What are Metinstones?
Metinstones are stationary monster objects that appear at fixed spawn points on the game map. Unlike normal monsters, they don't run towards the player – the character must actively approach the stone and attack it. When a Metinstone is destroyed, all nearby group members receive experience points and the stone drops items on the ground.
The word "Metin" comes from Turkish and roughly means "solid" or "firm" – fitting for these massive stone formations that scatter across the game world. Within the game lore, these stones are considered a source of dark energy that attracts and corrupts monsters in the surrounding area.
The Three Metinstone Types: Easy, Normal, Hard
Metinstones come in three difficulty variants. The difficulty affects how much damage the stone can take before being destroyed, which monsters it summons, and which items it can drop. Generally speaking: harder stones require more combat power, but offer potentially better rewards.
| Type | Difficulty | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Metinstone (Easy) | Low | Suitable for lower levels and beginners |
| Metinstone (Normal) | Medium | Standard farming target for the majority of players |
| Metinstone (Hard) | High | For well-equipped characters, better drops |
| Metin Tu-Young | Special | Special variant with its own properties |
Metin Tu-Young: What's Behind This Variant?
The Metin Tu-Young is a special Metinstone variant in Metin2. The name "Tu-Young" refers to the Asian-inspired lore framework of the game. Like all Metinstones, Tu-Young also appears at specific locations on the game map and summons guardian monsters when attacked that defend the stone.
For players who want to farm Tu-Young strategically, it's worth checking the current server spawn, as Metinstones respawn at regular intervals. Those who don't want to wait for the natural spawn can use the Metinstone Summon Scroll to manually summon stones at a specific location.
Metinstone Summon Scroll: Summon Stones Yourself
The Metinstone Summon Scroll allows players to actively spawn Metinstones instead of waiting for natural respawn. There are a total of three different versions of the summon scroll, each calling forth different Metinstones. This allows farming to be controlled strategically – ideal if you need a specific stone type for drops or want to make a farming session more efficient.
Summon scrolls are a useful tool for anyone wanting to increase their farming efficiency. Instead of running across the map and searching for spawn points, you can summon the desired Metinstone directly where you are – provided the rules of the respective area allow it.
Farming Strategy: Farm Metinstones Efficiently
Farming Metinstones is one of the basic activities in Metin2. Here are the key points every farmer should know:
- Choose the Right Stone Type: Select the Metinstone that your character can realistically destroy in a short time. A stone that's too strong will cost time and potions.
- Factor in Guardian Monsters: Each Metinstone summons monsters when attacked. These must be defeated simultaneously or beforehand – plan your potions and abilities accordingly.
- Use Group Farming: In a group, experience points from destroyed stones are distributed to all nearby members. This can speed up levelling.
- Know Spawn Routes: Each map has fixed spawn points for Metinstones. Those who know these points by heart can work through an efficient route.
- Use Summon Scrolls: The Metinstone Summon Scroll (three variants) saves running time and significantly increases the farming rate.
Metinstones and Their Connection to the Game World
Metinstones are not just farming objects – they are the central game element that gives the game its name. According to game lore, these stones fell from another dimension into the world and spread dark magic. They attract monsters and corrupt the surrounding area. It is the task of players to destroy these stones and free the world from their threat.
This lore embedding makes Metinstones more than just farming targets: they are the narrative core of Metin2. Each map, each area has its own Metinstones that fit the theme of that location. This ensures that farming remains embedded in a larger context despite its repetitive nature.
Tips for Beginners: How to Start Farming Metinstones
Those new to Metin2 should start by focusing on easy Metinstones. These are available on the starter maps and can be destroyed even with a fresh character without great equipment. As your level increases and your equipment improves, switching to normal and eventually hard stones becomes worthwhile.
Particularly important for beginners: Always carry enough healing potions. The guardian monsters that a Metinstone summons when attacked can be dangerous, especially for inexperienced players. If you break down the stone too slowly, you'll quickly face a larger mob.
Another tip: look at which class you're playing and tailor your approach accordingly. Warriors and Suras benefit from direct melee combat at the stone's surface, while Shamans or Lycaners may need to prioritise the guardians before focusing on the stone.
