Arknights: Endfield Jingyu Valley Template Crates: All 4 Locations

What to know

• Jingyu Valley contains exactly 4 Gear Template Crates in Wuling.
• Each crate unlocks gear crafting recipes, and each only needs to be opened once.
• The four crates are tied to Swordmancer & LYNX Gauntlets, Eternal Xiranite, Tide Surge & Eternal Xiranite Aux Arm, and Type 50 Yinglung gear templates.
• Jingyu Valley becomes available via the Main Mission “Lost in the Marsh.”

In Arknights: Endfield, Jingyu Valley’s template crates are spread around Gloomvale, Stragglers Ford, Sky King Flats, and the Ecological Research Station approach, so an efficient route can clear all four in one loop.

Jingyu Valley Gear Template Crates list

#	Template crate contents	Landmark clue (in-game “how to get”)	Area note
1	Swordmancer Gear + LYNX Gauntlets templates	Northwest of Gloomvale, in one of the passages	Passage-style pathing; easy to miss if moving along the main road.
2	Eternal Xiranite Gear templates	On the dock at Stragglers Ford	Dock placement; typically fastest from nearby shoreline routes.
3	Tide Surge Gear + Eternal Xiranite Aux Arm templates	On a cliff north of Sky King Flats	Elevation-gated by terrain; approach from the north side to reduce climbing.
4	Type 50 Yinglung Gear templates	North of Ecological Research Station, just before the entrance to the city	Sits on the “approach” path; often collected while transitioning toward the city area.

How gear template crates work in Endfield

Gear Template Crates unlock crafting recipes for equippable gear that provide stats and set effects. Each crate is a one-time unlock, meaning once the crate is opened, the associated recipes stay available and do not need to be collected again.

In practice, this makes crate hunting one of the highest-value exploration tasks in a new region: a few minutes of travel can unlock build options that stay relevant for a long time, especially if crafting materials are already stockpiled from regular exploration.

How to collect all 4 Jingyu Valley template crates efficiently

A clean route starts near Gloomvale (crate #1), swings to Stragglers Ford (crate #2), heads toward Sky King Flats’ northern cliff (crate #3), then finishes by the Ecological Research Station approach (crate #4). This ordering reduces backtracking because it moves between the most clearly separated landmarks in a single outward loop.

How to prepare before starting the sweep

Jingyu Valley is tied to progression through the Main Mission “Lost in the Marsh,” so access should be available before attempting a full collectible run. If the area is newly unlocked, it helps to quickly reveal the nearby map and get comfortable with vertical paths around Sky King Flats, since the cliff crate is the only one that commonly causes detours.

Another small efficiency tip: after opening each crate, pause briefly to ensure the unlock registers (and the crate shows as completed/opened), then move on. It prevents wasting time re-checking the same spot later.

Swordmancer & LYNX Gauntlets template crate (northwest of Gloomvale)

The first crate contains templates for Swordmancer Gear and LYNX Gauntlets. The location hint is “northwest of Gloomvale in one of the passages,” which usually means a narrow connector path rather than an open landmark.

Location:

Result:

Use the passage routes northwest of Gloomvale until the Gear Template Crate is located; the clue points to a passage rather than a wide-open field route, so check tight corridors and connecting cut-throughs.

Eternal Xiranite gear template crate (Stragglers Ford dock)

This crate contains templates for Eternal Xiranite Gear. The clue is direct: it is on the dock at Stragglers Ford, so checking the dock edges and walkway endpoints is usually enough.

Location:

Result:

Search the dock area at Stragglers Ford and open the Gear Template Crate positioned on the dock itself; walk the full length of the dock if it is not immediately visible from the shoreline.

Tide Surge & Eternal Xiranite Aux Arm template crate (cliff north of Sky King Flats)

This crate contains templates for Tide Surge Gear and the Eternal Xiranite Aux Arm. The clue places it on a cliff north of Sky King Flats, making vertical positioning the main obstacle.

Location:

Result:

Move to the cliffs north of Sky King Flats and scan cliff edges and upper ledges until the Gear Template Crate is found and opened; if a direct climb looks awkward, circle for a higher entry path rather than forcing a steep route.

How to find Type 50 Yinglung gear template crate (north of Ecological Research Station)

The final crate contains templates for Type 50 Yinglung Gear. The clue says it is north of Ecological Research Station just before the entrance to the city, so it sits along a transition corridor rather than deep inside the station grounds.

Location:

Result:

Travel north of the Ecological Research Station and check the path just before the city entrance to locate and open the Gear Template Crate; treat it like a roadside pickup along the approach.

Extra checks that prevent missing a crate

A few patterns can make these crates feel “missing” even when standing nearby:

• Elevation mismatch: especially near Sky King Flats, the right spot can be above or below the visible route.
• Passage vs. landmark confusion: the Gloomvale crate is described as being in a passage, so focusing only on named points of interest can skip it.
• Approach-path blind spots: the Ecological Research Station crate sits on the approach toward the city entrance, so sprinting through the transition can cause it to be overlooked.
