How to Get Carats in Umamusume: Pretty Derby (Free & Fast)

Q: How worthwhile is the Daily Carat Pack?

For low spenders, it's well worth it — the **Daily Carat Pack** (~$6.99/month) is widely cited as the best-value purchase in the shop, adding about 2,000 Carats per month (500 instantly plus 50/day). It is a **purchase**, though, not a free source.

Q: Why is it hard to save up a Spark in Umamusume?

The guaranteed pity (**Spark**) costs 200 pulls — 30,000 Carats — on a single banner, but banners only last about 7 days. Since Carats do not carry a huge stockpile advantage across banners for most F2P accounts, sparking requires saving deliberately across multiple banner cycles rather than farming within one.

Carats are the gacha currency in Umamusume: Pretty Derby — one pull costs 150 Carats, and the Trainee and Support Card banners each have their own separate pity but draw from the same Carat wallet.

Umamusume Global has a lot of small recurring sources rather than one or two big ones, so a lot of your monthly total comes from consistently clearing daily/weekly content rather than any single event. The figures below are compiled from multiple community sources and some vary by a wide margin — treat them as estimates.

Daily & weekly (recurring)

Daily Missions — Sources disagree on the exact amount — roughly 30–75 Carats per day depending on how many daily tasks you complete and which source you check.
**Team Trials** — Weekly rewards based on the class you hold — around 225 Carats/week at Class 5, up to about 375 Carats/week at Class 6 (roughly 970–1,600 per month).

Monthly (recurring)

Club / Circle rewards — Monthly payout based on your club's ranking — roughly 500–1,500 Carats per month depending on how active and well-ranked your club is.
**Legend Races** — An additional recurring source, estimated at roughly 500–1,000 Carats per month — the exact structure is less precisely documented than other sources, so treat this as a rough figure.
Story Events — Each event typically has around 8 episodes worth roughly 30 Carats each (about 240 total) plus event-point rewards, adding up to roughly 250–500 Carats per month.
Login bonuses & misc. — Recurring login rewards and small miscellaneous missions add up to roughly 200–400 Carats per month.

One-time (great for new accounts)

Main Story clears — Roughly 30 Carats per episode cleared — a large one-time bonus for a new account working through the story.
Archive Level rewards — Leveling your Archive up to Level 200 grants roughly 13,375 Carats cumulatively — a huge but strictly one-time bucket for new/catching-up accounts.
Trophies — One-time milestone rewards for various achievements across the game — not repeatable once claimed.

Special event (not a normal month)

**Champion's Meeting** — A large but irregular source of Carats — it is not a fixed monthly event, so in the months it runs it can meaningfully boost your total, but it should not be counted as guaranteed monthly income.

Paid (for context)

**Daily Carat Pack** — A ~$6.99 monthly pass often cited as the best-value item in the shop: 500 Carats instantly plus 50 Carats per day for 30 days, for about 2,000 Carats per month. This is a purchase, not free income.
