There’s a running joke among gamers that “there are too many worlds to save.” After all, playing several games at once rather than sticking to just one has become increasingly common.

The Nexon games I play are no exception.

Here’s what that looks like for me.

Blue Archive

I start my morning gaming routine with Blue Archive. Aside from special content like Total Assault, the dailies only take about 10 minutes.

Blue Archive is sometimes called a “bonsai game”: log in regularly and give your characters a little care, much like watering a potted plant, and they’ll steadily grow.

A big reason for that is that most content takes just a few clicks to complete using the Sweep feature.

Once I log in, I collect my attendance rewards and monthly subscription and package rewards from the mail. Then I gather Credits and AP from the Cafe and use all my Lesson Tickets for relationship points and skill materials.

I also make sure to collect the 10 AP from Club attendance, keep crafting running, and buy limited-stock items like Credits and Elephs from the shop. Those are all worth remembering.

After using all my Bounty and Scrimmage Tickets, I spend my remaining AP on main and event stages, then use Sweep to use up my Tactical Challenge Tickets. Finally, I collect the AP and extra rewards waiting in my mailbox, spend the remaining AP, and I’m done.

It looks complicated written out step by step, but once I’m used to the routine, it’s practically muscle memory.

DNF Mobile and Mabinogi Mobile

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

DNF Mobile has no autoplay, so everything has to be played manually.

The daily farming dungeons are easy enough that I can comfortably do something else alongside them. During content that needs more focus, like raids or disaster dungeons, I check Mabinogi Mobile right after a clear or while waiting for the next phase.

Aside from a few difficult activities, most content in Mabinogi Mobile can run automatically. It doesn’t handle everything on its own, though, so I still need to check in periodically and click a few things.

That makes it easy to run both together: I focus on DNF Mobile and check Mabinogi Mobile now and then.

If you’d like to pair DNF Mobile with something other than Mabinogi Mobile, you can swap in another game with auto-hunting, such as 메이플 키우기, MapleStory M, HIT2, Wars of Prasia, V4, or 바람의나라 연.

A Few More Games If Time Allows

Once I’ve finished all the content I want to play in DNF Mobile and Mabinogi Mobile, I try out a few other games if I still have time.

There’s DNF, which recently added 천해천, and 바람의나라, which added 흑화랑 for its 30th anniversary.

I could log in whenever the mood strikes, but visiting during events like these is a handy way to collect all sorts of rewards efficiently.

Recently, The First Descendant added the new Clash mode and introduced balance adjustments. With an event also underway offering rewards like Viessa’s Cleaning Service skin, I’m thinking about logging in. The game really does have great character designs.

That wraps up my back-to-back Nexon gaming routine. It’s a fairly ordinary routine in some ways, so I imagine most people who love games will find themselves nodding along.

I’m also hoping Azur Promilia comes out soon so I can make it part of my new routine. CBT sign-ups are finally open, too.
