Valheim raids
Raids, called random events in the game, attack your base from time to time. About every 46 minutes the game rolls with a 20% chance; which raids can start depends on the biome and on the bosses you have defeated. The table has them all.

Questions
How often do raids happen in Valheim?
About every 46 minutes the game rolls for a raid with a 20% chance, but only near a player base, and only for the raids whose conditions you meet.
How do I stop raids?
Raids need a player base nearby and only the raids matching your progress can start. The conditions of each one are on its page.
