The Peach Blossom (also known as Fleur de pêcher, Broskvový květ, or various names across Metin2 communities) is an herb in the Metin2 herbalism system. This system was introduced with the patch of 17 July 2007 and allows players to craft various potions through specialised NPCs — from simple basic potions to powerful expert potions. To use Peach Blossom efficiently, you must understand the three-tier NPC system and complete the associated quests.
What is Herbalism in Metin2?
Herbalism is a crafting subsystem in Metin2 that allows players to process collected herbs — including Peach Blossom — into potions through specific NPCs. There are three herb categories that are clearly separated:
- Herbs marked as "Potion Brewing" – the standard herbs for crafting potions with herbalism NPCs.
- Herbs marked as "Research" – special quest herbs that drop only from specific monsters during active quests and are intended solely for delivery to biologist Chaegirab. No potions can be crafted from them.
This system is structured in tiers: the higher the NPC level, the more and stronger potions can be brewed. Those interested in expert potions must therefore seek out the correct NPC.

The Three Herbalism NPCs Overview
The herbalism system is divided among three NPCs that offer different potion tiers. Which NPC you need to visit depends on which potions you want to craft.
Baek-Go – The Beginner NPC
Baek-Go is located in Village 1 (Map1). He is the first herbalism NPC players encounter in-game. Importantly: the "Herbalism" option only becomes available after completing the quest "Ingredient for Medicine". Additionally, you must reach at least level 15 to brew potions with Baek-Go.
Baek-Go can only brew basic potions. The selection is deliberately limited to essentials — ideal for beginners wanting to gain initial experience with the system.
Yu-Hwan – The Advanced NPC
Yu-Hwan is found in Village 2 (Map2). He offers a significantly broader range of potions compared to Baek-Go. With him, you can craft both all basic potions and advanced potions. Players who have grown beyond level 15 and need more powerful potions should approach Yu-Hwan.
Huahn-So – The Expert NPC
Huahn-So is the most powerful of the three herbalism NPCs and can be found at two locations: Village 2 (Map2) and Donganebene Village. He is the only NPC capable of brewing expert potions in addition to basic and advanced potions. This makes him essential for all players wishing to unlock the full potential of herbalism.
| NPC | Location | Basic Potions | Advanced Potions | Expert Potions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baek-Go | Village 1 (Map1) | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Yu-Hwan | Village 2 (Map2) | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
| Huahn-So | Village 2 (Map2) & Donganebene Village | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Biologist Chaegirab and Research Quests
Outside of potion crafting, herbalism features its own quest chain. Biologist Chaegirab is located on Map1 in a small camp and assigns players between level 4 and level 25 to multiple herb-gathering tasks.
These quest herbs are marked as "Research" and fundamentally differ from standard herbs:
- They drop exclusively during active quests from the specified monsters.
- Delivery to the biologist can fail — not every collected herb is accepted.
- You can only carry as many research herbs as you can still deliver.
- The biologist accepts only herbs marked as "Research" — standard potion-brewing herbs are rejected.
- Research herbs cannot be used to brew potions.
This clear separation ensures players reserve their standard herb stocks for potion crafting, whilst quest herbs are used exclusively for quest progression. Further details on individual quest steps can be found in the "Biologist's Investigation" section in the official wiki.
Tips for Efficient Herb Farming
- Start the quest first: Research herbs only drop when the corresponding quest is active. Farming beforehand is pointless.
- Monitor your inventory: The inventory limit for research herbs is determined by how many you can still deliver. Full bags slow progress.
- Visit the correct NPC: To brew advanced or expert potions from Peach Blossoms, visit Yu-Hwan (Map2) or Huahn-So — Baek-Go is insufficient.
- Complete Chaegirab's quest in time: The biologist is only relevant between levels 4 and 25. Missing this window means missing the quest chain.
- Mind the level requirement: Potion brewing with Baek-Go is only available from level 15 onwards. Potion crafting is inaccessible before this level.
Frequently Asked Questions About Peach Blossom & Herbalism
From what level can I use herbalism?
To brew potions with Baek-Go, you must reach at least level 15. Additionally, the "Ingredient for Medicine" quest must be completed before the herbalism option is unlocked with him.
Where do I find the herbalism NPC Baek-Go?
Baek-Go is located in Village 1 (Map1). He is the first and most basic herbalism NPC and can only craft basic potions.
Who can brew expert potions from Peach Blossoms?
Only Huahn-So can brew expert potions. He is found in Village 2 (Map2) and Donganebene Village. Neither Baek-Go nor Yu-Hwan possess this ability.
What is the difference between research herbs and potion-brewing herbs?
Research herbs drop only during active quests with Biologist Chaegirab and cannot be processed into potions. Potion-brewing herbs (standard herbs like Peach Blossom) are processed into potions by herbalism NPCs.
Can herb delivery to the biologist fail?
Yes. Delivery of research herbs to Chaegirab can fail, as not every herb is considered suitable. This is an intentional gameplay mechanic for herbalism quests.
Until what level are Biologist Chaegirab's quests relevant?
Biologist Chaegirab assigns herb quests to players between level 4 and level 25. After level 25, this quest chain is no longer available.
Is there Peach Flower Wine in Metin2?
Yes. Alongside Peach Blossom itself and Peach Blossom Juice, the game features Peach Flower Wine and a variant called Peach Flower Wine B. Both are part of the herbalism system.
Where do I find Yu-Hwan for advanced potions?
Yu-Hwan is located in Village 2 (Map2). With him, you can craft all basic potions and advanced potions — a clear step up from Baek-Go.
