The kinds of pack
- Daily Offering (free): 24 hours between one and the next, stores up to 2 packs and a new account already starts with 2 ready. It brings 1 card, always uncommon or better, with its own, much tighter odds than the Traveler's Pack (see the table): a rare shows up rarely.
- Welcome Pack: a new account receives 3 to open in the first 7 days, with 5 cards, common and uncommon only (uncommon monsters have ATK up to 1,700). Rares and better are earned by dueling. To prevent abuse, only the first 3 accounts per network per day (and one per device) receive these packs.
- Traveler's Pack: costs 1,500 gold, with 5 cards.
- Reliquaries (gem packs): Bronze for 100 gems, Silver for 250 gems and Gold for 600 gems, all with 5 cards.
- Themed packs: only cards from one mythology. When you buy a Reliquary you pick a mythology in “Pack theme” (or “All”), for the same price. There are also reward versions (in the Crossing, for example); the free pack and the welcome pack are never themed.
The odds
The odds below are per card. The game shows each pack's real odds on its own screen; when the pack is themed, they are recalculated only over the rarities that exist in that mythology.
| Pack | Price | Cards | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Offering | free | 1 | 64% | 33.02% | 2.8% | 0.15% | 0.03% |
| Welcome Pack | free | 5 | 70% | 30% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| Traveler's Pack | 1,500 gold | 5 | 63.71% | 29% | 7% | 0.24% | 0.05% |
| Bronze Reliquary | 100 gems | 5 | 61.9% | 29% | 8% | 1% | 0.1% |
| Silver Reliquary | 250 gems | 5 | 48.6% | 33% | 15% | 3% | 0.4% |
| Golden Reliquary | 600 gems | 5 | 33% | 35% | 25% | 6% | 1% |
The last card
In the free, welcome and gem packs (Reliquaries), the last card is never common: the game uses the odds without the common, readjusted. The Traveler's Pack (and the reward packs, which use the same odds) has no such rule: all 5 cards use the same table, so the last one can be common too. Only 620 of the 720 cards can come from a pack: fusion-only cards, ritual monsters and 1/1 cards are left out.
Guarantees
| Pack | Guarantee |
|---|---|
| Bronze Reliquary | An epic on the 15th purchase in a row without one |
| Silver Reliquary | An epic on the 15th purchase in a row without one |
| Golden Reliquary | An epic on the 15th purchase without one and a legendary on the 25th without one |
| Daily Offering · Welcome Pack · Traveler's Pack | No guarantee |
The guarantee counts purchases in a row: if the 15th purchase in a row of a Reliquary did not bring an epic, one comes. In the Golden Reliquary, a legendary comes on the 25th purchase in a row without a legendary, and, if both guarantees coincide, the legendary takes priority. Free, welcome and Traveler's packs have no guarantee.
Rules by country
Gem packs are sold in every country where purchases are open (today purchases are still closed in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland). In the Netherlands, cards from paid packs can never be traded. Anyone who prefers to see the card before buying uses the Showcase (Showcase, dust and trades).
The opening
When you open a pack you see the sealed pack, open it and the cards are revealed.
