The Moon Elixir (M) – often shortened to "M-potion" in the Metin2 community – is a mid-tier consumable item that grants characters temporary bonuses. The item exists in two variants: the standard version and the Moon Elixir (M) B, an improved variant. For players who want to buff their character efficiently, understanding potions and elixirs is essential game knowledge – this guide covers everything you need to know.
What is the Moon Elixir (M)?
The Moon Elixir (M) is a consumable item in the buff potion category in Metin2. The suffix (M) stands for "medium" – representing the middle tier in the Moon Elixir series. It exists in international versions across multiple languages including Polish (Eliksir Księżyca (Ś)), Hungarian (Hold elixír (közepes)) and Turkish (Ay Özütü (K)). This makes it a mid-level potion within the Moon Elixir product line.
Consumable items in this category are a permanent fixture of Metin2's progression and farming systems. Whether you want to level efficiently, tackle dungeons or engage in PvP, having a well-stocked potion inventory is essential.
The Two Variants at a Glance
The Moon Elixir (M) comes in two versions that differ in availability and potency:
| Variant | Internal Name (English) | Special Feature | Available in Server Versions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moon Elixir (M) | Moon Elixir (M) | Standard version, mid-tier | DE, EN, CZ, ES, FR, HU, IT, NL, PL, PT, RO, TR |
| Moon Elixir (M) B | Moon Elixir (M) B | B variant (improved version) | DE, EN, AR, HU, RO |
The B variant is an improved version of the standard elixir. The "B" designation appears on various potions in Metin2 and typically indicates a stronger or differently sourced version of the base item. The B variant is available in fewer server versions, suggesting a more specific origin or distribution method.
Classification: Potions and Elixirs in Metin2
Metin2 offers a wide range of consumables that grant temporary bonuses. The Moon Elixir (M) is one of many items in this category. For better understanding, it's worth comparing it to similar potions in the game:
| Potion / Elixir | English Name | Focus | B Variant Available |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moon Elixir (M) | Moon Elixir (M) | Moon buff (mid-tier) | Yes |
| Potion of Haste | Potion of Haste | Movement speed | Yes |
| Potion of Attack +10 | Potion of Attack +10 | Attack power (+10) | No (own variants) |
| Dragon Force Potion | Dragon Force Potion | Dragon force buff | No |
| Potion of Wisdom | Potion of Wisdom / Ascesa (3h) | Wisdom / experience buff | Not known |
The Potion of Haste, for example, also exists in a B variant and is available in numerous server versions – from Arabic to Turkish. The Potion of Attack, on the other hand, comes in four different variants, including the Potion of Attack +10. This variety shows: Metin2 has developed a complex system of consumables over the years.
Combining Buff Potions Effectively
A single potion rarely makes a decisive difference – but combining several buff items does. Those who use the Moon Elixir (M) should know which other potions complement it well:
- Potion of Haste: Increases movement speed. Especially when farming in large areas, this is a real time-saver. Here too, a B variant exists.
- Dragon Force Potion: Another fortification potion that works well in farming and boss sessions.
- Potion of Attack +10: Directly focused on damage enhancement. Ideal for players who need maximum output.
- Potion of Wisdom: Particularly relevant for players actively levelling or collecting experience points.
Golden rule: Before every dungeon run or demanding farming session, it's worth checking your active buffs and refreshing them strategically. Don't waste potions with long duration like elixirs on weak enemies just before they expire.
Standard vs. B Variant: When is Which Worth Using?
The B variant of Moon Elixir (M) is not available on all server versions. On servers where both variants are accessible, the question arises: when should you use the B version?
As a rule of thumb in the Metin2 community: B variants are either stronger, longer-lasting or available from different sources (e.g. events, special merchants). Which applies to your server is best checked via the official Metin2 news centre or the in-game item description.
As a general principle: if you can buy or farm the B variant cheaply, you should prefer it. Otherwise, the standard version is perfectly adequate for regular gameplay.
International Versions – the "M" in the Name
The Moon Elixir (M) is a global item that exists in almost all language versions of Metin2. The abbreviation changes depending on the language:
- German: Elixier des Mondes (M)
- English: Moon Elixir (M)
- Czech: Elixír Měsíce (S)
- Spanish: Elixir de la Luna (M)
- French: Élixir de la lune (m)
- Hungarian: Hold elixír (közepes)

If you're searching for information on international forums or communities, you'll find the item under these names. On English-language wikis and forums in particular, "Moon Elixir (M)" is the most common designation.
Practical Tips for Everyday Play
Here are some concrete tips from the community on handling the Moon Elixir (M) and similar potions:
- Stack potions: Many buff items can be active simultaneously. Check which buffs overlap and which run independently.
- Mind the timing: Activate elixirs just before an important farming spot or dungeon entrance, not whilst travelling.
- Prepare your inventory: Pack enough potions for a complete session – nothing's more frustrating than an empty inventory in the middle of a dungeon.
- Watch market prices: Potions are actively traded. Buying strategically saves you significantly – especially during event discounts.
- Use B variants strategically: If the B variant is available through a current event, it's worth stocking up – they're often more cost-effective in terms of potency-to-price ratio.
