South Korea – September 10, 2024 - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of PC and mobile games, has announced that its classic PC MMORPG, MU Online, has released its final installment of the MU Season 19-1 Update, featuring the introduction of 5th Level Wings and 5th Class Advancement.
Great power comes with the great Lv.5 Wings. For the first time since 2018, players will notice a remarkable increase in their strength via the glorious evolution of the Lv.5 Wings (Capes). Lv.5 Wings can be crafted by combining a Lv.5 Wings Divine Object with an Ultimate Magic Crystal and Zen. Additionally, equipping the Wing Core will provide distinctive visual effects and extra benefits, showcasing the true potential of the Lv.5 Wings.
Along with this update, WEBZEN introduces an exciting challenge for high-level players with the 5th Class Advancement. After reaching level 1200 and completing three quests given by NPC Eunice, players will unlock Extra DMG (Nuke, Bolt, and Wide) and receive final Clear Rewards, including Extra Ability Cards (Nuke, Bolt, and Wide). These Extra DMG types, which deliver substantial damage to single or multiple targets, become available once the corresponding Ability Card is equipped in the Ability Upgrade Cores following the 5th Class Advancement.
Additionally, players can hunt monsters in Burning Kethotum or higher to collect Ability Crystals, which can be used to craft Skill Ability Cards, Option Ability Cards, and Elite Ability Cards. These cards enhance skill effects and abilities, further boosting the character’s strength.
With the 5th Class Advancement, players also gain access to the exclusive Giant Mount. This armored, two-legged walking robot increases movement speed by +20 when ridden. It can be obtained by completing a quest with NPC Eunice after finishing all three initial Class Advancement quests.
To celebrate the final installment of the MU Season 19-1 update, the MU Online team has also organized a series of exciting in-game events.
From now until October 2, players can enjoy events such as Bless in Tormenta Island, Event Maps Double Up, Mastery Accessory Upgrade Success Rate UP, and Guardian Upgrade Stone Moss Drop Rate UP, which offer enhanced drop rates or increased success rates.
Players should also not miss the chance to obtain complementary gifts by logging in to the game daily. Extra rewards will also be given out if daily playtime is longer than 2 hours, with a final special reward given upon reaching 150 hours of total playtime during the event period.
Special sales are also available until October 2, with highlights on the Mystic Gift Box for Lv.5 Wing and Bonus Wcoin up to 30% when topping up with Wcoin.
