Fuse together charms in order to create new items. The "formulas" can be seen on the GOFusion main page. The three charms are: heart, diamond and star. There's also a wildcard charm that can fill in the place of any charm.
Currently, there are RIG packs for sale to get the charms.
The other ways to get charms are finding them in the Daily Chance, Blue Giftboxes, and even in Philosopher's Caches. [source -- announcement]
Users are reporting that you can find about 2-4 heart charms in 100 Philosopher's Caches. They're still opening up caches to get a better grasp of the probability. The Philosopher's Caches can be opened up to find a heart charm OR one of the usual colored caches. The other two charms have yet to be seen.
It's confirmed that people have found hearts in the blue giftboxes. I didn't see posts about the other charms.
And I've seen nothing about charms in the DC so far.

There's a Kickstarter Launch Party for this "event." You earn charms as personal rewards and unlock global rewards for more formulas. (This is our 4th Kickstarter in a row. First was Elysium's Gate, then a Summer one for our summer event that hasn't happened yet, then an event to help save our manga that was testing our interest in it, and now this.)
It's actually cheaper to donate to this kickstarter right now than pay marketplace prices for these charms. D;
Here's info from the first day. LARGE POST in spoiler. This post has info on the Kickstarter personal and global rewards. It also has info on the items available in the initial release.
Uh, the post is incomplete. :/ I see launch items that aren't listed. [/fail]

Well good morning everyone! We have a brand new feature that just went live!
Looks like we have a new Alchemy-like feature. However instead of combining
items, we will be combining/collecting various charms that hopefully can be won
outside of the Cash Shop. This is a brand new feature, so not a lot is currently
known, but I will be adding the basic bits of information as they become public
knowledge. Below I will be listing the first set of items available from the feature.
Looks like we also have a brand new Kickstarter to tie in with the new feature!!!
This kickstarter has a ton of charms and bundles as lower tier Personal rewards
and global charm rewards! Definitely a way to "kick start" this new feature! -snort-
Discussion Points:
- Will you be participating in the new kickstarter? o u o
- Will you be participating in this brand new feature?
- Are you excited for a different way to obtain items?
- How about those backgrounds? Finally RIG backgrounds.

This feature runs off of the following charms. So far each charm can only be won
from the Cash Shop GoFusion packs, but hopefully a free alternative will be added.
Charms can now also be obtained in the Daily Chance every single day. Woohoo!
Charms can also be found in Blue Giftboxes and Philosopher Caches. Wonderful! <3

Personal thoughts:
I haven't looked closely into it yet aside from gathering the initial info above.
I'm considering raising funds for donating to the kickstarter. Maybe. It depends on whether I like the GOFusion items and whether they look feasible enough. The kickstarter seems like a cheap-ish way to gather a few charms. Cheap should be in quotes. D;
Anywho, I like that this system doesn't destroy items to make items, like our Alchemy system. I don't care about these charms getting destroyed in the process.
I hope that star and diamond charms aren't tied to just cash shop purchases and that there will hopefully be a chance to get them in the DC, blue giftboxes and P Caches. I like that this is another way for users to get heart charms and sell them for gold if they don't care about the GOF system. I don't like that this is another system yet again tied integrally to the cash shop so that non-cash shop users suffer again still. Suffer should be in quotes. This is just an online website that we're allowed access to for free still, after all.
I like that this should raise the price of P Caches again. They've been released to s**t in the Dumpster Dive.
The current prices of caches are 20k. They had dropped to 9k (sell for 50k each in gold shop.) This is paltry considering I could sell Princess Hanabi (one of the MCs released today, 250c) for 13b. Seriously. And I didn't even go searching through the Limited Items and whatnot for the best ratio.
I like that I have a bunch of caches to open from the DC. I'm sure the heart charms will soon be nearly worthless. And I should be opening and selling right now. I just don't have the time. (And yet can ramble here?)
I like that I've been saving my giftboxes for years. XD I've been waiting for them to get an item update so that they'll either have a high sale price or I'd maaaaaaybe open the giftboxes for a chance at said items. Blue giftboxes were worth around 200k a few days ago and already went through a price hike to about 2m the past couple days. They're currently worth 70m.
