The Great Bear Belt is part of the belt system in Metin2, which grants each character up to 16 additional inventory slots. Like all belts in the game, it can be used equally by all classes and provides a fixed additional bonus alongside the inventory expansion. The additional bonus of belts cannot be improved or changed – it is fixed. However, belts themselves can be improved through ores just like bracelets, earrings and necklaces. Anyone looking for more storage space and a passive bonus will find a solid option in the Great Bear Belt.
What is the Great Bear Belt?
The Great Bear Belt is an equipment item in the belt category. In the Metin2 community, it is also known by its international names: Great Bear Belt (English), Ceinture Grande Ourse (French) or Pas Niedźwiedzi (Polish). The item is part of the overarching belt system, which Gameforge introduced with an expansion of the inventory.
Belts in Metin2 are not a classic combat upgrade like a weapon or armour. Their main purpose is to expand the inventory – a factor that brings considerable comfort in daily farming, looting and trading. The additional bonus of the Great Bear Belt is applied automatically when the item is equipped.
The Belt System – Fundamentals
The belt system in Metin2 enables a direct expansion of the character's inventory. Depending on the level and type of belt worn, up to 16 additional inventory slots are unlocked. These slots appear as an expandable panel in the inventory window – the corresponding button is labelled 17 in the inventory view.
Important to know: Not all slots are necessarily active. Which slots are available and activated depends on the specific equipped belt. Missing or inactive slots are displayed as locked in the interface accordingly.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Available from Level | Level 50 |
| Maximum Inventory Slots | Up to 16 additional slots |
| Class Restriction | None – all classes can wear belts |
| Improvable? | No – belts cannot be improved or changed |
| Additional Bonus | Yes – each belt has a fixed bonus |
| Can be removed if? | Only if the belt inventory is completely empty |
Removing a Belt – What You Need to Know
A common mistake for newcomers: If you want to change or remove your belt, you must first remove all items from the belt inventory. As long as even a single item is in the additional slots, you cannot remove the belt. This applies to the Great Bear Belt just as it does to all other belts in the game.
Practical tip: Before switching to a different belt, empty the expanded inventory completely – either move items to your main inventory, place them in your storage chest, or sell/drop items beforehand.
How Do You Get the Great Bear Belt?
Belts in Metin2 can be obtained in two ways: through direct drops from certain bosses or through crafting with appropriate NPCs.
Boss Drop: The boss Razador drops finished belts. Razador is thus one of the direct sources if you want to obtain a belt without crafting effort.
Crafting: Various NPCs offer belt crafting. In the belt system, the following crafting NPCs are responsible for belts:
- Yu-Hwan – Crafts certain belt types
- Jae-Seon Kim – Crafts additional belt variants
- Master Chi – Crafts selected belts
For which specific belt type each NPC is responsible and which materials are exactly needed, you should check in-game directly with the NPCs or in the official Metin2 Wiki under the belt overview. The exact recipe for the Great Bear Belt is detailed there.
Improving Belts – What Is Possible?
Belts in Metin2 can generally be improved through ores – similar to bracelets, earrings and necklaces. However, there is one important restriction: The fixed additional bonus that each belt provides cannot be changed or improved. It is fixed.
For improving belts, smithing stones are used – from 1* to 5* belt smithing stones, which are available in the game. The improvement process itself follows the same rules as for other accessories.
| Aspect | Possible? |
|---|---|
| Improvement through ores | Yes |
| Use of smithing stones (1*–5*) | Yes |
| Change additional bonus | No – bonus is fixed |
| Increase improvement level | Yes – through the standard improvement process |
Great Bear Belt Compared to Other Belts
In the belt system of Metin2, there are various belt types that differ in their additional bonus and their crafting source. Another well-known belt is, for example, the Belt of Wisdom, which is designed for different game values. Which belt fits best depends on your class build and playstyle.
The Great Bear Belt, with its name, is aimed at players who prefer a combat-oriented or endurance-focused build. Like all other belts, it provides its fixed number of inventory slots and can be worn without restriction by Warriors, Ninjas, Suras, Shamans and Lycanthropes.
When choosing between different belts, you should consider the following points:
- Which additional bonus fits your build?
- How many inventory slots are unlocked?
- Is the belt directly craftable or only available through boss drops?
- What is the current market value of the belt?
Practical Tips for the Belt System
Those who use the belt inventory efficiently gain significantly more gameplay flow when farming. Here are the most important practical tips:
- Equip belt early: Belts are available from level 50 – if you equip one early, you immediately benefit from the extra slots when looting.
- Empty inventory before belt change: Don't forget – the belt can only be removed if the belt inventory is empty.
- Use smithing stones: If you want to keep a belt long-term, you should improve it with appropriate smithing stones to get more value out of it.
- Farm Razador: If you don't want to craft a belt, you can use Razador as a farming target and hope for a direct belt drop.
- Check NPC recipe: Before crafting with Yu-Hwan, Jae-Seon Kim or Master Chi, verify the exact material requirements to avoid wasting resources.
