Gacha Crystal is an item in ARK: Survival Ascended.
How it works
- Source: Gacha (drops it when one of its 3 digestion pools reaches 1,000)
- Meals: a tamed Gacha that is not ridden, has no target and is not already eating takes up to 20 items from the inventory stack worth the most food
- Time between meals: 20 s × a random 1 to 1.5 × 1 to 1.1 (lower with more food levels) ÷ mood factor
- Food value per item: Element 64, Snow Owl Pellet 40, Element Ore 32, Metal 20, Stone 8, Flint 4, Wood 2, Thatch 1, any ammo 40, other consumables 2, other resources 1, any other item 1
- Structures, weapons and armor: 80 × √(crafting XP × the quality's crafting XP multiplier) per item
- No food value: eggs, Gacha Saddle, Gacha Crystal
- Pool fill per meal: 25 to 27.5% of the meal's food value (lower with more stamina levels) to each pool, plus that amount × mood factor to the active pool, which is picked at random for each meal
- Snow Owl Pellet (premium food): eaten first; after a meal of it the Gacha keeps eating its other items meal after meal until the next crystal drops, and that crystal's items come from the premium list
- Mood factor: 2 ÷ (1 + (1 − mood)²), so 1 at mood 0 and 2 at mood 1
- Crystal quality: active pool ÷ 1,000 × mood factor × (1 + crafting skill), at least 0.25
- Resources on offer: 6 per Gacha, set when it spawns: 3 common, 2 uncommon and 1 rare (99%) or Element Dust (1%); the selected resource is always produced, with none selected one of the 6 at random

- Uncommon (base 20): Crystal, Silica Pearls, Oil, Blue Crystalized Sap, Congealed Gas Ball, Clay, Silk
- Rare (base 10): Obsidian, Organic Polymer, Metal, Sulfur, Black Pearl, Red Crystalized Sap, Sap
- Very rare (base 60): Element Dust
- Resource amount: base × crystal quality (quality counted from 0.25 to 3)
- Items instead of resources: tamed 1% at crystal quality 1 or less, rising evenly to 30% at quality 6; wild 0.1% to 10%
- Item lists: normal = structure 45.5%, armor 27.3%, weapon 27.3%; premium = armor 50%, weapon 50%
