This article contains contents that are not official. The following information has not been officially released by Nexon America and is original work of an author or authors. Please use the discussion page for suggestions on improvements.

This article contains spoilers. If you do not wish to read further, please return to the home page.

A

Ability Points: Points that allow for the ranking/leveling of skills. You gain Ability Points as you age or when you gain a level. Usually abbreviated as AP by players.

Advanced: When referring to dungeons, it is the advanced version of the dungeon. Ex: Ciar Advanced or Alby Advanced. When referring to magic spells, formerly referred to Fireball, Ice Spear, or Thunder. These were reclassified as "intermediate" magic spells, with the new advanced tier including Hailstorm and Meteor Strike. Blaze is generally not a part of either categorization. When referring to part-time jobs, it is the group of most difficult tasks offered by an NPC. Usually abbreviated as "adv" by players. Ex: Ciar Adv, Alby Adv; "What adv spells do you have?"

Aengus: Aengus is one of the Lower-Tier Gods of love.

Aggro: The state in which an enemy is both aware of a player and attacking them, indicated by two large exclamation points above the enemy's head. A player who is being attacked by an enemy is said to have "aggro." Attacking an enemy to get its attention is considered to be "aggroing" it

Alexina: 1. A human female character who is the expedition leader of the Qilla Base Camp, in the Rano region on the Iria continent. Go to her NPC page for further details. 2. The name of a game server used to play Mabinogi in North America.

Area of Effect: Abbreviated AoE, usually refers to a skill or move's ability to have an effect within an area rather than a single point, which can then allows multiple targets to be affected instead of just a single target.

Aton Cimeni (The Great): The omnipotent entity in the henotheistic religion of Erinn, believed to be the creator and overseer of Erinn. He used the Caliburn to create Erinn, and bestowed it to the Partholons.

B

Bank Transaction Fee: When purchasing an item that costs over 50,000 g, from an NPC or another player, the money can be taken directly out of a bank account instead of having all of the gold placed in a player's inventory. However, to do this, a small amount of sales tax must be paid and this is known as the Bank Transaction Fee (or shortened to Bank Trans. Fee). The Bank Transaction Fee is 5% of the purchase price, which is added to the total cost of the item before the purchase is made. Similarly, when selling an expensive item (over 50,000 g) to an NPC then the payment can be chosen to be directly deposited into a player's bank account instead of going into their inventory. This will also incur a Bank Transaction Fee but at 10% of the selling price, which is deducted from the payment before it is deposited into a player's bank account.

Bangor: A mining town on the south of the Uladh continent. It is the home of Barri Dungeon, a location that is very important in several Generation quests.

While sitting with others right click the food you want to eat/share and click eat/use, a small window will come up with "Yes", "No", "Cancel" buttons to choose from. If you do not wish to share the food and eat it yourself, click "No", if you wish to do nothing with the food click "Cancel", and finally to share with others click "Yes." Another window will appear if you click "Yes", this will allow you to put in a note/message to all the people around the campfire when they receive the food. When other members receive the food they will get the note whether or not they choose to actually eat the food. If the shared food had a stat-changing effect, it will be halved regardless of the number of people the food is shared among.

Cash Item: Items that are purchased from the Item Shop.

Cash on Demand: When sending items through the mail, players are able to request a monetary compensation in order to obtain the item. When advertising sales over party chats, players sometimes add "cash on demand" at the end of their request, abbreviated as "COD."

It will move you directly to Iria or Belfast; in Iria, humans will move to Qilla Base Camp, elves will move to Filia, and giants move to Vales. If you are in Iria and use CW, you will instead move to Dunbarton (if your character has never been to Dunbarton, he/she will be moved to Tir Chonaill instead.) When moving, you will also forcefully bring with you any party mates who are riding your pet. You may only move twice a day; the timer resets at noon and midnight. Usually abbreviated as CW or "warp" by players. Using Continent Warp in Avon will move players to Iria. If a player has visited Bangor but not Dunbarton, they will continent warp to Bangor instead.

Current Offer: Current Offer is usually abbreviated to 'c/o'. Current Offer usually refers to an item being sold by a player and has someone already bidding on the item at a certain price but the player wants to see if another player wants to buy it at an even higher price. An example would be: Player A is selling a Japanese One-Handed Sword for 2 M gold. Player B would like to buy Player A's sword and asks what the current offer (c/o) is. Player A tells Player B that the sword is 2 M gold. Player B decides to buy or bid on the sword with a higher price of 2.5 M gold.

D

Deadly: The state of your character having a skull below his or her health bar. Achieved by having over 50% HP when hit by a single blow that would otherwise kill the player, or at random (chance determined by Will stat) when the character runs out of HP while below 50%. It is the same as your health being in the negatives, except that you're still alive. The negative health that you have in this state is unknown unless you know exactly how much you were hit by. The higher your willpower (Will) the more likely you will be given this 'second chance'. You can recover from this state by resting, using potions, or being healed, but your health does not start recovering at 0; instead it will recover starting at the negative health. The extent of the negative health in this status is equal to the maximum of your current HP (I.E If you have 215 health and take a 500 damage hit, you'll still go down to only negative 215 health as opposed to dropping to 275, the extra damage is simply negated). No matter how hard the hit is, your health will not drop below that threshold despite it seeming like a larger drop into the negatives than it actually is.

Demi-god: A type of transformation introduced in G10 and is activated by the skill Awakening of Light. It is available to all players who complete the G10 storyline, and can be used by all races. It can also be used in conjunction with the race specific transformations, or on its own.

Neamhain in G10, Cichol in G11, and Morrighan in G12 all provide specific skills that the player can use while they have Awakening of Light active.

DoT: An acronym that stands for Damage over Time. It refers to the loss of hp effect of some abilities and items such as Mirage Missile, Poison Bottle, or Poison Potion.

Durability: How long your equipment will last before breaking. Usually abbreviated as "dura" by players. Worn equipment such as clothing and weapons (except sheathed) will lose durability over time. An item can lose durability before the durability display shows any changes. An item that has lost a portion of its durability (displayed or otherwise) will have a slightly reduced resell value (this can be checked by recording the resell value of a weapon, use it a few times, and then check the resell value again, especially if the durability has not decreased on the stats screen).

Fomorian: Fomorians, also known as Fomors, The opposing race that is in conflict with the Humans on Erinn. Some monsters are Fomors and most other monsters on the Uladh continent are controlled by Fomors, which makes them more aggressive towards players. On the Iria continent the monsters that are not Fomors, are not controlled by them though they are naturally aggressive. However, there are also a few NPCs that are Fomors, some of which side with Humans or are neutral. Most of the Fomors that are against Humans believe that they are governed by the god Cichol.

H

Hitbox: Hitbox refers to the actual size of a monster in which one can target. Most skills that uses distance, such as Assault Slash, aims for the center of the hitbox (some skills like Windmill are exceptions to this), while all non-distance-based attacks, such as Smash, can hit the "edge" of the hitbox. The creature's hitbox also increases the range of its non-distance-based attacks. Generally, large monsters such as Giant Spiders have large hitbox sizes, while smaller monsters such as Imps have smaller hitboxes, though this is not always true.

Mana is replenished by waiting (faster when Eweca and Ladeca is up), while meditating, standing near an active Mana Tunnel or drinking MP potions. The light blue part represents mana that is ready to be used, and the dark blue part represents mana that can be recharged. Usually referred to as MP (mana points) by players.

Mana Tunnel: Also called sungates, these are Iria's version of Uladh's Moongates, and are open all day and night.

NX: 1. A web currency that is the equivalent of real world money but is restricted to Nexon's website and games (formerly called Nexon Cash). It's not Mabinogi's in-game currency.

Palala: The name of the sun in Erinn, and the source of Erg in all of Erinn.

Part-time Jobs: When asked about jobs, an NPC may give the player a job to perform for money, item, and/or experience rewards. Completing these jobs is a good way to become friends with an NPC. Usually abbreviated as PTJ by players.

Partholonian: Partholonians are the earliest known clan of Humans on the Uladh continent and the ancestors of Tuatha de Dananns. They were wiped out by a plague brought on by Cichol.

Premium Shop: This shop is only available on the Mabinogi website and sells premium services, character cards and pet cards (there is a button on the in-game System Menu to go directly to the Premium Shop web page). Note that these products require NX to be bought and are not available from the in-game Item Shop or NPCs.

Proficiency: Over time this builds up when the item is used. For example, weapons earn proficiency when it is used against a monster of weak level or higher, while armors earn proficiency when simply worn or the character wearing the armor is hit by a monster. These points are used to permanently upgrade the item. The speed at which an item builds proficiency goes up as the character gets older. A weapon can increase 4.3% proficiency per use/hit at max (Age 25+ on Thursdays). Usually called "prof" by players.

Props: Is the term used on this wiki to describe inanimate objects that can be interacted with, usually by gathering from them to harvest materials or hitting them to make items drop. However, a few props use different methods of interaction, e.g., Mailboxes, Party Boards, etc. Props can include living things such as trees and bushes but basically nothing that is animated (including plant monsters, which really should be considered magical rather than just vegetation).

R

Rank: The level of a skill, for example, Rank 5 Smash or Potion Making rank E. Usually abbreviated as either RX or rX, where "R" or "r" represents the word "rank" and "X" is the actual rank of the skill being referenced (e.g., R5 Smash or Potion Making rE). Ranks ascend through the letter ranks (F->A) before going through the number ranks (A->9, 9->1). Note that, the actual rank is given as either a single digit or a single, capital letter. When referring to the rank of a production skill used to acquire an item, it usually means the minimum required skill level needed to acquire that item. Be aware that some production skills allow you to attempt certain items that are just a few ranks above your current rank, albeit at a lower percentage chance of success.

Redire: Redire was a Paladin who supposedly knew Lugh. In actuality, Redire is Price, the wandering merchant, who hopes to take revenge on Esras who had tricked him into causing the Tragedy of Emain Macha.

Resell/Resell Value: Neither term is used in-game but, on this wiki, both are used for the fixed amount an NPC pays for an item sold to them by a player. The resell value is not used for the fluctuating price obtained by selling an item to another player's Personal Shop. Where applicable, the resell values quoted on the wiki are for items that have their maximum total durability/uses, have never been repaired and have never been equipped or used. If an item can be stacked then obtain a resell value for a single unit, rounded off to 2 decimal places if the price is not a whole number. Note that NPCs truncate resell values to the nearest whole number rather than rounding off. For example, a single unit that should be 2.75 g will be truncated down to 2 g, for 2 units it will be 5 g instead of 5.5 g, for 3 units it will be 8 g instead of 8.25 g, for 4 units it will be the correct value of 11 g and so on. Therefore, it may be better to obtain a single unit price by dividing the price of a large stack by the number of items it contains rather than selling a single unit to an NPC. Also, some NPCs do not have a shop and therefore cannot buy an item from a player. With some exceptions, most items have a resell value (rounded up) equivalent to 10% of their shop purchase price when in perfect condition.

Ruairi: 1. A human male character who only appears in the mainstream story, where he can be role-played. Go to his NPC page for further details but be warned that they will contain spoilers. 2. The name of a game server used to play Mabinogi in North America.

If splash damage makes contact with a monster with Counterattack, it will activate as well. Not to be confused with Area of Effect.

Splash Radius: The radius of a splash attack.

Spirit Incarnation: When a Spirit Weapon is satisfied with the care it has received from its master (i.e. Social Level 21), it can materialize for a devastating attack on enemies.

Spirit Weapon: A weapon imbued with a soul or spirit. Eiry, the beginner's sword, is an example of a spirit weapon. A player may make a weapon into a spirit weapon, which requires regular care and attention, much like a child.

Tuatha de Danann: Tuatha de Dananns refers to Humans, Elves, and Giants that are native to Erinn. Human, Elf, and Giant players are known as Milletians, meaning "from the stars." Most NPCs on the Uladh and Iria continent appear to be Tuatha de Dananns. All Humans, Elves, and Giants native to Erinn are considered Tuatha de Danann. Most Tuatha de Dananns are the descendants of the earlier Partholon clan which lived in northern Uladh. Note that, some in-game books use other spellings of Tuatha de Danann, such as, Tuatha Dé Danann, Tuatha de Danaan and Tuatha de Denaan. Tuatha Dé Danann appears to be the correct spelling for the real-world Irish mythology, according to searches on Google and Wikipedia, but Nexon predominately uses Tuatha de Danann in-game.
