# About the Altar

In the game Altar, while sacrificing cards, the player receives an Essence from which he can create a hero of a higher rarity level.

## **Which cards can I burn and what can I get in return?** <a href="#id-411d" id="id-411d"></a>

You can burn Ordinary, Unusual and Rare cards to obtain Green, Blue and Purple essence accordingly.

*Good news*: now you don’t need to pay FUR for burning!

## **What’s the amount of Essence will I receive for burning a particular card?** <a href="#id-868e" id="id-868e"></a>

* An Ordinary card (1st level) will give you 100 Green Essence;
* An Unusual card (1st level) will give you 300 Blue Essence;
* A Rare card (1 level) will give you 200 purple essence.

## **How can I get more Essence?** <a href="#a96a" id="a96a"></a>

One more good news: the higher the level of the burnt card, the more Essence you will receive!

* **Ordinary cards**: each level gives +13% to the amount of Essence. Meaning that max. level will give 11 750 Green Essence;
* **Unusual cards**: each level gives +5% to the amount of Essence. Meaning that max. level will give 3 276 blue Essence;
* **Rare cards**: each level gives +2% to the amount of Essence. Meaning that max. level will give 643 Purple Essence.

## **How much does it cost to create a new card?** <a href="#e1cc" id="e1cc"></a>

In the Altar section you shall not only burn, but also create cards. In order to create you need appropriate Essence and some FUR.

* Unusual card: 3000 FUR and 1200 Ordinary (Green) Essence;
* Rare card: 20,000 FUR and 900 Unusual (Blue) Essence;
* Epic card: 80,000 FUR and 800 Rare (Purple) Essence.

## **What characteristics will the created card gain?** <a href="#f564" id="f564"></a>

You will receive a level 1 card with an x1.0 multiplier.\
The rest of the characteristics (race and ability) drop out randomly.

## **What is the formula for calculating the amount of Essence obtained?** <a href="#id-656d" id="id-656d"></a>

**E = Xr\*(1+ Ur)^(L-1),** where:

E — the amount of Essence received;\
Xr — the amount of Essence obtained while burning a card of 1 level of the appropriate rarity;\
Ur — the value (%) by which the amount of Essence obtained increases for each level of the burned card (depending on its rarity);\
L — the current level of the burned card.

> Example: burning an Ordinary card of 40th level will give you 11 750 Green Essence
>
> 11 750 = 100\*(1+0.13)^(40–1)
