Quiz Bomb CAPTCHA

Description

1 × 1 Stack: 20

This bomb will give another player a timed quiz! Use it on a player you suspect of botting. But beware, using these on nice people could make you a few new enemies. Try saying hello before you blast them back to the stone age!

Basic Information

The Ticking Quiz Bombs are Nexon's attempt to control illegal botting via legitimate player activity. If you encounter a player you believe to be using bots in Mabinogi, you can purchase a Ticking Quiz Bomb from any General Store.

To use a Ticking Quiz Bomb, just right-click the Bomb in your inventory and select "Use." This will initiate an unidentified skill and allow you to target other players who are actively gathering or in combat. Use the skill on the player in question. Your part is done at this point. The target player will then be taken through some form of automated scrutiny to determine if the player is a bot. It basically works like a CAPTCHA prompt.
