Placement rules
The game checks one thing before it lets Blue Banner go down, and it tells you none of them — it just refuses and turns the ghost red.
- Cannot sit on a floor piece; it needs real ground.
Blue Banner belongs to the Furniture category and costs Leather Scraps ×6, Finewood ×2, Blueberries ×4. Valheim never states the rules that decide whether a piece will place, so they are read from the game files here: the surface it needs, the water it cannot touch, and whether it must have something above it. Those are what turn a red ghost back to blue.

How to build Blue Banner
What do you need to build Blue Banner in Valheim?
Leather Scraps ×6, Finewood ×2, Blueberries ×4. Materials have to be inside the build radius of the station, not just in your inventory, which is the usual reason a piece stays greyed out with everything apparently to hand.
What station does Blue Banner need?
A Workbench, and you have to be standing inside its build radius. Moving the station or adding another one is what extends where you can build, not upgrading it.
Why will Blue Banner not place in Valheim?
Because of the rule listed above. The game gives no reason when a ghost turns red; it is always one of those, and the surface is the usual culprit.
How much comfort does Blue Banner give?
1. Comfort does not stack within a group, so a second one of these adds nothing — the comfort page ranks what actually combines.
How much health does Blue Banner have?
50. That is structural health, separate from any durability an item has — it is what a raid, a fire or your own hammer has to chew through.
Does Blue Banner decay or need a roof?
It is worn down by rain, fire, ash rain, snow. A piece under a roof and connected to the ground through supporting pieces keeps its full health; one left exposed loses health until it breaks.
