Stuff I have questions on:

Clothes: Fashinogis (people who care a lot about being fashionable in Mabinogi) tend to spend real life $$$ on a form of gambling called Gachapon to obtain the latest clothes released by Nexon. Naturally, you can also buy them with gold from these players, but you'll have to save up a lot.
Pets: They cost real life $$$. They're mostly used for extra storage for clothes and other junk, faster transportation in the case of mountable pets (horses, birds, etc), and to aid you in combat. On rare occasions, you can get a pet from an event.
Puppets: It's a skill set which is not very beginner friendly, from my understanding. It's quite powerful in the hands of a very high level player, though.
Rebirths: You need to rebirth your character in order to continue gathering Ability Points. You need to keep gathering lots of AP in order to level up your skills. You can grow your character fast by paying lots of real life $$$ every week, or you can rebirth your character for free once every three weeks when your character is 17 years old or older.
Pretty much anything else: Quit this game while you can!

Puppets are incredibly viable if you get the masteries and basic attacks r1 asap, good choice.

~Airylin: Yoorah pretty much covered most of it lol.
~Yoorah: - Do you believe the Eweca Orb Gachapon is worth it, or should I wait?
(Probably going to be a Fashionogi)
- I read that you can only get to certain places by mounts, does the game provide them at that point or do you need to buy one by then?
- I didn't know any better about the puppets, but I am committed so we'll see how this works out.
- How do you get new puppets? I have the wooden one and I have seen people with cute little lolita girls.
- Can you explain Rebirth a bit more, I am still a bit confused. >.<
- And I know it's gunna suck my life away. It's sort of awful because I'm a teacher and I don't really have the time to play, but I do anyways >.<
~Snowie: Thanks for the welcome!!! :hi:
~Aubog007: Could you explain mastery a bit more to me? I know that if you use a skill it goes up or something.... >.<

Since you are new suffolk i would love to help you out since we play on the same server, im normally on after work but ill love to help out. Im currently on Mayuzumi or Necrobomb if you want me show you the ropes of mabi, since your active is puppetry my stronger of my alts Mayuzumi can help with your crit and leveling on your puppet skills. Also pets are great to have but only the AOE (area of effect ones) such as clouds fire horses dragons scooters ECT! If you do spend money on this game the gachas are not worth it most of the time, you'll lose more money that you actually gain In game. its like gambling but with gaining no real life gain.
Puppets are a great way to fast clear dungeon rooms and waves of mobs but the one problem is fixing them all the time. make sure if you are going to go down you need to un-summon your puppets. If you dont the puppet will go down. Now skills you want to rank fist on puppeteer is the control Marionette OF COURSE pick your favor of the two puppets Colossus or marionette. After you finish the puppetry sidequest you want to start ranking up Act 7 Climactic crash and crisis(to rank a) these skills should make your damage output high and also help out with the generation quests. also a great idea is to keep your eye out for the nimbus pets because on summon they heal your puppet with its aoe heal.

imo, puppet is the most beginner friendly skill set. You get a lot of damage straight from base values. Plus its better than watching kiddos run around peaca abyss with lolbeamswords.

Gach can be a good way to make easy early monies, but I would personally hold off on it. The occasional limited-time special gachapons they release are better bang for your buck.
- I read that you can only get to certain places by mounts, does the game provide them at that point or do you need to buy one by then?
You can get everywhere by walking. Mounts just make everything exponentially faster. The game will provide you with one free horse and one free eagle. After that if you want more you will have to purchase them.
- I didn't know any better about the puppets, but I am committed so we'll see how this works out.
- How do you get new puppets? I have the wooden one and I have seen people with cute little lolita girls.
Some come from limited-time gachapon. Others come from the in-game 24/7 seal shop. You can obtain seals through a number of daily quests.

- Can you explain Rebirth a bit more, I am still a bit confused. >.<
Every time you hit age 20 in-game you can rebirth. Most of your power comes from ranking up your skills to get stats. You gain 1 ap every time you level. You can rebirth to reset your level back to 1. Thus making it easier to gain more AP faster and rank more skills.
- And I know it's gunna suck my life away. It's sort of awful because I'm a teacher and I don't really have the time to play, but I do anyways >.<
I'm pretty terribad at explaining things sorry.

[FONT="Arial"]I wouldn't start off with puppetry since it is a dual stat skillset (DEX and STR).
What I recommend is branching off and focusing on archery or warrior so you can build up enough dex and str for puppetry in the future. Basic combat is more important.[/FONT]

Welcome to the forums! [Image: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9rakw5Hvo1qdlkyg.gif]
When I first played Mabinogi, I felt rather overwhelmed with all the content and possibilities too.
This is a handy site to use for most of your Mabinogi-related questions as long as you know what you're searching for: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/, if you haven't already found out about it. Aside from that, feel free to ask questions on the forums as well!

~NecroBomb: Can you add friends to your friends list by just their name? If so, I'll add Mayuzumi when I go on tonight.
~Prague: A few questions,
-When do limited-time special gachapons come out? Like during holidays or something?
-Is there a website or forum that people sell items and clothes on?
-What are the daily quests in the area that you are sent in the beginning of the game? I am still really confused about locations.
-If you rebirth do you lose your main skill or can you learn like a new skill. i.e. would I lose my puppetry or when I rebirth can I learn gunnslinger or something?
~Cho: I'm still learning to navigate the forum, once I figure it all out, I'll post another ask thread.

Im on necrobomb or mayuzumi, you'll see me on necrobomb more because im leveling him up rather then my strong mayu
you can add friends by while in mabinogi press the f key and at the top left corner it will say add friend press that and type in either NecroBomb or mayuzumi and the server is mari so that should help you out

If you were on Ruairi, I'd definitely help you. XD
Well I could still help in text, of course.
Also, although this game sounds very cash-heavy, it's actually not as bad as other anime MMORPGs out there. You can obtain pretty much every necessary thing but pets with gold. Pets are affordable(in the $2 - $15 range) and considering how much they do compared to other games' pets(combat, storage, mount, etc), they're totally worth it.
Equipment isn't bound to accounts like most of the MMOs I've tried, so that's another great thing, well unless you used some enchant or something that makes it character-exclusive.
You can pretty much make any outfit you find into a "costume skin" with the style slot which is like $1.20 a month, and totally worth it if you play actively.
It is very heavy in investment, so you do need a lot of time to play. xD But it's something you can also play casually if you want to just do a few things a day. Also, you should start as a human, then you can get a free elf and giant character by talking to their respective leaders. It's definitely a game that is better to have alts all on the same account, since the bank expands for your new characters which can be shared bank space and easy storage muling. Also if you ever get VIP/premium service, it'd mean more items per day and a higher chance for getting a dye.
