How to Get Ashwood and Grausten in Valheim

Valheim's Ashlands brings a wealth of content for you to discover as you settle into the new biome. When building the initial base, you must investigate the biome for new resources, as ordinary buildings will not withstand the harsh atmosphere of the Ashlands.

To create these buildings you need to get your hands on the two key main resources of Ashlands called Ashwood and Grausten.

These are obtained from scorched trees found only in the Ashlands biome. Equip the Stone Ax and use it to cut down these, once the tree is cut down, break the fallen trunks to turn them into Ashwood.

Remember that Ashwood is used to craft building items along with some of the newly added weapons. If you are interested in this topic, we invite you to continue reading so that you can learn in depth.

How to Get Ashwood and Grausten in Valheim

Obtaining Grausten

Locating the Ashlands: The Ashlands biome is characterized by its desolate, volcanic terrain. Look for landscapes dominated by ash, lava flows, and sparse vegetation.

Identifying Grausten Sources: Scattered throughout the Ashlands lie the remnants of past civilizations – ruined structures of considerable size. These structures serve as the primary source of Grausten.

Mining for Grausten: A Stone Mining Pick (or a superior tier pickaxe) is the minimum tool required to extract Grausten. Utilize the pickaxe to mine the aforementioned ruins, and Grausten will yield as loot upon successful mining. The harvested Grausten will be readily visible on the ground for collection.

Applications of Grausten

Construction Material: Grausten serves as a vital component in crafting an array of novel building elements accessible through the utilization of the Hammer tool.

Fire Resistance:  The inherent fire resistance of Grausten makes it the preeminent material for constructing a base or any structures within the Ashlands. This ensures the structural integrity of your creations amidst the prevalent environmental threats posed by the biome.

With these guidelines you can successfully acquire Grausten and take advantage of its unique properties to establish a secure and lasting base within the unforgiving Ashlands biome. Remember that a well-prepared builder thrives even in the face of adversity.
