Ancient Items Hunt Guide: Where to Farm Ancient Sets in MU

What Are Ancient Items and Why Farm Them

Ancient Items are rare equipment in MU Online S6 that carry exclusive fixed bonuses — called ancient options — on top of an item's normal stats. These bonuses include direct increases to STR, AGI, VIT, ENE, damage, defense, and even special abilities that exist nowhere else in the game.

Unlike Excellent Items, Ancient Items belong to named sets. Equipping 2, 3, or more pieces from the same set activates progressive set bonuses that can completely transform your character's efficiency in both PvP and PvE.

The most sought-after sets in S6 are:

Farm Locations by Character Level

The map where you should farm ancients depends directly on your level and your character's damage output and survivability. Farming in the wrong map means constant death and zero efficiency.

Level 40–80: Devias and Dungeon

In Devias (Devias 1–3) you find the first useful ancients:

• Yeti (level 82) — drops Bronze and Pad set ancients
• Werewolf (level 78) — Leather set ancients
• Hommerd (level 94) — mid-tier ancients

In Dungeon (Dungeon 1–3):

• Devil (level 56) and Hell Spider (level 60) — Bone and Sphinx ancients
• Gorgon (level 74) — Sphinx and Scale ancients

Dungeon 1 → Dungeon 2 → Dungeon 3 route:
  Dungeon 1 entrance → sweep central corridors
  → climb to Dungeon 2 (monsters level 60–70)
  → upper Dungeon 3 (monsters level 80–95)
  → return to start (respawn ~3 minutes)

Level 80–110: Losttower and Atlans

Losttower (LT 1–7) is the main destination for levels 80–100:

• Death Angel (level 94) — LT3 and LT4, drops Dark and Plate ancients
• Death Centurion (level 102) — LT5 and LT6
• Balrog (level 108) — LT7, chance at Darkangel and Dragon ancients

Atlans (Atlans 1–3):

• Bahamut (level 100) — drops Adamantine set ancients
• Hydra (level 100) — Plate and Dragon ancients
• Silver Valkyrie (level 105) — Seraphim ancients (Elf)

Level 110–150: Aida and Kanturu

Aida (Aida 1–2) — versatile map for level 110+:

• Bali (level 117) — Adamantine and Dark Soul ancients
• Soldier (level 120) — high-tier ancients
• Aida Boss (Kundun 3) — guaranteed drop of tier-3+ ancients

Kanturu (Kanturu 1–3):

• Grizzly (level 115) — Kanturu 1
• Bloody Soldier (level 120) — Kanturu 2
• Iron Wheel (level 125) — Kanturu 3, rare ancients from Hyon and Sylion sets

Kanturu 3 route (level 120+):
  Spawn → sweep north room (Iron Wheels)
  → east corridor (Mechanical Golems, level 130)
  → south room (Recluse, level 128)
  → return to spawn
  Cycle: ~8 minutes | EXP/hour: excellent

Farm Strategy for Each Class

Dark Knight (Blade Knight / Blade Master)

Distribute stats focusing on STR with enough VIT to absorb incoming damage:

• STR: 60–65% of points
• AGI: minimum required to equip target gear
• VIT: 25–30% of points
• ENE: base minimum only

Use Spiral Slash and Death Stab for single targets; use Twisting Slash for groups. In LT6 and LT7, combining partial Darkangel + Sword of Destruction significantly increases clear speed.

Dark Wizard (Soul Master / Grand Master)

Focus on ENE to maximize magic damage:

• ENE: 70%+ of points
• VIT: 20–25% (never neglect — GM dies easily)
• STR/AGI: minimum required for equipment

Use Nova and Inferno in Aida to wipe groups. In Kanturu, Ice Storm with high ENE (800+) eliminates Iron Wheels in 2–3 hits.

Elf (Muse Elf / High Elf)

Distribute between AGI and VIT:

• AGI: 55–60% of points (increases bow damage and defense)
• VIT: 30% of points
• ENE: 10–15% to increase skill damage

Multi-shot and Penetration are the main farm skills. In Atlans, Silver Valkyrie falls fast with Penetration + Power Arrows.

Magic Gladiator (Duel Master)

MG does not perform the 1st or 2nd class promotion quests but compensates with versatility. Distribute:

• STR: 40%
• AGI: 30%
• ENE: 20%
• VIT: 10% (MG has a high HP bonus per level)

Dark Lord (Lord Emperor)

DL uses the CMD stat to increase the damage and HP of summoned horses and servants:

• STR: 35%
• AGI: 20%
• VIT: 25%
• ENE: 10%
• CMD: 10% (minimum 200 for high-level Dark Horse to be useful)

When farming solo, Dark Horse + Fire Scream performs excellently in LT5–LT7.

Summoner (Bloody Summoner / Dimension Master)

Put nearly everything into ENE:

• ENE: 75%+
• VIT: 20%
• STR/AGI: minimum for equipment

Decay and Dimension Scar are the most efficient farm skills. In Aida 2, a Dimension Master can wipe entire groups with a single Decay sequence.

Set Bonuses: How to Maximize Your Return

Each ancient belongs to a named set. Equipping multiple pieces from the same set activates progressive bonuses:

Example: Hyon Set (DK) — bonuses by equipped pieces:
  2 pieces → +15 STR, +10% attack speed
  3 pieces → +25 STR, +15% attack speed
  4 pieces → +40 STR, +20% attack speed, +5% critical damage
  5 pieces → +60 STR, +25% attack speed, +10% critical damage

Prioritize completing the set before optimizing individual item options (+luck, +skill, etc.). A fully activated set bonus outperforms isolated pieces with excellent options in the majority of farming scenarios.

Bosses for High-Tier Ancient Items

For the rarest and most powerful ancients, bosses are mandatory:

• Kundun 4 and 5 — Crywolf, recommended level 300+, drops tier-4–5 ancients
• Selupan — Raklion, recommended level 350+, exclusive drops of rare sets
• Medusa — Atlans 3, recommended level 250+, Seraphim and Adamantine ancients
• Dark Elf — Lorencia, field boss, low-to-mid level ancients

Organize parties for bosses. DK and DL serve as tanks; DW and Summoner as DPS; Elf as support (heal + buffs with Bless and Defense).

Pre-Hunt Checklist for Ancient Farming

Before heading out to farm, verify:

• Adequate level for the map (avoid maps with monsters 30+ levels above you)
• Potions stocked up (minimum 200 HP Pots and 100 Mana Pots per 1-hour session)
• Antidotes for Atlans and Aida
• Inventory space (ancients are 2x2 to 2x4 items)
• Town Portal Scrolls or Scroll of Town (for quick return to the city)
• Wings or Cape equipped (mobility is crucial in large maps)
