To make the most of Arknights Endfield, it’s important to come to grips with the Stock Redistribution system. A solid grasp of this mechanic should be the difference between making a lot of the in-game currency and running out of Stock Bills.
Reach Authority Level 15 because this is required before the Stock Redistribution feature becomes available. You also need to complete “Restart Area Stick Redistribution” quest in the Valley Pass.
After that you can visit Stock Redistributor NPC (Lucky Carrot) at the Worker Dorms in The Hub to authorize the system (costs some Stock Bills). Once unlocked, a Stock Redistribution Terminal becomes available, and you can access this across regions.
Arknights Endfield Stock Redistribution Explained
Before consulting the guide, it’s recommended to read the in-game tutorial on this mechanic. Stock Redistribution is broken up into two goods: Staple and Elastic.
Staple Goods are standard items that one can buy and purchase using Stock Bills. They come at a fixed price and are sold at a fixed value as well.
However, Elastic Goods behave in a manner that mimics the real-world stock market, effectively varying in price. Low-priced items are indicated by the color red, and higher-priced items are shown using green, giving you an easy indication of when to purchase and sell Elastic Goods.
Making the most of this system should net you plenty of Stock Bills. Note that the Staple Goods within the Stock Redistribution section will disappear permanently when bought, but upgrades will eventually unlock further items.
When prices go up, you can sell those items back into the market for more Stock Bills than you paid. You can also compare prices with your Friends’ Markets and sell to the friend offering the best price, maximizing profit. This “buy low, sell high” rhythm is the essence of Stock Redistribution and what allows you to generate Stock Bills faster.
Stock Bills you earn here fuel progression:
- Upgrading facilities and outposts
- Buying Headhunt Permits
- Crafting gear
- Purchasing rare materials
- Operator gifts and more
Let’s discuss upgrading Stock Redistribution below.
Upgrade Stock Redistribution
Upgrading Stock Redistribution requires specific items and materials, in addition to Stock Bills. Luckily for you, the game specifies these items within the upgrades section, which can be viewed by speaking to Lucky Carrot at the Stock Terminal.
Visit the Stock Redistribution Terminal near the Worker Dorms (or other unlocked terminals). Talk to Lucky Carrot and select the Upgrade option. Pay Stock Bills to increase the terminal’s level and capabilities.
There is a bit of grind here because each terminal must be upgraded seperately in Arknights Endfield.
Upgrade Levels and What They Do
| Terminal Level | Cost (approx) | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| 0 → 1 | ~500 Stock Bills | Staple goods restock unlocks |
| 1 → 2 | ~4,500 Stock Bills | Elastic Goods unlocked — price market items appear |
| 2 → 3 | ~33,000 Stock Bills | Increases daily purchase/replenish limits |
| 3 → 4 | Higher (hundreds of thousands) | Further restocks & capacity boosts |
