Among players, there’s a running joke that “there are way too many worlds that need saving.” These days, it’s pretty normal to play several games at once instead of sticking to just one.

The Nexon games I play are the same way.

For example, my routine looks something like this.

Blue Archive

When I wake up, Blue Archive is the first stop in the routine. Unless there’s special content like Total Assault, the whole daily checklist is done in about 10 minutes.

Blue Archive also gets called a “bonsai-type game” because if you log in consistently and lightly tend to it—kind of like watering a potted plant now and then—your characters keep growing little by little.

A big part of that is that most of the content can be finished as sweeps with just a few clicks.

First, I log in and pick up the attendance rewards plus the monthly pass and package mail, collect coins and AP from the cafe, and use all my schedule tickets to grab bond progress and skill materials.

I also make sure not to miss the smaller stuff: 10 AP from circle attendance, keeping manufacturing running, and buying limited shop items like credits and Elephs.

After using all my bounty and academy exchange meeting tickets, I spend the remaining AP on main and event stages, and for Tactical Challenge I just sweep through the tickets. Finally, I collect the AP and extra rewards stacked up in the mailbox, spend the leftover AP one more time, and I’m done.

Written out step by step, it looks more complicated than it really is, but once you get used to it, your hands just do it automatically.

DNF Mobile and Mabinogi Mobile

After that, I play DNF Mobile and Mabinogi Mobile at the same time.

DNF Mobile has no auto-play, so everything has to be done by hand.

The daily farming dungeons are relaxed enough that I can handle them while doing something else, but in sections that need focus—like raids or disaster dungeons—I check the Mabinogi Mobile screen during the downtime right after a clear or before the next phase starts.

Mabinogi Mobile is mostly auto-play outside of a few harder pieces of content. That said, it doesn’t do absolutely everything on its own from start to finish, so you still have to check in regularly and tap a few things here and there.

So the setup is basically DNF Mobile as the main game, with me checking Mabinogi Mobile in between and running both together.

If you want to pair something else with DNF Mobile instead of Mabinogi Mobile, you could swap in auto-hunting games like Maple Idle, MapleStoryM, HIT2, Wars of Prasia, V4, or 바람의나라 연.

Add more depending on how much time is left

If I still have time left after wrapping up everything I want to do in DNF Mobile and Mabinogi Mobile, I hop around and sample a few other games.

There’s Dungeon&Fighter, which recently updated Tianhaecheon, and 바람의나라, which added Heukhwarang for its 30th anniversary.

Sure, I could log in whenever the mood strikes, but during event seasons like this, it’s nicer to jump in since you can collect all kinds of rewards more efficiently.

Lately, The First Descendant has added new content with Clash Mode and made balance adjustments, and there’s also an event handing out rewards like Viessa’s Cleaning Service skin, so I’ve been thinking about logging in again. It really is a game that absolutely nailed its character designs.

That’s my rundown of a back-to-back Nexon gaming routine. In a way, it’s a pretty ordinary setup, so I imagine most people who like games would probably nod along.

I’m also hoping Azur Promilia, which I want to add to this new routine, comes out soon. They’re finally taking CBT applications now.
