What to know
-
Xiranite Components are a late-game crafting staple used for Lv.70 endgame gear, so you’ll want an automated, scalable setup rather than hand-feeding materials.
-
One Xiranite Component is crafted in a Gearing Unit using 10 Packed Origocrust and 10 Xiranite.
-
Xiranite is produced in the Forge of the Sky from Stabilized Carbon and Clean Water, and a single Forge is often not enough for comfortable component throughput.
-
Before you optimize, make sure you actually have the needed story/zone progression and stable power, or the chain simply won’t run.
In Arknights: Endfield, once you reach the point where Xiranite Components become relevant, the best blueprint is the one that avoids bottlenecks and keeps crafting running while you do anything else. The goal is to stabilize inputs first (Packed Origocrust + Xiranite), then scale by duplicating the slowest segments.
| Goal | Facility focus | What “best” means here | Common failure point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Craft Xiranite Components nonstop | Gearing Unit | Never idles due to missing Packed Origocrust or Xiranite | Under-supplying Xiranite (too few Forges) |
| Keep Xiranite flowing | Forge of the Sky | Enough Forge capacity to match Gearing Unit demand | Clean Water throughput or power instability |
| Keep Packed Origocrust flowing | Refining/Shredding/Grinding chain | Powder chain never backs up; steady conversion to Packed Origocrust | Missing one link (powder step) causes full stall |
| Make it “blueprint-friendly” | Modular lanes | Easy to duplicate modules as demand grows | Overcompacting and creating belt/port congestion |
What you’re actually building and why it bottlenecks
A Xiranite Component is crafted in a Gearing Unit using 10 Packed Origocrust and 10 Xiranite, so your blueprint’s entire job is to keep those two lines full. The tricky part isn’t the final recipe—it’s producing both inputs consistently and at scale, because components consume Xiranite quickly and punish slow setups.
Prerequisites
If you don’t have access to the needed progression and systems, you can place a gorgeous factory that still can’t run. You generally need Wuling access, progress through The Way of Water questline, Xiranite production unlocked through the story, and reliable power generation before the chain makes sense to optimize.
How to build the best Xiranite Component blueprint
Step 1: Start from the end and place your Gearing Unit first
Place the Gearing Unit as the “anchor” of your blueprint, because everything else exists to feed it 10 Packed Origocrust and 10 Xiranite per craft. Give it clean, dedicated input lanes so you can immediately see which side is starving when output slows.
Step 2: Build the Xiranite side as a scalable module (not a single line)
Xiranite is crafted in the Forge of the Sky and can’t be meaningfully farmed directly, so your blueprint should treat Forge output as a production module you can duplicate.
Since each component consumes 10 Xiranite, one Forge is often not enough; many endgame setups prefer at least two Forges feeding one Gearing Unit for reasonable speed.
Step 3: Feed each Forge of the Sky with Stabilized Carbon and Clean Water
Xiranite production requires Stabilized Carbon and Clean Water, so make those input lines stable before you chase more component throughput. If your water or carbon line dips, your whole Xiranite Component line will mysteriously idle even though the Gearing Unit is placed correctly.
Step 4: Build the Packed Origocrust chain as a continuous refinement pipeline
Packed Origocrust is the other half of the component recipe.
It comes from a multi-step refinement chain that starts with Originium Ore and Sandleaves. In practical blueprint terms, you’re staging Refining/Shredding/Grinding conversions so the line can run indefinitely once inputs are flowing.
Step 5: Prevent the powder chain from backing up
Because Packed Origocrust comes from multiple conversions (ore → origocrust → powder steps → dense powder → packed output), any single clogged segment can stall the whole pipeline. Your blueprint will include enough processing capacity and clean routing so intermediate items don’t block upstream machines.
Step 6: Balance the two inputs before you scale anything
If you scale only the Forge side or only the Packed Origocrust side, you’ll create a permanent surplus on one lane and permanent starvation on the other. The correct optimization loop is: increase the slower side until the Gearing Unit stays busy, then duplicate that module again.
Step 7: Scale by duplicating modules, not by overcompacting one mega-layout
A blueprint that’s easy to expand will outperform a hyper-compact layout once you start needing many components for Lv.70 gear crafting. Xiranite Components are tied to endgame gear progression, so demand ramps up and you’ll feel it if your design can’t scale cleanly.
If you’re aiming for the best, prioritize uptime: stable power, stable water, and enough parallel production so one machine hiccup doesn’t freeze the line. Once you understand the chain and automate it properly, endgame upgrades stop feeling like a wall.
