NTE 999 Nights Permanent Mode — Event Guide, Rewards & Dates

1. 1

   Unlock the mode

   Clear the Dreamwalk Corridor story episode. That is the only unlock condition recorded on this site's own 999 Nights build guide, and there is no separate Hunter Level gate the way Circle Gifts has one.

2. 2

   Pick a class and start appraising gear

   Each class is tied to a fixed character with its own weapon, four armor pieces and two accessories. Gear stats are randomized when you appraise them at a bonfire, and rarity sets how many substats a piece rolls with: Rare gets 1, Epic 2, Legendary 3, Mythic 4.

3. 3

   Chase complete sets over stronger single pieces

   Set bonuses in 999 Nights scale hard at 4 pieces. Mint's Sunward Windrider set, for one example, adds up to a 600% Crit DMG increase against Crimson Flame targets once complete. A full lower-rarity set with both bonuses active usually beats a higher-rarity piece that breaks the set.

4. 4

   Clear the mode's own story, then push Challenge and Nightmare Mode

   Finishing 999 Nights' story unlocks Challenge Mode and Nightmare Mode, the difficulty tiers built around a finished gear set. Both stay open permanently once unlocked, independent of the Version 1.2 event calendar.

5. 5

   Claim both reward pools before the launch track closes

   The income data this site tracks for Version 1.2 splits the payout into a Permanent Shop pool (roughly 500 Annulith and 1,000,000 Fons) and a Limited-Time pool (roughly 1,350 Annulith, 5 Fabricated Dice and 400,000 Fons) tied to the launch window. Only the second pool stops paying out once the window closes.

• Prioritize a complete 2-Set or 4-Set bonus over a slightly better individual roll on a piece that would break the set.
• Zero, Mint, Iroi and Shinku each need their own gear farmed separately. There is no shared pool between classes.

The official blurb only lists reward categories: Annulith, Fabricated Dice, Fons, Floe Cinema Tickets, Elite Hunter Guides, Chaotic Dye. This site's own income tracker breaks the Version 1.2 total into a Permanent Shop pool worth roughly 500 Annulith and 1,000,000 Fons and a Limited-Time pool worth roughly 1,350 Annulith, 5 Fabricated Dice and 400,000 Fons. It is the second of those that stops paying out today.
