What is the Flame of the Dragon (B)?
The Flame of the Dragon (B) is an item within the Dragon Stone Alchemy system in Metin2. Dragon Stone Alchemy is the overarching system that equips characters with a variety of passive bonuses – without class or weapon restrictions. If you want to become permanently stronger in the game, you cannot get around Dragon Stone Alchemy. The Flame of the Dragon (B) is one of the named entries in the Dragon Stone Alchemy category.
The system is managed via a dedicated dragon stone inventory that exists independently of the normal inventory. Dragon stones appear exclusively there – they are not visible in the normal inventory.
History and Version History
Dragon Stone Alchemy has evolved over several game versions:
- Version 13.3 (26.02.2013): Introduction of Dragon Stone Alchemy
- Version 19.0 (22.01.2019): Mythical Alchemy is added – a new grade above Legendary
- Version 23.2 (26.07.2023): Introduction of Dragon Amethyst as a new stone type
The system is thus one of the longest-running progression systems in the game and is continuously expanded.
The Seven Stone Types at a Glance
There are six different types (colours) of dragon stones. Each colour provides different bonuses. With version 23.2 (2023), Dragon Amethyst was added as an additional stone type. The types are:
| Stone | Available since | Bonus Category |
|---|---|---|
| Ruby | Version 13.3 (2013) | Stone type with its own effect |
| Sapphire | Version 13.3 (2013) | Stone type with its own effect |
| Onyx | Version 13.3 (2013) | Stone type with its own effect |
| Diamond | Version 13.3 (2013) | Stone type with its own effect |
| Jade | Version 13.3 (2013) | Stone type with its own effect |
| Garnet | Version 13.3 (2013) | Stone type with its own effect |
| Amethyst (Dragon Amethyst) | Version 23.2 (2023) | Latest stone type |
Each type has its own appearance that changes depending on the purity level and grade. The combination of colour, grade and purity determines both the appearance and strength of the respective stone.
The Three Improvement Levels: Grade, Purity and Level
Dragon stones can be improved independently on three levels. If you want to use the system efficiently, you must understand all three:
Grade
Grade determines how many bonuses a dragon stone can have simultaneously. With increasing grade, new bonus slots are added. The grades in ascending order are:
- Raw
- Cut
- Rare
- Antique
- Legendary
- Mythical (since Version 19.0)
In practical terms: A Raw stone has few or one bonus, a Mythical stone can carry multiple different bonuses simultaneously.
Purity
The purity level increases the strength of existing bonuses. A higher purity level means higher values for the same bonuses – the bonuses become stronger, not more numerous. In the dragon stone inventory, the appearance of the stones is arranged horizontally by purity and vertically by grade.
Level
The level of a dragon stone also increases its effect. Level and purity have similar effects – both increase bonus values – and complement each other. If you're aiming for maximum strength, you need to optimise all three levels.
The Dragon Stone Inventory: Access and Operation
The dragon stone inventory is a separate interface that does not display normal items. There are three ways to open it:
- Via the dedicated button in the normal inventory
- Via the chat bar
- Via the assigned key (default key binding in the game)
Dragon stones automatically land in the dragon stone inventory after being received and cannot be combined with or confused with normal items.
Where Do You Get Dragon Stones?
The simplest and most regular way to get dragon stones is the daily quest:
- Daily Dragon Stone Quest: Available from character level 30 onwards. The quest can be completed daily and provides dragon stones or materials for alchemy.
For beginners, the daily quest is the most important lever for making continuous progress in the alchemy system. If you play daily and don't skip the quest, you will build a solid alchemy foundation in the long run.
In addition, there are Dragon Stone Shards and Dragon Stone Shards+ as separate items in the Dragon Stone Alchemy category, which can also be collected and used.
