I walk the rain-slicked, neon-drenched streets of New Eridu, and the city hums with a promise. It’s a siren song woven from the static of old televisions and the rhythmic pulse of arcade cabinets, a promise whispered not in my ear, but directly into the rhythm of my own heartbeat. The developers have cast a net of 100 free pulls into the digital ether—a generous, shimmering lure for any Proxy navigating this urban fantasy. Yet, this bounty isn't a treasure chest simply waiting to be kicked open; it is a city itself, a labyrinth of commitments and daily pilgrimages I must undertake to map its every corner and claim its hidden wealth. Each login, each quest completed, is another streetlight flickering to life in my personal district of this promise.
This journey is my Road to Proxy Greatness, a path paved not with gold, but with the incremental glow of the Inter-Knot. To reach the zenith of this offering, I must ascend to Levels 25 and 30, each milestone feeling less like a checkpoint and more like unlocking a new, resonant frequency in the city's core. The Cunning Generosity event is a cryptic alleyway I must find and decipher. Then, for seven days, my presence must be as regular as the neon signs cycling through their colors during the New City Visitor’s Passport and Sixth Street Giveaway. It's a pact, a daily ritual of engagement. The reward? A trove that materializes from the aether: 1600 Polychrome sparkling like condensed city light, 70 Master Tapes humming with potential, and 10 Encrypted Master Tapes holding secrets yet unknown. Together, they coalesce into the fabled 100 pulls—a symphony of chance waiting for my conductor's baton.
But the city's generosity extends beyond the main currency. There are the Boopoons, 80 in total, a currency that feels purer, untarnished by real-world exchange. They are like the forgotten melodies of a music box, scattered and waiting to be reassembled into a companion. Five came as a greeting gift, a handshake from the city. Sixty-five more are the city's tribute for reaching that pivotal Inter-Knot Level 30, a shower of confetti after a hard-won battle. The final ten require another seven-day vigil, a test of patience after the Eh-Nah Into Your Lap Event on July 24th. This currency has a singular, delightful purpose: to summon the adorable, loyal Bangboo. While the Master Tapes call forth human (or not-so-human) allies, the Boopoons are for summoning these mechanical familiars, adding another layer of charm and strategy to my crew.
I understand the design, the elegant machinery behind this staggered generosity. It is HoYoverse's masterstroke against the ancient gacha ritual of rerolling. By spreading the wealth across the tapestry of early-game progression, they ensure that my account, my identity in New Eridu, gains weight and history. Starting over would be like trying to reread a novel by only skimming the first chapter repeatedly—I'd never feel the narrative's pull, never build a connection to the world and its characters. This system encourages me to plant roots, to invest not just time, but a piece of my narrative into this digital metropolis.

️ My Toolkit for the Ascent
To navigate this path efficiently, I've learned to focus on:
-
Daily Commissions & Exploration: Treating every mission like collecting a piece of the city's soul.
-
Story Progression: Pushing the main narrative is the fastest river current to carry me toward those Inter-Knot levels.
-
Event Participation: No bulletin board notice is too small; every event is a potential shortcut or a hidden cache of resources.
-
Resource Management: Spending my stamina wisely, ensuring my progression is as steady as a metronome's beat.
As of 2025, my journey continues across the platforms where New Eridu has opened its gates: PS5, PC, and mobile. The city's skyline might yet expand; whispers of future ports to other consoles like Switch and Xbox are like rumors of new subway lines—plausible, exciting, but timetables remain unseen. For now, my reality is here, in this vibrant, demanding, and rewarding urban sprawl. The 100 free pulls were never just a gift. They were an invitation to a dance, a complex, weeks-long rhythm I had to learn step-by-step. And in learning it, I didn't just earn currency; I earned my place in the city. The final reward was not the pulls themselves, but the feeling that the city's neon had begun to recognize my shadow.
