Neverness to Everness (NTE) features many hidden gems in the city of Hethereau that provide consistent daily rewards and long-term progression boosts. The Blackbird Witch House (also called the Witch’s House) is one of the most useful early-game locations. It serves as a hub for submitting Oracle Stones, receiving daily fortunes, and earning valuable resources like Annulith, Hunter EXP, and Fons.
What is the Blackbird Witch House?
The Witch House is a small, unassuming building where you meet the mysterious NPC Blackbird (the Blackbird Witch). Here, you can:
- Submit Oracle Stones (collectible crow/fortune items found across the map) for milestone rewards.
- Get one free Daily Divination (fortune) every day.
- Progress a hidden Divination Level system that improves your overall gains.
This spot is highly recommended as part of your daily routine, alongside cafe management and other commissions.
Exact Location of the Witch House
The Blackbird Witch House is located in the Bridge Crossings area, very close to the starting regions.
How to Find It:
- Start from Wertheimer Tower (one of the early unlockable towers in Bridge Crossings).
- Head southwest from the tower.
- Alternatively, look south of Hankaku Street / near Fox Window Street.
- On the map, you will see a distinctive purple fortune ball / crystal icon marking the house once you get close.
It is easy to miss if you’re rushing through the main story, so keep an eye on side paths and alleys in this district. The house itself has a slightly eerie, mystical exterior with crow motifs.
How to Unlock and Access the Witch House
The Witch House becomes accessible quite early:
- Progress through the main story until you unlock the Bridge Crossings area and Wertheimer Tower.
- No special quest is required — simply walk up to the house and enter.
- Inside, you will trigger a short introduction cutscene with Blackbird.
- After that, you can freely interact with her by selecting the “Oracle” option from the dialogue menu.
Once unlocked, the location stays permanently available.
Daily Divinations Explained
Every day, you can receive one free fortune from Blackbird. This is a quick daily check-in that provides one of three rotating benefits:
| Fortune | Effect |
|---|---|
| Lost Tales | Reveals a short hidden side quest. Completing it gives extra materials, Annulith, or resources. |
| Bless | Grants a combat buff to all your characters for the rest of the day (increased damage, defense, or other stats). |
| Treasure Hunt | Pins the exact location of one Oracle Stone on your map, helping you farm more efficiently. |
How to Get Your Daily Fortune:
- Go to the Witch House.
- Talk to Blackbird.
- Select the divination/fortune option.
- Receive your daily result instantly.
There is no cost, so make this a habit every login. The Treasure Hunt option is especially useful for new players struggling to find Oracle Stones.
Oracle Stones: How to Farm and Submit
Oracle Stones are small collectibles scattered throughout Hethereau. They often appear as glowing crow encounters or near combat challenges and exploration points.
Farming Tips:
- Explore alleys, rooftops, and side streets in Bridge Crossings, New Herland District, and other early areas.
- Complete “Gift from ’21’” chests and anomaly-related side activities.
- Use the Treasure Hunt fortune daily to get a guaranteed pin.
- Some stones are tied to minor environmental interactions or defeating nearby enemies.
How to Submit:
- Return to the Witch House and talk to Blackbird.
- Choose the Oracle option.
- Submit all your Oracle Stones in one batch on the dedicated screen.
Submitting stones increases your Divination Level (up to Level 10) and grants milestone rewards.
Rewards from Submitting Oracle Stones
Turning in Oracle Stones provides cumulative rewards at specific milestones:
- Annulith (key progression currency)
- Hunter Level EXP (helps raise your Hunter Rank)
- Fons (in-game currency)
- VitalMax Energy Bar
- Anomaly Material Selection Boxes
- Other consumables and resources
Higher Divination Levels improve the quality and quantity of rewards. Reaching higher milestones (such as submitting 140 stones total for Level 10) unlocks significant bonuses, including an Oracle Crystal at certain thresholds (e.g., 12 stones).
Why Visit the Blackbird Witch House Daily?
- Zero-cost daily buff or quest via divination.
- Efficient way to convert exploration collectibles into useful progression materials.
- Boosts Hunter Rank, which unlocks better Anomaly Hunts, commissions, and content.
- Complements other dailies like City Tycoon cafe management and Participation Tasks.
Pro Tips:
- Combine your visit with nearby exploration to farm Oracle Stones in the same trip.
- Prioritize Treasure Hunt when you need more stones quickly.
- Submit stones in batches when you have accumulated a good number rather than one by one.
- Check the house daily even if you have no stones — the free fortune is always worth it.
The Blackbird Witch House is a low-effort, high-reward activity that fits perfectly into any player’s daily loop in Neverness to Everness. Whether you need a combat buff for tough Anomaly Hunts, extra Annulith for ascension, or help locating collectibles, Blackbird has something valuable to offer.
Make the short trip southwest of Wertheimer Tower part of your routine and watch your early-game progression accelerate smoothly.
Happy divining in the streets of Hethereau!
