Today, I'll be sharing with you how I farm resources like diamonds, gold, and other items in Odin: Valhalla Rising as a free-to-play player. From what I know so far, there are two primary ways to do this.

Creating a Dummy Account for Autofarming

The first method is something many MMORPG veterans might be familiar with – creating a dummy account or an alternative account to autofarm items. These items can then be sold in the market. Once you have enough Odin diamonds (the in-game currency), you can transfer them to your main account through a process called ghost trading.

How to Autofarm

1. Set Up Your Dummy Account: Start by creating a dummy account.

2. Choose Farming Areas: Go to your minimap, look for any areas you want to farm and tap on the icons. These icons will show different areas available with various items you can obtain. I usually farm in a specific area that I've marked with a star since it's rich in items used to craft purple or blue weapons or gears. Each item is worth 23 diamonds in the market, and you can get around five of these every day using your dummy accounts.

Ghost Trading

Once you have enough diamonds and decide to transfer them to your main account:

1. Post an Item for Sale: On your main account, look for ordinary items that you can register in the market at an overpriced amount. For instance, if an item is worth 10 diamonds, you can sell it for 5000 diamonds, depending on how many diamonds you have on your dummy account.

2. Buy the Item with a Dummy Account: After registering the item, switch to your dummy account, find the overpriced item, and buy it. This way, you transfer the diamonds to your main account.

Example of Ghost Trading

I've collected about 6000 diamonds through this method. For instance, I sold an item worth 10 diamonds for 1150 diamonds and bought it using my dummy account. With these diamonds, I purchased expensive packages for Avatars and mounts, each worth 3000 diamonds. These purchases can yield purple or even gold items, which have higher stats than blue or green ones.

Creating Multiple Characters on the Same Account

The second method involves creating multiple characters on the same account. Odin: Valhalla Rising features a shared system where stats, avatars, mounts, resources, and other selective items can be shared among characters on the same account.

Benefits of Multiple Characters

1. Shared Stats and Items: Completing requirements in the Codex or collection feature grants stats that are shared across all characters on the account. Similarly, mounts and avatars can be equipped by other characters.

2. Separate Rewards: Each character receives a separate set of rewards for achievements and daily quests. This means more rewards overall for your account.

3. Storage and Transfer: Use the storage feature to transfer weapons and items between characters, making it easier to level up or farm items with lower-level characters.

Example of Using Multiple Characters

1. Set Up Storage: Go to town and access the storage to transfer items. For example, transfer a high-level weapon to a low-level character to make farming easier.

2. Switch Characters: You can create three characters for free, with additional slots available for purchase. Each character can access the items placed in storage.

3. Shared Codex and Dungeons: All characters share the same Codex stats. Additionally, you get three free dungeon runs per character each week, meaning nine free runs for three characters. Similarly, you get one hour of Elite Dungeon access per character daily and eight hours weekly, adding up to 24 hours of free farming.

Maximizing Resource Farming

Daily Quests and Achievements

Completing daily quests and achievements is crucial for accumulating resources. Each character's progress is tracked separately, so you can maximize the rewards by completing these tasks on all your characters.

Participating in Events

Keep an eye out for in-game events that offer bonus rewards. These events often provide additional resources like diamonds, gold, and crafting materials, making it easier to progress in the game.

Efficient Market Use

Be strategic about what items you sell and buy in the market. Focus on high-demand items that sell for a good price. Use your dummy accounts to farm these items efficiently.

Conclusion

Farming resources in Odin: Valhalla Rising as a free-to-play player is entirely possible with the right strategies. By using dummy accounts for autofarming and ghost trading, and by creating multiple characters to take advantage of shared stats and separate rewards, you can accumulate a significant amount of resources. Remember to complete daily quests, participate in events, and be strategic in the market to maximize your gains.
