Short answer: gacha Here's a good thread to give you some idea: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/13405-tickets-nlc-gacha-11-490-000-million-nx.194883/ If you just joined MapleRoyals, personally I recommend selling APR first till you have 200-500m (20-50 APR = 62k-155k NX = 8-20 votes). That was what I did. In case you don't get back the money (NX 1:4 rate) from gacha, you won't be as sad, and you still have some money to get some scrolled basic gears to help you farming / grinding. I once spent 105 tickets at Mushroom Shrine with mostly junk scrolls, probably only worth less than 40m in total.
Gacha and so the risk I once gacha 140 tickets at NLC, didnt get any WS or good stonetooth and once i gacha 70 tickets and get 2 WS
