How To Craft a Cultivator

Before players can craft a Cultivator, they mustenter the game’s bronze age. To do so, players need to first defeat Eikthyr,the first boss ofValheim. This gives players access to hard antlers, which can be used to create an Antler pickaxe. This item allows players to mine the Copper and Tin that can be found around the Black Forest Biome.Combining 2 Copper and 1 Tin at a Forge will give players the Bronze needed to unlock the Cultivator recipe.

Cultivators require 5 Bronze ore and 5 Core wood and can only be crafted at a Forge.Core Wood inValheimcan be gathered by cutting down Pine trees that grow throughout the Black Forest biome. One or two trees would be enough to complete this recipe. There are three levels of Cultivator, and this tool can be upgraded at a forge. Upgrading this tool adds durability with a level 3 Cultivator increasing its durability from 200 at the base level to 600.

How to Use a Cultivator

Cultivator’s main purpose inValheimis for farming. This item in the game can be used to make a plot of land ready to plant seeds or saplings.Valheimhas a number of different planting options that can be found in the various biomes in the game, and these can only be planted on cultivated land. Carrot seeds, Onion seeds, and Flax are some of the more useful.

Cultivators need to be in hand to plant anything on this cultivated plot of land. Players can plant seeds to grow vegetables, plant vegetables to grow more seeds, and even plant acorns and saplings to grow trees. Right-clicking opens up this option togrow things inValheim.

Cultivator’s final option is to regrow grass in an area. This can be done to make the landscape more natural and can even regrow lily pads on water and cattails in certain areas. Fortunately, this costs only stamina to create rather than any resources.
