### A point about points
Every card in Agnosia retains an amount of brew points according to its level, matches played, and wins. Brew points are equivalent to the weight a card can be redeemed for when brewed in the Cauldron. While a card's brew points can be positively impacted by its wins and matches played, its brew point value is negatively affected when many cards of its level or higher have been discovered and brewed globally. The most substantial gain in brew points comes from newly discovered high-level cards. The difference in brew points per level is substantial enough to wholly negate the impact of a player farming wins against themselves to gain points. This also assists more active players in attempts to achieve a weight advantage against inactive veterans in the Cauldron. A card's brew point value is negatively affected when many cards of its level or higher have been discovered and brewed globally.
### But weight, there's more
The Cauldron is a competitive card redemption and reward mechanism that utilizes a weight system to calculate the allocation of tokens vested to users over a fixed distribution schedule. Weight in the Cauldron corresponds to the total amount of brew points held by cards that have been brewed and is used to determine the rate of tokens emitted to a user based on their share of the total weight in the system and the balance of reward tokens in the contract. Rewards can be withdrawn at any time by clicking on the Cauldron or brewing an additional card to redeem any outstanding balance. Cauldron weight is permanent and is also included in the [Gateway](https://docs.agnosia.gg/conjure#its-like-the-private-key-to-a-burn-address) weight calculation, providing an additional share of the Gateway reward to a user even if they have only used the Cauldron.
