    If you're a new player (like me) I suggest you don't directly convert OP into Orundum, every 5 levels you can get a free enhancement pack and another one that costs OP from the store.
    If you hold out for a while and buy the OP enhancement packs as they come, you get the same amount of OP as of you directly converted it, but you also get a ton of good resources like LMD, Exp, Skill Upgrade Materials, etc. I'm super glad I waited, it definitely Jumpstarted my progression.
    Also there's no reason to refresh sanity, you get sanity packs left and right in the beginning anyway 💪🏾

      It also equals to a 36 days worth of sanity easily enough to m3 e2 multiple operators
      You get 10 pulls worth of orandum in 2 weeks or just under 5 days if you are going trough a big event
      Using OP to pull is a BORDERLINE inefficient option compared to litterally speeding up your account progress by 5 weeks
      Im not saying that you should immediately turn all OP to sanity or never pull with using them
      I am saying that using them to restore sanity is a much more preferable option and being mindfull with your orandum helps reducing the amount of OPs you would use on pulling
      Saving for a single big event (like limiteds) with orandums and immediately using OP to E2 and mastery all the new characters you got is a mathematically best efficient way of doing account progress
      Saving 3 months for a limited event is enough to give 150-170 pulls while saving 6 months is enough for 300+
      With these much pulls on a limited event you get around 3 6 stars with 150 pulls and 6-7 6 stars + 1 spark operator + countless 5 stars with 300 pulls wich is the most optimal way of pulling in the game afterwich you can use OP to immediately level up all of these new operators to e2 m3 status wich equals to 2/3 e2 m3s per month and i am not even counting the amount of golden certificates and free shop operators wich can be 6 stars themselves on this as well

For skins I'm very selective only get the ones I like and only for the operators that I use. And I have about 150000 Orundum, from just saving. I don't pull on all the banners, if it's a limited banner I'll do 10 or 20 pulls. So far I was only willing to break my savings for Ling and Eben which took 80 and 20 pulls.

    Vifer: "I've been F2P since the start of this game."
    His Orundum stack: *STOP THE CAP*
    But, on an honest opinion: It all comes back to *priority*
    If you really want all the skins that you fancy getting, while doing minimal pulls, then go for it.
    If you really want all the ops and possibly max pot it, then go for it
    There is no wrong way to spend your OP.
    Just be conservative with it.
    Fun fact: In order to reach that much Orundum Stack that Vifer has in this video, you have to play this game since DAY ONE, grinding only Daily-Weekly mission + Annihilation for THREE STRAIGHT YEARS, *WITHOUT PULLING WHATSOEVER* (and that's not even counting the monthly Cert shop Orundum, Paradox Simulation, Annihilation Map first clears, Maintenance Rewards, and Orundum converted from free OP)

    Seems like eveyone forgot about level pack
    that pack is limited. It will stop appearing in the shop at a certain lv 70. So better buy ALL the lvl pack instead of using the OP for gacha roll
    Level pack = Orundum + growth materials
    For example if you buy the lvl pack & it costs 3 OP, you will get 540 orundums plus some extra growth materials
    its a 1:1 ratio in terms of orundums conversion

    @WalrusJoy Před rokem +12

    Strong agree with Vifer's advice. I've been playing Arknights as f2p for about 2 and a half years and this advice is how I spend my OP. As another reason why you shouldn't spend OP on pulls: You can eventually get whatever character you want by either getting an off banner, recuitment (for older characters), or the yellow certificate shop, and you can always try out characters you don't have by borrowing them from friends. The only exception is limited characters which is why I save my pulls for those banners. The Chinese server being 6 months ahead makes it easy to plan and save according you your own priorities as well. Then of course this should probably be the number 1 reason, no character is irreplicable. While some make life easy for sure, you can beat the game without them. If you're f2p you'll probably also get to a point in the game where you won't have the resources to build a a bunch of new characters up to the level where they'll be useful for your account. So if you spend OP for pulls and get a bunch of new characters it will probably take you a long time to build all of them and you'll have to focus on the ones you really like anyway. This got rambly but anyway Arknights is generous just play the events, I'm only missing 19 characters out of the 256 out on global rn.

      @WalrusJoy Před rokem +2

      @@wolfVFV I don't pull the 5 star guarantee and I wouldn't recommend it unless all the 5 stars are good, and you don't have them. For example, if the 3 5 stars were Mulberry, Lapland, Elysium then as long as you get an on banner 5 star you'll get an operator that will help your account. But that's the thing you aren't guaranteed an on banner 5 star, and a lot of the 5 stars aren't super important. You'll also get welfare operators frequently from events.
      I don't think anyone needs to be a meta slave and only use 6 stars, or torture themselves by never pulling and grow to hate the game. However, using a website like the Arknights gamepress one, or Kukkikaze has some good youtube vidoes for beginners explaining things; and get an understanding of which characters are strong and when/why so that you can prioritize what matters to you personally. Not being able to beat content can be demoralizing but that answer isn't ways "you need this character" or "you need more 5 stars". It's usually "you need a way to deal with X situation" but there are multiple ways to do that.
      And lastly 5 stars are honestly so expensive to build compared to the value they bring in a lot of cases. 4 starts are often better because they cost so many less resources.

  • @eternalinsignia
    @eternalinsignia Před rokem +4

    I think 1 which Vifer forget:
    Another easy way to get orundum is by using trade center in the base. This is the MOST EXPENSIVE way as it takes a lot of sanity to convert to orundum which mean less resource to grow your operator. But as F2P which do really strict selective pull, you will not have a lot of operator to grow anyway (and will have a lot of spare sanity). Thus if you are that kind F2P, just do this.
    Building operator: for F2P, it is best to build low rarity operator 4 star with occasionally build 6 or 5 star. Some 4 star with max level, mastery, and module lvl 1 or 3 is not a joke. (Dr. Silvergun basically show you this).

    REPEATABLE Ways to farm Oromdum/pulls
    1) Annihilation Orondum weekly limit starts at 1200 and can be permanently increased to 1700 (complete Outskirts and Downtown) and to 1800 with the rotating one.
    (recommended: complete any Annihilation (easiest Anni 1,Chernobog but takes a bit more stamina) and farm that one daily with the the total proxy
    2) Daily missions grant 100 each day, and weekly 500 each week for a total of 1200 each week
    3) Monthly you can use Commendations to buy 600 orondum for a total of 240 commendations and in the second tier (requires buying out the whole first tier shop with 1490 commendations) you can buy 2x draws for 450 commendations each (recommended to do each month. but only if you are certain you can reach the second tier and buy them)
    4) Monthly login grants 1 free pull at day 17
    so in total thats 3.000 each week or 12.600 each month+3 pulls thats 24 pulls . (More then half of that is just from weekly Annihilations)
    some non repeatable but significant ways
    on top of that there are new events (top priority, can give INSANE amounts of pulls), OP from event stages, Op from story stages, first time clear of old Annihilations stages (1500 Ornondum each) and a tiny amount from base(general not recommended)
    it takes on average (50% chance) 35 pulls on a banner to get a 6 star and is almost guaranteed after 70 pulls.
    70 pulls = 42.000 orondum so every 4 months ish
    210 pulls= 126.000 Orondum, so just with the repeatable ways thats 10 months.
    Very important:
    Always remember that Arknights is just a video game with virtual rewards. Try to only spend money as one's income and reserves allow, and if it is truly worth it. One should take caution that gacha mechanics are generally seen as predatory and may develop gambling addiction. If the latter is the case, please seek mental and/or spiritual counsel immediately as it can (and will) be detrimental to one's life!

    3 year account here, strongly agree with this video, the problem is, even though I also do a decent amount of saving, I'm literally always low on OP due to the fact that every single 6* I own at the moment must be L.90 + a Skin or two. I buy a lot of skins for characters that I use from time-to-time as well so you can guess how many OPs I lose each time there's a new skin line/outfit rerun.
    For context on the 6-rarity thingy. I'm only missing 11 of them on Global. One of them is Carnelian and I have both of her skins. I'm not even worried about any upcoming skins since they come with an event and events literally give you enough to buy at least one of them. Arknights is way too comfortable compared to other gacha games out there that it is borderline scary.

  • @TheDead110
    @TheDead110 Před rokem +3

    I'm a f2p who has been playing since day 1 and what I've been doing and I recommmend is to only spending OP on skins, since pulls cost a lot of OP and using it for stamina a lot of times is not worth it. My recommendation for summoning is to only summon for characters that you really like or for OP/strong characters, a few examples of new OP/strong characters to come on NA are Mlynar and Texas Alter. Some people will say to always go for waifu/husbando instead of meta and I agree, but sometimes going for a few OP/strong characters will make your life easier in the long run (especially if you're small brain like me :,C).
    I think if you want to play Arknights (or any gacha game for that matter) as a f2p the best advice I can give is to have patience. Save your Orundum and don't pull on all banners, save OP for skins that you really like and spend your daily stamina. Obviously do all your daily-weekly missions since all of these resources are important and they are your primary source for Orundum

  • @pedrocherfen1204

    Great video and very informative! But i think i disagree, im mostly F2P, occasionally buying the monthly pass because it has insane value. IMO, having all the operators is a much wiser investment of OP, skins are cool but they are cosmetic only, the real game changers are the operators you ganha for...

  • @MotivationExceeds
    @MotivationExceeds Před rokem +1

    As a monthly card only player since december 2021 i've got quite a lot E2's, masteries and LVL3 Modules without refreshing sanity even once. And it could be even more if i didn't try to farm orundum just to see how it works for a month (not worth it at all, you trade all your monthly sanity for an extra tenroll lmao). My advice is to use OP to buy enhancement packs from shop (117 OP in total which gives you 21K orundum and free materials, which is just better than using OP for pulls and refreshes), and once you got them just save all op for skins.

    Actually I think its right choice to spend op when you just started the game because new player wont be able to even complete all of the event stages, build base and receive free mats from is2 and so on... There no point to spend op on sanity only if you already build some great operators and can complete most of the content by urself.
    But I agree about spending on pulls tho I rather buy almost 2 skins for my operators than spend it on 10 pulls and get a blue bag lol

    The only time I would recommend using OP to refresh sanity is if an event is just about to end but don't have enough sanity to clear all stages. The OP you used would be regained from those extra first clear rewards. Otherwise you'd have to wait a full year to replay those missed stages.

    Best way to use OP as a f2p player is to use it for sanity restore to farm your operators faster also but the level packs if you are below level 70!
    2nd best option is to use it for Gacha currency
    3rd option is to buy skins and this can be your priority or not depending on your taste and howmuch you are willing to buy them

  • @bucketofoddities7070
    @bucketofoddities7070 Před rokem

    AK is very generous in many things. You get LMD passively, you get EXP cards passively, events tend to contain many many valuable things, rates are pretty good (the only rates that I know of that beat AK's 2% is AL's 5% for SR, relative equivalent to 6* in AK), you can save up enough to buy 6*s without pulling if you really wanted to, whenever we get mail we always get good stuff, among others. Life's pretty chill.

    • @kyarumomochi5146
      @kyarumomochi5146 Před rokem

      Do people just mindleslly write these to ego boost arknights or smth?
      3) Yeah a new non limited character takes around A YEAR to come to the shop
      And to get a missed limited unit you need to save SEVEN months straight to reach 300 pulls
      Dont even get me on true limited characters wich are extremely strong and will never rerun wich is horrible for a game like this

    I mean strategy > strength is true, so you don't need to pull new units to beat the game, but then what is op for if you are not interested in costume? I think refreshing gives you so much advantages at early stage: level, mats, exp cards,... and when you have lv 90+ you can get more orundum when farm rocks instead of direct exchage OP.
