Arknights Zhuying Jiqu Event Guide: Mid-Autumn Check-ins and Late-September Planning
Arknights late-September timeline: three dates that matter
September 25 is the hinge of this update window. The collaboration event closes in the early morning, the outfit store rotates the same day, and the next check-in begins on September 28. Miss one and you wait until next year.
| Date and time | Event | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Sep 25, 03:59 | 「Wuyou Mengyi」 Carlton Art Museum exchange closes | Final deadline |
| Sep 25, 04:00 - Oct 9, 03:59 | Zhuying Jiqu outfit releases plus six reruns | Live |
| Sep 28, 04:00 - Oct 8, 03:59 | 「Wentai Ceding」 check-in opens | Upcoming |
Version and source notes
The live client version is 2.7.71, updated September 3, 2026, with hotfix announcements on September 11 and September 20. Data in this guide comes from two tiers: official announcements for dates and item names, and PRTS announcement mirrors for reward lists. Item expiry dates always follow the in-game display.
Why the dates are stacked like this
The client runs version 2.7.71 while the live activities follow the holiday calendar rather than the client build. That is why an outfit window, two check-ins and a collaboration shop can all land inside the same ten days.
Arknights Zhuying Jiqu outfits: a 14-day window
The official preview went live on September 15, 2026 and splits the event into four parts: the limited activity itself, limited-time packs, new and returning outfits, and the check-ins.
What is on the outfit shelf
The new outfit is 0011/Yun series - Zhaohuanying - Luwuguan. Six reruns join it: Chenxing series (Supreme Verdict - Irene, Vestige Traveler - Jiezhan, Newbie Halo - Kroos the Keen Glint), Thorndrive series (Daybreak - Bingniang), and 0011/Yun series (Moon Among Pines - Duoling, Cassia Window - Caidu). Everything runs September 25, 04:00 to October 9, 03:59.
The pack point cap is 4500
The Zhuying Jiqu packs use points earned from limited training tasks. One rule is easy to miss: after the event ends, overflow points above 4500 are converted at 1 point = 20 LMD and mailed back. So clearing the pool is not necessary, but if you are pushing for the Senior Operator Training Device, keep the end-of-event total under 4500.
Arknights Jinfeng Yingyue check-in: five days in detail
Check-in events are not about volume; they are about not missing a day. The table below matches the in-game page day for day.
| Cumulative day | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 (dough rolling) | 30,000 LMD, 「Guanghan Yue」 furniture set x1 | Mid-Autumn exclusive |
| Day 2 (filling) | Recruitment Permit x5, 「Zhenyeguang」 furniture set x1 | |
| Day 3 (mooncake baking) | Mooncake x1 (120 sanity), Mid-Autumn furniture x1 | Expiry follows in-game display |
| Day 4 | Intermediate Battle Record x20, Pure Gold x20 | |
| Day 5 | Orundum x200, Expedited Plan x5 | Best value in the run |
You only get one mooncake style
The baking activity only grants the mooncake and furniture matching the style you pick. All three styles restore 120 sanity, so choose by furniture preference instead of treating it as a resource decision. 120 sanity is worth roughly 6.7 runs of an 18-sanity main stage, so use it the same day rather than sitting on it until the version ends.
Holiday check-in risk
Server time resets at 04:00. If you are travelling over the National Day break and only log in late at night, you can cross the reset line by a few hours. Finishing the daily check-in before you leave is more reliable than remembering it from a hotel.
Arknights Wentai Ceding check-in and the holiday window
「Wentai Ceding」 runs September 28, 04:00 to October 8, 03:59, covering the entire National Day holiday. The official announcement excerpt does not list individual rewards, so treat the in-game list as authoritative; typical check-in structures include LMD, Orundum, battle records, recruitment permits and module materials.
Where to spend holiday sanity
Long holidays turn sanity into a grind trap. Prioritise three things: current event stages if an exchange shop is still open, module data blocks and module materials, and class chip stages. Main story material stages can wait, because they are permanent content.
What not to do
Do not burn the holiday sanity on generic material farming with no target. Pick one bottleneck, finish it, then stop for the day.
Arknights Wuyou Mengyi collaboration: closing checklist
The Arknights x BanG Dream! Ave Mujica SideStory ran September 4, 16:00 to September 25, 03:59. The stages 「Wanban Jiemeng」 and 「Yongbao Mingyun」 closed on September 18, 03:59, but the Carlton Art Museum exchange stays open until 03:59 today.
Exchange priority
The shop includes tokens for the welfare operators Yatenji Wakaba and Yahata Umiri, part of the Dream Castle Hall furniture set, Headhunting Permits, module materials, high-tier materials, LMD, battle records and furniture parts. Order: operator tokens first, then permits and module blocks, then replaceable resources.
Limited headhunting rules
Yatenji Wakaba and Yahata Umiri are 5-star welfare operators available only in this event. Sakurako Togawa (6-star, 50% of 6-star rate) plus Misumi Hatsuka and Wakaba Mutsumi (5-star, 50% of 5-star rate) come from the 「Doll's Ballad」 limited headhunt, which does not join standard or mid-tier headhunting afterwards. One general pity rule is worth remembering: after 50 consecutive pulls without a 6-star, the next 6-star chance rises from 2% to 4% and keeps climbing by 2% to 100%, but that counter resets when a limited headhunt ends.
Arknights resource planning: what to level, pull, and farm
No new limited headhunt is competing for your resources right now, so plan forward.
| Priority | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| High | Empty the Carlton Art Museum | Exchange closes September 25, 03:59 |
| High | Complete both check-ins | The mooncake and Orundum sit in the later days |
| Medium | Buy outfits as needed | New and rerun items share the same 14-day window |
| Medium | Top up module blocks and class chips | Holiday sanity is abundant, long-term gaps are not |
| Low | Main story material stages | Permanent content |
Modules before collaboration operators
If you can only do one thing, farm module data blocks first. The ceiling of a 5-star welfare operator is limited by potential and trust, while module gates are universal. Flip the order if you already pulled Sakurako Togawa and plan to use her long term: limited headhunt operators do not return to standard headhunting, so leaving her half-built costs more than for a permanent-pool unit.
