Metin2 Dragon Stone Alchemy: Rules for Reaching Mythic +6
This guide covers the documented Dragon Stone Alchemy rules for Gameforge's version of Metin2.
System overview
Dragon Stone Alchemy has seven stone types: Onyx, Diamond, Ruby, Jade, Sapphire, Garnet and Amethyst. A character can equip two sets, each containing seven type-specific slots.
A stone has three independently improvable progression dimensions: class, clarity and level.
Class refinement
Class progresses in this order:
Rough → Cut → Rare → Antique → Legendary → Mythic
Every class upgrade requires two stones of the same class. If refinement fails, one stone of that class remains.
Clarity refinement
Clarity progresses in this order:
Matt → Clear → Flawless → Brilliant → Excellent
Every clarity upgrade requires two stones of the same clarity. If refinement fails, one stone of that clarity remains.
Level refinement
Level refinement requires one Dragon Stone and a Green, Blue or Pink Dragon Bean. A failed attempt either leaves the stone's level unchanged or reduces it by one.
The maximum level depends on clarity:
| Clarity | Maximum level |
|---|---:|
| Matt | +4 |
| Clear | +4 |
| Flawless | +4 |
| Brilliant | +5 |
| Excellent | +6 |
Because class, clarity and level are separate properties, a Mythic +6 stone must have Mythic class and Excellent clarity.
Sets, activation and duration
Activating six or more stones enables the Dragon Stone set effect. Although two sets can be equipped, they cannot both be active simultaneously.
Every Dragon Stone has a 24-hour duration. Its remaining time decreases while its set is active.
Extending duration
Tongs of Time can be applied to an unused Dragon Stone. The stone is consumed, and the extraction can fail. A successful extraction produces a Time Elixir with a percentage from 5% to 100%, depending on the donor stone's class. For example, a 50% elixir adds 12 hours to a stone with a 24-hour duration. Time Elixirs expire 24 hours after they are received.
Removing an equipped stone
Right-clicking an equipped stone attempts to remove it. Success returns the stone to the Dragon Stone inventory, while failure produces a Dragon Stone Shard. Dragon Tongs improve the removal chance, and Dragon Tongs+ guarantee successful removal.
Changing Mythic bonuses
The Alchemist can change the bonuses of a Mythic Dragon Stone using Flame of the Dragon or Flame of the Dragon (B). The two flame versions cannot be mixed in one refinement.
| Clarity | Required flames |
|---|---:|
| Matt | 1 |
| Clear | 3 |
| Flawless | 9 |
| Brilliant | 27 |
| Excellent | 81 |
Changing the bonuses of a Mythic Excellent stone requires 81 flames of one version.
Planning summary
To produce a Mythic +6 stone, class must reach Mythic, clarity must reach Excellent and level must reach +6. The three refinement systems use different inputs and have different failure outcomes.
