What are necklaces in Metin2?
Necklaces are part of Metin2's accessory category and occupy the necklace slot on your character. The key advantage over other equipment slots: every class – whether Warrior, Ninja, Sura, Shaman or Lycan – can equip every necklace equally. There are no class-specific restrictions. This makes necklaces one of the most flexible pieces of equipment in the game.
Like belts, rings and bracelets, necklaces can be upgraded using ores. This means you can increase their values through targeted upgrades and permanently strengthen your character. Necklaces are therefore not just a cosmetic item, but a fixed part of any serious build.
Overview: Necklace Types in Metin2
Metin2 features various necklace types that differ in material, rarity and stats. The most well-known representatives are:
| Name | Material / Type | Class Restriction | Upgradeable with Ores |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Necklace | Gold | None | Yes |
| Amethyst Necklace | Amethyst (Gemstone) | None | Yes |
| Ebony Necklace | Ebony | None | Yes |
| Necklace of Harmony | Special | None | Yes |
| Necklace of Love | Special | None | Yes |
The list shows that Metin2 offers a wide range of necklaces, from simple gold jewellery to special variants like the Necklace of Harmony or Necklace of Love. Which one you pursue depends on your progression and build goals.
Upgrading Necklaces: How the Upgrade System Works
Upgrading necklaces in Metin2 is done through the ore system – the same system used for belts, rings and bracelets. You need corresponding ores, which you can farm or acquire through trading in the game.
Important points when upgrading:
- Ores as upgrade material: Necklaces are not enhanced with stones like weapons, but specifically with ores. Make sure you have the right ores for the respective item.
- Same mechanics as other accessories: The upgrade system for necklaces is identical to that for belts, rings and bracelets. Knowledge from one area can be directly transferred.
- No class dependency: Since all classes can wear all necklaces, an upgraded piece is also reusable when switching classes or for alts.
Which necklace is right for your build?
Since wiki sources don't provide exact stat values for individual necklaces, the general rule of thumb is: choose your necklace based on your current progression stage and available resources. Generally, it's worthwhile to invest in better necklaces early on, as the necklace slot remains occupied permanently and upgrades aren't lost if you keep the necklace.
For all classes, the same basic rule applies: an upgraded necklace often beats an unupgraded higher-rarity necklace in practice. Upgrades are long-term investments of Yang and ores – so plan which necklace you want to keep long-term before investing resources.
The Necklace of Harmony and Necklace of Love
Two special necklace types stand out in Metin2: the Necklace of Harmony and the Necklace of Love. Both are featured in multiple language versions of the game and are thus globally available items – not server-exclusive content.
Both necklaces fall into the special accessory category. Like all other necklaces, they can be worn by all classes and upgraded with ores. For exact values and sources, we recommend checking the current official Metin2 wiki or getting in touch with the Metin2 community, as detailed values may vary depending on server status.
Farming and Trading Necklaces: Practical Tips
Necklaces can be acquired in Metin2 in various ways. Since exact drop sources aren't listed in wiki sources, here are some general hints based on community experience:
- Use player trading: Many necklaces are tradeable. The player market is often the fastest source for specific items.
- Farm ores separately: Invest time in farming ores before you buy a high-end necklace. Upgraded necklaces are usually more expensive, but you can also buy a basic necklace cheaply and upgrade it yourself.
- Compare before buying: Since all classes can wear all necklaces, demand for top-tier necklaces is high. Compare prices on the player market before you buy.
- Alt considerations: Necklaces are great for alts since there are no class restrictions. A single high-quality piece can be relevant for multiple characters.
Necklaces Compared to Other Accessory Slots
In Metin2, in addition to the necklace slot, there are other accessory slots for rings, belts and bracelets. All four share the upgrade system via ores. The necklace slot offers no fundamental mechanical differences over other slots – the difference lies in the stats and availability of individual items.
| Slot | Class Restriction | Upgradeable with Ores | Number of Slots |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necklace | None | Yes | 1 |
| Ring | None (Accessory category) | Yes | 1 |
| Belt | None (Accessory category) | Yes | 1 |
| Bracelet | None (Accessory category) | Yes | 1 |
This shows that anyone wanting to optimise their character should keep all four accessory slots in mind. A strong necklace alone isn't enough – only a fully upgraded accessory set makes the difference in challenging content.
