| Tier odds | Common 90%, Uncommon 8%, Rare 2% |
| Card game shelf | 5% of Common, 10% of Uncommon and 15% of Rare draws (about 1 pull in 18) |
| Machines | 12 towns, listed below |
| Bag space | A free slot in Equip, Use, Set-up and Etc |
Gachapon machines hand out a random prize for one Gachapon Ticket: potions, scrolls, equipment, chairs, mastery books and more. There is a machine in a dozen towns and each has its own prize list, plus a shared list that every machine adds in. This page explains how a pull works, the exact odds and where to find the machines; the full prize list of every machine is on its own page.
How to play
- Get a Gachapon Ticket. They are sold in the Cash Shop, which you reach through the Anonymous Merchant in the Free Market; see Cash Shop. In the Monster Game Arcade parlour, Naoko also trades a ticket for 25,000 pachinko balls.
- Make sure you have at least one free slot in each of your Equip, Use, Set-up and Etc item tabs. The machine checks this before it takes your ticket and, if any tab is full, asks you to make room.
- Talk to the Gachapon machine and answer Yes when it asks whether you want to use your ticket. (Without a ticket the machine only answers questions about itself: what Gachapon is, where tickets are sold and what your chances are.)
- The machine spends one ticket and tells you what you won. Potions come in stacks of 100; everything else comes one at a time.
A Remote Gachapon Ticket (also from the Cash Shop, 105 VX each, 11 for 1,050 VX, 35 for 3,150 VX) works the same way but lets you choose one of ten machines from anywhere: Henesys, Ellinia, Perion, Kerning City, Sleepywood, the Mushroom Shrine, Showa Spa (men's), Showa Spa (women's), New Leaf City or the Nautilus. The Ludibrium and El Nath machines can only be played in person.
The odds
Every ticket does two draws:
- Tier. Common 90%, Uncommon 8%, Rare 2%.
- Prize. 5% of Common draws, 10% of Uncommon draws and 15% of Rare draws come from the card game prize shelf (see below). Every other draw picks from the machine's own list for that tier together with the shared list below, every prize equally likely, so a prize that appears in both lists is more likely.
Most machines have no Rare prizes of their own, only the shared ones; the Mushroom Shrine and El Nath machines add a few.
Whenever a ticket pays an Uncommon or Rare prize, everyone in the game sees a line in their chat such as Name : got a(n) Item from the Henesys Gachapon.
If you talk to a machine without a ticket and ask "What are my chances?", it tells you the tier odds and how many prizes each tier holds. Its answer also names the card game prize shelf and how many prizes each of its tiers holds. The Cash Shop also shows the odds before you buy a ticket.

The card game prize shelf
Every machine also draws from a shelf of prizes that once came from the Maple card game: potions and buffs, forging materials, equipment, a chair and five pets. A share of each tier's draws comes from the shelf: 5% of Common, 10% of Uncommon and 15% of Rare draws, about 1 pull in 18 overall. Inside the shelf every prize is equally likely. Ginger Ale, Power Elixir, Ridley's Scroll of Defense, Stirge Signal and T-1337 Supercharger come in stacks of 100; everything else comes one at a time.
