If you’re just starting out in Neverness to Everness, your eyes will be wide open. There are “Solid Bones,” “Tri-Keys,” and some “Distortion Fragments”—from the very first minute, the game throws out jargon as if you’re taking an exam on the economics of a fictional world. Don’t worry: it’s not as scary as it seems. The main thing is to immediately understand what to spend where, otherwise, progress will stall.
We’ve gotten through this confusion and now I’ll tell you why every bit of local currency is important. Some resources are easy to farm, while others are in real short supply. And if you waste them on trivial things, you’ll regret it later.

Neverness to Everness Currency Guide and Farming Methods
The game has a veritable zoo of payment methods. They can be roughly divided into three groups: premium currency for spins, banner dice, and resources for progress/upgrades. Below, we’ll go over each type, with explanations of where to get them and what to spend them on.
Anulite is the main premium currency. Not to be confused with donation crystals, although they are interchangeable. Anulite is earned through quests, world exploration, achievements, events, dailies, and even mail rewards. Its gimmick: you exchange Anulite for any banner “bones”—you convert them to the one you want to use.
Rift Crystals are a direct donation currency. Purchased with real money, they convert to Anulite 1:1. There are no bonuses—it’s just a way to quickly get premium items if you’re too lazy to farm.
Now about the “bones,” or banner currencies.
How do you get Solid and Fake Bones in NTE?
Solid Bones are needed for limited-time event characters. When a new top hero is released, they are the only ones you can use. They are obtained through purchases with Anulite, events, daily bonuses, and Battle Pass rewards. Tip: save these for big releases—standard characters won’t disappear.
Fake Bones (sometimes called Trick Bones) are the equivalent of a standard banner. They contain permanent characters and items that don’t disappear. You can get them from newbie rewards, events, stores, and even the Battle Pass. They’re essentially “second-class bones,” but they’re perfect for initial leveling.
The weapon banner stands out.
Where can I get Tri-Keys for S-Class weapons in the Ark Shop?
Tri-Keys are the currency for the “Ark Research Program,” meaning banners for weapons and equipment. They’re valuable because they allow you to trade 25 Tri-Keys in the Ark Shop for a specific S-Class Ark. There’s no randomization. They’re obtained from events, premium rewards, exchange shops, and the Annulite exchange.
Now, about what you get for replays.
A Distortion Fragment is awarded when you get an existing character or a replay of an Ark. You can also get one at the Scarborough Fair. These fragments can then be exchanged for items or even directly for specific heroes from the standard banner. It’s not the most obvious currency, but it’s very useful for collectors.
A Lost Fragment is also a reward for replays and summons, but it’s used differently. It’s spent on upgrade materials and progress items. Plus, you can use them to purchase a limited number of “spins” in the store each month, so don’t ignore them.
And finally, there are two currencies for everyday progress, without any gacha.
Bug Coins are earned through quests, dailies, events, the Battle Pass, and simply progressing through the story. They are not used for banners. Spend them in periodic shops on materials and “Tycoin” upgrades (the local economic minigame, if I understand correctly).
Fons are the most basic in-game currency. Drops from missions, world exploration, battles, selling junk, and hobbies in Hetera. They are used for character upgrades, crafting, and other everyday needs. There are always plenty of them, but the expense is huge, especially for leveling up.
How much Annulite and spins does an F2P player farm per month?
In patch 1.0 of the gacha action game NTE, loot boxes are pouring in generously—at the start, F2P players are easily snagging 470+ free spins. We’ll explain where to find currency and how to wisely manage your initial capital. The core cog of the local economy is called Annulite.
This is the resource you’ll convert into coveted rolls: Solid Dice, Fabricated Dice, and Tri-Key. Events, the storyline, and map completion steadily add to the pile. However, the foundation isn’t built on initial handouts. A steady influx of loot is provided by dailies, the basic Battle Pass free track, and the monthly Lost Piece exchange. The actual total profit over thirty days always outweighs the dry numbers in the menu.
Resource Sources & Rewards
Spending Fons and Rift Crystals without unnecessary expenses
Regular gold is tricky. Basic Fons accumulate instantly, but character leveling and crafting eat them up completely. Wealthy gamers sign up for the paid Riftcrystal mining pass for 30,000 per day (that’s 900,000 per month). A donation Battle Pass will add another 700,000 or so. True F2P numbers like that are unattainable. Learn to economize.
NTE Banner Rollover Strategy Without a 50/50 System
The biggest beginner mistake is wasting Annulite on every banner in sight. Stop! NTE has a fantastic system: limited banners guarantee S-class without the 50/50 tier. Plus, the pity counter carries over to future events without penalties. The optimal strategy? Save your entire budget for a specific carry (for example, picking up Daffodil for concentrated damage in short windows) and pour it all into one priority pool. Wasting currency on Standard out of pure curiosity is a surefire way to ruin your account.
