What is the Dragon Diamond?
The Dragon Diamond is a dragon stone in Metin2 and belongs to the dragon stone alchemy system. It exists in six quality levels: raw, polished, rare, antique, legendary and mythical. Like all dragon stones, it is displayed exclusively in the dragon stone inventory – not in the normal inventory. Each type of dragon stone, including the diamond, has its own clearly defined effect on the character.
Dragon stone alchemy was introduced with version 13.3 on 26 February 2013. With version 19.0 on 22 January 2019, mythical alchemy was added. Most recently, on 26 July 2023, version 23.2 added the dragon amethyst as a new stone type.
The six dragon stone types at a glance
In the game there are six different dragon stones that differ in their colour and effect. The Dragon Diamond is one of them. Each type provides different character bonuses, which is why choosing the right stone depends on your build.
| Stone | Colour | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Diamond | White/Clear | Specific character bonuses (diamond-specific) |
| Dragon Ruby | Red | Specific character bonuses (ruby-specific) |
| Dragon Sapphire | Blue | Specific character bonuses (sapphire-specific) |
| Dragon Jade | Green | Specific character bonuses (jade-specific) |
| Dragon Onyx | Black | Specific character bonuses (onyx-specific) |
| Dragon Garnet | Dark Red | Specific character bonuses (garnet-specific) |
The three enhancement levels: class, purity and level
Dragon stones – and therefore the Dragon Diamond – are enhanced on three independent levels. It is important to understand these levels before you invest resources.
1. Class
The class determines how many bonuses a dragon stone can have. As the class increases, the stone gains more active bonus slots. The class levels in ascending order are:
- Raw (lowest class)
- Polished
- Rare
- Antique
- Legendary
- Mythical (highest class, since version 19.0)
A raw Dragon Diamond therefore has significantly fewer bonus slots than a mythical Dragon Diamond. Improving the class is therefore the most important step in the long term.
2. Purity
The purity of a dragon stone affects the strength of existing bonuses. A higher degree of purity means: the individual bonuses are numerically stronger. Purity is therefore not a new bonus slot, but a multiplication of existing values.
3. Level
In addition to class and purity, a dragon stone can also be increased in its level. This also increases the effect of the bonuses. Level and purity thus work in the same direction, but are separate systems.
| Level | Effect | Number of stages |
|---|---|---|
| Class | More bonus slots (more different bonuses) | 6 (raw to mythical) |
| Purity | Stronger bonus values | Multiple stages |
| Level | Stronger bonus values | Multiple stages |
How do you get dragon stones?
Dragon stones can be collected in various ways. The most accessible way for new players is the daily dragon stone quest, which is available from level 30. This allows you to farm stones or materials regularly without relying on events or the shop.
Additionally, there are dragon stone fragments as materials that are used in connection with dragon stone alchemy. These fragments drop whilst playing and can be relevant for improving stones.
Opening the dragon stone alchemy interface
The dragon stone alchemy menu can be opened in three ways:
- Via the dedicated button in the inventory
- Via the chat bar
- Via the assigned key
The system has its own dragon stone inventory that exists separately from the normal inventory. Dragon stones are stored there and do not take up normal inventory slots.
Strategy: Which Dragon Diamond to upgrade first?
Since upgrading dragon stones costs resources, you should proceed strategically. Generally speaking:
- Class first: A dragon stone with a higher class can carry more bonuses. The jump from raw to polished or rare makes a noticeable difference early on because new bonus slots are unlocked.
- Purity and level afterwards: Once the class is at an acceptable level, it's worth investing in purity and level to maximise bonus values.
- Mythical as a long-term goal: Mythical dragon stones are the strongest stones in the game. They were only introduced in 2019 and are accordingly demanding to achieve.
Since the Dragon Diamond has a specific effect that differs from other stones, the choice of stone should always be based first on your own character build and desired bonuses – not solely on availability.
