Drop Rate Issue

We'd like to apologize for the issue described below.

Between 10:30 p.m., Jun 30–7:30 p.m., Jul 1 (JST), a technical issue occurred in which item drop rates under 1% could be raised to 1% using the shop skill Boost to Item Drop Rates.

There was no effect on drop rates for items in chests collected by raid battle discoverers and MVPs.


Due to this issue, players were able to collect more of these items than would be possible under normal circumstances.

The issue was fixed on 7:30, Jul 1 (JST). We are looking into exactly what happened, and will act further once we know.

Thank you for bearing with us.

257 accounts that collected gold bricks during this time were temporarily suspended to investigate.

In total, 271 gold bricks were collected . Up to 5 gold bricks were collected by a single account.

We will keep looking into this issue. Some accounts may be temporarily suspended during this time.

Modified: 10:42 p.m., Jul 2 (JST)

As a token of our apologies, these items will be sent to all people who played before 11:59 p.m., Jul 2 (JST).

∙ 1 10-part draw ticket
∙ 1000 crystals
∙ 3 elixirs
∙ 3 soul balms

Pick them up from your crate within 72 hours.
These items are scheduled to be sent out after 12 midnight, Jul 3 (JST).


If a gold brick was removed from your account, you can get another one by repeatedly playing a quest that drops gold bricks. The number of plays necessary is proportional to the drop rate, so this could take close to 10,000 plays.



No gold bricks were removed from the twelve accounts that got gold bricks as discoverer or MVP without using shop skills.



Play counts are totaled once a week, starting after 10:30 p.m., Jun 30 (JST).
Drop rates are influenced by the use of shop skills, crew supports, auras, and skills.
The number of plays for limited-time quests, such as story-event quests, carries over to the next event.
We can't answer questions about gold brick drop rates for specific quests or players.


These items will be sent to players whose accounts were temporarily suspended.

∙ 100 crystals
∙ 3 elixirs
∙ 3 soul balms
∙ 60 journey drops

Journey drops will be added directly to player accounts. These journey drops will not count toward stage progress.
