[halcyon crag]

i'd be around the 250 mark between 175 and 400

currently you can go to a bonemass sized swamp and get literally 3 crypts there, when you could get 20+ in that space before

[hoary bear]

I know this problem, its because a circle doesnt have volume!

[frail cave]

okay, surface, i don't remember the terminology either

[gilded field]

@frail cave 314km^2 according to a redditor

[hoary bear]

Was just now reading to this, if I started a world before May last year and load a swamp up a few patches later (in present day) it got the same pois clumping together, does this answer the question?

[frail cave]

possibly, i'll check myself next time i boot up the game

[subtle parrot]

This happened on a map i was playing on as well, had a base at the foot of a mountain and next thing I know i log in and half my base is fallen cause the slopes changed when the mountain disappeared lol although I expected it cause I saw the notice here about how some things might change. Back when they were getting the maps to be the same on xbox as what was on pc for xplay

[halcyon crag]

tbh even when it was at 400 it didn't seem overly saturated with crypts, but it definitely does feel like there's a distinct lack of them now

[gilded field]

@limpid laurel have you tried this version..

[elfin swan]

Is there a way to turn teleport metals on, after the server has already been made and running for a couple of months?

[frail cave]

Change world modifiers

[pseudo nexus]

is my pc good enough for valheim?

[spark shell]

not yet

[opaque pond]

valheim on all high gfx gets my 3060ti all the way up to 80c @60fps/1080p

it might be 1.4gb small, but it packs a punch

had to set a more aggressive fancurve to accomodate its settings (80c is fine but i prefer low to mid 70s)

for comparison's sake I can play GTA V on the same settings at 62c instead of 80c on the same fancurve 😅

depth of field and particles being the main culprit, if i lower/disable those independently, the temp lowers, if I lower those at the same time, the temps lower twice over nearly

[safe coral]

Hello there, guys. We wanted to play the game 4 players but got a problem with heating. 3 of us have no issues with heat on laptops but the other friend has overheating and 35 fps lock (in settings nothing locked and in any other programs). Did anyone had the same here?

[opaque pond]

https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

If he is tech savvy in any way, get him to install fan control so he can set a more aggressive fancurve

it doesnt require being tech savvy really, just intuition in the gui

[safe coral]

He has a better tech than 2 of us (they got no problems)

their game runs perfectly smooth

[opaque pond]

better computer doesn't exactly mean computer that runs better.

if your resources are being hogged, you'll hurt

tell him to open task manager and see if the disk/memory/cpu is seeing unusually high activity

[safe coral]

he has 100% load on GPU

his GPU is by AMD

[boreal rock]

Are swamps always connected to the ocean or should we also explore inland?

[ornate finch]

Asus laptop? Tell your friend to check exact model. Start → type system information

[formal void]

They're almost always going to be tied to coasts, but I've found some swamps inland, but they've usually been very small.

[spare drift]

whats the next veggie after onions and where can i find them

[normal fern]

Hi! do we know around when valheim gonna get ashlands out?

[willow raft]

Carrots --> black forest (can be grown in meadows, black forest and plains)
Turnips --> swamps (can be grown in meadows, black forest and plains)
Onions --> mountains (can be grown in meadows, black forest and plains)
Magecap and jotun puffs --> mistlands (You can only grow them in mistlands)

Flax and barley --> plains (can only be grown in plains)

For more info: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Cultivator

[willow raft]

Between now and the 23:59:59 on the 30th of june or first half of 2024.

[normal fern]

ok

[foggy plinth]

before gta 6?

probably after...

[spare drift]

can only be grown there makes no sense tbh

so what do we have to set up a farm there

where is the mistlands even ive never encountered that biome and im at day 300

[lilac coyote]

So quite early on then. Mistlands is towards the outer edges of the world. Around 6000m from centre.

[willow raft]

How do you mean it makes no sense, if you try planting a crop that can't be grown in the environment it might not plant or will plant but wither and die.
Some crops can only be grown in certain biomes.

[spare drift]

gameplay wise

i think i unintentionally completed a side story btw? i killed smth called geirrhafa and it gave me "hildirs chest"

[willow raft]

It makes perfect sense, as in the real world, in colder climate some fruits and vegetables won't grow and in warmer climates others won't grow.
It needs a special installation to grow outside of their normal environment.

[spare drift]

what i mean to say is its a pain in the ass

[willow raft]

Yeah, you'll need to find Hildir and turn it in to her.

[spare drift]

not that its not unrealistic

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, it stops you hunkering down in one biome. Something the devs constantly do in the game.

[formal void]

Gameplay wise it serves the purpose of making players spread out, make more bases, and adapting to each biome.

[willow raft]

True but like derek and joneirik pointed out it serves a purpose even a gameplay purpose and a logical one at that.

[spare drift]

on an unrelated note, every single ost in this game is fucking awesome

im a violinist myself and plains ost slaps

@willow raft where can i find flax in plains?

[real nebula]

Fuling villages, either as a crop or rarely in chests

[spare drift]

i found barley in a goblin camp

[lilac coyote]

That's what she just said.

[spare drift]

theyre called fuling villages?

[lilac coyote]

Yep.

[willow raft]

Near fuling villages and in chests.
It was already answered I see.

[viscid geyser]

As long as I don't generate areas in ashlands/arctic biome, my savefile will be future-proofed?

[willow raft]

Yes and even if you accidentally see a part of the ashlands or deep north it isn't such a big deal, the part you have unveiled won't be updated but all the rest will be.

[spare drift]

you mean saves break on updates?

[viscid geyser]

I mean missing out future content

[lilac coyote]

No, there's a reason all biomes are in the game from the start.

[mighty ruin]

I've had the same seed since release and haven't had a problem with updates so far, Ashlands is said to generate differently so we'll wait and see!

[boreal rock]

Does popping a poison resistance potion help after you've already been poisoned or do you have to use it prior to even being bitten?

[real nebula]

You definitely want it to be prior

It will certainly not reduce the duration of the poison if you apply it after the fact, and I believe it doesn't reduce the damage of the ticks either

Both will be reduced if you take it before

[viscid geyser]

Same for root mask

It ony gives you poison resistance when you get hit while wearing it

[willow raft]

The mead and the mask don't stack, it will only use the highest number.

[spare drift]

at what age should i challenge moder

we just maxed out silver stuff and i ventured into plains a bit

[lilac coyote]

Not before you're 18 at least.

[spare drift]

lmfao

[willow raft]

Isn't that a bit young? 30 seems more appropriate.

[spare drift]

i mean at what point like iron age silver age

[lilac coyote]

She's the Mountain boss so...

[willow raft]

Silver will suffice.

[spare drift]

current equipment

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, looks good.

[willow raft]

Yeah, go for it, maybe some more arrows though.

[spare drift]

i just came back from an expedition haha

[zenith nimbus]

That's enough. I'm too bad at aim to hit it, so I chopped it with a sword...

[spare drift]

new arrows

[willow raft]

Yeah, that'll do it.

[spare drift]

what do you think of the fenris armor btw? should i switch to it over wolf?

[marble roost]

Depends on preference, I personally love it

My suggestion for when you go to plains is silver helmet, fenris legs, and root chest

[spare drift]

root chest? armor is kinda low on root is it not

[real nebula]

Light armor typically comes with other resistances or perks compared to heavy armor

[spare drift]

i usually happen to not mix sets together i use a full set most of the time

[still pendant]

I use fenris armor full set for exploration and normal day to day messing around my base locally.
The root armor has resistance against pierce which far outweighs pure armor stats

[real nebula]

Root chest has pierce resistance, which is really useful

[still pendant]

for pierce

[spare drift]

i think ill do smth like , wolf cape, fenris hood,root chest then idk

what should i do the legs

probably gonna keep it wolf legs honestly for the armor

[still pendant]

really recommend using the silver cap vs. the hood. The caps don't cause movement speed loss wherase the legs do. So I recommend going for the fenris legs and silver cap along with the root chest. Jack be nimble and all that.

[cedar sage]

hi, me and my brother is playing and when he tries to build (on my server and on his offline server) everything he places gets missaligned. he tried using his xbox controller and then he could build normally. he also tried disconnecting it and restart the game but still couldnt "align" building objects. what could be the problem? to be clear the snapping shows correctly, but then when he places the walls it gets placed in a different location, sometimes making the stuff float.

[spare drift]

what about the drake helm

[real nebula]

Drake helm is the silver cap

[still pendant]

apologies. thats what I was refering too

[spare drift]

bruh

[spare drift]

i should switch my cape to fenris then because i lose my res vs fire if i lose the hood

[real nebula]

Fenris doesn't have a cape~

[still pendant]

I also use an xbox controller to play. Could the alternate snap setting be enabled?

[real nebula]

Honestly a full set of fenris is really good for the mountains, fire and frost res, movement speed bonus and unarmed skill that makes the claws viable

[cedar sage]

this is how it looks like

we tried to disable controller in setting too

[cedar sage]

he tried going trhough the different snap settings and it did the same

he also reinstalled the game just now

the video was after reinstallation

we also tried disabling steam input 🤔

[still pendant]

I'm at a loss. m&kb works fine? or vice versa - controller works fine and m&kb hosed

[cedar sage]

he can play normally with m&kb, its only when building it is bugged. he tried to place with the controllerer and it worked. we tried unplugging the controller and restarting the game but it was still bugged, but we never tried disconnecting the m&kb

really odd. google dont seem to have much info about this either

also we have no mods. he has a new pc and first time playing on this pc, I forgot what parts was in it but im pretty sure its not that but still

[still pendant]

I'm not sure. But... I can say playing with a controller is pretty good. 🙂 Thats the positive I can give.

[cedar sage]

true!, its chill

[spare drift]

ive never been able to find a comfortable controller

i got big hands

[fathom badge]

Has he done any key rebinding? That kind of behavior sounds like it might be overriding placement on clicking for some reason, like hitting shift does normally.

[cedar sage]

so odd. seems like google dont know about this bug, and i tried searching the channels here (hope im typing in the right one haha) and my keywords found nothing 🤔

[fathom badge]

Like doing placement is hitting both shift and click. Or perhaps some kind of other controller remapping software or something?

[cedar sage]

only rebind I heard him do was changing the block and secondary attack button

[fathom badge]

For troubleshooting it might be worth having him undo all binds and reset everything back to default and see if it still happens

[cedar sage]

that seems to have been it actually!

thanks!!, he must have accidentally bind buttons

woho! now we can play again 😄 have a nice day everyone!

[subtle parrot]

Too big for an xbox controller? You got some huge hands lol

[spare drift]

keyboard is just way more comfortable

[subtle parrot]

Understandable

[fresh veldt]

Oorah big man

[spare drift]

@still pendant got the fit you mentioned

[marble roost]

Best fit

Now go to plains and get an uglier but more efficient helmet

[fresh veldt]

Plains fit goes so hard.
If you have all the parts

It even kinda goes with the mistlands set

[marble roost]

There’s two mistlands sets

[fresh veldt]

The scale armor not the Gandalf one

[mystic knot]

Hello, I need some help about my world.
So, I had a subscription for a server to play on it with my friends but because I don't want to pay for it anymore, I want to get my server world onto my local files.
How exactly do I do that?
I downloaded the .db and .fwl files and put them into my Valheim folder, but it keeps using an old safe.
Is the cloud safe the issue?

[vapid warren]

If you have a version on your cloud, its likely that it uses that, but you can go into manage saves and select the version you want

[mystic knot]

In game or do I have to do it in Steam?

[vapid warren]

In game. Where you select which world to play there is a "manage saves" button(maybe other wording)

Do you have it in worlds or worlds_local folder btw?

[mystic knot]

Got it to work, thank you! :)

[vapid warren]

Nice

[junior river]

Did they disable glowing letters for signs?

[oblique hawk]

It was never intended to be enabled.

There was a post explaining it and also having a workaround but, well, it's gone.

[junior river]

Yet it was, so they patched it out?

Bummer

[gilded field]

Unless there was a patch in the last couple weeks? The method still works.

[knotty arrow]

You cant get you signs to glow anymore

[modest wren]

hey all. I installed some mods Locally on my PC today as we neared the end of our playthrough

however, now I cannot get connected to our dedicated server (which is unmodded but has Bepinex support)

I have done the verify game files. I have uninstalled all the mods and uninstalled R2modman. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game 2x now

[vapid warren]

[quasi pagoda]

When I went to one of the Howling Caverns (Hildir) I found Tetra laying around in the cave. There were a couple on the ground outside the cave as well. Surprised me. I'm not sure if this a bug or not, or if it is a common thing.

[frail cave]

there must be a tetra pond somewhere in the cave and some have jumped out or clipped through the walls and fallen down into the overworld.
kind of a bug i'd say, not the first time i've seen it though

[quasi pagoda]

Ok, I did check the map with the world generator and the cave is both a Howling cavern and a Tetra Lake. Just seeing them on the ground in such numbers was unexpected.

[vapid warren]

You usually dont need to fish them, they just hop out at you lol

[quasi pagoda]

I wish the other ones would as well

[frail cave]

Hey guys ! I have a few kinda dumb questions. Is this the right place

I JUST heard of this game like as of now . I got it with game pass. Is it like a multiplayer server? I downloaded and played like Dayz not knowing it had real players

[stoic trench]

Nope, not necessarily a multiplayer game in that sense. More like it has co-op as an option. I like to compare it to terraria- the option is there to play with a few friends, but it’s not intended to be played with a large group.

[frail cave]

There are 24/7 open community servers though you just need to check #1024264966712340510 to get the password

Is there a rewarding experience for solo though? I started like googling and all the fun seems to be with friends which I don’t have lol

[vapid warren]

Unless modified, a server is capped at 10 people

[frail cave]

Oh nice! Thank you

[vapid warren]

I have 1000 hours solo, feels very rewarding, especially if you like to build

[frail cave]

I like playing with brand new people tbh

[marble roost]

Very. I recommend solo first run to figure it out and experience it yourself, or maybe with another new friend. I had the experience spoiled a bit by playing first time with experienced friends, but other than that multiplayer is a ton of fun too

[magic owl]

Can u play with me

[frail cave]

Yes

[magic owl]

I don't know what i'm doing so i could use ur help xd

[frail cave]

Are you on right now? I’ve been sick so just resting but I could probably sit up for a lil bit

[magic owl]

I am, i'm playing

But i dont plan on playing too much longer so that's fine with me, if you can

[frail cave]

I’ll dm you

[magic owl]

Alright

[civic snow]

hey i have a question, i asked this before but wanted to refresh my memory. I have a server that i just made that im playing with my friends, we want to play the ashlands when it comes out. will this server automatically update the ashlands patch or will we need a new server?

[vapid warren]

Yes, but any discovered area wont update

[civic snow]

define discovered ? like, loaded? and if so, how close do you need to be to load the area

[vapid warren]

500 meters max

[civic snow]

any idea how to measure that lol

[vapid warren]

Map is 10500 meters from center to edge

[green crystal]

You need to cross 95.3% of the distance from center to edge.

[vapid warren]

Stuff is generated in a square around the player, i think 9 chunks in any direction. Each chunk is 64x64 meters

[civic snow]

ok, so not within 500 meters of any of the ashlands and when the patch comes out we're solid? i appreciate the clarity

[green crystal]

It's pretty easy to do accidentally, especially at the far extreme east and west.

[vapid warren]

Yeah, and if a part of ashlands is generated, the rest wont be ruined

[strong cairn]

i cant get this to raise any higher? is there a way to get around this?

[civic snow]

oh for real?? so only the discovered part is fucked up?

[vapid warren]

You can only raise ground 8 meters up, same as with digging 8m down

[civic snow]

thats neat actually

oh also, el dorado is a banger

[vapid warren]

Yeah. Unless youve raided ashlands thoroughly youll probably have a decent experience

[vapid warren]

https://tenor.com/view/dahliabunni-road-to-eldorado-gif-22680837

[vapid warren]

But I'd still stay away for the best experience

[civic snow]

yeah, plan on it, and the deep north, for whenever thats updated

[untold trail]

[short jay]

is there a way to see what bosses have been beat on a world?

[vapid warren]

other than checking what trophies are hung on the starting stones?

[short jay]

yea

[spark shell]

maybe listkeys in devcommands to see which keys are set?

[short jay]

ohh yea thats a good idea

yup that worked thanks!

[spark shell]

:D

[rancid spire]

Is there any recommended youtube tutorial for Valheim mods, muiltiplayer and installation? There seems to be a few different methods.

[untold trail]

I've downloaded Armoury Crate and noticed the temp on CPU gets up to 80 degrees and MHz/clockspeed drops to 200 then shoots back up to 3500.
It's resting CPU temp is at 60

[frail cave]

Try #mods-discussion

[frail cave]

Thunderstore is where it’s at there’s only a few mods that don’t work through thunderstore (custom raft and farm grid from what ik) besides those thunderstore works great and makes modding easy

[versed marlin]

can anyone craft me a draugar bow

[marble roost]

hmmm usually not too many people jumping on the trend of giving people stuff. Mainly just because you are able to spawn in anything you want anyways if you turn devcommands on

[broken crest]

are you supposed to be able to hit summoned skeletons? wiki says it should be impossible to hit them without using the butcher knife? i seem to be able to damage them with all weapons

[frail cave]

do you have friendly fire enabled?

[broken crest]

ohhhh i did a while ago to duel a friend

[frail cave]

friendly fire allows you to hit tamed animals (including skeletts) with anything

[broken crest]

lmfao

[willow raft]

Its a decent way to train your weapon skills.

[viscid geyser]

Is there a faster way of harvesting carrots, turnips and onions?

[vapid warren]

holding E while spinning back and forth while walking down the field

[spare drift]

shits getting serious?

[willow raft]

That means you might need to get some better gear or that you haven't killed the previous boss, I forgot what that message is tied to.

[spare drift]

it said the same thing when i killed geirrhafa

[brazen sedge]

I've been trying to find the location of the plains boss for a while now but I don't seem to be able to, I've travelled to multiple plains, cleared multiple fuling camps and killed ||Zil & Thungr||

[willow raft]

You can do it, it might just mean that you haven't reached a threshold the game expects you to have once you go into a certain area.

[spare drift]

sort of like a "dont blame me if you die" reminder

[willow raft]

It can take a while indeed only thing I can say is either you persist and keep on going till you find it or use the seed viewer to find out where you need to go.

[willow raft]

Exactly.

[spare drift]

does haldor have no quests? why are most of them hildir?

[real nebula]

Haldor doesn't have any quests

He's just a merchant

[spare drift]

aw

i mean hildir only has cosmetics and theyre kinda useless

[willow raft]

The buffs are kinda useful but from a certain point of view they might look useless.
They are fun though .

[small nest]

storm that is aproaching playing the game?

gained my respect

[lilac coyote]

The buffs are not useless.

[zenith nimbus]

A reduced use of stamina is not worth zero armor

[real nebula]

While inside a base for building, it's pretty neat

[small nest]

get rested buff and good stamina food, thats it

[willow raft]

Yes it is, when you are in your farm base, in a spawn free zone, it is awesome for planting, zooming around and building.

[willow raft]

Add the reduced stamina use and it gets even better.
With the reduced stamina use it means that you don't have to consume food or can use cheaper food that you have lying around anyway.

[halcyon crag]

it'll help you die faster to the starred raids you'll get xD

[small nest]

good point 🤔

[real nebula]

Just switch to normal armor when that happens~

[willow raft]

Have the armor you would use for raids nearby or on your person and swap when needed, with enough spawn protection and base defense you have time to change or even disregard it completely.

[halcyon crag]

it's nice perk if you want 0 encounters and only build and farm with passive enabled

in a normal playthrough you'd never be caught with pants down like that xD

[subtle parrot]

Hence spawn protection and base defense

[halcyon crag]

if you really wanna go to the effort of spawn proofing 200m+ to fully ensure nothing spawns even during raids then sure, but a single lost skeeter can one shot you if yr not careful otherwise

[spare drift]

@willow raft do cave markings serve a functional purpose?

[willow raft]

What do you mean by cave markings? (you can post a screenshot in here I think)

[spare drift]

"ancient cave marking" in caves

[willow raft]

Nope, those have no functional purpose as of now and might never get one.
More a lore kinda thing.

[spare drift]

aight gotchu

[spare drift]

how should one efficiently farm feathers? just go around hunting birds?

[opaque pond]

its probably not the most efficient means to get feathers, but I find it helps to go out while it's raining; the birds don't fly away nearly as much and you can gather more than if it wasn't raining

[tribal jetty]

How can I bury a box underground?

[fathom badge]

Raise chickens?

[subtle parrot]

In the rain you can almost get close enough to stab them in stealth

[subtle parrot]

Pickaxe to dig a hole, put the box in the ground, hoe to relevel the ground around the box

[vapid warren]

if you cover it with too deep it will break

because the area under ground is just as empty as the air above, so it's like if you built a chest on the ground then dug under it

it needs to touch the surface

[tribal jetty]

I did, but the box broke

[vapid warren]

yeah, like i said lol

[tribal jetty]

I want to make a chest and put valuable items in it using cheats to use in case of emergency.

and bury it underground

But it doesn't work and the box is damaged

[vapid warren]

yeah, like i said, it needs to touch the surface from underneath

[tribal jetty]

OK thanks

[vapid warren]

it would work if you used a personal chest

[tribal jetty]

Ohhh

[vapid warren]

because they dont break even after you break what its standign on

[tribal jetty]

You are right, thank you

[subtle parrot]

Personal chests can still break

My first attempt was probably too deep in the middle of the hole, so i moved closer to the edge of it to be slightly closer to the surface

[fathom badge]

Remember, zones that players are currently in are effectively paused and completely safe for anything. Burying a chest is an interesting concept for roleplaying type play, but there are a million better ways to have an emergency stash.

[frail cave]

I miss when you could bury workbenches

[fathom badge]

I mean, you still can... just not completely 😉 I just replace them with campfires for spawn prevention after making sure the area is covered because workbenches show their radius, and work the workbenches into the architecture if I need them to actually function to build something. Random sheds in my fields and such.

[stiff oak]

Hi I havent played in a long time, logged in just now and everytime i try to put clothes on or hold a weapon it says the gods reject you and set me on fire lol what have i missed and how to i play.

[fathom badge]

Sounds like you've got some mods installed. That's not in the base game. You might want to uninstall those or go ask in #mods-issues

[stiff oak]

ok thanks

[frail cave]

I can’t stand the look of random sheds though

I use to bury stonecutters too for quick wall repairs

[errant hull]

Just wondering if anyone has any advice. Throughout the game I made new bases in the new area to experience them. When I got to the mountains I made my biggest base yet, basically a small caslte / fort. It took forever but came out amazing. I wanted this to be my final base and been using at such. Problem is I got 2 boats full of black metal ore I need to get to my base, I got them and travelled back to my mountain however the issue now is getting up. I can only carry 30 ore at a time and it takes 8-10 minutes depending on enemies to get up the mountain per stack. Is there any more efficient way to get up?

[fathom badge]

Not really, unfortunately. That's one of the downsides of building in the Mountains. After you defeat Yagluth Fulings will spawn at night in most biomes, including the Mountains, so that can bring black metal to you directly. Otherwise, you can put a temporary portal connection between where the ore at the foot of the mountain is and your base, and only run the trips in one direction. You could also modify the world settings temporarily (or permanently) and allow metals to go through portals. But I try to not do that, it really breaks a lot of the game mechanics.

[granite shard]

Hello, I am new to valheim & I am trying to join a community server, anyone know how I go about joining a server kindly

[fathom badge]

There are no "public" servers, all servers are run by individuals. The game is primarily designed around single player, multiplayer is an option and generally intended for just people that know each other because there is little to no hack protection. If you're trying to find a server, look in #1024264966712340510 and there are listings there for many different types of play

[granite shard]

thank you so much

[errant hull]

Thank you man, yeah I want to play as devs intended and not edit settings or world hop or anything. It's just a pain that I need so much black metal to max everything out. Worth it tho the fort base is 🧑‍🍳 💋

[subtle parrot]

Could alternatively make a small temporary base for smelting and upgrades at the base of the mountain as well

[jolly bane]

Just got to the swamps, feel powerful in black forest but i get WRECKED here. Full bronze armor and 90hp. How do I progress? I feel like im rage quitting

Though I havent killed the second boss yet

[subtle parrot]

Craft poison resist meads, but first i suggest killing the second boss so you can get into the places where you can mine iron in the swamps. It's a big learning curve from BF to swamps

[frail cave]

90 hp is a little low for using cauldron foods

Like 90hp is meadows tier

[jolly bane]

Good tips, thanks. Seems impossible atm haha, but Ill give it a try

[frail cave]

What food are you using? Likely your biggest issue

[fathom badge]

You should be eating deer stew, minced meat sauce and queen's jam level food on your first forays into the swamp

[subtle parrot]

I remember feeling the same way when i started, but persevere and you'll get through

[frail cave]

Carrot soup>>>>>

[fathom badge]

Oh right, that too. Bit easier than jam 😉 Still, an HHS type food build is generally preferred unless you've got the mechanics down.

[frail cave]

Less collecting more stats ayo

[fathom badge]

I spend most of my time in the Plains and Mists any more, I don't always remember the early game progression details

[frail cave]

The fact it’s cheaper and lasts 300s longer is kind of wild

Queens jam needs a buff

Or wait portions created is different so I guess that would be the trade off

[jolly bane]

Carrot soup + other stuff, mixed diet, boar jerky

[frail cave]

I guess that’s still 14 gathered mats for 4 dishes compared to 1 for 1

[subtle parrot]

Parry everything

[vivid wind]

Hi. There must be a thread somewhere I cannot find in here. Sorry if this isn't in the right place.
This is a request for some late-game players to assist me and my friend in our server world. We have lost our equipment and tons of playing hours on the mountain and would need extra members to help retrieve our equipment and defeat Moder.

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks,

[fathom badge]

Dodge roll everything 😉 Stun them with DPS, not parrying 😛

[frail cave]

There’s a whole server called body recovery squad that’ll have people to help you

Idk if they’ve got a new post in #1024264966712340510 since the wipe though

[fathom badge]

They do

[vivid wind]

Is there an alias or should I just post a looking for with their names

[subtle parrot]

Boar jerky is ok, but i feel it's a waste of boar meat and honey for me

[fathom badge]

Boar jerky is efficient for resources, but it has quite a bit lower total stats it gives you as compared to specialized foods.

[boreal rock]

What's the best way to deal with Sea Serpents while solo in a karve? I barely got out by approaching land this time, which made it go away. Didn't manage to nuke it down with wood arrows this time. When we were two people and had flint arrows it was easier.

[subtle parrot]

I would avoid them solo in a karve, or use poison arrows or a draugr fang. Karve is not quite fast enough to outrun serpents in open ocean.

[green crystal]

Hug the coastlines, if that didn't occur to you yet. There's another tier of boat you need to tech into.

[boreal rock]

Even with the next ship we had problems. The serpent was still faster than us.

And well, we can't hug the coastline, we were unable to find a big enough swamp on our starting island so we had to do very deep expeditions.

[green crystal]

Huh. There's usually islands close enough that there are isolated ocean biomes you can easily avoid.

[fathom badge]

Are you trying to kill them? A harpoon is great for that. But if you just want the meat, sailing at a constant clip they should be reasonably squishy to arrows, even just flint arrows if you have a finewood or hunter's bow.

[subtle parrot]

I always forget about the iron tier bow

[boreal rock]

We don't have iron. We don't have harpoons.

[fathom badge]

I always used to skip over it until I figured out exactly how quiet it is. Like, nothing hears it.

[fathom badge]

Harpoons are from Leviathans, you also find them in the oceans. The islands with chitin on them?

[subtle parrot]

It's a great perk

[boreal rock]

Oh, we did actually find some chitin, yeah.

[fathom badge]

For real. I use it for hunting lox so I don't have to deal with multiple stompy boys trying to squish me at the same time.

[real nebula]

It might be a touch early to hunt serpents then, imo. You need iron to process most of the loot that you'd be getting out of them.

[boreal rock]

Alright, I'll try to get to the base in the karve, then I'll build an iron ship and a harpoon.

[boreal rock]

We aren't hunting, just trying to survive and tech to iron.

[real nebula]

Ah, gotcha

[boreal rock]

It took us 5 islands to find a swamp with enough iron. 38 hours. Pretty mental.

I'm told this is very unusual.

[real nebula]

it is

would you happen to have your world seed at hand?

[boreal rock]

Yeah but I'd rather not share it, haha.

[fathom badge]

Yeah, it is. Bigger swamps usually have more crypts, but they're not often that rare. Have you gotten some turnips and started those growing at least?

[green crystal]

Has anyone said the Ahab strategy of jumping on a Serpent's head and throwing all 8 of your bronze spears into it's back? No?

[real nebula]

Fair enough, just curious~

[real nebula]

I like to jump on their heads for the last bow shot and hoover up the loot that way

[boreal rock]

Yes, I have a turnip farm. Why do you ask? What are they relevant for other than making higher quality food?

[fathom badge]

Nope. Food is just critical to progression and many people don't prioritize it, so I was just checking to make sure 😉 Make sure you upgrade the cauldron and make fermenters.

[boreal rock]

Yeah, I have two fermenters and a spice rack.

[small nest]

you guys make food? im beating yagluth with deer meat, boar meat and honey

op food

[frail cave]

Why not just play on very hard at that point

[small nest]

thanks for idea, ill keep it

are any enemies weak to lighting? do they take aditional damage from it?

[fathom badge]

Wet creatures, and looks like blobs, oozers and seeker soldiers possibly

[small nest]

so misty atgeir is good against seeker soldiers, alright thanks

[fathom badge]

According to the wiki. But they're also weak to all forms of magic, not just lightning. Might be just their abdomen though? Needs a bit more investigation to be sure 😉

[frail cave]

yea it's just their weakspot.
the rest of their body is neutral to lightning damage, which is still not a bad thing, seekers and seeker soldiers aren't weak to anything outside of the soldier's weakspot, and nothing in the game resists lightning, so it's a really good general damage type.

[fathom badge]

The expert has chimed in

[frail cave]

i wouldn't say expert 😅

[fathom badge]

Good thing you're not the one saying it, then 😛

[frail cave]

it's also an instant damage type and the only elemental damage type that deals stagger, so mechanically it's as good as physical damage types.

40 hours in, still haven't found Haldor. 😐

[marble roost]

How much of those 40 have been sailing?

[haughty hinge]

I think it was Bradbury who wrote that if you want to find someone, stand still and this person will appear. Otherwise you're moving, he's moving - much less chances to find each other

But i admit this won't work with Haldor

[boreal rock]

The sailing itself? Perhaps 2 hours.

[haughty imp]

He's not moving though. He and Hildr stand in the same exact place all day every day

[haughty hinge]

Yep, he's not interested in obtaining his only possible client in the whole world

[gilded field]

Based on immunity and resist stats, frost is another solid general element

[versed marlin]

can someone build a base for me im terrible at designs

[opaque pond]

I'd recommend looking up some build guides on youtube, there's a plethora of them that offer great advice and will equip you with the knowledge needed to make better builds. It's satisfying once you get better at it too

[lilac coyote]

We also have a whole building section of the Discord further down that is just getting back to normal after the hack, but definitely has some very talented and artistic peope.

[humble sky]

I'm trying to fight wolves in iron age. I already have a mace, but I also want a two handed solution. Between the Atgeir, Battleaxe and Sledge, which one would be the best (and most economical, I don't plan on wasting iron upgrading it) at taking down wolves?

[opaque pond]

I'd personally say Atgeir, mostly because of its AOE potential

[humble sky]

Thanks 👍

[opaque pond]

np

[frail cave]

Honestly if you make a post in #1024264966712340510 saying just hey I really don’t want to make a base but I have the materials for it will someone come build it? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone shows up. But you’ll want to stock up on the mats first

[opaque pond]

It kinda sucks to be in a constant state of relying on others to create what you'd like to though. Who knows, maybe they'll become a really really good builder once they take the time to learn about it a little. The chances of someone willing to do that for them each time they want something built is also rather small. The whole "teach a man to fish" vs "giving a man a fish" thing comes to mind, but do you ofc :)

[simple kestrel]

I'm trying to get this ground that i raised with a hoe to connect to the iron pole for it to turn blue. i cant get it closer probably because im at the 8 meter cap. any solutions?

[boreal rock]

How do you cancel a bow shot? Currently I always switch to a melee weapon.

[vapid warren]

dont think there's another way

or unequip

[opaque pond]

you can cancel a bow shot by pressing whatever key you have "Block" assigned to

[vapid warren]

ah shit youre right, nice

[marble roost]

yea block is my goto

[gloomy edge]

If you're okay with a slight cheat, you could spawn a small rock just for this

[sand tapir]

Why is my game so laggy now? I stopped playing a for a couple months and when i got back to the game im being limited to only 30 fps max?

[haughty hinge]

Why don't you just bring the beam itself 20 cm down so it touches the ground? 🤷‍♂️ It would be blue then.

[plush knot]

raise ground

[gilded field]

They had reached the raise cap

[frail cave]

If I max base raids how often do they occur? I'm looking to farm a specific trophy and I'm told thats the best way to get it, also does difficulty have any bearing on the frequency?

[marble roost]

Difficulty does not affect chances of loot. I think it does increase chance of stared mobs but that only matters for non trophy loot I think and not for raids anyways

[marble roost]

This is for raids

So I believe raids have a chance to occur every 46 minutes if you're at your base. If you're not at your base the raid won't happen (unless it's the "hunted" wolf raid in mountain or plains). If you are at your base there's a 20% chance

Much more raids bumps the chance up to 67%

so a lil' over 3 times as often

[frail cave]

Awesome much appreciated. Hoping for a rancid remains skull soon

[spark shell]

9 times, since the interval is also a third of 46

More or less

[young bridge]

If you go as a team it is also beautiful that two of them, for example, have spears and throw spears at him. Don't forget to disable automatic object collection. If you play alone, in addition to the bow, a spear is good to damage it.

[small nest]

you can also do the knife tactic, youre just damaging troll and dodging his attacks by rolling into him

its not very effective but you can train your dodge skills

[spark shell]

Try to aim for the head if you use bow
Also manage stamina, trolls are slow

[civic iris]

Hey guys 😉 we've been playing on a dedicated hardcore server with combat at very hard and we're loving it 🙂 so much that other of our friends joined, which meant that creatures got even deadlier (Dynamic Difficulty Scaling by number of players). Anyone know how to disable this completely ? Goal will be to balance game to be very hard but consistent so we can plan in advance "what can we tank with that gear / there's a troll there, we need to be 3 to even attempt it"

[vapid warren]

The damage is only increased by 3% per player nearby, up to a max of 15%. It shouldn't be that bad

[civic iris]

4% if i recall but the bigger issue is damage dealt to enemies
Damage dealt to enemies by anything is reduced non-linearly based on the nearby player count. The formula is damage / 1 + (playerNum - 1) * 0.3, which works out to 76% for 2 players, 62.5% for 3, 52.6% for 4, and 45.5% for 5. The number of players is counted when each attack lands.

at 5 we're getting hit 20% harder for a much longer time - taking in account that only 3 of us are actually "good" at it - the rest are not even close skill wise, most fights end up with RUN AWAY WITH YOUR LIIIIiiiiiives smash sound - ..... where's billy ? xD

[vapid warren]

3 or 4, i know the HP got reduced from 40% to 30%

[civic iris]

Yeah we're grateful for the opportunity to make the game much harder, trying to find a way to keep it consistent / removing any playerCount scaling 🙂

[vapid warren]

yeah not in vanilla

[civic iris]

any mods you know that can do this ? spent a couple hours looking and it never tackles the playercount scaling (maybe i just missed it?)

[vapid warren]

that'd be a question for #mods-discussion

[civic iris]

indeed 🙂 thx mate

[marble roost]

At that point would it be too bad to downgrade to hard difficulty?

Also I love my fellow Very hard masochist, but I just upgraded from hard to very hard. Any advice? I'm thinking my biggest thing early on is gonna have to be training my block skill so parrying is actually viable

And being extremely careful of the all too common 2 star enemies

[ruby lotus]

what's the best armor set for the mountains?

[vapid warren]

depends if you mean going into mountains or that you can get in the mountains, and if you like heavy or light armor

[small nest]

there are 2, wolf and fenris, wolf is heavy armour which slows you down for additional defense and fenris armor provides less defense for additional speed (9 percent or somethin), also resistance to fire

[ruby lotus]

what about mixed? is there any good mixed sets?

[ruby lotus]

get in mountains

[vapid warren]

then look at the post by autismoooo

[ruby lotus]

yeah ik there's wolf and fenris, but what about mixed?? or is that bad and should you just go for 1 set

[small nest]

you can go with wolf helmet, rest with fenris and wolf cape

[vapid warren]

fenris set gives fire resistance and extra to fist attacks, if you dont care about that go for wolf helm

[ruby lotus]

and also a bit of frost resistance right? but the main reason I'd pick it is cause of the speed

[vapid warren]

both chest pieces and the wolf cloak gives frost resistance, and none of them stack

[ruby lotus]

aah ok

[light acorn]

How long does it take for a mob to despawn.. got the fenring raid and a 2 star just wrecks me. Already used my back up gear and I'm just getting 1 shot

every time I try to join my friend server this pops up before the password screen. Can someone please help

[ornate finch]

If all of your friends are on Steam, tell the host to disable the crossplay option before starting the server (option is right next to start button).

[ember night]

is there any advice for how to get my friends xbox to join my hosted game? and/or why the only way my daughters PC can join is either with crossplay off, or with cross play on but she has to come over and be on the LAN?

[median dawn]

ive already disabled crossplay and it still doesnt work

[ornate finch]

If you need crossplay enabled on the server, so that Xbox + PC gamepass (MS store) players can join, you have to ensure the following:

• that no player has IPv6 only public IP (type my ip into google to check)
• that a PC user has necessary PlayFab packages installed (Win11 Pro usually doesn't → install the following package: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
• that no PC played users VPN (start → type network → change adapter settings → check if any VPN adapter is installed)
• that a player is not behind strict CGNAT (Xbox has a NAT test on advanced network settings, and on PC you can perform this test: https://ip.bieringer.net/cgn-test.html

[ornate finch]

How many players intend to play on the server you are trying to connect, and has anyone successfuly connected?

[median dawn]

2 people including the host

[median dawn]

when we first made the server we were able to join but no one other than the host can join now

[ember night]

thank you. just want to clarify: ALL PC users need the PlayFab installed? i had already installed it on mine, but I doubt the kid has.

[ornate finch]

w7 is not supported in general, w10/w11 should have those packages already, but for some reason that is yet unclear, some users don't.
Best to install them just in case.

[boreal rock]

How does the harpoon help with killing sea serpents, by the way? Is it just about preventing them from escaping rather than killing them?

[steep tusk]

That and the ability to drag them out of the water.

[marble roost]

You drag them onto land where they can't maneuver, you can hit them easily, and you can get extra drops from them that usually sink in the water

[boreal rock]

Ah, the scales, for the shield

[light acorn]

Any thoughts on an ideal mixed armor setup for plains. Have full root, fenris and padded

Was thinking root chest, fenris hat, and padded greaves

But at that point is the 3% speed even worth it for the low armor?

[plush knot]

I would do fenris legs, padded helmet
Helmet slots don't have any negative move speed so it'd be 8% move speed buff I think

Root chest is a good strat for squitos and mistland mobs but I would still keep padded chest as a swap when you see a fuling mage as the fire damage hurts

[light acorn]

Yeah I here that. I usually just run full padded if I'm planning on raiding fulings. Full fenris for exploring

[spark shell]

I run 2 pieces of padded and one for Fenris, though I might add root chest for one piece of heavy armor in mistlands, but I'm undecided

It's only 2% movement debuff for an Armor comparable to full heavy

[marble roost]

What farsong said but instead of having a padded chest to switch to, make some fire res potions

Same setup for mistlands

[frail cave]

its facing direction iirc doesn't matter, it just has to be much closer to the forge than all other upgrades, has to almost touch it

[atomic magnet]

yeah not working for me... bellows might be the single most frustrating thing in the game. Maybe I will try again in the morning when i have enough patience to try it millimeter by millimeter

[frail cave]

make sure it's not also too close to other upgrades

[atomic magnet]

i did set up the workbench upgrades. Maybe i need to remove all of those and do the bellows first. I think it is just not working for me. Going back to a prior game where i know it worked and in a more confined space to see if i can figure out how it placed it

lol clearly it was an issue... i have it in the middle of the floor with half my walls torn down...hmm...

Can you only do the Hildir bosses once? I did Brenna a while ago, now went to a different Smoldering Tomb and there is no Brenna.

While on my other seed, I can revisit a dungeon after a few days and the bosses are respawned. So i'm wondering what's triggering this? How can I redo Brenna WITHOUT the raid? I'm after another chest more specifically.

[vapid warren]

The other tomb being empty sounds like a bug

Can you go into it and use the printseed command?

I think you can also get raided by the minibosses after placing their chest in hildirs camp

[mighty ruin]

Yes but they don't drop the chest in raids, just the trophies

[vapid warren]

Ah ok

Anyway no, each one should have a miniboss in them

[merry slate]

ty

[small nest]

bro's british

[vapid warren]

practice

[small nest]

they should make option to automatically place as close as possible

[oblique hawk]

You can surround the field with a fence of wooden beams and use those as measurements. 1m between each crop is a nice distance.

[stoic trench]

I don’t measure, I just plant in a large area and just kinda hope for the best lol. Hasn’t failed me yet.

[vapid warren]

i just walk forward and place at a regular interval, easy enough and gets it as close to good as necessary

[oblique hawk]

I used to measure until I got a feel for the distance. I still like to fence in my fields because it looks nice.

Example field.

[stoic trench]

Are you roundpole fence kind of guy, or a stakewall?

Edit: oh, a beam user 👀

Did you ‘bury’ that door to act as a 1m tall fence gate?

[oblique hawk]

Stakewalls are for perimeter walls, for more "free flowing" fences I prefer the roundpole fences but for "strictly measured" fields like this one I prefer the beams.

[vapid warren]

what cute tiny field

[oblique hawk]

It suits my need at meadows/black forest level where I'm never far from the base anyway. :>

It's 1-2m sailing/5 min run to my black forest base where I spend most of my time but haven't made fields yet (and they won't be big either). I expect my plains base will have bigger fields.

[stoic trench]

That’s really smart! I’ll have to steal that from you lol. I’ve seen using shutters as little gates before as well.

Larsi’s crop field extends to the horizon lol

[oblique hawk]

I've had fairly big fields before if I saw a point in having it. This is from my current main playthrough, which is... rather slow paced.

I did kill the elder on day 170 or so but that was mainly to have easy access to iron if I want it and to enable the draugr raid so I didn't have to sail to the swamp to get intestines as often. :p

[stoic trench]

That sounds extremely similar to my current play through. The majority of the iron I’m collected is going to trivial things, like decorative iron caging and armor/weapons to display. Eventually I’ll make some new gear, but I’m moving at a very slow pace.

[spark shell]

I have these markings made from 1m beams on a stone wall that I made for my gf to serve as a guide when planting. They're 1.5m apart.
As for me, I just follow the rhythm. Haven't had any mishaps in ages.

I heard there was a way where you put walk mode on and then spammed or something but it didnt work for me so i was asking if someone knew better

[muted horizon]

hey i have a world that i share with 1 friend. The world works fine for me. when my friend loads in he cant see trees, buildings,animals, or anything else. is there any fix?

[tough hare]

What I did when I started playing the game is setting up a "wall" made of 1m wooden beams along two sides of the field. At each point where the beams connect, place a standing wooden beam, to give you something to look at.
After that, position your character at the opposite side of the field, press "c" to switch from running to walking and walk forwards.
Every time you have covered enough distance from the previous crop, the image of the crop will turn from red into green and you can plant it.
Once one row is done, press "c" again to start running, head back to the other side, activate the walking again and repeat.

[burnt rune]

So I just tamed a 1 star boar. He keeps trying to run away when I'm trying to move him to a bin with my other tamed boar. So basically, he wont cooperate and go where I want him to go. Any recommendations?

[inland girder]

Ok tysm

[tough hare]

Start by building some work benches between both areas to make sure you can build the entire distance.

Build some fences around it to lock it off from the outside world.
After that, create a path between the current fenced in area to the next one; but keep it small enough for you and the boar to move through it.

After that, just push it through and build a fence or a door behind you once in a while to make sure it wouldn't return.

[inland girder]

Make a path from point A to point B with walls so it cant eacape the path and push it

[burnt rune]

that is actually what i was doing. for some reason, the boar is stronger than I am and I can't push him

[inland girder]

Yea

[inland girder]

Sprint

[burnt rune]

i did lol

[inland girder]

Lol its not supposed to be stronger than you

[tough hare]

Did you build "locks" by blocking the path behind you as well?

[burnt rune]

thats why im stuggling so much lmao

[gloomy edge]

There's this annoying bug where they'll head back "home" (wherever they were before you tamed them) if they get loose. Your only option is to let it breed another star piggy and then put it down 🔪

[burnt rune]

So maybe bring another boar to mate with. once it mates, end the original and let the new one take its place?

kinda like the mauler twins... i like it

Runestone/village boars will always try to return to their spawn point even after they're tamed.

[inland girder]

Yea and start your incest slaughterhouse empire

[burnt rune]

its unfortunate, but the slaughterhouse empire must begin so that my wolf army may go on

[small nest]

what happened to that lovely font? can i still get it on minimap

[tulip hinge]

Is anyone there a good builder?

[ionic tusk]

Hey guys quick and ez question: how to get da sausage from Valheim?

[vapid warren]

need cauldron upgrade

so you need turnips and carrots, thistle, dandelion and mushroom

then for the item you need boar meat, thistle and entrails

[light acorn]

Is it easier to explore misglands with a karve? I'm just getting into them and even with the wisp I can't see anything. No idea how to find a mine

[lime drum]

I have the console enabled but now developer commands do not function in that context?

[marble roost]

The edges of mistlands is very rocky and a karve is preferred to a big ship for maneuvering. Ideal tho is getting to the actual meat of the mistlands and running around to explore

[real nebula]

Are you running devcommands first?

[lime drum]

Yes, a new character i just made can

Im asking in a different channel now

But, I am curious what "god mode" entails?

[real nebula]

The wiki should have most info about each command

[fallow oak]

what does it take to summon elder, last time i did it i remember greydwarf

[lilac coyote]

You can summon the Elder using ||ancient seeds|| on his altar.

[keen zodiac]

devcommands
To enable developer commands.

[keen zodiac]

3 ancient seeds, kill greydwarf brute or destroy greydwarf nest
Drops 1 seed per nest or brute

[keen hedge]

I am running a dedicated server. I can connect, friend #1 can join, friend #2 cannot

[jolly elk]

Ask in #dedicated-server

[light acorn]

I did my first mistland dungeon got 3 cores. What should I build first. Only the forge is unlocked so far. Need sap I guess

[frail cave]

forge is good

[light acorn]

Feel like I can't build much until I can refine eitr

[frail cave]

get some eitr

[keen zodiac]

Use cart to safely steal dvergr extractor

[old bronze]

Can someone tell me what this means?

[real nebula]

UGC settings in Xbox or Windows Gamepass, needs to be enabled if I'm reading this right

Some kind of parental control setting?

[acoustic holly]

how did you get corpse run as a forsaken power lol

[old bronze]

commands.

[gilded field]

When eik isn't enough

[hollow sigil]

Is it possible to change the starting spawnpoint coords?

[real nebula]

Not vanilla

[hollow sigil]

Not even through the console?

[boreal rock]

Troll caves never contain cores, or do they?

[willow raft]

Correct, they might contain chests with some gold and other nick nacks in but no cores.

[haughty hinge]

Trolls can't fit into burial chambers to collect cores and bring them home😔

[languid cape]

Hello, I bought now this game, but when I finish creating a character I click Done and then the character just disappear

someone knows how to fix this?

[vapid warren]

Are you using gamepass?

[languid cape]

what do you mean?

[vapid warren]

Are you playing through steam or windows?

[languid cape]

I'm on Windows 11, and I play it using steam

[vapid warren]

Must be some privacy settings that are wrong

[green crystal]

Exit steam and restart it

[languid cape]

what can I do?

[green crystal]

it's a cloud thinger

[languid cape]

I did it

[green crystal]

the game is less than 2GB an easy solution is always a reinstall

[languid cape]

I did it 4 times

[green crystal]

check \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\characters for the steam_autocloud file. That should be directing the game to your steam cloud for character files.

It's a cloud thinger.

[languid cape]

what I have to do with this file?

[green crystal]

It should exist

[languid cape]

there is this file

[green crystal]

ok now check into your steam cloud settings

[languid cape]

and what I have to change in this settings

[green crystal]

No idea. That's the location of saves. Turn it off and play locally if it works.

[vapid warren]

Try this

If the settings doesn't work

[green crystal]

Didn't think to ask if he had outdated mods floating around from an earlier install

[vapid warren]

Even if not, it might still fix stuff

[green crystal]

I ran into this save issue until I toggled enough cloud stuff on and off until it worked.

[vapid warren]

But yeah. My guess is some sort of cloud or privacy setting is disabled

[languid cape]

how can I see it..

[vapid warren]

People had this problem on the microsoft version and it was a setting

[vapid warren]

I dont know. I'm not at my pc so i cant check

[languid cape]

I never istalled a mod, I bought it today anyways

[vapid warren]

Yeah. But that thing has sometimes fixed problems for non mod users too. An uninstall doesn't remove everything

[languid cape]

oh

[vapid warren]

What my guess is thought is that there is some setting that is disabling saving

[languid cape]

I solved it, I'll just use the local

I disabled the cloud

[vapid warren]

Yeah so its a cloud setting

[green crystal]

It's a cloud thinger ;)

[subtle parrot]

Dango cloud thingers

[dreamy hearth]

If you only ever use one computer then local is fine.
Local is even useful for Xbox players that want to set up a crossplay server of their own with an existing save.

[raw spruce]

Hello, I have a problem, I can't play Valheim with my daughter, unfortunately her x box does not detect my server even though I entered the join code. I see a server created on X Box, but when connecting, an error occurs. my version is steam pc valheim patch 0.217.38
the x box version is Patch 0.217.39 and I don't know how to make the versions match

[jolly elk]

I think they would be familiar with your situation and have some advice for you in the #xbox-bugs-discussion channel here.

[raw spruce]

oki 🙂

[glass plover]

Any general advice on when to build moats and/or walls around a base. Also, any other ways to protect a base, especially from raids or just mobs griefing things like portals? @me

[jolly elk]

Early on meadows mobs are repelled by campfires. Later higher level mobs will require a fence or trench.

[glass plover]

I've made it to mountains before with friends but am doing a solo playthrough to actually beat the game and enjoy some building. I am trying to gage if I need defences on every base in every biome or not and see what other people recommend. Early game is easy. It's the troll raids and others that I am thinking about

[jolly elk]

Yeah. I always make my 'home' base in the meadows and then put small outposts in the later biomes.

[marble roost]

I usually setup a base in the meadows early on, and later when I get to the plains setup a base there. Meadows base doesn't need tooooo many defenses, but for my plains base I try to defend it well

Trolls I often don't think it's worth setting up many defenses for. They'll break your walls pretty quick until you get stone walls at least, but you can just go out there and distract them from your base while killing them

[glass plover]

@jolly elk @marble roost That's helpful.
What about swamps or mistlands? Any defence for deathsquitos or drakes?

[fathom badge]

The thing to remember about all raids is that they will focus on you ahead of any of your base defenses or anything. They only destroy walls and such in an effort to get to you.

Deathsquitos are squishy, even a windmill or bonfire will kill them. Drakes, just make sure your livestock has roofs and you always carry your bow. There's not much automated that can deal with them until the raid itself is obsolete.

[marble roost]

Drakes is Mountains, not Mistlands. But I wouldn't recommend making a base in Swamp or Mountain

[fathom badge]

Swamp base is best base. It's the only safe place at night after the Plains and Mistlands, as no post-boss adds spawn in the swamps 😉

[glass plover]

...is this a joke?😅👀

[abstract sail]

How can learn it?

invite code

[marble roost]

but... you're WET

[fathom badge]

Nope. I mean, I like making a swamp treehouse, wraiths are handy for chains even through endgame, and wetness isn't a big deal if you manage your stamina properly. I usually do my big bases in the Meadows and Plains though since there's not much you can grow in the swamps 😉

[jolly elk]

Get it from the server host.

[glass plover]

@jolly elk @fathom badge @marble roost Thanks y'all!

[dreamy hearth]

There are world modifiers as well if you feel raids are too frequent.

Or not frequent enough.

[spark surge]

I like to set up my plains base in a small biome that I can block spawns for most or all of. I might leave some if lox are spawning there and just deal with the occasional deathsquito. Crystal doesn't get used for much so I make windows out of it that block deathsquitos, the dark wood dividers I think they're called work well too

[glass plover]

Just mostly looking for ways to protect my builds without taking away from the aesthetics of them

[spark surge]

Had a friend that put his tamed lox in his flax/barley field inside a stone wall. The lox would "harvest" when they killed the deathsquitos and then eat some of the harvest if injured and he'd pick up the rest, replant as needed. Messy but works lol

As far as mountains there's so much stone it's easy to make fortifications and the drakes don't really do much damage. A ||ballista|| will handle them later game

[dreamy hearth]

A combination earth wall and some stone pieces work well for function and aesthetics.

[ember sluice]

thing with raids is they trigger when you in your base ||except hunts||. so just leave your base and kill all the enemies and your build is protected

[green crystal]

Long term a moat is the best bet. Any ventilation you have needs to always include a burning hearth so that bats kill themselves on it. I find that a 2-floor width moat with raised ground on your side eliminates most mobs from even agroing onto you in the first place. If you want to build a bridge across your moat I recommend looking up a gap bridge.

[small nest]

only skelly's and those green f***ers with bows

[fathom badge]

Root Harnesk and you can just ignore all of them 😉 But then again, I'm usually hunting Lox before I beat Bonemass, so...

[small nest]

damn, im always staying away from plains until silver gear, then im building a mini slaughterhouse for loxes

[green crystal]

I personally dig Mountain bases since they're easy to establish (Drakes push out other spawns and normally don't respawn themselves) and provide a coat of snowy delight to everything I build.

[fathom badge]

Hunter's Bow and a Blackmetal atgeir will demolish a lox. Not sure if an iron atgeir has enough stagger to stun one though...

[marble roost]

It’s just a lot of work bringing metal up a mountain

[green crystal]

If you pick a bad one sure. How about those mountains that spawn with rivers right next to them that carve them out right up to the ocean? I love me a cliffside retreat complete with harbor.

[marble roost]

Plains hildr spoiler: ||Is the hildr plains mini boss easier to beat than yag? And do the chicken eggs spawn in the boss room or just somewhere in the dungeon? Trying to consider if I should try to get those eggs before fighting yag for better food||

[green crystal]

I think they were in a box.

[fathom badge]

||With Bonemass power and fire reisist they aren't that bad, and the eggs are just in a chest in the bottom dungeon with the boss along with a grip of chains and coins I think. But you can't do anything other than plain cooked chicken with them until you get Mistlands crops||

[marble roost]

I intend on skipping ahead to mistlands and grabbing a few crops, hares, and black marble before yag too

[fathom badge]

Then you should be good to go, you just need the puffs and honey that you should already have

[marble roost]

Just trying to be prepared as I can with least risk as possible on this run. Can’t afford to die

[subtle parrot]

Silver sword is my favorite weapon against yag

[green crystal]

It's actually really easy to snag a few Puffs and Caps and find a tiny Mistlands island you can portal to and grow them in mass quantities.

[marble roost]

Eh I don’t need mass quantity just enough for a couple meals. And then once I have wisp mistlands won’t be too bad

[green crystal]

"don't need mass quantity" lol

[marble roost]

Yag doesn’t take 100 meals to beat 😭

[green crystal]

I'll just cry to myself over the amount of magecaps I go through.

[subtle parrot]

Don't forget to drink plenty of water

[marble roost]

Yea I mass produce the crops once I get into mistlands. Gotta get that sweeeeeet magic going

[vapid warren]

I think || all the mobs and actually getting inside the tower is harder than the miniboss||

[gloomy edge]

does anyone know the font used in the Valheim logo?

[subtle parrot]

Norse font

[vapid warren]

Probably custom

[glass plover]

Any tips on ways to automate farming or collecting things? Really enjoy trying to create auto farms in other games but haven't found many helpful things for valheim game mechanics

[vapid warren]

No, outside of breeding towers for tames there's not really any automation

[subtle parrot]

An atgier works good for quickly getting your plains crops harvested, but otherwise yeh, no automation

[vapid warren]

Sledge too

[marble roost]

||orb of embers|| is decent too. Note all those weapons only work on plains crops tho

at least I don't think they work on mistlands crops. Know they don't work on the others

[vapid warren]

No, any other crops will be destroyed

Since plains crops are grain it works

[glass plover]

I know the surtling farm in the swamps is good but no good way to automate collection. I know that fires used to be good for spawner farms and then got nerfed. Wish that something like a Minecraft hopper were introduced or magic could help autocraft things

[subtle parrot]

Palheim anyone?

[marble roost]

damn the mistlands release trailer is gorgeous

[fathom badge]

Super cheese against those guys is to just use a ton of ooze bombs and a sledge

[marble roost]

Yea this is a pretty cheeseless run

[fathom badge]

It's still helpful to use the bombs against them. That kind of stuff didn't count as cheese in the Trial of Tyr, I figure it's legit 😉

[subtle parrot]

They also help clear adds a bit against the queen

[marble roost]

I set my own definitions for cheese this run. So won't do stuff like excessive bow use, making eartwalls/moats to block AI pathfinding, atgeirs, 2 handed hammers, exploiting bugs, popping down a portal in combat to get out of dicey situation, etc.

[vapid warren]

Guide in pins

[tired pumice]

Hello, does someone know if it still work for copper to detach it from the ground and insta break all the veine ?

[subtle parrot]

Yes, it does

[tired pumice]

what because we did it rn and it doesn't break

[vapid warren]

Needs about 2 meters of empty space in all directions

[marble roost]

It does, but the hitbox on copper is very wonky. It looks like it's floating but it might still technically be attached so you really gotta dig out far around it.

Once it's fully detached you also need to hit the copper itself a couple times for it to realize it's floating, and then destroy itself

[gloomy edge]

thanks i googled the font and its free to download! you helped with my meme lol

[marble roost]

Often it's not even possible to dig far enough down to make it float enough, so then you gotta start digging into the copper at the bottom

[vapid warren]

Its never possible to me

[marble roost]

same. I often don't even go for popping copper deposits

Works super well on silver tho!

[frail cave]

yea i've never had a deposit that didn't go slightly below the dig limit, but i'd say i'm pretty good at gravity shattering them despite that.

[subtle parrot]

Np lol it's definitely a custom version of that font they use on the title, but i think it's the main font in game

[vapid warren]

I go under so im sure i get it all, with a satisfying pop at the end

[frail cave]

unless you're in a huge group, you'll be fine just shaving the top off of every copper deposit you find, there are many per world.

[tired pumice]

thanks 👍

[frail cave]

takes either practice and knowledge or patience to make gravity shattering copper worth it 😅
thankfully it's more reliable on later resources.

[tired pumice]

ok so it's more worth on silver ?

[tired pumice]

we are 6

[subtle parrot]

What is gravity shattering?

[subtle parrot]

Super easy with silver

[frail cave]

silver's fragments are tiny, so their hitboxes are much less confusing. i've not once had a silver vein refuse to shatter once it was excavated

[marble roost]

very worth and very easy to do on silver. Hitbox is much less wonky

[frail cave]

breaking stuff by making it float and breaking a fragment, not sure what else to call it 😅

[subtle parrot]

Ah, that makes sense lol i should've assumed

[tired pumice]

does it affect loot ? we managed to do it rn and it only dropped few of them

[frail cave]

if there are too many of the same item around, they clump together into stacks.
don't worry, you didn't lose anything

[boreal rock]

Do shields have a protective effect even while you aren't blocking with them?

[marble roost]

No

Only negates damage if you block. Negates even more and staggers your opponent if you parry (block right before the opponent hits you)

[tired pumice]

we got 80 copper for a huge veine

it's not that much for me

[vapid warren]

100 is about avrrage, but you dont need that much

[fathom badge]

That seems a little low, but you might be running into the dig limit? Or perhaps you didn't dig all the way around the deposit? For 6 players you might consider increasing the drop rate on the server to 1.5x or even 2x

[marble roost]

I usually don't use too much copper because I go light on making bronze items. Like you can use the bronze axe for chopping and fighting so you don't have to make a seperate weapon, and can skip bronze armor and kill some trolls for armor

[vapid warren]

Bronze armor isnt recommended cause it has such low armor and makes you slower

I dug out 3 copper deposits for me and my wife, and we moved on to swamp with most of it left

[fathom badge]

Atgeir, buckler, cultivator and axe are what I typically make minimally, and then kill trolls 😉 But you need a fair bit of copper and tin and bronze for various forge upgrades and the like, especially if all 6 people aren't sharing a base

[vapid warren]

Made a weapon and axe each, plus cultivator and crafting bench stuff

Oh buckler too yea

[tired pumice]

we are 6

[vapid warren]

More people to farm too though

[tired pumice]

ok thanks for tip guys

[vapid warren]

I dont even think we used half the bronze

Finding enough trolls for troll set might be harder

[fathom badge]

It might make sense to diversify a bit, depending on how different people's playstyles are

[vapid warren]

Yeah. If someone wants to tank, they can be slower and tankier

[small nest]

things valheim players never crafted:
bronze armor
level 3 club
level 3 stone axe
max level flint knife

[vapid warren]

I did level 3 club this playthrough

[old bronze]

I craftes bronze armor on my first playtrough, not worth it

Level 2 bronze armor has the same armor as level 3 troll armor AND it makes you slower

[small nest]

it looks fancy though

[fathom badge]

Wait... you all make stone axes? I always make a flint axe and max it out.

[small nest]

someone added it to the game soo...

[glass plover]

I skip stone

[vapid warren]

Make stone axe then replace it half an hour later

[old bronze]

I don't even max the flint axe but I do skip the stone one

[fathom badge]

I run the shore before I get to the first night, I need my flint to respawn so I can upgrade the workbench, all that ASAP

[glass plover]

I skip crude bow too. I go flint spear

[small nest]

on the first days im hunting boars to get as much leather as possible

usually something around 40

[vapid warren]

Ah, this is the help channel

[old bronze]

I normally skip crude bow but if I play on a 3x resources server then I don't

[glass plover]

What is a 3x server?

Ope, smh

[small nest]

3x more resources

[old bronze]

3x resources

[small nest]

im always playing on 1,5x multiplier, im just saving time on grinding

[old bronze]

Same

[vapid warren]

3x resources(for 3x explanations)

But this is discussion for #valheim-chat

[small nest]

3 wood from 1 branch

i recently started hard run (more raids, hard difficulty and 1,5x resources) wish me luck because this game on normal mode is aleardy a bit of a challenge

[marble roost]

I like to use crude bow for taking down a troll or two on Very Hard before braving the burial chambers

[marble roost]

Good luck!

[small nest]

no way this is hammer?!?! i thought its this "hand" to hold sword

[small nest]

my man gained my respect

[marble roost]

It does look like a sword hilt yea, never thought of that. Never thought of it as a hammer either until it got pointed out tho

[vapid warren]

@real nebula should we time out these guys you think?

[marble roost]

This run is very hard no cheese no deaths so we'll see how it goes. I'm mostly scared for going blind into ashlands but tbh if I make it as far as Ashlands with no deaths I'm gonna continue the server even if I die

[elfin maple]

I do this as well. Currently doing a hardcore difficulty, no map, no portals run and crude bows to kill trolls pre-burial chamber and even fully upgraded club are worthwhile there because you can’t die.

[marble roost]

fine fine valheim chat it is

[small nest]

first time valheim help got that active

for trolls i use classic dodge rolling and flint knife lvl 3

[subtle parrot]

Hilt* but no lol thors hammer

[small nest]

thanks, im not for english speaking country

[subtle parrot]

No worries

[small nest]

learned english from minecraft videos 😎

[marble roost]

I learned 80% of my english from games and movies

[small nest]

oh and also from games, for me its mainly english from games

[elfin maple]

For some reason I am still shit at dodge rolling log trolls. Just can’t get it consistent. Will melee normal ones but too scared to die to a log troll in hardcore so I range those.

[small nest]

lets apreciate the fact that with valheim's first weapons you can create an endless amount of tactics for trolls

[subtle parrot]

And still better than half of my fellow Americans

[small nest]

😂 😔

[fathom badge]

I just got scolded. We need to take this to #valheim-chat so we don't fill this with useless chatter and people looking for actual help can get it here

[vapid warren]

🧹

[glass plover]

O, not what I thought

[chrome jetty]

I have a weird situation.

I have a dedi server I run off my PC. I was playing alone all yesterday as the others never poped around. I quit last night and it said "saved 8 minutes ago" and I did a save again. I then shut the server down.

So I explored ALOT and all that stuff is on my map, including all my pins. The base area and my gear however seem to have not saved?

[fathom badge]

That sounds like a server desync, like the server didn't save the changes or crashed on shutdown instead of writing out the changes. Characters are separate from worlds, and the map info is saved with your character. But in theory it should have only been those 8 minutes different... if it's more than that, then you might have an issue with where you server is saving, it might not have write permissions to the drive or something.

[chrome jetty]

It worked fine the time before.

It was just the last days run that didn't save.

[fathom badge]

Yeah... unfortunately, there's not much to go on other than those symptoms. Do you have the server logs from yesterday?

[chrome jetty]

great so I'm looking at both the server and the version I have locally.,

Nether are updated more recently then early yesterday.

Where are the logs found?

I think I see it, uhhh, which one?

[fathom badge]

I think it'll be called valheim_log.txt or something similar, but I can't remember if that's configured by default or not, I have the suspicion that it might not log to file by default and just to the console.

[chrome jetty]

I have a connection_log that seems to show I was logged in and then out

[fathom badge]

This might be a better question for #dedicated-server , people there know more than I do on the server stuff

@frail cave is having an alcohol infused breakdown and insulting people in voicechat

[ornate brook]

Does anyone here know how exactly the queen spew brood spawn rate works? I'm currently on a fighting simultaneous queen adventure (6,7,8 and finally 9 simultaneous queens on vh) and just wondering if anyone knows why every once and while the queens spew attack will not summon seeker broods, like it usually does. Very weird question but if anyone has any insight into why this happens it'd be much appreciated

[gilded field]

Thats awesome. How many deaths?

[frail cave]

i dont even remember that shit

[frail cave]

give me a break!!!

[ornate brook]

One shot 6,7,8 Queen vh, but I really learned the fight on 5 queen vh, and that took me about 10 hours to kill for the first time with about 60 deaths or so

[marble roost]

orb of embers?

[gilded field]

Bows admiring the dedication o7

[ornate brook]

I don't think 9 queen vh is possible atm, so i'm just reaching for any info lol, hence why i asked my question, I have pretty much the entire arena covered in wisp torches placed on fine wood stacks so I don't have to deal with any mist minus the lowest part of the citadel, any other ideas? Maxed out gear (eitr weave level3) and skills mage char running with embers, prot, bile bombs and himmin (rarely used), and deadraiser

[gilded field]

You can employ bile bombs for better damage than ooze bombs.

[ornate brook]

oh yea sorry meant bile lmao

Able to get 200+ burning ticks with unloading eitr bar + stam bar with bile

[gilded field]

A lot of hp on vh?

[ornate brook]

The boss? or me

I'm running 2 eitr 1 stam, boss doesn't have more hp but i do 30% less damage

[vapid warren]

Probably a spawn limit reached

[boreal rock]

[vapid warren]

Thats just patch notes, what about it?

[boreal rock]

72 hours into this normal game, still haven't found the trader, haha.

[willow raft]

Yeah it can take a while, though you need to be 1500m from center in a black forest to be able to find him.
It will show a coin pouch on the map if you get close enough to trigger a spawn point.

[boreal rock]

The centre being the stone rocks where you get the boss powers?

[willow raft]

Yes, the place you spawned at.
If it is really bothering you that you can't find him you can always look at your seed map and find out where he is.
Kinda "cheating" but if you play single player who really cares but you.

[boreal rock]

I discussed it with my partner yesterday and we decided not to, haha. I don't how far 1500 m is in terms of the map but I could still check out two islands close to where we started which we never explored.

Heck i can hardly beat the queen on normal solo lol that's crazy

[primal berry]

Where is this Seed map to be found?

[gilded field]

Valheim-map.world

[marble roost]

I feel your pain. I had to explore pretty far and only just found him

[boreal rock]

How many hours into the campaign?

[marble roost]

Not sure where to check hours but I feel like hours doesn't matter much. More about how much you explore I'll send a pic tho

[boreal rock]

The black cloaked figure that disappears when you approach it is just lore/decoration, right? No actual function.

[stoic trench]

Correct!

Have the wolves been nerfed since release? I feel like I’m not getting clapped as much lol but it’s been awhile.

[minor rover]

When Ashlands releases will a biome pop into my existing world or will I have to start a new one

[minor rover]

Yup, it's just odin checking your progress

You can also see thor, just look up during a thunderstorm after beating moder

[vapid warren]

Its already in your game, just mostly empty

[stoic trench]

As long as you haven’t explored that area, you’ll have the complete biome once Ashlands drops.

[vapid warren]

If you go there, it will generate the area around you and not give you new stuff nearby when ashlands dtpps

[minor rover]

K, just wanna make sure I won't have to start a new world

[zenith nimbus]

His empty carriage*

[inland girder]

Is there an exact date yet when the ashlands update will drop

[vapid warren]

Before end of june is all

[inland girder]

Kk

[minor rover]

I wonder what the ashlands boss will be

Is the himminafl any good/worth trying to get

[still pendant]

it has a great stun ability

also high pierce damage. And it looks really cool.

[marble roost]

Himmin afl is god tier. Atgeirs in general are super strong because of their broken secondary attack, but the himmin is just a great weapon overall too. Good damage, good reach, good blocking power

[gilded field]

From a theory crafting standpoint. I'm leaning on Sigurblót as the release window. But that's just one nerds perspective.

[gilded field]

Love my Himmin. Wish it caused just a bit more stun stagger from the shock

[green crystal]

Himminafl and Frostner are arguably best in slot.

[minor rover]

Frostner over mistwalker?

[green crystal]

Mistwalker lures you with damage of the wrong type.

[gilded field]

Frostner has the edge considering progression accessibility.

[gilded field]

Slash is wrong type?

[green crystal]

Blunt is superior until they add more blunt resistant enemies in Ashlands with higher stagger limits.

[gilded field]

Blunt is only superior by a difference of one mobs resistance. Where as there is 4 that are weak to blunt. So I guess that gives the lead either way

[marble roost]

in mistlands there's not much difference between using slash/pierce/blunt

[green crystal]

Fine, don't learn to abuse stagger from maces and atgeirs. It's your experience. Personally I use neither because throwing spears is more engaging.

[gilded field]

Challenging for sure. Hitting the ranged shots feels so good

[green crystal]

I usually throw in melee because it uses less stamina than attacking and, under normal circumstances, I can pick my spear right up and throw again faster than normal attacking.

Plus spears are the loudest weapon in the game so great if you partner with someone who likes to sneak around with bows and daggers.

[gilded field]

Stam consumption is worth mentioning.

I'm still baffled that not one mob is weak to slash

[green crystal]

Slash really is the worst. That's why mistwalker is the wrong kind of weapon.

[gilded field]

Be the aggro. I like that consideration

[green crystal]

I don't mind playing the center. Someone has to do it.

but it got immensely easier with ||blood magic's bubble spell||.

[gilded field]

Finding a way to have team composition by way of mechanics.

I think this mind set will pay off moving into Ashlands

[green crystal]

Yup. Ashlands will surely need a raider's mindset.

[gilded field]

Smart cookie friend

[green crystal]

Ideally you want 3-4 people. A center tank with a loud weapon they can hit the ground with (throw a spear at the ground), a flanker with status effects like stagger, frost, or lightning, and a ranged strength-belt mule stuffed with enough arrows for the clear and lots of space for the loot.

[gilded field]

Who's got bombs and aoe for trash packs

[green crystal]

Center should be kiting so should drop the bombs

[gilded field]

Fair call

Depending on weakness, resistance, and immunity. I could see a need to consider a few other weapons to balance damage types. Spear and bow both being pierce

[green crystal]

Oh definitely. Gets easier once you get magic involved. Fire/Blunt and Frost ranged options are nothing to scoff at, even if slightly annoying to use. Then again I never needed to really use foot tactics like this until Mistlands.

[gilded field]

Frost and Him may be mvp here

Cc is usually king. Especially maxing stamina value

[green crystal]

Yeah dude Frostner's stagger build against most things is enough to MVP it alone, in spite of its amazing damage spread.

And Himminafl's special attack...

[gilded field]

The crowd tickler

Gives them fuling something to really giggle about 🤣

[green crystal]

I thought they were giggling because there weren't seeker spawns in the plains at night yet.

[gilded field]

I don't think the cheeky buggers have that level of foresight

[green crystal]

According to the lore they're smart. Smart enough to piss off a god or two.

[gilded field]

I may have missed a runestone or two

If this is the case. Then it's arrogance ey

[green crystal]

||Here on the plains you will find the dwellings of the Fuling, that ancient race who once built towers and cities to rival those of men until Odin punished them for their pride. He trampled the Fuling armies, their armor cracking like snail shells beneath his feet, and tore down their cities.
Only Yagluth, the great sorcerer, would not bend or break before his fury. So Odin tore his body in half and cast the remains into Valheim, where he bled into the earth and crumbled to dust, wept over by the last of his people.
Now the Fuling rule over the plains of Valheim, savage and wild with only hatred and fear in their hearts. But Yagluth is with them still, an unseen force that the Fuling shamans draw upon for their crooked magic, growing again in strength as his people spread across the world...||

[gilded field]

Ego and pride. Heh. Thanks for that

[green crystal]

More like "...Hatred and fear..."

[gilded field]

When emotion proceeds intelect

[still blaze]

Is this the right channel to ask about what to build?

[fathom badge]

Sure

[simple kestrel]

#building-ideas #building-tips maybe too

[fathom badge]

If you're talking buildings, yes, that ^^

But if you're talking like crafting stations or upgrades, this is a better place

[simple kestrel]

The red line is what i want the floor to align too, so the brown floor is in that way correct. but as you can see there is this blue gap that i want to be gone, i cant get the floor to snap that way. only the green floor can, but then it is not aligned with the red line anymore. anyone has an idea?

[still blaze]

Oh I didn’t see those channels

[fathom badge]

That's better for #building-discussion probably, but what you're seeing is just an artifact of how the stone edges snap. The gap isn't functional in any way, it just looks a bit weird. You can try overlapping partially into the stone if you really want to cover it, if you're building the stone higher.

[simple kestrel]

yeah the problem is im not building higher stone here sadly, hit the max.

[fathom badge]

The red line will be better for snapping architecturally and measurement-wise. And once you put a wall beside it (if you are) it will be hidden as well.

I would also suggest tiling your walls in the future, instead of having them vertical. It will provide more resiliency if someone takes out a bottom level wall.

[simple kestrel]

well the thing is, all the way at the bottom i have stone floors all coming together in a nice looking shape eventually turning into a star. im trying to get the wooden floors the same way, but im afraid that by this small move that the pattern will not turn out aswell as the stone on the bottom floor

[fathom badge]

Don't worry about that. Snap them properly and it will all work out. The gaps are purely visual, they aren't based on any kind of measurement drift or anything. As long as you use the stone for the snap guide, you will be fine.

[simple kestrel]

alright thanks for your tips

[uncut crown]

Can someone help me out, I'm really confused. Okay so block armor is basically the amount of damage your shield absorbs or reduces (like between 28 and 42 damage in this case). When you successfully block you get this block force which is like a knockback power of 30, but what exactly is this 30? 30 meters? thats silly, 30 pounds of force? what? And then there's parry block armor which is the damage your shield absorbs after a multiplier (2.5x in this case), so does that mean it's between 70 and 105 damage or do you still multiply that 70 to 105 further by 2.5?

This is level 3 bronze buckler

[marble roost]

Block armor = how much damage you block

Parry bonus: When you parry, you multiply your block armor by 2.5. So you negate 70-105 damage with a parry

Block force: Knockback when you block/parry someone, dunno if that's multiplied by parry bonus (prob is) but it doesn't matter much

Blocking and parrying can fail if the opponent does too much damage to you causing you to stagger. But higher block armor and also higher max health (eat some hp foods) makes you stagger less easily

[uncut crown]

So if you successfully parry the max damage you can block is only 105?

[gilded field]

Need a nominal amount of stamina. 20 for block 40? for parry

Successful parry leads to a staggered enemy. Staggered enemy takes 200% more damage

[uncut crown]

what is max damage you can parry

[vapid warren]

It scales on hp too, no?

[uncut crown]

Using this buckler

Can you explain please, I can't find this info on wiki, maybe its there, I cannot find it

[gilded field]

Max block armor for a parry is 105.

[marble roost]

If you really want detailed info, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zuJ2BACwMq-cZXrc7fJOw8hDGp5ROKeBVcf73IzRrlw/

Blocking sheet made by Sevrahn

[uncut crown]

This is no star troll, it does 60 to 70 blunt damage, in hardcore mode, that gets doubled right? So does that mean it becomes 120 to 140 damage and you can't parry that?

[marble roost]

I don't think it's 1:1 like that. It's a bit more complicated, and armor becomes less effective when you've already reduced damage to less than half or so. But you don't need to negate all the damage to parry, you can parry and still take some damage.

Again for detailed info, refer to that sheet (also here it is if you don't trust a link from a stranger #valheim-chat message)

[gilded field]

I rely on these sheets. I don't bother digging into the maths

[green crystal]

Make sure your worn armor is higher than the armor of the shield.

[gilded field]

Now I need to see if my mist build meets those specs

[uncut crown]

Thanks. I get it now. But playing hardcore is really stupid. Enemy damage gets doubled by 200% but our damage gets nerfed, I guess that's the hardcore part, but its stupid our blocking doesn't get any boost. You have to keep eating good food and parrying all the time, otherwise even with a successful parry against a no star troll you still take damage. I haven't encountered any starred trolls yet, but I can imagine my maxed lv 3 bronze buckler wouldn't be enough, I'd just die right away

[fathom badge]

Any difficulty level and rolling negates all damage. Shields are mostly useless in hardcore, you need to just do enough damage to fill the enemy stagger bar.

[marble roost]

Very Hard shields are still very useful. Just don't go parrying starred enemies of your current biome and make sure to upgrade the shield to max

If you do also decide to grind some block skill you can block just fine even against 1 star enemies, maybe even 2 star although that's dicey

[marble roost]

For very hard mode I suggest just maxing your shield level whenever you can and almost never trying to parry the brutes (troll, abom, golem, etc.) or 2 star enemies of a biome while you're at the progression of that biome

[boreal rock]

Is the trader usually close to the coast or do you have to search the inner parts of each black forest, too?

[marble roost]

Can always use dev commands to set your shield block to level 60ish to balance it out if you don't like it

[marble roost]

Can be either. But they don't spawn until 1500m from spawn. I'd recommend just sailing around and when you see a black forest go for a run in it to see if he pops up on your map

[boreal rock]

Doubt we'll ever find him, going Mistlands soon.

[uncut crown]

I just did a test, parried a 2-star troll with lv 3 bronze buckler, my hp dropped from 150 down to 8

[marble roost]

Did you really parry tho or did you just try to parry but it failed so the trolls full damage went through?
