Odin: Valhalla Rising Diamonds are the premium currency in the game, and they are essential for purchasing gear, growth materials, and other useful resources from the premium shop. Thankfully, with the right strategies and daily habits, it's very possible to consistently earn diamonds in the game, even as an F2P player.

This guide will walk you through multiple ways to farm diamonds effectively, from elite dungeon runs to gathering materials like wood and ore, using alt characters, and selling tradable loot on the market.

1. Underground Prison Dungeon - Weekly 8-Hour Limit

One of the best and most consistent ways to farm diamonds is by grinding in the Underground Prison elite dungeon. Each character is allowed 8 hours per week, and the reset happens every Monday at 10:00 AM server time.

This dungeon drops several valuable items that can be sold for diamonds on the in-game market. For example:

• Enigma Crystals

• EG Drums

• Faded Insignias

• Rare crafting materials

If you're lucky enough to loot these items, you can list them in the market and sell them for decent amounts. For instance, selling two items that each go for 27 diamonds can instantly give you 54 diamonds in a single drop. And that's just one quick example—multiple runs can yield even more.

If you manage to level up and create 3 alt characters, you'll essentially have 24 hours of dungeon farming per week—8 hours per character. This means you can potentially farm three times as many materials and triple your diamond income.

Tip: Spread the farming across multiple days—like 5–6 dungeon runs per day per character—so you don't burn out and can still complete your daily quests and side missions.

2. Buy Gear from the Premium Shop Using Farmed Diamonds

Once you've earned enough diamonds from dungeon runs and selling materials, you can reinvest them in high-quality items in the premium shop.

Examples of items worth buying include:

• Ancient Jotnar Insignia – Adds +2% melee damage

• Premium Defense Gear – With +4 defense stats

These items improve your survivability and damage, especially during boss fights or harder dungeon content. Some of these items may also appear in daily login rewards, so make sure to check those before purchasing.

3. Woodcutting and Gathering – Surprisingly Profitable

Another method that's often overlooked by new players is gathering, especially woodcutting. In the early days, many players ignored these life skills because they were focused on leveling up through the main quests. But once you hit a progression wall or get stuck on a tough quest (like a strong boss or spider encounter), gathering can be a productive way to earn diamonds.

Wood is in high demand because it's needed for crafting essential equipment. Even common wood sells for around 6 diamonds each, and since gathering is relatively easy and can be done while semi-AFK, it's a solid source of income.

4. Don't Dismantle Everything – Sell Tradable Loot Instead

When farming or running dungeons, you'll end up with lots of loot—some common, some rare. Many players make the mistake of dismantling or discarding items right away, but this can be a missed opportunity. Before breaking down items, check their market value.

For example:

• Faded Insignia – Sells for around 82 diamonds

• Copper Bracelet – 29 diamonds

• God Bell (GU Good Bell) – Often farmed in the Underground Prison

As long as these items are tradable, list them on the market first. If they don't sell, you can always dismantle them later. But many players will buy these materials to save time, so there's usually decent demand.

5. Create Alts and Share Gear – Efficiency Multiplied

As mentioned earlier, having multiple characters is essential for maximizing dungeon time. But there's another advantage to creating alts: shared gear.

When you create an alternate character of the same class as your main, you can pass down tradable gear through storage. This means you don't need to start from scratch on every alt—just equip the powerful gear from your main and you're ready to farm efficiently right away.

Tips for sharing gear:

• Use the storage system to transfer gear between characters.

• Only invest in tradable gear so that your alts can equip them.

• Focus on same-class alts so all the items are compatible.

• Level each alt to at least level 40 to access the Underground Prison dungeon.

For example, if your main has reached 11,500 power at level 30 using strong equipment, your level 30 alt can immediately equip the same gear and be ready to farm effectively.

6. Join Real Invader Events for Additional Rewards

Another good way to boost your farming efficiency is by participating in Real Invader world events. These events offer boss fights that yield good loot and can contribute to missions, experience, and valuable drops. Bosses have large HP pools, but if your gear is solid and you know the mechanics, you can clear them and earn additional tradable items.

7. Progress Your Main Quest for Better XP and Unlocks

Even though farming is crucial, don't forget the importance of progressing your main questline. Some dungeons, features, and loot sources are only unlocked by advancing in the story. For example, the Joton Him Part 3: The Messenger quest is a key progression point you'll want to clear.

Your XP farming also benefits from quest progression, so mix in farming with questing to level up efficiently.

8. Log in Daily for Rewards and Resets

Finally, don't miss your daily login rewards, which sometimes offer Odin diamonds, tradable gear, or consumables that you'd otherwise have to purchase. The weekly dungeon reset at 10:00 AM Monday is also critical—set a reminder so you can use up all your 8 hours per character.

If you plan to push all 3 characters through their 8-hour dungeon runs, it's best to spread them out over a few days. Aim for 2-3 hours per day per character, and always clear the easier dungeon content first to maximize your farming window.

Summary

With these tips, even a free-to-play player can accumulate hundreds of diamonds weekly without needing to spend real money. Stay consistent, rotate your characters, and always check the market value of your drops before dismantling.
