Correction on white dragon times: according to the Nexon Announcement™ the white dragon is at the exact same time as the black one.

That was a bad idea that will only result in neither of them getting killed.

[SirAaronIII]

Yeah, the windows being the same is bad for fighting, but easier to remember. They're not guaranteed to spawn at the same time, but it's pretty likely.

On the bright side, the white dragon has reportedly less than half as much HP as the black one (2 mil vs 5 mil). So it should be easier to take the white one out if you don't mind getting mauled by blade wyverns.

[majikero]

Good thing about blade wyverns is they only maul one person at a time and it MAY be possible to melee it when its eating someone's face.

[Seriyu]

It is impossible to melee the blade wyverns while someone else is getting eaten. With this new development on white dragon HP I may suggest we all blitz the white dragon then try to kill the black dragon. Or maybe just alternate daily.

[Girlinhat]

I'd personally just spam White.  Black doesn't give as neat supplies or allow Archer role.

[Seriyu]

THe issue is a lot of stuff requires specifically black dragon parts (black dragon eyes blood nad heart are differentiated from white dragon eyes blood and heart) for some stuff sooooo that's nessecery I'm afraid.

ALSO THE SCIENCE EXPERIMENT OF THE CENTURY, ME AND DIR WILL BE, IN HALF AN HOUR, COMPETING TO SEE WHO CAN MAKE THE MOST MONEY/EXP VIA SPAMMING OUR PREFERRED METHODS

I WILL BE RUNNING SHADOW MISSIONS AND HE WILL BE RUNNING COMMERCE

Show up with pennants or something

[Seriyu]

THe results! Dir doubled me in every possible way. In hindsight a more fair test would be when I could run say, elites or hards at least. I feel commerce has a ceiling that is reached much quicker then shadow missions as you have to be a master to even attempt the hardest mission variety. I also ran a mission that did not give gold because I am a doof.

With that said COMMERCE OP PLZ NERF

(if someone would like to set up a more scientific experiment on this matter please feel free I would be happy to do the shadow mission runs)

[SirAaronIII]

For the record, he started the whole thing...
...and paid dearly for it. (also he is being bitter)

Shadow missions made:    290459.25 exp   7786 gold

I can also feel that I am right and Bar is wrong and that he is foolish for even starting this argument. Ha!

[krisslanza]

I'm pretty sure Commerce will always be the best source of EXP/gold. The perk is Shadow Missions give items, Commerce doesn't (okay you can BUY items but that's different).

Also a Shadow Mission might make more in a group, doing Elite or Lord. With a Shadow Crystal. (The Letters of Guarantee...)

And also, what was Dir trading? Because another thing is only really powerful players can solo Master-level Bandits. Otherwise you'll hit a kind of "softcap" by yourself, because bandits have a nasty habit of spawning right in front of you/under you sometimes...

[Girlinhat]

I helped defeat the white dragon.

My reward was a demonic scale fragment, gold, exp, and a weeding hoe.

Just a weeding hoe.  No enchants, no reforge, no special color.  Just... a weeding hoe.

[Seriyu]

Look dragons horde things whether or not they're of particular value.

[Kaitol]

Ahh. Mabinogi. Every time I tried it, I just ended up alone and confused with no clue what I should be doing, and quitting shortly thereafter. Most of it's my fault. I never really feel comfortable joining random groups unless I know what I'm doing/want. And I never knew what I was doing in Mabinogi. And my friends that tried it mostly quit quickly. So I ended up wandering around solo, with no clue about anything.

And yet I kept trying it. Maybe... Maybe this time....

[krisslanza]

Clearly the Weeding Hoe belong to a great and powerful ruler at one point.

I must say, I was quite surprised by these results. I already said in chat that I was expecting Bar to be right, but even after conceding his point about bad mission choice and advanced difficulty instead of hard (elite isn't easily repeatable, so that's out), I simply wasn't expecting that much from commerce. That's probably because when I do commerce, I don't watch time to know if it's been 20 minutes or an hour since I started; and 20 minutes of commerce always feel like an hour to me.

Guess I'll have to spend a bit more time doing commerce now


On the subject of dragon, it's worth mentioning that yesterday, the swarm of people ended up, eventually, on channel 5 and managed to kill whity there as well. I suspect they also killed another one or two on channel 2-4 since it took them a while to end up on 5 after killing the one from channel 1. So, multiple white dragon in a day is a possibility. You also get a demonic piece of material whenever you hit 1000+ contribution. So it isn't just an alternative source of material, it also makes any previous source meaningless. I'm quite fine with that

@ Kaitol

You should join the guild as soon as possible if you want to give Mabi another go. We are not very active, but there's a few of us showing up every now and then and we are generally willing to spend more time if we have any reason to (like to help someone or whatever). Mabi isn't the typical MMO, there is no clear linear progression. As such, setting your own goals will be essential to really enjoy the game. At least until you get to know other people better. Just spending time doing whatever with them could be enough for you after that.
