Metin2 wikis and chat are full of two and three letter codes. Some of them are item stats, some are server and area names, and some are chat shorthand that predates the game. The English and German Metin2 wikis each keep a list, and they do not cover the same ground, so this post combines them. Everything below is taken from those two pages, with the language noted where a term comes from the German list.

1. Which list should I use for item stats? The English page for the per-slot codes and the German page for the wiki table codes.
2. Why are there two lists? They are separate wiki pages in separate languages, and neither reproduces the other's content.
3. What does SS mean? The German page gives three options: the Battle Sword, the Snake Tail or the Scorpion Tail.
4. Is the German list current? The page was last edited on 10 November 2023, and the English one on 6 January 2018.
5. What is missing? The English page's In-Game Abbreviations section has no content, so the in-game terms here come from the German list only.
