Metin2 helmets: the class-locked slot, the level ladder, and the upgrade costs
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2026 10:21 pm
How helmets work
Helmets are a separate equipment slot in Metin2, and they are class locked. A helmet a Warrior can wear cannot be worn by a Ninja, a Sura or a Shaman. The wiki organizes them by class, so each class has its own helmet page with its own level ladder and upgrade tables. Helmets increase your defence as they are upgraded, and several of them carry a second bonus that grows with the plus level.
The warrior ladder
The warrior helmets run from a level 0 starter piece to a level 120 endgame one. The ladder, with the defence at +0 and at the top of each table:
The second bonus
Several helmets carry a bonus that grows with the plus level:
The Yang cost climbs with each plus level. The early helmets are cheap. The Traditional Helmet costs 600 Yang to go from +0 to +1 and 75,000 Yang from +8 to +9. The Iron Helmet costs 1,000 Yang to +1 and 120,000 Yang to +9. The level 41, 60, 80 and 100 helmets all cost 1,200 Yang to +1, and the level 41, 60 and 80 helmets cost 120,000 Yang to +9 while the two level 100 helms cost 150,000 Yang to +9.
The Gloom Dragon Helmet is in a different bracket. It costs 450,000 Yang to go from +0 to +1 and 19,200,000 Yang for its final step. The Serpent's Cowl costs 150,000 Yang to +1 and 4,777,500 Yang for its final step.
Upgrade items
Higher plus levels also need items, not just Yang:
