Produce reference book
Produce reference book is a SSR-rank P-item for the Free plan in Gakuen Idolmaster. When it triggers: At the start of special training: a random skill card with "Basic" in its name remove select and gain a skill card related to Good Impression the simulated rival's score 10% increase (3× per produce run) (the exact rewarded skill-card category depends on the story chapter). How to get it: A SEPARATE pool tied to a specific story chapter (e.g. N.I.A). It activates IMMEDIATELY on equip rather than waiting for a condition, and comes with a trade-off: triggering the effect also grants points to the simulated rival in the audition — many players deliberately avoid triggering it just to keep the baseline audition bonus.

P-item pool type
Gakuen Idolmaster splits P-items across several separate pools — not every P-item lives in one shared list:
P-items listed in the game's official P-item dex, obtainable during most standard Produce runs.
A SEPARATE pool that only appears in the H.I.F chapter — the way you play and unlock it differs from regular P-items even though it's still filed under the official dex.
A SEPARATE pool tied to a specific story chapter (e.g. N.I.A). It activates IMMEDIATELY on equip rather than waiting for a condition, and comes with a trade-off: triggering the effect also grants points to the simulated rival in the audition — many players deliberately avoid triggering it just to keep the baseline audition bonus.
A SEPARATE pool used only in Contest mode, distinct from both the regular pool and the chapter-specific pools.

Some details of this effect (e.g. which skill-card category is rewarded) can vary slightly by the version/chapter the item appears in — the source data records several internal variants sharing one display name; this page merges them into a single entry for easier lookup.
