In the ever-evolving world of Teyvat, the return of the beloved Feline Fortress Furrdyssey event has players purring with delight. As of 2026, this fan-favorite activity continues to charm with its heartwarming premise of building dream homes for Mondstadt's most adorable stray cats. On Day 3, the spotlight shines on Dustball, a fluffy feline whose quest for the perfect relaxing room presents a delightful puzzle of comfort and aesthetics. Successfully creating this sanctuary is not just an act of kindness; it's a gateway to precious Primogems, valuable materials, and deepening bonds with the game's beloved characters.

🏠 Blueprint for Bliss: Setting Up Dustball's Sanctuary

Creating the ideal environment for Dustball is like assembling a perfect cup of tea—every element must be chosen with care to steep into an atmosphere of pure comfort. Players must head to the designated quest location and select furnishings that prioritize Comfiness, maintain a balanced Aesthetics score, and keep Durability to a minimum. The required items for Dustball's Fluffy Feline Home are non-negotiable, forming the foundational architecture of his cozy retreat.

Essential Furnishings Checklist:

  • Standing Clock ⏰

  • Green Stool 🪑

  • Bookshelf with a Typewriter 📚

  • Dark Green Carpet 🟩

  • Multi-level Cat Tree 🐱

Selecting these specific items is crucial. Think of it as tuning a delicate instrument; the right combination will resonate with the perfect harmony of attributes needed to appease the event's scoring system and, more importantly, please your feline client.

❤️ The Path to 'Inseparable': Bonding with Dustball

With the room set, the real magic begins. Before initiating play, you have the option to feed Dustball. This choice is purely for role-playing flavor in 2026's version and has no mechanical impact, so feel free to offer whatever treat your heart desires.

The core of the challenge is raising your friendship level with Dustball to "Inseparable," a gauge displayed on the left side of the screen. Building this bond is a tactile exercise in understanding feline preferences. Dustball's affection points are gained through gentle pets in specific zones. Mastering this is like learning a secret dance—the rhythm is in the repetition of the right moves.

Petting Guide for Max Friendship:

Action Effect Recommendation
Pet Head 🐱 + Friendship Pet repeatedly!
Pet Upper Torso + Friendship Pet repeatedly!
Pet Tail + Friendship A few gentle strokes.
Pet Front Paws + Friendship A few gentle strokes.
Pet Lower Torso - Friendship ❌ AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Pet Ears - Friendship ❌ AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Pet Back Paws - Friendship ❌ AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Focus your attention on the head and upper torso for the fastest friendship gains. Watching the friendship meter climb is as satisfying as watching honey slowly drizzle from a spoon—a slow, sweet accumulation towards your goal.

🎁 Reaping the Rewards & A Special Encounter

Once the "Inseparable" status is achieved, you can exit play mode and claim your well-earned rewards. The bounty for completing Dustball's Relaxing Room challenge in 2026 remains generous, offering resources crucial for any adventurer's journey:

  • Primogems x80 – The universal currency of wishes and fate.

  • Mora x40,000 – Essential for leveling up characters and weapons.

  • Guide to Ballad x6 – Valuable talent-leveling material for characters like Venti and Albedo.

But the rewards extend beyond the material. After tending to Dustball, players are treated to a special guest interaction. The arrival of Razor, the wolf boy from Wolvendom, adds a poignant narrative layer to the event. This interaction, a staple of the 2026 event iteration, beautifully ties the act of caring for a stray cat to the broader found-family themes often explored in character stories, reminding players that kindness in Teyvat often bridges the world between humans, spirits, and animals.
