Next, you can start the Going, Going, Gone event in NTE. Each Auction will consist of 5 rounds, where players have to bid against each other.

During each Auction’s round, you need to bid based on the collectibles’ estimated value and place your bid to either win it or confuse other players. Your Auction Assistant and Device Set will help you make that collectibles estimate based on what you choose.

If you confuse another player to bid very high on collectibles of low value, each participant beside the highest bidder will get 10% of their bid. This essentially makes them lose by bidding high. They may get the collectibles, but you’ll get the extra Golden Shells in NTE.

However, this is not the only way you can win the Treasure Ship Auction. You can also do the following to win during each round:

  • Round 1: Bid more than double the 2nd-highest bid.
  • Round 2: Bid more than 1.6X the 2nd-highest bid.
  • Round 3: Bid more than 1.3X the 2nd-highest bid.
  • Round 4: Bid more than 1.1X the 2nd-highest bid.
  • Round 5: The highest bidder wins all lots.

It should be noted, that there are 3 Auction venues to choose from. Each cost a different amount for participating, which are:

Auction VenueEntry feeAsset Requirements

Coral Hall5,000 Golden Shell1,000,000 Golden Shell
Pearl Hall20,000 Golden Shell5,000,000 Golden Shell

What Happens in Case of a Tie During the Treasure Ship Auction?

In case of a tie during the Going Going Gone event, the bidders enters a 6th round, where only the tied players in the previous round participate. The highest bidder win, but in case of another tie, the Auction ends with no sale.

Any collectibles you win during the Auction will be moved to your collection warehouse. You can choose to sell or display these collectibles. The displayed items will generate income over time, while the sold ones will give you more Golden Shells in Neverness to Everness.

What to Do if You Lose All Your Bidding Funds?

If you lost all of your Golden Shells during the Going, Going, Gone event, don’t fret as you can use the Safety Funds to get back on your feet. Use the funds wisely, as you can only rely on it 5 times a day.

To use the Safety Funds, do the following:

  • Have below 100,000 Golden Shells.
  • Press the the Safety Funds at the screen’s top right corner.
  • Click confirm.
  • Join back on the fun.
