Knowing the keyboard shortcuts and chat commands in MU Online turns a slow, clicking-heavy experience into a fluid one. This guide covers every default shortcut and the most common commands across S6 servers.

Dica: The two most valuable keyboard shortcuts to memorize first: C (opens the stats and skills window — you'll use this for stat point allocation constantly) and I (inventory — managing items is a major part of MU Online). Every other shortcut is secondary to these two. Once those are automatic, add the skill hotkeys.

Keyboard shortcuts

CORE GAME WINDOWS:

Key → Function:
→ C: Character stats window (shows STR/AGI/VIT/ENE/CMD, level, class, available points)
→ I: Inventory window (all items in bag, equipped items)
→ V: Command window / Guild window (varies by client version)
→ M: World map (full server map, shows all zones)
→ N: Minimap toggle (small map overlay in the corner)

Player commands

STAT ALLOCATION COMMANDS:

Most S6 servers support the following point allocation commands:

/addstr [amount]  → Add [amount] points to Strength
/addagi [amount]  → Add [amount] points to Agility
/addvit [amount]  → Add [amount] points to Vitality
/addene [amount]  → Add [amount] points to Energy
/addcmd [amount]  → Add [amount] points to Command (Dark Lord ONLY)

Examples:
→ /addstr 50    adds 50 STR points to your character
→ /addvit 100   adds 100 VIT points to your character
→ /addcmd 200   adds 200 CMD points (DL only — others: command doesn't apply)

If the commands don't work:
→ Use the stats window (C key) and click the '+' buttons manually
→ Some servers disable commands for balance reasons (manual allocation only)
→ Check your server's command list for the exact syntax

---

PARTY COMMANDS:

Creating and managing a party:
→ Right-click on a player → "Invite to Party" option
→ Party chat: prefix ! before any message (example: !Let's go to Tarkan)
→ /leaveparty or /lp: leave your current party

Viewing party member status:
→ P key: opens the party window showing all members and their HP bars
→ Party members show HP bars above their heads or in the side panel

---

GUILD COMMANDS:

Guild management (for Guildmaster/Battle Masters):
→ G key: opens guild window with roster and rank information
→ /guildinvite [PlayerName] or /gi [PlayerName]: send guild invitation
→ /guildkick [PlayerName]: remove a player from the guild
→ Declare Guild War: in the guild window, there is a "Declare War" option

Guild chat:
→ Prefix @ before any message: sends to guild chat only
→ @ MeetAtKalima7In5Minutes → seen by all guild members only

---

DARK LORD SPECIFIC COMMANDS:

Summon (teleport party members to DL's position):
→ Activate Summon skill → party members receive a prompt → they accept → appear at DL's location
→ Skill hotbar: Summon must be assigned to a hotbar slot for efficient use
→ In Castle Siege: activate Summon → wait for party members to accept → they appear with DL

Call (Dark Raven command):
→ Dark Raven can be directed to attack a specific target
→ Interact through the skill system or the pet control interface

---

RESET COMMAND:

Typical reset syntax (server-specific):
→ /reset: initiate character reset (level returns to 1, bonus stats awarded)
→ Alternative: web panel reset button at your server's website
→ Alternative: reset NPC in Lorencia or a central map

Prerequisites before /reset works:
→ Character must be at max level (commonly 400)
→ Must have the reset cost ready (Zen, Jewels, or items — server-specific)
→ Some servers: character must be in a specific location (Lorencia safe zone) to reset

---

SERVER-SPECIFIC COMMANDS (COMMON ON S6 SERVERS):

These are NOT universal — check your server's command list:

PK clearing:
→ /clearfx or /pkclear: pay to clear PK status immediately (Zen cost)

Teleport to major cities:
→ /go lorencia, /go noria, /go devias: teleport to the named city (if enabled)
→ Some servers charge Zen per teleport; some are free

Event registration:
→ /joinbc1, /joinbc2, etc.: register for Blood Castle without walking to the NPC
→ /joinds1, /joinds2, etc.: same for Devil Square
→ These commands only work during the event registration window

Stats reset (if server allows):
→ /resetstats: reset all allocated stat points (costs vary significantly)
→ Only on servers that implement a stats reset mechanic

Buff self or party (on servers with this feature):
→ Server-specific — check your server's command documentation

How to find your server's complete command list:
→ Server website (often has a "Commands" page)
→ Server Discord (usually pinned in a help channel)
→ In-game: /help command on some servers lists available commands

---

COMMON HOTKEY CUSTOMIZATION:

Most S6 clients allow you to remap skill hotkeys:
→ Access key binding settings through: Esc → Settings → Controls (varies by client)
→ Reassign hotkeys for: skill activation, item use, chat shortcuts

Recommended hotkey setup (common preference):
→ F1: primary attack skill (DK: Twisting Slash, DW: Nova, Elf: Triple Shot)
→ F2: secondary attack skill
→ F3: defensive/utility skill (DK: Rageful Blow, DW: Teleport, Elf: Soul Barrier self)
→ F4: healing skill (Elf) or buff skill
→ Number keys 1-5: potions (HP, Mana, SD — assign in hotbar)
Nota: The stat allocation commands (/addstr, /addvit, etc.) save a significant amount of time when allocating points after a reset. At level 400 on a high-rate server: a player might have 400+ unallocated stat points from leveling alone (on top of reset bonus points). Clicking the '+' button in the stats window 400+ times is tedious; a single /addstr 200 /addvit 150 /addene 50 sequence takes 10 seconds. On servers where these commands are available: always use them for large point allocations.
Atenção: Be careful with the Shift + Click (drop item) shortcut if your client has it. Some players accidentally drop valuable items on the ground while managing inventory. Items dropped on the ground disappear after a short timer if not picked up. To be safe: drop items intentionally by moving them to the warehouse, not by ground-dropping during busy inventory management. Many players have lost Excellent items or Jewels of Creation to an accidental shift-click drop.

See also the beginner's guide (first steps that use these shortcuts in practice), the stat build guides per class (the exact allocations you'll be entering via /addstr and other commands), the reset guide (how the /reset command works in context of the progression system), and the party guide (using party commands and the party window in group play).

Frequently asked questions

How do I add stat points quickly in MU Online?

If your server supports stat commands: /addstr [amount] adds STR points, /addagi [amount] adds AGI points, /addvit [amount] adds VIT points, /addene [amount] adds ENE points. For Dark Lord specifically: /addcmd [amount] adds CMD points. Example: /addstr 100 adds 100 STR points instantly (if you have 100 unallocated points available). If commands don't work: use the 'C' key to open the stats window and click the '+' button next to each stat manually.

How does the chat system work in MU Online?

Press Enter to open the chat bar. Prefix your message with specific characters to target different channels: no prefix = normal chat (visible to nearby players), ! = party chat, @ = guild chat, ~ = alliance chat (most servers), $ or % = trade channel (varies by server), / at the beginning = a command (not chat). To whisper to a specific player: type /pm [PlayerName] [message] (syntax varies by server — some use /w or /msg instead of /pm).

How do I register for Blood Castle or Devil Square events?

Most S6 servers: walk to the event NPC (in Lorencia or a central map) and interact with them during the event registration window (the 5-10 minutes before the event starts). Some servers allow in-chat command registration: /joinbc [tier] or /joinds [tier] (server-specific commands). The NPC method is universal; the command method depends on your server's configuration. If you can't find the BC/DS NPC: look for a glowing NPC near the center of Lorencia.

What is the /post command and how do I use it?

The /post command (or /notice, /shout, or /announce depending on server) sends a message visible to all players on the entire server simultaneously. This is distinct from normal chat (visible nearby only) and trade chat. Most servers restrict /post to: VIP players, specific conditions (winning an event), or a cooldown. Spamming /post is generally a bannable action. Use trade chat for trading; /post is for server-wide announcements.
