Why jewels matter



Jewels are among the rarest and most useful items in MU Online. In the game's story, each one is a shard of the sealing stone that once held Kundun before it broke apart. There are seven main jewels: Chaos, Bless, Soul, Life and Creation, plus Guardian and Harmony.
Because they drop rarely, players use jewels as a kind of currency when trading items with each other.
Upgrade jewels: Bless, Soul and Chaos
| Icon | Jewel | What it does | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() | Jewel of Bless | Upgrades items up to +6 | 100%, never fails |
![]() | Jewel of Soul | Upgrades items from +0 to +9. On failure up to +7 the item loses 1 level; at +8 and +9 it falls to +0 | 50% (75% with Luck) |
![]() | Jewel of Chaos | The most common jewel; used in item combinations at the Chaos Goblin | Depends on the recipe |
The full rules for each level are in Item Upgrade (+1 to +15), and the combinations that use Jewel of Chaos are in Chaos Machine.
Other jewels and stones
| Jewel | What it does |
|---|---|
| Jewel of Life | Raises an item's normal option at 50% success; a failure lowers the option by 1 level |
| Jewel of Creation | Makes stat fruits, revives pets and is used in the socket system |
| Jewel of Guardian | Upgrades castle defenses, makes Life Stones and adds a pink option to special items |
| Gemstone | Refined into a Jewel of Harmony |
| Jewel of Harmony | Adds the yellow harmony option to items |
| Lower / Higher Refining Stone | Work on items that already have a harmony option |
The harmony option and the refining stones were reworked in Season 16; see Jewel of Harmony. Jewel of Creation and sockets are covered in Socket System & Seed Spheres, Jewel of Guardian's castle use in Castle Siege, and pet revival in Pets & Mounts.
Stacking jewels
Since Season 14In older seasons Bless and Soul could be packed into bundles of 10 and 30 for trading and some combinations. Season 14 replaced that with real stacking:
- Jewels stack and unstack right in the inventory, with no Zen cost, up to 50 per stack. New jewels stack by themselves when picked up.
- Most content takes jewels straight from a stack. A few recipes, such as making a Lapidary Stone, still want an exact number.
- The old jewel bundles can no longer be used.
