Root Fang FAQ

How do you get Root Fang in Valheim?

Root Fang is crafted at Black Forge from Ash Fang x1, Flametal x5, Jade x1, Flametal x1.

What are the stats of Root Fang in Valheim?

They are listed above, at every quality level Root Fang 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 damage does Root Fang block?

Root Fang blocks 3, and a parry taken on the right frame multiplies that by 1.5. Both numbers are then scaled by your Blocking skill, so what is listed here is the floor rather than the ceiling.

Does Root Fang slow you down?

Root Fang 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 Root Fang have?

Root Fang has 300–450 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.

Is Root Fang worth upgrading in Valheim?

It upgrades to quality 4, 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.
