The Summer Raffle 2016 is a temporary event system in Metin2, accessible exclusively through the in-game Item Shop. Every account can participate — those who are at least Level 30 and have completed the quest "The Biologist's Research (Ork Fang)" before the event starts will receive a free ticket daily. Every drawn ticket guarantees a win: either an item or a lucky symbol.
Requirements and Participation Terms
The Summer Raffle 2016 has two different access routes, depending on player progress:
- Daily Free Ticket (Standard): Account is at least Level 30 and the quest "The Biologist's Research (Ork Fang)" was completed before the official event start.
- Free Ticket for Low-Level Players: If you are still below Level 30, you can still participate — provided you purchase at least one ticket per day for 7 consecutive days. From the 8th day onwards, this account will also receive a daily free ticket.
The raffle can only be opened in-game via the Item Shop, not through external websites or the event UI. A new raffle day begins at 04:00 each day.
Ticket Costs Overview
In addition to the daily free ticket, players can purchase additional tickets per day for Dragon Coins (DC). There's a convenient early-bird bonus: tickets for the next day can be purchased a day earlier at a slightly lower price — a maximum of five such tickets.
After these first five tickets, you have the option to purchase 4 additional tickets on a single day. The costs are tiered as follows:
| Ticket Number | Cost (DC) |
|---|---|
| 1st additional ticket | 45 DC |
| 2nd additional ticket | 51 DC |
| 3rd additional ticket | 69 DC |
| 4th additional ticket | 69 DC |
The cheaper early-bird tickets (for the following day) are limited to 5 per day. The exact Dragon Coin price for these early-bird tickets is below the standard prices listed above.
Golden Tickets – A Special Chance
When drawing a ticket, you can randomly encounter a Golden Ticket. Golden tickets appear randomly and offer three benefits at once:
- You automatically receive a lucky symbol.
- You receive an additional prize (item).
- Your chance of winning the daily prize is doubled.
Golden tickets can also be collected. If you have 5 golden tickets together, you can exchange them for 1 to 3 free spins on the Wheel of Destiny. This makes collecting golden tickets particularly worthwhile, as the Wheel of Destiny offers its own valuable rewards.
Lucky Symbols and Their Prizes
Every ticket can deliver a lucky symbol instead of a direct item win. Lucky symbols are not a consolation prize — they are their own reward system within the raffle.
Once you have collected 3 lucky symbols, you receive a prize depending on the total point value of the symbols you've obtained. It's important to note:
- The prize at 3 lucky symbols must be claimed before you can draw further tickets. As long as the prize is not claimed, no new tickets can be activated.
- If you're not satisfied with your win, you can re-roll when you have 3 symbols. Re-rolling costs 5 Dragon Runes (DR) per attempt and can be repeated as often as you wish.
Which prizes are available at which point value depends on the specific symbols and their point values. The range covers various in-game items that are automatically delivered to the Item Shop inventory of your account.
Win Mechanic: What Happens After Drawing?
The raffle is designed so that no ticket goes empty. Every drawn ticket delivers either:
- An item, which is placed directly and automatically in your Item Shop inventory — no manual pickup required.
- A lucky symbol, which counts towards collecting 3 symbols.
- Or — if you're lucky — a golden ticket with a triple bonus (lucky symbol + item + doubled daily prize chance).
The daily prize is a special additional win that every regular ticket has a base chance of winning. This chance is doubled when you draw a golden ticket. Daily prizes change daily and are typically particularly valuable.
Integration into the Metin2 Event System
The Summer Raffle 2016 belongs to the category of IS activities (Item Shop activities) in the Metin2 event system. Together with the Advent Calendar, it forms the group of raffle events. The overarching event UI, which was introduced with Update 19.1, displays active events on all servers and channels — however, the raffle itself must be opened directly via the Item Shop, not through the event UI.
The summer event is one of the annually recurring events in Metin2, which also includes anniversary, Valentine's Day, Easter, Blood Moon, Halloween and Christmas events. The raffle is a standalone element with its own mechanics.
Tips for the Summer Raffle 2016
- Complete quest in advance: If you want the daily free ticket, you must definitely finish the quest "The Biologist's Research (Ork Fang)" before the event starts. After that, it's too late to claim the free ticket.
- Use early-bird purchases: Purchasing the 5 tickets for the next day a day early saves Dragon Coins — take advantage of this consistently.
- Collect golden tickets: Don't forget to exchange them — 5 golden tickets give you 1–3 free Wheel of Destiny spins.
- Claim lucky symbol prize: When you've collected 3 lucky symbols, claim immediately, otherwise the unclaimed prize will block all further tickets.
- Weigh re-rolling carefully: Re-rolling costs 5 DR per attempt. Only worthwhile if the current prize is significantly worse than expected alternatives.
- Mind the daily rhythm: The raffle day changes at 04:00. If you play just before midnight, make sure you don't accidentally use your free tickets twice on the same day.
