SpiritVale Cards Guide — All 258 Cards, Slots and Best Drops
Cards are the heart of build-crafting in SpiritVale — the direct descendant of Ragnarok Online's card system, and arguably deeper than the original. Monsters drop cards, equipment has card slots, and the right card loadout can make two identically-geared players perform completely differently. Veterans consistently say the same thing: treat cards as a core progression system from day one, not as an endgame extra.
Quick facts: there are 258 cards in the current wiki database (v0.20.4), equipment carries 1–2 card slots, cards drop from normal monsters and bosses (bosses drop signature cards), and a card remover NPC (named Weaver, in town) lets you pull cards back out of equipment.

How the Card System Works
- Cards drop from kills. Every drop rolls independently (no pity, no weighted slots — see the farming guide for the drop math).
- Equipment has slots. Gear shows its slot count (1 or 2) — weapons, armor, accessories and headgear all take cards.
- Socket to gain passive effects. Cards provide everything from small stat bumps (+4% attack) to build-defining mechanics (reflect damage, MP siphon, elemental conversion).
- Cards can be removed. The town NPC Weaver is the card remover — you can pull a card out and re-socket it, which makes card progression flexible rather than permanent.
Don't confuse the town NPC named Weaver (card remover) with the endgame Weaver class — different things. The NPC is in town from early game.
The Card Catalog at a Glance
The wiki card database lists 258 cards organized by affix type. The affix names tell you the effect family:
- Attack/power: Power (+Atk%), Sharp, Precision, Savage, Violent
- Speed: Rapid (+Atk Spd), Haste, Mobile, Fleet
- Hit/accuracy: Accurate (+Hit), Sniper (+Hit%), Bumble
- Survivability: Healthy, Vital, Unbreaking, Titan (no knockback), Fireproof/Waterproof/Windproof/Stoneproof/Mudproof (element resists)
- Sustain: Leeching (HP leech), Siphoning (MP steal), Energy (HP/MP regen), Vampiric
- Elemental: Flaming, Frosty, Storm, Poisonous, Holy, Shadow, Umbral, Meteoric, Tidal, Quaking, Seismic
- Utility: Light (weight limit per refine), Wizardry (cast speed), Cloaking, Volley, Flurry, Combo, Dancing
- Status: Resistance (stun/slow/bleed resists), Immune, Purifying
Real card examples from the database:
| Card | Effect | Affix |
|---|---|---|
| Angel Card | Healing +10% | Blessed |
| Bee Card | Hit +25 | Accurate |
| Boxy Robot Card | HP Regen +25%, MP Regen +25% | Energy |
| Bomb Card | Atk +4% | Power |
| Bat Card | Kill → MP +10% | Leeching |
| Bat Lord Card | Siphon MP +3 | Siphoning |
| Cactus King Card | Reflect (scales per refine) | Spiked |
This is a sample — the full 258-card list with exact values is on the wiki.
Best Cards and What to Farm
Boss cards are the chase items — each of the 25 world bosses drops a signature card (Bat Lord, Cactus King, Angel Mage, and so on), and those cards anchor endgame builds. Farming priorities:
- Early (1–40): Bee (hit), Bomb (attack), Boxy Robot (regen), Rapid-family attack-speed cards. These alone meaningfully speed up leveling.
- Mid (40–90): element-conversion and resist cards for the biome you're farming — Cactus (earth resist), Fireproof/Waterproof lines, Leeching/Siphoning sustain cards.
- Late (90–150): boss signature cards and the high-end affixes (Titan, Wizardry, Vampiric, Combo). See the bosses guide for who drops what.
For the drop mechanics — every roll is independent, and expected drops per kill equals the sum of drop chances — see the farming guide.
Card Builds: The Combining Principle
Cards combine with your stats, gear, artifacts and grimoires into the final build. Two community-proven patterns:
- Sustain-first farming: regen + leech cards (Boxy Robot, Bat, Vampiric lines) so you never stop for potions — the standard for long grind sessions.
- Element-focused damage: convert or boost the element your element wheel says the zone is weak to (weakness hits deal ×1.25) — pairs with artifact sets like Storm Quaver or Fury Brand.
The builds guide shows how cards, artifacts and grimoires fit into a complete loadout.
Beginner guides' #1 card mistake is selling cards you "don't need right now." Card removal (Weaver NPC) makes cards reusable, so a card you dismiss at level 20 may be exactly what your endgame build needs. Collect first, evaluate later.
Official source: card values and the 258-card database are maintained on the SpiritVale Wiki (data v0.20.4; card pool grows with patches).
