Dragon tear Valheim

What Dragon Tears are really for

Dragon Tears are not a consumable and they are not a generic trophy reward. Their practical job is to craft the Artisan Table after Moder, which unlocks the production stations that turn Plains materials into progression.

• +Use the first Dragon Tears on the Artisan Table before worrying about extra storage or decoration.
• +Treat the table as the start of Plains production, not the end of the Mountain boss reward.
• +If you searched this after Moder, your next useful page is the post-Moder route, then the Plains route.

What the Artisan Table changes

The Artisan Table matters because it connects several separate Plains goals. Black metal needs the blast furnace, barley wants a windmill, and flax becomes useful through linen production.

• +Build production near storage so barley, flax, black metal scrap, coal, and thread do not become hauling chores.
• +Choose the first station from your blocker: food, armor, or weapon damage.
• +Do not raid deep Plains villages just because the table is built; scout and portal first.

Dragon Tears build the Artisan Table, which unlocks the Blast Furnace, Windmill, and Spinning Wheel. These three stations enable Black Metal processing, Barley-based food, and Linen production — the core Plains progression loop.

Where do Dragon Tears come from in Valheim?
