  First!: All the credit goes to the dude that translated it, here's his tumblr with everything (at least) translated (regardless the quality)

  Hey guys, a guy that i know that likes to keep himself up to date found a tumblr page of a dude that translated (not so great... but at least is something) some stuff about a new update and a set of armor that will be given after the player acumulates 3k potential and you obtain 1 potential every 10 levels (dunno if you necessarily must be) past the first 1000k

  30,000 levels to get the armor? Holy mother of cheesus!
  
  Update sounds pretty neat though. It'll push people to actually run more stuff than just dailies to reach lv100.
  
  That new skill sounds very interesting. With this, we'll have the power of nature/darkness, demigod powers of neamhain?, Cichol, and Morrigan, the weapon of the gods (caliburn), the power of Aton Cimeni, and now the power of Erinn's sun.
  
  OP? OP. :blush:

  These armours look so recycled. I mean, more than everything else released in past few years.

  From what I mean... the current total levels you have won't be applied to the potential levels, so whenever you're newbie or 15k total level veteran... both have to work hard equally to get what they want. I don't think it's really fair to the veteran players but oh well, at least it's a permanent content.

  Considering the massive amount of levels required, if accurate, this is a real bummer to older players. Getting 30,000 levels is practically a lifetime goal in this game. Unless the armor grants you GM powers, it doesn't seem like it'll be content well used or striven for. It looks like something we already have and not even a unique pose? Meh. Perhaps other aspects of the potential system have value though. Perhaps the system has potential.

  Benefits apart, I'd say it's a good thing that everyone needs to grind up from zero. That encourages old players to actually play again instead of: log in > grab the armour > afk in it for a day > log out until next update.

  you're saying that like veterans will log in to grind 4 for a hobo's langu or asuna outfit for females (there are only 2 genders kappa) kek.

  I was in the process of making better translation with better photoshop than the one posted with more details I've got from various KR sources, but I haven't been able to get needed data for the new buff skill to complete it. (I have info on rewards, storage expansion and stat point system.) So let me just clear up some confusion here for now.
  
  You do not need to gain 30K level for the armor since you get bonus points for leveling higher. You need to level total of 3K if you level up to 200 each cycle, meaning you will need to rebirth minimum 15 times. The lower you level each cycle, higher rebirth count will be required.
  
  Additionally, it gives you total of 18 rebirth potions (with 7 day expiration) as part of the reward which means you only need to level up to 180 if you want to cap it as quick as possible without needing extra rebirth potions.
  
  It actually gives veteran players quite a bit of advantage since they can level higher each cycle by running higher end content with more exp. Just running couple solo rounds of AAHM gets you to 180 easily.
  
  Seeing as everything related to this system only relates to Palala, I wouldn't be surprised something similar will be implemented with Ladeca theme in the near future.

  Valentino, por favor finish that translation. I can guarantee that I'll read it fully and even comment! Please. D:
  
  17 RB potions? Mother of cheesus! Nexon is finally wising up about the massive ap requirements Mabinogi requires. Hopefully, they'll also cut down on the skill grinding.
  
  Any info on this armor? Will it make you into Jesus or something?
  
  Lastly, I'm not sure about Ladeca getting the same treatment. The prophets in g20 seem to imply Ladera is the source of unholy divine power. This could mean, it'd be the same as paladin/dark knight though.
  
  3K sounds a lot more reasonable.

  uhhhhh, that to get the armour seems a bit.. wtf will anyone even be getting them anytime soon? XD

  Alright, y'all asked for translations, and seems like people that didn't fit the job tried to do it.
  
  As for the armor, Valentino explained the 3k levels part, but there are more things y'all need to know. And you guys wanted to know what the armor is like. Well... as you can see, it's a light armor, and judging by the fact that the template doesn't even have space for Magic Defense/Protection, it's not a special armor. And no magic upgrades either. Basically it's trash. Compare the template to Languhiris Armor, as well as the upgrades.
  
  So I decided to step up and translate the thing, because it seems like no one else that is fluent in Korean wants to do it. I know the reading format is shitty because of how lazy I am and did everything with paint, but I can tell you that the translations are on point.
  
  Potential Ability Points system, Aura of Palala, Fragment of Palala and its enchants, Other rewards
  
  The first translation shown in this thread is inaccurate mostly because it's using "expression" as the word. The original word referenced is 발현, which shows expression if put into google translate. But the expression here isn't meaning what you think. It's used in terms like "gene expression", "allele expression", etc. I could have used other words instead of realization. I had revelation, unleashed, liberation, etc, basically something like this: [SPOILER="ARRRGH"]

  [/SPOILER] But I decided to go with realization, because I thought that was the most fitting with "potential"
  
  As for the enchants for the Fragment of Palala, the best option is Scorching and Afternoon, which only gives you combined total of 11 max (8 from Scorching and 3 from Afternoon). This is actually bad because by the time you get enough Realization levels, you will have had enough money to make at least Oblivion Swarming accs.

  Do these stat points break the 1500 cap, or is there absolutely no point to adding int on a mage main?
• ironwoman wrote on 2016-10-02 09:45
  It doesn't say anything about uncapping stats, so it's safe to assume stats are still capped at 1500
• Zeo wrote on 2016-10-02 12:49
  @Valentino; Oh really? Well, that is good to know and I am little relieved by this! :)

  Won't surprise me if we start seeing stats getting uncapped to 2.5k or something like that as one of the updates for Mabi soon. I am not even sure why we had the cap in first place...
