Valley Pie is one of the strongest healing consumables in Arknights: Endfield, sitting at 5-star rarity. It functions as a tactical item, meaning it can be used manually or triggered automatically during combat. If you're trying to keep your operators alive through tough fights — or you need one for the Supply: Exploration Day event — here's exactly what Valley Pie does, how to craft it, and where to pick one up from a vendor.
Quick answer: Valley Pie instantly restores 20% of an operator's Max HP plus a flat 975 HP. You can craft it at the Crafting facility using 8 Reed Rye and 4 Fillet, or buy up to 3 from the merchant Fraissy at Mining Camp for 800 Valley Stock Bill each.
Valley Pie Healing Effect and Tactical Behavior
Valley Pie belongs to the Tactical item category. You can use it directly from your backpack to heal an operator on demand, but its real value comes from equipping it before a battle. Once equipped, the pie activates automatically whenever any operator on your team drops below 40% HP — no manual input required. Each battle allows a maximum of three automatic uses, and those uses are restored after they're fully depleted.
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rarity | 5-Star |
| Type | Tactical (Consumable) |
| Manual heal | 20% Max HP + 975 flat HP |
| Auto-trigger threshold | Below 40% HP |
| Max auto uses per battle | 3 (restored after depletion) |
| Max stack (Storage) | 10,000 |
| Max stack (Backpack) | 50 |
| Discardable | Yes |
The combination of percentage-based and flat healing makes Valley Pie effective on both high-HP tanks and squishier operators. The 40% auto-trigger threshold is generous enough to save operators from burst damage without wasting charges on minor scratches.
Valley Pie Crafting Recipe
To craft Valley Pie, you first need to unlock its formula in the Crafting Manual. Once unlocked, each pie costs the following materials at the Crafting facility:
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Reed Rye | 8 |
| Fillet | 4 |
Both Reed Rye and Fillet are raw materials, so no intermediate crafting steps are involved. The recipe produces one Valley Pie per craft. Reed Rye tends to be the bottleneck for most players, since it's also used in other food recipes like Hub Emergency Ration. You can farm Reed Rye from gathering nodes scattered across the open world — focus on agricultural areas for the highest density of spawns.
Buying Valley Pie From Vendors
If you'd rather skip the crafting grind, a limited supply of Valley Pies is available for purchase. The merchant Fraissy, located at the Mining Camp in Origin Lodespring, sells up to 3 Valley Pies at a price of 800 Valley Stock Bill each. This stock is limited, so it won't replace crafting entirely, but it's a convenient way to grab a few quickly.
During the Supply: Exploration Day event, Valley Pie is one of the items requested on specific days. For that event, you can also buy it from the general merchant at Origin Lodespring's Mining Camp under the Grocery tab, which saves you from needing the Crafting Manual recipe at all.
Supply: Exploration Day Event Quick Reference
Valley Pie appears as a required item on Days 3 and 4 of the Supply: Exploration Day event. If you haven't unlocked the crafting recipe and don't want to farm Reed Rye, purchasing directly from the Mining Camp merchant is the fastest path. Below is a quick breakdown of where to buy each day's required item:
| Day | Item | Vendor Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Superhot Fruit Preserves | The Hub, Worker Dorms — Anton |
| 2 | Hub Emergency Ration | The Hub, Worker Dorms — Maggie |
| 3 | Meat Stir-Fry | Origin Lodespring, Mining Camp — Grocery tab |

Lore Flavor
The in-game description reads: "A meat pie. Everyone in Valley IV grew up eating the famous Valley pie. Steaming pies, the stove, and a loving family always bring people hope." It's a small but warm piece of world-building that ties the item to the everyday life of Valley IV's residents — comfort food turned battlefield lifeline.
Valley Pie sits comfortably among the best healing consumables in Arknights: Endfield, thanks to its hybrid percentage-plus-flat restoration and hands-free tactical trigger. Whether you craft a batch from Reed Rye and Fillet or grab a few from Fraissy at Mining Camp, keeping a stack in your backpack is a reliable way to prevent unexpected operator deaths during harder content.
