- There must be no activity on your account within the timeframe you are requesting cards.
- Days claimed must be consecutive.
- This will not include Weekly Rare or Free Card.
- There will be a cooldown of 1 Month (30 Days) between claiming cards due to spending time away from KS.
- Upon your return to KS, please complete 2 threads + 15 posts before claiming. 1 thread needs to be in the Korean, Japanese, Chinese or Thailand section.

When claiming lost cards, you need to use this template in the requests thread:

How did the card game turn into Rocket Science??
We have introduced a few rules.
:pandatea: :lisalaugh:

Hopefully the TLDRs should simplify things for everyone (especially newer users).
