<Press Release>

 
South Korea – August 20, 2024 - WEBZEN, a global developer and publisher of PC and mobile games, has announced that its classic PC MMORPG, MU Online, has delivered the second update of MU Season 19-1, which features a new hunting area as well as powerful weapons and armors.
 
New Elemental Hunting Ground – Tormenta Island
Players will discover the new lore of Tormenta Island—taking place before the rise of Elveland. The newly added Elemental Hunting Ground is said to have served as a refuge for Elveans after the annihilation of Elve by Lemuria. To protect the island, Elveans built Iruha’s Wall, but it did not stop Lemuria from overpowering them and sealing the island. The Elveans fell into a deep sleep, only awakening as Lemuria's seal weakened. Now, though the seal has faded, Tormenta Island remains under the sway of Lemuria’s lingering influence, with Spirit-type Monsters ruling the island’s powerful energy.
 
Players with characters level 1,280 and above will be able to access the island via its entrance at Elveland (182,195) or by using 50,000 Zen to move via the Travel Command Window. The island’s main monsters are powerful level 850 monsters Storm Guard, Storm Reaper and Storm Fiend, and they will drop items such as Excellent Lightning Armors and Apocalypse Talisman of Chaos Combination Fragments.
 
9th Mastery Weapons – Apocalypse Weapons
Apocalypse Weapons can be crafted with a 100% success rate by combining Brilliant Weapons (8th Mastery Weapons) with a Mastery Combination material. Characters at level 1400 or higher can then equip these weapons according to their classes, unlocking their full potential and experiencing their immense power.
 
10th Mastery Armors – Ancient Lightning Armors
Ancient Lightning Set items can be crafted with a 100% success rate by combining Apocalypse Armors (9th Mastery Armors) with a Mastery Combination Material. Players can equip their class-specific Ancient Lightning Armors once they reach level 1500. Equipping more pieces of the same set enhances the strength of the set effects, providing the player with progressively greater benefits.
 
With this update, the maximum level cap has been raised from 1,550 to 1,600, allowing players to take on greater challenges. Additionally, players who reach level 1,550 before the cap increase will receive the Grow Lancer Muun (Season Level Reward), which will boost their Skill power and Basic Ability.
 
To celebrate the update, the team has rolled out a range of thrilling events and rewards running until September 10. Players can participate in the Elemental Symbols collection event to earn valuable prizes such as Talisman Element Change, Bless of Light (Greater), Ruud, and Bloodangel Soul. Along with that, the EXP Boost event will offer a 30% increase in EXP for monster hunting during the specified time, along with a 20% reduction in Monster HP throughout the entire event period.
 
Ultimately, players shouldn’t miss the chance to spin the Roulettes for a shot at rare items and seize the opportunity for limited-time discounts on exclusive items and packages in the Special Sales.
