[runic viper]

It gives you 0.2% of damage based on your weapon per every hit point lost from your maximum current hp

Does anyone knows, is where reliable source of smoke puffs? They kinda scattered, can you gather like one stack in one go, like fiddleberries?

[hidden swift]

Hey! I just opened valheim after the update and i was spawned without the boat in the middle of ocean ashlands. I lost all my loot and I cant get it back? Im so screwed

How can I retrieve it safely? the boat gets destroyed so fast

[noble tapir]

You can use Devcommands if you'd like to just grab your stuff.

I can't remember how to activate it, but Google has them

[hidden swift]

thank youuu

Google says i can only use cheats in singleplayer tho

[marble roost]

You can spawn items in single player and then bring them to multiplayer. But should prob see how the others on the server feel about it

[hidden swift]

they want their loot back too

[quartz cairn]

you can build an ashlands-ready ship if you beat the queen...

[hidden swift]

cant beat the queen without loot. gotta cheese it

[viral narwhal]

Is reverting to an old save an option

[sweet crescent]

Please tell me if any of the minerls listed below cannot be mined by an antler pick
Tin
Copper
Chitin (The levvie material)
Scrap iron
Silver

[real nebula]

All but silver can be mined with antler pick

[honest summit]

Only silver. Silver needs iron pick.

[sweet crescent]

alright thanks for saving me the wasted mats

[real nebula]

Although I would suggest making an iron pick for chitin if possible

[sweet crescent]

not past eldar yet

[real nebula]

Antler is not gonna help much when you have a limited time to collect

[sweet crescent]

was just asking to make sure i didnt NEED something above an antler

[real nebula]

Aye, you can very safely skip bronze

[viral narwhal]

But make a bronze pick for the love and support

[pearl moat]

i cannot log in to my character from PTR on a live server. it shows up in "manage saves" but not in character selection, is this a known issue? i find the .fch file in the folder

i have tried to "restore backup" without success

[lilac coyote]

Not really an issue. They aren't compatible.

[pearl moat]

meaning i cannot play that character on the live server regardlesS?

i found a solution, thanks

[viral narwhal]

And what was the solution sir

[spring robin]

he restored an earlier save - before the latest PTR

[bright hollow]

i just killed eikthyr and i got sieged by those small tree people, but they are stronger than me (kill me in 2 hits) and i keep dying to them.Can i let them do the siege or do i have to kill them?

[honest summit]

Raids have a duration, a minute or so. It will tick down as long as you're around, and they will run away once it's over.

[bright hollow]

ok

[honest summit]

Better build some fortifications for next time.

[bold surge]

Anyone know what the internal ID of Grausten is?

[gilded field]

LB+LT+View- world info
LB+LT+Menu- console
LB+View- chat
LB+Menu- toggle hud

LB needs further defining in controller tab of settings. Chat and toggle hud buttons are shown. It is not noted that LB is required.

[bright hollow]

how to level up the workbench

[turbid mantle]

Chopping block? I forgot the name and a tanning rack are in the same tab as the workbench

Those are the first two anyway

You may need to pick up more items as well if you don’t see them

[true steeple]

Build improvement pieces around it. They are the pieces with stars that are next to the workbench in the build menu

[turbid mantle]

But it’s really just flint, boar, deer drops

[bright hollow]

theres only the cooking station

[true steeple]

Have you picked up flint?

[bright hollow]

no

[true steeple]

It appears near water in meadows

[bright hollow]

got it

[latent parrot]

valheim broke my gpu driver

did a full check up on my pc, it will run at full tilt without any issue on multiple games, except valheim. i launch it, coffee stain screen, driver goes berzerk

[bold surge]

For future, start a world with cheats enabled and use the dev console. You can type "spawn X" where X is the item, just try things until you see the autocomplete come up and BAM there is your internal id!
for example I found out CharredSkulls are actually Charredskull by searching "spawn Char"

[quartz cairn]

'Grausten' see https://valheim-modding.github.io/Jotunn/data/objects/item-list.html

[visual lance]

Ah. So that's still a thing. Guess getting to Yagluth is on hold and going to upgrade my dock first.

[latent parrot]

Last attempt broke adrenalin and caused error 186.

-rx580, 2700X cpu.
-no mods.
-driver's brand spanking new.
-system up to date.
-computer is clean
-temps are all in the green (scored a K70 and set up some keys as temp indicators)

what do, my friends just picked the game again

[mental egret]

guys can someone help me ?i cant start game crash ..when i play with friend on his server everything is fine ..but i cant start my own world? how to fix?

[true steeple]

If it stops responding while loading a world you just need to wait and it will respond again. This happens because it takes so long to update the world for ashlands.

It wont happen after the world is updated

[latent parrot]

can confirm, ashland update took at least 2 whole minutes to load

[mental egret]

@true steeple thank you i will try now

[latent parrot]

aaand all files validated again.

[glossy fern]

is there way to pop up to the ground runestone? i found cool little island that wanted to create as my main fortress place

[latent parrot]

creative mode, use the hoe

[glossy fern]

i raise up a ground level but it stais half buried in ground. is there way to force that runestone to spawn on the higher ground level?

[latent parrot]

there's a maximum rise possible, i think it's ~16m from bottom

i wanted to increase an area's height and it's just not possible as it's too deep

[glossy fern]

that's how it look now

[latent parrot]

ah, you're talking about a buried item?

[glossy fern]

a buried structure

[latent parrot]

break it and rebuild it

if you really need to.

[mental egret]

@true steeple its working now thank you a lot !!! u are my brother my friend

[honest summit]

It's a runestone

[glossy fern]

but always if i buried/dug down runestones the after teleporting backed to their max ground level

so i'm so confused about that cuz have no idea how to deal with it

[honest summit]

Try going away or logging out and coming back. It might pop up.

[old bronze]

I think runestones don't change location based on the ground level

[glossy fern]

so we can't destroy runestones but dig under even bury runestones but no way raise them above?

[marble girder]

chicken are scared, but there are no creatures around

[turbid mantle]

Ye

[marble girder]

They are afraid of the pigs.

[pliant geyser]

Ist there a way to get the db-file of my local saved world? Although its set to cloud saved, there is only world files in the /localworld folder

[frail cave]

set it to local saved and it should give you all the Files

[fair pier]

How did my boat even drown, how do I bring it back to water surface?

[frail cave]

too much weight?

[turbid mantle]

I’ve never seen that

That’s amazing I’d just leave it there

I’d make a temple around it

[fair pier]

there was none, I was just moving straight then it sank, its even in full HP so I dont know what happen

[fair pier]

not that you mention it, that is a very good idea actually

[grave arrow]

Shield generator question - if enemies walk under the shield, can they then throw projectiles?

[frail cave]

yea

only the shield part blocks things

[grave arrow]

thanks

[tough quarry]

Anyone got advice when it comes to Ashvines farming? I set up a few walls and left it to grow but I noticed when I didn't pick it right away they would despawn.
Porduction is not as high as I would like, I get only 3 clusters every 10 minutes or so or so it feels.

Any advice on how to increase production or yield?

[barren light]

my game keeps crashing when i try to load an old server

anyone else had this issue/know a fix?

@hidden lava @proud pine

[hidden lava]

sometimes it can help to reinstall the game and then load the backup of the world. The question is which file is damaged, can you recognize this when loading?

[pine stump]

With the new ashlands update, does the biome become added to an already made world or do you have to create a new world in general?

[true steeple]

Old worlds have new ashlands if the south edge hasn’t been explored already

[pine stump]

None of our world has been explored on the edges yet, so we will have the ashland biome if we continue to explore?

[true steeple]

Yes, it should be there

[pine stump]

Thanks!

[barren light]

turns out i just gotta wait like 5 minutes

even tho my cursor turned into a loading symbol i gotta wait

works now tho thx

[mental drum]

hi all. anyone had any issues on dedicated servers (from the steamcmd) where after a player dies part of their inventory has disappeared. I've watched it happen on their discord stream so i know its not them missing things. its happened several times but just to one of our players

[spare drift]

every time i make pies and put 20 uncooked pies in the cooker

i get 2 of each pie mysteriously vanishing after cooking

its pretty weird im not gonna lie

[rain stag]

Are there Greydwarf spawners that are generated very close to each other? I'm perptually running out of eyes late game with all the portals I need in ashlands

[obtuse quest]

which magic staff is best for mistlands? fire or frost?

[scarlet charm]

whats the easiest way to find the trader

[sage siren]

has anyone ran into the issue of right click on food not working? when i open my invent tab the use/equip bind shows as mouse-2. if i right click a weapon itll equip it, if i right click a piece of gear itll put it on... but when i right click a piece of food (literally all food) nothing happens? idk what to do

[lilac coyote]

Are you hungry? If you've got three food already going, you need to wait until it starts to flash.

[sage siren]

no I dont have any food going

[celest blaze]

By sailing close alongside the coast of black forest biomes

[sage siren]

when i started off my world with a buddy at one point i was sitting as low as 3hp and just struggling to figure out how to eat just to heal. couldnt figure it out because no bind works. i even went to settings to reset incase that would fix it but it did nothing

[fringe zealot]

I remember way back there was a chat command for letting someone deconstruct stuff on your hosted server

my wife cannot deconstruct anything on my hosted world, any ideas?

[steep osprey]

how do i update my version, I have done everything in steam

[lilac coyote]

What version are you on?

[lilac coyote]

That's not something that's forbidden by default.

[sage siren]

god this ones a tilter. hows it possible that right click action works with literally everything else but right clicking a piece of food to get some hp back does nothing lol

feel like i cant play the game without being able to click a piece of food lmao

[urban anchor]

is it possible that its taking more than 30 min to take a Ashsvin?...
I have been hidden and close buy and he has been generating yellow hearts all the time ... :S
he already ate like 10 smoke puffs

is it intended that it's not possible to change weapons while sprinting ?

[rain stag]

Why do I need so much flametal from fortresses, to make a network of catapualt transport?

[rain stag]

You can't restore health by eating food. Only potions do that, I think you are confusing it when you are eating a new food when the timer is halfed

[compact heath]

there is a good thread on valheim subreddit where someone explains it

[compact heath]

Make afk greydwarf spawner with skelly archers, lots of eyes and resin/wood/stone

[obtuse quest]

why is this portal blue?

[compact heath]

looks like a portal from devcommands or a mod

[marble roost]

Portals used to be blue, was changed to red

[obtuse quest]

ah yep the guy hosting the server for us just fessed up to making it because he got stuck 🙃

thought maybe we found something cool. thanks all

[latent marsh]

hi, i reverted back from the ptb and i was wondering if i could also revert my save back to the live game?

[lilac coyote]

No, saves won't work until the two versions are merged.

[latent marsh]

ah

[rich crest]

how does one use a whitelist for valheim with console users?

whats the ID do i have to use for console users?

i know this question can't lead to an immedaite answer, but is anyone aware of how?

[lilac coyote]

Just use the XBox ID rather than the Steam one.

[frail cave]

Do mistland creatures only spawn on the soil part of terrain or can they spawn on the rocks? Things like the hares, gjalls, etc.

[rain stag]

Seems to be soil only but tiny bits of soil can be anywhere

[frail cave]

That's what I was thinking so I've just been crafting benching everything until I make a pass with stone to make campfires haha

[sweet crescent]

ATM im in the bronze age with a captured wolf next to a mountin base
i was wondering if i should make some hoe raise ground walls. if so what would be the best way to go about such a thing?

and if i do will the wolfs be able to climb said walls if i make them too short?

[rain stag]

Make them steep and cover the insides with walls is best. You should have ton of stone from copper mining

[frail cave]

They will be if you make them too short, you just need to make sure you can't run into them + if there's multiple wolves they'll be able to climb on each other to get out

[sweet crescent]

so make them around the size of 2 wooden gates stacked on top of eaachother?

also about that. what should i go about for doors?

[sweet crescent]

as im still pre stone structures i was gonna use Double layered wood gates

[frail cave]

Ya if you have more than one wolf otherwise you can just make it a gate big, I personally make a pit and just chuck food in it but I have in the past made a pen out of earthen walls. Honestly no doors is the best, make it fully closed then pickaxe a tiny bit out and when you get them in spam raise with the hoe

[sweet crescent]

meh il probably go with that pit method

just pop 3 stam foods and mabye eik'

thanks for the help guys

Wait rq if you jump into a pit that a mob cant get out of will a mob still walk into said pit?

[frail cave]

Uhhhh sometimes if they have another mob pushing them in but otherwise you need to get them in the pit with a specific item you get from sailing in the ocean (idk if you've gotten it but that's where you get it) or you just knock them in with something like a stagbreaker/mace

[sweet crescent]

ah so i gotta harpoon them in first?

[frail cave]

Ya lol

[sweet crescent]

wait stag can knock back mobs WELL?

[sweet crescent]

also do the harpoon upgrades just increase damage and how long it lassts or dose it also upgrade how effective the stam use is?

[frail cave]

Ya you just need to time it so they don't hit you (in your case as you'll 100% die instantly haha)

I don't think you can upgrade it

Ya no upgrades

[urban elk]

this isnt exactly for valheim specifically, but ive got thalassaphobia, does anyone have any tips on how to make crossing the ocean less scary? i even panicked when a leviathan started submerging despite my boat being right there 😭

[rain stag]

Why are you looking at the ocean when you're supposed to look ahead at new lands. Get someone else to drive the boat for you if you're scared.

[urban elk]

im solo 😅 and also need to cross the ocean to get to new lands

im aware as well that the karve and higher are faster than the serpent full wind but the possibility scares the heck out of me that one will pop up

[rain stag]

Use a map generator online and check your seed's map to minimize ocean travel?

[urban elk]

and for reference my thalassaphobia is so bad minecraft water scares me LOL

[bold surge]

Had a friend's PC crash during play here on my server... He basically blue screened.
After he got back into valheim his characters are gone. Like, completely.
Anyone know off hand how he can pull his backups off the steam cloud or anything else he can do in this situation?

[frail cave]

Well quite literally it's only sea serpents that exist and they are EXTREMLY SUPER DUPER rare in the day but are a lot more common at night and in storms, so just avoid going at night and during storms and you'll never have to deal with one (although they do give really good food lol)

Idk if that helps but there's nothing in there besides the occasional fish haha

[urban elk]

any tips on how to avoid one if i set tail in clear day but get stuck in open ocean during a storm, also iss there a difference between normal rain and storm for the serpent's spawn rate?

[frail cave]

OH wait you have thalassophobia as whole so it's just the ocean concept-

[urban elk]

ya haha its the whole my body is already in flight mode despite it being a videogame and a serpent popping up would literally jump scare me

[frail cave]

Storm has lightning + the waves become HUGE and serpents despawn when you get to land so if you do ever find one you can just gun it straight to land and it'll go away

[frail cave]

Yaaa I have two friends with one being scared of deep water and one being scared of large animals in the water haha

[urban elk]

so normal no lighting but light rain wont increase their spawn?

[frail cave]

I think so? There's definitely a difference ocean wise, the water gets very very dark too, although the light rain could simply just be from other biomes when you're not "technically" in an ocean and the ocean's version of rain is storm

[urban elk]

thank god ok, i had to go sailing on a friggin raft during rain and it was just normal rain so i was still freaking out(despite like almost touching the shore the whole way)

[frail cave]

If you never enter an ocean biome no serpents spawn and the land biomes extend fairly far out into the water, you can see it on your map with the like gray/wavy bits next to land = that biome continuing into the water

If it does become too much of an issue you can always mod them out of the game fully since nothing progression wise hinges on them, it's just a bit complicated

[urban elk]

oh another question, whats the best way to get higher star boars to spawn near my home? ive only found a FEW and im in like day 27 and ALL the rest have just been 0 star boars

just moved bases too to an island with a lot of black forest some meadows AND mountain on it

[frail cave]

I think it's straight rng, I've had a 2star boar spawn right next to my house day 1 and never again so I dunno! But I do know the farther you move from spawn the more likely it is to get *stars

[urban elk]

hmmm alright

cuz this is my map so far xD

[frail cave]

Ya the top part you'll have better chances but if you don't find one just keep looking haha

[rain stag]

You're honestly better off ignoring the boar except for completion purpose since their drops get obseleted past the Mountain biomes

[lilac coyote]

Starred boat only appear 800m+ from world centre. The exception to this is the one time boar runestones. Starred boar spawn (when they can) at a 10% chance for 1* and 1% for a 2*.

[sweet crescent]

id disagree. Boars are still pretty helpful for breeding wolfs

[vestal hatch]

In 2021, did Valheim ever display the world seed code anywhere in-game aside from the world selection list? I combed through vods of a now-deleted world with no footage of log-ins trying to find the seed code.

Would world seeds ever be mentioned in non-world game files ie characters?

[lilac coyote]

No.

[open rampart]

How does the game determine where to spawn a raid? By workbenches or beds?

[compact heath]

most raids need to have 3 items that have the modifier called "player base" for it to be able to spawn raids, 3 or more https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base the wolf raid is different it can spawn anywhere near a player if its been enabled by player progress, if more than one base has 3 player base items a raid can spawn based on RNG, on normal world modifier the raid has a small chance to spawn every 46 minutes

[compact heath]

If I'm really accurate with the bow and with manoevering, I can defeat 3 serpents on a karve before it needs urgent repairing (2 is way easier) This is one after the other, not all at once. Worth it for the serpent meat. You have to be very unlucky and miss most your shots to have a Karve die from just one serpent on normal world modifiers, and navigate quite badly. The main thing is to be calm and attack the serpent, not your own boat, panicking does not help in this sadly.

[atomic dock]

best way to mine ancient armor/swords? is it also to separate them from the ground and "pop" them?

[late gull]

hello

do automatic chicken farms still work? I followed one video and wasted half an hour on a build that doesn't work, and i look at other vids and the comments all mention that the build is dated. If there is a working build could somebody link it to me thanks!

[atomic dock]

there's 1 design that relies on chicks hitbox being larger than hens hitbox to filter them and auto kill hens

but my genuine recommendation is to just make a normal autobreeder and manually cull the hens

[hoary veldt]

hi; made a character on the beta version, because it was a mulptiplayer server at this time on the ptb version, is there any chance i can get that character back on normal version? i have se save on local but on the normal version i have no acces to that character

[weak mulch]

I dont think you can get a char from a newer version to an old one, the other way around might be possible but going from new to old probably is not

[wary sphinx]

How to convince my girlfriend to play valheim 😔

[willow raft]

have her watch you play it, if she likes it maybe you can get her to play.
I can't get my wife to play computer games with me, she does like to watch me game certain games and loves to comment and help out with noticing things.

[keen pendant]

Hey does anyone know a mod where you can just add a second strong attack to the magic staff without adding a lot of new magic staffs and mechanics now😉

[willow raft]

#mods-discussion Will be more helpful in that regard.

[keen pendant]

Okay thx, i am new here😅

[boreal cobalt]

any tips on solo fighting queen? I'm losing my will to play this game whenever I think that I have to kill this stupid hard boss

[keen harness]

@Thorin Oakshield here is the bridge. this is about as far as i got

[willow raft]

What have you tried so far?
I'd go for staff of embers, staff of protection and dead raiser.
Dead raiser and staff of protection for extra targets that stay a tad longer for her and adds to attack.
Staff of protection to keep yourself alive.
Staff of embers to deal with the adds quickly and damage the queen when you can.

[boreal cobalt]

On my first save I just used mistwalker and had no magic items, it was horrible and my mistwalker broke several times

[willow raft]

Yeah either set a table to repair your magic staves nearby or a portal you can hop in and quickly repair it or bring multiple.

[boreal cobalt]

I'm planning to use himminafl

and staffs as help

[willow raft]

Odin save the queen.

[boreal cobalt]

odin save me

[willow raft]

Nah, you've got this.

[hasty marten]

how can i find a 2star boar

[boreal cobalt]

it was hard in a duo so I think alone it's going to be even worse

[jade tusk]

i found one on a small meadow/forest island

[keen harness]

i may have found a temporary solution to my bridge problem... using wood as the flat part

[last osprey]

Luck basically. Every boar that spawns at least 800m away from the world center has a 1% chance to be a 2-star boar.
Boars spawned by boar runestones and abandoned meadows farms can also have stars closer to the world center, but they don't respawn.
So your best bet in a new world is looking for those and hoping to get lucky.

[hasty marten]

there is more % at night or its the same

[last osprey]

Same afaik.

[hollow vessel]

Question: up to this point, I've left my world data set to backup to my Steam cloud instead of somewhere on my hard drive. Seems the most convenient thing to do. But I've seen several people say they set their's to backup to their local drive. Is there a reason y'all don't like to use the Steam cloud option beyond personal preference?

[lilac coyote]

If you don't need to, it's always safer to store it locally, there's no guarantee the cloud will always be available.

[static stone]

Hello, question about the goblin camps, if I clear their camp, will they spawn there after a while? Or should I play other camps?

[willow raft]

once cleared camps stay empty except for maybe a night time spawn.

[supple panther]

No the Fulings at camps will not respawn, youre better off looking for new ones...

[static stone]

Understood thanks

[static stone]

Understood thanks

[willow raft]

Locally is always available and if you have problems with your world could also be easier to fix.
Plus you can share those files with other people, so they can also have your world and what is in it.
If you have a good friend you always play with you could send the your world files when you go on vacation or so.

[supple panther]

But like Judge Blue Kamap said, Fulings will also be able to spawn in the Meadows and Black Forest at night, after killing Yagluth.

[hollow vessel]

@lilac coyote @willow raft Thanks for the input!

[still pine]

How are raids prevented?

[supple panther]

You can turn raids off in the world modifiers

[still pine]

Interesting... havent disabled them yet i havent gotten a raid yet

Im past elder about to head into swamps

[supple panther]

Alright, good luck!

[supple panther]

But yeah, there is a world modifier for raids, you can increase how often they occur, or decrease it, or just disable them completely.

[still pine]

I havent had one at all yet i havent changed the settings

[willow raft]

You can either change the world settings or spawn proof your base and make a wall or trench / moat they can't get over, the only raids you will have to worry about are the flying ones, so drakes and bats and the wolf one that can happen in lots of biomes and doesn't require player base items to be nearby.
From mistlands on you can also have gjall and seeker raids.

[still pine]

How do you stop them from happening? i assume spawn proofing is a way ive been avoiding it, i havent gotten one yet despite being on normal

[willow raft]

Either spawnproofing or having less than 3 player base structures around.

[still pine]

So what counts as those?

[willow raft]

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

[still pine]

Ahh cool thanks!

[fringe beacon]

would there be a way for me to send a savefile to a friend so he could play on that world alone?

cuz im not really tryna play anymore but he wants to continue on our old world

[rare star]

If it's Steam I guess u can send them the save file

[willow raft]

Yes, save locally, find those files and send them.
He then needs to put those files in the right place and he can play on that world.
There are some how to to be found online.

[fringe beacon]

alright thank you

[feral garnet]

Hola, is there any way for me to see which bits of building actually need repair (except for the obvious under 50%)

[still pine]

2 stacks of iron in a karve is about the worth while first start for stuff yeah?

As in for just getting iron, cause i need what 10 ingots so 20 ore for 100 nails?

[willow raft]

So 60 iron?
That will be enough to get 1 tool to level 3 or a piece or armor to level 3, you need 80 iron to fully max out a tool, weapon or armor piece.

[still pine]

What about a long ship?

[rare star]

Would u bring the same 60 irons in a long ship?

[still pine]

I mean i need a long ship, so yes but id fill it up

[rare star]

What I would recommend is getting ur best boat, and raiding the maximum amount of Crypts u can before heading home

[still pine]

Okay so then a karve

[rare star]

Build a portal, and a small base to fix ur pickaxe when u need

And head home with the boat only when u feel u got enought

[willow raft]

For a longboat you need 5 iron to make 100 iron nails.

[willow raft]

With some finagling you can get a cart on a karve, it might break if the sea gets too rough but it really lets you haul a whole lot of iron.

[grave vale]

me and a friend have been playing and we JUST got to the plains, but we keep asking ourselves. Is it worth it to keep growing carrots and turnips? right now we are only growing onions and we will grow flax and barley on top of that soon enough but are turnips and carrots useful for future recipes or should we not worry about keeping them?

we know nothing about mistlands and beyond and if you can avoid spoiling anything I would appreciate it

[willow raft]

No need to keep growing them if you have a decent stack but make sure you can grow more for later, since you'll need them later.

[grave vale]

okay thank you! I suppose we will just fill a chest and keep those for later

[red heart]

since when that structure exists?

[honest summit]

Since Hildir's Request. It's one of her quest locations.

[red heart]

ok thank you very much!

[quartz bison]

Is there any way to make the game mod-free? Mod-proof? It's impossible to control what mods people use even on a remote server... How come it can't be done easily?

[quartz cairn]

my take on this:
in general, there will always be ways around game rules (cheating). Valheim (still in early access) has no mechanism built in against modding. Existing mods that make 'cheating' harder:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/AzuAntiCheat/
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Smoothbrain/ServerCharacters/
etc.

[bold lynx]

I am the server host, I left the game but my friend was still on the game for like 10 seconds before getting disconnected and he died during that time. He now has a grave marker but cant find his grave. What do we do?

[buoyant peak]

Why crafting only one thing and just immediately upgrade it?

With 60 you can craft pickaxe and at least two other weapons. That's much better than one single maxed out item

[buoyant peak]

@still pine

[still pine]

Wait what, i mean i just got to my swamp so lol

[sullen dew]

best wep from black metal?

[solar marsh]

Broke the ward on a dverger enclosure, will if I hit the sap collection box the dverger s get angry or will they not ,,???

As I am playing passive mode

[keen agate]

which silver weapon should I get first (which is the best one)

[solar marsh]

Frostner

[keen agate]

ty

[fathom badge]

They shouldn't. How did you break the ward?

[marble roost]

Do beware frostner isn't great in Mountains, but is good in the next 3ish biomes. In mountains something like spear or flesh rippers will be better

[sullen dew]

what is best black metal wep?

[solar marsh]

I used a wood cart , kept ramming the ward

[quartz cairn]

nope they will stay passive while you grab their stuff

[fathom badge]

Ahh. Yeah, they should still not aggro once the ward is broken. The ward reacting to something being hit is what they aggro on I believe.

[marble roost]

atgeir prob. atgeirs r op

[sullen dew]

ty

can be used with shield?

[fathom badge]

Blackmetal sword is probably the best to use with a shield. Or the Porcupine, but that doesn't actually use any blackmetal. It is Plains tier, though.

[keen agate]

ty

[fathom badge]

If you want to be OP in the mountains, especially the frost caves, use ooze bombs 😉

[keen agate]

also, is it at least decent against the boss of the mountains biome?

[fathom badge]

No. Iron mace is probably the best, or sword. Whichever skill you have higher. But in general you want the Draugr Fang, which is a mountain-tier bow.

[marble roost]

No, it's the worst weapon

[keen agate]

....

[fathom badge]

Yeah... Frostner is GOAT in every place except the Mountains 😛

[marble roost]

Best weapon against mountain boss is the spear or the fist weapon you can find in dungeons. If you don't have great fist or spear skill though, an iron weapon does great too!

Mountain bow also good against boss

[lilac coyote]

Imagine that a frost-based weapon not being good in a frost biome.

[grave vale]

another question, will we continue to need boar and wolf meat or should we not bother?

[fathom badge]

You won't really need either after getting established in the Plains, but sausages are still pretty inexpensive base food until you get to killing lots of Mistlands bugs

[grave vale]

okay thank you!

[rare star]

will the wolves eventually eat for health?

I dropped some meat for them

[fathom badge]

Only once they stop being alerted by enemies. Maybe put a workbench closer to the spawner to stop the spawns for a few seconds.

[rare star]

Doesnt seems to help

[last osprey]

Boars are worth it just for an easy source of leather scraps to make ooze bombs with. Also you can feed sausages to wolves.
Wolf meat is less useful but 2 star wolves are nice base defence so it's worth it anyway just to have them kill off any raids. And any excess can just be turned into coal.

[rare star]

The way I found to stop spawning, was placing a stone floor, might work with Wood too

[fathom badge]

Dang. I could have sworn that it stopped spawns. I've never really made a farm like that... you might just have to expect to periodically replenish your wolf supply then 😉

[rare star]

That's what I'm doing for now. I have a separated pen that max at 6 wolves, so I might keep 6 in the breed pen, and 6 in the spawner pen

If one dies, I can replace them with the ones safe in the breeding pen

Yeah, just noticed them casually stop for eating

[willow raft]

You could do that as well of course.

[simple vigil]

hey im having an issue with not finding any copper/tin ore in the Black Forest. Now i know what it is looked like i played the game for 4 months after i came out and i came back for the update but for some reason i spent 2 hours running around and only found rocks. I even broke 20 rocks thinking maybe they changed the texture of it to the point where i might not recognize it with no luck so far. Did they change the location for copper and tin?

[rare star]

God, they even took time to make a baby

[wraith gorge]

It's brutal how overwhelmed you can get in ashlands, how do you even handle that lol

[marble roost]

Magic, atgeir

[light parrot]

hello i am wanting to open a dedicated server with an a save i currently have how do i do this?

[simple vigil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/yhp2ha/running_your_own_valheim_dedicated_server_for_0/
this what i followed

ignoring all the networking part and answer you question. Download valheim server on steam, browse local files, edit the startserber bat and insert your world name where they tell you to enter at

[light parrot]

ok and can i get a friend to send me their server files and run it on my computer?

[vague silo]

@light parrot make sure u inv me

[bronze violet]

Nope there's even a text for it saying what it is simaler to the diferent trees tin is near water in a black forest though it might also be awful generation I had a black forest with 1 copper deposit

[wintry seal]

Guys

I'm a solo player, and I just started the mistlands and... it's overwhelmingly diffecult

Like what am I supposed to do against soldier seeker 2 stars, or the airplane mob

I started it with the padded armor and blackmetal weapons, am I missing something

[true steeple]

For the gjall, you could drink fire resistance barley wine. The eggs underneath it are weak to pierce.

[wintry seal]

What about the seeker... his hp is higher than some bosses

[last osprey]

it's easy to kite, has no ranged attacks and a giant weakspot at its back.
Jump on a rock and shoot it in the ass basically.

[true steeple]

For the seeker soldier you can use well timed jump attacks after it tries to attack you so you have as much time to dodge as possible or you could use a ranged weapon to slowly but safely kill it from somewhere it can't reach

[wintry seal]

It has a weakspot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this why he is insanly tanky???

[true steeple]

No, that's the stars

[wintry seal]

The only one I faced is the 2 star one, he spawncamped me lol

Is there a written guide I can check?

[true steeple]

My first one had 2 stars too, my group all used our powers and immediately ran up the nearest cliff

[wintry seal]

OMG lol

Seems like someone pissed the devs with "This game is too ez"

They made damn sure he regrets it lol

[frail cave]

I spawned events on my base with devcommands but the enemies wont do anything. does anyone know why they wont attack?

[true steeple]

It only gets harder from here

[true steeple]

Are you flying or in ghost mode?

[frail cave]

i'm not flying

[wintry seal]

That's comforting!

Anyways, thanks @true steeple ❤️

[fair pier]

Does clearing trees and rocks and pickables help lower instances in the area?

[lost swift]

Do you have lots of ooze goo from killing blobs in the swamps? If so, turning them into ooze bags is a great use of them. AOE poison damage that works decently against seekers.

[lament scroll]

can I ride mounts through the new stone portals?

[lost swift]

... no? I don't think? I haven't tested it myself but I feel like that would be listed on the wiki article if possible.

[buoyant peak]

Nope

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[fair pier]

Thank you

[bold lynx]

should I carry a sword on me as a mage?

[urban anchor]

hi guys,
Standard potions vs Lingering potions... any oppinion?

[lost swift]

The lingering stamina potions feel near-useless to me. If they allowed consumption of normal stamina potions while they were active they'd actually be useful.

Or if they gave more than 25% increase in regen.

[thorn spire]

agreed. The lingering potions need to be consumed before you need to use them.

[lost swift]

But since rested gives you 100% that extra 25% really doesn't get ya much.

[thorn spire]

I'm already running or jumping or hauling in a fish before I drink it.

[lost swift]

Especially considering you give up the ability to consume normal stamina potions while they're active.

[lost swift]

Yeah and even with stamina potions I tend to lean toward Tasty Mead first

[thorn spire]

I always forget about tasty mead.

[lost swift]

The only times I've ever needed stamina potions was mining leviathans in single player because "don't move we'll come to you" doesn't work without "we"

[urban anchor]

what about tasty mead?
also not worth vs normal stamina potion ?

[lost swift]

You can have tasty mead in addition to normal stamina potion or lingering stamina potion

[sweet crescent]

whats a good amount of fermenters?

[pearl mortar]

Tasty meads are only good if you can find time to regen

I use them for mining

[lost swift]

Mountain climbing.

[pearl mortar]

Yeah that'd be good too

[lost swift]

I usually do 2 in single player.

Depends on how many players you have and how often you consume mead.

[pearl mortar]

You'll need the instant stamina meads for fishing or dealing with a lot of enemies like in ashlands

[opaque shoal]

its is pretty mid tbh, you gain +100% stamina regen and -50% health regen for only 10 seconds, kinda not worth the honey and berries but you can use them if you want, like somone said before it is a good addition to a stamina potion

[sweet crescent]

2 players rn

[lost swift]

I'd say build 1 and if you feel like you gotta wait too long between batches build another?

This game really rewards the f-around-and-find-out attitude.

No parts of the game necessarily require mead, it's entirely optional. But I find some parts of the game are a LOT easier with certain meads.

[pearl mortar]

Health meads have saved me from poison or burning a few times too

[halcyon crag]

for that you need to cover a 10x10m area above/below the spawner, floorboards and roofs both work

blocking the spawner off is the only way to get wolves to stay calm long enough for them to eat and recover health

[fair pier]

Anyone know why this is acting up? I have 6 upgrades literally next to the forge but one of them does not register, I dont even know which one

[halcyon crag]

probably the bellows

[fair pier]

OMG thank you! it was the bellows indeed

[narrow wagon]

i'm using some mods and with those mods i accidentally deleted a whole bunch of ores i mined. I'm trying to cheat them back in, but for some reason when i type 'devcommands' into the console it doesn't work
Any idea how to make it work? I did it in the past albeit it was before the ashlands update.

[halcyon crag]

@fathom badge first 2 shots with spawns happening, 2nd 2 blocked and wolves now calm

the only thing i added was the fresh floorboards you see in shot 3 (bottom left)

[fathom badge]

You should probably ask in #mods-issues , this channel is for the base game only.

[narrow wagon]

@fathom badge True, but i don't think it's mod related afaik. Just the normal enabling of the console, which works, and then using devcommands to spawn in items. Just wondering if that is still supposed to work or not.

[fathom badge]

It definitely still works. You can try removing the mods using the instructions in the pinned posts, or you can ask in the mods channel. That kind of behavior is very common with outdated or otherwise bugged mods.

[narrow wagon]

Alright, thanks for the assist

[opaque shoal]

what is the best axe for woodcutting? ( i use black metal for one tree and crystal battle axe for a few close to each other )

[fathom badge]

Every new axe has higher chop damage I believe, so the highest tier ones are the best as a general rule.

[opaque shoal]

what about that one with poison?

[fathom badge]

It's better than the Blackmetal

[opaque shoal]

but it has less chopping damage

slightly confusing thats why im askking because i dont want to waste my eitr

[fathom badge]

Nope. The Jotun Bane has one more chopping damage at lowest level than the Blackmetal axe has at top level. Chop is different from slash damage.

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Jotun_Bane vs https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Blackmetal_axe

[opaque shoal]

i have 600 hours and i didnt knew that🤦‍♂️

[fathom badge]

That said, it's not a huge deal 😉 It's just what it is.

[serene vine]

Are there any plans to change the gem used to craft the Dundr staff from blood-stone to Iolite?

[opaque shoal]

how did they even measure the chop damage? game files?

[lilac coyote]

Yep.

[fringe sundial]

If there are, they will list it in the patch notes when it happens, but I have not heard/read anything.

[slow orchid]

slayer or serker axes?

[fringe sundial]

It would depend on your preferred play style and what enemy(es) you are fighting.

[tepid gale]

Are Lox like boar where they will agro if you get too close or are they chill until you attack?

[slow orchid]

honestly just wanna try some new stuff out, i have a much higher lvl w swords tho, doing ashlands

[slow orchid]

like boar

but id say they have a bigger aggro range

u should be good if ur crouching behind them tho

for the berserker axes ||is lightning that much worth it or should i upgrade to bleeding?||

||i didnt get iolite in my first fort||

[marble roost]

Lightning is by far the best

Blood (bleeding) is okay but it's hard to use right, so it takes a skilled player who doesn't shy away from danger

[slow orchid]

gotcha, them ima wait more! ty!

[glossy sequoia]

can anyone tell me why my game(on steam) is and update behind my friends (on Xbox gp) and it wont offer a update?

[bold lynx]

what diet should I have as a pure mage? does health matter? Also do I need to use staff of protection every few minutes constantly? the cooldown is so short

[fringe sundial]

I don't think anyone here could give a concrete answer regarding release dates. The general truth of the matter is, unless there is a contract in place stating updates must go out at the same time across all platforms, there is bound to be some difference. There may be other factors, besides contractual agreements, but that is where my mind went first.

[opaque shoal]

is there a better way to get tar instead of draining the pits?

[lilac coyote]

They're all the same right now. I imagine someone is on the PTB.

[lilac coyote]

No, that's the best way by far.

[fringe sundial]

I have heard that 3 magic/etir (eee) or 2 magic, 1 stamina (ees) are good. Most no one will use health when bubble staff is as useful as it is.

[bold lynx]

o

okay thanks, does the bubble ever last mroe than a few mins?

[fringe sundial]

I don't play Mage, so I am not sure.

[honest summit]

It's 60 sec per upgrade level

[vale ledge]

Does anyone know why the health and stamina potions don't work, they never work for me, not even using them for the first time, only the fire, poison and cold resistance ones work... does anyone know something, thanks

[lament glen]

Does anyone know is lvling up elemental magic still works on frost staff and golems?

[sinful pebble]

Hi Valheim Community, I'm in Hammer Mode just building a new starter base for the Ashlands expansion and noticed that everything I'm building in blue (Grounded). not sure if this was with the new update or not but found it odd that normally there is a progression towards Red as you go up but nothing changes and it all stays blue now. Should I be worried once I remove Hammer Mode?

[vale ledge]

If it is only what is connected to the ground or nearby, nothing happens, the blue is the most resistant, I have not used the hammer mode but the blue is that

[sinful pebble]

I remember using Hammer Mode previous to this update and still had to make sure things were structurally built. Why things just float in the sky now with nothing grounding it and it still shows blue had me concerned but I guess it is a new Hammer Mode thing.

[vale ledge]

oh that's new to me, a little worrying yes

[sinful pebble]

haha okay ill try to imagine building properly and hope when it turns off nothing collaspaes catastrophically. Although it could make for a cool sight.

[somber reef]

Hello friends, can somebody with experience and or knowledge of/with the command console please DM me

[vale ledge]

any advice to fight yagluth alone, I take the fire resistance potion, good food and the best armor, weapon and shield to the maximum, and since there is no fast life regeneration and life potions do not work, I don't know what to do, it's very hard and at night what I sleep in regenerates...thank you

[weak wharf]

Hi everyone!
has anyone had this problem before?
every 5 min this error is generated:

Failed to send, suspend TX on playfab/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX while trying to reconnect

Reset party to clear network error
ResetParty
Task: CleanPartyTask
Task: InitPartyTask()

I'm not using wifi or VPN
Any idea how to fix it?

[marble roost]

It does

I’m fairly certain, think I tried it not long ago

[turbid mantle]

Are you right clicking them when you’re missing health/stamina? Or pressing the corresponding hotkey

[wooden dust]

Hey, so we played valheim after the Ashlands update, went to our Mountain Biome home, and half of the area was cut in half, there is like a huge crater and tiny islands floating in the air and our house is pretty much destroyed on top of one of those islands ? Is there a way to fix this or something ?

[turbid mantle]

That looks so cool though

I wish my world was like that

You even have pillars to get to the top with that’s insane

[wooden dust]

Would be cool, if we found this randomly but after the update it just spawned under our house

[true steeple]

Was your house near the south of the world?

[wooden dust]

No top of the map

[true steeple]

The ashlands (and deep north too, it seems) are now surrounded by ocean, which is why this mountain no longer exists

[wooden dust]

So, this can't be fixed ?

[true steeple]

No, but at least you can now make a floating base

[compact heath]

you need to fix your potion thing, do you have mods installed? Potions always work. Also which weapon are you using for Yagluth? the best is the silver sword fully upgraded

[compact heath]

shield lasts 4 minutes with a level 4 staff of protection

[cloud elm]

Hey, I'm connected to the internet but there's an error that says "Can't log in"

[eager tapir]

Anyone know what the ||feathery wreath|| attaches to? I'm trying on stone walls and it won't work. Gotta love these games in early access ...

[spark patio]

i just planted barley and flax in the meadows how do i remove it?

[eager tapir]

wait till it grows and "E" to harvest. Just like carrots and otehr crops.

[spark patio]

but it says it cant grow in this environment

[lilac coyote]

It'll only grow in Plains.

[primal dove]

Is it possible to grow ashwood trees? In ashlands or elsewhere?

Do they grow on their own? Does that make them (technically) a limited resource?

[buoyant peak]

Nope.

They are limited, but you can get tens of thousands of ashwood from ashlands

[keen pollen]

Just started a new playthrough with a friend and I'm constantly getting the connection interuption icon in the top left. I don't lose internet nor have lag problems in any other game and it isn't a firewall setting. Any advice on how to stop this? This is the first playthrough it is happening

[solid trout]

Im on pc and downloaded through gamepass and its saying Platform Privilege required. I have no idea what to do.

@real nebula

[real nebula]

Please refrain from randomly pinging staff

I don't have experience with Gamepass, I can't help you

[paper cobalt]

Heyo! Just messing around with controller. Seeing if I can do some big screen Valheim chillin!

Anyways, Question:
Is there a way to move while map or inventory is open?
Like the souls games and other console games you move with the stick while navigating with the dpad.

Is this possible?

[fringe sundial]

I'm assuming you mean the upgrade. It has to be close to the given crafting table or it won't allow you to place it. I believe it has a rough range of 2m +/- of the bench/table.

[fringe sundial]

Auto walk/run works with map open, but it is a straight line and won't jump over objects/obstacles.

It should be within the games settings. I believe the default on keyboard and mouse is "q" key.

I use it while sailing in ocean since there are few obstacles.

[paper cobalt]

Sorry I should have been more clear. I’m testing with controller. (Xbox controller)

[fringe sundial]

Still, check your settings in game for "auto walk". It should be in there.

[low talon]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows any up to date mods that increase the map discovery radius. It doesn't feel great having to scratch shore with my ship to get the coastline on the map. Nexus mods has few of those mods, but they were last updated in 2021 :/

[fringe sundial]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 would be your best chance. Otherwise I have heard of "thunder store" as a comparable to nexus but with a larger valheim community.

[still bridge]

Why does my entire home internet go down when I play Valheim?

I see it is a common issue. I fixed it last year by purchasing VPN for any device that wanted to play Valheim. It appears that when I play the game it is making an absurb amount of queries to what appears to be every server that has published itself

[fringe sundial]

It could be a number of issues. Largely it is usually a ISP issue, firewall or VPN.

With my VPN, it has a feature called "kill switch" where if it detects huge increase of packets or some other program tries to disable it, it will kill the internet locally for a minute or 2. It might also be a bottleneck of the place you are routing though (you might be using so many packets, you are effectively creating a ddos scenario).

[low talon]

ops, sorry, did not see that chat

[still bridge]

(you might be using so many packets, you are effectively creating a ddos scenario). this is what I think is happening

[rain stag]

Is the chimney on the blast furnace cosmetic or is it where the smoke is being generated?

[fringe sundial]

If you have the option to choose where you route through, try a different spot and see if you get better results.

[still bridge]

I am getting on customer support with my ISP right now. I don't think it is my router. No other games cause this problem but Valheim produces and astronomically higher amount of data than anything I have ever seen.

[fringe sundial]

I believe it is where smoke is generated. Due to its design though, you get the added benefit of it being a tall(ish) building piece that counts as ground. I have used furnace/blast as a support for a overhead building structure. I just kept the smoke in mind when building above.

[rain stag]

I have all the smoke generating building clustered into a single chimney but now I want to build like 3 more furnaces to handle the flametal ores. I can generate thousands of coal in one sitting thanks to the new fire mechanics.

[fringe sundial]

I don't know if the furnace/blast can choke like a standard campfire/hearth can from smoke, so you might be able to build a smaller chimney (like a 1x1) for the furnace.

[still pine]

Any tips for bonemass solo?

[rain stag]

Drink poison potions and a mace. The poison cloud attacks are a free hits with those.

[still pine]

Could i do it in tier 3 or 4 bronze?\

[fringe sundial]

Mace normally works well for melee weapons, poison resistance meads are super useful and try to level the area(with a hoe) so you don't have to deal with bumpy ground.

Also don't recommend trying at night.

[still pine]

Aye

[fringe sundial]

You could use bow, but it is pierce resistant, so it would take a ton of arrows.

[still pine]

Yeah i might just go for full iron, idk how good thatll be

But i have tier 3 bronze and tier 4 deer cape. i should have medium healing and at this point i do have decent bow skill

[plush rapids]

poison potion and lure him to a crypt if you got them and get on top of the crypt

[still pine]

Oh

[plush rapids]

or you could run in a circle around the skull

[still pine]

Fair

Tier 3 stag breaker might be my best bet

[compact heath]

I recommend a maxed out iron mace as weapon, arrows don't do much, even frost arrows will need several hundred of, and they are only obtainable from doing a mountain hop. Bring stamina and healing mead and enough poison resistance mead so you can easily reapply it when it runs out or in case you die etc.

[still pine]

I have root mask

[compact heath]

that is also great to use for it

I m wearing level 4 root set still in the mountains rn on my current play through actually

[still pine]

Yeah its actually pretty good

Im tempted to try Troll armor maxed, atleast up to tier 3 or 4 because maybe idk

[compact heath]

Best swamp tier weapon for normal melee is iron mace for Bonemass

[plush rapids]

troll armor isnt great imo

unless you can somehow sneak up on him

[still pine]

Its more that its a lighter color for me

[compact heath]

troll armour not ideal for bonemass because you loose the poison resistance and if you have root chest that also can help with bonemass fight if an archer joins etc

[still pine]

Aye

[compact heath]

kill the adds when Bonemass throws them out quickly to get more damage onto him as well

[still pine]

At this point ill work on iron mace, the armor trend is only a bit weird for me here, itd take me another couple hours for full iron and even then i have to go to wolf armor next

[plush rapids]

I skipped wolf armor

[compact heath]

I make iron armour often, but current play through I have not done it yet, will probably skip to wolf or fenris

[still pine]

I mean if i can get a decent go at the plains, and or to moder itll be better

I just dont know how much armor is worth

[compact heath]

Moder might be a bit tricky with low armour rating unless you spawnproof a lot around the area and don't melee her

[plush rapids]

or do the cheese way and dig a hole under the ground and shoot her face

[compact heath]

how much armour you need depends on a few things, if you run 2 or even 3 health foods and want to block or parry its good to have, to decrease the threshhold of being staggered

[still pine]

I mean i still might cheese her with the one trick i know but at this point i might just grind out iron, a mace would be fair

[still pine]

My plan is turnip stew, Serpent meat and serpent stew

Havent gotten a serpent yet though

[compact heath]

that is 2 health and 1 stam which is viable, serpent stew is god tier for swamp

[still pine]

Once i get the spice rack i can make some better stuff

[compact heath]

I can manage to kill 3 serpents (one after the other not at the same time) nowadays before my Karve breaks, if a 4th one attacks I would'nt be able to make the karve survive

1800h so have a bit of practice

[still pine]

Iron buckler yeah?

[compact heath]

iron buckler for parrying, banded shield works too just depends how important the extra parry modifier is to you

[still pine]

I mean id rather not take 50 points of damage raw

I have tier 2 bone shield?

[compact heath]

tower shields are not that great really

better for multiplayer for just straight up blocking, you cannot parry with towers

[still pine]

Cant really parry bonemass can i?

[compact heath]

bosses can't be parried

but Bonemass is noisy so can have adds join fight, and Bonemass is one of the bosses that does summon his own adds occasionally too

[still pine]

I mean i wouldnt mind a friend to help, this is the first bonemass fight ive done solo legit

[compact heath]

atgeir and sledge / stagbreaker can also deal with the adds well

my first one ever I shot wood arrows from a platform high above, with a workbench (probably about 6-700 arrows and had to repair bow about 5 times or so) was a coward then haha

there is also another trick, you can use stagbreaker to discover silver in mountains and make a frostner with that silver to kill bonemass (if you have found Haldor and have some gold)

[barren osprey]

anyone else use G Portal for server? how do you upload your game to that server site?

[still pine]

Tbh i might do that

Damn now i gotta go hunt for serpents and chains

[fringe sundial]

Try here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736
I would imagine people will tell you to follow whatever tutorial/steps gportal provides, but I play solo, so I am not 100% sure.

[compact heath]

frostner feels super strong for bonemass, when I did that, my mouth was wide open when I saw how much damage he took from it

[still pine]

Tbh i dont mind the grind for frostner, i should have enough gold in treasure now, it would be oppurtunistic anyways as i havent gotten to setup a trading base yet

[compact heath]

Chains: I recommend treehouse in the swamp (indestructible trees, don't build on ancient trees) and spend the night there a few times. Wraiths will come Serpents: I found on some maps there ae spots where serpents always spawn at night and in storms, sometimes sail along one side of an island or a passage between 2 islands and find 4 serpents. (that heavily depends if you have something like that in your world, I was feasting on serpent stew so much it was insane!)

also just clearing more crypts will give you chains, you will always need the iron, Biome #5 and #6 needs quite a bit of iron

[still pine]

Fair enough

Aight now i can make turnip stuff and black soup and the like

[pearl plume]

Hi! How can one report a bug or mistake in the game?

[fringe sundial]

That would depend on what kind of bug/mistake. There are a lot of chat channels to put them into, but if no channels quite fit, the website has a huge list of bugs being worked on and a section to report bugs.

[rain stag]

To level up bow skill quickly, I should machine gun shoot the bow at point blank as soon as it draws right?

[compact heath]

sounds right but to be honest I do not know, just make sure you're rested as that gives a big bonus

[still pine]

How does one get the cape of odin now

[compact heath]

find someone that has the beta code and is willing to give it to you, same chance of getting it then winning the IRL lottery or finding a billionaire IRL that will hand you 1 mio $ tbh

[still pine]

Okay so never mind then

[compact heath]

might be able to spawn it with devcommands but you can not use it if you don't have the code

[still pine]

Yeah thats oof

Sadge because i didnt even know the game existed then

[compact heath]

I found the game a few weeks after this stopped... was sooo close to having potentially have had a chance of having it

[still pine]

Yeah i feel that

You know the minimum defence for bonemass?

[humble glade]

Uhh so we killed eikthyr and everyday ingame whenever we’re at base, a raid happens and we’re confused

Raids are set to normal and was wanting to know if this is normal

[still pine]

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

Raids only happen when you are in range of 3 base items per 40 m

[compact heath]

on normal settings a raid can happen every 46 minutes, make sure to check settings, the chance should only be 20% chance if its not modified

[compact heath]

what exactly do you want to know? the minimum armour you need to have to tank one hit from him? that would be hard to say, I have killed him in level 3 troll armour for instance

[still pine]

Fair enough, i think my current limiting factor is my blunt skill is only at 25, So my max hit is around 47

So max hit i can do is around 47

[compact heath]

25 is doable, it will be quite a bit higher after the fight if you don't die

[still pine]

Im also skipping serpent stuff, and going for black soup, sausages, and turnip stew

[compact heath]

Bonemass is weak to blunt

also make sure you start fight in the morning, clear spawns around the area earlier like especially abominations, make sure no spawners are nearby for skeletons and draugr and such, you can also do some spawn supression with campfires if you don't want other swamp creatures to join in

[still pine]

I am also gonna bring stamina mead when its done

I mean, my first and only haul of iron in this world and i have max iron mace, buckler, chest and legs

[compact heath]

iron is needed a lot, will need it for forge upgrades too, for stations and gear in almost any biome except mountains mostly

I cleared 9 crypts on current playthrough and have maxed crafting stations, but no armour yet from it (just atgeir, sword, banded shield, huntsmen bow, axe and pickaxe all max level)

and have like 50 left and still going to make iron mace soon, I want to max that out too

QUESTION for people who know a lot about events: I want to avoid BAT raid, but maybe still do Frost Caves and kill bats, according to wiki its triggered only by killing 1+ Bat and Bonemass. If I never kill Bonemass but slaughter many bats, will I not get the raid ever? I also heard that IF I pick up a wishbone it will count as if I would have killed Bonemass which would make the raid then possible to spawn, is that correct? --- So if I never pick up a wishbone and never kill Bonemass, will I be able to avoid that raid or not? Please enlighten me.

have already found 5 silver veins in current play through, 3 with stagbreaker and 2 sticking out which is a new record for me, 2 sticking out veins in the same play through

[atomic dock]

pretty sure bat raids trigger upon bonemass death

raid triggers are world specific, not character specific, so if you have an ashlands tier character in a ~~normal ~~ EDIT: beginner world, it still wouldn't trigger high tier raids even if you have high tier boss drops (such as Wishbone)

[compact heath]

yes, but only if you also killed at least 1 bat I believe (and I m not sure if picking up a wishbone does count as a Bonemass kill for the character in terms of events)

[atomic dock]

yes and that, I'm just talking about the boss conditions

[atomic dock]

for Wishbone, read this message

[compact heath]

so wishbone counts as a kill? if I get it from a chest?

[atomic dock]

you... can't get wishbone from a chest
but even if you do, that doesn't count as a kill

[compact heath]

its an old world and old character, before this play through no boss was killed at all, none. I did transfer a base from an older world to this server at some stage, massive island base there now. The character that I m using was old but I used ResetKnownItems on him

there is a wishbone in chest from that transferred base

[atomic dock]

unsure how this "base transfer" happened

[compact heath]

logged into world, grabbed items, logged into new world and put in chest

[atomic dock]

but again, raids are "world specific"
if this transfer didn't mess with the world files, then the world should still remain as "no boss killed"

[compact heath]

first just some wood for initial chests etc, then more and more, I don't use ffirst world anymore

If I understand you correctly I could even grab that wishbone and never get the bat raid even if I kill lots of bats, as long as I never kill BM on that world

[atomic dock]

basically all you have to worry is whether you've killed anything
the kills are the conditions, not the items

[compact heath]

sounds good

[atomic dock]

I'm sure if you just want to yeet the bat raids, and are so insistent that you would worldhop, then you can also just install a mod to stop that specific raid...
but if that works for you then sure!

[compact heath]

because skipping BM will be super easy with already having discovered 5 silver veins

I also dislike mods

[barren osprey]

how can i tell what modifiers i have turned on for my server?

[compact heath]

if its hosted somewhere by a provider you should have a settings tab somewhere

[spring yarrow]

Where should I ask regarding crash logs?

[atomic dock]

for locally hosted servers, you can just check it through the normal single player screen

[compact heath]

do you have any mods installed?

[spring yarrow]

yes

that my friend dw

[compact heath]

#mods-issues there I'd say

[atomic dock]

#mods-issues then

[regal flower]

is there a reason everytime i try to make a server the game crashes?

[spring yarrow]

the crash log is player.log right? or is it the dmp file

[atomic dock]

assuming locally hosted server, you can head over to #dedicated-server

[regal flower]

kk

[vale ledge]

Thank you, the potions do work at the end but since there is an Just like me, but the one with the silver sword lowered his life more than double, have they increased his life?

[still bridge]

Fyi my ISP said that it is because Valheim uses UPnP and there is nothing they can do for me except recommend each client on my network playing Valheim uses a VPN. I have configured a pretty complex VPN setup for Valheim before a long time ago, it is just pretty expensive, time consuming, and adds additional latency. I appreciate you replying to me and wanted to update you.

[still pine]

So i used an age old cheat thats universal to some games :p i asked another viking who was up for the tag along ride of a 24 minute run/sail to the feckin bonemass spawn lols, i died at it being 1/4 health and i had to enable cheats to fly back as i forgot portal mats, i think i get it now.

[compact heath]

always bring portal mats unless you play the game mode with no portals, for some bosses I like to have 2 portals up in case one gets destroyed as well, sometimes I even build a small base nearby (or a big one) but not too close

[rain stag]

The Fader arena looks wide open. Should I walk it up or prevent spawns to have a proper boss battle?

[atomic dock]

Designated support mage for the party, what armor combo should I go for? Root Harnesk is a must, but do I go 2 Eitr-weave piece or 1 Eitr-weave legs and Carapace Helm? Leaning towards Carapace Helm option but idk how helpful is that bonus eitr regen

Currently mistlands btw

[rain stag]

Any mage will be spamming Staff of protection all the time due to upgrades making its duration long lasting so armor isn't that helpful.

Mages that don't spam those are specifically parry-warriors which is a difficult playstyle.

[atomic dock]

oh, then should I just forgo Root Harnesk too then?

[rain stag]

Yeah, but Etier armor from Mistlands are weaker compared to Ashlands which you will replace it with. You might want to stick with it and use ranged weapons to compensate for the time you spend recharging your Eiter.

[atomic dock]

So a good combo rn would be Root Harnesk + 2 Eitr pieces, 1 ranged and 1 melee weapon for backup, yeah?

and once I hit Ashlands I can go full magic armor

[rain stag]

Yeah. But magic is more about glass cannon so it's about pumping all your materials to your staves first before upgrading armour. You will be starved on Refined Eiter so much that you probably will reach Ashlands before you upgrade everything

[atomic dock]

I guess I'll still be using all my staves when I reach Ashlands, so I'll still should upgrade all my staves? Or are there staves that fall off? I know that the shield staff is definitely a must, but the rest I'm not sure

[willow raft]

Just go for the Eitr Weave set, you are a mage and don't use your stamina for fighting so you should have enough to move around and dodge attacks coming your way.
If you have a staff of protection bubble around you any parry will work.
You can also use some eitr to throw some staff of frost spells around to slow down the mobs, helping your teammates.
I would either choose staff of frost of staff or embers depending on the one you like best, don't use both.

[rain stag]

Unfortunately, only one staff in Ashlands is worth upgrading, all the Mistland staffs are superior to the rest. There's another one that's really fun but doesn't do much with upgrades .

[atomic dock]

damn, guess I'll figure that out myself then! Thanks!

[stone tartan]

troll armor or bronze armor

[willow raft]

I have always gone for troll, easier to get and you can use the bronze for the really needed things, like pickaxe, axe and such.

[stone tartan]

im thinking the same, is there a big difference after you upgrade them? troll armor seems to be on par and costs a lot less

[atomic dock]

if you're good at killing trolls to get upgrade mats, there is like no downsides

[stone tartan]

yeah, im like dark souling trolls in their caves and killing them with bows outside of caves

[willow raft]

6 armor difference 40 for troll vs 46 for bronze armor.
Plus you get +15 to sneak with the troll set.

[worldly pilot]

Found the plains irl

[rain stag]

I die a little inside when I see the amount of bronze spent on obsolete armor and weapons instead of something pretty I put permanently in my base.

[willow raft]

Yeah once we have a good base in the plains there will be an armor where we will show all the armors my buddy and I used in chronological order.
The armor we used before the one we are currently using will be in the comfort zone so we can easily don that for a corpse run.

With a chest nearby for the weapons and tools accompanying it that we also used but can't show on the armor stand.

[raven ravine]

Jumped on to check out ashland... seems most if not all of my progression form Mistlands is gone.
i ran a dedicated server. Was this a thing? It seem my cloud saves only go up to about 12/7/22. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.

[timid thunder]

can i counter one item fire weakness debuff with another item fire resistance buff?

[rain stag]

If you built too close to the Ashlands/Mistlands when they upgraded those maps, your base will be Thanosed

[timid thunder]

well, more like Atlantis'ed lol, get sunken and in turn destroyed due to loss of stability

[still pine]

Whats serpent scale shield really good for

[atomic dock]

Are there any important milestones for Elemental Magic level?

[compact heath]

how do I disable grey spawners again, just a roof? or roof and floor

[atomic dock]

I don't know why you specifically pinged me? XD but roof on top, or 3 greydwarfs nearby (stuck in a pit works)

[atomic dock]

Resistance always overrides Weakness, so yes

they don't balance each other out btw, you straight up just get Resistance even if you have Weakness armor
Resistance overrides Weakness completely

[honest summit]

Just roof is enough, but you have to cover the whole 4 meter spawning radius around it.

[honest summit]

Tanking deathsquitos and fuling spears.

[still pine]

Sweet

[compact heath]

thanks it finally worked, is quite a big radius

[still pine]

How do you survive between no health regen

[compact heath]

and I guess I domnt have to delete too much roof to reactivate again

[compact heath]

healing potion?

[still pine]

Fair

A better question would have been how do you Have regen all the time

[compact heath]

some foods have regen, look at the stats

like serpent stew has a really good one

[still pine]

Aye i made some its 4 per tick, but how long does the tick last?

[compact heath]

there is also a mead that regenerates it quite fast but is very endgame that one I think

[still pine]

Ashlands, lingering health mead

[compact heath]

it lasts as long as that food is in your belly, at the end the effect tapers off a bit

there is nothing like the healing that greydwarf shamans or even dvergr support mages do, they are really good

[honest summit]

A regen tick is 5 or 6 seconds.

[still pine]

Fire arrows and Draugrfang a good combo for Moder?

Ahh obsidian

[small nest]

obsidian and poison arrows will come handy, i dont know if i am right but i think that fire debuff is weakened against her

[high summit]

what can i do with this terrain in my base? (the hoe isnt helping much)

[small nest]

pickaxe

it can also modify the terrain

[high summit]

uh

how do u get one

[small nest]

you will receive it after the first boss which location can be aquired via vegvisir ( stone sign with red runes) at the spawn

[willow raft]

Defeat first boss, you will get an item that will let you make one and then you can later on make a better one and so on.

[high summit]

oof

ye my friend isnt on unfortunately

[loud linden]

Believe in yourself. Be patient, maximise your opportunities; Eikthyr is a pussy.

[high summit]

nah i js dont wanna progress without him too much 😭

[round fossil]

Can I use pictures from the press & creators pack in a music video? I can't find licensing anywhere on https://www.valheimgame.com/press/

[small nest]

fine, then, prepare you and your friend for a skirmish, youll wan't a better armour and flint weapons

[high summit]

leather?

tbf i change my mind i think ill try to solo

[small nest]

yes, the leather one provides you with 6 defense which is crucial

well good luck then

[high summit]

leather will be so annoying considering i have to basically farm boars

[honest summit]

No, leather armor needs deer hide.

[high summit]

oh thats good

ty

[small nest]

the one from boars is rag which gives only 2 defense with full set

[willow raft]

Does anyone remember that deathsquito base defense with a greydwarf shaman?

[weak cove]

Not looking for a spoiler, my buddy and I are playing the ashlands as they are. However, is there some sort of mechanism to stop the near constant spawning of the charred, or is that just part of the biome? If there is a mechanism beyond crafting tables (which just get destroyed) then a "yes" is appreciated, rather than the actual mechanism. Thank you!

[lilac coyote]

Same way you normally suppress spawns.

[dim vale]

I started a new world with fire stuff enabled on normal settings. Also I made an indoor fire. From a yt tutorial I know the fire should have ||3m|| distance(radius) to any flammable wood structure for the yellow sparks not to spread fire.
Now I placed some cooking stations.
I notice the cooking station does take damage by the fireplace. I think I once saw a red spark, that can fly up to ||6m|| radius?
-> Are those cooking stations a risk for burning my house down?! https://i.imgur.com/NYQti6M.jpeg

[vernal terrace]

im having bug where i cannot destroy the kiln and when i mine copper it takes like 5 second to drop

[honest summit]

What happens when you try to destroy the kiln?
Are you playing on a server?
Is there another player's ward nearby?
Does anything else lag like that?

[loud linden]

I find I can't destroy things all the time. Restart your computer, reset your internet connection. If you're running a dedicated server restart it. Then, if it's not fixed, I think we just all need to write it off as early access. But, make the devs aware.

[distant charm]

wtf a ashlands spawner just randomly appeared infront of my base??
is that possible??

[true steeple]

Did you get the spawner raid?

[distant charm]

not that i know

[true steeple]

One of the new raids has charred enemies and the other has charred spawners

[distant charm]

awh i see

[primal dove]

ew

[cursive pilot]

anyone having trouble getting multicraft mod to work?

sorry wrong tab

[boreal cobalt]

how can I get a lot of black marble for building?

[distant charm]

how do i make these catch fire and turn to coal

[distant charm]

put a stonegrinder near a dwerger tower, and smash it with ur hammer

[boreal cobalt]

I think you can use staff of embers

[atomic dock]

Ashlands touchdown tips? Entire party of 3 got ripped apart and is barely holding it together on the shores of Ashlands

don’t even know how we’re gonna build a base with this much spawn

[marble roost]

Need random meteors in Ashlands to hit them. Make sure they're not inside a shield

I think the meteors fall at all times, but there's a lot more of them during storms

[vague goblet]

Make sure you're prioritizing the proper food combinations and are rested, take some potions too. I'd have two people kite the enemies while the third sets up a very basic portal structure. Also, don't try to land near spawners and if you do prioritize taking them out ASAP.

If you have any mage's in the group the summons help alleviate the mobs a bit. Also worth noting that a lot of the enemies in the Ashlands will damage each other so use that to your advantage.

[atomic dock]

I’m actually trying summons but can’t get them to spawn fast enough ig, and it’s getting hard to keep them alive?

but I’ll keep these tips in mind, thanks!

[weak cove]

Run summons, then orb of protection on them, then a healing mead for you. But yes, it is tough. And fun, don't get me wrong.

[spark reef]

What exactly am I supposed to do in Mistlands? I keep finding islands with trees and magecap, but thats about it

[marble roost]

Find structures with friendly fellas that may have something you want

Find structures guarded by hideous bugs, and potentially find a dungeon entrance with important loot

[spark reef]

Thanks, ive been sailing for a while and I guess I just had no luck, found some rangers swimming in the water once but that was about it. Didnt think Mistlands would be like this lol

[marble roost]

Yea it can take a good amount of exploration to find stuff with the mist everywhere. Often times the places of interest will have a wisp torch outside dispelling the mist, which makes them easier to see (Doesn't always have one though)

Getting to a high vantage point to look out over the mist can potentially help spot important locations too

[vale ledge]

Hello, I just found out that there is silver, I went first to the mountain and then to the swamp and I skipped that area... is it a normal problem?

[marble roost]

Basically you have to go in a specific order of biomes to progress in the game.

You (basically) need to go to swamp before mountain, because swamp gives you what you need to find silver in the mountains.

You want to progress through and beat the boss of the biome in this order:
Meadows --> Black Forest --> Swamp --> Mountain --> Plains --> Mistlands --> Ashlands

[vague goblet]

There are ways to skip biomes but since it sounds like your first playthrough it's worth re-visiting the mountains after the swamp for sure.

I did the same thing during my first playthrough though because I encountered a mountain before the swamp and didn't realize there was a specific progression.

[rigid sail]

does the boss in multiplayer scale with the number of player connected or the number of player around the boss when it spawn ?

[rancid mason]

Pretty sure it’s number of players online

[vale ledge]

Of course I got stuck in the boos yagluth, I looked on the internet for advice and I saw the money and better food and I was very surprised, I was getting very frustrated, it's my first game of course how would I know? The mountains seemed much easier to me than the swamp.

[weak cove]

The text in a dedicated server window shows how many are connected. I believe it uses this, not proximity (for good or bad).

[rigid sail]

k

[marble roost]

It in fact does use proximity

scales by every player within 100m

[rigid sail]

sure ?

[marble roost]

sure

[rigid sail]

k thx

[marble roost]

Can also look it up on the valheim wiki

[high summit]

i killed eikthyr. someone mentioned i can get smth from him that can allow me to craft a pickaxe. what is it?

[small nest]

hard antlers, combine these with wood near the workbench

[solemn oasis]

if my bow breaks can i teleport back home and repair and continue my boss fight?

[small nest]

you should get somethign around 3 so 3 pickaxes from this

[solemn oasis]

or does boss HP reset when I return? 🤔

[high summit]

ty

oh i didnt notice it

[small nest]

1. depends on what you have in inventory, if no ore or anything like that then yes
2. no boss health bar stays the same but few days (in game) after quitting the bossfight boss may regenerate

[high summit]

does anyone know what i need for a stonecutter?

[small nest]

long way to get one, youll need better metals from another biome after the black forest, biome is usually found near water so note that (also around 1km from spawn should spawn)

[high summit]

ok wow

i js wanted to build a base

what is the biome called tho?

i know a copper deposit somewhere in the bf so thats good

[small nest]

swamp, probably one of the most dangerous biomes

[high summit]

ah

[small nest]

in these, youll need to watch your step cause there are many things that are quite sneaky

in my opinion the game starts to be the real valheim in swamps tier of the game

[marble roost]

You need to beat the black forest boss before you can go to the swamp and get metals there

[high summit]

the deer guy? i beat him

[marble roost]

Nope. Boss after Deer

[small nest]

the next boss

[marble roost]

Deer is Meadows, next boss is Black Forest

[high summit]

im acc done

[past compass]

You don't need to kill the 2nd boss for a stone cutter, 2 night time kills in the swamp should do the trick unless you're unlucky with the drops.

[drowsy grove]

Anyone know the id for sulfur arches? Ive looked on google everywhere and tried putting in codes similar to ore nodes, none have worked so far

[high summit]

does strip mining exist in this game or do i HAVE to go to dungeons for surtling cores?

[turbid mantle]

No strip mining it’s all nodes that don’t respawn. Theres settling cores in the swamp but that’s harder to do than the dungeons of Black Forest

The more you mine large areas the more your game will lag as well

[high summit]

oh well

[drowsy grove]

The actual sulfur rock you can pick up is "pickable_sulfurrock"

The arch itself is "cliff_ashlands3_arch_1"
Seems u cant spawn the arch with sulfur already on it🤷‍♂️

[fathom badge]

Once you conquer the swamps you'll probably have more Surtling cores than you know what to do with (they make nice fireworks if you use them on a fire), and the Burial Chambers will be a trivial exercise anyway if you somehow don't find a Surtling spawner.

[high summit]

i found a chamber with many cores compared to another chamber where i only found 1

[primal dove]

That's normal

[fathom badge]

That too... there can be a fair bit of variablility between dungeons, and sometimes you just roll snake eyes.

[high summit]

hol up is this place the summon for "the elder" or is it supposed to only give u the location?

[fathom badge]

Just gives you the location, puts the nearest one on your map for you (I believe there are 4 or 5 in the world overall)

[high summit]

ah

ty then

[past compass]

You might have to zoom out your map if you missed the initial pop up. Some times it can be a bit far from your current location.

[small nest]

also i dont recommend trying to get new one's because they are usually located near very dangerous places (usually near the edge of the world)

just stick to the 1st location you get

[primal dove]

Dangerous places can be fun

[vale ledge]

@lofty orchid Can I post an ad to open a server? it does not let me

what happens when you try in #1024264966712340510 ?

hmm, not sure what the issue is. You should have permission

[drifting prawn]

fyi i solved my issue by using opengl instead of vulkan

[turbid mantle]

does the wisp-attractor take damage from the sap refiner?

[solemn oasis]

with iron armor can I beat trolls?

[turbid mantle]

That’s the armor from the biome after trolls so yeah it’s overkill if anything

[vague goblet]

You shouldn't just be tanking hits from a troll no matter what armor set you're wearing if that's what you're attempting to do.

[solemn oasis]

well yeah i went from leather armor---Iron

gonna make iron armor/shield/

hate sailing this is my seed

(found it on reddit)

[primal dove]

Is that still valid for ashlands?

Looks like it should be, but probably worth checking

[lilac coyote]

It's not. You can tell because biomes attach to Ashlands.

[primal dove]

The circled portion might be, though

[restive holly]

Is there any way to roll back a dedicated server to the stable build before Ashlands?

[fathom badge]

Go to the betas tab:

[fathom badge]

But if you're talking a company you're paying for hosting from, you'll have to hit up their support

[azure tapir]

how do i fix this? was going to ashlands and my boat went down and now i cannot move after RR the game

[fathom badge]

That's a side effect seen with certain mods. Either remove the mods, or go check in #mods-issues

[azure tapir]

ty

[solemn oasis]

still can use this world ash lands is on the bottom

isnt that the biome ash lands?

[fathom badge]

What? Yeah, that's how the Ashlands are intended to be?

[solemn oasis]

oh

i just thought it said obselete world..cus i found this old seen on reddit lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1956u0r/best_seed_i_have_found/?sort=new source 🤷🏿‍♂️

[fathom badge]

Ahh. No, try it on valheim-map.world, but at a glance it looks like it should be correct.

[solemn oasis]

ty

[primal dove]

Yeah, the part you wanted should still work

[restive holly]

I'm talking about running our own dedicated server. We downloaded using the steam cmds and are trying to figure out how to pick the specific build before Ashlands.

[primal dove]

Any way to pull a seed from a hosted world?

[lilac coyote]

Ask the server owner.

[fathom badge]

Ask in #dedicated-server , they know more than I do 😉

[fair pier]

Wait.. I thought you cook it in Iron station?

[winged panther]

Any idea why I wouldn't be unlocking elemental weapons once I have picked up gems and flametal, and have the black forge at level 5?

All of the base item recipes are there.

[rain stag]

You need to make the base weapon first

[winged panther]

I did that too.

Found a workaround.

[modern pulsar]

Strange one here guys, on our server everything spawnable (dungeons, fuling villages etc) haven't loaded at all. I went exploring some distance to setup a portal for our howling cavern and noticed it was there, nor the frost caves nearby (however checking the same seed in single player showed them), i then used cheats to fly around and fuling camps and other things havent spawned at all. Tried rolling back a few hours and things were the same, outside of rolling back a little bit further I figured I'd ask for any help or info, anyone know what the issue could be?

[fathom badge]

Is the iron cooking station fully over a fire? Also... you don't need to "use" it from your hotbar if that's what you're trying. You just need to hit E on the cooking station.

[fathom badge]

You guys running any mods? That almost sounds like a data corruption issue

[modern pulsar]

just some qol mods like veinmine, equipment and quickslots, azucraftyboxes. all mods ive been running from when we first started the map too

[distant lantern]

Quick question, has anyone had problems with the bonemaw dragging their ships below the water and NOT killing the player?

[modern pulsar]

so i tried testing another spot, a unyet explored sealed tower area not too far away from a place we had explored, when i teleported there it wasn't there (neither was anything else at all), however i stayed there a few minutes and then it just popped in right next to me, then a fuling village not far from me aswell. I wonder if its a server connection issue and its just not loading in/lagging badly?

[distant lantern]

I am running mods, has happened twice now

[halcyon crag]

i've had the same thing POI's loading super slowly

[modern pulsar]

minutes though? seems weird

[halcyon crag]

yeah

[modern pulsar]

ahh ok, ill wait here and see if it pops up

[halcyon crag]

this is what i get until they finally pop in

[distant lantern]

Apparently it has to do with a floating item mod, going to try and turn it off and see if it kills me then

[modern pulsar]

yeah that seems similar. trees, rocks, grass etc load always, its the structures and things that dont/havent yet

[halcyon crag]

the Queen POI took the longest of all

[modern pulsar]

atleast that seems a server connection issue and not a world corruption or anything

[halcyon crag]

yeh, i have that too xD

[rain stag]

Apparently you can block faders metors with the shield generator. How do you prevent the generator from getting nuked by Fader's ground flames?

[halcyon crag]

aside from my submerged garden just out of shot there are floating trees rocks and some funky terrain

[fair pier]

Yes i believe so, since its in the middle of hearth horizontal wise

But ill try moving it around and see what happens

[still bridge]

I am posting this so maybe some other poor soul looking for help might search this Discord and find my post.

Anyways, a significant number of people are unable to play Valheim because doing so brings down their home networks. The root cause of this is that Valheim forces you to reach out to every Valheim server in existence who all then provide data on themselves, to you. This results in an absolutely absurd amount of traffic from "unknown endpoints" globally. Your internet may stop working because of DDoS protection, table issues, or just a modem/router unable to handle so much traffic. It is incredible to watch.

So what are the fixes?

• A VPN. This will 100% fix the issue. We are all aware at just how much effort and time the Valheim devs put into their game networking but a VPN can add significant latency. You'll need to pick a good one. Keep that in mind.
• Lowering Steam's "Pings per minute" to 250. This may solve the issue but also may cause server lists to populate slowly.
• Disable uPnP from your modem/router. Unlikely but definitely try it. Your ISP might also tell you Valheim is a "uPnP game" and they don't support it.
• Download and install "FastLink" by AzuMatt which is hosted on Thunderstore. Google "AzuMatt FastLink" to find the download. There are great instructions but the mod will not work without configuring a yaml file. If you need help, ping me or add me as a friend. This is the best solution. You never have to query servers - just join a server that you've add in your configuration file. This bypasses the head scratching choice to query all servers.

Hopefully this helps someone in the future.

[tender wharf]

im noticing some huge performance issues

with dedicated servers, it seems like everytones ping increases based on the peer who has the highest ping, which makes no sense

[inland wadi]

Does anyone know what the exact number is that enemies' difficulty increases by with each player present in the server?

[woven canyon]

hey, what would cause recipies from the ashlands not showing on a lvl 6 cauldron? (all ingriedients known)🍽️

[honest summit]

"Creature damage is further increased by 4% and effective health is further increased by 30% for each additional player within 100 meters. These are also applied to tamed creatures. This scaling caps at 5 players." (wiki)

[viral narwhal]

Have ya tried putting all the ingredients back in your inventory?

[woeful pivot]

doesnt like you

[mystic solar]

That is a byproduct of how Valheim handles multiplayer. First player to enter a given chunk of the world basically is the server for that chunk, so if their machine/connection is slow, everyone gets bad performance. And even if they aren't the chunk owner, a bad connection will affect general networking as every nearby player gets polled for certain things happening in the world.

[wraith gorge]

i wish we could dispel this fog 😦

[tender wharf]

wth thats insane, why?

is there a way to turn this off so bad ping players cant become hosts? ive never seen any multiplayer game networked this way

[mystic solar]

Afraid not, you can only try to work around it by having those with weaker setups not be the first to jump into a portal, or run ahead when out exploring in a group.
There is a mod which can improve networking performance somewhat, I think it needs to be installed both on the server and the clients.

[tender wharf]

sauce?

[mystic solar]

look for "better networking"

[restive holly]

right on thank you!

[modest flame]

my game crashed and the server got back to last save after that i think im having invisible stack of iron in inventory and i cant move cant drop it did anyone had this issue ? (server is modded)

[willow raft]

Got other iron nearby?
If so pick that up or drop it if you have another stack and the invisible one might make a reappearance.

[modest flame]

i foundout that i can put that iron in forge but it seems that i got more stuff that i cant see i can even put other items in those places but im gaining more and more weight

[willow raft]

I've experienced invisible stacks without mods, so it can happen and I was always able to make it reappear by picking up the same thing again.

[modest flame]

i got full stack of iron and still cant see it

[willow raft]

You could try turning of the mods and go into the game vanilla and see if that fixes things.

[modest flame]

is there any coomand to maybe clear my inventory

nvm i just died and it fixed the problem but thanks for response

[dim vale]

anyone does know? I'm pretty unsure. Sorry for the bump

[verbal folio]

Is there seeds for the smoke puffs and fiddleheads? Or are they not plantable on Xbox

[compact heath]

not plantable anywhere

[verbal folio]

Thank you

[compact heath]

xbox and pc and mac is all the same game mechanics

[atomic dock]

not once has anything like this even come close to burning my house on current patch, but i'll just say "that's just me" in case of the 1 in a million chance of your house burning down

[verbal folio]

Yes but you get mods on pc including plant everything which is why I added Xbox

[compact heath]

Ah I see yeah. I keep forgetting about mods sometime as I never used them

[atomic dock]

this channel discusses vanilla gameplay mostly, so you don't have to worry about that

mods players should be using #mods-discussion

[verbal folio]

Cool good to know I wasn't sure if it was all around help which was why I was covering bases thanks guys

[north perch]

Is there anyway to set my steam version to 218.15 so i can connect to my friend on xbox until they get the update to .16

[lilac coyote]

All platforms are on the same version.

[stray knoll]

hello guys! is it worth it to u pgrade trollstav?

[fleet hollow]

Valheim on Xbox supports the mods?

[lilac coyote]

No, XBox doesn't support mods.

[fair pier]

when I entered the world inside queen chambers I fell out of the world

anyway to get back up?

Im just falling forever

[keen zodiac]

are there secret channels in this discord server? 🙂

[fair pier]

My friend just recalled me

[willow raft]

Any mods? If so it might happen again.
To get backup, enable console and then use goto 0 0 and that should put you back at spawn.

[prisma moon]

how many carrots do boars eat? i threw 23 carrots for 23 boars

a lot of the pigs there are still hungry

[lilac coyote]

Of course. You're even in a bunch of them.

[keen zodiac]

well, aside from the PTB one's?

[lilac coyote]

And the Wiki ones.

[keen zodiac]

I'm following all in channels browse yet i can't find these 3 on the bottom

[lilac coyote]

Huh? that's just showing you who is active in the voice channels.

[keen zodiac]

yep, but i can only find the top 3 in vc's, and the bottom 3 are not visible for me in any channels. I guess that means they are in a channel which i don't have access to?

[buoyant peak]

The PTB still isn't in live

[lilac coyote]

Well no, it's the PTB version, but we weren't talking about that.

[keen zodiac]

u r right, that's 218.15 which is the main release version

16 is the PTB

[lilac coyote]

I usually am.

[willow raft]

1 each but they go hungry after a while again and if the boars are too far away from the carrots they won't go to the carrots to eat them.
Also if you have left render range and gone back in you might have inadvertently picked up the carrots before they were all done eating.

[silk fable]

Does anyone know off the top of thier head if comfort from fire is determined in a sphere or a cylinder?

[cedar ledge]

Help guys. Just came back after a few years afk from Valheim.

When i build, and i want to destroy something, the key for it says 'Forward' .. hitting W which is my Forward key does nothing. Help 😦

[keen zodiac]

by forward it means the side mouse buttons
depending on your mouse their location might be on the left or right side of the mouse

If you have changed your mouse and no longer have any side buttons you can change the forward key to any other available keys on your keyboard or mouse (middle click, by default)
Esc > Settings > Keyboard and Mouse Controls

[cedar ledge]

Found it - i have 6 keys on the side of my mouse, it was one of those. Thanks a bunch 🙂

Weird that i cant assign hotkeys for such things ingame.

[keen zodiac]

why? i can assign those keys easily, probably your game didn't recognised your mouse well, a restart might fix it or probably try running the game with elevated permissions.

[last osprey]

it's a sphere

at least for hanging braziers

[cedar ledge]

I mean, the forward key is 'w' by default, no?

[keen zodiac]

nope, it's one of the side buttons

[cedar ledge]

I'm dumb. Didnt see the key for 'deconstruct' in settings, never mind, and thanks 🙂

[keen zodiac]

the label kinda wore off but you can still see the "FOR" from "forward"

and the other one is "Backwards"

[lost swift]

So - if you can't build a Forge Cooler or Anvils without a Forge nearby, why does it have Workbench as a build requirement instead of Forge?

It's an almost inconsequential thing but I'm curious whether there was a specific reason behind it as intuitively, you'd think it would require a Forge instead of Workbench

[keen zodiac]

agreed

even with the tool racks and shelfs
the workbench one requires forge but the forge one requires workbench 🙂
whereas both has metal (iron) in it's build requirement

this thing should've been like the black forge and galdr table
only requiring the corresponding table

[lost swift]

I off-by-1'd this and meant to post it in the chat channel my bad

[cedar ledge]

Sh1t.
I died when i arrived at a far away island. I have just killed first boss, and wanted to go exploring.
I spawned back at the altar or whatever its called. Can i somehow get my items back without having to start over to make a raft and sail for 20+ mins? 😦

[keen zodiac]

You can either cheat to fly there or call in a friend with a boat who can sail you there faster

[lilac coyote]

Just go through the nearest portal and sail from there.

[cedar ledge]

I just started. Im on a multiplayer server i think. Dont have friends playing

[keen zodiac]

Which server?
You can ask the admins/mods to help you out.

[solemn oasis]

with poison resist and iron armor+ mace is the swamp boss easy?

[high summit]

how can i make myself an admin in a world (and can i like tp or fly or wtv as an admin)?

[lilac coyote]

Assuming you mean a dedicated server, you'll need to add your Steam ID to the adminlist.txt file. Bear in mind, admin commands are just things like kick and ban.

[keen zodiac]

you don't even need the iron armor set, it's the worst place to waste your irons.
root set or troll set is enough, you just have to dodge roll

[solemn oasis]

im not that skilled

[keen zodiac]

Which damage type is used by axes for cutting trees?
Isn't it slash? or is it chop?

[lilac coyote]

Chop.

[keen zodiac]

I have been carrying around a black metal axe all these time thinking that it'll cut trees faster 🥲

@torn lagoon sorry I was wrong 🙂
Jotun bane is better for cutting trees

[bold surge]

I think it does no? Pretty sure I remember seeing the damage numbers still come up for the chop damage and Black Metal Axe was only beaten by Berserkir axes
Oh that's right and Jotun Bane yes yes

[lost tundra]

how do i find anglerfish? all i get in mistlands is pufferfish

[bold surge]

But like, if a tree has 90 HP and you hit it with blackmetal axe for 33, Jotun does 37, and Berserkir does 42... they all still take 3 chops

[lost tundra]

is there any difference between pufferfish and anglerfish spawn rules?

[marble roost]

but could change depending on Elder power and woodcutting skill

[real nebula]

Pufferfish is ocean, anglerfish is Mistlands

[bold surge]

There is an Elder ability? (but seriously)
yea of course, probably best to just keep carrying the best axe--- plus Berserkir Axes are... actually a good weapon xD

[marble roost]

True. Battleaxes are also fun for wood chopping, especially wood farms

[solemn oasis]

https://i.imgur.com/h56MPBz.jpeg

possible to parry this guy??

or should I range

[marble roost]

Yes. But bosses do not stagger when you parry them, so it is generally better to dodge

[solemn oasis]

oh didnt know ty

what the heck tho, my weapon durability runs out b4 his HP 😭

[marble roost]

yup yup, happens in some bossfights. Bring a spare or portal back to base to repair!

[keen zodiac]

Am I the only one who thinks bonemass is the easiest boss to defeat after eitkhyr?

[solemn oasis]

anyone wanna help me with bone mass? or do i need to make LFG for that

[keen zodiac]

I can do that

[solemn oasis]

lemme get my stuff, this boss is tanky asf

[buoyant peak]

It does, Jotun band and berserker axes are better.

In that order

That's 60, 70 and 80 chop dmg respectively

[distant charm]

what is ur games fav armor in ashlands

[bold lynx]

why is the mistlands so hard to navigate? the wisp light lets me see like 1 inch in front of me

[fair pier]

Does anyone know the prefab name of these mini trees?

cant find it in the github prefab list

[pearl mortar]

Guessing birch sapling?

[fair pier]

I found it! Thank you tho

[hollow wyvern]

have they changed the way farming tar works? I'm just asking before I go all in making them. Why im asking this is because I started covering up one pit and the tar just kinda starts to move around, is this normal?

[trail sequoia]

So what's with these cross lines in the Plains biome nowadays and how do I stop it?

[proven ember]

why isnt my charcoal kiln dropping charcoal

[pearl mortar]

X marks the spot. Maybe there's treasure

[marble roost]

ashlands had some terrain updating which caused some buggy lines

[trail sequoia]

Is it being addressed by the devs?

[lilac coyote]

Yes.

[hollow wyvern]

the growths spawned below the ground and then teleported up, is this not the way you have to do it or is there a new way since ashlands?

[lilac coyote]

Farming tar is done by digging a channel to drain the tar as usual.

[hollow wyvern]

wait huh 🥹

i just wasted so much stone then oh my

[true steeple]

Draining the tar allows you to pick up the stuck tar items that were generated with the pit but after that the only way to get more tar from one pit is to kill the growths that occasionally respawn
