Strategy guide

Look for:

• Beehives: Abandoned wooden shacks may contain a beehive which you can destroy to drop a Queen Bee for building your own Beehive to farm Honey.
• Flint: Look for small gray stones along waterlines like beaches and riverbanks.
• Early Fine Wood: Obtain [Fine wood](https://valheim-qwiki.notion.site/Fine-wood-1b83775f927a80fd8134c212070bf9c8) before the bronze age by felling beech trees onto birch trees, or rolling logs into them until they break, or baiting Trolls to hit them.

Base Building: Deconstruct existing ruins with a Hammer to gain quick resources and potentially early [Core wood](https://valheim-qwiki.notion.site/Core-wood-1b83775f927a80a38e9cc876f592d540) from certain abandoned campsites.

Night Safety: Avoid exploring at night early on, as spawns are more frequent and the "Cold" debuff reduces stamina regeneration.
