Spinning Wheel

After building the Artisans Table, you can place a Spinning Wheel in Valheim. The Spinning Wheel is an essential component to make higher-tier gears and weapons. Spinning Wheel makes Linen Threads from Flax. Linen Threads are the main ingredients in making Padded Armor Set and Black Metal weapons.

Windmill

The Windmill is another structure that will help in making more food options in Valheim. The Windmill will produce Barley flour from Barley. Barley can be found in the Plains biome, guarded by Fulings in their Fuling Camps. With Barley flour, you will be able to make Bread, Blood pudding, Fish wraps, and Lox meat pie in a Cauldron.

Blast Furnace

A Blast Furnace is a higher-tier smelter, used to make Black Metal Ingots and Flametal ingots. These Black Metal Bars(Ingots) are used to craft all Black metal weapons like Blackmetal Axe and Blackmetal Shields. You need a level 4 Forge to unlock all the craftable items.
