In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the Jomsviking serve as elite mercenary warriors, providing players with a unique opportunity to recruit, customize, and deploy their own Viking companions. These Jomsvikings can also be recruited by other players, creating a dynamic network of warriors within the game. Below is a comprehensive guide on how to create, recruit, and manage your Jomsviking in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
How to Create Your Jomsviking
- Build Barracks in Your Settlement:
- To create a Jomsviking, you first need to construct barracks in your settlement. This feature is available from the beginning of the game and requires 200 supplies and 30 raw materials.
- You do not need to upgrade your settlement rank to unlock this option.
- Interact with the Quartermaster:
- After building the barracks, a quartermaster will be accessible at the front of the building. Speak with them to initiate the Jomsviking creation process.
- Customize Your Jomsviking:
- You can customize the equipment and gender of your Jomsviking. However, be aware that once you select a gender, it cannot be changed later, so choose wisely.
- Equip and Deploy Your Jomsviking:
- Equip your Jomsviking with gear that your character, Eivor, currently possesses. Once you are satisfied with your customization, deploy your Jomsviking into the game world.
How to Recruit Other Jomsviking
- Finding Jomsviking from Other Players:
- After deploying your Jomsviking, you can encounter other players’ Jomsviking in the game. These mercenaries can be identified by a circular icon above their heads.
- Recruitment Locations:
- Jomsviking from other players can appear near your barracks or throughout England. To recruit a Jomsviking, approach them and pay 100 silver.
- Earnings from Your Jomsviking:
- When your Jomsviking helps other players, you can earn payouts. While you cannot track your Jomsviking directly, you can inquire with the quartermaster to see if your Jomsviking has been recruited by others. If so, you will receive 100 silver.
How to Edit Your Crew
- Managing Your Crew:
- To customize your raiding party or add recruited Jomsviking to your crew, interact with the quartermaster again.

- Selecting Warriors:
- You can choose up to six Viking warriors to accompany you into battle. Highlight a potential candidate and switch them with other warriors in your crew as desired.
