How to Get an Artisan Table in Valheim
If you do not have an Artisan Table yet, you will need the following stuff in order to craft it:
- 2x Dragon Tear
- 10x Wood
Dragon Tears are dropped from the Dragon Boss Moder in the Mountain, which you summon by delivering enough Dragon Eggs to its shrine/nest. Happy grinding, and make sure to bring enough ranged weaponry so that you can knock it out of the sky fast!
How to Craft a Ballista in Valheim
Ballista is a Misc. structure that you can craft with these materials:
- 10x Black Metal
- 10x Yggdrasil wood
- 10x Mechanical spring
How to Use Ballista and Black Metal Missiles in Valheim
Ballista usually works alone, automatically, as long as there is enough ammo. Make sure to bring a white flag as well, because some players have reported that the Ballista shot at them when they were in sight. You load up the Ballista by pressing “E” (or any other key that you have mapped the function to). It’s important to note that they have a limited angle of sight so make sure to turn them away from your base’s walls.
