As new players explore the biomes ofValheim, they will eventually come across their first Burial Chamber, leading them to their firstSurtling Core. Once players have picked one up, and if they also have come across fine wood, they will get the recipe for something called a Ward.
What is a Ward
The Ward is described inValheimas something that “Emits a magical seal on the nearby surroundings that prevents other players from constructing buildings or opening doors.” Since enemies in the game cannot currently build structures or open doors and chests, this means that the Wards don’t stop the plethora of enemies that will occasionally storm a player’s home in aValheimenemy event. But they will stop other players from messing with those things.

Uses and Quirks of Wards
Wards are always one of the toptips for players new toValheim’s PVP. They are a great way to protect empty bases and all the loot held inside. However, they do have some limitations and quirks.
Recipe for the Ward

Once the Ward is in place, the player must ensure that it is activated. They can then deactivate it, allowing any teammates to add themselves to the list of authorized users. Players cannot add other Viking’s names to the list of authorized users, but they can destroy a Ward and then rebuild it in order to remove players that they no longer wish to be authorized.
