Acorns play a crucial role in AFK Journey’s Ascension process. They are often likened to Pokemon Go’s Candies for their role in enabling Ascension, similar to Pokemon Evolutions. However, unlike other rare collectibles, Acorns are not initially introduced as such in the AFK universe. Their scarcity becomes evident only when you aim to upgrade heroes from Mythic to higher tiers, potentially leading to a shortage of Acorns. In this guide, we provide help on how to get Acorns in AFK Journey while also imparting the fundamentals of using them in character upgrades.
AFK Journey: Best Way To Spend Diamonds
Diamonds are difficult to earn unless you spend real money; here's a list of the best ways to spend this currency in AFK Journey.
AFK Journey Acorns Explained
In AFK Journey, Acorns are Ascension Shards. They enable you to Ascend a hero’s tier and consequently enhance their Power. There are four Faction-Tied Acorns, each tailored to upgrade a specific hero type: Graveborn, Mauler, Wilder, and Lightbearer. Additionally, there’s the Omni Acorn, which can replicate all other faction-tied boosters.
Acorns cannot be used on Celestial and Hypogen heroes. The only way to Ascend them is by using Dupes.
Best Ways to Get Acorns Faster
There are five common ways to earn Acorns in AFK Journey: Recruitment, Shopping, Guilds, Battle Modes, and the Nobel Path. Players are also likely to find these boosters in random Treasure Chests scattered around the map.
Recruit More Heroes
Invitations can transform to Acorn. When employing regular or Epic Invite Letters, there’s a potential of up to a 70% chance of obtaining at least one Acorn, irrespective of its faction. Hence, recruiting more heroes heightens the likelihood of acquiring Ascension boosters for other characters.
Below are the acquisition rates categorized by recruitment types:
- All-Hero Recruitment: There’s a 59.95% likelihood of acquiring at least one Acorn. Additionally, there's a 15% chance of obtaining four Acorns and a 0.5% probability of receiving 30 Acorns.
- Rate-Up Recruitment: You’re assured of obtaining at least one Acorn 70% of the time. Alternatively, there's a 15% chance per draw of receiving four Acorns and a 1.5% likelihood of acquiring 30 Acorns.
- Epic Recruitment: From each Epic Invite Letter, there’s a 50% chance of drawing at least one random Acorn. Additionally, you might obtain a pack of four Acorns 25% of the time, with a 1% chance of drawing 30.

Shop for Acorns at Emporium
The Guild Store and Recruitment Store at Emporium sell Acorns. In the Guild Store, you use Guild Medals (obtained by completing Guild Quests) to purchase Acorns. Meanwhile, in the Recruitment Store, the accepted currency is Dolly Tickets. These tickets are used to acquire invitations, which you can use to recruit more heroes and earn additional Acorns.
The items in the Guild Store rotate regularly, meaning Acorns may not be available for purchase at all times. If this is the case, simply wait for 24 hours and revisit the shop to check for availability.
Claim Nobel Path Acorn Prizes
Check the free battle pass awards for more Acorns. While the paid pass, Secret Travelogue, offers a higher chance of yielding Ascension boosters as your characters level up, the free-to-play rewards are also lucrative.
Join a Guild for Acorn Loot
Weekly Guild Chests yield Acorns. By joining a group, you can participate in weekly challenges and contribute to the Guild Chest. This chest is opened every Monday, granting recruitment items such as Acorns. You can also engage in Battler Drills at the Guild, yielding Acorns upon each conquest.
In the Battler Drills, choose the Reputation Treasure to earn the most Acorns.
Play Legend Trial & Arcane Labyrinth
Two Battle Modes that reward you with Acorns are Legend Trial and Arcane Labyrinth. Legend Trial is a Tower Quest featuring limited heroes and progressively challenging enemies. Arcane Labyrinth, on the other hand, is a maze-like arena where you can alter the paths of rewards after each battle. Participation and progression in both of these modes grant free Acorns.
To unlock these modes, you must up your AFK Stage rank to 100+.
Best Ways to Spend Acorns in AFK Journey
Acorns are valuable items worth saving. You’ll require numerous acorns to upgrade your heroes to higher levels. Specifically, you should aim to gather 200 Acorns for each A-Level hero’s upgrade and 350 Acorns for S-Level heroes’.
Only utilize Faction-tied or Omni Acorns when acquiring a practical Supreme+ hero, one who’s a solid part of your formation. A-Level characters do not necessitate Acorn boosters until reaching the Mythic rarity. It is only at that stage that they require 200 Acorns specific to their class or the corresponding Omni version.
