Welcome to Chapter 2, Pioneers of Iria! The simultaneous implementation of G4, G5 and G6 on NA servers means that players will be inundated with new areas to explore, new dungeons to fight through, new skills to try out, new equipment to wear, and a lot more. The known realm of Erinn will be at least quadrupled in size.

Nexon NA has released Erinn Walker, which offers some pictures and a few sentences on new content. Their next update will be on the 24th. In the meantime, I wish to talk about these content in more detail, along with other changes that might not be otherwise mentioned. My scouts Rianne, Remi, Roxelle (KR) and Rosalyn (JP) will provide screenshots from their travels in these new lands.

Please proceed keeping in mind that there might be spoilers ahead. This overview is a compilation of information acquired from JP wiki, Mabinogi World wiki, TW fansites, personal research in JP and KR test, as well as comments and advice from foreign server players. Special thanks to Serenity, Khenta and Reverie for helping with information gathering and proofreading.

Remember that Nexon NA has the final decision on implementation of content. This overview is based off the updates from G4S1 to G6S4 in JP/KR servers. I do not speak for Nexon NA nor can I read their minds.
