Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun starts on 5 November 2026 and brings back its side story, event shop and free six-star Operator. Clear Main Storyline 1-10 to unlock it. The event itself continues until 19 November, but the three stage groups close four days earlier.
That difference matters for anyone still farming rewards or working on the engraved medals. Here are the global times, what carries over from 2025 and how to spend your event currency without missing the shorter stage deadline.
Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun dates and times
Arknights uses fixed UTC-7 for its official global announcements. We’ve converted each time to UTC as well, so readers outside that timezone can plan their clears.
| Activity | Server time (UTC-7) | UTC / GMT |
|---|---|---|
| Rerun starts | 5 Nov, 08:00 | 5 Nov, 15:00 |
| A Glance at the Shrine, An Audience with God and Rest in Peace close | 15 Nov, 03:59 | 15 Nov, 10:59 |
| Sweet Dream Hall closes | 19 Nov, 03:59 | 19 Nov, 10:59 |
| Event stages enter Score | 19 Nov, 04:00 | 19 Nov, 11:00 |
For the Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun, 15 November is the date to finish limited stage clears. Keeping the shop open to 19 November does not extend the stage farming window.
How to unlock the rerun stages
Clear Main Storyline 1-10 and open The Masses’ Travels from the event menu on 5 November. The three returning stage sets are A Glance at the Shrine, An Audience with God and Rest in Peace. All end on 15 November at 10:59 UTC.
Clear the available stages, then collect rewards from Babysitting Criteria missions. You’ll also earn Enlightened Pacifier currency by clearing stages and completing those missions. If you are catching up, clear the stages and claim the Babysitting Criteria mission rewards first. You can then see exactly how much Enlightened Pacifier is left to earn for the items you want.
During the Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun, event stages also give extra Trust to Exusiai the New Covenant, Lemuen, Sankta Miksaparato, Gracebearer and CONFESS-47. Use those Operators if you want to benefit from the bonus while finishing stage objectives.
Where to get the free Sankta Miksaparato
The free six-star Sankta Miksaparato is a Babysitting Criteria mission reward. It is not an automatic login gift. Her additional tokens are obtained from the Sweet Dream Hall event shop, where you can spend Enlightened Pacifier earned during the rerun.
Sweet Dream Hall also offers Headhunting Permits, Elite Materials, LMD, Battle Records and furniture pieces. Don’t confuse the Operator’s first mission reward with the separate token purchases. See our Arknights Sankta Miksaparato unlock guide for the two routes.
The Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun includes a workshop activity called A Firearm Technician’s Night. It uses Espresso to accept orders, not Enlightened Pacifier. Our Arknights workshop and Espresso guide explains the difference and its daily reset.
What progress carries over from 2025?
The rerun keeps your old stage clears and first-time drop progress. Check which stages you have already completed before choosing where to spend your time. Some rewards that cannot be obtained twice are converted into Intelligence Certificates at the in-game conversion ratios.
The Intelligence Certificate store gets extra stock and new items when the Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun begins. Check the Intelligence Certificate Conversion Rules in the game to see which duplicate rewards exchange and how many certificates they give.
Can you earn engraved medals after the rerun ends?
No. The stages move to permanent Score content on 19 November at 11:00 UTC, but medals from the event’s Engraved Medal Set cannot be earned through Score or any other channel once the limited event ends. Finish their requirements before the rerun closes.
Some medal conditions were adjusted for the Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun. Players who already meet an adjusted requirement from the original event can receive the relevant medals when the update is applied. Check your medal collection before attempting to repeat a task.
What to do before the Arknights The Masses’ Travels rerun ends
Start by unlocking the event, clearing the stages and completing Babysitting Criteria while they’re open. Claim Sankta Miksaparato, earn enough Enlightened Pacifier for your shop priorities and check any unfinished medal conditions. Clear stages before 15 November, then make your final shop purchases before 19 November.
Once the event is over, you can replay the story in Score, but you’ll no longer be able to claim its engraved medals.
