Noria and Devias: complete guide to MU Online's second and third maps
Complete guide to Noria and Devias in MU Online: Noria (the Fairy Elf homeland, level 1-30, Chaos Goblin location, Unicorn monsters, early Goblin farming), Devias (the ice map, level 15-50, Yeti/Ice Golem/Assassin, better EXP than Lorencia/Noria), all NPCs in both cities, why Noria matters beyond early levels (Chaos Goblin, Unicorn Horns for Dinorant), and the optimal leveling progression through both maps.
Noria and Devias are the two maps that bridge the gap between Lorencia's beginner area and the mid-level dungeons. Noria is the crafting hub with the Chaos Goblin. Devias is the first map that genuinely tests your survival. Both are essential steps in any character's progression.

Level 35-50: Poison Golem, Dark Knight versions in deeper Devias
Level 50+: Move to Dungeon / Lost Tower

Why Devias is better than staying in Lorencia/Noria:
EXP comparison (approximate):
→ Goblin in Noria (level 15 character): 500 EXP per kill
→ Yeti in Devias (level 15 character): 1500 EXP per kill
→ 3x more EXP for the same time investment
Item quality:
→ Devias monsters drop better Excellent items than Noria
→ Occasional good item drops start here (weapons/armor worth upgrading)Progression advice
Optimal path through both maps:
Level 1-10: Lorencia
→ Bug, Budge Dragon — get the basics
Level 10-20: Noria
→ Goblin, Elite Goblin — better EXP
→ Find the Chaos Goblin early (important for later)
→ Optionally: farm a few Unicorn Horns (put aside for Dinorant)
Level 20-30: Transition to Devias
→ Yeti and Ice Monster — much better EXP
→ Start accumulating items for upgrading
Level 30-45: Devias mid-zone
→ Assassins for steady EXP
→ By now should have +3 to +5 gear
Level 45-60: Move to Dungeon
→ Devias starts falling behind Dungeon EXP at this range
→ Stronger monsters, better drops
---
Common mistakes in Noria/Devias:
Mistake 1: Not finding the Chaos Goblin early
→ Players miss it → find out later → didn't know Noria had it
→ Fix: visit Noria's Chaos Goblin area as soon as you arrive
Mistake 2: Staying in Noria too long
→ Noria's EXP is only good to ~level 20
→ Moving to Devias at level 15-18 is strongly encouraged
Mistake 3: Entering Devias without potions
→ Yeti hits noticeably harder than Noria monsters
→ Always buy 50+ potions before entering Devias for the first time
Mistake 4: Ignoring Unicorn Horns
→ Unicorn Horns look like junk but are for Dinorant crafting
→ If you see Unicorns: farm 5 Horns, put in warehouse
→ You'll thank yourself when you start Dinorant crafting laterSee also the Dungeon and Lost Tower guide (the next maps after Noria/Devias), the Chaos Goblin combinations guide (what the Chaos Machine in Noria can do), and the Dinorant guide (why those Unicorn Horns you're ignoring matter so much).
Frequently asked questions
Which class is Noria best for?
Noria is the Fairy Elf's homeland — the Elf class starts here rather than Lorencia on some server configurations. But all classes benefit from Noria at level 1-30. More importantly: the Chaos Goblin (the crafting NPC) is typically in Noria, which makes Noria critical for ALL classes at all levels (you return to Noria every time you need to combine items).
What level is recommended for Devias?
Devias is recommended around level 15-50. It's MU's ice region — monsters include Yeti, Ice Monster, Assassin, and Poison Golem at higher areas. The EXP jump from Lorencia to Devias is significant. Don't enter Devias before level 15 (monsters can kill undergeared characters quickly).
Where is the Chaos Goblin?
On most S6 servers: the Chaos Goblin (Chaos Machine) is in Noria. It's one of the most important NPCs in the game — you need it for Wing crafting, Fenrir crafting, Dinorant crafting, and all other item combinations. When you need to combine anything: you're going to Noria.
What are Unicorn Horns and why are they in Noria?
Unicorn monsters (Unicorn) spawn in Noria. When killed, they drop Unicorn Horns — the material needed to craft Horn of Dinorant (step 1 of Dinorant creation). You need 5x Unicorn Horn. Even at end-game: players return to Noria's Unicorn spawn to farm Horn for Dinorant crafting.
