A card is a special item available on Habitica in website mode for purchase in the Market for 10 gold. Players can buy cards and send them to any of their party members, including themselves. Cards bought must be instantly sent; if not, the purchase will not be successful. This means that cards cannot be stored for later use, but you can keep cards that you have received if (and only if!) they are closed with the "x" instead of "OK". Cards cannot be sold. Players can bulk send cards to party members using the Party & Guild Data Tool.

Buying A Card[]

Cards can be purchased for 10 gold, under the Shops > Market section (direct link). The selection of standard cards includes the following:

  • Birthday Card
  • Congratulations Card
  • Get Well Card
  • Good Luck Card
  • Greeting Card
  • Thank-You Card

There are also two seasonal cards:

  • Valentine Card
  • New Year's Card

Cards can also be pinned, making them appear under your Rewards section, which makes it easier to purchase them. Pinning a card will also make it appear on the mobile app Rewards section. Card receivers get notified if they are users of the website, but they won't get a notification if they are using the mobile version, so it is recommended to send a message via party or private message when sending cards.(2020-04-01 confirmed)

At this time, cards can be purchased using the website, but not on the iOS apps. (See Features Across Clients.) See this section for how to buy cards on mobile apps.

Sending A Card[]

Players can send a card to their party members or themselves by clicking on the card in the Market, and then clicking on the "Select" button located at the right side of their display names. Upon choosing the card recipient, gold will be deducted with a notification similar to that when you purchase any gold-purchasable items. This means the card has been successfully sent.

Opening A Card[]

Received cards are located under Special, beside Transformation Items and Mystery Item Box

Notif greeting card

Cards notification is located at the top-most of your notification list.

Users will be notified when they have a card sent to them. Clicking this notification will direct you to the inventory. Otherwise, to open received Cards, a player can go to the inventory where the cards are listed under "Special". Clicking on a card opens it and will reveal a preset message, listed in the section below. Closing the card message by pressing (X) will keep the card in your inventory, along with the notification. Opening the card again might show a different preset message, though again limited to those listed below. On the other hand, clicking "OK" will remove the card entirely from your inventory.
