Must-Buy Items
Complete collector: 8304 Echoes
- All three packages: 5874 Echoes
- Furniture package: 2430 Echoes
Budget-conscious: Prioritize main character package (1958 Echoes). One complete set beats multiple partial purchases.
First-week buyers: Purchase furniture February 12-19 to capture 776 Echoes savings. Delaying past February 19 eliminates discount.
Items to Avoid
Individual accessories (1068 Echoes): Poor value when packages offer costume + accessory for 1958 Echoes. Only buy when completing previously purchased partial sets.
Furniture after February 19: Loses 776 Echoes in value. Redirect to crossover packages instead.
Emotes/graffiti on limited budgets: Minimal gameplay impact. Prioritize permanent character appearances.
Budget-Specific Roadmaps
F2P Strategy (0-1000 Echoes)
Priority path:
- Complete free event tasks (Grave Keeper Tony costume + Ultimate Carrot accessory)
- Interact with TUBAOSHU (25 Clues)
- Collect daily Luggage (31 days)
- Save Echoes for single main character package if reaching 1958
- Otherwise, reserve for future guaranteed-value events
Don't split limited Echoes across partial purchases. One complete package > two individual costumes.
Low Spender (1000-5000 Echoes)
3000 Echoes allocation:
- Furniture package: 2430 Echoes (if furniture collector)
- OR SIBUXIANG package: 1958 Echoes + save 1042 toward second package
5000 Echoes allocation:
- Two complete packages: 3916 Echoes
- Remaining 1084 toward furniture or third package
Focus on packages over individual items. Skip furniture unless prioritizing manor customization.
Mid-Tier Budget (5000-15000 Echoes)
8304 Echoes (optimal):
- All three packages: 5874 Echoes

12000 Echoes (extended):
- All three packages: 5874 Echoes
- Furniture package (first week): 2430 Echoes
- Character emotes: ~1500 Echoes
- Reserve 2196 for future events
Purchase furniture during first week, then systematically acquire all packages before March 14.

Advanced Optimization
Daily Rewards Integration
Event modes provide supplementary resources February 12 - March 14:
- Daily Check-in, Manor Dispatch, Treasure Atlas, Gold Rush, Fortune Rush
- Daily Luggage: 31 days of free items
- Prioritize missions rewarding Spy Glasses + Fragments for graffiti
Purchase Timing
First-week furniture (February 12-19): Buy immediately after maintenance for maximum discount window.
Crossover packages: Mid-event purchase (late February) avoids final-week congestion but allows furniture satisfaction confirmation. Don't wait until March 13-14 due to server congestion risk.
Calculate Personal Needs
Step 1: List actively played characters, assign priority (1-3)
Step 2: Calculate costs
- High priority (score 3): 1958 Echoes per package
- Medium priority (score 2): If budget allows
- Low priority (score 1): Skip
Step 3: Add furniture if collector: 2430 Echoes (first week)
Step 4: Supplementary items
- Emotes for mains: ~500 each
- Graffiti/frames: Free via event
Step 5: Add 10% buffer
Example (Mercenary/Perfumer main):
- TIANLU + TUBAOSHU: 3916 Echoes
- Furniture (first week): 2430 Echoes
- Two emotes: 1000 Echoes
- Subtotal: 7346 Echoes
- 10% buffer: 735 Echoes
- Total: 8081 Echoes
Common Mistakes
Buying individual items before packages: Costume (1388) + later accessory (1068) = 2456 Echoes vs 1958 package. Wastes 498 Echoes.
Missing first-week furniture discounts: Costs 776 Echoes in lost savings.
Spreading Echoes too thin: Three individual costumes (4164 Echoes) without accessories < two complete packages (3916 Echoes) with accessories.
Impulse buying non-crossover items: Standard shop items remain available post-March 14. Prioritize crossover exclusivity.
Waiting until March 14: Server congestion, payment delays, potential maintenance. Complete purchases by March 12.

If Short on Echoes

Avoiding Regret: Decision Framework
Q1: Will I use this in three months? Prioritize mains over collection completeness.
Q2: Does this prevent higher-priority items? Ensure current purchases don't block better options.
Q3: Buying due to FOMO or genuine desire? Exclusivity alone doesn't justify purchase.
Q4: Maximized package savings? Verify package availability before separate purchases.
Q5: Can I afford without financial stress? Cosmetics shouldn't create real-world burden.
FAQ
How many Echoes for complete set? 8304 Echoes: Three packages (5874) + furniture (2430) during first-week discount. Emotes/graffiti add 2000-3000 for absolute completion (~10000-11000 total).
Best items to buy first? Furniture package February 12-19 (saves 776 Echoes). Then crossover packages for main characters (1958 each). Complete free Grave Keeper Tony tasks before spending.
When does event end? March 14, 2026 at 23:59 UTC+8. All crossover items permanently unavailable after. Luren Dian map accessible until April 2, 2026.
Can I get skins without Echoes? Yes. Grave Keeper Tony A-rarity costume + Ultimate Carrot accessory free via event tasks. Beast interactions provide free rewards (chick pet, item drops, 25 Clues, Carrot Juice). Night Watch/Mercenary/Perfumer packages require Echoes.
Should F2P spend on crossover? Only if you can afford complete package (1958 Echoes) for main character. Partial purchases = poor value. Prioritize free Grave Keeper Tony costume first.
What happens to unused Echoes after March 14? Remain permanently in account with full purchasing power. Echoes never expire or lose value. Save for future events safely.
