What is the Metin2 Item Shop?
The Metin2 Item Shop is the official in-game store of the MMORPG. It offers players a wide range of optional features to make gameplay more comfortable, customise their character individually and efficiently accelerate daily progress in the game world. Dragoncoins (DR) integrated in the game serve as the currency.
Currencies in the Item Shop: DR vs. DM
To purchase items in the shop, the system uses two interconnected currencies:
- Dragoncoins (DR): This currency is loaded directly via the Gameforge portal. It forms the basis for purchasing all regular items and time-limited offers in the shop.
- Dragon Marks (DM): When you spend Dragoncoins, your account automatically receives Dragon Marks as a bonus credit on a 1:1 ratio. There is a dedicated section in the Item Shop for these marks where you can purchase useful consumables such as potions or scrolls.
Core Categories for Character Progression
Premium Features (Comfort & Automation)
This includes the Third Hand, which automatically picks up dropped Yang for the player, and Extended Storage, which doubles the storage space for items. The paid version of Auto Hunt also allows you to use skills and potions in automatic combat mode.
EXP and Drop Boosts
Items such as the Experience Ring and Thief's Gloves from the Item Shop can be combined (stacked) with versions obtained in-game. They temporarily double the experience gained and the chance of obtaining valuable items from monsters and Metin Stones.
Equipment Optimisation
The shop offers direct access to items for refining your equipment. This includes Enchant Item (for rerolling bonus values), Reinforce Item (for adding new bonuses), as well as Smithing Manuals, which increase the success rate when upgrading high-level equipment.
Costumes and Cosmetic Set Bonuses
Costumes, hairstyles and weapon skins not only change your look but can also be given strong PvE attributes in-game. When certain event costumes are combined with matching pets or mounts, a powerful set bonus activates that provides additional stat values.
Strategic Use for Beginners
For players starting on a new server or with a fresh character, maximising time efficiency is the priority. Recommended starter features include:
- Third Hand: Eliminates the need for manual collection of in-game currency and significantly speeds up gameplay flow.
- Thief's Gloves & Experience Ring: Provide a quick start to reach the midgame promptly and secure important upgrade materials on the first maps.
Dynamic Shop Mechanics & Sales Actions
During advanced gameplay and seasonal events, the Item Shop uses various dynamic sales windows and promotion formats to temporarily offer rare items:
The Wheel of Fortune
A recurring mini-game directly on the Item Shop user interface. For a cost of Dragoncoins, players can spin the wheel to win exclusive main prizes such as the Lollipop of Power or rare mount certificates with a bit of luck.
Flash Deals
Heavily time-limited special offers where certain items are unlocked in the shop at a significantly reduced price for a short time window.
Lightning Auctions (Countdown Auctions)
A competitive auction format with limited stock. A rare item starts at a maximum price that automatically decreases at fixed intervals. Players must strategically decide when the price is optimal – however, once the limited stock is depleted, the auction for that item ends immediately.
Regular Sales & Discounts
At regular intervals, discount promotions are held on everyday items. Additionally, special items are repeatedly added temporarily to the shop that are not part of the permanent standard rotation.
Tip for finding information: Announcements about current sales, discounts and the exact start times of lightning auctions can be found directly in the Gameforge Launcher or in the special Item Shop News in the official forum.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get Item Shop items without real money?
Yes, through in-game trading. Many popular items from the Item Shop are freely tradeable between players.
Additionally, during special shop sales, players can purchase Dragoncoin Vouchers (DR Vouchers). These vouchers can be sold on the in-game marketplace for Yang or Won to other players. The buyer can redeem the voucher and receives the listed DR amount credited directly to their shop account. This gives free-to-play players the opportunity to fund any shop feature purely through in-game currency, whilst other players can legally improve their Yang account.
Where do I find information about current shop offers?
Announcements about special promotions, discounts, new costumes and the starts of the Wheel of Fortune are published in the official Metin2 forum in the specific "Item Shop News" section. You can also see current sales and ongoing flash deals directly in the Gameforge Launcher. Live in-game, active lightning auctions and time-limited offers are signalled exclusively directly on the Item Shop interface.
