The Advent Calendar 2021 in Metin2 is a special event in the Item Shop: players open a chest daily and receive rewards in return. There are 24 chests in total – one per day. Those who participate every day can collect all the rewards. Important: Progress remains intact throughout the event and is not reset. A new calendar day starts at midnight each day.
Requirement: Complete the Orc Quest by 30 November
Not all players have automatic access to the Advent Calendar 2021. The calendar can only be opened by players who have completed the Orc Quest by 30 November. Those who do not meet this quest requirement will have no access to the chests – regardless of how often they visit the Item Shop. So if you want to participate in the event on time, you should make sure to complete the Orc Quest before the event starts.
How the Advent Calendar Works in the Item Shop
The event runs entirely through Metin2's Item Shop. Every day there is the opportunity to open a new chest. The calendar only opens the next chest after midnight, when a new game day begins. If you want to open all 24 chests completely, you must log in daily from the start of the event and collect the respective chest. If you miss a day, you cannot catch up on that entry – the chests are time-bound to their respective calendar day.
According to the Wiki, the event falls under the category of Item Shop actions and is therefore not a classic in-game event like the Snowflake Event or the Blood Moon. It requires no special dungeon visits and no further in-game activities except for the daily visit to the Item Shop.
All 24 Chests at a Glance
The calendar offers various rewards over 24 days. Day 12 stands out with the Heavenly Dragon Package and is the most prominent named item of the entire event. On day 24 there is a reward with a runtime of 15 days. Several days offer rewards in triple packs (3x) or with time-limited runtimes (3h, 1d, 3d).

Day 12 – The Heavenly Dragon Package as Event Highlight
The twelfth day of the Advent Calendar is clearly the highlight of the entire event. Here you receive the Heavenly Dragon Package – the only explicitly named package in the entire calendar. Additionally, day 12 contains several other rewards, including items with a 3-day runtime as well as triple-pack rewards. If there's only one day you don't want to miss, it's day 12.
Reward Structure: Understanding Runtimes and Quantities
The rewards in the 2021 Advent Calendar can be classified according to their designations:
- (3x): The reward is issued three times – you receive three copies of the item.
- (2x): Double issuance of the respective item.
- (3h): The item has a runtime of 3 hours – time-limited use.
- (1d): The item is active for 1 day (24-hour runtime).
- (3d): The item runs for 3 days.
- (15d): The item on day 24 is usable for 15 days – the longest runtime in the entire calendar.
Particularly for items with short runtimes (3h, 1d), remember this: These should be used immediately after opening because the runtime begins upon receipt. For items with 3-hour runtimes, an active gaming session is recommended.
Classification in the Metin2 Event Landscape
According to the Metin2 Wiki, the Advent Calendar falls under the category of Item Shop actions and thus differs from regular annual in-game events such as the Christmas Event or the Halloween Event. Whilst the latter bring their own in-game systems, quests or dungeons, the Advent Calendar runs exclusively through the Item Shop and requires no active gameplay engagement except for the daily login and opening the chest.
Event systems in Metin2 are generally displayed via the Event UI, which can be accessed via the assigned key or the E symbol next to the mini-map. However, the Advent Calendar as an Item Shop action is primarily accessible directly in the Item Shop.
Other seasonal events such as the Snowflake Event or the Blood Moon Event run in parallel and offer their own reward systems. So if you play actively in December, you can use multiple event systems simultaneously.
Practical Tips for the 2021 Advent Calendar
- Daily login is mandatory: The calendar releases exactly one chest per day. If you miss a day, you lose that reward.
- Midnight as reset: The new day begins at 00:00. If you log in late in the evening, you can open a second chest right after midnight – once for the past day, once for the new day.
- Progress remains intact: Calendar progress is not deleted during the event. You don't need to worry that a technical error will reset your progress.
- Check Orc Quest in advance: Before the event starts, ensure that the Orc Quest is completed. Without this requirement, no access is possible.
- Use items with short runtime immediately: Particularly 3h items should be deployed immediately if you plan an active gaming session.
