Right now in MTS I can usually find a 10ATK WG for 8-9K NX. Currently they sell in Windia for about 120mil. Say I had 1,000,000 NX Cash; what would yield more profit? Buying WG's or 1,000 Gachapon tickets? Mathematically which would yield more profit?

Umm.. approx 90M for 120M. That's 9 tickets. How lucky can you get with 9 tickets. I dunno a Helm acc and maybe a level 30 ryden?

People are realizing that gach isn't worth it, which is why they're making so many untradeable items now (chairs, mounts, shoulders, face accessories, etc)

TIGER TOENAIL@!@!@!@! OT: I'd say MTS but gach if you want to get lucky. Shield for WATK = 2x the price of wgs + some extra mil

The WGs are a much more intelligent, stable, and reliable method, consistently delivering a heafty sum of mesos to your inventory with no additional fee. BUT OMG WHAT IF YOU GOT LIEK 1000 WHITE SCROLLS

Do you guys think I can get 4 White Raccoon Masks from the Henesys Gachapon with 75 Coupons? If I can't make over 700mil with 75 Gachapon tickets then I'll just buy about 8-9 WG's and make like 960mil.

You have to keep in mind that Gach is relying entirely on luck. You could get 5 White Scrolls in a row with 5 tickets. Is it probable? Yes Is it likely to happen? Very extremely slim chance. There's no direct answer 'cause you could get lucky and make a fortune with 1000 tickets. Or you could end up with less then that. I personally don't enjoy gaching for profit 'cause that involves too much hassle with knowing prices for scrolls and you need a ton of use space and... it's just way too much effort.

gaching is only worth it if you're going for something YOU really want and it's untrade-able but never count on gach to make profit.

Gaching might be worth it if you had 1000 tickets. Out of so many, your bound to get somesing good. Atleast a chair or like 40 white scrolls :D WG's are way more stable though, since it isn't a gamble.

I'd say don't Gach, but Gachers add interesting items to the Free Market. Keep gaching! Who cares about meso return?

I was asking if it was statistically worth it to buy Gach instead of WG's. But thanks for the answers guys. I'll probably just buy WG's.
