Lost Ark: How to Register, Equip and Awaken a Card Deck

Register received cards and open Card Catalog

Steps

1. Right-click a regular card in character inventory to add it to Card Catalog. The registered collection is shared across the roster. [1]
2. Open Roster > Card Catalog in the bottom-right UI, or use Alt+C. [1]

Build and save the deck that activates its set effect

Each deck has up to six unique cards. In Equip, right-click or drag cards into slots; two or more cards from the same set activate set effects. Hover the magnifying glass to inspect set effects and read Current Set Bonus to see what is active. [1]

Steps

1. Click Save to apply the deck to this character. Only one deck can be active per character, and active decks can be viewed and changed in Character Info. [1]

Use duplicates and Card XP for awakening

Duplicate cards stack, and the catalog shows how many copies you own. When copies and Card XP meet the card’s listed Awakening target, use Enhance to Awaken it. Increasing Awakening levels unlocks additional set effects, while completed Books provide separate roster-wide benefits. [1]
