Hello to everybody!
This guide is mostly addressing to the new players of MU, but not only!
After watching the videos about MU online on YouTube, many of you might question yourself about the gameplay. I will try to describe the gameplay and what you have to do.
First of all, we'll start with some details about the gameplay as a genre:
In MU Online, like in most MMORPGs, players have to create a character among seven different classes and to set their foot on the MU Continent. In order to gain experience and thus to level up, a player needs to fight monsters (mobs). MU is populated by a large variety of monsters, from simple ones like goblins and golems, to frightening ones such as the Gorgon, Kundun or Selupan. Each monster-type is unique, has different spawn points, and drops different items. Outside of a duel, PvP fighting is possible but "discouraged". When one player attacks another, a self-defense system is activated, in which the attacked player may kill the aggressor within a time limit. Self-defense is also activated when a player attacks an Elf's summoned creature. Outlaws have disadvantages during game play, depending on their Outlaw level.
At the start of the game the players can choose between four different character classes - Dark Wizard, Dark Knight, Elf, and Summoner. Players can unlock a Magic Gladiator, a RageFighter and a Dark Lord as they progress. Each class has its specific powers and items. As characters level up and complete quests, they can transform themselves into stronger classes. Each progressive class change grants, gain access to new spells, skills, weapons and wings as well as an associated change in appearance.
Mu Online has a built-in chat system that allows all visible players to easily communicate via text. Users can add custom players to their Friends List in-order to make it easy to keep in contact with one-another.
I will start with the the "mechanical" part of the game, then we'll talk about the gameplay.
Like most MMO games, characters in MU can use many different kinds of magic and special abilities. Each character has its own set of spells and some weapons may be enchanted in order to provide the character with a specific spell. Casting a spell costs MP (mana, or magic point) and sometimes AG or stamina.

Some hot-keys:
At the beginning you need to access your stats and inventory. You can do this by pressing C(here the level is displayed, your stats, etc) and V (inventory). In inventory you will find 2 rings, from where you can drop some nice starting items, but you can throw them on level 40 and on level 80. Each item occupies a number of slots from inventory. Above these slots you can equip items for your character, taking into account what you can wear and what you can not. Below you will find the amount of Zen that you posses. The Zen is used for teleporting, buying items from shops, item crafting, etc. There is a "plus" button too, it is the extended inventory, which drops in Karutan2. You can also sell items to shops for Zen.
As you progress in level, you will unlock the "Repair" and "Store" options, also included in the inventory screen. - This should happen really fast.
By unlocking the Repair function, you don't need to go to the BlackSmith shop anymore to repair items, you can do it by yourself (zen is used).
By unlocking the Store function, you can sell items to other players for zen. Just drag and drop the item that you want to sell into the store and set its price(right click). You can choose your store name too.
 
F - Friends / mail function, from level 6
H - Event planner, displays the starting hour for some events
D - Multitask bar, where you can request a player to Trade / Buy Store / Party / PM/ Request to join Guild etc., by selecting the wanted option and right click on the player
Enter - Chat
Printscreen button, saves the screenshot directly into your MU folder->Screenshots, no other software needed
F1 - Help Box, press F1 in game for even more very useful hot-keys. You can press multiple times

If you want to buy Healing Potions, Mana potions, some items/spells , you need to search the safezones of some cities for NonPlayerCharacters that are selling these things for zen.
You have an account Valut(Stash), where you can deposit your items. These items can be shared with your characters from the same account. It is located in almost every safezone of a city ( Safety Guardian is the name of the NPC).
You can also find the Chaos Goblin in Noria, for some combinations (upgrade items from +9 to +15 / creating wings / etc), Lahap in Elbeland, for stacking the jewels.
In the upper left corner, the coordinates for the current map are displayed.
Players can choose to team up with other players in a "party", in which players cooperate against enemy monsters to share and increase exp and loot.

The main goal of this game is to reach level 400. Based on that, our community offers you multiple type of gameplay choices: Inception, Phoenix and the *Wormhole concept. We have some vaulted versions too (like Non-Reset, which might be back some day).
Phoenix (Non-Reset with Optional resets type of gameplay): After your reach level 400 and finish your quests, you can farm your wanted items, you can go for Master Level (the 200th level is achieved by completing different tasks/quests), hunt events, PVP, etc. OR to reset to level 1 (you keep the items and ML), with a stats reset to level 1 (you get a low amount of bonus points, ~100) and you start over. There is a limited number of resets (~10). 
Inception (Multiple Resets type of gameplay): Same as Phoenix, but at level 400 you can reset you character to level 1 in order to start with a bigger amount of bonus points(~1000). Usually there are around 35 resets possible.
*Special *WormHole: The WormHole Concept, also known as Inception's kid, is a low term server (~60 days) where the gameplay is mostly the same as the one from Inception, but with limited access to some game items/features, and after some time (~50 days) you will be able to transfer your character to Inception. It is basically a wormhole for those who arrive later on Inception but want to still hit the top.
You can find all these servers here -----> https://mu.oldsquad.ro
Choose the right one for you ! 
**Note: Phoenix's exp rate is lower than Inception's, because we had to create balance for all the gameplays.

After you have joined MU and you have already chose a character, it's time to go kill some mobs for level up. You can only kill just a few monsters with your bare hands. You will need spells, items, potions, and, the most important thing, another players. You can create 2 accounts which can be connected at the same time, so you can start with multiple characters (much easier for you to level up, farm, etc.).
I suggest you to read the info for your chosen version of server on forum.
First you jump in the game, click the Elf Soldier (Shadow Phantom Soldier) to receive some bonus damage/defense, then you go to kill some mobs for level up. After killing some mobs, you will notice that you are not killing fast enough, so you need to search for some spells. Maybe you will find some in the shops. You can find shops in many maps, in safezones. You can buy some starting items from there, and some potions of healing and mana too. Shops are NPCs which are selling items to you for a certain amount of zen (zen is dropping from mobs). After you find some spells (don't worry if you won't find too many spells in shops, the most of spells are dropping from mobs in certain maps/spots) you can level up easier.
By the time you are leveling up, you must also search/obtain better items. There are items designed for each class (as well as spells). 
Items are classified as follows:
-Weapons:
On each weapon the damage and the required stats are displayed if you move your cursor on it. *Note regarding required stats: the game will sometimes display a smaller required number than the real one, unfortunately unfixable atm, but you can check the required stats on the test server: 
 
Swords/Blades/Maces/Staffs/Scepters, each designed for a certain class.
Tip: There are 2 types of damage received from weapons: normal damage, and wizardry damage(rise). If your character is a "warrior" type character (Dark Knight, Strength Magic Gladiator, etc), the damage that you are looking for is the normal one, written at one or two handed attack power. But if your character is a "mage" type character (Dark Wizard, Energy Magic Gladiator, Summoner, etc), you need to take into account the wizardry damage, not the normal attack power of the item.
-Set Items:
Armors/Helmets/Boots/Gloves/Pants/Shields. each designed for a certain class, having the defense and the required stats displayed if you move your cursor on it.
Some of the items are normal, just as listed above, while other items can be Excellent items (like the normal items, but here some options are added to the item, for example Increased Damage for weapons and decreased damage for set items. These options are upgrading the normal items to excellent items. You can not add or remove any options from an item), Ancient items (normal items with lots of extra options, organized in sets of multiple items -you need to find more items from a certain set in order for the options to be active-) and Socket Items (special items, on which you can add your desired options in the free slots).
Each kind of item is obtained in a different way, more details about the drops and item tiers at the Info&Rules section (Make sure that you are reading the right topic for your previously chosen server).
-Rings / Pendants : Rings are used like set items and pendants are giving bonus damage.
 
A much easier way to level up is when you are AFK, and we have a clicker implemented in our client, press Z in-game.
If you want to upgrade an item, you need jewels.
You can farm most of the items/jewels by participating at in-game events (Chaos Castle, Blood Caste, Devil Square, Invasions, etc). Some of the events can be used for leveling up too. 
You will team up with some players to compete against other players at these events.
You can create / join a guild. A guild is your "team" of players. After teaming up with your guild mates, you will unite your forces with them to conquer the Land of MU. There are lots of hot features and events for guild members.

Types of jewels:
-Jewel of Bless: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Soul: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Life: used to increase the ADD option of an item, and sometimes for some mixes
-Jewel of Chaos: used in mixes, it's the key jewel for almost any mix
-Jewel of Creation: used in mixes
-Gemstone: unrefined Jewel of Harmony
-Jewel of Harmony: used to add the harmony(yellow) option, and for some mixes
-Jewel of Guardian: used for Purple Option Mix
 
***
 
Upgrading items:
You can upgrade the level of an item by using some Jewels (Bless, Soul).
Let's say that you are a Dark Knight and you have found an Excellent Lightning Sword +luck +opt. The damage shown is 89~97.For example, if you want to increase the damage of the sword (thus the level of the item) you can drag a Jewel of Bless into the item. Now the item level is +1 and the displayed damage is 92~100. You can upgrade your items up to +15.
You can use Jewel of Bless to upgrade your item to +6, 100% chance of success.
You can use Jewel of Soul to upgrade your item from +6 to +9,  or from +1 to +9, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0).
If you want to go higher with the level of the item (+10, +11, .. , +15), you need to go to the Chaos Goblin in Noria(180 100) and hit the Regular Combination button, then give your +9 item to the Goblin, besides a Jewel of Bless, a Jewel of Soul and a Jewel of Chaos. Attention : A chance of success will be displayed by the Goblin. If your combination fails, your item will disappear. For the +11 combination you will need the +10 item + 2xJewel of Bless + 2xJewel of Soul + 1xJewel of chaos and so on, up to +15. *There is a special talisman used to make the item remain in case of a fail, but you will find it during gameplay.
Now if you have a Jewel of Life(JOL) you can drag it into an item to upgrade its Additional Damage/Def (ADD). If you don't have the ADD option, then the JOL will create it (+4). If you add another JOL the add might go to +8, but it can downgrade the item too, just like Jewel of Soul does.

Item options (for better understanding the difference between the item classes) :
You will find items in the game. Let's say that you find a Small Axe (with the displayed damage 1~6) - this is a normal item.
Normal items can have only 2 kind of extra options: Luck and ADD(Additional Damage/Defense)
But if you find an Excellent Small Axe, by picking it up you will see that an Excellent option is displayed (like damage decreased for set items and Increased Damage for weapons). This "excellent" option is what makes a normal item to be an excellent one. You will also notice that the damage for Excellent Small Axe is 31~36.
Excellent items can have Luck+add+max 2 exc options (and minimum 1 exc option).
Ancient items: Items dropped in specific locations, organized in sets (an ancient set can have different items) for activation. 
For example, the Hyon Set for Dark Knight has 4 components: Hyon Sword + Hyon Helm + Hyon Gloves + Hyon boots. If you only have 1 part of the set equipped, no ancient options are active. If you will equip another part, the first ancient option will be activated. If you equip the 3rd part, 2 option are active, and when you equip the final part, all the ancient options will be activated.
You can combine the ancient sets for various options (Hyon+Vicious).
Socket items: items dropped in specific locations (level required: 400). These items are normal items (can have Luck and ADD) with some empty slots, slots that you can fill with your chosen options. You need to craft specific items for filling these slots.
Plus, if you have a Jewel of Harmony, you can drag it into a normal or an Excellent item (not working for ancient/socket items) to add the harmony option to the item. You can increase the level of the yellow option by adding Higher of Lower Refinery Stones into the item. You can obtain these stones from Osbourne(Aida), by transforming some random items. You must increase the level of the item if you want to use refinery stones. For example, if you use a JOH for yellow option and you get let's say Damage Decrement Increase. If your item level is 0~9 you will have DDI 3%. If you upgrade your item to +10 you will be able to use a refinery stone to upgrade the DDI to +4%, and so on until +13. At +13 your DDI level will be 7%. These are the default values, you might encounter different upgrade level requirements for different yellow options on our servers.
There are several harmony options, so in order to remove your harmony option (if it's shitty), to be able to add another one, you have to go to Jerridon in Aida.
Even more, if you have a Jewel of Guardian (dropped in specific locations), a jewel of Harmony and a 380 level item, you can go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Item Option Combination, then combine these 3 items for obtaining the 380 Purple Option.
*Options on Excellent items:
An Excellent item can have a maximum of 2 options (some exceptions when you use Lord Mix).
For Set items:
-Increase Max HP +4% 
-Increase Max Mana +4%
-Damage Decrease +4% (received damage)
-Reflect Damage +5%
-Defense Success Rate +10% (mobs only)
-Increase Zen after killing mobs +30%
For Weapons:
-Excellent Damage Rate +10%
-Increase Damage +2%
-Increase Damage + lvl/20
-Increase Speed (Wizardry) +7
-Increase Life after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
-Increase Mana after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
*Options on ancient items:
Each ancient set has its own options, and there are multiple sets for each class of characters.
Example of bonus options for Hyon Set (BK):
-Increase Defensive Skill +25
-Double Damage Rate 10%
-Increase Skill Attacking Rate +20
-Increase Critical Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Excellent Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Critical Damage +20
-Increase Excellent Damage +20
Note: These options will activate once you equip each item.
*Options on Socket items:
Adding options into a Socket item is not an easy job, since these items can be equipped at level 400 (end-game items). I suggest you to skip this step for now, and come back again at the right time (when you will actually own a Socket Item).
The maximum number of slots for a Socket item is different for each server. For this tutorial, let's consider that the maximum number of slots is 3. You must add some "Seeds", containing options, into these items.
Let's suppose that we have have in inventory an ordinary Socket item (Royal Armor for DL) +3 empty slots (the item can have luck and ADD, but it does not matter). 
There are 6 types of seeds, each type having its own possible options:
  Type Options   Fire Attack/Wizardry damage increase (pro rata to level) 
Attack speed increase 
Maximum attack/Wizardry damage increase 
Attack/Wizardry damage increase   Water Defense success rate increase 
Defense increase 
Shield defense increase 
Damage reduction 
Damage reflection   Earth Stamina increase   Wind Life auto recovery increase 
Maximum Life increase 
Maximum Mana increase 
Automatic Mana recovery increase 
Maximum AG increase 
AG value increase   Lightening Excellent damage increase 
Excellent damage rate increase 
Critical damage increase 
Critical damage success rate increase 
    Ice Skill damage increase 
Attack success rate increase 
Item durability increase
 
First of all we need to craft a Seed. We can find the Seed Master in Elbeland(45 240), and choose the Seed Extraction button. For the Seed combination we need: any kind of ancient item +4(no ancient rings/pendants) + any kind of excellent item +4(no exc rings/pendants) + 1 Jewel of Harmony + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 Jewel of Chaos.
I have used a Mist Helm +4(ancient item) + an exc Dragon Armor +ref + 1 JOH + 1 creation + 1 chaos. All the seed extractions will have an 80% chance of success. When it fails, all the jewels will disappear and Ancient and Excellent items will randomly downgrade to level 0~2.
I just got an Increase Max Life Seed. 
The next step is to combine the Seed with a Sphere (which drops at specific locations). The better quality(level) the sphere has, the stronger option it will induce. Let's consider the max level for the sphere to be 4.
Take the Seed, the Sphere, 1 chaos , 1 creation back to the Seed Master and hit the Seed Sphere Assembly.
When it's successful : 
A seed sphere will be created. Once this is mounted to a socket item, it will give the item that special option. 
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into combination will disappear.
I have used a level 4 Sphere, and now my Seed in Sphere is Increase Maximum Life +8%. 
For level 3 sphere: Increase HP +7%, 6% for level 2 and 5% for level 1.
After you got this, all you need to do is to mount it to the item, with 100% chance of success. Go to the Seed Researcher in Elbeland(50 240), choose the first option and you got it. You can also remove Seeds from Sockets at the Seed Researcher.
!!! The Bonus for Socket items:
You will get some bonuses if you place the seeds in items as it's displayed in the next table:
 

 
As you see, some bonuses have a chance of success. So if you've placed the seeds as it's written in the table and your item is not showing the bonus, you can replace one random seed with the same seed or the same type of seed.

About Pets:
Pets are used by players to get more damage / defense. The pets are mostly used only in PvE (because they die fast PvP), but not only.
What pets can you find / craft:
-Guardian Angel, can be found. Bonuses by equipping a Guardian Angel: Absorb 20% of Damage; Increases max HP +50. Minimum level required: 23. Careful, this pet dies fast PvP !
-Imp (Satan), can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +30%. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP too.
-Demon, can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +40%; Attack Speed +10. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Uniria, can be found. Bonuses: Increases the moving speed. Min req lvl: 25. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Dinorant, needs to be crafted at the Chaos Goblin (Noria). You need 10 Horns of Uniria and a Jewel of Chaos (75% success rate). Bonuses: lets you fly ( if you don't have wings and you need to go in Icarus); Increase Damage +15%; Absorb 10% of Damage. Min req lvl: 110. Dies fast at PvP
-Horn of Fenrir, needs to be crafted. The Fenrir is the most powerful pet from MU, and it can be used for PvP (it dies pretty hard). For the crafting, you need multiple items. First of all you will need craft 5 Fragments of Horn. A Fragment of Horn can be made by combining 20xSplinter of Armor + 20xBless of Guardian+1 Jewel of Chaos (the splinter of armor and the bless of guardian are dropping in certain maps, usually KalimaX or Crywolf depending on the server) at the Chaos Goblin with 60% success rate. After you have 5 of this Fragments of Horn, you will need to search again that map for 10xClaw of Beast. Take the Claws and the Fragments of Horn and 1 Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin and combine them all together for a Broken Horn (50% chance of success). If you got the Broken Horn, you are at the last step. You need to combine this Broken Horn with 3 JOLs and 1 Jewel of Chaos (30% success rate). If you combination succeeds, you will get the most desired Horn of Fenrir (Red). The Red Fenrir does not offer any advantages, besides the maximum moving speed and some Pvp advantages. Yet. If you want your Fenrir to increase your stats, you will need to go through another combination. You can choose (based on your actual stats) if you want your Fenrir to "protect you" (Blue Fenrir), or if you want it to increase your damage (Black Fenrir). For the Blue Fenrir (absorbs 10% of damage) you need your Red Fenrir, 5 JOLs, 1 Jewel of Chaos and 1 Set Item+4 +4add minimum (armor/gloves/shield etc). The combination has 79% chance of success. If you want the Black Fenrir (Increases Damage +10%), you need to replace the Set Item with a Weapon, same 79% chance. There is a Golden Fenrir too, a pet which can be won by participating at Staff Events. I left a link at the end of this tutorial. 
You can restore the Fenrir's HP by dragging a Jewel of Bless into it. For the rest of the pets, you can do nothing to heal them up, for now.

You can evolve your character by making some special quests. Usually you have to do these quests in order to be able to use better spells and better gear.
 
First Quest:
In order to Upgrade your class, you have to be at least at level 150, then Warp into Devias then go to Sebina the Priest (Devias, 185 30). This quest is available only for Dark Knight, Dark Wizard,  Elf ,  and Summoner.
In the first part of this quest you will be asked to find the "Scroll of Emperor". This quest item is usually dropped in LostTower 1~3, by killing mobs.
After finding the Scroll, for part 2 you will be asked to find another item, which usually drops in LostTower 7 and sometimes in Tarkan/Aida.
After finishind the quest you will upgrade as follows: Dark Knight into Blade Knight (BK), Dark Wizard into Soul Master (SM),  Elf into Muse Elfe (ME) ,  and Summoner into Bloody Summoner (BS).
 
Marlon Quest:
Located random in Devias(185 30) or Lorencia(130 85) or Noria(170 90) or Atlans(20 25).
Again available only for BK, SM, Elf, Summ. At level 220, you need to complete this Marlon Quest, in order to be able to get 6 points per level instead 5, from now on (or 4 instead of 3, depending on the server). You will be asked to find the "Ring of Honor", which usually drops in Tarkan.
Now there is a part two of this quest, but available only for BK. The players will need to find the Dark Stone (drops also in Tarkan).After delivering the Dark Stone to Marlon, the BK will learn to do a combo. Combo is the specific skill for the BK class, and you can do a Combo by combining some spells (without failure). The basic Combo is done by using the Weapon Skill + Twisting Slash Skill + Death Stab skill. You can explore more combinations of skills.
MG/DL/RF can not do this quest at all since they already get 7 points per level.
Warning: It is almost mandatory to do this quest since your first reset, since you cannot get the lost points back if you do reset.
 
Third Quest [Hard]:
Now this quest is available for all classes and it can vary depending on the server type. 
You can start the first part at level 380 by going to Apostle Devin, Lorencia, near bar. He will tell you to bring 3 items:
- Flame of Death Beam Knight, dropped only by the Death Beam Knight in Tarkan2 around 175 215
- Horn of Hell Maine, dropped only by the Hell Maine in Aida2 around 115 65
- Feather of Phoenix, dropped only by Phoenix of Darkness in Icarus around 40 200
That's the hardest part of the quest, the items can be dropped in few hours to few days.
After delivering the quest items, you will be asked to be level 400 in order to proceed.
The Apostle will tell you to kill 20 x each monster from Barracks. The NPC for warping into Barracks is situated in CryWolf(60 235) or near Lorencia Bar. 
For the third part you will need to kill the Dark Elf in Refuge. So you will need to head back to Barracks, and to go to the Refuge Gate at the end of Barracks(120 170). Inside you will find the Dark Elf.
By finishing the 3rd Quest, you will evolve, and you will unlock the Master Skill Tree (Press A). You gain master points by killing specific Master Level (ML) mobs. 
Maximum ML : ~200
!!! I strongly recommend you to test each upgrade of the skill tree (and not only) on the Test server in order to make sure that you will actually obtain the desired result!

About the in-game events:
-Chaos Castle: 
You can find the invitation for Chaos Castle (CC) at the shop from Lore Bar (Armor of Guardsman is the item).
As you can see if you click on the Invitation, there are 7 CCs, 1 for each different level range. This invitation works for any level -only for CC, for other events you will need to craft the right invitation for your level- .
Inside CC you will have to wait until registering stops (multiple players can join), and you will have a specific skin (so it will be quite hard to distinguish the players from mobs). Mobs have a very high chance to drop jewels inside CC.
There will be a total of 100 characters (players+mobs), and the last standing man is the winner. The winner has a reward (from jwls to ancient items, etc). So you go CC for farming items/jwls.
 
-Blood Castle:
For Blood Castle (BC), you need to craft the right invitation based on your level (check server details for the required levels, or simply ask a player). Let's say that you have level X and you need the BC Y invitation. You need to find Blood Bone +Y and Scroll of Archangel +Y. Take these 2 items and a Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin in Noria, hit the Regular Combination button and voila. Then right click on the invitation when you are in safe-zone to Warp into BC.
There the main goal is to cross the bridge, destroy the gate, and destroy the statue that will appear up on the throne, after killing some mobs. The player that destroys the statue will acquire the Weapon of Archangel, and he need to bring it back to the starting zone and click on the Archangel to get the reward and end the event. You can team up with your party against other players/parties. 
The experience gained in BC is being usually doubled, so you can use this event for level up too.
 
-Devil Square:
Just like for BC, you will need to craft the right Devil Square (DS) invitation for your level. You will need Devil's Eye, Devil's Key and a Jewel of Chaos for your Goblin combination.
Inside DS the experience gained is being doubled, and the mobs might drop some end-tier spells, besides jewels and ancient items, etc.
You can team up with your party for a faster kill. This event is used for leveling up.
 
-Golden Invasions:
From time to time, some maps will be invaded by some Golden Creatures (a message will be displayed on global chat). You need to find and kill these Goldens in order to receive some rewards. One of the basic rewards for killing these Goldens is the Box of Kundun (BOK). The level range for BOK is 1 ~ 5, depending on the level of the Golden that you have killed. By dropping this BOK, you will find an Excellent Item. Hunt more Goldens for finding all the items / weapons from a set. 
Details about spawn points and drop list at Info for each server.
Also, check the server info for more invasions, like Rabbits, White Wizard, etc.
 
-Illusion Temple:
Once the event start has been announced you have 5 minutes time to go to the Illusion Temple NPC (Elbeland 55 240) and register for the level/reset range you are in. The event consists out of two teams(randomly generated - max 2 teams of 5 ppl) who will try to get as many items from the Stone Henge NPC as possible. Once a player has received the item he will be slowed. Returning the item to the base camp will get the team 1 point. The players will not be able to use their skills in battle. They will be granted skills only when killing adversaries. Also the players look will change just like in chaos castle.
When you enter you are warped inside the waiting room until illusion temple starts, when it starts teams are putted together 'alliance' and 'illusion' team. Teams are random meaning u cannot chose your ally nor your opponent. In illusion temple the purpose of the game is to capture the 'illusion temple ball' located in the north and in the south of the map you must return these to a container at your starting place

Note: your running speed while carrying the ball will decrease dramatically making u slow and easy to catch
When the ball carrier is killed he drops the ball. When you return the ball to your starting place your team will gain 1 point. Max points: 7

When you kill an opponent you will gain 5 killpoints, this being your personal score and not from the team. These points are to use special abilities inside illusion temple.
Magic shield order: 5p. Function: Prevents 100% of DMG, duration 15 sec; Resistance order: 5p. Function: Paralyzes the enemy for 15 sec; Tracking order: 10p. Function: teleports you to the Ball; Freeze time: 5p. Function: Takes enemy 50% of SD.

Once the event starts, players who are in are assigned to a random team and get a team uniform.
For each opposing player killed, the killing team gets five skill points which can be spent to temporarily improve their character during the event. On top of killing other players, there are 2 statues located in the event map, each holding an event ball.
Each team's base also comes equipped with a pedestal, where players can bring back the event balls for points. Once a ball is taken from a status, both statues disappear. 

They reappear again once a team returns the ball to their respective base.
The first team which is able to return the ball seven times first wins. So not only is it important to kill the opposing team as much as possible, but to also gather as many event balls as possible while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The ball carrier will move in slow motion, so it's important for his or her teammates to work together to protect the ball carrier from the opposing team. Once a ball carrier is killed, disconnected or leaves the event, the ball will fall to the ground and is able to be picked up by any player on either team.
 
-CryWolf Event:
This event happens twice a week. 
In CryWolf is a Statue with some pedestals. At the beginning, at least one ELF has to stand on a random pedestal during the whole event. The last ELF mustn't move or die, because the event will be canceled. The Kundun army will spawn, and the rest of the players must defeat the army, and protect the Elves on pedestals and the Statue. Each mob kill has a nice reward, plus, if the event is finished, the WHOLE SERVER will get some bonus exp (for example, on Phoenix you get 15% bonus exp after finishing CW event).
 
-Refinery Tower:
Refinery Tower is the place where you can refine Gemstones, and turn them to Jewels of Harmony (with an 80% chance of success). The Refinery Tower entrance is located in Kanturu Relics(140 185). Sometimes the refinery is open(meaning that the Refinery Event was finished before by another player/s).
If you find the Refinery Tower closed, you have to complete the event.
First of all, you will need a Moonstone Pendant equipped, which drops in the same map from regular mobs. After acquiring the pendant, you have to wait for the gate to be opened. Once you are inside, you will fight Maya's hands and minions. After defeating them, you have to face the boss, Nightmare, which drops nice rewards when killed. After Nightmare is killed, the Refinery Tower will be open again for everyone for a certain amount of time.
 
-Castle Siege:
This event has a dedicated topic, since our system is unique. Check the forum info for your server !
 
***
 
-Wings:
Wings are special items that can be obtained by farming and upgrading another items. There are multiple kind of wings: Small Wings, Level 1 Wings, Level 2 Wings, Level 3 Wings, Level 4 Wings.
The rate of success for wings is influenced by the items that are used.
For example, the small wings will be dropped from one of the rings that you will find in your inventory when you first log in to the game. You need to be at least level 80 to be able to drop this ring.
For Wings lvl 1 you need to combine some low tier items at the Goblin(Noria). Wings level 2, 3, 4 are just upgrades from wings lvl 1, and you need to acquire certain items for each upgrade.
I will give an example of basic Wings lvl 1 combination:
Careful, DL / RF cannot equip any level 1 Wings !
Below you will find info about some jewels too.
First you need to go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Chaos Weapon Combination button. For this combination you'll need an item at least +4 and +4 Additional Dmg/Def (add). I suggest you to use an item dropped by a Medal. But you can also upgrade an item to +4 (or more) using Jewel of Bless and Jewel of Soul. You can upgrade your item to +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 with Jewel of Bless in a 100% safe way. Just drag it into the item. You can't go higher than +6 with Jewel of Bless. From +6 to +9 you will need to use the Jewel of Soul, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0). 
If you want to some Additional Damage / Def (ADD) for your item, you need to use a Jewel of Life (JOL). By dragging the JOL into the item you will sum +4 ADD. If you drag another JOL your item will go to +8 ADD, etc.
Careful, the JOL can also downgrade the ADD (from +4 add to +0, +12 to +8, +12 to +0, etc).
Max ADD on items: Usually +28
Max ADD for Goblin: +16. If you upgrade your items up to +16, your general chance for Chaos Combinations will be increased. If you exceed +16 ADD (+20, +24, +28), your item ADD will be count as 0 or smth.
So for our Chaos Weapon Combination we need an item at least +4 and +4 add and a Jewel of Chaos. You can raise the levels of the items for a better chance of success. I have used a Plate Helm +8 +12add for a 62% chance of success, then I used a JOL to upgrade the add to +16 for a 100% chance of succes and the Chaos Weapon has been created. I got it +2 and +0 add. For the next step we need again our Chaos Weapon to be at least +4 and +4 add. You can upgrade your current Chaos weapon with Bless, Soul and JOL or you can go for another combination. I'll go for another combination. Damn, I got a new Chaos Weapon, but this time it's +1 and +0 add. Better upgrade the previous one from +2 and +0 add to +4 and +4 add. 
For step 2 I will use the +4 and +4 add Chaos weapon to create the wings. Click on the Goblin, and hit the Regular Combination button. Now insert your Chaos Weapon and a Jewel of Chaos to create the wings. But wait, my chance of success now is only 11%. I will upgrade the Weapon to +5. Meh, not good, 13%. I will upgrade the ADD to +8. 19%. We need more. Wait, there says that if I add a Jewel of Bless or Soul to the combination the rate will increase. Let's see. 24% with a Jewel of Bless. 28% with both Bless and Soul. We need more. There says that we can add a +4 and +4 add item to increase the rate. I will find another item. I just got a Lightning Sword +5 and +4 add. 46%. I need a better item. By the time I got me another Lightning Sword +7 + add 4. Let's try the combination with this new sword. 68%. And if I add my old Lightning Sword +5+add4 I get 86%. I just hit the Combine button, and I got some Wings Level 1 for Elf.
If your combination succeeds, you can get Wings of Satan (for Dark Knight / Magic Gladiator), Wings of Heaven (Dark Wizard / Magic Gladiator), or wings of Elf, random.
Now we can equip our wings (if they're matching our class), or we can trade them.
 
Wings level 2 are just an upgrade from wings level 1. Now DL and RF can create their own wings(capes).
If you want to upgrade your lvl 1 wings to lvl 2, you will need a Feather (for BK, SM, MG, ELF and Summ) or a Crest of Monarch (for DL / RF). Both the Feather and the Crest of Monarch can be found in Icarus by killing mobs.
Your need 1st quest to be able equip these wings.
I suggest you to raise the add of the Wings to +12 or +16 for a higher chance.
I have a pair of lvl 1 wings of Elf +1 +12 add, 1 chaos and 1 Feather. My chance is 53%.
There it says that I can add again an item to increase the rate. But this time it has to be an Excellent item.
Luckily I already have a Skull Shield +7 +luck +add8 +zen and I get a 87% chance and I got some Summoner Wings level 2 +HP.
Again, the wings will be random (in case of success). For DL / RF capes use Crest of Monarch instead of Feather.
 
Wings level 3
For wings level 3 you need 3rd quest in order to be able to equip 'em.
You need these items for your Chaos Combination:
-Condor's Flame: has a very low drop rate in Swamp
-Feather of Condor: you need to craft this item
-1 Jewel of Chaos
-1 bundle of 10 Bless
-1 bundle of 10 Soul
-1 Jewel of Creation
-an Excellent item +9 +add4 at least
The max rate of success for Wings level 3 is 40%.
Feather of Condor combination ingredients (max rate of succes 60%) : Wings lvl 2 +9 +add4 (you don't need more for wings) + Ancient item +7 +add4 (at least) + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 bundle of 10 Soul.
Tip: always use +16 add on items for the best success rate at Chaos Combination (where the ADD does matter for the combination)
I suggest you to use high-tier ancient items (Hyon Sword or/and Gywen Bow) at least +9 +add16 for a higher chance. For example with Wings of Dragon +9 +add4, 1 bundle of 10 soul, 1 chaos, 1 creation and 1 Hyon Sword +9 +add16 I get 30% chance of succes. If I add another Hyon Sword +9+add16 I get 60% chance of Succes.
Another way to increase your chance is to upgrade your ancient item to +10. With only 1 Hyon Sword +10 +add16 I get 53% chance of succes.
After crafting the Feather, we can go back to our basic combination: Condor's Flame, Feather of Condor, 1 Jewel of Chaos, 1 bundle of 10 Bless, 1 bundle of 10 Soul, 1 Jewel of Creation and an Excellent items +9 +add4 at least.
For this combination I have a Rune Blade +9 +add16. My chance of success is 25%. I suggest you to use MG weapons for this combination. 
I can upgrade my Rune Blade to +10 for a 38% chance of succes or bring another Exc item +9 +add16.
If your combination succeeds, you will acquire a pair of random Wings level 3 (Capes for DL / RF included now) with random options. I just got a Cape of Emperor +ignore for DL with 38% chance of success.
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into the combination will disappear.
For Wings level 4 we have a special topic, please check it out.

About Gens:
Maybe you have noticed that you can not access the "Battle" maps. That's because on these maps only the members of Gens are allowed. Gens is a PvP system,  and you can earn contribution points and reward from PvP against the opposing Gens. There are 2 Gens families: Vanert and Duprian. You can join any Gens family by going to the special gens NPC, near Lorencia Ring. After you have joined a family, you will free PK the opp family in the battle maps, and you can't see opps names on battle maps.

We also want to offer you the best gameplay, so we have created a Special Series of Events, made by staff.
More details here ----> https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/1651-osp-weekly-events-monthly-competition-legends-group/
 
This is only the basic guide for you to start.We strongly  recommend you to browse the info for your server! Google is sometimes a good source too.
 
I will let this topic open for any questions .
 

Hello to everybody!
This guide is mostly addressing to the new players of MU, but not only!
After watching the videos about MU online on YouTube, many of you might question yourself about the gameplay. I will try to describe the gameplay and what you have to do.
First of all, we'll start with some details about the gameplay as a genre:
In MU Online, like in most MMORPGs, players have to create a character among seven different classes and to set their foot on the MU Continent. In order to gain experience and thus to level up, a player needs to fight monsters (mobs). MU is populated by a large variety of monsters, from simple ones like goblins and golems, to frightening ones such as the Gorgon, Kundun or Selupan. Each monster-type is unique, has different spawn points, and drops different items. Outside of a duel, PvP fighting is possible but "discouraged". When one player attacks another, a self-defense system is activated, in which the attacked player may kill the aggressor within a time limit. Self-defense is also activated when a player attacks an Elf's summoned creature. Outlaws have disadvantages during game play, depending on their Outlaw level.
At the start of the game the players can choose between four different character classes - Dark Wizard, Dark Knight, Elf, and Summoner. Players can unlock a Magic Gladiator, a RageFighter and a Dark Lord as they progress. Each class has its specific powers and items. As characters level up and complete quests, they can transform themselves into stronger classes. Each progressive class change grants, gain access to new spells, skills, weapons and wings as well as an associated change in appearance.
Mu Online has a built-in chat system that allows all visible players to easily communicate via text. Users can add custom players to their Friends List in-order to make it easy to keep in contact with one-another.
I will start with the the "mechanical" part of the game, then we'll talk about the gameplay.
Like most MMO games, characters in MU can use many different kinds of magic and special abilities. Each character has its own set of spells and some weapons may be enchanted in order to provide the character with a specific spell. Casting a spell costs MP (mana, or magic point) and sometimes AG or stamina.

Some hot-keys:
At the beginning you need to access your stats and inventory. You can do this by pressing C(here the level is displayed, your stats, etc) and V (inventory). In inventory you will find 2 rings, from where you can drop some nice starting items, but you can throw them on level 40 and on level 80. Each item occupies a number of slots from inventory. Above these slots you can equip items for your character, taking into account what you can wear and what you can not. Below you will find the amount of Zen that you posses. The Zen is used for teleporting, buying items from shops, item crafting, etc. There is a "plus" button too, it is the extended inventory, which drops in Karutan2. You can also sell items to shops for Zen.
As you progress in level, you will unlock the "Repair" and "Store" options, also included in the inventory screen. - This should happen really fast.
By unlocking the Repair function, you don't need to go to the BlackSmith shop anymore to repair items, you can do it by yourself (zen is used).
By unlocking the Store function, you can sell items to other players for zen. Just drag and drop the item that you want to sell into the store and set its price(right click). You can choose your store name too.
 
F - Friends / mail function, from level 6
H - Event planner, displays the starting hour for some events
D - Multitask bar, where you can request a player to Trade / Buy Store / Party / PM/ Request to join Guild etc., by selecting the wanted option and right click on the player
Enter - Chat

F11- Reset 3D Camera
F12- Minimize the game
M - Warping Menu
A - Master Level, after completing Quest 3

G - Guild Menu (for Guild members)
P - Party Window (for Party members)

If you want to buy Healing Potions, Mana potions, some items/spells , you need to search the safezones of some cities for NonPlayerCharacters that are selling these things for zen.
You have an account Valut(Stash), where you can deposit your items. These items can be shared with your characters from the same account. It is located in almost every safezone of a city ( Safety Guardian is the name of the NPC).
You can also find the Chaos Goblin in Noria, for some combinations (upgrade items from +9 to +15 / creating wings / etc), Lahap in Elbeland, for stacking the jewels.
In the upper left corner, the coordinates for the current map are displayed.
Players can choose to team up with other players in a "party", in which players cooperate against enemy monsters to share and increase exp and loot.

The main goal of this game is to reach level 400. Based on that, our community offers you multiple type of gameplay choices: Inception, Phoenix and the *Wormhole concept. We have some vaulted versions too (like Non-Reset, which might be back some day).
Phoenix (Non-Reset with Optional resets type of gameplay): After your reach level 400 and finish your quests, you can farm your wanted items, you can go for Master Level (the 200th level is achieved by completing different tasks/quests), hunt events, PVP, etc. OR to reset to level 1 (you keep the items and ML), with a stats reset to level 1 (you get a low amount of bonus points, ~100) and you start over. There is a limited number of resets (~10). 
Inception (Multiple Resets type of gameplay): Same as Phoenix, but at level 400 you can reset you character to level 1 in order to start with a bigger amount of bonus points(~1000). Usually there are around 35 resets possible.
*Special *WormHole: The WormHole Concept, also known as Inception's kid, is a low term server (~60 days) where the gameplay is mostly the same as the one from Inception, but with limited access to some game items/features, and after some time (~50 days) you will be able to transfer your character to Inception. It is basically a wormhole for those who arrive later on Inception but want to still hit the top.
You can find all these servers here -----> https://mu.oldsquad.ro
Choose the right one for you ! 
**Note: Phoenix's exp rate is lower than Inception's, because we had to create balance for all the gameplays.

After you have joined MU and you have already chose a character, it's time to go kill some mobs for level up. You can only kill just a few monsters with your bare hands. You will need spells, items, potions, and, the most important thing, another players. You can create 2 accounts which can be connected at the same time, so you can start with multiple characters (much easier for you to level up, farm, etc.).
I suggest you to read the info for your chosen version of server on forum.
First you jump in the game, click the Elf Soldier (Shadow Phantom Soldier) to receive some bonus damage/defense, then you go to kill some mobs for level up. After killing some mobs, you will notice that you are not killing fast enough, so you need to search for some spells. Maybe you will find some in the shops. You can find shops in many maps, in safezones. You can buy some starting items from there, and some potions of healing and mana too. Shops are NPCs which are selling items to you for a certain amount of zen (zen is dropping from mobs). After you find some spells (don't worry if you won't find too many spells in shops, the most of spells are dropping from mobs in certain maps/spots) you can level up easier.
By the time you are leveling up, you must also search/obtain better items. There are items designed for each class (as well as spells). 
Items are classified as follows:
-Weapons:
On each weapon the damage and the required stats are displayed if you move your cursor on it. *Note regarding required stats: the game will sometimes display a smaller required number than the real one, unfortunately unfixable atm, but you can check the required stats on the test server: 
 
Swords/Blades/Maces/Staffs/Scepters, each designed for a certain class.
Tip: There are 2 types of damage received from weapons: normal damage, and wizardry damage(rise). If your character is a "warrior" type character (Dark Knight, Strength Magic Gladiator, etc), the damage that you are looking for is the normal one, written at one or two handed attack power. But if your character is a "mage" type character (Dark Wizard, Energy Magic Gladiator, Summoner, etc), you need to take into account the wizardry damage, not the normal attack power of the item.
-Set Items:
Armors/Helmets/Boots/Gloves/Pants/Shields. each designed for a certain class, having the defense and the required stats displayed if you move your cursor on it.
Some of the items are normal, just as listed above, while other items can be Excellent items (like the normal items, but here some options are added to the item, for example Increased Damage for weapons and decreased damage for set items. These options are upgrading the normal items to excellent items. You can not add or remove any options from an item), Ancient items (normal items with lots of extra options, organized in sets of multiple items -you need to find more items from a certain set in order for the options to be active-) and Socket Items (special items, on which you can add your desired options in the free slots).
Each kind of item is obtained in a different way, more details about the drops and item tiers at the Info&Rules section (Make sure that you are reading the right topic for your previously chosen server).
-Rings / Pendants : Rings are used like set items and pendants are giving bonus damage.
 
A much easier way to level up is when you are AFK, and we have a clicker implemented in our client, press Z in-game.
If you want to upgrade an item, you need jewels.
You can farm most of the items/jewels by participating at in-game events (Chaos Castle, Blood Caste, Devil Square, Invasions, etc). Some of the events can be used for leveling up too. 
You will team up with some players to compete against other players at these events.
You can create / join a guild. A guild is your "team" of players. After teaming up with your guild mates, you will unite your forces with them to conquer the Land of MU. There are lots of hot features and events for guild members.

Upgrading items:
You can upgrade the level of an item by using some Jewels (Bless, Soul).
Let's say that you are a Dark Knight and you have found an Excellent Lightning Sword +luck +opt. The damage shown is 89~97.For example, if you want to increase the damage of the sword (thus the level of the item) you can drag a Jewel of Bless into the item. Now the item level is +1 and the displayed damage is 92~100. You can upgrade your items up to +15.
You can use Jewel of Bless to upgrade your item to +6, 100% chance of success.
You can use Jewel of Soul to upgrade your item from +6 to +9,  or from +1 to +9, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0).
If you want to go higher with the level of the item (+10, +11, .. , +15), you need to go to the Chaos Goblin in Noria(180 100) and hit the Regular Combination button, then give your +9 item to the Goblin, besides a Jewel of Bless, a Jewel of Soul and a Jewel of Chaos. Attention : A chance of success will be displayed by the Goblin. If your combination fails, your item will disappear. For the +11 combination you will need the +10 item + 2xJewel of Bless + 2xJewel of Soul + 1xJewel of chaos and so on, up to +15. *There is a special talisman used to make the item remain in case of a fail, but you will find it during gameplay.
Now if you have a Jewel of Life(JOL) you can drag it into an item to upgrade its Additional Damage/Def (ADD). If you don't have the ADD option, then the JOL will create it (+4). If you add another JOL the add might go to +8, but it can downgrade the item too, just like Jewel of Soul does.

Item options (for better understanding the difference between the item classes) :
You will find items in the game. Let's say that you find a Small Axe (with the displayed damage 1~6) - this is a normal item.
Normal items can have only 2 kind of extra options: Luck and ADD(Additional Damage/Defense)
But if you find an Excellent Small Axe, by picking it up you will see that an Excellent option is displayed (like damage decreased for set items and Increased Damage for weapons). This "excellent" option is what makes a normal item to be an excellent one. You will also notice that the damage for Excellent Small Axe is 31~36.
Excellent items can have Luck+add+max 2 exc options (and minimum 1 exc option).
Ancient items: Items dropped in specific locations, organized in sets (an ancient set can have different items) for activation. 
For example, the Hyon Set for Dark Knight has 4 components: Hyon Sword + Hyon Helm + Hyon Gloves + Hyon boots. If you only have 1 part of the set equipped, no ancient options are active. If you will equip another part, the first ancient option will be activated. If you equip the 3rd part, 2 option are active, and when you equip the final part, all the ancient options will be activated.
You can combine the ancient sets for various options (Hyon+Vicious).
Socket items: items dropped in specific locations (level required: 400). These items are normal items (can have Luck and ADD) with some empty slots, slots that you can fill with your chosen options. You need to craft specific items for filling these slots.
Plus, if you have a Jewel of Harmony, you can drag it into a normal or an Excellent item (not working for ancient/socket items) to add the harmony option to the item. You can increase the level of the yellow option by adding Higher of Lower Refinery Stones into the item. You can obtain these stones from Osbourne(Aida), by transforming some random items. You must increase the level of the item if you want to use refinery stones. For example, if you use a JOH for yellow option and you get let's say Damage Decrement Increase. If your item level is 0~9 you will have DDI 3%. If you upgrade your item to +10 you will be able to use a refinery stone to upgrade the DDI to +4%, and so on until +13. At +13 your DDI level will be 7%. These are the default values, you might encounter different upgrade level requirements for different yellow options on our servers.
There are several harmony options, so in order to remove your harmony option (if it's shitty), to be able to add another one, you have to go to Jerridon in Aida.
Even more, if you have a Jewel of Guardian (dropped in specific locations), a jewel of Harmony and a 380 level item, you can go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Item Option Combination, then combine these 3 items for obtaining the 380 Purple Option.
*Options on Excellent items:
An Excellent item can have a maximum of 2 options (some exceptions when you use Lord Mix).
For Set items:
-Increase Max HP +4% 
-Increase Max Mana +4%
-Damage Decrease +4% (received damage)
-Reflect Damage +5%
-Defense Success Rate +10% (mobs only)
-Increase Zen after killing mobs +30%
For Weapons:
-Excellent Damage Rate +10%
-Increase Damage +2%
-Increase Damage + lvl/20
-Increase Speed (Wizardry) +7
-Increase Life after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
-Increase Mana after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
*Options on ancient items:
Each ancient set has its own options, and there are multiple sets for each class of characters.
Example of bonus options for Hyon Set (BK):
-Increase Defensive Skill +25
-Double Damage Rate 10%
-Increase Skill Attacking Rate +20
-Increase Critical Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Excellent Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Critical Damage +20
-Increase Excellent Damage +20
Note: These options will activate once you equip each item.
*Options on Socket items:
Adding options into a Socket item is not an easy job, since these items can be equipped at level 400 (end-game items). I suggest you to skip this step for now, and come back again at the right time (when you will actually own a Socket Item).
The maximum number of slots for a Socket item is different for each server. For this tutorial, let's consider that the maximum number of slots is 3. You must add some "Seeds", containing options, into these items.
Let's suppose that we have have in inventory an ordinary Socket item (Royal Armor for DL) +3 empty slots (the item can have luck and ADD, but it does not matter). 
There are 6 types of seeds, each type having its own possible options:
  Type Options   Fire Attack/Wizardry damage increase (pro rata to level) 
Attack speed increase 
Maximum attack/Wizardry damage increase 
Attack/Wizardry damage increase   Water Defense success rate increase 
Defense increase 
Shield defense increase 
Damage reduction 
Damage reflection   Earth Stamina increase   Wind Life auto recovery increase 
Maximum Life increase 
Maximum Mana increase 
Automatic Mana recovery increase 
Maximum AG increase 
AG value increase   Lightening Excellent damage increase 
Excellent damage rate increase 
Critical damage increase 
Critical damage success rate increase 
    Ice Skill damage increase 
Attack success rate increase 
Item durability increase
 
First of all we need to craft a Seed. We can find the Seed Master in Elbeland(45 240), and choose the Seed Extraction button. For the Seed combination we need: any kind of ancient item +4(no ancient rings/pendants) + any kind of excellent item +4(no exc rings/pendants) + 1 Jewel of Harmony + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 Jewel of Chaos.
I have used a Mist Helm +4(ancient item) + an exc Dragon Armor +ref + 1 JOH + 1 creation + 1 chaos. All the seed extractions will have an 80% chance of success. When it fails, all the jewels will disappear and Ancient and Excellent items will randomly downgrade to level 0~2.
I just got an Increase Max Life Seed. 
The next step is to combine the Seed with a Sphere (which drops at specific locations). The better quality(level) the sphere has, the stronger option it will induce. Let's consider the max level for the sphere to be 4.
Take the Seed, the Sphere, 1 chaos , 1 creation back to the Seed Master and hit the Seed Sphere Assembly.
When it's successful : 
A seed sphere will be created. Once this is mounted to a socket item, it will give the item that special option. 
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into combination will disappear.
I have used a level 4 Sphere, and now my Seed in Sphere is Increase Maximum Life +8%. 
For level 3 sphere: Increase HP +7%, 6% for level 2 and 5% for level 1.
After you got this, all you need to do is to mount it to the item, with 100% chance of success. Go to the Seed Researcher in Elbeland(50 240), choose the first option and you got it. You can also remove Seeds from Sockets at the Seed Researcher.
!!! The Bonus for Socket items:
You will get some bonuses if you place the seeds in items as it's displayed in the next table:
 

 
As you see, some bonuses have a chance of success. So if you've placed the seeds as it's written in the table and your item is not showing the bonus, you can replace one random seed with the same seed or the same type of seed.

About Pets:
Pets are used by players to get more damage / defense. The pets are mostly used only in PvE (because they die fast PvP), but not only.
What pets can you find / craft:
-Guardian Angel, can be found. Bonuses by equipping a Guardian Angel: Absorb 20% of Damage; Increases max HP +50. Minimum level required: 23. Careful, this pet dies fast PvP !
-Imp (Satan), can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +30%. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP too.
-Demon, can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +40%; Attack Speed +10. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Uniria, can be found. Bonuses: Increases the moving speed. Min req lvl: 25. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Dinorant, needs to be crafted at the Chaos Goblin (Noria). You need 10 Horns of Uniria and a Jewel of Chaos (75% success rate). Bonuses: lets you fly ( if you don't have wings and you need to go in Icarus); Increase Damage +15%; Absorb 10% of Damage. Min req lvl: 110. Dies fast at PvP
-Horn of Fenrir, needs to be crafted. The Fenrir is the most powerful pet from MU, and it can be used for PvP (it dies pretty hard). For the crafting, you need multiple items. First of all you will need craft 5 Fragments of Horn. A Fragment of Horn can be made by combining 20xSplinter of Armor + 20xBless of Guardian+1 Jewel of Chaos (the splinter of armor and the bless of guardian are dropping in certain maps, usually KalimaX or Crywolf depending on the server) at the Chaos Goblin with 60% success rate. After you have 5 of this Fragments of Horn, you will need to search again that map for 10xClaw of Beast. Take the Claws and the Fragments of Horn and 1 Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin and combine them all together for a Broken Horn (50% chance of success). If you got the Broken Horn, you are at the last step. You need to combine this Broken Horn with 3 JOLs and 1 Jewel of Chaos (30% success rate). If you combination succeeds, you will get the most desired Horn of Fenrir (Red). The Red Fenrir does not offer any advantages, besides the maximum moving speed and some Pvp advantages. Yet. If you want your Fenrir to increase your stats, you will need to go through another combination. You can choose (based on your actual stats) if you want your Fenrir to "protect you" (Blue Fenrir), or if you want it to increase your damage (Black Fenrir). For the Blue Fenrir (absorbs 10% of damage) you need your Red Fenrir, 5 JOLs, 1 Jewel of Chaos and 1 Set Item+4 +4add minimum (armor/gloves/shield etc). The combination has 79% chance of success. If you want the Black Fenrir (Increases Damage +10%), you need to replace the Set Item with a Weapon, same 79% chance. There is a Golden Fenrir too, a pet which can be won by participating at Staff Events. I left a link at the end of this tutorial. 
You can restore the Fenrir's HP by dragging a Jewel of Bless into it. For the rest of the pets, you can do nothing to heal them up, for now.
 
***
 
You can evolve your character by making some special quests. Usually you have to do these quests in order to be able to use better spells and better gear.
 
First Quest:
In order to Upgrade your class, you have to be at least at level 150, then Warp into Devias then go to Sebina the Priest (Devias, 185 30). This quest is available only for Dark Knight, Dark Wizard,  Elf ,  and Summoner.
In the first part of this quest you will be asked to find the "Scroll of Emperor". This quest item is usually dropped in LostTower 1~3, by killing mobs.
After finding the Scroll, for part 2 you will be asked to find another item, which usually drops in LostTower 7 and sometimes in Tarkan/Aida.
After finishind the quest you will upgrade as follows: Dark Knight into Blade Knight (BK), Dark Wizard into Soul Master (SM),  Elf into Muse Elfe (ME) ,  and Summoner into Bloody Summoner (BS).
 
Marlon Quest:
Located random in Devias(185 30) or Lorencia(130 85) or Noria(170 90) or Atlans(20 25).
Again available only for BK, SM, Elf, Summ. At level 220, you need to complete this Marlon Quest, in order to be able to get 6 points per level instead 5, from now on (or 4 instead of 3, depending on the server). You will be asked to find the "Ring of Honor", which usually drops in Tarkan.
Now there is a part two of this quest, but available only for BK. The players will need to find the Dark Stone (drops also in Tarkan).After delivering the Dark Stone to Marlon, the BK will learn to do a combo. Combo is the specific skill for the BK class, and you can do a Combo by combining some spells (without failure). The basic Combo is done by using the Weapon Skill + Twisting Slash Skill + Death Stab skill. You can explore more combinations of skills.
MG/DL/RF can not do this quest at all since they already get 7 points per level.
Warning: It is almost mandatory to do this quest since your first reset, since you cannot get the lost points back if you do reset.
 
Third Quest [Hard]:
Now this quest is available for all classes and it can vary depending on the server type. 
You can start the first part at level 380 by going to Apostle Devin, Lorencia, near bar. He will tell you to bring 3 items:
- Flame of Death Beam Knight, dropped only by the Death Beam Knight in Tarkan2 around 175 215
- Horn of Hell Maine, dropped only by the Hell Maine in Aida2 around 115 65
- Feather of Phoenix, dropped only by Phoenix of Darkness in Icarus around 40 200
That's the hardest part of the quest, the items can be dropped in few hours to few days.
After delivering the quest items, you will be asked to be level 400 in order to proceed.
The Apostle will tell you to kill 20 x each monster from Barracks. The NPC for warping into Barracks is situated in CryWolf(60 235) or near Lorencia Bar. 
For the third part you will need to kill the Dark Elf in Refuge. So you will need to head back to Barracks, and to go to the Refuge Gate at the end of Barracks(120 170). Inside you will find the Dark Elf.
By finishing the 3rd Quest, you will evolve, and you will unlock the Master Skill Tree (Press A). You gain master points by killing specific Master Level (ML) mobs. 
Maximum ML : ~200
!!! I strongly recommend you to test each upgrade of the skill tree (and not only) on the Test server in order to make sure that you will actually obtain the desired result!

About the in-game events:
-Chaos Castle: 
You can find the invitation for Chaos Castle (CC) at the shop from Lore Bar (Armor of Guardsman is the item).
As you can see if you click on the Invitation, there are 7 CCs, 1 for each different level range. This invitation works for any level -only for CC, for other events you will need to craft the right invitation for your level- .
Inside CC you will have to wait until registering stops (multiple players can join), and you will have a specific skin (so it will be quite hard to distinguish the players from mobs). Mobs have a very high chance to drop jewels inside CC.
There will be a total of 100 characters (players+mobs), and the last standing man is the winner. The winner has a reward (from jwls to ancient items, etc). So you go CC for farming items/jwls.
 
-Blood Castle:
For Blood Castle (BC), you need to craft the right invitation based on your level (check server details for the required levels, or simply ask a player). Let's say that you have level X and you need the BC Y invitation. You need to find Blood Bone +Y and Scroll of Archangel +Y. Take these 2 items and a Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin in Noria, hit the Regular Combination button and voila. Then right click on the invitation when you are in safe-zone to Warp into BC.
There the main goal is to cross the bridge, destroy the gate, and destroy the statue that will appear up on the throne, after killing some mobs. The player that destroys the statue will acquire the Weapon of Archangel, and he need to bring it back to the starting zone and click on the Archangel to get the reward and end the event. You can team up with your party against other players/parties. 
The experience gained in BC is being usually doubled, so you can use this event for level up too.
 
-Devil Square:
Just like for BC, you will need to craft the right Devil Square (DS) invitation for your level. You will need Devil's Eye, Devil's Key and a Jewel of Chaos for your Goblin combination.
Inside DS the experience gained is being doubled, and the mobs might drop some end-tier spells, besides jewels and ancient items, etc.
You can team up with your party for a faster kill. This event is used for leveling up.
 
-Golden Invasions:
From time to time, some maps will be invaded by some Golden Creatures (a message will be displayed on global chat). You need to find and kill these Goldens in order to receive some rewards. One of the basic rewards for killing these Goldens is the Box of Kundun (BOK). The level range for BOK is 1 ~ 5, depending on the level of the Golden that you have killed. By dropping this BOK, you will find an Excellent Item. Hunt more Goldens for finding all the items / weapons from a set. 
Details about spawn points and drop list at Info for each server.
Also, check the server info for more invasions, like Rabbits, White Wizard, etc.
 
-Illusion Temple:
Once the event start has been announced you have 5 minutes time to go to the Illusion Temple NPC (Elbeland 55 240) and register for the level/reset range you are in. The event consists out of two teams(randomly generated - max 2 teams of 5 ppl) who will try to get as many items from the Stone Henge NPC as possible. Once a player has received the item he will be slowed. Returning the item to the base camp will get the team 1 point. The players will not be able to use their skills in battle. They will be granted skills only when killing adversaries. Also the players look will change just like in chaos castle.
When you enter you are warped inside the waiting room until illusion temple starts, when it starts teams are putted together 'alliance' and 'illusion' team. Teams are random meaning u cannot chose your ally nor your opponent. In illusion temple the purpose of the game is to capture the 'illusion temple ball' located in the north and in the south of the map you must return these to a container at your starting place

Note: your running speed while carrying the ball will decrease dramatically making u slow and easy to catch
When the ball carrier is killed he drops the ball. When you return the ball to your starting place your team will gain 1 point. Max points: 7

When you kill an opponent you will gain 5 killpoints, this being your personal score and not from the team. These points are to use special abilities inside illusion temple.
Magic shield order: 5p. Function: Prevents 100% of DMG, duration 15 sec; Resistance order: 5p. Function: Paralyzes the enemy for 15 sec; Tracking order: 10p. Function: teleports you to the Ball; Freeze time: 5p. Function: Takes enemy 50% of SD.

Once the event starts, players who are in are assigned to a random team and get a team uniform.
For each opposing player killed, the killing team gets five skill points which can be spent to temporarily improve their character during the event. On top of killing other players, there are 2 statues located in the event map, each holding an event ball.
Each team's base also comes equipped with a pedestal, where players can bring back the event balls for points. Once a ball is taken from a status, both statues disappear. 

They reappear again once a team returns the ball to their respective base.
The first team which is able to return the ball seven times first wins. So not only is it important to kill the opposing team as much as possible, but to also gather as many event balls as possible while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The ball carrier will move in slow motion, so it's important for his or her teammates to work together to protect the ball carrier from the opposing team. Once a ball carrier is killed, disconnected or leaves the event, the ball will fall to the ground and is able to be picked up by any player on either team.
 
-CryWolf Event:
This event happens twice a week. 
In CryWolf is a Statue with some pedestals. At the beginning, at least one ELF has to stand on a random pedestal during the whole event. The last ELF mustn't move or die, because the event will be canceled. The Kundun army will spawn, and the rest of the players must defeat the army, and protect the Elves on pedestals and the Statue. Each mob kill has a nice reward, plus, if the event is finished, the WHOLE SERVER will get some bonus exp (for example, on Phoenix you get 15% bonus exp after finishing CW event).
 
-Refinery Tower:
Refinery Tower is the place where you can refine Gemstones, and turn them to Jewels of Harmony (with an 80% chance of success). The Refinery Tower entrance is located in Kanturu Relics(140 185). Sometimes the refinery is open(meaning that the Refinery Event was finished before by another player/s).
If you find the Refinery Tower closed, you have to complete the event.
First of all, you will need a Moonstone Pendant equipped, which drops in the same map from regular mobs. After acquiring the pendant, you have to wait for the gate to be opened. Once you are inside, you will fight Maya's hands and minions. After defeating them, you have to face the boss, Nightmare, which drops nice rewards when killed. After Nightmare is killed, the Refinery Tower will be open again for everyone for a certain amount of time.
 
-Castle Siege:
This event has a dedicated topic, since our system is unique. Check the forum info for your server !
 
***
 
-Wings:
Wings are special items that can be obtained by farming and upgrading another items. There are multiple kind of wings: Small Wings, Level 1 Wings, Level 2 Wings, Level 3 Wings, Level 4 Wings.
The rate of success for wings is influenced by the items that are used.
For example, the small wings will be dropped from one of the rings that you will find in your inventory when you first log in to the game. You need to be at least level 80 to be able to drop this ring.
For Wings lvl 1 you need to combine some low tier items at the Goblin(Noria). Wings level 2, 3, 4 are just upgrades from wings lvl 1, and you need to acquire certain items for each upgrade.
I will give an example of basic Wings lvl 1 combination:
Careful, DL / RF cannot equip any level 1 Wings !
Below you will find info about some jewels too.
First you need to go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Chaos Weapon Combination button. For this combination you'll need an item at least +4 and +4 Additional Dmg/Def (add). I suggest you to use an item dropped by a Medal. But you can also upgrade an item to +4 (or more) using Jewel of Bless and Jewel of Soul. You can upgrade your item to +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 with Jewel of Bless in a 100% safe way. Just drag it into the item. You can't go higher than +6 with Jewel of Bless. From +6 to +9 you will need to use the Jewel of Soul, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0). 
If you want to some Additional Damage / Def (ADD) for your item, you need to use a Jewel of Life (JOL). By dragging the JOL into the item you will sum +4 ADD. If you drag another JOL your item will go to +8 ADD, etc.
Careful, the JOL can also downgrade the ADD (from +4 add to +0, +12 to +8, +12 to +0, etc).
Max ADD on items: Usually +28
Max ADD for Goblin: +16. If you upgrade your items up to +16, your general chance for Chaos Combinations will be increased. If you exceed +16 ADD (+20, +24, +28), your item ADD will be count as 0 or smth.
So for our Chaos Weapon Combination we need an item at least +4 and +4 add and a Jewel of Chaos. You can raise the levels of the items for a better chance of success. I have used a Plate Helm +8 +12add for a 62% chance of success, then I used a JOL to upgrade the add to +16 for a 100% chance of succes and the Chaos Weapon has been created. I got it +2 and +0 add. For the next step we need again our Chaos Weapon to be at least +4 and +4 add. You can upgrade your current Chaos weapon with Bless, Soul and JOL or you can go for another combination. I'll go for another combination. Damn, I got a new Chaos Weapon, but this time it's +1 and +0 add. Better upgrade the previous one from +2 and +0 add to +4 and +4 add. 
For step 2 I will use the +4 and +4 add Chaos weapon to create the wings. Click on the Goblin, and hit the Regular Combination button. Now insert your Chaos Weapon and a Jewel of Chaos to create the wings. But wait, my chance of success now is only 11%. I will upgrade the Weapon to +5. Meh, not good, 13%. I will upgrade the ADD to +8. 19%. We need more. Wait, there says that if I add a Jewel of Bless or Soul to the combination the rate will increase. Let's see. 24% with a Jewel of Bless. 28% with both Bless and Soul. We need more. There says that we can add a +4 and +4 add item to increase the rate. I will find another item. I just got a Lightning Sword +5 and +4 add. 46%. I need a better item. By the time I got me another Lightning Sword +7 + add 4. Let's try the combination with this new sword. 68%. And if I add my old Lightning Sword +5+add4 I get 86%. I just hit the Combine button, and I got some Wings Level 1 for Elf.
If your combination succeeds, you can get Wings of Satan (for Dark Knight / Magic Gladiator), Wings of Heaven (Dark Wizard / Magic Gladiator), or wings of Elf, random.
Now we can equip our wings (if they're matching our class), or we can trade them.
 
Wings level 2 are just an upgrade from wings level 1. Now DL and RF can create their own wings(capes).
If you want to upgrade your lvl 1 wings to lvl 2, you will need a Feather (for BK, SM, MG, ELF and Summ) or a Crest of Monarch (for DL / RF). Both the Feather and the Crest of Monarch can be found in Icarus by killing mobs.
Your need 1st quest to be able equip these wings.
I suggest you to raise the add of the Wings to +12 or +16 for a higher chance.
I have a pair of lvl 1 wings of Elf +1 +12 add, 1 chaos and 1 Feather. My chance is 53%.
There it says that I can add again an item to increase the rate. But this time it has to be an Excellent item.
Luckily I already have a Skull Shield +7 +luck +add8 +zen and I get a 87% chance and I got some Summoner Wings level 2 +HP.
Again, the wings will be random (in case of success). For DL / RF capes use Crest of Monarch instead of Feather.
 
Wings level 3
For wings level 3 you need 3rd quest in order to be able to equip 'em.
You need these items for your Chaos Combination:
-Condor's Flame: has a very low drop rate in Swamp
-Feather of Condor: you need to craft this item
-1 Jewel of Chaos
-1 bundle of 10 Bless
-1 bundle of 10 Soul
-1 Jewel of Creation
-an Excellent item +9 +add4 at least
The max rate of success for Wings level 3 is 40%.
Feather of Condor combination ingredients (max rate of succes 60%) : Wings lvl 2 +9 +add4 (you don't need more for wings) + Ancient item +7 +add4 (at least) + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 bundle of 10 Soul.
Tip: always use +16 add on items for the best success rate at Chaos Combination (where the ADD does matter for the combination)
I suggest you to use high-tier ancient items (Hyon Sword or/and Gywen Bow) at least +9 +add16 for a higher chance. For example with Wings of Dragon +9 +add4, 1 bundle of 10 soul, 1 chaos, 1 creation and 1 Hyon Sword +9 +add16 I get 30% chance of succes. If I add another Hyon Sword +9+add16 I get 60% chance of Succes.
Another way to increase your chance is to upgrade your ancient item to +10. With only 1 Hyon Sword +10 +add16 I get 53% chance of succes.
After crafting the Feather, we can go back to our basic combination: Condor's Flame, Feather of Condor, 1 Jewel of Chaos, 1 bundle of 10 Bless, 1 bundle of 10 Soul, 1 Jewel of Creation and an Excellent items +9 +add4 at least.
For this combination I have a Rune Blade +9 +add16. My chance of success is 25%. I suggest you to use MG weapons for this combination. 
I can upgrade my Rune Blade to +10 for a 38% chance of succes or bring another Exc item +9 +add16.
If your combination succeeds, you will acquire a pair of random Wings level 3 (Capes for DL / RF included now) with random options. I just got a Cape of Emperor +ignore for DL with 38% chance of success.
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into the combination will disappear.
For Wings level 4 we have a special topic, please check it out.

About Gens:
Maybe you have noticed that you can not access the "Battle" maps. That's because on these maps only the members of Gens are allowed. Gens is a PvP system,  and you can earn contribution points and reward from PvP against the opposing Gens. There are 2 Gens families: Vanert and Duprian. You can join any Gens family by going to the special gens NPC, near Lorencia Ring. After you have joined a family, you will free PK the opp family in the battle maps, and you can't see opps names on battle maps.

We also want to offer you the best gameplay, so we have created a Special Series of Events, made by staff.
More details here ----> https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/1651-osp-weekly-events-monthly-competition-legends-group/
 
This is only the basic guide for you to start.We strongly  recommend you to browse the info for your server! Google is sometimes a good source too.
 
I will let this topic open for any questions .
 

Hello,
The Public Test Server for Phoenix has been released.

Happy birthday, Alex ! Today you're not ADMIN anymore, today you are our close friend.

Hello to everybody!
This guide is mostly addressing to the new players of MU, but not only!
After watching the videos about MU online on YouTube, many of you might question yourself about the gameplay. I will try to describe the gameplay and what you have to do.
First of all, we'll start with some details about the gameplay as a genre:
In MU Online, like in most MMORPGs, players have to create a character among seven different classes and to set their foot on the MU Continent. In order to gain experience and thus to level up, a player needs to fight monsters (mobs). MU is populated by a large variety of monsters, from simple ones like goblins and golems, to frightening ones such as the Gorgon, Kundun or Selupan. Each monster-type is unique, has different spawn points, and drops different items. Outside of a duel, PvP fighting is possible but "discouraged". When one player attacks another, a self-defense system is activated, in which the attacked player may kill the aggressor within a time limit. Self-defense is also activated when a player attacks an Elf's summoned creature. Outlaws have disadvantages during game play, depending on their Outlaw level.
At the start of the game the players can choose between four different character classes - Dark Wizard, Dark Knight, Elf, and Summoner. Players can unlock a Magic Gladiator, a RageFighter and a Dark Lord as they progress. Each class has its specific powers and items. As characters level up and complete quests, they can transform themselves into stronger classes. Each progressive class change grants, gain access to new spells, skills, weapons and wings as well as an associated change in appearance.
Mu Online has a built-in chat system that allows all visible players to easily communicate via text. Users can add custom players to their Friends List in-order to make it easy to keep in contact with one-another.
I will start with the the "mechanical" part of the game, then we'll talk about the gameplay.
Like most MMO games, characters in MU can use many different kinds of magic and special abilities. Each character has its own set of spells and some weapons may be enchanted in order to provide the character with a specific spell. Casting a spell costs MP (mana, or magic point) and sometimes AG or stamina.

Some hot-keys:
At the beginning you need to access your stats and inventory. You can do this by pressing C(here the level is displayed, your stats, etc) and V (inventory). In inventory you will find 2 rings, from where you can drop some nice starting items, but you can throw them on level 40 and on level 80. Each item occupies a number of slots from inventory. Above these slots you can equip items for your character, taking into account what you can wear and what you can not. Below you will find the amount of Zen that you posses. The Zen is used for teleporting, buying items from shops, item crafting, etc. There is a "plus" button too, it is the extended inventory, which drops in Karutan2. You can also sell items to shops for Zen.
As you progress in level, you will unlock the "Repair" and "Store" options, also included in the inventory screen. - This should happen really fast.
By unlocking the Repair function, you don't need to go to the BlackSmith shop anymore to repair items, you can do it by yourself (zen is used).
By unlocking the Store function, you can sell items to other players for zen. Just drag and drop the item that you want to sell into the store and set its price(right click). You can choose your store name too.
 
F - Friends / mail function, from level 6
H - Event planner, displays the starting hour for some events
D - Multitask bar, where you can request a player to Trade / Buy Store / Party / PM/ Request to join Guild etc., by selecting the wanted option and right click on the player
Enter - Chat
Printscreen button, saves the screenshot directly into your MU folder->Screenshots, no other software needed
F1 - Help Box, press F1 in game for even more very useful hot-keys. You can press multiple times
F10 - 3D Camera ON/OFF
F11- Reset 3D Camera
F12- Minimize the game
M - Warping Menu
A - Master Level, after completing Quest 3

If you want to buy Healing Potions, Mana potions, some items/spells , you need to search the safezones of some cities for NonPlayerCharacters that are selling these things for zen.
You have an account Valut(Stash), where you can deposit your items. These items can be shared with your characters from the same account. It is located in almost every safezone of a city ( Safety Guardian is the name of the NPC).
You can also find the Chaos Goblin in Noria, for some combinations (upgrade items from +9 to +15 / creating wings / etc), Lahap in Elbeland, for stacking the jewels.
In the upper left corner, the coordinates for the current map are displayed.
Players can choose to team up with other players in a "party", in which players cooperate against enemy monsters to share and increase exp and loot.

The main goal of this game is to reach level 400. Based on that, our community offers you multiple type of gameplay choices: Inception, Phoenix and the *Wormhole concept. We have some vaulted versions too (like Non-Reset, which might be back some day).
Phoenix (Non-Reset with Optional resets type of gameplay): After your reach level 400 and finish your quests, you can farm your wanted items, you can go for Master Level (the 200th level is achieved by completing different tasks/quests), hunt events, PVP, etc. OR to reset to level 1 (you keep the items and ML), with a stats reset to level 1 (you get a low amount of bonus points, ~100) and you start over. There is a limited number of resets (~10). 
Inception (Multiple Resets type of gameplay): Same as Phoenix, but at level 400 you can reset you character to level 1 in order to start with a bigger amount of bonus points(~1000). Usually there are around 35 resets possible.
*Special *WormHole: The WormHole Concept, also known as Inception's kid, is a low term server (~60 days) where the gameplay is mostly the same as the one from Inception, but with limited access to some game items/features, and after some time (~50 days) you will be able to transfer your character to Inception. It is basically a wormhole for those who arrive later on Inception but want to still hit the top.
You can find all these servers here -----> https://mu.oldsquad.ro
Choose the right one for you ! 
**Note: Phoenix's exp rate is lower than Inception's, because we had to create balance for all the gameplays.

After you have joined MU and you have already chose a character, it's time to go kill some mobs for level up. You can only kill just a few monsters with your bare hands. You will need spells, items, potions, and, the most important thing, another players. You can create 2 accounts which can be connected at the same time, so you can start with multiple characters (much easier for you to level up, farm, etc.).
I suggest you to read the info for your chosen version of server on forum.
First you jump in the game, click the Elf Soldier (Shadow Phantom Soldier) to receive some bonus damage/defense, then you go to kill some mobs for level up. After killing some mobs, you will notice that you are not killing fast enough, so you need to search for some spells. Maybe you will find some in the shops. You can find shops in many maps, in safezones. You can buy some starting items from there, and some potions of healing and mana too. Shops are NPCs which are selling items to you for a certain amount of zen (zen is dropping from mobs). After you find some spells (don't worry if you won't find too many spells in shops, the most of spells are dropping from mobs in certain maps/spots) you can level up easier.
By the time you are leveling up, you must also search/obtain better items. There are items designed for each class (as well as spells). 
Items are classified as follows:
-Weapons:
On each weapon the damage and the required stats are displayed if you move your cursor on it. *Note regarding required stats: the game will sometimes display a smaller required number than the real one, unfortunately unfixable atm, but you can check the required stats on the test server: 
 
Swords/Blades/Maces/Staffs/Scepters, each designed for a certain class.
Tip: There are 2 types of damage received from weapons: normal damage, and wizardry damage(rise). If your character is a "warrior" type character (Dark Knight, Strength Magic Gladiator, etc), the damage that you are looking for is the normal one, written at one or two handed attack power. But if your character is a "mage" type character (Dark Wizard, Energy Magic Gladiator, Summoner, etc), you need to take into account the wizardry damage, not the normal attack power of the item.
-Set Items:
Armors/Helmets/Boots/Gloves/Pants/Shields. each designed for a certain class, having the defense and the required stats displayed if you move your cursor on it.
Some of the items are normal, just as listed above, while other items can be Excellent items (like the normal items, but here some options are added to the item, for example Increased Damage for weapons and decreased damage for set items. These options are upgrading the normal items to excellent items. You can not add or remove any options from an item), Ancient items (normal items with lots of extra options, organized in sets of multiple items -you need to find more items from a certain set in order for the options to be active-) and Socket Items (special items, on which you can add your desired options in the free slots).
Each kind of item is obtained in a different way, more details about the drops and item tiers at the Info&Rules section (Make sure that you are reading the right topic for your previously chosen server).
-Rings / Pendants : Rings are used like set items and pendants are giving bonus damage.
 
A much easier way to level up is when you are AFK, and we have a clicker implemented in our client, press Z in-game.
If you want to upgrade an item, you need jewels.
You can farm most of the items/jewels by participating at in-game events (Chaos Castle, Blood Caste, Devil Square, Invasions, etc). Some of the events can be used for leveling up too. 
You will team up with some players to compete against other players at these events.
You can create / join a guild. A guild is your "team" of players. After teaming up with your guild mates, you will unite your forces with them to conquer the Land of MU. There are lots of hot features and events for guild members.

Types of jewels:
-Jewel of Bless: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Soul: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Life: used to increase the ADD option of an item, and sometimes for some mixes
-Jewel of Chaos: used in mixes, it's the key jewel for almost any mix
-Jewel of Creation: used in mixes
-Gemstone: unrefined Jewel of Harmony
-Jewel of Harmony: used to add the harmony(yellow) option, and for some mixes
-Jewel of Guardian: used for Purple Option Mix
 
***
 
Upgrading items:
You can upgrade the level of an item by using some Jewels (Bless, Soul).
Let's say that you are a Dark Knight and you have found an Excellent Lightning Sword +luck +opt. The damage shown is 89~97.For example, if you want to increase the damage of the sword (thus the level of the item) you can drag a Jewel of Bless into the item. Now the item level is +1 and the displayed damage is 92~100. You can upgrade your items up to +15.
You can use Jewel of Bless to upgrade your item to +6, 100% chance of success.
You can use Jewel of Soul to upgrade your item from +6 to +9,  or from +1 to +9, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0).
If you want to go higher with the level of the item (+10, +11, .. , +15), you need to go to the Chaos Goblin in Noria(180 100) and hit the Regular Combination button, then give your +9 item to the Goblin, besides a Jewel of Bless, a Jewel of Soul and a Jewel of Chaos. Attention : A chance of success will be displayed by the Goblin. If your combination fails, your item will disappear. For the +11 combination you will need the +10 item + 2xJewel of Bless + 2xJewel of Soul + 1xJewel of chaos and so on, up to +15. *There is a special talisman used to make the item remain in case of a fail, but you will find it during gameplay.
Now if you have a Jewel of Life(JOL) you can drag it into an item to upgrade its Additional Damage/Def (ADD). If you don't have the ADD option, then the JOL will create it (+4). If you add another JOL the add might go to +8, but it can downgrade the item too, just like Jewel of Soul does.
 
***
 
Item options (for better understanding the difference between the item classes) :
You will find items in the game. Let's say that you find a Small Axe (with the displayed damage 1~6) - this is a normal item.
Normal items can have only 2 kind of extra options: Luck and ADD(Additional Damage/Defense)
But if you find an Excellent Small Axe, by picking it up you will see that an Excellent option is displayed (like damage decreased for set items and Increased Damage for weapons). This "excellent" option is what makes a normal item to be an excellent one. You will also notice that the damage for Excellent Small Axe is 31~36.
Excellent items can have Luck+add+max 2 exc options (and minimum 1 exc option).
Ancient items: Items dropped in specific locations, organized in sets (an ancient set can have different items) for activation. 
For example, the Hyon Set for Dark Knight has 4 components: Hyon Sword + Hyon Helm + Hyon Gloves + Hyon boots. If you only have 1 part of the set equipped, no ancient options are active. If you will equip another part, the first ancient option will be activated. If you equip the 3rd part, 2 option are active, and when you equip the final part, all the ancient options will be activated.
You can combine the ancient sets for various options (Hyon+Vicious).
Socket items: items dropped in specific locations (level required: 400). These items are normal items (can have Luck and ADD) with some empty slots, slots that you can fill with your chosen options. You need to craft specific items for filling these slots.
Plus, if you have a Jewel of Harmony, you can drag it into a normal or an Excellent item (not working for ancient/socket items) to add the harmony option to the item. You can increase the level of the yellow option by adding Higher of Lower Refinery Stones into the item. You can obtain these stones from Osbourne(Aida), by transforming some random items. You must increase the level of the item if you want to use refinery stones. For example, if you use a JOH for yellow option and you get let's say Damage Decrement Increase. If your item level is 0~9 you will have DDI 3%. If you upgrade your item to +10 you will be able to use a refinery stone to upgrade the DDI to +4%, and so on until +13. At +13 your DDI level will be 7%. These are the default values, you might encounter different upgrade level requirements for different yellow options on our servers.
There are several harmony options, so in order to remove your harmony option (if it's shitty), to be able to add another one, you have to go to Jerridon in Aida.
Even more, if you have a Jewel of Guardian (dropped in specific locations), a jewel of Harmony and a 380 level item, you can go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Item Option Combination, then combine these 3 items for obtaining the 380 Purple Option.
*Options on Excellent items:
An Excellent item can have a maximum of 2 options (some exceptions when you use Lord Mix).
For Set items:
-Increase Max HP +4% 
-Increase Max Mana +4%
-Damage Decrease +4% (received damage)
-Reflect Damage +5%
-Defense Success Rate +10% (mobs only)
-Increase Zen after killing mobs +30%
For Weapons:
-Excellent Damage Rate +10%
-Increase Damage +2%
-Increase Damage + lvl/20
-Increase Speed (Wizardry) +7
-Increase Life after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
-Increase Mana after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
*Options on ancient items:
Each ancient set has its own options, and there are multiple sets for each class of characters.
Example of bonus options for Hyon Set (BK):
-Increase Defensive Skill +25
-Double Damage Rate 10%
-Increase Skill Attacking Rate +20
-Increase Critical Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Excellent Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Critical Damage +20
-Increase Excellent Damage +20
Note: These options will activate once you equip each item.
*Options on Socket items:
Adding options into a Socket item is not an easy job, since these items can be equipped at level 400 (end-game items). I suggest you to skip this step for now, and come back again at the right time (when you will actually own a Socket Item).
The maximum number of slots for a Socket item is different for each server. For this tutorial, let's consider that the maximum number of slots is 3. You must add some "Seeds", containing options, into these items.
Let's suppose that we have have in inventory an ordinary Socket item (Royal Armor for DL) +3 empty slots (the item can have luck and ADD, but it does not matter). 
There are 6 types of seeds, each type having its own possible options:
  Type Options   Fire Attack/Wizardry damage increase (pro rata to level) 
Attack speed increase 
Maximum attack/Wizardry damage increase 
Attack/Wizardry damage increase   Water Defense success rate increase 
Defense increase 
Shield defense increase 
Damage reduction 
Damage reflection   Earth Stamina increase   Wind Life auto recovery increase 
Maximum Life increase 
Maximum Mana increase 
Automatic Mana recovery increase 
Maximum AG increase 
AG value increase   Lightening Excellent damage increase 
Excellent damage rate increase 
Critical damage increase 
Critical damage success rate increase 
    Ice Skill damage increase 
Attack success rate increase 
Item durability increase
 
First of all we need to craft a Seed. We can find the Seed Master in Elbeland(45 240), and choose the Seed Extraction button. For the Seed combination we need: any kind of ancient item +4(no ancient rings/pendants) + any kind of excellent item +4(no exc rings/pendants) + 1 Jewel of Harmony + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 Jewel of Chaos.
I have used a Mist Helm +4(ancient item) + an exc Dragon Armor +ref + 1 JOH + 1 creation + 1 chaos. All the seed extractions will have an 80% chance of success. When it fails, all the jewels will disappear and Ancient and Excellent items will randomly downgrade to level 0~2.
I just got an Increase Max Life Seed. 
The next step is to combine the Seed with a Sphere (which drops at specific locations). The better quality(level) the sphere has, the stronger option it will induce. Let's consider the max level for the sphere to be 4.
Take the Seed, the Sphere, 1 chaos , 1 creation back to the Seed Master and hit the Seed Sphere Assembly.
When it's successful : 
A seed sphere will be created. Once this is mounted to a socket item, it will give the item that special option. 
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into combination will disappear.
I have used a level 4 Sphere, and now my Seed in Sphere is Increase Maximum Life +8%. 
For level 3 sphere: Increase HP +7%, 6% for level 2 and 5% for level 1.
After you got this, all you need to do is to mount it to the item, with 100% chance of success. Go to the Seed Researcher in Elbeland(50 240), choose the first option and you got it. You can also remove Seeds from Sockets at the Seed Researcher.
!!! The Bonus for Socket items:
You will get some bonuses if you place the seeds in items as it's displayed in the next table:
 

 
As you see, some bonuses have a chance of success. So if you've placed the seeds as it's written in the table and your item is not showing the bonus, you can replace one random seed with the same seed or the same type of seed.

About Pets:
Pets are used by players to get more damage / defense. The pets are mostly used only in PvE (because they die fast PvP), but not only.
What pets can you find / craft:
-Guardian Angel, can be found. Bonuses by equipping a Guardian Angel: Absorb 20% of Damage; Increases max HP +50. Minimum level required: 23. Careful, this pet dies fast PvP !
-Imp (Satan), can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +30%. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP too.
-Demon, can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +40%; Attack Speed +10. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Uniria, can be found. Bonuses: Increases the moving speed. Min req lvl: 25. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Dinorant, needs to be crafted at the Chaos Goblin (Noria). You need 10 Horns of Uniria and a Jewel of Chaos (75% success rate). Bonuses: lets you fly ( if you don't have wings and you need to go in Icarus); Increase Damage +15%; Absorb 10% of Damage. Min req lvl: 110. Dies fast at PvP
-Horn of Fenrir, needs to be crafted. The Fenrir is the most powerful pet from MU, and it can be used for PvP (it dies pretty hard). For the crafting, you need multiple items. First of all you will need craft 5 Fragments of Horn. A Fragment of Horn can be made by combining 20xSplinter of Armor + 20xBless of Guardian+1 Jewel of Chaos (the splinter of armor and the bless of guardian are dropping in certain maps, usually KalimaX or Crywolf depending on the server) at the Chaos Goblin with 60% success rate. After you have 5 of this Fragments of Horn, you will need to search again that map for 10xClaw of Beast. Take the Claws and the Fragments of Horn and 1 Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin and combine them all together for a Broken Horn (50% chance of success). If you got the Broken Horn, you are at the last step. You need to combine this Broken Horn with 3 JOLs and 1 Jewel of Chaos (30% success rate). If you combination succeeds, you will get the most desired Horn of Fenrir (Red). The Red Fenrir does not offer any advantages, besides the maximum moving speed and some Pvp advantages. Yet. If you want your Fenrir to increase your stats, you will need to go through another combination. You can choose (based on your actual stats) if you want your Fenrir to "protect you" (Blue Fenrir), or if you want it to increase your damage (Black Fenrir). For the Blue Fenrir (absorbs 10% of damage) you need your Red Fenrir, 5 JOLs, 1 Jewel of Chaos and 1 Set Item+4 +4add minimum (armor/gloves/shield etc). The combination has 79% chance of success. If you want the Black Fenrir (Increases Damage +10%), you need to replace the Set Item with a Weapon, same 79% chance. There is a Golden Fenrir too, a pet which can be won by participating at Staff Events. I left a link at the end of this tutorial. 
You can restore the Fenrir's HP by dragging a Jewel of Bless into it. For the rest of the pets, you can do nothing to heal them up, for now.

You can evolve your character by making some special quests. Usually you have to do these quests in order to be able to use better spells and better gear.
 
First Quest:
In order to Upgrade your class, you have to be at least at level 150, then Warp into Devias then go to Sebina the Priest (Devias, 185 30). This quest is available only for Dark Knight, Dark Wizard,  Elf ,  and Summoner.
In the first part of this quest you will be asked to find the "Scroll of Emperor". This quest item is usually dropped in LostTower 1~3, by killing mobs.
After finding the Scroll, for part 2 you will be asked to find another item, which usually drops in LostTower 7 and sometimes in Tarkan/Aida.
After finishind the quest you will upgrade as follows: Dark Knight into Blade Knight (BK), Dark Wizard into Soul Master (SM),  Elf into Muse Elfe (ME) ,  and Summoner into Bloody Summoner (BS).
 
Marlon Quest:
Located random in Devias(185 30) or Lorencia(130 85) or Noria(170 90) or Atlans(20 25).
Again available only for BK, SM, Elf, Summ. At level 220, you need to complete this Marlon Quest, in order to be able to get 6 points per level instead 5, from now on (or 4 instead of 3, depending on the server). You will be asked to find the "Ring of Honor", which usually drops in Tarkan.
Now there is a part two of this quest, but available only for BK. The players will need to find the Dark Stone (drops also in Tarkan).After delivering the Dark Stone to Marlon, the BK will learn to do a combo. Combo is the specific skill for the BK class, and you can do a Combo by combining some spells (without failure). The basic Combo is done by using the Weapon Skill + Twisting Slash Skill + Death Stab skill. You can explore more combinations of skills.
MG/DL/RF can not do this quest at all since they already get 7 points per level.
Warning: It is almost mandatory to do this quest since your first reset, since you cannot get the lost points back if you do reset.
 
Third Quest [Hard]:
Now this quest is available for all classes and it can vary depending on the server type. 
You can start the first part at level 380 by going to Apostle Devin, Lorencia, near bar. He will tell you to bring 3 items:
- Flame of Death Beam Knight, dropped only by the Death Beam Knight in Tarkan2 around 175 215
- Horn of Hell Maine, dropped only by the Hell Maine in Aida2 around 115 65
- Feather of Phoenix, dropped only by Phoenix of Darkness in Icarus around 40 200
That's the hardest part of the quest, the items can be dropped in few hours to few days.
After delivering the quest items, you will be asked to be level 400 in order to proceed.
The Apostle will tell you to kill 20 x each monster from Barracks. The NPC for warping into Barracks is situated in CryWolf(60 235) or near Lorencia Bar. 
For the third part you will need to kill the Dark Elf in Refuge. So you will need to head back to Barracks, and to go to the Refuge Gate at the end of Barracks(120 170). Inside you will find the Dark Elf.
By finishing the 3rd Quest, you will evolve, and you will unlock the Master Skill Tree (Press A). You gain master points by killing specific Master Level (ML) mobs. 
Maximum ML : ~200
!!! I strongly recommend you to test each upgrade of the skill tree (and not only) on the Test server in order to make sure that you will actually obtain the desired result!

About the in-game events:
-Chaos Castle: 
You can find the invitation for Chaos Castle (CC) at the shop from Lore Bar (Armor of Guardsman is the item).
As you can see if you click on the Invitation, there are 7 CCs, 1 for each different level range. This invitation works for any level -only for CC, for other events you will need to craft the right invitation for your level- .
Inside CC you will have to wait until registering stops (multiple players can join), and you will have a specific skin (so it will be quite hard to distinguish the players from mobs). Mobs have a very high chance to drop jewels inside CC.
There will be a total of 100 characters (players+mobs), and the last standing man is the winner. The winner has a reward (from jwls to ancient items, etc). So you go CC for farming items/jwls.
 
-Blood Castle:
For Blood Castle (BC), you need to craft the right invitation based on your level (check server details for the required levels, or simply ask a player). Let's say that you have level X and you need the BC Y invitation. You need to find Blood Bone +Y and Scroll of Archangel +Y. Take these 2 items and a Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin in Noria, hit the Regular Combination button and voila. Then right click on the invitation when you are in safe-zone to Warp into BC.
There the main goal is to cross the bridge, destroy the gate, and destroy the statue that will appear up on the throne, after killing some mobs. The player that destroys the statue will acquire the Weapon of Archangel, and he need to bring it back to the starting zone and click on the Archangel to get the reward and end the event. You can team up with your party against other players/parties. 
The experience gained in BC is being usually doubled, so you can use this event for level up too.
 
-Devil Square:
Just like for BC, you will need to craft the right Devil Square (DS) invitation for your level. You will need Devil's Eye, Devil's Key and a Jewel of Chaos for your Goblin combination.
Inside DS the experience gained is being doubled, and the mobs might drop some end-tier spells, besides jewels and ancient items, etc.
You can team up with your party for a faster kill. This event is used for leveling up.
 
-Golden Invasions:
From time to time, some maps will be invaded by some Golden Creatures (a message will be displayed on global chat). You need to find and kill these Goldens in order to receive some rewards. One of the basic rewards for killing these Goldens is the Box of Kundun (BOK). The level range for BOK is 1 ~ 5, depending on the level of the Golden that you have killed. By dropping this BOK, you will find an Excellent Item. Hunt more Goldens for finding all the items / weapons from a set. 
Details about spawn points and drop list at Info for each server.
Also, check the server info for more invasions, like Rabbits, White Wizard, etc.
 
-Illusion Temple:
Once the event start has been announced you have 5 minutes time to go to the Illusion Temple NPC (Elbeland 55 240) and register for the level/reset range you are in. The event consists out of two teams(randomly generated - max 2 teams of 5 ppl) who will try to get as many items from the Stone Henge NPC as possible. Once a player has received the item he will be slowed. Returning the item to the base camp will get the team 1 point. The players will not be able to use their skills in battle. They will be granted skills only when killing adversaries. Also the players look will change just like in chaos castle.
When you enter you are warped inside the waiting room until illusion temple starts, when it starts teams are putted together 'alliance' and 'illusion' team. Teams are random meaning u cannot chose your ally nor your opponent. In illusion temple the purpose of the game is to capture the 'illusion temple ball' located in the north and in the south of the map you must return these to a container at your starting place

Note: your running speed while carrying the ball will decrease dramatically making u slow and easy to catch
When the ball carrier is killed he drops the ball. When you return the ball to your starting place your team will gain 1 point. Max points: 7

When you kill an opponent you will gain 5 killpoints, this being your personal score and not from the team. These points are to use special abilities inside illusion temple.
Magic shield order: 5p. Function: Prevents 100% of DMG, duration 15 sec; Resistance order: 5p. Function: Paralyzes the enemy for 15 sec; Tracking order: 10p. Function: teleports you to the Ball; Freeze time: 5p. Function: Takes enemy 50% of SD.

Once the event starts, players who are in are assigned to a random team and get a team uniform.
For each opposing player killed, the killing team gets five skill points which can be spent to temporarily improve their character during the event. On top of killing other players, there are 2 statues located in the event map, each holding an event ball.
Each team's base also comes equipped with a pedestal, where players can bring back the event balls for points. Once a ball is taken from a status, both statues disappear. 

They reappear again once a team returns the ball to their respective base.
The first team which is able to return the ball seven times first wins. So not only is it important to kill the opposing team as much as possible, but to also gather as many event balls as possible while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The ball carrier will move in slow motion, so it's important for his or her teammates to work together to protect the ball carrier from the opposing team. Once a ball carrier is killed, disconnected or leaves the event, the ball will fall to the ground and is able to be picked up by any player on either team.
 
-CryWolf Event:
This event happens twice a week. 
In CryWolf is a Statue with some pedestals. At the beginning, at least one ELF has to stand on a random pedestal during the whole event. The last ELF mustn't move or die, because the event will be canceled. The Kundun army will spawn, and the rest of the players must defeat the army, and protect the Elves on pedestals and the Statue. Each mob kill has a nice reward, plus, if the event is finished, the WHOLE SERVER will get some bonus exp (for example, on Phoenix you get 15% bonus exp after finishing CW event).
 
-Refinery Tower:
Refinery Tower is the place where you can refine Gemstones, and turn them to Jewels of Harmony (with an 80% chance of success). The Refinery Tower entrance is located in Kanturu Relics(140 185). Sometimes the refinery is open(meaning that the Refinery Event was finished before by another player/s).
If you find the Refinery Tower closed, you have to complete the event.
First of all, you will need a Moonstone Pendant equipped, which drops in the same map from regular mobs. After acquiring the pendant, you have to wait for the gate to be opened. Once you are inside, you will fight Maya's hands and minions. After defeating them, you have to face the boss, Nightmare, which drops nice rewards when killed. After Nightmare is killed, the Refinery Tower will be open again for everyone for a certain amount of time.
 
-Castle Siege:
This event has a dedicated topic, since our system is unique. Check the forum info for your server !
 
***
 
-Wings:
Wings are special items that can be obtained by farming and upgrading another items. There are multiple kind of wings: Small Wings, Level 1 Wings, Level 2 Wings, Level 3 Wings, Level 4 Wings.
The rate of success for wings is influenced by the items that are used.
For example, the small wings will be dropped from one of the rings that you will find in your inventory when you first log in to the game. You need to be at least level 80 to be able to drop this ring.
For Wings lvl 1 you need to combine some low tier items at the Goblin(Noria). Wings level 2, 3, 4 are just upgrades from wings lvl 1, and you need to acquire certain items for each upgrade.
I will give an example of basic Wings lvl 1 combination:
Careful, DL / RF cannot equip any level 1 Wings !
Below you will find info about some jewels too.
First you need to go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Chaos Weapon Combination button. For this combination you'll need an item at least +4 and +4 Additional Dmg/Def (add). I suggest you to use an item dropped by a Medal. But you can also upgrade an item to +4 (or more) using Jewel of Bless and Jewel of Soul. You can upgrade your item to +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 with Jewel of Bless in a 100% safe way. Just drag it into the item. You can't go higher than +6 with Jewel of Bless. From +6 to +9 you will need to use the Jewel of Soul, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0). 
If you want to some Additional Damage / Def (ADD) for your item, you need to use a Jewel of Life (JOL). By dragging the JOL into the item you will sum +4 ADD. If you drag another JOL your item will go to +8 ADD, etc.
Careful, the JOL can also downgrade the ADD (from +4 add to +0, +12 to +8, +12 to +0, etc).
Max ADD on items: Usually +28
Max ADD for Goblin: +16. If you upgrade your items up to +16, your general chance for Chaos Combinations will be increased. If you exceed +16 ADD (+20, +24, +28), your item ADD will be count as 0 or smth.
So for our Chaos Weapon Combination we need an item at least +4 and +4 add and a Jewel of Chaos. You can raise the levels of the items for a better chance of success. I have used a Plate Helm +8 +12add for a 62% chance of success, then I used a JOL to upgrade the add to +16 for a 100% chance of succes and the Chaos Weapon has been created. I got it +2 and +0 add. For the next step we need again our Chaos Weapon to be at least +4 and +4 add. You can upgrade your current Chaos weapon with Bless, Soul and JOL or you can go for another combination. I'll go for another combination. Damn, I got a new Chaos Weapon, but this time it's +1 and +0 add. Better upgrade the previous one from +2 and +0 add to +4 and +4 add. 
For step 2 I will use the +4 and +4 add Chaos weapon to create the wings. Click on the Goblin, and hit the Regular Combination button. Now insert your Chaos Weapon and a Jewel of Chaos to create the wings. But wait, my chance of success now is only 11%. I will upgrade the Weapon to +5. Meh, not good, 13%. I will upgrade the ADD to +8. 19%. We need more. Wait, there says that if I add a Jewel of Bless or Soul to the combination the rate will increase. Let's see. 24% with a Jewel of Bless. 28% with both Bless and Soul. We need more. There says that we can add a +4 and +4 add item to increase the rate. I will find another item. I just got a Lightning Sword +5 and +4 add. 46%. I need a better item. By the time I got me another Lightning Sword +7 + add 4. Let's try the combination with this new sword. 68%. And if I add my old Lightning Sword +5+add4 I get 86%. I just hit the Combine button, and I got some Wings Level 1 for Elf.
If your combination succeeds, you can get Wings of Satan (for Dark Knight / Magic Gladiator), Wings of Heaven (Dark Wizard / Magic Gladiator), or wings of Elf, random.
Now we can equip our wings (if they're matching our class), or we can trade them.
 
Wings level 2 are just an upgrade from wings level 1. Now DL and RF can create their own wings(capes).
If you want to upgrade your lvl 1 wings to lvl 2, you will need a Feather (for BK, SM, MG, ELF and Summ) or a Crest of Monarch (for DL / RF). Both the Feather and the Crest of Monarch can be found in Icarus by killing mobs.
Your need 1st quest to be able equip these wings.
I suggest you to raise the add of the Wings to +12 or +16 for a higher chance.
I have a pair of lvl 1 wings of Elf +1 +12 add, 1 chaos and 1 Feather. My chance is 53%.
There it says that I can add again an item to increase the rate. But this time it has to be an Excellent item.
Luckily I already have a Skull Shield +7 +luck +add8 +zen and I get a 87% chance and I got some Summoner Wings level 2 +HP.
Again, the wings will be random (in case of success). For DL / RF capes use Crest of Monarch instead of Feather.
 
Wings level 3
For wings level 3 you need 3rd quest in order to be able to equip 'em.
You need these items for your Chaos Combination:
-Condor's Flame: has a very low drop rate in Swamp
-Feather of Condor: you need to craft this item
-1 Jewel of Chaos
-1 bundle of 10 Bless
-1 bundle of 10 Soul
-1 Jewel of Creation
-an Excellent item +9 +add4 at least
The max rate of success for Wings level 3 is 40%.
Feather of Condor combination ingredients (max rate of succes 60%) : Wings lvl 2 +9 +add4 (you don't need more for wings) + Ancient item +7 +add4 (at least) + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 bundle of 10 Soul.
Tip: always use +16 add on items for the best success rate at Chaos Combination (where the ADD does matter for the combination)
I suggest you to use high-tier ancient items (Hyon Sword or/and Gywen Bow) at least +9 +add16 for a higher chance. For example with Wings of Dragon +9 +add4, 1 bundle of 10 soul, 1 chaos, 1 creation and 1 Hyon Sword +9 +add16 I get 30% chance of succes. If I add another Hyon Sword +9+add16 I get 60% chance of Succes.
Another way to increase your chance is to upgrade your ancient item to +10. With only 1 Hyon Sword +10 +add16 I get 53% chance of succes.
After crafting the Feather, we can go back to our basic combination: Condor's Flame, Feather of Condor, 1 Jewel of Chaos, 1 bundle of 10 Bless, 1 bundle of 10 Soul, 1 Jewel of Creation and an Excellent items +9 +add4 at least.
For this combination I have a Rune Blade +9 +add16. My chance of success is 25%. I suggest you to use MG weapons for this combination. 
I can upgrade my Rune Blade to +10 for a 38% chance of succes or bring another Exc item +9 +add16.
If your combination succeeds, you will acquire a pair of random Wings level 3 (Capes for DL / RF included now) with random options. I just got a Cape of Emperor +ignore for DL with 38% chance of success.
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into the combination will disappear.
For Wings level 4 we have a special topic, please check it out.

About Gens:
Maybe you have noticed that you can not access the "Battle" maps. That's because on these maps only the members of Gens are allowed. Gens is a PvP system,  and you can earn contribution points and reward from PvP against the opposing Gens. There are 2 Gens families: Vanert and Duprian. You can join any Gens family by going to the special gens NPC, near Lorencia Ring. After you have joined a family, you will free PK the opp family in the battle maps, and you can't see opps names on battle maps.

We also want to offer you the best gameplay, so we have created a Special Series of Events, made by staff.
More details here ----> https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/1651-osp-weekly-events-monthly-competition-legends-group/
 
This is only the basic guide for you to start.We strongly  recommend you to browse the info for your server! Google is sometimes a good source too.
 
I will let this topic open for any questions .
 

Hello to everybody!
This guide is mostly addressing to the new players of MU, but not only!
After watching the videos about MU online on YouTube, many of you might question yourself about the gameplay. I will try to describe the gameplay and what you have to do.
First of all, we'll start with some details about the gameplay as a genre:
In MU Online, like in most MMORPGs, players have to create a character among seven different classes and to set their foot on the MU Continent. In order to gain experience and thus to level up, a player needs to fight monsters (mobs). MU is populated by a large variety of monsters, from simple ones like goblins and golems, to frightening ones such as the Gorgon, Kundun or Selupan. Each monster-type is unique, has different spawn points, and drops different items. Outside of a duel, PvP fighting is possible but "discouraged". When one player attacks another, a self-defense system is activated, in which the attacked player may kill the aggressor within a time limit. Self-defense is also activated when a player attacks an Elf's summoned creature. Outlaws have disadvantages during game play, depending on their Outlaw level.
At the start of the game the players can choose between four different character classes - Dark Wizard, Dark Knight, Elf, and Summoner. Players can unlock a Magic Gladiator, a RageFighter and a Dark Lord as they progress. Each class has its specific powers and items. As characters level up and complete quests, they can transform themselves into stronger classes. Each progressive class change grants, gain access to new spells, skills, weapons and wings as well as an associated change in appearance.
Mu Online has a built-in chat system that allows all visible players to easily communicate via text. Users can add custom players to their Friends List in-order to make it easy to keep in contact with one-another.
I will start with the the "mechanical" part of the game, then we'll talk about the gameplay.
Like most MMO games, characters in MU can use many different kinds of magic and special abilities. Each character has its own set of spells and some weapons may be enchanted in order to provide the character with a specific spell. Casting a spell costs MP (mana, or magic point) and sometimes AG or stamina.

Some hot-keys:
At the beginning you need to access your stats and inventory. You can do this by pressing C(here the level is displayed, your stats, etc) and V (inventory). In inventory you will find 2 rings, from where you can drop some nice starting items, but you can throw them on level 40 and on level 80. Each item occupies a number of slots from inventory. Above these slots you can equip items for your character, taking into account what you can wear and what you can not. Below you will find the amount of Zen that you posses. The Zen is used for teleporting, buying items from shops, item crafting, etc. There is a "plus" button too, it is the extended inventory, which drops in Karutan2. You can also sell items to shops for Zen.
As you progress in level, you will unlock the "Repair" and "Store" options, also included in the inventory screen. - This should happen really fast.
By unlocking the Repair function, you don't need to go to the BlackSmith shop anymore to repair items, you can do it by yourself (zen is used).
By unlocking the Store function, you can sell items to other players for zen. Just drag and drop the item that you want to sell into the store and set its price(right click). You can choose your store name too.
 
F - Friends / mail function, from level 6

If you want to buy Healing Potions, Mana potions, some items/spells , you need to search the safezones of some cities for NonPlayerCharacters that are selling these things for zen.
You have an account Valut(Stash), where you can deposit your items. These items can be shared with your characters from the same account. It is located in almost every safezone of a city ( Safety Guardian is the name of the NPC).
You can also find the Chaos Goblin in Noria, for some combinations (upgrade items from +9 to +15 / creating wings / etc), Lahap in Elbeland, for stacking the jewels.
In the upper left corner, the coordinates for the current map are displayed.
Players can choose to team up with other players in a "party", in which players cooperate against enemy monsters to share and increase exp and loot.

The main goal of this game is to reach level 400. Based on that, our community offers you multiple type of gameplay choices: Inception, Phoenix and the *Wormhole concept. We have some vaulted versions too (like Non-Reset, which might be back some day).
Phoenix (Non-Reset with Optional resets type of gameplay): After your reach level 400 and finish your quests, you can farm your wanted items, you can go for Master Level (the 200th level is achieved by completing different tasks/quests), hunt events, PVP, etc. OR to reset to level 1 (you keep the items and ML), with a stats reset to level 1 (you get a low amount of bonus points, ~100) and you start over. There is a limited number of resets (~10). 
Inception (Multiple Resets type of gameplay): Same as Phoenix, but at level 400 you can reset you character to level 1 in order to start with a bigger amount of bonus points(~1000). Usually there are around 35 resets possible.
*Special *WormHole: The WormHole Concept, also known as Inception's kid, is a low term server (~60 days) where the gameplay is mostly the same as the one from Inception, but with limited access to some game items/features, and after some time (~50 days) you will be able to transfer your character to Inception. It is basically a wormhole for those who arrive later on Inception but want to still hit the top.
You can find all these servers here -----> https://mu.oldsquad.ro
Choose the right one for you ! 
**Note: Phoenix's exp rate is lower than Inception's, because we had to create balance for all the gameplays.

After you have joined MU and you have already chose a character, it's time to go kill some mobs for level up. You can only kill just a few monsters with your bare hands. You will need spells, items, potions, and, the most important thing, another players. You can create 2 accounts which can be connected at the same time, so you can start with multiple characters (much easier for you to level up, farm, etc.).
I suggest you to read the info for your chosen version of server on forum.
First you jump in the game, click the Elf Soldier (Shadow Phantom Soldier) to receive some bonus damage/defense, then you go to kill some mobs for level up. After killing some mobs, you will notice that you are not killing fast enough, so you need to search for some spells. Maybe you will find some in the shops. You can find shops in many maps, in safezones. You can buy some starting items from there, and some potions of healing and mana too. Shops are NPCs which are selling items to you for a certain amount of zen (zen is dropping from mobs). After you find some spells (don't worry if you won't find too many spells in shops, the most of spells are dropping from mobs in certain maps/spots) you can level up easier.
By the time you are leveling up, you must also search/obtain better items. There are items designed for each class (as well as spells). 
Items are classified as follows:
-Weapons:
On each weapon the damage and the required stats are displayed if you move your cursor on it. *Note regarding required stats: the game will sometimes display a smaller required number than the real one, unfortunately unfixable atm, but you can check the required stats on the test server: 
 
Swords/Blades/Maces/Staffs/Scepters, each designed for a certain class.
Tip: There are 2 types of damage received from weapons: normal damage, and wizardry damage(rise). If your character is a "warrior" type character (Dark Knight, Strength Magic Gladiator, etc), the damage that you are looking for is the normal one, written at one or two handed attack power. But if your character is a "mage" type character (Dark Wizard, Energy Magic Gladiator, Summoner, etc), you need to take into account the wizardry damage, not the normal attack power of the item.
-Set Items:
Armors/Helmets/Boots/Gloves/Pants/Shields. each designed for a certain class, having the defense and the required stats displayed if you move your cursor on it.
Some of the items are normal, just as listed above, while other items can be Excellent items (like the normal items, but here some options are added to the item, for example Increased Damage for weapons and decreased damage for set items. These options are upgrading the normal items to excellent items. You can not add or remove any options from an item), Ancient items (normal items with lots of extra options, organized in sets of multiple items -you need to find more items from a certain set in order for the options to be active-) and Socket Items (special items, on which you can add your desired options in the free slots).
Each kind of item is obtained in a different way, more details about the drops and item tiers at the Info&Rules section (Make sure that you are reading the right topic for your previously chosen server).
-Rings / Pendants : Rings are used like set items and pendants are giving bonus damage.
 
A much easier way to level up is when you are AFK, and we have a clicker implemented in our client, press Z in-game.
If you want to upgrade an item, you need jewels.
You can farm most of the items/jewels by participating at in-game events (Chaos Castle, Blood Caste, Devil Square, Invasions, etc). Some of the events can be used for leveling up too. 
You will team up with some players to compete against other players at these events.
You can create / join a guild. A guild is your "team" of players. After teaming up with your guild mates, you will unite your forces with them to conquer the Land of MU. There are lots of hot features and events for guild members.

Types of jewels:
-Jewel of Bless: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Soul: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Life: used to increase the ADD option of an item, and sometimes for some mixes
-Jewel of Chaos: used in mixes, it's the key jewel for almost any mix
-Jewel of Creation: used in mixes
-Gemstone: unrefined Jewel of Harmony
-Jewel of Harmony: used to add the harmony(yellow) option, and for some mixes
-Jewel of Guardian: used for Purple Option Mix
 
***
 
Upgrading items:
You can upgrade the level of an item by using some Jewels (Bless, Soul).
Let's say that you are a Dark Knight and you have found an Excellent Lightning Sword +luck +opt. The damage shown is 89~97.For example, if you want to increase the damage of the sword (thus the level of the item) you can drag a Jewel of Bless into the item. Now the item level is +1 and the displayed damage is 92~100. You can upgrade your items up to +15.
You can use Jewel of Bless to upgrade your item to +6, 100% chance of success.
You can use Jewel of Soul to upgrade your item from +6 to +9,  or from +1 to +9, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0).
If you want to go higher with the level of the item (+10, +11, .. , +15), you need to go to the Chaos Goblin in Noria(180 100) and hit the Regular Combination button, then give your +9 item to the Goblin, besides a Jewel of Bless, a Jewel of Soul and a Jewel of Chaos. Attention : A chance of success will be displayed by the Goblin. If your combination fails, your item will disappear. For the +11 combination you will need the +10 item + 2xJewel of Bless + 2xJewel of Soul + 1xJewel of chaos and so on, up to +15. *There is a special talisman used to make the item remain in case of a fail, but you will find it during gameplay.
Now if you have a Jewel of Life(JOL) you can drag it into an item to upgrade its Additional Damage/Def (ADD). If you don't have the ADD option, then the JOL will create it (+4). If you add another JOL the add might go to +8, but it can downgrade the item too, just like Jewel of Soul does.
 
***
 
Item options (for better understanding the difference between the item classes) :
You will find items in the game. Let's say that you find a Small Axe (with the displayed damage 1~6) - this is a normal item.
Normal items can have only 2 kind of extra options: Luck and ADD(Additional Damage/Defense)
But if you find an Excellent Small Axe, by picking it up you will see that an Excellent option is displayed (like damage decreased for set items and Increased Damage for weapons). This "excellent" option is what makes a normal item to be an excellent one. You will also notice that the damage for Excellent Small Axe is 31~36.
Excellent items can have Luck+add+max 2 exc options (and minimum 1 exc option).
Ancient items: Items dropped in specific locations, organized in sets (an ancient set can have different items) for activation. 
For example, the Hyon Set for Dark Knight has 4 components: Hyon Sword + Hyon Helm + Hyon Gloves + Hyon boots. If you only have 1 part of the set equipped, no ancient options are active. If you will equip another part, the first ancient option will be activated. If you equip the 3rd part, 2 option are active, and when you equip the final part, all the ancient options will be activated.
You can combine the ancient sets for various options (Hyon+Vicious).
Socket items: items dropped in specific locations (level required: 400). These items are normal items (can have Luck and ADD) with some empty slots, slots that you can fill with your chosen options. You need to craft specific items for filling these slots.
Plus, if you have a Jewel of Harmony, you can drag it into a normal or an Excellent item (not working for ancient/socket items) to add the harmony option to the item. You can increase the level of the yellow option by adding Higher of Lower Refinery Stones into the item. You can obtain these stones from Osbourne(Aida), by transforming some random items. You must increase the level of the item if you want to use refinery stones. For example, if you use a JOH for yellow option and you get let's say Damage Decrement Increase. If your item level is 0~9 you will have DDI 3%. If you upgrade your item to +10 you will be able to use a refinery stone to upgrade the DDI to +4%, and so on until +13. At +13 your DDI level will be 7%. These are the default values, you might encounter different upgrade level requirements for different yellow options on our servers.
There are several harmony options, so in order to remove your harmony option (if it's shitty), to be able to add another one, you have to go to Jerridon in Aida.
Even more, if you have a Jewel of Guardian (dropped in specific locations), a jewel of Harmony and a 380 level item, you can go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Item Option Combination, then combine these 3 items for obtaining the 380 Purple Option.
*Options on Excellent items:
An Excellent item can have a maximum of 2 options (some exceptions when you use Lord Mix).
For Set items:
-Increase Max HP +4% 
-Increase Max Mana +4%
-Damage Decrease +4% (received damage)
-Reflect Damage +5%
-Defense Success Rate +10% (mobs only)
-Increase Zen after killing mobs +30%
For Weapons:
-Excellent Damage Rate +10%
-Increase Damage +2%
-Increase Damage + lvl/20
-Increase Speed (Wizardry) +7
-Increase Life after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
-Increase Mana after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
*Options on ancient items:
Each ancient set has its own options, and there are multiple sets for each class of characters.
Example of bonus options for Hyon Set (BK):
-Increase Defensive Skill +25
-Double Damage Rate 10%
-Increase Skill Attacking Rate +20
-Increase Critical Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Excellent Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Critical Damage +20
-Increase Excellent Damage +20
Note: These options will activate once you equip each item.
*Options on Socket items:
Adding options into a Socket item is not an easy job, since these items can be equipped at level 400 (end-game items). I suggest you to skip this step for now, and come back again at the right time (when you will actually own a Socket Item).
The maximum number of slots for a Socket item is different for each server. For this tutorial, let's consider that the maximum number of slots is 3. You must add some "Seeds", containing options, into these items.
Let's suppose that we have have in inventory an ordinary Socket item (Royal Armor for DL) +3 empty slots (the item can have luck and ADD, but it does not matter). 
There are 6 types of seeds, each type having its own possible options:
  Type Options   Fire Attack/Wizardry damage increase (pro rata to level) 
Attack speed increase 
Maximum attack/Wizardry damage increase 
Attack/Wizardry damage increase   Water Defense success rate increase 
Defense increase 
Shield defense increase 
Damage reduction 
Damage reflection   Earth Stamina increase   Wind Life auto recovery increase 
Maximum Life increase 
Maximum Mana increase 
Automatic Mana recovery increase 
Maximum AG increase 
AG value increase   Lightening Excellent damage increase 
Excellent damage rate increase 
Critical damage increase 
Critical damage success rate increase 
    Ice Skill damage increase 
Attack success rate increase 
Item durability increase
 
First of all we need to craft a Seed. We can find the Seed Master in Elbeland(45 240), and choose the Seed Extraction button. For the Seed combination we need: any kind of ancient item +4(no ancient rings/pendants) + any kind of excellent item +4(no exc rings/pendants) + 1 Jewel of Harmony + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 Jewel of Chaos.
I have used a Mist Helm +4(ancient item) + an exc Dragon Armor +ref + 1 JOH + 1 creation + 1 chaos. All the seed extractions will have an 80% chance of success. When it fails, all the jewels will disappear and Ancient and Excellent items will randomly downgrade to level 0~2.
I just got an Increase Max Life Seed. 
The next step is to combine the Seed with a Sphere (which drops at specific locations). The better quality(level) the sphere has, the stronger option it will induce. Let's consider the max level for the sphere to be 4.
Take the Seed, the Sphere, 1 chaos , 1 creation back to the Seed Master and hit the Seed Sphere Assembly.
When it's successful : 
A seed sphere will be created. Once this is mounted to a socket item, it will give the item that special option. 
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into combination will disappear.
I have used a level 4 Sphere, and now my Seed in Sphere is Increase Maximum Life +8%. 
For level 3 sphere: Increase HP +7%, 6% for level 2 and 5% for level 1.
After you got this, all you need to do is to mount it to the item, with 100% chance of success. Go to the Seed Researcher in Elbeland(50 240), choose the first option and you got it. You can also remove Seeds from Sockets at the Seed Researcher.
!!! The Bonus for Socket items:
You will get some bonuses if you place the seeds in items as it's displayed in the next table:
 

 
As you see, some bonuses have a chance of success. So if you've placed the seeds as it's written in the table and your item is not showing the bonus, you can replace one random seed with the same seed or the same type of seed.

About Pets:
Pets are used by players to get more damage / defense. The pets are mostly used only in PvE (because they die fast PvP), but not only.
What pets can you find / craft:
-Guardian Angel, can be found. Bonuses by equipping a Guardian Angel: Absorb 20% of Damage; Increases max HP +50. Minimum level required: 23. Careful, this pet dies fast PvP !
-Imp (Satan), can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +30%. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP too.
-Demon, can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +40%; Attack Speed +10. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Uniria, can be found. Bonuses: Increases the moving speed. Min req lvl: 25. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Dinorant, needs to be crafted at the Chaos Goblin (Noria). You need 10 Horns of Uniria and a Jewel of Chaos (75% success rate). Bonuses: lets you fly ( if you don't have wings and you need to go in Icarus); Increase Damage +15%; Absorb 10% of Damage. Min req lvl: 110. Dies fast at PvP
-Horn of Fenrir, needs to be crafted. The Fenrir is the most powerful pet from MU, and it can be used for PvP (it dies pretty hard). For the crafting, you need multiple items. First of all you will need craft 5 Fragments of Horn. A Fragment of Horn can be made by combining 20xSplinter of Armor + 20xBless of Guardian+1 Jewel of Chaos (the splinter of armor and the bless of guardian are dropping in certain maps, usually KalimaX or Crywolf depending on the server) at the Chaos Goblin with 60% success rate. After you have 5 of this Fragments of Horn, you will need to search again that map for 10xClaw of Beast. Take the Claws and the Fragments of Horn and 1 Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin and combine them all together for a Broken Horn (50% chance of success). If you got the Broken Horn, you are at the last step. You need to combine this Broken Horn with 3 JOLs and 1 Jewel of Chaos (30% success rate). If you combination succeeds, you will get the most desired Horn of Fenrir (Red). The Red Fenrir does not offer any advantages, besides the maximum moving speed and some Pvp advantages. Yet. If you want your Fenrir to increase your stats, you will need to go through another combination. You can choose (based on your actual stats) if you want your Fenrir to "protect you" (Blue Fenrir), or if you want it to increase your damage (Black Fenrir). For the Blue Fenrir (absorbs 10% of damage) you need your Red Fenrir, 5 JOLs, 1 Jewel of Chaos and 1 Set Item+4 +4add minimum (armor/gloves/shield etc). The combination has 79% chance of success. If you want the Black Fenrir (Increases Damage +10%), you need to replace the Set Item with a Weapon, same 79% chance. There is a Golden Fenrir too, a pet which can be won by participating at Staff Events. I left a link at the end of this tutorial. 
You can restore the Fenrir's HP by dragging a Jewel of Bless into it. For the rest of the pets, you can do nothing to heal them up, for now.

You can evolve your character by making some special quests. Usually you have to do these quests in order to be able to use better spells and better gear.
 
First Quest:
In order to Upgrade your class, you have to be at least at level 150, then Warp into Devias then go to Sebina the Priest (Devias, 185 30). This quest is available only for Dark Knight, Dark Wizard,  Elf ,  and Summoner.
In the first part of this quest you will be asked to find the "Scroll of Emperor". This quest item is usually dropped in LostTower 1~3, by killing mobs.
After finding the Scroll, for part 2 you will be asked to find another item, which usually drops in LostTower 7 and sometimes in Tarkan/Aida.
After finishind the quest you will upgrade as follows: Dark Knight into Blade Knight (BK), Dark Wizard into Soul Master (SM),  Elf into Muse Elfe (ME) ,  and Summoner into Bloody Summoner (BS).
 
Marlon Quest:
Located random in Devias(185 30) or Lorencia(130 85) or Noria(170 90) or Atlans(20 25).
Again available only for BK, SM, Elf, Summ. At level 220, you need to complete this Marlon Quest, in order to be able to get 6 points per level instead 5, from now on (or 4 instead of 3, depending on the server). You will be asked to find the "Ring of Honor", which usually drops in Tarkan.
Now there is a part two of this quest, but available only for BK. The players will need to find the Dark Stone (drops also in Tarkan).After delivering the Dark Stone to Marlon, the BK will learn to do a combo. Combo is the specific skill for the BK class, and you can do a Combo by combining some spells (without failure). The basic Combo is done by using the Weapon Skill + Twisting Slash Skill + Death Stab skill. You can explore more combinations of skills.
MG/DL/RF can not do this quest at all since they already get 7 points per level.
Warning: It is almost mandatory to do this quest since your first reset, since you cannot get the lost points back if you do reset.
 
Third Quest [Hard]:
Now this quest is available for all classes and it can vary depending on the server type. 
You can start the first part at level 380 by going to Apostle Devin, Lorencia, near bar. He will tell you to bring 3 items:
- Flame of Death Beam Knight, dropped only by the Death Beam Knight in Tarkan2 around 175 215
- Horn of Hell Maine, dropped only by the Hell Maine in Aida2 around 115 65
- Feather of Phoenix, dropped only by Phoenix of Darkness in Icarus around 40 200
That's the hardest part of the quest, the items can be dropped in few hours to few days.
After delivering the quest items, you will be asked to be level 400 in order to proceed.
The Apostle will tell you to kill 20 x each monster from Barracks. The NPC for warping into Barracks is situated in CryWolf(60 235) or near Lorencia Bar. 
For the third part you will need to kill the Dark Elf in Refuge. So you will need to head back to Barracks, and to go to the Refuge Gate at the end of Barracks(120 170). Inside you will find the Dark Elf.
By finishing the 3rd Quest, you will evolve, and you will unlock the Master Skill Tree (Press A). You gain master points by killing specific Master Level (ML) mobs. 
Maximum ML : ~200
!!! I strongly recommend you to test each upgrade of the skill tree (and not only) on the Test server in order to make sure that you will actually obtain the desired result!

About the in-game events:
-Chaos Castle: 
You can find the invitation for Chaos Castle (CC) at the shop from Lore Bar (Armor of Guardsman is the item).
As you can see if you click on the Invitation, there are 7 CCs, 1 for each different level range. This invitation works for any level -only for CC, for other events you will need to craft the right invitation for your level- .
Inside CC you will have to wait until registering stops (multiple players can join), and you will have a specific skin (so it will be quite hard to distinguish the players from mobs). Mobs have a very high chance to drop jewels inside CC.
There will be a total of 100 characters (players+mobs), and the last standing man is the winner. The winner has a reward (from jwls to ancient items, etc). So you go CC for farming items/jwls.
 
-Blood Castle:
For Blood Castle (BC), you need to craft the right invitation based on your level (check server details for the required levels, or simply ask a player). Let's say that you have level X and you need the BC Y invitation. You need to find Blood Bone +Y and Scroll of Archangel +Y. Take these 2 items and a Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin in Noria, hit the Regular Combination button and voila. Then right click on the invitation when you are in safe-zone to Warp into BC.
There the main goal is to cross the bridge, destroy the gate, and destroy the statue that will appear up on the throne, after killing some mobs. The player that destroys the statue will acquire the Weapon of Archangel, and he need to bring it back to the starting zone and click on the Archangel to get the reward and end the event. You can team up with your party against other players/parties. 
The experience gained in BC is being usually doubled, so you can use this event for level up too.
 
-Devil Square:
Just like for BC, you will need to craft the right Devil Square (DS) invitation for your level. You will need Devil's Eye, Devil's Key and a Jewel of Chaos for your Goblin combination.
Inside DS the experience gained is being doubled, and the mobs might drop some end-tier spells, besides jewels and ancient items, etc.
You can team up with your party for a faster kill. This event is used for leveling up.
 
-Golden Invasions:
From time to time, some maps will be invaded by some Golden Creatures (a message will be displayed on global chat). You need to find and kill these Goldens in order to receive some rewards. One of the basic rewards for killing these Goldens is the Box of Kundun (BOK). The level range for BOK is 1 ~ 5, depending on the level of the Golden that you have killed. By dropping this BOK, you will find an Excellent Item. Hunt more Goldens for finding all the items / weapons from a set. 
Details about spawn points and drop list at Info for each server.
Also, check the server info for more invasions, like Rabbits, White Wizard, etc.
 
-Illusion Temple:
Once the event start has been announced you have 5 minutes time to go to the Illusion Temple NPC (Elbeland 55 240) and register for the level/reset range you are in. The event consists out of two teams(randomly generated - max 2 teams of 5 ppl) who will try to get as many items from the Stone Henge NPC as possible. Once a player has received the item he will be slowed. Returning the item to the base camp will get the team 1 point. The players will not be able to use their skills in battle. They will be granted skills only when killing adversaries. Also the players look will change just like in chaos castle.
When you enter you are warped inside the waiting room until illusion temple starts, when it starts teams are putted together 'alliance' and 'illusion' team. Teams are random meaning u cannot chose your ally nor your opponent. In illusion temple the purpose of the game is to capture the 'illusion temple ball' located in the north and in the south of the map you must return these to a container at your starting place

Note: your running speed while carrying the ball will decrease dramatically making u slow and easy to catch
When the ball carrier is killed he drops the ball. When you return the ball to your starting place your team will gain 1 point. Max points: 7

When you kill an opponent you will gain 5 killpoints, this being your personal score and not from the team. These points are to use special abilities inside illusion temple.
Magic shield order: 5p. Function: Prevents 100% of DMG, duration 15 sec; Resistance order: 5p. Function: Paralyzes the enemy for 15 sec; Tracking order: 10p. Function: teleports you to the Ball; Freeze time: 5p. Function: Takes enemy 50% of SD.

Once the event starts, players who are in are assigned to a random team and get a team uniform.
For each opposing player killed, the killing team gets five skill points which can be spent to temporarily improve their character during the event. On top of killing other players, there are 2 statues located in the event map, each holding an event ball.
Each team's base also comes equipped with a pedestal, where players can bring back the event balls for points. Once a ball is taken from a status, both statues disappear. 

They reappear again once a team returns the ball to their respective base.
The first team which is able to return the ball seven times first wins. So not only is it important to kill the opposing team as much as possible, but to also gather as many event balls as possible while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The ball carrier will move in slow motion, so it's important for his or her teammates to work together to protect the ball carrier from the opposing team. Once a ball carrier is killed, disconnected or leaves the event, the ball will fall to the ground and is able to be picked up by any player on either team.
 
-CryWolf Event:
This event happens twice a week. 
In CryWolf is a Statue with some pedestals. At the beginning, at least one ELF has to stand on a random pedestal during the whole event. The last ELF mustn't move or die, because the event will be canceled. The Kundun army will spawn, and the rest of the players must defeat the army, and protect the Elves on pedestals and the Statue. Each mob kill has a nice reward, plus, if the event is finished, the WHOLE SERVER will get some bonus exp (for example, on Phoenix you get 15% bonus exp after finishing CW event).
 
-Refinery Tower:
Refinery Tower is the place where you can refine Gemstones, and turn them to Jewels of Harmony (with an 80% chance of success). The Refinery Tower entrance is located in Kanturu Relics(140 185). Sometimes the refinery is open(meaning that the Refinery Event was finished before by another player/s).
If you find the Refinery Tower closed, you have to complete the event.
First of all, you will need a Moonstone Pendant equipped, which drops in the same map from regular mobs. After acquiring the pendant, you have to wait for the gate to be opened. Once you are inside, you will fight Maya's hands and minions. After defeating them, you have to face the boss, Nightmare, which drops nice rewards when killed. After Nightmare is killed, the Refinery Tower will be open again for everyone for a certain amount of time.
 
-Castle Siege:
This event has a dedicated topic, since our system is unique. Check the forum info for your server !
 
***
 
-Wings:
Wings are special items that can be obtained by farming and upgrading another items. There are multiple kind of wings: Small Wings, Level 1 Wings, Level 2 Wings, Level 3 Wings, Level 4 Wings.
The rate of success for wings is influenced by the items that are used.
For example, the small wings will be dropped from one of the rings that you will find in your inventory when you first log in to the game. You need to be at least level 80 to be able to drop this ring.
For Wings lvl 1 you need to combine some low tier items at the Goblin(Noria). Wings level 2, 3, 4 are just upgrades from wings lvl 1, and you need to acquire certain items for each upgrade.
I will give an example of basic Wings lvl 1 combination:
Careful, DL / RF cannot equip any level 1 Wings !
Below you will find info about some jewels too.
First you need to go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Chaos Weapon Combination button. For this combination you'll need an item at least +4 and +4 Additional Dmg/Def (add). I suggest you to use an item dropped by a Medal. But you can also upgrade an item to +4 (or more) using Jewel of Bless and Jewel of Soul. You can upgrade your item to +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 with Jewel of Bless in a 100% safe way. Just drag it into the item. You can't go higher than +6 with Jewel of Bless. From +6 to +9 you will need to use the Jewel of Soul, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0). 
If you want to some Additional Damage / Def (ADD) for your item, you need to use a Jewel of Life (JOL). By dragging the JOL into the item you will sum +4 ADD. If you drag another JOL your item will go to +8 ADD, etc.
Careful, the JOL can also downgrade the ADD (from +4 add to +0, +12 to +8, +12 to +0, etc).
Max ADD on items: Usually +28
Max ADD for Goblin: +16. If you upgrade your items up to +16, your general chance for Chaos Combinations will be increased. If you exceed +16 ADD (+20, +24, +28), your item ADD will be count as 0 or smth.
So for our Chaos Weapon Combination we need an item at least +4 and +4 add and a Jewel of Chaos. You can raise the levels of the items for a better chance of success. I have used a Plate Helm +8 +12add for a 62% chance of success, then I used a JOL to upgrade the add to +16 for a 100% chance of succes and the Chaos Weapon has been created. I got it +2 and +0 add. For the next step we need again our Chaos Weapon to be at least +4 and +4 add. You can upgrade your current Chaos weapon with Bless, Soul and JOL or you can go for another combination. I'll go for another combination. Damn, I got a new Chaos Weapon, but this time it's +1 and +0 add. Better upgrade the previous one from +2 and +0 add to +4 and +4 add. 
For step 2 I will use the +4 and +4 add Chaos weapon to create the wings. Click on the Goblin, and hit the Regular Combination button. Now insert your Chaos Weapon and a Jewel of Chaos to create the wings. But wait, my chance of success now is only 11%. I will upgrade the Weapon to +5. Meh, not good, 13%. I will upgrade the ADD to +8. 19%. We need more. Wait, there says that if I add a Jewel of Bless or Soul to the combination the rate will increase. Let's see. 24% with a Jewel of Bless. 28% with both Bless and Soul. We need more. There says that we can add a +4 and +4 add item to increase the rate. I will find another item. I just got a Lightning Sword +5 and +4 add. 46%. I need a better item. By the time I got me another Lightning Sword +7 + add 4. Let's try the combination with this new sword. 68%. And if I add my old Lightning Sword +5+add4 I get 86%. I just hit the Combine button, and I got some Wings Level 1 for Elf.
If your combination succeeds, you can get Wings of Satan (for Dark Knight / Magic Gladiator), Wings of Heaven (Dark Wizard / Magic Gladiator), or wings of Elf, random.
Now we can equip our wings (if they're matching our class), or we can trade them.
 
Wings level 2 are just an upgrade from wings level 1. Now DL and RF can create their own wings(capes).
If you want to upgrade your lvl 1 wings to lvl 2, you will need a Feather (for BK, SM, MG, ELF and Summ) or a Crest of Monarch (for DL / RF). Both the Feather and the Crest of Monarch can be found in Icarus by killing mobs.
Your need 1st quest to be able equip these wings.
I suggest you to raise the add of the Wings to +12 or +16 for a higher chance.
I have a pair of lvl 1 wings of Elf +1 +12 add, 1 chaos and 1 Feather. My chance is 53%.
There it says that I can add again an item to increase the rate. But this time it has to be an Excellent item.
Luckily I already have a Skull Shield +7 +luck +add8 +zen and I get a 87% chance and I got some Summoner Wings level 2 +HP.
Again, the wings will be random (in case of success). For DL / RF capes use Crest of Monarch instead of Feather.
 
Wings level 3
For wings level 3 you need 3rd quest in order to be able to equip 'em.
You need these items for your Chaos Combination:
-Condor's Flame: has a very low drop rate in Swamp
-Feather of Condor: you need to craft this item
-1 Jewel of Chaos
-1 bundle of 10 Bless
-1 bundle of 10 Soul
-1 Jewel of Creation
-an Excellent item +9 +add4 at least
The max rate of success for Wings level 3 is 40%.
Feather of Condor combination ingredients (max rate of succes 60%) : Wings lvl 2 +9 +add4 (you don't need more for wings) + Ancient item +7 +add4 (at least) + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 bundle of 10 Soul.
Tip: always use +16 add on items for the best success rate at Chaos Combination (where the ADD does matter for the combination)
I suggest you to use high-tier ancient items (Hyon Sword or/and Gywen Bow) at least +9 +add16 for a higher chance. For example with Wings of Dragon +9 +add4, 1 bundle of 10 soul, 1 chaos, 1 creation and 1 Hyon Sword +9 +add16 I get 30% chance of succes. If I add another Hyon Sword +9+add16 I get 60% chance of Succes.
Another way to increase your chance is to upgrade your ancient item to +10. With only 1 Hyon Sword +10 +add16 I get 53% chance of succes.
After crafting the Feather, we can go back to our basic combination: Condor's Flame, Feather of Condor, 1 Jewel of Chaos, 1 bundle of 10 Bless, 1 bundle of 10 Soul, 1 Jewel of Creation and an Excellent items +9 +add4 at least.
For this combination I have a Rune Blade +9 +add16. My chance of success is 25%. I suggest you to use MG weapons for this combination. 
I can upgrade my Rune Blade to +10 for a 38% chance of succes or bring another Exc item +9 +add16.
If your combination succeeds, you will acquire a pair of random Wings level 3 (Capes for DL / RF included now) with random options. I just got a Cape of Emperor +ignore for DL with 38% chance of success.
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into the combination will disappear.
For Wings level 4 we have a special topic, please check it out.

About Gens:
Maybe you have noticed that you can not access the "Battle" maps. That's because on these maps only the members of Gens are allowed. Gens is a PvP system,  and you can earn contribution points and reward from PvP against the opposing Gens. There are 2 Gens families: Vanert and Duprian. You can join any Gens family by going to the special gens NPC, near Lorencia Ring. After you have joined a family, you will free PK the opp family in the battle maps, and you can't see opps names on battle maps.

We also want to offer you the best gameplay, so we have created a Special Series of Events, made by staff.
More details here ----> https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/1651-osp-weekly-events-monthly-competition-legends-group/
 
This is only the basic guide for you to start.We strongly  recommend you to browse the info for your server! Google is sometimes a good source too.
 
I will let this topic open for any questions .
 

Hello to everybody!
This guide is mostly addressing to the new players of MU, but not only!
After watching the videos about MU online on YouTube, many of you might question yourself about the gameplay. I will try to describe the gameplay and what you have to do.
First of all, we'll start with some details about the gameplay as a genre:
In MU Online, like in most MMORPGs, players have to create a character among seven different classes and to set their foot on the MU Continent. In order to gain experience and thus to level up, a player needs to fight monsters (mobs). MU is populated by a large variety of monsters, from simple ones like goblins and golems, to frightening ones such as the Gorgon, Kundun or Selupan. Each monster-type is unique, has different spawn points, and drops different items. Outside of a duel, PvP fighting is possible but "discouraged". When one player attacks another, a self-defense system is activated, in which the attacked player may kill the aggressor within a time limit. Self-defense is also activated when a player attacks an Elf's summoned creature. Outlaws have disadvantages during game play, depending on their Outlaw level.
At the start of the game the players can choose between four different character classes - Dark Wizard, Dark Knight, Elf, and Summoner. Players can unlock a Magic Gladiator, a RageFighter and a Dark Lord as they progress. Each class has its specific powers and items. As characters level up and complete quests, they can transform themselves into stronger classes. Each progressive class change grants, gain access to new spells, skills, weapons and wings as well as an associated change in appearance.
Mu Online has a built-in chat system that allows all visible players to easily communicate via text. Users can add custom players to their Friends List in-order to make it easy to keep in contact with one-another.
I will start with the the "mechanical" part of the game, then we'll talk about the gameplay.
Like most MMO games, characters in MU can use many different kinds of magic and special abilities. Each character has its own set of spells and some weapons may be enchanted in order to provide the character with a specific spell. Casting a spell costs MP (mana, or magic point) and sometimes AG or stamina.

Some hot-keys:
At the beginning you need to access your stats and inventory. You can do this by pressing C(here the level is displayed, your stats, etc) and V (inventory). In inventory you will find 2 rings, from where you can drop some nice starting items, but you can throw them on level 40 and on level 80. Each item occupies a number of slots from inventory. Above these slots you can equip items for your character, taking into account what you can wear and what you can not. Below you will find the amount of Zen that you posses. The Zen is used for teleporting, buying items from shops, item crafting, etc. There is a "plus" button too, it is the extended inventory, which drops in Karutan2. You can also sell items to shops for Zen.
As you progress in level, you will unlock the "Repair" and "Store" options, also included in the inventory screen. - This should happen really fast.
By unlocking the Repair function, you don't need to go to the BlackSmith shop anymore to repair items, you can do it by yourself (zen is used).
By unlocking the Store function, you can sell items to other players for zen. Just drag and drop the item that you want to sell into the store and set its price(right click). You can choose your store name too.
 
F - Friends / mail function, from level 6
H - Event planner, displays the starting hour for some events
D - Multitask bar, where you can request a player to Trade / Buy Store / Party / PM/ Request to join Guild etc., by selecting the wanted option and right click on the player
Enter - Chat
Printscreen button, saves the screenshot directly into your MU folder->Screenshots, no other software needed
F1 - Help Box, press F1 in game for even more very useful hot-keys. You can press multiple times
F10 - 3D Camera ON/OFF
F11- Reset 3D Camera
F12- Minimize the game
M - Warping Menu
A - Master Level, after completing Quest 3
Z - In-Game Clicker

If you want to buy Healing Potions, Mana potions, some items/spells , you need to search the safezones of some cities for NonPlayerCharacters that are selling these things for zen.
You have an account Valut(Stash), where you can deposit your items. These items can be shared with your characters from the same account. It is located in almost every safezone of a city ( Safety Guardian is the name of the NPC).
You can also find the Chaos Goblin in Noria, for some combinations (upgrade items from +9 to +15 / creating wings / etc), Lahap in Elbeland, for stacking the jewels.
In the upper left corner, the coordinates for the current map are displayed.
Players can choose to team up with other players in a "party", in which players cooperate against enemy monsters to share and increase exp and loot.

The main goal of this game is to reach level 400. Based on that, our community offers you multiple type of gameplay choices: Inception, Phoenix and the *Wormhole concept. We have some vaulted versions too (like Non-Reset, which might be back some day).
Phoenix (Non-Reset with Optional resets type of gameplay): After your reach level 400 and finish your quests, you can farm your wanted items, you can go for Master Level (the 200th level is achieved by completing different tasks/quests), hunt events, PVP, etc. OR to reset to level 1 (you keep the items and ML), with a stats reset to level 1 (you get a low amount of bonus points, ~100) and you start over. There is a limited number of resets (~10). 
Inception (Multiple Resets type of gameplay): Same as Phoenix, but at level 400 you can reset you character to level 1 in order to start with a bigger amount of bonus points(~1000). Usually there are around 35 resets possible.
*Special *WormHole: The WormHole Concept, also known as Inception's kid, is a low term server (~60 days) where the gameplay is mostly the same as the one from Inception, but with limited access to some game items/features, and after some time (~50 days) you will be able to transfer your character to Inception. It is basically a wormhole for those who arrive later on Inception but want to still hit the top.
You can find all these servers here -----> https://mu.oldsquad.ro
Choose the right one for you ! 
**Note: Phoenix's exp rate is lower than Inception's, because we had to create balance for all the gameplays.

After you have joined MU and you have already chose a character, it's time to go kill some mobs for level up. You can only kill just a few monsters with your bare hands. You will need spells, items, potions, and, the most important thing, another players. You can create 2 accounts which can be connected at the same time, so you can start with multiple characters (much easier for you to level up, farm, etc.).
I suggest you to read the info for your chosen version of server on forum.
First you jump in the game, click the Elf Soldier (Shadow Phantom Soldier) to receive some bonus damage/defense, then you go to kill some mobs for level up. After killing some mobs, you will notice that you are not killing fast enough, so you need to search for some spells. Maybe you will find some in the shops. You can find shops in many maps, in safezones. You can buy some starting items from there, and some potions of healing and mana too. Shops are NPCs which are selling items to you for a certain amount of zen (zen is dropping from mobs). After you find some spells (don't worry if you won't find too many spells in shops, the most of spells are dropping from mobs in certain maps/spots) you can level up easier.
By the time you are leveling up, you must also search/obtain better items. There are items designed for each class (as well as spells). 
Items are classified as follows:
-Weapons:
On each weapon the damage and the required stats are displayed if you move your cursor on it. *Note regarding required stats: the game will sometimes display a smaller required number than the real one, unfortunately unfixable atm, but you can check the required stats on the test server: 
 
Swords/Blades/Maces/Staffs/Scepters, each designed for a certain class.
Tip: There are 2 types of damage received from weapons: normal damage, and wizardry damage(rise). If your character is a "warrior" type character (Dark Knight, Strength Magic Gladiator, etc), the damage that you are looking for is the normal one, written at one or two handed attack power. But if your character is a "mage" type character (Dark Wizard, Energy Magic Gladiator, Summoner, etc), you need to take into account the wizardry damage, not the normal attack power of the item.
-Set Items:
Armors/Helmets/Boots/Gloves/Pants/Shields. each designed for a certain class, having the defense and the required stats displayed if you move your cursor on it.
Some of the items are normal, just as listed above, while other items can be Excellent items (like the normal items, but here some options are added to the item, for example Increased Damage for weapons and decreased damage for set items. These options are upgrading the normal items to excellent items. You can not add or remove any options from an item), Ancient items (normal items with lots of extra options, organized in sets of multiple items -you need to find more items from a certain set in order for the options to be active-) and Socket Items (special items, on which you can add your desired options in the free slots).
Each kind of item is obtained in a different way, more details about the drops and item tiers at the Info&Rules section (Make sure that you are reading the right topic for your previously chosen server).
-Rings / Pendants : Rings are used like set items and pendants are giving bonus damage.
 
A much easier way to level up is when you are AFK, and we have a clicker implemented in our client, press Z in-game.
If you want to upgrade an item, you need jewels.
You can farm most of the items/jewels by participating at in-game events (Chaos Castle, Blood Caste, Devil Square, Invasions, etc). Some of the events can be used for leveling up too. 
You will team up with some players to compete against other players at these events.
You can create / join a guild. A guild is your "team" of players. After teaming up with your guild mates, you will unite your forces with them to conquer the Land of MU. There are lots of hot features and events for guild members.

Types of jewels:
-Jewel of Bless: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Soul: directly increasing the item level, also used for some mixes
-Jewel of Life: used to increase the ADD option of an item, and sometimes for some mixes
-Jewel of Chaos: used in mixes, it's the key jewel for almost any mix
-Jewel of Creation: used in mixes
-Gemstone: unrefined Jewel of Harmony
-Jewel of Harmony: used to add the harmony(yellow) option, and for some mixes
-Jewel of Guardian: used for Purple Option Mix
 
***
 
Upgrading items:
You can upgrade the level of an item by using some Jewels (Bless, Soul).
Let's say that you are a Dark Knight and you have found an Excellent Lightning Sword +luck +opt. The damage shown is 89~97.For example, if you want to increase the damage of the sword (thus the level of the item) you can drag a Jewel of Bless into the item. Now the item level is +1 and the displayed damage is 92~100. You can upgrade your items up to +15.
You can use Jewel of Bless to upgrade your item to +6, 100% chance of success.
You can use Jewel of Soul to upgrade your item from +6 to +9,  or from +1 to +9, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0).
If you want to go higher with the level of the item (+10, +11, .. , +15), you need to go to the Chaos Goblin in Noria(180 100) and hit the Regular Combination button, then give your +9 item to the Goblin, besides a Jewel of Bless, a Jewel of Soul and a Jewel of Chaos. Attention : A chance of success will be displayed by the Goblin. If your combination fails, your item will disappear. For the +11 combination you will need the +10 item + 2xJewel of Bless + 2xJewel of Soul + 1xJewel of chaos and so on, up to +15. *There is a special talisman used to make the item remain in case of a fail, but you will find it during gameplay.
Now if you have a Jewel of Life(JOL) you can drag it into an item to upgrade its Additional Damage/Def (ADD). If you don't have the ADD option, then the JOL will create it (+4). If you add another JOL the add might go to +8, but it can downgrade the item too, just like Jewel of Soul does.
 
***
 
Item options (for better understanding the difference between the item classes) :
You will find items in the game. Let's say that you find a Small Axe (with the displayed damage 1~6) - this is a normal item.
Normal items can have only 2 kind of extra options: Luck and ADD(Additional Damage/Defense)
But if you find an Excellent Small Axe, by picking it up you will see that an Excellent option is displayed (like damage decreased for set items and Increased Damage for weapons). This "excellent" option is what makes a normal item to be an excellent one. You will also notice that the damage for Excellent Small Axe is 31~36.
Excellent items can have Luck+add+max 2 exc options (and minimum 1 exc option).
Ancient items: Items dropped in specific locations, organized in sets (an ancient set can have different items) for activation. 
For example, the Hyon Set for Dark Knight has 4 components: Hyon Sword + Hyon Helm + Hyon Gloves + Hyon boots. If you only have 1 part of the set equipped, no ancient options are active. If you will equip another part, the first ancient option will be activated. If you equip the 3rd part, 2 option are active, and when you equip the final part, all the ancient options will be activated.
You can combine the ancient sets for various options (Hyon+Vicious).
Socket items: items dropped in specific locations (level required: 400). These items are normal items (can have Luck and ADD) with some empty slots, slots that you can fill with your chosen options. You need to craft specific items for filling these slots.
Plus, if you have a Jewel of Harmony, you can drag it into a normal or an Excellent item (not working for ancient/socket items) to add the harmony option to the item. You can increase the level of the yellow option by adding Higher of Lower Refinery Stones into the item. You can obtain these stones from Osbourne(Aida), by transforming some random items. You must increase the level of the item if you want to use refinery stones. For example, if you use a JOH for yellow option and you get let's say Damage Decrement Increase. If your item level is 0~9 you will have DDI 3%. If you upgrade your item to +10 you will be able to use a refinery stone to upgrade the DDI to +4%, and so on until +13. At +13 your DDI level will be 7%. These are the default values, you might encounter different upgrade level requirements for different yellow options on our servers.
There are several harmony options, so in order to remove your harmony option (if it's shitty), to be able to add another one, you have to go to Jerridon in Aida.
Even more, if you have a Jewel of Guardian (dropped in specific locations), a jewel of Harmony and a 380 level item, you can go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Item Option Combination, then combine these 3 items for obtaining the 380 Purple Option.
*Options on Excellent items:
An Excellent item can have a maximum of 2 options (some exceptions when you use Lord Mix).
For Set items:
-Increase Max HP +4% 
-Increase Max Mana +4%
-Damage Decrease +4% (received damage)
-Reflect Damage +5%
-Defense Success Rate +10% (mobs only)
-Increase Zen after killing mobs +30%
For Weapons:
-Excellent Damage Rate +10%
-Increase Damage +2%
-Increase Damage + lvl/20
-Increase Speed (Wizardry) +7
-Increase Life after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
-Increase Mana after killing mobs +8/mob (for weapons)
*Options on ancient items:
Each ancient set has its own options, and there are multiple sets for each class of characters.
Example of bonus options for Hyon Set (BK):
-Increase Defensive Skill +25
-Double Damage Rate 10%
-Increase Skill Attacking Rate +20
-Increase Critical Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Excellent Damage Rate +15%
-Increase Critical Damage +20
-Increase Excellent Damage +20
Note: These options will activate once you equip each item.
*Options on Socket items:
Adding options into a Socket item is not an easy job, since these items can be equipped at level 400 (end-game items). I suggest you to skip this step for now, and come back again at the right time (when you will actually own a Socket Item).
The maximum number of slots for a Socket item is different for each server. For this tutorial, let's consider that the maximum number of slots is 3. You must add some "Seeds", containing options, into these items.
Let's suppose that we have have in inventory an ordinary Socket item (Royal Armor for DL) +3 empty slots (the item can have luck and ADD, but it does not matter). 
There are 6 types of seeds, each type having its own possible options:
  Type Options   Fire Attack/Wizardry damage increase (pro rata to level) 
Attack speed increase 
Maximum attack/Wizardry damage increase 
Attack/Wizardry damage increase   Water Defense success rate increase 
Defense increase 
Shield defense increase 
Damage reduction 
Damage reflection   Earth Stamina increase   Wind Life auto recovery increase 
Maximum Life increase 
Maximum Mana increase 
Automatic Mana recovery increase 
Maximum AG increase 
AG value increase   Lightening Excellent damage increase 
Excellent damage rate increase 
Critical damage increase 
Critical damage success rate increase 
    Ice Skill damage increase 
Attack success rate increase 
Item durability increase
 
First of all we need to craft a Seed. We can find the Seed Master in Elbeland(45 240), and choose the Seed Extraction button. For the Seed combination we need: any kind of ancient item +4(no ancient rings/pendants) + any kind of excellent item +4(no exc rings/pendants) + 1 Jewel of Harmony + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 Jewel of Chaos.
I have used a Mist Helm +4(ancient item) + an exc Dragon Armor +ref + 1 JOH + 1 creation + 1 chaos. All the seed extractions will have an 80% chance of success. When it fails, all the jewels will disappear and Ancient and Excellent items will randomly downgrade to level 0~2.
I just got an Increase Max Life Seed. 
The next step is to combine the Seed with a Sphere (which drops at specific locations). The better quality(level) the sphere has, the stronger option it will induce. Let's consider the max level for the sphere to be 4.
Take the Seed, the Sphere, 1 chaos , 1 creation back to the Seed Master and hit the Seed Sphere Assembly.
When it's successful : 
A seed sphere will be created. Once this is mounted to a socket item, it will give the item that special option. 
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into combination will disappear.
I have used a level 4 Sphere, and now my Seed in Sphere is Increase Maximum Life +8%. 
For level 3 sphere: Increase HP +7%, 6% for level 2 and 5% for level 1.
After you got this, all you need to do is to mount it to the item, with 100% chance of success. Go to the Seed Researcher in Elbeland(50 240), choose the first option and you got it. You can also remove Seeds from Sockets at the Seed Researcher.
!!! The Bonus for Socket items:
You will get some bonuses if you place the seeds in items as it's displayed in the next table:
 

 
As you see, some bonuses have a chance of success. So if you've placed the seeds as it's written in the table and your item is not showing the bonus, you can replace one random seed with the same seed or the same type of seed.

About Pets:
Pets are used by players to get more damage / defense. The pets are mostly used only in PvE (because they die fast PvP), but not only.
What pets can you find / craft:
-Guardian Angel, can be found. Bonuses by equipping a Guardian Angel: Absorb 20% of Damage; Increases max HP +50. Minimum level required: 23. Careful, this pet dies fast PvP !
-Imp (Satan), can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +30%. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP too.
-Demon, can be found. Bonuses: Increase Damage +40%; Attack Speed +10. Min req lvl: 28. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Uniria, can be found. Bonuses: Increases the moving speed. Min req lvl: 25. Dies fast at PvP.
-Horn of Dinorant, needs to be crafted at the Chaos Goblin (Noria). You need 10 Horns of Uniria and a Jewel of Chaos (75% success rate). Bonuses: lets you fly ( if you don't have wings and you need to go in Icarus); Increase Damage +15%; Absorb 10% of Damage. Min req lvl: 110. Dies fast at PvP
-Horn of Fenrir, needs to be crafted. The Fenrir is the most powerful pet from MU, and it can be used for PvP (it dies pretty hard). For the crafting, you need multiple items. First of all you will need craft 5 Fragments of Horn. A Fragment of Horn can be made by combining 20xSplinter of Armor + 20xBless of Guardian+1 Jewel of Chaos (the splinter of armor and the bless of guardian are dropping in certain maps, usually KalimaX or Crywolf depending on the server) at the Chaos Goblin with 60% success rate. After you have 5 of this Fragments of Horn, you will need to search again that map for 10xClaw of Beast. Take the Claws and the Fragments of Horn and 1 Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin and combine them all together for a Broken Horn (50% chance of success). If you got the Broken Horn, you are at the last step. You need to combine this Broken Horn with 3 JOLs and 1 Jewel of Chaos (30% success rate). If you combination succeeds, you will get the most desired Horn of Fenrir (Red). The Red Fenrir does not offer any advantages, besides the maximum moving speed and some Pvp advantages. Yet. If you want your Fenrir to increase your stats, you will need to go through another combination. You can choose (based on your actual stats) if you want your Fenrir to "protect you" (Blue Fenrir), or if you want it to increase your damage (Black Fenrir). For the Blue Fenrir (absorbs 10% of damage) you need your Red Fenrir, 5 JOLs, 1 Jewel of Chaos and 1 Set Item+4 +4add minimum (armor/gloves/shield etc). The combination has 79% chance of success. If you want the Black Fenrir (Increases Damage +10%), you need to replace the Set Item with a Weapon, same 79% chance. There is a Golden Fenrir too, a pet which can be won by participating at Staff Events. I left a link at the end of this tutorial. 
You can restore the Fenrir's HP by dragging a Jewel of Bless into it. For the rest of the pets, you can do nothing to heal them up, for now.

You can evolve your character by making some special quests. Usually you have to do these quests in order to be able to use better spells and better gear.
 
First Quest:
In order to Upgrade your class, you have to be at least at level 150, then Warp into Devias then go to Sebina the Priest (Devias, 185 30). This quest is available only for Dark Knight, Dark Wizard,  Elf ,  and Summoner.
In the first part of this quest you will be asked to find the "Scroll of Emperor". This quest item is usually dropped in LostTower 1~3, by killing mobs.
After finding the Scroll, for part 2 you will be asked to find another item, which usually drops in LostTower 7 and sometimes in Tarkan/Aida.
After finishind the quest you will upgrade as follows: Dark Knight into Blade Knight (BK), Dark Wizard into Soul Master (SM),  Elf into Muse Elfe (ME) ,  and Summoner into Bloody Summoner (BS).
 
Marlon Quest:
Located random in Devias(185 30) or Lorencia(130 85) or Noria(170 90) or Atlans(20 25).
Again available only for BK, SM, Elf, Summ. At level 220, you need to complete this Marlon Quest, in order to be able to get 6 points per level instead 5, from now on (or 4 instead of 3, depending on the server). You will be asked to find the "Ring of Honor", which usually drops in Tarkan.
Now there is a part two of this quest, but available only for BK. The players will need to find the Dark Stone (drops also in Tarkan).After delivering the Dark Stone to Marlon, the BK will learn to do a combo. Combo is the specific skill for the BK class, and you can do a Combo by combining some spells (without failure). The basic Combo is done by using the Weapon Skill + Twisting Slash Skill + Death Stab skill. You can explore more combinations of skills.
MG/DL/RF can not do this quest at all since they already get 7 points per level.
Warning: It is almost mandatory to do this quest since your first reset, since you cannot get the lost points back if you do reset.
 
Third Quest [Hard]:
Now this quest is available for all classes and it can vary depending on the server type. 
You can start the first part at level 380 by going to Apostle Devin, Lorencia, near bar. He will tell you to bring 3 items:
- Flame of Death Beam Knight, dropped only by the Death Beam Knight in Tarkan2 around 175 215
- Horn of Hell Maine, dropped only by the Hell Maine in Aida2 around 115 65
- Feather of Phoenix, dropped only by Phoenix of Darkness in Icarus around 40 200
That's the hardest part of the quest, the items can be dropped in few hours to few days.
After delivering the quest items, you will be asked to be level 400 in order to proceed.
The Apostle will tell you to kill 20 x each monster from Barracks. The NPC for warping into Barracks is situated in CryWolf(60 235) or near Lorencia Bar. 
For the third part you will need to kill the Dark Elf in Refuge. So you will need to head back to Barracks, and to go to the Refuge Gate at the end of Barracks(120 170). Inside you will find the Dark Elf.
By finishing the 3rd Quest, you will evolve, and you will unlock the Master Skill Tree (Press A). You gain master points by killing specific Master Level (ML) mobs. 
Maximum ML : ~200
!!! I strongly recommend you to test each upgrade of the skill tree (and not only) on the Test server in order to make sure that you will actually obtain the desired result!

About the in-game events:
-Chaos Castle: 
You can find the invitation for Chaos Castle (CC) at the shop from Lore Bar (Armor of Guardsman is the item).
As you can see if you click on the Invitation, there are 7 CCs, 1 for each different level range. This invitation works for any level -only for CC, for other events you will need to craft the right invitation for your level- .
Inside CC you will have to wait until registering stops (multiple players can join), and you will have a specific skin (so it will be quite hard to distinguish the players from mobs). Mobs have a very high chance to drop jewels inside CC.
There will be a total of 100 characters (players+mobs), and the last standing man is the winner. The winner has a reward (from jwls to ancient items, etc). So you go CC for farming items/jwls.
 
-Blood Castle:
For Blood Castle (BC), you need to craft the right invitation based on your level (check server details for the required levels, or simply ask a player). Let's say that you have level X and you need the BC Y invitation. You need to find Blood Bone +Y and Scroll of Archangel +Y. Take these 2 items and a Jewel of Chaos to the Goblin in Noria, hit the Regular Combination button and voila. Then right click on the invitation when you are in safe-zone to Warp into BC.
There the main goal is to cross the bridge, destroy the gate, and destroy the statue that will appear up on the throne, after killing some mobs. The player that destroys the statue will acquire the Weapon of Archangel, and he need to bring it back to the starting zone and click on the Archangel to get the reward and end the event. You can team up with your party against other players/parties. 
The experience gained in BC is being usually doubled, so you can use this event for level up too.
 
-Devil Square:
Just like for BC, you will need to craft the right Devil Square (DS) invitation for your level. You will need Devil's Eye, Devil's Key and a Jewel of Chaos for your Goblin combination.
Inside DS the experience gained is being doubled, and the mobs might drop some end-tier spells, besides jewels and ancient items, etc.
You can team up with your party for a faster kill. This event is used for leveling up.
 
-Golden Invasions:
From time to time, some maps will be invaded by some Golden Creatures (a message will be displayed on global chat). You need to find and kill these Goldens in order to receive some rewards. One of the basic rewards for killing these Goldens is the Box of Kundun (BOK). The level range for BOK is 1 ~ 5, depending on the level of the Golden that you have killed. By dropping this BOK, you will find an Excellent Item. Hunt more Goldens for finding all the items / weapons from a set. 
Details about spawn points and drop list at Info for each server.
Also, check the server info for more invasions, like Rabbits, White Wizard, etc.
 
-Illusion Temple:
Once the event start has been announced you have 5 minutes time to go to the Illusion Temple NPC (Elbeland 55 240) and register for the level/reset range you are in. The event consists out of two teams(randomly generated - max 2 teams of 5 ppl) who will try to get as many items from the Stone Henge NPC as possible. Once a player has received the item he will be slowed. Returning the item to the base camp will get the team 1 point. The players will not be able to use their skills in battle. They will be granted skills only when killing adversaries. Also the players look will change just like in chaos castle.
When you enter you are warped inside the waiting room until illusion temple starts, when it starts teams are putted together 'alliance' and 'illusion' team. Teams are random meaning u cannot chose your ally nor your opponent. In illusion temple the purpose of the game is to capture the 'illusion temple ball' located in the north and in the south of the map you must return these to a container at your starting place

Note: your running speed while carrying the ball will decrease dramatically making u slow and easy to catch
When the ball carrier is killed he drops the ball. When you return the ball to your starting place your team will gain 1 point. Max points: 7

When you kill an opponent you will gain 5 killpoints, this being your personal score and not from the team. These points are to use special abilities inside illusion temple.
Magic shield order: 5p. Function: Prevents 100% of DMG, duration 15 sec; Resistance order: 5p. Function: Paralyzes the enemy for 15 sec; Tracking order: 10p. Function: teleports you to the Ball; Freeze time: 5p. Function: Takes enemy 50% of SD.

Once the event starts, players who are in are assigned to a random team and get a team uniform.
For each opposing player killed, the killing team gets five skill points which can be spent to temporarily improve their character during the event. On top of killing other players, there are 2 statues located in the event map, each holding an event ball.
Each team's base also comes equipped with a pedestal, where players can bring back the event balls for points. Once a ball is taken from a status, both statues disappear. 

They reappear again once a team returns the ball to their respective base.
The first team which is able to return the ball seven times first wins. So not only is it important to kill the opposing team as much as possible, but to also gather as many event balls as possible while preventing the opposing team from doing the same. The ball carrier will move in slow motion, so it's important for his or her teammates to work together to protect the ball carrier from the opposing team. Once a ball carrier is killed, disconnected or leaves the event, the ball will fall to the ground and is able to be picked up by any player on either team.
 
-CryWolf Event:
This event happens twice a week. 
In CryWolf is a Statue with some pedestals. At the beginning, at least one ELF has to stand on a random pedestal during the whole event. The last ELF mustn't move or die, because the event will be canceled. The Kundun army will spawn, and the rest of the players must defeat the army, and protect the Elves on pedestals and the Statue. Each mob kill has a nice reward, plus, if the event is finished, the WHOLE SERVER will get some bonus exp (for example, on Phoenix you get 15% bonus exp after finishing CW event).
 
-Refinery Tower:
Refinery Tower is the place where you can refine Gemstones, and turn them to Jewels of Harmony (with an 80% chance of success). The Refinery Tower entrance is located in Kanturu Relics(140 185). Sometimes the refinery is open(meaning that the Refinery Event was finished before by another player/s).
If you find the Refinery Tower closed, you have to complete the event.
First of all, you will need a Moonstone Pendant equipped, which drops in the same map from regular mobs. After acquiring the pendant, you have to wait for the gate to be opened. Once you are inside, you will fight Maya's hands and minions. After defeating them, you have to face the boss, Nightmare, which drops nice rewards when killed. After Nightmare is killed, the Refinery Tower will be open again for everyone for a certain amount of time.
 
-Castle Siege:
This event has a dedicated topic, since our system is unique. Check the forum info for your server !
 
***
 
-Wings:
Wings are special items that can be obtained by farming and upgrading another items. There are multiple kind of wings: Small Wings, Level 1 Wings, Level 2 Wings, Level 3 Wings, Level 4 Wings.
The rate of success for wings is influenced by the items that are used.
For example, the small wings will be dropped from one of the rings that you will find in your inventory when you first log in to the game. You need to be at least level 80 to be able to drop this ring.
For Wings lvl 1 you need to combine some low tier items at the Goblin(Noria). Wings level 2, 3, 4 are just upgrades from wings lvl 1, and you need to acquire certain items for each upgrade.
I will give an example of basic Wings lvl 1 combination:
Careful, DL / RF cannot equip any level 1 Wings !
Below you will find info about some jewels too.
First you need to go to the Goblin(Noria), hit the Chaos Weapon Combination button. For this combination you'll need an item at least +4 and +4 Additional Dmg/Def (add). I suggest you to use an item dropped by a Medal. But you can also upgrade an item to +4 (or more) using Jewel of Bless and Jewel of Soul. You can upgrade your item to +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 with Jewel of Bless in a 100% safe way. Just drag it into the item. You can't go higher than +6 with Jewel of Bless. From +6 to +9 you will need to use the Jewel of Soul, but here the chance of success is not 100% (your item level can go back from +2 to +1, +7 to +6, +8 to + 7, etc, or from +8 to +0). 
If you want to some Additional Damage / Def (ADD) for your item, you need to use a Jewel of Life (JOL). By dragging the JOL into the item you will sum +4 ADD. If you drag another JOL your item will go to +8 ADD, etc.
Careful, the JOL can also downgrade the ADD (from +4 add to +0, +12 to +8, +12 to +0, etc).
Max ADD on items: Usually +28
Max ADD for Goblin: +16. If you upgrade your items up to +16, your general chance for Chaos Combinations will be increased. If you exceed +16 ADD (+20, +24, +28), your item ADD will be count as 0 or smth.
So for our Chaos Weapon Combination we need an item at least +4 and +4 add and a Jewel of Chaos. You can raise the levels of the items for a better chance of success. I have used a Plate Helm +8 +12add for a 62% chance of success, then I used a JOL to upgrade the add to +16 for a 100% chance of succes and the Chaos Weapon has been created. I got it +2 and +0 add. For the next step we need again our Chaos Weapon to be at least +4 and +4 add. You can upgrade your current Chaos weapon with Bless, Soul and JOL or you can go for another combination. I'll go for another combination. Damn, I got a new Chaos Weapon, but this time it's +1 and +0 add. Better upgrade the previous one from +2 and +0 add to +4 and +4 add. 
For step 2 I will use the +4 and +4 add Chaos weapon to create the wings. Click on the Goblin, and hit the Regular Combination button. Now insert your Chaos Weapon and a Jewel of Chaos to create the wings. But wait, my chance of success now is only 11%. I will upgrade the Weapon to +5. Meh, not good, 13%. I will upgrade the ADD to +8. 19%. We need more. Wait, there says that if I add a Jewel of Bless or Soul to the combination the rate will increase. Let's see. 24% with a Jewel of Bless. 28% with both Bless and Soul. We need more. There says that we can add a +4 and +4 add item to increase the rate. I will find another item. I just got a Lightning Sword +5 and +4 add. 46%. I need a better item. By the time I got me another Lightning Sword +7 + add 4. Let's try the combination with this new sword. 68%. And if I add my old Lightning Sword +5+add4 I get 86%. I just hit the Combine button, and I got some Wings Level 1 for Elf.
If your combination succeeds, you can get Wings of Satan (for Dark Knight / Magic Gladiator), Wings of Heaven (Dark Wizard / Magic Gladiator), or wings of Elf, random.
Now we can equip our wings (if they're matching our class), or we can trade them.
 
Wings level 2 are just an upgrade from wings level 1. Now DL and RF can create their own wings(capes).
If you want to upgrade your lvl 1 wings to lvl 2, you will need a Feather (for BK, SM, MG, ELF and Summ) or a Crest of Monarch (for DL / RF). Both the Feather and the Crest of Monarch can be found in Icarus by killing mobs.
Your need 1st quest to be able equip these wings.
I suggest you to raise the add of the Wings to +12 or +16 for a higher chance.
I have a pair of lvl 1 wings of Elf +1 +12 add, 1 chaos and 1 Feather. My chance is 53%.
There it says that I can add again an item to increase the rate. But this time it has to be an Excellent item.
Luckily I already have a Skull Shield +7 +luck +add8 +zen and I get a 87% chance and I got some Summoner Wings level 2 +HP.
Again, the wings will be random (in case of success). For DL / RF capes use Crest of Monarch instead of Feather.
 
Wings level 3
For wings level 3 you need 3rd quest in order to be able to equip 'em.
You need these items for your Chaos Combination:
-Condor's Flame: has a very low drop rate in Swamp
-Feather of Condor: you need to craft this item
-1 Jewel of Chaos
-1 bundle of 10 Bless
-1 bundle of 10 Soul
-1 Jewel of Creation
-an Excellent item +9 +add4 at least
The max rate of success for Wings level 3 is 40%.
Feather of Condor combination ingredients (max rate of succes 60%) : Wings lvl 2 +9 +add4 (you don't need more for wings) + Ancient item +7 +add4 (at least) + 1 Jewel of Chaos + 1 Jewel of Creation + 1 bundle of 10 Soul.
Tip: always use +16 add on items for the best success rate at Chaos Combination (where the ADD does matter for the combination)
I suggest you to use high-tier ancient items (Hyon Sword or/and Gywen Bow) at least +9 +add16 for a higher chance. For example with Wings of Dragon +9 +add4, 1 bundle of 10 soul, 1 chaos, 1 creation and 1 Hyon Sword +9 +add16 I get 30% chance of succes. If I add another Hyon Sword +9+add16 I get 60% chance of Succes.
Another way to increase your chance is to upgrade your ancient item to +10. With only 1 Hyon Sword +10 +add16 I get 53% chance of succes.
After crafting the Feather, we can go back to our basic combination: Condor's Flame, Feather of Condor, 1 Jewel of Chaos, 1 bundle of 10 Bless, 1 bundle of 10 Soul, 1 Jewel of Creation and an Excellent items +9 +add4 at least.
For this combination I have a Rune Blade +9 +add16. My chance of success is 25%. I suggest you to use MG weapons for this combination. 
I can upgrade my Rune Blade to +10 for a 38% chance of succes or bring another Exc item +9 +add16.
If your combination succeeds, you will acquire a pair of random Wings level 3 (Capes for DL / RF included now) with random options. I just got a Cape of Emperor +ignore for DL with 38% chance of success.
When it fails : 
All the items that were put into the combination will disappear.
For Wings level 4 we have a special topic, please check it out.

About Gens:
Maybe you have noticed that you can not access the "Battle" maps. That's because on these maps only the members of Gens are allowed. Gens is a PvP system,  and you can earn contribution points and reward from PvP against the opposing Gens. There are 2 Gens families: Vanert and Duprian. You can join any Gens family by going to the special gens NPC, near Lorencia Ring. After you have joined a family, you will free PK the opp family in the battle maps, and you can't see opps names on battle maps.
 
***
 
We also want to offer you the best gameplay, so we have created a Special Series of Events, made by staff.
More details here ----> https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/1651-osp-weekly-events-monthly-competition-legends-group/
 
This is only the basic guide for you to start.We strongly  recommend you to browse the info for your server! Google is sometimes a good source too.
 
I will let this topic open for any questions .
 

Ok, so I figured out some of the ancient item formulas.
In order for an item to be ancient, that specific item has to be part of an ancient set, like you can't have Agnis Gloves since the Agnis set has only helm, armor, pants and a ring. 
The code for these items is the same, just like for the normal items, with the only difference that you need to add another 5 at the end.
Example:
Adamantine Armor code: 7 26 0 0 0 0 0 0
Agnis Adamantine Armor code: 7 26 0 0 0 0 0 5
But there are some tricks, the same item can be contained by multiple sets (Like Katana ring of poison and Agnis Ring of poison), in this case you have to increase or decrease that last 5
Example:
Kantata's ring of poison code: 13 9 0 0 0 0 0 5
Agnis ring of poison code: 13 9 0 0 0 0 0 6
I hope you guys will find this handy
If you find any other things, feel free to share them with us.
STILL WANTED: Codes for socket items (with controlled number of slots) !!!

Hello OldSquaders & Guests,
Many of you were expecting us to announce the new Max30RR edition, as its time has come.
We won't release Max30RR as our next edition, it will be kept for later on this year.
Due to the amount of good feedbacks received from you, our dear players, and the 'not-as-expected' experience that our current NonReset offered (yes, we can also fail, it's part of learning/adjusting to player needs process), we decided to profit from the momentum that we currently have and to reward our non-reset lovers for their valuable input, giving it one more shot without waiting 1 more year for the next non-reset style (to lose the momentum and feedback in time).
And, that's not all, we decided to combine the non-reset experience with the reset-experience in order to reward those 'reset-lovers' that were waiting for the new Max30RR edition.
Aaand, that's not all, while current NonReset is (should have been) a full hard-core non-reset server (we promise that will be, on his next edition), our new project is kinda semi-hard style (not hardcore, not medium, a combination of them), and a much different experience compared to current NonReset (that still keeps his unique gameplay).
We want to present you our next server: Project Phoenix (suggestive name, arghh?)
Once again, in this MU Online world, OldSquad is bringing another innovation to this oldie game!
Phoenix will have a completely unique and different gameplay compared to anything you have played before.
Spoiler (from gameplay info):
 

You would think that this are the only things that Phoenix brings. You're totally wrooong!

We worked (and we're still working) hard to touch all of your good feedbacks for Phoenix.
That means, up to 60% of the gameplay will be totally reworked (events, PK system, items progression, rates, characters builds diversification, socket system/seeds rework, new features, etc. etc.)
While there is no full info yet, we'll keep you updated as we're working on and we'll try to release info one at a time, before the opening.

What we can release you now is that, another major change that we made is to rework entire credits system & VIP system:
 
We want for our Phoenix to be the greatest MU Online experience that you had ever had! And we'll work like slaves to make it real!
If you have any thoughts/opinions on what we released / will release related to Phoenix, we're waiting you on his dedicated topic from General Discussions zone.
Expected release date: 15/22 March - we'll announce you with at least 10 days before we set it, based on our work progress.
Phoenix dream is helped to get real by community-feedbacks and the constant work & brainstorming of our staff, special mentions for @Gion & @Legion.
#MakeMUGreatAgain!

Release date: 19.02.2019
Changelog:
Reworked Helpers:  
Reworked Quiz Event:  
Fixed EE rule to trigger on Relics (as it's normal map now). Fixed some weapons that were not matching the damage shown on client (now all weapons are matching the damage shown). Added spectate option for OSGM Events (10 slots, you can write /spectate to join as a spectator).
Note: You can only attend to spectate once per Event (if you d/c, leave, etc. you can't come back). Fixed minimum & maximum damage seeds to work normally (they were reversed). Other small fixes/adjustments.

*Moved into the right section. 
*I want to point out that this is not the first time when Krass has this type of behaviour. 
Our staff will discuss about the charges, and we will be back with the decision. 
Note: If the respondent admits that he was wrong and he will apologize, we might "double think" the punishment time, but he has to do it before our decision will be posted.
Thank you

Haven.t figured out yet the commands for ancient items and socket items(with slots).
For socket items I suggest the players to go Crywolf and spawn many medusa bosses.
I will come with an edit if I will find anything about the ancient drops.
Later Edit: below info about ancients
Smth more about items:
/drop A B C D E F G 5/6 A = Item group (read Items.txt) B = Item sub-index (read Items.txt) C = Level (from 0 to 13) D = Skill (0 or 1) E = Luck (0 or 1) F = Option (0 to 7) G = Excellent option 5/6 = Ancient Options(either 5 or 6, check which one is working for your wanted item) If you want to create an ancient item, I suggest you to let G=0, if you want to avoid bugs. Sum these numbers: Weapon and Pendant Excellent Option: 1 = Mana recovery after monster hunt +mana/8 2 = Health recovery after monster hunt +HP/8 4 = +7 Speed 8 = More damage +2% 16 = More damage +level/20 32 = Excellent damage rate +10% Note: Combine number and you can make an exc item option. Sample: 8+32=40 Drop Code: /drop 1 0 0 0 0 0 40 = Exc Small Axe+Dmg 2%+EDR :) Sets/Shield/Ring Excellent Option 1 = Increase Zen After Hunt 40% 2 = Defense Succes Rate 10% 4 = Reflect Damage 5% 8 = Damage Decrease 4% 16 = Increase MP 4% 32 = Increase HP 4% 63 = Full Option Note: Combine number and you can make an exc item option. Sample: 8+32=40 Drop Code: /drop 6 0 0 0 0 0 40 = Exc Small Shield+HP 4%+DD 4% :)

I agree with some of your points of view, we will take into account some of your suggestions.

About OSGM and OSP -----> 
 

Updates are up!
Don't forget to update the client via Launcher in order to have the minimap spots!
Also, as a last part of this upgrade, we created a new quality of life feature for you.
You can write /maps from now on and you'll see the current amount of players from most important leveling maps (in order to decide where to go and try to find a party - more populated maps - or where to go to find a spot with your party - lower populated maps).
Let us know if you'll find anything wrong after this update (it was a big one, so we expect some reports).

Note: You'll experience guild bugs for some time, in order to fix it you can do a char relog.
Enjoy!
 

Hello,
Based on your feedbacks and after many hours of intense work, we're here to announce a new release that is getting us to the next level!
We've finished the rework of all the spots & and mobs from spots from game!
It will be live on Saturday (02.02.2019) at around 20:00 - a server restart will be required and while reconnect is possible it is not guaranteed!

Main objectives of rework:
- Raise the competition for better spots while making sure everyone have a place to level up - with or without fighting for better spots.
- Raise the overall balance between all the maps to make sure the progress is made in the greatest way from lowest maps to highest maps.
- Raise the newbie's and even pro's awareness of all the spots from the game.
- Make all maps feel nice designed, without different or broken spots structures, without too close spots that can be abused, etc.
Spots rework:
- Some spots have been added, some spots have been moved and some spots have been removed.
- All the spots from game have been manually reworked.
- Now every map is progressive, this means that the more you move into the map the better the mobs/combinations of mobs will be.
- Now each spot is following a strict pattern of spawn coordonates:
1. For low maps (Devias1-4, Dungeon1-3, Atlans1-2, LostTower1-7) the 7 mobs spots are spawning in 6x6 coords and the 8 mobs spots are spawning in 8x8 coords.
2. For medium maps (Atlans3,Tarkan1-2,Aida1-2,Kanturu1-3) the 7 mobs spots are spawning in 7x7 coords and the 8 mobs spots are spawning in 9x9 coords.
Exception: Icarus that have only 5 mobs per spot and mobs are spawning on 6x6 coords.
3. For high maps (Karutan1-2,Crywolf,Relics) the 7 mobs spots are spawning in 8x8 coords and the 8 mobs spots are spawning in 10x10 coords.
- Now the number of 8 mobs spots is reduced overall and it is between 20% and 35% of spots.
- Now the 8 mobs spots can't be found at the start of the maps (you need to move and look for them).
- Now mobs can't run from spots for more than 2 coordonates on their own (only if lured by players they can move more).
- Now almost all mobs from game are included in spots (on almost all maps).
- Now the distance between spots is minimum of 12 coords (on restricted areas) and minimum 15 coords on non-restricted areas.
- Now I'm pretty sure there is no more broken spots, but if you find anything let me know, probably I passed it by mistake.
- Now all the spots are showing on MINIMAP (TAB)!
- Now you can keep the cursor on the spot marked from minimap and it will show you the mobs type from that spot.

+

- Overall exp for level 1-400 have been increased on each level stage (with 5-25%).
- Overall exp for ML have been increased on each level stage (with 4-10%).
- Added a new quality of life feature:
You can write /maps from now on and you'll see the current amount of players from most important leveling maps (in order to decide where to go and try to find a party - more populated maps - or where to go to find a spot with your party - lower populated maps -).

+
Maps changes:
- Now you can get ML exp from mobs over level 95 (default GMO).
- Now non-pvp maps (Aida,Karutan1,Crywolf,Kalima7) are having 80% global exp instead of 75%.
- Now Kalima5 is a normal map not non-pvp anymore.
- Now Swamp is Battle Map while Relics is normal map.
+
Battle Maps changes:
- Swamp, Vulcanus, Raklion - 7 mobs on all spots spawning on 8x8 coords, +8% global exp compared to normal maps.
- Atlans - 7 & 8 mobs on spots, + 5% global exp compared to normal maps.
- Removed the Gladiator's Glory buff (vulcanus bonus exp) from game to make sure everything is balanced (while level of vulcanus mobs have been raised).
+
Mobs Rework:
- All the mobs from SPOTS (not events/quests,etc.) have been manually reworked, one by one.
That means all the mobs are more balanced and feel more smooth/progressive than before.
- Some mobs have also seen a cut in exp (their level) while others have received a buff.
- Difference between swamp mobs and the rest of maps isn't that big anymore but still noticeable.
- Now normally any similar mobs (in terms of level/exp) are sharing pretty similar attributes (dmg,def,hp,etc.).
- Some mobs are stronger now while others are weaker than before (in terms of attributes).

Now all maps can be played at full potential and in a balanced way!

I hope you'll enjoy this big rework as we had put a lot of soul and time into it!

What is Riddle Event ?
I ll announce that there will be a riddle and what reward for it, afterwards any time in next 1 hour ( I ll pick random time, but in between events, invasions, bosses, etc. )
You have to know somethings about MU, but at start i wont over complicate event and wont choose any high level mob maps so new players can as well try.
And to see how it will do with this event...
 
So how it the game ?
Server will notice  -  RIDDLE TIME
and there will be a riddle about MU ( for start i ll pick locations, NPC`s or coordinates on map )
I ll stay hidden and you need to come to that spot ( answer ) and pm me, IF IT`S ASKED BEFORE RIDDLE, only when you are there.
Because if its safezone or crowded spot, i cant decide by appearance on spot.
I ll tell if need pm.
If that player is right and he is at specific answer spot, I will announce winner and will trade you with reward.
IF I DON`T ANSWER, SO YOU ARE WRONG OR NOT THERE.
I will try to make riddles about 1 possible answer ...
For example, i tried 1 riddle before where answer was CHURCH , and as you know there are 2 churches in Devias. 
And the winner was that who went to Devias2 church. 
Had to polish a bit riddle to be more specific. 
I know it will take time to polish and improve this event but i hope people can understand the basics how to participate.
 

Sure boss, just a second

Yo, this is a serious problem, why my topic was moved into spam zone, but @iQons topic was not?
We have the EXACT same problem

So I bought silver VIP today and GUESS WHAT ? I AM NOT BETTER AT PVP
I think it's only ADMINs fault and I want a refund. 
I want to mention that I have bought the silver one, not the bronze.
X(

Ok, we just checked the drops for VIPs and nonVIPS, because your guild mate Mutter reported the same thing.
Here are the diagnostics:
-The VIP drop is OK, nothing has been changed since forever, the drops are increased as against NonVip
-The NonVIP drop is also OK, which leds us to the following conclusions:
The drop is now based your your luck, if you buy VIP we guarantee that your chance will be raised with x%. But if your luck is 0, 0% * x%, you do the math.
Now it depends on how many mobs you killed, if you were killed after 10 minutes of being AFK, etc
Ty for understanding

Dragon Boots +DD+DSR+Luck
Dragon/Bronze Shield +DD+DSR+Luck
Ring +DD+DSR
(And all Black Dragon +DD+DSR+Luck)

Welcome

Okay, I want to reiterate that I truly find this server exceptionally enjoyable, because whenever I post here, it's usually a suggestion or criticism about certain economic negative aspects which are hard to pinpoint.
It's a rewarding server. In spite of the non-liquid economy, collecting the set you want is hard, and getting new stuff is rewarding in general. Even though it skips over the reward of finding non-medal items. There's a decent amount of honest normal players. It's actually been over 10 years since I've made a guild and actually made an effort to find nice guild members. To my surprise, I succeeded, and am actually predominantly partying with them, and having real conversations that are not Mu related. The GMs and administrators actually answer people. I frequently think to myself days after having written some criticism: "Hmm, this ain't so bad after all." It's kind of silly that my list of pros isn't more extensively written than critical posts. I guess that's me being at fault for taking things for granted. I'll update this list when other positive aspects come to mind, because the reasons are plentiful. Some aspects could be a lot better, but others could be a lot worse. Overal, this server deserves appraisal.
Thank you.
