In Metin2, potions and elixirs are consumable items that grant temporary bonuses to attack, resistance, movement or other combat stats. The most important groups include the Earth Resist Elixir (earth resistance bonus), the Haste Potion (movement speed), the Attack Potion (in four variants), as well as the Dragon Force Potion and the Wisdom Potion. Players who use these items strategically gain clear advantages in PvP and PvE over those who rely solely on base stats.
What is the Earth Resist Elixir?
The Earth Resist Elixir is a consumable item that grants a character a temporary bonus to earth damage resistance. It is known in several language versions of the game – in Arabic as إكسير مقاومة الأرض, in French as Élixir résist. terre, in Hungarian as Föld ellenállás elixír, in Italian as Elisir Resistenza Terra and in Polish as Eliksir Odp. na Ziemię.
Earth resistance is particularly relevant when fighting enemies that deal earth damage – including certain boss monsters and dungeon enemies. An active Earth Resist Elixir reduces incoming earth damage for the duration of its effect. The item is suitable for all classes, as elemental resistance works independently of class.
Haste Potion and Haste Potion B
The Haste Potion temporarily increases the movement speed of a character. Faster movement is crucial in Metin2 in many situations: when evading enemies, when quickly farming large areas, or in PvP, where positioning can decide between victory and defeat.
There are two known variants:
- Haste Potion – The standard version, internationally known as Potion of Haste (EN), Mikstura Pośpiechu (PL), Lektvar spěchu (CZ), Poción de Prisa (ES), Licoarea Grabei (RO) and Soğutma İksiri (TR).
- Haste Potion B – An improved or alternative variant of the same item. Internationally known as Potion of Haste B (EN) and Licoarea Grabei B (RO).
The letter "B" in the name typically indicates an improved or time-adjusted variant in Metin2. Which version you need depends on availability and personal playstyle.
Attack Potion – Four Variants Overview
The Attack Potion exists in Metin2 in a total of four different variants. These differ in the strength of the attack bonus and in availability with or without the "B" designation. Two of the documented variants are the Attack Potion +10 and the Attack Potion +10 B.
| Item Name (EN) | International Name (Examples) | Designation |
|---|---|---|
| Attack Potion +10 | Potion of Attack +10 (EN), Licoarea Atacului +10 (RO), Támadó ital +10 (HU) | Standard variant |
| Attack Potion +10 B | Potion of Attack +10 B (EN), Potion d'attaque +10 (FR), Pozione dell'Attacco +10 (IT), Licoarea Atacului+15 (B) (RO) | B variant |
| Attack Potion (Var. 3) | – | Further variant (check details in-game) |
| Attack Potion (Var. 4) | – | Further variant (check details in-game) |
Worth noting: The Romanian wiki designation "Licoarea Atacului+15 (B)" for the B variant of the +10 potion suggests there may be slight naming or effect variations between server versions. Always rely on the item description in-game for current values.
Dragon Force Potion
The Dragon Force Potion is another consumable item from the potion category. It is known in Czech as Lektvar dračí moci, in Hungarian as Sárkányerő bájital, in Polish as Mikstura Mocy Smoka and in Turkish as Ejderha Gücü İksiri.
The name suggests a combat-related effect that may be connected to the game's dragon force mechanic. Exact values should be checked directly in-game. As part of the potion system, it functions like other combat potions: once used, it applies for a limited time and cannot be stacked with similar effects.
Wisdom Potion
The Wisdom Potion is known in Czech as Lektvar vědomostí, in Polish as Mikstura Mądrości and in Turkish as Bilgelik İksiri. The Italian designation "Pozione Ascesa (3h)" provides a hint of a possible duration of three hours. Wisdom in Metin2 affects, among other things, magic damage values and is particularly relevant for Shamans and Suras.
If the 3-hour duration from the IT wiki is correct, this potion offers a comparatively long effect duration – making it attractive for farming runs and longer dungeon sections.
General Tips for Using Potions in Metin2
- Check stacking: Many similar potions cannot be active simultaneously. Wait until one effect runs out before using another – or check if different potion types can be combined.
- Priority by content: When farming Metins, attack bonus matters more. In dungeons with strong elemental enemies, resistance elixirs like the Earth Resist Elixir are worth using.
- Movement speed in PvP: The Haste Potion is particularly useful in PvP, as kiting strategies and quick position changes can be decisive.
- Don't hoard potions: Potions with expiry dates (time-limited items) should be used before expiring. Check your inventory regularly.
- Weigh cost versus benefit: Expensive potions are worth using mainly during efficient farming runs or important PvP events, not when levelling in low-level areas.
Which Potions for Which Situation?
| Situation | Recommended Potion / Elixir | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Farming Metins | Attack Potion (+10 / +10 B) | Higher attack = faster kills = more drops per hour |
| Dungeon with earth elements | Earth Resist Elixir | Reduces incoming earth damage from bosses and mobs |
| Traverse large maps quickly | Haste Potion / Haste Potion B | Increased movement speed saves time while farming |
| PvP / Guild Wars | Haste Potion + Attack Potion | Combination of mobility and damage potential |
| Longer farming runs (Shaman/Sura) | Wisdom Potion (possibly 3h effect) | Long-lasting wisdom bonus for magic damage classes |
| Boss fights with unknown elements | Dragon Force Potion | Combat bonus during challenging boss fights |
