'''Mu Lung Dojo''' is the tower Mu Gong built in Mu Lung: 38 floors, a boss waiting on almost every one of them. You climb alone or with a party, defeat each floor's boss, step through the door it guards and go up. Every sixth floor is a rest floor where So Gong lets you catch your breath, leave, or record how far you got. Each floor you clear pays '''training points''', which So Gong trades for the dojo's belts, and players who take up his medal challenge can earn a Vanquisher medal for every boss in the tower.

{{Quote|Our master is the strongest person in Mu Lung. The place he built is called the Mu Lung Dojo, a building that is 38 stories tall! You can train yourself as you go up each level. Of course, it'll be hard for someone at your level to reach the top.|So Gong}}

== Before you go ==
* '''Getting there.''' Touch the [[NPC:Mu Lung Dojo Bulletin Board|Mu Lung Dojo Bulletin Board]] in [[Map:Mu Lung Temple|Mu Lung Temple]] and choose ''Challenge the Mu Lung Dojo.'', then say yes. You arrive at the [[Map:Mu Lung Dojo Entrance|Mu Lung Dojo Entrance]]. ''Read the notice in more detail.'' shows Mu Gong's challenge to all comers.
* '''Level.''' So Gong will not deal with anyone below level 25: ''You should at least be level 25.''
* '''Nothing to pay and nothing to bring.''' There is no entry fee, no item check and no daily limit.
* '''Bring a free Equip slot''' if you mean to claim a belt or a medal.
* '''Your potions stay in your bag.''' On the dojo floors you cannot use any item that heals or buffs you (''You can't use that item on this map.''). The only healing there is the dojo's own potions, such as the [[Item:Mu Lung Dojo Elixir|Mu Lung Dojo Elixir]], [[Item:Mu Lung Dojo Mana Elixir|Mu Lung Dojo Mana Elixir]], [[Item:Mu Lung Dojo Power Elixir|Mu Lung Dojo Power Elixir]] and [[Item:Mu Lung Dojo Cure-All Medicine|Mu Lung Dojo Cure-All Medicine]], which take effect the moment you pick them up.

=== So Gong's menu ===
In [[Map:Mu Lung Dojo Hall|Mu Lung Dojo Hall]] So Gong offers:
* ''I want to challenge him alone.''
* ''I want to challenge him with a party.''
* ''I want to receive a belt.''
* ''I want to reset my training points.''
* ''I want to receive a medal.''
* ''What is a Mu Lung Dojo?''

== Entering ==
=== Alone: the first time ===
The first time you choose to go alone, So Gong decides to test you himself. Say yes and you are taken to [[Map:So Gong's Room|So Gong's Room]], where you must defeat [[Monster:So Gong|So Gong]] (level 20, 2,000 HP).

When he falls the room shows ''So Gong ran away crying. There appears to be an exit on the 2nd floor railing.'' Climb to that exit and it takes you back to the Hall. Try it before he is beaten and he stops you: ''Haha! You're going to run away like a coward? I won't let you get away that easily!'' From then on, choosing to go alone takes you straight to the 1st floor.

=== Alone: a recorded climb ===
If you recorded your progress on a rest floor (see [[#Rest floors|Rest floors]]), So Gong offers to take you back there. Say '''Yes''' to start on the floor after that rest floor. Saying '''No''' erases the record. Ending the chat without answering keeps it.

=== With a party ===
# Only the '''party leader''' can start. Anyone else hears ''Where do you think you're going? You're not even the party leader! Go tell your party leader to talk to me.''
# '''Every member of the party''' must be within '''30 levels''' of each other, counting members who are not in the Hall. Otherwise So Gong refuses: ''Please make sure all of your party members are within 30 levels of each other.''
# The leader is taken to the party's 1st floor, and the members '''standing in the Hall''' with the leader go too. A member who is somewhere else is left behind.

There is no minimum party size: a party of one can enter the party floors. Party floors are separate from the solo floors, but each pays one point less per floor and does not count towards medals (see below).

== Floors ==
The tower has '''38 floors'''. Floors 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 are rest floors with no boss. On every other floor one boss appears as you arrive, at one of three fixed spots. The boss on each floor is fixed. Its number in the climb is the '''round''' shown in the banner as the floor starts.

A full climb from the 1st floor to the top pays '''143''' training points alone and '''112''' with a party.

=== The door ===
Each boss floor has two ways onward:
# When the boss is defeated, the dojo's door opens. Go to the portal on the floor and press up. If the boss is still standing you hear ''There are still some monsters remaining.''; once it is down, the door opens and you are placed beside it on the 2nd-floor railing.
# The portal beside the door takes you to the next floor and pays the floor's training points. It refuses with ''The door is not open yet.'' while the door is shut and monsters remain.

On arrival a line tells you how many training points you received and your new total.

=== Rest floors ===
On a rest floor So Gong asks if you still want the challenge:
* ''I want to continue'' takes you to the next floor. A party leader who chooses it brings along the members standing with them; any other member who chooses it goes on alone.
* ''I want to leave'' (after a yes) takes you to the [[Map:Mu Lung Dojo Exit|Mu Lung Dojo Exit]].
* ''I want to record my score up to this point'' appears only on the solo rest floors. It saves this rest floor so So Gong can bring you back to the floor after it next time. If this floor is already your record he tells you so.

{{Note|Choosing ''I want to continue'' on any rest floor erases your recorded score. So Gong warns about this when he records it.}}

When So Gong offers a recorded climb he names it by round: a record on floor 6 is round 5, floor 12 round 10, and so on up to floor 36, round 30.

=== The top ===
The door on the 38th floor leads to the [[Map:Mu Lung Dojo Rooftop|Mu Lung Dojo Rooftop]]. That door pays no training points; instead you receive '''2,000 EXP for every training point you hold''' when you arrive.

== Rules ==
=== The clock ===
The climb is timed in stretches. A stretch starts on the floor you enter from the Hall, from a rest floor or from a recorded start, and runs to the floor before the next rest floor. The time left is shown on the dojo's screen display, with your HP, the boss's HP and your energy.

{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Floors !! scope="col" | Time for the stretch
|-
| 1 to 5 || 5 minutes
|-
| 7 to 11 || 6 minutes
|-
| 13 to 17 || 7 minutes
|-
| 19 to 23 || 8 minutes
|-
| 25 to 29 || 9 minutes
|-
| 31 to 35 || 10 minutes
|-
| 37 and 38 || 15 minutes
|}

The clock does not stop between floors of the same stretch, and the rest floors are untimed. When it reaches zero the ''time over'' banner shows, and 3 seconds later you are sent to the [[Map:Mu Lung Dojo Exit|Mu Lung Dojo Exit]]. Starting a stretch somewhere other than its first floor (a recorded start, say) still uses the time for the floor you start on.

=== Energy and the secret skills ===
The first time you stand in the Hall you learn three secret skills, which appear on your Beginner skill tab: [[Skill:Bamboo Rain|Bamboo Rain]], [[Skill:Invincibility|Invincibility]] and [[Skill:Power Explosion|Power Explosion]].

* Your '''energy bar''' fills by '''100''' for every attack of yours that lands and by '''20''' for every hit you take, up to '''10,000'''.
* The bar is emptied in the Entrance, the Hall and the Exit, and whenever you leave the dojo.
* The secret skills work only on a dojo floor and only with a '''full''' bar. Using one empties it: ''As you used the secret skill, your energy bar has been reset.''
* '''Invincibility''' blocks every hit for 30 seconds. '''Power Explosion''' doubles your damage rate for 30 seconds. '''Bamboo Rain''' strikes up to 30 monsters around you. Both buffs work only inside the dojo.

=== Your own floors ===
{{Note|Every climb gets its own copy of the 38 floors: you (or your party) never meet another climber's boss. Each channel has room for 45 solo climbs and 15 party climbs at once. When they are all in use So Gong says ''All Dojo's are being used already. Wait for awhile before trying again.'', and a party that already has a climb running is told ''Either your party is already using the Dojo or your party's allotted time on the Dojo has not expired yet. Wait for them to finish to enter.'' Leaving the floors (through the exit, from the rooftop or with a scroll) ends your part of the climb.}}

== Points and belts ==
Training points build up across climbs. They are '''not''' lost when a climb ends, and you can hold up to '''17,000''': once you have that many, floors pay nothing more.

Choose ''I want to receive a belt.'' to claim a belt. Each belt costs training points (they are taken from your total) and needs a level '''above''' the one listed. Every belt after the first also needs the belt before it '''unequipped in your Equip inventory'''; it is taken in exchange.

{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Belt !! scope="col" | Training points !! scope="col" | Level above !! scope="col" | Needs !! scope="col" | STR, DEX, INT, LUK !! scope="col" | Weapon and Magic DEF !! scope="col" | Avoidability
|-
| [[Item:White Belt|White Belt]] || 200 || 25 || Nothing || +1 || +10 || +3
|-
| [[Item:Yellow Belt|Yellow Belt]] || 1,800 || 35 || White Belt || +2 || +20 || +6
|-
| [[Item:Blue Belt|Blue Belt]] || 4,000 || 45 || Yellow Belt || +3 || +30 || +9
|-
| [[Item:Red Belt|Red Belt]] || 9,200 || 60 || Blue Belt || +4 || +40 || +12
|-
| [[Item:Black Belt|Black Belt]] || 17,000 || 75 || Red Belt || +5 || +50 || +15
|}

* If you are short, So Gong tells you what is missing: the belt before, the level, or how many more points you need.
* With no room in the Equip inventory he says ''Make room in your EQUIP inventory before trying to claim a belt!''
* ''I want to reset my training points.'' sets your points back to 0, after a yes. You keep any belts you hold.

{{Tip|Claiming a belt spends points, and the rooftop EXP is paid on the points you hold when you arrive. Decide which you want before you claim.}}

== Medals ==
Choose ''I want to receive a medal.'' to take up So Gong's medal challenge. The first time he asks whether you want to try for the [[Item:Mano Vanquisher Medal|Mano Vanquisher Medal]]; say yes to start.

* Each medal asks you to defeat one boss '''100 times'''. You work on one medal at a time, in round order, starting with Mano.
* A defeat counts only on a '''solo''' floor, and only when you then use the floor's portal to open the door. Defeating the boss and leaving does not count. Party floors never count.
* Talk to So Gong again to check: he tells you how many defeats are left, or gives you the medal when you have 100. The count then starts over for the next boss.
* After all 32 he says ''You have completed all medals challenges.''

== Records ==
Your dojo record belongs to your character and is kept between visits: your training points, your recorded rest floor, whether you have beaten So Gong, and your medal progress. Only solo climbs can be recorded.

== Tips ==
* '''Learn the Mano floor.''' The first medal needs 100 Mano defeats on the solo 1st floor, and each one only counts once you open the door.
* '''Record at every rest floor you may not get past.''' A record lets you skip the floors below it next time, but continuing erases it, so record again on the next rest floor.
* '''Save the bar for the hard floors.''' Energy carries from floor to floor until you leave, so a full bar can wait for a boss that needs Invincibility or Power Explosion.
* '''Watch the clock, not the floor.''' The time is for the whole stretch, so a slow early floor costs time on the later ones.
* '''Party climbs pay less''' (one point less per floor) and never count towards medals; solo climbs are better for belts and medals.
