I remember freezing on a ridge as the Deep North wind ate through my cloak, watching a Thunderblood greatsword arc lightning across a pack of hunters. You can feel your choices thicken there — every forged shape matters. I’ll show you which weapons and armor are worth the Bloodgold, and which are traps that chew your time.
I write this as someone who’s raided mountain altars and wasted inventory space on pretty but useless gear so you don’t have to. You’ll get the map of how Nord, Frostfire, and Thunderblood gear are made, which pieces actually change fights, and a few practical tips I use when I loot moulds or fire up the Frost Foundry. Think of good choices as a scalpel in a surgeon’s hand and bad choices as a lighthouse in a blizzard — one guides you, the other just looks impressive.
All Valheim 1.0 Weapons
I watched a clan trade an entire pile of refined materials for a single mould — and then miscast the recipe. The Deep North update drops over 40 new weapons, split into three clear families: Nord forged from Bloodgold and Timberwood, Frostfire upgraded with Frostfire Essence, and Thunderblood enhanced with Thunderblood Essence after Ancient Altar challenges. I’ll walk you through how to get them and why some deserve your resources more than others.
How do I craft Frostfire and Thunderblood weapons in Valheim 1.0?
Find the weapon mould in the overworld, gather Bloodgold and the mould-specific materials, then create the cast and finish it at a Frost Foundry. For Frostfire and Thunderblood grades you must complete the Ancient Altar challenges to claim the respective Essence (Frostfire Essence or Thunderblood Essence) and combine it with the base Nord weapon plus 20 Bloodgold at the Foundry.
Quick judgement calls I use: if a Nord weapon already suits my playstyle (Atgeir for pierce, Greataxe for heavy cleaves), upgrade to Frostfire for reliable frost+fire damage. Reserve Thunderblood for fights where the lightning proc and missing-health scaling can snowball damage during long boss brawls.
Below is the full table of new weapons — everything from Nord daggers to Thunderblood crossbows is listed with stats and recipes so you can plan which moulds to hunt. Use the table to compare weight, damage types, stamina use, and any special effects like lightning procs or Eitr costs.

What are the best weapons for boss fights in Deep North?
For prolonged encounters I favor Thunderblood Greatsword or Atgeir because the lightning proc plus the damage scaling when you’re low on health can flip a fight. For control and group-clear use a Greataxe or Frostfire Sledge; for single-target precision pick Atgeir or Crossbow variants. If you play ranged, Thunderblood Crossbow hits hardest but costs resources — plan accordingly and raid Ancient Altars on a coordinated server run via Steam or Discord groups to speed up Essence farming.
All Valheim 1.0 Armors
I have seen a team flip a boss fight simply by changing helmets between waves — a small gear tweak can swing momentum. There are 11 new armor pieces, including three-piece set effects for the Vanguard line and powerful Eitr-regeneration robes for mages. Crafting follows the same mould-to-cast-to-foundry flow as weapons: find the mould, assemble Bloodgold and set materials, then finish in the Frost Foundry.
Which armor set should I farm first in Deep North?
If you play melee, prioritize the Vanguard set for the set effect that boosts run and regen stats; it makes aggressive play feel safer. For mages or Eitr-builds, the Robes of the Caller plus Cape of the Caller are a game-changer because of high Eitr regen. If you’re often facing frost damage, the Moose Hide Cape and Protector pieces offer great resistance and durability.
Below is the armor table with recipes and key stats. Note the materials like Moose Hides, Nornathread, Elaking Hair Bundles, and Bloodgold — these are what you should prioritize when you farm Deep North altars and beast spawns. If you prefer shortcuts, the community on Reddit and Nexus Mods often catalogs mould locations quickly; I use Steam workshop pinned threads and the Valheim subreddit to track spawns between server resets.

Small practical tips: mark found moulds in your map and coordinate runs with friends on Discord or Steam to clear Ancient Altars quickly. If you’re testing builds, the Valheim console commands can spawn pieces for theorycrafting — I use them to prototype before committing Bloodgold to a foundry. Iron Gate AB’s patch notes and the Valheim subreddit are good sources for stability fixes and mould spawn tweaks.
Which piece are you hunting first, and which one would you dump if it cost you a full stack of Bloodgold?
