Quest books in Metin2 are items that you activate via right-click to start a quest. The reward consists of EXP, Yang and/or items – on average, you only get all three reward types simultaneously about every 8th to 9th time, usually it's two of them. You can only have one quest book quest active at a time – with one exception: A Yohara Quest Book is allowed as an additional second active mission.
How Quest Books Work
Quest books can be found through drops from monsters and metins or purchased via player trading. After activation via right-click on the book, a random quest from the respective difficulty level is assigned. The exact reward varies – the rewards mentioned in wikis and community guides are therefore examples, not guarantees.
Important for planning: Since only one active quest book quest is possible at a time, you should only activate your book when you have time to tackle the task directly. This prevents an easier quest from blocking a slot you could use for a higher level.

Easy Quest Book – For Beginners on Map1
Easy quest books are your entry into the quest system. All tasks play out exclusively on Map1, which makes navigation much easier. Enemies and metins have levels between 6 and 24. This level is ideal for new characters who want to generate additional EXP and Yang alongside regular levelling, without having to travel long distances.
Normal Quest Book – Early Dungeons Included
With normal quest books, the play field expands significantly. Enemies have levels between 22 and 45, and tasks take you to Map1, Map2, Orc Valley, as well as the easy and normal Monkey Dungeon. If you don't yet have experience with early dungeons, you should familiarise yourself with the entrances and layouts before activation to avoid wasting time.
Hard Quest Book – Dungeons and Desert
Hard quest books demand levels between 35 and 71 at the targets and send you to some of the most challenging mid-game areas in the game. These include Orc Valley, Yongbi Desert, Hwang Temple, Mount Sohan, Demon Tower, hard Monkey Dungeon and Spider Dungeon. For this level, solid equipment is recommended, as the enemy level range is very wide and you're facing areas with real resistance. Plan for sufficient healing items, especially for dungeon tasks.
Expert Quest Book – Ghost Forest and Fire Land
Expert books take you to two specific areas: Ghost Forest and Fire Land. Enemies there have levels between 65 and 72. This level is for characters who have already progressed through mid-game areas and want to deliberately farm EXP and Yang in the upper level ranges. The target selection is relatively compact compared to other levels, which simplifies planning.
Prince Quest Book – Endgame Content
Prince books are the most demanding level and are aimed at characters in endgame. Enemies have levels between 90 and 120. Quests take you to the Grotto, The Devil's Catacomb, the 90s Maps, the 100s Dungeons, the Temple of Ochao and the Cursed Forest. There is at least one subgroup (Prince 1), suggesting this level is further subdivided internally. For Prince quests, fully developed equipment and knowledge of the relevant endgame dungeons are prerequisites.
Tips for Efficient Work with Quest Books
- Only one active quest: Only activate a quest book when you can tackle the quest directly. Don't forget the exception for Yohara Quest Books.
- Reward varies: Don't count on a specific reward. On average, you only get all three reward types (EXP, Yang, item) at once about every 8th–9th time.
- Buy book or farm: If you want to deliberately work through a specific difficulty level, it's better to buy the appropriate book directly from player trading rather than wait for a drop.
- Know your areas: Especially at Hard and Expert, it's worth knowing the areas in advance. Unknown dungeons like Spider Dungeon will otherwise waste unnecessary time.
- Use Yohara exception: The Yohara Quest Book can be active in parallel with your normal quest book quest – use this slot deliberately.
