Building fancy takes alot of iron xD

[compact heath]

If you fire up worlds for the first time or first time since Ashlands it can take up to 10 plus minutes and might come up with the message that the game is not reacting, waiting often fixes this.

[sand island]

And of course now that I read it and was ready to wait, the world loaded in after like 3min, which is about half the time I've waited on previous attempts 😑

[compact heath]

glad its worked out

[ember sluice]

Why do I only have 36 eitr when seeker aspic gives you 85?

Doe it lessen a time passes after you eat it?

[real nebula]

Yes

Food effects will decay over time as they tick down

[ember sluice]

New or I just never noticed

[real nebula]

It's been a thing since the start pretty sure~

Sevrah's detailed food spreadsheet pinned in #valheim-chat should detail food decay if you're interested

[ember sluice]

More obvious with magic I guess. I tend to eat one of each which gives me enough etir for 2 fireballs

But lately I've been noticing I often can only do one at a time

[hollow mantle]

Not seeing that under Pins.

[real nebula]

#valheim-chat message Here ya go

[hollow mantle]

Ah! The post is abbreviated in the pins view. And I was looking for a post by Severah. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks. 🙂

[real nebula]

Yeah, mobile abbreviating pins is sooooo bad

They've screwed up a few things with the updated UI but this has to be the worst one for me

[fierce sierra]

hello guys , i need some oppinions on this problem i m facing ( i know is not valheim related but someone here might more advanced in network can help me) so my wi fi router don t connect to mobile phones or laptop/ but if i add ethernet cable to the same router diretly to the laptop i have no problem) thoughts on this ?

[drowsy bane]

When feeding chicken seeds, do I drop stacks? or should I drop individual seeds?

[mortal yacht]

what would you say is the best way to level elemental magic?

do the|| vines from the staff of the wild|| give me xp when they hit stuff?

[hollow mantle]

Stacks is fine. But depending on how you have your setup, you may need to spend some time to figure out how much feed you need to drop to get the optimal feed:egg ratio. Like in our setup we have a breeding coup that will accommodate 2 hens and up to 8 eggs, so I never drop more than 8 feed, because they'll just eat it all and not produce more (but if I drop less than 8 then they don't produce as many eggs (that said, they don't always produce all 8 even with 8 feed)).

[drowsy bane]

Eh, sounds like work. I thought I could have chickens and leave them lol. Would have been good with a feeding through.

[open coyote]

Is there a trick to getting all of an ancient armor etc to break apart when you disconnect it from the ground? Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't

[hollow mantle]

It's actually not too bad - to start with I would just chuck them a bunch of feed and see how many eggs they produced, then I just reduced the feed amount over time. So just chuck them a load, leave them a while, wait for them to eat all the feed, then count up the eggs. After that just drop an amount of food equal to the amount of eggs they will produce.

[quasi arrow]

So I’m trying to join a server I just started using Val host. I’m playing off Xbox and struggling to join

Never mind. Found a work around

[sudden galleon]

staff of fracturation, more hit by staff use

[mortal yacht]

do you know if the hits of the vines give me xp?

[sudden galleon]

i have a skill lvl up on the projectile but i never notice on vines hit 🫤

[stuck jasper]

||If I upgrade a weapon from the Ashlands, will it keep its level if I use a gemstone to enchant it?||

[mortal yacht]

no

[stuck jasper]

thanks

[ebon niche]

can i mine those gigantic stone structures in the plains to get stone?

[sudden galleon]

yup

[ebon niche]

how high do i need to raise floor so that blobs can't jump over it

using raise floor as wall

[open coyote]

when a boat dies do all the contents go into crates?

[warm drum]

Uh, if I have like boars in my feild of carrots when they're grown will they just eat them out of the ground? Tamed boars??

[sudden galleon]

nope

[lilac coyote]

They won't starve though.

[warm drum]

Okay so something else ruined my crops 😓

[true steeple]

Enemies will attack any crops they can see

[sudden galleon]

yea you need to enclose your crops

[true steeple]

Do you have a fence around them? Enemies will see through fences.

[warm drum]

Yeah they're fenced in, on an island

Its tamed piggies hanging in there cus I ran outta room.. small island

[true steeple]

Build a stake wall to replace the fence so enemies can’t see inside

[warm drum]

Yeah it's got that and torches all around it but the crops poofed

Maybe something with the saving idk nothing should be near them but the tamed piggies

[hollow mantle]

All the crops?

[warm drum]

All the crops

[hollow mantle]

huh

[normal fern]

hi, why my friends joined my server and stuck in this Point of view? like spectator?

[twilit ocean]

Hey there, my friends an i are are running an ashlands server but we are unable to login. Not only that we are all unable to log into our single player games. Is this a known issue? i havent been able to find a fix online for it. I am not the server host but ill try to get more info from them.

[sudden galleon]

you runing mod ?

[slow matrix]

i get stuttering when moving in the black forest and meadows. I have tried every tip there is and nothing has worked. Any ideas? 3070ti, i9-12900, 32gb 3600mhz, 1tb sdd

[dapper cradle]

what is the best way to find a mountain biome?

[mighty tendon]

reduce shadow quality

[hollow mantle]

Look for a mountain. They’re kinda hard to miss… but generally speaking the further you go from world centre (where you drop in at the very start), the more prevalent the later biomes are.

[compact heath]

have a good look around, you can see the silhouettes from very far away when sailing

[dapper cradle]

literaly evry single mountain i found are the worst mountains

[compact heath]

RNG be like that, sometimes I only find good ones as well

[slow matrix]

even on the lowest settings it still stutters

[mighty tendon]

may be something external interferign with valheim? like a very RAM dependant background program or something

[slow matrix]

it is whenever the garbage collection happens

[somber valley]

1873862176 has a frozen lake. 1878904156 as well. And 1860125318 as well.

[heavy roost]

Is there a certain spawn critera for the scrypts because me and my friend have searched three different swamps and there hasnt been ONE

[quartz cairn]

look for larger swamps.

[heavy roost]

hmmmm

[hollow mantle]

That is literally all there is to it, I believe. Based on what I've seen in-game, they have to be a certain distance from the edge of the biome, but then it's basically random. There's probably a minimum seperation distance too, but if so it's pretty small. So the larger the swamp, the greater the chance of there being at least one.

[shut mica]

i have no problems parrying stone golems, but for some reason when a friend is near, the stagger duration on parry is like 0.5 seconds, what the heck? bug or feature?

[drowsy bane]

I tried dropping seeds with my chickens, by they arent eating them. A whole day went by and the dropped stacks still had 10 each. How come?

[shy shard]

How many did you drop and how many were left at the end ?

Its possible the chickens aren't laying eggs because there's too many of them in a given space

[dire hamlet]

Golems has 2 different attacks, one only shortly staggers it if parried and the other has a long stagger duration 🙂

Make it 4 different attacks if you count the 2 variants of golems, but both has 1 attack that causes a long stagger if parried and one short

[ancient stump]

Hey, I need some help. My friend had a dedicated server and he tried installing mods on his game. I don't know if it's because of that or if it is because my game just updated, but I'm not being able to connect to his server now. I'm on pc xbox game pass and he's on steam

Any idea why this would happen?

[vagrant bobcat]

The blunt smash into the ground hurts af

100 dmg on hard difficulty... i can parry only the lighter attack

The blunt type of golem seems harder than with the spike

[drowsy bane]

@shy shard I figured out it was because they were roaming outside the coop. I made a chicken coop, in a fenced in area. Appearntly they have to be inside at all time

[fringe sundial]

Double check that you are both on the same game version as each distributor(steam, game pass, Xbox, ect.) can be a slightly different version, especially so when not using the distributor (ie both using steam). Otherwise, it may have something to do with the mods, as that is often what breaks the game for people.

[small vapor]

After the new patch, my friends cannot connect to the server. Could this have something to do with the new patch?

[fringe sundial]

If his game is a different version than the server, yes.

[small vapor]

So what should I do?

But when I start a new server, friends cannot connect.

[hollow mantle]

Are there any workarounds/solutions to lag in Ashlands?

My two friends and I played a little last night. We’ve all been kinda busy of late so hadn’t played much for a while. Decided to explore a little more of the newest biome. And we got a lot of lag. Mobs would teleport around, and sometimes weren’t even visible, making it a frustrating experience and near impossible to play.

I fear one or both of them will give up on the game entirely.

With one or two of us on, it seems mostly ok. Though still not great at times. But when all three of us are playing… horrible.

All other biomes are fine.

Is there anything we can do to improve the situation?

[subtle parrot]

Sounds like a possible networking issue, if it works better with only 2 of you, find the odd man out and see if they're having some network lag or something.

[fringe sundial]

Check with each player and see what their version is. After that, figure out if you can roll the server back to the oldest version among your player group, and have everyone do the same so everyone matches.

I unfortunately don't know if it is possible or not to do a version roll back, but I would assume so (just don't know how).

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I thought about that but it doesn’t matter which of us is not on. And 2 is only a little better. Also Ashlands is the only biome in which this happens.

We’ve had de-syncing in other biomes, but never teleporting/invisible mobs.

[fringe sundial]

My guess regarding lag in the ashlands:

The ashlands haze effect I assume is likely the culprit, but without extensive testing, I can't say for sure. I would assume a "whole biome" visual effect would be like terraforming a small amount across the entire place.

The reason the mists doesn't suffer(as much), is likely because they are in Bubbles across the biome, rather than the entire biome.

[charred basalt]

Hi there, i've got an old save from 2021 (ver 0.202.14) and duet o changes in generation when i open the save i no longer see the same map that it was, it's like its generated a new one erasing everything that was there. i was wondering if its possible to somehow access it still?

[fringe sundial]

If it was saved to local storage, it might be usable if you run that same version of the game, but all cloud saves will attempt to update to current and possibly corrupt old map seeds.

[hollow mantle]

Huh. Hadn't considered that. I think I read somewhere that it could be disabled... 🤔

[elfin portal]

hi

i have problem i cant start server to play the game on my pc .

its always valhaim.exe is not responding

[quartz cairn]

if it's the first time you load that world for ashlands update, you have to wait a couple of minutes (world update takes time).

[elfin portal]

version 0.218.19

ty its working now

[ancient estuary]

So I have taken over a charred fortress and I'm attempting to get into the center tower. In videos on YT, everyone just digs a small hole to go under the wall, but when I started digging, the wall continues down. Should I build a battering ram to break the door down, or do I have other options?

[quartz cairn]

battering ram, the digging under does not work anymore

[ancient estuary]

Dang, that's what I thought

[sudden galleon]

you can always get the mat back when you use the batery ram

[daring galleon]

hello, my friend got a problem that in valhaim his mouse and keyboard not working alt+tab offcourse works and also in windows everything works but in valheim not,.. i have not this problem and we are on same server, he has no other controllers and tried verify steam data and now he is reinstaling, anyone have similar problem,.. thank you for any answer

[sleek yoke]

Is there any way to farm blueberries & raspberries? Or do I just need to find them out exploring?

[solar badger]

Find them, they aren't replantable

[cerulean lake]

Is anyone getting some strange 30 fps cap on RTX GPUs?

[hollow mantle]

Nope.

[cerulean lake]

That's very strange. I can't seem to go higher than 44 fps

I used to run the game at 180 fps when I previously had a GTX 1070 (Now I have an RTX 4060ti)

[hollow mantle]

I’m using a 4070 and have never seen 180fps outside of loading screens.

[cerulean lake]

Is every graphic settings maxed on your side?

[hollow mantle]

Yep

[cerulean lake]

That might sound stupid because I would think everything can be maxed out but yeah

[hollow mantle]

But honestly even if I drop everything to low, it doesn’t boost the fps that much.

Valheim is more CPU-bound.

[cerulean lake]

I have the same CPU (Ryzen 5 3600) since I changed my GPU. It used to work perfectly with it before

[fringe sundial]

And that factor is why (cpu heavy) I will be upgrading to a i7 once windows 10 dies...been running a old i5 up to now.

[stiff rivet]

any one having some heavy usage on the gpu since the patch today?

[cerulean lake]

Nop

[stiff rivet]

I have an RTX 3080ti and huh

it's taking up to 97% on loading screens

ingame it wont go lower than 95%

only started happening since the patch

and as such it heats up the pc considerably

[cerulean lake]

What's your CPU?

Might just be related to the latest update but I'm curious

[stiff rivet]

rtx 3080ti

[cerulean lake]

That's a GPU not a CPU

[stiff rivet]

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

[cerulean lake]

Well that definitely should be the latest update

[stiff rivet]

the game is not affecting my cpu any more than usual

[austere badger]

Quick question is anyone having issues when loading a server an the game crashing? If so anyone any idea's on how to solve it

[sudden galleon]

you running mod on that server ?

[jovial marten]

yup me and 2 other people cant load into server

[loud linden]

It happens to the best of us. Just let Server know that it's not her fault and maybe get breakfast together.

[whole fox]

guys , I ve just bought the game 2 minutes ago , after creating my character and start the game , my game crashed n the loading screen , wtf

[ancient estuary]

Ya, I figured out that you can break the ram with an axe.

[quartz cairn]

give a few mins to load (generating world)

[whole fox]

Thanks it works

[fathom badge]

When loading a world that's already generated it should go pretty quickly. It's only on new worlds and worlds being updated by a major patch (like when Ashlands was first released) do you typically run into that situation.

[austere badger]

I can join my friends just not my own its strange

[austere badger]

I dont have mods to much chew on to deal with lol

[frozen canyon]

Hello! I changed our preset from "Normal" to "Hard" and now, Deathskitoes which would hardly deal any damage to me is literally one shotting me

Is it normal, or is it because it's next to Yagluth (he has spawned but we haven't defeated it yet)?

[fathom badge]

That's pretty much normal. Hard mode makes enemies do 150% damage, and players only do 85% of their normal damage. Enemies are also 10% larger and faster.

[frozen canyon]

Damn, and normal makes it 100% everywhere, and no speed buff?

Too bad that there is no in between, I had 130HP, full iron armot set maxed, and I still got one shotted 😂

[hollow mantle]

Is there an Easy? 🤣

[fathom badge]

TBF, that's a two-biome skip of enemies. You would ideally be in silver armor against deathsquitos. As an aside, a root harnesk would help a ton, and they would likely just tickle, even in hard mode.

[fathom badge]

There is 😉 When you load up your character but before you load the world, check the "World Modifiers" button for the world. You can set all kinds of options.

[frozen canyon]

Aw, that's why

[frozen canyon]

The thing is, nothing explains if we are skipping a biome or not, it's just in our way while exploring

So we almost skipped the mountains with my friends, as normal mode is quite easy

[hollow mantle]

I was being facetious…

[frozen canyon]

What about wolves / golems? We returned to our mountain biome in normal difficulty, the wolves two-bites me, and the golem one shotted me as well

I think we were in easy mode before 😂 Here is my stuff

[fathom badge]

Wolves have always been very strong, and golems as well. Your armor looks like a loadout to head into the mountains with, but Hard means you need to Git Gud(tm). Lots more rolling, situational awareness, and just great knowledge about the game and enemies. I have over 1200 hours in the game, and I don't play on hard 😛

[frozen canyon]

I put it back to "normal" on G-Portal though!

That's why I don't understand how they are that strong, and that's what made me understand that we were on easy mode before

[fathom badge]

You need to restart the server when changing those settings, perhaps you haven't since setting it back lower? I'm not 100% on how g-portal does things.

[frozen canyon]

I'm kind of good at games, so I know how to perfect parry, dodge and stuff, but I can't deal with multiple monsters like that

[frozen canyon]

G-Portal does it on its own when you save settings

My preset is also on hard, could it be the reason?

[fathom badge]

Yeah, wolves in general will get you. Even in iron armor at normal mode, they can 2-3 shot you.

[frozen canyon]

But I don't get it, I tried to perfect parry it and it made me staggered, not the opposite

How are we supposed to fight like that? 😂 And I'm talking about 1 wolf

[fathom badge]

Yeah, parrying isn't magic. It depends on the damage the enemy would do vs your shield parry armor. Even if you time it right, if it does too much damage it can stagger you and go through the shield. In harder difficulties you need to dodge-roll, parrying is basically useless.

[frozen canyon]

What about normal? Is a maxed iron mace not enough to parry a single wolf?

[fathom badge]

Mace isn't, no. You'd want an iron buckler or a banded shield at least, I think those should be able to parry wolf attacks.

[frozen canyon]

I will check that, thanks

[frozen canyon]

The mace block damage is 45 though, while the iron bucklet is 30 (sorry for the French)

It is way less than the wolves' damages

We aren't able to recover our items in this difficulty

While I do want to fight in that difficulty, it seems near impossible even with a maxed armor set from the previous biome...

Our world preset was on hard, I am checking if putting it back to normal makes it a bit easier 🙂

Okay, with the world preset and the combat modifier in normal, it is harder than before but acceptable, thanks!

[fathom badge]

The iron buckler should be from 28 up to 40, depending on the upgrade level, and then that is multiplied by the parry bonus (2.5x on bucklers) so the buckler when parrying can block from 70 to 100 damage. The iron mace as listed should have 21 block, and a 2x parry bonus so up to 42 damage blocked no matter the upgrade level. But I'm just going off of the wiki values.

[frozen canyon]

Ohhh, I see! That's indeed way better, I wasn't understanding haha, thank you 🙂

[fathom badge]

Yeah. The "Block Force" is knockback, basically. It's not related to the actual damage blocked.

[potent jackal]

Quick question, is there a reason to buy the mac version over steam? The game is only 50% off on steam at the moment.

[fathom badge]

Nope. All versions are functionally identical. The reason to get Steam instead would be if you have both a Mac and PC for gaming and might want to play it on both.

Or just to keep your games all in your Steam library

[potent jackal]

So if I had the steam version on a macbook, the performance would be equivalent to that of the mac one?

[fathom badge]

Yes, they are identical as far as all that is concerned.

[potent jackal]

Perfect, thank you

[finite cosmos]

Is there any fix for Valheim killing my internet connection ?

[finite cosmos]

Found a solution myself... nvm

Open Steam Settings > In-Game
Change "Browser Pings / Minute" to it's lowest value (250)

[verbal geode]

Hey, does anyone know why I'm not level 5?
EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS

[real nebula]

You seem to be missing an upgrade

I can see the spice rack, butcher table and pots & pans, you're missing the mortar and pestle for 5*

[potent hinge]

hi I started playing Valheim again and it takes at least 30 minutes for me to look for any forest

[verbal geode]

look

[sudden galleon]

well it look like you got a tower shield.. you cant parry with a tower shield

[frozen canyon]

I tried to parry it with my mace haha

[sudden galleon]

better to parry with a shield... if the dammage is higher then your parry you will stager

[real nebula]

Ah, there it is. Check that particle connection to the other upgrades, make sure that they're all close enough to be connected

[true steeple]

What food were you using when you tried parrying it? You need very high max health to parry with a 1h weapon.

Wolves have very low max health so if you want to stagger them you might be able to do it just by attacking them. You also wont need to unequip your tower shield to do that.

[thorn spire]

I don't see the particle connection to the butcher table now. It might be too far.

[verbal geode]

Ok thanks🔥

I will check this tomorrow

[real kayak]

Hi

When i joined with my friend server i saw this and he disconnected me , how can i fix that ?

[frozen canyon]

I made a silver shield, it should be enough to parry them, I will try rolling more during their dodging pattern to hit them safely 💪

[frozen canyon]

I had around 110 health and 130 energy, which should be enough, but it's fine now that the difficulty was set to normal and not hard!

(We were on easy at the start, which was wayyyy too easy, I complained after defeating the third boss with 0 health lost)

[fringe sundial]

I would assume that's a warning that your connection to the server is bad. How you fix it would take a lot of troubleshooting, best asked here:https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[open coyote]

is there anything you can do to be sturdier and not get knocked back so far when parrying certain heavy atacks?

[fringe sundial]

The more your max hp is and the higher your armor rating, the less likely you are to be staggered or moved back...I believe. "Block force" is what bounces you or an enemy away.

[open coyote]

i'm never close to staggered, IJ ust mean teh phyically pushed back part so it's hard to even capitalize on the vuln window

[fringe sundial]

I am not sure if there is a exact counter to enemy block force.

Or knock back* for a more correct term.

[compact heath]

get the best 3 health foods and the highest armour rating, you will not have much stamina though

[real kayak]

thx man

[open coyote]

so HP helps from being pushed back from attacks?

i'm not talking about stagger ofc

[potent hinge]

I can no longer play Valheim as soon as I start a game it charges infinitely

i would need help plz

[compact heath]

it stay on blackscreen and says its not responding?

if that is the case, that happens when a world is first loaded or first time after ashlands update, and you will have to be patient, it can take 10mins for it to load, youhave to just click "wait for the program to respond" sorry if its a different issue to what I think

[potent hinge]

it spins endlessly

[silk pond]

Hello! can I ask here a question about the biome "mountain"?

[hollow mantle]

Seems like the right place.

[silk pond]

thanks! I can not found the dungeons of this biome. I n

I know the game is random but I was wondering if the dungeon can be under the snow

I just wanna know if someone had the same issue

[tiny violet]

Mountain caves are a huge pain in the ass. even when I knew where they were via seed map, they were hard to see. many mountains have none. some have many. the amount of material to make the armor set requires a LOT of caves in my experience. big pain in the ass

[compact heath]

relatively hard to find, much harder than burial chambers or sunken crypts, could google a picture to help you maybe?

[silk pond]

yeah! i used a seed map too and it say a have a dungeon in every mountain I walked through

[tiny violet]

did you play on this world and that mountain years ago? before the mountain cave update? if you had already explored that area before the update- then the cave will not spawn

[silk pond]

I founded one in the first mountain so I know how they look but thanks

[silk pond]

I play since two month ago and it is the first world I created

[open coyote]

is there a way to back up without holding block?

[silk pond]

And the mountains I explored was not explored before

[subtle parrot]

Not specifically, without holding block you'll just turn around and walk away

[solid heart]

Why I cant build here whenever I build something I breaks ( I'm new)

[open coyote]

exactly yeah

[subtle parrot]

There's structural support limitations

[solid heart]

So how can I cover that up?

[open coyote]

being able to back up without blocking seems important, I notice an error I make is I back up and time parries as if I can just let go of block and then parry, but there is a huge "lowering shield" animation that screws up the timing for me. but if I don't block, then I am not facing the right way to parry (there is a delay with me turning)

[subtle parrot]

Try putting vertical beams at the 4 corners of the opening all the way from the floor to the roof and then place horizontal beams around the opening and then try to place the peak

[subtle parrot]

I have only this game for reference in parrying tbh, so it's all I know

[silk pond]

@tiny violet I found one. You don't know how happy I am. i don't care if it is super small XD

[tiny violet]

nice! good work, good luck

[open coyote]

do we know what the common causes of stuttering are in ashlands? I usually get 140fps but it's sometimes choppy... I thought maybe the ton of logs going around needing physics but I chopped them all up and it's still janky... what do we know so far?

[pliant lodge]

i saw someone say earlier that the smoke/mist/atmospheric conditions may have an impact, owing to their being particle effects

[sly parrot]

is it possible to plant oak trees?

[shrewd sedge]

If you're lucky enough to get oak tree saplings acorns , yes

[sly parrot]

so there is a chance though?

[shrewd sedge]

Yep. There is a small chance you'll get 2-3 acorns from every oak tree you chop down, but I think you have to be really lucky for that to happen

[mighty wharf]

Hi folks, love the game. Any group or chat that is the best if I search for a party to go to Ashlands?

yes one to the right next to carrot is ur carrot seed plant

[hollow heron]

ohhhh yes im an idiot sorry

no problem . problem solved

@hollow heron keep it at mind evry plant works same theres "fruit plant" and theres "seed plant"

[hollow heron]

thank you

[frail rover]

@hollow heron ur wlcome

[gloomy yarrow]

Huntsman bow or draugr fang vs modder?

[frail rover]

drauger fang would be better due to plus poison but u can also melee it its not that hard

[true steeple]

If you have spare materials you can make a draugr fang but even a finewood bow is good enough

It’s best to have melee and ranged weapons for moder. Use melee when she lands and a bow when she’s flying.

[compact heath]

Draugr fang and obsidian or needle arrows

[serene tangle]

Huntsman bow gives ~10% more damage per stamina (but 15% less dps), bow fight with her is limited by stamina...
So you can go with whatever you have at higher level.

[hollow mantle]

Not strictly true. This applies to the early biome veg plants. But plants from later biomes work differently. Some don’t have ‘fruit plant’ and ‘seed plant’ (they are one and the same), and one doesn’t even need replanting (it just periodically produces both fruit and seed).

[solemn cape]

can i play multiplayer with mods without a dedicated server or do i need to rent out a private server for mods

[vagrant bobcat]

Im playing with 1 mod (torch eternal) on my server and works fine

But i think u have to be owner of the server?

[solemn cape]

oh i see, will i need to creat a new world if i add a mod such as plant everything?

and how exactly r u addint mods? nexus mods or r2modman

[sudden galleon]

you dont need to creat a new world if you want to add a mod

[solemn cape]

and how should i add the mods

[buoyant peak]

R2modman

[crude ermine]

do day wraiths bug out or something? I was sailing and it wouldnt stop following me. followed me for almost a day

it was like the game was like "time to change the rules"

pretty fking dumb

hands down the most bs experience ive had in valheim

[buoyant peak]

Things despawn when outside of view.

It's always been that way

[crude ermine]

wait so do you have enemies just follow you until the ends of the earth? i dont. they usually give up after traveling a certain distance

[buoyant peak]

Probably depends on the enemy.

Others are more relentless

[crude ermine]

doesnt make sense. ive been in the same situation multiple times and its never played out this way

[solemn cape]

if i want to play modded valheim do i need to own a server or?

or can i just use the servers u make in the game

[buoyant peak]

That's just the game's way of vibe checking you into seeing how AI is in the game...

Certainly not the most consistent or smartest

[crude ermine]

wtf is a vibe check

sry dude nothing is making any sense to me rn

[buoyant peak]

Make you find out about how you feel about something.

In this case, the game's essentially opening your eyes into seeing how it actually is

[crude ermine]

uh i dont think the game can do that

[buoyant peak]

See this build?

#valheim-help message

I've seen the AI having severe pathfinding issues in those stone stairs and not being able to climb them up after reaching the penultimate pair of stairs, it's like there was an invisible wall forbidding them from walking up further.

There's literally nothing there that should stop them from going up... And it still messes up with their pathfinding

[buoyant peak]

It's a way of speaking, the game won't literally do it, but you were presented with a situation that contradicts its usual behaviour...because the whole game can be very inconsistent.

[crude ermine]

only difference is wraith spawned in the day as apposed to the ones that appear at night. saling -> wraith follow-> never stop. like no differential factors to consider

[buoyant peak]

You sure it didn't spawn right before day started (when it was still night)?

[crude ermine]

100% sure

middle of the day

[buoyant peak]

They can also spawn near some swamp houses, but idk about the spawn rules in those cases. If it could be day as well

[crude ermine]

yeah those are the only ones that appear in the day

[buoyant peak]

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

Oh look, yes they do.

Your hunter wraith must've been a house wraith

And don't despawn even during day, because they can spawn even at day

[crude ermine]

what am i looking for here?

doesnt say anything about unique behavior

i guess not a lot of people know about day wraiths

apparently called house wraiths

still doesnt explain abnormal behavior

just random bull i guess

so dumb

[buoyant peak]

By abnormal behaviour I assume you mean relentlessly chasing you?

[crude ermine]

i mean its never happened before

in 1800hs

and yeah

does no one seriously think this is wack af?

i mean if id known i would imediately gone to shore and just killed the pos

[jolly elk]

Solo game or server? Using mods? This happened only one time and never again? Try verifying your game files with your Steam GUI.

[crude ermine]

solo no mod one time so far

how would i even know if veryfying is gonna change anything unless i try and recreate the same conditions?

[jolly elk]

Verifying your game files is free and easy and would fix any corruption(s), no matter how small, your game might pick up over time. There's no reason to not do it, really.

[crude ermine]

seems unlikely but if you say so

man this game must fking hate me... do seekers have increased perception outside of the mists? i have a sneak lvl of like 80+ and they are tracking me down from outside vision range.

maybe i should just try a quick verify

nope, nothing changed. no idea what is going on

[jolly elk]

Type listkeys in your F5 console to see if there's anything weird going on with your world keys. And, switch to a new world for a while and see if that has the same problems.

[steel thorn]

is it advised to go into the mountains as soon as you have iron, or fight the boss in the swamp first?

[jolly elk]

Personlly, I'd fight Bonemass first. For the exp and his trophy's boss power.

[crude ermine]

have you been in the mountain before and do you care about strats that contain mild spoilers?

[slender drum]

Hey all. I’m having an issue with save syncing. My steam deck is syncing the save fine and my desktop downloads it and reflects the save time correctly and when I load the save on desktop my char is in the same place but the structure I was working on doesn’t have any of the pieces I added to it. I can save on desktop. Resync and load on steam deck and all the parts are there again

[jolly elk]

Are you saving your world and character files in the cloud or locally?

[slender drum]

In the cloud

[steel thorn]

I don't mind mild spoilers. I know the boss has a good power but I never looked up what it does tho. I heard people go into the mountains in troll gear as soon as they have the iron pickaxe so I was just wondering

I only been to the edge of the mountains before I had the frost mead. I turned back once the debuff ticked

[jolly elk]

It sounds like there may be some delay or lag in Steam's process of saving the files in it's cloud. Maybe give it more time or even do a separate save before leaving your world.

[crude ermine]

sometimes you can find silver sticking out of the ground if youre lucky but you can also farm mats for frost arrows which some people like to use against bone mass. i usually just do shield and iron mace.

getting obsidion also lets you upgrade your bench another level so you could get a root set to 4 if that appeals

[steel thorn]

both obsidian and silver are found in the mountains?

[crude ermine]

yes

looking for silver is time consuming and risky though

[crude ermine]

what is this f5 consol? nothing happens when i hit f5

[slender drum]

It’s just weird that it updates where my character is

[jolly elk]

Go to your Steam Library and right click Valheim and put -console in the launch options.

[honest frigate]

what do i do after getting the coipper ore how dfo i find a smelter

[steel thorn]

so, I was sailing around a landmass to reach the bonemass altar when i stopped to make a campfire. Aparently plains are nearby and fuling ran up to me. I killed it and got a blackmetal scrap. Can I do anything with it at this point?

[crude ermine]

you need to defeat the next boss after the one youre on to do anything with it

[sudden galleon]

you need sturling core for the smelter and the kiln, the core can be found in tomb in black forrest

[honest frigate]

ah ok thanks

[fathom badge]

You will probably need multiple Burial Chambers to find enough. There's one nearby when you find a group of 3 skeletons randomly in the forest (not in a stone ruins structure)

[honest frigate]

how deep in ythe chamber is the sturling core?

[steel thorn]

thanks

[fathom badge]

You should explore the whole thing. They are randomly generated dungeons. I personally follow the left-hand rule for solving mazes, just follow the left side of a wall going down every passage and doorway, and that should basically guarantee you explore the whole thing.

[honest frigate]

how do i find a dungeon

[crude ermine]

says listkeys is not valid in the current context. tried with dash and says not recognized command

[fathom badge]

Burial Chambers are the dungeons in the Black Forest. It looks like a doorway into the underground, refer back to what I said about random groups of skeletons hanging around the entrances.

[honest frigate]

ok thanks!

[fathom badge]

The you probably need to type in devcommands

[twilit ocean]

No mods to my knowledge

[crude ermine]

is there any known method for recovering iron nails if your long boat gets destroyed at sea?

[sudden galleon]

vanila no

[crude ermine]

right...

so dumb man...

[nocturne fable]

Try jumping from a really high point xd

[crude ermine]

no points to jump from at sea

[nocturne fable]

true haha

[sudden galleon]

dont destroy your ship at sea 🤭 😂

[crude ermine]

wow dud thats super helpful thx

[fathom badge]

Nails sink 😉 Unfortunately that's just how it is. Bronze nails too, and the hides. I believe every boat has pieces that will sink irrecoverably if destroyed in deep water.

[fringe sundial]

Most materials besides wood will sink.

[crude ermine]

why no diving skill

[fringe sundial]

You could get them back with -console and devcommands, but most people would call that cheating since it isn't totally vanilla.

[crude ermine]

i might actually do that cause i think the gargo sank too and the wraith that wouldnt stop chasing me really seemed to be bugged

i cant believe the boxes can be destroyed

[fathom badge]

Devs don't want it. It's been suggested many times before.

[crude ermine]

why does it say dev commands are not recommended and done at own risk and that seems really dumb

[fringe sundial]

In case you aren't familiar with enabling them: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console

[fathom badge]

Because spawning certain things in or doing some commands can make your world unplayable to the state that you can only restore from backups.

[crude ermine]

jfc

you know what fk this. im just not gonna play this game for like a month

[fathom badge]

It's just warning you that what you're doing could be dangerous if you're not careful. It's not a guarantee. Think of it like the "warranty void if you remove this sticker" type thing.

[crude ermine]

too fking frustrating

[fringe sundial]

If you enabled devcommands and debugmode, you could just spawn the boat.

I believe the default key for "no build cost" is "b".

[fathom badge]

Sure. Lots of ways around it, but part of it is also that the game is designed to be hard. It is designed to reward being prepared and cautious when venturing into the unknown, and punish you harshly if you go headfirst into danger.

[fringe sundial]

I have done plenty of being dumb before.

[crude ermine]

yeah i know. i had a very lengthy conversation with keanu about a house wraith that wouldnt stop following me and i dont wanna repeat it.

[fringe sundial]

Lots of nightly romps into biomes I wasn't prepared for.

[crude ermine]

game needs to have a certain degree of consistency to not feel like bs and when random sht just happens like someone changed the rules its a waste of time

im over it

its like someone telling you you suddenly cant breath oxygen

dumb af

[runic olive]

Is there any easy way to have an idea about where the closest Swamp is after beating Elder?

[fringe sundial]

If you don't mind "cheating",there is a map that you can upload your world data into and it will show you everything you select.

Online* I think it's in the pinned messages.

[thorn spire]

otherwise, just sail around and look for it. chances are you need to find the traders as well.

[fringe sundial]

Skirting the shores helps find new biomes and tell their rough size.

[hollow mantle]

Not sure what is inconsistent about “if your boat breaks, stuff sinks”…

[crude ermine]

thats because youre too lazy to find the op

[hollow mantle]

I read the entire conversation.

[crude ermine]

then you wouldnt type that

[hollow mantle]

You got attacked by a wraith. It wrecked your boat. And your cargo. Right?

[granite kestrel]

is it possible to see dungeons in the mistalnds on a online map? not sure what they are called there

[crude ermine]

are you leaving out the entire aspect of enemy agro mechanics that was the main issue of the conversation?

[fringe sundial]

Yes. It is one of the selectable options.

[hollow mantle]

Nope. Still not seeing the inconsistency.

[crude ermine]

k

[brazen widget]

Hey guys, comming back to valheim after a long break, i have a problem with graphics, the grass is super blurred, anyone also has this?

i am sure it was not that blurry half a year ago

[fringe sundial]

@granite kestrel Look for dungeons/infested mines.

[granite kestrel]

Thanks, let me check

burrows?

[fringe sundial]

That might be a "visual" setting like cromatic (something) or Depth of field.

[granite kestrel]

Not burows nvm

[brazen widget]

tried turning both off, still blurry

[hollow mantle]

What you should be taking away from this is that if you’re at sea, you get attacked, and you can’t outrun them, then you should make a b-line for the nearest safe shore (and know where that is), and hope you get there. Or be prepared to fight for your stuff.

[granite kestrel]

thanks!!

[crude ermine]

dude in 1800hs of play enemies have had a 100% disengage rate after traveling a certain distance but thx for the after the fact that really makes everything better

[fringe sundial]

Odd. Keep playing with the visual settings in game and if nothing works, check to see if your video drivers are up to date...otherwise I'm out of advice.

[brazen widget]

will try to reinstall valheim maybe too

[hollow mantle]

If you thought it was bugged that’s all the more reason to not risk your boat and all its cargo.

[crude ermine]

how do you figure out its bugged until its too late to take appropriate measures

[fringe sundial]

Or try checking file integrity, that's the last thing I can think, but I doubt it would help.

[hollow mantle]

How do you know it was bugged if you didn’t have long enough to take appropriate measures?

[crude ermine]

cause the wind changed when i decided to deal with it and i didnt have what i needed to get the boat to safety in time

and i didnt know it was bugged

[hollow mantle]

So you’re now assuming it was?

[crude ermine]

no way to be certain but it followed me farther than any wraith has in the past

usually the long boat will tank it before it disengages

what is this fking court of law or something

who are you

[hollow mantle]

Just someone trying to understand why you’re this apparently upset about it.

[crude ermine]

because if you cant rely on 1800hrs of experience what is the point of trying to develop a skill set

like how are you supposed to trust anything

im now in a position where i have to recover about 5-6 hrs worth of items because of incosistancy

and to be honest i dont need you to understand

whats that gonna do for anyone

[hollow mantle]

I was going to try to help you, which necessitates understanding. But I can see now that you don’t want that.

Which is fine. I hear you. And I empathise.

I had the game crash on me the other day. Lost a bunch of stuff. It sucked.

[crude ermine]

there is no way to help me in a situation that has no solution but thanks for the effort

but i can assure you that the next time a house wraith desides to bother me while sailing i will eat my food and make for the shore to deal with it. that does nothing for my current situation though

[hollow mantle]

I’d possibly do what the others have suggested - use dev commands to get your stuff back (perhaps make a separate world, spawn the stuff there, and then take it across).

[crude ermine]

i didnt see a command to spawn a specific item only sets. maybe i missed it. do you know what it is?

[hollow mantle]

I do not. Sorry.

[crude ermine]

ok thx for the help

[sly parrot]

without spoiling much whats the best wepon for fighting soldur ants?

[brazen widget]

okay guys, i see some asks like this on internet, but no responses there either. Maybe it is normal? Can you tall me if grass looking like that is normal or not? On the left its very blurry, but on the right there are non-blurry patches too

[thorn spire]

jumping on rocks.

[brazen widget]

You need to zoom in pic

[crude ermine]

id also be interested in other peoples opinions since soldiers have phys resistance but in my experience frostner seems to hold up remarkably well in mistlands in general

[fringe sundial]

Depends on how you play. Anything magic would work well. Otherwise, Anything that isn't pierce damage.

[hollow mantle]

Is it not ‘spawn [entity name]’?

[fringe sundial]

The wiki has a list of item ID(s). Also if you pull up the item in a general search, it should list the ID under the items picture.

[crude ermine]

yes sir! that works. thank sweet jesus. you just saved me an massive amount of time and frustration

[hollow mantle]

You’re welcome. 🙂

[steel thorn]

pretty sure this is normal. My grass looks similar and I only started playing 2 weeks ago for the first time. Try turning motion blur off as well? but im not sure that affects grass. I think its an intentional style choice to make the grass look fluffy and dense

[brazen widget]

i just did some research, they changed SSAO to more "resource friendly" like 3 months ago and its fucked up since

Before we could just turn off SSAO, but now if you turn it off, you get something even worse

[steel thorn]

ah, i never played with it off so I wouldnt have known though.

If you want performance though, chromatic aberration, depth of field, and motion blur are big fps loss culprits. But the biggest is shadows. I gained 20 fps by putting shadows on medium

[chrome crescent]

Killing Fader doesnt trigger any raids/spawns right? Wiki says it doesnt but before i try it on a server with friends who are mostly builders I wanna double check :p

[compact heath]

Correct, it will trigger some Deep North raids once that biome is released

[chrome crescent]

Ah, ok but then ill have a go tonight maybe haha, wish me luck :p

[lime drum]

how to rotate spawned entities with dev commands?

Aaaaand. How to spawn entities permanently inside trader runes?? Thank you all

[fringe sundial]

I believe you would need mods to build within haldor or hildir's bubble. I am not sure what you mean by "rotate spawned entities" but spawning things is easy if you enable the developer's console:
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console?so=search

[ashen olive]

do boats float away if I leave them in the water?

[fringe sundial]

If you came to a complete stop, they shouldn't unless they get pushed by a mob or something.

[ashen olive]

oh nice

so putting wooden poles in the water to block it was pointless lol

[fringe sundial]

Meh, if you are making a dock, it will look more realistic.

On second thought, if you leave the sails open, it might float away...but I always slow down and paddle the last several meters to where I am going to park it, so I haven't tested if it would stop or not with sails open.

[tiny violet]

I normally ram full-spead-ahead toward the spot we want to make land, then 3-2-1, everyone jumps out and the boat halts lol

[crude ermine]

did dagger alt attack get speed increase or was skol and hati always just extra fast?

[true steeple]

Skol and hati has a different secondary animation to 1-handed knives

[crude ermine]

when you deboard a boat it will lose momentum and shouldnt move. they only drift if you are in them and have paddled or sailed.

[crude ermine]

thats cool it feels much easier to roll and dive in again. like a really agile fighting style

[true steeple]

Keep in mind that the hitbox doesn’t move up as much as the player model during the animation. Don’t try to dodge an attack by using the secondary to jump over it. Use a real jump instead.

[crude ermine]

lol thats wierd but good to know

[true steeple]

If the hitbox went up with the animation it would be one of the most op items in the game because you would be able to reach high places and dodge everything

[crude ermine]

hmm

[ashen olive]

so whats better about the lox cape compared to the wolf one? both remove the freezing debuff right?

is it just preferred style?

[crude ermine]

that and lox cape requires less silver to craft i think

[ashen olive]

ah I see

silver seems super abundant though. Once you find it that is

this one vein gave me loads

[open coyote]

Hmm, I had 240 hp and bonemass and got 1shot by a 2 star charred warrior thrust, which should "only" be 320/2 = 160 before my 104 armor... whatr could have happened there?

[ashen olive]

Hmm so I have a golem by my portal on the other side. Any way to despawn it?

Sleeping didn't work. Do I just need to wait?

[warm drum]

campfires stop spawns when lit yeah? 🤔

[ashen olive]

yeah but lighting one doesnt remove already present mobs

[warm drum]

Hm but I killed them all, put the fire down and now they're back so ehhh

[hollow mantle]

Things will still walk in from outside the no-spawn radius.

[ashen olive]

what happens to items when a mob destroys a chest? (it was a golem)

[hollow mantle]

Only by killing it.

[warm drum]

Well yeah but they're growths they only come from the pond yeah?

[hollow mantle]

All the stuff and the chest materials will be on the ground

[ashen olive]

phew

[hollow mantle]

how close to the pit did you put it?

[warm drum]

4 around the edges of it 😓

[hollow mantle]

Huh, that should be plenty. I usually leave a workbench.

[warm drum]

Yeah I'll plop one down I was just trying to use the fires so I could see too at night

[lilac coyote]

Campfires and workbenches provide the same level of spawn protection.

[warm drum]

Then why are the growths spawning anyway? 🙃

[iron quiver]

what is forge lvl7 for? ashlands items?

[lilac coyote]

It's possible you have a small area unprotected. It's easy to have small gaps.

[lilac coyote]

Some upgrades need level 7, I don't think there are any new items at that level. By Ashlands you're using the Black Forge anyway.

[warm drum]

I mean I used a workbench to make sure the rings are overlapping but I guess I'll do it again. 🫠

[ashen olive]

So whats a good way to keep golems out?

I lured it away but I don't want it to come back

[iron quiver]

golems in the mountains? just smack them with the mace special attack, should take care of them really easily

i tried avoiding them but at some point that took longer than fighting them

[ashen olive]

I mean stop them aggroing on my structures

I found a stone tower and made a little base in it, then a golem came over, and blew up half of it in 2 slam attacks

the fact that it aggros through walls sucks

[iron quiver]

could try making some holes/motes around your spot

then have walkways that dont connect but still have enough room to walk over it so the ai wont be able to pathfind over it

[ashen olive]

Is this enough for a golem? Or do I need to make it wider?

as you can see from my repairs, the golem blew out the bottom half of the tower lol

[past mural]

Are ships affected by weight?

[fathom badge]

I don't believe so, no.

[past mural]

thanks

[shell perch]

Question, how do I make a Valheim server?

[granite veldt]

Hey @shell perch , here's a guide on that: https://www.valheimgame.com/support/a-guide-to-dedicated-servers/

[hearty saffron]

anyone having this similar problem? I just suddenly got a water glitch where it just looks like an eyesore everytime the water moves and it's weirdly segmented like this.

it didnt look so bad before, it started only looking worse when i tried sailing unless they've always looked bad and only now i noticed

[humble fog]

I like your lil base

[chrome gulch]

If I start a dedicated server, can I play on the same PC?

[fringe sundial]

you should be able to,as that is what I have seen/heard others do. for more details, you might wana ask in: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[chrome gulch]

Thx

[languid locust]

just nearly went into cardiac arrest looking for beehives, what is this and should i be worried.

[dire hamlet]

it is just the old one eyed man watching over you 🙂

[floral token]

be careful, he will destroy you (jk)

[fringe sundial]

Odin. The one who sent you to valheim to begin with, and uses his 2 ravens to dispence wisdom like "don't go out at night, it's more dangerous " kinda stuff.

[languid locust]

the lore this game spreads is so valid

[open coyote]

why do I keep reading that the 2h weapons are good for blocking/parrying? their numbers are pretty bad... aren't they?

[hearty saffron]

it's a lil dock base, the main base is more inland.

[rancid marsh]

Worrrds

[open coyote]

?

[rancid marsh]

Could be a few good arguments for that

[open coyote]

like what? are the values actually fine and buckler is overkill?

[rancid marsh]

I didn’t say any of those things

[open coyote]

I did not imply you did

[rancid marsh]

Haha mkay..

I personally like a shield w me

But the cost benefit blah blah. It’s another valuable space in inventory freed up

To each their own .. lol
Hard to define a play style

[true steeple]

They have a 2x parry multiplier so they can parry most/all 0-star and some 1-star enemies from their biome, but aren't great for blocking.

[solemn cape]

I have a question about one of the mods [ not a problem just want to understand ] should i ask it here or?

The mod plant everything shows timers, some plants have red and some plants have orange names whats the difference

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion

[keen glacier]

Ships are definitely affected by weight. I've been carrying about 5,000 pounds around on my boat for my no-map/no-portal playthroughs, and boats move substantially slower when loaded like this. They also tilt in the water as carts slide around to one side

[solemn cape]

ty o7

[hearty saffron]

I tested out changing to Valheim Vulkan the water looked better but then there's even more horrible glitches. Should i reinstall the game?

[hearty saffron]

without Vulkan

[reef wadi]

Can anyone help me I’m a first time player trying to mod and I getting this error message

[hearty saffron]

It's so bad.

[hearty saffron]

it gets worse the deeper i get into the ocean

[serene tangle]

better ask in #mods-issues

[austere badger]

Is there a way to solve and stop the issue of the game freezing when loading into a world

[quartz cairn]

if it's the first time you load that world for ashlands update, you just have to wait a couple of minutes (world update takes time).

[austere badger]

Thank you ❤️ i also changed graphics to balanced too unsure if that will help

[molten locust]

Me and my mate just killed the bonemass, any tips on what to expect up in the mountain? We have encountered drakes and wolves and love those things so much!

[solemn cape]

does taming 1 or 2 star boar give more meat orr?

also will the * products * of these boars have stars aswell?

[thorn spire]

higher drop rates.

regular boar drops 1 leather scraps and 1 boar meat, 1* drops 2 each, 2* drops 4 each.

scales the same for any starred mobs.

[solemn cape]

will the children of the 2* boar also be 2 * or

[turbid mantle]

50% chance to be the same as either parent

2 star boar and a 0 star will eventually give a 2 star

[daring dove]

Hey @molten locust Make sure you have cold resist potions and be very careful at night. You don't need to wear your wishbone while mining, it's just useful to help locate the silver to begin with. Good luck!

[real quartz]

anyone know how to setup a server so its using the ptb? the spawns in ashlands are gross pre patch

[tacit breach]

I know GPortal has guides specific to Valheim. so I would think they all offer a guide. To do the play test in Steam they had directions in the pins in the channel for play testing before the crash, so I presume they still do.

[sudden galleon]

IT dont mean mutch when its red its juste mean IT gona take awile,orange mean your about midway,green its almost ready 😋

[visual lance]

So... I was able to find a field of Grausten that you can pick-up. The kind of like stone that you can pick-up in the early game. Do these respawn?

Welcome to ashlands son

[shut mica]

literally unlivable

[viral narwhal]

They made it much easier in the PTB I believe

But you get used to it

[shut mica]

seems like a crazy step up from mistlands

[turbid mantle]

I haven’t seen much talk about building in the Ashlands to help with that

Throwing down a few walls can make a big difference in general

I haven’t been to Ashlands yet

[viral narwhal]

It is a pretty big step up, my advice would be kill them on sight. As soon as you ignore a few they bunch up like crazy

[turbid mantle]

How is that a big set up?

Two slots of mats and you’ve got a bunch of things in the way

[viral narwhal]

I meant it's a big step up from Mistlands to Ashlands

[turbid mantle]

Ah

Still the pathing should be cheeseable

[hollow mantle]

Good luck with that.

[shut mica]

seems like i've undervalued the lightning weapons, seems like they'd be crazy useful considering just how massive crowds can be in ash

[viral narwhal]

Lighting berserker is lovely stuff

[hollow mantle]

Lightning is the best upgrade in every biome.

[shut mica]

isnt there only lightning in two of the newest biomes

[viral narwhal]

He means it works well for any biome

[hollow mantle]

Yep, that.

[shut mica]

doesnt it have a weird interaction with stagger, something like lightning is the only dmg that also contributes to stagger bar

half remember something like that from a vid

[loud linden]

Lightning is particularly useful for making the heavier biomes more manageable.

[hollow mantle]

It’s super effective in Swamp, because everything is wet.

Chaining is great in Plains, for Fuling camps.

And you can easily explode skeletons for the same reason.

(Not that skeletons are much of a challenge ever)

[tawny pagoda]

How to get better performance on linux PLS SOMEONE

PLS

[turbid mantle]

They have to submerge though for that

So much of the swamps is shallow enough to where nothing gets wet

[brazen widget]

hey guys, i didnt kill eikthyr yet. If i kill a troll, will i unlock troll invasion, or am i safe? Not sure if i should try

[rocky sphinx]

I think troll raids only start after killing eikthyr

[brazen widget]

ah, then its okay, i dont need to avoid them 😄

[rocky sphinx]

Tho im not completely sure. Theres an article about raids on the valheim wiki, id check that beforehand

[upbeat talon]

are 19 flint arrows in a finewood bow good against a possible serpent attack?

[rocky sphinx]

If you want to kill it, no

[upbeat talon]

is there any way to shoo it off

[winged solstice]

anyone got tips for getting better frames? it seems like my frames die when it gets windy in the meadows, and i assume there ain't much i can do for blizzards lol

[near monolith]

is the iron axe the best tool to chop wood?

[buoyant peak]

For that stage yes.

For the entire game, no

[turbid mantle]

If you added the player based raids modifier then yes but default no

[hollow mantle]

Frames?

[winged solstice]

frames per sec fps

[hollow mantle]

Ah! lol. Valheim is somewhat CPU bound, so whilst adjusting graphics settings can help, it won’t do by much. But, take a look at:

https://hostari.com/blog/2022-valheim-fps-fix-optimization-guide

[steel perch]

Does any1 know how I can get bonefragments pre eikthyr?

[hollow mantle]

Yes, you can.

[fringe sundial]

Skeletons drop them I am fairly certain. Should be plenty in the berrial chambers.

[dire hamlet]

or from bone piles near troll cave entrances
(also from bone piles rarely found in small burials in the meadows)

[hollow mantle]

And those small burials are spawn locations, I believe. I’m not sure if the bones have to remain in place for them to continue spawning or not, though.

[tribal pagoda]

Hey, ya'll. I am enabling no build cost in the server select, but it doesn't work once I am in the server. Thoughts?

Oh, maybe hammer mode

[real nebula]

Bear in mind that devcommands will only work for a server host - if you're a client on the server or the server itself is dedicated, you won't be able to use devcommands.

Hammer mode would work for everyone

[tribal pagoda]

Not dev commands

World Modifers

[real nebula]

Then hammer mode is no-cost, yes

[tribal pagoda]

oh I see the second thing you said

[true steeple]

When you’re in the world press f2 and check if the modifier shows on the list

[tribal pagoda]

yeah THAT is not working

ok, I will look, Blob

[real nebula]

Dedicated server? Might want to search around in #dedicated-server

[tribal pagoda]

Ok, it's working now. Thank ya folks

[edgy kayak]

Ok, why are these braziers not lit? High wind? Is that a thing

[modest belfry]

Axios-destroy them and reset them a tiny further away from the stone and theyll work fine

Theyre just rubbin up too close to other objects to work properly

[graceful berry]

Are you sure?

[modest belfry]

I am 10 billion percent sure, unless there was hidden rain i didnt see. The same thing happens if you put wood pole with sap too close to a wall it will go out

[livid flare]

I thought they made a patch where flametal doesn’t sink when mined. I just came across my first flametal and got about 25 before it started to sink into the lava.

[sage palm]

Anyone know the command to spawn in a trophy of the Ashlands boss? Wiki doesn't seem to have it yet^_^

[nova kindle]

That's in PTB that Flametal doesn't sink at the moment.

[heavy apex]

Does small and medium grausten pillar have the same durability?

[fringe sundial]

you could try: ||trophyfader, trophydragonking||. most trophies command starts with "trophy" and ends with the monsters name, with a few exceptions ||like fuling.||

[muted minnow]

valheim beginners here, couldn't find anything on this anywhere but is there a reason that our ship kept on taking damage in water?

no serpent, no rocks, no waves

[hollow heron]

supporting video evidences that our boat just randomly takes damage on calm waters ^^^

the state of our ship by the time we docked to repair

[muted minnow]

it's also super inconsistent sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't

[shy shard]

It's relatively common in Multiplayer

I've seen it happen in singleplayer but very rarely

Sometimes the bottom of the hull collides with some rocks protruding from the sea floor when in low depths

But sometimes they're legit nothing and yet the boat takes some damage

Which is a bug

[hollow heron]

is it a known bug?

[shy shard]

Certainly

[compact heath]

10 damage just randomly every now and then with desync issues etc with no rock under the boat is the bug I'm aware of, round about 10 I think maybe less dunno. sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't (the rocks do a lot of damage if you hit those)

[true steeple]

If it took damage that close to land a neck could've eaten it or waves would make it hit the terrain

[muted minnow]

it didn't, that was after we decided to land and repair

but thanks all

[hollow heron]

so after dying to some poison on the sea, we decided to revert. please note that the last time we saved was circa 4:10 PM when we repaired our boat as the messages above. however, when i checked the saves to restore backup, it showed that the last backup before i died was 3:10 PM, which means our save did not register? what is exactly happening? and how do we get the save before we died

[compact heath]

you might find help in #mods-issues, this channel is more for general game help

[mental jay]

Oh sorry

[hollow mantle]

Saves are weird. It seems that if you save too close together it just overwrites the last save. I’ve not found any way to force a save that won’t get overwritten. But one thing I’ve thought of, but not tested, is to force a save by logging out, then, before logging back in, to restore the save that was just created, as this creates a backup copy first.

Well, that is to say, I was thinking about character saves. I’m not sure if world saves work the same way.

[hollow heron]

yes, thank you it is weird because it overwrites the old one. i will force a save by logging out next time

[hollow mantle]

Hopefully that will work for a world save too.

(I realised after posting that you were talking about your (local) world save)

[buoyant peak]

Have black marble never shown loot particles? I also need to be very close for them to render, just being a few meters from them makes them disappear

The dropped item, not the resource nodes

[hollow mantle]

Pretty sure they’re fine in both regards for me. But it’s been a while since I had any loose on the ground, so I would need to check.

[buoyant peak]

Might need to check again and increase draw distance slider, forgot to do it last time.

But even still, it's the only item I've seen being affected like this, everything else renders at a long distance and also show the loot particles

[craggy forge]

why doesn't this copper vein collapse on itself?

it's literally floating as i dug below it

[silk cairn]

it can be finicky. try mining off some chunks of the copper vein itself. it should work eventually

[craggy forge]

so just mine it from the top?

i never had it properly collapse as most of my copper on that first solo world were close to the shore so i couldn't dig to bedrock because of the water

[silk cairn]

i've never tried one that big collapse on me but smaller ones for sure have worked

[craggy forge]

it's even worse now : (

[thorn spire]

Anyone know if Skeletts from the dead raiser disappear if you portal away too far? or do they try to follow me?

[thorn spire]

That'll happen sometimes. You need to make sure the ground is as low as possible because even a 'floating' chunk of rock thats close enough to ground will be supported. make a ladder and start chipping away at the lowest hanging pieces. That's nearly ready to break.

[tacit breach]

Yeah, they disappear.

[thorn spire]

that's a relief. I had very sad images of poor lost skeletts wandering across the ocean floor after me when I portal across the map.

[craggy forge]

ty!

[steel thorn]

isnt it easier to just mine the copper rather than dig a giant crater to have it collapse? or is it just for the fun of it collapsing?

[hollow mantle]

It’s generally easier/quicker to dig out the ground around it.

[craggy forge]

^

[steel thorn]

interesting

[craggy forge]

also you can miss some parts of the vein that are hidden underground

this way you can get all of it and then have fun carrying anywhere from 70 to 120 copper ore from boat to the smelters

[crude ermine]

does anyone know if stones respawn like branches on the ground? they dont seem to but i wanted to confirm

[hollow vessel]

Can someone explain backstab to me? I see the Trap has a backstab bonus, but I can't find any information on what that means.

[crude ermine]

as far as i can understand the bonus is applied on enemies that have not entered combat state yet

[hollow vessel]

Ah I see. Similar to getting a hit on an enemy that I haven't aggroed yet?

[crude ermine]

if they dont have that red ! then yeah i think so

[hollow vessel]

So it applies if an enemy just wanders into my Trap but not if they are chasing me and run into a trap. Interesting. Thanks!

[thorn spire]

yep.

[steel thorn]

are there only two bonemass altars in the world?

[thorn spire]

I think there will be more. At least three.

I've found three elder, three Eikthyr altars, two bonemass and two Moder but I've hardly explored the north of my current world at all.

[steel thorn]

just wondering cuz ive explored alot of crypts across the map and all the stones have only revealed 2

[thorn spire]

so the stones will only show the nearest one. Look in different parts of your map, perhaps.

Maybe there are only two.

if you really want to be certain, try an online map.

[fringe sundial]

the small pick-up able ones do respawn but the larger ones you take a pickaxe to don't afaik.

[frail cave]

pickable rocks are one of the few pickable objects that do not respawn.
flint does, but stones don't.

[crude ermine]

ok thanks for the confimation

[crude ermine]

has anyone ever found any decent uses for porcupine or yotun bane? they seem not that great.

[frail cave]

porcupine is great if you're sticking to clubs but wanna fight things like lox.
it's also slightly stronger than the iron mace against stone golems but costs considerably more stamina so whether it's worth it for that is to be debated.
jotun bane's...not well-balanced. better for cutting trees than the black metal axe, but as usual, costs more stamina too. as a weapon it's not really better than any of the other mistlands weapons, poison sucks mechanically and its damage numbers don't even try to make up for that.

[crude ermine]

okay that bacially confirms all my suspicions. the reason i made yotun bane was to test it against tanking the queen where i could only get a hit in here and there between parries but was too scared to test it.

[frail cave]

if there are long breaks between hits, then jotun bane's not as bad as it is in regular combat, but all the other options probably still outdo it 😅
unless of course your axes level is much higher than those other options

[crude ermine]

makes sense. oh! i also wanted to ask if im using frostner and my brother is using the ember staff does the cold debuff grant fire resistance and visa versa?

[frail cave]

hmm, i don't think the fire and frost damage effects weaken each other's damage types. could be wrong, but at least the wiki and in-game descriptions don't mention that.

[crude ermine]

hmm i would have assumed they granted some elmental modification like the wet status but i can never check them in combat lol

i guess i could stand in a fire

[solid spoke]

question, where do I upgrade the fenris hood?

At the workbench, I can only upgrade the chest and the legs, not the hood. I do have a few mods installed, maybe that's the problem, but I wanted to ask first if I'm missing something

[crude ermine]

sometimes you need to do hella frost caves to get the right item to drop

[solid spoke]

I only need fenris hair and claws according to the wiki tho, no?

[crude ermine]

hood needs a cultist troph

[solid spoke]

oh I got it from someone at lvl 1, I probably can't upgrade it until I can craft it myself then

[abstract beacon]

with these graphics settings i have 30 fps
putting all of them on low changes literally nothing
whats the problem? im having rtx 3080 and ryzen 7 3700x

[stark kettle]

does anything happen to ashlands enemies when they touch water?

like surtlings?

[crude ermine]

i have similar issues especially in the mistlands where adjusting graphics setting seems to have absolutely no affect on fps whatsoever

[runic olive]

Is the root set from Abomination enough against Bonemass, or would you guys advise full iron?

[crude ermine]

depends on your play style. If youre a dodge roller apparently troll is enough as long as you have good food, shield, and weapon from swamp.

[gleaming gull]

Hi, im looking for help to fight Yagluth 🙂

[crude ermine]

like advice or active cooperation kind of help?

[gleaming gull]

maybe both depends 🙂

[crude ermine]

well i can tell you what i think is most effective if you want. what have you tried so far?

[gleaming gull]

Never tried yet

Can you suggest me what gear i should use ?

[true steeple]

Use padded armor and a silver sword or frostner. Make sure you have plenty of medium stamina, medium health and fire resistance meads

[gleaming gull]

Thanks !

Should i use my bow ?

[true steeple]

No, he is pierce resistant.

Even with draugr fang and elemental arrows it does too much pierce

[crude ermine]

yeah sure. ive tried using the fenris set which works pretty well on normal difficulty but probably the best thing to do is just use frostner with padded armor. you dont need a shield because you should be running to evade attacks and shield will slow you. use lox pie, serpent stew, and blood pudding and get eikthyrs buff for run stam reduction. stamina pots are nice to have but the cd is just so long.

oh and use barley wine

[true steeple]

Fighting yagluth without enough barley wine is one of the easiest ways to die in this game

[crude ermine]

yeah if you get hit

[gleaming gull]

Thanks a lot for your help

I think ill try to get a serpent first ahahah

[true steeple]

Use serpent stew, bread and serpent meat/blood pudding (for 2 health or 2 stamina)

[gleaming gull]

Thanks !

[crude ermine]

yeah 2 sam is good if you dont get hit

2 health is safer though imo

some times mosquitos like to interrupt your kiting

[gleaming gull]

I'm in Fuling's Village vocal if you guys want.

[glacial escarp]

hey i cant load up a world. bought game reinstalled and just wont let me load into a world

[sudden galleon]

is it your first play since ashland release?

[glacial escarp]

never played before

[sudden galleon]

oh ok then it can take somtime let it go if the none responding window pop up click on wait and wait , it should start.. depend of you computer , can take 5 min or so after your first load up it well take less time

[zealous hare]

how can i remove a dirt tower that i made with a hoe?

[rocky sphinx]

Pickaxe

[zealous hare]

how get that

i jsust started

[subtle parrot]

Beat the first boss

[zealous hare]

how

[subtle parrot]

Bow and arrows, or flint knife and dodging

[rocky sphinx]

You need to summon him first at an altar, did you register it to your map at the beginning?

[zealous hare]

uhhh idk

That thing?

[reef ivy]

I've gotten this window every time I open valheim for the past ~4-7 months. Hasn't hindered me at all but I just wanted to check with the specialists

I do have my valheim not set to english and I don't use mods

[rocky sphinx]

Should be an egg shaped thing with two horns on each side, thats where the boss is

You didnt click the runestone at the vegvisir

Id go back and get it, but you could just randomly find it as eikthyr altars are fairly common

[reef ivy]

the vegvisir is the flat small stone that has red lettering on it

[hollow mantle]

Do you have hints turned on? If so you should have seen a raven who should have told you what to do. IIRC.

[ionic breach]

taking a guess, but verify your game files in steam. it looks like something is missing.

[zealous hare]

thanks last question where get flint

[ionic breach]

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

[reef ivy]

I did that multiple times when it first happened and I reinstalled the game at least 3 different times

it didn't help :(

[hollow mantle]

Near water.

[ionic breach]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ModdedValheim/comments/18j4jvg/psa_how_to_fix_the_could_not_run_preloader_issue/

maybe just create the empty folder it’s looking for

[reef ivy]

I'll try that and bring back what I find

but... later

[rocky sphinx]

In riverbanks

[sudden galleon]

dude if bepinex is running your are using mod 🤣

[reef ivy]

wait really??

[sudden galleon]

yea

[reef ivy]

oh shit, I didn't know. How do I remove those mods

[sudden galleon]

well ez way just rename the bepinex folder just adding a b to rename it bbepinex should stop it from loading

[reef ivy]

ok, thank you bro. I'll try that now

[sudden galleon]

update me if it work or not ..

[cunning forum]

Guys i need help, Me and my bro have a server from the same wifi, it worked perfectly fine until now, It keeps saying Failed To Connect and wont let me in

[sudden galleon]

who is hosting the world

you or your bro

[cunning forum]

my bro

[sudden galleon]

does he set it up correctly like this ?

[cunning forum]

omg, nvm, my dumb brother wasnt in the game ready for me to join

thank you for your time and making him realize

[sudden galleon]

🤣

[frail cave]

so i built my first drakkar boat but it got stuck, i now destroyed it but my ceramic platers disappeared (?)

is this supposed to happen or is my game glitched

[sudden galleon]

they might have sink

[frail cave]

i swam around nowhere to be found

i found the other materials

ohhh wait

i can make them from black marble, i thought it was from the queen drop no problem then... lol

i just started playing the new update sorry, lol

[sudden galleon]

no update must have worked 😈

[reef ivy]

oh sorry, I will try now. I just went back to playing bc i forgor

[sudden galleon]

you might notice a framrate increase after.. when bepinex generat error like that its eating framerate

[reef ivy]

thank you good person of the internet. It worked

[edgy kayak]

I believe poor connection by one or more of the players causes this

[zealous hare]

how tame boar

[edgy kayak]

trap it, feed it mushrooms, and time. Also no fire near it

[sudden galleon]

great have fun 😁

[zealous hare]

Flint knife or spear

wich sheild

[crude ermine]

knife and spear are both really good weaps imo. i like knives. buckler if you can parry shields if you cant.

[zealous hare]

how trap

they always run awawy

[thorn spire]

Trick is to build a small pen with an opening, 2x roundpole fence long. lure the boar in backwards so you can build a fence behind it, then jump out.

[dim ingot]

so i just beat the first boss but i have a question am i gunna be like a nomad in this game? like should i make a lot of bases

like for each area

[crude ermine]

if youre playing with immersive mode active for sure. if not then you have other options.

[dim ingot]

idk what immersive mode is

im just playing whatever the base game is

[crude ermine]

then you dont have to worry as much although having a base for each biome is not a bad idea

[dim ingot]

alright it just seems kinda annoying to have to run back to the medows for stuff so

also what are bees for i found a nest but didnt do anything with it

[crude ermine]

youll unlock building options that allow you to move to where you want. bees give you honey which is used for various recipies

[dim ingot]

oh okay so should i do somthin with the hive?

[crude ermine]

if you build a hive i think it gives you one honey per day per hive up to x4

[dim ingot]

ohh okay cool

[stark kettle]

Any command to delete the burial chamber here?

It's in the way for one of my base buildings

it is already emptied for loot and enemies long ago

[zealous hare]

how feed it

now wat

[vagrant bobcat]

throw some food in there.. like berries

and then u have to go away so they are not aggroed anymore

and then it takes some time to reach 100% taming

but they have to have enough of food while being tamed

[crude ermine]

it takes 30min if you are in render range. thats right you have to sit there for 30 min.

[manic mango]

Go make dinner or something like that in real life while waiting, keeping the game open with sounds on if someone attacks you or something.

[crude ermine]

yup curcumvent the rediculous tedium

[dim ingot]

so the bird told me to go under the earth to find smulter cores or whatever to smelt stuff

so like wheres the caves at

[crude ermine]

in the forest in burial chambers

so strange that people wanna be told what to do instead of engage in discovery

[dim ingot]

oh i was looking for caves caves not like burial stuff

i prob missed it then thanks

[zealous hare]

how many?

[vagrant bobcat]

i heard u need 3 pieces of berries per boar.. but i usually throw there like 8... just in case

[crude ermine]

yeah 8 is guarantee

[true steeple]

You should swap the fences for stake walls when you can, enemies can see through fences.

[zealous hare]

OK

[crude ermine]

do seekers have really high perception outside mistlands? the ones that spawn in the forest after you kill the queen seem to be able to track me down even with 80+ sneak

[zealous hare]

do they have to not be in my sight to tame?

[zealous hare]

i did 30 😭

[true steeple]

If they have an icon over their head the taming will pause. Wait, leave the game or run away to continue taming.

[dim ingot]

my closest black forest biome is really bad its like right at the ocean and then it stops lol ig i should just find another?

[crude ermine]

yeah if its a small biome you usually dont find many mats

[true steeple]

You need one big enough to spawn multiple burial chambers and enough ore.
(Yes, find a new one)

[frail cave]

wheres the land

theres just cones in the sea

[dim ingot]

okay cause it was like like at the ocean and then maybe a few feet inland and then it just stopped

[true steeple]

You need to sail around, you just aren’t near any islands. Try looking towards the south edge, not south-east.

[hollow mantle]

There are cave caves too... They don't have surtling cores, but they do have some good stuff, usually.

[dim ingot]

ohh okay cool

[zealous hare]

is valgeim a random world?

does it have set elements?

[idle compass]

My in-game server isn't working. Can someone help?

No mods at all. Checked everything... port forwarding is good, no firewall, no vpn, re-installed, etc. Friends can't connect and geekstrom can't find it. With or without crossplay neither works.

Dedicated server on same PC works fine using 2456-2457 UDP so ports and internet are ok. And log file shows no errors.

[unreal pier]

I keep disconnecting from Valheim every 30 seconds and it looks like it actually crashes my steam account cause I see all the games my friends are playing each time it happens

[idle compass]

You could check your player.log to see if any errors there explain it.

[unreal pier]

where are they at? appdata locallow?

[idle compass]

Yes

[vagrant briar]

So in the patch notes, I saw that the flametal ore veins do not sink anymore, but in a world with the latest version, the flametal still suddenly started sinking... Is there a bug or something with that, or did the patchnotes lie?

[lilac coyote]

You're referring to the patch notes for the PTB, right?

[vagrant briar]

Ohh

[sudden galleon]

it might be ptb patch note

[vagrant briar]

Shit, I thought it was on the live version... I'm an idiot...

[sudden galleon]

bah to late 😅

[zealous hare]

IS the fre too close?

fire

[sly parrot]

how do i find mines in mistlands???

[true steeple]

If you weren’t near the boars when they aggroed, yes.

[sly parrot]

ive serched three now. curently serching the one that has the boss and i have found one with exactly 5 purple cores

need tips or advice because this is hours and hours for nothing 😅

[true steeple]

I don’t think there’s much you can do other than look around from above the mist. The entrances are able to spawn 2-star seekers during day so if you’re attacked by one you could be near an entrance, but there are other locations that can spawn them too.

[sly parrot]

oof. i dont have this kind of time for vidio games these days. there needs to be more of these things i feel

[true steeple]

You can use an online map generator if you need to

[idle compass]

That part of your log only shows that you're disconnecting. The reason for the disconnect would come before that.

[sly parrot]

how do i do that?

[reef ivy]

https://valheim-map.world/

[true steeple]

https://valheim-map.world/ Get your world seed from the world select menu

[unreal pier]

what do you mean, it shows there is no connection state to steam with the _None

[tender nest]

hey guys, my game freeze when i try to start the server, any idea why?

[jolly elk]

Yes, but it doesn't show the reason for the 'no connection state'. It just says it's disconnected. Not why it's disconnected. It could be a simple time out which wouldn't show any error because the error might not be with Valheim at all.

[reef ivy]

is it something to do with how much ram your system allows valheim?

[tender nest]

well my friend said that it is not freezing but just loading for 10 minutes

is it supposed to be starting for like 10 minutes?

[reef ivy]

has your friend ever loaded up valheim before?

I know that post-ashlands, loading up worlds for the first time might take some time (and your game will go into freeze mode or be non-responisve)

[crude ermine]

is there a weapon tier list?

[reef ivy]

yes

spear>everything else

that was a joke if anyone didn't know btw

[lilac coyote]

There are plenty that would agree with you.

[crude ermine]

idk frostner seems to be good against everything except golems

and continutes to perform well in each biome after the mountain

maybe just because theres no real good mace upgrade

[buoyant peak]

Until mistwalker appears

[crude ermine]

i guess but thats slash dmg

[buoyant peak]

And flametal mace can be better than frostner

[buoyant peak]

Blunt loses some relevance after swamp and becomes on par with slash in most cases

[crude ermine]

seems like everything from mist onward has physical resist too

[buoyant peak]

Starting at mistlands, only seekers and morgens are resistant to physical dmg while for most enemies it's only physical to pierce while being neutral to slash and blunt

[crude ermine]

arent seeker soldiers resistant to phys?

oh were you including them in catagory seeker

wait does mistwalker deal primarily frost dmg?

frostners numbers arent gray against phys resist because its primary is frost

how do multiple damage types calculate anyway

[buoyant peak]

If by "primary" you mean higher dmg no, it's the same frost dmg amount on both

But it has higher slash dmg which even with resistance it's significantly higher than frostner's:

75 slash from mistwalker * 0.5 from resistance = 37.5

If you add the 40 frost = 77.5

35 blunt from frostner * 0.5 = 17.5

If you add 40 frost = 57.5

[crude ermine]

hmm ok ccol

[buoyant peak]

The way damage is handled when multiple are present is just visually weird and you shouldn't rely on the color because of that.

Hitting a seeker or soldier with either weapon will show white numbers due to frost being present. The most effective damage type's color is what will be shown

[crude ermine]

lol ok good to know

[crude ermine]

demolisher: useful or waste of mats?

[frail cave]

quick question when hosting a dedicated server does the servers world progress whilst no players are connected?

[lilac coyote]

No, the world pauses if there are no players.

[frail cave]

thank you

[compact heath]

Useful AoE weapon and also can be used for Queen cheese and other things

[dark fog]

Also one of the easiest ways to collect barley and flax when farming.

[edgy kayak]

Yes for sure

[fringe sundial]

barley and flax harvesting? hold my atgeir!

[compact heath]

I use atgeir, is the same efficiency I guess yeah

[dark fog]

Atgier, demolisher and ember staff are 3 best ways to collect barley and flax

[fringe sundial]

good to know. also glad I could use a meme. 😋

[crude ermine]

does anyone know why we have to keep crafting gear with iron even after we get access to black metal? do the devs just want the player to be married and devorced to the swamp 5 times?

[lilac coyote]

You don't?

[crude ermine]

meh

[buoyant peak]

They like iron apparently.

They should add more sources of iron, I wouldn't mind the grind if this was the case

[crude ermine]

how else can you get enough iron without doing crypts or spending more time than you want

[buoyant peak]

Mistlands has decent sources of it

But ashlands doesn't

[crude ermine]

yeah

[lilac coyote]

But it only takes a half dozen or so decent crypts to get all the iron you really need. Maybe a few more if RNG isn't your friend.

[crude ermine]

guess that depends on what you think you really need

[lilac coyote]

Well, quite.

[buoyant peak]

And it's better to assume it won't, RNG is a force of nature, it's either your worst enemy or your best friend.

No in-between

[lilac coyote]

There's absolutely in-between, that's kinda how RNG works.

[compact heath]

the building iron is on another level, need so much for supports when building something bigger, not that you need to do that to fit what you want into a base, but lots of people like the building a lot, and before the flametal pillars there was no better support then iron

[lilac coyote]

Oh, if you're doing lots of buildings that require hundreds of iron, that's really on you, and yeah, that'll be a ballache.

[compact heath]

at least thr iron need for ashlands is smaller than plains and mist

in terms of armour and weapons, i haven't done numbers but it feels that way

[zealous hare]

ok moving them

[sly parrot]

can you take wolves in to fight the queen?

[fringe sundial]

that is a very good question since it is a instance instead of in the open world....

[lilac coyote]

No, same as you can't bring them into crypts and caves.

[north turret]

Nope.

[sly parrot]

dang. the queen is the worst boss fight lol. i remember my first time beating it i was so exited with the balistas i set up a bunch right at the opening waiting for it to come out and then the door opened and all my work was waisted. now taming wolves wont help me either. how the heck do i fight this thing lol

i like archery. distance. planning things out befor hand. this boss is my nemisis

[tired notch]

based on your preference, I'd recommend using magic to beat her.

[sly parrot]

true.

[sly parrot]

can you craft the extractor unit?

[fringe sundial]

if you are asking what the recipe to build one is, it's easily available on wiki:https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Sap_extractor
but there is a catch in that not all pieces are common drops ||specifically the needle needs to be found in the mists from the dvergr||

[hollow heron]

how do i turn off proximity chat?

[sly parrot]

what offers the advantage on seekers? is it blunt?

[frail cave]

i cant play the game everytime i open crashes in loading screen.

re installed and nothing changed

[compact heath]

Neutral to Fire Frost Lightning Poison, they are weak and very weak to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 😛

mistlands is my least favored biome
