Metin of Vanity & Metin Stone Guide – Metin2

The Metin of Vanity (German: Metin der Eitelkeit, French: Metin de la Vanité) is one of the classic Metin Stones in Metin2. Metin Stones are oversized, stationary stone monsters distributed across the map that players must actively seek out and destroy. The Metin of Vanity appears in three variants: easy, normal, and hard – depending on the difficulty level, the requirements for your character and equipment increase. Those who farm it consistently will gather Metin Stone reputation scrolls and rare drops.

What is a Metin Stone in Metin2?

Metin Stones are special, stationary monsters that spawn at fixed or semi-random points on the game world. Unlike normal enemies, they do not move – they stand on the map and must be actively attacked by players. When you attack a Metin Stone, additional guardian monsters spawn to protect the stone. Destroying the stone itself is the actual objective.

In the German wiki, the collective terms "Metinstein" and "Metins" are used synonymously. The pages "Metinstein" and "Metinsteine" both redirect to the same central article. The Metin of Vanity is part of this group and shares the fundamental gameplay principle of all Metin Stones.

The Three Difficulty Levels of the Metin Stone

Every Metin type – including the Metin of Vanity – exists in three variants. The variants differ in strength, guardian monsters, and potential drops. The German designations are:

The English designation "Metin Stone Spawner" clarifies the core mechanic: the stone spawns guardian monsters as soon as players attack it. These guardians often need to be fought in parallel while you damage the stone itself.

Metin Stone Reputation Scrolls – What's Behind Them?

An important component surrounding Metin Stones are the Metin Stone reputation scrolls. According to the wiki, there are three different reputation scrolls for Metin Stones. These scrolls allow players to deliberately summon Metin Stones or influence their spawning – a useful tool for organised farming and group play.

The exact functionality of each reputation scroll is embedded in the game mechanics: by using a reputation scroll, a Metin Stone can be created or summoned at a specific location without waiting for the natural spawn cycle. This saves time during farm runs and makes targeted farming of the Metin of Vanity considerably more efficient.

Destroying the Metin of Vanity – Quests and Tasks

Destroying the Metin of Vanity is not only a free farming activity but also part of the quest system in Metin2. In the German wiki, the quest "Destroy the Metin of Vanity" is documented (French: Détruire les Metins de la Vanité). Such destruction quests task players with destroying a certain number of these stones – often as a daily or repeatable quest.

These quests are one of the most efficient methods to regularly receive rewards for Metin farming. Players who work through their quests daily will benefit significantly in the long run compared to casual farming.

Farming Strategy: Fighting the Metin of Vanity Efficiently

To farm Metin Stones efficiently, you should keep some basic points in mind:

• Adjust difficulty level: Start with the easy variant until you understand the mechanics. Switch to hard once your character is strong enough to handle the increased guardian pressure.
• Guardian monsters first or in parallel: Decide based on your class and build whether you eliminate guardians first or focus directly on the stone. Some classes can fight the stone under pressure, others need the area clear first.
• Use reputation scrolls: The three available Metin Stone reputation scrolls allow you to bypass spawn cycles. For intensive farming, they are a clear time advantage.
• Complete quests daily: Working through the "Destroy the Metin of Vanity" quest regularly maximises your yield per session.
• Group play: As a team, guardians can be defeated faster and the stone can be focused – particularly useful for the hard variant.
