This section covers the various important opportunities the moment you create your character:

• Making a human enables you to later get a free elf and giant character cards, from each respective leaders in Iria. You are required to go to each village in Iria to contact them and get a keyword to 'ally' with them for the card. You must then 'unally' the same race in order to ally another race.
  
  
• Premium features in character creations are only possible on your first card, subsequent character cards like the free character cards are not able to use those.
  
  
• Your choice in talent after creation, affects the starting items you could get, the training classes relevant, and how your character develops for those skills until your next rebirth[wiki.mabinogiworld.com]. It is not wise to choose a talent that is not recommended as it doesn't cover many skills and you'd have to build those skills without the xp boost from your talent.

You are given training classes as a form of quest[wiki.mabinogiworld.com] for you to take, do read instructions given and complete as much quests as possible as they give you a lot of rewards and enable you to start the G1 mainstream storyline later on.

Your talent [wiki.mabinogiworld.com]influences how fast you learn from specific skills, and the skills mentioned for the training classes.

Do note there is a few things you might want to consider changing in the game option before you continue.

• First, you'd want to check the game resolution[wiki.mabinogiworld.com] and such, the hotkeys and extra functionalities.
  
• Also, in regards to combat, be sure to turn off auto-attack and load skill after targetting as it gets in the way of the free form combat by automating your skills for you (which is bad in a tight situation).

A very important database of information players must have, as it helps them out a ton, is the mabinogi wiki.

http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com

List of options I personally use:



With this the game client should be setup to optimal playing experience.
Be sure to use widescreen resolution and the latter if you haven't, avoid fullscreen if your computers have decent capabilities, as it likes to flickers when menus are used.

Be sure to increase the view distance to the maximum so you can zoom out.

It is important that new players understand that Mabinogi is a rich and complex game that can be spoiled easily if you rush, or attempt to play in a unusual style. You must not bias your gameplay in comparison to other MMOs because of the vast difference in game mechanics[wiki.mabinogiworld.com] and what it offers.

Setting up their clients and characters to recommended settings will most likely ease any issues they get from blindly entering the game, with high expectations and all.

Do note that they'll have to use the mabinogi wiki for other parts of the features, avoid badgering people on how to make gold and the likes and read up the other guides that offers suggestions on said process.
