What are the best weapons at Level 75?
For the best-in-slot setup at Level 75, the so-called level 75 weapons are the decisive items. These weapons can be equipped from Level 30 onwards, but they reach their full potential in the endgame. Each weapon has a random bonus or penalty to average damage (AVG DMG) and skill damage (SKILL DMG). The rule is: a particularly high AVG DMG value always comes at the expense of the SKILL DMG value – and vice versa. The goal is to find a weapon with the ratio that is optimal for your own build.
Maximum values are ±60% average damage and ±30% skill damage. The highest AVG DMG value recorded so far was on a Hawk Claw (a level 70 weapon) with 60%.
All Level 75 Weapons by Class
Not every class can equip every weapon. The following table shows which level 75 weapon is available for which class:
| Weapon | Equippable by | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Poison Sword | Warrior, Ninja, Sura | Sword |
| Wrath Sword | Warrior | Sword |
| Devil Wing Chakram | Ninja | Throwing Weapon |
| Crow Steel Bow | Ninja | Bow |
| Orchid Bell | Shaman | Bell |
| Thorn Claw | Lycan | Claw |
AVG DMG and SKILL DMG: The Core Mechanic of Level 75 Weapons
The most important feature of level 75 weapons is the AVG DMG/SKILL DMG system. Both values are linked together and form an inverse relationship:
- Average Damage (AVG DMG): Can range between -60% and +60%. Affects normal attack damage.
- Skill Damage (SKILL DMG): Can range between -30% and +30%. Affects damage from all class skills.
- When AVG DMG rises positively, SKILL DMG drops negatively – and vice versa.
- If a value is exactly 0, it is not displayed in the game.
For skill builds that rely heavily on skill damage, a weapon with high positive SKILL DMG is optimal – even if a negative AVG DMG is accepted. For auto-attack builds, the opposite applies: maximum AVG DMG with negative SKILL DMG is desired.
Level 70 Weapons as an Alternative
In addition to pure level 75 weapons, there are two level 70 weapons that use the same AVG DMG/SKILL DMG system and are thus also relevant for best-in-slot considerations:
| Weapon | Equippable by | Speciality |
|---|---|---|
| Lion Sword | Sura | Level 70, AVG DMG/SKILL DMG system like level 75 |
| Hawk Claw | Lycan | Highest recorded AVG DMG value: 60% |
Particularly the Hawk Claw is remarkable: the highest recorded AVG DMG value of 60% was documented on it. For Lycans that focus on average damage, it can therefore be an extremely powerful option.
Which Weapon is Best-in-Slot for My Class?
The answer always depends on your individual build. Here is an overview by class:
- Warrior: Has access to Poison Sword and Wrath Sword. Skill Warriors tend towards the SKILL DMG-strong Poison Sword, whilst physically-oriented builds prefer the Wrath Sword depending on the AVG DMG value.
- Ninja: Three options – Poison Sword, Devil Wing Chakram, Crow Steel Bow. The choice depends on your playstyle (melee vs. ranged) and the AVG DMG/SKILL DMG value of the available weapon.
- Sura: Can equip the Poison Sword. Suras without access to a strong level 75 weapon turn to the Lion Sword (level 70), which uses the same system.
- Shaman: The only option is the Orchid Bell. Everything revolves around finding the best AVG DMG/SKILL DMG ratio for your own Shaman build.
- Lycan: Thorn Claw (level 75) or Hawk Claw (level 70). The Hawk Claw with its known peak value of 60% AVG DMG makes it particularly attractive for AVG DMG-oriented Lycans.
Tips: What to Look Out for When Buying or Farming?
Since the AVG DMG/SKILL DMG value is random, you should keep the following points in mind:
- Check the value: Always check the specific AVG DMG and SKILL DMG value of an offered weapon. If the entry is missing entirely, it does not necessarily mean 0 – if it is exactly 0, it is simply not displayed.
- Build priority: Decide before buying whether your build benefits more from high AVG DMG or high SKILL DMG. A weapon with the wrong ratio can weaken your character instead of strengthening it.
- Market observation: Weapons with extreme values (close to ±60% AVG DMG or ±30% SKILL DMG) are much rarer and correspondingly more expensive in player trading.
- Not a display error: If a value is not displayed, it is exactly 0 – this is not a bug.
Frequently Asked Questions About Level 75 Weapons in Metin2
From what level can I equip the level 75 weapons?
The level 75 weapons can be equipped from level 30 onwards, even though their name suggests level 75. This makes them theoretically interesting for lower levels as well, provided you can obtain one.
What does AVG DMG and SKILL DMG mean on level 75 weapons?
AVG DMG stands for average damage, SKILL DMG stands for skill damage. Both values are random on level 75 weapons and run counter to each other: a high positive AVG DMG automatically means a negative SKILL DMG – and vice versa. The maximum AVG DMG value is ±60%, the maximum SKILL DMG value is ±30%.
Why is the AVG DMG/SKILL DMG value not displayed on my weapon?
If the value on the weapon is exactly 0, it is not displayed in the game. This is not a bug, but a design decision. Check the value using item comparisons if necessary, or ask the seller directly.
Which class has the most weapon options among the level 75 weapons?
The Ninja has the most options among level 75 weapons with the Poison Sword, Devil Wing Chakram and Crow Steel Bow.
Is the Hawk Claw better than the Thorn Claw for Lycans?
The Hawk Claw is a level 70 weapon, but uses the same AVG DMG/SKILL DMG system as level 75 weapons. The highest recorded AVG DMG value of 60% was measured on a Hawk Claw. Which weapon is better depends on the individual value of the respective weapon and your own build.
Can the Shaman use level 75 weapons?
Yes, the Shaman can equip the Orchid Bell. This is the only level 75 weapon available for Shamans.
Are there level 75 weapons for the Sura as well?
The Sura can equip the Poison Sword, which Warriors and Ninjas can also use. Additionally, there is the Lion Sword as a level 70 weapon with the same AVG DMG/SKILL DMG system exclusively for the Sura.
Is a level 75 weapon with negative AVG DMG worth it?
It depends on the build. Those who rely heavily on skill damage benefit from a positive SKILL DMG value – even if a negative AVG DMG is accepted. For pure auto-attack builds, negative AVG DMG is a clear disadvantage.
