This article explains the Friend Points system in Umamusume: Pretty Derby. It includes how to earn Friend Pts, recommended items to exchange, and list of items you can get.
How to Earn Friend Points
|
Support Card Rental Rewards

You can get Friend Points when the Support Card you have set on your profile is used by other people. You will receive the Friend Points the day after another player uses it in your gift box.
Easy to Earn with MLB Card
Although it requires you to own one, you can earn Friend Points easily by setting a MLB Support Card as your profile card. A Scout-exclusive MLB Support Card is desirable, but since getting MLB for Event SSR Support Cards is also possible for free-to-play trainers, you can also consider choosing those.
Team Trials Class Rewards

You can get a large amount of Friend Points from Team Trials Class rewards. You can get Friend Points for the First Promotion, (re-)Promotion, Retention, and Demotion. However, since Class 6 gives you 6,000pt, which is the most efficient, ideally you want to maintain Class 6.
Team Trials Winning Rewards

They are rare, but you can sometimes earn Friend Points in Team Trials after winning. It's not a guaranteed drop, but you should always aim for it in Team Trials.
Mission Clear Rewards

There are also missions where you can get Friend Points. You can get 100 Friend Points every day from Daily Missions, so you should do your Career runs every day.
How to Use Friend Points
Exchange for items in the Shop

You can exchange the Friend Points you've saved for various items in the shop. Among the exchangeable items are things useful for your Career, like SSR Support Cards and Support Points.
Recommended Items
Follow Slot Boosts

If you exchange for a Follow Slot Boost, your limit to rent cards will increase, so there's no harm in exchanging for it right away. It's especially helpful early on when you tend to rely on cards you borrow from friends, so it should be the first item to get.
Haru Urara will be a Strong Card

You can exchange Friend Points for SSR Haru Urara up to MLB. If you're doing a Guts focused career, she's good choice.
Support Points are Available

You tend to be short on Support Points right after starting the game. Eventually, you'll want to use Friend Point Exchange for other things, but if you have extra or are really struggling for Support Points in the early game, exchanging for them is also an option.
