The Valheim Crafting Planner in MetaBot Desktop

Feathers is in the Materials category in Valheim, and every number on this page is read straight from the game files for the current build. That includes the ones the in-game tooltip shows you and the ones it never does: reach, swing arc, how many hits the combo runs to and what the final one multiplies by.
