Resource planning
NTE materials and farming guide
Material farming should follow your upgrade plan. Farm what unlocks a clear power spike first, then save flexible resources until you know which banner or team you are committing to.
Upgrade priority
For most accounts, the first priority is the main damage dealer's level and primary damage skill. The second priority is the support upgrade that keeps the rotation stable. The third priority is gear or Arc investment that affects your most-used content.
Avoid farming low-impact materials just because a stage is available. If an upgrade does not change clear speed, survival, or access to harder rewards, it can usually wait.
Farming checklist
- Write down the next three upgrades before spending stamina.
- Farm time-limited event shops before permanent stages when value is higher.
- Keep a reserve of flexible currency for new banner units.
- Stop farming a material once the planned upgrade is ready.
Resource and stamina planning
External beginner guides describe NTE as having separate pressure points for combat resources and city/life systems. That means an efficient account plan should not spend all playtime on one menu just because it has a red notification.
The best material route starts from a target upgrade. If you cannot name the character, Arc, skill, or city system you are preparing for, keep flexible materials instead of farming random stages.
- Write the next combat upgrade before spending combat resources.
- Check city-system stamina separately from combat farming needs.
- Prefer event shops when they replace slower permanent farming.
- Stop when the planned upgrade is ready; do not farm a material just because the stage is open.
