STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO AZURE MESSENGER by the ever amazing Iri!
This event (which is pick and choose, for those who don’t know) is really weird and, thus, complicated. I highly highly recommend that you watch Iri’s video so that you know what to do when the event finally comes. Seriously, I cannot stress enough how much easier this video will make your life.
As always, make sure you give the video a like if you watch it! And I, personally, recommend subscribing to her. I find her videos tremendously useful and I love her suit breakdowns. Plus, you’ll get sneak peeks at new events from the Chinese server which is, in my opinion, is always really fun.

AROUND THE WORLD (permanent feature)
After the update (date unknown) LN will be introducing a new feature, Around the World. It unlocks after you pass Maiden 6-1. It allows you to travel around Miraland (currently only Apple and Cloud) and take pictures with NPCs. You can keep a diary which you can decorate. There will be daily quest for using this feature.
Meeting NPCs: If you are wearing an outfit that meets specific criteria, you have a random chance to meet an NPC while exploring a location. You may only make one outfit every 24 hours so be aware of that when picking out your outfit. Going to a specific location costs tickets, which you can buy using diamonds. However, there is also a random button which is completely free. Since there are a limited number of locations, it makes more sense to just use the random button than to pay diamonds for tickets, as eventually you’ll see all the locations (probably multiple times before we get a new location).
Diary and Stickers: When you take pictures, with or without NPCs, they are put in your travel diary. You can personalize your travel diary in a variety of ways, including decorating it with stickers. Whatever outfit you are wearing, the pieces will be available in sticker form to use for decorating. (If you want to use props, this means you’ll need to put them on when you’re putting together your outfit.) You can also receive free stickers from random events as you travel. And you can, of course, buy stickers for diamonds.You have a limit on how many diary entries you can have, though you can increase this with diamonds. Other players cannot see your diary entries.
Future features: In the future, you will be able to earn quite a few backgrounds. There will also be other cities added; currently Lilith is available on the Chinese server. There is a future hell event where you can receive one or two stickers. There has also been one event held in this feature.
I only covered how the event works. IRI HAS SOME GREAT TRICKS AND TIPS FOR THE FEATURE IN HER VIDEO that I didn’t cover here. Whether you watch the video or not please go and give her video a like as a thank you for this info.

WONDER MAGIC (15-21 May 2019)
NEW EVENT FORMAT, PLEASE READ SO YOU DON’T MAKE ANY CHOICES YOU’LL REGRET!
When you start the event you will be asked to choose between two NPCs, each of which is connected to one of the suits, from left to right: [Magic Apprentice] and [Lost Spell]. You’ll then be given simple quests to complete, wherein you’ll receive event currency. The suit of the side that you chose you will receive pieces of upon completing a certain number of quests, not from event currency. For example, you’ll need to complete 10 quests for the socks from [Apprentice]. You then use the event currency you’ve gotten to pick pieces of the other suit. Basically, the suit that you pick at the beginning will be a tiered suit and the suit you don’t pick will be pick and choose.
EVENT COST: Taking into account all the free attempts we get a day, one suit should cost 990 diamonds to complete, and both suits can be completed for 1960 diamonds. It is cheaper to pick the side with the suit that you want the most, if you are planning on only getting on suit. Return costs are currently unknown.
I highly recommend checking out the ever amazing Iri’s video about the event. She goes into more detail and, if this is confusing, having it explained a different way might help.

CLOUD REALM (25 June - 11 July)
HELL EVENT? HELL YEAH! Check under the read more for information about the mechanics of the hell event, as well as info on the major suits, the side suits, and their costs.
MAJOR SUIT MECHANICS
So first off--brace yourself if you haven’t heard the news yet--this is a pavilion hell event. However, it’s not as bad as it sounds; there are several things they’ve done that make it far less annoying than it would otherwise be. Firstly, there is not one pavilion for all four suits. Instead, there are four separate pavilions, one for each of the major suits: [Daymare Fairy Tale], [Glorious Chapter], [Aster Guardian], and [World in Dream] (named in the order they appear in the picture above). With the exception of [Daymare], all the pavilions are available to pull from as soon as the event starts. This means if you only want [Glorious], you can grab her and not spend a single diamond on any of the other suits.
However, if you want [Daymare], that’s where things get a bit more complicated. [Daymare] is closed until you pull 31 times in EACH of the other three pavilions; this means that if you finish one of the suits in less than 31 pulls, you will need to keep pulling until you hit 31 to unlock [Daymare]. To the bottom right of each pavilion, there is a small heart-shaped lock; when you’ve pulled 31 times from a pavilion, a token will be unlocked. You can then click on the token to use it on [Daymare] and once you’ve used all three tokens, the pavilion will unlock and you can pull for [Daymare]. Please note that, like other pavilions, most of the posed items are items that must be drawn from the pavilion and are not completion reward. However, unlike other pavilions, this does not include the posed dress, which is a completion reward. So, you will need to pull the posed hair from the pavilion, but you will receive the posed suit (along with the suit’s background) as a reward for getting all the unposed pieces of the suit and thus completing it.
Each pull costs 100 diamonds. You are guaranteed a new item every 10 pulls that you do. You do not get free daily pulls in this event; instead, if it’s like the Chinese server, we should get 7 free pulls. 2 were sent via mailbox (1 on the first day, 1 on the third day) and 5 are purchased from a shop that comes with the hell event, purchased with event items that you collect in other aspects of the hell event. (I won’t be going into detail here, I highly recommend you check out Iri’s great video which talks about it and gives some amazing tips.)
Cost: Keeping in mind that this is a pavilion, and thus cost estimates are random, the current rough estimates (based on the Chinese server) by the awesome Squirtle Squad are: 3100 diamonds for [Glorious Chapter], 3300 for [Aster Guardian], 3800 for [World in Dream], and, along with the cost of 31 pulls from each of the other 3 pavilions to unlock it, [Daymare Fairy Tale] will cost 3600 diamonds. So, if you want all four major suits, it will probably be around 13800 diamonds. Again, this is a pavilion so these are all rough estimates.
SIDE SUIT MECHANICS
There are three minor suits, their recolors, and then the SSR interactive moving suit [Cloud Dream] that can be pulled from the side suit pavilion (see gifs and the ever amazing Iri’s video to see it in action) and, yes, it does move like that in competition. You don’t use diamonds directly to pull from the side suit pavilion, instead every 8 pulls you do in one of the major suit pavilions, you’ll receive one pull for the side suit pavilion. This seems low but you aren’t pulling minor suit pieces, rather you receive the entire minor suit in one go (you do not need to recolor the minor suits; their recolor will drop in the side suit pavilion). The only pieces that you’ll pull are for [Cloud]. The minor suits and the pieces of [Cloud] are pulled in a predetermined order and, once you get one, you will not get a repeat. (Drop order can be found in the links below.)
Cost: To finish all minor suits and their recolors, but not [Cloud Dream], will be around 11,200 diamonds. If you finish all four major suits, you will probably have all the minor suits. Now, how much to get [Cloud Dream]? This is going to hurt, guys, I’m sorry. If you want [Cloud Dream] you will need 25,600 diamonds. It may be possible to finish it for less, but it’s very unlikely. You’ll probably receive pieces throughout your pulls but, as I’m sure you’re expecting, the suit will not move without every single piece.
RETURN COSTS AND SCHEDULE
This came to the Chinese server only a few months ago so, unfortunately, we don’t know any of this info. I feel pretty safe saying that it will eventually come back (unless they’re collaboration events, they always do). However, we’ve never had a hell event like this so there’s just no way to know what it will look like when it comes back.
TIPS AND TRICKS
I did not cover all the aspects of this hell event (and there are quite a bit more) because I didn’t want to make this longer and more convoluted than it already is. I recommend checking out the Cloud Realm post, over at the LN subreddit. It has a ton of different resources. A few things worth noting: The event cost breakdown sheet by the awesome Squirtle Squad, which lists not only cost but also the chances of receiving a particular item. A much more in-depth guide to the event mechanics is also available which you should definitely check out.
I highly highly recommend checking out Iri’s Pro Tips video. It is full of a ton of useful tips that will could save you some grief; I really cannot recommend it enough. The ever amazing Iri also has her normal suit breakdown video, where she shows each of the suit pieces individually. If you’re trying to decide which, if any, suit that you want, it’s extremely helpful and it’s what I always watch when I’m unsure about a suit.
Again, there is a lot that I didn’t cover in this post and I highly recommend that you check out the sources I listed above as they will help tremendously to understanding everything.

WELFARE EVENT: [SHADOW FIEND] (1-10 May)
A welfare event is an event that you should be able to complete without spending any diamonds. For this event, clear stages in {Journey} to collect event tokens and exchange them for [Shadow Fiend]. This is a pick and choose event!
During the event, you will also have an NPC (Debbie) pop up and ask you for some event currency. If you give her some, you’ll receive gold, star coins, and/or diamonds. If you’re a newer player and thus don’t have the ability to store a lot of stamina (say, during the night) it is recommended that, if you want the suit, you finish it first before giving Debbie the currency. However, once you’ve finished the suit you can give Debbie everything else you have left and collect diamonds!
Cost Estimate: You should be able to complete this suit just using the natural regeneration that you receive throughout the day, as well as {Quest} completion and the reward the following day for completing Association levels. If you need some extra stamina, start opening Competition boxes. According to the ever amazing Iri (whose video I’ve linked above and you should check out for the suit breakdown) if you do all Princess levels it will cost around 3504 stamina; if you are doing all Maiden, it will be 2336.
Return Cost: When this suit returns, it will only cost stamina and gold to complete.
IMPORTANT NOTE; PLEASE READ
In the past, LN had given us a small stamina event and then a huge stamina event immediately afterward. There is no guarantee that they will do this however I feel that I need to mention it. If you want to look at the future stamina events, Iri did a great video on them here. There is also a brand new stamina event on the Japanese server. Again, there is absolutely no guarantee that they will do this again but I feel I need to mention it, just in case.
A look at how this event works, a breakdown of both suits, and estimated costs. If you’re not sure if you want the suits or not, I cannot recommend Iri’s video enough as a way to look at the individual pieces.
As always, if you find this amazing video helpful, make sure to give Iri a thumbs up to show your appreciation!
So I was going to write out my own guide but, for a variety of reasons, it’s just not going to happen. So here’s a few that you should check out. I haven’t read the second and third ones, I just don’t have time, but Iri recommended them and I trust her judgement.
