Valheim 1.0 New Materials: Bloodgold, Frostcore & Full List

Valheim 1.0 adds 30+ new crafting materials including Bloodgold, Frostcore, Timberwood, Moose Hide and Seal Pelt. Full list plus community gathering paths.

Valheim 1.0’s Deep North is as much a crafting update as a combat one. The official 1.0 patch notes confirm 30+ new crafting materials, and they name most of them outright. This guide collects the confirmed material list and lays out, with clear sourcing, what the community reports about where each material comes from — and where the developer’s published information stops.

For the weapons and gear these materials build, see our Valheim 1.0 new weapons guide and the Deep North biome & Kall Fimbulbringer boss guide.

The Full Confirmed 1.0 Material List

Every name below is taken verbatim from Iron Gate’s official 1.0 patch notes. None of these are invented:

A few of these double as both a raw drop and a processed input (Timberwood appears under both “material” and “plantable,” for example). The patch notes also confirm new production stations that turn these materials into gear, covered below.

Highlighted Materials & Reported Sources

Iron Gate names the materials but does not publish a gathering guide. The acquisition paths below are community-reported (corroborated across gamers.wiki, eip.gg, showgamer, and Fextralife guides) and should be verified in-game:

• Bloodgold — Reported to come from Petrified Tissue. You defeat a Gammeltroll; it freezes into a petrified state, and Ember Charges break pieces off it into Petrified Tissue, which is then smelted in a Blast Furnace with Coal. Bloodgold is the primary metal for Nord Casts.
• Frostcore — Reported inside Winding Tunnels, as glowing blue icy formations on dungeon walls. One guide adds that Frysling kills drop one Frostcore each; that extra detail is community-reported.
• Timberwood — The Deep North wood; reported to be chopped from Timber Trees in the biome.
• Moose Hide / Moose Meat / Moose Sinew — Reported drops from Moose (the tameable, rideable creature confirmed in the notes).
• Seal Pelt / Seal Blubber — Reported drops from adult Seals.
• Moulds & Casts — Reported found in Winding Tunnels; used to craft Nord weapons and the Intricate Key.
• Frostfire Essence / Thunderblood Essence — Reported obtained from a ritual at an Ancient Altar using Memorial Coal (summon and defeat a fallen Viking/Ancestor).
• Liquid Frost — Confirmed as a material; reported produced at the Frigid Kiln by loading Ice (Ice itself is reported gathered by shattering frozen enemies and ice shelves in the Deep North).
• Embers — Confirmed as a material; community guides tie it to the Fader Relic / Ember Pile from the Ashlands stage of progression, which feeds the Ember Charge recipe.
• Petrified Tissue & Bloodgold weight — Community guides note Petrified Tissue and Bloodgold are heavy (reported ~14 weight per unit) and that a wooden Portal rejects both, so a Stone Portal is needed to move them. Treat the exact weight and portal restriction as community-reported.

Getting started: your first Deep North stockpile (community-reported)

Community guides suggest a practical opening loop for the new materials:

1. Gather around 20 Frostcore plus Stone, Iron, and an initial batch of Ice to build the Frigid Kiln and Frost Foundry.
2. Keep collecting Ice — every 5 Ice reportedly becomes 1 Liquid Frost to fuel the Foundry — rather than stopping at the construction batch.
3. Search Winding Tunnels and Mörkhalla for the Moulds your target craft needs before committing materials.
4. Preserve Timberwood Cones for a renewable Timberwood supply instead of spending every source at once.
5. Prepare Embers and Seal Pelts only when a Bloodgold extraction (via Ember Charges on a petrified Gammeltroll) is planned.

None of these quantities or the portal restriction appear in Iron Gate’s notes, so treat the checklist as community-reported guidance to verify in-game.

New Production Stations (Confirmed)

The official notes confirm these new or extended crafting stations that consume the 1.0 materials:

Community guides (showgamer, eip.gg) report the exact build costs for the two new stations: the Frigid Kiln needs 20 Stone, 10 Frostcore, and 5 Ice, while the Frost Foundry needs 15 Iron, 20 Stone, and 10 Frostcore. That works out to roughly 20 Frostcore total before the Deep North crafting chain is online. These figures are community-reported and do not appear in Iron Gate’s notes, so verify them in-game.

A few of the new materials are purchasable rather than gathered. The patch notes list Seasoning of the Gourd as a purchasable material (from a trader) and, separately, the Crown of Roots armour as purchasable. The Deeper Pockets and Wider Pockets inventory upgrades are also bought from Haldor. None of these change the gathering picture for the core Deep North metals, but they are worth knowing when you plan a supply run.

These are the backbone of the Deep North crafting chain described in the weapons guide.

How the Deep North Material Chain Fits Together (Community-Reported)

Iron Gate names the materials and stations but not the pipeline. Community guides describe a coherent loop that is community-reported:

1. Winding Tunnels supply Frostcore and the Moulds for gear.
2. The Frigid Kiln turns gathered Ice into Liquid Frost, which fuels the Frost Foundry.
3. Gammeltrolls provide Petrified Tissue, smelted into Bloodgold at a Blast Furnace — the primary metal for most Casts.
4. Moose, Seals, Elaking, Eyeless Ones, and Hexen supply the creature materials (hides, pelts, sinew, hair bundles, claws, Nornathread) that round out recipes.
5. Ancient Altar rituals using Memorial Coal yield the Frostfire and Thunderblood Essences for the elemental weapon lines.

This is a helpful mental model, but every quantity and drop rate in it comes from community write-ups, not Iron Gate. Verify costs in the in-game menu and expect patch changes.

What Is NOT Published (Boundary)

To respect the site’s no-fabrication rule, the following are not stated as fact:

• Exact drop rates (for example, the percentage chance an Ancient Altar ritual yields an essence).
• Exact quantities required per crafted item (per-material costs are in-game only).
• Biome coordinates or spawn radii for any material.
• The claim that a specific item (e.g. Memorial Coal) “has no recipe” — one guide notes this as unverified, so we do not assert it.

When in doubt, use the 1.0 console commands list on a test world to inspect items rather than guessing numbers.

FAQ

The short version: Valheim 1.0’s 30+ materials are officially named, but only the community has published gathering paths — so trust the names, verify the farms in-game, and ignore any precise drop-rate or cost figures until Iron Gate releases them.
