Endfield Wuling Guide — Unlocks, AIC Systems, Talosites & New Features
A source-led Wuling roadmap for Endfield Homecoming: early access, the systems that become available there, the Wuling areas named in official events, and where each feature leads next.
Why Wuling is a progression hub
Homecoming makes Wuling more than a later story region. It is the connection point for early regional access, new AIC Factory options, Talosite collection, Aero-Salvaging, Transmute, and several event objectives. This page is a route through the officially announced systems, not a claim that every feature unlocks at the same time for every account.
Unlock the region first
After completing Chapter I, Process II: Remediation Progress, use Event Center to accept Chapter II, Process I: Arrival at Wuling. You can then enter Wuling early while keeping Chapter I available in Valley IV.
See the full step sequence in How to Unlock Wuling Early. If the Event Center entry is missing, trust the live client: mission completion and regional availability determine whether your account can accept it.
What Homecoming adds in Wuling
| Feature | Officially published use | Next guide |
|---|---|---|
| AIC Factory | Place the Protocol Automation-Core to receive a batch of early Wuling facilities and start regional production lines. | AIC Factory guide |
| Talosite Exchange | Gather Talosites in Yinglung Pass and North Wuling Exclusion Zone, then exchange them for listed reward categories. | Talosite Exchange |
| Aero-Salvaging | Complete aero-salvaging challenges in Yinglung Pass and North Wuling Exclusion Zone. | Talosite Exchange |
| Transmute | After Arrival at Wuling, convert certain high-tier materials into lower-tier materials from Crafting. | Transmute guide |
The update also adds Inergen and Xiragen gathering resources. Their related vents gradually become available in Wuling as main missions progress, so an unavailable resource node is not evidence that your client is missing content.
Event work in the same region
Gaze Towards the Northern Exclusion sends its specified missions to Yinglung Pass and North Wuling Exclusion Zone. It is a limited guide event with a published August 9 end, so finish it before treating Wuling solely as long-term exploration. See the event guide for the stated rewards and deadline.
Practical order
- Unlock Wuling through Event Center.
- Check time-limited Wuling missions first.
- Establish only the AIC line you currently need; use the live plan screen for exact inputs and research requirements.
- Explore the two named areas for Talosites and Aero-Salvaging.
- Use Transmute only after reviewing the live conversion output and optional Sanity cost.
This order prevents a permanent system from making you miss a limited event reward, while keeping the regional systems connected in one place.
