The Christmas Raffle 2023 is a time-limited IS action in Metin2, accessible exclusively through the in-game Item Shop. Every ticket guarantees a win – either an item that goes directly to your Item Shop warehouse, or a lucky symbol for the bonus system. The event is aimed at all players level 30 and above, but also offers an alternative participation path for characters under level 30.
Eligibility Overview
Not every character automatically receives a daily free ticket. Metin2 distinguishes between two groups here:
- Players level 30 and above who have completed the quest "The Scholar's Research (Orc Fang)" receive a daily free ticket automatically – provided the quest was completed before the raffle started.
- Players under level 30 can still participate. Those who purchase at least one ticket per day for 7 consecutive days receive a daily free ticket from day 8 onwards.
In addition to the free ticket, you can purchase additional tickets per day using Dragon Coins (DC). Important: A new raffle day begins at 04:00 AM.
Opening the Raffle – Here's How
The Christmas Raffle is accessible exclusively in-game via the Item Shop. Access through a browser or the Gameforge website is not possible. Alternatively, you can use the Event UI, which came with Update 19.1 – accessible via hotkey or through the "E" symbol next to the minimap.
Ticket Costs and Purchase Structure
Multiple tickets are available for purchase each day. The first five tickets for the following day can be purchased one day in advance at a lower price. After these first five tickets, you can purchase four additional tickets per day.
| Ticket # | Cost (DC) |
|---|---|
| 6th Ticket | 59 DC |
| 7th Ticket | 68 DC |
| 8th Ticket | 81 DC |
| 9th Ticket | 81 DC |
If you want to save Dragon Coins, you should take advantage of the advance purchase option for the first five tickets, as these are cheaper the day before.
Possible Prizes – What's in the Tickets?
Every ticket guarantees a win. Items won automatically land in the Item Shop warehouse of your account. The 2023 raffle prize list is extensive and contains items in various stack sizes as well as two special prizes:
- Numerous items in stacks of 50x, 15x, 10x, 5x and 2x, as well as single items
- Time-limited items (e.g. 6-hour variants)
- Daily prizes – special daily winner items (see in-game table for details)
- Lucky symbols – keys to the bonus system (details in the next section)
- Stacked items: including 500-piece quantities available
The exact item names and complete prize list can be viewed in the in-game Item Shop raffle section, as specific item names cannot be fully transferred from the wiki.
The Lucky Symbol System Explained
Lucky symbols are a standalone bonus element of the raffle. When you've collected three lucky symbols, you automatically receive a prize – depending on the total points of your symbols. You must actively claim this prize before drawing new tickets. As long as the prize is not claimed, no further draws are possible.
You can optionally reroll the result of your three symbols. This costs 6 Dragon Coins per reroll and can be repeated as many times as you like. This way you can deliberately aim for higher-value symbol combinations – though without guarantee of a better result.
Christmas Raffle in the Context of Metin2 Events
The raffle belongs within the Metin2 event systems to the category of IS actions – alongside the Advent Calendar. It differs from classic annual events such as the Christmas Event, Halloween Event or Summer Event in that it runs directly through the Item Shop and not through the classic game world or event dungeons.
The Event UI displays all active events across servers and channels. Clicking on an event name opens the respective UI directly – handy for quickly navigating to the raffle.
Tips for Efficient Participation
- Complete the quest in advance: If you're level 30, be sure to complete the quest "The Scholar's Research (Orc Fang)" before the event starts – it's required for the daily free ticket.
- Use advance purchase: Buy the first five tickets for the next day the day before, as they're cheaper then.
- Claim your lucky symbol prize: After collecting three symbols, claim immediately so you can continue drawing.
- Watch the daily schedule: A new raffle day starts at 04:00 AM – if you draw late at night, you might already be in the next day.
- Under level 30: Buy at least one ticket daily for 7 consecutive days to receive free tickets from day 8 onwards.
