A completed Cradle run can award its limited weekly Merit Tokens and Kuiper Shards alongside ordinary rewards.
PC / Global (Nexon, Update 1.4.3)
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Launch Cradle of Evolution through Tactical Transport Control in Albion or the World Map activity entry.
Cradle of Evolution is a repeatable endgame operation with a separate weekly completion reward. Check the activity panel before starting: it shows the current reward slate and whether the weekly payout is available. Its starting location and route can vary, so follow the objective markers instead of relying on a memorized path. Complete four of the eight Combat Zones to reach Separated Tarvos, defeat the Commander, then finish the operation and verify the payout. The 1.4.3 listing gives 100 Merit Tokens and 50,000 Kuiper Shards for the weekly clear; confirm the live panel in case the reward changes.
81,580 Arche Activity for Public Operations; Private Operations are available below that threshold.
A combat-ready Descendant and weapons for the operation.
Open the activity panel and check the reward preview and weekly claim status.
Choose Public or Private Operation based on the displayed entry conditions.
Follow the route markers and complete each Combat Zone objective.
Clear four of the eight Combat Zones to reach the Commander area.
Defeat Separated Tarvos and collect encounter drops.
Finish the operation, claim its completion reward, and check inventory for the weekly payout.
Farming tips
The listed weekly reward is 100 Merit Tokens and 50,000 Kuiper Shards; verify the current panel before queuing.
Private entry allows a run below the public Arche Activity threshold.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat for ordinary completion rewards and chance-based drops. The weekly payout is limited; use the activity tracker to see when it is available again.
Common mistakes
Assuming every clear gives the weekly payout; check its claim status first.
Following an old fixed route; use the current markers because the start and route vary.
Leaving before the operation is complete; finish and confirm the reward in inventory.
When to stop or switch
Stop pursuing the weekly payout once the panel marks it claimed. Continue only if ordinary rewards or Commander drops remain useful.
