Thanks

[weary remnant]

is there anyway to prevent lizards spawning in my farm?

they keep destroying my little onions

[marble roost]

Be patient. Can take 5-10 min. Ignore if it says Valheim isn’t responding

[marble roost]

Spawnprotect it. Workbench, canpfire, torch, etc. will suppress spawns for 20m around them

[weary remnant]

thank you

[ancient widget]

Are these onion seed plants?

[obtuse quest]

Hey folks - I've tried answering this question by using the various spreadsheets but I can't figure it out.

Are there any shields that can parry a 1 ⭐ Morgen's swiping/bite attacks?

[marble roost]

Definitely. That attack is like 240 damage. That’s the same as a 2 star seeker, which are plenty parryable.

Best shield for parrying is maxed carapace buckler. Remember that maximum health helps to parry, so eat some more health food if you’re struggling to parry

[marble roost]

Also ofc magic shield can parry any amount of damage

I believe I've parried 1 star seekers on vhard, which are stronger than a 1 star morgen on normal difficulty

[hollow phoenix]

Question.
Wiki doesn't state it... yet, but does the shield generator prevent spawning much like campfires, workbenches and other base structures?
It feels like it does but I'm not sure.

[marble roost]

Yes

[inner wadi]

hi guys, my friend can't play in any version of the game besides the "public test version", he aren't able to click the connection button in the newest version, can someone help me?

[buoyant peak]

Revert back to normal version

[inner wadi]

he did that, and still can't join any server

[tribal nebula]

Hi, new here so sorry if this is the wrong spot. Looks like updates since 3/10/24 altered the terrain of a world I was playing in. Is there any guides on how to restore that terrain? (we have a castle in the deep north that's now floating and then immediately destroyed).

[buoyant peak]

There isn't

[tribal nebula]

Yeah, I'm getting a strong "client updated, maps dead, move on" vibe from it.

[thorn spire]

sucks, but yeah. the Ashlands update made some major changes to terrain generation in the last two biomes.

[tribal nebula]

In truth I'd be just as happy to roll back the client to last years lol I don't particularly care~

[lilac coyote]

There are people still using pre EA maps.

[tribal nebula]

Pre early access? I mean I know I can turn on god mode and essentially rebuild a la minecraft energy - just was kinda bummed to see a castle + teleporter nexus drop and basically hand me a to do list of labor lol

[lilac coyote]

Well, you're playing a game in heavy development and were building in a biome they hadn't even started on so I'm not sure what you expected.

[tribal nebula]

Oh for sure, I expected discovered geometry to be pretty static is all. Ish happens~ I was just curious if folks ran into it and had a "rollback" is all.

[ancient agate]

can someone explain the saving in this game it genuinly makes no sense
it feels like im saving a moment in time but im not saving any of my characters progress its so confusing

like i can go back to a save but the other people in my world dont go back to that save they are stuck where they last were

and half the time when i push save it doesnt even save lmfaoo

[marble roost]

What would be the best way to escape Ashlands ||granted no Drakkar and no portals. I'm debating between longship or catapult. Catapult sounds a lot more ideal, but it also requires raiding a fortress. Any other good ways to get out of there?||

[rain stag]

Do you have some sort of blast furnace available? Can't make catapults without flaremetal.
Do you have the ingredients for longship? You probably can build one right on the border spires and pray that it can last long enough.

[undone spindle]

Has anone managed to completely craft all ashland weapon variants from one world's resources? Just read theres only 20 POI's

[summer canyon]

To expand on what D00D said, you can get the iron for stonecutters and blast forges by breaking the pots in those ashvine covered ruins. You could build bridges between the more distant grausten spires to make swimming between them easier, and to get to a point where the longship becomes feasible. Problem in my eyes would be getting fine wood for the ship, assuming you don't already have it

[willow torrent]

@inner wadi make sure he went into xbox insider opted out of the test one, and restarted his xbox.

[sweet crescent]

whats the best way to get a rancid remains trophy?

[rain stag]

The most desprate teleport is to destroy every bed in Ashlands and then suicide and you will be back at the spawn with the boss alters

[dire hamlet]

raid dungeons in the black forest

[gilded rapids]

hey does anyone know if theres any working mods or smth to teleport ores/heavier items in the new update??

[shrewd sedge]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers?so=search#Portal_Settings

[potent heart]

howdy guys! how would i precisly make a path through here?

[white shale]

you can change portal restrictions in the world modifier options on the server select screen

[last osprey]

Make a base in the Mistlands after defeating Queen (or before defeating Yag) and turn raid rate to very high.
Technically any biome except mountains and Ashlands works but Mistlands only spawns skeleton, bat and the Hildir raids before defeating Yag and only adds charred raids after killing her so you have a higher chance to get the skeleton raid, especially if you haven't unlocked bats or the Hildir ones yet.

[wraith gorge]

Anyone else notice the high gpu usage in ashlands?

[cedar pike]

hey everyone ! long wait for the Mac Install but now Steam cant sync the Cloud so its not possible to start the Game on a Mac Studio !? any help ? THX

[full oar]

I bought the game through the AppStore, can you please advise me where the characters are stored? I want to transfer them from win to macos.

maybe a "mac-bugs-discussion" channel could be made like you have on other platforms?

[cedar pike]

💚 👍 yes please !

[cedar pike]

i found it on the app store but do i have to pay the Game twice to play it on a Mac ?

Steam shoud sync it so u shoud be fine

[full oar]

yes, it is possible to play it directly from steam. Well, I wanted to support the developers, so I bought it again.

[worldly grove]

the thing is i like to be able to not die and just keep hitting them with my axe, with greydwarf they deal almost no damage but draugr do

[last osprey]

you're in Ashlands. Draugr should be an absolute non-threat even in mage armor.

[cedar pike]

yes u coud play it befor on a mac with a windows running too. but now i thought it is a main install on the mac so there is no need to buy it twice. i mean i dont mind the 10 dollars but shoudnt be like this ?!

[worldly grove]

should i hit them with stone axe to level up skills the fastest?

[last osprey]

if you want to. In that case you likely want less spawners though since you'll take longer to kill them.

it depends on what your priorities are, really. If you don't care about loot use the stone axe, if you want to farm building mats (or coal via the obliterator) while grinding skills use better weapons and more spawners.

[worldly grove]

yeah thanks

seems way faster than the greydwarf spawner i have atleast

[obtuse path]

Hy, how to craft the cold fishing bait, i got a cauldron lvl 3, 20 bait and a fenring trophy, but no recipe.. ! ?

[still schooner]

Hi I've been trying to find the Dyrnwyn in the Ashlands but when I got to the map tack there was nothing there. Any suggestions? I have one on hand spawned thru console.

[viscid dragon]

can someone help me im getting micro stutters in valheim every 5 to 10 sec when moving around idk why my pc specs are ryzen 3 3200g with gtx 1650 other games run fine but this game is giving me trouble

[full oar]

yes, you don't need windows, you can have the game on steam but also on the appstore. straight to macos!

[keen zodiac]

My game keeps crashing after todays update. 🥲

What do I do!

[keen zodiac]

it seems to have become normal now

[devout shale]

A port of Valheim for macOS was released today. Thank you! Could you please tell me where to find the local save directory ?

[marble roost]

Yes I do. I have pretty much any materials I need available other than Queen drop.

Not even there yet, I'm just planning on skipping to Ashlands before Queen, but I have a rule for myself of no portals in Ashlands/Deep North so that's why I'm considering escape options. Going into Ashlands with momentum on a boat is fine, but getting out seems more dicey.

Really liking the catapult option though. Mistlands gear is OP too so I d4on't expect ||raiding a fortress for some cogs and flammetal will be too bad||

[still wraith]

Anyone else experienced that the mouse wheel has been reversed? Is there a hidden setting to undo this?

[magic wharf]

Good morning y'all.

Just started playing recently, 14,6h steam game time, so what's the best biome to build a fixed house? At the moment i'm killing skeletons and collecting Surtling cores inside Burial Chambers of the Black Forest

[lilac coyote]

Your first base would ideally be in the Meadows near the coast (for easy ship access). After that, aside from the occasional FOB you don't need anything else until the 5th biome.

Not that that stops you building more if you so wish of course.

[thorn spire]

I've currently got 3 'bases' in my game. I made a fairly large base around my boar pen in the meadows, then converted it to my farm once I moved in to BF. I built a nice house in BF with lots of smelters on the coast so I could explore. My main base now is in biome 5 as Derek mentioned.

[crisp wadi]

Yes! For building blocks its rotating the opposite direction... its annoying the hell out of me lol

[magic wharf]

Cool guys thanks for the answers!
It's worth to build some portals to avoid the sailing between meadows and BF?

[thorn spire]

I have portals everywhere

You're probably going to have to sail a bit, just to get the metals back to your meadows camp to make it nice.

[magic wharf]

Got it! Thanks for the answer Rudeman

[willow raft]

Me and my buddy usually make a base near the sea in the meadows, like Derek says.
That one is just something quick and easy and not a whole lot of work goes into it.

We make a small purpose specific base in the other biomes, most of the times its just smelters, killn and forge / workbench.

When we reach the plains (5th biome as Derek says) we make a permanent base, because you can grow all the food there from the previous biomes.

Mistlands gets another small base for farming the shrooms.

Portals are used extensively, making a surtling farm route for example, sometimes a berry portal loop as well, any spot we find interesting and will visit more than once gets a portal and a portal to easily go back to base with a "pocket portal".

[magic wharf]

That's a smart way to do it. Thanks for it, certainly I'll create the portals, it will help a lot!

[thorn spire]

I have a lot of unlinked portals around my map to keep clutter down at my base. If I'm sailing past an island with some potential, I'll drop a portal down on the coast somewhere and move on.

[hollow mantle]

You don’t have BF connected to your Meadows starting biome somewhere?

[willow raft]

Leave one portal blank so any new portal that gets put down connects to that, so if there is ever a oh shit, oh shit moment and you have time to toss down a portal you can make a quick get away.
Any time we go into a dungeon a workbench, a chest and portal gets put down at the entrance.

[magic wharf]

The first BF biome I found was after a little bit sailing (I died many times to a water serpent), so I thought it would be better to connect portals to avoid this

[hollow mantle]

Oh for sure set up portals. I’m just surprised you don’t have easier access to some BF. Maybe my friends and I got lucky with our starting island. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[round solar]

does r2modman work for dedicated servers?

[hollow mantle]

And, to answer your original question - we’ve created all our main bases in Meadows areas. Our first was funny - we quickly found ‘coast’, so set up there and built till we were ready to sail… turned out to be a lake! 🤣 We’re now on our 3rd main base, and only have outposts in Plains, Mistlands, and Ashlands. Lots of portals all over.

[iron quiver]

is there any reliable way to fish without the fishing rod? or i just gotta go buy a rod from the vendor?

[hollow mantle]

How does one report bugs? Found it.

[thorn spire]

You can occasionally find a fishing rod in ice caves. I never have though. Best to just buy it.

[full oar]

Yes, on MacOS version from AppStore, but version from Steam working...

[marble roost]

Some people put out boats or certain structures in the water to get fish stranded. I once had a base on the coast with very high waves, and everytime I walked out in my yard I found 5-6 fish. Never had that accidentally productive a base before

Hi does someone know how to fix black screen when launching the game? I am playing on xbox app on my pc and when i open the game i can see only black screen not even the menu.

I tried so many solutions but nothing works

[iron quiver]

also is there a way to permanently change world effects like the no exp/lvls lost on death? i know about the command but i read that you need to apply it every time i start playing again

[lilac coyote]

Every time? No. Just once is enough.

[iron quiver]

oh so doing once was enough?

[lilac coyote]

There is no None setting.

[iron quiver]

it literally autofilled it for me

playing latest update, no mods

[long sage]

Is there anyways to let the enemies only spawn at 2 star

[iron quiver]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers think its in there somewhere whe you can adjust it with console

[quartz cairn]

or using mods

i only had the option to type what i sent an image about above

[buoyant peak]

Did you enable devcommands?

Just type devcommands and then use that command above

[iron quiver]

this sofr somereason i never really saw mentioned

and this only needs to be typed in once?

[buoyant peak]

Until you reset (exit) the game

[iron quiver]

so then is there another way to change it permanently?

[buoyant peak]

Oh you meant the command itself, I thought you meant devcommands

It is permanent, it would only reset if you change the world modifiers in any way

Hi, if I'm not mistaken, the last update changed the build piece rotation direction on the mouse wheel?

Yes, as per the other 20,000 posts about it, sadly a bug seems to have crept into the game that's reversed this.

Hi!
Does Lord Reto respawn? Also, is he supposed to drop a trohpy like all previous mini bosses?
We killed him and it didn't drop any trophy so we're wondering if it's not a guaranteed drop and we need to kill him again (if he respawns) until it drops or if it simply doesn't drop a trophy

[marble roost]

no and no

Would be cool with a trophy though

doesn't he drop the final piece of Dyrnwynn?

oh, trophy, nvm.

trophy is the cool-@$$ sword, I think.

Hey has anyone ever received the term cannot resolve join code? It used to work, then got it on steam, then after a few months back to gamepass and now others cannot join my game

[fringe sundial]

I have heard of people not being able to cross play due to a difference in game version, but "join code" is new to me. Is that the "password " you set up when you launch a server? You might get more help on the server help section: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[barren yarrow]

My brother and I are finding alot of locations on a map seed viewer to either be non existent,or something else is there instead,could this be a possible conflict due to the recent update?it's happening in areas we haven't explored,which is majority of the map,we haven't explored much

[hollow mantle]

The join code is what is used to join loaded worlds that use the -crossplay option so that the server is listed on the MS server registry and is an alternative to using your IP address and port numbers. You don't necessarily need to launch the world as a dedicated server to use this option.

[hollow mantle]

The join code should change every time you load the world, so make sure you always grab the updated join code (which you verified you do in the Dedicated Server tab). Do you also launch the world as a Community Server (aka listed publicly on the Server List)? Are you launching the world as a dedicated server (the world is being launched outside of your game client)?

[grave rivet]

Anyone know?>

[marble roost]

Entirely up to preference. I'd say generally more experienced players go for light armor like ask, because they trust in their skills to dodge parry and evade enemies more, so at that point the extra movement speed and stamina reduction is very nice

If you feel like you get hit a lot, flammetal is great

[grave rivet]

I see! Whats the general food rotation looking like? 1 health 2 stamina?

something like Crust Pie, Piquant Pie, Scorching Medley?

[marble roost]

I’d say 2hp 1 stamina. I never find 2 stamina being necessary for anything

[last osprey]

eating 1 hp food in ashlands is kind of pointless. You're better of going 1 eitr 2 stam and just using bubble staff to survive instead.

[sweet crescent]

i run 2 H 1 S most of the time

if your running magic
2 E 1 H is probably the best

[marble roost]

I run 2H 1S non-magic, and 2E 1S usually on magic

[last osprey]

For mage i usually run 3 E or 1 S 2E.
1 H still gets you oneshot in mage armor by most things so there's very little point eating hp food as a mage in Ashlands.

[sweet crescent]

Fair most of a mages duribillity comes from his summons and shield

[grave rivet]

so Mashed Meat, Crust Pie, Piquant Pie?

[marble roost]

On Normal I’d say a mage could tank a hit just fine on 1 hp food. On hard/vhard it starts to become pointless tho

Still though, I find it better to just spam shield staff

[sweet crescent]

shield+skeltons will give you the duri you need

[last osprey]

from a marksmen or twitcher maybe. A valkyrie or asksvin will kick your teeth in though, and don't even bother trying to block or parry those.

[sweet crescent]

after all why take the hits yourself when you can summon some skeletons to get hit for you!

[last osprey]

so better to have more stam for dodging and use bubble for when you mess up imo

[sweet crescent]

yeah and bubble is even better if your playing with others

[marble roost]

Valk or morg or 2 star I’d expect a onehsot from yea. A regular Askvin I’d doubt it tho

Of course it all depends on armor choice too. If going 1 hp I’d prob also go for a flammetal or carapace helmet

[round smelt]

can someone send a screenshot of their surling farm?

[last osprey]

yeah, i'm talking about mage armor. With a half-decent armor value hp food becomes more viable.

I've noticed a similar issue when I switch between apps. I open Valheim in fullscreen mode fine, but it goes black and minimizes when I alt-tab to another app.

just started since the last update.

[normal ingot]

Hey! Is the ask set not meant for bows, or are bows just really bad in ashlands?

[marble roost]

Bows are very OP in general (at least if you have a little bit of skill in them), but due to pierce resist in Ashlands and frost arrows becoming a bit old this late in the game, I'd say bows slow down to be more balanced. Going from OP to balanced can definitely make it FEEL like they're bad though. I'd heavily recommend using bow with lightning or nature tho

Ask set is pretty good with bows, not specifically meant for it though. Askvin also does great with melee

[normal ingot]

Im playing with a mage using the lasher and fire staff, and a melee friend that uses the berserking axes, and they hit like 3 times harder. I definitely dont see them being balanced xD

maybe early game

im 60 skill in bows, dunno if thats low

ill prob swap to spear or something, if thats the case

i prob just bad at aiming then ig

[minor rover]

Does it have a name, I can't find it in the wiki

[fickle marlin]

Hi, not sure if this is the right place but is there a way to clear your recent server list

[opaque shoal]

bro we are the same haha

[fickle marlin]

There's an old world on there that I ran with someone I was with formerly and having it pop up isn't ideal still

[opaque shoal]

do you use dedicated server?

[last osprey]

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

[storm rock]

speaking of passive enemies should i still be worried about enemies like sea serpents or bonemaws as i would assume they will aggro on my boat and not me

[fickle marlin]

shouldn't be afaik

as far as I know the other person hosted it

but it is still in my recents

[opaque shoal]

try to ask on dedicated server channel, there are poeple who really know things about this, they helped me alot.

[hollow mantle]

Does Valheim support IPv6 connections?

[opaque shoal]

if you play melee you can parry asksvins and valkyries if you have a good shield and good block skill level. but im not sure about starred asksvins. it also depends on difficulty

[hollow mantle]

I've managed to do it, but it's really hard to clear the recent server list. Are you playing on Steam or Xbox?

[opaque shoal]

also about melee, is the ||flametal shield|| even worth it? i think that the ||mistlands buckler|| can have higher block armor with a parry than the ||flametal|| shield

[opaque shoal]

you can summon it with a rod it attacks everything even the summoner

[fickle marlin]

steam

I think I might've sussed it

[hollow mantle]

Try #valheim-help message

[fickle marlin]

maybe not nvm

cheers brother

[hollow mantle]

Let me know if it works...it took me a while to get it to stick.

[storm rock]

also what is this

and are abominations dangerous on passive enemies

[hollow mantle]

Abominations are enemies and will (should) remain passive unless you hit them with something.

[storm rock]

ok

but please tell me what is with the spooky statue and what can still aggro on passive enemies

[hollow mantle]

Abominations are the bom!

[hollow mantle]

I think it's just a statue...and from my experiences when playing on "passive enemies" pretty much everything will not attack you unless you attack them.

[storm rock]

what about minibosses?

i know bosses auto aggro

[hollow mantle]

I haven't yet encountered a miniboss...just mobs and bosses. In fact, I wasn't aware there were minibosses in Valheim.

[fathom badge]

It wasn't a giant, it was just up close...

[sweet crescent]

depends what you consider a miniboss

the abomination and troll can be considered mini bosses

or are you talking about the hilder minibosses

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I consider the trolls, abominations (boms), and the large mobs as just mobs. The only minibosses would be from the Hildir quests, but I would also just consider those bosses.

[sweet crescent]

now a real qustion
would you say a troll could beat eikthyr and vise versa

(Abom beating eldar stone golom beating bone

[hollow mantle]

I don't know...but I would guess yes, unless something about the way Eikthyr moves and attacks makes it so the troll always misses. It's always been my experience that something in a higher biome pretty much clobbers a no-star mob in a lower difficulty biome. Now if it was a 2-star troll against a bom...

I've led many a troll into the swamps to have it annihilated by an abomination...so I'd imagine going the other direction, the troll would annihilate Eikthyr.

Unless they don't attack each other...I think Forest and Meadow creatures are friendly.

[subtle halo]

can anyone tell me if its possible to start a new singleplayer wold without transfering over your items from the previous one?

[hollow mantle]

So, your character and worlds save independently. So anything on your character when you logout gets saved to your character file and will transfer to a new world when you connect. If you don't want to bring anything with you, just empty your inventory into the old world, and then logout (or just make a new character and a new world to start over from scratch.)

[stable bough]

i just died with the second piece of the new firesword in my inventory and my game crashed after i had recovered my body and now when i logg back in im naked in my bed with my inventory gone

question about Mistlands material :
How do I build these super sturdy support beams ?

[buoyant peak]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-the-neat-part-you-dont-invincible-gif-27194608

[hollow mantle]

Aye, if you have it set to keep your inventory on death, then most likely the piece is lost between the disconnect of the world and character saves. You can 1.) roll back the world and character saves to a point before you lost the piece of firesword, but then you'll also have to redo all the stuff you had done already (which could be a lot if it's a really old save)...or 2.) enable devcommands and just spawn all the missing items (or materials to make the missing items). You can do this in a local world save if you are usually playing on a dedicated server and then login to it with the items in your character inventory. Sorry for the issue...hopefully they can hammer out what's causing the crashes in a future update.

[versed zodiac]

that sucks...

[fringe sundial]

The closest we have as players are the iron banded wood posts/beams. Unfortunately, those 2x thick beams aren't apart of the buildable materials list. You might be able to cheat and spawn them, but not in vanilla.

[versed zodiac]

I wish we could build them, they look VERY sturdy, and ||sexy||

[stable bough]

TY for your answer, whelp looks like were done with this patch then, we've been having massive desync problems since we got to the Ashlands and everyone is feeling burned out

[rigid lance]

Any tips for defeating moder with a 4 man on hardest difficulty?

feels really rough , adds are becomign too much especially since u cant block sh1t on this difficulty 😛

[fringe sundial]

If adds are the issue, campfires or work benches everywhere should help.

[rigid lance]

oh nice tip, thanks

[fringe sundial]

If it were bonemass, since they are his spawn(s), the spawn suppression wouldn't help any, but with moder, they are random walk-in mobs so it should help limit them.

[rigid lance]

it was moder

[elfin fog]

one of my friends is having trouble booting Valheim through steam on Mac

anyone found out how to fix this yet?

[novel raven]

i spawned in haldor when i was building but idk how to get rid of him

[lilac coyote]

Enjoy having Haldor.

[novel raven]

no i mean with commands im cheating in a build world

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, you can't, as far as I know.

[fringe sundial]

Force delete command should work. Just make sure the radius is small.

Don't Wana delete the normally spawning one by accident.

[novel raven]

it worked thank you so much

it would have been goofy having him sitting in the middle of my build

[fringe sundial]

Haha.

[lavish cosmos]

tips for beating yaguleth??

[fringe sundial]

Barley wine (fire resistance), health meads and your favorite set up for food/armor/weapon.

[marble roost]

Fire resist potions. Best food available (2 hp 1 stamina). I’d recommend fenris legs, chest, or both bc movement speed can be nice. But otherwise padded armor

Don’t use a pierce weapon. Black metal or silver weapons are great (Silver sword and frostner are actually very good)

Eikthyr or bonemass boss power

[lavish cosmos]

cheers boss - will try again tommorow

[chilly patrol]

anyone having Failed To Connect problems after today's update?

[hollow mantle]

Nope, no issues connecting to a locally hosted dedicated server on Linux from a Windows Steam client. Are you connecting to dedicated server? Local server? Remote hosted server? What OS? What version?

[chilly patrol]

weird okay finally got it.. rather than just typing localhost:2456, i had to add my internal IP now o.O

[winged tide]

I'm having problems with the PlayFab login, it's just taking forever to get through the prompt, anyone else experiencing this issue? Am I not seeing a prompt, or is there a firewall issue perhaps?

[wintry socket]

me

my friends also cant connect

it fixed itself

[light imp]

how am I supposed to traverse the lava in the ashlands? I use the basalt bombs to make platforms but then these massive fireballs knock me off the platform and then I die instantly.

[rain stag]

Tamed Asksvin or catapaults

[marble roost]

Or go around

[light imp]

I'm playing with a friend group, all of our graves are in the middle of this lava lake

[marble roost]

I’m surprised how much people are complaint about fire balls tho. I’ve never had one even come close to me, but I also haven’t traversed lava THAT much

[light imp]

and we can't get to it without fireballs knocking us off the basalt platofrorms

[marble roost]

It does sound super suckish to get hit tho

[light imp]

I wish I could record my game

so you can see the fireballs coming from off screen

[lone reef]

Friends and I just got up to mountains. Every time it starts to snow/blizzard my game freezes/crashes. Anyone have a fix for this?

[rain stag]

Shield generators will protect from fireballs

[silver hill]

Question:
executing SetKey EnemyDamage 110
would increase damage dealt by mobs by 10%,
is that right?

[summer canyon]

now I was pretty sure Asksvin couldn't safely traverse lava once tamed

[gloomy phoenix]

Anyone know if there is a way to get into the game audio files so I can delete the annoying shield chime sound? it's seriously annoying over time

[fringe sundial]

That would likely take a mod. Try your luck here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[fringe sundial]

From what I heard, they can but it's buggy and you would need to bubble your ask mount to be relatively safe.

[tepid gale]

If the wind is against me and my sails are down will the ship stop or will it go a rowing speed?

[gloomy phoenix]

if you are touching a ship, it will always drift some. if you stop rowing though it would keep going at that speed

[fringe sundial]

I don't think wind has a negative value against sails (if it did, you would be faster backing up with sails open then rowing). I have not tested it out but it is a interesting thought.

[hexed monolith]

Is the battleaxe worth getting over the iron sword

[vestal galleon]

hey all, my friend passed away last year. We were playing Valheim together. He moved our world to a dedicated server. I don't have access to his host credentials. I fear that after a while this server will shut down. So I'm hoping to save our world locally. Is there a way to do this?

[lone egret]

I think u need to contact the person who host that world right now

[winged tide]

anyone having this issue, a re-install fixed it. something related to the recent update may have just broken a login token so just reinstalling seems to have reset the token and fixed it

[gloomy edge]

Sorry about your friend. If you know the host provider try reaching out to their CS and explain what happened. Give them all the info you have about the server, like its name IP address or any logs you have

they might be able to verify your situation and transfer the server files to you

[woeful pivot]

hell no

it’s good but 2 handed is so ass and especially in the mountains cause if u get jumped by a pack of wolves you need ur shield ready

[last osprey]

atgeir > shield when it comes to wolves, otherwise you just get stagger locked by a hunted raid.
Battleaxe is indeed ass though, but that's mostly because it's slow, awkward to use and has short reach, not because it's 2 handed.

[woeful pivot]

hmm i died so many times cause of wolves it’s insane i made the battleaxe and died so many times cause of wolves and drakes just coming out of nowhere i like my shield but ig it’s js preference

[last osprey]

also you get the crystal battleaxe in the mountains anyway and there's nothing particularly vulnerable to slashing in between there, so there's very little reason to craft the battleaxe even if you like using twohanded axes.

[woeful pivot]

yh

[last osprey]

really of the iron weapons the only ones worth crafting are the mace, the bow, the atgeir and possibly the sledgehammer.
Everything else is not that useful in the swamp and gets replaced in the mountains anyway.

[rain stag]

Do troll stuff meteor work on Flametal spires? I saw it work on most metals in earlier biome

[storm rock]

Hey is there a way to keep lag down my computer normally runs valhiem around 40 fps but when im at my main base it drops down to 15

[shut prairie]

YO am i buggin bro? whenever i rotate a piece i swear it like flipped overnight. is it the update?

[mystic solar]

High instance count like you get in a big base does reduce fps. Look into the pinned messages in this channel for a video with lots of good hints how to improve performance.

[willow raft]

Known bug it is being worked on.

[shut prairie]

oh ok thanks

[finite sorrel]

If solo you can prep a bit by building some stone walls in between the summoning pillars, with small gaps in between you can run through. Gives you a place to take cover from his raining meteor attack which IMO is what kills me the most. Sure you can run away from it but getting in close and slapping him with the silver sword is the way

[willow raft]

I try and use his head as cover for the meteors while smacking him.

[finite sorrel]

Haha that works

[dire moat]

So I had a world that was named the same as a world in my cloud save. I turned cloud save on loaded the world, saw it was the wrong world and turned off cloud save. The world is fine but my map is the same as the one on the cloud. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[main dust]

I believe if u use a cap table that might work

[dire moat]

cap table?

[worldly grove]

what is the best way of leveling up run skill?

[main dust]

What skills u want to level bro

[worldly grove]

run and jump

[main dust]

The tabel that updates the map bro

[dire moat]

didnt have one so that wont work

[main dust]

I would say probably by running and jumping plenty of stamina food

[worldly grove]

yeah but can i make some sort of build for it

[main dust]

Why did u use the same name bro

[main dust]

They are skills that u should use for evey build anyways

[dire moat]

because it was over a year ago

[willow raft]

Build a ramp with 45° roof tiles, make sure to build high railings that you can't jump over and a stop at the end.
Extend the railings past the start though to make sure that when you slide down when you don't have stamina anymore you don't veer left or right and run away into the wild unknown.
Tape the run button down and get a toy bird that pecks your jumping key at certain intervals.

[main dust]

Maybe start a new game

I have to start a new game as i backed out the public test servers

[marble roost]

Eikthyr and stamina food helps for getting run and jump skill. For jump you can also go in your house where you're "resting" which gives you massive stamina regen, and then put a floor piece right above your head then spam jump. The floor piece will stop you from going too high, meaning you only do a short jump and then you can immediately jump again. Don't spam jump when out of stamina tho, it doesn't count. Gotta wait for stamina to regen then keep jumping

[dire moat]

The answer for anyone searching for it is to go into your worlds manage saves and then restore an older save of that world.

[iron quiver]

does the trick of logging out on the kraken while mining cithin to reset its sinking still work?

[marble roost]

Don't think so

Haven't tried, but I remember patch notes saying it was fixed

[iron quiver]

alright ye, it was gone when i got back in xd, good thing i was full hp

[main dust]

I believe he already tryed this and i different issue happened

[magic forge]

Is anyone experiencing extreme lag/desync since like yesterday? We booted up our server today and everyone including me (host) is very desynced & lagging all over the place. Trolls have no animations and randomly just do damage while sliding across ground

[thin zephyr]

is monster labz or monsternomicon better or can i run both fine?

[marble roost]

those mods?

[thin zephyr]

yes

[buoyant peak]

#mods-discussion

[long sage]

hey guys what is the variety for setkey enemydmg and setkey playerdmg

[worldly grove]

what do you mean with jumping key at certain intervals?
why jump?

[buoyant peak]

Variety about what?

[willow raft]

To train jumping and most of the time the jump key is the spacebar.

[chilly patrol]

idk what they did with the mac patch but I am having bug after bug since they dropped it and it shouldn't have even affected windows

omfg and then it tele spawned me into lava once I finally fix my cloud save

[inner harness]

can anyone give me any item

[willow raft]

The console can do that for you.

[narrow swan]

Hi i was wondering, in terms of mod support for valheim. Whats the games Current Version?

as for a mod like ValheimRafts, it was last updated at 24 August 202, does this mean I cant use it in todays version of valheim?

[willow raft]

Asking in#mods-discussion or #mods-issues will probably get you a more accurate and maybe even faster answer than asking here.

[narrow swan]

o ok

[fallen pier]

there is a site that calculates the weather and the wind and so on. does anyone have it at hand?

[quartz cairn]

https://jerekuusela.github.io/valheim-weather/

[fallen pier]

thanks, unfortunately that's not the one i meant. it was one that calculates it continuously for all days as you scroll down

[real nebula]

http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1 maybe?

[fallen pier]

exactly, ty 🙂

[shy shard]

Should I fish away from the shore ? Feels like the fishes I reel in get stuck in the sea floor

[willow raft]

You can but if you fish from shore you can do the walk back trick and catch em like that, finding a good fishing spot with less steep decline can also help.

[shy shard]

Could you explain that trick ?

This is the first time I ever fish in this game so I don't really know anything other than the basic controls

[willow raft]

Throw the line close to shore or reel it in without any fish on till it is close to shore.
Wait till a fish bites it and hook it, now walk back, the fish will get dragged on land, you then sprint closer and pick it up.

[shy shard]

Ahh okay I see

[ebon marsh]

I accidentally clicked something and its showing my FPS, instances, ZDO active etc and im not sure what button hides this info

[true steeple]

f2?

[ebon marsh]

Ah it was thank you

[simple totem]

You can play with a group of over 10 people?

[lilac coyote]

Only 10 players at a time on a server.

[fringe sundial]

I think the game has a upper limit (might be 10) but I think there are mods to increase that limit.

But as with any mod,it will have a high chance to make the game have bugs.

[astral tapir]

Do upgrades of the Staff of the Wild increase the root slam damage? It says 20 blunt 20 poison to 40 blunt 40 poison, but it doesn't specify what's getting increased.

[marble roost]

I think it sadly just increases the initial poison cloud hit and not the roots themselves, but I'm not certain

[mint current]

Hey so whenever I try to join a server, my pc crashes (not the game but the pc, as in, blue screen) but when people join my world it works. Any idea how to fix this and why it happens?

[loud linden]

Acting as a client or a server is not the same thing. I'd recommend reinstalling your network driver. Maybe also try connecting having disabled any firewall/anti-virus software.

[sudden cipher]

Can someone explain why I can't see anything in the crafting and upgrade section? XD I used dev commands to recover my stuff from an impossible location, and now I can't see the crafting options.
i ve reinstalled the game, deleted the valheim folder from the common
still persists

[fathom badge]

Never had any mods installed? What dev commands did you use and how did you recover things? What crafting options... on any workstation, or just in your character menu, or what?

[sudden cipher]

nope, never

[sudden cipher]

only used devcommands, debugmode, fly

[fathom badge]

That shouldn't have changed anything at all. Do you have a screenshot of what you're seeing (or not seeing, in this case)?

[sudden cipher]

yep

ill send you in dm

[weary remnant]

can two 1☆ boar make a 2☆ baby?

[gloomy edge]

no..

[last osprey]

it definitely increases root damage too with upgrades. Not sure of the exact amount but very noticable.

[lament scroll]

played vanilla all thru mistlands... started firelands, and ouch, got popped into the bottom of a deep lava well and died. 2nd set of gear now located directly next to first set of gear. at bottom of lava well. 3rd set of gear now located on lip of lava well. getting frustrated. activate godmode. recover gear. still play with godmode. really start to like godmode. find fly mode. fly around mapping firelands. start spawning in stuff and totally cheating. map and destroy 25 forts, ghost mode the boss. look around and realize what I've done. lost interest in game. quit playing. /facepalm

at some point, I'll go back and legit learn and defeat the boss, kinda ruined my dinner by eating too much dessert. 😦

[gloomy edge]

You can retrieve your grave without devcommands by using a new bomb. You'll need to read the descriptions of each bomb to find out which one

[lament scroll]

yeah that's how 2nd and 3rd sets of gear found their way to the same lava pit. practicing with the new bombs. and failing lol in retrospect, looking back, if I'd plowed thru straight vanilla (as a solo), I'd be grinding for a few more weeks getting thru firelands. its a slog

mysterious things require traversing the whole damn map just about. that's unique to the firelands biome

[marble roost]

No. A 2 star and a 0 star can though

[granite kestrel]

is there a skill that makes you always have wind in your sails? or im a making stuff up? thought there was a skill like that

or something else?

nvm thats moder

[cinder stirrup]

This might have been asked like 100 times before...
Will the Ashlands generate correctly on a older world (the bottom part of the map has not been explored at all)

[tired notch]

The Ashlands itself will generate fine. Do keep in mind that there were some generation changes to deep north too so any builds there will probably be floating, and on your way, you might see some black forest or Mistlands that's closer to Ashlands also floating.

[novel solstice]

hello everyone I would like to know if there is a solution, if a friend of mine creates a server, I can only play if he plays, how can it be done so that I can play in the server without him being in the game?

[merry shale]

how can i get creative so i can test stuff

[tired notch]

You'd need to create a dedicated server that keeps the world up. #dedicated-server has info on that.

[novel solstice]

Will they tell me how to do it?
@tired notch

[tired notch]

I recommend you check out the "Useful Info" in the pinned comments, it should give you info on how to do it.

[novel solstice]

where?

@tired notch

[undone spindle]

Anyone else finding that asksvin ribcages are extremely rare? Got several of the other pieces but no ribcage yet

[merry shale]

theres a ribcage?

[undone spindle]

Supposedly yeah, thats how you make the skele decoration

[merry shale]

its probably rare considering i havent gotten even one with probably over 100 asksvin kills

[undone spindle]

Its from the skeleton pile not the live one, Like the ones you find in putrid holes

[merry shale]

oh

i havent gotten any from those either and ive broken a good amount

[cobalt lichen]

🎣 I was wondering this myself. Spent an hour on live and couldn't get a bite. Can confirm that after spending some time in the PTB that it seems to be fixed there.

[hollow mantle]

Why might my Tunic and Cap not be working?

I am chopping trees with a Black Metal Axe and it's usingthe same amount of Stamina regardless of whether I am wearing either the tunic or the cap...

[buoyant peak]

Because chopping isn't a base activity. Building and farming is

[hollow mantle]

Huh. I'm sure I saw somewhere that it works with axes. And I could have sworn it used to work. But, thanks.

So just Hammer and Cultivator? What about Hoe?

[undone spindle]

The ashland light armor set will work for woodcutting since it reduces attack stamina usage

[buoyant peak]

Afaik yes

Passive activities basically, except fishing

[hollow mantle]

OH! Nice.

[marble roost]

Yea there was a patch in ptb fixing it

Axe skill is also good for lowering stamina use when woodcutting

[vale kite]

what's a good way to level up melee weapons?

[marble roost]

Hit enemies. Based just on # of hits, not damage or quality of weapon

Going to a greydwarf spawner or Swamp draugr/skelly spawners is a good place to farm it. Best to use a less strong weapon, like if farming knives use flint knife because it doesn't kill the enemy as fast so you can farm for longer

Can also tame a lox and then enable friendly fire and wail away at it (stopping right before it dies)

[vale kite]

ok

[fathom badge]

Also, don't worry too much about your skills. They're a nice to have, but they really aren't worth farming. You will naturally get a boost with things you use.

[vale kite]

do the lox's regen

[vale kite]

i naturally leveled up my dagger to level 100 and i realized there's no dagger in ashlands

so i wanna switch to dual axe

[marble roost]

yea but it takes a while. A lot faster if you feed them a cloudberry

[vale kite]

so right now my skoll and hati is literally doing 3x more damage than my axes rn

[vale kite]

holy moly i fed the lox 50 cloudberries and it healed full hp already

[floral token]

The first cloudberry it eats will heal its hp a large amount, then it'll tick hp up slowly after until it's hungry again.

[idle shadow]

I have this issue

[orchid mirage]

did you find a fix?

[winged tide]

any tips for navigating the Mistlands? The mist and rough terrain really make it a slog to get around and find the dungeons

[idle shadow]

Nah, im thinking its not with Valheim. I have the same issue in Totalwar warhammer

[marble roost]

Go up high to look above mist. Look out for wisp lights indicating dvergr settlements or infested mines

Use your ears to listen for dvergr (possibly a dvergr settlement) seekers (possibly an infested mine) and ticks (probably a skull)

Some areas of mistlands will have no mist. Kinda nice

[winged tide]

thanks, will try it out

[elder stump]

anyone ever had a world just wipe and apparently reset back to nothing? we didn't login to our self-hosted dedicated server after 4 days and it just wiped itself.

[grave folio]

anyone elses game look blurry after the update ? all the text looks kinda fuzzy, all my graphics are on high too

[thorn spire]

my graphics look different too. hard to say about blurry since I logged on to night and fog.

[chilly patrol]

I snuck over the wall of a fortress in ashland and cleared the mobs (so no doors opened). I noticed the giant ghost bird trying to get me but it seemed like it couldnt get over the wall/was stuck... can they not get in or was that one just derping?

[chilly patrol]

also, are the charred fortress walls impregnable (for mob damage)?

[solar badger]

Valkyries do sometimes get confused by fortresses, but not always.

And yeah the fortress walls cannot be breached by regular enemy damage

[chilly patrol]

sweet, so we only have to worry about 1 mob type then, noice

[solar badger]

Yeah, I own four fortresses now.

I also discovered that you can pickaxe a moat inside so you can breach the door before or after and still keep the place defensible.

Also while the walls go down forever the stairs do not, so you can dig a tunnel underneath them

[chilly patrol]

oh neat! I just found a high cliff next to one, artillery'ed it with fire staff, then feather cloaked in with portal materials 😄

I have not fought a valkyrie yet (I assume the ghost bird) how strong is it?

[ebon marsh]

One of the strongest enemies in Ashland’s

[marble roost]

Imo second strongest non-boss enemy

[tired notch]

What's first?

[marble roost]

Morgen

[chilly patrol]

oh really? morgen is strong but I think its rather kite-able

is the valkyrie melee only or does it do ranged stuff?

[pearl mortar]

It shoots fire

[chilly patrol]

good thing I built ballistas sigh lol

i assume those will catch on fire

[compact finch]

Is it true the ashlands are safer the more inland you go? If so, is it less mobs?

Also the valk is definitely the strongest. At least parrying the morgen will always net hits. Sometimes you will parry the valk and not get anything due to varying heights

I would say it does depend on what build you have. Im sure a morgen is harder for mages or archers

[stable thistle]

Recently recover my inventory and 2 of my wands just dissaper

is this a bug or somethig?

someone knows how to restore and old early save

[charred iron]

How does one go about smelting black metal scrap?

[tired notch]

You need to create a Blast Furnace, have you defeated Moder yet?

[cinder rapids]

is there a specific way to find 2star askins

[tired notch]

They only spawn during night.

[plush rapids]

just do devcommands and spawn <item> 1

[plush rapids]

I would say no personally, if anything you are more surrounded on all sides + lava

[fierce sierra]

can someone explain these to me in a simple manner?

[true steeple]

Block armor reduces damage taken and works the same way as your armor
Block force is knockback applied to enemies when blocking
Parry bonus multiplies block armor when parrying

[fierce sierra]

for example if i parry with this shield, how much damage i block? @true steeple

90 x 1.5 + 101?

[true steeple]

The yellow number is the block armor the shield actually uses, increased by your block skill

101 * 1.5 is your parry block armor

[willow raft]

The 101 in parentheses is the block you will have because of skill.
So you would block for 151 ish.

Bucklers have 2.5 parry bonus and therefor are predominantly used for parrying, they have lower base armor but the bonus makes up for it, will stagger enemies easier.

[fierce sierra]

so this one is going to block 87 x 2.5 = 217.5? based on my skill? only when i parry ofc

[true steeple]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor here’s how armor and block armor reduce damage

[willow raft]

Correct.

[true steeple]

It will only block that much damage if the enemy deals at least 435 damage

[rain stag]

Hell no. But the only things worthwhile as loot is from things inland. Charred are just trash fodder designed to waste your resources.

[fierce sierra]

why 435? isn t only 218~, all damage that surpass the block i will receive it, right?

[willow raft]

No the calculation works differently:
If armor is less than half of raw damage, health lost = damage - armor. But if armor is more than half of the damage, health lost = (Damage/(Armor*4))*Damage.

For example:
You have 100 hp, there is 40 incoming damage, you have 60 armor results in taking 6.666 damage.

Other way around with damage being bigger than armor: 100 hp, 40 incoming damage, 30 armor, results in 13.333 damage.

Now if the armor is half of the damage it is correct, so with 20 armor and 40 incoming damage it will result in 20 damage.

[fierce sierra]

i appreciate your help guys, thanks

[fierce sierra]

this concept is same when blocking with the shield?

or just damage with raw armor when ur getting hit?

[willow raft]

The armor all gets added up and then the formula is applied.

[ebon marsh]

Parrying is better than blocking, it increases the armor value of the shield and gives you a window of dealing more damage

[rain stag]

I am on an island and I want to make a massive ranch. Should I raise the seafloor or build a massive wooden floor bay? (One that doesn't explode and drown all my animals if a lox stomps on it).

[willow raft]

I'd go with raising the seafloor, gives you a solid foundation to build on and the loxes can roam on the land instead of having wood under their hooves.

[rain stag]

What's the best way to do that then? I can barely reach the bottom of the sea from the shore. Anyone got experience? I can slowly farm the rocks needed with my new troll staff

[willow raft]

If there is a storm and the waves go wild, get in a boat and wait till the waves dip deep and click away.

Start at the shore and aim for the lowest furthest point from the part you just heightened and tag it on there and keep going like that, you might go quite high but the pickaxe and the hoe can straighten that out for you.

[near forum]

If a friend is the host of a server, is there any way to change the owner of the host? Our friend is going on holidays, and he won’t be able to open the server for the group 😔

[willow raft]

Save the world locally and send those files to the person you want to make owner, that person then needs to put the files in the right place and voila world owner changed.

[hot mantle]

i have looked trough 3 swamps and havent found turnip seeds is there any other way to find them

[ebon parcel]

Does anyone have any advice on setting up a breeder for Asksvin. I can get them to mate and produce Eggs, no problem. But in the pit where they drop, the eggs won't hatch. There is a fire nearby and I have checked they are warm

[marble roost]

no

[willow raft]

They are hard to spot, just need to keep on looking, it might be that you just mist them in the swamps you already checked.
If it is really an inconvenience you could console them in but that could be considered "cheating".

[hot mantle]

i have played before and gotten to the swamp multiple times and i can spot them easily but i havent found a single one yet

do they spawn more if i go closer to the edge of the map and find a swamp?

[willow raft]

Any swamp has the same amount of chance to spawn the turnip seed plants.

[orchid roost]

Hi there! Has anyone recently had issues with portals mass disconnecting? 4 of my portals are just unconnected now. I ran to one of them on the other end and could jump through it back to main though I appeared on the other side of our long house in the roof. I just restarted the server - it asked me to install pigz which I did. Second restart. Nothing changed. I can destroy the portals and build them somewhere else to no avail. I am currently the only one on this server so I don't really know what could have gone wrong 🫠 ah - no mods. All vanilla

[light parrot]

hey i lost my cart in the dark forest when i was getting attacked is there any quick way to find it or am i just gonna have to keep looking?

[thorn spire]

that's going to be tough to find. good luck.

[orchid roost]

It might also have been destroyed. But here... That's gonna be hard. That's why I build highways through the forests - mostly along the rivers 😅

[thorn spire]

Not usually. They're hard to spot and not very numerous. Keep your dvergr circlet on while you're in the swamp.

[willow raft]

A torch is also ok and I find the best times to spot them dawn or dusk, when the sun hits from a low angle.

[orchid roost]

They're the worst to find I swear

My buddy already ran through that swamp twice and I just walk to a crypt, looked left and there it was shining away

[willow raft]

Yeah it is frequently just down to luck and this playtrough we were extremely lucky the first swamp we get to and what is there at the edge of the swamp, turnip seeds, we hadn't taken 2 steps into the swamps and we had turnips.

[thorn spire]

I got so lucky this playthrough. I was sailing past a swamp while looking for Haldor and saw one all by itself on a bare spit of land right by the ocean. I hopped off my ship, grabbed it and kept going.

[narrow storm]

So I've finally gotten back to Valheim and entered the new ashlands.

While exploring the ruins, I tend to end up in the water, which will eventually kill me. (Something the game for some reason don't indicate will happen,)

So my problem is, it can be a pain in the tush to get back up onto something safe, including onto the grausten stairs that sticks down into the water.

This is currently the #1 way I die in the ashlands, so any tips on how to safely get back on land?

[near forum]

Thanks! How do you save the world locally? I guess that there is a folder within the game folders with that?

[iron quiver]

So i want to kind of spawn proof our area since in the red circle we got some tamed boars finally, drew the blue line what i thought is a good radius to try proofing but how do people usually do it?

[thorn spire]

if you're not putting down walls through that whole area, put down a bunch of campfires.

I'd recommend starting with workbenches so you can see the radius of effect, then swap them to campfires so nothing can destroy them.

[willow raft]

First you need to go in game or via steam and change the cloud save to local.
There should be a folder in "C:\Users**\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds"
There should be 2 files in there .db and .fwl.
Those need to be transferred and put in the same folder, the world should then appear in the world list in Valheim.

[iron quiver]

so any of the spawn proofing structures got the same radius of "protection" as a workbench? also not planning on walls aroud the blue atm, just dont want random greydwarf trying to attack my lil piggies,

this is a bit bigger picture of the area, how far do i need to place proofing to minimze them them wandering towards us? @thorn spire

[willow raft]

Quick and easy is like rudeman says, set workbenches so they overlap slightly and change them for campfires.
Nicer way, dig a hole, put a workbench in it, connect the workbench to something that you want to have visible, like a fence, sitting log, a tree, a rock ... then heighten the earth and bury the workbench and the beam.
Log out and log back in, sometimes the workbench or beam might break only with a relog, most of the times if you have buried it too much it will break and the wood will rise out of the ground.

[thorn spire]

your pigs are going to wander as well. I'd recommend putting down some stakewalls to keep your boars enclosed, then put your campfires outside that wall.

[iron quiver]

they are fenced in

[thorn spire]

if you want to keep enemies from wandering in completely, you probably need two rings of campfires outside their pen.

[willow raft]

Yes and no, they have the same radius as a workbench without upgrades, the workbench has a bigger radius with upgrades, the forge has a bigger radius than the workbench and with upgrades only gets bigger.

[willow raft]

Earthen walls, stakewalls or a moat or also a possibility.

[thorn spire]

That definitely works better. I usually use a moat and raised earth walls around a pretty big area in the meadows. I put my boar pen in the centre, then cultivate around it when I get to BF.

[opaque shoal]

is the ||flametal shield|| better than the carapace buckler? i know that blocking isnt a good idea in the ashlands but parrying works on most of the mobs and im not sure what to choose because buckler technically blocks more damage when i parry

[iron quiver]

i guess for now i think i will be satisfied with just preventing any potential damages to my tamed animal pen so surrounding that with stakes/moat doesnt sound bad and maybe some proofing closer to that than my whole area

[willow raft]

Bout the same, earthen wall, pigs in a pen, once we have a permanent base in plains, most things get shipped over and it gets changed into farm land and auto farms for animals.

[iron quiver]

is a perm base in plains ideal now with the 2 new biomes? last i played was on release up until me and my friend defeted moder

[compact heath]

you'll need a mist farm too but short answer is still yes

the ashlands crop grows in most biomes (not mountain etc)

and plains / bf / swamp crops do not grow in mistlands

bm is also nice to have for chests, there is no new flametal chest

[iron quiver]

alright, wanted to build an actual castle like base at some point anyways so was gonna rebuild/move and doing it in the plains doesnt sound half bad

[little escarp]

Has anyone had an issue where the battering ram won't break the fortress gate? I've tried 5 different fortresses and my ram doesn't do any damage to it. I have it fully loaded with wood and am aiming it in the right direction. the ram works. But it doesn't do anything to the door.

[compact heath]

mountains cool too if you don't want to farm, because you can stop drakes from sniping a bit now with *youknowwhatspoilermaybeetc"

or if you happy to always portal to farms I mean

having farming at least small space is great though for plains base, need carrots in mistlands etc

[thorn spire]

are you sure you're close enough? I haven't used a ram yet, but I've heard the range is pretty short.

[willow raft]

I still like it best yeah, can grow lots of crops, free blackmetal delivery to your door for extra chests if you need them, easy base defense with loxes outside your earthen wall or moat.

[frail cave]

im a mac user and new to the game i dont know much about this

[compact heath]

yes me too, but right now I m doing a self inflicted "minimum 1 base per biome" playthrough, currently building the mountain fortress, used devcommands to "resetknownitems" on an old character, much fun with higher skills haha

[long iron]

i went to the elders point and there is no altar tried to digg down also there is nothing

[thorn spire]

Have you visited the location before the Ashlands update? Undiscovered boss locations will have changed on your map.

If you haven't been there before, go find a Vegevisir again and look at it to get the updated location.

[little escarp]

yeah im right up against it taking damage from the spikes.

[willow raft]

My advice would be, try it our for a while, there is no better feeling in this game if you discover things yourself and are awed by the things you find or encounter.
Avoid spoilers, after you've played a while come back and ask questions that you want clarified.

[long iron]

what is vegevisir?

[willow raft]

A runestone with the bosslocation on that will put it on your map.£
The vegvisir for eikthyr is at spawn.

[thorn spire]

The red glowing stones that show you boss location.

[long iron]

okey

thanks

[orchid roost]

Man it works again after renaming both portals 🫠

[long iron]

those stones are in place where you spawn?

[orchid roost]

Only for the first boss. The other boss locations you find in dungeons

[willow raft]

yeah the circle of stones where you spawn is the place you will hang the heads of the bosses you slay.
There is also a vegvisir for Eikthyr there and the vegvisirs for other bosses can be found in structures of the biome the boss is in.

Blackforest boss vegvisir can be found in either towers or crypts.

[sharp brook]

hi, I just bought valheim for macos on app store. If this is allowed, is it possible to turn on cheats on single player mode? I haven't seen anything specific for macos since it just released yesterday

[thorn spire]

also stone ruins.

[willow raft]

Right I always forget about those.

[willow raft]

Probably.
If so, you need to add -console somewhere, might be that it needs to be in your shortcut or change the startup settings from the launcher you use.

[harsh sequoia]

seasonal items are accessible based on system/date time. if you want items from a particular season, change the date to match.

[sharp brook]

Thank you, but I have no clue how to do it. I'm so new to this kind of thing

[willow raft]

Right mouse the shortcut or how ever you get to the settings of a shortcut on mac os.
There you see what it start put -console behind it.

[sharp brook]

Oh, so I have to go to files of valheim? can I show screenshot?

like this?

[willow raft]

You need the properties of the shortcut you use to open the game.

[sharp brook]

like this?

oh

I'm so lost :/

[willow raft]

What does informationen show?

[sharp brook]

What exactly do I have to do I don't really understand what you meant with -console?

When I start the game there is no launcher, it just starts the game

[long sage]

is there any command to stop mob spawning

[willow raft]

You need to add -console as text to the launch line, in steam you add it to the startup option.
That enables the console which makes it possible to cheat in Valheim by opening the console and typing in commands.

[sharp brook]

Ok, thank you for the proper explanation. But unfortunately, when I start valheim it just starts immediately. There are no such launchers 😦

[stoic barn]

is there a way to launch an online server with friends without having to pay 3rd party?

[willow raft]

Do you use steam or GeForceNOW?

[long iron]

does it take alot to beat the elder?

[willow raft]

Buying a cheap pc or server and running one yourself?

[sharp brook]

No, it's on the Mac App Store. They released it officially for macos yesterday.

[molten dune]

no, vals first gatekeeper boss imo is the one after the elder, bring fire arrows tho

[long iron]

is bronze arrmor enough

[willow raft]

Not really finewood bow, enough fire arrows and you are set.
If you want melee you'll need some armor though and a decent weapon.

[willow raft]

yeah that will do.

[molten dune]

you'll be fine yeah, still use cover n don't take unnecessary damage

[long iron]

thanks bro

can i leave altar?

[willow raft]

Yeah, only needed to summon you can drag the elder all over the land it is on.

[long iron]

okey

[molten dune]

bosses in valheim don't despawn but regen health really slowly, so you can throw yourself at them a bit if you die and you can leave and try again later if you aren't equipped for it yet

idk the exact mechanics

[willow raft]

Is there a way to update startup settings in the app store?
For steam it works like this:
Right-click Valheim in the Steam library.
Select Properties.
In the General tab, look for the Launch Options field.
In it, type "-console".
Close the window.
Press F5 in-game to open the console window.

[frail cave]

TY, WILL TRY

[sharp brook]

the first 2 pictures i showed you and have no clue what to do im sorry 😦 thank you anyways, it looks like its not possible on macos :/

[willow raft]

It certainly is if you use steam or GeForceNow.
So I would think it should also be possible in another way.

[potent oxide]

Anyone know hyow to fix valheim lagspikes and low fps. Yesterday I ran at around 170 fps on full graphics. Today when I load up the game its at barely 60 and I get lagspikes / freezes every so 3-5 seconds

[willow raft]

https://youtu.be/6IBkMW39egU?si=JaWGSRpNNAqoVmFz

[long iron]

what do i do after i beat elder?

[potent oxide]

I tried that nothing changed

[potent oxide]

try to find a swamp and explore it.

[long iron]

so there is no big upgrades for me to do?

[opaque shoal]

did you launch the game with vulkan or turned on vsync?

[potent oxide]

I can try

[willow raft]

When you get to the swamp. You got a swamp key from the elder, that opens crypts where you will find iron which opens up new weapons, armor, upgrades for all the crafting stations and more.

[molten dune]

yes but the most immediate upgrades are gonna be in the swamp after you kill the elder

[potent oxide]

how do I launch vulkan

[opaque shoal]

when you click play on steam there is a choice

[potent oxide]

not for me. I think I once pressed always use option

nvm I fixed it

and why should vsync help. Should it be on ingame?

[opaque shoal]

what caused the problem

[potent oxide]

I have no idea. I just woke up went to explore ashlands and it lagged shit

[opaque shoal]

it depends, basically it limits fps to the hz you have in your monitor

[potent oxide]

ik what vsync is

[opaque shoal]

it can prevent some issues with fps being too high, in some games like dying light 2 i have an issue with my graphics card, if i have too high fps it starts doing weird sounds and game runs worse

it also depends on your pc etc.

[potent oxide]

ok

[opaque shoal]

ashlands is the most detailed biome thats why you had lower fps

view distance helps to increase them, lag spikes were happening because of the rendering

[potent oxide]

these are my settings. Anything I should do

[opaque shoal]

turn off depth of field, reduce vegetation quality to medium ( there isnt really too much difference in the game looks )

i dont like depth of field because it reduces fps and game looks weird

[potent oxide]

now im up top 94 with worse graphics then I had when I had around 170 fps

[opaque shoal]

did you have 170 fps in ashlands?

[opaque shoal]

because as i said before

[potent oxide]

yes'

[opaque shoal]

i have no idea whats wrong tbh, do you download something right now?

[potent oxide]

nope

[long iron]

when will i be able to build better ship?

[opaque shoal]

do you use nvidia geforce instant replay?

[potent oxide]

the only thing thats high on gpu is discord. Any idea of how I can lower it?

[opaque shoal]

turn off hardware acceleration in discord settings

[potent oxide]

it is off

[opaque shoal]

can you check your pc up time on the task manager? its in the cpu section, some people have an issue that even they turn off their pc it isnt really turned off and there is like 900 hours of the work time

[opaque shoal]

and theres the thing

[willow raft]

Karve in black forest, long boat in the swamps then you'll have to wait till you kill the queen for a new boat if I'm not mistaken.

[potent oxide]

how do I fix it

[opaque shoal]

give me a sec

go into windows settings, system, power and sleep, additional power settings on the right, click choose what power button does, there click the admin option that says change settings that are currently unavaible, then change theese option like i have ( im on windows 10 ) if you need any help add me to friends i will show you how to do it on stream

[potent oxide]

I found it

[opaque shoal]

then try to turn off the pc like you always do and check the uptime

if it doesnt help, check the integrity of the game files

also it could be a simple problem, like having alot of things open that are using your pc recources which causes less fps

also try this, it launches game in exclusive fullscreen mode which gives more fps

if all those things wont help i have no idea what causes the fps problem

[willow raft]

@potent oxide Other ways are unplugging it and pressing the power button to get rid of extra electricity or static build up.
Unplugging, opening up the pc and removing the little round battery is another way.

[long iron]

after what i will be able to build karve?

[undone spindle]

Is it possible for the side charred chests not to have gems? It got destroyed during the scuffle and i couldn't find any on the floor 😦

[slow orchid]

im pretty sure, yeah

[slow orchid]

bronze nails

[undone spindle]

What a bummer, those things really are a bottleneck

[slow orchid]

yep 😔

[worthy abyss]

Is anyone else not getting the magma fish to bite? i've spent over 5 minutes without a single nibble

[willow raft]

In the black forest after you made bronze nails, it should unlock. You also need deer hide, resin and firewood.

[worthy abyss]

no other fish so far has acted this way. I wonder if the new recipe bugged them out?

[last osprey]

pretty sure that's a known issue and on the list for the next patch

[worthy abyss]

is it the only bugged fish so far? the only one I haven't caught yet is the northern fish

[last osprey]

afaik

[undone spindle]

Is dundr meant to take blood gems? Would make more sense for lightning gem no?

[sharp brook]

I FINALLY FOUND IT! The cheat is already enabled ingame, all I had to do is to press "Enter" Key on my keyboard and write the commands. omg

[distant charm]

What is yalls fav load out to run in ashlands? Both 1 loadout with and without magic

[undone spindle]

full flametal (lightning) sword n board + poison ripper, then the same with staff of wild 😛

2hp 1 stam or 1hp 1 stam 1 eitr respectively

[neon osprey]

Hello, my friend owns the server we were playing on a while back and he no longer plays, is there a way he can transfer ownership to me?

[worthy abyss]

I agree. feels kinda weird

[undone spindle]

I mostly just have an excess of iolite that I no longer need and a shortage of bloodstone >.>

[sharp brook]

somehow cheat command doesn't work even though If I write /devcommands it shows true but the codes doesnt work

[true steeple]

You need to type the commands in the commands console, not chat

You also need to be the host of a world that is hosted in-game, not on a dedicated server

[sharp brook]

OHHHH I thought the chat was the command console, but why was it showing the /devcommands - true? And If I write /Stats it also shows though

[true steeple]

Some commands work there, but most need the command console

[sharp brook]

Oh my god, i was so happy I thought i made it work. I still have not found any solution for the mac version 😦

[true steeple]

Can't you open the command console the same way as windows?

[sharp brook]

I haven't even found how to put the -console somewhere

[true steeple]

It should be the same for windows on steam?

[sharp brook]

Well, I said for mac version

[reef flame]

What does heat resistance do? Ashlands doesn't damage me anyway so does anyone know?

[true steeple]

It increases the delay before boiling water and lava damage you

[reef flame]

Do you know by how much? Is it significant?

[true steeple]

Can you create a shortcut to valheim somehow? I didn't know if you owned it on steam or the app store

[sharp brook]

this only 😦

[true steeple]

Is there a menu where you can edit certain properties of the shortcut?

[sharp brook]

No, there is none. I can only access the contents like files etc.

[true steeple]

Try adding it after Valheim.app if you can change that

[sharp brook]

like this?

[true steeple]

Yes try that

then hit f5 once you're in

[sharp brook]

what the hell

it became this

[true steeple]

Change it back

[sharp brook]

now its just a file not a game lol

Ok it's back

so the .app is the game like a real app to open. If I add the -console it will overwrite it to a file like on the picture

[lilac coyote]

That's....yeah that's not going to work.

[fathom badge]

Yeah, that's because a .app is an application package on Mac. I'm not 100% on how you can add the console argument to that version just yet.

[lilac coyote]

Sounds like you'd need the equivalent of a batch file.

[fathom badge]

To enable the console in Valheim with the MacOS app store version, start the console app from your Launchpad and use this command: /Applications/Valheim.app/Contents/MacOS/Valheim -console

[sharp brook]

I duplicated it, and named it -console, somehow I can see ingame the FPS and process measurement. But I still can't open the command chat with f5

[lilac coyote]

Yes, you're just renaming the file. That won't work.

[sharp brook]

Yeah that's what I thought

[fathom badge]

Yeah. That's because what you duplicated is an app package. You need to add the command line argument to the executable when it's run. It might be possible with editing a .plist file inside the package, but again, I don't have that version so I can't check for specifics.

Try the command that I have highlighted in my post, you should be able to run the console app from your Launchpad and put it in there

[sharp brook]

any of these?

[long iron]

what is fermenter used for?

[sharp brook]

/Applications/Valheim.app/Contents/MacOS/Valheim -console YOU ARE A GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fathom badge]

Fermenting things. You get some various mead bases you can make at your cauldron that you can put in the fermenter.

[long iron]

so for food?

[fathom badge]

Meads give you various enhancements, they can be for healing, resisting elements, etc.

[sharp brook]

Thank you for helping me out and shoutout the @fathom badge for solving the mystery

[lilac coyote]

So can that like be added to a batch file? Rather than just being typed in terminal?

[fathom badge]

Yeah. You could just add that to a valheim.sh file anywhere and it should in theory work. Probably good to format it like:

/Applications/Valheim.app/Contents/MacOS/Valheim -console```

[lilac coyote]

Cool, thanks. Bet you can guess where that info is going.

[rigid sail]

is axe a real weapon ?

[serene tangle]

Yes, comparable to sword or club/mace

[distant charm]

What is yalls fav load out to run in ashlands? Both 1 loadout with and without magic

[gilded ridge]

which is better?

Iron Buckler or Banded sheild?

[true steeple]

I make the banded shield. Being able to block and parry is better than only parrying

[fathom badge]

Buckler takes more iron, but can block stronger attacks if you're good at parrying. Make sure you change the style if you choose banded, though 😉

[vague bay]

well, change the style if you care about that sort of thing

[serene tangle]

Simple: if you are good at parry, then the first. Otherwise the second.

[mint fog]

question on queen (mist) - if you open the vault and die/dont kill - does it stay open until you do? We have not had problems before, but just watching vids/worried we might not survive first time or two -- don't want to have to go find 9 more pieces each time. Just making sure before I venture in first time. Been putting it off. And off.

[last osprey]

it stays open. The sealbreaker doesn't get used up either.

[glad cove]

I am the admin on a dedicated server I rented. As far as I know, I need to have BepInEx installed to make most admin commands work. My question is, can I install BepInEx on a server without ruining our world/save? Will it effect anything?

[mint fog]

many thanks

[slow orchid]

how do i properly support grausten roofs?

[hollow citrus]

Does the Ask Armor attack stamina usage buff apply to bows and are bows considered as pierce damage?

[undone spindle]

Worth upgrading mistland staves or just stick to ashland ones?

[undone spindle]

Bows do the sum of bow listed damage + arrow listed damage

So primarily pierce + whatever extra damage type your arrow provides (frost arrows, fire arrows etc)

[primal dove]

Worth upgrading

Especially bubble staff

Upgrading gives you another.... minute?...Of time. Someone else can confirm that

[undone spindle]

Oh yeah thats a staple, i guess i was thinking more of fire and frost staff with that question. Does their dmg keep up with upgrades?

[crystal kiln]

half of ashlands is weak to ice and the ashlands firestaff and the mistlands one have similar dps

magic kinda primarily got sidegrades

[marble roost]

since when is half of Ashlands weak to ice????

[buoyant peak]

"Since I created my headcanon"

Only lava blobs, voltures and I think bonemaws are weak to ice

[marble roost]

And skelly trolls if we count those

[opal obsidian]

WTH I THOUGHT THERE WAS NO MOBS IN THE DEEP NORTH THIS DUDE JUST CAME OUT OF NO WHERE

[fathom badge]

What kinda mods are you using?

[buoyant peak]

You're literally showing mods in your screenshot

[opal obsidian]

QoL mods

[buoyant peak]

100% sure there's more than just that

[winged zenith]

how do I recruit players for my dedicated?

CTRL+Middle mouse is used to TP w K&M. Does anyone know how to do this w PS4 controller? Or if possible

[lapis hemlock]

Why does my server lag when a specific person enters?

[fringe sundial]

I am very confused as Valheim isn't on PS AFAIK. It is currently on PC, Xbox and Mac. But if you are running an emulator and it is mirroring a Xbox controller, just look at what each key combo is on both K+m vs controller.

[buoyant peak]

Valheim supports PS controller

[glad marsh]

anyone else encountering an issue where f12 no longger works for screenshots?
ive reset my controls but still nothing

[nocturne ermine]

Me and my friend are playing on Xbox gamepass and he cannot join me but i can join him is there any way to fix this

[fringe sundial]

Interesting, the default for the controller page is a Xbox controller. I have only once used a PS controller while on PC, and that was for darksouls. The k+m controls were poorly mapped and were not remapable

[fringe sundial]

Reset in game or steam? Might Wana check both.

[fringe sundial]

Not a issue I have head of so far. You might Wana try in the server help chat if you suspect it's server related or the Xbox help chat otherwise.

[compact finch]

whats the amount all your skills are reduced by upon death on normal difficulty? Ashlands has me all the way back at 20 rip. feels like a snowball effect though i know ppl say skills arent that useful since you cant get them back quickly

[fringe sundial]

I am fairly certain there is a table with the breakdown of each difficulty level in the wiki....

[marble roost]

5% of your total skill in each category

[fringe sundial]

the wiki header says the info is outdated, but its 5% on normal

[hollow citrus]

spending so much time to get your skill levels back from one death is painful

[fringe sundial]

5% at lvl70 is much worse than lvl40 (as an example) but regardless, a loss is hard.

[thorn spire]

and it's rounded up I think

I've lost five levels at 100 and also at 95.

[fringe sundial]

it may also be compounding/exponential because I highly doubt the exp needed to go from lvl4 to 5 is the same as lvl50 to 51. so ya, 5% hurts a fair bit.

[winged zenith]

can I tame a horse?

[hollow mantle]

There no horses (to my knowledge), but there are tameable mounts.

[thorn spire]

only if you have a mod, I'd say. No horses in Valheim

can I interest you in a giant lizard/ox hybrid as big as a pickup truck?

[hollow mantle]

Or a large green dog that will rip your face off if you try to tame it?

[thorn spire]

lol. Don't forget it's a six-eyed dog. isn't it?

[hollow mantle]

Man, I’ve never even had time to examine its anatomy!

[thorn spire]

Just 4. I've stared down a few Neck.

[winged zenith]

I love that

[hollow mantle]

lol, I’ve never even bothered to examine the anatomy of a Neck… they run at me… I kill them…. I eat their tails.

[thorn spire]

I usually use them to improve my blocking skill early game. I'll run down along the coast/river and gather a few, then spend the day blocking.

even a plain wooden shield and leather armor means no damage.

[hollow mantle]

I default to playing ranged characters…

[thorn spire]

me too, normally, but blocking is so useful when you get into swamp & sunken crypts.

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, if I were soloing I’d probably do more melee. But playing 3-player, and we’re well past the point where the swamp is any danger to me.

[winged zenith]

what if I ate the hit instead

[thorn spire]

you'll be tanking a lot of hits down there. if you're not overly prepared for the crypts, it can be quite a surprise.

[hollow mantle]

Oh I solo mined like 1000 iron from a swamp recently, so, yeah… no longer a problem… when we first went in one though… yeah… had our tank up front, me in the back…

[thorn spire]

exactly. I usually play solo, so I don't have a tank.

[quick tide]

How can i import any Valheim merch to South America? (I need that Frostner necklace SO BAD)

[marble roost]

Had to sneak by a 2 star soldier and 2 star seeker, but managed to get 5 black cores :)

other than buying it and hoping it gets though customs, there is always making friends in europe or the states and buying merch while "on vacation" visiting them.

Accept your death bro

[celest tapir]

exit game, use cheat codes and move yourself in

[honest summit]

You mean can't reach vertically? Stay there for a while until you get a wave high enough.

[marble roost]

Neither. I value speed much more than a minuscule eitr regen when going mage. I’ll usually use 0 eitr armor, sometimes one. I mostly use fenris or ||ask|| armor, also often putting on a heavy armor helmet but that’s just because I like going in melee along with my mage build

[quick tide]

Making friends and vacation was a bad Idea. But sending my purchase to some place in EUA and them they redirect It to me was what i have done now. Thanks!

[uncut mirage]

you don't need a cheat code.
restore your world or character from a backup (30min lost at most)
Or copy a backup or your world, rename it and load in.
Because its the same world, you location will change in both.
🙂

[ebon marsh]

Finally acquired the feather cape

[marble roost]

It’s a fun one

Especially paired with Ashlands shenanigans

[ebon marsh]

I think im gonna take a step back from mistlands and focus on building up a base, I’ve got a pretty nice slice if plains connected to my mistlands island with the queen a good 5 minute walk away

So far I’ve only died to the dvergr and gjall and it was either due to the rushing in or running out of stamina

It was well worth the deaths though for the extractors and rushing the feather cape

[hollow citrus]

How TF do you plant vineberries? I only have two chances left.

[fringe sundial]

They need a wall and cultivated soil. I have heard they are buggy, but there are a couple builds people have done in the building chat sections.

[uncut mirage]

they are currently bugged so they won't grow anyway
But basically, you just plant them next to a wall with soil

[molten dune]

Mark it on your map, gather mats for a raft

[somber juniper]

Does anyone know if I can increase the time that server broadcasts messages show?

[hollow mantle]

They grow, but fruiting hardly happens, and both growth and fruit can be reverted somehow (possibly linked to logging out and/or going through portals/out of range).

[hollow mantle]

Don’t plant them too close to the wall and have no overhangs. If you have one planted and it’s just not growing, try breaking and adjusting the position of the wall, and/or removing any overhangs.

[stray lantern]

Scott is correct, you can get them to grow on walls but there yield is very low. Your better of looking for pre generated structures in the Ashlands. You can get alot of vineberries and seeds from just one large structure

[weary remnant]

how to use commands

[marble roost]

If on steam: right click Valheim in steam, properties, somewhere in there you have to write -console

Start game (or restart), go in world, press f5, type dev commands. You can now use commands

Google it if hard to follow

[fleet dirge]

Hi

I was checking and i do not find the ||flametal buckler|| does it exist or its only the normal shield?

[primal dove]

Only normal

[potent oxide]

Anyone here who knows how to fix performance at bases

[red gazelle]

hey i have a question i can't repair my stuff i need to recraft armor ?

my bad forgot to replace the upgrade

[maiden schooner]

Xbox non dedicated Looking for someone who is proficient with a hoe. Need help leveling Will trade items or gold for work. Please and thanks.

[marble roost]

Only normal. Fully upgraded carapace shield parries better than upgraded flammetal shield

[grave rivet]

Which enchantment should I go on crossbow

and bow for that matter

jade makes the most sense but I see a lot of Iolites being used on them

[marble roost]

I highly recommend blood.

Blood isn't good on most weapons / hard to use, but nature and lightning are pretty bad on crossbow, and blood can potentially be super strong - strong enough to oneshot valks ;)

For crossbow ^

For bow, I'd say nature if you want to immobilize enemies and lightning if you want raw dps. Blood not as good on bow

[fleet dirge]

i don't want to go for etir

its boring T.T

[marble roost]

aight then don't, it's barely better anyways

I have heard a good amount of people complaining about the amount of flammetal in Ashlands, though I think that's mostly for multiplayer servers

Personally mistlands is my favorite biome 😅

[fleet dirge]

I did put nature on the bow and works fine for me since u will spam it more and have more chances to proc the passive so the crossbow doing a heavyhit would be nice with the blood passive

Don't get me wrong i like mistlands but just the biome not the fog and i only found like three titan skulls

[tough quarry]

Is Charcoal Resin renewable?

[dire hamlet]

charcoal infinite from surtling spawner and resin infinite from greydwarf spawner in black forest

[tough quarry]

Apologies, I mean 'Charcoal Resin', which is found when chopping trees in ashlands.

I tried making pots and turns out you do not get back the resin when you break them, so I am asking if they can be destroyed, can you make more?

[dire hamlet]

ohh i see, mb then - haven't been to ashlands yet 😅

[tough quarry]

Just keep it up my friend, Ashland was very hard when I landed by now I feel I got a good grip on it

what is happening

[marble roost]

You broke the matrix

[tough quarry]

You made Odin upset

[lethal burrow]

Anyone else having micro stuttering + desynced enemies in ashlands? Its really hard to play the game if I keep dying with this performance

[undone spindle]

Does trollstav quality affect unit damage?

[marble roost]

Not personally, but heard a lot of ppl complaining about performance issues

[marble roost]

Think it just increases trollstav durability, oddly enough

[hollow mantle]

Yes. When it gets busy.

[keen harness]

i have question

[marble roost]

Shoot

[keen harness]

so if i have workbenches - like a base - can i like keep mobs as pets?

[compact pilot]

he trapped a friggin serpant

[undone spindle]

Some animals are by design tamable, you'll see something like "Wild, frightened" when you hover your mouse over them when they're close. Then you gotta feed them whatever food they like

[marble roost]

Like you’re talking about if they’ll despawn or not?

[keen harness]

yeah

[undone spindle]

It depends if it spawned at night or in the daytime

[pearl mortar]

I think nighttime spawns despawn but otherwise you're good

[marble roost]

Most enemies never despawn. Some exceptions are some nighttime mobs

Serpent will despawn if it spawned at night. Won’t despawn if it spawned from a storm

[keen harness]

oh.... but i trapped it in a pond

[marble roost]

Very cool. I’ve done that too!

Just hope it wasn’t a night spawn

[pearl mortar]

I trapped golems next to moder so they wouldn't bother me

[keen harness]

i think it was a storm spawn. was definitely raining when i was sailing i think

[cosmic sphinx]

Is there an option to mute the game when alt+tabbed ?

[stone badger]

Hey builders, does anyone know why I can't stick stone 2x1 walls here? I'm trying to make a stone rim and it's allowed me to put it everywhere but these corners.

It's all on even ground, all connected properly, just not sure why.

[fringe sundial]

first question would be if the structure was showing red at the top

second would be "how is it being supported?" as corners are basically free floating.

[fringe sundial]

if it isn't red at the top(bad structural integrity), then its just a matter of support being under the corner pieces. you might get away with using the stone floor tile merged into the other wall/ceiling tiles.

oh, and we have building chat sections fyi: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202313747197345873 https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202310893757530142 https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608

[pearl shore]

does anyoone know how to get the seed

[fringe sundial]

depends on what you mean by seed. If you mean how do you find out what your world seed is, it is listed just before joining into a world close to the cloud icon and after selecting a charicter to play as.

[pearl shore]

no its all good i figured it out sry

[fringe sundial]

no worries.

[pearl shore]

or if someone knows what this is exactaly then tell me pls

i cant send pictures

[dusk stump]

I am not sure where else I would say this, so forgive my ignorance if it isnt correct. Has anyone else had the issue of jumping onto the flametal spires and just floating? Like cant do anything, stuck in a floating animation unable to jump or do anything?

[fringe sundial]

this is a known and unfortunate bug

[dusk stump]

Yikes, thank you Nevyn.O 😄 I just wanted to make sure it was not just me and that is was known

[pearl shore]

eh navyn look what i sent you

[fringe sundial]

I just responded.

[upbeat talon]

Do campfires have to be lit to limit mob spawns?

[thorn spire]

nope.

[plain geyser]

what name of the items that unlock fire and posion to your weapons?

[marble roost]

In Ashlands?

||You can apply electricity, poison, and “blood”, using gems that you find in fortresses||

[plain geyser]

yes

ok thank you

[compact heath]

Jade for Poison, Iolite for Ligthning and Blood Stone for Blood, you can not add fire damage

[azure rock]

Hey there!
I'm trying to join a friend's dedicated PC server, but I keep getting the below error message when I try to join. There are no mods on the server, and my partner who did a fresh install the same hour as mine was able to join the server with no issues.
I've tried swapping the betas, verifying the files, made sure auto-updates were on, and completely uninstalled/reinstalled the game with no luck.
Is there something else I'm missing to try and get this to work?

[dark fog]

This looks like the problem isnt on your end but rather the server side of things. i believe the server needs to be updated in order for you to join it since your account is on a more recent update.

[plain geyser]

thanks leng

what dwarf tip fragment is for?

[dark fog]

Sounds like you are talking about one of the pieces of the legendary flaming sword. There are 3 pieces needed to craft it. They come from the mysterious locations shown on your map

[plain geyser]

aw cool thanks TDubs my wife been try find out what they are for lolz

[obtuse quest]

why does the ashlands ||weapon root proc|| sometimes make enemies stop attacking entirely and not other times?

[weary remnant]

any tips to yaghlut?

[tired notch]

Because it's a 20% chance (or something close to that), the tooltip when you hover over the weapon should tell you that.

[obtuse quest]

hmmm... I see the proc go off (greenish glow around the mob and a root model) and that does not always cause the enemy to stop attacking

[tired notch]

That sounds like the Poison damage, proc will have roots forming around it and completely immobilizing the enemy.

[compact heath]

To fight Yagluth I recommend a) Use your best foods, either 2 health and 1 stamina or 1 health and 2 stamina, depending on playstyle, plains foods b) fire resistance barley wine c) silver sword level 4, d) start fight at morning and make sure you have cleared nearby lox herds, tar pits and fuling villages

[obtuse quest]

yes, that is what i meant when i typed "root model" - that does not always coincide the mob not attacking

[tired notch]

My bad, I didn't read that thoroughly. The wiki states

Weapons modified with the Jade gain 10 poison damage and their hit effect has a 20% to Immobilize the target for 10 seconds. Immobilized creature cannot move or change the direction that they are facing, but can still attack if they are facing a target within their range. Creatures that have movements that are part of their attack animations such as the Morgen can still perform these movements while immobilized.

Is it possible that you were facing the creature and within the range of its attack when it became immobilized?

[obtuse quest]

https://youtu.be/tmZC7JronCk?t=555

here's an example of what i mean. they proc root on the charred and knock it away. then they run up to it. and, even though its facing them and they are in range, it doesn't attack.

i see this pretty randomly using the klossen in my game. sometimes the proc goes off and the mob stops attacking until the proc wears off, regardless of whether or not im in range. other times they are rooted and will attack if im close enough

and to be clear im talking about the charred warrior in the link - not the morgen

[tired notch]

That's weird, the charred there should have attacked even after being immobilized. Looks like it may be a bug or just that the mechanic hasn't been completely ironed out. I'll definitely keep an eye out for that next time I get on.

[keen yarrow]

Do asksvins never stop moving when u ride them?

[supple panther]

You should be able to stop them from moving by pressing the control stick, or whatever key you use to move, in the opposite direction

They should first slow down, and then stop.

[steep steppe]

Is there a way to spawn in a Draugr Village manually?

[blazing otter]

Hi guys, I just run the game on a Xbox after 6months pause and went to Portal, after that realize this is portal to nowhere)) And lost all my stuff

looks like devs just change terrain for last Biom

[crude pier]

anyone know who that is?

[blazing otter]

The question is is it possible to get my dead body in the middle of sea?

[steep steppe]

||John Wick||

[steep steppe]

You could use devcommands to fly out and grab your stuff.
Z=Fly, so you can collect everything that way 😉
(in Debugmode)

[stark sleet]

for "setworldmodifier combat ___" is there value to use that will set it back to "Normal", trying normal or default dosent seem to change it

[quartz cairn]

yes, it was mentioned beforehand here https://valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands/

[buoyant peak]

They always attack.

If you're at the front

They just can't turn around to do so.

The idea is that you root them and then attack from sides or back

[main dust]

Tips on flatning my land am bronz age been playing fot a year still dont have a good way of doings this with out spending time chopping in to the land with a pickaxe

[slow orchid]

best way to farm/level elemental magic?

[marble roost]

Go Mountain. Dig hole. Push (harpoon) golem in hole. Shoot with ice staff (Golem take no freeze dmg, so can keep going)

Potentially build a hut near the golem so you can get the "resting" (not just "rested") effect while not shooting, to instantly regen eitr. Depends on how good golem is at agroing you

[slow orchid]

i see i see, ty!

[undone spindle]

Does ashland water hurt after a while? I see smoke coming out of character and orange screen outline but no damage? There's a strait id like to cross but don't want to risk

[merry shale]

ive been trying to follow the james chambers tutorial to modify send/receive limits but im not sure how to backup my world first

[merry shale]

i saw the guide he has about making a backup but i dont have a worlds folder so i was just confused

[marble roost]

Yes, it does

[steep steppe]

should see this under ...IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local
Under you user name

[boreal cobalt]

any way to get the drakkar into water when it's partially stuck on land? It seems to have gotten heavier in some update?

[merry shale]

i see a few texcache files, but thats not the same as i saw in the thing

[boreal cobalt]

in the game you have to switch your world from cloud to local

[steep steppe]

You on PC yeah?

[merry shale]

yeah

[steep steppe]

try this: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

This is all your worlds saved

[merry shale]

yeah thats where i see the texcache files

[boreal cobalt]

they need to have a local world

[merry shale]

how do i change it?

[boreal cobalt]

in game where you choose your character click "manage saves" and there you can do it

[merry shale]

and that wont break anything right?

[boreal cobalt]

no

it just saves your world on your pc, not in steam cloud

[merry shale]

alright

[boreal cobalt]

just don't lose that world folder

[steep steppe]

I always make a copy of it 😉

[merry shale]

yeah im about to back all that up, thanks for the help tho

[steep steppe]

BTW- there is also another couple folders in the Valheim directory too.
....Valheim\worlds
....Valheim\characters

etc.

[merry shale]

oh just 1 more thing, one file just says the world name and doesnt have the .db like it should is that a problem?

[steep steppe]

Yeah that is the actualy data, the .fwl file is the cfg for the info

should have same name, two one each, fwl. and db

[merry shale]

two of each? it only has one of each

[boreal cobalt]

one

[steep steppe]

Namefile.fwl + Namefile.db

sorry,early hours for me, should be asleep

[merry shale]

ah my bad

[drowsy bane]

Anyone have an up to date tier list for weapon types at mid-late game? Im using mace at the moment. Just beat Biomass. I would, however, like to try another weapon type. But I also hear that pierce is highly resisted in late game still.

Also, I would like to stick to using shield too

[mint moss]

Anyone having issues catching Magma Fish in the Ashlands? They are not biting or rejecting the Hot fishing bait, just simply swimming around it over and over.

[lilac coyote]

Fixed in the current PTB patch so coming soon.

[merry shale]

is there a way to make less mobs spawn in the ashlands? the sheer amount of mobs spawning makes the biome kind of unfun

we clear out like 20 and then 6 asksvins chase us

[lilac coyote]

Well, you can also use spawn suppression like in any other biome.

[fringe sundial]

You would be relegated to swords,knives, axes or flesh rippers from the mountains or other slashing damage types if you are avoiding blunt (because that's what you main'd till now) and piercing. There are likely other weapons, but those are the main types.

[merry shale]

how do i do that

[fringe sundial]

Most base building items suppress spawn rates. People will often use work benches or camp fires(they don't need to stay lit to suppress spawning).
