Dear players,
We're entering 2022 with a relatively major update revolving around accessories. Most, if not all, have been either reworked or changed so they match the standards of modern servers - in fact, some of them were evidently unworthy to even pick up from the ground. With this update, we are planning to bring more diversity to building your character and the choice of items you make in certain scenarios. That being said, while the old accessories system was limited to wearing only an overrated specific set (cough Heaven's Tear) now items should be more situational and rewarding to combine and think through, rather than blindly wearing the same accessories you have been seeing around since the early 2000 times of Metin2. Whilst the aim of these accessories is both PvP and PvM at high level, balance within classes and more diversity, it is also aimed to giving a helping hand to the low level players that struggle with lack of stats early on. Overall have fun experimenting with different sets, and expect future changes/nerfs/buffs in regards to accessories based on the feedback we receive from the community.
