Metin2 Metamorphosis Suit & Armour Guide

Armour is one of the central equipment items for every character in Metin2. The most important point: armour values are 100% identical across all classes – whether Warrior, Ninja, Shaman, Sura or Lycan, the base values of an armour tier are the same for everyone. Differences exist exclusively in the name and appearance of each piece of clothing. Additionally, there is the so-called metamorphosis suit, which plays a special role in the game system.

The five classes and their armour

In Metin2 there are five playable classes, each with its own armour series:

• Warrior – heavy, imposing armour appearance suited to the melee class
• Ninja – lighter, more agile appearance for the nimble ranged fighter
• Shaman – mystically influenced garments for the support class
• Sura – dark, powerful armour designs for the magical fighter
• Lycan – nature-bound, robust equipment for the shapeshifter

Although each class has its own visual repertoire, the rule is: the defence values, bonuses and properties of armour at a certain level are absolutely identical for all classes. This design decision makes it much easier to compare armour since you don't have to memorise class-specific stat blocks.

Armour Values: What's Really Inside?

Since armour values are identical regardless of class, gear progression is greatly simplified. An armour of a certain tier offers the Warrior exactly the same base protection as the Lycan. This means:

• No hidden class advantage through armour types
• Visual variety without gameplay inequality
• Comparisons between players of different classes are fair and simple based on armour

When buying, crafting or upgrading an armour, you should primarily focus on the tier and upgrade level – not on the seller's class or the item's origin.

The Metamorphosis Suit in Metin2

The metamorphosis suit (also known as "Metamorphosis Suit" in the international community) is a special item concept in Metin2. The term "metamorphosis" suggests that this suit enables a change in your character's appearance – a system common in many MMORPGs where cosmetics and functionality are separated.

In the international Metin2 community, the metamorphosis suit is known by various names:

• German: Verwandlungsanzug
• English: Metamorphosis Suit
• French: Vêtement métamorphe
• Italian: Abito Metamorfosi
• Greek: Στολή Μεταμόρφωσης
• Romanian: Costum Metamorfoză

The broad international availability of the item shows that the metamorphosis suit is a permanent part of the global Metin2 experience, not just a regional peculiarity.

Buying Armour: The Armour Merchant

Armour in Metin2 can be obtained in various ways. One of the most direct methods is purchasing from the armour merchant, who can be found in most towns and settlements in the game. The armour merchant (also known as "Armor Shop Dealer" or internationally as "Marchand d'armures") offers a selection of class-specific armours suited to your current game progress.

Important tips when buying from the armour merchant:

• Focus on the armour tier, not the class name – the values are identical
• Remember that merchant armour typically has base quality and can still be enhanced
• For higher-tier equipment, player-to-player trading or crafting is often worthwhile

Armour Plans: Crafting Overview

In addition to direct purchase, Metin2 features a crafting system via armour plans. An armour plan (English: "Armour Design") allows you to craft armour – sometimes with better or more individual properties than purchased standard items. Additionally, there is the helmet plan, which specialises in the crafting of headgear.

The crafting system offers the following advantages over pure merchant purchases:

• Potential bonus properties through the crafting process
• Independence from merchant inventory for rare tiers
• Opportunity to work towards specific armour types

Enhance and Optimise Armour

Simply equipping armour is only the first step in Metin2. The game offers an extensive upgrade system that can make armour significantly stronger. In general, you should keep the following aspects in mind:

• Enhancement Levels: Armour can be brought to higher tiers with the appropriate materials and the right NPC, which increases defensive values.
• Bonus Properties: Many armours can carry additional attributes that specialise your character – such as increased magic resistance, more hit points or damage reduction.
• Use Armour Plans: Those who prefer crafted armour can use armour plans to specifically target items with desired properties.

Since the base values of all class armours are identical, it makes no difference when upgrading whether you bring a Warrior or Ninja armour to tier X – the effort and result are the same.
