Best items to buy in the stores.

[BnSFan2023]

Just catching up from 1 year break. What can I buy in the stores to quickly enhance my dps/defense/end game? I'm not interested in doing the soul boost too much.

There's nothing you can get in store if that's your gear that will bypass what soulboost gives. You legit need to do soulboost and finish it fully it gives way better gear than you have. then you need to grind for skystealer accs in f8 dungeons then also starcross demonsbane dungeons. you can;t f10 your way to end game i'm afraid.

F8 is the lobby, where you team up with ppl to do dungeons
F10 is the shop

Also, soulboost is the best thing ever, so don't skip it. If you want to spend ncoins too, then buy premium, get the gold chest from dragon express premium tab. If you want to spend more money, get the battlepass.

That's not fully correct, there are plenty of ways to boost your stats with the itemshop.

Every event also has some items f2p players won't be able to get, to boost you additionally.

Blade and Soul is rotating their current cash shop events all the time, so each month gives you different benefits.

 

Currently you can do fortune favor to retrieve the materials from the later pages (ignore costumes).
Especially interesting is the Pet achievement, which gives you 30 AP (Attack Power), which f2p players can't get. Since this event is returning every ~3 months it's stacking up everytime and already for max gear players it's a 5-10% boost in AP/HP.
Else things like Sacred Oils/Sacred Vials/Pet Pods/Pet Packs/Sterling Scales/Etherial Vials are interesting to max your gear (Soul/Heart/Pet/Talisman) and change the additional bonus attributes. The most broken bonus will be at max stage (+20), but be prepared for it to be expensive to get there due to RNG upgrades.

If you do dailies I'd recommend you to buy 14 battlepasses for all your characters to get the gold from the battlepass (you can either do the missions or just buy it to max if you have the money).
You'll need a LOT of gold to max your gear. Be prepared.

Whenever trove cash event comes around the corner you can fully max your unity with awakened mythical ascension/radiance stones. Especially the ascension stones are interesting since you can't get them f2p at all. Else it's the same as with fortunes favor getting materials to upgrade.

Then there are weapon gems/pet gems and etherial vial packs in the itemshop. Even though obtainable ingame you only get them in very scarce amounts, while you can buy them in huge amounts from the itemshop. These are really good to boost your AP and to max your unity. Additionally you also get the BiS Badge Psyches from the big bundles which f2p players can't get, giving you a slight edge over them.

You should also buy premium for the weekly gold and quality of life.


Every month you can buy different things from the itemshop giving you always a slight edge over f2p plebs.
But looking at your character I'd recommend you to still do soul boost, to get at least basic gear. You can't buy the base items in F10, so you'll still have to farm them normally, but you can immensely progress by participating in the itemshop events every month.
