Where to find Ancient Bark
Swamp Tree
MinedSwampThese are the odds of a single pick landing on each drop, not how much the node yields in total — the number of picks a node is worth is not in the game files.
Also from breakable objects
Furniture, barrels, crates and other props that drop it when destroyed. These only exist inside built locations, so world generation gives them no biome of their own.
Where Ancient Bark generates in the world
- Swamp: 2,000 m to 6,000 m from the centre of the world
Height above sea level
-0.5 m above sea level and higher
Every Valheim world is generated from its seed, so no page can say where anything is. What is fixed for every seed is the conditions above: the ring a biome is confined to, and the ground a node will accept.
