As you progress through the game, you will have the opportunity to upgrade your ship, from a Raft to a Karve, and finally to a Longship, but getting it there is not easy.

First of all, you need a working workbench to craft the ship, a Karve, a working forge, and the following materials:

  • 100x Iron Nails, which can be crafted from Iron Ingots in any forge. You will need 10 Iron Ingots to reach 100 nails. 
  • 10x Deer Hide’s witch can be acquired by hunting dears or in chests through the world. Go and prove your might hunter! 
  • 40x Fine Wood pieces, which can be acquired by chopping the Birch and Oak trees, found in the Meadows and Plains biomes. Keep in mind that to shop Birch you need the Bronze Axe. You can also find the item by exploring shipwrecks. 
  • 40x Ancient Bark’s, you can found plenty at the Swamp biome. 

With all the items and tools gathered, all you need to do is build a workbench near the water and build your very own Longship!

”A battle-slain warrior, the Valkyries have ferried your soul to Valheim, the tenth Norse world. Besieged by creatures of chaos and ancient enemies of the gods, you are the newest custodian of the primordial purgatory, tasked with slaying Odin’s ancient rivals and bringing order to Valheim.

Your trials begin at the disarmingly peaceful centre of Valheim, but the gods reward the brave and glory awaits. Venture forth through imposing forests and snow-capped mountains, explore and harvest more valuable materials to craft deadlier weapons, sturdier armor, viking strongholds and outposts. Build a mighty longship and sail the great oceans in search of exotic lands … but be wary of sailing too far…”
