Arknights: Endfield Launches Staggered Grand Blessings Spring Trio Featuring A Spring Note

Arknights: Endfield kicked off a staggered Spring campaign titled Grand Blessings for the Spring in mid-February, with the centerpiece sharing event A Spring Note, Warmly Crafted active from Feb 15 at 12:00 server time through Mar 4 at 04:00 server time. The event leans heavily into operator interaction and customization rather than combat; Icy‑veins sums it up: "Grand Blessings for the Spring is not designed as a high-difficulty challenge event. It is more of a seasonal celebration with little progression and character interaction."

A Spring Note is a holiday-card crafting event built around three-component recipes - handheld, decoration, and background - that must match operator hints to score three stars. Community creators have already published short clips with confirmed three-star patterns for operators like Perlica, Ardelia, and Da Pan; Metammo notes that "Exact three‑star combination (once fully confirmed on your server) can be taken directly from short community clips such as 'Da Pan 3‑star Card' and multi‑stage videos grouping Perlica, Ardelia, and Da Pan." Clearing any three stages unlocks Free Crafting, as Icy‑veins points out: "After clearing any three stages, you unlock the Free Crafting stage."

Stage examples are live on servers now. Game8 lists Stage 2 as Ardelia's holiday card with hints about "a snack that is hard and fragile on the outside but hot, soft and melty inside, sparkling pyrotechnics in the sky, and a specific doll she’s attached to," and Stage 3 features Da Pan; on NA servers Da Pan's stage is found under F7 → A Spring Note, Warmly Crafted with an orange diamond marker. Completing stages and three-star solutions also unlock voiced spring greetings from operators and in-game rewards for materials and currency.

Grand Blessings bundles several mail-driven promotions. The Fortune Connect-and-Win scratch-card mails run Feb 15 through Feb 23 server time, delivering nine mails in total; each contains a Connect-and-Win scratch card that awards Oroberyls plus one Emergency Sanity Concentrate and five Sanity Usage Permits. Players can also collect three operator blessing mails on Feb 16, Feb 17, and Feb 21 at 20:00 server time. Allthings How's short guidance is direct: "Log in daily to claim Fortune Connect-and-Win scratch cards (through Feb. 23), craft holiday cards in A Spring Note, Warmly Crafted (through Mar. 4), and collect three operator blessing mails on Feb. 16, Feb. 17, and Feb. 21 at 20:00 server time. You must create a character before Feb. 22 at 23:59 server time to qualify for the mail events."

Separately, Game8 documents the Steps to Sweet Success mail event, unlocked by completing Chapter 1 Progress 2: Maintenance Progress, with per-mail rewards of Springfest Pastry x1 (40 Sanity), Mark of Perseverance x1, and Operator Gift x3. "Each mail will expire 14 days after receiving, so remember to claim it in time before losing the mail rewards!" Game8 warns.

Eligibility and progression gates vary by component: Allthings How requires characters created before Feb 22 at 23:59 and Mail unlocked to receive timed mails, while Icy‑veins says A Spring Note may require completing Chapter I - Process I: Break the Siege and Game8 cites Chapter 1 Progress 2 for Steps to Sweet Success. Players should check their in-game Mail and story progress to confirm which gates apply. Remember that "Cards created in Free Crafting are not automatically saved, so you will need to manually save them if you want to keep your designs," making manual saves and daily logins the immediate must-dos during this first major event after Endfield's Jan 22, 2026 launch.
