You can definitely get a lot just from free play. I am sitting around 110 valk sword light right now, and that's just from archwitch kills, free EH keys, and ranking rewards, plus I'm actually consistently using the light swords during events. Shoes are notably less common so it is harder to get a good pile of them.

There's a lot you can do without spending money. Honestly, the hardest thing would probably be having enough shoes to do whatever you want - the maiden tickets really shine there. Swords are very easy to stay supplied on though.
