Device Sets and Auction Assistants
Before each auction, you can select an Auction Assistant (free) and a Device Set (costs Gold Shells). Device Sets provide intel on collectibles' rarity, silhouette, and price. You can use one device per round.
Here are all Device Set costs:
| Rarity | Device Set | Cost (Gold Shells) |
|---|---|---|
| White | Basic General-Purpose | 2,000 |
| White | Basic Data | 2,000 |
| Green | Medium General-Purpose | 5,000 |
| Green | Medium Value | 5,000 |
| Green | Medium Quantity | 5,000 |
| Blue | Antique | 10,000 |
| Blue | Gem | 10,000 |
| Blue | Tech | 10,000 |
| Blue | Food | 10,000 |
| Blue | Daily Goods | 10,000 |
| Blue | Anomaly | 10,000 |
| Blue | Advanced General-Purpose | 20,000 |
| Purple | Premium General-Purpose | 50,000 |
| Purple | Premium Evaluation | 50,000 |
| Gold | Super Evaluation | 100,000 |
| Gold | Super Evaluation (higher tier) | 150,000 |
| Gold | Supreme | 200,000 |
Choose a device that matches the collectibles you expect to see. For example, if the auction features many antiques, the Antique device may reveal better intel.
Bidding Strategy and Safety Funds
Winning every round isn't always optimal. Sometimes passing on a low-value lot saves Gold Shells for better opportunities. Use the intel from devices to estimate the collectibles' revenue and bid accordingly.
If you run out of Gold Shells, use the Safety Funds option to claim 200,000 Gold Shells. This can be used up to five times per day. Additionally, displaying red rarity collectibles in your Collectible Warehouse generates passive Gold Shell income over time.
