It’ll give you benefits, such as:
Increased Inventory Space More Weapon Upgrade Stones Increased Farming Efficiency More Territe/Diamonds Increased Combat Power
In this guide, I’m going to show you how to create and switch between Alt Characters, how to level them up efficiently, and also go into more detail about the benefits of having them.
How To Create/Switch Alt Characters
You can create characters in the Character Selection screen shown every time you enter the game — as shown in the image below: To switch between Characters while in-game, you must first access your Menu by clicking the top-right icon with three bars: Then, with your Menu displayed, click the “Settings” icon at the bottom of your screen – it should look like a gear (see the image below): You’ll then be taken to your Settings page — more specifically your Game Settings page. Next, go to your Account Settings page by clicking the “Account” icon on the lower left-hand side of the Settings page: Finally, to switch characters, just click on the “Select Character” button: And you’re done! You’ll then be redirected right back to your Character Selection screen where you’ll be able to swap out between your Main and Alt Characters accordingly.
How To Level Up Alt Characters
Main Story Quests
Alt Characters get an EXP Boost buff that allows them to farm EXP much faster than your Main Character. To activate this buff, make sure your Alt Characters are at least ten levels lower than your Main Character. At Levels 1 to 33, you’ll have a relatively easier time leveling up just by clearing Main Story Quests — especially Levels 1 to 20 which you can achieve within an hour at most.
Swift Solutions
Upon reaching Level 33, you’ll eventually hit the “wall” where you can’t level up reliably just by clearing Main Story Quests anymore. This is why you’ll have to save up Swift Solutions for your Alt accounts, and not use them for your Main Account until your Alts get to the specific level you want. Swift Solutions give Characters a ton of EXP upon completion. In short, they will propel your Alt Character’s leveling efficiency when used — not to mention the rewards you get from them are shared so your Main Character will have access to them too!
AFK Farming
AFK Farming in the Chaos Field and the World Map is also another leveling method I’d like to recommend for Alt Characters. Whether it be through AI Mode or manual AFK Farming, you’ll level up faster if you AFK Farm through your Alt Character often. This is because of the EXP Boost your Alt Characters naturally get if they’re ten levels lower than your Main Character.
Benefits of Having Alt Characters
There are several benefits that you can get from creating and leveling up multiple Alt Characters — making them more or less necessary for all players.
Benefit #1: Increased Inventory Space
Increased inventory space is arguably the most important benefit of having multiple Alt Characters — especially if you’re F2P. This is very important because without spending any money in the Shop for inventory slots, your quality of gameplay will be severely limited. The number of extra inventory slots given to all of your characters after you level up an Alt Character to a certain level is as follows:
Benefit #2: More Weapon Upgrade Stones
Another great thing about leveling Alt Characters is that you get to go through the Main Story Quests from scratch. This means that you get to farm Quest Completion rewards all over again — more notably the Weapon Upgrade Stones you get to claim after finishing certain Quests. Weapon Upgrade Stones are highly valuable, and will be an important resource to have if you want to increase your main character’s Combat Power.
Benefit #3: Increased Farming Efficiency
Alt Characters will more often than not be stronger than your Main Character at the same level. This means that your farming efficiency using Alt Characters will be higher — allowing you to kill off mobs at a much faster rate. This is why you should consider using Alts when AFK farming. You can farm lower-level mobs and get the same drops you can farm on your main account, but way faster.
Benefit #4: More Territe/Diamonds
Territe and Diamonds are by far the hardest currencies to acquire in Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds. Luckily, you can get more of them either as Quest Completion rewards, or as Account Bonus rewards from leveling up your Alt Characters! The amount of additional Daily Territe Energy & Territe Energy Limit (not Territe) and Diamonds given to you after you level up an Alt Character to a certain level is as follows:
Benefit #5: Increased Combat Power
You can farm a decent amount of Combat Power for your Main Character if you level your Alt Characters up to certain levels. They’ll come either as raw CP Boosts, Special Skill Boosts, or even from Weapon Chests given to you as Class Grade Rewards! You can get the following CP Boosts just by leveling up an Alt Character to the following levels: While this isn’t the most essential benefit of having an Alt Character, this is still a great bonus — especially if we consider how hard it is to increase your Main Character’s CP in the late game.
