Nine Chronicles will distribute more than 4,000,000 NCG to players over the next two months to mark its sixth anniversary, the game’s team said in a post on X.
Arena accounts for the bulk of it at 3.2 million NCG. The rest is spread across 2x rewards, a Stage 500 mission, Monthly Spend Missions, Growth Boosts for new and returning players and an Adventurer’s Rune that every player receives.
Six Years of Nine Chronicles
Over 4,000,000 NCG is heading to players over the next two months!
Clear Stage 500 → 2,250 NCG
Monthly Spend Missions → Up to 9,200 NCG
Already cleared Stage 500? You're eligible too!
Missions live until Nov 30. Don't miss out,
Stage 500 and spend missions
Players who clear Stage 500 receive 2,250 NCG. Monthly Spend Missions pay up to 9,200 NCG in bonuses tied to in-game spending.
Players who cleared Stage 500 before the event started also qualify, the team said. Both missions run until Nov. 30.
Stage 500 is currently the last stage of the main campaign. An earlier update added stages 471 to 500, according to the game’s release notes. Those stages drop the materials used to craft Transcendence (Grade 8) equipment, and they support existing features such as Sweep.
Arena carries most of the pool
Heimdall Arena Season 25 went live Oct. 7 with 800K NCG up for grabs as part of the anniversary, the team said on X. Two days later, Odin Arena Championship #18 opened with another 800K NCG on the line.
That puts two 800K NCG arena events in play at the same time, one on each of the game’s chains. Heimdall launched with the mobile release, Nine Chronicles M, and runs alongside the original Odin chain.
The team hasn’t published a rank-by-rank reward breakdown or an end date for Heimdall Season 25.
October 20 update
The second phase of the anniversary arrives with an update on Oct. 20. It brings Hard World 2, a new Anniversary Dungeon and permanent Collections and Titles.
Hard World 2 is a much harder difficulty tier. To enter it, players need Catalyst Potions, which they earn through in-game activities.
Background
Planetarium Labs develops Nine Chronicles. The game is a free-to-play RPG built on Norse mythology, and it runs on its own network with NFT items and NCG as its in-game currency.
The anniversary event comes shortly after version 200490. That update added Grade 9 Ultimate items as the new top tier, along with a reworked Adventure Boss and the Bifrost Reforged event dungeon.
The Grade 9 release added four new Ultimate Runes, two for skills and two for stats. It also added four new Ultimate Auras and nine new Ultimate Grimoires, all available through Summon and Synthesis.
In a reply to its own anniversary post, the team linked to a guide on backing up private keys in Nine Chronicles M rather than to details of the event. The guide said that “there is no way to recover a lost private key, and no one can help you regain access to your assets once it’s gone.”
