[steel thorn]

people tend to just use that farming mod anyway

[hollow mantle]

Trees are worse

[steep tusk]

People [who mod, and only people who mod] tend to just use that farming mod anyway.*

FTFY. 💛

[lilac coyote]

I'll never understand the logic of 'it must be easy to implement X therefore I don't understand why they don't impement X'

[buoyant peak]

Most people are simply often clueless on anything regarding software development 🤷

[steel thorn]

its more about whats intuitive than whats easy

[steep tusk]

Like everything in Valheim, the more you do it, the better you get at it.

Eventually you will not even think about spacing because you just do it automatically from memory.

[buoyant peak]

I'm sure they're aware of what is easy and what is not. But that isn't the sole factor on whether something is implemented or not.

Are they interested in doing it? It's time and possibly resources spent on it after all, is it worth doing it over plenty of other things that are equally or even more important? Hmmmmm...

[steel thorn]

Don't think anyone even mentioned difficulty one way or another.
Thankfully though, you just plant them and they grow. No need to water the little shits

[steep tusk]

CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!?

😭

[steel thorn]

I can and it's the bad timeline

[toxic mural]

I can't find the rune to find mountain boss. Any tip?

[worldly sleet]

mountain cave dungeons

[toxic mural]

I've been in at least ten of them and have found nothing 😦

[toxic mural]

I've been in at least ten of them and have found nothing 😦

[worldly sleet]

they can also spawn by the big ruined towers

best bet is just wait for a clear day, summit a mountain and pray. The arena itself is pretty easy to spot. If u cant be arsed searching anymore, valheim map gen is always an option

[toxic mural]

Omg, finally found it! Thank you for your support 🥹

[odd rover]

Is there no one who can help me

[buoyant peak]

#xbox-bugs-discussion Might be a better place

[odd rover]

Oh okay I'm just trying to get help sorry @buoyant peak

[tawny ledge]

hey so my friend jsut got the game and he cant connect to our dedicated server , says failed to conenct each time

[fringe sundial]

If you haven't asked here yet: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 you might get a more indepth answer.
The short answer is: it could be a bunch of things and would need some troubleshooting to figure out what the issue is.

[tawny ledge]

yeah look works for me fine and other friend , we flushed dns , changed default dns all that etc

[fringe sundial]

Tried using a proxy/VPN?

[tawny ledge]

goin to try now , its nothing to do with him buying the game 20 min ago right ?

[fringe sundial]

Doubt it.

If you are running mods, make sure they have the same ones/all of them.

Oh, and check they have the same game version number.

[tawny ledge]

yeah have none

[cloud sky]

is there a mod that allows u to build in dungens
?

[sullen tide]

going mage for the first time: do people usually go with 2 eitr foods?

[steep tusk]

While leveling the skills I would say you are required to, just because everything costs you so much in the beginning.

[buoyant peak]

Yes, Valheim:

devcommands > ||DungeonBuild||

[worldly sleet]

how does one get unstuck from the seafloor

tp commands and debugmode flight do nothing

[Error : Unity Log] NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Stack trace:
Floating.CustomFixedUpdate

this is being permaspammed by my bepinex window

[fringe sundial]

You could try the "die" command and see if that returns you to default spawn, otherwise you might have to remove all mods and try the "goto" command.

[quartz cairn]

console commands will work in vanilla. you have one (or several mods) interfering with the console.

[sullen tide]

man ticks destroy you as a mage

also having more trouble with targetting than usual

[shy bronze]

My friend on steam is only on update 0.218.15 but mines on 0.218.17 (Xbox) and apparently he has no updates? Is there any way to fix this.

[grim tide]

heyo, is there a dev command that turns off fuel usage on torches? my builds use a crazy amount, and id allow myself to cheat if this was an option

[buoyant peak]

No

[ember prawn]

no devcommand, just mods

[vital olive]

can a troll cave spawn with no troll in it?

[lilac coyote]

Yep.

[drowsy bane]

Is there a way to add flowers specificly? I try adding grass, but it seems wether a flower appears or not, in that particular cell, is predetermined?

[digital pelican]

what's the ID for monument of torment?

[split moon]

players often use vegetable seeds as flowers to decorate :/

[shy shard]

||Dodge roll will instantly unattach all ticks from you||

[drowsy bane]

@split moon Darn

[shy shard]

Flowers are predetermined

But seeds plants such as carrot seeds / onion seeds / turnip seeds are a good option as mentioned before

[fringe sundial]

you might also be able to "plant" dandelions using devcommands...haven't tried it before but I imagine, like berry bushes, it would be possible.

I have also seen people use the brute trophy for the flower it has (on an item stand).

[sullen tide]

thank you!

[digital pelican]

fireball your feet, the aoe's big enough

[vast belfry]

anytime i click play on my character it trys to auto connect to the last server i was on ( the server is no longer up and i have deleted it from my favorits list) is there a way to stop this so i goes to my single player map selection over trying to connect to a dead server?

[vital olive]

is there a way to un pathen ground

[true steeple]

Craft a cultivator from bronze and core wood to place grass

[vital olive]

thanks

[steep tusk]

Valheim, where you not only touch grass, you place it. 😉

[silver elbow]

Need help pltaking out yag

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword + Fire Resist Mead

[compact heath]

I'm not at PC, but yeah what was said before: Silver Sword Level 4 and Shield Level 3, Fire Resist Barley Wine, Food Serpent Stew or Lox Pie and Blood Pudding / Bread is what I went with, can go either 2 stam 1 health or 1 stam 2 health whatever you prefer (hope you cleared villages and tar pits around the spawn) - during the fight its a good idea to hide near the pillars when he does meteors, the pillars will get somewhat destroyed during the fight - Yag is imo quite a bit easier then the boss after him, but a little more difficult than Moder GOOD LUCK

[proper shoal]

still need help?

[silver elbow]

Yea

[proper shoal]

I can hop on, dms?

[bitter niche]

Hey guys are passive fish farms still possible? I'm seeing some extremely conflicting information online. I wanted to build a traditional weir but it doesn't seem to be working.

[compact heath]

I think it should still be possible as I believe non of the things that make it possible have been changed, its very difficult thing to do though imo in general, I have watched some videos but never bothered with it yet

[sleek yoke]

does the troll that spawns outside a troll cave respawn?

[compact heath]

unsure if there is actually a troll that is on purpose tied to the cave but outside, great question. The actual troll inside the cave does not respawn, so if the troll is "supposed to be" the same one as the cave I would say no. But this might also not be the case and there is just a random troll spawn point nearby often by troll caves anyway which does do respawns, this is the more likely explanation to me at least (have not confirmed or tested any of this)

[mild snow]

hello, ive had an issue with just valheim since like, day one of playing but i always just dealt with it but at this point, im not sure what to do. when i start sailing or fighting a boss like yagluth, my microphone will straight up stop working until i unplug it and plug it back in. its connected to a powered usb hub so its not a power issue, ive made sure my microphone is my main communication device in control panel. not sure what it could be, was hoping someone might know if its valheim since its the only game i experience this or smth up with my pc

[compact heath]

Now that I think of it, this has happened to me a few times too, though not that much recently. I have never tied it to Valheim specifically, or a special action in Valheim. (This is the only game I have played for the last 6 months or so) Sorry I cannot help in any way, no idea.

[mild snow]

its all good, i hope i can figure it out someday, been playing since launch on and off but never figured it out despite hours of troubleshooting and i can never find any info online about it, idk why i never stopped by in here though lol

[lilac coyote]

There is. There's a potential one time spawn both inside and outside of a troll cave.

[compact heath]

good to know, that means the outside and inside ones also behave the same and makes it feel like the troll sometimes leaves the cave to go on adventures in a way haha

like the real life trolls they have in scandinavia that totally are everywhere in the mountains there! right! xD

[open coyote]

when you have cold resist from wolf chest or fenris chest, is that the same as taking half cold damage? I only ask because I don't see a buff equipped

[turbid helm]

you dont take damage from when its freezing in the mountains

[open coyote]

so wearing that doesn't reduce cold damage, and I should drink a frost resist potion if I expect to get hit by ice magic?

[steep tusk]

Wearing it is like permanently having the potion.

[worldly sleet]

i should have explained more, tp does work, as well as debug flight, but not for this. Using tp moves me to that location but im still unable to move and stuck under the map, even if i set the y coords to 200. And flight just does nothing as my character cant move

[open coyote]

do dvergir go invisible like d&d? or am i experiencing a bug? fort of dvergir are all invisible, seekers are attacking invisible guys and not doing damage

[compact heath]

they are not meant to go invisible

[willow raft]

Is there a way to quickly select a build piece that you have already used?
Like a combination of keys while pointing at a build piece to select it again.

[open coyote]

shift middle click (if that's what you mean()

[willow raft]

Hopefully, I'll try it this evening and report back.

[mystic solar]

The bug you're getting might well be from a mod. I'd remove all mods, then use devcommand - goto to get back onto the world.

[bold mural]

Hey guys, I came here for help/advice, I'm running a rented server and I'm the only admin on the server, however I've noticed that some of the players on my server are building almost like they are in creative mode, like they have infinite resources on them, they can build massive structures and never seem to run out of resources they have no chests in their building vicinity. I also caught the one guy repairing a stone structure with no stonecutter in the area, when I tried to repair the same building I get a message saying that I need a stonecutter nearby, then this player can repair the whole building without the stonecutter nearby.

I'm a bit confused as how they are able to do this without having admin rights, and how can I prevent stuff like this happening on my server?

Also I'm running a completely vanilla server.

[dawn gate]

Greetings, is there a mod where i can sort out the cauldron, finding foods is pretty aids, i want my main foods to be close to each other so i can craft them faster instead of scrolling until i find them

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[shy shard]

I agree that having search & sort features in Vanilla could be handy though, at some point some workstations just have too many recipes

[steep tusk]

I have a strong suspicion it is one of those "we know how we want to fix it, but it will be simpler to do it once all items are in the game."

[willow raft]

I advice having a few chests in your kitchen where you put in the ingredients needed for a specific food you want to make in the correct quantities, always leave at least enough for 1 so you know what to add in which quantities.

This way you can go to the chest take out the needed ingredients, go to the cauldron and the food will be at the top.

[plush rapids]

You need an anti-cheat mod and server characters mod otherwise they can bring in whatever, the guy in question is cheating by removing the crafting requirements

I dont think the mods will help, you just have to ban him

[chrome ridge]

Any1 could help solve this problem??

[plush rapids]

it tells you the error, not compatible with valheim plus

[vivid sorrel]

hi i been to trader and i unlocked some locations like sealed tower , smouldering tomb , howling cavern can i fight them or i need to go more in the game?

[finite sorrel]

Depends what biome you’re up to really as they are in 3 different ones

[willow raft]

They are quite challenging, they can be done with the gear from the biome they are in but be careful they have some tough mobs in there and quite densely packed normal mobs as well.

[finite sorrel]

Yeah much easier if you are a biome above each of them

[vivid sorrel]

yeah i havent done 3 thboss

so i probably cant fight any

[compact heath]

if you killed elder you could do the tomb, will be a challenge though

[chrome ridge]

Do do i have to JUST delete those mods? I liked them ://

[verbal wave]

Does anyone know a good mod that can filter you workbench, forge etc. I run a couple extra weapons armor mods and the list is so long it difficult to find things you want to make.

[quartz cairn]

f.e. https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Azumatt/AAA_Crafting/ check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[willow raft]

#mods-discussion Would be the place for that.

[steel thorn]

are tower shields mostly for blocking larger attacks like troll slams?

[steep tusk]

Tower Shields are for "I want to be extremely slow for no benefit whatsoever"

[steel thorn]

lmao

[willow raft]

Not really, they give more armor and are good for just blocking, not needing to worry about parry and the like.
The larger attacks are actually easier to block with a buckler if you get the timing right, since the block armor is usually higher.

[steep tusk]

Except their additional armor is "barely any" and they outright lose to parrying from normal shields.

[willow raft]

True.

[steel thorn]

i find that bizarre... had no intention of using one but was just curious.

[steep tusk]

Not to mention they make you slow as fuck when using them.

[willow raft]

They are there for people that can't bother or just are bad at parrying but want a shield none the less.

[steep tusk]

That's what normal shields are for 😉

[willow raft]

Can still parry with those and have slight less armor.

[steep tusk]

Exactly.

They do just fine at normal blocking for people who cannot be bothered, and WITHOUT the massive speed penalty.

And if you feel like trying, you have the option to attempt a parry.

[vivid sorrel]

guys is there a way to go under water? i just killed water snake and his loot fell down in the water

[primal bridge]

If its possible to raise the land there, that's the easiest way

[vivid sorrel]

you mean with the item?

[primal bridge]

using a hoe to raise the land

[vivid sorrel]

yeah thx i will try

[primal bridge]

There are other methods for getting under the water but they're all a lot of effort and buggy that I wouldnt recommend. Best way to get sepeant loot is to use a harpoon

[vivid sorrel]

im not that experineced into game i didnt even kill the 3rd boss

i was just going with my loot from swamps and it appeared behind i just killed it with a bow i got his meat but anything else felt down the water

[primal bridge]

For me the meat is the most useful loot, if you want the other stuff then I'd suggest getting a harpoon and purposefully going serpeant hunting

[vivid sorrel]

but i mean i wasnt ready for serpeant didnt even want to fight him he just appeared

[vivid sorrel]

btw can i kill kraken because idk if he is killable

[primal bridge]

You can mine the barnacles on the leviathans

[vivid sorrel]

but can i kill them ?

[primal bridge]

No

[vivid sorrel]

isnt there something like kraken?

i know there are not only serpeant but more ocean monsters that are op

[primal bridge]

Maybe you know more than me, I've not read the most recent patch notes

[vivid sorrel]

i mean i dont im new and i want to know what can lurk in the ocean to kill me

[willow raft]

@vivid sorrel If you don't mind using devcommands, you can turn on debugmode and fly and go under water like that.

[vivid sorrel]

i dont use commands

[willow raft]

Than the only way to get the loot is either raising the floor or building high and diving down.
Both have a sort of maximum amount you can bring up or dive down though.

[buoyant peak]

No

[vivid sorrel]

so what is the like land in water that u can go and there are some ores'

[near monolith]

how do i prevent mobs spawning in my base area?

[vivid sorrel]

place torches

[near monolith]

they need to be refilled with resin?

[vivid sorrel]

yeah they need to be refilled with wood sometimes

[near monolith]

isnt there another way?

[vivid sorrel]

idk i just did my base used the big walls put torches in my home and nothing ever spawned

[near monolith]

alright

[vivid sorrel]

just use some stakewalls

[vagrant bobcat]

Workbenches, campfires and other stuff... its all on valheim wiki

Or youtube

[gritty basalt]

are ashvines fixed? they grow so slow

[willow raft]

Use any playerbase structure: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base
They restrict spawning in a 20 meter cylinder.
So I would build earthen walls and use for example torches or campfires (they don't need to be lit to stop spawning).

You could also dig a hole, put a workbench in, put something nice that you want people to see on the ground connect the workbench and the for example sitting log by a beam or corewood beam and fill in the hole and hide the workbench and the beam underground for a nicer looking method.

[dawn gate]

Oh, a kitchen, i have a whole chaotic mess in my one room in my base LOL

[steep tusk]

Oh my back hurts just thinking about that lowered cauldron... 😭

[dawn gate]

XDDD

[steep tusk]

Also why is there a hot tub IN THE KITCHEN?

[dawn gate]

I literally never made a kitchen, i stuffed everything in a room

[steep tusk]

😭

More pain.

[dawn gate]

This base is so huge my 3060ti is dying

[true steeple]

If a base doesn’t lag it isn’t big enough

[dawn gate]

i'm 120 fps capped all the time if i'm away from main base

probably around 10-20 fps base

I also did a driver reinstall and my fps is still shit in base, i would assume the chests is the sole reason for the lag, its like that in minecraft, too many items in chests loaded at once, guess ill make many bases

[willow raft]

Fires are also killer for fps.

[dawn gate]

only 3 fires in the entire place

[willow raft]

Well maybe I should rephrase: anything that makes smoke, like the 6 killns I can see.
Torches and the like.

[dawn gate]

Yeah, got almost nothing like that around

[steep tusk]

That's so many portals...

[willow raft]

That's nothing.

[buoyant peak]

No

[near monolith]

i dont have evry portal right here

still aint that much

[steep tusk]

7 more than I would ever build in 1 location 🤷‍♂️

[near monolith]

why?

if they get destroyed or what?

[buoyant peak]

To prevent spawns no

[steep tusk]

Why do you need more than 1 at location?
You can only ever walk through 1 at a time. So just rename it to wherever you are going. 🤷‍♂️

[near monolith]

sound tideous

[steep tusk]

If typing 8 characters is "tedious", need to lay off the instant-gratification, everything-right-now TikTok juice for a while imo.

[near monolith]

cant bring that tiktok argument if i farmed for every portal

[quartz cairn]

thank god everyone can choose their own playstyle.

[near monolith]

also had situations where having 2 portals always connected saved my butt

[steep tusk]

2 is less than 8.

[near monolith]

wdym?

[steep tusk]

Just build 2 then?

[near monolith]

you dont know what i mean

[willow raft]

We always have a ton of portals in our main base:

• a blank portal
• a portal to the start of the sap portal chain
• same for infested mines portal chain.
• One to the shroom farm.
• one to the old base that has been converted to auto breeder and storage spot
• one to the vegetable farm
• one that gets renamed for bosses
• one to another portal hub that connects to abandoned forward bases and other points of interest that we don't need to visit often.

We use that many portals since it does save time even if all the portals you use only have 1 letter it is still quicker to just run through than pause change the letter and go

[steep tusk]

Not allowed. Everyone has to play the way Munin does. 😉😁

[steel thorn]

portal hubs are a thing

[steep tusk]

Lies.

No one ever builds them. Clearly. 😉😁

[steel thorn]

so is carrot soup just a horrendous waste of carrots?

[willow raft]

Yes and no, it takes a lot of carrots but they are easily farmable.

[steel thorn]

gotcha

[steep tusk]

Not in any capacity.

Should always be one of your stamina food slots until you upgrade to Turnip Stew.

[steel thorn]

good to know, just was weighing it against queen's jelly which seemed about the same but easier to make

[willow raft]

It seems easier but it isn't.
You need to go out and find strawberries and blueberries which means running around in the meadows and black forest.
For carrots you jsut take a piece of land close by your base, flatten it with the hoe, grab the cultivator and cultivate that land and plant the carrot seeds you can find in the black forest.
Those carrots get replanted into seed carrots which give 3 seeds, you keep doing that till you have like 100 seeds, plant them all, keep 66 carrots to cook with and replant the 34 seeds for another 100 seeds and keep on going, the excess seeds are kept for if something goes wrong with the carrots or as food for an animal you can have later in the game.

[dawn gate]

I have like 20 at my base

Need them to teleport loot

But you're right, ill just remove them and make notepad istead

[plush rapids]

or remove valheim plus

[dawn gate]

I'm honestly about to quit and play another game if i can't figure out why i have 10 fps in my base and like 200 normally

[solar badger]

Re: Vineberries, for those struggling, a tip:

Vineberry growth where you are, or return regularly, is bugged, slow, and resets. Vineberry growth in other places still works fairly well though. So you have two options.

1: set up a portal on a large natural Ashlands ruin and teleport there every 3 or so in-game days to collect them all. Downside to this is those ruins are huge and it can be annoying to get to the ones that grow at the bottom.

2. Create a low, wide series of walls that extend a long way horizontally but only ~8 meters vertically in a location such as a farm or a new base that you don't regularly visit and plant vines there. Again, return roughly every 3 in game days and then run around and wait a few minutes and all the berries will regrow quickly while you are there.

I tried method two with my old meadows farm and sit works great. Lined my stake walls with berries, covered the barn walls, and made a new 32m x 8m grausten wall that is covered in berries too.

I get around 50 Vineberries per visit

[solar badger]

Instances

The more you build the more instances are loaded and the more the game and your frame rate bog down. It's a known problem with the game, not your computer. The larger and more complex the builds, the bigger the performance hit.

[mystic solar]

Look at the stickied pins in this channel, there is a video linked with a lot of good tips on how to improve fps in Valheim.
If you are lagging in a base, main culprits tend to be :

• too many instances over all
• too many lights
• too many tamed animals nearby

Generally Valheim is relying more on cpu than gpu power.

[turbid helm]

which raid is this

[digital pelican]

bats

[turbid helm]

got it

[fringe sundial]

The flying leather spawn.😋

[loud linden]

Just hope that Uncle Roger isn't passing judgement.

[lilac coyote]

Because he's Chinese?

[loud linden]

Probably more because you didn't add MSG to your cauldron.

[neat mortar]

Hey. Is there a way to fully avoid ticks? I had no clue they are in game and just met them and they make md extremely afraid(phobia). I play on xbox so i cant mod them out, am i just locked out of mistlands if i cant handle them?

[loud linden]

You can 100% avoid them by not going into Mistlands.

[neat mortar]

But then im also locked out of ashlands, right?

[lilac coyote]

That's not really a great solution.

[turbid helm]

yesnt

idk if i can spoil it

[loud linden]

I wasn't asked for a good solution. The question was "is there a way to fully avoid ticks?", and there definitely is.

[neat mortar]

Is 'just dont be afraid' going to be your next solution? Lol

[lilac coyote]

Could be worse. We could still have spiders.

[loud linden]

Ticks are actually really manageable. They're real scary on the first encounter, but you can dodge-roll to remove them, block them, and with a little practice, you'll be just destroying them on their jump.

[turbid helm]

do you want the spoiiler?

[neat mortar]

Yes please

[lilac coyote]

Again, not really the point if we're talking phobias.

[neat mortar]

Still? Yikes

[loud linden]

The best way to avoid phobias is to be rational.

[neat mortar]

Yeah, im not afraid of their damage but rather looks

[turbid helm]

when you defeat the boss in the mistlands (queen) i think you get something to upgrade the artisan table to make the thing required to make the ship that can handle going to ashlands

[lilac coyote]

You can be such a jerk.

[turbid helm]

bc the longship cant

[fringe sundial]

You could look for a mod that changes the appearance...

[neat mortar]

So id still need to find boss location and explore a bit for upgrades sadly

[fringe sundial]

Ah

[loud linden]

I'm really not. You've just yet to realise 90% of everything I say is said in jest.

[turbid helm]

yep and not to be that person but the boss vegvisir is in the ||infested mines||

[neat mortar]

By the name of it, is it full of ticks?

[turbid helm]

yep and seekers

[neat mortar]

Those floating things?

[turbid helm]

cockroach things

[fringe sundial]

Gjall are the floating, fireball spitting things

[lilac coyote]

I fail to see how you could think that was funny. Especially to someone with a genuine phobia.

[neat mortar]

Those are fine at least

Seems like my best option is to zoom out as much as i can

[turbid helm]

is this your first time in the mistlands?

[neat mortar]

Do ticks spawn randomly in mistlands or something spawns them?

Yeah, first time playing as well

[turbid helm]

||infested mines|| and ||gjalls||

[fringe sundial]

Oh, if Xbox has developer console available, you could spawn the key, fly to the queen and just skip the majority of the biome...but that would be kinda extreme just to avoid the ticks.

[drowsy bane]

How would blackmetal sword do in mistlands? Im trying to do a playthrough, without using mace

[turbid helm]

make a stagbreaker (upgrade might be required) and if needed use it to kill them if grouped if you have to

[neat mortar]

Hmm, so if i can avoid second thing. I could avoid some of them on the surface

[loud linden]

Anyone with a genuine phobia of ticks should probably avoid checklists.

[turbid helm]

yes

[neat mortar]

Would it kill them fast? Using blackmetal sword atm

[turbid helm]

blackmetal sword does kill them one shot but it doesnt to area damage

depending on your situation there will be atleast 2 on you

[neat mortar]

And stag is good for the aoe? Even if the ticks are attached to me?

[turbid helm]

depends if they are on the upper back

but yes

[neat mortar]

Right, thanks. I hope ill get trough this somehow

[turbid helm]

dont die

[fringe sundial]

There are a couple 2 hand hammers but stagbreaker is the lowest stamina.

[turbid helm]

how much|| sap|| can 1 ||soft tissue|| process

[tired notch]

Unfortunately, there's no way to completely avoid them unless you steer clear of the Mistlands. Here are some tips: Collect resources from the infested mines and then stay out. If you hear a G'jall sound, try to avoid it. Use a sledge to hit the ground when you see ribcages and skulls, as this indicates ticks are nearby. Lastly, defeating the Mistlands boss causes ticks to appear in Meadows, Black Forest, Mountains, and Plains at night, so make sure to sleep.

[steel gulch]

how to light up the inside of my base without dying from smoke?

[lilac coyote]

Make sure the smoke has somewhere to go.

[tired notch]

Vent the smoke out, you'll need to have a fire for cooking food anyway.

[steel gulch]

isnt good visually to have 6 chimneys in my base

[lilac coyote]

You won't need 6.

[steel gulch]

its a pretty big base, and now I'm trying to figure out how to make the roof

is there a way u can ride a lox?

[fringe sundial]

If you tame one, you can put a saddle on it.

[ashen inlet]

do u know how i can get a saddle?

[fringe sundial]

Should be in the wiki....

[ashen inlet]

sorrry im new thanks for the help tho

[fringe sundial]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Lox_saddle?so=search

It's a good info resource for everything up to mistlands and (currently) has a fair amount of info on the ashlands.

[ashen inlet]

sweet! thank you so much

[fringe sundial]

No problem. I'm reasonably well versed in the game, but by no measure the best out there.

[vagrant bobcat]

Torches?

[steel gulch]

wait, do only campfires make smoke in this?

[fringe sundial]

All fires do but torches are very little by comparison.

[steel gulch]

its a big base so I need alot of torches
i dont even know what I'm gonna do about the roof

[fringe sundial]

Hearths, campfires, bonfires and braziers all create much more smoke.

[steel gulch]

is there lanterns that make little, if any smoke?

[winged zenith]

What about a Lambo Horse?

[fringe sundial]

The mistland wisp torches and dvger lanterns don't make smoke. There are also other options.

The dvergr headlamp you can buy from haldor can be used as a lightsource.

Along with any trophy that glows (like surtlings).

[shrewd sedge]

The lox? Yes - just feed them cludberries, barley or flax and wait

[sullen tide]

how do you survive in the ashlands as a mage?

[fringe sundial]

Bubble always. Strike from a distance and know when to run.

[sullen tide]

you can't damage warriors

[steep tusk]

By hitting the gym and fighting like a viking until you can upgrade to Ashlands-tier magic.

[winged zenith]

cloud* and I wouldn’t call them Lambo cause they are pretty slow

[steep tusk]

Clout* berries.
Lox love their YT and Twitch channels. 😏

[sullen tide]

now that's some bad scaling

[steep tusk]

No? Lol

[sullen tide]

thanks, will do that, seems impossible otherwise; when playing with mistwalker it was fine

[steep tusk]

Mistwalker being uncontested BiS is a bit dumb, I'll agree to that.

But every biome sucks until you upgrade that the new gear tier.

[sullen tide]

oh, that's not true

I've often skipped 1 biome; I've had no problem with the black iron sword in mistlands for instance or the iron mace in the mountains

[steep tusk]

Neither of those is about magic though 😉

[sullen tide]

exactly, they've borked the transition there

[steep tusk]

I will disagree that Mistlands is perfectly fine prior to upgrade.

Drop into a mine with only blackmetal and the density of starred seekers will wreck faces until you get yourself a Mistwalker or Himmin Afl.

But this is post-nerf Mistlands too. So it is easier.

Guess post-nerf Ashlands will allow the same thing.

Can't wait for post-nerf Deep North... 🙁

[sullen tide]

how is magic once you acquire ashlands gear btw?

[winged zenith]

No cap that’s why I feed mine every 48 hours

[steep tusk]

Troll conquers all from what I hear.

[sullen tide]

at least looking at the stats, you're still oneshot

without the bubble ofc

[steep tusk]

I mean, if you were a tanky mage, that would be broken AF, no?

[sullen tide]

dunno, felt pretty tanky in mistlands

in fact it seemed way superior to melee

[steep tusk]

Tbf, first encounters of new features are usually tuned to be slightly OP to increase player engagement.

[winged zenith]

Naur love conquers all get the quote right dear and stay off the shrooms I told you not to take anymore passed bedtime. Hold my beer.🍺 The bees are in fact happy!👹

[steep tusk]

Beer? In Valheim?

BEER?!?!?

[winged zenith]

Mead love mead same difference

[steep tusk]

🚶‍♂️

[fringe sundial]

I mean, there is barley wine...🍷

[steep tusk]

Cake when? Tired of all this pie.

[shy shard]

is there no ashlands knife ?

[steep tusk]

No knife, no atgeir, no battleaxe.

Sadly no fire arrow 2.0 either 😭

[shy shard]

So the only pierce weapons are the spear, bow and crossow ?

I was thinking of going knives to pair with ||the ask set|| but I guess not

[steep tusk]

Aye. Though everything resists pierce, so it isn't ideal anyway.

[steep tusk]

Berserker Axes + Ask Armor + Ashen Cape is the most combat fun I have had in a long time.

[shy shard]

Agreed

[old bronze]

Flametal knives would probably be too OP

[fringe sundial]

or it could be (being) saved for DN....but thats just wild speculation on my part.

[hollow phoenix]

Ashlands Content Question

||Do you guys find it better to use lingering health mead or Major health mead in the ashlands.

They both share a cool down, so you can only use one or the other.||

[steep tusk]

Linger HP Mead is horrible.

[fringe sundial]

in most cases, people seem to prefer instant.

[steep tusk]

The nature of when you need health is in bursts.

Lingering Stamina is 🧑‍🍳 💋 though.

[hollow phoenix]

Oh for sure
Never leave home without it now
Esp since I'm a big scary great weapon user and that uses a lot of stam to use

[buoyant peak]

Lingering hp is much less efficient than instant healing.

Lingering is pretty much only "efficient" with eitr as stamina already has rested and instant stamina recovery is also better. Lingering eitr might be better if you don't use mage set

[hollow phoenix]

Yeah doing the math, even with the highest regen rate of 18 with all tier 7 health foods, multiplied by a combined +125% (x2.25) for both rested and the lingering healing mead, you only get 40 HP every 10 seconds
Or 1215 HP over it's entire 5 minute duration.

Without that mead you'd still get 1080 regen just from rested in that same time.

That plus it prevents you from using instant healing meads that entire duration.
Yeah it doesn't seem worth it.

[brisk musk]

is there a way to dig/destroy ground underwater, i want to dig a channel large enough to fit my ship through

[dreamy walrus]

You can build a wood walkway just below water level that you can stand on and use the hoe/pickaxe from .. sometimes stairs going down to get a little deeper

you won't need a ton for the largest boat, unlesss there're waves

[quasi vine]

Can Anyone give advice. Was hosting a multiplayer session with a friend and we unlocked the linen etc but the black metal pickaxe appeared on his craftable items list but not mines

[tired notch]

Black metal pickaxe requires Yggdrasil wood which is from Mistlands, you most likely have not had that item in your inv.

[quasi vine]

No i definitely haven’t. But neither has the other player and it appeared for him haha weird but not a big deal really. Was just curious

[tired notch]

Perhaps he had it in his world? Assuming you guys have Black Metal, it wouldn't appear otherwise.

[proper shoal]

lingering HP mead is terrible

[hollow phoenix]

That does seem to be the consensus

[dark fog]

It is known

The biggest problem with it is that in times you need health you are likely taking damage which stops health regen

[slate cairn]

Need a suggestion. I use EpicLoot which has returning weapons, which I love. Problem is I also love auto loot pickup. Since I'm usually running close to carrying too much, sometimes when I throw my weapon, autoloot grabs something, and suddenly I'm in the middle of a fight encumbered. Anyone have any suggestions for fixing this, including mods, but not "don't use autoloot"?

[hollow phoenix]

Ah. That is true. Being damaged stops regen and resets the 10 second counter for ticks.
Not great for up close combat

[mild snow]

bump since this issue is killing me, it straight up happens at the worst moments and sometimes over and over

[brave flax]

Hmmm. Best shield for entering the ashlands? Carapace buckler doesn't cut it.

Current build

[compact heath]

for parry the carapace buckler is the best actually

[brave flax]

I have yet to be able to parry them lol

is the serpent shield ok?

[compact heath]

if you are using it for the pierce resistance in plains and mist its okay, but not great (pierce resistance will only apply if its active though, not if you don't have it in your hand)

[brave flax]

im going into the ashlands

[compact heath]

if you want pierce resistance you're better off going with root chest

in Ashlands I'd use the carapace buckler if solo

[brave flax]

4 of us

Ill try the buckler again

[compact heath]

then you could use the other carapace shield if you want to be a full tank, with 3 health foods maybe, that will make you tanky

[brave flax]

gotcha

so with what I have ill try the buckler again. I dont mind

[compact heath]

for a combination of some parry and some normal blocking the new flametal shield is good once you get it, but not as good for parry as the carapace buckler

[dark fog]

With 4 of you you likely arent going to be able to parry most things. The damage bonus from 3+ players makes things you can normally block alone unblockable

[hollow phoenix]

Took me a bit to learn that you also do reduced damage for how many players are in the area.

[dark fog]

Its not that you do reduced damage. Its that the enemy health is increased by a % per player up to 5 payers

[hollow phoenix]

Oh. Interesting.
I haven't seen that in the wiki

[dark fog]

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

[dire hamlet]

in other words - get rid of your friends if you want to feel stronger

[worldly sleet]

For some reason, being near a bonemaw serpent destroys my game. Anytime i get within a certain radius of one I am no longer able to move my guy in any direction and he starts sliding down all slopes into the sea and clips me under the map

[obtuse path]

Hy, i got 2 chickens in here, but when i put in these 4 roof pieces, they won't eat and breed.. what is the reason for this ?

[sly parrot]

so i just got to mistlands level of the game. i have been saving uncooked dear meat, bore meat, and neck tails ever since they became obsolet food because i thought i had heard i could use them for the meat plater but turns out its just lox meat. is there a reason to keep them for future foods or is dear stew the best thing they are used for?

trying to avoid spoilers so i dont wanna looks stuff up

[dire hamlet]

later on it's only useful for decoration or for making coal by cooking it for too long

or as food for your pet wolf

[sly parrot]

dang it

i have a full black steal chest full of it lol

[dire hamlet]

aka a full black steel chest of coal if converted

[steep tusk]

Deer Meat you can always just cook.
Same with Serpent.

[willow raft]

In my opinion the only thing they are good for once you are passed the biome they are useful in is for feeding wolves or turn them into coal by burning them on the cooking station.
I do keep low level stamina food around to eat when I'm doing stuff around base, like farming or building.

[glad marsh]

I know I need to be nearby for askvins to tame and breed but do I need to be nearby for eggs to hatch?

[willow raft]

Just need to be sure that they are warm and roofed before you go away, once you come back and enough time has passed they will evolve into chicks and you can go away again, next time you come back after enough time has passed they will become hens.
If I'm not mistaken it is 1 ingame day from egg to chick and 2 from chick to hen.

[glad marsh]

Asksvin eggs turn into hens?

[willow raft]

Sorry was thinking about normal eggs, same applies to asksvin eggs though, if they have the conditions to hatch you should normally be good to go away and come back some time later and they should hatch after rendering in.

[hollow mantle]

So, this depends on your play style, in my opinion.

Personally, I’ve not been like “ok, I’ve reached Biome X, so now I’m done with all but the previous biome”, sometimes I want to just go hunt deer, explore a section of map I’ve not explored yet, or just tinker around in one of our bases, or an outpost.

So I keep low-level and mid-tier foods around for when I’m just pottering about doing that stuff.

Why waste the high tier foods on tasks that don’t need high tier HP and/or Stamina?

[chrome crescent]

Just smelted my first batch of flamental, would the mace be better than mistwalker for the charred? I assume they're weak to blunt?

[true steeple]

They aren't weak to blunt but the high knockback is very helpful for avoiding hits by starred charred warriors

[chrome crescent]

ok ty, yeah I tested some, mistwalker did more dmg, upgraded it to lvl 4 now as well

the slow is nice as well, so until I can infuse them ill stick with misty 😛

[true steeple]

The mace is very good for the miniboss so if you want to fight him you could make a level 1 flametal mace. If you spam the secondary attack he can't reach you.

[reef flame]

Up to you

[chrome crescent]

haven't found him yet, though Ive found a fort so thinking of heading there next 😛

[dire hamlet]

does anyone know how to make a consistent wineberry setup? my setups always yields well the first day after being planted and then from then on i only get like 6 berries every day despite having 20 wineberry bushes all growing undisturbed by eachother

[willow raft]

At the moment they are kinda bugged and they reset every time they get rendered in again.
So put them somewhere remote and go there after the amount of time for them to fully grow, don't know how long that is in ingame days though.

[steep tusk]

My base ones are purely decorative. I found a nice farmable spot in the Ashlands that yields like 81 berries.

[drowsy bane]

Has taming been changed in the last few years? Considering taming wolves, but unsure if old video guides are still correct

[dire hamlet]

should still be the same

[chrome crescent]

Just remember of you try to tame night wolfs you need to feed them during the night or they run away and/or despawn

[quiet shuttle]

That a thing ? lol i didntr know

[chrome crescent]

yeah, I learned it the hard way once I finally managed to make a raised wall around a 1 star night wolf

didnt have any meat so tped out to get some, come back and it's gone

[quiet shuttle]

I thought they were disappearing because they were the Raid mobs. I tried to tame the ones that raid you during "HUNTED"

[willow raft]

1 and 2 star wolves only come out at night and will disappear during the day if you go out of render distance.
So if you want to tame a 2 star wolf, prepare a pit with meat before hand and then get the wolf there asap.

[ebon niche]

guys how do you suggest i level up blood magic, and which of the three staff of frost, embers, or protection should i prioritize to upgrade

[willow raft]

I find upgrading ember more important than the rest, since it is my main weapon and with upgrades it does a bit more damage.
Though a good point can be made for the staff of protection since it brings more time for the shield.
Dead raiser only gets durability upgraded.
I wouldn't bother with frost, it is inacurate and does less damage than ember the only thing it has going is slowing down mobs.
To level up blood magic, you have a few ways:

• Just use it during gameplay, summon skeletons with dead raiser and let them do some damage, get the shield the staff of protection gives broken.
• Find a spawner either a greydwarf or a draugr and dig a hole under it, park a few skeleton archers at a spot the mobs can't reach but the skeletons can shoot them and afk.
• Use the console to raiseskill.

[steep tusk]

Bonemass, the great leveler of skills.

[primal bridge]

Just want to double check something from wiki, it says there is no lower limit of Moder Altar spawn from center

is that correct to peoples knowledge?

[ebon niche]

thats helpful, thanks

[drowsy bane]

@chrome crescent I heard that your buildings despawn when out of range. So that might be why. I also heard it takes several days. So only at night doesnt make sense

[willow raft]

They don't despawn, they are out of render range.
Same goes for animals, plants and everything, it gets frozen in time though time does progress so it will happen that when you get back in render range all your crops suddenly grow up all at once or your baby animals all grow up at the same time.
A starred wolf only comes out at night and will disappear come dawn if the taming process hasn't started and is out of render range.

[steel thorn]

does hildegarde's inventory update as the game progresses?

[steep tusk]

Only as you give her chests.
Once you have delivered one of each, she's showing everything she has.

[willow raft]

Which is a chore and a half on itself getting those chests to her, one of her chests is about 1/3 or more of a world away and that is quite a bit of sailing.

[steep tusk]

/spawn Hildr Chest 1 2 3

[buoyant peak]

I'm sure they wanted to encourage exploration and sailing but considering the rewards are just "ok" rather than "great" or above it pretty much accomplishes the opposite effect

[steep tusk]

😁😉

[steel thorn]

outside of the megingjord i bought from haldor im not seeing much of anything to spend coins on

i mean things i want anyway

[steep tusk]

Buying Fishing Bait and putting it in the Obliterator is one of the cheapest ways to get massive amounts of Coal.

[shy shard]

Or using it to collect all the fishes and making a fisherman's hat

[shy shard]

For decoration, the dvergr circlet is a really nice light source when placed in an item stand

[steel thorn]

^^^ good to know thanks

[somber oriole]

when i start the game this console opens up and valheim stays on loading screen

what can i do to fix it

[steel thorn]

whats the best use of boar meat, jerky or minced meat?

[steep tusk]

Minced.

[steel thorn]

bukeperries have no use outside vomitting right?

[steep tusk]

For now.

Still hoping for a mead base that is Bukeperries + Rotten Meat + Magecap that, when drunk, gives you a magical vomiting AoE attack.

[quiet zealot]

This really too far from the fire?

[lilac coyote]

Yep.

[sleek yoke]

any way to trash items?

[willow raft]

Obliterator it turns things into coal depending on certain rates.

[sleek yoke]

how do i get that?

or is there any more early-game solution; still in black forest

[willow raft]

Find the merchant called haldor, he sells a stone you need to make it.

[sleek yoke]

sweeeeet was about to go to him rn anyhow

[willow raft]

Otherwise you just leave it on the ground far away from any playerbase structures or toss it in water that is deeper than 2m.

[steel thorn]

are wraiths supposed to be superdifficult to parry?

[willow raft]

It's the height difference, they come flying from above and aren't on the same level so they are indeed harder to parry, I usually let them get closer, move back till they come to my level and it gets way easier.

[steel thorn]

gotcha, makes sense. Seemed like every time i timedit perfectly i still wouldnt parry

[steel thorn]

its funny, draugrs dont give me any trouble, but then a 1* draugr can just wreck me and parrying doesnt work

[proper shoal]

you can only block/parry up to a certain damage, the 1* draugr damage might've crossed that threshold

to be able to block/parry more damage you should either increase you block level, or use a better shield

[steel thorn]

thanks. Also is it normal to not be able to find any crypts in the swamp? Ive explored most of it but only found 1 which is underwater and not accessible

nvm, just found 2 right next to each other lol

[hollow phoenix]

Blocking in general is a two step thing.
And you can have cases where a slight damage increase would make the difference between a parry succeeding and failing.
Due to this two-step process. four things would increase your chance of a parry succeeding.

1. Better shield
2. Better Armor
3. More Health
4. Better block skill

When you parry, two calculations are done.

1. The block armor is multiplied by the parry bonus and reduces from the incoming damage.
   When all the block armor is used of that shield, the leftover damage goes into your stagger meter (40% of your max HP)
   If you stagger from that leftover damage, the parry fails and you take full damage.

2. However if you don't stagger, another calculation is done, the leftover damage is further reduced by your armor. Leftover again converts to stagger into your meter. If you were to stagger here, the parry succeeds but you stagger

Since Armor has diminishing returns after it's value is half of the damage you take, (Leftover from blocking or otherwise) your best bet is to equip a better shield, train your block skill, or have more health. A better shield and/or block stat will make it so you can parry without the need for the armor check, but if you have more health, you reduce the chances of you staggering overall.

[steel thorn]

this is great info thank you

[sudden galleon]

btw by upgrading the dead raiser you able to sumon more skeleton at the same time

[steel thorn]

not finding any turnip flowers in the swamp

[dire hamlet]

you will find plenty once you don't need them anymore 😅

just look out for a similar flower as the carrot one, just yellowish instead

[steel thorn]

just need 1 to multiply em but have found 0 lol

[hollow phoenix]

They are harder due to water taking up a lot of the land in the biome

[dire hamlet]

want a born spotter to visit and help out? 😄

[willow raft]

True, how did I forget to mention that important part.

[steel thorn]

thats very generous but im sure one will turn up eventually... just like the crypts

[hollow phoenix]

If the swamp is too small, you may not find either there.
I had that problem my first time exploring a swamp

[silent elk]

How do you destroy buildings with a stonecutter?

[true steeple]

The same way as with a workbench. Holding a hammer, use the block key when aiming at a stone piece when you’re within the build area of a stonecutter.

[thin reef]

Is there a way to obtain normal wood in ashlands?

[hollow phoenix]

Cutting down scorched trees and breaking their logs has a chance to give you a small amount.
Just be careful where you do it, because you can find yourself mobbed in an instant there if you mine or chop wood.
I recommend building a wall around the area you intend to work to keep all but the voltures away.

[thin reef]

So it's just a slight probability, alright, thank you 🙂 I had the pleasure to experience the horde, that's why I was asking 😆

[quiet rapids]

Hello, I have this bug that happens.. And several times.. I died several times because of this bug.
Would it be possible to correct this?

[subtle parrot]

What is the bug? What are you doing when the bug happens? Need more details

[quiet rapids]

I corrected my post with a link to a clip.

[hollow phoenix]

I'd say one regular sized scorched tree can net you about 5-8 regular wood from my experience.

And yeah the horde is not fun.
You think you can hold out but then they swarm you and you can't even move, let alone fight back.
if you are going to do it, pick a spot near a putrid hole because then you can duck in there if they start to mob you.

[steel thorn]

what are must have iron gear? I know the pickaxe

That's about it

You can make an iron mace/sword if you fancy when heading to mountains, though a well upgraded bronze one should do fine

[languid locust]

how much iron spawns inside a chest in the swamp crypts without multipliers.

[compact heath]

its RNG, I have had between 0 and 110+

[dark fog]

Its random but seems to usually be in the 12-20 range

[compact heath]

a for a chest sorry read that wrong

lets check the wiki on per chest

[languid locust]

okay atleast im not trippin i quickly turned off my resourse multiplier, im sad you cant choose 1.2x

[compact heath]

it said 10-20 on the wiki but I think I saw more than 20, but i could be remembering wrongly

I've never changed resource mods

[languid locust]

i was getting like 22-28 per chest

no more than that and no less

[compact heath]

I'm pretty sure I've had instances of 28 as well

[languid locust]

ight well im gonna keep this multiplier off either way

also i was able to find my seed on the calculator, it took a few trys tho

[compact heath]

the multiplier makes it less grindy, and I'm glad its there for people who need it, but I prefer it Vanilla with nothing changed

[languid locust]

wish there was a 1.2x multiplier, thats not too much but 1.5 is a little much.

[compact heath]

probably doesn't make mathematical sense on a per mob basis, items that normally drop too would drop 2.4, thats not an increase, same for drops one, now 1.2 per mob, doesn't do anything

only if somehting can drop 3 of one item it would then make it 4

[languid locust]

yeah that does indeed make sense

[compact heath]

the 1.5 rounds up something that drops 1 to 1.5, and rounded up that is 2

[lilac coyote]

You need to send it a DM to use that.

[quiet zealot]

If a stone structure is being supported by wood iron beams, at the top of the structure should the stone still be redish? or if the steel iron beams are all the way in to the ground, the stone should all be green ?

Anyone in ashlands (not flametal gear yet) running magic? I read it's pretty good so i wanna try that class

hello, freind has been disconnecting in my valheim world. any ideas? no dedicated server, we just join, and play.

[tiny violet]

could their internet be dropping in and out? bad wifi?

[tiny violet]

I'm in the same situation sort of. I just got to and started gathering Ashlands stuff. But I mostly had been going tanky mace and shield/sword and shield/2-hand hammer all playthru. I did make some magic stuff and upgrade it, but I feel like I want to play more hybrid-style and have some armor and bulkiness. im working on food combinations right now

it seems like melee style becomes really less effective compared to mage

I've been doing magic a lot in ashlands. i love it. Skellets ftw

Whts the strategy for entering a charred fortress?

[dire hamlet]

there are alot from what i can see

the first one many attempts is the had on with a battering ram followed by a chaotic fight

some just build a ladder and break the spawners with aoe mage spells and clear the fort up from the outside doing so

others builds up a ladder, springs in and loots the chests and jumps back out of the walls leaving the castle more or less intact

i prefere to build a trench around the entrance, use the battering ram to break the gate, leaves the area as soon as the gate breaks and then i use the harpoon to drag all enemies into the trench before entering and breaking the spawners and looting the place

[balmy vigil]

Basically chest generates 2-3 stacks, 4/21 chance for a stack to be 10-20 iron.
Only one stack could be of each type, so 6.53 per chest on average.

No, stone should turn red eventually at some height (about 20-30m)
The thing is iron beams have lower min support than stone.

[steep tusk]

Are you running HSS or HHS?

[dire hamlet]

what's that?

[steep tusk]

Food....

[dire hamlet]

Piquant Pie, Mashed Meat and Roasted Crust Pie

[steep tusk]

You have 3 slots.
Extremely common nomenclature for how those slots are distributed.

[dire hamlet]

so HHS

[steep tusk]

HSS = Health Stamina Stamina, for example.
But that is so many letters...

[dire hamlet]

just never been introduced to that nomenclature before

[steep tusk]

Personally, since I hate having desynced food timers, HHS for Ashlands (for me) is Mashed + Svinstew + Scorching Medley

All timers synced at 25 mins.

[dire hamlet]

i run the same, but i use top tier food for recoveries (no need to take chances when helping out others)

i once made 240 Fish'n Bread for Mistlands just for that purpose 😅

[shy shard]

oh god, desynced timers are the bane of my existence

[dire hamlet]

yea abit sad we don't have 2 health foods with 30 min timer in ashlands as we had in plains and mistlands

[steep tusk]

You don't have 2 Staminas either.

The only way to get 30-all from purely Ashlands is HSE setup.

[dire hamlet]

i never ran 2 x stamina on recoveries ^^

[shy shard]

I still opt for the highest tier of food available to me whenever I need most stats, but it always irks me to see the desynced timers

[shy shard]

HSE ?

[dire hamlet]

Eitr

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

[shy shard]

ahhh

I kinda forget about Eitr because we're not using magic at all with my friend in our current run

I think we're missing out but also kinda cba making all the eitr foods + eitr armor sets + leveling magic skills

[dire hamlet]

don't worry - i am not running mage either and didn't know about the short for health, stamina and eitr before 🤣

[shy shard]

especially in MP I think magic is useful just for the value of blood shield across several people

[dire hamlet]

for someone who likes to parry, the blood shield is almost gone faster than i can reaply it :/
so i stopped running HSE pretty fast, since i constantly had to reaply it and no longer could parry some enemies i could parry before and had less health when the bubble was down

[proper shoal]

Unless your Bloodmagic is above 40 I find magic it's not worth it

[buoyant peak]

Blood shield works best against weak attacks that are meant to only slowly but progressively drain your hp.

Like marksmen's volley attacks. When there is an army of archers constantly raining arrows on you at least several will continue hitting you until you kill them.

Hp regen is slow, so those constant volleys neutralise your only way of healing if you either don't have meads or it's on cooldown

Those volleys aren't meant as a big damage dealer, they're meant as a way to create attrition to your character and forbid you from having a grace period.

Unless you're hit at point blank, those volleys are essentially a shotgun as well

[crude ermine]

does the game basically force you to fight the queen with plains level armor? there only seems to be one upgrade for the black forge. (plz dont tell me anything about ashlands yet)

seems really bull

[steep tusk]

Rank 2 Carapace Armor is better than Padded.

[crude ermine]

by a whopping 6 armor mate

[steep tusk]

You're the one saying the game is "forcing" you to do something, when it isn't.

[crude ermine]

how so

[steep tusk]

You can wear padded or carapace. You are not forced to wear padded.

[crude ermine]

what kind of logic is that? would you do bone mass in bronze armor?

[steep tusk]

Yes. Lol. Always.

Iron Armor is a waste of resources.

Troll/Bronze is more than adequate to get you to Wolf.

Food is far more important than gear.

Food, Shield, Weapon.

Actual worn armor is.. 🤷‍♂️ if you have all 3 of those in good standing.

[crude ermine]

thats just stupid

[steep tusk]

No. But you do you.

If you're good at rolling, Food and Weapon are the only 2 things that matter. 🤷‍♂️

[crude ermine]

bonemass is much easier to dodge roll to victory that queen. its not even the same situation

[steep tusk]

I never said it was?

Also Queen herself is just as easy to dodge roll. It's the adds that are more interesting than Bonemass's.

Himmin Afl trivializes that though.

[willow raft]

There are 2 upgrades for the black forge in mistlands, the last upgrades come from ashlands.
You could also for for the galdr table and go mage.

[crude ermine]

can only get forge cooler though

[buoyant peak]

Craft mechanical spring

Artisan table

[steep tusk]

2 Mist, 2 Ash last I counted.

[willow raft]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Vice and you need mechanical spring.

[crude ermine]

ah ok thx. my bro didnt want to bother with balistas so we never tried that. thx for the info

[willow raft]

Yeah.

[crude ermine]

i didnt remember there being anything else you could do with springs besides traps and balistas pre ashlands uptdate so im guessing its new

[buoyant peak]

It was added after mistlands update

[harsh sequoia]

In a dedicated server scenario, with the player base raids setting, it appears that only the first person to kill a troll, is eligible for the Ground Shaking - when no boss has been cleared, and bronze/iron pickaxe has been acquired. No player has a boss clear, and no player has a boss power. Only the first player to kill a troll appears to be eligible for the ground shakes, is this correct? I'm on a crazy streak of the Forest is Moving, and never seeing troll raid as the second player to kill a troll in a no boss clear scenario.

[crude ermine]

for reference, what do you consider to be "good standing"

[steep tusk]

From current biome.

That being said, I did most all of Mistlands with Blackmetal Axe, and it worked fine. Just went up to Himmin Afl for Queen herself.

[crude ermine]

so levels dont matter? what if youre playing on higher difficulties?

[steep tusk]

"Levels" ?

[crude ermine]

skill levels of shield and weapon?

[steep tusk]

Skills are just free bonuses. Game isn't balanced around you having them.

However:

what if youre playing on higher difficulties?
If you're self-inflicting this issue, then you have other factors at play.

[steel thorn]

so would it be wise to make an iron mace?

[steep tusk]

Very.

[steel thorn]

not the shield though right?

[steep tusk]

Iron Buckler is amazing.

[steel thorn]

oh okay

[crude ermine]

so do you just roll the entire swamp in troll armor until you get to the mountains?

[ebon niche]

is root chest, carapace helm, and eitr weave leggings fine against queen?

[steep tusk]

Yes. Many people do.

[crude ermine]

guess you really dont even need armor at that point. shoulda told myself i had skill issues and not worried about crafting progression

[steep tusk]

Bucklers parry everything.

[crude ermine]

seems intuitive enough

and im guessing if im "self inflicting" at higher difficulty settings i should just not rely on armor huh

that seems to be the message im getting here

[steep tusk]

You'll need armor more than what is advertised, as your odds of getting hit increase.

[crude ermine]

yes

[steep tusk]

Which is where armor matters --> When you get hit.

[crude ermine]

that sounds actually logical

[steep tusk]

So that "+6" you're scoffing at matters.

[crude ermine]

i was comparing the difference in upgrades to the progression in other bioms man

its a big diffrence between 1 upgrade and 4

er 3 i guess

thats why i said forcing

just seems bizarre that you suddenly cant upgrade your equipment as per usual

[hollow mantle]

And for those of us that don't have the mad skills?

[crude ermine]

exactly

just gotta dream about being a gaming chad

[steep tusk]

Define "per usual"?

Because every biome's equipment cannot be fully upgraded until entering the next biome.

[crude ermine]

i thought only forest was that way but i usually just get root armor for elder because its available

[steep tusk]

It isn't available unless you've gone to the next biome.

[crude ermine]

true but theres not really anything preventing you from getting the mats for it

like its almost suicide to try to do anything in the mist without the whisps

so you have to kill yag first

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[crude ermine]

and im pretty sure you can get wolf armor to rank 4 before the plains so idk why you said that

and iron armor as well if you are crafting the sets

[steep tusk]

There is also an entire challenge mode in this game called the "No Boss Run"

But I think Ashlands fucks that up given you can't really get there without killing Queen.

[crude ermine]

ok

heck you can even get padded to 4 before mist

just mist you cant upgrade your stuff

seems like the devs were like "time to make this harder than usual"

cause... why not

and that was my point

but i had to go through conversations about food and weapons being more important and self infliction which maybe true but just not the issue i was trying to focus on

[buoyant peak]

Because by the time you reach plains you can get forge to max level.

And forge is a crafting station you unlock several biomes earlier...

While black forge is only relevant for just two

You unlock it at mistlands, and there's only one other biome where you unlock two other levels

[crude ermine]

the difference being that upon entering the swamp you can already max your forge out where in mist you cant

[buoyant peak]

It only seems logical that you would be able to max out everything with the two probable extra upgrades that might be implemented in DN

[steel thorn]

only a workbench stops spawns right? not a forge or other crafting station?

[buoyant peak]

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

[crude ermine]

actually i shoulda compared to forest which is where you get the forge but at least you can get it to lvl 3

[steel thorn]

oh good to know

[buoyant peak]

For example, iron sword can be crafted only at forge lvl 2, you unlock it at all one biome earlier, and you need a forge lvl 5 to max it.

Seems pretty similar to Ashlands but just one level behind.

Regardless, don't put too much emphasis on upgrades, you can play fine without any at all.

And upgrading base flametal gear is worthless as they are lost when ||enchanting.||

And there's 0 reason to ||NOT enchant a weapon||

[crude ermine]

aah spoilers! my eyes!

yeah i should just stick to normal diff and stop complaining

[buoyant peak]

Whoops. I thought it was all about ashlands stuff

[crude ermine]

lol its okay i dragged the conversation out too long

[steel thorn]

huntsman bow good or is te fine bow good enough?

[buoyant peak]

Keep the finewood bow

Which reminds me...

[steel thorn]

also, banded shield vs iron buckler?

[crude ermine]

bucklers tend to be better in my experience as long as you can land parries. if youre in multiplayer and latency is an issue the shield might be better

[stark kettle]

soo i just found out lava blobs can destroy terrain now

nice patch, IronGate xD

[steel thorn]

im solo rn, so parry bonus is better than block force and armor block?

[steep tusk]

Block Armor is what matters.

Block Armor * Parry Bonus = Block Armor When Parrying

Block Force is just "how far back things get knocked when hitting your shield."

[buoyant peak]

Block force is knockback from blocking

Block armor is the damage resisted.

And the parry just adds a bonus to your block armor

So it is based on the block armor

[stark kettle]

will a asksvin that's being tamed despawn if I leave the area?

i need one more to start breeding them

[buoyant peak]

If it already started the process, no

[stark kettle]

nice

[compact chasm]

Hi, where can I find the item IDs of Ashlands items?

[turbid helm]

why not play legit?

[compact chasm]

Because dedicated servers cost money 🙂

[lilac coyote]

You don't need a dedicated server to play the game.

[compact chasm]

I'm not playing solo 😛

[turbid helm]

still doesnt cost money unless you want the server to be 24/7

[fringe sundial]

There is a list of those on the wiki. Search "ID" and it should pop up.

[compact chasm]

We might go back to the pain of uploading/downloading files soon haha

[turbid helm]

wdym

[compact chasm]

We aren't all playing at the same times, so what we used to do is: when the person hosting the server has to leave, uploads the world, someone else downloads it and import it, host the server, rinse and repeat xd

[turbid helm]

no? its just save and leave

and yes the server closes when the host leaves

[fringe sundial]

That's one way to keep a "free" server going 24/7. Otherwise paying for a server can allow people to log on and play even if the purchaser isn't online.

[buoyant peak]

But the host doesn't really need to be online for the dedicated server to be opened tho

[compact chasm]

Yea thats what I meant ty

[buoyant peak]

What I said applied for self-hosted dedicated servers

[fringe sundial]

True if the system playing host stays on/powered. In my case, the owner is hosting and playing on the same computer, so when they close valheim and power down for the day, the server is offline.

But, if you don't want to pay a 3rd party for a server, you could create your own with some tech know-how.

[steel thorn]

is not using a shield viable or will yo never be able to parry stronger enemies?

[fervent wing]

Hey Guys me and my friend cant break muddy scrap piles
they dont take damage from antler nor bronze pickaxes???

[hollow mantle]

Any tier pickaxe should work. Try logging out and back in again.

[eager remnant]

does anyone know how to solve the black screen problem?

[serene tangle]

Do you have any mods? Should take damage.

[fervent wing]

we'll try it again some other day

nope no mods

[radiant vale]

What black screen problem? If there’s a bug, report on #steam-bugs-discussion

[eager remnant]

When i launch game it stuck on black screen

[radiant vale]

Running mods? Disable them and see if you can launch.

[eager remnant]

nop i dont run mods

I was playing valheim without any problems until 2 months ago. Today we planned to start again with friends, but after starting the game, it stays on the black screen, neither sound nor any visuals come.

[quartz cairn]

give it a few mins, it's applying ashlands changes to your world

[sudden galleon]

yea you need to wait it take longer to start a new world since ashland if the none responding window pop up click on wait]

[sweet crescent]

Hey how do i find the drywn parts?

[sudden galleon]

drywn parts ?

[sweet crescent]

yeah?

the ashlands fire sword?

[sudden galleon]

hmm hold on ill lunch the game so i can see what mat you need for it

[radiant vale]

That’s important info. You’re playing an old seed that needs to convert to the update. Give it time - several minutes at least, more depending on your system and level of exploration.

If you’ve overly explored it, it likely won’t go well, btw.

[eager remnant]

Black screen dont appear when i try to join world it appear when i try to start the game

[sudden galleon]

sorry bud look like i dind unlock the receipy myself :/ i got 1 but its from the epic lot mod, i probably mist somthing

[sudden galleon]

your black screen is it when you start a new world ? or when you lunch a world already made?

[eager remnant]

it happen when i launch the game

this is a screenshot of blackscreen

i can see texts or anything

[ebon niche]

ohhh so block force is not the stat i need to look at

no wonder i've been blocking greater damage

[sudden galleon]

hmm you try to verify the integrity of the files? or maybe uninstal then reinstal the game

[eager remnant]

tried both

[sudden galleon]

maybe gona have a better luck in the @ steam-bug-discution i cant help ya more then that sorry

[barren gate]

hey, its possible to transfer save of map/hero from game pass version into steam?

[fringe sundial]

I would imagine if you copied all the files into steam into the equivalent folders it would, but there might be protections in place so you can't play a game pass game in steam (DRM).

That would kinda be like trying to return a product from (store x) at (store y) when they don't have the same parent company.

[crystal kiln]

should work
drm usually only protects core files

[serene tangle]

The question is how to get gamepass files. They could be in the cloud.

Seems that "move to local" from within the game is the answer
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/xwt3wb/world_save_file_location_for_pc_gamepass_version/

[barren gate]

they are in cloud and i dont have game pass subscription 😭

[brisk musk]

anyone know what causes surtling spawners to activate? if i stand near it nothing happens but if i portal home and come back there will be drops on the ground

[fringe sundial]

Player proximity and not having "player base" items within spawn range is what I have found. Hopping through a portal has your viking spawn several seconds before you can play, so they spawn as soon as you portal through.

Oh, and they are on a timer so they don't overwhelme the world via spawning hundreds or more from going back and forth through portals or the like.

[ebon niche]

guys im at the deep north

what is this

[real nebula]

Placeholder biome atm, it is the next biome in progression after Ashlands and should not have any content currently

[ebon niche]

im trying to find ashlands, any general direction or random?

[real nebula]

Straight south

Ashlands is always at the southern edge

[ebon niche]

bruhhhhhhhhh

[real nebula]

Deep north is always at the northern edge

[ebon niche]

you telling me i have to sail all the way back

atleast you told me else i wouldve been searching all these borders 💀

what will happen to the deep north i have already found once the update rolls out

will it regenerate with the new content on top of it?

[sudden galleon]

when the Dn is release all discover land will not generate

you will have to go deeper for it to generate

at least it was like that in the past

[brisk musk]

itll prolly be well over a year before you see it anyways, youll have a new world

[worthy comet]

Hi, have you found any solution? I have this problem since mid 2023, try a lot of things (disabling crossplay, router port forwarding, ecc), didn't work

[worldly pilot]

ready for bonemass

[hardy imp]

If nocost is turned on in a server, can it be disabled without having to use a backup? A server my friend runs has no cost on currently but every time he turns it off it goes back on

[wary kiln]

what would be the best channel to ask for assistance on running valheim plus using pterodactyl?

[real nebula]

#mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[wary kiln]

ty

[still bridge]

Yes I was able to fix it completely

FastLink by AzuMatt. You can use r2modman (or thunderstore) or copy locally. You'll need to configure a yaml file though. But it allows you to join a server without being forced to query all valheim servers.

If you need help just ping me. I installed this mod on all my kids' devices and three of us can connect to a server without our home internet going down 😂

[stuck dragon]

Hello, new here and getting sick of greydwarf raids into my base. do torches/campfires work against mob spawning? if so do they need to be refuelled to work like that?

[sudden galleon]

workbench prevent spawning but its not prevent the monster roaming inside

better put fence around your base

or dig a trench all around it

[fringe sundial]

#building-tips message has a list of things that prevent spawns but it is also a good idea to wall off your base because random encounters are partially based on if the mob can see you or structures that they "attack on sight".

[stuck dragon]

Thanks!
I see campfires prevent spawning... but do they need to be lighted for that?

[fringe sundial]

From what I have been told, no.

And it seems to work for me.

[stuck dragon]

Does upgrading the workbench level increase the build area?

[steep tusk]

No.

[fringe sundial]

Not that I am aware of, but I have heard that it does increase the spawn suppression area(could very well be wrong though since I can't find the OG source).

[stuck dragon]

as you can see in the pic I have a larger white area that I can currently build in... normal range of the workbench is what I have given in green

[lilac coyote]

Build radius increases with level.

[steep tusk]

Interesting.

Changed or has that always been?

[lilac coyote]

Changed. Can't remember when though.

[steep tusk]

I blame Smiffe.

[stuck dragon]

as you can see the white line has moved back. after I removed 1 upgrade lvl...

[lilac coyote]

4m per level.

[stuck dragon]

darn that is HUGE

[steep tusk]

TWSS

[hardy imp]

^ 🙏

[fringe sundial]

It should be able to be turned off by reversing how you enabled it (in theory). Asking in the server help area might get you better/more detailed answer.
https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[hardy imp]

Oh there is a server area! Thank you :>

[wet apex]

heyo, my valheim is broken, every time i start up any world my game just freezes and stops responding....

[steep tusk]

Wait it out. Takes a couple minutes sometimes when loading in with the new Ashlands world gen.

[wet apex]

yea no but like i played 5 minutes before, left, joined back and waited for like 10 minutes with quite a high end pc

tried it again and am now waiting for another 10 minutes almost

[worthy comet]

Nice, I can use that mod, but i barely know about programming. That yaml file has like a generic code? Or has specific information according to my computer/network/ecc? If its like generic could you send it to me? And i just copy paste

Edit: just googled the mod and Im reading that in the YAML file i have to write the server info, like adress password ecc. Adress would be my IP, but what do i write on "port"? Is the internal port of my device? or it means some external like valheim port?

[still bridge]

If you want, send a friend invite and I'll help you set it up.

[toxic island]

everytime i try to start a server on pc xbox the game crashes

[fringe sundial]

does it give a "this program has stopped working" error or just a black screen? If so, try loading the world solo and have it run for several minutes. If it works solo, use that same world for the server. It might be the ashlands update.

[toxic island]

it says ''valheim has stopped working'' with stop valheim and wait for it to load buttons

[fringe sundial]

leave it on that for several minutes. that seems to be the common responce when loading the ashlands update for the first time for a given world seed. average time is 5-10 minutes.

don't tab out or anything.

[supple shore]

does smoke go through cage floor?

[hazy remnant]

So i need some help with Valheim

How do i make someone an admin without having a dedicated server?

[fringe sundial]

that's not something I am familiar with, but I would guess there are youtube videos on how, otherwise try asking in the server(s) chat: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[ivory notch]

Would someone be willing to part with one of the majestic carapace item. One of my friends was playing with us when we fought the queen a few months ago we have not played since because we were waiting on Ashland's to release. he picked everything up and I don't want to bother him since he is in vacation at the moment. Any assistance would be appreciated

[fringe sundial]

You could just go into a solo world, use devcommands (developers console) and spawn it, keep it in your inventory and hop onto the server/world you and your friend(s) play on....or go through the standard process and fight the queen.

there isn't a proper traiding system to this game

there is also the option (if spawning the item is to cheat-like) to hop onto a server and have a group of randome people help you earn it by fighting the queen together rather than solo.

[turbid helm]

does this weather mean anything i should worry about? (ashland spoiler)

[fringe sundial]

my understanding of the ashlands (at this point) is kinda dated but that looks the equivalent to a thunderstorm or snowstorm, if it is, I call it a ash-storm. nothing major to worry about unless you have wood buildings or something as I have heard that storm can catch things on fire with the tiny fiery equivalent of hail(think tiny meteors).

[turbid helm]

got it

[brave flax]

Fenrir + askvin cloak or Embla + askvin cloak is faster?? feels like embla is

[fringe sundial]

ask is supposed to act like sails on a boat, so you would have to do a comparison while running with the wind for max speed comparison. not sure on/don't have numbers so I can't say without a ton of in-game testing.

[loud linden]

Hey dudes! Quick broadly-speaking 'yes or no' question please - Do you think the root harnesk is worth taking over the padded/carapace chest-piece for The Queen fight, as a 1H/shield character?

[sudden galleon]

you plan to fight the queen whit only 1h/shield ? i foreseen a long battle😂

[loud linden]

I'm going with a magic player too. There's 2 of us.

[sudden galleon]

oh well you need an aoe damage weapon to clear the queen spawn or you will burn you stam just on killing then

[loud linden]

You saw the yes/no bit yeh? lol I appreciate the advice, I've killed her before, just wanted to poll the theorycrafters.

[steep tusk]

I have a blanket yes/no based on your answer to:

How good are you at rolling?

[ornate brook]

Yes it’s worth, queen does some pierce damage, seekers do some pierce damage, and broods do pierce, very very good option.

[steep tusk]

If your expectaion for getting hit is moderate to high -> Yes, it is worth wearing the Root Chest.

If your expectation for getting his is low -> Pass. Value isn't there.

But then again, if you aren't getting hit much, you're probably wearing Fenris to that fight. So if the choice is between Heavy Armor vs. Heavy Armor with Root Chest, then "yes", it is worth it.

[turbid elk]

Hi, has anyone had an issue where you login to your server and the terrain is not at the level that it was at previously? my terrain at one of my servers dropped from being a mountain to being sea level so all my floor tiles and major parts of the base has been destroyed. my portal and whats left are floating in midair so I dont know what to do.

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server they would know more.

[quartz cairn]

where about in the world is that happening? if it's at the far border -> https://valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands/

[turbid elk]

yeah that would explain it, although my base isnt at the border. its a bit north of the inner circle of the map. Any ideas on how to be able to move or get access to stuff I have there?

[quartz cairn]

I would go with devcommands locally then.

[loud linden]

@steep tusk @ornate brook Ty folks

Hello all 🌸
New here

When joining someone’s server, do they need to accept you or?

My sister and I just started playing and I’m unable to connect to her server

[cyan gazelle]

what is that stone golem there ?

[steep tusk]

It's a golem 🤷‍♂️

[frosty frost]

they are in these big caves sometimes 😄

[cyan gazelle]

ye but that s only for entertainment?

i mean i don t see a way to go there and fight him

[hollow mantle]

In a frost cave?

You can get there.

[chrome crescent]

What's people preferred way of killing fallen valk? I see a fort in the distance but having to kill so many of them every day makes for little spawnproofing progress lol

Played around with Dundir and even if its really fun to have a shotgun not sure if its better dmg uptime compared to frost staff and midrange kiting

[quartz cairn]

frost arrow head shot.

[chrome crescent]

They're weak to pierce on their head?

[buoyant peak]

No

[dire hamlet]

I prefere to go full insane mode and jump attack them mid air until they run out of health 😄

Only dodging to dodge their spin attack and parry their claw attack if I deem it will hit

[subtle parrot]

There should be a join code or a password in order to join, but there could be a networking issue preventing you from joining as well, but I don't have a pc or play multiplayer so I'm not very knowledgeable on those issues

[mystic solar]

As a mage - pull with xbow for a nice chunk of initial damage, then melt it with staff of fracturing.

[chrome crescent]

Oh, gave that one up after I crafted it early on lol, even the single target with hitting many seemed meh

[tiny violet]

I play on Steam on PC. I know nothing of crossplay if that is what you’re doing.
What I do on PC is after selecting character, when picking a world, I click on the Friends tab, and find my Steam friend’s world, and join. Once it loads a bit it prompts for a password.
The person hosting needs to be sure to “Start World as server” when initially launching the game world. They set the password there before opening the world.

Yeah pulling with xbow i try to do, but ill give the fracture another try, lol even less inventory space now -.-

[mystic solar]

It only starts to shine if you can land a couple hits in quick succession so it's damage tick goes up. The odd single hit now and then doesn't do much.
With a valk, I unload once when she flies in, then dodge / sidestep her special attack, unload again. If I land all casts, a non starred will be about dead at this point, or shortly after.

[sudden galleon]

i like the staff of the wild to kill the valk 🙂

[chrome crescent]

Yeah when i had it first I didnt fight many big monsters, mostly charred. Ill give it a go for sure, the burning dmg stacks only per hit not off the actual dmg of the hit i assume?

[mystic solar]

I tried that too, but it's slower imo.

[slim pasture]

Found some text inconsistency today. I assume its been mentioned.

[mystic solar]

Each shot from that staff consists of several projectiles, I believe like 12. If you land them all, they stack their damage. Do it several times quickly (like 3-5) and you get some good damage going. You can cast in quite fast succession with that staff, give it a try.

[livid rock]

after we kill the mistland boss do we get ashland raids in the meadows ? or just in other biomes?

[mystic solar]

There is an undead raid happening after the Queen kill, I believe it can happen in meadows too. Wiki should know the details.

[sudden galleon]

their is a raid and some seeker can spawn durring the night around your base without beibg a raid

Hi guys, I'm new in this comunity, I've had a problem in the last 2 months, I want to play with my friend in his server, but when I connect to it after 10 mins my router restart and I lose the connection in all my devices, Anyone knows what happend? (sorry for my English, it's not my mother language)

[livid rock]

ty

[mystic solar]

Best ask in the dedicated server channel. But it sounds like your router may have a problem

[livid rock]

i found the page..it can be in any biome

[tulip vigil]

I don't have any problem with my router, or with my other games, valheim is the only one that makes this with my router

I tested my connection with all my games and there's no problem

[tulip vigil]

what is the dedicated server channel?

Thank you 🌸

[frail cave]

Thank you!
We managed to sort it out 🌸

[tiny violet]

you're welcome! Glad to hear it

[valid musk]

Good afternoon everybody. My brother has a world where we play together. In the last few days, I can no longer connect to his world, nor can he connect to other worlds. I tried entering more worlds of other friends and it worked. But my brother can't access any world anymore. it already uses the "Open Server" and "Cross Server" function, even so, we were unable to enter. It only fails to connect. Does anybody know how to solve this?

[mortal yacht]

do the ||vines of the staff of the wild|| give me elemental skill when they attack?

[mystic hawk]

i just got the game, made a char, made a world, everytime i try to load in i get stuck on "loading" and it stops responding

[rigid robin]

Just happened to me too…

[mystic hawk]

lmaooo

[mystic hawk]

i just let it not respond for 5 min and it suddenly loaded up

[mystic hawk]

sorry to b2b ping 3 times

if youre brand new, trying to learn the game together?

[rigid robin]

Yeah sure thing. Me and my GF have just downloaded it so we can play it with u

[mystic hawk]

wanna vc?

[rigid robin]

Yeah I’ll DM you in a minute

[mystic hawk]

awesome

[humble storm]

when fix is coming i

[sudden galleon]

fix ? what fix ?😅

[humble storm]

ashland spams

try it on hard u will see all

[paper solstice]

hii,, i have a server on g portal, and the button for "no build cost" is not functioning.. ive asked the gportal discord, but they keep saying to ask here..does anyone know anything about how to enable no build cost or make it work?

[buoyant peak]

But that's not a fix.

You fix something that's broken, those spawns are not broken

[humble storm]

Fixes & Improvements:

• Decreased random spawn chance of multiple enemies in the Ashlands:
  ** Voltures: reduced spawn chance from 30% to 20%

and others

[ebon niche]

how high do i need to raise floor to be safe (while using the raise ground function to use as walls)

[nova magnet]

Got a question about Hildir events :

with a fresh character, if i join a world where all Hildir related dungeons have been cleared and all 3 chests have been returned to her, can i get raided by Hildir minibosses if i choose the individual progression raids option ?

in other words, what triggers Hildir minibosses raids ? kill minibosses ? or chests returned to her ? and does the individual progression option impact those raids ?

[buoyant peak]

Fixes and improvements

[steel thorn]

are the sails of your ships ever customizable?

[nova magnet]

only with mods

[ancient wagon]

I’ve done some research and taken tips offline still can’t find the trader 🤦‍♂️

[serene tangle]

For each hildir raid, "player events" setting requires killing corresponding semi-boss (by player) and touching corresponding chest.

[nova magnet]

ok, so in the case that i explain (joining a world where all Hildir dungeons are cleared), i need to turn off "individual progression" to get raided by Hildir minibosses ?

[serene tangle]

Hmm, but it seems, that if there's a single player online with right conditions, event can happen

[nova magnet]

thx for answer 🙂 i'll backup my character and try to do some tests, because it could be a "problem" if a fresh character join a world where all Hildir dungeons are done, and cannot trigger related events

[sudden galleon]

https://valheim-map.world/ if you have question on how it work you can ask me😁

[brave flax]

this was interesting. our team of 4 went to a fortress last night and we couldn't even get close to it, there were like 10 warlocks and some other crap just on the outside.. So we gave up. Why are all the YT videos on this not like that?

I haven't seen warlocks in any of the videos that have to do with fortress's

That was 1/4 of the enemies. Lol

[sudden galleon]

the number of enemy is scaled by the number of player. i cant remember if its on the server or in proximity

[dark fog]

Warlocks are pretty much always found at fortresses but ive never seen 10 of them even with 5 players.

[dark fog]

The game scales using health and damage, not enemy numbers

[brave flax]

justa large mix of enemies - anyway do they stop spawning outside at some point?

[dark fog]

There are spawners inside the fortress. If you kill them no more warlocks can spawn

[brave flax]

well I just mean like, do they keep spawning outside?

or can we finally get close lol

[serene tangle]

Normally there should be 3-5 warlocks w/o respawn (and they don't spawn outside near fortress or at random in Ashlands)
Are you sure you haven't mixed them up with other enemies, which are spawend by warlocks infinitely?

[coral wyvern]

hey, anyone has a trick to find the plain boss? 7 plain biome done so far and I can't find his spawning spot..

[dark fog]

Sometimes its easier to spot his spawn in the wild than to find his stone. Look for big rocks that curl together to shape a claw. But if looking for the stone, make sure to check any Stonehenge structures while exploring.

[ancient wagon]

Does this work if I’m on the Xbox ?

[sudden galleon]

should be.. never tryed it

[stable shadow]

anyone experienced tamed boar not wanting to leave nearby a runestone?

[sudden galleon]

enter your game seed and watch the spawn loc if it match

[true steeple]

How are you trying to move it away from the runestone?

[stable shadow]

just pushing, idon't have the harpoon yet in this world

but this is the 3rd boar that won't leave, the boar pushing gets crazy excessive and then they run back to hang out around it again

[true steeple]

I usually let a boar chase me into a pen and tame it there

If the boars you’ve found don’t have stars it might be worth trying that

[stable shadow]

yeah, my pen was inside the whatever radius the runestone apparently has

it's just something i would have assumed to have been talked about if it's a thing, but any boar you find you need to pull away from the runestone before taming. and it's like a good 20m+ at least

[ancient wagon]

I was under the impression that the trader is usually within 1500m of the spawn, in the Black Forest, is this true, also can the trader be in the snow that’s in the Black Forest ?

[stable shadow]

i believe it is at least 1500m

[ancient wagon]

Ah that would be different, thanks.

[sudden galleon]

the trader haldor will only in a black forest biom

[glad marsh]

If I tame a 1 star askvin will the eggs it lays become 1 stars as well?

[hollow mantle]

I believe so.

[cinder obsidian]

I was fighting Yagluth, it was at 33% hp and then it just died. Can someone explain why did it die?

[dark fog]

Yes

[coral wyvern]

Hey, can anyone give me a hand killing Yagluth?

[keen harness]

i've been seeing this pink/purple square in the corner of my screen hud. is this happening to anyone else? i want to disable it 😕

hmmm... so its not a part of hud... i press CTRL + F3 and it doesnt go away...

[lilac coyote]

I don't see anything pink in your screenshot?

[real nebula]

Top left, kinda overlayed over the first hotbar item

[real nebula]

That ain't a known issue afaik, are you running any mods?

[steep tusk]

It's the game being upset that you're carrying 2 melee weapons 😉

[keen harness]

no sir. pure vanilla

[real nebula]

Is it only Valheim or is that an overlay over other apps?

[keen harness]

idk... thats why i came here...

[real nebula]

Tried to save and exit, then reload the game?

[keen harness]

trying it

idk what i did - but purple/pink square is gone.

[keen harness]

tried it - and it worked. thanks scarlet 🙂

[real nebula]

Cheers~

[steep tusk]

It's definitely the 2 melee weapon thing 😛

[dusk edge]

Anyone wanna help me with Moder?

[real nebula]

#1024264966712340510 would be your best bet to find game partners

[dusk edge]

Oops my bad. Sorry first time using Valheim discord

[real nebula]

No worries, welcome to the server!

[hollow heron]

how do i fill these in?

[steep tusk]

Frame the house first.

Then add walls/floor.
Just like IRL building.

[hollow heron]

what does that mean? sorry.

[steep tusk]

#screenshots

[dark fog]

Build a hoe and raise the ground to make it level or use more wood under it to give it support. It is a good practice before starting a build to prepare the terrain first

[mild copper]

Guys, where do I go to suggest a change in name translation (of the community)? Is there such a thing here on discord?

[sudden galleon]

#suggestions ?😉

[hollow mantle]

Lots of places outside of the US (and probably some other places) don’t actually build that way, IRL.

[round condor]

Can someone explain why I'm getting this ?

It's not only that IP. It gives me about 10 different IPs and keeps spamming.

[worthy thistle]

may be the wrong chat but does anyone need help with fador? I honestly just kinda wanna fight him over and over again. such a fun boss.

and i ran out of bells.

[ornate finch]

Valheim is probably pinging other servers in your favourites and recent tab, to get their info, which your Malware bytes interprets as malicious action. Probably because there is too many servers. Did you open community server list?

[ornate finch]

Try lowering Steam browser pings per minute from 5000 to 250 in Steam settings → in-game.

If you are using any VPN, they can also be responsible for losing connection.

After that, try disabling your IPv6. Start → type control panel and open it → set to small icons in top right → network and sharing center → change adapter settings → right click on your ethernet adapter or WiFi adapter that you are using → properties → untick the box next to IPv6 → restart PC.

[round condor]

There's only 1 server and I've never went to community tab. Maybe it preloads without going there ?

[keen harness]

frame the house... that way no one will know it was you...

[sand island]

The game refuses to load new worlds. Any world I created before works fine, but any new I make is perma stuck at black loading screen. Any idea why?

[alpine abyss]

hello, how am i supposed to build a tower made out of black marbel without it becoming red so fast?

[chrome crescent]

Use iron supports
