The Kyanite Bell (German: Kyanitglocke, French: Gong de Kyanite, Italian: Campana di Cianite, Romanian: Clopot din Cianit) is a weapon in Metin2 that belongs to the Shaman weapons category. Bells are the classic weapon archetype for the Shaman class – if you want to fight or heal effectively as a Shaman, you cannot avoid this weapon type.
What is the Kyanite Bell?
In Metin2, every weapon is assigned to a specific class. The five playable classes – Warrior, Sura, Ninja, Shaman and Lycan – each have their own weapon types that can only be equipped by the respective class. The Kyanite Bell is a Shaman weapon and thus follows the characteristic design of this class: A bell that serves as both an offensive and support tool.
The name derives from the mineral kyanite (also: cyanite), a blue silicate mineral – which is reflected in the typical blue-mystical appearance of many Shaman items in Metin2.
Weapons in Metin2: An Overview by Class
Metin2 strictly distinguishes weapons by class. Each class has its own weapon pool. The following table provides an overview of weapon types for individual classes:
| Class | Typical Weapon Type | Weapons Wiki Page |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Swords, Battle Axes, Spears | Warrior/Weapons |
| Sura | Curved Blades, Magical Blades | Sura/Weapons |
| Ninja | Bows, Daggers, Claws | Ninja/Weapons |
| Shaman | Bells, Fans | Shaman/Weapons |
| Lycan | Claws, Talons | Lycan/Weapons |
The Kyanite Bell clearly falls into the category Shaman/Weapons. This means: Only a character of the Shaman class can equip this weapon and benefit from its values.
The Shaman Class and Its Weapons
Shamans in Metin2 are a versatile class that can choose between two specialisations: the physical combat direction and the magical support variant. Bells are a standard part of both playstyles, as they represent the fundamental weapon of the class.
Fans are the alternative for Shamans who want to specialise more in magical attacks and ranged attacks. Bells such as the Kyanite Bell, on the other hand, are suitable for Shamans who fight in close combat and want to deploy their attack skills directly.
If you play a Shaman, you should decide early on whether to take the bell path or the fan path – as both playstyles differ significantly in skill priorities and item selection. For the Sura weapons user, there is also a dedicated skill guide that shows how class-specific weapon builds work.
Kyanite Bell: Classification and Significance
The name "Kyanite" hints at a specific material tier or theme line within the Metin2 weapon system. In Metin2, many weapons are named after minerals, metals or mystical materials – this gives players a first hint of the strength or tier of the item.
Since Metin2 offers an extensive upgrade system, the Kyanite Bell should not be viewed as a static item. Weapons in Metin2 can generally be improved through the following mechanics:
- Upgrade with refiner stones to increase the level (+0 to +9 and beyond)
- Bonus rolls through various items to optimise the secondary values of the weapon
- Weapon set templates (Weapon Set Template): Listed as a standalone item in the wiki that is used for visual or functional customisation of weapon sets
- Weapon horse books: Allow the use of certain weapons while mounted – also relevant for bell weapons if the Shaman fights mounted
Weapon Horse Book and Weapon Set Template: What's Behind Them?
Two related items are listed in the Metin2 wiki that may also be relevant for bell weapons such as the Kyanite Bell:
| Item | Function | Relevance for Kyanite Bell |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon Horse Book | Enables the use of a weapon whilst riding (mounted) | Yes – if Shaman plays mounted |
| Weapon Set Template | Template for customising a weapon set (visual or functional) | Possible, depending on available sets |
The Weapon Horse Book is available in multiple languages (Hungarian: Felfegyverzett ló könyv, Italian: Libro Armi a Cavallo, Dutch: Strijdpaarden Boek, Polish: Księga Opancerzonego Konia), which shows that it is an internationally relevant item available in all language versions of the game.
The Weapon Set Template is also documented in multiple languages (Arabic: قالب طقم السلاح, French: Modèle de lot d'arme, Italian: Modello Set Arma, Polish: Projekt Zestawu Broni, Romanian: Ornament Set Armă) and plays a role when players want to build a cohesive weapon set.
Tips for Obtaining Shaman Weapons
Since the wiki does not provide specific drop sources or merchant information for the Kyanite Bell, the following general methods apply to obtaining Shaman weapons in Metin2:
- Monster Drops: Weapons drop from Metins and monsters whose level matches the item tier. Higher-level bells require correspondingly stronger enemies.
- Player Market: The in-game market (private shops, auction house depending on server) is often the fastest source. Search specifically for "Kyanite Bell" or the German name "Kyanitglocke".
- Dungeons and Bosses: Special weapons often drop from dungeon bosses. Shamans should farm dungeons with their group that match their level range.
- Events: Gameforge regularly integrates event items and rewards, which can also include weapons.
If you are actively looking for the Kyanite Bell, you should first check the Shaman Weapons section of the wiki and ask in the official forum about current drop information. The community is often the most reliable source for current data here.
