380 items
An expensive seal that only pays off on 40 specific items — and how not to throw 10 million away.
The 380 item is a seal that is applied at the Chaos Machine and gives the equipment a pair of fixed options aimed at PvP. The name comes from the original MU, where these pieces required level 380.
How to apply#
At the Chaos Machine, with the Chaos Goblin in Noria (180, 103):
- Target: any equipment +4 or more, with an additional option of at least +4, that isn't 380 yet.
- Ingredients: 1 Jewel of Guardian + 1 Jewel of Harmony.
- Zen: 10,000,000.
- Chance: 50% if the item is +4, +5 or +6; 70% if it is +7 or more.
- Talisman of Luck: adds +1% each, up to +10.
On failure the item remains intact — only the jewels, the talisman and the zen are lost. It's one of the few Chaos Machine recipes that doesn't destroy anything.
Always take the item to +7 before trying. The chance jumps from 50% to 70% and the item would have to be refined anyway.
The trap#
The recipe accepts any equipment, but only 40 items in the game actually gain bonuses. Applying 380 to an item outside the list gives a pretty seal and no effect at all — 10 million zen, a Jewel of Guardian and a Jewel of Harmony down the drain.
Check the list before mixing.
The items that work#
Weapons and staves#
Bone Blade, Explosion Blade, Phoenix Soul Star, Soleil Sceptor, Sylph Wind Bow, Grand Viper Staff and Storm Blitz Stick.
They receive:
- +200 PvP damage
- +10 PvP hit rate
Sets#
The sets Dragon Knight, Venom Mist, Sylphid Ray, Volcano, Sunlight, Storm Blitz and Phoenix Soul.
The bonus depends on the piece:
| Piece | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Helm | +2 shield recovery |
| Armor | improves the shield recovery type |
| Pants | +200 PvP defense |
| Gloves | +200 max life |
| Boots | +700 max shield |
And all five pieces give +10 PvP defense rate.
Adding up the complete set: +200 PvP defense, +200 life, +700 shield and +50 PvP defense rate. For anyone who plays Castle Siege or Gens, it's a huge difference.
Two honest remarks: the armor's shield recovery type option does nothing here, because the shield already regenerates all the time; and the +200 PvP defense works as a proportional reduction of damage taken, with a floor of 10% of the original damage — it cuts a lot, but never zeroes a hit.
Where to get the materials#
- Jewel of Guardian: cash shop, 5,000 Cash.
- Jewel of Harmony: purify a Gemstone with Elpis (100% chance), or 8,000 Cash in the cash shop. See Jewel of Harmony.
Recommended order#
- Get the right piece from the list above.
- Take it to +7 with Bless and Soul.
- Add an additional option with Jewel of Life (the recipe requires at least +4 of option).
- Apply the 380 at 70%.
- Only after that think about Jewel of Harmony — an item can have 380 and Harmony at the same time.
