Mead

**Mead** refers to items which can be consumed for temporary health and stamina boosts as well as preventing harmful status effects. Mead must first be crafted into a mead base at a Cauldron and then fermented using a Fermenter.

Dehydration is not possible, but mead is helpful when faced with inescapable effects which can eventually result in death. Before acquiring the Wolf fur or Lox cape, consuming a Frost resistance mead is essential to progressing in the Mountains. Mead can be consumed with or without a tankard, Dvergr tankard or a Horn of Celebration.

## List of mead

As listed below, *duration* refers to the length of time over which the mead provides its effect, whereas *cooldown* is the length of time during which a player cannot drink another mead of the same type. Unless otherwise listed, each type of mead weighs 1.0 and stacks to 10.

## Notes

* See Cauldron for a table of dishes and the required Cauldron level. Cauldron levels were introduced in Hearth and Home.
Metal

A category of resource used to create weapons, armour, and furniture, different kinds of metals can be smelted from various Ores and Scraps.

Unlike most items the player can carry, Metals in both their processed and unprocessed forms cannot be transported through portals. The player must resort to carrying these resources by Hand, Cart, or Ship.

### Transportation Methods

Many of these methods can be combined. Using a Cart as well as world hopping can make the process of gathering metals significantly less labour intensive.

#### Ship

A Ship can be used to extend the player's inventory, and allow for longer resource gathering trips.

#### Cart

Acting as an extended inventory, the Cart can allow you to make longer trips before having to deposit your resources back at your base.

#### Player Inventory

Simply requires having as much as you can carry in the player's inventory and then running between locations. The stamina boosting reward from defeating Eikthyr can help speed this up.

#### World Hopping

Whilst metals do not travel with the player through teleports, they will travel with the player between worlds. As a result of this it is possible to quickly transport large amounts of these heavy resources without the need to spend hours traversing the world.

This methods requires 2 worlds. and is most effective when one world has a portal between the two places you wish to transport metals between. The second world will require a chest for you to use as an intermediate holding place.

1. Begin by gathering as much metal as you required
2. Log out of the world you are mining on, and log into your second (holding) world
3. Deposit all resources you wish to transport
4. log out of the holding world and log back into your primary world
5. Travel (by portal) to the location you wish to have the ores
6. Log back into the holding world and collect all the ores
7. Log back into the primary world at your desired location.
8. If you mention this method in the Valheim discord, people will get really mad.
Root (item)

This article is about an item. For other uses, see Root.

## Root

An old root from an ancient tree stump. It feels both flexible and durable at the same time.

## Properties

### Teleportable

Yes

Roots are items dropped by Abominations in Swamps and are used to craft the Root Set.

## Usage

* **Crafting:**
	+ Arbalest
	+ Root leggings
	+ Root mask
	+ Root harnesk
Misthare supreme

* Cooked
* Uncooked

One of life's Great Pleasures.

Ready for the oven.

**Misthare supreme** is a Mistlands-tier food, which gives the highest maximum Health increase (85) of any food available. It is cooked from Uncooked misthare supreme in a Stone Oven.

## Availability

* Uncooked misthare supreme is produced in a level 5 Cauldron from Jotun puffs, Carrot, and Hare meat.
* Misthare supreme is produced by cooking Uncooked misthare supreme in a Stone Oven for 50s. If left in the oven for 100s, it will burn into Coal.

## Notes

* This dish is both powerful and efficient - requiring only farmable Jotun puffs and Carrots means that all the player must leave their base for is to hunt Hares, which can also be trapped.

Resting Effect

You are currently resting, health and stamina regeneration is significantly higher.

### Effects

Health regen +200%
Stamina regen +300%

The **Resting Effect** is an effect in *Valheim*.

## General information

The **Resting Effect** is applied when there are no hostile creatures nearby and the player is sitting near a fire, or while under the fire effect and shelter effect simultaneously. The resting effect cannot be applied if the player is wet or burning (Sitting in a hot tub is the only exception).

After 20 uninterrupted seconds with the resting effect, the player will receive the rested effect. The comfort level of the surroundings will determine the length of the rested bonus provided, with the rested length being 7 minutes greater than the comfort level (e.g comfort 3 provides 10 minutes of the rested bonus). Note that the resting effect may be reset if a hostile creature approaches, the fire goes out, or in large buildings where the fire radius may not reach all corners of the building.
Poison

## General information

Poison is a negative status effect that applies a damage overtime effect on the affected entity.

Poison is caused by Poison damage.

Duration from total damage is calculated with

f
l
o
o
r
(
1

X

d
a
m
a
g
e

)

{\displaystyle floor(1 +\sqrt{X}\sqrt{damage})}

where X is 5 against players and 1 against enemies. This means Poison lasts ~100% longer on players which halves the tick damage.

Tick damage is calculated with

t
o
t
a
l

d
a
m
a
g
e

d
u
r

t
i
o
n

{\displaystyle {total \ damage \over duration}}

.

In some random cases the number of ticks is increased by one. When this happens, the per Tick damage calculation still uses the correct duration, but the number of ticks applied to the player is increased by one.

Poison deals Pure damage. Armor and poison resistance indirectly affect the effect by reducing Poison damage. This means that using Poison resistance mead doesn't help against already acquired effects.

Mead base: Medium stamina

Needs to be fermented.

**Mead base: Medium stamina** is a craftable mead base.

## Availability

* Cooked at a Cauldron. This recipe is unlocked once all the components have been gathered and a Cauldron has been built.

## Uses

Mead base: Medium stamina is used to create Medium stamina mead in the Fermenter. This mead base needs to be placed in a Fermenter for 2 Days to create 6 Medium stamina mead.

## Recipe

* 10 Honey
* 10 Cloudberries
* 10 Yellow mushroom

Cauldron improvement

Cauldron improvement

The **Pots and pans** is used as an upgrade for the cauldron. It will typically be the third upgrade for the cauldron due to its high metal cost.

## Usage

### Level 4 Cauldron items include

* Blood pudding
* Fish wraps
* Uncooked Lox Pie - introduced in Hearth and Home.
* Bread dough - introduced in Hearth and Home.
	+ both items require a Stone Oven to cook.
* For other upgrades, see Cauldron.

## Trivia

* The Pots and pans was introduced in the Hearth and Home update on September 16th, 2021.
Misty fishing bait

A bait to guide the fish to you through shrouded waters.

**Misty fishing bait** is one of the fishing Baits added in the Mistlands update. It can be used to catch Pufferfish and Anglerfish in Mistlands.

It can be attached to the Fishing rod by right-clicking this bait in the inventory.

 1 **Misty fishing bait** is removed from inventory when the fishing line is cast. Bait is consumed when a fish is hooked (irrespective of whether the fish is ultimately caught), and is permanently lost if the player unequips the fishing rod (including swapping to another equipped item) when the line is cast. Bait is saved when the player re-casts their line without a fish on the hook.
Odin Set

The **Odin Set** is a DLC armor set only available for the early supporters of Valheim via a Steam code sent out in an email from Iron Gate Studios to those who signed up for the Valheim Beta. It is the same tier as Rag Armor. Both sets are replaced by Leather armor.

The set of armor has two pieces which have repairing and initial crafting level at 1. Hood of Odin has a durability of 300 and Cape of Odin has a durability of 1500. They are crafted and upgraded at the Workbench:

 Cape of Odin |  | 1
4 Coal

Crafting the full set requires 20 Leather scraps and 8 Coal providing 2 armor total. Crafting the fully upgraded set requires 80 Leather scraps and 32 Coal providing 8 armor total.
Player base

Player base is an invisible area created around certain structures. The effects are:

* Prevents creatures from spawning (both hostile and passive). This also includes creatures from events.
* Prevents items from despawning after being 1 hour on the ground (unless under 2 meters of water).
* Allows events to trigger if the player has 3 player base structures within 40 meters.

The following structures have 20 meters of player base around them:

* Artisan table
* Bed
* Black forge
* Blast furnace
* Bonfire
* Campfire
* Charcoal kiln
* Dragon bed
* Eitr refinery
* Fermenter
* Forge
* Galdr table
* Hanging brazier
* Hearth
* Portal
* Sconce
* Smelter
* Spinning wheel
* Standing green-burning iron torch
* Standing blue-burning iron torch
* Standing Brazier
* Standing iron torch
* Standing wood torch
* Stonecutter
* Stone Oven
* Ward
* Windmill
* Workbench

## Notes

* Workbench radius can be used to check the covered area of a player base structure. Right click the hammer and select workbench. A white circle is displayed on the ground to show the build radius which is also 20 meters.
* Most player base structures are attacked on sight by hostile enemies that can path to them. Only exceptions are campfires, bonfires, and both kinds of brazier.
* Structures that can be lit such as campfires and torches still provide the player base effect when they aren't lit.
* For the goal of preventing spawns:
	+ Building workbenches is the easiest way to ensure there are no gaps because the effect radius is shown.
	+ Standing wood torch may be the cheapest option if a large area needs to be covered.
	+ Campfires are cheap, don't need to be protected from enemies, and they are small so they can be hidden from player view easier if that is desirable (such as terrain raised over it with a hoe).
* Player base has no effect on respawning of berries and other pickables.
Royal jelly

Jelly fit for kings & queens.

**Royal jelly** is a raw balanced Mistlands food which is used in various recipes.

## Availability

* Piles in the Infested Mines of the Mistlands biome
* Dropped by Seeker Brood, which is found in the Infested Mines of the Mistlands biome, as well as during the Mistlands's Events and boss fight.

## Usage

### Crafting

* Mead base: Major healing
* Seeker aspic
* Yggdrasil porridge

## Notes

* As of patch 0.213.4, all Royal Jelly piles in Infested Mines will respawn every 4 hours. Most of the piles have a permanent visual indicator on the ceiling above them (a hanging, dripping stalactite of royal jelly which is purely aesthetic) to indicate their location, so players can easily find where the piles are located in-between respawns.
	+ However, in versions of the game prior to 0.213.4, the pickable Royal Jelly piles in Infested Mines permanently disappeared once picked: any piles that were picked in versions prior to 0.213.4 are permanently gone and will never respawn.
* In addition to the respawning piles inside Infested Mines, there are two additional ways to encounter endless quantities of them:
	+ The Mistlands-specific Events, one of which spawns seeker broods. Note that both Mistlands events have specific biome requirements; in particular, neither can occur in the Meadows.
	+ The boss of the Mistlands is capable of spawning seeker broods indefinitely. To access her, players will need either a completed Sealbreaker or (if resummoning) a sacrifice of three Seeker soldier trophies.

## Notes

* Necks appear to be combination of a lizard and a frog due to the presence of lily pads on their bodies and their proclivity for hanging around marshy pond areas. This alludes to their mythological counterpart's nature as humanoid, shapeshifting water spirits.
* Necks are typically found near shorelines. Especially during rainy weather, necks may be present further inland.
* They seem to be capable of eating planted crops, such as onions. Beware when growing things where necks can spawn!

 Mini bosses
Magecap

The delicate blue magecaps crackle like nerve-endings with sorcerous vitality.

**Magecaps** are a type of Food.

## Availability

* Magecaps are gathered in the Mistlands.
* Using a Cultivator, they can be planted in cultivated soil in the Mistlands, which is the only biome they will grow in. Like Flax and Barley, it is planted directly rather than needing to farm seeds first. One cultivated Magecap will yield three Magecap.

## Usage

* Can be replanted to produce more Magecap using a Cultivator within the Mistlands.
* Can be eaten directly, although the Health and Stamina provided are far inferior to the other food items available in its tier.

### Crafting:

* Uncooked magically stuffed shroom
* Mead base: Minor eitr
* Seeker aspic

## Notes

* The Magecap is the first food available that increases the player's Eitr when consumed.
Ocean

The **Ocean** is a biome which is currently a large, empty body of water. It is only realistically accessible by boats, as swimming in it quickly depletes stamina causing drowning.

Players venturing into this biome may be occasionally attacked by a Serpent.

## Notes

* Creatures and boats destroyed in the water cause some of the loot or materials to drop or sink depending on weight. Examples of floating material include wood and trophies; while nails, pelts, coins, etc. sink to the bottom and can become unreachable. Player deaths in the Ocean biome generate a floating headstone, and boat inventory is stored in a floating crate.
* There is a simulation of low and high tide within the game on all coast and shore lines.
* According to the developer Roadmap, it will be expanded upon in a future update.

## Creatures

* Serpent
* Fish
* Leviathan
Mead base: Minor healing

Needs to be fermented.

**Mead base: Minor healing** is a craftable mead base.

## Availability

* Cooked at a Cauldron. This recipe is unlocked once all the components have been gathered and a Cauldron has been built.

## Uses

Mead base: Minor healing is used to create Minor healing mead in the Fermenter. This mead base needs to be placed in a Fermenter for 2 Days to create 6 Minor healing mead.

## Recipe

* 10 Honey
* 5 Blueberries
* 10 Raspberries
* 1 Dandelion

## See also

Coal

A lump of coal.

**Coal** is a fuel necessary to power Smelters and Blast furnaces while also being used by various crafting recipes.

## Availability

* Dropped by:
	+ Surtlings
	+ Random Chests
* Can be crafted:
	+ In Charcoal kilns using Wood, Core wood or Fine wood
	+ In Cooking stations by overcooking any type of meat
	+ In Obliterator, by converting items

## Usage

* **Crafting:**
	+ Cape of Odin
	+ Hood of Odin
	+ Mead base: Poison resistance

* **Building:**
	+ Black banner
	+ Coal pile
	+ Forge
	+ Hanging brazier
	+ Sign
	+ Standing brazier
	+ White banner
	+ Yellow banner

* **Refueling:**
	+ Smelter
	+ Blast furnace
	+ Hanging brazier
	+ Standing brazier

* **Smelting:**
	+ Copper
	+ Tin
	+ Iron
	+ Silver
	+ Black metal
	+ Flametal

## Notes

* The ratio for smelting any metals using Coal as a fuel is roughly 1 Metal for 2.1 Coal.
* It's possible to create "passive" Coal farms by venturing into the Swamp and digging Fire geysers down into the aquifer layer, making the Surtlings they spawn repeatedly take damage before dying and dropping their loot.
* The Ashlands are a great place to farm coal, which can be easily transported to to other locations using a Portal.
* By buying some bait and converting them in the Obliterator, you can turn 5 Coins into 1 **Coal**.
Burning

Applies damage over time

**Burning** is an effect in *Valheim*.

## General information

Burning is caused by taking Fire damage, for example by walking into a fire or getting hit by a fireball. Its duration is 5 seconds and ticks every second. Taking additional fire damage will stack damage on top of the current Burning effect and recalculate the tick damage. Tick damage can be calculated with:

t
o
t
a
l

d
a
m
a
g
e

d
u
r
a
t
i
o
n

{\displaystyle {total \ damage \over duration}}

Burning deals Pure damage. Armor and Fire resistance indirectly affect the effect by reducing Fire damage, however they don't affect already acquired effects.

### Notes:

* Burning expires 6x faster while being in water
* Wet expires ~60x faster while burning
* The player is unable to receive the resting effect while burning
* Standing on a Campfire with 26 armor won't cause burning, as the Fire damage is reduced to less than 1
Raspberries

Sweet and delicious.

**Raspberries** are often found along the edges of large open meadows.

Raspberries are valuable in both early game as a basic food item and in mid-late game as a necessary ingredient for the early-tier Queens jam and the Medium healing mead. Thus, gathering raspberries when encountered is usually a good idea.

## Availability

* Bushes in the Meadows biome
* Respawn after 300 minutes
* There is currently no way to replant berry bushes, and if they are destroyed they will not grow back.

## Usage

### Crafting

* Mead base: Medium healing
* Mead base: Minor healing
* Mead base: Minor stamina
* Mead base: Tasty
* Muckshake
* Queens jam

### Building

* Blue, red and white banner
* Cartography table

Maypole

* Icon
* Appearance

The **Maypole** is a seasonal structure that can be built exclusively during the midsummer season. It also can be found rarely in the middle of abandoned villages within the Meadows. Its sole purpose is to increase Comfort by 1.

## Availability

Maypoles generate during world generation. One or more can be found in a world. They will not respawn once destroyed.

In June Maypoles are made temporarily buildable to celebrate midsummer in Sweden and than unbuildable in October. Player-placed Maypoles function identically to the natural ones and remain in the world after the ability to place them was removed in later patches.
Ruby

Valuable

**Ruby** is a Valuable item.

## Availability

* Stone Grave and Viking Graveyard in the Meadows
* Burial Chambers in the Black Forest
* Sunken Crypts in the Swamp
* Loot chests inside Frost Caves in the Mountain
* Chests around the surface of *Valheim* that are placed inside various points of interest, like towers or ruined houses.

## Usage

* As a valuable, it can be sold to Haldor for  20 Coins.
* Can be used to craft a Treasure chest.
Serpent

**Serpents** are aggressive creatures found in Oceans, and currently the only hostile creature spawning in Oceans. They are large, aquatic snake-like reptilian creatures with six glowing eyes, spiked dorsal fins and a gaping mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth.

Serpents are hunted primarily for their meat, which can be used in mid-late game food.

### Spawning

## Gallery

A hostile SerpentA Serpent circling a RaftSerpent TrophyA captured Serpent in a fenced-off areaA defenseless serpent stuck on a longship
## Notes

* A Raft is generally too slow and too fragile for a solo player to survive a serpent attack. Because of serpent attacks, the minimum recommended setup for ocean exploration is a Karve with at least a Finewood bow.
* Only the serpents that are spawned in rainy conditions can be held in captivity. Serpents that spawn at night will despawn during the day.
* Serpents will attempt to flee back into the ocean if dragged inland.
* Serpent meat floats, but all other drops do not. Killing a serpent in deep water will result in the drops sinking to the bottom of the ocean and there is currently no way to dive to retrieve them. Therefore, an Abyssal harpoon can be used to drag the serpent to shallow water or even on land before it is killed, to collect the drops.

## Trivia

* The Serpent is likely based on Jörmungandr from Norse mythology, the giant sea serpent that roams the waters of Midgard.
* Upon release, serpent meat could be cooked on a cooking station. Now, the Iron cooking station is required to cook serpent meat.
* The developer Road Map suggests that other hostile creatures may be added in the Ocean.

 Mini bosses
Poison arrow

A bitter sting from afar.

* 1

## Availability

* Crafted at a workbench
* Ooze is found within the Swamp biome by killing Blobs & Oozers
* Obsidian can be found within the Mountain biome
* Poison arrows can occasionally be found in chests inside Sunken Crypts in the Swamp biome

## Features

* Deals damage divided between Poison and pierce damage
* Applies the poison DOT effect
* The poison effect stacks with that of the Draugr fang
Medium healing mead

Restores health.

**Medium healing mead** is a craftable mead.

A potion made with the Fermenter from a Mead base: Medium healing. It restores 75 health over 10 seconds.

Upon consumption a 2-min cooldown is applied preventing consumption of another healing mead.

Obliterator

* Icon

**Obliterators** are buildable structures that convert any item to Coal.

## Usage

Put gifts to Thor into the obliterator and pull the lever on the right side, giving you coal in return.

When activated, lightning strikes above the obliterator dealing 400 Lightning damage and additional 10 Lightning damage within 2.42 meters.

## Conversion rates

To get 1 coal, insert:

* 1 Trophy (including boss trophies).
* 5 Ancient bark, Core wood, Fine wood or Wood
* 20 Arrows
* 10 of other items (including coal)

## Gallery

If obliterator is empty, frown message is shown, and obliterator doesn't activate.If obliterator produces no coal, obliterated message is shown.If obliterator produces coal, gift message is shown.
## Notes

* The Obliterator can be placed anywhere on a flat surface and does not degrade due to rain.
* The Obliterator generates its own lightning bolt and does not require a thunderstorm to operate.
* Wood and meats can be converted to coal at a 1:1 conversion rate using a Charcoal kiln or cooking station, making it resource-inefficient to place these in the Obliterator.
Sealed tower

**Sealed towers** are open dungeons found in Plains. Contrary to other dungeons, sealed towers take place in the Overworld and do not need a loading screen to enter.

## Description

The tower is made of unbreakable black stone, some sealed windows, arrow slits and wood panels. There are also some kind of open balconies that can be used as entrances.

The real entrance is located at the roof of the tower and is heavily guarded.

Once inside, there are five floors.
The first four floors (from top to bottom) are very similar, they will be heavily guarded by fulings, fuling shamans and full of traps, often hidden under straw piles. Some chests can also be found.

The last floor contains the minibosses Zil & Thungr and two chests.

## Notes

* This special dungeon with its special miniboss can be obtained at Hildirs map table.

Leviathan

* 0★
* Trophy

* 0★

**Leviathans** are passive creatures found in Oceans. They are massive rock-type beings that have a 25% chance of submerging each time their Abyssal barnacles are damaged.

### Spawning

Leviathans are spawned upon world generation and do not respawn once they have retreated below the depths of the ocean.

They have 1% chance of appearing on each full Ocean zone and require at least 30 meters depth.

## Strategy

> *See: Passive Creature Strategies*
>
>

## Notes

* As Chitin is primarily obtained from their barnacles, the only way to obtain additional Chitin after all of a world's Leviathans have been mined for it is by fishing using Heavy fishing bait. Chitin can be endlessly obtained this way, although the required bait can be difficult to obtain.

## Trivia

* The Leviathan in Valheim is based on the Hafgufa from Norse Mythology, and the game is faithful to their original appearance as a large creature that was mistaken for an island. The island is only its shell while the rest of the Hafgufa resides below.
* The *actual* Leviathan is more akin to Valheim's Serpent.
* During night time, its two glowing eyes can be seen underwater.
* Their underside lacks any distinct features and detail. This is likely intended from a development standpoint because players are only supposed to see the top part of them that is visible above water.

 Mini bosses
Lox saddle

* Icon

Use on a Lox to be able to ride it.

**Lox saddle** is a craftable item.

Lox saddle grants the ability to ride tamed Lox. To attach, simply put the saddle on the hotbar then activate while aimed at a tamed Lox. The saddle can then be "teleported" to, like a boat rudder by pressing the "Use"-key (E by default). The saddle can be removed from the Lox by pressing Left-Shift + E.
Serpent trophy

The scales have dulled but the eyes are still bright.

**Serpent Trophies** are an uncommon drop from Serpents.

## Notes

* The Serpent Trophy is mostly decorative, but it can be used in a cauldron crafting recipe to make the Heavy fishing bait. That bait represents the final tier of bait progression and allows you to catch Coral cod.
	+ Can be displayed in an item stand.
	+ Can be used to program Balistas.
* When dropped it will sink to the bottom of the ocean, so it is best to kill a Serpent on land by dragging it with the Abyssal harpoon.
* Trophies dropped before the 2021-03-17 0.148 patch weren't stackable, and trying to create a stack would leave one with a single trophy. Such trophies currently show as stacks of 0/20.

## Trivia

* A full stack of serpent trophies is the heaviest single-storage-space weight in Valheim, at 500 weight units.
Mistwalker

The faint glow seems to slice through the mist.

* 1
* 2
* 3
* 4

The Mistwalker is the fifth sword.

* Primary attack is a 3-hit combo with double damage on the last hit. No damage penalty against multiple targets.
* Secondary attack deals 3x damage with a slightly longer reach.

The Mistwalker is capable of dispelling the mist in the Mistlands, though in a noticeably smaller radius than a Wisplight or Wisp torch.

## Notes

* The blade of the Mistwalker is constantly enshrouded in mist and also glows faintly bluish-white at all times. It is a bit dimmer than most proper light sources, but can provide some light in the dark.
	+ The glow effect also makes players slightly easier to detect while sneaking, increasing the visibility of its holder by approximately 20%.
Mead base: Minor eitr

Needs to be fermented.

**Mead base: Minor eitr** is a craftable mead base.

## Availability

* Cooked at a Cauldron. This recipe is unlocked once all the components have been gathered and a Cauldron has been built.

## Uses

Mead base: Minor eitr is used to create Minor eitr mead in the Fermenter. This mead base needs to be placed in a Fermenter for 2 Days to create 6 Minor eitr mead.

## Recipe

* 10 Honey
* 5 Sap

Personal chest

* Icon

The **Personal chest** has 6 item slots and is accessible only to its owner.

## Tips

* Since only the owner of the chest can destroy it with a Hammer, the only other way to remove a Personal Chest is to destroy it with an axe.
* Even a Blackmetal Axe can take up to 3 minutes to destroy a fully repaired personal chest due to the high durability.
Serpent scale shield

A sturdy shield of overlapping scales.

* 1
* 2
* 3

The **serpent scale shield** is the fourth tower shield.

It has the same block armor compared to Silver shield but provides Pierce resistance when blocking. It requires less Iron to craft compared to Iron tower shield while also having more block power, less movement speed reduction and dodge roll cost increase.

As a tower shield, it can't be used to parry enemy attacks.

## Upgrade information

 Durability
 Crafting

## Notes

* Block armor is equivalent to a Silver tier weapon, while only requiring Iron to craft.
* Tower shields are generally weaker than round shields because of parrying. However, the serpent scale shield provides a more reliable way to block high amounts of damage if crafted when Iron becomes available.
Serpent stew

Smells of honey and serpent...

**Serpent stew** is a food which gives one of the highest Health increases (80) in the game, tied with Meat platter and Honey glazed chicken, but below Misthare supreme (85).

As of the Hearth & Home update, to cook the serpent stew it is required to have a cauldron with at least 1 upgrade, such as the spice rack (which is normally the easiest one to craft).

## Notes

* Serpent stew provides less Health and Stamina than Misthare supreme, but lasts 5 minutes longer. Serpent stew also shares its stats with two other dishes (Meat platter and Honey glazed chicken), except for having slightly inferior healing (4 hp/tick) than the other two (5 hp/tick).

Magic Barrier

A magical shield that absorbs damage

**Magic Barrier** is an effect in *Valheim*.

## General information

Magic Barrier is a positive status effect that surrounds the affected entity in a spherical barrier. This barrier lasts for a certain amount of time, and while active it can absorb up to a fixed amount of damage. Once this damage limit is exceeded, the barrier breaks, which also removes the status effect.

The effect is acquired from a player using the Staff of protection, which can apply it to the caster and to other allied players and tamed creatures within a small radius of its use.The duration of the effect is between 60 to 120 seconds, as determined by the quality of the staff. The amount of damage that the barrier can absorb is a certain fixed amount between 200 and 700 damage, and is determined entirely by the caster's Blood magic skill level; see that page for more details.

Odin

**Odin** is a character found in Valheim. He is a mysterious black cloaked figure with a single glowing blue eye, holding a walking stick in his right hand. A faint blue aura persists around him as long as he remains.

## Biography

Nothing is known about Odin, however, he is heavily implied to be the Nordic deity that is heavily referenced in *Valheim*'s lore. His appearance in Norse mythology is often described as man with long beard, a spear, and a single eye.

According to Norse mythology, when Odin wants to travel unnoticed through realms of Yggdrasil, he typically disguises himself as a cloaked traveler carrying a walking stick. It is implied that he appears from time to time to observe the progress of the player through the world of Valheim.

Odin is also known in Norse mythology to use ravens as his spies and couriers. Hugin, the raven guiding slain Vikings through their first steps in Valheim, is one of the two named ravens that were Odin's spies in Norse mythology.

## Location

Odin will occasionally appear at random from a distance briefly before disappearing entirely. Should the player get too close to Odin, he will also disappear prematurely into a blue aura of smoke.

## Notes

* In-game lore regarding Odin describes him as taking on the form of an old man leaning on a stick. However, the lore also describes him as wearing a wide-brimmed traveler's hat, whereas as the Odin in-game wears a hood that obscures his face.
* Using the console command "spawn odin" the figure will briefly appear in front of the character before vanishing.
* He will despawn after 300 seconds, if any player gets within 20 meters or if all players are more than 50 meters away.
* Odin does not take damage of any kind from the player or aggressive creatures.
* Odin is a solid and proper entity, if he spawns on slippery terrain, he will slide.

Repair Shack

The Repair Shack is a nickname for a quickly built shack that you can repair basic weapons in.

In order to craft this shack you need a hammer and 26 wood. First, place down a workbench on a flat piece of land. Then, starting on the left side, place a wall, then another wall perpendicular to that one, followed by a third wall connected to the one you just placed. Lastly, place the fourth wall around the right side of the workbench as shown in the image below.

This shack is not complete, however. In order to access your workbench it must be enclosed and under a roof. Place two 26 degree roofs on the double wall on the back side of the workbench facing towards you. Then, connect 26 degree triangle walls between the roofs and the walls on the left and right side of the shack, as shown in the image below. The triangle walls are not necessary for the workbench to be considered sheltered, but are a nice aesthetic touch. If you don't have enough wood or are in a hurry, just the four surrounding walls and the two roof segments are enough.

Congratulations! You have now built a small repair shack that can repair your basic weapons and armor. Don't worry, repairing is free of charge. Good luck out there Vikings!

Megingjord

* Icon

Gives the wearer superhuman strength.

The **Megingjord** is a belt that can be purchased from Haldor.

## Usage

The belt grants the player superhuman strength, allowing them to carry 150 more weight when equipped. This is represented as an effect on the character.

It is equipped in the accessory slot, and thus allows players to wear a full set of armor in addition to the belt. The Megingjord conflicts with the Wishbone and the Wisplight, which occupies the same equipment slot.

## Notes

* The belt is a direct reference to Megingjörð, the belt of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. In mythos, the belt shares the same capabilities as the one in-game, granting the user superhuman strength.
* When equipped, a message will appear for the player stating "You feel Stronger".

Magic

Magic is a combat mechanic that appeared with the Mistlands update.

It brought a completely different way of fighting than the traditional melee/range styles.

## Magic weapons

The magic mechanic revolves around magic weapons *(not to be confused with "elemental" weapons, which cause elemental damage such as fire, frost or poison)* . As of the Mistlands update, four new magic weapons have been introduced:

* Staff of embers
* Staff of frost
* Staff of protection
* Dead raiser

## Functioning

A magical weapon needs Eitr to be used. If the player tries to use a magical weapon without having an Eitr bar, the message "Eitr required" will be displayed. Each weapon has its own effect that range from offensive to defensive, to summoning tamed skeletons to fight for the caster.

## Types of magic

There are currently two types of magic: Elemental magic and Blood magic. Each type has its own associated skill, which determines not only how much damage weapons of that type deal (either directly or indirectly), but also the amount of Eitr used to cast magic of that type. Blood magic drains percentage of the user's Health (*current* health, *not* maximum health) to cast, and the amount drained is also determined by skill level.
Wisplight

* Icon

A bound wisp to guide you through the thickest of mists.

* 1

The **Wisplight** is an accessory made of Silver and Wisp at a Workbench. It is unlocked after acquiring a Wisp for the first time.

## Usage

The light allows the player to see through the mist surrounding parts of the Mistlands.

It is equipped in the accessory slot, and thus allows players to wear a full set of armor in addition to the light. The Wisplight conflicts with the Megingjord and the Wishbone, which occupy the same equipment slot.

## Notes

* When equipped, the message "You release the bound wisp" will appear.
* The mist is also cleared by Wisp torches, the Mistwalker, and some Dvergr structures.
	+ Using the Mistwalker to clear the mist allows you to temporarily wear the Megingjord to transport Iron and Copper scrap. Its range is much less than the Wisplight, so this tactic shouldn't be used unless the extra carry weight is needed.
Sleeping

Sleeping requires a Bed and can only be done at night, which will progress the Day and Night Cycle to the start of the next day (morning).

Dreams may occur while the player sleeps in a bed or dragon bed. Available dreams include 17 standard dreams and 1 boss dream for the next boss.

The sleeping first selects a random available dream and then checks the random chance which results in a 47.77% chance to see a dream. 1.16% of the dreams are boss dreams which means a 0.55% chance to see a boss dream when sleeping.

Mushroom

Bounty of the forest.

**Mushroom** can be found on the ground in the Meadows, Black Forest and Swamp. Picked mushrooms will respawn after 240 minutes at the same place that they were picked. Unlike the case with raspberries and blueberries, which do not return if the plant itself is removed, mushrooms will return if the ground is cleared or even excavated.

Mushrooms are almost negligible as a food, but they are a vital component of some of the best recipes in the later game, as well as being food for tame boars. Since they cannot be cultivated, and do not grow in large numbers at any one place, it is prudent to save some of them from early in the game for later use.

## Usage

* **Crafting:**
	+ Carrot soup
	+ Serpent stew
	+ Wolf skewer
* **Building:**
	+ Spice rack
* **Eating:**
	+ Gives 1.7 health / 7 seconds
* **Taming:**
	+ Can be fed to hungry boars to either begin or continue the taming process, or to allow reproduction.
Player character

* Female
* Male

The **player character** is the character created and controlled by the player in *Valheim*.

## Biography

Whilst little is known about whom they were prior to entry into the 10th realm there certainly is room for speculation.

The Player Character is only one amongst an unknown number of souls sent to the 10th realm and instructed to battle the Forsaken, as shown evident by the countless of ruins and villages found throughout the 10th realm, many have come before them and many will most likely come after.

Since it is unknown wether the Forsaken can truly die or not, the player character could be seen as a form of jailor.

 Mini bosses
Pine cone

Plant them to grow a Pine.

**Pine Cones** drop by cutting down pines. They can be planted using the Cultivator to produce new Pine trees. Once planted, the seeds take a few in-game days to grow to full size. Seedlings require a small amount of space directly around where they are planted; if they do not have enough space they will not grow into full trees.

## Usage

* **Building:**
	+ Yule garland
	+ Yule wreath
