N-slot, Gold and Purple average-price hints and how they are calculated

Average-price devices — Purple, Gold, 2-slot and 9-slot averages
Average-price devices — Purple, Gold, 2-slot and 9-slot averages

The 6 hints as of the 1.4 update — Gold and Purple averages and totals, the new 2-slot average and the 9-slot average. Also the 1- and 3-slot averages removed in 1.4, proof the game rounds down, and how to combine two.

In one line

A hint is the average of its own group — decimals are cut off, and two hints from different groups can go in together

The 6 hints (as of 1.4)

In 1.4, 2 slot hints + 4 color hints — each gives the average or total of the collectibles in its group.

  • 2 slot hints: 2-slot and 9-slot average — the average price of collectibles of that slot size (any color). The 2-slot average is new in the 1.4 update.
  • 4 color hints: Gold average, Gold total, Purple average, Purple total — the average or sum of the prices of that color.
  • The 1-slot and 3-slot averages were removed in 1.4 (their devices are gone). The 4-slot average was removed after the 1.3 update.
  • Collectibles in each hint group: 2-slot 62 · 9-slot 9 · Gold 51 · Purple 50.

The game rounds averages down

The game rounds averages down, not to the nearest — 86,783.5 shows as 86,783.

  • The average the game shows is an integer with the decimals dropped.
  • The three cases below were confirmed with the 4-slot average back in 1.3. The rule is the same for every average hint.
  • Verified case ① 4-slot average 86,783 = Golden Arowana (111,111) + Blue and White Porcelain Vase (62,456). Sum 173,567, average 86,783.5 → shown as 86,783.Golden Arowana111,111Blue and White Porcelain Vase62,456
  • Verified case ② 4-slot average 7,354 = Clearblue Shell (356) + Universal Adapter (18,031) + Scale Pattern (3,677). Average 7,354.67 → shown as 7,354 (rounding would give 7,355).Clearblue Shell356Universal Adapter18,031Scale Pattern3,677
  • Verified case ③ 4-slot average 90,694 = 6 collectibles: Lotus C198 Record Player, Bunny Box, White Dragon King, Preserved Flower Wreath, Starshaker, Doodle Board. Average 90,694.5 → 90,694.Lotus C198 Record Player1,624Bunny Box7,222White Dragon King300,000Preserved Flower Wreath200,201Starshaker31,618Doodle Board3,502
  • Rechecking 611 registered results: of the 502 with a fractional part, 497 matched rounding down, and the 5 misses were all rarity ×2 event matches (they match once prices are doubled).
  • So the Combo Finder doesn't look for "average = input"; it finds every combo where input × count ≤ total < (input + 1) × count.

Entering two hints together

Hints from different groups combine, up to two — and a collectible in both groups counts toward both averages.

  • You can enter up to two hints from different groups: one slot hint (2-slot or 9-slot) · one of Purple average/total · one of Gold average/total. Purple average and Purple total can't be combined.
  • 8 collectibles are both Gold and 2-slot — enter the Gold average and the 2-slot average together and these 8 count toward both averages.
  • Two are Gold and 9-slot (Asahi Inori Figurine and Wheelchair Model).Asahi Inori Figurine30,264Wheelchair Model27,159

  • In that case the Combo Finder doesn't search the two sets separately: it runs a joint search in which both constraints share the quantity of the overlapping collectibles. Pairs with no overlap, like Purple + Gold, can also be combined.

What hints can't tell you

A hint covers only its own group — it can't rebuild the whole board.

  • A Gold average only yields candidate Gold line-ups. It does not reconstruct the whole lot.
  • White, Green and Blue collectibles that aren't 2 or 9 slots (1 or 3 slots, for example) are caught by none of the Combo Finder's 6 hints (Blue ones do count toward the Auctioneer Public Intel's Blue average and count, and the 1.4 Blue average device). You can only confirm them through silhouette and color reveals.
  • In a rarity ×2 event match, or when the Double Up! or Super Rush court condition applies, turn on the Combo Finder's [Gold rarity ×2] or [Purple rarity ×2] toggle. The values the game shows are already based on doubled prices, so enter them unchanged.
