Weapon and armour tier lists by progression stage, upgrade costs, and which Forsaken Power pairs with which loadout.
Every Valheim bow and crossbow with base pierce damage, crafting station and progression tier — plus arrow damage, so you can pick the best ranged weapon for your biome.
Block Armor cuts the damage you take while blocking; Block Force is the knockback you shove back at the attacker. How both stats work, the stagger bar, and every shield compared.
How Valheim moulds and casts work, with every mould item grouped by the gear it produces — metal, armor and weapon casting in 1.0.
The Iron Pickaxe is the one that unlocks silver; the Black Metal Pickaxe mines every ore in 1.0 including Mistlands, Ashlands and Deep North rock. Full tier list of pickaxes and axes, and what each one unlocks.
The Deep North Protector set is the armor ceiling in Valheim 1.0, with Ashlands Flametal just below it; Carapace and Padded are the mid-game benchmarks. All 18 sets by biome and tier, plus light vs heavy tradeoffs.
Draugr Fang is the best all-round bow in Valheim 1.0 — its innate poison means arrow choice matters less. Full progression Crude → Finewood → Huntsman → Draugr Fang → Arbalest, plus all 12 arrow types and what each one is for.
Bucklers parry for 2.5× damage but block the least (Bronze 16/28); round shields parry 1.5×; tower shields block the most (Wood tower 10/22) and cannot parry at all. Full block armor and parry bonus table by tier.
Every cape grants 1/2/3/4 armor by quality. Wolf Fur and Lox capes grant frost resistance (0.5x); resistance sources and how to survive Mountains and Ashlands.
Valheim damage types: blunt, slash, pierce, fire, frost, poison, spirit, lightning. Multipliers run Very Weak 2.0x, Weak 1.5x, Neutral 1.0x, Resistant 0.5x, Very Resistant 0.25x.
Every Valheim mead: fire, frost and poison resistance (10m duration, 10m cooldown), healing (minor 50, medium 75), stamina, eitr, Lightfoot and Berserkir, with base recipes.
Every Forsaken Power in Valheim: unlock at Sacrificial Stones, what each boss buff does, which power to set before each fight or crossing.
Forsaken Power pairings: Eikthyr (stamina), Elder (wood+health), Bonemass (block), Moder (sail), Yagluth (damage), Queen (eitr), Fader (adrenaline).
Valheim magic in the Mistlands: Eitr resource, Galdr Table, all staves (Embers/Frost/Fracturing/Wild/Dundr/Protection), Eitr-weave and Embla robes.
How Valheim food works — the three food slots, health/stamina/eitr buffs, cooking stations, the best meals by biome and what every mead does.
Which Valheim weapon to craft in each biome, from the Meadows club to the Ashlands gem weapons — ranked by how long a weapon stays worth its materials.
