Neverness to Everness is surprisingly generous when it comes to free weapons. The game lets you build a solid weapon collection just by playing the game. Arcs are the weapon system in NTE. Every character equips one Arc disk that boosts their stats and activates a unique passive effect in combat. S-Rank Arcs are the highest rarity, and the good news is that every standard S-Rank Arc in the game can be obtained at least once for free. This article will guide the player on how to obtain each S-Rank Arc in NTE.
