💜Magic Shop💜

📌Which collections are available via magic shop?
=Almost all collections including limited and out of rotation cards are available via Magic Shop. The only ones currently unavailable are: Album Mission exclusive cards and the Festa collection.

📌How does each tier of Magic Shop work?
= Please refer to the support feature or site FAQ.

📌Which Tier is right for me?
= ★Tier 1: For those that–
🔹Don't have too many dupicates but want to use Magic Shop
🔹Don’t mind getting duplicate cards
🔹Just want to get rid of their duplicate cards
🔹Are new and have very few cards, so there's less chances of getting duplicates
[⚠️ Keep in mind, you're trading in 3 duplicates for what might end up being another duplicate]

★Tier 2: For those who want Birthday special or other cards not available in Tiers 3 and 4.
[Remember, the more you complete your other collections, the higher your chances increase of pulling the limited cards because this Tier guarantees a new card.]

★Tier 3: For those that don't mind getting duplicates if it's from a chosen collection. If you perhaps need a duplicate from a specific collection in order to make a trade, this is a good Tier for you.
[Remember, just because it offers dupicates doesn't mean you'll always get them. You may get a new card as well.]

★Tier 4: For those who want to finish a specific non-limited collection and/or have many duplicates that are hard to trade.

💫Special/limited and out of rotation💫

📌Are special photocards available in magic shop?
= Yes, Birthday special are available in Tiers 1 and 2. Christmas special and Halloween special can be found in all Tiers.

📌Are limited photocards available in Magic Shop?
=Yes, they are available in Tiers 1 and 2. (Example: Photofolio)

📌What is the best way to get birthday special photocards?
=There are 3 tips you can follow:

1. Use Tier 2 (guaranteed new card)
2. Try using the Magic shop at the :07 minute of any hour (in your local timezone)
3. Finish as many of your other collections as possible to narrow down the number of incomplete collections

📌Do special cards (Birthday special) have duplicates?
=They don't have duplicates when you get them through games, missions, etc. However, it may be possible to get a duplicate through Tier 1 of Magic Shop, although that'll be rare.

📌What is the best way to get out of rotation cards?
=Trading with other people.

📌Are out of rotation cards available in Magic Shop?
=Yes, they are. (Example: O!RUL82? collection)

📌Will out of rotation cards be back in the future?
=Yes, but there's no confirmed date.

🎴Album Mission Photocards🎴

📌Are Album Mission Photocards available in Magic Shop?
= No, they are not.

📌Why can I see certain album photocard collections, even though the corresponding albums are not yet available to stream?
= These albums will be added soon, but the collections have been added beforehand. You'll be able to earn them once the albums are added as well.

📌What are 7% cards?
=Each of the album missions have one 7% card. Basically, you have a 7 in 100 chance of pulling that specific card. They're very rare and hard to get and are a good motivator for people to keep streaming the albums.

📌Can you get duplicates of 7% cards?
=Yes, you can. Although, it's extremely rare.

📌Can 7% cards be claimed through trade?
=Yes, they can. However, because of their demand and rarity, it'll be hard to find someone willing, unless you have something special that they're looking for.

📌Can 7% cards be earned via magic shop?
=No. Like all album mission photocards, you cannot get them through magic shop. You need to get them from either streaming or trading.

📌Does the :07 minute tip work for 7% cards?
= No, it's only for magic shop.

🚧(The FAQ section is still under work)🚧

Hi! Thanks for this thread! Wanted to ask about the magic shop. It's impossible to trade the dupes for Dalma or Birthday special collection, isn't it? Or is it just lugging and not showing me the full list of collections to choose from?

May I ask a question here about a problem with my Amibam?

Hey, No, you really can't choose them 💜

It doesn’t have any specific value. It was added so when you trade you would be able to pick the duplicate you got and not end up trade the original card you pulled. Many liked to keep the original card they had pulled. 💜

In the magic shop there's 4 tiers right? You can get the special cards in Tier 1 and 2. But you can't choose so it'll be random. On 3 and 4,you can choose but those don't include the special cards.

The best bet is Tier 2 because on Tier 1 you can get duplicates so for special cards, Tier 2 is best. Also, the more cards you've already collected, the higher your chance of getting the special cards increase. Since you can't get duplicates in Tier 2.

So, if you've already finished most of your collections, you'll have a higher chance of getting the special cards if they're the only few left.

You can ask anything, about any topic related to BTS and ARMY.

Can someone enlighten me on what a 7% card is please? 🙏💜

You’re trading your 3-4 dupes in for a chance to draw those pcs, but you can’t choose the ones you specifically want. If you’ve already collected a lot of the cards available, imo your best bet is to feed your album mission dupes into Tier 2 (takes 4 dupes). That way, you’re guaranteed a new card and if you’re lucky, it’ll be the specific one you want. If not, you’ve gotten a new pc and increased your chances of pulling the one you want next time 💜

(The top tiers (5 - 6 dupes) let you pick the collection, but limit your options to choose from. Birthday pcs aren’t available there and I don’t think Dalmas are either.)

ETA
Or what bang_tan_bangbangtan said, lol

In each album streaming mission collection, there is one “secret” pc that only has a 7% percent draw rate, making it more rare than the others. For the group albums, it’s generally the ot7 pc.

It means you only have a 7 in 100 chance of getting that card. They're very rare and hard to get and are a good motivator for people to keep streaming for the album missions.

Ah, ok thank you! This is very helpful 💜

Is there any alternative to getting a 7% chance card? I keep streaming the albums and keep getting duplicates, but never the rare card. (I have 12 duplicates on Indigo, and I traded many already)

Hey. i have a Problem with my Amibam Connection:

My Phone:Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G (refurbished)

• Connects to Amibam in self-mode, I also end up on the page where I can adjust the colors,but the Amibam light doesn't illuminate.
  The app reports the battery status of the Amibam as "almost empty," and then disconnects me.

-I've already uninstalled and reinstalled all the apps (Lightstick App and Weverse)
-I've already restarted my phone.
-Navigation services are on
-I've changed the batteries ( I tried it with new batteries and with the Lightstick rechargeable battery)

-Amibam connection worked at concerts in Amsterdam and Seoul, but of course I didn't need the app there.

We tested this yesterday with 4 different mobile phones and 2 Amibams:
-It doesn't work on my friend's newer I-Phone either (it won't even connect)
!!!Her Amibam works for her though!!!

-An older I-Phone works with mine

-Another newer Android also works with mine (Amibam battery status according to the app is "90%")

-Neither of the two test Amibams worked with my phone; Amibams and Phone connecting, but then no light came on(the app, on both Amibams ,again indicated that the battery was almost empty)

I think it's because the app says the battery is low, but why is it doing that? 🥴
Does anyone know anything about this and can help Or tell me who I can contact.? 💜

THANK YOU, I'm really afraid that it won't work at the concert. 😢

thankyouu!! <3

Has anyone noticed when doing album missions, right now you can choose proof and mots7 and there are a few songs that overlap. Do you have to stream those songs separately for each album or if I stream the song on mots7 for example will I get credit on proof too? It's only a few songs, but still if you can stream once and get credit for both albums that would be helpful.

Only if someone has gotten a dupe and are trading it. But I understand your frustration. have been streaming albums from day one and haven't gotten any 7% card yet. 😭

Yes you will get credit on both for one stream. The same is true with song that are also in the daily mission, if you stream that first. 💜

Can someone help me with the free PC for buying RUN BTS?

I bought it yesterday on iTunes, but my iPhone doesn’t allow me to add pictures to the forum somehow.

I tried to reply on X to the post there but it also doesn’t accept my replies…

I am fairly new to both X and this forum so maybe I’m just missing a clue? 😬

Is anyone else having issue with streams not updating?
