AFK Journey Equipment guide

Here’s everything you need to know about Equipment in AFK Journey.

AFK Journey is a captivating Ethereal Fantasy RPG by Farlight. In this game, equipment is essential for enhancing your heroes’ abilities across various classes.

This guide provides a thorough breakdown of how to get and optimize equipment to ensure your heroes are battle-ready and equipped for any challenge they might face in their quest.

Equipment in AFK Journey

Equipment in AFK Journey uniquely applies to entire classes rather than individual heroes, simplifying the process and ensuring that upgrades benefit all heroes within a class.

This system allows for strategic planning and resource allocation across five gear tiers:

• Basic (Green)
• Intermediate (Blue)
• Advanced (Purple)
• Elite (Gold)
• Expert (Red)

Upgrading your gear through the forging process significantly boosts your heroes’ stats and abilities, which are crucial for advancing in the game.

There are six types of equipment for each class:

How to Get Equipment

AFK Journey offers several methods to obtain equipment, making the process dynamic and integrated with the game’s various features:

Exploring for Chests: These chests on the map can contain random equipment, among other valuable items.

Free Equipment Selection Chests: As you reach certain milestones and increase your heroes’ Resonance Levels, you will be rewarded with Free Equipment Selection Chests

AFK Progress Rewards: One of the game’s standout features is its AFK progress system. Even offline, your account continues to gather resources, including equipment.

Growth Trials Rewards: Completing specific milestones and challenges progresses your journey and rewards you with equipment and crafting materials.

Keith’s Treasure Hut and Ironhoof Forge Store: Both stores in-game are excellent sources of equipment. They accept currencies such as coins and Holistone coins.

How to Forge Equipment

Forging equipment enhances its attributes, boosting your heroes’ abilities. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to forge equipment effectively:

1. Collect Necessary Materials

• Gold: The basic currency used in most transactions, including forging. Obtainable through gameplay, quests, and events.
• Forging Stone: Essential for forging higher-tier gear. These can be obtained by dismantling unwanted or outdated gear. The more advanced the gear dismantled, the more shards you gain. The type of Forging Stone you get from dismantling is dependent on the rarity of the equipment.

2. Increase Resonance Levels

• Role of Resonance Levels: Your ability to forge higher-level equipment depends on the Resonance Level of your heroes. For example, a Resonance Level of 124 allows you to forge up to level 120 equipment.

3. Initiating the Forging Process

• Access the Forging Interface: Navigate to the inventory and locate the forging section. Here, gear eligible for forging will display a forge icon.
• Select Equipment to Forge: Choose the piece of equipment you want to upgrade. Equipment with a forge icon next to it is ready for enhancement.
• Apply Materials: Input the required amount of Gold and Primal Casting Shards. The interface will display the amount needed for the upgrade. Ensure you have sufficient materials to proceed.
• Execute Forging: Confirm the selection and initiate the forging process. This will enhance the equipment, immediately upgrading its stats and effectiveness.

Focus on forging gear for the most vital classes to your current strategy. This ensures that your most active heroes receive the best possible equipment enhancements. Allocate resources wisely by first upgrading the most impactful gear, such as weapons for damage dealers or armor for tanks.

Forging Priority

Here’s how to prioritize your forging efforts:

1. Damage Dealers (Marksman, Warriors, Rogues, Mages)

I recommend forging equipment for damage dealers in this order:

Weapon > Leg > Accessory > Hands > Body > Head

2. Tank

I recommend forging equipment for Tanks leaders in this order:

Body > Head > Hands > Leg > Accessory > Weapon

3. Support

I recommend forging equipment for Supports in this order:

Leg > Accessory > Body > Head > Hand > Weapon

Tips for Effective Forging

• Keep an eye on potential upgrades by regularly reviewing your inventory. Dismantle unwanted equipment when you can.
• Ensure you have a steady influx of materials by balancing your spending on necessary upgrades.
• Align your upgrades with your battle strategies by focusing on the most impactful classes and gear. I suggest prioritizing damage dealer equipment followed by tank and then support.

By mastering these forging priorities and techniques, you can ensure that your heroes are always equipped with the best possible gear, ready to face any challenge in AFK Journey.
