Accessories in Gakuran do more than just make your character look different. While some are purely cosmetic, others have unique mechanics that can actually affect gameplay during fights. If you’ve just started collecting accessories, it’s important to know where they come from and which ones offer more than just style.
In this guide, we’ll cover every accessory type, how to unlock them, what they do, and where to find consumable items like drinks and coffee.
How to Get Accessories in Gakuran
Most wearable accessories are obtained through the Accessory Roll system.
Every time you use an accessory roll, you’ll receive a random item from the available accessory pool. This is currently the main way to unlock wearable cosmetics such as:
- Headphones
- Glasses
- Scarves
- Keychains
Keep in mind that the rewards are random, so you may need multiple rolls before getting the accessory you’re looking for.
Not Everything Comes From Accessory Rolls
One thing that confused me at first was assuming every accessory came from the roll system. That’s not actually the case.
Consumable items, such as drinks and coffee, are obtained separately and must be purchased from specific locations around the map.
Headphones
Headphones are one of the most unique accessories in Gakuran because they aren’t just cosmetic.
Known variants include:
- Standard Black Headphones
- Thin Brown Headphones
What Do Headphones Do?
When equipped, headphones let you listen to music privately through the in-game phone app.
Normally, only your own character can hear the music.
Headphones Can Fall Off
There’s one important mechanic to remember.
If you’re hit by a powerful punch during combat, your headphones can be knocked off and land on the ground.
When this happens:
- Your private music becomes audible to nearby players.
- You’ll need to locate the dropped headphones.
- Re-equip them to return to private listening.
If you’re constantly getting into fights, it’s worth checking the ground afterward to make sure you didn’t lose them.
Glasses
Glasses are another accessory with gameplay effects.
Current variants include:
- Thick Black Glasses
- Thin Black Glasses
What Happens if You Lose Your Glasses?
Just like headphones, glasses can also be knocked off during combat.
Once they’re gone:
- Your screen becomes blurry.
- Visibility is reduced.
- You’ll have a harder time seeing until you recover them.
Fortunately, they’re usually dropped nearby, so simply pick them up and equip them again to restore your normal vision.
Scarves
Scarves are much simpler than headphones or glasses.
Available colors include:
- Pink
- Black
- Gray
- Blue
Unlike some other accessories, scarves don’t provide gameplay bonuses or special mechanics.
They’re purely there to customize your character’s appearance.
Keychains
Keychains are also cosmetic-only accessories.
Some known designs include:
- Pink Tamagotchi
- Silver Chain
- 8-Ball
Like scarves, they don’t affect your stats or combat performance. They’re simply another way to personalize your character.
Where to Buy Drinks
Drinks aren’t unlocked through accessory rolls.
Instead, you’ll need to visit vending machines found throughout:
- Shikada High School
- City streets
Different vending machines may offer different beverages, so it’s worth checking multiple locations if you’re searching for a specific drink.
Where to Buy Coffee
Coffee has its own dedicated location.
Head to the Shikada Coffee Shop, then interact with the NPC behind the counter to purchase your preferred coffee.
Unlike wearable accessories, coffee is treated as a consumable item.
Accessory Summary
Here’s a quick overview of every accessory type:
| Accessory | How to Get | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Headphones | Accessory Rolls | Play private music; can be knocked off during combat. |
| Glasses | Accessory Rolls | Cosmetic normally; losing them causes blurry vision until re-equipped. |
| Scarves | Accessory Rolls | Cosmetic only. |
| Keychains | Accessory Rolls | Cosmetic only. |
| Drinks | Vending Machines | Consumable item. |
| Coffee | Shikada Coffee Shop | Consumable item. |
Which Accessories Matter Most?
If you’re wondering which accessories actually impact gameplay, two stand out:
Headphones
These change how music works in-game and introduce an interesting combat mechanic when they’re knocked off.
Glasses
They’re the only accessory that can directly affect your vision during fights, making them more important than they first appear.
Scarves and keychains are great for customization, but they won’t change your gameplay.
Tips for New Players
If you’re just starting your accessory collection, keep these tips in mind:
- Save your accessory rolls until you’re ready to collect cosmetics.
- Don’t panic if your headphones disappear after a fight—check the ground nearby.
- If your screen suddenly becomes blurry, your glasses have probably been knocked off.
- Visit different vending machines to see their drink selection.
- Stop by the Shikada Coffee Shop whenever you want to purchase coffee.
Final Thoughts
The accessory system in Gakuran is more interesting than it first appears. While many items are purely cosmetic, accessories like Headphones and Glasses add small but meaningful gameplay mechanics that can catch new players by surprise during combat.
If you’re mainly interested in customization, the Accessory Roll system is where you’ll spend most of your time. Just remember that consumables like drinks and coffee come from their own locations, and always pick up your dropped headphones or glasses after a fight—you’ll definitely notice if you leave them behind.
