Metin2 War Master Helmet – Helm Guide & Tips

The War Master Helmet is one of the class-specific helmets in Metin2. Like all helmets in the same level range, it shares the same base values with comparable class variants – only the name, appearance and the monsters that drop it are different. If you're looking for a helmet for your character, you mainly need to focus on the correct level range and your own class, not on the specific name.

Basics: How Helmets Work in Metin2

Helmets in Metin2 follow a unified system. Each of the five playable classes – Warrior, Sura, Ninja, Shaman and Lycan – has its own helmet variants that look appropriate for the class. The most important rule here: helmets of the same level have identical base values for all classes. So there's no gameplay advantage to preferring a specific helmet name, as long as the level range matches.

An exception is the level-80 helmets. These have different bonus properties compared to other helmet levels and therefore deserve special attention when planning your gear.

Upgrade Rules for Helmets

A key difference from weapons and armour: helmets cannot be improved with ores or spirit stones. This significantly limits upgrade options compared to other equipment slots. If you want to optimise your character, you should factor this into your resource planning and save ores and spirit stones for equipment pieces where they can actually be used.

For set helmets, there are special forging runes – the 1* Set Helmet Forging Rune and the 2* Set Helmet Forging Rune – which can be used via the forging rune system. These allow additional modifications within the scope of the respective rune system.

Classes and Their Helmet Variants

In Metin2, there are five classes, each with their own helmet design lines. The War Master Helmet is one of the variants from the Warrior branch. Here's an overview of the classes and their helmet systems:

Level-80 Helmets: The Exception in the System

The otherwise unified helmet system has one important exception: the level-80 helmets. For these, the bonus properties differ between classes, making them a relevant factor in optimising gear at high level. If you're on your way to endgame or already there, you should examine the bonus properties of the level-80 helmet for your class carefully.

Especially for classes with different playstyles – such as Warrior builds that focus on defence or offence – the bonus of the level-80 helmet can influence item choice. Find out more in the community or directly in-game about the specific bonuses before investing resources in a level-80 helmet.

Drop Sources and Acquisition

As with all class helmets in Metin2, the drop source varies depending on the helmet type. Different monsters and areas drop different helmet variants. Since the War Master Helmet is a Warrior-specific variant, you'll typically find it from monsters that are typical for the Warrior area.

As an alternative to direct acquisition through farming, there are the following ways to get helmets in Metin2:

• Monster Drop: Farmed directly from mobs in suitable areas
• Player Trade: Via the marketplace or direct exchange with other players
• Blacksmith: Certain forging runes allow the processing of set helmets

Practical Tips for Helmet Selection

When selecting a helmet for your Warrior character in Metin2, you should keep the following points in mind:

• Prioritise level range: Since all helmets of the same level have identical base values, what matters most is that the helmet matches your current character level.
• Pay attention to the level-80 exception: At level 80, bonus properties differ – a careful comparison is worthwhile before investing.
• No ore/spirit stone upgrades possible: Don't plan resources for helmets, save ores and spirit stones for other slots.
• Use set helmet runes: If you're wearing set helmets, you can achieve additional effects through 1* and 2* forging runes.
• Check market price: Since helmets cannot be upgraded with ores, market prices are often more stable than for other equipment pieces.

To further develop your character, it's also worth looking at matching armours and weapons. On Metin2.com you'll find more guides on Warrior builds, equipment and upgrades, forging runes, levelling strategies and farming tips.
