Card drops ?

[🆉🅰🅸🅶]

Hello, I think this may be one of those noobs questions,but here it goes ..... How do I get more card drops,clicked the button that "explains it all", still dont get it.....it says Im eligible but yet again where are those funky card booster packs ?? Thanks in advance for answering .

"How can I earn more drops?
You are now eligible for a booster pack
Once you have received all of your card drops, you become eligible for a booster pack containing 3 additional cards. Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community. Make sure you log in to Steam each week to maintain eligibility."

"How can I get a booster pack?
Once you have received all of your card drops, you become eligible for a booster pack, which is a set of 3 trading cards that may include both basic and foil cards. Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community. Make sure you log in to Steam each week to maintain eligibility.

Once eligible, your Steam Level increases your rate of receiving a booster pack drop:
Level 10: +20% increase in your drop rate
Level 20: +40% increase in your drop rate
Level 30: +60% increase in your drop rate
Level 40: +80% increase in your drop rate
Level 50: +100% increase in your drop rate (i.e. the rate has doubled)
Etc."

So basically I randomly (could) receive a booster pack by just buying more cards and crafting badges ? But I have like 5 badge "upgrades" , so.....if I dont get the booster pack in that set time, I just crafted for nothing and the eligibility was worthless ? Nothing else is needed to get the booster pack !? Thankx

You can get a limited amount of card drops from a game once you start playing it. Usually it's about 3 drops but can be more. The more you play, the more drops you get until you exhaust your supply.

After that, there's a few ways you can get cards;
- The easiest way is to buy them from the Steam market. Most cards are pretty cheap, mostly just around 10¢. All cards are under the Steam category in the community market.

- If you spend around $5 in selected games, you get a card drop. I've only ever seen it in CS:GO.

- Booster packs gives you three random cards from the selected game with a very small chance of getting a foil card drop too. You can craft booster packs with Gems, or sometimes you may be dropped a booster pack, but this is rare. Gems can be bought on the market in sacks containing 1000 gems, or you can craft gems using cards you don't want.

Thanks, 5$ just for card drops to "probably" get 3 cards its utterly unproductive .. + most games have 5 badges to craft, if you spend like 5$ prbly you crafted those badges like 20 times

Getting booster packs depends on the amount of eligible games you have and your Steam level.
Basically, every time someone on Steam crafts a badge a booster pack for that game gets created and randomly distributed to a Steam user who is eligible for a booster drop for that game.

So you initial chance is something like 1 in millions to get that booster.
That gets raised by your Steam level, for every 10 levels your booster drop chance raises by.
But its a raise of the base drop chance so even that is not that much.
If your initial chance is something like 0.1% even with a +500% chance because of a high leven that would only be 0.6%.
Also the number of games you have as eligible raises the probabilty. If you have 100 chances (games) for a drop its of course more likely to get one then if you have only 1 chance (game).

As a example, with nearly 3000 eligible games and level 319 i get a booster pack drop about once or twice a week.
So the chances are pretty low overall.

I don't think you're comprehending the process.

Crafting the badge is not necessary to become eligible to receive a booster pack. You only need to get all of the card drops. Whenever a badge is crafted, it causes Steam to generate a booster pack for the badge and sends it off to randomly selected user from whomever is eligible to receive those booster packs. So you would depend on someone else crafting the badge and hope to be selected as the recipient of it.

Realistically, you shouldn't depend on the booster packs to complete badges. You *can* but it's certainly not a guarantee that you get one. They're more for those users who complete a badge to one level on their own either through trades or market purchases, and then some time in the future get the booster pack to help them complete a second level, or third, fourth, or fifth.
