Webzen has released Season 20 Part 1 for MU Online, adding a new playable class called the Alchemist. This class is based on traditional alchemy themes and uses a wand and elixir to execute skills that offer both offensive and supportive functions. Some of the skills include summoning homunculi for area damage, transforming rocks into explosive attacks, and calling additional monsters to support party grinding. The Alchemist provides an alternative to the game’s more conventional melee and magic-based combat roles.
Alongside the new class, a limited-time Speed Server has been introduced to assist with rapid progression. Players leveling on this server can earn 100 Ruud per level between 401 and 800, and receive a one-time server-transfer ticket per account. Additional rewards are available at levels 500, 650, 750, and 800, including Bloodangel gear, high-tier wings, cosmetic items, and bundled Ruud. This setup is intended to provide an incentive for players to try the new class and transition back to the standard servers once they reach specific milestones.
Several events have also been launched as part of the update. These include the Playtime Attack event scheduled for weekends in early August, and the Level-Up Ranking competition which rewards high-ranking players with Ruud and Bloodangel Soul items. Optional in-game shop bundles are available for those who want to enhance their leveling experience. MU Online, first launched in 2001, continues to operate through seasonal updates and maintains a user base in regions such as Latin America and Eastern Europe, in addition to its private server community.
