The horse in Metin2 is available from level 25 onwards and offers the fastest movement in the game – significantly faster than on foot. The entry point is the horse quest with the Stable Master. If you complete the quest successfully and bring the necessary gold, you can secure your own loyal companion. Additionally, there is the Weapon Horse Manual, which takes mounted combat to a new level. This guide explains everything you need to know about horses, feeding, resurrection and the Weapon Horse Manual.
Prerequisites: When can I get a horse?
The basic requirement is clear: you must have reached at least level 25. From this point onwards, you can accept the horse quest from the Stable Master. In addition to completing the quest, you also need sufficient silver or gold to actually purchase the horse. Once you have both, you'll soon have your own steed.
Besides the classic horse, there are a number of other mounts in Metin2 that are available through events or the item shop. These alternative mounts follow their own rules, while the classic horse content runs through the Stable Master.
Calling Your Horse: The "Call Horse" Skill
Riding is tied to the "Call Horse" skill. This skill indicates how reliably you can summon your horse. Each summon attempt costs mana points – and the amount varies depending on the horse type:
| Horse Type | Mana Costs per Summon |
|---|---|
| Normal Horse | 100 MP |
| Combat Steed | 200 MP |
| Military Steed | 300 MP |
The skill itself can be increased deliberately, which improves the success rate when summoning. Anyone who rides frequently should therefore invest in improving this skill.
Tip: With the Scroll of Forgetting you can level up your horse directly without waiting. One scroll costs 25 Dragon Coins (DC).
Feeding Your Horse: Keeping Your Companion Alive
Your horse is not immortal – it must be fed regularly. If your horse starves, it dies. The feeding frequency depends directly on the level of your horse: the lower the level, the more often you need to feed it. Additionally, each horse type needs specific food.
Feeding is done through the Horse Care Manual, which opens when you click on your horse. There you will find the following options:
- Feed: Gives your horse a piece of the appropriate food.
- Mount: You climb onto your horse and ride off.
- Dismiss: Sends your horse away when you don't need it.
Always keep an eye on your food supply, especially at low horse levels, as the feeding intervals are shorter there.
Resurrecting Your Horse: What to do if it starves?
If your horse has starved and died, it's not the end. You can resurrect it with a special herb. Important: resurrection always goes through the Stable Master – you cannot use the herb yourself.
The required herbs are dropped by Boss Apes in the Monkey Dungeon (MD). There are three difficulty levels of the Monkey Dungeon – easy, medium and hard – and depending on your horse type you need the appropriate herb from the corresponding dungeon. Find out which herb is needed for which horse type directly from the Stable Master.
| Horse Type | Herb Source |
|---|---|
| Normal Horse | Boss Ape in Monkey Dungeon (difficulty depends on horse type) |
| Combat Steed | Boss Ape in Monkey Dungeon (difficulty depends on horse type) |
| Military Steed | Boss Ape in Monkey Dungeon (difficulty depends on horse type) |
So keep a good supply of herbs on hand or plan regular runs in the Monkey Dungeon to react quickly in an emergency.
Horse Sugar: Bonus Defence and Custom Names
Since the patch on 9 June 2009, there is the so-called Horse Sugar in the item shop. It costs 49 Dragon Coins and provides two benefits for 30 days:
- You can give your horse a custom name – change it as you like and whenever you want.
- The defence value of your horse increases by +20.
Horse Sugar is a quality-of-life item with a small but measurable defensive bonus. It's particularly worthwhile for players who use their horse permanently.
The Weapon Horse Manual: Fighting on Horseback
The Weapon Horse Manual is a specialised item that expands mounted combat in Metin2. It is aimed at players who want to use their horse not just for movement, but actively in combat.
The Weapon Horse Manual belongs to the horse skill books, which unlock or improve specific mounted combat abilities. These manuals supplement the regular horse skills and are thus a central element for anyone who wants to get the full benefit from their mount. Those interested in exploring horse skills in more depth will find more information in the Horse Skills section.
Alternative Mounts: Events and Item Shop
The classic horse is not the only mount in Metin2. There are a variety of alternative mounts available in two ways:
- Events: Regular in-game events bring limited-time mounts that often feature unique visuals.
- Item Shop: Various mounts are permanently available in the shop for Dragon Coins.
These alternative mounts do not follow the same quest and feeding rules as the classic horse. They are mainly of interest to players who value additional comfort features or special aesthetics. You can find details on events on the official Events Overview page.
