Recharge

**Recharges** are purchases in Love Nikki that give players rewards, typically Diamonds  and VIP EXP Template:Items, but occasionally suits, items, gold, dye, event currency, monthly cards Template:Items, pavilion tickets Template:Items, and wish coupons Template:Items.

*For a list of all suits and items that can be obtained via recharge, see Category:Recharge.*

## Types of Recharge

### Direct Diamond Purchase

This recharge can always be found by clicking the + next to the number of  you own. Here, you can purchase , Template:Items and Template:Items, as well as gain the suit Love Limited.

The $9.99 tier also gives a Carnival Ticket, which allows the user to gain half off pulls in a Mystery House permanent pavilion of their choice for 24 hours. The Carnival Tickets can only be applied to Porch of Misty, Corridor of Clock, Time Yard, or Tower of Zen.

**Double Diamond Bonus:** The first time you recharge at a certain tier, you will get twice the amount of . Note that this does not give you twice the amount of Template:Items. This bonus can be applied once to each tier. Double diamond bonus resets every few months, so you can claim it again then by recharging again.

**First Time Recharge:** Your first direct diamond recharge at any tier will also give you the suit Love Limited (previously Winter Angel and Bloom of Youth). This also resets every few months, so you can claim it again if you recharge after it resets.

### Time-limited Pack

File:Countdown.png
*Time-limited packs* show up on your sidebar every day with a purple gift box (pictured to the right). In it, you can purchase a randomized pack that may contain various materials and tickets as well as  and Template:Items. They change every day at the end of the countdown time listed. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as "Countdown Packs".

Suits available from Time-limited Pack:

* Red Shoes - $4.99 USD
* Brocade Jade - $9.99 USD
* Cosmos Tide and Flower Tale (purchased together) - $15.99 USD

Other items available:

* Lillian Rabbit - $0.99 USD

These became available as of September 2nd, 2017.

### Cumulative Recharge

In a *cumulative recharge* event, purchase  to claim parts of a suit or a full suit. The more that is recharged, the more items and suits are gained.

* Packs that were purchased previously but have not yet been opened count towards a Cumulative Recharge.
* Though cumulative recharges say that they count how many  were recharged, they actually count Template:Items. Double diamonds do not count towards cumulative recharges, and when buying packs from the User's Shop, the VIP exp is what counts towards the total.
* You can combine different recharge amounts and the diamonds will stack together to help you meet the cost. For example, to reach a 520 level, you could purchase 260 twice, or purchase 550 once.
* **IMPORTANT:** Sometimes Cumulative Recharges stay on the sidebar for a few days after they have ended. *Always* check the date it ends before spending money on a Cumulative Recharge.

### Top-Up At One Go Event

During a *top-up at one go* event, if you purchase diamonds equaling or exceeding the amount needed in one purchase, you will gain the offered suit. Generally, only direct diamond purchases work for this event.

For example, a top up event might say to purchase diamonds valued at $4.99 or over to gain the suit. You could purchase any amount from the chart shown above starting from $4.99 and going all the way to the $99.99 purchase to gain the suit, but you could never get the suit by using the $1.99 button, no matter how much you spent.

### Zodiac Lucky Pack

A *Zodiac Lucky Pack* is a way to purchase items, suits, or a randomized amount of materials. There are two packs offered every day, and like the Time-limited Packs, the packs offered change after the day is over. They are offered in several tiers with prices ranging from $0.99 to $9.99.

The drops from a Zodiac Pack are not guaranteed; rather, the game presents a list of materials and currency you *could* win upon opening the packs. The more expensive the pack, the higher the chance you’ll have to get the suit. The list is different for each pack.

Like other recharges, the packs will always offer a set amount of  and Template:Items depending on how expensive the pack is. These do not have a chance element to them.

Suits available long-term from Zodiac Lucky Packs:

* Dream Sky
* Backlight Chord
* Fall at First Sight

The first Zodiac Lucky Pack suit, Celebrity's Choice, was available from May 31st to July 3rd, 2018.

### Boutique

In the *Boutique*, you can purchase various suits available for a limited time, along with other resources. Suits that may have previously been available through a different recharge method, such as Cumulative Recharge, may eventually come back via the Boutique for an equivalent amount of money.

### User's Shop

In the *User's Shop*, you can purchase currency, event currency, or sometimes entire suits for real money or Diamonds . Though the currency sold in the User's Shop does not change, the specific items offered there will come and go. For more information, please see the page User's Shop.

### 1 USD Sale

Occasionally, a single item is offered for a limited time for $1 USD. These items will generally come back for crafting after a while. Like other recharges, it also offers a small amount of  and Template:Items.

### Secret Shop

The **Secret Shop** is a recharge feature introduced on January 11th, 2019. It tends to only appear between event periods and offers various recharge suits for purchase again. Players initially received one refresh per day, which was later changed to three refreshes. It is worth noting that for players who have completed every recharge/purchase in the Secret Shop, the store itself will not appear in game.

### Back to Past

Previous cumulative recharges can be obtained when they arrive via the Back to Past feature. Users can recharge to gain File:Starlight Sand.png (Starlight Sand) and . The File:Starlight Sand.png (Starlight Sand) can then be "poured" to reach the recharge tiers. The suits generally cost more when they return from this feature, and there are no double diamonds.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### I've never recharged before. What's the best type of recharge to buy?

**Diamonds:** Generally, the best diamond per dollar value will be the $4.99 purchase of 260 diamonds and a monthly card Template:Items. This will get you 260 upfront, and 30 days of collecting 60 diamonds everyday in your Daily Quests. Those daily diamonds turn out to be 1,800. 1,800 + 260 is 2,060 diamonds overall for $4.99, or 412 per dollar. If Double Diamonds are active (which is marked by a red x2 next to the price), you will get 1,800 + 520, or 2,320 diamonds overall (464 per dollar).

**Suits:** This is generally subjective, and depends mostly on how much you like the style of the suit! Players often post breakdowns or stylings of how each item looks on Nikki in the unofficial subreddit and the Love Nikki Sheets discord server in the #suit-breakdowns channel.

If you are curious about the components of the suit, Nikki's Info is a good resource. To find a new suit that has been introduced, navigate to the "What's New" section and find the recharge suit so that you can look at its stats.

### How does a Monthly Card work?

A Monthly Card Template:Items is an item that will enable a daily quest awarding 60 and 10 Activeness Points every day for 30 days. Purchasing multiple Monthly Cards does NOT mean that you will get 120 a day. Rather, it will add 30 more days onto the end of your existing Monthly Card. For example, 2 Template:Items means 60 per day for 60 days. Monthly cards can only be purchased with $4.99 direct diamond recharges and in certain other $4.99 recharge events.

### Do double diamonds count towards Cumulative Recharges?

No, double diamonds do not count the doubled amount of diamonds. Cumulative Recharges actually count VIP EXP Template:Items, which is not doubled. When you purchase double diamonds, you only get the regular amount of Template:Items. So even if you get 520  from double diamonds, you only get 260 Template:Items.

### I spent money, so why didn't I get the suit from the Cumulative Recharge?

Cumulative Recharges are left up in the game for several days after they finish. This is in order to make sure anyone who recharged and forgot to claim their suit can still make sure they get it.

Before recharging for any limited recharge event, always check the date it has displayed. Remember that the date and time shown are in *server time*, which is also displayed at the bottom left of your screen. Compare the two times and dates: if the server time is after the end time of the recharge event, you will not get the recharge suits.

### How do I hold packs in my mailbox?

Some users will keep recharge packs in their mailbox without opening it unless a Cumulative Recharge is active. This way, the VIP EXP Template:Items in the pack is counted towards the Cumulative Recharge. This is because for packs that show up in your mailbox, the time you *open* the pack is what is counted, not the time you actually purchased it.

Direct Diamond purchases and Secret Shop purchases cannot be held in the mailbox, as they are instantaneous purchases. Time-Limited Packs and Boutique purchases *can* be held in the mailbox.

To save a pack in your mailbox, you can spend the money and purchase it at any time, but make sure you don't open it until a Cumulative Recharge event begins. Keep an eye on the expiration date as well, and make sure to open it before the pack expires and disappears.

### If I buy something once, will it continue to take money later?

No, all purchases are one-time transactions, and none of them are subscription-based. You will never have to cancel a subscription after buying any recharge.

### Do VIP levels expire?

No, once you reach a VIP level it will never decrease.

### If I use a rename card, can I choose any name I want?

No, you can only choose a name that isn't used by anyone else yet. Though there exist players with the same name, it is because at the beginning of the game, you can choose names that are already used.
