Start: what the server gives a newbie
Every new hero spawns with gear and wings. You get a +6 armor set with luck, wings for 3 days, and a Guardian Angel pet.
With this set, the first levels fly by. Better save your jewels for weapon upgrades instead of spending them right away.
Pick the class you like: Dark Knight, Dark Wizard, Elf, Summoner, and others. The starting map depends on the class: most spawn in Lorencia, Elf in Noria, Summoner in Elvenland.
Leveling maps: where to go
Move through maps as you level up. If you're more than 10 levels above the monster, EXP is heavily reduced, so don't stick to easy spots.
Key maps: Lorencia, Devias, Atlans, Tarkan, Aida, and others.
| Map | Entry level | Monster levels |
|---|---|---|
| Lorencia | 10 | 2-19 |
| Noria | 10 | 3-18 |
| Elvenland | 10 | 4-48 |
| Devias | 20 | 20-52 |
| Dungeon | 30 | 19-55 |
| Atlans | 40 | 43-74 |
| Lost Tower | 50 | 47-64 |
| Tarkan | 140 | 72-84 |
| Aida | 150 | 72-120 |
| Vulcanus | 150 | 90-113 |
| Kanturu I | 160 | 80-129 |
| Icarus | 170 | 75-108 |
| Karutan 1 | 170 | 99-114 |
| Karutan 2 | 170 | 105-120 |
| Crywolf Fortress | 200 | 97-134 |
| Kanturu III | 230 | 117-119 |
| LaCleon | 280 | 102-148 |
| Swamp Of Calmness | 400 | 95-137 |
This is not a strict sequence: you can skip maps if you feel you can handle it. Check monster levels and pick ones around your level.
Party, mentor, and EXP bonuses
Parties go up to 5 players. EXP is split proportionally to level, so it's best to level with players around your level.
Bonus for different classes: +3% for 3 classes, +5% for 4, +15% for 5 different classes in the party. This speeds up leveling a lot.
A newbie under level 200 without resets near an experienced player (level 350+ with a reset or master levels) gets +50% Zen from monsters if within 30 tiles. The mentor earns goblin points for this.
All EXP bonuses together can't exceed +50%. Don't stack extra seals and pets if you've already hit the cap.
A player returning after 7 days of absence gets +20% EXP for 24 hours. A purchased seal replaces this bonus.
Offline leveling
Set up MU Helper, stand in a good spot, and type /offlevel. The client closes, but your hero stays in the world and kills monsters according to helper settings.
Available 8 hours per day per account. EXP is earned at 70% rate. Valuable items (jewels, excellent items, ancient items, wings, pets) are not picked up and stay on the ground.
Pick a spot where your hero can handle it solo: if monsters are too strong, the helper won't save you.
Resets: a quick way to get stronger
Reset returns your hero to level 10 and resets stats, but gives free points. Each next round is stronger than the previous one.
| Reset | Minimum level | Cost, M Zen | Free points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 350 | 20 | 500 (Dark Lord 600) |
| 2 | 360 | 40 | 1,000 (Dark Lord 1,200) |
| 3 | 370 | 60 | 1,500 (Dark Lord 1,800) |
| 4 | 380 | 80 | 2,000 (Dark Lord 2,400) |
| 5 | 390 | 100 | 2,500 (Dark Lord 3,000) |
From reset 6 onward, you need level 400, cost is 20M Zen × reset number (at most 300M), and points are calculated as 500 × reset number (for Dark Lord 600 × number). After a reset, EXP may drop slightly, but not below a certain limit. Use /resetinfo to see exact numbers for your hero.
Use /reset when ready. Goblin points are also awarded per reset: 50 GP each.
Events and the best time to level
Every evening from 20:00 to 23:00 MSK, EXP doubles. This is the main leveling window.
Events give 20x the standard EXP: Blood Castle, Devil Square, Chaos Castle. One of the four daily events runs with double rewards.
MSK schedule: Blood Castle at 14:00, 19:00, 23:00; Devil Square at 16:00, 21:00; Chaos Castle at 18:00, 22:00. At 20:40, Treasure Hunt starts for 20 minutes, and at 22:00 there's a battle for guild spots.
Keep an eye on timers on the Events page. Join events during Happy Hours when EXP is already x2.
Pets, seals, and useful commands
Pets and seals give EXP bonuses, but the total EXP bonus can't exceed +50%. For example, Pet Panda gives +10% EXP and +50 defense, while Seal of Ascension gives +20% EXP.
Buy them with goblin points in the shop on the X key. Goblin points can't be bought with real money: only by playing.
Useful commands: /offlevel for offline leveling, /reset and /resetinfo for resets, /move to teleport around the map.
Distribute stat points manually or with auto-distribution: /addstr auto 1000 will send the next 1000 free points into strength.
