▍How to Use NTE Materials

Character

In the urban supernatural world of Neverness to Everness (NTE), character progression is essential for tackling high-level anomalies and exploring Hethereau. To increase your team's power, you must primarily focus on Character Leveling and Breakthrough. By utilizing Lost Pieces and specific EXP materials obtained from daily instances, you can raise a character’s base stats. Once a character reaches their level cap, you must perform a Breakthrough using boss drops and regional materials to unlock higher level ceilings and further stat bonuses, ensuring your team remains competitive in combat.

Arc (weapon)

The Arc (weapon) system is another critical component of your combat efficacy. Arcs can be leveled up using specialized enhancement materials to boost their primary attributes, such as ATK or CRT. To maximize an Arc's potential, you can perform Arc Refinement by consuming duplicate Arcs or specific refinement items, which significantly improves the Arc's unique passive effects. Managing your Tri-Keys to pull for high-tier S-Rank Arcs is vital, as a well-optimized Arc can provide the synergy needed to trigger powerful character combos and elemental reactions.

Skills and Talents

advancing a character’s Skills and Talents is the key to unlocking their full mechanical potential. Upgrading Combat Skills—which include Basic Attacks, Skills, and Ultimates—requires specific skill materials typically farmed from designated "Rabbit Hole" instances. Beyond raw damage, you should focus on Talents to unlock Passive Skills and unique "Special Mechanics" that can alter a character's playstyle, such as reducing cooldowns or providing team-wide buffs. This layered development ensures that your characters not only deal more damage but also operate more efficiently within your team composition.

Professional tip: Character development provides a return on Pull Resources. Therefore, once your main team is sufficiently developed, you can level up low-tier characters to obtain additional pulls.

▍How to Farm NTE Materials

You can farm character weapon EXP, character development EXP, and character skill and talent materials in the following instances.
