Account and install
The official guide splits the start into a few simple steps:
- Make a WEBZEN.COM account on www.webzen.com. If you sign up with Facebook, you skip the e-mail check.
- Press the DOWNLOAD button at the top right of the site to reach the client page, then get the latest installer.
- Install the client and open the MU icon on your desktop.
- In the launcher you can press Setting to change resolution, colour depth and sound, or press Game Start to go on.
- Finally, type your WEBZEN.COM password to confirm the account.
Once in, pick a class for your first character. The class decides your first town; see Classes Overview for all of them.
Tutorial quest and newbie ring
Right after you create a character, click the exclamation mark at the bottom right of the screen to get the Tutorial quest. It teaches the basics of MU and can be started by any character below level 80.
When you finish all Tutorial steps you receive the Ring of Fighter/Warrior. You may also give up the Tutorial to get the ring at once, but then you cannot continue the quest. Once your character reaches the ring's level (40 or 80), drop the ring on the ground: it turns into a random weapon or armour piece of item level 5 to 9, sometimes with extra damage or defence, Luck or a skill, or into some Zen.

The F1 play guide
The play guide is a help window for new and returning players with tips you can read while playing. After a certain level a button for it appears at the top left; you can also open it from Help in the system menu or with the F1 key. The window can cover part of the screen, so close it while hunting.
For all keys and chat commands, see Controls & Chat.
