Aniimo Irisalis — How to Get the Legendary Aniimo (Windchaser's Departure)
Irisalis — Legendary Aniimo
Quick answer: Irisalis is a Legendary Aniimo added in the v1.1 update. To get it — reach Student I, enter the "Legendary Journey: Windchaser's Departure" event, collect Iris Petals from the new weekly-limited source, and craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis. Crafting the pod opens the Rift Space where you befriend Irisalis.
What is Irisalis?
Irisalis is the Legendary Aniimo introduced in the v1.1 update (September 23, 2026). The official announcement describes it as blooming "amidst radiant colors, gathering the world's hues to breathe life and vigor into the land."
It's the headline reward of the Legendary Journey: Windchaser's Departure event — a long-running event, not a short weekly one.
How to get Irisalis — step by step
- Reach Student I — the event requires a Student I title.
- Enter the event — "Legendary Journey: Windchaser's Departure" (Iris Companion).
- Collect Iris Petals — from the new weekly-limited source introduced in v1.1.
- Craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis — spend the required number of Iris Petals.
- Enter the Rift Space — crafting the pod unlocks the Rift Space where Irisalis resides.
- Forge your Twine to unlock the Blessing Gifts.
- Befriend Irisalis — and unlock its exclusive Transmog ability.

This is a ~2.5-month event — you have time, but Iris Petals are weekly-limited, so you can't grind it all at once.
Iris Petals — the weekly cap is the real timer
The key mechanic: Iris Petals come from a weekly-limited source. That means:
- You earn a capped amount per week.
- You cannot grind all the petals you need in one sitting.
- Start collecting early — the event is long, but the weekly cap is what gates your progress.
The exact number of petals required, and the full list of petal sources, is NOT published in the official announcement. Community trackers report various totals (around 99 petals across multiple named sources), but those numbers are unverified and inconsistent — treat them as a starting point, not a fact. Check the in-game event panel for the current total and your weekly progress.
The two-stage craft (most guides get this wrong)
The Windchaser's Departure event has two different Aniipods, and confusing them is the #1 mistake:
| Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis | Legendary Aniipod: Windchaser's Departure | |
|---|---|---|
| What it gives | Unlocks the Rift Space to befriend Irisalis | 100% capture of an Aniimo |
| Guarantees | Irisalis itself | Perfect Innate Potential + Sparkling Form + seasonal perks |
| When | First craft | After you've crafted the Irisalis pod |
- First, craft the Irisalis pod to unlock Irisalis.
- Then, you can spend more Iris Petals to craft the Windchaser's Departure pod — this is the "Blessing Gift" upgrade that guarantees a perfect, Sparkling capture.
If you only want Irisalis itself, you only need the first craft. The second craft is for players chasing a Perfect Innate + Sparkling legendary.
Blessing Gifts & the guaranteed capture
The Windchaser's Departure pod (the Blessing Gift) is the chase item:
- 100% capture rate — no failure.
- Perfect Innate Potential — the highest stat potential tier.
- Sparkling Form — the rare "shiny" appearance.
- Exclusive seasonal perks for Windchaser's Departure.
Compare with normal capture: you'd normally need luck to get a Perfect + Sparkling Aniimo. This pod removes the RNG.
Note: the official text says "the captured Aniimo" without naming which Aniimo the pod captures — it does not explicitly state whether it's a second Irisalis. It's the event's premium capture pod for the season's legendary.
Transmog
After befriending Irisalis, you unlock its exclusive Transmog ability — a cosmetic form toggle tied to Irisalis.

FAQ
How do I get Irisalis?
Reach Student I, collect Iris Petals (weekly-limited), craft the Legendary Aniipod: Irisalis, then enter the Rift Space.
What's the fastest way to get Irisalis?
Start collecting Iris Petals immediately — the weekly cap is the bottleneck, not the event length. The event runs to Dec 10, but you can't make up missed weekly caps.
How many Iris Petals do I need?
The official announcement does not publish an exact number. Community trackers report ~99 petals, but that's unverified — check the in-game panel.
Is the Windchaser's Departure pod worth it?
If you want a guaranteed Perfect + Sparkling legendary, yes. If you just want Irisalis itself, the first pod is enough.
Do I need Student I or Student II?
Student I for Irisalis (the Legendary Journey). Glamour Star and Aniimo Discovery need Student II — don't confuse them.
