Stuck at the Echoes Player ID field? Here is the exact Identity V screen on phone, PC, and NetEase—and the lookalike numbers you must never paste.

The avatar tap that actually prints your Player ID

Echoes are the paid currency for characters, costumes, Essences, and Memory Spheres. Checkout does not stall on the price. It stalls on the Player ID box.

I treat that box like a bank account number. Display names change on a whim. The numerical Player ID never does.

Open the home lobby. Tap your avatar. The profile card that opens is the only screen I trust: a permanent numerical sequence sits near the portrait. That sequence is the Player ID.

Not the friend code next to it. Not a club tag. Not the Google or Apple email you bound last year.

PC uses the same motion. Click the lobby portrait. Same card. Same digits. There is no Settings shortcut and no hidden page. NetEase printed the number on the face you already tap between matches.

I screenshot that card before I spend. Then I type the digits and read them against the photo. Copy-paste is fine if your clipboard is not still holding a friend code.

When I buy for my own manor I want a form that asks for this number and the region, and nothing that looks like a password. That is why I point people at the Identity V Echoes page that asks for Player ID, not a login.

iPhone, Android, and the NetEase Games client

On iPhone the number is not inside iOS Settings, and it is not in Game Center. Open the game. Hit the lobby portrait. Read the card. If Face ID just dropped you into the manor, you are already on the right account.

Android puts that same profile on a taller screen. Tap the headshot. On a small phone the number can sit below the fold, so scroll the card. It will not appear in Android app info or a system overlay.

The launcher is the trap that gets PC and emulator players. The NetEase Games string is not the passport you typed to open the launcher, and it is not the numeric account on the launcher homepage. Those strings log you in. They do not identify the manor for Echoes.

A launcher UID feels official. It still belongs in the bin for this job. If the number is not on the in-game profile card, do not paste it.

Three clients. One card. That is the rule I actually follow.

Friend code versus Player ID, and the other lookalikes

The mix-up that donates packs to strangers is friend code versus player ID. Friend codes exist so someone can add you after a match. They can be numeric. They are still the wrong field for money.

Club IDs are a group, not a person. Display names are worse. You changed yours last week and the store cannot chase the new spelling across regions.

I keep this grid in my head when a screen offers four strings at once.

Label you see What it actually identifies Safe to paste for Echoes?
Player ID on the in-game profile card Permanent manor account Yes. This is the one.
Friend code / add-friend string Social search only No
Club or house tag A group, not you No
NetEase launcher passport or bound email Login binding, not the game UID No
Display name Cosmetic label you can change No

If the checkout field says Player ID, only the profile-card sequence belongs there. Everything else has a different job and will not credit your Echoes.

Server region is the quiet second mistake. Identity V keeps EU-US and Asia in separate databases. A valid-looking ID on the wrong half of the planet is either a failed payment or a gift. Confirm the region on the same card before you pay.

Bindings create a third false alarm. The game accepts WeChat, QQ, email, Google, and Apple. Pay while logged into one, then open the client on another, and the balance looks empty. The Echoes did not vanish. You opened the wrong house with a familiar icon.

Player ID not showing? The manor is still in tutorial

A blank card is usually not a broken client. New manors lock social tools and pieces of the profile until you finish all 18 tutorial quests and reach player level 5. Until both are done, the card can look empty, friend buttons stay dark, and the number you need refuses to print.

Finish the 18 quests. Hit level 5. Re-open the avatar. If the card is still blank, force-close the game and log the same binding again. Do not invent digits from an old screenshot of a different account. Do not type a club ID "just to try."

I would not park Echoes on a fresh manor anyway. A new Hunter already costs 858 Echoes, or 4,508 Clues if you grind. The Peddler bundle sits at 3,268 Echoes, a 32% cut.

What those Echoes cost, and why the wrong ID is expensive

Official pack prices are public, so I use them as a reality check. Then I look at the live figures on the current Identity V Echoes product page before I type a single digit.

Pack Echoes Official price Why people buy it
Small Echo pack 60 $0.99 A few Echoes short of a shop item
Medium Echo pack 690 $9.99 Normal costume and Essence shopping
Large Echo pack 2,025 $29.99 Bulk, or paying down a hole
Limited Peddler package 3,268 priced in Echoes S-rarity bundle at 32% off
New Hunter 858 priced in Echoes Or 4,508 Clues if you refuse to swipe

Even the $0.99 pack is real money. A mistyped ID does not bounce back as polite in-game mail. It credits another player or it fails.

Chargebacks make the failure uglier. Reverse a payment after the items land and NetEase can turn the gap into a negative Echo balance. The penalty ladder is blunt. Tier 1 is a 24–72 hour suspension. Mid-tier locks run 7 to 30 days. Cross 5,000 Echoes of debt and the ban is permanent. I would rather re-read six digits than argue with that system.

After a successful payment, the game's own servers usually post Echoes in 10 to 30 minutes. Other write-ups claim 5 to 15. Those windows disagree, and I will not mash them into one fake number. If nothing shows, restart the client and confirm the binding first. Do not fire a second payment at a different ID to "test."

F2P, mid-spend, and heavy: different levels of paranoia

F2P: you barely need this guide until someone gifts you Echoes or you grab the $0.99 / 60 pack. Still open the profile once and save the screenshot. The week you finally want a Hunter, you will not be guessing.

Mid spenders buy the $9.99 / 690 pack a few times a season, and they are the group that pastes a friend code off the same card. Slow down. Match region. Match binding. I would only buy 690 with the profile screenshot sitting in my recents.

Heavy: you are a 2,025-pack or 3,268-Peddler person. One wrong manor is a bill you will feel. I type the ID, read it backwards, and say EU-US or Asia out loud. Then I use a checkout built around Identity V Player ID and server, not a stranger asking me to hand over the login so they can "apply it faster."

A real checkout never wants the login

A legitimate Identity V top-up asks for the numerical Player ID and the server region. Reputable checkouts show the Echo amount and the total before you pay. They never need your password, your SMS code, your authenticator, or a screen recording of Settings.

A scam wants the NetEase passport password, or temporary account sharing so they can apply Echoes by hand. That is theft with extra steps.

I will not list payment logos. They change by country, and a printed list goes stale. The live form is the only list that stays true. If a person DMs a cheaper rate and wants the login, that person is not a store.

FAQ

Where can I find my Identity V Player ID in the game?

Tap your avatar on the home lobby. The profile window lists a permanent numerical sequence near the portrait. That sequence is the Player ID, and it is the only string I paste into an Echoes form.

Does my Player ID change if I change my display name?

No. Names are cosmetic, so swap them whenever the game lets you. The Player ID stays welded to the manor, which is why it is the identifier that belongs on a paid form.

What happens if I enter the wrong Player ID during checkout?

Echoes go to another account, or the payment fails. Identity V will not bounce them because you meant the other server. Confirm the digits and the EU-US or Asia region on the profile card before you pay.

Why is my Identity V Player ID not showing?

You have probably not cleared all 18 tutorial quests or reached level 5. Social and profile tools stay locked until both are done. Finish the intro, re-open the avatar, and stop copying friend codes while you wait.

How long do Echoes take to show up after I pay?

Most manors see the balance move in 10 to 30 minutes. Other guides say 5 to 15, so the sources do not agree on the tight window. If you are outside both, restart the client and check that you are on the same Google, Apple, email, WeChat, or QQ binding you used at checkout.

How do I fix a negative Echo balance?

You repay it by buying Echoes equal to the debt. Leave it unpaid and NetEase walks you through short suspensions, 7-to-30-day locks, and, past 5,000 Echoes, a permanent ban. Do not chargeback your way out. That is how the hole started.

I would open the profile one more time

Find the ID on the in-game card. Ignore friend codes, club tags, and the NetEase launcher string. Match the region. Match the binding. Then type the number into a form that asks for those two things and nothing that looks like a password.

It is the difference between a costume on your Hunter and a gift to a stranger you will never meet.
