You’ve conquered the initial story of Talos-II, unlocked your Dijiang, and have a capable team at your side. Congratulations, Commander—you’ve graduated from the tutorial.
Now you face the true core of Arknights: Endfield: the meticulous, rewarding, and sometimes overwhelming grind of post-story progression. Without a clear guide, daily and weekly play can feel scattered, inefficient, and wasteful of precious resources.
This guide cuts through the noise. By analyzing permanent systems, community strategies, and reward tables, we provide a definitive weekly routine blueprint. Whether you have 30 minutes or a few hours, this guide ensures every action pushes your account toward maximum power, wealth, and efficiency.
Part 1: The Philosophy of Efficient Progression
Before diving into the checklist, understand the three core principles of endgame optimization:
1. Respect the Time Gates
The most powerful resources are limited by real-world time: daily Sanity, weekly resets, and respawning overworld materials. Prioritize these to maximize growth.
2. Automate to Accumulate
Your Automated Industry Complex (AIC) and ship’s Manufacturing Cabin are passive income engines. Include daily checks to optimize production while you play other tasks.
3. Synergy is Supreme
Progression is interconnected:
-
Sanity in Protocol Space → Operational EXP & materials
-
Daily tasks → Pass EXP & Oroberyl
-
Outpost management → Stock Bills for materials
A well-planned routine creates a virtuous cycle where each task fuels the next.
Part 2: Core Daily & Weekly Checklist
Your week in Endfield relies on daily habits feeding larger weekly goals. Daily reset: 5:00 AM server time. Weekly reset: Monday, 4:00 AM.
