Lucky Box

A Lucky Box is a prize machine-type arcade game that can be found as a random drop from Chests or other Lucky Boxes. The Apprentice can collect and place these machines in front of any General Store, whether or not it is staffed, and play each one once per day. It costs one Ancient Coin to play, either Signa or Firus, depending on the box - see the table below. The rewards can range from Keys and Alchemical Batteries to Clothing or Hair items, and even more Lucky Boxes. There are also three of the rarer Lucky Boxes scattered about Alaria, hidden in out-of-the-way areas.

Lucky Boxes
Name	Costs	(Rough) Directions
Blue Lucky Box	1 Ancient Coin (Signa)	N/A
Pink Lucky Box	1 Ancient Coin (Signa)	N/A
Green Lucky Box	1 Ancient Coin (Signa)	Island Locale (green) - head east from Town Square and ramble across the river and up the hillside to the 'Mother's embrace' cave entrance, flanked by two statues. At the cave entrance, turn left and hop off the rocks to find the green lucky box in a clearing below
White Lucky Box	1 Ancient Coin (Firus)	Forest Region (white) - Head to the collapsed grand entrance for the Vault of Thriving, southwest of the Forest Region's buildable area. Follow the winding path to the right of the entrance up to a clearing with the white lucky box.
Black Lucky Box	1 Ancient Coin (Firus)	Valley Province (black) - head out the southwest end of the buildable area, then cross over the nearby southern bridge to the chain of coastal islands. Once across the bridge , turn left and follow the path to reach this lucky box tucked alongside the foundations of some ruined buildings.

Notes

In the source code, these machines are referred to as "Gacha Machines" - which refers to the gashapon toy vending model that took off in Japan in the 2010s, eventually spanning the globe (as "blind box" or "random mystery" toys), and even spreading into the virtual world. Players spend virtual currency on these Gacha games to receive random in-game loot. It's only a coincidence that it sounds like "Gotcha!".
All of the Lucky Boxes have a chance to drop keys and batteries, but each box colour drops other items as well, from hats, to hair, to clothing. Each box has a very small chance to drop the next rarest box in the list (Blue can drop Pink, Pink can drop Green, etc). Black is the rarest, however and only drops town and building decorations in addition to the more common keys and batteries.
