First craft in 5 minutes

1What a craft is

A craft, also called a trade-up or trade-up contract, is part of the game itself. You give 10 skins of one rarity and get one skin of the next rarity from the collection of one of those you gave. Which one drops is decided by chance, but the odds are known in advance. More: “How crafts work».

Risk. The game takes the items you give for good, a contract cannot be undone.

2What to buy

Here you will see the list: which items, how many, which wear and float, at what price — with “Steam” and “Buy” buttons for the marketplaces. There is no suitable craft right now.

Risk. The site does not offer a craft until it has checked that it can be assembled: without listings with the right float on the market, the contract cannot be built.

3How to check the float

Float is the item's wear number, from 0 to 1. Every item you buy must have it inside the “buy from–to” window.

• On marketplaces the float is shown on every listing.
• On Steam float — “Inspect in Game” on the listing, or the “Check floats on Steam” button on the craft page.
• Already bought: in the game “Inventory” → item → “Inspect” → the “i” icon at the bottom, the “Wear Rating” line.

Risk. If even one item is outside the float window, a skin of a different wear will drop, and the site's calculation will not apply to it.

4How to make the contract in the game

1. Open the “Inventory” and click any of the skins you bought.
2. Choose “Use With Trade Up Contract”: this is the contract.
3. Add all the items you bought, exactly those. Check the names and wear.
4. Sign the contract with the mouse and confirm — the new item appears in your inventory.

Risk. A signed contract cannot be undone, and an extra or wrong item changes the odds.

5What can drop

Here you will see a table: what can drop, with what chance and how much you net after the Steam 15% fee.

The skin that dropped can be sold on Steam: the money goes to your Steam wallet minus the 15% fee. You can also sell it on another marketplace, with its own fee and its own withdrawal terms. Compare before selling.

Risk. “Every outcome pays off” holds for the prices of the latest collection. While you buy and sell, the outcome may get cheaper.

6Record the result

Write down what you bought and at what price, the float of each item, what dropped and what you sold it for. Send the record using the template from the “Tester's guide”. Such records make up the section “Proven in practice».

Risk. You cannot judge by one craft: in a single attempt both a gain and a loss are chance.
