Opals in Assassin's Creed Valhalla: From Commoner to Opal Oligarch
So you've set sail to the glorious lands of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, a Viking seeking not just conquest, but fabulous loot! But hold your longships, there's a new kind of treasure in town – Opals. These shimmering stones aren't just for fancy jewelry (although Eivor would probably rock an opal ear cuff), they're the key to unlocking some truly epic gear at Reda's Shop.
Here's your one-stop guide to becoming an Opal Oligarch, richer than a dragon hoarding tourists' cameras.
Finding Opals in the Wild: A Treasure Hunt for the Faint of Wallet
Let's be honest, this method ain't exactly swimming in loot. There are a limited number of opals scattered around the map, like shiny breadcrumbs for a very determined Viking. You'll need to be online to see them, and be warned, exploration fatigue is a real thing.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Pros: Scenic route to riches, enjoy the view!
Cons: More tedious than a longship stuck in a traffic jam. You'll probably trip over more interesting loot before finding enough opals to buy anything cool.
Reda's Contracts: Eivor, the Reluctant Errand Boy
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
This is where things get interesting. Reda, a shady character who looks like she crawled out of a Tim Burton movie, offers Contracts. Basically, you become Eivor, the world's most glamorous errand runner. These can range from eliminating pesky bandits to bringing Reda a rare flower (because apparently, even shady merchants need a little romance in their lives).
Daily Contracts: These are quick and easy, bringing in a cool 5 opals each. Perfect for topping up your opal reserves for that must-have glowing beard cosmetic.
Weekly Contracts: Here's where the real haul comes in. Completing these can net you a whopping 20 opals. But beware, some might require you to travel further than a homesick raven.
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.

Pros: Steady stream of opals, a chance to test your Viking skills (and patience with Reda's sass).
Cons: Contracts can be repetitive, and some require a bit of travel. Still beats cleaning out bandit camps for pocket change though.
Ubisoft Connect: The Free Opal Fairy Godmother
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
Every now and then, Ubisoft throws us Vikings a bone (or should that be a shiny fish?) in the form of free opals through Ubisoft Connect. Keep an eye out for challenges or special events that might reward you with these precious stones. It's basically free money, with no side quests or errands involved!
Pros: Free opals! Need I say more?
Cons: These opportunities are not always available, so rely on them as a nice bonus, not your main source of income.
Remember, Viking: Patience is a Virtue (Especially When It Comes to Opals)
Don't get discouraged if your opal collection isn't overflowing after five minutes. Getting enough opals for that fancy new armor set takes time and dedication. But hey, think of it as an investment in looking absolutely smashing while you raid monasteries.
So there you have it, future Opal Overlord! With a little effort (and maybe a dash of luck), you'll be swimming in opals and looking sharper than Odin's beard in no time. Now get out there and raid... I mean, complete contracts... and make Reda proud (or at least slightly less grumpy).
