Look, let's be honest, Nexon has rolled out a rather cheeky collaboration between Mabinogi and Witch Hat Atelier on August 16. Running for roughly four weeks until the maintenance on November 12, this crossover drops characters from the animated series straight into the world of Mabinogi. For the uninitiated, Witch Hat Atelier is a fantasy tale following Coco, a young girl dreaming of becoming a wizard, as she embarks on her journey as an apprentice.

Through this update, story quests introducing the cast of Witch Hat Atelier arriving in the Mabinogi universe via a strange force will be unlocked sequentially week by week over the next four weeks. You can tag along on a journey through the Mabinogi world alongside characters such as Coco, Qifrey, Agat, Tethia, and Riche. Wrap up the first week's story quest, and the developer will hand over the 'Qifrey's Rescue Chair' item, recreating a memorable scene from the source material.

Meanwhile, Nexon is dishing out persistent buffs throughout the event and introducing 'Miniature Enhancement', a system allowing you to acquire miniatures of the animated characters. You can upgrade these miniatures by choosing the appearance and stats that tickle your fancy, and placing them on your romantic farm will grant you a handy stat boost. Event points can be traded for various collaboration goods like animated character costume sets, hair and eye beauty coupons, romantic farm installations, first and second titles, and damage skins.
