NTE City Tycoon: Fast Leveling Guide

City Tycoon isn't just about having fun side activities and obtaining Chiz. It's about account progression, unlocking more modes, earning Fons (money), and upgrading characters.

The main hook is to start gaining income (both passive and active) as early as possible, and staying ahead of the curve

The Goal and Milestones

• Player starts with 100 City Stamina at Tycoon Level 1, but increases every five levels.
• • Level 5: 200 Stamina
  • Level 10: 350 Stamina
• This is the key chase, spend your City Stamina and earn Fons in various way before the week ends, to reach a new milestone to gain more Stamina to spend and level more.
• In general, each new activity you unlock gives more Fons than previous one.
• At Tycoon level 4, you unlock the Coffee Shop for Passive Fons income.
• At Tycoon level 10, you unlock Pink Paws Heist, which grants good Fons at no stamina cost
• The ultimate goal is getting Chiz at level 18, her weapon at level 21, and eventually all her dupes at level 45 at endgame.

If you open City Tycoon from Main Menu and select "level up" you will be met the interface that shows what you need to level up.

• Earning Fons (The in-game money)
• Completing listed Tasks

And even after checking these two conditions, City Tycoon will not level up automatically. Player have to open the menu and press level up

If you press "Obtain" button, the game will suggest four basic ways to earn Fons, such as Hethereau Hobbies, and Anomaly Commissions. But it doesn't do much explaining beyond that. If you are looking for best way to level up City Tycoon in Neverness to Everness, this is the guide for you.

These are the task requirements for unlocking levels, and they work as a directional guide to where to go first. Tasks such as:

• Buy your first four-wheels car for 50k Fons
• Spending some City Stamina
• Open your Coffee Shop
• Buying apartment for 200k Fons
• Invite a Character to the apartment (Typically Mint)
• Activate Anomaly Furniture
• Completing side quest
• Leveling up Apartment Comfort and Shop Management
• Complete Exploration Guide

These are basically what you need to do on the first days in the game. And as you see, most of them are not automatic completion. But require the player to go and complete them, and have the Fons to back them up.

The Coffee Shop

This is the most stable passive Fons income, but it require paying attention to get the max out of it.

• Do everything to rush to Tycoon level 4 at start, and go invest in "The Cafe by Origen"
• Place two Employees, and level up their management skills at least once for higher income
• • Increase traffic
  • Increase dish price
• Press management and unlock all available recipes
• Change item(s) from the bottom and pick the highest price dish/beverage
• Press restock (make sure you are done selecting items first) and choose 24 hours, and press Restock
• • Don't go for 72 Hours as you shall unlock more recipes and change items every day
• Clear management Guide Tasks (At Top of the Shop UI) to earn one-time Fons Rewards.
• Every time you login to the game, check the Cafe, collect revenue, open management to unlock recipes, choose new items, and restock.
• Keep Investing in new shops as they become available.
• • Each new shop open more slots, to sell more items

City Stamina

• Don't spend all your City Stamina in one go on a single activity. Spread them early on, so you get faster levels, rewards, and achievements from various activities first.
• After doing every activity couple time, focus on what has greater Stamina-to-Fons Conversion Rate.
• • Swift Travel
  • Sea Angler

Open World Exploration

• There are five big Safes in the open world, you can picklock.
• • Each holding 100k Fons, for total 500k Fons.

Weekly Activity

Exploration Guide

• Prioritize the Tasks in Exploration Guide, especially the ones that are out of the way.
• • Combat Tutorial missions (including character tutorials). It's one overlooked task, that can withhold you at level 2 in Exploration guide forever, while your account can clear all tasks 4 levels higher.
  • Clear certain Material farming Domains.
  • You will know you have done good, when you clear everything beside the one task that's impossible at your current Hunter level (At level 6 it asks you to Reach level 40 with an Arc, which require Hunter level 20 and 2nd Ascension quest.

Use Chiz in Combat

• You unlock Chiz at Tycoon level 18.
• This sounds surprising, but merely attacking enemies with Chiz earn you Fons!

• The cap raises to 500k per day after reaching Tycoon level 25
