Hello everyone! I didn't find a question megathread or beginner guides here so I decided to make a post. Please let me know if that's not ok and I will delete this.

I came back to Infinity Nikki after a long time because of the Little Prince collab (it's amazing, I loved every part of it), and well, I am very confused by everything else. I don't remember when was the last time I logged in before this, but I started playing at launch and stayed for a few versions.

1. Story

The moment I logged in, some mysterious quest started with a lady called Seer that looks like some kind of goddess or space fairy and it didn't make sense to me. Did the story of Nikki come to an end while I wasn't playing, and this is some kind of second iteration? If that's the case, why did this quest trigger on its own? I still didn't clear all Wishfield quests. Also, there are so many quests now and even a new region, so where should I start? Is the world reset connected to the region Itzaland? Is the new map Sea of Stars more important than other regions? Should I continue my Wishfield quest line now, or are "Mysterious Prelude" and "Prologue: A dream by the pavilion; a scroll half unfurled" more important, and should be done first? If the timeline got reset, should I just do Itzaland quests immediately? Any help regarding this would be really appreciated.

1. Gameplay

What should my priorities be right now? I see a lot of new content. I quickly run out of bubbles while leveling up outfits for the Mira Crown styling contest, so I was wondering if there is a way to get them besides the Realm of Escalation.

1. Additional questions

- Did 5* outfits ever get reruns? If yes, do you still only get the pieces you are missing for completing the outfit (for the first time)?

- Heart of infinity menu changed. Does this mean there is a miracle outfit for each region? If yes, is there some kind of priority? Which one I should focus on first?

- Is Starlit Pursuit some new kind of endgame content?

- How do I unlock the Realm of Breakthrough? I noticed it appears in the battle pass challenges often.

- Do you have any additional tips or advice for me? I feel like I'm lost more than a new player would be.

Thank you for your help and time!

Edit: Also, I noticed it's now possible to change the color of any piece which is great, but are coloring materials for 5* outfits locked behind a paywall?

OK so I really want the Gift2 and have no problem spending $7 in total if I have to get packs 2 AND 3 to get it. My problem however, is I really really want the Echo Blur Filter but not the prop. What happens if I just get the $6.99 pack? will I at least get it? or do I have to spend a whopping $17 just to get it 🤧😭

Next patch is like in 1 day so would really appreciate fast BUT FACTUAL answers plsss 🥹🙏

As someone who doesn't care for Cicia, why is everyone so excited for Cicia? The only thing I got from it is that is a big city, but that's all.

I really want explanations so I can hype myself, since I'm more on the fantasy side of fashion.

EDIT:

Thanks for the contribution, I get it.

I'll be hyped for the possibility of more good pants.

its in the title...my luck on nikki since 1.0 has been nothing but straight up Dogsh*t, every single banner xD is this a sign to give up? mind you i have 1 evolution for every 5 stars i have completed xD please get this bad luck off me INFOLD

As you can see I'm only missing 2 pieces, so max 40 pulls to finish a 5 star which is really rare for me as f2p.

When it came out I really loved this outfit and I still use some of the accessories a lot but not actually the hair I pulled for haha. Now that its rerunning I'm so tempted to finish it.

I have a good amount of pulls saved but they are intended for Tide of Tears and Born Flawless (enough to finish each) so I would have to earn all 40 pulls during the patch. I don't care too much about the 2.11 5 star so that's fine too.

What I'm really questioning is if I should complete the set because it's ability is only good for Itzaland. And if I'm just finishing for the sake of a complete 5 star that. I'll wait for 3.0 previews either way but maybe someone has some advice because it's so tempting.

I know everyone is really bummed about the outfit not rerunning but I want to give everyone a new perspective. It take a lot of time effort and resources to design a good alt version it could very much be a situation that the devs puts a lot of effort into those outfits alt and thats why they take so much time to rerun.

Most outfit in 1.x didn't have alt versions and its seem to me that for the most part the rerun pattern for those outfit heavily depended on if the dev had a finish alt version for them.

Now I know some really love the alts we were getting and I'm not claiming that they were agly but I do think we need to acknowledge that all of the previous alts were a cut down version of the original outfit.

The 1.5 outfits &TOT are such a LOVED outfits all over the community regardless of region. They are going to be (and were) ones of the most pulled outfits when they return. I refuse to believe that infold is THIS oblivious. To me it's clear that the dev are actually putting effort into those alternatives versions. And those things take time. It tell me that they care for the design. It tell me that they take the time to perfect it. Now obviously I could be wrong. But what do we really prefer? getting the outfits now and get a not so good alt or wait the time need for the dev to give us the best alt possible

Also because they are so loved I belive the Chinese fans will flip if they half ass them and... the Chinese fandom of nikki... is truly scary...

Anyway I hope it restored some hope for you and energy to wait for whats coming 💕

I know this might've been asked before but... Is there anything i might've missed regarding diamonds in the overworld? I did not realize that Forever Bond would be rerunning and it's literally the outfit that made me start the game. I have finished all Wishfield and Itzaland minigames minigames, unlocked all tps, done all the quests (besides the majong one), did the challenge portal, did a guide for chests, have finished all faction challenges besides Yara, done all merit stages, have done the mira crown with 3 challenges missing ( don't have pieces with the right stats), done the permanent and limited events and so on. I've only gotten two pieces so far and that's the worst pieces on banner (the shoes and the necklace). Does anyone know if I forgot about something?

I accidentally skipped the guide for it🥲 i tried to point the arrow towards it simply but it dosent work

Hello, everyone :)

I have finally finished the story quest of this patch. I liked it, but there's something that bothers me.

The first thing that bothered me was Nikki acting surprised when Mattia revealed Asna's plans to her. After doing my research, I found out that this quest is available without completing the Heaven's Reach story. And I guess it's time-limited for the same reason. So now I'm kind of fine with it. However, after having a taste of 2.6 story, I wish that every big patch was followed up by a mini epilogue patch, haha. If anyone keeps a list of survey suggestions, please consider adding this one to your list too!

And the second thing that bothers me is Mattia's decision to do the soul transfer. I understand her intentions, but wouldn't she have committed the same crime as Asna?.. To do the soul transfer, she had to doom someone else's life too. It feels like Mattia was sacrificing her own values, but does the story ever mention it? Did I miss it? And yes, Almis was willingly volunteering for Asna, and maybe there was a volunteer for Mattia too. But it still doesn't feel right.

I guess you can feel my confusion and uncertainty from reading this. So I would like to know what you think about Mattia's decision, or I will go insane <3

I've no interest in Forever Bond, but the heterochromia lenses might be too good to pass up for me. Have you ever spent pulls on a banner you're not too interested in for a makeup piece? Would you?

(I don't care about the Christmas banner, but I am planning on pulling for Behind Prayers and don't have too much saved up yet, so......... RIP me lol)

Bought the expensive mira journey and then went chest hunting for the last few pulls 😭 This version has killed me. I am dead.

I don't like the outfit at all really for the current banner except for the hair but part of me wants to pull for the ability because I absolutely hate collecting dews, even using the interactive map I find it so incredibly tedious. I am only level 20 something on both cadenceborns. So to those of you who own it, does it make it significantly easier to find them? I don't want to get it if the process of collecting them still feels tedious because I know I'll just give up eventually if it still feels bad.

Where what and how do you all get them? I have one and it’s from the gilded banner but the rest with Nikki like lying down I have no idea where you all get them?

Are they free? Paywalled? Help?

Thank you so much

Behind prayers*

I'm so so in love with this hair and it is almost ideal for a Guinevere cosplay imo!!! From the giant hair buns to the little swirly bang in the middle.. I am so so in love. I just hope it will be easy to dye into a single colour but if it won't I might still get it just for non-cosplay outfits.

Just wandering cus i think I needs to buy wishes next patch

46s1lFbAUOZ#

the burnt ends on the tape outfit really inspired me

The rerun banner is one I wanted I'm too pull poor for this.

So, i need your help to know what i should do. Gilded Memories has been on my list of rerun to get since it got out the first time and i was sure to get it in the coming update. But then... BP's rerun happened lol

I was always kind of planning to pull for her final evo, i love her alt dress, love the crown, i have been using her pieces regularly here and there, and for many occasions i wished i had her alt makeup. The thing is, i have not had the best luck in getting her base form, i am currently at 180 pulls for her base

Concerning GM, i simply know i will use every pieces she has, it's everything i love

Counting the dias and crystals we'll get with 2.11 and a monthly pass, i have 220 (yes i'm poor lol). I know it is barely enough to get the final evo, but i was wondering, with a rerun doesn't the "luck" in pulling resets (sorry i don't know the actual term) ?

Anyway, help me, i was hoping BP would wait but here we are 😭
