In Metin2 there are a variety of specialised potions that strengthen your character in different situations. The Potion of Ascension, the Potion of Haste, the Potion of Wisdom, the Potion of Dragon Force and various Attack potions are among the most commonly used consumable items in the game. Each potion type fulfils its own role – whether for faster running, more attack power or other bonuses. This guide explains which potions exist, in which variants they come, and how to use them effectively.
Overview: The most important potion types in Metin2
Metin2 distinguishes between different potion categories. Some potions boost your combat values directly, while others affect movement or other attributes. The following overview shows which main categories are available in the game:
| Potion | Variants | Known International Names |
|---|---|---|
| Potion of Ascension | 1 known variant | Pozione Ascesa (it), Lektvar vědomostí (cz), Bilgelik İksiri (tr) |
| Potion of Dragon Force | 1 known variant | Dragon Force Potion (en), Pozione Forza del Drago (it), Ejderha Gücü İksiri (tr) |
| Potion of Haste | 2 variants (Standard + B) | Potion of Haste (en), Poción de Prisa (es), Potion de célérité (fr) |
| Potion of Wisdom | 1 known variant | Pozione Ascesa 3h (it), Lektvar vědomostí (cz), Bilgelik İksiri (tr) |
| Potion of Attack | 4 variants | Potion of Attack +10 (en), Potion of Attack +10 B (en/fr/it) |
Potion of Ascension
The Potion of Ascension is a consumable item known by this name in the German Metin2 version. Internationally it appears under various designations: In Czech it is called Lektvar vědomostí, in Italian Pozione della Saggezza, in Polish Mikstura Mądrości and in Turkish Bilgelik İksiri. The naming varies depending on the language version, showing that translation is not always uniformly literal.
Those who want to use the Potion of Ascension strategically should note that the exact effect can be read in-game on the item itself. Generally, potions in this category count as temporary boosts that remain active for a certain period of time.
Potion of Dragon Force
The Potion of Dragon Force is one of the most striking potions in the game. Its English name Dragon Force Potion makes clear that it is thematically based on Metin2's dragon world. This potion is also available in various language versions: Hungarian (Sárkányerő bájital), Romanian (Licoare Putere Dragon), Turkish (Ejderha Gücü İksiri), Polish (Mikstura Mocy Smoka) and Italian (Pozione Forza del Drago).
The Potion of Dragon Force is particularly relevant in intense combat situations, such as when farming stronger monsters or visiting dungeons. Since Metin2 receives regular updates, it's worth checking the current wiki for exact effect values.
Potion of Haste – Standard and Variant B
The Potion of Haste is one of the most widespread utility potions in Metin2 and is represented in particularly many language versions. This indicates its high relevance for the player base. It exists in two variants:
- Potion of Haste (Standard) – available in Arabic (جرعة التسرع), Czech, English, Spanish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian and Turkish.
- Potion of Haste B – a second variant, known in Arabic, English, Hungarian and Romanian.
The broad international distribution of the Potion of Haste shows that it is one of the core items in Metin2. Both variants – Standard and B – are available in-game. The exact differences between the Standard version and the B variant can be seen directly on the item in the game.
Potions of this type are typically particularly useful when questing in large areas where quick movement saves time, or when farming if you need to switch quickly between spawn points.
Potion of Wisdom
The Potion of Wisdom shares its name with the Potion of Ascension in some language versions – a hint that both potions might be thematically related or their translations overlap. In Italian it is called Pozione Ascesa (3h), which suggests a duration of effect of three hours. In Czech and Polish it is also called Lektvar vědomostí and Mikstura Mądrości respectively, identical to the Potion of Ascension.
These name overlaps between Potion of Ascension and Potion of Wisdom can be confusing. In the game itself, however, the items are clearly distinguishable by their icon and item description. To be sure which potion you currently have in your inventory, check the exact item description in-game.
Potion of Attack – Four Variants in Detail
The Potion of Attack is particularly interesting because according to the wiki it exists in four different variants. From the available wiki data, two specific variants can be confirmed by name:
| Variant | English Name | Other Language Versions |
|---|---|---|
| Potion of Attack +10 | Potion of Attack +10 | Támadó ital +10 (hu), Licoarea Atacului +10 (ro) |
| Potion of Attack +10 B | Potion of Attack +10 B | Potion d'attaque +10 (fr), Pozione dell'Attacco +10 (it), Licoarea Atacului+15 (B) (ro) |
Interesting: The Romanian version of the Potion of Attack +10 B carries the suffix +15 instead of +10, which either indicates different scaling in this language version or an editorial difference. Overall, according to the wiki there are four variants of the Attack potion – the exact values of the remaining two variants can be checked in-game.
Attack potions are primarily relevant for character builds that focus on maximum damage output. They are well suited for boss fights, dungeons or PvP situations where every point of attack counts.
Using Potions Correctly – Practical Tips
Simply collecting potions does little good if you don't use them at the right moment. Here are some practice-oriented tips for sensible use:
- Potion of Haste: Ideal when questing or farming in large areas where travel times cost time. Activate it before you cover a longer distance.
- Potion of Attack: Save the stronger variants (+10 or +10 B) for boss fights or dungeon runs. In everyday grinding, the base variant is often sufficient.
- Potion of Dragon Force: Well suited for intensive farming sessions or when grinding in areas that correspond to your level or slightly above.
- Potion of Wisdom / Potion of Ascension: If a duration of several hours is specified (such as the 3-hour variant in Italian), it's worthwhile not to waste these potions in the middle of a short session – activate them at the beginning of a longer play session.
- B variants: Whether the Standard or B variant is more effective depends on the specific effect difference. Check the item description in-game before deciding which variant you prefer to use.
Where do you get the potions?
Potions in Metin2 are available through various means. Basically, there are the following sources that are relevant for most potion types:
- Item Shop / Gameforge Shop: Many premium potions such as Potion of Haste B or stronger attack potions are available through the official shop.

- Events and Rewards: Metin2 offers regular events where potions are awarded as rewards.
- Player Trading: Many potions can be obtained through trading with other players, provided they are tradeable.
The exact availability of individual potions can change with updates. The official Metin2 Wiki and the Patch Notes are the most reliable sources for this.
