More Detail About Duelpass (Discontinued Duelpass)

If you go to YU-GI-OH Online Official Website and click on Duelpass page you will see all duelpase in that page but not All  Duelpass are available all the time.

Phase Duelpass (Except Duel Pass Phase 2) are Discontinued now  It’s mean no more Old Phase Duel Pass from konami.

Not only Old Phase Duelpass but now some of Structure Deck Duelpass seem to be discontinued because It’s out of stock so long, If you asking me How can I know it?

I know it from konami Style Japan , I  believe If there are some  duelpass available on Japan Konamistyle  = It available for the  world because Konamistyle is konami commercial site.

When you are at Konami Style Japan you can search with “Keyword” = “duelpass” or “デュエルパス (It’s mean duelpasss in Japan Language)”  those 2 keyword will pulling duelpass item to display or you can click this link http://www.konamistyle.jp/eccategory/category100582_1.html It’s konamistyle category for yugioh online.

This is How it’s look like

Click on 1 duelpass you would like to see and you will see this screen

but when I click on the old duelpass

What a different? yes the far right button (look at the Arrow) If There is some duelpass available on konamistyle you can click this button for order it but if it not, It means It’s out of stock now.

Note : You can’t order duelpass from Konami Style Japan They accept order only from Japanese Resident, Webmoney duelpass can only use from Japan also.

There is an easier way to check it you just go to YGOOCGDB then scroll down to the center of the page You will see this screen.

The Red mark mean out of stock/Not Available now, Yes just like you see not only old phase duelpass but Structure Deck Duel Pass (E-Hero Evolution Deck, Spellcaster’s Unity, The Lost Guarian) also out of stock and It’s long time now. It seem like Konami Discontinued it,  No longer being printed for old duelpass.

This is also the same with Konami Style UK only 1 different is Phase 1 are available at Konamistyle UK but It’s not available at Konamistyle Japan.

Not only Duelpass Cards USB Duelpass also out of stock (Maybe this is why Dark Paladin increase in value)

I don’t know why konami doing this? They can get more money If they make it available to everyone. This is really bad for new player, Your hope for getting a Good Structure Deck (“Spellcaster’s Unity” is the best one in my opinion)/Good bonus card from old duel pass are gone. Only way to get it is Trading.

When talking about duelpass I’ve got some E-mail asking me Where can I buy it?, Can you recommend me a good duelpass site?

I will answer all question here. I’m on the same boat with you guys I live in Thailand and no one import duelpass to my country. My country also not listing on Main Site, It means I can’t purchase Duelpass using My Credit Card (Duelpass 150) but I can still play this game.

I buy duelpass from the website Here are the list of website I used to buy Duelpass and I recommend it to anyone who want to buy it.

1. Gamezshop.nl This site run by Theo. You can buy duelpass using Paypal, 24 hrs guaranteed

2. Gamerspride run by AmphibianBeast. Accept Paypal & Credit Card, 24 hrs guaranteed

3. E-bay.com searching with keyword duelpass Most of duelpass seller on E-bay using Paypal Account.

4. YGO-Online Shop – This is a new site and have a good price (Cheaper than Ebay).

5. Order them from Japan – I already create a guide for order them You can check it out at Cheapest Boosterpass Fro Someone Who Can’t Buy It From Official Site and You can order them from Otacute They are trustable I already got a Duelpass/Boosterpass from them.

When you buy duelpass from them you will get only duelpass code sent directly to your E-mail, If you didn’t get it in 24 hrs after your order you can sent e-mail to him/leaving message on MSN.

Note : Duelpass code are seperate by region, You can notice it by 2 word in front of DP code.

JP = Duelpass code from Japan

US = Duelpass from United States

DE = Duelpass from Germany

GB = Duelpass from Great Britain

NL = Duelpass from Netherlands

There is some for korea but I don’t know maybe with KR

Duelpass from Japan is the fastest one konami release it in japan before any other country.

Note : If you buy Duelpass from Official Site through Paypal you can select which Duelpass you want to buy and All of Duelpass are available.

Discontinued Duelpass will only exist if you buy it from Third Party Site or from Konamistyle (All of Them are available If you buy it with Paypal).

YU-GI-Oh Online Card Rarity

Card Rarity is very important for Trading because some cards are rare and some cards are not, You may not get cards you want if you don’t know How Rare is it. How can you know which cards is Rare Cards and How Rare is it?

Japanese Card Rate is Your Answer, JPN Card Rate is a Rate Chart created by Japanese Player from game2channel BBS. It’s a Rate Chart to to see which card is rarer, How rare it is in YU-GI-Oh Online. They update it often and change a Rate when new cards come.

6 Things you need to know about Japanese Card Rate

1. Japanese Card Rate don’t Rate banned card and don’t rate All Cards in the game

2. It rate cards by how hard it can get not how useful it is but there are some exception such as some useful GS6 is rarer than GS7 win

3. It’s a rate chart creating for Trading in JPN Lobby not English Lobby but the rate still usable in other lobby because It’s rate card by how hard it can get

4. Value of cards change everytime, some cards may remove from the rate some may return

5. They update it Frequency but I’m not If you can read JPN You can read at game2channel BBS itself

6. Japanese Card Rate is The Most Popular Post in this site more than 20,000 Page View on it, a lot of people in this game using Japanese Card Rate to determine value of the cards

Other than JPN Card Rate There is Card Value from Vertecles using MP Value to determine Rarity (Card Value also base on Japanese Card Rate).

You should know that Rarity change everytime and everytime There is a Currency for it,

In The Past after a few month YU-GI-OH Online released while there are no Mileage Cards : Magician of Faith, Lord of Dragon and Harpie Lady Sisters are currency for Trading because It’s hard to get it from the pack.

a lot of people collecting it because it can trade to any cards they want but when Mileage System was Launched Slate Warrior become a Trade Currency because It’s 30 Mileage Points (You need to put Duel Pass Code 30 Times to get it) make it hard to get at that time (It’s also a powerful monster during those period).

Note : 1 Mileage Point in the past = 10 MP now because Milage Points total you amassed before 12/10/2007 will be multiplied by 10 From 12/10/2007 so 30 Mileage Points = 300 MP in present

The only way to get GS Cards during that time is to trade Slate Warriors or other GS to get it but not all GS have a value Barrel Dragon is the example.

Barrel Dragon is GS7 win card but It’s not a Rare Card because It’s only one GS card that Re-release again in Booster Pack 14 It’s Rare for a while after Booster Pack 14 release It’s become common card No Rare and No Value.

Some Gunslinger Cards that Re-release again in other form will drop down in Value, This Type of Card is Vorse Raider, Sebek’s Blessing and Anniversary Trial 50 Cards.

Vorse Raider Alt Art and Sebek’s Blessing are both GS5 win cards but GS Vorse Raider re-release again by NPC (You can get it by winning Seto Kaiba 5 times), Sebek’s Blessing re-release again in Duel Pass Dinosaur’s Roar.

This case also apply to YOC : Skull Dice and Big Shield Gardna (Top 4&Top 16 YOC Cards From Summer Championship 2005) Re-release again in Booster Pack 21 and Beginner’s Pack3 make it drop down in value not only this 2 YOC, 30 Mileage Point Slate Warrior also in Booster Pack 21

Note : There are only 2 YOC Cards that Re-release again in Booster Pack It’s Skull Dice&Big Shield Gardna

When we talk about Card Rarity We also need to learn Mileage system from The Past because It will tell you Why some cards are Rare, Some aren’t.

Mileage System in The Past divide into 3 Phase each phase have 1 Top Mileage Card (Most Expensive Mileage Card), Those cards will not remove until new Phase come (Other Mileage Cards got remove when Konami add some cards into Mileage List)

1st Phase (2005/07/29-2005/12/01) : Top Mileage Card is Slate Warrior (30 Mileage Points)

After this card release in Booster Pack 21 It’s drop down in value but still rare because It’s hard to get it from Booster Pack (Hard to pull it from Pack)

2nd Phase (2005/12/01-2006/08/01) : Top Mileage Card is Ring of Destruction (50 Mileage Points)

This is The Most Expensive Mileage Card in YU-GI-OH Online (50 Mileage Points in the past = 500 MP now) Now It’s discontinued and never release again (You can’t get it with your TP also)

Ring of Destruction not Available in Tournament Point Selection Screen

Ring of Destruction is Banned Card, This is why you didn’t see it in Japanese Card Rate but It’s still Very Rare Card only way to get it is to Trade with old player.

3rd Phase (2006/08/01-2006/12/11) : Top Mileage Card is Exodia Necross (30 Mileage Points)

This is a Top Rare Cards in Japanese Card Rate because It’s Discontinued Card, Never release again and you can’t get it with your TP, only way to get it is to Trade with old player.

When YU-GI-OH Online upgrade to YU-GI-OH Online Duel Evolution, Cyber dragon is Currency for Trading.

A Lot of people collecting it for Trading Purpose but after The Shops available Cyber Dragon can easily get it from Theme Pack (Super Mechs) It’s lost a value, Now Doomcaliber Knight (MP 100) is our Currency

Card Rarity Factor
1. Cards Rarity will change when It Re-release again in other form (Barrel Dragon, Skull Dice, Big Shield Gardna, Slate Warrior, Anniversary Trial 50 Cards, Sebek’s Blessing, Vorse Raider Alt Art, Top 8- Top 16 YOC Qualifiers Cards, Structure Deck Duel Pass Cards, etc…) (Price Down)
2. Cards Rarity will change when It become Discontinued Card (Ring of Destruction, Exodia Necross, Old Phase Duel Pass Cards, USA Promo, V-Jump Promo, etc…) (Price-Up)
3. Depening on Metagame Some Cards that a lot of people use or a require card for some type of deck recipe can Price Up or Price Down
4. Some Cards is Rare because It’s hard to get it (Rare Loser’s Card [Thunder Kids/Haniwa/White Dolphin], USB Duel Pass Cards, YOC Qualifiers Cards, Some GS Cards that aren’t release in Anniversary Trial 50 Event such as Soul Taker, Legendary Fiend, Rigras Leever, etc…)
5. Cards Rarity may change when Time Passed (Anniversary Trial 50 Cards, Old Booster Pack Cards, etc…) (Price-Up)
6. Some Cards are Rare for a while (Cards from Latest Booster Pack, Latest Duel Pass Cards, etc…)

Duel Logs and How To Share It

Duel Logs is a previous gameplay from player, This feature had improved a lot when compare it to duel log from YU-GI-OH Online 1.

You can see it by clicking on main menu select Duel Logs.

Duel Log Menu split into 4 Main Category.

Latest Duel Logs = Your Latest Duel Log. Duel Log is saved automatically on your computer after duel, it will save only 100 duel from the 101st onwards, the oldest duel log will be deleted to make space. You can choose your favourite Duel Log and save it to Duel Log Collection by Clicking on Add to Collection.

Server Duel Logs = Duel Logs from YU-GI-Oh Online Server include all Server and lobby by pressing it you can see Latest Duel Log from other player in each server, duel log from YU-GI-Oh Online Event [Duelist Trial, Gunslinger and Evolution Match, 2nd Anniversary Trial 50] are includes. Server Duel Logs record only duel that allowed to watch if you don’t want it to appear you can creat duel and select watch off.

*If you want to watch duel log in yugioh online event select World server, Duel Log from YU-GI-Oh Online Championship aren’t include in it.

Duel Log Collection = It’s a Duel Log you collect by clicking add to collection. There are no limit on how much it can stored on your PC [depending on your Hard Drive], You can add your own duellog or other player duellog into your own collection.

By Clicking on it you will see a list of duellog when you click on duellog you will see this screen

You can mange your own duellog collection by Play, Delete or Add Comment as for Add Comment it’s useless because when I put a comment in it when I log out and log in again my comment always Disappear.

YOC Final Tournament Duel Logs = same like a name It’s Duel Log from YU-GI-Oh Online Championship Final Tournament but not only YOC duellog from Jump Festa 2008 Final Round also include in it. You can watch and save it to your own collection.

Duel Log from YOC Spring 2007 and onward are available.

YU-GI-Oh Online 1 Duel Log didn’t have YOC Final Tournament Duel Log and they don’t split it into category so everything are messy and You don’t have your own duellog collection.

When they upgrade to YU-GI-Oh Online 2 Duel Log feature are very nice but there are 3 thing I want konami to improve, First is to let everyone can save duellog from YOC Preliminary Round because it’s not available and it will disappear in a short time when a new preminary round start. Second I want them to improve comment feature on Duel Log Collection [Comment always disappear], The Last is Card Search it need to upgrade because it’s not work correctly [When I searching by player name I saw on Duel Log Collection they don't show it all.

How To share Duel Logs

Normally you can add other player duellog on Server Duel Logs and YOC Final Tournament Duel Logs but server duellog will get rid of the old duellog so old duel log aren't available for adding to your own collection the only way to see it is to share your duellog between you and your friend. I will teach you how to do it

What do you need before doing it

First I need you to install Edit Plus program I already zip it in here a Download Link, (You don't need to download from all link just download from 1 link that work for you other link are a mirror).

http://rapidshare.com/files/113120096/Edit_Plus_3.rar.html

http://depositfiles.com/files/5189450

http://www.ziddu.com/download.php?uid=Y7KbnJ2uZaqinZqtr6yZlJyiYa%2BWlJup1

This Program will make it easier to paste a duellog code and it's very good program better than notepad, Sometime when you open readme/script/etc... you may find that the text are hard to read [It's messy] but when you open it with this program it will look clean easy to edit/copy and paste.

Open With Notepad

Open With Edit Plus

You may use other program you prefer but I recommend this program.

2.You need .log file from person you want to watch his/her Duel Log, It’s Duel Log file from Duel Log folder [usually located at C:\Program Files\KONAMI\Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE 2\profiles\[Your Player Name]\duellogs]

3.mylist.txt (From favourites folder normally locate at C:\Program Files\KONAMI\Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE 2\profiles\[Your Player Name]\duellogs\favourites)

When you are ready go to where you install the game (Normally it will install in C:\Program Files\KONAMI\Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE 2) access you profiles folder you will see your player name double click on it and then go to duellogs folder (C:\Program Files\KONAMI\Yu-Gi-Oh! ONLINE 2\profiles\[Your Player Name]\duellogs) You will see a lot of .log files along with list.txt and favourite folder

.log file is your duellog file

list.txt is a list of duellog that will appear on Latest Duel Log

favourites folder is your Duel Log Collection inside that folder include duellog file (.log file) and mylist.txt, mylist.txt is a list of duellogs that will appear on Duel Log Collection Screen.

For Adding someone else’s Duel Logs I recommend to do it on favourite folder [Your Duel Log Collection] cause it have no limit of how much it can store [Latest Duel Log only show 100 Duel Log] and for easy checking it.

Now We go to favourites folder open mylist.txt. you will see a list of number, One Long Line of number you see in Edit Plus is 1 Duel Log.

Here an Example below is a Start and The End of one duellog From My Duel Log Collection

83511000A33110002D211000D831100051311000225130006DE030007A611000E25130006E812000E5813000713110003C211000692130007A31300066311000117110006771100063611000CC211000006110002071300061311000B131100047411000BC91300040411000C4713000D4713000 20070408-R15-A-1512490002920497.log 3 14 Jando7 22 KARISUMAN 1176012709 0 0 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
