Metin2 Moonlight Weapons

What Are Moonlight Weapons?

Moonlight Weapons are an alternative endgame weapon line in Metin2, existing alongside the classic Snake weapons. Whilst Snake weapons drop in the Snake Temple, Moonlight Weapons are crafted through an elaborate crafting system. Their mystical moonlit design sets them apart visually from all other weapons.

Moonlight Weapons are optimised for specific build aspects and playstyles, and in certain situations they can even surpass Snake weapons. They offer a valuable alternative for players who want to avoid the farming grind in the Snake Temple or simply prefer a different approach.

Crafting Moonlight Weapons

The Crafting System

Unlike Snake weapons, which are found as drops in the Snake Temple, Moonlight Weapons must be actively crafted. The crafting process requires several ingredients and a visit to the appropriate crafting NPC.

Required Materials

The exact materials vary by weapon, but generally you will need:

• Moonlight Crystals: The primary crafting material, obtained from high-level instances
• Moon Essence: A rare material from specific endgame bosses
• Crafting Components: Various metals and magical ingredients
• Yang: Crafting fees for the NPC
• Optional: Quality enhancers for better results

The Crafting Process

1. Gather all materials (this is often the most time-consuming part)
2. Locate the Moonlight crafting NPC
3. Select the desired weapon recipe
4. Insert the materials and pay the fee
5. Wait for the craft — success is not always guaranteed

Comparison: Moonlight Weapons vs. Snake Weapons

Moonlight Weapons are interesting for builds that benefit from their specific bonuses. In particular, builds focused on magical damage or certain status effects may perform better with Moonlight Weapons than with Snake weapons.

Which Builds Suit Moonlight Weapons Better?

Magic-Focused Builds

Shamans and magic Suras relying on high magical damage will often benefit more from Moonlight Weapons than from the primarily melee-oriented Snake weapons. The Moonlight Bell is a serious alternative to the Snake Fan for healer Shamans.

Bow Ninja

For the bow Ninja build, Moonlight Weapons offer interesting options, since there is no single clear best Snake bow equivalent. The Moonlight Bow can be the preferred choice in certain builds.

Obtaining Crafting Materials

The hardest part of Moonlight Weapon crafting is sourcing the materials:

• Moonlight Crystals drop in endgame dungeons such as the Meley or Jotun dungeon
• Moon Essence is rare and comes from specific boss kills
• Crafting components can be farmed or purchased from the auction house
• Events can speed up material acquisition considerably
