Tarkan Farm Guide: Advanced Spots and Best Efficiency
Master Tarkan with advanced farm spots, class-optimized builds, and step-by-step routines to maximize item drops and Zen income.
Why Tarkan Is S6's Most Contested Farm Map
Tarkan occupies a unique position in MU Online S6's progression ladder: it is the first genuinely difficult map that reliably drops complete level-5 sets with excellent options. Unlike Atlans (level-4 sets) and Icarus (mandatory flight), Tarkan balances accessibility with reward — provided you arrive prepared.
The map splits into Tarkan 1 and Tarkan 2, each with distinct difficulty, monster density, and drop quality. Understanding this division is the first step toward truly efficient farming.

Class Builds for Tarkan Farming
Blade Master (Dark Knight) — Tank/DPS Build
The Blade Master in Tarkan relies on the Twisting Slash (AoE) and Rageful Blow combination to clear groups. The priority is survivability paired with enough damage to kill clusters of Kentauros and Mutants quickly.
Stat Distribution at Level 350:
STR: 300 → physical damage, equipment requirements
AGI: 150 → attack speed and defense
VIT: 200 → enough HP to absorb Mutant hits
ENE: minimum required (usually 25 base)
Recommended Equipment for Tarkan:
- Weapon: Bone Blade +11+DD+Luck or Great Reign Crossbow +11 (ranged option)
- Armor: Dark Phoenix Set +9+DD complete
- Wings: Wing of Dragon +9 (DK L2 Wing)
- Rings: Ring of Fire x2 or Ring of Ice x2
Duel Master (Magic Gladiator) — Hybrid Build
The MG is the most versatile class in Tarkan. Since MG has no first or second class quests, you reach your final form earlier and can split points between STR and ENE to use both physical and magical skills simultaneously.
Stat Distribution at Level 350:
STR: 250 → physical damage and weapon prerequisites
AGI: 100 → attack speed
VIT: 180 → survivability against Iron Rider
ENE: 220 → Lightning Attack and MG Twisting Slash damage
Skill Rotation in Tarkan 2:
1. Position yourself inside a cluster of Iron Riders
2. Twisting Slash (AoE physical) → eliminates 3-4 monsters per cast
3. Lightning Attack → focus on remaining high-HP monsters
4. Move to the next group while Twisting Slash recharges
High Elf — AGI Archer Build for Tarkan
The High Elf with an AGI build uses Multishot and Infinity Arrow for long-range farming. The advantage is never entering melee range with monsters; the downside is the high mana cost of Infinity Arrow.
Stat Distribution at Level 350:
STR: 100 → minimum for Elf equipment
AGI: 450 → primary damage, speed, and evasion
VIT: 150 → base HP
ENE: minimum (30 base)
Recommended Spot for Elf in Tarkan 1: Position 85-115, 180-210 — dense cluster of Kentauros with minimal terrain irregularities. The Elf can attack from outside melee range and use Multishot to hit 3-4 monsters simultaneously.
Grand Master (Dark Wizard) — Full ENE Build
The Grand Master in Tarkan uses Evil Spirit and Drain Life as primary skills. With high ENE, Drain Life functions as passive healing against large groups.
Stat Distribution at Level 350:
STR: 30 → absolute minimum
AGI: 30 → absolute minimum
VIT: 150 → sufficient HP
ENE: everything else (~2,290 points at level 350)

Spot 3: Kundun's Servant — Tarkan 2 (245, 200)

Inventory Management and Efficiency Tips
Efficient Tarkan farming is not just about killing monsters fast — it is about maximizing the value of every item that drops.
Drop Priority in Tarkan:
Priority 1: Excellent items with 2+ good options
Priority 2: Jewel of Soul, Jewel of Bless, Jewel of Life
Priority 3: Any item +9 or higher
Priority 4: +7/+8 pieces of high-level sets (Dark Phoenix, Venom Mist)
Skip: Normal items +0 to +6, cheap consumables
Session Time Optimization:
- 2-3 hour sessions are more efficient than extended marathon sessions
- Run Devil Square and Blood Castle in the gaps between farm sessions
- Complete daily events before entering Tarkan (active XP bonuses help progression)
Natural Progression After Mastering Tarkan
Once you farm Tarkan confidently and assemble a complete Excellent level 5-6 set, the natural next steps are:
- Aida — Stronger monsters, Bone and Legendary set drops with excellent options
- Karutan — Level-7 set drops, ideal for characters approaching level 380+
- Kanturu — Requires a specific quest, but drops Crystal Sword and Ring of Magic frequently
- Kalima — Maps 1-6 with escalating difficulty and unique drops including legendary set pieces
The transition from Tarkan to Aida should happen when you can clear Kundun's Servants without consuming potions regularly. That is the clearest signal that your build and equipment are ready for the next tier.
