They didn't. The pulls you didn't use this round follow your account into the next one, and not a single one goes missing. How the vouchers work, whether a rerun honors your old count, and whether those 6,000 Diamonds from Home are still within reach: all of it gets laid out below. This Love and Deepspace guide does the math for you in advance, so you don't have to dig through announcements the next time a banner opens.
Love and Deepspace Limited Wish Pity: Shared Across Banners, Carried Forward
The official notice is explicit: the Wish pools run a double-pity system, and both the rules and the accumulated count are fully shared across every Limited Wish. The count you built up during the last event carries into this one, and what you build up now carries into the next.
In other words, limited banners don't reset each round; they accumulate into one running total. The ten-pull you "donated" this time, even if it felt like a loss back then, is still on your account the day the next banner opens.
"Padding" is a strange word for it. You paid for those pulls yourself, yet saying it makes it sound like you were warming the seat for someone else. On the books, though, they were always yours.
What people mix up is something else entirely: the milestone rewards expire, your pity count does not. Tiers are calculated per event and never merge across events, so the outfit and vouchers you didn't claim this round will not be handed to you next time.
There is also a line that stays cut. Limited-banner pity is not shared with the permanent pool, Xspace Echo, and once the event ends Rafayel: Fragrant Night has no other acquisition route. It will not be added to Xspace Echo either.
If you want it now, a rerun is your only wait. If you are waiting for it to join the permanent pool, that wait almost certainly never ends.
Love and Deepspace Milestone Rewards: 20 Vouchers Is a Rebate in Disguise
On the event page the milestone rewards sit in a tidy row: reach the required wish count and you can claim the exclusive outfit for Rafayel: Fragrant Night, a universal face accessory, Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20, a universal photo pose, and Memory ascension materials.
In that row of icons the outfit is the loudest, but the 20 vouchers are the most substantial.
20 limited vouchers are 20 pulls, which is a partial refund of what you already put in. So whether to top up comes down to "how many more pulls until this tier, and how many pulls do I get back," not "do I like this outfit." No matter how good the outfit looks, it cannot be converted back into pulls.
If you are 1 to 5 pulls short of the outfit tier, top up; that is nothing. If you are 20 or more away and only doing it for the outfit, stop and price out those 20 pulls first. Milestones are meant to be a bonus you collect wherever you happen to land, and the moment you pull specifically for them, the math stops working.
This holds for every limited banner.
After Fragrant Night Ends: Reruns and the Lunar Shop
Once the banner closes, a few things still need saying.
The outfit comes back with the rerun. After the event ends, the milestone-exclusive outfit has no other acquisition route; it returns alongside the Wish event's rerun, and the cumulative wish count from the original run carries over.
Half of that sentence is easy to skip past: on rerun day you don't start from zero. The count you built during the first run is still there, so you just keep counting from it. Plenty of players never learn this and agonize over it for an entire banner for nothing.
Accessories and photo poses take a different route: after this event ends they go up for exchange in the Lunar Shop. Anyone who missed the milestones still has a chance, though you have to buy them back with shop currency, and that costs you something else instead.
A free track ends the same day: the welfare event (「绒往直前」) and the collab check-in (「为你而真」). Neither consumes Wish vouchers; they run purely on showing up every day. Miss a day and it's gone, and you wait for the next round.
Everyone remembers where the money goes; the free stuff is what slips. Realizing only after the banner closes that you missed two days of check-in is a genuinely irritating feeling.
Love and Deepspace 6.0 Home: The 6,000-Diamond Track Is Still Running
The Wish side has wrapped up; Home is still ticking along as usual.
Version 6.0 (「万籁俱起」) launched on July 8, 2026, opening Rooms in Home and adding cooking and home crafting. The official patch notes promise that playing the various activities in the revamped Home can earn you over 6,000 Diamonds in cumulative rewards.
Those 6,000 Diamonds don't arrive in one drop; they build up a little at a time, day by day. If you just finished pulling and your reserves are empty, this is exactly the refill you need.
The daily routine is three things: cook once, craft once, clear the Home dailies. Ten to fifteen minutes. Each week, knock out the newly unlocked milestones as well; room decoration and gardening pay out the larger one-time Diamond rewards.
Starting now is not too late. Home is a permanent system with no deadline, and the 6,000 Diamonds are a cumulative total, so every day you put in counts; you just get there a little slower.
If you are short on Diamonds, grind it properly. If you are only here for the story, finishing the dailies is enough. You don't need to babysit the income every minute; that's how the game starts to feel like a job.
Love and Deepspace Resource Planning: How to Spend Diamonds and Wish Vouchers
Take the free things first. During an event, check-ins, collabs, and welfare pages are essentially zero-cost, so claim everything you can before you even think about pulling. Maxing out the free portion is worth a dozen-plus extra pulls on the same budget.
A dozen pulls is no small contribution to your pity count, and it costs you nothing.
If you are actually going to pull, read the price first. The Love and Deepspace limited wish page lists how many pulls this round offers and how many Diamonds each one deducts; the per-pull price is whatever the in-game Wish screen says (the official notice doesn't repeat pricing in the event description). Budget it as "pulls needed for your target tier × per-pull price."
Estimate by feel and you will almost always come up short.
Only then do you decide whether to pull at all. There is really one criterion: will you still go back to this character's art and story later? If yes, save up. If no, wait for the rerun. Love and Deepspace pity carries across banners, which makes waiting far cheaper than most people assume.
Common Beginner Mistakes in Love and Deepspace
Three places where new players most often get it wrong.
Assuming limited cards join the permanent pool. Limited 5-Star Memories have no acquisition route after the event and never enter Xspace Echo. Waiting for one to turn up there is a wait with no outcome.
Pulling extra for the outfit. The outfit is only one item in a milestone tier; the 20 limited vouchers are the substantial part. Adding 20 or more pulls purely for an outfit is almost never worth it.
Not knowing the Lunar Shop exists. Milestone accessories and poses go to the Lunar Shop, so missing the milestones doesn't mean losing them forever. If you want to catch up, check the shop's prices first, then decide whether this banner deserves extra pulls.
Which brings us back to the line we opened with.
At 4:59 a.m. on November 5, the moment the banner closed, you may have walked away with nothing, or walked away with exactly what you wanted and still felt uneasy. But a limited Wish was never a one-round verdict. It remembers every pull you put in and carries them forward, banner after banner.
What you are saving isn't a pull count. It is the ability to say, cleanly, "this time I can" when the next character you love shows up.
So don't rush it. Write down your count, claim every free reward, finish your Home dailies. On the next 4 a.m. launch, you will thank the version of yourself that didn't panic today.
Love and Deepspace FAQ
Does limited-banner pity reset to zero?
A: No. The accumulated count is shared and inherited across all Limited Wishes, so the next limited banner picks up right where you left off.
Do limited 5-Stars enter the permanent pool?
A: No. After the event ends, Rafayel: Fragrant Night has no other acquisition route and does not enter Xspace Echo.
Do the 20 milestone vouchers count as pulls?
A: Yes. Deepspace Wish: Limited ×20 equals 20 pulls, but they do expire.
Can I still get the accessories I missed?
A: Yes. Photo poses and accessories go up for exchange in the Lunar Shop after the event ends.
Do the 6,000 Home Diamonds have a deadline?
A: No. Home is a permanent system and the 6,000 Diamonds are a cumulative total, so you can earn them early or late.
For card art, story, and event-schedule cross-references, GameHub's guide section is archived by version number, which is faster to look up later than digging through announcements.
Action Checklist
- Check your accumulated limited-banner count, write it down, and carry it into the next banner.
- 1 to 5 pulls from the outfit tier: top up. 20 or more away: let the outfit go.
- Price the milestone accessories and poses in the Lunar Shop instead of pulling for them.
- Home dailies take 10 to 15 minutes a day; the 6,000 Diamonds are permanent income.
- Claim the free check-ins and collab rewards before the event ends; they don't consume Wish vouchers.
"Write down your count" comes first because pity carries across banners, yet the game never reminds you how much you banked when the next banner opens. Keeping your own record is the least painful option.
