How Otakollect works

Everything the bot can do, the same as /help in Discord. Click any command to copy it.

Getting started

What Otakollect is and how to play

Otakollect is a character-collecting game: roll anime, manga, game and visual novel characters, claim the ones you love, and build the best collection in the server.

Quick start

/roll to roll a random character (10 rolls every 1 hour).

Click Claim when someone unclaimed shows up. You get one claim per round.

/daily for free Otaku Bucks (OB) every 20 hours.

/wish add the characters you're hunting for.

/harem and /profile to show off what you've got.

Pick a topic to learn more.

Rolling and claiming

/roll, the claim window, resets and /timers

/roll shows a random character. You get 10 rolls every 1 hour, counted from your first roll.

Claiming

If nobody owns them, a Claim button stays open for 15 seconds. Everyone who clicks is entered and one winner is drawn at random, so it's never a reaction race. People who wished for that character get 3x the odds.

You get one claim per round. Everyone's claim resets together every 3 hours (America/Los_Angeles time, starting at midnight). Claiming pays you the character's value in OB.

/timers shows when your rolls and claim come back.

The roll pool starts with the most popular characters and reaches deeper for every character claimed, so rarer faces appear as collections grow. Rolling a character you already own raises your bond with them.

Wishlist

Get pinged for characters you want, with better odds

/wish add <name> puts a character on your wishlist (up to 10; the Literature Club adds more).

  • You're pinged whenever someone rolls one of your wishes.
  • Wishers get 3x the odds when the claim winner is drawn.
  • Astronomy Club gives you a chance to roll your own unclaimed wishes.
  • A Wishing Star item makes your next roll one of your wishes.

/wish list shows yours, /wish remove takes one off.

Collection and profile

/harem, /gallery, /info, /profile and tiers

/harem [user]: someone's characters with tier and value, 15 per page.

/gallery [user]: flip through their characters one card at a time.

/info <name>: look up any character: series, tier, value, rank and owner.

/profile [user]: collection breakdown, OB, lifetime stats, treasure and highlights.

Tiers go from S (the most popular characters) down to D. Higher tiers are worth more OB, and bonds raise a character's value further.

/divorce <name> releases a character back into the pool. It only pays OB back if you're in the Drama Club (25% of their value per rank).

Pictures and GIFs

Browse pictures, pick one for your claim, add your own

/images view <name> flips through a character's pictures and GIFs (/info has the same buttons).

  • Own them? Pick which picture your claim shows everywhere.
  • Add your own with /images add <name> <link>, using a direct link (Imgur works well). It's added right away for the owner; otherwise an admin approves it first.
  • Sensitive pictures only show in servers with 18+ characters turned on.

Rolls show a random picture unless the owner picked one.

Otaku Bucks

Earning and spending OB, /daily and /balance

Otaku Bucks (OB) are the game's currency.

Earning

  • Claiming pays the character's value.
  • /daily every 20 hours: anywhere from 1 to 5,000 OB, with a rare jackpot.
  • Fan tips when others roll your Friend-level characters.
  • Visits from Close-level characters on your /daily.
  • Treasure chests that drop under rolls.

Spending

  • Club ranks (/clubs), hangouts (/hangout).

/balance [user] checks a wallet, /give ob sends OB to a friend.

Bonds

Levels, unlocks, /hangout and nicknames

Rolling a character you own, or taking them on a /hangout, raises your bond. Every level adds +10% to their value.

1 Acquaintance: they recognize you on rolls

2 Nicknames with /bond nickname

3 Friend: 5% fan tips when others roll them

5 Close: they may visit with a gift on /daily

7 Partner: double claim odds for their series

10 Red String of Fate

/hangout <name> costs OB and works once every 20 hours per character. /bond info <name> shows your progress. Bonds reset if the character changes hands.

Clubs

Spend OB on ranks that give lasting perks

Clubs are where your OB goes long term. Each has four ranks, and every rank adds to its perk.

Literature: more wishlist slots

Astronomy: chance to roll your own wishes

Track: more OB from claims, better claim odds

Student Council: more rolls per hour

Gacha: better /daily odds

Occult: /resetclaim to claim again

Drama: /divorce pays back part of a character's value

Art: customize your /harem and /profile (/customize)

Council, Gacha and Occult unlock after ranking up the others. /clubs shows prices, your ranks and requirements; /join <club> buys the next rank.

Treasure

Chests under rolls, rare items, /items and /use

About 8% of rolls drop a treasure chest. The roller gets a few seconds to open it first, then anyone can grab it before it vanishes.

Wooden · Silver · Gold · Prismatic: better chests pay more OB and are more likely to hold an item, and a rarer one.

Item rarities: Common · Uncommon · Rare · Epic · Legendary · Mythic

Items do things like extra rolls (), a lucky /daily (), a second claim (), a guaranteed S-tier roll () or a roll only you can claim ().

/items shows what you have and what's active; /use <item> uses one.

Gifts and trading

/give and /trade with other players

/give character <user> <name>: give someone one of your characters (asks to confirm).

/give ob <user> <amount>: send Otaku Bucks.

/trade <user> opens a trade window for both of you:

  • add characters and OB to your side
  • both players accept to complete it
  • changing either offer resets both acceptances

Traded and gifted characters' bonds reset to zero.

Awakening and expeditions

Spirit Shards, /shrine, /awaken and /expedition

Spirit Shards power up your characters. They can't be traded or bought.

/shrine: once every 20 hours flip 5 hidden tiles for shards. A torii gives one more flip and a blessing doubles your next shards.

/expedition send: send up to 3 characters on a 2 to 12 hour trip. They bring back shards, a little OB and sometimes an item. Higher tiers, bonds and awakenings bring more, and a party from the same series gets a nakama bonus. Collect with /expedition check.

/achievements pay shards too.

/awaken <name> spends shards on five perks, five levels each:

Aura more value · Charisma bigger fan tips · Fate better odds to roll your wishes · Devotion cheaper hangouts · Fortune more treasure chests

Max all five and the character is Awakened: a mark on their card and +10% value. Awakenings are yours: a new owner starts fresh, and they return if you get the character back.

Games

/quiz, /auction and /achievements

/quiz: the bot shows a character's picture and the first person to type their name in chat wins OB.

  • First or last names work, and small typos are forgiven.
  • A series hint and a letter hint appear as time runs down; each one lowers the prize.
  • Winning rounds in a row adds up to +25%.
  • Pick Easy, Normal, Hard or Mixed, and up to 10 rounds for a scoreboard at the end.

/auction: a hidden, unclaimed character goes up for bids. Hints appear as the clock runs down, and the highest bidder pays OB and keeps them without using a claim.

/achievements: milestones that pay Spirit Shards.

Harder quiz characters pay more. Games are for fun first: your first 10 wins each day across all games pay a little OB, and after that they still count for bragging rights.

Server admins

/settings, /images review and /admin tools

These need the Manage Server permission.

/settings view: the server's settings.

/settings pool [size]: how many top characters rolls start from (default 10,000).

/settings adult <on/off>: allow characters only in 18+ series.

/images review: approve or reject pictures players added.

/admin: give OB or characters, set bonds and club ranks, reset timers, or roll a specific character. Admin rolls don't use rolls or drop treasure.
