Bronze Buckler One-handed

Bronze Buckler is crafted at Forge from Bronze x10, Wood x4, Bronze x1.

They are listed above, at every quality level Bronze Buckler reaches. Some of those figures come from Valheim's own item tooltip; the rest — reach, swing arc, combo length, what the secondary attack multiplies — are read from the game files, because the tooltip never shows them.

Bronze Buckler blocks 16–28, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 2.5. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.

Bronze Buckler changes your movement speed by -5%. Valheim adds that figure up across everything equipped — both hands, all four armour slots, the utility slot and the trinket — so a heavy set with a shield reaches a number you can feel, and it applies to the stamina that running and jumping drain as well as to speed.

Bronze Buckler has 200–300 durability, and can be repaired for free at a crafting station that covers it — repairing costs nothing but the trip, so there is never a reason to carry a worn one home.

It upgrades to quality 3, and the table above lists every level with its own numbers and the exact materials that level costs, so you can see what the next step actually buys before you spend on it.
