Crafting
In Cards and Castles, it is possible to acquire new cards by crafting them. A player can craft any card from the currently active expansions with shards, a currency used exclusively for this purpose.
Disenchanting[edit | edit source]
Players can acquire more shards by disenchanting their cards. They can either manually choose which cards they want disenchanted, by pressing on the "Crafting" button and then clicking the card, or they can simply press "Clean Up" to have all extra copies removed from their collection. It is not possible to disenchant starter cards.
Before patch 3.2, the game used Card Points as its main crafting currency, as well as for acquiring new packs. After the patch, Card Points are now used exclusively to buy packs and shards to craft cards.
Values[edit | edit source]
Cards of different rarities will cost different amounts to craft, and will reward different amount of shards when being disenchanted. The foil version of a card costs around four times as much to create as its common counterpart, and is the only kind of starter card that can be either crafted or disenchanted. A basic foil card rewards as much shards as a common card.
| Rarity | Disenchanting | Crafting (Foil) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic* | 5 | 200 |
| Common | 5 | 40 (200) |
| Rare | 20 | 100 (400) |
| Epic | 100 | 400 (800) |
| Legendary | 250 | 800 (1600) |
*Values only for foils.
