Metin2 Christmas Event – Complete Guide 2024

The Metin2 Christmas event is an annual winter event that starts in December and encompasses several parallel running sub-events. Access begins from Level 1, whilst some events have higher level requirements. In total, four different events await you: the classic Christmas event, the Metin2 advent calendar, the snowflake event and the festive Okey event. The concrete running times vary depending on the sub-event and year.

Overview: All Sub-Events at a Glance

The Christmas event is not a single event, but a package of several simultaneously active systems. Each sub-event has its own mechanics, its own level requirements and its own rewards. Those who play all events simultaneously get the most out of the Christmas season.

Important: In the Festive Okey event, the event drop ends already one day before the official event end. Plan your farming accordingly early.

The Classic Christmas Event (from Level 1)

The core event of the Christmas season is accessible to all players from Level 1 – making it the most beginner-friendly of the four sub-events. The focal point is Father Christmas, who appears in the game and gives away items.

The most important mechanic: Once the corresponding quest item is in your inventory, certain items can be dropped by monsters. This means that normal levelling and farming during the event automatically brings event loot – without separate effort.

Father Christmas also functions as a trading NPC: 5x of the event item can be traded once every 24 hours for a reward. You should not forget this daily trade under any circumstances – the 24-hour reset makes consistent daily logging in particularly valuable.

Metin2 Advent Calendar (from Level 30)

The advent calendar is the event with the earliest deadline: it ends as early as 24 December at 23:59, well before the other events. In addition to Level 30, the completed Biologist Quest 1 is also required – those who have not yet completed this quest should do so in good time before the event starts.

Access is available through the Item Shop. There you can open a door of the advent calendar every day. Behind each door is an advent chest with a random item that will help with further game progression.

Critical Note: A missed door cannot be opened later. If you skip a day, you permanently lose the chance at that item. Daily login is particularly important for this event.

Snowflake Event (from Level 60)

The snowflake event is aimed at players with at least Level 60 and is the mechanically most complex of the Christmas sub-events. The core mechanic is the snowflake spell, which must first be obtained in order for event items to drop at all.

Equipped with the snowflake spell, monsters can be transformed into snowmen, who then drop event loot. The collected drops are then exchanged for rewards via the event UI.

A special feature of the snowflake spell: it grants the character additional buffs that make playing during the event more pleasant and efficient. Which buffs are active is shown in the event UI. This makes the snowflake spell a doubly useful tool – both for event progress and for everyday combat.

The event UI can be accessed via the corresponding key in the game or by clicking on the "E" symbol next to the mini-map. All active events on all servers and channels are displayed there.

Festive Okey Event (from Level 1)

The Festive Okey event is based on the well-known Okey card game, one of the mini-games in Metin2. The connection to the Christmas event: whilst the event is active, monsters drop special event items that automatically land in the event UI – no need to pick them up manually.

The event ends on 25 December, but the event drop stops already one day before. This is a frequent pitfall: those who want to farm on 24 December will already be disappointed. Plan your item farming by no later than 23 December.

Since the Festive Okey event is accessible from Level 1, it is also suitable for newcomers who have not yet met the requirements for the snowflake or advent calendar events.

The Event UI: Your Control Centre

All Christmas events run through the event UI, which was introduced in the game with update 19.1. It shows all active events on all servers and channels and enables direct access to the respective event interface by clicking on the event name.

The event UI can be accessed in two ways:

• Via the assigned hotkey (configurable in-game)
• Via the "E" symbol to the left of the mini-map

Especially in the snowflake event, where drops land directly in the event UI and are exchanged from there, regularly opening the interface is important. If you forget to do this, you may miss valuable trading opportunities.

Strategy: How to Maximise the Christmas Event

Since several sub-events run simultaneously, a clear prioritisation is worthwhile:

• Advent calendar first: It has the shortest running time (until 24 December) and no chance to make up for missed doors. Daily opening is mandatory.
• Farm Okey event drop early: The drop ends one day before the official event end – so don't wait until the last day.
• Get the snowflake spell right away: Without it, no event drop in the snowflake event. If you are at Level 60, you should get the spell first.
• Daily Father Christmas trade: The 5:1 trade with Father Christmas is limited to once daily – redeeming every day maximises profit over the entire event duration.
