Mu Online

Character classes

Players initially choose from 15 character classes: Dark Wizard, Dark Knight, Elf, Summoner, Rage Fighter, Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord, Grow Lancer, Rune Wizard, Slayer, Gun Crusher, White Mage Kundun, Mage Lemuria, Illusion Knight, Alchemist, and Crusader. Reaching a certain level with one character unlocks the Magic Gladiator and Dark Lord classes; additional classes can be unlocked via purchased character cards. Each class has specific powers and items. As characters level up and complete quests, they can transform into stronger classes, gaining new spells, skills, weapons, wings, and a changed appearance. Characters use magic and special abilities; each class has its own spells, and some enchanted weapons grant spells. Casting costs MP and sometimes AG or stamina. A built-in chat system allows text communication among visible players, and users can maintain a Friends List. Guild chat and Party chat are also available. Players can form parties to cooperate against monsters, sharing experience and loot. Early seasons rewarded higher-level players with extra experience for helping lower-level players. Party members could not see each other's levels, but health bars allowed approximate level guesses. Some builds, such as the part elf, were designed solely for parties, focusing on energy, summoning a mob for protection, and buffing allies.
