Complete List of Excellent Options and Their Effects in MU Online
Detailed guide covering every Excellent option in MU Online S6: effects, ideal combinations per class, and how to maximize your gear.
What Are Excellent Items in MU Online
Excellent items are one of the core pillars of character power in MU Online S6. Recognizable by their distinctive blue glow, these pieces of equipment carry special options that go far beyond what any normal or even fully refined item can offer.
Every Excellent item has a set of bonus options selected randomly at the moment of its creation. Six possible options exist for each item category (weapon or armor), and a single item can accumulate all six at once — though this is exceptionally uncommon.
Excellent Options for Weapons
Weapon Excellent options are built around offensive enhancement. They directly affect damage output, attack speed, and resource recovery during combat.
| Option | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ignore Defense | Bypasses the target's defense on physical attacks | Highly valued in PvP |
| Excellent Damage Rate | +10% chance to deal Excellent damage | Damage multiplier trigger |
| Excellent Damage Increase | Increases the bonus damage dealt when Excellent triggers | Amplifies the option above |
| Attack Speed +7 | Adds +7 to attack speed | Equivalent to several AGI points |
| HP Recovery (after hit) | Recovers HP proportional to damage dealt | Essential for grinding sustainability |
| MP Recovery (after hit) | Recovers MP proportional to damage dealt | Reduces reliance on mana potions |
Excellent Options for Armors and Accessories
Armor options protect and sustain your character. Each armor piece — helm, armor, pants, gloves, and boots — shares the same pool of six possible Excellent options.
| Option | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Zen Increase (after kill) | Increases Zen dropped by monsters | Economic bonus |
| Defense Success Rate +10% | Raises successful block chance by 10% | Reduces PvP damage taken |
| Reflect Damage | Reflects a portion of damage received back to the attacker | Fixed percentage per piece |
| Damage Reduction | Reduces incoming damage | Stacks across armor pieces |
| HP Recovery Rate | Automatically recovers HP over time | Vital for tanks like DK |
| MP Recovery Rate | Automatically recovers MP over time | Essential for DW and Summoner |
The Damage Reduction calculation is particularly important in S6. Each piece with this option reduces damage by a fixed percentage, and multiple pieces stack — however, a server-side cap exists to prevent total damage immunity.
Recommended Combinations by Class
Different classes benefit from different Excellent options, both on weapons and armor. The breakdown below shows priority combinations for each class available in S6:
DK (Blade Knight / Blade Master)
Weapon → Ignore Defense + Excellent Damage Rate + Attack Speed +7
Armor → HP Recovery Rate + Damage Reduction + Defense Success Rate
DW (Soul Master / Grand Master)
Weapon → MP Recovery + Excellent Damage Rate + Excellent Damage Increase
Armor → MP Recovery Rate + HP Recovery Rate + Damage Reduction
Elf (Muse Elf / High Elf)
Weapon → Excellent Damage Rate + Attack Speed +7 + HP Recovery
Armor → Defense Success Rate + HP Recovery Rate + Damage Reduction
MG (Duel Master)
Weapon → Ignore Defense + Excellent Damage Rate + Attack Speed +7
Armor → Damage Reduction + HP Recovery Rate + Defense Success Rate
DL (Lord Emperor)
Weapon → Excellent Damage Rate + Excellent Damage Increase + MP Recovery
Armor → HP Recovery Rate + Damage Reduction + Zen Increase
Summoner (Bloody Summoner / Dimension Master)
Weapon → MP Recovery + Excellent Damage Rate + Excellent Damage Increase
Armor → MP Recovery Rate + HP Recovery Rate + Damage ReductionHow to Obtain Excellent Items
Excellent items are obtained exclusively through drops from monsters and boss encounters. There is no standard S6 Chaos recipe that converts a normal item into an Excellent one — the Excellent status always originates from a natural in-game drop.
The best farming locations with the highest probability of dropping quality Excellent gear include:
- Atlans 3 and 4 — frequent drops for mid-level equipment
- Tarkan 1 and 2 — solid drops for intermediate to advanced gear
- Aida 1 and 2 — excellent drops for high-level equipment
- Lost Tower 6 and 7 — consistent Excellent farming ground
- Kanturu 2 and 3 — high-level drops with chances for rare set pieces
- Kundun and other boss monsters — higher probability of rolling multiple options
The Chaos Machine accepts Chaos Jewels for high-level item combinations, but whether results come out as Excellent depends entirely on server-side randomness — there is no guaranteed method to produce Excellent items through crafting.
Jewels Related to the Excellent System
MU Online S6's jewel system interacts directly with obtaining and improving equipment:
| Jewel | Primary Use |
|---|---|
| Jewel of Bless | Raises refinement level (+1) with no break risk below +7 |
| Jewel of Soul | Raises refinement level with failure chance above +7 |
| Jewel of Life | Adds a sort option (+Lucky, +Skill, +Option) to the item |
| Jewel of Chaos | Used in the Chaos Machine to combine and craft advanced items |
| Jewel of Creation | Required for specific Chaos Machine combinations |
| Jewel of Guardian | Used for socket additions or special options |
| Jewel of Harmony | Adds or modifies Harmony options on items |
Difference Between Excellent Options and Harmony Options
New players commonly confuse Excellent options with Harmony options. The distinction matters:
Excellent options are part of the item from the moment it drops. They cannot be removed or altered — an item with "Ignore Defense" will always have that option, regardless of any subsequent modifications.
Harmony options are added later through the Jewel of Harmony in the Chaos Machine. They can be wiped and reapplied, allowing players to attempt to roll the desired Harmony option by spending Jewels of Harmony. Examples of weapon Harmony options include flat physical damage increases, attribute bonuses such as Strength or Agility, and additional attack speed boosts.
Combining strong Excellent options with a well-rolled Harmony option on the same item produces elite-tier equipment in S6.
Evaluating the Value of an Excellent Item
When assessing or trading an Excellent item, consider these factors in order of importance:
- Item tier — higher-level items (e.g., Divine, Thunder Hawk) have superior base damage/defense
- Number of Excellent options — 6 options always outweighs 4 options on the same item type
- Option quality — Ignore Defense and Excellent Damage Rate are more valuable than Zen Increase
- Refinement level — a +13 with 4 options may outperform a +9 with 6 options in certain scenarios
- Target class — an option ideal for a DW may be irrelevant for a DK
- Harmony option applied — significantly raises an item's overall value
- Item sort — Lucky, Skill, and additional options all contribute to total item value
The combination of all these factors at their peak produces the most sought-after and powerful items on any server.
Perguntas frequentes
What is an Excellent item in MU Online?
Excellent items are enhanced versions of standard equipment, identifiable by their blue glow and the 'Exc' prefix in the item name. They can carry between 1 and 6 additional Excellent options on top of normal item attributes and the refinement level (+0 to +15). Each Excellent option adds a unique bonus unavailable through any other means, such as mana regeneration or percentage-based damage increases.
How many Excellent options can one item have?
A single Excellent item can have between 1 and 6 simultaneous options. The probability of rolling more options decreases progressively — getting all 6 options on one item is extremely rare and highly prized. Each option is determined randomly when the item is generated or produced through the Chaos Machine.
Are Excellent options different for weapons and armors?
Yes, Excellent options are split into two groups: weapon options (focused on damage, attack speed, and offensive bonuses) and armor/accessory options (focused on defense, regeneration, and damage reduction). An Excellent helm can roll HP Recovery Rate, for example, while an Excellent sword can roll Ignore Defense.
Is it worth using an Excellent item with poor options?
It depends on your progression stage. Early on, even a single-option Excellent item provides a meaningful boost through its higher base stats. However, for advanced content, specific options matter greatly — especially Excellent Damage Rate and HP/Mana Recovery on weapons, and Damage Reduction on armors.
