Running low on Fons in Neverness to Everness is one of the most frustrating feelings you can feel in the game. You open the shop, see something you want, but you just can't afford it. The good news is that there are plenty of ways to fix that. Here's everything you need to know to start stacking Fons fast in NTE.
What Is Fons?
Fons is the main currency in Hethereau. You use it for almost everything, buying properties, setting up businesses, getting furniture, and purchasing materials through the Hunter Exchange. The Hunter Exchange unlocks once you hit City Tycoon Level 6, so it's worth grinding toward that early.
The Best Ways to Get Fons Fast
Here are the best ways to get Fons fast in NTE:
1. Open the Secret Vaults First
This is by far the fastest way to get a big chunk of Fons early on. There are 9 Secret Vaults hidden around Hethereau, and together they give you around 475,000 Fons total. You don't need to do anything complicated, just find them and crack them open.
Here's where to look and what you get:
| Location | How to Get There | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Pink Paws Bank HQ | Go to New Herland District, enter the bank, take the east stairs to the 2nd floor | 200,000 Fons |
| Midas Arc Workshop | Fast travel to ReroRero Phone Booth east of Crocodile Clock Avenue, take west stairs up | 100,000 Fons |
| Soleil Road Site (3rd Floor) | Phone Booth northwest of Soleil Road, take the lift up, watch out for enemies | 1,250 + 2,500 Fons |
| Soleil Road Site (Gap) | Jump from the lift side into the gap between 3rd and 2nd floor, lockpick it | 1,250 Fons |
| Soleil Road Site (2nd Floor) | Drop down from the gap, big safe but surrounded by enemies | 50,000 Fons |
| Miguel District Train Station | Go north from Miguel District Wertheimer Tower, find the warehouse behind the station | 50,000 + 1,250 Fons |
| Houdini's Schemes | Head to the far west of the Anomaly Zone, two boxes sitting in the open | 50,000 + 1,250 Fons |
| Nightmare-Bound Commission | Inside Nameless Hospital during the Anomaly Commission — tricky because of 4 different endings | Variable |
Do these the moment you unlock each area. They're free money with no stamina cost.
2. Do the Pink Paws Heist Every Week
Once you hit City Tycoon Level 10, you unlock the Pink Paws Heist. This lets you rob a bank for up to 1,000,000 Fons every week, completely free, no City Stamina needed.
You won't clear the full million in one go, but here's why it's great:
- No run limit, go in as many times as you want
- Keycards carry over between runs
- Each run takes about 7 to 8 minutes
- The vault resets weekly, so you can do this every week
If you're efficient, you can hit the cap in about an hour. That's one of the best returns on time in the whole game.
Here's a full Pink Paws Heist guide to help you complete it efficiently every week.
3. Play Super Sound for Quick Stamina Spending
If you want the most Fons per City Stamina point spent, Super Sound is your answer. Replay the last track, hit S-Rank, and you earn 20,000 Fons in about 2 minutes. It's simple, fast, and consistent. When you're looking to burn through your weekly City Stamina, this is the go-to method.
4. Set Up the Cafe by Origen
Don't overlook the Cafe by Origen. If you keep it stocked, it passively earns you Fons while you're not even playing. You don't need to do anything active, just make sure the cafe is running and restocked regularly. It's perfect for when you log off for the night.
Here's a full Cafe by Origen guide to help you maximize your business.
5. City Deliveries
City Deliveries are one of the better active ways to spend your City Stamina. Each delivery gives you around 10,000 to 16,000 Fons. They're faster and more consistent than Anomaly Commissions if your main goal is just Fons.
The downside is that they don't drop extra materials, but if you just need cash, deliveries are solid.
6. Level Up Your Oracle
Whenever you submit Oracle Stones to Blackbird at the Witch's House, leveling up at even-number intervals (Level 2, 4, 6, and so on) rewards you with 30,000 Fons each time.
You collect Oracle Stones passively just by playing, so this is basically free money. Just make sure you actually visit the Witch's Tower and claim your rewards.
7. Beat Mammon Every Week
After you finish the quest "Yarnball or Fons?", you unlock the Realm of Mammon. Defeat Mammon once a week for a Fons payout that scales with your level, maxing out at 100,000 Fons.
You trigger the fight by interacting with the Blind Mammon plushie in your property. Quick, weekly, and worth doing every reset.
8. Push Through Main and Side Quests
Main quests are one of the steadiest income sources early in the game. Some of them pay out over 80,000 Fons just for completing them, on top of EXP and upgrade materials.
Side quests and spin-offs also add up over time, even if they're less consistent. However, these eventually run out until new content drops, so treat them as a great early boost rather than a long-term plan.
9. Use Chiz's Hold Attack
If you're using Chiz, her hold basic attack can siphon Fons from enemies, once when you hit them, and again when they're defeated. There's a daily cap of 40,000 Fons and a total limit of 250,000 Fons, so it's not a permanent income source. Still, if you're grinding anyway, it's a nice bonus while it lasts.
10. Check the Exploration Guide and Footprint Points
The Exploration Guide rewards you passively as you explore the game, totaling around 392,000 Fons up to Phase 8. On top of that, reaching 900 Footprint Points in any section nets you 50,000 Fons.
These aren't the fastest methods, but since you'll be exploring naturally, the rewards just stack up on the side.
Managing Your City Stamina the Right Way
Your City Stamina refreshes once a week, and every point is worth exactly 1,000 Fons when you use it on hobbies like fishing, taxi routes, deliveries, or restaurant management. So if you have 100 City Stamina, that's a guaranteed 100,000 Fons per week.
To raise that ceiling, focus on increasing your City Tycoon level to bump up the maximum stamina cap. The higher your cap, the more you can earn each week without doing anything extra.
Should You Spend Real Money?
There are two options if you want to skip the grind:
- Riftcrystal Mining Pass — gives you 30,000 Fons daily, which adds up to 900,000 Fons per month
- Diversified Assets Pack — drops 1,000,000 Fons instantly
Well, this really depends on you. If you don’t mind spending real money, then it can be worth it. However, if you have to think twice before spending, then it’s probably not worth it. The in-game methods, especially Heists and Vaults, can eventually earn you the same amount anyway.
Final Thoughts
The trick to getting rich in Neverness to Everness is doing a bit of everything, actively. Start with the Secret Vaults for a fast early boost. Lock in the Pink Paws Heist every week once you hit Tycoon Level 10. Keep the Cafe running in the background and spend your City Stamina correctly for max efficiency.
Layer those habits together, and you’ll soon be living the lifestyle of the rich and famous, complete with fancy cars and everything that comes with it!
