Iris Online Card Master Guide

Iris Online Card Master Guide by ramzaneko

*To those still stuck at level 12/70, please read: You need a level 10 recipe. Tobias does indeed sell level 10 recipes. All of the recipes at the top of the list are material recipes, including a couple level 20 recipes. Keep going to right after them and you will see some level 10 card recipes. Good luck!

This guide is still a work in progress. I will be revising it greatly before OBT begins to make things more clear and adding much to it (including color and images).

Card Master Guide

Blood Types and Card Installation:

The cards made by Card Masters can be installed equipment with card slots to boost your stats. Equiqment slots have blood types that only accept cards of the properly corresponding blood types. The following equipment slot blood types will accept the following card blood types:
[]
A [A/O]
B [B/O]
AB [A/B/AB/O]
O [O]

In summary, blood type O cards can be installed into any equipment slot and AB slots can accept any type of card. A slots will accept A or O card, B will accept B or O cards and O will only accept O cards. AB cards can only be installed into an AB slot.

To install a card into an equipment slot, make sure the equipment you want to install the card into is unequiped. Select the General menu at the bottom right corner (symbolized by a star) and select CARD INSTALL. Once you see the card install window and your inventory, drag the equipment you want to install a card into over to the card install window. Drop it into the top box and the bottom boxes will show the card slots that the equipment item has. Drag the card you wish to install over the slot into which you wish to install it and drop it. Your card is installed and you can now reequip your equipment item and get a small stat boost from what you had before the the new cards installed.

Wearing Cards:
Unlike equipment slot cards, wearing cards are equipped directly to your character into a card wearing slot. To equip a wearing card, either double click it or drag it into the appropriate slot.

Wearing Card Slots

Beginner Card Master:
Once you complete the quest from Tobias to become a Card Master, you will be able to use your inscription skill to make both cards to insert into equipment slots and cards that your character can wear. This guide will give you a general overview on how to advance your Card Master level.

At Level 1 you will have the following recipes:
Blank Card
Wisdom Card I (O) [Wisdom +7]
HP I (O) Card [Stamina +7]

Leveling Inscription:
Each time you use a recipe, your Inscription card will gain a level (within the limits of the recipe). These beginner recipes will take you up to level 12.

To advance past level 12 you will need a level 10 inscription recipe. The only level 10 recipe I found when I was at this point was from Tobias.

The first couple of times you use an inscription of a new level, you will gain a few levels. The last few to a base 10 Inscription level will only level your Inscription 1 level at a time up to 2 past the 10 base (such as level 12, 22, 32, etc). After reaching level 20 to 22, you will need to use a level 20 recipe to get to level 30 so you can learn more advanced recipes. You will repeat this process over and over until you reach Inscription level 70 of 70. This is the maximum level of beginner Card Master.

The color of the recipe in your recipe list will indicate how many assistant skill levels you will gain for using it:

White = 0 level gain
Green = 1 level gain
Orange = 3 level gain

Aquiring New Recipes:

There are several ways to get new recipes.

1) Buy them from Tobias in the Trade dialog. Beginner recipes cost 20 coins and can take you up to level 70 Inscription. [Intermediate Recipes cost 40 coins]
2) Receive as monster drops. (The majority of my recipes I received as monster drops, many as gifts from friends and guild mates. You can also buy from some personal shops or the auction house)
3) Buy from the Battle Field vendors with battle field points.
4) Buy from medal exchange NPC (There are several ways to aquire medals, including: quests, completing wanted poster quests or buying from this NPC for 10k per old medal)

Intermediate Card Master:

Advancement Quest:
To advance past level 70 Inscription, you must pass Tobias’ Intermediate Card Master Quest. Tobias want’s you to make him an S Ability Wearing Card.

You can aquire this recipe from one of the Battle Field Vendor NPC’s for 700 Battle Field points.

This recipe has some prerequisite recipes to make (unless you buy the ingredients from someone else):

After Making the S Ability Wearing Card I, go to Tobias to exchange it and complete the quest advancement. Tobias will give you an Intermediate Card Master scroll to use. At this point you should be 70/70 Inscription level wise. After using the scroll, your max inscription level will go up to 200, placing you at 70/200. At this point, you basically need to repeat the same process that got you to level 70, just with more advanced recipes.

Tips Section:

Changing Cards in Equipment Slots:
Unlike wearing cards, which can be equiped/removed freely, equipment slot cards are permanent. Once a card is installed in an equipment item, it cannot be removed. It is possible to change cards though. You simple install a new card as you normally would, but install the new card over an old one. This does destroy the old card that is already in the equipment.

Gathering Fairy’s Powder:
Normally finding drops or buying Fairy’s Powder can be a long and slow or expensive process. The best way to gather Fairy’s Powder is to make dungeon runs. Fairy’s Powder is dropped with almost 100% rate if not 100% and you can also get Mass Fissure Dimension drops, which are required to make S Ability Wearing Card I for Intermediate Card Master advancement.

Magic Ink’s Essence:
While you can make Magic Ink’s Essence with the recipe acquired from the medal exchanger NPC, there is an easier way to get it. Magic Ink’s Essence is an annoying byproduct of making Magic Ink’s (of all colors). Magic Ink recipes have a 20% chance of creating Magic Ink’s Essence instead of your desired Magic Ink.

As you can see in the video in the reference section of this guide, I accidentally made several Magic Ink’s Essence while trying to produce various Magic Inks.

Card Master Videos:

Video 1/2 (0.5) – This video will be removed and replaced by a much better one once OBT is well underway. It was made in the last 30 minutes of CBT2 with no chance for retakes. The background music isn’t suppose to be there… Iris’s recorder just records all sound on the system. You will notice that my first 4 attempts at making Magic Inks resulted in Magic Ink’s Essence instead. That was part of the reason I was making 4 magic inks, but I also wanted a yellow magic ink to make an O slot card, so I had to run to Tobias.

Materials:

Items in orange are recommended to be kept in stock at the level of Assistant Skill the item is listed under. Normal colored materials below are only recommended to be kept in stock if you frequently make cards while not in town (while you do not need to stock up on them at the beginner level, I do recommend that you not sell any Magic Essence or Mass Fissure Dimensions that you find as you will need them later)

The Jeweler can be found on Shebuz Snowfield
