The availability of different types of [[item]]s on MU is considered the most interesting feature of the game. Besides the normal item variety, items may contain special bonuses that are assigned almost randomly. Creating a 'perfect' item within the game is almost impossible. Since items can be so different, it's quite common to have your own custom armor. | The availability of different types of [[item]]s on MU is considered the most interesting feature of the game.

;Item Bonuses | ;Item Bonuses | ||
Items may randomly have [[bonus]]es attached to them. They are commonly known as options throughout the game. These bonuses make the item stronger. These bonuses, similarly to an item's level, can be increased using a Jewel of Life. The levels range in increments of 4 (ex. +4,+8, +12, +16, and 28) on armor and swords, and increments of (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30) on shields. The maximum bonus on an armor or weapon piece is +16 (on regular MU ONLINE) or +28 (on private servers), or +20 (on regular MU ONLINE) or +28 (on private servers) defense rate on a shield. | Items may randomly have [[bonus]]es attached to them.

Most importantly in combat a +luck gives the opportunity of 5% critical damage for each +luck item the character is currently wearing. | ||
'''Excellent Items''' - Very special and rare items that can give an extra and powerful boost to your items. An excellent item will glow the colors of a [[rainbow]], and its text will appear in a fluorescent green color. An excellent item will have additional properties which vary from increasing total mana, to increasing overall damage. An excellent item can also increase in level, have a luck option, and have a bonus option just like normal items. Excellent weapons and armors have different bonuses. [[Pendant]]s are classed with weapons, and rings are classed with armors. Before the item's normal name is the word "excellent." | '''Excellent Items''' - Very special and rare items that can give an extra and powerful boost to your items.

Ancient items are characterised with text the same color as excellent items and a blue background behind the text. A blue glow will appear around the outside of these items.

These are the armor sets that are used by the characters. The sets are made of [[Boots]], [[Gloves]], [[Pants]], [[Armor]] and [[Helmet|Helm]]. The Magic Gladiator cannot wear a helm so its sets do not include helms, therefore giving this [[character class]] a disadvantage. The [[armor]] a character is wearing provides an easy way to guess a character's experience and overall power. Some higher level characters who are not able to afford more expensive armors may be mistaken for a low level. Wearing a complete set of armor where all the pieces come from the same armor set gives a bonus to defense rate equal to 10% of total defense. | These are the armor sets that are used by the characters.
