Full Guide Punchcards (8.2)

What are punchcards

These are similar to Jewelcrafting Gems. It gives you an extra benefit on a specific trinket.
You can basically custom make a specific punchcard trinket by using punchcards on the empty slots on that trinket.
And the cards have different cool stuff.

There are 3 different types of punchcards.

Yellow

This gives secondary stats – Mastery, Versatility, Crit, Haste.
It gives 2 of them per card.

Blue

This card gives a cool ability.
For example, increase lung capacity by 1000, or Track nearby Mechanical Creatures.

Red

This card gives an ability that you use on enemies.
For example. Channel a cyclotronic blast that does high dmg and dmg over time on your enemy. Or, a chance to get 10% haste when you do dmg or heal.

How do I get a Punchcard Trinket

The trinket you get is from a quest in Mechagon, Rustbolt.
This is a quest that pops up at the start of the questline.

The NPC is called Christy Punchcog.

Quest: Upgraded
This quest gives you a trinket as reward (Pocket-Sized Computation Device)

How do I get Punchcards

Yellow Punchcards

These yellow punchcards will always have

One high secondary stat
One low secondary stat

The higher secondary stat will always have one of the other secondary stats, meaning, you can find a higher stat with the lower stat you prefer.

  • Omnipurpose card
    Versatility is highest + one of the other secondary stats.
  • Optimized card
    Mastery is highest + one of the other secondary stats.
  • Performant card
    Haste is highest + one of the other secondary stats.
  • Forceful card
    Critical Strike is highest + one of the other secondary stats.

Rare Mobs

Some specific Rare Spawn mobs in Mechagon island will always drop a yellow Punchcard.
It is different punchcards, but it is always yellow.
Meaning the stats differ.

  • Uncle Trogg
    Inside the cave.
    Tip: You might need help from more players to kill it.

  • Malfunctioning Beastbot
    You must activate this mob to be able to attack it.
    1) Take the Blueprint: Beastbot Powerpack is just in front of the Malfunctioning Beastbot.
    2) Run back to Rustbolt and talk to the machine, Pascal to learn it.
    3) Make the item “Beastbot Powerpack”.
    4) Run back and click on the mob, now you can engage.
    Tip: You might need help from more players to kill it.
