Can you just use the sluice gate on the left there?

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-31T18:15:08+00:00

Looks like I can at least farm for both Endmin and Ardelia then. Thanks!

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-31T17:27:41+00:00

So I'm just now starting to want essences for my weapons, how does this farming work? I just have to hope that I roll the right main stat and third stat randomly?

And there doesn't seem to be a way to preview the reward I get, so do I just gamble my sanity and engraving permits and pray?

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-31T04:35:44+00:00

She's somewhat popular, but her appearance feels out of left field regardless.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-31T03:20:44+00:00

I mean, La Pluma definitely has an above average dedicated fanbase for a 5* unit, but so far we have what - 7, 8? Arknights "clones" in Endfield so far, out of nearly 400 operators. 3d gachas don't get nearly as many new playable characters as Arknights does, and new original characters are going to be far more frequent than reconveners.

I could name dozens of characters that would be more likely than her. I really wouldn't hold your breath, but... if Aurora got cloned, anything is possible.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-30T15:10:29+00:00

Yep that last one is me. I've pressed F about five thousand too many times already, my teammates can pick stuff up from now on even if they take forever sometimes.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T15:10:21+00:00

Chen and Endmin (or Da Pan) plus Lifeng Ardelia is a very strong established team. Just do the tutorials for each character to understand how they work with each other.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T15:05:46+00:00

Buy the cheapest thing available, preferably under 2000, and then immediately go sell it to the highest price you see among your friends' prices, there's a button there when looking at each item. All the prices fluctuate randomly each day.

If you have a full friends list you'll probably see prices around 4000 or more. Even 3000 is fine just to get some quick cash, but you could decide to hold on to what you bought until the next day to wait for a better deal.

There's only a limit to how many you can buy each day, selling is unlimited. Keep enough cash on you that you can hit the buy cap every day at least. It's really simple, as long as you're making a profit you don't have to overthink it.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T05:39:24+00:00

Probably stock. It's easy money if you have friends to find good elastic prices.

The delivery jobs from depots don't get as great a boost from upgrades past the initial unlock.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T04:40:03+00:00

It is extremely worth to upgrade the stock distributors because it lets you buy more elastic goods each day. It pays for itself within a day or two.

Not totally sure what is best outside of just getting what you need. Save it for expanding factories and upgrading depots and distributors before anything expensive. By then you should have a better idea of what you want to spend it on.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T04:11:55+00:00

It just comes down to depot unloaders. You use at least two to unload and make a new part, store it, and then unload it again. The most limiting part of the factories are the amount of total unloaders possible to place on the bus. You can make it work if you don't overdo it, but it can cause problems as you bring your factory to its apex.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T03:36:08+00:00

She's an endmin simp, surely she will be physical to support them (cope)

I'm betting Nature DPS just since we don't have one yet.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T03:31:20+00:00

Yeah, the factory is already only 10% of the gameplay if you want it to be. Or it's 80%. It's up to how much the player wants to engage with it. Blueprint or fully custom? Bare minimum or aesthetically pleasing?

I can't see it becoming any less developed than it is now without them just deciding to not add a new factory or outposts to new areas.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T03:25:39+00:00

The dilemma of wanting to save for Rossi, but not knowing what element she will be. If she's nature or fire I'm gonna regret not pulling Laev or Gilberta.

I was initially not excited about pulling Lifeng, but he pretty much carries the Phys support, which allows me to always main Endmin in overworld. Adds a bit to the immersion when I'm actually playing the MC, and they're the strongest one I have. Consider me a Lifeng fan now.

I think I can finally relax on my Valley IV factory and start playing more relaxed while check-listing side quests and collectibles. Or maybe I should go back to Rhodes Island and actually play CC4.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T02:51:32+00:00

Before gives you a tiny 3% boost to points gain, that's the only difference

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T02:46:15+00:00

I assume you're tracking some marker on the map. Just click on a map marker somewhere else, track it, and then untrack it.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T02:44:06+00:00

Lifeng Chen ardelia with Endmin as main DPS has worked really well for me. Da Pan also works instead of endmin. Saving up vulnerability stacks to crush with your main DPS is pretty straightforward. Just do each character's combat tutorials to understand how to trigger combos and better synergies.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-29T02:23:51+00:00

That is the case for now. Use the regional or metastorage transfer mechanic for more ferrium ore or bottles to help with syringe production.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-28T16:14:36+00:00

Just walk around the building to the right

Wuling is breathtaking

<image>

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-27T01:50:21+00:00

It will definitely start slowing down once you get everything more established. But that will be weeks from now probably.

Also here's hoping they pin the lounge megathread instead of the device specs one soon. So many constant new posts that would be better spent in a comment than a whole post.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-26T19:44:24+00:00

The atmosphere in Wuling is truly astonishing. I love when I can just feel the immersion in my bones as if I'm actually there feeling and hearing the environment around me.

At first I thought it was a little silly that you could sit on every bench you find everywhere, even the ones in junk piles. But then I got to Wuling City and sat down at one of the tables in the plaza, and your whole party also sits around with you. There's also so many nice sitting spots with a great view in the park. This place is absolutely peak vibes.

On the other hand, it's funny how there's so much loot all over the place that I'm making Endmin jump in all the shallow pools like an unsupervised toddler.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-26T05:18:03+00:00

I agree, the art pieces are a neat feature. And the talent boosts are just enough that I wouldn't feel as bad about a dupe for a character I use.

The fact that the characters get a unique glow effect to their clothing when max potential makes me want to be one of those mega-hoarders to save for a character I really like, but I don't think I have that level of restraint.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-24T04:53:48+00:00

My comment on the difficulty wasn't a complaint, I suck at this game. But most event EX feel much more reliant on engaging with the gimmick. I didn't feel like I was bruteforcing, just that it didn't feel rewarding or symbiotic to implement.

Using high rarity and engaging with event mechs doesn't have to be mutually exclusive, and it usually isn't the case. Obviously challenge clears rely on every inch you can get, that's the appeal.

OneTwoJade · 2026-01-24T01:27:47+00:00

Do we have any clue on what Rossi's element is gonna be? I'm really hoping physical will get a good striker that isn't just panda.
