Yes, resting at the Bog Witch’s hut gives you the Comfortable rested buff, and her store sells a fixed set of items that rotates stock daily. You can rest inside her hut to get a +2 comfort level bonus, and her shop offers a mix of new crafting materials, consumables, and decorative items.
Background: Who Is the Bog Witch?
The Bog Witch is a new NPC trader introduced in the Valheim update 0.219.14 (the Bog Witch update, released in October 2024). She lives in a small hut in the Swamp biome, usually found near the edge of the swamp or on a small island within it. Unlike Haldor (the merchant) and Hildir (the clothing trader), the Bog Witch does not sell gear or weapons directly—she sells ingredients and items that help you craft new consumables and building pieces.
To find her, you need to locate her hut on the map. She is not marked until you get close, so you’ll have to explore swamps. Her hut is a small wooden structure with a cauldron inside, and she stands next to it. Interacting with her opens a shop menu.
How the Resting Mechanic Works at Her Hut
When you enter the Bog Witch’s hut, you’ll notice a Comfortable buff icon appear. This is a rested bonus that lasts for a short time (about 10 minutes) and gives you +50% health and stamina regeneration. The comfort level inside the hut is 2, which is higher than the default comfort level of 1 you get from a campfire or a basic shelter. This makes her hut a useful rest stop when you’re deep in the swamp, especially if you’re gathering materials or fighting enemies.
The rested buff from her hut stacks with other comfort effects? Actually, it does not stack with other comfort sources—it simply replaces your current rested bonus with the hut’s level. But because it’s a higher comfort level, it’s better than most early-game resting spots. You can also use the hut’s campfire (if one is lit) to cook food or boil water, but the main benefit is the free rested buff.
The Bog Witch’s Full Store List
Her inventory is divided into two categories: always available and rotating. The always-available items are:
- Bog Witch Token – not sold, but you need it to buy some items? Actually, you don’t need tokens; you buy with coins.

Additionally, she sells a rotating selection of decorative items and new consumables that change daily (in-game days). These include:
- Bog Witch Mask – a cosmetic hat (rotating)
- Bog Witch Cape – cosmetic cape (rotating)
- Cauldron (decorative) – a decorative cauldron (rotating)
- Bog Witch’s Brew – a potion that gives a temporary buff (rotating)
- Bug Repellent – a consumable that reduces aggro from bugs (rotating)
- Bog Witch’s Blessing – a consumable that gives a random buff (rotating)
Note that the rotating items are not guaranteed to appear every day; you may need to wait several in-game days to see a specific item.
How to Use Her Items Effectively
The Bog Witch’s main purpose is to provide you with ingredients for the new Bog Witch crafting station (the cauldron). With her items, you can craft:
- Bog Witch’s Brew – a potion that restores health and stamina over time.
- Bug Repellent – a spray that makes bugs (like Deathsquitos and ticks) ignore you for a short time.
- Bog Witch’s Blessing – a random buff that could be anything from increased carry weight to faster mining speed.
You can also use her materials to build new decorative items like the Bog Witch’s Hut (a build piece) and various swamp-themed furniture.
Common Mistakes and Misconceptions
One common mistake is assuming the Bog Witch sells weapons or armor. She does not—her shop is entirely focused on crafting materials and consumables. Another misconception is that her stock is infinite; in reality, she has a limited stock that restocks after a few in-game days. If you buy all of a certain item, you’ll need to wait for it to restock.
Also, some players think the rested buff from her hut lasts forever. It does not—it lasts only as long as a normal rested buff (around 10 minutes). You’ll need to re-enter the hut to refresh it.
Costs and Currency
All purchases are made with coins, which you can find in chests, from enemies, or by selling items to Haldor. There is no discount for buying in bulk, and prices are fixed. To make the most of your coins, prioritize buying items that are hard to find in the wild, like Yggdrasil Wood and Soft Tissue, which are only found in the Mistlands.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the Bog Witch?
You need to explore the Swamp biome. Her hut is randomly placed, but it’s usually near a large tree or a body of water. Look for a small wooden hut with a thatched roof. You’ll know you’re close when you see a green glow from the cauldron inside.
Does the Bog Witch sell the same items every day?
No, her rotating items change daily (in-game days). The always-available items remain the same, but the decorative and consumable items change. If you’re looking for a specific rotating item, you may need to wait several days.
Can I teleport with items bought from the Bog Witch?
Yes, all items from the Bog Witch can be teleported, unlike some other rare materials (like Black Metal). This makes her a convenient source of materials for building and crafting.
Is the rested buff from the Bog Witch’s hut better than a maxed-out home base?
No, a fully upgraded home base with multiple comfort items can give a much higher comfort level (up to 18 or more). The Bog Witch’s hut gives a comfort level of 2, which is decent early-game but not end-game.
What is the best item to buy from the Bog Witch?
It depends on your needs. If you’re in the Mistlands, Yggdrasil Wood and Soft Tissue are essential for crafting. If you’re farming, the seeds and vegetables are useful. For combat, the Bug Repellent is handy in the Plains.
