Metin2 Trading: Yang, Won, Bazaar and Private Shops

Trading in Metin2 is based on Yang, Won, private shops, the Bazaar and direct trading between players. In addition, tradeable Item Shop items and Dragoncoin vouchers can be part of the player market because they can be bought and sold for in-game currency.

Summary

Yang is the primary in-game currency in Metin2. For large amounts, Won is also used. 1 Won equals 100,000,000 Yang.

Private shops are opened in the Bazaar. To do this, you use a Bundle or Cashmere Bundle, list items and set prices in Yang or Won. The Trade Glass and Search Glass can be used to find offers more precisely.

In addition to private shops, there is direct trading via the Trade Window. For longer selling periods, the personal Premium Shop can be used, which enables offline shop functionality.

Yang in Metin2

Yang is the basic currency in Metin2. You need Yang for trading, purchases from NPCs, fees and various services.

You can obtain Yang through, among other things:

  • defeated monsters
  • completed quests
  • sales to NPCs
  • sales to other players
  • exchange of Won for Yang

Since Yang is used directly in trading, it forms the basis for many purchases and sales between players.

Won as a Second Trading Currency

Won is another important currency in the trading system. It is primarily used for large amounts.

1 Won equals 100,000,000 Yang.

Won makes large trade values clearer. The exchange of Yang for Won is associated with a fee. The exchange of Won back to Yang is free of charge.

Won is particularly relevant for expensive items, private shops and larger trading transactions between players.

Bazaar and Private Shops

The Bazaar is the central area for private shops. There, players can open their own shops and offer items to other players for purchase.

To open a private shop, you need an appropriate shop item. These mainly include:

  • Bundle
  • Cashmere Bundle

In a private shop, you place items from your inventory and set a price for each item. Prices can be specified in Yang and/or Won.

Bundle and Cashmere Bundle

The Bundle enables a normal private shop. With it, you can list items and sell them to other players.

The Cashmere Bundle extends this functionality. It offers more space for sales items, additional customisation options and stores already entered prices. This is particularly practical if you trade regularly or with many items.

Trade Glass and Search Glass

The Trade Glass and the Search Glass help you find offers in private shops more quickly.

The Trade Glass enables targeted search for items and direct purchase of a found item.

The Search Glass also helps with searching, but does not lead directly to purchase. It shows or marks the matching shop so that the purchase then takes place there.

Both items are useful if you want to compare prices or find specific items more quickly.

Offline Shop and Personal Premium Shop

The personal Premium Shop extends the normal trading system with offline shop functionality. It builds on the private shop and allows you to offer items over a longer period without being constantly active on the Bazaar with a normal shop.

The personal Premium Shop is activated via a corresponding item or buff. After that, the shop can be managed. Income from sales can be collected later. After the term expires, the shop is closed.

The offline shop is particularly practical if you want to sell items for a longer period without having to be constantly in the game with a character.

Direct Trading via Trade Window

In addition to private shops, there is direct trading between two players. The Trade Window is used for this.

In the Trade Window, both players can place items and Yang. Before completing the trade, you should carefully check:

  • which character you are trading with
  • which items are in the window
  • what Yang amount is entered
  • whether anything has changed before confirmation

Direct trading is suitable for agreed purchases and sales. Private shops and offline shops are better suited for open offers on the Bazaar.

Taxes and Fees

Taxes and fees may apply when trading. These include:

  • sales tax on private shops
  • reduced tax on the offline shop
  • fee for exchanging Yang for Won

These costs affect how much Yang or Won actually reaches the seller at the end. You should therefore take them into account when setting prices.

Item Shop Items in Trading

Many Item Shop items are tradeable between players. This allows them to be bought and sold in-game for in-game currency.

This connects the Item Shop with the player market. One player can sell a tradeable Item Shop item while another player buys it with in-game currency.

Dragoncoin vouchers are also relevant for trading. Such vouchers can be sold in-game for in-game currency. Buyers can redeem them and receive the corresponding amount of Dragoncoins credited to their Item Shop account.

This allows certain Item Shop features to be financed through in-game trading without directly charging Dragoncoins yourself.

Dragoncoins and Item Shop

Dragoncoins are the currency of the Item Shop. With them you can buy shop items.

For trading, it is mainly important that some Item Shop items are tradeable and can thus become part of the player market. Specific Euro rates, price lists or individual shop offers are not decisive for the trading system.

Trading Routes in Metin2

In Metin2 there are several important trading routes:

  • private shops on the Bazaar
  • offline shop via the personal Premium Shop
  • direct trading via the Trade Window
  • buying and selling tradeable Item Shop items
  • trading Dragoncoin vouchers for in-game currency

Private shops and offline shops are suitable for public sales offers. The Trade Window is suitable for direct agreements between two players. Search items help you find matching offers more quickly.

Trade Safely

Check carefully before every trade what you are buying or selling. Especially with direct trading, you should check the player name, items and Yang amount before confirming.

When purchasing through private shops, it is worth comparing prices. Pay special attention to expensive items to see whether the price is specified in Yang, Won or a combination of both.

When selling, you should take taxes and fees into account. This prevents a sale from bringing in less than expected.
