Metin Stones are the namesake core elements of Metin2. They spawn in the overworld, attract hostile monsters, and must be destroyed by players. There are three variants – easy, normal, and hard – as well as a special Metin Stone Summoning Scroll that allows players to manually summon Metin Stones. If you want to level and farm efficiently, Metin Stones are essential.
What are Metin Stones?
Metin Stones are powerful stone obelisks that appear at various locations in the game world. Their appearance attracts groups of monsters to the area – destroying a Metin Stone is therefore always accompanied by combat. The Metin2 game world revolves thematically around fighting these stones, which defines the entire core gameplay of the game.
Metin Stones are documented in the English Wiki under the term "Metins", with "Metin Stone" and "Metin Stones" being direct references to this entry. This shows how central they are to the game concept.
The Three Difficulty Levels Overview
Metin Stones appear in three different difficulty levels. Each level presents different requirements for player character stats and equipment.
| Variant | Difficulty | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Metin Stone (Easy) | Low | Suitable for beginners and lower levels |
| Metin Stone (Normal) | Medium | Standard variant for the majority of gameplay |
| Metin Stone (Hard) | High | For experienced players with good equipment |
The English designation for all three types is "Metin Stone Spawner", which already indicates that destroying a Metin Stone spawns additional monsters. The term is used internationally in many languages, including Czech (Kámen Metin), Polish (Kamień Metin), and Hungarian (Metinkő).
Metin Stone Summoning Scroll: Spawn Metins On Demand
The Metin Stone Summoning Scroll is a special item that allows players to actively spawn Metin Stones instead of waiting for them to appear randomly. There are three different versions of the Summoning Scroll – one for each of the three difficulty levels.
This is particularly useful when you want to farm deliberately: instead of waiting for a suitable Metin Stone to appear, you can get started directly with the appropriate Summoning Scroll. You should check the current Wiki or consult the community for exact drop locations and requirements for the Scrolls, as this information can change with updates.
The Sungma Invasion Portal Earth
The Sungma Invasion Portal Earth is a special game element related to Metin Stones. Invasion portals mark locations in the game world where hostile forces are particularly strong. The Earth Portal is thematically linked to the Earth element, which affects the monsters and Metin Stone types found there.
If you're seeking out the Sungma Invasion Portal Earth, you should be prepared for well-equipped enemies. The Metin Stones in such invasion areas can be more challenging than regular field variants. It's recommended to farm in a group or equip your character adequately beforehand.
The Event: 5 Metin Stone Rings
As part of special events, there is the "5 Metin Stone Rings" event, which takes place during the Olympic Games and symbolises the Olympic logo. The five rings are represented by spawned Metins.
Important details about this event:
- The event takes place during the Olympic Games.
- The five Olympic rings are symbolised by spawned Metin Stones.
- Players must find the corresponding area themselves.
- The event is divided into different level ranges – each player finds a suitable challenge.
- The exact date can be found in the official event calendar of your server.
The event is particularly good for players who want to farm Metin Stones deliberately, as the spawned Metins fill the play area for a limited time.
Efficient Metin Stone Farming: Practical Tips
If you want to farm Metin Stones efficiently, you should keep a few basic points in mind:
- Choose difficulty level: Start with easy Metin Stones if you're still building up. Hard Metin Stones are only worth it with solid equipment.
- Use the Summoning Scroll: The Metin Stone Summoning Scroll enables controlled farming without waiting for respawns.
- Group play: Particularly hard Metin Stones and invasion portals are significantly more efficient to tackle in groups.
- Keep an eye on the event calendar: Events like the 5 Metin Stone Rings offer temporarily dense Metin Stone spawn rates – perfect for farming.
- Preparation: Top up potions and consumables before entering an invasion portal. There are many monsters there.
Metin Stones and Their Significance for Progression
Destroying Metin Stones in Metin2 isn't just a farming activity – it's the thematic core of the game. The name "Metin2" derives directly from these stones. Players who farm Metin Stones regularly benefit from:
- Experience points from companion monsters
- Item drops from surrounding monsters
- Progress in specific quests and tasks
- Participation in events like the 5 Metin Stone Rings
Metin Stones are thus a permanently relevant game element – from entry level to endgame. Those who know the three difficulty levels and use the Summoning Scroll wisely can significantly accelerate their progression.
