Summoning

Summoning is one the methods for players to obtain Food Souls and is the game's core "gacha" mechanic.

## Overview

Each Summon has the option of summoning 1 or 10 Food Souls at once. A single summon costs  Soul Core x1, while ten consecutive summons cost  Soul Core x10. There are functionally no differences between ten individual single summons and ten consecutive summons, and the system does not differentiate or incentivize one or the other.

If the player has insufficient  Soul Core, a request will prompt with an exchange rate to convert  Jade x180 to  Soul Core x1, along with an equivalent amount of  Speedup Oil.

Below is a table showing the rate at which Food Souls of a specific rarity appears in a summon.

### Pity

The summoning system also features mechanics that are colloquially referred to as **pity systems**:

1. After 50 total summons without an SSR Food Soul, the drop rate of SSR Food Souls will increase with every future summon. The rates will be:

* 51~60 summons, increase by 2% every time.
* 61~70 summons, increase by 3% every time.
* 71~80 summons, increase by 5% every time.
* As such, the SSR Food Soul rate will be 4% at the 51st summon, 22% at the 60th summon, 52% at the 70th summon, and ~100% (guaranteed) at the 80th summon.

2. After summoning an SSR Food Soul from any Summon Circle, the drop rate of SSR Food Souls returns to 2%.

3. The summon count and increased rate is carried over across different summon banners.

4. In certain future Event Summons, a mechanic colloquially referred to **hard pity** was implemented where 240 summons on the Event Summon will guarantee you the respective Featured SSR Food Souls. If there are multiple Featured SSR Food Souls on different Event Summons at the same time, summons on either Event Summon will count towards the hard pity count and you will be able to pick either Featured SSR Food Soul. The hard pity count does not carry over to future Event Summons.

5. From 九奏碧霄 onwards, a mechanic was implemented for Limited Summons where each summon on the Event Summons awards Fate Points (缘分值). Fate Points (缘分值) can be used to buy the Featured Limited SSR and non-Limited SSR Food Souls for 300 Fate Points (缘分值) and 240 Fate Points (缘分值) respectively. It can also be used to buy a Permanent SSR Food Soul Selector (自选常驻御品食魂礼包), an Event SSR Food Soul Selector (自选活动御品食魂礼包), and a random Permanent SSR Food Soul (随机常驻御品食魂).

## Summon Overview

**Featured Food Souls** have a **Drop Rate Up** and are more likely to appear than others.

* When a SSR Food Soul appears in a summon, there is a 50% chance that said Food Soul will be the Featured Food Soul(s).
* When a SR Food Soul appears in a summon, there is a 25% chance that said Food Soul will be the Featured Food Soul(s).
* When a R Food Soul appears in a summon, there is a 25% chance that said Food Soul will be the Featured Food Soul(s).

### Regular Summon

The Regular Summon or Permanent Pool does not feature any Food Souls and includes all previously introduced Food Souls, except for Limited Food Souls. It is not recommended for players to summon here at all.

### Wishful Summon

Wishful Summon replaces the Regular Summon for new players. It is limited to 20 summons for each account; once this limit is reached, the summon can no longer be accessed.

A single SSR Food Soul is guaranteed within any of your first 20 summons within the Wishful Summon, making it a good option for new players to start with.

### Special Summon

Special Summons feature SSR Food Souls already from the permanent pool. The game uses the term Limited Time Summon, but the term "Special" will be used to avoid confusion with Summons featuring Limited Food Souls.

### Timed Summon

Timed Summons feature new non-event SSR Food Souls. After the Timed Summon is over, the Food Souls are added to the permanent pool immediately.

### Event Summon

Event Summons are made available alongside the events and feature the new Food Souls introduced in the respective content. After the Event Summon is over, the Food Souls are only added to the permanent pool during their next rerun, after ~6 months.

### Limited Summon

Limited Summons are similar to Event Summons. Unlike Event Summons however, the Food Souls will not be added to the permanent pool. After summoning a specific number of times on the Limited Summon, you can receive rewards such as Seasoning Keepsakes, Featured SSR Food Soul Keepsakes, and Soul Cores.
