I logged in bruised by a raid and froze at three empty portraits. You’ve felt that small, nagging panic — need a backup for raids, a tester for a new build, and nowhere to put them. I’ll show you how to carve more room into that tight roster.
At first glance: your save starts with three character slots
That’s the cold fact when you begin Mistfall Hunter: three characters, plain and immovable on the login screen. You can create different classes or multiple builds of the same class, and you can swap between them from the login screen without losing progress. If you want to carry options into late-game content, you’ll have to expand beyond those defaults.
How many character slots do you start with?
New accounts begin with three character slots. Think of them as your starter tools — enough to trial two roles and keep one spare for experiments.
Real-world check: upgrade paths live in the Gyldenblod Pool
Open the Gyldenblod Pool and you’re looking at the game’s hub for roster expansion. I treat this menu like a toolshop; each upgrade adds capacity and sometimes other benefits. The pool is tied to Gyldjar capacity, so pushing pool levels gives you more character slots as a side effect.
How do I get more character slots?
Increase the level of your Gyldenblod Pool. Each specific pool level adds character capacity as follows:
- Level 3: +1 character slot
- Level 4: +2 character slots
- Level 5: +3 character slots
- Level 6: +4 character slots
- Level 7: +5 character slots
- Level 8: +6 character slots
- Level 9: +7 character slots
Reach level 9 and your roster tops out at 10 slots. That’s the ceiling built into the current version on Steam, Google Play, and the App Store.
On the ground: why you should pick a core two characters
Most successful players I watch on Twitch and creators on YouTube treat only two characters as primary. You can reset Talent points freely, which makes switching builds simple, but spreading resources across many characters slows progression.
Use the extra slots for experimentation and side projects, but keep two pillars that carry your endgame content. Think of extra slots like a Swiss Army knife — handy in a pinch — and the two mains like widening a doorway so your raid team can move through without bottlenecks.
What is the maximum number of character slots?
With the Gyldenblod Pool at level 9 you reach the maximum of 10 character slots. Hitting that level demands time, resources, and attention to the Pool’s upgrade requirements — there’s no instant shortcut unless the developers add paid options to storefronts later.
If you want to speed things up, track your Gyldjar income and target the Pool upgrades first when planning runs and crafting sessions. Tools like community spreadsheets on Google Sheets, guides on Reddit, and creators on YouTube can help you prioritize materials and run routes.
I’ve watched players waste Gyldjar on half-built alts and then regret it during a seasonal push; focus matters more than having a collection. Which builds will you commit to and which will you leave for experimentation?
