Collect Yggdrasil Sap

• The first step is to find yourself a Dvergr dwelling. These towers and bases can be seen all through the Mistlands. Thankfully, the little guys that live within are friendly unless provoked. You can even kite particularly annoying enemies to them and team up.
• Inside the dwellings, you need to look for their crates. If you’re lucky, there will be a Dvergr Extractor in one of them. Be aware: smashing their crates and stealing their things is seen as an act of aggression. Prepare to fight the munchkins.
• Once you have collected a Dvergr Extractor, head back to your closest workbench. Build a Sap Extractor made for your size hands using your newly acquired Dvergr Extractor, 5x Black Metal, and 10x Yggdrasil Wood.
• Head back to the Mistlands and tap into a Yggdrasil root. These are huge glowing roots that pulse with energy.

Refine the Sap

• To turn this sap into the Refined Eitr you’ll need to craft magic items in Valheim, you first need a Sap Refinery. This is built using 10x Yggdrasil Wood, 20x Black Marble, 5x Black Metal, 5x Black Core, and 3x Sap.
• You’re going to need to do some mining in Mistlands for the marble and metal and a trip into the Infested Mines for the Cores.
• Add Soft Tissue to the top of the refinery and Sap to the bottom and presto, you’ve got pure Refined Eitr on your hands. Be careful, it’s potent.
