The trick to Gach is wasting more money than the next guy. It's a "get rich quick" scheme. Zipangu Gach outputs dark scrolls, which is pretty steady, but people gach in other places as well, hoping for the ultra-rare goodies. Most of these goodies can be gotten by conserving money and looking for a deal. I personally got my lvl 130 Ele Wand for 230 million. It IS below average, but come on, 230 mil for a lvl 130 Ele Wand? People spend how much gaching for those?
Let's say you have 60k NX to spend. You can spend these 60k on 70 gach tickets, or you can make six APQ mules, and buy three 20k weddings, and marry all of them to each other. APQ demands much more patience than Gach, but even if you get lucky with those 70 tickets, with those 6 married characters you can APQ a total of 12 times a day every day forever! Let's say for the moment you get 1 onyx apple per 2 trips, so 6 Onyx Apples a day. If you sell the Apples for 2.8 mil, that's 16.8 mil per DAY APQing. Selling Apples is easier than selling scrolls because you simply sell in bulk to the Horntailing squads. And no matter how lucky you get with 70 gach tickets, at 16.8 mil per day APQing, you WILL exceed the profits through Gach tickets. Moreover, while Gach is a bottomless hole, and you flush money over and over again, the APQ is PERMANENT. Those 60k will be all you'll ever really spend there.
I don't think there's any real counterargument to this. Most of my friends that merchant reported that APQ was a major factor in helping them make their billions. Gach is simply a quicker easier buck, but you'll end up spending more. So that's the trick -- use your NX wisely and don't Gach.
