The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Quills were used for writing with ink before the invention of the dip pen, the fountain pen, and the ballpoint pen.
- As with many antiquated writing instruments, quills have no internal ink reservoir and therefore need to be dipped into an inkwell periodically during writing.
- Quills are rarely used by modern calligraphers, however, they are still the tool of choice for historical reenactors or select writers, as the ability to cut the quill allows for a greater freedom of calligraphic scripts.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Quill article was read about 79,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 58 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get Quill
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
