If you like being in the center of the action and want to overpower enemies in no time, then the Silver Mace is what you need. Its damage is absolutely fantastic - 40 units, and it also stuns opponents.

In this guide, we will tell you how to level up your smithing skill, where to get the Silver Mace, and the ingredients required for its crafting. Let's get started!

Where to Get the Mace in Valheim

Usually, after three hits, an average enemy won't be able to attack you quickly and will become very slow. There are two exceptions: trolls and frost enemies, as they are immune to this type of weapon. With the mace fully upgraded, you can deal damage up to 58 units.

In order to craft the mace, you should first unlock the recipe. Before that, buy some Imir Flesh from the trader Haldor, it costs 120 coins in total. Additionally, to craft the mace, you'll need to upgrade your forge to level 3.

Smithing Leveling Algorithm

It is improved by modifying the following components:

1. Anvil. You can produce it only after smelting bronze. To do this, go in search of copper and tin. Then, using the forge, you'll need to combine them in the right proportion to create an alloy.

2. Cooling Rack. It will become available only when you have copper and fine wood.

3. Smith's Tongs. They will become available only after you acquire iron and craft a chain. You can try your luck and find the chain in sunken chests in swampy areas. You can also try killing ghosts that live near their graves.

4. Smith's Anvils. They will be available to you only after you find iron.

5. Tool Stand. In this case, you won't be able to make it without stands and a chain.

6. Grinding Wheel. You will only gain access to it after uncovering iron and assembling a stone cutter.

You can build all these modifications only next to the forge. They increase the smithing level by one position.

To craft the Silver Mace, you will need the following materials:

•  10 pieces of Ancient Bark. You can obtain it from ancient trees in the swamp areas. To fell the tree, you'll first need to find a stone axe (or a bronze one). 

• 30 silver ingots. You can obtain them using a pickaxe at the deposits. The silver obtained from ore veins needs to be smelted into ingots. Be cautious, there is a chance to freeze to death in the mountains. 

• Frost Cores - 5 pieces. You can obtain them only from drakes. They also reside in the mountains. You can kill them using a bow. 

• Imir Flesh - 5 pieces. It can be purchased from the trader Haldor.
