[lilac coyote]

Already covered.

[willow raft]

Missed that.

[frail cave]

waiting for the harvest XD

[compact heath]

nice one

[frail cave]

yeah insted of using i decied to make a small farm with what i had

[frail cave]

also even if i close the game they still grow right XD

dudee thsi game is so op i saw the new stuff weapons and all that cant wait to unlock them

[rough plume]

anyone experiencing fuling villages not spawning fulings properly? sometimes they're empty, other times only a few spawn and the rest spawn later. what gives?

and what's up with this ugly shit? i keep seeing it everywhere in plains. is the game broken?

[distant charm]

would iron grates stop a gerydawf spawner stop working? those cage floors

[willow raft]

It shouldn't as it is not in the list of https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base.

[distant charm]

its about a spawner, not natural spawns

i wanna keep bats from events out of my greydwarf farm. but the spawner doesnt spawn if there is a room above

[subtle parrot]

Why would bats matter?

[willow raft]

They are from a different biome and might attack the spawner I presume.

[distant charm]

yes, or me when afk

[willow raft]

Yeah and spawners also get repressed by these things.
Now if you build above the spawner it will stop working probably.

[subtle parrot]

Are the bats an exception like wolf raids?

[thorn spire]

Yes. There’s a bat raid possible once you kill then

[subtle parrot]

Not the question I'm asking

The wolf raids will happen whether or not you're near base items, if the bats don't do that then why would they matter in a grey dwarf farm is my question, to be more clear.

[willow raft]

The raid can happen in the black forest and can't be turned off.
Though if you have less than 3 player base items they shouldn't happen.

[thorn spire]

Good point, @subtle parrot That’s what I was going to say. If you want to raid-proof your greydwarf farm, just keep two base items near it.

Do comfort items like banners and rugs count?

[lilac coyote]

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

[distant charm]

so i guess as i am not seen by the bats we are ok?/ able to get attacked by em

[thorn spire]

Thanks

[willow raft]

Seems so, but a portal and a campfire is all you really need in a greydwarf farm, maybe a workbench from time to time to add chests but put it down, place chests, remove workbench.

[distant charm]

mine works with braziers tho ;x

[rare rock]

Wait I thought greydwarf farms got fixed? Do braziers not take touch damage or something?

[willow raft]

Yeah, hiding in a closed of part is your best bet then.

[distant charm]

if they cant see you, they wont path find to you?

[rare rock]

bath find 👀

[willow raft]

Yes and also no, if you bury them so the fire is still going but they don't touch the brazier it is ok if I'm not mistaken.

[rare rock]

thats wacky

[willow raft]

Don't know, I've always had wolves that took care of the bats.

[distant charm]

burried em

[distant charm]

Or ppuffer fish

[willow raft]

Puffer fish, wolves, buried braziers, archer skeletons, ...

[long ruin]

my game crash when i try to make a server, anyone know how to fix this?

[vague goblet]

Couldn't you build walls and a roof with a hole right over where the spawner is, then place bonfires around the top to kill any bats that might try to path into the hole?

[willow raft]

Crashes as in it won't load, if so give it time at least 5-10 minutes maybe longer, ashlands was a big update and it needs quite some time to load for the first time.

[stable girder]

i can no longer play valheim since this sync cloud is taking too long

how can i fix this? without updating sync or something, only in valheim my game will update something after i play the game, like for data or something bruh

[frail cave]

guys i am getting stopmed in the ash lands rn i have full carpace stuff and take so much damage from mobs even with fire resisteance mead what should i do

[true steeple]

What food and weapons are you using?

[frail cave]

i was using honey glazed chicken and mushroom omelette misthare supreme

[rancid mason]

Had the same issue, I uninstalled and reinstalled it

[rancid mason]

Welcome to the Ashlands

[frail cave]

yeah and i was using the mist walker its just that the damage intake was so much and whats up with the mobs spawn there is sooo many like every inch...

[true steeple]

How are you at blocking or avoiding the hits?

[frail cave]

um pretty good i think my food combo was not it i was running out of stam so fast and regen was slow

[true steeple]

It's a good food combo, that's not the problem

[frail cave]

the stam regen was super low

[true steeple]

Were you rested?

[frail cave]

like cant get away from mobs and fight yeah i was i think

[true steeple]

You can make lingering stamina mead to increase it

[frail cave]

okay how long does it last

[true steeple]

Friendly fire is great for dealing with large groups of enemies. All enemies in ashlands except charred and voltures have it

[true steeple]

5 Minutes

[frail cave]

friendly fire ?

[true steeple]

Enemies in ashlands except charred and voltures can hurt other enemies

[frail cave]

ohh i see

[true zodiac]

Do bases anywhere besides in ashlands need the new force field machine?

[frail cave]

what would be the best combo for 2 stam food and one heatlh from mistalnds

my cooking station is level 5

[true steeple]

Salad, mushroom omelette and misthare supreme? Bread and fish would be a better stamina food but can be quite hard to get

[prisma river]

what boss is after moder?

[true steeple]

Yagluth (plains)

[frail cave]

is the bread and fish thing one meal ?

[true steeple]

Yes

[prisma river]

ooh okay

[frail cave]

okay ill farm for it thats cool i like to spend time for food and stuff ^)^ ty

[stable girder]

i did that for many times

[astral scarab]

Thank you very much for the thorough response

[frail cave]

btw what food do i replace for this fish ?

Where grass

[frail cave]

hey what are the stuff i need to make the fish thing u were talking about again i dont see it in my culdron t)t

[rustic yew]

Anglerfish caught in mistlands using misty bait

[frail cave]

yep got it thanks alot

[rocky sphinx]

why does it say failed to connect when im trying to connect to a completely normal server ive connected to already

i need an answer very quick please

[true steeple]

The worst stamina food you’d otherwise be using

[shell wren]

hello, i want to ask about bug on the ashland's ocean

I dont know it's a bug from the valheim or because of mod I use. I and some my friends went through the ashland's ocean and suddenly we got stuck and fell to the ashland's ocean.

the boat we use suddenly fell down too

[fathom badge]

Ahh... yeah. With mods you will want to ask in #mods-issues . Mods are not officially supported, so bug reports will be ignored until you can replicate it without mods installed.

[odd tusk]

Why can't you tame a snake?

[shell wren]

ah i see..

[fathom badge]

Because you can't tame everything. You can't tame most things, only a few select creatures.

[odd tusk]

Will it disappear when you die?

[fathom badge]

The serpent? If it was a night spawned serpent it will despawn when you get out of range. If it was spawned from a storm, it'll stay around until it dies.

[frail cave]

first craft sheesh man ash land mob spawn is insane dude they need to reduce it a bit..

[true steeple]

Why don't you have a feather cape?

[odd tusk]

And if u get it when it was a night and a storm?

[fathom badge]

Then kill it or it will despawn as soon as it loses aggro or goes out of render range.

[true steeple]

It might not despawn because it could've been spawned by the storm

[frail cave]

wait i was told thats bad?

[true steeple]

It has fire weakness but fire mead overrides that

so if you have fire mead it's ok

[odd tusk]

Its sad

[true steeple]

You can leave and check if it despawns or not, if it spawned during a storm it might not despawn

[odd tusk]

I and friend die and it despawn

[true steeple]

[wise tendon]

Has anyone started building with the ashwood and noticed using the horizontal 2m pieces on your roof being damaged during the rain?

[uncut mirage]

Isn't that normal behavior

[wise tendon]

Not on the roof, normal wood pieces dont damage

[frail cave]

okay thank you so much

[wise tendon]

Im using the shield generator now to prevent damage

[dire grotto]

There ever a mention of shield generator causing excessive lag?

I put one down in ashlands, and flattened a small bit of ground and now have tremendous lag in my world near it for some reason..

[stable girder]

NO WAYY, i cant start...

does that mean i lost my world? haven't play this game since 2023

[true steeple]

Are there any backups you can load?

[stable girder]

wait

where to find valheim files

[subtle parrot]

Were you using the new boat or just a longship?

[halcyon crag]

in manage saves

[stable girder]

alright done bro

[halcyon crag]

did you find a local save to restore/move to cloud?

[frail cave]

guys does the lighting bow have a chain attack ?

[fathom badge]

There's a pinned post in this channel that describes the save locations of the various files for Valheim.

[chrome shell]

hi everyone, has anyone experienced very very long loading screen after inputting the password when joining a server?
my friend is able to login with no problems but im having trouble going in the server

[loud linden]

Does your friend host the server?

[chrome shell]

Actually I do, its on a mini pc we own. i just logged out for a bit since the fps was so low, but now I can't join

its just stuck here

[loud linden]

Sounds like you're asking too much of your PC.

[chrome shell]

so its more of a hardware issue?
im running an rtx 4060ti if that helps

[loud linden]

Ok, I might be wrong. I'd suggest trying to do everything you normally do solo. Then add other people connecting, and build up to where you want to be and see where it falls down.

[chrome shell]

just to add a bit more info, i actually got in 2 attempts ago but I enabled a mod which we don't have on our server and is outdated.

[loud linden]

#mods-issues is that way... -->

[chrome shell]

yea i just asked here since i think its not because of our mods since my other friends can join.
its juts wierd that when enabling the outdated mod is the only way i get in (can't interact with anything tho while its on)

[buoyant peak]

Nope, of all lightning-enchanted weapons that one is literally the only one that for some reason doesn't have the exact same effect all other lightning-enchanted weapons have

||Yes, it does have it||

[frail cave]

So you mean the double and has it ?

Oh okay 👍 but the proc is very rare right ?

[buoyant peak]

Should be 25%

So... Maybe. Depends more on attack speed

A weapon with fast attack speed will proc it more frequently

[frail cave]

Can someone please name the food combo he is using here thanks

Ty

[sharp anchor]

Noob question: How can i make my building floor that dandelions doesnt pop up through floor? 😢

[turbid mantle]

Flatten with hoe

Or path rather

Oh wait dandelions you might have to lower the ground at the point of the dandelion

[loud linden]

I've got dandelions growing through paved roads. Are you telling me that 'pathen' stops that?

[turbid mantle]

Nope that’s the oh wait part because I clearly talked about it as if they asked about grass

[sharp anchor]

Flatten didnt help in that :/

[loud linden]

Pro tip: If we're talking about a long-term base, build it raised above the ground (2m is enough). Then you can put workbench/forge/etc. expansions under the floor; place stone to bring fires to building level, use the floor as a plane to build chests for storage... it's legit.

[sharp anchor]

Well that raised thing didnt work for dandelions either :/ Dunno if the Pathen helps with that.. Yeah im trying to make also basement so doesnt bother that much if dangelions get there..

[loud linden]

You've misunderstood 'raised'. I mean build it on stilts. The ground can grow dandelions to its content; your room floor is essentially floating.

[sharp anchor]

oh you ment above ground?

gotch ya

[lament scroll]

what’s best door for the ashlands forts? are the new flametal door’s indestructible?

originally I had gotten in with a wooden staircase but finally blew one of the indestructible original doors for east access outside. Kinda regretting that move now.

Er.. easy

[vague goblet]

The fortress doors and the ones we can make are different. If you leave the fortress doors up you can use it as a base that has no easy access points for enemies to get in.

[lament scroll]

Yes exactly as I stated. Thank you.

Guess I’ll make the next fort my main base and use this one as an aux

[flint fiber]

Hi ive gotten back to this game after a couple months i wanted to ask if every new update is implemented into my old worlds such as the ash lands

[true steeple]

Your world will have new updates

[flint fiber]

Ok thank you i thought i had to go over this bronze age thing all over again

[analog crow]

Theoreticly I am where moder altar should be, but there is nothing

[true steeple]

If you used the vegvisir before the ashlands update, you need to use it again or find a new one to get a new marker

[analog crow]

oh, well just moments before that I found new one and it indeed showed me a different location

[true steeple]

Why aren’t you using a silver shield? It can parry and block better than an iron buckler.

[analog crow]

after I got some things from silver I started making my new base so I totally forgot about making new weapons or anything

[lament jay]

Do you know guys if the stone pillar float in the plains ? Or can we destroy only the base and collect the stone from the whole pillar ?

[true steeple]

You only need to destroy the bottom for the whole pillar to break

[lament jay]

Hum, we might have missed one hidden part

[analog crow]

It can just be floating on something invisible but usually if you destroy ground in wide enough radius it will fall down

[lament jay]

Thx, it was just a part we missed before

[full jolt]

hey, i got a question about ashlands on my map, how do i put spoiler blur on the photo i want to show?

[true steeple]

When the image is shown above the text input after attaching it, click/tap it and you should have the option to spoiler it

[full jolt]

|| alr, ty, is it me, or the 3rd suspicious place is in a rock???? how am i supposed to do it||

[true steeple]

||That rock is part of the building, break in like the others||

[full jolt]

||rly? is it another spawner?||

[true steeple]

||There is a spawner like the other locations, but the rock is something else||

[full jolt]

alr, ill try surviving, lol

alr i did it! that was worth my journey lmao

[true steeple]

So you have all 3 dyrnwyn parts now?

[full jolt]

yep

for the spawner, tho, i think i hear it in the rock the structure spawned it

[raven shard]

Hey we're getting a problem with ashlands where the land just isn't appearing for some people but is for most others. we've validated the files but has anyone else come across this bug?

[crude dove]

Modded? Loading issue?

[raven shard]

very light mods, server side only. No idea about the loading issue though... is that a problem with the client I guess?

[fathom badge]

Mods are the cause of 95% of the land and other loading issues. You should ask in #mods-issues , or you can remove the mods and see if you can still replicate the issue.

[onyx pivot]

We have got the forest is moving event every night for 3 nights. I don't believe it should happen this frequently. Is this right or is something bugged with our game?

[raven shard]

Ah thank we'll give it a go

[slow orchid]

i cant decide in ashlands whether ||i wanna get the regular flametal or the tower shield|| which would be a better upgrade for the ||carapace buckler|| the former one doesnt seem to have that much better stats with a poorer parry multiplier so idk if i really want it honestly, but the second one does seem to have some awesome stats but ive never used tower shields in my playthrough

[tired notch]

Uhh.. neither of them are much of an upgrade to the buckler, but the round shield is better than the tower one.

[scarlet pulsar]

gotta choose between being able to block more and being able to do more damage after a parry. One guy in my group rocks tower shield and still struggles to block attacks from 1-2 star mobs

[true steeple]

If you’ve never used tower shields ashlands probably isn’t a great point to learn how to use them

[slow orchid]

got it, i'll probably make the regular one then, even if its not that big of an upgrade, it doesnt look as ugly as my current shield lmao

[true steeple]

With late-game starred enemies it’s usually best to avoid the attack rather than block or parry it

[scarlet pulsar]

I agree, my group member is a dingus but wants to play as a "tank". he dies a lot

[slow orchid]

for sure tho u can get away w it w 1 star enemies

[scarlet pulsar]

Some of them have clear wind ups for large attacks that you really shouldn't try to block lol

[slow orchid]

naturally

[tired notch]

If you can parry, the carapace buckler ends up getting 225 block armor whereas the flametal shield will have 189. It does have higher base block armor though.

[slow orchid]

yeah, tho im switching for the flametal one cuz it looks better 😅

[true steeple]

Being able to block well is helpful for keeping your stamina high

[scarlet pulsar]

I know the Vineberries are a bit bugged atm, but is there a way for me to farm them better before they get fixed? I require lots of berries. I have them 4 tall 2 spaces apart and I get like nothing

[slow orchid]

what abt ||mistwalker vs niddhögg|| ? i have the former upgraded to max but im curious abt trying other things

[tired notch]

Mistwalker has frost, which slows enemies—a useful feature when fighting hordes, common in Ashlands. It also deals spirit damage, giving it slightly more overall damage than the Ashland sword against susceptible enemies. || The Niddhogg, at its base, loses to Mistwalker, but you can experiment with gem attachments. Each gem has different effects, so you'll need to assess them yourself. However, many people still prefer Mistwalker for its high damage output and fight management advantages because of frost. ||

[primal dove]

I just planted a ton of them. You get a lot of seeds, so might as well cover your entire base and base wall with them

They apparently attach to torches, too.... found that out accidentally

[tall vector]

heyyy is there a mod or something that youre able to change the drop rate % of certain items, for example just wood and rock?

[slow orchid]

gotcha ty!

[tidal bloom]

I destroyed a ward ||in a dverger base with a cart, will they attack me if I hit anything or break with hammer?||

[latent parrot]

hello, i have a freak issue with valheim. it's crashing my rx580. so far i've tested two other games and it's really odd. it's conking out within a second of launching the game.

[buoyant peak]

Only if you attack them

[latent parrot]

only if you attack them directly, the cart is an indirect trick. you can use the eitr too.

[tidal bloom]

But will they attack me after it’s broken if I damage the base?

The ward is already gone

I repaired the whole base

[latent parrot]

if you use anything but eitr and cart, they will mouth you off then become hostile

[true steeple]

Dvergr don’t care about the base once the ward is gone

[tidal bloom]

Okay great. They are so friendly I didn’t want to have to fight

[latent parrot]

any idea how i could run valheim in safemode of some sort?

if i try to turn it on, it's going to freeze my pc entirely, then shut off my second screen and flash the screen on and off.

game is 100% vanilla

did a file integrity check.

pc is freshly updated both on gpu and OS.

[scarlet pulsar]

My server is starting to lag. What can I do to fix this? I have a lot of 2 star wolves in my base and breeding Askvins now if that is a contributing factor.

No Mods or anything like that

[split pike]

Does anyone know a player going by name cheeseballer

[slow orchid]

can someone explain weapon numbers to me? like damage numbers next to the damage range and shield block numbers along with the yellow numbers

[visual radish]

The yellow numbers are the values based on skill level, while the main numbers are the base values for that item. For weapons the actual damage you do will be the base damage at level 100, and will start off lower than that at level 0, while for shields/blocking you start at the base values and increase from there.

[raven shard]

just fyi, you were correct mods were causing the issue. Thanks for your help!

[fringe sundial]

If you are on PC, check using f2 what your instance count is. Most systems will struggle if you are at or above 50k. My potato doesn't like anything above 20k.

[summer canyon]

anyone know any good ways to fast-track a new player into magic? I found my group's playstyle relies heavily on my high-level blood shields and fireballs. I'd like to get a player into magic to ease the load and while I could make a greydwarf AFK farm to facilitate bloodmagic levelling, idk the best way to level elemental magic

[scarlet pulsar]

50k instances? I'm only seeing like 10k in my base. I do have A LOT of 2 star wolves tho. I assume that's part of the issue

[fringe sundial]

Might be. Honestly, since it's on a server, asking here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might get you a more indepth answer.

[scarlet pulsar]

since I'm hosting it myself I didn't think it counted as a dedicated server

[fringe sundial]

True, but it is a server nonetheless.

[hollow mantle]

If you are running the server independently than the client, it qualifies for dedicated server.

[copper moth]

Sealed Tower not in location hildr marked. is it possible to reset hildr's quest? I'm curious if this was due to ashlands update

[hollow mantle]

The dedicated server is actually a completely separate app from the Valheim client (in the Steamapp store they actually have two different IDs).

[scarlet pulsar]

I dont think I am, I just hit the Start Server button and put a password if friends are going to join

[still solar]

My friend died and lost his tomb, why? (he fell from the server after dying)

[fringe sundial]

Likely it was due to ashlands. Reset the markers by interacting with her again(like the first time).

[fringe sundial]

De-sincronization is the most likely culprit. That can also cause things to duplicate. What/how it happens exactly, I don't know, but I have heard of that issue and sincing being the reason (before).

[hollow mantle]

It might speed things up to run the server on a separate machine...but eventually you will reach a limit to how much data can be handled by your client and piped across the network/internet that will slow things down. If you are playing by yourself (and not with friends) do you get less slow down? But otherwise, moving it to a dedicated server and having it run on an independent machine may speed things up, but only if your current system is getting too bogged down by running both the server and the client simultaneously.

Is there a dev command that will eliminate loot just left on the ground? I wonder if you have a lot of stuff just laying about, if running this command might give you a bump too...until you fill it all back up. Less things to render and hold in memory usually means better performance.

[fringe sundial]

Devcommand "removedrops"

I use it a lot while building and usually turn auto-pick up off because there are drops everywhere.

[still solar]

the game could be better at this, playing 80 hours and losing the loot in the end game is not cool, devs should worry about this years after launch.

[fringe sundial]

Not much the game devs can do when the server randomly decides not to communicate (drop packets) and the game tries to correct for the lost information. It's kinda like the butterfly effect. The longer you are not in sinc with the game, the worse the errors could become...but that is a very uneducated guess at best for what you/your friend went though. On the bright side, devcommands exist so anything lost can be replaced instantly.

[copper moth]

what other things will that do that i should be aware of?

[still solar]

which command?

[fringe sundial]

It just picks up anything that has those sparkles and basically deletes them within a certain area...much like you throwing something into the ocean and it disapearing in game.

[fringe sundial]

Devcommands is a "cheat" that you can enable if you are playing solo or are the admin of the server.

[still solar]

ok but what command do I use for my friend to return with the lost items?

[hollow mantle]

There aren't any commands to return the lost items, but you can spawn new versions of them "spawn <item> <quantity>"...or spawn the materials to make them again.

[fringe sundial]

It would mostly be the "spawn" commands for the items lost. The process and commands are fairly easy to find online.

[terse cedar]

@buoyant wren like this?

[fringe sundial]

That definitely looks like a surtling farm.

[terse cedar]

thanks

[fringe sundial]

Just remember to move the workbench or they won't spawn...

[copper moth]

doesn't work on a ded server

[fringe sundial]

To my understanding, that is correct if playing without mods. Some mod aparently allows devcommands. Not sure which. Might Wana ask around here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[buoyant wren]

Hell yeah man, looking good. As Nev said, don't build anything close to it so you don't accidentally block the spawners.

[hollow mantle]

Yeah...you'll have to move it to a local save, then run the command and then reload it up on the dedicated server....ALSO, it probably won't do much if you don't have a lot of stuff sparkling everywhere.

[copper moth]

just trying to reset hildr quest, we haven't done one yet but the first one wasn't in the location that was marked

[terse cedar]

yea I thought about that after the pic and they spawned as soon as I removed it, worked like a charm

[hollow mantle]

I'm not sure what that has to do with the hildir quest...the reply was about how to remove the loot drops left behind in a world. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding and crossing of conversations here?

[copper moth]

Geaux Tigers!

[terse cedar]

ayyyy

[terse cedar]

why do the 2 kegs on the left work but the 2 on the right say too exposed?

[compact heath]

Maybe something on the other side in front of them making it more sheltered? There are different "rays" coming out of the fermenters at different angles and a certain amount of them have to hit something solid otherwise they come up with the "too exposed" message

[terse cedar]

that's interesting, do u have an idea what the radius is for the rays to hit something?

[misty sage]

Did they patch the ability to change the name of a portal then quickly jump through the "old" one before the change linked up? Was trying to do that the other day to easily change the portal names to something more fitting but it wasn't working. The portal was disconnecting too fast.

[vast coyote]

They did

[misty sage]

That's annoying

[vast coyote]

It was a sad day

[misty sage]

I see why they think it'd be good QoL for players who might not see why it was helpful, but I still don't like it

[still solar]

How do I multiply them?

[vast coyote]

Chicken coop with a little fire tucked away

[still solar]

I don't think I've released this item yet

[compact heath]

its really long these rays, a certain percentage of them have to hit something solid for it to be not too exposed, if that percentage is high enough the keg will work, same for other work stations crafting things but the rays are sometimes a bit different depending on station i think not 100% sure

[inland frost]

There’s an Valheim Dedicated Server Update on Steam. But no patchnotes, no news, not a single word about it from Iron Gate

🤔

[harsh notch]

Games get patched here and there, with no patch notes. Happens all the time.

[still solar]

Does anyone have any tips for fishing?

[cyan bobcat]

My friends on xbox and it keeps telling him hes out of date to join my dedicated server. is this a known issue currently? The server was just updated and he was on PTB for xbox but reverted back and it still isnt working.

i can join just fine from PC

[jovial marsh]

Just wanted to say thanks to the community. I couldn't get "devcommands" to work in the F5 window so I searched through previous chat info here. Looks like typing "/devcommands" into the chat box is the way to turn this on now (=true). Not sure if other people are having a similar experience since the last couple updates.

lol, i spoke too soon. It turned devcommands to true, but still not working. I'll play around with it some more.

[halcyon crag]

commands work fine as always, have you got -console typed in in the Steam Valheim properties, launch options?

[jovial marsh]

Yeah, i have "-console" type into the properties. It's probably one of the mods causing interference. I'll wait a few days and if there are no mod updates I'll reinstall the game.

[halcyon crag]

yeh mods was my next theory xD all gd

[grave ferry]

The Xbox version isn’t up to date with the PC version so they can’t join you.

[stable girder]

this cloud system sucks, it takes too long even after 100%

[terse cedar]

how does a sword require linen thread

[cyan bobcat]

handle wrap. the real question is how does it require 480lbs of black metal to make a sword that weighs less than a pound

[terse cedar]

if you were making it out of scrap that would make more sense because impurities and whatnot, but you're making it out of refined ingots lol

why wouldn't we just use leather for handle wrap anyway

[tepid isle]

For the life of me I cannot find the boss runestone in the Plains, I've searched 3 plains biomes. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[frail cave]

guys whats the mat i need to unlock the nature vershion of the axes?

anyone ?

[terse cedar]

I beat ||modir ||without ever seeing a ||frost cave . Should I go back for fenris set||?

[long sage]

I want my friend help me build in my world
How do i give him nocost and fly permission

[high zodiac]

i have a friend whos trying to join and his valheim.exe isnt responding when he loads up worlds, hes uninstalled and verified the integtrity of the files with no avail

[subtle parrot]

Honestly the only tips, are keep looking, always check Stonehenge circles and if you see what looks like 5 giant fingers coming out of the ground, that's what you're looking for to summon yag

[subtle parrot]

He needs to give it time, not click don't alt tab do nothing and wait, it will load

[high zodiac]

well try it

[subtle parrot]

You cannot without mods

[subtle parrot]

||jade||

[high zodiac]

it worked why did it work

none of us ever have that issue why did it work

thanks so much

[subtle parrot]

If it was their first time, it will do that, it will load normal for them from now

[fathom prairie]

Hey I just want to understand before I begin a new playthrough again. Is ashland out of PTR already?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[high zodiac]

its been happening wasnt a first time

[subtle parrot]

Though they're still fine tuning

[fathom prairie]

Okay thank you! I just want to be sure

Appreciate it regardless!

[subtle parrot]

So they've been to that world since the update to the game for ashlands? If not, that's why. If they had, then idk that's weird

[high zodiac]

new server post release, and he crashed again as well

and his character deleted, its fine we had nothin crazy but we think his character is corrupted

he made a new character and it seems to be fine now

[subtle parrot]

Hope it continues to work

[high zodiac]

thanks for the help

[charred tide]

Not necessary for any sort of progression, but there are a few deco items to get and they are fun to explore

[long sage]

I see, thanks

[urban anchor]

do you have mods installed? does he have the same mods?

[split forge]

hello everyone, just wanted some help regarding the Staff of the Wild.
does anyone know if the roots despawn? i was messing about with the staff and the roots arent going away. theyre getting annoying now.

[rare rock]

takes normally like a minute for them to go away, or perhaps its distance based I am not fully sure

just walk away quite a bit

[split forge]

alrighty then, i guess ill just take a hike

cheers

[hot trail]

If you're only fishing to eat some fish, I recommend fishing on shore and slowly walk inland while fish are hooked. You won't be using stamina since you're not holding right click and reeling the line in, but you are dragging the fish out of the water. Fish become pick-uppable as long as they are completely out of water.

[safe depot]

I have a Valheim server running and my friends say every day for 15 min they can't connect anyreason why?

[finite sorrel]

Same time of day?

[safe depot]

no varrius time of day

[finite sorrel]

You can see their connection attempts in the logs and the reason

[safe depot]

they dont show in the Run bat file

[finite sorrel]

So when it happens they wait 15 mins and they magically can connect?

[safe depot]

yea

my steam will go ofline to

[finite sorrel]

Hmm that sounds like your server is killing your network connection

Running a dedicated server locally?

[safe depot]

yea on my pc

[finite sorrel]

Best to ask in #dedicated-server

[safe depot]

ok

[silk fable]

Do iron and copper (dvergr) cage wall count as shelter?

[true steeple]

Yes, the collision on them doesn't have holes

[fierce sierra]

i have an map made after mistland update and there is no Valheim Hildir's Quest in ashlands, i didn t explore the Ashlands yet, can someone offer some clarification ?

[true steeple]

Ashlands doesn't have anything related to Hildir. There is a new miniboss, but you find him another way.

[rustic orchid]

Could someone Help me Out in Case of Confort Levels. I know how to acheve highest LV. Of Confort but ingame i cannot get IT to max Confort. Is ist couse i added additional Lover LV chairs to my Throne (id hear that If there are to Objekts of the Same Kind the Lower one will BE counted) or could there be another oversight?

[subtle parrot]

There are 2 seasonal items that will raise it to 19, but normal is 17 once you reach ashlands

[fringe sundial]

Also, there is a fairly small area of effect for comfort.

[open rampart]

the heck is wrong with this boat and how do I prevent this from happening?

[rustic orchid]

Oh k thats why

[rustic orchid]

I know 10m

Thx

[still solar]

thx

[distant charm]

best weapons for ashlands, after the queen

[marble roost]

Ice staff and ember staff continue to reign supreme

If going melee route, Mistwalker or himmin afl are great

Sadly the mistlands weapons are largely on par or better than a good amount of the Ashlands weapons :/

[last osprey]

staff of embers kills pretty much everything except morgen (because they're blunt resistant AND fire resistant). For those you can use the frost staff though.
For melee Demolisher is good against hordes of charred and blunt instead of Himminafls pierce so it kills them faster, for asksvin, morgen and valkyries Himminafl rocks though. And Mistwalker is about on-par with Ashlands swords, especially if you factor in the frost-slow on top of just raw damage.

for raw dps against charred and fallen valkyries l4 silver sword actually beats both Mistwalker and the Ashlands swords and also costs 25% less stam to swing.

[marble roost]

They really should have just skipped swords for Ashlands. There's plenty of good early game swords that hold up, and swords are overused / lacking biome skips already

[hoary fog]

Is there currently a bug with a fire debuff dot from the Ashlands boss? We're getting burned by something without finding the source of it .. that aren't the green flames on the ground, it's ticking crazy (fire pot in). Kinda special ability? 😄

[marble roost]

I personally haven't noticed anything. Maybe some wonky lava hitbox somewhere?

[hoary fog]

Must be a very weird lava spot then, no lava in range, but it was ticking like I was standing in. He's down now, but we still don't know where that sick damage came from. We're just having BePinex/CraftFromContainers/SmarterContainers/MassFarming active, nothing else

[distant charm]

carapice armor or magic

[marble roost]

Depends on what playstyle you want. Magic playstyle is the strongest imo, although I'd suggest speed over eitr regen, so maybe 2 pieces of fenris armor could be good

[tepid isle]

Thanks, I didn't realize it would be so hard. I've fought so many camps that I have more black metal than I could ever need.

And it isn't necessarily hard, just taking forever

[fathom badge]

If it helps, I've found Yagluth's altar before finding the vegvisir in like half of my playthroughs. Just keep sailing 😉

[tepid isle]

Wow. I guess it is just super rare that way

I think I'm just going to use the Valkyrie mod

I feel like I've put in my dues already

[lilac coyote]

A mod just to find the altar?

[tepid isle]

It is a mod that lets you fly around the map. And to find the location stone specifically

I've searched 4 plains zones now, though one was tiny, but the rest were large so I'm ready to move on

Strangely only found totems so far on the small one

though on some of the big ones I just ran through the camp

[forest viper]

You can use devcommands to fly if you'd like to not download a mod

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim-map.world/ would also work,

[tepid isle]

Yeah it might be time. I think I know approximately where the altar is. I was trying to do stuff legitimately but fighting camps and tar pits has stopped being fun especially now that I have chests full of black metal

And thank you for all of the help

[sonic thistle]

hello, i accidentally spawned some unbreakable stones using devcommands, is there a way to "redo"?

[wheat moon]

random question, can a skellet summoned with the dead raiser staff be named "Your Best Pal" ?

[sonic thistle]

yep

[vestal tiger]

you could try rolling back your server, otherwise probably not 😓

question about multiplayer difficulty scaling
do enemies get more HP + dmg for:

1. each player that has joined a sever
2. each player that is currently connected
3. how many players are near the given enemy?

[marble roost]

Each player within x distance from the mob when it spawns, I believe. Think it's something like 100 meters

[vestal tiger]

gotcha, that seems to line up with what this person was saying:
https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/383200/valheim-multiplayer-difficulty-scaling

[distant charm]

what food would u run, comming out of mistlands

[rigid sail]

I created a world and I can't find it in my world folder. Do you know where it can be ?

[marble roost]

Again depends what playstyle you're playing. If we went for the mage playstyle I'd say 2 eitr 1 stamina. If Melee 2 hp 1 stamina. Specific dish doesn't matter too much just try and grab some mistlands food

[distant charm]

what armor would u run with magic

[marble roost]

Hmm I like to run kinda a melee/magic hybrid, so I'd usually run all the magic staves and a nice melee weapon like mistwalker. 2 eitr foods 1 stamina, 2 pieces of fenris, and then a carapace helmet. Fast, easy to evade attacks, can gun things down with magic, but can also jump into combat with some heavy attacks from mistwalker for massive damage

[distant charm]

ember staff for most?

[marble roost]

Ember staff does pretty well, especially against groups (of which there is a lot). Ice staff is nice for single targets, and skeletons can be good for distracting enemies. It can be especially good going in with melee while enemies are aggroed to a skeleton

And protection staff is of course a must

[fast cypress]

Is there a faster way to sail rather than the raft?

[honest summit]

You can build a better boat with black forest materials

[opal sky]

There are ship upgrades throughout progression in the game, I won't spoil any though

[hallow rune]

Hello,
we have activated crossplay on our Dedi server and now the Xbox players have a red X behind the server in the server selection. What can we do about this?

[real nebula]

What version number is the server running on?

[hallow rune]

With the latest version of Valheim

[real nebula]

Please define latest, as current PTB is a different version from live

[hallow rune]

0.218.15

[distant charm]

feather cape aint smart, is it?

[real nebula]

It should be working in that case as well, can you double check that Xbox players are also on the same version?

[marble roost]

It's not bad. It works very well with mage because it gives you better jumps, which is good for jump casting. And since you have a magic shield all the time the fire weakness doesn't really matter

Plus few mobs actually do fire damage

Askvin cape is also pretty good for raw speed

[distant charm]

havent been to ashlands yet

[hallow rune]

yes

[real nebula]

Is the server itself modded in any way?

Also, have you tried joining via invite code directly? It sounds like you're stopping at the server list

[hallow rune]

The server is vanilla and all Xbox players get to the server selection. The server is displayed, but with a red X at the end. The version is also 0.18.15

[fair pier]

Does cutting trees and mining rocks reduce the number of instances in your base area?

[real nebula]

Have they tried joining via invite code?

[hallow rune]

How do you get it?

[real nebula]

If the server has crossplay enabled, joining the world and opening the pause menu should show an invite code on the top of the screen

[hallow rune]

There is nothing

[real nebula]

Hm, weird

Double check that crossplay is enabled, but otherwise #dedicated-server might have another solution

[zinc tinsel]

Hey , i need a little bit of help. I want to play Valheim on a dedicated Server but every time i want to log in comes an error called: incompatible Version. Does anybody know how to fix that Problem?

[fast cypress]

Update your game maybe

[zinc tinsel]

were? i saw no update on Steam or G Portal

[fast cypress]

Also a question of my own yk how there are many merchants do they sell different items?

[zinc tinsel]

They say everythin is on the newest version

[marble roost]

There's 2 merchants and they sell different items

[fast cypress]

Yeah but I found out that they spawn in different places so when I see them again in a different place will they have a different stock?

[true steeple]

Only the first discovered spawn point will generate a merchant

[fast cypress]

Ig that guy is using a mod

[marble roost]

There's a seed viewer online that shows you like 8 or so potential locations for each merchant. But once you go to one of those locations, they will actually spawn there and then all the other locations will be erased

[opal sky]

Does anyone know a good temporary but effective spawnpoint guide for excursions?

[distant charm]

is a main base in ashland smart/good?

[marble roost]

I think it's pretty fun. I think it's the biome in the game that requires an actual base the least though, but requires little outposts the most

[frail cave]

This only referse to run/jump right?

[true steeple]

That’s for building items (Hammer, hoe and cultivator)

[frail cave]

thansk :)

[shy shard]

Is the Ashlands crossbow worth it ? Looks like it doesn't give a whole lot more than the base one

[stark trail]

Hello fellow Vikings!
I am having troubles this morning getting my valheim game started for me and my freinds to play on my PC via Steam. Whenever I load up my game and start it and select my character, I get a error message saying "Could not log in to PlayFab". I hit OK, and it goes to "logging into playfab..." and then I get the message "Log in with Playfab" I select yes and it cannot connect. I've searched reddit and found a few suggestions for fixes and none of them have worked. So far I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022, 2013, 2012, 2010. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've verified integrity of game files. I've added '-crossplay' to the launch options. Rebooted my modem. No VPN is running. I can login to my game solo, but it refuses to connect or login to PlayFab. Does anyone have some ideas on what needs done to fix?

[wintry flame]

are vegvisirs pre-generated or there is some kind of chance for them to appear whenever i enter a crypt or burial chamber?

[rare rock]

they are seed based

so basically pre genned yeah

[drifting prawn]

You can turn crossplay off and you wont need it i think

or do you need crossplay?

crossplay is to play with friends on other platforms

[stark trail]

I do not get that option to turn off crossplay - the crossplay radio button isn't an option to uncheck unless I have start server radio button checked, but I cannot connect to PlayFab to have Start Server selected to turn off Crossplay. I've even tried to put in the -crossplay command into the advanced options but it doesn't do anything it seems.

[drifting prawn]

cant you keep start server on but turn crossplay off

[stark trail]

I made some progress just now - I had a friend help me get a vpn setup thru their internet and now that I'm running through their ISP I can connect to PlayFab. It seems to be something on my ISP's end that is not allowing the connection to Playfab.

[uncut mirage]

why can't I place the stone portal on marble?

[floral token]

stone as well, been thinking maybe it really needs to touch the earth or something?

[uncut mirage]

bug or feature? because NO!

I mean you build over it soooo ez to overcome but still really annoying

[floral token]

imo, bug

[compact locust]

is it possible to build a greydwarf farm, while still in bronze age? 🤔

I've sooo many spawners xD

[marble roost]

Should be possible before bronze age, it's just a lot easier later in the game

Never built one myself but think you could go catch some pufferfish or tame a wolf to automate the farm. Maybe campfires although I think those don't work anymore

[floral token]

they do, you just need to make sure there's a little bit of clear ground for the mobs to spawn

i raise the ground in one place in the middle to get them to spawn there, then they just walk off into the campfires.

[mint topaz]

If I'm fighting the queen, and I have no portals setting turned on, will I be able to leave and re enter the queen's dungeon or no

[nova grotto]

We are playing with 4 people on difficulty hard with items multiplier x3

For us the game is unplayable because it lags like crazy. Is that due to the mass amount of items laying on the ground?

[fading jackal]

Hi, does anyone know how to solve the problem of "Failed to load <character>, Player data is not compatible, ignoring" when I shift back from public test to normal version

[tacit breach]

IIRC, you have to wait for the devs to merge the two versions.

So essentially a future patch.

Should be a write up about it in the play test channel, of which I am no longer a part of.

My character is trapped in one of the dead end crypt halls, and is only able to swim. There is no path back out, I have tried every possible direction. Is there a way for me to get him out using save files?

[lilac coyote]

Yep, characters and worlds are not backward compatible until the branches are remerged.

[tacit breach]

If what I am reading on line is being interpreted correctly by me, the only save file I would even have for my character is the one made when I signed out of the game. If so, my character is going to die.

[halcyon crag]

you can get the tester role back in id:customize

[tacit breach]

I know. I don't want it. Currently, at least. Maybe later.

[halcyon crag]

if yr char is stuck like that maybe use commands to free it?

[tacit breach]

Oh? I am not familiar with using commands.

[halcyon crag]

you can fly or teleport away

[tacit breach]

Is all the command stuff on the wiki?

[halcyon crag]

i think so

[tacit breach]

I'll look, then. I'd rather not lose skill points. I have skills in the 70's.

[halcyon crag]

fastest method i can give you: go to Steam Valheim settings, properties, launch options and type in -console, then enter game, press F5 and type devcommands, then debugmode, then open the map and press ctrl+middle mouse to teleport away safely wherever you like on the map

[lilac coyote]

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

[tacit breach]

Thanks guys. Hello Derek!

[sage vigil]

quick question for you people. so i just found out im still playing on the public test for the game, and i decided to finally get off of it. well when i loaded up the game the character i was playing on in the public test is not popping up at all. i didnt know if there was a way to fix that so i can play on my main character without being on the pubic test server?

[narrow wagon]

How do you kill moder? I'm playing on the highest difficulty with a friend and while we're able to slowly kill him, a stone golem ALWAYS spawns no matter what we try. We've filled the entire area with workbenches, but they just don't care and keep spawning. While they're not super deadly, they chase you around eternally making one player pretty much unable to do anyting.

A single mistake and you get one-tapped by moder too.

[tacit breach]

Woohoo! I'm free! Thanks again!

[halcyon crag]

afaik not until the PTB version hits live, just play the PTB till then

[terse cedar]

can u fish with weapons?

like bow and arrow

[rain stag]

Ashland staffs seems to be terrible for ginding EXP? What's the best way to grind up elemental magic?

[lilac coyote]

Grinding XP isn't really a Valheim thing to be honest.

[karmic jetty]

No, but u can try give sword to the fish and then fish become warrior with 8 packs that would instantly kill All bosses

[rain stag]

Does upgrading my ashland weapon with gems not carry over the quality?

[terse cedar]

Aye worked for the crab

[buoyant peak]

Nope

[rain stag]

Alright, I got no gems yet but what should I put on my Ashland Bow?

[sterile nest]

does anyone know if the Bloodstone enchant works on missing % health or flat missing health points ?

[buoyant peak]

Lightning for extra damage as compensation for enemies' pierce resistance.

Or nature to paralyze enemies and finish them with melee

[buoyant peak]

Fixed amount: Each point of hp lost gives 0.2% extra damage

[sterile nest]

oh ok tysm !

[frosty pine]

why tf my server lag so much in ashlands
i got 3 people it says its only using 2/4 gigs of ram

[willow torrent]

Will the game run smoother if I opt out of PTB?

[unreal lynx]

Any reason my old worlds are just not loading in the new version of the game?

[halcyon crag]

unlikely, more likely you soft-lock yr character like others have done and have to go back to it until the live version drops anyway 🙈

[halcyon crag]

older worlds can take a lot longer to update with the new code

where is it getting stuck?

[unreal lynx]

The loading screen. It is just black.

[halcyon crag]

i have the little hammer icon swirling in the bottom of mine, it always laods eventually

switching the Valheim install to a SSD can also help with load times, if you didn't already

[willow torrent]

@halcyon crag yeah no I already found my character wasnt transferable back.

Just didn't knownif I wad doing myself a disservice by staying on the test version

Like will it recieve same updates or will it always bs slightly buggier? No clue myself

[halcyon crag]

nah, PTB patches only last 2 weeks max anyway before they go live, unless something major goes down

[willow torrent]

Well if I opt out of xbox insider i losy my character

[halcyon crag]

in theory it should be the best available with the latest fixes

[willow torrent]

So I thought they're still seperate. Idk it's confusing lol just unsure.

[halcyon crag]

"steady as she goes"

[tidal bloom]

Suddenly my friends keep getting disconnected? Not losing wifi

[halcyon crag]

someone with bad connection getting chunkmaster and throwing the rest off maybe

[crude dove]

Is there a performance fixes checklist? I've messed with settings and have a good graphics card but since Ashlands have terrible frame drops I'm sure this comes up every day

Is Windowed fullscreen/ fullscreen/what's best and is Vulkan superior?

[halcyon crag]

several on yt, i've tried all the fixes and fps does seem down across the board for me at least, others have said Ashlands is the same as you desrcibe

[crude dove]

And what's the performance mode for the rest of check boxes that aren't obvious

[halcyon crag]

Panjo and Kysen Valheim fps guides were the ones i followed, they list all the small checkbox stuff in them

[crude dove]

Thanks

[untold edge]

buddy is running 218.16 and i'm on 218.15 - he is on xbox i'm on pc, anyone know why i can't update to that version? i cannot join his server as it says i'm running an incompatible version of the game

[unreal lynx]

Yeah, when I load my old worlds, I just get stuck on the black screen with the word "Loading..." and nothing happens. Did the ashlands break them?

NVM. It works.

[hoary jasper]

hey all... I heard something about the mountains looking weird as a sign your old save isn't good for the latest update... I played this way before Mistlands.. is this a clear indicator or just a rocky mountain?

Just looks a bit rocky, but wasn't sure if it'd be worth staying on this world or starting a fresh seed... I just have lots of bases and stuff on this one.

[pulsar juniper]

uhh so...an ashlands keep we found had a green light. it was brand new. doors not sieged. we died trying to get in, so logged out and came back the next day. light is gone but didnt pay attention. inside, the loot chests are gone

[sand yew]

what does this mean?

[viral narwhal]

218.16 is a public test version. Read the patch notes for more info and how to update

[supple panther]

Bad connection/disconnect

Usually means that you're going to get kicked out of the server you're playing on...

[sand yew]

how to fix cuz it hasnt happened until i played valheim

[supple panther]

I think it's a "valheim problem"

Sometimes it just does that. And I don't think there's anything you can do about it, but I'm not 100% sure

And sometimes after throwing the player out of the server, it doesn't always let you jump back in immediately...

It can take up to several minutes for you to be able to play again, which is really annyoing

[sand yew]

im not on a server but im playing with my friend

[supple panther]

Yep. You're online, so it can still happen

[sand yew]

damn, thanks for the info

[supple panther]

My pleasure.

[atomic dock]

tips to flatten land faster? Making 3rd base near Mistlands at a Black Forest, but it's very hilly near water and I want a dock for transport

so going further inlands to find flat land is a no go

[plush knot]

i thought asksvin were immune to lava damage?

[terse cedar]

how do I whistle to call my mount?

[plush knot]

thats not a thing

[viral narwhal]

It might be the lil sparks that come out of the lava that hit him

Not 100% though

[harsh notch]

That's neat. if you try to do a modifier or set key that is not recognized on a dedicated server, when you try to select the server in the list, it displays an error of the server is running an older version of valheim.

[sweet crescent]

on averege how much meat and time do you need to tame one zero star wolf?

[knotty sentinel]

hey guys, attempting to join a server. it continues to come up with failed to connect and shoots me back to the menu. it doesnt even come up with the option to enter the password. (im on xbox aswell) any help would be great

[edgy spade]

can you create portal in asshalds ?

wont it dissolve ?

what should i do when i first land in ashlands and how to secure a spot in it for portal ?

[compact heath]

you can, a normal portal can be destroyed by the environment and the wood turn to coal if it gets hit, you should bring a shield generator to protect it

[edgy spade]

how to get shield generator ?

[compact heath]

I recommend bringing materials for a shield generator, and also making your first portal far enough away from land on one the pillars, that way only voltures and bonemaw will be attacking. I'd bring at least 3 portals and put on different spots during landing operation, do not make landfall at night

[edgy spade]

will stone burn ?

[compact heath]

have you touched and made the new stuff that comes from what "queen drop" used to be?

[compact heath]

if hit by flying fire spark thing, yes, unless its protected by shield generator

[edgy spade]

ooh ty

[sweet crescent]

someone?

[compact heath]

I think 30mins, in terms of meat not sure less than 10

[sweet crescent]

damn thats all?

second qustion is tame speed effected by sleeping like smelting speed?

[compact heath]

yes, taming does not proceed while sleeping, it will pause, if the wolf is not alerted you will only need about 4 meat, if he is alerted during the time it will be longer than 30minutes and need more meat

[sweet crescent]

oh so thats why my wolf is taking so long

[rain stag]

I think the number onething to learn for any newbie to conquer Ashlands is that your very first base you built shouldn't be a beachhead but a rock spire abit further away or submerged ruins and then you build a bridge across that you can easily defend. You guys agree?

[compact heath]

I did one on a spire with ruins on it, relatively close to shore, in hindsight maybe a bit too close, then on the actual land I built another 2 portals straight away, during my first 3 days of fighting some of the portals got sometimes destroyed for a small amount of time, so had to rebuild them. worked out in the end

[shut mica]

my friend told me that because they played in alpha, they can build maypoles and yule trees all year round. is this true? can't find any info online

[true steeple]

I don't think this is something alpha players can do as I've never heard of it but I could be wrong

[pliant lodge]

i've never heard that either, but there are mods you can get that make the seasonal items available, or you can do it with devcommands

[charred crescent]

What is bad about building on the shore? Do you get more enemy spawns or something?

[rain stag]

You have to defend from all angles and Morgans/Lavablobs spawn in to ruin your day on a beachhead. There's a lot less enemy spawning in if you built further out as insurance first then go in deeper when you get to serious base building.
You only need a shield generator, workbench and portal first on this base. The 10 bones will last a long time againest embers alone.

[charred crescent]

So there are a lot of spawn points along the shore, and fewer inland?

[polar glen]

Kick question. Can you use Lingering Stamina Potion and Lingering Healt potion at the same time?

[rain stag]

No, it's even worse inland. You just make the shorelines slightly safer when you clear the spawners

[charred crescent]

Still not understanding the logic of "Don't build your base on the beach." I recently defeated the Queen and will make my first trek to the Ashlands soon.

I don't mean to be combative, just trying to understand: What are the negatives of building a starting outpost on the shore as soon as you reach the land?

"You have to defend from all sides" doesn't make sense - you have to defend from all sides inland as well.

Are more enemies going to attack a shore base than an inland base? Are there specific natural structures that you really SHOULD build on to take advantage of, and those structures just aren't on the shore?

[buoyant peak]

Yes

What you cannot use is lingering stamina and stamina mead or vice versa. Same for lingering hp and hp mead

Cooldown is shared between types of potions

[last osprey]

It's not a question of "on the shore or inland". The idea is to build your base on the spires in the sea off the Ashlands coast instead of on the shore proper. That way you're unreachable by melee enemies and only have to deal with voltures. And they're not particularly difficult enemies.

You can achieve pretty much the same thing with a ring of terrain walls on the shore though, you just have to deal with the enemies there while setting it up.

[charred crescent]

Ah, I see. So when you're first establishing an outpost, and all you have are a portal / shield generator / workbench, there are big advantages to building on the spires away from land to avoid having to defend against the melee enemies.

Once you feel more established, and want to build a larger base, you can move more inland, keeping your spire base as a backup portal or something.

Sounds about right?

[open rampart]

can I build on top of leviathan?

[charred crescent]

I can see myself doing Spire Base -> Ring of Terrain Base.

[last osprey]

Pretty much, though in Ashlands "build a large base inland" generally means "take over a fort" ||(since their walls are indestructible and come with indestructible armor spikes, so they're ideal base/outpost locations)||.

[potent oxide]

I made a surtling farm but they arent spawning. Like once per 15 minutes

any ideas on how I can fix this

[mystic solar]

That is normal. Find several surtling spawners, dig around them to have water so spawns die asap, and connect them all by a portal chain. Run along chain, pick up loot every so often.
Afk farming surtlings isn't very efficient.

[distant charm]

do stoneportals need to be connected to other stone, or cna it be wooden one

[supple panther]

It can be a wooden one.

[distant charm]

so with 1 stone u can basicly tp around the world with metals

[supple panther]

The portal you're going through, has to be stone. And yes, you can.

[rain stag]

Sorry for the delay but basically yeah this. The actualy sea voyage is horrible and I would only want to do it once to make a portal.

[silver creek]

branch keeps ruining my farm is there a way to fix it?

[solid gull]

pick it up💀

[silver creek]

thanks for info I should also know when it spawns XD

[visual gulch]

i rebound capslock to act as escape in my OS, but valheim still requires me to use escape, pressing capslock doesn't trigger escape. any solutions?

this is driving me crazy

setxkbmap

[distant charm]

when do hostile mobs despawn?

[tawny pagoda]

is there a way to plant or collect smokepuffs quickly?
or are they just spawning totally randomly and there is no way to have a lot of them?

[dark cargo]

random stone pieces in my fort are going to 1/3 health and they do have roofs above them... anyone know?

[last osprey]

you can't plant them, but they can spawn in fairly big clusters. Just mark them on your map when you find them (they always respawn in the same places) and over time you'll get an idea where to gather them. One of my outposts has ~20 or so just within viewing distance, it's all RNG.

Easiest is to just run around the shore, that way you don't have to deal with asksvin or fallen valkyries at all and they spawn there just as much as inland.

[tawny pagoda]

thanks man this is just what i wanted

[true steeple]

Enemies that only spawn at night or are part of an increased spawn cap at night will despawn at day

[distant charm]

the rest NEVER despawn or reset?

[true steeple]

They also despawn if spawned by a raid but otherwise they won't despawn

[distant charm]

welp thats gonna make item retreavel fun

[subtle parrot]

Usually

Make back up gear and you'll be fine

[subtle parrot]

Do you have an eitr refinery? Stone doesn't weather, but the refinery will damage random pieces. Otherwise maybe some mobs come and smack your walls. Can't really think of anything else

[distant charm]

||can u get into the middle tower without a battering ram? in a ashlands fortress||

[prisma tide]

can boars still not be tamed near fire? but once they are tamed it's ok to be near it?

[subtle parrot]

Correct

[distant charm]

do you know about my question

[carmine river]

Do swords do slash damage only, and any elemental effects it has, or are their heavy attacks considered peirce damage

[subtle parrot]

I've never tried, I just assumed you couldn't and would go under, but i think i saw something about fixing that. And i haven't had time to play this last couple weeks.

[rain stag]

All slash damage

[carmine river]

So then I would assume the pole arm spin attack still does peirce as well

Kinda funny

[distant charm]

basicly always carry around a bit of iron for the cutter and ur ok

[rain stag]

Only the sending portal needs to be Stone. You can send metal and the materials for another stone portal to where ever you need to send back metal

[distant charm]

yeah thats fair

[last osprey]

you can still dig under the central tower

[distant charm]

nope,. not anymore

what are u guys fav gems?

[potent oxide]

I have a question. My friend, everytime he joins me hes wifi crashes and it only happens to him not the others who also joins me. And it doesnt haoppen when he hosts or in any other game. Anyone know a fix to this?

[distant charm]

are black metal pickaxes/axes the final ones for harvesting?

[true steeple]

Jotun Bane is better than black metal axe

[distant charm]

thanks

[raw dagger]

I'm sorry what?

[alpine yacht]

not shure if i agree? these are both at lvl 4

[sturdy folio]

That's an old April fools joke - 2-3 years old now? 😄

Never actually a playable version

[real nebula]

Not yet

[true steeple]

For harvesting (Which is what Rickert asked about), the Jotun Bane does more chop damage. Check the wiki or try chopping trees with both of those.

[alpine yacht]

fair.. diddent feel much difference when i tried it though

any vineberry farm videos?

[frail cave]

I have a chicken farm like this, but the chickens only eat once.
I have to go pick up the food and drop it down again so they eat.
Can anyone help me with this?

[distant charm]

cant you place a stone portal on floortiles?

[ember siren]

does anyone know if theres a mod that shows how much dmg each person dealt to a boss

like the mod in terraria

[real nebula]

[frail cave]

anyone? pls

[ember siren]

ah mb

[raw dagger]

Ohh
That's cool anyway
👌

[distant charm]

is it feastable to clear a bit part of mist with whisplifhts?

[fringe sundial]

Posable? Yes. A small area. Feasible? Not unless you are using devcommands or mods (or have a literal ton of materials) .

[distant charm]

devcommands like?

[distant charm]

are mistlamps not good?

[buoyant peak]

They are considering how cheap and don't need a work station

[fringe sundial]

@distant charm They work (mistlamps) but don't clear out a large area of mistlands fog. The commands are mostly so you don't have to look for materials.

[frail cave]

My chickens aren't eating, they eat only once.
I have to go and throw down the food again and only then will they eat.

Anyone know why this might be happening?

[fringe sundial]

I have never run into a issue with hens not eating when "hungry". Does it say hungry when they aren't eating? Could it be because the food type/where it is placed? I know they need a certain amount of space to eat, according to a lot of rumors, might the enclosure be to small?

[frail cave]

They only eat once, when I initially drop the food, I can drop them an entire stack and they'll only eat 2. And when their hungry I need to go and pickup the food and drop it again.

[fringe sundial]

The only requirements that might be a issue that I can find is "The closest valid food item within 10 meters can be reached with pathfinding." If the hens can't cross over the iron floor piece, that might prevent them from eating if the food is on the grate.

Because it would break "pathfinding"

Mind you, this is just a guess based on what the wiki provides and your circumstances.

[distant charm]

best way to farm iron when hitting ashlands

[fringe sundial]

Aparently, putrid holes (ashlands equivalent to troll caves) used to have a chance of iron. Not sure if that it still true.

On the other end, just going back into the swamps and looking for crypts might be easier because you are over-geared for the biome at that point.

[distant charm]

what d devcommands

[distant charm]

and with the portal i gfuess makes it easy

[fringe sundial]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console?so=search is a link regarding the devcommands/ developers console. They are basically cheats that you can enable but are unavailable unless enabled.

Specific, the "spawn item" command to get the materials you need to make a bunch of whisp lights/torches. You could also just enable debug mode and use "no build cost", which would be easier.

Nah i'd prefer to find it naturally haha just was wondering if i was missing something obvious

nope! some find em in 10min some not for hours

[keen agate]

I'm fairly new to the building in this game, so I am wondering if anyone can tell me how I can make that top red'ish one (the stone wall that I am looking at in one image) green or yellow, as you can see, I have tried putting log pole's there to help with it's stability, but I can't seem to get it too work, any help would be appreciated🙂

[quartz cairn]

your best bet would be using iron. more detailed explanations -> https://youtu.be/hF_J_DBs4vg

[keen agate]

thank you :)

[keen agate]

also, I forgot to ask, but you seem to know some stuff about building, when some stuff are like, completely red, can they just suddenly break over time, or is it only if I place some stuff or do something like that? (If I leave red building alone, will it break after a period of time)

[elfin isle]

Any of you ever see spawn point in Ashland that cannot be destroyed?

[subtle parrot]

You don't have to plug a file into the site, i also play on xbox. In order to put the file on the site you'd have to go onto a computer and use the game pass app to load up your cloud saves to save locally and then you could upload the file to the site that way. But you should be able to plug your seed into the site and it should work.

[elfin isle]

Just met one tonight. We keep attacking but there is no damage done to the spawner.

[quartz cairn]

red will not break iirc, but you cannot build on / attach to red.

[keen agate]

ty

[upper oyster]

can i get some help

[subtle parrot]

Sounds like desync or something. Have you tried all logging out and logging back in and then trying?

[upper oyster]

pretty much played valheim before, n everything, but cant make a new world, its stuck on loading until it freezes

[distant charm]

what are u guys fav ways to get the new stones from ashlands

[quartz cairn]

this question comes up here daily - give it more time, can take up to several minutes to finish loading.

[upper oyster]

it literally crashed after i give it time

also leave the help for actual helper not u a random kinda pathetic

[lilac coyote]

I'm sorry? Everyone is allowed to help.

[subtle parrot]

Crashed or said "not responding" if you click around or alt tab it'll not work correctly

[slow orchid]

what does heat resistance precisely mean?? i cant find anything on it in the wiki

[floral walrus]

Anyone have any suggestions as to fixing my constant crashing? i've tried lowering all my settings, limiting framerate, disabling steam overlay, running in administrator, verify game files, reinstall, windows reinstall, windows upgrade from 10 to 11, undervolting my GPU, disabling adaptive boot tech in bios, disabling multicore enhancement and enforcing all limits on cpu, overclocking my gpu, enabling/disabling XMP, i've tried vulkan mode, i've tried other new characters, new maps, with and without mods. I seem to have tried everything under the sun and NOTHING has helped. I look for more solutions try them, play then nothing, not to mention the amount of combinations of different settings across all of these fixes I've tried

[long relic]

have you updated your device drivers?

[floral walrus]

yes, i've also tried downgrading too

now that i think about it the only thing i havent tried on that end is the studio drivers

[long relic]

no idea, though i will say this: once I had some serious wonky issues with an older PC, turns out the contact gel on the heatsink to the cpu had worn dry and cracked so i was getting all manner of stability issues

[subtle parrot]

is there a command to switch to immersive mode with console

[floral walrus]

i've blocked the person who asked me to dm them. the way they were claiming to be able to fix it and specifically said to "ask for help" in the dm was very fishy as well as their account being only 5 months old and they've only sent 1 message in this discord and it was to me. they claimed to be helping many people here apparently. if anyone has any suggestions about my crashing problems i'd be grateful

[buoyant wren]

So how do you guys deal with Ashlands? I have a semi-solid outpost on the beach, but I can't see myself making outposts further in-land, the spawns are just too nutty even with spawners being destroyed. Do y'all just run past most enemies until you get where you wanna go? I feel like it would take all day to get anywhere if I fought everything.

[charred crescent]

Is there an established way to kill Charred Warlocks on the top of the central tower in a Charred Fortress?

[turbid mantle]

I don’t kill everything on the way to where I’m going from Black Forest on

[charred crescent]

Assuming you're on Windows, does your Windows Event Log say anything? Just the application crashing? Any other events in the System or Application log around the same time as the crash?

[subtle parrot]

Arrows or build some stairs up there if you can manage

[stark urchin]

||hey guys someone mentioned you could take askvin through stone portals is that true?||

[charred crescent]

Eggs can go through portals.

[stark urchin]

spoilered due to ashlands content question

aaaah okay ty so i gotta breed em

[floral walrus]

nothing thats indicative of another program running causing the crash, crashes are just during random invervals of play. i just watched a video about the current issues with 13th/14th gen intel processors and asus motherboard. apparently there's a performance issue with them particularly when overclocked and also asus motherboards weren't applying the correct factory settings which were causing incorect power management of the cpu. i just updated my bios now and set things to factory settings and will see what happens from here

i have a 14th gen intel processor and a rog strix z790 mobo

[charred crescent]

I assume you have some hardware monitoring software running. Does your GPU or CPU get too hot when the crash occurs?

[floral walrus]

temps arent an issue, though my gpu usage cranks up to 100% usage with valheim specifically but everything i've read online says that that's not uncommon and also valheim uses a lot of lighting

[charred crescent]

Valheim allegedly creates a dump log for crashes in C:\users%username%\AppData\Local\Temp\IronGate\Valheim. Check there for any .log or .txt files you can open and read?

[floral walrus]

i've looked at the last 4 logs comparatively to each other and there's nothing that i've noticed that is causing a crash specifically

i've got crashes during mining, building, fighting, exploring. like i said earlier, they seem totally random and i've made a habbit of saving regularly due to it

[charred crescent]

Well, I'm at the point where I'm just googling on your behalf. You probably ran across this already, but someone on a Steam community thread said that this reddit thread fixed their crashing issues. No idea if it will work. Sorry I can't help out any more, but this sounds like an Irongate Tech Support issue. 😦

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/lmz7qu/follow_up_on_a_potential_fix_for_valheim_crashing/

[floral walrus]

yeah i've seen that reddit post, no worries trying to google for me man i appreciate it though. my friend and i have been through everything combing for any amount of fixes. im just hoping that this bios update fixed it and the newer intel cpu problems are what was the cause

[charred crescent]

Probably others have run into this too: I've had a couple of crashes in Valheim (who hasn't?), and my character save was fully up to date, but my world save (I'm just playing locally single player) was several minutes behind.

First time this happened, in the intervening time, I picked up some Surtling Cores from one of my chest. When I restarted and game back in, the cores were both in my chest and in my inventory, doubling my cores.

Second time, I put my fully upgraded Frostner into a chest. When I restored, the Frostner was neither in my inventory nor in my chest.

I assume this is just something that happens and you have to accept it, using devcommands to spawn in missing items if you really want to. Is that just the way of things, or is there a better way to keep my character and single-player world in sync together?

[primal dove]

I put up portals on the way, and ||in the forts I conquer||. Lots of little outposts

[buoyant wren]

In the ||forts|| sounds like a great idea. Now I just need to find a way for my portal hub to accommodate lol.

[primal dove]

I started putting them up in my Ashlands base (which is little more than a covered earth wall)

Cause yeah, you'll end up with tons of them

[buoyant wren]

That's actually brilliant. Thank you! And yeah lmao, the entire front side of my outpost has a gigantic earth wall. I sailed to Ashlands thinking I was smart for planning to build a stone fort instead of wood. Little did I know the lava blobs don't care what you build with. 😂

[spare drift]

[honest summit]

[primal dove]

I plan to have to regularly repair the wall, lol

[silver berry]

is there any way to reduce stuttering in the ashlands? its so hard to play near the lava/flametal/fort areas when it constantly stutters every half a second

[rigid sail]

how do I give myself an item ?

[velvet hamlet]

on your singleplayer playthrough

[rigid sail]

server but I'm the host

I mean I rent one

[velvet hamlet]

you cannot use commands other than kick, ban, banned list on on dedicated servers

you would have to download the world file, add it to your singleplayer world folder and then do what you want to do with those commands and upload it back

[rigid sail]

or put my character on a private world and give me the item ?

[velvet hamlet]

yes, if you only need to add an item to your own character

[rigid sail]

yes

20 iron. what is the command ?

[velvet hamlet]

probably something like spawn iron 20

it shows you what the options along when you tipe, so if you type "spawn iron" it should show you everything that starts with iron

[rigid sail]

I'll try

[wet patio]

Greetings! I have defeated every boss up to Moder and Haldor does not show Ymir flesh or Thunder stone. Anyone know about this or am I the luckiest man alive to have this only happen to him?

[velvet hamlet]

you need to buy ymir flesh from and thunder stone from the shop

[wet patio]

By shop do you mean Haldor? I've been to him a number of times and the options are not there.

[true steeple]

Did you defeat those bosses in the same world you’re trading in?

[velvet hamlet]

I'll go check, playing right now

[wet patio]

No. Good question. I have Haldor in a different seed.

[true steeple]

That’s why they aren’t there.

[loud grail]

They have to be dead in the same seed

[wet patio]

Great catch. Thank you. Now I have to go find him 😦

[loud grail]

if they are dead in different seed, doesn't count

No and no

[compact heath]

if you got the marker before ashlands came out it will be wrong, you have to go to a vegvisir to get the correct location again

[compact heath]

Full padded armour is good, barley wine, silver sword level 4 and some good foods and you're good to go, add some 2 star wolves or some lox (all of them tamed of course) as a helping army and it will be even easier

[atomic dock]

any chicken farm design that lets me get both eggs and chicks?

maybe one that gets all the eggs from one hen and all the other eggs become chicks

[upper pebble]

Can make a farm where the fire buff only hits half of the farm so whenever the chicken lays its egg would depend if it hatches or not.

[atomic dock]

oh, that's certainly an idea

i'll test that out

[sturdy folio]

The volunteer staff?

[bronze sonnet]

why am i getting so many frame drops in the ashlands update

[floral token]

Some more info may be useful: inside of the ashlands or outside, is there any weather or buildings around you, etc. The patch notes for PTB do have a performance fix for Gausten pieces apparently.

[bronze sonnet]

made a new world and it just has random frame drops at random times, i can see they obviously changed how the world gens from before becaues of how bushes etc. are loading in, but even when i turn down my graphics it still happens. its prob something to do with a new world and its generation

[floral token]

i've personally not seen much of a performance change with the ashlands update, so not everybody may be experiencing it.

[pine stump]

Hi guys! Has anyone had an issue with locating The Queen boss? Our group cannot find it anywhere, like the whole building isnt popping up for us

[turbid mantle]

If you want there’s a world seed viewer that can tell you where she is but it’ll spoil your map for you

[quick hawk]

so we had two griefers with discord ids: @tardy pier, joined our server this afternoon. Griefed with firetroll staffs and hammers on multiple bases. I have screenshots and recordings for proof.

this is their xbox ids:

@lofty orchid

[pine stump]

We have the location but we cant find the actual building

Like its not where it says where it should be

[rain stag]

You sure that you have keyed in the right seed (It's case sensitive)? The building is a huge fortress, impossible to miss. If you can't find it, maybe use dev mode or find a Runestone in Dungeons to try and get the queen marker on your map

[tawny pagoda]

Hi, I have one question. So me and my friends have just beaten our first charred fortres and we got 2 out of 3 different enchanting stones. Is there a chance that we will not get the third one?(like by beating every other fortreses) (based on what i heard - the third one would be the green one).

[true steeple]

If you do more it's very likely you'll find them all

[tawny pagoda]

oh... so there really is a chance for not getting all of them

[true steeple]

You've only done one fortress.

[tawny pagoda]

yeah

I know but I've only found 2 more

[true steeple]

The chance of all fortresses not having the green gem is incredibly small

I don't think it's rarer than the others

[tawny pagoda]

thanks

I think we'll just try beating all of them

[frail cave]

What would be the best equipment to use in the Ashlands? Including Ashlands level gear. Should I go full on mage, or are melees still viable?

melee is still viable. If you are with a duo or more, try and have one go mage

flametal ore islands don't respawn, do they?

[turbid mantle]

Did you get the location before the Ashlands update? They move with updates I think

[still pine]

Do the longship graveyard sometimes not have a chest?

[true steeple]

They don't always have a chest

[still pine]

Roger Thanks

[chrome owl]

Is there a safe method to transfer a character from one steam account to another?

[noble tapir]

yes, you can move to local on your character, and it's not bound by a steam account

[turbid mantle]

Is it bad my first thought was I wonder if anyone’s silly enough to buy max lvl Vikings

Idk why you’d swap between steam accounts besides to retain your lvls

[atomic dock]

can a hot tub get "smoked out"? My hot tub seems to just go on and off every few seconds

[noble tapir]

i've never seen that, but i'd imagine it's a good possibility it can with there being the little smoke stack

you shouldn't lose any resource besides the inserted wood, so you should be able to just move it

[reef badge]

Is water hitting it ?

[atomic dock]

definitely not lol

and yeah it was getting smoked out, definitely needs space to let smoke go

[reef badge]

Huh didn’t know that could happen

[atomic dock]

happens with all smoke-generating build items apparently

[marsh charm]

Any way in 2024 to remove Runestones? They tend to block the best build spots

[noble tapir]

they are hardened from the soul of odin himself

they shall stand for eternity

[marsh charm]

at least they shouldnt pop back out of the ground after you dug them down

[noble tapir]

there is one mod i see - objectdeleter on nexus - you may look at that

[marsh charm]

eternity underground is fine to me

i give it a try, cheers

[noble tapir]

yah, let me know if that works, i'd be curious as well!

[atomic dock]

is there an 'easy way to filter chicks and hens?

[subtle parrot]

Either gotta build a breeder box or whatever, or keep the chickens away from the fire and move the eggs out to another spot near a fire to hatch.

[atomic dock]

yeah I'm past that point, I'm wondering how to get hens to walk onto my braziers but not chicks, lol

[noble tapir]

try to see if the eggs roll when dropped on a roof

should be pretty easy as long as the hens still feed while on a roof area (if eggs roll when plopped out)

[stray knoll]

any helpers? Ashfang or ripper and what gem embedded you guys is stronger? Thanks guys!!

[atomic dock]

okay, rephrased question: How to automatically cull just hens and not chicks? lol

[subtle parrot]

Not sure that would be possible lol I would just use the butcher knife to slaughter them after they've grown up to hens

[noble tapir]

i have not dared to slice around when hens are with chicks

[atomic dock]

yeah if it's not viable I'll just cull them with butcher knife

[subtle parrot]

Pretty sure the chicks won't get sliced up, but it's been a while

[atomic dock]

the knife is surprisingly accurate ngl

[mystic solar]

I have seen a vid of someone doing that, but it's tricky. Supposedly the chicks have slightly larger hit boxes than the hens, from what I recall. So if you make a kind of grid of just the right size where they wander over, the hens would fall through.
Don't recall exact details anymore, sorry.

[subtle parrot]

Ashfang is good with jade or iolite. Ripper is good with jade or blood. Ashfang is better for quicker shots, ripper takes a while to reload so it's better for sneak shots or power shots at the start of a fight, not great for in the middle of a fight, whereas you could still use ashfang while fighting. Both good options, depending on what you're doing.

[stray knoll]

Thanks for this insight I will jot this down. How about if i Jjust wanted ot take downa fallen angel, what do you thjink should i craft?

[subtle parrot]

Also I'll note that the rippers bolt drop off rate is steep, so you'll have to aim up quite a bit for longer shots

[subtle parrot]

For the valks I've had a hard time hitting them with arrows from a distance, but they're on top of you as soon as they notice you, so I've been using the berzerkirs, with iolite most usually

Jade is also good, your can pin it down and then take pot shots with an ashfang at it up close

[stray knoll]

Lastly, aside from berzerkirs, I already have slayer level 2 (jade), Do you think nidhogg is worth it? and if so, what gem should i embed?

[subtle parrot]

Definitely, I'm not a fan of slayer myself, too slow. Nidhogg is a better option imo. Iolite or jade work well with it.

[stray knoll]

Ageed. just so happens that ive been using slayer because of krom xd and I like the stance of the character. Last question (for real) which is better for you, nidhogg or berserkir and what gems?

[subtle parrot]

berzerkirs, current ashlands character is running around with 3 sets, with 1 of each gem. But I've been running full melee with 3 hp foods and using bonemass when things get really overwhelming, and backing off when i need to. I also carry around an iolite ashfang with carapace arrows, specifically for when I'm sieging forts.

If you want more protection, though with a shield, nidhogg is still a nice option, i did run around like that for a little while too.

[stray knoll]

Again, Thanks for your output. appreciated much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[subtle parrot]

No problem

[frail cave]

Chickens not eating
This is my setup, there's a thatch roof 45 under them with iron bars surrounding them.

They eat only once when you initially drop the food, after that they don't, I have to go pick up the stack of barley and drop it again so they will eat, rinse and repeat. Very tedious and defeats the whole purpose of the farm. I also tried feeding them seeds instead of barley, but that was of no use. What could be affecting it? Was working perfectly fine on a test map.

There's also a boar farm right next to it, but I don't think that that should affect anything.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

[noble tapir]

i ran into the same issue once, could not figure out why chickens wouldn't eat, they were on a raised platform, and i eventually had to take it down and rebuild it entirely

i didn't know they ate barley though, that's cool, i thought it was just seeds

[open rampart]

does Yaglut regeneraate from below 50% hp?

[noble tapir]

i thought all bosses will regen health

[honest summit]

I think all creatures regenerate while you're away. Bosses definitely do.

[open rampart]

we're not away, we're running aroudn but it seems we don't make enough damage

his hp is on the same level for abotu an hour already

we're out of arrows already

[noble tapir]

it's been a while since i had a boss regen health, so i could be wrong, but i thought regen is in-game time based - if you go back to base and go to sleep, i think they regen a lot of health

[true steeple]

He’s pierce resistant, you should be using melee weapons

[dry swan]

Hi guys and gals, need some help. In the last 2 months of playing valheim i'm having trouble playing online. Sometimes i connect to the server of my friend, sometimes i don't. My connection works everywhere else just fine. If i connect to a server i pretty often get disconnected in the first 15 mins. Usually past the 15 min mark it works without disconnects sometimes for a few hours. This happend both on vanilla and moded version but currently i'm trying to play modded run with a friend

[solar marsh]

a question im playing a casual setting world , i would love to aqquire the sap collector , but ofc the mobs dont kill each other , how can i get the sap collector without angering the dvergers , or will the dvergers not get angry with me if i hit the box ??

[quartz cairn]

yes, if you attack any of their belongings they get angry. you can workaround

• by pulling in other mobs that attack the dvergr
• or you throw ||some poisonous fish|| in there
• or you ||drop some refined eitr that slowly spreads damage as well||

• or you ||ram their belongings using a cart||

[solar marsh]

i tried bringing in the seekers and soldiers in, and they didint touch them, i dont have puffer fish , and cant get the refinery to make the eitr balls without the sap , and the box is in the big cart in the enclosure

[quartz cairn]

oh, if you set creatures on passive then you still have option 4

[plain geyser]

Seeker Soldier trophies still need to summon the queen boss?

[solar marsh]

only if you have used sealbreaker , then yes

[finite fern]

does anyone have a seed for a frostcave that has the part where a stonegolem is located, im trying to do some testing and I cant find one T_T

[honest summit]

When (in terms of biome progression) do you decide it's time to build a new permanent base? Or do you just upgrade your first base?
For example, right now I'm done with mountains, and sailing around and dipping into plains to grab some new resources. I'm just just piling up blackmetal in my ship and not sure if I should ferry it home for smelting or find a new place and start settling there.

[distant charm]

do raid armies dissapear after they retreat or do they hang around

[atomic dock]

I usually sail around until I can find a Mountains and Plains next to each other, and set base in a Black Forest or a Meadows nearby

[atomic dock]

they despawn when you go far enough

[distant charm]

how about i die and spawn halfway across the world

[atomic dock]

or you can also log off 😉

[atomic dock]

then they're almost certainly gone

[distant charm]

ashland raids are nuts

[atomic dock]

if they aren't, a log off would yeet them

[distant charm]

specially if ur in a building outfit

[distant charm]

even on a server?

[atomic dock]

they despawn based on distance from player, so no player nearby would mean they get yeeted

so even on a server, yes

[urban anchor]

what do you guys use to replace the Ashland fortress Gate doors ?

wondering if I should knock one downs so that I can easily get in and out and take tames ashsvins inside ...

Open to suggestions

[subtle parrot]

Find a nice spot in the plains and set up camp, plenty of space and mostly flat ground to work with. Can plant everything but mistlands plants there, as well to make a nice big farm.

[subtle parrot]

It's really up to you. But, the flametal gates would be best imo.

[urban anchor]

build new ones you mean ?

(after destroying the original with the siege machine)

[subtle parrot]

Yeh pretty much

[still pine]

Am i dumb for not using wards? against enemies that arent players i mean like greylings

[supple panther]

Wards decrease the damage structures take...

[still pine]

And they repell enemies?

My god what have i been doing

[supple panther]

No, they only decrease the damage

[still pine]

Oh

[fringe sundial]

I thought player wards did count as base items like campfires or work benches...

[true steeple]

I've not noticed this and can't find it on the wiki. Even Hugin doesn't tell us

[still pine]

I literally didnt know that wards were any special besides player protection

[supple panther]

The fact that Hugin doesn't even let the player know about this is quite weird, I feel like It should be mentioned...

[true steeple]

Are you sure they do this?

[supple panther]

I am.

[viral narwhal]

Swear to the gods

[supple panther]

I have tested it, by hitting a stone wall with a weapon, with and without a ward, and there is a difference

[true steeple]

And that's not just from the random damage all weapons have?

[supple panther]

I do really think wards help with the structure damage

[viral narwhal]

I'll go test

[fringe sundial]

If 'rams have set damage, that's one way it could be tested.

[true steeple]

They do

[supple panther]

yeah, that is true

[supple panther]

but I think they're also good for letting you know if something is messing with your base, so I would recommend using a ward either way

[still pine]

Might get a mod for it dunno

[supple panther]

the wards have that nice little ring

[true steeple]

I use wards as decorations

[still pine]

I slapped one down where i have a copper dial in portal so yeah

[viral narwhal]

Nah I see no damage difference with wards

[supple panther]

Oh really? Well that is fascinating

[viral narwhal]

I think you may have just got low numbers by chance?

[supple panther]

I could have sworn... my bad then haha

[supple panther]

Maybe.

Well it was a good thing that you tested it

[buoyant peak]

It doesn't

[frigid bloom]

does the character backup also restore the inventory

[buoyant peak]

Wards only prevent door and chest opening, terraforming and warns you of attacks

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[frigid bloom]

oh thank you

[still pine]

What does upgrading the cultivator do

[visual lance]

Odd question but do Fulings while swimming be able to attack your boat?
The boat's dock at a spot where the water is deep enough for both me and a Fuling be in a swimming state of sorts.

[honest summit]

Only more durability.

[turbid mantle]

Which is honestly so nice while farming

[still pine]

Okay

[supple panther]

Yep.

👍

[fringe sundial]

Enemies are cheaters in water(they can use attacks other than fists while swimming) I have had greydwarfs throw rocks while swimming, so I imagine fulings would be able to throw spears.

[supple panther]

Yeah I've seen that Fuling Berserkers are indeed able to swing their clubs while swimming... its scary lol

[dim vale]

I struggle a bit on a new ashland world to find a suitable starting base plot. From what I've researched it's good to:

• have boar spawns around
• near the dark wood
  I can't find a decent flat area... is it okay to build near the sea and "claim" some sea land by leveling it?

[honest summit]

There's no boar spawners. Runestones and villages are one-time spawns, though runestones are the easiest way to find a two-star for taming and pull it to your base.

[fringe sundial]

I usually throw down a starter base near the initial spawn point. That way I have a quick way to drop off boss trophies when hitting mid/late game.

Any stone that mentions taming boars should have a increase for boar spawn. Being near the dark woods helps with finding the second boss and makes harvesting trees easier but isn't necessary.

[solar marsh]

cant do option 4 , tried it , failed

[dim vale]

this is my experience, too. However beside this, there are no fixed spawns indeed? I marked all the spots I saw boars spawning and in my pre-ashlands experience, I encountered boars there often again after days 1-3 days

[fringe sundial]

@dim vale
There aren't spawners for boars and deer (and the like) like there are for greydwarfs, skeletons and other enemies.

[dim vale]

@fringe sundial @honest summit ty for enlighting me. Had this false information from a video and since then I marked all boar spawns I found 😅

[quartz cairn]

I just tried it out 5mins ago. As a hint: ||destroy the ward first using the cart ramming technique||

[pine stump]

We have the queen marker on our map, that’s what I’m referring to, she’s not in the location of the marker like it tells us, we found a huge building thinking it was the queen but it was just another infested mine and it was far away from the marker

[indigo oasis]

I’m in a Valhost server with friends for the new Ashlands release, and we keep having fulings/seekers spawn in the Meadows/Black Forest even though we’ve reset the boss keys. Is there something else we need to do now?

[tawny pagoda]

How does blood stone work. Because im not sure

[frail mason]

Why is the maypole buildable?

[turbid mantle]

its in season

[frail mason]
