  • Black Soup: A perfect balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Onion Soup: Deliciously rich.

How to make a Spice Rack in Valheim

A Spice Rack is a craftable item that requires the following materials:

  • 3 Dandelion
  • 2 Carrot
  • 5 Mushroom
  • 3 Thistle
  • 3 Turnip
  • Workbench

Making it is easy, but you’re probably reading this post because you have no idea how to place the Spice Rack. It seems that no matter where you try to place the Spice Rack, it says “Invalid Placement.” Well, we’ve got some tips and tricks for you.

How to place the Spice Rack in Valheim

To place a Spice Rack, you need to hang it from something, and it needs to be in the vicinity of your Cauldron. These are really the only two requirements. 

If you have your Cauldron in the corner of a house, you could technically place the Spice Rack on the outside wall of the house. You can also hang the Spice Rack from the ceiling. To do so, you’ll probably want to place a wood beam on your ceiling so that it can attach properly.

I had the best luck hanging it on the outside of a wall, but I’ve seen other players successfully place it from their ceilings and roofs. Either way, the Spice Rack is pretty bulky, so you’ll need to ensure you have the proper space to place it.
