Do the tools store my data?

Only in your own browser (timer history, checklists). Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Are the tools accurate after updates?

Each tool shows the date its numbers were checked; after every game update we re-check rates and prices and refresh the labels.

Do I need an account?

No — every tool runs free in your browser.

Can the odds calculator guarantee a class?

No. It computes probabilities, and nothing in the game guarantees a roll.

Search For The Needle Classes (October 2026): 11 Spin Classes & Their Rates

Ten classes with unboosted rates read off the 40-Gem spin panel, plus Beyond The Limits — the eleventh class added on 2026-10-25 — and the reason your panel may print different numbers than this page.

Quick answer

The roster at a glance

Every rate and every effect line below was read off the in-game spin panel on the checked date. Where the game does not print an effect line, the row says so instead of guessing.

All classes with single-spin rates and verified effects
Class	Rate	Expected spins	Expected Gems	Effect (verified?)
Starter	35.4%	2.8	113	No bonuses. Every farmer starts somewhere. — verified
Pack Mule	22.1%	4.5	181	Carry 50% more hay in every bag. — verified
Hay Merchant	12.4%	8.1	323	Earn 20% more money whenever you sell hay. — verified
Forkmaster	8%	12.5	500	Pitchfork swings collect 25% more hay and pitchfork upgrades cost 25% less. — verified
Demolitionist	12.4%	8.1	323	Not yet verified — Its effect panel was not opened in the checked session, so no effect line is quoted here.
Prospector	6.9%	14.5	580	Not yet verified — Effect panel not opened in the checked session.
Drone Specialist	1.8%	55.6	2,222	Always own a drone. It flies 30% faster and carries 40% more hay. — verified
Hoover	0.9%	111	4,444	Suction pulls 20% more, the vacuum costs half price, and it cools 30% faster. — verified

The Chosen One	0.02%	5000	200,000	Every class at once. Hay sells for 25% more, upgrades cost 25% less, and pets are 25% stronger. Team Aura: all players sell hay for 10% more. — verified

Added 2026-10-25

Beyond The Limits — the eleventh spin class

The 25 October update added a row to the bottom of the same 40-Gem spin panel, below The Chosen One. Its effect card is printed in full; its base rate is not published here, and the reason is the next card over.

Every class at once, 35% stronger. Hay sells for 33.75% more, upgrades cost 33.75% less, pets are 33.75% stronger, and you deal 30% more damage.

PURPLE THUNDER BURNS 500 HAY EVERY 25s · TEAM AURA: ALL SELL HAY 13.5% MORE

0.005% with 2x Luck active running — the only two readings captured.
0.01% with 4x Luck active running — the only two readings captured.
No 1x reading. Both frames from that day had a Luck boost on, and that boost moves every row on the panel, so halving these would be a guess rather than a measurement. The odds calculator leaves this class out until an unboosted panel is read.

Why your numbers differ

What a Luck boost does to this panel

Read the same screen twice inside ten minutes with two different boosts running.

Hay Merchant	11.9%	8%

Beyond The Limits	0.005%	0.01%

Read from one panel on 2026-10-25: with a Luck boost running, the printed rates move in both directions - the common classes lose share and the rare ones gain it. The 4x column sums to about 99.9% and the 2x column to about 99.9% too, so the boost redistributes rather than multiplies. The odds calculator on this site uses the unboosted 2026-09-14 reading; if your panel prints a different number, a Luck boost is the first thing to check.

How spins work

The spin economy

Spins are the only way to change class, and Gems are the only spin currency — so every Gem source funnels into this screen.

Each spin costs 40 Gems and rerolls your class immediately.
Rates are single-spin odds — no amount of spinning changes the next roll's chances.
No pity system is visible: a 0.02% class can take far longer than its average. The odds calculator shows both the average and the 90/95% safe numbers.
Gems come from run completions, Chapter 2 (+25 observed), codes, and daily rewards.

How we label facts

What 'verified' means here

Effect text only counts when the game itself displays it — not when a wiki or article asserts it.

Eight of the ten original effects — verified. The game prints an effect line on each class card; those lines are quoted in the table above. Beyond The Limits prints a full effect card too, quoted in its own section.
Demolitionist and Prospector — unverified. Their cards were not opened in the checked session, so they keep an explicit unverified label instead of a guess.
Rates and effects re-verify after every update; this page carries the checked date so staleness is visible.

Reading the panel

How these numbers were checked

The spin panel was read frame by frame from a 1080p recording, so the roster, the rates, and the effect lines come from the game rather than from another site.

Checked 2026-09-14

Spin panel read from a 1080p recorded session on 2026-09-14 (the earlier 2026-09-06 table predated the Index + Pets update).

On the displayed total

The values printed on the panel add up to about 100.12%, not exactly 100%, because the game rounds each line. The odds calculator uses the printed values as-is rather than silently re-normalising them.

FAQ

Class questions

Straight answers with the evidence status attached.

What does Pack Mule do?

Carry 50% more hay in every bag — printed on the class card, making it one of the effects the game states outright.

What do the other classes do?

Eight of the ten print their effect line on the card, and those lines are quoted in the table above — Hay Merchant's +20% sell value, Forkmaster's Pitchfork bonuses, Drone Specialist's 30% faster drone, Hoover's cheaper and cooler vacuum, Ultimate Farmer and The Chosen One's stacked passives. Demolitionist and Prospector were not opened in the checked session, so their effects stay unverified rather than guessed. Beyond The Limits, added on 2026-10-25, prints a full card: every class at once, 35% stronger, hay sells for 33.75% more, upgrades cost 33.75% less, pets are 33.75% stronger, and 30% more damage.

Can I change classes?

Yes — every spin rerolls your class. There's no pick-your-class; it's the game's gacha.

Which is the rarest class?

Beyond The Limits, added on 2026-10-25: 0.005% printed with a 2x Luck boost and 0.01% with 4x, against The Chosen One's 0.02%. Its unboosted rate has not been read, so no average spin count is quoted for it here — but it is below every other row on the panel. The Chosen One stays the rarest class with an unboosted measured rate.

Checked, not copied

Rates were read from the in-game spin screen frame-by-frame and re-checked after updates — not scraped from another wiki.

Unknowns stay unknown

Where an effect is unverified, the table says so. Guessing effects would poison every decision you make with the data.
