The Metin2 Event Calendar 2026 encompasses a broad spectrum of temporary content: from annually recurring seasonal events through daily mini-games to limited bonus events that temporarily boost your EXP or item drops significantly. All currently active events are displayed to you directly in-game in the Event UI – accessible via the E key or the corresponding icon to the left of the mini-map. Anyone who doesn't want to miss any of these events should know the event categories and schedules.
What event categories are there in Metin2?
Among the various event types and categories, the game groups together all temporary content that is activated for limited periods. The Event UI provides an overview of all events active on your respective server and channel. Clicking on the name of an event opens the corresponding interface directly.
The content event types and categories are structured as follows:
- Classic seasonal events: Annually recurring major events for specific occasions, such as the Easter event.
- Seasonal events with mini-games: Specific in-game games that provide additional gameplay fun as part of events.
- Event dungeons: Temporarily accessible instances with special challenges.
- Boost events: Time-limited server actions that provide noticeable bonuses to experience points (EXP), Yang yields and general drops.
- Simple drop events: Activities that often run on a daily schedule and offer players the chance to secure helpful drops regularly.
Annual Events: Fixed schedule in the holiday calendar
These events return every year and are based on real holidays or the official game anniversary. Adjusting your own play schedule accordingly is recommended, as particularly the anniversary event and the various seasonal events regularly unlock exclusive and special rewards.
| Event | Period (approximate) | Special feature |
|---|---|---|
| Anniversary Event | Game anniversary date | Celebrates the birthday of Metin2 |
| Valentine's Day Event | Around 14 February | Seasonal love theme |
| Easter Event | Around Easter | Spring content |
| Ramadan Event | Ramadan period | Culturally themed event |
| Summer Event | Summer | Seasonal summer games and rewards |
| Blood Moon Event | Variable | Combat-focused event |
| Halloween Event | Around 31 October | Spooky themes, costumes, special drops |
| Christmas Event | December | Advent calendar, winter content |
Note: Exact start dates for 2026 will be communicated by Gameforge shortly before each event. The table above shows the approximate timeframes based on historical data.
Temporary Bonus Events – EXP, Drops and more
In addition to the fixed seasonal events, which often run for several weeks, there are short-term bonus events. These are usually only active for a few hours or one to two days and are particularly suitable for targeted character levelling or farming valuable drops for personal use or player trading.
| Event type | Bonus | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| EXP Event | Additional experience points on activities (values vary) | 1–2 days |
| Item Drop Event | Increased probability for item drops (values vary) | 1–2 days |
| Metin Fever | Increased loot from Metin stones and bosses | 1–2 days |
| Moonlight Treasure Chest Drop | Enemies drop desired treasure chests | A few hours |
| Monster Hunt Event | Hunt event in which the boss Baashido must be defeated or the Metin of Agony destroyed | 1 day |
| Fish Puzzle Event | Fishing mini-game with valuable prizes | A few hours |
The EXP Event is particularly valuable for characters in active level progression. Earnings can be maximized by combining the event with EXP boosts from the item shop, if these are stackable. For the Item Drop Event, prior inventory management is advisable: players should empty their bags before the event starts to ensure sufficient space for the increased amount of loot.
Mini-Games – Fun with rewards
Metin2 offers several mini-games as part of the event system. These are not permanently available but are unlocked as part of events:
- Okey Card Game – Card game based on Okey rules
- Catch the King – Reaction-based event game
- Yutnori – Korean board game
- Seer Card Game – Card-based game
- Fish Puzzle Game – Puzzle mini-game with fishing theme
Mini-games are a good alternative to regular grinding and offer their own reward structures. Which mini-game is available when is shown in the in-game Event UI.
Event Dungeons – Limited group content
Three special dungeons appear exclusively as part of events and are not accessible outside these periods:
- Journey to the Otherworld – Thematic event dungeon
- Primordis Expedition – Limited expedition dungeon
- Treasure Island Event – Dungeon with treasure focus
These dungeons have their own mechanics and rewards that are only accessible during their active phase. Plan groups in advance, as the time windows are often short.
Other event systems and item shop actions
Beyond the mentioned categories, there are a number of other events that provide variety in everyday gameplay:
- Flower Event
- Harvest Festival
- Football Event
- Snowflake Event
- Santa Event
- World Boss Event
- Echoes of Power

The most reliable way to stay informed about all activities is a combination of in-game tools and official external platforms:
- Event UI in-game: Press the E key in-game or click the E icon to the left of the mini-map. All currently active events for your respective server and channel are displayed clearly there.
- Major event announcements: Gameforge announces the comprehensive seasonal events on the official website and in the official forum – usually a few days before the actual start.
- Daily drop events: Specific details and schedules for the smaller, daily rotating drop events are provided directly in the official forum.
- Calendar reminders: For the major annual events (such as Halloween, Christmas or Valentine's Day), it is recommended to set up recurring calendar entries, as the respective time windows remain very similar from year to year.
Frequently asked questions about the Metin2 event calendar
Where can I see which events are currently active?
In the Event UI, which you open in-game with the E key or via the icon to the left of the mini-map. It shows you all currently active events on your specific server and channel.

Metin2 offers a variety of major seasonal events distributed throughout the year. These include fixed highlights such as the Anniversary Event, the Valentine's Day Event, the Easter Event, the Ramadan Event, the Summer Event, the Blood Moon Event, the Halloween Event and the Christmas Event.
What does an EXP event actually bring?
During an EXP event, you receive noticeably additional experience points for your activities in-game. These events typically run for one to two days and provide the ideal opportunity for active character levelling.
Are event dungeons playable solo or only in groups?
For popular event dungeons (such as Journey to the Otherworld, Primordis Expedition or Treasure Island Event), the exact access conditions and group requirements may vary. It's best to check the official forum shortly before the event starts for current conditions.
Should you play with full bags during an item drop event?
Technically it's possible, but not recommended. The event increases the chance of loot noticeably. A full inventory quickly means that valuable items remain on the ground. It is advisable to sell all unnecessary items or deposit them in storage before the event starts.
When does the Christmas Event start?
Gameforge always communicates exact start dates in advance. Historically, the Christmas Event begins in the course of December and traditionally also brings the popular in-game advent calendar. You can always find current dates and announcements on the official website and forum.
What is the advent calendar in Metin2?
The advent calendar runs parallel to the Christmas Event in December. Through this, players can collect free or special rewards daily directly from the item shop.
