1.0 About this FAQ
Well, hello everyone. This is my first FAQ, so I hope you like it. You can use
this FAQ for yourself, as long as you don't sell it, don't take credit for it,
etc. If you want to use it for your website, please E-mail me before doing so.
If you have any comments, doubts, critics, or additions you can contact me on
alped1234@yahoo.com.ar.
In this FAQ I'll try to cover everything about Mu Online, but not only the
Global Mu(see below), but everything Webzen removed from it too. I'll also try
to explain how to play, and explain how the game works, as there isn't a real
"ending" on this game. This isn't meant to be a walktrough, but more like a
guide to introduce people to Mu Online and it's features.
If you want to find something, use Control-F and look for a section. This FAQ
isn't really big anyway, so don't worry ^^.
Version History:
Version 1.2: Added the missing Devil Square monsters. Added the Attacking
and the Durability and Full Set sections. Corrected some mistakes.
Version 1.1: Corrected a mistake on the Stats section
Version 1.0: The basic FAQ
1.1 About Mu Online
First of all, this game, it's characters, design and that stuff are all
Copyrighted to Webzen, nothing on it is mine. By the way, this game is Korean,
but don't worry as it's fully translated most of the time.
This game is not like other games where you go, kill the final boss and
Game Over, Mu is an MMORPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game)
which has almost no end. At the beginning it seems that your only have to
kill monsters but you end up making new friends (REAL-life friends) and
you have a really good time playing. The game itself is really addictive
and it takes a very long time to level up, get what you want and that stuff.
The game itself really doesn't have to do a lot with it's "storyline"(if you
even think that story has to do with the game), but it's still attractive, as
it's 3D, the characters don't have polygons or pixels; everything looks really
neat. A main thing you should keep in mind is that the Mu provided by Webzen
is called "Global" and the ones hosted by regular people are called "Private
Servers". I have nothing to do with Webzen, but Global is more to show people
what Mu will look like when finished(as it's still a beta, but a very complete
one), so it doesn't have many things, and it's extremely hard to get anything.
2.Before Playing:
2.0 What do I need to play Mu Online?
Believe it or not, you may have several problems with Mu at first. Maybe you
have the ultimate computer with the ultimate updates and accessories, but as
any game Mu needs some files. The thing is, where to get them? If you are
going to play Global you only have to go to the official site:
http://www.muonline.com. I don't really want to make critics, but this page
is really slow, as it's hosted in Korea(no offense to anyone, I mean, it's a
long distance) and it's not just plain text or HTML. Anyway, you register
there and then you can download the files.
Mu's standard client is about 80-85 MB. It takes long but it's worth it. On
the site you can also see information about monsters, characters, game system,
etc., but the site is somewhat incomplete. If you have an experienced friend,
then you are lucky, as it's hard to understand some stuff if you haven't
played a similar game before. Also, if you have never played Mu before,
you shouldn't start on Global as it's very hard to get strong there. This is
where Private servers are important.
2.1 Which is the difference between Global and Private?
Global is the server hosted by Webzen. Private servers are servers that any
person in the world host. Most Private servers have different settings than
Global. This settings are often:
Experience
Drop Rate
Shops
Jewel Bugs
Connection Speed
Of course there are many others, as if you own the server you can change most
of the game. If you just begin playing Mu, you should try playing on a
private server first. This is, because of the settings that Private servers
can manipulate. Check the Private Server section for more information.
2.2 How to start Global
When you finish downloading the client, you just open it and it installs
by itself like any program would do. When you finish, open the game.
You should see the client. This little window allows you to connect.
you should see a window inside it which shows the lastest news on
Global Server, and 3 buttons: Options, Connect and Exit. In Options
you can write your account's name so you don't have to type it when you
log in. You can change Mu's resolution(you should do it or text may look blurly
and it will run slower), and Enable sound and/or music. A big plus this client
has is that if Webzen updates in any way the server, it automatically
updates itself. Quit is self-explanatory and Connect starts the game.
2.3 How to start Private
Private servers often have different versions from Global's. Global's
is always around 98 which updates every now and then but Privates have
a stable version which should be available on that server's page.
The most popular versions are 97 and 97D(there IS a difference). Less
used versions are 96Y, 97B, and 98. Often, servers which really dedicate
themselves develop their own clients(or even own versions) to connect
to them, but, most of the time you can use this two methods i'm going to
explain:
Launcher:
In most Private server sites, you should find the 80 MB client(this client is
often version 96Y), below it the server's version(97, 97D, etc.) and a
translation as the main client is often in Korean. The way to
"install" this is extracting the main client on a folder, then overwrite
it with the server(s)'s version, then extract the translation in [where you
extracted the client]/Data/Local overwriting the Korean Names.
Now, the main client(the 80 MB thing) often has the launcher on it.
The file is named most of the time "Launcher.exe". When you open it
you will find something similar to Global's client. You can change
the resolution, turn on sound and/or music AND ALSO you can register
multiple servers on it, BUT they all have to use the same version.
It's pretty easy to do. There's often a server with foreign characters,
ignore it. Click the ADD button. You should get something like this:
NAME:
SERVER IP:
PORT:
REG PAGE:
In name just type any name. On server IP you have to type the IP of the
Private server you want to play. If you don't know what an IP is, it's
like the phone number of a computer. If the Launcher knows it, it can
"call" to the server. IPs are composed of 4 numbers from 0 to 255.
an IP could be 200.172.64.12(if someone has that IP, sorry, I just
chose four random numbers). Some servers also get a different IP address
which is not a group of numbers, but it's more like a website. An
example would be "dabestserver.no-ip.com". This "website" IPs often are
from No-IP, Servergame, or Dydns. Anyway, back to the client. Port
is the port where the client will connect to. This port is very, very
rare to change. It's almost always 44405, only a few Korean servers have
different ports(don't really know why, but Korean servers have their own
client most of the time). Reg page it's for you to remember the registration
page, it's optional.
After choosing your server from the drop-down list, just click RUN.
Shortcut:
This method is simplier than the launcher and you can do it with
any server that you know it's IP, version and port. Look at the server's
version at it's website. Find the directory where you installed that version
and look for a file named "Main.exe". I don't really know a lot about
different Operative Systems, but create a shorcut to that file(on
Windows, right click Main.exe and choose "Create Shortcut"). Now open
the shorcut's Properties(right-click and choose Properties). There it
says where Main.exe is located, something like:
"C:\Mu\main.exe"
Now after the "s type:
" /connectu[yourserver'sIP] /p44405"
without the "s. The spaces DO matter. Of course change [yourserver'sIP] for
your server's IP.
3.Inside the Game:
After you finally chose a server, and opened Mu, you will see a button. This
button is the server you'll connect to. Global has 2 Servers: Wigle and Maya.
I've heard Wigle has harder monsters, but higher chance of dropping items,
when Maya has weaker monsters, but lower drop rate. Click it and select a
subserver. Subservers are servers with the same configuration between them;
the data is shared so you don't lose your character. Global has 8 servers on
both, Wigle and Maya, and also, on servers 1 and 15 of Global, hitting other
players is not allowed. After your decision, log in and you'll find a New
Character button, then comes the old question:
3.0 Which Character should I choose?
This can be a very hard. Mu only has 3 Characters at the beginning, and
when you level one of them to level 220, you unlock the 4th Character.
Each of them has pros and cons, their abilities, etc.
But anyway, Which is better?
Dark Knight:
The dark haired dude. This Character is based in pure strength, and meelee
combat. Often leader of groups. Pretty easy to level up. Good for beginners.
He has some flaws but it's easy to get around them. If you plan to max him
out, he becomes the powerfullest character.
Pros:
-Starts with the highest HP of all characters.
-Has more armors than the other Characters.
-These also have more defense than the others'.
-Can equip 2 One-handed weapons giving him even more power.
-His special techniques are the Skills. This Skills are attached to the
weapons.
-Can also learn a permanent attack Skill: Twisting Slash.
-Last but not least, he learns another permanent skill, but not an
attacking move, Inner Strength which increases his already high HP.
Cons:
-Starts with very low Mana and gets only 0.5 mana per level
-Has some problems with long-ranged enemies
-Mana and/or Stamina is used up really fast
-Can't hit too many monsters at once
-Can't hit enemies stading away from him.
Dark Wizard:
The dark spellcaster. This is my favorite character, but it doesn't
mean  it's the best. Pretty hard to level up. As you may think, this
character's main ability is casting spells.
Pros:
-Has a lot of power casting spells
-Can hit enemies far away, around him and all over the screen
-Has a large number of spells to cast
-Can inflict Statuses on Enemies
-Armors don't need a lot of strength to be used
-Has the highest Mana of the game and gets 2 mana per level
-Can use part of his Mana instead of HP with the spell Mana Shield.
Cons:
-Has the lowest defense on his armors
-Has the lowest HP
-Can't use most of the weapons
-Has to find the items to learn most of the spells
Elf:
Elves are the only females in Mu. Elves can be risen in two ways(Agility or
Energy), making them very useful. Both kinds can use the Multiple shoot
and the permanent Skill, Penetration, and the Energy Elf can use Summons and
White Magic AKA Sorcery. One thing to add is that this division doesn't mean
you can't switch, but it's really hard to make an Elf with both parts,
actually, it's harder than raising any other character.
Agility Elf Pros:
-Average Character on everything
-Can use stronger (Cross)Bows
-Can use some Dark Knight weapons
-Can use higher level armors
-Can train by theirselves without problems
-Has a great range and can hit about 4 enemies in one shot.
-Multiple Shoot is attached to (Cross)Bows already.
Agility Elf Cons:
-Armors and (Cross)Bows need A LOT of agility to be used
-Even with all the agility, Elves need more agility than the other
characters to get more defense.
-Bows need Arrows(Crossbows need Bolts) and if you suddenly run out of them
you have to buy more, as monsters don't drop them.
Energy Elf Pros:
-Can increase attack, Defense, and heal herself or others around(AKA buffing)
-Very useful when in a group
-Most sociable character
-You can summons monsters and let them do the dirty work, and you can even
buff it,
Energy Elf Cons:
-Very, Very hard to raise. Not recommened for beginners.
-If you lose your buffs for a split second you will be owned by the
enemies.
-As you need to increase your Energy, you can't wear stronger armors.
-Yoy can't heal your summon.
Magic Gladiator:
This character is more like a dream on Global. Reaching level 220 can
take months, but it's worth it. This red haired dude combines the Dark
Knight and Dark Wizard in one. The only weird thing is....why can't he wear a
helmet???
Pros:
-Gets 7 stat points per level instead of 5.
-His armors have the highest defense
-Can use Dark Knight and Dark Wizard weapons, skills, spells and armors
(except for Black Dragon set, Inner Strength skill, Energy Ball, Teleport
and Mana Shield).
-Looks a lot cooler than the rest ^^.
-Can also use two One-handed weapons OR STAFFS.
-Runs without boots+5(explained below)
-Swims without gloves+5(explained below)
-Can enter maps with only 2/3 of the level required.
Cons:
-Don't ask me why, but he can't wear a helmet.
-Maybe you will like more your lvl 220 character than starting all over.
-Every stat need more stat points to increase.
-His strongest armors and weapons need the highest requirements.
So, it's up to you what you like the most. Now, after choosing your character,
type his or her name(+4 Characters) and then s/he will appear on the screen.
On this screen you can always check your characters Class, Level, name and
Equipments. Double-click him/her to start playing.
After that, Mu's logo will show up while loading and you will appear in
Lorencia if you chose a Dark Knight, a Dark Wizard or Magic Gladiator. If you
chose and Elf, she will appear in Noria.
3.1 I'm in, but what's this?
As you finally start playing, you'll find your character, the city which can
be either Lorencia or Noria, two jewels, one red and one blue, and some little
icons near them.
But what's that? Let's explain slowly. The red jewel represents your HP or Hit
Points, and the blue one represents your Mana.
There are three blank spaces next to the red jewel. Those represent your
potions:the Q represent HP potions, the W represents your Mana potions,
and the E one can be one of five items, the Town Portal Scrolls, Antidotes,
Alcohols, Olives of Love or Love Charms.
Next you'll find an empty black gap if you didn't choose a Dark Wizard. That
gap shows which skill/spell/sorcery you are using. Only the Dark Wizard starts
with one, the Energy Ball.
Then, there is a flag, a magnifiying glass and a bag. The flag represents your
party, the glass shows your character stats, and the bag opens your inventory.
Next to the Mana Jewel you can see a Purple Bar which represents your Stamina
and next to that you see two buttons: One shows two "friends", which opens your
Buddy list(on Global or really high version private servers) and the one below
shows two swords, which represents your Guild.
At the bottom left you can also see the coordinates where you are standing.
Over the coordinates you find something like a button inside a button which
opens the commands menu(again, on global or high version Private servers).
Above all of this there  is a yellow bar which represents your experience.
If you hover the cursor over this yellow bar you'll see three icons, the
whisper, the chat and chat transparency.
Now, explaining even slower, here is every section for anyone who isn't
familiar to some terms:
HP: This is your life, how much damage you can stand before dying. If it
reaches 0 you die. Nothing new. If you need to recover HP, just lean on a
wall, sit somewhere, or drink a Healing Potion.
Mana: As long as you have Mana, you can cast spells, use skills or sorcery.
Mana is also known as MP: Magic Points. Mana reloads by itself but very
slowly. You can recover it faster by drinking a Mana Potion. Also, if you
level up, your Mana goes back to full.
The Gaps: When you have potions, the Q and W gaps shows how many you have. The
Healing Potions are located in the Q gap and the Mana Potions in the W one.
You can drink one of them by pressing the corresponding key(Q or W). The third
gap can be changed. To select an item for it, hover the cursor over the item
and press CTRL+E. By pressing the E key, you consume that item.
The Skill gap: to use a skill, you have to right-click, but all the charcters
have more than one skill, so if you want to choose a different one, you click
on the symbol and it shows all your skills. The one you see in the middle is
the skill you would use by right-clicking. You can also set hotkeys to your
skills by hovering the mouse over them and then hold CTRL+0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9
on it. When you press that number, you will automatically choose that skill.
Party: Party means going in a group with someone. When you open it, you'll
find all the members in the party. You can leave by clicking the X next to
your name and if you are the creator of the party, you can kick anyone out of
it by clicking the X next to their names. You can completely disolve the Party
if you created it by clicking the X next to your name. This menu shows the
location, the Hp and the names of everyone in the party.
Character: This opens a menu where you can see the name of your character, his
or her level, his/her class(Dark Knight, Dark Wizard, etc.) and your stats.
I'll explain the Stats later. You can also add points to your stats on this
menu by clicking the big "+" buttons.
Inventory: This opens your inventory(oooh!). You can equip your character here.
You pick up the item(s) by clicking on them and drop them on the place where
you want to equip them(I mean, gloves on the hands, boots on the feet, etc.).
You Character divides in the following slots:
Guardian: you can equip a Guardian Angel, Satan, Horn of Uniria or Horn of
Dinorant here.
Wings: You can equip Wings here.
Head: You can equip helmets here. Magic Gladiators don't have this slot.
Left Hand: You equip your main weapon here. If you have two weapons, you get
the attack speed from this weapon. Elves equip the Arrows or Crossbows here.
Ear: Altough you have 2 ears, you can only equip one pendant.
Chest: You equip your armor here.
Right Hand: If you are a Dark Knight or Magic Gladiator, you can equip your
second weapon here. If you are an Elf, here is where you equip the Bolts for
your Crossbow, or if you use a Bow, here is where the Bow goes. Any character
equips shields on this hand.
Hands: You equip gloves here.
Left Finger: You equip one ring here.
Legs: You equip your pants here.
Right Finger: You equip another ring here. Don't know why you can't use your
other 8 fingers but oh well.
Feet: You equip boots here.
Then you have 64 (8x8)squares which represent the rest of your inventory. Here
you hold the items you are not using like potions. Every item takes up some
squares of your inventory and there are different amounts, like 1. 1x1, 2x2,
2x4, etc.
Stamina: The Stamina is similar to Mana. If you don't have it, you can't use
skills/Spells/Sorcery which need Stamina. There are no potions to recover it,
but it reloads by itself.
Coordinates: I hope you know what they are. Anyway, maps in Mu have coordinates
like real maps. The Top-left is 0 ; 0 and the bottom right is 255 ; 255. In the
first number, 0 is West, about 127 is the middle and 255 is East. In the
second one, 0 is North, 127 is the middle and 255 is South. This is useful when
you don't know where a person is.
Buddy List: This is extremely rare to see on a private server. Often, you can
only see the button but not use it. On Global it's Enabled, and it's similar
to a Messenger service, like MSN, AOL or ICQ. You choose a buddy and you can
check if s/he is online, on which server, and you can chat with them. For a fee
of 1000 zen you can send him/her a letter which stays there until they delete
it.
Guild: You can make Guilds when you reach certain level, usually 100 or 180.
This menu is similar to the Party menu, only that it also shows if that member
is online or not and in which server s/he is. Guilds are like clans, groups,
clubs, etc.
Commands: Opens a menu with commands which are:
-Trade: Trade another player.(minimum level required: 6).
-Party: Invite that player to your party.
-Follow: If you are in a party, your character will follow the one you chose).
-Guild: Join to that player's Guild. The other player has to be the owner of
the guild(AKA Guild Master).
-Duel: Challenge the other player to a Duel. You can't Duel a Phonomaniac.
-Whisper: Speak in private with that person(minimum level required: 6)
To use this commands make sure you are using them at the right time and that
you are close to the other player. Click the command you want to use and right-
click the other player.
Experience Bar: You should know this already. If you get enough experience,
you level up. When you fill this bar, a number will show up saying how many
times you filled it. When you reach 10, you level up. If you hover your mouse
over it you can see how much experience you have and how much you need to
level up (let's say, you have 50 experience and you need 100, you will be on
the 5th bar and if you hover your mouse you'll see 50/100).
Whisper: This little ear icon is used when Whispering. If you don't want to
delete the name of your whispering's reciever, you can click here and you'll
speak normally, then click it again and you'll be able to whisper.
Chat: This opens a little chat log.
Chat Transparency: Adjusts it so you can see trough it. It isn't that dark
anyway.
3.2 Controls
I'm pretty sure you are already bored of these explanations, so let's get into
the controls:
Left-Click:
-On empty floor: Walk/Run/Fly/Ride. Movement.
-On an item on the floor: Pick up. If the item is not yours, you have to wait
for about 10 seconds(less if you are in party with that person or if the item
is a potion) to do so.
-On an item on a shop: Buy.
-On an item in your inventory: You pick it up. If you click again on your
inventory, it stays there but if you click out of it you drop the item on the
floor. If you drop it on the Shop's items, you sell it.
-On a monster: Physical Attack, not with skill. Your character will keep
hitting the monster if automatic attack is enabled(see below).
-On a request: Accept or Cancel a request.
-On an X: kick out a person of a party/guild.
-On a Trade: Accept(the O) or Cancel(the X) the trade.
-On the + in the character menu: Add 1 stat point to that stat.
-On certain walls or chairs: Sit/Lean.

-On a Shop: Open the Shop.
Right-click:
-On an potion, antidote, town portal scroll, love charm or alcohol: consume the
item.
-On a Scroll or Orb: Learn the skill/spell/sorcery(only if you meet the
requirements).
-On a player before speaking: Whisper to that player.(If you can Whisper).
-On a monster/Player and sometimes on the ground: Use skill/spell/sorcery shown
in the Skill gap. Your character will keep using that move until s/he runs out
of mana and/or stamina or by some reason can't use that skill.
-On an item when you are in your vault: Move that item to the vault.
Esc key: opens a menu with the following:
Exit game: self-explanatory.
Select Server: Returns to the Server screen.
Switch Character: Returns to the New Character Screen.
Options: Enable sound when you recieve a whisper and turn on/off automatic
attack, (also, +/- volume, and a scrolling help on Global only).
Exit: closes this menu.
F1 key: opens a little help  to remember commands. Press it again to go to the
next page, press it again to close.
F4 key: opens the chat log. You know. The last thing the players said next to
you.
Alt Print Screen: Takes a screenshot.
0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9: switches skill if you set hotkeys to them
Enter: Opens like a "console" where you can type messages. If you type anything
like "I like cookies", your character will say I like cookies and everyone
around will hear it.
If you press TAB you can type a Character's name. If you press TAB again you
can type anything like I like cookies and if that Character is online only s/he
will hear it. This is known as Whispering.
If you Whispered many players, you can press TAB and then use the keys UP and
DOWN to navigate trough their names so you don't have to type hard names like
.
If you type @ and something like I like cookies only the guild you belong to
will hear you.
If you type ~ and then I like cookies the party you are on currently will
hear you.
If you are a guild master and type @> then I like cookies, everytime a member
logs in s/he will see a "I like cookies" message.
If you type / and a weapon(or armor)'s name with the proper spelling,
it opens a little window which shows how much damage it inflicts(or protects),
how much Strength, and/or agility it needs, and which Class can equip it.
If you type /move or /warp or /go and a map's name(Lorencia for example), you
will warp to Lorencia. You have to have certain levels before being able to
warp to the maps. On global you can press the M key and find out when. This
also takes some thousands of money from your inventory.
If you type /trade, /duel, /party, /guild, or /Follow it does the same as the
corresponding command(see above).
If you type certain words like Win, or HaHa, your character does an animation
like Laughing or crying. The words are:
^^      or Haha            Laugh
;       or Sorry           Head scratch
-_-                        Cross arms
beat it or Great           Raises both arms
Bye                        Wave
Cold    or hurts           Rubs arms
Come                       Beckon someone
Cry     or T_T  or Sad     Self explanatory
don't   or Never           "No" gesture
Good    or Nice or Wow     Clap
Hello   or Thanks          Bow (greeting)
OK                         Arm pump
Respect                    Kneel
Rush                       Lead your men forward
Sir                        Salute
That                       Points

If you type # before your message(again I like cookies for example) the "I like
cookies will last longer.
If you type /1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 0 and then I like cookies, everytime
you press ALT+that number, your character will say "I like cookies" so you
don't have to type it all the time. This is called Macro.

3.3 The good and the bad:
Are all characters the same? Pretty much yes if we ignore the level and their
items. BUT, a player can be good or bad. Like in real life, killing a person=
bad, but if you put in jail a bad person(in this game, you kill him/her) you
are....good, right?
Anyway, in this game, you are shown as a Phonomaniac(I still don't understand
why it's called Phonomaniac. That would mean Addicted to communication) if you
kill many people, and a Hero if you kill many murderers.
But, what if you were hit first? This game has a little system called self-
defense. This means that if you are a commoner or a Hero and you get hit by
any player, you have a chance of 1 minute to hit back and even kill him/her
without becoming a murderer. If you are hit when you are a murderer or a
Phonomaniac, this system won't work, so don't hit people back unless
you are really mean. Also, if you hit someone, you can't exit the game, enter
or warp to another map until self-defense runs out.
Here's a little chart to explain this:
__________________________________________________________________________
|Status     |Character's name's color|  If you                           |
|Hero       |       Blue             |  Kill 3-5 murderers               |
|Commoner   |       Light-blue       |  Don't do anything                |
|Warning    |      Orange            |  Kill 1 player                    |
|Murderer   |      Light-Red         |  Kill 2 players(or the same twice)|
|Phonomaniac|      Dark Red          |  Kill +3 players                  |

So, you see, being a Phono sucks. Try to stay as commoner and you'll be
alright.
4.Items:
NOTE: If an item has a * next to it's name from now on, it's NOT available on
Global. If it has a ** next to it, check the Bugs section.
4.0 Potions:
There aren't really many potions. I call potions to anything you can consume
with the Q, W and E keys. This are potions for me:
Apple: Recovers your character's HP by a small amount.
Small Healing Potion: Recovers your character's HP by a bigger amount.
Healing Potion: Recovers your character's HP by a bigger amount.
Large Healing Potion: Recovers your character's HP by a bigger amount.
Small Mana Potion: Recovers your character's HP by a small amount.
Mana Potion: Recovers your character's HP by a small amount.
Large Mana Potion: Recovers your character's HP by a small amount.
Antidote: Heals your character when s/he is Poisoned.
NOTE: The above items can be grouped together in groups of 3 by yourself. The
server owner may edit shops to sell them in groups of 3, 5, 10, 18, 24, 50,
100, or 255 as the most common. Global only sells in groups of 3. If you
want to know exactly how much HP or Mana you'll get back with this or that
potion, you can look for the weird formulas at http://www.muonline.com in
game system>calculations.
Town Portal Scroll: Teleports you to the closest Safe area(a town or place
where enemies can't enter).
Alcohol: Increases your attack speed by 20 for one minute.
Love Charm(*): Increases your attack power by 20(similar to an Elf's buff).
Olive of Love(**): Increases your attack speed by 20 for one minute.
4.1 Accesories:
Accesories are the pendants and rings on the game. There aren't many really:
Pendant of Fire: Fire attacks have less chances to hit you.(Minimum level
required: 13).
Pendant of Lighting: Lighting attacks have less chances to hit you.(Minimum
level required: 21).
Ring of Poison: Your character has less chances of becoming poisoned. Two
Rings don't stack. (Minimum level required: 17).
Ring of Ice: Your character has less chances of being frozen. Two Rings don't
stack. (Minimum level required: 20).
Transformation rings(*): This Rings transform you into the monster of that
Ring. The use of this is fun, and also, if the monster is stronger than you,
you get the attack, defense and speed bonuses of that monster. Also, it's
animations when dying, moving and attacking. This rings have a limited use
but it's long enough to abuse it. If you are not transformed, take it out and
put it back or enter another map.
Budge Dragon Transformation Ring: Level 20
Giant Transformation Ring: Level 20.
Skeleton Transformation Ring: Level 20.
Poison Bull Fighter Transformation Ring: Level 50.
Thunder Lich Transformation Ring: Level 50.
Death Cow Transformation Ring: Level 50.
4.2 Guardians:
Guardians improve your character, but have a major weak point: They aren't
permanent. They have 255 HP, and they lose 1 HP everytime you are hit,
regardless if that hit was 1 or 200 damage. Their HP shows up on the top-right
with a green bar. When it runs out, you lose it.
Guardian Angel: Increases your HP by  50. Reduces damage by 20%. (Minimum level
required: 23).
Satan: Increases your Attack and Magic Attack(Skills/Spells) by 30%. Everytime
you hit one enemy you lose 3 HP. If you hit more than one enemy with the same
Skill or Spell, you still lose 3 HP for each enemy you hit. (Minimum level
required: 28).
Horn of Unir(l)ia: Allows your character to ride the weird monster Uniria.
Looks like a mix of unicorn and duck. Anyway, it increases your movement speed
and if you attack while riding it, it increases your agility by 30%. (Minimum
level required: 33).
Horn of Dinorant: It allows you to fly. It increases your damage by 15% and
reduces damage taken by 10%. Increases movement speed. Dark Knights can use
a skill with it named Raid. Can have several options as Increasing Agility.
(Minimum level required: 110).
4.3 Jewels
Jewels are the most expensive items of Mu. They are also used as currency.
Jewels can make lots of things. They are explained below.
Jewel Of Chaos: This is the most variable jewel and the easiest to find.
Looks like a yellow diamond(the shape, not the actual jewel).
Creates Dinorants
Creates Chaos Weapons
Creates Wings
Creates +10 Items
Creates +11 Items
Creates Fruits(with Jewel of Creation)
Jewel of Bless: This is another easy to find jewel, harder than the Chaos,
though. looks like a Light Puple Jewel.
Levels up one item by 1 on levels 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Jewel of Soul: This is a so-so hard to find jewel. Looks like a Dark purple
jewel.
Levels up one item on all levels up to level 9.
Jewel of Life(*): Very hard to find. Looks like a squared, dark, gold jewel.
Increases an item's option by 1.
Jewel of Creation(*): The hardest of all jewels. Looks like a Bless and a Soul
together.
Creates Fruits(with Jewel of Chaos).
4.4 Special Items:
These are items different from the others. If an item is called Dropper,
you have to drop it to the ground and you may recieve an item or Zen.
Box of Luck: Dropper. May drop from 1000 to 5000 Zen. On a smaller chance,
it drops low level armors and weapons, from +4 to +6 level, and from +4 to +12
option, and they may have luck. This may also drop Horn of Unir(l)ia, and
Jewels, and painfully, it may also drop nothing.
Box of Kundum: Dropper. Has different levels(Kundum+1/2/3/4(*)/5(*)).
Kundum+1 may drop 5000 zen. +2 about 10000. +3 50000. +4  100000. +5 500000.
Kundums often drop Excellent Items(See below) or high level items.
Star of the Sacred Birth(*): Dropper. Drops many different items. Very rare
to drop Zen.
Heart of Love(*): Dropper.Zen amount varies widely. Drops high leveled items or
jewels.
Sack of Magic(*): Dropper on most Private servers. The Zen is equal to a year,
Like 2003 zen. Drops low leveled items or jewels.
Silver Medal(*): Drops items or Zen. Variable.
Gold Medal(*): Same as above, but better items and more Zen.
Blue Feather(*): Used to create 2nd Level Wings.
Box of Heaven(*): Drops 1k, Renas, Jewels or Items. Usually +5 items, and on
most Privates, only money.
Rena(*): Useless unless you get some kind of profit on the server you are
playing.
Bless Fragment(*): Also known as the chin/japanese stone. Useless too.
NOTE: Star of the Sacred Birth, Heart of Love, and Sack of Magic are supposed
to appear on certain dates. Most Private servers ignore them and they are on
all the time. Anyway, the Star should appear on Crhistmas, the Heart on
Valentine, and the Sack on New Year. Also, Olive of Love is also supposed to
appear on Valentines.
4.5 The Vault
The Vault is a place where you can store the items you find and you want to
save for later or for a friend. This Vault can be found on Lorencia, Noria and
Da(e)vias. You open it by clicking on the knight with the chest. Your vault
is about twice your inventory, and can hold any item but Quest items(See
below). You can't use items(potions, jewels) warp, or exit when your Vault is
open. You can also deposit and Withdraw Zen from it, and it can hold up to
999.999.999 Zen. This Vault service isn't free, but it isn't expensive either.
As you level up, the fee increases(Level 1: 1 Zen. Level 350: 4800).
5.Armors & Weapons
5.0 Levels and Additions:
This is one of the things that makes Mu intereasting. An item has it's own
levels. This levels are indicated by a + and a number next to the item. For
example:
Short Sword
No number means it's +0.
Short Sword+1
That +1 shows that this Short Sword is stronger than a Short Sword+0 but weaker
than a Short Sword+2. Got it?
By now, there are 11 levels. You can level up items by yourself with jewels.
Jewels may fail though, so be careful. Jewel of bless always has 100% chance
of working. Jewel of Soul has a 50% chance of Working, 75 if the item has luck
(see below). So, for the first 9 levels it works like this:
Short Sword(you can use a bless or soul to level it).
Short Sword+1(you can use a bless or soul to level it).
Short Sword+2(you can use a bless or soul to level it).
Short Sword+3(you can use a bless or soul to level it).
Short Sword+3(you can use a bless or soul to level it).
Short Sword+4(you can use a bless or soul to level it).
Short Sword+5(you can use a bless or soul to level it).
Short Sword+6(you can use a soul to level it).
Short Sword+7(you can use a soul to level it).
Short Sword+8(you can use a soul to level it).
Short Sword+9
Most people don't level up things over +6, as you may fail. When you fail with
a Jewel of Soul, if the item was +0 to +6, it goes down 1 level. If the item
was +7 or +8 it goes back TO ZERO. Scary, uh?
For +10 and +11, you have to make a Chaos Combination(See below). But if this
fails, your item dissapears. Even scarier.
Most items can be dropped by monsters at levels from 0 to 5, so don't worry.
But what's the point of leveling them up? The item gets stronger, but of course
needs more requirements.
Armors gain more Defense by level but need more Strength/Agility.
Weapons gain more Damage by level but need more Strength/Agility.
Shields gain more Defense and Defense rate by level but need more Strength/Agi.
Staffs gain more Damage and Magic Damage by level but need more Strength/Agi.
Pendants give you more evasion by level but need more levels.
Rings give you more protection by level but need more levels.
Also, if your gloves are +5 you swim faster and if your boots are +5 you run
faster.
One of the best things of higher level items, is that if you die, you can't
lose them. Yep, if you die, you may drop an item, unless the item is over +5.
As a side note, a +5 ring or +5 pendant or higher may still drop from you.
The color of the items change when they are higher level. Like this:
+1: The change almost can't be seen. Item glows darker and brighter.
+2: Like +1 but more noticeable.
+3: Item glows from dark red to bright-red.
+4: Same as +3 but glow lasts longer
+5: Item glows from dark blue to light-blue.
+6: Same as +6 but glow lasts longer
+7: A glow that depends on the item shines now and then.
+8: The same glow as +8 but shines longer.
+9: The glow covers the whole item and it's permanent.
+10: Item has the +9 glow but it shines as if the item is made of "plastic".
+11: Same as +10 but the second shine last longer.
If all your armor(Gloves, Pants, Boots, Armor and Helmet except on Gladiator
armors) is +10, some yellow balls will float around you if you stand still.
If all your armor is +11, the yellow balls will appear with some  yellow lines
around you.
Additions:
Luck:
This addition comes with the weapon, shield or armor and can't be added.
If the item has Luck, when you use a Jewel of Soul on it, it increases the
chances of success, same with Chaos Combinations. When your character
attacks, s/he has a 5% chance of a critical attack by each item +luck s/he has.
Skill:
The weapons may also be dropped or sold with Skills attached to them.
If the weapon can be equipped by Elves, but the Skill is only for Dark
Knights or Magic Gladiators, she won't be able to use it. You can't add a Skill
to a Weapon.
Additional Damage: This addition, AKA Option, increases the Physical or Magic
Damage of a weapon. It increases by four, from 0 to 16. You can increase it
by Using a Jewel Of Life on it. It has a 50% chance of working, luck doesn't
affect it, and if it fails, it goes back to zero. For example, +16.
Additional Defense: This option is similar to Additional Damage, only that it
applies to Armors, and instead of being plus a definite number of defense,
it's a percentage of your total defense. It increases by four, from 0 to 16.
For example, +12%.
Additional Defense Rate: This applies to Shields. Increases your evasion. It
increases by five, from 0 to 20. For example, +15.
HP Recovery: Every five seconds, you'll get a percentage of your total HP back.
This option applies to Rings, Pendants and Wings, and unless you use bugs, you
can't increase it except for wings. This option increases by 1, from 0 to 4.
For example, +2%.
5.1 Excellent?
So, a +11+16+luck+skill would be the greatest weapon? Wrong. Items can go even
higher and not by levels, but by being completely new items. The excellent
items are dropped by monsters, but there is a very, very, very, very, very,
VERY small chance of that ever happening. Boxes of Kundum have a higher rate,
and on REAL numbers, so don't worry.
But what are these excellent items? First of all, their name is green. They
may have luck, additional damage/defense/rate/HP recovery or skill like any
regular item, BUT they hit/defend a lot stronger than the regular item.
For example:
Leather Armor+0: Defense:10. STR Requierment: 44
Excellent Leather Armor+0: Defense: 28. STR Requierement: 104
The closest defense to 28 is:
Plate Armor+0: Defense 30. STR Requirement: 207.
You see? You'll need the double STR to go over the excellent leather armor.
Also, their defense or damage is on blue numbers and letters instead of white.
In addition to their regular options, excellent items may also have other
options like:
-Increase damage +level/20: The increase is your level divided by 20.
-Increase damage +2%: The increase is 2% of your total damage.
-Excellent damage rate +10%: You have a 10% chance of hitting for 110% of your
max damage by each item with this option.
-Increase attack speed+7: Self-explanatory.
-Increase Life recovery after monster hunting+HP/8: Self-explanatory,
-Increase Mana recovery after monster hunting+Mana/8: Self-explanatory,
-Increase Zen after monster hunting +40%: You get 40% more Zen from monsters.
-Damage Increase+4%: Self-explanatory.
-Damage Decrease-4%: The same.
-Reflect Damage +5: 5% of the damage recieved goes back to the enemy.
-Additional Defense rate+10%: Self-explanatory.
-Increase HP +4%: Self-explanatory.
-Increase Mana +4%: Self-explanatory.
It's nearly immposible than an excellent item has all the options, usually it
has 1 to 3. Only the owner of the Server may create Excellent items with all
of them.
Now that we know all about items, let's see what you can wear and what you
can't. Note that "set" means Gloves, Pants, Boots, Armor and Helmet(except
on Gladiators).
5.2 Durability and Full Set
This are two little concepts applied to Equipements. Durability shows how
long it takes before the item breaks, meaning it dissapears. It takes really
long to lose 1 Durability, so don't worry. When you have 1/2 Durability of one
item, it shows up in yellow on the top-right corner. When it's 1/4, it shows
up in red. The place where the item is equipped also changes it's color. To
repair items, you can talk to the Blacksmith in Lorencia, the Crafstman in
Noria or the Weapon Merchant in Da(e)vias. If you are level 50 or higher, you
