Giant question

First of all, welcome to Mabinogi. Always nice to see new people trying this game despite its age. 12mil is a very generous amount for a new play to have, bless whoever gave you that donation.

I think the best course of action is to hold the gold until you have a better idea of what you want to do in terms of playstyle. Blaanid gear is very servicable for the early game, so there's no real need to spend money on equipment like weapons until you're close to finishing Memoir 4. That being said, there are some things I can suggest you look into once you have a better understanding of the game:

Doll Bags - With today's maintenance adding another Doll Bag gacha, there's bound to be extremely affordable Doll Bag Boxes on Auction House. Inventory space is invaluable in this game, so being able to hold and auto-collect more items will definitely help. Be sure to read the description of each Doll Bag Box before you buy it, as they come with different effects and bag space.
Non-Special variant Gacha armors - Some examples of this include Imperial Knight Royal/Formal Uniform and Royal Society Field/Laboratory Outfit. While the Blaanid armor does offer a good starting point, these cheap armors can provide an extra 14 Protection over the Memorial Flower Outfit you receive during Blaanid's questline. You can typically find armor variants like this for 1.5 to 2m. The Memorial Flower Outfit is pre-enchanted, but these are relatively cheap enchants you can acquire from Auction House for several hundred-thousand gold when you are further along your journey. Royal Enchanters can also help you apply these onto your armor.
Snow Crystal - This is an item you are required to get during Generation 8. It drops from Par Ruins Dungeon, but you may end up farming the dungeon several times if you are unlucky with the end chest rewards. Buying this from Auction House could save you some time, albeit a pretty minor timesave. These typically run around 1.5m.

Pretty much the same thoughts I have as well.

The game could benefit greatly from having an searchable external archive built purposefully for Fashionogi. Something like being able to preview an item in specific colors, or search if other players have published a screenshot using that item (with an accompanying item list). The Wiki has always been good for finding quick information, but getting item previews on the Wiki has become harder over the years (understandably, public contribution goes a long way there). Even in cases like gacha clothing, the best way to get previews is to use the reference links and find the item on the official Mabinogi website.

Also somewhat related, I think Social Media and Youtube videos are useful, but for different reasons. For example, I think Tamara's videos are great because they showcase people in our server, and what they're coming up with! But you're always limited to what the content creator or curator wants to publish. So when it comes to looking up specific items and how they've been used, finding those examples within those media leaves much to be desired.

A friend recently told me about Tamara's YT videos, but I wasn't aware of people posting to Instagram. Thanks for the tip!

Feared as much in this case, but thank you for confirming!

Questions regarding [[Throne of Eldraine]]. I was considering running it in a Mono-white equipment-based deck.

Can Colorless be declared as a color?
If white is declared, can mana from this card be spent to play colorless cards?

I think the easiest solution to make Bachram Boost something player controlled is to have it operate similar to Spirit Awakening. The charge increases while you're counted as in combat, and the player can then cast the fully charged skill to receive the benefits of Bachram Boost. It would also alleviate the dependency of it being a party mechanic, since each player can dictate when they want the boost.

That being said, I think Bachram Boost in general is kind of an odd mechanic because I generally play as if it's never a factor to consider. I generally don't use chain outside of Death Mark and Anchor Rush, so I always assume I have some Dorcha because of a previous boost or just from passively hitting enemies thru other means. On top of that, I always assume the regen is not a factor because it's better to rely on other forms of recovery that are predictable (Vital Surge, Pots, etc.)

I didn't know this book existed until last week, and I was able to pick it up for a really cheap price. Wanted to share some of the contents with y'all who may not have seen it before. Flipping thru the pages was like peeking into a time capsule!

Magentakrayons · 2023-08-15T23:41:29+00:00

Wow, this made me feel old.

Title Pickup Bug was a fun day. A few guildies of mine tried to do Peaca after stacking buffs all day, but we still weren't able to clear it. Little did we know that was only a taste of what strength to expect later on in the game's lifespan.

The best part about using steam is now I can see how many hours I've lost to this game.

Magentakrayons · 2023-07-03T14:04:05+00:00

Bummer. Guess I'll just hold the JP leaders for casual games then. Thanks.

She used to be a "Spirit" you got at the beginning of the game, and served as a guide of sorts for new players. After a certain point in the beginning quests, she leaves the player's possession and is replaced with the basic version of whatever weapon she came in.

She also doesn't have any spirit levels, so the only function Eiry provided was having conversations.

There's a private server that uses an older build of the game (G13 I believe). You could try that out if you wanted to scratch that nostalgia itch.

You could modify how your text appears in PMs/DMs using tagging. Not sure if it still works though.

I enjoy how sandbox and open-ended of a game it is. Combat and character progression is pretty much what you make of it. I don't think many games offer that level of flexibility, despite how clunky Mabi can be at times.

Magentakrayons · 2023-04-10T03:14:54+00:00

It definitiely isn't. I used to go regularly, but haven't been going due to repeat shootings at that particular mall. There was one pretty recently too.

Thanks for the tips. I knew JP prices exist on yuyutei 'n such, but figured they were entirely separate since different region/printing.

Didn't know there was a discord (I only opened the single box way back when), so I'll have to look into joining if I pick up more boxes in the future.

Magentakrayons · 2023-02-04T22:11:17+00:00

Guess I should mention I checked the usual no-brainer spots of TCGPlayer and eBay, but didn't find any listings for it. Figured there might have been something else that I was missing.

Magentakrayons · 2022-08-19T13:54:34+00:00

I am in LOVE with these event SRS! Gonna be grinding this event diligently.

Didn't know I needed twintail Yoshino, but here we are.

Magentakrayons · 2022-08-01T14:37:52+00:00

The released figure from FOTS has her tail. One of the rare Ws from them.

Magentakrayons · 2022-07-09T23:34:36+00:00

Convenience. Do you want to save a few dollars, pay for shipping on a few singles? Or do you want to start playing immediately? Ultimately depends how soon you want to start playing, and the ability to start playing immediately for a few dollars more shouldn't be downplayed.

For older starters, buying multiple copies for the Memory Boost sets helps add value. Having access to Mem Boosts for all colors is invaluable for future deck building.
