Neverness to Everness runs its gacha through Scarborough Fair, a dice-and-board system that uses Chuppa pieces to determine rewards on the Limited Board and the Standard Board. Every pull costs 160 Annulith, or 1,600 Annulith for a 10-pull, and the headline for anyone chasing a featured unit is simple: there is no 50/50 system here.
On the Limited Board, the base S-class character rate is 1.87% per roll, while the combined A-class rate for characters and Arcs is 22.98%. Every 10 pulls adds a guaranteed A-class item, and any S-class character drawn from that board is the featured one. That matters because the Limited Board carries the time-limited characters, while the Standard Board draws from the permanent pool, even though the two share the same core mechanics and pity rules.
The pity structure is where Scarborough Fair starts to separate itself from a simple ticket system. Hard pity lands at 90 pulls, but the game does not wait that long to improve the odds. If a player reaches 70 pulls without an S-class character, Board Modification triggers and lifts the S-class rate from 1.87% to 19.59%, while also turning certain board tiles into S-class character tiles. If someone stops at 65 pulls and the board ends, that progress carries over to the next Limited Board for the same character, which then starts at 65/90 and reaches Board Modification five pulls later.
What does not carry over is just as important. Progress toward the 200-pull cosmetic reward does not transfer to a different character’s board when a banner ends, although it does save for a rerun of the same banner. The cosmetic track is separate from character pity, so it does not count toward the S-class guarantee or interfere with it, and it pays out on its own schedule: a glider skin at 50 pulls, a vehicle skin at 120 pulls and a character outfit at 200 pulls.
That last reward is the rarest item in the system, with a 0.33% base rate that rises to 0.68% after pity activates. For players, the real answer is not whether Scarborough Fair is generous on paper, but how much of it can be banked across runs. On the character side, the system is unusually direct: 90 pulls guarantees the featured S-class on the Limited Board, and the Standard Board follows the same pity mechanics while staying fixed to the permanent character pool.
