Three things land on October 24 in Arknights: the rerun skin shop opens at 04:00, the Thank-You Celebration preview stream starts at 19:30, and Hengyuan Jinliang closes on October 30 at 03:59. Meanwhile Gray Stone Theater replaces Silent Prayer Shrine on October 26 at 04:00. If your Originite Prime savings are thin, do not touch the skin shop today, and treat this arknights schedule as a closing checklist rather than a shopping list.

Arknights October 24 overview: three timelines running in parallel
The three lines have different time scales. The stream is information and happens once tonight. The skins are spending and stay open until November 21 at 03:59. Annihilation is output and only changes on October 26 at 04:00. Information first, spending last, output on a weekly cadence, otherwise you will empty your Originite Prime in the skin shop and regret it on Monday.
What to watch in tonight's 19:30 stream
The official Producer Letter #70 states that the 2026 Thank-You Celebration preview stream runs on October 24 at 19:30 and covers celebration activities, a new SideStory, the next limited banner and future version plans, per the official letter dated 2026-10-17. Of those four, only the limited banner could make you spend tonight. The other three are scheduling references.
Official channels are the Bilibili room 5555734, Douyin, Weibo and Kuaishou, according to the same letter. Note three things while watching: the limited banner window, the entry ticket type for the new SideStory, and whether a new Annihilation or permanent mode appears. Art and voice showcases are watch-once content.
The Producer Letter rewards expire today
Producer Letter #70 grants 200 Originite Prime and 5 Polyester Groups, distributed on October 17 at 17:00 with a 7-day mail validity, per the official letter. Seven days lands on today around 17:00. Expired mail attachments are not reissued, and this is the easiest item to forget today.
Arknights Hengyuan Jinliang: three sign-ins are enough
Hengyuan Jinliang is the National Library crossover, running October 16 at 16:00 to October 30 at 03:59. Signing in for a cumulative 3 days grants the Fluffy Reading Companion and other furniture rewards, per the official notice dated 2026-10-11. Counting from October 16, three sign-ins are done by around October 19. Starting today you still have six calendar days before the event closes, which is plenty.
Only one bundle is worth a look
The Splendid Books bundle contains 800 Originite Prime and three avatars (Shanhai Taye, Yongle Chang'an, Tanyuan Kaiwu), sold October 16 at 16:00 through November 06 at 03:59, per the official notice. Do the math: at 600 Originite Prime per pull, 800 is about 1.4 pulls, so you are really buying avatars.
The Great Wasteland bundle offers the Dahuang interface theme and the Qingsang scene skin, and the notice explicitly says this rerun no longer enjoys the first-release discount, per the official notice dated 2026-10-11. Treat the current price as the price.
Why the crossover skins reject vouchers
The three CROSSOVER outfits are Origin Longevity - Shu, Night Candle - Zhuhuang and Prosperous Age - Linlang Shihuaiya. The notice adds a standalone warning: these outfits cannot be exchanged with the Outfit Voucher item, per the official notice dated 2026-10-11. The rule is not that vouchers work on any skin, but that collab skins are explicitly excluded. If you have been saving vouchers, they will not help here.
Rerun skins opened at 04:00 today
From 04:00 today, 21 rerun outfits are on sale until November 21 at 03:59, including Era series Glory Road - Vina Victoria and Mourning - Theresa, the Testament Collection series Disordered Humility - Wandering Lapis, and the Combat Bloodline series Sublimation - Skadi the Corrupting Heart, per the official notice. The Rhodes Island Fashion Review also opens with the same window, featuring Offset Pilgrimage series Contemplation Court - Hoederer and Listen - Weedy.
Four weeks on sale is the key detail: the skin shop outlasts Hengyuan Jinliang by three weeks. Priority today should be event closing, then stream information, then skins.
Arknights Gray Stone Theater: Annihilation swaps on October 26
Gray Stone Theater runs October 26 at 04:00 through January 25, 2027 at 03:59, requires clearing Main Story 2-8, and replaces the current Silent Prayer Shrine, which is archived into Hypothetical Targets after closing, per the official notice dated 2026-10-11. In practice, Silent Prayer Shrine becomes unavailable after October 26 at 04:00.
How to schedule Sanity during the swap week
Annihilation pays Originite Prime on a weekly cycle with a weekly cap, per the in-game Annihilation interface. The classic mistake in a swap week is clearing the old stage on Monday, then discovering most of the weekly cap is gone by the time the new stage arrives on Wednesday. Leave this week's Annihilation until after October 26 and clear the new stage in one run.
Where is Gray Stone Theater and how fast is it?
Gray Stone Theater is a permanent Annihilation commission accessed through Operation, Annihilation, Commission, and requires Main Story 2-8, per the official notice. Each attempt costs a fixed amount of Sanity and pays a fixed amount of Originite Prime, so the fastest answer is not a low-difficulty map but one weekly run that maxes the cap. Extra runs pay nothing extra, which is the single most useful arknights annihilation rule during a swap week.
Arknights Sanity and Originite Prime budget
Sanity regenerates one point every 6 minutes, or 240 points per day, per the in-game Sanity rules. From October 24 to October 30 there are 7 days, so natural regeneration alone gives 1680 points.
| Use | Expected cost this week | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Hengyuan Jinliang sign-in | 0 Sanity | Sign-in rewards cost no Sanity (official notice 2026-10-11) |
| Annihilation | Fixed per run, one run per week | Check the in-game interface |
| Main story and materials | Everything left | Pre-celebration farming window |
How much Originite Prime to hold
A ten-pull costs 6000 Originite Prime at 600 per pull, per the in-game gacha interface. Producer Letter #70 gives 200 and the Splendid Books bundle gives 800. Together that is 1000, one sixth of a ten-pull.
Do not drink sanity potions today
The preview stream is tonight, and the limited banner window has not been announced in detail, per the official letter. Potions expire. Drinking them today and finding out tomorrow that the banner has not opened is a pure loss.
Is this Arknights schedule worth spending on?
The short answer: no Originite Prime today unless you are a skin collector.
- Free-to-play and monthly card players: spend nothing. The sign-in furniture is free, Annihilation is a steady income, and neither skins nor bundles add combat power.
- Skin collectors: the rerun window runs to November 21 at 03:59, so there is no rush. The only thing to confirm today is that the three collab outfits reject vouchers.
- Limited-banner savers: wait for the 19:30 stream. Banner timing and characters are not yet announced.
