## \*TL;DR - Three Quota Systems

* \* **AIC Quota** \- From 4★/5★ **tokens** (max potential first): 5★=20, 4★=5
* \* **Endpoint Quota** \- From 6★ **tokens**: 10 EQ (for 6★ weapons)
* \* **Bond Quota** \- From **duplicate PULLS** (automatic): 6★=50, 5★=10
* \* **Key:** Tokens ≠ Duplicates! Max potential first, then exchange.

## Token Exchange Rates

Exchange operator tokens AFTER maxing potential. Tokens come from duplicate operators.

| Token Rarity   | AIC Quota | Endpoint Quota | Notes                            |
| -------------- | --------- | -------------- | -------------------------------- |
| 6★ Token       | \-        | 10             | Endpoint Quota - use for weapons |
| 5★ Token (Max) | 20        | \-             | After potential maxed            |
| 4★ Token       | 5         | \-             | Exchange freely                  |

### Pro Tip: Max Potential First!

You exchange **operator tokens**, not raw duplicates. Tokens come from duplicate operators, but you must **first max the operator's potential** before exchanging excess tokens for quota.

## Bond Quota (From Duplicate Pulls)

**IMPORTANT:** Bond Quota is DIFFERENT from AIC/Endpoint Quota! You earn Bond Quota automatically when pulling duplicates - you don't need to exchange anything.

| Duplicate Pull    | Bond Quota Earned | Notes                     |
| ----------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------- |
| 6★ Duplicate Pull | 50                | Best source of Bond Quota |
| 5★ Duplicate Pull | 10                | Passive income from pulls |

**Exchange Type** \-- Quota Exchange tab

**Menu Path** \-- Menu > Acquisition Center > Quota Exchange

## \*Relation to Pity System

The Bond Quota Exchange is related to the gacha pity system in that both involve duplicate operators. However:

* ✓ Exchanging duplicates **does NOT affect** your pity count
* ✓ The 50/50 status is **independent** of exchange decisions
* ✓ You can exchange **without losing** your pity progress

## Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

### 1\. Hoarding 4★ Duplicates

Keeping excess 4★ operators in your inventory instead of exchanging.**Fix: Exchange all 4★ duplicates you don't use.** 50 AIC Quota per duplicate adds up quickly.

### 2\. Not Checking Exchange Weekly

Forgetting to check the Exchange Center for new stock.**Fix: Make it a weekly habit** to check for limited-time deals and restocked items.

### 3\. Exchanging Operators You Still Need

Exchanging operators before checking if you might use them.**Fix: Review your roster first.** Keep operators for team composition flexibility.

### 4\. Missing Limited-Time Shop Items

Not checking when special items are available.**Fix: Monitor the shop regularly** for high-value limited items.
