Zankou, the Scarlet Letter swordswoman who headlines version 1.3 of Neverness to Everness, arrives with four alternate outfits on top of her default look, Fleeting Moment. Two cost nothing beyond playing the game, one is buried in the gacha’s pull counter, and one sits in the store at a discount that only lasts as long as the patch.
Quick answer: Pulling Zankou unlocks Red Nightshade instantly, Bond Level 10 grants Moonlit Courtyard, 200 pulls on her banner awards Autumn Vignette as a milestone reward, and Twilight Noir costs 1680 Riftcrystals in the Mall’s Fashion section while version 1.3 is live.
Every Zankou outfit and its unlock condition
| Outfit | Cost | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Red Nightshade | Free | Granted automatically when you pull Zankou |
| Moonlit Courtyard | Free | Reach Bond Level 10 with Zankou |
| Autumn Vignette | Gacha | Random drop from her banner, guaranteed at 200 pulls |
| Twilight Noir | 1680 Riftcrystals | Buy from the Fashion section of the Mall during 1.3 |
Twilight Noir: 1680 Riftcrystals only while 1.3 runs
This is the one purchase with a clock attached. Twilight Noir is an all-black look built around a leather mini-dress, a beret, gloves, and patterned stockings, and it is the only Zankou outfit sold directly for premium currency. The 1680 Riftcrystal tag is a launch discount tied to version 1.3. Once the patch ends, the outfit stays available but the price rises to 2480 Riftcrystals.
After the transaction goes through, the outfit stops showing a lock icon on Zankou’s Outfit screen and becomes selectable like any other skin.
Autumn Vignette: a gacha drop with a 200-pull safety net
Autumn Vignette swaps the sword-and-robe silhouette for a red off-shoulder knit sweater, high-waisted shorts, sheer stockings, and a beret. It drops from Zankou’s banner, so a lucky early pull can hand it over quickly. If luck does not cooperate, the outfit is also a milestone reward at 200 total pulls on that banner, which makes it the guaranteed floor rather than a pure coin flip.
The two free Zankou skins
Red Nightshade comes with the character
Red Nightshade is the white-and-crimson version of Zankou’s outfit worn during the main story, and it requires nothing beyond adding her to your roster. The moment she is pulled from the gacha, the outfit is added to her wardrobe. There is no quest, no shop entry, and no separate claim step.
Moonlit Courtyard needs Bond Level 10
The airy light blue and white loungewear set is locked behind maxing your relationship with Zankou. Bond experience comes from her hangout events and from gifting her items she likes, with favorite gifts giving noticeably more progress than generic ones. Her special hangout unlocks along the way at Bond Level 8, and clearing it pushes you toward the final level.
Note: Bond outfits are handed over automatically at Bond Level 10. If the skin is not showing up, the bond gauge has not actually crossed the threshold yet.
How to equip a Zankou outfit
Searing Lavender, Zankou’s summer outfit
Zankou is also getting a summer outfit called Searing Lavender, a black two-piece swimsuit with purple floral accents shown off during the 1.3 livestream. It is slated to be sold through the Mall alongside the other seasonal sets. No official release date or price has been confirmed for it yet.
If you are planning around a budget, the split is straightforward. Pulling her at all covers Red Nightshade, playing through her bond content covers Moonlit Courtyard, and the only decision that carries a real deadline is Twilight Noir, since waiting past version 1.3 adds 800 Riftcrystals to the bill.
