How to get and farm Xiranite Components in Arknights Endfield

If you’re looking to craft those Lv.70 end-game gear pieces in Arknights Endfield, knowing how to farm Xiranite Components is both the first and most important step.

Apart from only being available after unlocking the ability to produce Xiranite during The Way of Water main questline, getting the material will require taking a lot of extra steps. Here’s how to get and farm Xiranite Components in Arknights Endfield, as well as the locations of all gold gear templates across Wuling.

How to get and farm Xiranite Components in Arknights Endfield

You can get and farm Xiranite Components in Arknights Endfield by placing 10 Packed Origocrust and 10 Xiranite in a Gearing Unit. Xiranite can be acquired by adding two Stabilized Carbon and 50 Clean Water in a Forge of The Sky, while getting Packed Origocrust demands refining Dense Origocrust Powder.

To help you farm infinite amounts early on, follow the instructions below to set up a system capable of producing both the ingredients needed and the Xiranite Components in one fell swoop:

First Step: Getting An Endless Supply Of Sandleaves and Carbon

• Place a few Electric Mining Rigs across Wuling to get access to Originium Ore. You can skip this if you have reached Oupost Level 8 in Valley IV and unlocked its Regional Transfer feature.
• Build at least six/eight Thermal Banks to get the power needed to complete the manufacturing process we are about to set up.
• Use the General Plant Farming Blueprint to get an endless amount of Sandleaves. Make sure to connect two transporting belts out of your second Planting Unit; one leading to your Automation-Core (or Depot) and one to a Refining Unit to farm Carbon.
• Connect the Refining unit to your Depot.

Second Step: Farming Xiranite, Dense Origocrust Powder, and Packed Origocrust

• With leaves and Carbon on your disposal, use the Xiranite Blueprint and a Fluid Pump to set up Xiranite production.
• Build a Shredding Unit and provide it with Originium Ore to create Originium Powder.
• Connect the unit and a source of Sandleaf Powder to a Grinding Unit to create Dense Originium Powder.
• Now, connect the Grinding Unit to back-to-back Refining Units to turn the Dense Powder into Dense Origocrust Powder, and finally, Packed Origocrust.

Third Step: The Xiranite Component Production Starts

• The final step in our production line. Connect the second Refining Unit and your active Forge of the Sky to a Gearing Unit to get an infinite source of Xiranite Components.

If you want to go beyond, we recommend connecting your Gearing Unit to multiple Forges to speed up the process. Remember, you will need to spend a total of 10 Xiranite per unit crafted, which can take one machine a while to produce.

All Arknights Endfield Gold Gear Template Crate locations

Taking into account that, even after getting the materials, you will still need to find the templates of your chosen gold gear sets to unlock them, here’s the location of all of the Gear Template Crates in Arknights Endfield, from Eternal Xiranite to Laevatain’s dream set, Hot Work. Upon checking each of the marked locations on your in-game map, you will find the template icon. Don’t forget to track it to make the process even easier.

Now that you know how to get and, most importantly, farm Xiranite Components, we also recommend taking a look at the Best Arknights Endfield Blueprint codes. Believe me, they can be game-changing.

Expired Respirator might not be a new item in ARC Raiders, but the demand for it has gone up after the Headwinds update went live.

The Trophy Display project, added as part of the Headwinds update, requires you to find and submit Expired Respirators. Doing so will earn you different rewards that might be immensely beneficial for your in-game grind.

While there’s an element of randomness associated with how you can find, this guide will help raise the odds of your success.

Best Expired Respirator locations in ARC Raiders

There’s no fixed area where you’re guaranteed to find Expired Respirators. However, it’s a medical equipment that can typically be found in commercial areas. I usually used to find this item in different spots of the Buried City. The Hospital is a POI that seems to have the highest chances of success.

Another great spot is the Testing Annex location on Dam Battlegrounds. The spot, located in the southern part of the map, can also help you with a few Expired Respirators. That said, it ultimately depends on your luck.

If you’re on the Spaceport or the Blue Gate map, I will concentrate on hitting the Commercial and Residential areas. You’ll want to go carefully through all the containers and other breachable spots that you might find.

How to use Expired Respirators in ARC Raiders

As of writing, the most important use of the Expired Respirators is to complete the second stage of the Trophy Display project. You’ll need to submit three of these items once you’ve unlocked Stage 2. Doing so will get you three Photoelectric Cloak, and bring you one step closer to unlocking the final rewards.

Once done, you can recycle Expired Respirators to get four Fabric and eight Rubber Parts. Both items are staples for several crafting recipes, and you should stack them as much as possible.
