To get these free S-rank Arcs, it's better to unlock the Wertheimer Tower first. It opens up the full map and makes navigating to boss locations way easier. Also, once you hit Tycoon Level 6, you unlock a boss tracker feature that shows you the exact location of each boss with one click. Super useful for hunting these down.

Free Arcs From Anomaly Commissions

Five of the free Arcs come from Anomaly Commissions, which are special missions you can track through the map. Go to Map > Anomaly Commission and scroll to find the one you need.

• Increases the wearer's Redirect Skill DMG by 5% per cast while active, up to 2 stacks.

Head to Bridge Crossings and find the Headless Rider anomaly location. Set your in-game time to past midnight, then drive toward the tunnel (not by riding a motorcycle, it has to be a car). The Headless Rider will spawn, you follow him, and that starts the boss fight. Beat him and the Arc is yours.

Raging Flames is Hathor's signature Arc. The stats are solid, too. It gives 24% CRIT Damage at level 80, plus a 15% Lakshana damage boost and strong redirect skill buffs after using your ultimate.

This Arc is made for Haniel. While she's off-field, your active character gains up to 18% extra attack. On-field, she can stack up to 32% Psyche damage through basic attacks alone.

Also in New Herland, teleport to the ReroRero Phone Booth, and head up the stairs to the main road. Go straight, then turn left at the gas station. You'll see a tall building. Climb it from the back where a billboard gives you a rest point to recover stamina.

Climb all the way to the railing at the top, then go up the stairs to start the Call of the Lost Anomaly Commission and defeat the Nestbound Bird boss. This Arc isn't particularly strong on current characters, so don't stress over it right now.

• Increases the wearer's Attachment DMG by 10%.

Follow the road to the intersection, turn left, and drive through the Nautili Tunnel. Keep driving on the water road without stopping until the cutscene kicks in.

You need to complete Deep Blue Sorrow and take down the Sea Prisoner boss. This Arc doesn't fit many current characters well, so there's no rush.

You get 45% ATK, 18% Charge Efficiency, and a 10–16% Team Attack Buff after Sakiri's ultimate. It's the best free support Arc in the game.

Arc NameTypeATKSubstatEffect Summary

Your Happiness is Priceless

Visit Nacupeda's Pool, located near Davidia Avenue in southwest Illusion Town. Interact with the fountain and select "Make a Sincere Wish" in the dialogue.

You can make a wish once per day to earn Mhm! Coins. Collect 100 of them, then go to Mall > Arc Shop > Arc Exchange to buy this Arc. It boosts HP by 24%, so it works best on characters who scale with HP.

Day Off

Arc NameTypeATKSubstatEffect Summary

Day Off
Solid512Charge Efficiency +33%• Increases wearer's ATK by 30%.
• Unlocks Arc: Eclipse.
• Arc: Eclipse — The wearer creates a 40s Eclipse.
During the Eclipse, each enemy defeated restores 6 Ultimate Energy, up to 5 times.
• Cooldown: 300s.

You need to complete a secret quest tied to the Eclipse NPC at the Bureau of Anomaly Control. It's easy to miss if you're not paying attention, so look it up separately once you're ready for it. This one has multiple steps, so follow carefully.

Step 1

Teleport to the Bureau of Anomaly Control. Look to your right for Eclipse NPC. She only talks to you if it's between 8 AM and 12 PM in sunny weather, so adjust your clock if needed. Talk to her until her dialogue repeats.

Step 2

Set the clock two days forward, still between 8 AM and 12 PM, and make sure the weather is sunny (you can change it at the bottom of the clock menu). Then teleport to the Eibon phone booth, go right toward the Film Orbit Studio, climb to the top, and talk to Eclipse.

Step 3

Teleport to the Wertheimer Tower close to Davidia Avenue, and find the Oops! Chest Gift Shop building. Climb it from the right side and talk to Eclipse at the top.

Step 4

Go back to the Eibon phone booth and head toward the train station. Keep going forward and you'll spot Eclipse in the distance.

Step 5

Head to the Red Bridge and climb all the way to the top. If you have Nanally, she can run straight up. Otherwise, rest midway to recover stamina. Eclipse is waiting at the very top.

Step 6

Teleport back to the Bureau of Anomaly Control and talk to Eclipse one final time. She hands you the Arc as a reward.

The Day Off Arc gives 30% ATK and summons an actual eclipse for 49 seconds during combat, restoring 6 ultimate energy up to five times while it's active. It's Esper Zero's signature weapon and probably the coolest free Arc in the game.

Stellar Veil

Arc NameTypeATKSubstatEffect Summary

Stellar Veil
Plasma512ATK +27.5%• Increases the wearer's Psyche DMG by 12%.
• Increases Crit DMG dealt by 2.00% for 5s when dealing Psyche DMG, up to 10 stacks.
Triggers at most once every 0.1s

Log in for 10 consecutive days during the Beginner Login Event and you get this Arc automatically on Day 10. It's Aurelia's best-in-slot weapon, giving 12% Psyche Damage and up to 20% CRIT Damage through 10 stackable buffs.

Hethereau's Keeper

Arc NameTypeATKSubstatEffect Summary

Hethereau's Keeper
Solid512ATK +27.5%• Increases ATK by 15%.
• Increases damage dealt to Bosses by 15%.
• Unlocks Arc: Officer Whisker.
• Arc: Officer Whisker — Summons Officer Whisker to assist in combat.
• Officer Whisker continuously attacks enemies, dealing 1% of the wearer's ATK as damage per hit.
Lasts 30s.
• Cooldown: 60s.

This is the hardest one on the list. You need to reach maximum Wanted Level (5 stars) by fighting police officers and keeping the heat going until the Justice Executioner spawns. It's a Level 99 boss that hits extremely hard and will one-shot you if you make a single mistake.

Once you somehow beat it, visit the Security Office to claim the Arc. It gives 15% Attack and summons a companion that fights alongside you for 30 seconds. It's not best-in-slot for anyone specific right now, but it's a fun one to have.

How to Get Arcs Extra Copies to Increase Mixing Level

Duplicates raise your Arc's Mixing level for better stats. Here's how to get more copies:

  • Five Arcs are available at the Arc Shop using 25 Tri-Keys each (up to four extra copies):
    • Blow Up the Crowd
    • Day Off
    • Tears Beneath the Mask
    • Eternal Waltz
    • Song of the Whale
  • Five others can drop from the Arc weapon banner:
    • Reality Refuge
    • Youthful Fantasy
    • Good Boy's Grand Adventure
    • Camellia Society
    • Raging Flames
  • You can also pick up one Arc per month from the Hunter Exchange using 25 Tri-Keys.

The best thing about this is that you will find no shortage of free S-rank Arcs in Neverness to Everness. Whether you're pushing through the main story, clearing Anomaly Commissions, or grinding City Tycoon levels, the game rewards you with powerful weapons along the way. Work through this list at your own pace and you'll have a loaded collection without spending a thing.
