What the planner covers
The NTE ascension planner is a materials calculator and inventory tracker for Neverness to Everness. It knows the ascension, level-up and ability costs of 21 characters, the ascension and level costs of 50 arcs, and the Bond gift prices of every character — 102 distinct items in total, from Beetle Coins and Hunter Guides to world-boss drops and skill books. Every material on the list links to where it drops or sells on the interactive map.

How to use the ascension planner
Step 1
Add goals
Pick the characters, arcs or Bonds you want to max. A new goal starts at 100% — Lv.80, all abilities at 10 — and you set where you are and where you want to go in Setup.
Step 2
Rank them
Left is first. Your inventory is spent on goal 1, what remains goes to goal 2, and so on, so "Ready" means ready in that order.
Step 3
Enter what you own
Type quantities or use − / +. The shopping list shows what is short, per material, and links to the exact farm spot on the map.
Methodology & sources
Costs. Ascension breakthroughs and ability upgrades are the per-character tables published on ntebuild.com, taken from the in-game upgrade screens. Character level EXP was measured first-hand in v1.2 (Lv.1→60, screenshots on file); the 60→80 brackets and arc EXP per level are extrapolated from the measured curve and are flagged with ≈ wherever they appear.
Farm locations. Each material's source is resolved from the game's item and drop tables (world-boss drops, Anomaly Drop lines 01–04, the Talent, Arc-breakthrough and Resource clones), then matched to the pins of our interactive map so every link opens the exact location.
Bond. Gift affection values and Fons prices are the same tables as each character's Bond tab, cross-checked against in-game shop prices.

Ascension Planner — FAQ
What does the NTE ascension planner calculate?
Every material, Beetle Coin, Hunter Guide and Chaotic Dye needed to take the characters and arcs you pick from their current level, ascension and skill ranks to your target — merged into one shopping list, with your inventory subtracted so only what is left to farm remains.
How does ranking goals work?
Goals are served in the order you rank them. Your inventory is spent on the first goal, what is left goes to the second, and so on — so a goal shows "Ready" only when everything ranked above it is already paid for. Drag priorities with the arrows on each goal.
How many materials does it take to max a character in NTE?
Taking an S-rank character from Lv.1 to Lv.80 with all four abilities at Lv.10 costs about 6.5 million character EXP (≈324 Elite Hunter Guides), 3.9 million Beetle Coins, 194 monster-drop materials across three tiers, 86 world-boss materials and 176 skill books. The exact list differs per character; the planner shows it for each one.
Where do I farm ascension materials in NTE?
Monster-drop lines (Whispers, Silhouette, Numeral, Delusions) come from open-world anomalies; world-boss materials from Anomaly Hunts such as Headless Rider or Nestbound Bird; skill books from the Talent clone (Houdinii's Schemes); arc materials from the Arc-breakthrough clone (Bubble Can Factory); EXP and coins from the Resource clone. Every row in the planner links to the exact spot on the interactive map.
Is my inventory saved?
Yes, locally in your browser — no account needed. You can export the plan as a file to move it to another device or share it, and import it back.
Where do the numbers come from?
Ascension and skill costs are the per-character tables on ntebuild.com, measured in-game (v1.2). Level EXP above 60 and arc EXP per level are extrapolated from the measured curve and are marked as approximate. Farm locations come from the game's item and drop data, cross-checked against the map.
