Everybody loves Nexon! Always hard at work to ensure their players can have the most fun as possible, always patching up their games and adding new and better content with each update... Never an out of date game, with Nexon. This time Nexon has released new content for Mabinogi: Ancient Secrets of Indird.

‘Ancient Secrets of Irinid’ update brings slew of new features to
“fantasy life” MMO including flying mounts and new Amazon-themed
location



Nexon America has announced the release of a new content update for
Mabinogi, its massively multiplayer online role playing game, adding
number of never-before-seen features to the game including flying
mounts, a new jungle zone and a set of new skills.



The update, titled “The Ancient Secrets of Irinid,” includes a flying
mount for the first time in the history of Mabinogi. The first mount,
available through July 23, is the beautiful Thunderbird. There will be
other flying mounts offered to players in the coming weeks. The
Thunderbird and other flying mounts will offer a great new way to
travel throughout the game’s two continents and assist players during
ground battles.



The flying mounts deliver great assistance navigating the game’s new
zone, Courcle. This new land is filled with wild, untamed areas -
including lush jungles, boggy swamps, grassy savannahs, and roaring
rivers. Travelers must look out for a variety of deadly enemies,
monsters, and animals - including elephants, and hyenas. Two new boss
monsters, an enormous giant alligator and regal lion occupy Courcle
and require supreme efforts to defeat.



“The Ancient Secrets of Irinid expansion literally offers Mabinogi
players a new way to experience the game with the flying mounts,” said
Min Kim, Nexon America’s vice president of marketing. “Flying mounts
and the new land mass add many more opportunities for adventure and
fun in Mabinogi. Players have new offensive and defensive skills which
they’ll need in order to defeat the boss monsters and beasts in the
new zone. In addition, the new metallurgy and refining skills
illustrate the depth of gameplay provided by Mabinogi.”



The Ancient Secrets of Irinid offers additional features for new and
old players. Players will discover the value in honing a new
metallurgy skill in Courcle. A new river rafting feature puts up to
eight people on a raft, for what could be a peaceful journey or may
require fighting enemies off while traveling through Courcle. Mabinogi
has also added two skills to help adventurers under attack with the
“charge” skill, which allows players to rush an opponent, and the
“magic shield” skill, which allows players to protect themselves and
their party from assaults with attack-specific protective bubbles.



The new content is currently available for free. For more information
