How to Reach Steam Level 10 Under $1 & Farm Steam Points
Unlock your first profile showcase in 10 badge crafts and farm Steam Points through in-game items.
(ㅤ)1. How to reach Steam Level 10 to unlock your first Artwork Showcase?
1.1. Reaching Level 10 from Level 0 requires 1,000 EXP (1 badge craft = 100 EXP, so you need 10 crafts in total).
1.2. You can craft up to 5 levels per game badge (500 EXP). Buy 5 card sets from any two inexpensive games below (total cost is ~$0.85):
- 1. Counter-Strike 2 — 5 card sets (500 EXP).
- 2. UBERMOSH Vol.5 — 5 card sets (500 EXP).
- 3. UBERMOSH Vol.3 — 5 card sets (500 EXP).
2. How to farm Steam Points with minimal cost?
2.1. Community Market purchases do not grant Steam Points. Points are only awarded for Steam Store purchases and in-game store purchases (CS2, Dota 2, Rust, TF2).
2.2. How it works: buy Mann Co. Supply Crate Keys or Tour of Duty Tickets inside the Team Fortress 2 in-game store, receive Steam Points immediately, and resell the items on the Community Market. Your wallet balance and points stay with you (only the market fee is spent).
