The best method is to AFK Story > Free Run > Mastery for fast 100-Gem clears, then use those Gems, challenges, quests, codes, raids, and tournaments to stack rerolls.
If you want the fastest route, split the grind into two parts: use Free Run Mastery as your Gem engine, then convert the rest of your playtime into reroll sources. Gems come fastest from repeat clears, while rerolls build up through shiny units, Trait Crystals, shops, quests, raids, and competitive rewards.

Best Gem and reroll methods by priority
| Method | Best use |
|---|---|
| Story > Free Run > Mastery | Main AFK Gem farm. |
| Codes and daily claims | Fast free Gems, rerolls, and reroll-adjacent items. |
| Quests, weeklies, achievements, index | Steady rerolls and Gems while progressing. |
| Story first clears and challenge stars | Big one-time early account value. |
| Regular Challenges | Repeatable Gems and rolls, especially on weekends. |
| Raids and Raid shops | Buying large reroll stacks with raid currency. |
| Tournaments and Global Tournaments | High-end Gem and reroll payouts for strong teams. |

KEY!Treat Free Run Mastery as the thing you run when you are not actively playing. When you are active, clean up claims, Story rewards, challenge rewards, Raid shops, and tournament attempts so your reroll stock grows alongside your Gem count.
Why Free Run Mastery is the best AFK Gem farm

Free Run Mastery is strong because it skips the slowest part of many Story farms: normal enemy waves. The Mastery version of Free Run is a boss-only run, so the wave pacing moves faster and the clear time stays low once your farm supports and carry are placed correctly.
A clean clear pays 100 Gems, 100 Gold, and 1,000 Unit XP in about 2 minutes. At that pace, a full 24-hour session comes out to roughly 72,000 Gems, with better teams pushing the hourly value higher through faster clears.
The setup does not require a perfect account. A strong main DPS helps, but the structure is really about getting farms online first, then letting your supports and carry scale through the boss waves without needing constant input.
Bring these before you set up the farm:
How to set up the Free Run Mastery AFK Gem farm in Anime Expeditions
This setup prioritizes farms first, then support and damage, so the run can keep clearing boss waves on repeat.
STEP 1/13
Enter Story
Go to Story from the lobby.

STEP 2/13
Choose Free Run
Select Free Run instead of a normal Story stage.

STEP 3/13
Select Mastery
Pick Mastery on Free Run so the farm uses the boss-only version.

STEP 4/13
Start and place Sentaku
Start the stage, then place the first Sentaku without relying on phantom placements.

STEP 5/13
Place second Sentaku
Put down the second Sentaku and wait long enough for the placement to stick.

STEP 6/13
Place third Sentaku
Drop the third Sentaku before you begin upgrading your farms.

STEP 7/13
Set Sentaku to upgrade 1
Click each Sentaku and put every one on upgrade 1.
STEP 8/13
Add Ramen Guy
Place Ramen Guy, wait for the placement to register, then set him to upgrade priority 2.

STEP 9/13
Add your main DPS
Place Megumi or your best DPS and set that unit to priority 3 so it upgrades after the farms.
STEP 10/13
Separate duplicate DPS units
Put a second Megumi or duplicate carry away from the first so overlapping summons do not block clicks.

STEP 11/13
Place Uzihime
Place Uzihime and set her to priority 4.

STEP 12/13
Fill with extra damage
Place your remaining damage units around the lane to speed up the clear.

STEP 13/13
Use Mahoraba when maxed
Once Megumi is maxed, trigger Mahoraba; if you use another carry, use that unit’s strongest ability.

Turn Gem farming into rerolls
The clean reroll loop is: farm Gems, spend them only on banners that can improve your account, then use shiny pulls for reroll value by unshining them. This is why the Gem farm matters even when your real target is rerolls: more pulls mean more chances at shinies and better units.
Be selective with Trait Crystals. Get a real carry first, then reroll traits on the unit that will actually stay on your team. Burning crystals on temporary units slows you down because every Trait reroll consumes a crystal at the Trait Reroll stand in the lobby’s Upgrades area.
VIP and Shiny Hunter speed up the loop, but they are accelerators, not requirements. Shiny Hunter increases the shiny side of the banner loop, while VIP helps with discounts; free players should simply lean harder on Free Run Mastery, challenges, quests, raids, and tournament rewards.
Do not mix up reroll types. Trait rerolls use Trait Crystals on units, while Equipment Reroll and Stat Reroll items are for gear and stats.
Farm Gems before spending Trait Crystals; a better banner pull can change which unit deserves your rerolls.
Free claims to collect before grinding
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| EA+ | 2,500 Gems plus Trait Crystals. |
| EA | 2,500 Gems plus Trait Crystals. |
| RELEASE | 2,500 Gems plus Trait Crystals. |
| AE#1 | 500 Gems, 5 Equipment Lock, 5 Equipment Reroll, 5 Stat Lock, and 5 Stat Reroll. |
Redeem codes before you start a long farm. Open the top-left three-dot menu, choose Redeem Codes, enter the code exactly, then press Redeem Code.
After codes, grab the claims that reset or fill naturally: daily login rewards, the release calendar, event rewards, group rewards, level milestones, and index rewards from obtaining units. Level milestones continue up to level 250, and the index is easy to forget because it pays out just for filling your collection.
The Battle Pass is more important for rerolls than Gems. The free and paid tracks together can pass 100 rolls by the end, so claim it as you progress rather than treating it like a side menu.
Finish your daily quests, weekly quests, and achievements whenever they line up with what you are already doing. Daily quest completion can pay 5 rerolls and 1,000 Gems, while weekly quests and achievement categories add more rerolls, Gems, and progression rewards over time.
Active modes worth doing after the AFK farm

| Regular Challenges | 3 rolls and 1,000 Gems. |
| Weekend double Challenges | 6 rolls and 2,000 Gems, up to 10 times a day. |

| Tournament | Rank 1 gives 10,000 Gems and 75 rerolls; top 5 gives 9,000 Gems and 50 rerolls. |
| Tournament percentage ranks | Top 5% gives 8,000 Gems and 50 rerolls; top 10% gives 7,500 Gems and 30 rerolls. |
| Duo Tournament | Same reward structure as the normal Tournament. |
| Global Tournament | Rank 1 gives 15,000 Gems and 125 rolls; top 10 gives 12,500 Gems and 100 rolls, across 5 entries. |
| Gold Shop | 25 rolls at 5,000 Gold each, or 125,000 Gold to buy the stock. |
| Expeditions Shop | Rerolls from the shop, with shop upgrades adding more access over time. |
Once your Free Run Mastery farm is set, active play should go into Story first clears, challenge stars, Regular Challenges, Raid shops, Gold Shop purchases, and tournaments. Start with one-time Story value, then move into repeatable Challenges, Raid shops, shops, and competitive modes when your team is ready.
Story first clears and challenge stars are the best early cleanup because they are direct account value. Challenges are the repeatable middle ground, while Raids, Gold Shop purchases, and tournaments become better once your team can clear consistently.
Low-value methods to skip or delay

The lobby AFK rewards area is much weaker than the Story Free Run Mastery farm, even with VIP. Use it only when you cannot run the actual Story farm.
Stat-cube Challenges are worth doing when you need cubes, but they are not the priority if your goal is Gems and rerolls. Weekly Challenges are valuable, but they can be difficult enough to require unbound units, strong carries, or help from other players.
Future Gem and reroll methods to watch
The tower-looking lobby mode is worth watching because it resembles a future infinite or tower-style mode that could pay Gems, rerolls, units, or leaderboard rewards. It is not part of the current core loop yet, so do not build your farm around it.
Guilds, the Wandering Trader, and deeper Expedition upgrades are also watch-list systems. Wandering Trader Sentaku can sell items for Gems when he appears, while Expedition upgrades may change what the shop, Gold Mine, and Resource Drill offer as accounts progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest Gem farm in Anime Expeditions?
Story > Free Run > Mastery is the fastest Gem farm because its boss-only pacing creates quick repeat clears with a reliable Gem payout.
How do you farm rerolls without spending Robux?
Use free code claims, daily and weekly quests, Story challenge stars, regular Challenges, Raid shop purchases, achievements, index rewards, and tournament rewards, then add banner shiny-unshine value when your Gem farm gives you enough pulls.
Is the normal AFK reward area worth using?
Only as a fallback. The normal lobby AFK area is passive, but it loses badly to running the Free Run Mastery farm whenever you can keep a Story farm going.
Should you buy VIP or Shiny Hunter for rerolls?
Shiny Hunter is the stronger reroll accelerator because more shinies can turn into more reroll value, while VIP helps the spending side with discounts.
What should beginners claim first for free Gems and rerolls?
Beginners should claim codes, daily login rewards, release calendar rewards, group rewards, Battle Pass rewards, level milestones, and index rewards before settling into longer farms.
More questions⤵
Which shop restocks daily?
Gold Shop restocks daily. Treat Raid shop rerolls as limited raid-currency purchases, and do not build your Gem or reroll route around the tower-looking lobby mode yet.
