All characters are made of glass.  Get Mana Shield ASAP and rank it frequently, it's a major investment that pays off in spades.

I can do stuff this evening, we can grab you the skill and some dungeon.

[Singularity125]

That was a quick reply.  Thanks! Now that you mention it, I remember being partway to getting Mana Shield, but stopped at the "someone you love" step. So I need any random female character to jump in a party with me for 3 seconds. Beyond that, my AP right now is going to training Windmill but I'll try to get Mana Shield to a decent rank too. What rank do you recommend?

[Girlinhat]

As a rule, ranks 9 and 5 are good stopping points.  If you look at the effects of skills, they grow at a larger rate at A->9 and 6->5 and 2->1.  It's worth getting to these rather than stopping short.

[alexwazer]

Mana shield is currently capped at rank 6 however. It's worth ranking to its cap sooner or later, but the skill doesn't get all that much more benefit at the usual ranks. So get it to whatever rank you can, but keep training it and getting an extra rank every rebirth or two.

While I haven't been playing lately, I'm always ready to hop in to help. So if you want a hand for G1, just let me know when. I've got plenty of time on hand currently, so whatever time suits you would be fine. Edit: And, by the way, this is the case for whoever might want help or even just company to do something. I have no interest in doing stuff on my own, but I am still interested in doing activities with others, although not just anything (go sheep shearing yourself!)

Note: While the "all characters are made of glass" thing is certainly not untrue, and you should at all times strive to avoid being hit by attacks, heavy armor and a shield will greatly improve your durability. You will still not be able to tank by any stretch of the imagination, even with mana shield, but it can give you some breathing room.

Also don't feel bad, G1 is easily in the top three hardest gens, and mabinogi is already a brutal game to start with. Stumbling a bit at the beginning is expected and encouraged!

You don't learn by winning all the time after all.

[majikero]

Give your IGN here and I'll mail you potions tomorrow.

Mabi is easier compared to back in the day. We didn't have bags, pets or all these AP. We had to walk through Iria on foot, both ways to all the gates just to get around! 

[Singularity125]

Thanks for all the support guys. Glad to see the guild has some life in it yet.

I would love to try to tackle G1 later tonight... perhaps in a couple hours or so? I would certainly like to get at least rank F Mana Shield first though. I'm more or less available throughout the weekend, as I don't really have any other plans for now.

My IGN is Xandak. Just lemme know when you guys want to group up and get stuff taken care of, and I'll try to be around.

[alexwazer]

Ok, I logged in and will be doing some afk fishing for a while. I still need that skill book for music knowledge.

If you want to run G1, just send me a message and, if I fail to reply in a timely manner, do so on Steam (same name as here and also in the Mabi group).

[Kaitol]

Seeing as I can finally rebirth my giant today, I'll be on after noon server time. My computer has been wonky lately, with half my bloody system resources being used even when I'm running nothing sometimes, so I definitely can't run steam and the game now.

I'll reiterate his name is... Kraendal... (I think) or.... was it Kraendel? Bloody hell it was one of the two. If anyone wants me for anything.

I just logged in to find that my free horse has expired before I even got a reason to use him.

Is anybody's IGN Direzie? They've added me to their friend's list.

[majikero]

The free 7 day horse card? Ditch it and do the tutorial quests. It gives you an eagle and horse.

[SirAaronIII]

Direzie? Sounds like some creepy weirdo. (it's me)

This is true too.

Well crap, I got the horse whistle before deleting the card I already had. Will the horse whistle not work now or anything?

Nice to meet you in-game SirAaron

[majikero]

Just be careful not to delete the permanent horse and you should be fine.

[itisnotlogical]

So I have both the horse and the eagle now, and they're both confusing me.

1. Is there no such thing as mounted combat? The log says that the animal has started attacking, but it ironically seems impossible to use a lance from atop a large animal.

2. Where can I fly my eagle? As far as I've seen, the answer is "Nowhere in immediate range".
