Go to the Hethereau Hub and unlock Going Going Gone through the side quest if you have not done it yet, then prioritize filling your display case with the best Fons-per-space items you can get. For the highest passive income, the guide says 20 antique suitcases are the best display case setup, and it recommends Coral Hall with Daffodill or Haniel depending on how much information you want before bidding.
Unlock Going Going Gone and check your payout screen
Open the Hethereau Hub tab and scroll to the bottom to find the Going Going Gone mode. If it is not unlocked yet, start and complete the short side quest that activates it. Once inside, your account area displays your assets, display case, and profile. The display case earnings panel collects your passive Fons and gold shell income, where you can claim up to 350,000 Fons before the cap stops accumulating.

prerequisites
- Unlock Going Going Gone at the Hethereau Hub by finishing the side quest for it.
- Check your display case payout panel to claim up to 350,000 Fons as passive income.
- Make sure the mode entry screen is showing at the bottom of the Hub tab.
Fill the display case for Fons first, not gold shells
The passive Fons payout depends primarily on space efficiency, not raw item value. The display case holds 120 blocks, so maximizing Fons per block is the goal. The guide recommends 20 antique suitcases as the best setup. Large items like the golden koi statue or Pendragon model may look better, but they push out too many suitcases and lower overall Fons per hour. If you do not have enough suitcases yet, use temporary red rarity collectibles that keep the space efficient.

Use the auction venue before you commit to a hall
Open the auction venue panel to choose which stage to enter. Each venue has its own asset threshold and entry fee, and more advanced venues produce higher-grade items more often. Use your venue choice strategically as part of your plan to build the optimal display case, rather than defaulting blindly.
The auction venue selection panel is open with Select Venue and the current venue shown as Coral Hall. — Touch Me Not
Choose your auction venue strategically
Select the venue based on the asset requirement and item quality you need to improve your display case for passive Fons. Coral Hall is recommended for players following the optimized income route.
Pick the right hall for the amount of information you want
If you are new to Going Going Gone, start in Shell Hall to learn the mechanics. Advance to Coral Hall once you understand the rules and want to follow the guide’s recommended profit route. Pearl Hall is described as a more competitive bidding environment, especially after version 1.3, due to easier Eternal Heart identification. Coral Hall is recommended for calmer and more predictable bidding.

Pick your hall for information and risk
- Stay in Shell Hall for learning and lower-stress matches.
- Move to Coral Hall for the most consistent and recommended passive income path.
- Avoid Pearl Hall unless you want to compete in the active bidding war meta after version 1.3.
Run the assistant and device set that matches your comfort level
The guide recommends two setups for Coral Hall: Daffodill with the premium general purpose device set for faster decision-making, and Haniel with the super evaluation device set for maximum information in fewer rounds. Both have detailed device usage routes for each bidding round.

steps
- Select Daffodill as your assistant and equip the premium general purpose device set.
- On round one, use the large evaluation device to reveal eight collectibles.
- On round two, use the large size device to check silhouettes of ten collectibles.
- On round three, use the large appraisal device for five items; on round four, switch to the gold rarity evaluation device if needed.
- Alternatively, select Haniel with the super evaluation device set for more information fast—same sequence, with device set adjusted.
- Use the pass button and quick chat to exit low-value matches. Other players benefit when you signal a poor chest.
Bidding, profit, and when to back out
The recommended starting bid is 367,676, increasing by 100,000 per red rarity item revealed. Round one requires more than twice the second highest bid to win, round two uses a 1.6x multiplier, round three 1.3x, and round four 1.1x. If device reveals are weak, it is better to exit the match and preserve assets for the next attempt.
Use the safety fund without wasting your gold shells
When your assets drop below 100,000, you can claim 200,000 gold shells from the safety fund, up to five times per day. The guide's trick is to claim, win an auction, avoid selling items, and repeat the process until you have collected all claims for the day.

Pearl Hall meta after version 1.3
After version 1.3, Eternal Heart appears much more often in Pearl Hall, and the single-slot average value device exposes it quickly. This leads to high information and bidding wars in every match, making Pearl Hall unattractive for passive Fons farming. The guide recommends sticking to Coral Hall for more predictable passive income.
Also worth knowing
- Auction mode is not fully passive: You need to play matches and manage bids rather than let income accumulate automatically.
- Safety fund claim cycle: The safety fund can only be claimed when assets are below 100,000, and repeating the cycle lets you collect up to 1 million in one day.
- Pearl Hall bidding war: Eternal Heart's new appearance rate in 1.3 made single-slot device checks highly effective, resulting in frequent bidding wars in Pearl Hall.
