What Are the Biologist Quests?

The Biologist Quests are one of the most important long-term mechanics in Metin2. They are given by the NPC Baek-Go, a researcher found in each of the three kingdoms. His tasks are simple in description yet significant in effect: he sends you out to collect specific items from monsters and rewards you with permanent bonuses to your character.

Unlike ordinary quests that offer one-off experience or item rewards, the Biologist Quests build upon one another. Each completed tier makes your character permanently stronger — regardless of equipment or level. Anyone who wants to play Metin2 seriously cannot afford to ignore Baek-Go.

Why the Biologist Quests Matter So Much

The permanent bonuses you receive through the Biologist Quests stack across all completed tiers. This means a character who has finished the Biologist quest line is noticeably stronger than one of the same level who has not — even with identical equipment.

The bonuses include, amongst others:

Attack power (physical and magical)
Defence against various damage types
Maximum hit points (HP)
Maximum mana points (MP)
Movement speed
Attack and movement pace

Particularly in the endgame, where every percentage point counts, fully completed Biologist Quests can make the difference between success and defeat.

Quest Mechanic Explained

The process of a Biologist Quest is always the same: Baek-Go gives you a task, you farm the required items from specific monsters, hand them in to him, and receive your bonus. A cooldown of 1 to 24 hours then follows before you can start the next quest or continue the current one.

Step by Step

Speak to Baek-Go and accept the current quest
Farm the required items from the named monsters
Return to Baek-Go and hand in the items
Receive your permanent bonus
Wait for the cooldown to expire (1–24 hours depending on the tier)
Repeat with the next tier

This sounds straightforward — and it is. The challenge lies in farming the items, particularly at higher tiers where rarer monsters or specific drops are required.

Biologist Tiers at a Glance

The quest line begins at level 30 and extends well into the endgame (level 90+). Each tier raises the requirements, but also the quality of the rewards.

Tier	Level Requirement	Typical Items	Rewards
Tiers 1–3	From Lv. 30	Basic mob drops, animal hides, bones	Attack +X, Defence +X
Tiers 4–6	From Lv. 50	Rarer monster drops, special organs	HP +X, MP +X, larger attack bonuses
Tiers 7–9	From Lv. 70	Dungeon drops, boss materials	Significant combined bonuses, resistances
Tier 10+	From Lv. 90	Endgame items, rare boss drops	Maximum permanent improvements

Optimal Farming Strategy

Efficient Biologist farming means knowing the right areas for the required items. General tips that apply to all tiers:

Early Tiers (Lv. 30–50)

The required items drop from common monsters in the starting areas. Farming here is comparatively simple — you will often obtain the items as a by-product of levelling. Recommended areas are the monster-dense zones near the main cities.

Mid Tiers (Lv. 50–75)

From this point, more specific items are needed. Check the community or fan sites in advance to find out which monsters drop the required items, so as not to waste time. Group farming with other players can be more efficient here.

High Tiers (Lv. 75+)

Dungeon-specific items and boss drops become relevant. These tiers require either regular dungeon runs or a functioning trade network with other players who have the relevant items to offer.

General Tips

Pet with Loot Bonus: Certain pets increase the drop rate — use these when farming for Biologist quests.
Happy Hour: Drop rates increase during certain events or times — plan your farming accordingly.
Build up a stockpile: Farm more items than required so you are already prepared for the next tier.
Use the cooldown wisely: Do not wait the cooldown out idly — level up, farm other items, or complete other quests.

Cooldown Management

The cooldown between hand-ins is between 1 and 24 hours depending on the tier. This means the Biologist quest line is not a marathon session but a daily ritual. Experienced players build Baek-Go into their daily play routine:

On login: Check whether the cooldown has expired, accept the new quest
Farm during the normal play session
Before logging off: Hand in and start the cooldown
Repeat the next day

Anyone who follows this pattern consistently will make substantial progress through the quest line over weeks and months — without any extra effort.
