Hot Air Balloon Event Starts 6/8/2011!

Winz's Note: Sorry for the delay in news updates. Stuff happened. And since the current 2 events will be done by the 7th, figured I'd just skip them for now and post up the upcoming event.

In this one, you basically launch mini hot-air balloons and get a coupon in return. You can only do so at 9am, 12pm and 3pm IN MABI. Exchange the coupons for cotton candy which give you stat buffs. No word on what real prizes we'll get, but will update as it comes along.

UPDATE: Hey look, Wiki's got a list of prizes going. And I see some Hebona Gloves. I hope that means more Hebona stuff.

What is Santa Claus doing dropping gifts six months early?! Why, it's not Santa, it's the Hot Air Balloon Event! The Hot Air Balloon Event begins on June 8th and will conclude on June 21st.

Every day at 9am, 12pm, and 3pm in Mabinogi time, lofty Hot Air Balloons will begin dropping care packages to all the people of Erinn. This event occurs at Hot Air Balloon festival grounds, northeast of Qilla Base Camp. Packages will be dropped near the event grounds.

While waiting for the packages to drop, chat with a few of the NPCs around the festival grounds. They sell party favors that include dice, confetti poppers, mini hot air balloon kits, and more! So hang out and chat with friends while you wait for the next drop!

When launching your own mini hot air balloon, you will receive a Hot Air Balloon coupon. Collect 10 coupons to receive a cotton candy. After eating cotton candy, you can get an assortment of different buffs!

As for the actual gifts that come from Hot Air Balloons, you'll just have to wait and see!

The official announcement can be found here.

So far I've only gotten balloon kits.

Nexon, you better not be on roll of screw-ups ><

While I could care less for the event and its prizes, I just want what wasn't broken the first time fixed this time (ie- party board).

On the other hand, Wiki says you can get HEBONA GLOVES from this, as well as other goodies.
