# CRAFTING & MORPHING

{% hint style="info" %}
**Crafting** and **Morphing** are essential mechanics within **Mythical Beings**, designed to enhance the player experience by offering avenues for improving and diversifying card collections while maintaining a dynamic and engaging gameplay loop.
{% endhint %}

In *Mythical Beings*, **progression isn’t just about luck—it’s about strategy**. Through **Crafting and Morphing**, players have the power to **shape and refine their collections**, ensuring that every card holds potential value. Whether **upgrading lower-tier cards into rarer ones** or **swapping out duplicates for fresh additions**, these mechanics add an **interactive, strategic layer** to the collecting experience.

### **Crafting: The Path to Higher Rarity**

🔹 **How It Works:** Players can **combine multiple copies of the same card** to create a **higher rarity version**.

🔹 **Example:** **Five Common cards** of a single creature can be **crafted into a random Rare card**.

🔹 **GEM Cost:** Crafting **requires GEM**, the in-game currency, with the **amount varying based on the target rarity**.

Crafting is more than just an upgrade system—it’s a **key progression mechanic** that rewards players who **think strategically about their collection**. It allows players to:

✅ **Transform duplicates into valuable assets**.\
✅ **Progress without relying solely on luck or marketplace purchases**.\
✅ **Gradually build a stronger, rarer collection over time**.

This feature **incentivizes long-term engagement**, ensuring that **every duplicate card holds value as a stepping stone to something greater**.

### **Morphing: A Fresh Start for Your Collection**

🔹 **How It Works:** Players can **exchange an existing card** for another **random card of the same rarity**.

🔹 **Purpose:** This mechanic allows **collectors to refresh their collection**, removing **duplicates or unwanted cards** while maintaining **the same level of rarity**.

🔹 **Bonus Feature:** If the new card is **a duplicate of one already owned**, there’s **a small chance of receiving an extra bonus card**, adding an **element of surprise and excitement**.

Morphing is an **ideal tool for optimizing a collection**, offering benefits such as:

✅ **Diversifying cards without increasing rarity**.\
✅ **Swapping out less useful cards for potentially better ones**.\
✅ **Enhancing strategic play by securing more relevant cards for Battlegrounds or trading**.

By providing a **low-risk, high-reward way to refine collections**, Morphing ensures that **every player remains engaged, even when acquiring duplicates**.

Both **Crafting** and **Morphing** are integral to the game's **progression system**, as they allow players to adapt their collections to new challenges, refine their decks, and strategize based on available resources.

## **A Dynamic and Customizable Collection System**

🔹 **Morphing keeps collections fresh and adaptable**, ensuring that **every card has a role to play**.

These mechanics transform *Mythical Beings* into **more than just a collection game**—they make it an **ever-evolving, strategic adventure**, where **every decision shapes the player’s journey**.
