"The Armour Order" is a quest in Metin2 where you as a player must obtain certain quest items and hand them over to an NPC. Quest items in Metin2 are special items that are needed exclusively for completing quests – most of them can only be obtained as drops if you have already actively accepted the associated quest. This is the most important principle you should know before starting: Without an active quest, the required materials will not drop.
What is The Armour Order?
"The Armour Order" is a typical collection and delivery quest from the Metin2 quest system. You accept the task from an NPC, then collect the requested quest items from specific enemies or around the world, and finally hand them in at the end with the responsible NPC. This type of quest is a fixed part of the Metin2 quest system and is listed in the official quest list of the game.
The name of the quest exists in multiple languages in parallel – in French it is called "La commande d'armure", in Spanish "Orden del Vendedor de Armaduras". This shows that it is an official quest that exists across servers and is part of Metin2's permanent quest offering.
Before you start: What you need to know
Before you begin the quest, you should keep some basic rules of the Metin2 quest system in mind:
- Accept the quest first: Quest items only drop if the quest is already active. Go to the quest NPC first, accept the task and only then start farming.
- Quest item inventory: Quest items usually end up in your normal inventory, but do not take up permanent space since they disappear after being handed in.
- Don't sell them: Quest items generally cannot be sold or traded – they are bound to your character.
- Cancel the quest carefully: If you cancel the quest, you will lose all quest items you have already collected and must start over.
Quest progression step by step
The basic progression of "The Armour Order" follows the classic Metin2 quest pattern: talk to NPC → accept quest → farm items → hand in items → receive reward. The exact sequence is described in detail in the how-to steps further down.
Since this is an ordering quest centred around armour, the content thematically revolves around armour materials or armour-related items. The NPC who assigns the quest is typically an armour vendor or blacksmith who tasks you with obtaining raw materials or finished components.
Quest items: Basics of the system
In Metin2, quest items follow clear rules as documented in the official wiki:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Availability | Drops only possible with active quest |
| Tradability | Generally not tradeable or sellable |
| Usage | Exclusively for completing the associated quest |
| Remaining after quest | Removed from inventory upon hand-in |
| Drop condition | Usually from specific monsters or Metins |
This system ensures that the quest system cannot be circumvented by hoarding materials in advance. However, it also means: if you cancel the quest, you lose all progress.
Tips for smooth progression
Based on experience with the Metin2 quest system, here are some practical tips to help you complete "The Armour Order" without frustration:
- Clean up your inventory: Make sure you have enough free inventory slots before you start farming. Quest items take up regular slots.
- Keep an eye on your quest log: The quest window shows you your current progress – how many items you already have and how many are still missing.
- Choose the right enemies: Quest items only drop from the enemies specified in the quest. Don't farm randomly, but read the quest description carefully.
- Solo or group: If you're farming in a group, note that quest items in Metin2 drop individually to each group member – you don't have to compete for loot.
- Don't interrupt: Don't log out during an active collection quest without securing your progress. The items you've collected will remain, but technical issues can rarely cause loss.
Rewards and quest benefits
Quests like "The Armour Order" typically reward you in Metin2 with experience points (EXP), Yang (the in-game currency) or special items. Since this is an armour-related quest, it is likely that the reward is related to armours or armour upgrades. The exact reward values are quest-specific and will be displayed in the quest window once you have accepted the quest.
Completing quests is a key way to gain experience in Metin2, improve your equipment and learn more about the game world. Quests like this offer new players a clear task with a concrete goal.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
These are mistakes that players frequently make with collection quests like "The Armour Order":
- Farming before accepting the quest: The most common mistake of all. Items only drop after officially starting the quest with the NPC.
- Accidentally cancelling the quest: There is a cancel option in the quest window – only choose it deliberately, as you will lose all items afterwards.
- Wrong NPC for hand-in: Sometimes there are several similar NPCs in a town. Make sure you hand in your items to the correct quest giver.
- Not enough inventory space: If your backpack is full, no more quest items can be picked up – clear space before you start.
