Additionally, for every 200,000 CRATEs distributed, there will be an additional equipment piece airdropped.

|-|-|-|-|
|200,000|250|Helm|0.4%|
|400,000|275|Cloak|0.36%|

## Sockets

Equipment may contain up to 4 sockets depending on rarity.

- Commons start with 0 sockets and may add 1 socket total
- Rares start with 0 sockets and may add 2 sockets total
- Epics start with 1 socket and may add 2 more sockets for 3 total
- Legendaries start with 1 socket and may add 3 more sockets for 4 total
- Adding sockets to equipment costs Electrum, an in-game resource that can only be obtained through battle or burning cards.

You may attempt to add a socket to an item without enough Electrum, but if you fail, you will lose your Electrum.  Eg. Using 100 Electrum to attempt to add a socket to a rare item would be a 20% chance (100 supplied / 500 required).

**Electrum Cost to Add Sockets**


||1st|2nd|3rd|4th|
|-|-|-|-|-|
|Common|300|X|X|X|
|Rare|500|2,500|X|X|
|Epic|FREE|5,000|25,000|X|
|Legendary|FREE|12,500|62,500| 500,000|

#### Card Destruction

Cards may be burned in 4 different ways:

1 - Burn cards for base value in Forgium (FORGE)
- Common - 10 FORGE
- Rare - 25 FORGE
- Epic - 100 FORGE
- Legendary – 500 FORGE

2 - Burn cards for burn value x10 in Electrum
- Electrum is an in-game only currency used to add sockets to equipment

3 - ReForge cards into a random piece of equipment of higher rarity

**Update: new re-forge numbers revised as of 12/05/2023**

- 4 common BCX plus **150** Forgium to reforge 1 random RARE card
- 6 rare BCX plus **500** Forgium to reforge 1 random EPIC card
- 8 epic BCX plus **2500** Forgium to reforge 1 random LEGENDARY card
- Leveled equipment can be reforged for their BCX (base card multiplier) value, ie. A max level common has 120 BCX and could be reforged into 30 rares (120 BCX divided by 4 BCX per reforged rare).  This would also cost 30x the base Forgium fee.

4 - Combine cards to increase the level as set out in the charts above.

#### FOIL

Foil versions of cards can only be obtained through ReForging, each reforged card has a 10% chance to become a GOLD FOIL.

Using a hero in battle that has equipped a GOLD FOIL card will grant a tiered bonus based on rarity to FORGE rewards in boss battles.

- Rare GOLD FOIL applies an 8% bonus.
- Epic GOLD FOIL applies a 12% bonus.
- Legendary GOLD FOIL applies a 16% bonus.

GOLD FOIL cards can only combine with other GOLD FOIL cards and have an easier leveling curve.

Combine requirements for card levels for gold foil.

|Level|Rare|Epic|Legendary|
|-|-|-|-|
|1|1|1|1|
|2|6|3|2|
|3|12|6|3|
|4|24|12|4|
