Metin2 Raffle December 2021 – Event Guide

The Raffle December 2021 is a seasonal Item Shop action in Metin2, where players can draw daily free and paid tickets. Every ticket guarantees a prize – either an item straight to the Item Shop storage or a lucky symbol. Those who collect three lucky symbols can claim a daily prize. The event runs exclusively in-game via the Item Shop and is open to players of all levels, though Level 30+ accounts can participate in free tickets under simpler conditions.

Participation Requirements at a Glance

Basically, every account can participate in the Raffle. However, the exact requirements for the daily free ticket differ depending on character level and quest progress:

The quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" must be completed before the official Raffle start – if you complete it after, you fall under the 7-day rule. Players who haven't done the quest yet can still participate, but must buy at least one ticket daily for a week before the free ticket is activated.

Daily Rhythm and Access

The Raffle runs on a fixed daily schedule:

• A new day begins daily at 04:00.
• The Raffle is only accessible in-game via the Item Shop – no external access possible.
• Alternatively, you can access the event via the Event UI: press the key or click the "E" symbol to the left of the minimap, then click the event name.

A handy tip: Tickets for the next day can be purchased one day earlier – at a lower price. If you plan to use your full allocation daily, don't ignore this early-purchase advantage.

Ticket Costs and Purchase Limits

A limited number of paid tickets are available per day. In addition to the daily free ticket, you can purchase paid tickets using Dragon Coins (DC). After the first five tickets of the day, four more tickets can be purchased. These cost:

The costs increase with each additional ticket – the sixth ticket is comparatively affordable at 59 DC, whilst the eighth and ninth each cost 81 DC. If you draw all nine tickets daily (including the free ticket), factor this cost increase into your spending plan.

What Can Tickets Win?

Every ticket guarantees a prize. There are two prize categories:

• Items: The prize is automatically added to your Item Shop storage. You can collect it from there as usual.
• Lucky Symbols: Instead of a direct item, you receive a lucky symbol. These are collected and only redeemed when you have a combination of three symbols.

Which specific items can drop from tickets is viewable in-game via the Raffle overview. The range typically includes seasonal and useful items for game progression.

Lucky Symbols – Collecting and Redeeming

The lucky symbol system is the heart of the Raffle. Once you've collected three lucky symbols, a corresponding prize is unlocked based on the sum of the three symbols' points. The rules are:

• The prize must be actively redeemed. If you don't, you can't draw any more tickets – the system blocks itself until the prize is collected.
• If you're not satisfied with your three symbols, you can reroll. This costs 6 Dragon Coins per roll.
• Rerolling is possible as many times as you want – each reroll costs 6 DC again.

Important: The point sum of the three lucky symbols determines the prize. A higher sum leads to a better reward. If you spend 6 DC on a new roll, you're betting on getting a higher sum. This is an intentional DC expense that may or may not be worthwhile depending on your target prize.

Raffle as Item Shop Action – Classification in the Event System

The Raffle is classified in the Metin2 Event System under the so-called Item Shop actions – alongside the Advent Calendar. This category differs from regular events like the Christmas Event or mini-games in that it's directly tied to the Item Shop and functions primarily through DC purchases.

The Event UI, introduced with Update 19.1, displays all active events on all servers and channels. Clicking the event name in the UI opens the corresponding window directly – this also applies to the Raffle.

Tips for Efficient Raffle Usage

Based on the available mechanics, the following specific recommendations emerge:

• Complete the quest beforehand: If you're Level 30 and haven't done the Orc Fang quest yet, do it before the event starts. This eliminates the 7-day wait for the free ticket.
• Buy tickets the day before: The five tickets for the next day are available cheaper one day earlier. Always take advantage of this discount.
• Don't forget to redeem the prize: Once you have three lucky symbols, redeem the prize promptly – otherwise you can't draw any more tickets.
• Reroll with caution: 6 DC per roll adds up quickly. Only reroll if the target prize justifies the DC investment.
• Keep the daily reset in mind: The new day starts at 04:00 – not at midnight. If you play late in the evening, you can still buy that day and draw again right after 04:00.
• Below Level 30? Stay consistent: If you buy at least one ticket daily for seven consecutive days, you'll get the free ticket from day 8 onwards. Skipping a day breaks the count.
