How to Increase Bond in NTE
There are several ways to raise Bond Levels in NTE, but some methods are far more efficient than others. If you want to level affinity quickly, you should focus on daily gift usage, passive Fluffy Cloud farming, and interaction-based activities. Below are all major ways to increase Bond in NTE.
Give Favorite Gifts
The fastest and most reliable way to increase Bond Levels in Neverness to Everness is by giving characters their favorite gifts. Preferred gifts provide significantly more Affinity than normal items, making them the core of efficient Bond farming.
Each character can receive up to 3 gifts daily, with a total account-wide limit of 10 gifts per day.

Fully maxing a character requires around 56,000 total Affinity, so reaching Bond Level 10 is a fairly long-term grind. Progression speed depends heavily on the gifts you use, your Fluffy Cloud generation, apartment interactions, and overall daily consistency.
As a rough estimate:
-
Mostly using 100 Affinity gifts can take around 5–6 months
-
Mostly using 200 Affinity gifts can take around 2–3 months
-
Mostly using 400 Affinity gifts can take around 1–1.5 months
When choosing gifts, always prioritize Affinity value over item rarity. Some cheaper gifts provide the exact same Bond points as more expensive items, making them far more cost-efficient for long-term farming. Gifts such as Spicy Snack, Mouth Custard, Whole Wheat Bread, Crave Bites, and Bob’s Tea are currently some of the best overall value options for regular daily progression.
You should also avoid using duplicate gacha items as gifts unless you spend heavily, since they are extremely expensive and usually provide poor long-term value compared to normal Affinity items.
Before heavily investing in gifts, make sure to upgrade the Main Character Life Skill first, as it increases Affinity gained from gifting and greatly improves overall Bond efficiency.
AFK Anywhere, Progress Anytime
Go on Dates and Character Interactions
As your Bond Level increases, characters unlock additional date activities, interaction scenes, and special hangout events that provide extra Affinity points. These interactions can happen during dates, Home Time activities, apartment visits, and other character events throughout the game.
Activities such as:
-
Hand-holding
-
Hangouts
-
Home Time
-
Sleeping interactions
-
Special dialogue scenes
can all reward additional Bond progress, with most Home Time interactions giving around 100 Affinity. Some events are repeatable daily activities, while others are one-time interaction rewards tied to specific Bond milestones or Memory Theater progression.
Currently, only certain characters can be invited to apartments for extended interaction activities.
Complete Memory Theater Encounters
Characters occasionally appear on the world map with special encounter icons. Talking to them unlocks Memory Theater events and small side stories that reward additional Bond points.
These encounters are one-time activities, but they provide a solid amount of Affinity progression. Memory Theater interactions typically reward around 200 Affinity.
Use the Prayer Tree Daily
The Fortune Shades Prayer Tree is another easy source of free daily Bond progress in Neverness to Everness. You can find it in the southeast area of the New Homeland District, where players are able to pray at night after purchasing a Prayer Plaque from the nearby NPC vendor. Once used, the Prayer Tree grants Affinity to a random character, making it a simple supplemental source of Bond EXP that is worth doing daily because of its relatively low cost.
Currently, the Prayer Tree can only be used once per day, and the Affinity reward is completely random. While it is not the fastest Bond farming method in NTE, it still provides steady long-term progression when combined with gifts, Fluffy Clouds, and apartment interactions.
Trigger Swift Travel Passenger Events
While using Swift Travel (the taxi system), there is a chance one of your owned characters becomes a passenger. Completing the ride successfully rewards small amounts of Bond points for that character.
This is not a reliable farming method, but it provides extra passive Affinity while completing normal activities around the city.
NTE Furniture & Fluffy Cloud Optimization Guide
Fluffy Clouds are one of the best long-term Bond farming methods in Neverness to Everness because they generate passive Affinity automatically through the apartment furniture system. After placing furniture and increasing your apartment Comfort Level, your properties will begin generating Fluffy Clouds over time, giving you a steady source of free Bond progression with very little maintenance.
Fluffy Clouds are especially valuable because they:
-
generate passive Affinity automatically
-
can be stored for up to 7 days
-
work for every character
-
reduce the need to constantly buy gifts
-
provide excellent long-term value for free-to-play players
Because of how consistent they are, Fluffy Clouds become one of the most efficient ways to steadily raise Bond Levels over time.
How to Increase Comfort Efficiently
Comfort Level increases through furniture placement, and the higher your Comfort becomes, the better your Fluffy Cloud generation gets. Current testing shows that every 1,000 funds spent on furniture provides roughly 2 Comfort, making apartment progression heavily tied to your overall fund income.
The most important Comfort milestones to know are:
-
Around 800 Comfort effectively maximizes Fluffy Cloud generation
-
Comfort progression is shared across all apartments
-
Furniture variety is generally better than buying duplicates
-
New furniture pieces help progress your Furniture Collection Index for extra rewards
Because Comfort is shared between properties, you do not need to fully decorate every apartment individually. This makes furniture progression far cheaper and easier to manage than it initially appears.
Best Furniture Strategy
For most players, furniture should be prioritized before heavily investing in expensive premium Affinity gifts. While high-end gifts can level Bond faster, Fluffy Clouds provide much better long-term value because they continuously generate passive Bond EXP every day.
The best overall strategy is to:
-
steadily build toward 800 Comfort
-
collect Fluffy Clouds consistently
-
use efficient favorite gifts daily
-
combine passive farming with interactions and Memory Theater activities
In simple terms, the system works like this:
Funds → Furniture → Comfort → Fluffy Clouds → Bond EXP
Once your furniture setup is established, Bond farming becomes much more efficient and sustainable compared to relying entirely on expensive gifts.
Conclusion
The Bond system in Neverness to Everness is one of the most rewarding long-term progression systems in the game, offering character outfits, profile cosmetics, interactions, passive rewards, and small stat boosts through Affinity progression. By using favorite gifts, farming Fluffy Clouds efficiently, upgrading your Main Character Life Skill early, and staying consistent with daily interactions, you can significantly speed up Bond progression over time. With OSLink, you can manage your daily Bond farming routine more flexibly by remotely accessing your Neverness to Everness PC session from your phone, making it easier to keep progressing without being tied to your setup.
