MU Online Season 19 – 5th Class Change, 5th Wings & Ability Cards

Season 19 (2023–24) is the biggest progression jump in years. It added the 5th class change with the new Extra Damage system and the Giant mount, the 5th wings and their Wing Cores, the Ability Enhancement card system, two maps (Tormenta Island, Twisted Kalutan), Grow Lancer and Dark Lord renewals, the Verdant Earring, the 6th Guardian Leviathan, Apocalypse weapons, Ancient Lightning armor and artifact grade upgrades. Rebuilt page-by-page from the original patch notes.

The 5th Class Change

Unis — Devias 1 (193, 12)

Unlike the 3rd and 4th class changes, the 5th is a single generic progression for every class — there are no new class titles. Instead it unlocks the Extra Damage system, the Ability Enhancement Core, 200 stat points and the Giant mount. Story: after Kundun's chaos, new monsters appeared with unfamiliar power, and research produced a new force called Extra Damage. Unis — a Guardian Knight of the good god Lugard, elder sister of Sent of the 12 Priests of Light and a master of the great scythe — was sent to teach it, and waits in Devias.

Requirement	Detail
Level	1,200+
NPC	Unis — Devias 1 (193, 12)
Quest areas	Space of Qualification (prepare and party up, entered from Unis in Devias) then the Space of Trial (entered from Unis inside; if you're in a party, one member applying moves everyone in)

The chain is three fights against Unis, each with Burning Kethotum monsters spawning alongside her:

Quest	Clear condition	Reward
1st — Nuke	Take the Extra Nuke Damage buff and defeat Unis within 1 minute	Unlocks quest 2
2nd — Bolt	Take the Extra Bolt Damage buff and defeat Unis within 1 minute	Unlocks quest 3
3rd — Wide	Take the Extra Wide Damage buff and defeat Unis within 1 minute	5th class change + 200 stat points + the 5th tree + 3 Extra Ability Cards (Nuke, Bolt, Wide) + the Giant mount quest

Extra Damage

Extra Damage is a new damage type that fires when you use enhanced skills (4th class) and ability skills (5th class). It comes in three kinds, each with its own hit effect and damage-number colours — and you must mount the matching Extra Ability Card in the Ability Enhancement Core to use it:

Nuke	Bolt	Wide

Type	Targets	Damage
Nuke	1 target	High — single-target burst
Bolt	Up to 2 targets	Medium
Wide	Up to 10 targets	Low — wide AoE

Extra Damage Defense was added alongside it to reduce incoming Nuke/Bolt/Wide damage. Both values show in the character info window under Effects & Options.

The Giant Mount

The three Giant types — you receive one at random

Completing the 5th class change opens the exclusive Giant mount quest (level 1,200+):

Step	Task
Mount quest 1	Hand 300 Jewels of Creation to Unis
Mount quest 2	Defeat Unis while riding a Giant within 1 minute
Reward	A Giant mount — 1 random type of 3

Mount and dismount with the on-screen button or Ctrl+X. It grants a movement speed increase and cannot be ridden at the same time as other mounts (Muun, Guardian, Fenrir).

The 5th Wings

Every class received a 5th wing or cape — the strongest in the game, and the first to carry the new Damage Correction option:

Img	Wing / Cape	Class
	Wings of Virtue	Dark Wizard
	Wings of Destruction	Dark Knight
	Wings of Illusion	Elf
	Wings of Punishment	Magic Gladiator
	Cloak of Authority	Dark Lord
	Wings of Barrier	Summoner
	Cloak of Oath	Rage Fighter
	Cloak of Training	Grow Lancer
	Wings of Inevitability	Rune Mage
	Wings of Lilac	Slayer
	Wings of Crimson	Gun Crusher
	Cloak of Glory	White Wizard
	Wings of Eternity	Mage
	Cloak of Perfection	Illusion Knight

Option	At +0	At +15
Attack Power	300	2,051
Defense	900	2,737
Damage Increase	55%	70%
Damage Absorb	43% (Dark Lord 37%)	73% (Dark Lord 67%)
Damage Correction	1	16

Plus 2 random options from: full mana/life recovery chance 7%, reflect attack 7%, ignore defense 7%, excellent damage 7%, double damage 7%, attack speed +12, or +65 to Strength, Stamina, Energy or Agility. 5th wings have no Luck option.

Damage Correction is a new stat calculated against the target's own correction value — it affects both the damage you deal and the damage you take.

How to craft a 5th wing – full guide

Feather of Uriel	Lv.5 Wings Divine Object	Ultimate Magic Crystal

Crafting a 5th wing is a two-stage combine at the Chaos Goblin. Stage one is guaranteed; stage two is the gamble.

Stage	Main material	Required materials	Chance
1. Lv.5 Wings Divine Object	A 4th Wing at +13 or higher with 4+ options	Jewel of Bless ×100 · Jewel of Soul ×100 · Jewel of Creation ×100 · Jewel of Chaos ×100 · Golden Crest ×100 · Feather of Uriel ×100 · 15,000,000 zen	100%
2. Lv.5 Wing	Lv.5 Wings Divine Object	1 or more Ultimate Magic Crystal · 20,000,000 zen	24% (34% with a Lucky Talisman)

Step by step:

#	What to do
1	Take a 4th wing or cape and get it to +13 with at least 4 options — both conditions are required, and this wing is consumed.
2	Farm 100 Golden Crests and 100 Feathers of Uriel. Both drop at low rates in elite zones — this is the longest part of the process.
3	Stock 100 each of Bless, Soul, Creation and Chaos jewels plus 15,000,000 zen.
4	Combine at the Chaos Goblin for a guaranteed Lv.5 Wings Divine Object (100%).
5	Make Ultimate Magic Crystals: convert a mastery set item at +9 or higher with 16+ options — each one yields a fixed 3 crystals.
6	Combine the Divine Object with 1+ Ultimate Magic Crystal and 20,000,000 zen. Adding more crystals and a Lucky Talisman pushes the rate from 24% to 34%.
7	On success you get a +0 Lv.5 wing — but the class, options and Jewel of Life option are all random, so you may need several attempts to get your class.

Budget for failure. At 24–34% you should expect to burn roughly three to four Divine Objects per successful wing — and each one costs a +13 4th wing plus 100 Crests and 100 Feathers. Always use a Lucky Talisman, and remember 5th wings never roll a Luck option.

Wing Cores

Alt + right-click a Lv.5 wing in your inventory	Wing Core Blueprint	A Pure Wing Core

A Wing Core slots into a Lv.5 wing for a second layer of stats. It has a base option that scales with enhancement, plus 0–2 random options.

Crafting a Wing Core

Result	Main material	Required materials	Chance
Pure Wing Core (Type 1) (random type and options)	Pure Wing Core (Type 1) Blueprint — Ruud shop, 50,000 Ruud	Bless ×100 · Soul ×100 · Creation ×100 · Chaos ×100 · Feather of Uriel ×50 · 20,000,000 zen	70%

Option type	At +0	At +15
Base	Wing Attack / Wizardry / Curse +50	Wing Attack / Wizardry / Curse +273

Upgrading a Wing Core

Wing Core Upgrade Stone — 1,200 Ruud	Wing Cores upgrade to +15 through Equipment Upgrade Combination at the Chaos Goblin in Noria. A Wing Core is never destroyed on failure. Failing at +1–+7 drops it one level; failing at +8–+15 resets it to +0.

Upgrade	Upgrade Stones	Zen	Chance
+0 → +1	1	1,000,000	90%
+1 → +2	2	1,500,000	90%
+2 → +3	2	2,000,000	90%

+13 → +14	5	7,500,000	65%
+14 → +15	5	8,000,000	65%

Fitting a Wing Core

Step	How
Open the UI	Alt + right-click a Lv.5 wing in your inventory to open the "Lv.5 Wings (Cape)" screen
Equip	Drag and drop the Wing Core from your inventory into the core slot
Unequip	Right-click the core in the UI, or drag it back to your inventory
Limitation	Only works on wings in the inventory — you cannot fit or remove a core on an equipped wing

Each core fits a specific group of wings. For example the Pure Wings of Virtue Core fits Wings of Virtue, Cloak of Glory, Wings of Eternity and Cloak of Perfection; the Pure Wings of Crimson Core fits Wings of Destruction, Wings of Punishment, Cloak of Oath and Wings of Crimson.

Ability Enhancement – full guide

The Ability Enhancement Core	Slots open as you level

After the 5th class change you unlock the Ability Enhancement Core — open it with Ctrl + J, or from the button at the top of the character info window (3rd class opens the Master Skill Tree, 4th the Skill Enhancement Tree, 5th the Ability Enhancement Core).

Step 1 – farm the materials

Ability Crystal	Drops from monsters in Burning Kethotum-grade maps and above — Burning Kethotum, Kanturu Underground, Ignis Volcano, Bloody Tarkan and Tormenta Island. Daily cap per character: 1 Ability Crystal + 4 bound Ability Crystals. This cap is the real bottleneck of the whole system, so log in daily.
Ability Enhancement Stone	Crafted from Ability Crystals, or gained by refunding duplicate cards. Required to level cards up.

Step 2 – craft your cards

All cards are crafted at the Chaos Goblin in Noria (180, 103), and every recipe is 100% success — the cost is purely materials:

Card	Crystals	Jewels	Zen	What you choose
[Skill] Card	50	10 Bless	100,000,000	Result is a skill your class can use
[Option] Card	5	1 Bless	10,000,000	You pick type 1–5; the colour is random
[Elite] Card	25 (or 5 Enhancement Stones)	5 Bless	50,000,000	You pick the colour

Step 3 – understand the four slot types

Slot	When it opens	Rules
[Extra]	On completing the 5th class change	Holds a Nuke, Bolt or Wide card from the class quest. Without one of these equipped, Extra Damage does not fire at all — equip this first.
[Skill]	Lv 1,200 → 1 slot Lv 1,300 → 2 slots Lv 1,400 → 3 slots	You can only mount a card whose skill you have enhanced in the Skill Enhancement Tree. The same card can go in all 3 slots, but duplicates only stack Skill Attack Power — the extra effects and sub-options do not stack.
[Option]	5 slots at 5th class, then +5 every 50 levels (blue 1200/1250, green 1300/1350, purple 1400/1450)	Cards come in types 1–5 and three colours; each goes into a matching open slot in any order. They boost your stats whether or not you have [Skill] cards mounted.
[Elite]	Opens once all 5 preceding [Option] slots are filled	The card level you may mount equals the lowest level among those 5 [Option] cards — so level your Option cards evenly.

Step 4 – level up and refund

Levelling a card	Refunding duplicates	The Ability Card Book

Open the Ability Card Book and right-click any card you own:

Action	How it works
Level-up	Duplicates raise the card's held count — spend those duplicates plus Ability Enhancement Stones to level it. Max level 5 for every card type.
Refund	Convert duplicates into Enhancement Stones: [Skill] = 10 stones, [Elite] = 5, [Option] = 1. The original copy of a card can never be refunded.

Option and Elite card values

Type	What it rolls
Type 1	Strength, fire elemental attack/defense, elemental attack, critical & double damage, minimum attack/magic/curse, Nuke/Bolt/Wide attack, Extra Defense
Type 2	Agility, water elemental attack/defense, elemental attack success rate, attack success rate, 5th wing attack/magic/curse, per-slot skill attack, Nuke/Bolt/Wide critical chance
Type 3	Stamina, earth elemental attack/defense, pentagram attack, excellent damage, attack/magic/curse per 20 levels, maximum attack/magic/curse, skill attack, Extra Defense
Type 4	Energy, wind elemental attack/defense, elemental defense & success rates, 5th wing defense, pentagram defense, defense, shield defense, Nuke/Bolt/Wide critical chance
Type 5	Shock defense rate, dark elemental attack/defense, poison & bleed damage, mastery attack/magic/curse, Nuke/Bolt/Wide attack, Extra Defense
[Elite] Blue	Full-life recovery chance, slot-1 skill attack, critical & double damage chance, Extra Defense, Nuke/Bolt/Wide excellent chance
[Elite] Green	AG recovery, slot-2 skill attack, excellent damage chance, ignore enemy defense chance, Extra Defense, Nuke/Bolt/Wide double-damage chance
[Elite] Purple	Full-mana recovery chance, slot-3 skill attack, additional damage chance, triple damage chance, Extra Defense, Nuke/Bolt/Wide triple-damage chance

The [Skill] cards by class

Each class has its own set. The prefix tells you the bonus: Barrage adds range, Gale adds attack speed, Wrath adds splash damage. Every skill card also randomly rolls one sub-option — HP, MP or AG increase.

Class	Skill card	Bonus
Dark Wizard	Gale Meteor Storm	Attack speed
Dark Knight	Barrage Sword Blow · Gale Strike of Destruction	Range · Attack speed
Elf	Barrage Raining Arrow · Gale Holy Bolt	Range · Attack speed
Magic Gladiator	Barrage Chaos Blade · Wrath Havoc Spear	Range · Splash
Dark Lord	Barrage Wind Soul	Range
Summoner	Barrage Fire Beast · Wrath Death Scythe	Range · Splash
Rage Fighter	Barrage Dark Side · Barrage Spirit Hook	Range
Grow Lancer	Barrage Over Sting · Gale Wild Brandish	Range · Attack speed
Rune Mage	Gale Lightning Storm	Attack speed
Slayer	Barrage Pierce Attack	Range
Gun Crusher	Gale Bursting Flare	Attack speed
White Wizard	Barrage Spear Storm	Range
Mage	Barrage Ultimate Force	Range
Illusion Knight	Barrage Blade Storm	Range

An ability skill only works when the card is equipped and the matching enhanced skill is enhanced in the Skill Enhancement Tree.

Recommended order: equip an [Extra] card first so Extra Damage works at all, then fill [Option] slots (cheapest at 5 crystals each and they always help), keep those five even in level to unlock [Elite], and save for a [Skill] card last — at 50 crystals it is by far the most expensive.

Skill Card Conversion

Right-click a skill card to convert	Converting one build's card into another

Classes with more than one build can convert a [Skill] card into another build's card instead of farming it from scratch. Right-click the card in the Ability Card Book to open the conversion window.

Rule	Detail
Cost	1 Ability Crystal + 1,000,000 zen per card converted. Bound crystals are spent first, with normal crystals covering the rest.
What carries over	The resource sub-option (HP / MP / AG) never changes. Skill attack power and the skill effect become those of the new card.
Quantity	Every card you spent levelling the source card, plus its stack, carries across. If you don't own the target card you get a level-0 copy plus the remainder as stack; if you already own it, the whole total is added as stack.
Who can use it	Dark Knight, Elf, Magic Gladiator, Dark Lord, Summoner, Rage Fighter and Grow Lancer — the classes with divergent build paths.

Click an empty slot to list the cards you can equip	The card book's list view

Two quality-of-life additions came with it: clicking an empty core slot now lists every card you own that fits it (hover for the tooltip, click to equip), and the Ability Card Book gained a [View as List] toggle alongside the codex view.

Tormenta Island

Lore: long before Elbeland existed, Lemuria's attack destroyed Elve. The survivors fled to a huge island floating above Tormenta, drawing on its enormous energy and shielding themselves with the Veil of Iruha. Unable to break the Veil, Lemuria seized Tormenta itself — the energy source — and sealed the island, while the Elveians fell into a shamanic sleep. Centuries later the seal weakened, they woke, and became present-day Elbeland. When the seal finally broke, Tormenta's once-unapproachable energy had faded — but Lemuria's surviving minions had fused with it, becoming elemental spirit monsters and the island's new masters.

Map	Entry	Enter Lv	Penalty Lv
Tormenta Island	Move command (50,000 zen) or walk in from Elbeland 3 (182,195)	1,400	1,450

Storm Guard	Storm Reaper	Storm Fiend

Monster	Level	Behaviour
Storm Guard	850	Melee — swings a giant hammer in a wide arc
Storm Reaper	850	Melee — swings swords in both hands rapidly
Storm Fiend	850	Ranged AoE — lightning in both hands

It drops Excellent Lightning armor, Apocalypse and Chaos-combine charm pieces, and is the top source of Ability Crystals. Tormenta monsters also apply a 9.5% extra Shock chance. Its elite zone holds level-860 elites — Fire (148,233), Water (25,198), Earth (188,11), Wind (242,158), Dark (55,15) — and the elite Storm Fiend drains 300 mana and 15 AG per hit.

Twisted Kalutan

Lore: Kalutan, ringed by high mountains in the east, was barren and closed off, its northwest held by the beast-infested Grey Tower. When nomads and newly-landed outsiders joined forces to subdue it, the fighting cracked Kardamahal's magic circle — the seal holding powerful beasts beneath Kalutan. It shattered with a huge explosion, the beasts surged to the surface, and the land itself twisted into a new landscape. Kardamahal's beasts now roam "Twisted Kalutan" and attack anyone who enters.

Map	Entry	Enter Lv	Penalty Lv
Twisted Kalutan	Move command (50,000 zen) or walk in from Kalutan 2 (76,65)	1,450	1,500

Twisted Crypta	Twisted Gollock	Twisted Condra

Monster	Level	Behaviour
Twisted Crypta	900	Melee attacker
Twisted Gollock	900	Melee attacker
Twisted Condra	900	Wide AoE attacker

It drops Excellent Lightning armor and Excellent Socket Necklaces, and its monsters add elemental critical damage resistance on top of the usual resistances. The elite zone holds level-910 elites — Fire (226,54), Water (224,197), Earth (122,23), Wind (25,116), Dark (88,231) — with the elite Condra draining 350 mana and 20 AG per hit.

Grow Lancer Renewal

Over Sting	Wild Brandish

The Grow Lancer gained the Combat Power (%) stat (from stat points, weapons and buffs) plus two new skills, both from NPC James, both hitting up to 6 targets in a 6-tile radius for 3 damage each:

Skill	Requirement	Effect
Over Sting	AGI 1,470 · Magic Pin Mastery 10P	A blindingly fast thrust leaving afterimages — fewer targets hit means higher damage each. Tree debuffs: Freeze / Bleed
Wild Brandish	STR 1,020 · Brandish Mastery 10P	Swings the lance to damage a wide area. Tree debuffs: Poison / Bleed

Reworked alongside them: Shining Peak (STR 600, much higher tree damage, now applies Freeze/Bleed), Brandish (6 targets, 4-tile radius, cooldown removed), Rage (now grants Combat Power +10% at −5% defense) and Obsidian (much longer duration). A full ladder of Lancer Shields was added from Blood Angel (Lv400) to Brilliant (Lv1,300).

Dark Lord Renewal

Fire & Ice Divine Spirit	Divine Horse

The Dark Lord got the deepest rework of the season — Combat Power (%), a max attack speed of 290, and hugely buffed capes (Cape of Lord absorb 10% → 25%, Emperor 24% → 39%, Dominator and Leadership 37% → 43%).

New pet	How to make it	What it does
Divine Spirit	Dark Spirit Lv70 + 30 each Bless/Soul/Creation + 1 Chaos + 100,000,000 zen → 45% Fire / 5% Ice	Auto-attacks in an area while equipped; max Lv50, spirit damage up to 100,000 at 200 attack speed. Skill Divine Force boosts party attack for 3s
Divine Horse	Dark Horse Lv70 + the same jewels + 100,000,000 zen → 50%	Adds defense and Earthshake range +2; max defense 1,500 and elemental defense 500. Skill Divine Aura boosts party defense for 3s

New skill	Requirement	Effect
Spirit Blast	STR 800 / CMD 620 · Fire Burst Strengthen 10P · Divine Spirit equipped	Summons the equipped spirit to strike a ground target — up to 8 targets, 6-tile radius, 2 hits each. The effect changes with the spirit type
Battle Glory	STR 200 / CMD 200	Self buff — attack power and Combat Power (%)
Crown Force	Lv 220 · ENE 300 / CMD 400	Party buff — raises all stats for the whole party
Lord Dignity	ENE 102 / CMD 300	Replaces Critical Damage Increase — raises party critical and excellent damage rate

Core skills were rebalanced hard: Force Wave 50 → 70, Fire Burst 100 → 150, Fire Scream 130 → 180, Chaotic Diseier 190 → 220, Wind Soul 85 → 130, and Electric Spike's cooldown cut from 5s to 0.5s. A full Lord Shield ladder was added, up to the Apocalypse Lord Shield at Lv1,400.

7th Mastery Earring – Verdant Earring

Verdant Earring (Right) — Lv 1,000	Verdant Earring (Left) — Lv 950

The Verdant Earring is the 7th mastery earring, following Wrath → Ancestor → Honor → Blood → Enchantment → Bond. Wearing the matching left and right pair of the same tier activates the set bonus.

Earring	Req level	ATK / Magic / Curse	Elemental defense
Verdant Earring (Right)	1,000	436 – 439	424
Verdant Earring (Left)	950	396 – 399	366

Side	Random options (1–3, values scale with enhancement)
Right	Max Mana +1,000 · Excellent damage rate +10% · Critical damage rate +10% · AG auto-recovery +10 · Attack speed +7
Left	Max HP +1,000 · Skill attack power +29 · Mastery attack/magic power +127 · Mastery excellent damage +215 · Mastery critical damage +215

Set bonus (both equipped)
Ignore enemy defense 7% · All stats +10 · Mastery damage +90

How to craft it – A to Z

Verdant Cutting Mold — 25,000 Ruud	The Verdant Earring is not dropped — it is upgraded from the previous tier. Base: a Bond Earring (6th mastery) at +11 to +15. Material: Verdant Cutting Mold — from Priest James, Elbeland (32, 239) for 25,000 Ruud. Jewels: Bless ×20, Soul ×20, Chaos ×1, Creation ×1. Where: the Chaos Goblin combine NPC.

#	Step
1	Get a Bond Earring and enhance it to at least +11 — the higher you go, the better your odds, and +15 is a guaranteed success.
2	Buy a Verdant Cutting Mold from Priest James in Elbeland (32, 239) for 25,000 Ruud.
3	Gather 20 Jewels of Bless, 20 Jewels of Soul, 1 Chaos and 1 Creation.
4	Combine at the Chaos Goblin. Left upgrades into left, right into right — they are not interchangeable.
5	On success you receive a +0 Verdant Earring with randomly re-rolled options (1–3; an earring that had 3 options keeps at least 2).
6	Enhance the new earring up to +15 at the Chaos Goblin using Cutting Stones — the mastery option values rise with each level.
7	Repeat for the other side, then wear both for the set bonus.

Bond Earring level	+11	+12	+13	+14	+15
Success rate	60%	70%	80%	90%	100%

On failure the Cutting Mold and all jewels are consumed and your Bond Earring drops to +0 — it is not destroyed, but you lose all the enhancement work. Because +15 is a guaranteed 100%, taking the base earring to +15 first is almost always cheaper than gambling at +11.

6th Guardian – Leviathan

Leviathan — Lv 1,300	Leviathan (Rare) — Lv 1,300

The Leviathan is the 6th Guardian — an inventory-equipped mount at level 1,300. A Rare version exists with identical stats but a different colour, obtainable at a low chance from the same combine.

How to craft it – step by step

Leviathan's Seal — 50,000 Ruud	Base: a 5th Guardian (Ur or Ur Rare) at +11 or higher. Material: Leviathan's Seal — Priest James, Elbeland (32, 239), 50,000 Ruud. Jewels: Bless ×20, Soul ×20, Chaos ×1, Creation ×1. Where: the Tamer NPC in Lorencia (122, 110).

#	Step
1	Enhance your 5th Guardian (Ur) to at least +11. Enhancing past +11 uses Elite Guardian Enhancement Stones, which drop in elite zones.
2	Buy a Leviathan's Seal from Priest James in Elbeland for 50,000 Ruud.
3	Gather 20 Bless, 20 Soul, 1 Chaos and 1 Creation.
4	Combine at the Lorencia Tamer (122, 110). The higher your base Guardian's level, the better the odds — +15 is guaranteed.
5	On success you get a +0 Leviathan, with a low chance of the Rare version instead.

5th Guardian level	+11	+12	+13	+14	+15
Success rate	60%	70%	80%	90%	100%

On failure the Seal and jewels are consumed and the base Guardian drops to +0. On success its general options and elite-resist option are randomly re-rolled — a Guardian with 3 general options keeps at least 2, and the elite-resist option is always re-rolled, so a good roll can be lost. Guardians can also be disassembled back into Guardian Enhancement Stones.

Options	Values
Base (always)	Movement Speed increase · Attack Speed +7 · Defense +352
General (1–3, scale with enhancement)	Elemental Attack +305 · Elemental Defense +305 · Defense +6.0 per 20 levels (to Lv 1,100) · Attack/Magic/Curse +6.0 per 20 levels (to Lv 1,100)
Elite resistance (exactly 1 of 5)	Fire: bleed + attack-reduction resist · Water: poison + attack-reduction · Earth: bleed + attack-speed-reduction · Wind: poison + defense-reduction · Dark: bleed + defense-reduction

Apocalypse Weapons & Ancient Lightning Armor

The Apocalypse weapons are the 9th mastery tier — one for every class and sub-weapon, all requiring level 1,400. Every one shares the same Excellent option block:

Shared Excellent options	Weapons	Shields
On every Apocalypse item	Excellent damage rate +10% · Attack (magic) speed +7 · (Life/8) on kill · (Mana/8) on kill · Attack/Magic +3 per 20 levels · +85 attack, magic or curse power	Base defense +3 per 20 levels · Reflect damage 5% · Defense success rate +10% · Max HP +330 · Max Mana +330 · Damage decrease 90

How to craft Apocalypse gear

Apocalypse Anvil	Soul of Lightning

Both upgrades run at the Chaos Goblin and are guaranteed at 100% — there is no failure risk, so the only cost is materials. Your item keeps its type, Luck option and Excellent options (armor keeps class, slot, Luck and All-Stats), but resets to +0 with 0 options, so enhance and re-socket afterwards.

Step	Base item	Special material	Jewels	Result
9th weapon	+11 Brilliant weapon or shield with 16+ options	Apocalypse Anvil — Elbeland NPC James, 100,000 Ruud	Bless ×30, Soul ×30, Chaos ×1, Creation ×1	+0 Apocalypse weapon (Lv 1,400)
10th armor	+11 Apocalypse armor with 16+ options	Soul of Lightning — Elbeland NPC James, 50,000 Ruud	Bless ×30, Soul ×30, Chaos ×1, Creation ×1	+0 Ancient Lightning armor (Lv 1,500)

Step by step:

#	What to do
1	Take a Brilliant weapon (the 8th mastery tier from Season 18) and enhance it to +11 or higher with 16 or more options — both conditions are required.
2	Buy an Apocalypse Anvil from Priest James in Elbeland for 100,000 Ruud.
3	Gather 30 Jewels of Bless, 30 Jewels of Soul, 1 Chaos and 1 Creation.
4	Combine at the Chaos Goblin — 100% success. You receive a +0 Apocalypse weapon keeping its Luck and Excellent options.
5	Repeat the same loop with your Apocalypse armor and a Soul of Lightning (50,000 Ruud) to reach the Ancient Lightning 10th mastery set.

The Ancient Lightning set (level 1,500) is the top armor in Season 19. Its 4-set grants mastery critical and excellent damage, ignore enemy defense +9%, critical and excellent rate +20%, triple damage +14%, mastery max HP, damage decrease and mastery enhanced-skill damage. Most classes get five pieces — the Magic Gladiator has no helm and the Rage Fighter no gloves.

Artifact Grade Upgrades

The grade shows in brackets	Grade colours 1–10	The new holdings panel

Artifacts gained grades 1–10. The grade is the initial option value rolled when the artifact was created, displayed in brackets next to the option — so a grade-8 artifact simply starts from a much higher number than a grade-1 one. Attack-speed options only go up to grade 5.

How to upgrade a grade

Chaos Goblin → Equipment Enhance/Craft	The upgrade window

#	Step
1	Get two artifacts of the same type, the same option and the same grade — all three must match.
2	Go to the Chaos Goblin in Noria and open [Equipment Enhance/Craft] → Artifact Grade Upgrade.
3	Right-click your main artifact — the sub artifact and the required Enhancement Stones are registered automatically by inventory order.
4	Confirm. The main artifact's grade rises by 1 and it keeps its enhancement level — a +9 grade-1 main combined with a +1 grade-1 sub gives a +9 grade-2 artifact.

Grade	Enhancement Stones	Zen	Chance
1 → 2	20	10,000,000	90%
2 → 3	25	10,000,000	85%
3 → 4	30	10,000,000	80%
4 → 5	35	10,000,000	75%
5 → 6	40	10,000,000	70%
6 → 7	45	10,000,000	65%
7 → 8	50	10,000,000	60%
8 → 9	55	10,000,000	40%

Important limits
On failure only the sub artifact is destroyed — your main artifact survives untouched, so you never lose enhancement work.
Grade 9 cannot be upgraded to grade 10 (added June 2024).
Grade upgrading is only available during artifact sale / artifact combine event periods.
The Spider Artifact type-4 attack-speed option cannot be grade-upgraded at all.

Alongside this, the base artifact creation rate dropped from 80% to 70% (fragment + 50 Jewels of Creation + 10,000,000 zen), the Barca reward was re-tuned to give more Enhancement Stones, high grades now show colour-coded in the inventory, and a new artifact holdings panel lists everything you own.

Event Map & Boss Entry – the unified UI

Opening the new UI	Event Map tab	Boss Battle tab

Season 19 replaced the scattered event entry NPCs and windows with a single unified UI covering Event Maps, Boss Battles and the Competition systems (Castle Siege, Arca War). Open it from the main button set or the event-map entry icon, pick a tab, choose the content on the left, and enter directly from the panel.

Event map entry by grade

Every event map now has graded entry levels, with monster balance scaled to the grade you enter:

Grade	Chaos Castle / Blood Castle / Devil Square / Doppelganger	Illusion Temple
1	50 – 399	180 – 399
2	400 – 799	400 – 799
3	800 – 899	800 – 1,299
4	900 – 1,099	1,300 – 1,499
5	1,100 – 1,299	1,500 +
6	1,300 – 1,499	—
7	1,500 +	—

The new Illusion Temple ticket

Illusion Temple now uses the Scroll of Blood — grades 1–5 require Scroll of Blood +1 to +5 respectively. Each is combined at 70%:

Result	Materials	Zen
Scroll of Blood +1	Old Scroll +1 · Illusion Sorcerer's Covenant +1 · Jewel of Chaos	3,000,000
Scroll of Blood +2	Old Scroll +2 · Covenant +2 · Jewel of Chaos	5,000,000
Scroll of Blood +3	Old Scroll +3 · Covenant +3 · Jewel of Chaos	7,000,000
Scroll of Blood +4	Old Scroll +4 · Covenant +4 · Jewel of Chaos	9,000,000
Scroll of Blood +5	Old Scroll +5 · Covenant +5 · Jewel of Chaos	11,000,000

Boss battle changes

Change	Detail
Respawn timer	Now a random 18–24 hours after being killed for Phantom of Kundun, Medusa, Selupan, Lord Silvester, Core Magriffy, Ferea Lord, Nix and the God of Darkness.
Auto-exit	Staying more than 5 minutes after a boss dies teleports you to the map's start point — no more camping the spawn.
Nix ticket	"Spirit Nixie's Fragment" now drops by chance from Selupan in Raklion.

Skill Enhancement Tree – 4th stat option rework

Spending 4th-stat points used to mean a tedious loop: pick an option, add 8 stat points, confirm, repeat. Now you enhance in multiples of 8 in a single action, spending 1 skill-tree point per 8 stat points. Spending 3 tree points is one confirm for 24 stat points instead of three separate cycles.

Improvement	Detail
Bulk enhancement	The UI shows your usable stat points, the total accumulated versus the maximum allowed for that option's activation stage, and only enables Confirm on a multiple of 8.
Mouse controls	Left click = ±1 point, right click = ±8 points.
Dark Lord	Command was added as a variable 4th stat in the skill enhancement tree.

Note that Skill Enhancement Tree points can no longer be gained above character level 1,600 — the 5th-class Ability Core takes over from there.

Max Level & Reward Muuns

Max level rose 1,550 → 1,600 → 1,650 across the two parts, each with a Season Level Reward box (Gremory Case, 30-day claim, 14-day box life) granting a Muun with ×20 base ability for 30 days:

Grow Lancer Muun	Dark Lord Muun

Muun	From	Base ability
Grow Lancer	Reach Lv 1,550 (max-level 1,600 patch)	Skill Attack Power +15
Dark Lord	Reach Lv 1,600 (max-level 1,650 patch)	Elemental Defense +10

Season 19 also re-tuned every high-level hunting ground around the 5th class change — for example Burning Kethotum moved from entry 1,160 to 1,200, Ignis Volcano to 1,300, Bloody Tarkan to 1,350 and Tormenta Island to 1,400 — and unified the event-map and boss-battle entry into a single UI with graded entry levels.

FAQ

Where can I play Season 19?
Browse the Season 19 private servers listed — the 5th class change and Ability Cards carry into every later version.

Is the 5th class change hard?
The gate is level 1,200 and gear, not difficulty — each of the three trials is a one-minute duel with Unis while the buff is active. Bring enough damage to burst her down inside the timer.

Are 5th wings worth the cost?
They're the biggest single power jump available — over 2,000 attack and defense and 70% damage increase at +15 — but the final combine is only 24% (34% with a Lucky Talisman), so budget several Relics.

What should I do first at 5th class?
Equip an Extra Ability Card so Extra Damage actually fires, then farm Ability Crystals in Tormenta Island for [Option] cards — they fill the most slots and give the steadiest stat gain while you save for [Skill] cards.
