Collecting crafting materials inInfinityNikkiis required for both making new clothes and completing certain quests, as some people ask for specific items, while some others require players to use a certain outfit to inspire them to make new sketches. At first, players can happily collect materials as long as they have the means to interact with their surroundings, but later on, high-rarity items call for advanced materials.
For example, Stylists may have tobeat Bouldy in the Realm Challenge, or collect some Essence in the open world. If players don’t know how toget Essence inInfinity Nikki, then they can read on to find out.

Essence In Infinity Nikki
To get Essence inInfinity Nikki, players simply have to collect the materials like they normally would. However, they must firstunlock the respective upgrade nodes in the Heart of Infinity.
Animal Grooming, Fishing, Collecting, and Bug Catching all have their own upgrade, which means players have to unlock the node where they wish to get the Essence of. For instance, to get the Bunny Fluff Essence,players have to open the Animal Groomingupgrade, but if they wish to collect Starlit Plum Essence or Sizzpolen Essence, then they must upgrade the Collecting nodes.

Bunny Fluff Essence, Starlit Plum Essence, and Sizzpolen Essence are all required tocraft the Wishful Aurosa outfit inInfinity Nikki, so it’s highly recommended to focus on maximizing those first.

In the first Essence upgrade, Stylists will start getting Essence fromMemorial Mountains and Florawish. In the second upgrade, Essence will start to drop fromBreezy Meadowsarea.Only items of brown rarity or above can drop Essence inInfinity Nikki.

Stylists only need the first upgrade to get the items for the Wishful Aurosa outfit.
How To Get Insight In Infinity Nikki
Insight inInfinity Nikkiis like material collecting EXP, so players can grind Insight by getting items. Each material grants a different amount of Insight based on rarity, and there’s adaily cap for insight collection. This means maximizing Insight gain can be a part of the players' daily routine.
If collecting Insight manually is too slow or tedious, Stylists can also head to theRealm of NourishmentinInfinity Nikkiand trade their materials and Vital Energy for EXP. Only items of brown rarity or higher can be swapped for Insight.
