What is the Dragon Diamond?
The Dragon Diamond is a Dragon Stone in Metin2 and is part of the Dragon Stone Alchemy system. It exists in six quality grades: Raw, Refined, Rare, Ancient, Legendary, and Mythical. Like all Dragon Stones, it is displayed exclusively in the Dragon Stone inventory – not in the regular 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 their 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 Improvement Levels: Class, Purity and Grade
Dragon Stones – and therefore also the Dragon Diamond – are improved 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 grades in ascending order are:
- Raw (lowest class)
- Refined
- Rare
- Ancient
- Legendary
- Mythical (highest class, since version 19.0)
A Raw Dragon Diamond therefore has significantly fewer bonus slots than a Mythical Dragon Diamond. Upgrading the class is therefore the most important step in the long term.
2. Purity
The purity of a Dragon Stone affects the strength of the existing bonuses. A higher purity level means: the individual bonuses are numerically stronger. Purity is therefore not a new bonus slot, but a multiplication of existing values.
3. Grade
In addition to class and purity, a Dragon Stone can also be increased in grade. This also increases the effect of the bonuses. Grade and purity thus work in the same direction, but are separate systems.
| Level | Effect | Number of Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Class | More bonus slots (more different bonuses) | 6 (Raw to Mythical) |
| Purity | Stronger bonus values | Multiple grades |
| Grade | Stronger bonus values | Multiple grades |
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 onwards. With this, you can regularly farm stones or materials 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 during gameplay 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 your inventory
- Via the chat bar
- Via your assigned hotkey
The system has its own Dragon Stone inventory that exists separately from the regular inventory. Dragon Stones are stored there and take up no regular inventory slots.
Strategy: Which Dragon Diamond Should You Upgrade First?
Since upgrading Dragon Stones costs resources, you should proceed strategically. Generally, the following applies:
- Class first: A Dragon Stone with a higher class can carry more bonuses. The jump from Raw to Refined or Rare makes a noticeable difference early on, because new bonus slots are unlocked.
- Purity and grade afterwards: Once the class is at an acceptable level, investing in purity and grade is worthwhile 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.
