30 bucks is a ton of money to justify spending on Mabi right now... are the Maid and Butler really worth that? What do they actually do, anyway? I guess the Maid can cook, but that's all I've gathered from Nexon's description.

I would say no. The main selling point is the fact you can choose their appearance and equip them with various gear. They also provide daily quests, but IIRC the maid and butler's are pretty bad and often hard to complete. As Malt pointed out, the commerce partner is by far better as it can be used during commerce, increase the amount of goods you can carry (number of stacks and maximum weight), has better combat stats and also have easy daily quests rewarding tons of experience. With enough disposition (raised from gifting and doing daily quests), she can also help gathering herbs, eggs and such. I think that's also true for the maid and butler, but I am not sure. They have a few others gimmicks, but since I only have a commerce partner, I can't really say much about those.

The partner page on the wiki has more details about them. I haven't gone through all the details myself, but I consider 30,000 NX to be a bit excessive. The commerce partner was slightly under 15,000 NX and is, in my opinion, a better choice. So I would hold up and hope that those comes up either later during this sale or later during Holiday sales.

I'm trying to dial back my playing so that I won't get burned out. like our 6-month absent guild officer

I'm afraid the daily rush might be eroding my soul, though.

If that's how you feel, quit dailies. No, you will not get your royal armor by New Year's Eve, but you will probably enjoy your time in-game at least three-fold.

Abandoning the pursuit of anything productive and imposing myself on random people has worked wonders for me.

Dailies will burn you out if you’re not carefully dedicated.  If you really do want that Royal Knight Armor you could try using alts to farm the easier seals.  With three characters (Human, free Giant, free Elf) you could collect 9 to 12 seals easy by doing Shyllien, Hillwen, Gathering, and Puppets.  You may need to channel hop for a bit to get an easy gathering daily as it’s based on successful gathering over just turning in the items.  Eggs are the easiest but firewood and wool aren’t too bad either.  The main time spent will be on the gathering daily and travel time for the Shyl/Hill.  Puppets may require time investment for paper crane folding to level up your skills enough to satisfy rank C and B jobs.  All told, I’d say you could do 3 characters at ~20 minutes each depending on gathering and mana gate activation.

If the guild could get a dedicated chef there are also two cooking dailies that appear to be just drop-off quests.  But then I’ve heard that cooking is a major grind so that may not happen easily.

But the better choice to avoid burnout would be to listen to Ibid and just play the game for fun.

Also, bone dragon for Black Friday sale.  Fourms seem split between “Thank you Nexon!” and general meh.

Part of the issue with cooking is that, one, like ou said, it's a major grind, like most crafting skills. BUT!

Like much fewer crafting skills it takes an amazingly huge amount of inventory space.

Cyber Monday Special update!

The long-awaited, highly-sought after, fiercely coveted and jealously guarded Luxury Item Bags have returned until noon tomorrow at the neat price of 4,400 NX! I initially missed out on these, much to my regret until a great friend who managed to get his hands a couple shared one with me. With 10x14 inventory space for equipment (weapons and armor), I now practically live out of the thing!

If there is anything I could recommend from the cashshop selection at any time, this is it!

[Seriyu]

Is it too late to put that in the title? Or is the sale almost over already?

You have one hour to do so, and disappoint everyone who sees it afterwards.

I barely realized the sale was going on myself. Relying on pets isn't the end of the world, anyhow, and if we're lucky we'll see them again come spring.

GUESS WHO JUST GOT THE LAST PIECE OF HIS THAMES PLATE SET!
Yeah, the guy who just made this post.
I can now smash for over 2200 on crits, and it's GLORIOUS.

[SirAaronIII]

Nice! The boots are pretty hard to get since they only come from ballooning, so that's quite an accomplishment. Did you get both enhancements or just smash?

Congratulations, apprentice. You have succeeded where I failed!

[Facekillz058]

Oh, but I'm horribly broke again. The boots ran me 400k and my Dragon Fang,

For anyone interested, the Diva/Starlet update is up. Along with it, a few new events I will gladly ignore have started and also a long awaited change to the gate system. Tons of new mana tunnels/moon gates have been added and they now work all day/night. The days of going AFK while waiting for gate are over.

I'll be playing a bit here and there, but not really going to get back into Mabi until Vate is released, which might be another month.

[Ibid Straydrink]

Wooohooo!

*uninstalls freshly installed Skyrim*

Gameward!
