Pull Income Bookkeeping

How to Use the Pull Income Sheet

The sheet is published view-only, so your first step is making your own copy in Google Sheets. Open arkkus's sheet from the link above, then use File > Make a copy to save an editable version to your Google Drive. Your copy will not pick up later revisions from the master sheet, so check the original after each version launch. The preview image above shows the layout you should see once it opens.

From there, work top to bottom. The sheet breaks income down per version, so find the row for the live version (1.5 at the time of writing) and the versions after it. Each row adds up every source the sheet tracks and converts the total into a Headhunting Permit (HH) count. That HH count is the number you actually plan around, because it is what you spend on a banner.

Before you read any totals, set the filters to match how you play. The four toggles decide which income sources count toward the projection, and the difference between all of them on and all of them off is large. A monthly-pass player who leaves the pass toggle off will underestimate their savings, and a free player who leaves it on will plan for pulls they will never get. Spend a minute here and the rest of the sheet becomes trustworthy.

Where Your Pull Currency Comes From

Once the filters are set, it helps to know what the sheet is adding up. Arknights: Endfield pays out pull currency from several streams at once: daily login rewards, AIC quota permits, event shops, version-specific event payouts, and the Origeometry you convert into Oroberyl, the gacha currency. Paid income from the Monthly Pass and the Protocol Pass sits on top. The sheet lists each stream separately, so you can see which ones carry your total.

The streams behave differently over time. Login and quota rewards arrive on a steady schedule, which makes them the most reliable part of any projection. Event payouts come in bursts tied to each version's content, so a version with a large event can outpace a quieter one. Origeometry depends on how actively you farm it, which is why the sheet gives it a separate toggle instead of assuming everyone converts it.

Some income is also tied to pulling itself. Hitting 30 pulls on a limited banner grants the Urgent Recruitment reward of 10 free pulls on that banner, and hitting 60 grants a Headhunting Dossier worth 10 pulls on the next limited banner. The pity system guide covers exactly how those freebies interact with your pity counters. For the sheet's purposes, they count as income only if you actually reach those milestones.

How the Filters Change the Projection

Each filter maps to one of those income streams, so toggling it off shows what your savings look like without that source. The Login & AIC Quota Permits filter controls whether banner-exclusive permits count. Those permits expire when their banner ends, so a player saving across several banners should usually leave them out of long-term savings. Counting them inflates your hoard with currency that will vanish at the patch transition.

The Origeometry Conversion filter assumes you convert 100% of your Origeometry into Oroberyl. Leave it on if you farm and convert every week, and turn it off if you spend Origeometry elsewhere or skip the grind. The Urgent Recruits & HH Dossiers filter adds the freebies from pulling, assuming 30 or 60 pulls per banner. If you skip banners often, switch it off, because you will not hit those milestones on banners you ignore.

The Monthly Pass & Protocol Pass filter models light spending. Toggling it lets you see how many extra HH permits the passes add before you spend any money. The Protocol Pass guide explains the pass tracks and what each one pays, which helps you decide whether the difference in the sheet is worth it for your budget.

Turning the Projection Into a Banner Plan

The projection only matters once you compare it against banner costs. The key number is 120 pulls, the guarantee for the featured limited operator on a banner. Hard pity for any 6-star operator sits at 80 pulls, and that 80-pull counter carries over between character banners of the same type. The 120-pull guarantee does not carry over, so it resets when the banner ends.

That split shapes how you read the sheet. If your projected HH count for the next banner clears 120, you can guarantee the featured operator. If it lands between 80 and 120, you can reach hard pity but not the guarantee, and the result depends on luck. Below 80, most players are better off skipping and saving, and the sheet shows how far one skipped banner pushes you toward the next target.

Run the numbers both ways before you commit. Check the banner history to see how often limited operators have rotated, then use the pity calculator to track where your counters stand today. Pair that with the sheet's projection and you have a full picture: what you have now, what you will earn, and what each banner costs. Treat the projection as a planning floor, since codes and one-off events usually add a little on top.
