How to Complete Main Missions Efficiently
Main Missions are the backbone of Arknights: Endfield progression. These story quests unlock new regions like Valley IV and Wuling City, grant access to essential gameplay features like the AIC Factory, and provide generous rewards including Oroberyl (premium currency), Combat Records, and progression materials.
Authority Level Requirements: Most missions require specific Authority Levels (the game’s account level system). The good news? Hypergryph lowered many early Authority Level requirements for the official release, allowing faster story progression compared to the closed beta. Focus on completing daily missions and spending Sanity to raise your Authority Level quickly.
Pro Tip: Never let your Sanity cap! Sanity regenerates over time, and wasted regeneration means slower progression. Use Sanity on skill materials and promotion items to strengthen operators while pushing through story missions. For official patch notes and updates, visit Arknights: Endfield’s official news page.
Operator Side Missions: Character-Focused Storylines
Operator Side Missions dive deeper into individual characters’ backstories. At launch, two confirmed side missions include “Let Fire Consume the Ashen Past” for Laevatain and “Letter From a Messenger” for Gilberta. These unlock at specific Authority Levels and provide exclusive rewards like Advanced Combat Records, Arms INSP Sets, and character development.
Gilberta’s mission ties into the Lone Wolf Narrative Event starting February 6, 2026, making it essential for event progression. Complete operator missions as soon as they unlock—the Oroberyl and exclusive items are worth the time investment.
Daily Missions: Your 20-Minute Routine
Efficient players can complete daily missions in just 20-40 minutes by following this optimized checklist:
Step 1: Log in and collect mail/sign-in rewards immediately. Queue long AIC Factory production runs (XP materials, base materials, credits) so timers run while you play.
Step 2: Complete daily mission triggers for 100 points: spend Sanity on high-value stages, craft or assemble gear once, defeat enemies, and perform a quick upgrade. Prioritize XP, promotion materials, and weapon essences over low-yield nodes.
Step 3: On busy days, use Sanity Usage Permits to dump Sanity quickly, then collect exploration rewards from owls/nodes scattered across the map. The 1.0 update increased crate rewards—some now contain 150 Oroberyl!

Weekly Routine: Long-Term Premium Currency Source
The Version 1.0 update added a permanent Weekly Routine screen in the Event Center with missions that refresh every week. This is your reliable source for Oroberyl, Arsenal Tickets (for gacha pulls), and progression materials. Track missions like completing a certain number of stages, performing upgrades, or achieving kill counts, then fold them into normal gameplay.
Spread weekly tasks across multiple sessions rather than grinding all at once. Launch feedback confirms you can stay on track with minimal daily time if you prioritize the right activities.
Quest Troubleshooting Tips
Stuck on a mission? Check these common solutions: (1) Verify you meet the Authority Level requirement; (2) Ensure you’ve completed prerequisite quests shown in the mission chain; (3) Check the interactive map for mission markers—some objectives require specific locations or NPCs; (4) Review operator equipment and skill levels—underleveled teams struggle with combat missions.
Can’t find a specific quest? Some missions only appear after completing earlier story chapters or reaching particular Authority Level thresholds. Main missions unlock progressively as you level, while side missions require both Authority Level and story progression.
New Player Quest Priority
Focus on this hierarchy: Main Missions (for feature unlocks) → Daily Missions (for Authority Level) → Weekly Routine (for premium currency) → Operator Side Missions (for character items). Early game, prioritize unlocking the AIC Factory through main story progression—this automated production system becomes your best friend for passive resource generation.
