Valheim Lox Saddle: How to arts and crafts information technology

You'll need a few things to craft your lox saddle at your workbench:

ten leather scraps
xx linen thread
15 black metal

With the saddle crafted, you'll likewise need to tame a lox if you haven't yet. Lox are tamed like boars or wolves, past tricking them into entering a pen (in this case, one made of stone or earth walls on the Plains) and trapping them within, then feeding them barley, flax, or cloudberries. Do this long enough and they'll love you for it.

Place the saddle into one of your numbered hotkey slots, approach the tamed lox, and you'll see a prompt to saddle and ride them. Unfortunately, you lot can't fight with melee weapons while riding, or fifty-fifty employ your bow. If you lot're attacked, your tamed lox won't set on your enemy unless you dismount outset. Merely still, riding a lox around is pretty darn cool, and you'll run across an increase in the new Riding skill added in Hearth and Domicile, too.

Leather scraps are dropped by boars when you kill them. Linen thread is fabricated from flax, which can be collected from gardens in some fuling villages. To grow more, you'll need to replant it, and flax only grows in the Plains biome so you lot'll need a base and farm there to grow a flax crop. (If yous're taming lox, you're probably already at this stage of the game.)

Once yous accept enough flax, yous'll need to utilize a spinning cycle to create linen thread. The spinning wheel tin be crafted with the post-obit:

xx fine forest
ten iron nails
5 leather scraps

As a reminder, atomic number 26 nails tin can be crafted at a forge from iron ingots, with each ingot producing 10 nails.

Black metallic, meanwhile, tin exist made from black metal scrap (in a blast furnace, unlocked later on killing Moder and acquiring the artisan tabular array). Blackness metal bit is dropped past fulings and can also sometimes be found in chests in the Plains biome.

That'southward everything. Happy trails!
