Eventually, your tools and weapons will break from prolonged use in Valheim. When your tools break, you’ll need to repair them. However, repairing tools is not exactly a clear process if you are new to Valheim and its many features. Our guide will explain all steps required to repair your tools and other items in Valheim.
How to repair tools and weapons in Valheim
To repair tools and weapons in Valheim,you’ll need a Workbench, which you’re able to craft with 10 wood. Once the Workbench is built, you can repair all items by using theHammer iconleft of theWorkbench Crafting tab. Make sure the items you want to repair are inyour inventorybefore pressing the Repair button. You don’t need your items to be in your hotbar before you can repair them. Repairing items also don’t costresources, so you can fix anything in your inventory free of charge as long as you have a Workbench with aroofover it. If there is no roof over your Workbench, the game will give a text popup saying theWorkbench requires a roof.

We recommend placing your Workbench in a safe location inside your base and building a roof over it. If you need to repair out in the field, building a small structure with some walls and a roof is your best bet to repair your basic items. You won’t be able to repair all of your items immediately, as some item types require a Workbench of a certain tier which you may get byupgrading your Workbench. For other items, you will need to make aForgeor certain crafting structures before you can repair the corresponding items.

Instead, you’ll have to repair them inside a Forge or the structure you originally crafted the item. Luckily, if you have bronze or iron items, you probably already have a Forge. For those who don’t have a Forge, you can make one using the resources below:
