The Level System in Metin2
Metin2 uses a classic level system that spans multiple phases from Level 1 all the way into the high endgame. Level 90 is a key milestone, while Level 105 marks the transition into advanced endgame territory. Each phase has its own optimal methods for accumulating experience points.
You earn experience points (EXP) by: defeating monsters, completing quests, running dungeons, and using EXP boosters from the Item Shop or in-game events.
Best Levelling Methods by Phase
Level 1–30: Main Quests + Farming Metin Stones
In the early levels, the most efficient approach is completing all available quests whilst simultaneously farming monsters and Metin Stones nearby. Tutorial quests grant a disproportionately high amount of EXP and should be prioritised. Gather your starting gear and begin improving your first class skills.
- Complete all tutorial quests
- Farm Metin Stones in level-appropriate areas
- Level your first class skills to rank G or F
- Accumulate Yang for your first equipment upgrades
Level 30–60: Start the Biolog Quests, Optimise Grinding Spots
From Level 30, the Biolog Quests begin — start them immediately, as they take a long time and should be worked on alongside normal levelling. Grinding spots become more important in this phase: certain monster zones yield significantly more EXP than others. Keep the quest log full by running several quests at once.
- Start the Biolog Quests with NPC Baek-Go
- Find optimal grinding spots for your current level
- Group grinding when possible (group EXP bonus)
- Prepare for your first dungeon runs
Level 60–90: Solo Devil Tower, Dungeon Quests
The Devil Tower becomes one of the most efficient EXP locations in this phase. Solo runs there combine solid EXP gains with valuable drops. Dungeon quests add considerably to your experience income. The Horse Quests should be started here at the latest — your mount dramatically increases mobility between grinding spots.
- Devil Tower runs for EXP and drops
- Complete dungeon quests
- Unlock your mount for better mobility
- Actively continue the Biolog Quests
Level 90–105: High-Level Dungeons, Group Content
In this phase, group dungeons become increasingly important. Organise yourself in a guild or seek out groups for efficient dungeon runs. EXP per hour rises considerably in a well-coordinated group. Premium items such as EXP rings from the Item Shop or events are particularly worthwhile here.
- Prioritise group dungeons
- Find a guild for regular dungeon partners
- Activate EXP rings during intensive sessions
- Finalise the Biolog Quests
Level 105+: Endgame Grinding, Snake Temple
In the endgame, the Snake Temple is the core of the content. Experienced players farm the most valuable items here and accumulate EXP for the final levels. Gameplay shifts more towards gear progression than pure levelling — the quality of your equipment becomes decisive.
Best Grinding Spots by Level Phase
| Level Range | Recommended Spots | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 1–30 | Tutorial areas, early map sections | Quests + Metin Stones |
| 30–50 | Level-appropriate Metin zones | Grinding + Biolog materials |
| 50–70 | Advanced zones, Devil Tower entrance | Dungeon quests |
| 70–90 | Devil Tower, high-level Metin spots | Solo dungeons |
| 90–105 | Group dungeons, high-level zones | Group content |
| 105+ | Snake Temple | Endgame drops + EXP |
Making the Most of EXP Boosters
EXP boosters can accelerate your levelling pace considerably. The most efficient ways to use them:
- Happy Hour: Free EXP bonuses at certain times of day — use these windows for intensive grinding sessions.
- EXP rings from the Item Shop: Activate them only during dedicated play sessions, not when you're just logging in briefly.
- Event bonuses: Seasonal events often include free EXP boosters — always claim them.
- Group bonus: Levelling in a group grants a natural EXP bonus — take advantage of this in dungeons.
Group Levelling vs. Solo
Both playstyles have their merits. Solo grinding gives you full control over drop profits and is more flexible timewise. Group levelling offers an EXP bonus, makes dungeons viable, and is more sociable. The optimal strategy combines both: solo for daily quests and Biolog materials, group for dungeons and intensive grinding sessions.

The best spot depends on your level. As a rule: farm Metin Stones in level-appropriate zones and visit dungeons as soon as they become accessible.
Are EXP rings from the Item Shop worth it?
EXP rings noticeably speed up levelling. They are optional, however — every level is reachable without them.
