NTE Guide - Neverness to Everness Wiki
The official NTE launch is here, and the developers have announced approximately 418 free pulls for all players - a number that has the entire community buzzing. What does 418 pulls mean in practice? With NTE's pity system of 90 pulls for a guaranteed S-rank and 180 for the featured character, 418 pulls theoretically secures at least 2 guaranteed S-rank characters, and with some luck, potentially 3 to 4. This guide breaks down every source of these free pulls to help F2P players maximize their resources.
- 1Overview: Where Do the 418 Pulls Come From?
Based on the livestream announcements and beta test rewards, the 418 free pulls are distributed across these categories: livestream redeem codes (~18 pulls), pre-registration milestone rewards (~40 pulls), beginner banner free pulls (20 pulls), permanent banner 50-pull S-rank selector, launch event rewards (~80 pulls), main story and side quest rewards (~100 pulls), exploration rewards including chests and achievements (~40 pulls), and daily/weekly task accumulation in the first month (~20 pulls). Let us examine each source in detail.
- 1Livestream Redeem Codes: 6 Codes with Different Rewards
During the pre-launch livestream, the developers released 6 redeem codes, each containing different rewards. About 4 of these codes grant wish vouchers directly, totaling approximately 18 pulls. The remaining two codes provide upgrade materials and large experience books. These codes have a time limit - typically expiring 72 hours after the stream ends - so redeem them as soon as you enter the game. After completing the tutorial, open the code redemption page in the settings menu and enter them one by one. Each code is single-use per account.
- 1Pre-Registration Rewards: Milestone Bonuses
NTE set multiple milestone targets during the pre-registration phase. When registrations hit 5 million, all players unlocked 20 pulls. At 10 million, an additional 10 pulls were unlocked, and at 15 million, another 10 pulls. Combined with the base pre-registration rewards of wish vouchers and Anomaly Coins, the pre-registration program contributes approximately 40 pulls total. These rewards arrive via in-game mail after character creation, so be sure to check your mailbox promptly.
- 1Beginner Banner: 20 Free Pulls Plus S-Rank Selector
This is perhaps the most generous launch benefit. NTE offers a dedicated beginner banner where players can perform 20 pulls completely free. Even better, completing these 20 pulls grants an S-rank character selector ticket, allowing you to choose any permanent S-rank character. This benefit alone is equivalent to a free S-rank character plus 20 pulls worth of resources. When using the selector, consider complementing the S-rank characters you obtain from other sources. For example, if you pull a DPS S-rank elsewhere, select a support or healer here to round out your team.
- 1Permanent Banner Selector: S-Rank Ticket at 50 Pulls
The permanent wish banner features a similar mechanic: after accumulating 50 pulls on the permanent banner, the system grants an S-rank character selector ticket. This selector has a wider selection pool, covering all permanent S-rank characters. These 50 pulls do not need to come exclusively from free resources, but given the abundance of free pulls available, reaching 50 on the permanent banner is entirely achievable. With proper planning, F2P players can secure at least two targeted S-rank characters right at launch - an unprecedented level of generosity compared to similar games.
- 1Launch Event Rewards: Approximately 80 Pulls
Multiple limited-time events will run during the launch period, serving as a major source of free pulls. The launch celebration event typically runs for 14 to 21 days, offering approximately 40 pulls for completing all tasks. The concurrent login event rewards about 15 pulls over 7 to 14 consecutive days of play. Additionally, the beginner-exclusive 7-day challenge grants roughly 25 pulls for completing all objectives. All these events have deadlines, so check the event panel daily and prioritize tasks that are expiring soon.
- 1Main Story and Side Quest Rewards: Approximately 100 Pulls
Progressing through the main storyline is one of the most stable sources of wish resources. NTE's story is divided into chapters, and completing key story milestones rewards wish vouchers or Anomaly Coins. Based on beta data, completing the full main story yields approximately 60 to 70 pulls. Side quests offer smaller individual rewards but add up significantly - completing all side content provides an additional 20 to 30 pulls. Character story missions also grant small amounts of wish resources upon completion. Together, story and side content accounts for roughly a quarter of all free pulls.
- 1Exploration Rewards: Chests, Achievements, and More (~40 Pulls)
The open world of NTE is filled with explorable content, including four tiers of chests: common, exquisite, precious, and luxurious. Opening chests yields Anomaly Coins and materials, and accumulated coins can purchase wish vouchers. Reaching certain exploration completion thresholds in specific areas also grants wish vouchers directly. The achievement system provides another resource stream - completing specific achievements like defeating certain bosses, collecting particular items, or finishing exploration challenges awards wish vouchers. All exploration content combined contributes approximately 40 pulls. While this requires dedicated exploration time, the materials and experience gained along the way are equally valuable for character progression.
- 1Daily and Weekly Task Accumulation: ~20 Pulls in the First Month
Daily commissions provide a fixed amount of Anomaly Coins and experience, while weekly tasks offer more substantial rewards. Individual task rewards may seem modest, but they accumulate significantly over time. In the first month alone, daily and weekly tasks provide approximately 20 pulls worth of wish resources. The key advantage of this source is its sustainability - beyond the first month, daily and weekly tasks remain the primary steady source of wish vouchers for F2P players. Develop the habit of clearing daily commissions every day, even when time is limited, and tackle weekly tasks over the weekend.
- 1Resource Planning Recommendations
How you allocate 418 pulls is critically important. First, prioritize the beginner banner's 20 pulls - they are completely free with a guaranteed S-rank selector, so there is no reason to skip them. Second, aim to complete the 50 pulls on the permanent banner to secure the second S-rank selector ticket. For your remaining pulls, if the current limited banner features a character you want, concentrate your resources there. If the limited character does not interest you, spread resources across the permanent banner to diversify your roster. Avoid spending everything at launch - reserving some pulls for future limited banners is a wiser long-term strategy. Check our redeem codes page regularly to ensure you never miss free resources.
A final reminder: 418 pulls represents the total available through active participation in all free sources. Your actual count may vary based on playtime and completion rate. However, even without completing everything perfectly, securing 300 or more free pulls is entirely realistic. Plan wisely, enjoy the game, and may your pulls bring the characters you desire!
