Foreword

Press F7 (or the button on the minimap): the biologist asks for one item at a time and every mission you complete leaves a permanent bonus that adds up with the previous ones. There are 13 missions, from level 30 to 105.

Each delivery succeeds 60% of the time, then there is a wait: 10 minutes at the start, up to 3 hours at the end. Tick the Researcher's Elixir to make the delivery always succeed and the Biologist Time Remover to skip the wait. Each mission closes with its Spirit Stone.

From level 60 you choose the bonus: for example +4% against Metin stones or against bosses, +1,000 HP or +10% casting speed, up to +10% against bosses or against players at level 105. The Biologist Shop sells the items and the Spirit Stones.

Your pet hatches from an egg in the Incubator (a name of at least 4 letters, 100,000 yang) and is managed with the P key. It grows up to level 120 with experience food, which gives half of the experience missing to the next level.

It has 3 base bonuses that rise up to +4,000 HP, +10% piercing and +10% critical, and 3 skill slots you fill with books: 29 different skills, up to level 20, such as double EXP, double yang, drop or strong against Metin stones and bosses.

At levels 40, 75 and 100 it stops: with the evolution items (books and pearls) it evolves and grows again. The Protein Snack extends your pet's life by 7 days at a time.

Open Auto hunt from the expanded taskbar, set the radius (up to 60 m, shown on the minimap), choose monsters, Metin stones or both, drag up to 6 skills into the rotation and press Start: your character fights and picks up items and yang by itself.

It uses EXP Ring, Thief's Gloves, Cape of Courage and Potion of Wisdom on its own if you have them. After a disconnection or a map change it starts again by itself; if you die you revive on the spot after 10 seconds (up to 3 times), and if the character gets stuck it stops and gives you back the lost seconds.

Time is bought in packs of 1, 3 or 12 hours, adds up to 30 days and is shared by all the characters of your account; it only runs while the hunt is on. Warnings 10 minutes and 1 minute before the end, automatic renewal if you want it, and every Vote4Buff vote gives 20 free minutes.

A shaman of your own: use the Portable Shaman (it is in your starting kit and comes again at level 35), press Y and then Summon. It follows you while hunting and in dungeons and casts six skills by itself: Blessing, Reflection, Dragon's Aid, Swiftness, Attack Up and Heal.

Buffs last 24 hours and are recast as soon as they are missing, even after you die; Heal kicks in when your HP drops to 30%. The Shamy grows to level 105 with the experience of the monsters you kill: from level 10 all its skills are Perfect, and every level gives it 3 Intelligence points (up to 240) that make the buffs stronger.

From the window you can switch off single buffs, rename it and change its sex. It cannot be summoned if it is more than 30 levels above you, nor in wars, arenas and the Brawl.

There is no single gear path: some sets are built for player versus player combat, others for monster hunting, with different bonuses.

You climb through the sets as you grow, up to level 165.

Six talismans — Fire, Ice, Earth, Darkness, Wind and Lightning — worn in the pendant slot. They are born from the Metin stones of the Elemental Land: one map split into six regions, one per element, where the stones respawn every 10 seconds and drop the +0 talisman of their region 3% of the time, along with fragments and gems.

Up to +100 (from level 40) every step adds 1 point of elemental power: fragment, gem and 6,500,000 yang, 75% success. From level 165 you go up to +150: power reaches 120 and you also gain Resistance to the element and Strong against bosses, up to +14.

Careful: if an upgrade fails, the talisman is lost. The Pelagia Chest, dropped by the boss Pelagia 70% of the time, always holds a random talisman; the Talisman Enchant rerolls its bonuses.

Stoles are worked by Theowahdan, in the capitals and in the Arena of the Damned. Four grades: Simple (1%), Fine (5%), Noble (10%) and Tailored, which absorbs from 11% to 25%.

Combination: two stoles of the same grade go up to the next one — Simple→Fine 80% for 100,000 yang, Fine→Noble 70% for 200,000, Noble→Tailored 50% for 300,000 — and two Tailored stoles together add 1 to 5 points, up to 25%. If it fails you only lose the second stole.

Absorption: the stole permanently takes the bonuses of a weapon or armour (which is used up), plus that percentage of its attack or defence. It is done once per stole: choose the piece well.

Press H (or the Wiki button on the taskbar): 14 categories and 60 entries inside the client. Levelling guides by range (1-90, 90-125, 125-140, 140-165), PvP sets and equipment, costumes, mounts and pets, chests, bosses, monsters, Metin stones, 10 systems and 10 dungeons.

Two searches, by item and by monster, with suggestions as you type: for an item you see which chests and monsters drop it and what you need to refine it, for a monster its 3D model and its drops. Every dungeon page has phases, difficulty, recommended bonuses and talisman, and boss drops.

Open the Shop search from the expanded taskbar and look up any item by name or category — weapons, equipment, costumes, Dragon Alchemy, books, pets, mounts: you see who sells it, how many and at what price, across every open shop.

Filter by class, level, price range, refinement, sex and stole absorption. With More filters you search for a bonus with a minimum value, free sockets or a specific seller, and hide duplicates. Sort by price, level, name or quantity, up to 300 results per page.

Select one or more items and press Buy: you buy straight from the window. If someone else buys an item first, the list updates in real time.

Press F9, drop the item into one of the 5 slots and set up to 5 bonuses in two alternatives. Press Start: the Switchbot rerolls the item 10 times per second and stops on its own as soon as one of the two combinations comes out, with values equal or higher. A private message tells you it is done.

Each reroll uses 1 Enchant item from your bag (on talismans, the Talisman Enchant); when they run out, the slot stops and warns you. It keeps working with the window closed and when you change map. The Manual tab rerolls one step at a time and shows your last three results in green or red.

Click the VOTE icon at the bottom left: the window lists the 5 active toplists. Press Vote on a row, vote on the site and come back to the game: within 20 seconds the row lights up, without logging out.

Every vote is worth +5% EXP, +3% drop and 20 minutes of auto hunt for 24 hours, with a separate timer for each toplist. With all five you reach +25% EXP, +15% drop and 100 minutes of auto hunt, for every character on your account.

When an active skill reaches Perfect, its colour button appears in the Skills tab of the Character window. Each effect has 5 layers you can colour one by one, or all together with All colours.

Pick from the palette or type a code such as #FFFFFF, save up to 10 favourite colours and press Change colour. It is free, no item needed, and the buffs you cast on others keep your colour.

From Esc → Game options → Graphics options you control everything: Off, Medium, Ultra and Epic presets (Off removes shadows for less powerful PCs), shadow quality and casting, reflections, sharpness, grass type (autumn and flowers too) and puddles.

For performance you choose how far shops are shown, the effects level, fog, trees, clouds and whether to show pets, mounts and NPC names. And the mood is yours: 12 skies (night included), weather from clear to storm and snow in the villages. Every option has a "?" button that explains what it changes.

The World Boss is launched by the staff. A 10-minute call is announced to the whole server: open the Teleport Ring, choose Events in progress → World Boss and, as soon as you enter the Arena of the Damned, you are signed up to your level tier automatically. One character per person: a second character with the same account, IP or PC is refused.

There are three tiers fighting at the same time, each with its own boss: 75-99 (60 million HP), 100-139 (300 million) and 140-165 (1.5 billion). A tier's boss only appears if at least 2 players sign up, and only that tier's players can hit it. For the whole event PvP is free in the arena, without losing items or alignment.

The boss stays for 20 minutes: a live damage ranking, refreshed every 2 seconds, shows the top 10 of your tier, your position and your damage. When it dies or flees, rewards go to the top 5 of every tier, plus a consolation prize for anyone who dealt at least 0.5% of its HP. One reward each, straight to your inventory or to the Shop Storage: the boss drops nothing on the ground.

In the 140-165 tier the winner takes a +0 Draconic weapon of their class, second place the Draconic armour, third the Draconic helmet or shield, fourth and fifth a Draconic jewel, all with Stardust and gold bars. In the other two tiers you win Stardust, bars, Enchant Alchemy, Enchant and Reinforce item, stones and scrolls.

Press F5 (or the minimap button): the window lists the dungeons with minimum and maximum level, whether a group or a ticket is needed, and already selects the best one for your level. Each one shows its status: Ready, on cooldown with the time left, or You can rejoin within… after a disconnection (5 minutes).

The Teleport button takes you to the entrance for free; if you lack the ticket it warns you before you leave, and the Shop button opens the key vendor. Tick Notify me and when a cooldown ends you get the message "press F5 to enter".

The Ranking tab shows the 10 players who completed each dungeon the most times, with your own count below.

The Missions window, from the expanded taskbar, gives you 4 daily, 3 weekly and 3 monthly missions, drawn for your character and matched to your level.

They are free and progress on their own while you play: monsters, Metin stones, bosses, dungeons, fishing, play time, alchemy refinements. Real examples: 400 monsters or 10 Metin stones a day, 7 dungeons a week, 20,000 monsters a month. Monsters, Metin stones and bosses count if they are no more than 15 levels below you.

They renew at midnight, on Monday at 00:00 and on the 1st of the month, and the window shows how long is left. When you complete one, a message appears in the chat.

Press F8: the in-game calendar shows the events of Today, the Week and the Month, with time, duration, kingdom, channel, how to take part and what you win. Every event says whether it is LIVE, how long until it starts or whether it has ended.

Tick Remind me 5 minutes before and you get the big message in the middle of the screen and a private message, even with the calendar closed. With Show live events a movable box stays on screen with the current event or the one starting within 30 minutes.

From level 120 Alchemy opens (O key): six Dragon Stones — Diamond, Ruby, Jade, Sapphire, Garnet and Onyx — one per slot, in 2 decks you switch on with the Activate button. Each stone has 24 hours of use, which only run while the deck is active.

Each stone has a base bonus (Garnet, for example: +2,000 HP and lightning resistance) and up to 3 random extra bonuses: bosses, monsters, Metin stones, strong against the classes, critical, HP steal. Their strength depends on grade (Rough → Mythic), clarity (Matt → Excellent) and level (+0 → +6): a Mythic Excellent +6 is worth 150% of the base.

The Refine tab opens anywhere: combine 2 identical stones to raise grade or clarity, or a stone and a Dragon Bean for the level; Refine all prepares every ready pair. Dragon Hearts drop from bosses such as the Baroness and Beran-Setaou, and the Alchemist trades them for the Dragon Stone Shards of the Metin stones.

Open Quick equip change from the inventory or the expanded taskbar: you have 10 sets to save, each with 19 slots across equipment, costumes and accessories (rings, belt, stole). Wear your PvM gear, press Save current equip and give it a name with Rename (up to 20 characters).

Then one click on Wear set swaps everything you have on with the set; a second click puts your previous gear back. It is all or nothing: if a single piece cannot be worn, the swap does not start, so you are never left half-dressed.

There are 7 seconds between two swaps, and you cannot swap in combat (an attack or skill in the last second and a half) or with a shop, storage or trade window open.

In the Character window click the arrow on the right edge: a panel docks next to it with 55 bonuses of your character and their current values, in 5 collapsible categories: PvM, PvP, Attack, Defence and Elemental.

Type in the search box ("boss", "critical"…) and you see the value at once, without adding up tooltips piece by piece. The second tab counts your kills: players of each kingdom, duels won and lost, monsters, bosses and Metin stones destroyed.

Hold Ctrl and right-click a chest in your inventory: you see everything it can contain, with icon, quantity and full tooltip, 40 items per page. For class chests you only see what can drop for you.

If you have a stack, choose how many to open with the slider and press Open: only the ones that fit in your inventory are opened, the rest stay. With Ctrl+Z+right-click you open the whole stack at once, up to 99,999.
