A mod for Valheim
Dvergr Reclaimer
Hexium release
Valheim · Hexium
A development build; balance may still change.
An iron furnace that breaks old gear back down into materials.
Put the old gear to work
Dvergr Reclaimer adds an iron furnace to Valheim's Hammer from the Swamp onwards. Items placed in its crate are broken down one at a time, using Recycle N' Reclaim's yields and rules, and the materials are moved into nearby chests.
It needs Recycle N' Reclaim and Jötunn. Epic Loot is optional and adds trophy sacrifices.
What it does
Load it and leave it
Fill the 8×12 crate with old gear. It breaks each item down with Recycle N' Reclaim's yields and rules, burning Coal as it works.
Results where you want them
Materials go into nearby chests. Anything they can't take drops out of the front, the way a Smelter drops its bars.
Only what your world knows
It reclaims only recipes someone on the world has discovered.
Epic Loot sacrifices
With Epic Loot and an Enchanting Table nearby, trophies and boss items are sacrificed for enchanting materials.

Development
I built the Reclaimer as a Hammer piece whose model is assembled at runtime from a Meshy-generated mesh, prepared in Blender, without a Unity project. It breaks items down through Recycle N’ Reclaim’s public API, with a recipe ledger shared across everyone on the world, and borrows the vanilla Smelter’s fire, smoke and sounds. Epic Loot’s sacrifice is bound only when Epic Loot is installed.
The mod is tested headless inside the real game, including against a dedicated server. The screenshots on this page were rendered by that test harness from the game itself.
Recycle N’ Reclaim is the work of Azumatt, and Epic Loot of its original creators.
