Fire up your competitive spirit and head to the boat docks for the return of Dragon Boat Racing, then decompress with some cosplay in the Romeo and Juliet Costume Extravaganza. Finally, check out the Question of the Week to see your fellow Mabinogians' in-game superstitions! Stick with Erinn Weekly for all the details of the week's events.

Romeo and Juliet is here!
Have you had a chance to check it out? Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, has come to Mabinogi. Check out the great features included in this update, from the Lance weapon to the Homestead to the Fire Horses!
'Tis the East...
Last Chance to Blaze Trails with Fire Horses!
Are you looking to bring fiery justice to those who would threaten Erinn? You will with a Sunburst Shire, Nightshade Mustang, or Ethereal Mist War Horse! When summoned, the horse will appear in a flaming fury; then, blast your enemies with the Flame Dive, store more in its large inventory, and get where you're going faster with the Running Boost. These horses will be on sale through May 17th.
Burn baby, burn!
Events
Heave ho! Make that Dragon Boat go!
Gather up to eight friends and head to the boat docks in Courcle for the return of Dragon Boat Racing! Vie against other Dragon Boat rowing teams in a race to see who can get down the river the fastest. If your crew can finish the race within 8 minutes, each member of your party will be rewarded with a prize! The Dragon Boat racing event will run through May 24th.
"Square on the ready!"
Final week: The Romeo and Juliet Costume Extravaganza!
With the arrival of Romeo and Juliet, it’s obvious that love is in the air. And in Mabinogi, the love of fashion is something that cannot be denied! Dress your in-game character like a character from Romeo and Juliet and enter your screenshot for a chance to win a Basic Character card! Hurry, this cosplay only runs through May 20th.

Question of the Week
Mabinogians, It’s time for the Question of the Week! Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and superstition is on the rise! Do you have any superstitions that you follow while playing Mabinogi? Wear a lucky hat before entering dungeons? Turn around three times before mounting your pet?
I have only one superstition. I touch all the bases when I hit a home run. - Babe Ruth
Here's what some of your fellow Mabinogians had to say:
I have a neon pink Sweet Pea enchanted ankh accessory that I wear when I enter something a little too hard for my character! My two best friends have similar ones, and we all wear them when we're a little nervous about a dungeon. - Alex C.
I have a superstition. I always hide names, return all pets, close all windows open in mabinogi and hide the skills and menu bar at the top and bottom of the screen before going to a heavy populated area. another superstition is that i don't enter dungeons, sm's or tm's without exactly 45 or 47 feathers. - Tremayne M.
I feel silly admitting this, but I do have a superstition. I have a bear that is my good luck charm. Before I dye anything, before I send in an offer to someone for an item I wish to obtain, and before I bid on a house I always summon him and view his status. It's a bit odd, but the one time I didn't do it I did not get the color I wanted from the dye amp. So I have stuck to summoning my bear and making sure he is doing alright stamina wise before I do anything. - Dylan E.
