Card Album Guide Ragnarok: The New World — Collection, Fusion, Set Bonuses

The Card Album is Ragnarok: The New World's new collection meta-system, similar to a monster-hunter bestiary. Players obtain cards by hunting monsters, buying, or fusing, then register them in the album. Completing specific chapters unlocks set bonuses, and registering every card grants a rare title plus Star Stone. Unlike Ragnarok Online where cards only fit in gear sockets, The New World lets players showcase collection progress. See Achievement Guide for Star Stone uses

Main card sources:

• Monster drops — Random from the linked monster, 0.5% to 5% chance
• Weekly dungeon rewards — Orc Memory, Toy Factory, etc. can grant rare cards
• Card fusion — Three identical cards fuse into the next tier
• Exchange purchases — Buy directly from other players
• Event rewards — Limited cards drop during seasonal events

The album is divided into ten chapters with unique set bonuses:

• Chapter 1 Prontera — Collect 12 city monsters, gain STR +3
• Chapter 2 Payon — Collect 12 forest monsters, gain AGI +3
• Chapter 3 Morroc — Collect 12 desert monsters, gain VIT +3
• Chapter 4 Geffen — Collect 12 Geffen monsters, gain INT +3
• Chapter 5 Comodo — Collect 12 island monsters, gain DEX +3
• Chapter 6 Starglade — Collect 12 sky monsters, gain LUK +3 and 50 Star Stone

Three cards of the same rarity fuse into the next tier:

• Common → Rare — 3 commons + 1 Card Fusion Stone
• Rare → Epic — 3 rares + 3 Card Fusion Stone + 1 Star Stone
• Epic → Legendary — 3 epics + 10 Card Fusion Stone + 5 Star Stone + 50,000 Zeny

Fusion does not preserve set progress — only the final card registers

Cards to prioritize on a fresh server:

1. Poring series — Easy to get, gives EXP bonus
2. Drops series — Boost drop rate, suited for farmers
3. Poporing series — Increases Zeny drops
4. Refinement stone series — Raises weapon refine success rate

These four sets together grant All Stats +2, a huge early-game power spike

Legendary cards like Mistress and Lord of Death sell for hundreds of thousands to millions of Zeny on the Exchange. Focus on class-specific cards rather than generic ones for the best Zeny value
