What does idling earn?
Games you idle drop trading cards on their own — roughly half a game's set, over the first few hours of playtime. Rough it out:
Card drops30
Full sets (est.)5
Badge XP500
Levels gained from level 05
Drops alone rarely complete sets — you trade or buy the missing cards (that's the "cost" above). How drops actually work: the card farming guide.
Let the drops happen while your PC is off.
HourFarming idles up to 32 games per account, 24/7, from the cloud — drops and playtime accumulate on their own.
