Meet new Neighbors through Starsea exploration

Choose the right exploration area and distinguish encounters from cosmetic banners.

Final Beta · player-reported tips, reviewed October 15, 2026; not independently tested

Explore the Starsea to meet new Neighbors. Beta players report meeting regular Neighbors through normal exploration and seasonal Neighbors in the seasonal Starsea.

Choose where to explore

  1. For regular Neighbors, continue ordinary Starsea exploration and speak to the Neighbors you encounter.
  2. For seasonal Neighbors, check whether the relevant seasonal exploration area is available, then explore that area.
  3. Follow the encounter’s invitation prompts. Meeting someone and having them move in are separate steps.

If you keep meeting nobody new

Encounters are chance-based. Repeated trips without a new Neighbor do not establish that the character requires a paid pull. In the beta reports checked, Neighbors are encountered through play; the banners discussed are for clothing and furniture.

Seasonal limits

Check the event’s in-game availability before choosing a destination. Whether a Neighbor or reward returns after the season has not been verified.
