What Are Necklaces in Metin2?
Necklaces in Metin2 belong to the accessories category and occupy your character's neck slot. The special feature: all classes can wear any necklace – there are no class-based restrictions like with weapons or armour. Whether Warrior, Assassin, Sura, Shaman or Lycan – the necklace slot is equally accessible to every character.
Necklaces count alongside belts, rings and bracelets as the four accessory types you can upgrade in the game. Upgrades are done using ores, which you can obtain from gameplay or purchase in the shop. A well-upgraded necklace can make a noticeable difference to your character's stats.
Overview: Necklace Types in Metin2
In Metin2 there are various necklace variants that differ in material, rarity and stats. The most well-known standard necklaces are:
| Necklace | Special Feature | Class Restriction |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Necklace | Standard model, widely available | None – all classes |
| Ebony Necklace | Mid-tier quality | None – all classes |
| Amethyst Necklace | Gemstone variant | None – all classes |
| Necklace of Harmony | Special variant | None – all classes |
| Necklace of Love | Special variant | None – all classes |
The Gold Necklace is typically the entry point for lower levels. As you progress, players switch to rarer variants that offer higher base values and better upgrade potential.
Upgrading Necklaces with Ores
As with all accessories in Metin2: simply wearing a necklace is just the beginning. Only through upgrading with ores does an accessory reach its full potential. The upgrade system for necklaces works the same way as for belts, rings and bracelets.
Key points for necklace upgrades:
- Ores for upgrades can be obtained by farming mobs, from chests or through the player market.
- Each upgrade level increases the necklace's stats.
- The upgrade system for accessories is the same for all accessory slots – anyone with experience upgrading belts or rings already knows the process.
- Make sure you have enough ores available before you start upgrading.
Necklaces vs. Other Accessories: What Should I Upgrade First?
In Metin2 there are four accessory slots that can all be upgraded with ores: belts, rings, bracelets and necklaces. Since resources are limited, the question of prioritisation arises.
As a general rule in the Metin2 community: upgrade the slots that give your class and build the greatest benefit first. Since all necklaces are class-free, they offer you the flexibility to reuse accessories on another character, should you ever want to switch classes.
For beginners, the following approach is recommended:
- First work towards a solid set of base accessories (necklace + rings).
- Only then invest in expensive ores for high-tier upgrades once your character has reached mid to high level range.
- Not every necklace is equally suited for upgrades – higher-quality base necklaces generally have more potential.
Special Necklaces: Harmony and Love
Besides standard material necklaces (Gold, Ebony, Amethyst), Metin2 also has special variants such as the Necklace of Harmony and the Necklace of Love. These necklaces are unique items with their own properties and appear regularly in special content or events.
These special necklaces also follow the basic rule: no class restrictions, upgradeable via ore system. However, they are typically harder to obtain than regular necklaces from normal gameplay.
If you spot one of these necklaces on the player market or as a drop, carefully check its base values and upgrade potential before deciding if it suits your build.
Tips for Necklace Farming and Trading
Since necklaces are class-free, they are especially sought after on the player market – every character can wear them. This also affects prices on the player market. Higher-quality, well-upgraded necklaces can have considerable Yang value.
Practical tips for necklace trading:
- Price comparison: Check current prices of similar necklaces on the player market before you buy or sell.
- Evaluation before purchase: Pay attention not only to the necklace type, but also to the current upgrade level and any bonuses.
- Farming vs. Buying: Simple necklaces like the Gold Necklace are often obtained as monster drops. Rare variants like the Necklace of Harmony are usually easier to obtain through trading.
- No upgrades without a plan: Think carefully before upgrading whether you'll use this necklace long-term – investing expensive ores into an item you'll replace soon is a waste of resources.
Frequently Asked Questions about Metin2 Necklaces
Can all classes in Metin2 wear the same necklaces?

How do you upgrade necklaces in Metin2?
Necklaces are upgraded like belts, rings and bracelets using ores. The ore upgrade system is the same for all accessories. Required ores can be obtained through farming, chests or player market trading.
What's the difference between Gold Necklace, Ebony Necklace and Amethyst Necklace?
These three necklaces differ in material and typically in base values and upgrade potential. The Gold Necklace is a typical starter item, while Ebony and Amethyst Necklaces become relevant for more advanced characters. You should check exact stats in-game as they may change with updates.
What is the Necklace of Harmony and how do I get it?
The Necklace of Harmony is a special variant among Metin2 necklaces. You'll find exact drop sources and stats best in the current official wiki or in the Metin2 player community, as acquisition sources can change with updates.
Should I upgrade my necklace or rings first?
It depends on your build and class. Since both are class-free and upgraded via the ore system, prioritise the slot that gives your most important stats (Attack, Defence, Health) the biggest bonus. If unsure, check class-specific build guides from the community.
Can I transfer an upgraded necklace to another character?
Since necklaces have no class restriction, a necklace can basically be worn by any character on your account – provided other requirements (e.g. level requirement) are met. Note the general trading restrictions for upgraded items in the game.
Is there a fair price for a necklace on the player market?
Compare similar necklaces of the same type and upgrade level directly on the player market. Additional bonuses (from upgrades) increase value. New players should be cautious and seek advice from the Metin2 community if unsure.
Are there necklaces only for specific content like dungeons or events?
Yes, some necklaces like the Necklace of Harmony or Necklace of Love are tied to special content or events. These are typically rarer than standard necklaces from normal gameplay. Find current acquisition sources in the official wiki or in event announcements from Gameforge.
