Infinity Nikki is all about making outfits your own, and Calm Thoughts are key to unlocking fresh color schemes for those four-star outfits you love.

If you’re looking to change your wardrobe or plan for future outfits, this guide covers everything from getting your hands on Calm Thoughts to using it properly.

What Are Calm Thoughts?

Calm Thoughts are a type of Growth Material in Infinity Nikki, and you’ll need them to evolve certain four-star outfits.

This changes the outfit’s appearance by unlocking a new color variation while keeping its stats and abilities intact.

Evolving takes seven Calm Thoughts and other resources like Bling, Thread of Purity, and a duplicate of the outfit.

While Calm Thoughts are used elsewhere, five-star outfits evolve with Heartfelt Thoughts.

How To Get Calm Thoughts

To earn Calm Thoughts in Infinity Nikki, you must advance through the main storyline and complete specific challenges.

Chapter 7 of the main story is where you’ll first have the chance to pick up Calm Thoughts. This chapter finishes with a showdown against Chigda (or Esseling in some versions).

When you defeat this boss for the first time, you'll earn three Calm Thoughts.

But since it takes seven Calm Thoughts to evolve an outfit, this first reward isn’t enough.

Once you finish Chapter 7, you'll get access to the Realm of Breakthrough, where you can grab more Calm Thoughts.

You can access this domain and challenge the Chapter 7 boss every week through the warp spires.

For each challenge you pass, you get three Calm Thoughts, but each try uses up 60 Vital Energy, so be smart about your resources.

If you pre-registered, you might have been rewarded with seven Calm Thoughts as part of a special offer.

Even if you missed pre-registration, the developers later made this reward accessible to everyone. To collect it, simply check your in-game mailbox.

For now, these are the main ways to get Calm Thoughts, but new ways, such as new bosses, events, or challenges, could be added soon.

If you participate in weekly challenges and stay updated on game news, you'll always have a steady supply of this key resource.

How To Use Calm Thoughts

Evolving outfits with Calm Thoughts involves a few steps, and you’ll need to have everything you need on hand.

Start by opening the Pear-Pal menu and heading to the Evolution section. This menu shows all the outfits you can evolve.

Choose the outfit you want to level up to see the requirements.

In most cases, you’ll need seven Calm Thoughts, 30k Bling, 100 Threads of Purity, and a duplicate outfit.

You won't need Calm Thoughts when you get outfits through gacha or premium purchases—just extra copies of the outfit work.

Before finalizing your evolution, you can check out the outfit's alternate color scheme by clicking the hourglass icon in the menu.

This will help you confirm that the updated appearance matches your expectations. Once you are satisfied, click Evolve to apply the changes.

The process is pretty simple, but since it uses resources, you should plan your evolutions to avoid wasting materials.
