NTE Iroi Archmage Outfit Cost: 200-Pull Rewards and the Cheapest Board Plan

Chasing Iroi's Archmage outfit? Top up Annulith through the Neverness to Everness top-up page on Topuplist at the official Topuplist storefront — with fast delivery and secure payments, your milestone pulls are always covered.

Latest status: Iroi's Archmage outfit is guaranteed at 200 cumulative pulls on The Lifeline board, which closes August 19, 2026 (05:59 UTC+8). The milestone track also hands out the Sheepcopter glider at 50 pulls and the Three's Company B100 livery at 120 pulls. Wayfarer Perks do not carry over to future banners.

The Archmage outfit is the rarest item on Iroi's banner: a gacha-exclusive skin with no direct purchase price. Unlike the Fashion Shop costumes, you cannot just buy it — you have to reach 200 pulls on The Lifeline board, at which point it is guaranteed. That sounds intimidating, and the raw number is large, but the real cost depends heavily on your starting pity, your free-roll income and how you buy Riftcrystal. This guide breaks the full 200-pull math down to the last Annulith, and shows the cheapest route to the outfit for every budget.

The Archmage Outfit at a Glance

The 50 / 120 / 200 Wayfarer Perk Milestones

Wayfarer Perk Details

The Lifeline board carries three cosmetic milestones, awarded alongside your normal pulls — they are free add-ons on the way to the outfit, not separate purchases:

Important: Wayfarer Perks are exclusive to The Lifeline and do not carry over. If you stop at 149 pulls and the banner ends, the Archmage is gone — the track resets with the next character. That makes the decision binary: commit to 200, or commit to stopping before 120, with no in-between safety net. There is no partial credit and no exchange shop for leftover milestone progress, so plan the commitment before the first multi, not after the 119th.

What 200 Pulls Actually Cost

Raw Annulith Cost

200 pulls x 160 Annulith = 32,000 Annulith at the absolute worst case, before free rolls and pity luck. Two factors reduce it in practice:

1. Every pull builds character pity. 200 pulls guarantees two Iroi copies (hard pity at 90 twice) and leaves ~20 pulls of carry-over pity into the next banner. If you already have partial pity from Shinku's board, the first copy arrives even earlier.

1. Free rolls. The August event slate (see below) covers a meaningful slice of the 200 pulls before you spend anything.

So the "true" cost is 32,000 minus your free-roll income minus any lucky early Iroi that does not reduce the pull count (the milestone is about pulls, not characters — early Iroi copies do not subtract from the 200 count).

Real-Money Cost Breakdown

In Riftcrystal packs, 32,000 Annulith at standard prices is roughly:

The single biggest discount is the first-purchase double bonus: taking each pack tier once at double value roughly halves the real-money cost of the milestone track. The 6,480 pack doubled (12,960 Annulith) and the 1,980 pack doubled (3,960) plus the 980 pack doubled (1,960) reach ~18,880 with just three purchases, and stacking the $4.99 monthly pass's 2,700 Annulith closes most of the gap. That means a committed player funding the track during the launch window pays meaningfully less than the sticker price suggests — the discounts are the whole reason the "cheapest board plan" below exists.

Free Rolls That Offset the Cost

Confirmed Free Roll Sources

Count these against the 200-pull target before spending anything:

• 300 Annulith maintenance compensation (all pre-July 29 accounts)

• 10 Solid Dice from the Circle Gifts 7-day login — worth 1,600 Annulith of limited pulls

• Event Annulith from Going, Going, Gone!, Fishing Frenzy (Aug 3-19) and Warren Lucky Flip (Aug 5-19)

• Up to 640 Annulith + Fabricated Dice from the Eibon Partner Program (returning players)

• Daily and weekly mission Annulith through the three-week phase

The confirmed floor is roughly 2,000-2,500 Annulith of limited pulls, with active players realistically banking 3,000+ through the phase. Applied to the 200-pull track, that shaves roughly 15-20 pulls off the target — meaning ~180-185 real pulls (about 29,000 Annulith) at worst.

The Cheapest Board Plan

Budget Route for F2P

Free-to-play players should treat the Archmage as a byproduct of pulling for awakenings, never a target itself. The cheapest F2P plan: claim all free Annulith, pull only if you actually want Iroi copies, and stop immediately if the milestone math stops making sense. 200 pulls is two guaranteed copies plus the outfit — if you were going to C1 or C2 Iroi anyway, the outfit is effectively free; if you were not, 32,000 Annulith for a skin is the worst trade on the board. Do not sacrifice Zankou (expected Aug 19) for it.

Budget Route for Light Spenders

The light-spender sweet spot: buy the Riftcrystal Permit (4.99)on day one of the banner (300 Riftcrystal up front, 2,700 Annulith over 30 days), add the **Circle Bounty Elite tier (9.99) for its 680 Annulith and 4 Solid Dice, and claim every event reward. That injects roughly 4,000-4,500 Annulith on top of free income — enough to reach the 120-pull milestone (Three's Company livery) in most cases, and a large head start toward 200. Reserve first-purchase double packs for the final push to 200 if you commit.

Efficient Route for Whales

For players committed to the full track: take the first-purchase double on the 6,480 pack before anything (12,960 Annulith for 99.99 is the best deal in the store), then the 1,980 pack (doubled, 3,960), then the 980 pack (doubled, 1,960) — roughly 180-190 of packs on double bonuses plus the monthly pass reaches 200 pulls with minimal waste. The pulls simultaneously deliver C0+C1 Iroi (and most of C2), so the outfit comes bundled with a materially stronger account, not just a skin.

Whichever route you take, lock in your currency early: a Neverness to Everness top-up on Topuplist through the official Topuplist storefront delivers Riftcrystal with fast processing, and the first-purchase double bonus is applied on eligible tiers — which is exactly what makes the 200-pull track affordable in one session rather than across pay cycles.

Is the Archmage Outfit Worth It?

Comparing Archmage to the Fashion Shop Skins

The honest comparison with Iroi's other premium outfits:

For a pure cosmetic, the Fashion Shop route is dramatically cheaper — Summer Dream at 1,680 Riftcrystal is under 6% of the Archmage's worst-case cost. The Archmage's real value is as a collector item plus two guaranteed character copies: anyone pulling for Iroi awakenings gets it as a bonus, while players who only want a skin should absolutely buy Summer Dream or Dreamweaver instead. One caveat: Summer Dream and Dreamweaver prices rise after Version 1.2 ends, so if either Fashion Shop skin is the goal, buy it before August 19 — the launch discount window is the cheapest the outfits will ever be, and 1,680 Riftcrystal is a small fraction of the gacha track's price. The full outfit-by-outfit breakdown is documented in this Iroi skin guide if you want to compare them side by side.

Step-by-Step: Claiming the Archmage Before the Deadline

Wayfarer Perks do not auto-claim themselves, and the banner closes at 05:59 (UTC+8) on August 19 — so follow this checklist to avoid losing the outfit to the deadline:

1. Claim the 300 Annulith compensation from your mailbox on day one (it expires like all mail).

1. Complete the Circle Gifts 7-day login as early as possible — the 10 Solid Dice are free limited-board pulls worth 1,600 Annulith.

1. Run every Annulith-paying event: Going, Going, Gone! (auction), Fishing Frenzy (Aug 3-19), Warren Lucky Flip (Aug 5-19) and the daily/weekly missions.

1. Track your pull count on The Lifeline board — the milestone counter shows exactly where you stand versus 200.

1. Redeem the Wayfarer Perks from the perks page before maintenance starts on August 19. If the banner closes with perks unclaimed, they vanish — there is no retroactive grant, and support cannot restore them after the fact.

1. If you fall short, decide at 180-190 pulls: pushing the last 10-20 pulls is usually cheaper than losing the track, but only if the outfit was the goal in the first place. If it was not, stop — the carry-over pity still serves your next character.

How Many Pulls Can You Realistically Bank?

The raw 200-pull number scares most players, but the August calendar is unusually generous. Hotta Studio's own Version 1.0 pull budget estimated roughly 28,565 Annulith from normal play across a patch, and the 1.2 Phase 2 window stacks several of the game's better payouts into one month. A realistic August income ledger, using only confirmed sources:

• 300 Annulith compensation + 10 Solid Dice from Circle Gifts (1,600 Annulith)

• Event Annulith from Going, Going, Gone!, Fishing Frenzy and Warren Lucky Flip

• Daily quests (roughly one pull's worth per day across the phase) and weekly missions

• Eibon Partner Program payouts if you qualify as a returning player

• Circle Bounty free-track ranks

An active free-to-play player can realistically bank 25-40 pulls toward the milestone across the phase without spending. That brings the real outlay for the Archmage to roughly 160-175 paid pulls (25,600-28,000 Annulith) — still heavy, but materially less than the sticker price, and it arrives bundled with two Iroi copies plus the 120-pull B100 livery and the 50-pull glider.

The Byproduct Math: Why 200 Pulls Is Two Characters Plus a Skin

Here is the framing that makes or breaks the decision: 200 pulls is not 200 pulls of cosmetics — it is a full C2 run with the outfit attached. Hard pity at 90 means 200 pulls guarantees two Iroi copies (180 pulls) and leaves 20 pulls of carry-over into the next limited banner. At average luck you see even more copies. So the correct question is not "is the Archmage worth 32,000 Annulith?" but "is C0-C2 Iroi worth 32,000 Annulith, with the outfit, glider and livery as free extras?" For anyone who planned awakenings anyway, the answer flips to yes; for everyone else, the Fashion Shop skins remain the sane cosmetic purchase.

FAQ

How much does Iroi's Archmage outfit cost?
It is guaranteed at 200 cumulative pulls on The Lifeline board: 32,000 Annulith at worst case. Free August rolls (300 compensation, 10 Solid Dice from Circle Gifts, event Annulith) reduce the real spend, and first-purchase double packs roughly halve the Riftcrystal cost.

What are the 50/120/200 pull rewards on Iroi's banner?
50 pulls gives the Sheepcopter glider skin, 120 pulls gives the Three's Company livery for the B100 vehicle, and 200 pulls gives the Archmage outfit. These Wayfarer Perks expire with the banner on August 19.

Can I get the Archmage outfit as a free-to-play player?
Only as a byproduct of pulling for Iroi awakenings. 200 pulls is two guaranteed Iroi copies plus the outfit; if you were not planning C1/C2, spending 32,000 Annulith on the skin alone is not a good trade for F2P budgets.

Is there a cheaper way to get an Iroi skin?
Yes — the Fashion Shop sells Summer Dream for 1,680 Riftcrystal and Dreamweaver for 2,680 Riftcrystal during Version 1.2 (prices rise after), and two outfits are free: Starlit Night at Bond Level 10 and Channeling... for 8,000 Mystery Buttons.

Does my pity count toward the 200-pull milestone?
No. The milestone counts pulls on The Lifeline board itself. Character pity builds alongside it (200 pulls = 2 guaranteed copies), but early Iroi copies do not reduce the pull count toward the outfit.

Where can I top up for the Archmage milestone track?
Use the Neverness to Everness top-up page on Topuplist through the official Topuplist storefront for fast, secure Riftcrystal delivery that converts 1:1 into Annulith. Taking each pack tier's first-purchase double bonus is the cheapest way to fund the 200-pull track, cutting the real-money cost by roughly half.
