Valheim Merchant Locations and Inventories: A Comprehensive Guide

Valheim's challenging world becomes significantly easier with the help of its merchants. This guide details the locations and inventories of all three merchants, providing essential information for your Viking adventures. Finding them can be tricky due to the game's procedural generation, but this guide offers strategies to locate each trader efficiently.

Finding Valheim's Merchants: Strategies and Tips

Valheim's merchants are scattered across different biomes, each presenting unique challenges to find. While exploration is key, utilizing tools like the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) can significantly speed up the process by revealing merchant locations based on your world seed.

Remember, once you locate a merchant, their position remains fixed within your world. Building a portal nearby is highly recommended for easy access.

Haldor: The Black Forest Merchant

Haldor, located in the Black Forest, is generally the easiest merchant to find. He spawns within a 1500m radius of the world's center. He's often found near The Elder's spawn point, identifiable by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers. However, the Valheim World Generator provides a more direct route to his location. Once found, build a portal for convenient return trips. Gold is the currency; sell gems (Rubies, Amber Pearls, Silver Necklaces, etc.) to acquire it.

Haldor's Inventory:

Item Cost (Coins) Availability Use
Yule Hat 100 Always Cosmetic (helmet slot)
Dverger Circlet 620 Always Provides light
Megingjord 950 Always +150 Inventory Weight
Fishing Rod 350 Always Fishing
Fishing Bait (20) 10 Always Fishing Rod consumable
Barrel Hoops (3) 100 Always Barrel construction material
Ymir Flesh 120 Post-Elder Crafting material
Thunder Stone 50 Post-Elder Obliterator construction material

Hildir: The Meadows Merchant

Hildir resides in the Meadows biome, but her spawn location is significantly further from the world center (3000-5100m radius). The Valheim World Generator is highly recommended. Look for a T-shirt icon on your map when you're within 300-400m. She offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and unique quests. Completing these quests (retrieving chests from various biomes) unlocks additional items in her shop.

Hildir's Inventory:

(Note: A significant portion of Hildir's inventory is unlocked through quest completion. Only the always-available items are listed below. The full inventory is too extensive for this summary.)

Item Cost (Coins) Availability Use
Simple Dress Natural 250 Always -20% Stamina Use
Simple Tunic Natural 250 Always -20% Stamina Use
Simple Cap Red 150 Always -15% Stamina Use
Simple Cap Purple 150 Always -15% Stamina Use

The Bog Witch: The Swamp Merchant

The Bog Witch, found in the challenging Swamp biome, spawns between 3000m and 8000m from the world center. Her location is marked by a Cauldron icon. She offers unique items for cooking and mead crafting. Her hut provides comfort level 3.

The Bog Witch's Inventory:

(Note: A significant portion of the Bog Witch's inventory unlocks after defeating various bosses. Only the always-available items are listed below. The full inventory is too extensive for this summary.)

Item Cost (Coins) Availability Use
