AFK Journey is a free game that everybody can download and play. Because it is a free game, it is monetized with in-game transactions. It has various battle passes, bundles, subscriptions, etc. Everything is quite expensive. Players who are spending inside AFK will get an advantage over free-to-play players.
We do not recommend spending inside a game, but if you are going to, then you need to know what to purchase so you get the best value for your money.
Esperia Monthly
Esperia Monthly is a type of subscription. When you purchase it, you will not immediately get all the items, but they are distributed over 30 days. There are two versions of Esperia Monthly: the Classic and Premium Gazettes. They are both great and will give you excellent value.
Premium Gazette costs more, but it will give you 70 Epic invitation letters so you can get S-tier heroes. What is more important is that you will get 450 Mithril Points to increase your VIP level. VIP level in AFK Journey is extremely important because it will boost your AFK Journey progression production so you get more gold, hero essences, and experience. They are stacking, so you can purchase 10 of them immediately if you want.
Noble Path
Nobel Path is a battle pass that contains a free version and a version that you can purchase. We recommend that you purchase it because the value that you will get is insane. The majority of resources that you will get from the paid Nobel Path are for leveling your heroes, but the main reason is the Hero Essences that you will get.
You will come to a certain point in the game where you will not be able to level up your heroes because you will not have enough hero essences. If you are planning to play AFK Journey for a long time, then you have to purchase a Nobel Path.
Growth Bundle
The Growth Bundle is a thing that you can purchase after Esperia Monthly and Noble Path. The value that you will get is great; 120 invitation letters and 18k diamonds will boost your account. Unfortunately, you will not be able to redeem all items from the Growth Bundle. They are locked behind the AFK Journey stage progression.
A lot of players wonder what happens if they purchase the Growth Bundle but do not reach the max AFK stage to redeem all items. Will they be able to redeem them later? If you purchase the Growth Bundle but do not reach the max stage, for example, stage 501, it will be locked. But as soon as you reach stage 501, you will be able to redeem it. That goes for all items and stage requirements in the Growth Bundle. Keep in mind that you can purchase the Growth Bundle only once per account.
Special offers, Limited Bundles, and Permanent bundles
I would advise you not to spend on these bundles and offers. They are extremely expensive. If you really want to spend, then purchase based on what you need. There are a lot of combinations of these bundles, so you will definitely find one that will give you exactly what you need. Permanent bundles will give you the lowest value.
Popup Bundles
Popup bundles will appear when you reach certain milestones in the game. These bundles usually contain hero copies for specific heroes and provide great value. Before you purchase this type of bundle, make sure that you check how strong the heroes are in Popup Bundles. You do not want to spend money on a hero who does not perform that well. If you are not sure how good a hero is, then you can always check out the AFK Journey Tier List.
Purchasing Diamonds
Purchasing diamonds is the worst thing that you can do. The value that you get is extremely low. Keep in mind that there are limited ways to spend your diamonds. So if you are limited with money, stay away from purchasing diamonds. Any other bundle in the game will have much more value than diamonds.
Spend Responsibly
Before you start spending, always remember that you are spending real money. AFK Journey is a free game where you can progress a lot without wasting money. Yes, spending will give you some advantages, but in the end, it is not worth it.
We recommended a few bundles, but you have to really think about whether you really need them and whether you are willing to spend money. Also, before you spend any money, test the game and play it to see if you will quit or if you will really play it for over a year. If you are a free-to-play player, make sure that you redeem all codes. Have fun and spend responsibly.
