What Are Magecaps In Valheim?
The Magecap is a new glowing blue mushroom found throughout the Mistlands in Valheim. They are used to help to boost up your Eitr metre & are part of the magic system introduced in Valheim. Magecaps can be eaten directly for gains of 25 Health, 25 Stamina, and 25 Eitr or used for crafting meads like the Minor Eitr Mead, Seeker Aspic & the Uncooked Stuffed Mushroom & certain dishes.
Where Can You Find Magecaps?
You can find Magecaps throughout the Mistlands growing in various places. Like other plants, they can appear randomly typically growing in small bunches.
How Do You Grow Magecaps In Valheim?
Once you have some Magecaps, You will want to start replanting them. This can be done by finding some grass & cultivating the area because Magecaps can only be replanted in cultivated soil.
When replanting your Magecaps there will be a on-screen message telling you about the required space between each one, if the message shows “needs more room to grow” then you need to replant it a little further away. Each Magecap needs roughly 1.5m of room to grow successfully. Once they have grown ( 2 in-game days) for each Magecap that was planted you should acquire 3 Magecaps back.
If your a big fan of Valheim you’ll most definitely like our guide on Valheim Jotun Puffs, were we explain how this other new mushroom is used to maximise your Health & Stamina bar.
Protecting Your Magecaps
With the Mistlands being a dangerous place for growing & replanting crops there will potentially be the powerful cockroach’s like Gjall’s & Seekers trying to destroy the harvest. The massive Gjall’s that can breath fire can be very dangerous to your crops as they can float about spawning tick minions occasionally.
To give yoor crops the best chance to go you should try growing them at the edges of the Mistlands, preferably somewhere around the borders of the black forest or the plains.
