The '''Familiar System''' is a feature that allows you to obtain special cards from monsters, make them stronger, and gain special bonuses while summoning them. '''Roro the Familiar Manager''', a sentient handheld device, is given to every character by a '''Mysterious Man''' and his Mysterious Aide, to research and track all of the cards you collect. Many of the monsters you hunt will have a chance of dropping a Familiar Card (also known as "familiars") when defeated, and consuming these cards will allow you to summon that monster to assist you in battle, while also providing 2 random potential bonuses. At first, you will only be able to summon one familiar at a time, but you will be able to unlock two additional summoning slots as you progress.


'''Crusader Codex''' is essentially a book which every player is given that catalogs monsters. When the Crusader Codex is added to the game, monsters begin dropping "cards" that contain detailed information on them. Each individual monster's card can be collected only once. After collecting the card, the monster's slot in the book lights up and its standing, walking, attack, buff, knockback, and death sprites become viewable. The monster's level, HP and MP values will be displayed, as well as its type and habitat. A complete drop list is also, with certain items (such as event items) omitted.
As you collect more and more familiars, you will start to fill up '''Familiar Badges''', which work as special sets dedicated to each area. Each set can give special bonus stats that will apply to your character (up to a certain amount at a time). Completing 1 Familiar Badge will unlock the '''2nd Familiar Slot''', and completing 10 will unlock the '''3rd Familiar Slot'''.


Though some cards will continue to drop after the first card is found, picking up more will not do anything other than give you a message saying you can't pick up more than one.
Some monsters and bosses have familiar cards that are only obtainable through Familiar Booster Packs in the Cash Shop.
 
'''Maplestory v.168''' Cards besides the ones belonging to the Zipangu and Showa Town sets no longer drop.
 
Cards in the book are sorted by relative level range. There are tabs on the side of the book which allow one to skip from level range to level range. The tabs on the book's side are color coded, and the colors match those in the background of the cards which appear in that section. A Trixter, for example, has a green background on its card, and the tab under which it appears is also green. The only exception is cards from Boss monsters, as these appear in a different tab, called "Skull Tab" and has an image of a skull. Certain event monsters also appear as special cards.
 
Monsters found in Maple Island, Victoria Island, Ossyria, Zipangu and Party Quests drop cards. In certain occasions, you might have already killed a monster before the launch of Crusader Codex and the ability to enter the place to get the card is blocked because of your level range, you may get it through an NPC (for example, in Mushroom Kingdom, the Secretary of Magic allows you to get the card if you had already completed the quest before hand).
 
==Card Sets==
Sets allow you to get stat bonuses by obtaining cards that the set requires. For example, the set '''Victoria Island Friends''' requires you to get Snail, Blue Snail, Red Snail and Shroom to be able to get the set. After getting the cards, you can select the set to be activated in which you will be able to get the bonus as stated.
