For the past few articles on MU Origin 2, we have always talked about combat in the forms of PVE and PVP. Perhaps due to MU Online being developed several decades ago, it is lacking visual features such as skins and costumes. Since the first MU Origin, this feature has been further improved in MU Origin 2 with a huge selection of cosmetic items waiting for players to discover and unlock. In what seems like an in-game fashion wardrobe, let us take a quick look at what is being offered for characters to look cool, hip, and trendy!
Here are some tips on obtaining new cosmetic items:
• Majority of the skins and costumes are obtained through regular social and in-game events, and also festivals such as Christmas and Lunar New Year. Other methods include Dragonlord’s Treasure (see below) or various in-game PVE and PVP achievements.
• The quickest way to obtain skins and costumes is to spend Diamonds trying out your luck in the feature known as Dragonlord’s Treasure. This is similar to the gacha system found in most mobile games, and cash currency known as Diamonds is needed. However, players might also roll powerful new gears and exclusive mounts as well!
• Each skin or costume has 3 different versions: 7 days, 30 days, and permanent. Skins and costumes obtained from Dragonlord’s Treasure will fall into 1 of these 3 categories too.
• From what I observed, almost all skins and costumes will provide additional stats, which definitely gives the overall character BP (Battle Points) a significant boost.
• While rare, players can also head to the auction house (known as Market in MU Origin 2) and check out if players are selling any unbound skins or costumes. From what I see so far, most of them are of the time-limited variants, and no permanent ones. Items in the market are traded using Diamonds, and only unbounded ones can be exchanged.
