Should you buy the Riftcrystal Mining Permit in Neverness to Everness?

For anyone playing Neverness to Everness (NTE) who is thinking about spending a little money, one purchase keeps coming up in conversations: the Riftcrystal Mining Permit. It is a monthly pass that gives you premium currency over 30 days. The question is whether it actually delivers enough value to justify pulling out your wallet.

Here is what the pass does. You pay once, and for the next 30 days, every login gives you a set amount of Annulith. That is the premium currency you use to pull for characters and weapons. Alongside Annulith, you also get Fons, the standard in-game currency that covers leveling, gear upgrades, and other progression costs. So the pass addresses two needs at once: your gacha savings and your daily expenses.

What does the pass cost and what do you actually get?

The official materials for NTE do not list a specific price for the Riftcrystal Mining Permit. Based on standard gacha pricing, you can expect it to fall in the budget-friendly range, likely around USD 5 or your regional equivalent. When you compare that to one-time top-ups of similar value, monthly passes in games like this almost always give you more currency per dollar.

To decide whether it is worth buying, do the math yourself. Take the daily Annulith amount and multiply it by 30. Add any bonus Fons on top. Then compare that total to what you would get from a direct purchase of the same price. If the pass number is higher, it is the better deal for anyone willing to spend.

Buying rules and daily claiming

You buy the permit from the in-game shop. Find the Riftcrystal Mining Permit entry, complete the transaction, and the 30-day timer starts right away. There is no delay or choice about when to activate it.

The catch is that you must log in every day to collect your rewards. They do not pile up in your mailbox if you skip a day. Miss a login and that day’s Annulith and Fons are gone. The permit usually has its own tab or icon in the menu, separate from regular mail or event pages, so check the shop or the events screen to see your status.

Can you stack multiple permits?

One common question about the pass is whether you can buy several at once. The official materials do not clarify the stacking rules yet. In many gacha games, buying a second active pass simply extends the remaining duration rather than giving you double rewards per day. But NTE could handle it differently. Until the developers confirm the behavior, the safest approach is to buy one at a time and see what happens when you attempt a second purchase.

If you plan to buy the pass, think about your pulling timeline. Suppose there is a character banner you want — starting the pass a few weeks early gives you a pile of Annulith ready by the time the banner arrives.

Who should buy it?

For strict free-to-play players, the Riftcrystal Mining Permit is technically a purchase, so it violates that rule. You can play NTE entirely without it. But it noticeably speeds up your currency income. For low-spenders who log in daily, this is one of the easiest spending decisions in the game. It is cheap, it gives reliable value, and it keeps your pull fund growing steadily.

If you are still unsure, look at your pull plans first. Know which characters are coming and whether you care about hitting pity. That concrete goal makes the pass either a smart investment or an unnecessary one.
