Introduction to Alting

Okay so let’s begin on what is Alting? Alting is the concept of making an alternative character/account to help you do something. In the case of Orna, it is creating a new character while still keeping you main.
Why is Alting important? The simple and most easiest answer, is that it allows you to enter more dungeons, farm keys, farm End of Dungeon (EoD) rewards, reduce wait time of your main’s cooldown timer, increase the number of mobs you fight.
  • But we have horde mode, why should we alt?
    • Horde mode for themed has a minimum of 2 mobs per floor regardless of how many characters are in your party dungeon.
    • Party mode normal dungeons has a minimum based on number of people in the dungeon party. So a party of 2 will have 2 minimum with max of 5 , party of 3 will have 3 minimum with max of 5 and party of 4 will have a minimum of 4 with a max of five.
  • Is it important to know the difference between party mode and horde mode?
    • Yes, it is important because it allows you to optimize the number of mobs you face as well as dealing with cooldown. Horde mode currently only for themed is usually done as a solo player and has a cooldown of 1hr if 2x concord and by yourself. In this case, the mob generation of floors is the same. However, the more people that you have the more you can run the themed until you are off cooldown to use it again.
    • Horde mode in normal vs Party mode in normal Speculation
      • If horde follows the themed version than it will most likely be 2+ minimum and not player + minimum in which case party mode will both increase mob count and “reduce” wait time.
  • You are a noob for Alting?
    • No, you are playing the game more efficiently. If anyone says otherwise, its cause they can’t alt and have a shunning mindset of Alting is bad. Alting is another type of play style, you can do it if you want to and you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. Its like choosing to play a specific class and nothing else. Alting, it’s very important if you want to minmax.
    • Most top-level players use alts whether it’s a wayvessel alt, a material farming alt, amity research alts, etc.  
When to alt?
  • This is a difficult question to answer if I’m being fully honest, but if you are reading this guide then you should start Alting. You don’t actually need to alt until your main is at a minimum of t7 in my honest opinion. I didn’t alt until I was t9 back in the day and I created many alts now just for testing purposes and whatever I find interesting and fun to do.
  • If you do alt, make sure you make around 5 alts at the same time. You don’t need to play them at the same time. Just log into them once a day to be able to receive orns/coins. For every 8days that pass you get progressively more orns and gold until you hit day 8 in which you get max possible orns/gold with variation range and ornate that is your tier and two under. This also helps you save time in collecting stone. For early levels so you can skip finding stone and straight up become a wayvessel alt.
How to alt?
  • This is pretty simple, just go and hit create a new character and make sure you use the promotional code ORNSORNSORNS. This is very important for starting your Alting and leveling up adventure.
  • Have a minimum of two phones or have a phones that can split screen. It is needed if you want to play with both of your characters at the same time
Who to alt with and type of alts?
  • I would choose to start with warrior
  • While Alting, you want to choose all the classes that have start ward turn until you feel like your alt is strong enough to survive without needing the start ward turn classes.
  • How many possible alts are there?
    • If I had to break it down I would break it down into material alts, memory alts, wayvessel alts, cooldown alts which can also be considered material alts in retrospect, and miscellaneous alts.
    • Material alt is an alt at a specific tier to help you farm specific materials faster with best ratios.
      • If you were farming keys for example, you want t8 alts because they have the best ratio of spending to gaining keys. And while t8 key farming you can farm a good chunk of superior rarity materials to use for refinery
    • Memory alt is actually a very advanced alt which is generally correlated with the same tier as your main character.
      • You have a limited number of diluted memories gained a day, so the more alts you have the more you can farm amities that you are looking for. You would use your memory alt to waste diluted mnemonics to farm and see if it can find legendary and ornate version of the type of amities you want. They are very good way to save diluted memories for your main.
    • wayvessel alt are alts with the main purpose of just being a wayvessel for other players to use for a location. Tier 2 or higher are required for them
      • If you have a location maybe a little bit away from your house with 5+ dungeons, you can drop a wayvessel at that spot and activate it and within 24hrs you are able to go to the spot and anyone that you invite to that alts party can also go to the location whenever they want. Of course, as long as the players aren’t on a wayvessel cooldown.
    • Cooldown alts are alts to just kill time and get EoD rewards while waiting. Tier 3 or higher is required for them
      • Pretty self-explanatory, if you can’t find something to do, you use it to farm random stuff such as kingdom gold, EoD, etc.
    • Miscellaneous alts: Alts that don’t technically fall into any of the categories I came up with.
      • Such as maybe force spawn building alts
      • Technically, you can consider miscellaneous as cooldown alts as well but that’s up to y’all to decide. ​

​Beginner Guide to Alting

Welcome, you have made it this far to the guide so I’m assuming you are ready for your trip to Alting lane. Remember, don’t trip and fall and to always go at your own pace and do what you want to do. This is my guide after all, if you don’t like how I did some things and find doing something else more interesting, be my guess to do it. Now that we have officially started, lets get down to business.
  • Only creation alt
    • Make as many alts as you want and just log into them, until you need to truly use them, it helps you set them up for future endeavors down the road.
  • Leveling from 1-49
    • This is the most annoying part if I’m being completely honest, I would know because I leveled 20 alts from 1-50 in around 2hrs or so.
    • First, make a party using your alt as the lead. If your alt is the lead, the monsters your main will see will more than likely be what your alt sees + a few more.
    • Second, you want to use the ORNSORNSORNS promotional code that gets you 2.5k extra orns at the start of the game. Use that to buy an exp potion at the runeshop.
    • So, what you want to do is use your Monster Remains (MRs) that you collected during your adventure as a main. Spawn as many MRs as you can. Then start fighting the bosses that spawn while using the exp potion on your alt.
    • You want to enter battle on your main first before your alt.
      • I recommend entering combat with a summoner class line class to spawn more mobs than you would naturally spawn if you were using a non-summoner class. It is important to drag mobs into combat to farm stone because stone is important for most alts that you are trying to make.
    • Now, lets say you ran out of MR and you didn’t level to 50 with the MRs, that is fine. Just do the same thing with normal mobs in the world focusing on mobs that drop stone.
  • I got the 50 stones and 1mil gold
    • Congrats now you have officially created a wayvessel alt and on your way to making a memory and material alt.
    • You can stop here for your wayvessel alt and drop him in a random location that you can moderately get to conveniently and that has a lot of what you want such as coliseums or dungeons.
  • Beginners tip
    • If you don’t want to level pass 49, make sure to grab a ring of restraint at and place it as early as possible onto your character.
  • Gearing
    • What you want to gear your alt with is of course ornate gear. Or standard if you are trying for mimic heads. DW demon blades, great mimic helmet (for more exp reduction), fur coat or chest you get from wolves, and wolve feet gear, and two ring of restraints are your best gear for t2.
​

Intermediate Guide to Alting

Welcome, you have just got passed the hardest hurdle, the 1-50. Now you are on your adventure to being an intermediate alt type. In this stage, your best way to level is through dungeons and coliseums.
  • Leveling 50-174
    • Go become a centurion, and become a thief/rogue for sleep and stun dart.
    • Starting off at 50, if you logged enough days in the game you might have enough orns to already make a keep and upgrade to a fortress. If you don’t that’s not a big problem. From here, use your wayvessel and go and search for locations with lots of dungeons. Use both your alt and your main and start a party boss battle, you should a slightly positive keys by +1 but that’s not really the main point anyway. You are doing it to get more tokens, this is expecting that you didn’t get enough tokens from your level up from 1-50. Congrats now you have probably more than enough tokens to do Coliseums.
    • Okay, so from here on, you want to host your alt into a coliseum and your main will join you to wipe the entire floor. The more people you bring along the more exp you will get. So make sure to ask around if others want to join in a Coliseum run, but make sure you have more than 4+ alt to run coliseums so they don’t feel like they wasted there time. This and dungeons are your main source of exp.
    • Congrats as a level 50 and you cleared your first 4man coliseum you should be a minimum of t4 with slight variation depending on a few factors but lets ignore that for now.
    • Now as a t4, you can complete the side quest to upgrade 5 items. ( you don’t need to do story mode to unlock) With the quest completed you can unlock the quest to start diluted mnemonic praying at the oracle temple. Make sure to upgrade it to max for 100% success rate of obtaining a diluted mnemonic.
      • Congrats now you are finished with preparing to become a memory alt.
    • Okay, so you leveled up through coliseums and dungeons to t5
      • Now you are a seeker alt, you use the seeker specialization + VD build to see as much Dungeons and Colisuems are possible if you need to.
    • Now, off we go to becoming a t6
      • Congrats on being t6 alt, this is the I can use Greater Yokai to keep myself alive alt while using spells word class. Or a class + shieldmaiden. Lets move to becoming a t7 alt now.
    • I’m now t7 what do I do?
      • T7 is special, route. You can choose the T7 summoner class for free, so go and do the quest from Horus and go ahead get your summoner class.
      • Now lets say you don’t want to do t7 summoner, that’s fine just go ahead and farm until you become your t7 class that you want.
      • From t7, you will actually temporarily stop doing boss dungeons and start farming regular party mode normal dungeons.
        • You are doing it for the purpose of farming summon scrolls so make sure your luck is 4x or 400% cap
        • The summon scrolls will be what you use to level up to t8 if you don’t want to level through coliseums/dungeons anymore.
        • You are also now a t7 summoning scroll alt: very important alt
  • Intermediate tips
    • As a t7, you can spawn t6 raids and t5 raids. It is important to have a t7 alt to spawn t5 event raids for future endeavors
    • Make sure to find 100% memory rewards for your alt and or Best in Slot (BiS) amities for if you want to make your alt a very powerful t10/t11
  • Gear tips
    • So for 5-7 gear, best gear is the variation of Dagda gear + whatever the requirement to being a specific alt is.
    • Remember, world loadout/gauntlet/pvp/etc will all have different loadouts but the head/chest/boot will mainly consist of Dagda gear.
​

Advanced Guide to Alting

Oh wow, must have read a lot of my guide to come to this selection or did you skip my guide because you already had an account at this tier and wanted more extra information? Well, lets see if I can provide anything that you have already known and haven’t known. This section isn’t very special in my opinion and I think its most general common knowledge stuff.
  • Leveling from 175-200
    • Congrats you are a t8 alt the best key farming alt. You can stop now if you want and make a new alt.
    • For leveling, actually this is pretty much just raids, t8 titan event raids being the best one with least amount of hp with the most amount of exp.
    • Congrats you are now a t9 alt
      • The t9 alt is summon scroll alt 2.0 a better scroll farming alt for your main if you do not have a UW near you.
  • Advanced Tip
    • Running Freyr with double 75% defense amity and coiled dragon shield with decent gear will zero out all raids, and pretty much anything imho.
    • If you don’t want to carry your alts through raids using your main you can run Freyr with mentioned above + a damaging pet or you can run t8 Grand Attuner with very scary skeleton summon. The former being easier to get than the later being truly limited by arcanist event.
  • Gearing
    • Lots of variation so there won’t be a gear guide. Coiled shield + 2x 75% defend if going for Freyr though
  • You skipped level 200-225?
    • I did. If its your first alt, then you will want to have someone carry you to 225 that’s within the level range of 200+
    • If its your second alt at t9 than you will use your 225 alt to power level your t9 to t10.
    • Once your alt hits t10, it can finally be used as a memory alt for your t10+ main
    • If you have any questions about Alting at this point you can always @me in Orna Legends discord. I won’t tell you what to do from 200-225 because its technically no longer any information that you don’t already have gained from reading my guide and from asking people questions. Remember, its safer to ask questions than just assume something if you don’t know what it is about.

Advanced Alt Kingdom Guide to Alting

Oh, looks like you have finished the process of making your alts and understanding the powers of an alt. Now its time for more advanced knowledge such as Alt Kingdom. This is a lot of work and for the faint of heart. I do not recommend this to anyone unless you are insane like me or if you want another route to getting materials instead of using refinery for raids mats.
  • Why make an alt kingdom
    • The purpose of an alt kingdom is to help you farm raid mats such as solarite, cursed ortanite, platninum, titanium and etc.
    • It also allows you to target specific raids if they are available instead of relying on RNG scrolls to get the raids you want.
    • You don’t have to rely on other people to complete gauntlets or kingdoms to get kingdom orns.
  • How do I gear my alt kingdom?
    • You need a minimum of 6 characters, 12 if you want to do kingdom clashing
    • Alts within same tier and moderately same power level if kingdom clashing
    • One sacrificial alt kingdom/ one winning kingdom if clashing
    • If not clashing, just BiS gear for gauntlets/pvp without changing tier/power level aka need some type of exp restraint
    • You only need to be level 10 for any Event Raid, 20 for None event raid morri decide which you want, but you will casually reach level 20 kingdom doing kingdom quest/wars on those alts while farming materials on your main.
  • What is alt kingdom clashing
    • Kingdom clashing is when you fight your own alt kingdom and pretty much only fight your alt kingdom, the more even the stats and the tiers are the higher probably of you fighting yourself.
    • You can gear all your alts to be powerful, but make sure you switch your sacrificial alt kingdom to a lower tier class or no gear before the fight starts and regear them once the fight is over. Because sometimes you won’t always be clashing with yourself.
  • Do you have any other tips about kingdom Alting?
    • Yes, I do. I call it cooldown circumventing. It pretty much is a way to constantly farm kingdom orns while circumventing the 1hr cooldown of KG and KW.
      • So to circumvent it, you just leave alt kingdom and join relatively new alt kingdom ( of course you need kingdom gold) and start kingdom wars and gauntlets on them and keep on making new kingdoms while always having an alt in there so you don’t accidentally disband the kingdom. Then you just endlessly cycle between them for KG cooldowns. If you are trying to farm kingdom orns.
      • Why should I do this method?
        • You shouldn’t its annoying, but if you are wanting to farm Korns than this is the actual best and practical because the 24hr joining kingdom only affects being able to do raids and not kingdoms wars and gauntlets. Technically it’s not really getting passed the cooldown but a way to get around it. Its like partying with another player but instead of another player you are partying with another kingdom.
      • How does it affect kingdom quests?
        • Those alts can take on both kingdom quests at the same time and complete it as long as they rejoin back into the kingdom to hit the complete button.
      • For example, is 1-2k Korn per gauntlet good for having no high level characters and alts.
        • Yup. Its good and worth it in my opinion. To get around those 1k-2k korns that would mean you have probably 6 t5? Probably, I haven’t really remember since I haven’t used my alt kingdom for a while after I already farmed 1.3m on it. I probably will go back into farming more orns. If I want to target specific raids.
        • Just casually gaining korns is good enough. And will be worth it later down the line.

​Final Message

​I’m glad that y’all have came down all the way to the final message, that means you at least gave a look at my guide and I appreciate that.  If you have any questions about Alting, feel free to go to the Orna main discord or Orna Legend discord and @ShortAsianGrandpa.  I will answer to the best of my abilities.  I actually have more Alting type methods but I kinda want to see if y’all can find what those methods are.  I’m very open to chatting and theory crafting with alts if y’all are interested in that kind of convo.
