Odin Valhalla Rising: Why Creating Alt Characters Is Essential

In Odin: Valhalla Rising, many players focus all their time and resources on their main character, pushing levels, grinding dungeons, and crafting gear. However, veteran players know that one of the smartest long-term strategies in the game is creating alt characters-secondary heroes that work behind the scenes to make your main stronger, richer, and more efficient. Let's break down why having multiple alts is so important, how they benefit you, and how to maximize their use.

1. Alt Characters Multiply Your Dungeon Access

Each week, dungeon entries in Odin: Valhalla Rising reset after a limited number of hours-typically eight hours per character. This is where alt characters shine.

If you have five characters, that's 40 hours of total dungeon access per week, instead of just eight. You can use your alts to run the same high-reward dungeons multiple times, gathering extra loot and resources for your main.

Take the Underground Prison, for example. This dungeon drops valuable items like YGG Drums, God Bells, and Caesar Pent tickets, as well as skill manuals that can be sold for diamonds. The God Bell alone can sell for 70+ diamonds early on, making this dungeon incredibly profitable. By running it on several alts, you maximize your diamond income while keeping your main character free to focus on progression.

2. Farming Resources and Crafting Materials

Aside from dungeon farming, alts can help gather rare materials like YGG Drums and God Bells, which are required for crafting rare and epic gear.

Each alt can independently complete town quests, side missions, and field hunts to earn these materials. Then, you can store these crafting items in the shared storage system and transfer them to your main character.

Because alts share the same mounts and avatars, leveling them up is much easier. Even a level 10 alt can run quests efficiently when equipped with gear and mounts transferred from your main. Over time, your alts become mini-resource farms-collecting loot, materials, and gold that you can funnel back to your main account.

3. Easy Gold Generation

Each character in Odin: Valhalla Rising can earn 3 to 6 million gold just by completing early quests and leveling up to around level 34.

With five characters, you can easily accumulate 20 million gold or more without grinding for weeks on your main.

Just focus on essential skills that cost under 1 million gold per alt to keep them functional without draining your reserves.

You'll also gain gold from pits and special zones, where different alt characters can mine and collect resources. This steady inflow of currency can cover your crafting and upgrading expenses, keeping your main's finances healthy.

4. Expanding Character Slots

Initially, you'll only have three character slots available. To unlock more, go to the Shop → General Offers → Consumables, where you can buy additional character slots for 800 diamonds each.

Unlocking two extra slots brings your total to five, which is the optimal number for most players who want a balanced mix of farming efficiency and manageability.

Though it's an investment, the return from all the extra dungeons, gold, and materials far outweighs the diamond cost in the long run.

5. Alts as Crafting Specialists

Another major advantage of alts is using them as dedicated crafters.

Since crafting high-tier gear requires rare materials like God Bells and YGG Drums, it's smart to distribute this workload among multiple characters. Each alt can focus on collecting and crafting certain equipment types, reducing the burden on your main.

For example, you can run Town Quests on alts to earn character-bound crafting items like God Bells. Save these across several alts, then consolidate them later for high-end gear creation. Because crafted items can be transferred through storage, nothing goes to waste.

6. Guild Coin and Epic Gear Farming

This next benefit is especially helpful for players chasing Epic-tier gear.

Each alt can join a different guild, allowing you to farm Guild Coins across multiple accounts. Since each character can donate Odin Diamonds to earn guild coins up to three times a day (1,500 per session), you can multiply your progress dramatically.

Normally, earning enough guild coins for a full Epic set can take over a month-but with five alts, you can cut that down to 7-14 days.

Each Epic item costs about 6,100 diamonds, so a full set across five alts totals around 30,000 diamonds-a hefty investment, but one that pays off in faster, more efficient gearing.

If you're free-to-play, this might be harder to achieve, but the system still helps by letting you accumulate guild resources at your own pace.

7. Shared Mounts, Avatars, and Gear

One of the best quality-of-life features in Odin: Valhalla Rising is the shared mount and avatar system.

This means when you start a new alt, they immediately inherit your mounts, costumes, and other shared bonuses. You can also pass down powerful gear through storage, letting your alts level up faster without needing to grind weak areas.

By leveraging shared items, you turn each alt into an efficient gold and loot farmer-ready to support your main at any time.

8. Long-Term Value of Alt Characters

Whether you're a free-to-play adventurer or a spender aiming for top-tier content, alt characters are a core part of efficient progression in Odin: Valhalla Rising.

They boost your gold, materials, and dungeon rewards; speed up your gear crafting; and even help you earn Epic items faster through multiple guilds.

In short, your alts are not just backups-they're the foundation of your success in Odin's vast world.

So before you rush your main through the story, take time to create and level your alternate characters. Invest in their growth, and you'll find yourself farming, crafting, and progressing far faster than players who only focus on one hero.

Final Tip

Use your alts smartly-run their weekly dungeons, collect crafting items, and manage their guild donations daily. With consistency, you'll see your account's overall power grow rapidly.

As always, happy farming-and may Odin bless your grind!
