Hunter Level (also tied to Appraisal Level) is one of the most important progression systems in Neverness to Everness (NTE). Raising it unlocks higher character level caps, new activities, story progression, Tycoon features, and more. This guide breaks down the fastest ways to level up, with clear locations and tips for side quests, phone booths, and daily tasks.
Why Hunter Level Matters
Increasing your Hunter Level directly raises the cap on your Espers’ levels, unlocks city features, and progresses the main story. Many players get stuck around Hunter Level 20–24 without focusing on side content.
Best Ways to Raise Hunter Level Fast
1. Progress the Main Story
The main quests provide the biggest chunks of Hunter EXP. Always prioritize story progression when possible, as it naturally leads to new areas and activities.
2. Complete Side Quests
Side quests are marked by blue and white exclamation marks on the map. They offer excellent Hunter EXP, Fons, materials, and more.
- Check the Exploration Guide for a full list of available side quests per district.
- Many become available after unlocking Wertheimer Towers and progressing the prologue.
- Rewards often include 300–400+ Hunter EXP per quest.
Tip: Clear side quests in between main story chapters or when you hit a level gate.
3. Unlock ReroRero Phone Booths
Phone booths are one of the easiest and most efficient ways to gain passive Hunter EXP early on.
- Each unlocked phone booth gives 50 Hunter EXP.
- They also add fast travel points across Hethereau.
- Look for them while exploring — many are near roads, districts, or points of interest.
- Aim to unlock all available booths in each district for steady EXP gains.
4. Finish Daily and Weekly Tasks (Circle Bounty)
Log in every day and complete your Circle Bounty tasks. These reset daily and provide consistent Hunter EXP.
Common dailies include:
- Logging into the game
- Completing City Commissions
- Using stamina on activities
- Clearing simple dungeons or commissions
Weekly tasks and City Tycoon activities (races, deliveries, cafe management) also contribute heavily.
5. Additional Fast Methods
- Wertheimer Towers — Unlocking towers reveals the map and often grants EXP.
- Anomaly Zones & Pilgrimages — Clear these for big rewards.
- City Tycoon Level — Raise it through property management and commissions for bonus progression.
- Spend Character Pixels daily for extra EXP.
Hunter Level Progression Tips
- Combine activities: Explore while unlocking phone booths and picking up side quests.
- Use the Exploration Guide (often accessible via the map or menu) to track progress and see remaining objectives.
- Focus on City Tycoon upgrades early — they unlock powerful weekly activities like heists.
- If stuck on story, grind side quests, dailies, and exploration content.
Raising Hunter Level efficiently keeps your team strong and unlocks the full open-world experience in Hethereau. Prioritize dailies every login, clear side content, and explore thoroughly.
