FAQ

Common questions answered: why averages don't match, two hints at once, missing combos, Records and tiers, practice bots and odds, accounts and copyright.

Q.Why is the average in the game slightly different from the average in the calculator's results?

The game drops the decimals when it shows an average. The calculator searches every total that could produce that displayed value (at least input × count and less than (input + 1) × count), so a combo card's exact average can have decimals, like 86,783.5. The displayed value is shown alongside it on the card's hint line.

Q.Can I enter two hints?

Yes — up to two, as long as they come from different groups. For example, one slot hint and one Gold hint, or Gold and Purple. Purple average and Purple total are in the same group, so they can't be combined. When you combine a slot hint and a color hint, the calculator runs a joint search in which collectibles belonging to both groups are shared by both averages.

Q.The combo that actually appeared isn't in the results.

Use [Report] at the top of the results to send in that match's collectibles. If the math checks out, it shows up right away in Records and on the result cards as "Report verified". If it was a rarity ×2 event match, turn on the [Gold rarity ×2] or [Purple rarity ×2] toggle and search again.

Q.Does the Combo Finder tell me every item on the board?

No. It only estimates the group the hint covers (for example, Gold collectibles). White, Green and Blue collectibles, and slot sizes no hint covers, can only be learned through silhouette and color reveals.

Q.Why register results in Records?

Because it builds up how often each combo actually appears under the same hint conditions. The next person sees this as the "Most frequent" sort and as odds on their results. Log a Match entries are used to calibrate the character win-rate, board value and collectible count stats, and the odds tables in Auction Practice.

Q.What are contribution tiers, and what do they unlock?

They are tiers you climb with your combined number of Records and Log a Match entries. At 100 you reach Red Tier (log the Red-rarity items from each match, the Purple/Gold/Red counts and the board value), and at 500 Diamond Tier (log Gold-rarity items and the collectible count); Emerald at 1,000 and Pendragon at 1,500 raise your weight in the practice odds tables. Your tier appears as a badge next to your nickname.

Q.Is the "win rate" in the stats the share of lots won?

No — the lot-win rate and the win rate are tracked separately. The lot-win rate is how often that character took the storehouse; the win rate is how often a won lot turned a profit (Earnings > 0). Grades appear only once a character has 30 or more won lots.

Q.How close are Auction Practice boards to the real game?

Counts per color, board value and collectible odds are tuned to real records. The baseline is real data gathered through Log a Match (600+ Pearl matches), and layouts are checked against screenshots submitted to Board Reading. Bot bids, however, come from trained models and rules, so they don't bid like people.

Q.How do the practice bots behave?

Characters are drawn by their real pick rates, and some bots follow a Playbook round plan. If there is a Playbook article that character can use, the bot may follow its round plan (Devices, items and when to fold); otherwise it bids on its own judgment. The settlement screen shows which bot followed which strategy.

Q.Do I need to sign in?

Browsing, calculating and practicing all work without signing in. That covers the Combo Finder, Snipe Calculator, Collectibles Index, viewing Records and Practice mode. Registering real results, Log a Match, Challenge mode records, Private mode and strategy proposals (Write your own) need a Google or Discord sign-in.

Q.Is this a site for buying and selling game items?

No. It is a fan-made tool that calculates hints for the in-game auction minigame and collects records. It has nothing to do with real-money trading of game items or accounts.

Q.Who owns the collectible images and data?

The rights to collectible names, prices and images belong to the game's makers. This is an unofficial fan site that organizes in-game information, and anything is taken down immediately at the rights holder's request. Details are on the About page (Korean).

Q.Why are there ads?

To cover server and database costs. Ads appear in only two places: below the Combo Finder results and below the Records stats. The site doesn't aim to earn more than its running costs.

Q.Is the site available in English, Japanese and Chinese?

Yes — add /en, /ja or /zh to the start of the address path. Pick a language from the globe in the header and it will be remembered. Collectible names use the official in-game names, shown with the Korean original.

Q.Can I add it to my phone's home screen?

Yes — tap [Add to Home Screen] in the footer to install it like an app. On iOS, use "Add to Home Screen" in the Share menu.
