Milletian… we cordially invite you as a guest to one of Erinn’s most secretive corridors that only a select few are welcome. We ask that you enjoy your time, enjoy the celebration… and maybe read a book or two while you’re here.

Event Details

Event Dates: Thursday, March 6th, After Maintenance - Thursday, April 3rd, Before Maintenance

Upon logging in, you’ll receive the quest [Guide] 17th Anniversary: An Invitation to Mystery as well as Leath’s Letter.
- Read the letter to both select difficulty and register a main character.
  - You will also receive an Orange Wings of a Goddess to whisk you to a location most Milletians are allergic to.
- You will receive the following rewards for completing the quest:
  - 5,000 EXP
- While only the main character will be able to participate in the story, mini-games, and earn rewards, all characters on your account will be allowed to visit the new location once you’ve discovered it.
  - While you’re there, Leath loves to hear about your adventures, receive presents, and more! Try equipping various generational and dungeon-related titles to get a fun reaction from him! (Preferably not dog food...)

That’s not all! Check out what else is happening around Erinn during this time of celebration:
- When issuing a check from any bank in Erinn, all characters will receive a 17th Anniversary Check design.

What’s an anniversary celebration without mini-games? The Booksprites around the library have set up many different types of mini-games to test your skills, knowledge, and reflexes. You’ll earn unique prizes from each mini-game, so be sure to check them all out!

Attempting any of the mini-games will net you a 17th Anniversary Story Snippet.
You can only earn 5 Story Snippets per day (resets at 7:00 AM PST/PDT) across all mini-games. Don’t try to fool the Booksprites, they know and see all!

Who's that Whirling Sprite?

Speak to Yoyo towards the back of the library to start this mini-game!
You’ll watch several Booksprites whirling around with one being different from the rest. You’ll need to guess what that unique Booksprite looked like, but be quick! They won’t be on screen for too long!
There are 5 rounds in total, each round will be tougher than the last, so sharpen those observation skills Milletians!
Depending on how many you get correct, you can earn up to 30,000 Exploration EXP.
Getting at least 3 correct will net you a Library of Secrets Transformation Medal Fragment.
- Combine 3 fragments to acquire a Shamala’s Transformation Medal.
- You are limited to obtaining 3 fragments per real life day (resets at 7:00 AM PST/PDT).

Stage of Trials

Looking to showcase your achievements and scale the toughest boss rush Erinn has to offer? The Stage of Trials is for you then! The trials have two modes: Basic and Veteran. Talk to Fofo who is next to Nono in the Library or read below on what to expect:

Every Day, you’re given 3 attempts to make it to the end of the trials.
The Stage of Trials is a 1-room dungeon with 15 bosses.
The following restrictions apply in the dungeon:
- Cannot summon pets
- Cannot revive
- Cannot enter with a party
- Cannot use a Rag Doll
- Cannot use a Marshal Weapon

- Cannot use the following skills:
  - Anchor Rush
  - Tumble
  - Wings of Eclipse

In Basic, you’ll be given a rest point after every 3 rounds.
- Additionally, the stage manager will apply one of the following buffs of your choosing:
  - Power
  - Defense
  - Speed
In Veteran, you’ll attempt to clear it without any rest period or extra buffs.

Of course, we wouldn’t leave our most courageous Milletians without goodies!

Completing at least the first stage of the trials each day will count towards the Daily and Achievement Quests of the Event.
- Limit once per real life day; resets at 7:00 AM PST/PDT.
For each attempt, you can choose your type of reward EXP:
- Combat EXP
- Exploration EXP
- Music Renown EXP
- Life Renown EXP
Finally, the Booksprites are providing titles for those who reach the following accomplishments:

Dungeons that Drag-on

Do you enjoy dungeons? Do you enjoy roleplaying?, then this mini-game’s for you! Talk to the Elder Booksprite to get started!

This mini-game will have you roleplay one of three famous characters as you clear a Uladh Dungeon.
- Legendary Warrior - Reno
- Legendary Mage - Vay
- Legendary Archer - Tion
You’ll work with the other two legendary characters to complete the dungeon.
- Completing each room will allow your character to grow stronger, tackling stronger enemies with each room until you reach the boss.
- Despite the dungeon consisting of the legendary trio, this mini-game is solo-only.
Completing the dungeon will earn you the following rewards:
- +10 Levels for your character.
  - If you are Level 190 or higher, you will only gain levels up to the Level cap of 200.
- 1x Aggressor’s Will
- 1x Defender’s Will
  - You can earn up to 3 Aggressor’s and Defender’s Will per day.
  - Both the Aggressor’s and Defender’s Will will expire after 14 days.

Developer Thank You Notes

Throughout the celebration, enemies throughout Erinn will drop Thank-You Note Fragments. As you received the Developer’s Notebook in [Event] 17th Anniversary: Be Our Guest, be sure to collect all 27 fragments to complete the book, composed of thank you notes, heartfelt messages, and even custom artwork from the Mabinogi Team!

Instant Prize Capsule Machine

Tucked away in a small corner of the Library of Secrets, you notice a little prize machine filled with goodies. It reminds you of the one in Festia in prior years. What potential prizes are up for grabs this year?

Click on the Capsule Machine in the Southwest corner of the library to open the Instant Prize Window. If you’re too busy to stop by the Library, you can also enter remotely through the Event UI Button!
You can use 20,000 Gold or 1x Instant Prize Ticket to draw from the Capsule Machine.
The capsule can only hold so much gold, so to be fair to all participating Milletians, only 20 gold entries per real-life day will be accepted.
- Instant Prize Tickets do not have a limit, but you will only be able to use the current week’s tickets.
Gold entries reset every real life day at 8:00 PM PST/PDT.
Higher-end prizes are in limited stock and are for the entire server.
- The Prize Window will display how many prizes are left for the server.
All prizes will be re-stocked every Thursday at 7:00 AM PST/PDT.
