What is Dragon Stone Alchemy in Metin2?
Dragon Stone Alchemy is a standalone gameplay system that was introduced in Metin2 with game version 13.3 on 26 February 2013. It allows players to enhance their characters through special Dragon Stones with a variety of bonuses. With version 19.0 on 22 January 2019, Mythical Alchemy was added, and with version 23.2 on 26 July 2023, Dragon Amethyst came as a new stone.
The system is completely separate from the regular inventory: Dragon Stones are displayed exclusively in your own Dragon Stone inventory. You can open the overview via the button in your inventory, via the chat bar, or with a hotkey.
The Blue Dragon Bean – Classification in the System
The Blue Dragon Bean is an item that is categorised as Dragon Stone Alchemy. It is part of the materials and resources system surrounding Dragon Stones. Like other Dragon Bean variants, it is used in the context of refining and improving Dragon Stones. The system knows various such auxiliary materials besides the actual stones – including Dragon Stone Shards and Dragon Stone Shards+, which also belong to Dragon Stone Alchemy.
Anyone who wants to work with Dragon Stone Alchemy will encounter items like the Blue Dragon Bean. It is a building block in the larger system of stone refinement.
The Seven Dragon Stone Types at a Glance
There are a total of seven different types (colours) of Dragon Stones, each with a different effect on your character. The wiki FAQ lists six main types:
| Stone | Special Feature |
|---|---|
| Onyx | Own Effect / Bonuses |
| Diamond | Own Effect / Bonuses |
| Ruby | Own Effect / Bonuses |
| Jade | Own Effect / Bonuses |
| Sapphire | Own Effect / Bonuses |
| Garnet | Own Effect / Bonuses |
| Dragon Amethyst | New since version 23.2 (26.07.2023) |
Each stone has a clearly defined own effect. Which one you prefer depends on which bonuses you prioritise for your character and playstyle.
Class, Purity and Level: The Three Enhancement Tiers
What makes Dragon Stones special is that they can be improved on three independent tiers. Each tier influences a different aspect of the stone:
| Tier | Effect |
|---|---|
| Class | Determines the number of bonuses a Dragon Stone can have. More class = more bonuses. |
| Purity | Increases the strength of existing bonuses. Higher purity = stronger effects. |
| Level | Also increases the effectiveness of the Dragon Stone. |
Classes in Detail
There are a total of six classes, arranged in ascending order:
- Raw – Base form of the Dragon Stone
- Polished – First refinement tier
- Rare – Middle class
- Ancient – Advanced class
- Legendary – High class with many bonuses
- Mythical – Highest class, available since version 19.0
By improving, a Dragon Stone also gets a new visual appearance – both purity and class change the visual appearance of the stone.
Where Do You Get Dragon Stones?
There are several ways to obtain Dragon Stones and related materials like the Blue Dragon Bean. The most important free way for active players is the daily quest:
Daily Dragon Stone Quest
The daily Dragon Stone quest is available for all characters level 30 and above. It is a reliable, cost-free way to regularly farm Dragon Stone materials. Players who log in daily and complete the quest will build up a solid supply over time.
Besides the daily quest, Dragon Stones and Dragon Stone Shards can also be obtained through other means or traded. Also keep an eye out for Dragon Stone Shard collection events, which take place regularly in the game.
Dragon Stone Shards: Important Intermediate Materials
Besides the actual Dragon Stones and items like the Blue Dragon Bean, Dragon Stone Shards exist as another resource. The wiki distinguishes between:
- Dragon Stone Shard – Base variant
- Dragon Stone Shard+ – Improved variant
Both belong to the Dragon Stone Alchemy category and are required for refining Dragon Stones. They are localised in several languages (Czech, French, Italian, Polish, Romanian), demonstrating how central they are to the international Metin2 game system.
Practical Tips for Getting Started with Dragon Stone Alchemy
- Log in daily: Complete the Dragon Stone quest daily from level 30 onwards. This is the most efficient free-to-play way to obtain materials.
- Prioritise class over purity: More class means more bonus slots. This is more valuable in the long run than just increasing purity.
- Know the Dragon Stone inventory: Remember that Dragon Stones do not appear in your regular inventory. Open the Dragon Stone inventory separately via the button in your inventory or the chat bar.
- Choose stone type to match your build: Each of the seven stone types has its own bonuses. Choose the stone that meaningfully complements your character build.
- Mythical Alchemy as a long-term goal: Mythical is the highest class – this requires time and resources. Start with the lower classes and work your way up.
- Use events: Dragon Stone Shard collection events offer temporary opportunities to get materials more quickly.
