Farming Odin: Valhalla Rising Diamonds can be difficult, especially if you're free-to-play or just starting. With so many new players struggling to earn Diamonds this June 2025, it's the perfect time to go over all the ways you can consistently farm them using AFK methods, dungeon grinding, and market flipping. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know using basic, straightforward strategies that work regardless of your gear or spending level.

Understanding How Diamond Farming Works

Diamonds in Odin: Valhalla Rising are a premium currency that players can earn through the Trading Post. Instead of being handed out directly through quests or missions, Diamonds mostly come from selling valuable drops to other players. These include weapons, armor, accessories, upgrade materials, and codex items. The core idea is simple: farm what other players want and sell it on the market.

Step 1: Learn the Trading Post System

The first step in farming Diamonds is understanding how the Trading Post works. Go to the Trading Post in-game and browse the different item categories like Weapons, Armor, Accessories, Materials, and Skill Books. Check the prices of items, especially Uncommon or Rare ones. If you're free-to-play, you're most likely going to be farming Uncommon items for profit.

Look at what's trending and which items have the highest value in your server. Remember, prices change from one server to another. For example, one server might have a Mana Sword and Shield selling for 75 Diamonds, while another might only value it at 40. Always check item prices before choosing a farming spot.

Step 2: AFK Farming for Codex Drops

A very common and reliable method for earning Diamonds is through AFK farming. You'll want to target mobs that drop Uncommon equipment needed for codex entries. These are often in high demand and sell well on the Trading Post.

Use the item info window in-game to check which monsters drop the item you're interested in. Go to those locations and set up your character to AFK farm. Free-to-play players should avoid mobs that are much higher in level, as accuracy becomes an issue. Instead, find enemies that are close to your level and drop the items you're targeting.

For example, farming for Mana Sword and Shield or Mana Battle Axe can earn you steady income. The Mana Axe sells for around 25 Diamonds per piece. You can earn up to five or six of these in a day, depending on how efficient your setup is.

Once you've collected the items, sell them on the Trading Post and claim your Diamonds. With consistent effort, you can earn over 1,000 Diamonds in just a day or two using AFK methods alone.

Step 3: Dungeon Runs for Rare Drops

Another reliable source of Diamonds is from running dungeons. The most profitable dungeon right now is the Underground Prison, especially levels B3, B4, and B5. These dungeons are time-gated, meaning each character only gets eight hours per week. However, you can multiply your chances by using multiple characters.

Drops from these dungeons can include Epic and Uncommon weapons and gear, some of which sell for hundreds of Diamonds. For example, a Prosty Wand might sell for 165 Diamonds, while a Prosty Dagger could go for over 500.

If you rotate five characters through these dungeons every week, you greatly increase your odds of getting valuable items. Even if you only get one good drop per character per week, that's still a few thousand Diamonds per week with minimal effort beyond setup.

Step 4: Farm in Elite Dungeons

Elite Dungeons like Boy Ruins and Darven Secret Path also have great potential for earning Diamonds. In particular, the Frozen Path area is worth focusing on. Here, you can farm for yellow and purple upgrade materials, which are always in demand on the market.

Yellow upgrade stones sell for around 150 Diamonds (armor), 90 Diamonds (weapon), and up to 380 Diamonds (accessories). Purple ones can reach 1,000 Diamonds or more. These materials drop somewhat consistently, so just grinding a few hours a day can lead to serious profit.

Use your main and alt characters to farm Elite Dungeons every day. Rotate between characters so that you're always using the available daily farming time efficiently.

Step 5: Monitor Prices and Adapt Quickly

Item prices change constantly depending on server demand and supply. Items that were profitable last week might drop in value as more players flood the market. This is why it's important to frequently check market prices and adjust your farming targets.

For example, the Prosty Dagger was selling for 500 Diamonds early in the server, but it may drop to 50 Diamonds later. Don't hoard your items hoping for better prices. Sell them while demand is high and farm other gear if the value of your target item drops too much.

This also applies to codex items like the Mana Battle Axe or Sword and Shield. They're valuable early on but lose value over time as more people complete their codex entries.

Step 6: Use Your Alts Wisely

Having multiple characters is a huge advantage in Odin: Valhalla Rising. Use your alt characters to do the same dungeon runs and AFK farming that your main does. You don't need to level them up completely. Just get them strong enough to farm basic Uncommon items or access the dungeons.

Even if each alt only earns 500–1000 Diamonds per week, that quickly adds up if you have four or five alts. This is one of the most efficient and underrated ways to multiply your Diamond income without spending money.

Step 7: Materials and Upgrade Items Are Worth Farming

Upgrade materials are among the most stable sources of Diamonds in the game. Players are always enhancing their gear, so they'll keep buying stones and materials even when equipment drops in price.

Focus on yellow and purple enhancement items. Check their value on the Trading Post under the Materials section. Some enhancement stones for accessories can sell for 300 to 400 Diamonds per piece, and even the cheaper ones are worth farming if they're easy to collect.

Even if the drop rates aren't perfect, just getting one enhancement item can make a full day of farming worth it. Keep them in mind as part of your daily farming plan.

Step 8: Don't Waste Diamonds on Codex Too Early

In the early game, it's better to farm Diamonds and save them than to rush into buying codex entries. Codex item prices drop quickly over time, especially once players start completing their collections.

Hold off on spending your Diamonds until later in the midgame, when codex items and high-end gear prices become more reasonable. Use the early game to build up your Diamond savings by selling, not buying.

Final Thoughts

Farming Diamonds in Odin: Valhalla Rising isn't overly complicated, but it does require consistency, smart planning, and market awareness. If you're free-to-play, your best options are to:

· Regularly check Trading Post prices

· AFK farm Uncommon equipment that sells well

· Use all dungeon hours with your main and alts

· Grind Elite Dungeons daily for upgrade materials

· Sell early before the market crashes

· Save Diamonds for mid to late game codex needs

Stick to these strategies and you'll be earning thousands of Odin Diamonds per week without spending real money. Just be patient, monitor the market, and rotate your characters through your farming routes. With enough time and dedication, even free players can earn enough Diamonds to stay competitive.
