Metin2 Onyx Plate Armour – Equipment Guide

What is Onyx Plate Armour?

Onyx Plate Armour is equipment in Metin2 and belongs to the category of class-bound equipment items. As with all armour in Metin2: Onyx Plate Armour exists in a version for each playable class – Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, Sura and Lycan. The base values are 100% identical across all classes; the difference lies exclusively in the name and visual appearance of the item.

This makes Onyx Plate Armour an item whose basic properties can be evaluated independently of class. A player looking for the armour for their Warrior will find it under a different name than a Sura player – but the decision of whether the item is good does not depend on the class.

The Armour System in Metin2 – Basics

In Metin2, armour is strictly divided by class. There are five playable classes, and each has its own armour series:

• Warrior – own Warrior armour
• Ninja – own Ninja armour
• Shaman – own Shaman armour
• Sura – own Sura armour
• Lycan – own Lycan armour

The most important basic principle of the system: The values of all equivalent armour are identical across classes. Onyx Plate Armour for the Warrior has the same base values as the corresponding Onyx Plate Armour for the Ninja or the Lycan. Only the name and 3D model differ, so each class remains visually recognisable.

This system has a practical advantage for players: you don't need to study five separate lists when comparing armour. A tier comparison applies equally to all classes.

Class-Specific Names of Onyx Plate Armour

Since Onyx Plate Armour has a different name depending on the class, here is an overview of the relevant naming structure. The exact designations per class follow the standard Metin2 naming scheme, in which the armour type is combined with the class name.

Where to Get Armour in Metin2?

In Metin2, there are several ways to obtain armour like Onyx Plate Armour. The most direct way is through the Armour Merchant – a specialised NPC found in the towns of the game. There you can buy armour, provided you have the necessary Yang (in-game currency) and meet the item's requirements.

Beyond that, there are other acquisition methods that are typically relevant in Metin2:

• Monster Drops: Armour can be dropped by enemies in the game world.
• Player Trading: Via the marketplace or direct trades between players.
• Armour Blueprint: For certain armour types, there is an Armour Blueprint in Metin2 with which items can be crafted. Corresponding blueprints also exist for helmets (Helmet Blueprint).

Which method is most efficient for Onyx Plate Armour depends on the current server status and your own playing situation. However, the Armour Merchant is always the most reliable first point of contact.

Armour Blueprints – Crafting Overview

The crafting system in Metin2 allows players to craft certain armour via Armour Blueprints. These blueprints are separate items in the game and must be obtained first before the crafting process begins. In addition to the general Armour Blueprint, there are also specialised variants such as the Helmet Blueprint, which is specifically used for crafting helmets.

The advantage of crafting over buying from the Armour Merchant is that you can work towards specific items that are not or rarely available at the merchant. If you can't drop or buy Onyx Plate Armour, you should check if a corresponding Armour Blueprint exists and can be obtained.

Tips for Using Armour in Metin2

The armour system in Metin2 offers further optimisation options beyond mere acquisition:

• Upgrade System: Armour can be upgraded to improve its values. However, the risk of damage or downgrade should be considered beforehand.
• Bonus System: Many armour pieces can be equipped with additional bonuses, which are triggered via forging processes or items.
• Class Choice is Secondary: Since all classes receive identical armour values, investing in good armour is worthwhile regardless of which class you play.
• Compare Merchant Prices: Armour merchants on different maps may have different availability – worth checking.
• Inventory Management: Armour takes up storage space. Sell or store unneeded items to make room for more important drops.

International Names of Onyx Plate Armour

Since Metin2 is an international game played in many countries, Onyx Plate Armour bears different names in various language versions. This is relevant if you're searching for the item in English-speaking forums, international wikis, or when playing on non-German servers.
