Dear Milletians,
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated you about the many content updates we love to see in Erinn. Things have been quite busy for the past few months as the team and I have been working tirelessly to implement all of the new contents you’ve seen in Q4 last year, as well as the January and February updates this year. With many aspects to review and features to test, it has been a whirlwind of conversation and discovery throughout each patch cycle. This is an ever trending cadence for us as we continue to work on each upcoming release, so we are always very appreciative of your excitement and understanding!
Without further ado, we are so excited to share with you about some of the events and contents that you can expect to see this year. Starting off with our beloved…
💕 Doki Doki Island! 💕
Sior and Reni are featured in adorable illustrations that remind us of the longing, reminiscent times we have spent with our Soulmates… digging potatoes, flying the skies, and forever fishing. I hope you have been enjoying these activities, along with all the exciting changes and activities added to the lovely Doki Doki Island this February! Don’t forget to check out the full travel brochure to get the full experience.
P.S. you can download the wallpapers on our media page!
🌟 16th Anniversary 🌟
Mabinogi NA is celebrating our 16th Anniversary this year! The Festival of Stars will bring the return of many Festia activities like the Festia Instant Prize, and a new basketball minigame! Starry themed items like new damage skins, outfits, chairs, and a Starry Sheeptuplet will have you seeing stars all over Erinn. Alongside these in-game events, we will have our annual Anniversary GM Event to celebrate, and more Community contests held during the month! We can’t wait to send out some exclusive Arcana: Dark Arts physical prizes to the winners of these events, so keep an eye out for further news! We can’t wait to see you!
VIP Service Renewal is just around the corner, as we finish up the final tests and tie up all the pretty bows on the addition of four new package types, including all your favorite features and more. We’ll share all of the details about the new packages soon (your current service will carry over, don’t worry!), as well as all the fun stuff like, what’s in the packages? (You’ll see!) Are they tradable? (Yes!) Can the Extra Equipment Slot be free with VIP? (Yes!) What about Style Tab? (What about it? It will be free for everyone!)
Mini-games Forever! An update later this year will also bring many of the event mini-games to you to play anytime, anywhere~ What other kinds of mini-games would you like to see one day?
Renovation Season 5
With the newly introduced Arcana talents, the combat of Mabinogi has begun to change. Additional skill revisions will make their debut with our fifth season of Renovation which aims to reduce the gap between some talent and Arcana skills, and increase usability. This update will focus on improving the overall viability of using certain skills in combat, such as increased damage, reduced cooldowns, and other changes to improve skills in the following areas:
- Combat (Smash, Bash, Counterattack, Assault Slash)
- Increased damage, reduced cooldowns, and some changes to skill functionality will supplement the skills usability
- Lance
- Revising lance skill functionality and implementation of new lance-only skills that support the talent further, without the use of a mounted pet
- Lance ‘Blow’ will knockback enemies in a straight line with effective damage similar to Lance Charge, while Lance ‘Step’ will let you gain distance for Lance Charge and charge to enemies fast.
- Breath of Ladeca
- Improving the movement speed and bonus damage effects
- Shield Effects
- Changed damage reduction from being reduced by shield size to being reduced by the new [damage reduction] effect added for shield items.
Chapter 8: Generation 26
Maybe the most captivating news is that the beginning of a new Chapter will present itself this Summer! Chapter 8: Generation 26 will bring a new storyline, NPCs and monsters, and all the great stuff we love packed into Generation updates. Do you have any discoveries you wish to uncover?
Moonlight Island
Moonlight Island is a new take on creating a unique lifestyle space for you and your favorite NPCs. With many new features to decorate and expand the island to your liking, such as changing the island’s topography, you can also invite residents to the island to engage in various production activities and acquire various items that are helpful to your Erinn life. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create, and I am sure we will have more to share regarding this special creative update once we grow closer to the update! What kinds of things would you want to add to your island?
There will also be improvements to the Homestead so that you can decorate freely in your original sanctuary place! The purpose of these updates is to expand the options you have to create, rest, and make happy memories in places that you enjoy most!
Thank you, Milletians, for always supporting the world so many of us feel safe in. 2024 will bring many new memories for us in Erinn. With the Mabinogi Eternity in development, we are even seeing further glimpses of our future Fantasy Life, made possible from your everlasting love of Mabinogi. Please look forward to more update news later, and I hope to see you all in-game soon!
Until next time,
~ GM Mewlynne, a Milletian of 16 Years
