TheStaff of Embersis a new magical weapon that arrived in Valheim with the Mistlands update. Along with a new biome to explore, there are resources, enemies, and even a newMistlands bossto discover, so the Viking afterlife has plenty to keep you busy.
One of the most exciting additions to arrive with the new Mistlands update, however, is the ability to use magic. There are several new magic weapons that allow you to hurl fire, ice, or conjure a friendly skeleton to help you in battle, making it easier to keep your distance and survive—in theory at least. If you’re ready to stash your sword and axe your axe, here’s how to craft a Staff of Embers in Valheim.

TheRefined Eitr, on the other hand, takes a lot more preparation than the others. First you’ll need to extract sap from ancient roots, then you’ll need to refine the sap using an Eitr Refinery. Luckily ourValheim Eitr guideexplains all the steps involved.
