Arknights Limited Timed Event - To Be Continued
To Be Continued Main Story Stages
The To Be Continued event is divided into 3 different types of stages, one of which is the main event story stages. These stages will serve as players’ primary source of farming and event currencies.
There’s a total of 8 stages in the main story stages section and clearing them will reward players with 8 Originites in total when players first clear stages.
In addition, farming these stages will grant players event currencies needed to be used to exchange for event exclusive materials in the shop. The amount of currencies obtainable is proportional to the amount of sanity spent for each stage and every stage will have a special material that might be dropped once clear, therefore players should pick a stage that has the materials you need and farm that stage throughout the event for maximum efficiency.
EX Challenge Stages
In addition to the main story stages, a total of 8 EX Challenge stages, offering challenging stages that players only need to clear once to claim their full rewards.
When first clearing the EX challenge stages, players will be able to activate the Challenge Mode, enhancing the difficulty of the stages and reward players with an additional Originites for each clear for a total of 8 extra Originites.
These stages are extremely dangerous and difficult to clear, therefore players should pay attention and strengthen their squad before attempting to clear these stages.
Additional Drops Event
During the Event Period, unlike other events, the special event currencies from the To Be Continued Event can be dropped not only from main event story stages but also from special specific normal battle stages like resource stages and Main Story Stages from Chapter 0 to Chapter 10 of the Arknights Main Story.
During this period, when farming materials from these kinds of stages outside of the event, players will be able to obtain the special event currencies even if they are not farming the Event stages. Each stage will reward players with event currencies proportional to the amount of Sanity (or Stamina) they spend on the stage to clear them and they are counted as extra drops, not interfering with the normal drop rates of stages.
It is important to note that certain stages aren’t affected by this change like Contingency Contracts Test Stages, Annihilation stages and other event recollections stages.
Event Shop
The event shop is also available for all players during the event’s duration for players to exchange for special event exclusive items and character upgrading materials.
The main important thing players should focus on getting in the event is the brand new event limited skin available for exchange for the 3* Sniper Operator
In addition, other important items to exchange include Information Fragments, Module Upgrade materials and character upgrading materials available from the shop. The priority should go from Module upgrading materials > Information Fragments > Character EXPs > Skill Books > Other materials.
To Be Continued - Extra Stories
Extra stories is a special feature available for the To Be Continued event where players can spend special Information Fragments in order to unlock 6 different special side stories related to the stories of previous events. After unlocking these story stages, players will be able to play them and read the stories inside of them whenever they like as long as the event is still in its running period.
Players will need to have completely unlocked and read the 6 stories in order to fully finish the To Be Continued event and obtain the special medal associated with the running of the event. The 6 Information Fragments required to unlock these story nodes can easily be exchanged in the Event Shop.
Arknights Record Restoration System
Record Restoration in Arknights refers to a special system where players can obtain special previously event exclusive rewards from previously available side stories and events by completing certain specific objectives or after they have cleared the Side Story recollection of the events.
There are types of Record Restorations in Arknight: 1 for Special Side Stories Events and 1 for Short Side Stories. Each of these types of Record Restorations rewards players with a welfare Operator previously available from the event and other event specific items.
Special Side Stories Record Restoration
The Record Restoration function for special side stories can be found on specific Side stories that have had their stages and stories recorded in the Side Story tab of the main battle screen in the game. These Record Restorations require players to clear specific stages and obtain 3 stars on stages in the Side stories’ main battle stages in order to unlock the rewards in a reward ladder manner.
The notable rewards from these record restorations include the special free welfare operator previously available in the event, helping players to obtain previously event locked operators that they may have missed. In addition, after clearing a specific number of stages, players will also obtain a special Operator Recommended Letter, which when used, instantly unlocks the Potential of the Welfare operator to max, help save time and resources for clearing more event stages and improve specific free operators’ potentials.
Short Side Stories Record Restoration
Short Side Stories Record Restoration function can be access via the Archives tab under the main banner in the main screen of Arknights, after that, players will need to access the Intelligence Tab and click on the Special Intelligence side in order to access the Short Side Stories and unlock the Record Restoration function for Short Side Stories.
Unlike the Special Side Stories Record Restoration, the Record Restoration for Short Side Stories requires players to spend special Information Fragments in order to unlock specific stories related to the side stories and read through them. After reading through a set number of stories from each Short Side Stories, players will be able to obtain the welfare operator and their corresponding Recommended Letter to max out their potentials.
Information Fragments required to unlock stories can be obtained from events or by exchanging them in the Red Certificate Shop tab in the Shop.
