If you searched for **NTE Relax Time**, the important question is usually not the quest reward. It is whether the Main Quest has appeared, whether the rest objective is complete, and why **Circle Bounty** is still missing.
The official Version 1.2 patch notes state that the current Circle Bounty Guide requires completion of the Main Quest **“Relax Time.”** The notes do not publish the quest sequence, a universal Hunter Level requirement, a walkthrough, or a guaranteed fix for a missing unlock.
Quick answer
Use the visible state in your client:
- **Relax Time is not visible:** continue the tracked Main Quest. Do not grind a guessed level gate.
- **Relax Time is active:** follow the live quest marker. Community sources place the quest in Prologue II and describe a rest step at Eibon.
- **You completed the rest step:** finish the next story transition, then reopen the event or Circle Bounty screen.
- **The quest is complete but Circle Bounty is missing:** confirm the same account and server, run one clean title-screen re-entry, then save a report instead of repeating unrelated fixes.

What is officially confirmed
The official Version 1.1 and Version 1.2 update notes both list the same requirement:
- Circle Bounty requires completion of the Main Quest **“Relax Time.”**
- The Version 1.2 Circle Bounty window is listed as July 8 after the update through August 18, 2026 at 23:59 (UTC+8).
- Circle Quests provide Experience Points used to raise Circle Bounty Rank.
These facts confirm the event gate. They do not confirm an exact quest location, level, duration, reward for Relax Time itself, or a universal missing-menu repair.
Community-observed quest route
Current third-party guides describe Relax Time as an early-story quest in **Prologue II**. They place the key rest prompt at **Eibon** and suggest waiting for the following story transition before checking the Circle Bounty entry.
Treat those details as navigation clues:
- Follow the live Main Quest marker in your own client.
- Use the visible rest prompt rather than a copied coordinate.
- Let the next scene or chapter state load.
- Reopen the relevant event screen after the story transition.
This page does not claim that every patch, account, language, or skipped-scene path displays the same sequence.
Relax Time is not showing
Start with the story state, not random troubleshooting:
- Confirm that you are on the intended server and login path.
- Track the current Main Quest.
- Follow the live objective until Relax Time appears.
- Do not assume a third-party Hunter Level claim is a universal gate.
- If the story marker itself is missing, record the previous completed quest and the exact visible message.
Changing graphics settings, reinstalling the game, using unofficial files, or switching accounts is not a sensible first response to a missing story quest.
Relax Time is complete but Circle Bounty is missing
Use one bounded check:
- Confirm the quest is shown as completed.
- Finish any immediate story transition or next prompt.
- Reopen the event or Circle Bounty screen.
- Return to the title screen once and re-enter with the same account and server.
- If it is still missing, record patch, platform, quest state, visible menu state, and the result of that one re-entry.
Do not repeatedly restart, share account access, or send passwords and one-time codes to anyone offering to “unlock” the menu.
What this guide does not claim
This page does not claim:
- A universal Hunter Level requirement for Relax Time.
- An exact quest reward.
- A guaranteed completion time.
- That Eibon is stated in the official patch notes.
- That one restart always unlocks Circle Bounty.
- That an expired Circle Bounty window can be restored by completing the quest.
The current event date and your story unlock are separate checks.

FAQ
How do I start Relax Time in NTE?
Continue the tracked Main Quest until Relax Time appears. Community guides place it in Prologue II, but the official patch notes do not publish a universal level or step-by-step route.
Where is Relax Time in NTE?
Community sources describe a rest objective at Eibon near the end of an early prologue sequence. Use the live quest marker because this location detail is not stated in the official patch notes.
What does Relax Time unlock?
The official Version 1.2 notes say that completing Relax Time is required for the Circle Bounty Guide. That does not prove that every event remains active indefinitely.
Why is Circle Bounty missing after Relax Time?
Finish the next visible story transition, reopen the event screen, and run one clean title-screen re-entry on the same account and server. If it remains missing, save the exact state and current event window instead of repeating unrelated fixes.
What Hunter Level is required for Relax Time?
This page does not publish a universal Hunter Level requirement because the official Version 1.2 notes only state the Main Quest completion requirement. Follow the current Main Quest marker in your client.
Is the Eibon rest step official?
It is community-observed guide context. The public official Version 1.1 and Version 1.2 notes name Relax Time as the Circle Bounty requirement but do not publish the Eibon walkthrough step.
