Why alts help

  • Energy is per character. 15 every 3 hours, 120 a day, capped at 560 without the membership and 840 with it (see Odyle Energy). It only starts after the first expedition quest at about level 22.
  • Unbound Kinah and materials move to your main through server storage (inventory > chest icon > Server Storage, same server only). An item that says "bound" but also "Can be placed in server storage" can move.
  • Bound Kinah stays on the alt, but you can still spend it for your main:
    • Put your main's gear in server storage, take it on the alt and enhance it there. The alt can enhance gear it can't wear.
    • Genus Insight rerolls: the boards are shared by every character.
    • Crafting materials from the Wind Breeze Merchants or the handicraft merchant.
    • Substance Morph Odyle Energy shards accept bound Kinah. More energy on the alt means more Conquest runs, which pay unbound Kinah (Trunx).

How many

AltsVerdict
0Fine. Fubgun reached 1,900+ with none
1Enough for most. TheWhelps sits in KR's top 3.7% with one main and one alt
2 to 3The sweet spot in Trunx's numbers and for Grobs and LittleFattyGG
4Still adds over 6 million a week in Trunx's free-to-play chart, but the cut has started
5+The weekly cut takes over. Needs paid character slots past the 4 free ones, and burns people out

The weekly Kinah cut

After a number of runs per week across all your characters on the server, Kinah from cubes drops in steps (to 80% from about the 84th run, then lower). Only Kinah drops, the other loot stays the same.

  • Conquest and Transcendence count separately. Past the Conquest cut, switch to Transcendence for full pay.
  • With the membership you loot each cube twice and it still counts as one run.
  • Your count is on the Expeditions screen under the weekly cumulative play reward.

Trunx's rough chart (main at 1,600, alts at 1,400 on two-star Conquest): about 11 million a week from the main, 7.3 million from the first three alts together, over 6 million from the fourth, under 3 million from the sixth. The membership raises the totals but the cut lands in the same place.

What to run on them

ContentWhy
ConquestUnbound Kinah: about 200,000 a cube at one star, 300,000 at two, 400,000 at three
Transcendence300,000 to 480,000 a claim, and its own run counter
Ascension TrialsQuick. Manastones and Soul Stones go through storage, pet chests are account-wide
AbyssEach alt has its own Corridors and enemy-side strongholds. Spend the points on Abyss skins: owning one gives PvP stats to every character
CraftingSeason shop coins are per character, so each alt buys its own materials. Each profession at level 50 gives 2 blue enhancement orbs (notXeon)
Board achievementsFill a whole Daevanion board on an alt for the achievement's Soul Stones and Manastones, then reset it (screenshot your layout first)

Not worth it on alts: Nightmare for wings (wings stay on the character that bought them).

Which class

  • Play what you like. Doing the same dungeons on the same class gets old fast (Grobs).
  • Supports get in easiest. An 80,000 Chanter or Cleric gets the last spot in a 100,000 group a damage dealer doesn't (TheWhelps). Templar and Gladiator also get in on role.
  • Chanter clears fast and is the most suggested alt (LittleFattyGG, notXeon).
  • Same class as your main: wardrobe skin-combining only rolls your main's weapon type, and more weapon skins raise that weapon's attack. That's the only shared benefit; gear can't be shared.

Time per alt

TheWhelps' week per alt after 45: 3 trials (about 10 minutes), Abyss Corridors if your server holds them (up to 13), about 10 dungeon runs from natural energy (about 60). About 80 minutes a week. Grobs puts it at 1 to 1.5 hours. Getting a new alt to 1,400 takes a day or two of side content first.

A simple plan

  1. Main to 45 first.
  2. Alts to level 22 early if you know you'll play them, so energy banks while you play your main.
  3. Later, alts to 1,000 and 1,400 for Conquest Kinah.
  4. Send unbound Kinah and materials to your main every few days.

KR/TW history

KR used to need many alts: Shugo, daily dungeons, invasions and weekly contracts were per character, and 8 alts each farmed the pet dungeon. Most of that is per server now and the pet dungeon is per character, so extra alts are worth less than they were (TheWhelps). notXeon expects later seasons to make low-tier Conquest Kinah bound; that's his guess, not an announcement.
