The Alpine Rose is an herb item in Metin2 and belongs to potion crafting. This guide explains what Alpine Roses are used for, which NPC processes them, and how they fit into the herbalism chain of juices, mixtures, dew and elixirs.
What is the Alpine Rose in Metin2?
The Alpine Rose is an herb item with the function of potion crafting. In herbalism, it is not a base herb for simple juices. It is used later in the manufacturing chain when already-produced mixtures are processed further.
The Alpine Rose is also connected to the quest "Power Up/Part 4: The Millennium Recipe" at level 93. It does not appear as a search item in the early biologist investigations of Chaegirab.
Where do you get Alpine Roses?
Alpine Roses can come from various enemies and source entries. These include, among others:
- Brutal Summoner
- Brutal Scorpion Man
- Evil Tree
- Dragon Guardian Idall
- En-Tai Lord
- Flame Spirit
- Ghost Tree
- Hydra's Treasure
- Hell Butcher
- Claw Spider

For Metins and chests, there is no entry listed for the Alpine Rose.
What is the Alpine Rose used for?
The Alpine Rose is used at Huahn-So for Zin Water and SamBo Water.
| Result | Materials | NPC | Level | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zin Water | 1× Sim Water, 1× Alpine Rose | Huahn-So | 46 | Attack +50 for 3 minutes |
| SamBo Water | 1× Dok Water, 1× Alpine Rose | Huahn-So | 48 | Defence +70 for 3 minutes |
Alpine Roses are therefore not processed by all herbalism NPCs in general. Huahn-So is responsible for these recipes.
Herbalism in Metin2
Herbalism consists of two separate basic areas: potion crafting and research.
In potion crafting, herbs and intermediate products are processed into potions. This includes juices, mixtures, dew and elixirs. This crafting is carried out via herbalism NPCs.
Research herbs, on the other hand, belong to specific tasks of the biologist Chaegirab. They are not processed into potions, but are collected during the respective quest and submitted to the biologist.
Herbalism NPCs
For potion crafting, there are several NPCs. They differ in which recipes they can produce.
| NPC | Location / Area | Function in Herbalism |
|---|---|---|
| Baek-Go | Village 1 / Map1 | Juices |
| Yu-Hwan | Village 2 / Map2 | Juices and Mixtures |
| Huahn-So | Village 2 / Map2 and Donga Plains | Juices, Mixtures, Advanced Herbalism and Elemental Herbalism |
Baek-Go produces juices. The herbalism option is linked to the quest "Ingredient for Medicine" with him. For potion brewing at Baek-Go, level 15 is mentioned.
Yu-Hwan produces juices and mixtures. He is located in Village 2 or Map2.
Huahn-So is responsible for the higher areas of herbalism. He produces juices, mixtures, recipes for advanced herbalism and recipes for elemental herbalism. Potions can only be produced at him from level 48 onwards, because he is not clickable before then.
How does Potion Crafting work?
To craft potions, you speak to an appropriate herbalism NPC. Then you select the option "Herbalism". In the herbalism window, the required materials are inserted and confirmed with "OK".
Potion brewing costs no Yang. Only the respective materials are required.
With the command /cube make all, all herbs in the herbalism window can be automatically converted into potions.
Herbalism as a Production Chain
Potion crafting is structured in stages. Many recipes use not only raw herbs, but also already-produced potions from previous steps.
The basic chain is:
| Area | Principle | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Juices | Individual herbs are processed into simple potions. | Peach Blossom Juice, Bellflower Juice, Persimmon Blossom Juice, Gango Root Juice |
| Mixtures | Juices or earlier mixtures are combined with additional herbs. | Sim Water, Dok Water, Bo Water, Young Water, Zin Water, SamBo Water |
| Advanced Herbalism | Mixtures are processed into dew. | Orange Dew, Red Dew, Blue Dew, White Dew, Green Dew, Yellow Dew |
| Elemental Herbalism | Empty elixirs are processed into elixirs with elemental materials. | Strength Elixirs, Resistance Elixirs, Moonlight Elixir |
The Alpine Rose is located in this chain at the mixtures. It is not processed directly into a juice. Instead, it is combined with already-produced mixtures: Sim Water and Alpine Rose produce Zin Water, Dok Water and Alpine Rose produce SamBo Water.
Juices
Juices are the foundation of potion crafting. They are created from individual herbs such as Peach Blossom, Bellflower, Persimmon Blossom or Gango Root.
Juices can be produced at Baek-Go, Yu-Hwan and Huahn-So.
Mixtures
Mixtures use already-produced juices and additional herbs. These include Sim Water, Dok Water, Bo Water and Young Water.
Later mixtures in turn use already-produced mixtures or water potions as materials. These also include Zin Water and SamBo Water, for which Alpine Rose is required.
Advanced Herbalism
Advanced herbalism includes dew recipes. These use additional materials such as water and empty bottles as well as already-produced potions from herbalism.
Examples include Orange Dew, Red Dew, Blue Dew, White Dew, Yellow Dew and Green Dew.
Elemental Herbalism
Elemental herbalism includes elemental elixirs. These recipes use empty elixirs and elemental materials.
Examples include Strength Elixirs, Resistance Elixirs and Moonlight Elixir.
Biologist Chaegirab and Research Herbs
The biologist Chaegirab is located on Map1. Between level 4 and level 25, there are several tasks where specific herbs are collected.
These herbs carry the designation Research. They differ from normal herbs for potion crafting.
Early search items include:
- Peach Blossom
- Bellflower
- Persimmon Blossom
- Gango Root
- Lilac
- Tue Mushroom
These quest herbs can only be obtained from the specified monsters during the respective quest. The submission can fail, as not every herb is suitable.
Difference between Potion Crafting and Research
The main difference lies in the item category.
| Category | Usage | Processing |
|---|---|---|
| Potion Crafting | Production of juices, mixtures, dew and elixirs | Herbalism NPCs |
| Research | Submission for biologist tasks | Biologist Chaegirab |
The Alpine Rose belongs to potion crafting. It is processed at Huahn-So and is not a search item in the early biologist investigations.
