This doesn't hold true for every game, but is accurate for the vast majority: The process is irreversible.Īssuming that n = # cards in set, c = value of single card, g = value of emoticon/background, and b = gems to craft booster, any one of the four can be calculated if any two other values are known. Only trading cards, emoticons, and backgrounds can be turned into gems. In general, the more cards in a set, the lower the value of the items and cards themselves. Free-to-play games (which drop cards based on how much one pays) generally have high-value items as well.
The value of an emoticon is equal to the value of a background crafted from the same set.Įmoticons and backgrounds associated with Valve (Valve games and summer/winter sale trading cards) are always worth 100 gems. It has been seen at five times (5x) the base value (e.g. The value of a foil is usually ten times (10x) the value of the normal card, but not always. Similarly, the gem value of a set's emoticons and backgrounds appears to be equal to the number of cards in the set * the gem value of normal cards / 2, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 20. This can be verified by selecting a game from your library using Booster Pack Creator. The number of gems to craft a booster appears to be 6000 / # of cards in the set (rounded up). This seems to be a card-specific issue (not set), where the Steam browser was 6X the regular amount for that set, and the third-party was only 1/2 the regular amount. Steam has an error/bug where they can offer different amounts of gems based on your browser, with the Steam browser getting more than others. It's far from a complete list and may not be accurate because Steam lowers values without notice (most likely as a function of base price). This page is an attempt to document the value in Gems of cards, emoticons, backgrounds, and booster packs of various games.
