NTE 1.4 Anomaly Commissions Guide: Duskmoor & Pukaland

Overview

Neverness to Everness version 1.4 introduces three Anomaly Commissions scattered across Duskmoor and Pukaland. Each commission is a self-contained puzzle that rewards Annulith, the premium currency used for pulling on limited banners. If you are saving for upcoming characters or simply want to maximize your F2P pull count, these commissions are among the most efficient one-time sources of Annulith in the patch.

This guide covers prerequisites, step-by-step solutions, team recommendations, and common pitfalls. For more NTE news and updates, visit our game hub.

Prerequisites

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Commission 1: Duskmoor – The Whispering Alley

1. Travel to Duskmoor and head to the marked alley near the central plaza.
2. Interact with the anomalous graffiti on the wall. This starts a timed puzzle.
3. Follow the glowing footprints that appear. They lead to three hidden switches.
4. Activate the switches in the order indicated by the graffiti symbols (left, right, center).
5. Defeat the spawned Anomaly (level 40 recommended).
6. Claim the Annulith from the reward chest.

Commission 2: Duskmoor – The Echoing Bell

1. Locate the old bell tower in the eastern district of Duskmoor.
2. Ring the bell three times in quick succession.
3. A spectral enemy appears – defeat it to reveal a hidden path.
4. Follow the path to a small shrine and offer any item (a common material works).
5. Receive Annulith as a reward.

Commission 3: Pukaland – The Crooked Carousel

1. Enter Pukaland and find the abandoned carousel near the Ferris wheel.
2. Examine the control panel to start the ride.
3. Watch the carousel horses – one will glow differently.
4. Interact with the glowing horse to trigger a fight.
5. Defeat the Anomaly (level 45 recommended).
6. Collect Annulith from the central prize box.

Teams & Loadouts

These commissions are puzzle-focused, but two involve combat. A balanced team with crowd control and burst damage will speed things up.

Tier	Characters	Reasoning
Budget	Any free starter team	Puzzles don't require specific elements; combat is manageable with basic gear.
Optimal	Blackbird (S-Rank, 1.4) + any healer	Blackbird's AoE skills clear Anomaly mobs quickly.
F2P	Lacrimosa (returning) + starter DPS	Lacrimosa provides survivability; pair with a free DPS.

Note: Character availability depends on banner pulls. Not stated in official materials for exact drop rates.

Materials & Rewards

Commission	Location	Reward	Time Estimate
The Whispering Alley	Duskmoor	Annulith	15–20 min
The Echoing Bell	Duskmoor	Annulith	10–15 min
The Crooked Carousel	Pukaland	Annulith	20–25 min

Total Annulith: Not stated in official materials. Check in-game after completion.

Troubleshooting

• Puzzle not starting: Ensure you have completed the prerequisite story quest for that region. Some commissions only appear after a specific main story node.
• Switch order wrong: The graffiti symbols reset if you take too long. Re-interact with the graffiti to restart.
• Enemy too strong: Level up your characters or bring a healer. The Anomalies scale with your world level.
• Missing reward: Check your inventory for Annulith. If absent, restart the game or contact support.
