Dunbarton Adventurer's Association, May 21, 2010
Greetings Mabinogians!
Welcome to this issue of Erinn Weekly, the bulletin for the Dunbarton Adventurer's Association. Our goal is to help you get the most out of your fantasy life. This week, it's the darkness before the coming of the Light. Eweca, Erinn's moon is doing some funny things to the local wildlife that it might be good to investigate. This is also the week that some small wonders arrived in Erinn -- the mini pets. You're definitely going to want to get your hands on one of these little cuties! We also asked your fellow adventurers what they thought about minipets and their answers might surprise you! Finally, there are some great bargains in the Erinn Marketplace that you'll want to get your hands on. Check out everything that happened this week in Erinn and always remember: "Do not meddle in the affairs of Fomors, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup."
Headlines
Eweca's Pale Luster
Something strange is happening under the pale light of Eweca. It's moving closer to Erinn in its orbit and strange things are starting to happen to Erinn's wildlife. There's great danger under the night sky, but there's also great opportunity as the beasts grow.
Go hunting!

Question of the Week
What do you think of the mini pets?
This week saw the arrival of the mini pets in Erinn and boy oh boy did they make a splash! They were an instant hit and everybody's fallen instantly in love with the cute little dog with a flowered collar, the kitty with the goggles and the skeleton in a maid costume. Some were disappointed that mini pets don't fight in combat and don't have all the utility of a regular pet, but most felt that this was a fair trade-off for the mini pets' low cost. The one thing everyone seems to agree on though, is the mini pets are adorable and incredibly fun to own and play with.
"Dogs have owners, cats have staff." -- Anonymous, Erinn philosopher
Let’s see what some of your fellow Mabinogians had to say:
"Well, although mini-pets don't fight and they're not permanent, they are useful in three completely different ways. First, you have their overall cuteness, which is...very cute. Second, you have their talent of not being seen by the enemies that come around, which allows you to have them with you in battle. Last, is their companion bonus, which will help you battle while they are with you. In many cases, having a mini-pet overcomes a regular pet, especially in their low NX cost. I will love them!" – Anthony B.
"Personally, I think this is genius. A pet that stays by your side, and doesn't get in the way of fighting, take your aggro away, pure genius.No one likes it when you are in the middle of a dungeon and someone's pet aggros your target, causing the monster to kill the pet, and then you before u can respond with a defensive move. It's worse with the gorgons and crag cows. Way to go Nexon for coming up with these pets. OH and that cat's goggle cap.....so cute" – Steve D.
"Honestly, I almost had a heart attack when I saw that precious little skeleton. I already bought one for 30 days with what little NX I had. I tried to buy Production Gachapons to get the permanent one! I'd love to run around in my Maid dress with a little matching skeleton! I love them!" – Rachel H.
