In Metin2, consumables such as elixirs and potions are part of your daily gameplay – whether grinding solo, in dungeons or in PvP. The Elixir of the Sun (S) is one of the best-known special variants in the game, while potions such as the Potion of Haste, the Potion of Dragon Power or the Potion of Attack +10 are used strategically depending on the situation. If you know the different variants and combine them correctly, you'll gain a noticeable advantage.
What is the Elixir of the Sun (S)?
The Elixir of the Sun (S) – also known in the international community as Élixir du soleil (sp) (FR), Elisir del Sole (S) (IT), Elixir do Sol (S) (PT) or Eliksir Słońca (S) (PL) – is a special elixir in Metin2. The "S" or "(S)" in the name stands for the enhanced variant of this elixir type, which distinguishes it from regular versions of the same item. In the German Metin2 version, the item is known by the name Elixir of the Sun (S) and appears in numerous European server versions of Gameforge under different localizations.
Since the Elixir of the Sun (S) is primarily documented in the Wiki with its language versions without mentioning concrete numerical values, it's recommended to check the current effects directly in-game or in the official Gameforge forum. In general: Elixirs of the "S" or "Special" class have stronger or extended effects compared to base variants in Metin2.
Potion of Haste and Potion of Haste B
The Potion of Haste – internationally known as Potion of Haste (EN), Poción de Prisa (ES), Φίλτρο Βιασύνης (GR) or Licoarea Grabei (RO) – is one of the most frequently used potions in the game. It primarily affects the movement speed of your character and is therefore valuable both for farming and PvP use.
In addition, there is an improved variant called the Potion of Haste B (EN: Potion of Haste B). The "B" version is typically stronger or has a longer duration than the base version. In the Arabic server version, the item is called جرعة التسرع or جرعة التسرع B for the B variant.
| Variant | International Name (EN) | Specialty |
|---|---|---|
| Potion of Haste | Potion of Haste | Base version, movement bonus |
| Potion of Haste B | Potion of Haste B | Improved variant |
Potion of Dragon Power
The Potion of Dragon Power – known as Dragon Force Potion (EN), Pozione Forza del Drago (IT), Lektvar dračí moci (CZ) or Ejderha Gücü İksiri (TR) – is also part of the category of special potions in Metin2. The name hints at an offensive or strength-enhancing effect that is particularly relevant in challenging fights against strong enemies or bosses.
Like many of the stronger potions in Metin2, the Potion of Dragon Power is available in multiple language versions of the game, which indicates its distribution across virtually all European Gameforge servers. Polish players know it as Mikstura Mocy Smoka, Romanian players as Licoare Putere Dragon.
Potion of Wisdom
The Potion of Wisdom – in Turkish Bilgelik İksiri, in Polish Mikstura Mądrości and in Czech Lektvar vědomostí – is another important consumable. In the Italian server version, it is called Pozione Ascesa (3h), which may indicate a duration of 3 hours. The Potion of Wisdom is typically relevant for character development and experience gain and is mainly used when levelling and in late-game content.
Potion of Attack – all four variants
The Potion of Attack is one of the most versatile attack buffs in Metin2 and appears in four different variants according to the Wiki. Two of them are explicitly documented in the Wiki: the Potion of Attack +10 and the Potion of Attack +10 B.
| Variant | EN Name | Known Localizations |
|---|---|---|
| Potion of Attack +10 | Potion of Attack +10 | HU: Támadó ital +10 / RO: Licoarea Atacului +10 |
| Potion of Attack +10 B | Potion of Attack +10 B | FR: Potion d'attaque +10 / IT: Pozione dell'Attacco +10 / RO: Licoarea Atacului+15 (B) |
Notable: The Romanian version of the "Potion of Attack +10 B" carries the name Licoarea Atacului+15 (B), which suggests that regional differences in naming and strength may exist. Overall, according to the Wiki entry, there are four variants of the Potion of Attack – for details on all four levels, it's worth checking the official Metin2 Wiki or the Gameforge forum.
Which potion for which situation?
The choice of the right potion depends greatly on the situation in-game. Here's a quick overview of the most common scenarios:
- Grinding & Levelling: The Potion of Wisdom is the first choice here, as it supports experience gain. Combined with movement potions (Potion of Haste), you can significantly accelerate your farming rhythm.
- Boss fights & Dungeons: Potions like the Potion of Dragon Power and the Potion of Attack +10 (B) boost your attack and increase effectiveness in direct combat against powerful enemies.
- PvP & Metinstones: The Potion of Haste (B) is particularly valuable in PvP, as movement speed critically affects positioning and escape.
- Special events & Time pressure: Elixirs such as the Elixir of the Sun (S) are frequently used in events or for time-critical content, where the stronger effect of the S variant can make the difference.
Getting potions: Sources and tips
Potions and elixirs can be obtained in Metin2 through various methods. Typical sources are:
- Item Shop (Gameforge Shop): Many of the stronger potions and elixirs, especially special variants like the Elixir of the Sun (S), are available in the official shop.
- Drops from monsters and bosses: Regular potions can drop when farming Metinstones, monsters or in dungeons.
- Player market & merchants: Many potions can be purchased on the player market, often at flexible Yang prices that depend on server demand.
- Events & Rewards: Seasonal events frequently offer potions as rewards – regularly check patch notes and event announcements on the Gameforge portal.
In general: Potions do not stack, meaning the same potion effect cannot be active multiple times. Combining different potion types (e.g. movement + attack) is, however, possible and common practice in the community.
