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.

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 PointsManaging 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 anywayReward All unlocked daily reward tiers
- Claim every unlocked reward tierBefore reset. Reaching the points and not claiming them is the easiest mistake on this pageReward 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 ordersBoth feed daily and weekly mission milestones directlyReward LMD, Originium and mission progress
- Rotate fatigued Operators outOut of Factories and Trading Posts, into Dormitories. Dormitory assignment is itself a mission objectiveReward Sustained Base output
- Spend your DronesRush a Trading Post order, Factory production or construction depending on what your account actually needsReward Accelerated Base output
- Do your Trust interactions5 and 10 are daily milestones; 40, 60 and 100 are weekly ones, so this is worth doing every day rather than in burstsReward Operator Trust and mission progress
- Work your Reception Room cluesCheck clues, hand duplicates to friends, and start a Clue Exchange the moment you hold a complete setReward 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 CreditsFrom the Base
- Visit friends running a Clue Exchange30 Credit per qualifying visit, up to 10 visits per dayReward Up to 300 Credit daily
- Spend in the Credit StorePrioritise the limited-stock items you actually need rather than letting Credit sit unused. Buying is also a mission objective on both boardsReward Store stock and mission progress
- Collect your own completed Clue ExchangeEasy to start one and then forget it finishedReward 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 slotsKeeping all slots running is what makes the weekly targets of 10 and 20 reachable without effort
- priorityInspect tags before refreshingTop 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 storyRight 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 closesCritical 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 trackThe 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 bannerRight 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 TicketsTwo 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.

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 AnnihilationProxy or skip where available. This is the task on the page most worth never missingReward Weekly Orundum, up to the account cap
- optionalClear the rotating Annihilation to 400 killsOnly if its one-time rewards are still outstanding — the 400-kill clear is a one-off, separate from the recurring Orundum capReward 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 itemsSanity 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 menusCompleted 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 ContractsCurrent 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 generalReward 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 poolComplete enough Security Missions to reach the Reward Cycle maximum — 60 Data Supplement Sticks and 24 Data Supplement InstrumentsReward Data Supplement Sticks and Instruments for Module upgrades
- Check the Dispatch rotation every fourth cycleThe 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 storeThe high-value tier. Worth doing every month before the inventory resetsReward Phase 1 store stock
- optionalPush into Phase 2 as far as your certificates allowDepends 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 positionParticularly if you have missed days. Also check whether an overlapping limited sign-in event has its own separate rewardsReward Monthly attendance rewards
