A new storyline, a new skillset, a new zone and new Shadow Missions are
coming to Mabinogi, the free-to-play MMOG from
Nexon. Set in a fantasy realm, Mabinogi
is a second generation MMOG that contains all the typical features one
would expect in a subscription based game. The Alchemist Update further
enhances the game world and looks to bring it to new heights. To help
you get acquainted with the game and the update, we have a brand new
video that showcases the newest update.
From the official announcement:
America today released the latest content update for its fantasy
massively multiplayer online game, Mabinogi, called, Alchemist. The
Alchemist update brings science and magic together and introduces a new
storyline to the game, a new skill set, a new zone and new Shadow
Missions.
The Alchemist storyline will take players on a new type of
adventure, teaching them a new skill set including Life Drain, Water
Cannon, Wind Blast, Ice Mine, Barrier Spikes and Summon Golem. As
players progress through the Alchemist story, they begin to learn these
new skills, using science to create elements they need, and magic to
develop new skills.
Life Drain is especially helpful when battling enemies, giving players
more hit points as they drain the enemys life. Water Cannon and Wind
Blast are great close-range attacks that help players distance
themselves from their enemies. This gives players time to plan their
next attack or to get away. Ice Mine enables players to trap their
opponents by freezing them, while Barrier Spikes immobilize enemies by
keeping them away. Summon Golem is another Alchemist skill that gives
players an edge by giving them the ability to summon and control a
powerful golem.
Taillteann, the new zone added to the world of Mabinogi, will have many
of the usual components of towns, but will also have the Alchemists
House to visit and explore. Here, players can improve their Alchemy
skills by practicing and learning things they cant learn anywhere
else. Just northwest of Taillteann, players will find Stonehenge, the
entrance to the Shadow World and access point to Shadow Missions.
Shadow Missions can be obtained by visiting the mission board at
Taillteann Headquarters and then entering the Shadow Realm at the
Stonehenge entrance. These party quests take place in dungeons and have
several objectives that players can choose from, fitting with their
individual play style. Players can team up with friends or recruit
other adventurers and complete these missions for hefty rewards of EXP
and gold.
