Infinity Nikki’s 1.9 update now brings the new Home feature, allowing you to decorate your personal space. While working on your home, you get to pick up new tasks that earn you new abilities. This guide will explain what each of these abilities does and how to get them in the game.
All Home Abilities Explained in Infinity Nikki
For now, the only unlockable abilities are Planting, Construction, Fish Keeping, Star Collecting, and Animal Inviting. Speak to Posy near the Astral Tree to get access to the Home Ability menu. Over here, you get three tabs: Master Ability, Ability Level, and Ability Fusion. Under Master Ability, you get to unlock new abilities based on whatever work you do around your home.
You collect the Ability Permit for all tasks that you do at your home. Use this under Mastery Ability to unlock new outfits. These outfits grant that particular ability to use throughout the game. As more updates roll by, you could learn more abilities whenever you visit the Mastery Ability menu. Let’s take a look at each ability and what they do.
Planting
The planting ability helps you plant new crops and tend to them. You get to learn this ability from the tutorials after unlocking your home. Besides planting your crops, you also get to learn how to water them, the various types of crops available, and how to grow them. Crops are sold for Astralites, and the more you learn how to plant, the more Home Insights you earn. Home Insights are used in the Yardling store to unlock new plant types.
Construction
Construction helps you create new furniture and decor for your new home. You get access to the Crafting Table at your home while following the tutorials. First, head into the Yardling Shop and purchase furniture sketches. More new furniture sketches are unlocked as you keep working on your Construction ability and earning Home Insights.
Once you have your sketch, visit the crafting table to find out the materials required to craft the item. Collect the required materials and go back to start crafting. Your new creations are ready to be placed anywhere within your home.
Star Collecting
Unlocking the Star Collecting ability helps you farm Meteorites more efficiently. Wearing this outfit grants you the ability to wear special goggles. These goggles will reveal the locations of meteorites around your island, collecting them to gain Home Insights. You get a cap of 5 meteorites to collect per day at base level, and each meteorite comes in various colors. Some colors offer more Home Insights than others, so keep an eye out for them if you wish to get more points.
Fish Keeping
Fish Keeping helps you create an environment at your home base to grow fish. You get to unlock various fish types and grow them once you have a secluded area built for them. Later on, you get to play the fishing mini-game and sell these fish for Astralites, similar to how you would sell plants. Fishes are bought either through the Yardling store or if found in the overworld.
Animal Inviting
With the Animal Inviting ability, you get to invite unique animals to stay at your Home island. To use this ability, explore the overworld to find any animal. Using your Bye-Bye Dust outfit, go to the animal and groom it. This will start a unique music mini-game, where you need to press the correct buttons in order.
If done correctly, you receive an invite from said animal, and they will join you at your Home base. You need to build the required accommodation for them to stay in. Unlock the Animal Lodge from the build menu and put it down near your Home. Interact with it to add your new pet. You are allowed to feed your pets here, gaining more Home Insights in the process.
How to Upgrade and Fuse Abilities in Infinity Nikki
Upgrading abilities will enhance them, such as supplying extra meteorite slots for the Star Collecting outfit, or helping you invite rarer animals with the Animal Inviting outfit. Back at the Home Abilities menu, select the Ability Level tab. Then, select any ability you wish to upgrade, and use the required amount of Home Insights and Astralites to upgrade it.
Ability Fusion, on the other hand, lets you fuse two existing abilities to give you a newer ability. This new ability will be added to your ability outfit, and you get to utilize better skills that implement two or more base abilities. More fusion abilities will be unlocked as you keep working on your existing abilities and leveling them up.
