SDPlus FAQ (unofficial)

This is an unofficial FAQ about Gaia Online's SDPlus Item series.

History of SDPlus series
The project was started by Gaia artist reapersun and the first series appeared in the Repo Lamp CI, in January 2009. In May 2009 the Gee Boi Turbo CI gave a Blind Box item which contained a random doll from the Gaia Character Collection, the blind box was later added to other CIs. In November 2012 the SDPlus Gold Blind Box was released for the Black Friday sale, this box only grants dolls that are the 'rarest' to obtain. On January 09, 2013, the main SDPlus Box changed. When an SDPlus Blind Box is opened a package (called a 'blind bag') with a year on it will be received. This package contains the doll from the year listed on the package, though still random by whatever Chance Item the doll is from. In July 2013, Club Verge arrived this exclusive shop is available to Gaians who were frequent spenders on cash items, one of the available services of the shop is ordering a custom made Gaian SDPlus.

How do users obtain a doll?
When a Chance Item is played a random item is received. The containers are often set up so the player has to go through 'levels' to reach a rare item. One of the items is an SD Plus Blind Box and in that a Blind Bag, which when opened grants a doll. If users don't want to attempt playing for a box, they can purchase it via Marketplace, along with blind bags. It should be noted the user can not choose the doll they want when a blind bag is granted, it simply improves the chances as the dolls are being picked from a smaller grouping.

What is a Alchemized SDPlus Blind box?
An alchemized box is possible by using the Gaia Item Alchemy feature. The steps required to craft one can become expensive, ranging up to 100K each attempt and requires that users be at Level 10. The formula is obtained by another Chance Item called the Alchemist's Case and the components to create the box must be available.
 * Formula 10: SDPlus Blind Box + 5 x Otaku Sanctuary, 1 x Blank Doll, 10 x SDPlusifier, 1 x Cinderblock, 10 x Anycolor Enamel, 20 x Plastic Token

Are dolls available in Gaia Shops?
Currently no, the dolls can only be obtained through Chance Items. The dolls have Store Sellback value, however, this is true for a number of items.

What are SDPlus dolls based on?
The dolls are primarily designed in the likenesses of characters seen on Gaia Online, ranging from long time Gaia NPCs, one-shot characters from current Chance Items, or Mini-Comics and Manga. Companions or themes from Monthly Collectibles and Evolving Items. Other types of dolls are in the likeness Gaia Staff avatars, see SDPlus Real for the Staff series. There are end-of-the-year Chance Items called "Super Prize" which releases dolls based on NPC:Ivan, the page for that is SDPlus Special. And SDSuper+ which is a series specifically for sponsorship events, these dolls are done in the likeness of copyrighted characters from their respective series.

Each doll is given a number, a pose, and a description, and some dolls have unique bonus items that Gaians can equip to themselves.

What does SDPlus mean?
The title of SD stands for Super Deformed. The addition of "Plus" is currently unknown.
