What is a Metin Stone in Metin2?
Metin Stones – also called Metins – are central gameplay elements in Metin2. They appear as large, glowing stones on various maps and areas of the game world. When you destroy a Metin Stone, you receive rewards in the form of items and materials. At the same time, Metin Stones continuously spawn enemies in their vicinity as long as they are active.
Metin Stones exist in three difficulty levels: easy, normal and hard. The Metin Stone (Normal) forms the middle level and is suitable for characters who have already gained some experience with easy Metin Stones and are now looking for a greater challenge.
The differences between the three levels lie mainly in the strength of the spawned enemies, the defensive power of the stone itself and the quality of the drops. Normal Metin Stones therefore offer a balanced ratio between effort and yield.
Metin Stones and the Invasion Portal System
In connection with the Sungma Invasion Portal, Metin Stones play a special role. The Invasion Portal is a special gameplay element that triggers the appearance of enemy forces on the game map. Metin Stones are the physical anchor points of this invasion – they symbolically represent the influence of Sungma on the game world.
The principle is simple: as long as a Metin Stone is active, Sungma's influence spreads into the respective area. Players who destroy the stone end this invasion locally and receive their rewards in return. Normal Metin Stones represent a medium invasion strength – stronger than an easy stone, but still manageable without high-grade equipment.
Differences Between the Three Metin Stone Levels
The three levels – easy, normal and hard – differ in several respects. Since the official wiki currently does not contain detailed numerical values for the individual levels, the basic differences are described here:
| Property | Easy | Normal | Hard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Difficulty Level | Low | Medium | High |
| Enemy Strength (spawn) | Low | Medium | Strong |
| Recommended Player Experience | Beginners | Advanced | Experienced Players |
| Drop Quality (general) | Basic Materials | Mid-Tier Items | High-Quality Items |
| Farming Requirement (Time Investment) | Low | Moderate | High |
Note: Concrete numerical values (exact stats, drop rates) are currently not listed in the official wiki sources. The table shows qualitative assessments based on game structure.
Metin Stone Rings and Events – Special Case: 5 Metin Stone Rings
In Metin2, besides normal farming of Metin Stones, there are also event formats based on Metin Stones. The most well-known is the "5 Metin Stone Rings" event, which takes place during the Olympic Games and is meant to symbolise the Olympic logo.
During this event, Metin Stones are spawned in certain areas representing the five rings. Players must discover the corresponding area themselves – it is not displayed directly. The event is divided into different level ranges so that both low-level and high-level characters can participate. The exact date can be found in the event calendar of the respective server.
Such events show how versatile Metin Stones are in Metin2 – they are not just farming objects, but also a structure-giving element in time-limited gameplay events.
Metin Stone Summoning Scroll – Item for Metin Stone Usage
Besides destroying Metin Stones, there is also the so-called Metin Stone Summoning Scroll in Metin2. This item exists in three different variants, each serving different purposes. The exact properties and differences of the three variants are currently listed in the official wiki without detailed description.
Basically, the Metin Stone Summoning Scroll allows players to summon or influence Metin Stones under certain conditions. Those who want to interact with Metin Stones deliberately should take a closer look at the various variants of the summoning scroll – they can optimise the farming process.
Tactics Tips for Metin Stone (Normal)
Even if the wiki doesn't provide exact stats, concrete recommendations can be derived based on the game principle:
- Clear enemies first: Before you actively strike the Metin Stone, clear the spawned enemies in the surrounding area. They can otherwise unnecessarily complicate the fight against the stone.
- Use mobility: Metin Stones spawn enemies in waves. Those who stay mobile and don't get trapped between the stone and enemies farm more efficiently.
- Consider character class: Melee fighters like Warrior or Sura can work the stone directly, while ranged attackers like Archer or Shaman can safely keep mobs at a distance.
- Group farming: Normal Metin Stones can be farmed solo, but it's faster in small groups. Especially when multiple enemies spawn simultaneously, support is worthwhile.
- Pack healing items: Healing potions should always be in your inventory. Enemy spawns can be unexpectedly strong with Normal Stones.
- Remember spawn times: Metin Stones respawn after a certain time. Those who know the spawn times of an area can farm there deliberately without waiting long.
Why Farm Metin Stones? Importance for Progression
Metin Stones in Metin2 are not just enemies to destroy – they are a fundamental part of the progression system. The drops from Metin Stones provide materials for upgrading equipment, raw materials for forging and occasionally rare items.
The Metin Stone (Normal) is particularly relevant for mid-game progression. Players who have already left the beginner areas behind and want to improve their equipment will find an efficient farming option here. The difficulty level is challenging enough to justify good drops, but not as harsh as hard Metin Stones.
Those who want to be successful in Metin2 long-term cannot avoid regular farming of Metin Stones. They are one of the most reliable sources for certain materials and make it possible to progress without spending real money.
