How much Torch you need

Raw materials

Torch is in the Tools and Lights 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.

Torch FAQ

How do you get Torch in Valheim?

Torch is crafted at - from Wood x1, Resin x1.

What are the stats of Torch in Valheim?

They are listed above, at every quality level Torch 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 Torch use per swing?

A swing of Torch costs 4 stamina, with a reach of 2.4 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 Torch block?

Torch blocks 3, 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 Torch slow you down?

Torch 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 Torch have?

Torch has 20 durability and cannot be repaired. When it runs out the item is gone, so it is a consumable with a long fuse rather than a piece of kit.
