Excellent Items

Gear in MU Online can roll random bonuses, which players call options. Excellent items are a rare kind: they shine with rainbow colors and their name and text appear in bright green. On top of that they carry extra properties, anything from more total Mana to more overall damage.

An Excellent item is still a normal item underneath: it can be raised in level, can have Luck and can have the regular bonus option. Ancient items go one step further, with the same text color plus a blue background and extra set options.

Excellent weapons and Excellent armor draw from different bonus pools. For this purpose pendants count as weapons and rings count as armor, so a pendant rolls weapon-type Excellent options and a ring rolls armor-type ones.

The official guides do not have one page that lists every Excellent option. The clearest official example is the Bloodangel weapon sold at the Ruud shop: it always has Excellent damage rate +10% and then 1 or 2 more Excellent options from this list, sometimes with Luck.

• Attack (Wizardry) speed +7
• Gain Life/8 when a monster is killed
• Gain Mana/8 when a monster is killed
• Attack damage +1.5 for every 20 levels
• Attack damage +42

• Luck: raises the success chance when you level the item with a Jewel of Soul or in the Chaos Machine, and every Luck item you wear adds 5% chance of critical damage.
• Bonus option: raised with a Jewel of Life. On weapons it adds damage, on armor it adds total defense as a percentage, and on shields it adds defense rate.
• Excellent items, wings and items at +5 or higher are never dropped when you die.

For more on levels and jewels, see Item Upgrade (+1 to +15) and Jewels.

The Mysterious Stone randomly replaces the current options of Mastery and Legendary set armor, weapons and shields. You drag it onto the item. The new result can be the same as before or even worse. Once an item has reached its highest stat option, that part stays and only the bonus options change. The stone can be stored, traded and sold to an NPC shop.
