Blue Archive 5th Anniversary Gift: Dates & Rewards

Blue Archive's 5th anniversary celebrations continue with a limited on-time reward window, giving Senseis a straightforward way to stock up on Pyroxene and upgrade materials. According to the official announcement on the blue-archive news hub, the gift is available for one week only and must be claimed from the in-game mailbox.

Event Period and Claim Window

The 5-Year Anniversary Celebration Special Gift runs from 2025-11-08 (Sun) 9:00 AM UTC to 2025-11-15 (Sun) 2:59 PM UTC. Log in at any point during this window to receive a letter titled "5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL ON-TIME GIFT" in your mailbox.

The gift is once per account and the mailbox letter remains valid for 7 days after delivery. If you claim on the final day, you still have a week to open the attached items before they expire.

Reward Breakdown

The package is identical for all players and does not scale with account level or progression. Here is what arrives in the mailbox:

Pyroxene is the premium currency used for recruitments, and 1,200 is equivalent to a 10-pull. The Activity Reports provide student EXP, with Superior Reports offering significantly more than Advanced ones. Gift Choice Boxes let you select gifts to raise student relationships, and Expert Permits are used for skill upgrades and equipment crafting.

Planning Around the Gift

For F2P Senseis, 1,200 Pyroxene is a meaningful buffer toward a future banner. If you are close to a pity threshold, this gift can close the gap without spending. Low-spend players may view it as a reason to hold rather than top up.

The material bundle is universally useful. Activity Reports are always in demand for leveling new students, and Expert Permits are a bottleneck for skill investment. Gift Choice Boxes are best saved for students you are actively raising or for relationship milestones that unlock bonus stats.

What to Do Before the Window Closes

• Log in between 2025-11-08 9:00 AM UTC and 2025-11-15 2:59 PM UTC to trigger the mailbox delivery.
• Claim the letter within 7 days of receipt to avoid expiration.
• Check your mailbox for the exact title "5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL ON-TIME GIFT" to confirm delivery.
• Plan Pyroxene spending around upcoming banners; the 1,200 does not expire once claimed.

Context: Anniversary Season in Full Swing

The on-time gift follows the opening of the Blue Archive 5th Anniversary pre-registration page on 2025-11-03 UTC, which offered a 10-pull ticket and material boxes for early sign-ups. Nexon has been rolling out anniversary rewards in stages, and this mailbox gift is one of the simpler ones to secure.

For a look at how previous anniversary login events were structured, see our coverage of the 4th Anniversary Summer Sky's Promise pre-registration and the 2026 Year-End Gift login event. The pattern is consistent: short windows, mailbox delivery, and rewards that support both recruitment and student development.

Takeaway

The 5th anniversary on-time gift is a low-effort, high-value claim. Set a reminder for the UTC window, grab the letter from your mailbox, and treat the 1,200 Pyroxene as a head start on your next recruitment goal. Missing the window means waiting for the next anniversary cycle.
