Vortex Gaming

· 'Neverness to Everness (NTE)' is an open-world RPG that allows for various activities such as fishing, Tetris, and car theft.
· To fully enjoy the game, leveling up your 'Hunter Level' and 'Emotion Level' is essential.
· Hunter Level is equivalent to your account level, and Emotion Level is similar to the world level.
· These levels determine your game progression and content accessibility, so it's important to raise them as quickly as possible.
· The best way to increase your Hunter Level is to consistently progress through main story quests and side quests.
· If you hit a level cap during quest progression, you can use the 'Exploration Guide' to achieve your goals and earn experience points and various rewards.
· Additionally, you can experience mini-boss battles and gain experience and rewards through 'Anomaly Requests' found throughout the map.
· Emotion Level is linked to Hunter Level and increases upon reaching certain Hunter Level milestones, affecting the world's difficulty.
· From Emotion Level 3 onwards, you can explore the world at your desired difficulty.

· In addition to the Exploration Guide, you can gain experience by exploring the map and finding 'Anomaly Zones'.
· Here, you can use your daily stamina to obtain equipment enhancement materials and experience points.
· Notably, 'Houdini's Magic Show' near the starting area provides character and weapon experience, as well as Beetle Coins, making it very useful for early progression.
· You can also double your rewards by using double stamina.
· In the Stamina usage menu, you can check the Exploration Guide to see what items you need, such as experience points, Beetle Coins, stat enhancements, and Ark Ascension, and use your stamina efficiently.
· In the 'Console' tab, you can view information about your character's equipment, 'Cartridges'. It's recommended to obtain Gold-grade Cartridges through stamina farming.
· In the early stages, it's best to focus on leveling up the free equipment, characters, and weapons provided.
· In the character menu, clicking on a missing item will take you directly to where you can obtain it.
· Collecting crows scattered throughout the city and bringing them to the witch will reward you with various items, including Hunter experience, and daily buffs.
· Carefully examining the in-game UI and menus can reveal hidden rewards and bonuses.

· There are two stamina bars in the game, one of which is related to the 'City Tycoon' system.
· City Tycoon is a system where you can enjoy various mini-games like Mahjong, Delivery, and Racing to earn special rewards.
· Through these activities, you can earn in-game currency called 'Pons', which are used for purposes other than purchasing characters.
· Each activity consumes 5 City Stamina, and there's a limit to the weekly amount of rewards you can collect.
· Leveling up your City Tycoon level grants various rewards, including Hunter Level experience.
· The 'Cafe Management' system is a passive system that automatically generates income in the background.
· This income can be used to purchase items useful in the late game or to upgrade your cafe for even greater profits.
· Starting Cafe Management early provides an advantage in securing funds and allows for faster progression in upgrading menu items.
· Replenishing stock every 4 hours and unlocking better menus will aid in long-term growth.
· Through the City Tycoon system, you can purchase real estate and acquire vehicles.
· You can place 'Anomaly Furniture' in your purchased properties to gain useful buffs or items for your character (e.g., furniture that reduces climbing stamina or increases critical damage).
· Vehicles are stored in your garage and can be customized freely. Purchasing vehicles requires a significant amount of in-game currency, so consistently saving funds through Cafe Management is crucial.

· NTE's exploration system is set in a city and is unique in that you can quickly traverse the map using acquired vehicles.
· After purchasing your first car, it's recommended to activate 'Wardheim Tower' to clear the map's fog and identify more points of interest.
· In addition to activating towers, securing fast travel points through 'phone booths' scattered across the map will make main quest progression much smoother.
· Engaging in criminal activities during exploration increases your 'Wanted Level'. If it reaches a certain threshold, you become a 'Fugitive'.
· Methods to lower your Wanted Level include evading the police or obtaining immunity through specific furniture.
· If you are arrested while wanted, you will go to jail, where you can serve time, pay a fine, or attempt to escape.
· Escaping prison incurs a penalty of a 15-minute cutscene, but successful escapes yield special rewards (magazines, currency, outfits).

· Combat in NTE is team-based with up to 4 characters, each possessing basic attacks, skills, and ultimate abilities.
· It's important to utilize 'hot-swapping' by switching characters when QTE effects appear during combat.
· Understanding character 'elements' and 'cycle reactions' is key to team composition and combat.
· In the character menu, you can check which elements each skill interacts with by pressing the 'Solid/Damage' button.
· While there aren't a huge number of characters currently in the game, you can play with various combinations.
· Generally, all characters perform well, so it's recommended to invest in characters you like.
· For a powerful damage dealer, S-rank 'Bikong' (name estimated) is recommended; his attacks maximize damage by stacking 'Power Words'.
· The free S-rank character 'Chis' can be obtained through the early story and boasts high DPS.
· Raid character 'Natalie' is also popular for her strong DPS and cute appearance.
· For support characters, S-rank 'Child' serves as a powerful buffer, but A-rank 'Haniel' also provides a team-wide attack buff and is easy to obtain.
· Since open-world exploration and the tycoon system are more important, for beginners, 'Hawthorne' (name estimated), who has cafe and furniture buff abilities, is recommended.

· 'Hawthorne' is an S-rank character specializing in cafe management and furniture buffs. The 'Hamster Ball' furniture is particularly useful as it provides 'Modules' needed for character equipment upgrades.
· This furniture allows you to obtain even S-rank equipment.
· The game features various skins for characters, gliders, and vehicles. These can be obtained by increasing your bond level with characters, purchasing them with in-game currency, or through prison escapes.
· The 'Console' system involves equipping character equipment (Cartridges) and obtaining set bonuses. In the early game, focus on general stats, and in the late game, aim to find the optimal build for each character.
· 'Arks' are the weapons characters use and can be obtained through gameplay, anomaly missions, and gacha. They come in B, A, and S ranks, with higher ranks offering better performance.
· NTE has the advantage of allowing free combination and use of various weapon types.
· 'Esper Abilities' are the character's combat skills, and on this screen, you can upgrade combat skills and hidden support skills.
· The 'Awakening' system strengthens characters when you obtain duplicates. You can choose and enhance desired nodes, and these can be changed at any time, significantly increasing character progression freedom.

· NTE's gacha system operates in a Monopoly board game format called 'Scarborough Fair'.
· Each space represents an obtainable item, and you roll dice to move and acquire the item on that space.
· While the probability of obtaining S-rank characters and weapons is low, you can increase the chances of acquiring S-rank items through in-game mechanics.
· The biggest feature of NTE's gacha is the absence of a '50/50 infinite probability'. This means once you obtain an S-rank item, you can definitively get a specific S-rank item of your choice.
· In the early stages of the game, free gacha pulls and abundant currency are provided, allowing players to obtain desired limited characters just by completing the main and side quests.
· The hard pity for character gacha is 90 pulls, and the soft pity is around 70 pulls.
· Pity for character gacha carries over to other character banners, but pity for skin gacha persists until that skin is re-released.
· 'Gold Warp Shards' and 'Silver Lost Shards' obtained from gacha can be exchanged for additional gacha tickets in the shop.
· It is recommended to purchase 5 limited gacha tickets, 20 Ark gacha tickets, and 5 regular gacha tickets each month.
· In the 'Hunter Exchange', you can use leftover 'Pons' currency to purchase useful items.

· 'Neverness to Everness' is in its early stages, making it the best time to start playing.
· Even without pressure regarding combat or character progression, there's plenty to enjoy, including exploration and the tycoon system.
· The game offers beautiful visuals and diverse content, allowing for enjoyment without deep consideration of meta builds.
· You can experience unique activities like acquiring and operating a Subway store within the game.
· Understanding and utilizing the game's various systems will lead to a richer gameplay experience.
