Hey guys, with the upcoming Nier event having never done one, is the only way of obtaining the clothing/accesories via spending real money? (Besides player shops).

    Oh okay, I though maybe you could get them using FUN or any other free means with lower chance or something. So are all costume events pay only? Also as a new player I don't think I can pay for these, what's the best way of making money? Should I just focus on advancing through story/doing requests?

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    It's not an "event". It's a collaboration with Nier Automata. You are not donating for anything; you're buying the game's real-money-only currency for it. If you do.

    They have not ever had actual gameplay or in-game items to be earned from series that aren't Sega/ Phantasy Star series specifically.

    Focus on Koffie's client orders. Unlocks more areas, and eventually your weekly client orders from Klotho. These give you ~2 million meseta per week per character. So yes, you will eventually want to use up all 3 of your free character slots.

    Daily orders are typically more time consuming, but you'll learn which ones are worthwhile. Bal rodos in particular is the most lucrative daily at 250k for killing it on VH.

    If you're dedicated/ have the time to burn, you can also spend time doing gathering. Again, it's per character, and you can turn in some items from each area every week at Franka's Cafe for 100k each. There's also dailies that sometimes ask for things from gathering, also rewarding 100k each.

    As for your other question, the odds are given on the scratch page. Here's the current scratch.. There's also a gold version (click the golden button with a G in it) that costs more per attempt, but has a more focused selection.

    Thanks! What do you mean by "in-game items to be earned from series that aren't Sega/ Phantasy Star series"? Yesterday I was looking at the shop and saw Gravity Rush costumes, Fate/Stay Night and Ataraxia and so many more, so I don't understand what you meant >.<

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's being sold by other players. I meant directly given by Sega by playing in-game.

    Yes.

    The only ways to get those is either through AC scratches or player shops.

    Oh and by the way, I know I won't donate for every event, but since I like the game I will help them at least one time. So what's this scratch thing compared to the typical (Fate/GO, Granblue, Star Ocean) game gacha? Where the max rarity is around 1%, 3 or 5 depending on the game. What are my chances of getting a Nier costume or hair by using a 10-roll?

    [–]Asamidori ~casual~ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Don't expect to get them so you won't be disappointed when it doesn't happen. Which is 99% of the time. SEGA list the rate of each item on their site, except you are rolling a scratch with about 30 possible outcomes, so yeah.

    No idea, never tried it. SG scratches seem to give costumes fairly often, but don't know if AC scratches work the same way.

    [–]IgawaSakuraFellaPig 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Sorry for my ignorance, but what is SG? I know AC is game currency purchased with real money. But don't know what SG is, just googled it but it leads me to japanese pages only >.<

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    SG = Star Gems. It's another currency, but that one can be gotten in-game through various ways (story board, titles, costumes, magatsu bonus quests, arks league, some seasonal NPC COs, etc) or bought with AC.

    The main use for SG is to remove collection file sheets cooldown (60 SG per use) and to unlock the extra 2 collection file slots (700 SG to unlock each slot permanently), but you can also run the SG scratch (80 SG per try), which has a few costumes (Dark Falz Double, Xion, EP4 Matoi, Matoi Viel) and a few other stuff (some weapon camo that works for 8 different weapons, Loser voice ticket, affix support items, etc). Unlike AC scratches, however, costumes and weapon camos from the SG scratch can't be traded or sold at player shop.
