Author’s Note: A new, revised version of this post can be found here.

Welcome to Miraland Stylist!

Infinity Nikki is the latest and fifth instalment in the Nikki games. It is also the first to be released on PC and PlayStation 5. Previously, the games were only available on Mobile. The game is now live and welcoming new Stylists to Miraland! Don’t worry if you haven’t played any of the previous Nikki games, either, as you can dive straight into the cosiest game of the year straight away!

Now that you’re starting your journey in Miraland, you might be wondering how to get started? Maybe looking for some notes on different aspects of the game to help get started. Well, here is some handy information to help you along the way as you journey into Miraland for the first time!

The World of Miraland

Infinity Nikki is set in the world of Miraland. A beautiful and mesmerizing open world ready to explore.

As you start to explore Miraland, you’ll be able to explore four different locations:

Florawish
Breezy Meadows
Stoneville & the Abandoned District
Wishing Woods

There are more areas planned to be added over time and fear not, you can fast travel around the world as well if needs be by using Warp Spires!

Quests

In Infinity Nikki, there are four different types of quests. Main, World, Exclusive and Random.

Main: These quests follow Nikki and Momo on their journey through Miraland. Discovering and unlocking the pieces of the Miracle Outfit and to help save Miraland. These quests are divided up into different chapters, unlock new Ability Outfits and locations.
Exclusive: These are quests that require various subquests for Nikki to complete. These are recognised by their Gold Markers.
World: World quests are those given by NPC’s throughout the game and act like side quests. These are individual stories that are not part of the Main Quests. While they vary in length, they are generally shorter than those that cover the core story. These are highlighted by Blue Markers on the world map.
Random: These quests occur frequently across Miraland. They are usually short and could involve the player collecting resources or visiting a particular location. Some Random Quests are part of a bigger series of quests that take you across Miraland. These are also highlighted with Blue Markers on the world map.

Additionally, you’ll be able to explore a range of mini-games, events and Styling Challenges to name a few through your time in Infinity Nikki. However, it’s important to remember there is no right or wrong way to complete quests. The only thing to keep in mind is any time limits that some quests may have. These are usually tied into the current Season of Infinity Nikki and may also include limited time rewards.

Ability Outfits

Different outfits will grant Nikki different abilities throughout the game. There’s one for floating/jumping, and fishing. However, there are also outfits for bug catching, purifying and grooming. These will help you on your journey through Miraland with Nikki and Momo. Typically, these are unlocked through the Main quests of the game.

Additional clothing options can be purchased from NPC’s in the game using in-game currency or by Resonance.

The User Interface

Don’t be alarmed, at first glance, the user interface for Infinity Nikki may seem overwhelming. With lots of different tabs and icons and just a lot going on all at once. Personally, my best advice is to take some time just exploring the interface. Explore each button and menu, and take a look through each compendium just to get an idea as to what is what so that you can navigate the basics. The game does do a good job of explaining each aspect and tab as you unlock those features.

To start with, it may feel like some of the menus and compendium seem irrelevant, however as you progress into the game, they will begin to make sense. Even more so once you unlock the Pear-Pal feature a few hours into the game. In fact, the Pear-Pal is something you’ll soon find yourself navigating with so much ease.

Resources

Collect any and all resources that you come across!

While you might not need them to start with early in the game, they certainly will be useful as you progress. These can be anything from the likes of plants, animal materials, bugs, fish and drops from enemies. It’s also important to note that different areas can have different resources depending on the time of day and the weather!

Collecting these resources will also help you craft outfits, including the Miracle Outfits, Ability Outfits, Stylish Outfits, Rare Pieces and Whim Fragrance. The resources you collect will also help when you are taking part in some of the Realm Challenges, for example, the Realm of Escalation.

Currencies

Infinity Nikki has a lot of different currencies. However, each playing their part in the game.

Blings: The main everyday currency found throughout Miraland. These are easily found in the game.
Diamonds, Premium Currency: Found in chests, completing quests, mini-games, levelling up and other areas of the game
Stellarites, Premium Currency: This can be purchased directly by players for a set amount, which can then be redeemed against in-game pulls.
Resonite & Revelation Crystals: Earned in a variety of ways in the game, this currency can be obtained by levelling up your Mira level, improving your compendium levels, advancing your stylist rank and more!
Surging Ebb is obtained when you get a four or five-star copy whereas for three start copies, you will gain Tranquility Droplets
Dews of Inspiration: Not a currency as such, but once you’ve collected a certain amount, they can be traded with particular NPC’s known as Cadenceborns in order to unlock Cadenceborn Treasures. These can also be found scattered around the world
Vital Energy: More of a resource than currency, but these can be used to help with evolving materials, crafting materials, increasing your player insights and helping get eurekas. This appears to be a limited resource with a maximum amount available that then refills over time
Camera Upgrades: Obtained by completing camera quests, these allow you to unlock more enhancements for your camera including filters, poses and lighting.
Epiphany Crystals: A new type of currency added following the April 7th maintenance that are limited to only being used against 4-Star outfit Resonance. These currently can be purchased via the in-game store and come in various sized bundles containing Epiphany Crystals and Blings.

Resonance (Gacha System)

The gacha side of the game is completely optional. You can still experience the full game without any worries. You can also use the currency that you earn in the game against rewards in the Resonance features. This means you don’t have to spend any real money on the game.

There are two sides to Resonance. Firstly, there are permanent banners which are outfits that will be available all the time. The second is limited banners, which as the name suggests are limited time. At launch, the first wave of limited-time banners is expected to be available until 18th December 2024.

You can spend either one or ten crystals at a time. Resonite Crystals can be redeemed against the permanent banners, whereas Revelation Crystals can be used against the limited-time banners.

For the best chance of getting the higher-ranked pulls, try to save up enough crystals to do a ten-times pull.

Additionally, in Florawish, there is “gum-ball” gacha machine where you can use Bling to unlock more clothing items at random.

Promotional Codes & Events

From time to time, the Infinity Nikki Team will be sharing special limited time codes. These will generally grant the player a number of currency or resources that can then be redeemed in game.

The best places to find these are by keeping your eyes peeled on the Infinity Nikki X account, Pear-Pal X account, Infinity Nikki Instagram and the official Infinity Nikki Discord Server.

Alongside promotional codes, you may find that there are special limited time events, just like the one that starts on 6th December 2024 for Nikki’s birthday. These will likely vary in content, but for this event, we got a lovely celebratory outfit for Nikki to wear!

Since the game has launched, we’ve seen various Seasons within the game. These launch when the game has a longer maintenance and introduces a wave of new content for players. Midway through each season, a smaller update then introduces a second wave of new content. This includes new quests, Resonance Outfits and more.

There truly is so much to explore in Infinity Nikki, even as you are just getting started on your journey into Miraland. I hope that these points help explain some of the features of the game or serve as a quick reminder to different aspects of the game.

See you in Miraland!
