Players of the Ni no Kuni franchise know the value of improving their character’s equipment to ensure they have the means to fight the world’s many monsters. Such is the case for the Ni no Kuni MMO, Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, where both the real world and the world of VRMMO “Soul Divers” hangs in the balance. Thankfully, the game offers players a plethora of opportunities to dominate combat and save both worlds from impending doom - ranging from powerful skills, devastating spells, and equipment they can enhance with various materials.
For players who want to take their Cross Worlds journey more seriously, investing in Diamonds will allow them to better build their characters and their respective playstyles. And to Cross Worlds players who want a headstart in their character’s growth, just how exactly can they earn Diamonds in the game?
What Are Diamonds?
Before players dwell deeper on how to acquire Diamonds as beginners in Cross Worlds, it helps to first learn more about the currency. In the Ni no Kuni MMO, Diamonds are the most expensive in-game currency players could obtain, save for the Territe and Asterite Tokens.
Diamonds are necessary to upgrade gear and skills, contribute towards summoning new Familiars, and other functions that aim to boost the player’s overall performance in the game. Although expensive, players who use Diamonds properly can definitely feel a boost in their performance - be it through attaining a higher-level gear much faster or being able to skip the unnecessary grinding towards certain objectives.
Class Grade Rank Ups
One of the best ways players can earn Diamonds effortlessly is through making progress with their characters. At its core, achieving higher-level thresholds and tiers will be able to provide players with Diamonds. For instance, achieving Class Grades 4 and 5 upon Level 80 and 100 provides players with 1,000 and 2,000 Diamonds, respectively.
Not only that, but Class Grades are specific per Cross Worlds Class, meaning players can repeat the same process across the game’s four other Classes and reap similar rewards. This allows players to achieve the Class Grade 4 and 5 rewards up to five times if they create multiple characters, especially if they do so across all five Classes.
Familiar Journeys
When players acquire Familiars, they will likely recognize them as support units that not only can attack opponents but also provide various buffs. However, perhaps something more interesting about Familiars is how players can assign them to perform various tasks. These include Familiar Adventures, where Familiars can either fight monsters or gather resources for rewards, or Familiar Journeys, where players can accompany them in missions. Think of these Familiars as extra Class Passives that focus on resource acquisition.
It’s in Familiar Journeys, in particular, where players can have the chance to earn Diamonds. At its core, near the end of each exploration mission, there are areas where a large blue stone is located on the ground. Players need to fight the monsters guarding this stone before being able to open it, and this stone may contain a lot of Diamonds.
Speedrun The Labyrinth Of Dreams
Players who have grown in strength will likely start getting interested in some of the game’s more intense offerings, such as exceptionally-powerful Field Bosses or the stronger mobs of Chaos Fields. However, players may also want to consider breezing through the Labyrinth of Dreams, as their expertise in clearing this game mode’s various challenges can allow players to reap rewards in the form of Diamonds. This is especially if players have a handle on their Cross Worlds Class’s Core Abilities and other rotations.
At its core, the Labyrinth of Dreams acts as the game’s equivalent of the solo dungeon. This dungeon mode allows players to fight various monsters with specific level requirements, with each “Chapter” possessing ten stages of progressing difficulty. The faster players finish each Chapter, the more Diamonds they can earn as bonus rewards.
Buy Diamonds Directly
As a last resort, players who need Diamonds for some urgent matters may be able to purchase various bundles from the in-game store. Unlike the above methods that need players grinding for their Diamonds or specific Class Weapons for their Swordsman and other characters, purchasing them from the in-game store does require the use of real world money.
Before players dwell into this matter, they may want to ensure they have the extra funding before purchasing Diamonds. After all, they may see more value in trying to acquire Asterite or Territe from the cryptocurrency exchange instead. Similarly, players are advised to ensure they have all their security measures updated before purchasing online to avoid scammers and hackers.
Spending Diamonds Efficiently
After learning how to acquire Diamonds, players may also want to learn exactly how to spend their Diamonds appropriately. Given how a lot of the nicer features in the game require a bit of Diamonds, it’s tempting for players of tough Classes such as the Destroyer to just splurge what they have to avoid the slightest inconvenience. However, approaching Diamond spending properly can help players advance towards the game’s tougher components easily. Here are some of the most ideal ways players can spend their diamonds:
- Diamond Rebate: Players can invest as much as 1,600 Diamonds and leave them for an entire week. However, aside from getting back their Diamonds, they also get a whole assortment of bonuses such as items, Energy Drinks, and high-level equipment.
- Familiars: Given how potent Familiars can become at higher levels, players gearing towards specific builds may want to get a particular Familiar. Thankfully, Diamonds can help players gather biscuits that they can use to tame Familiars or even purchase extremely specific Familiars.
- Energy Drinks: In the game, Energy Drinks allow players to boost their Experience on top of item and Gold drops. Using this right before Auto-Play or grinding may allow players to gather more items efficiently throughout their farming process. An Energy Drink costs 50 Diamonds, with each additional purchase costing another 50 Diamonds. In turn, it costs 150 Diamonds to gather the Energy Drinks. It’s recommended to be wise in the Energy Drink purchase process, as the price for Energy Drinks do reset to 50 the next day.
