Mabinogi Aces: Starlet

ANNOUNCE 12/16/2013 1:44:54 PM
She’s taken Erinn by storm, lighting up venues and inspiring followers the world over. A new age of music is on the rise, and Starlet’s fabulous talents have taken center stage.

The second of the new supercharged Hero talents, these singing sensations begin as an Aspiring Maestro, Aspiring Puppeteer, and Aspiring Cleric (all titles given) and are born masters of the Song, Encore, and Fantastic Chorus special skills. Soul Stars also have access to the Hero Support System, and can gift the extra AP they earn to associated characters on that account.

Harmonious New Skills

Song

Muster all your gusto and inspire your allies acapella style! When you first start singing, you’ll need a one or two-handed microphone to have any effect, but train your vocal chords enough and you’ll free your hands for other uses. Just remember, it’s all in the diaphragm – project and even the fans in the nosebleed seats will adore you!

Encore

Send your band back on stage for one last ballad! With Encore, all allies in an area-of-effect radius will be rejuvenated, and their skills will be refreshed. Get them back out there for one last riff!

Fantastic Chorus

Settle into the swing of the action and let the music flow. Mesmerize your foes with your catchy lyrics, and sling out skills in fast succession. Activate Fantastic Chorus and belt out verse after verse before the timer runs out.

Chorus Action

It’s a social world, and when Soul Stars aren’t tearing up the countryside, they’re lighting up concert halls. Join the band despite your fumbling fingers and sing backup or lead in either practice or performance.


Fine-tune Your Skills

All Soul Star heroes experience a 2X training boost to a select set of related skills. They also begin their path with HP +10, Dexterity +10, and Stamina +10, and see a sweet progression bonus every time they level up or age so long as the Soul Star talent remains active.

    New Music Features

    Mabinogi has never been more musical, and if you’re new to the scene this is the best time to pick up an instrument and play!

    More Musicians

    Jam sessions now fully support up to eight bandmates. Enjoy all your friends' unique musical talents, whether you’re huddled up in a homestead or performing proudly for the masses. Utilize the new Chorus Action to add in back-up vocals or a sexy lead.

    More Instruments

    Wireless and Standing Microphones, Pianos, Cellos, and Violins have all come to Erinn and are helping Mabi-musicians create brand new sounds. Whatever your tonal tool of choice may be, Instrument Dye Ampoules and the all new Instrument Paint Spray allow you to tailor it to match your style. 

    More concerned about functionality than fashion? Instrument Upgrades let you swap out the bridge, improve the strings, or do whatever you need to do to get the effect you need.


    Microphones have their own set of upgrades, and Mics, Cellos, and Violins are eligible for both Gem and Artisan Upgrades.


    For more information, just talk to any of these friendly neighborhood NPCs:
    Endelyon, Walter, Lisa, Pierrick, Gilmore, Vanalen, Siobhanin, Granites, Effie, Galvin, or Zeder. 

    Everyone’s got a little rhythm in their soul, so let loose and sing from the rooftops! Worried out–of- tune noobs are going to ruin your delicate hearing? Now you can filter what open world music you hear via the Options > System > Sound menu.
