  If you're going to add the music minigame to music buff skills, I'd like to see a similar version for playing instrument when used with a magical music scroll.

  
  
  Are we talking about music scrolls with magic effects via composing or the music scrolls that are no longer able to be purchased in the game. If it's the later, then there's no point as it's an outdated content that's supposed to be dead. So no support should be added for dead unsupported content even if remnants of that items still exist from people hoarding them.
  
  A lot of unnecessary code to handle dead content that I'm sure devcat would not want to do.

  Both of which are pretty much the same system, so both.
  
  I didn't really use them that often, but did huge successes have a better effect than great successes? I know failures for some magical music scrolls actually have a negative effect. So if you just add the same minigame to playing instrument (letting you toggle it off as manual or automatic in the options window), and let the results of the minigame determine the rating of the song, then that'd pretty much work out for all of them, though I'd prefer if we reformulate them to involve MBE too.

  Realistically speaking, if devcat removed a feature from the game via not allowing you to obtain or purchase them anymore of them, they aren't going to want to factor in any changes to that.
  
  It's like asking changes to alchemy crystals that were supposed to not be used anymore and instead turned in for cash.
  
  I suppose if the changes to normal music effect was in the same area of code as the deceased musical magic scrolls they could try adding it there but if it's in two different areas of the code I wouldn't hold my breath.

  Music buff skills largely mirror the bonuses afforded through special music scrolls but I could see them pulling something like peaceful music or sharp aiming over. As for the scrolls, how about adding the following items?
  
  Score Scroll (500 uses)
  Cost: 300 Gold
  
  Handmade Score Scroll (100 uses)
  Handicraft: Rank B (30~85% success)
  Requires: Common Fabric x1
  Effect: Music Buff Effect +5, Better Performance Rate +28%
  
  Fine Score Scroll (100 uses)
  Handicraft: Rank 8 (25~65% success)
  Requires: Fine Fabric x1
  Effect: Music Buff Effect +8, Better Performance Rate +44%
  
  Finest Score Scroll (100 uses)
  Handicraft: Rank 4 (20~40% success)
  Requires: Finest Fabric x1
  Effect: Music Buff Effect +12, Better Performance Rate +60%

  just cancel auto-cancel buff effects when an instrument is not being held by the person who started the song, except for Harvest Song i guess
  
  there, music fixed.
  
  Also, the entire Renovation was based on KR player feedback, KOR.

  I guess that's the problem with playing a MMO based in Korea. We have no say in what goes in the content and can't influence it. NA sucks and isn't able to properly give us an outlet and to convey that to KR >.>
  
  Which is why Mabinogi is the last asian MMO I'll touch unless I know that the NA folks can actually influence future content.

  We don't want to punish switching out of an instrument, we want to encourage involvement and add opportunities for it. What good is forcing a player in the party to use a buff skill for 1~5 seconds until it activates, then have that person hang around doing nothing or just hitting things with an instrument and an occasional discord until the buff runs out? That sounds like a very cheap solution.

  That's not true either, Nexon KR actually asked for KR community input, but they didn't listen to anything they said. It's not enough to listen to the community, they also need to act on it.

  Probably not.
  But with how stupid imbalanced firebolt is in KR, I'm guessing they decided to make FH a melee equivalent.

  After doing alch for a while I think some stuff should be changed.
  
  [UB]Alchemy Mastery[/UB]
  Update the training requirements. Might as well put Metal Conversion in the training requirements too so they have all the transmutation skills in there.
  
  [UB]Synthesis/Fragmentation[/UB]
  Add more updated item lists to those skills, from looking at the current synth/frag lists all those items look pretty old.
  
  [UB]Transmutation[/UB]
  Change the master title so it gives something besides just crystal making success (currently it's pretty useless). I'd like to see synth/frag/metal conversion success rate up tacked on there too.
  
  [UB]Water Cannon[/UB]
  When the water orb is filled, add splash effect. Splash range appears at 50% fill and goes up again at 100% fill. Splash range based on water alchemy rank.
  
  [UB]Flame Burst[/UB]
  When fire orb is filled, increase flame burst distance and width. Effect occurs at 50% fill and increases at 100% fill. Effect based on fire alchemy rank.
  
  [UB]Wind Blast[/UB]
  When wind orb is filled, increase knockback distance on critical hit. Effect occurs at 50% fill and at 100% fill, upon critical hit will always cause gale effect regardless of your distance from the enemy. Effect based on wind alchemy.
  
  [UB]Sand Burst[/UB]
  When clay orb is filled, make enemies behave erratically the next time it aggros something. Affected enemies will load defense and counter more often instead of attacking. Effect occurs at 50% fill and duration increases at 100% fill. Effect based on clay alchemy.
  
  [UB]Summon Golem[/UB]
  At rank 1, 10% chance to randomly summon a magic golem instead of a snow golem. Master title increases golem stats by 10% and adds an extra 10% chance to summon a magic golem. When summoning a shadow golem, if that summon would have normally produced a magic golem, you get a magic shadow golem with massively increased stats, skill ranks and movement speed. Unnerf golems (give back r1 windmill and cylinder size modifier) and give golems instant skill load like players.
  
  [UB]Rain Casting[/UB]
  Add elemental wave effect where it produces a massive thunderstorm that shoves enemies around underneath the cloud. Cloud boosts affected by rank of elemental wave.
  
  [UB]Life Drain[/UB]
  Add elemental wave effect so it takes your wounding into the damage formula for extra scaling. Ele wave life drain inflicts 100% wounding for the draining and knockback portion of the skill and will also restore your wounds.
  
  [UB]Barrier Spikes[/UB]
  Upon loading barrier spikes after elemental wave, you can lay up to 6 iron walls with boosted HP and def/prot. Reflective damage from those walls inflict 100% wounding and randomly bounces back ranged attacks and bolt magic (walls still take damage).
  
  Give tower cylinders elemental wave. If you have the Vates title, you can pick up the tower cylinder and run with it in exchange for massive stamina drain (like a hand cannon).

  Only problem I see with this update is that Rapiers obtained prior to the update can't be nerfed too, only newly obtained Rapiers after the update can have their damages lowered (like how the Genesis update lowered/increased the damage of some instruments but was able to effect already existing instruments).
  
  Though I'm not sure if the same also applies with upgrades, like Rapiers obtained before this update could still be upgraded or not. Was there any update in mabi that made previously un-upgradable weapons or weapon types become upgradable?

  Personally, due to me wanting the item for so long, I would love to see another way to obtain Viseo's Bronze Mirror Blade. It's an item I have wanted since joining the game nearly 4 years ago and currently on Mari's market they are expensive. It may not be the best weapon in the game, but it looks pretty fun to us and play around with.
  
  OTHER THINGS: May touch more apon this later but I would to see more Magic skills and Alch skills. Something along the lines of maybe Wind Magic? (could also go into Cleric) Earth Magic/Alch. Something that based maybe on all Elements?
