Holy pixelated peacocks! When Infinity Nikki dropped its Danqing Season (1.8), I dove headfirst into that ink-washed wonderland like a kid in a candy store. Between the flowing hanfus and misty mountains, I discovered the real MVP - the 'Where Are the Gifties' challenge. These sneaky sticker critters had me running circles around Danqing Island like a headless chicken with a fashion sense. Seriously, these tiny two-dimensional rascals are ninja-level hiders! But that sweet, sweet 80-Diamond reward? Totally worth becoming a professional Gifty whisperer.

Accessing the Treasure Hunt

First things first – finding the challenge itself feels like solving a meta-puzzle. You gotta navigate to your Events menu and slam that 'Danqing Season' tab faster than you'd swipe left on mismatched socks. Spot the 'Time to Collect' option chilling on the right? Click it! Then eye that adorable Gifty icon (third one down) like it's the last bubble tea in town. Bam! You're in.

Honestly, I almost missed it between all the dazzling event banners – talk about sensory overload! Once inside, the interface is cleaner than my closet after spring cleaning (which happens never, btw). That progress tracker? A godsend for my goldfish memory.

Season Twist: The Unlockable Eight

Plot twist alert! This ain't your grandma's Gifty hunt. We've got eight of these adorable buggers scattered across the map, but hold your horses – only five are available at launch. The other three pull a mysterious "see ya next week" move. I'm low-key convinced the devs enjoy watching us foam at the mouth with anticipation.

What really grinds my gears? Danqing Island's gorgeous but confusing AF. Unlike Wishfield's familiar turf, this place has more hidden crannies than my anxiety brain. Those Piecey-inspired Gifties blend into scenery like chameleons at a rave – flat, colorful, and stuck to surfaces like they owe rent. Pro tip: crank up your volume! Their signature ding-a-ling proximity chime saved my sanity more times than I'd care to admit.

My Gifty GPS Chronicles

Alright, let's get down to brass tacks – here's where I nearly threw my controller hunting these little squirts:

  1. The Pond Prankster: Teleported to Inkville Market faster than you can say "dim sum." West side pond, pre-plaza – easy peasy? Nope! Spent 10 minutes circling that rock like a confused duck before spotting it. Felt like the rock was judging me. Hard.

  2. Stage Dive Diva: Further down from the market lies this fabulous crimson stage. Hopped through the center hole feeling like a K-pop star... only to faceplant finding the Gifty clinging sideways to the structure. The audacity!

  3. Picnic Crasher: Southwest fields teleport – check. Hiked west to that suspiciously perfect picnic setup on the hill. Tore apart the picnic basket like a raccoon before realizing: duh, it's UNDER the platform on the rock side. My virtual avatar developed trust issues.

  4. Pagoda Phantom: At Loong Pagoda (main path from Inkville), I channeled my inner detective. Circled the building thrice before spotting it near the wooden bridge, camouflaged against a rock like some artsy graffiti. Sneaky little Banksy wannabe.

  5. Pond Part Deux: Wanderbloom Grove south of Pagoda? Gorgeous. Found the bridge, sprinted east across the pond like my pants were on fire. There it was – clinging to a rocky outcrop just above water level, probably laughing at my splashing struggle.

| 1       | Inkville Market Pond Rock       | 7/10           |
| 2       | Red Stage Structure             | 5/10           |

| 5       | Wanderbloom Grove Rocky Outcrop | 6/10           |

The Mysterious Trio 👀

Now, about those last three Gifties... sigh. Currently locked behind that infuriating "check back later" message. Are they in floating castles? Inside ink pots? Disguised as NPC hats? My conspiracy board has more strings than a harp factory. The anticipation is killing me softly – but hey, gives me time to practice my zen breathing between meltdowns.

Ticking Clock Alert ⏰

Heads up, fam! This whole shindig vanishes faster than free samples at Costco when the season ends around September 1st, 2025. That's your hard deadline to grab those 80 Diamonds. My advice? Don't pull a procrastination special like yours truly last season – crying over pixel rewards is unbecoming, trust me.

So yeah, that's been my Danqing Season rollercoaster. Hunting these sticker critters made me appreciate corners of the map I'd normally sprint past. Will I ever emotionally recover from Gifty #3's hide-and-seek mastery? Probably not. But finding each one gave me that sweet serotonin rush – almost as good as finally getting that SSR drop. Almost.
