Rarities
Rarity is ANIMINT's core language. Every card sits on a five-tier ladder, with two special classes — time-limited Limited drops and community-made Creator cards — ranking above the standard top tier.
The rarity ladder
| Tier | Feel | How you get it | Sell value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | The backbone of every collection | Frequent expedition finds | 10 berries |
| Rare | A welcome step up | Expeditions, forging | 30 berries |
| Epic | Genuinely exciting | Better gear, forging | 80 berries |
| Legendary | Holographic and prestigious | Trophy rolls, high-tier forging | 220 berries |
| Mythic | The top of the ladder | Rare trophy rolls only — never forged | 660 berries |
| Limited | Time-boxed, supply-capped | Manual hunts during a drop window | Sellable |
| Creator | Community-made, animated | Made by Animint Pro creators | 150 berries |
Rarity is three layers, never just colour
A tier is signalled three ways at once, so it reads even for colour-blind players or at a glance:
- ▸Frame & border colour identify the tier instantly.
- ▸Glow intensity scales with rarity on hover and at reveal.
- ▸Reveal motion gets richer the rarer the card — Mythic and Creator get the biggest burst.
Limited — time-boxed drops
Limited cards are special, supply-capped mints that only appear during a drop window, and only from active manual hunting. They wear a distinct cyan frame and rank just beneath Creator — rarer than Mythic. Once a drop's supply is minted, that's it.
Creator — the premium class
Creator cards are animated pixel-art pieces submitted by Animint Pro members and approved by moderators. They always carry a gold, animated frame and a Creator badge, and they enter the same Collection and rarity system as official art. Chapter 12 covers how they're made.
