Welcome to the most comprehensive guide on Arknights Endfield Origeometry available. If you’ve been diving into the vast, hazardous landscapes of Talos-II, you’ve likely stumbled upon this strange, glowing resource. But like many players in March, you might be wondering: What exactly is this stuff? Why is my inventory filling up with it? And most importantly, how do I get more of it without spending real money?

I’ve spent countless hours exploring the sectors, optimizing my base production, and fighting off Erebos monsters to bring you the ultimate breakdown of Origeometry. In this guide, I’ll cover everything from its fundamental uses in the Endfield Industry system to the most efficient free-to-play farming routes.

What is Origeometry in Arknights Endfield?

In Arknights: Endfield, Origeometry isn’t just another fancy loot drop; it is essentially the “data-crystallized” lifeblood of the planet’s technology. Lore-wise, it represents the geometric patterns inherent in the Originium arts and the environment. Mechanically, it serves as a multifunctional bridging currency.

Think of it as a middle-ground resource. While LMD (Landium) is your general currency and Battle Records are for XP, Origeometry is the “tech tree” fuel. You cannot advance your Endfield Industry (your base) or upgrade your Operators’ key modules without a healthy supply of it.

Early in the game, you might feel overwhelmed by how much you get, but trust me, by the mid-game (around Sector 3 and 4), you will be starving for it. That’s why establishing a steady flow now is critical.

Primary Uses and Functions of Origeometry

Understanding where to spend your resources is just as important as knowing how to get them. Many new players make the mistake of dumping Origeometry into early-game upgrades they don’t need. Let’s break down the three main functions.

1. Operator Development (The “Module” System)

Unlike Arknights (the mobile predecessor), Endfield utilizes a more robust progression system involving Modules and Arts tuning. Origeometry is required to unlock and upgrade these Modules.

Unlocking Potential: To promote an Operator to higher Elite tiers, you often need specific quantities of Origeometry to stabilize their Originium arts.
Skill Mastery: Leveling up skills past a certain threshold (usually Level 7) consumes Origeometry alongside Skill Summaries.
Pro Tip: Don’t spread your resources too thin. Focus on your main team (an AoE Caster, a Vanguard, and a Defender) rather than trying to level up every Operator you pull. Check out our Best Operators in Arknights Endfield guide to see who is worth investing in.

2. Base Construction (The Endfield Industry)

This is the biggest sink for Origeometry. Your mobile base is your lifeline in the wild.

Building Upgrades: Upgrading your Manufacturing Station, Power Plant, and Trading Post requires increasing amounts of Origeometry.
Efficiency Boosters: You can use Origeometry to “tune” your buildings, reducing construction times or increasing output yield. This is the “secret” to reaching the endgame economy quickly.

3. Crafting and Synthesis

The Crafting Bench allows you to convert lower-tier materials into higher-tier ones. Origeometry acts as the “catalyst” or the “glue” for these transactions.

Example: If you have tons of basic Polymer but need Refined Polymer, you pay an Origeometry fee to process it.
Equipment Repair: Certain field equipment (like your drones and exploration bikes) requires Origeometry for heavy repairs.

How to Get Origeometry for Free?

Now, let’s get to the meat of the guide: hoarding this resource without opening your wallet. The game is generous, but you have to know where to look.

1. Exploration Nodes (The Mining Method)

This is the most consistent source. As you explore the open world, keep an eye out for floating, geometric crystal formations.

Standard Nodes: Found frequently in caves and near Originium clusters. These give small amounts (x10 to x50).
Rich Deposits: These are rarer and usually guarded by Elite enemies. They drop significantly more (x200+) and have a chance to drop Pristine Origeometry, which is worth 5x the normal amount.
My Strategy: I always keep a high-Perception Operator in my party. Some crystals are hidden behind breakable walls or obscured by tall grass. High Perception highlights these nodes on your mini-map.

2. Combat Encounters and Elimination Runs

Fighting isn’t just for survival; it’s profitable.

Outbreak Eliminations: These are timed events that appear on the map. They consist of waves of enemies. Completing these grants a chest that almost always contains Origeometry.
Elite Enemies: Specifically, enemies classified as “Arts-Infused” or “Constructs” have a high drop rate for Origeometry shards.

3. Daily and Weekly Assignments

Don’t ignore your logistics!

Daily Commission: Some of the daily commissions specifically task you with collecting Origeometry or mining a node. Completing these gives you a direct payout plus bonus completion rewards.
Weekly Supply Drops: The Weekly “Endfield Front” pass usually includes Origeometry bundles as milestone rewards. It’s free to grind, so make sure you claim it.

4. The Trading Post Arbitrage

This is an advanced strategy that requires some starting capital but yields massive results.

Sometimes, the Trading Post (which rotates its stock every 24 hours) sells Origeometry Dust or Shards for cheap, raw materials (like Iron or Wood) that you have in excess. You can buy these, use the Crafting Bench to synthesize them into solid Origeometry, and then use that for upgrades. It is essentially “printing” money if you monitor the market fluctuations.

Best Farming Routes for Origeometry in 2026

Running around randomly is inefficient. Based on the current map meta in March, here are the two best loops I use daily.

Route A: The Low-Level Loop (Sector 1 & 2)

Best for beginners or early-game players.

Start at the Forward Camp in Sector 1.
Head North towards the Abandoned Mine. There are 3 standard nodes here.
Defeat the Elite Defender at the end of the mine (guaranteed drop).
Teleport to the Sector 2 East Gate.
Follow the river South. There is a Rich Deposit hidden behind a waterfall.
Loop time: ~10 minutes.
Yield: ~400-500 Origeometry.

Route B: The High-Risk High-Reward Loop (Sector 3)

Best for mid-game players with a leveled squad.

Spawn at the Talos-Industrial Ruins.
Clear the patrol of mechs. They drop Origeometry directly.
Hack the security terminal (requires Logic Operator) to open the armory. Inside is a massive Pristine Origeometry node.
Exit and head towards the Crystalline Wasteland.
Trigger an Outbreak Elimination event (usually spawns near the crater).
Loot the chest.
Loop time: ~15 minutes.
Yield: ~1,200 Origeometry (plus rare gear).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I learned these the hard way so you don’t have to.

Upgrading Every Building Equally: Don’t try to keep your Power Plant and your Dorm at the same level. Focus on the Power Plant first. A better power plant generates more electricity, which boosts your other buildings’ efficiency.
Ignoring the “Prestine” Variant: If you see a blue-glowing Origeometry node (Pristine), do not mine it with a low-level mining tool. Use your highest-tier drill to maximize the yield. Using a weak tool wastes 30% of the potential resource.
Spending Real Money on Packs: The in-game store offers Origeometry bundles. Do not buy them. The rates are terrible compared to what you can farm in an hour of gameplay. Save your premium currency for Operator banners.

Advanced Tips for Resource Management

Once you have a stockpile, you need to manage it. Origeometry is capped by your storage capacity, and if you hit the cap, you stop earning it. That’s a disaster.

Upgrade Storage ASAP: The first facility you should upgrade in your base is the Warehouse. It’s cheap, and the returns on space are immediate.
Craft “Consumables”: If you are close to your cap but can’t upgrade anything yet, craft “Portable Energy Packs.” These cost Origeometry but can be sold for LMD or used later. It keeps the economy flowing.
Save for Limited Events: The developers often release time-limited events that require massive amounts of Origeometry to unlock unique story branches or rewards. Always keep a “rainy day” fund of at least 5,000 Origeometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest way to farm Origeometry in Arknights Endfield?

Currently, the fastest method is grinding “Outbreak Elimination” events in Sector 3. These events are repeatable (though rewards diminish slightly on repeated runs) and drop high-tier loot chests containing Origeometry.

Can I buy Origeometry with LMD?

No, you cannot directly buy Origeometry with LMD. However, you can use LMD to buy materials from the Trading Post that can be synthesized into Origeometry, or you can buy packs that contain it with real money (which I advise against).

Is Origeometry used to pull Operators?

No. Gacha pulls (Headhunting) use a special currency called “Permit” or “Permit: Advanced.” Origeometry is strictly for progression, upgrades, and base building.

What happens if my Origeometry storage is full?

If your storage is full, any additional Origeometry you collect from nodes or enemies will be lost. You will see a notification saying “Inventory Full.” Always check your capacity before heading out on a long farming loop.

Does the difficulty setting affect drop rates?

Yes, playing on a higher difficulty setting (Hard or Nightmare) increases the drop rate of “Pristine” Origeometry and Elite enemy loot. However, it consumes more Sanity/AP. If your team is strong enough, Hard mode is more efficient for farming.

Conclusion

Origeometry is the engine that keeps your Arknights Endfield experience running smoothly. Whether you are a free-to-play player or a whale, managing this resource efficiently will dictate your progress speed. By following the routes above and avoiding the common spending traps, you’ll max out your base and Operators in no time.
