Your first steps on Shiva
New to a Metin2 private server or returning after a break? Begin with a working client and one clear character goal. Shiva offers oldschool-oriented progression up to level 99, with Metin farming, dungeons and the Biologist to explore as you develop.
Prepare your account and client
Create an account, read the server rules and download the client from this website. Follow the installation instructions and finish the available updates. If an error interrupts setup, save the message and check the download guide before contacting support.
Use the tools for your first goals
Choose Warrior, Ninja, Sura or Shaman, then pick a task from the categorised quest board. Press H to open the in-game wiki and look up an item or its upgrade requirements. Press U to open the special inventory. Before choosing a dungeon, press F6 and check its level requirements and whether it supports solo or group play. When you reach a Biologist task, press F11 to see your submission progress and the next available delivery. Use these menus to choose your next step instead of guessing what your character needs.
Learn the market and ask useful questions
Compare item descriptions and current prices when browsing offline shops. If you need help, describe your character's stage and what you want to do. For technical or account issues, use support and include the relevant time, error or screenshot without sharing your password.
