NTE Ver. 1.3 Rising from the Moonlit Fog Patch Notes

What are the Ver. 1.3 Rising from the Moonlit Fog patch notes?

Ver. 1.3 'Rising from the Moonlit Fog' is the latest major Neverness to Everness (NTE) update, live after maintenance on August 19, 2026. It adds two playable characters, Zankou and Linko, a new story chapter, a new district called Fogden, and summer events. Eligible players received Annulith x600 in maintenance and bug-fix compensation.

What new content does Version 1.3 add?

The 1.3 rollout is unusually content-heavy. The headline additions are:

• Two new playable characters: Zankou and Linko, each arriving with their own limited-time banner.
• A new story update continuing the main NTE narrative.
• A new district, Fogden, which expands the explorable map and its activities.
• Summer-themed events and activities tied to the seasonal timing of the patch.

Because several systems expanded at once, coverage has focused on which banners, reruns, and events to prioritize before their timers end.

How much is the Version 1.3 compensation, and who qualifies?

Official maintenance messaging granted Annulith x300 as maintenance compensation and Annulith x300 as bug-fix compensation, for a combined Annulith x600. Eligibility is tied to account age: players who created a character before August 19, 2026, 06:00 UTC+8 qualified for the rewards. Newer accounts created after that cutoff are generally excluded from this specific compensation round.

Which banners should you spend on first?

The named highlights for a collectibles-minded player are the new character banners for Zankou and Linko, alongside reruns and event content timed to the 1.3 launch. A practical order of priority is to pull the character you will actually use, then evaluate reruns, then spend leftover currency on the event shop before it closes.

Gacha banners run on published drop rates and pity systems, which is why reading the odds before committing matters. For background on how these systems work, see Wikipedia's overview of gacha games.

How does chasing NTE loot connect to real collectibles?

Version 1.3 rewards the same instinct that drives real-world collecting: the pull for a rare drop and the value tied to scarcity. If you enjoy that chase for physical tech, sneakers, and collectibles, the mystery boxes at TroveDrops apply the same idea to items you can ship or sell back for credit.

The difference is verifiable transparency. You can browse every box and its published odds before opening, and you can verify each result is provably fair using the recorded seeds. Nothing is hidden behind a banner splash, so you always know the real probability before you spend.
