Dark Lord Quest: Evolution and Third Quest Step-by-Step
Complete guide to the Dark Lord quests in MU Online S6: evolve to Lord Emperor with builds, items, and detailed farming spots.
The Dark Lord is one of the most unique classes in MU Online S6. Unlike the Dark Knight, Dark Wizard, and Fairy Elf, he does not perform the first or second quest — he goes directly to the third quest at level 380, which transforms him into a Lord Emperor. This guide covers every step: stat builds, farming spots, and the exact third quest procedure.
Understanding the Dark Lord
The Dark Lord has the exclusive stat CMD (Command), which exists in no other class. CMD controls:
- The strength and level of the Horse (combat mount)
- The strength and level of the Raven (attack familiar bird)
- Access to specific skills such as Chaotic Diseier and Fire Burst
- Maximum summoning capacity
The Dark Lord's stats affect the character as follows:
- STR — physical damage with scepters and base defense
- AGI — attack speed, additional defense, and dodge rate
- VIT — HP (each point equals roughly 2 HP with level multipliers)
- ENE — magic damage, Fire Burst damage, and Chaotic Diseier strength
- CMD — Horse and Raven level, exclusive skills
Stat Build: From Level 1 to 380
Phase 1 — Level 1 to 150 (Farming in Lorencia and Noria)
Level 1-50:
→ Put all points into CMD until you reach 50 CMD
→ Then alternate: 2 CMD, 1 ENE, 1 VIT
Approximate distribution at level 150:
STR: 50 (minimum to equip starting scepters)
AGI: 30
VIT: 80
ENE: 60
CMD: 130
Phase 2 — Level 150 to 300 (Atlans and Lost Tower)
Level 150-300:
→ Priority: CMD and ENE in a 2:1 ratio
→ Add VIT if you die frequently
Approximate distribution at level 300:
STR: 80
AGI: 50
VIT: 150
ENE: 130
CMD: 220
Phase 3 — Level 300 to 380 (Tarkan and Icarus)
Level 300-380 (pre-quest):
→ Finalize your base before evolving
Target distribution at level 380:
STR: 100
AGI: 60
VIT: 200
ENE: 160
CMD: 260
Free points for after the third quest: ~120 (distribute into CMD/ENE after evolving)

Perguntas frequentes
Does the Dark Lord need to do the first and second quest?
No. The Dark Lord is a special class in S6 and skips directly to the third quest (level 380). He does not go through the first or second quest like DK, DW, and Elf do.
Which stat should I prioritize on the Dark Lord before the third quest?
Focus on CMD (Command) to increase the power of the Horse and Raven, and ENE for spell damage. A safe distribution up to level 380 is: 200 CMD, 150 ENE, 100 STR, with the remainder in VIT for survivability.
Where is the fastest farming spot for Dark Lord between level 150 and 300?
Atlans 1 (levels 150-220) with Lizard Warriors and Spiders, then Lost Tower floors 4-5 (levels 220-300) with Poison Bull Fighters and Death Knights. Use the Raven to pull groups.
Does the Lord Emperor get first-level wings?
No. The Dark Lord has no Wing level 1. After becoming Lord Emperor, he can directly use the Cape of Lord (equivalent to Wings L2) and in endgame the Cape of Emperor (the class Wings L3).
