If you are short on Stock Bills in Arknights: Endfield, you are definitely not alone. This currency is used everywhere, from base upgrades to shops and terminals, and early on, it can feel like you never have enough.
Having a solid factory setup helps over time, but there is a much faster method that many players overlook, and that is Elastic Goods trading through Stock Redistribution.
It is simple, fast, and can easily get you tens of thousands of Stock Bills in just a few minutes without any specific effort.
Best Stock Bill Farming Method
Elastic Goods are special items sold through the Stock Redistribution terminal. Their main feature is that their prices change every day. You can access the Stock Retribution menu either through the Lucky Carrot NPC (big yellow bunny) on your map or in your Dijiang ship at the Stock Retribution terminal.
When you open the Stock Retribution menu, head to the Elastic Goods tab. You will notice a few items with different prices that you can buy:
- Green arrows indicate that an item is cheaper than usual
- Red arrows when an item is more expensive
The goal is very straightforward. Buy Elastic Goods when their price is heavily discounted, ideally over 20-30% below the recommended value.
Once you buy Elastic Goods at a low price, do not sell them on your own ship. Instead, you want to check the prices on your friend’s ship, and pick the highest selling price.
- Select the item in the shop
- Click “Friend’s Price“
- See a list of your friends and the price of that same item on their ship
- Visit the friend offering the highest resale price
- Sell the goods at their Stock Redistribution terminal
Because prices differ per ship, this often means selling items for double or even triple what you paid.
It is not unusual to make +60k to +80k Stock Bills in a few minutes if the price gap is good. You can also buy the items when they are really low and hold onto them until you find a friend with a really high price. The items will not disappear once you bought them.
Daily Purchase Limit And How to Increase It
However, this method does have a limit because there is a daily limit on how much you can buy, so this is not infinite.
By default, you can only buy 30 Elastic Goods per day. However, this limit can be increased by upgrading the Stock Redistribution terminal. You can do so by just visiting Lucky Carrot. You can upgrade those terminals 4 times, and each time it will increase your daily limit.
If you plan to rely on Elastic Goods trading, upgrading this terminal early is absolutely worth it.
What to Do After Hitting the Daily Limit
Once you reach your daily purchase cap, you still have options. If you need a few more Stock Bills, here are additional tips that can grant you a good amount of additional stock bills.
Depot Node
When you reach the Origium Science Park (right zone of the Valley IV map), you will unlock the Depot Node. Upgrade it to Level 2 to unlock the Local Delivery system. Each day, you can take one Package and you will have to deliver it somewhere. This can only be done once daily when you are level 2, but it can give you up to 60k Stock Bills if you do not damage the package.
Be careful because teleporting or fighting will damage the package, and you will earn less at the end. Simply run towards the delivery spot and ignore everything on your way. Usually, they are not located too far (at least we have not gotten any that were specifically far away so far).
Outposts
Once all the daily stuff is done, you can also earn a few additional Stock Bills by selling items to your Outpost. On top of helping with leveling the Outpost, they do pay you with Stock Bills. There is no daily limit on that, so feel free to sell as much as you want there. The only limit is the number of items you earn.
This is not as explosive as Elastic Goods trading, but it is a reliable backup when you are just short of an upgrade or purchase.
Why Is the Elastic Goods Method So Good Early On
This strategy works so well because it does not require:
- A massive factory
- Rare materials
- Long production chains
You are simply taking advantage of price differences, which the game fully allows. It is fast, low-effort, and scales very well as your daily limits increase.
If you are upgrading your base, unlocking terminals, or clearing out shops, this is easily one of the best Stock Bill sources available right now. Even with the daily limit, you can still make a solid amount per day and stock up fast, so if you have not unlocked your Dijiang ship yet, get going with your story, Endmin!
