Infinity Nikki 1.8 Gifties Guide (Danqing Season)
More Gifties are playing hide and seek at Danqing Island in Infinity Nikki's 1.8 update. Here's how and where to find them all.
How to Get Inkblot Buckle in Infinity Nikki
Inkblot Buckle is a permanent crafting material introduced as part of Infinity Nikki's Danqing Season (1.8). To get them you need to find and purify an Esseling unique to Danqing Island called the Inkblot Bag. They're very similar in appearance to the Trap Sharks found primarily in the Wishing Woods area of Wishfield, albeit a lighter shade of blue.
You can find them in various areas around Danqing Island, and once you've purified at least one Inkblot Bag, the Inkblot Buckle material will be added to your map's item tracker. You can use that to track general areas where Inkblot Bags will spawn. All known areas on the Danqing Island map for Inkblot Bags are shown below.
Additionally, you can find more inside Aroma Cave and Echo Grotto, the two caverns where you complete their respective Find Fragrance quests (find them under the 'Worldly Encounters' tab in the 'Fun to Play' menu).
When you find them, you can purify them by shooting their backside (the side not covered by metal) with purifying orbs. Each one will reward you with 1 x Inkblot Buckle.
How to Use Inkblot Buckle in Infinity Nikki
The Inkblot Buckle is a resource material that can be used to craft the Drifting Blossoms fragrance added to the game during the Danqing Season (1.8). Along with other materials such as Awakening Drums and Maple Cloth, you'll need a total of 30 x Inkblot Buckle to craft this hand powder fragrance.
Remember that Esselings take time to respawn (sometimes a daily server reset) after you've defeated them, so if you're in need of several Inkblot Buckle, make sure to check back at the confirmed spawn locations on a daily basis.
