Valheim Ashlands Update: How to Craft the Drakkar Longship

In the latest Valheim update, the game introduces a new biome known as the Ashlands, filled with lava and danger. But, reaching this treacherous location requires a special kind of boat – the Drakkar Longship. This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to craft the Drakkar Longship in Valheim.

The Drakkar Longship is a sturdy vessel designed to withstand the rough waters leading to the Ashlands. Players who want to build this longship need to gather specific resources first. Here are the ingredients needed to craft the Valheim Drakkar Longship:

1. 100 x Iron Nails
2. 30 x Ceramic Plate
3. 50 x Fine Wood
4. 25 x Yggdrasil Wood

Getting Started

To start, head over to the workbench and follow these steps:

Step 1: Create Iron Nails

Firstly, smelt iron at the forge to produce iron nails. You will need ten pieces of iron to manufacture 100 iron nails. So, prepare ten irons to complete this requirement.

Step 2: Gather Fine Wood

Chop down birch and oak trees using a bronze axe or higher leveled weapons in Valheim to obtain fine wood. Make sure to have enough stockpile since fifty fine woods are necessary for building the Drakkar Longship.

Step 3: Obtain Yggdrasil Wood

Use a black metal axe to cut yggdrasil shoots found in the mistlands to collect twenty-five units of yggdrasil wood.

Now let us proceed to the more complicated part of obtaining ceramic plates.

Step 4: Get Black Marbles

Black marbles are essential in creating ceramic plates; however, they are not available directly from mining or cutting trees. Instead, hunt frost giants in the mountain area until you acquire five frozen slabs. Combine three frozen slabs at a tanning rack to form one block of ice. Afterward, melt the block of ice near fireplaces or hearths to extract one unit of black marble per melting process. Thus, to achieve thirty black marbles, repeat the procedure fifteen times.

Step 5: Upgrade Your Artisan Table

Before moving forward, ensure you defeat the queen boss one of the cruelest bosses in the Valheim mistlands to obtain the majestic carapace, formerly named Queen Drop. Use this item to upgrade your artisan table fully, allowing you to access advanced recipes such as ceramic plates.

Step 6: Produce Ceramic Plates

With the upgraded artisan table, combine two silver and one coal to generate crystal powder. Next, mix the newly formed crystal powder with clay to produce ceramic fragments. Finally, utilize the ceramic fragments together with stone blocks to make ceramic plates. Thirty ceramic plates are required to construct the Drakkar Longship.

Reaching Ashlands Biome Using the Drakkar Longship

Once you successfully built the Drakkar Longship, sail towards the lowest section of your world seed to locate the Ashlands, a crescent-molten shaped hellscape surrounded by dangerous lava seas. Be cautious when navigating through these areas because regular boats cannot endure the scorching heat emanating from the magma. Therefore, always rely on the Drakkar Longship to explore the Ashlands without fear of being destroyed.

With all the necessary items gathered and obtained, it is now time to put everything together and finally craft the much sought-after Drakkar Longship. Here’s how:

Step 1: Navigate Back to the Docks

Return to your base or wherever you plan to dock your magnificent longboat. Approach the workbench where you initially prepared the materials and select the option to build a Shipyard Building. Once constructed, interact with it to begin building the Drakkar Longship.

Step 2: Constructing the Drakkar Longship

Place the collected materials into the Shipyard Building interface: arrange 100 iron nails, 30 ceramic plates, 50 fine wooden planks, and 25 yggdrasil wooden logs accordingly. Double-check if every component has been placed correctly to avoid wasting valuable resources.

Step 3: Launching the Drakkar Longship

After successfully placing all the materials inside the Shipyard Building, hit the ‘Build’ button. Congratulations! You just completed constructing your very own Drakkar Longship. Now it’s time to launch it and conquer the harsh waves en route to the Ashlands. Interact with the finished product and press the ‘Launch’ button to send it out onto the water.

Final Thoughts on Valheim’s Drakkar Longship

Although the path to acquiring the Drakkar Longship may appear laborious, the rewards greatly surpass the effort invested.
