I remember the frustration when I first started playing Arknights Endfield. I was stuck on a Node Reward, the fourth one to be precise, and all it told me was to buy a gift for my operator aboard the Dijiang. Seemed simple enough, but where do you even begin?
It appears to be a straightforward task, offering bonus items to boost your progress. However, the task description leaves much to the imagination. I will guide you on how to gift your favorite operators on the Dijiang in Arknights Endfield.
How to gift your operator in Arknights Endfield
Ever notice how a small gesture can completely change someone’s mood? The same applies to your operators. If you’re aiming to complete the fourth Node task, you can gift any operator you like. Their exact location on the Dijiang will vary, so keep an eye out! Choose your recipient and interact with them when you find them.

You’ll encounter a trust meter, which is likely empty if you’re a first-time gift-giver. This meter increases with each gift you give. It’s a slow burn, but worth the effort. You can also view a list of gifts that your operator desires, a crucial step in strengthening your team.
Before the giving can commence, you’ll need to make a purchase.

How to purchase gifts for your operator in Arknights Endfield
Think of the Stock Redistribution terminal as your one-stop shop for operator appreciation. To buy gifts, find the Stock Redistribution terminal, located near the Reception Room on the Dijiang. Inside, you’ll discover an array of gifts to purchase. Look for the Cultural Goods section— the prices vary, so manage your budget carefully. This is your chance to become the virtual equivalent of a thoughtful friend.
What happens when you increase trust with gifts?
As you shower your operators with gifts, their trust in you will grow, like a sapling reaching for sunlight. The benefits include stat bonuses and sometimes even new abilities. This will make them more effective in combat and resource gathering.
When buying a gift, keep your operator’s preferences and your budget in mind. Once you’ve made your purchase, return to your operator and present them with their gift. You’ll notice a gradual increase in their trust level.
Are some gifts better than others for certain operators?
Yes, definitely! Each operator has specific preferences, so paying attention to those preferences is key, like tailoring a suit to fit just right. The game provides hints, so be observant. Giving an operator a gift they love will yield a greater trust boost.
How many gifts does it take to max out an operator’s trust?
Patience is key because the amount of gifts required to max out an operator’s trust varies. Don’t expect a single gift to catapult you to 100%. Consistent gifting and choosing the right items will eventually get you there. This isn’t a sprint, but a marathon.
Building trust is a game of patience and strategy. It’s about understanding your operators and investing in their growth. Is the effort worth the reward?
