Hello, this is Iri, and it’s Barbie time!
It’s one of those videos where I had the honor and opportunity to prepare for a long
time, in order to bring you all the relevant information, so I’m just happy that I can
finally show it.
Now you may think this looks like a pavilion event that you’d hate, and it is, with a
staggering 31 items, BUT it’s also a new format.
Now what do I mean by that?
Like all pavilion events, our first pull is half-off, so only 40 diamonds instead of 80.
But here an interesting thing happens - the first time you pull an item out, you will
also get 1 currency called Queen’s Crown.
We’ll just call it...currency 1.
If you keep pulling, you are of course bound to get duplicate items, but rather than being
useless for everything except decomposition, this time, these duplicates will be converted
into another currency called Dream Plumes, currency 2.
Now what do we do with these.
The good news is that if we walk back to the main menu, there’s a button on the top right
that takes us to an exchange store.
And we can use all the Queen’s Crown and Dream Plumes (Currency 1 and 2s) that we get to exchange for items,
and / or, if you feel like it, stamina, starcoins, and even diamonds and rebirth necklaces.
Though my personal tip would be to focus on the clothes first, especially if you’re
a completionist.
And If you’ve watched my video on the Disney collaboration for the Chinese server, you
may remember that this was the exact same format.
So that’s good and all, but I bet what you care about the most is the cost, am I right?
We are currently pulling and let’s just say that it took me 80 pulls... as in,
about 6,400 diamonds (6,360 to be exact).
I really want to laugh it off, but it kinda hurts.
Maybe you’ll have better luck than me though?
And I do have another good news, which is once you have done 23 pulls, you’ll be guaranteed
1 new item every 5 pulls, so there is that mechanism to offset bad luck somewhat.
So tip 2 would be keep track of your pull numbers, because if you’ve done 23 already
and are about to hit another 5 pulls, you might as well hit that magical number 5 and
get yourself a new item, and *then* stop if you want to save diamonds.
Do keep in mind though that like all the other collaboration events, these suits won’t
be coming back since the game actually has to pay licensing fees to use the barbie designs.
And now just another tip to finish up the pulls and then we can check out all the suit
breakdowns, and that is - don’t forget to pull for the special poses if they’re what
you wanted.
There is a special pose of *both* suits, so check the overall items list pretty frequently to make sure
you’re not missing anything.
And finally, the suit breakdowns - the purple suit, Unicorn Goddess first, this is a 17
piece suit if we count both the posed and unposed versions.
This hair though, honestly-speaking I love the colors but I did laugh at the shape because
it’s a bit too high fashion for me.
I’ll show you my styling in a bit.
Then we have the special pose, very extra.
And then all the moveable accessories, my favorite of which is this sweeping rainbow,
and these unicorns, because the petals and the Barbie sign are kind of off the screen,
and therefore will be off-screen when you use them in competition.
Shiny earrings though, and there is a tattoo, so fortunately, that’s separated from the
makeup.
The normal pose is similar but now we obviously have things like, the normal pose clothing,
shoes, necklace, the right hand ornament, gloves, tail, and the wings as a separate
item.
I regret to inform you though, that the normal pose clothing doesn’t look translucent when
we put on a darker skin tone, which I feel like is a missed opportunity in terms of suit
design because it could have looked out-of-this-world amazing.
For the makeup, we can also see here how it looks with other hair styles, it does have
a sharper, piercing vibe to it, so I personally prefer to not use it with overly cute hairs,
but that’s just me.
Now, the black and white, Modern Queen breakdown!
This is my preferred suit out of the two, actually.
The pose is one giant piece, but we also have a giant ground item, Neon Light.
And this black stone horse, not that many players guessed it would come with since it was
kind of hidden in the poster.
There’s a mirror too.
Earrings, and new darker skin tone makeup.
Let’s head into the viewmode for a moment too and see the details we couldn’t before,
we have the biggest item in this event, in terms of size, and the black horse.
There is a version of the black horse that doesn’t have this bar, which makes it a
bit more useful, and we’ll talk about it in a little bit.
For the normal pose, we have the black and white dress, shoes, and now a ton of accessories,
including a diamond ring, lipstick, and my favorite three over here.
There’s sadly no glove pose, but I think overall this is a stunning suit and you’ll
most likely complete her before the purple suit, so it should be theoretically cheaper
but don’t quote me on that.
If you’re interested in the actual drop rates, the game’s FAQ page does have all
of them listed.
An important note though - this suit does *not* come with a new skin tone, the one that
it has is a skin tone we also already have, namely - Miss Skateboard from the Street
Extreme suit, so double check if you have other make-ups that are compatible with it
first, before spending thousands of diamonds.
There is also a note #2, which is that 3 items are not in the pavilion itself but come as
completion prizes.
For the purple suit, we have the unposed hair as a completion prize, and for the black and
white suit, the horse backdrop item without that golden bar we mentioned earlier, plus
the makeup in this skin tone.
And just for the heck of it, let’s look at that small exchange suit too, I mean it’s
nothing spectacular but the hair is pretty nice and there is a chicken, a kawaii chicken.
And now I want to show you some outfits I have made with the event items.
This is a space diva, I was trying to style the hair and found that some Ruin clothings
work well.
Here is another, cuter outfit, playing with the wings and that rainbow item.
For the black and white suit, I made this black and white fashion week tribute since
I really like the brooch / purse she has.
And this is where I wanted to make a....I guess trouble maker at the crime scene, yes,
and the idea was to use the horse backdrop item that she has for a sculpture / wall effect.
So that’s it for Iri’s tips and personal Barbie styling.
If you thought that was in any way helpful or entertaining, I’d really appreciate it
if you can like and subscribe.
It’ll make it easier for Youtube to send you reminders when more content like this
comes out too.
And I just have to mention this again that if you have feedback on the game’s operations,
it’s the best to share them on the official Facebook page so that they can be seen by the developers.
And if you’re experiencing technical issues, the support team can be reached through e-mail,
they’ll actually be able to help you much faster instead since I’m really not a programmer by any
means.
And last but not least, a massive thank you to the members of Melancholia!
Thank you all so much for tirelessly translating, gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
You’re all so talented too.
The same also goes to my long-time friend Giulla and so many other players who have
helped all the way til now.
I also wouldn’t be here without all you kind viewers, so always, *always*, thank you
and I’ll catch you next time!
