Potions and Elixirs in Metin2 – Overview
Metin2 fundamentally distinguishes between elixirs and potions. Both are consumable items that you activate from your inventory. They grant your character various status buffs for a limited duration. The most important potions in the game include:
- Potion of Dragon Force – known as Dragon Force Potion (EN), Ejderha Gücü İksiri (TR) or Sárkányerő bájital (HU). A potion that grants combat power buffs.
- Potion of Haste – internationally known as Potion of Haste (EN), Poción de Prisa (ES) or Soğutma İksiri (TR). Grants movement or attack speed buffs.
- Potion of Wisdom – in Czech Lektvar vědomostí, in Italian Pozione Ascesa (3h), in Polish Mikstura Mądrości. The designation "3h" in Italian indicates a duration of three hours.
- Potion of Attack – exists in four different variants, including the Potion of Attack +10 (EN: Potion of Attack +10).
Potion of Attack – Variants Overview
The Potion of Attack is particularly relevant for offensive playstyles. According to the wiki, there are four different variants of it. One of them is the Potion of Attack +10, known internationally as Licoarea Atacului +10 (RO), Támadó ital +10 (HU) or Potion of Attack +10 (EN). The different levels of the potion correspond to different strength levels of the attack buff.

| Further variants | – | Total of 4 variants according to wiki |
Potion of Haste – Faster in Combat
The Potion of Haste is one of the most frequently used consumable options in PvP and farming. It exists in multiple language versions and is therefore a globally relevant item in all Metin2 versions. In addition to the standard variant, there is also the Potion of Haste B (Potion of Haste B), which is documented in the Arabic, English, Hungarian and Romanian versions of the game. The "B" designation indicates an alternate or enhanced version of the potion.
The Potion of Haste is available in the following languages: Arabic (جرعة التسرع), Czech (Lektvar spěchu), English (Potion of Haste), Spanish (Poción de Prisa), French (Potion de célérité), Greek (Φίλτρο Βιασύνης), Hungarian (Sietség itala), Italian (Pozione della Fretta), Dutch (Brouwsel van Haast), Polish (Mikstura Pośpiechu), Portuguese (Poção da Rapidez), Romanian (Licoarea Grabei) and Turkish (Soğutma İksiri).
Potion of Wisdom – For EXP and Progression
The Potion of Wisdom (Bilgelik İksiri in Turkish, Mikstura Mądrości in Polish) is another relevant buff potion in Metin2. The Italian version carries the addition "3h" in the name – Pozione Ascesa (3h) – indicating a duration of three hours. This potion is particularly interesting for players actively levelling or wanting to make farming sessions more efficient.
Potion of Dragon Force – Combat Power Boost
The Potion of Dragon Force (Dragon Force Potion, EN) is another classic buff potion in Metin2. It is known, amongst others, in Czech as Lektvar dračí moci, in Italian as Pozione Forza del Drago, in Polish as Mikstura Mocy Smoka and in Turkish as Ejderha Gücü İksiri. The name suggests an attack or combat power bonus that can be useful in combat against strong enemies or in dungeons.
Tips for sensible use of Elixirs and Potions
Potions and elixirs in Metin2 are temporary consumables – their use should therefore be planned. Here are practical tips for the English community:
- Save potions for boss fights: Use strong elixirs such as the Potion of Dragon Force strategically for dungeons or boss fights, not during normal grinding.
- Use buff combinations: Metin2 allows simultaneous activation of multiple potions. Combine, for example, the Potion of Haste with the Potion of Attack for maximum efficiency.
- Compare variants: Check whether you are using the standard or B/+10 variant of a potion. Higher variants are usually stronger but also rarer or more expensive.
- Potion of Wisdom while levelling: Use wisdom potions with long duration (e.g. 3 hours) for extended EXP farming sessions.
- Small vs. large variants: The "S" in Moon Elixir (S) stands for Small. For short phases, the small variant is sufficient; for longer sessions, larger variants are more worthwhile.
