How do I get my class skills?

Every skill is an object. On REX 48 of the 49 are sold by an NPC: the DK/BK/MG orbs come from Hanzo the Blacksmith, not Pasi. They all still drop, from monsters inside a level window.

In MU a skill is an object. You get it, put it in your inventory and double-click it to learn it. The object goes by a different name per class, but it works the same way:

  • Scrolls — Dark Wizard and Soul Master.
  • Orbs — Dark Knight, Blade Knight and Fairy Elf.
  • Scrolls from the orb group — Dark Lord.
  • Parchments — Summoner and Rage Fighter.
  • Magic Gladiator draws on both families: scrolls for the magic, orbs for the physical.

Nearly all of them are for sale

This is the part that trips people up: on REX 48 of the 49 skills are on sale. Only one has to be farmed. Each NPC serves its own classes:

NPCWhereWhat they sell
Hanzo the BlacksmithLorencia (116, 141) · Crywolf (145, 14)DK/BK and MG orbs, DL scrolls and RF parchments
Pasi the MageLorencia (118, 113)All 21 scrolls for DW/SM, Fire Ball through Nova
Elf LalaNoria (173, 125)Every ELF/ME orb
MarceElbeland (36, 219)SUM parchments and the four basic DW scrolls
Wizard IzabelDevias (225, 41)Scroll of Flame and Scroll of Twister

Hanzo, not Pasi

If you are a Dark Knight, Blade Knight or Magic Gladiator and went looking for your orbs at the mage, you will not find them: Pasi sells scrolls only. The orbs are with Hanzo the Blacksmith, two doors down in the same Lorencia.

What Hanzo carries, with the level each one asks for:

Both Crystals also require the second-class quest to be done.

The one that is not sold

ItemClassLevelWhere
Magic Mastery ParchmentSUM60Drop only

It is the only one of the 49 no NPC stocks. It falls from monsters of level 58 to 64.

They all still drop

Being in a shop does not take them out of the drop tables: all 49 fall from monsters too, and there the item's level is what decides. The server's rule is a single line:

a monster drops a skill item when the item's level sits between monsterLevel - 4 and monsterLevel + 2

Or turned around, which is how you will actually use it: a level N scroll drops from monsters of level N-2 to N+4. A Scroll of Ice Storm (level 93) comes from level 91 to 97 monsters and from nowhere else — not lower, not higher. That is why a better skill needs a bigger monster: it is not luck, it is that a level 20 monster cannot drop a Scroll of Nova however many times you kill it.

You can see what each monster drops, and which monsters drop an item, in Drop & Monsters.

Buying it is not learning it

Holding the object is half of it. Double-clicking also checks the skill's attribute requirements, and those do not bend. Dark Wizard scrolls start at 100 Energy and reach 258 at the Scroll of Nova; the MG's Orb of Fire Slash asks for 320 Strength. Buying an object and sitting on it until your points catch up is normal.

Master Level skills are a different thing: they are not objects and are not sold, they unlock by spending points in the mastery tree from level 400.
