Chaos Machine
What it is
It is a box where you put items in and press a button. If it works, the items vanish and something better appears in their place. If it fails, the items vanish all the same and you get nothing.
There is no other route in MU to improve your gear. Everything good goes through here: raising an item's number, making wings, making a mount, assembling an event ticket.
It almost always charges zen on top of the items, and the chance is never 100% — with four exceptions that are marked further down.
Where it is, and with whom
The NPC is called the Chaos Goblin. Talk to him and the box opens.
| Where | Coordinate |
|---|---|
| Noria | 180, 103 — and there is a second one at 189, 107 |
Socket has its own NPC, in Elbeland, and it is not the Chaos Goblin — see the Socket article.
How it is used
- Talk to the Chaos Goblin. An empty box opens.
- Drag the recipe's items into it.
- The screen shows the chance and the cost in zen.
- Press to combine.
If an ingredient is missing, or there is one too many, the machine refuses and charges nothing. If you have everything and it fails, you lose everything that was in the box — and the zen.
The number on the item
Every piece of gear carries a number: Dragon Armor +5. It starts at +0 and goes
up to +15. The higher it is, the more defence or damage.
From +0 to +9 you use a jewel straight on the item, no box needed: Bless takes it from +0 to +6, Soul from +7 to +9. That is explained in the Jewels article.
From +10 to +15 it happens here in the machine, and the recipe always has the same shape:
1 Jewel of Chaos + N Jewel of Soul + N Jewel of Bless + the item
N grows with every step, and the chance drops:
| Raising to | Soul and Bless | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| +10 | 1 of each | 60% |
| +11 | 2 of each | 60% |
| +12 | 3 of each | 50% |
| +13 | 4 of each | 50% |
| +14 | 5 of each | 40% |
| +15 | 6 of each | 100% |
Yes, +15 is 100% on this server. Its bottleneck is the 12 jewels the recipe demands, not luck.
Wings
Wings are the back item that gives damage and defence, and they are the first big goal for anyone still levelling. There are three levels, each one more expensive.
| Recipe | What goes in | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 wings | 1 Chaos + an excellent item + material | by the price |
| Level 2 wings | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + level 1 wings + material | by the price |
| Level 3 wings | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + level 2 wings + material | by the price |
| Condor Feather | wing material | by the price |
"By the price" means the chance is not fixed: it is worked out from the value of the item you put in the box. A more expensive item, a better chance. The screen always shows the number before you press — trust it, not a table.
Mounts and companions
| Recipe | What goes in | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Dinorant | 10 Jewel of Chaos + zen | 70% |
| Horn of Fenrir | Fenrir material | 30% |
| Piece of Horn | material | 70% |
| Broken Horn | material | 50% |
| Pet | the creature's material | 60% |
The Fenrir is the most expensive mount in the game, and the 30% is its final step — the pieces before it have better odds.
Event tickets
An event does not open on willpower alone: you need the ticket of the right level for your character. The machine is what assembles it.
| Ticket | What goes in | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Cloak of Invisibility — Blood Castle | Archangel Scroll + Blood Bone + 1 Chaos | 80% |
| Devil's Invitation — Devil Square, floors 1 to 4 | Devil's Eye + Devil's Key + 1 Chaos | 80% |
| Devil's Invitation — floors 5, 6 and 7 | the same, with better material | 70% |
Which ticket level comes out depends on the materials that go in. The Blood Castle and Devil Square articles have the table of which level you need.
Jewel of Harmony
Harmony gives the item a special option that no other route offers.
| Recipe | What it does | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Forge | puts the Harmony option on the item | 50% |
| Purify | takes the option off and gives the item back clean | 100% |
| Restore | recovers the item | 100% |
Purifying and restoring never fail. Forging fails half the time.
Socket
The two socket recipes live here too, but with the Seed Master in Elbeland, not with the Chaos Goblin. Both are 100% on this server:
| Recipe | Chance |
|---|---|
| Create the Seed | 100% |
| Create the Seed Sphere | 100% |
The Socket article explains the whole chain.
Other recipes
| Recipe | What it does | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit | moves an attribute point from one place to another | 90% |
| Lucky item — refine | improves a lucky item | 60%, and 10% on the high step |
| Shield potion | defence potion | 50% · 30% · 30% |
Every recipe, one by one
This is the server's complete list. Cost is already in this server's zen scale.
Gear
| Recipe | What you put in the box | Cost | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Raising to +10 through +15 | 1 Chaos + N Soul + N Bless + the item | — | 60 · 60 · 50 · 50 · 40 · 100% |
| Chaos item | 1 Chaos + Bless + Soul + a Chaos weapon | — | by the price |
| 380 item | 1 Guardian + 1 Harmony + the item | 10,000 | by the price |
| Excellent option — 1st | 20 Fragments + 1 Creation + a +9 item with no option | — | see Blood Castle |
| Excellent option — 2nd | 40 Fragments + 2 Creation + an item with 1 option | — | see Blood Castle |
| Life Stone | 1 Chaos + 5 Bless + 5 Soul + 1 Guardian | 5,000 | by the price |
Wings
| Recipe | What you put in the box | Cost | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 wings | 1 Chaos + Bless + Soul + a Chaos weapon | — | by the price |
| Level 2 wings | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + 1 bundle of 10 Soul + level 1 wings + an item | 5,000 | by the price |
| Level 3 wings | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + a bundle of 10 Soul + a bundle of 10 Bless + Flame + Feather + an item | — | by the price |
| Condor Feather | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + a bundle of 10 Soul + wings + an item | — | by the price |
Mounts and companions
| Recipe | What you put in the box | Cost | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dinorant | 1 Chaos + 10 Uniria | 500 | 70% |
| Pet (Horse or Raven) | 1 Chaos + the creature's spirit + 5 or 2 Bless + Soul | — | 60% |
| Piece of Horn | 1 Chaos + 20 Splinter of Armor + 20 Bless of Guardian | — | 70% |
| Broken Horn | 1 Chaos + 10 Claw of Beast + 5 Pieces of Horn | — | 50% |
| Horn of Fenrir | 1 Chaos + 1 Broken Horn + 3 Jewel of Life | 10,000 | 30% |
| Upgrading the Fenrir | 1 Chaos + 1 Horn of Fenrir + 5 Life + a weapon or an armour | 10,000 | by the price |
The Fenrir is the longest chain in the game: four recipes strung one after the other, and the last one has the lowest chance of them all.
Event tickets
| Recipe | What you put in the box | Cost | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloak of Invisibility — Blood Castle | 1 Chaos + 1 Archangel Scroll + 1 Blood Bone | 50 | 80% |
| Devil's Invitation — Devil Square | 1 Chaos + 1 Devil's Eye + 1 Devil's Key | 100 | 80% floors 1-4 · 70% floors 5-7 |
| Illusion Temple ticket | 1 Chaos + 1 Loch's Feather + 1 potion | 3,000 | 70% |
The Scroll and the Bone must be of the same level, and so must the Eye and the Key. That level is what decides which floor the ticket opens.
Jewel of Harmony
| Recipe | What it does | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Gemstone → Harmony | 1 Gemstone becomes 1 Jewel of Harmony | 100% |
| Forge | puts the Harmony option on the item | 50% |
| Purify | takes the option off | 100% |
| Restore | recovers the item | 100% |
Socket — with the Seed Master in Elbeland
| Recipe | What you put in the box | Cost | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create the Seed | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + 1 Harmony + an excellent +4 + an ancient +4 | 1,000 | 100% |
| Create the Seed Sphere | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + 1 Seed + 1 Sphere | 1,000 | 100% |
| Mount it into the item | 1 Chaos + 1 Creation + 1 Seed Sphere + the item | 1,000 | 100% |
| Take it out of the item | the item on its own | 1,000 | 100% |
Taking it out does not give the sphere back.

|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|

| Refine a lucky item | 1 lucky item | 60%, and 10% on the high step |
What the machine does not do here
There is not one single recipe that creates an excellent item out of nothing. The machine improves what you already have. An excellent item enters the server through a drop, or through the excellent option recipe described in the Blood Castle article.
