NTE Top-Up Guide (Global): Prices, Bonuses & Monthly Pass
Neverness to Everness (NTE) Global top-up guide: the official Top-Up Center, Riftcrystal pack prices and bonuses, how the first-purchase double works, and whether the $4.99 monthly pass and Circle Bounty are worth it.
Published: 2026/05/24 · Updated: 2026/09/30
Quick answer: On the Global server you can top up in-game on your platform or on the official web Top-Up Center — both give the same bonuses. You buy Riftcrystal, which converts 1:1 into Annulith (160 per pull). Best value, in order: (1) the Riftcrystal Mining Permit ($4.99) → (2) Circle Bounty Elite ($9.99) → (3) the first-purchase double on each pack tier. Once the doubles are used up, bigger packs give more per dollar.
This guide covers the Global server run by Perfect World (Asia, America, Europe and SEA servers). The Taiwan/HK/Macau server run by iWplay has different payment methods and rules — see the note near the end.
⚠️ This article is for information only. Please top up yourself through the official channels. This site does not sell top-ups, does not collect payments, and does not recommend any third-party top-up service.
Two currencies: Riftcrystal and Annulith
| Currency | What it is | How you get it |
|---|---|---|
| Riftcrystal | Premium currency | Bought with real money (every pack) |
| Annulith | The currency you pull with | Converted 1:1 from Riftcrystal, plus missions, events and the monthly pass |
One pull costs 160 Annulith and a 10-pull costs 1,600. Some guides call Annulith “Crystals”. Pity rules are in Gacha Pity System Explained, and free sources are in the F2P resource guide.
Where to top up
| Channel | Who can use it | Payment | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-game shop | Players on that platform | App Store, Google Play, Galaxy Store, Steam, Epic, PlayStation Store or the PC launcher | Steam and Epic purchases are charged to the Steam or Epic account that launched the game |
| Official web Top-Up Center | Every platform, including PS5 | Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay (options vary by region) | Choose your server and character; same bonuses as in-game; occasional web-only bundles |
- Open the Top-Up Center from the cart icon on the official website or the Top-Up Center button in the PC client.
- Purchases are shared across platforms on the same account (PS5 needs your accounts linked first). Logging in with a different method, such as Google instead of Apple, creates a separate account, so check which one you are on.
- The four Global servers do not share data. Make sure the character you pick is on the server you actually play.
Riftcrystal pack prices and bonuses
| Riftcrystal | USD | First purchase | Later purchases | Total on first purchase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | $0.99 | +60 | — | 120 |
| 300 | $4.99 | +300 | +30 | 600 |
| 980 | $14.99 | +980 | +110 | 1,960 |
| 1,980 | $29.99 | +1,980 | +260 | 3,960 |
| 3,280 | $49.99 | +3,280 | +600 | 6,560 |
| 6,480 | $99.99 | +6,480 | +1,600 | 12,960 |
USD prices are from the US App Store and PlayStation Store; other regions pay in local currency.
Which tier is the best value?
- First purchase: every tier doubles, so they all land at about 120–132 Riftcrystal per dollar. The tier barely matters — start with the amount you would buy anyway.
- Later purchases: the bonus grows with the pack, so bigger packs are clearly better. The $99.99 pack gives 8,080 Riftcrystal (about 81 per dollar); the $4.99 pack gives 330 (about 66 per dollar).
First-purchase double: the rules
- Each of the six tiers doubles once per account, the first time you buy it.
- Web and in-game purchases share the same count. If you used the $29.99 double in-game, the Top-Up Center will not double it again. The web “First Purchase” label is only a guide; the bonus shown in-game is what counts.
- No reset has been announced in the official patch notes up to version 1.4.
- The “no double on PC” rule applies only to the Taiwan/HK/Macau server (MyCard payments). There is no such official rule on Global; if you buy on Steam or Epic, check that the pack shows the first-purchase bonus before paying.
Buying all six tiers once costs $200.94 and gives 26,160 Riftcrystal — about 163 pulls.
Monthly pass: Riftcrystal Mining Permit ($4.99)
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | $4.99 |
| On purchase | 300 Riftcrystal right away |
| Daily for 30 days | 90 Annulith + 30,000 Fons each day you log in |
| 30-day total | 300 Riftcrystal + 2,700 Annulith + 900,000 Fons |
| Buying more | Allowed while less than 179 days remain |
That is 3,000 pull currency (about 18 pulls) for $4.99 — roughly seven times what the $99.99 pack gives per dollar on a repeat purchase. The catch: days you do not log in are lost, so it only pays off if you play daily.
Battle pass: Circle Bounty
Circle Bounty runs one season per version with 70 ranks. The 1.4 season runs from September 30 to November 10, 2026 (ending 23:59 UTC+8).
| Tier | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Hunter Supply | Free | Rank rewards |
| Elite Hunter Supplies | $9.99 | 680 Annulith + 4 Solid Dice + 2 Fabricated Dice + an Arc-light Trove, Fons and upgrade materials |
| Honor Hunter Supplies | $19.99 | Everything in Elite + 10 instant ranks + avatar, frame and namecard + extra Fabricated Dice and Fons — no extra Annulith |
If you already own Elite, Hunter Promotion Supplies upgrades it to Honor.
- Elite is worth it if you play through each version: 680 Annulith plus 4 Solid Dice for the limited banner every season, with the materials on top.
- Honor is mostly cosmetic. Buy it only if you want the looks or the 10 ranks.
Other paid items
| Item | Price | Contents | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limited Press Arc Pack | $2.99 | 180 Riftcrystal + an S-class Arc | Once |
| Dual Band Dice Pack | $0.99 | 1 Fabricated Dice + 1 Solid Dice | Once |
The shop also rotates limited bundles (dice, research and bond packs), and the Top-Up Center sometimes has web-only bundles. We did not find a growth fund or a weekly pass on Global.
Recommended spending order
- Riftcrystal Mining Permit ($4.99) — buy it first if you log in daily.
- Circle Bounty Elite ($9.99) — if you play through each version.
- First-purchase doubles — start with the tier that fits your budget; each one doubles once.
- One-time packs such as the Limited Press Arc Pack ($2.99), if you want an S-class Arc early.
- After the doubles — larger packs give the most Riftcrystal per dollar.
- Honor tier and cosmetics — last, only for looks.
About third-party top-up sites
Some sites sell NTE top-ups at a discount but ask you to log in to your NTE account through their checkout, or even to hand over your email and password. We do not recommend them:
- The Terms of Service say only you may use your account (section 2.4(b)) and ban logging in through third-party systems the publisher has not authorized (section 3.4(h)).
- Perfect World takes no responsibility for purchases not made directly from it (section 5.1(d)).
If you want to save money, the monthly pass and the first-purchase doubles are the safe way to do it.
Playing on the Taiwan/HK/Macau server?
That server is run separately by iWplay, with its own accounts and payment methods — for example, PC payments go through MyCard and do not get the first-purchase double. See Global vs TW/HK/MO server for the full comparison.

FAQ
How do I top up in NTE (Global)? +
There are two official ways: (1) the in-game shop on the platform you play on (App Store, Google Play, Galaxy Store, Steam, Epic, PlayStation Store or the PC launcher), or (2) the official web Top-Up Center, which works for every platform including PS5. Purchases go to the character you choose and are shared across platforms on the same account.
Is the web Top-Up Center cheaper than buying in-game? +
We found no discount and no extra Riftcrystal on the web: packs carry the same first-purchase double and the same bonus as in-game, and the first-purchase count is shared between the two. The Top-Up Center does sometimes list web-only bundles, so it is worth a look.
What is the difference between Riftcrystal and Annulith? +
Riftcrystal is the premium currency you buy with real money; Annulith is the currency you pull with (some guides call it "Crystals"). Riftcrystal converts 1:1 into Annulith, and one pull costs 160 Annulith (1,600 for a 10-pull).
Is the $4.99 monthly pass worth it? +
Yes — it is the best-value item by far. The Riftcrystal Mining Permit gives 300 Riftcrystal right away, then 90 Annulith + 30,000 Fons every day you log in for 30 days: 3,000 pull currency in total, about 18 pulls. Days you miss are not made up, so buy it only if you play daily.
How does the first-purchase double work? +
Each of the six Riftcrystal tiers doubles once per account, the first time you buy it, and web and in-game purchases share the same count. No reset has been announced up to version 1.4. The "no double on PC" rule you may read about applies only to the Taiwan/HK/Macau server, which charges PC players through MyCard.
Is the Circle Bounty worth buying? +
Elite Hunter Supplies ($9.99) is good value if you play every version: each season gives 680 Annulith, 4 Solid Dice, 2 Fabricated Dice and upgrade materials. Honor Hunter Supplies ($19.99) adds 10 instant ranks and cosmetics but no extra Annulith, so skip it unless you want the looks.
