Events
Owl Event Underway!
With all the hustle and bustle going on around Erinn in preparation of the Romeo and Juliet update, Nao just doesn't have enough time to take care of her owls! When logging in to Mabinogi, you will meet Nao and she will ask you to care for her baby owls. If you agree, you get your own baby owl and some special owl feed. Each time you feed the owl, you'll get a stamp in your care journal. Complete the journal to send the owl fledgling back to Nao and receive your reward!
It's a hoot!

Wing Plate Armor Character Cards...with a Secret!
When you pick up a Wing Plate Armor Character card from the Web Shop, you'll be armored head-to-toe with a set of Wing Plate Armor! When you purchase it, you will notice an odd Secret Box in your inventory. A note attached to the box reads, "Don't open until April 27th!" There are only a few days left to get your hands on this Character Card, so get one before April 27th!
Shhh!

Renaissance Portrait Winners
Like the Renaissance itself, this contest has reached its end! We would like to thank all the wonderful artists who submitted their entries. We received so many amazing images, it was hard to narrow them down to only five, so we didn’t! Let’s congratulate all six of our lucky winners!
Well done!
Question of the Week
Mabinogians, It’s time for the Question of the Week! After seeing the Homestead announcement, what is your favorite aspect of this exciting addition to Mabinogi? What would you like to see added to Homestead?
A good home must be made, not bought. - Joyce Maynard
Here's what some of your fellow Mabingaians had to say:
You should be able to hire imprisoned imps for low wages. They could like play music to your crops and mine for you and collect herbs and that kind of thing :). - Brett L.
I would love to have a stand with the farm to sell the crops and herbs at low prices. - Lucas G.
I'm really excited about the idea of playing music for your plants. What could be cuter than dancing plants? What I would like added is something akin to a post-it board you can have on your property to leave a message for visitors and visitors could leave messages for you. I hope there are different housing styles, I would hate to build a house that looks the same as everyone else's. - Shana L.
