This time we're diving into a different game: Odin: Valhalla Rising. Currently, I'm playing the Japanese version since the global or English version isn't available yet. However, it's already announced for a Q4 2023 release, which means it should be out by October onwards.

Today, I'll be sharing my strategies for farming resources like Odin diamonds, gold, and other items as a free-to-play player. From my experience, there are two main ways to efficiently farm these resources.

Method 1: Creating a Dummy Account for Autofarming

For those familiar with MMORPGs, this method might be second nature. It involves creating a dummy or alternative account to autofarm items that you can sell in the market. Once you gather enough diamonds—the in-game currency—you can transfer them to your main account through a process known as ghost trading. Here's a detailed guide on how to do it:

Setting Up Your Dummy Account

    • Create a Dummy Account: Start by setting up an alternative account. This account will be used primarily for farming.

    • Identify Farming Areas: Open your minimap and look for areas rich in valuable items. For example, I often farm in a specific area where I can gather items used to craft purple or blue weapons or gears. These items are worth about 23 diamonds each in the market.

    • Autofarm Items: Use your dummy account to autofarm these items. Typically, you can collect around five of these items daily.

Ghost Trading

Once you've accumulated enough diamonds on your dummy account, you can transfer them to your main account using ghost trading. Here’s how:

    • Register Items on the Market: On your main account, find ordinary, non-rare items that can be sold at an inflated price. For instance, an item worth 10 diamonds can be listed for 5,000 diamonds, depending on the amount you have on your dummy account.

    • Post the Item: Register the item for sale and wait for it to appear in the market (usually after about 30 minutes).

    • Switch Accounts: Log into your dummy account, find the listed item, and purchase it. This transfers the diamonds to your main account.

This method effectively channels resources from your dummy account to your main account, boosting your diamond reserves.

Example of Ghost Trading

To illustrate, I’ve sold items like this one worth 10 diamonds for 1,150 diamonds. I then used my dummy account to buy it, thereby transferring the diamonds to my main account. This strategy has allowed me to accumulate and spend over 6,000 diamonds on valuable in-game purchases such as avatars and mounts.

Method 2: Utilizing Multiple Characters on the Same Account

The second method involves creating multiple characters on the same account. Odin: Valhalla Rising offers a shared feature where stats, avatars, mounts, resources, and selective items can be shared across characters within the same account.

Creating and Managing Characters

    • Character Slots: The game allows you to create up to three characters for free. Additional slots can be purchased with diamonds.

    • Shared Resources and Stats: The Codex or collection feature lets you share stats and items across all characters. Completing Codex requirements grants stats that benefit all characters, even low-level ones.

    • Transferring Items: Use the storage or vault feature in town to transfer items like weapons to lower-level characters, making it easier to farm on low-level maps.

Maximizing Daily Rewards

Each character receives separate daily rewards and achievements. Here’s how to make the most of them:

    • Daily Quests and Achievements: Each character gets unique rewards for completing daily quests and achievements. This means triple the rewards if you have three characters.

    • Dungeon Runs: Each account gets three free dungeon runs per week, plus additional runs for elite dungeons. With three characters, you can multiply your farming time and gather more resources.

Example of Shared Features

Switching between characters, you can claim items from the storage, ensuring that even your low-level characters can benefit from higher-level gear. This shared system is particularly advantageous for maximizing your farming efficiency and accelerating your progress.

Tips for Effective Farming

    • Choose Farming Areas Wisely: Focus on areas with high-value items to maximize your diamond earnings.

    • Optimize Your Dummy Account: Regularly check the market for items you can sell at inflated prices to facilitate ghost trading.

    • Utilize Shared Features: Take full advantage of the shared Codex, storage, and daily rewards to boost your overall resource collection.

Conclusion

As a free-to-play player in Odin: Valhalla Rising, these strategies can significantly enhance your resource farming capabilities. Whether using a dummy account for autofarming and ghost trading or leveraging multiple characters for shared benefits, you can efficiently gather Odin: Valhalla Rising diamonds, gold, and other valuable items. By implementing these methods, you’ll be well-equipped to progress and enjoy the game to its fullest.
