All 79 One-Handed Weapons in Valheim, with weight, biome tier and what each one is made from.

One-Handed Weapons FAQ
How many One-Handed Weapons are there in Valheim?
There are 79. Each one links through to its weight, its materials and where it comes from.
What is the earliest One-Handed Weapons in Valheim?
Abyssal Harpoon, at biome tier 1. The latest is Snowball at tier 8. Progression is gated by materials rather than a quest log, so the tiers follow the biomes.
What tier are One-Handed Weapons in Valheim?
This category spans the progression, from Abyssal Harpoon at tier 1 up to Snowball at tier 8. Tier here means the biome the item belongs to rather than a quality grade, so it is a reliable guide to when you will get something and a poor one to how good it is against a specific target.
How many One-Handed Weapons are there in Valheim?
79, out of 899 items in the game. That share is worth knowing before committing to a category: a large one usually means many small variations on the same idea, while a short one means each entry is doing something the others cannot.
Can One-Handed Weapons be upgraded in Valheim?
Most equipment can, and the cost is not a simple multiple. Above the first quality the base requirement is replaced rather than added to, and the multiplier changes again in the upper levels — so the per-item pages carry the worked totals instead of asking you to multiply, because multiplying gives the wrong number.
