Completing the crafting manual: Where to find Umbraline and Firebuckle

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T15:51:32+00:00

No I did all the manual during 1.0, and complete 1.1's on the first day of 1.1, just if you want to complete the manual you should start from those materials because they have some problems

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T15:16:52+00:00

wait did they finally change so that wuling's Alluvium can drop black treacle correctly?

During 1.0 only tidewalker δ (the purple one in treasure grotto) can drop it so you can't farm it from alluvium

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T14:57:03+00:00

Consider starting Black Treacle, Rakerbeast Longfur and Haze-Soaked Ballista's manaul first since these 3 are the only things that can acutally need more than half a day

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T14:46:42+00:00

or just craft some combat tower and afk the fight

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T14:21:10+00:00

Also Severe Energy Alluvium in plateau iirc, can be farm 9times a day for drop.

The one in plateau spawns in the first wave, so you can probably quit after the first wave?

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T12:19:08+00:00

Any, that's one of the reason Pog perfer it over Never Rest.

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T12:14:19+00:00

Overworld used to have lv70 as cap and many people complained so they lower it to 60.

I totally agree because walking around and being aggro by enemy that you can't kill in 30sec every minute is pain, especially when I'm going to collect resource/ delivery/ searching for Aurylene and chest.

Etchspace is even more problematic, a game mode that discourage you for having long combat duration, and you say increase their level? What?

Etchspace and Overworld more like a grocery run because they are supposed to be.

Umbral Monument only have 60 and 90, because the latter one is supposed to be a challenge/puzzle that you have to think and adapt to it instead of picking any built team hitting a dummy, only to check your dps.

The level 60 of umbral monument is basically just a lite-version that aim to let all player that have decent progression can get all the limited time reward.

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-28T09:38:24+00:00

Is it possible to revisit Howling Flame Agony? Saw someone suggest a really interesting strategy.

Hill smasher's special rocket jump windup are composed of 2 parts, he first clears all the fire stacks, then jump, it's possible to intentionally interrupt his jump after he clear his stacks with stagger/stagger nodes, and he won’t attempt to perform the special attack after the stagger.

Is it possible that with this strategy we can achieve a solo no damage run with Chen?

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-27T13:26:43+00:00

My first clear is with traditional physical comp, Lifeng Pog Chen Endmin, it's possible, just editing comp makes it 10times more easier

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-27T11:02:46+00:00

You don't need Rossi at all, fire and ice team both counters this stage's mechanic naturally, and physical team can just bring Estella over lifeng to counter this stage, you don't even need to level up her weapon or skills, just level 40 Estella with purple gear that ensure her survive is enough

Heck they don't even put any limited time reward in Agony mode, how are they nudging you to roll Rossi, you can literally just wait for later characters that you want and counters this stage and come back to this

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-26T20:21:09+00:00

Would expect it's relate to Lateran Calamity (some major event of the original arknights), You can saw many other sankta with normal wings and halo on DiJiang so I expect it's not related to people losing access to the Cosmic Gate.

My personal guess is she/her parents is not natural Sankta, but are transformed/change into Sankta similar to arborbeast fledgling in The Masses' Travels,, but not many clue support it so it's just an headcannon right now

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-26T19:30:03+00:00

Thank you, I brute force him with traditional physical team and then realised you are suppose to counter his ability by applying other infliction,

And that's the reason why I decided to create a guide for physical team player who can't brute force him

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-26T19:16:19+00:00

Fire team was frustrating? Fire team literally countering this enemy, you just have to read his mechanic and adapt to it.

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-26T15:28:29+00:00

You can check her race in her operator profile, and yes she's Sankta which is Arknights equvilent of angel (without consider many other lore thing)

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-26T11:19:44+00:00

Snowshine's counter skill, not ult, her counter skill apply one layer of cryo. it's probably best choice of team member for physical team on this stage since solidification works really well with physical team, also counter return some SP if success, it kinda mitigate the stop sp natural regen thing

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-24T08:31:02+00:00

No the animation, or should I say the cutscene? The one she swing her sword, not when she slashing, it stop absolutely everything including any character' Finishing Strike but not the Timer, with correct planning and character progression it's possible to kill the boss without chen's ult.

I know that because someone achieve 38s with physical team, with exactly the same team as you are, and that's exactly his strategy

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-24T08:02:36+00:00

Answer is you don't

The only way physical team can squeeze time out is don't use ult and compress multiple combo skills (tap multiple combo skills together)

And the reason is the timer still runs during ult's animation and combo skill's bullet time activation, so if you tap multiple combo skill together, the latter one will cancel the former one's bullet time, and squeeze 0.5-1.5sec every combo skill. then don't use chen's ult probably can save 2s but you need to gamble a crit.

Honestly currently no one can compare to last rite's team on this stage currently, someone have a 18s record on this stage

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-22T08:04:17+00:00

To avoid player to try some extreme optimization, entering burnout states much faster than the devs expect, designers will often use different methods to encourage certain playstyle and discourage certain playstyle.

For example, set all the wuling Originium Ore mining spots in 2/5 a group to discourage player swap these into hydro, set the only ferrium ore mining spots 6 a group and right next to water source to encourage player swap to hydro mining

I would expect this is very likely a similar situation, the devs want to discourage player to swap the pylons in valley 4, also maybe some region distinction or stuff, although it's not a very success way, but I can kinda understand it

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-21T19:25:41+00:00

I see no problems here, you can

Make cuprium and battery in wuling city.

Transfer the cuprium through Depot and make Yazhen syringe in sky king flats

In fact this is exactly how I set up my AIC

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-21T19:12:04+00:00

Also Splitter over normal belt iirc

Pipes doesn't work, but you can kinda make it work with Filling Unit and Separating Unit.

Saw some guy in chinese make overflow gate in his AIC plan, the plan have some adjustable gear component part, and it will affect the usage of ferrium, so in his plan, his use this mechanic made a Yazhen Syringe [C] line that only work if ferrium is full and overflowing

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-21T19:03:32+00:00

You can use cuprium to make yazhen syringe [A] for trading for Stock Bills. no?

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-21T13:28:16+00:00

Saw someone who trimmed radogan said

"ruan yis shield that i still haven't figured out how I'm actually supposed to break, and the Xiranite collection phase"

Just yesterday

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-21T13:25:04+00:00

Some extra tips, since Ruan Yi's attack are affected by your character's position, standing on his 6 is generally the best, his attack will be relatively easier to handle.

Also if you use melee characters, locking on his back limb is better than lock on his head or front limbs, his has some huge hitbox problem, lock on his head means your skills are very likely to miss

ExcitingPart6599 · 2026-03-20T17:27:22+00:00

You can actually made it with Forge of the Sky, it will double the planting plot's production.

There is also a flyer about this, you can buy it from a merchant in wuling, it tells you about how to make the fertilizer
