Introduction

<page under construction>

Hello I'm Sophie/Joan (Guide Date: 4/Sep/2025). You would see me often AFK in the center of Prontera/Gonryun/Garden of Time with my Soul Ascetic (SA) char R.ClickToRename254519 or other characters. This guide is merely what I do with my characters and I do not claim to be the best at this, in fact there are many other people better at this who, from time to time, posted in MuhRO discord, showing myriads of previously unexplored combinations and elegant theming born from boundless creativity and refined taste (also feel free to dm me on discord/In-game if you can improve upon mine we can talk about this all day lol). I just simply tried to write it out, because I think frequently there are people asking which combination is better? A or B combinations etc, while it is hard to give convincing or objective opinion on this without offending or sounding like a snob because it is simply hard to explain things without a common ground. Also that I am sure discussion demands regarding this matter from both new and old players are as high as ever (as of 4/Sep/2025) and also that I saw many new previously unavailable and previously exclusive costumes rapidly being added and made available within the last 3-4 months, in fact there is so many of them after the costume revamp just around the earlier part of this Year of the Lord 2025.

Lastly and most importantly, I have to state that here: there's not a single Holy Grail of the best or universally perfect costume, so much so that that you should always strive to find and create the better combination design and to endlessly experiment while talking it out with your fellow AFK friends and fellow enthusiasts. To help with the said communication attempt/discussion, I would hope that the guide would provide a common ground of at least one conceptual framework (while there are many other more avantgarde frameworks/practical methods developed within the last 20-30 years alone in the field of Visual Design and Communication, in fact the methodology I wrote in this guide is considered the most basic and old one) or for personal betterment, to obtain a school of thought to make it possible for oneself to silently be able to adore and appreciate character designs that others have been meticulously worked on. And allow one to confidently jump in any of related topics and hopefully not to be looked down as a mere simpleton but as fellow people of culture. All in all, after reading this guide it is my greatest wish that the communication (as someone said "DM is the Key") between fellow enthusiasts and appreciators would hopefully be more smooth and structuralized and also for everyone to stay cute and handsome. The exception might be if you want to flex your rare expensive costumes and wouldn't mind looking overall tasteless or looking jagged or overwhelming for other purposes (and one of the purpose might be making other people lag on your farming maps).

Scope/For whom this guide is intended for

End game utilization guide of nice to have and fun to wear things for those players whom have reached the true end game, whom have collected most, if not all the server's best costumes that came with various rarities (and even some server-wide unique by-request ones) and of unbelievable amount whose collections fills up an entire storage or maybe even more. But well as Sun Tzu once said, "It is useless to have a large army, without knowing how to command them" and such I hope with this guide it would be easier to sort out what items will or will not work within your arsenal and avoid the trap of: Rare/Expensive = Good. It is simply not. What matters the most is the utilization.

This guide is very subjective and intuitive as I do not provide exact judgement and detailed appreciation of which why some costumes or stones might or might not work as well for mine or your in-game character's designs, but for that case you can find me to test out or experiment with any costumes/effect stone that are listed/mentioned within this guide, unless I specifically stated to not have them. In this guide you are assumed to have already bought Alternate Costume Coupon (for some jobs with not too well made 4th job's skin) or is in progress to do so and don't mind spending on this matter (or is saving up), have bought Pet Disguise Coins whenever it suits the entire palette combination, and/or at one point have accumulated and cashed out thousands of FP (Fashion Points) for effect stones via slot machine NPC on the @go main second floor (because those effect stones are more important than jobs stones amirite).

While hopefully able to simplify and covers the most basics of basics conceptually speaking, one thing to state about the scope of this guide is its limitation: that there are certainly better methods for designing and conceptualizing more complex schemes (e.g. animated costumes/animated stone effect as the highlight) and so this guide will not cover those more advanced field of practical applications, because it will require far more complex fundamentals and practical experiences, of which I don't think I have enough. And it would be night impossible to make myself able to accurately write something that complex, while trying to keep guide fun and lightweight, at least for the state that I am now. Also lastly you are required to have the drive and tenacity to spend hours at a time just to find the perfect cloth colour on Dr. Style NPC (this is a warning).

True End Game optimization problem is that for some people culturally, some costumes/effect stones setups suit them better as it simply satisfy the specifics of their personal styles and currently owned assets (e.g. you don't know what will you win from your Costume Reward Box Summer (41010) ), so we will not assume a narrow-minded stance on this issue and would tolerate a bit lesser mismatch and whatnots as long as things work well (shout out to get the costume envy immunity people!).
