Arknights Endfield Week One Checklist – Tasks You Should Not Miss

Your first week in Arknights: Endfield should focus on unlocking core systems, spending all Sanity, and grabbing one-time launch rewards and missions before they slip by. Most creators put “reach about account level 15 and unlock electric mining rigs” as the key Week 1 benchmark.​

Day 1–2: Account Setup and Free Rewards

Do this as soon as you start.

• Claim all launch and pre-registration rewards:
  • Check in-game mail after clearing Chapter I – Process I to unlock and claim global milestone rewards, including free 5★ Snowshine, a 5★ weapon (Finishing Call), 20 Basic Permits, T-Creds, and EXP.
  • Grab any 1.0 reward packs and beginner login/event rewards listed in your Notices/Event Center.​​
• Follow a Day 1 route:
  • Flow: spend Sanity on mats → complete dailies/map objectives → push main story → unlock factory upgrades.​​
  • Aim to hit account level 15 by the end of Day 1–2 by doing all dailies and story plus side objectives in your starting region.​​

Daily Tasks You Should Not Miss (All Week)

These are non-negotiable every day once dailies unlock.

• Clear all daily missions:
  • Typical tasks include logging in, leveling an operator, weapon, or gear once, defeating 20 enemies, spending 60 Sanity, and crafting several items.​
  • Completing the full daily list is a major source of XP, T-Creds, and Battle Pass progress.​​
• Spend all Sanity:
  • Never let Sanity cap; funnel it into skill/promotion materials and early Domains, not low-XP story repeats.​​
• Tap factory/outposts:
  • Collect production, restart any idle lines, and keep your mining and crafting running 24/7 once unlocked.​​

Factory and AIC Setup in Week One

Your economic snowball comes from AIC upgrades you secure in the first week.

• Unlock and build electric mining rigs as soon as they become available (around account level 10–15 and early factory/story progression).​
  • Immediately dismantle/replace portable rigs; electric rigs plus power give you true AFK income.​
• Set up relay towers and electric pylons to connect rigs and crafting structures so resources move automatically.​
• Begin automating common materials and gear recipes that your main team uses most, instead of crafting everything manually.​​

Guides are clear: unlocking electric rigs and automation in Week 1 is “the single most impactful action” for long-term F2P progress.​

Story and Combat Milestones for Week One

Push story far enough to unlock your core loops, but do not overgrind.

• By end of Week 1 you should aim to:​
  • Clear the opening chapter(s) through the first major region hub (e.g., Valley IV) so Domains and more factory options open.
  • Have a core squad built: one main DPS, one tank, one healer/support, and one flex slot, rather than spreading resources thin.​
  • Reach the first tier of resource/Domain stages you can comfortably auto or speed-clear for routine farming.

Use early 6★ selection/free pulls to secure at least one strong carry (Laevatain or similar), then build around them.

Weekly Missions and Launch-Limited Rewards

Several Week 1–style tasks are easy to overlook but very valuable.

• Complete Week 1 Weekly Routine missions:
  • Launch guides include step-by-step routes to finish weekly tasks (Domains cleared, Sanity spent, items crafted) with days to spare.
• Clear all beginner/launch missions in the Mission/Event tabs:
  • Many of these give premium currency, permits, and materials and are tuned to be achievable even if you start mid-week.
• Double-check reward lists:
  • Creator checklists show that between login, pre-reg, launch missions, and early events you can reach well over 100 free pulls if you claim everything during the early window.​

If you follow this Week One checklist, claim all launch rewards, never cap Sanity, finish dailies/weeklies, unlock electric rigs, and push story to the first big hub, you walk out of the first seven days with a stable income engine, a functional meta-ready team, and most time-limited freebies secured as a F2P player.
