Game Overview
Mabinogi is an MMORPG online role-playing game released by Nexon, and developed by devCAT studio.
Mabinogi's gameplay is like most other MMORPGs. It does, however, offer some options uncommon to most games. Players are not limited by any class , but are instead free to level up any of the different skills available. The combination of skill choice, age, items and other variables such as user title and physical constitution is what indeed makes up the character. Players can also use facial expressions as emotes to enhance the way they communicate with others. Different activities and mini-games can be enjoyed by the players, such as herding, applying for a part-time job, fishing or simply sitting around a campfire, playing music, having a friendly chat, and sharing food
Mabinogi Character creation and development
Mabinogi Characters are created by using Character Cards. There are two kinds of cards, basic and premium. Premium cards give the player a wider variety of hairstyles, eye and mouth shapes and also come with more elaborate clothes than the basic type. Players can also choose from three available races: human, elf and giant. When creating a character, one may choose an age between 10 and 17 years-old. The character will advance one year in age every (real) Saturday. Different ages yield different initial stats and affect the amount of stats raised when leveling up.
Rebirthing is one important factor of the game. Unused Character Cards can be purchased to rebirth existing characters instead of creating new ones. Rebirthing allows the player to change the character's age, gender, appearance, and reset the character's level back to 1 while keeping all previously learned skills. When a character reaches the age of 25, aging will not be rewarded with Ability Points and leveling-up gradually becomes more difficult as the character's level becomes higher. Since all skills require a great amount of Ability Points at a higher rank, there's a limit to character development if players don't take advantage of rebirthing.
While engaging in most activities, the player must keep an eye on the three major status bars: health, mana and stamina. When health reaches zero the player dies, while mana is used for magic skills. Stamina is important because without it tasks cannot be performed. The player may use the rest skill, use stamina potions or eat food to recover stamina. In addition to stamina, The character can also get hungry, which prevents stamina recovery.
The player's eating habits will affect the character's build, eating certain foods in large quantities will increase their weight which can change their stats. Eating berries has a slimming effect, gradually reducing the character's weight. These transformations happen over time, so the player may watch how the character's body changes.
Each (real world) day of the week grants players specific bonuses, such as getting a higher experience rate for certain skills, higher item creation success, aging, gaining AP, etc. Players can take advantage of these bonuses to quickly advance their character builds.
Mabinogi Character Skills
Each character can develop a large number of skills, although some can only be learned if the character is of a certain race (Human, Elf, Giant). Skills are divided into three categories: Combat, Magic and Life. Combat refers to melee and ranged attack skills, as well as defensive moves. Magic comprises three kinds of elemental magic (fire, ice and lightning) and non-elemental magic, such as healing and recovery skills. Life refers to crafting and performing skills, such as fishing, cooking, composing, tailoring, smithing or potion making. Some of the Life skills available are also mini-games.

Paladin and Dark Knight Skills
Players can acquire special Paladin skills, which allow their character to transform into a Paladin and use power-up skills, after completing the Generation 2 mainstream plots. They can also convert their Paladin to a Dark Knight by solving the quests available in Generation 3, Chapter 4. Dark Knights and Paladins strongly oppose each other. Dark Knights have an additional skill, not available to Paladins, which gives them the ability to control monsters. The player can only transform into a Paladin or a Dark Knight once a day (in-game time).
Mabinogi Dungeons
There are several dungeons in Mabinogi. When a player enters a dungeon, they will find a lobby with a statue of a goddess, and a platform before it. A separate dungeon instance is created for every unique type of item thrown on the platform (this way, the dungeon maps are randomized).
Dungeons maps consist of rooms and corridors of the same size connected to each other. Along the way, the player will encounter chests or other devices which will, if opened or activated, summon monsters that must be defeated in order to progress in the dungeon path (keys that unlock dungeon doors must also be found this way). At the end of each dungeon, there is a room four times as large as the regular ones, dubbed the "boss room", which will usually have the boss enemy of the dungeon (sometimes escorted by a number of other enemies).
Once the boss and its minions are defeated, a small room is opened, inside of which there will be several treasure chests and a statue of the goddess to allow players to warp back to the entrance. The number of treasure chests inside the treasury will be equal to the number of characters in the dungeon (at the time of opening the door). Players can thus explore the dungeons in teams.
