Essence Crafting & Card Factory

Crafting Flow

To craft a card, spend 1,000 Essence to receive a draw of 10 face-down cards. You choose one to keep. After making your choice, the remaining 9 cards are revealed, so you can see what you missed.

If you’re not satisfied with your pick, you can return the selected card for a partial Essence refund. Exact refund amounts will be shared closer to the launch of the new crafting system.

 

Draw Types & Odds

When you craft, there's a 75% chance of a Standard Draw and a 25% chance of a Special Draw, which offers better odds for top-tier cards. You'll know immediately which type you’ve received.

Draw Type Breakdown:

• 75% — Standard Draw

  • Cards follow standard tier distribution

• 15% — Special Draw: T2+

  • All 10 cards are guaranteed Tier 2 or better

• 9.9% — Special Draw: Aim for the Star

  • At least one Tier 0 card guaranteed

• 0.1% — Special Draw: Full Star

  • All 10 cards are Tier 1 or better

These odds are part of the new season launch and may be adjusted later. Temporary boosts or new types of Special Draws may also be introduced throughout the season.

Card Tier Odds (Standard Draw)

Each card in a Standard Draw has the following probability by tier:

• T0: 1.0%

• T1: 2.0%

• T2: 4.0%

• T3: 20.0%

• T4: 30.0%

• T5: 43.0%

These translate into the following draw-level probabilities (chance your draw contains at least one card of the listed tier):

Crafting Clues

You can now spend additional Essence to reveal information about the cards in your draw before making your selection.

Temporary promo pricing (launch period):

• Standard Draw:

  • League Reveal – 500 Essence

  • Nationality (Flag) Reveal – 500 Essence

• Special Draw:

  • League Reveal – 1,000 Essence

  • Nationality Reveal – 1,000 Essence

More types of clues will be introduced later. All clue pricing is temporary and will be confirmed after the season begins.

Essence Rules

Essence still inherits the “flavor” of the competition it was earned from. This affects the pool of players you can get when crafting. However, Crafting Clues gives you more control over which card to pick.

Currently, there is no limit to how much Essence you can hold. Sorare will monitor usage and may introduce limits in the future if necessary.

Card Factory Timeline

Starting July 25, you’ll be able to craft cards from each league on the same day its first Game Week locks (after 4 PM CET). Sorare will publish the full crafting calendar aligned with league starts.
