__NOTOC__
Cards are one of the most important customization systems in Ragnarok Online. By inserting cards into slotted equipment, you can add powerful bonuses and effects to your gear.


== Overview ==
Cards provide:
* '''Stat bonuses''' — STR, AGI, VIT, INT, DEX, LUK
* '''Damage modifiers''' — Race, element, size bonuses
* '''Defensive bonuses''' — Resistance to elements, races, status effects
* '''Special effects''' — Skills, auto-cast abilities, unique mechanics
== Card Basics ==
=== Card Slots ===
Equipment can have 0 to 4 card slots, shown as brackets in the item name:
* '''Sword [0]''' — No slots, cannot be carded
* '''Sword [1]''' — 1 slot available
* '''Sword [4]''' — 4 slots available (maximum)
{{Note|Not all equipment has slots. Higher quality or unique items often have fewer or no slots.}}
=== Card Prefixes/Suffixes ===
When you insert a card, the equipment gains a prefix or suffix:
* '''Example:''' Sword + Hydra Card = '''Bloody Sword'''
* Multiple cards may combine prefixes or show the dominant one
== Inserting Cards ==
To insert a card:
# Open your inventory
# Right-click the card you want to insert
# Click on the slotted equipment you want to card
# Confirm the insertion
{{Warning|Card insertion is '''permanent''' on standard equipment. The card cannot be removed without special services.}}
=== Card Removal ===
Cards can be removed through:
* '''Card Remover NPC''' — Located in [[Heaven|Main Office]] (<code>@go main</code>)
* Removal typically has a cost and may have a chance to destroy the card
