Cor Draconis (normal) is a central element of Dragon Stone Alchemy in Metin2. This system was introduced in game version 13.3 on 26 February 2013 and has been expanded multiple times since. It allows you to strengthen your character through specially refined dragon stones with a variety of bonuses – regardless of equipment or combat system.
What is Dragon Stone Alchemy?
Dragon Stone Alchemy is an independent progression system in Metin2. Dragon stones are managed in a separate Dragon Stone Inventory – they do not appear in your normal inventory. Each stone brings its own bonuses, which can be increased through refinement on three different levels: Class, Purity and Level.
With game version 19.0 on 22 January 2019, Mythical Alchemy was added. On 26 July 2023 (Version 23.2), the Dragon Amethyst was also introduced as a new stone type. The system continues to grow actively.
The Three Enhancement Levels at a Glance
Each dragon stone has three independent enhancement levels. Each level has a different effect on the stone and its bonuses:
| Level | Effect | Stages / Values |
|---|---|---|
| Class | Determines the number of possible bonuses on the stone | Raw, Cut, Rare, Antique, Legendary, Mythical |
| Purity | Increases the strength / magnitude of the respective bonuses | Increases with purity grade |
| Level | Also increases the effect of the stone | Increased through refinement |
Specifically, this means: A stone of Raw class has fewer possible bonus slots than a stone of Mythical class. Purity and level affect how strong these bonuses will be. Those who want to squeeze out the maximum need to consistently improve all three levels.
The Different Dragon Stone Types
There are a total of seven types of dragon stones, each offering different bonuses: Onyx, Diamond, Ruby, Jade, Sapphire and Garnet, as well as the Dragon Amethyst added in version 23.2. Each colour represents a different effect.
The appearance of a dragon stone changes depending on its purity (horizontally) and class (vertically) – so you can see at a glance how much a stone has already been refined.
| Type | Colour | Particularity |
|---|---|---|
| Onyx | Black | Classic type since version 13.3 |
| Diamond | White / Clear | Classic type since version 13.3 |
| Ruby | Red | Classic type since version 13.3 |
| Jade | Green | Classic type since version 13.3 |
| Sapphire | Blue | Classic type since version 13.3 |
| Garnet | Dark Red | Classic type since version 13.3 |
| Amethyst | Purple | New in version 23.2 (26.07.2023) |
Dragon Stone Fragments – Base Material of Alchemy
To progress in Dragon Stone Alchemy, you need Dragon Stone Fragments as base material. These fragments are the raw material for the production and improvement of dragon stones. There are different quality levels of fragments, identifiable by their designation (e.g. Dragon Stone Fragment, Dragon Stone Fragment+).
Dragon Stone Fragments are also assigned to the Dragon Stone Alchemy category – they feed directly into the Cor Draconis system and are not a byproduct.
How Do You Get Dragon Stones?
The easiest entry into Dragon Stone Alchemy is the daily Dragon Stone quest. This is available to all characters from level 30 onwards. By regularly completing this quest, you continuously gather material for your alchemy progression.
You open the Dragon Stone Inventory and Alchemy overview via the button in your inventory, via the chat bar or using a keyboard shortcut. This way you always keep an overview of your current stones, classes and improvement options.
Cor Draconis (normal) in the Context of Alchemy
Cor Draconis (normal) is the entry point to the Dragon Stone Alchemy system – the basic form of Cor Draconis, before higher refinement levels are reached. The goal is to gradually improve this stone through the three levels described above (class, purity, level).
For beginners: Start collecting Dragon Stone Fragments early and complete the daily quest. Dragon Stone Alchemy is a long-term system – those who start early will have a clear advantage later. A stone of Raw class with low purity is already better than no stone at all.
Advanced players work towards the classes Antique, Legendary or Mythical, as these unlock the most bonus slots. Mythical Alchemy (since version 19.0) offers the currently strongest possibilities.
Tips for Dragon Stone Alchemy
- Don't skip the daily quest: It is available from level 30 and provides material on a regular basis.
- Prioritise class: More class means more bonus slots – in the long run this is more valuable than high purity on a weak class.
- Keep all three levels in mind: Class, purity and level do not affect each other – all three should be improved evenly.
- Check your Dragon Stone Inventory regularly: Stones are only displayed there, not in your normal inventory.
- Consider Amethyst as the newest type: Since version 23.2, the Dragon Amethyst is a seventh option – find out more about its specific bonuses.
