Valheim: Workbench - how to improve? Valheim guide, walkthrough

Last update: 25 March 2021

On this page of Valheim 's tutorial you will learn how to raise the level of your workshops. Workshops are an essential part of expansion in Valheim, whether you are building a shelter, equipment or an entire village. More advanced constructions and items require a higher level workshop to construct and/or repair them.

Enhancement system

Workshops (Workbench and Forge) have structures associated with them, and building near a workshop raises its level by one. These are located under the "product" tab of the build menu, and are marked with an asterisk symbol.

The order of construction or type of structure does not matter. The differences between them are only in the materials required for their construction and their size/shape. Improvements cannot be built too close together while remaining close enough to the workshop they improve. This should be taken into consideration when planning a place to insert the main space for manufacturing and repairing items.

We will be informed of the correct distance by a flickering line that will extend between the improvement we are placing and the workshop we are upgrading.
