So has anyone actually gotten over 2 min? I managed to get 1m58s before proceeding to try and kill myself.

If so, what is the reward? The sheep trans? Because all I'm getting out of the boxes from daily are f***ing emeralds (thanks for adding those in by the way Nexon). Seriously though.... I'm a trans collector and trans is literally the only reason I play this game. Considering there are only 13 or so of the boxes you can get (13 emeralds in my case) and there are 9 sheep trans, I really hope you are guaranteed to get them for surviving 2 minutes. It'll motivate me despite its BS rng. Every time I lose it's because a wolf just stops right in my path in the middle of the arena and then I get trapped by the 50 billion other wolves and their broken hitboxes that are twice as big as the actual view model.

Also, any strats for reaching 2 min? I run in a clockwise circle about 3 meters from barrier. Oh, and if anyone is selling the sheep trans or song of despair, hit me up on Alexina (I'll also buy any other NPC trans).

    Plenty of players who did it over 4 minutes in Alexina. You can see records of other players time when asking Deian about Drool-soaked Rag and after he pretends that he doesn't know anything about it, the record window of that mini-game opens. Also i have never seen so much Bugle uses in my whole Mabinogi life lol, thanks to this event.

    If you can get 1 Minute 58 Seconds, you can get 2 Minutes. That being said, I am not sure if there is a prize for the ranking itself. Is there?

    Oh, the record was 3 min yesterday. I was wondering if any of them are on the forums though since there were only 18 over 2 min when I checked.

    I got a pink sheep trans from my first box. just keep trying. I think all you get from the wolf minigame is titles and bugles. also you only get 1 of the 4 titles so choose the one you want and stop there

    The rewards overall seem lackluster to me, but the event has many things going from it, oddly enough. A daily for those who don't want to feel committed, but a spam boss that doesn't take HOURS to show up and isn't a competition other than a lag fest, which can be solved via channel changing, alongside a rather neat little RP where you have to dodge wolves like you're in a bullet hell game like Touhou you can repeat as long as you spam the wolves, and a ranking board.

    That being said, the rewards are pretty pitiful. More like short lived novelties than anything I'd wear constantly, or things I do not use. The bugles may or may not be annoying.

    got a green sheep trans on my second box. as said, rewards aren't anything special, but the event is fun in and of itself. also, does anyone know if the skills you get in the rp are of any help? or is just running around (and hoping for the best) really the best tactic there is?

    I'm just glad nothing important is locked behind that sheep dodging mess. I want the transformations too, but it's been nohing but these worthless shiny rocks. I mean they turn into some halfway decent stuff when you synth them, but still. Worthless.

    -The wolves when moving, will attempt to move in a straight line from their spawn point to your last current position, and then from this position to your next current one. It is best to move in a circular motion. and avoid them.

    -Try to run in a circular motions.

    -When surround on two sides, don't be afraid to make a cut through the middle.

    -Avoid running too close to the edge, where the wolves spawn.

    I found the dodging minigame easier to do on a channel that has little monster A.I. lag.

    For example, on Mari Ch2, the monsters seem to react slower.
    So in the minigame when they'd finished running to the other end of the arena, they'd stand still for a variable amount of time before making another dash towards me.
    Made it harder for me to coordinate all the wolves' movements with each other.

    I just got over 2 minutes and I can confirm that all you get are the garbage bugles. You get 2 of them and they don't expire, but they're not sheep trans so don't even bother. What a waste of time, back to getting gems and hoping people actually sell the sheep.

    Ok question. Which do you all think sounds better: Waltz-with-Wolves or Wolfishly Agile? I'm really liking the Waltzes one better, but I'm curious to know what the flavor text of the Wolfishly one says. And I don't mean the stats, just what the description in the Titles choice page says.

    not terribly important, I know. Just curious. xD

    @WolfandWolf
    Here's the flavor text of Wolfishly Agile.

    Though I like the alliteration of the "Waltzes with Wolves" title more.


    What's the flavor text for the Waltzes title?

    Here's all the stats, names and required times of these titles:

    By the way, Waltzes-With-Wolves title sounds best for me :D

    Hey thank you, thank you!

    After trying, I realize that I have no earthly clue how to upload pics to the forum (I'm so sorry!). But I wrote what the flavor text for Waltzes-With-Wolves (That's exactly how the title looks in-game, all caps and with hyphens) here below:


    "A title earned by those who made the wolves work for their dinner."

    I do like the way it sounds too. I think I'm going to keep it. Since I'm not terribly interested in bugles, I don't really have any need to keep doing the dodging part.~

    other than the training seals I'm not all that interested in this event. the mini game thing is a pain and the titles I currently have are better than any that it gives, and I don't really care that much about transformations at this point.

    the rates on the sheep medals are pretty impossible tho, I got one all event.
    at least that makes it valuable? I'll probably just hoard it for a while...
