The World Cup Raffle 2014 is a limited-time in-game event in Metin2 where players can purchase tickets daily or receive free tickets. Every ticket guarantees a prize – either an item that goes directly to the item shop storage, or a lucky symbol. The event is exclusively accessible via the in-game item shop and is aimed at players from level 30, but also offers access routes for lower levels.
Who can participate? – Participation requirements
Basically, the World Cup Raffle 2014 is accessible to every account. However, different conditions apply depending on player progression for obtaining free tickets:
| Condition | Requirement | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Free ticket daily (Option 1) | At least level 30 + Quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" completed before 11.06.2014 | Daily free ticket immediately |
| Free ticket daily (Option 2) | Below level 30, but purchased at least 1 ticket per day for 7 consecutive days | From day 8 onwards, one daily free ticket |
| Additional tickets | No minimum level required | Possible to purchase tickets for DM |
Anyone who completed the Biologist's Quest in time and reached level 30 immediately benefits from the daily free ticket – without waiting or additional costs. Everyone else needs to be patient for a week and purchase at least one ticket daily.
How does the raffle work? – Basic mechanics
You open the raffle exclusively in-game via the item shop. There is no external access via the website or the event UI directly – the event falls under the category of item shop promotions within Metin2 Event Systems.
An important note about the daily structure: A new raffle day begins at 04:00. If you purchase your tickets shortly before midnight, you should keep this time in mind. Additionally, tickets for the next day can be purchased one day earlier – and at a cheaper price. A maximum of five tickets can be secured in advance this way.
After these first five tickets, four additional tickets can be purchased per day. The costs for these are 45, 51 and twice 69 DM.
Ticket costs at a glance
| Ticket number (Additional) | Cost in DM | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1st additional ticket | 45 DM | Purchasable after the first 5 tickets |
| 2nd additional ticket | 51 DM | Purchasable after the first 5 tickets |
| 3rd additional ticket | 69 DM | Purchasable after the first 5 tickets |
| 4th additional ticket | 69 DM | Purchasable after the first 5 tickets |
| Pre-booking (up to 5 tickets) | Discounted | Purchasable one day earlier, cheaper than on the promotion day |
Tip: If you participate regularly, you should use the pre-booking option – the reduced prices for the next day's tickets save a noticeable amount of DM over the event period.
What can you win? – Tickets and prizes
Every drawn ticket brings a guaranteed win. There are two types of prizes:
- Item prize: The won item is automatically placed in the item shop storage of your account. No manual pickup required.
- Lucky symbol: Instead of a direct item, you receive a lucky symbol that can be collected.
The Blue Ticket – Special chance
When drawing, a Blue Ticket can randomly appear. This special ticket appears randomly and brings three advantages at once:
- You receive a lucky symbol.
- You receive an additional direct prize.
- Your chance for the daily prize is doubled.
The Blue Ticket is thus the most valuable single result when drawing tickets. Since it appears purely by chance, it cannot be triggered deliberately – but it does reward active participants who draw tickets daily.
Lucky symbols – Collecting and claiming
Lucky symbols are a central part of the World Cup Raffle 2014. If you have collected three lucky symbols, you receive a corresponding prize depending on the points total achieved.
Important: The prize must be claimed before new tickets can be drawn. If you forget to do this, you lock yourself out of continuing with the raffle. Claiming is therefore not optional, but a requirement to continue playing.
Re-roll with three symbols
If you are not satisfied with your current result from three lucky symbols, you have the option to re-roll. This costs 5 DR each time and can be repeated as often as you like – as long as you are willing to pay the cost. This allows you to aim for better prize combinations, but without a guarantee of a better result.

Daily prizes – Daily special rewards
In addition to regular ticket wins, the World Cup Raffle 2014 features daily prizes. These rotate daily and can be won by drawing tickets – the Blue Ticket doubles the corresponding winning chance, as already mentioned. Detailed information about the individual daily prizes and their exact contents can be viewed directly in the in-game item shop.
Strategic tips for participation
The World Cup Raffle 2014 rewards consistent daily participation. Anyone who draws at least one ticket every day benefits the most in the long run – either through the free ticket (from level 30 with quest) or by building up the 7-day streak for the alternative free ticket.
- Daily routine: Always draw tickets shortly after 04:00 to fully utilise the new raffle day.
- Use pre-booking: Purchase the five tickets for the next day one day earlier at a cheaper price.
- Claim lucky symbols immediately: Do not hesitate when you have collected three symbols – otherwise no further tickets are possible.
- Do not ignore the Blue Ticket: Use it immediately when it appears, as it automatically combines three advantages.
- Consider re-rolling: 5 DR per roll attempt can add up. Only re-roll if your current lucky symbol prize is significantly below your expectations.

Frequently asked questions about the World Cup Raffle 2014
Do I need to be level 30 to participate in the World Cup Raffle 2014?
No, basically anyone can participate. However, only players from level 30 who completed the quest "The Biologist's Research (Orc Fang)" before 11.06.2014 receive an immediate daily free ticket. Players below level 30 can also receive free tickets, but they must purchase at least one ticket per day for 7 consecutive days – from day 8 onwards they then receive a daily free ticket.
Where do I open the World Cup Raffle in Metin2?
The raffle can only be opened in-game via the item shop. There is no external access via the website or the event UI.
When does a new raffle day begin?
A new day for the raffle begins daily at 04:00. Tickets purchased after this time count for the new day.
What is a Blue Ticket and how do you get it?
A Blue Ticket appears randomly when drawing a regular ticket. It cannot be triggered deliberately. It brings a lucky symbol, a direct prize and doubles the chance for the daily prize at the same time.
What happens if I have three lucky symbols but don't claim the prize?
As long as the prize for three collected lucky symbols is not claimed, no further tickets can be drawn. Claiming is therefore mandatory in order to continue playing.
Can I re-roll for the lucky symbol prize?
Yes. Once you have collected three lucky symbols, you have the option to re-roll for 5 DR. This can be repeated as many times as you like, without a guarantee of a better result.
How many tickets can I purchase per day?
After the first five tickets (which can already be pre-booked the day before at a cheaper price), four more tickets can be purchased per day. These cost 45, 51 and twice 69 DM.
Where do my won items go?
Items won when drawing tickets are automatically placed in the item shop storage of your account. No manual pickup or separate action is required.
