The Ebisu Auction House (also called Ebisu’s Auction) is one of the most valuable weekly features in Neverness to Everness. It offers exclusive rare items, ascension materials, Module upgrades, property enhancement resources, and high-demand consumables that cannot be obtained easily elsewhere. Checking it weekly is a key daily/weekly activity for efficient progression.
What is the Ebisu Auction House?
Ebisu Auction House is a player market-style auction system in Hethereau where inventory refreshes every week. Items are randomized, and bidding or direct purchase is available using Fons (the main currency). Some high-value materials for property upgrades, Modules, and character ascension appear exclusively here, making it essential for mid-game optimization.
How to Unlock the Ebisu Auction House
The Auction House unlocks automatically after progressing through the main story:
- Requirement: Complete Chapter 3 of the main story.
- One specific quest often mentioned is “Deal Deal” (or a related story mission in early chapters) that directly ties into unlocking the auction system.
Unlock Steps:
- Focus on the main storyline and push through Prologue and early Chapters without too much side-tracking.
- Once you finish Chapter 3, the Auction House becomes available.
- A short introductory cutscene or dialogue usually triggers when the system unlocks.
Many players recommend prioritizing the main quest to reach this point quickly, as the auction provides items useful for City Tycoon upgrades and property purchases.
