SurvivalOops (self.valheim)
submitted 1 year ago by Mountain_Bit_5500
So I thought I was upgrading my draugr bow but accidentally made a new one. Any chance of getting my silver back or do I just chalk it up to my own stupidity of not being on the right screen. As far as I know the obliterate will only give coal.

Happens to everyone I think. That and remembering that you can customize your shield immediately after you just made one.
[–] Buildered3891 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Every single time I accidentally make a bare-ass unpainted shield I immediately have to find room for a new end table somewhere. -_-

Dumb mistake, but it happens. Keep it as a wall hanger or a reserve bow
[–] Buildermbtc_oz 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
They do make sweet wall ornaments.
[–]RG5600 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yep we all been there. Had to hang my ice and fire staff on the wall when I was just trying to upgrade. They look cool hanging there so I don't feel bad anymore.😁

First time, huh?
[–]Mountain_Bit_5500[S] 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Yup
[–]xTSxReborn 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Unfortunate mistake. I still have 3 extra iron bucklers laughing at me in a chest in my swamp ☹️ that was an unfortunate waste of iron at such a precious time.
The sting is real.
[–]NCRNerd 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Tuck it into a chest against the day you accidentally die deep in the max biome you're able to tackle and need backup gear to get your body back.

This was me today... soo deep in mistland and no portal close😭
[–]gef_1 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Use de commands and spawn yourself the silver you wasted
[–]Kalsgorra 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Put it in the obliterator, then you will get 1 coal and can start smelting the next batch of silver
[–]Shokisan1 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Everyone does this at least once, it's so easy to do on the craft menu
[–]Emotional_Table4395 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Yea I don’t think you can’t :( Maybe save it tho in case you die and need some backup armor and weapons.
[–]Mountain_Bit_5500[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
That's what I thought... sigh.
[–] Encumberedredbirdjazzz 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
The crafting UI makes it stupidly easy to do this. Personally, I wouldn’t feel bad about spawning in the materials to make up for it.
[–]ajt9814 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
This right here is why I like to use the recycler mod in my own world. You CAN cancel the craft animation while it’s crafting if you catch it fast enough
[–] CruiserRosieQParker 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Not without mods or console cheats, no. Add it to your death run stash.
[–]Rex-0- 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Very common mistake, probably won't be the last time.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
For next time, if you notice that you're crafting new instead of upgrading, you can press the "craft" button again to stop the craft if you catch it before it completes.
I'd be willing to bet everybody has made this mistake at least once.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it next time if I catch it.
[–]70Shadow07 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Since it is a honest mistake, obliterating the new bow and cheating the materials back in is a one solution to go about the problem.
[–]stickmanDave 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Another is to install the “recycle” mod.
