This guide details the locations and inventories of Valheim's three merchants: Haldor (Black Forest), Hildir (Meadows), and the Bog Witch (Swamp). Finding them can be challenging due to the game's procedural generation.
Finding and Utilizing Valheim's Merchants
Valheim's merchants offer valuable items to aid your survival. Their locations vary across each playthrough, making them a bit of a treasure hunt. While exploration is key, using the Valheim World Generator (created by wd40bomber7) significantly simplifies the search by revealing merchant coordinates based on your world seed.
Haldor: The Black Forest Merchant
Haldor, found in the Black Forest, is generally the easiest to locate, often spawning near The Elder's potential spawn points (indicated by glowing ruins in Burial Chambers). Once found, build a portal for easy access. He accepts gold, readily obtained from selling gems and other materials.
Haldor's Inventory: (Note: Costs are in coins)

Hildir: The Meadows Merchant
Hildir resides in the Meadows, typically further from the world center than Haldor. The World Generator is highly recommended. She offers clothing with stamina reduction buffs and unique quests leading to chests containing additional items. Completing these quests unlocks a wider range of her inventory.
Hildir's Inventory: (Note: Costs are in coins)

Hildir's inventory includes various clothing items offering stamina reduction, crafting materials, and items unlocked through her questline. These quests involve finding her lost chests in various biomes (Black Forest, Mountains, Plains).
The Bog Witch: The Swamp Merchant
The Bog Witch, located in the Swamp biome, is the most recent addition. Her location is similarly challenging to find as Hildir's. She offers ingredients for cooking and mead brewing, along with other useful items.
Bog Witch's Inventory: (Note: Costs are in coins)
(A simplified version is provided due to the extensive list. The full list is available in the original text.)
The Bog Witch's inventory contains ingredients for crafting various consumables, including meads, potions, and food items. Many items unlock after defeating specific bosses.
Remember to build portals near each merchant for efficient travel. Happy trading!
