NPC Ruud Exchanger: Ruud System and Trades in MU Online
Complete guide to the NPC Ruud Exchanger in MU Online S6: how to earn Ruud, trade tables, requirements, and strategies to maximize your gains.
What is the Ruud System
Ruud is one of the most important special currencies in MU Online Season 6, functioning as a parallel reward system alongside Zen (the game's standard currency). Unlike Zen, which is obtained by selling items and from monster drops, Ruud is earned exclusively through event participation, completion of specific quests, and character progression rewards.
The NPC Ruud Exchanger is the central point of this system, allowing players to convert their accumulated Ruud into high-value items, including exclusive equipment, rare Jewels, and crafting materials that cannot be obtained any other way in S6.
NPC Ruud Exchanger Location
The NPC Ruud Exchanger is strategically positioned in Lorencia, the starting map and main hub of MU Online. To find it:
Lorencia → Central Area → Approximate coordinates X: 130, Y: 135
The NPC has a distinct appearance with a golden aura and is always accompanied by a trade symbol visible on the minimap. On some servers, a secondary access point may be available in Devias, making it more convenient for higher-level players who move between mid-tier maps (Atlans, Tarkan, Icarus).
How to Earn Ruud
Primary Sources of Ruud
Earning Ruud in S6 is tied primarily to event participation and quest completion. Below are the most reliable sources, with their level requirements and daily limits:
| Source | Ruud per Participation | Frequency | Minimum Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood Castle (BC 1-7) | 30 – 260 | 2x per day | 15 |
| Devil Square (DS 1-5) | 40 – 120 | 2x per day | 20 |
| Chaos Castle (CC) | 20 – 80 | 4x per day | 15 |
| Illusion Temple | 50 – 200 | 3x per day | 100 |
| Imperial Guardian | 80 – 300 | 1x per day | 200 |
| Character Quests | 50 – 500 | One-time | Varies |
| Level Up Rewards | 10 – 100 | Per level | Automatic |
Event Ruud Breakdown
Blood Castle (Levels 1 through 7)
Blood Castle is divided into 7 stages, each with distinct level requirements and proportional rewards. The Ruud amount varies based on individual performance: the player who destroys the Blood Stone or contributes most throughout the event receives the top-performance bonus.
| BC Level | Character Level | Ruud (Participation) | Ruud (Top Performance) |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC 1 | 15 – 80 | 30 | 60 |
| BC 2 | 81 – 130 | 45 | 90 |
| BC 3 | 131 – 180 | 60 | 120 |
| BC 4 | 181 – 230 | 75 | 150 |
| BC 5 | 231 – 280 | 90 | 180 |
| BC 6 | 281 – 330 | 110 | 220 |
| BC 7 | 331+ | 130 | 260 |
Devil Square (Levels 1 through 5)
In Devil Square, Ruud is distributed based on the number of monsters eliminated by the character within the event's time limit. Players with higher damage output — especially Dark Wizards with AoE spells or Magic Gladiators with burst skills — naturally earn more Ruud per session.
| DS Level | Character Level | Average Ruud |
|---|---|---|
| DS 1 | 20 – 110 | 40 |
| DS 2 | 111 – 160 | 60 |
| DS 3 | 161 – 210 | 80 |
| DS 4 | 211 – 260 | 100 |
| DS 5 | 261+ | 120 |
Illusion Temple
Illusion Temple is a PvP-PvE capture-the-flag event. It requires a minimum level of 100 and is played in teams of 4 to 5 players. Ruud awarded depends on the match outcome (win or loss) and individual contribution. Victories can yield up to 200 Ruud per session.

Ruud Accumulation Strategies
For Beginner Players (Level 1 – 150)
In the early stages of a character, focus on lower-level events that consistently provide Ruud:
Recommended daily routine (beginner):
→ Blood Castle 1-3 (2 entries/day)
→ Devil Square 1-2 (2 entries/day)
→ Chaos Castle (4 entries/day)
→ Available character quests (First Quest, Second Quest)
For Intermediate Players (Level 151 – 300)
At this stage, Illusion Temple becomes accessible (level 100+) and represents a significant jump in Ruud earned per session:
Optimized routine (intermediate):
→ Blood Castle 4-5 (2 entries/day)
→ Devil Square 3-4 (2 entries/day)
→ Illusion Temple (3 entries/day) — requires organized party
→ Guild and daily quests
For Advanced Players (Level 301+)
With high-level characters, Imperial Guardian offers the best rewards. Party organization is essential to complete the event within the time limit:
Ideal party composition for Imperial Guardian:
→ 1x Blade Knight / Blade Master (main tank)
→ 1x High Elf (Triple Shot + defense and speed buffs)
→ 1x Grand Master (AoE spells for crowd control)
→ 1x Lord Emperor (CMD buff = stat boost for all party members)
→ 1x Duel Master or Dimension Master (secondary damage)
Event Efficiency Comparison
To maximize Ruud earned per hour of gameplay, consider each event's efficiency available in S6:
| Event | Ruud/Hour (estimated) | Difficulty | Party Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chaos Castle | 80 – 160 | Low | No | Up to 7 stages |
| Blood Castle | 120 – 260 | Low/Medium | Optional | 7 stages (BC1-7) |
| Devil Square | 80 – 240 | Medium | No | 5 stages (DS1-5) |
| Illusion Temple | 150 – 400 | Medium | Yes (4-5) | PvP + PvE |
| Imperial Guardian | 200 – 600 | High | Yes (5) | Best Ruud/hour |
| Crywolf Fortress | Variable | Very High | Yes (raid) | Special mechanic |
Ruud Storage Limit System
Each character in MU Online S6 has a maximum storable Ruud cap. This limit encourages regular use of the currency and prevents excessive accumulation:
| Level Range | Ruud Storage Cap |
|---|---|
| 1 – 100 | 5,000 |
| 101 – 200 | 10,000 |
| 201 – 300 | 20,000 |
| 301 – 400 | 35,000 |
| 401+ | 50,000 |
Integration with Other S6 Systems
Ruud does not exist in isolation — it integrates with fundamental systems in MU Online S6:
Level 3 Wings (Wing L3)
Wing L3 is crafted at the Chaos Goblin with the following recipe:
Wing L3 = Wing L2 + 3x Loch's Feather + 1x Jewel of Creation
→ Loch's Feather: exclusive drop from Balgass (only when Crywolf FAILS)
