NTE Currency Guide: Annulith, Solid Dice, Fabricated Dice & Tri-Keys Explained

Neverness to Everness launches on April 29, 2026, and if you have played any gacha RPG before — Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Wuthering Waves — you already know the drill. There are multiple currencies, they overlap in confusing ways, and spending the wrong one at the wrong time can set you back weeks. This guide breaks down every currency in NTE so you walk into launch day knowing exactly what to save, what to spend, and what to ignore.

The Pull Currencies

NTE has four primary currencies tied to its gacha system. Each one serves a different purpose, and mixing them up — or wasting the wrong one — is the fastest way to fall behind as a free-to-play player. Here is what you need to know about each.

Annulith — The Premium Currency

Annulith is the backbone of the entire economy. Think of it as NTE's equivalent to Primogems in Genshin Impact, Stellar Jade in Honkai Star Rail, or Astrite in Wuthering Waves. You earn Annulith through nearly every activity in the game — daily missions, story content, achievements, events — and you can also purchase it directly with real money.

Annulith is not used to pull directly. Instead, you convert it into Solid Dice at a fixed exchange rate. This extra conversion step exists so the game can hand out Solid Dice as standalone rewards without devaluing the premium currency. Keep that distinction clear in your head: Annulith is what you farm and accumulate. Solid Dice is what you actually spend on banners.

Solid Dice — Limited Banner Pulls

Solid Dice are the actual pull currency for limited character banners, known in NTE as the Scarborough Fair banner. Every time a new S-rank character launches with a rate-up, you spend Solid Dice to pull on their banner.

You get Solid Dice in two ways: converting Annulith (160 Annulith = 1 Solid Dice), or receiving them directly as event and milestone rewards. There is no other source. You cannot farm Solid Dice through repeatable gameplay — every single one traces back to Annulith or a one-time reward.

This means your Solid Dice count is effectively your Annulith count divided by 160. When you are planning pulls, always think in terms of total Annulith rather than Solid Dice on hand.

Fabricated Dice — Standard Banner Pulls

Fabricated Dice are used exclusively for the standard/permanent banner. This banner features the launch roster of S-rank characters and Arcs that are not on a limited rate-up.

The critical thing to understand about Fabricated Dice: they cannot be used on limited banners. They are a completely separate currency track. You earn them through daily activities, battle pass progression, and various gameplay systems.

Because Fabricated Dice have no alternative use and cannot be saved for limited banners, there is no reason to hoard them. Use your Fabricated Dice as soon as you have them. Every pull on the standard banner builds pity toward a guaranteed S-rank, and you might pick up valuable A-rank characters or Arcs along the way. Sitting on a stack of Fabricated Dice gains you nothing.

Tri-Keys — The Arc (Weapon) Shop Currency

Tri-Keys are a specialized currency used in the Arc Shop to purchase weapons (called Arcs in NTE). You earn Tri-Keys through specific game modes — endgame challenges, weekly boss clears, and certain event milestones.

Tri-Keys operate outside the gacha system entirely. You are not pulling randomly with them; you are buying specific Arcs from a rotating shop inventory. This makes Tri-Keys one of the most reliable ways for F2P players to gear up their characters without touching the weapon banner.

Conversion Rates

Here is the math you need to plan your pulls. Memorize the core conversion — 160 Annulith = 1 Solid Dice — and everything else follows.

• 160 Annulith = 1 Solid Dice
• 1 pull on the limited banner = 1 Solid Dice
• 1 pull on the standard banner = 1 Fabricated Dice (or 160 Annulith if purchasing from the standard banner shop)
• 90 pulls to reach hard pity = 14,400 Annulith

For quick reference, here is the full conversion table:

| Item | Cost | Notes | |---|---|---| | 1 Solid Dice | 160 Annulith | Limited banner pulls | | 10-pull | 1,600 Annulith | Standard 10-pull | | Character pity (90) | 14,400 Annulith | Worst case guarantee | | Glider skin pity (50) | 8,000 Annulith | If pulling for skin |

Keep in mind that 90 pulls is the absolute worst-case scenario. Soft pity kicks in well before that — most players will land their S-rank between 75 and 85 pulls. But you should always budget for 90 so you are never caught short.

Warp Pieces — The Duplicate Currency

When you pull a character you already own, the game does not just waste your pull. Instead, you receive Warp Pieces — a consolation currency that converts duplicates into tangible value.

The amount of Warp Pieces you receive depends on the rarity of the duplicate:

• S-rank duplicate: grants a large amount of Warp Pieces. These add up quickly if you are pulling on a banner where you already own the rate-up character.
• A-rank duplicate: grants a smaller amount of Warp Pieces. Since A-rank characters appear frequently, these accumulate steadily over time.

You can exchange Warp Pieces in the shop for:

• Character upgrade materials — useful but replaceable through farming
• Specific characters from the standard pool — this is where the real value lives
• Other resources — resin-equivalent refills, talent materials, and similar items

The smart play is to save your Warp Pieces for standard pool characters you actually need rather than burning them on upgrade materials you can farm elsewhere. If there is a standard S-rank character that fits your team but you have not pulled them naturally, the Warp Piece shop is your best path to getting them without relying on luck.

F2P Annulith Sources

Free-to-play income in NTE comes from a variety of recurring and one-time sources. Here is what you can expect:

• Daily commissions/missions: roughly 60 Annulith per day — this is your bread and butter, and you should never skip a day
• Weekly bounties and content: approximately 300-400 Annulith per week from weekly bosses, bounties, and rotating challenges
• Story chapter completion: varies by chapter, but the first playthrough of the main story gives significant one-time Annulith rewards — expect several thousand across all chapters
• Achievement system: thousands of one-time Annulith are buried in the achievement tracker, rewarding exploration, combat milestones, and collection goals
• Events: major limited-time events give 500-1,500 Annulith each, depending on scope and duration
• Spiral/endgame content: recurring Annulith each reset cycle from the endgame challenge modes — this scales with how far you can clear

Estimated monthly F2P income: approximately 8,000-10,000 Annulith, which translates to roughly 50-62 pulls per month. That means a fully free-to-play player can hit pity on a limited banner roughly every six to eight weeks, assuming they start from zero. If you are strategic about which banners to skip, you can guarantee every other limited character without spending a dime.

Should You Pull on the Arc (Weapon) Banner?

Short answer: usually no, especially if you are F2P.

Here is why. Most S-Class Arcs are obtainable through the Arc Shop using Tri-Keys, or through specific gameplay modes and event rewards. You do not need to gamble on the weapon banner to get functional gear for your characters.

More importantly, the weapon banner pity is separate from the character banner pity, and it also uses Solid Dice — meaning every pull on the weapon banner is a pull you are not making toward your next limited character. For F2P players, that tradeoff is almost never worth it.

When is it worth pulling on the weapon banner? If you are a spender and you want to maximize a specific character's power ceiling, the signature Arc (the weapon designed specifically for that character) provides roughly a 20-30% damage increase over the best free alternatives. That is a meaningful upgrade, but it is a luxury, not a necessity.

The F2P priority is simple and absolute: Characters first, Arcs second. Always.

Your Tri-Keys and gameplay-earned Arcs will carry you through all content in the game. Save your Solid Dice for characters.

Launch Day Free Pulls

NTE is launching with a generous first-week experience. Here is a breakdown of the free pulls you can expect by playing actively during launch week:

• Pre-registration rewards (25M milestone): approximately 20 Solid Dice equivalent — these should arrive in your mailbox on day one
• Tutorial completion bonus: 10 Solid Dice handed to you as you finish the introductory chapters
• Main story chapters 1-3 completion: roughly 15-20 Solid Dice worth of Annulith — prioritize progressing the story early
• Launch celebration login events: approximately 10-15 Solid Dice spread across daily login rewards during the first two weeks
• First-week launch events: an additional 15-20 Solid Dice from limited-time launch celebration activities
• Standard banner discounted pulls: 50 pulls at reduced cost using Fabricated Dice — take advantage of this immediately since the discount is time-limited

Total estimated: 80-90 free pulls in the first week. That is enough to hit soft pity on the first limited banner and still have pulls left over for the standard banner. If you plan your rerolls wisely and stack these rewards, you can walk into the second week of NTE with a strong S-rank character and a solid foundation.

Spending Wisely — The Bottom Line

Currency management in NTE comes down to a few simple rules:

1. Never convert Annulith into anything other than Solid Dice for limited banners unless you have a specific, planned reason.
2. Spend Fabricated Dice immediately — they have no alternative use and hoarding them wastes value.
3. Save Tri-Keys for the Arc Shop rather than pulling on the weapon banner.
4. Budget 14,400 Annulith per character you want to guarantee, and skip banners that do not fit your plan.
5. Save Warp Pieces for standard pool characters you actually need on your team.

If you follow these rules, you will always have enough currency to get the characters you care about — even as a completely free-to-play player.
