One of the earliest roadblocks to progress inArknights: Endfieldis 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’re able to 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 simplyloot the overworld. Break open every crate and open up every chest. I’ve found this material to be fairly common fromwooden crates, especially in theValley Passarea, the second major one in the game.
Once you’ve progressed far enough in the game, you can begin crafting Amethyst Components using aGearing Unit. This is a special building, similar to the Refiner and Shredder, that you can use to make this material. However, it must first beresearched, and the ‘recipe’ must be discovered by participating in theVR Simulatornext to yourCore 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 yourMain Storyuntil you get access to theElectric Mining Drill Rig.
Once you’ve played your Gearing Unit, you will need the following materials to produce one Amethyst Component.
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 may craft Gear, once the feature is unlocked for you, by going to any PAC structure (Sub-PACs included) and choosing theGear 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.
