Valheim Seed FG0mwAB9vQ: Close Bosses, Silver Early Valheim 1.0.17
Seed FG0mwAB9vQ puts a great deal close to your spawn. Eikthyr's altar is only 0.2 km away, mountains start at 0.1 km, and a silver vein is roughly 0.3 km off. The first five bosses all sit within 4.3 km.
The seed
FG0mwAB9vQFarthest of the first five bosses 4.3 km · Haldor 1.9 km · 137 km² of land at the spawnOpen on the map · Seed pageIt is not a flat, easy world, though. The late-game biomes are spread out, and the Swamp is the thinnest biome on the island. Here is how the seed plays, section by section.
The first bosses and the traders
The early altars are tightly clustered around the spawn:
Eikthyr is practically next door, and the farthest of the first five bosses is Moder at 4.3 km. You can work through the early progression without a long expedition.
The later bosses are a different story: The Queen is 7.0 km out, The Frozen King 8.8 km, and Fader 9.7 km. Those trips will be real journeys.
Haldor is the closest trader at 1.9 km, so you can reach him early. Hildir follows at 2.6 km and the Bog Witch at 2.8 km. All three sit within 3 km of where you start.
Biomes around the spawn
Two biomes are on your doorstep: the Black Forest at 0.2 km and the Mountains at 0.1 km. The Swamp comes next at 1.5 km, then the Plains at 2.4 km. Together that covers the first four stages of progression within 2.4 km of spawn.
The later biomes take longer to reach:
| Biome | Distance to the nearest edge |
|---|---|
| Mountains | 0.1 km |
| Black Forest | 0.2 km |
| Swamp | 1.5 km |
| Plains | 2.4 km |
| Mistlands | 5.4 km |
| Deep North | 7.5 km |
| Ashlands | 8.3 km |
The Mistlands are 5.4 km from the spawn, which is fairly far but not extreme. The Deep North at 7.5 km and the Ashlands at 8.3 km are the far ends of the map for you.
By share of land, the Mistlands lead with 23.7%, followed by the Plains at 19.2% and the Black Forest at 18.0%. The Ashlands take up 17.0% and the Deep North 9.8%. The Meadows are only 4.6% of the land, the Mountains 4.3%, and the Swamp just 3.6%. So you start in a world dominated by the later biomes rather than by gentle Meadows.
Metals
Metal is plentiful close to home. These ore distances are approximate, worked out from the game's placement rules:
- A copper deposit is about 0.3 km away.
- A tin deposit is about 0.4 km away.
- Silver is about 0.3 km away.
- Muddy scrap piles, the Swamp iron, are about 1.5 km away.
Copper and tin together mean bronze needs no long search. The Swamp iron is as close as the Swamp itself, 1.5 km. Silver is the standout: at roughly 0.3 km, it is about as close as copper.
Landmass and dungeons
Your spawn is on a landmass of 137 km².
There are 34 dungeons within 3 km of the spawn. That is a lot of places to explore in the early game, which suits anyone who enjoys crawling through them.
Who this seed suits
If you want to find the first five bosses without long distances to cover, this seed delivers: everything up to Moder falls inside 4.3 km. It also suits players who like early metal progression, since copper, tin and silver are all within about 0.4 km. And with 34 dungeons within 3 km, explorers who prefer digging into dungeons have plenty to do close to home.
Weak points
The far end of the game is spread out. The Queen is 7.0 km away, The Frozen King 8.8 km, and Fader 9.7 km, so the last stretch of progression asks for more travel than the start. The Ashlands at 8.3 km and the Deep North at 7.5 km are similarly distant.
The Swamp makes up only 3.6% of the land, and the Meadows 4.6%, so those biomes are small. If you like a classic Meadows-heavy start, this seed will feel different.
Where it ranks
Out of 120000 seeds measured, FG0mwAB9vQ places well in a few lists:
- Number 4 in "Seeds with silver close to the spawn"
- Number 11 in "Seeds with mountains close to the spawn"
- Number 20 in "Seeds with the Deep North closest to the spawn"
The silver ranking is the strongest of the three.
