Beetle Coins Farm Guide — How to Earn & Spend
Complete guide to earning Beetle Coins in NTE. Daily 20k, Fountain method, Intact Crate farming, Thug route 50-80k/hour, and HL40 savings plan.
What Are Beetle Coins?
Beetle Coins are NTE's primary gacha currency used for standard and limited character banners. They're also used in the Arc Research Program (weapon banner). Unlike Annulith (premium currency), Beetle Coins can be farmed extensively through gameplay. Understanding the best farming methods is essential for F2P players who want to maximize their pull count.
Daily Farm Methods (20k+ per day)
The most consistent source of Beetle Coins is daily content. Completing all daily tasks yields approximately 20,000 Beetle Coins per day, which adds up to 600,000+ per month. Prioritize these tasks every login.
- Daily Commission Board — 4 tasks × 2,500 = 10,000 Beetle Coins
- Anomaly Investigation — 3 runs × 2,000 = 6,000 Beetle Coins
- Daily Login Bonus — 2,000 Beetle Coins (auto-claimed)
- Co-op Challenge — 2,000 Beetle Coins (first clear of the day)
- Weekly Boss Challenge — 15,000 Beetle Coins (once per week, averages to ~2,100/day)
Fountain Method — Passive Income
The Fountain system in Nanally's territory generates passive Beetle Coins over time. Upgrade your Fountain to Level 3 for maximum output. Collect every 8 hours to avoid overflow. This method requires minimal effort and compounds over weeks.
- Fountain Level 1 — 5,000 Beetle Coins per 8 hours
- Fountain Level 2 — 8,000 Beetle Coins per 8 hours
- Fountain Level 3 — 12,000 Beetle Coins per 8 hours (36,000/day if collected 3×)
- Upgrade materials cost approximately 200,000 Beetle Coins — pays for itself in 6 days
Intact Crate Farming — Exploration Rewards
Intact Crates scattered across the open world contain Beetle Coins and other valuable materials. Each region has 50-80 crates. Use Jiuyuan's AoE pull skill to open clusters efficiently. This is a one-time source per region but yields significant amounts.
| Region | Crates | Average Beetle Coins | One-time Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sterry District | 50 | 3,000 each | 150,000 |
| Pink Paws Territory | 65 | 3,500 each | 227,500 |
| Hotta Industrial Zone | 80 | 4,000 each | 320,000 |
| Total (all regions) | 195+ | — | 697,500+ |
Thug Route — 50-80k per Hour
The most efficient repeatable farm method. Thugs (street enemies) respawn every 5 minutes and drop 500-1,200 Beetle Coins each. With a fast clear team like Sakiri (AoE pull) + Chiz (burst), you can clear 60-80 thugs per hour for 50,000-80,000 Beetle Coins.
HL40 Savings Plan — 2 Million Target
At Hunter Level 40 (HL40), you unlock the highest-tier content and need approximately 2,000,000 Beetle Coins saved for Ascension materials and Arc upgrades. Plan your spending carefully before reaching HL40.
| HL Threshold | Beetle Coins Needed | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| HL1-20 | 0 (story provides enough) | Spend freely on standard banner |
| HL20-30 | 200,000 reserve | Start saving, stop pulling standard |
| HL30-40 | 800,000 reserve | Focus farming, save for HL40 Ascension |
| HL40+ | 2,000,000 reserve | Spend on Ascension first, then pull |
Spending Priority Guide
Not all Beetle Coin spending is equal. Follow this priority order to maximize your account progression.
- 1. Character Ascension materials (highest priority at HL30+)
- 2. Limited banner pulls (when a top-tier character is featured)
- 3. Arc Research Program pulls (only for signature Arcs)
- 4. Standard banner pulls (only until 50-pull selector)
- 5. Shop refreshes (avoid unless whale)
