I still remember logging into Infinity Nikki after the 1.5 update dropped, my stylist heart pounding with anticipation. The moment I saw that celestial Sea of Stars outfit shimmering in the Heart of Infinity section, I knew I had to have it. But here's the twist – unlike the cozy Whimstar collecting I'd grown accustomed to across Miraland's open world, this new Miracle Outfit demanded something elusive called Ethereal Stars. It felt like chasing moonbeams across the ocean at midnight.

That first week was pure chaos. I'd wander Dream Star Isles aimlessly, hoping they'd appear like regular materials. Nope. I tried replaying old chapters – nothing. Then, while fumbling through the Daily Tasks menu, I spotted it – a new tab called Starlit Moment nestled beside Daily Wishes. Opening it felt like cracking open a nebula. Glowing crystal shards floated mid-screen, each whispering strange tasks:

  • Sound the Starbell at Warp Nexus 🌌

  • Complete Bubble Dreamland challenges 🫧

  • Gather stardust fragments in Dream Star Isles ✨

That Starbell task? Absolutely magical. When I rang it at the Warp Nexus, the entire zone erupted in silver fireflies for exactly ten seconds – Ethereal Stars and Starlit Crystals pulsing like captured supernovas. I’d scramble madly, heart racing as the glow faded. But truth? This method’s painfully limited – maybe two or three stars daily if you’re lightning-fast. The real jackpot lies in systematically grinding those Starlit Moment tasks.

Every morning at 4:00 server time (yes, I set alarms), I’d dive back in. Watching that progress bar creep toward 500 points became my ritual. Hit the mark? Boom – 8 Ethereal Stars and 20 Starlit Crystals materialized. Do the math: 8 stars daily means roughly two weeks of grinding for just one Sea of Stars sketch. And there are seven sketches. Seven! My stylist soul wept at the commitment.

Then came the crafting phase. Unlocking a sketch is only half the battle. You still need to:

  1. Open the Sketches tab

  2. Hunt down specific materials

  3. Pray to the fashion gods while assembling

Meanwhile, those Starlit Crystals? Don’t sleep on the Starlit Shop. It’s hiding in the Starlit Moment menu – a trove of poses and accessories split between Permanent and Limited-Time tabs. The limited section haunts me daily. Items like Solitary Shadow and Nightfall Escape will vanish when 1.5 ends, their purple-and-gold rarity tags taunting my FOMO. My current obsession? Elegant Duet Dance – a co-op pose where you waltz mid-air with another player. Pure magic for photo mode.

As I write this, three sketches still glitter mockingly from my Heart of Infinity page. But when I finally crafted the Stellar Veil headpiece last Tuesday? Worth every grind. Watching my avatar shimmer with cosmic dust under Miraland’s twin moons... that’s the addiction Infinity Nikki masters. The Ethereal Stars aren’t just currency – they’re fragments of patience, woven into constellations one stubborn day at a time.

So if you're starting this journey now? Embrace the rhythm. Let the Starlit Moment tasks become your daily meditation. And when you ring that Starbell, sprint like the universe depends on it – because in that fleeting, glittering moment, it absolutely does.
