Valheim Patch 0.219.13 Adds New Trader The Bog Witch, New Food Mechanic

A brand new trader arrives in Valheim Patch 0.219.13, hanging out in the Swamps and waiting to sell you potions and ingredients. This new trader, The Bog Witch, will also have items related to the new nutrition mechanic on offer (see spoilers below). That’s not all 0.219.13 brings, however — there are also new tools and new non-combat skills that will be useful while you’re working in and around your Valheim home (Valhome?). Ironically, these skills will be particularly exciting for people who want to finish their chores faster so they can get back out into the field.

As always, the devs were kind enough to hide the detailed patch notes in spoilers, so we’ll do the same below. Read on to see the full patch notes!
