Where to Get Firebuckle in Arknights: Endfield and Craft Firebuckle Powder

What to know

• Firebuckle is a plant-type gatherable associated with The Hub/Hub West.
• The fastest farming comes from short loops that repeatedly pass dense plant-node terrain instead of long, random wandering.
• Firebuckle Powder is made via manual crafting with a simple 1-to-1 requirement: Firebuckle x1.
• Keeping a small stock of Firebuckle Powder reduces downtime, especially when pushing objectives far from convenient return points.

Firebuckle is the kind of resource that feels inconsistent until a repeatable routine is in place. Once a first pickup is found in The Hub, the goal shifts from “searching” to “cycling” — collecting along routes that naturally refresh as other tasks are completed.

Where Firebuckle spawns in Arknights: Endfield

Firebuckle is tied to The Hub, with Hub West frequently cited as the relevant sub-area. In practical terms, it should be treated like other plant gatherables: it appears as an interactable plant node in outdoor terrain, often in clusters rather than in single isolated spots.

The most common reason it’s missed is pathing. Staying glued to a straight road line can skip nodes that sit a few steps off-route, so the search works better when the route gently zigzags along the edges of vegetation and open ground.

How to find Firebuckle quickly using a repeatable route

A repeatable route is more valuable than a single pinpoint location because it turns Firebuckle into a steady supply over time. The most reliable approach is to anchor the run around a landmark and sweep outward through multiple “node-friendly” surfaces (grass patches, slope edges, and terrain transitions).

Step 1

Return to The Hub and pick a central landmark that is easy to re-locate (a main intersection, a prominent facility area, or a frequently used quest corridor).

Step 2

Walk outward along a main path, but scan both sides and drift toward greenery and open terrain edges where gatherable plants are more likely to be placed.

Step 3

Prioritize terrain transitions: the base of slopes, cliff edges, fence lines, and boundaries between rocky ground and vegetation. These edges often host multiple nodes in a short stretch.

Step 4

Create a loop rather than a straight line. Push forward to a clear turn-around point (bridge, bend, landmark), then return via a slightly different parallel lane to double the number of nodes checked.

Step 5

Add a “micro-reset” rhythm: after a loop, spend a few minutes doing something else nearby (an objective step, crafting, inventory management), then run the same loop again. This keeps farming efficient without feeling like repetitive backtracking.

Step 6

Avoid overfarming a dead lane. If two full loops yield nothing, widen the circle to the next adjacent area in The Hub and repeat the same edge-scanning pattern.

What Firebuckle is used for and why it matters

Firebuckle’s value is simple: it converts directly into Firebuckle Powder through manual crafting at a 1:1 ratio. That makes it a clean sustain pipeline—every pickup immediately translates into a useful consumable without needing a multi-ingredient chain.

Firebuckle Powder is particularly useful when fights become attrition-heavy or when exploration stretches longer than expected. It also supports “momentum play”: instead of returning to safety after every mistake, having healing consumables stocked makes it easier to stay out and keep progressing.

How to craft Firebuckle Powder in Arknights Endfield

Firebuckle Powder isn’t player-craftable yet

• Some plant powders can be crafted via the Backpack Crafting UI (e.g., Buckflower Powder from Buckflower).
• Firebuckle Powder might not have an in-game crafting recipe available, meaning players cannot make it manually — at least not in current versions.

It may only be obtained through other means

• It could be a drop reward, quest reward, mission item, or produced via a factory (AIC) process in which certain natural materials are processed automatically.
• Many complex items (e.g., powders, parts) in Endfield are produced in the AIC system rather than manually. For example, Originium Powder is crafted at the Shredding Unit from raw materials like Originium Ore.

How to make Firebuckle farming feel smoother

A few small habits make a big difference without adding grind:

• Keep the camera sweeping side-to-side while moving; nodes are often visible from slightly off-angle rather than straight ahead.
• Use objectives as anchors: farm while traveling to something else so every minute advances progress.
• Commit to a loop length (for example, 2–4 minutes). Short loops stay efficient and prevent the feeling of aimless searching.

Practical Firebuckle routine that stays relevant

Firebuckle is best approached as a route-based gatherable in The Hub/Hub West, not a one-time treasure hunt. With a short loop, edge scanning, and batch crafting, Firebuckle Powder becomes a consistent sustain option that supports longer exploration and steadier combat pacing.
