Hey there, Hunter!
Pull up a chair, grab a beverage (I’m currently running on cold brew and questionable life choices), and let’s talk.
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably downloaded Solo Leveling: Arise, watched the opening cutscene about five times because it’s just that good, and then immediately realized: “Wait, why is my Sung Jin-Woo hitting like a wet noodle?”
Look here:

I’ve been there. Oh boy, have I been there.
I remember my first week. I treated Diamonds like they were confetti. I saw a shiny costume in the shop, my finger twitched, and poof—there went 3,000 Diamonds on a skin that looked cool but didn’t actually help me clear Gates any faster. I later found out I could have used those Diamonds to pull for a weapon that would have saved me hours of grinding.
I literally talked to my phone screen. I said, “Jinx, you absolute mushroom, what have you done?”
So, consider this my apology to my past self, and a love letter to you. This is the no-BS, I’ve-made-the-mistakes-so-you-dont-have-to guide to hoarding Diamonds and farming Essence Stones in Solo Leveling: Arise.
Let’s get you that Shadow Monarch glow-up.
Part 1: Diamonds (The "Do Not Touch" Currency)
Listen to me closely: Diamonds are not for spending. Diamonds are for hoarding.
Treat your Diamonds like they are radioactive isotopes. You only touch them with tongs, and only when absolutely necessary. In this game, Diamonds are primarily for summoning (gacha) and maybe refreshing stamina if you’re hitting a hard wall during a limited-time event. That’s it.
Here is how you get them without opening your wallet:
1. The Daily & Weekly Quests (The Boring Stuff That Pays)
I know, I know. “Do dailies” is the most generic advice in gaming history. But in Arise, skipping these is like leaving money on a sidewalk.

My Quirk: I set a phone alarm labeled “HUNTER DUTY” at 7 PM. If I don’t clear my dailies, the alarm doesn’t turn off. It’s annoying, but it works.
The Loot: You get Diamonds directly, but you also get “Hunter’s Medals” or whatever the current event token is, which also converts to Diamonds or pulls. Do. The. Dailies.
2. Story Mode & Side Stories
Don’t rush the main story just to hit the “endgame.” I made this mistake. I blazed through chapters, missed dialogue, and realized later I’d skipped chests containing Diamonds.
Pro-Tip: Check every corner. Literally. The developers hide Diamonds behind breakable crates, in alleyways, and sometimes I swear they hide them just to see if I’m paying attention. (I’m not always, but I try).
Side Stories: These aren’t just lore dumps (though the lore is chef’s kiss). They often grant one-time Diamond rewards. Don’t skip them!
3. The “Free” Shop Tabs
Check the shop. Not the premium stuff. The Free or Exchange tabs.
Sometimes you can trade in event currency or dungeon tokens for Diamonds.
My Personal Rule: If it costs Diamonds to buy stamina, I only do it if I am this close to finishing a limited-time event banner that I actually care about. Otherwise? Let the stamina cap hit. Go touch grass. Your wallet will thank you.
Part 2: Essence Stones (The "Grind My Gears" Currency)
Okay, if Diamonds are the gold, Essence Stones are the iron. You need so much of it. You will never feel like you have enough. I currently have 40,000 stones and I still feel poor.
Essence Stones are used to upgrade your weapons and gear. Without them, Jin-Woo is just a guy in a hoodie with a dagger. With them? He’s a walking natural disaster.
1. Gates, Gates, and More Gates
You know those dungeons you run? Yeah, farm them.
Normal Gates: Good for early game.
Hard Gates: This is your bread and butter.
My Anecdote: I used to skip the “Bonus Rewards” on Gates because I was lazy. I thought, “Eh, I’ll just run it again later.” Wrong. The bonus reward chest often drops a chunk of Essence Stones. Now, I treat that bonus chest like it contains the Holy Grail. I will restart the run if I forget to claim it. I have no shame.
2. Chaos Gates (The RNG Rollercoaster)
Chaos Gates are weird. They’re randomized, they’re chaotic, and they drop lots of Essence Stones if you hit the right tiers.
Don’t be scared of the higher difficulties. If you die? You die. I have died to a level 50 boss while playing a level 48 character more times than I care to admit. It builds character. Or it builds rage. Either way, you get Stones.
3. Events are King
Solo Leveling: Arise loves events. Like, loves them.
Whenever a new anime arc drops or a holiday hits, there’s an event.
Jinx’s Golden Rule: Hoard your event tokens until the very end of the event period, then check if there’s a “Exchange Shop” that refreshes or has better value later. Usually, it doesn’t, but I’m paranoid.
Also, event shops often let you buy Essence Stone packs for free event currency. Buy them all. Even if you think you have enough. You don’t. Trust me.
4. The "Idle" Stuff (If you’re into that)
Depending on the current patch, there are usually AFK or offline reward systems.
Log in. Claim. Log out.
It feels small, but over a month? That’s enough Stones to upgrade a weapon by several tiers. Don’t leave free stuff on the table.
A Few "Jinx-isms" Before You Go
Look, I’m not a pro. I’m just a person who yells at their monitor when a boss parries me for the 40th time. But here is my philosophy on Arise:
Patience > Spending. The game is designed to make you feel like you need to buy packs to keep up. You don’t. The curve is steep, but it’s climbable if you just... do your dailies. Boring? Yes. Effective? Absolutely.
Don’t Upgrade Everything. I once upgraded a blue-rarity weapon to max level because “it looked cool.” Do not be me. Focus your Essence Stones on your main DPS weapon and your best armor set. Save the rest.
Community is Key. Join a Guild. Even a chill one. The Guild buffs help, sure, but mostly it’s nice to have someone to ask, “Hey, is this boss bugged or am I just bad?” (Spoiler: Usually, you’re just bad. But sometimes it is bugged).
Final Thoughts
Solo Leveling: Arise is a marathon, not a sprint. You aren’t going to become the Shadow Monarch in a day. You’re going to grind Gates until your thumbs ache, you’re going to hoard Diamonds like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold, and you’re going to feel amazing when you finally clear that Hard Mode raid that’s been blocking you for a week.
If you take nothing else from this post, take this: Don’t spend your Diamonds on skins unless you really, really love the art.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, my “HUNTER DUTY” alarm just went off, and I have some Essence Stones to farm.
See you in the Gates, Hunter. Try not to die out there.
