Gameplay
The Forge
Melt duplicate collectibles into shards, then forge guaranteed new pieces by rarity tier. Animint Pro gets a discount.
The Forge is where duplicates become opportunity. Instead of leaving extra copies idle, you melt them down into shards, then spend those shards to forge a guaranteed collectible of a chosen rarity tier.
The Forge runs entirely on shards, not berries. Melting duplicates is the only way to get shards — see the Shards guide.
The forge flow
- 1Duplicates — extra copies pile up as you collect.
- 2Melt — break selected duplicates down into shards.
- 3Shards — your crafting currency, separate from berries.
- 4Forge — spend shards to mint a guaranteed collectible by rarity.
- 5Reveal — the new piece flips into view with a rarity burst.
Forge costs
| Forge a… | Shard cost | With Pro (−20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 100 | 80 |
| Uncommon | 200 | 160 |
| Rare | 500 | 400 |
| Epic | 1,000 | 800 |
| Mythic | 15,000 | 12,000 |
| Legendary | 25,000 | 20,000 |
Forge cost is set equal to a card's berry sell price — every tier is forgeable except Primordial, Limited and Creator/Custom, which are hand-placed, supply-capped, or hunt-only, so they never come from the Forge.
Melt strategically, not emotionally. Keep favorites and showcase pieces; feed the Forge with true surplus duplicates.
