Card value in ROZ differs from classic RO databases — outdated card tier lists will mislead you.
Last updated: September 3, 2026
Buffed Forgotten Cards
Cards that were ignored in classic RO received stat bumps to become viable budget or mid-tier inserts. Re-check card effects instead of assuming old trash labels.
Adjusted Boss Cards
Cards that dominated classic metas were toned down to protect PvM and PvP balance while remaining useful.
Slot Reassignments
Some cards moved between weapon, armor, and accessory slots. A card you remember on weapons may now belong on accessories — read slot tags carefully.
- Do not import iRO card tier lists wholesale — verify each card's ROZ tooltip.
- Budget builds benefit most from rebalanced low-tier cards.
- Boss card farming remains valuable but no longer guarantees best-in-slot power spikes.
- Surplus cards you will never socket can feed the Rune system — keep junk cards until you understand dismantle value.
