Armour in Metin2: The Class System Explained
In Metin2 there are five playable classes: Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, Sura and Lycan. Each class has its own armour series with class-specific names and aesthetics. The Dragon Rider Suit follows exactly this system.
A key design principle for Metin2 armour: The stats of all class armours of the same type are 100% identical. This means specifically: A Dragon Rider Suit for the Warrior and a Dragon Rider Suit for the Ninja have exactly the same base stats. Only the name and model of the item differ – a purely cosmetic difference.
This design principle applies universally to all armour in Metin2, not just the Dragon Rider Suit. It greatly simplifies item calculations since you can apply guides and stat comparisons across classes.
Class-Specific Names of the Dragon Rider Suit
Each class wears the Dragon Rider Suit under a slightly adjusted name. The classes and their respective armour pages in the official wiki are:
- Warrior → Warrior/Armour
- Ninja → Ninja/Armour
- Shaman → Shaman/Armour
- Sura → Sura/Armour
- Lycan → Lycan/Armour
When searching for the Dragon Rider Suit in the trade chat or marketplace, make sure to filter by the name for your specific class – even though the stats are identical, the items cannot be equipped across classes.
Where to Get Armour in Metin2
Armour in Metin2 can be obtained in various ways. Here's an overview of the most important sources:
- Armour Vendors (NPCs): In every major city there is an armour vendor (also called Armor Shop Dealer) who sells basic armour. For higher-tier items like the Dragon Rider Suit, the vendor is usually not a source.
- Monster Drops: Many armours drop from monsters and Metins. Stronger armours correspondingly drop in higher-level areas.
- Player Trading: The player marketplace (marketplace, private shops) is often the quickest source for specific items.
- Blacksmith and Crafting: Via armour designs, you can craft armour and helms yourself. You will need the appropriate materials and matching design.
Armour Designs: Crafting as an Alternative
In Metin2, besides direct drops and buying from vendors, there is also a crafting system via Armour Designs. Armour Designs allow you to craft armour independently. For helms there is also a separate design – the Helm Design.
The crafting system offers a controlled alternative to RNG-dependent drops. If you're targeting a specific armour tier, it's worth gathering the required materials and obtaining the right design.
Tips for Buying and Upgrading Armour in Metin2
A few practical tips that help when dealing with the Dragon Rider Suit and other armour in Metin2:
- Know class names: Since each class has unique item names, you should know the exact class name when searching the marketplace. A wrong search term will return no results.
- Use stat identity: Because stats are identical across classes, you can apply tier lists and upgrade guides from other classes directly to your own.
- Plan your upgrade path: Before you invest Yang in the Dragon Rider Suit, check whether a better armour tier is available for your level. The armour hierarchy in Metin2 is clearly structured.
- Use armour designs: If the marketplace price for the Dragon Rider Suit is high, the crafting route via design might be cheaper – provided the materials are available.
- +9 versus new item: In Metin2 it's often more effective to wear a stronger base armour at low upgrades than to upgrade weaker armour heavily. Calculate costs versus benefits before every upgrade.
