This last upgrade also requires gathering Obsidian, which is only found in the Mountain biome. To unlock it, you'll need to build a Tool Shelf, which goes on the wall near the Workbench, so make sure you've left enough space in your building to place one. The final upgrade for the Workbench doesn't unlock much in the way of new items, but it is essential to keep upgrading your various other items and tools.


After this upgrade, you'll move on to making metal armor at a Forge, but don't sleep on Troll Hide, which can be very helpful in dealing with the Black Forest and starting to venture into Swamps. The Tanning Rack is the last major upgrade to your Workbench for making armor. Unlocks: Troll Hide armor, Obsidian arrows.Cost: 10 Wood, 15 Flint, 5 Deer Hide, 20 Leather Scraps.

Find good places to keep your Workbench improvements as long as their within a certain radius, they'll work with your bench (so maybe don't leave them in the way like we did). That's something you should keep in mind if you make multiple benches-it's usually good to bring them up to Level 2 so you have more convenient locations for making arrows. A Level 2 bench gets you a lot of items and while you'll need to upgrade to reach higher-tier gear, a lot of the stuff you'll use for most of the game requires a Chopping Block. You'll need this upgrade to get better armor and a few key weapons-including new arrow types. The ability to create a Chopping Block unlocks once you find Flint, which you can snag near water.

You can also use any Workbench to repair anything can you craft from it, free of charge-so don't go building a bunch of extra axes or bows once the durability of one runs out. Once you've crafted a Workbench, you can make all sorts of critical things, including a bed that will allow you to set a new respawn point, a bonfire that will allow you to get the critical Rested bonus, and a cooking station to make food. Then again, you can always bust everything up and move it around with your Hammer, since Valheim refunds all construction materials when you disassemble something from the Build menu. If you're planning to build a bigger base, you might want to think a little more critically about where you want your Workbench, and the building that will surround it, to be. It's pretty easy to throw up three walls and a thatch roof to create a quick tool shed around a Workbench, and in a pinch this will do. With the Workbench built, however, your Hammer will gain the ability to construct building pieces from wood. In order to make anything at the bench, you need to build a roof over it, which can be an annoying extra step. But you can't actually craft anything at the Workbench right away, which means you can't use it to make new weapons or armor right after you make it. There are a few things you should keep in mind before you grab 10 pieces of wood and throw down your bench in any old spot, however.įirst, having a Workbench automatically augments your hammer, allowing you to build new stuff-so just having a Workbench is an improvement you need to make. You can craft a couple of tools out of sticks and rocks when you first start Valheim, but in order to make just about anything else, you'll need to build a Workbench. Unlocks: Buildings, bonfire, bed, crafting stations, rag armor, wood weapons, wood shields, Antler Pickaxe, hoe, tankard.Now Playing: The Valheim Viking Guide For Beginners Workbench Level 1 By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
