Neverness to Everness (NTE) version 1.3 introduced the Lucent Tides Mystery Box, a limited-time pyramid-style gacha running from mid-August through the end of September 2026. The standout reward is The Tide, the game’s first player-owned watercraft that functions as a jet ski usable on oceans and lakes. It arrives alongside summer outfits for Nanally, Mint, and Esper Zero (the Appraiser), plus an avatar frame and various materials.

Players open up to 15 boxes using either Fons or Annulith. The price rises with each successive box. Completing all 15 guarantees every item in the pool. The full clear costs 12,980 Annulith or 19,880,000 Fons. Early boxes are relatively cheap; later ones climb sharply, so many players use Fons for the first several pulls and switch to Annulith once costs spike.

How the System Works

This is a depleting-pool system rather than a traditional banner. Each reward has a fixed stock (usually one for the major prizes). Once you receive an item it is removed, which raises the relative odds of the remaining rewards. The Tide itself is not available in the first five boxes; it enters the pool starting with the sixth pull. Luck can deliver it earlier than the final box, but the weighted nature of these events often pushes the highest-value items toward the later pulls.

Full Reward List

Major limited items include:

  • The Tide (watercraft)
  • Sunny Surf outfit for Nanally
  • Cloudless Summer outfit for Esper Zero
  • Saltwater Taffy outfit for Mint
  • Endless Summer profile frame

Supporting rewards include Fabricated Dice, Handwritten Letters, Anomaly Pilgrimage Material Selection Boxes, Floe Cinema Tickets, Elite Hunter Guides, Dreamless Seeds, and Beetle Coins.

Practical Advice

Decide based on your goals. Collectors who want The Tide plus the full set of summer cosmetics will likely clear the box. Players focused purely on the jet ski can stop once they obtain it, though the remaining boxes still contain useful materials. Casual or low-spend players can enjoy the free boat and any temporary event jet skis while banking currency for future banners or property. Check your current Fons and Annulith balance against the escalating costs before committing to a full clear.

The Lucent Tides Mystery Box delivers a fun seasonal vehicle and cosmetics, but it is not essential for progression. Treat it as a luxury purchase rather than a mandatory one, and only spend what you can comfortably afford after accounting for other version 1.3 goals.
