Player-to-player trading is essential in Metin2 but carries risks. Learn proven methods to trade safely, protect your Yang & Won, and avoid scams when dealing with other players.
Why Secure Trading Matters
Billions of Yang & Won are lost daily to trading scams:
- Trust is Exploited: Scammers build trust, then steal big trades
- No Rollbacks: Game support rarely reverses scam trades
- Your Responsibility: You must protect yourself - GMs won't
- Prevention > Recovery: Much easier to avoid scams than recover
Golden Rules of Safe Trading
Rule #1: NEVER Drop Items on Ground
⚠️ Common Scam:
"I'll drop 100M Yang, you pick it up and drop your +9 weapon." You drop weapon, they pick it and run. Your 200M weapon gone forever.
✅ Always Use Trade Window: In-game trade interface protects both parties. Both must accept before items transfer. NEVER drop valuable items.
Rule #2: Screenshot Everything
- Before Trade: Screenshot agreement in chat
- Trade Window: Screenshot before clicking accept
- After Trade: Screenshot received items/Yang
- Why: Evidence if dispute arises, helps support cases
💡 Pro Tip: Keep screenshots folder for all trades over 50M Yang. Takes 2 seconds, can save you millions.
Rule #3: Verify Items Before Accepting
Common trick: Show good item, swap for bad item at last second.
Verification Checklist:
- ☐ Hover over item to see stats pop-up
- ☐ Check enhancement level (+7, +8, +9)
- ☐ Verify item bonuses (vs Monsters %, Crit %, etc.)
- ☐ Count Yang amount (0s are easy to miss - 10M vs 100M)
- ☐ If they cancel/reopen trade, RE-CHECK everything
- ☐ Take 5 seconds to verify - rushing = getting scammed
Middleman Services
For High-Value Trades (100M+ Yang)
Trusted third-party holds items/Yang until both parties deliver.
✅ How It Works:
- You give items to middleman
- Other player gives Yang to middleman
- Middleman verifies both received
- Middleman distributes to each party
- Small fee (1-5% of trade value)
Finding Middlemen:
- • Guild officers (trusted members)
- • Server Discord verified staff
- • Reddit moderators
- • Long-time players with reputation
⚠️ Warning: Fake middlemen exist! Verify reputation with multiple sources. Scammers impersonate trusted middlemen.
