What is this quest?
"The biologist's examination (Peach Blossom)" is a collection quest in Metin2 where you specifically obtain peach blossoms as quest items and hand them in to the biologist. The special thing about this quest – like all quests with special quest items – is that the required items only drop once you've already accepted the quest. If you farm beforehand, you're out of luck: the items won't appear in your inventory until the quest is running.
Quest items of this type are exclusively intended for quest progress and have no general market trading. You'll recognise them in the item overview under the category Quest Items.
Accept the quest – How to start
The first step is always to officially accept the quest from the biologist NPC. Only after accepting does the game begin to place the corresponding peach blossoms into your inventory when you kill suitable monsters. If you don't follow this order, you'll waste time pre-farming – the items won't drop.
You'll find the biologist in the game world as a quest giver. Talk to him and select the quest "The biologist's examination (Peach Blossom)" from the dialogue list. Confirm acceptance before you start collecting.
Farm peach blossoms – What you need to know
Peach blossoms are classic Metin2 quest items: they drop exclusively whilst the associated quest is active. This means:
- Accept the quest first, then farm – never the other way around.
- The items land automatically in your inventory once they drop from suitable enemies.
- Quest items generally cannot be traded – you must farm them yourself.
- Check your inventory space before you start farming: a full inventory prevents item drops.
Since wiki sources don't contain specific monster lists or drop rates for this quest, the general tip applies: stay in the area assigned to the quest giver and systematically kill the monsters found there.
Quest items in Metin2 – Basic rules
Quest items in Metin2 work according to a unified system. The official Quest Items wiki summarises it as follows: these items are specifically needed to complete quests, and most can only drop if you have the corresponding quest active.
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Drop requirement | Quest must be actively accepted |
| Tradeability | Usually not tradeable (player to player) |
| Inventory space | Full backpack prevents the drop |
| After handing in | Items are consumed / removed from inventory |
| Category in-game | Quest Items (separate item category) |
Hand in to the biologist – How to complete the quest
Once you've collected the required number of peach blossoms, return to the biologist NPC. Talk to him and select the option to hand in the quest. The game automatically checks whether you have the required amount in your inventory. If successful, the items are removed and you receive the quest reward plus quest points or experience, depending on the quest configuration.
Important: make sure you're speaking to the correct variant of the biologist quest – Metin2 has several biologist quests with different herbs. The peach blossom variant is clearly labelled. Mixing it up with other biologist quests (e.g. other blossoms or plant types) is a common beginner mistake.

Tips and common mistakes
To keep the quest running smoothly, observe the following points from community experience:
- Accept the quest before farming: The most common mistake of all. Without an active quest, no peach blossoms will drop.
- Tidy up your inventory: Reserve at least 1-2 free slots for quest items before you start farming.
- Choose the correct quest variant: The biologist NPC sometimes offers several quests – pay attention to the exact name "Peach Blossom".
- Don't abandon the quest: Abandoning a quest removes all already-collected quest items from your inventory. Starting from scratch costs time.
- Don't sell quest items: Quest items sometimes accidentally land in the merchant window – check what you have in your inventory before selling.
