The Summer Raffle 2024 is a seasonal event system in Metin2, accessible exclusively through the in-game Item Shop. Every drawn ticket guarantees a prize – either an item that goes directly to your Item Shop storage, or a lucky symbol that counts towards special bonus prizes. Players level 30 and above who have completed the correct quest receive a free ticket daily. Those under level 30 can earn the free ticket by consistently purchasing tickets every day.
Participation Requirements: Who Can Join?
Basically, any account can participate in the Summer Raffle – however, there are different paths to the daily free ticket depending on your character's level.
Option 1: Level 30 and Above with Quest
If you've reached at least level 30 and completed the quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)", you'll automatically receive a free ticket daily from the first event day. Important: This quest must be completed before the raffle starts, otherwise you forfeit your claim to the daily free ticket.
Option 2: Below Level 30 – 7-Day Rule
Players below level 30 can still benefit from the raffle. The condition: You must purchase at least one ticket per day for 7 consecutive days. From the 8th day onwards, this account will also receive a free ticket daily. If you skip a day, the counter resets.
Opening the Raffle: How to Access the Draw
The Summer Raffle is exclusively in-game. There is no access via website or external tools. You open the raffle window through the Item Shop within the game. Alternatively, events can be accessed via the Event UI (Press E or click the E icon next to the mini-map) and navigated directly.
Important timing rule: A new raffle day begins at 04:00. If you draw tickets shortly before midnight, note that your daily allowance resets early in the morning – not at 00:00.
Ticket Costs: What Does Participation Cost?
In addition to the daily free ticket, players can purchase a certain number of additional tickets per day using Dragon Coins (DC). There are two purchase timings:
- Pre-sale: The five tickets for the next day can be purchased one day early at a discounted price.
- Regular Purchase: Tickets for the current day at standard price.
After purchasing the first 5 tickets, 4 additional tickets are available for purchase daily. These cost:
| Ticket No. | Cost (DC) |
|---|---|
| 1st additional ticket | 59 DC |
| 2nd additional ticket | 68 DC |
| 3rd additional ticket | 81 DC |
| 4th additional ticket | 81 DC |
Possible Prizes: What's in the Tickets?
Every ticket guarantees a prize. The result either goes directly to your Item Shop storage or you receive a lucky symbol for the special prize round. The overall prize pool of the Summer Raffle 2024 includes numerous items in various quantities – including items distributed in quantities like 2x, 5x, 6h (time-limited), 10x, 15x, 50x or even 500x. The exact item names are displayed in-game in the raffle window.
Prizes can be roughly divided into three categories:
- Common Prizes (e.g. 50x or 500x quantities): Consumable materials and everyday items
- Mid-tier Prizes (e.g. 10x–15x quantities): Useful event or boost items
- Rare Prizes (e.g. 2x or single items): Valuable equipment or exclusive event items
Additionally, there are daily rotating daily prizes and the chance to win special prizes through lucky symbols.
Lucky Symbols: The Raffle's Bonus System
When you draw a lucky symbol, you collect it. Once you've accumulated three lucky symbols, the system unlocks a special prize – depending on the point total of the three symbols.
Important rules for lucky symbols:
- The special prize must be actively claimed. If you don't do this, you can't claim any more tickets – the system blocks your progress.
- If you're unhappy with your special prize, you can re-roll for 6 Dragon Coins. This can be repeated as many times as you like.
- The higher the point total of the three symbols, the better the possible prize.
The lucky symbol system rewards not only luck with individual tickets, but also offers a second prize tier that can be influenced with some strategy (re-rolling for poor results).
Daily Prizes: Daily Bonus Rewards
In addition to regular ticket prizes and lucky symbol rewards, there are daily prizes that change every day. Which items are available on which day is displayed in-game on the raffle screen. Daily prizes thus provide additional incentive to visit the raffle regularly and not miss out.
Tips for Efficient Raffle Participation
To make sure no potential is wasted, here are the most important practical tips:
- Complete Quest in Advance: If you're level 30, definitely complete the biology quest (Orc Fang) before the event starts – otherwise no free ticket.
- Use Pre-sale: The five tickets for the next day are cheaper in the pre-sale. Those who buy daily save measurable Dragon Coins over the event's duration.
- Mind the Time: The day begins at 04:00. If you play late at night, you should know when the day ends to avoid wasting your daily allowance.
- Claim Lucky Symbols Immediately: With three symbols, definitely claim the prize before drawing more tickets – otherwise the raffle is locked.
- Weigh Re-rolling: 6 DC for a new roll can be worth it if your current lucky symbol prize is very weak. With good symbols, better cash in instead.
- Players Under 30: Consistency pays off – buy at least one ticket per day for seven consecutive days, and from day 8 secure your free ticket.
Classification: The Raffle in the Metin2 Event System
According to the official Metin2 Event System, the Summer Raffle belongs to the category of Item Shop promotions – along with the Advent Calendar. It is thus clearly separated from the free-to-play yearly events such as the Summer Event, even though it coincides seasonally.
As a temporary system, the raffle is only active during the defined event period. Current event dates are displayed in the Event UI. If you miss the event, you won't get another chance at the exclusive raffle items until the next edition.
