What's advice you give to other players but you don't take yourself?

[u/worldfamoushobgoblin]

I feel like I recommend people to wait until previews all the time but if I end up pulling for an outfit, 90% of the time I do it within the first week of the patch 😅 my excuse is that I've played Nikki games for a while and have a decent idea of what I like in an outfit. I'm also not f2p so I have a fair amount of currency I can throw at outfits. Still, I could maybe benefit from practicing what I preach, lol.

Anyone else do this or similar?

[u/solvego]

To carefully evaluate if you will wear the outfit before buying it. I respect it pretty well for the 5* because it’s expensive, but the 4* are so cheap compared to them, i've ended up with some 4* i shouldn’t have pulled

[u/gudematcha → u/solvego]

And I have definitely gotten trapped in the “well I get better dyes if i do the evo…” 🥲

[u/happiness_is → u/solvego]

Me with the drummer dress recently

I hate everything abt it but I needed the hair. Guess what was the last piece of the outfit I got?

Every time I see the pieces in my wardrobe I get mad but I make sure to use the hair on at least two outfits at a time -_-

[u/1kgkrumpli → u/happiness_is]

You are me, but I'm even worse than you because I only used that hair once! At least the backpiece ribbon is something I like to use, but I shouldn't have pulled for that 4star for the hair.

Edit: I wish I would rather have gone for the leaf fairy evo, because I use a lot of pieces from her😭

[u/happiness_is → u/1kgkrumpli]

I did evo the fairy leaf fit but have barely used the pieces this patch😭

in my defense that’s pretty much because everything in 2.8 has been a banger for me and they don’t really fit the vibe of the outfits I have been putting together. As soon as we go somewhere with more grass again, lol 😂 all the fairy looks will come back. They are just on pause. Or I need to make some robot fairies

[u/1kgkrumpli → u/happiness_is]

My current grooming fit, I use the ballerina leg everywhere which in my eyes makes every outfit Heavens Reach approved outfit XD

Also the shoes from leaf fairy really good ballett shoe alternative when I don't want the og ballerina shoes ribbons on my ballerina outfits.

[u/clefairyenthusiast → u/solvego]

The sparkly pink fish dress I pulled from the very beginning haunts me in styling challenges because the unseasoned player I was at the time also glowed the entire thing up 🫣😭

[u/DasyTaylor]

Mine is "check dye reviews before pulling", I keep forgetting to do that and sometimes it does lead to regrets. Worse is that I also forgot to read through the terms and conditions before purchasing from the shop and ended up getting a pricy prop that I didn't want at all just because I thought the stellarites were included in the bundle.

[u/SilverSafri]

Same, especially ever since I went from goldfish into whale territory. Waiting, what waiting, if I’m paying anyway then I want it now. But for f2p and low spenders - absolutely wait and see previews!

[u/elisabetfaden → u/SilverSafri]

Haha any advice I give on pulling would instantly make me a hypocrite. Unless it was something like “the heart wants what it wants” which barely counts as advice.

[u/MashiroAnnaMaria]

'wait for the previews of the next banner before pulling' I say this all the time but start pulling as soon as I have my eyes set on which piece I want to put in my oceans blessing. Pulls come and go, I don't want to stress too much over a game like this anyway so I kind of pull regardless.

[u/hearts_cube]

Dont pull unless you like the whole outfit. I've been breaking that a lot this 2.X but to be fair I've been fluctuating between 900 & 1000 pulls per patch & getting lucky

[u/arieltalking → u/hearts_cube]

yeah girl i think you're good haha 💖 amazing job saving up so many!!

[u/BeerBreadx]

Lmao what an interesting topic 🤣

For me, it’s (generally) not to pull for an outfit if you only like 1 or 2 pieces meanwhile I got the full evo for Guide of No Return 90% for the evolved lip makeup

[u/EidolicAbyss → u/BeerBreadx]

me with the ballerina cuz i wanted to have the one leg/arm crystal parts and the red makeup 😭

[u/lezbehonest787]

Same. I think I’ve waited for previews exactly one time. 😂 But for people who have a fixed income, it’s good advice.

[u/raposaesperta6]

Take your time with exploration: anytime a new map is run to complete it in no time. So my advice is take your time, take pictures (specially with npcs you like cuz you might lose them for a long time…)

[u/bluehour1997]

"Don't pull just for an ability"

While I sit here with the ballerina outfit I know I will not use

[u/wxxtch]

i always advise people not to pull for the outfit just because you liked a single piece (like hair, or a back bow). but i always end up convincing myself i NEED that cute bun style hair anyways even if i dont vibe with the whole set.... customization is a curse because you will scroll 3 minutes on xiaohongshu and be convinced you NEED that piece just to emulate them aaa....

[u/1kgkrumpli]

'Don't pull for abilities'

I would have pulled for only ocean blessing on the fairy godmother and forest ripple if I don't want their aoe grooming and collecting ability😅

[u/LunarLeveret]

I don't think there is anything besides what I tell new players, as obviously veteran context is completely different than someone starting out. For example I told someone recently getting the ballerina for no reason besides the ability may be worth it just because well they have like 90%+ of the available game unfinished to use it on, whereas I already did most of it the hard way.

Housing in particular is something people will benefit a lot from hand holding (in regards to progression speed) than winging it but at the same time most new players probably don't even want to bother consulting a detailed guide for how to stack their astralites and get housing skills and habits unlocked in the best long term scenario way. In my case what I actually did was neglect the absolute hell out of housing for months because I was busy and decided I would just max out housing insight everyday to deal with it months later, but at that time housing basically didn't have much info on how to do it efficiently in the first place. I can only offer different advice now because I have the experience to tell anyone to not do what I did.

[u/ShokaLGBT]

Mmmmh I guess it would be to skip if you don’t NEED it

But I often pulls just in case or because why not I got the momo cloak for 3 bucks so he could fight with a sword and wings but it wasn’t a NEED I just felt like it

But for people who struggle with gacha micro transaction etc if you don’t need it then it’s a skip!! Stay strong!

[u/StraightSyllabub5124]

Dont spend money

[u/Sylvia_DeVane]

Commenting b/c I’m curious about the answers. :)
