Introduction
Before we get into the shops, I’ve made a short explanation to help you get your bearings on each image. Please take a look at these first so that everything is completely clear about the shops.
= Early game ; Buy
= Early game ; Don’t buy
= Early game ; Optional
= Mid game ; Buy
= Mid game ; Don’t buy
= Mid game ; Optional
= Late game ; Buy
= Late game ; Don’t buy
= Late game ; Optional
= Never Buy
I will not explain the “never buy” items in any of the shops. We don’t usually buy them because we don’t need them or the price/value ratio is bad in that shop.
Early game = 0-2 months ~
Mid game = 2-6 months ~
Late game = 6+ months ~
Please note that these periods are only a rough definition. The shops may vary between the early-mid-late game. For example, in the cross-arana shop, midgame tends to start from 5-6 months after you get all the awakening crystals and red soul selection 2.
Red soul:
In general, I would not recommend buying red soul selection 1 from anywhere. As a f2p player, it will take you about 5~6 months to collect all the awakening crystals and red soul selection 2.
My suggestion is to buy only when you have red soul selection 2, but still missing the selection 1.
Lategame items priority:
Awakening scrolls -> Divine Feather Coin -> Empowerment Gear -> Feather Coin -> Runestone Restore Potion -> Runestone Block Potion
Since most of these items are available in shops and all of them are important, you can see the priority here in general.
For the 2 runestone potions, consider that you’ll need a lot of them for the perfect rune, but you can’t prioritize them, which is why they’re at the end of the queue, as how many you need depends largely on how lucky you are.
Awakening Scrolls are the biggest sources of global stat multipliers in the game, they are the main priority for all players in the lategame.
Empowerment Gear is very important for beastmaster and mage. For them, it can make up 20-30% of their total skill/pal damage multiplier.
Feather Coin boost base stats a lot, the jump every 10 levels is still very noticeable in the lategame but a bit less impactful than in the early game.
Divine Feather Coin are the main component to make or break a build in the lategame. You’ll need a lot of them to complete your talent tree.
Runestone Restore Potion you have the possibility to restore your runes to the previous upgrade, this way you can achieve the perfect rune.
Runestone Block Potion blocks 1 of the 4 passive skills that can be upgraded, increasing the chance that your corresponding passive skill will be upgraded from 25% to 33%.
Family Shop
Advanced Seed:
If you want to win the first prayer rush event, you should definitely buy this at the beginning of the game, at least until the end of the first prayer rush, otherwise you won’t have enough seeds if you do everything right.
Bomb+Drill:
After the first prayer rush, focus on bomb and drill until lategame to win the tech rushes.
Magic Lamp Key:
In lategame, after reaching eternal gear, you will be able to increase your basic stats like hp, atk, def by increasing your level, so if you have reached a high level in the Lamp Thief dungeon and have enough family coins, you should start buying them daily.
Diamond Key:
There are plenty of places to get pal and skill tickets, so I only recommend it if you have too many family coins in lategame.
Guardian Key:
In mid game, until you have all the rush mount and ghost back accessory, I highly recommend f2p players to focus on this after the bomb and drill. In almost all guides people are advised not to take this and we will take advantage of this with a “counter move”. Relic shards are also extremely hard to get for paid players too, so if we focus on these in mid game, we will most likely win relic rushes.
Soul Crystal:
Very bad value/price ratio, buy only if you are on the last day of the soul rush and you can get a few soul crystals to get a better ranking.
Empowerment Gear:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them, but it’s not a priority as it’s not the best value/price ratio.
Chrono Key:
I have similar thoughts as soul crystal, buy it only if you can get a better ranking in the mount rush event. Basically we focus on the big rush events since they give you a lot more rush emblems, so it’s very optional.
Class Reset Scroll:
This is probably the best value/price ratio of all the shops. Buy it if you want to change class.
Feather Coin:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Divine Feather Coin:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Rebirth Capsule:
Optional if you want an aviant rebirth, you can buy.
Awakening Scroll:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Runestone Restone Potion:
You’ll need a lot of these to make the right runes for the lategame, so it’s worth starting to stack them around mid-lategame.
Runestone Block Potion:
You’ll need it for lategame runes, but you can get it from many places, including pantheon, so the goal is to have roughly 1 Runestone potion paired with 1 Runestone Block potion. (which is why it’s optional, but necessary)
Cross-Server arena shop
Here you have only buy 2 things at the beginning!
The primary goal is to collect the 6 awakening crystals, until you have them, don’t buy anything else!
The secondary goal is to collect the 6 red soul selection 2 souls, until you have them after the 6 awakening crystals, don’t buy anything else!
After awakening crystal and red souls
Magic Lamp:
Buy it every day, you will be able to increase your gear power in lategame.
Awakening Scroll:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Pact Coupon:
Optional until you are not done with star arrey upgrades. If you have enough arena points, worth to buy.
Soul Crystal:
Compared to all the shops, soul crystal here is the best price/value ratio, so it’s worth buying here every day.
Empowerment Gear:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them. Quite good value/price ratio.
Sweetheart Cake:
If you still haven’t found the right avian, this may help, but the price/value ratio is particularly poor, so it’s a very optional purchase.
Advanced Seed:
If you can’t manage enough seed a day, maybe the 50 arena coins will worth that 50 seeds.
Rebirth Capsule:
Optional if you want an aviant rebirth, you can buy.
Parking shop
Super Miner and Bountiful Harvest:
These 2 items must be purchased in the first week of the parking release and every week after that. They give a great boost in mine and manor, so you can get better results on tech and prayer rushes.
Others:
Start buying the other items once you have collected all the coin bonuses and resource bonuses from the decorations.
First priority is the Dark Trials Card, because it will help you lot with talent tree and back accessory upgrade.
Second priority is Remodeling Guide, more atk, hp, def bonuses by remodelling.
Third priority is Offline Warp, daily 1 hour afk reward.
Showdown event shop
Showdown points:
Buy everything. In my opinion everything here is great value for money for what you have to do for it. Since we’re pushing monster slayer and defense ranking 1, you’ll definitely have enough points each week early in the game, and later lightspawn will give to you more than enough points.
Cross server crystal
Here we have to separate the skills and the other items.
Skills:
In terms of skills, only mages need to upgrade their skills, so the first priority for mages is to buy skills and then upgrade them from the shop, so they don’t really buy anything else from here.
Hundres Slashes:
Great skill for every class, every player should buy this first from this shop. (mage upgrade this skill)
Crimson Moonfall:
You have buy this skill only as mage. (mage upgrade this skill)
Windborne Arrow:
Archer skill good for the theater and lava dungeon, after eternal gear. it can be used for a cheese strat with michelle to stunlock the bosses.
Ancestral Will:
Spirit-Channeler skill, good pal boost.
Awakening Scroll:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Empowerment Gear:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Divine Hammer:
You will constantly need it to upgrade your artifact.
Relic Dungeon Key:
Not the best price / value ratio, but following our tactics in mid-game gives you a great opportunity to win relic rushes.
Runestone Restore Potion:
You’ll need a lot of these to make the right runes for the lategame, so it’s worth starting to stack them around mid-lategame.
This is probably the best buy from this shop in price / value ratio.
Family brawl shop
Here we have to separate the skills and the other items.
Skills:
In terms of skills, only mages need to upgrade their skills, so the first priority for mages is to buy skills and then upgrade them from the shop, so they don’t really buy anything else from here.
Worldly Snare:
Great skill for archer and warrior. You have buy this first as these classes.
Star Array:
Mage skill as mage you have to buy it always. (mage upgrade this skill)
Dragonic Resonance:
Lategame pvp skill. You can use this vs tank builds because of the hp% dmg.
Winged Dreams:
Spirit-Channeler skill, giving pal boost.
Items:
Red Soul Selection 1:
Only buy it if you have already collected red soul selection 2 from the cross arena shop, but you are still missing red soul selection 1.
Orange + Purple Soul:
Very optional, buy these only if you can get a better ranking in the soul rush.
Skill + Pal Tickets:
The 2 items are priced the same, but if you don’t need a skill ticket for the skill rush, go for the pal ticket, as pals will be slower to collect in the game than skills.
Clearly the tickets are the best value/price in this shop, so buy those.
Shroomie tournament shop
In this shop it’s hard to say what might be the best choice, as the amount of coins you have can vary greatly, but I think the best value for coins is the keys.
Keys, priority:
Flame Key:
This is the most important of the keys, as you can only get a extra flame key from here.
Magic Lamp Key:
In lategame you can improve your gear power mostly with lvls, so you have always buy this key, if you reached enough high lvl at lamp thief dungeon.
Diamond Key + Chrono Key:
Since you can get skill and pal tickets and clocks from a lot of sources in the game, I think these are optional and you should only buy them if you need them for some reason.
Guardian Key:
In mid game it can be a good choice to win relic rushes.
Advanced Seed + Pickaxe + Drill + Bomb:
These items also have a very good price/value ratio, in early and mid game they can be a good choice after the flame key and magic lamp key to win tech and prayer rushes. If you can, go for mining tools instead of seed, as you can get seeds from many places.
Feather Coin + Divine Feather Coin:
In the lategame you will need lot of them, to upgrade your back accessory and improve your talent tree. Both have good value/price ratio. Divine feather is more important.
Divine Hammer + Clock Winder + Soul Crystal:
These have a bad price/value ratio, buy only them if you have lot of extra coins.
Pantheon Shop
Sacred Tree Essence:
Until you have maxed out your talent tree, this should always be your first priority.
Magic Lamp:
You can buy 2000 lamps very cheaply, so this is a good choice if you have enough coins.
Rebirt Capsule:
If I want to revive an avian you can buy it, but you may be able to get it at a better value in other shops.
Empowerment Gear:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them, but it’s not a priority as it’s not the best value/price ratio.
Awakening Scroll:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Runestone Restone Potion:
You’ll need a lot of these to make the right runes for the lategame, so it’s worth starting to stack them around mid-lategame.
Runestone Block Potion:
You’ll need it for lategame runes, but you can get it from many places, including pantheon, so the goal is to have roughly 1 Runestone potion paired with 1 Runestone Block potion. (which is why it’s optional, but necessary)
Merit shop
Actually, compared to the other shops in this shop, they all have a terrible price/value ratio.
Reversal Potion:
If you want to reset an avian, you can buy it. If you need this potion, this is probably the best choice from this shop.
Empowerment Gear:
To get stronger in the lategame you will need it, so if you have a lot of extra family coins you can start buying them.
Red Soul Selection 1:
Only buy it if you have already collected red soul selection 2 from the cross arena shop, but you are still missing red soul selection 1.
As this shop has a terrible price/value ratio, it is probably better to buy red soul from here than from the family brawl shop.
Divine Hammer:
You will constantly need it to upgrade your artifact.
Clock Winder:
It might be a good choice if you can get a better rank in the mount rush event.
Marine Treasure Shop
If you successfully participate in sail events, you can buy these items with the scrolls you receive for your individual rank.
Upgrade Rum Barrel and Ingredients for Dinner alternately as one provides Global HP and the other provides Global Def.
Rum Barrel:
If you don’t have the 12 mounts yet, buy this first to get the most resources from parking mounts.
Ingredients for Dinner:
Buy after you have got the Rum barrel.
Divine Feather Coin:
Buy only after you upgraded to max level your Rum Barrel and Ingredients for Dinner.
Rentant
This shop will only be available really late in the game.
Red Soul Selection 1:
Only buy it if you have already collected red soul selection 2 from the cross arena shop, but you are still missing red soul selection 1.
Feather Coin + Soul Crystal:
They both offer great value / price ratio compared to other shops. Buy whichever you need most.
