Like most gacha games, Arknights: Endfield throws a lot of “daily” stuff at you. Some of it is obvious, some of it is not, and a lot of it honestly is not worth stressing over if you are short on time. The good news is that you do not need to do everything.
Below is a practical daily routine that focuses on what actually matters, starting with a 5-minute routine to clear your daily activity points, and then the optional stuff you should do when you have more time.
First of all, it is good to keep in mind when the dailies reset for your region so you do not miss anything:
- UTC-5: 03:00 PM
- UTC+8: 04:00 AM
- UTC+1: 09:00 PM
The Fastest Way to Clear 100 Activity Points
Daily Activity Points are the one thing you should always clear. What the game does not really explain well is that you do not need to complete every mission. You only need 100 points, and some tasks are much faster than others.
If you are busy, the following route is the fastest!
Log in (20 points)
Just opening the game already gives you 20 points. Free, instant, no effort.
Level up an Operator (20 points)
You only need one single level. The trick here is to keep a few low-level operators on purpose, so each day you can level one by +1 without spending meaningful resources.
This takes a few seconds and does not involve any combat or waste of resources.
Level up a Weapon (20 points)
Same idea as operators. Keep a low-level weapon around and give it one level per day. Fast, cheap, done from the menu.
Craft one Piece of Gear (40 points)
Teleport to your PAC, craft one low-level gear item through the Gear Assembly system, and you are done. This alone gives 40 points, making it one of the best time-to-reward tasks in the list. If you pick a low-level piece, it will not use any important mats.
That is 100 points total, your daily activity rewards are secured, and you can log out if needed.
Everything else in the activity list is optional and mostly slower (gathering, gifting, extra crafting), fine if you enjoy it, but not mandatory.
Spend Your Sanity (Do Not Let It Cap)
Even though sanity spending is not part of the fastest daily points route, you still want to spend it every day. Letting it cap means you are wasting regeneration and falling behind on materials.
Protocol Space is where most of your real long-term progress comes from:
- Predictable rewards
- Direct upgrade materials
- Efficient and repeatable farming
If you do not know what to farm, check what materials you are low on and rotate daily so you slowly build a healthy stockpile without thinking too hard.
Outposts
Once unlocked, outposts are something you rarely finish in one day, and that is normal. Each day, sell crafted items to your outposts to:
- Slowly level them up
- Earn extra Stock Bills
- Avoid big grind sessions later
If your factory production is set up properly, making this a daily habit keeps everything moving forward naturally.
Depot Nodes & Easy Deliveries
Depot Node deliveries are another daily task you should not ignore, and you do not even have to do them yourself.
If you are short on time, let friends handle the deliveries. You still get the rewards, with almost no effort on your side.
Daily Dijiang Activities
There are a few things you can do daily on your ship. First, you want to buy all the Elastic goods you can for a low price. This one is huge for passive income each day. Every day:
- Buy your daily Elastic goods from your own Dijiang ship (cheap)
- Visit a friend’s ship
- Sell those same items for double or triple the price
Do this consistently, and you will build a very high Stock Bills income over time.
And since you are now on the ship, you can also do a few additional things there:
- Reassign operators to production if needed
- Make sure you’re crafting things you actually need
- Increase your operators’ trust by gifting items to them on your ship.
- Trust levels up slowly, but if you do this daily, it adds up without ever feeling like a grind.
World Map – Ascension & Recycling
This is probably the most important daily habit in the long run. You want to go around the map and collect any ascension material that resets, and the materials at your Recycling stations.
- Ascension materials refill every 3 days, but one by one, meaning each day you should be able to pick up a couple of them at least. You do not need to do all the spots. Open your map, and hover over the rare growth and ores icons, and they will tell you if some are reset or not
- Look for the Owl icons on the map and collect the materials at the Recycling stations
Skipping this regularly will hurt later, when you suddenly need large amounts for upgrades. You can even check on the top left of your map, there is a little arrow that indicated what reset or not!
Quick AIC Facility Check
Before logging out, take a quick look at your AIC setup:
- Power levels
- Batteries
- Machines not clogged or stopped
Catching issues early saves you from losing hours of production overnight.
Arknights: Endfield can look overwhelming at first, but you really do not need to do everything every day. If you are short on time, clearing your daily activity points in a few minutes and spending your sanity is already enough to keep up.
Everything else, outposts, Dijiang trading, trust, world materials, is about small, consistent progress, not grinding for hours in one session. If you build the right habits, the game rewards you naturally as you log in each day.
Play more when you feel like it, log in fast when you do not. That is how Endfield is meant to be played long-term.
