Editorial Note: The drop rates, pity thresholds, and gacha mechanics outlined in this guide are based on community-reported data available as of May 7, 2026, combined with our team’s hands-on gameplay experience since launch. While we have cross-referenced multiple sources to ensure accuracy, exact drop rates may fluctuate between sessions, banner rotations, or following future game updates. We recommend treating all percentage figures as strong approximations rather than guaranteed outcomes. This guide will update as new verified information becomes available.
Neverness to Everness launched on April 29, 2026 across PC, Android, iOS, and PS5, and its gacha system is already one of the most discussed features in the community. Unlike most gacha games, NTE replaces standard pull animations with an interactive board game system called Scarborough Fair, and its pity mechanics are genuinely among the most player-friendly in the genre. If you have been spending pulls on a banner without getting the featured character and are worried about losing that progress, this guide has everything you need to know before your next pull session, including exactly what carries over, what resets, how Board Modification works, and how to plan your resources across multiple banners.
NTE Pity Carry Over Overview
| Pity Type | Carries Over? | Key Detail |
| Limited Board Character Pity | Yes | Transfers between all Limited Boards |
| Standard Board Character Pity | Yes | Single permanent counter, never resets |
| Arc Research Program (Weapon) Pity | Yes | Carries over between all weapon banner rotations |
| Limited Board Cosmetic Milestones | No (with exception) | Does not transfer between different banners, but saves for that specific banner’s rerun |
| Standard Board Beginner Discount | No | One-time bonus, expires after 50 pulls |
| Standard Board Beginner S-Class Selector | Yes | Never expires, claim at any time |
How the NTE Gacha System Works
NTE’s gacha system is called Scarborough Fair, and it works very differently from standard gacha games. Rather than watching a simple pull animation, you roll dice and move a game piece called a Chuppa across a board. Whatever tile your piece lands on becomes your reward.
Each dice roll moves your piece between one and six tiles forward, and every tile on the board has a defined reward type. One pull costs 160 Annulith, making a 10-pull equivalent to 1,600 Annulith.
There are two separate banner types in NTE:
- Limited Board: Features time-limited characters, lasts 14 days per rotation, and uses Solid Dice
- Standard Board: Permanent banner with ongoing characters, uses Fabricated Dice
Both boards follow the same core rates and pity mechanics.
Board Tile Types Explained
Since NTE’s gacha is board-based rather than animation-based, understanding what each tile does is essential for knowing what you are getting from each roll.
| Tile | Landing Chance | Effect |
| Apprentice Chest (Purple) | 45.93% | 0.2% chance for S-Class character, 99.8% chance for B-Class Arc |
| Hero Chest (Gold) | 20.07% | 3% chance for S-Class character, 97% chance for B-Class Arc, plus 2 bonus Warp Pieces guaranteed |
| Journey Together | 10.86% | Guarantees the specific character shown on the tile, no further RNG involved. These tiles increase significantly after Board Modification triggers at 70 pulls |
| Arc Light Mystery Box | 3.31% | Awards one random A-Class Arc from the current banner pool |
| Warp Pieces Box | 2.37% | Directly grants Warp Pieces currency, some tiles award up to 50 pieces |
| Lost Pieces Box | 15.47% | Directly grants Lost Pieces currency |
| Roll Again | 1.57% | Awards one free dice roll immediately |
| Slumberland (Guardian Tile) | 3.15% | Spawns a Guardian NPC called Nacupeda 9 tiles ahead. You get 3 dice rolls to catch it, but it moves 2 tiles forward after each of your rolls. Successfully catching it rewards 30 Warp Pieces |
| S-Class Card Tile | Varies | Guarantees the featured S-Class character directly |
The Secret Fair is a special golden section of the board accessible through specific entry tiles marked with a yellow arrow. This bonus area contains fewer tiles overall but features far higher-quality rewards, including a Multiple Surprises tile granting 5 free dice, limited character cosmetics, vehicle skin tiles, and S-Class character tiles. The board visibly transforms when you enter the Secret Fair, making it one of the most exciting moments in any pulling session.
NTE Gacha Drop Rates
| Item | Drop Rate |
| S-Class Character (base rate per roll) | 0.99% |
| S-Class Character (overall including guarantees, Limited) | ~1.87% |
| S-Class Character (with Board Modification active) | 19.59% |
| A-Class Character | 11.67% |
| A-Class Arc | 11.31% |
| B-Class Arc | 65.33% |
| S-Class Arc (Weapon Banner base) | 3% |
| S-Class Arc Rate-Up (Weapon Banner) | 1.68% |
Key point: The 0.99% figure is the pure base roll rate per tile. The commonly cited 1.87% reflects the overall effective rate across the full board when factoring in guarantees and tile distribution. Both figures are accurate in different contexts.
Unlike many gacha games, NTE has no 50/50 system on the Limited Board. Any S-Class character you pull from a Limited Board is guaranteed to be the featured character, with no chance of losing out to a random standard unit. This makes NTE significantly more generous than games like Genshin Impact or Honkai: Star Rail.
How Pity Works in NTE
Character Pity (Limited and Standard Boards)
NTE’s hard pity sits at 90 pulls, at which point the featured S-Class character is guaranteed. However, most players will not need to reach 90 because of a mechanic called Board Modification.
At 70 pulls without obtaining an S-Class character, Board Modification triggers automatically. This does not gradually increase rates the way soft pity works in other games. Instead, it applies a full and immediate rate jump, raising the S-Class drop rate from 0.99% to 19.59% in one go. The board also visually transforms at this point, and the number of Journey Together tiles (which guarantee the featured character on landing) increases significantly across the board. In practice, most players secure the featured character somewhere between pulls 70 and 90.
Key points about Board Modification:
- Triggers at 70 pulls without an S-Class character
- Applies the full rate increase immediately, not gradually
- Visibly changes the board layout with more guaranteed character tiles
- Resets once you pull an S-Class character
A-Class Pity
A-Class pity triggers every 10 pulls, guaranteeing one A-Class character or A-Class Arc in addition to your 10 standard rewards. A 10-pull technically gives you 11 rewards in total.
Does Pity Carry Over Between Banners?
Yes, and this is one of NTE’s strongest selling points for free-to-play players.
Limited Board character pity carries over between every Limited Board. If you reach 65 pulls on one Limited Board without getting an S-Class character, your next Limited Board begins at 65/90. Board Modification will trigger after just five more pulls on the new banner.
Weapon Banner Pity (Arc Research Program)
The Arc Research Program is NTE’s weapon banner, accessible from the Arc Selection section in the Arc Shop inside the Mall. It uses Tri-Keys as currency, with each 10-pull costing 10 Tri-Keys. Single pulls are not available on the weapon banner. The pity structure works as follows:
- S-Class Arc guaranteed within 6 multi-pulls (60 pulls)
- Featured S-Class Arc guaranteed within 8 multi-pulls (80 pulls)
- Weapon banner pity carries over between all Arc Research Program rotations
Tri-Keys are obtainable through events, the Hunter Exchange shop, and level-up rewards, so most players can access the weapon banner as a free-to-play resource.
Cosmetic Milestones: The One Exception
Each Limited Board offers three exclusive cosmetics tied to specific pull milestones:
| Milestone | Reward |
| 50 pulls | Glider skin |
| 120 pulls | Vehicle skin |
| 200 pulls | Character outfit |
All three cosmetics can also drop early from specific board tiles at a 0.33% base rate, which increases to 0.68% once pity is active. The cosmetic counter is completely separate from character pity and does not affect or interact with your S-Class guarantee in any way.
Cosmetic milestones do not carry over between different character banners. However, they save for that specific banner’s rerun, so if you reach 180 pulls on a banner without hitting the 200-pull outfit, that progress will still be at 180/200 when the same banner returns.
Key point: Cosmetics are entirely optional and have no gameplay impact, so free-to-play players can safely ignore the cosmetic milestone system and focus all resources on character acquisition.
Duplicate S-Class Characters: What Happens?
Pulling a duplicate S-Class character you already own converts it into Warp Pieces, which you can spend in the Warp Shop on various items including dice and character copies.
| Duplicate | Warp Pieces Earned |
| S-Class character (2nd to 7th copy) | 40 Warp Pieces |
| S-Class character (8th copy onward) | 80 Warp Pieces |
| A-Class character duplicate | 6 Warp Pieces (12 from the 8th copy onward) |
| A-Class Arc duplicate | 4 Warp Pieces |
| B-Class Arc duplicate | 20 Lost Pieces |
Key point: The most valuable monthly purchase using these currencies is the free pull bundle available through Lost Pieces: 5 Solid Dice, 5 Fabricated Dice, and 20 Tri-Keys cost a combined 2,100 Lost Pieces per month. This functions similarly to a monthly card in other gacha games and should be your first shop priority every month.
Standard Board: Beginner Bonuses Worth Knowing
The Standard Board offers two bonuses for newer players:
Beginner Discount: Your first five 10-pulls on the Standard Board cost 8 Fabricated Dice instead of 10, a 20% discount. This applies to multi-pulls only and expires after 50 total pulls.
Free S-Class Character Selector: After completing 50 pulls on the Standard Board, you unlock the ability to choose one free S-Class character from the six available standard options: Sakiri, Daffodil, Baicang, Jiuyuan, Fadia, and Hathor. This reward never expires, so you can wait until you know which character you are missing before claiming it.
Free Pulls and Launch Rewards for New Players
NTE launched with generous rewards for new players that are worth knowing about:
- Free character Haniel is available through early progression rewards
- Annulith and Solid Dice are distributed through events, exploration milestones, quests, and daily activities
- The Standard Board beginner selector gives every new player a guaranteed S-Class character after 50 pulls at no additional cost
The best free sources of Annulith for ongoing pull farming include open-world exploration, daily and weekly quests, event rewards, and achievement completions.
NTE Gacha Currency Overview
| Currency | Used For |
| Solid Dice | Limited Board pulls |
| Fabricated Dice | Standard Board pulls |
| Tri-Key | Weapon Banner (Arc Research Program) pulls only |
| Annulith | Universal premium currency, 160 Annulith equals one pull on any banner |
| Warp Pieces | Warp Shop exchanges for dice, characters, and items |
| Lost Pieces | Lost Shop exchanges including monthly free pull bundle |
Note on special banner dice: Some banners include temporary special dice that are specifically tied to that banner’s rotation. These dice disappear once the banner ends, so always spend banner-specific dice before the Limited Board closes.
Is NTE Worth Rerolling?
NTE is actually one of the stronger cases for rerolling among recent gacha releases. The beginner S-Class selector after 50 Standard Board pulls means every account is guaranteed one free S-Class standard character. Combined with the pity carryover system, a good reroll start can position a new account very well without requiring significant investment.
Key Takeaways for Planning Your Pulls
- Never pull to exactly pity on a Limited Board if a character you want is on the next banner. Your pity carries over, so saving those remaining pulls for the next banner is always smarter.
- Stack your pity across banners over time since every pull on a Limited Board counts toward a guaranteed S-Class character regardless of which banner is active.
- Weapon pity carries over too, so there is no pressure to guarantee a featured Arc on any single rotation.
- Prioritise the Standard Board beginner bonus early on to secure your free S-Class character selector before spending Annulith on Limited banners.
- Spend your Lost Pieces on the monthly pull bundle every single month without fail, as it is the best ongoing free pull source in the game.
- Save Annulith for Limited Boards rather than spending it on Standard Boards, since Limited characters are time-exclusive while Standard characters remain available permanently.
