Metin Stones are the central monsters in Metin2 – without them, the game would not exist, literally, because the game's name is derived directly from them. A Metin Stone is a stone-like monster object that spawns on the map and drops items and experience points upon defeat. There are three difficulty levels: easy, normal, and hard. Each level has different values and drops, and defeating them is part of the daily core gameplay for every character.
What are Metin Stones? Basics for Beginners
Metin Stones appear regularly on all maps of Metin2. They stand still on the map, spawn enemies in their vicinity, and must be actively fought. Whoever defeats a Metin Stone benefits from drops and gains experience. The principle is simple, but the depth lies in the details: Which difficulty level is right for my level? Which map is currently worthwhile? When is it worth using a summon scroll?
The term "Metin Stone" is redirected directly to the overarching category "Metins" in the English wiki. This shows that Metin Stones and Metins mean the same thing in the game context – they are the same monster group in different variations.
The Three Difficulty Levels at a Glance
Metin Stones appear in three variants that differ in strength and rewards:
- Metin Stone (Easy): Suitable for lower level ranges. Less resistant, but also with lower drop chances for high-value items.
- Metin Stone (Normal): The middle variant. Balanced relationship between effort and reward for mid-level characters.
- Metin Stone (Hard): The most demanding variant. Requires more damage and defensive stats, rewards accordingly with better drops.
Important: The wiki pages of all three variants refer internationally to the same translation structure – such as English "Metin Stone Spawner", Czech "Kámen Metin" or Polish "Kamień Metin". This shows that the division into easy, normal and hard applies throughout the entire international Metin2 universe.
| Type | Difficulty | Target Audience | Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metin Stone (Easy) | Low | Low to mid-level characters | Introduction to Metin farming |
| Metin Stone (Normal) | Medium | Mid-level characters | Balanced farming option |
| Metin Stone (Hard) | High | High-level characters | Better drop chances, more effort required |
Metin Stone Summon Scroll: Spawn Your Own Metins
In addition to regularly appearing Metin Stones, there is the Metin Stone Summon Scroll. This allows players to deliberately spawn Metin Stones rather than waiting for them to appear naturally. There are three different summon scroll types – matching the three difficulty levels.
Using a summon scroll is particularly useful when:
- No suitable Metin Stone is currently present on the map
- A farming session needs to be planned efficiently
- Event goals (e.g. with the 5 Metin Stone Rings) need to be met quickly
Summon scrolls are available in-game and are among the practical consumables for active farmers. The exact way to obtain them varies depending on the server version and game status.
Event: 5 Metin Stone Rings – Seasonal Farming with Level Zones
The "5 Metin Stone Rings" event is one of the well-known special events in Metin2. It is modelled on the Olympic Games and represents the Olympic symbol – five interlocking rings – through spawned Metin Stones on certain maps.
Three important characteristics of this event:
- Find the area yourself: The appropriate event area is not directly displayed. Players must find it themselves on the map.
- Level ranges: The event is divided into different level sections. Not every zone is accessible or worthwhile for every character.
- Timing: The exact timeframe of the event varies by server. The event calendar in-game provides information on current dates.
The event combines classic Metin farming with the thrill of discovery: whoever finds the right area can farm efficiently and receive event rewards at the same time.
Sungma Invasion Portal and Wind Metins: Overview
The Sungma area is one of the advanced zones in Metin2 where invasion portals play a role. Invasion portals appear as part of invasion events where strengthened enemies and special Metin Stones appear on the map. Wind Metins refer to a thematic variant within this invasion mechanic.
The same basic rules apply to farming in invasion scenarios as for regular Metin Stones:
- Difficulty level and your own strength must match each other
- The surrounding enemies spawned by the stone can be more dangerous than the stone itself
- Group farming can be more effective than solo farming in higher invasion zones
Invasions often offer time-limited farming opportunities with increased drop rates or special drops – it's worth being active when an invasion event is running.
Practical Farming Tips for Metin Stones
If you want to farm Metin Stones efficiently, you should consider the following points:
- Level Matching: Choose the appropriate difficulty level. A Metin Stone that is too easy brings little experience, one that is too difficult costs unnecessary potions.
- Map Knowledge: Each map has specific spawn points for Metin Stones. Knowing these allows you to farm a round more efficiently.
- Use Summon Scrolls: If no Metins are available, a summon scroll saves time.
- Pay Attention to Surrounding Enemies: Metin Stones spawn additional monsters when attacked. Ignoring this can quickly overwhelm you.
- Monitor Events: During active events like 5 Metin Stone Rings or Invasions, farming yields increase significantly.
- Class Adaptation: Melee fighters (Warrior, Ninja) fight Metins differently than ranged fighters or Mages. Use your class strength strategically.
Frequently Asked Questions About Metin Stones
What is the difference between Metin Stone Easy, Normal, and Hard?
The three variants differ in strength, spawned companion enemies, and possible drops. Easy Metin Stones are designed for lower levels, hard ones reward higher levels with better items.
What do I need a Metin Stone Summon Scroll for?
With a summon scroll, you can deliberately spawn a Metin Stone on the current map without waiting for natural spawning. There are three different summon scrolls matching the three difficulty levels.
How does the "5 Metin Stone Rings" event work?
The event is modelled on the Olympic Games. Five Metin Stones spawn in a specific area that players must find themselves. The event is divided into different level ranges and takes place according to the event calendar of each server.
Can I farm Metin Stones solo?
Yes, easy and normal Metin Stones are good for solo farming. For hard Metin Stones and especially for invasion events in areas like Sungma, group farming can be more efficient.
What are Invasion Portals in relation to Metin Stones?
Invasion portals appear during special invasion events and bring strengthened Metin Stones and enemies to the map. Wind Metin Stones are a thematic variant of these invasion Metins.
Where do I find the right area for the 5 Metin Stone Rings event?
The wiki states that the area must be found yourself – it is not automatically displayed. Search level-appropriate maps for unusual Metin Stone clusters.
When do invasions and events with Metin Stones take place?
Events like the 5 Metin Stone Rings are time-limited and server-dependent. You can find the exact timeframe in the event calendar within the game or on the official Metin2 website.
Is using summon scrolls economically worthwhile?
This depends on the current market value of the summon scrolls and the expected drops. Generally, summon scrolls are useful when time is limited or when farming specific drops. With passive farming without time pressure, natural spawning may be sufficient.
