Where to find Wooden Greatsword

Not generated in the world. It is crafted, or found inside a dungeon or ruin.

Wooden Greatsword is in the Two-Handed Weapons 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. Quality 1-4

Wooden Greatsword FAQ

How do you get Wooden Greatsword in Valheim?

This item is not crafted. It is gathered, dropped or found in the world.

What are the stats of Wooden Greatsword in Valheim?

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

A swing of Wooden Greatsword costs 8 stamina, with a reach of 2.6 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 Wooden Greatsword block?

Wooden Greatsword blocks 12, 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 Wooden Greatsword slow you down?

Wooden Greatsword 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 Wooden Greatsword have?

Wooden Greatsword has 200–350 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.
