The Avalonian Armour is an exclusive costume in Metin2, available exclusively in the Item Shop during special promotions – specifically during the Christmas Event. It comes in two colour variants (Red and Silver), is available for all playable classes including Lycaners, and can be purchased with or without bonus values. The costume is not tradeable, but supports the projection function.
What is the Avalonian Armour?
The Avalonian Armour falls into the category of costumes in Metin2. Costumes are visual outfits that are worn via the Costume System (introduced on 24 July 2012) and change the character's appearance without replacing their normal equipment. The Avalonian Armour is among the more sought-after event costumes because it features a medieval-fantasy-oriented knight design, available in two colour variants.
The costume is complemented by the matching Avalonian Helmet – also in Red and Silver – which completes the outfit. Both pieces are coordinated with each other and together form a complete set appearance.
Colour Variants Overview
The Avalonian Armour is available in exactly two colour variants. Each colour exists in both a male and female version, so there are four base variants in the game overall. Added to this are the versions with and without bonus, which further increases the actual total number of item variants.
| Colour | Gender | Matching Helmet | Available with Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red | Male (m) | Avalonian Helmet (red) | Yes ("+"-variant) |
| Red | Female (w) | Avalonian Helmet (red) | Yes ("+"-variant) |
| Silver | Male (m) | Avalonian Helmet (silver) | Yes ("+"-variant) |
| Silver | Female (w) | Avalonian Helmet (silver) | Yes ("+"-variant) |
Available Classes
The Avalonian Armour can be worn by all classes in Metin2 – including the Lycaners class, which is excluded from some costumes. This makes it one of the class-universal event costumes in the game.
| Class | Red (m) | Red (w) | Silver (m) | Silver (w) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warrior | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Ninja | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Sura | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Shaman | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Lycaners | ✔ (male only) | — | ✔ (male only) | — |
Note on the Lycaners Class: The Avalonian Armour is available for Lycaners exclusively as a male version in Red and Silver – a female Lycaners version of this costume is not planned.
Bonus Variants: With and Without "+"
The Avalonian Armour is available in two functional versions:
- Without Bonus: The standard version – purely cosmetic, without additional stat values.
- With Bonus ("+"-variant): This version is recognisable by the name, which carries a "+". It provides additional bonus values to the character.
The specific bonus values that the "+"-variant offers varies and should be checked in the Item Shop offering of the respective event. Those who wear the costume primarily for cosmetic reasons can get by with the simple variant. Those who value additional stats should specifically look for the "+"-version when the Christmas Event is active.
Projection: Transfer the Appearance to Other Items
The Avalonian Armour supports the projection function. This means: if you prefer the appearance of this costume but want to wear other costume items (e.g. because of their bonus values), you can transfer the appearance of the Avalonian Armour via projection to the equipped item.
Projection is an important feature in Metin2's Costume System, as it allows players to choose appearance and gameplay value independently of each other. This way you can wear the knight design of the Avalonian Armour even if another costume offers better bonus values.
Tradeability and Transfer
An important point for everyone who wants to obtain the costume via the marketplace or other players: The Avalonian Armour is not tradeable. This means:
- No sale via private shop
- No transfer via marketplace
- No transfer via player-to-player trading
The only way to obtain the Avalonian Armour is to purchase it directly from the Item Shop during a corresponding special promotion – usually the Christmas Event. If you miss the event, you'll have to wait for the next opportunity. It is therefore recommended to regularly follow the official Metin2 Events.
How to Obtain: Item Shop and Christmas Event
The Avalonian Armour is not a permanently available item. It appears in the Item Shop during special promotions, and the Christmas Event is a known source of it. In practice, this means:
- The costume is available in the Item Shop for a limited time.
- Purchase is not possible outside promotional periods.
- Since it is not tradeable, there is no alternative to direct shop purchase.
Players who specifically want the costume should regularly check the Item Shop during the Christmas Event and keep an eye on Gameforge's event communications. The exact availability period is announced by Gameforge each time.
The Costume System in Metin2
The Costume System was introduced to Metin2 on 24 July 2012 with a maintenance update. Costumes are managed in their own Costume Inventory, which exists separately from the normal inventory. Equipped costumes overlay the visual appearance of normal equipment without replacing or affecting it.
For the Avalonian Armour: it is equipped in the costume slot and is accessible via the Costume Inventory. The "+"-version provides additional bonus values on top. If you want to use the costume for projection, you need the corresponding projection item, which is also available in the game.
