Metin2 December 2014 Raffle – Event Guide

The December 2014 Raffle is a temporary event system in Metin2 that is accessible exclusively through the in-game item shop. Basically, any account can participate, although the conditions for obtaining free tickets differ depending on level. Every drawn ticket guarantees a prize – either an item directly to the item shop storage or a lucky symbol that can be collected and exchanged for further prizes.

Participation Requirements: Who Can Join?

Basically, any account can participate in the raffle. However, there are two different ways to get the coveted daily free ticket:

• Method 1 – Level 30+ with Quest: Anyone who has reached at least level 30 and completed the quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" before 26 November 2014 receives an automatic daily free ticket.
• Method 2 – Under Level 30 or Without Quest: Those who don't meet these requirements can still participate. To do so, you must buy at least one ticket per day for 7 consecutive days. From day 8 onwards, you will also receive one daily free ticket.

Neither method is excluded from the start – the second method simply requires a bit more consistency and initial DM investment.

How Does the Raffle Work? Basic Mechanics Explained

The raffle can only be opened in-game via the item shop. It is part of the IS promotions, which along with the advent calendar, count among the seasonal event systems in Metin2.

Important for daily planning: A new raffle day begins at 04:00 AM each day. A limited number of purchasable tickets are available per day. In addition to the daily free ticket, further tickets can be purchased with DM (Dragon Marbles).

A handy feature: The tickets for the next day can already be purchased one day earlier and at a cheaper price. Those who plan ahead save real money here.

Ticket Costs at a Glance

After the first five tickets of a day, four more tickets can be purchased. The costs for these additional tickets are as follows:

In total, up to 5 regular tickets plus 4 more tickets are available per day – plus the daily free ticket for eligible players.

Guaranteed Prize: What's in Every Ticket?

A key feature of the raffle is the prize guarantee: Every ticket guarantees a prize. There are two possible prizes per ticket:

• Item: The won item is automatically placed in the item shop storage of the account. It can be retrieved from there at any time.
• Lucky Symbol: Instead of an item, you receive a lucky symbol that can be collected and exchanged for separate prizes (see Lucky Symbols section).

Which of the two prizes occurs depends on chance – but walking away empty-handed is not possible.

The Blue Ticket – Special Ticket with Triple Bonus

While drawing, there is a chance to randomly encounter a blue ticket. These do not appear on demand, but purely at random. A blue ticket brings three advantages at once:

1. You receive a lucky symbol.
2. You receive an additional regular prize.
3. The chance of winning the daily prize doubles.

Additionally, blue tickets can be collected. If you have collected 5 blue tickets, you can exchange them for one to three free spins on the Wheel of Fate. The Wheel of Fate is another game element that is linked to the raffle event.

Lucky Symbols: Collect, Redeem, Reroll

Lucky symbols are a separate collection system within the raffle. Once you have collected three lucky symbols, a corresponding prize is assigned based on the score achieved.

Important: The prize must be actively redeemed. If you don't do this, you can't draw any more tickets – the system blocks progress until the prize is claimed.

If you're not satisfied with the lucky symbol prize you received, you can reroll for a fee of 5 DM (Dragon Marbles). This rerolling is possible as many times as you want, as long as you're willing to pay the cost. This allows you to work towards a specific prize – if you have the necessary DM budget.

Classification: Raffle as Part of Metin2's Event Systems

The December 2014 Raffle belongs to the category of IS promotions within Metin2's event systems. Besides the raffle, the advent calendar also belongs there. Both events are temporary systems that are only active during special promotional periods.

The overarching event systems in Metin2 encompass a wide range – from annual events like the Christmas Event to mini-games, event dungeons, and game team events. The raffle is a purely item-shop-based format without direct in-game movement or combat – ideal for players who want to snag something quickly between sessions.

For those who want to keep track of current events, use the event UI, which came with update 19.1. This allows you to view all active events on all servers and channels – accessed via the "E" key to the left of the mini-map.

Tips for Efficient Raffle Use

• Buy Ahead: Purchase tickets for the next day one day early – this saves DM through the discount price.
• Secure Free Ticket: If you don't have a free ticket yet, start with daily purchases – after 7 days of consistency, you'll get a daily free ticket from day 8.
• Redeem Lucky Symbol Prize: Don't forget to claim your prize at 3 lucky symbols – otherwise ticket drawing is blocked.
• Keep Blue Tickets: 5 collected blue tickets give you 1–3 free spins on the Wheel of Fate – worth it!
• Consider Rerolling: Each reroll for lucky symbols costs 5 DM. With many attempts, this adds up quickly.
