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

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.

Each card in a Standard Draw has the following probability by tier:
T0: 1.0%

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.
What competition will my card be eligible for?
Your card’s eligibility will depend on the core competitions you won Essence from – Champion, Challenger, Contender, U23, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Premier League, Ligue 1, Jupiler Pro League, and Eredivisie.
If you won 70% of your Essence from LaLiga and 30% from the Ligue 1 competition, you will have a 70% chance of crafting a card eligible for the LaLiga competition and a 30% chance of crafting a card eligible for the Ligue 1 competition.
