The Summer Raffle 2021 is a temporary event system in Metin2, accessible exclusively through the in-game Item Shop. Every drawn ticket guarantees a prize – either an item that goes directly into your Item Shop inventory, or a lucky symbol that contributes to special collection rewards. Players who are at least level 30 and have completed the Biologist Quest receive one free ticket daily. Everyone else can earn the free ticket by purchasing at least one ticket on seven consecutive days.
Entry Requirements at a Glance
The Summer Raffle is generally accessible to every account – but depending on your situation, different rules apply for the daily free ticket:
- Instant Free Ticket (from Day 1): Account is at least level 30 and the quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" must be completed before the official raffle start.
- Free Ticket from Day 8 (Sub-Level-30 Path): If you don't meet these requirements, you can still participate. You'll need to purchase at least one ticket on 7 consecutive days. From day 8 onwards, you'll receive a free ticket daily.
- Additional Tickets: Regardless of the free ticket, you can purchase a limited number of additional tickets daily for DM.
The raffle day changes daily at 04:00. Tickets for the following day can be purchased one day in advance at a discounted price.
How to Open the Raffle
The Summer Raffle is only accessible in-game through the Item Shop. There is no access through the game menu or website. Open the Item Shop in-game and navigate to the raffle section. Alternatively, you can use the Event UI (press "E" next to the mini-map) to check active events across all servers and channels – but you only open the raffle itself in the Item Shop.
Ticket Costs and Purchase Structure
Tickets are organised in blocks of 5 each. The first 5 tickets of the day have their own price structure. After that, you can purchase an additional 5 tickets, with individual prices scaled as follows:
| Ticket Position in Block | Cost (DM) |
|---|---|
| Ticket 1 | 68 DM |
| Ticket 2 | 78 DM |
| Ticket 3 | 89 DM |
| Ticket 4 | 89 DM |
Important: Tickets for the next day can already be purchased the day before – and at a cheaper price. If you plan to draw multiple tickets daily, you'll save a significant amount of DM through this early purchase system.
What Can You Win? Prize System Explained
Every drawn ticket guarantees one of two prize types:
- Item Prize: The item is automatically placed in your account's Item Shop inventory. No manual collection required.
- Lucky Symbol: A symbol used in the raffle's collection system (see next section).
The specific items in the tickets and daily prizes depend on the respective raffle period. The exact prize list is visible in the in-game Item Shop.
The Lucky Symbol System
Collecting lucky symbols is the second path to winning in the raffle. Once you've collected three lucky symbols, you receive – depending on the point total of the three symbols – a corresponding prize from the lucky symbol prize list.
There are two important rules to follow:
- Claiming the prize is mandatory: Once you've collected three symbols and won a prize, you must claim it. Until the prize is claimed, you cannot draw any new tickets.
- Re-rolling is possible: If you're not happy with the prize and have three symbols, you can re-roll. This costs 7 DR per attempt and can be repeated as many times as you're willing to invest 7 DR per attempt.
Your re-rolling strategy depends on how valuable the possible top prizes are compared to the DR costs. If you're aiming for a rare top prize, you'll need to factor this in.
Daily Prizes – Your Daily Bonus Incentive
In addition to regular ticket prizes and the lucky symbol system, the Summer Raffle offers daily rotating daily prizes. The exact contents of the daily prizes vary and are displayed in the in-game Item Shop on a daily basis. If you participate actively every day, you'll maximise your winning chances throughout the entire event period.
Summer Raffle in the Context of Metin2 Events
According to the official event systems wiki, the raffle is classified as an Item Shop action – an event based on the Item Shop that differs from regular gameplay. It runs parallel to annually recurring events such as the Summer Event and other seasonal activities. The Event UI, accessed via the "E" key in-game, displays all active events across servers – it's worth checking daily.
For players participating in multiple events simultaneously, note that the raffle runs completely independently of other event systems such as dungeons or mini-games. It doesn't use quest slots and is handled in just a few clicks.
Tips for Maximum Rewards
- Clarify requirements early: If you're not yet level 30 or haven't completed the Biologist Quest, you should do so before the event starts – otherwise you'll miss out on 7 free tickets.
- Buy tickets the day before: The early purchase option for the next day is always cheaper. Check daily whether it makes sense to buy.
- Note the day change: The new raffle day starts at 04:00. If you play shortly after midnight, you're still in the old day.
- Claim prize immediately: Collected three symbols? Claim the prize straight away so drawing doesn't get blocked.
- Plan re-rolling with DR budget: 7 DR per re-roll attempt adds up quickly. Only re-roll if a specific target item justifies the effort.
- Log in daily: The free ticket expires if you don't claim it daily. Not much time required – but consistent logins pay off.
