What are Pons?

[Hawk]

What are Pons? How does one get these said 'currency' and why is there absolutely nothing that discusses these things anywhere I looked? I've tried the Mabi forums, Google, Ask Jeeves..and even..bing, as much as it hurts..

Like this picture, I wish to rebirth and change my look. I want to have some 'premium' hair and face, just an overall new look in general. Can somebody PLEASE help me on this? It's really driving me insane here.

Pons are basically a form of currency use for access to the style tab, certain items for the homestead, rebirthing as an ace talent, and getting hair/eyes/etc that are premium.

You can obtain pons through the game's store - iirc 10 Pons are 1000 NX. There has been the occasional event that's given away pons - the most recent was an attendance event two-ish months ago, where if you logged in for x days you got 25 pons.

But you see here, when I try to click the button that says 'purchase pons', I get what you see in my screen shot. Any other way to buy pons?

Yes, the 35 day Attendance Check Event gave you goodies for every 3 days you logged in including 25 pon for logging in 21 days.

Don't know why the browser popup failed for you, perhaps an ad blocker stopped it? Another way to buy them is through the web shop on mabinogi.nexon.net, pons cost 10 for 1000 NX ($1), 50 for 4700 NX ($4.70), and 100 for 9000 NX ($9).

Ah, in that case you'll probably want to do it directly from the website and not in-game (uses internet explorer, which we all know has issues).

Where in the site does it say where I can turn my NX into Pons? cuz I wasted like 40 bucks for NX on this damn game just to try to get the damn elusive currency

Actually, right after I made my previous post..I found it. I swear I checked it and never found it, looking everywhere for it.

*facepalm* I need to stop playing this game of something, this stresses me out too much. Thanks for letting me know more about Pons though guys.
