Time-gating is a common system for free-to-play gacha games like Infinity Nikki. It’s meant to keep players playing at a steady pace and not complete everything on day one. In Infinity Nikki, this time-gate system comes in the form of Vital Energy, which is used to collect rewards from the Realm Challenges.
One Realm, though, looks particularly peculiar since it grants Insight. But what does Insight do, and how players can get Insight fast in Infinity Nikki, is something that Stylists must figure out on the go.

How To Get Insight
Insight is a type of EXP in Infinity Nikki that players can earn by performing specific tasks related to collecting materials. There are five types of Insight:
- Collection Insight
- Bug-Catching Insight
- Fishing Insight
- Animal-Grooming Insight
- Combat Insight
Players can get different numbers of Insights depending on the quality of the materials they’re taking, ranging from one to five Insights.

Daily Insight Capacity
There’s a daily cap for each Insight gain in Infinity Nikki:
Daily Insight Capacity In Infinity Nikki |
|
---|---|
Collection |
200 Insight |
Combat, Bug-Catching, Fishing, and Animal-Grooming Insight |
100 Insight |
Materials in Infinity Nikki respawn after 24 hours, so players can make Insight farming a daily task.
Players can also exchange their Vital Energy in Infinity Nikki in the Realm of Nourishments to get Insights faster. As this one costs you Energy, it doesn’t count towards the daily capacity. Generally, it’s best to naturally farm insights daily in the wild, but players with limited time can use this feature to maximize their Insight EXP.

What Are Insights For?
Insight is used to unlock some nodes in the Infinity Heart. Doing so will grant players an outfit sketch or the ability to collect Essence in Infinity Nikki from certain areas. In summary, here’s what players need to upgrade their Insight-related Infinity Heart nodes:

Collecting high-quality materials in the Memorial Mountains, Florawish, and Breezy Meadow offers a chance to earn double rewards. |
While collecting Insight, some creatures may run away if players don’t sneak. In this case, players can simply teleport away then return, or exit to the main menu and re-enter. The creature will be back in the same spot.

Chronos Trees
There are five Chronos Trees locations in the Wishing Woods of Infinity Nikki. Chronos Trees is where players can get Sol Fruit, Stellar Fruit, and Maskwing. Sol Fruit and Stellar Fruit are purple-rarity materials that grant two Insights, whereas Maskwing is a blue-rarity bug that gives three Insights.
Sol Fruit is obtainable in the daytime, whereas Stellar Fruit is the nighttime version.
Visiting these five places will give players 27 Sol Fruit/Stellar Fruit (54 Collection Insight) and 12 Maskwing (36 Bug-Catching Insight).
5
Bullquet Habitat
Bullquet Habitat is located west of the Lakeside Hill Lane Warp Spire. There, players can catch three Bustleflies flying on the Bullquet’s head, then brush the Bullquet to get Bullquet Felt worth five Animal-Grooming Insights. Next, pass the time in Infinity Nikki to around midnight to spawn 12 more Bustleflies around the area.
In total, players will get five Animal-Grooming Insights + 45 Bug-Catching Insights.
6
Sockos
Players who are seeking higher-quality bugs can hunt the elusive Socko in Infinity Nikki, available in seven spots around Florawish and Breezy Meadow. In total, players can accumulate 35 Bug-Catching Insights from the seven locations, on top of some nearby items like Wool Fruits.
7
Astral Feather & Dawn Fluff
Purple materials not only give five Insights each but players can only collect some of them once per day. Take the Astral Feather and Dawn Fox’s Dawn Fluff, for example. These items are only available from one creature each, capping the collection to one per day. Thankfully, the two majestic animals grant a total of 10 Animal-Grooming Insights.
8
Night Velvet, Rose Velvet, and Bibcoon Furball
Although they’re not rated as purple since they’re not considered legendary animals, the swans in Swan Gazebo and Bibcoon by the Bibcoon Club are also unique as only one of each exists on the map. Visiting these three spots will grant nine Animal-Grooming Insights.
9
Stoneville – Floral Fleece And More
The next best place to earn Animal-Grooming Insight is Stoneville. Hunt the six (or seven if you want to walk far) Floral Fleece in the area to gain 18 Animal-Grooming Insight. In the process, players can also brush the normal Florist Sheeps, or Bowlers, each granting one Insight; or the Beretsants, which gives two Insights.
If necessary, Stylists can also groom the Suspenders Weasels in the area. Each also gives three Insights. There are 11 of them nearby (12 if you walk far south), which means 33 Animal-Grooming Insight. Additionally, this area is littered with bugs, making it the perfect place to collect all sorts of Insights.
10
Stoneville & Stellar Fishing Ground
For Fishing Insight, players can first follow the river that flows through Stoneville. Each should grant four to seven Insights, meaning you can earn 48 to 84 Fishing Insights, depending on your luck.
Afterward, head to the Stellar Fishing Ground where you can hunt the legendary Tulletail for five Fishing Insights. Tulletail is only available in the ripple right in the middle of the island. There are 10 fishing spots here, which should complete the 100 Insights you need when combined with the Stoneville spots.
11
Combat Insight
Finally, for Combat Insight, the following areas are especially filled with Esselings:
- Abandoned Fanatic Wisher Camp
- Queen’s Palace Ruins
- Wishing Woods
- Caves
Players can also head to the ruins south of the Relic Hill Warp Spire where they can get the outfit sketch to complete the Kindled Inspiration: Animal Traces quest in Infinity Nikki. There are around 20 enemies in the ruins, and four on the road leading to it.
