In TCG Live, code redemption is limited depending | In TCG Live, code redemption is limited depending on the product. When a new set releases in-game, the count for all products is reset. This limit has been set so players would not exploit the new crafting feature, which rewards players with a new currency when they obtain cards they have already reached the limit for. Using this currency, players can craft any card they desire in the game, which could be easily exploitable by using various codes of the same product. Once the maximum amount has been reached, a small amount of currency per code will be granted instead. | ||
