The Christmas Raffle 2024 is a seasonal Metin2 event where you can purchase or unlock daily tickets each day to win items, lucky symbols and exclusive daily prizes. Every ticket guarantees a prize – either an item directly to your item shop storage or a lucky symbol for the jackpot mechanic. The event is exclusively accessible through the in-game item shop, and a new day begins daily at 04:00 UTC.
Prerequisites and Participation
Basically, every account can participate in the Christmas Raffle. However, there are two different ways to obtain the daily free ticket:
- Method 1 – From level 30: You need at least level 30 and must have completed the quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" before the raffle starts. This grants you a free ticket daily automatically.
- Method 2 – Below level 30: Purchase at least one ticket per day for 7 consecutive days. From the 8th day onwards, you also receive a free ticket daily.
In addition to the free ticket, you can purchase a limited number of additional tickets per day using Dragon Coins (DC). Important: The raffle can only be accessed in-game via the item shop – there is no access through the website.
Ticket Costs Overview
Each day you have access to a total of up to 9 purchasable tickets, divided into two quotas. The first 5 tickets of the next day can already be purchased one day earlier at a discounted price – this is worthwhile if you plan to maximise your daily earnings.
| Ticket No. | Cost in DC | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 6th Ticket | 59 DC | First ticket of the second quota |
| 7th Ticket | 68 DC | – |
| 8th Ticket | 81 DC | – |
| 9th Ticket | 81 DC | Last daily ticket |
The exact costs of the first 5 tickets as well as the pre-sale price for the following day can be viewed in the in-game item shop. Tickets for the next day can already be purchased one day earlier at a lower price – use this advantage to save DC.
What Can You Win? Ticket Prizes
Every ticket you redeem guarantees you a win for certain. There are no blanks. Winning items are automatically placed in your item shop storage. Possible prizes include a wide range of quantities and rarities – from stacked items in large quantities to extremely rare individual pieces.
From the wiki data, the following quantity classes can be derived, which show how frequently an item is represented in the prize pool:
- Common Prizes (50x in pool): Several items appear with a weighting of 50 each – these are the most likely.
- Medium Prizes (10–15x in pool): A larger group of items with moderate winning chances.
- Rare Prizes (2–6x in pool): Few items with significantly lower probability.
- Very Rare Prizes (1x or specific): Individual top items as well as the daily prize and lucky symbol.
- Special Prizes: A time bonus of 6 hours is also included in the pool.
- Daily Prize: Special daily prize (changes daily, see section below).
- Lucky Symbol: Special symbols for the jackpot mechanic (see section below).
The specific item names of individual prizes are stored in the official Metin2 wiki and may differ depending on the event phase. Check the current prize list directly in the item shop.
Daily Prizes: The Daily Jackpot
In addition to the regular prize pool, there are daily changing daily prizes. These are particularly coveted items that you can win if your ticket draws the daily prize. The exact daily prizes are day-dependent and are listed in the wiki in three separate tables – check them daily in the game or on the official wiki to know which top items are currently available.
Tip: Plan your daily ticket purchases strategically around the days when particularly valuable daily prizes are available. Since the new day begins at 04:00 UTC, you can secure tickets in advance the evening before.
The Lucky Symbol System: Three Symbols for a Bonus Prize
The lucky symbol is a special ticket prize with its own mechanic. As soon as you have collected three lucky symbols, you will receive a corresponding prize from the lucky symbol prize list depending on the total points of the three symbols.
Important Rules for the Lucky Symbol System
- You must redeem the prize for three symbols before you can purchase further tickets. Without redemption, no further ticket progress is possible.
- You have the option to re-roll at three collected symbols. This costs 6 Dragon Coins per roll.
- Re-rolling is repeatable as often as you like – with each round you pay 6 DC again.
- The height of the prize depends on the combined point total of the three symbols. Higher point totals result in more valuable prizes.
Re-rolling is worth it if you're unhappy with the current prize and hope for a higher point total. However, calculate the DC costs against the expected added value of the new prize before rolling multiple times.
The Event in Context: Christmas Raffle as an Item Shop Action
According to the Metin2 wiki, the Christmas Raffle belongs to the category of item shop actions, together with the advent calendar. It is therefore not a classic in-game event with quests or mobs, but a shop-based system with daily login incentives.
Metin2's overarching event system displays all running events in the event UI, which has been in the game since update 19.1. You can access it via a key or through the "E" symbol to the left of the mini-map. The raffle can also be launched via the event UI.
Other annual events you should pay attention to parallel to the raffle during the Christmas season:
- Christmas Event (annual seasonal event)
- Advent Calendar (additional item shop action in December)
- Snowflake Event (other event system)
Tips for Optimal Participation
With the right planning, you get the most out of the Christmas Raffle:
- Secure free ticket: Make sure you reach level 30 and complete the Orc Fang quest before the event starts. This saves DC daily.
- Use pre-sales: Purchase the first 5 tickets of the next day one day earlier at the discounted price.
- Keep daily prizes in mind: Check daily which daily prize is available and use your ticket purchases strategically.
- Redeem lucky symbols: Redeem three symbols immediately or re-roll – but don't leave them lying around or you won't be able to redeem further tickets.
- Under-level-30 players: Consistently purchase at least one ticket per day for 7 days in a row to receive the free ticket from day 8 onwards.
- Use event UI: Open the event UI (key or E next to the mini-map) for a quick overview of all active events alongside the raffle.
