The quest Fire and Ice is one of the named quests in Metin2 and belongs to the vast collection of story and gathering quests in the game. As with most quests in Metin2, the rule applies: required quest items drop only when you have already accepted the quest and it is active. Anyone who farms item drops before accepting the quest will have no success.
What is the "Fire and Ice" quest?
"Fire and Ice" (known internationally as "Fire and Ice", "Fuego y Hielo", "Ogień i Lód" etc.) is a quest that is listed under different names in various language versions of Metin2 – however, the core content remains the same. The quest is part of Metin2's extensive quest system, which guides players through the game world, provides backstory and delivers rewards such as experience points or items.
Quests in Metin2 are started and tracked via NPCs (non-player characters). The quest log shows you the current status of your active quests at all times. For "Fire and Ice", you need – as with many gathering quests – specific quest items that you must obtain during gameplay.
Quest Items: What you need and where to find it
Quest items in Metin2 are objects specifically required for completing quests. The crucial hint from the official wiki: "These items are specifically required for completing quests and most of them can only be obtained when you have this quest."
This means specifically for the "Fire and Ice" quest:
- Accept the quest first from the responsible NPC.
- Only then do the required quest items begin to drop.
- Items that you farmed before accepting the quest generally do not count.
- Quest items are not tradeable and exist only for quest completion.
Since the official wiki does not publish a detailed item list with exact drop rates for the "Fire and Ice" quest, it is recommended to use the in-game quest log as your primary source – it shows you exactly which items you still need and how far you have progressed.
Step-by-step: Quest Progression
The general progression of a gathering or story quest like "Fire and Ice" in Metin2 follows a familiar pattern. Here are the typical phases:
- Accept the quest: Speak to the responsible NPC and officially start the quest. Without this step, no quest items will drop.
- Check quest log: Open your quest log (default: key Q) and read the task description carefully. It gives you hints about target areas and required items.
- Farm items: Visit the areas or monsters mentioned in the quest log and farm the required quest items. Stay in the correct map and on the correct enemy type.
- Track progress: The quest log updates automatically. Check regularly how many items you have already collected.
- Turn in quest: Once you have collected all items, return to the quest giver or another NPC and complete the quest.
- Collect reward: After turning in the quest, you receive the quest reward – typically experience points, Yang or specific items.
Tips for a smooth quest experience
Those who want to complete Metin2 quests efficiently should pay attention to some basic things:
- Always accept the quest first: Sounds obvious, but is often forgotten. Especially when switching servers or after breaks, players lose track of whether the quest is already active.
- Use the quest log actively: The quest log is your best friend. It not only shows your progress but often also provides hints about locations.
- Keep inventory free: Quest items take up inventory slots. Clear out your inventory before farming so you don't have to stop mid-grind.
- Group play in difficult areas: If the quest sends you to higher-level areas, a group can significantly speed up farming. Quest items drop for each group member individually, provided the quest is active for everyone.
- Watch the server time: Some quests or their contents may be time-limited or tied to specific events. Check the official announcements on Metin2 News.

Quest items are automatically removed from your inventory when you turn in the quest. You cannot keep them or use them for any other purpose.
Can I complete the quest with a group?
Yes, group play is possible. Important: Each player must have actively accepted the quest themselves for quest items to drop for them. Items from your group members don't count towards your progress.
