Independence Day Convoy Event Starts 6/29!

Winz's Note: HI-HO SILVER, AWAY!

(You'll want to blacklist and minimize people for this event if you're on a crowded ch... And maybe ctrl+n too. Changing your chat tab to anything but ALL could also help alleviate lag during the event.)

Nothing swells national pride more than a common cause. Something to fight for, something to protect. Starting on June 29th, a special caravan departing from North Eastern Maiz Prairie will need YOUR protection!

When logging into Mabinogi on June 29th, you will receive a quest asking you to visit Maiz prairie in Iria. A waxen wing of the goddess will be provided so that you can quickly get to your destination. Talk to Castellon near the Mana Tunnel in North Eastern Maiz Prairie to complete the initial quest. After this quest is completed, you will receive three additional quests. These quests will ask you to support a caravan that departs from the Mana Tunnel at every 50 minute mark of each odd hour (1:50, 3:50, 5:50, 7:50) in real time.

Your primary mission is to escort this Independence Caravan through Maiz Prairie. Unfortunately, the Maiz Prairie is somewhat of a dangerous place this time of year. Monsters not of the region are attacking travelers with no provocation. It is your responsibility to look after the well-being of the caravan. If you can make it to the end of the road, you will receive Convoy Vouchers which are rewarded for ensuring the safety of the caravan and its supplies.

Be on the lookout for special monsters during your travels. Special event versions of Prairie Dragons, Ifrits, and Demi Liches will arrive and attempt to steal the goods you are charged with protecting.

You may cash in ten Convoy Vouchers for your payment with Castellon. For your troubles, he will reward you with an Independence Day Reward Box that will provide a piece of armor.

If you manage to escort a Convoy without losing a single wagon, you will be rewarded with a Special Convoy Voucher - only one of these is needed to receive Castellon's Independence Day Reward Box.

Take friends. You'll need them, and they'll need you. Let your national pride soar, and band together to protect the Independence Day Convoy!
