How to get Diamonds in AFK Journey: every free source, ranked

Diamonds are what you spend on pulls in AFK Journey: 300 per pull, so 60 pulls to hard pity means 60 × 300. Nobody farms that in a week. What a free player does instead is build a routine that quietly collects 4,600–4,600 Diamonds a month and saves it for the banner that matters.

This guide ranks every free source by how much it actually gives, then turns it into a daily, weekly and per-patch checklist. If you only want the monthly number and what it means for your pity, the companion page has it in one table.

Where the Diamonds come from, best source first

Ordered by monthly yield. The top two or three lines are what separates an account that pulls every banner from one that does not; everything below is a bonus.

1Daily missions (100/day × 30): about 3,000 Diamonds a month, or 10 pulls
2Weekly missions (400/week × 4): about 1,600 Diamonds a month, or 5 pulls

The routine that collects all of it

Split by how often each source resets. Missing a day is not a disaster; missing a whole endgame reset is, because that Diamonds cannot be recovered.

Every day

The steady base of any F2P account in AFK Journey. Small amounts, but multiplied by thirty days they are usually the largest single line of the month.

Daily missions (100/day × 30) · 10

Every week

Worth doing on a fixed day so nothing lapses. Weekly caps in AFK Journey are generous per minute played.

Weekly missions (400/week × 4) · 5

One-time rewards (new accounts)

Claimable once per account, so they are not in the monthly ranking. On a fresh AFK Journey account they can outweigh months of routine and are the reason new players pull so much in their first weeks.

What costs F2P players the most

Spending Diamonds on the standard banner or on 10-pulls "to see what happens" instead of saving for a limited unit.
Letting an endgame reset in AFK Journey pass without clearing it: that Diamonds is gone for good.
Ignoring the event shop and redeem codes because they are small: together they are often a full multi every month.
Pulling before checking the numbers. Your real chance of the featured unit depends on your pity and your pulls; the calculator shows it before you spend.

If you decide to spend

Only worth mentioning because the value gap is huge: the cheapest recurring pass in AFK Journey pays several times more Diamonds per dollar than any bundle in the shop.

With the Classic Gazette (~$5/month)+12,000 Diamonds / month ≈ +40 pulls

Now do the math

Knowing where the Diamonds come from is half of it. The companion page turns the monthly total into pulls, months to hard pity and your real chance of the featured unit, and the calculator takes your exact pity and savings.
