The Lantern is the primary location for players to interact with Companions and manage their Relics.
This is one of the available options for players to further boost their clothing scores aside from clothing; via the enhancement of Relics, with the other being Fashion Lab.
Companions[]
- Main Page: Companions
Through the lantern, players can interact with Companions obtained from unlocked books and raise their Goodwill levels for rewards. For most stories, increasing the Goodwill level of related Companions is often required in order to progress through the story's plot, with Level 7 often being the level required to finish the story.
There are two ways to raise the affection of Companions: interacting by tapping on them, and giving gifts. At VIP Level 0, players will be able to interact with them up to 5 times and give them up to 16 gifts daily. Interacting with them will return 10 affection points each time, whereas giving gifts can earn anywhere from 10 to 90 affections points per gift, depending on the rarity and traits of the gift. This results in a maximum amount of 1,490 affection points earnable in a day at VIP Level 0, although players can have more chances to interact and give gifts to their companions at higher VIP levels.
Upon raising the Goodwill levels of Companions, players will be rewarded with blueprints and the Companions' respective relics. Below are the rewards that are usually received from raising a Companion's Goodwill level:
| Level | Reward |
|---|---|
| 2 | Clothing Blueprint OR 20 
|
| 3 | Clothing Blueprint OR 25
|
| 4 | 30
|
| 5 | Clothing Blueprint OR 40 Character Relic |
| 6 | 50 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 7 | 5 Parven's Mementos  1 Character Relic Shard |
| 8 | 5 Maud's Gratitude  1 Character Relic Shard |
| 9 | 300 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 10 | 1,000 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 11 | 25  1 Character Relic Shard |
| 12 | 50 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 13 | 75 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 14 | 20  1 Character Relic Shard |
| 15 | 25 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 16 | 30 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 17 | 3  1 Character Relic Shard |
| 18 | 4 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 19 | 5 1 Character Relic Shard |
| 20 | 6 1 Character Relic Shard |
Known exceptions to this include:
- Queen Marie, Magic Lamp, Gotham Memoirs: Companions used to give an additional Keepsake item at Goodwill levels 3 and 6. This was discontinued from Swan Lake companions onwards.
- Ancient Dreams - Xiaojing and Huo Lan give relic shards at levels 6, 8 and 10 instead of every level after 5.
Interacting with Companions can occasionally result in them gifting a random gift box as well. Furthermore, as a bonus, Companions will always have three letters addressed to the player as their Goodwill level increases, which are unlocked at levels 2, 5 and 7 respectively, and there are some Companions that will unlock an additional Story Kingdom Look upon reaching specific levels.

Relic Vault[]
- Main Page: Relic Vault
The Relic Vault allows players to upgrade Relics, enhance their skills, and awaken them in order to further boost their stats.
Relics can be obtained by raising the Goodwill level of a Companion to 5 (with the only exceptions being Xiaojing and Huo Lan). After obtaining the first copy of a Relic, any duplicate copies will be automatically converted into shards, which are used to Enhance Skill or Awaken the Relic.
Players can obtain up to five additional shards from levelling companions' Goodwill levels, and any additional shards afterwards can only be obtained via Lucky Jerry pulls or trading at Lovecraft's Shop.
Upgrade Relics[]
This feature allows you to upgrade the style score of a Relic by levelling it. The items used to do this are called Potions. Potions are found through Kitty Exploration and Lucky Jerry.
At every 20 levels, players can use Stardust to increase the level cap, and further uprgrade the relic. The maximum level of any relic is Level 120.
Enhance Skill[]
Enhancing skills increases the percentage by which the relic increases a score. For instance, at skill level 2, Fersen's Ebony Violin increases the Gentle and Grand score of clothing items by 3.9%. At skill level 3, this value increases to 5.3%. Players can increase the skill level of any Relic up to a maximum of 10.
Enhancing skills requires shards of the same relic, which are obtainable upon receiving duplicate copies of said relics. Relics and relic shards can be obtained from increasing companions' Goodwill levels to obtain a maximum of one relic and five shards. Afterwards, subsequent relic shards can only be obtained either via Lucky Jerry (4 and 5-star relics can only be won from Gold Balloons), or trading via Lovecraft's Shop.
Awaken Relic[]
Awakening a Relic greatly increases its style score by a fixed amount (depending on the rarity of the Relic) and unlocks a new relic artwork. To awaken a relic requires the relic to be level 50 and 10 relic shards. Unlike upgrading and enhancing, a Relic can only be awakened once.
For a more in-depth explanation on enhancing Relics and individual Relic information, see Relic Vault.
