Daily & Weekly Missions

Daily & Weekly Missions

Maximizing your daily and weekly mission completion is crucial for consistent resource generation and progression in Arknights. These tasks offer a steady stream of valuable items, including LMD, Battle Records, materials, and Originium Prime. Establishing a routine for these missions will significantly boost your account's growth and ensure you never miss out on essential resources for Operator promotion, skill upgrades, and base expansion.

Daily Missions Walkthrough

Daily Missions reset every 24 hours at 04:00 AM UTC-7 (server time) and are designed to be quick and easy to complete. Prioritize these first each day to ensure you don't miss out on their rewards, which are vital for steady, incremental growth.

• Login to the Game:
  • Strategy: The simplest mission. Just open Arknights and reach the main menu.
  • Location: Main Menu.
  • Rewards: 100 LMD, 1 Battle Record (T1).
  • Completion Time: Instant.
• Complete 3 Operations:
  • Strategy: Run any three stages. For maximum efficiency and resource farming, use Auto-Deploy on 1-7 (for Originium Shards, which convert to Orundum in the Factory) or any current Supply Operations (Tactical Drill, Cargo Escort, etc.) that drop materials you specifically need. Event stages also count towards this.
  • Location: Operations menu (Main Story, Resource Search, Annihilation, Event Stages).
  • Rewards: 200 LMD, 2 Battle Records (T1).
  • Completion Time: ~3-5 minutes (using Auto-Deploy).
• Consume 100 Sanity:
  • Strategy: This will naturally happen as you complete operations. Running higher Sanity cost stages like Chip Stages (e.g., LS-5 for LMD, CE-5 for Battle Records), event stages, or the highest difficulty Resource Search stages will fulfill this quickly. Aim for stages that drop materials you are actively farming.
  • Rewards: 300 LMD, 1 Recruitment Permit.
  • Completion Time: Varies based on stages, typically achieved within 2-3 high-Sanity operations.
• Recruit 1 Operator:
  • Strategy: Use one Recruitment Permit from the Recruitment section in the Base. Even a 00:00 recruitment (no tags selected) counts. It's advisable to always have at least one recruitment slot running to fulfill this daily.
  • Location: Base > Recruitment.
  • Rewards: 200 LMD, 1 Skill Summary (T1).
  • Completion Time: Instant once initiated.
• Visit a Friend's Base:
  • Strategy: Go to your Friends list and tap on any friend's Base icon. You don't need to do anything specific once there; simply entering their base interface is enough. This also generates Credits for you.
  • Location: Friends > Visit Base (icon next to friend's name).
  • Rewards: 100 LMD, 20 Credits.
  • Completion Time: ~10 seconds.
• Process 1 Order in the Trading Post:
  • Strategy: Ensure you have a Trading Post built in your Base (unlocked early in the game). Assign an Operator and initiate any order (e.g., converting Gold Bars to LMD). collect a completed order.
  • Location: Base > Trading Post.
  • Rewards: 200 LMD.
  • Completion Time: Instant upon collection.
• Collect 100 Credits from the Credit Store:
  • Strategy: This is achieved by visiting friends' bases (20 Credits per visit, up to 100 per day) and having friends visit yours (10 Credits per visit, up to 100 per day). actively collect these from the Credit Store interface. You can accumulate up to 300 Credits daily.
  • Location: Store > Credit Store (bottom left button).
  • Rewards: 300 LMD.
  • Completion Time: Instant upon collection.
• Claim all Daily Mission Rewards:
  • Strategy: Once all other daily missions are complete, simply tap the "Claim All" button in the Daily Missions tab. This is the final step to secure your daily bonus.
  • Location: Missions > Daily.
  • Rewards: 400 LMD, 4 Battle Records (T1), 1 Originium Prime. This is the most significant reward from daily missions.
  • Completion Time: Instant.

Weekly Missions Walkthrough

Weekly Missions reset every Monday at 04:00 AM UTC-7 (server time) and require a bit more effort to complete, but offer substantially better rewards, including Orundum, Data Chips, and advanced materials. Plan your weekly Sanity usage to tackle these efficiently, often by integrating them with your daily farming routines and event participation.

• Complete 20 Operations:
  • Strategy: Similar to daily operations, but on a larger scale. Auto-deploying 1-7 (for Originium Shards) or farming event stages will naturally complete this over the week. If you're short, consider running low-Sanity stages like 0-1 for quick completions, though this is less efficient for resources.
  • Rewards: 1000 LMD, 5 Battle Records (T2), 1 Manganese Ore.
  • Completion Time: Achieved passively through regular play.
• Consume 1000 Sanity:
  • Strategy: This is the most demanding weekly mission. Plan your Sanity usage carefully. Focus on farming high-value stages like Chip Stages (e.g., Chip Catalyst stages for E2 promotions), event stages (for event currency and materials), or the highest difficulty Resource Search operations (e.g., CE-5 for Battle Records, LS-5 for LMD). use Sanity Potions (stored in your inventory) if needed to hit this target, especially during material-intensive farming periods.
  • Rewards: 1500 LMD, 10 Battle Records (T2), 1 Data Chip.
  • Completion Time: Achieved passively through regular play, but may require focused farming or Sanity Potion usage.
• Recruit 10 Operators:
  • Strategy: Use 10 Recruitment Permits throughout the week. Remember to refresh tags if you're looking for specific operators or higher rarity. Even 00:00 recruitments count. It's a good habit to keep all your recruitment slots active.
  • Location: Base > Recruitment.
  • Rewards: 1000 LMD, 5 Skill Summaries (T2), 1 Recruitment Permit.
  • Completion Time: Achieved passively by keeping recruitment slots active.
• Process 10 Orders in the Trading Post:
  • Strategy: Keep your Trading Post active throughout the week. Assign high-efficiency Operators (e.g., those with Trading Post skills like Lappland, Exusiai, Provence) to maximize output. Ensure you collect completed orders regularly.
  • Location: Base > Trading Post.
  • Rewards: 1000 LMD, 1 Device, 1 Ester.
  • Completion Time: Achieved passively by managing your base.
• Collect 1000 Credits from the Credit Store:
  • Strategy: Actively visit friends' bases daily (up to 5 friends for 100 Credits) and ensure your own Base is optimized for friend visits (e.g., having a well-decorated Reception Room with high ambiance to attract more visitors). You can earn up to 300 Credits daily (100 from visiting, 100 from friends visiting, 100 from Support Unit usage). This mission will be completed within 4-5 days of consistent friend interaction.
  • Location: Store > Credit Store.
  • Rewards: 1500 LMD, 5 Battle Records (T2).
  • Completion Time: Achieved within 4-5 days of consistent friend interaction.
• Clear 3 Annihilation Operations:
  • Strategy: Annihilation stages are a primary weekly source of Orundum. You can clear the same Annihilation stage three times, or three different ones. Auto-deploy is highly recommended once you've achieved a full clear (400/400 enemies defeated) to save time and Sanity. Prioritize the highest Annihilation stage you can consistently clear for maximum Orundum.
  • Location: Operations > Annihilation.
  • Rewards: 1500 LMD, 200 Orundum.
  • Completion Time: ~15-20 minutes (if using Auto-Deploy for 3 runs).
• Claim all Weekly Mission Rewards:
  • Strategy: Once all other weekly missions are complete, tap the "Claim All" button. This is the final step to secure your weekly bonus.
  • Location: Missions > Weekly.
  • Rewards: 2000 LMD, 10 Battle Records (T3), 1 Data Chip, 300 Orundum. This is the most significant reward from weekly missions.
  • Completion Time: Instant.

General Tips for Efficiency and Maximizing Rewards

To truly excel in Arknights, integrating daily and weekly mission completion into your routine is paramount. Here are some overarching strategies:

• Auto-Deploy is Your Best Friend:

  Utilize the Auto-Deploy function for stages you've already mastered. This saves immense time and ensures consistent farming without constant manual input. For daily 3 operations, 1-7 is a popular choice due to its low Sanity cost and Originium Shard drops. For weekly operations and Sanity, Auto-Deploy on your highest-priority material stages (e.g., Chip Stages, event stages, or specific Resource Search stages like CE-5, LS-5, AP-5).

• Sanity Management is Key:

  Always try to keep your Sanity from capping (reaching its maximum limit). Capped Sanity means lost potential resources. Use Sanity Potions (stored in your inventory from events, login bonuses, or weekly mission rewards) when necessary, especially during events or when farming specific materials for Operator promotions. Plan your Sanity usage around weekly missions like "Consume 1000 Sanity" by front-loading your farming or spreading it out evenly.

• Base Management for Passive Income:

  Regularly check and optimize your Base facilities. Ensure your Trading Post and Factory are always producing. Assign Operators with relevant base skills (e.g., production buffs, morale recovery buffs) to maximize efficiency. A well-managed base contributes significantly to LMD, Battle Records, and material generation, which indirectly helps with mission completion.

  • Trading Post: Keep it running 24/7, converting Gold Bars to LMD.
  • Factory: Produce Gold Bars (from Originium Shards or raw materials) and Battle Records.
  • Reception Room: Assign Operators with clue-finding skills to speed up clue exchange and Credit generation.
  • Dormitories: Rotate Operators to recover morale.
• Active Friend System Engagement:

  Maintain an active friends list. Visiting friends daily for Credits (up to 100 per day) and having friends visit your base (up to 100 per day) contributes directly to the "Collect 1000 Credits" weekly mission and provides a steady stream of Credits for the Credit Store. Using Support Units from friends also grants Credits. The Credit Store offers valuable items like Battle Records, Skill Summaries, and even rare materials, so maximizing Credit income is highly beneficial.

• Event Participation for Double-Dipping:

  Event stages often count towards daily/weekly operation and Sanity consumption missions. This makes them incredibly efficient for "double-dipping" rewards, allowing you to farm event currency and materials while simultaneously progressing your missions. Always prioritize event farming when an event is active, as event shops often contain high-value items.

• Annihilation on Auto-Deploy:

  Once you've achieved a full clear (400/400 enemies) on an Annihilation stage, use Auto-Deploy for subsequent runs. This allows you to passively collect your weekly Orundum without manual play. Prioritize the newest or highest Orundum-yielding Annihilation stage you can consistently clear.

• Set Reminders:

  If you're prone to forgetting, set a daily reminder for Arknights to complete your daily missions and check your base. For weekly missions, a reminder on Monday to check progress and plan Sanity usage can be very helpful.

By consistently following these guidelines, you'll ensure a steady flow of resources, allowing for faster Operator development and a smoother progression through the challenging world of Arknights.
