The Shadow Phantom Soldier
The official guide's first tip for new players is simple: pick up the buff before you head out to hunt. Both the buff and your first quests come from the same NPC, the Shadow Phantom Soldier.
- Open the world map and walk to the spot marked in red, where the Shadow Phantom Soldier stands.
- Talk to him and choose the Buff answer.
- Talk to him again and choose Quest to receive your first tasks: hunting Spiders and Budge Dragons.

New quests keep appearing as your level rises. The guide calls hunting while doing quests the quickest way to level up; see the Leveling Guide for more.
The Tutorial quest
Right after you create a character, an exclamation mark appears at the bottom right of the screen. Clicking it starts the Tutorial quest, a chain meant to teach you how MU works and help you on the road. Any character below level 80 can start it. See How to Start for the first steps in the game.
- Finishing every Tutorial quest earns the Ring of Fighter/Warrior.
- If you give up the Tutorial, the ring is handed over at once, but the Tutorial can never be continued.
- Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord, Rage Fighter and Grow Lancer get neither the Tutorial quest nor the ring.
Once you reach level 40/level 80, drop the Ring of Fighter/Warrior on the ground. It turns into one random item: a weapon or armor piece of item level 5 to 9 that may carry extra damage or defense, Luck or a skill option, or sometimes an amount of Zen instead.
| Possible items from the ring |
|---|
| Swords and sets: Katana, Blade, Sword of Salamander, Light Saber, Leather Set, Bronze Set, Brass Set |
| Staffs and sets: Skull Staff, Serpent Staff, Thunder Staff, Pad Set, Bone Set, Sphinx Set |
| Bows, crossbows and sets: Golden Crossbow, Light Crossbow, Tiger Bow, Vine Set, Silk Set, Wind Set |
Daily quests
Since Season 6Season 6 brought daily quests. After you finish one, you have to wait a set time before taking another; when that time has passed, the same quest can be done again.
- They are open to characters of level 350 to 400.
- You first register for the daily quest, then use the quest item to receive the quest itself.
