In a recent interview with GRAVITY Co., Ltd. CTO Jin-soo Jun, it was revealed that the card system will indeed be making a comeback, but this time the cards will be attached to the character instead of individual items. The reason for this change is the fact that in Ragnarok Online many rare items were often overshadowed by low level items socketed with powerful cards. This made the inherent abilities in rare items a lot less relevant, and it proved to be a limiting factor when making new content.[3] Furthermore, in Ragnarok Online, many players had trouble obtaining these cards because they were too rare. To counter this issue GRAVITY Co., Ltd. implemented cards in ranks of bronze, silver, and gold. Therefore a gold card will be difficult to obtain, whereas the bronze card will be relatively common. This new system had then been modified in the "Limited Edition Test" so that instead of bronze, silver, and gold cards, there will be regular and special cards. By combining up to 5 different cards at the card master, players will be rewarded with a special card which will further increase its stats. Once a player has the maximum amount of cards equipped, you must destroy one of the equipped cards to replace it with a new one. Replacing a special card with a new one will result in the card not being destroyed, but sent back to your inventory instead.
