Start a Water Balloon fight on 6/15!

Winz's Note: Remember those old Capture the Flag events in the past? Here's another one, but w/ water balloons this time.

With school starting to let out, the heat and humidity are becoming more and more apparent. Cool off with nature’s most abundant cooling substance: water! As with all competitive games in Mabinogi, Lorna and Pan are sure to be seen nearby. The Water Balloon Event takes place in Sliab Cuilin, so head over and join a team!

Upon arriving in Sliab Cuilin, speak to Lorna to join the red team or Pan to join the blue team. Team recruitment begins at the top of each hour and lasts ten minutes in real-world time. Once team recruitment has ended, let the water fight begin!

Teams will then rush towards buckets filled with water balloons, which are used to soak opposing team members or taking out one of the various gigantic balloons surrounding the play area. Points are awarded by an individual basis and by a team basis, but be warned: the game is decided by team points. A quick break down of how a player can receive points: hitting another player with a balloon, knocking out another player, hitting a gigantic balloon, and popping a gigantic balloon. Don’t worry about HP levels for the water balloon event – it is normalized so that the game isn’t skewed in fairness. Team points are awarded solely on the basis of gigantic balloons popped. Team gigantic balloons are worth 40 points and the neutral gigantic balloon is worth 60 points.

A game will draw to a conclusion either when the twenty-minute game expires or a team reaches 120 team points. If the game clock counts down and no team has reached 120 points, then the game will be decided in favor of the team with the highest single individual score.

If your team is victorious, you will be rewarded with The Summer Reveler title, which grants 5 Dex, 5 Str, and 10 Max Stamina.

School is out! It’s time to run outside and start a water fight! The Water Balloon Event will run from 6/15 ~ 6/21.

Just wanted to say, thick robes instead of swimsuits, i guess that gives you 100% protection from the heat.

lol, Red.
I really like the idea of this event~ Except it's too hard to destroy a balloon...
And for balloons, they have such high wound x.x Must be laden with knives or something...

Death balloons! D: Way to make something awesome dangerous.

I liked the event except for getting attacked by the other team; too laggy to do anything once that happens and then I just die over and over again. ^.^
