How to get Affinity Points in the AFK Journey
There are two ways of getting affinity points in AFK Journey: by clicking and playing with the hero or by gifting items to heroes.
Using Heroes
When you are using heroes, you will get Affinity points. You can also go to your hero list and click on them a few times, which will give you 6 Affinity points. To know that you are getting affinity points, you will see a clover icon flying around the hero.
Giving Heroes Gifts
There are gifts that you can give your heroes that will increase their affinity by a lot. There are two ways to get hero gifts: By looting on the map and purchasing it from the Friendship store.
Looting on the map: When you are doing a quest and exploring the AFK Journey world, you will come across gift items lying on the floor. Simply come near them and click the collect button. They will be saved in your inventory. To use it, navigate to the hero affinity page and simply gift the item.
Friendship Store: In the Friendship Store, you can purchase affinity gifts using Pal-Coins. Always purchase one that is discounted. There is a version of a gift for each faction, and gifting them to the right heroes will give you more points. For example, if you purchase Fang Dagger and gift it to Odie, you will get 170 affinity points. If you gift it to any other hero that is not from the Mauler faction, you will get 110 faction points. So be extremely careful when you are gifting items from the friendship store. You will see a heart icon on the item, which means that you are giving it to the right faction.
