Every numberon this server

Content is added while the server lives, in steps rather than in one big patch: new armour sets and weapons, new wings and pets, new events, new monsters and bosses, and whole maps to hunt them on. There is meant to always be a next thing to chase.

Whatever lands in the game lands on this wiki too. The Item Database, the Monster Database and the Monster Atlas are built from the server's own files, so a new set, a new boss or a new hunting spot shows up on those pages by itself, with its real stats, its real drop and its real spawn points. The numbers on this page are refreshed the same way.

What is coming next is announced in Discord.

A single stat caps at 32,767. Points per level depend on class:

• 5 points: Dark Wizard, Dark Knight, Fairy Elf, Summoner
• 7 points: Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord, Rage Fighter

Maxing all four stats takes 131,068 points. Standing at level 400, the pool first covers that at 16 grand resets and 98 resets — a finished character is the reward of the deep end of the ladder, not the middle.

Dark Lord carries a fifth stat, Command, and so needs a quarter more points to finish. It gets exactly that: Dark Lord earns 125% reset and grand reset points, which lands a full Lord on the same milestone as everyone else.

Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord and Rage Fighter unlock once any character on the account reaches level 150. Any VIP tier removes that requirement entirely — Bronze is enough, and the three classes become available on a fresh account. Class evolution is done through the quest chain: Sebina the Priest in Devias at level 150, Marlon at 220, then Apostle Devin at 380 and 400. /classe changes class, costs 300 Next Coin and is limited to 3 uses.

Summoner equips her first gear at level 34; the other six classes start at level 10.

The Fairy Elf's buffs are capped at their target, not at the elf: she can buff a character up to level 250 and 10 resets. Past that the buff will not land, so a deep-reset character fights on its own numbers.

Who beats whom one on one is laid out in class matchups.

The Dark Lord's mount. The Chaos Goblin makes it from a Spirit of Dark Horse — it drops from monsters of level 70 and up, 0.1% a kill — plus 5 Jewels of Bless, 5 Jewels of Soul, a Jewel of Creation, a Jewel of Chaos and 5,000,000 zen. The chance is 60%, up to 75% with VIP.

The horse grows on its own. While it is equipped it takes a share of the experience you earn from monsters and levels up to 50; every level adds to the defence it gives you, to the damage it soaks up for you and to Earthshake. A horse at 0 durability earns nothing.

The Dark Lord master tree adds three skills for it: Dark Horse Strengthener raises the defence the horse gives, Earthshake Strengthener and Earthshake Mastery improve Earthshake. There is no jewel upgrade and no stronger horse to trade up to.

A full run of 100 resets costs 1,500,000,000 zen and stacks 50,000 stat points into your pool. Note where that zen goes: the last twenty resets alone are two thirds of the bill. After any reset the pool is exactly 500 × resets + 5,000 × grand resets plus your current level points — the server recomputes it every time. /reset does one reset; /reset auto resets you automatically at level 400; /readd re-spends the cleared stats. No jewels are needed for a normal reset.

A clean run from +9 to +15 without a single failure needs 6 Chaos, 21 Bless, 21 Soul and 42,000,000 zen. It lands about 7% of the time without VIP and about 25% at Gold — the tier does not change the recipe, only how often you repeat it. Budget for failures either way.

Below +10 you raise an item with jewels, no Chaos Machine needed: Jewel of Bless takes it to +6, Jewel of Soul to +9. How often each one works, and what the other jewels do, is in Jewels.

Reducing the risk

• Talisman of Luck: +10% to the crafting chance, one per attempt.
• Talisman of Chaos Assembly: the item survives a failed upgrade, but drops back to +0.
• Luck option: +5% critical damage rate. It does not raise the upgrade chance — the tables above are the whole story, with Luck or without it.

Where VIP matters, the chance runs from no VIP to Gold; Luck on the item adds nothing to it. Chaos, Creation and Guardian have no chance of their own — they go into recipes, and the recipe decides.

Harmony comes in steps. Elpis in Kanturu 3 refines a Gemstone into a Jewel of Harmony every time. Dropped onto an item, the jewel adds a yellow option half the time. Refining Stones, dropped on the same way, then raise that option one level at a time, never above the item's own level: a Lower Refining Stone works 80% of the time, a Higher one 90%. Elpis makes the stones out of items — a plain item gives a Lower stone 50% of the time, an excellent item a Higher stone 80% of the time — and takes a yellow option off an item without fail.

The custom jewels never damage an item: a miss leaves it exactly as it was and costs only the jewel. None of them works on earrings or pets.

Jewel of Ancient 1 and 2 need an item that is not ancient yet. An item can belong to up to two ancient sets: Jewel 1 gives the first, Jewel 2 the second, and many items have only one of the two — then only the matching jewel works.

Besides the sources in the table, jewels come out of boxes, from the Golden Archer and in event rewards.

Fenrir is the hard one: 30% without VIP on a mix that costs 10,000,000 zen, and it is the only place on the server where a Gold membership changes the answer by half again. The two steps before it — Fragment of Horn and Broken Horn — are free and sit at 80% and 60% for everyone.

Recipes

Pick the matching entry in the goblin's combination list.

• Tier 1: a Chaos weapon at +4 or better carrying an additional option, plus Jewel of Chaos. 10,000 zen.
• Tier 2: tier 1 wings (or a Wing of Curse) + Loch's Feather + Jewel of Chaos + 5,000,000 zen. The mix also accepts spare items at +4 or better, and an optional Talisman of Wings of Dragon.
• Cape: the same mix with Monarch's Crest in place of Loch's Feather — the two are the same item at different levels, which is why they look alike in the inventory. Optional Talisman of Cape of Emperor.
• Tier 3, step one — Condor's Feather: tier 2 wings at +9 with an additional option, an ancient item at +7 with an additional option, Bundle of Soul, Jewel of Chaos, Jewel of Creation, 200,000 zen.
• Tier 3, step two: Condor's Feather + Condor's Flame + an excellent item at +9 with an additional option, Bundle of Bless, Bundle of Soul, Jewel of Chaos, Jewel of Creation, 200,000 zen.

The wing that comes out is picked from the wings your class can wear, so a mix can hand you a different pair than the one you were aiming at. For tier 1 you can decide it yourself: put a Talisman of Wings of Satan, Heaven, Elf or Curse into the mix and that pair is what comes out. The talismans are sold in the Ruud shop, 300 Ruud each.

What each tier contains

• Starter: Small Wings of Elf / Heaven / Satan, Small Cape of Lord, Little Warrior's Cloak.
• Tier 1: Wings of Elf, Wings of Heaven, Wings of Satan.
• Tier 2: Wings of Spirits, Wings of Soul, Wings of Dragon, Wings of Darkness; capes Cape of Fighter, Cape of Overrule, Wind of Despair.
• Tier 3: Wing of Storm, Wing of Eternal, Wing of Illusion, Wing of Ruin, Wing of Dimension, Wing of Curse, Cape of Emperor.

A set is 5 pieces, except Magic Gladiator, who wears no helmet, and Rage Fighter, who wears no gloves. Both use 4.

Options

• Excellent: up to six blue options on one item.
• Luck: +5% critical damage rate. It does not raise the upgrade chance.
• Skill: grants the item's built-in skill.
• Additional +4…+28: added with Jewel of Life.
• Harmony: the yellow option. A Jewel of Harmony adds it half the time, Refining Stones raise it (80% Lower, 90% Higher), and taking it off always works — see Jewels.
• Ancient: Jewel of Ancient 1 or 2, +5 to base stats. 52 ancient sets exist. Ancient pieces themselves drop in Chaos Castle, one per run on every stage, and in the field on three maps — Land of Trials (8 of every 10,000 items that drop), the VIP Arena (5 in 10,000) and Ignis Vulcanus, far rarer than either.

Tigris — the Rage Fighter set

A set built for this server and worn by Rage Fighters alone. Four pieces at level 111 — no gloves, because the class wears none — and a claw of its own.

Where it sits. Tigris is the Rage Fighter's best set: first place, ahead of Phoenix Soul in second and Piercing Groove in third. It is a socket set — every piece takes up to 3 Seed Spheres — and the easiest of the three to wear: 70 strength for the armour, against 97 and 115.

Tigris Claw

Level 147, 116–122 damage, attack speed 40, durability 255, and it asks 101 strength with 51 agility. That is one notch under the Phoenix Soul Star at 122–128, on the same speed and the same requirements — the last claw before the top one.

Where Tigris drops

From three bosses, and from nothing else — no ordinary monster carries it:

• Nightmare — Kanturu 3, every 6 hours;
• Selupan — LaCleon 2, every 6 hours;
• Medusa — Swamp of Calmness, four times a day. Hers are the good copies: they can roll an additional option, the other two drop clean.

Sockets

Up to 3 slots on socket armour and weapons — Dark Stinger alone takes 5 — each opened with a Jewel of Socket and filled with a Seed Sphere. Weapons take Fire, Ice and Lightning; armour takes Wind, Water and Earth. Combine a Seed with a Sphere to make a Seed Sphere, then mount it. Mounting never fails.

A dash means your VIP tier makes no difference to that mix. The SD potion chain is the odd one out: the middle step is harder than both ends at a flat 30%, and no tier of VIP improves it.

The 380 option

The 380 option is a second pair of bonuses, most of them for fights against other players, that the goblin adds to certain armour, weapons and shields (the recipe is in the table above). What the pair is depends on where the piece is worn, and the third-class sets, with the weapons and shields that go with them, carry a stronger version. Every piece you wear adds its own.

Earlier items: the Dragon Knight, Venom Mist, Sylphid Ray, Volcano, Sunlight, Storm Blitz and Phoenix Soul sets; Bone Blade, Explosion Blade, Phoenix Soul Star, Soleil Scepter, Sylph Wind Bow, Grand Viper Staff and Storm Blitz Stick.

Third-class items: the Titan, Brave, Phantom, Destroy, Seraphim, Divine, Royal, Hades, Queen and Tigris sets; Flameberge, Sword Breaker, Rune Bastard Sword, Tigris Claw, Absolute Scepter, Dark Stinger, Book of Lagle, Inberial Staff and Merlin Staff; the shields Crimson Glory, Salamander Shield, Frost Barrier, Guardian Shield and Cross Shield.

Magic Gladiator's Phantom and Destroy sets have no helm, so their boots carry the helm's SD recovery rate +22% in place of the defence success rate. The item tooltip lists the PvP lines as attack success rate, additional damage, defense success rate and defensive skill.

Every percentage is taken from your maximum — the one you see on the character sheet, bonuses included — so the same bottle heals more as your gear improves. It lands the moment you drink, and anything above your maximum is wasted.

• Potion shops — Apple, every Healing and Mana potion, Antidote and Ale.
• Monsters — SD and Complex potions drop in the field.
• Chaos Machine — a small SD potion from 3 Large Healing Potions, a medium one from 3 Small Complex Potions, a large one from 3 Complex Potions. See the Chaos Machine for the odds.
• Quests — Elite Healing and Elite Mana come from the Devias Coldfront chain, Elite SD from Aida Pressure.

Potions sit on Q, W and E. Hold one of those keys for two seconds and the slot drinks by itself when you need it — see Keys.

There is no conversion between currencies — each one is earned and spent on its own. In game windows Next Coin, WCoin (P) and Goblin Points are shortened to NC, WP and GP.

Where currency does not come from

Currency is paid only by content on a schedule: events, invasions and named bosses, plus the one-off payout for each grand reset and the story quests, which hand out 900–1,200 Goblin Points over their 910 steps. Anything you can farm without limit pays experience and items but no Ruud and no Goblin Points. That is deliberate: it is what stops a high-rate server's economy from collapsing in the first week. Next Coin is not farmable at all — it is bought on the site, and only the grand reset pays a premium currency, WCoin (P).

The formula is monster level × zen value, where the zen value is 330 without VIP and rises to 450 at Gold. Zen does not drop from every kill either: the chance is 45% without VIP and climbs to 75% at Gold. A second rule matters more in practice — a monster far below your own level pays no zen at all, because the pile is derived from the experience it grants. A level 400 character gets nothing from Lorencia spiders and only pocket change from anything under roughly level 40.

What lands in your bag can be less than the pile on the ground. Two things take their share the moment you pick zen up:

• Your party — the zen is shared between the members.
• Your guild's loot tax — the guild master sets it from 0% to 50%, and that share goes straight into the guild treasury. The master pays it too. At 49%, a pile of 100,000 zen puts 51,000 in your bag.

If your zen suddenly looks halved and you are not in a party, check your guild's tax first.

How a drop is decided

Two independent rolls. First, whether the monster drops anything at all, which is 35% without VIP, rising to 60% at Gold. Tougher monsters drop less often than weak ones. Then, what it drops, at the same odds for everyone.

A monster only drops gear from its own level band: pieces whose own level sits between four below the monster and two above it. That is why a field of level 40 monsters never hands out level 80 armour, no matter how long you farm it.

The five common jewels drop across the whole world, from any monster that clears the level shown. LaCleon is the exception: every monster there carries a second, separate chance on top, so jewels fall about twice as often as anywhere else. Jewel of Guardian is the odd one out and never drops outside Kalima 5 and 6.

What the three boxes hold

One item per box, drawn from two pools:

• Gear — 80%. A weapon, a shield or a piece of armour, always upgraded and always carrying Skill and Luck. Heart of Love and Silver Medal roll +6 to +9, each step equally likely; Gold Medal starts one step higher, at +7 to +9. Heart of Love draws from 55 items, the two medals from 59 each.
• A jewel — 20%. Chaos, Bless, Soul, Life or Creation.

No excellent options. These boxes are a source of clean, well-upgraded gear you can build on — not a shortcut to excellent items. For those, see the excellent sources below.

Every piece carries an additional option. All three boxes hand out gear with +4 on it — the first step of the additional option, on top of the Skill and Luck they already carry.

Red Chocolate Box

Dropped by Skeleton King and White Wizard during their invasions. Opens into a single item:

• an excellent ring — Ice, Poison, Fire, Earth, Wind or Magic — with a level 2 additional option;
• or one of eight jewels: Bless, Soul, Life, Chaos, Creation, Guardian, Harmony, Gemstone.

Class Zen Set boxes

Seven boxes, one per class, sold in the in-game shop under Equipment — 300 Next Coin on the Next Coin tab, 4,500 Goblin Points on the Goblin Points tab. A box opens into a whole set for its class — every piece +9, with Luck and the excellent option Increase Zen After Hunt. It is a farming set: it pays for itself in the zen it earns while you wear it.

• Dark Wizard — Pad, five pieces.
• Dark Knight and Dark Lord — Leather, five pieces.
• Fairy Elf — Silk, five pieces.
• Summoner — Violent Wind, five pieces.
• Magic Gladiator — Leather, four pieces: the class wears no helm.
• Rage Fighter — Leather, four pieces: the class wears no gloves.

Every box also holds the small wings its class can wear — Small Wings of Heaven for the Dark Wizard, Small Wings of Satan for the Dark Knight and the Magic Gladiator, Small Wings of Elf for the Fairy Elf, Small Wing of Curse for the Summoner, Small Cape of Lord for the Dark Lord and the Little Warrior's Cloak for the Rage Fighter. All of them are worth the same: +12% damage and −12% damage taken. They come plain — no upgrade, no Luck, no excellent option — and are there to get you off the ground while you save for real wings.

Everything in a box is guaranteed: there is no roll and no bad open.

Right-click the box in your inventory and the whole set goes to your Gremory Case — open it with U and claim the pieces. You no longer have to drop the box on the ground, and it works inside town. Dropping it on the ground still works and gives the same set.

Cherry Blossom Spirit

The spirit stands by the sakura tree in Noria and trades in branches. Branches do not drop from monsters: they come out of the Cherry Blossom Box, which any monster of level 35 or above can drop, anywhere, at 0.25% per kill.

Open the box on the ground and it rolls four times, each roll one of six things with equal odds — wine, rice cake, a petal, or a white, red or gold branch. Repeats are normal.

The spirit takes one full stack at a time, and the stack sizes are built for it: white holds 50, red holds 125, gold holds 255. One stack buys one item, drawn evenly from the list for that colour.

Gold is the long game: 255 branches is five full boxes' worth of lucky rolls, and it is the only place a Divine weapon comes from.

Options rolled on a drop

• Item level: +0 is 70%, +1 is 15%, +2 is 10%, +3 is 5%.
• Skill: 6%. Luck: 4%.
• Additional option: +4 at 1.5%, +8 at 1%, +12 at 0.5%.
• Excellent is rare in the field: about three dropped items in ten thousand, from monsters of level 25 and up, and it always lands at +0. The piece itself comes from the tier 25 levels below the monster, so a high-level field pays excellent gear of the middle tiers. Which blue option you get is an even draw — no option is rarer than another, anywhere in the game. Everything else excellent comes from boss bags and boxes.

Item market

List an item and walk away — the market holds it and pays you when it sells. Commission is a flat 10% on every item type and in every currency; there is no cheaper bracket to aim for. Nothing is blocked from sale.

Personal shop

The classic shop over your character's head, priced with /store <type>: bless, soul, chaos, or wcc for Next Coin, wcp for WCoin (P), wcg for Goblin Points. /offstore keeps it trading after you log out, which is the difference that matters — a personal shop earns overnight the same as the market, and you keep the whole price.

The pass opens from the game menu. It has its own level, its own experience, and its own tasks — none of it is tied to your character's level or resets. The current season started on 23 September and runs 30 days, to 22 October, followed by 3 days of grace (23–25 October) in which nothing is earned any more but everything already earned can still be collected. The next season begins on 26 October.

When a season ends, pass level and pass experience go back to zero, anything left unclaimed is gone, and Premium does not carry over — it is bought per season.

Levels and experience

Fifty levels, 87,500 pass experience for the whole run. The step grows as you climb:

Pass experience comes from four places: missions, which appear and tick over by themselves; challenges, which you accept by hand; weekly milestones for the number of missions you finish in a week; and one story quest chain in the ordinary quest window, worth up to 3,400 pass experience across its seven steps. There is no daily cap on how much you can earn.

The two tracks

Free Pass is open to everyone from the first level — no purchase, no unlock. Premium Pass costs 300 Next Coin and is bought from the button in the pass window. Buying it later is not a loss: Premium rewards on levels you have already passed unlock the moment you buy.

A pass level can also be bought outright for 20 Next Coin, but no more than two levels a day — buying the whole season out in one sitting is not possible, and the same daily limit covers the level ticket from the shop. A bought level raises the level itself, so the free track opens with it; the Premium rewards on that level still need Premium.

What the tracks pay

Most levels pay jewels — Bless, Soul, Chaos, Life, Creation, Harmony, Guardian, Talismans — in stacks that grow as you climb. Premium pays roughly double on those levels and keeps almost all the rare things for itself: the custom jewels that rewrite an item (Level, Excellent, Luck, Socket, Additional, Ancient) sit on the Premium track from level 35 up, and the free track gets only a Jewel of Luck at 30 and two Jewels of Excellent at 40. A handful of levels break the pattern:

Six levels pay a buff instead of an item, and the buff holds until the season ends:

Missions

Twenty-four in all, and none of them has to be accepted — they appear, they count, they pay. Daily ones reset at midnight server time, weekly ones on Monday.

• Daily. Four that are there every day: log in (50 pass experience), enter Blood Castle once (150), kill 7,500 monsters anywhere (100) — and, on top, finishing all of the day's dailies pays a further 300 pass experience and 3 million zen. Every one of them also pays zen.
• Daily rotation. Fifteen more daily missions — the "clear this place" ones for Lorencia, Dungeon, Devias, Noria, Lost Tower, Atlans, Tarkan and Aida, plus event entries, a Chaos Machine run, an invasion boss and spending zen — of which three are live on any given day, the same three for everyone, worth 100–180 pass experience and 0.1–2 million zen each.
• Weekly. 100,000 kills, or logging in on seven separate days: 400–500 pass experience and 1–1.5 million zen.
• Monthly. 500,000 kills or 28 days of logging in: 1,200–1,500 pass experience and 5–8 million zen.
• Seasonal. One mission for the whole season — 150,000 kills for 3,000 pass experience and 10 million zen.

Challenges

Eight exist, three are offered to you at a time, and you may hold three at once. Unlike missions, a challenge has to be accepted, some ask for an entry fee, and every one of them has a deadline. Miss it and the progress freezes: you discard the challenge to free the slot, and the fee is not returned.

Weekly milestones

A bar above the mission list counts how many missions you finish in the week. Unclaimed milestones burn on Monday with everything else.

Season ranking

The ranking tab sorts by pass level first, then by pass experience, and settles a remaining tie by name. Bought levels count the same as earned ones, so the top of the board is open to anyone willing to pay for it.

The board pays nothing for the placing itself — it is there to be climbed, and everything the pass gives comes from its own levels.

The shop is split by what you pay with, not by what you get — the same kind of item can appear under more than one tab at a different price. What each currency is and where it comes from is in Currencies.

• Next Coin — the widest tab: Special, Equipment (including the class Zen Set boxes), Pet, Ticket, Ring and Pendant, Buff and Skin.
• W Coin (P) — Special, Seed Sphere, Boxes and Custom Jewels. This is where the grand-reset payout goes.
• Goblin Points — Equipment, Skills, Pet, Ticket, Buff and Jewels, paid for with what events hand out.

Timed goods come in five lengths — 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days — and the price does not rise as fast as the time: thirty days costs about twenty-one times the single day, so the long option is always the cheaper one per day. Seals and buffs are sold this way; pets, rings, jewels and skins are permanent.

Event tickets hand over ten entries at a time, not one. Skins are cosmetic only — they change how a character looks and carry no stats.

Inventory space is bought from the inventory window itself, not from a tab: 125 Next Coin per expansion, up to four on a character. The Magic Backpack tile in the shop does the same thing for the same price.

The shop list is read when the launcher starts. If a tile you were told about is missing, close the client fully and start it again rather than relogging.

Open the quest window with T or /quest; the Quest Master in the middle of Lorencia (130,130) opens the same window. Inside a chapter each quest opens when the one before it is done. When a task is complete, collect the reward in the window, and keep a few free slots in your bag for the items.

Most steps are hunts: a number of monsters, of one kind or of any kind. The rest ask you to bring items, to hand over zen (from 100,000 to 20 million) or Goblin Points (from 1 to 30), and a few send you into Blood Castle, Devil Square, Chaos Castle or Illusion Temple.

Quests pay zen, items and Goblin Points, never stat points, Next Coin, WCoin or Ruud. The ten chapters together come to about 260–280 million zen and 900–1,200 Goblin Points.

Changing your class at Sebina, Marlon and Apostle Devin is a separate chain, described under Classes. Missions and challenges are in the Battle Pass window, not here: see Battle Pass.

Season 1 — Echoes of Lorencia is taken automatically when you log in and starts over with every Battle Pass season. Its seven steps, from level 10 to 80: hunt 40 and then 80 monsters, enter Blood Castle, Devil Square and Chaos Castle once each, log in on 3 different days, and finish with 500 monsters. Together they pay 3,400 Battle Pass experience, 4.8 million zen and three keepsakes: Echo Fragment, Sealed Memory and Lorencia Relic.

Every event stage is picked by your level. Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord and Rage Fighter move up to the next stage of Blood Castle, Devil Square and Chaos Castle earlier — their ranges are in the MG · DL · RF columns. Illusion Temple uses the same levels for every class. Chaos Castle has six stages.

The last stage of Blood Castle, Devil Square, Kalima and Illusion Temple — Blood Castle 8, Devil Square 7, Lost Kalima and Illusion Temple 6 — is for 3rd class characters: once you have your third class you always go there, at any level.

Kalima runs on its own ladder: Kalima 1 from level 40, then 131, 181, 231, 281 and 331 for stages 2 through 6 (Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord and Rage Fighter 20 levels earlier), with Lost Kalima for 3rd class characters.

How you get in. Chaos Castle takes an Armor of Guardsman, sold by the general goods merchants in every town. For Blood Castle, Devil Square, Illusion Temple and Kalima the in-game shop sells a ticket of its own — ten entries per purchase. The classic entry items work as well: the town merchants sell the parts for Invisibility Cloaks and Devil's Invitations up to +3 and ready Lost Maps +1 and +2; the top Blood Castle, Devil Square and Illusion Temple take a cloak +8, an invitation +7 or a Scroll of Blood +6 crafted from parts that drop; Kalima also opens with a Lost Map made of Symbols of Kundun — recipes, shops and drops are in the Event guides.

How many runs a day each event allows is in the quota table above, and characters flagged PK cannot enter Blood Castle, Chaos Castle or Devil Square.

Invasions run on their own clock, nine of them, and they need no ticket at all — the timetable, the spawn counts and every drop are in Invasions.

How an invasion works

• Nothing to enter, nothing to spend. The monsters spawn on ordinary maps, most of them in the starter towns. There is no instance, no invitation and no daily quota — if you are on the map when it starts, you are in it.
• They land across the whole map, not in one fixed corner, so they turn up wherever you happen to be standing.
• A server-wide message opens every run, and when a boss falls a second message names the player who finished it.
• The monsters stay for 100 minutes, or until somebody kills them.
• The reward drops on the ground where the monster died. Bosses pay Ruud on top — those numbers are in Bosses.

The golden invasion

The widest of the nine: 72 golden monsters at once, spread over twelve maps, each one carrying a Box of Kundun — all but the Great Golden Dragon, which carries jewels instead. The tier of the box follows the monster, so the map you pick decides what you can win.

Box of Kundun

A box opens into one excellent item, and the roll is generous in options and blank on level:

• always Skill and Luck;
• one or two excellent options, an even chance of each, and every option in the list is as likely as the rest;
• an additional option — none, +4 or +8, each equally likely;
• item level +0. The box hands you the options; the upgrading is yours to do.

What the tier changes is the pool. +1 draws from 47 early items, +2 from 55, +3 from 59, +4 from 61, and +5 from 47 top-tier ones: Great Dragon, Dark Soul, Hurricane, Red Spirit, Dark Master and Piercing gear, the Divine Archangel line, Knight Blade, Staff of Kundun, Arrow Viper Bow.

Custom jewels

What the jewels from the Red Dragon and the Great Golden Dragon do, how often they work and where else they come from is in Jewels.

Rena and the Golden Archer

Rena drops from Death Bone during the Skeleton King invasion — about one kill in three. It is not a jewel and it is never used on an item: it is handed to the Golden Archer, the archer standing in Devias (226, 66).

The invasion runs four times a day — at 02:50, 08:50, 14:50 and 20:50 server time — and stays for 100 minutes. It fills Lorencia and Noria with ten Death Bones each, alongside two Death Kings. A Death Bone rolls five times: each roll is either a Rena or a million zen, so a kill hands over up to five Rena and pays about 4.6 million zen on average even when none of them lands.

One click hands over every Rena you are carrying — you no longer register them one at a time. The archer's window then shows how many you have banked, and each reward tier costs a fixed number of them.

Every exchange pays out — there is no empty roll. Each tier hands over one box, and the tier decides which:

The jewels the archer used to hand out are gone: the exchange now pays in boxes, so what you get out of it is decided when you open the box rather than at the archer.

Every stage pays the same: 35 Goblin Points. Blood Castle, Chaos Castle, Devil Square and Illusion Temple pay no Next Coin and no Ruud, and the number does not grow with the stage. What the higher stage gives you is the experience and the drop, not a bigger payout.

Goblin Points are spent at the Goblin shop. The other place they come from is the grand reset, which pays 5,000 at once — see Grand resets.

Gremory Case

Your reward inbox, in the main menu on U. Prizes from events and boxes land here rather than in your bags, and they wait while you are offline.

• Quest rewards — what the quest window pays.
• Event prizes — Blood Castle, Chaos Castle, Illusion Temple, Imperial Guardian and the Double Goer chests always deliver their items here, never straight into your bag.
• Box contents — the class Zen Set boxes deliver their whole set here.
• Donation rewards, and anything the team sends you.

Two shelves — character and account — 50 slots each. Every reward carries a countdown: 30 days to claim it, then it is gone. Claiming needs a free space in your inventory.

What the bosses drop

Each of them carries its own list, and it lands on the ground where the boss dies. The invasion bosses — Skeleton King, Red Dragon, White Wizard, the golden monsters — are in Invasions.

Jewels counted are Bless, Soul, Life, Creation and Chaos, and the guild master pays them out of his own bags; the zen comes from the treasury. Ranking all the way to 5 costs 90 billion zen and 1,500 of each jewel. The rank buff applies to every member at once — experience, zen, physical and magical damage all by the same percentage, plus flat defence.

Founding a guild needs level 250 and a clean record: a character with a kill count above 3 can neither found a guild nor join one. Creating costs nothing.

The treasury

Three things fill it: member deposits from 10,000 zen upwards, the guild tax — the master can take up to 50% of what members earn from monsters, from sales and from rewards, and it starts at 0% until he sets it — and two of the weekly missions, which pay straight in.

The tax on monsters is taken at the moment a member picks up zen, the master included: with it at 49%, 100,000 zen on the ground gives the member 51,000 and the treasury 49,000. A tax set high and forgotten looks to members exactly like a halved drop.

The treasury holds at most 20 billion zen, and so does each guild warehouse. That is a hard limit of the game itself, not a setting: it is also why ranks 2 to 5 each cost exactly 20 billion — you fill the treasury to the brim, spend it, and start again.

The Oracle

Available from rank 0, paid from the treasury: 10 billion zen for 60 minutes on the whole guild. Three to choose from:

• Farm — +10% experience, +5% drop, +5% zen.
• Attack — +5% damage, +5% critical chance, +5% excellent chance.
• Defence — −5% damage taken, +5% defence, +5% block chance.

Weekly missions

One shared kill counter for the whole guild, reset every Monday. All four targets count off the same counter and pay automatically.

• 15,000 kills — 25 million zen into the treasury.
• 25,000 kills — the Attack oracle free, for seven days.
• 35,000 kills — 100 million zen into the treasury.
• 50,000 kills — the Attack oracle free again, for seven days.

The Shrine

Fourteen permanent guild-wide buffs, three levels each, upgraded by the master from rank 1. Every level costs the same regardless of which buff it is: 20 / 40 / 80 million zen and 10 / 20 / 30 Jewel of Bless.

Levels 1 / 2 / 3 give: physical and magical damage +3/+6/+10%, attack speed +5/+10/+15, defence +50/+100/+150, zen +3/+6/+10%, experience +3/+6/+10%, maximum HP +500/+1,000/+1,500, resistance to critical and to excellent damage +1/+3/+6%, minimum and maximum damage +20/+40/+60, and shield defence +3/+5/+7%.

The Guild Garden

A map of your own — every guild gets its private copy, and no one else walks into it. Type /garden to enter; any member may, at any rank. What you build there is paid from the treasury and stays:

• Training dummies — one from rank 0, two more from rank 1: 5 billion zen and 3,000 Goblin Points each.
• Guardsman — your personal warehouse in the garden: 5 billion and 3,000.
• Potion shop: 7 billion and 3,000.
• Chaos Goblin, from rank 1: 7 billion and 3,000.

Building all of it comes to 34 billion zen and 18,000 Goblin Points.

Warehouses and rights

Five guild warehouses, opened strictly in order, each paid by whoever opens it: 500 million zen for the first; 2 billion and 40 jewels for the second, from rank 1; 5 billion, 100 Next Coin and 80 jewels for the third, from rank 2; 10 billion, 300 Next Coin and 150 jewels for the fourth, from rank 3; and the fifth from rank 4. There is no tax on taking zen back out.

By default an ordinary member may look and deposit but not withdraw. A Battle Master may also withdraw, up to 50 items a day. An Office Master has full rights, including opening new warehouses. The guild master can hand any of this to any member individually.

Emblem, friendly fire and war

Every guild has the classic small emblem, and the master can additionally upload a 64×64 HD logo — drawn in game or uploaded as an image up to about 12 KB, no more than once a minute.

Members of one guild — or of one alliance — cannot hurt each other: not on the open maps, not in the garden, not in a siege and not in most events. The exceptions are the places built for fighting: duels, Battle Soccer, Chaos Castle, Illusion Temple, TvT and the duel arena.

/war and /soccer are free to use at any time. An alliance holds up to three guilds. The separate GvG tournament event is currently switched off.

The castle is the one thing on the server owned by a guild rather than a player, and the only way to take it is to storm it on the hour it is open. The week around that hour runs on a fixed timetable: guilds sign up, hand in Signs of the Lord to earn their place, the owner repairs the walls, and on Sunday the gates come down or they don't. All times here are server time.

The server's first siege is on Sunday, 4 October, at 17:00. Registration for it opens on Monday, 28 September.

Signing up

Registration is done by the guild master of the alliance's leading guild, at one of the two Guardsman NPCs on the castle map (86, 61 and 99, 61). A guild inside an alliance signs up through its alliance head — the members' own guilds do not register separately.

The guild needs to be at least rank 1. Rank 0 cannot register at all, and the answer at the Guardsman says so. The Guardsman also stops working for the hour the siege runs.

Sign of the Lord

The Sign of the Lord drops from ordinary monsters between level 25 and 150, anywhere in the world, at 0.5%. There is no other source — it is not sold, not brewed, not handed out by an event. Collect them all week, hand them in during the handover window, and the count decides your guild's place in the attacking order, not whether you are let in.

The hour itself

The castle has six gates at 500,000 health and four Guardian Statues at 400,000, plus nine cannon towers, a shield and catapults on both sides — the attackers' catapults hit for 300, the defenders' for 200. Gates and statues carry their damage between weeks; the owner repairs and strengthens them from the castle treasury during the preparation window.

The throne room only opens to attackers once all four Guardian Statues are down, and only while the siege is running. Inside are the crown and its two switches, and only a guild master can take the crown. Whoever holds it when the hour ends owns the castle for the next week; if nobody does, the defenders keep it.

Taking it is a job for three: two guild members hold the two switches, standing right next to them, while the master holds the throne for 60 seconds straight — a single step aside, a death or a teleport resets the count.

Three rules apply on the castle map during the siege: only the attacking side may summon a Life Stone, only the defending side may summon soldiers, and duels are off. Damage between players drops to 70% for the hour, and the class matchup table does not apply — a siege is decided by numbers and objectives, not by who counters whom.

What the castle pays

The owning guild master sets three taxes from the castle window — on the Chaos Machine, on shops and on hunting inside the castle grounds. Everything collected goes into the castle treasury, which holds up to 20 billion zen and pays for the repairs. The castle map itself pays 110% experience and set items can drop there, though item drops run at 40% of the usual chance.

The map has no travel command and no minimap: you walk in through the gates, from Lorencia (239, 14), from Crywolf (239, 40) or from Land of Trials (59, 7).

Brewing at Senior

Senior stands in the throne room and works only for the guild master of the owning guild, outside the siege hour. He takes 3 bundles of Jewel of Bless, 3 bundles of Jewel of Soul, 30 Jewel of Guardian and 1,000,000,000 zen — bundles are made with /pack — and hands back one accessory, picked at random from seven: the rings of Ice, Poison, Fire, Earth and Wind, and the pendants of Lighting and Fire.

Whatever comes out is +10, with a 6th-step option and three excellent options — the kind of accessory that does not drop anywhere else. The castle may brew six times a day, and the counter rolls over at 00:00 server time.

Available to everyone with no level or reset requirement. Duration runs from 8 hours without VIP to 24 hours at Gold.

Offline experience is the same as playing — there is no separate offline rate, your character earns whatever the monster, your reset tier and the map would give you anyway. The difference that matters is item pickup: without VIP your character fights and levels but leaves everything it drops on the ground. Any tier from Bronze up picks the drops up.

Telling the helper what to pick up. Open the helper panel, tab Obtaining, and do this once:

1. Tick Pick Selected Items, then tick Add Extra Item.
2. Type an item name in the box and press Add — it appears in the list below.
3. Repeat for every item you want, then press Save Setting.

Shortcut destinations: /pvp1 to /pvp3 for the Devias duelling grounds and /pvp4 for Tarkan, all from level 50, plus /arena1–/arena5.

Arena is the VIP farming map. It is no longer duelling ground alone — it now carries a full spread of monsters from level 68 to 148 — Silver Valkyrie and Lizard King at the low end, Dark Giant, Dark Coolutin and Dark Iron Knight at the top — 51 kinds in all, laid out across 57 spots and 456 monsters. The layout was reworked on 21 September: fifteen spots gave way to twenty new ones, and the map gained the Bloody line (Orc, Death Rider, Golem, Witch Queen), the Blood Assassins, Orcus, Coolutin, Giant Mammoth and Iron Knight, while Death Tree, Forest Orc, Death Rider and Blue Golem fill the low end of the western column. The warp is open to VIP accounts only, from level 100, for 200,000 zen.

Spots hold 8 monsters, the same as on every other map — the two extra ones Arena carried since 1 September were taken back on 21 September. What stays with the map is its own: no PvP at all, and ancient gear among the drops. Further perks tied to the map are coming and will be announced separately.

Land of Trials was rebuilt on 17 September and is now a proper hunting map: 40 spots of 8 monsters — 320 in all — with a 5-second respawn and a level ladder that climbs as you walk in from the entrance: Ax Warrior at 75, Lizard Warrior at 78, Poison Golem at 84, Queen Bee at 92 and Fire Golem at 102. The wandering singles that used to scatter across it are gone, so the map reads as a line of spots rather than a field. A warehouse keeper stands at 54, 17, the boss Erohim still holds the far corner at 220, 211 — and the map pays 120% experience, the only one on the server that pays above par.

Vulcanus is open from level 300 but only to members of a Gens faction, which you may join from level 50.

The launcher holds your account list, brings the game files up to date and carries the video and game settings, so the first thing you touch is never a text file. It hands over to the game with your account already filled in — you press Login.

Accounts are made on the main site. The client remembers the account you last used and fills the login screen in for you; passwords are capped at 10 characters.

If the connection drops the client reconnects on its own and walks itself back through login and the character list. That list shows level, resets and grand resets for every character, so you can read your account without entering the world.

None of these is fixed. Options → HotKeys lists every action, takes a new key on a click, tells you when that key is already spoken for, and can put the whole set back to default. The same tab carries what has no key out of the box: five potion slots, a pick up nearby item key, and the free camera — swing it around your character and snap it back, both on keys.

Potions have a second trick. Hold Q, W or E for two seconds and that slot starts drinking itself when you need it; hold again to stop.

The jewel bank and bundles

The bank on J keeps your jewels out of the inventory and hands them back loose: Withdraw 10 gives ten separate jewels, not a bundle. Plenty of things ask for a bundle instead — wing mixes, castle siege, quests and trades.

Make one yourself. Take the jewels out of the bank, then type the command with the jewel and the bundle size: /pack bless 30 turns thirty loose Jewels of Bless into one Bundle of Bless, and /unpack bless 30 takes it apart again.

Bundles come in 10, 20 and 30. The jewel is named in the command: bless, soul, life, creation, guardian, gem, harmony, chaos, lowstone, highstone. The jewels have to be in your inventory and you need a free slot for the bundle. Both commands are free and open to everyone.

The icon grid on U is where the systems that are not part of classic MU live.

The client is unusually talkative, and most of it can be switched off in the options if it is not for you:

• Numbers on the bars. Your health and shield, and every monster's health, are shown as values and not just a length of red. Monsters carry their level beside the bar.
• Damage in colour. Each kind of hit — normal, critical, excellent, reflected, taken — has its own colour and size, so a fight reads at a glance. On the big bosses a board totals the damage dealt to them.
• An honest experience bar. Hover it and it lists the bonuses actually in play. Under it runs a live hunting log: time hunted, damage per minute, experience per minute, zen per minute, levels gained.
• A clock. Your local time and server time side by side in the corner — the second one is what the event schedule runs on.
• Discord shows what you are doing. While the game runs, your Discord profile says MU NEXT and the map you are on, with a button that takes a friend straight to the site. It can be turned off in MuClock.user.ini next to the game.
• Frame rate and ping on screen, so a bad evening is diagnosable.
• Buffs with timers instead of a row of icons you have to guess at.
• Drops you can read before you walk to them. Items on the ground are labelled, framed and lit by rarity; hold Shift over one to read its full tooltip from where you stand.
• Gear score and item rank on the item itself, guild logos over players, quest marks over the NPCs that have something for you.

Chat is tabbed — general, party, guild, gens, trade and events — and the log window resizes, goes transparent, locks in place or hides entirely. Invasions announce themselves in the event tab.

The Windows title bar of each client carries that character's name, level, master level, zen and every currency. With several windows open it is the fastest way to find the one you want.

The helper panel (Z) is where hunting is set up: which skill, which buffs, what to pick up, when to drink. While the panel is open the client draws your hunting and pickup ranges on the ground, so you set them by eye instead of by number.

Counter attack lives in the same panel: the helper locks onto the first player who attacks you, with a range limit, a cooldown, and a switch to walk back to your spot once the threat expires ten seconds later. Auto Offline is one button further along — the rest of that story is in offline farming.

The party bar docks to the edge of the screen and shows each member's class icon, health and shield, with a crown on the leader. Click a member for the actions: follow, whisper, hand over leadership, allow or forbid attacking, remove.

Your own state is announced to the party: Active, which becomes AFK after five minutes without moving, Be Right Back, Do Not Disturb, and Invisible if you would rather not say. Party buffs show as icons on the bar.

From the same list you can jump straight to a party member, wherever they are standing. It costs 150 Next Coin per jump and needs level 200. It works on the ordinary hunting maps; event maps are always refused.

The client carries its own voice chat — no second program, nothing to install. Options → Voice: switch it on, pick your microphone and output device, choose push-to-talk with its key or an open mic with a sensitivity threshold, and set input and output volume separately. Noise suppression, echo cancellation and automatic gain are all there, with a mic test to hear yourself before anyone else does.

Auto connect to party drops you into your party's channel the moment the party forms.

A friend can play your character without ever learning your password. In the menu you open a guest session: the client generates a one-time password, you choose how long it lives — from 1 to 24 hours, three by default — and you tick what the guest may do. They log in on the normal login screen with your account name and that generated password.

Every permission is its own switch: writing in chat, trading, buying and selling in shops, using craft NPCs, the warehouse, dropping items, picking items up, the personal store, the Next Coin Shop. You can keep up to 10 sessions alive at once and end any of them early. Two things are never available to a guest, whatever you tick: deleting characters and the /lock commands.

Four presets — Low, Medium, High, Ultra — and under them every knob on its own: texture quality and filtering, anisotropy, shadows, water, effects, vegetation, character detail, anti-aliasing up to 8x MSAA plus FXAA, depth of field, fog, glow, terrain light, and gamma, exposure, contrast and saturation. A preset you tune yourself can be saved and loaded back.

Resolutions run from 800x600 to 3840x2160, with a borderless window, an adjustable font size and a separate interface scale for wide screens. The frame limit is 60, 120, 240 or uncapped, with V-Sync on its own switch. A machine that cannot run the modern pipeline can switch render mode and restart into a compatibility one.

The world has weather and a day-night cycle, both driven by the server, so rain in Lorencia is rain for everyone. The camera pulls considerably further out than the classic client does, remembers the distance you left it at, and can be freed entirely and swung around your character for a screenshot. Screenshots land as JPG files in the client's ScreenShots folder.

Zoom is Alt + mouse wheel, and since 17 September it works on the four maps that used to have the camera nailed down: Castle Siege, Vulcanus and Double Goer 1 and 2. A siege is the place you most want to see the whole screen, and now you can.

Can I buy my way to the top?

Not to the finished article. The shop sells speed, chance and convenience: drop rate, crafting odds, offline hours, cosmetics, and a Ruud-priced set that deliberately carries a single excellent option and no sockets. The best gear on the server still has to be built at the Chaos Machine. VIP does add experience, but only +10 to +20% — enough to feel, not enough to skip the climb.

When does the server launch?

The server opens on 25 September. Register on the main site; news and updates go out in Discord.

How many clients can I run?

3 from one machine.

What language is the client?

English.

Where is the reset window?

There is not one. Resets are typed: /reset for a single reset, /reset auto to have the server do it for you every time you reach 400. The grand reset keeps its window in the main menu.

Do I keep my stats through a reset?

No. Stats are cleared on every reset and re-spent from the points you are given.

Where do these numbers come from?

The server's own configuration files, read on the date in the footer. Everything on this page is what the server is running right now — nothing here is a plan or a promise.
