You just started a new adventure in a Valheim realm, and you find yourself in need of rocks and stones. At this point, all you can craft are an axe and a spear, but no pickaxe.

No worries as the game is not bugged. In order to get your hands on a pickaxe, you must first progress in the storyline which is to kill the first boss ‘Eikhtyr.’ Here are the steps:

With your newly crafted pickaxe in hand, a world of resources awaits exploration. The pickaxe is primarily used for mining valuable minerals and ores, allowing you to gather resources required for forging powerful weapons, armor, and other essential items.

Additionally, the pickaxe can break apart rocks and reveal treasure chests, secrets, and even dungeons.

Once you possess an antler pickaxe, the first thing to do is find copper deposits and tin deposits in the black forest. Mine copper and tin as much as you can as those will be your crucial upgrade for your next mission.

In Valheim, the pickaxe is more than a mere tool. It's a gateway to resources, secrets, and progress. Crafting and upgrading the pickaxe is crucial for survival and advancement in the game. Whether you’re wielding the Antler, Bronze, or Iron Pickaxe, understanding their strengths and limitations will help you master the art of mining.

So, wear your armor, grab your pickaxe, and embark on an epic journey across the stunning realm of Valheim!
