1. What exactly is the mesos:NX conversion rate these days? I'd check the guide, but I think it's kind of outdated... 2. About how many Gachapon tickets do you have to use before you can expect some profit? I'm kind of afraid if I go with only a few tickets I won't have much of a chance to get anything valuable. Also, is it safer to go Shrine or NLC with the new upped rates? Thanks to anyone who can answer these!

1) usually its 1:4 or 1:5 2) its all about luck

1) im pretty sure it is now 1m for 4k NX 2)i) 10+ to gacha anywhere, people say you cna never have enoghu to be safe with NLC, but say 30-35+ for NLC gacha. ii) Shrine is ALOT safer, as you are more likely to get a decent scroll and not many dodgy equips/pots comapred to NLC. But if you are rich (not gonig to flame you) then maybe NLC is better because you mgiht spend a bit, but you will eventually make it back after getting a white scroll etc.

1.) The meso-selling sites have thrown this pretty out of whack. In Bera, the rate most recent before the inflation was 1k/5mil. 2.) This all depends. You don't really have to invest anything in Gachapon if you're not entirely comfortable. You need to understand that you're gambling here, and that you're not guaranteed anything at all. A better option for you, starting out, would be to complete the profitable scroll quests available to you. If you've already done them and need more money, create a mule and do them again there. Gachapon isn't stable enough to rely upon when you're starting out. In the end, it's just a good way to have a quick surge when you've already got a good foundation. Although Mushroom Shrine has a better median range of scrolls and whatnot that come out of it, NLC will land you the truly desirable items that come with a massive lump some of meso (although it's harder to get them).

I would go with NLC, seeing all the white scrolls now. Don't do anything weird like sleepy though, that got me chit

1. Usually 1k NX : 4Mill mesos 2. Gachapon is extremely random. However you'll need atleast 11 Gacha Tickets(maybe more). Shrine is still safer, yet NLC is becoming worth the tickets, because of the new rate for getting a White Scroll from a NLC gachapon. I would recommend you go at Shrine if ur getting 11Tickets and at NLC with more than 20 Tickets. Also if I were to gacha ATM i'll go to NLC no matter what(i know i am not gonna get that much of a profit but getting those Beast Jackpots, is awesome).

1)In scania i've seen 1:6, 1:10, 1:5, and 1:7 2)You'd need more than like 20 gach tix to get some nice profits(unless you get something good before those 20), I'd go with Shrine since gach is all about luck and I never got anything good there. :P
