"Actually, it’s not a big deal. I’m just curious about S-rank cards."
Ree Shil shrugged.
"Look who’s talking. I don’t have any S-rank cards."
Boss N hurriedly denied.
"I heard the quest is incredibly difficult. Is that true?"
Ree Shil continued to ask.
"Ah... it’s so hard, damn."
Boss N sighed, indirectly admitting it.
Obtaining S-rank cards is different from obtaining A-rank cards.
Ree Shil had learned about it when he was researching A-rank card acquisition methods at the library.
First of all, just like the concept of gold-edged cards, there is a colorful gold edge concept among S-rank cards, sometimes also called diamond edge - as in, diamond as in the gem.
According to Ree Shil’s understanding, the ways to obtain diamond-bordered cards are similar to that of gold-bordered cards.
First, of course, is the simplest and most straightforward method.
Instance draw cards.
If you draw a diamond-bordered card, then it’s a diamond-bordered card.
However, material cards don’t have gold edges or diamond edges; in other words, gold edge material is equivalent to A-rank material cards, while diamond edge material is equivalent to S-rank material cards.
Second, the card itself is an S-rank card.
S-rank cards have diamond edges.
If you use it in card-making and get an A-rank card, that finished card will also have a diamond edge.
What needs to be noted is that if the compatibility is not high enough, besides exploding and devouring cards, there is another possibility when diamond-bordered cards participate in card-making.
That is losing the edge.
Meaning a direct loss of the potential of the diamond-bordered card.
Third, card player’s talent.
Some card players’ talents can grant diamond edges to cards under certain specific conditions.
But the probability of such a talent’s occurrence is even smaller than that of gold edges, extremely rare.
As for the other method of obtaining gold-edged cards, relying on a high enough card player level (for example, when the card player level is high enough, there is a certain chance to add a gold edge to the card during card-making) it is not in the diamond edge’s theory.
Another major difference between diamond-bordered and gold-bordered cards is this:
The highest starting level of original diamond-bordered battle cards is A-rank.
That means there won’t be a situation where you draw an S-rank card immediately (excluding material cards).
Moreover, no matter how high the compatibility between the main card and the diamond-bordered card, it won’t be possible to directly fuse into an S-rank card.
Fusing with a diamond-bordered card only allows the main card to gain a diamond edge.
To turn a diamond-bordered card into a true S-rank card, there is a unique process involved. freewёbnoνel.com
That is to complete an exclusive S-rank card mission.
Moreover, this mission must necessarily involve an instance or an instance PVE card game mission.
This is where the importance of PVE fully shows itself.
You don’t like playing PVE and prefer PVP? Fine, you’re allowed.
But if you happen to get a diamond-bordered card and want to promote it to a real S-rank card, even if you don’t like PVE, you’ll have to go into an instance to do the mission.
Ree Shil’s reasons for visiting Boss N were twofold.
First, curiosity - he wanted to inquire about the situation of an S-rank card mission.
Second, learning - he wanted to see an S-rank card with his own eyes, and if he could touch it, even better.
After all, despite textbooks and materials providing detailed identification methods, even illustrated Atlases and simulation demonstration videos, nothing beats observing the real thing.
Otherwise, he might not recognize a diamond-bordered card even if he encountered one, missing it completely.
Now that Boss N has admitted that he’s doing, or has completed, an S-rank card mission, it means he at least has a diamond-bordered card.
As expected, after hearing Ree Shil’s motivation, Boss N put down his wine glass on the bar counter, his elbow resting on the countertop to support his body.
"To outsiders, diamond edges and gold edges are indistinguishable."
However, he still didn’t directly admit it, only saying this.
"They only appear openly different when they become genuine S-rank cards."
"But as the owner, you can see something different."
"Because if it’s an A-rank diamond-bordered battle card, you can directly see the promotion mission."
"Of course, if it’s an S-rank material card with a diamond border, it can be distinguished by the naked eye."
"Actually, there’s no real point in distinguishing them, since the material card already says it’s S-rank, right?"
"Unfortunately, I don’t have any S-rank material cards to show you."
"Those kinds of things usually only appear at auction houses."
This made Ree Shil slightly more enlightened.
No wonder he only saw Atlases and simulation demonstration videos. As it turns out, non-S-rank diamond-bordered cards could only be seen by their owners.
But at least one thing was sure - when previewing in the card pool, if he saw a gold-bordered card, he could just take it.
After all, diamond-bordered and gold-bordered cards look the same.
To put it more directly, diamond-bordered cards have a small chance of appearing among gold-bordered cards.
So far, he hasn’t drawn many gold-bordered cards, so naturally, he doesn’t have any diamond-bordered cards either.
"I heard the quest is incredibly difficult. Is that true?"
Again, he asked the same question.
Just now, it was a test, and this time, it was genuine curiosity.
Because something like diamond-bordered cards, though they cannot be sought after intentionally,
If they appear, they most likely won’t escape his grasp.
Unless it’s like last time with the Wind Chasing Messenger, where he had to pick one from several golden cards, not knowing if there were any diamonds.
If it appears in the card pool, he’ll definitely seize it. It’s not like the number of gold-bordered cards in a card pool could exceed his own drawable amount, right?
Therefore, Ree Shil felt that the promotion mission might be the most difficult part for him.
"Didn’t I tell you just now? It’s incredibly difficult."
Faced with this question, Boss N laughed.
However, this time it wasn’t a bitter smile but rather one with a sense of relief.
As a result, Ree Shil judged that the other party truly had an S-rank card.
"Ahem."
At this time, Boss N cleared his throat, apparently having something to say.
