Valheim's world is divided into different biomes that hold their own unique challenges. To meet these, players will find new materials in each area that allow for the creation of stronger armor and weapons. For the newest addition to Valheim, the Mistlands, the material that fits this mold is Marble.

While not a metal like Silver or Bronze, Marble helps players build important stations that allow for easier progression in Valheim's Mistlands. For those players looking to track down Marble and learn how to use it, this guide is here to help.

Where to Find Marble in Valheim?

While the ground of the new Mistlands biome appears to be made of Marble, using a pickaxe on this will only give players stone. Instead, players need to search around this dangerous biome for the Petrified Bones because these are the key to harvesting Marble. These remains spawn randomly throughout the area and will likely have at least one of the dangerous enemies nearby and so players need to be on their guard when mining.

Similar to metal ores in previous biomes in Valheim, Marble requires a pickaxe in order to be mined. As part of the new Mistlands update, the developer's have added in a Black Metal Pickaxe for players to craft and this is what is needed to collect Marble. Fortunately, part of what differentiates this material from metals is that it can be transported through portals.

What is Marble used for in Valheim?

There are plenty of items that have been added in this new update to Valheim that require at least some pieces of Marble. For those who play Valheim for its building mechanics, there are a whole assortment of new building structures that take on the appearance of Marble. This list includes a staircase, different size columns, plinths, and a few other options. Players can also now construct a Black Marble bench in their bases as well.

Aside from this, players will need to gather Marble in order to build a new crafting station: the Black Forge. This is where players can craft many of the new weapons and armor that will better prepare them for the challenges of the Mistlands. In addition to this, there are a few crafting station upgrades that require this material as well. The Mortar and Pestler (Cauldron), Rune Table (Galdr Table), and Black Forge Cooler (Black Forge).

Valheim is available now for PC, and releases in early 2023 for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
