My guess is they can drop between 0 and 4 . I had a field of 10 oaks which became 10 again, than 6, and now 4. My feeling is tree seeds drop at about 25% or so, with variation in that.

This never happened to me.

Where do you people get the 40% this, 50% that... ???

Like Guns said... it's prolly RNG.

I would assume from the Valheim wiki:
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Oak

its a seasonal thing. lol

check ure almanac for planting and harvesting

I seem to get some to start, almost every other oak, but if I don't plant them I hardly get any more.
The ones I plant drop seeds a lot less than wild trees.
Probably just my RNG

Maybe I've been lucky... every fifth tree or so will drop three acorns. :/

That's about what I get, too.

Oak trees have 40% to drop acorns (always 2 acorns in a drop). It also have 50% for 2-3 drops, meaning you can get up to 6 acorns from one tree if you are extremely lucky. I got it twice.

Acorns are VERY rare. Unfortunately. I wish IG would up the drop rate a bit. Just a bit. C'mon...

I could plant an entire forest out of beech trees. They drop too much! So take a bit of beech and give it to oak and I'm happy. :)

Yeah. I actually mark the locations of all oak trees on my map and I avoid cutting them down unless it's a dire emergency. If I need fine wood I'll go farm some from the Plains or grab a few Birch from the Meadows. I think I've gotten 4 acorns from the oak trees I have had to cut down. Beech trees on the other hand... I have a lumber farm and I pretty much either break even or come out ahead on beech seeds when I harvest.

Beech seeds and fir pine cones seem to have a drop rate of about 20%. Birch seeds and pine cones seem to have a drop rate of 10%. Acorn drop rate seems to be about 5%. If you are after fine wood you are better off cutting down birch trees and you'll get more seeds for replanting. I only use acorns to plant oak trees for decorative purposes.

Valheim trees drop less seeds than trees. Your farms will always deplete, so it's necessary to go hunting for more trees.

Not too much of a fan of it, I mean what are the bees even doing?

They're stingy.
