Metin2 Trading & Yang Guide

Yang — Metin2's In-Game Currency

Yang is the primary in-game currency in Metin2. You use it to buy equipment from NPCs and other players, pay for services, and invest in the upgrade system. Yang is the foundation of the entire player economy and plays a decisive role in how quickly you can build up your character.

You earn Yang by: killing monsters (direct Yang drops), selling loot items, completing quests, and trading on the player market. The higher your character's level and the better your farming area, the more Yang you earn per hour.

Best Methods to Earn Yang

Farming and Selling Metin Stone Drops

When you defeat Metin Stones, they drop various items that can be sold to other players or NPCs. Certain drops from Metin Stones are particularly sought-after and fetch high prices on the player market. For newcomers, this is the most accessible way to start earning Yang.

Trading Dungeon Drops

Dungeons offer some of the most valuable item drops in the game. Dungeon-exclusive items are always in demand on the player market, since not every player has the time or gear for regular dungeon runs. Those who farm dungeons efficiently can earn considerable amounts of Yang by selling the drops.

Snake Temple Items (Most Valuable Drops)

The Snake Temple is the high-level endgame zone and offers the most valuable drop opportunities in the game. Players who meet the requirements and run the Snake Temple regularly can earn substantial Yang per session by selling rare items. Snake Temple drops are always in strong demand.

Selling Biolog Quest Items

The Biolog Quests require specific materials that drop from monsters. These materials are always in demand, as many players are actively working through the Biolog questline. Farming and selling these materials specifically yields consistent Yang income — the demand never dries up.

Crafting and Alchemy Products

The crafting system allows the production of potions, materials, and other consumables. Players who source cheap raw materials and craft desirable goods from them can pocket the price difference as profit. Alchemy products in particular enjoy consistently steady demand.

The Player Market — Buying and Selling

The player market is the central trading platform in Metin2. Characters can offer items for other players to buy and purchase items from other players. The market enables fair price discovery and is the backbone of the entire in-game economy.

How to Sell Items

1. Open your market stall in a trading zone
2. Place items from your inventory into the stall
3. Set a price — check current market prices beforehand
4. Other players can visit your stall and make purchases

How to Buy Items

Browse active market stalls in trading zones or use the market search to find specific items. Compare prices from multiple sellers before you buy.

Price Discovery — Spotting a Fair Price

You can identify fair prices by: comparing multiple stalls selling the same item, asking the community for ballpark figures, and observing price trends over time. Items with high demand and low supply command high prices — conversely, prices drop when supply outstrips demand.

Trading Tips — What's Always in Demand

• Consumables: Potions and scrolls are always needed — reliable, steady demand.
• Upgrade materials: Always sought-after, as every player wants to improve their gear.
• Biolog materials: Constant demand from new and active players alike.
• Exploit rarity: Rare items from events or dungeons can be sold at premium prices.
• Watch the timing: Prices for certain items spike briefly right after updates or events.

Yang vs. Dragoncoins — the In-Game Economy

Yang and Dragoncoins are both currencies in Metin2, but they serve different purposes. Yang is the universal player-to-player trading currency for all in-game items. Dragoncoins are the premium currency and are used exclusively in the official Item Shop (Nesne Market) for shop items.

Importantly: Dragoncoins cannot be earned through normal gameplay — they must be purchased via Gameforge (or are, in rare cases, obtainable through events). Yang, on the other hand, is earned purely by playing. Both currencies complement each other but do not directly overlap.
