Light and Night daily quests are an important part of the game that no player should be sleeping on. They might not sound as exciting as pulling a new card or unlocking a story chapter, but what they do is keep your account growing every single day.

The Light and Night dailies system is more layered than it first appears. There’s a checklist to work through, weekly tasks that sneak into the mix, and a points target to hit before the daily reset.

This guide about the Light and Night daily quests breaks the whole thing down from the ground up, so you know what to do and how to make it part of your daily routine.

What are Light and Night dailies?

If you’re new to the game, Light and Night daily quests are one of the first systems you’ll want to get familiar with. They’re a set of tasks you complete each day to earn rewards and keep your account progressing steadily. Once you get the hang of them, they don’t take long at all.

Each day, you can earn up to 120 Ursa Minor Tokens through your dailies, split across three activities.

NUMBER OF URSA MINOR TOKENSSOURCE
50Completing Light and Night daily quests
50Shop exchange
20Exhibition system

Alongside Ursa Minor Tokens, you’ll also collect crafting materials that are essential for leveling up cards and growing your account over time.

Before diving into the task list, it helps to understand what you’re working toward each day.

Light and Night has a daily points system that tracks your activity and rewards you for staying consistent. Your goal every day is to reach 100 daily points.

Each task on your Light and Night daily quests list contributes a set number of points, and completing the full checklist is designed to get you right to that 100-point mark.

Hitting 100 points each day is important because it unlocks your full daily reward, including your share of 50 Ursa Minor Tokens from the Light and Night daily quests pool.

It is important to note that Light and Night daily quests double up as event daily tasks. This means that by simply working through your regular checklist, you’ll automatically make progress on limited-time events without needing to do extra work.

Light and Night daily quests: Core tasks to complete every day

The Light and Night daily quests list covers a range of activities across different parts of the game.

Here’s what you need to get done each day:

LIGHT AND NIGHT DAILIESDESCRIPTION
Resource stagesHead to the Battle menu and clear all 30 stages.

These drop crafting materials you’ll need for pretty much everything in the game.
River of ReflectionThis gives you 10 attempts daily and is where you’ll source materials specific to your love interest’s development.
Courier TravelA short dispatch task that only needs to be done once a day.
Shop exchangesMake it a habit to stop by the shop each day and spend your currencies.
Academic JourneyRuns passively in the background, but it won’t move on its own.

Check in daily and apply speed-up items to keep things progressing.
ExhibitionHas two parts: host your own, then like 10 exhibitions from friends.

Both are needed to complete the task, so don’t stop after just hosting yours.
Card levelingRequires spending at least 10,000 coins in one session.

For beginners, focus on whichever card you’re using most since there’s no point leveling something that’s sitting in your collection unused.
CraftsmanshipCan be found in your Growth menu. You don’t need to pour everything in at once — even a small daily contribution keeps this task ticked off and your stats moving forward.
SharingShare any piece of in-game content once, and you’re done.

Weekly tasks that count toward Light and Night dailies

Two tasks in Light and Night dailies operate on a weekly cycle, but they still contribute to your overall daily points.

Constellation and Dream Tower are both weekly activities, meaning you won’t need to do them every single day. However, when you do complete them, the points they give count toward your daily progress.

But don’t save these for the last day of the week! Spreading them out or completing them early gives you a buffer on busier days when you might not have time to go through your full to-do list.

Daily routine: Habits to build alongside your Light and Night dailies

Following a Light and Night daily routine is about building consistent habits that compound over time. These aren’t always tracked as formal quests in your log, but skipping them means leaving rewards behind.

Exchange Globe Orbs and Apple Orbs

Each day, you’ll want to go to the Shopping Center to exchange Ursa Minor Tokens at the Academic Journey section, and separately, Stamina at the Gallery section. These two run on different currencies, so make sure you’re visiting both rather than assuming one covers the other.

Stamina in Light and Night

Stamina management is something beginners tend to overlook. Your stamina has a cap of 120, and anything earned beyond that goes to waste. If your stamina is close to expiring, use it up before it’s gone.

The good news is that a single day’s worth of stamina is generally enough to get through your daily stages, though some events may require a little more.

Log in for more than 20 minutes

Time spent in-game actually matters as a reward metric in Light and Night. Logging in for at least 20 minutes each day qualifies you for gameplay time rewards, but if you can stretch to an hour, you’ll earn the maximum amount.

Affection in Light and Night

Affection is a slower-burning progression system. Tapping the heart on your love interest’s WeChat profile earns you 30 Affection points each day, while responding to one of their Moment posts gives you an additional 50. Together that’s 80 Affection points daily.

Tips for maximizing your daily Ursas efficiently

Once you’ve got the hang of your daily tasks and routine, a few small adjustments to how you approach them can make a noticeable difference in how smoothly everything runs.

  • Start with stamina-heavy tasks – Resource stages and River of Reflection both consume stamina, so it’s worth doing these first while your energy is full.
  • Keep an eye on your stamina cap – As a beginner, it’s easy to forget that stamina doesn’t accumulate indefinitely. If you’re sitting close to 120 and not planning to play for a while, spend it down before you log off.
  • Batch your Affection tasks together – The WeChat heart tap and the Moment post reply take less than a minute combined. Try to do them at the same time each day.
  • Don’t underestimate the time reward – It’s one of the easier rewards to miss because it doesn’t feel like an active task. If you’re already going through your To-Do list, you’re likely spending close to 20 minutes in-game anyway.
  • Log in every day, even on slow days – Missing a day doesn’t just cost you 120 Ursas but it can also break your rhythm on event tasks that require consecutive daily completions. Even a quick 10-minute session to knock out the basics is better than skipping entirely.
