About Valheim Saves

Valheim stores character data in .fch files and world data in .db files, both in binary format within the LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim/ folder. Character files contain skills, inventory, and known recipes, while world files hold terrain modifications, structure placement, and boss kills. Our analyzer extracts editable values from both formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Valheim saves?

%AppData%/../LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim/ — character files in /characters/ (.fch) and world files in /worlds/ (.db).

Can I edit character skills?

Yes. Skill levels are stored as numeric values in the .fch character file. Search for your current skill level to find and modify it.

Can I edit world data?

World .db files contain terrain, structure, and boss data. You can modify detected values, but world files are complex — make careful edits.

Do edits work on dedicated servers?

Character edits (.fch) travel with your character to any server. World edits (.db) only apply to that specific world file.
