Login and Sanity

Sanity is the whole economy of this game — it regenerates whether you spend it or not, so a capped bar is the only genuinely irrecoverable daily loss on this list. Everything else can be caught up; regenerated Sanity cannot.

  • Claim your daily attendance reward
    Plus any limited-time sign-in campaign running alongside it — check both, they are separate claims
    Reward Attendance calendar rewards
  • prioritySpend Sanity before it caps
    Event stages while an event is running; otherwise whatever your current bottleneck is — upgrade materials, chips, Skill Summaries, LMD, Battle Records or Elite materials
    Reward Whatever you are building toward

Daily Missions — a points target, not a list

⚠️ You need 24 Mission Points, not every objective. The board is a pool of progressive milestones and you take whichever you hit naturally. The full pool: clear any stage (1/2/4/6/8), defeat Main Story enemy leaders (1/3), defeat enemies (100/200/300/400/500), clear a stage with a Support Unit (1), upgrade an Operator (1), collect Credit (1), buy from the Credit Store (1), complete Recruitment (1/3), Base Trust interactions (5/10), collect Factory products (1), complete Trading Post orders (1/5/10/20), assign Operators to Dormitories (1/5/10), visit a friend's Base (1). ⚠️ Certain special or nonstandard operations do NOT count toward the stage-clear or enemy-kill totals, so ordinary farming and event stages are the safe way to move the board.

  • priorityReach 24 Daily Mission Points
    Managing your Base properly clears most of this board on its own — the Trading Post, Factory and Trust objectives overlap almost entirely with what you were doing anyway
    Reward All unlocked daily reward tiers
  • Claim every unlocked reward tier
    Before reset. Reaching the points and not claiming them is the easiest mistake on this page
    Reward Orundum, LMD and materials

Base management

The Base is the engine behind both mission boards. Doing it properly is not an extra chore on top of the Daily and Weekly boards — it IS most of them, which is why it is worth a real pass rather than a quick collect.

  • Collect Factory production and Trading Post orders
    Both feed daily and weekly mission milestones directly
    Reward LMD, Originium and mission progress
  • Rotate fatigued Operators out
    Out of Factories and Trading Posts, into Dormitories. Dormitory assignment is itself a mission objective
    Reward Sustained Base output
  • Spend your Drones
    Rush a Trading Post order, Factory production or construction depending on what your account actually needs
    Reward Accelerated Base output
  • Do your Trust interactions
    5 and 10 are daily milestones; 40, 60 and 100 are weekly ones, so this is worth doing every day rather than in bursts
    Reward Operator Trust and mission progress
  • Work your Reception Room clues
    Check clues, hand duplicates to friends, and start a Clue Exchange the moment you hold a complete set
    Reward Clue Exchange rewards

Credits and friends

The friend-visit loop is the most overlooked free income in the game: visiting friends who are running a Clue Exchange pays 30 Credit each, for up to 10 visits a day — as much as 300 Credit daily for a couple of minutes' work. Credits are capped in the store rather than banked usefully, so spending them is part of the loop rather than an afterthought.

  • Claim your available Credits
    From the Base
  • Visit friends running a Clue Exchange
    30 Credit per qualifying visit, up to 10 visits per day
    Reward Up to 300 Credit daily
  • Spend in the Credit Store
    Prioritise the limited-stock items you actually need rather than letting Credit sit unused. Buying is also a mission objective on both boards
    Reward Store stock and mission progress
  • Collect your own completed Clue Exchange
    Easy to start one and then forget it finished
    Reward Clue Exchange rewards

Recruitment

⚠️ Always read the tags before refreshing. Top Operator and Senior Operator tags, the Robot tag, and the guaranteed 4★/5★ combinations are the entire value of the system — refreshing past one is the most expensive routine mistake in Arknights. The daily board wants 1 and 3 completed Recruitments; the weekly board wants 10 and 20.

  • Fill your empty Recruitment slots
    Keeping all slots running is what makes the weekly targets of 10 and 20 reachable without effort
  • priorityInspect tags before refreshing
    Top Operator, Senior Operator, Robot, and guaranteed 4★/5★ combinations

Current event dailies

✅ EP17 SLATE CONFIRMED IN-GAME Oct 16 2026. Written to name the SLOT rather than the event, so a rotation updates the "how" line instead of retiring and rebuilding the group — Crossing’s version of this sat here dead for 34 days. LIVE NOW (from October 14, 15:00 UTC): "Main Theme Episode 17: Critical Phase Transition" with its event layer, the [Sealed With Time] Limited Headhunting and the [Notice Board in Zelgrad] — the last two close OCTOBER 28, 10:59 UTC. ⚠️ ARKNIGHTS ROUTINELY SPLITS THE STAGE DEADLINE FROM THE CLAIM DEADLINE, and the second is the one that costs you. Critical Phase Transition has THREE: stage drops of Factory scrip end OCTOBER 28, 10:59 UTC; the Unlicensed Clinic shop closes NOVEMBER 4, 10:59 UTC; and scrip from missions finished before then stays claimable until NOVEMBER 11, 10:59 UTC. Check every date on every event. d-023 recurs with every limited banner; d-024 is specific to this slate and retires when Zelgrad closes.

  • priorityClear the current event stages and story
    Right now that is "Main Theme Episode 17: Critical Phase Transition". Until October 28, 10:59 UTC it unlocks after Main Theme 3-8 instead of 16-19, and Extreme Mode opens October 21, 23:00 UTC. Event stages are almost always the best Sanity sink while one is running — and the Sanity cap rose by 30 to 210 on October 14.
  • Spend the event currency before the shop closes
    Critical Phase Transition pays [Factory scrip] from its stages (until October 28, 10:59 UTC) and from [List of Items Required] missions; spend it in the [Unlicensed Clinic] before NOVEMBER 4, 10:59 UTC. Event currencies do not carry between events — they are deleted with the shop.
  • Push the event reward track
    The 6★ Mystic Caster Viy is this update’s free Operator, only obtainable here. Clear the Episode 17 stages through 17-13 and collect [Factory scrip] — that progresses [List of Items Required], which awards the base Operator along with Elite Materials, LMD and more scrip. His duplicate Potential tokens come separately, from the [Joint Terminal] clue system, which also pays Module and Elite Materials.
  • Use the daily free roll on the current limited banner
    Right now: [Sealed With Time], until October 28, 10:59 UTC. One free roll a day, refreshing at 11:00 UTC, and it does not bank — a missed day is a lost roll.
    Reward One free headhunt a day
  • Pick your Notice Board in Zelgrad Wishing Tickets
    Two trials a day — three after a day that paid under 400 — and both must be used before you can claim. You keep the ticket with the most Orundum. Refreshes 11:00 UTC; open until October 28, 10:59 UTC.
    Reward 200–800 Orundum a day
Weekly — Monday7

Weekly Missions — a points target, not a list

⚠️ 26 Weekly Mission Points, not every objective — the same structure as the daily board. The full pool: clear stages (10/20/30/50/75/100), defeat Main Story enemy leaders (5), defeat enemies (1,000/2,000/3,000/4,000/5,000), clear stages with Support Units (5), upgrade Operators (5), collect Credit (5), buy from the Credit Store (5/20), complete Recruitment (10/20), Base Trust interactions (40/60/100), collect Factory products (10/20), complete Trading Post orders (15/30/50/80), assign Operators to Dormitories (20/40/80), visit friends' Bases (5). Nearly all of it falls out of ordinary daily play plus a well-run Base.

  • priorityReach 26 Weekly Mission Points
    If you have done your dailies and kept the Base moving, most of this is already banked by Friday
    Reward All unlocked weekly reward tiers
  • Claim every unlocked reward tier before Monday
    The board resets Monday 04:00 UTC-7 and unclaimed tiers go with it
    Reward Orundum, LMD and materials

Annihilation — the single highest-value weekly

For an established account with the weekly limit fully unlocked, Annihilation is one of the game's most important recurring Orundum sources — which is to say, one of its most important sources of pulls. Use Proxy or skip functionality where you have it; there is no reward for clearing it manually. The current rotating slot is **Scorching Workshop**, live since August 17 2026 at 04:00 UTC-7, which replaced Undercurrent Nest.

  • priorityReach the weekly Orundum cap from Annihilation
    Proxy or skip where available. This is the task on the page most worth never missing
    Reward Weekly Orundum, up to the account cap
  • optionalClear the rotating Annihilation to 400 kills
    Only if its one-time rewards are still outstanding — the 400-kill clear is a one-off, separate from the recurring Orundum cap
    Reward One-time stage rewards

Weekly sweep

A short pass before Monday to catch the things that expire quietly rather than announcing themselves.

  • does not bankCheck for expiring Sanity items
    Sanity Potions and similar items carry expiry dates and vanish without warning
  • Check event deadlines falling before next reset
    ⚠️ ARKNIGHTS ALMOST ALWAYS GIVES AN EVENT TWO DEADLINES — the stages close on one date and the reward track stays claimable for a few days after. The second is the one people miss. Current example: Duel Channel: Ivy Vine’s stages close October 7 at 03:59 UTC-7, but the Ivy Vine Program remains claimable until OCTOBER 10 at 03:59 UTC-7.
  • Clear your claim menus
    Completed objectives across events, missions and shops often sit unclaimed
Monthly6

How this bucket works

⚠️ Arknights has no Monthly Missions board comparable to the daily and weekly ones. Everything here comes from individual systems on their own monthly clocks, and they do not all refresh at the same moment: Integrated Strategies Monthly Contracts refresh on the first of the month, while the SSS Reward Cycle runs on its own schedule and the in-game countdown is authoritative for its exact closing hour. Treat the boundary as a prompt to check each system rather than a single reset.

  • priorityComplete the month's Integrated Strategies Monthly Contracts
    Current theme is Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries. Contracts refresh on the first of every month — these are genuinely monthly objectives, unlike Integrated Strategies play in general
    Reward Integrated Strategies currency and progression

Stationary Security Service

⚠️ SSS IS NO LONGER A WEEKLY CHORE. Under the current reward structure its Security Mission rewards run on a monthly Reward Cycle, which is why it sits here rather than in the weekly bucket — the capture flags this as a 2026 reclassification and it is the sort of thing older guides still get wrong. Two clocks are involved: one Reward Cycle is roughly a monthly reward period, and the broader Dispatch Cycle changes every four Reward Cycles. So: monthly, clear the reward pool; every fourth cycle, check the new stage rotation.

  • Exhaust the month's SSS reward pool
    Complete enough Security Missions to reach the Reward Cycle maximum — 60 Data Supplement Sticks and 24 Data Supplement Instruments
    Reward Data Supplement Sticks and Instruments for Module upgrades
  • Check the Dispatch rotation every fourth cycle
    The stage rotation changes on the longer Dispatch Cycle rather than monthly. Use the in-game countdown rather than assuming it aligns with the first of the month

Certificate stores

The Commendation Certificate (green) inventory resets every month and returns to Phase 1, so unspent certificates are not lost but the *stock* rotates back. Phase 1 carries the highest-value items, so clearing it is the baseline; how far into Phase 2 you go depends on your certificate income.

  • priorityClear Phase 1 of the Commendation Certificate store
    The high-value tier. Worth doing every month before the inventory resets
    Reward Phase 1 store stock
  • optionalPush into Phase 2 as far as your certificates allow
    Depends on income and what your account needs

Login calendar

Performed daily but tracked monthly — the attendance calendar is a month-long progression track, so the prompt that matters is the end-of-month one.

  • Check your month-end attendance position
    Particularly if you have missed days. Also check whether an overlapping limited sign-in event has its own separate rewards
    Reward Monthly attendance rewards
