The Haste Potion is a consumable item in Metin2 that temporarily boosts your character's speed. It falls into the category of combat potions and is used by many players in PvP and grinding to reach enemies faster, dodge attacks, and increase attack cadence. If you want to optimally prepare your character for combat, you cannot ignore the right potions – the Haste Potion is a permanent fixture in many inventories.
What is the Haste Potion?
The Haste Potion is a temporary buff potion that, when consumed, increases your character's speed – both movement speed and attack speed – for a limited duration. It is known across multiple languages and regions of the game, such as Lektvar spěchu (CZ), Poción de Prisa (ES), Potion de célérité (FR), Mikstura Pośpiechu (PL), Sietség itala (HU), or Soğutma İksiri (TR). This shows how widespread this potion is across all Metin2 regions.
The potion exists in two variants:
- Haste Potion – the standard version
- Haste Potion B – an improved or alternative version (also known as Sietség itala B in Hungarian or Licoarea Grabei B in Romanian)
Haste Potion vs. Haste Potion B – Comparing the Two Variants
In Metin2, it is common for potions to exist in a base and an improved "B" version. The B variant typically offers stronger or longer-lasting effects. The same principle applies to the Haste Potion: the Haste Potion B is the more powerful version, available through specific sources or content.
| Variant | English Name | German Name | Known Language Versions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Haste Potion | Trank der Hast | EN, CZ, ES, FR, GR, HU, IT, NL, PL, PT, RO, TR |
| Improved | Haste Potion B | Trank der Hast B | EN, HU, RO |
Both variants are consumable items, meaning they disappear permanently from your inventory after use. It is therefore worthwhile to use them strategically and efficiently – for example during boss fights, in PvP, or in dungeons with time pressure.
Combat Potions in Metin2 – The Key Categories
The Haste Potion is just one part of Metin2's potion system. To fully buff your character, you should know and combine other buff potions:
Potion of Attack
The Potion of Attack temporarily increases your character's attack value. It exists in four different variants, including:
- Potion of Attack +10 (DE: Trank des Angriffs +10)
- Potion of Attack +10 B (FR: Potion d'attaque +10, IT: Pozione dell'Attacco +10)
- Potion of Attack +15 (DE: Trank des Angriffs +15)
- Additional variant (according to Wiki, four variants total)
The +15 variant is the strongest known version and particularly relevant for advanced players looking to maximise their damage output.
| Variant | English Name | Known Language Versions |
|---|---|---|
| Potion of Attack +10 | Potion of Attack +10 | EN, HU, RO |
| Potion of Attack +10 B | Potion of Attack +10 B | EN, FR, HU, IT, RO |
| Potion of Attack +15 | Potion of Attack +15 | EN, HU, RO |
| Additional variant | – | According to Wiki, four variants total |
Wisdom Potion
The Wisdom Potion (DE: Trank der Weisheit, CZ: Lektvar vědomostí, IT: Pozione Ascesa (3h), PL: Mikstura Mądrości, TR: Bilgelik İksiri) is particularly interesting for Shamans and magic-focused classes, as it boosts wisdom and magic-related attributes. The Italian designation "Pozione Ascesa (3h)" indicates a duration of 3 hours.
Dragon Force Potion
The Dragon Force Potion (DE: Trank der Drachenmacht, CZ: Lektvar dračí moci, IT: Pozione Forza del Drago, PL: Mikstura Mocy Smoka, TR: Ejderha Gücü İksiri) is another buff potion with its own area of effect. It thematically relates to Metin2's dragon system and appeals to players using dragon-specific abilities or content.
When and How to Best Use the Haste Potion
The Haste Potion proves its full value in specific gaming situations. Here are the most common use cases:
- PvP (Player vs. Player): Higher movement speed means better positioning, faster dodging, and more pressure on your opponent. Being faster gives you a clear advantage in PvP.
- Timed Dungeons: In dungeons where time matters, speed potions help you traverse rooms faster and defeat bosses more efficiently.
- Grinding on Maps: When farming monsters, the Haste Potion enables you to defeat more enemies in less time – directly increasing efficiency.
- Escaping Dangerous Situations: When your character is overwhelmed, a speed boost can help you flee from hostile groups.
Potion Combinations for Maximum Efficiency
In Metin2, multiple buff potions can be active simultaneously, as long as they affect different attributes. A sensible combination for challenging content looks like this:
- Haste Potion or Haste Potion B for speed
- Potion of Attack +15 for maximum attack damage
- Wisdom Potion (for Shamans/Mages) or Dragon Force Potion depending on class and content
Important: Potions are consumables that can vary in cost or rarity depending on their source (vendor, drop, event, item shop). Think carefully about when using these resources is worthwhile – such as during important boss runs, guild PvP, or event dungeons.
