yo what would be considered a GOOD base location ( i mean like surrounding biomes or location on map ) for a endgame / going onto ashlands

[marble roost]

Generally Plains is pretty good, near water is good too

Some people like making their base partly in plains part in mistlands so they can farm all crops

If you wanna go to Ashlands near the bottom of the map could be good (don’t go too close tho, Ashlands generation will change up some of the terrain a good distance out from Ashlands, which could wreck your house)

[long halo]

So would like around here be good?

[fathom badge]

You could probably go a bit further south, but that should be comfortably safe.

[marble roost]

Looks pretty good

[celest river]

anyone know how i can get comfort lvl 16 currently at 14 not sure what else i need

[marble roost]

Hot tub?

Ah I see that. I think you have to fuel it though, it looks off

[fathom badge]

The hot tub does have to be lit to provide comfort, yes

[celest river]

W im pretty sure thats it thank you

thats it thank you

[vague harness]

How do I get on ships it’s like a struggle

[fathom badge]

Jump if you're on land, or the ladders on the side(s) are how you get on if you're in the water

[shy shard]

What shiny / light-emitting items can I put on item stands to provide light

I've been using ||Brenna trophies|| but those are few and far between

[true steeple]

All items that emit light should work

[static finch]

swamp keys, surtling tropies

[compact heath]

I got loads of them, my record on one play through is getting 9 trophies, killed her once and then 8 raids from her

[shy shard]

Swamp keys shine ???

[marble roost]

It’s a bit expensive but very cool to use dvergr circlets (bought from Haldor)

[compact heath]

Quick question how do I disable a spawner (greydwarves) again? Got workbench and put floors (wood) under it but it still spawns, maybe I need to extend the floor area? I think it’s about 4x4 big floor tiles so 8x8m

[marble roost]

I never played around with spawners much but I think I remember hearing putting a roof over the spawner (preventing sky access) stops them from spawning?

[sterile epoch]

does anyone know why my fans go full speed as soon i start the game. it does it on my pc and my laptop

[buoyant peak]

Don't think you can

[marble roost]

Another option that I know works is making a little pit or hut close by to put the mobs in (has to be pretty close). Spawner won’t spawn mobs if there’s already a bunch of spawned mobs there

At least I assume greydwarf spawner has a limit like that too

[shy shard]

I've noticed that the wiki doesn't specify ||The Queen|| being immune to stagger. Bosses usually are immune to being staggerred, is this an exception or a mistake on the wiki ?

[marble roost]

Mistake

[compact heath]

do you need to build the magic farm greydwarf spawner while it keeps popping them out then hehe thats a little challenge then

[obsidian crest]

am I at risk of bumping into undeveloped ashlands (I'm running stable build) if I go to this moder?

[real nebula]

that's pretty danger close, yes

[compact heath]

I agree, the distance you want to stay away from is quite big, I did some tests and getting close to ashlands pre-release is not something I recommend

[obsidian crest]

yeah I turned it around and revealed boss locations on that website 😳

don't want to spoil my map so close to ashlands update

well, spoil in the sense of visiting ashlands...

unsurprisingly I had one somewhat under my nose in a very safe area

[mint topaz]

Are eggs from sealed towers garunteed or is it a maybe thing

[thorn spire]

I've heard that there are guaranteed to be two eggs in a chest in the bottom of the tower, however I've not personally verified that.

[compact heath]

only 2 so have to ensure the chicks dont walk into the fire...

[west jay]

Probably a dumb question: but I started using in game cheats today, and I went to go explore the ashlands. But it's all blank. It's just ashen hills with those fires guys around but nothing else. Is my game bugged? Do I need to check to see if it needs an update? I only bought the game like a week or two ago, right before the ashlands update came out. And I've tried a few different world seeds of my own. They all are just vast nothingness

[lilac coyote]

Ashlands isn't out yet.

[west jay]

I guess that makes sense 😅🤣

[compact heath]

and its best to use a world where you have not been near ashlands when it releases because of the changes

[real nebula]

You need to opt into the PTB to access ashlands content atm

[sharp sierra]

What will happen to my pre-existing world when Ashlaunds go live and I update?

[real nebula]

It will receive the new content

As long as your current Ashlands hasn't been explored, it should update correctly and you should have all of the content without an issue

[deft gazelle]

Hello everyone, is there a way to refill all sources of fire/torch light by a command?

The more I build, the more fires and torches I seem to lose track of. ☺️😅

[fringe sundial]

Other than mods, not that I know of. IE: with the mod I am thinking of, if you had a chest near a smelter, it would pull ore from the chest into it and turn it automatically into ingots. Same applied for hearths and camp fires if I remember correct.

[plush knot]

They added one in PTB, check patch notes

[wary kernel]

Is this game pc x console?

[tired notch]

Pc and Xbox

[wary kernel]

Alright, so does pc mods work with xbox?

[tired notch]

I dunno about mods you’d have to ask #mods-discussion

[wary kernel]

Alright, and are you able to play the ashlands on xbox yet?

[tired notch]

Yes, the PTB.

[wary kernel]

Whats that stand for sorry?

[tired notch]

Public Test Branch. If you go to the channels and role tab and select public tester, you should get access to the PTB channel.

[wary kernel]

Mk

[shut zinc]

how do you post in seeds? looking for something very specific

[fringe sundial]

If you selected "I Wana see everything " you should be able to see and post in most/all chats. Exceptions being, the ashlands/PTB chats, you need another step to view/post there.

[limpid cloak]

how to update valheim in steam? i dont know

[willow badge]

you want to switch to the public test branch?

[frail cave]

anyone able to help me with a silly issue real quick?

[lean oracle]

What's the silly issue?

[orchid bear]

what is dragur axe

i died and next to my body was a dragur axe

[lean oracle]

From what I've seen before, Dragur axe is an item that is spawned in. It's unobtainable, and is even spelled incorrectly, yet it will still cling to your body as though it was trying to pick itself up. That's probably why it was next to your body when you died.

[true steeple]

Draugr axe (and probably all other enemy weapons) can't be picked up normally, and even when editing game files to force it to be picked up it didn't do anything when I used it

Some can't even be spawned in unless they have very weird ids (couldn't find ||fader fissure|| (ashlands spoiler))

[loud linden]

But, we're talking about the 'Dragur axe'. My research suggests that it's a weapon used primarily in The Far North. I guess we'll find out in future releases...

[true steeple]

Dragur axe is draugr axe. The spawn id is draugr_axe but the item name is Dragur axe

[loud linden]

Wat to to ruin the game. Sheesh.

[shy shard]

iron cages take damage from rain ??

[loud linden]

Yup. They'll degrade to 50%, but not lower. Just like the rest of non-roof pieces.

[shy shard]

bruh

[subtle parrot]

Rusty old bars

[acoustic vessel]

how do u spawn stonegolem trophy whit devcommands

[hollow phoenix]

So I'm trying to come up with a good classification method for sorting my chests and items within. I am loosely going based on a compositional method as in "what it is or how it's used in the game," and the one thing that is royally stumping me is 'Guck'

Like what is this thing?
it's found on trees, and it apparently smells like fermented fish.
It's also used for making and fueling green flame torches and providing a poison damage effect to the Draugr Fang

is it supposed to be putrid/rotten resin, or is it something else more vile?

[true steeple]

I put guck in my resin chest if it isn’t already full (it usually is)

[celest river]

crafting material you need like a 50 stack for the Bow Drauger Fang

[subtle parrot]

Resin, guck, ooze, tar all goes in/ around the same chests in my storage facilities

[hollow phoenix]

Yeah
It doesn't have much uses besides those things.
I'm just curious what guck is supposed to be as an actual item
it's such an anomaly

[hollow phoenix]

the "goop" chest?

[subtle parrot]

Basically

[subtle parrot]

I think it's just supposed to be like a poisonous resin built up on old dying trees in mucky swamps rather than just regular resin from trees not in swamps

[hollow phoenix]

That's what I think it is too
and it makes the most sense, considering abominations also drop them.
And they are possessed old trees.

[subtle parrot]

Indeed

[slate terrace]

Does the Resource Rate world modifier affect minable ore?

[marble roost]

Yes

Basicallyyyyy everything is affected by it. There’s only a few exceptions

There’s sometimes weird rounding though

[slate terrace]

nice, thank you

[spare drift]

man the cursor looks so ugly can i hide it

[marble roost]

I think you can turn off the entire hud but other than that idk

[hollow phoenix]

Does that include things you find in chests?

[marble roost]

I believe it does yes

[hollow phoenix]

Explains why me and my partner left a sunken crypt with over 130 scrap iron

[marble roost]

Nice haul

I’ve managed to get around that amount from 1x resource rate though, although that takes a good crypt

[static finch]

Can turn off the entire hud with ctrl + F3, just make sure to uncrouch after the input

[buoyant peak]

Only if they're generated when the slider is changed, and will only happen once.

Changing it again won't alter the already-generated chest's content

[spare drift]

that also disables effects

guess i have to cope with it

[hollow phoenix]

Yeah we messed with the slider at the very start before playing and haven't touched it since

figured it would make the game less grindy for kitting out two vikings who are just replaying to get ready for ashlands

[spare drift]

is this enough for the queen? its my first playthru so

[subtle parrot]

Should be fine

[spare drift]

i mean my stuff is max so

cant upgrade above max

but do you have any tips for the thing

what to do and avoid, stuff like that

[subtle parrot]

Avoid her lol tbh though, i just noticed you don't have an eitr food to go with your staffs, that would be good if you plan on using them against her. But last time i fought her i was full mage armor with eeh food build.

But if you plan on brawling that should be fine too

[sudden helm]

do wild boars despawn if they have some taiming progress?

[subtle parrot]

No, once they start taming they shouldn't despawn

[sudden helm]

ok cool thx

[spare drift]

so ranged lol

[vernal cargo]

Is there a command to stop fulings from spawning in meadows? Ive tried resetkeys but they still spawn in.

[subtle parrot]

Definitely doable both ways, but she hits hard. So personally i prefer mage build and just blast her with ice and fire as much as possible

[spare drift]

probably gonna do something like that myself after restocking on eitr food

[subtle parrot]

Don't forget some eitr mead too

[spare drift]

are her attacks magical or physical

so that i know whether to take yagluth or bonemass

[fathom badge]

Take bonemass, and some poison resist (lingering stamina is handy, too)

[subtle parrot]

Physical, i think she does some poison too

[primal geyser]

Hi im playing with my friend and im digging the mountain on black forest to get good terrain for the house but there is this annoying fog on the ground i i dont know if in the house there will be still this fog or will it disappear.

[marble roost]

It will still be there

Can’t get rid of it (other than with dev commands probably), so best build above the fog or raise the ground to above the fog again if you don’t like it

[fathom badge]

I don't think devcommands will even do that

[primal geyser]

thanks i just raised the ground and its gone

[static finch]

How does pvp work? Me and my friend were messing around with our newly obtained skoll and hati and krom, and we both ended up one shotting each other with the secondary attacks but barely chipping any HP with M1s

[lilac coyote]

There isn't really any PVP in the game

[static finch]

i mean more the friendly fire damage i should say

it's weird that a giant sword and two toothpicks can instantly kill someone with a secondary

[lilac coyote]

Damage is exactly the same as it would be for enemy mobs so its utterly unbalanced.

[static finch]

i see

[lilac coyote]

This is why I say there isn't a PVP mode.

[static finch]

thank you

[finite fox]

Someone have an idea why when im playing and raid event occur there is only one type with first boss? with boars etc? Nothing else

[subtle parrot]

Are you stuck there?

[warm cove]

just working on it

kiling the bugs before i try for it

[buoyant peak]

There's only one raid before eikthyr. More raids unlock as you progress.

It's more beneficial than anything so better to take advantage as long as possible from it

[finite fox]

Killed the queen last week and there is a still one raid always

[lilac coyote]

Until you've killed a boss, the only raid is 'Eikthyr rallies the creatures of the forest.' which is boars and necks

[warm cove]

managed to get out

[buoyant peak]

Use the console and type listkeys to see which ones are set.

I assume it's implied that you have killed all bosses prior?

[finite fox]

Yeah killed them all

[primal geyser]

Do you know why random objects to build appear at me and my friends on my serwer? we are playing on mods and randomly today random buildings are building next to us on their own

[subtle parrot]

Sounds like a #mods-issues question
Only thing other than being a problem with a mod would be maybe a network issue, maybe desynced and stuff isn't loading in properly. But I couldn't say with certainty either way.

[buoyant peak]

Then check the global keys with the command I told you.

Only way that could happen is if resetkeys was done at some point before and removed all global keys from that world

[finite fox]

Maybe something bugged out bcs im on PTB, im gonna kill every boss again and see what will happen

Wait a sec, does those keys are binded to the world? Bcs i killed 4 of them on 1 world and then i moved to the new one and killed yagluth and the queen

[subtle parrot]

Afaik, they're world based. Like whatever boss had been killed in that world specifically. And i don't think the "player based raids" switches that, but i haven't messed with it to be sure. @finite fox

[buoyant peak]

I think they're set when you mount them on the spawn

I forgot how it works

[reef flame]

Ballista is useless, it just shoots me. What's the point in this?

[lilac coyote]

Most guns will shoot you if you stare down the barrel.

[fathom badge]

It shoots anything in front of it. Think of it like a claymore... front towards enemy 😛

[buoyant peak]

Use a trophy

[uncut mirage]

you need to set the target using trophies
They are still useless, but really good at killing loxes

[fathom badge]

That said, you can have it target specific enemies by using a trophy on them, but it will ONLY fire at those enemies in that case. You use a lox trophy, it won't shoot at fulings.

[uncut mirage]

They miss everything else

[reef flame]

Only one trophy?

It's god damn useless

[lilac coyote]

It would be expensive if you needed more than one.

[uncut mirage]

the trophy is just used to tell the ballista what to target

Ballista are good for big enemies that move slow

[buoyant peak]

They're definitely not

[reef flame]

Which is almost nothing...

Even seekers just run up to it and kill the ballista

[uncut mirage]

trolls and lox

[reef flame]

soldiers do the same

The only use is the sky creature, but even then its fire attack will destroy it

[buoyant peak]

If you put them in range of their attacks you really can't expect much more...

[reef flame]

I can just kill those...

[buoyant peak]

You seem to be expecting them to turn into a mech and smash mobs.

Build walls, place them up there, let them do their thing

Like literally anything in the game, it requires trial and error until you see its actual potential

[uncut mirage]

I wouldn't rely on ballista for defence
Big walls and moat always wins

[reef flame]

So build a wall and place it on, and just let it shoot at me every time I past by

[buoyant peak]

.

[reef flame]

they ruined it with the friendly fire, why have that at all, it just makes it really hard to use

[lilac coyote]

Don't walk in front of the big gun? It's not rocket science.

[reef flame]

Ah yes the classic put it in a useful position but not in a path, because enemies love going to places you're not in

[buoyant peak]

Balance

It would replace any form of base defense is they were so reliable.

[reef flame]

They cant shoot fast targets, is that not already a big enough restriction

[buoyant peak]

Place traps

[reef flame]

Guessing the traps can also target allies

I think you forgot the part where mobs and enemies go to the player, they wont just stand still and die to a ballista

[buoyant peak]

And targets usually move fast when alerted, ballistas can even sneak attack them during idle state

[buoyant peak]

Matter of placement, they would only be alerted if they saw you.

I have ballistas on the perimeter of my bases and as long as I stay inside, they will take care of enemies. And if I know they will just shoot them, I don't need to go myself to fight them as the ballistas will be doing just that

[fathom badge]

Make two ballistas and use different trophies on each if you need multiple targets. That said... I usually target them for gjall and surround my Mistlands base with them. For regular base defense, I just have them pointed at a section where enemies might approach, but I don't access often.

[torpid otter]

for 2star wolf taming, if it turns day before they eat, will they only try to eat again at nighttime?

[lilac coyote]

If they haven't STARTED taming, they'll despawn.

[vital osprey]

If I have performance problems, would this channel be better to ask in, or bugs?

[reef flame]

I'll consider it.

[reef flame]

I don't mind it damages allies, I just wish it didn't attack the person WHO BUILT IT

Just so stupid

[fathom badge]

The thing is, they're not smart. Just like bear traps or spikes, they just do damage. Using a trophy was a concession the devs made in the first place.

[reef flame]

I think its too bad at the moment to be worth using

The idea is cool but in reality it's easier to just kill enemies yourself, and way faster

Plus you don't risk being hit by your own weapon

[fathom badge]

If the ballista are above you or further out, they can add to your damage. I've had them take out gjall when I'm otherwise distracted on the other side of the base or whatnot

[dark prawn]

Ok so I have problem I hope someone can help me with. I cannot create a character. Whenever I do, it just disappears. When I log into one my old characters, I'll play for a while on a server then log off. When I log back onto the server, I roll back and start at the starting area as if I did not even play. This is what I have done to try and fix it. I have validated my game files, I have uninstalled the game completely using revo uninstaller. So there were no traces of valheim left after the uninstall. I reinstalled the game. I am not sure what else I can do. Please help. I would like to play with my friends.

[vernal cargo]

is there a way to turn off loot completely from monsters?

[ember sluice]

you can toggle auto loot on or off. the junk still drops when you kill the mob but you wont pick it up

[fathom badge]

It may be having an issue with steam cloud... can you try to create the character as a local character instead of the default cloud, and see what happens there?

[dark prawn]

Yes. I'll try

Stupid question. How do you create a character locally?

[thorn spire]

anyone know how the damage multipliers stack? I.e. if I'm using a knife with the secondary attack and backstabbing an unaware target, do I get 6x + 3x my damage roll or does it roll damage, then multiply by 3, then multiply by 6?

[dark prawn]

kk got it. Thanks

[sharp sierra]

What will happen to my pre-existing world when Ashlaunds go live and I update?

[rocky crown]

hey yall i backup my valheim data like two years ago for the mistland public test version and they look like picture attached. i want to revert back and play with a friend who is playing on the normal retail version how do i do that? what are these files and where do i put them?

[dark prawn]

I have tried making a charater and it autodeletes when I hit create or start. Also, when I try to my old character from cloud to local. It tells me that I already have a file there.

[buoyant peak]

I got a troll raid once and didn't even need to get out of the house, ballistas did a perfect job at repelling them without me doing anything.

They're great

[fringe sundial]

If you are not in the PTB, and haven't tried to explore the ashlands, it will be the same as when mistlands came out. You will have a huge update to download and then the ashlands will be available to explore.

[fringe sundial]

If you are referring to backing out of the PTB, I would imagine reversing the steps you took to join should work. Worst case, you may need to create a new world after backing out to make sure no ashlands content follows you.

[long halo]

how do i restore installed game files

as in backups

cuz i backed up my game before i did the beta shit and i did the beta thing, fucked up my world, and i went back to normal valheim and my world is gone what do i do

[turbid mantle]

Did you check the folder in your file finder?

[long halo]

i fixed it btw thank you for trying to help though

[turbid mantle]

Sweet

Ah thanks for the spoiler

what can i do???

Are there instructions for setting up Valheim Ashlands dedicated server for the public test?

[wary ridge]

If i have player based raids on and ive killed bonemass but the other person has killed no boss but is having oozers and blobs. the raid was "a foul smell from the swamp" whyyyyy?

[fringe sundial]

short answer is make a new world. The Icon you are seeing likely means the world is to old to work with current content.

[steel comet]

Hello, I have a question regarding a greydwarf farm I'm trying to get to work reliably. I have 6 braziers up, and at times the greydwares are just getting into areas where they do not get damaged by the brazier. Should I go get more braziers made or is this bad placement on my part? Is this the correct channel to ask this? should I share an image of the issue in question?

[fringe sundial]

this is a ok chanel for this question. you might also wana try in the building help section> https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608. but to answer your question, I have only ever seen hearths be used for killing GD's

[steel comet]

I had read that hearths no longer can kill them due to an update?

[fringe sundial]

they aparently still work but will take damage over time (they use to be invulnerable and only needed more wood for "maintence")

so now you will have to repair the hearth and resupply it with wood when it runs out*

[steel comet]

well, worth a shot. Because I'd have to resupply the braziers anyway

interesting, they seem to refuse to spawn on the hearth.

[ebon parcel]

My most successful greydwarf farm by far was using a 1* / 2* wolf breeding farm that drops the cubs into the pit. You can shut off the greydwarf spawner until your wolves are grown and then open the breeder up again, it's chaotically glorious

[spark shell]

make the available area smaller and use 5 closely placed standing braziers in a cross shape

that's what I did anyways

also raise the earth just a bit so most of the braizer is buried underground

just enough for them to not break due being buried and allow refueling

[spark shell]

(leveling using the hoe might give better results than actually raising ground)

[rotund venture]

hey guys entirely new to the game wondering what tips yall might have for a new player or resources i should take advantage of learning the game

[fringe sundial]

Wiki and youtube are great if you don't mind spoilers

otherwise take what the birds (hugin/munin) say into account, read every stone you come across and don't get to angry when you die a lot.

think of this game like deamon/darksouls but with more RPG elements like building and crafting.

[ripe niche]

Hey all just was wondering why some of my wood foundation seems go lose exactly 50% of their heath randomly. If anyone can help

[fringe sundial]

more than likely it is water damage. with the exception of roofs, all wood takes damage from water.

be it rain or being close enough to a lake/ocean for waves to come from the ground during a storm.

[ripe niche]

Oh my gosh I didn't know that. Ok so if it happens to some of the support poles in my house how would I fix that?

Also I appreciate the info a lot haha my friends and I have been going crazy due to it

[split inlet]

Repairs are free so you can always just repair constantly. I just read that slanted wooden structures don't take water damage so you could look into that. Once you get a stonecutter, I think you can start making stone houses that don't take damage

[ripe niche]

@split inlet I'm exited for that they just become an eye sorr

[split inlet]

Yeah, I'm sure it's annoying. I'm not a builder so my friends take care of those issues for me, thankfully. We're about to upgrade to stone soon

[ripe niche]

@split inlet I wish you and your friends safety in your future conquest. I just got back into the game after stopping for a year or so. So I have my self and two friends that are fresh trying to explain things to them is sometimes hard lol

[fringe sundial]

might wana look into a dedicated server if the 2 of you want to play more often that the host can allow for.

[verbal folio]

Hey guys anyone know what the black forge needs to be level six?

[timid halo]

I build a Greydwarf spawner farm but the fireplaces get damage when they're being walked on. Is there a solution to this problem?

[fringe sundial]

wiki might have your answer @verbal folio , and if it doesn't, then it might be a ashlands thing.

[verbal folio]

Yeah iv checked no word

[fringe sundial]

a update made the damage a thing when before hearths were (largely) invulnerable. only "fix" i know if is to repair it every so often. someone also mentioned using standing braziers and sinking them into the ground just enough that you can refill/repair them

[timid halo]

ah okay, thanks

[quick fiber]

guys my mouse started acting weirdly, needing to hold right click to build and not being alligned to what im looking at, just going to the side if im lookin right etc.

the funny thing is i dont have the "Hold right click to build" option turned on

nvm relogging fixed it

Nothing

So i cant upgrade my primal axes to level three then great 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nope.

Easiest way to deal with them is by crude bow and a ton of arrows

kite them around rocks & pine trees and shoot them with arrows. Once he's knocked a few trees down, you can jump over them to get away and he'll walk around, giving you time to shoot him a few times.

#valheim-public-test

[stoic orbit]

i'll just duplicate it there

[lilac ingot]

Hello, how easy is it to migrate my current world to the PTS? And how easy would it be to migrate back once public?

[willow badge]

on Steam? you just make a backup, switch and continue like normal
then you can switch back when PTB is not ahead

[lilac ingot]

I'm really sorry, could you explain the process slightly more? Very nooby in this area

[long halo]

whats the best stamina food meadows - mistlands

[fringe sundial]

Might be honey for meadows.
Blk forest might be carrot soup
Swamp = onion soup

Otherwise just search the wiki. Wiki>food will give you a list of all foods available in the live version of Valheim.

Anything from the PTB will have a PTB tag on it.

[split inlet]

There’s onions in the swamp?

[fringe sundial]

I was just going down the wiki list. Might be wrong.

You are correct, Onion are mountain food.

Turnips are swamp.

[serene tangle]

http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/food-planner
here you can click on "max sta" buttons and see the names as well as total stats and other stuff

[shy shard]

anyone got tips for round roofs ? or is it just always gonna be painful to make

[fringe sundial]

plenty of youtube tutorials, but yes they are a pain. I usualy patch the center hole (in the roof) with stone. I do have an example but it uses PTB materials so I would have to DM you or drop it into https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128 for you to view

[opaque sonnet]

All the best food is made in a cauldron right?

[fringe sundial]

depends on how you define best. there are 4 stations (kinda) for cooking. cook station (wood), cauldron, metal cook station and oven. Oven you will need around plains+.

[opaque sonnet]

Metal cook station really doesnt have any use for end game foods though does it?

Past Yagluth on this new server atm but its been a long time so Trying to find out if its just the cauldron & oven at this point

[fringe sundial]

aparently, according to the wiki, you can use the metal cook station for seeker meat

there is also ptb cooking listed

[finite fox]

Yes

[subtle parrot]

Some cauldron foods still need ingredients to be cooked, though most can be prepared on the normal little wooden one. But in general it's not absolutely necessary unless you want to cook serpents meat.

[keen vine]

I'm stuck what do I do?

I'm inside an unbreakable log

and the water is too deep to use any tools

idk how the fuck I even got here

[true steeple]

Use the dev command goto 0 0, and fly if you need to because it could put you above water

[keen vine]

will that mark my character for cheating?

[subtle parrot]

There's no achievements, so i don't think it'll affect anything like that

[true steeple]

Yes. I’m not sure what else to do but maybe someone will have a better idea soon.

Being marked for cheating only affects the stats command that needs cheats to be used anyway so right now there’s no permanent effects, unless I’ve missed something

[keen vine]

oh that's hilarious

btw this is where I got stuck xD

I can't even describe how sad this sight makes me

why is this even here? just to torture me?

[shell crane]

@keen vine I’ve seen that so many times lol, if you need help in the swamp or a body to help grab iron lmk

[keen vine]

I'm just trying to get enough iron to get all the mistland toys

I mined up like 400 when I first got to the swamp, and I've finally ran out XD

[subtle parrot]

Those big indestructible tress can be glitchy sometimes

[shell crane]

Jesus man! That’s insane lol

[keen vine]

I know it took me like 8 hours

might've been closer to 500 don't even know

worst part is that I hadn't realized yet that weapons were useful, and I just had a bronze axe, so the whole time I was just running from dozens of draugrs with a cart full of 1500 pounds of iron

and on top of all that, I didn't know what a cauldron did, and I didn't bother with the rested bonus.

I literally only started using the rested bonus after I got to the mistlands. Why do I hate myself so much?

honestly, now that I know to actually use the advantages the game gives you, hardcore isn't bad at all.

I also didn't make a fermenter until the bonemass farted all over me. That was what made me give in

[fringe sundial]

yaaa....ne needs a breathmint. or some tums....so much vomit.

[celest gorge]

yall can someone help me get smelting ores

[true steeple]

You mean you don’t know how to smelt them? Is Hugin not helping enough?

[fringe sundial]

ceramics are needed to get into ashlands. might wana ask here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128

[tiny wren]

says i dont have access hmm sorry :/

[bold lynx]

how do I straight flatten an area, level ground liek wont raise this area im trying to flatten (I want to level an area)

[fringe sundial]

you can gain access to that chat by going to "channels and rolls" and selecting "i want to see all chanels" and "i want to be a public tester". after that, you should have access

[fringe sundial]

depends on what you need. use the hoe's flatten option on small/medium bumps. use the "raise ground" to increase the level of a area (valley). use a pickaxe for any large lumps in the ground.

[bold lynx]

oh, so I gotta kinda fiddle with the area, like raise and mine and stuff till its bump enough to flatten with the area

[fringe sundial]

yep

plenty of youtube tutorials on the matter

[bold lynx]

ill see them

[trail acorn]

Hello
Where can I find the Swamp Dungeon?
I've already searched in 6 Swamp and still nothing

[bold lynx]

are wood pole 1m supportive? i wanna make a large house but elevated slightly cuz terrain is annoying and im worried it cant support it

[wary ridge]

Hello. I have player based raids on and I have a player who's getting oozer and blobs a foul smell from the swamp which is only suppose to happen once you kill bonemass.

Any idea why he would be getting those if he hasn't even come into contact with iron. He's mined chitin that's it. IVE liked bonemass

[real nebula]

If your world/server isn't configured to have player-based raids, then world progress is global

Meaning, you killing Bonemass will give anyone else on the server post-bonemass raids

[wary ridge]

It's got player based raids on.

[real nebula]

Dedicated server or no?

[wary ridge]

Yes

And it shows before you connect

[real nebula]

hmm, that's odd

You might want to ask in #dedicated-server, there might be an issue currently with player-based raid setting that I'm not aware of

[wary ridge]

I know we got the forest is moving when we picked up copper before killing eikthyr

So they must have changed how keys are unlocked

[marble roost]

did you make a bronze pickaxe?

[shy shard]

How rare are ||frozen lakes|| ? % wise

[uncut mirage]

not sure how rare, but 1 in 3 maybe.
I found a massive one with a stone golem
was pretty epic

[marble roost]

They used to be super rare, but got made more common recently I believe

[keen vine]

is it just me or does the demolisher suck?

[uncut mirage]

both the heavy hammers suck lol

they def need a buff

[keen vine]

what's the other heavy hammer?

[uncut mirage]

bone hammer

[keen vine]

the stagbreaker?

[shy shard]

1 in 3 ?? no way

[uncut mirage]

There's an iron one too

[keen vine]

yeah I never made that one

[old needle]

??

[uncut mirage]

so yeah 3

[shy shard]

I did 10+ caves in this world and haven't found one, in my previous saves I also remember the rates to be way lower, maybe 1 in 20

[old needle]

i need help

[keen vine]

i was very unimpressed by the stagbreaker's damage output so I didn't bother with the iron one

[old needle]

i keep getting blocked from certain things

[shy shard]

explain

[old needle]

like suggestions

[keen vine]

define blocked and things

[old needle]

i was trying to put something in the channel but it wouldnt let me

ive verified

my chat is still limited

[pliant lodge]

Was the channel in slowmode?

[old needle]

suggestions

it might be cause im new but im just confused lol

[pliant lodge]

yes, slow mode engaged in suggestions

[old needle]

i just had a couple ideas ;-;

[marble roost]

all 3 2-handed hammers are mediocre to me, but some people make good use of them. They're just for when you're getting swarmed by enemies. Can be good when skellies are raiding your base

Most times though a atgeir will way outclass a 2 handed hammer

[keen vine]

I don't think I've ever been killed by a skeleton.

they're not even a threat with a wooden club and leather armor

[marble roost]

Agreed

well, they can become threatening when you're in meadows gear against a 2 star Vhard skeleton, but typically they're ez pz

[keen vine]

true

[marble roost]

Put a 💡 at the start of the message, and you can send a message every 5 min

The chat deletes suggestions without that lightbulb at the start, just how it works

[gentle comet]

Is there any way i can play with my pc friend? I am on xbox and i cant join him. There is always a connection lost error. Anyone knows how to fix it?

[old needle]

i did, it did a screen shake and wouldnt let me send

[marble roost]

It usually does that when you're sending the messages too fast according to the slowmode. So if you tried sending two messages within 5 minutes that happens

[old needle]

thats strange cause ive only been trying to send the one message

[marble roost]

maybe just try again in a bit

[keen vine]

it just occurred to me that I've never seen a star troll

is that not a thing?

[slate terrace]

I read that there was a boot config thing to make the game play better. I am setting up a dedicated server. What was it again?

[keen vine]

if you can see the server but you can't connect properly, that's a network issue, probably not based on the launcher you use. Is your PC friend running the latest non-beta version?

[slate terrace]

nvm fixed it.

[fringe sundial]

you have to use the lightbulb icon before your text (you will get a warning from odin if you dont)

[fringe sundial]

Yes, stared trolls exist. If I remember right, one is red and the other is sandy/yellow.

[slate terrace]

Okay, the Valheim Dedicated Server keeps crashing from the command line startup.

The only way it does not is if I start up the server via steam. But if I do that, it logs me out of my other PC where I have the Valheim game installed. Why?

[fringe sundial]

steam will only allow for one "instance" of a game to be open at a time. but as far as your server questions go: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 ask here

[slate terrace]

Fixed, thanks

[naive mason]

Hello, I have a problem, 6 swamp explored and no crypte founded, how is it possible ?

[fringe sundial]

RNG is the short answer. your world might have less than average spawn for sunken crypts. much like how mine had almost no surtlings.

[naive mason]

Uh, that’s so sad, i’ve been searching them from 9pm to 3am i’m so tired

[fringe sundial]

if you are ok with "cheeting", there is a interactive map that shows estimated locations of a lot of different things if you input your world's "seed".

granted, it isn't 100% accurate due to ashlands being in active testing

[naive mason]

Nah, thx for the helping but that’s wayyy too cheating for me

I will just endure 5 more swamp hoping for a crypt

[fringe sundial]

ok. may Odin bless you with bountiful iron once you find those crypts then.

[naive mason]

Yeah hope so xd tysm

[wary ridge]

I did. He did not and player based raids are on

[marble roost]

Bronze pickaxe enables Forest moving raid

[turbid mantle]

Player based raids has some really weird triggers

[wary ridge]

I agree. I'm just trying to figure out what they are because it seems there's no documentation on it.

All the poor guy has is chitin I think

[upper crescent]

i have the same issue but i can find the crypts but no vesvigirs for bonemass :/

[turbid mantle]

There’s an entire wiki page on it

It just barely means anything

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events#Player-based_requirements

[turbid mantle]

Well it does, plenty of it is valid but I’ve seen cases of fresh players getting swamp/mountains raids without ever leaving the meadows

Has anyone figured out the average amount of landmass biomes get per world

Mostly I’m just curious what’s the average amount of Ashlands compared to other biomes since it’s got a limited area to appear

[lilac coyote]

Not for a while, certainly pre Ashlands PTB.

[fringe sundial]

I imagine if you could find a list of seed(s), you could compare general sizing using the interactive map that is online...

[turbid mantle]

Shouldn’t most of the seeds on the seeds wiki list be outdated?

[turbid mantle]

I was thinking more along the lines of using a script to just hit random seed and measure each biome %

[fringe sundial]

that would work better than what I had in mind....

[turbid mantle]

I know that’s practically your msg but without labor

I’m just not smart enough to do that

[fringe sundial]

same. was gana hold a ruler up to the screen and take a picture with my phone lol

[turbid mantle]

Honestly doesn’t sound like a horrible project for learning to code

More complicated than making a calculator but not tooooo intense

[fringe sundial]

or import the picture into a photoedditor and place grids

[turbid mantle]

Even easier to make the script if you start with just uploading the maps to a measure and compare tool

Idk if you even need grids it can probably just count pixels

[fringe sundial]

sounds like a project for someone in the https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550301341782027 chat

[wary ridge]

so hes getting blobs. he would need a bonemass trophy or wishbone. hasnt had either of them.

[turbid mantle]

I’m surprised more people didn’t chime in earlier since I’ve only heard player based raids as being busted

When I scrolled up and saw scarlet hadn’t heard of it I was like no way especially with that half day conversation about it awhile back but I guess scarlet doesn’t get around to read everything

[wary ridge]

update: it no longer matters because another player who was unaware of the triggers ran up and hit the bonemass power next to him....so....dragons it is! lolol

[turbid mantle]

I think acquiring the power and being affected by the power are separate things but I could be wrong

Idk that seems like a @lilac coyote question if being affected by a power is the same as acquiring on the raid page

[marble roost]

I'd assume being affected doesn't count either, but have no evidence for it

[keen vine]

is there a way to change my character's appearance?

[marble roost]

I think some Hildr stuff can help with that, but tbh I've never progressed far enough with her questline

Think she only lets you alter your beard and hair though

[steel comet]

Is there something I can build on top here to protect the spawner from air raids? (drakes) does iron flooring work?

(and still have them spawn mobs)

[uncut mirage]

Yes - find Hildir

Hildir adds 3 new dungeons and mini-boss
They all drop chest which unlock new clothing and items in her store
Including, barber chair

[gentle comet]

Yo guys i got a question, i am currently playing with my friend on xbox, he is the host. Can I somehow join the server alone or he needs to host it all the time?

[radiant forum]

Yeah he'll need to host the whole time unless you have a dedicated server

[gentle comet]

Ok ty

[dim saffron]

If we start a valheim world now, can we update our world to the Ashlands update later ?

[lean hill]

can i ask my noob question here? so i don't bother general valheim chat

[shut zinc]

yes

[lean hill]

Does the silex axe cut whit tree?

[somber pawn]

does ashlands introduce anything into the previous areas or is the rest of the game still the same leading up to the fire area

[shy shard]

To cut white trees (birch trees) you need at least the ||bronze axe||

[wintry flame]

hey guys, do items from destroyed chests despawn if i have a tombstone near them?

[shy shard]

Dropped items despawn after 2 ingame days if there's no workbench near them

[hardy rock]

just curious, does the new battering ram for the ashlands update can mine the new flametal ores?

[true steeple]

You should ask in #valheim-public-test ( id:customize if you don't have access), no spoilers here

[hardy rock]

ok sorry mb

[halcyon crag]

you can use that, just make sure not to block off all the spawns in the process

[idle isle]

How do I download the public test server with steamcmd?

[halcyon crag]

they need somewhere in 10x10m around the spawner to spawn, if all that terrain is covered the spawner will shut off

[idle isle]

i did use "app_update 896660 validate -date public test "

but still 0.217.46,not 0.218.14

[meager vortex]

i accidently spawned in hildir but i just wanted the chest becuase my boat was demolished. is ther ea way to remove hildir and did i break my game now and moved hildir location? i havent found hildir out in the open yet

[old bronze]

forcedelete 10 hildir is a command that removes it.

(If Hildir's ID is hildir, I'm not sure)

[meager vortex]

just that one npc not the original one?=

[old bronze]

It removes every Hildir within 10m radius

[meager vortex]

nice do you know the commands for the chest drop in the frost cave after defeating the "bos"

[old bronze]

The chest?

[meager vortex]

yes

[old bronze]

spawn chest_hildir2

[meager vortex]

thx

forcedelete Hildir 10 didn't work

[old bronze]

forcedelete 10 hildir

Should work if you have turned devcommands on

[shut zinc]

pumped af for Ashlands

[meager vortex]

thx man I was so smart and wrote Hildir first

[old bronze]

Yeah that happens to me too sometimes

[unique moat]

Is there any way to set up a dedicated server in such a way that vanilla players can join in no problem but if modded players want to join they will be flagged by the azumatt anticheat

[loud linden]

Do you have a fire source in your pen?

[opaque sonnet]

Yeah, put a heart in the floor, can just toss my eggs in there to hatch

[shy shard]

does a ||Serpent Trophy|| float

[opaque sonnet]

Not by default

[loud linden]

Meat does. Nothing else.

[shy shard]

okay thanks

[opaque sonnet]

Wood does too

[shrewd sedge]

True, but you don't get wood from serpents

[loud linden]

I meant from that particular creature

[opaque sonnet]

Ah right

[loud linden]

Although, I don't know the result from an aroused serpent.

[opaque sonnet]

Guess theres no way around this happening?
Made a massive gap in what used to be land, to make a dock closer to my base
(previous terrain loads in, getting closer removes it again )

[timid echo]

do we have a good idea of when ashlands is realsing fully?

[uncut mirage]

few weeks I suspect

End of May beginning of June is a good guess

[timid echo]

how long was mistlands in pbt?

[buoyant peak]

Two weeks.

But has 0 relevance for ashlands

[timid echo]

ok, thx

[true steeple]

I'm a bit late but yes, there's no way to stop the low-detail terrain from loading there.

[opaque sonnet]

Not late at all, thanks for the response!

[celest gorge]

guys what should i do with my bronze

[uncut mirage]

what do you mean?

Bronze is useful

• Axe (fine wood)
• Nails (boat)
• Buckler (parry)
• Weapons against swamp mobs
• Forge upgrades

[true steeple]

Make an atgeir and destroy everything

[chrome coyote]

um. i cant luch my game. just black screen, only can see in game cursors (sword). just reinstaled. still dosnt work. any suggestions?

launch*

[opaque sonnet]

Bronze is so good to have later too, for upgrading stations or just decorating

[celest gorge]

is it normal to find no cores in a burial chamber

[uncut mirage]

nope, but it happens if you're unlucky

I found a crypt with 14 cores once

[timid halo]

is there any benefit to defeating the elder again but at a different altar?

[true steeple]

You get a trophy for decoration and a spare swamp key, but nothing new

[timid halo]

alright

[uncut mango]

on a dedicated server and server host need help turning on player based raids. one player has beaten bonemass and everyone is getting drakes. i have googled this for the last two hours and i cant get a solid answer

are we able to change this setting after a server has gone live?

[uncut mirage]

yes

[uncut mango]

oh thank the nordic gods

is there simple a dev command he can run? or do we have to take the server offline? i literally cannot find anything online, or the pdf

[uncut mirage]

depends which hosting service you use...but yes all those world modifiers can be adjusted anytime

[uncut mango]

g portal

[uncut mirage]

Basic Setting > World modifiers

[uncut mango]

anyways thank you, ill make sure they know

[uncut mirage]

I use g-portal as well
you need to toggle - Player base raids

[uncut mango]

will we need to do that reset keys thing? or should it just know that part

regardless only two people have done those bosses so well probably just reset to be safe. were doing no map no portal so its been a slog and we love it

[uncut mirage]

nope, because they added world modifiers

[uncut mango]

are those the settings we need for player based raids? the normal raid modifier?

oh its at the bottem

[uncut mirage]

Raid modifier sets the frequency
Player base raids sets the raid per player

[uncut mango]

just to be safe, do we want it checked, or unchecked? im assuming checked, opposit of the picture

[uncut mirage]

yes, you want to turn on player base raids so each player gets raid based on their progresion

[uncut mango]

thank you so much this was very helpful

[alpine blade]

how do I activate cheats? i want to fly

[buoyant peak]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands

[alpine blade]

I did the /devcommands thing and it said devcommands true, but when I type /fly nothing happens

also idk how to enter console to type debugmode

[subtle parrot]

Are you on pc or xbox?

[buoyant peak]

Open console and enter debugmode then press z

[alpine blade]

pc, i had to add "-console" to launch options in steam

will ashlands spawn in an old map that isnt fully explored?

[fringe sundial]

So long as the southern end of that world wasn't explored, it should without issue. If it was, you might have to use devcommands to force a terrain update.

[dark stratus]

is there anyway to reduce the size of pins on xbox? they are so massive on the map

[fringe sundial]

At least on PC, they scale with zoom. They will look massive/cluttered if zoomed out but ok if zoomed in...but I don't think there is anything be default to change the size(other than mods possibly).

[last ether]

i am playing on pc with the xbox app and my valhiem world says missing db what do i do

[fringe sundial]

That sounds like a corrupted download, but I'm not sure since I've never run into that issue. Might Wana try asking here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550076216573962

[loud linden]

I can't help with your query, but I'm very curious why you would want to take the gaming potential of a PC and run anything at XBox level.

[frail cave]

Coming back to the game for the first time in a long while. Is there a reason why it feels like everything is so blury graphically? Its like there is a filter smeared over the game

[loud linden]

It's not an indie movie. Check your graphics settings.

[fringe sundial]

I do remember heading about a visual setting doing some nonsense like that. But my potato runs on low end so I am likely either use to it or it's a higher end setting I have turned off.

[opaque sonnet]

Does a troll ever despawn btw? was a natural spawning 2 star. kinda want to make him a nicer outpost at my docks.

[opaque sonnet]

In settings > Graphics > turn Draw distance to max to remove the blurry effect.

[faint topaz]

how the fuck do i enter debug mode

[buoyant peak]

devcommands > debugmode

[faint topaz]

i mined inside of a skull that was on water and now im stuck (with no portal back)

[faint topaz]

how do i open devcommands

[buoyant peak]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Console_Commands

[faint topaz]

thanks

[faint topaz]

i followed the steps

[buoyant peak]

Type devcommands first to enable them

Then type debugmode

[faint topaz]

thank you 😭 i just needed to get out of the skull

[lean hill]

advice on how to do a donjon alone?

[opaque sonnet]

Regular dungeon?
make a stagbreaker if your gear isnt too good yet. keep doors shut and hit the ground, it will hit enemies on the other side of the door / wall

[lean hill]

i don't have copper yet

[opaque sonnet]

Copper is kinda easy to get though, but if you dont want to wait for that, just go in with a club and still use the doors

[marble roost]

No. Very few mobs are able to despawn

[opaque sonnet]

nice, gonna make him something now than

[celest gorge]

should i get a bronze buckler or keep my max level wood shielf

should i get a bronze atgeir club or sword i can get one of them for now

[marble roost]

Definitely get bronze buckler

[opaque sonnet]

I always make the Atgeir, because of how strong the special attack is, can stunlock trolls and aoe farm pretty much anything, even goblins ( with higher versions ofc )

[marble roost]

Bronze mace is very good for swamp where you will be going next, I’d recommend

Atgeirs and swords are good in general too though!

Atgeir is the most busted melee weapon, it tends to take the fun out of combat if you use the special attack with it a lot

[celest gorge]

ok thank you

and peiople tell me to get bronze nails what are those good for

[opaque sonnet]

Cart, upgrades for workbench / forge etc

[celest gorge]

how do i upgrade my forge now that i think about it

[opaque sonnet]

aside from decorational stuff, oh and the boat

[celest gorge]

anvils ?

[marble roost]

Main use is making a boat. You’ll have to traverse the oceans soon probably

[opaque sonnet]

Theres a few upgrades you can get for it yeah
Forge bellows:
5 wood, 5 deer hide, 4 chains.
Anvils
5 wood, 2 bronze
Grinding wheel
1 Sharpening stone, 25 wood
Smiths anvil
20 iron, 5 wood
Forge cooler
10 copper, 25 fine wood
Forge toolrack
15 iron, 10 wood

[marble roost]

In the build menu, all the buildings next to the workbench upgrade the workbench. The one next to the forge upgrade the forge. They all have stars on them so you can see which ones give upgrades

Only make one of each. Multiple of the same item doesn’t give multiple upgrades

[celest gorge]

also are yous ure i should get a bronze shieldfit dosent seem much than my upgraded wood one

same with the mace

[marble roost]

Bronze shield is pretty nice once you go to swamp, especially if you upgrade it to lvl 2. Think wood shield may fail to block and parry some enemies

[opaque sonnet]

Cant raise water sadly, its in a static spot

[marble roost]

It's all up to preference though. You can make better gear to make combat easier, or go for a bit harder combat but save the time you woulda spent making gear. Up to you!

I often just make a bronze axe and shield, because the axe can both cut more advanced trees and is a decent melee weapon. Saves me from having to make other weapons and mine more copper (hate mining copper)

[finite fox]

Sadge :C

[opaque sonnet]

Tell me about it, I dug all of this out, and now I get to deal with the grass in the distance cuz of rendering 😄

[celest gorge]

yeah im gonna upgrade everything as much as possible before going to swamp imma gonna get a bronze mace the bronze shielf upgrade them to max and upgrade my forge and workbench to max before moving on and i need a bit more troll skin too to max it out

[finite fox]

I dont know how you can live with that lol XD

[opaque sonnet]

Well, kinda have to for the dock, its not like im there all the time, just have to deal with it when going out or coming back ( with the boat ) its out of sight otherwise

Was either that, or I'd have to run miles down to the water, and than have to run all the ores back from that distance too so fuck it

[celest gorge]

that looks really cool

[opaque sonnet]

Thanks! its still a work in progress, got to go around and put beams up, decorate it a bit etc but its something 😄

[finite fox]

Needed to delete my ss, forgot about that i was on PTB

Hope you guys saw nothing

[celest gorge]

np i started 3 days ago and once i go through all the biomes and kill the bosses im gonna start making stuff like that

i’m trying to get bronze weapons right now before i go to swamp

snd i need some more smelting cores i only have 7 so i have to keep on breaking my charcoal kiln and build a smelter and repeat

[opaque sonnet]

I love the building aspect of the game tbh, I dont really care for the combat, but playing with my brother so we took our time initially, made a huge house, had to replace the thatch roof with the dark wood roof later, was a bit of a pain 😄

[celest gorge]

i have a really simple small house for now

[finite fox]

Building in valheim is so chill, true

[celest gorge]

yeah i agree but i have to go through the biomes so i can get different materials

also is the swamp as hard as people say it is

[opaque sonnet]

Nah, honestly the swamp is kinda easy, the only thing that makes it dangerous is the rain, causing your stamina to run out faster

[finite fox]

Full set of bronze and potion for poison and you will be fine for sure

Mace works pretty well on swamps

[celest gorge]

also i’m planning on not making a sword

would an atgier and a mace be enough

[marble roost]

yea

One weapon is usually enough. Two is plenty safe

[last garden]

how do i find the seed for my dedicated server?

[raven bear]

why am i missing a portal craft recipe 🤔

[true steeple]

Have you tried dropping the ingredients and picking them up again? I don’t know what could’ve caused this, but I’ve seen it happen to others here.

Rejoining the world also could help??

[raven bear]

both things is tried

[uncut mirage]

its not easy the first time you ever experience it haha
it's easy once you know what to expect and how to prepare

yes. Max is 3 rn

[opaque sonnet]

Yeah but that same effect applies to any zone really, think the biggest issue people have with the swamp is the visibility and the terrain tbh

[marble roost]

Get the public tester role in #channels and roles (some reason it’s not linking)

Then talk in #valheim-public-test . Can’t talk about the public test in here

That said, ||max is 5|| in the beta

[uncut mirage]

with dark forest gear the swamp is always hazardous and anyone can get caught out.

[marble roost]

Swamp is the hardest biome imo

[opaque sonnet]

🤷‍♂️ Been fine for me, typically go there in troll leather a huntsman bow + atgeir

[uncut mirage]

gear vs biome - YES swamp is def the most difficult

[marble roost]

At least for experienced players. I know a lot of players going into mistlands first time struggle a lot too

[uncut mirage]

yea, experience is key and knowing what to expect but as a new biome its very unforgiving

[marble roost]

Huntsman bow is tough to get before going to swamp

[opaque sonnet]

I personally feel the mountains are more of a challenge before getting your wolf cloak, having to look at the timer, spot wolves, deal with drakes, especially during a snowstorm

[marble roost]

My biggest problem with swamp are starred archers coming from out of nowhere with a sneaky shot. Especially when playing on higher difficulty and you just get one shot on 2 hp foods

[uncut mirage]

never ever use. fine wood bow is all I use up to draugr fang

[marble roost]

I’m excited for mountains this run bc I’m doing a few challenges, including no resistance meads and no bow

[opaque sonnet]

Take it youre using a spear than for the dragons?

[true steeple]

At that point you can probably beat valheim without a player character

[marble roost]

Personally it’s my favorite bow. It’s much sneakier than the others so you can just kill big groups of enemies without them noticing you

[marble roost]

Possibly

[marble roost]

Yea, spear does fine. Got through mountains on Vhard without a bow before. This run is just on Hard, but no resistance meads is gonna be interesting

[coral lintel]

heyhey, if I want to use a tower shield in the mistlands is the serpent or blackmetal one the best? I'm very new to the game so I know very little about how useful the pierce resistance is.

[true steeple]

You might be able to out-heal the freezing? I’ve never tried it

[uncut mirage]

I've never used tower shields so not sure.

[true steeple]

If you don’t mind the extra slot, both would work well because of the pierce damage most attacks have
Use serpent shield if not fighting a seeker soldier

[opaque sonnet]

Nah without healing pots, only thing hes gonna be able to do is quickly put up fire camps and cover it

[true steeple]

Can even max health food not outheal it when rested?

[coral lintel]

ah that's great, tysm!

[opaque sonnet]

I mean maybe if you use food from higher biomes

[raven bear]

i got a issue where i cant unlock recipe for Portal

• I got fine wood, greydwarf eye and surtling cores
• im standing near a workbench
• ive tried relog
• ive tried drop everything and pick up again
• ive tried put in chest, log in with new char, pick up items

am i BUGGED?

[marble roost]

Freezing does give -100% hp regen so could be tough. Prob just gonna do campfires until I either get a silver vein or a frost cave so I can get some frost resist armor going

[uncut mirage]

Mistlands can be very challenging because its the latest biome and the gear is just good enough

[true steeple]

I didn’t realise it was -100. I thought it was -50, maybe that’s cold?

[marble roost]

Yea

Still with triple hp and health potions I could prob go through the frost fine, but I want stamina and campfires should be fine

[uncut mirage]

I never having issues with mountains vs freeze 😐

[uncut mirage]

Are you sure you're looking in MISC for it

[true steeple]

Sickbrain has already sent images. The recipe just isn’t there but all items are in the inventory.

[marble roost]

Do you use frost resistance mead?

[uncut mirage]

yep, hp doesn't even go down that fast when freezing

[marble roost]

Then that’s why you don’t have issues. Can’t use frost resist mead on a no-resistance-meads run though

Also those 1 ticks add up if you’re in the mountains for a long time, and what’s more concerning is the -100% hp regen and -50% stamina regen you get while freezing

I don’t expect too many issues though

[raven bear]

yes

[rose lily]

Hi everyone... so, I'm trying to restore a backup of a world I saved in july 2023. Now the thing is... even if I disable steam cloud, it keeps loading me into the latest version of the map, where I mistakenly went exploring a part of Ashlands, thinking the update was already public. I've put the old backup endless times into the C:\Users\NAME\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local folder, and I see it in the "Manage Saves" ... but somehow it always manages to load the version where I already explored that bigger part of Ashlands.

[uncut mirage]

Best thing to do is rename file to something different and then make sure you select that save file. Also check the date of the back up to make sure its 2023

[rose lily]

Thanks @uncut mirage , sadly, that is exactly what I've done. Renamed it to something obvious, like RESTORE_THIS.fwl and .db and I can even see after that, that the file names change with the original date and time being renamed as RESTORE_THIS.fwl.old and .db.old -- I don't know if it's because the newer versions can't handle such an old file... but neither do I understand where it's picking the "latest" version up, if I moved it out of the folder and have steam cloud disabled... it's like a total mistery.

[minor prism]

is there a date for ahlands yet?

[rose lily]

Is it possible that the map (I mean the one you see when you normaly press M and see all your markers and explored world) is stored within your character? That would explain what I'm experiencing... so basically I'm restoring my original world, but I'm seeing all the new parts that my character already visited (?)

[uncut mirage]

to me, that means the db you're restoring already has ashlands discovered

you need to go back to that old world and find an old back to restore from

[rose lily]

Never mind, found the answer on reddit (censoring link since I don't know if it's allowed) r*ddit.com/r/valheim/comments/16e8dvc/i_just_learned_where_you_have_explored_on_the_map/

[uncut mirage]

there is a way to reset your seed if that's what you want to do

[jade bloom]

Anyone ever had the "They were bros man" raid happen too often? It happened 2 in game days apart, they destroyed everythin... twice. day 822 and day 824

[rose lily]

@uncut mirage what do you mean with resetting the seed? I would've wanted for my character to basically "forget" that part of the Ashlands, so it can basically be populated once the Ashlands update offically drops. I always try to avoid biomes that are under development. But if I can't do anything about it, I'll just leave it that way. Don't want to lose my current world. I plan to start from scratch on a new seed once the Deep North is finally out, too.

[true steeple]

The raid you get is completely random, and I think there’s a 20% chance every 45 minutes of getting a raid so you just got unlucky.

[jade bloom]

yeah that was not ideal, thank you

[rose lily]

So I finally fixed my issue. It simply involved restoring the old world (.fwl and .db files) AND the character file too (.fch) -- Always learning something new, haha. Steam Cloud saved my a$$ there. Thanks @uncut mirage for your input!

[marble roost]

The map you have is tied to your character. But if you've explored somewhere that part of the world will have generated, and that's saved as part of the world. Changing anything about your character won't fix that, you'd have to make a new world or use mods (think there's one called Upgrade World) which can ensure all of ashlands updates even if you have explored it

Anyways that stuff should only be necessary if you've explored A LOT of the ashlands. If you've just taken a quick stroll through there it won't mess up the update much

[rose lily]

@marble roost Yeah, I guess you were typing your reply at the same time, hehe. I knew I had to "roll back" the world, but it was the first time I had the situation that I needed my character to forget things too (because of the explored "mini-map"). So yeah, rolled back both things. 🙂 PS: not only because of the mini-map actually, but because the last location was in the midst of the ashlands, so, not ideal haha.

[celest gorge]

what should i make before going to swamp yall

[celest gorge]

what does the boss at the black forest give u

[opal obsidian]

Swamp key

[gloomy edge]

poison resist mead

[marble roost]

Poison resist mead is a must, bring swamp key from Elder. Many people like maces in swamp but you really don’t need one until fighting the boss

Get the best food you can make in your cauldron. I recommend 2 ho foods 1 stamina

[celest gorge]

what does swamp key do

and how do i find elder

also what should i do with my 7 left over bronze i made a bronze buckler and made an adze and atgier upgraded

[marble roost]

There’s vegvisirs for elders location (stones with red runes) that show his location if interacted with. Those can be found by stone towers or in burial chambers in the Black Forest

Swamp key is used to unlock more stuff once you go to the Swamp (next biome after Black Forest). Not gonna say exactly what it does, joy of discovery!

[marble roost]

If you don’t have it yet definitely get a fermenter and cultivator. Although they might need more bronze

[celest gorge]

ok

thank you

[marble roost]

When you fight elder you can go melee if you trust in your skills, but a bow with fire arrows is much safer

[gloomy edge]

Summon two elder at once so you can hang one trophy at the spawn altar and the other at your home

[vivid sinew]

is anyone able to let me hop on their server to use their workbench to repair my blackmetal gear , my old server got deleted 😦

[fallen vigil]

any tips on picking out a good seed?

[lilac coyote]

Picking a seed? No, just play a random one.

[fallen vigil]

I guess you're right

[violet tinsel]

hi guys. Ashland are on stable or on beta ?

[lilac coyote]

On PTB...

[violet tinsel]

tx 🙂 u are pretty @lilac coyote i see now on steam

[lilac coyote]

Weird, but OK.

[violet tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/mao-nonosaka-future-diary-mirai-nikki-mao-camera-mirai-nikki-camera-gif-16894052843140997709

[pliant path]

I don't know what I'm supposed to do in the swamps

[violet tinsel]

First, make a poison resistance potion, it's a good thing. Second, suppose you killed the elder to get a swamp key. In the swamps there may be tombs where you can mine iron scrap

[pliant path]

I have swamp key and bronze gear

[violet tinsel]

I strongly recommend that you make the boat large, with iron nails, to be able to collect a lot of metal at once. I also recommend that you have already learned how to use portals, in the swamp it is very important that you have active portals to move around faster. Furthermore, I recommend that you use mace, because swamp mobs take a lot of mace damage. And I recommend that you have the troll armor upgraded, since the bronze armor takes away mobility, the troll armor ends up being better for walking in the swamp, despite having less defense.

[marble roost]

Search the swamps for structures with iron gates on them. Use key to unlock them. Likely you'll run into some swamps that don't have any of these, but keep searching.

Try to get some mob drops, always helps

Try to find turnips (look similar to the carrot seed flower, but yellow instead of white)

[raw dagger]

Hello everybody
Any tips for hardcore mountain?

[raw dagger]

Iron armor sucks
I can't even fight some wolf's (
Also it's a serve.. average ping 70 )

[marble roost]

Hardcore or Very Hard? (Because those often get confused)

anyways I recommend ranged weapons like bows and spears. Obviously for dragons, but also it's nice being able to stagger and kill wolves before they get close to you

[low quarry]

hey i was playing around with commands and found hildrs brass key ive never seen it before

i also found a silver and bronze key

[finite fox]

Keep your distance and avoid golems, idk what to exactly say xd

[onyx adder]

is there a reliable way to put a cart on a karve like this

i need to haul plenty of metals

[ebon parcel]

Try not to fight them on slopes as well. Combat on slopes sucks!

[hollow walrus]

make iron nails and get the ship made by iron nails fine wood deer hide and ancient bark. this ship has significantly much more storage

[willow raft]

If you make a narrow dock that your karve needs to be parked nicely in, you can make a ramp that leads to the right spot, make a hole over the karve where the cart needs to drop onto and put a back stop behind the gap, so you push the cart on the ramp till it hits the backstop and drops onto the karve without too much wiggling around.

[onyx adder]

oh yeah i just realized i can make the Longship now

already mentioned i hauled 150+ iron scraps last night lol

[willow raft]

Also a possibility and even easier to get a cart onto if you like hauling stuff with the cart and not having to transfer everything to the longship.

[onyx adder]

yeah i looked it up and the longship is wider, probably easier to fit in a cart on it

on top of the expanded cargo

also saw people saying that with a cart that's fully loaded and heavy, it would be harder to steer the boat

[boreal cobalt]

is there anything in this? It was blocked by a stone, I mined it but found nothing

[lean hill]

it is dangerous to cross sea in first ship?

[lilac estuary]

Well, hmm =). ||People do it all the time, if needed. Sometimes you are on an island and there's really no other way to travel.|| That being said, especially if playing alone, ||Sea serpents can easily take down the ship, unless the player is experienced, has a god bow and good ammo.|| Stay away from ||Swamps and other dangerous biomes||, build a portal as soon as you've landed in a safe biome.

I'd say, just do it. Carry along portal materials. There is not much to lose, anyways.

You pretty much have to do it in case your island does not have any ||swamps and iron||.

[lean hill]

i can't make portal yet

[lilac estuary]

Do you mean the raft (as in the first ship)?

[lean hill]

yes

[lilac estuary]

Oh. Certainly that's dangerous, then. People typically build rafts only in a pinch.

Have you killed Eikhtyr?

[lean hill]

Electrical deer? Yes

[lilac estuary]

Yes, eletrical deer =). Then you should find some black forest, mine with the antler pick-axe and upgrade your tools. Look around what you can get with them. You almost have all the ingredients to make a better boat (I'm trying not to spoil too much as it seems like it is your first playtrough).

[lean hill]

all my dark forest are small af

i have only 20 copper and 9 tin

[lilac estuary]

You really only need to find one copper node and some tin to go along with it. And crypts. But sometimes the RNG is just such that it creates a map where your starting island has not enough dark forests.

Try to see if you can see another island from your starting island. Take a raft there, build a hut and a bed, and start looking for more dark forests.

[lean hill]

mine is no iland is a friking continent

[boreal cobalt]

they should be able to make a karve from these

[lean hill]

carvez?

[boreal cobalt]

the first ship is a raft(the flat thing) and the next is karve that looks like an actual ship

it's made from bronze nails

[lean hill]

i have 20 of them and not ship recipe

[lilac estuary]

Do you have the better, first metal axe?

[lean hill]

fine wood?

[boreal cobalt]

oh right

[lean hill]

i have done the copper axe

[lilac estuary]

(if you cheese / exploit a bit of mechanics, it's fairly easy to get fine wood without the axe)

[boreal cobalt]

you need to chop a birch for fine wood

[lean hill]

this ship have storage no?

[boreal cobalt]

4 slots

[lean hill]

and hp?

[boreal cobalt]

if you sail during the day it's absolutely fine

[lean hill]

i need to sail in river

[lilac estuary]

Rivers are safe

[uncut mirage]

The Karve can out run the serpent full sail anyway

[lilac estuary]

But on the other hand, you can usually cross the rivers by swimming (unless it's a wide one. But then you can cross them with a raft, too, there will be no serpents in rivers)

[lean hill]

for movement speed boat is faster than me no?

[boreal cobalt]

yes

[lean hill]

so it's worth for me to put all my ressource into building it to be able to farm more behind !

[lilac estuary]

The raft is really slow, but still a bit faster I think. The main benefit is that you don't need to fear running out of stamina and drowning. Crossing wide rivers -> build a raft, don't worry 🙂

(but don't sail in the night is a good tip. When coming ashore, you might come accross more difficult mobs if sailing in the night)

The karve is immensely useful for quite a long time in the beginning to mid game. It is nimble and easy to navigate with. Sea serpents will get easier to deal with once you get better in the game =). But do avoid nights! Sometimes you only need to get from place A to B, and I prefer to use the Karve. ||Only, if hauling lots of metals, you'll want|| ||the upgrade ship, which is || ||the longboat, for which you need|| ||iron||.

[lean hill]

This is my map i need to go in river to get acces to bllack forest so making a ship can be worth

[lilac estuary]

TBH, ||the longship is|| ||faster, but|| ||a bit more clumsy||, OTOH it has ||quite some more storage!||

[boreal cobalt]

wait which river do you want to cross?

[lean hill]

botom one to go on right side of my map

[boreal cobalt]

you may be able to swim through with stamina food, no?

[lean hill]

i need to go on the right of all the whit simbol on middle so if i go in thez revier whit a ship it's faster no?

• more loot on board

[boreal cobalt]

you could

[lilac estuary]

In the very beginning, my strategy is:

• Find the limits of the meadows. (it should be bordered by sea or black forest)
• Build huts where it seems there are large areas of black forest (in the meadow, for a safe respawn point)
• Get the minimum set of resources form black forest to start upgrading your gear
• Once upgraded, it's easier to survive in black forest and explore 🙂

From that maps, it looks like you should be able to get to the "COPPER MINE" by foot. Possibly you could find black forests in the north, it seems unexplored?

[lean hill]

it is at 4 min sail Xd

[boreal cobalt]

honestly bronze armor is useless and you should go for the troll one

[lean hill]

nah

[boreal cobalt]

it slows you down and is expensive

[lilac estuary]

I agree! The bronze will slow you down.

[lean hill]

bronze to larp the british style

[boreal cobalt]

also with a full troll set you get more sneak and I guess enemies won't aggro from as far away as before

[lilac estuary]

I don't judge people who like the bronze, though. Sometimes trolls seem to be ... hiding, so that I can't get their hide 😉

[willow raft]

Then when you finally get enough after a long hard slog to find them all and slay them all, they are everywhere.

[boreal cobalt]

yep that happens but if you can it is way better

[lilac estuary]

I've played the game enough that I can just cheese the AI, even with basic leather armor, but if you are unexperienced with the game it might not be viable. Even if I don't find trolls -> I just explore the bf anyways with just my leather suit (the beginning one. I don't like hunting for deers so I skip both leather and bronze).

[boreal cobalt]

also now that I've started a new save I realized that atgeirs are really good with their secondary attack and higher block force than their respective bucklers
I'm basically cheesing wolves right now with the iron atgeir

[lilac estuary]

The movement patterns of all kinds of graydwarfs and trolls are very predictable. It is possible to survive with basically no armor at all.

(just killing one troll will get equal AP than a full leather set)

[marble roost]

Yeah Atgeirs are just brokenly good. Bows too

I have both banned from my world 😅

[timid echo]

how do i make a world backup?

[real nebula]

Instructions in the pins of this channel to do just that

[cosmic compass]

Can anybody tell me how and why do I die from just 2 wolves even though I have good amount of armor(51), good weapons and an iron buckler maxed out.. When I encountered the wolves, the first hit staggered me THROUGH the shield block and got knocked back, after that they were just taking turns hitting me and staggering every time I was unable to do anything, even tried to activate my Bonemass buff at the end but failed..

[buoyant peak]

You parry with a buckler, you don't block with it

[willow raft]

They attack quite fast and if you are unlucky that they take turns you might indeed get stun locked.
Also what Rianu said, you need to time your block with a buckler so that you block right as they attack so they get staggered.
If you want to simply block got for a greatshield or how those are called.

[subtle parrot]

I prefer the iron banded shield over the buckler, but the tower shield has more block armor i believe

[cosmic compass]

Well it's what I thought, got unlucky that they were attacking one after another and I got locked in stun

and now I gotta run for my stuff 😄

so what if I get an event while I don't have my stuff(armor and etc)

[subtle parrot]

Run around and try not to die and wait out the event

[cosmic compass]

what if I log out?

[willow raft]

Depending on the event get somewhere high and wait it out.

[cosmic compass]

I am at the base still

[willow raft]

Your tombstone will still be where it is, don't know what would happen with an ongoing event if you log out.

[cosmic compass]

well ****** wolves are still there and died again during the attempt

[subtle parrot]

Either way the events aren't that long and as long as you're not just standing in your base then the mobs usually will focus on you and won't mindlessly destroy your base. So if you just run around outside your base, and try not to die (even if you do die it'll be ok). Once the event is over you can go hide and then they'll leave you alone.

[cosmic compass]

its a bad thing that can't just grab my stuff because I have the belt and a dragon egg in them..

equiped my bronze gear and will try with bonemass buff now

[subtle parrot]

Yeh that's definitely an annoyance when that happens. If you have some extra materials to craft some backup armor and gear.. well bronze is gonna be tough still but with bonemass active it might be ok

[cosmic compass]

Did it with Bonemass buff and a bronze sword

[quick fiber]

guys

will more draugr spawn if i walk away from the spawner despite 2 of the spawned from the body pile draugr are trapped practically next to it?

[lean hill]

does the copper spear is the same as the flint one? more like a javelin?

[willow raft]

They have a max amount of spawns per spawner, I think its 3 so if you have 3 draugr trapped there shouldn't be anymore spawns.

[gilded saddle]

can bee hives be stacked close to each other or what distence needs to be bewteen them?

[jade tusk]

I`m trying out AMD Fluid Frames option and it does pump fake frames well in-game, smooths down things albeit frame time increased, its ok. Issue I have is Free-sync wont work nor fps limiter in-game, and I cant have v-sync On with it. Now its to much fps. Just putting this out, might just be my Pc.

[raw dagger]

Hardcore

[raw dagger]

Not bad if you fight only one or two mobs

[raw dagger]

What if you want to mine some silver in a safe way

[marble roost]

Hardcore mountain isn't much different from regular tbh. Just make sure you don't die, because losing all your gear and all your skills is rough

On hardcore you could use any weapon you like or just parry wolves, but I still prefer ranged

Ranged only really becomes a necessity on Very Hard because mobs do double damage so they'll oneshot you and break your parry

[marble roost]

Keep an eye out for approaching enemies, or if you really want build a little wall around the silver deposit

[naive mason]

Hello, does the cryptes respawn or am i supposed to search for new one?

[fathom badge]

Search for new ones. None of the dungeons respawn, except some of them in the Mistlands, and that's just the enemies in them and not the primary resources.

[naive mason]

uh, i'm so sad, i search for the first dungeon for like 6h

[subtle parrot]

I think beehives can be pretty close to one another, but not too close to walls

[fathom badge]

Yeah, the swamps can be very feast or famine 😦 I hope at least you found some turnip seeds while doing all that?

[naive mason]

only one xd

[fathom badge]

Big swathes of swamps are best bets for crypts, the slim bands of swamps that you find sometimes very rarely have crypts.

[fathom badge]

That's all you need 😉 Just replant them all to seeds until you're rolling.

[trail acorn]

😯

[fathom badge]

I have found turnip seeds I've ran past literally 10 times in this game. They can hide 😛

[subtle parrot]

I just hate going through the black forest and seeing fireflies and thinking they might be some thistle lol

[fathom badge]

Thistle respawns just like mushrooms and berries, just mark it on your map when you find a good cache and return there if you need it.

[subtle parrot]

Oh for sure lol but when I'm going around looking for it initially on a fresh playthrough, I'll occasionally see some fireflies behind some bushes and run over to check only to find fireflies instead of thistle lol

[gilded saddle]

yeah figured out that i had to back my walls off, but can stack them almost on top of each other ❤️

[pliant path]

What do I do after the swamps? (I'm maxed out on iron gear)

[fathom badge]

Have you made a fermenter, seen what kinds of potions you can make in it? The mountains should be more accessible if you have done so.

[pliant path]

Thanks

[fathom badge]

Take your new wishbone with as well

[fallen vigil]

If I made my world now will I still get the new stuff with the ashlands update? Haven't explored them yet

[marble roost]

Yes

[fallen vigil]

cool, thanks

[native onyx]

Hi guys, I have a question: I have recently started Ashlands biome and I noticed that valkyries and asksvines deal damage to other mobs. Is it a bug or some kind of feature?

[lilac coyote]

Please ask in the PTB channels.

[hollow trench]

guys, anybody know how to make greydwarf nest active in spawning the mobs even though im not around?

[lilac coyote]

Rewrite the game?

[buoyant peak]

Or maybe a mod

Although I'm sure performance would hate that one simple trick

[pliant path]

I beat moder in 2 attempts

What biome is next? I seen a few plains biomes, should I go there?

[lilac coyote]

Yep, Plains is after Mountains.

[pliant path]

Thanks

[lilac coyote]

Don't forget to build what Moder unlocks.

[pliant path]

I built the station and windmill

I need more stone

[elfin goblet]

guys which one is for ashlands update

[lilac coyote]

Neither of them.

[elfin goblet]

🙂

okey thanks

[shy canopy]

Hi, is there an option / an item in the game to desactivate rain and/or monster damages on your builds?

[lilac coyote]

No, not without mods.

[shy canopy]

Ok, thank you for your answer ☺️

[fathom badge]

Roofs protect from rain damage, and if you place wood pieces directly on stone (I think they need to be over 50% in contact?) they won't take weather damage. Angled beams don't, either. With more techniques coming with the Ashlands 😉

[fringe sundial]

There is devcommands to change the weather. Same for killing enemies within a large area. Not exactly what you are asking, but closest thing available in vanilla other than staying in the confines of making sure a roof is over your builds.

[shy canopy]

I didn't know for stone, thank you

[fathom badge]

Yeah. Like, if you build a stone walk and then put wood flooring on top of it the wood won't weather, I believe.

[shy canopy]

They are not in the list I can see on the chatbox, where can I find them just in case?

[lilac coyote]

[shy canopy]

I'll try, I'll make a little test area it's always raining in my world like every 2 or 3 days

[shy canopy]

thank you

[fringe sundial]

They are "cheats" built into the game you have to activate. The wiki Derek posted will help.

[topaz spruce]

Can anyone help w/ mod install? Newish player coming back, followed an older youtube video and mods don't appear to be working

Installed bepinex and dropped the dll viles into plugins

[true steeple]

#mods-issues or #mods-discussion would be a better place to ask

[topaz spruce]

ty

[compact heath]

this is absolutely correct

[keen vine]

okay so how do you navigate the ocean without a map?

I don't think it would be very practical to leave a bread crumb trail in the form of karves.

and I can't see how you would build out there

[true steeple]

I’ve heard of people following yggdrasil branches with no map.

[keen vine]

oh that's super interesting

[marble roost]

I’ve gotten lost so many times on no map and used Yggdrasil to get back home. It’s not super accurate, but it will point you in the right direction until you start recognizing things

Just take note or a screenshot of how Yggdrasil looks from your base, and then you can navigate back there

[livid wasp]

What gear is needed for the first boss?
I jus want my pickaxe already

[halcyon crag]

||finewood bow|| makes it kinda trivial with any gear

otherwise leather should be enough with 3 food types

[marble roost]

Some leather armor and a bow or flint knife/spear

Make sure to eat 3 foods, preferably 2 meats and something stamina heavy

[subtle parrot]

Fire arrows

[coral lintel]

gotten stuck with a seeker dungeon that is simply just too full of dudes, is the ooze bomb gonna do anything to these guys?

[fringe sundial]

ooze or bile works great

[coral lintel]

alright sweet, ty!

[plush knot]

2H Club is goated in dungeons
Use Iron Sledge to great effect

[compact heath]

Crude bow for ranged maybe flint knife is good too for melee, eat deer meat cooked and I went with honey and raspberries for my other foods. If you want more health you could use boar meet instead of raspberries. Eikthyr is easy. Be rested and sleep before summoning him, bring the 2 deer trophies with you

[plush knot]

you just need enough stone and wood to make like 15 campfires

put the campfire under it until it breaks

[lilac coyote]

15 campfires O_o

[compact heath]

That is also a valid cheese option was going to mention that next for some delicious cheese

Also works very well for elder

[plush knot]

i did that for a troll in a cave too, just ran straight into black forest for fast troll armor

[compact heath]

Bronze atgeir is goat for trolls

[plush knot]

yeah true but you dont get access to that immediately do you

like right out of spawn

[compact heath]

True, even crude bow works well if you learn troll behaviour

One play through I went and got stuff for campfires straight away and killed Eikthyr in mere minutes as soon as i had second trophy

[marble roost]

I'm so happy I downgraded my difficulty from v hard. Used to be scared of trolls only taking them down with bows, but now I actually engage them in melee combat while in meadows gear and they're really not scary at all

[turbid mantle]

Punching them on hard is fun but on v hard not so much

At least on hard when I mess up I still have 20 health left

[turbid mantle]

This run I punched some deer then went and punched eikthyr, the fight took like 20 minutes though since he runs away constantly

[compact heath]

Doing things slightly differently in this game is so fun. Always love to do another play through. In current newest play I found 12 bees before I even killed Eikthyr. Normally never had bee luck before. I also had my first raid about 20 seconds after I made a moat on my Black Forest build site haha.

[turbid mantle]

I love playing with max raids

Gimme raid every 13 minutes pls

[compact heath]

I think its 66% every 13.8 mins on max

normal raids feels good to me, and on occasion I build island bases to get even more around it haha. 14ish minutes at that high chance seems insane to me, but I'm happy world modifiers exist for people to change the game up to what they want

[marble roost]

the middle between normal and max raids feels good to me

[opal obsidian]

Just wondering if someone can help me, I went to go play the new beta test version that came out, I’m fairly new to the game and have never done that before, it had told me to backup my data before doing so, and that is what I did but didn’t do it the way it was said to do in here because I didn’t realize there was a method in here until after (my fault I know), I just pressed the “backup world” folder or wtv it’s called and saved the folder to my desktop, and after I was done trying it out I went back to the current full release version and only one of my characters was there, the one I exited out of the beta version with, so I went back into the beta version and my characters were there, any help on getting my characters back to the current full release version??

[compact heath]

if you don't have backups of those you will only get them back after Ashlands releases to live version, its not backwards compatible unfortunately

[opal obsidian]

Okay, but when I go into manage saves I can see their files but I can’t actually use them?

[opal obsidian]

In the full release

[fringe sundial]

if you don't mind starting from scratch, you can back out of the beta (PTB) and start a new world. that should give you the original game (pre ashlands beta).

[compact heath]

anything used in PTB is not backwards compatible to live version, once Ashlands hits live you'll get it all back the worlds and characters automatically (the only other way is restoring backups from before world or char being used in PTB, if you don't have those backups you don't have that option)

[fringe sundial]

and this is why I created a "ashlands beta" world and character ...because I am to lazy to make backups and possibly loose all my old stuff

[compact heath]

I used one world and char exclusively for testing but then world hopped and did lots of other things, I make a new backup almost every second day

[opal obsidian]

Oh okay, so I can just play this version till Ashlands is live?

That’s not too bad if that’s the case

[compact heath]

which version the current one or ptb?

[opal obsidian]

PTB

[halcyon crag]

yes

[opal obsidian]

Oh alright, that’s fine then I thought I messed something up haha, thanks everyone

[compact heath]

you can keep playing that and it will turn into live when its released yes

thats what I plan to do as well, I do make backups just in case something catastrophic happens but its very unlikely

and once Ashlands releases you can change your game to betas: none and will be on live and everything will keep in terms of progress from what you did when playing PTB (most likely)

[halcyon crag]

yup

[opal obsidian]

Read my mind, was literally about to ask that, thank you

[opal obsidian]

Meant to reply to this

[compact heath]

all g

thats 100% how it went with Mistlands PTB as well which I played extensively

[halcyon crag]

that's how every update with testing has gone before, so like Leng says, barring some freak incident that's what will happen

[median crystal]

Do anyone know how to optimize your world and clear all the stuff that lying on the ground after mob killing and other trash?

[halcyon crag]

using commands or not?

[median crystal]

not

[halcyon crag]

with commands in debugmode you click L and all excess items are removed, in vanilla you'd have to collect them manually and obliterate or throw them in the Ocean or out of range of base items for 2 game days

[brazen rampart]

has anyone else had issues where console commands dont work with mods installed? I want to use them but I dont want to remove any mods because some of them are crucial to my game

[median crystal]

hmm, would be a nice if devs add a button in main menu were u can click and clear all the stuff without entering the world

[fringe sundial]

I did not know the "L" command existed. I was just using "removedrops" every time.

[brazen rampart]

or it would be nice if we had an item like the obliterator that destroyed all ground items instead of having to place them inside of it

[halcyon crag]

also works but the single press option is my goto

just be careful tho coz a few times i've hit k instead and that kills everything in the area, including all yr tames

[median crystal]

u still need to move that items in radius of that construction meh
i just wanna optimize my world bcz its a day 430 and it becomes more laggy per each day i reach

[fringe sundial]

the game does "unload unused assets" every so often...don't think drops count though.

[brazen rampart]

pretty sure anything not in range of a workbench despawns after a few hours

[fringe sundial]

unless that falls under the "things in deep water despawn after several minutes"

[halcyon crag]

how water works is that items insta despawn when they sink below 2m in Ocean, or they just sit there otherwise for the 2 days it takes for them to despawn

[fringe sundial]

so the "dumpster ocean" does exist....

[lilac coyote]

Where did that just go?

[umbral wren]

Is it still “meta” to dig the earth around ore veins as opposed to mining the vein directly

[compact heath]

for silver 100%, copper if you find enough veins its quicker to just do the surface (except for "can't talk about ashlands spoilers in this channel, there might be a new meta soon")

[umbral wren]

Okay thank you!

[ebon temple]

Is it possible to host a dedicated ptb server? I’ve hosted a regular server but I can’t find a tutorial on how to host a dedicated ptb server anywhere

[novel dome]

Hello everyone, unfortunately I have the problem that when I join a multiplayer server I get a disconet shortly afterwards. Does anybody have the same Problem?

[ebon adder]

Did you open the multiplayer list and just open any server? That won't work. You got to find a dedicated server (easily here on discord) or the like.

[ebon adder]

Nah mate, unexpectedly the goat for trolls is the least expected weapon... A knife. Especially when you learn to roll properly and to accelerate your attacks which works only well with knives.

[compact heath]

Knife is also goat especially abyssal, but for single target. More than one I’d grab the atgeir

[mystic solar]

You don't even need to dodge if you get that backstab off properly - one shotting trolls with an abyssal razor ftw 😄

[ebon adder]

That's if you sneak lol, talking about actually facing them head on, especially when they raid your base

[marble roost]

Sneaking is underrated

[frail cave]

Hello guys, I am sure this has already been answered, but I was hoping someone could help me out with updating a server for the Ashlands ?, we last played on the server during mistlands and I was wondering if theres anything I have to do to make it ready/ updated for the ashlands ? thanks a ton !

[spare drift]

do my saves before the update get corrupted?

[marble roost]

No, should transfer just fine

[spare drift]

yeah how do i update the server

[marble roost]

If it's a dedicated server maybe the people in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 can help

[sterile tide]

hello guys how long until the update drops? i keep resetting steam but still no update

[pliant lodge]

mine's queued in steam already

[hot frost]

Does the normal version now have more stuff that the public test?

[compact heath]

no why would that be the case

[hot frost]

Bc the Ashlands update is finished

[compact heath]

yeah but Ashlands was on PTB for the last few weeks with several patches, and this is now on live too with another new patch with some fixes

[hot frost]

then you answered my question.. you should switch back to live now.

So it's "safe" to change my server from beta to live now.
