Zankou is one of the upcoming S-Class characters for Neverness to Everness Version 1.3, and players planning to pull her can already start preparing most of her character and skill materials. Current pre-farm information points to the Numeral material line, Nest Guard Fragment, the First Expectations skill-material line, and Eternal Memory as her main development resources.

If you normally play the PC version of NTE, farming all of these materials can take plenty of repeated sessions. OSLink lets you remotely access your NTE PC session from your phone, so you can continue farming, spend stamina, or check your progress without staying in front of your computer. This is especially useful when preparing a character before their banner arrives.

Total Zankou Prefarm Materials

For players who want to prepare both Zankou's character progression and her main ability materials in advance, the current pre-farm checklist is:

These totals for the three Numeral materials, Nest Guard Fragments, and main skill materials are also used in current community pre-farm checklists.

Zankou Ascension Materials

For character breakthrough alone, Zankou follows the familiar six-stage progression from Level 20 through Level 70.

The most important material here is Nest Guard Fragment ×86. It is specifically used as a character ascension material and can be obtained from the Nestbound Bird / Anomaly Hunt: Call of the Lost.

The Numeral materials are lower-tier general development resources that continue to appear in Zankou's wider upgrade requirements, so farming only the 17/18/15 needed for breakthrough is not enough if you plan to build her abilities immediately.

Zankou Skill Materials

Zankou's main ability upgrades use the First Expectations material family together with Eternal Memory.

First Expectations, Known Weariness, and Black Hat belong to the same ability-enhancement material line. First Expectations and Known Weariness can be farmed through Houdinii's Schemes, while Black Hat can also be obtained there and through the Hunter Exchange or Synthesis.

Among these resources, Eternal Memory ×35 deserves special attention because it is tied to higher-level character development and comes from the Debt Collector in Anomaly Pilgrimage.

Zankou Signature Arc Materials

Zankou's Signature S-Rank Arc, Ravenous Blade, uses the Spiral Tune material line together with Numeral materials for Ascension. If you plan to pull both Zankou and her Signature Arc, these resources are worth preparing alongside her character materials.

The Beaty → Versey → Harmony material line comes from Bubble Can – Spiral Tune, while the three Numeral tiers are also shared with Zankou's character progression. This means players building both Zankou and Ravenous Blade should continue farming Numerals even after finishing her character Ascension requirements.

Where to Farm Zankou Materials

Nest Guard Fragment's source and the three Numeral drops are already documented in current item databases, while Eternal Memory is confirmed as a Debt Collector reward.

Best Zankou Material Farming Priority

If you do not have enough stamina or time to farm everything at once, use this order:

1. Nest Guard Fragment ×86

This is Zankou's main character-specific Ascension material. You cannot fully raise her level cap without it, so it should be the first major target.

2. Eternal Memory ×35

Eternal Memory comes from the Debt Collector and is one of the more restricted materials in the list. Farming it gradually is better than leaving all 35 until the end.

3. Numeral Materials

You eventually need 57 Blurred Numerals, 61 Unsolved Numerals, and 80 Distorted Numerals across the current prefarm checklist. Their large total quantity makes them another good resource to start gathering early.

4. First Expectations Material Line

After the character breakthrough materials are under control, prepare 40 First Expectations, 40 Known Weariness, and 64 Black Hats for ability upgrades.

Conclusion

The main materials to prepare for Zankou are 86 Nest Guard Fragments, 35 Eternal Memories, the three Numeral tiers, and the First Expectations skill-material line. Starting with the boss materials will prevent the biggest bottlenecks, while Numerals can be collected steadily alongside regular exploration and farming.

If you mainly play Neverness to Everness on PC, OSLink can also let you access that PC session from your phone, making it easier to continue farming Zankou's materials or manage daily progress when you are away from your desk.
