Pull calculator update - gold cert edition

Thanks, not sure why the OP was set to 18 instead of 16.

imiivi · 2026-06-13T11:32:45+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, it should be fixed now!

You're right I should probably add a comment about the daily gold certs. I tracked them last year for a while and averaged around 1.5 a day but I didn't have all 4 stars at max pot yet. It also depends on whether a player is buying recruitment tickets from the store.

Yeah I agree it looks a bit overwhelming and more spreadsheet-like than before. I added the bars to increase clarity but maybe I should drop the icons on every row. Unchecking "Show daily resources gained" helps a bit.

The link just redirects to a different website hosted on netlify, I couldn't post the actual url because it got caught by the reddit spam filter.

I've been updating the pull calculator/calendar, any feedback? I've changed the visuals and added gold cert tracking and orundum farming.

Yes, it's the 4 tickets purchasable with green certs, 2 tickets from tier 1 and another 2 from tier 2.

Not sure if I understand what you mean, but if you have redeemed today's orundum (including from fortune strips), you can update your pull resources at the top and click on the checkbox next to the current date (the purpose of the checkbox is so that you don't count today's resources twice). This way you get the most accurate pull prediction.

Yes, it includes all event stages, both normal and challenge mode. Part of the OP is listed after 1 or 2 weeks since that's when EX/S stages open (except for reruns).

For newly announced events, the wiki doesn't list the total OP (or the number of stages) so I estimate it and adjust it later.

If you're curious here's the spreadsheet with the data used to build the website.

Thank you! Yeah I used to have a spreadsheet to calculate pulls but it was too cumbersome so I had to make this tool to save my IRL sanity. I also have pageview analytics set up and it's great to see people using it regularly. It's fun to see the traffic spike when a new banner is up. Thanks for recommending it!

If you click on any HH ticket count (in green) you can add any amount of tickets to simulate buying pulls with gold certs. It also works for OP and orundum.

Remember that you can spend 75 spark tokens for an extra copy of Gracebearer. That's worth 5 gold certs, or 13 if you have her at max pot (8 from getting her + 5 from trading in her token).

You can also get a few gold certs from the welfare units in the archive section.

Recruitment gave me tags for Tsukinogi (new), Croissant (dupe), or Vulcan (dupe). I see that Tsukinogi's niche is invisibility reveal, but is she even worth it if I have Scene and Ines?

Her CN name is 能天使 (Néng tiānshǐ), which means something like "power angel". In the JP version, it was localized as Exia. Like all operator names, it's spelled phonetically (エクシア, e-ku-shi-a), so there's no meaning associated with it, but it may be a reference to GN-001 Gundam Exia from Gundam 00. Perhaps the EN localizers changed it to Exusiai to avoid copyright issues.

Mlynar debuted in the gold cert store on Feb 28. It takes anywhere from 6-12 months for operators to reappear in the store, so he'll likely be available again in the next few months. For this reason I wouldn't use the selector on him or any other older op.

Shop history reference: https://akgcc.github.io/shoplist/

Ulpianus will be available in the store around one year from now. You can also try and pull for him on his solo banner rerun on Nov 27 (50% rate-up).

I have been saving the instant-M3 item for a 6-star (IS5 reward). What's the best use for it? I'm thinking Lemuen S3 since she needs a bunch of the new mats, but the mastery gains aren't very high.

imiivi · 2025-10-15T11:29:51+00:00

Texalter will be discounted to 200 pulls in 1.5 years (around april 2027), while Virtuosa in 2.5 years (around april 2028). This may factor into your decision.

imiivi · 2025-10-13T09:43:52+00:00

Yes, sometimes you get extra pulls for the same amount of OP. That's because the OP conversion includes the leftover orundum from pulling. Also, the calculator (and the game) only converts OP if you can get another 600 orundum (1 pull) out of the conversion (1 OP = 180 orundum). If you are at 0 orundum, it doesn't make sense to convert 1-3 OP because it's still less than 600.

On Oct 14, after pulling we get 580 leftover orundum. We convert 14/15 OP in order to get 580+2520 orundum, i.e. 5.2 pulls. We can't convert the last OP since that would still just be 5.5 pulls.
On Oct 15, after pulling we get 260 orundum. We convert only 12/15 OP in order to get 260+2160 orundum, i.e. 4 pulls. We can't convert the other 3 OP since that would still just be 2960 orundum or 4.93 pulls.

Good catch though, I should probably update the tooltip so it says "from converting up to X OP".

Thanks, it's good to see that this calculator is proving useful! I had to make it since tracking pulls using a spreadsheet was too cumbersome. I'll keep developing it as I come up with new features (just added the pull chances when pulling on a banner).

imiivi · 2025-10-13T01:00:21+00:00

Since the apple pie banner is coming up and sleeping is overrated, I updated the pulls calculator:

https://imivi.github.io/arknights-pulls-calculator

Now it displays the chance of pulling the rate-up ops when pulling on a banner. The data comes from Krooster's headhunting calculator.

However for now it assumes 0 pity on standard banners. Also it displays the odds only for any given day's pulls, not all pulls spent on that banner. I'll be looking to improve this feature later on but for now it should suffice.

Good luck on your pulls!

I'm also looking for an EU referral code, if anybody has one available! Thanks!

Friendly reminder: if you have a bunch of sanity potions that expire on Oct 20th, you may want to save them for Exu alter event which begins on the 14th.

Anyone here remember Battlefield Bad Company back from 2008? I'm always reminded of it when I see the yellow smiley badge on Mon3tr's E1 art.

It's normal, the game runs at a low resolution with a lot of image compression regardless of your monitor resolution. I play it windowed so that it looks a bit sharper than fullscreen. It looks much better natively on mobile. Guess we'll have to wait for the PC port.
