[hollow wyvern]

ohhh okay so, that latter is what i've wanted to try to do. I didn't even know you could do the former, I should drain the pit first and then make it farmable?

[true steeple]

Yes, you will get a lot of tar by doing that

[lilac coyote]

The growths themselves drop very little.

[true steeple]

I usually get all my tar by draining a pit and finding another, farming the growths as they respawn is too slow

[viscid furnace]

Hello,
Does someone have a link for the mob spawn mechanics? The link I found is dead, and I can't remember it on the top of my head

[viscid furnace]

Thanks 🙂

[onyx parrot]

Hello dear developers, while playing Valheim at the moment I encountered the following problem: while completing the third Hildir quest I had to overcome the sealed tower, while going on a trip I was faced with the fact that I did not find this tower (and in two places at once). I am attaching screenshots. Please help me figure out the problem.

[wraith gorge]

What do you need to do to put down a mortan and pestle? Says more space, seems i have to clear things up

[compact heath]

If you talked to Hildir before the Ashlands update, the locations will be wrong, you can delete them and talk to Hildir again to mark the correct ones, the Ashlands update changed a lot of locations including bosses as well, so the same applies to a lot of bossstones you have not yet visited the location of if you got the location before ashlands update

[onyx parrot]

Unfortunately I don’t understand how to delete a task

[compact heath]

just rightlick with mouse on that marker on PC, you also don't have to do it, to remove it from map

[onyx parrot]

yes its I took the task long before Ashland came out

[compact heath]

if you talk to Hildir she will mark the new locations even if you don't remove old ones from map

and the same will likely happen to boss locations that you got marked on map before ashlands, but havent visited yet on the landmass

[onyx parrot]

is that correct action?

[compact heath]

yes

now you need to talk to Hildir again and she will add the correct locations

[onyx parrot]

Can you do the same with other markers?

[compact heath]

yes you can

[onyx parrot]

Thanx a lot, i will try it

[compact heath]

for the bosses to re-add the new ones you need to use a vegvisir, for Hildir its easy as you just have to talk to her again

[onyx parrot]

I clicked talk, but no new markers appeared on the map

[lilac coyote]

Click on the map....

[fringe sundial]

check the pedistal in front of her with a tiny map.

[onyx parrot]

uuuh yes! this helped, thank you very much

[compact heath]

should have the new updated and correct locations now, and remember if you got your next boss location this might also be wrong if gotten before ashlands update

[lean roost]

Does anybody know how to get ahold of the Valheim support team for help? It redirected me to the discord but I don't know who to talk to

[marble roost]

Direct message @lofty orchid I think

[real nebula]

Er, for what specifically? Modmail is for discord issues, not game help or such

[lean roost]

Its about an issue with missing meta data and my worlds being gone

[lean roost]

So the mod mail won't help? I never really use discord too much so I don't know too much about

[real nebula]

Modmail is more for disputes where people are getting harassed or spamming the channels

Ingame support, asking questions here or in the bug discussion channels is the way to go

[proven ember]

why isnt my charcoal kiln dropping charcoal

[floral token]

Will the Ashlands ||catapults return all materials when broken, including the cogwheels||?

[marble roost]

Should yeah

[dapper cradle]

what is best a copper sword or a copper atgeir? (i in the start of the game)

[floral token]

both can kill the monsters you need it to kill, it's really up to what you like more -- they're both completely viable.

[dapper cradle]

thx

[buoyant peak]

None considering neither of those weapons exist...

||It's bronze, and atgeir is the best choice until the next biome where mace would be a better choice against the most annoying enemies. Sword only against a specific enemy||

[stoic trench]

Been away from the game for awhile, got my PC setup and updated the game (from PTB to standard update) and now Valheim seems to be running poorly; lagging, stuttering, and very low FPS. It was running just fine a month or so ago, wondering if someone had any tips? Maybe I miss something?

[floral token]

if you changed boot.config stuff, that will need to be done again. Anytime you update the game or renew the game files, it'll restore the original version from Valheim.

[naive salmon]

I have a question about Ashlands. Is there anyway to reduce or elimnate the heat shimmer effect? I don't know why but for me it makes Ashlands unplayable because it starts giving me headaches after just a few minutes.

[floral token]

||Shield Generator removes weather inside of it completely||

[naive salmon]

@floral token yes, however, that doesn't help when I start exploring I honestly can't play Ashlands for more than about 5 minutes without starting to get a headache.

[floral token]

interesting. perhaps the biome is just not for you, several of us have been able to play for hours upon hours without headaches.

[naive salmon]

It stinks because I have enjoyed what I have seen of Ashlands and love both new building materials as well. If someone can recommend a video setting or mod that would help I would greatly appreciate it.

[floral token]

there are several particle effect settings, i wonder if those would change something for ya

[stoic trench]

I don’t think I did, but I’ll give it a shot. How do I go about verifying the game files? Not super tech savvy, apologies in advance.

[floral token]

If you didn't change it, it's probably going to be the same. In Steam library, if you right click on Valheim and go Properties, the Installed FIles section has a verification button

also, try vulkan if you haven't; you can launch valheim with vulkan on the general tab of those properties

[opal obsidian]

Why am I finding fulings and seekers in the black forest with neither of those biomes close by...

[stoic trench]

If you’ve defeated their respective bosses, I believe they start appearing

[stoic trench]

Tried verifying and using Vulcan, neither seems to have any changes. Getting lag even in the title menu, very weird.

[gloomy edge]

do other games have lag?

[stoic trench]

Nope, checked a handful of other games, seem to working fine.

[stoic trench]

Even Eldenring runs buttery smooth.

[chilly barn]

I died and lost all my special items, is there a way to revert back to a previous save point?

[fringe sundial]

if it was a standard death, you will have a gravestone with all your equipment in it (like a storage chest) where you died. If it wasn't (like a changed world modifier or game glitch), then you might just have to re-earn those items lost or use cheats.

[last latch]

which of these do i send to my buddy for him to host the world

[last latch]

on second thought how would i give my buddy the world files?

[chilly barn]

I was able to restore from a previous version, but ty though... I had died and there was a mark on the map but no body

[quartz cairn]

none, look for Erebor.db and Erebor.fwl

[last latch]

would they be in worlds or worlds_local?

[quartz cairn]

worlds_local

[last latch]

aight

ok

so my game keeps on going to the "valheim.exe is not responding" whenever i try booting up a world(solo, not hosting), i tried verifying integrity, reinstalling, making a new world, and going on a different character and neither of these worked, does anyone know how to fix this?

[past vapor]

yo so I have a quick question
is there anyway i can transfer my stuff from a old version to the most recent version?

[quartz cairn]

give it a few mins

[last latch]

just let it linger? aight

[odd siren]

Are there community servers? And if there are how do i join them?

[quartz cairn]

many -> https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[odd siren]

Mb gang

[somber canopy]

do the ||flamemetal pillar||s come back up after they sink?

[atomic dock]

they don't, however there's a bug right now that if you ||unload the area with a portal while it's sinking, it fails to sink|| and comes back up
definitely bug and will 100% get fixed though

[astral tapir]

guys im losing my mind. i think im on my 30th death in the ashlands. how are you guys able to not die so much?

[rain stag]

Don't aggro so many things at once and don't run further into uncleared areas when you have aggro

[astral tapir]

im assuming kill what's there, campfire the rest to prevent spawning, and keep exploring?

[tidal prism]

Hey guys, I first created my world nearly 2 years ago. Is it like minecraft where where I haven't explored will generate new content? I only played for like an hour or two so we didn't even leave the spawn island. Also what is the next step after farming bronze?

[rain stag]

No, it's more like crossing a road.
Aggroing a few charred is fine, most cannot keep up with you when walking.
Aggro vultures and lava blobs means swatting them aside asap.
Keep your eyes open for Asksvins like they are cars. Clear the area and shoot them with a bow to pull them.
Valkyrie or Morgens can be seen from very far. Avoid them or Clear a large area and hunt them

If stuff get too overwhelming, equip feathercapes and stamina potions and jump up ruins and rocks to get some respite.

I don't recommend blind exploration in Ashlands. Use your map and mark ruins or certain types of rocks and spires as safe places to quickly put down portals and leap frog through the lands with a safety net portal at hand.

When you make Asksvin cloak or tame Asksvins, you got enough speed to outrun everything and can afford to be a little reckless

[sturdy iris]

does anyone know the ID or a way do recreate these "bushes" of flora?

[astral tapir]

you're the goat! yeah i've been clearing slowly, and then it's that one awful moment where everything attacks at once

i'm thinking to just avoid going at night so i can see the asksvins

[rain stag]

Oh yeah. Definitely avoid night travel, there's no good loot from most mobs except Asksvins which you can farm safely

Oh and last tip is to avoid putting any wooden structures on plain ground. Fire attacks from anywhere (incl rain) will create bush fire that turns wood into charcoal. I only build in ruins to avoid any nasty surprises.

[astral tapir]

Oh yeah I've been actually deliberately putting wood piles ON fire to turn it into charcoal and it seems to work really well actually

[atomic dock]

that's almost like a QoL feature ngl

[rain stag]

It is, instant charcoal for all my smelting needs which I have a ton of from Flametal ores. I tore down and converted my kilins to smelters now to keep up

[minor grove]

I have a lag problem that appears sometimes. When pressing f2, I have over 16000 instances. We have build a pretty huge base, but when I move away from the base by teleporter, the instances should drop, shouldn't it? Also, I'm hosting on my own computer, will my partner who are connecting to me be making instances and lag on my computer when they are in our base?

[sturdy iris]

optterrain

in console

maybe this will help a bit, but building a lot sure lag the terrain

[minor grove]

Thanks, I'll try. I'm still wondering about why it doesn't disappear with distance tho

[chrome sierra]

or the morgen just comes out of the ground

[honest summit]

Those are not objects, they automatically appear on grassed land and water.

[rain stag]

Wait, do vulture nest actually respawn vultures? If I smash them, they will be gone forever?

[keen zodiac]

".serverbackup" and ".signature" never saw these files before.
what are these? I knew about only ".fch" and ".fch.old"

[woeful pivot]

no they spawn as long as there are no workbenches nearby

[woeful pivot]

have task manager open and as soon as it stops responding go to task manager - details - search for valheim.exe - right click and set priority to high. worked for me

[willow raft]

If it is the first time you are generating a world or getting back into a world after the ashland update it can take quite a while, 5-10 minutes is about average but longer times have also been reported.
So having patience is the key, start the game load a world and go make some tea (or coffee), a snack and take a bathroom break.
Should be running smoothly after you come back from that.
The next times you load that world should go way faster.

[marble roost]

Yes, unexplored areas update. Try not to go to the tippy top of the map, because theres a biome there that will be updated eventually

[prisma moon]

how many boars will i need for a constant stream of boar meat

currently have 23 in my pen and they wont breed anymore

[willow raft]

Then 23 is the max the pen can hold, kill half to 2/3th and let them start breeding again.

[high summit]

what do i craft first: bronze pickaxe or bronze axe? (i have full bronze armour w a q2 bronze sword)

and i think i wanna do the elder soon

[buoyant peak]

Axe

[high summit]

do i not need the pick for metals from the swamp?

[buoyant peak]

Antler pickaxe works for that

[high summit]

swamp is after elder right?

hol up finewood can be obtained from birch im guessing?

[willow raft]

Correct and oak trees.

[high summit]

alr ty guys

[versed zodiac]

is mistlands supposed to look like that or is that bugged generation ?

[rain stag]

Looks normal to me, welcome to jaggered rock hell

[versed zodiac]

oh god, thanks

[visual radish]

It's only bugged terrain if there are seekers there.

[willow raft]

Any terrain is bugged if there are seekers or ticks.

[azure oar]

Hello i have recently started playing the game for the first time with some others. I noticed that players can create characters, cheat stuff in a local world and than take their characters on our server. Is there anyway to prevent that?

[atomic dock]

you can look into the ServerCharacters mod, however mods are PC version only and everyone has to install it

[humble storm]

when is event horde is atacking,we kill moder but onli wolfs atack ass and brena

[azure oar]

Thats perfect thanks a lot

[atomic dock]

they're random, up to moder means anywhere from 7 to 10 events can spawn randomly, so you're just not really lucky

but if you're relying on raids to get fuling drops, that's gonna take a million years to get everything you need lol

[small nest]

there are mostly mountains but you can also find lower places in which grows another useful plant

[past vapor]

yo so I have a quick question
is there anyway i can transfer my stuff from a old version to the most recent version?

[willow raft]

Yes, fill inventory, go to new world, put it all away in chests, back to old world and repeat.
If you mean buildings, no you'll have to rebuild them.

[past vapor]

but i crash when i do that

[willow raft]

Nope the game stops working since the new update was huge and you will have to wait an average of 5-10 minutes before the world is generated, longer times have also been reported.
Best thing to do is load world, go make some tea, a snack and take a bathroom break, it should have loaded by the time you get back.

[terse panther]

Hello ! Is it possible to tighten the rope when you use the harpoon ?

[marble roost]

No, just by running away from the mob so they get pulled

[terse panther]

ok thank you !

[wild bison]

hey guys, im in desperate need for help with my valheim server (hosted on G-Portal). is there anyone that could lend me a hand ?

[marble roost]

maybe try in #dedicated-server

[modern laurel]

so i have mods turned on and bepinx keeps on showing this error

anyone know why this happens ?

[lilac coyote]

That's one for #mod-issues

[modern laurel]

thx

[misty moon]

need someone who's willing to help with a rescue mission to help me retrieve my corpse body with my loot. Died at a dvergr fortress. Enemies are tough. Playing modded with Creaturelevelandlootcontrol

[marble roost]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630 maybe

[misty moon]

I have a portal that's 20 seconds away from my corpse

[celest flint]

probably a no-brainer, but playing on a world that someone else is hosting on their PC should considerably improve my performance since my laptop isn't handling everything, right?

[rigid sail]

what type of damage moder is weak to ?

[atomic dock]

fire

[rigid sail]

k

[lilac coyote]

Depends. If you become chunk master, you're still handling 90% of it.

[kindred crane]

i want to sow carrots, and my worktable in the game is the third level. How soon can I sow?

[past compass]

You need a cultivator to plant things, which in turn requires a forge and 2 different metals from black forest biome.

[visual raft]

Are you not meant to be able to auto-pickup items while riding an asksvin in lava?

[frail mason]

anyone fishing in ashlands? the fish aren't attracted to the bait

[tacit isle]

You need the specific bait for that biome. I do not know exacly witch one it is but this is the rule for every biome.

[marble roost]

Yea it's a bug. I think the test branch currently has a build where its fixed, so hopefully coming soon

[uncut carbon]

Any one else has a problem with constant game crashing? never happened to me before ashlands update

legit got to the point where i cant play for more than 15mins without a crash 😄

i can provide player.log if it would be of any help

[worldly grove]

anyone else having problem with ashlands? I keep getting swarmed by so many mobs at the same time and they keep destroying my portal. idk what to do... now i have no boat or portal and all my gear is lost

is there a way to go to old save files?

[stark kayak]

Yeah ashlands is quite the step up in difficulty lol

How are other ppl faring

[worldly grove]

what is the best loadout to play? I use carpace armor with root chest and for weapons i use mist sword + shield and the big hammer

[visual raft]

If you make a terrain wall, you just have to worry about valkyrie, voltures and lava blobs

it'll take more than one lava blob to knock down the terrain wall enclosed area and you can spawn proof that section

Make a base of operations and venture forth from there

[visual raft]

Mobility is really good in ashlands. fenris or eitr weave while using magic can be quite nice - just run around with your shield up and kite things

[worldly grove]

ooo that's smart, i will try that

[worldly grove]

yeah, i think i will atleast switch out the legs for fenris if i still run the same loadout. I haven't used magic that mutch

[worldly grove]

what is the best way to level up magic skill? I need bloodmagic to get good skellies

[celest tapir]

Anyone has tips to break/sneak into inner fortress door without battering ram?

[marble roost]

Pretty well, for me Ashlands is about same difficulty as swamp so far (imo swamp and Ashlands are the hardest biomes currently in game)

Key is to use enemies friendly fire against each other, and magic (or magic/melee hybrid) playstyle rules

[visual raft]

Skeletons are really dumb in the ashlands - they walk into the lava and water and for whatever reason there's no delay in them taking damage in the water. They end up being a waste of eitr and health

But you can make a greydwarf spawner training area for leveling blood magic - mine was only like level 25 when I started using it in Ashlands and I was fine.

[worldly grove]

i saw on yt many people use them with shield orb and then shoot mobs from a distance while they take the blow

what other magic should i use instead?

[visual raft]

I used shield staff and ice staff mostly when I first got to ashlands and that covered most of my needs. Throw in a mistwalker for stamina backup weapon if you'd like, maybe an arbalest

Once you get get into a fortress and get gems, I really like all of the new staves

[rustic mirage]

Anyone know a good dedicated server that can handle 4 people in the ashland? Our current we bought started lagging like crazy. Everywhere else was fine until we got to the ashlands and everything started to desync as soon has we enter that zone

[visual raft]

For the new staves, Dundr is great for valkyrie and morgen - knockback is strong so you can wait for them to get up close to you and right before they attack, you hit them point blank and knock them out of range. Staff of the Wild is great for kiting - just walk in a circle and put down some vines and they'll take care of most stuff. And in big melees, summoning in a troll to aggro everything works great

I've had the most issues with the janky lavaiathans and general lava shenanigans. The permanent falling issue while mining has killed me more than once

[worldly grove]

thanks, what should i go for first? flametal? what should i craft first?

[visual raft]

Craft whatever you like, but I went for crafting bench upgrades and armor first, since I was fine with my weapons and I wanted a better corpse-run set of armor in case

Then I did a battering ram so I could get into a fortress for gems, did a yolo run with bonemass and full flametal - didn't try to kill anything, really

And I was able to make trollstav and staff of the wild from that run, which made subsequent fortresses much easier

[naive salmon]

Does anyone know a way to reduce the heat shimmer effect in Ashlands? It make the biome unplayable for me because it starts giving me headaches.

[gilded tapir]

is there a place to post things like this with typos? "these s rang for joy*

[lilac coyote]

There's a fix in progress.

[karmic echo]

enybody knows way ??

[honest summit]

I think they need solid gound, stone floors won't do.

[karmic echo]

it got a portal room 4 that reason

i wanna know .. not just think .. the new stone floors an iorn beans under that .. dont understand

[primal dove]

Can you raise the ground to just under the stone floor, put down the portal, then cover the ground with stone floor?

[karmic echo]

nop cant do that .. its on the 3th floor ..

[deft depot]

If I built a island base and I moved the crafting benches from the edges will the building decay or just lock me out of the edting the edges

[high summit]

what is this? (its in my map)

[turbid mantle]

A very nice friend go there

[high summit]

a boss? 😭

[turbid mantle]

It’s friendly I swear and not a boss

[high summit]

bfr

[turbid mantle]

Girl I swear

[high summit]

i aint a girl but alr 😭 (i thought u were being sarcastic)

wth is that

oh its acc friendly lol

[buoyant peak]

Move it around to check if it can be placed somewhere.

Or I think it's only on stone and black marble and ground

[pearl mortar]

I thought they fixed that with the last patch? Or was that just ptb

[buoyant peak]

They did, but don't think they mentioned grausten

[tepid gale]

If my son jumps in the game with me does it make boss fights more difficult?

[loud linden]

I'd say no. The boss might have more health, or hit harder, but it has never overcome the benefit of another player in my experience.

[dapper cradle]

what i need to sumon the second boss?

[honest summit]

Examine the altar, it's depicted there.

[loud linden]

The Valheim Wiki would seem a better (and faster) resource.

[honest summit]

It's ||ancient seeds||

[gentle harbor]

if you build a house really close to water where the water would normally flood the shore during a storm or strong wind would the water still phase through if you had like a full floor + walls?

[spring frigate]

man how tf do i get first 4 scrpa metal on beggining of game

im lcoked out of progression cuz i cant legit find last bit XD

[lilac coyote]

When you say beginning, what biome are you at?

You'll get far more iron in crypts than on the surface.

[spring frigate]

when i mean beginning i mean i jsut put down my first ever flame altar

[visual raft]

Are you playing the right game? Sounds like Enshrouded

[spring frigate]

A FUCK

sorrry xDD

[visual raft]

And there's some by the bridge

And in the shroud below the bridge. Break metal items.

[sweet crescent]

do you get cauldron upgrades in mountins? or at all?

[marble roost]

Yes

In Swamp, Mountains, Plains, Mistlands, and Ashlands you get an upgrade to cauldron

[sweet crescent]

swamp? pardon me? i didnt see any upgrade for the cauldron and i just got out of the swamp

[marble roost]

Need to find turnips, they're semi-rare and hard to spot

[sweet crescent]

what do they look like?

[marble roost]

Like the carrot plants you can find in the wild, but yellow instead of white

[fringe sundial]

Short answer: yes. Build above the highest wave height if you don't Wana deal with that.

[sullen dew]

is the balrog baseline? or mod?

[lilac coyote]

There are no balrogs in the game.

[sullen dew]

i wish

[jade marten]

hello frens, does the sap extractor get aggro? can i just leave it be on the root?

[digital notch]

how do i allow my pops full access to my storage and such?

[primal dove]

You can leave it

[limpid quiver]

How do you lvl your skills faster I can’t seem to find any new videos

[compact patio]

Hey guys! Is there a way to keep my server online without me having to be present? Some friends would like to join at different times but i cant always be the host🥲

[hollow wyvern]

So im back again asking about tar farms, I'm trying to follow the guide of one from a year ago (theres none that I saw made recently.) I think I've gotten the exact point at which the growths spawn, but they're just spawning sort of inside of the wooden beam and getting shoved out of it. Did they patch this or something?

[marble roost]

Depends on which skill

[digital notch]

that was my experience as well .think they did patch it. or at least changed something unintentionally. did lots of trials. finally gave up and now just portal in a ways of and try sniping them

[ancient agate]

trying to progress after killing the elder and the game just totally stopped having a reason to play
all the enemies are extremely overpowered and 2 shot me in full bronze armour
there are zero structures to get the next metal (i think its iron)
and me and my friends are tired of sailing around for an hour just to die and restart i dont wanna quit this early but there just seems like nothing to do in the game

[jade marten]

portals portals portals

[ancient agate]

we had one down but the problem was that portal was surrounded by phantoms

[jade marten]

oh wait, not there yet, ugh

[gilded tapir]

is there anyway to destroy the spikes on the fortresses in ashlands? other than maybe battering ramp

[ancient agate]

if i could describe our swamp areas it would be an abomonation in the center surrounded by 3 phantom spawners and the entire shore is surrounded by leeches

and theres nothing inside the swamps

[jade marten]

just run around it till you find a crypt, make a base there and deploy the portal

anbd then start mining that sweet iron sludge

[ancient agate]

how many crypts should i try to find cause i dont think 1 is going to be enough unless it is

[jade marten]

start with 1

i usually build the swamp base on top of a cript, makes things faster

[ancient agate]

okay ill try to do that

[jade marten]

anyway, if you are 3-4 people you will eventually end up hundreds, 1000+ potentially, of iron during the playthrough, not just equipment but a lot of building stuff needs it

of iron is always needed, as if pretty up most metals up to a certain point

like rn we're in mistlands, and we still some iron for various stuff

[gilded tapir]

bump

[worldly grove]

I somehow destroyed them by smashing them with The big sledge Hammer from mistlands a lotta of times

[visual raft]

The ghosts only spawn at night aside from limited one-off spawns. Also, there are a lot of swamps in the game so you can try to sail and find another. If all else fails, I can grab a character in appropriate gear for you progression to help if you'd like

[tepid gale]

Is Mistlands usually on edge of the map?

[thorn spire]

You'll find it on the eastern and western edges of the map, yes. You'll find plenty further in though.

[visual raft]

It starts generating towards the edges and becomes more common the further you go. It's not limited to east and west

[tepid gale]

cool.. wish me luck.. first time getting this far.

[thorn spire]

Have you found Hildir yet? Trader icon that looks like a shirt.

[tepid gale]

yeppers

[visual raft]

Good luck. It's hard to miss, because you'll see the mists as you sail. Since it's your first time, I'd recommend landing in a different biome that is connected to it by land

[thorn spire]

go for one of her miniboss locations, I'm sure you'll find mistlands first.

[chilly patrol]

So I booted up Valheim today, after like a 2-3 week pause, and noticed my character for my server is gone..like not even in my character list.
Any way to fix?

Or anyone else experience this? super confused

[tepid gale]

check the recycle bin?

nevermind.. doesnt look like it stores there. On the main screen or the character selection part theres an option for backups that you can restore

[chilly patrol]

Yea not there either, hmmm

[buoyant peak]

PTB characters are not backwards compatible

[chilly patrol]

oh let me try something

AH, it was a cloud save character and I turned that off I think a bit ago, phew

weird it doesnt keep a local copy

[marble roost]

I use so much iron for base defense in mistlands 😭

[limpid quiver]

Well I’m tryin the knife skill atm

[marble roost]

Find a greydwarf spawner for farming some skill early on. Use a flint knife to level, skill is based on number of hits, damage done doesn't matter.

Later game you could also tame some lox, and just knife away at them with friendly fire on. Then leave them to regen health once you get them low while you go do something else

[jade marten]

Really? We just landed a day ago, stole a dvergr tower and built a second floor, use the basement for smelters and boxes, but that's pretty much it for now, only stuff that sometimes gets a bit destroyed is the cultivation area, but not much damage... Maybe we just had a lot of luck lol

[marble roost]

I like to set up a lot of defenses 😈

Also because I transfer some of them to Ashlands, where I need extra many for my max raids world modifier

[thorn spire]

what kind of (obviously active) base defense do you use?

I usually just put up a double earthen wall and defend raids myself.

[marble roost]

Defending raids every time gets tiring when they trigger every 20 min

I don't use earth walls because they feel way too cheesy for me

I put a lot of ballistas and beartraps. Sometimes I'll try and trap a dvergr or summon some archer skellies to defend too, but mostly just for the fun of it

[thorn spire]

speaking of dvergr, do they ever get friendly again if you accidentally hit one?

[rain stag]

Nope. Kill them and let their respawn forget and be friends again

[thorn spire]

that's what I figured.

[rain stag]

Mistlands have one of the easiest source of irons since those ancient black marble aquaducts have iron reinforcements inside it. I get 2 stacks of ready made iron per aquaduct

[marble roost]

mhm

[compact heath]

quick question before I waste some seeds, do fir grow normally in mountain? I m pretty sure none of the other trees do (no mods, building mountain forttress)

I mean when I plant with cultivator, or can I only use existing ones

[thorn spire]

hmm, I've never tried to grow anything on the mountain.

If anything will grow there, I'd say it's only Fir trees. probably not pine or any softwoods.

[rocky elk]

Anyone have any tips on planting Vineberries?

Cause im not sure this is the most efficicent way to plant them

[compact heath]

This I found quite helpful : https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1d5tih6/extensive_ashvines_farming_guide/

[compact patio]

Ill ask again. Is there a way to keep my server online?

[visual raft]

Yes, you host a server instance on a machine of yours or pay for hosting

[sweet crescent]

Drauger fang has poison on all arrow's right?

[marble roost]

yes

[marble roost]

Only by leaving your pc on 24/7 to keep the server up, or paying a hosting service

[compact patio]

Gotcha! Thanks!

[compact heath]

Just a quick confirmation because I haven't had hildir raids for ages and also not fought cultists for a while, they do not have a long range attack or how long is the range on their flames? and the brenna raid has that one archer skellies and melee or only one sort?

[left stag]

Is the best armor combo for mistlands - fenris hood, root harnesk, carapace greaves?

[compact heath]

why the fenris hood? doesnt give you much defense, would be better to swap greaves and hood if you want speed and some armour and pierce resist?

[left stag]

Doesnt hood give fire resist (for the gyalls)

[compact heath]

no, only full fenris set does (all 3 pieces)

[left stag]

aww rip

[compact heath]

fire resist barley wine is really cheap to make though

[left stag]

love the hood for aesthetics too lol

[compact heath]

you could wear the whole set then if you wanted for max speed, or 2 pieces with the root chest for pierce resist and get the barley wine

[ancient agate]

best weapon to make with iron?

[compact heath]

depends what you're fighting, for mountains the iron mace is amazing, the bow is great too (huntsmen) and also the iron sword and iron atgeir have a lot of situations where they shine

[ancient agate]

aight dope thx

[compact heath]

the iron atgeir is one of my favourite weapons when fighting at the swamp spawners too where you sometimes have 2 draugr and 1 skelleton spawner, can fight while you knock everyone back and at the same time do damage to the spawners

the huntsmen bow is the "quietest" bow in the game, you can sometimes shoot something and not alert something standing close by, is has the lowest range of alerting nearby enemies that you just shot their friend dead

the iron mace is the best iron tier weapon for the swamp boss and the best weapon (if you have shield as well) to fight the big enemy of the next biome (mountains) and is okay against other enemies in mountains too

[ancient agate]

so overall i should start with the mace

[compact heath]

yeah you can also get away often with just making one to two weapons per biome etc, especially on normal world modifiers (you can also skip upgrades like not making a new bow anytime you can etc) its all up to youy

[ancient agate]

yea me and my friends are all on a normal world

[sweet crescent]

Death sqitos do pierce right>

[visual raft]

Yes.

[lone egret]

!!HELP!! what to do if the enemy spawn in the stone. I don't want to use any aoe dmg weapon cuz i need the spawner

[jolly turret]

Cultists only have the ranged attack flamethrower
Brenna’s raid has all types of skellies (if memory serves) but the most problematic one is the gobbo raid - they shaman throws fireballs

[compact heath]

yeah thats a bit unfriendly the shamans, would have to snipe them quickly

so a Mountain Fortress would be quite save, with earten walls and on high points ballistae with 50:50 split between marksmen trophies and gob shaman trophies (no seeker raid in mountain, and I am skipping a lot of raid triggers by not killing Bonemass this playthrough)

the Draugr archers from foul smell and skeleton archers from same raid and from brenna raid do not do signifcant damage to stone normally when they are below the raised fortress, thats my thinking for this big planned fortress

[jolly turret]

We did the same thing on our first play through
It’s a very good place to setup 🥳

[compact heath]

sounds good, this is my 10th play through actually haha

[rain stag]

Try throwing poison or bile bombs?

[lone egret]

wait the poison bomb does it only make poison mist or with the explosion dmg

[summer canyon]

the ooze (poison) bombs seem to do a pretty negligible amount of blunt damage, so you should be pretty safe to use them amongst stone structures, assuming you'll be repairing the damage the raiders did anyway. about 5 blunt damage per bomb, I'll go test it to see if the physical portion of the damage is aoe. The poison cloud will certainly deal no damage to stone

Just checked - the initial impact point takes the damage

I read the question again, and realise you're trying to avoid damaging a spawner - which spawner type is it?

[lone egret]

Draugr spawner

[summer canyon]

I'll head to the swamp and find out if the poison damages them. I'm pretty sure they're resistant - but best to check

[lone egret]

thank you

[summer canyon]

I can safely confirm the draugr spawners take no damage from the ooze bomb poison cloud. Draugr themselves take a bit of damage, though its a bit inconsistent. The skeleton spawners next to them take huge damage from the cloud though, so keep that in mind

[lone egret]

yes sir

thank you again for testing out for me

[summer canyon]

It was fun enough. Are you farming the draugr?

[lone egret]

blood magic exp farm

[summer canyon]

I'll have to make one of them myself when we get to the mistlands. how do you stop your skellets from damaging the containing walls?

[lone egret]

i just use hoe to make a wall

but the stone around the spawner is indestructible so that why sometime the draugr spawn in it and my skeleton just walk around the stone and did nothing but the draugr can hit the skeleton and me from the inside of the stone

[rain stag]

AFK Farming? Fighting Elder or Bonemass is enough to keep breaking your shields 100% on your skelliesand train far faster.

[lone egret]

I see I will try it

[atomic dock]

innit the case that skeletts shield breaking doesn't add to your xp?

[summer canyon]

breaking shields on skellies doesn't give Bloodmagic skill, as the shield break gives BM experience to the entity with the shield effect, rather than the caster. By this logic your skeletons are getting bloodmagic skill. This is according to the wiki, and recent testing

[atomic dock]

What that guy above me said, yes

[summer canyon]

mind you if you cast the shield on yourself, and something breaks that shield, you'll get experience correctly. the only issue is that its super slow, and breaking the shield takes even longer as your skill goes up

[atomic dock]

(arguably) the most important staff in a mage's toolkit, and it's nigh impossible to level by itself

[summer canyon]

I'm pretty sure that allied shield breaks are probably SUPPOSED to add to the caster's skill, and its most likely a bug at this time. At least that would make the most sense

I wish that taking damage to the shield gave tiny XP, rather than only on break. levelling the skill with the per-level-xp-cost increase and the shield health increase compounding makes it super difficult to level. at the end of the day though, Dead Raisers do the job just fine

[rain stag]

I thought the skellies gain Blood Magix EXP on their own everytime they whack something then they transfer their EXP to you when they die?

[pliant lodge]

correct, according to the wiki

[terse cedar]

in mistlands, where am I supposed to ||plant crops? this biome seems to be all rock from what I've seen so far||

[summer canyon]

uhh... hmm. the wiki is contradictory then. It says earlier in the Blood Magic skill page that xp is granted to the entity protected by the bubble (not always the caster) then mentions that elder method later, relying on the skeleton's shields breaking. It doesn't say that their gained xp is transfered to you on death though... Maybe I should test this

[rain stag]

There are soil at the very bottom and places that look like rock are actually soil. Just spam cultivate ground and you should find it

[terse cedar]

thanks

[visual raft]

The exp transfer doesn't happen when they die, they just give you half rate of what you would have gained from a sword hit

so 0.75 exp on attack hit and 1 exp on shield break

[rain stag]

Do you still get EXP from their shieldbreak?

[visual raft]

Pretty sure, yeah.

Normally the shield grants exp to whoever has the shield upon breaking, but since the skeletons transfer their combat exp to you, it would make sense they transfer the shield break exp as well. I haven't tested specifically just the shield break though, since they're always attacking things while it's breaking, but it's significantly faster exp when the shield is constantly breaking

[rain stag]

Great, that solves one mystery for blood magic exp grinding

I think we can test it by seeing if butchering knife can break shields. I'll go do that now

[summer canyon]

Nope, I just did the testing. Here's my report
Question: Do skeletts transfer their accumulated blood magic XP to you when they die?
Hypothesis: Skeletts which do transfer blood magic skill on death would likely increase the caster's BM level from 0+, if in their lifetime their bubble was popped a number of times.

Test 1 methods: I set up a ballista with wooden bolts at one end of a hallway, and a skelett with a bubble on the other end, incapable of attacking the ballista. I resummoned the shield every time it broke and counted the number of pops up to 12, at which point I allowed him to die. Before and after death, I checked my caster's blood magic skill. Before summoning the skelett, I used console commands to reset my BM skill for observation.
Results: It took 3 shots from the ballista to pop a bubble. Following the initial pop, caster BM was still 0 with no progress. Following 12 pops, no skill increase. Following the skeletts death, BM skill was still 0 - indicating that no XP was transferred from skelett on death.
Discussion: Could do this test again with a boss, but I don't know how easy it would be to differentiate bubblepopXP and skelett hit XP. I can confirm if they give combat XP on death in another test

Ballistas are used commonly to level Blocking skill, so I don't have any reason to believe it would be ineffective for bloodmagic testing

Test2:
Question: Do they transfer accumulated combat (on hit) experience on death?
Hypothesis: they transfer XP on death and on hit. Each hit should increase caster XP, and on death, they should also give a lump sum of XP.
Methods:
For clarity, I reset blood magic skill before summoning the skelett. This skelett was allowed to attack a training dummy once, before I seperated him from the room with a door (Skelett still alive). On hit, the caster gains XP. After repeating this a few times to increase the skelett's hypothetical 'invisible BM level' which it would share on death, I reset my skill again and killed him with a knife.

Results:
1 hit: Level of caster increased by 1
10 hits: level of caster increased to 3
On death: no XP gained. (Level 0 -> Level 0)

Discussion: I can conclude that Skeletts do not give their accumulated XP to the caster on death, rather, they give Bloodmagic experience every time they hit an enemy.

[atomic dock]

All in all, the best (really about only) way to level BM is still to AFK skelett farm

devs pls fix

or maybe that's intentional to nerf the staff of protection

[summer canyon]

I'm sure that for farming against the Elder, using shields will still end up letting you level faster, because skeletons are alive for longer, and therefor can make more attacks, and you'll spend less time resummoning skeletts and more time resummoning the Elder

[digital notch]

How do I allow another player full access to my storage?

[last osprey]

They'll need to be keyed into any wards you have but otherwise they can access any chests but the personal one the same way as you.

[digital notch]

How to key into wards? Have many buried on base

[honest summit]

The list is always displayed below the use button for the creator of the ward.
The ward can be reactivated by its owner after that to enforce the permissions.
To delete a viking, you can either ask them to interact a second time with the ward while it is inactive, or destroy the ward to reset the permissions.```

[digital notch]

OK great thanks much

[worldly grove]

Is there possibly someone that could help me get my stuff back? I died in the ashlands at a spawner and i can't get to my stuff anymore 😦

[distant sail]

Hi all! My friend built something I don’t like right in the middle of my town. I want to move it rather than destroy it (which would likely upset him) - is there a mod for this? For reference it’s a large-ish house. I’d ideally like to pick it up and just move it as is. Is this possible?

[sturdy folio]

If there is, someone may know in the #mods-discussion channel

[distant sail]

@sturdy folio thanks I’ll try there

[sturdy folio]

All goods

[woeful hamlet]

I'm unable to equip my hammer all of the sudden. It makes the sound of equipping it and unequipping it

I restarted the game, everything is up to date. Happened mid-game

[glad cove]

I'm playing this game for the first time and I'm having an annoying problem. I've made a kind of a chicken farm but when I throw food on the ground for them, its seems to all group into 1 stack for some reason. This always leaves some with no food. Is there a way to stop the dropped food from stacking?

[viral narwhal]

They should all eat from the stack

[glad cove]

There kind of in little enclosures so when the food stacks, its out of reach for some. Can I stop the stacking?

[marble roost]

You can divide the food up before throwing it. Shift left click or something

[glad cove]

I know but then it pops back into 1 stack again

[viral narwhal]

I don't think so, I believe that is for optimization purposes. But I am not 100% sure. You could try moving them further apart

You could try reduce the number of dropped items in the surrounding area also

[glad cove]

Ya I read about this when I googled it but it doesn't seem to fix the problem for me

[marble roost]

shouldn't if you move slightly between each throw so they don't all get thrown on top of each other

[glad cove]

I'm throwing them about 4 meters apart and it still happens

[viral narwhal]

Well I guess your only option would be to move the pens further apart

Or just combine them. I don't think there is much else you can do.

[glad cove]

Ok, I guess I'll rebuid it and try that, thanks

[frail cave]

my friend and I are having an argument. can someone tell me lore-wise what it the difference between weapon qualites. for example: level 1 bronze pickaxe and level 3 bronze pickaxe. I know the stats diffrences, but what is the "real life" differences? is one used with glue and the other is with duct tape? please i need some professional help.

[marble roost]

I would assume you reinforce it with more of the material used. So with a bronze pickaxe you add more metal to it, maybe you can manage to make it a bit sharper though wasting some of the bronze. Reinforcing the shaft with some more wood as well, or even reinforcing it with bronze

[frail cave]

is there an official answer?

[visual raft]

No, it's a game and it's not that deep. But you can make plenty of quasi logical arguments for it

[frail cave]

yeah i know but i just have to know

[visual raft]

Any answer you get would just be ex post facto justification for what amounts to a decision made purely for the sake of gameplay. Choose whichever reason you like and roll with it.

[honest summit]

What body part is this supposed to be?

[lilac coyote]

Well, the description suggests the feet, but yeah, it's not very clear.

[atomic hazel]

Hello
I'm playing solo and I'm having a problem with Asksvin Eggs.
The eggs are warm but they do not hatch.
They've been there for a good 2 hours.
What is going on ?
What's wrong ?

[visual raft]

I don't know the exact timing on asksvin egg hatching but I do know it takes a long time. I would just go out and do other stuff and come back. It'll definitely hatch

[atomic hazel]

I did this and it works!
maybe there is a blockage due to my presence?
Thanks a lot

[visual raft]

I didn't mean come right back 🤣 but I'm glad it worked

[obtuse path]

hy, how do i make a 2 line floating text on a single sign ?

[atomic hazel]

Just write \n at the end of the first line

[obtuse path]

this works for normal text but not as floating with offset...

[primal dove]

Check #1202740443352137838 ?

Make sure to look at it first to be sure the ashlands update didn't change it significantly (I don't think the update impacted spawn locations at all, so it's probably safe)

[honest summit]

I just noticed that if I hold Ctrl with a selected build piece, it changes slightly. It's most noticeable with stone/marble pieces, but also present on most wood pieces and some other items. What does that do?

[cedar herald]

Hi, I have a question. Me and my bro are having some lag issues (in our main base and in new ashlands) which are not present when we go elsewhere, for example plains or ocean. But recently, I have created a recording of our gametime and there is 0 lag in the video. Could there be some issue with my settings? I have 16GHz ram, Ryzen 3 3800 8 core, 2080ti (bros pc is even better)
Including screenshot of my ingame settings. Any tips wlecomed (i´d rather not reduce my graphics quality, game is beatuifull)

[atomic dock]

Ashlands performance is known to be abyssmal atm

[atomic dock]

it's very niche, but essentially the game alters the textures of the build piece you're placing by a slight bit to give a more random, natural feel for stuff
ctrl lets you know exactly what that's gonna look like so if you have a specific texture in mind you can check first

[urban anchor]

does everyone know ehy the troll staff doesnt work every time you use it?

I mean... I jsut see one troll and I tri to sommon another one and he doesnt come out.
Sometimes work though ...

[round solar]

does anyone know why my server is saying incompatible version? i tried launching from both beta and normal branch but its not working

[visual raft]

There's a limit to the number you can summon and the staff doesn't currently have a warning message popping up saying you're at the limit. They're changing that in the new patch on PTB

[left stag]

Has the edge of the map been changed? I used to use it for some open space to build but now when I go there I'm getting pushed the entire time (seems like by the water?)

[lilac coyote]

The edge of the map has always pushed you away.

[left stag]

I was over there like two weeks ago with no issues. Built plenty of stuff too.. weird.

It must have been a mod that doesn't push me, just updated some and I'm over here fine now.

[celest tapir]

So we have a problem, we can't plant ashvines. They don't appear in cultivator menu

[pearl mortar]

They do. Have you gotten any seeds yet?

[deft depot]

Does anyone have a good updated Armour guide I just started playing and all the ones I found are pre Ashlands

[celest tapir]

No, so those red flowers and not vines are needed?

[buoyant peak]

No, you plant the vines with vine seeds.

You need to gather more grapes until you get them

[neat mortar]

So ive tried killing Moder and i died. Now moder roams in the middle of the mountain alongside 2 golems and many drakes. Any way i can get the boss back to the spawner? Felt like i have best chance of killing it there

[marble roost]

Getting it to chase you

[merry shale]

my game is getting stuck on the loading screen and then says not responding

[sturdy folio]

Are you clicking off screen/tabbing out during this process?

[merry shale]

yeah

[sturdy folio]

That'll be it 😛

[merry shale]

lemme try

[sturdy folio]

gotta get the game load up to the menu and then when loading into the world before you can tab out again

[merry shale]

its still doing it

it always used to work but now its randomly doing this

[marble roost]

Just let it load. Even if it says not responding just leave it. Could take 5-10 minutes to load a world first time since Ashlands update

[junior crystal]

do i have to worry about keeping things loaded in order to progress state
eg loading planted food or saplings so that they grow

[vapid warren]

no, things will grow as long as in game time passes(including offsprings of animals into fully grown) it will just calculate if enough time has passed when they load back in

[junior crystal]

cool
i'm too used to having to minecraft babysit my crops

[vapid warren]

animals wont breed if no loaded in though

[sweet crescent]

Where do rancid remains spawn most? because im in the plains rn and i have yet to see one

[halcyon crag]

small chance in forest burial chambers and in skeleton surprise raid

[keen comet]

anyone what this is

[sweet crescent]

Thats odin

[lilac coyote]

A terrible screenshot? Or, more likely, Odin.

[halcyon crag]

Odin, look closely you can see his one blue eye glinting

[keen comet]

pretty creepy why is he there

[halcyon crag]

he pops in that like from time to time to "check on our progress"

[keen comet]

oh yeah i heard something like that before in the lore

[sweet crescent]

i like to think that isnt actually odin and its just a dev randomly joining worlds

[lilac coyote]

It's definitely Odin.

[junior crystal]

ive got too much resin help
i've got like 5 stacks of resin and growing

[sweet crescent]

Make fire arrow's

[buoyant peak]

Obliterator

[sweet crescent]

Also when can you buy the egg from haldor?

[buoyant peak]

Or tons of light sources

[true steeple]

After yagluth

You can get some early from sealed towers

[buoyant peak]

Blobi let me write ;-;

[junior crystal]

dont wanna waste all my feathers
only got like 30 and already got a stack of fire arrows and flint arrows

i don't yet to turn the resin into arrows
i want to make bronze arrows later

[sweet crescent]

[misty fiber]

Hello everyone, i've been experiencing a disturbing issue, i've been trying to play the game with friends lately but it keeps disconnecting me from the server, so far i tried : Running the game as administrator, disabled my firewall for a bit, checked my file integrity.
I'd appreciate any help

[junior crystal]

are you experiencing:
able to load into the server and maybe play some and then it kicks you
unable to connect at all, attempting to connect fails

im reading your issue as the first one

assuming yes, does it feel laggy when you're playing

[misty fiber]

i can log into the server, i play for like 30 seconds and then it disconnects me

no it's smooth, i just get the flashy server disconnect icon on top left corner

[junior crystal]

ive never played on servers on valheim specifically, i've just gone through server issues on plenty of games before

is it a dedicated server or is someone running it on thier machine share world type thing

[misty fiber]

we got a friend who's hosting a server

[junior crystal]

do you know if they're running it off wifi or ethernet

[misty fiber]

am not exactly sure, why though is there a difference ?

[junior crystal]

ethernet is way more reliable than wifi
are you the only one having trouble joining

[toxic berry]

Hey guys i was wondering can i play valheim and continue my progress on a different pc,i already turned on cloud save on steam and on the game file will i be able to continue my progress on a different pc?

[lilac coyote]

That's kinda the point of cloud saving, yeah.

[toxic berry]

Ahh Alrighty Thx u so much 😁

[zinc osprey]

Hey everyone, im new to the server and need some help. Im not a tech geek so this could entirely be me, but while im playing every 15 to 20 mins my game crashes, i have no idea what to do about it. Is there anyway i can fix this

[flat copper]

2 question,
-what does playing with mods mean ? world modifier ?
-what is a vanilla server ?

[honest summit]

Mods as in fanmade modificationss for the game. You can start by looking the game up on Nexusmods or Thunderstore.
Vanilla server is a server without any mods.

[flat copper]

oh and dedicated server means.. ? like a paid online server ?

[lilac coyote]

One that's up 24/7. Either one you host or a bought 3rd party one.

[gloomy edge]

usually when a game crashes for me it's often cause overheating issue. But it could be a bunch of many things as simple as outdated drivers or corrupted game files. If that's the case you gotta update your drivers or verify the integrity of the game files

or it could be some complex stuff like insufficient RAM or GPU power among others. Not easy to figure out the exact problem so I hope others can pitch in to help you troubleshoot. You might wanna hit up #steam-bugs-discussion some people there are very dedicated to helping with this stuff

[left stag]

What the hell is this?

[shut zinc]

missile from a life mage, only worry if it has a red health bar.

[zinc osprey]

Thank you, ill try and see if anything you listed is the problem, if not ill go there for sure 😊

[atomic dock]

anyone knows if catapulting a flametal tower will cause it to sink? or is it just pickaxe hits that cause it to sink?

[weary remnant]

the best way to up blocking skill is to take high damage or lot of hits?

like a hit from a troll = maybe 8 hits from skeleton

[gloomy edge]

lot of hits

for example you can level up blocking fast by gathering a bunch of zero star necks, and putting them in a pit then raising your shield against them

[weary remnant]

but higher damage give more exp?

[gloomy edge]

no

[weary remnant]

damm

thank you

[gloomy edge]

if you've got rested bonus on you'll rack up more exp

same with other skills

[kindred gyro]

Guys, does anyone know why i'm finding my own deathboxes in unexplored places of my map?

[cursive shore]

Anyone know if catapult (with explosive payload) damages friendly\tamed creatures?

[gleaming spade]

Did they change Bonemass to not summon adds anymore? We just fought him and though he did the animation to summon them, nothing ever spawned

[compact heath]

he should still summon them, maybe a bug (especially if you are using some mods)

[silk axle]

Hi Everyone, I've been having issues with vineberry clusters in my base, I've planted about 20 seeds, all of which have grown over my walls, but I maybe get 3-6 berries every few days. Is this normal?

[rain stag]

Yes, they grow really slowly. Once they are on the walls, they are done growing

[silk axle]

So I need to re-place the seeds every time I get 3 berries, when I'm not even guaranteed seeds back?

[rain stag]

No, I mean that they will disappear from the ground. The red stuff on the walls is what is growing them and its super slow and random

[silk axle]

Ok, no worries, just wanted to check if it was normal that they grow so slowly, I can't even make any batches of food currently due to how slow it is 😄

[rain stag]

Apparently Wild grapes grow like 3x as fast

[cursive shore]

Just did some testing and they at least kill chickens, fyi.

[tepid gale]

Carapace shield or buckler?

[dire hamlet]

Do you prefere block or parry?

Shield for block, buckler for parry

[rain stag]

Blackmetal shield works fine all the way into ashlands so I skipped Carapace to save Eiter

[dim vale]

The raven told me to kill Eikthyr prior entering the dark wood. Will killing Eikthyr weaken the enemies or something similar? All I know is by doing so the raids will get harder

[opaque shoal]

you will unlock something that will make it easier to progress and get materials

and a special ability

[dim vale]

yea, I did it once, in case you mean the ||pickaxe|| - however it feels easier to me getting some ||bones/trollhide|| first in order to be better prepared for the next raid creatures, like ||berserkers||. Would you agree?

[marble roost]

Black metal is a bad time against starred mobs, and at least for parrying carapace is better than Ashlands shield so it might not be worth skipping

[marble roost]

Play however you wanna play. That’s totally a valid strategy, although I’m not entirely sure what berserkers are

You can often skip the boss and go to the next biome for a few resources first, but unless you’re very experienced with the game you do need to go back and kill the boss to be able to gather a lot of the materials in the next biome

That’s true for the entire game

[opaque shoal]

play how do you want but i recommend getting|| troll hide and metals|| as fast as you can, dont worry about the raid too much, just make sure to have your base defended and dont craft the ||bronze pickaxe||. its not only a waste of ||bronze|| but its also useless because you need a|| forge|| to repair it so it will be hard to get materials in the next biome. placing a workbench and few roofs is always faster

[dire hamlet]

You can actually get pretty good pre ashlands endgame gear without killing any bosses, but you will face alot of limits if you do so ^^

[wheat glen]

Hi im trying to start an server with my friends and my game keep crashing in the loading screen any tips on how to fix that`?

[quartz cairn]

give it a minute or two to finish generating / updating the world

[wheat glen]

Thanks it worked btw do you know how to get rid of the grass so i can see floor items easier

[quartz cairn]

happy it worked.
you can tone down the vegetation level in graphics options

[wheat glen]

thanks

[lilac estuary]

hoe it

||https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Hoe||

Toning down the vegetation has the (unintended) benefit, that it is much easier to ||spot red mushrooms and other collectible from the ground among the shrubbery||. But vegetation increases immersion IMHO. YMMV 😉

[polar quail]

have no idea what to do. went around half the world already, still no haldor

[dire hamlet]

Just keep searching, try abit more down south

[acoustic kayak]

Im playing solo, died in an elder fight, went to portal back to get my corpse but i get attacked immediately and die when i leave the portal i set up near the elder 😦 how am i meant to get my stuff back

[lone egret]

That kinda bad cause what u should is not set portal near boss area

But die immediately when u go through I guess eat more health food so u a bit tanky

[acoustic kayak]

Thanks, i gobbled some food and made a run for it. Got my stuff back but now the elders regained health arrgh lol. Time to try again

[lone egret]

Set a bed there

Just set a base not too near boss area next time

[frail mason]

@polar quail that's unlucky. Haldor is in black forest about half map length from the middle.

[opaque shoal]

how do i get stronger in the ashlands biome? i got some ||flametal|| made armor ||ash cape|| and some food. i found a ||fortress|| and is completly surrounded by|| lava||. i tried to kill the enemies on the picture but i almost died because i didnt have bonemass power once

[fringe sundial]

This was what I learned when I was in PTB before LIVE:
Ideally, you want you main skills to be around lvl50-70. Try to only proc 1 or 2 enemies at a time. The grass catching fire (and taking damage) is likely from a ash-storm(think thunderstorm but fire/ash). Have a base set up or at least a portal house (not wood) back to a safer biome. Learn each enemies attack patterns and when to run if overwhelmed.

Regarding the stronghold. if it is indeed completely surrounded by lava, you may need to cheese your way in and out instead of using the siege engines. you can build onto/over strongholds.

If cheesing isn't something you wana do, there is likely more strongholds(I think every world seed has an average of 5-7, but I don't have numbers to back up that guess).

[opaque shoal]

i found a way into this|| fort|| so im going to prepare for them because im out of ||flametal|| thanks for help

[dim vale]

thanks alot, also to @opaque shoal , even you wrote some spoilers, but they're helpful/welcome

[junior valve]

Is there a difference in normal blocking and parrying in terms of effecieny or speed in lvling up blocking?

[last osprey]

Parrying gives higher skill gain but also costs more stam

[junior valve]

Cool thank you

[last osprey]

For leveling find a few skelli and draugr spawners and drag any archers they spawn into a nearby pit (so they spawn more). Then just stand at the edge and block.

[sullen dew]

What flametal mace upgrade is best?

[atomic dock]

Blood is generally not favored by the community, low health is not a playstyle people generally like
Lightning is generally good on all weapons, but it's better on fast weapons as they'll proc Lightning more
Nature is a chance to root, with mace high knockback it'll make for a good CC weapon

[opaque shoal]

how do i get more flametal before it sinks

[fringe sundial]

by using the best pickaxe available (i believe that is blackmetal), queen buff and a high skill level

apparently, people have cleared a whole node/deposit by using all 3

[frail whale]

Hi. I'm playing Valheim for the first time since launch with some mates.
It feels like there's a lot of more server lag than there used to be. Boats are particularly bad; basically unusable.
Are there any common fixes/things to check?

[fringe sundial]

this is the general help section, so not may people here could give you pointers but here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might be able to help better.

[sullen dew]

eyy, thanks for the answer man

[frail whale]

Thanks!

[primal dove]

That's impressive - but how does one carry it all? Do you just throw it on safe ground and keep a portal right next to it? (the last bit sounds dangerous)

[fringe sundial]

not sure on how they carried it all, I would guess a mount or cart nearby, once they got close to running out of stamina from being over encumbered.

[junior valve]

so the higher tier enemies matters ? I was thinking of doing that at a greydwaf spawner

[fringe sundial]

leveling skills is more about hits and not enemy level AFAIK. so a greydwarf farm would work just as well as a body/bone pile. only advantage for dragr and skeles, is they are often clumped together so you get more spawns in a given time.

[halcyon moon]

Requesting assistance on locating files for Valheim. Specifically files related to the remapping of inputs. (Windows)

[fringe sundial]

if you are refering to remapping keys/inputs, you should be able to do that in settings both on the opening game page and while in a world.

[wheat glen]

my game keeps freezing only for me not my teamates

[halcyon moon]

What I intend is to bind a single action on 2 separate keys. Do you know if that's possible?

[fringe sundial]

IE: have "jump" on "space" and "f2" ?

[halcyon moon]

yes

[fringe sundial]

I don't believe so without mods since the settings don't have a secondary "key" section.

[halcyon moon]

Is there console parameters for those actions?

[fringe sundial]

there are presets for key bindings under the "controller" section of settings.

[undone spindle]

Without spoilers if possible, which is the most consistent physical (blunt/pierce/slash) damage type in ashlands?

[fringe sundial]

I have never compiled a list of enemy damage types(what they deal out), but most enemies resist pierce(what you deal out) at large within the game (including ashlands).

[junior valve]

Thank you for the info 👍

[fringe sundial]

if this is your first time loading the game after ashlands has gone live, that tends to happen(if you are referring to prior to the opening screen not while playing on a world). If it freezes and you have yet to see the opening screen, leave it open and let it load in the background for 5-10 minutes. the ashland update was huge and made most systems think the game had crashed/frozen.

[wheat glen]

Thanks first time ive played since update

[fringe sundial]

especially if you get a warning asking if you want to wait or terminate the program, just leave it be (don't minimize/tab out).

[wheat glen]

also what is best weapon early with copper?

[honest summit]

You'll need an axe anyway for fine wood, and it's a good weapon too.

[vague goblet]

I don't do anything other than the axe. You move beyond that equipment too quickly for it to be a worthwhile investment on anything else.

[last osprey]

Atgeir rules until Mountains. After that its just really good.

[wheat glen]

so axe and atgeir thanks

[opaque shoal]

would i be able to make my slayer sword thundering after upgrading it to level 2?

[latent mist]

if my game crashes while im in a boat, does the boat dissapear?

[red hinge]

You maybe spawn behind ur boat, is it online?

[marble roost]

Slash and pierce are pretty prominent I’d say

[undone spindle]

As in the most often resisted by enemies?

[marble roost]

Oh, no I meant damage that the opponents deal

For what damage types you as a player want to use, slash and blunt should be pretty good. A lot of pierce resist

Frost and lightning is always gonna be good

[marsh rose]

Hi, How do you get the warrior trophy?

[haughty path]

I play valheim on Xbox and experiencing what seems like a bug. My boats are constantly taking damage from nothing. I break the boat and make a new one and it keeps happening. There is nothing underneath to damage the boat but it keeps animating the damage and showing 10 damage number. I am not in the Ashlands water either.

[quartz cairn]

it's a known issue.
on PC you can use mods to workaround...

[haughty path]

Hmm okay I'll see about making a report about it

[fickle herald]

Does each biome have a specific weapon that is good ?

[opal obsidian]

Yes

[marble roost]

Most weapons are pretty good in all biomes. A few weapons are in general OP and a few weapons are good in certain biomes (for example, maces are pretty good in Swamp, and Atgeirs are OP in any biome)

[latent mist]

yea I spawned in the middle of the ocean and quickly drowned

[red hinge]

That sucks , it’s still sailing, because of other players on the server

[latent mist]

I quickly built a raft and found my tombstone thing but no boat not even the parts of the boat

[latent mist]

oh no im playing offline

forgot to mention that

[red hinge]

Hmm

[red hinge]

Then idk? So your alone on the server, or are you playing with friends

[latent mist]

completely alone

[atomic dock]

your game loaded into the closest autosave is my guess, which means your world should be at the state of the last autosave

[latent mist]

hmmmmmmmm

[atomic dock]

your character position is saved with your character however, which is a separate save from the world
the crash saved your character but not your world
your character just time traveled

[latent mist]

bruh

I think ill just make a new boat\

as if my day could get any worse a troll just spawned outside my house

[forest viper]

Make him miserable. Cut him off at the knees.

[latent mist]

every time i look hes a bit closer

question about trolls, when you chop down trees do they get agressive and come after you directly

cus it kinda feels like they do

or am i just being paranoid

[dire hamlet]

when you are cutting down a tree you are making alot of noise which will attract enemies attention from futher away than fx running

[velvet atlas]

Does anyone had the issue that on a dedicated server, on occasion, items from your inventory just vanish?
Happened a few times here on my dedicated server amongst friends.

[quartz cairn]

Only as a result of crashes or other unexpected disconnects, yes.

[velvet atlas]

Hmm because apparently it only happens when people log out and in the next time.

[lucid wadi]

do you need to be near eggs for them to hatch?

[dire hamlet]

Yes, but not for the duration it takes for them to become ready to hatch

[lucid wadi]

ah ok just now getting animals going and know nothing about it

[finite sparrow]

hello i am got more than 250 h in game and i still have level 17 with the bows
last day it was about 37 now its 17
how can i fix it ?

[dire hamlet]

Remember to have a heat source near eggs otherwise they wont hatch

[lucid wadi]

its 50 minuets for them to be adult right?

[halcyon crag]

shoot more stuff and don't die as much 😬

[dire hamlet]

Stop dying and use the bow more

[finite sparrow]

i lose siklls when i die ?

[halcyon crag]

alternatively turn down the skill loss in the world modifier settings

it can be reduced to 1% loss

[finite sparrow]

okkk ty so much

[lucid wadi]

do they need heat after they hatch?

[finite sparrow]

can i do it for started server ?

[dire hamlet]

No

[lucid wadi]

i dont wanna remove the fire and they die before they grow up

alright ty

[dire hamlet]

If you don't want to them to die to the fire then just use a hanging brazier

[lucid wadi]

they just hatched a few minuets ago but i'll use a brazier for the next ones

[keen agate]

is there some faster way to get drake trophies? I need 2 of em, and I have killed like at least 30-40, but I can't get the two I need for the silver helm, not even one

[crystal kiln]

nope
drake helmet is a massive pain
(nests spawn multiple drakes btw)

[dire hamlet]

Trade with another player or just keep hunting them

[keen agate]

nests?

[crystal kiln]

where you get the dragon eggs

[keen agate]

ohh, alright

[dire hamlet]

Just start mining silver, before you have all the silver you need you will most likely have the trophies you need 😅

They love interrupting you

[tacit isle]

You need to find a mountain, usually a bigger one and get to a higher elevation. Usually they are scatered there, few on each big mountain.

[neat leaf]

does any1 know if the dvergr will attack me when I use the sealbreaker? I was just curious because there are 2 at the boss location

[keen agate]

If I want to place a sconce in my house, does it collect smoke or something in my roof, so I need an opening, or does the game just let me light up my house without needing 5 chimneys

[dire hamlet]

Scones should not make smoke

[terse cedar]

is it worth it to make a|| mistlands base? or do I just need to find enough soil to throw down some crops and portal everything back to my plains base?||

[vague goblet]

I've always secured an area and portaled. Doesn't seem worth the hassle to rebuild there given the terrain.

[terse cedar]

yea the terrain is a nightmare

[vague goblet]

If you can find a nice spot on the edge it might be fun if you enjoy base building, if not I'd avoid it.

[undone spindle]

There's occasionally small islets far enough to be safe to set up a farm for biome specific crops

[vague goblet]

This is the safest way to do it for sure.

[terse cedar]

that sounds wonderful

[vague goblet]

Make sure you have a lot of stone before going that route.

[terse cedar]

stone for what?

[vague goblet]

You find the little island or shallow piece of land in the biome you're looking for and then you raise the ground up so you can farm on it, creating your own private island. In order to raise the ground you need a ton of stone.

If you find the right spot you can sometimes create an island in the middle of the water that has multiple biomes on it as well.

[terse cedar]

ohhh I see

[vague goblet]

Time consuming for sure but it's the safest way to do it since (assuming you're far enough off shore) nothing will spawn nearby.

[last osprey]

The only mechanical reason to make a mistland base is the raids.

Specifically you only get gjall, seekers, bats and skeletons there and gjall and seekers only until you kill the queen

[marble roost]

Or to farm mistlands veggies

[last osprey]

You dont need a base for that though

[lilac coyote]

A farm is still a base.

[honest summit]

A farm is a patch of land and a portal.

[buoyant peak]

Good luck on having a farm in the open with little to no defense...

I'm sure soldiers would love it

[honest summit]

They don't need much defense if you're not going to linger there. Just put a stakewall so they can't see you while planting and harvesting, and it should probably be safe.

[orchid mirage]

Hello, im having an issue where my inventory gets stuck doing a shift+click to split stack, like my shift key is suck, but I am DEFINITELY not pushing the key. I have reintalled and wiped everything and its still happening. single player, multiplayer, etc. it goes away sometimes after like 30 minutes, but makes no sense at all. I've tried everything. Has anyone had this problem or heard of it?

I dont have any programmable keys or shortcuts or mods or anythign

it seems to only happen in multiplayer

[fringe sundial]

the seal breaker is the equivalent to the sacrafice(s) you had to do for prior bosses. it shouldn't upset.

[charred wagon]

anyone know what the nighttime spawns of killing fader are?

[fringe sundial]

all fire sources create some smoke. sconces and standing torches make very little in comparison to the campfire, hearth or brazier. if your walls are 4m high, and you place one 1m down from the roof, it should be fine (you wont end up choking).

[terse cedar]

how did they vent the smoke out of the longhouses

[buoyant peak]

In which case it wouldn't be in the open as it has a wall surrounding it

[terse cedar]

a farm is not a base lol

[fringe sundial]

either make chimney(s) or make a open roof system (put your roof effectively on stilts)

[terse cedar]

where chimney

[fringe sundial]

I would imagine the skeletons but I am not to ashlands yet in my current playthough.

[fringe sundial]

in this case, the roof is so tall, there isn't a need, and unlike in game, thatch roofs are permiable allowing some smoke out over time(in reality).

[terse cedar]

imagine thatch rooves not being permeable but wood floors are

[lilac coyote]

Disagree.

[last osprey]

you don't need one, you just need enough space for smoke to gather until it despawns. It's a 2x4x4m space (per fire) iirc.

[fringe sundial]

if you use 2-3 of the 45deg roof pieces, that should be enough height.

[latent mist]

I just make a sloped roof with a side exit so the fire stays lit in a storm

it has to be a 2x2 tho 1.2 dont work

[charred wagon]

yeah it's for a build server, we are wondering if we should kill fader as a cerimony or leave him be, don't want no steroids on the nightspawns

[terse cedar]

or just dont build a roof, let everything decay. You entropy deniers make me sick

[latent mist]

we should be able to befrend trolls they seem nice

they just want to protecc the forest

and kill

[unreal oasis]

yo could anyone help me fix a crash issue when i try and launch a server?

[terse cedar]

do they grow when u sleep?

the wiki says they grow in like an hour and a half but theyr'e still not grown by the next day

[last osprey]

a night in Valheim only lasts 9 minutes.

A hour and a half is three full ingame days.

[azure oar]

Is there anything i can do to increase the fps in this game? I have a rtx 3060 & AMD Ryzen 9 5900X + 32gb RAM i feel like i should have like 300+ fps in a game like this but i only get 60-100 (changing graphic settings literally doesnt change anything).

[last osprey]

no, but enemy (and your) attacks can destroy plants.

[frail whale]

Have sunken crypts changed at all since launch?
My friends and I explored like 4 swamps and found 0 crypts.

[mystic solar]

Look in the pinned messages for this channel, there is a vid linked about how to improve fps in Valheim.

[azure oar]

done that doesnt really help a lot but thx anyway

[frail vessel]

Does anybody know the spawn command for a wraith trophy???

[tropic cobalt]

Are there any experts here who can help me with a g-portal server?

You only need to just place one extra portal to accomplish the same

[hollow mantle]

Having issues getting Vineberries to grow and fruit. Are they bugged? We have one vine growing at our meadows base. It was a pain to get started, but I figured it out eventually. And it was spreading, but now seems to have receeded somewhat. Also it produced a few clusters at first, but now nothing, despite many multiple hours in-game since then. Any tips?

[solemn oasis]

with fueling totems am I good to go for the goblin boss?

**with 3 of them

[hollow mantle]

By the time you find the boss you'll have enough...

[buoyant peak]

You need five

[buoyant peak]

They are

[hollow mantle]

😢

[fringe sundial]

based on prior chats, this game is CPU intense and likely doesn't use multi-core well/at all. In otherwords, you could have cutting edge motherboard and GPU and that wouldn't help much.

oop. I was looking at a old message.

[grand nexus]

Does anyone know what it means when you go into a burial chamber (black forest) and it auto boots you out and says blocked? How is it blocked after going inside?

[fringe sundial]

are you playing vanilla or modded?

[grand nexus]

yeah, regular

[fringe sundial]

odd. I have never run into that issue before. I don't think they have requirements/keys for accessing them(you should be able to run from the very begining into one without issue unlike sunken crypts that are supposed to use the drop from the elder).

only thing I can think of is if there was a change to the terrain due to the ashlands update and that specific chamber is no longer existent. but that is very unlikely.

[fringe sundial]

does this happen for more than one burial chamber?

[grand nexus]

just this one. the others around it were fine

[fringe sundial]

as mentioned above, it might have to do with the biome/terrain changing due to the ashlands update. you could try the optiterrain devcommand and see if that one disappears.

otherwise, I am none the wiser why that is happening.

[undone spindle]

Does an animal have to be in a loaded area to progress taming or can I portal away?

[hollow mantle]

As a general rule you have to stay near.

[undone spindle]

Does hildir give approx locations with her markers? Went to a sealed tower marker and found a tar pit at that spot instead...

[opaque shoal]

ASHLANDS SPOILER WARNING
what do you think about this tier list? let me know

[serene tangle]

Is that for solo play only?

[opaque shoal]

yes ( i know that some weapons are good for multi )

[buoyant peak]

Considering spears have high attack speed which is a bonus for nature and thunder enchants...

Pretty wrong tier list

[opaque shoal]

but its ashlands related only

piercing damage is very low because of the resist and|| berzerker axes|| are faster than spears

[buoyant peak]

Just thunder alone would greatly increase their effectiveness because it would make the pierce resistance irrelevant as you would be able to proc the chain lightning frequently

[opaque shoal]

but why you you use this when ||berzerker axes|| have more base damage and pretty much faster attack speed

[buoyant peak]

In that case why did you include literally any other melee weapons if that's the case?

Don't let bias affect your judgement if it's aimed at trying to help others

You could've not include the other weapons and just put thunder axes there and go "thunder axes are S tier, you literally don't need any other melee"

[opaque shoal]

they have more dps than other weapons

||blood|| have good dps but you need to be very low and its not really that great ( i mean if you are a machine that makes no mistakes then go for it )

[buoyant peak]

Spears have higher attack speed than other melee weapons except axes, with thunder enchantment that would mean multiple chain lightning procs faster than, let's say, thunder slayer.

You still put them in D tier

[opaque shoal]

that is right but remember that lightning damage is not everything

spear damage itself is maybe like 50 or 60 meanwhile slayer dealing 120+ and lighting, if you are lucky with the lightning procs basically every weapon will obliterate enemies

[marble roost]

blood crossbow is pretty rad. At least B tier

[opaque shoal]

i tought about putting it in d and i pretty much dont know why i put it in c

[marble roost]

oneshotting valks ain't bad

[opaque shoal]

i put green slayer higher than the normal sword because you can root an enemy and spam the special attack

[marble roost]

Plus stealth is pretty powerful in Ashlands. Being able to pick off enemies at range with a crossbow that does massive sneak attack damage can be very useful for avoiding huge fights

[opaque shoal]

green mace is a good cc weapon

[opaque shoal]

yes but im not a huge fun of the blood effect ( i know its good but i dont like it )

[woeful pivot]

yeah zoom in on the map ur prob not there

[marble roost]

so it's a tier list based on your playstyle, and not for general usefulnees of weapons?

[opaque shoal]

not really, i like the lightning slayer same as the mace and the sword but i noticed that they are doing pretty much the same damage, lighting depends all on rng, if you are lucky on slayer you can deal crazy damage same as on the sword or the mace.
bloody axes and the slayer have a potential because you dont have a shield so you will lose some health, if you dont have any other gemstones its not a bad idea tbh
green axes are just doing good damage and root fast

[opaque shoal]

if i would make a generall usefullness then it would be completly different and it would depend on solo or multi

because the green weapons are the goat in multi ( if you want to be the support )

[marble roost]

so whats this one based on?

[opaque shoal]

i was testing the damage and i tried to do it the best i could and tested lightning effect few times on each weapon to be sure , i know blood weapons have very big damage when low hp but as i said before i dont like this effect and i just put them a bit lowe

most of the weapons did almost the same besides berzerker axes, they were absolutely crazy and could even staggerloop

what is kinda funny is that the green berzerkers did similar damage to a lightning slayer or the sword ( i forgot the name sorry )

[opaque shoal]

new tierlist i added spears because the ||lightning ||one isnt really that bad as i tought

[woeful pivot]

what about the dyrnwyn thing

[opaque shoal]

oh i fogrot about this

[woeful pivot]

ye

and staffs?

[opaque shoal]

well, most ashlands mobs are resistant to fire damage so it would and in something like b or a

[opaque shoal]

i think that i would need to make another tier list to not make a mess here

it wont take long because its a few

well now is the problem because i didnt play mage but my friend did and from what i saw i think it looks like this

yes i know about the b tier rod that it deals high fire damage but my friend said it is pretty bad

if im wrong please let me know i dont know too much about magic

[marble roost]

Fracturing is definitely the worst of the 4, and Dundr is a solid A. Trollstave is S tier though. Staff of Wilds I haven't used since it got buffed, sounds like it could be an S tier now but would have to try it

[opaque shoal]

staff of winds is crazy on multiplayer, i rooted a 2 star warrior and my friend just spammed the staff

i dont think it would be good in solo also if you want to play solo mage you need high levels to deal solid damage in ashlands

compared to melee weapons its harder to become strong as a mage

[marble roost]

I'd say mage is OP compared to melee because you get to play at a safe range with weapons that knockback/slow enemies and a magical shield that you can spam to tank damage. And you don't need armor so you can slot in fenris armor to distance from the enemy even more. So it doesn't take much skill and you're pretty much never in danger, while still doing decent damage. Melee is still gonna win the damage fight, but you're putting yourself in a lot more danger

Dunno if you really need multiplayer to make wild staff good tho. Can summon plenty of distractions with trolls or skellies, or just root an area and then run circles around it while mobs get whipped

[opaque shoal]

as i know you need high levels to deal playable damage, for example level 20 elemental magic will just be not fun to play

[viral narwhal]

[marble roost]

Yea kinda tedious at low levels in Ashland’s. I like to play a hybrid build of both melee and magic

[opaque shoal]

Based

[rain stag]

20s is fine once you get staff of the wild

[frail cave]

How do you use the oven?

[marble roost]

Need to make certain dishes in the cauldron. Then put the dish in the oven and input wood for it to cook

Takes a while to cook but keep an eye on it, it can overcook and turn into coal

[storm rock]

hey whats the best weapon to fight bonemass

i can easily skip him and get silver via the stag breaker and iron pickaxe combo

but what weapon should i use? i would thing frostner

[vestal hatch]

Having trouble popping this big deposit. Nothing 2m around or below it but there's a cliff wall towering above. Is deposit integrity upheld by anything above it regardless of distance, or just anything within 2m in 3D space?

[frail cave]

Iron maze

Is their a way to stop the plains boss from healing

[marble roost]

yea frostner is best

[storm rock]

Some of my boars arnt taming i am leaving them alone and there is no torches or fire neer them but they are constantly staying by the wall and not eating ao they arnt taming

[halcyon crag]

they have return to where they spawned behaviour, best to let them return to where you found them, tame them there, then move the next gen once they have offspring, who won't have that behaviour

[crystal kiln]

that never stopped me and frens, and we aggro-dragged 2 stars across continents before

[halcyon crag]

depends where they are from, the runestone ones won't eat if you do that

[crystal kiln]

tbf, never saw a 2-star at a stone

[halcyon crag]

some swear by it as early access to boar farming, just gotta be aware of that annoying quirk

[loud raptor]

I am currently on Plains biome and have wolf armor from mountains. Wondering if its worth it to upgrade to padded armor? Seems like a lot of linen and iron grind?

[digital notch]

Any good ways to farm slimes? Have raids turned off this run and am slime broke. Headed to mistlands mines and need bunch of ooze bombs

[last osprey]

You can get some from clearing sunken crypts but the blobs don't respawn in those. Otherwise just running around the swamp at night or farming Bonemass.

[mystic solar]

I wouldn't want to go into Mistlands with mountain equipment - planting some flax and spinning it doesn't take an eternity, and you can go farm some more iron meanwhile.

[frail vessel]

does anybody know the command for givng a wraith trophy?

[stuck jasper]

spawn TrophyWraith 1

[trim heath]

thug it out

[lofty bluff]

hi guys,
there is something i didn't understand about grappe. how long time to have some after it grow up or after you take some on the tree ?
for carot it is 4 IG days but is seems for grappe it is like ever... or never...

[rich crane]

Am i allow to discuss Ashlands stuff in this chat?

[rain stag]

Yeah, why not.

[rain stag]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1d5tih6/extensive_ashvines_farming_guide/

You need a huge amount of wall space to grow them in high numbers, not the seeds.

[lofty bluff]

thanks for the link

[rich crane]

I see these green lights in the Ashlands are those important landmarks?

[rain stag]

Yes, those are forts and your main objective in the biome

[rich crane]

The door us sealed on both sides theres spikes on the wall so that means I have to get mysekf in there?

[rain stag]

Yup, but I recomend waiting first until you are fully geared. Go and find caves with skeletons in front of them first

[celest tapir]

Place workbench, make stairs, snipe spawners, snipe warlocks and then kill rest

[digital notch]

Bonemass is good idea. thanks for the suggestion

[topaz forum]

hello

for some reason i can't join or create a new game

any ideas?

[quartz cairn]

can you be more specific (error messages, behaviour)?

[topaz forum]

"valheim.exe is not responding"

[quartz cairn]

give it a min or two

[topaz forum]

it basically frozes

yeah it's been 10 min

[sand island]

does the new ||flametal vein respawn after it sinks?||

[celest tapir]

Sadly no

[sand island]

oh noes

[celest tapir]

It's a Leviathan so sadly nope.

[buoyant peak]

It's bugged

[wheat glen]

what is best early game armor as before 2nd and 3rd boss

[buoyant peak]

Troll for 2nd boss

Root set for 3rd

[last osprey]

There is a lot of flametal usually so its not really an issue even with multiple players

[lone egret]

I really wish next patch is the flametal terrain slipping bug

I slipping even it was flat

[charred tide]

mistlands ||staff of frost better for leveling elemental than ember staff?||

[rain stag]

Ember, since Frost is Either hungry

[glacial swan]

Can you reset a map? (Not the actual world but the map you put PoI's and such on.)

[glacial swan]

To add onto this, my map shows incorrect positions (It shows an ocean even though a Meadows is ahead of me)

[quartz cairn]

try removing the map cache files -> remove *Cache files from your worlds folder

[glacial swan]

Should I verify files afterwards?

[quartz cairn]

not necessary, but always keep backups

[glacial swan]

How do I get to the cache files?

[celest notch]

What is default_old - stable build? (ashlands or no ashlands?)

[quartz cairn]

on PC it's in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

[lone egret]

Never happen to me before but how and what trigger it

[glacial swan]

No idea, I started noticing it when a Mountain appeared on my map even though I was still in Meadows

[lone egret]

Did your PC got blue screen or sth

[glacial swan]

Nope

[lone egret]

Huh so just the game file map gone weird for some reason

[glacial swan]

@quartz cairn It worked! Thanks a million

Didn't even reset my locations or explored areas, just put the correct biomes

[celest notch]

This should be fine for Ashlands integration right?

[true steeple]

Yes. The right side of the world might have a bit of old ashlands, but if you go near the south it'll all be new

[celest notch]

Thank you for the information!

[summer canyon]

for what its worth, we'd explored a decent few chunks of old ashlands before th update, but it was all replaced by real stuff, so a tiny amount like that you'll probably never notice

[small nest]

unique world it seems

[merry shale]

can ashland mobs burn the materials for buildings?

like portals or crafting stations

[atomic dock]

unfortunately, yes

[keen zodiac]

is that normal for tar pits?

[atomic dock]

don't quote me on this, but it seems like they can burn anything with a wood component

[merry shale]

welp

[atomic dock]

oh you're asking mobs specifically!

I don't recall mob fires being able to burn things

[merry shale]

i died and a blob blew up the portal and my duo says the materials are gone

[atomic dock]

oh wait blobs exist right

blobs can probably create fires

i was thinking more of the purple and green fires from other mobs, but blob fires are probably just normal standard fires

[merry shale]

well i havent seen any purple or green fires

[atomic dock]

if your friends are picking up coal instead, then blobs burned the portal

although they'd probably destroy it before it can burn...

anything that can burn will only burn the wood component, so you get everything back, and the equivalent amount of wood turned to coal

[merry shale]

so the cores and dwarf eyes wouldnt burn?

[atomic dock]

yup, only the wood

[merry shale]

well now i know what happened

[keen harness]

do leviathans respawn?

[atomic dock]

nope

[merry shale]

do items despawn

[severe bloom]

hi i have a question about digging canals
is there a way to do it without water ?
i'd enlarge a narrow path/dig deeper to let my boat go
i'm struggling a bit there...

[severe bloom]

they do after a looong time

especially if you bvuilt things around the items

[solemn oasis]

is frostner still a weapon i can use in the plains? its legit still?

[merry shale]

long time as in?

because i went to get something i dropped after maybe 20 ish minutes and it was gone

[marble roost]

yes. Holds up in Mistlands and even Ashlands too

[solemn oasis]

wow thats crazy

[marble roost]

yea, a bit weirdly balanced

[severe bloom]

you dropped it in water or someone else may have taken it

things doesn't leave in 20 mins

[merry shale]

i checked everywhere but idk its just gone

[severe bloom]

weird then

idk :/
i've had things in my bin hole near my base for a loong time and they definitely don't go away in 20 mins

[marble roost]

Anything with 20m of a playerbased structure doesn't despawn. So anything nearby a campfire, workbench, torch, etc.

[mystic solar]

No you can't dig dry and then let water in - water level is fixed at a certain height, once you dig down to that you get wet feet.
For a carve or longship it is enough to dig just deep enough so you can still stand there. In a storm you may hit ground at that spot, but otherwise it'll be fine.

[inland dawn]

About how far can you find 2 star wolves? I’ve been having trouble trying to find 2 star wolves

[marble roost]

Think they spawn in any mountain biome, but only at night and it's a low chance

[inland dawn]

ah thanks

[abstract zephyr]

Is there an easy way to copy a world seed from the main menu?

[drowsy bane]

I have a bit of a hard time, figuring out the detection radius of the trader while on the map. My current strategy is to simply sail around each island, and hope the radius is far enough that it should detect him. I know its twice the default minimap, but I have a hard time visualizing it. Is this strategy viable?

[wraith gorge]

I loaded my seed, trying to find Queen. Should a dungeon be where the "Queen" are located on the map? Dumb question but there are nothing where the icons shows.

[marble girder]

I can't find small bosses in my world.

[severe bloom]

No
i think getting in plains biome helps, i always find him quite soon after then

but i also found a trader by going overseas and doing nothing soooooooo

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[marble roost]

I’d recommend making landfall, popping eikthyr power, and running through an island if you find big Black Forest

[willow badge]

did you play on the world before the ashlands update?

[marble roost]

Some boss spawn locations changed during Ashlands so if you got the spot on your map before Ashlands update, it may have moved. Gotta find a new vegvisir (or interact with the old one again)

[willow badge]

afaik, all POIs change location between major updates if they're not generated prior

[wild bear]

Is anyone else experience a total game crash since the ashlands update?? My game has been completely unplayable and will not launch. Valheim email support has been completely useless

[marble roost]

The game won't launch or your server/world won't launch?

[outer marsh]

Do I need to stay close to the plantation? to grow?

[marble roost]

No

[undone spindle]

What is the point of asksvin?? They run away every time i dismount

[halcyon crag]

it's a good question

[buoyant peak]

Don't recommend bothering too much with tames.

They're essentially expendables, especially the mounts

[undone spindle]

Yeah had to learn the hard way to remove the saddle first thing after dismounting

That's 6 flametal I'm never gonna see again

[sweet crescent]

Can burial chamber bone piles spawn rancid remains?

[fierce trench]

I don't think so. I have never seen that. They can only spawn freely in the chamber

[terse cedar]

as a solo player, should I do ||ashlands before queen or after?||

[true steeple]

||Do it after if you don't want your builds to burn there||

[marble roost]

I'd say before but that's just me, I like skipping

[drowsy bane]

@marble roost I took your advice and found him. Thanks!

[obtuse path]

hy, what version of TextMeshPro is the game using ?

[lucid wadi]

im making an animal farm and i was wondering if i have 2 chickens 2 boars and 2 wolves next to each other will they still produce babies?

the babies are instantly taken out of there breeding range

[fringe sundial]

wolves might startle the others unless they are tamed first/already. it would be best to tame the wolves in a separate area before bringing them close to the others. once tame, they will not startle one another.

wow that was redundant.

[lucid wadi]

yeah im taming them separately im just wanting to know if they are ok all being in the same area or if it will go over the animal cap and stop breeding

[fringe sundial]

I don't believe the (other) species count towards the same cap. I have not tried but it would be odd if say, you had 20 boar and couldn't have wolves because you hit the cap with boars. I think each species is unique for their cap count.

[lucid wadi]

alright thank you ❤️ im new to breeding and still a little confused on the rules

[fringe sundial]

there are a ton of youtube videos out there that could help.

they break it down to the meters/animal in some of them

[lucid wadi]

yeah ive been watching some guides but i dont think they explained the animals interacting with each other

[fringe sundial]

i know untamed wolves will destroy anything but other wolves, but beyond that, I don't think boar and hens have issues with eachother.

[lilac coyote]

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

[lucid wadi]

alright. everything is tamed but i need a new wolf >.<. finaly got a second 1 star wolf and a drake one shot it

[fringe sundial]

ouch

[brisk glen]

question for a new person

I have chickens, i fed those chickens until i had a lot of chickens and now they wont lay eggs but still eat the food i give them

make it make sense

[lucid wadi]

theres to many to close

[lilac coyote]

More space required.

[fringe sundial]

yes, they likely hit there population per area cap.

[brisk glen]

okay but eggs are not chickens

[lucid wadi]

if i remember right chickens cap at 16? i may be wrong

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming#Breeding

[lucid wadi]

eggs count towards cap

[fringe sundial]

eggs do count for some reason. check the wiki.

[brisk glen]

wierd, thank you guys

[worldly grove]

Any tips on getting my skills to a higher level? I am in ashlands and i am only lvl 20 in like everything because i keep dying and loosing it, what is the best way to gain skill levels?

[spring frigate]

Can somebody help me how to even set up a server because i can't host it. I want to use current save im playing on so friends can join me. I need it either run all time or turning it on and off as we please for 4 people

[last osprey]

farming some kind of spawner usually. Draugr spawners are usually faster because they have a shorter cooldown, greydwarf spawners give useful materials for building.
A draugr village with 3 or 4 spawners is ideal if you can find one. Remove the houses, cover the spawners with terrain so they don't get destroyed, set up a shed with a fire for getting that sweet resting bonus to stamina/eitr regen and a portal and you have a perfect skill farm.

for elemental magic in particular you can just trap a stone golem in a pit and shoot it with the frost staff. Since they're immune they won't die so the only limitation to skill gain is how fast you can regen eitr.

[solemn oasis]

@ VALHEIM experts mistwalker or Krom what would u recommend and why

[opal obsidian]

Is this rare?

[opal obsidian]

Mistwalker, overall better, better in the Ashlands later on, you can use a shield with it, and lower stam usage I believe

[lusty veldt]

i have been playing pure magic for a long time now, i love blasting fire and vines everywhere.
Now i want to try playing hybrid magic and melee.
Is that even possible to play like that?
If yes, what would be the optimal gear setup, food and weapon i should use for hybrid playstyle?
I love swords main weapon.

[opal obsidian]

Flametal helmet with Embla robe and boots probably

[elder stump]

anyone else ever seen everything in their world just disappear? like the world just completely reset itself

cd ..

oops
