Arknights RIIC Guide: Stop Being Permanently Broke
https://www.lootbar.com
An S3M3 carry can delete Episode 17 maps while your account still has no LMD for the next E2. That usually means RIIC is staffed by whoever is not in the squad, leaving Trading Posts empty, factories capped, and morale wasted. A rotated base turns those daily leaks into steady LMD, gold bars, and battle records , saving Sanity for materials, Masteries, and modules. Start With the Right RIIC Layout, Not Random Buffs Choose 2-5-2 when long-term material output matters more than dorm comfort: 2 Trading Posts, 5 Factories, and 2 Power Plants create more production slots for gold and EXP. Pick 2-4-3 if you want 3 Power Plants, easier morale recovery, and more forgiving rotations; it also supports power-plant-scaling gold teams. Check the Arknights official website before promoting a new release for RIIC alone, because current event rewards and operator notices matter more than chasing a secondary skill blindly. Think in complete production chains rather than isolated green percentages. Gold factories feed Trading Posts, so extra gold is valuable only when your 2 Posts can convert it into LMD; EXP factories win when leveling operators has emptied your card stock. Exact daily output varies by upgrades, staffing, and collection timing, and no publicly verifiable data is available for one universal LMD-per-day total. Build the Trading Post Money Printer First Prioritize Proviso E2 before niche factory promotions if LMD is your permanent bottleneck. Her Order Value Distortion improves the value obtained from orders rather than only accelerating order delivery, which is why Proviso + Shamare + Tequila is the 2026 money-printer core. Run Shamare and Tequila with deliberate shift timing: Tequila benefits from downtime, while Shamare’s support effect is strongest when the relevant order cycle is active. For newer Doctors, start with solid generic Trading Post workers and upgrade the trio only when the promotion also helps combat or your base plan. The classic Texas the Omertosa + Lappland + Exusiai loop remains a usable speed-focused alternative, listed at +100% total order acquisition speed in the supplied meta reference. Do not burn rare E2 materials solely for a tiny RIIC gain when Proviso, Shamare, or Tequila are missing from your roster. Match Factory Teams to Your Actual Bottleneck Run Pure Gold when a Trading Post is consuming stock faster than factories replace it; pivot a factory to EXP cards after leveling sessions drain battle records. For EXP, Vermeil + Scene + Eunectes combines capacity and capacity-to-production value, making it useful for longer AFK windows. For gold, Purestream + Weedy + Eunectes scales with Power Plants and fits 2-4-3 particularly well, while Bryophyta + Gravel + Spot is a reliable Pure Gold fallback. Use newer roster tools as rotation improvements, not mandatory builds. Closure , Logos , and Wis’adel-era options can improve capacity, Control Center links, or staffing flexibility, but confirm each skill’s facility compatibility in-game before restructuring a room. Wis’adel specifically has a Control Center synergy that improves Hoederer’s Trading Post productivity when Ines is assigned to Reception; that is a roster-dependent bonus, not a baseline requirement. Rotate Morale, Claim Income, and Spend With a Plan Follow a low-maintenance twice-daily check: claim Trading Post orders, refill gold if Posts are empty, and swap workers before morale bottoms out. Keep a dorm recovery bench ready instead of forcing exhausted operators through a full shift. Never leave these 3 conditions unattended: capped factories, empty Trading Posts, or zero-morale staff; each loses more practical income than minor percentage tuning. Before Episode 17 celebration upgrades or a limited banner, reserve enough LMD and battle records for a new 6-star’s E2, skill levels, and modules rather than spending everything on the first pull-day promotion.
