AFK Arena Shops Guide – What to Buy as F2P

To access all in-game shops, head to the Mystical House and open the Emporium. You’ll find six stores: Recruitment, Guild, Season, Arena, Dream, and Friendship. Each uses a different currency and refreshes on its own schedule. The guide below tells you exactly what to buy and what to skip as a F2P player.

Recruitment Store

This shop refreshes monthly and uses currency earned from summoning. Your priority is always the discounted Epic Invite Letter and Stellar Crystal first. Only buy the full-price versions if you have leftover currency. As a F2P player, you likely won’t afford anything else. Stellar Crystals are essential because you cannot spend Diamonds directly on the Stargaze banner; they appear in the shop only after you unlock Stargazing by performing 400 pulls on other banners.

Guild Store

Refresh this shop daily for a discounted Invite Letter that costs only 210 Diamonds instead of 300 – buy it every single day. On the monthly side, grab the Epic Invite Letter and Stellar Crystal. The Celestial and Hypogean hero dupes sold here depend on your roster needs; check a wishlist guide for specific recommendations.

Season Store

The Season Store offers previous season heroes and valuable resources. Priority order: Abyssal Essence first – it’s a endgame currency worth 500 Twilight Essences and very hard to farm. Then buy S-level or A-level character dupes if you need them. EX Equipment Reset (+15) is low priority; only consider it if you regret your Twilight Essence investment. Store coins (Arena and Dream) can be skipped because you earn enough from daily play.

Arena Store
