How to upgrade your Stylist Rank in Infinity Nikki

Climb the ranks for more valuable rewards

To progress through the main story of Infinity Nikki, you will need to work on upgrading your Stylist Rank. It’s a bit of a process, but there are many things you can do to climb through the ranks of the Stylist’s Guild.

Infinity Nikki is all about fashion and playing dress-up at its heart, so it makes sense that one of the main leveling systems revolves around styling outfits. Increasing your Stylist Rank unlocks more of the story for you to explore and offers unique rewards and a whole pile of Diamonds for use in the store. Here’s a complete guide to leveling up your Stylist Rank.

Before you can begin actively working on your Stylist Rank, you’ll need to have reached Florawish and registered under the Stylist’s Guild. After this, you’ll unlock the Pear-Pal, which will allow you to check on Courses. Under this menu, you’ll find all of the different objectives and goals that can be completed to upgrade your Stylist Rank.

Upgrading your Stylist Rank is as easy as exploring and playing the game. Progressing through the main story will get you some of the way, but you’ll need to complete separate challenges and objectives to make up the difference. 

These challenges are as simple as catching various (or specific) fish, grooming animals, unlocking Warp Spires, or collecting a certain number of specific resources. It’s essentially a checklist of things that can be completed passively over time but can also be rushed if you’re trying to speed things along. 

Pretty early into the game’s main story, you need to upgrade your Stylist Rank to “Skilled Stylist” before you can progress. It’s worth noting that this is time-gated, and you physically cannot reach the “Skilled Stylist” level in a single game of playing. This is due to the Daily Wish system, which only allows you to earn a maximum of 500 stars per day, while you need to reach 500 stars to progress to “Skilled Stylist.” After the daily reset at 4 p.m. in your chosen server’s time zone, you can make more progress.

While the Daily Wish feature is a bit of a headache, the progression trackers can be completed as quickly as you like, and progress will accumulate and pass on to the next level increase. To see them, open up the Pear-Pal and select “Courses.”

There are a total of five different subcategories of Courses, each of which will require you to complete different objectives:

CategoryWhat’s included
Whim Changes the WorldObjectives surrounding clothes and styling are all included in this subcategory, with objectives such as taking part in Styling Contests, unlocking Ability Outfits, or upgrading clothes and Eurekas. 
Burst of InspirationAnything to do with general exploration goes here, including the unlocking of Warp Spires, tracking down Whimstars, or opening up treasure chests around Miraland.
Grow TogetherYou’ll complete objectives in this category for completing side quests or random quests. You’lll also earn rewards for shopping or interacting with other players. 
Trial of BraveryAnything combat related is included here, such as defeating Esselings or clearing Curio Domains and Realm Challenges. 
A Kaleidoscope WorldEssentially the miscellaneous category, featuring objectives to complete with Kilo the Cadenceborn, rewards for upgrading photo mode, clearing minigames, traveling by Whimcycle, and other side content that doesn’t fit anywhere else.  

Daily wishes work much in the same way, offering manageable objectives to be completed before the daily reset takes place. These are all relatively easy to manage and worth doing each day, even if you only pick five of them to complete to meet the maximum daily reward of 500 stars.
