The Iron Mace is a club in Valheim, dealing 55 blunt. At 55 total damage it is 8th of the 13 clubs, so it is a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. Blunt damage hurts Blob, Oozer and Skeleton more than most things, which is what to carry it for.

How to Craft

Crafted at Forge, station level 2.
Costs 4x Wood, 20x Iron, 3x Leather scraps at quality 1.
Materials can be found in the Swamp biome.

When to Use It

Early game. Iron comes out of Sunken Crypts in the Swamp, so this arrives once The Elder is down.

Upgrades

Upgraded 3 times after crafting, each level wanting the station built one step further up than the last. Every figure quoted elsewhere on this wiki is quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy is somewhere on:

Quality	Crafting Station	Blunt	Durability	Resources
1	Forge (Level 2)	55	200	4x Wood 20x Iron 3x Leather scraps
2	Forge (Level 3)	61	250	10x Iron
3	Forge (Level 4)	67	300	20x Iron
4	Forge (Level 5)	73	350	30x Iron

Properties

The last pure blunt club until the Ashlands. Every club between this and the Flametal mace mixes in another type, which sounds like an upgrade and is not: a mixed weapon cannot fully exploit a blunt weakness.

55 blunt for 10 stamina. Against a Skeleton's 50% blunt weakness that is worth more than the 75 slash of a Silver Sword swung at the same target.

Notes

The primary moves you forward 0.66 m with each swing, which closes distance the knockback just opened.
The secondary narrows to a 30 degree arc from the primary's 90, so it is a single-target finisher and not a crowd tool.
A two-handed hammer lands its blow 2 metres in front of the player and damages a 4-metre radius around that point, so positioning matters more than aim.
