Valheim is a game that thrives on exploration and discovery, challenging players to navigate its diverse biomes and gather resources to confront formidable bosses. The journey can be daunting, especially in treacherous areas like the Swamp and Mountain, where even seasoned adventurers can fall prey to lethal threats. However, amidst the dangers, Valheim offers relief through its merchants, who provide essential items to ease your journey. Currently, there are three merchants in the game, each offering unique goods that can significantly enhance your survival in Valheim's unpredictable world. Locating them can be tricky due to the game's procedurally generated maps, but with the right guidance, you can find them and benefit from their offerings.
Haldor, the Black Forest merchant, is one of the easiest to locate due to his proximity to the world's center, with a spawn radius of 1500m. Positioned in the Black Forest biome, which you can explore early in your journey, Haldor is often found near The Elder's spawn area. To pinpoint The Elder's location, look for glowing ruins in Burial Chambers. Given the expansive search area, using the Valheim World Generator, crafted by wd40bomber7, can help you generate your specific world seed and locate Haldor's position efficiently. Once found, Haldor will remain in that spot, making it beneficial to construct a portal nearby for quick access. Trading with Haldor requires gold, which you can acquire by exploring dungeons and selling valuable gems like Rubies, Amber Pearls, and Silver Necklaces.

Hildir, located in the Meadows biome, presents a greater challenge to find due to her distant spawn from the world's center, ranging from 3000 to 5100m. Her potential spawn points are spaced about 1000m apart, requiring you to explore further reaches of the Meadows. The Valheim World Generator can expedite your search, but if you prefer the adventure of discovery, keep an eye out for the T-Shirt icon on the map, signaling Hildir's camp when you're within 300-400m. Once you locate her, setting up a portal is advisable for easy returns. Hildir specializes in clothing that provides various buffs, with many items offering the same benefits in different styles. Additionally, she offers quests that lead you to new dungeons across different biomes, such as Smouldering Tombs, Howling Caverns, and Sealed Towers, where you can find chests to bring back to Hildir for new shop items.
