Endfield's headhunting calendar has two rhythms that people keep mixing up. The operator banners rotate one at a time, roughly every three weeks, and each one changes exactly three of the eight 6โ slots in the pool. The weapon Issues run on a separate clock and expire after a fixed number of operator banners rather than on a date.
This page keeps the whole thing in one place: what is live today, what is confirmed for the next six weeks, and every Chartered Headhunting banner since launch with its rate-up and window. The dates below come from Gryphline's own notices, which we store in full on the site; where the notice only says "before version update and maintenance", that is what the table says too.
What is running right now
As of Oct. 22, 2026 the operator banner is Rejuvenation, which brought Si in with the Sanctuary of Ink update on Oct. 15. It closes on Nov. 5 at 11:59 server time. The companion weapon banner is Seal of Jade Issue, with Jade Vessel as the rate-up Greatsword.
| Banner | Type | Rate-up | Window (server time) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rejuvenation | Chartered Headhunting | Si (6โ operator) | After the Sanctuary of Ink update – Nov. 5, 2026, 11:59 | Live, closes Nov. 5 |
| Seal of Jade Issue | Arsenal Issue (weapons) | Jade Vessel (Greatsword) | Open since the Sanctuary of Ink update; ends three Chartered banners after Rejuvenation | Live |
The timers are the same moment everywhere. Asia runs on UTC+8 and Americas/Europe on UTC-5, so a Nov. 5, 11:59 close is Nov. 5 in Asia and the same evening of Nov. 4 in the Americas. Gryphline prints both zones in every notice; they are not two separate maintenance windows.
The next six weeks, confirmed dates
The Sanctuary of Ink update notes list the next six banner openings, and they overlap on purpose. A RE-Factor rerun for Tangtang opens on Oct. 29 and runs to Nov. 19, overlapping the last week of Rejuvenation and the first two weeks of the next Chartered banner.
| Date | Banner | Type | Rate-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 29, 12:00 – Nov. 19, 11:59 | Ancestral Spring Flows Anew (RE-Factor #1) | RE-Factor Headhunting | Tangtang (6โ ) |
| Oct. 29, 12:00 – Nov. 19, 11:59 | Tender Sprig Issue (RE-Factor #1) | RE-Factor Arsenal Issue | Brigand's Calling (Handcannon) |
| Nov. 5, 12:00 – next version maintenance | The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow | Chartered Headhunting | Argent Flow (6โ ) |
| Nov. 5, 12:00; runs three Chartered banners | Moongleam Issue | Arsenal Issue | Lunar Calling (Sword) |
Two things are worth flagging. Argent Flow, the rate-up on The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow, has no operator page on this site yet, so that row is plain text rather than a link. And the two Arsenal Issues do not have end dates at all: Moongleam closes three Chartered banners after The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow, which is a count, not a day.
Every Chartered Headhunting banner so far
Twelve Chartered banners have run since launch, from Scars of the Forge on Jan. 21 to Rejuvenation on Oct. 14. Every single one put the new 6โ in the same frame: one rate-up, seven other 6โ , a dedicated permit from a seven-day sign-in event, and the same reward ladder.

How the eight-slot pool actually works
The pool size never changes. It is eight 6โ every time, in all twelve banners, which is why people keep asking why one operator shows up in the current banner and another does not. The composition is easier to read than it looks. Here is the live Rejuvenation pool, slot by slot:
| 6โ in the Rejuvenation pool | Why they are there |
|---|---|
| Si | Rate-up 6โ of the current banner |
| Typhoeus | Rate-up of [Winter Hunt], still inside its 3-banner window |
| Liino | Rate-up of [Good Morning from Your Dawnstar], last banner of its window |
| Ember | In every Chartered pool since launch |
| Lifeng | In every Chartered pool since launch |
| Ardelia | In every Chartered pool since launch |
| Last Rite | In every Chartered pool since launch |
| Pogranichnik | In every Chartered pool since launch |
Five 6โ have been in every single Chartered pool since launch: Ember, Lifeng, Ardelia, Last Rite and Pogranichnik. The other three slots are the rate-ups. That is the whole mechanism. It is also why an operator who just had a banner keeps showing up in the next two, then vanishes.
The three-banner window, checked against all twelve banners
Gryphline states the rule in every banner notice: the rate-up 6โ is removed from the Chartered pool three banners later and is never added to Basic Headhunting. We tested that against the archive instead of trusting the wording, and it holds exactly from banner three onward. In each of those ten banners, the pool equals the current rate-up, the two previous rate-ups, and the five permanent residents, no more and no less.
- [Thunder of Renewal]: Zhuang Fangyi, plus Rossi and Tangtang, plus the five.
- [Winter Hunt]: Typhoeus, plus Liino and Arcane, plus the five.
- [Rejuvenation]: Si, plus Typhoeus and Liino, plus the five.
The first two banners do not fit, and the reason is simply that the pool predates the rotation. [Scars of the Forge] and [The Floaty Messenger] both ran with the launch trio, Laevatain, Gilberta and Yvonne, alongside the five residents. From the third banner, [Hues of Passion], the arithmetic works with no special case: Yvonne was the rate-up, Gilberta and Laevatain were the two previous rate-ups, and the five filled the rest. She then held her slot for exactly the usual window and was gone when [Thunder of Renewal] opened. Her later reappearance came through a different route, Resplendent Spectrum RE-Factor Headhunting #1 on Sept. 24, 2026.
Who has had a rate-up, and who has not
Twelve operators have headlined a Chartered banner: Laevatain, Gilberta, Yvonne, Tangtang, Rossi, Zhuang Fangyi, Mi Fu, Camille, Arcane, Liino, Typhoeus and Si. Nine of them have operator pages here. Liino, Typhoeus and Si do not, so their names appear as text in the tables above rather than links.
Flipping it around, six 6โ operators in our database have never headlined one:
| 6โ operator | Banner history in the archive |
|---|---|
| Ember | In all 12 Chartered pools, never rate-up |
| Lifeng | In all 12 Chartered pools, never rate-up |
| Ardelia | In all 12 Chartered pools, never rate-up |
| Last Rite | In all 12 Chartered pools, never rate-up |
| Pogranichnik | In all 12 Chartered pools, never rate-up |
| Endministrator | Never appeared in a Chartered pool |
Five of those six are the permanent pool residents, and Endministrator has never appeared in a Chartered pool at all. Yvonne used to sit in that list; she now counts as a headliner, with [Hues of Passion] in February and a RE-Factor rerun in September.
The reward ladder: 30, 60 and 240 pulls
Every Chartered banner pays out at the same three thresholds, and the details are where people get caught.
- 30 pulls gives 10 bonus Urgent Recruitment pulls, which count as one free 10ร and guarantee at least a 5โ . Those ten do not count toward pity and do not count toward the 60 or 240 thresholds.
- 60 pulls gives one Headhunting Dossier. When the next Chartered banner starts, it converts automatically into ten HH Permits for that banner, and those permits expire when that banner ends.
- 240 pulls in one banner gives a Token of that banner's rate-up 6โ .
Pulls also mint Arsenal Tickets whether or not you get what you wanted: 2000 for a 6โ , 200 for a 5โ , 20 for a 4โ , spendable at Acquisition Center - Arsenal Exchange. That is the bridge between the operator calendar and the weapon one. Every banner also carries its own sign-in event worth five dedicated permits, with a discounted exchange for more at AIC Quota Exchange.
RE-Factor is a different animal
The Oct. 29 Tangtang rerun is a RE-Factor banner, not a Chartered one, and the pity structure is not the same. A RE-Factor banner guarantees the rate-up 6โ within the first 120 pulls. That guarantee fires once across all RE-Factor banners of the same series, and your pull count carries over to future ones, so a partial run is not wasted.
The reward ladder shifts too: bonus Urgent Recruitment pulls sit at 30, 60 and 90 pulls instead of a single 30-pull step, and accumulated attempts carry between RE-Factor banners. If you are deciding where to spend on a rerun, that carry-over is the part that matters.
Weapon Issues run on a separate clock
Arsenal Issues are the weapon side, and they close on a banner count rather than a date. Seal of Jade Issue ends three Chartered banners after Rejuvenation. Moongleam Issue opens Nov. 5 and ends three Chartered banners after The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow. Tender Sprig Issue, which reruns Brigand's Calling, is tied to the Tangtang RE-Factor window and closes Nov. 19 with it.
Each Issue works the same way on the inside: buy an Issue, get ten random weapons with at least one 5โ or better, and climb toward an Arms Offering Crate or the rate-up 6โ . We broke the mechanics down separately in how LTO weapon banners work.
What this schedule cannot tell you
Gryphline does not publish a calendar beyond the current version's notes, so anything past Nov. 5 is unknown. Several historical windows say only "before version update and maintenance" rather than a date, because that is all the notice said. We did not convert those into guessed dates.
There is also a version-level quirk worth knowing: a special banner can sit outside all of this. Fest of Brilliance ran from May 14, 2026 with only four 6โ in the pool, Laevatain, Gilberta, Ardelia and Pogranichnik, and its notice states outright that it follows its own rules, is separate from existing banner types, and does not carry over to or from anything else. It is not a Chartered banner with an odd pool; it is a different category.
Quick answers.
Current operator banner: Rejuvenation, Si rate-up, until Nov. 5, 11:59 server time.
Next new operator: Argent Flow, Nov. 5, on The Hearth Fire Beckons the Starry Flow.
Next rerun: Tangtang, Oct. 29 to Nov. 19, on Ancestral Spring Flows Anew RE-Factor #1.
Why is a 6โ
in the pool: it is the rate-up, one of the two previous rate-ups, or one of the five permanent residents.
Do rate-ups come back: not in Chartered banners. They leave the pool three banners later and never enter Basic Headhunting; reruns arrive as RE-Factor banners instead.
