Ranked Character Guide for Mabinogi
Mabinogi: The price of a standard Conquest Point item climbs from 1000 CP for rank 1 item up to 56000 CP for rank 10 items. A higher ranked character can always purchase items from lower ranks; someone at rank 10 has access to all the items available from their nation guards, when their nation is in first place. Note that rank 10 CP items are a bit different from the rest: there is a staff available only at rank 10 that costs just 5000 CP, and rank 10 CP items can only be purchased from guards at a characters home city, not from the guards in Jeuno. Because of the increasing price of CP items, it is a good idea to see how much Mabinogi Gold you will want for higher level equipment, before spending it all on lower rank items or scrolls.
