A breakdown of the permanent shops (the Shop window): what is a must-buy, what depends on the situation, and what is better skipped. All prices and limits are on the Shops page. The limits of the VIP Shop, Alliance Shop, Expedition Shop and Sanctuary Shop refresh every Monday, the Honor Shop once a month.
Diamond Shop
The author's opinion: forget the Diamond Shop - the prices are sky-high (for example, Direct Relocate costs 1500 diamonds). Buy here only if you are just a little short of a resource to start or upgrade something, and everything is already bought out in the other shops.
VIP Shop
The VIP Shop is a good place to spend saved diamonds: the price to value ratio is reasonable. If diamonds are not a problem, you can buy everything, but for a regular player the author advises this:
| item | price | advice |
|---|---|---|
| Grain / Timber / Herb Level Supply (SR) | 40 | expensive, only as a last resort |
| Universal Curio Shard | 99 (limit 50) | with a good budget, buy: 50 pieces cost about 5000 diamonds, and getting the right duplicate curio keeps getting harder; if diamonds are short, skip |
| 10 Stamina | 12 | everyone should buy, a very valuable resource |
| Brass | 5 | skip, it piles up on its own |
| Direct Relocate | 598 (limit 4) | a must: without it any war event is hard |
| Raven Essence | 398 | with a good budget - a must, you need a huge amount; everyone else - a little at a time to finish a level |
| Skill Badge | 4 | skip: there are few of them and the total is expensive |
| SR Hero Omni Shard | 40 | for top players: bring blue heroes to the Hall of Honor faster, though it is expensive |
| Antitoxin Level Supply (SSR) | 158 | if you can, but better to start with UR |
| Antitoxin Level Supply (UR) | 480 | first priority if available: much better value |
| Speedups (5m, 60m, 3h, 8h) | 8 / 72 / 192 / 478 | you can buy all, starting with the biggest: they are better value, the small ones are a bit pricey |
| Gearstone | 4 | skip, very expensive; at most to finish an item's level |
| SR Epigraph Chest | 798 | only for top players, for everyone else this price is not worth it |
| Refined Iron, Survivor Recruit Ticket | 16 / 198 | skip, they pile up on their own |
| Tempered Steel | 64 | only if you are a little short for crafting an item |
| UR Hero Omni Shard | 298 (limit 10) | a must, no questions |
Alliance Shop
The Alliance Shop sells for Alliance Coins.
- Speedup Supply is free - claim it every week.
- UR Hero Omni Shard - first in line.
- Survivor Recruit Ticket - skip, expensive and useless.
- Bella Shard - at the end of the week, when the main things are already bought.
- Raven Essence and Lv.1 Raven Gear Chest - a must.
- SR Epigraph Chest and Raven Evolve Guide - also try to buy them out: the price here is much more reasonable than in the VIP Shop.
- Shields (8, 12, 24h) - on the author's advice, a few at a time, 2 days before the battle starts, as far as your saved coins allow. Start as early as possible, as soon as coins pile up regularly: they will never be extra.
- Relocates (Direct Relocate, Alliance Relocate, Random Relocate) - all of them if you can, this is mobility in battles. Direct Relocate is a must.
- Tempered Steel, Brass, Refined Iron - skip: expensive, and they pile up anyway.
- Resource Supply (SSR) - skip, too expensive for a small amount.
- Survivor Token - many people ignore it for no reason: it costs 4 coins, and in the late stages tokens are badly needed to upgrade survivors. If you have spare coins on Sunday, buy them out all at once together with the Bella Shards.
- Speedups - buy all except Healing Speedups: healing almost always gets finished for free.
Honor Shop
In the Honor Shop (for Fame Medals, refreshes on the 1st of every month) the author advises buying nothing except Gear Blueprint (UR) - not even UR Hero Omni Shards. According to the author, blueprints cannot be bought permanently anywhere else, and they are needed to promote gear stars, and stars give a very large boost to Might. Buy them as soon as you can and level the stars right away, starting with the two swords of your main damage dealers (DPS).
Expedition Shop
In the Expedition Shop everything is fairly priced and everything is useful. The coins (Expedition Medals) come from the Expedition, so it is worth clearing it for all factions as far as you can and after every refresh: level heroes of the right faction and move items between factions. At late levels there are enough coins to buy almost everything in a week. At the start and in the middle of the game there are few, and the order is:
- UR Hero Omni Shard.
- Raven Essence.
- Lv.3 Raven Gear Chest.
- Expedition Chest (UR) - all 10.
- R and SSR Epigraph Chests.
If many coins are left at the end of the week: first Gearstone, then Survivor Recruit Ticket, and last of all SSR Epigraph Shard. Resource Supply and Raven Fruit can be bought as needed - the prices here are the best.
Sanctuary Shop
In the Sanctuary Shop (for Copper Coins) the main thing is gold: UR Hero Omni Shard and Raven Essence, try to buy them out without fail. With enough coins the author would also take SR and SSR Hero Omni Shards for the Hall of Honor.
