Arknights Yesterday's Sea at a Glance: Three Open Windows

The event stages run from October 9 at 12:00 to October 30 at 03:59 and unlock after clearing Main Story 1-10 . The main body, Rea-Iberia, runs to October 23 at 03:59, while the companion story line, "Our Iberia", opens a week later on October 16 at 16:00.

Salvage Plan and the store are two separate tracks

Salvage Plan is the mission track: it hands out the free five-star Travelbone, part of the Port Metropolis Guest Room furniture set, module materials, and the store currency, Future Spyglass. The Labour Ration Store is the spending side and stays open from October 9 to October 30 at 03:59.

How to handle the clash with Vector Breakthrough #3

Vector Breakthrough #3 opened on September 29 at 16:00 and closes on October 20 at 03:59, with milestones extended three extra days to October 23 at 03:59.Push those milestones to the outfit tier and then stop, because milestones only drop currency and give nothing extra once the tier is reached.

Three more things land in October

Mid-October brings the Arknights x National Library "Hengyuan Jinliang" login event, plus the Integrated Strategies expansion for Sunken Black Flow Forest Sea. Late October adds Museum of Sight: Evolution .Only Yesterday's Sea ships new operators.

Arknights Yesterday's Sea Labour Ration Store: What to Buy First

The store closes on October 30 at 03:59, a week after the stages. That extra week only covers leftovers, so set the order on day one instead of waiting until the currency piles up.

Outfit and permits come first

The two highest-value items are headhunting permits and the outfit "Poet's Holiday - Meteor" (Time Series). Permits convert straight into gacha value, with one pull costing 600 Orundum, and the outfit only returns later through the lookback exhibition rather than at its original price. Travelbone's tokens rank third, because they decide whether the five-star reaches full potential.

Material trades come later

Module materials and advanced growth materials sit in the "buy if short, defer if not" tier. LMD and battle records go last: the base and Annihilation supply both daily, while event currency only comes around once per event. If you are planning Arknights materials stockpiles, this order is the one to copy.

Priority	Item	Reasoning	Deadline
1	Headhunting permits	Only item that converts into pulls	Oct 30, 03:59
2	Poet's Holiday - Meteor outfit	Only returns via lookback exhibition	Oct 30, 03:59
3	Travelbone tokens	Decides full potential	Oct 30, 03:59
4	Module growth materials	Demand accumulates over time	Oct 30, 03:59
5	Advanced growth materials	Shared by promotion and mastery	Oct 30, 03:59
6	LMD / battle records	Base and Annihilation supply both	Oct 30, 03:59

Arknights Yesterday's Sea First-Week Sanity Plan

How to budget sanity

Natural regeneration runs about 240 points a day, so a week is roughly 1680 points. Event currency pays best in the first week, so do not clear potions early. Clear main-stage first-time rewards first and advance Salvage Plan before deciding which stage to farm.

When to actually drink potions

Save them for the back half. First-time clears are about beating the stage rather than farming currency, so weaker accounts save sanity by clearing them first and then drinking potions once the rotation is familiar. The event runs to October 30 at 03:59, so time is not the constraint.

Why Travelbone cannot be skipped

Travelbone is only obtainable inside Yesterday's Sea and is not added to Sea Abyss Cruise, any Standard Headhunting, or Mid-Year Headhunting.That means the operator disappears once the event ends, so push Salvage Plan progress ahead of farming extra materials.

Arknights Yesterday's Sea Banner: Clemensa, Pity and the Standard Pool

Two dates that decide the window

Sea Abyss Cruise runs from October 9 at 12:00 to October 23 at 03:59. The six-star Clemensa takes 50% of six-star rates, while five-stars De Toledo and Firesentry share 50% of five-star rates. The banner is a Standard Headhunting pool, so 150 consecutive pulls without the rate-up six-star guarantees it on the next six-star. Both new operators join the permanent standard pools after October 22 at 04:00, so the dedicated window is only two weeks.

Reading Clemensa's role

Community previews read Clemensa as an Origin Guard.Exact multipliers are not yet published, so treat official announcements as authoritative. The practical test is how many Origin-style carries you already own: with a built Origin core she is reinforcement, without one she justifies a pity budget.

What about De Toledo and Firesentry

The two five-stars only have rarity and rate published, with no mechanics shown yet . If you need a Guard slot, wait for live data; if you need a five-star utility pick, wait for reviews. A 50% split between two five-stars is a lot of variance for one chase.

Arknights Yesterday's Sea Packs and Base Additions

Are the packs worth it

The Guard Chip Pack gives 4 Guard Dualchips, 5 Guard Chips, and 45/25/10 of the technique summaries; the Port Gift Fund Box gives 13 Originite Prime and 300,000 LMD.The chip pack suits anyone committed to raising a Guard this patch, and the fund box suits players short on Prime.

Base additions are a long-term play

This patch adds a recycling station and an activity room to the base.Both pay out over the long term and are unrelated to event progress, so there is no need to rush them in week one. Scanning to add friends and a login-page polish arrived alongside them.
