1. Types of wood in Valheim
The most common pieces of wood. One of the resources available from the very beginning of the game. It is used both in crafting (even a workbench is not needed to create several items from wood), and in construction.
All wood in the game is divided into several varieties:
- ordinary wood;
- solid wood;
- quality wood;
- ancient bark.
ordinary wood
Ordinary wood is a resource available to players from the very start of the game.
The main sources of its receipt:
- Branches. They just lie on the ground. Pick them up so that several pieces of wood appear in your inventory;
- Cutting trees and logs. Requires a special tool - an ax. To begin with, an ordinary, stone one is suitable, but later it is recommended to make the tool stronger;
- Gradewarf killing. These monsters drop some wood at a certain chance;
- Destruction of abandoned buildings. If you break down an abandoned house, a barn, a wooden tower, etc., you can collect a lot of wood.
solid wood
Solid wood is a material obtained by felling pine trees. This tree can be found in the Black Forest location or grown on your own plot (requires a pinecone and a rower).
To cut down a pine tree and get solid wood, you need to make a stone ax or a better tool.
quality wood
High-quality wood can be obtained by cutting birches and oaks. Moreover, much more material falls from oaks than from pines. These trees, a source of quality timber, grow in biomes such as Grasslands and Plains.
Note: if your the character is badly dressed, but you need quality wood, try to look for it only in the Meadows. Dangerous enemies await the hero on the Plains.
ancient bark
Ancient bark is a material that is primarily used to make weapons. She is also included in the list of resources needed to build a drakkar.
There are several ways to get ancient bark:
- exploring the dungeons Sunken Crypts;
- cutting down old trees in the Swamps.

What is the best ax to cut down trees in Valheim?
To farm a lot of wood, you need a tool - an ax. There are several types of axes in the game:
- stone;
- bronze;
- iron;
- flint;
- black metal axe.
The difference between them is only in characteristics and strength. For comparison, below we will show the parameters of a stone ax and a black metal ax.
It is also worth noting that the better the tool, the easier it is to cut trees and extract wood with it. However, in some cases it is quite possible to do without it. For instance, at the start of the game, you can collect wood for construction and crafting manually - pick up branches from the ground or break thin beech trees with your fists.
However, large trees (birch, oak, pine, etc.), stumps or fallen trunks cannot be broken by hand. You need to have at least a stone ax in your inventory.
If you are going to farm ancient bark by destroying old trees, you will need to craft a bronze ax or better tool.
