Honestly? Most Acecraft progression walls aren’t skill walls. They’re Gold walls, EXP Soda walls, or “I spent all my Diamonds on a whim” walls. The good news is that the game hands out a lot of resources if you know where to look and show up regularly.
Let’s walk through this together: what each resource does, where it comes from, and a simple routine that keeps your stockpiles healthy without turning Acecraft into a second job.
The Resources That Matter
Acecraft has a lot of currencies and items, but a handful do most of the heavy lifting. Here’s the chill version:
| Resource | What it’s for | Best sources |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | Leveling pilots, upgrades, shop purchases | Adventure stages, Co-Pilot events, Navigator Pass, Path of Growth |
| EXP Soda | Leveling pilots (alongside Gold) | Adventure stages, Co-Pilot events, daily rewards |
| Diamonds | Recruiting pilots (300 each, 3,000 for ten) | Flight Log, free daily claims, Lucky Chests, events, codes |
| Recruit Tickets | Standard Pilot Recruit | Adventure progress, Fest Sign-in, events |
| Skyward Recruit Tickets | Limited pilot banners | Navigator Pass, Fest Sign-in, events |
| Power Cubes | Honk’s Depot (Signature Wingmen) | Card Collection Seasons, event packs |
| Blueprints and Power Wrenches | Upgrading Gear | Stages and the shop |
| Emblems | Boosting Gear attributes | Quick Patrol, Nemeses’ Return, Emblem Workshop |
No pressure to memorize all of it. The short version: Gold and EXP Soda grow your pilots, Diamonds and tickets get you new ones, and everything else polishes your loadout.
Your Daily Farming Routine
Take your time with this one. None of it is hard; it just needs to happen every day.
- Open the Flight Log. Daily quests pay Diamonds and activity rewards, and they tell you which modes to play today.
- Grab the free claims. Check the Recruit screens for free daily Diamonds and the Store for its ad reward.
- Run Quick Patrol. It’s one of the two daily Emblem sources (once Emblems unlock after stage 4-6).
- Hit Nemeses’ Return. More Emblems plus ranking rewards inside your group.
- Clear Realm Trial if it’s open. Its Lucky Chests can hold Diamonds, Pilots and Wingmen.
- Push Adventure with leftover stamina. New stages are your steadiest Gold, EXP Soda and Recruit Ticket income.
- Claim everything. Flight Log, mail, events. Unclaimed rewards don’t help anyone.
Our daily challenges guide goes deeper on the order and why it works.
Weekly and Rotating Sources
Element Trial
Element Trial unlocks after Adventure stage 4-9. Each element has its own trial with several difficulties, and some trials only open on set days (the Sandstorm Trial, for example, opens on Wednesday and Saturday). Check the timers so you don’t miss a day. Our Element Trial guide covers each boss.
Navigator Pass
The Navigator Pass unlocks at stage 1-2 and fills from weekly missions and event challenges. It pays Skyward Recruit Tickets and other rewards, and later versions added more Gold to the track. Okay but, this part is so good: it’s basically free value for things you were going to do anyway.
Co-Pilot and Seasonal Events
The limited-time Co-Pilot event (unlocks at stage 2-3) has been one of the most generous sources in the game, paying Recruit Tickets, massive Gold, EXP and Diamonds. Seasonal fests usually add a Fest Sign-in with Skyward Recruit Tickets, Recruit Tickets and Diamonds, plus a Fest Shop for event currency. See our Co-Pilot mode guide and events guide.
- Card Collection Seasons: completing a set pays Power Cubes, Diamonds and a limited avatar.
- Golden Apple Rush: a ranked mode (unlocks at stage 4-6) where you compete against 5 other pilots for Victory Stars and rank rewards.
- Tempus Trek periods: themed stages with score targets and rewards.
- Path of Growth: on limited pilots, raising their Amplification Level pays free rewards, including Gold.
Spending Without Regret
Farming only helps if the spending side doesn’t leak. Trust me on this.
- Focus 3 or 4 pilots: pilot level costs climb steeply, so Gold and EXP Soda spread across ten pilots level nobody.
- Save Diamonds for banners you want: a ten-pull is 3,000 Diamonds, and every 10 draws guarantees an Excellent or higher pilot. Impulse singles add up.
- Don’t sink Diamonds into refills early: they stretch much further as recruits.
- Use Honorary Flight Medals: the shop takes them for a growing list of items.
- Plan for long-term sinks: the Modify system (Base Tune-Up and Super Tech) gives permanent boosts, so budget for it instead of discovering it broke.
- Redeem codes: check our Acecraft codes page after every update.
No Stress: if you’ve already spread your resources thin, it’s not a disaster. Pick your core pilots now and route everything new into them. Our F2P guide has a longer plan.
