#ultimate race

cost to complete (after free tries): 

blue suit: 820 - 525 (75 free x 7 days) = 295 flags = 590 diamonds red suit: 1001 - 525 (75 free x 7 days) = 476 flags = 952 diamonds [30 diamonds = 3 attempts = 15 flags]

but the blue suit’s items are WAY more useful than the red (i’m actually suprised how under-powered the red suit is considering its cost)

so if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck and you only plan to complete one suit, i would recommend going for the blue one

blue suit top items:

Shoes - 1 commision Gloves - 3 chapters Makeup - 4 chapters, 3 commisions Earrings - 8 chapters, 1 commision best item: Hairpin - 26 chapters, 5 commissions, 2 arenas **overall best**

red suit top items:

Gloves - 2 chapters Background - 2 chapters best item: Right Handheld - 2 chapters, 1 commission

This month is the 1st anniversary of Love Nikki’s English server. As of today, they’ve announced the arrival of 15 new suits coming this month! The three events in which you can receive them (and how to get them) are listed below, as well as the reveal of a new feature. But before that, here’s a kind of big update: 

On April 11th, the Double Diamonds gift for diamond recharge is going to be reset! Even if you’ve already claimed it, it will be available to reclaim again. You can only claim it once, but it’s kinda nice to get a second first. ^^

Now, without further ado, our upcoming events.

Ultimate Race

Event Dates: April 11th- April 17th

Suits: Track Blazer and Blue Fantasy

Extra Goodies: A background

Free or Paid?: Free. Collect Victory Flags with 3 Free attempts per day on an Event Map. (Can also buy Victory Flags directly in the User’s Shop.)

How it works: The Event Map has 5 stages: 2 quiz stages and 3 styling battles. Each time you play a stage, you’ll earn “Victory Flags.” Play those stages over and over again until you earn enough Victory Flags to exchange for pieces of each set. (How to obtain the background is still unclear, but my best guess is it could be a reward for finishing up both suits. UPDATE: We still don’t know for sure, but gonna keep you posted!) 

Collection Attempt Limits: There are 3 free attempts (per stage) per day. If you fail a stage, it does not count as an attempt. Unclear, but most likely, you can buy more attempts with diamonds-- or pay for Victory Flags directly. 

My Fave Suit: Blue Fantasy on the whole but love the hair and pose of Track Blazer!

Anniversary Lucky Bags

Event Dates: April 11th- April 27th

Suits: Ode to Glory, Flower Lyric, Time Flies, Bamboo Song, and Momo’s Adventure

Extra Goodies: A background with Ode to Glory; Diamonds Postercards (which contain diamonds that you can get from or give to friends/ association members)

Free or Paid?: Paid. Recharge diamonds directly from the Diamond Recharge to earn Stars. Use Stars to claim lucky bags (UPDATE: find them in the sidebar under Lucky Bag). 

HOWEVER, there’s a free-ish component, too. Diamond Postercards can be gained by purchasing diamonds ($4.99 tier or more), but also by signing in every day or receiving from friends/ association members--- and that’s a free guarantee! 

How it works: Buy diamonds directly from the Diamond Recharge to earn Stars. Trade Stars for Lucky Bags. Each Lucky Bag will contain a random outfit (UPDATE: YES. A full suit! My first being TIME FLIES!!!! EEEEEK!!!) from these 5 suits. Please note that Ode to Joy will DEFINITELY be in the last bag! However, it’s the world premiere of that suit, it has its own background, and there are guarantees that you will NOT gain a duplicate set from the Lucky Bags. In other words, buy five Lucky Bags to earn all five suits!

Collection Attempt Limits: There are no limitations on the amounts of diamonds/ Stars you can collect, but it is likely that there will only be 5 Lucky Bags in total, one for each suit. Will update as we know more! 

My Fave Suit: Time Flies. Is that weird? (Runner up: Flower Lyric. But it ain’t got no cat.)

Time Yard Pavilion

Event Dates: April 11th- April 27th (?)

Suits: Spring: Cloud’s Smile and Wind’s Whisper | Summer: Flute’s Thoughts and Lantern Wish | Autumn: Stellar Atlas and Galactic Classics | Winter: Warmth Nearby and Bond in Distance

Extra Goodies: 70% off until the 27th (this is why the end date is unclear lol!) and 4 backgrounds for the four seasons!

Free or Paid?: Freeish. Gotta start farming those diamonds because it costs the shiny shiny to draw.

How it works: This long-term pavilion is open until at least the 27th. Draw Karma Crystals with all of your diamonds, then visit the Pavilion’s Exchange Store to collect pieces of the girls’ suits and the four backgrounds. To claim the boy’s suit, complete the girl’s suit that complements it! UPDATE: Find it in the Mystery Pavilion!

Collection Attempt Limits: The only limit is the amount of diamonds you has in your life. For a how-to on Diamond Farming by Sailor Drew, click here (or get the quick version from Momo via sweetpinkstylist here). 

My Fave Suit: As a pair: I LOVE Winter and Autumn. Spring is super cute, too. But the girls’ suits are so lacking compared to the boys! For the boys, Autumn is the fave, followed by Winter, Spring, Summer (but I love em all). For the girls, Summer is my fave, followed by Autumn/Winter. Spring’s alright. (Basically, just give me all the backgrounds doh).

And finally... an update. 

The Time Diary feature will be available April 11th. You can see a map of Miraland. You can read the story without going through each phase (and find phases involving certain characters/ themes). AND you can earn rewards like free backgrounds! This is going to be a new fave of mine because it will allow a deeper look into the STORY part of the game. And that’s exactly what I’ve been looking to do! 

May Momo be with us all (or not, because seriously, that cat needs his eyes checked with his sense of fashion...)
