Dragon stone alchemy is a unique enhancement system in Metin2. Dragon stones are not inserted into normal equipment but are managed in their own dragon stone inventory. A set consists of seven dragon stone types: Onyx, Diamond, Ruby, Jade, Sapphire, Garnet and Amethyst.

You obtain dragon stones mainly through dragon stone fragments and Cor Draconis. From level 30 onwards, you can collect dragon stone fragments from the Alchemist and create Cor Draconis from them. From Cor Draconis you obtain raw dragon stones.

Dragon stones can be improved through class, purity and level. Mythical dragon stones can additionally be modified with the Flame of the Dragon. The bonuses only apply when the respective dragon stone set is active.

Removing Dragon Stones

An inserted dragon stone can be removed. If successful, it returns to the DSA inventory. If it fails, you receive a dragon stone fragment instead.

The chance of successful removal can be increased with the Dragon Tongs. With the Dragon Tongs+, a dragon stone can be safely removed.
