Region: Steam/PURPLE Global. NC’s October 28 product notice introduces the “Daeva Pass: Prelude to Flight.” It is a progression pass, separate from the 28-day attendance event announced the same day; their rewards and progress systems should not be treated as interchangeable.
Basic vs. Premium
The notice lists two tracks, each limited to one purchase per character:
| Track | Price | What the notice specifies |
|---|---|---|
| Prelude to Flight (Basic) | Free | Complete pass missions and claim rewards at each level |
| Prelude to Flight (Premium) | 1,000 Quna | Includes 20 bound Battle Enhance Scrolls and the corresponding premium rewards |
Pass missions grant experience up to level 50. Experience earned beyond level 50 can be used for repeatable rewards, and players may buy pass levels for 50 Quna each. Consider the premium track against the missions you realistically expect to finish and the items you actually want; the notice does not require a purchase to use the basic track.
How pass experience is earned
The official table assigns experience to several normal progression activities:
| Activity | Pass EXP |
|---|---|
| Defeat 10 monsters | 60 |
| Successful gathering | 30 |
| Successful crafting | 30 |
| Clear an Expedition or Transcendence | 300 |
| Successful gear enhancement | 10 |
| Successful gear extraction | 10 |
| Successful gear soul binding | 20 |
| Open a Hidden Cube | 50 |
The weekly cap is 15,000 pass EXP per character. Expeditions and Transcendence offer a larger single award, while gathering, crafting, and exploration can fill in progress during ordinary play. Do not spend enhancement materials solely to gain a small amount of pass EXP unless the gear action already fits your upgrade plan.
Dates and pass-shop coins
The pass opens after the October 28 maintenance and runs until the December 1 maintenance in Pacific time / December 2 maintenance in Central European time. Check the in-game Subscribe screen for the live schedule in your region.
The notice lists Season 1 Daeva Pass Shop Coins at levels 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37, 42, and 47, with 1,500 coins at each listed level. Check the in-game shop before spending them, since item prices and purchase limits can vary by item.
Do not confuse the pass end date with the removal date for its items. The notice says Small Odyle Energy, Unknown Fissure Challenge Tickets, and Nightmare Dungeon Challenge Tickets are removed on December 16, 2026 at 00:00 PST. Some rewards and shop coins have an earlier claim or use deadline tied to the December 15 maintenance.
