MU Online Rings & Pendants Guide – All Accessories

Accessories are the quiet third of your equipment: two ring slots and one pendant slot that provide elemental resistances and — on excellent versions — some of the strongest utility options in the game. This guide lists every classic ring and pendant, explains how resistance actually works, and covers which excellent options to hunt at each stage.

How Accessories Work

Mechanic	Details
Slots	2 rings + 1 pendant, all classes
Resistance	Chance to resist that element's effect: ice slow, poison drain, lightning stagger. Stacks with the same resistance from other gear
Upgrades	+0 to +15 with jewels like any item; resistance grows per level. No Luck or Skill option possible
Excellent versions	Drop from higher monsters and boxes with up to 2 (classic) excellent options — the real value of accessories
Transformation rings	A separate novelty family (Jack O'Lantern, Christmas, Panda rings) that changes appearance and adds small bonuses — event items

All Rings

	Ring	Resistance	Req. level	Notes
	Ring of Ice	Ice +20 (+ per level)	20	Counters ice slows; classic PvP staple
	Ring of Poison	Poison +20	17	Counters poison DoT (Atlans, Summoners)
	Ring of Fire	Fire +30	300	High-level elemental ring
	Ring of Earth	Earth +30	300	High-level elemental ring
	Ring of Wind	Wind +30	300	High-level elemental ring
	Ring of Magic	Magic +20; +Mana bonus	300	Caster-oriented ring

All Pendants

	Pendant	Resistance	Req. level	Notes
	Pendant of Lightning	Lightning +20	17	The classic caster pendant; excellent versions roll wizardry options
	Pendant of Fire	Fire +30	13	The classic melee pendant; excellent versions roll damage options
	Pendant of Ice	Ice +30	300	High-level pendant
	Pendant of Wind	Wind +30	300	High-level pendant
	Pendant of Water	Water +30	300	High-level pendant
	Pendant of Ability	AG +50-style utility	300	Boosts ability gauge economy for skill spam

Requirement levels vary by server version — the classic pair everyone remembers is Ring of Ice + Pendant of Lightning, wearable before level 20.

Excellent Accessory Options

Item	Possible excellent options
Excellent rings	HP +4% recovery, Mana +4% recovery, Damage Decrease +4%, Reflect Damage +5%, Defense Success Rate +10%, Zen +40%
Excellent pendants	ATK/WIZ Speed +7, Excellent DMG Rate +10%, Life-after-monster +HP/8, Mana-after-monster +mana/8, DMG +2%, Zen +40%

The classics: a pair of DD +4% rings (8% total damage decrease) is a budget PvP defense that stays relevant for hundreds of levels, and an attack speed pendant is the cheapest speed breakpoint boost most builds can buy.

What to Wear at Each Stage

Levels 1–150: Ring of Ice + Ring of Poison + Pendant of Fire or Lightning — the resistances matter at low levels and the items cost nothing. Mid game: swap into excellent accessories as they drop; prioritize DD% rings and a speed pendant over resistance. End game: accessories give way to the dedicated systems — earrings carry the accessory load from level 300+, while socket and mastery accessories replace classic rings on newer seasons. The DD% ring pair remains a PvP pocket item forever.

FAQ

Do resistances work in PvP?
Yes — that is their main use. Ice resistance against Soul Master slows and lightning resistance against Energy Elves were the classic counters.

Can accessories have Luck?
No. Rings and pendants never roll Luck or Skill — only their resistance, level and excellent options matter.

Are two of the same ring worth it?
Resistance from two identical rings stacks on classic settings, but suffers diminishing perception — most players prefer two different utilities (e.g. one DD ring + one HP recovery ring).

What replaces accessories at end game?
Earrings (level 300+), then socket/mastery accessories on modern seasons. Classic excellent rings stay useful as swap items.
