AFK Arena: Summon Scrolls, Soulstones & Resource Chests

Gold pays for hero levels and gear enhancement; Hero EXP contributes to hero leveling. They are progression supplies, so a Gold reward and an EXP reward address different parts of the same upgrade budget.[1]

Diamonds can fund Noble Tavern recruitment, giving them a recruitment use that Gold does not share in the documented Tavern system.[2]

Common Hero Scrolls, shortened here to Common Scrolls, summon heroes at the Noble Tavern. Faction Scrolls recruit from a particular faction instead. That narrows the faction pool without selecting an individual hero. The community item reference documents using Common Scrolls singly or in batches of ten.[3]

The Tavern guide lists Common, Rare and Elite outcomes. “Common Scroll” names the ticket, not a promise that its result will be a Common hero; likewise, owning a Faction Scroll does not itself guarantee an Elite.[2]

Stargazing uses Stargazer cards or Diamonds and lets you change the selected prize hero. AFK.Guide identifies it as a route for building Celestial and Hypogean heroes; its reward pool also contains resources rather than awarding the selected hero on every attempt.[4]

Time Emblems are spent in the Temple of Time, whose prizes include Awakened heroes and other items. The selected prize hero can be changed there too. This is a different recruitment system from spending Stargazer Scrolls.[5]

Sixty Elite Soulstones assemble an Elite hero. Sixty Honorable Elite Hero Soulstones instead summon a random hero from the current Monthly Heroes pool, which includes Awakened, Celestial and Hypogean heroes alongside eligible Elite heroes. “Honourable Soulstones” is the shortened catalogue label; it does not mean an Awakened hero is guaranteed.[1][6]

The documented eight-hour Gold and Hero EXP chests grant eight hours’ worth of their respective resource instantly. The amount is a resource yield, not eight Gold or eight EXP. AFK income varies with Campaign progress, so the duration is not a universal fixed payout.[1][7]
