In the brutal battles of Odin: Valhalla Rising, your gear’s grade and options can mean the difference between glory and defeat. From Common swords to Mythic armor, every piece of equipment, avatar, and mount carries a grade that defines its strength anunciou, plus unique options that boost your stats. Enhancing your gear unlocks even more powerful options, making you a force in Midgard. This guide breaks down item grades, explains how options work, and shares tips to maximize your gear’s potential. Let’s forge gear fit for Asgard’s halls!
Why Grades & Options Matter?
Grades determine the base power of your equipment, avatars, and mounts, with higher grades offering better stats like attack, defense, or speed. Options are additional stat boosts (e.g., Accuracy, crit rate) that make your gear unique, tailored to your class or playstyle. Enhancing equipment adds new options, turning a good item into a game-changer. For free-to-play (F2P) players, understanding grades and options helps you prioritize upgrades without wasting resources.
Beginner Tip: Focus on Uncommon or Rare gear early (levels 1–20) to balance cost and power. Save enhancement materials for Epic or higher items later.
Understanding Item Grades
Every key item in Odin—equipment, avatars, and mounts—is assigned a grade based on its stats, marked by a distinct color for easy identification. Here’s the breakdown:
| Grade | Color | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Mythic | Vibrant Red | Equipment |
| Legendary | Golden Yellow | Equipment, Avatars, Mounts |
| Epic | Purple | Equipment, Avatars, Mounts |
| Rare | Blue | Equipment, Avatars, Mounts |
| Uncommon | Green | Equipment, Avatars, Mounts |
| Common | Grey | Equipment, Avatars, Mounts |
Note: Equipment grades range from Common to Mythic, while avatars and mounts go up to Legendary. Check the item’s color in your inventory to identify its grade.
Options: Customizing Your Gear’s Power
Options are unique stat boosts attached to equipment, avatars, and mounts, varying by class or item type. For example, a Warrior’s sword might have an attack option, while a Priest’s staff might boost healing. Enhancing equipment unlocks additional options, making it stronger.
Example: The Plains Orb, when enhanced to +6, gains an Accuracy option, improving hit chance. Higher enhancements add more options, scaling with the item’s grade.
- Check Options: View an item’s options in the inventory or equipment menu.
- Enhance Strategically: Use gold and materials to enhance gear, unlocking new options at certain levels (e.g., +6 for Plains Orb).
- Class Match: Equip items with options that suit your class (e.g., crit for Rogues, defense for Warriors).
Top Tips for Grades & Options
Maximize your gear’s potential with these strategies:
- Prioritize Higher Grades: Focus on Rare or Epic gear for mid-game, as their base stats and options are stronger than Common or Uncommon.
- Enhance Smartly: Enhance Uncommon or Rare gear to +5 for early options, but save materials for Epic+ items later to avoid wasting resources.
- F2P Focus: Farm Rare gear from dungeons or quests and enhance to +6 for cost-effective options like Accuracy.
- Match Options to Class: A Sorceress benefits from mana or cast speed options, while a Warrior needs attack or HP boosts.
- Check Avatars and Mounts: Don’t ignore these—Legendary mounts can offer speed or stamina options, perfect for open-world travel.
My Gear Journey: From Common to Epic
Early in Odin, I was stuck with Common gear, barely surviving Midgard’s enemies. I enhanced a staff to +6, hoping for a miracle—nothing special. Then I scored a Rare from a dungeon and enhanced it to +6, unlocking an Accuracy option that made my Paladin hit like a sniper. By level 20, I had an Epic helm with a defense option, and I tanked Jotunheim mobs with ease. Lesson? Skip Common enhancements and aim for Rare or higher—it’s worth the grind!
Gear Up for Glory
Grades and options in Odin: Valhalla Rising let you customize your gear to dominate any battlefield. Hunt for Rare or Epic items, enhance them for powerful options, and match them to your class for maximum impact. With the right strategy, your gear will shine as brightly as Thor’s hammer.
