# Reborn
A beginner's guide to Reborn / Reverse, Imprints, gems, and equipment.
## π What is Reborn / Reverse?
**Reborn**, also called **Reverse**, unlocks a separate progression system with its own **levels**, **Imprints**, **equipment**, **gems**, and **inventory**.
Your regular character level still has a maximum of **1700**. For regular EXP farming, see [Rush Max level](/rufianmuv7/rufian-mu-guides/rush-max-level.md).
## β Step 1 β Prepare your character
Before activating Reborn, complete these requirements:
| Requirement | What you need |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Character level | **1000 or higher** |
| Combat power | **12,000,000 CP or higher** |
| Character wings | **Wings Level 13** |
| Sub-Class equipment | **Equip all your Sub-Classes** |
π Need equipment for your Sub-Classes? Redeem **starterpack**, open its rewards, then switch to each Sub-Class and equip the matching gear. See [How to redeem giftcodes](/rufianmuv7/rufian-mu-guides/giftcode-list.md#how-to-redeem-giftcodes) and [Sub-Class guide](/rufianmuv7/rufian-mu-guides/sub-class.md).
**Wings Level 13 refers to your character wings**, rather than the level of a Fashion Wings collection.
## πͺ Step 2 β Activate Reborn
Open the **Reborn introduction** and tap **I want to rebirth**.
Open the Reborn introduction and tap I want to rebirth.
The next screen shows your requirements. Complete any requirement shown in **red**, then tap **I want to rebirth** again.
If you see **βyou need to equip all subclasses!β**, return to your Sub-Classes and equip their gear before trying again.
Check Level 1000, CP 12,000,000, Wings Level 13, and equipment for all Sub-Classes.
## π Step 3 β Progress through the Reborn stages
The first activation unlocks **Reborn level 60**, **100 Imprint points**, and the Reborn equipment system and map. Later stages raise your Reborn level limit:
| Stage | Requirements | New Reborn level limit | Stage Imprint points |
| ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | -------------------- |
| **1** | Level **1000**, **12,000,000 CP**, **Wings Level 13**, and equipment for all Sub-Classes | **60** | **100** |
| **2** | Reborn level **60**, Achievement level **16**, and Military Rank level **16** | **140** | **200** |
| **3** | Reborn level **140**, **20,000,000 CP**, and Book of Merlin level **16** | **240** | **300** |
When you reach your stage's level limit, complete the next stage's requirements to continue.
## β¨ Choose your Imprints
Open **Brand New** to choose your **main and secondary Imprints**. Imprints add elemental attack and protection. The five types are: 
* Sacred Imprints (Light DMG)
* Shadow Imprints (Dark DMG)
* Natural Imprints (Nature DMG)
* Chaos Imprints (Chaos DMG)
* Nightmare Imprints (Spirit DMG)
After choosing your Imprints, use your **Reborn points** to improve them. Reborn stages and levels grant points.
The panel shows your chosen element's damage, damage absorption, and protection. Upgrade the available options and check the requirements for the next level. If you want to change your Imprints, the reset option uses **Diamonds** and returns the points you spent.
The main Imprint also affects which elemental damage you can absorb:
| Main Imprint | Absorbs damage from |
| ------------ | ------------------- |
| Sacred | Shadow |
| Shadow | Nature |
| Nature | Chaos |
| Chaos | Nightmare |
| Nightmare | Sacred |
The panel includes:
* **Damage absorption** 
* **Elemental damage** 
* **Elemental protection** 
## πΊοΈ Level up in Dark New Land
Enter **Dark New Land**, the Reborn map, and defeat monsters to earn **Reborn EXP**. This raises your Reborn level. Your regular character level and your Reborn level are separate.
Monsters have elemental weaknesses. Match your elemental damage to their weakness when possible. The map has several lines: **lines 1 and 2 are peaceful**, while **lines 3β5 allow combat modes**.
Keep farming monsters to build your kill combo and gain its EXP benefits. Reborn EXP has daily limits, so return regularly to continue progressing.
## π Use the New Born Bag
Open **New Born Bag** to see your Reborn equipment and resources. These are used for **equipment upgrades**, **gem crafting**, and other Reborn improvements.
## π¨ Open the Reborn Smelter
Tap a piece of your **Reborn equipment** to open the **Reborn Smelter**. Use the tabs below to add sockets, craft gems, insert gems, and upgrade equipment.
### 1. Equipment β open gem sockets
Use **Godsman Cone** to create gem sockets on Reborn equipment. A socket is a slot where you place a gem.
You can use the drilling item again to improve **socket quality**. Better sockets increase the attributes provided by the inserted gem. Check the socket's color and displayed bonus.
### 2. Gemstones β craft your gems
Gems add **elemental attack and defense** to your equipment. Choose gems that support your selected Imprints.
There are gems for all five elements:
* Sacred Imprints (Light DMG)
* Shadow Imprints (Dark DMG)
* Natural Imprints (Nature DMG)
* Chaos Imprints (Chaos DMG)
* Nightmare Imprints (Spirit DMG)
Craft gems from **level 1 to level 10**. Higher levels grant better attributes and need more crafting resources. Select a gem in the panel to see its exact cost before crafting.
### 3. Insert Soul Stone β equip your gems
Open **Insert Soul Stone**, select the equipment and an available socket, then insert the gem you crafted. Check the element and the resulting attributes.
### 4. Combine β upgrade equipment tiers
**Unequip** the Reborn item and put it in the **New Born Bag**. Open **Combine**, choose the upgrade, and check the required equipment and resources. Confirm to create the next tier.
Recipes use **Quenching**, **Forging**, and/or **Nirvana** points. The required amount depends on the piece and tier. Inserted gems carry over when equipment is upgraded.
## π‘οΈ Reborn equipment set bonuses
Reborn armor and accessories form **two separate sets**:
* **Armor:** Helm, Armor, Gloves, Pants, and Boots β **5 pieces**.
* **Accessories:** Necklace and two Rings β **3 pieces**.
Use the appropriate **Reverse Set Stones** to activate set effects. The available qualities are **Normal**, **Nebula**, and **Starlight**. The bonus depends on wearing the required number of matching pieces; when several qualities qualify, only the highest applicable effect is used.
Check the set panel after changing or upgrading a piece so you know which bonuses are active.
## β Simple order to follow
**Meet the activation requirements β Activate Reborn β Choose Imprints β Farm Reborn EXP β Upgrade sockets and gems β Combine equipment β Unlock the next stage.**
