Unlocking Stellar Fruit in Infinity Nikki: A Comprehensive Guide
Infinity Nikki's vast array of stylish outfits requires diverse crafting materials, some easily found, others more elusive. Stellar Fruit falls into the latter category. This guide details how to acquire this sparkling ingredient.
Obtaining Stellar Fruit
Stellar Fruit is a semi-rare material exclusive to the Wishing Woods. Access is unlocked during Chapter 6 of the main storyline, after completing the Abandoned District sequence. Once inside, assist Timis to open the path to the Wish Inspection Center.
However, there's a crucial detail: Stellar Fruit only appears at night on unique Chronos Trees. During the day, these trees bear Sol Fruit. To quickly reach nighttime, utilize your Pear-Pal's "Run, Pear-Pal" function, advancing the in-game time to 22:00 (the first hour of nighttime). Conveniently, you can locate a daytime Sol Fruit tree, skip time, and instantly harvest Stellar Fruit.
Harvesting the Fruit
Each Chronos Tree yields up to three Stellar Fruits. You can either jump to reach them or "Push" the tree to knock the fruit to the ground. Be swift, as Maskwing Bugs attempt to steal fallen fruit. Prioritize collecting the fruit they carry, then use a Bug-Catching outfit to capture the bugs themselves.
Utilizing the Map
After your first Stellar Fruit discovery, leverage your in-game map for efficient harvesting. Access the "Collections" tab (bottom-left corner of the map), locate Stellar Fruit under the "Plants" category, and select "Track." This highlights nearby fruit locations. A sufficiently upgraded Collection Insight will also allow you to gather Stellar Fruit Essence.

Alternative Method: The In-Game Store
The in-game store ("Resonance" tab) offers Stellar Fruit (up to 5 per month), but requires Surging Ebb (obtained from duplicate 5-Star clothing). Due to the rarity of Surging Ebb, this is not a recommended method.
Important Note: Remember to collect other limited-time items, such as Pink Ribbon Eels (available during the Shooting Star season, V.1.1).
