Frequently asked questions

Which Endfield tool should a new player use first?

Start with the Daily Checklist and Character Progression Planner. The checklist protects recurring rewards, while the progression planner turns your first operator goal into a concrete material and Sanity list.

Which tool helps with Endfield Artificing?

Use the Artificing Planner before every T4 substat attempt. Select the target gear and substat, then follow the Best Pick recommendation to find a Good Match with the lowest practical craft cost.

What is the difference between the two damage calculators?

The Damage Calculator is the fastest way to compare two stat packages under the same target defenses. The Build & Damage Calculator opens deeper operator-specific sheets and broader build simulations.

Do Endfield Hub tools require an account?

No. First-party Endfield Hub tools are free and do not require a game login or account link. Tools that save state normally use browser storage, so clearing site data or changing devices can remove that saved state.

Are external tools operated by Endfield Hub?

No. Rotation Tracker, MaaEnd, and the linked Industrial Planner are community projects with their own installation, privacy, and update policies. Review each landing page and official project documentation before installing software.

Which tools should I use before pulling on a banner?

Combine Banner History, Pull Income, and the Pity Calculator. Banner History supplies context, Pull Income estimates what you can earn, and the Pity Calculator shows whether those resources reach your stopping point or guarantee.

Which Endfield tools help with factory planning?

Use the D.I.G.E. Power Calculator for power capacity, AIC Planner for layout planning, Industrial Planner for throughput simulation, and Operator Assignments for facility staffing bonuses.

How do I know whether a tool is current?

Check the update note on the individual tool page and compare it with Version History. Data-driven tools update from site data, while recommendations and external projects may require separate review after a patch.
