Carapace Spear FAQ
How do you get Carapace Spear in Valheim?
Carapace Spear is crafted at Black Forge from Yggdrasil Wood x10, Carapace x4, Mandible x2, Black Marble x1.
What are the stats of Carapace Spear in Valheim?
They are listed above, at every quality level Carapace Spear 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.
How much stamina does Carapace Spear use per swing?
A swing of Carapace Spear costs 16 stamina, with a reach of 1.9 m. Stamina is what actually decides a fight in Valheim rather than raw damage: your food sets the pool, and a weapon that costs less per swing keeps you attacking where a heavier one leaves you standing still waiting to recover.
How much damage does Carapace Spear block?
Carapace Spear blocks 48, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 2. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.
Does Carapace Spear slow you down?
Carapace Spear 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.
How much durability does Carapace Spear have?
Carapace Spear has 250–400 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.
