Revision 8

Overview

This guide provides a comprehensive daily and weekly play checklist for Neverness to Everness. Following a structured routine is important because many of the game's progression rewards are time-gated. Completing your tasks each day ensures steady Hunter Level growth, maximizes Fons income, and prevents you from falling behind on content that cannot be recovered once missed.

Daily tasks are the primary method for raising your Hunter Level, which is the account-wide progression metric that governs access to story quests, combat modes, and system unlocks across Hethereau. For every 10 Hunter Levels you reach, you gain 1 Appraisal Level. Skipping daily tasks for even a few days can create a noticeable gap between your current Hunter Level and the requirements for the next story chapter.

The routine below is designed to be efficient. The full daily checklist takes about 5 to 10 focused minutes for the time-gated rewards alone, with another 30 to 45 minutes if you also want to spend all of your Character Pixels on farming domains. Weekly tasks add roughly another hour spread across the week, with the largest single chunk on the Monday reset.

Daily Missions

Daily missions are the single most important task on your checklist. They reset every day, take about 5 to 10 minutes total, and award 1,500 Hunter Level EXP alongside Annulith, Fons, and upgrade materials. Because these rewards cannot be recovered if missed, you should always complete daily missions first before moving to other activities.

The standard daily task list is built from small, low-effort objectives that you can finish almost anywhere. Most of them complete naturally during normal play, so you rarely have to go out of your way.

Standard Daily Task List

If you find yourself a few hundred EXP short of unlocking the next main story gate, the simplest path forward is usually to wait one more day for the daily reset rather than burning premium currency on stamina refreshes.

Bond and Affinity Items

On a daily basis you can give affinity items to your favorite units up to 10 times. The affinity system raises each character's bond level, which unlocks Annulith payouts, voice lines, frames, and outfit unlocks. Stack the daily 10 gifts onto the same rotation of units instead of spreading them thin, since bond rewards are per-character.

Each unit has a list of favorite items. Gifting an item from that list grants a bonus to bond points, so check the favorites tag in the bond menu before handing things over.

Recommended Bond Targets

Neku Pudao Pool

The Neku Pudao Pool is a daily wish at the cat shrine. Each wish returns currency that can be exchanged in the arc shop for an S-rank arc, plus free figurines, character costumes, and other supporting resources. Make the wish every single day until you have claimed the free S-rank arc, since the cost-to-reward ratio is one of the best free dailies in the game.

Pair the daily wish with the S-Rank Selector Guide so you know which arc to redeem when you finally have enough wish currency to spend.

Phone Booth Sweeps

Every undiscovered phone booth on the Hethereau map awards 50 Hunter Level EXP the first time you tap it. Phone booths are scattered across every neighborhood, and unlocking a new one only takes about a minute on foot. The booths are cheap, plentiful, and never expire, so claim every booth you walk past during your daily exploration. Over the first two weeks, mopping up booths can make the difference between unlocking the next Hunter Level wall on schedule or waiting an extra day for the daily reset.

Side Quests

Side quests are marked on the map with a blue exclamation icon. They award Hunter Level EXP, Annulith, Fons, and frequently a unique reward like a furniture piece or cafe ingredient. Treat side quests as supplementary leveling: clear them whenever you cross one, especially during early-game progression where Hunter Level walls are tightest.

Some side quests are tied to the City Tycoon system or the cafe management progression line, so finishing them also unlocks downstream content. The exploration guide in the activities tab lists which quests still need to be cleared in each district.

City Commissions

Commissions are repeatable side tasks available from NPCs throughout the city. They serve double duty: they grant supplementary currency, character experience, and upgrade materials, while also building your relationship with individual NPCs.

• Commissions consume one of the game's two energy types (the secondary pool, separate from Character Pixels). Plan your energy spending so you can complete a full round of commissions each day.

• Commission types include delivery runs, investigation assignments, and other city-based errands. The tasks rotate, so the available commissions change regularly.

• Building NPC affinity through commissions can unlock dialogue options, story side content, and material rewards that are otherwise inaccessible.

• Commissions also contribute to Hunter Level experience, making them one of the most efficient daily activities for overall account progression.

Domain Farming and Character Pixel Spending

Domains are repeatable combat instances where you earn gear and upgrade materials. They are one of the main ways to strengthen your roster and should be a regular part of your daily routine. Spending all available Character Pixels before logging off ensures the resource never sits at cap and goes to waste.

• Domains drop KongMu equipment pieces (disks and drive blocks), character ascension materials, and Lost Pieces.

• Each domain run costs Character Pixels, the game's primary stamina resource. Spending 40 Character Pixels on a Hunter Level domain returns roughly 200 Hunter Level EXP plus the standard drop pool.

• Focus on character EXP and ability upgrade materials early. Defer module and console farming until later, since those drop pools have noticeably better loot tables at higher difficulty unlocks.

• Higher difficulty tiers drop better rewards. Push the highest difficulty your team can comfortably clear for the most efficient use of stamina.

If your Character Pixel pool is about to cap (typically 240), spend it before any side activity. The pool keeps generating while it is below cap but caps out flat once full, which is wasted regen.

Stamina and Energy Management

Neverness to Everness uses three separate resource pools that control how much repeatable content you can complete each day or week. Managing all three pools is essential to getting the most out of your routine.

Character Pixels

Character Pixels are the primary stamina resource. They are consumed by equipment domains, anomaly containment missions, and other repeatable farming activities. Character Pixels recharge passively over time and can also be refreshed with premium currency. Visit the stamina system page for exact recharge rates and refresh caps.

Commission Energy

The commission energy pool fuels city commissions and certain side activities. Like Character Pixels, this pool regenerates continuously rather than resetting on a hard daily timer. Both resources tick upward at a steady rate until they hit their respective caps, which means you can log in at any time of day and spend what has accumulated without losing progress.

City Stamina

Unlike the two pools above, City Stamina resets weekly rather than continuously regenerating. The cap is tied to your City Tycoon level, and once it is spent it is gone for the week. Always finish your weekly City Stamina dump before the Monday 05:00 reset.

Because daily missions do not consume any of these pools, always complete missions first. Reserve your Character Pixels for domain farming, your commission energy for city commissions afterward, and your weekly City Stamina for Hethereau Hobbies. This order ensures the most time-sensitive rewards are secured before spending limited resources on repeatable content.

Event Tasks

Limited-time events run alongside your regular daily activities and come with their own separate task lists. Event rewards are often among the most valuable in the game, including exclusive materials, currency, and sometimes cosmetic items that disappear when the event period ends.

• Check the event tab daily. New event stages or tasks may unlock as the event progresses.

• Complete event tasks before they expire. Unlike daily missions, which repeat indefinitely, event content has a fixed end date.

• Some events require specific activities like participating in co-op content, completing certain commissions, or clearing event-exclusive combat encounters.

Exploration

After finishing structured tasks, spend your remaining playtime exploring Hethereau and the surrounding areas. The open world is packed with content that does not appear on the mission board.

• Hidden chests, anomaly encounters, collectibles, and discovery milestones all provide Annulith and other resources.

• Environmental puzzles and side stories are scattered across the map. Some require specific abilities or approaches to solve.

• Open the map and look for undiscovered icons in areas you have not fully explored. Completing all discoveries in a region often unlocks a regional completion bonus.

• Anomaly encounters are random world events that appear while you traverse the city. They offer valuable drops and combat experience.

Team Management

Before logging off, take a few minutes to handle team upkeep. Small improvements compound over time and keep your team ready for the next day's content.

• Enhance newly acquired KongMu equipment if it represents an upgrade over your current pieces.

• Level up Espers with any experience materials you have accumulated.

• Review your Arc loadouts and swap in better weapons as they become available.

• Claim any completed achievement rewards from the achievements menu. These are easy to overlook but provide free resources.

Recommended Daily Order

Following a consistent order each day prevents you from forgetting any time-gated reward. The sequence below opens with no-cost claims, moves through the time-gated daily set, and finishes with stamina spends so the regenerating pools have the longest possible window to refill while you are away.

Weekly Activities

The weekly reset arrives on Monday at 05:00 server time. Weekly content awards the largest single batch of Fons, support skill materials, and high-tier upgrade resources in the game, so plan to spend an extended session on Monday or Tuesday to clear the queue while the rewards are fresh.

Blind Marmon Furniture Fight

The Blind Marmon furniture sits in your first apartment at the Banyan Road North Wertheimer building, unlocked alongside the City Tycoon system. Once you have the apartment, the Blind Marmon becomes a weekly boss challenge that takes well under two minutes per attempt and pays out a large lump sum of Fons scaled to your Marmon level.

• The fight resets every Monday at 05:00 alongside the rest of the weekly reset cycle.

• Higher Marmon levels increase the Fons payout. Levels are upgraded by spending Covetous Coins purchased from the Auction Hall.

• Co-op friendly: if a friend has a higher-level Marmon than yours, you can challenge their version through the friend list, which is a quick way to claim a bigger reward before your own Marmon catches up.

Auction Hall

The Auction Hall unlocks after clearing the The Never-Ending Arachne main story quest. It sits inside the cafe on the ground floor of the Eibon Antique Shop district. Auctions reset weekly and rotate three main lots:

Auctions are partly RNG: the rotation may surface two stacks of one lot or skip a lot entirely. Buy whatever upgrade material is on offer that week and accept that some weeks will be slow.

Anomaly Pilgrimage

The Anomaly Pilgrimage caps at three completions per week. Each run consumes Character Pixels and drops Good Boy Stamps and Dress Sleeves of Vanity, the two main support skill upgrade materials. Always clear the full three runs each week regardless of your level, since this is the only renewable source for those materials.

Weekly Boss: Morphix

The Morphix weekly boss caps at three clears per week. Each attempt costs roughly 60 Character Pixels and rewards material drops required for upgrading character support skills. Skipping a week means a meaningful setback for any character whose support skill is mid-upgrade, so prioritize this immediately after the reset while your stamina is full.

City Stamina Dump

Spend every point of weekly City Stamina before the Monday reset. Each stamina point converts to 1,000 Fons regardless of which Hethereau Hobbies activity you pick. The cap scales with your City Tycoon level, and at higher tycoon levels you can also unlock a 2x option that doubles both the cost and the reward of each activity in the same time window.

Pink Paws Bank Heist

The Pink Paws Heist runs on a biweekly cycle, not a weekly one. The Fons cap per cycle is 1,000,000 (one million) Fons. The heist unlocks at City Tycoon level 10 and is accessed by talking to Chiz inside the Pink Paw's Bank HQ tower. Bring friends to the heist whenever possible because more participants means more vault collection per run.

Weekly Checklist

Recommended Monday Reset Order

On Monday morning, run the weekly checklist in this exact order. The opening sequence locks in the highest-value low-effort rewards before your Character Pixel pool is committed elsewhere, and finishes with the City Stamina dump that scales with how much spare time you have.

Cafe Optimization

The cafe is a daily passive Fons engine, and a few small management choices change how much it pays out. The cafe unlocks at City Tycoon level 4 (the first cafe purchase costs 20,000 Fons), and each cafe slot lets you assign two employees. See the Business Management article for the full management menu walkthrough.

Restock Timer Strategy

Always restock with the delivery option rather than running around the city to ingredient shops. The delivery fee is small relative to the time saved, and it scales with the recipe quality you have unlocked.

Best Level 3 Cafe Employees

Employee skills only matter once they are upgraded to level 3, which unlocks their special effect. Level 4 and 5 are far more expensive and generally not worth the cost during early and mid game. The three strongest level 3 employee picks are:

Upgrading employee skills consumes a special management currency. Two reliable sources for that currency:

• Furniture collection: every time you collect a furniture piece in your apartment property menu, you can press the collect button to claim management currency.

• Property renovation guide: progressing renovation milestones in your apartment also rewards management currency.

Cafe Item Updates

Newer cafe recipes always sell for more Fons than older ones. Whenever the management menu unlocks a higher-tier recipe, switch the cafe over immediately. Sticking with a stale recipe is one of the most common ways to slowly bleed Fons income.

Cafe leveling is driven entirely by collecting earnings: 3,000 Fons collected returns roughly 3,000 cafe XP. Logging in to claim earnings during active play slowly raises the cafe's level, which in turn raises the income cap.

Endgame Weekly Content

As you reach higher Hunter Levels, endgame weeklies expand to include High-Risk Commissions, Anomaly Commissions, Circle Bounty encounters, and Anomaly Dungeon clears. These reward higher-tier materials and gear but demand well-built teams.
