Understanding Card Condition
Every card has its own story, and its condition is just one part of what makes it unique!
Learn about Karuta's five card conditions, how they affect your collection, and how you can improve a card's condition through upgrading.
01 Understanding Card Condition
Every card is dropped in one of five possible conditions, also called qualities.
| Condition | Stars | Drop Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Mint | ★★★★ | 10% |
| Excellent | ★★★☆ | 20% |
| Good | ★★☆☆ | 40% |
| Poor | ★☆☆☆ | 20% |
| Damaged | ☆☆☆☆ | 10% |
Condition and print rarity are separate. A Single Print can be Damaged, while a High Print can be Mint.
02 Checking Card Condition
▸ Viewing a card:
k!view <card code>kv <card code>Example: kv abc123
▸ Finding cards by condition:
k!collection quality:mintkc q:mintReplace mint with excellent, good, poor, or damaged to find cards of another condition.
Collection filters are covered in ♤ Viewing & Filtering Your Collection.
03 Why Condition Matters
Card condition can influence:
- Customization: Some features have quality requirements.
- Working: Quality contributes to a card's worker potential.
- Trading: Higher-quality cards may be more desirable.
- Upgrading: Cards below Mint can be improved.
Lower-quality cards can still be valuable because of their print, character, or artwork.
04 Comparing Card Quality Levels
The four cards above show how different card quality levels look, from Damaged through Mint.
- Original Quality: Poor
- Current Quality: Mint
Original quality remains unchanged and contributes to a worker's Purity.
