📰 Gift Crafting and Its Details.🎁 Telegram is preparing to introduce gift crafting on the test server. This explains the introduction of a second cake emoji pack, which is being tested. A similar feature exists in Counter-Strike 2, where several items can be crafted into one. In Telegram, four gifts can be crafted into one. 🪚 During the generation process, backgrounds and patterns with the lowest % differences are selected from the selected gifts; more precisely, the rarest attributes are selected. The gift models are unclear: either the crafting process will result in a more valuable artifact, or the art team will create special "hybrid" models. 🤷 It has not been confirmed whether the gifts used for crafting will be hidden after this process and accessible only via a direct link, which will hide the last owner of the item, and will be visible only to you. ⚠️ Please note that this is all speculation from the source who published this, and advised you and yourself not to try to guess. It's better to wait until later, at least until the next beta. The source's admin, desys, gave an interview to the channel "Дарни вещает" about these gifts. — What do you think of the Durovs' strategy regarding gifts? Like auctions, for example, or the much-talked-about crafting? — Personally, I'm not particularly interested in gifts, nor in crypto. But the crafting feature will probably save gifts, because the gifts used for crafting expire, reducing the current supply. The auction system is so-so, because after the release of such gifts, people suffer losses and sell them below cost. Test server timeline: - A second pack of cake emojis has appeared. - New models have appeared with 0% rarity. - Some developers are buying up gifts, including those with identical background colors. - The owners of "crafted" gifts were hidden, then they returned. - Three gifts — this was before, and once, instead of four gifts (studied by madrik).
