FashionWave events bring players a special FashionWave store with a rotating selection of items each day, all of which can be purchased with event-specific FashionWave tokens. The items in this shop change daily, so while there's an element of randomness to players finding the pieces they want the most, it's still a more reliable system than just pulling from the game's regular gacha system to pick up special pieces. Earning Fashionwave Tokens on Hartopia Players can be drawn in a variety of ways, including completing weekly challenges, cooking recipes, and selling items to NPCs running the shop. Fans can still manually refresh the shop if they can't find what they're looking for, but doing so consumes a large amount of gold.
