What to know
-
Fluffed Jincao Powder restores 1278 HP plus 20% of max HP, which is why it stays powerful as your operators get tankier.
-
Auto-consumption healing items trigger when the holder falls below 60% HP, so you get clutch healing without stopping to open menus mid-fight.
-
You farm the Fluffed Jincao plant drops by running repeatable Jincao plot harvest cycles, then craft the powder from the drops.
-
The setup is easiest once you have Wuling access to the Core AIC area upgrades and the agricultural test site, where you can place a full plot layout.
In Arknights: Endfield, once you set up a repeatable Jincao plot loop, Fluffed Jincao stops being a rare lucky pickup and turns into something you can stockpile. If you like building reliable combat safety nets, this is one of the most practical items you can aim for.

Why Fluffed Jincao Powder is so strong
Flat healing is great early, but it starts to feel small as enemy damage ramps up. This item avoids that problem by adding a percent-based heal on top of a big flat chunk, so every use stays relevant as your builds and gear push your HP higher.
It also plays nicely with hectic combat because the value comes from instant recovery, not gradual regeneration. When you are getting chunked down, that timing difference matters.
Locations involved in this farm loop
You are mainly working around Wuling progression, specifically the point where you can access the main Core AIC area upgrades and the agricultural test site.
The agricultural test site matters because it lets you place plot farms in a way that is easy to repeat and scale up.
How to make Fluffed Jincao Powder with the plot method
Step 1: Progress until the agricultural test site is available
Keep moving through the Wuling story until you have access to the Core AIC area upgrades and the agricultural test site. If you try to do this too early, you can still craft weaker alternatives, but the repeatable automation-friendly loop becomes much smoother once you are here.
Step 2: Gather Jincao to start your planting loop
Go out and collect enough Jincao to begin. Your goal is not just to hold Jincao, but to convert it into a self-sustaining cycle where harvests feed the next planting.
Step 3: Convert Jincao into Jincao seeds
Use the seeding unit to convert Jincao into Jincao seeds.
This is the backbone of repeatability, because it keeps you from relying on constant open-world gathering.
Step 4: Produce carbon bricks for plot crafting
Make carbon bricks, since you will need them to craft multiple farming plots. Do this step early so you do not stall out right when you are ready to scale the farm.
Step 5: Craft 18 Jincao plots
Open your backpack crafting menu.
And craft 18 Jincao plots.
This is the max plot count you can place in one farming area for this setup, and hitting the cap is what makes the rare-drop rolls feel consistent over time.
Step 6: Place the plots at the agricultural test site in a clean layout
Head to the agricultural test site and place your 18 plots with spacing that makes pathing and interactions easy. Keep the layout simple and repeatable, because you will be cycling this farm a lot.
Step 7: Set up irrigation with fluid pumps and sprinklers
Place fluid pumps and connect them to sprinklers to supply the plots.
Because plot farming here is hands-on compared to typical base blueprint placement, take your time to connect everything neatly so you do not have to rebuild later.
Step 8: Germinate all plots
Germinate each plot so the growth cycle begins. Once everything is running, you are essentially waiting out the cycle and returning to harvest on rhythm.
Step 9: Let watering cycles complete, then harvest
Wait for the watering cycle to finish, then harvest the plots. In practice, you may find you need multiple timer drops before you can collect, so do not panic if it is not harvestable immediately after the first cycle.
Step 10: Look for Fluffed Jincao drops during harvest
As you harvest Jincao, you have a chance for the rare Fluffed Jincao plant to appear from the plots. This is the key: you are using plot volume and repetition to turn rare drops into a predictable supply.
Step 11: Craft Fluffed Jincao Powder from the Fluffed Jincao you obtain
Open the crafting menu and craft Fluffed Jincao Powder using the Fluffed Jincao you got from harvesting.
Keep your crafting and storage organized so you do not accidentally burn through materials you meant to replant.
Step 12: Re-germinate and repeat to stockpile
Germinate again and keep looping. The more consistently you run the cycle, the faster your stash grows, and the less you ever need to think about healing item scarcity again.

How to use Fluffed Jincao Powder effectively in combat
Equip it on operators who are likely to take sudden damage, because the auto-use trigger is most valuable when you get surprised by burst hits. If you are controlling one character most of the time, consider placing it on that character too so you benefit from the clutch timing.
You will feel the difference most once your roster HP increases, since the percent-based portion grows automatically with you. That is the main reason it keeps its reputation as the most OP healing item for many players.
If you want Fluffed Jincao Powder to be a staple rather than a once-in-a-while luxury, the plot loop is the cleanest path: seed your Jincao, cap out your plots, keep irrigation steady, and harvest on repeat until your storage is stacked.
