For a new player, Arknights: Endfield top-up starts with Origeometry, the paid premium currency that can be exchanged for 75 Oroberyl or 25 Arsenal Tickets per unit. One Operator pull costs 500 Oroberyl, so 10 pulls require 5,000 Oroberyl and 60 pulls require 30,000. The Monthly Pass costs US$4.99 in the listed US store data, grants 12 Origeometry on purchase, and provides 200 Oroberyl per claimed day for 30 days. In 2026, official notices also added Sanity Usage Permits to its daily rewards. New accounts receive beginner permits and free Oroberyl, so paid currency is better calculated after those resources are counted.
The first number worth learning is 500. Chartered Headhunting can consume 500 Oroberyl for one pull or 5,000 for ten, with no better rate for using ten pulls at once. A player starting with 3,000 Oroberyl therefore needs another 2,000 for a ten-pull rather than buying enough currency to cover all 5,000 from scratch.
Origeometry sits one level above that spending currency. Its recorded exchange rates are 1 Origeometry to 75 Oroberyl and 1 Origeometry to 25 Arsenal Tickets, while it can also be used for Sanity restoration and the Originium Supply tier of the Protocol Pass. Converting the entire Origeometry balance into Oroberyl removes those other uses.
That exchange rate makes purchase planning easier with simple arithmetic. A 10-pull costs 5,000 Oroberyl, 20 pulls cost 10,000, 40 cost 20,000, and 60 cost 30,000; converting only Origeometry would correspond to about 66.7, 133.3, 266.7, and 400 Origeometry before any existing Oroberyl or permits are counted.
| Planned pulls | Oroberyl needed | Origeometry equivalent at 1:75 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 500 | 6.67 |
| 10 | 5,000 | 66.67 |
| 20 | 10,000 | 133.33 |
| 40 | 20,000 | 266.67 |
| 60 | 30,000 | 400 |
Those figures are gross requirements, not suggested purchase amounts. New accounts have access to New Horizons Headhunting, where beginner milestone permits are used and a standard 6-star Operator plus a 6-star weapon selector are guaranteed within 40 pulls, according to the current Endfield Talos Wiki documentation. Spending before completing beginner milestones can therefore make the paid portion larger than necessary.
The same point applies to later account progression. An official 2026 update added a permanent Beginner's Chartered Tribute that can award 10 Chartered Headhunting Permits after reaching specified Chapter I progress, while Basic Headhunting Permits were also added to Protocol Pass rewards, Regional Stock Redistribution, and Etchspace Salvage. Ten free Chartered permits represent the equivalent of 5,000 Oroberyl when used for applicable pulls.
A player holding 8 Chartered permits and 4,000 Oroberyl already controls 16 pulls: 8 permit pulls plus another 8 pulls funded by Oroberyl. Buying currency as though the account had zero resources would overstate the immediate requirement by 8,000 Oroberyl-equivalent resources.
That is why a first arknights endfield top up is easier to size after checking four balances: Origeometry, Oroberyl, Basic HH Permits, and Chartered HH Permits. A 2026 account may also have unclaimed mail, event rewards, Protocol Pass currency, or permanent beginner rewards, all of which can change the paid amount needed for the next banner.
Monthly Pass math follows a different schedule because most of the currency arrives over time. Current store documentation lists it at US$4.99 for 30 days, with 12 Origeometry granted per purchase and 200 Oroberyl available each day, alongside an Emergency Sanity Booster and 4 Sanity Usage Permits under the current reward structure. Thirty successful daily claims produce 6,000 Oroberyl, enough for 12 Operator pulls.
Missing a claim matters because the daily portion is not stored indefinitely for later collection. Current documentation states that an unclaimed day is lost, and the official Pristine Monthly Pass Tribute event in 2026 used the same daily structure: 200 Oroberyl refreshed at 04:00 server time and could be claimed up to 30 times, for a maximum of 6,000.
A player logging in for all 30 days receives 100% of the scheduled 6,000 Oroberyl. Twenty-four claimed days produce 4,800, or 80% of the 30-day amount; 15 claimed days produce 3,000, or 50%. Banner timing therefore matters when comparing a monthly product with currency needed immediately.
Protocol Pass spending follows another structure. Current community documentation lists Basic Supply as the default tier, Originium Supply at 29 Origeometry, and Protocol Customized at US$9.99; the latter includes 12,500 Pass Experience and 20 Origeometry at purchase, while paid pass tiers can add a 3% Pass EXP bonus each, stacking to 6% when both apply.
Official 2026 update notes confirm that seasonal Protocol Passes can include Basic HH Permits, Oroberyl, progression materials, and other supplies. Because pass progress resets when a season ends, a player joining near the end of a season should read the remaining duration and attainable levels before spending Origeometry or money on an upgraded tier.
Weapons use a separate spending route, which is why Oroberyl should not be treated as the answer to every purchase. Arsenal Tickets are used for Arsenal Issues and weapon purchases, and Origeometry converts to them at 1:25; Operator pulls can also award Arsenal Tickets, with current documentation listing 20 from a 4-star, 200 from a 5-star, and 2,000 from a 6-star result.
Those amounts create a link between Operator pulling and later weapon purchases. For example, ten 4-star results would provide 200 Arsenal Tickets, while one 6-star result provides ten times that amount at 2,000. Spending Origeometry on Arsenal Tickets before checking tickets already earned through Headhunting can therefore increase the paid portion unnecessarily.
Free Oroberyl also arrives through version content, maintenance, events, and gameplay. The July 2026 Homecoming update listed 900 Oroberyl for maintenance compensation plus another 900 for bug-fix compensation, while Season of Recalling offered 600 and the Monumental Etching: Beastly Howl event offered 1,200. Those four listed amounts total 3,600 Oroberyl, equivalent to 7 full pulls with 100 Oroberyl left.
Small event rewards add up as well. An official 2026 WhatsApp and Messenger subscription event offered 100 Oroberyl per eligible game account, while a photography event offered a server-wide 200 Oroberyl milestone after more than 100,000 eligible submissions. Neither amount funds a full 500-Oroberyl pull alone, but together they cover 60% of one pull.
For someone preparing 20 pulls, a better calculation starts from the 10,000-Oroberyl cost and subtracts usable resources. With 4 Chartered permits and 5,500 Oroberyl already available, 4 pulls cost nothing further and another 11 are covered by Oroberyl, leaving only 5 pulls, or 2,500 Oroberyl, still unfunded.
At the 1:75 exchange rate, a 2,500-Oroberyl shortage corresponds to about 33.34 Origeometry. The calculation should use the shortage after free resources, not the original 10,000-Oroberyl target.
Platform and region information should be checked before payment as well. Official 2026 notices distinguish Asia server schedules from Americas/Europe schedules; for one April event, Asia used UTC+8 while Americas/Europe used UTC-5. Product availability, checkout methods, taxes, and displayed prices can also differ by storefront, so the checkout page on the account actually being used is the relevant price reference.
Account handling matters more when a third party is involved. Gryphline's January 20, 2026 Fair Play Statement explicitly prohibits unauthorized top-ups, along with cheats and unauthorized third-party tools, and states that confirmed violations can result in removal of illicit gains, temporary suspension, or permanent account bans. It also tells players not to transfer, share, or trade game accounts.
A seller asking for the full account password therefore creates a problem beyond the advertised price. The official policy places responsibility for consequences related to account transfer or sharing on the player, so payment convenience should not be separated from account access requirements, refund rules, and whether the purchase method is authorized.
For a first purchase, the numbers can be kept simple: one pull is 500 Oroberyl; ten are 5,000; Origeometry converts at 1:75; the listed Monthly Pass distributes up to 6,000 Oroberyl across 30 claimed days; beginner progression can provide 10 Chartered permits; and current 2026 events have distributed hundreds or thousands of additional Oroberyl. Count owned permits and claimable currency first, then fund only the remaining amount.
