Valheim Seed 6qle2wRzWg: A Compact Start With Close Silver Valheim 1.0.17
6qle2wRzWg is a seed built around a fast opening. Eikthyr's altar sits 0.2 km from where you spawn, the Black Forest and Mountains start just as close, and every one of the first five bosses is within 4.2 km. That makes it a good seed for a run that wants to move quickly through the early game.
The seed

Bosses and traders
The first bosses are unusually tight. The nearest altars to your spawn are:
| Boss | Distance from spawn |
|---|---|
| Eikthyr | 0.2 km |
| Bonemass | 2.6 km |
| Moder | 3.1 km |
| Yagluth | 4.1 km |
| The Elder | 4.2 km |
| The Queen | 6.0 km |
| Fader | 8.9 km |
| The Frozen King | 9.3 km |
Eikthyr is essentially on your doorstep. The Elder is the farthest of the first five at 4.2 km, so you never need a long expedition to reach any early boss. The Queen, Fader and The Frozen King are farther out, and the last two are close to 9 km away.
Haldor is 2.3 km from spawn, which is close enough to visit early. Hildir is 3.2 km away, and the Bog Witch is 3.1 km away.
Biomes around the spawn
The Black Forest and the Mountains both start 0.2 km from spawn, so you are standing between them from the first minute. After that the biomes come in steps:
- Swamp: 1.5 km
- Plains: 2.5 km
- Mistlands: 5.5 km
- Ashlands: 7.5 km
- Deep North: 8.3 km
The Swamp and Plains are both short trips. The Mistlands are a real journey, and the Ashlands and Deep North are farther again, so the later stages of the game involve more travel than the early ones.
By area, the world is dominated by a few large biomes. The Mistlands make up 24.6% of the land, the Black Forest 18.7%, the Plains 18.0% and the Ashlands 17.5%. The Deep North covers 8.9%. The Mountains take 4.7%, the Meadows 4.4% and the Swamp only 3.2%. Meadows are scarce, so expect to spend most of your time in other terrain.
Metals
These distances are approximate, but they point to a very comfortable early progression:
| Resource | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Copper deposit | 0.3 km |
| Silver vein | 0.3 km |
| Tin deposit | 0.8 km |
| Muddy scrap pile (the Swamp iron) | 1.6 km |
Copper, tin and silver are all within 0.8 km of spawn. The Swamp iron is the farthest at 1.6 km, a short trip given that the Swamp itself begins 1.5 km out. With silver this close, you can reach it without a long search or a long haul home.
Landmass and dungeons
The spawn sits on a 44 km² landmass. That is room for the early game, but not a large world to roam, and the farther biomes are a reminder that you will eventually leave it behind.
Dungeons are plentiful. There are 31 within 3 km of spawn, so you have plenty of places to explore close to base.
Who it suits, and where it falls short
This seed suits players who want a quick start and short early trips. It also suits those who like close access to silver, which is the standout feature here. Among the 120000 seeds measured, 6qle2wRzWg ranks number 2 in the list "Seeds with silver close to the spawn."
The weak points follow from the same layout:
- The spawn landmass is only 44 km².
- The Mistlands, Ashlands and Deep North are 5.5 km, 7.5 km and 8.3 km out, so late-game travel takes real effort.
- Fader and The Frozen King are the most distant altars at 8.9 km and 9.3 km.
- The Swamp covers only 3.2% of the land and the Meadows 4.4%, so neither offers much room.
If you prefer a world where everything late-game is near, this is not the seed. If you want an easy, well-supplied opening, it is a strong pick.
