NTE 1.2 Ends August 19: What to Finish First

NTE version 1.2 closes on August 19, 2026, and as of this writing (August 10, 2026) that leaves nine days on the clock. This guide splits everything tied to 1.2 into what disappears with the version and what stays on your account forever, then lays out the order to finish things in if you’re short on time.

Neverness to Everness, developed by Hotta Studio and published by Perfect World Games, runs its content in versioned patches with two banner phases each. Version 1.2, subtitled “999 Nights,” released on July 8, 2026, and ends on August 19, 2026. Everything scheduled inside that patch — banners, login rewards, mystery boxes, and the rotating farm events — is on a clock, but not all of it shares the same clock. Some rewards are claimed once and become permanent account items (a character, an Arc, currency already banked). Others are event-only currencies or boosted rates that vanish the moment the event closes, used or not.

The single biggest mistake in the last week of a version isn’t forgetting about the deadline — it’s assuming there’s only one. Version 1.2 and the Iroi banner close August 19, but the block of farming events that boost Fons and material gains runs on its own schedule, and that window shuts two days earlier. If you’re pacing yourself against the version-end date alone, you’ll walk straight past the farm-event cutoff without noticing.

Notice the pattern: everything that ends August 19 is tied directly to the version switch, while Fons Rush ends August 17 because it’s the last entry in a chain of farm events that started back on July 13. Treat August 17 as your real deadline for anything farming-related, not the 19th.

If you’re triaging by effort versus reward, these two go first because they cost almost nothing to finish. Version 1.2 hands out a second free S-Class Standard Character selector on top of the one new accounts already get from 50 standard pulls, and a 7-day login event that rewards 10 Solid Dice for logging in across seven days, plus the character selector box for anyone who has already opened the mailbox feature. Neither requires farming, a specific team, or spending currency — you just need to open the mail and log in.

Both of these are the kind of reward that’s easy to forget precisely because they don’t require active play — you just have to remember to open the app. That makes them the first things to lock in, before you spend any real session time on farming or pulling.

The cleanest way to think about it: anything sitting in your mailbox or event tab as an unclaimed reward disappears with the version. Anything already converted into a character, Arc, or piece of permanent currency stays on your account regardless of what patch you’re on.

Pity progress on limited banners

Limited character boards in Neverness to Everness share a single pity count, so any progress you built on Shinku’s board carries directly into Iroi’s instead of resetting. That counter is expected to keep carrying into future limited S-Class banners after 1.2 ends too, so partial pity isn’t wasted even if you don’t finish pulling for Iroi specifically.

Event currencies tied to a closing window

Fons, Annulith, and dice you already own don’t vanish — but the boosted earn rates and the specific shops tied to an expiring event (like the Neon Rift Mystery Box) do close. If you’re sitting on currency meant for one of these, spend it before the 19th rather than assuming a 1.3 equivalent will accept it.

The gacha mechanics behind all of this

How the Scarborough Fair board, Solid Dice, and pity guarantees actually interact is a deeper topic on its own — worth reading up on separately if you’re planning exactly how many pulls you need for Iroi rather than just claiming the freebies above.

“Farm events run until the version ends”

They don’t. All the farming events happen every day from July 13th to August 17th — that’s a fixed chain of four events, and the last one in the chain, Fons Rush, is the one closing August 17, not August 19.

“999 Nights is a limited-time event I need to rush”

999 Nights is described as a permanent mode that continues past 1.2, so treating it like a ticking clock is the wrong instinct — it’s fine to work through it at a normal pace.

“Missing the free S-Class selector means missing it forever”

That’s true only in the narrow sense that this specific delivery window closes with the version. The reward is a mailbox item tied to 1.2’s timeline specifically, so if you haven’t opened your mail and claimed it, that’s the one genuinely time-sensitive freebie on this whole list.
