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:
| NPC | Where | What they sell |
|---|---|---|
| Hanzo the Blacksmith | Lorencia (116, 141) · Crywolf (145, 14) | DK/BK and MG orbs, DL scrolls and RF parchments |
| Pasi the Mage | Lorencia (118, 113) | All 21 scrolls for DW/SM, Fire Ball through Nova |
| Elf Lala | Noria (173, 125) | Every ELF/ME orb |
| Marce | Elbeland (36, 219) | SUM parchments and the four basic DW scrolls |
| Wizard Izabel | Devias (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:
| Item | Class | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Orb of Impale | DK · MG | 20 |
| Orb of Twisting Slash | DK · MG | 47 |
| Orb of Greater Fortitude | DK | 60 |
| Orb of Fire Slash | MG | 60 |
| Orb of Death Stab | DK | 72 |
| Orb of Rageful Blow | DK | 78 |
| Crystal of Destruction | BK | 100 |
| Crystal of Flame Strike | MG | 100 |
| Scroll of FireBurst | DL | 74 |
| Scroll of Critical Damage | DL | 82 |
| Scroll of Electric Spark | DL | 92 |
| Scroll of Summon | DL | 98 |
| Scroll of Chaotic Diseier | DL | 100 |
| Scroll of Fire Scream | DL | 102 |
| RF parchments | RF | 70 to 100 |
Both Crystals also require the second-class quest to be done.
The one that is not sold
| Item | Class | Level | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magic Mastery Parchment | SUM | 60 | Drop 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 - 4andmonsterLevel + 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.
