What it added: Core maps (Lorencia, Noria, Devias), simple leveling, party play, jewels and Chaos Machine basics.

Why it matters: This is the base of MU’s grind, upgrades, and party bonus system.

new to MU how to start

What it added: Blood Castle (grab the Archangel weapon and finish the mission) and Devil Square (big XP waves). Official guides still explain both events today.

Why it matters: These two events are the easiest way to level fast and farm jewels early.

Try this: Craft an Invisibility Cloak for BC and a Devil’s Invitation for DS, then queue from Event Square.

What it added: Dark Lord class and the Chaos Castle survival arena (everyone looks like guardsmen).

Why it matters: Dark Lord brought mounts and command builds; Chaos Castle is great for fun PvP‑style PvE and extra loot.

Try this: Buy Armor of Guardsman and jump into CC; practice moving on the shrinking platform.

What it added: Weekly Castle Siege in Valley of Loren; winners control taxes and unlock Land of Trials. Crywolf defense against Balgass with altars and the Wolf Statue.

Why it matters: This is where guilds fight for power and access to better drops.

Try this: Join a guild, farm Signs of Lord, register with the Guardsman, and defend Crywolf with Elf altar contracts.

What it added: Kanturu raid (Maya → Nightmare) and the Refinery Tower where Elpis refines Gemstone → Jewel of Harmony (yellow options). SD (Shield Defense) layer for PvP.

Why it matters: Harmony options became a standard way to power up gear.

Try this: Clear Kanturu → access Elpis → refine a Gemstone. Test Harmony lines like DEF%, Crit, or SD ratio.

What it added: 3rd Class quest (Barracks → Refuge), Master Level & Skill Tree, Summoner class, and 5v5 Illusion Temple.

Why it matters: This is the start of “modern” MU builds and end‑game talent trees.

Try this: Do Devin’s questline to unlock Master skills; queue Illusion Temple at Event Square with friends.

What it added: Socket items plus Seeds → Seed Spheres; Raklion map & boss Selupan; PvP zone Vulcanus; Moss the Gambler shop.

Why it matters: Sockets let you customize stats deeply; Raklion is tied to socket gear.

Try this: Farm Raklion → craft Seed Spheres → mount into socket gear; visit Moss for randomized upgrades.

What it added: Gens (Duprian vs Vanert) world PvP and the Doppelganger tower‑defense style event.

Why it matters: Gives structured open‑world competition and a fun party challenge.

Try this: Join a Gens family, do weekly quests, and practice Doppelganger waves with a 5‑player party.

What it added: Rage Fighter (Kalutan brawler) and Karutan 1–2 as high‑level maps.

Why it matters: RF brought charge skills and party auras; Karutan became a bridge to later end‑game.

Try this: If you like melee with support buffs, start an RF; grind Karutan for solid XP and drops.

What it added: EX700 client polish and Level 400 mastery socket gear (crafted sets/weapons for 3rd class).

Why it matters: Smoother UI and a stronger socket path before Mastery sets.

Try this: Upgrade your level‑380 socket weapon to a level‑400 mastery version when you hit 3rd class.

What it added: New Acheron area Debenter, mining/QoL systems, level cap raised to about 730.

Why it matters: Adds early elemental hunting and more levels to push.

Try this: Enter Debenter from Acheron safe zone; bring a Pentagram for elemental damage.

What it added: Uruk Mountain map with boss Lord Silvester, UI improvements, and widescreen support; MUUN system upgrade.

Why it matters: Better view of the field and a new boss loop with pentagram/socket loot.

Try this: Learn Uruk routes and portal spots; fight Silvester with a sturdy party.

What it added: New class Grow Lancer (one‑hand lance + shield) and Tormented Square survival event; Nars region content.

Why it matters: GL can scale physical or elemental damage; TS is a great timed challenge for gear/party play.

Try this: If you want a tanky female melee, try GL; use event passes to farm TS.

What it added: Ferea map (Lv 400+), Darkangel Mastery sets, Bloodangel weapons, and Divine Archangel upgrade.

Why it matters: New Mastery tier and a popular boss zone (Lord of Ferea).

Try this: Push to 400+ and farm Ferea for Mastery parts and materials.

What it added: Nixies Lake + boss Nix, Holyangel armor, Darkangel weapon lines; Deep Dungeon later in S12‑2.

Why it matters: Smooths Mastery progression and introduces tougher lake content.

Try this: Prepare resist and damage for Nix; craft Holyangel pieces as you climb.

What it added: Swamp of Darkness map (Lv 800+), cap raised to 920 (Part 1) and later 1050 (Part 2), Maze of Dimensions rework.

Why it matters: First big late‑game cap push with new gear and wings.

Try this: Hit level gates early for max‑level rewards and faster gear pathing.

What it added: Cubera Mines, Frost Blueye (5th‑grade Mastery) armor, 4th‑grade Soul weapons; global cap up to around 1100.

Why it matters: Important Mastery step; mines theme with new drops.

Try this: Farm Mines and plan your Mastery set laddering.

What it added: Slayer class (fast melee) and Crimson Flame’s Icarus content; class tweaks and events.

Why it matters: Another agile melee with high attack speed builds.

Try this: If you enjoy speed and combo play, try Slayer on a speed server.

Why it matters: Brings a new ranged caster feel to MU.

Try this: Level GC during speed‑server events for fast progression.

What it added: Kanturu Underground (enter ~1190), Earrings of Allurement accessory, cap to 1450.

Why it matters: New late‑game map with earrings that matter for end‑game stats.

Try this: Unlock the area at 1190 and start gathering earring mats.

What it added: Illusion Knight (dual‑blade mystic), Artifacts system, cap to around 1500.

Why it matters: New class fantasy and power through Artifacts.

Try this: Set an Artifact plan early; they add real stats.

What it added: Ability Upgrades & Cards (Nuke/Bolt/Wide) with Extra DMG/DEF stats; Tormenta Island; Distorted Karutan elemental hunting (S19‑2).

Why it matters: Ability Cards change how you scale damage and defense late‑game.

Try this: Match Ability Cards to your main skill style; push DKAR once you’re 1450+.

What it added: Crusader (hammer + shield, light‑damage, team auras), Aquilas Temple late‑game map, and expanded Legendary gear paths.

Why it matters: A tough front‑liner that boosts party DPS; new farming spot after S20 maps.
