Where to get Amethyst Components in Arknights: Endfield beta

One of the earliest roadblocks to progress in Arknights: Endfield is the need for Amethyst Components, a resource that is exactly obvious to find, like some others. If you’re having issues getting this resource, here’s where you can locate it.

How to get Amethyst Components in the Arknights: EndField beta

Amethyst Components are essential for crafting gear in Arknights: Endfield. Without them, your characters will be left defenseless and unprepared for battle. Despite having access to Amethyst Crystals fairly early on, you’ll probably notice no obvious method of crafting Amethyst Components specifically, even using a Refiner or Scrapper. After all, refining Amethyst creates Amethyst Fiber, while shredding it creates Amethyst Powder; neither is what you need.

In my experience, the best way to obtain Amethyst Components is to simply loot the overworld. Break open every crate and open up every chest. I’ve found this material to be fairly common from wooden crates, especially in the Valley Pass area, the second major one in the game.

Once you’ve progressed far enough in the game, you can begin crafting Amethyst Components using a Gearing Unit. This is a special building, similar to the Refiner and Shredder, that you can use to make this material. However, it must first be researched, and the ‘recipe’ must be discovered by participating in the VR Simulator next to your Core AIC Area.

This mode gives you a basic rundown of how to make use of the Gearing Unit before giving you the ability to use it at your base. If you cannot yet access it, progress your Main Story until you get access to the Electric Mining Drill Rig.

Once you’ve played your Gearing Unit, you will need the following materials to produce one Amethyst Component.

• 5 x Origocrust
• 5 x Amethyst Fiber

Place the above materials into the Gearing Unit, and you’ll be able to make Amethyst Components in no time.

Crafting gear using Amethyst Components

You can craft Gear, once the feature is unlocked for you, by going to any PAC structure (Sub-PACs included) and choosing the Gear Assembly option.

All but the lowest level gear requires Amethyst Components to be crafted, which is why you need a ton of it if you’re planning to upgrade your characters.
