Hunter Level

Hunter Level is the account-wide progression metric in Neverness to Everness. Unlike individual character levels, which track the growth of specific Espers, Hunter Level reflects your overall account standing and determines what content you can access. It serves as a gate for main story quests, system unlocks, and certain activities. Raising your Hunter Level is one of the most consistent daily priorities in the game.

How to Raise Hunter Level

The primary method for increasing Hunter Level is completing daily tasks. These rotate and refresh regularly, providing a reliable stream of progression as long as you log in and finish them. The daily structure means that steady play over many days yields better results than trying to grind everything in a single session.

Main story quests sometimes award significant Hunter Level progress, but they also require certain Hunter Level thresholds to begin. This creates a loop where you need to complete dailies to reach the required level, then complete the story quest, then continue dailies until the next gate. If you fall behind on daily tasks, the story can lock you out until you catch up. Consulting the daily routine guide helps ensure you do not miss important sources of progression each day.

Appraisal Level

Every 10 Hunter Levels translates to 1 Appraisal Level. For example, reaching Hunter Level 10 gives you Appraisal Level 1, Hunter Level 20 gives Appraisal Level 2, and so on. Appraisal Level acts as a broader milestone marker, and certain systems or rewards reference it instead of the raw Hunter Level number.

This conversion keeps the numbering simple at a glance. When someone mentions their Appraisal Level, you can quickly estimate their Hunter Level by multiplying by 10.

Content Gating

Several types of content gate behind specific Hunter Level requirements. Main story chapters are the most notable example, but combat system modes and certain NPC interactions may also check your level before granting access. If a quest or activity tells you the requirement is not met, it almost always means you need more Hunter Level from daily tasks.

This gating can feel restrictive for players who want to rush the story, but it serves to ensure you have enough gameplay experience and resources before tackling harder content. Treating daily tasks as non-negotiable keeps your Hunter Level growing at a steady pace and prevents extended lockouts.

Relationship to Other Progression

Hunter Level is separate from but parallel to other progression systems. Character leveling tracks individual Esper power. Equipment enhancement improves gear. City Tycoon progression tracks your urban development. Hunter Level ties all of these together by determining what you can access at any given point. Think of it as the master key: without the right Hunter Level, other systems may remain partially locked.

Tips

• Complete daily tasks every day without exception. Skipping even a few days can create a noticeable gap in Hunter Level progression.

• If a main quest locks you out, check your dailies for uncompleted tasks rather than looking for alternative ways to progress.

• Use the Appraisal Level conversion (Hunter Level divided by 10) as a quick reference when comparing progress with friends.

• For a structured approach to daily progression, follow the beginners guide which outlines priority tasks for new players.
