Neverness to Everness Beginner Roadmap: First 30 Days Day-by-Day Dashboard, 12 Free S Arcs & Must-Grab Resources

Quick answer: In NTE you can grab 3 S characters + 12+ free S Arcs purely from free resources in your first 30 days. Key milestones: login Day 3 (Aurelia), Day 10 (Galactic Reprieve S Arc), the launch 50-pull selector (Sakiri / Jiuyuan), City Tycoon Lv 18 (free S Main DPS Chiz), Hunter Lv 35 (Jiuyuan’s signature Arc). This article folds every key action, stamina plan, gacha budget, and trap-to-avoid for all 30 days into a single dashboard, so beginners can follow it step by step with zero mistakes.

NTE is one of the most generous gacha games for new players — an F2P player can reach mid-spender-level power in just 30 days. But without a roadmap it’s easy to miss resources (missing Day 10’s Galactic Reprieve is a major loss). This article folds the timing, location, and reward of every action into a day-by-day dashboard.

Day 1 (Launch Day) — Don’t-Miss Checklist

1. Finish the tutorial — follow the main story until the “Market” opens so you can enter the shop
2. Claim pre-registration rewards (the global 35 million pre-reg target was hit):
   • A-rank character Haniel (main-story Healer, absolutely keep)
   • 30,000 Beetle Coins, 20 Elite Hunter Guides, 20 Fabricated Dice
   • “Naughty Otter” glider skin (5-million-follower milestone)

   • Recommended order: Sakiri (T0 Buffer) > Jiuyuan (T1 Sub-DPS) > Baicang (T1 Incantation Main DPS) > Daffodill > Fadia > Hathor
   • The advice is to “wait until you naturally roll your first S, then decide who to pick” to avoid duplicates
4. Claim 14-day login Day 1-2 rewards
5. Start the story with protagonist Esper Zero — obtain Mint (A-rank Liquid) + unlock the location of the “Eclipse” prerequisite NPC

30-Day Crystals Budget (F2P / Light Spender / Whale)

A. F2P Player

• 120+ free launch pulls + redemption codes ~10 pulls + pre-reg + main story / quests + the free tier of the Battle Pass
• Daily activities steadily produce ~60 Crystals/day → about 1,800 Crystals over 30 days
• Accumulated total: ~30,000 Crystals (about 200 pulls)
• Recommendation: use the 50-pull selector on Sakiri, then save the rest of your Crystals entirely for a limited Main DPS (Hotori the Firebird 5/13-6/3, or 1.1 Lacrimosa), where the hard pity at 90 pulls is guaranteed and won’t go off-target

B. 170 Monthly Card Buyer (light spend)

• F2P base + monthly card 30 days = 2,700 Crystals + 300 opening Fissured Crystals + 900,000 Fons
• Accumulated total: ~33,000 Crystals (about 206 pulls)
• Recommendation: add pulls for the Firebird’s “Marching Beyond Time” signature Arc (key for high-difficulty Abyss)

C. Battle Pass Elite ($9.99) Buyer

• An extra 680 Crystals per cycle (42 days) + 700,000 Fons + a lot of upgrade materials
• Extremely high value — the 680 Crystals alone pay it back
• Recommendation: anyone light-spending and up should buy it; if you don’t buy it, pile all your resources into the F2P route

D. Whale Player (6-tier first-purchase double)

• Buying all of them ≈ $200 (~6,600 TWD) for 26,160 Fissured Crystals
• About 163 pulls + monthly card + pass + F2P base ≈ 400+ pulls
• Enough to pull two limited characters + one limited signature Arc

8 Big Traps to Avoid ⚠️

#	Trap	Consequence
1	Letting stamina cap out	Ceiling is 240; natural regen stops past it — clear it before 05:00 each day
2	Not clearing City Vitality	Ceiling is 700, refills full on Monday — not clearing = 700,000 Fons lost
3	Grinding ride-hailing before Tycoon Lv 16	No ×2 bonus, so efficiency is halved
4	Grinding Rabbit Hole before Hunter Lv 25	Orange Drive Block drop rate is too poor — pure stamina waste; it only gets good once Lv 30 opens Fissure difficulty
5	Skipping pre-reg / 14-day login	Missing Day 3 Aurelia / Day 10 Galactic Reprieve is a huge loss
6	Skipping the Wishing Pool / divination / Wish Tree Slope blessings	Nakupenda 100 Mhm Coins = one S Arc; divination points you to hidden side quests; Wish Tree Slope gives +50 affinity
7	Pulling Crystals recklessly instead of saving	NTE has no 50/50 — locking onto a target character and concentrating your pulls is the only efficient way
8	Spreading resources across every character	Max out one Main DPS first; the mantra: EXP → Ascension → Skills → Arc → Gear

Day 30 Tally: What You Should Have

After completing the 30-day roadmap, an F2P player should have:

• ✅ S-rank characters: selector (Sakiri) + City Tycoon gift (Chiz) + limited pity (1-2 depending on luck) = 3-4 total
• ✅ A-rank characters: Esper Zero, Aurelia, Haniel, Mint, Edgar, Adler, Skia (depending on main-story progress)
• ✅ S-rank Arcs: 12+ free S Arcs (the must-grab list in this guide)
• ✅ S-rank Gear: the full Lost Radiance set + Rabbit Hole Fissure output
• ✅ Fons savings: 5M earned cumulatively + 1M held (triggers Thinking Cat’s +25% elemental damage)
• ✅ Stamina hubs: City Tycoon Lv 21+, Hunter Lv 35+, 700/week Vitality

At this point you should be able to attempt full-star Abyss and head into the 1.1 “Dream Roaming Corridor” version (live 6/3).
