Latest Valheim Patch Nerfs Greydwarf Farming, Introduces Bug Fixes and More

Just a day after the release of the latest Valheim 0.148.6 patch, Iron Gate has published the official patch notes for it, introducing a lot of surprising changes to most of the fans. Apparently, the update has nerfed the ability to farm Greydwarfs with the same method that was posted 2 weeks ago on Reddit.

This method allowed players to somewhat get constant resources, thanks to the broken farming method that kind of broke the game a bit. Building the necessary campfires, bonfires, and hearths at Graydwarfs’ spawns will no longer lead to a capture. In addition, there are lots of big and small updates in this patch, as confirmed in the patch notes below.

Some of the important changes are that this update increases the inventory space for reinforced chests. Another one is that it promotes easier looting since drops can now float on water. For the full patch notes for 0.148.6, check below.
