[grim bay]

it also has fire resist so you dont get too recked by shamans in the plains, gjalls in the mistlands, and all the fire in the ashlands

[shy marlin]

Well and if you don't need the extra armor heavy armor provides, fenris set is just better for your playstyle

[grim bay]

i still wish the upgrade system was actually good to make these earlier armors still be relevant beyond their tier

[gray sand]

Oh, my pitch for that has been declared insanity multiple times over.

[snow flicker]

im in the mistlands right now, not too afraid of gjalls. theyre just noisy and slightly intimidating

[grim bay]

i mean if you do get hit by them you're gonna take alot of damage

i bring fire resist to there just in case

my last playthrough i only died 4 times and my bud only died 3 times and 2 of his deaths were from gjalls

[snow flicker]

most of my deaths in the mist are from infested mines

just an overwhelmingly amount of insect in there

[grim bay]

thats why i dont use maces anymore ngl

id rather just kill my problems than save them for later by pushing them away as more and more come at me

[azure yacht]

They are

[shy marlin]

Root harnesk doesn't depend on being upgraded for it to be good

[grim bay]

sometimes, pretty much just the root chestpeice

idky they didnt make the upgrades for the other crafting systems like the cooking upgrades, 1 per biome for every biome

[azure yacht]

Because there's no need

[snow flicker]

i feel like itd be fun to imbue skoll and hati with individual elements lol
fire for one frost for the other

[mint blade]

is there a way i can afk safely for my crops to grow? last time a troll raid happened and my entire base got destroyed

[zealous granite]

I'm not sure if there's a way other than turning off raids or destroying every workbench I believe...?

I think raids happens if there's workbenches nearby
But at that point, just hop onto your World Modifiers and turn raids off for when you want to AFK, me and my partner did that a lot

[azure yacht]

Build walls around it

[zealous granite]

Walls won't stop trolls 😆

[azure yacht]

Lure them away

[gray sand]

Turn raids off 🤷‍♂️

[light moat]

Ballistas?

[light moat]

Or rather, if you must- can you afk in a dungeon and return to your base after some time has passed? Crops don’t need you to be near them to grow.

[zealous granite]

That's an option too, didn't even think about it

[gray sand]

Raids track how long you've been away, so returning may still trigger it.

[cosmic summit]

Anyone know the obliterater exchange rate for black metal?

[light moat]

Ahh gotcha. Well, at least he wouldn’t be afk 😂

[mint blade]

how

[mint blade]

oh yeah i can thanks

[noble axle]

they are - almost all armor is viable everywhere tbh

[noble axle]

0, Obliterator only gives coal

[cosmic summit]

Yes, of this I am aware. If I dump an iron chest worth of black metal into it how many coal will I get?

[noble axle]

72 (if u are talking about Reinforced chest)

[gray sand]

Before you load into your world there is a "World Modifiers" button.
You can turn raids off.

[cosmic summit]

I sailed a longship full of black metal home without realizing it's basically trash.

[noble axle]

It's pretty useful tho 🤨 unless u literally don't need it for anything else

[cosmic summit]

I have everything I'll need it for.

[mint blade]

oh nah i don’t wanna cheat but ty

[gray sand]

It's not a devcommand nor a mod.. it's a built-in world option.
But you do you 🤷‍♂️

[shy marlin]

Customizing your experience so that you enjoy the game more = cheating

[static ruin]

Find a small island to place a portal with just one workbench on. Make it your AFK island.

I do mean small, essentially you want any potential spawns to be in water.

[vital umbra]

🧐

[static ruin]

Worst case, you die and need to go reset up the portal - not a big deal.

I've not had any issues just AFKing for 1-2 hours like this, though.

[noble axle]

just turn off raids if u are worried about them

[static ruin]

Also idk why this would be impossible. Just have static singular enchants for elements per combo hit, to represent which weapon is applying what.

[light moat]

I think I cheated 😭

[lunar sapphire]

Hacks. Sackable offense

[shy marlin]

I am also guilty of making my own experience more enjoyable 😢

[static ruin]

I mean, you can like raids and still not want to deal with the aftermath after an AFK. I don't think the solution had to be "turn off raids." I can see why someone would feel like it's cheating, even if you don't agree.

Not that different from how some people will think bringing good gear from another world is cheating, but others won't.

[smoky knot]

so is bog witch the new end game boss?

was the bug queen last i played

[shy marlin]

bog witch is a trader

last boss in the game atm is the ashlands boss

[smoky knot]

ok thanks

with limited spoilers is she worth finding?

im assuming she spawns in the swamp

[shy marlin]

yes she is very much worth finding

probably the most valuable trader

[smoky knot]

worth finding how early?

like pre moder?

[shy marlin]

sometime during swamp age ye i think

[median herald]

does revealing the map disable acheivements

[shy marlin]

there are no achievements so... (at this moment in time)

[cosmic summit]

popping ore veins and giant stones is pretty satisfiying, but i just did it with a giants brain and it made me a bit nauseous

[livid prawn]

I just joined to hopeful help someone get their items back. I joined a public server(won't say which) and a griefer had spawned hundreds of blobs and other mobs at spawn. I removed them, repaired some damage and did a bit of griefer proofing. If anyone here has these characters or knows someone who has them the server is safe now and the items may be retrieved from your tombstones:
ELEN
JAKA
ENDER
KATE
PONY

[vocal rivet]

There are no public servers. Are you sure you have the correct game?

[livid prawn]

A server in which the pw is stated.

[vocal rivet]

Well, that's their own fault then really.

[livid prawn]

....^ why I don't join Discord servers like this... U_U Anyway, Peace. o/

[vocal rivet]

We don't recommend people play with people they don't know. What's wrong with that?

Heh. That's on me, I guess.

man... I want the new update :V

Get comfortable it’s gonna be a while

[static ruin]

s q u i s h

[wintry valve]

also I wish weather would follow... I dunno how to say that, but "systems" that moves around rather than being biome based

its super weird to have a storm that turns on and off just because you alternate between meadow and black forest, for instance

[static ruin]

The game is already CPU intensive, and adding something like this is more to track. It'd be neat, but for the value you actually get idk if it's worth it.

[wintry valve]

Im sure theres a way to make it work

What I would do is use that little gimmick that makes clouds appear on the map. By adding more "pictures" to it, you could make the players client know when its a storm or not if they are under an angry cloud or something.

[gleaming girder]

such a great logic

[vocal rivet]

Hm?

[wintry valve]

Who wins?
A spear user, or a putrid pile?

[shy marlin]

Thought it was an obvious joke 😔

An 11th cart.

I have a chicken coop

[rotund bay]

a pig pen?

or mabye another chicken coop
you can never have too many eggs

[pliant radish]

I don't think theres pigs

[noble axle]

@shy marlin I was inspired by ur reverse video and I wanted to try it myself.. and you make it look so much easier than it really is. From getting to the Ashlands, than the fortress was a nightmare since they all jumped me when I got on top of the tower, and than the Fader fight. During the Fader boss fight I died a few times but I got it in the end 🙂

[sinful fulcrum]

is the world gen webpage working for anyone?

[vocal rivet]

You mean the seed viewer?

[mossy glacier]

Planning to take on ||Sealed Tower||, which one will do best ||"Thundering berserker axes"|| or ||"Staff of wild"||??

[azure yacht]

axes

[noble axle]

either will work, axes prob better tho

[merry pebble]

It will be quite easy with either of them 🙂

[mossy glacier]

Easily done using axes & flametal armor.

thanks

What is the use of upgrading TrollStav if it just increase +100 Durability by using 3 precious bloodstones?

[light moat]

There is no use really

[merry pebble]

Well the durability is nice but mostly not needed 🙂 so yep, pretty much none (but something inside me is happy when i see fully upgraded gear :D)

[mossy glacier]

😄 I will save bloodstones in case North region update needs them.

[light moat]

The completionist within me drives me to have everything max 😂

@merry pebble How’s your playthrough going?

[merry pebble]

Im on a bit of a pause, too much stuff in school 🙂 hoping to get some stuff done over weekend, probably gonna go find Yag

[light moat]

Gotcha, understood! Me and my buddy have been getting crazy lucky. We found Yags altar yesterday, managed to defeat him. Super excited, my friend has never been to the mistlands 👀

[merry pebble]

Niiiice 😄 Lets see what he will say about the hot air baloons there xD

[tiny tiger]

Oo I wonder how he will find it

[sinful fulcrum]

yeah I meant that hehe

[vocal rivet]

Then no, it seems fine to me.

[cosmic summit]

Is there any in-game explanation as to why giant brains and tree sap make plutonium?

[merry pebble]

Magic 😄

[vocal rivet]

There's no plutonium in the game, so no.

[cosmic summit]

The emissions from eitr are pretty obviously modeled after radiation

[vocal rivet]

Well, if you're prepared to make that up, then you're able to make up some suitable lore.

[ancient agate]

Do small balls of elemental energy sparking off of a different glowing orb resemble radiation exclusively? To me, it's no more/less similar to drops of grease coming off a hot pan

[merry pebble]

I would say more actually, since radiation cannot be seen 🙂

[cosmic summit]

Modeled after

[vocal rivet]

Almost certainly not.

[tacit crystal]

Save also 3 Jades from upgrading Staff of the Wild, as upgrading it doesn't affect to the damage roots deal.

[near summit]

hi!!!

[sonic frost]

Started a server with 10 friends on G-portal and its lagging really hard when we are near eachother, anybody else experience this?

[merry pebble]

Well, with that many people the connection will always be an issue if you all don't have quite good internet connection.

[sonic frost]

Shouldnt at least the people with good internet connections not be lagging?

[merry pebble]

Not really, the player who enters a zone first becomes "chunk master" and as far as i understand it all the data Is sent through him, meaning it depends on the chunk masters connection.

[near furnace]

yes

usually people with WIFI is the problem

but 10 people can cause multiple lag problems depending on who is the chunk master

[sonic frost]

Hmm thats weird, never heard of a game being like that but I see. Is there any way to have some sort of control over it?

[merry pebble]

Only thing i can advise Is to let the player with fastest and most stable connection enter portals first and generally lead the exploration if you are going as a group

[near furnace]

not really atm. Game is still in early access with multiple updates coming in the future

[sonic frost]

makes sense, guessing the same would work when entering dungeons etc

[merry pebble]

Yep

[sonic frost]

Alright, thanks gamers, will see if it gets better 🫡

[pliant radish]

I'm on a dedicated server and I have good internet but as soon as I'm near anybody else theres a delay of at least half a second, sometimes up to a second for everything I interact with

[smoky knot]

In Epic loot mod I assume "waterproof" on cape just works for rain?

[foggy glacier]

that's a question for #mods-discussion

[crude shell]

someone know why the onion soup dispawn after been crafted?

[pliant radish]

are you making 5 at a time

[crude shell]

what do you mean?

[pliant radish]

if you have enough ingredients you can craft items 5 at a time by holding shift

[crude shell]

no they just dispawn they dont go in my inventory

i crafted like 15 in one time but after that i get this bug

[jolly sage]

is there any reason not to enhance ashlands weapons?

aside from upgrading cost being flametal instead of gems?

[nocturne wolf]

You can get flametal weapons to level 3 for more durability, gemstone weapons can only reach level 2.

[jolly sage]

what about damage?

[nocturne wolf]

The gemstone weapons will be a little better for damage

[gilded gust]

I like how red dead 2 at max settings performs better than valheim thanks devs

[gray sand]

You joined the server just to say that?

[vocal rivet]

Imagine that, a AAA game that's been out for years performs better than a newer indie game still in development.

[gray sand]

(Also you're talking about game made on a proprietary engine designed specifically for that kind of game vs. Unity)

[gilded gust]

are we really defending poor optimization which hasn't changed for years 😭

[gilded gust]

yeah I think last time I was here ts got hacked

[gray sand]

Are you really not understanding how game development works at all?

[gilded gust]

nah and idc tbh, they just need to optimize this game

dont go all discord mod on me plz its not that deep

[gray sand]

You cared enough to join the server specifically to start this conversation...
So "idc" is a lie.

[vocal rivet]

I mean, that's just an outright lie.

[runic spoke]

tfw you wanna build your base but it rains for days, stops raining for 1 day but you get raided and then after that mess is over you got to bed and now it's super foggy

[hidden gorge]

baiters gonna bait

[gray sand]

I like building during rain because you can repair some of it after putting the roof on and get a very easy 2-tone color between rained wood and fresh wood.

[cosmic summit]

How hard is it to live in the mistlands? I'm thinking of setting up a small base there

[runic spoke]

I'm getting about 270fps on 1440p max on this game

[runic spoke]

o that's cool

I want my ground to be super flat so I like to be able to see clearly xD

[gray sand]

I would recommend sleeping during the night so you don't have 2 star gjall spawns.

[runic spoke]

there's probably a better technique I don't know of but currently I just hover 2x2 wood platforms all over and check for imperfections and raise/lower the ground before attempting to level again

it's quite tedious but the result becomes really nice

[gray sand]

Tedious? In a game founded on tedium?
Say it ain't so.... 😏

[vapid rapids]

How much performance would be gained realistically by running a modded Valheim on a server?

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[vapid rapids]

Perfectly normal question to ask here

[gray sand]

Modding question.
So #mods-discussion

[vapid rapids]

It's a server to client performance question.

[gray sand]

About and with regards to mods.
So #mods-discussion

[vapid rapids]

The same question can be asked about unmodded. The question is still the same.

[gray sand]

It cannot, as "modded Valheim" is central to the question.
So #mods-discussion

[vapid rapids]

Ok. How much performance can realistically be gained by using a dedicated server.

Feel better now?

[vocal rivet]

Sass is unecessary.

[gray sand]

No, because now you're not being fully honest about the question.

[vapid rapids]

As I said, still the same question.

[gray sand]

It is not. Because you're purposefully omitting crucial information.

[vocal rivet]

I don't even understand the question. What are you hoping to gain performance over?

[vapid rapids]

Not even sure I can. Most of the performance is lost over light sources.

Look at the light sources and you go from 70-100 fps to about 30-40

So whether it would do anything is in the wind.

[lost sentinel]

is it actually time efficient to collapse a whole copper deposit opposed to just grabbing the surface

[light moat]

Ehhh I don’t think so, personally. I think it’s better to just mine it normally.

[near furnace]

agreed

[pliant radish]

I think performance is pretty good in this game except when it comes to farming animals

chickens always tank my performance even when theres only like 10 of them

Other than that I rarely encounter issues with fps

[trail pelican]

i think it's not so much time as MATERIAL efficient--it helps me at least feel like i'm not leaving any metal behind to carve it out completely (as much as terrain limtis allow) and see it pop

[runic spoke]

what about having a giant smash the area for you

[trail pelican]

hard to say, they probs break it faster than your likely available tools at that stage, but at the same time you also have to spend time dodging and trying to line up hits

[runic spoke]

btw does their two handed attack/overhead deal more damage than their normal swing

[nocturne wolf]

With a log, it deals 10 more blunt damage overhead, but the pickaxe damage is the same.
Unarmed, the melee hitboxes for both melee attacks and the throw have the same pickaxe damage, but the overhead attack's AOE instance deals 50 pickaxe damage so it's significantly stronger.

[wide topaz]

I took a look at the spawn zones wiki page and realised why my mistlands biome never seemed to have any monsters in it. Apparently all mistlands enemy spawners need to be 'full', and the little slither of mistlands I found is only half-zones at most. Wild.

weird to think then that if you have a sliver of mistlands biome surrounded by ocean, it's the only fully safe land in the game outside of events

[runic spoke]

btw when it comes to damage types, when I'm the one being hit does it matter what type they have if I have 0 resistances

like will 90 pierce and 90 blunt do the same damage to me if I just have 40 armour

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, there’s only a difference when you have resistances or weaknesses

[runic spoke]

cool cool

[zinc wedge]

Hi, can anyone guide me as to how I can use server file save file in single player?

[runic spoke]

idk anything about servers but if the server save files are the same as normal ones can't you just put them in the worlds_local folder in AppData/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim?

I'm just applying minecraft logic to this tho

[zinc wedge]

I did move the files from world_local to local but they don't seem to picking up in single player

[acoustic temple]

do people find that boars DO spawn near / around the runestones that mention the boars?

[gray sand]

Sometimes. Not always.

[acoustic temple]

hmmm

trying to find a 2 star

[gray sand]

Further you get from spawn, higher chance.

[acoustic temple]

oh really?!

[vapid rapids]

There's such an abundance of boars everywhere I can't imagine looking for something much more rare specifically to get them

[acoustic temple]

for my farm 🙂

[gray sand]

iirc they also can't star too close to spawn unless they are next to a lorestone.

[vocal rivet]

800m

[nimble moss]

My understanding is It’s only the initial batch. They don’t specifically respawn there (other than by chance like all places)

[acoustic temple]

damn!

[regal spoke]

Day or night we can find 2* animals?

[radiant pulsar]

Depends what you are hunting - Wolves and Asksvin definitely night ONLY but boars, deers, etc day and night - I would Google the animal you are wanting to avoid disappointment

[regal spoke]

Thanks that works. I know I've seen 2* boar and deer in the day for sure. Ofc wolves are only at night.

[radiant pulsar]

The bigger the teeth and harder they hit = NIGHT lol

[regal spoke]

Heh lox too? Big plant eater chompers and all

[radiant pulsar]

LOL I dont think Lox are ever starred

[regal spoke]

Rip. Good to know thanks

[radiant pulsar]

And Valkyries arent either

Morgen 2* hits like a truck

[regal spoke]

Ya know. I don't think I've seen starred Drake

[radiant pulsar]

Nor I

[regal spoke]

No star morgen hit pretty hard too. Ofc I'm not in high armor Ash gear.

[radiant pulsar]

Yeah they hurt until you are better acquainted with the biome

[regal spoke]

Id imagine. I've resorted to avoiding hits and whittling down

[radiant pulsar]

Yeah been there - now I dont run anymore lol

[regal spoke]

Kinda cool how the game forces adaptation of play style.

[radiant pulsar]

For funsies - build a pit and jump in - they jump in after you and you run out - then you can parry swordmen into the pit for a WWE tournament lol

[acoustic temple]

wheeeere

[nocturne wolf]

The morgen swipe hitbox only reaches a few (2.4 I think) metres off the ground and covers a 60° angle with no turnspeed so it can be easily dodged

[regal spoke]

Jumped 😉

[radiant pulsar]

I really find parrying easier than dodging - I wish I could roll better

[regal spoke]

I've seen 2* boar close to spawn on fresh runs. But as said before. The further you go from spawn, the higher the likelihood

[nocturne wolf]

Against any attack with a small enough hitbox, jumping is better than rolling

[radiant pulsar]

Ahhhh ok cool

[nocturne wolf]

It costs less stamina, you move better and you can start an attack while dodging that way

[radiant pulsar]

Ive always gone parry/double damage

[radiant pulsar]

But for 2* Morgen and Seeker Soldiers I think your approach is safer lol

[regal spoke]

I'm just recently trying to incorporate jump into my combat. Thanks Blob

Dash is also a valid tech. I've been strike baiting since launch

[radiant pulsar]

Yeah I saw a Chinese player dodge and dash like a pro - twas really artistic

The guy that did the no map hardcore one life run to Ashlands

[regal spoke]

Feels good but a little cheesy if I'm being honest. Just have to lean into their range enough and dash out/around

[radiant pulsar]

If cheesey keeps you alive.........its better than the 5% loss

Actually thanks to both of you with jump, dash and roll

I will take that on board

[regal spoke]

Where can I find this guy. No map hardcore is another level of masochist I have experience

[radiant pulsar]

Can we post links on here?

I dont wanna offend

[regal spoke]

You're welcome. It's this incredible community I owe much of my combat experience for

[radiant pulsar]

Its 29 hours real time and he speaks in Chinese yet but he puts texts on screen in English for key strategies he's using - its an amazing watch

[regal spoke]

If you can throw a search phrase nudge, I can work from there

[radiant pulsar]

I was gonna say - brb

[regal spoke]

Bet. Appreciate you

[radiant pulsar]

Search - "29h solo deathless run" (no quotes) - I asked him a Q and he replied really nicely

He has one playlist containing all the videos....

I cant imagine no map

[regal spoke]

Will do. Thanks a lot.

[radiant pulsar]

Np

[regal spoke]

I can school you on no map if you're interested

[cobalt canyon]

Keep a recording so you can retrace your steps

[radiant pulsar]

I know theres at least 2 approaches but its Mistlands that can put you off track because its hard to keep straight

[regal spoke]

Paths are a thing. But I can teach how to maintain cardinal direction from spawn and onwards

[radiant pulsar]

is it the place workbench direction thing?

Like see Vesivigr then line up your build icon?

Or are you using the big tree in the sky?

Or both? lol

[regal spoke]

Not just bench. But yes. A build piece that you can discern a direction on

[signal bloom]

Does anyone know if you can use Tamed Askvins to collect flametal from spires that's fallen into the lava? or does the flametal sink too far?

[radiant pulsar]

I would love to use the tree properly

[regal spoke]

Also two other major things. Elder stone at spawn is always north. World tree is east to west. Sun rises and sets just south of tree east to west

[cobalt canyon]

Is the sunrise using proper direction - is there even a sun in this game? I don't explicity remember seeing a sun

[regal spoke]

Okay that's three lol

[radiant pulsar]

Im gonna copy your text if you dont mind THANK YOU

[cobalt canyon]

Do the traders always face the same direction?

[regal spoke]

The sun exists and is trackable. A sun dial is even a potential.

[radiant pulsar]

They are hellish hard to steer - also they may wander - they dont have commands like wolves so I prefer a different approach - Flametal ore floats in lava anyways

There is a cheese to them like the Leviathans but thats down to the individual and or game settings

[signal bloom]

flametal floats!?

[cobalt canyon]

Wouldn't want to try & find Bog Witch without map markers

[radiant pulsar]

Did when I played with gf - NOTE: The ore floats - I havent tried throwing smelted metal into lava lol

[signal bloom]

i don't mind riding the Askvins, it's just when you dismount they just run away which is so annoying

[radiant pulsar]

So if it drops - in most cases you can pick it up without Asksvin

[signal bloom]

how lava almost insta kills, no?

[regal spoke]

Cool things about tree. The east end always seems to touch horizon. Where as west has an end to it. As you go further west it becomes evident. Also the branches on it that face north and south can be utilized as distance trackers and reference to east and west from their positions. If you look up and memorize your position to the tree from spawn, it gets easy to find your way home

[signal bloom]

I don't trust those basalt bombs lol, I try to limit my use of them...

[regal spoke]

I've got trust issues with those bombs myself

[radiant pulsar]

Make a save and try jumping over gaps where you touch the lava once - in flametal armour I can jump three times without catching fire

[signal bloom]

I had one come up, and I clipped through it when I jumped straight on the middle of it, then was trapped underneath it

[radiant pulsar]

The bombs are ok for 25-30 secs

[regal spoke]

Desync is fun

[radiant pulsar]

lol you must be a Assassins Creed player

Every pillar has a base - you dont actually mine using the bombs - they are just your get out of jail card

[regal spoke]

Any online game builds this experience. Cod, destiny, etc

[radiant pulsar]

Im copying this too - thank you again

[signal bloom]

Looks like I gotta craft myself some flametal armor and go lava diving lol. I've been stuck on the Askvin armor cause it's amazing!

[radiant pulsar]

Oh that must be bad RNG

"How I played 5000hrs of Valheim - I simply removed the map feature" 😉

[regal spoke]

Getting lost is easy lol

[radiant pulsar]

Ahhhh and if you use one plane like the East line then if you had say 2 bases and 3 POIs along this line you could make notes etc and return - same with the other directions

Kinda makes sense

[regal spoke]

Exactly. Making paths from spawn is good starter practice. Helps learn to maintain direction. Then drawing from those principles when crossing water

[radiant pulsar]

Its the working out the distancing that I think Id find hard

[regal spoke]

Tree

Hence remembering your position to tree from spawn

[radiant pulsar]

Gotcha

[regal spoke]

[radiant pulsar]

I guess you could practice in a mapped world - like see how the tree looks at spawn and how it looks half a world radius away etc

[regal spoke]

Absolutely

[radiant pulsar]

Can deffo see the attraction

[regal spoke]

It was the build piece trick to find bosses that was a little interesting to incorporate

[radiant pulsar]

Can imagine

[regal spoke]

Oh it's really fun challenge. I say it's Valheim at its best

I'm still not pro at combat. So hardcore is out of the question

[radiant pulsar]

Yeah losing everything would be hard

[regal spoke]

We played where skills and inventory were wiped

With iirc drop rates and something else lessened lol

[radiant pulsar]

Jeeez

[noble axle]

if u guys really want to cross the lava (not really recommended without basalt bombs) u can use Fenris armor + Lightfood Mead + Tonic of Ratatosk + || Fader ||Power

[radiant pulsar]

The devs have done a great job in making the game so you can tailor to your own abilities - I play everything on normal with gf and normal but hard enemies on solo

Most of the pillars are pretty close to land thankfully

[regal spoke]

Nice call out rej.

They really have made the game moldable

[radiant pulsar]

I think out of 8 pillars we have got - ||5 were jumpable and the other three involved just touching the lava once||

I really should spoiler free more

Right - I needa go - thanks for the chat and info Nutty 🙂 ....and also the lava trick rej

[regal spoke]

Good ethic. But most just talk freely anymore

Likewise. Take it easy

[shy marlin]

read this and didn't believe it, so went and tested myself and wow lol, huge tech dude ty for sharing!

[noble axle]

🙂

[misty cloak]

Yo, is there a way to adjust metal drop rates? Just a bit too much grind for a fourth playthrough lol

[noble axle]

world modifiers tab before u load up the world and u can change the drop rate up to 3x (but it changes drop rates for almost everything)

[misty cloak]

Hmmm, eh it'll be fine, ty

[noble axle]

I think 1.5 is honestly good enough

[light moat]

Me and a friend play on 1.5, and it’s pretty comfy

[misty cloak]

Real, it might be in part because I hate the copper grind lol

[noble axle]

just get a troll to wack all of the copper

[misty cloak]

Real lol. Half the time I use them to skip eikthyr

[regal spoke]

But sooo much is left below. Two nodes of copper and some tin goes a long way

[noble axle]

🤷 if u wanna spend all that time go for it I guess

[regal spoke]

I grab helmet, axe, bench upgrades, karve, sometimes b.pick. What's that honestly one node (120ish). I clear one node in the time a troll clears 4-5 exposed caps. Rough time estimate

[noble axle]

does the copper deposit go down as far as silver veins when u pop them or no?? I've heard it goes down infinitely and many other answers but idk for certain since I never tried to mine all of the copper from 1

[regal spoke]

No. Massive rock. Picture maximum dig depth in some scenarios.

If you want to pop them that is.

[noble axle]

hmm ok makes sense

[regal spoke]

I dig a perimeter out until I think I'm level with the bottom. Then just clear it.

Dwarves get annoying. Set fires and keep a bench and a couple boxes close

[shy marlin]

thought you meant dvergrs for a sec and was giga confused lol

[regal spoke]

They are a type of dwarf huh

[shy marlin]

greydwarves and dvergr are very different

[somber sedge]

did i read correctly, that you can use the harpoon to 'fish' items out of the water like serpent scales?

[mossy glacier]

But the fandom wiki says it increases damage by upgrading staff of the wild.

[shy marlin]

Wiki isn't always right

[mossy glacier]

Have you tested damage numbers before and after upgrading?

[shy marlin]

no but Joelkkii is usually right and I trust him

and valheim tooltips are generally scuffed as hell and this is a case of it

[wintry valve]

it can be in certain circumstances. I dont know the name of the tool but theres some kind of chamber that ionizes the gases that has ions going through

I also thought the refiner thing looked like it was emitting radioactive particles

[mossy glacier]

Direct hit increases damage from 11-13 to 40-46, but tentacles don't(112-126) so upgrading won't help much! 😢

[wintry valve]

it does increases durability, and as I understand, its a wand you use a lot

[tacit crystal]

Correct, upgrading the staff increases the damage of the projectile it shoots, but the damage the summoned roots deal is affected by Elemental magic skill level. So it's not necessary to upgrade the staff as you want to rely on the roots dealing the damage.

[meager orbit]

hey im looking for someone to just chill and help me build a house, the creativity juices arnt flowing today

[pulsar mortar]

Is there a way to copy friend's world and play in it solo? Like he will sent me a save file and I will place it in steam folder?

[autumn pebble]

That should work and you could also try to join your friends world and then click save on esc menu? Might work that way also but i'm not sure.

[tacit crown]

Yeah, you just gotta put the two files in the worlds_local at C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

[pulsar mortar]

Thanks

[near furnace]

@flint knot don't try to post hidden links 😛

[tardy mirage]

The farming skill is an absolutely incredible mechanical change in the game, it offers quality of life, progression and is synchronous with the gameplay loop. The bog witch update has made the side content of the game so much better.

[flint knot]

Don’t know about you but I think raids deserve a bit of love in late game

raids are really fun at the start of the game, there's always a thrill when the greydwarfs, trolls or draugrs arrive (special mention to the wolf hunt which is the most fun and well made event in Valheim in my humble opinion...it's a generator of funny and dangerous situations when you're on the level, #valheim-chat message).

The problem is that all these events don't scale at all, past the plains there's no thrill to be found anymore in the raids, they've lost the scare factor of the early days (the misltands and ashlands raids seem a little weak by difficulty comparison to the early raids) and above all, almost all the old raids remain active, so that you only have a raid at your effective level once in 5 times, and the raids become more boring events than real, surprising challenges.
(so in fact even being able to increase raids in world settings at this level doesn't interest us since it increases the number of useless raids we're going to have and doesn't make them more difficult)

I've got stacks of bones, wolf skin and mud piling up in my chests, and I must admit I don't take any pleasure in just drawing my sword and slamming blindly to one-shot anything that comes my way.
I don't feel like I'm being attacked anymore, I feel like all these monsters are just impaled themselves on my sword.

[tardy mirage]

I think you're right - I think raids could be made better with super-raids where you construct a raid altar and tribute some trophies to call a specific super-raid which is significantly challenging and offers high level enemies in large numbers, and lets you test your defences. It really fit with the game as Odin is expecting you to prove yourself after all..

Gonna pop that in the suggestions chat actually

[near furnace]

#suggestions and/or #suggestion-discussion is a good place for ideas 🤔

[tardy mirage]

Just popped that in, thanks 🙂

[flint knot]

ah ok thanks, I'm often a bit confused to where my messages should go 😄

[normal vine]

[tender oak]

Hey guys I just got valheim and I’d like some people to play together with to help me learn

[azure yacht]

#1024264966712340510

[tender oak]

Ah thanks

[royal acorn]

what does the recycle emoji mean in suggestions chat

[charred rune]

Disabled raids altogether in my world. They became an annoyance very quickly instead of being either challenging or rewarding.

[cinder plaza]

Id like to see Raids become more rewarding, maybe a Boss type raid where the minions come then a Uber challenging mini boss comes that drops some nice ores or High value items.

[grave rose]

Q) Newbie here. Just got the game and I know close to nothing about it (just thats its a survivial game). I don't want to play solo, but I have no friends. Are there newbie-friendly servers? (I dont mean "easy" difficulty... but just some social activitiy)

[tacit crystal]

That the proposed idea has been suggested before (in some other similar forms too).

[royal acorn]

ok thank you

[charred rune]

#1024264966712340510

[weary egret]

im planning on building my first island base, im gonna cover all of it with base structures, should i still build walls around it?

[merry pebble]

I don't think you will need to, but if you can make them look good they certainly can't hurt 🙂

[weary egret]

i think the ocean looks good also

[merry pebble]

You will see if any enemies can get near, then you can decide if you will add it or not 🙂

[queen nimbus]

Heya,a bout to start a new playthrough since game release, what's cool mods atm?

I suppose there are some cool ones since release :D

[nocturne wolf]

You'll get better answers in #mods-discussion

[spice coyote]

who have seed forneasy find the merchant ?

[foggy glacier]

did you ask in #1202740443352137838 ?

[shy mantle]

Gonna be honest, think imma abandon this game because of the amount of bullshit im seeing. Trying to get back my stuff in the swamp, its in shallow water, but cant because theres a leech ON both my main and recovery boats, and a draugr next to my stuff refusing to move or chase me

Never used to encounter such nonsense when I played a year or so ago

[light moat]

Do you have high quality food at base? Maybe some good mead too?

Take it slow; set up a return portal, bring portal materials to make a safe return safe trip, eat quality food and get your rested buff, prepare some poison resist mead.

You have all the time you need to get your stuff back (nothing despawns) so take advantage of that 🙂

[shy mantle]

I guess I'll give it a go a bit more prepared. I had my return portal on my character when I originally died, now I gotta take a third ship there

[light moat]

You got this

[normal vine]

there's something magical about the mistlands soundtrack, listening to it always reminds me of morrowind

[light moat]

Also, if the death penalty is too harsh for, you can dial it back in the modifiers so you at least retain your equipped gear.

[shy mantle]

No no, it's a mix of incomplete game bugs and skill issue, I'll make it work

[tiny tiger]

Did you die to poison from a leech

[misty cloak]

If i may, the hoe is your BEST friend in the swamp

[shy mantle]

Yea, they swarmed my gear and also got onto BOTH my boats

I can usually dodge fine, but this was just a cluster fuck

[tiny tiger]

Yeah swamps can definitely get pretty rough

[shy mantle]

Imo it's by far the hardest biome relatively

[normal vine]

strategize, learn from your mistakes, don't get cocky, and make sure you always have a backup plan

[misty cloak]

Establish fob, hoe paths above the water

[tiny tiger]

Huge step up from meadows and Black Forest for sure, the constant rain and wet debuff are something overlooked frequently

[normal vine]

even with those in mind, the swamp is still fairly easy if you're careful

[tiny tiger]

2 star draugr archer from nowhere would like to have a word with you

[normal vine]

i just don't attack those if i see them

if i have to, single them out and then dodge all their shots

it's tricky because they can't be staggered with bronze tier weapons

[light moat]

Swamp is a pretty rough stage

[tiny tiger]

And if they spawn in a crypt they’re a huge pain in the ass

[sour furnace]

Swamp is deff one of the hardest biomes, simply because the terrain makes it very hard to run away(easy to do in ashlands) and there's no very good cheese options(like magic or frost arrows in the mists)

[misty cloak]

Am I the only one that hoes paths through any swamp I'm in?

[runic spoke]

I hoe as well

[plush umbra]

and i don't run from battles in the first place, you tend to attract more enemies than you shake off, better to deal with them when the numbers are still low.

[tacit crystal]

"You won't get anything done hoeing like that"

[tiny tiger]

I only really use the hoe for the boneless arena

[wintry valve]

Will we have more build pieces in the future? I wouldnt say no to stuff liek grausten column spikes, or half height walls

[merry pebble]

I am fairly certain we will get quite a lot of new build pieces in deep north (they even showed one in the dev blog) but if we will get more grausten pieces... we have no idea

[wintry valve]

A friend of mine is under the impression that once all is done, they might revisit previous areas and just add more stuff there

[merry pebble]

#general message

[azure yacht]

The fact that we've been progressively having them so far should answer you

[wintry valve]

it... doesnt

but thanks anyway

[merry pebble]

Well with each new biome we've got loads of new bild pieces, it would be strange if we didnt get new ones with deep north 😅

[wintry valve]

Its not what I meant.

Wait... did new biomes add built pieces with previous materials?

[merry pebble]

No, but that was not the question 🙂

Well. Some did actually

[wintry valve]

Its precisely what I am asking though

[merry pebble]

"Will we have more build pieces in the future?"

You didnt specify those pieces being from materials we have already

[wintry valve]

you know what, if you come here and tell me what I meant with my questions, I dont think its worth talking further about this

[merry pebble]

Oh, i did not tell you what you meant, what you have written was just something different from what you meant 😅 thus the missunderstanding me and Rianu had

[wintry wigeon]

Hi, do you know when the 1.0 update for the game is due?

[light moat]

Nope, we don’t have any real timeline at the moment.

[wintry wigeon]

Oh I see, I saw the (development blog:lighting the way) into that village, do you see the game village? Or can it just be built?

Or maybe you can ask for some kind of confirmation, or what's next in the next update? What adds more to the gaming experience?

[plush umbra]

the village is the build of the month by a player, just a spotlight, nothing that's gonna be part of the game.
the next and last major update that we know of is gonna be the deep north.

[wintry wigeon]

Wow, and about which north you can know something about? I mean, what people would be interested in

[gray sand]

There are multiple norths?

(Inb4 Geographic and Magnetic)

[plush umbra]

well it's the 8th and probably final biome in progression, coming after ashlands.
it covers a crescent shape along the northern edge of the world and is pretty snowy currently, there's not much more we know at the time since development just started.

[gray sand]

Watch them pull the old switcheroo and convert it into a desert biome 😏

[plush umbra]

i would never forgive them

[regal spoke]

Fair play. Id say geographic and biome specific

[gray sand]

Called it.

[regal spoke]

Haha threw you bone

[wintry wigeon]

But it's not in the game yet, is it? That will come with the next update, right?

[plush umbra]

much like the previous biomes, the biome technically exists already but is currently empty, i don't recommend going there at the moment because any parts you visit now won't be able to fully update once the update comes out

[wintry wigeon]

Oh I get it, and about do you know when the update will come?

[plush umbra]

they haven't given us a date or estimate yet

[regal spoke]

Cool that the map provides that growth in progress

[gray sand]

420 hours and 69 minutes from right now is the next update.

[wintry wigeon]

Damn, even though it would be nice, I'm not in a hurry because this game is something amazing compared to 3 gb of the whole game

[regal spoke]

Skill expressions everywhere 😉

[shy marlin]

skill expression mentioned i am summoned

[regal spoke]

You shook up my Saturday bro gg

[gray sand]

We should just rename it scale expression.

[regal spoke]

In favor

[gray sand]

Now when someone can't do something we just say "scale issue" 😏

[regal spoke]

That's gold

[shy marlin]

😏 lmao

[foggy glacier]

Woot! Found a village with a maypole for my meadows farm and, after I think four in-game days of searching, a 2* boar as well. Yellow hearts are awesome!

My char is sitting out in the rain watching him and IDGAF.

[gray sand]

Maypoles will be buildable soon.

[tacit crystal]

But it's still January.

[shy marlin]

move computer clock ahead 😉

[gray sand]

Which is closer to buildable than December.

[noble axle]

just use no build cost

[foggy glacier]

no build cost won't work because the recipe doesn't show up unless you're in season. You'd need to use commands.

[noble axle]

ye it shows?

[leaden sun]

Hey all
Do I need to reroll to get BogWitch?

[gray sand]

If you've personally explored every single swamp on your entire map, yes.

[tacit crystal]

When you open your world after a content patch the new content will be generated to your world. Bog witch can be found in unexplored swamps.

Patience too, I s'pose.

You can't expect that people run to invite you two-tenth of a second after you posted in that channel.

[gray sand]

"Random people don't want to play with people they don't know very well. Does anyone in the non-group channel want to come randomly play with someone they don't know?"

It can take hours or even days in some cases to get an reply 🙂 not everyone is awake or checking discord at the same time so just give it a little time

[royal tendon]

Is the bat event really rare or why havent i gotten it in 400 hours of playing and 2 playthroughs??

[merry pebble]

Just rng messing with you 🙂

[royal tendon]

I guess it is

[pliant hatch]

Have you ever killed bats in a frost cave and or spend a few hours at your base?

[royal tendon]

Yeah i have

[tacit crystal]

You have been blessed with good RNG.

[noble axle]

bat raid 🤨

[royal tendon]

Id rather take the bat event than trolls though lol

[merry pebble]

Tbh... I will take the trolls every time if i can choose xD WAY less annoying than bats

[pliant hatch]

Just wait until you get the "you are being hunted" event in an area you absolutely don't want it to happen. Like in the swamps because you come back with extra iron or mistlands just after fleeing for a seeker soldier or a Gjall.

[merry pebble]

You cant get it in those biomes 😉

[tacit crystal]

Afaik wolf raid can happen only in Mountain and Plains

[tacit crystal]

Devs with their evil laughter when they designed bats being the most annoying nuisance in the game.

[pliant hatch]

I had them happen in the middle of the Ocean, with only black forest or meadows on the edges. The game has surprised me more, wouldn't surprise me at all if that event happens in other biomes too.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, if you look at minimap when sailing it quite often says plains even tho there is no land in sight 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Yeah it usually happens in those areas on water that says Plains, which can be confusing to some.

[pliant hatch]

Plains, yes. Meadows or Black Forest as I said in my previous message, no.

[merry pebble]

Well, yes, you said on the edges tho, we are talking about middle of the ocean, there are random a bit shallower spots that will be plains technically 🙂

[glass spruce]

is there an estimated time for when the next update releases?

[merry pebble]

Nope

[glass spruce]

😞

[tacit crystal]

However, soon is the end of the month, so we might get a new dev blog with some new sneak peaks of ongoing work.

[gray sand]

"You are being Hunted: By Trolls" 😏

[chilly pendant]

Hello everyone. I'm finally giving this game a shot since it's EA release. I've had it and I didn't play for more than an hour at launch. So currently I am giving it a real go. However I'm not sure if I like the progression being so controlled. I generally like games where I can go and do whatever I feel like it and decide how I want to tackle different parts of the game. Any suggestions on things that might make me keep interested. Let's just say I like to go in and mess around. I don't like things locked away. Any suggestions

[vocal rivet]

You pretty much can, there's only one progression point that's remotely hard-locked and even that can be cheesed.

[oak river]

You can go to whatever biome you want whenever you want but you'll probably die as a new player

[sour furnace]

What are the respawn requirements? Are there any? I know night spend run away then despawn, but how long do day/normal spawns last?

[nocturne wolf]

Creatures that aren’t spawned by a raid or night don’t despawn

[median herald]

how do i grow raspberries and bluberrys

[nocturne wolf]

You don’t, but you can farm carrots by finding seeds and making a cultivator.

[median herald]

oh ok

[cosmic summit]

can ballistas aim up and down?

[runic spoke]

I just mark the locations of thistle, mushrooms, raspberries, blueberries, etc... and then sometimes go forage in those spots

by right clicking the legends on the map you can also toggle them since they'll pretty quickly end up making the map get filled by text if you got too much

[shy marlin]

no not really

[runic spoke]

does anyone have any tips on hunting down abominations, idk how to find a lot of them

[lunar sapphire]

Let's not ping people randomly please.

[dusk comet]

Are you a bot?

And its not random its derek the devloper hes chill with it. Aint you @vocal rivet

[bright edge]

I got the valheim itch again 🥹 Is the christmas event still going?

[shy marlin]

chirstmas event? do you mean chirstmas trees being able to be built?

[tacit crown]

Big tree kill.

[dusk comet]

I think you can still build trees

[bright edge]

Yeah or whatever the christmas stuff was about. Maybe there's more than the tree

[shy marlin]

nah chirstmas tree is no longer to be able to be built

ended jan 6 or something

[bright edge]

Damn I figured

[shy marlin]

you can always move the time back on your computer 👀

[runic spoke]

???

do they spawn if I cut down big trees?

[dusk cypress]

forsen

[nimble moss]

Have a look at some pics on what they look like when in the ground; it’s a very specific green style tree stump.

Once you know exactly what you are looking for, keep looking left/right as you move through swamp; you’ll start seeing them more often.

[runic spoke]

ait, currently I've just been camping a spot where they tend to spawn but maybe I'll have more luck with your method

[nimble moss]

They don’t have specific spots they spawn; they just spawn in swamp.

Two things to help; you can keep killing swamp stuff and hope they are one of the respawns (it’s chance based). They also can’t spawn if another is nearby if I remember correctly; so make sure you check the areas.

[tacit crown]

My method was just to run around the swamp and pray

[vocal rivet]

I'm sorry, what?

[runic spoke]

btw if it's raining will stuff that normally degrades from it not be affected if I'm not in the chunks

[dusk comet]

Whens the next development blog

[vocal rivet]

How am I supposed to know? And stop pinging me.

[tacit crown]

Hey I was just wondering, what time could we expect to see the next development blog?

[dusk comet]

good one holyden

[cobalt canyon]

(there are reasons I turn sound notifications off)

[bright edge]

Instant 2 pings, get the banhammer out

[cobalt canyon]

I ain't not pinged nobody

[vocal rivet]

And not before time. Certainly now reported.

[bright edge]

🥹

[tacit crown]

Certainly now reported.🤓🤓🤓

[pliant radish]

Derek is obsessed with reporting people

[vocal rivet]

Not particularly. I only report things that break server rules, as we are all recommended to do.

[pliant radish]

Like when somebody reacted to 2 of your messages with a thumbs down after you gave a sarcastic response to someone asking for help, and you reported them for it?

[vocal rivet]

Oh, that time I gave a perfectly reasonable response that everyone jumped on because it's fun to troll Derek? Gotcha.

[pliant radish]

Regardless of how you felt it should be clear that a lot of people interpreted it as sarcastic, and communication isn't one way. Even if they reacted with thumbs down for no reason thats still an insane thing to report somebody for

And if you think that people find it "fun to troll Derek" then maybe consider why that would be

[vocal rivet]

I don't make the rules. Emote spam being one of them.

[tacit crown]

You should stop taking everything so serious 🙏

[runic spoke]

can enemies in raids spawn inside bases with workbenches due to certain conditions or is it just due to small gaps somewhere where a workbench isn't covering it

[pliant radish]

small gaps

I've got a fully enclosed base and I never get enemies inside the walls

[steady bough]

No comment honestly

[gleaming girder]

yesterday finally found Haldor , hes funny

[regal spoke]

Trying to spawn proof a large area is sometimes aesthetically challenging. I like to use build pieces as markers to, ensure a little overlap occurs. Airborne raids on mainland tend to be the only concern.

[vocal rivet]

Um, don't.

[pliant radish]

because good game, support devs

[vocal rivet]

What made you think that the official Discord server was the best place to beg for a free game?

The Steam page is : https://store.steampowered.com/app/892970/Valheim/

[steady bough]

Lol

20 dollarydoos or so

[shy marlin]

What country do you live in?

[vocal rivet]

Then get a job, save money and then buy it when it comes on sale.

No, now stop begging, it's not a good look.

[gleaming girder]

[steady bough]

Lol

[gleaming girder]

[steady bough]

So naughty.

[subtle olive]

guys i think we should give hime a steam

[kind crescent]

Did the developers remove the ability for chickens too late eggs or breed in small areas and uneven surfaces? I'm trying to make an automated chicken farm. But I can't get the chickens to lay eggs unless they're on flat floors.

[wintry valve]

You worried about gjalls?

[regal spoke]

Anything that flies even seekers will get over a wall from outside the anti spawn ring

[wintry valve]

oh yeah, those guys. Yeah I forgot about seekers

[steady bough]

I'll take 300 Ashland's mobs over 1 gjall

[regal spoke]

I've also had a drake raid decimate a non-star wolf farm. Bats are brutal too

[wintry valve]

I dont do too bad against gjalls anymore since I grinded my bow skill

spinesnap or ashfang kills them really quickly with a sufficient skill level

[noble axle]

any bow besides crude bow kills them pretty quickly tbh

[golden granite]

So I have a safety bridge with the gap in it that prevents mobs from crossing into my home. However yesterday, I saw a troll just walk on it ez pz. Do they not work against trolls?

[wintry valve]

I am trying spears right now and they dont do too well in the ashlands =_=

[noble axle]

the lightning spear is pretty good and its best if u parry for 2x dmg even with alot of enemies being pierce resistant

[steady bough]

Shame its absurdly expensive to upgrade, if you dont have that mistwalker is a good one for slow and tick dmhg

[radiant pulsar]

Wish Oozers were more common and dropped more iron....

Or maybe when they split they could create baby Oozers called "boozers" 😉

[faint jackal]

Best armor for an archer going into the Ashlands for the first time?

[topaz nebula]

hello

[clever brook]

why would the game character hold the spear like that... just why?

[acoustic temple]

a stone portal

having speed will help

ashlands is...death

[faint jackal]

Im aware

But yeah, best armor for Archer?

[acoustic temple]

no magic?

[faint jackal]

No. Archer.......

[acoustic temple]

carapace

or fenris to run

[faint jackal]

Huh not what I was expecting. I thought it would be fenris

[noble axle]

Fenris + Root Harnesk + Potions

[acoustic temple]

but do you not get the speed boost?

[warm sandal]

if you wanted an edge for archery get root armor... but it has a lot less armor points...

[noble axle]

u do, but to be even faster

and jump higher 😉

[warm sandal]

but you know that archers have a big disadvantage in the ashes with next to anything being resist to pierce?

[noble axle]

frost arrows + high skill in bows and good distance u don't really need to worry about anything

[faint jackal]

That's the plan

[noble axle]

when doing Fader as first boss the only time I died in Ashlands besides to Fader was when I went to a fortress to get bell fragments, I got jumped by everything at once, but then I played a bit slower when I got my stuff it wasn't too difficult

[noble axle]

yea u got it

[nocturne wolf]

Fenris armor’s speed is applied with each individual piece, not the set bonus

[acoustic temple]

has anyone had a bunch of their build pieces "disappear" in a spot in their map?

Just came back to the boar pit and I had a ladder setup to get out + all the boars disappear 😦

[faint jackal]

Yeah that's fine

[radiant pulsar]

I've had a sap collector disappear - no Y wood or needle but 5 BMetal was on the ground - I never leave any area aggroed whilst I'm near structures. Had a portal disintegrate in front of my eyes as a storm hit in Ashlands so maybe these events are just rare things.....

It's important when outside your base and exploring that certain structures are not placed too close to other structures. If a mob can see a portal or workbench it will try and destroy it and if any structures are close to them then they may get destroyed too even if they aren't actually targetted by the mob

[mossy glacier]

I have setup spawner body pile farm and use Skeletts to kill spawned Draugrs to level-up my Blood magic skill.

After 50+ level it seems pretty slow way and it hardly increase 2 levels per in-game day+night.

Any faster way to level up bloodmagic skill?

[acoustic temple]

this is near my base :/

[radiant pulsar]

Hmmm not sure what to say. If you are adamant that it feels like a glitch then how would you feel about using commands to "fix" things 😉

[acoustic temple]

it's okay, I've rebuilt; just got to find new boars...looking for a 2 star if I can

[radiant pulsar]

Ahhh ok cool

It is annoying though. Ive literally just had a map icon with a portal to Moder disappear from the map. That icon has been there over a year lol

But I did change platforms in the last 24hrs so perhaps .......

[craggy niche]

I have had entities (vikings, animals, enemies) load before build pieces. So vikings fall through buildings, animals escape, and enemies enter base.

Happens when sailing quickly or between autosaves.

[acoustic temple]

interesting. Has it happened on just the environment? I had a big pit for the boars

[craggy niche]

Terraformed? Of course

[acoustic temple]

hmm so they could just fall through the bottom of the pit?

[craggy niche]

The terraform resets to the default world terrain. For example, if you dug a pit, the pit would not exist and the ground would be normal/raised. If you raised the ground, the ground will be normal/lower.

I don't terraform heavily though, so I have not had issues with things falling through the world

[acoustic temple]

crazy!

[cyan trout]

how unban my friend

[nocturne wolf]

With the unban command

[robust delta]

from ur valheim world?

[cyan trout]

yes

[cyan trout]

what command

[half elm]

huh what does it mean?

[robust delta]

i think it's what u see in the package. try typing unban and then either ur friend's name, or pull their steam id

[nocturne wolf]

Use the command banned to check the name you need to use

[near furnace]

you can also edit the file to remove the ban

[normal vine]

do you guys know any other way of getting smelted iron in the mistlands without having to break down ancient armour/aquaducts

i need to get my stonecutter over here but i don't want to literally move 2 ingots over the span of 30 minutes

[shy marlin]

Nah no other method really

I guess you could get iron if the mistlands has a mountain and you break down cultist doors or if there’s a random sealed tower, but either way it would just be faster to break down something in the mistlands for the iron

[normal vine]

it does have a mountain biome actually

[foggy glacier]

getting iron from dungeon doors is really random though. You're still better to break up one piece of armor and smelt on site I'd say.

just 'repurpose' a dvergr tower.

[serene talon]

luckely all smelter materials can go through portals so it's easy to smelt the iron there

[normal vine]

i just break down every dvergr outpost i see because it's an easy way of getting like 6-7 stacks of black marble

[normal vine]

oh that's true. i didn't think of that

[cyan temple]

anyone wanna play eu dm if you wanna play

[tacit crystal]

You could ask around https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[tacit crystal]

And for the future: please avoid posting same message in multiple channels, that could be considered as spamming per rules of the server.

[cyan temple]

sure can do

[lunar sapphire]

Let’s leave the moderating for moderators please 👍

Let us known with the modmail bot if there’s anything we need to handle ✨

[tacit crystal]

Huh, didn't know letting someone know about rules is considered moderating.

[opaque sundial]

There's no one who will reply. Makes me feel like I wasted money.

[merry pebble]

How?

[opaque sundial]

I got this game to play it with others. Can't play with others.

[merry pebble]

Its a primarly single player game, with co-op option that is mostly meant to be used with friends... Its not a game you expect to be playing with total strangers, it doesent even have public servers...

[opaque sundial]

I mean, you CAN play it single player. No doubt about that. It's just boring af. Whether it's Rust, Palworld, Grounded, Ark, etc. These games are dull by yourself.

[merry pebble]

That is entirely up to your personal preference

[opaque sundial]

It doesn't want to be my personal preference.

I'm fine with playing Half Life and Dark Souls completely by myself.

So what makes these game different?

[merry pebble]

That they dont have the option to co-op with others, you have it here, but again its primarly meant to be played with friends if you want that

[near furnace]

Valheim at it's core is ment to be played solo and have the posibility to play with a few friends you trust

[opaque sundial]

Half Life has deathmatch, and Dark Souls DOES have an option to co-op?

[opaque sundial]

Good thing I have no friends. Welp, money wasted.

[near furnace]

it was made by a single developer for years and the idea of 13 million people buying his game was impossible to even guess

[opaque sundial]

There were 5 devs on this game, no?

[near furnace]

no

[nocturne wolf]

There was originally one, but Iron Gate has grown

[tacit crystal]

If you feel your money wasted, that's on you.

[merry pebble]

https://www.valheimgame.com/faq/ on bottom you have a summary 🙂

[opaque sundial]

There were originally 3 devs on Runescape, but that doesn't make Runescape classic made by 3 people.

[plush umbra]

when will the next update come?

[merry pebble]

Nobody knows 🙂

[near furnace]

the whole idea behind valheim is a single experience. not a continious multiplayer game

[opaque sundial]

Obvious is obvious?

[near furnace]

even if you max out at 10 players. if 1 player decide to go fight the final boss and beats it. it's game completed

done

finito

GG

WP

over

[opaque sundial]

I don't expect the devs thought this was gonna be an MMO

[opaque sundial]

Sounds like Dark Souls multiplayer.

[near furnace]

Normal Dark Souls was one of the inspirations for Valheim

[opaque sundial]

LMAO

[sinful fulcrum]

dodge roll mechanics on valheim are glorious

[gritty geyser]

wen Deep North

[sinful fulcrum]

Would you nerf the dodge roll? it is too forgiving in the game

[merry pebble]

Nobody knows 🙂

[sinful fulcrum]

Like, it is 2 seconds of iframes

[gritty geyser]

I wonder if this game is gonna hit like Baldur's Gate

when the real deal comes out

[near furnace]

if the game would have random pickup, a lot of things would have to change to make it more stable to play with people over super-long distances.
This is not really possible without hosting our own servers and that's not possible without running the game studio to the ground in costs

[nocturne wolf]

That's also 2 seconds of completely unable to do anything else

[opaque sundial]

The real deal? What game changed after releasing from EA?

[near furnace]

hit like? 🤔

[shy marlin]

besides the fact you have to press 2 buttons 💀

[near furnace]

sales? popularity? numbers of following games in the series?

[opaque sundial]

I doubt this game would hit like the reused bosses of the Elden Ring DLC

[sinful fulcrum]

it is easy

[tacit crystal]

I believe Valheim was already a hit when it sold millions of copies after getting released EA.

[sinful fulcrum]

I might be too adapted for it tho, dont take my opinion

[shy marlin]

its easy but what year are we living in 💀

[near furnace]

Valheim sold over 13 million copies early 2024

and cost 1/3 of baldurs gate 3 🤔

[opaque sundial]

Yeah, so was Dark and Darker. They both are irrelevant now.

[near furnace]

about 50,000 players play valheim daily atm

at the same time should be added

[opaque sundial]

42 isn't even rounded up to 50, but it's still a good number.

[near furnace]

alot more play daily

[merry pebble]

I contribute my 1/50 000th 🫡

[tacit crystal]

Irrelevant how?

[opaque sundial]

You hear more about Cyberpunk, even these days.

[near furnace]

well. I don't think there will be any kind of agreement here. besides someone getting more angry with the other one

[shy marlin]

just curious what's the proportion of steam players to xbox players? 50/50 or?

[near furnace]

since valheim ain't going to change from the current co-op format

[robust delta]

idk that kinda scales on the algorithm. i haven't heard of cyberpunk in a long while

[opaque sundial]

Good question.

[opaque sundial]

Fair point.

[near furnace]

https://steamdb.info/app/1091500/charts/#max

alot of people still play cyberpunk

[azure yacht]

And?

[opaque sundial]

Wouldn't doubt it. CDPR players don't even care The Witcher is plagiarism.

[opaque sundial]

By comparison, I've heard more about Cyberpunk than Valheim.

[near furnace]

The witcher is polish folklore, made by CDPR which is a polish developer

[azure yacht]

I'll repeat:

And...?

[near furnace]

that's because valheim don't advertise because it's still in early access 🙂

[opaque sundial]

The HEXER is a book series, and it's based on Elric of Melnibone .

[azure yacht]

I don't understand why a game being completely unknown or not has any relevancy on... Anything

[near furnace]

https://www.polishculture-nyc.org/the-witchers-roots-in-polish-folklore/

[opaque sundial]

....because it's unknown, or not?

[azure yacht]

And that's... Bad?

[opaque sundial]

No, it's just an observation.

[opaque sundial]

NYC. org? Don't try to teach an old dog new tricks.

[near furnace]

well. not sure anyone here can help you with your original problem

[light moat]

What’s the original problem? 🤔

[opaque sundial]

That's fine.

[near furnace]

no one to play with @light moat

[merry pebble]

Cant/not being patiend enough to find people to play with in Valheim

[opaque sundial]

I've been waiting for days? I can be patient. I just made an observation that no one replies in LFG.

[near furnace]

besides the issue of finding people, finding someone who isn't going just destroy your stuff also

since valheim doesn't really safe-guard players in random pickup either

[merry pebble]

Hence why its best to play with friends 😄

[near furnace]

yes

[opaque sundial]

Yeah. I thought I could find some friends to play with, but I guess not. I'll try again later.

My friends think this game is ugly and bad.

[near furnace]

😦

that sucks

[merry pebble]

Find better friends

[opaque sundial]

Like this game is Runescape in UE5

[near furnace]

not everyone can play with someone like you yjo @merry pebble

[merry pebble]

But yes, it is unfortunate if that s the case 😦

[opaque sundial]

Easier said than done.

[near furnace]

well, valheim uses Unity and not unreal engine

[opaque sundial]

That's what they were comparing it to. That it's pixelated garbage with a nice coat of paint.

[near furnace]

the OG developer made all the graphics himself, hence he didn't want to make it super detailed so he could quickly make something and throw it into the game

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim's art style is beautiful

[opaque sundial]

That doesn't sound good long term.

[opaque sundial]

Not everyone thinks that. People have different opinions.

[near furnace]

well. low-poly style is what he likes

so it's basicly a taste in art 😄

[opaque sundial]

That's cool. I still wasted money though.

[near furnace]

you played more than 2 hours?

[opaque sundial]

60.3 hours, never fought the second boss.

[near furnace]

ah

yeah, then it's much to late for a refund

[opaque sundial]

I know. Thus I wasted money.

[nocturne wolf]

You didn't enjoy any of that 60 hours?

[opaque sundial]

Yeah, but when you only have one good arm to use, fighting 90 goblin shamans in the Black Forest can be a bit of a hassle.

[nocturne wolf]

Fighting goblin shamans in black forest is a hassle for everyone, those are from much later in progression

[opaque sundial]

Really? That's only after the first boss.

[nocturne wolf]

Unless you meant greydwarves

[opaque sundial]

How is that late?

[nocturne wolf]

Goblins are from the fifth biome, plains

[opaque sundial]

See, I didn't know that. Who the hell would name goblin enemies this badly, tho?

[lean mauve]

Is there any way to change rotate bind ?

[near furnace]

the scroll up and down?

[lean mauve]

yep, my wheel is broken

[near furnace]

sadly not a easy thing to change :/

easier to get a new mouse, fix the wheel or use a game controller

[lean mauve]

Ye.. i was looking on it in reddit for like an hour

and dident figure it

[near furnace]

how is it broken?

snapped of?

or doesn't respond?

[lean mauve]

the scrolling doesent respond

[near furnace]

sounds like a cleaning mission

[opaque sundial]

Mine likes to scroll the opposite way.

[lean mauve]

but like i cant click it and use "wm3"

can*

[near furnace]

my current mouse is super-dumb and just accumilates dust inside the scroll wheel mechanic

and it's a expensive "gaming mouse"

never buying expensive again

[lean mauve]

The scrolling works normaly, but no output

[near furnace]

get a screw driver and dissasamble it

probably dust build up

[lean mauve]

I have mine like for 10E i think lol

[near furnace]

mine was like 110€

not worth it

[lean mauve]

why did you spend so much money for mouse 😄

[near furnace]

because my normal brand stop making the good computer mouses I liked using 😦

[lean mauve]

like when you have money for it go for it but in my opinion 110 for mouse is crazy 😄

[opaque sundial]

Ergonomic mice are the only ones I can use now lol

[near furnace]

those standing up mouses?

[opaque sundial]

Indeed. Haven't had any wrist problems, but going back to a normal mouse feels gross now.

[near furnace]

I got "addicted" to silent mouses

[lean mauve]

is it more confortable to use ?

[opaque sundial]

x10000000000000

[near furnace]

can't stand "clicky" mouse or keyboards

[opaque sundial]

Depends on which game I'm playing

[lean mauve]

i saw only old people usin it

[opaque sundial]

That's what you usually see. But, when you are playing games for 10-12 hours in a day, it's crazy how the pain in the wrist goes away.

[near furnace]

^ indeed

[heavy atlas]

hey guys, are there any healing potions in the game? up until now i had used a mod for those, but i havent checked what new content the game has so never explored alchemy much

[near furnace]

I see many developers using them to save on their wrists

[near furnace]

there are yes

[pliant hatch]

You will be able to craft healing potions the moment you discover copper and bronze.

[near furnace]

brb

[heavy atlas]

what potions are they? just healing potions?

[opaque sundial]

At first, I got the mouse cause it has an analog stick for your thumb. But it's only for WASD, it's not 360 degrees.

[heavy atlas]

cuz i think my only source of self heal are rejuv potions and afaik they are from a mod i think?

[opaque sundial]

No idea, I have never gotten that far.

[pliant hatch]

See for yourself over here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Mead

[heavy atlas]

Hmm..... better CD but still 2 minutes 🤔

[cosmic verge]

StagBreaker is so fun

[pliant hatch]

Done to prevent potion spam like some games have. Makes it a lot better to decide whether or not it's a good idea to deal with some monsters.

[cosmic verge]

Big hammer go boom

[heavy atlas]

any mods that let me edit the CD to more...preferred numbers?

[robust delta]

true

[pliant hatch]

You may ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[robust delta]

i ignored it cuz it wasn't the kind of weapon i was expecting/wanting, but this 2nd run it's been kinda nice parrying a greyling and watching its ragdoll go to the heavens, and for when raids happen

[cosmic verge]

My brother likes spamming fire arrows at Trolls while I break their knees with Stag, very fun

[nocturne wolf]

Trolls are resistant to blunt damage so the stagbreaker won't do much to them

[cosmic verge]

Oh, any recommendations?

[robust delta]

he may be durable but that troll will get a hammer on the big toe 🫡

[nocturne wolf]

Bronze atgeir

[robust delta]

piercing damage does a decent amount of dmg on the troll

[cosmic verge]

Whats the difference between atgeir's and halberds?

[nocturne wolf]

What halberds?

[robust delta]

could spear shank, roleplay great britian and sneak up on 'em with a knife, or atgeir for good poke poke

[robust delta]

if u mean like irl, nothing too much i think. they're both polearms, but probably have different cultural stuff therefore diff names and style

[cosmic verge]

Ah

[nocturne wolf]

Halberds have an axe blade on them

[robust delta]

i suppose the halberd has a pointy side on the opposite of the axe head while the atgeirs are more like glaives

[cosmic verge]

Similar to Hand-Axe and Bearded Axe

Right?

[robust delta]

i mean pretty much i guess

[runic spoke]

so uhh, we have a runestone in our base. Is that thing spawning animals...?

[nocturne wolf]

No, the boar runestones only spawn boars once and others do nothing.

[runic spoke]

our runestone says something about an allfather but I ran around our base like 3 times and didn't find any gaps

then again I've never had anything spawn in our base while I was there xD

ye I just got raided and everything is spawning outside

[tiny saddle]

hi

[quiet python]

So, when can we collect tar in buckets and dump it through tar holes of our base?

[potent osprey]

so what's the strategy when you're fighting a solider and a gjall shows up...then a second. Then 1 minute later, gjall raid. my strategy was die 10 times in 5 minutes. is there a better way?

5 minutes is optimistic, it was probably 3

[light moat]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 don’t forget the lightbulb!

[frozen fable]

I just turn on god mode and debug mode and fly up there to fight gjalls, I can't be bothered to fight them legitly. If i could remove any one mob from the game, it would be gjall, hands down

[potent osprey]

dedicated server i don't host, cheating isn't an option. which is good, keeps me honest

[quiet python]

It was more of a joke. But, hey, I could do that too...lol

[light moat]

Oh my bad LOL went right over my head ✈️

[quiet python]

Don't worry, right after, my wife made the comment of having a tar pit for a moat around a base. So...guess I wasn't thinking that far ahead.

[merry pebble]

I believe you could probably do that with commands 🙂

[rich veldt]

What do you think the mobs in Deep North will be?

[nocturne wolf]

They need lightning attacks, we don’t have any lightning enemies yet

[frozen jewel]

Deadly rabbits

from rezero 🔥

[shy marlin]

all we know is that there's gonna be at least one big enemy

[rich veldt]

yagluth?

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth and eikthyr deal lightning damage, but they’re bosses

[nocturne wolf]

Also hopefully nothing with oversized attack hitboxes such as a stone golem. Morgens are a good example of a large enemy with reasonable hitboxes.

[rich veldt]

golem can whiff above your head though, which is pretty unprecedented

[regal spoke]

Like the elites of other biomes?

[shy marlin]

i don't remember the exact quote but there might be an enemy bigger than any boss model or something?

[nocturne wolf]

Do you remember where you might have heard this? I haven’t seen anything at all about the enemies there

[shy marlin]

lemme look

[noble axle]

Frost giants? 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

Any enemy that big must be in a dungeon or something because we’ve seen how close together the trees are and anything much bigger than a troll would just get stuck.

[regal spoke]

DN has trees ey

[native vault]

hello! Is here someone who would like to start a server from 0?

[native vault]

oh okey thanks

but there I can't write

[regal spoke]

Have to make a post yea

Thanks for the link Blob

Here's hoping for some cool fjords to build in

[rich veldt]

okay so I finally realized that food recipes previously locked behind cauldron upgrades that got moved to food preparation table are now not

I wonder if it's intended

[near furnace]

yes

[rich veldt]

confirmed by devs?

[near furnace]

it might be a oversight, but atm it's intended 🤔

[rich veldt]

"intended" means an intentional decision or acknowledgement vs oversight, so can't be both

[vocal rivet]

Literally in the message you're responding to.

[lunar sapphire]

What I think Smiffe is saying is that yes the changes made are intentional. However the current changes with food and foodtables may be reviewed in the future if things need further tweaks/changes.

[ancient agate]

I hate Stone Golem hitboxes, I basically just never fight them until I have fully upgraded Plains gear, I miss too many blocks against them

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t have much problems with the timing, I just don’t like that I can’t dodge them without rolling

[regal spoke]

The pointy handed golems are easier I find

[nocturne wolf]

Their shortest attack reaches forwards 8.86m, three of the hitboxes are vertical so jumping isn’t even an option, the only horizontal hitbox is still quite tall for that stage of the game and they all have 100% turnspeed so moving to the side doesn’t go well.

[regal spoke]

You pull this info or acquired through experience

[tacit crystal]

No jumping over that problem.

[nocturne wolf]

I made a spreadsheet with enemy attack information showing properties such as hitbox sizes, knockback, move/turnspeed, and AI requirements. I used the Unity Explorer mod to get the information (which is the only mod I have used and ever plan on using for Valheim).

I haven’t shared it anywhere though

[regal spoke]

When and if I mod. It will be qol or builder specific

Bless the spreadsheet makers. The heros we don't deserve.

[lunar sapphire]

@odd helm Come, accept your crown ❤️

[near furnace]

actually a rescent discovery method to deal with them is to dig a deep hole, then stand next to the hole and then parry block them, then push them while they are staggered unto the hole, then just kill them however you wish 😛

[regal spoke]

I learn better through suffering. This. Is. The way?

[teal tiger]

Is the 2H Ashlands sword a fine replacement for sword and board playstyle? I usually like to parry and don't often rely on blocking otherwise.

[tacit crystal]

Or use it as Elemental magic skill trainer dummy with frost staff.

[near furnace]

well... that's when you go back 😄

[tacit crystal]

2H swords are bit slower but strong and have higher stamina usage and multi target penalty (which 1h swords don't have).

[shy marlin]

1.0 better make 2h swords not have mtp and 1h swords have mtp

[teal tiger]

Ah, interesting. I think the penalty will be enough for me to stick to sword and board. That's super lame. Thank you!

[tacit crystal]

Despite that I use 2h swords more than 1h swords. I like to use them as strong single target damage dealers against some bigger opponents and usually against 6th boss in Mistlands.

But maybe you could try both styles? Having 1h sword and shield for groups and 2h sword for single targets.
