The Dragon Helms in Metin2 are wearable from level 96 and were introduced to the game with patch 19.3 on 18 June 2019. Upon their release, they were the first items in the game that could be upgraded to +15 – making them a unique category in equipment progression. Complementing the helms are class-specific weapons for Warrior, Sura, Assassin, Shaman and Lycan, each with their own weapon types.
What Are Dragon Helms?
Dragon helms are a special helmet category introduced with the patch 19.3 update in mid-2019. What makes these helms special: they can be upgraded to +15 – at a time when all other items in the game could only be upgraded to +9. This made dragon helms true pioneers of the Metin2 upgrade system.
The minimum requirement of level 96 ensures that dragon helms represent an equipment goal for experienced players. Those pushing into the high-level endgame should familiarise themselves with these helms early on to choose the optimal headgear for their character.
Dragon Helms Overview
There are several different dragon helms in the game. Since the wiki currently does not contain a complete publicly visible stats table with concrete values for each helm, it is recommended to consult the official Metin2 database or the Metin2 Wiki directly to see the current detailed values of the respective helm variants. As a general rule: the higher the upgrade level (+1 to +15), the more the helm's base stats scale.
The upgrade system up to +15 means that players can invest significantly more in a single helm compared to classic equipment items. This makes choosing the right dragon helm for your own class particularly important – a wrongly chosen helm will cost many resources during upgrades.
Upgrade System: Enhancing Dragon Helms to +15
The upgrade system for dragon helms was unique in Metin2 at its introduction. While normal items capped out at +9, dragon helms can be upgraded to +15. This means six additional upgrade tiers compared to the standard – and correspondingly more upgrading potential in terms of base stats.
Important to know: each upgrade tier increases the requirements for materials and the risk of failure – exact percentages vary depending on server version and should be checked in the current wiki. Generally speaking, the community recommends only upgrading dragon helms beyond +9 if you have sufficient upgrade materials and Yang available.

Weapons in Metin2: Class Overview
Alongside helms, weapons are the second central equipment slot in Metin2. Each of the five playable classes has its own weapon types and categories, designed exclusively for that class:
- Warrior – Melee-focused weapons, typical for tank and DPS builds
- Sura – Weapons for the magic-infused combat class with varied playstyles
- Assassin – Fast weapons for high single-target damage and mobility
- Shaman – Weapons that support both support and offensive builds
- Lycan – Bestial weapons for the werewolf class
Detailed weapon guides for each class can be found in the class-specific sections of the wiki. Particularly for Sura, there is a dedicated Sura Weapons Skill Guide that links weapon usage with skill progression.
| Class | Weapon Category | Playstyle |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior | Warrior Weapons | Melee, Tank, DPS |
| Sura | Sura Weapons | Magic Melee, Versatile |
| Assassin | Assassin Weapons | Fast, Single-target DPS |
| Shaman | Shaman Weapons | Support + Offensive |
| Lycan | Lycan Weapons | Bestial Melee |
Combining Dragon Helm + Weapon: What to Consider
Dragon helms are designed class-independently – the helm type is not determined by class, but by level (96+) and availability. However, when combining with weapons, you should pay attention to your own class: a helm heavily focused on physical damage will benefit a Warrior differently than a Shaman who primarily seeks magical values.
Since dragon helms can be upgraded to +15, it is recommended to keep the helm at a solid upgrade level (+7 to +9) early on and simultaneously upgrade your class-specific weapon. This prevents a skewed character build where one slot is extremely strong and the other is weak.
Further useful information on class-specific builds and equipment synergies can be found in guides for Warrior, Assassin and Sura Weapon Skills.
Community Tips for Dragon Helms
- Don't rush to +15: The cost for upgrade materials increases sharply with each tier. Make sure your overall build is sound before heavily investing in the helm.
- Choose the right helm variant: There are several dragon helm types – research beforehand which one brings the best base stats for your class and playstyle.
- Farm upgrade materials: Before you start upgrading, ensure you have sufficient resources and Yang to allow for multiple upgrade attempts.
- Level your weapon in parallel: A +15 dragon helm loses its value if your weapon lags far behind. Invest evenly in both slots.
- Follow version updates: Gameforge regularly updates item values and upgrade systems. Check the official wiki after each major patch.
