What is the Dragon Amethyst?
The Dragon Amethyst is one of seven Dragon Stone types in Metin2 and part of the Dragon Stone Alchemy system. The system was introduced into the game with version 13.3 on 26 February 2013. The Amethyst itself came much later: with version 23.2 on 26 July 2023, it was added as a new colour. It falls into the category of Dragon Stone Alchemy and strengthens your character with specific bonuses that vary depending on the class, purity, and level of the stone.
Dragon Stones do not appear in the normal inventory. They are displayed exclusively in the separate Dragon Stone inventory. You can open this either via the button in your inventory, via the chat bar, or using a keyboard shortcut.
The Dragon Stone Alchemy System Explained
Before you start working specifically with the Dragon Amethyst, you should understand the basic structure of the system. Dragon Stones are improved across three independent levels:
- Class: Determines how many bonuses a Dragon Stone can have. As the class increases, new bonus slots are added.
- Purity: Increases the strength of existing bonuses. A higher purity level means stronger effects.
- Level: Also improves the effectiveness of the Dragon Stone and can be increased independently of class and purity.
All three levels together determine how strong a Dragon Stone actually is. A stone at high class but low purity is not automatically stronger than a stone of medium class with high purity – the interplay of all three factors matters.
Classes of the Dragon Amethyst
The Dragon Amethyst – like all other Dragon Stones – goes through six classes. Each class visibly changes the appearance of the stone. The classes are:
| Class | Designation | Special Feature |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw | Entry class, few bonus slots |
| 2 | Cut | First improvement, new appearance |
| 3 | Rare | More possible bonuses |
| 4 | Antique | Significantly increased bonus capacity |
| 5 | Legendary | High effectiveness, strong appearance |
| 6 | Mythical | Highest class, introduced with version 19.0 on 22.01.2019 |
The Mythical class is the strongest and was introduced with version 19.0 on 22 January 2019 – several years before the Dragon Amethyst itself. This means the Amethyst is compatible with the complete class system from the start.
The Seven Dragon Stone Types Compared
The Dragon Amethyst is one of seven types. Each colour has a different effect on your character. The known types besides the Amethyst are, according to the Wiki: Onyx, Diamond, Ruby, Jade, Sapphire and Garnet. The Dragon Amethyst was added later as a standalone addition and expands the system to a total of seven stone colours.
| Stone | In Game Since |
|---|---|
| Ruby | Version 13.3 (26.02.2013) |
| Sapphire | Version 13.3 (26.02.2013) |
| Onyx | Version 13.3 (26.02.2013) |
| Diamond | Version 13.3 (26.02.2013) |
| Jade | Version 13.3 (26.02.2013) |
| Garnet | Version 13.3 (26.02.2013) |
| Dragon Amethyst | Version 23.2 (26.07.2023) |
Where Do You Get Dragon Stones?
One of the most important questions for newcomers: where do you actually get Dragon Stones? The Wiki mentions the daily Dragon Stone quest, which is available from character level 30 onwards. This is the lowest-threshold entry into the system and is accessible to every player who has reached level 30.
Beyond that, there are other sources of Dragon Stone shards and stones that can be collected in the game. Dragon Stone shards are raw materials that are processed as part of Dragon Stone Alchemy. They carry the category Dragon Stone Alchemy and are a central part of the improvement process.
Tips for Improving the Dragon Amethyst
The system offers three independent improvement paths. Here are some concrete tips for using it efficiently:
- Understand class first: With each class improvement, the number of possible bonuses increases. It's worth keeping class improvement in mind if you want more effects on a stone.
- Use purity for strength: If you want to make the same bonus stronger without needing new bonuses, invest in purity. This is often more efficient than a class improvement if the existing bonuses are already suitable.
- Upgrade level regularly: Level improvement is another way to increase effectiveness and runs parallel to class and purity.
- Keep the Dragon Stone inventory in view: Since Dragon Stones don't appear in the normal inventory, many players forget this progression. Open the Dragon Stone inventory regularly and check your progress.
- Don't miss the daily quest: The quest from level 30 onwards is a constant resource source. Those who complete it daily build up a solid supply over time.
Historical Development of Dragon Stone Alchemy
The Dragon Stone Alchemy system has developed significantly since its introduction. Three versions are particularly relevant:
- Version 13.3 (26.02.2013): Basic introduction of Dragon Stone Alchemy with the first six stone types.
- Version 19.0 (22.01.2019): Introduction of Mythical Alchemy as the highest class – six years after the start.
- Version 23.2 (26.07.2023): Addition of the Dragon Amethyst as the seventh stone type – ten years after the original system.
This development shows that Gameforge continuously expands the system. Those who start with Dragon Stone Alchemy today benefit from a mature system with clear progression paths and regular expansions.
