City Stamina
April 27, 2026 at 07:33 PM
Initial version (2026-04-28)
City Stamina is a weekly-resetting resource in Neverness to Everness that gates rewards from Hethereau Hobbies and city-side activities. It is the city counterpart to the standard combat stamina used for instanced anomaly dungeons. The two stamina pools are completely separate: spending one does not affect the other, and the systems use different reset cadences.
The City Stamina resource exists to balance the urban life-sim layer of the game. Without a stamina cap, players could grind Fons indefinitely from city activities. The cap creates a weekly resource budget that encourages players to engage with a variety of activities (fishing, mahjong, racing, taxi work, business management) rather than spamming the single most efficient earner.
Detail | Value |
|---|---|
Resource Type | Weekly-resetting activity stamina |
Reset Cadence | Once per week (specific server reset time) |
Used By | Hethereau Hobbies and city-side reward activities |
Independent From | Combat stamina (used for instanced dungeons and anomaly commissions) |
Reward Function | Activities consume City Stamina to award rewards |
Without Stamina | Activities still playable for fun but yield no rewards |
City Stamina powers most Fons-earning activities in Hethereau:
Fishing: catching fish at outdoor spots
Mahjong: winning hands at Little Sparrow or other parlours
Street Racing: completing race events
Taxi Driving: fares around the city
Part-Time Jobs: shift-based work at city businesses
Rhythm Mini-Game: hitting notes for score-based rewards
Cooking: preparing dishes for business management use
Claw Machine: prize-grab attempts at the arcade
Each activity consumes a different amount of City Stamina per reward payout, so players who want to maximize their weekly Fons income should track which activities give the highest return per stamina point.
Several activities are unrelated to City Stamina and operate on different rules:
Anomaly Dungeons: use combat stamina, not City Stamina
Pink Paws Heist: instanced co-op content with separate energy gating
Coldmount Hospital: instanced co-op content with separate energy gating
Anomaly Commissions: use combat stamina
Story chapters: no stamina cost; clear at any pace
Open-world exploration: free of stamina costs
Photo mode: always free
City Stamina refills to its full cap at the weekly reset. The exact reset time depends on the server region: Asia, America, Europe, and Southeast Asia (see Regional Servers) each have their own reset clock tied to local timezones.
Unspent City Stamina at the time of the reset does not carry over. Players who do not consume their stamina each week effectively waste the resource, so the system rewards consistent weekly engagement rather than long sessions interspersed with weeks of inactivity.
Most efficient City Stamina spending follows a few rules:
Diversify across activities. Hitting the daily commission lists for Fishing, Mahjong, and Racing each week typically yields more rewards than dumping all stamina into one activity.
Prioritize Fons-heavy activities. If your goal is City Tycoon progression, focus on activities that pay Fons over those that pay miscellaneous rewards.
Use character bonuses. Some characters have Life Skills that buff specific activities. Skia's Life Skill increases dish prices and customer patience at the restaurant, directly improving Fons-per-stamina ratios there.
Save business shifts for high-value windows. [object Object]
Burn stamina before reset. Unspent stamina is lost at the weekly reset. Plan to spend everything during the final 24 hours if you have leftover budget.
