Nexon announced that Part 2 of the New Rise update for Mabinogi is releasing this December. The highlight is the introduction of two new Arcana talents.

Forbidden Alchemist

The first Arcana talent is called Forbidden Alchemist. It’s based on Combat Alchemy and for the first time in the game, incorporates a Life Talent, which is Potion Making, as a sub-talent. Each skill makes use of Alchemy Crystals and Herbs as components. This allows players to combine them in different ways and produce different effects based on the recipe.

The introduction of this new Arcana talent also means that the Alchemy damage logic is going to be completely overhauled.

Variable Gunner

The second Arcana talent is the Variable Gunner. It’s basically a combination of the Gunslinger and Synthesis Alchemy talents. This results in the Variable Gunner offering a rather versatile combat style especially since it makes use of Alchemy-based gun modification to perform different types of attacks like sniping, bombardment, or rapid fire.

The talent allows players to reconstruct the barrels of dual guns via alchemy. It lets them transform weapons into different forms like a sniper or a gatling gun. They can pretty much change it to whatever is needed in the current situation.

By using Synthesis Alchemy energy, the Variable Gunner can also charge special alchemical rounds to enhance the power of its Arcana skills.

While Part 2of the New Rise update is releasing this December, Part 1 is already live and you can read more about it here.

Mabinogi is an anime MMORPG that's filled with fashion and fantasy while also having the unique lifestyle systems built for ultimate self-expression. Players are invited to the mystical land of Erinn, where a century-old battle is now threatening the balance of the known world. They get to explore exotic locales, defeat mighty foes, and follow the path to destiny.

One of the unique features of Mabinogi is its unique Rebirth System. This one allows players to have their character reborn and live their life over and over again. It basically lets players try out all the talents, quests and skills, without losing progress.

It also means that choices for the next adventure are limitless. They can go up against a kraken, maybe seduce a succubus, or help a local farmer harvest their potatoes. Players can also choose to be a commerce mogul or compose their very own music. Through the expanding wardrobe of fashion along with frequent updates to content, every day in Mabinogi can be different.
