With the latest update in Arknights: Endfield, everyone is finally exploring the new Qingbo Stockade zone, and as expected, optimization did not take long. The community has already started mapping out efficient zipline routes to cover all the important gathering points, and a couple of paths are quickly emerging as the most practical for daily and weekly runs.
If you are looking to save time while grabbing everything important, here are two routes that get the job done. The first route has been shared by players on Reddit, and the second route has been recommended by Game8.
Route 1 – Top Teleport (Simple and Efficient)
This route starts from the northern teleport point and is probably the easiest one to run consistently. On the image shared on top, you can follow the Red Arrows. From the teleport, you want to:
- Head left toward the Depot
- Move right of the teleport to grab the first gathering node
- Go down toward the Cuprium ore nodes
- Continue toward the right side of the Causeway Trail mid-area
- Finish near the entrance of the Main Fort, where another gathering node is located
It is a very straightforward path that naturally chains together the main resource spots without requiring detours.
One thing to note is that the Depot is not essential right now. There are currently no deliveries there, so once it is upgraded, there is little reason to revisit it regularly. That said, placing a zipline there anyway is not a bad idea, at least you will already be set up for later.
Route 2 – Causeway Trail Teleport (Flexible Alternative)
The second route starts from the teleport point located to the left of the Causeway Trail. On the image shared at the top, you can follow the Purple Arrows. From this starting point:
- Head down-right to the first gathering node
- Loop back through the Causeway Trail area
- Go up-left toward the Depot
- Then move up right to reach the second gathering node
This route covers roughly the same important locations but from a different angle. Basically, this one can feel smoother depending on your current positioning or rotation.
Just like with Route 1, the Depot is optional for now, so you can skip that segment if you want a shorter setup.
Optional Extension for Extra Mining Route
For those who might want to push things a bit further, there is also the option to extend either route. You can add a detour heading down-left toward a secondary mining area. It is not strictly necessary since, in theory, once your mining is set up, you have no reason to go back there, but it is a possibility if you are trying to max out your Zipline route.
Two Good Routes, No Wrong Choice
At the end of the day, both routes work well. This is not a case where one path clearly dominates, and the difference mostly comes down to where you prefer to start and how you want to place things.
The Qingbo Stockade will most likely continue to get more content with future patches, so keep in mind that these routes may change. But for now, these give you an efficient way to farm the zone without overthinking it.
