Warning: Time Gated Content

Gobbie Mystery Boxes are random item reward systems players may partake in.

Starting out

You are given an initial 50 points and gain 10 points per (real life) day (accrued at JP midnight) automatically after you have spoken to any of the Goblin NPCs at least once. There are additional Dial Keys that are obtained via various means which allow you to open special dials without using daily tally. Be sure to look at the Dial Keys page for further details.

  • Note: Characters that are less than 45 days old (Earth time) are not eligible to participate in the illustrious Gobbie Mystery Box.
  • Note: There is a hard limit of 50,000 points. Once you reach 50,000 you're in a "use it or lose it" position.

To begin, speak to any of the Goblin NPCs listed below:

Spending Daily Tally Points

Items are acquired by choosing the "Open the box and profit" option. You will then chose dials one through five. Dials 1 thru 5 each expend 10 points, and can be opened as many times as you want as long as you have enough points to spend on them. Each will give you an item based on their description class:

Dial 1 = Materials
Dial 2 = Food
Dial 3 = Medicine
Dial 4 = Sundries 1 (Gives items such as ninja tools, ammo)
Dial 5 = Sundries 2 (Gives items such as fish, bait, lures, and fishing rods)

There is one additional dial called "Special dial" which expends 50 daily tally points. This dial can only be opened once per day, resetting at Japan Midnight. The items from this dial range across the whole gamut of possibilities, from a pebble to RareExclusive items such as Commodore Gants -1 or Mulcibar's Scoria. The item that you get in return is very random, you may get junk medication or you may get a Beastly Shank. This is why it is called a "mystery box".

Trading Dial Keys

Items are also acquired by trading a Dial Key to the goblin standing next to the Gobbie Mystery Box.
