Patch Notes #249 ~ 17 October 2026

:bell: Client

  • :sparkles: Important effects are no longer hidden to save memory.
  • :brain: The client needs much less memory.
  • :high_voltage: Changing maps and switching characters is about 0.2 seconds faster.
  • :electric_plug: A GM kick or @autotrade no longer shows the error "server did not accept this connection".
  • :bullseye: The LGP circle and square range preview no longer causes FPS drops on busy screens.
  • :framed_picture: NPC portraits stay in place with UI scaling on. This also works when a script changes the portrait.
  • :globe_showing_europe_africa: MuhRO settings, overlays, bank, buff timers, key bindings and connection messages are now available in Italian, Korean and Simplified Chinese. "Auto" follows your Windows language. Korean and Chinese need one of these Windows fonts: Malgun Gothic, Gulim, Microsoft YaHei, DengXian or SimSun.
  • :counterclockwise_arrows_button: Equipment swap no longer writes a chat line for every swapped item. Moving gear into or out of the swap window by hand still does. (:light_bulb: #1548)
  • :robot: Costume garments are no longer shown while riding a Madogear. (#334)

:pushpin: Events

  • Log in on October 17 or 18 to receive Orpheus's birthday mail with one Costume Chibi Orpheus per master account.
  • :prohibited: Cards no longer work in GM events where gear should not matter: Bomb Poring, the hourly Bombring, Falling Floors, Fire, Storm Party, Red Dead, Poring Search, Whack-a-Mole, Carousel and Color Picker. Your equipment itself still works. (:bug: #5455)
  • :bar_chart: Event rankings no longer cause a short lag spike when they refresh. The Halloween Soul Hunter ranking at the Ghost Cube now updates with every soul instead of every five minutes.
  • :jack_o_lantern: The Wandering Pumpkin now appears at 1,500 Halloween Tickets. Jack O'Gold announces 500, 1,000 and 1,400 tickets. He hands out any unclaimed Wandering Egg before he takes new donations (one egg per master account per round). (#5415)
  • :megaphone: Timed and GM events now use one announcement style: where to join (Neustadt, @go 52), short rules with the reward and a red countdown that ends with GO. (:light_bulb: #2564)
  • :tada: Happy Hour always includes one map for level 230 and above. You see the Happy Hour status at login. @happy opens the Happy Maid info with navigation. (:light_bulb: #2402, #1517)
  • :ghost: Halloween: the Greedy Ghost sells Blue Gemstones for 450 Zeny (was 7,500) and sells the Concentration Potion again (6,000 Zeny). (:bug: #4422)
  • :jack_o_lantern: Already live: Hallowring teleports half as often and no longer uses Wide Grasp.
  • :money_bag: Already live: fixed an EXP-Event donation bug at Capoo that could raise the remaining amount instead of lowering it.
  • :ghost: Pumpkinring and Whispering spawn on cmd_bhole, mu_fild01, hem_fild, hem_dun01, hem_dun02, uknw_ruin, uknw_ruin2, ch1_gfn01, ch1_gfn03, ch1zero1 to ch1zero4, nif_fild03 and moc_akhet.

:round_pushpin: Instances / Dungeons / Quests

  • :deciduous_tree: Chapter 2 is here. Characters at base level 225 or higher who finished Chapter 1 continue the story with Laphine Shasha.
  • :crown: Chapter 2 MVPs (Urochs, Flame Anima, Frost Morbang, Feeos and Phantom of Antirrhinum) give MVP experience.
  • :wrapped_gift: Chapter 2: Guardian El now gives the Azure Flame Mana Armor Box at the end of the chapter. Open it to choose the physical or the magical Azure Flame set. Armor, garment and footgear come at +9.
  • :saxophone: Charleston Crisis: optional fast mode after your first clear. A clear gives 10 Charleston Components and the Steps quest gives 3. Step and Kick And Kick can drop them too. (:light_bulb: #2380, #2381)
  • :fish: Malangdo Culvert: the weekly Seagod quest gives both Coelacanth targets. The first kill pays the reward. (:light_bulb: #83)
  • :dragon: Temple of the Demon God: Hibba Agip and Abidal now also stand in the cave next to Nidhogg. The Warper and the exit after the MVP lead to the cave entrance. (:light_bulb: #1767)
  • :tokyo_tower: Tower of Trials: every 10 floors cleared give 1 Zelunium, 1 Shadowdecon and 2 Etel Dust (from floor 50 also a 5% chance for a Bloody Branch). This works for up to 3 runs per master account per day. The weekly reward stays the same. (:light_bulb: #2285)
  • :chipmunk: Tower of Trials: every MVP floor also has a Haeschi.
  • :airplane: Airship Crash: the MVP always drops a Contaminated Card Book. (:light_bulb: #2367)
  • :open_book: Returning players get short story paths in Airship Crash, Sara's Memory, Lost in Time, Sarah and Fenrir and the Geffen Magic Tournament. Tomb of Remorse gets Abandon All. The Simulation Battle reward no longer locks the next run. (:light_bulb: #2663)
  • :mage: Geffen Magic Tournament no longer asks for a name or reloads the arena every round. (:light_bulb: #3270)
  • :clipboard: Mission boards no longer hand in finished missions when you click them. Use Complete all or pick a finished mission and hand it in now or later. (:light_bulb: #394)
  • :bow_and_arrow: Daily Hunts: new board at the Ayothaya beach. Roxanne and Marry Jae swapped places in the Archer Village. Late game hunts (Niflheim, Rudus 4, Amicitia, Mjolnir, Power Twisted Plains, Clock Tower Basement) give Eden Coins. (:light_bulb: #1015, #2837)
  • :busts_in_silhouette: Daily Hunts: item rewards of level 200+ hunts are shared by all game accounts of a master account. The limit of 15 per quest per day counts all accounts together. Clock Tower Basement tasks give item rewards once per master account per day and the Special once per week. Experience is not limited.
  • :repeat_button: Daily Hunts: Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 hunts now work like all other hunts. You can take them again right after you hand them in (quests that need items once per day). Each pays a Forgotten Heirloom plus Root Gold Coins or Flame Gold Coins and experience. Item rewards are given up to 15 times per quest per day. The story requirement and the separate reset timers are gone. Help Us! Doctor!, Divine's Prescription and Jemis' Parts Delivery are only available from their NPCs.
  • :mantelpiece_clock: Clock Tower Basement dailies (Meal, Pet Mimic and Snack) each give a Forgotten Heirloom. (:light_bulb: #3260)

  • :admission_tickets: Wolfchev's Laboratory Clear Ticket: Temporal Tina sells it for 1,000,000 Zeny and the cash shop for 5,000 Muh Cash Points. It completes the Cursed Spirits and Dangerous Rumors prerequisites. (:light_bulb: #2117)
  • :ticket: Episode Clear Tickets now complete the whole episode: the main story and every one-time side quest with everything they unlock. Daily and repeatable quests stay untouched. You get no quest rewards or reputation from a ticket. The Episode 14 ticket also covers Bifrost/Mora (14.1) and Eclage (14.2). Characters that finished only the main story or already used a ticket can use one again for the rest. @epstatus shows what is still open. The Thanatos Tower and Wolfchev's Laboratory tickets work the same way. A ticket is no longer used up when the quest log could not be updated.
  • :detective: Episode 20: the Oriryo Trooper gives the spy search briefing to everyone who finished Episode 20 without it. Now you can unlock the spy search dailies. Finishing Episode 20, the Chapter 1 main story or Zero Cell unlocks the matching Clear Ticket. A Clear Ticket used inside an Episode 16 or 17.1 story instance no longer sets the story back.
  • :ogre: Chapter 1 monsters use the official kRO HP, ATK and experience. Encroached Geffenia monsters hit about four times harder and their Tough versions have much more HP. Bulgasari and Glutto have less HP and Listener has its full 171 million HP. The first 16 Chapter 1 field monsters gave double experience and now give the official amount.
  • :crossed_swords: Final Battle: Encroached Tan uses the kRO HP and regeneration: 95 million HP on Easy, 570 million on Normal and 650 million on Hard (was 570 million, 1.07 billion and 2 billion). He no longer heals 9% of his max HP every 5 seconds. (:bug: #5473)
  • :gem_stone: Igpi drops from Yggring and Leafeing and Lobelia drops from Lobelia. Now both Chapter 1 rune tablets can be completed. The Zero Cell bosses drop their Encroached weapon and Re-Rover drops Sword Mace. Flame Bull, Logidogi, Fire Cotton, Alpuring and Icy Blast drop Burning Hide, Old Snack, Fluffy Ember, Ice Jelly and Frost Fragment. (:bug: #5407)
  • :hourglass_not_done: @cd now lists Final Battle, Mysterious Ghost Ship, Phantom of Nyrholt, Weekend Dungeon and the MuhRO Mystery Dungeon. Mistwood Maze, Octopus Cave and Weekend Dungeon use the normal instance cooldown: one run per day with one re-entry, reset at server midnight. (:bug: #5451)
  • :mantelpiece_clock: Eden Group: the Clock Tower missions on the 70-99 Mission Board work again. (:bug: #5426)
  • :dna: Bioresearch Laboratory: Sierra's first conversation no longer freezes the dialog or blocks you from other NPCs. (:bug: #5435)
  • :door: Fenrir and Sarah: a portal now leads out of the closed boss room when you reconnect after a boss scene ended. (:bug: #5434)
  • :snowflake: Episode 19: Horr's feeler daily gives Isgard reputation instead of Grey Wolf Village reputation. The third Snow Flower needs 3,000 Isgard reputation. (:bug:)

:key: Items / Item Handling

  • :sparkles: Timed item procs are now real buffs with their own icon, name, description and timer (957 procs from equipment, cards, enchants and sets). A proc ends when you unequip its item or set. Two copies of the same item refresh one proc instead of stacking. Effects inside procs run once per trigger.
  • :package: Fixed a rare bug where switching Master Storage tabs while the last tab was still saving could overwrite Storage I. A new tab now waits until the previous one is saved.
  • :chipmunk: New pet Haeschi: a fiery squirrel that hatches from the Haeschi Egg and eats Pet Food. How to get the egg will be announced later.
  • :joker: Chapter 2 cards: the Old Card Album can give the 18 monster cards and the MVP Card Scroll the five MVP cards. Bloody Branches can summon the four Chapter 2 field MVPs. Sakura exchanges Chapter 2 cards for 1 Card Coin each and MVP cards for 1 Sealed Card Album.
  • :broom: Removed 5,541 items that never existed on MuhRO (other servers' exclusives and unused placeholders). Nobody owned one. Item lists, set bonuses and the Build Planner now only show items that exist here.
  • :crown: Yorscalp Crown of Execution and Yorscalp Crown of Judgment are no longer character-bound (like the Temporal Circlets). (:light_bulb: #3537)
  • :snake: Evil Snake Lord Hat: the Mastela Fruit, Royal Jelly and White Potion boxes from its Siege Supply Box now give bound potions without NPC value: 200 [Bound] Mastela Fruit, 100 [Bound] Royal Jelly and 100 [Bound] White Potions. The White Potion Box was empty before. [Bound] White and White Slim Potions sell for 0 Zeny.
  • :shortcake: New Big Buche De Noel (30 minutes): trade 3 Buche De Noel for 1 at the Caroller. (:light_bulb: #2427)
  • :horse_face: Halter Lead delay is now 0.5 seconds and it no longer spams the chat. (:light_bulb: #760)
  • :gem_stone: NPC shops sell Blue Gemstones for 450 Zeny (was 1,500). (:bug: #4422)
  • :meat_on_bone: Food and potion buffs (stat, cash and Geneticist foods, ASPD potions and similar) pause in towns like Bubble Gum and Battle Manuals. Paused buffs do not spam the chat. (:light_bulb: #3245)
  • :crystal_ball: Absorption Stones (Dual) also drain HP or SP on magic hits. (:light_bulb: #1364)
  • :crown: Time Dimensions Rune Crown: the slot 3 jewel can be upgraded and rerolled. The 3rd enchant can be changed alone for 125 Time Dimension Magic Runes. The crowns are now called "TD Rune Crown (class)". (:light_bulb: #2899, #2384, #3143)

  • :feather: Royal Hunt card fragments weigh nothing. (:light_bulb: #1978)
  • :snowflake: Snow Flower items use one spelling. (:light_bulb: #4365)
  • :convenience_store: Fixed shops failing with "Some of your items cannot be vended or have no price" after restocking. Items can no longer be moved between the cart and Master or Guild Storage while the shop setup window is open. Finish or cancel the setup first. (:bug: #5475)
  • :leaf_fluttering_in_wind: Smokie Transformation Leaf-LT and the auto-casts of all three Smokie Transformation Leaves now only trigger on melee physical attacks as described. Bow attacks triggered them before. (:bug: #5477)
  • :magic_wand: The Wand of Affection and Wand of Affection II set descriptions now name Clearance instead of Sacrament. The set effect was already correct. (:bug: #5437)
  • :ticket: Character Transfer Ticket: characters in a clan can be transferred and keep their clan. You still have to leave guilds and parties first.
  • :crown: Already live: Sandra exchanges the Temporal Circlet of every class for C. Circlet of Time (cyan). This failed for most classes before.

You can trade, vend, drop and mail them and put them into carts and guild storage. Putting one into a cart no longer shows a wrong "over your Weight Limit" message.
  • :stopwatch: Item and set procs and the new kRO skills have status icons with names and tooltips. You can show them above your character in MuhUI Settings > Buff timers (search for the item or skill name).
  • :joker: The Sarah Card description now shows its real effect: a single hit above 40% of your MaxHP is reduced to 40% of your MaxHP. (:light_bulb: #1781)

  • :world_map: Warper: 13 new Chapter 2 destinations under Dungeons > Chapter 2. Kindlebrook and Ragsroot Village also show under Towns. Nyrholt and Phantom of Nyrholt also show under Instances. Each destination needs its story checkpoint. This also applies to shared favorites.
