I hope you get slimed out by a cultist now you lucky dog
There have been so many playthroughs I've given up on finding yag and just searched my seed up
I already killed so many but no trophy yet... will have to run around way more mountains I want the fenris set π
Unfortunate
i joined this server to find obrentune
sigh killed another 10 cultists, no trophy ... with my RNG Luck I will have to kill 100 to get one π
yea sometimes it just doesn't work in your favour
Especially the cultist trophies have been very elusive for me in the last few runs.
Cultist trophies have always been a bottleneck for me
how long yall think untill the new update actually releases
Would expect couple of weeks. But it really depends on when it's on state where most significant bugs are fixed.
havent played the beta of it that much but didnt see that many bugs when playing mostly pieces of my house started crumbling apart
were there any huge ones
does anyone have any reccomentions what to build next (just got into plains and have crafting room, portal, livingroom,garden)
Browse #building-screenshots for inspirations. Build whatever you desire
Cooking hut, storage building, and cart shelter/garage. Just some ideas.
thx man
I like to build one little portal house per biome and decorate it with stuff from there thus making a little village like base...
i mean true
You can read in PTB channels about issues etc.

Also do check youtube, lots of awesome builders showcasing their builds there. Blows my mind what can be done in Valheim with just the vanilla game, ingenuity and an eye for details. Has helped me a lot with progressing from simple huts and featureless square stone towers...

Max iron armor and bonemass still does decent damage holy he is goated
is there no blackmetal armor?
i only see the blackmetal shield and chest
after smelting
Have you got linen thread yet? (There's no black metal armor, but this is the main material for the next set)
ok thanks i just thought of this before checking back here lol
would you say the Atgeir is the best weapon suited for plains or is sword/shield better?
i have a fully upgraded frostner and serpent shield rn and it works
It depends which playstyle suits you.
Porcupine is pretty good IMO.
sneak bow to get bonus damage then get up close and personal
I genuinely could not believe my eyes when I read people protesting against the idea of potentially having more inventory slots, ESPECIALLY applying the slippery slope analogy to the arguement. No. Not everyone's going to take a mile when you give them an inch. Holy crap.
I honestly don't know what else to say, that's insane
Frostner is also good, not the most damaging but offers great crowd control in form of frost effect which slows (and wet enemies become weak against frost damage).
If you like maces generally Porcupine is nice addition with Frostner.
But really, any weapon in Plains go well.
ok i'll try porcupine
Ah, yeah. Frostner gud. Its slow is actually insane for pretty much every biome, even if there are better damaging options
i do enjoy the frostner croud control, i was thinking the atgeir would be similarly effective because it's easy to get surrounded by goblins
so you just say no and spin
Porcupine's partial pierce damage is good against Lox who resist other physical damage types except pierce. Then if you're up to fully melee, one enemy type is weak against blunt damage (although they can be taken afar with bow easier).
Spin is very good for crowd control, knockback and staggering.
The discussion I mentioned on the debate on more inventory slots came from the PTB chat although I didn't think if appropriate to continue it there, especially since I slept through the majority of the arguement
seems like a strange thing to object to, but I find carrying weight reaches peak before inventory space is an issue for me
and I don't travel light
never know when you're gonna need a hoe
Yeah. I personally don't use archery for too long, I prefer magic, then melee, so I'm typically on the front lines until I get my hands on staves. I do have a buddy that enjoys a ranger-type playstyle and he's constantly complaining about inventory space, he often carries 5 stacks of arrows at a go. Of course he also usually has Bows in the 50's by the time we are ready for bonemass as well so he really burns through arrows like crazy. With my own experience trying out archery, having two types of arrows, armor, one type of mead, 3 foods and a hotbar full of tools... the current inventory slots just felt stifling to me.
I think a case could be made for a quiver to hold only arrows
or maybe a harvest satchel for crops and seeds
but now this is just mod territory, not really anything that would be badly needed
I think a quiver would be a huge boon to archer players, especially for people who prefer long haul adventuring. Typically if you take a stack of food (most foods are 10) and say, 3 stacks of arrows, you're fairly likely to use all your arrows before you go through half your food supplies
do you carry more than 100 arrows on you at any times besides the moder fight?
I often carry 200 main (or thereabouts because my usage isn't always in 20's) and then a stack of secondary, depending on my destination- IF i'm using bows as primary.
Of course my accuracy isn't 100% either. I think i hit about 70% of my shots
so a quiver would basicly only save you 1 slot then π€
but you're saving alot from not carrying any melee weapons. no?
a quiver would save me, personally, 2 slots. and.... no. I also keep a mace and buckler for pierce resistant or fast moving enemies.
Granted how many slots are saved depends on how much a quiver can hold, of course
By the time I get magic, though, I toss aside archery completely- partially for the inventory, partially because I just love launching fireballs at things
Ultimately, I could A. get better at aiming so I use less or B. put a time limit on my trips. Either way, it's very much a skill issue on my part
any cool mod suggestions
what is ymir flesh for again?
Frostner and iron sledge
ty
Does weapon with split damage type, for example porcupine, scale entirely from their primary damage type still? And does it increase their pierce damage or only blunt when leveling the mace skill. I assume you donβt increase its pierce damage by leveling up the spear skill for example.
Yep, it scales with clubs skill, knives also have split dmgπ
And it increases all dmg the weapon does
Oh so it does increase all the damage and not just the blunt part of it? Thank you! Always learning new things about this game π
I mean I had a feeling it was purely one skill, but you never know.
not all weapons split damage tho
an issue is that if you hit the ground, wood, stones etc. the damage will be split between the target, and the other things you hit
They were talking about split damage types of certain weapons, like knives and Porcupine, not MTP.
Wondering if higher skill levels scale all damage types on weapons.
They do. Even frost and spirit damage in Frostner.
Quiver slots save:
1
Coolness factor:
10 π€©π
you just want to be Legolas
Every kill still only counts as one ofcourse π
Me with battleaxe, witnessing other with bow killing big mob.
"THAT STILL COUNT AS ONE!"
Yeeeesssss π π

Okay π
Have they buffed the starter dungeons ? Because I'm getting WRECKED... non stop spawning skeletons, 1 star skeletons etc.
It's just rng. Some burial chambers will just have a few harmless skellies, others will have a bunch of spawners, ghosts, starred skellies and one or two of the green ones. Coming into one of those before you've had time to gear up a bit in the forest can be a death sentence. Best leave the toughest ones for later!
I'm literally getting like 3 spawners that keep non stop spawning 1 stars etc. lame af
yeah, just leave that dungeon for later. Less frustration that way..
And now my gear is in a tiny room, so if I go get it... I'll just keep dying over and over again
RNG can be cruel. I recently started a new playthrough, and the very first skeleton I encountered - the nightspawn at a Meadows dolmen just a spear toss from spawn - was a two-star. I had a wooden shield and club plus the starting rag tunic. Took a while, but I managed to kill it. A new player would have really struggled there.
What amor and other weapons should I use with crossbow (I finished the game)
its too slow and weird to play like I usually do
I never use bow either but bow is so easy to add to a build
I've thought since I saw it mentioned on the Wiki that Dyrnwyn looks like a Welsh word
Turns out it is lol

Sorry!
I was genuinely baffled too reading through some comments today. Like.. do you hate yourself?
I understand that inventory management is part of the game, but it's not "management" if 2/3s of it are Permanently Full,
and/or you portal back to base every 5 minutes to unload.
i like valheim
Anyone got suggestions for the easiest way to avoid raids? Frustrating to be focused on building and spend so long repairing every few days
World modifiers on main menu. Turn raids off.
The easiest way is to build a earth wall around your base with the hoe
I'm surprised you are spending a lot of time on repairing
i also do
Are you sure its not water damage?
Most raids dont do too much structural damage, some dont seem to do any at all
Trolls do but you just lead them away from your base
build a raised wall and a moat around your base
+spikes
I've had them break through my gate repeatedly, the rest has a moat and raised wall π
Usually an issue if I am afk
Are you on a dedicated server then?
As the game progresses you will get other types of gate with more durability
As a quick fix, you can have multiple gates after each other
what type of gate are you using?
It wont stop some being destroyed but it gives you more time
What the F is going on with the starter dungeon spawns ? Jesus, there's like 1-3 spawners in there.. and it spawned a 2 star archer... this game thinks I'm 50 hours ahead ... ffs !
Rng giveth, Rng taketh.
badluck i suppose
Not currently, but I host for friends, which means I am sometimes afk for the entire duration of a raid
DarkWood, but they can reach the stone walls surrounding the gate too
Trolls and that plains raid with the special named ones have caused the biggest problems
i have a question. if i make a world with my friends in the public testing because i cant wait for it to release on main will that world be playable when the update officially comes out ?
Yep.
In most likelyhood you will be yes, but it can happen that something gets taken out of the game and the save will not be able to progress to a new version in which the thing doesent exist in anymore.
Do title updates require making a new world?
No
But there is a but
Oh?
You might miss out on stuff.
Depends on your progress, and what the update brings into your existing world. Read the notes from Devs, before updating
I'll try keep up yeah. At worst I can just keep my character and start a new one. New update looks great.
World*
Is there any tricks for building spikes to look nice while effective?
Are they even any use?
Hey Fellow Vikings,
Just curious, has anyone lost a save during any of the updates?
I have my original solo world, pre-mistlands, and have reduced it to a storage area for items from all of my characters over the course of a lot of hours.
Just wondering if I should transfer it all to a new, updated, map?
Or is it safe? My bad if I should have asked in another tab.
It's kinda like Gollum with his precious... I don't really want to lose the trophies, gifts from friends (with crafter names), etc
Updates should only affect unexplored areas. It wouldn't hurt to back it up, though.
Appreciate the quick response.
Is there like a resource spreadsheet that shows how much of each ore you will need?
Not taking cosmetic building into account
Need for what?
The wiki has recipes for things you might think to craft, though can also lead to spoilers early-game.
For gear there is pinned in this channel, for workstations and stuff tho i dont think so appart from looking at wiki
Question...is there a dedicated forum on here for those of us that play Valheim on the Xbox Series X/S?
only for bugs associated with the console afaik
As Tacotime said, other than bug reports and discussion all platforms share channels pretty much π
I also just sent that message lol
We are simply agreeing π€
friendmaxing agreepilled
yes it should be playable
same
caffeine doesnt effect me alot
so glad i joined the valheim discord server, i have found my people
What do you folks think of equipment upgrades
I think upgrading your pickaxes and shields can be reasonable but itβs not worth the effort when it comes to upgrading armor sets and weapons
i like upgrading stuff
All biomes are balanced to be doable with lvl1 equipment from that biome, but it will be a challenge, so depends on you how you want to play π
Upgrading in co-op can be so notorious
i only play with ppl close to me
like friends and family
I am not mining iron to fully upgrade 3 people
Co-op makes fighting so much easier π but doubles/triples/... grinding for sure
Pickaxe upgrades are good for durability
Just the convenience of not teleporting back home to repair the pickaxe
I am grinding iron to upgrade as many people as will play with me always
one must imagine sisyphus content
Honestly, I am not grinding like 300 more iron for armor that they will throw away once we reach silver
You'll still need the iron for more than armor anyway, if you have any interest in building
Iron for building? Cool
Iron for armor that you will dump after beating Bonemass? No
You'll still need it for gear looong after bonemass is dead
Well yeah but if you don't upgrade what you have it's just gonna be harder to get to the new ones
If itβs for a new set than itβs okaye
You will use it, trust the process.
Every biome is possible, you can literally parry golems with a lvl 1 buckler and unlevelled blocking
I always upgrad everything to max it makes live in the new biome so much easier in the beginning befor you get the stuff from that biome and if two people are mining iron it is not THAT bad... everybody should be mining enough to carry his own weight and all is good π
Yeah, every biome is possible but upgrading your gear is always going to be worth the effort put in.
anyone want to start a new server or world with me im brand new and a little lost
I do not mind putting in the effort - i am known for doing 25 frost caves to get me that one trophy I need for the fenris hood if i needed to I would do 30 π
today baked goods are my nemesis... i spent the evening backing almond-chocolate filled buns... and now I ate three (they are delicious) but now I am tired to much food π
I started a new server this weekend because some friends wanted to play, but still waiting for the majority of them to join in. Waiting to fight the first boss until they join is painful ;-; I've been trying not to advance or explore too much yet.
Hate that feeling, it's always hard to find people to go at juuuust the right pace with ya
that is why the only person I now play with occasionally is my son π all the friends that wanted to play with me have given up after I had to recue them multiple times. Why are male egoes sometimes so fragil they can not bear being rescued by an old woman? π€£
I sometimes wonder if that is why our kids won't play with us. They might not be able to deal with their old parents playing something so much better than they can. I like to think we raised them better than that, but maybe not.
my son is bragging about his gamer mom and has always played with me (the games we both like, not out of pity with the old lady but because he genuinely likes the games) π
Yeah, they are very willing to drag us into games they have already spent hours playing, even already beat, but to play some game where we have been playing a long time?
we made plans to start a new world together after Call to arms is out of PTB π he knows full well that I am way better at this game, but he told me: "That is very good, means I do not have to slow down because you need to learn the game and you can rescue me if I mess up!" π
Do trees regrow if I keep the stump?
No, you need to plant a seed to make a new tree
Anything specific in planting these seeds or doesn't matter where I place em?
I suppose they shouldn't be too close
Not too close, and dont plant most of them in mountains
Yeah, you don't even need to cultivate for them.
don't put to close to a rock in the ground...they need some space
they will be brown if you plant them 1m next to a rock
hi, mby wrong dc server but im looking for people to play walheim with, my friends are not often online and i dont want to play alone... hit me up or something if you have a server or want to start a new, thanks
Make a post in #1024264966712340510 and hopefully you can find someone.
you would be staggered though, so you wouldnt be able to capitalize on it
When exactly will ready for a fight be released?
What is 'ready for a fight'?
Oh, wait, you mean 'Call to Arms'. Could be a few weeks yet. Depends on testing.
call to arms yes it is, does it have an exact date or is it just a test for now?
Just in testing, probably for a few more weeks
thank you
What time zone are you in? I just got back into the game and also dont want to play solo. I'm in est. And usually pkay at night
cet
You're 6hrs ahead of me, that won't work haha
The only +stealth armor is troll right?
Quick question team.. if I started a world and character on the ptr.. can I then after ptr ends transfer that world onto the current patch?
Thank you!
Ideas for little things I can build out of resources from the Meadows until my friends jump on our server?
I built a little fishing hut/port intended for our sailing departures later, a little 3x5 garden plot, and a spiked fence for boar taming and/or zoning greylings for block and dodge training.
Aaargh. Spent so long running along the coast looking for a good spot for my base that I am now pretty much ready for the Elder while I have all the stuff crammed into a repaired little prefab cabin. Still haven't found a good base spot either...
Bah, time to go sailing and see if I find something better on another island.
Warehouse. Sets of shelves lengthways with at least 4m between, preferably more. You can stack the shelves 4 crates high. This will pay dividens. I would build it so you can add a second floor at some point too.
I've done a storage silo like that before, might be the next go-to
Hello! I forgot to join this new server for Valheim after the old one closed til now lol
And I was excited to play the update without spoilers, when it goes live... π

This is the same server.
Oh wait, really? I remember it got hacked or something along those lines and I left to be safe. I thought it was closed and got replaced with a different one. Good to know!
Guess im just back then π
No, it was all fixed in a couple of days.
Thats good! I wasnt very active before so I wasnt aware
Oh. I have already done a bad. Genuinely im so sorry. I shall delete my message and refrain from mentioning anything
No worries, you're not the first and certainly won't be last π , we just carry on reminding folks to try and avoid posting spoilers in this channel.
I definitely speed-ran messing that up tho lmao. Im sorry again. Thank you for telling me!
Considering that thing is in the trailer (multiple times even), it's probably the only "spoiler" that won't spoil much.
But it's always smart to be aware of what you post. Not just in PTB time, but always.
So everyone better start dusting off the spoiler tags so they're ready the moment the PTB turns into the live version. π
Entirely fair yeah. I watch a lot of content on YouTube about updates for the game and such, but I forget that not everyone's seen all of that lol
If you need to speak to server moderators, you can use @dusky pivot
Sounds like #rules-and-info might be worth a read.
And, y'know, we do have #general already.
can i use mods with the beta public test?
I wouldn't recommend it. It will invalidate any test feedback you provide.
Does anybody know the exact chances of a Frost cave generating with a lake at the bottom?
so i have a question i have been playing this since it came out put i just thought about something will it make it more sturdy if i put some foundations in the ground
Yeah, you definitely want things "in the ground" to make for builds that go as high as possible. Its not necessary for a build only going two, maybe 3, stories up. Like that is critical for using the iron posts, and going as high as you can.
Thatβs what I thought Iβve built some pretty tall bases but never put those in the ground but I always had to fortify my base for more stability
Its kind of touchy. You have to make sure the iron posts are going to ground, not just "close". So I put out my iron framework first, to ensure its based from the ground.
@light moat
truly been so long haha, still havent gotten back into the game. But, maybe I'll be active here again from next year who knows 
Question for yβall, do animals need to be above ground to mate?
wdym above ground
u can do that
No, you can have them in pits,
You cant' build anything underground.
Have the space and debating if I can stick a few to mate and build over them in the courtyard
Can I put stone floor over the pit?
Thats still in a building, and I do that often.
totally can, you can breed them in a building if thats your thing xD
I want them to walk out of a raised hole into the trench
I have 2 dwarf spawners in range heheh
Just a metric ton of wolves in my trench
making afk farm?
In my main, dug out a Black Forest plateau
Wide enough for a troll to fall in and canβt reach the walls bottom.
interesting
Yeah, people have actually trapped trolls, and kept them as pets.
Iβm unattainable now, I normals build on islands to get the same raid blocking effect
When I used to play, I liked raids tbh, I had a base with a moat and walls with slots I can shoot arrows from
it was fun lol
Now Iβm basically making a wolf spawning hole to spit them out endlessly
I spent like 80% of my time building so didnt do much fighting, so raids were a nice change of pace
I just sent a screen shot. Not sure how tall it is yet till I build this wolf pit
Do you do the same thing like boars or do they have to roam?
Unfortunately the need for wolf meat does not last long. At least for now. Maybe they will introduce more foods we can use it for.
Itβs my artificial moat
u can have all tamables inside i think (i know u can till plains)
i havent played beyond it
I put all my live stock in houses. Our walls and trenches do not stop fliers, and they will kill anything in the open.
I have a likeβ¦.. 75x40 4x4 stone wall sized plateau
I went overboard
And my own blueberry bush farm in the walls
Oh didnβt think bout flyers yet
bats lol
I hide doggos
Yeah, that one raid, with the wraiths and ghosts? They kill stuff inside my houses.
Iβve had a tamed 2 star stranded across the world for like a year
My base had a breeder building for all tameables, never had to worry about bats
Well Iβll make a hole for them but to ey fall out into the trench after
I dug too deep and fixing that. Plenty of room to work with
Ty!
o
Wraiths are irritating. I am standing right there, and they still go after my live stock over me.
No, it's 2m wide. That's the 2.
I didnβt know if it was a factor or not lol
Oh I guess itβs just βwood wallβ
A 1x1 is half a meter
Itβs a good time to get back into Valheim 
Congrats again on the most upvoted suggestion!
π
#suggestions message
I keep forgetting what the scale is. Like that 2x2 is just over our heads when you put it up. So its 2 meters. I still have to consciously think about that to get the scale in perspective.
A 1x1 is one meter
Boy I am not that drunk
π i didnt know that happened
The half sized is half a meter or their scale is so clapped
Iβd be like 12 meters tall if this is a meter
Thatβs a good suggestion
Your character is just under 2m tall. The wood door is 2m.
Yep.
Am I allowed to askβHow long is the game typically in public testing before the update release?
Of course you're allowed to ask. It'll probably be a few weeks. It's quite a complex update.
I'm assuming you're referring to the combat update?
God I can't wait until I can hit enemies standing on a slight incline
You might be able to if you join the PTB.......
odd question, did they change the parry window? i havent played since ashlands came out and i remember i was parrying everything, now though.....i can barley parry a boar lol
Idk, I started playing right after Ashlands released. You have to block at the moment the attack hits you, iirc
Also, make sure you're not using a large shield because those can't parry.
hey anyon e wanna startg a world\
Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might.
I don't mind doing that unless you are gonna leave in between

Following up on Derek's comment - the last big update (Bog Witch) went to PTB on October 15 and was released on October 29. I think I've seen things stay on PTB for as long as 6 weeks before but I don't immediately recall which it was.
Thank you
@storm willow About your screenshot, I put stakewall all around my Yagluth arena to stop spawns from getting in. I called it the great wall of cheeser.
Only 1 skelly trophy to go to have the full skeleton on my wall
There's no rule that says dogs can't play basketball.
you can block pretty early for a parry in this game, enshrouded is much tighter, if you've played that
no, ive just played a lot of valhiem. maybe im a bit rusty
the parry window is approx 0.25 seconds before an attack lands on you, if that helps
I only just realized that hildir is an amazing cheat code for finding good mountains
(876 hours btw)
what armor do i use with a kinda crossbow build
I wish we had an endgame stealth armor cos crossbows are too slow
Any really, cant see any armor really invalidate using them
the problem is they're invalidated by standard ngl
theyre pretty much only good for the first shot
Well, i dont use them, i like bows better, but know plenty of people who use them with no problems π€·ββοΈ
Yea bows are better in every way and situation thats what I dont like
π€·ββοΈ
Crossbows are too cool to get overshadowed
especially since we get them late and we all thought they were better than bows on the first playthrough
That is a very bold claim...
I mean every new weapon we get in biomes is often better than the last one
a few exceptions ofc like the dyrnwynn
So... You get a new bow and a crossbow in mistlands... And you expect one to be better than the other? Especially new weapon you have never tried before and are not proficient in, not having any levels in its skill... Thats seems a bit weird doesent it?
If you have the same level skill on both you'll prefer the bow, the crossbow is only better if you have no skills and the bow is very bad at low skill
Mate, its just for a different playstyle...

What are yall opinion on the atgier, is it worthy trying?
its awesome
Frankly it is quite op π the socondary attack staggers pretty much anything from the biome each atgeir is at except starred versions of "troll level" enemies
Should I start playing Valheim alone (never played it), or should I look for a group?
I distinctly remember getting chewed out in the old feedback chat for suggesting bears back in the day lol
Glad to see it though.
Hype
I never have fun in groups but theres people that only play multiplayer
Both solo and co-op are fun. π
They are better than bows if you never used bows until that point
Then you discovered the main point.
man
I've played about 7000 hours solo and perhaps 500 multiplayer π
I found a marker for moder, but it was across the world. After several hours of sailing I get there and the mountain is entirely circled by plains and mistlands, gonna be fun dashing through those biomes repeatedly getting the eggs up here lol
More often than not the Moder mountain will have enough eggs for summoning π
Why are people thumbing down a new way to get feathers early game, I feel some folks just thumb stuff down cuz they didnt think it 1st
There are plenty of feathers early game already tho π€
Name em all and the % of it dropping
Trees are what 5% and u better be good with a bow and sit there for 10 hours if u wanna snipe seagals all day
I've never had a lack of feathers. I think this'll also mess up progression by moving a tamable animal from plains to early game, which already has a tamable animal
Oh wait u need feathers for the arrows
Wood arrows?
Not for wood arrows
Those are barely arrows
You can go literally the entire game with them π
A single bird drops enough feathers for 30 arrows
I use wood arrows until obsidian.
Never used obsidian I went from flint to needle to carapace
Birds 100%, meadows+BF chests 16,7%, BF chests 25%, burial chambers chest 10%, beech trees 17%
Yeah those don't sound like good odds
They actually are π
Since you find many many of each and cut down MANY trees
Also, you find arrows in lot of chests too, i dont craft arrows until mountains π
I like to craft fire arrows in early game and use them until mountains because they're effective all the way through (except swamp)
but its more of a luxury really
How many feathers do you need?
Yeah, i still have scavanged flint arrows left over even now when i am ready to fight Yag π
Hello there! I was about to start a new world but just saw the news about the patch. Do we know when it goes live for the main build?
Should be a matter of weeks usually, however we have no real timeline since it depends what issues are found and how hard are they to deal with π
Alrighty then, thanks! May as well make a new save to faff around with in the meantime then
You can also join the testing if you want to π
That way you will get to play it now and you can help with making the patch better by giving feedback
Sadly I have a potato and have to play through GeForce Now :/
I wouldn't even guess anything atm
and you know the AMD issue π
Yeah
so that needs to be fixed
so best not to even guess
since this issue is not something we ever had before
The worst kind of issue: unprecedented
Challenges are simply moments to show growth, and by Odin, this game has grown. Yall got this.
@bleak helm english only my friend
is anyone here in the oricron server, i want to join but dont know how to
never heard of it. look in the #1024264966712340510 perhaps
ok thx
anyone wanna play? miss playing valheim
Look no further than https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510
Is it normal to have your Valheim client go unresponsive (not responding) on a beta version? Sorry newbie
Yeah it happens on vulcan for some people for some reason, go get the public tester role in id:customize tho so you can get access to the test channels π
Aight, tho i'm not running on vulcan haha
Might be a different issue than i have in mind then π€
I've had that only once and that was when I left Valheim paused running on background and did something else on computer.
Yeah kinda weird :/ Out of 6 players, only me who's getting Dc'ed
and i'm the one with the highest specs out of the group
guys when i play the playtest and the real update comes out later, can i still play on the "playtest" world file
yes
they are the same at that point
we move the PTB version over to the live client
but files are identical and will be compatible
must be nice to work at Irongate
I don't complain π

I used to have a pet stone golem near my mountain cabin, bloody They Were Bros event killed him. The bastards!
Quack.
Huh, the egg hatched
Clever bastard.
having the pressure of being an indie game dev team with the sales and community of a AAA company?
nah
#screenshots @storm willow in tears
Oh dear, raiding draugr villages with fire arrows (fire hazards on) might be the most viking thing I've ever done in Valheim. Rhaaaaahr!
And I'm gladn't in general. People enjoy Valheim for having a good mixture of appealing visuals and satisfying game mechanics and then proceed to bomb with requests to make the game as trivial as possible. Teleport ores, add bears, disable fog. At least devs add those requested things in a creative way.
i agree
the creativity is amazing
Any idea when new patch goes live? Not just test realm
When done, depends on bugs found and how long it will take to fix them.
Anyone here familiar with Dathost? xD
i am but im not sure how to rate it
ran a game with a group of 5-6 cuz somebody else recommended it. user interface is very comfortable however we did have some connection issues. Mainly some people had to put in the password 5-15 times before they could log in and sometimes game would desync. Dont know it dathost is to blame or was it the game being less stable. Ive played a couple of times with people hosting from their own pc and there were no such problems. Tho the issues were minor, just inconvenient.
Main reason I was asking is because my server wont show up in Community
A small gripe to be sure, but I want my server name to show instead of the IP in the menu >.>
hmmm. I did have the server named and everyone saw it on the server list
Yeah, it's definitely 'named' but idk. I don't think you can access the bat file from dathost interface, or I think I'd know how to fix it
might need to just get a dummy PC and dabble in running a server on my own
yeah I dont remember at all how i did it. for me it was intuitive and easy. I just put the server name somewhere and it worked. not sure if I named it on the dathost web page or in my own game
Today I fought drakes after jumping off the side of the mountain with feather cloak, it basically turns into a dogfighting simulator
The full Ask set feels great but all the damn resistances to peirce in the Ashlands means that your bow or crossbow is kinda useless after you get that first sneaky shot in
I've been switching to electric axes to close distance to the mob, which does feel very bad ass, but ranged just seems to struggle in general for dps
I will say though, very good armor set for gathering berries
But whilst still being able to fight stuff off well enough
hey does the latest bepinex for valheim work for the beta test?
See my answer in the other channel you posted in.
Probably - most updates break a lot of mods though so probably a moot point whether it works, since the individual mods typically break after big updates.
Could always test and find out? Just don't forget to make backups of everything
yeah didnt work
just tried it and there was no bepinex thingy at the top left
so i just gotta thug it out until they release an compatibility update or sum
that doesnt exist in new versions
but still, not the channel to be talking about this
oh
Is there an estimate of when the next update will arrive?
Probably a few weeks give or take
Think we're looking at longer than that. But basically we don't know.
Since there Is already an issue that was never encoutered before we really have no idea π
why is my game up to date on steam but i dont have the bears or the new stuff
Any ideas when ptr patch gonna go live?
no
hello what do i d???
Have you switched to Public test beta version of the game, which is updated to the new patch?
wtf why is it announced if the update isnt ready yet
so people would know theres a public test and could go you know, test it
It's updated to PTB version, not regular version yet.
is it fully fleshed out
PTB is for players to test out the new patch and report if they encounter any bugs/issues with the patch to help developers to find and fix them and release the update with no major bugs.
There Is still plenty of bugs and issues
All the announcements said it was ptb update tho...
You can if you participate with public testing.
there is no option for it in the betas
Option for what?
You need to write a code yesimadebackups to the text box to get the PTB version.
can i play the same world?
yes, if you made backups
As the code suggests, make backups of your files incase beforehand.
Once you download the PTB version you cannot reverse back before it goes live version.
Bruh i already downloaded the thing it started downloading as soon as i put in the code
Huh, well, at least I haven't encountered anything world breaking issues, so should be safe (unless you have mods tho).
you can still make backups of your character and world before launching the updated game
Maybe its fine i started this world yesterday
As long as it doesnt risk any files that i dont open
I have a multiplayer file aswell wich im not playing rn cuz im alone
Well, the world gets updated to the new version when you start it.
Also, keep PTB content in right channels here.

..thats when silksong comes out
according to the wiki the fallen valkyrie is uncommon, so why do I encounter my 3rd already on the same spot (around a fortress)...I kill one and 2 minutes later the next comes along to say hello..than combined with a 1star askvin...
welcome to ashlands
it happens to me every time i get far enough from their spawns
is not instant but for sure is frequently
RNG.
We got Silksong before the Deep North
so I am just "lucky" you mean?? I have enough of his feathers now...not sure for what I needed them again, but that's another story ;-)...still one flying around atm...and then...probably a morgen on my back...
no time to conquerer the fort π
thanks π
Its a bit too much, it can feel like a herculean task in ashlands to move 100m.
Please dont spike the difficulty of deep north just because its the last biome, or at least make it difficult in a different way like the transition from mountain to plains, if its mistlands to ashlands all over again I might ragequit.
It would be better if getting rid of the spawners stopped all charred spawning so it at least felt like progress. If you have a wide enough area you can literally see them spawning in a grid.
Ashlands was nerfed to within an inch of it's life. You'll be fine.
The server is English only unfortunately. And no, that's not racist.
The server-rules you agree to follow as you join states "english only".
Sounds like the instructions are in the message.
But i dont think I said anything hurtful I hope at least I checked and didn't see anything wrong
What did I do
There are literally instructions in that msg...
you can reach out in @dusky pivot if you wanna talk about it
I've been intentionally not making metal armors this last playthrough and its been such a nicer experience
armor sucks up so much metal, so not making it means I've needed to do so many fewer trips for it
Lowkey might do the same haha
hello, does Ivy grow on Plinths at that angle?
I usually only make the helmet as it does not have a movement penalty, then I do the light armor.
I like going full on the light armor for their buffs
Igu, I might do the full fenris set because Iβve been using the fist weapon heavily but itβs also quite frail so idk
I rarely find enough hair for a fenris set
I usually just keep using the root armor for ages
Ahh I donβt fw the root armor tbh, I just use troll till mountains.
root armor is op and I love it
Itβs not op but go off queen
resistance to piercing and extra bow levels is great
and the fire vulnerability rarely comes up until plains
The piercing resist is awesome, but thatβs just the chest piece. Light armor still with speed penalty turns me off, but itβs decent.
Set the resource world modifier up to 1,5 and you will have more than enough Fenris hair for a full set and upgrades once you've done 5-6 frost caves. Especially if you demolish all the draperies in there.
The cultist trophy however, that's a complete another thing.....
It's a shame hard antlers are only used for the picks. I feel like it could be used to make some really cool decor.
Well, his head does look good.
How many hours yall got
2 hours from the 1300 mark
Is there no knife or dagger style weapon past plains? Feels sad to leave my sneaky playstyle behind
At the moment I don't think there is, but I could be wrong.
I want to know how far the game has been updated
the last time I played, the final boss was just a big skull
yes
That sounds like yagluth in the plains biome. Since then we have mistlands and Ashlands biomes which adds many more hours to gameplay
Yeah that plus the smaller updates between the biomes like the call to arms which came out just a few days ago
It takes a lot of getting used to it for sure. It got better for me (re: getting places) when I decided that I do not have to kill everything. Most of them are real slow and you can just decide to walk away from a fight.
Hi there,
My friend and I are on a server together, we are having a issue with the devcommands, he can use the devcommands but i'm unable to
any suggestions?
Did you add it in the launch options in steam
I have -console in the steam under properties
Is this a dedicated server?
There's your answer. Dev commands aren't available on dedicated servers. Only single player worlds or those started ingame. Not without mods anyway.
hi, how do you know if you have a dedicated server?
is that the one someone would pay for?
i have a single player world, don't pay for a server; would my daughter be able to use dev commands on my server/world?
any one looking for some extra pple for there server im new
havent played this game in a hot minute......how do i get raw fish meat after i catch them? do i need to upgrade the cauldron to level 2 or higher?
there is another crafting station you need to build
is it obtainable in the swamp or after? i just got past the elder
yes it is obtainable if you are in the swamp
sweet thanks for the info
No she would not be able to, only the host of the world and if you host it on your PC thats you, not her.
You can have a dedicated server without payng can host it yourself etc
#1024264966712340510 is the place to look, also ideal to find someone in your timezone and/or near your location
How am I supposed to get anything done when this game is just constantly spawning wave after wave of enemies? Is this a survival game or a horde shooter?
Black forest is a perfect example of this. Killing dwarve nests does nothing to curtail the spawn rate in the immediate area. Day or night, anything I'm trying to do is interrupted by greydwarves. Soon as I'm done killing 5+ the game sends my way, there's another party of greydwarves on their way to be annoying.
It's really tedious. Did the devs not play their own game?
I don't even know why raids are a thing either since the game is already in a constant state of raid the player. I expect this kinda gameplay from helldivers but not a survival game.
Big tip: fire. Regular greydwarves fear nearby fire and even when you hold torch. They are also weak against fire damage.
I definitely died in the burial chambers and lost all my stuff. And keep dying when I try to go retrieve it
Some biomes are worse for this than others
Biomes like Ashlands, Black Forest, or even swamp have a nasty habit of spawning in a ton of enemies
Iβve also noted that the edge of the Black Forest biome has a habit of spawning more grey dwarves than anywhere else
Is there a way to use emotes besides typing /[emote] in chat?
you can use the bind command to bind any command to any key, which includes emotes
can't remember the exact syntax but iirc f.e. "bind H challenge" would bind the challenge emote to H
i can't remember if the bind command itself can be used in chat, it might require the console to be enabled, though i doubt it since using it after setting a bind doesn't
hmm, unfortunately I'm on xbox with a controller.. I think the bind command would even work there, but there are no unused buttons..
If the Deep North don't got any ice giants thin Valheim can go kick rocks I'll uninstall it
like the Jotuns
I've said it before and I'll say it again, deep north should have as mechanic where it remove the frozen weather effect if you sneak up and sandwich yourself in an icetrolls buns
Buns = arsenal cheeks. I suspect you guys can do better.
erm no
ohmy
it is
my bad, i crossed the line there π
hallo all, not sure if this is one of those "just look it up" questions, but ive not played in about 2-3 years and saw about the new update that is cooking. so does anyone have any good guides with good hints and tips for noobs that i should check out? not for speed running or anything, just to get over those first wee bits of grind? thanks
since then, we have added world modifiers. so you can adjust drop-rates etc
and they can be changed multiple times. so for that pesky first 2 biomes, you can just raise the drop-rate so you don't have to spend to much time farming materials
For sure check the world modifiers out, you can customize the experience quite a bit, and as Smiffe said you can change them even after first making the world, basically every time you are in the world select menu. Other than that, listen to the bird, pick everything up, make every item or building at least once, etc etc... the classics π
thanks muchly, thats great for the lil sandbox/building stuff. i enjoy that a lot!
Hello!
Considering I'm 56 years old, I got a lot of hours and I'm not going to calculate exactly how many.
That would be over 490k hours
Heh, getting born right into a computer chair with valheim fired up xD
Finnaly have all end game staffs and weapons and armor set after 4 fortresses in a single night
Well for lighting weapons anyway
Hey i just want to ask, are "call to arms" update is there new boss? or it just reworked the Elder skill?
there are a tons of things in the update

Is there a mod where I can dye my Vikings hair
I want my Viking to have pink hair like me
Folks in #mods-discussion might know about some π
lol I don't think that's an option at the barber station.
I indeed is not, hence why they are asking for a mod π
Anyone know how to make text on signs go white?
it's worked on one sign and the other just goes blue π
<color=white> and then text you want on the sign
comes out blue π
Huh, thats weird
maybe it's a greydwarf torch lightingit up blue? Please hold
Might be π€
XD At least you found the issue
looks blue and it was driving me mad for all of 10 minutes π refererencing the wiki too π
Use different torch π
ew
interesting
it's a night time thing. Night time makes the signs text when white look blue and day time it ignores the torch
Now it's a solid/broght white font
Well, night is a bit blue-ish π€ and the torch only helps to make it blue
and instead of large text going vertically, what's the horizontal text/line to add?
No idea π i only use color
Wiki has this tho, is taht what you are looking for?
Use \n for newlines (or \v for vertical tabs) rather than <br> for line breaks, to save two characters. Similarly, \t can be used for horizontal tabs, and \r for carriage returns.
Wherever you want it.
not working as well as I'd like it - it just includes /t
Make sure you're using backslash not forward slash.
no luck
I've never used this code so it's completely new to me π
I'm trying to get H O M E
rather than
H
O
M
E
<#FFC0CB> <size=50> <-- with that being a loose guide
Oh, it's possible your letters are just too large to fit.
I've found that letters wrap vertically when the size is too big.
ah yep, will recheck sizing
so size 10 keeps it in the sign so that renders /t useless.
eh, that's a challenge for tomorrow
Thanks for the help 
so I've found you can stick two signs side by side and split your lettering. You can also use hoffset and voffset to make your lettering float and hide the actual signs.
ain't it just so wholesome in what rabit holes you can fall in this beautiful game π love the sign discussion I am dedicated sign user to remind me what I need to be doing (memory is getting a little... shall we say creative?) π
Any trick to getting Ivy climbing on plinths.?!
This is the way!
One sign per letter, but it works
I saw somebody make the sign text really big and it floats above the sign
Does someone have like date or something when the call to arms update releases to main game?
When all issues are taken care of, we have no timeline π
when is call to arms update getting released?
Look at the response above.
did anyone find out how to build the new weapons onthe pts ?

Did they change what button brings up the console
Still F5
controller lol
Ah, yeah i think that might have been changed actually, i think somebody had that problem, let me search a bit
I swear it was Lt+menu but now it wont work
it opens another weird thing I never seen
Try LB+LT+start
how far does the terrain generate
That should be the console, π€ can you write anything?
Nop
Around 5 chunks from you iirc
if i walk along this red arrow is the hildir below it going to spawn in, im tryna avoid it cuz i want her to spawn at the top
wait i cant send images
The console was where the screen was greyd out and gave you options to the left
Try to look into settings, there should be option to enable it
oh why would they add a setting for that

No idea π
how high above the water level should docks be?
I do 2 clicks with the hoe usually
Apparently some areas get higher waves during storms so mine are quite a drop, like 3 or 4m
My base was a pretty horrible place to build a dock in general, it gets deep really quickly so hard to anchor support beams under water, I ended up having to do a cantilever
part of the reason I make earthen piers
hmm
The more inland you are the less waves you have
oopss didn't know that thing classified in this channel
Draugrs are not enough?
no they are stinky meatsacks
i want to have the full viking experience of pillaging a random village
I donβt think valheim is like that
Plains have you covered in that regard
tiny goblins
Are also people
ehhhh
You get to pillage village, thats what you said you wanted
true true
you got me there
just humanoids
They are sentient beings
And most likely no human enemies acording what we saw in teasers so far, but devs can always throw us a curvball ofcourse
I feel like a human enemy would only work if they were still corrupted in some way
draugrs exist
bandits
or vampires
but vampires def not
Vampires would be dumb
doesnt fit valheim
yeah i just threw evil people ideas
or just other vikings bcs didnt they just fight eachother anyways?
dont really know viking lore that much
they participated in ragnarok i think
In one interpretation of Valhala, during the day they have a fortnite last man standing royale then all get ressurected for dinner time
Who?
anybody want to play valheim
vikings
thats my name
Einherjar did, dead vikings choosen by valkyries for valhalla. yes
When they need to.
Which isn't the case in valheim
Killing fully human looking enemies would make me feel bad π I feel sad when I kill off a dverger camp after all the times they saved me, but sap is sap.
valid honestly
Well atleast you can get the sausage to make it less sad
Dvergerβs are the only reason why my group got past moder, her mountain was surrounded by mist lands on all sides
anybody want to play
Look in #1024264966712340510 π
No and yes.
But it also won't afgrond them.
All monsters will only calm down if you manage to break their Line of Sight for a specific time.
As long as they're able to hear you, they will investigate.
Meaning, you need to be in that cave for a while.
Ulf will find you...
as a person who just watched nyan cat theme for 10 hours straight i can completely agree
how do i enable commands again i dont have commands in ptb i mean after activating ptb
He won't.
Same way you did before. F5.
They saved me several times in the Ashlands too, but now they're all gone where I am right now π’
Doesn't building it this high make it hard to unload the ship?
I usually build a roof-ramp on the end that extends far enough into the water to swim onto, and I always keep cart mats in the boat
My first stab I have it set so the normal water height is at the bottom of the stone arch piece but it's still quite a jump to get in and out, and you can't reach the boat storage from the dock
personally I dont think the hassle of parking boats is worth being able to access the boats storage from outside of it
you guys have time to build docks?
I do this thing where I play the game for a bit then I decide I'm going to build something nice, then I spend hours and hours not building or playing the game, just staring at the ground and trying to decide where and how to build what
i have the same issue and its been happening so much that i just took a break
I just build simple docks now. Then when I bring in loads of ore I build in ladders to get me off the boat when I am fully laden with the ores. I have the cart right there to load up, then I just haul it to my smelters. Then I break everything down before it starts damaging my boat with wave action. Or stop the damage, if its already occurring.
ah I see, I think because of the way I build it and park my boat that it never gets damaged, but there is some swimming involved potentially
Yeah, a few play throughs I was able to build my dock in areas protected from the huge wave swells. So those were easier to utilize. But just putting in a temporary ladder lets me get everything off pretty quickly even when I have to worry about the huge waves and getting damaged. No swimming needed.
any idea of an average black stone output from a intact dverg tower?
No. I usually use those towers, so only have an idea on the bridges. Which varies with how many spans it still has. I'd guess 2 to 300 stone, plus metals.
Plus I prefer the bridges because you get a LOT of iron bars out of those.
hmm got a few bridges. Demolishing time
@sly verge
#building-screenshots message
Who is ulf
ahh I see what you were talking about
On of the vikings that were in Valheim before us, he made a few runestones you can see in game π
Ohhhh
I don't think people do that.
right on queue
Do you have a specific example?
kek
There's no example in your last post?
They mean in suggestion channel.
Oh. (ppst, what is it?)
- you can go with that to #steam-bugs-discussion, #xbox-bugs-discussion or #mac-bugs-discussion if it happens to you.
- No greydwarfs are not atracted to fire.
Ah, I see. So it was probably voted down because it wasn't actually a suggestion. Makes sense. I wouldn't take that personally.
All Iβm here to say is valheim is great and I love it, good job devs
You got any screenshots of this? I need to redesign my dock and honestly just thinking of minimizing it. I overdesigned it and now its just causing me grief
I'm really happy that the producer of Valheim is asking the community about how they want the new inventory system/equipment slots.
It's also a small personal victory on how everytime I'd bring up the topic I'd generally just get assaulted by the entire brigade of hardcore purists of this game, saying that the inventory system is literally PERFECT the way it is, and that Megingjord is enough a tool (the f?).
They are?
Why are you feeding it...?
I didn't realise it was a troll, my bad.
Well the post is real at the very least π
I'm really, really happy they're looking into it
there you have one of them purists π€£ π ahah
I'm a purist for liking a feature of the game as it is?
πΏ
Rianu, I think you were right the first time. Moving on.
I mean, its simple. A single row of stone blocks going out into the water as far as I can go, then I double it up from where my cargo hold is, so I can use the cart. I don't put on a roof or anything.
ooo more inventory space, count me in
I just think it's very underwhelming how rather than discussing it or disagreeing in a humanly fashion or a constructive manner as game passionates, every time the topic was brought up it had to be shut down in a harsh way, saying stuff like "if you dont like it, then play something else" or "if you want that b******* then download the mods".
It feels rather good that they're actually listening to feedback outside of a pool of such closed minded players π
I do think that extra inventory space should unlock in a later biome than right at start tho
I agree, would be nice if they introduced something like that backpack mod
though I don't like to play mods in general, but the idea is amazing
π
i personally dont like backpack one coz it looks out of place for a viking setting xD
perhaps they could make materials needed forbackpacks being available at later biomes, and crafting recipes purchaseable from NPCs or obtainable with missions
I think the gear slots are very reasonable too, cause it doesn't make much sense that stuff I am equipping takes space up my inventory.. like, if I am wielding a sword, why does it have to take up space in my inventory as im equipping it? π
I wish I could share pictures. I so want to share that image of that guy stacked with gear 15 feet into the air, or however high it actually is.
If you look into the comments under the post these ideas are already suggested π
same for armor pieces, honestly π
personally i would be happy with a small item bag, maybe you can only put items under certain weight in it, kinda like a good middle ground
so basically small stuff like mead/food in the item bag (prolly has like 8 slots)
backpack but limited in effect
the thing is that, since there's a weight limit anyway
IMHO having such reduced inventory space is only frustrating for the player experience
so honestly I don't mind some kind of upgradable expansion slots
cause weight limit will be still base and/or megingjord, so
he has helldivers 2
I really hope people will not start complaining about the weight limit if we get more inventory... We literally have way to increase it in each biome from BF to mountains...
ck3 ref ?
What?
am I nuts for thinking the greydwarf vocalizations should be way less bass-y?
asatru like ck3
What?
asatru like ck3
That hasn't really helped.
the game
Are you purposfully just repeating? Or is this just a troll?
not the tv show
I'm assuming they mean Crusaders Kings 3
If its not valheim it has no place here anyway.
i like valheim
I was guessing Crusader Kings 3 as well.
Is this the Valheim chat, or did multiverse just split?
valheim the video game from steam pc gaming
You can play it on pc using steam, yes.
i play on my pc steam gaming computer valheim gaming
do you guys like uptade with ennemie ??π
when dev add a naval battle cool ??π€
i like boat very fast veray cool
You and your friends are more then welcome to use as many boats you like and do naval battles.
Player have bow, crossbow and magic. That'll do
Did they change the "bee hive" spawns or something ? Not finding ANY
Nope

I wish I wasn't.
Do you happen to have some fortune teller abilities Thorin? 
I wish I had. But then life would be very dull, I'm afraid.
I think this is more a matter of "if it has happened twice, the chances that it'll happen a third time are significant larger as that it won't happen at all."
How long do ptbβs usually take until theyβre fully released?
Update of this scale at least a few weeks usually, but they are basically there untill all issues that are found are resolved, so it can easily take longer. +This time there seems to be previously not encountered issue so might be unusually long. π
so awesome how im in black forest gear and before ever visiting a crypt i have an army of swamp archers bodyblocking my bed and insta killing me
Did you get raided?
Hey, if i dont explore the north rn, will i be able to play it normally on my current safe when the update arrives?
Ah, so you killed Elder, each boss kill enables raid of enemies from next biome
they're one of the hints you get for which biome you're meant to enter next in the first place
Yep π
ok, thanks
-# though "swamp key" already makes that pretty obvious in the elder's case
The least clear way forward is either from mountains to plains or from swamp to mountain i think. Tho Moders stone does say that she is in mountains.
You should be totaly fine with that
Might need a 5090
Heh, i am using basically equivalent of the lowest recomended gpu and still get nice stable 60fps π
generous viewer right there
Yeah, gpu from half a year ago is old xD
Quite generous he sent it to you π
If its valheim related then in #screenshots
If the gpu then dont post it here really
xD that is really reaching tho
A picture of a GPU is not related.
Meh, it would be deleted regardless π
Lets not poke moderators too much
I might be sending them a message very soon.
Well, that makes my mind up.
Eeeh, for mods we have #mods-discussion
π§ββοΈ β about that time i guess
didn't even give me time to make a cranky comment
Was thinking the exact same thing. Just didn't have the time to write it.
-# i doubt they mean in-game mods
Cranky comment? You? Nooooo~ 
oh it's been a constant for whenever i look over here lately, hope that hasn't been too apparent
Was just thinking this lol
first ever serpent attack. The wild part was, I wasn't very far from shore at all. Didn't think they could spawn that close.
They spawn in the Ocean, but in some biomes the ocean border is very close to the shore.
Serpents also circle a bit around their spawn point, which means it could get even closer to a shore.
a serpent attacked me at day time, how? don't they only spawn at night and during storms?
They can remain active at daytime if they have spotted you during the night or a storm. Even when you may have missed seeing it.
If they spawned during the night they will despawn though at daybreak.
I couldn't remember which one did what, but fortunately there's always someone else to help other people here out by giving the final details. π
I just watched a greyling kill a 2 star fuling
he what
also whomever that was: no, torches don't need to be lit to prevent spawns
If they existed I'd say it was a 2 β Greyling Brute.....
But those don't exist so my guess is the Fuling was already at very low health.
Yeah I'd already hurt it and it got stuck in water
still really funny to see a regular greyling kill it
and survive
I have recently, on multiple occasions, ran into serpents in the middle of the ocean, in broad daylight, no thunderstorms no rain no funky weather, straight up mid-day. I can recall three separate occasions clearly, one of which was a different world than the other two more recent ones.
p.s. serpent meat is my favourite if I could catch it irl like in Valheim I'd be doing nothing else.
Will summoned skeletons attack greydwarf spawners?
not directly
goooood question, I want to say no but I don't recall off the top of my head.
Thx. I'm going to use one to level my blood magic
They will have spawned during storms.
That's so interesting. But I was sailing from quite far, so I wonder how I ran into it without it despawning. It was not alerted when I first spotted it. Maybe you mean it spawned during thunderstorm and perhaps I steered the boat and the thunderstorm ended but it stayed or something of the sort? Perhaps it spawned but it was far so it unloaded but never despawned until it re-loaded again within proximity (at which point it alerted eventually)?
Pretty much, yes.
#screenshots message @hollow root Pretty good one, definitely not anywhere near enough iron though. I think my record was like 40 crypts in one swamp
After a week of recovering from a medical procedure I was finally able to play Valheim again! We also finally got to the Queen. We actually got the last of the way there swimming and island hopping, and she is just on her own little island as well. So an appropriate way of getting to this particular Queen, I guess. So tomorrow we will fight her, on game day 603. Then on to the Ashlands.
is the update out for pc?
Not publicly, its still in testing.
anyone tryna play the playtest
I always get surprised how quickly I burn through a chest of iron as soon as I start building something tall
Go to #valheim-public-test
Why do people want backpacks so much
More inventory!!!!
You canβt even carry that much
#screenshots message @ocean girder Sometimes world gen makes those very small plots of different biome inside other, which can result in world gen placing these kind of "out of place" POIs.
I've had troll cave in middle of meadows in few maps, but the best "out of place" situation was Bonemass altar in middle of Plains. 
Yeah lmao I even ran around it to see if it was a tiny patch of forest under it but couldn't even see it so it's gotta be like 4 pixels directly under it
make a wood farm
Sometimes it can be so small it doesn't even show on map. Those are quite rare situations tho.
that may have been what happened
I'm confused someone update me. Is the new patch out or not? They sent two posts on steam about it...
its in public testing
O!ptb

Anyone for fishing on Xbox, my relaxed world
hello, when is the stable release for the bears update
Later
Unknown
When all the issues that are found are dealt with π we dont have any timeline really
backpacks / bags is the go-to sollution for alot of games on how to add storage or give the player a larger inventory space
I would honestly challange players to a diffrent sollution to increase the inventory space that is not just another item
since adding 1 item to the inventory to gain more inventory, just gives you 3 (out of 4) new slots or 7 (out of 8 slots)
reduce weight of items while in the cart
either drastically or completely
the solutions are right there
carts sucks in uneven terrain π
I think thats Rianus point, with reduced weight it wouldnt nearly as much
it still gets cought on alot of things and de-attatches :/
Maybe specialise the player gear combo, to get buffs/debuffs if you have the right/wrong gear while doing building/farming/mining/gathering. Now I rarely change outfit, or think of what to NOT bring when I'm leaving base. I 99.9% always leave with all of my combat gear, and I suspect those that complain also do that. And as an result of that only have 10 or so available slots to pick up loot.
True i guess, but even then, it would do that less with it being more manuverable π€
-# I dont erally care, even now it works great π
Could we use pack-animals?
you can't really get a card working fine in mistlands, mountains etc
In mountains you only need it to fall down which it does fine xD
But true with mistlands.
so the solution with a cart won't solve the problem
since it is in the mistlands and ashlands you really get the problems going
Hmm.... Could the "pack-animal" idea be done with existing boar/wolf/asksvin?
Maybe only stared animals?
Can craft saddle-bags at the Forge / Black Forge?
Capacity for 4/6(8 slots for 1 star and 6/8/10 for 2 stars?
Weight limits?
With the saddle-bags on, the animal can Follow player (Like Wolf)
But said animal should also be able to be killed, and if acting as mule, cant fight back. That way you dont have a fully functional fighting pet that carries loot XD
No Skyrim companion for sure π
I raised two real life "animals" that play with Dad, who carry everything I cant, works wonders
They as loyal as wolves, and follow you everywhere π
Maybe be able to buy a "armour-set" from Hildir to have in animal inventory, to increase chance of survival? And a "recall" whistle from Haldor to be able to call back lost pack-animal that was running away from a fight? (or a banner (placed at a base) that would give the animal a chance to return to what ever banner it's closest to.)
