In order to build stone structures such as the hearth, paved roads, or stone walls in Valheim, you will need a work station known as a Stonecutter. Similar to the stone cutter in Minecraft, this workbench is capable of turning chunks of stone into durable structures for your base, including stone arches, stone floors, and stone pillars. In addition, you must have a stonecarver to create whetstones, the necessary material to create a grinding wheel upgrade for a forge. Stonecutters are also used to construct Wisp Fountains, structures used to collect Wisps, an important resource for exploring the fog-shrouded landscape of the Misty Lands.
Unlock and Build Stonecutter Recipe in Valheim
As with any higher level recipe in Walheim, you must first unlock the base structure recipe for the stonemason before you can build one in your base, as it is not among the blueprints available by default. Recipes are unlocked the first time you collect certain resources. Similarly, the stonemason recipe is automatically unlocked once you add a refined iron ingot to your inventory. Iron ingots are made in the smelter from coal and scrap metal. This raw material can only be found in the Swamp biome.
While you don't need any prior equipment to enter or explore the Swamp, it's important to get the Swamp Key to access Sunken Crypts. Sunken Crypts are dungeon-like locations where you'll find Scrap Iron to unlock the Stonecutter Recipe in Valheim. To get the Swamp Key, you must summon and defeat the Elder, Boss of the Black Forest. You can summon this boss by collecting three ancient seeds and placing them on the Forsaken altar. After defeating the Elder, exploring the sunken crypts of the Swamp for scrap metal, and smelting scrap in the smelter, you can finally make a stonecutter in Valheim using the following materials:
- Tree × 10
- Iron × 2
- Stone × 4
