Ancient Set Eplate (Energy Plate): Stats, Bonuses and How to Obtain
Complete guide to the Ancient Eplate Set for Dark Wizard: detailed stats, set bonuses, drop locations and how to build the most ENE-focused DW set in MU Online S6.
What Is the Ancient Eplate Set
The Ancient Eplate Set (based on the Energy Plate armor) is one of the ancient sets exclusive to the Dark Wizard (DW) class and its evolutions — Soul Master and Grand Master — in MU Online S6. Unlike the other DW ancient sets, such as the Sebone (Bone) and Heras (Ashcrow), the Eplate is specifically built to maximize the ENE (Energy) stat, which directly translates into higher magical damage, better skill success rates, and increased maximum mana.
This set is considered one of the top choices for a DW with a pure offensive build, particularly on servers where magical skill damage scales heavily with ENE.
Set Pieces and Base Requirements
The Energy Plate Set consists of 5 main pieces:
| Piece | Full Name | Level Req. | ENE Req. | Base Defense |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Energy Plate Helm | 96 | 150 | 52 |
| Armor | Energy Plate Armor | 96 | 150 | 62 |
| Pants | Energy Plate Pants | 96 | 150 | 47 |
| Gloves | Energy Plate Gloves | 96 | 150 | 28 |
| Boots | Energy Plate Boots | 96 | 150 | 32 |
Ancient Version: Individual and Set Bonuses
The ancient (Ancient) versions of the Energy Plate receive the Eplate prefix and have special fixed options called Ancient Options, plus set bonuses when multiple pieces are equipped.
Ancient Options Per Piece
| Piece | Primary Ancient Option | Secondary Ancient Option |
|---|---|---|
| Eplate Helm | +30 ENE | — |
| Eplate Armor | +30 ENE | +20 HP |
| Eplate Pants | +20 ENE | — |
| Eplate Gloves | +15 ENE | +10 MANA |
| Eplate Boots | +20 ENE | — |
Set Bonuses
The Eplate set bonuses are activated progressively as more pieces are equipped:
| Pieces Equipped | Active Bonus |
|---|---|
| 2 pieces | +50 additional ENE |
| 3 pieces | +50 additional ENE (total +100 ENE) |
| 4 pieces | +50 ENE + +10% Magical Damage |
| 5 pieces (full set) | +50 ENE + +15% Magical Damage (total +200 ENE, +15% damage) |
Comparison with Other DW Ancient Sets
In S6, the Dark Wizard has access to three distinct ancient sets. Here is how the Eplate compares:
| Ancient Set | Base Armor | Primary Focus | Total ENE (5 pieces) | Total Defense (base) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eplate | Energy Plate | ENE / Magical Damage | +200 ENE (set bonus) + ~115 ENE (piece options) | ~221 |
| Sebone | Bone | DEF/ENE Balance | ~60 ENE (piece options) | ~260 |
| Heras | Ashcrow | DEF / Resistance | ~30 ENE (piece options) | ~310 |
ENE Impact on DW Magical Damage
In MU Online S6, the damage of DW magical skills follows the general formula:
Magic Damage = (ENE / 9) + Level Bonus + Skill BonusEach point of ENE adds approximately 1/9 of base magic damage. With the full Eplate Set providing up to +315 total ENE (piece options + set bonuses), this represents approximately +35 base magic damage from the set alone.
Adding the +15% magical damage bonus from the complete set, a Grand Master DW with high ENE (1,000+) and a full Eplate can surpass defense-oriented builds in pure DPS by up to 20-30% on skills such as Ice Storm, Lightning Shock, and Inferno.
Benefited Skills
| Skill | Type | Scales with ENE? |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Storm | AoE / Magic | Yes (strong) |
| Lightning Shock | Single-target / Magic | Yes (strong) |
| Inferno | AoE / Magic | Yes (moderate) |
| Decay | AoE / Magic | Yes (moderate) |
| Nova | AoE / Magic | Yes (very strong) |

The Ancient Eplate Set is the definitive choice for Dark Wizards who prioritize maximum magical damage in MU Online S6.
