Each equipment slot can only hold one single piece of equipment of the slot and players can replace the equipment on each slot depending on their rarity and stats the further they progress into the game. Each equipment slot will provide players with different unique status depending on the gear that players equip, the higher the quality of the gear, the more powerful stats they will provide to the players.

The higher the stat requirements, the more powerful the gears are and the more stats they provide.
Different equipment slots allow players to equip one of each type of equipment onto them, meaning that players will need to have an understanding of which gear is worth equipping in order to boost the overall power of the characters when fighting monsters.
The different gears and equipment in MU: Dark Epoch have their strengths and abilities determined by 2 different factors: Rarities and Tiers.
Rarities prefer the different types of gears of the same tier players can obtain, signified by the color of the gear’s border. High rarity gears have higher maximum possible stats when enhanced compared to low rarity gears of the same tier, so players should aim for high rarity gears when farming for gears of the same tier. The Rarities of the different gears goes in the following order to colors, the higher rarity having brighter colors: White > Green > Blue > Purple > Gold > Red.
Equipment Tier prefers the different equipment generations that players can obtain the further they are in the game, the higher the tier, the more powerful the gears are completely when compared to lower tier equipment. It is generally understood that no matter how strong a low tier equipment is, if players obtained a higher tier equipment, it is generally better to equip and invest in higher tier equipment in general. Different tiers are signified by the numbers with tier 0th being the lowest and increasing to tier 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
Finally, to determine which gear is better to equip, players can look at the different gear ratings when considering an equipment. Gear Rating will take into account everything from the best stat to investment ratio, the different tier of the gear and how much stats the gear will provide to the characters when equipped in order to determine which gear has a higher rating.
It is generally best to equip the highest rating gears depending on the gear rating. However, some special equipment may have special unique stats that only show up sometimes when players are lucky, making them very rare and might prove useful for certain character builds. When this happens, it is highly encouraged that players consider before choosing which of the equipment stats they want more rather than going with the equipment rating in order to have the best possible equipment build for the different characters.
As MU: Dark Epoch is an MMORPG game with various tasks and storyline for players to do, generally speaking, at the start of the game, players do not need to overly invest in different types of equipment. Before players reach around level 280, it is generally agreed upon that players should just use whatever pieces of equipment they can obtain from monster drops and quest rewards, as they are generally strong enough for players to complete certain boss fights.
Once players have reached level 280 and above, they should start thinking of investing and farming 3rd tier gear to prepare themselves for higher level raids, where a difficult spike will happen.
A very amazing system in MU: Dark Epoch is the special Auction house system, which allows players to sell items that they don’t use anymore to other players with prices they set themselves.
Generally, when high level players reach a certain point in the game’s progress, they will start selling low level gear that they no longer use in the auction house. Players can take advantage of this and negotiate with these high level players in order to obtain the best pieces of gears for themselves at a reasonable price.
Furthermore, if players joined a guild and want the help of other high level guild members, they can ask their guild members to sell their old equipment to you at a reasonable price to be able to advance in the game much quicker.
As MU: Dark Epoch is a MMORPG experience where players will have the chance to encounter and talk to many different players from all walks of life, it is generally encouraged that players speak up when they need help with farming gears.
Higher level can generally clear a lower level boss or dungeon relatively easy when compared to lower level players, so generally speaking, it is not a bad idea to ask for the help of high level players to carry you in different high level dungeons in order to quickly obtain high level gears, allowing you to become stronger quickly and aid the high level players in even more difficult raids in the future.
