Magic Plate Armour Metin2 – Armour Guide

What is Magic Plate Armour?

Magic Plate Armour is an armour piece in the free-to-play MMORPG Metin2 by Gameforge. It belongs to the category of plate armour and is available for all playable classes. Crucially: the values are 100% identical for every class. Warriors, Ninjas, Shamans, Suras and Lycanthropes wear differently named variants of Magic Plate Armour, but receive exactly the same base stats. Only the appearance and the class-specific name differ.

This system applies equally to all armour types in Metin2: the game differentiates armours by class, but exclusively in appearance and designation – not in actual combat values.

Class-Specific Names of Magic Plate Armour

Each class in Metin2 wears its own version of Magic Plate Armour with a class-specific name. In the community and in trades, these terms are used synonymously. The following table shows how Magic Plate Armour is named depending on class:

When buying or trading in-game, it is therefore important to pay attention to your own class – two Magic Plate Armours of different classes cannot be equipped by each other, even though their stats are the same.

Armour System in Metin2 – Fundamentals

In Metin2, the armour system is divided into five classes: Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, Sura and Lycanthrope. Each class has its own armour series, which is visually and nominally adapted. The base values, however, are identical across classes. This means: if you find information about Magic Plate Armour for one class, you can apply it directly to all other classes.

Armours can be obtained in several ways: from the armour merchant in-game, through drops from monsters or Metins, via player trading or using armour blueprints at the blacksmith. The exact acquisition methods depend on the respective armour type and level.

Magic Plate Armour vs. Other Armour Types

Within the Metin2 armour series, there are different tiers and types – from simple leather armour entry-level all the way up to highly upgraded endgame armours. Magic Plate Armour positions itself as a distinctive armour type with the characteristic "Magic" prefix, which indicates its special focus.

When comparing different armours, you should always consider the following factors:

• Base Defence Value: Crucial for raw damage reduction.
• Bonus Attributes: Armours can carry random or fixed bonus values (e.g. HP, resistances).
• Upgrade Grade: Armours can be improved with upgrade stones.
• Availability: Some armour types are rarer and more expensive on the market.

Since the Wiki redirects Magic Plate Armour Level 9 directly to Storm Plate Armour, this is a hint at armour evolution in the game: certain armour types are replaced by successor armours at higher levels or transition into a new armour series.

Tips for Using Magic Plate Armour

Since all classes in Metin2 receive identical armour values, the same optimisation principle applies to Magic Plate Armour regardless of the chosen class. The following tips help with effective use:

• Always buy the class-correct version: Even though the stats are the same, an incorrect class armour cannot be equipped. When buying on the market, always check your own class.
• Upgrading is worth it: Like all armours in Metin2, Magic Plate Armour benefits from upgrade stones. A well-upgraded armour often far outperforms a higher-level one without upgrades.
• Check bonus attributes: When buying on the player market, always check the bonus slots. Random bonuses like HP boosts or resistances can greatly increase an armour's value.
• Keep development in mind: Magic Plate Armour Level 9 transitions into Storm Plate Armour. Those planning long-term should know the entire armour series.
• Use community trading: In the Metin2 community, prices and availability vary greatly by server. Fansite forums and Discord servers for your game world are helpful sources for current market prices.
