Stats and builds

Spending points

• Stat points come from leveling up and from some quests. They are spent in the character window with the + buttons.
• Many items need a minimum Strength or Agility to wear. Check the item before spending points.

The stats at a glance

Points per level

• The second and third classes keep the same start stats and points as their first class.
• Magic Gladiator and Dark Lord gain 7 points per level. The other classes gain 5.
• The Gain Hero Status quest adds 1 point per level from level 220. Points from other quests are not listed here.

Derived numbers

These are the classic MU formulas. "Level" is the character level. The character window shows your own numbers.

Max HP and Max mana

• Vitality gives the most HP on a Dark Knight, at 3 HP per point.
• Energy gives the most mana on a Dark Wizard and a Magic Gladiator, at 2 mana per point.
• Dark Lord mana counts Energy above 15 only.

Max AG

AG is the ability gauge. Skills that cost AG draw from it.

• Each number is AG per point of that stat.
• A Dark Knight gets most of its AG from Energy.

Damage

Classic MU sets damage from the stats as follows.

• The Dark Wizard and its later classes cast spells, and their damage comes from Energy.
• The Magic Gladiator uses both. Spells follow Energy. Blade attacks follow Strength and Energy.
• Fairy Elf damage comes from the bow. Agility counts for most of it.
• Dark Lord Command also adds damage. More Command makes the Dark Raven hit harder. With a scepter equipped, the Dark Lord's own hits gain 1 damage per 1 point of Command.

Attack speed and defense

• In PvP, defense rate also gains 2 per character level, for every class.

Attack Rate

• Attack Rate is the chance to hit. It rises with Level and Agility.

Command (Dark Lord only)

• Command strengthens the Dark Lord's pets and guild.
• Each point gives Max AG 0.3 and Attack Rate 0.1.
• The Dark Raven hits harder and faster with more Command, and harder still as it gains levels.
• Fenrir hits harder with more Command.
• Guild size: Level / 10 for every class. A Dark Lord adds Command / 10.
• Some Dark Lord scrolls require a minimum Command. See the Dark Lord table below.

Fruits

Fruits add points to one stat. The kinds are Energy, Stamina (Vitality), Agility, Strength and Command.

• Fruits are made at the Chaos Goblin. The mix needs one Jewel of Creation and one Jewel of Chaos, and 3,000,000 Zen. The success rate is 90%.
• Using a fruit requires level 10.
• Nothing can be worn when a fruit is used.
• Only a Dark Lord can use a Command fruit.
• A fruit adds 1 to 3 points to its stat. The points are returned by a stat reset.
• The chance to gain points drops as the stat's fruit points grow.

Stat reset

• Stat Reset is a Moo Gold shop item. It returns your stats to the class starting values and gives all points back to spend again.
• Nothing can be worn when it is used.
• Each character can use it once every 3 days.
• It costs 500 Moo Gold.
• Reset Fruit items are not sold.

Skills by class

Skills come from three sources:

• Scrolls and orbs teach a skill when used. Each requires a character level and some stats.
• Weapons and shields give a skill while worn. The item has its own Strength or Agility requirement.
• Quests and pets give a few skills.

Dark Wizard, Soul Master and Grand Master

• Energy Ball is on the Dark Wizard, Soul Master, Grand Master, Magic Gladiator and Duel Master skill lists. No item teaches it.
• Nova needs 1052 Energy, the highest requirement of any Dark Wizard spell.

Dark Knight, Blade Knight and Blade Master

Weapon and shield skills:

• Dark Knight skills are all melee.

Fairy Elf, Muse Elf and High Elf

• The Elf summons (Goblin, Stone Golem, Assassin, Elite Yeti, Dark Knight, Bali, Soldier) are on the Elf skill list. Only Summon Goblin is taught by an orb.
• The Orb of Ice Arrow requires 646 Agility.

Magic Gladiator and Duel Master

Magic Gladiator uses the Dark Wizard spells from Fire Ball to Inferno, except Teleport and Soul Barrier. It also uses these:

• Power Slash comes from the blade. The Energy needed depends on the blade: Explosion Blade 7, Dark Reign Blade 9, Rune Bastard Sword 17.

Dark Lord and Lord Emperor

• Dark Horse is a pet. It requires character level 218.

Build notes

• Dark Knight: Vitality gives 3 HP per point, the most of any class. Energy gives 1.0 AG per point, so a few Energy points keep skills running.
• Fairy Elf: Agility counts double in bow damage, (2 x Agi + Str) / 8 at most. Most Elf gear needs Agility, so Agility comes first.
• Dark Wizard: damage is Energy / 4 at most, and each Energy point also gives 2 mana.
• Magic Gladiator: gets 7 points per level. Strength and Energy both raise blade damage, (2 x Str + Ene) / 8 at most.
• Dark Lord: gets 7 points per level. Command starts at 25. Scroll of Critical Damage needs 300 and Scroll of Summon needs 400, so plan Command points early.
• Stat Reset costs 500 Moo Gold and can be used once every 3 days, so plan the first points you spend.
