The Evil Snake Cloak is an armour in Metin2 that – like all armours in the game – exists for each of the five playable classes: Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, Sura and Lycan. A key game principle: The stats of all class variants of this armour are 100% identical. What differs is solely the name and visual appearance. So if you prefer a particular class, you won't have to make compromises with the Evil Snake Cloak's base stats.
What is the Evil Snake Cloak?
In Metin2's armour system, each class has its own variant of every armour tier – including the Evil Snake Cloak. The five class variants of this armour have different names depending on the character and look different, but offer exactly the same base stats. This is a deliberate design principle in Metin2: class balance at the armour level is ensured by stats being class-independent.
Armours in Metin2 are one of the most important equipment categories for every character. They largely determine survivability in PvE and PvP. The Evil Snake Cloak fits into the broad range of armours available through merchants, monster drops and other means.
Class Variants Overview
Metin2 distinguishes armours based on the five playable classes. Each class has its own designation for the same armour tier. The stats are always the same – this also applies to the Evil Snake Cloak and all comparable armours in the game.
| Class | Armour Type | Stats Compared to Other Classes |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Warrior/Armour | Identical |
| Ninja | Ninja/Armour | Identical |
| Shaman | Shaman/Armour | Identical |
| Sura | Sura/Armour | Identical |
| Lycan | Lycan/Armour | Identical |
Where to Get the Evil Snake Cloak
Armours in Metin2 can be obtained in various ways. Basically, the following sources are available:
- Armour Merchants: The game features dedicated armour merchants (also called Armor Shop Dealers) where certain armours can be purchased directly. Depending on the armour tier and game progress, different merchants are responsible.
- Monster Drops: Armours can drop from monsters and Metins as loot. Which monsters drop the Evil Snake Cloak depends on the current game stage.
- Player Trading: Since Metin2 has an active player market, the armour can also be traded with other players or purchased on the marketplace.
- Armour Blueprint / Crafting: The game features armour blueprints (Armour Design) that allow you to craft specific armours. There are also special variants such as the helmet blueprint. These blueprints allow you to deliberately craft certain armour items.
Upgrading and Improving Armours
As with all armours in Metin2: The Evil Snake Cloak can be improved through various game mechanics. Metin2 offers an extensive upgrade system that enhances armours through forging, reinforcement and other methods. Basically, it's advisable to only improve an armour with resources once it matches your current game progress – resources invested too early can be wasted if a better armour tier becomes available soon.
For upgrading in Metin2, you typically need specific materials and Yang (the in-game currency). Blacksmith NPCs in the various towns are available for this purpose.
Metin2's Armour System – Basics
The armour system in Metin2 is clearly structured: Each of the five classes – Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, Sura and Lycan – has its own armour category. Within these categories, there are various armour tiers that become more relevant as your character progresses. The key takeaway from the official wiki: The stats of all class variants of an armour tier are 100% identical. This means a Ninja with the Evil Snake Cloak has the same armour stats as a Warrior with their variant of the same armour tier.
This balance decision ensures that class choice isn't influenced by armour stats. Players can freely choose their favourite class without having to worry about equipment disadvantages.
Tips for Optimal Use
- Class doesn't matter for stats: Since all class variants have identical stats, there's no point switching classes just for the armour.
- Check merchants first: Before investing resources into monster farming, it's worth checking the armour merchant – some armour tiers are available there directly.
- Consider armour blueprints: If you're into crafting, you can use armour blueprints to craft specific armours instead of waiting for random drops.
- Upgrade only when armour tier is stable: Invest upgrade resources only when the current armour tier remains relevant for a longer gaming phase.
- Use the player market: Through player-to-player trading, armours can often be obtained faster and more cheaply than through pure farming.
