Let’s dive in.

🎯 1. Leveling 35–60: Where, How, and What to Kill

Once you reach level 35, you’ll notice a steep increase in XP requirements and enemy difficulty. However, this is where Metin2 truly begins to open up. Knowing where to level efficiently is key.

📍 Best Grinding Spots

Level 35–40:

  • Yongbi Desert (Map2)

    • Mobs: Desert Foxes, Scorpions, Alpha Snakes

    • Drops: Skill books, upgrade items, rare weapons

    • Pros: Great for ranged or AoE-focused builds

  • Spider Dungeon 1 (SD1)

    • Location: Teleport from Map2 NPC

    • Mobs: Giant Spiders, Venomous Spiders, Spitting Spiders

    • Drops: Spider Webs (for quests), Poison Sword

    • Bonus: Safe farming zones + heavy drop density

Level 40–50:

  • Orc Maze

    • Entry via Teleporter in Map2 or Valley of Orcs

    • Mobs: Orc Warriors, Orc Shaman, Orc Chiefs

    • Dangerous but drops valuable Warrior Armor, skill books

  • Metin Stones (Lvl 40–60)

    • Found in: Desert, Orc Valley, and Mount Sohan

    • Metins: Jealousy, Darkness, Greed, Soul

    • Drops: Rare books (e.g. Berserk, Aura of Sword), Enchant Item, Enchant Scrolls

  • Mount Sohan (Ice Zone)

    • Mobs: Ice Golems, Snow Lions, Yeti

    • Metins: Harder, but drops high-level loot and gems

    • Need: Cold resistance gear or potions

  • Devil's Catacomb (DC) Entry Quests

    • Start preparing gear to enter DC post-level 55

🛡 2. Upgrading Gear: From Good to Godly

Upgrading becomes critical at this point. You won’t survive new areas without optimized armor, weapons, and accessories.

📚 M1 to P:

  • Requires Reading Books (class-specific skill books)

  • Must wait 24 hours between readings unless you have:

    • Reading Gloves

    • Exorcism Scrolls (removes cooldown + increases success rate)

💡 Efficient Tip: Always carry a stack of Exorcism Scrolls during farming and read one book per login cycle to maintain momentum.

  • Sura: Enchanted Blade, Fear, Dark Strike
