The Torch is a club in Valheim, dealing 4 blunt and 15 fire. At 19 total damage it is 12th of the 13 clubs, so it is a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. Blunt and fire damage hurts Neck, Frost Blob and Geirrhafa more than most things, which is what to carry it for.

How to Craft

Crafted at Player crafting menu, station level 1.
Costs 1x Wood, 1x Resin at quality 1.
Materials can be found in the Meadows biome.

When to Use It

Opening hours. Everything it takes comes out of the Meadows, so this is gear for a character who has just stood up.

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	Fire	Durability	Resources

Properties

Not really a weapon: it is a lamp that frightens things. While it is equipped it counts as a fire, and that scares off Necks, untamed Boar, Greylings and Greydwarfs without a blow being struck. It can go in either hand.

15 fire on a 4-stamina swing. 14 creatures take extra from fire, the most of any damage type in the game, so the cheapest attack available is also the one with the widest list of targets. There is no secondary attack.

Notes

It burns out. Durability drains passively while equipped, giving about 10 minutes of light against a 9 minute night, and a torch cannot be repaired: at 0% it disappears.
Despite the description it gives no warmth, so it is no help at all in the Mountain.
It cannot be displayed on an Item Stand, and you start the game holding one.
