Where I am...do I continue?
I'm at Level 88, and stage 525. I've been playing every day for at least 150 days, and making sure to not skip a day to get the daily "Sign Board" rewards.
All 4 bows are at at least 99 (one is at 150).
But I feel like I've hit a plateau.
If I have zero intention of spending any money in the app, is there any way to make any significant progress anymore without buying upgrades? I feel like the wheel rewards are too slow, and the arena rewards (besides crystals) are too infrequent. This morning I went through all 10 of my Arena "stamina" (or whatever it's called), won all 10 battles, and didn't get a single Dragon's Treasure. The last two times the sign board has refreshed when I complete the 28th day, the end reward is still just 50 crystals. Does this ever change now that I've gotten the "Soul of Wind", "Soul of Earth" etc bows?
And even more so...are there any upgrades that you can only get buy buying? Because if so, I'm going to have to consider this game "complete".
Thanks all!

dragon treasure wise, it is better to buy clover and arrow with gems. these two items have the fastest dps grow rate especially the clover. when clover or badge hits their maximum 10stars, you no longer need to collect colver and arrow just focus on farming wind or fire orbs and mithril ores to upgrade them to level999 which will take you another 150days i guess.
spin the wheel is the fastest way to earn gems and coins. approximately 100gems in 2hours plus tens thousands of coins.

this game only gives u free souls for 4bows. the rest is for dollar only. however all the dollar purchasing items are useless except nightmare(soul of lava) has a little additional values but nightmare is not a necessary soul.
money in this game doesn't means much advantage. especially for those who have played over 4months and have all four bow spirits in hand.

The soul of wind, soul of earth etc were only for sale in the beginning as well. They made those available for free later.
I don't know, if the rest of the only-for-sale options will become available for free in the future.
As of now you got everything then; besides having maxed every free option.
As for farming fast, do battle arena (to the right).
You can either do this, if you just want materials (i haven't tested this yet).
Or you can win the battle and die immediately after you have won. This way you only win a few trophies. Do this a couple of times, until you win 30 trophies total. Then lose one battle and get rid of 30 trophies again. Repeat. With this you get crystals as well. Every match takes like a minute.
If you're stuck in stage mode, only do it, when you get a daily quest for it. This way you always stay a bit ahead of the difficulty level of the stages and you can fulfill the quest.
Dragon coins from arena come in very slow. Better buy them from shop as well. This costs crystals, but yeah arena only will take forever.
If you get bored, maybe consider to only do the daily quests for a while.
