Metin2 Dragon Weapons Guide – All About Weapons

Dragon Weapons in Metin2 are wearable from Level 96 and represent a milestone in the game's history: they were the first items ever that could be upgraded to +15. They were introduced with Version 19.3 on 18 June 2019. For every endgame character – whether Warrior, Sura, Ninja, Shaman or Lycan – these weapons are a central equipment goal.

What are Dragon Weapons?

Dragon Weapons represent their own weapon class in Metin2's endgame. They were specifically developed for characters from Level 96 onwards and mark the transition into the game's highest equipment tier. The decisive feature: whilst most weapons in Metin2 can only be upgraded to +9, Dragon Weapons allow upgrades to +15. This opens up significantly more room for optimising your character.

With the introduction of these weapons in Version 19.3, Gameforge AG set a new standard for endgame equipment. Dragon Weapons have since become a permanent part of progression for all classes.

Which Classes Can Wear Dragon Weapons?

In Metin2, there are five playable classes, and a unique Dragon Weapon version exists for each:

• Warrior – Close combat focus, typically swords or war axes
• Sura – Magic or weapon Sura, different weapon orientations
• Ninja – Bow or blades, depending on playstyle
• Shaman – Support and magic attacks
• Lycan – Claws as class-specific weapon

Each class has its own Dragon Weapon variants tailored to the respective playstyle. The exact choice of the right weapon depends on your build and class – more on this in the class-specific guides (Warrior Guide, Sura Guide).

Dragon Weapons: Upgrades up to +15

The most important difference from previous weapon generations is the upgrade level up to +15. This makes Dragon Weapons the first items in Metin2 where this level is even possible. The higher the upgrade level, the stronger the base values of the weapon – and the higher the resource investment.

Basically: the path from +0 to +9 corresponds to the familiar upgrade system. From +9 onwards up to +15, an extended mechanism applies that demands significantly higher requirements for materials and possibly protective items. Specific drop rates or success probabilities are not officially documented – plan for sufficient resources before attempting higher levels.

Dragon Weapons from Level 96 – When is it Worth Getting Started?

The requirement for wearing a Dragon Weapon is Level 96. That's clearly in the endgame area. If you haven't reached Level 96 yet, you should first focus on suitable weapons from the previous tier levels and gather resources for the Dragon Weapon without upgrading it prematurely.

From Level 96 onwards, it's recommended to first obtain a Dragon Weapon at +0 and then upgrade it gradually. Since the weapon is already competitive at low levels, it's worth getting started immediately when reaching the level requirement. For a direct comparison with other endgame weapons – such as weapons from special dungeons – consult the general weapons overview.

Dragon Weapons by Class – Which Weapon for Whom?

The wiki sources mention several Dragon Weapon types for the different classes without disclosing all details on individual values. Generally speaking:

• Warrior: Sword (one-handed) or axe/two-handed depending on build (body or spirit)
• Sura: Blade for weapon Sura, magic-based weapon for magic Sura
• Ninja: Bow for ranged Ninja, blades for melee Ninja
• Shaman: Fan or rod, depending on support role or attack focus
• Lycan: Claws as class-specific weapon form

For detailed build recommendations per class, it's worth checking the respective class guides: Ninja Guide, Shaman Guide and Lycan Guide.

Tips for Using Dragon Weapons

Some practical tips to help you get started with Dragon Weapons:

• Gather resources before upgrading: Plan the upgrade from +9 to +10 and higher carefully – material requirements increase significantly.
• Choose the right weapon for your class: Make sure you're wearing the class-correct Dragon Weapon, as each class has its own weapon types.
• Wait until Level 96: Dragon Weapons can only be equipped from Level 96 onwards. Farming early on is useful though so you can get started immediately after levelling up.
• View +15 as a long-term goal: +15 is the absolute maximum – treat it as a long-term objective and upgrade gradually to minimise losses.
• Pay attention to market prices: Dragon Weapons at high upgrade levels are sought-after items. The in-game market can be an alternative to upgrading yourself if you have enough Yang available.
