Neverness to Everness 1.4 Events: Don't Miss the Pukaland Rewards Hidden Behind October Timers

Neverness to Everness Version 1.4, “For Whom the Verses Mourn,” goes live after maintenance on September 30, 2026. The update opens Pukaland, launches Circle Gifts, Pukaland Travelogue and Terminal Depths, and schedules additional resource events through October. The dates overlap, but the activities do not demand the same behavior: one needs seven logins, two offer a long completion window, one doubles City Stamina efficiency, and another lets unused daily double-reward allowance roll forward.

The main planning risk is treating everything as a September 30 task. Version 1.4 runs its major launch activities until November 11 at 05:59 (UTC+8), while Stamina Recharge and Pixel Surge have shorter October windows. A player can pace the launch content, but cannot recover an expired pre-maintenance reward page or a missed farming period. This guide separates the deadlines and explains what each one changes for account resources.

The first deadline happens before Version 1.4 opens

Maintenance is scheduled for September 30 from 06:00 to 11:00 (UTC+8). The current Linko Limited Board, “Surfing All Channels!,” closes at 05:59, one minute before maintenance. Players with unclaimed skin or outfit rewards on the Sync Perks page must redeem them before that cutoff. Having enough board progress is not the same as owning the reward if the claim button was never used.

Eligible accounts receive 300 Annulith as maintenance compensation and another 300 Annulith as bug-fix compensation. Eligibility requires creating a character before September 30 at 06:00 (UTC+8), and distribution is through in-game mail after maintenance. The official notice says the mail must be claimed before it expires, so returning players should inspect the inbox instead of assuming compensation enters the currency balance automatically.

After the update, the Pukaland Fest Special Gift Pack also arrives by mail with 10 Solid Dice and the “Like Clockwork” avatar frame. A second gift follows after the October 21 update: Akane's “House Special” outfit and 2,000,000 Fons. Eligibility for these gifts requires a character with Mail unlocked before Version 1.4 ends. This creates a different deadline for new players: unlock Mail during the version even if the October gift is not immediately visible.

September 30 boundary: redeem Linko Sync Perks before 05:59, expect maintenance from 06:00 to 11:00, then claim compensation and the Pukaland gift from Mail after servers reopen.

Version 1.4 event calendar and what actually expires

Most launch events share the November 11 endpoint, but their reward logic differs. A calendar should therefore record both time and consumption rule. Circle Gifts depends on login count. Pukaland Travelogue and Terminal Depths depend on active completion. Stamina Recharge improves City Stamina efficiency only inside a two-week period. Pixel Surge has a daily allowance that carries over, but still has a hard total cap and final date.

Circle Gifts is easy, but “seven days” should not be postponed

Circle Gifts awards 10 Solid Dice after logging in for a total of seven days during the event. The official wording says “a total of 7 days”; it does not present the reward as a consecutive seven-day streak. That gives players room to miss days, but waiting until the final week removes all protection against maintenance, travel, device problems or a forgotten login.

Open the event page after each qualifying login and claim any unlocked step. Login events sometimes record attendance but leave the reward behind a separate claim button. The safest finish state is not “I opened the game seven times”; it is “the tenth Solid Die is in inventory and every event-day tile shows claimed.”

The Solid Dice from Circle Gifts are separate from the 10 Solid Dice mailed in the Pukaland Fest Special Gift Pack. Eligible players can therefore receive both sources. Keep mail claims and event-page claims distinct when counting the Version 1.4 total, especially if some Dice are used on a Limited Board before the seventh login reward is collected.

Pukaland Travelogue and Terminal Depths need different account preparation

Pukaland Travelogue is built around collecting Wonder Stamps and completing limited-time encounters. Its listed rewards include Annulith, Fabricated Dice, Floe Cinema Tickets, Elite Hunter Guides and Chaotic Dye. The practical first objective is to open the event hub, identify how stamps are displayed and locate every visible encounter category. Do not assume ordinary Pukaland exploration automatically completes a limited encounter unless the event page records it.

Because Travelogue lasts until November 11, it does not need to consume the entire launch day. Progress far enough to expose locked sections and their opening conditions, then combine event encounters with exploration or story tasks in the same area. This reduces repeated travel and makes it easier to notice whether a stamp comes from discovery, an encounter or a separate claim milestone.

Terminal Depths is stage-based and awards the “Off-Rail Operator” title alongside Annulith, Fons, Elite Hunter Guides and Chaotic Dye. Its early value is diagnostic. Clearing several stages shows whether the account lacks damage, survivability or developed alternatives before the event reaches its closing week. If later stages resist progress, build around the actual failure rather than spreading resources evenly across every character.

Titles and currency should be checked separately. A player may collect Annulith from accessible stages without reaching the condition for “Off-Rail Operator.” Review the event's reward tabs after each meaningful difficulty breakpoint so the final target is visible, then decide whether the title is worth additional investment for that account.

Stamina Recharge changes when to farm, not whether to cap

Stamina Recharge runs from October 5 at 05:00 to October 19 at 04:59 server time. During that window, City Stamina spent in Hethereau Hobbies receives 2x efficiency. The wording matters: the bonus applies to eligible Stamina spending during the event, not to resources collected before it. The live activity menu should be checked for any attempt cap or eligible-stage label before committing the day's Stamina.

Do not hold City Stamina at its cap for several days waiting for October 5. Once natural recovery stops, the lost Stamina can exceed the benefit of delayed farming. Enter the event window below the cap, let normal regeneration continue, and route eligible spending toward the materials currently blocking the account. If consumable Stamina recovery items have no earlier expiration and the event accepts their resulting Stamina, the live rules will determine whether using them inside the bonus window is worthwhile.

Prioritize materials with a known near-term use. A double-drop event does not make unwanted materials valuable. List the next character, Arc or team upgrade, calculate the remaining requirement and stop farming that activity once the bottleneck moves elsewhere. This turns the 2x period into reduced future Stamina cost rather than a larger pile of unused inventory.

Pixel Surge has rollover, but it is not unlimited

Pixel Surge runs from October 19 at 05:00 to October 26 at 04:59 server time. It doubles rewards when Character Pixels are spent in Houdinii's Magic Stage, Houdinii's Schemes, Bubble Can Factory and Rabbit Hole. Double rewards apply to up to 120 Character Pixels per day, and unused daily allowance carries forward. The total double-reward cap across the event is 840 Character Pixels.

The rollover means players do not have to spend exactly 120 Pixels every day. Missing the first day can be recovered later because its unused allowance remains available. However, rollover does not extend the event or raise the 840 cap. A player who waits until the final hours still needs enough Character Pixels, time and available activities to spend the accumulated allowance before October 26 at 04:59.

Use the event counter, not mental arithmetic, to track the remaining boosted amount. If 360 boosted Pixels have already been spent, 480 remain. Choose among the four eligible activities according to the account's actual resource shortage. Once the counter reaches 840, further Pixel spending returns to normal value even if the event page remains open.

Why Pixel Surge is forgiving: unused daily allowance rolls forward. Why it still needs planning: the accumulated allowance disappears when the event ends, and the total boosted spending cannot exceed 840 Character Pixels.

Optional boards and mystery boxes belong outside the free-event budget

Version 1.4 also launches Blackbird's “Foretold Finale” Limited Board and reruns Lacrimosa's “Fading Reverie” board from September 30 after the update until October 21 at 05:59 (UTC+8). Their perk tracks are independent: rolls on Fading Reverie count only toward Daydream Perks, while Blackbird's board uses Divination Perks. Do not combine the two totals when evaluating 50, 120 or 200-roll milestone rewards.

The NTE x Porsche “Born to Race” Mystery Boxes and returning “Everdriving” boxes run until November 11 at 05:59. They can consume Fons or Annulith, with the first box priced at 50,000 Fons or 50 Annulith and later boxes increasing in price. These are optional reward pools, not requirements for Circle Gifts, Pukaland Travelogue or Terminal Depths. Protect the free-event resource plan before committing currency to a rising-cost box sequence.

Players who choose optional spending should verify the live region, account and package before payment, then set a ceiling based on the desired board or cosmetic rather than the existence of the activity. Free Annulith from compensation and events can change the remaining shortfall, so claim it first and recalculate. No event reward should be described as requiring a top-up unless the in-game page explicitly places it on a paid track.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does Neverness to Everness Version 1.4 launch?

Maintenance is scheduled for September 30, 2026 from 06:00 to 11:00 (UTC+8). Version 1.4 goes live after maintenance, although the server may reopen earlier or later if the maintenance schedule changes.

How many Solid Dice are available from the launch login and mail rewards?

Circle Gifts provides 10 Solid Dice for logging in on a total of seven days. The Pukaland Fest Special Gift Pack separately provides another 10 Solid Dice by mail after the update for eligible accounts.

Does Pixel Surge require spending 120 Character Pixels every day?

No. Unused daily double-reward allowance carries forward, up to the event-wide total of 840 Character Pixels. All boosted spending must still be completed before October 26 at 04:59 server time.

Should City Stamina be capped until Stamina Recharge begins?

No. Sitting at the cap stops natural recovery and can waste more Stamina than it saves. Enter the October 5 event window with room for regeneration and spend on the eligible Hethereau Hobbies materials the account actually needs.

What must be claimed before the September 30 maintenance?

The Linko Limited Board “Surfing All Channels!” ends at 05:59 (UTC+8). Any earned skin or outfit rewards on the Sync Perks event page should be redeemed before that cutoff.
