Season 3 is where level 400 stopped being the end. Master Level replaced ordinary levelling with a point-driven skill tree, the Summoner arrived from her sheltered home of Elbeland with two contracted beasts and a book of curses, and the 3.0+ patch that followed widened the trees, added two more curses, the Wings of Dimension and the Swamp of Tranquility.
Master Level
Under the old system 400 was the ceiling: a character who hit 400 and finished the 3rd class change could not grow at all. Master Level is the answer — a second growth track that runs on its own experience bar and its own points.

The master skill trees
Four trees per class, with the Master Level, points and experience along the top.
Each class has four trees — one shared shape across all of them, but with class-specific names. Points can be spent selectively, and class skills can only be enhanced by the class that owns them.

The Summoner
The Summoner — the first new female character after the Elf.
The Summoner is a ranged magic class who fights with curses and summoned beasts: she cuts the enemy's firepower down while raising her party's. Her people are a closed, insular race with a noble bloodline and a natural gift for sorcery; they can reach into other dimensions through the Book of the Other Realm to summon and command mythical beasts, and their honed Third Eye reads an enemy's weakness at a glance.

Bloody Summoner
Dimension Master
Style
How she plays
Solo
Shorter range than a Dark Wizard's area skills, but curses make hunting fast. She burns more mana than a wizard, so mana management matters
Party
Debuffs drop the enemy's stats; an Energy Elf plus a Summoner in the same party is the maximum-firepower setup
PvP
Curses plus attack skills. As a caster she is weak to melee characters
Quest maps
Area curses combined with area attacks clear them well
Castle Siege
A siege debuff that drops the stats of many enemies at once
Summoner pets and skills
Two spirits from another dimension, summoned through their books.
A pet is summoned by equipping the Book of the Other Realm that holds its contract.
Beast
Who it is
Sahamutt
Leader of the Mute tribe of Lanayru, protecting his pack with speed and sharp teeth. Usually peaceful, he turns into a ferocious warrior when his clan is threatened — they call him the Night Hunter
Neil
A sacred beast of the religion of Tenes, serving the goddess Tenes and taking the form of a woman. Usually gentle and respected, but merciless towards men who worship Akum
Each beast brings its own skill.
Pet skill
What it does
Explosion
Sahamutt charges the enemy in a suicide attack, leaving it burning and losing HP continuously
Requiem
Neil attacks with a sharp blade, opening a large wound that bleeds for continuous damage
Life Drain, Chain Lightning, and the Damage Reflection and Sleep effects.
Skill
Type
What it does
Life Drain
Attack
Steals the enemy's health to refill your own
Chain Lightning
Attack
Fires 3 lightning strikes. With no other targets nearby, all 3 hit the same enemy
Damage Reflection
Buff
Applied to yourself or another player. Its strength scales with the Summoner's Energy
Sleep
Curse
Puts one enemy to sleep until it is attacked
She also shares Fireball, Power Wave, Meteor and Ice with the Dark Wizard.
Summoner gear
Four sticks for the right hand, two books for the left.
Item
Lore
Mystery Stick
Cut from the Camillus, the tree called the divine tree. Used mainly for exorcism and warding, it carries an ancient spell left in the wood by 'Semerun' that doubles its effect
Violent Wind Stick
A spirit stone, the Heaven's Eye, is set dead centre. The wind sleeping in it raises a gale every time the stick is swung
Red Wing Stick
Shaped after the phoenix, the symbol of an immortal soul. The fire in it makes the stick dangerous — control the magic badly and it can reduce you to ashes
Ancient Stick
Favoured by the ancient spirit-handlers who stood between gods and demons before the MU continent existed. Marked with patterns nobody can decipher
Book of Sahamutt
Left hand. A book of the other realm holding the contract spell of the flame beast Sahamutt
Book of Neil
Left hand. A book of the other realm holding the contract spell of Neil, the holy maiden of blood
Violent Wind, Red Wing and Ancient.
Set
Lore
Violent Wind
Armour holding the breath of the wind, worked with the high-spirit gemstone Heaven's Eye. It lightens the body and forms a windbreak that lets attacks slide off
Red Wing
Made mainly from phoenix feathers, the symbol of immortality. It carries both magic and spirit power, and failing to control the two at once lets Red Wing's heat devour you
Ancient
Armour inscribed with ancient spells, a legacy of the people who lived before the MU continent. The patterns amplify magic enormously and the spell protects the wearer's body
Wing of Misery, Wing of Despair, and the Eye of the Abyss quest item.

Both cost 1 HP per successful attack — the Summoner pays for her wings in blood. Her ordinary gear is the shared low-tier list: Kris, Short Sword, Rapier, Small Axe, Hand Axe, Fairy Axe and Skull Staff. The Eye of the Abyss is used in the second quest of her 1st class change.
Elbeland
Elbeland — concept art and the finished map.
Elbeland is where the Summoner's race went after abandoning their old home to escape the watch of Kundun and Lemuria. A powerful protective barrier wraps the whole region for the safety of the race, and it is the first place a newly created Summoner sees.

Weakness

Innervation

Both are curses, so their success chance moves with the additional curse power on the equipped Book of the Other Realm — and applying one to a target that already carries a curse removes the old one.
Wings of Dimension — the Summoner's 3rd class wings.

The Sapi are man-eaters in the shape of beautiful women: Sapi-unus lures prey with a sweet scent across a one-kilometre radius, Sapi-duo is its grown form with a sweeter scent and a wider reach, and Sapi-tress is the cruellest of them — the spines on its arms evolved to stop prey escaping, and it sings while it hunts. The Shadows are masses formed from the pent-up thoughts of dead pirates, with Shadow Pawn the lowest, Shadow Knight its ice-attacking evolution and Shadow Look above that. The Napin are fallen tree spirits who will hurt anyone to protect the swamp; Ghost Napin has had its will stolen by spirits, and Blaze Napin leads the corrupted ones.

Season 3 at a glance
Master Level replaces levelling past 400, with experience from monsters of level 95 and above.
Each class has four master trees; ranks 1-8 go five stages deep and rank 9 needs two trees at rank 8.
New class: the Summoner, a curse caster with two contracted beasts, starting in Elbeland.
Elbeland is a full starter zone, from the level 4 Bizarre Rabbit to the level 48 Beast Ussi Chief.
Season 3.0+ adds 17 more master skills, the Weakness and Innervation curses and the Wings of Dimension.
The Swamp of Tranquility opens at level 400 with nine monsters from level 95 to 107.
