[fathom badge]

Yeah... you can use devcommands to cheat things in if you're desperate, and maybe just make a deal with yourself that you'll get rid of them later, but otherwise you're stuck figuring out how to make a rescue. If you can make yet another Drakkar you can turn the enemies passive and go collect it safely, but...

[boreal ridge]

there's so many things i didn't know you could do in the game...

the passive enemies sounds kinda good. just to go in and pick up stuff and go back and reset...

[fathom badge]

Yup. Before loading the world but after selecting your character you can hit the "World Modifiers" button, check into those to see what you can change.

[boreal ridge]

thank you very much!!!

[neon pumice]

Can u upgrade the Ashland weapons to level 3

[true steeple]

Yes, but not the gem weapons

Maybe not dyrnwyn either, but I havent made it yet

[neon pumice]

So no then

[true steeple]

Yes and no, it depends on the weapon

[neon pumice]

I mean basically all the weapons are gem weapons

If u don’t provide a gem can u go to three

[true steeple]

Yes

So you can purposely not sidegrade your weapon to get it to level 3 for extra durability

[neon pumice]

But once level three u can’t add a gem

[marble roost]

Can’t you? Thought you could but it would just waste materials by setting it back to a lvl 1 elemental weapon

That might have been changed though, that was in beta

[fathom badge]

I think that was fixed along with that whole weapon reset thing when you put it in the catapult. At least I think that was fixed.

[opal obsidian]

What weapons should I use for the mistlands and fighting the queen and armor

[loud linden]

The best prep for The Queen is inviting a friend to your game.

[marble roost]

Whatever you like, have fun with it! Just don't use a pierce weapon

If you want the fight to be easy, use magic

[opal obsidian]

Haha already did that

[opal obsidian]

So I should also wear the mage set? I maxed it out yesterday and haven’t used it yet

[restive tiger]

I have a server that is set to 'Player based raids' but I'm getting raids above my boss kill level. Any ideas why?

[hollow citrus]

What are the rules for breeding boar and wolves after H&H update?

[keen agate]

Is it possible to completely wipe out a black forest of ores (tin and copper) or do they spawn random places in the forest after time?

[restive tiger]

What info do you need exactly?
All tames take 30 minutes. Require 3+ food (1 per 10 minutes) I recommend 5 per tame.

[hollow citrus]

I had my pair of breeders 5 lengths above the ground, does that still work?

[restive tiger]

They do not respawn

[hollow citrus]

They're tightly packed in a small room. Will they still eat and breed?

[restive tiger]

Lengths? I think 10 meters is minimum, I suggest 12

[hollow citrus]

I have them however high that worked before.

[restive tiger]

depending on the tame, I think boar is 6 per 10m, wolves 4 per 10m and lox 3 per 10m, but those numbers may have changed.

[keen agate]

Is there a solution then? because U can't tp with ores either, so do I really have to run for an hour to go back and fourth to different black forests?

[hollow citrus]

I'm talking about my breeding pair. They're in a box high above the ground.

[halcyon crag]

yes it should work

[restive tiger]

best is to build nearby or sail with it, my recent playthrough we set portals to casual since we've done this plenty of times

[halcyon crag]

what problem are you having?

[wheat perch]

world modifiers exist

[keen agate]

is that a mod or?

[halcyon crag]

they may need repositioning to get them eating if they've stopped

[wheat perch]

its in the world menu after char select

[restive tiger]

world modifiers are when you generate (or load) the server, and if you're admin you can use console to change settings

[keen agate]

fair enough, ty both

[wheat perch]

i play with tp everything

[ocean knot]

Hi! I have a problem, after last update when I am opening my valheim world the game is not responding.

[wheat perch]

have you tried a new world? also any mods installed?

[restive tiger]

running mods? launch options?

[ocean knot]

no mods, wdym launch options?

[ocean knot]

i tried

[subtle parrot]

You need to give it about 5-10 minutes without interruption

[restive tiger]

at what point does it "stop responding" during world generation? if you're clicking during that yeah it may cause crash

[ocean knot]

i was not clicking

[restive tiger]

at what point does it "stop responding"

[ocean knot]

when i am loading into the world

[lilac coyote]

Why are we overcomplicating things? They just need to be patient.

[restive tiger]

verify integrity and try again, during the world generation make sure you don't alt tab or click, be patient, go afk do w/e it'll work

[ocean knot]

ok

[hollow citrus]

They don't seem to want to eat in such a confined space anymore. This breeding pen worked for me before, but not anymore.

[warm cove]

animal rights activism added last update pal

[subtle parrot]

Have you tried a pony wall across the foot of the stairs? They might be too distracted with trying to get up the stairs

[hollow citrus]

That's what I had before, but nothing.

[subtle parrot]

Damn

[hollow citrus]

I've made about a hundred offspring with this setup before H&H, but I can't get them to eat anymore. What has changed?

[haughty plume]

they unionized and are now on a hunger strike

[dire hamlet]

has nests spawn time been reduced from 6 to 3 seconds??

[hollow citrus]

Does anybody have a working taming pen?

[fathom badge]

Hearth and Home changed how some of the feeding and breeding worked I believe, which is likely why. I don't remember the details. There are a few designs online that still work I believe, but I haven't ever really tried myself.

[hollow citrus]

What are the rules? If I know the rules I can build a new pen.

[gentle harbor]

do items ever despawn in the world?

[fathom badge]

Items dropped away from base structures (campfires, torches, etc.) will despawn after ~3 in-game days, or if they get tossed into the deep ocean

[hollow citrus]

do tames need to be on ground/earth to eat now?

[subtle parrot]

https://youtu.be/2T2aKnEMKd4?si=QzkCw8qVQx8m4eIC

@hollow citrus this may be more helpful

[hollow citrus]

I watched that. Mine is pretty much the same thing, but they just won't eat.

[boreal ridge]

the passive enemies was amazing. i have my stuff back and i can now try, try and try again haha! thank you! ❤️

[fathom badge]

The location of the food is a bit more important now I think.

[hollow citrus]

I've made the food higher, lower, in front, in back, to the sides. I can't seem to make them eat.

[light cedar]

Currently building a Dock / Harbour need someones advice on how to best possibly fill this in Just got Bronze items So dont have everything yet

[steel comet]

got a question regarding exp gain on bows, does it matter about how long the draw is or how much damage dealt in terms of exp gained? or should I just shoot as many things for as many hits as possible?

[grizzled smelt]

hello everyone, im running a server to play with my friends. I play the game through xbox game pass, how can I make myself an admin?

[fathom badge]

Like I said, I've never really had success or worked at it. Just doing it the "intended" way has been plenty for me.

[fathom badge]

Nope. Every hit on an enemy is the same amount of experience.

[steel comet]

even hits that do 0.5 damage?

if that's the case, then that will speed up things quickly then.

[fathom badge]

Damage has no relation to experience gain. Same exp whether you delete a greyling or tickle an abomination.

[steel comet]

using bonemass as a target dummy haha, thank you for the info.

[subtle parrot]

Plenty of builds in #building-screenshots and #screenshots you might could take inspiration from

[crimson osprey]

Is there a way to put your tamed askvin on 'passiv' or 'stay'?
I worked hard for a 2 star tame, the moment i jump off it just runs to every enemy getting itself killed by being overwhelmed.....

[buoyant peak]

Ride them to have better control of them

[crimson osprey]

Yeah i used it to reach a fortress on the other side of a lava lake

Just starts running around when you dismount... wish they had some more options like in ARK, non agressive, stay,...

[fathom badge]

Just like with all tames, it's best to keep a breeding set of your high-level ones in a safe area. Once you get some production going, then use the offspring for your adventures.

[rustic salmon]

Is there any trick to getting trapped askvin to eat?

I've tried everything I can think of, and it's staying in the corner of the pit trying to escape

[fathom badge]

They can't be alerted or excited about anything. I don't know if they get upset at fire like other tameables do, but once they're calm and not aware of your presence is when they'll eat.

[rustic salmon]

Been there, done that. Removed the fire nearby and it did nothing

Removed the nearby shield generator thinking that was the problem, and it did nothing

[fathom badge]

Is it near any other kind of anything it might aggro against?

[rough kiln]

This is what I googled

An Asksvin must be inside the active area (within 64 meters of the player), out of combat, and well-fed to become tamed. Players will know the process has begun when they see yellow hearts emanating from their Asksvin.

Asksvin taming progresses by one percent every 18 seconds, so it should take 30 minutes total as long as these conditions persist. They require feeding every ten minutes, which means they'll need at least three applicable food items (Smokepuffs, Fiddleheads, or Vineberries) to complete the process.

[rustic salmon]

Not that it can see. A Dverger fell in my other hole for trapping askvin, so not sure if that could be it

[rustic salmon]

Tried all that

But it wasn't eating before the Dverger fell in

[night sleet]

can someone tell me the trollstav item id so i can goof around with it ?

[fathom badge]

If the Dvergr was too close or the askavin was aware of it it could still cause that issue.

[rustic salmon]

Ok, I'll take care of the Dverger when I get back on

[night sleet]

??

[fathom badge]

You can autocomplete things in the console, it's likely got 'staff' in the name. But I don't know the actual name of it.

[night sleet]

i wanna spawn the flamtroll

[night sleet]

how

[subtle parrot]

If you're going to commands, just use nocost and make it for free

[rough kiln]

It should be StaffRedTroll

[fathom badge]

The tab button, and it gives you options as you type after spawn and you start typing the item names. Again... I don't have an encyclopedia of the item IDs myself.

[night sleet]

ty verymuch

[rough kiln]

npnp ^^

[subtle parrot]

Or just chop liver lol

[open crown]

i accidentally launched my Krom sword when using the catapault, and i cant seem to find it. Is it gone forever or am i blind?

[fathom badge]

It might be gone forever if it's been more than 3 in-game days, but it could have bounced in unpredictable ways when fired, too.

[fringe sundial]

If you don't mind using devcommands, you might be able to use the "find" command.

[keen agate]

is it possible to despawn all deathsquitoes or whatever those crap things are called, they 1 shot me and I'm just trying to get my my fawking loot. OHHH WOW, WHILE WRITING THIS ONE OF THOSE DEMONIC THINGS KILLED ME (I am not close to the plains biome, but their agro range is too far)

[fathom badge]

No, you can't just disable a single enemy. But if you wear a Root Harnesk they become nearly harmless.

[keen agate]

I mean, like just despawn them, not remove

[fathom badge]

You can use devcommands, but they're so common in the spawn table that they'll almost certainly be one of the first things to replace themselves when they disappear. If they fly through the cloud of an ooze bomb they'll die quite quickly, or a single arrow from any bow pretty much

[keen agate]

PLEASDE, WHICH DEV CODE IS IT

[subtle parrot]

Killall

[keen agate]

so /killall?

[fathom badge]

or killenemies

[subtle parrot]

It'll kill all the creatures within a radius of you. I think that's how it's done from the chat window? Idk I can't use that on xbox

[fathom badge]

No, you need the console enabled when you press F5, and then you need to set it into devcommands mode before it'll work. It's not just a simple chat command.

[subtle parrot]

Ah ok cool

[keen agate]

[fathom badge]

You can do it in xbox too, it's just a different process 😉

[subtle parrot]

Yeh i just bring up the console it's easier lol

[fathom badge]

For most commands it's the only way. You can do a few admin things from chat, but most of the item spawning and these more "cheat" commands we're talking about have to be done from the actual console IIRC.

[subtle parrot]

Makes sense

[keen agate]

how???/ nothing happens when I press f5?

[fathom badge]

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

Again... you're doing a much more complicated, cheat-adjacent way of dealing with your issue and deathsquitos will also likely be very soon to respawn. The best solution to what you really want is to just wear a root harnesk with good food.

[keen agate]

alright, ty, either way, I haven't really gotten any root stuff yet, so I just put on my troll set and used sneak, so I finally got my stuff

[fathom badge]

Oh good. Yeah... stay out of the Plains until you've at least conquered the Swamps 😉

[keen agate]

that's the problem.... I have a swamp that is surrounded my snow mountains and plain

[subtle parrot]

Tough call lol but I'd find a new spot

[uncut arch]

Has anyone ran into the issue where they go to Hildir's marker on the map and the dungeon is no where in the entire biome?

[fathom badge]

That can happen when you got the markers before the update, and then went to the location afterwards. You need to go back to her and check her map table again, undiscovered world locations often(always?) change when a major world generation update happens.

Same with boss altars... if you have found any vegevisirs without visiting the altar, go back and look at the vegevisir again

[distant charm]

I have ALOT of silver, whats worth making/upgrading got silver armor so far. and set aside 30 for the final atgir in mistlands and the whisplight

[uncut arch]

Understood, this world is fairly new (three weeks before Ashlands release). I will resync the maps with Hildir! Thanks!

[eternal pecan]

Does wood rots in water ?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[lime fractal]

do you ever get controll of the fire troll if you level up the trollstov

[subtle parrot]

No

[eternal pecan]

Thanks

[subtle parrot]

Silver sword is nice, but not necessary. Idr if mistwalker uses silver, but it's the mistlands sword. Really good sword.

[vernal knot]

Help?

[vapid mulch]

I found Yagluth's vegvisir a few weeks back, before the ashlands update. I just now went to the location and Yagluth's alter isn't there. Anyone know if the alter can spawn much further away from where the location actually indicates or what? I haven't had that issue with any other boss.

[subtle parrot]

@vapid mulch

[subtle parrot]

Needs a compatible gpu

[vapid mulch]

Ahh ok, thanks

[lavish helm]

why it is not falling down?

there is like at least 1m space from every possible angle

[buoyant wren]

I'm just getting into swamps, should I skip iron armor and just craft & upgrade the root set? I've heard of people using the chest all the way into Mistlands, are resistances really worth the huge hit to armor?

[subtle parrot]

Needs at least 2 iirc maybe a little more

Try chopping that lowest piece of jaw

[subtle parrot]

A lot of enemies from plains and mists have pierce damage and the root chest piece gives pierce resistance and is very helpful. It's not too good for mountains, and personally I prefer more armor in the swamps than less. But the root chest will be very helpful against the draugr archers you'll encounter in the swamps. Those guys hurt.

[buoyant wren]

Thank you! Is it worth using the chest piece in Mistlands? I have some playtime there on an older save & remember the enemies doing a lot of pierce damage. I'm just not sure on the math if the pierce resistance is worth the loss in upgraded armor from the Mistlands set.

[subtle parrot]

I'm not too sure on that either tbh, but I didn't use it in the mists. The padded armor was what i took in there. And it did well enough for me i didn't bother changing until i got carapace.

[buoyant wren]

Good to know! Thanks for the info! ☺️

[fathom badge]

The math is definitely in the favor of the root harnesk for piercing damage (seekers and ticks specifically). It cuts the damage in half before calculating in any armor values, so as long as you have more than 50% of the total armor you would otherwise have it is a net win. Just bring with fire resist meads for the gjall since resistances override weaknesses 😉

[buoyant wren]

Bless you. Thank you very much!

[ocean robin]

My vines dont grow fruits, someone can explain? or fix it?

[uncut mirage]

they do...its just very slow and not very productive. Needs a massive buff
right its better setup a portal in Ashlands near a ruin and just collect as they respawn.
1000% more effective until they fix it

[ocean robin]

thx so much

[still solar]

why? my friend takes DC several times until he can play normally

[fathom badge]

Valheim uses UDP packets for communication, so it's quite possible that he's getting lots of dropped packets or something between him and the server. It could be anywhere in the network chain between him and the host.

[still solar]

and how could this be resolved?

[fathom badge]

Unfortunately it's really hard to narrow down. How is the game configured, are you hosting and inviting your friend? What happens if they host and invite you, same thing?

[chrome lantern]

has eitr-weave had its regen removed? I dont see regen listed on the armor at all nor the embla gear

[still solar]

I am hosting

[fathom badge]

The packets could be being dropped anywhere along the path, and since it's UDP instead of TCP it can be more sensitive to that kind of thing, get jitters and connection drops.

[fathom badge]

Not that I'm aware of. You're not running any mods or anything, right?

[chrome lantern]

I was, just loaded vanilla and it's showing again so no mods for a few days 😄

[fathom badge]

It could still be leftover stuff... is it loading the mod manager or anything? There's a pinned post in this channel that shows how to make sure the mods are fully removed.

[chrome lantern]

just loaded from steam rather than via mod manager, vanilla the stats are showing again as expected, so will run without until i see some updates.
I'd hazard a guess at betterUI but not too fussed about narrowing it down atm

[halcyon crag]

restarting PC is a good fix, otherwise checking internet speeds can reveal problems they might need to contact their ISP about (sometimes them refreshing yr internet their end can clear up this sort of thing)

[fathom badge]

For future reference, if you're having issues with modded version you will get more informed help in #mods-issues , this channel is for the unmodded, base version of the game

[ocean robin]

After defeating queen in mistlands she spawns after how many time?

[fathom badge]

She only respawns if you sacrifice 3 seeker soldier trophies. Or you can go find one of her other altars.

[ocean robin]

Oh nice tip, thx

[warm viper]

Anyone know if staff of frost would be best for ashlands??

[fathom badge]

It's reasonable. It's pretty good for the approach, the enemies in the water and such. The fireball staff is still one of the best choices, like it is everywhere else.

[warm viper]

Ahh okay wasn’t sure if the enemies in Ashland’s would be immune to fire damage, so I thought frost staff would work better

[fathom badge]

Most people say that a mixed loadout is the best way to approach, magic but also be ready with some melee backups like the mistwalker or himmnafl because you'll slam through your eitr super quickly.

[warm viper]

Ahh okay that makes sense. Do you think range is obsolete in ashlands?

Like would you be more effective with range as opposed to mage/ melee

[fathom badge]

Almost everything resist piercing, so just basic arrows and such are, but elemental damage is still pretty awesome.

[warm viper]

So Drauger Fang with Ice arrows?! 🤗🤣

[subtle parrot]

Some range is good for approaching forts

[subtle parrot]

Or spinesnap

[warm viper]

Spinesnap better?

[subtle parrot]

It does a bit more damage, I like it mostly for it's looks, either will work well enough though

[keen nacelle]

What is the highest damage per stamina bow?

[visual radish]

You could easily just look at the stats for each one to figure that out. All of the info needed should be on the wiki, or you can make a throw away world and use commands to obtain them all easily to check.

[fringe sundial]

If you discount speed of the shot, I would guess crossbows. They cost something like 3-5 stamina per bolt but the loading animation takes several seconds, unlike common bows.

It's a traid off. Big damage and small stamina usage in exchange for long loading/crappy pds.

[burnt pond]

cant find the howling caverns, im doing the quest to get the chests and ive gotten the smouldering one and sealed tower one but the areas where she marked the howling caverns are not there. they appear on the map as a ? but when im around it or right on top of it the cavern just isnt there can someone tell me why?

[visual radish]

That can happen if you update the game before you've visited the location. Try going to hilder and have the locations revealed again.

[tight hazel]

Hello, I have a dedicated Server from GTX Gaming, we are seven players and during invasions (Forest is moving) we suffer desync problems such as enemies starting to suddenly fly and other problems, what can be done to solve or prevent this?

[arctic steppe]

Hello, please help, when I launch the game, my internet crashes after a couple of minutes, and I have to restart the wifi-router

[burnt pond]

thanks for the info but it didnt fix the problem

i checked 2 new areas and howling caverns still dont appear

the new update caused probably caused it

[severe bloom]

i killed the elder but he did not gave me the key... Why ?

[fathom badge]

It probably dropped, but it can sometimes fall under a bush or something where it's hard to see. Did you get his trophy?

[slender knot]

I was just playing on server. made a new profile to update mods and now i get "Unable to locate valheim dedicated server installation directory

[severe bloom]

yes

:/
i think i'll have to make it again

[fathom badge]

Ask in #mods-issues for help with modded Valheim

[south grove]

best weapon to use vs yagluth? is it the procupine/blackmetal sword or do i use frostner/silver sword instead?
ive never beaten him so any help is appreciated

[compact heath]

Best #1 is silver sword level 4, nothing beats it for Yagluth

frostner and bm sword are okay but nowhere near as good as silver sword

[compact heath]

If you have revealed a location for any boss or a hildir dungeon location before the Ashlands update, there is a very high chance the location will not have the boss or the dungeon anymore once your world is updated. You have to revisit a vegvisir or hildir to get new and updated locations for those. Hope this helps.

[ancient wren]

We've checked two Howling Cavern markers and found nothing. Can someone please tell me if they're guaranteed?

If anyone can help me find one, I'd appreciate it. I'm getting very frustrated

[charred tide]

is there any (among the community) agreed to armor values for entering each new biome
I am currently fine with 39 armor coming into the plains
but someone must've calculated the 50% of incoming hit break points for most biomes somewhere already right?

[fathom badge]

Go back to Hildir and read her map again. If you read her map before the update those locations you haven't gone to discover have changed, and you need to find the new places they exist.

[ancient wren]

Thanks for the answer! I actually found this out on my own as well, but glad to have confirmation for the reason.

[fathom badge]

No problem. It also applies to boss altars that you might have found the vegvisir for but not actually gone to the altar, so beware of that as well

[left stag]

Is it possible to spawn in a river/water with dev commands?

[compact heath]

If you have revealed a location for any boss or a hildir dungeon location before the Ashlands update, there is a very high chance the location will not have the boss or the dungeon anymore once your world is updated. You have to revisit a vegvisir or hildir to get new and updated locations for those. Hope this helps.

[compact heath]

as far as I know this is not possible

[ornate brook]

If you can dig deep enough to hit water you could just create an artificial river i guess

[compact heath]

if you can yes, there is a dig limit. And then to make it look like you can use the grass feature on the cultivator

[compact heath]

Maybe, but I have never seen this calculation so far in my Valheim info journey, maybe it hasn't been done or I just didn't stumble upon it

[left stag]

Yeah, I was trying to build a dueling arena with some light water features but the location makes it just look like a giant hole with water at the bottom lol

[marble latch]

Hi guys, I click my main bow ||(Storm Fang)|| on the ||catapult|| by mistake and it got disappeared completely, Is there any way to take the bow back or the resource for making a new one? I tried the devcommands for bow and resources but sadly it's not working.

[terse cedar]

beat the first boss and kinda want to rebuilt/redesign our makeshift base into something that makes more sense before upgrading workbench to lvl 4, is it worth it at this point? (or would that be a complete waste of time)

[charred tide]

on the wiki it says here that fenris chest armor has frost res https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fenris_Set
and here that is doesn't https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Armor
which one's the case? I'm not gonna be able to check that soon

[midnight parcel]

In regards to dyrnwyn it says on the wiki lord reto drops all three fragments but a whole host of youtube videos are saying they are in different spots and the vegvisir in putrid caves will reveal the location of the two fragments which is it

[atomic dock]

You’ll be travelling a lot, so perhaps not
But you’ll be getting a portal network real soon, so why not
But the most important resource type in all the next biomes ( ||metals|| ) can’t go through portals, so plan accordingly

[quartz cairn]

Lord Reto ||drops one part of 3, the others can be found on altars (unveilable locations)||

[atomic dock]

all Mountains chest piece should have frost resist iirc

[terse cedar]

||ores||?

[atomic dock]

and ||ingots|| yes
I generally setup several central bases throughout the game and setup processing outposts in the inbetween biomes, so that’s one way you could go about doing it?
Typically my bases are in Meadows, somewhere safe near Mountains, and final biomes (haven’t reached Ashlands though)

[charred tide]

I played through the game like 5 times (from scratch every update)
And I ended up going with one central crafting base closeish to the middle of the map (standing stones) and used portals and boats for hauling loads
Definitely works and I enjoy the long boat trips anyway

[atomic dock]

this is definitely a very fun way to play the game
do keep in mind that you could be looking at 20-30 mins resource hauling boat trips by endgame, but that’s super fun with friends anyway

[terse cedar]

How's this spot? It's where we made our little starter spot because it was the only place we could find that was clear and relatively flat. After exploring around a bit, that still seems to be the case lol. But, it's not far from black forest (west and nw) and mountain (south) biomes

[charred tide]

One thing though
Build in proximity to the ocean
Using a cart to haul stuff is possible but unwieldy, you'll have to make an actual road if you wanna go for that

I do wish you could use riding or something like that with carts
Would be lovely

[atomic dock]

100%, making ship docks and coastside processing plants are essential to the seafaring playstyle

[terse cedar]

u mean build right on the coast?

[charred tide]

In line of sight at least

That's my preference though
Further can be fine, just be ready to walk to and fro a boat a few times

[atomic dock]

honestly with a hoe, anywhere could be flat enough for you to build
just be mindful about how much you want to use boats, and whether the sea is easily accessible from your base (or if you wanna make road networks)

[terse cedar]

I am looking forward to sailing away

[atomic dock]

even with my many bases, they’re all always next to the coast because I always have to get ready to haul everything away to the next biomes

[terse cedar]

can you clear out trees and not have them grow back?

[atomic dock]

trees don’t grow back? unless you plant saplings

iirc only resources that you can pick up like flowers and stone/branches respawn

[terse cedar]

okay

okay ima try to find some places near the coast, thanks guys this was tremendously helpful

[charred tide]

I have a question on my own
When mistlands came out, I just ignored all ||magic|| (touched it once and my warrior muscles shrivelled so I dropped it promptly)
Wanna give it a shot this time around, do I go for the full armor+||eitr food|| or is going for 60 armor, slotting maybe one armor piece in for the regen and 1health 1stamina ||1eitr/|| food distribution the way
I just kinda worry that it will be not worth the full scale investment and loss of tankiness

[fringe lynx]

hay i have a problem, while panicing in the ashlands i somehow zoomed out my minimap and i have no idea how i did it, im on xbox, does anyone have any idea how to reverse it

[willow raft]

Depends on your playstyle, the mage playstyle is more of a hit and run playstyle since you don't use stamina to fight or block you should be able to avoid most hits.

||The staff of protection gives you a bubble that stops 200-700 damage depending on blood magic level, which stays for 60-240 seconds depending on quality.
As long as you have a bubble you can't get damaged, even if the barrier only has 1 life.
Recasting should only be done when it breaks as it doesn't reset the damage but only extends its duration.
While the bubble is around you any parry will work, no matter what (bar exceptions like bosses).

The dead raiser raises 1-4 skeletons depending on quality to fight for you and they get better the higher your blood magic is.
They can also be protected by the staff of protection bubble.
They are good as meatshield and as a distraction, you don't really use them as a fighting force unless you go back to previous biomes.
So with them around you will even have a harder time to get hit.

The staff of embers does good damage the higher your elemental magic skill the higher the damage and the lower the eitr cost will be.
It does AoE dmg so good for groups.

Staff of frost slows down enemies but the aiming and dmg is worse than the SoE.

Personally I go full glass cannon most of the time.
2 eitr and 1 stamina food, use your surroundings and keep moving, don't let enemies get close if they do get close make sure to bubble (keep 60 eitr in reserve) stagger them and get away or kill them.
For a bit more survivability you can go with 2 eitr and 1 health food.||

Any more questions just ask.

[willow raft]

Left trigger up or down? I'm not sure since I don't have an xbox, just remembering what I've read before, I might be misquoting though.

[fringe lynx]

left trigger d-pad is the camrea zoom not the minimap

[willow raft]

Just left trigger and right trigger?

[terse cedar]

how's this?

black forest immediately to the right

[willow raft]

Looks like a good spot, flatten it with a hoe, raise the ground a bit and maybe add earthen walls so it is protected, make a dock so you can easily get in your boat but the mobs can't get into your base from the water side.

[summer scaffold]

How on earth am i supposed to get my stuff bacK???

[charred tide]

Damn thanks for the encyclopaedic advice, that's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for
Ill be to the moistlands in a few days and then maybe I'll pester you with more questions 😆

[quartz cairn]

• use ||basalt bombs to build temporary platforms||
• saddle ||tamed asksvin and ride safely over lava||
• ask someone to help

[willow raft]

Like how to easily farm eitr food.

[charred tide]

I'll find some pretty mountaintop to make a garden on this time
At least illl try

[sand nest]

why I have this blinking thing in my screen?

[green blaze]

I need immediate help with the flamental ore structures in my world. Everytime i jump onto them i get the falling/flying animation while im standing on it. I can move but i cannot jump or fight back. I cannot jump back on the basalt bombs and im stuck there until i die. I tested this with several flamental ore structures and had the same bug on all of them. I tried logging out while im stuck in the falling animation in hope it would fix the issue but when i log back on i spawn in lava and the flamental is gone. I cannot enjoy ashlands because i basically cannot mine the new ore. Please help

[finite sorrel]

Its a bug sorry

[quartz cairn]

means packet loss (connection disruption). you should immediately stop doing anything and disconnect, because client and server cannot sync anymore.

[gaunt cove]

Hello ppl, since the last update I am not able to create a character at all . When I check it out in the list it is shown as deleted. When I as to move it to the cloud eighter nothing happens or there comes a message telling me this ( pic 3 ) . I ain´t using mods or something. as well checked folder ( pic 4 ) nothings else in it as it should be . Could anyone help ? i installed and uninstalled 3 times, searched all drives that´s the only valheim path that is created

[gaunt cove]

My steam games are installed on D instead of C , other games are working completly fine

tried again after reinstalling and this happens :

if i try moving it to the cloud this comes up

as well checked the files but seems there is nothing wrong with the instalation

[dawn valley]

why i cant do command?

[willow raft]

Typed in devcommands?
spawn Cultivator should drop a cultivator close by.

[quartz cairn]

installed mods borked console entry

[rough kiln]

you likely have a mod that is breaking console

[dawn valley]

alright thank you

[rough kiln]

if you have your mod list we can try to tell you which one is it, but you'll likely need to turn them all off and then on one by one

[dawn valley]

here is my modlist

[rough kiln]

mmm you don't have ones that match my list, but I think it could be one of these:

• the dust ones at the end
• comfortable
• the particles one at the start
• the recycleitems one

if the error is still appearing after you disable them, then you'll need to go one by one unfortunately

[dawn valley]

alright thank you for the advice

[gaunt cove]

it seems without the steam cloud i can create a new char . but why not with the cloud ?

[gaunt cove]

somehow it seems when creating a new char while cloud save active in steam it doesn´t work and is listed as deleted eventho it shows it should be local restored

guess we need a bug fix for that

[mild copper]

Guys, just a quick question. I had just a portal to the Ashlands pre-generated update. will the portal stay there floating or sink in? and do I need to regen the explored area to have it updated? (it is a small area though)

[twin cloud]

How many Asksvin can be in a 16x16 area before they stop breeding?

[chrome sierra]

It still is there but will break when you render

[willow raft]

It might be floating with nothing there and might break when you do get there.

[mild copper]

hmm, So that means that the explored area will be auto updated, once is rendered ?

(I was searching for commands to update it)

[willow raft]

If it is old ashlands before update it will still be there but will change, won't be filled with new ashlands mobs and stuff though.

[arctic steppe]

Hello, please help, when I launch the game, my internet crashes after a couple of minutes, and I have to restart the wifi-router

[muted notch]

I am struggling to get servercharacters mod to work on my dedicated server, or it's not even loading at all...

I have a few mods that is working, just not this one...
Anyone have any guides or have some suggestions for what may be breaking this?

[willow raft]

#mods-issues Would be a better place to ask.
i don't know much about Valheim mods so I can only point you in the right direction where to get more specified help.

[last osprey]

afaik it's 5-6 asksvin within 10-12m or so, at least that's what i've observed breeding them. Haven't done any specific testing though.

[spiral crater]

Any idea why my solo game isn't loading?

[marble roost]

Does it say "not responding" or just taking really long?

[spiral crater]

Taking really long to load

[marble roost]

First time you load up a world since Ashlands update it can take 5+ minutes to load. It may also say Valheim stopped responding, but you just need to ignore it and let it load

[willow raft]

Like softsnail said it can take a while, best thing to do is start the game, go make some tea and a sandwich or a different snack then comeback to the game, so that you can't touch your pc which might make the process take even longer.

[spiral crater]

it finally loaded just took a few like yall said.

[naive flax]

One the map, it shows me water areas/oceans where there is none.

[willow raft]

Old world?

[naive flax]

nah, created it 2 days ago

[willow raft]

That is strange, it is known to happen with old worlds bu new ones should have a correct map.
Any mods?

[naive flax]

no, i dont play with mods

maybe i can start a new world, and see if the map works?

a screenshot if that helps

[willow raft]

Or restart the game and see if that fixes your current world.

[willow raft]

You should be drowning.

[naive flax]

yeah

i mean all the normal rivers etc. are signed on the map, but then that water texture on the map goes even beyond that

But you know any other fix?

[willow raft]

Besides restarting pc and game or starting a new world with the same seed and checking the same spot to see if it persists, no.
If it does persist maybe a bug report might be in order.

[gleaming lake]

I dont see the wiki pages on damage explaining where the world modifiers multipliers factor in to the damage calc. Can anyone show me the authoritative source?

[marble roost]

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

Very easy:
Player damage: 125%
Enemy damage: 50%
Enemy speed & size: 90%

Easy:
Player damage: 110%
Enemy damage: 75%

Very hard:
Player damage: 70%
Enemy damage: 200%
Enemy speed & size: 120%
Upgrade (+1 star?) chance: 40%

[gleaming lake]

Thanks, I agree that's the source on the amount the modifer changes. I'm wondering for damage calculations how this particular multiplicative effect factors in to the rest of the things relating to player taken damage. (and enemy taken damage I guess). Is the "enemy damage: 150%" from Hard the very first change? if a stone golem would usually hit for 100, is it going to be 150, and Then start taking into account resistance and block and stagger and armor etc?

[marble roost]

Should be yea. Just ups their base damage. Won't mean you'll always take exactly 50% extra compared to normal, as armor gets less efficient the more of the total damage it blocks and enemy attacks have slight variation in damage

Important to note that it's mobs and players damage that get adjusted, not health. Which means that it can be very useful to incite fights between mobs as they'll do 50% extra damage to oneanother as well, where you'd do 15% less damage to them

[hollow citrus]

Loxes can't path into a hole? I dug a hole for lox to fall into, but they just seem uncapable of going over the edge.

[marble roost]

Mobs can't path over/into sheer cliffs or holes

You'll have to get the lox to push each other in, build a wooden floor over the hole to get them to cross then break it to make them fall, or use a harpoon

[hollow citrus]

When did they change that? I've trapped lox and trolls into holes before.

[marble roost]

I dunno. I haven't tried trapping mobs in holes much so not sure when/if it changed, but there was one update that allowed mobs to more easily climb objects that weren't shear cliff walls, like the boulders in plains. Maybe they made mobs smart enough not to drop into holes they can't get out of either

[timid mountain]

Is there a new pickaxe?

[fringe sundial]

Not that I know of past blackmetal.

Unless you count the seige engines...

[raw juniper]

hello who do i make a glitch report to

[marble roost]

Not a new pickaxe no, but a few new alternate ways to mine stuff

[marble roost]

Good question. I'd say you can post it in #steam-bugs-discussion or #xbox-bugs-discussion
It might be known already though

[fathom badge]

Asking about it here is a good first step

[raw juniper]

yea its with the catapult and if you shoot anything thats over 1 item it makes a copy like if i shooot 50 i get 49 when the item is shot and go get it

[hollow citrus]

Ark did the same thing and it's irritationg. Old traps no longer work.

[raw juniper]

nahh it still work and all just dupes the item it shoots

[fathom badge]

Yeah, the catapult mechanics are odd. They've fixed some bugs with it, but it's still got some issues that they're aware of. It used to reset any upgraded weapons you loaded in and shot back to level 1.

[raw juniper]

ok thats good to know, so its a known glitch

[hollow kayak]

does anyone know why and recommend a fix for low FPS on server. i dont usnderstand why they so low

[raw juniper]

use vulkan

[ember prawn]

vulkan crashes the amd graphics drivers on my new system :/ any known fixes?

[loud linden]

Don't use Vulkan? I just read earlier comments. Nevermind me 😛

[ember prawn]

check if your graphics card stays above 90% usage when the fps drop low. graphics card usage above 90% is normal. if your graphics card is above 90% usage you can drop the graphics settings to increase your fps.

• you can check your graphics card usage with performance overlays of your graphics drivers. if you dont know how to enable those you can check your system load in performance tab of the task manager. keep in mind that valheim limits fps to 30 as you tab out!

if gpu usage drops below 90% when it lags it's usually a processor bottleneck (or something else you cant simply fix) and there arent a lot of ways to increase your fps despite upgrading your processor. decreasing the draw distance in your graphics settings usually helps a little bit to keep the fps above playable standards tho.

• like leksa said, starting valheim with vulkan instead of directx might help a little too.

[ember prawn]

you're good, you didnt misread any context.
i heavily prefer vulkan since it keeps the frametimes cleaner than directx, so i'd love it if there's a fix

[fathom badge]

Do you have any overclocking or anything on your system? XMP should be the only "overclocking" in the BIOS, let everything else run at stock clocks. Also do a factory reset of the drivers, turn off ALL driver features for Valheim, just the defaults.

[ember prawn]

just amd expo enabled, everything else running stock

[silver flicker]

How do i make a level 6 black forge? Am i just slow or missing something?

[late hawk]

its not possible i think

[silver flicker]

Oh? Noted it just said my weapons weren't maxed out so i thought there was another level

[ember prawn]

gonna check if anything's awry in my amd drivers' game settings, good idea! ty

[fathom badge]

Ok, perfect. Expo, XMP, same thing basically. A factory reset of the GPU drivers rarely hurts as well.

[fathom badge]

Mistlands weapons couldn't be upgraded past level 3 until the Ashlands content dropped. It's just how things tend to work in the game, can't max out anything until you get materials from the next biome.

[hollow kayak]

thank you, i appreciate it

[silver flicker]

Oh i didnt know that

[fathom badge]

Best place for asking about mods is #mods-discussion or #mods-issues , the main channels are for the base game

[severe kite]

thanks, sorry about that

[fathom badge]

They couldn't even get past level 2 until the patch just before the Ashlands 😉 Remember, the game is still in heavy development, there are definitely going to be some rough edges at places still.

[silver flicker]

No fair i was just confused

I like to max my gear so i was kinda just lost

[split vale]

Hello hello, I've been playing many years now. but feel like a potato

my stone oven wont light up?

i've tried destroying it, moving it inside/outside. Putting pies inside, nothing happens

[fathom badge]

Did you put wood in it? It also needs ventilation for the smoke

[subtle parrot]

Look at the very bottom of the cook opening to place wood inside

[eager grove]

What is the world modifier to enable the new 🔥 fire propogation?🔥 (For dedicated servers etc)

Edit: If anyone else comes looking, it is **-setkey fire **

valheim_server -nographics -batchmode -name "Name" -port 7777 -world "SEED" -password "password" -public 0 -setkey fire

[split vale]

You know what, let's all forget this was even mentioned....

[prime pier]

guyz i cant place floor its braking help plz

[ember prawn]

you can check the stability of neighboring building pieces by holding the hammer in your hand and looking at it
are they red?

did you make sure that the log poles there have contact to ground?

[halcyon crag]

working off yr corewood supports should be enough unless it's maxed out on stability, in which case you'll need copper/iron supports to add more

[ember prawn]

might need log poles right there, down to the ground. as far as i can tell there dont seem to be any other log poles beneath

[halcyon crag]

yeh they won't be providing full support without ground contact and an unbroken chain

[naive flax]

I tried on a new world and it still doesnt work

[charred tide]

I have been building gardens in the plains ||and been erecting a trench and dirt wall combo and it's been okay
Is there another obvious way to do it that is prettier and or more practical that I just missed?||

[ember prawn]

think i've found the culprit. with default settings the Tesselation Mode is set to "AMD optimized". setting it to "Use application settings" seems to run stable so far. it usually crashed within 10-15 minutes. thanks for the hint <3
gonna try a factory reset for the drivers if it crashes again tho

[subtle parrot]

You can layer the wall in stone wall pieces to make it look prettier

[halcyon crag]

not really, other than just building the wall/ditch right out away from yr build so it doesn't spoil the screenshots

[willow raft]

@lapis terrace you got an idea why the minimap and the terrain don't agree on water or land? New world, 2 times same seed.
3th time has been tried different seed, see below.

[halcyon crag]

and spawnproofing in-between

[willow raft]

You can dress your earthen wall in stone, stakewalls or wood to give it a better look.

[naive flax]

@willow raft i even started a new world. Tf is wrong with my game

[halcyon crag]

yes but why would you waste time and resources facing up ugly walls when you can just remove them from view more easily?

[willow raft]

Same seed or a different one?

[naive flax]

A different one

[willow raft]

Did you verify your game files trough steam?

[naive flax]

No, i will do that

[halcyon crag]

something isn't synced

[fathom badge]

Do you have any mods installed, or have you ever?

[distant charm]

ggood weapon for clearing crypts ASAP i am full silver armor

[naive flax]

Nah, i freshly installed the game 2 days ago, no mods

[fathom badge]

Never had them at any point? Just reinstalling doesn't clear them out. Might not hurt to double-check the pinned post to make sure the install folder is actually clean.

[naive flax]

Where is that pinned post?

[naive flax]

they are clean

[fathom badge]

#valheim-help message

[quartz cairn]

did you compare the seed result with the world generator website? it may indicate if your 'mini-map is wrong' or your world...

[subtle parrot]

Pretty much anything, you should be tough enough in silver gear, maybe frostner

[quartz cairn]

any other account using valheim on your machine?

[naive flax]

no

[idle phoenix]

does anybody have issues with loading a save from before the update

[subtle parrot]

Nope just have to give it time

[silk cairn]

It took a few minutes for mine to load but it eventually did fine. No issues so far besides that

[idle phoenix]

nvm maybe ur right

maybe i shouldnt tab out 3 seconds into the application not responding screen

[naive flax]

yeah, my files are clean

[subtle parrot]

Lol usually

[fathom badge]

Hmm. Interesting. And you still have that weird map offset and world issue?

[naive flax]

Thats the reason i came here

[fathom badge]

Yeah, fair enough. 99% of the time those issues are solved by the steps we've been going through. Never seen it persist like this. Anything unique or super custom about your PC or system setup that you know of?

[naive flax]

Nah just a plain PC with a graphics card, a cpu etc.

[naive flax]

The world is correct, just the minimap has no clue

[fathom badge]

Ojhhhhhh... ok. Have you gone and deleted the cache files for the minimaps?

[idle phoenix]

wait guys did they add any black forge improvements

i need to know whether i can finally max out my mistwalker

[fathom badge]

You can, with Ashlands upgrades

[naive flax]

Sorry for being incompetent, but where to i do that? Cant find the folder

[idle phoenix]

evil

[fathom badge]

No, that's totally fine. I thought we were diagnosing a world generation issue 😛 There's a pinned post in this channel I made that talks about backup locations, and that's also where the cache files are. You can safely delete any file ending with "Cache" in those folders, and that should hopefully fix it all.

[fathom badge]

It's pretty standard. Can't get bronze stuff or troll armor over level 3 until you get later biome materials, it's been that way through almost the whole game.

[naive flax]

No way, that actually worked! Thanks for the help!

[idle phoenix]

i will be a super evil wizard in valheim today

they should add general pickett and vvizard vveed to valheim

[distant charm]

do u destroy ur boat legit just wacking it?

[idle phoenix]

of course you do what you mean

[charred tide]

Thanks for the answers on the garden style questions :)

[fathom badge]

Please no memes or too much side chatter in this channel.

[fathom badge]

Yes. You can't use a workbench to deconstruct it. Best place to stand is right at the mast because that's where the materials will appear, just make sure you have inventory space and enough carry weight to hold it all.

[lapis terrace]

That's a old PTB issue.
You need to go to your world files and delete the cached map files

@willow raft Yes. PTB issue

[rough plume]

im still getting stuck in a falling animation when standing on flametal ores. wasn't this reported numerous times in PTB? it is very game breaking, imo. i almost fell to my death in lava cause u cant jump while in falling animation.

[prime pier]

ιτσ keeps i cant build the roof....

[fathom badge]

Yeah... with just plain wood you can't build too high. There are support limits with every material. You will need to raise the ground, or make the walls shorter, or maybe make some central pillars to better support the roof in the center so they have a shorter path to ground (blue) support pieces.

[willow raft]

Thanks for the reply it has been fixed. Thanks to a certain bred.

[prime pier]

i need core wood?

[fathom badge]

Core wood can help, but it still has limits as well.

[prime pier]

k

[fathom badge]

This video here might shed some light on it (it's a bit old, but it is still accurate and covers the basics in a short time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEqK4b2Tmq8&ab_channel=FrankTheTank

[dusty isle]

Am guessing these are pretty bad stats for someone who got hard carried to mistlands, isn't it?

[uncut mirage]

I wouldn't worry too much as long as you have good armor, food, weapons and potions

[fathom badge]

Which doesn't look to be the case based on that inventory...

[uncut mirage]

true...I'd stick to the dark forest and work you're way through the biomes

iron level 4? maybe work toward mountains actually

[subtle parrot]

Not necessarily, i built a decent sized 2-story with a central fireplace with normal wood beams and it holds just well enough

[fathom badge]

Looks like they've got mountain level wolf armor, but some bronze weapons and such. If friends are carrying, they're doing a terrible job of it 😉 They should outfit you better, and with better food too.

[dusty isle]

Ah well.

Lets just say, I think the host got tired of me asking to be coddled LMAO. There was a bit of... speedrunning and cheating involved to cheese plains and mountain boss

[fathom badge]

It's better than nothing 😉 But you should be getting some padded armor and blackmetal tier weapons at least, they should have an abundance of that stuff

[dusty isle]

they do ye

a shame I couldn't be of any more use

[fathom badge]

For reference, your skills are useful, but not critical. Most critical is food, second is gear, and in third place are your skill levels.

[dusty isle]

Doesn't help that there's a lot to learn

[fathom badge]

That is true. The nice thing is characters and worlds are separate, you can play solo in your own world and learn a lot that way

[dusty isle]

I'll just go to mistlands and pick every scavangeable and animals

lol

[halcyon crag]

escaping death loops can be a fun challenge

[subtle parrot]

@prime pier

[boreal cobalt]

Is there a weapon that seekers are not resistant to?

[dire hamlet]

yea - it's a weapon all humans has - it's called a brain 🤣

jokes aside - i don't think so other than frostner indirectly due to the slow

[subtle parrot]

Basically

[uncut mirage]

weapon skills are very important. My sword is very effective because my sword skill is over 90

[buoyant peak]

Whatever deals fire, frost or poison

They're only resistant to physical dmg

[forest mountain]

Is there any possible way to fix my world being destroyed? My saves wont restore no matter how far back I go and Ive lost dozens of hours of progress because of It.

[dusty isle]

I wonder if it's possible to just go into mistlands, use bronze weapons to farm hare and still come out alive lol

[dire hamlet]

it is

[dusty isle]

I know the obvious answer is yes but also.

can I use bronze weapons to kill stuffs

[dire hamlet]

i used to farm iron in there in playthroughs where i didn't want to kill bonemass or elder 😄

[boreal cobalt]

For a skill of 90 I'd have to not die a single time until mistlands or grind it

[dire hamlet]

or use a spear - that thing levels fast since it can be used as a bow as well

[subtle parrot]

What was the issue before trying to restore a backup?

[dusty isle]

I'm using a bronze bow and dealing single digit damage to mobs at mistland lmao

[forest mountain]

Me and my buds lived on a pretty sizable Island with a bunch of stuff on It, and when I loaded It up the Island was completely barren and malformed

[subtle parrot]

Where was it located? With the update there was some major land overhauls in the south and in the north

[boreal cobalt]

you better run

[forest mountain]

Pretty much dead center of the map, close to spawn In the dark forest biome

[reef carbon]

yoho.. is autocrafting included with some patch recently?
Dont know if "autocrafting" is the right term, but i wanted to make bronze nails and it immediately used all bronze from my inventory and made 100+ nails.
If it wasnt in a vanilla patch it must be a mod update i didnt see

[worldly root]

do flametal rocks randomly spawn or they set in place?

[boreal cobalt]

can I stagger a 1 star fuling berserker? It worked with normal ones but doesn't seem to with this one

[subtle parrot]

Hmm that is pretty strange.. the backups would be pretty sizeable, did you make sure you weren't loading backups that were a few kilobytes rather than megabytes? I had that happen to me and when i tried to restore an old world I restored the wrong backup. But I'm also pretty much computer illiterate, and play on xbox so it may be different how backups are stored. I think you should have access to a lot more backups in the files than in the game.

@forest mountain

[dire hamlet]

you can stagger a 2 star fuling berserker with the right armor rating, good enough max health pool, good enough parry stats (buckler or shield) and if it's well timed

[forest mountain]

I play on xbox as well. I tried every file It gave me access to and theres still just nothing. I was hoping maybe the game devs were able to provide a solution or maybe there was a simple fix, but the more I look It up the more Im finding there really Isnt much that can be done other than starting over.

[subtle parrot]

That's such a shame, sorry i can't help

[forest mountain]

I appreciate the attempt, this was just a last ditch effort before committing to starting over. Maybe sometime soon the devs will come up with a solution. Fingers crossed 😊

[distant charm]

should i skip padded armor? i cba the metal grind

[willow badge]

have you played through mistlands before?

[distant charm]

yeah once on release

[willow badge]

the root harnesk's pierce resistance makes it a good choice even for the late game, so that's one

[distant charm]

just got this, and i am ready for modor atm

but i cba to spend it on plains armor,

[willow badge]

well you don't have to upgrade it, that'll save quite some iron too

[distant charm]

gueuess the whole set is 30 iron i believe

not that much

[willow badge]

yep, and quality 2 is 41 total

[severe yarrow]

is anyone else having an issue with loading into a world single player or multiplayer?

[fathom badge]

If it's a world you had previous to the Ashlands update, the solution is to just wait. It will say it's not responding, but that's because it's building the world. Just don't touch the mouse or keyboard, it can take 5 minutes or more depending on your hardware to update a world. It will load faster after the initial update happens.

[severe yarrow]

ah ok thank you

does flooring count as a roof?

great info. thanks

Im not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but I was just fighting off a raid from skeletons and out of no where I didnt even pick anything up I started unlocking things I didn't have unlocked, stuff from the Ashlands and I havent even been to the Ashlands, Everything in the game... boom unlocked. Has anyone else had this? I don't want to have everything either as I was waiting for Ashlands to be a surprise. Is there a way to fix this without losing progress? Any help?

[subtle parrot]

I think that info is with the character not the world, so if you roll your character back to a save from before the incident maybe that would clear up the ashlands unlocks on the character. Only guess i could make.

[buoyant peak]

Try ||ResetKnownItems||

But I've never used that command so I would text on a test character first

[opal obsidian]

Thanks

[twilit forge]

Yo !
Is it normal that malwarebytes screams about blocked websites coming from valheim many times whileplaying with friends hosted server (Peer 2 peer hosted)

[fathom badge]

Never seen that myself, but I don't run Malwarebytes. It might just be alerting you to UDP traffic an app is doing that you might not be aware of, but no idea what blocked websites might be about. Unless you're using crossplay and join codes? It might be telling you about playfab connections to MS.

[twilit forge]

yea were not on a dedicated server, its from her xbox, ive seen it before with premium only, want to make sure theres no virus, her connection is fine tho

RTP stands for - Realtime Transfer Protocol. Tldr to not write an essay, this protocol is basically used to establish the connection with multiplayer servers/users/cross-play. It has other uses, but mainly, that's what it's used for walheim. Even if you play in single-player valheim performs server scan in the background. I don't remember off the bat, but there is as well join code for cross-play by default too, so it has the backend open for the console player to join. I hope this makes sense :)))

[fathom badge]

I haven't ever seen or heard of any viruses connected to Valheim. Does Malwarebytes tell you what the websites specifically are? That would be the most efficient way to see if it's a false positive or not.

[twilit forge]

They're just outbound ips
Ive had it before, but im pretty sure ots just p2p and xbox crossplay and things (and or server pings)

[fathom badge]

Ok. Yeah, that would be my guess and MB is just making sure you're aware.

I would imagine that Steam and Microsoft regularly proactively scan the apps they distribute for viruses and the like

[granite ingot]

Do the new Ashlands tameables end up damaging bases if used for base defense, or do they not do much terrain and structure damage?

[buoyant peak]

They don't

[keen bough]

feel free to spoil the answer for others, but i want to know: is there another source of iron besides swamps? i have yet to beat Bonemass

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[marsh rose]

Hey, can wolves pass through portals?

[fringe sundial]

To my understanding, no. Only players and their equipment/inventory can (with the exception of metal ore/ingots in the standard portals)

[marsh rose]

Okay, thanks

[fast pond]

I swear to god, there must be something with the wind since Ashlands. Literally every single time, at the worst possible moment, it comes directly from the direction I'm trying to sail to

And unless the size of the Drakkar is making it seem weaker, the wind strength is a joke too

[compact heath]

Tested it, works nicely. (Doing a play through with an old character)

[compact heath]

No in vanilla, ask in the mod channel for recommendations because there are mods that allow it

[compact heath]

Swamps is best and you need to beat Elder to get access to iron, not Bonemass, but there is later game iron in Mistlands and Ashlands biomes, though some not as plentiful as the swamps

[keen bough]

sigh, ok - ty!

i couldn't remember it's been so long

[lunar niche]

anyone know whats going on with the ridiculous latency issues in ashlands if theres 2 or more players out there?

[visual radish]

That's been a thing for a long time now. The wind almost always feels like it's against you and rarely in your favor.

[digital wedge]

so how do we change the harvest amount on a nitrado server ? as i want x2 not x1

[vague goblet]

Hoping someone can help me with this bug. It just started recently and is completely random but sometimes I can't sleep or sit in chairs. I just get placed on top of them but it never allows me to sleep. I re-log and/or restart the game and nothing seems to fix it.

I should also note that I've re-built the bed and tried different locations for the bed and it doesn't make a difference.

[terse cedar]

is there a way to increase auto save frequency?

[halcyon crag]

sleeping in bed triggers a save, as does logging out

[open aspen]

is it normal to only have ashlands in the south? I feel like I explored almost 2/3 and only found 1 dungeon

[halcyon crag]

yes

it's meant to be difficult for early game players to access for obvious reasons

sounds like you may have had some bad luck with POI generation tho, if the whole Ashlands is like that you may need to try another world

[open aspen]

this is my map:

so far on that one main section I'm on only saw one dungeon

[halcyon crag]

i think the Drynwynn quest takes you to more

[astral cape]

chat what does corpse run mean (i got the game today)

[exotic fulcrum]

Can someone help me with crashing issue. problem of loading into a world and the game crashes. It'll be fine in the menu but as soon as I load into a world and click on my screen it crashes.

[dim snow]

whatisthename - a corpse run is what you do when you try to run back and try to get your stuff from your dead body.

[dim snow]

If the server is not running on the same update that you are running it will crash.

[exotic fulcrum]

how do I update a sever?

[exotic fulcrum]

I even tried making a new sever and it still crashed, I dont think thats the problem.

[dim snow]

You can force an update through steam. Are you creating your own server or joining someone elses?

[exotic fulcrum]

creating my own severs and I even tried making a new character

[exotic fulcrum]

how do I force a update through steam?

[dim snow]

In steam - go to your Library - Right click the game - Click properties

In the new window select updates

[exotic fulcrum]

Im honestly confused the game worked fine before the new update everything looks fine but as soon as I click my screen while loading into a world it crashes.

[dim snow]

When you use the extended slots in your moded world the computer deletes them (and everything in them) when you go vanilla. It will only keep items in the packs normal slots. I stopped using the extended pack for that reason.

[compact heath]

If this is the first time you are loading the world after Ashlands update, you need to just wait and not click anything or click " wait until it becomes responsive" or whatever windows says, it ca ntake 10 mins to convert a world if that is the issue

[exotic fulcrum]

Thank you so much

[vernal wharf]

Has anyone had issues port forwarding valheim? I have a computer I am trying to run the server on and I can connect via my local network just fine from my gaming pc but as soon as i try my public ip it will not work. All the ports I have tried are in the pic. Yes I can do port ranges and that didn't work so I tried the method you see

[dense agate]

are there anyway to use command to delete this?

[misty thistle]

Bruh what is going on with this? I keep getting wood inside a fully enclosed space and roofing that just completely deteriorates. No idea why.

Another example

[deft sandal]

Can someone explain to me what the strat is with infested mines? because you need to do infested mines to get better gear but it feels like you need better gear to do infested mines. Everything is tanky, hits like a trust, and if a tick latches to your back you're dead. Bows aren't sufficient either when dealing with 2+ enemies. Parry (if you can land it) isn't effective enough against 2 seekers or other groups, especially if one of them is one star. Pure blocking will get you staggered & killed. Is this another one of those: "You gotta use this one specific weapon regardless of what you've been leveling the whole playthrough" thing, like with clubs and bonemass? What am I missing here? I'm using lvl padded plains armor and lvl 4 blackmetal gear (Axe + Shield), alongside with Misthare supreme, Blood Pudding, and Bread.

[summer fox]

has anyone had the issue that they cant load into any world for valheim? it let me get all the way to loading into the world then crash

[hollow wyvern]

hey did they remove the ability to harvest anything from oak trees other than wood? for example acorns, feathers, resin, etc. or am I just getting that unlucky right now?

[compact heath]

Use Bonemass buff when fighting multiple or starred enemies, for ticks use iron sledge or atgeir ideally if having trouble with them. You can also use root chest with other heavy armour to protect from tick and seeker pierce damage. bring the best healing and stamina meads you got. also always be rested and have a portal nearby, sometimes you can clear a very hard room while you have the corpse run buff if you're struggling, then another option is to make game easier or very easy on world modifiers

[compact heath]

If this is the first time you are loading the world after Ashlands update, you need to just wait and not click anything or click " wait until it becomes responsive" or whatever windows says, it can take 10 mins to convert a world if that is the issue

[summer fox]

new world and gotcha ill try it thanks for your help

[compact heath]

I think new world will also need to do some calculating with ashlands update when loading for first time

[summer fox]

omg all i ahd to do was wait

[compact heath]

Glad I could help 🙂

[summer fox]

i feel silly now, thank you again

omg and a option to skip the intro *gasp

[hollow wyvern]

okay so i was just getting super unlucky, the first 10 trees i cut down didn't drop anything at all

[compact heath]

10 is not a statistically significant number

[hollow wyvern]

I'm impatient sometimes, so 10 is a bit for me
but you're right

[compact heath]

all the drops still exist of course, it can be hit and miss especially with acors and birch seeds

[cold cape]

I just tried displaying a turnip on an item stand and it doesn't seem to work anymore? I remember they added the capability in a previous patch...

[idle phoenix]

if i enter this red water is it over for me

[neat remnant]

With the wrong boat, yes

I mean you take ticking damage but I don't know how strong it is

[idle phoenix]

im glad my instincts be guiding me in the right direction

thank odin he an og

[terse cedar]

is middle mouse button better for chopping trees?

[charred tide]

Spamming left mouse button is faster
Unless you're hitting a bunch of stuff that you don't wanna hit with the wide swing of left mouse button, that lowers your damage to the te you wanna hit
The precise overhead is better then

The ground counts as stuff you can hit, even though you don't see dmg numbers, it makes you do less damage to the tree

[terse cedar]

oh snap

that's prob why my mining dmg is all over the place too isnt it?

[charred tide]

Yes

I wouldn't worry too much about it though for now
As long as you're aware of it, you'll have plenty of time figuring out angles and strategies while mining and chopping since you'll do that a bit

[charred tide]

Also counts for damage against enemies with weapons
So in tight spaces and on slopes you feel less damage with wide swings usually

[unborn estuary]

Hello. Me and my friends fucked up big time yesterday. We sailed to Ashlands a bit too early, and got crushed in the boiling sea before Ashlands. Our boat and gear floats around in the sea there. Any clever ideas to get our loot back? We are a bit fucked in terms of beating the Mistlands boss, since we have to grind to get our gear back.

[jagged shuttle]

hey all maybe someone can help. buddy and i reinstalled. But whenever we try and join any gamew. game times out and crashes

[unborn estuary]

Do you use mods? 🙂

[willow raft]

If you don't mind using the devcommands you could fly there and get your gear back, spawn them back in, spawn in the boat and get your gear back and delete the boat after.

If not, you can try a karve or longboat and do a sail by grab what you can and try and head back as close to normal sea again and keep repeating that till you have everything back.

If you sailed till you can't sail no more and there isn't anything to make landfall close by it will be a grind to get everything back.

[unborn estuary]

Yes. Our boat got crushed. Our idea is to make a portal on land near our loot, but then we will have to swim. So commands could be possible, if my frends want to "cheat" haha.

But the longboat will be our best try i guess? Dont know how long it will hold in the boiling water

[willow raft]

Portal near loot and a new boat to get gear again, swimming will kill you quickly.

[unborn estuary]

Ok 😄

Well need some boats then x)

[prime pier]

How i level up fast my workbench its 1 lvl

[uncut mirage]

You need a firewall rule to allow traffic to your IP and loopback NAT policy if you're testing inside your network. Port translation is just door number. You still have to open the door

[jagged shuttle]

No. We just figured it out. We just had to let the game load for a long time our first time back

[willow raft]

You progress trough the game, it will unlock extra things you need to put down to upgrade your workbench.

[mild yew]

Hey is there a spawn command list for Ashland items yet?

[willow raft]

A few can be found here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs

[mild yew]

Thanks! c:

[grim sable]

does a two star deer despawn?
i trapped one

[brittle cloak]

Yo anybody got a bunch of stone they dont need I need a couple chest full worth

[opal obsidian]

Anyone know why my F5 key isn’t working I’m trying to type a command out but nothing is showing when I press F5 it has worked in the past too so idk what’s happening

[willow raft]

No but you can't tame them, the only thing to do is either make it an exhibit in a zoo or kill it for the materials.

[quartz cairn]

add -console to your startup link, or right click your steam valheim -> properties -> general -> bottom input field

[dense agate]

what does smoke bomb do in ashland update

[uncut mirage]

nothing its pretty useless

maybe I've just not found a use for it but so far testing has yielded no positive results

[fringe sundial]

Just a rumor, but aparently they are the "fire department " of ashlands (puts out burning materials) but again, that's just a rumor. Haven't tested it.

[idle phoenix]

smoke bombs sound ninja style

[fringe sundial]

They very much would be if they blocked line of sight/agro AOE.

[idle phoenix]

do they not

[uncut mirage]

maybe through them at everything in Ashlands and see what happens 😄

[idle phoenix]

would be good for stealth for example

it'd make it more interesting

what if they add spells like in skyrim that would be dope as hell

[uncut mirage]

After testing Eitr food with Flametal armor 142, I'm struggling to see the point in using mage robes.

[idle phoenix]

also does haldor sell anything new once you defeat the queen

[marble roost]

I mean just preference. Some people really like the dps of mage robes

Personally I prefer primarily fenris or Askvin armor while going mage

[idle phoenix]

well that fucking sucks

[willow raft]

More eitr regen, means you can keep on tossing spells for longer.

[uncut mirage]

I don't notice a big difference tbh

[marble roost]

Think it's a 50% increase from the eitr regen you'd normally have. Although I'll be honest I don't feel it's toooo noticeable either

[uncut mirage]

and the cost of more eitr is inevitable death, especially in Ashlands

[willow raft]

As said above it is a preference, you can use other armor while going mage.
It is noticeable if you use it and someone else doesn't and keep on firing spells but it isn't game breaking.

[willow raft]

100% for full set. Eitr weave that is.

[marble roost]

Yea but you have 100% by default and an additional 100% from rested (which most people run around with), so another 100% is only a 50% increase to your current rate

[idle phoenix]

anybody else notice that magic in valheim just kinda boring

[marble roost]

A lot of people think eitr armor is supposed to double the rate you get eitr at

[marble roost]

Some of it I find pretty fun, but overall it does get a bit boring because it feels way too OP to me

Same reason I can't use bows

[idle phoenix]

its like being a mage in dark souls 3

[uncut mirage]

mage robes should have a bonus dmg when using eitr as well maybe

[idle phoenix]

game just gets too easy

[marble roost]

I think mage robes are okay as is. A lot of people do like them

I suppose they'll shine more if you're in multiplayer too and have some frontline fighters who take agro while you launch volleys of damage

[uncut mirage]

personally I feel like full mages builds in Valheim need a buff. If you're going to be a glass canon anyway

[marble roost]

idk, imo mages are never glass cannons unless they decide to leave staff of protection at home

[hazy narwhal]

Mage is easily the strongest build out there. 👀

[willow raft]

I think full mage build is at a good point, maybe even a bit too strong compared to other builds.

[idle phoenix]

mages are already strong as is

[uncut mirage]

staff of protection is made of glass and takes time to recast and when it goes down you can get one shotted

[idle phoenix]

devs should put an emphasis on using real weapons like swords and blunts

[willow raft]

You aren't using any stamina to fight with though so you should have enough to get away or do a dodge roll.
Staff of protection can have 700 damage reduction and if you have it on you you can stagger almost anything.

[subtle parrot]

A buff when you collect your gravestone that drastically reduces your run stamina usage

[uncut mirage]

get away from a barrage of arrows?

[turbid mantle]

You practiced that fighting elder

[uncut mirage]

My elemental is 65 and blood magic is always 40

[willow raft]

Run, dodge roll and get LoS on the ones firing arrows.

[uncut mirage]

Mage in any biomes is OP...in Ashlands the weakness of mages builds are very obvious

[hazy narwhal]

there isn’t much in the game that isnt just avoidable by slowly walking to the left or right lol

[turbid mantle]

At least on default ye

[uncut mirage]

Some fulings spearman have aimbot though

[marble roost]

Not really. What's the weakness?

[marble roost]

and the few things that aren't can be dodgerolled or ran out of

[turbid mantle]

I bet snail can get through Ashlands with a copper knife

[marble roost]

Not without dying

[turbid mantle]

Idk you’re pretty crazy it might just be fine

[marble roost]

I could prob get through with some fenris armor a ice staff and a staff of protection though

[idle phoenix]

are lox trophies literally unobtainable i need misty fish bait

[marble roost]

Shouldn't be

should just be a 5% drop rate

[idle phoenix]

it's supposed to be 10% but i haven't gotten a single lox trophy since the start of the game and im about to fight the queen

[marble roost]

Tbh I don't think I got one on my first playthrough but I wasn't genociding Lox either. My last playthrough I made a lox farm and got like 10 trophies

[idle phoenix]

finally got one after having to kill like 15 of these dudes

[willow raft]

Quite low drop rate but if you have a lox farm you can get quite a bit of them, even more if you automate it.

[lilac coyote]

That seems to match the drop chance fairly well.

[digital wedge]

anyone know hot to edit the server init for valheim lol as tryna edit some settings for it

[uncut mirage]

I've killed so many loxs they seem to be all over the place

[arctic scaffold]

Hello, excuse me for disturbing you, I play Valheim on Xbox Series S.
After a freeze of the game, following this I restarted them but since black screen at start

[idle phoenix]

holy 😭 fishing drains so much stamina

never had to fish like ever until now

[thorn spire]

depends on your skill and the fish.

[uncut mirage]

you need to fish a lot to get ur skill up and eat lots of stamina food and potions

[idle phoenix]

anglerblob:

[thorn spire]

it's very stamina intensive, yes. You need to get the skill up.

[uncut mirage]

there are ways to make it easier

[idle phoenix]

imma get my bag tomorrow y'all wait and see

what does the fishing hat do anyway

gives you like a bonus or something

[thorn spire]

fishing hat gives you +20 fishing skill.

and +20 swim skill, i think

[marble roost]

Strat is to run triple stamina and have stamina potions, and potentially walk backwards when you hook the fish to drag it onto land where you can grab it. Also don't throw the line out too far

Fishing skill helps a tonnnn

I do wish fishing was more useful though

[thorn spire]

also, once you've hooked a fish, they have rest times and 'struggling' times. Stam drain is super high when the fish is struggling. You can see the wriggle animation.

[willow raft]

#dedicated-server Will be able to help you better I guess.

[marble roost]

Oh yeah, I know that mechanic exists but I forget it 100% of the time I'm fishing 😂

[subtle parrot]

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

[last osprey]

Not really that much. As long as you get your skill to 15-20 and grab the fishing hat for another +20 (look for beached fish, i only fished up two of the fish for mine) it gets pretty manageable with double or triple stam food, at least up to Mistland fish.
If you're doing your leveling on perch or pike it shouldn't take you more than an hour or two.

The only downside is that there really isn't much point going for higher biome fish

[willow raft]

The only fish that are interesting to get are anglerfish for the fish 'n bread and the pufferfish for use in an auto farm, base defense, portable damage that won't aggro the mob that steps on it.

[dense ridge]

Hi everyone ! I'm new here and i have difficulties with wolves i kept one in a hole and i feed him with fresh meet. I see hearts appear but no pourcentage after 1h... Is it normal ?

[inland dawn]

does he have a red exclamation mark above its head?

[dense ridge]

Sometime yes when a throw the meet but after i hide myself and the red disapear and it became normal with hearts but the pourcentage never start

[vernal wharf]

Did you even read what I said? Also the server is running on Ubuntu server, I am able to connect to the server from another PC on the same network but when someone uses my public IP they can't, even with all those ports open, I also turned off the firewall on my router for testing

[inland dawn]

are you within 64 meters or are you sleeping during taming?

[dense ridge]

I have my base far away from my wolf but i still try to be around the wolf to see if taming start

[inland dawn]

have you slept in game because that pauses the timer by making the wolf hungry

try to stay close enough so you are 64 meters away from the wolf but not close enough that it arrgos on you

[dense ridge]

I sleep at my base, i get the meet and i go to the wolf to feed him everyday

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, nothing is going to happen in that case.

[subtle parrot]

You interrupt the cycle by making yourself known, you need to sneak over and just toss a whole stack of meat in there and wait 30 minutes without disturbing it nearby.. also as a side note the percent progress doesn't show on xbox just in case you're not on pc.

[inland dawn]

you have to stay by the wolf until it is finished taming

[dense ridge]

Oh thank you i will try to have a full stock of meat and to stay close of the wolf

[willow raft]

You need to be closeby for half an hour total till it gets tamed.
So toss in a stack of food and run away, sneak closer again and park yourself and wait or do stuff close by without disturbing the wolf.

[dense ridge]

[naive mason]

Hi, can't see the tomb can it be possible that it couldn't generate despite I see it on the map?

[fathom badge]

What probably happened is you got the location mapped before the Ashlands update, but big game updates like that will move undiscovered locations. Go back to the vegvesir to get the correct location.

[distant charm]

fav way to get coal? cut wood or those swamp fucks

[buoyant peak]

Place wood stacks in ashlands and let it burn

[fathom badge]

Mix of both, but if you dig down around the surtling spawners and there are a few close together, they just die as soon as they hit the water and become an easy coal generator.

[distant charm]

yeahh been doing that

[distant charm]

not in ashlands yet

whats weight of egg modor

[subtle parrot]

200

[distant charm]

fav way to get fine wood? plains?

[fathom badge]

Plains, or oak trees. You can get a fair amount pretty safely in the Meadows between the oaks and birch, but it takes a bit of roaming.

[distant charm]

u get fine from oak?

[subtle parrot]

Yup

[distant charm]

best arrows for modor/

[subtle parrot]

Obsidian/ poison

[marble roost]

Obsidian

[fathom badge]

Or needle if you're brave 😛

[true steeple]

Obsidian/silver arrows (both 52 pierce)

[marble roost]

Although I prefer a fang spear or flesh rippers for downing that bad girl

[distant charm]

got loads of needles

so fire aint worth

[fathom badge]

I personally never make metal projectiles except blackmetal bolts. If it's not renewable there are usually better uses for the resource

[true steeple]

I used silver arrows for her once because I had enough spare silver and no obsidian

[distant charm]

same tbh

[fathom badge]

Not really... the damage is so low that even though she's weak to fire it doesn't outdamage the obsidian arrows

[distant charm]

perfect, thanks

[marble roost]

sleeping on blackmetal missiles

[fathom badge]

Those too 😉 But that's for my ballista

[distant charm]

shame u can only use obsidian for arrows

[marble roost]

I still gotta try out fighting Moder with a Torch. Sure that would go great

[subtle parrot]

Obsidian spear would've been neat, but idk what else would make sense for obsidian weapon/tool wise. I mean a dagger would be neat too. But we got silver dagger and fang spear lol

[distant charm]

building maybe

[subtle parrot]

You use it for a workbench upgrade, but not sure what it could be used for building in general

[obsidian hull]

Maybe the wrong channel for this, but is there a good press email for the dev team? I'm writing a story for a games industry newsletter about approaches to Early Access and would love to quote the Valheim team.

[subtle parrot]

Check their blogsite

[obsidian hull]

Did find a contact form but I tend to find those messages get lost in the void

[rigid glade]

Hey, i was looking how to enable console on GFN and in one video there was a comment from "smiffy" saying "lol there is a much easier way we added console in chat window a while back specifically for GFN users". Any idea how to use that? To my surprise typing /devcommands in regular chat prompts a "devcommands: true" actually right now, but no clue how to use commands after that.

[fathom badge]

There's a pinned post in this channel that links to the wiki that has all kinds of info about that.

[rigid glade]

0 info there

[fathom badge]

Are you looking for like a tutorial or something? Check Youtube. But once you type in devcommands you can just spawn things, do whatever. The description of the command is what they do.

[bleak stirrup]

Hi guys quick question can anyone confirm that once you kill the ashlands miniboss you have a chance of it invading your house?

[subtle parrot]

They've responded to all 3 emails i sent in, and even gave me directions to the proper email to send my support mail to. So they will likely answer you.

[rigid glade]

#valheim-help message

[lilac coyote]

Respectfully, WHAT?!

[rigid glade]

creator/developer of this game claims its all obsolete info.

[opaque sonnet]

Is there any faster way to level blood magic? Went afk at my swamp spot with 3 spawners for draugrs, only went from 35 > 40 in like 2 hours?

[lilac coyote]

I have no idea what you're talking about. The page I linked you in a different channel is not obselete in the slightest.

[rigid glade]

its completley obsolete, u can now use console straight from chat window no need for propertiest changes etc just type /devcommands in the game chat

[lilac coyote]

OK, then you clearly have all the answers you need.

[rigid glade]

Nope, because i have no idea how to use commands after that through chat window, there is no info anywhere on the web on how u can use it except turning it on from the chat box and seemingly no one knows besides developers.

[subtle parrot]

Type / and then whatever command you want to use. And hit enter.

[lilac coyote]

Once again, the page you have decided is obselete has a list of all of the commands available.

[rigid glade]

this page is for commands from console, not from chat window its obselete.

[subtle parrot]

It's gonna be the same commands

[rigid glade]

are you talking about regular F5 console window or chat window?

[lilac coyote]

I give up trying to help you 😕

[rigid glade]

i figured the same but it simply doest work

[subtle parrot]

Should be the same. But to my knowledge only a limited type of commands work in the chat window. Like you can only ban others or kick them. You can't use cheat commands from the chat window.

[rigid glade]

afaik that used to be the case, but now actually u can /devcommands in chat window and it prompts "devcommands: true" same as console

[subtle parrot]

Right you can activate the devcommands, but again to my knowledge you still can only use those limited commands

I play on xbox, and can tell you it's much easier to just open the console window rather than the chat window on xbox. I'm not a pc user.

[rigid glade]

i guess @lapis terrace was mistaken there then, since no one knows seemingly

[lilac coyote]

Well, you've had our answers that we know work but have chosen to discard them. Your choice.

[naive mason]

oh I see, tysm mate, last question, what is the effect of stamina reduction of the camp object given by the Hildir's armor ?

[fathom badge]

It reduces stamina use with the hoe, hammer and cultivator

[naive mason]

It is really noticable ? xd

[fathom badge]

It's a pretty significant boost, especially if you're flattening a lot of land, destructing or building a lot, or just replanting your fields.

[frail cave]

Help, I have trouble getting in the game. Everytime I start a new world with new character the game will crash at loading. Why is this happening?

It didn’t happened before couple hours ago when I first boosted this game to try Ashworld updates on my creative world

[subtle parrot]

Just wait

[fathom badge]

The first loading of an old world in the new update does a lot of processing to calculate the new data. It can take 5 minutes or more, depending on your computer. It will load like usual after the initial calculation step.

[delicate ocean]

Do surtlings take damage in rain?

[turbid mantle]

Mobs don’t get wet unless submerged

[dusty isle]

is the arbalest strong enough to take down seekers

[fathom badge]

Sure. Sneak shots will often one-shot them if you've got high enough skills. But they still resist all physical damage.

[uncut mirage]

If someone is trying to connect to a device on your network with your public IP you need a whole lot more than a few port forwarding rules

[vernal wharf]

Then why does minecraft work?

[uncut mirage]

First you need a NAT policy from your public IP to you local subnet
then you need to turn back on your firewall and configure it properly.

[uncut mirage]

no idea how you set it up

[fathom badge]

If it's a Minecraft realm then you are using Minecraft's servers. The easiest way to set up a Valheim server on a private network is with Crossplay enabled since that will basically let you ignore the firewall and NAT issues. Otherwise you need to have a world-routable public IP and port-forward the Valheim ports to the internal IP that is listening. But #dedicated-server is where the most knowledgable server admins tend to read and chat.

[vernal wharf]

Currently my "server" pc is running proxmox with a lxc running portainter with valheim in a docker container

For minecraft I self host a spigot server

For that I just have to port forward 25565 and it works

[fathom badge]

You should need two ports for Valheim, 2456 and 2457, it needs both of them.

[vernal wharf]

I also run a Jellyfin server that works fine without too much hassle, that is just running on a raspberry pi and my friends can access it anywhere

[old abyss]

CANOT PLAY GAME NO LOADING CRASHING OOO ;C

[lilac coyote]

Not the WORST crash report I've seen, but it's close.

[fathom badge]

a) stop yelling and b) just wait. If you're getting the "Valheim stopped responding" that's expected when you first load a world up with the new update, it takes time to convert all the data

[terse cedar]

wth is going on with these shadows

[subtle parrot]

One is straight up the other is angled out

[terse cedar]

I think this place is where they filimed the moon landing

[lilac coyote]

Different light sources, presumably.

[lilac coyote]

On the moon, you mean. And no, this is Valheim.

[fathom badge]

The roof is at an angle, so the shadow looks weird from it. It's working as expected.

[terse cedar]

That's what they want you to believe

wake up sheekings

[subtle parrot]

Valheimian conspiracy theorists are not real, valheimian conspiracy theorists cannot hurt you

[terse cedar]

let me axe you somethin

what do you think happens if you sail to the edge of the map

[subtle parrot]

You flip to the other side

[terse cedar]

naturally

[lilac coyote]

Well, in Valheim, you fall off to your death.

[subtle parrot]

Indeed

[haughty condor]

hi guys - does anybody know how to set world modifier for raids using valheim console command setworldmodifier ?
we want to set it to "no raids"

[dry cedar]

yo im on my first valhiem play through what should i except from the first boss

[lilac coyote]

setkey EventRate 0

[true steeple]

With the rested buff, a level 3 shield (normal or tower), some leather armor, a level 3 flint weapon, deer meat, honey and either boar meat or raspberries he should be impossible to die to

[dry cedar]

well rn i just got like a bow with flaming arrows meat honey and troll amour

will i be good?

[true steeple]

Yes, you'll be fine. He is much weaker in comparison to the player than all the other bosses.

[distant charm]

how good is the fenrir armor

[dry cedar]

i mean the hardest thing ive seen so far is a big troll thing

[true steeple]

Eikthyr (the boss you're about to kill) has less health than a troll

[dry cedar]

damn so a few flaming arrows and im set

[haughty condor]

Hi Derek, thanks - I got this: setworldmodifier Raids none - and it is shown in F2

[lilac coyote]

OK, do that then.

[subtle parrot]

Heck a flint knife lol

[true steeple]

If you didn't know already (because for some reason the game doesn't want to tell you) rolling makes you invincible for a short time, which is great against trolls and bosses

[dry cedar]

i can roll ! erm

[true steeple]

Block + Jump (Or block + B on controller)

[dry cedar]

i never looked at the controls

[dry cedar]

alr

i just walked away when i wanted to dodge

[true steeple]

Walking away also works very well and doesn't cost any stamina

[dry cedar]

i mean the hit box is pretty good from what ive seen

thank you for the infomation ill be trying to go find a way to the deer thing i forgot what the name is

without dieing to the dwarf sharmans diesed breath

[nocturne oyster]

Valheim crashes everytime i try to join my old save, anyone know have to fix this? I also died before the update so all my loot is in my old save

[true steeple]

It's not actually crashing, you just need to wait for the world to update.

[nocturne oyster]

do you know how to fix this?

[true steeple]

I just told you, you need to wait.

[lament scroll]

what's with lag? logging back in after long hiatus (haven't played since mistlands came out) and am back in my main base, but its laggy as hell. is this the new normal?

[quartz cairn]

too many wolves

[subtle parrot]

Could be any number of things from light sources to instance count in general to some kind of settings change possibly.

[quartz cairn]

he mentioned having 150 wolves in his base...

[subtle parrot]

Welp not in the comment i see lol but that'll do it too

[lament scroll]

ok, so its the wolves then, you guys have a good memory lol

I have a bunch of lox at my main base too, maybe 10 or so. but yeah, 150 wolves, prob 20 chickens. it wasn't laggy before ashlands came out, it was fine.

I built massive earthern walls all around my base and parked small packs of wolves all around perimeter. works great vs night mobs and against events. I just sit there and watch everything die.

and earthern walls are indestructable, and tall enough that trolls can't get over em

[sudden lagoon]

Wearing both 3 pieces of Ask for Ask's Endurance and the Ashen cape. Noticing that the Active buffs listing does not show the Ashen Cape's +20 Block Stamina reduction nor its additional 10% attack stamina reduction. Bug or known issue?

[vivid hornet]

How do I launch myself in the catapult?

It only shows that I can place an item (1-8) but I can't activate it to sling myself

[sudden lagoon]

stand on the basket with feather cloak

[vivid hornet]

and then? 😄 where do I press to launch?

If I press "use", it says im not in the right position, but that is probably referring to me not standing in front of the catapult to drag it.

[sudden lagoon]

maybe they removed that lol

Even naked with just the Ashen Cape on there is no active buffs....

[buoyant peak]

Put something in the ammo slot

Like grausten ammo

[vivid hornet]

ahhh, thanks! i tried putting a random stone in there, but items like HAMMER can be swung

[pearl mortar]

Does the asksvin set and feather cape stack jump stamina reduction

[golden tartan]

HI EVERY ONE, ANY ONE KNOWS HOW TO SUMMON AGAIN THE QUEEN?

There is an altar upstairs, but I don't know what object to deliver, I need help

[sudden lagoon]

they appear to

[floral furnace]

if I recall correctly 3x seeker soldier trophies (5% each)

[subtle parrot]

Yup

[golden tartan]

thanks

[marble roost]

Also, you can find other queen altars in the world. That’s sometimes easier than trying to collect soldier trophies

Where she will already be spawned in

[golden tartan]

Yup, that crossed my mind too, thank you very much

[rare rock]

Hello, I am trying to build a nice wall around my base, but I ran into a weird issue I do not know how to fix.
The 2 sides of the wall are connected to the same base and thus have the same starting points (green), yet when I try to connect the 2 no matter what I've tried so far I get a very frustrating gap at one end (red). Any way I can fix this?

[turbid mantle]

It’s because of your curve

If you build going the other way and then have the outline meet in the curve instead maybe ?

[rare rock]

it seems I have no choice to have a gap there or have heavy clipping in the middle of the curve then

[fathom badge]

What Queen Germ said, but a better place to discuss more detailed building is in #building-discussion or #building-screenshots , the most experienced builders tend to hang out there 😉

[rare rock]

tried it on a smaller scale and it still got a gap, so I gotta make it clip into the middle

what causes this though, a slight angle mistake in the building rotation limit?

[fathom badge]

It's basically just geometry. If you start both legs from the right angle they will be more symmetrical.

[rare rock]

I mean in the second pic both arms are equally long and each curve increase is 3 sections, it still has a gap

[fathom badge]

Did you snap the pieces to each other from the center angle, and not based on the curve?

[rare rock]

I'm sorry, English is not my native language and I am not fully sure what you mean by that

[ocean venture]

Can someone help me why my roofs are decaying it shouldn't decay right

[true steeple]

Are you sure nothing could be damaging them?

[ocean venture]

No mobs should be able to damage it because its so high but the strange thing is that it more than 50% damaged

[fathom badge]

What stage of the game are you in? Where are the roofs?

[ocean venture]

And other things like wooden pillars which is coverd by roof is damaged
bronze age not yet defeated elder

@fathom badge

[marble roost]

And it’s an actual roof build piece and not like a flat floor build piece you just used for the roof?

[ocean venture]

Thatch roof 26 corners and other builds that is covered by roof

[marble roost]

Wack

How damaged is it?

[ocean venture]

Majority is up to 50 procents but theare is some builds like walls or pilars that goes up to 90-95 % damaged

[marble roost]

Not sure what’s going on

[finite onyx]

Help i need building advice! dm me if you're a good builder and want to help

[fringe sundial]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202313747197345873 is your best bet. It is near the bottom of the chat options.

[subtle parrot]

Start both sides first, then add the curve from the straight sides and join them in the middle. Hopefully that's easier to understand.

Check in #mods-issues

[timber talon]

Alright, Imma post there

[rare rock]

ah alright, I wasn't fully sure, thank you. Anyways its a real shame you have to clip them in the middle otherwise you get weird gaps when building circles :(

[subtle parrot]

Indeed, hard to build proper circles with straight edges, sadly

[rare rock]

spent like an hour trying out larger and weirder angles until I feared that putting the area where the gap is in the middle instead of at one of the 2 ends, was really hoping there was a clean fix I was missing 😭

[turbid mantle]

I wish we had wedges

The clipping is nice though compared to games that just refuse to let you place something if there’s a single pixel clipping

[fathom badge]

Best thing to do with that is to DM @lofty orchid. I'm deleting your message just so it's not sitting here @civic dune

[terse cedar]

I just chopped something down and got corewood

does that mean I need to rebuild everything

[true steeple]

You can use whatever works best for your base

[terse cedar]

oh I can?

[fathom badge]

It doesn't mean you need to. It means you get to! 😛 And then you'll get stone and get to do it again, and then...

[turbid mantle]

You can also just add it to your base instead of rebuilding

Forever expanding

[terse cedar]

Hmm

Well the labor force sucks in this game compared to soulmask so I haven't gotten a roof up yet

so what is the advantage of corewood

just better?

[true steeple]

It supports taller builds

[turbid mantle]

Different look and more structural integrity

[true steeple]

It might have more health too but I don’t know

[turbid mantle]

You’ll often see it used just to accent wooden buildings not even being used for structural support

[terse cedar]

ha

[turbid mantle]

It does have more hp

[fathom badge]

Corewood has different pieces than regular wood. There are no floor or wall specific pieces, but it has more support so you can build higher up and further out. Slightly 😉

[terse cedar]

I've been trying not to look at other builds because I don't want to contaminate my creative vision with invasive external threats I mean ideas

[fathom badge]

Basically think of it like a pack of new legos. You don't have to use them, but you can, wherever you want.

[terse cedar]

and when I get done playing with them, leave them in the hallway

[turbid mantle]

Middle of the hallway preferably

Right as you turn a corner so there’s no chance of seeing it

That’s what my kid does anyway

[terse cedar]

See thats why I come here, you guys got this stuff down to a science

[turbid mantle]

The first time he stepped on a lego we were on the ground crying watching babies first lego stepping

[terse cedar]

lol

so you can build regular wood platforms further away from a corewood beam than a regular wood beam?

[turbid mantle]

Yeah, there’s a wiki page that talks about the meters up you can go depending on the material

[terse cedar]

I was looking at this https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Core_wood but maybe thats the bad wiki

[turbid mantle]

The bad wiki?

There’s only one isn’t there

[terse cedar]

There's this one but you might want to grab some snow goggles before u open it https://valheim-wiki.com/Core_wood

[turbid mantle]

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

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, valheim-wiki.com is outdated and probably riddled with errors.

[turbid mantle]

It hasn’t been edited in forever holy cow

Can’t even see the last edit

[turbid mantle]

Because it’s a white page? I don’t get it

[orchid mirage]

I keep getting a bug where my inventory will always shift click split a stack whenever I click anything. im not using those keys

its like my keyboard is stuck

but only on that inventory window

[turbid mantle]

Someone might tell you that’s against the rules, just fyi

[terse cedar]

I wont post my affiliate link then, thanks for the heads up

[turbid mantle]

They’re pretty serious about every bit of media being explicitly valheim

[terse cedar]

that was footage of a native american greeting leif erikson

[orchid mirage]

Has anyone had this issue?

[pearl shore]

does anyone know how to fix were valheim crashes right after you open it

[serene tangle]

mods?

[pearl shore]

no i got it fixed

someyhing in the game files

[nimble shell]

hey guys i was wondering if anyone else is getting major stuttering and hithcing in ashlands while on a dedicated server?

[median vapor]

idk if this is the kind of help this channel is meant for but dear god can someone give me some solo Moder fight advice please? I just died for the bajillionth time and it feels like im making no progress. Starting to get really frustrated

[floral token]

don't go during the night time, and roll the melee attacks. other than that, just hit her until she's dead.

when she's flying, be ready for the icicles

[median vapor]

omg its a miracle, I did it!! First time killing Moder solo!

It took what felt like an hour of real life time, in the end timing bonemass ability right as she went down and getting a good position to mace her in the face let me do the last half of damage much faster than I did the first half of her damage

off to the Plains! Thanks friends!

[summer canyon]

Congratulations!! Keep eyes peeled for Squitoes and good luck!

[willow narwhal]

Any spawn ids experts out here?

[hollow citrus]

How do you catch anglerfish? I see them in the water but they're not taking the bait.

[halcyon crag]

what do you need?

[halcyon crag]

get closer

[willow narwhal]

Fader's id and most ashland ids

[hollow citrus]

?

[halcyon crag]

if the bait isn't right in front of their nose they won't go far to look for it

[halcyon crag]

should be on the wiki

[willow narwhal]

nope, some ids are missing

I will try testing stuff myself in game, thank you sir!

[lilac coyote]

Fader is literally fader.

[lilac coyote]

Which ones are missing? Most are on their individual pages, I haven't had time to collate them into https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs yet.

[halcyon crag]

classic slacking

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, imagine that. Not having updated the entire Wiki a week and a half after a huge new update is launched.

[halcyon crag]

too slow, hire moar wiki dev 🤪

[lilac coyote]

Haha, like we're paid for it!

[willow narwhal]

🤓

[lilac coyote]

Yes, that encourages me to work faster 😕
