Chiera:

I'll be covering a guide for weapons tomorrow with Spirit.

As for the current question, the answer is a yes/no.

There is a Spear Spell, called "ice spear" Its not really a spear at all, but its named that way so its all cool.

There is a weapon called "atlas", that can be only used by Giants. They equip a rod which holds what looks ridiculously similar to a spear, and throws it at the enemy. Its the Giant's alternative for bows, because they dont have enough dexterity to use one.

Use your imagination! I always imagined my long fishing rod was a whip, the way it makes that wind slashing sound as I hit someone with it... lol its so fun.

Oh, and my personal favorite striking animation has got to be a string instrument attack. Pow! Throws the lute in the air... BAM! Swings it like a baseball bat... ITS OUTTA THERE!! Kicks in the most incorrect non-martial-arts-style possible for a grand home run!

About that lute: it's simply a joke from the Lorna and Pan videos. And I have used one enough times for certain things that I've needed to repair and bless mine.

Giants get a "throwing spear." Besides that, there are no polearms of any type in the game. If there were, I'd want an extra long sickle. The attack animation is the meanest one out of all of them, in my opinion.

A very awesome joke at that. I can't stop flinging things with it. My combat rank is high enough to the point where I ease through Rabbie Lower Pass with my fists. Sometimes we'll have instrument battles in pvp to try to knock each other around, although it seems you can't compete with the percussion instruments when it comes to power.

Hhaahhaa. This game sounds more awesome the more I learn about it.

EDIT: 50 posts on this thread, yay~

Luxfer, I just got word that the NA version of Mabinogi will start out with a mix of patches from G1~3, and will have balance patches from the latest Generations.

From all I've been able to find out, there WILL be moongates, eman macha is open, and the starter quests will follow direct patterns of the newest Generation from KR.

Also, the archer balance patch will be put in from the very start, meaning there WONT be any cheap archers running around slaughtering everything with revolver.

Oh dear. This is big news. Where did you get your info? Regardless, I'm going to be quoting this and putting it up. This is ~huge~ news.

Great, no cheap archers running around slaughtering everything. Glad they did this before there was too big of an amount of archers.

But back on topic: do you know what specifically will be given to us?

Its nice to bump up important and useful threads, but double posting is so awful. I've been raised to kill double posts.

Also, as for the "proof", we have official snapshots from the closed beta test. Its got kid giant gold spider (a newbie quest from the most recent generation).  There are snapshots of moongates, emain macha, and it was said that the balance patches were all put it already.

I have MULTIPLE sources, but knowing you, you'll trust IGN the most? Heres a link to those snapshots.

Admins and Mods, please sticky this thread. It is a great place for newcomers to look through and would help a lot in reducing the amount of threads asking for the same questions.
