Greetings Mabinogians!
It's been a colorful week here in Erinn. There's a rainbow of fixed dye colors going on sale and we fully expect Mabinogians to take advantage of it and bring a low more color and beauty to the world of Erinn. Speaking of beauty, that's the topic of our Question of the Week. We wanted to know what kinds of clothes you'd like to create for your fellow Mabinogians and you'll be amazed at some of the answers we got! of course there's other things going on. You can still participate in Project RM, there are new clothes to get your hands, a new Griffin pet, a race for facebook and much, much more. Check out the breakdown of what was announced this week and remember, of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

It’s a Rainbow of Fixed Dye Colors!
TAre you ready to color your world? Starting on Wednesday, August 18th, we’ll be releasing a new special dye Gachapon in a different shade. These special Gachapon produce color dyes of one particular shade (Fixed Blue Dye Gachapon will only produce fixed dyes in shades of blue). New dyes will be released daily through Monday, August 23rd. You’ll need to act quickly, though. Each Fixed Dye Gachapon will be on sale for only two days before it’s removed from the cash shop! Be sure to check back daily as new colors are released throughout the week.
Wow! The colors!

Question of the Week
If you could create your own line of clothing in Erinn, what would it be based on and what kinds of items would you have in it?
Based on our responses to this week's question of the week, there doesn't seem to be anything Mabinogians don't want a special outfit for! There were the kinds of responses we expected. Some people would like to create clothing similar to the outfits worn by their favorite videogame, TV or anime characters. Others are looking for more utilitarians outfits with powers suitable for monster hunting. What was really surprising though was how many budding fashion designers we have in Erinn. So many people threw out wonderful ideas for entire clothing lines built around various kinds of fabrics or wanted particular period costumes. It's good to know that no matter what disasters befall Erinn, Mabinogians will be dressed for the occasion.
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." ~ Mark Twain, Erinn philosopher
"I often dream of Mabi raingear to protect me from Erinn's downpours. Cute, whimsical rain booties, raincoats and adorable umbrellas that can actually open and close would brighten anyones day!"– Simone E.
"I think I would create dresses that would fit into the time period Mabinogi takes place in, but they wouldn't look very dull or too old-fashioned. I'd want them to have more lace, maybe something like the grace shawl dress, except with an even more classic middle-aged feel. Perhaps with sleeves, more layers, and maybe even cincher corsets." – Neesha M.
"I would design my outfits based upon affordability, because new players always struggle to afford nice clothing and I think everyone deserves the chance to have a beautiful outfit even without being rich."– Anders Z.
