Metin2 December 2017 Tombola – Event Guide

The Metin2 December 2017 Tombola is a temporary IS action (Itemshop action) accessible exclusively in-game via the Item Shop. Every account can participate – players aged level 30+ who have completed the quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" before the event starts receive a free ticket daily. Those who don't meet these conditions can earn the free ticket another way: by purchasing at least one ticket per day for 7 consecutive days – from day 8 onwards, you'll also receive a free ticket daily.

Participation Requirements at a Glance

The Tombola is essentially open to every account, but the path to a daily free ticket differs depending on your progress:

Important: The Tombola is only accessible via the Item Shop. The event UI, which came with update 19.1, displays active events on servers and channels – however, you open the Tombola itself directly from the Item Shop menu.

Daily Schedule and Ticket Costs

A new Tombola day begins daily at 04:00. All daily limits, free tickets and purchase options are based on this schedule.

In addition to the daily free ticket, you can purchase a limited number of tickets per day using Dragonstones (DM). There's an early-bird advantage: the five tickets for the next day can be purchased one day in advance – at a discounted price.

After the first five tickets of the day, you can purchase a further 4 tickets on the same day. Costs are tiered as follows:

What Do You Win With a Ticket?

Every ticket guarantees a prize – there are no blanks. The reward is either:

• An item that is automatically placed in your Itemshop inventory, or
• a lucky symbol used for the lucky symbol system.

The specific prize tables (possible ticket rewards and daily prizes) are displayed directly in the Tombola interface in-game and vary by event day.

Golden Tickets – Special Chance with Double Benefit

When drawing a ticket, you have the chance to randomly obtain a Golden Ticket. These appear at random and bring three benefits at once:

1. You receive a lucky symbol.
2. You receive an additional regular prize.
3. Your chance at the daily prize doubles.

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 Fate. This makes regular ticket purchases interesting beyond direct prizes.

The Lucky Symbol System

Beyond direct ticket prizes, there's the lucky symbol system as a second prize tier. Once you've collected three lucky symbols, a corresponding prize is determined based on the point total of the symbols.

This prize must be actively claimed – as long as it hasn't been claimed, no new tickets can be submitted. The system blocks further progress until the prize is collected.

If you're not satisfied with the determined prize, you can re-roll the three symbols. However, this costs 5 DC (Dragoncoins) per attempt. This re-roll is repeatable as often as you wish – as long as you're willing to pay the cost.

Tombola in the Context of Metin2 Event Systems

The December 2017 Tombola belongs to the category of IS actions within Metin2's event systems. In addition to the Tombola, the Advent Calendar also falls into this category. Event systems are temporary gameplay mechanics that are only active during special action periods.

Regular annual events in Metin2 include the Christmas Event, the Halloween Event and the Summer Event. The Tombola is a standalone format that runs independently of these thematic events and is more focused on the Itemshop.

The Event UI, accessible via the E key or the E symbol next to the mini-map, provides an overview of all active events on servers and channels. For the Tombola itself, however, you need to navigate directly to the Item Shop.

Tips for December 2017 Tombola

• Complete the quest beforehand: If you haven't finished the quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" yet, you should do so before the event starts – otherwise you'll miss the free daily ticket for the first 7 days.
• Use early-bird purchases: The five tickets for the next day are cheaper when purchased a day early. Players who participate daily will save DM in the long run.
• Collect golden tickets: Don't exchange golden tickets immediately – collect 5 first, then exchange for Wheel of Fate spins.
• Claim your lucky symbol prize: After collecting three lucky symbols, definitely claim your prize before drawing further tickets – otherwise the system is blocked.
• Weigh re-rolls carefully: Re-rolling lucky symbols costs 5 DC per attempt. Only worthwhile if the current prize is significantly below your target value.
• Watch for the 04:00 reset: Daily tickets and free tickets refresh at 04:00 – not at midnight. This is especially important for late evening sessions.
