Pretty sure Guns scale to your INT, as they use Mana Bullets. And are guns akimbo, from what I've seen. Revolvers, I think.

The only ones listed on the wiki are.  But I'll be betting they come out with rifles and maybe single-hands.  Be interesting to see players with a gun and shield...

INT scaling would certainly be interesting!  I can do that too, being an archer+mage.

Of course, this also sounds pretty similar to Cylinders, when you think about what things they might be able to do...

Maybe, who knows! The only problem I see is they'd have to completely re-do the animations for every weapon... the animations I saw seem pretty specific to guns akimbo.

It DOES look pretty cool though. I'm planning to make an elf just to use it (though I didn't know at the time, that it was based on INT)

[SirAaronIII]

I did it. I helped kill a dragon! Unfortunately at the end I mistakenly hit Fullscreen and started lagging to hell, but I have the gold bag and Bariaus' word to prove it. Got 1835 contribution points out of 7500 so I probably didn't get anything good.

[Seriyu]

Yeah I can back it up, he helped, along with the noble sacrifice of "life drain guy" which as far as I could gather, since life drain does percentile based damage, would take a huge chunk out of the dragon with every shot, but he had to be fairly damaged to use it, and he eventually pushed his luck too far. RIP.

And the "more contribution points = more rewards" is only a theory, but I'd be surprised if it didn't work like that. So there's still a reason to travel in a group/be buff enough to wrassle with raptors on your own.

[Girlinhat]

Knowing Mabi, it's probably tiered.  "Score X contribution, qualify for Y reward pool."

I'm gonna have to start powering into Archery.  We should get a demon weapon on SOMEONE, and masterful archery can go a great deal into ripping down enemies.

[SirAaronIII]

Life Drain guy survived. I think. Pretty sure, he survived long enough to life drain the dragon a few times.

So here's the complete story:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was on the way to Ciar Normal Hardmode with ole Bar and then some guy says "CH1 DRAGON QILLA 30 SECONDS" or something and I decide to go along because I can't resist the call of a dragon. Anyway I go to channel 1 head there by ship and I stand around confused for a bit until I decide to teleport back to Dunbarton, where there's a Messenger who can teleport you to wherever a Black Dragon is (there's a messenger in every town). So I do that, get the field quest as a garrison, and see this HUGE CROWD ALL SLAMMING A DRAGON which naturally means there's a dragon what needs killing. So I fight it, spamming lots of smashes because that's what the role of Garrison does. During the fight I see the Life Drain guy, and thought it was kinda funny to see the little yellow beam of light so I shouted LIFE DRAIN GUY in guild chat to ole Bar. A while later when the dragon's at 14% health,I slip while trying to take a screenshot, and accidentally hit the fullscreen button which causes disastrous lag. I guess everyone else managed to take out that 14% while I was lagged because then I got the reward dialog, which consisted of 9175 gold in a pouch that was delivered to me, 3 Stamina 500 RE potions, and a lot of EXP.

Knowing Mabi, it's probably tiered.  "Score X contribution, qualify for Y reward pool."

Yeah, I believe that's how it works. A demon weapon is considerably harder than a dragon, though the dragon supposedly drops dragon parts a la Monster Hunter so a Black Dragon weapon might be in the future.

...Reinstalling Mabi.


You people suck. 

[Girlinhat]

Yeah, I believe that's how it works. A demon weapon is considerably harder than a dragon, though the dragon supposedly drops dragon parts a la Monster Hunter so a Black Dragon weapon might be in the future.

To produce a demon weapon, you have to win (several) Lord Missions.  These are made to be 'ultimate end game' at least for the current level of players.  The entire thing of them is 'bring a max party of incredible level players, AND be careful!'  If anyone remembers the old runs we made to Karu and got roflstomped by glowing spiders?  It's like that for end-game junkies!

[SirAaronIII]

Yeah, I know what a Lord mission is and I know that demonic weapons involve grinding Lord for materials, not to mention the Master talent blacksmith needed to make them and the Master talent needed to use them. What I meant was that since the official Nexon page about the black dragons has these on them as rewards:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Black Dragon Heart
Black Dragon Eyeball
Dragon Bone Fragment
Black Dragon Blood
Dragon Claw
Dragon Scale Fragment
Dragon Flesh

that maybe they could be for crafting Demon Weapons Lite, as I can't see any other use for them as of now.

But yeah demon weapons are so rad.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Bah, download failed... For the best, I'm sure.

[TwilightWalker]

I should probably start this back up too...

[bluejello]

I have also decided to start playing mabinogi...  but in my case I played it years ago (pretty close to when it was launched, or at least closer to launch then now)  and decided to try it again.

[krisslanza]

Dang I tried the dragon. I can't even do it, even with Optimization I get like 1-5FPS during the entire thing, and even when I Swear I was beating up Raptors and hitting the dragon, I ended up with like 18 contribution.

[Girlinhat]

Protip for anyone fighting the dragon:
Go to options -> game -> etc.
Turn OFF talent icons.

Mabi should automatically make low-poly, textureless models for players when the screen gets too busy, but then there's MASSIVE lag in the names of people.  You can improve your FPS drastically by turning off talent icons, and holding 'alt' during the fight, so that all names are reduced to a single world.  This easily brought my FPS from 1 to maybe 15-20.

[SirAaronIII]

Yeah, pressing ctrl-n should help as it hides the names and titles of people around you too. You can also manually activate the "minimize other characters" option by pressing / on the numpad.

[Girlinhat]

Ctrl-N is amazing...  Ctrl-P also disables party boxes!

Also, we all need to get Transformation Mastery.  Then we all become bears.
