Why Necklaces Matter So Much

Necklaces are one of the most important jewellery slots in Metin2. Whilst beginners often focus first on their weapon and armour, high-quality necklaces can massively increase a character's potential. A good necklace provides crucial bonuses to HP, mana, resistances and attack values — making the difference between an average and a powerful character.

In the endgame, necklaces are chosen with the specific needs of each class in mind. Shamans look for different bonuses than Warriors, and PvP players prioritise different stats than PvE players. Investing in a good necklace always pays off in the long run.

Necklace Quality and Bonus Types

Like all equipment in Metin2, necklaces come in various quality tiers. Normal necklaces have no bonuses or just one, whilst rare and legendary pieces combine several valuable bonuses.

The Most Important Bonus Types on Necklaces

Maximum HP: Increases your health pool — crucial for tanks and melee fighters
Maximum MP: Expands your mana reserve — valuable for Shamans and magical builds
HP Regeneration: Passive healing during combat — one of the most coveted bonuses
Physical Resistance: Reduces incoming physical damage
Magic Resistance: Reduces incoming magic damage — especially important in PvP
Attack Value: Direct damage increase for offensive builds

Where to Get Good Necklaces

Necklaces can be obtained in a number of ways. Understanding all sources helps you target the right pieces efficiently:

Boss Drops: Powerful open-world bosses regularly drop necklaces of medium to high quality
Dungeons: Dungeon bosses such as Tigerghost or Nemere have a chance to drop high-quality jewellery
Player Market: Players can buy necklaces directly from each other — often the quickest route to good gear
Events: Seasonal events sometimes offer unique necklaces as rewards
Farming Metin Stones: Killing Metin Stones can generate jewellery drops

Upgrading Necklaces and Combining with Stones

Necklaces can also be improved through the Plus system and alchemy stones. The Plus system enhances existing bonuses, whilst alchemy stones can add new attributes. In the endgame especially, combining a high Plus level with good alchemy stones is what separates good from great.

A word of advice when upgrading necklaces: only invest significant resources once you are certain the necklace's bonuses match your build. A well-upgraded necklace with the wrong bonuses is worth less than a moderately upgraded one with perfect stats.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metin2 Necklaces

Which necklace is the best in Metin2?

The best necklace depends on your class. Generally valuable are necklaces with high HP regeneration or resistance against common damage types.

Where do I get necklaces?

Necklaces drop from bosses and in dungeons, or you can buy them on the player market.

Can necklaces be destroyed?

When upgrading via the Plus system there is a failure chance. Depending on your settings, a necklace may lose a Plus level on failure, but cannot be destroyed outright — provided you use protection items. Always protect valuable necklaces when upgrading.
