I messed up something, somehow edited my 2024 thread and most contents are lost... I'm recovering it using Web Archive but the formatting is a mess...
So probably I'll take a long while fixing that then finally putting my attention onto this 2025 one.
Most other things mentioned here are placeholder or just copied content from what's left of 2024.
I'll update them accordingly what this year has.

Tried that but it went worse. I mean yep linking archive would work but... somehow afraid that someday it'll be gone so better put all of them back.
At least learning the hard way next time to backup or recheck what I'm writing at all 😭

Besides some issues with Spoiler and Strikethrough format (in SG it works differently than the usual HTML thing) but it helped a lot, guess I just gave up making it same as what it was (the formatting part), but just the info there is enough.
Thx again.

Thx for the update, well at least glad less things to make this year, so I can focus on 2024 first to clean up the mess I made and then 2025.
At least I put the Daily Quests that is likely to expire soon and missable.
Others are not likely missable currently so probably no priority yet.

Anytime! If there's anything I can help with on this or any other issue, please let me know. Good luck! (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*

Currently it's just merely formatting whole content based on the format supported on SG.
As the whole content as text I have them, but to apply the SG Formatting and other things... that takes a while

Does doing all this get you any free or discounted games in the end?

Current Reward List isn't final, they always add more things after the event starts, it's still 15 days until the event starts irl.

Do you know if past events gave games out or it's just raffles and cards?

There are any free Steam games you can get using these trading card or anything like that? If not, what's the point in participating for garbage? Saw the last year threads and nothing that really can be worth my time.
Comment has been collapsed.
IIRC, you get it through completing quests by collecting stuff, not from trading cards directly. I don't even see that games are even offered this year so far. The cards themselves are just cosmetics for the site and wallpaper/avatar downloads. Nothing to do with games themselves.

Maybe add a big warning about trade requests, even for EPIX trading cards, on SG can get your account suspended?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ohh rip, forgot about that thing... let me see how to word that...
Done. I hope it's big enough.

I also have another one:
There are 17 more card slots in 2025 but if one inspect the cards, each one have a 25-XX code, year and card ID. The highest number I've seen so far is 25-46, High Sorcerer Baradun card.
Update: Don't have yet the cards below but I found their titles and images

Thx added to list too, trying to get cards from other people's feedback, currently 21 now. Need 25 more.

And another one: Opening Night Live
Thank you for all you do Meg ε(´。•᎑•`)っ
Comment has been collapsed.
can you give/gift someone a card or does it have to be a trade where you get something in return?
Comment has been collapsed.
To prevent last year abuse, they changed that this year needs to be traded at all. (Only tradable if both parties have duped cards)
Comment has been collapsed.
A PSA, don't try to trade on SG. You will be suspended. Thank you everyone, have a good day.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't tell me they're the one who is the only one who got 21 new cards already from this 2025 event.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for adding the part about not trading to the thread :)
Hopefully no one else will repeat trying to trade.
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome, added it the other day when @ProphetFinagle told me to add it, so really appreciate their help on that.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh I thought that was just added after I posted the PSA comment, that's great it was up there in the thread already. I actually didn't look at the thread and just responded to something I was made aware of. Knowing now that the warning was up there already, just really makes me wonder why some people do the things they do.
Comment has been collapsed.
Many people got their warning that day so many deleted their comment that time, but didn't expect there was a new comment about it again.
Despite I tried to make the warning as big as possible... but well.
Hope them will notice that soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
to be honest, I didn't understand the question.
I has 6 new cards + all from 2024.
My friend has 5 and + one identical.
We tried to swap, he gave me his identical 2025, I gave him mine identical from 2024.
The swap took place.
After that, he got the quest "collect 6 different cards".
I currently have 7 new cards.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahh my bad I misunderstood, I thought you meant they already got 49 cards achievement from the site already
Comment has been collapsed.
by the way, I would like to mention that I liked how they improved the exchange this year.
last year you just gave someone a link and expected the same in return, but your card could just be taken away with the link and that's it.
now everything is more thought out:
Comment has been collapsed.
It's much simpler, last year when I collected my entire card collection, I went to the official Discord channel and offered anyone who wanted to trade any of their cards for one of mine so they could complete their collection. Usually people gave away the same ones, some then gave away all their unnecessary ones, so I have a lot of extra cards left, there are 3 or 4 cards from last year that I have literally 10 or more of.
Comment has been collapsed.
I doubt, that at this time, "real" players would trade one of their new cards for an old one, especially...like you said...because there are so many old left from last year.
Thats why I guessed he/she made multiple "thrwoaway" accounts where he can harvest new cards in exchange for old ones.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know where the current leader of the chart gets the cards to trade and which ones. But you do understand that now you can only trade those cards that you have more than one of? What are the chances that someone has so many identical cards that they are ready to trade them on this day?
For example, I still have about 4 or 5 old cards with the same ones, but I don't know anyone else who would want to trade them :)
The scale of the fraud to get first place must be staggering.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure I understand and if you have read what I wrote in my first post you commented on you would know that.
I wrote: "already one new card 3 times and another twice".
Which means those are able to trade.
So if I have already duplicates with my one account, what are the chances that he/she gets duplicates on their multi accounts.
Comment has been collapsed.
Good, you seem to understand now.
It's random which card you get. In my case already duplicates with one account.
So it's totally possible that he/she traded with some of their multi accounts that got duplicates.
No need for you to further comment how hard or impossible this is.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice to see you again, Megumin!
Does anyone know at what UTC time the daily quests start?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not really sure yet but it seems to be resetting at 17:00 UTC
But quest expires at few hours earlier than that, haven't counted/checked yet.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nvm, saw their official announcement, today had a bug so it didn't release, each day reset time will be at 10:00 UTC

Sadly with current progress, no one can get Lvl 4 reward yet, since the quests that give XP until now only grants enough for Lvl 2 as mentioned in stats.
So all people will only get 360 XP which is on Lvl 2.
Need to wait future days when they release more quests that give XP to earn more lvls.
