Every so often, Infinity Nikki hands players a quest that feels less like a fashion emergency and more like a riddle from a fortune cookie. Kindled Inspiration: Fortune's Favor is a prime example. The task? Wear a specific pair of socks and have a chat with Mysti. It sounds simple, but plenty of stylists end up scrolling through the wardrobe like they are hunting for a needle in a haystack. The good news: this one is a piece of cake once players know which socks to grab.

The socks in question are called Little Luck, and they are part of the Afternoon Shine outfit. For anyone who has been living under a rock, Afternoon Shine is the default Bug Catching ability outfit in Infinity Nikki. Players unlock it, and its pieces, during the very first chapter of the main story. That means most players are already sitting on the exact pair of socks Mysti wants to see. No need to go chasing rare drops or burning through Diamonds.

Now, the funniest part? The quest's name, Fortune's Favor, makes it sound like a high-stakes lucky draw. In reality, Mysti wants to see the same Little Luck socks that many players have already used to stomp around Miraland while catching bugs. So if a player has ever equipped the Bug Catching outfit, the clothes are already in the rotation. That is about as lucky as a fashion quest gets.

How to Complete Kindled Inspiration: Fortune's Favor

The whole quest can be wrapped up faster than a player can say 'style points.' Follow these steps:

  1. Progress the main story enough to unlock Afternoon Shine. If the Little Luck socks are not in the wardrobe yet, odds are the player has not reached that point. Keep going through the first chapter.

  2. Open Nikki's wardrobe. This can be done with the Ability Wheel or through the Pear-Pal.

  3. Head to the socks category. Look for Little Luck, highlight it, and select it. Save the outfit once the socks are equipped.

  4. Exit the wardrobe and check the open world. Nikki should now be strutting around with Little Luck on her feet.

  5. Find Mysti near the Cicia Art Academy Field Base. Speak with her, and the quest should complete.

That is the whole nine yards. The trickiest part is usually not the socks at all—it is tracking down Mysti at the right time of day.

Where to Find Mysti and When She Shows Up

Mysti is not a night owl. She is only available from 05:00 to 21:00, so players who roll up after dark are going to be left talking to the crickets. Fortunately, Infinity Nikki includes a fast-forward button for exactly this kind of situation. Open the Pear-Pal, use the Run, Pear-Pal feature, and skip ahead to a reasonable hour. No waiting around, no twiddling thumbs.

The maps above mark Mysti's spot for the sake of full clarity. The Cicia Art Academy Field Base is the key landmark, and Mysti hangs around close enough that players should not need to go on a wild goose chase.

Common Hiccups and Fixes

  • The quest is not completing after speaking with Mysti: Double-check that Little Luck is actually saved to the current outfit. It is easy to preview the socks without saving.

  • Mysti is missing: It is probably outside her hours. Skip time with the Pear-Pal.

  • The socks are not in the wardrobe: Finish the first chapter of the main story to unlock the Afternoon Shine outfit.

  • The interaction prompt will not appear: If a player is standing right next to Mysti and nothing happens, try leaving the area and returning after a quick time skip.

As of 2026, this random quest still trips up new players, but the solution remains delightfully simple. For a random quest that initially seems like a guessing game, Kindled Inspiration: Fortune's Favor is about as low-stress as it gets. Players just need to slip on the Little Luck socks, catch Mysti during daylight hours, and collect the reward. Easy peasy.
