OP: Wait, didn't you already do this earlier...?

/forum/mabinogi-gene...ew-player.html

Eh, either way, I'm still eager to help.

IGNs: Chromegigas (Giant, main), Chromearcher (Elf), Djinnises (Human), Chromeheart (Human).

I use all four of them, almost equally. Just add Chromegigas for now.

-TIPS-

Spoiler!

Melee: The basic physics of combat is more of a rock-paper-scissors kind of thing. This game is not your standard hack and slash; you can't keep trying to run at your enemy with basic melee attacks. That being said, you'll need Skills, which in a very short time you'll learn. It's recommended you set these Skills in the F1~F12 Hotkeys for easier use.

Ranged: With a bow and some arrows, you can shoot enemies from afar and cause enemies to be wounded (as in, they cannot regenerate HP past a certain point). Each chance of nailing a hit is determined by a constantly rising percentage rate over your head while you aim. That's your percent chance of hitting the monster; lower percent rates mean less likely to hit, while higher percent rates mean more likely to hit. Also, the closer you are to a targer, the faster the percent rate increases. If you want to focus on Ranges combat, it's best to rank up Ranged Attack ASAP for faster aiming speeds.

Magic: With mana, you can cast spells from afar. Unlike Ranged, you may always hit the target with your magic. Of course, you have to be mindful of your Mana points; a Mana-less mage is a dead one, unless he/she can also fight with Melee and/or Range.Each offensive spell can be charged up to five times only. Now, the basic elements of magic consist of Ice, Fire, and Lightning. If you want to focus on magic, it's recommended that you rank Icebolt first.

Rebirthing: A method used to reset your level and age to 1 and within age 10 through 17, respectively. You can either use a Character Card (Basic or Premium; both are cash and you can change your looks with them) or wait for the 'Freebirth.' One thing you must know is that your character grows a year older every Saturday at 12 PM PST (3 PM EST). If you're using the 'Freebirth' method, it's recommended you start at age 17, so you only have to wait 3 weeks to rebirth rather than a whole 10 weeks if you start at Age 10. You don't lose the skills that you've learned; in fact, it's imperative that you use Rebirth to reset your levels when leveling becomes much harder and slower, so that you can gain more AP from leveling and rank up those skills.
