NTE 1.3 Skins & Summer Mystery Box Guide

NTE 1.3 Skins and Summer Mystery Box: What to Grab First

Neverness to Everness Version 1.3 has arrived with a wave of summer-themed cosmetics and a limited-time Mystery Box event. Whether you main Zankou, Chaos, or just want to freshen up your roster, there’s a lot to unpack. For a broader look at the patch, check our NTE Version 1.3 hub.

This guide breaks down every new outfit, how to obtain them, and whether the Mystery Box is worth your Fangs or Ring Stones. We’ll also cover the discounted prices and event deadlines so you can plan your Ether Crystals wisely.

At a Glance

• Zankou receives four new outfits: Searing Lavender, Twilight Noir, Autumn Vignette, and Moonlit Courtyard.
• Chaos gets the permanent Chartered Waves outfit.
• Mint, Nanally, and Appraiser also receive summer-themed skins.
• Summer Mystery Box event runs for a limited time, offering up to 15 draws with escalating costs.
• Discounts range from 18% to 32% off original prices.

Zankou’s New Outfits

Searing Lavender

Zankou’s Searing Lavender is now permanently available in the Shop. The discounted price is 2,680 Ether Crystals, down from 3,280. That’s an 18% discount for a limited time. If you’re a Zankou main, this elegant look is a solid pickup.

Twilight Noir

Twilight Noir is also permanent in the Shop, priced at 1,680 Ether Crystals (original 2,480). The 32% discount makes it the cheapest of Zankou’s shop outfits. It’s a stylish alternative for players who prefer a darker aesthetic.

Autumn Vignette

Autumn Vignette is not sold in the Shop. Instead, you’ll need to participate in the limited-time “Bewitching Shadow” Chessboard event. Roll dice on the event board and land on designated tiles to earn the outfit. You can also claim it from the Bewitching Rewards interface after a set number of dice rolls. This is a free-to-play friendly option if you’re willing to grind the event.

Moonlit Courtyard

Moonlit Courtyard unlocks after obtaining Residual Rainbow and reaching Bond Level 10. It’s a long-term goal for dedicated players. If you already have Residual Rainbow, start working on that bond level now.

Red Sunflower

Red Sunflower is automatically unlocked when you obtain Residual Rainbow. No extra steps needed—just add the character to your roster and the outfit is yours.

Chaos – Chartered Waves

Chaos’s new outfit “Chartered Waves” is permanently available in the Shop. The discounted price is 1,680 Ether Crystals, reduced from 2,480. That’s a 32% discount for a limited time. If you use Chaos regularly, this is a straightforward cosmetic upgrade.

Summer Mystery Box Event

The new Mystery Box is live, offering limited rewards and summer-themed cosmetics. You can open it using Fangs or Ring Stones, and the draw cost increases with each pull. You can draw up to 15 times. After completing all draws, you’ll receive every reward in the box.

Mint’s Limited Outfit – Saltwater Taffy

Mint’s Saltwater Taffy is one of the limited rewards from the Mystery Box. Not stated in official materials: exact drop rates or whether it can be obtained outside the box.

Sunny Surf – Nanally

Nanally’s Sunny Surf outfit is also part of the Mystery Box reward pool. Again, specific rates are not stated in official materials.

Cloudless Summer – Appraiser

Appraiser’s Cloudless Summer is another summer-themed cosmetic available through the Mystery Box. As with the others, no drop rates are provided.
