11Overview22Fons is the primary in-world currency in Neverness to Everness, used to fund nearly every aspect of daily life in Hethereau. The currency is denominated with a dollar sign in the interface and abbreviated with K and M for thousands and millions of Fons. While other currencies like Beetle Coins handle smaller everyday vendor transactions and Annulith powers the gacha pulls, Fons is the cash that drives the City Tycoon economy. It funds property purchases, vehicles, vehicle parts and customization, business operations, fashion outfits, auction-hall items, and most NPC services around Hethereau.44Fons circulates through a self-contained economic loop. Players earn Fons by clearing one-time vault pickups, running biweekly heists, working side activities and mini-games around the city, and managing their own businesses, then reinvest those earnings into more property, more cafes, and more vehicles, which in turn generate more Fons over time. Most stamina-gated earn methods are throttled by City Stamina, which resets weekly, but a long list of un-throttled sources (vault pickups, the heist cap, combat drops, quest completions, business profits) means there is always more Fons to chase outside of the weekly stamina budget. For step-by-step optimal routes, dollar-per-minute rates, and a full early-game farming plan, see the Currency Farming Guide. This page is the reference for what Fons is, where it comes from at a high level, and what it gets spent on.66How to Earn Fons88Fons sources fall into three broad buckets: one-time pickups that pay large lump sums, repeatable activities gated by City Stamina, and uncapped activities that scale with time invested. The total supply available to a single player is intentionally large in early progression, so completing the major one-time sources first is usually the fastest path to a sustainable Fons income.1010Vault Pickups (One-Time)1212Several locations across Hethereau hide static loot vaults that pay out large sums of Fons the first time they are opened, then disappear permanently. Roughly 600,000 Fons in vault rewards are scattered across the open world for any new player to claim, with the largest single payout sitting inside the Pink Paws Bank headquarters tower. Major vault hubs include the bank HQ (200,000 Fons), a downtown mid-rise (100,000 Fons), an industrial factory (multiple smaller vaults across two floors), an abandoned hospital sequence (50,000 Fons), and a small house cluster (50,000 Fons each). Routes and exact locations are documented in the Currency Farming Guide.1414Pink Paws Heist (Biweekly)1616The Pink Paws Heist is a biweekly co-op mode that unlocks at City Tycoon level 10. Each two-week cycle has a hard 1,000,000 Fons cap on heist earnings, and an optimized four-player team running with the gold access card to the final boss room can typically reach the cap in well under an hour of play. The boss in the final vault drops the largest single Fons pile in the mode, while statues and gold bars scattered through earlier floors fill in the gap. Heist runs also award purple Pink Paws coins, which are spent on a separate exchange shop for outfit and vehicle skins rather than for more Fons.1818City Stamina Activities (Weekly)2020Most repeatable Fons activities consume City Stamina, a weekly resource that resets every Monday at 05:00 server time. The available stamina pool scales with City Tycoon level, and at higher Tycoon ranks a 2x stamina-usage option unlocks that doubles both the stamina spent and the Fons earned per attempt, halving the time needed to drain the weekly budget. Each unit of City Stamina pays out a fixed amount of Fons regardless of which Hethereau Hobbies activity is chosen, so the right pick is whichever activity the player enjoys most.2222Side Activities2424ActivityTypeDescriptionFishingOutdoorCatch fish at various spots around Hethereau. Fish can be sold directly to vendors for Fons or used as ingredients in cooking and restaurant operations.Vehicle RacingCompetitionRace through the city streets against NPCs or other players. Completing races awards Fons based on finishing position.MahjongTable GamePlay full tile-based mahjong against NPCs or other players. Winning hands earn Fons rewards, with higher-scoring hands paying more.Rhythm Mini-GameMusicHit notes in time with the music. Higher accuracy scores yield better Fons payouts.Taxi DrivingWorkPick up and drop off NPC passengers at their requested destinations around the city. Fons are earned per completed fare, and characters from the player's own roster occasionally appear as passengers, which raises bond level alongside the Fons payout. Also called Swift Travel inside the Hethereau Hobbies menu.Part-Time JobsWorkTake on various short-term jobs around Hethereau for Fons income. Job types and payouts vary.Door-to-Door DeliveryWorkTransport packages between locations within time limits. Each run takes under two minutes, making delivery one of the most stamina-efficient choices when the goal is to drain the weekly cap quickly.2626Combat and Quest Sources2727Several Fons sources do not consume City Stamina at all and have no weekly cap. These uncapped sources scale with time spent in combat or with the player's quest log rather than with the stamina pool, so they are valuable for players who want to keep earning after the weekly stamina budget is exhausted.2929SourceCapNotesChiz Strong AttackNoneChiz's strong attack (held basic attack) passively drops Fons whenever it connects with an enemy, in the rough range of about 1,000 Fons per hit at early levels. Spamming Chiz's strong attack inside a combat dungeon turns enemy-clearing time into raw Fons income with no stamina cost. Chiz is awarded for free at City Tycoon milestone levels, with awakening copies and her signature weapon also handed out as Tycoon progress rewards.Daily QuestsDaily resetDaily quest checklists pay small Fons rewards in addition to other materials. Stacking the daily quests across a week adds up to a meaningful baseline.Side Quests And Blue Exclamation MarksPer questWorld map markers and side quests scattered through Hethereau pay one-time Fons rewards on completion. Map icons can be tagged for later cleanup when the player runs through an area.Crime and Wanted SystemPer encounterFighting beat cops, mob enforcers, and scripted street thugs drops cash and gold bars on death. The wanted system both spawns and rewards these encounters, so playing aggressively in the open world is itself a Fons source.Auction Hall SalesNoneItems obtained through gameplay (rare furniture, surplus materials, anomaly drops) can be listed at the Auction Hall to convert into Fons. The Auction Hall also operates in reverse as a Fons sink for items the player wants to buy.3131Endgame Fons Sources3232At higher progression levels, additional repeatable Fons sources unlock. These vary in difficulty and time investment but provide steady income beyond the weekly stamina cap.3434SourceDescriptionCircle BountyAn endgame activity that involves tracking and eliminating targets connected to The Circle organization. Pays Fons alongside endgame materials.Riftcrystal MiningResource-gathering activity that drops Riftcrystal alongside a Fons payout.High-Risk CommissionsDifficult Bureau commissions with elevated Fons rewards. Recommended once the squad is geared enough to clear them safely.Vehicle RequisitionDriving missions and vehicle commissions across the city. Pays per completed run and stacks well with normal traversal.City Tycoon Level RewardsEach City Tycoon level milestone awards a one-time Fons payout (and Mind Shards) on top of unlocking new content. Tycoon progress is itself a major source of Fons across the leveling curve.3636Business Operations3737The Business Management system within City Tycoon allows players to run their own stores and earn Fons through revenue. The first cafe unlocks at City Tycoon level 4 and costs 20,000 Fons to purchase, which makes it one of the cheapest long-term Fons investments in the game. Each owned cafe can hire two employees, and any Espers assigned as employees apply their Life Skill bonuses to that branch's revenue.3939Restaurant operations follow a similar structure but involve more menu management. In both cases, Fons are spent on ingredients and supplies (ideally via the delivery option, which is far less time-intensive than visiting suppliers in person), and the goal is to earn more in sales than is spent on restocking. Setting prices, running promotions, and rotating in newer recipe items as they unlock all affect profit margins. For example, Skia's Life Skill increases dish prices and boosts customer patience at the restaurant, directly improving revenue per shift. Other strong cafe employees include Nanaly (combo-based tip increase up to 5x), Mint (+15% overall price increase), and Bai Tong (removes the streak-loss penalty when customers lose patience or are mishandled).4141What Fons Buys4343Fons is accepted across most paid systems in the game. It covers quality-of-life purchases, progression-critical investments, and a small set of endgame currency exchanges where Fons converts into specialized resources.4545SinkTypical CostNotesCafe Purchase (First Cafe)20,000 FonsUnlocks at City Tycoon level 4. The cheapest large-impact Fons spend in the game; buying the first Business Management branch as soon as it's available compounds passive Fons income for the rest of the playthrough.Cafe RestockingVariableRecurring small Fons cost to keep ingredients stocked. Delivery restocks cost slightly more than walking to suppliers but save large amounts of player time.PropertiesTens of thousands to millionsApartments, mansions, and seaside suites are purchased through the Property Manager. Higher-end homes cost significantly more Fons. See Housing System for the full property list.Property RenovationsPer-roomRenovating a room replaces walls, floors, and built-in fixtures, and unlocks furniture collection rewards inside that property.VehiclesVariableCars, motorcycles, and scooters are purchased through the Garage and unlocked via City Tycoon progression. Vehicle stock rotates as new models are released.Vehicle CustomizationVariableParts, paint, decals, and performance upgrades. Each owned vehicle has its own customization slot, so cosmetic spend scales with garage size.FurnitureVariableDecorations, appliances, and collectible items used to decorate owned properties. Premium pieces carry higher Fons price tags and contribute toward furniture-collection currency rewards used to upgrade Esper management skills.Outfits (Fashion Shop)VariableMany character outfits in the in-game Fashion Shop can be purchased with Fons (such as the Daffodil and Esper Zero ranges), while a separate set of outfits is gated behind premium currency.Auction Hall ItemsPer itemPlayers spend Fons (and other currencies) at the Auction Hall on items like Covetous Coins, Good Boy Stamps, and A Glass of Water. The Auction Hall stock rotates weekly and unlocks after completing The Never-Ending Arachne main story quest.Hunter Exchange Tri-Keys24,000 Fons eachThe Hunter Exchange offers up to 8 Tri-Key purchases per refresh at 24,000 Fons each, which is the major recurring high-cost Fons sink for endgame progression.Annulith (Hunter Exchange)150 Fons eachThe Hunter Exchange also sells up to 100 Annulith per refresh at 150 Fons each, which is a small but reliable Fons-to-premium-currency drip for players who want to convert Fons into pull currency.Lost Piece ShopVariableA specialized currency-exchange shop where Fons converts into rare progression items and event currencies.NPC ServicesSmallVarious around-the-city NPCs accept Fons for utility services such as fast travel taxis, fashion accessories, and minor consumables. None are individually expensive but they accumulate over time.4747Caps and Resets4848Most Fons sources do not have a hard cap. Only stamina-gated activities and the biweekly heist mode are capped, which means a motivated player who keeps completing combat content, side quests, and Tycoon level rewards can keep earning Fons indefinitely outside the throttled sources.5050SourceCapResetCity StaminaWeekly stamina pool (scales with Tycoon level)Monday 05:00 server timePink Paws Heist1,000,000 Fons per cycleEvery two weeksDaily QuestsPer-quest payoutDaily 05:00 server timeVault PickupsOne-time per vaultNever (permanent removal once claimed)Hunter Exchange8 Tri-Keys + 100 Annulith per refreshPer shop refresh scheduleCombat Drops, Side Quests, Auction Sales, City Tycoon RewardsNoneNone5252Unspent City Stamina does not carry over between weeks, so any unused stamina at Monday's reset is lost Fons income. Pink Paws Heist's two-week cap is enforced regardless of how many heist runs the player completes; once 1,000,000 Fons have been earned in a cycle, additional runs in the same window pay reduced amounts. The Stamina System page covers how City Stamina compares to other resource pools used in combat progression.5353Fons vs. Other Currencies5555Neverness to Everness uses a multi-tier Currencies economy. Fons occupies a specific niche within that system, distinct from the other major currencies players encounter.5757Beetle Coins are the general-purpose free currency used for everyday vendor purchases, consumables, and crafting materials. They circulate in much larger quantities than Fons but cover smaller per-item costs. There is no direct conversion between Beetle Coins and Fons.Annulith is the premium currency that converts into Solid Dice and Fabricated Dice for the gacha pull system. Annulith is mostly earned through paid bundles, daily login rewards, and event milestones, but the Hunter Exchange does sell a small Annulith stock for Fons (150 Fons per Annulith, up to 100 per refresh), making it the only Fons-to-premium conversion path in the game.Fons specifically fuels the City Tycoon ecosystem: property, vehicles, business operations, furniture, outfits, auction-hall items, and endgame Tri-Key purchases. Fons is the only currency accepted for property purchases, vehicle parts, and most business restocks.Pink Paws Coins (the purple coins earned during the heist) are a heist-only currency redeemed at a separate exchange shop for outfit and vehicle skins. They do not convert to Fons and are not interchangeable with any other currency.Specialized auction tokens like Covetous Coins and Good Boy Stamps are earned from anomaly pilgrimages, not bought with Fons directly. They sit alongside Fons inside the Auction Hall economy rather than competing with it.5959Apart from the Hunter Exchange's Annulith conversion, no Fons-to-other-currency exchanges exist. Each currency stays in its own progression track, and Fons is intentionally the broadest because it supports the largest number of in-world systems.6161Tips6363Buy the first cafe at City Tycoon level 4 even if 20,000 Fons feels expensive at the time. The compounding revenue from a stocked cafe outpaces every other early-game investment.Spend City Stamina early each week. Unspent stamina does not carry over, so leaving it untouched until Sunday means lost Fons. The 2x stamina-usage option, once unlocked at higher Tycoon levels, halves the time needed to drain the weekly budget.Run Pink Paws Heist with a four-player team and only one player needs the gold access card. Co-op runs reach the 1,000,000 Fons biweekly cap in well under an hour with average RNG.Keep Chiz in the active party as a main DPS during combat farming. Her strong attack passively drops Fons on hit, turning enemy clears into raw income at no stamina cost.Reinvest Fons into Business Management branches as soon as new locations unlock. Owning multiple cafes multiplies passive income, and assigning Espers with the right Life Skills (Skia, Nanaly, Mint, Bai Tong) further boosts revenue per shift.Sweep all open-world vault locations early in the playthrough. Roughly 600,000 Fons is sitting in static vaults waiting to be claimed and never resets, so the longer they sit, the more Fons stays locked away. The Currency Farming Guide lists every vault route in detail.Do the daily Door-to-Door Delivery run if the goal is fast stamina spending. Each delivery takes under two minutes and covers ground useful for picking up other map markers along the way.Pre-registration rewards include 3,000 Fons. Claim them from the in-game mailbox after logging in for the first time to get a head start on the City Tycoon progression curve.Save Fons for Tri-Keys at the Hunter Exchange once endgame progression begins. At 24,000 Fons each and up to 8 per refresh, the Hunter Exchange Tri-Key rotation is the largest recurring sink in the late game and should not be skipped.
