Editing Scouting (Gacha System)

Scouting is the means to get new characters and eidoi. Once in possession of a character, any subsequent summons of the character will be converted to "Memories," which are used for the proficiency system. These memories can either be used to upgrade a character's proficiency or be exchanged for ether via the [[Ether Exchange Shop]]. As for Eidoi, they are directly converted to ether. 

To see a list of past and current pick-up banners, see [[Banner History]]<nowiki/>and [[Eidos Banner History]].

== Overview ==
Through the Scout screen, there are four types of scouting, each requiring a specific item to do your recruitment.

==== New Characters on Standard Scouting Pool ====
Whenever a non-limited character debuts on a banner, they will typically be available on the next banner that releases after the debut banner has concluded it run.

Despite this, flyers and partner referrals with add the said character right away.
