Collecting cards and the card market

Cards are split across the index, Pull, My collection and Registered cards. The index lists every card registered so far, Pull is where you get new ones, My collection holds the cards you own, and Registered cards shows the ones you created. Buying and selling happens in the card auctions on the market.

The pull price is not fixed. It rises as more cards stay in circulation relative to the number of card types, and falls when new cards are registered or when people dismantle cards. The price moves only between an upper and a lower bound, and an active sale takes another cut off that value.

• One free pull a day. It opens again at midnight Korean time
• The ten-card pull has no free slot — the free pull only applies to a single pull, and a ten-card pull charges ten times the current single price
• Rarity odds and the supply cap per rarity are published in the odds panel on the pull screen

Once you confirm a pull the points are spent immediately and it cannot be undone. There is no cancellation or refund, whatever you get.

There are four rarities: normal, rare, epic and legendary. For a streamer card the rarity comes from the market cap of that channel's stock, while the share price only caps it from above so it cannot spike. That is why the "if you pulled it now" rarity shown in the index moves with the market. Cards that are not streamer cards (items, memes, pets and group cards) carry a rarity that was set from the start and does not follow the market.

The rarity of a card you already pulled is fixed at that moment. Later market swings never change the rarity or the stats of the copy in your hands.

• For each card, every rarity has a limit on how many copies can exist at once. When those places are full, the card is issued one step lower. The lowest rarity has no limit, so a pull never comes back empty
• Even when a legendary candidate comes up, only the channel's top shareholders get a chance at it; if it does not pass, the card drops to epic
• The epithet in front of a card is rolled separately for every copy

Higher rarities carry more effect slots. The lowest rarity has none, and each step up adds one. Every slot rolls one effect, and when the elements of those effects match a recipe they merge into a stronger one. The very top tier of effects only appears through merging. A card's finish (plain, foil, holo, glitter, prism) comes from the highest tier among its effects. Effects and elements belong to the individual copy rather than the card type, so the same card differs on every pull.

My collection groups identical cards together. Expand a stack to compare how each copy differs in rarity, effects, serial and pull date, and sort by newest or by rarity.

• Dismantling only burns duplicates. The last copy of a card is always kept
• The refund comes from the card's rarity and the current pull price — when the pull price moves, the refund moves with it
• Cards placed in a battle deck or listed in an auction cannot be dismantled
• The serial number of a dismantled card opens up again and goes to whoever pulls that card later

A dismantled card cannot be brought back. Dismantling a whole stack at once keeps only the rarest copy and removes the rest, so expand the stack and pick by hand if any copy matters to you.

Only the owner of a channel can create that channel's streamer card. Registering hands the creator one copy right away — the lowest available serial, which is #1 for a brand new card. Its rarity is decided by the same rule as a pull, using the market at the moment of registration.

1. 1Choose the channel of your own that the card is for
2. 2Upload the image for the card
3. 3Set the card name and species, and optionally a description and a layout
4. 4Confirm that you hold the rights to use that image, then register

• There is a cap on how many cards you can register per day (Korean time). That one reopens the next day
• How many cards a channel can keep depends on that channel's boost level — if there is no room, raise the boost or take one of the existing cards down
• Cards you have taken down stay free of the quota up to a point, but past that they count against the total. Taking more down will not help then; only a higher boost level raises the total
• After registering you can change only the description and the layout. The image, name and species are fixed
• A channel owner can opt out of appearing on cards altogether. Once opted out, no new card can be made for that channel

Deleting a card removes it from the public index and from pulls, and it cannot be put back. Opting a channel out of cards takes its existing cards down the same way, and allowing cards again later does not bring them back. Copies already issued to other people stay with them.

You can sell cards you own in the card auctions on the market. The seller sets a starting price and a minimum bid increment, and may add a buyout price. The buyout price has to be above the starting price, and the auction length can only be set within an allowed range.

The listing fee is charged the moment you list. It is not returned if you cancel or if the auction ends with no bids. When a card sells, the seller receives the winning price minus the selling fee.

• A bid is charged straight away. If someone outbids you, your bid is refunded and you are notified
• Buyers pay nothing beyond their bid
• You cannot bid on your own auction, and an auction cannot be cancelled once it has any bid
• A card in a battle deck cannot be listed, and a listed card cannot be dismantled

Your own trades can be filtered into selling, sold, bidding, bought and lost. Turn on price alerts for an auction you care about and you will hear when the price moves.
