MMORPG with a Mount System

The Horse System in Metin2

Metin2 has one of the most well-established mount systems among free-to-play MMORPGs. The horse is not merely a means of transport — it is a fully-fledged gameplay feature with its own quest line, upgrade system, and exclusive combat skills. Fighting in Metin2 on horseback is a genuinely different experience from fighting on foot.

The horse system is accessible through normal gameplay. The horse quests at a specific NPC guide you through the unlock process — completely without shop purchases. This system is one of the most frequently searched features within the British Metin2 community.

The Horse Quest Line — Step by Step

Preparation

The horse system opens up after a certain point of progress in the game. New players are guided through the early levels and then introduced to the mount system incrementally. The quest line is clearly structured and requires no outside help — though community guides are useful for finding the most efficient order of completion.

Completing the Quests

The horse quests span several stages. Each stage requires collecting specific items, defeating particular enemies, or visiting certain locations. The tasks are varied and provide their own mini progression path running alongside the main game.

Unlocking Your Horse

Once the quest line is complete, you receive your mount. The newly unlocked horse is just the beginning, not the finish line — now the upgrading begins.

Upgrading Your Horse

The horse can be improved over time. Higher tiers enhance its stats, unlock new combat skills, and in some cases alter its appearance. The upgrade system gives the mount genuine long-term progression value.

Combat on Horseback — a Unique Mechanic

What makes the Metin2 mount system stand out is this: mounted combat unlocks its own set of skills. These skills are available only on horseback and add an extra combat dimension to the regular skill set of your class. A Warrior on horseback fights differently from a Warrior on foot — and that is one of the system's great strengths.

• Increased movement speed while mounted
• Exclusive combat skills available only on horseback
• Improved stats from horse upgrades
• A visual upgrade to your character's appearance
• A strategic advantage in open PvP zones

Horse vs. Pet — Which Is Better?

Horses and pets are two separate systems in Metin2 — they are not mutually exclusive. The horse as a mount provides mobility and combat skills. The pet as a companion delivers combat support, loot bonuses, or healing. A well-prepared character makes use of both systems and chooses according to the situation: on horseback in open terrain, with the optimal pet at their side in dungeons.

Many players neglect the horse system in favour of developing their pet. That's a mistake — the horse skills offer real combat advantages, particularly in the open PvP zones between the three kingdoms.

The Three Kingdoms and Mounted PvP

Metin2 is divided into three rival kingdoms: Shinsoo (Red), Chunjo (Yellow), and Jinno (Blue). PvP between kingdoms takes place in open zones, and this is where the horse system really comes into its own. Mounted riders can reach enemy players more quickly, pursue them, and surprise them with mounted skills. For PvP-focused players, the horse is not an optional extra — it is a strategic necessity.
