MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

Does anyone know how to do this? I just can't play with the existing font, I have to put my face right up to the screen to see anything people are saying in chat.

Though current Mabi long since took some of the interestingness out of Alchemy by doing away with skill crystals, I believe it would be a good middle ground to make them more easily accessible, such as all Golems, Life Drain, Rain Casting, and Shock. To that end I propose simply nerfing the creation recipes to require less quantity of items. As the server 2x rates don't benefit things like wood chopping and Cuilin stone mining.

It's also seriously painful that basic crystals like Water will only stack to 50. Even with a bag, that sure is cluttersome... Only 10 uses of a basic attack skill (fully charged) per inventory slot.

As for Magic, my main suggestion is to eliminate the expiration timer on things like Fireball pages. Though the quest itself can be exciting, between the smaller size of the server (limited sales opportunity) and the fact that some of us have difficult schedules, the timer isn't making the game more fun, it's just stressful. Mana evaporation really stinks in terms of versatility too.

Anyway, thanks for reading and for working on this server at all! Hope to see you ingame and keep on being awesome! Props to Flipend0 who I remember fondly from MabiRe!

I started around G2. It was a fun game, but I quickly got frustrated at how progress was impossible without paid rebirth, and you needed service for the main story quests. I was still a kid and couldn't afford stuff like that!

I rejoined the game around G8, since those things had been rectified, and played for a long time well into the Alchemy era, only to leave again around G12 because I ran out of interesting content and most of my friends got unreliable, along with frustration at the server being ruled by rich elitist players with lots of cash to blow on the game. I could handle buying a few pets around this time, but "whales" just kept ruining it for me.

Rejoined again several times, played around with stuff like Avon and Saga, didn't last long any of those times because the server was still ruled by the same rich elitist jerks, this time with reforges making the gap even wider, and there were no parties for high level stuff that didn't involve them.

See the common thread? That's why I'm here instead. Well, that and original Mabi is totally broken and messy and yuck now, and the people here are great so far.

I agree with all of these! I think dungeon tweaking is one of those things that's been a really popular idea, and I'd love to see the available pet assortment grow and change. Magic desperately needs a usability improvement too, to be on the level with the other main skill sets. The arrows in Shyla's shop are great for ranged characters, but stocking MP potions and/or preservation stones would serve a similar "ammunition" purpose for mages! (Or nix the preservation stones and just remove evaporation, that works too.)

Theatre missions too of course!
I believe the entry requirements should be cut to half of what they currently are, so players can choose to keep things challenging. Each total level on MabiPro is worth more than a normal Mabi level because of 2x AP, so a level 50+ could possibly be ready to challenge Int Difficulty missions intended for total 100+. Once you get a good party together, Basic will grow too easy, too And people will be wanting to challenge Advanced long before 300!

Well, as players we can compile a list of rewards to post ourselves too! So, post 'em up, friends! Here's things I've seen, however which are and aren't currently present since the updating is unclear:

- Nakuru Dragon Robe (M)
- Blutsauger
- Red/Black Dragon Blade
- Eyepatch
- Pink/White LLB
- Butterfly Silk Wear (F)
- Black/White Kite Shield

Thank you for this post, I was just wondering this and was hoping it wasn't someone trying to attack the server! Don't worry, you haven't failed in the slightest, some technical hiccups and optimization tweaks are a natural part of a growing game like this.

Hear hear!

Removal would be another possible helpful solution, yes As long as they're careful to make sure it doesn't mean all players get forced into Hard mode generation quests regardless of level for instance.

I think they're a really great idea in a general sense! But yes, they need to be droppable... and the rewards aren't usually worth it. My friend got one earlier that was like "kill 30 bears for 2k."
Maybe have a chance to award red coins or gacha or something and then they'll be exciting. More quest types is a nice idea too, it's a thing that's got a lot of potential.

Can't deny I'm not a little sad about the Skeletons depending on how far it goes... here's hoping they're still worth playing with. It'll be nice to have the Red Envelope quests improved though. Because those give more variety.

I understand we're supposed to be getting the gacha update in Shyla's shop fairly soon, hopefully! So I thought we needed a thread about what types of items we'd like to see in it. So, post yours too if you have any thoughts!

NPC and monster equipment and clothing: Ever wanted Mari's bow? How about Hamlet's costume, or maybe you wanted to swing around that big halberd like a Shadow Lancer...

Staves of various kinds: This is an entire weapon type that's almost impossible to get right now! In NA they were immediately available as part of the G13 release event as well as numerous gacha.

Shields of various kinds: Because seeing nothing but Kites is boring.

Shadow Crystals, Exploration Artifacts, Upgrade Stones: These are pretty typical rewards that aren't that exciting, but always have value to almost anyone. If not here, then making these more accessible through discovery in the game somewhere would be fun too.

NO to heavily enchanted items (with the exception of maybe Accessories)... but YES to ancient powder and interesting enchant scrolls, preferably non-expiring ones, to bring value to enchanting and let players pick what to put them on!

NO to cheap NPC buyable items: C'mon, guys. Don't be Nexon. I don't wanna spend 100 coins on a few stacks of Stam 30's.

Whatever that starry sparkle stick is that Courtneyy carries around. It's pretty.

Just nerfing the quests a little would be much better in my opinion... Do away with the long Aeira wait and TNN Saturday requirement, especially.

The uptick in people calling for giant nerfs really concerns me: I'd like to throw my voice in as one of the players who enjoys the fact that this server is casual-friendly and not excessively punishing. It's a great game to pick up and chill out (on my own or with friends) and not stress too much about whether my build's going to be crippled by wand repairs. If someone doesn't like that, the files are available to create their own ultra-hardcore server, not change what a lot of people already enjoy.

Nice hostility you've got there. Nexon's Mabi isn't relaxed, it's a pay to win steamroller chat room mishmash. This has the potential to be a fun game/is already a fun game. I also enjoy the friendly nature of most people in this community and I'm going to defend that against elitism.

I agree wholeheartedly with these thoughts on Magic. At the moment I feel kind of like the game hates me for being a mage.

Personally, I'm excited about the possibility of monsters getting more varied skills, but Ciar Normal goblins shouldn't be what's getting them! Give 'em to bosses and more challenging enemies. For example, Nightmare Humanoid with Charge might actually be threatening instead of just kind of a joke.

I'm also disappointed that people don't seem to like the idea of lowering shadow mission requirements, because as we get to higher levels our current difficulties will get too easy. We'll have the AP of someone level 1k at 500, yet not be able to try out Hard Missions for another 500 levels. I've heard it brought up that it's for the sense of accomplishment of unlocking them, but wouldn't you get more of that from completing a higher difficulty mission while underleveled? Plus, there's a lot more of those to do

Just wanted to say that this sounds bonkers fun and I love it. Would it still explode at the end, and if so would it be fire or non-elemental? This would make a great "adv magic" of our own, with a fun quest even.

I second this, an unrepairable robe is much less worth the 25 coins it cost me to get one!

I can understand the desire to even out the desirability of dungeons against each other, but it would be nice if they weren't all thrown in the trash heap when they already need to be improved to be worth it vs. shadow missions. Rabbie's barely worth the time anymore. (And Normal certainly isn't.) I hope the same doesn't happen to Math.
