Today, I'll be sharing how I farm resources like Odin diamonds, gold, and other items as a free-to-play player.

Farming Resources in Odin: Valhalla Rising

From what I've gathered, there are two main ways to farm resources in this game. Let's break them down:

Method 1: Using a Dummy Account for Autofarming

For those of you who have played a lot of MMORPGs, this method might sound familiar. The idea is to create a dummy account or an alternate account to autofarm items that you can sell in the market. Once you have enough diamonds, which is the in-game currency used in the market, you can transfer them to your main account through a process known as ghost trading.

Step-by-Step Guide to Ghost Trading

1. Create a Dummy Account: Set up an alternate account to farm items.

2. Select a Farming Area: Open your minimap and select an area with valuable items. For instance, I farm in a specific area that yields items used to craft purple or blue weapons or gear. These items can be sold for around 23 diamonds each.

3. Farm Items: Use your dummy account to farm these items. You can typically gather around five of these items daily.

4. Transfer Diamonds: To transfer diamonds to your main account:

        • On your main account, register an ordinary item in the market at an overpriced amount. For example, an item worth 10 diamonds can be listed for 5,000 diamonds.

        • After posting the item, switch to your dummy account, find the overpriced item in the market, and buy it.

5. Verify the Transfer: Once purchased, the diamonds will transfer from your dummy account to your main account. This is how ghost trading works.

Method 2: Creating Multiple Characters on the Same Account

Another effective way to farm resources is by creating multiple characters on the same account. Odin: Valhalla Rising offers a shared feature where stats, avatars, mounts, resources, and certain items can be shared across characters on the same account.

Benefits of Multiple Characters

1. Shared Stats and Items: Use the Codex or Collection feature to complete requirements and obtain stats that can be shared among all characters.

2. Transfer Gear and Items: Utilize the storage feature to transfer weapons and items between characters. This helps lower-level characters farm items more efficiently.

3. Separate Daily Rewards: Each character has its own set of daily rewards and achievements, which means more rewards overall.

4. Dungeon Runs: Every week, each character gets three free dungeon runs, including Elite Dungeons. With three characters, you get nine free dungeon runs, maximizing your farming time and rewards.

Detailed Farming Strategies

Dummy Account Farming

Let's dive deeper into the dummy account farming method.

1. Farm Valuable Items: Focus on areas that yield high-value items. For example, I target an item used in crafting high-tier gear. This item's market price is around 23 diamonds.

2. Market Strategy: Consistently gather these items and sell them in the market. Accumulate diamonds on your dummy account before transferring them to your main account via ghost trading.

Using Multiple Characters

1. Codex and Collection: Ensure you complete the Codex or Collection requirements to share stats across characters. This boosts overall performance.

2. Storage Transfers: Transfer powerful gear to lower-level characters to aid in faster leveling and more efficient farming.

3. Daily Quests and Achievements: Complete daily quests and achievements on each character to maximize rewards.

4. Dungeon Farming: Take advantage of the free weekly dungeon runs to gather essential resources like upgrading materials, gold, and experience points.

Practical Example

Here's a practical example to illustrate the process:

1. Dummy Account: Farm an item worth 23 diamonds. Gather five of these items daily.

2. Main Account Market Strategy: Register a low-value item in the market at an inflated price (e.g., 10 diamonds listed for 5,000 diamonds).

3. Transfer: Switch to your dummy account and purchase the overpriced item, effectively transferring diamonds to your main account.

4. Result: Use the accumulated Odin: Valhalla Rising diamonds on your main account to purchase high-value packages, avatars, or mounts.

Conclusion

Farming resources in Odin: Valhalla Rising as a free-to-play player requires strategy and patience. Utilizing a dummy account for autofarming and creating multiple characters on the same account are two effective methods. These strategies allow you to maximize your resource collection and enhance your gameplay experience.
