You Do Not Need to Spend — If You Do, Buy Permanence
ROW is free. Safe refine to +15, Job Freedom, and eleven launch codes already carry a new SEA account through week eight. This page is for players who will spend once or monthly and do not want to light Star Stones on costume gacha. F2P loop: F2P Roadmap. Premium currency: Star Stones.
Community top-up guides (Roonby, July 17, 2026) and in-game shop labels still agree on a four-step ladder. Confirm prices in your client — regional stores change numbers after maintenance.

Purchase Order for Low Spenders
| Priority | What it is | Why it wins | Skip if |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. First Top-Up Pack | One-time first purchase bundle | Level 25 red weapon plus a short login trail of cosmetics and mats — the strongest early power spike per dollar | You already bought it on this Gravity account (it does not stack) |
| 2. Kafra Monthly Pass | 30-day daily mail | Steady stones and convenience that beat raw Star Stone top-ups | You cannot log in most days this month |
| 3. Privilege Pass | QoL: portable storage, field revive, extra board refresh, bag size, event recovery | Saves minutes every session; 7-day trial exists before the monthly SKU | You already have Kafra VIP storage habits and never wipe |
| 4. Wonder Tour Battle Pass | Season track — standard vs Deluxe (+10 levels) | Materials + exclusive costume if you finish missions | You will not clear the season track — then it is a costume tax. Dedicated page: Wonder Tour Battle Pass |
Kafra VIP from pre-registration is a permanent offline-hunt unlock, not this monthly SKU — Kafra VIP Pass.
Never Buy These First
- Raw Star Stones “for later.” The August Steam FAQ already pulled several combat consumables out of the Star Stone shop.
- Infinite SSR pet tickets on day one. World Catch and event tickets exist — World Catch. Pity math: Should You Play.
- Costume gacha before weapon +12. Collection bonuses are real, but they do not clear Time Corridor — Costume Collection.
- Energy refills as a habit. Energy is a daily budget — Energy System.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ROW pay to win?
Combat power from refine and Job Freedom is F2P-reachable. Collection bonuses, red headgear gacha, and infinite pet tickets are where wallets pull ahead. Read Should You Play for the honest split.
Does First Top-Up work on Steam and mobile?
It is account-bound. Buy it once on the Gravity account you actually play. Linking later does not grant a second first-purchase weapon.
Should I buy Deluxe Battle Pass?
Only if you already finish the standard track. Deluxe is +10 levels and extra cosmetics, not a new combat system.
