Running (Skill)
The Running skill in valheim: how it raises move speed and cuts sprint stamina cost.
- Raised by
- Sprinting
- Effect
- Faster movement, cheaper sprint
Running levels up as you sprint around the world, and a higher level both increases your movement speed and reduces how much stamina sprinting drains. Every trip across a biome, every escape from a Troll, and every supply run back to base gets faster as this skill climbs.
Why It Matters
Because it applies to essentially all overworld travel, Running is one of the skills that pays off from the very first hours of a playthrough and keeps paying off for the entire game.
