The Card Remover NPC allows players to safely remove cards that have been compounded onto their equipment. This service is useful if you want to reuse your cards or gear. However, there is a risk of failure, which could result in the destruction of either the cards, the item, or both.

1. Location You can find the Card Remover NPC (Wise Old Woman) in Prontera Inn at coordinates (28, 73).

2. Cost of Removal To remove cards from your item, the NPC will charge:

1. A base fee of 200,000 Zeny.
2. An additional 25,000 Zeny for each card compounded on the item.
3. You will also need the following items:
   1. 1 Star Crumb
   2. 1 Yellow Gemstone

3. Card Removal Process When you talk to the Card Remover NPC, follow these steps:

1. The NPC will ask if you want to remove cards. Select “Yes, it does.”
2. You will then choose the item from which you want to remove the cards.
3. The NPC will display how many cards are compounded on the item and the total cost for the removal process.
4. Make sure you have the required Zeny and items before proceeding.

4. Success or Failure

1. Success: If the card removal is successful, the cards and the item will be returned to you intact.
2. Failure: If the removal fails, there are three possible outcomes:
3. Total Failure: Both the item and the cards are destroyed.
4. Partial Failure: Either the cards or the item is destroyed, based on your choice during the process.
5. Harmless Failure: The removal fails, but both the item and the cards remain intact.

5. Choosing What to Protect

1. During the process, you will be asked to choose whether you want to prioritize protecting the cards or the item:
2. Protect the item: If the process fails, the item will remain, but the cards may be destroyed.
3. Protect the cards: If the process fails, the cards will remain, but the item may be destroyed.

6. Requirements Before attempting to remove cards, ensure that:

1. You have enough Zeny.
2. You have a Star Crumb and a Yellow Gemstone in your inventory.
3. You are not carrying too many items (check your weight limit).

The Card Remover NPC is an essential tool if you want to reuse powerful cards or free up equipment for new cards. Be mindful of the risks involved, and choose wisely whether to protect your item or your cards.
