ITEM GUIDES!

Mu Online - Items

The availability of different types of items on MU is considered the most interesting feature of the game. Besides the normal item variety, items may contain special bonuses that are assigned almost randomly. Creating a 'perfect' item within the game is almost impossible. Since items can be so different, it's quite common to have your own custom armor.
Item Level

The item can have different levels ranging from 0 to 13 on the global servers and often going further on other servers. The item will change colors or even glow depending on its level. While a higher level item is stronger than a lower level item, it will also require more strength and agility to be used.

Example: Bill of Balrog +4, Elven Bow +2, etc.

* Level 0, 1 and 2 items won't glow. The item will look normal.
* Level 3 and 4 items will have a reddish color added to its natural colour. Level 3 and 4 items are common.
* Level 5 and 6 items will have a bluish color added to its natural colour. Few level 5 items drop from enemies, and level 6 items do not drop at all. Most are upgraded with jewels though some can be acquired from boxes.
* Level 7 and 8 items will have a slight glow with the item's base color. You can only get one of these through upgrading or trading.
* Level 9, 10, and 11 items will have a strong glow that is the same color as the item's base color.
* Level 12 and 13 items will glow like level 11 except much brighter and flash a blue light.
* Level 14 and 15 items will not glow, but become much darker.

If the character wears a full set of the same armor, extra effects will be bestowed upon the character. A set with only level 10 or higher items will make small lights will fly around the character when he stands still. A set with level 11 or higher items only will add lines of energy circling around the character. At level 12 and 13, the lines will become an aura around the character.
Item Bonuses

Items may randomly have bonuses attached to them. They are commonly known as options throughout the game. These bonuses make the item stronger. These bonuses, similarily to an item's level, can be increased using a Jewel of Life. The levels range in increments of 4 (ex. +4,+8 and +12) on armor and swords, and increments of 5 on shields. The maximum bonus on an armor or weapon piece is +28, or +30 on a shield.

Example: Bill of Balrog +4+8, Elven bow +0+12

* Weapons: The bonus increases damage.
* Armor: The bonus increases defence, which will cause your character to take less damage from an enemies attack.
* Shields: The bonus increases the defence rate, which affects the probablity of the character being hit by an enemy.

Luck Items - Gained through pure luck. If you're able to find one, this item will be easier to upgrade using jewels and will increase your chance of hitting critical damage. Critical strikes hits with the maximum damage you can deal with that weapon.

Excellent Items - Very special and rare items, called excellent items, can give an extra and powerful boost to your items. An excellent item will glow the colors of a rainbow. An excellent item will have additional properties which vary from increasing total mana, to increasing overall damage. An excellent item can also increase in level, have a luck option, and have a bonus option just like normal items. Excellent weapons and armors have different bonusses. Pendants are classed with weapons, and rings are classed with armors.

Example: Excellent Elven Bow.

The bonuses for excellent weapons are:

* Excellent damage rate +10%

Mu Online - Armor Sets

These are the armor sets that are used by the characters. The sets are made of Boots, Gloves, Pants, Armor and Helm. The Magic Gladiator cannot wear a helm so his sets don't have helms, therefore he has a disadvantage. The armor a character is wearing is main way to know a character's power by look. Some higher level characters who are not able to afford more expensive armors may be mistaken for a low level. Wearing a complete set of armor where all the pieces come from the same armor set gives a bonus to defense rate equal to 10% of total defence.

The sets that a Dark Knight can wear are called the leather, bronze, scale, brass, plate, dragon, and black dragon sets. Once a Dark Knight has completed the class change quest and become a Blade Knight they are able to wear new sets. These are called the dark phoenix and great dragon sets. Dark Wizards are able to wear the pad, bone, sphinx and legendary sets. Once they become Soul masters they can also wear the grand soul and dark soul sets. Elves can wear the vine, silk, wind, spirit and guardian sets. Once they become Muse Elves they can also wear the divine and nature sets.

Magic Gladiator are a special class that can wear any of the Dark Knight and Dark Wizard sets. However they cannot wear any of the Blade Knight or Soul Master sets. To make up for this they are given their own sets that other classes cant wear. These are called the storm crow , thunder hawk, and hurricane sets.

Like the Magic Gladiator, the Dark Lord can also wear some of the Dark Knight armors including the scale and plate sets. However, they are also given their own unique sets. These are named the light plate, dark master, and sunshine sets.
