How to obtain

Rarity and arrow rolls

Pinnacle is the top tier. The Lucky Arrow rolls Pinnacle at 1.5% and the Bizarre Arrow at 4.4%; a Lucky Arrow’s Pinnacle chance matches at least one Pinnacle from three regular arrows. These are rarity-level odds, not odds for this exact Stand.

See the Stand arrows guide for the full arrow table, crafting costs and reroll rules.

DIO boss chip drop

The DIO boss can also drop a The World Stand Chip; the drop chance was added on October 23, 2026.
