Reverse: 1999 4.0 has ten days left, closing November 5 at 04:59. The best use of those days is not material farming but claiming the entire carnival welfare set: a guaranteed new six-star from the Wonder Invitation, a self-selected six-star from the crate friendship gift, twenty pulls from the sign-in event, ten from Falcon Sonata, plus the six-star Psychube from Coastline Pickings. All of it is one-time and expires. Applicable version: 4.0 (live 2026-09-24, ends 2026-11-05 04:59, 42 days total)

Reverse: 1999 4.0 welfare list: claim first, build later
4.0 is a carnival version, which historically carries the densest welfare of the year. The official event list includes the One Thousand and One Nights specials: the Wonder Invitation guaranteeing a new six-star on login, the crate friendship gift granting a self-selected six-star with Euphoria, the Strongest Note giving Star Thief's outfit, the Rhapsody Night granting another ten pulls with Clear Drops and a special building, and an outfit discount voucher; plus the carnival welfare of the Jukebox Collector's Master Disc, Falcon Sonata's ten pulls on login, the Gatekeeper sign-in for twenty pulls, and Coastline Pickings granting 37's exclusive Cocoon of Musings with a new six-star Psychube.
What expires and what does not
The first six items are login-claim only, meaning missed equals gone. Their shared trait is that they cost no resources at all, so the correct end-of-version behaviour is logging in daily to claim, not dumping all stamina into farming.
Where the new characters sit
4.0 adds two six-stars: Huntsman Witch Crossbow (DPS, Insight, from the Unwavering Navigator banner) and Drake (support, Afterglow and DPS, from the Banner of Existence flame, joining the permanent pool in 4.2), plus the four-star Gwendolyn from the same banner, also permanent from 4.2. Crossbow is the limited path and Drake becomes permanent, which is the whole argument about whether to pull Drake now.
Reverse: 1999 4.0 Psychubes: three acquisition routes
4.0 adds three six-star Psychubes with different routes. Standing on the Storm Ridge is exchangeable while the King's Jubilee Banquet is open; Direction of Fate becomes exchangeable in the Psychube Observation shop after October 15; Knowledge Unifies is available through Coastline Pickings.
Why Direction of Fate comes first
Because its window opened latest and is easiest to forget. It only became exchangeable after October 15, and today is October 26, so you have ten days of resources left to trade for it, while Coastline Pickings is a login gift that will not run away.
Ordering Psychubes against characters
Psychubes boost characters you already built, so decide which six-star you are actually playing before choosing. If Crossbow is your carry, spend on the offensive option; if you only do dailies, secure the timed exchange like Direction of Fate.
Reverse: 1999 4.0 compensation math: Clear Drops and Candy Jars
The official notice is explicit: maintenance compensation is 240 Clear Drops plus 1 Candy Jar; extended maintenance adds 60 Clear Drops plus 1 Candy Jar; bug-fix compensation is 180 Clear Drops. That totals 480 Clear Drops and 2 Candy Jars.
What 480 Clear Drops buys
480 Clear Drops is short of a ten-pull (exact per-pull pricing follows the in-game shop). Its purpose is topping up a shortfall rather than funding a pull session, so treat it as gap-filling rather than an extra ten-pull.
Whether to farm Insight 3 materials now
The official notice does not publish a full Insight material table for the 4.0 characters, so the in-game UI is authoritative. The judgment that does hold: Insight 3 is worth it only if you plan to use that character in current endgame, and if it is collection only, your stamina is better saved for the next version.
Reverse: 1999 4.0 Euphoria and the appearance system
4.0 unlocks Euphoria for 37, Beryl, Centurion and Matilda, and launches the Retrospective character appearance system, granting 37's and Semmelweis's past appearances for free.
Who benefits from Euphoria
Euphoria pulls older characters back to usable strength. The test is simple: do you already own those characters at high Insight. If yes, Euphoria pays off immediately; if not, do not pull characters purely to use it.
The appearance system is free
Retrospective claims are free and cost nothing. It is easy to overlook, but at the end of a version, free is the best rate available.
Reverse: 1999 4.0: how to schedule the last ten days
Work backwards from November 5 at 04:59, when every login welfare, the twenty-pull sign-in and the Psychube exchanges all close. That leaves October 26 through November 4 as ten full days, enough to log in daily and finish the current endgame.
Is ten minutes a day enough
Yes. Login welfare needs no combat: sign in, claim, exchange. What does need time is main story chapter fourteen and the side story Boat Metaphor, so if you have not pushed them, unlock the event entries first and argue about rewards later.
Reverse: 1999 4.0: should you pull Drake now
No need to rush. Drake joins the permanent pool in 4.2, meaning you can still get him after 4.0 closes, whereas Crossbow follows the limited path. So 4.0 currency should go to Crossbow and Drake can wait for the permanent pool.
Trade-offs by account type
New accounts should take Crossbow, since DPS with Insight is the most transferable role. Mid-game accounts missing an Afterglow support can fill it, but 4.2 is soon enough. End-game accounts should claim the free welfare and save pulls for the next featured character.

Reverse: 1999 4.0 action list
In practice the most common loss is a missed login welfare, especially the Psychube exchange that only opened after October 15. The reason to defer Drake to 4.2 is straightforward: he becomes permanent while Crossbow does not.
- Log in daily from today and claim every welfare item.
- Exchange Direction of Fate as soon as your resources allow.
- Claim the Coastline Pickings Psychube and 37's Cocoon of Musings.
- Push main story chapter fourteen and Boat Metaphor to unlock event entries.
- Spend pulls on Crossbow and wait for Drake in 4.2.
