i rly wished the three star clothes didnt require bouldy crystals, those are low level clothes that we mostly just use for outfits and not for battles. right now i use my energy crystals on just maxing out my ability insights, since being able to gain higher quality materials is required for the next miracle outfit and you need them unlocked to progress 💀
Samee i was actually surprised they needed those, its not the end of the world but its one more thing thats timegated w stamina 😭 u rlly have to pick and choose what to focus on in this game
@Zombina638 Its thr internet...You may not see it but its out there somewhere. I for one love this game but give or take some idiot will come along and judge it
For me it is definitely the shining bubbles that has been the hardest to acquire, and no doubt there will be more style challenges in the future in new regions that get released, so they will be greatly needed. Hopefully they will add more missions where bubbles are the reward because spending energy on said bubbles feels like a crime 😂
The double drop event for the realm of escalation was so diabolical. That and the daily quest... the way this game wants you to use the realm of escalation like you don't need about a million bouldy drops and insight is crazy. They need to either up how much energy you get or reduce how much energy everything costs, because it feels wayyyyy too unbalanced right now. Thank you for the video!!
Or you could pace yourself and not get everything done in 1 day. It's meant to be a cozy time passer, and patience is good. I've barely touched realm of dark so bouldy drops aren't on everyones to-do list, they don't seem that necessary to me
@@Cookie-ox9dd OR you just play the game how you want. If you want to focus on being a completionist and enjoy doing things one after another then do it, if you want to pace yourself do that. BOTH should be viable options, that's the thing. The fact is, this IS a gacha game, a lot of this stuff is going to be set up to nudge people in the direction of spending and people are allowed to express frustration about that. ijs
@usagifelton OR the issue here is people wanting to get everything done in one day and I think that's a terrible thought process and am happy the game makes people have patience. I'm f2p. I've had no issues with insight, energy, diamonds. Bubbles are my only complaint, but even then, I don't think the current elements in play are unbalanced. I get people can express their frustration as I did in replying. Everyone wants everything now. Well unfortunately patience is necessary, it's not like the game is going to shut down tomorrow, you'll get it eventually. Both shouldn't be viable options either, what game has both? What game let's you freely play to completion in 1 day and also makes you wait and take things slow in order to advance. Sure you can play it slow on a game you can complete in a day, but you can't do the reverse. But that's purely up to the discretion of the player, but it's still not the intended way to play. So as I've said, be patient and good things come in time.
Like you didn't need a truckload of bubbles for Glow Ups for the Mira Crown: Pinnacle. -_- That double-drop event was amazing. BTW, they absolutely want you to buy energy for money. Limited Banners in this game are way less appealing than new characters in other gacha games, since they give you pretty much nothing in return beside new look and maybe some useless ability. In the best case, they act as alternative skin for existing active abilities, occasionally with minor tweaks to these abilities.
This woman could convince me to do anything tbh, the way she speaks and explains everything is literally perfect for people trying to learn the ropes of the game + spend their time and money wisely. Thank you so much for explaining everything so well! I’ve been spending my in-game resources quite poorly, this has given me a lot to ponder.
tbf i found the resource managing in this game a lot more forgiving than your avg gacha's simply because there is no RNG related gearing. no artifacts or relics you have to farm repeatedly so you hit that 2% of getting that right substat and rolls through upgrading. only rng related thing that is on energy spending is the eureka recolors. if you screw up big time during your accs early game there is still salvaging in the end bc there is a lot less fomo when it comes to IN's endgame, unless they make mira crown stages extremely harder and stat demanding in the future
I'm a new player and I've definitely done some of the don'ts you've just mentioned. This was extremely helpful in better understanding the currency and what to do with it. Thank you so much!
Honestly me too. I did "glow up" on a couple of three star outfits. They did help me at first, but now I regret it. I've also used the realm of escalation for bling 😅 I've never played a gatcha game before, so there's a lot of learning. And I have to look at it that way, trial and error to become better at the game.

Awesome advice. Just wanted to throw out that specific 3* outfits (Refined Grace, for example) can be very good investments as they're much cheaper to upgrade than 4* and 5* pieces and punch far above their weight. In fact Refined Grace (together with the Masked Magic eureka set) should carry you through every Cool stylist battle in 1.0.
@@kendall7752we do though? The special bubble you can get from the caged greed in the warp spires and it cost 40 for each reward . If you only trade outfit for the bubble it'll take forever to glow up the outfit 😢
This is very needed for people who don't play gatcha games, What I'm doing right now is just farming the monster cores and grooming the special animals everyday while also trying to complete all the sketches before they release more stuff. early grindinding is key to staying ahead in these games.
The featured pulls (2 standard 2 event $1) are 75% of the time a better deal than buying straight stellarite if you haven’t run out of discount limits. But yes, their good prices are appealing and may be predatory to people at risk of becoming addicted. If you’re planning to spend regardless, best to buy the cheapest items that yield the most pulls

You should only prioritize bubbles if you need to clear the pinnacle contest. It resets every two weeks and you can earn diamonds and a monthly allowance of 3 blue and pink crystals from the sparklite store.
Thank you for this. Im slowly learning how to spend my in game money ... but I did get some Stellarite for a couple of those outfits from the store. I bought the $4.99 thing you suggested and im sure it will be enough. Appreciate you.
I'm downloading this game for the first time and was doing some research. I really admire how you're encouraging people to save their money. Great video, i appreciate it!
thank you so much omg. i've been playing everyday for a little over a week and didn't understand how precious vital energy was!! this was sooooo helpfullll
definitely buy the discounted bundles if you plan to spend on the double stelarites anyway, its cheaper then turning the stelarutes into summoning crystal thingys. otherwise everything hobi said is correct and true. just wait things out, definitely spend wisely, personally i dont summon more when i get every piece, some people do to get alternative colors.
I’ve played genshin before so I’m familiar with how it works in nikki kind of, but this was a lot of help! I’m always a free to play player so seeing how expensive things are is terrible! I hope they fix it a little in the future
I appreciate this type of guide so so much, this also is a reminder for me to save up. You'll def be disappointed to see me spending recklessly and how I couldn't plan my resources 😂😂 but I've learned my lesson through the vid and other sources, thank you. Good luck for everyone who just started saving up for pulls and the new miracle outfit!!
I'm spending 600 diamonds daily for the insight 😭😭 I just want to craft the Silvergale outfit honestly. I'm pretty close to 18k+ insight on grooming, fishing and collecting too so I think I'm going to keep it up. To each their own I guess. Also I plan on truly saving up diamonds once I craft the complete outfit so I think I'm okay. Great video though! Been binging on these lately, love the way you explain everything.
You have done a great job on the video. I personally only buy battle passes for games when I close to the end. You get all the rewards guaranteed at that point. I did a little bling changing at the start to help a bit but always just hunt Greedy Pouch and run around now.
You are a treasure THANK YOU. I wish I had this when I first started the game but unfortunately I’ve spent so many diamonds but now at least I know better.
I'm scared 😳 this is done by a different company and even though the companies other game doesn't have reruns I think eventually though bring old stuff back. If they don't it's kind of a waste of money on their part 😭
Starlitght bundles are great if you plan buy crystals for stellarite. Smaller ones better, but even biggest offer beter exchange than default 120 for crystal. And tidal packs anyway better than stellaryte (1 and 2 are better than 2x stellarite). Their non-discount price does not exist, because you can buy them only one time
As a person who plays this gensin and wuwa I should have learned to never spend the currency on wishes on reason/I forgot what Wuwa does for energy but here I was a bit impatient to try and move on to getting the new outfit so I caved and spended a few diamonds on the energy I do regret it and will make sure to not do it again plus ill be waiting a lot anyway but to anyone who uses diamonds to refill I only reccomed it on blings,bubbles or do it for crafting a miracle outfit but make sure its only when really desperate circumstances if not I just reccomed waiting its not worth it in the long run trust me I do regret my decision on spending so just spend wisely also ty for vid the diamond part is especially helpful to me since im f2p in all these games so leraning to budget is always good for me 😊
Honestly, I needed to hear this. Especially after 11:48 bit, I will repeat these words every time I pull for gacha or be tempted to buy these "great value" packs. Gaming addiction is very hard to deal with once started and I think budgeting your game resourses/currency WHILE being f2p gives way more satisfaction and happines from playing.
Hording Energy Crystals makes no sense to me, if I want to play and advance in the game (by crafting & upgrading clothes), I use them. What good are they rotting away in my inventory? You get more and more from events, the battle pass, Mira levels etc, so why not just use them to achieve the things you want to achieve? What does saving them give me in the long term other than an opportunity to use them for the same things later?
Probably for events like double escalation etc? But essentially I agree with you, just spend them and when they run out they run out. I did this with Genshin, HSR etc and now I have an ungodly amount of reserved energy that I'll never use lol To each their own tho, we all play differently
ty for this video! explaining everything. i’ve been buying shining bubbles hahahahaha. i didn’t know vital energy was being replenished gradually. i thought it was refilled a specific time a day
Its super tempting to want to pull for every event but you Totally gotta budget for it, esp if you want to evolve the outfit to get the color variants aka pulling the full outfit Twice Thankfully it seems like the rng is Much more forgiving in Infinity Nikki than the past games (at least in my experience so far, have not pulled dup outfit parts for the Rarer outfits) In the Shining Nikki i used to save 30k diamonds to pull a complete outfit + its evolution materials
one thing I wish was like in dbd (a different game also with a battle pass) is: In dbd you can buy a certain amount of the in-game currency to buy that battle pass and if you don't want to buy anything else that needs that in-game currency, you can buy the premium battle pass every month because you get that currency in the battle pass bit by bit so you have enough to buy the next one. So you spend 1000 in-game currency and get that 1000 back in the pass (did that make sense?) and also thank you for making that video, should have watched it when it came out I spend my Vital energy because.... I'm desperate and can't find any quests anymore, I'm pretty sure I have done almost every quest ;-;
I wish I watched this video sooner...I did all the mistakes you said NOT to do. oh no. lol I've been playing for only 3 weeks though so glad to know now vs later. My goal sadly is not to spend any money on this game, otherwise I get carried away. You have so many diamonds and it temps me to spend money DX but I'll be strong. lol. Thank you for this video glad it got recommended to me.
Don't worry everyone is still new at the game and honestly there's no REAL way to mess up your account so you're completely fine! I've got a lot of my diamonds because I am caught up in the game and when the game first came out I redeemed a lot of the codes🩷
OMG I have been spending everything so generously lol, thank you so much for all the tips! I have been trying so hard not to buy anything with real money but this game makes it extremely hard not too, I will follow ur tips so I can finally craft that stupid MO :(
I just stumbled on your videos because I was googling infinity Nikki quests, and I’m so glad I did! I love your calm way of explaining things. Instant subscribe, and I will find you on twitch!
2:30 It's 3k and not 60k. Each coin give you +100, and it definitely does not drop 600 of those. It drops ~30 and that's it. I just went and hunted one, and it gave me 3k. No idea is there a daily limit. Maybe that's 60k a day if you go and hunt 20 of those. I haven't tried to hunt them all. And it's pretty annoying to farm them daily, considering they may not even show up at the same location. Daily grind is one of the easiest ways to turn the game into a job and make you less happy after playing it. And that's quite counter-productive to the main purpose of playing the game. -_- Your main sources of Bling (beside vital energy) are: * Quests. And these are one-time, so you can't farm them. * Events. And these are time-gated and one-time, so you can't farm them. * Battle Pass (Mira Journey). It's somewhat helpful (especially if you pay for it) until level 50, and it gives 8k for each level past 50 until 70. * Only after that is Overworld gathering. It gives some Bling, but it's nowhere enough for costly crafts and upgrades. * Mira Crown gives Bling per star in Rewards section, but you are likely to spend more Bling on Glow Ups to get these stars in every patch. At least it compensates a bit. :) Between unlocks in the Heart of Infinity, crafting cloth pieces and chasing stars in Mira Crown, you will run out of Bling, Threads and especially Bubbles all the time. And that's with BP, BTW. For example, we'll need around a month worth of Vital Energy just to unlock and craft Silvergale (unless you want to farm inspiration for free... this will take the next 1-2 years grinding daily, I suppose). And if you wish to pull Surprise-O-Matic... I wouldn't recommend this since it'll annihilate all your Bling in seconds with next to nothing in return. Not sure when we'll ever have enough energy to be able to use it, since I expect devs to keep adding new regions and miracle outfits with those, and tabs in the Heart of Infinity. And inspiration upgrades for each region. 4:23 I have 9 left. Glow Ups for Mira Crown and Perfect rating in Factions (Sovereigns) cost me quite a lot of energy. And no, I barely ever bought Bling or Threads for it. That's almost exclusively Shiny Bubbles. -_- Daily energy most went into inspiration and Realm of Dark. And yes, inspiration is mandatory. 7:18 There's actually still a little bonus left after you buy the first time. Not sure about $5 one (didn't try to buy it yet), but $15 first time gives you 980×2 (1960 total) and on repeats 980+120 (1100 total). There's a similar bonus on all higher value packs. Not that it's a reason to buy them, though, unless you really want these store dresses or pull more on the limited banner. 7:26 But now you must log in daily for a month. >_> That's how they teach you to login daily if Vital Energy and daily quests isn't enough. Now you are loosing money! 11:43 All limited Featured packs worth more than directly buying Diamonds for Stellarite. But yes, their main purpose is to give you incentive to buy pulls for the limited banner "cheaper". If you spend on these, you are more likely to spend on buying Stellarite directly in the future. That's also the reason why they occasionally give you a free pack of potions there to make sure you have an annoying red mark in UI reminding you that Store is a thing that exists and don't you dare to forget about it. XD They also place it closer to the end, so you have to search for it and look at all the other propositions in the process.
Yeah I mentioned the pinned comment that I filmed this at 2 AM and so I misspoke. I think what I meant was if you get all of the pouches cause there's multiple at a time you get 16 K or you can get close to 16 K.
Welllll I’ve done quite a few no-nos… and I am feeling the result of that choice 😅 now I wonder if I should pause on progression and just explore, get resources and relax this month since I don’t LOVE the banner
For the pack purchase I don't think it's scammy tho. Like the one you see, the starlight gift vii is 1800 stellarite for 20 pink crystals (the original price is 2425 stellarite) but if you realize when you pulls/draws for 10 pink crystals it uses 1200 diamonds, so if you exchange for 20 pink crystals it uses 2400 diamonds. So yeah, I think they’re still give us some discount on pack purchase.
I knew most of this already just from playing, but I was spending the vital energy on bling (whoops). Thankfully, I didn't spend it all and I only just started spending it on bling a few days ago. I know that I can get bling pretty easily out in the wild, but I was trying to get more outfits quicker and didn't realize that vital energy was that important. I won't be spending it on bling anymore. So far, I haven't spent any real money, but I might get that $4.99 thing that gets you 90 diamonds a day since I'm trying to get the limited banner. I don't really want much else from the store except maybe an outfit or two, but I'm not spending a lot of money on any outfit. There was one that's gone now that I liked, but it would have been like $15 and I'm not spending that on a single outfit. I think I'd spend no more than $5 on one. There is plenty of free stuff that I'm enjoying already.
I've done all quests and am struggling to farm the diamonds😭 I hope we are getting more quests soon as previous wishes/limited banners have costed me so much to get the outfit.
4:43 but instant gratification!! /hj no because yesterday I remembered there was this sketch that would make my outfit look really good and admittedly I did spend 150 crystals for energy. 😅 (needed 20 of one of those crystals)
I didn’t realize you didn’t have to spend to get the blue permanent crystals…I feel like I only ever have 1 or 2 which isn’t enough!! Lol this was so helpful. ❤
I was excited when I saw how many diamonds you had thinking you were able to farm this much by just playing the game lol. But still good tips if I ever decided to spend real money
This is my first time watching you. You have Koya on your bed. So cute. I have Chimmy on mine lol. Ooo, girl, I am so thankful cause I was about to spend so much money. Thank you for this video, it really helped me out a lot. 💜
I spent my Vital Energy on blind really early on before I unlocked the other features. I was going to sit on 350 anyway if I didn't spend it, and the next few days I unlocked the other features, so I don't spend the Vital Energy on blind anymore.
“Won’t come back for months” … try years. If you don’t LOVE the limited sets, skip it. Save your diamonds. Wait 1, 2, 3, 4 limited events for one you are in love with. There are always more pretty things, don’t buy something you only like 7/10 wait for the 9s and 10s
I liked and subscribed. I only subscribe to 7 people and YT still gets what I like wrong lol. Ty so much for the video. Glad I watched before spending money on money 😭

I appreciate this type of guide so so much, this also is a reminder for me to save up. You'll def be disappointed to see me spending recklessly and how I couldn't plan my resources 😂😂 but I've learned my lesson through the vid and other sources, thank you. Good luck for everyone who just started saving up for pulls and the new miracle outfit!!
I'm spending 600 diamonds daily for the insight 😭😭 I just want to craft the Silvergale outfit honestly. I'm pretty close to 18k+ insight on grooming, fishing and collecting too so I think I'm going to keep it up. To each their own I guess.
Also I plan on truly saving up diamonds once I craft the complete outfit so I think I'm okay. Great video though! Been binging on these lately, love the way you explain everything.
this was so helpful! i was hesitant to play in general because of the gacha pay to play but having so much fun without spending!
Great video! I was kinda already following the advice mentioned, but it’s so helpful to have more details from y’all who play more ❤
You have done a great job on the video. I personally only buy battle passes for games when I close to the end. You get all the rewards guaranteed at that point. I did a little bling changing at the start to help a bit but always just hunt Greedy Pouch and run around now.
Thank you for this! I realised by the end of the 1st update to definitely save diamonds
You are a treasure THANK YOU. I wish I had this when I first started the game but unfortunately I’ve spent so many diamonds but now at least I know better.
When people talk about reruns but you've played the previous Nikki games *slowly looks away*
I'm scared 😳 this is done by a different company and even though the companies other game doesn't have reruns I think eventually though bring old stuff back. If they don't it's kind of a waste of money on their part 😭
It will take years lmaoo 😭😭😭
I got scared too reading this 😭 i didnt manage to get the last piece of the blue butterfly 5star outfit so im hoping it will rerun soon,,,,,,,,
These are the same devs as LADS after all 😬😬😬 reruns are a mere sweet dream
Starlitght bundles are great if you plan buy crystals for stellarite. Smaller ones better, but even biggest offer beter exchange than default 120 for crystal.
And tidal packs anyway better than stellaryte (1 and 2 are better than 2x stellarite). Their non-discount price does not exist, because you can buy them only one time
Oh that's good to know! Imma still avoid them because I don't wanna spend too much in this game because the bundles got me in Love and Deepspace!
As a person who plays this gensin and wuwa I should have learned to never spend the currency on wishes on reason/I forgot what Wuwa does for energy but here I was a bit impatient to try and move on to getting the new outfit so I caved and spended a few diamonds on the energy I do regret it and will make sure to not do it again plus ill be waiting a lot anyway but to anyone who uses diamonds to refill I only reccomed it on blings,bubbles or do it for crafting a miracle outfit but make sure its only when really desperate circumstances if not I just reccomed waiting its not worth it in the long run trust me I do regret my decision on spending so just spend wisely also ty for vid the diamond part is especially helpful to me since im f2p in all these games so leraning to budget is always good for me 😊
Honestly, I needed to hear this. Especially after 11:48 bit, I will repeat these words every time I pull for gacha or be tempted to buy these "great value" packs. Gaming addiction is very hard to deal with once started and I think budgeting your game resourses/currency WHILE being f2p gives way more satisfaction and happines from playing.
The buy once packages with pink crystals are great value for the money.
Hording Energy Crystals makes no sense to me, if I want to play and advance in the game (by crafting & upgrading clothes), I use them. What good are they rotting away in my inventory? You get more and more from events, the battle pass, Mira levels etc, so why not just use them to achieve the things you want to achieve? What does saving them give me in the long term other than an opportunity to use them for the same things later?
Probably for events like double escalation etc? But essentially I agree with you, just spend them and when they run out they run out. I did this with Genshin, HSR etc and now I have an ungodly amount of reserved energy that I'll never use lol
To each their own tho, we all play differently
I don't think she's saying hoard them, she's telling you to spend them wisely because they aren't easy to come by.
youre the best at explaining this stuff
ty for this video! explaining everything. i’ve been buying shining bubbles hahahahaha. i didn’t know vital energy was being replenished gradually. i thought it was refilled a specific time a day
I just started playing a few days ago and these tips are quite helpful. Especially the part about vital energy.
thank you for explaining the difference between limited and permanent banners i see too many people waste their gems on perms
Thank you for making this video! It was so helpful!!!
Thank you so much I just started the game and was so overwhelmed LOL
Its super tempting to want to pull for every event but you Totally gotta budget for it, esp if you want to evolve the outfit to get the color variants aka pulling the full outfit Twice
Thankfully it seems like the rng is Much more forgiving in Infinity Nikki than the past games (at least in my experience so far, have not pulled dup outfit parts for the Rarer outfits)
In the Shining Nikki i used to save 30k diamonds to pull a complete outfit + its evolution materials
This video got me togetherrrr! Thank you!!
one thing I wish was like in dbd (a different game also with a battle pass) is: In dbd you can buy a certain amount of the in-game currency to buy that battle pass and if you don't want to buy anything else that needs that in-game currency, you can buy the premium battle pass every month because you get that currency in the battle pass bit by bit so you have enough to buy the next one. So you spend 1000 in-game currency and get that 1000 back in the pass (did that make sense?)
and also thank you for making that video, should have watched it when it came out I spend my Vital energy because.... I'm desperate and can't find any quests anymore, I'm pretty sure I have done almost every quest ;-;
Hello fellow Army! Koya also my favorite. Thank you for this video, just started playing this last week and needed the assistance.
I wish I watched this video sooner...I did all the mistakes you said NOT to do. oh no. lol I've been playing for only 3 weeks though so glad to know now vs later.
My goal sadly is not to spend any money on this game, otherwise I get carried away. You have so many diamonds and it temps me to spend money DX but I'll be strong. lol.
Thank you for this video glad it got recommended to me.
Don't worry everyone is still new at the game and honestly there's no REAL way to mess up your account so you're completely fine! I've got a lot of my diamonds because I am caught up in the game and when the game first came out I redeemed a lot of the codes🩷
Thanks for being real about it. NGL I did do a couple of the do not do because of those freaking Sovreign challenges
Thanks for the tips you gave on other vids on what to buy.
This was such a great video! Thanks for helping me understand some of these menus and how best to use them as a FTP nikki girl.
i love it, your attitude in the video is like a primary school teacher. fantastic XD
Omg fr 😂 I have a 7 & 8 year old and I was literally thinking "she's talking to me like I talk to my kids" I'm here for it though!
Thank you! I’m so confused with all of the things in this game! So overwhelming!
I wish I saw this when I started! Super informative. Thank you very much. 😁
You were so real for this tysm💜
Girl I wish I had you and this video in my life sooner! I've definitely wasted too much vital energy in the realm of escalation... :')
great tips! ad so glad to see people breaking it down.
we love a queen who spends their money wisely
OMG I have been spending everything so generously lol, thank you so much for all the tips! I have been trying so hard not to buy anything with real money but this game makes it extremely hard not too, I will follow ur tips so I can finally craft that stupid MO :(
Another thing to add. If you reach certain Mira levels you can get one pack of level-up materials for free.
THANK YOUUU! Earlier I was about to pull my hair out because I always found myself being poor in the game😭😭
I just stumbled on your videos because I was googling infinity Nikki quests, and I’m so glad I did! I love your calm way of explaining things. Instant subscribe, and I will find you on twitch!
2:30 It's 3k and not 60k. Each coin give you +100, and it definitely does not drop 600 of those. It drops ~30 and that's it. I just went and hunted one, and it gave me 3k. No idea is there a daily limit. Maybe that's 60k a day if you go and hunt 20 of those. I haven't tried to hunt them all. And it's pretty annoying to farm them daily, considering they may not even show up at the same location. Daily grind is one of the easiest ways to turn the game into a job and make you less happy after playing it. And that's quite counter-productive to the main purpose of playing the game. -_-
Your main sources of Bling (beside vital energy) are:
* Quests. And these are one-time, so you can't farm them.
* Events. And these are time-gated and one-time, so you can't farm them.
* Battle Pass (Mira Journey). It's somewhat helpful (especially if you pay for it) until level 50, and it gives 8k for each level past 50 until 70.
* Only after that is Overworld gathering. It gives some Bling, but it's nowhere enough for costly crafts and upgrades.
* Mira Crown gives Bling per star in Rewards section, but you are likely to spend more Bling on Glow Ups to get these stars in every patch. At least it compensates a bit. :)
Between unlocks in the Heart of Infinity, crafting cloth pieces and chasing stars in Mira Crown, you will run out of Bling, Threads and especially Bubbles all the time. And that's with BP, BTW. For example, we'll need around a month worth of Vital Energy just to unlock and craft Silvergale (unless you want to farm inspiration for free... this will take the next 1-2 years grinding daily, I suppose).
And if you wish to pull Surprise-O-Matic... I wouldn't recommend this since it'll annihilate all your Bling in seconds with next to nothing in return. Not sure when we'll ever have enough energy to be able to use it, since I expect devs to keep adding new regions and miracle outfits with those, and tabs in the Heart of Infinity. And inspiration upgrades for each region.
4:23 I have 9 left. Glow Ups for Mira Crown and Perfect rating in Factions (Sovereigns) cost me quite a lot of energy. And no, I barely ever bought Bling or Threads for it. That's almost exclusively Shiny Bubbles. -_- Daily energy most went into inspiration and Realm of Dark. And yes, inspiration is mandatory.
7:18 There's actually still a little bonus left after you buy the first time. Not sure about $5 one (didn't try to buy it yet), but $15 first time gives you 980×2 (1960 total) and on repeats 980+120 (1100 total). There's a similar bonus on all higher value packs. Not that it's a reason to buy them, though, unless you really want these store dresses or pull more on the limited banner.
7:26 But now you must log in daily for a month. >_> That's how they teach you to login daily if Vital Energy and daily quests isn't enough. Now you are loosing money!
11:43 All limited Featured packs worth more than directly buying Diamonds for Stellarite. But yes, their main purpose is to give you incentive to buy pulls for the limited banner "cheaper". If you spend on these, you are more likely to spend on buying Stellarite directly in the future. That's also the reason why they occasionally give you a free pack of potions there to make sure you have an annoying red mark in UI reminding you that Store is a thing that exists and don't you dare to forget about it. XD They also place it closer to the end, so you have to search for it and look at all the other propositions in the process.
Yeah I mentioned the pinned comment that I filmed this at 2 AM and so I misspoke. I think what I meant was if you get all of the pouches cause there's multiple at a time you get 16 K or you can get close to 16 K.
Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner. I just spent all my bubbles today leveling up outfits that definitely aren’t 4 or 5 star.
Welllll I’ve done quite a few no-nos… and I am feeling the result of that choice 😅 now I wonder if I should pause on progression and just explore, get resources and relax this month since I don’t LOVE the banner
Funny and one of the most informative nikkivideos i have seen! Thanks!😍
This is the first video i see from your channel and from now on I’m your Biggest FAN
Oooo super helpful tips! 🎉🎉
For the pack purchase I don't think it's scammy tho. Like the one you see, the starlight gift vii is 1800 stellarite for 20 pink crystals (the original price is 2425 stellarite) but if you realize when you pulls/draws for 10 pink crystals it uses 1200 diamonds, so if you exchange for 20 pink crystals it uses 2400 diamonds. So yeah, I think they’re still give us some discount on pack purchase.
I knew most of this already just from playing, but I was spending the vital energy on bling (whoops). Thankfully, I didn't spend it all and I only just started spending it on bling a few days ago. I know that I can get bling pretty easily out in the wild, but I was trying to get more outfits quicker and didn't realize that vital energy was that important. I won't be spending it on bling anymore. So far, I haven't spent any real money, but I might get that $4.99 thing that gets you 90 diamonds a day since I'm trying to get the limited banner. I don't really want much else from the store except maybe an outfit or two, but I'm not spending a lot of money on any outfit. There was one that's gone now that I liked, but it would have been like $15 and I'm not spending that on a single outfit. I think I'd spend no more than $5 on one. There is plenty of free stuff that I'm enjoying already.
I've done all quests and am struggling to farm the diamonds😭 I hope we are getting more quests soon as previous wishes/limited banners have costed me so much to get the outfit.
This has been so helpful!!! Thank you!
Best place for bling. Run the dream warehouse daily!
Another tip - save tranquility droplets and sparklites on the monthly crystal limits in their respective stores
Love the way you explain it, thank you :)
4:43 but instant gratification!! /hj no because yesterday I remembered there was this sketch that would make my outfit look really good and admittedly I did spend 150 crystals for energy. 😅 (needed 20 of one of those crystals)
AMAZING VIDEO!! Thankyou for sharing!
I didn’t realize you didn’t have to spend to get the blue permanent crystals…I feel like I only ever have 1 or 2 which isn’t enough!! Lol this was so helpful. ❤
It will definitely take time but eventually you will get all that you need!
W video. Subscribed!
edit: I already was subscribed. Turned on notifications lol
i have not been budgeting in this game TT gotta start for the new miracle outfit!!!!
Thanks for the tips!
Oh no! I've done most of the things you mentioned here lol 😭😭
I was excited when I saw how many diamonds you had thinking you were able to farm this much by just playing the game lol. But still good tips if I ever decided to spend real money
Thank you! This was so helpful
This is my first time watching you. You have Koya on your bed. So cute. I have Chimmy on mine lol. Ooo, girl, I am so thankful cause I was about to spend so much money. Thank you for this video, it really helped me out a lot. 💜
I saw some of your shorts and you crack me up so i came here to subscribe! 😊 I was desperate for shiny bubbles for the sovereign.
Welcome to the fam! Shiny bubbles are a struggle farm. 😭
not me spending diamonds on permanent resonance (never again thank youuuu)! these are great tips
I spent my Vital Energy on blind really early on before I unlocked the other features. I was going to sit on 350 anyway if I didn't spend it, and the next few days I unlocked the other features, so I don't spend the Vital Energy on blind anymore.
That's valid
Thank you so much! I just started playing and my dumb ass was spending energy crystals on bling lmao.
No moisturizer?? Girl you do care! I subbed so fast!
“Won’t come back for months” … try years. If you don’t LOVE the limited sets, skip it. Save your diamonds. Wait 1, 2, 3, 4 limited events for one you are in love with. There are always more pretty things, don’t buy something you only like 7/10 wait for the 9s and 10s
thank you, queen
now i feel kinda silly about spending my vital energy on bling during the double rewards event since i just wanted to pull on the surprise o matic ;;
I've literally no idea what I'm doing on this game, I'm just running around trying my best
I liked and subscribed. I only subscribe to 7 people and YT still gets what I like wrong lol. Ty so much for the video. Glad I watched before spending money on money 😭
I wish I watched this before I spent all my vital energy on blings...😭
2:29 Greedy Pouch only gives me like 3k bling not 60k wha am i doing wrongggg
Sorry it was 2 AM I don't think it actually gives you 60 K. I think if you get all of the pouches in one day you get like 16 or something.
I think needing to save 160 pulls for the five star is what im gonna go for. I believe thats usually enough for a recolor and the item for pics
