When you’re in your inventory, when you go on or hover over an item saying “tradable” or in red saying “non tradable”, “bound to account” or even “binds when obtained”. If it says tradable or bound to account, it means you can store this item type in your account storage and then access them on another character. Do check status of all items to know whether they can be accessed from another account or not.

Once your main is level 50, geared and you have access to your stronghold & a level 10 alt (you should reach level 10 after the prologue), you will be able to access a quest to do the knowledge transfer between your main and the alt you choose, to get that alt from level 10 to level 50 in 8 hours with the story of the first continent completed, and all that only for 600 gold.

These are the major reasons as to why you should have alt accounts in the game.
