[manic mango]

I usually disable Bloom and it helos a bit, maybe sun shafts too

Might sound strange request. But i got eye illness, i think its called cataract in english, harmaakaihi in finnish, and its pretty bad. I cant see well, in fact i see very badly, and bright lights are a pain. In computers, like bright day in valheim, is big sore for my eyes.
The only trestment is eye surgery, which i have scheluded on 13th of august, but i gotta hang on until then. Without surgery things get worse and eventually blindness occurs. But after surgery i get rid of glasses and so on.

[tired notch]

Yeah, you have the env command you can use which will stay until you exit the game.

[manic mango]

Hmm gotta read about that then... Havent heard of it

[tired notch]

Assuming you have -console added to your valheim launch options, hit f5 and run the command devcommands, then you can do the env command.

env [env] Variables: Clear, Twilight_Clear, Misty, Darklands_dark, Heath clear, DeepForest Mist, GDKing, Rain, LightRain, ThunderStorm, Eikthyr, GoblinKing, nofogts, SwampRain, Bonemass, Snow, Twilight_Snow, Twilight_SnowStorm, SnowStorm, Moder, Ashrain, Crypt, SunkenCrypt.

so you could do something like env SwampRain

[true steeple]

If you use SwampRain you will always be wet

And using any environment that isnt from mountains on a mountain will remove the freezing effect

[manic mango]

Thanks for the info. I havent used the -console

[rustic hull]

Hello mates! Just a doubt. If I use myself a furling camp, to take advantage of the actual structures, the enemies will respawn there?

[buoyant peak]

Nope

[spare plank]

So quick question, do worlds default to hard combat difficulty when you make them or is that a bug?

[buoyant peak]

Nope

[spare plank]

No they aren't supposed to default to hard or no that's not a bug? We just beat the Elder and found out the game was on Hard after raids started getting out of hand.

[fringe sundial]

unless someone changed the world modifier settings when making the world, it should be on normal for everything.

[ashen olive]

is there a way to stop the hp degredation when low duration remains on food? or is that just how it is

[steep tusk]

Just how it is.
And it isn't specific to low duration.
Degrading stats starts immediately upon eating.

@ashen olive for a full breakdown of how foods decay at specific points to help inform when you want to eat again, my food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat and has a "Decaying Stats" tab.

[buoyant peak]

No

[spark thorn]

So I’m about to fight bone mass with an unuograded iron sword, upgraded troll set with the root helm. Am I screwed or will I be fine?

[slender oracle]

Hi i just joined this server. i need some tips for building tall structures without the new block (the strongest i have is wood iron pole)
I'm already on red for wood iron and core wood on top but need to go a little higher. is there anything i can do to get it higher?
I'll gladly share pics of the structure or get in a call for a brainstorm :)

[sweet crescent]

Can you spawn in starred foes? and if so whats the command?

[slender oracle]

id say fine if you take your time and also get some potions.. maybe a bronze maze instead of the sword

[true steeple]

A mace would do much more damage than a sword. He is weak to blunt and resistant to slash.

[true steeple]

What food are you using?

[spark thorn]

Uhh I’m using deer meat boar meet and neck tail meat. Thinking about spawning stuff in cuz farming berries and honey for meads sounds really really lame and unappealing

[spark thorn]

What about the axe?

[true steeple]

The axe also does slash damage so it’s not going to be any better.

[slender oracle]

ops wrong reply 😅

[true steeple]

You should be using swamp food, or black forest food at least. You also should have at least 1 stamina and at least 1 health food, not all 3 foods for one stat.

[spark thorn]

Okay I’ll spawn in some jerky and soups that are in my cauldron recipe

[true steeple]

Queens jam would be better

[lilac coyote]

Why spawn in?

[true steeple]

2 health 1 balanced is almost as bad as 3 health

[spark thorn]

I have no interest in farming and collecting ingredients outside of unlocking recipes. Fermenting meads/potions takes 2 in game days, so 1 hour of waiting assuming I don’t sleep. No thanks.

[lilac coyote]

OK, I guess it's not compulsory to play the game.

[true steeple]

Farming allows you to collect ingredients that aren’t obtainable in any other way and are required for most foods in the game.

[spark thorn]

I’ll farm enough to unlock the recipes then.

But if I can get buy on animal drops that’d be ideal

[true steeple]

You can let the crops grow and meads ferment while you are doing other things. They don’t need to be nearby to progress.

[true steeple]

Good luck with that

[lilac coyote]

Which animals drop things like carrots, turnips and onions?

[spark thorn]

True. Tbh I haven’t played around with the system too much. But needing berries and things when I’m spending all my time in the swamps trying to find abominations and wraiths means I’m gonna be out of food unless I do dedicated collecting runs

I have a bee hive and carrot seeds. I hope that’s good enough hahaha

[true steeple]

You need to farm turnips at some point to make a cauldron improvement, without that you will never be able to get the best foods in any later biome

[spark thorn]

Oh shucks I forgot about those

Is there a wiki app with mistlands and ashlands in it? The PW app doesn’t

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki has everything you could possibly want.

I have no idea what a PW app is.

[spark thorn]

Pocket wiki app

[spark thorn]

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pocket-wiki-for-valheim/id1557299576

[lilac coyote]

Oh, wait, it just steals content from our Wiki. Love it.

I hope it's at least more up to date than the screnshots suggest.

Whelp, apparently it isn't.

[spark thorn]

It doesn’t include ashlands or mistlands content

But wow that’s lame that they stole your content. No wonder it was so good

[lilac coyote]

'The following data may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies:

[real kayak]

Is there any solution for my disconnected server problem ?

[lilac coyote]

MFW when I think the server is suddenly active at 1am then realising it's just the same post in four different channels.

[compact heath]

Someone on reddit said bat raids started after killing 1 bat (before killing Bonemass), wiki says it needs to be bat + Bonemass kill to trigger it, for me it hasn't triggered yet so wonder if I m just super lucky, if the guy on reddit is wrong or the wiki is wrong?

[broken fjord]

Pretty sure it is Bonemass. The bats will come for you. They die easy so long as you got some food in you. They are a problem for pets/livestock.

[hollow mantle]

They die easily when you hit them.

[shell perch]

I'm looking to make a port, any ideas or advice?

[devout vault]

hey i beat the Elder, what do i do now?

[sage palm]

You celebrate, then go and try to find a use for the item he dropped.

[jagged badge]

Learn to power of eikthyr and corpse run

[warm pond]

Hey everyone I’m brand new to the game, how would I go about unlocking all of the building schematics???

[spark thorn]

Bonemass kicked by butt. Even with poison resist I take a ton of damage

[spark thorn]

Finding ingredients and having the appropriate work bench is how you unlock schematics for everything

[warm pond]

Tyvm

[dim ingot]

how do i get a level 4 workbench i havent beat the elder yet is that why i cant get one

[sage palm]

Level 4 workbench should require an Adze, look into getting Bronze bars. No Elder required, you need forge though.

[dim ingot]

okay i have bronze but maybe i forgot to build that hold on

[sage palm]

Got all the types of wood? It might require Core-, Fine or regular - can't remember which.

[dim ingot]

it requires fine but i see it ig i just forgot to build that one

thanks

wait how do i get carrot seeds back after harvesting

[sage palm]

Plant the grown carrots. Your cultivator has two recipes.

Seeds to carrots, and carrots to 3x seeds

[dim ingot]

ohhhh i didnt see it got new recipes my bad i only saw the cauldron had new stuff

[sage palm]

It might only pop up once you place a cultivator in your inventory again

Same for future crops.

[dim ingot]

oh okay

it says its 1 carrot for one plant so how does that work?

do i just never get more seeds im confused

oh wait nvm i read it im slow

ngl i miss having the bird pop up for all the stuff u did he was cool

can i get a level five workbench yet or no

[vagrant bobcat]

Not until u can get and iron

[dim ingot]

oh okay

[hollow heron]

why cant i turn on nocost even if i had my god mode on and stuff?

[steep tusk]

Type debugmode
Exit console
Press B

[hollow heron]

didnt work

[subtle parrot]

Nocost doesn't give a confirmation in the console

[dim ingot]

me and ragnar (my characters name) on our first boat, thank you helpful people for helping me get this far in the game

[hollow heron]

Check my newest picture, it said no placement cost:true but it still showed missing requirement

[solemn cape]

im unable to fish with the harpoon

or is that not a feature?

[willow raft]

It is working as intended, only way to fish is either with the fishing pole or building a fish trap, so fish "beach" themselves.

[solemn cape]

what if i harpoon a fish thats on a fishing rod?

[subtle parrot]

Nope lol

[willow raft]

Nope and that would be slightly overkill.

Harpoon is for dragging serpents and other mobs around to where you want them.
Also works on most lifestock.

[solemn cape]

i knew that much, but i thought since its a harpoon u'd be able to fish with it but damn. ty!

[willow raft]

Wish it were so, I would also like to fish with my staff of embers, kinda like dynamite fishing.

[subtle parrot]

Or bow fishing

[solemn cape]

or spears 🤷‍♂️

i see there is a mod for it tho, its called spearfishing

[willow raft]

No strings attached so you need to run after the fish floating away in the stream or sea.

[solemn cape]

the devs would probably make the fish sink 😂

[subtle parrot]

The character inherently knows how to make rope (harpoon) so it should be possible to make some to attach to arrows

[willow raft]

You would think so but they also know how to make swords but sometimes forget how to if they get a new material to make swords with.
All weapons basically.

[subtle parrot]

Lol fair enough

[frail cave]

Hi guys what else i can do in black forest what to craft or do ?

[willow raft]

Troll hide set, a karve and use that to find some chitin so make a abyssal razor and harpoon, bronze axe and pickaxe, upgrades for the various carfting stations (workbench, forge, cauldron), a cultivator, a hoe and a butcher knife.
I think once you have all that you are ready with the black forest and can go kill the elder and go ham in the swamps.

[frail cave]

pickaxe i have troll set i have bronze sword i have and items for craft copper and tin

so idk what next to do

[willow raft]

Find the elder, either by running around blackforests and stumbling upon its altar or finding a burial crypt or tower that has a vegvisir in to find the altar location.

[frail cave]

so if i have troll set and sword and pickaxe but dont have axe so still i can kill boss?

[gloomy yarrow]

anyone else's fps halfs during morning in-game time?

[willow raft]

You only need the ancient seeds to summon the boss and can kill him with whatever you want, some things might take longer than other though.
Not having the axe isn't a big deal, you'll get to the swamp later on and will have the ability to make an iron axe and so on.

[frail cave]

so is good if i have Bow on lvl 3 100+ classic an arrow and fire arrow?

[frail cave]

i writte you DM too

[willow raft]

You can do it with that it might take a while to get the elder down and your bow may break during it but it is certainly doable.

[frail cave]

when i install valheim plus the game doesnt open

[lilac coyote]

What happens when you remove it?

[frail cave]

it opens

but i want to install mods

i saw the valheim plus doesnt work after the ashlands update

[lilac coyote]

#mods-issues or #mods-discussion might have some ideas. Otherwise just play vanilla. The game is fine as it is.

[frail cave]

???????????????? jesus christ ofc i have finished the game in vanilla and i have install mods in the past

i just want to know if the ashlands update cant handle it nomore

anyways

i fixed it

V+ was outaded

[molten perch]

hello where do i need to go for help with crashing on the game?

[real nebula]

If your game is or has ever been modded before, please read the pinned messages of this channel for instructions to cleanly delete them. This generic Unity error is often caused by mod files.

[tranquil glade]

why is my comfort level changing from 14 to 15 and sometimes just going away completely inside

it feels like it changes depending on where in the room i am

also does anyone know why along this back wall i cant destroy any of the land?

i cant flatten it

[steel thorn]

comfort items have a radius around them, so comfort will change depending on where they are situated and were you are standing

[tranquil glade]

ohhh i thought it was just the room its in

[steel thorn]

no its like a workbench

[frail cave]

the radius is sadly only 10 meters for every object iirc

[molten perch]

dig it a little deeper then fill it again you need to be just close enough so you dont destroy your wall

[frail cave]

terrain can only be lowered or raised for 8 meters past its natural shape

[hollow mantle]

The good thing is you can have comfort items on different floors/levels. And they will still count.

[tranquil glade]

ohh got it, thanks

[keen glacier]

Looks to me like you need to carefully whack that corner one or two more times with a pickaxe to achieve a flat plane throughout your pit

[tranquil glade]

yeah 😞

[keen glacier]

Winter is right about the 8 meters though... if whacking with a pickaxe doesn't work, then it is likely due to the 8 meter limit.

[keen glacier]

Ooooh yeah, looking at that picture, I think its likely the 8 meter limit thats stopping you here

@tranquil glade you could probably fix this simply by standing on the higher part of the terrain with your hoe equipped and start flattening. The elevation depends on where you are currently standing, so if you stand on the higher segment, you should be able to raise the rest to match it.

[fluid flume]

hello. today i've tried to creat a map or start the server, but it crush every time. what is it?

[frail cave]

if it freezes on the black loading screen, just don't press anything and wait it out

[tranquil glade]

good idea i see, thanks

[frail cave]

the crash is just windows getting impatient and closing it for you after inputs

[fluid flume]

okey, i will try it

it works! thank you!!!!

[frail cave]

you're welcome!

[tranquil glade]

is there a more space efficient way to place wood stacks

u cant place them on top of eachother for some reason

[dire hamlet]

place a chest and place the wood inside

[tranquil glade]

thats not aethetic 😔

but i guess thatll have to do

[dire hamlet]

put some wooden floors on top of the stack to place the next stack on (the 1x1 pieces)

or use finewood for the bottom layer

[frail cave]

i think as long as it's still touching a wall or something, it might hold after you destroy what's under it. IF i'm correct on that, you could make taller stacks by starting at the top.
if it's purely for aesthetic purposes, you can somewhat imitate these piles by free-placing horizontal 1m core logs against a temporary wall, that approach also gives you more control over the shape of the overall stack

[fast niche]

Hello everyone.
Is there a mod that lets you build freely?
By that I mean that you can build as much as you like without a static query.

Why would you need a mod when you can just set the server setting to free build?

Why don't my TAB or ESC or Mouse work in Valheim single player?

[soft tulip]

Yall how do I reset my recipes with commands

[frail cave]

I can't find a server to join

[fringe sundial]

Without clarification, I can only assume it's a driver issue if both your keyboard and mouse works outside of valheim. Or a broken mod if you use mods.

[cinder obsidian]

I use mods but this hasn't happened before

[fringe sundial]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510
There are about 100+ current listing's here.

[frail cave]

I try but I get no response

[fringe sundial]

Ah, so non-respinsive hosts. That sucks. I don't run one so I can't help you anymore than I have.

[cinder obsidian]

My other characters work, only one doesn't

[fringe sundial]

Not an issue I have seen listed here before, but that sounds like a corrupted save related to that character or world.

[cinder obsidian]

Well, I guess I'll have to load an old version (Losing an hour of gameplay)

It's not too long but it's still an hour

[fringe sundial]

Hopefully that fixes it.

[cinder obsidian]

yea, I hope it's not the world

[fringe sundial]

That would be much worse, ya.

[soft tulip]

Resetknownitems worked

[fringe sundial]

I am not sure if there is a devcommand to do that, but I learn new stuff all the time. If there was, it would be related to "keys", so try looking up those. Ie: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Keys

[cinder obsidian]

it was the world... Old version might work, I'd be just losing progress

[soft tulip]

There is I found it, its called resetknownitems

Just didnt work like two times before I tried the last time🤷‍♂️

[fringe sundial]

Good to know.

Ya devcommands can be slow/buggy. Had to use forcedelete like 3 times to get rid of a bolder.

[cinder obsidian]

I lost the world

How fun!

[fringe sundial]

Ouch.

You have my sympathy.

[cinder obsidian]

I'll do something to get the world back

[hollow mantle]

Oh, that sucks. How much time did you put into it? Do you have a backup?

[cinder obsidian]

All the modifications I've done to the game has been done manually so now I'm trying to kinda go back in time lmao

[cinder obsidian]

It's just a few days old world no biggie

but my new main world still

[hollow mantle]

Ah, right. Still ouch, but not a massive loss.

[cinder obsidian]

Yea, I still have some hope, have to go through some code though

Found the problem and probably the solution

I got an old version working! I lost 2 hours of building but at least I have the world

[hollow mantle]

Nice one.

[shy shard]

How to minimize the performance loss from making large constructions

Do terrain shaping actions still influence instances or not

[fringe sundial]

Terraforming will add instances, just not as much as it once did a long time ago (pre mistlands and hearth and home updates).

Also, larger build pieces cause less instances than smaller pieces (ie: the 4x2 is less than (2) 2x1 stone wall pieces in instance count, but just by a little.)

[obsidian gyro]

when ashlands nerf is coming live?

[final slate]

Guys im seeming to have an issue with my character. I've mainly been playing on the PTB whilst on a dedicated server and I know for certain I made this character on the live version before i played it on the PTB. Now it seems that my character is gone from the live version now that I want to swap the server back to the live version. Anyone got any advice?

[dire hamlet]

nothing else than what they recommend, backup before switching versions, had the same happen to me after helping someone on PTB but i had luckily made a backup before as the charachter i used on PTB disappeared

[manic mango]

Perhaps the world is backep up in the Steam cloud

[final slate]

yeah but my character is still there on the PTB, i just somehow need to access that file and swap it maybe

it says its saved to the cloud

[final slate]

so is my character linked to the dedicated server?

[manic mango]

My recommendation: backup occasionally, regardless if you switch versions or not

[final slate]

cuz like this is him in the PTB rn, i just dont know how to get him outta there

[fringe sundial]

The manage saves button should show all your local and cloud saves. How you make one of those active, I don't know since I have never had to revert to a prior save.

[dire hamlet]

"Once you've played a char at a higher version, it won't be available in the lower version. Not backward compatible. If you have saves from when you were at the lower version, you might be able to revert back to that save and then it would play at the lower version."

from a reddit source

but once PTB goes live as the main version your charachter should come back

[lilac coyote]

From this source too. You know, the official Discord.

[final slate]

so am i SOL rn?

[lilac coyote]

Until they merge the branches or you roll back your character.

[manic mango]

Thats why they say make backups, "yesimadebackups". But usually PTB is merged to live quite soon. Although, well, this summer has been the exception...

[final slate]

Ok so basically what is on my PTB rn will be copy pastad to my live version once it’s merged?

[river nacelle]

the rcipe for frost arrows is wood+obsidian+freezegland+feathers right? i cant find the recipe to craft in my workbench

[manic mango]

Usually you dont want to go back from ptb to live... you just wait for the merge

[final slate]

I think I’m gonna take that as a yes to my previous question. So thank you for all the help! I appreciate it

[manic mango]

workbench level 4

[river nacelle]

thanks

[manic mango]

Did it work

[river nacelle]

yep

[manic mango]

great 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Eh, it depends on how many patches we need in PTB. We're on our 6th right now and I'd expect at least one more. Plus, you know, they're on vacation.

[manic mango]

Vacation? Really?

They releases ashlands, hich is .15, then ptb .16 and after that ptb .17. And then special .19 live which skipped current ptb

[lilac coyote]

.9, .11, .12, .14, .16 and currently .17

[lilac coyote]

Yes, is that a strange concept to you?

[manic mango]

Nope. In Finland the vacations are very long... although usually the whole company doesnt go to a vacation at once.

[lilac coyote]

Well, for one, they're in Sweden, and typically the entire country is on vacation around this time.

[proud shale]

does anyone know why valheim wont work on larger moniters? if i try using vlaheim on my newer moniter it lagss like crazy, but if i try using it on my small (half broken) moniter, it works just fine.

[frail cave]

all this explored for a total of 3 flametal ore spawns and 1 fortress :p great biome

is it rare spawn? flametal

[fringe sundial]

there could be a lot of different reasons but my first thought is to see if the aspect ratio your new monitor is set at matches the games (along with refresh rate and other settings).

[proud shale]

im not familer with the term aspect ratio

wow my spelling SUCKS

[fringe sundial]

1080p, 2k, 4k ect

[proud shale]

ill see what i can do

[lilac coyote]

There are twenty fortresses in Ashlands.

[frail cave]

how many flametal ores

[manic mango]

Does the plug you plugged the game support 60 fps or the signal its supposed to

[fringe sundial]

there should be enough flametal veins to fully upgrade 1 person and then some from what I heard, and that was from people who didnt scour the whole of the ashlands, so there could be more.

[proud shale]

ok so, my screen is a bit... fuzzier. however valheim is running smoother

[fringe sundial]

well, sounds like a half-step to fully fixed. I am not that tech savvy, so that was the only thing I can think to check.

[proud shale]

ig its kind of a band aid, however i can always revert the changes when im not playing valheim, plus, valheim looks normal, ill see what else i can do.

[fringe sundial]

good luck

[sudden galleon]

look for other ashland island

[hollow ingot]

who needs help building/exploring/mining/recovering bodies in their world?

[cobalt relic]

I have this bug when trying to create a world and load in it will endless load forever anyone know how to fix

[compact heath]

I think it should be around 100 pillars approximately, you can also get flametal from fortress

[shadow chasm]

where can I go to recover my old server and fix an issue with the "dedicated server" having a "disk write error" when trying to reinstall?

[compact heath]

I'd try asking in #dedicated-server I got no idea about that

[lilac coyote]

That just sounds like a duff drive.

[ashen olive]

why does sitting down in a wood chair give me -1 comfort? 9 goes down to 8 when I sit down

[lilac coyote]

It shouldn't. Unless it's taking you ever so slightly too far away from some other items.

[shadow chasm]

Thanks. I didn't see that channel

[buoyant peak]

Because by sitting the characters is being moved to the precise position where something that gives you that extra comfort is not being applied.

Just standing directly over the chair should do the same

[ashen olive]

ah I see

So where is the fishing rod? Isn't it supposed to spawn somewhere by a frost cave lake?

[subtle parrot]

That's a tetra pond, what you're looking for is much a larger frozen over lake

[ashen olive]

oh

[subtle parrot]

They're pretty rare

[ashen olive]

so is this 24+14, so 38 total? Or is my base skill level 10, and the 14 makes it 24

[hollow mantle]

Unequip whatever is giving you the +14 and check again…

[ashen olive]

...

yeah ok why didn't I think of that. Fair point

its 24+14

ty

[hollow mantle]

I was going to say “based on the size of bar, I think it’s 24+14=38”

[lilac coyote]

The midpoint on the bar will be 50 too, as the max skill is100

[compact heath]

it also can't go higher than 100 so 100+14 will still be 100

[ashen olive]

ah I see

how big of a difference is 14 levels? I don't see anywhere in game that shows me the damage increase per level

[keen glacier]

For bows:
lvl 100 : +141% damage and knockback, reduces stamina drain by -33%, reduce drawspeed by -80%
thus, we're getting 1.25% faster draw speed per level, along with some bonus damage etc.

14 skill levels will feel pretty noticeable

[ashen olive]

neat, so +14 would give 19.74% damage and knockback, reduce stamina drain by 4.62% and increase draw speed by 11.2%

[keen glacier]

most would agree that Bow skill is the most impactful skill to level up, pound for pound

[ashen olive]

thats quite substantial

am currently going around looking for frost caves to upgrade fenris armor. is the movement speed worth losing the root set archery bonus?

the fenris set looks really cool

[keen glacier]

imho, yes, very much so. I greatly prefer the extra movement speed. That said, you'll feel the drop in your draw speed when you switch. Try to compensate with some extra skill training

A lot of people keep the Root chest and just run Fenris for the pants and mayb helm too (though metal helm is certainly a viable choice as well)

that pierce resistance is beyond OP 😉

I wore mine all the way through the Ashlands. Wouldn't trade it for anything

[ashen olive]

isnt the ashlands on fire? how did you deal with the fire vulnerability

[keen glacier]

barley wine (fire resistance potion) does the trick. It replaces your weakness with 50% resistance, straight up. I carried 10x on me at all points, though to be honest, I really only found myself drinking them for a few specific fights. Definitely no need to have them on 100% of the time, thats for sure

[ashen olive]

ah I see

[hollow mantle]

Out of interest, what gives this?

[ashen olive]

Root set

the stuff made from Abomination drops

[ashen olive]

so how would I do skill training? just go around fiiring at stuff with wood arrows?

do I need to hit a living creature?

[hollow mantle]

Ah, nice.

[keen glacier]

yes, you need to hit a living creature. Bear in mind, however, that your skill increases anytime you hit any creature, regardless of how much damage you hit them for. This means that we can rapidly tap the fire-button (w/out drawing the bow back) and that limp-pool-noodle of an arrow that comes out will technically give us just as much experience as a fully-drawn hit will give.
So... how can we abuse this? The easiest way is to simply find a greydwarf spawner, lure a shaman away from it, stand right in his face and fire off 100+ wood arrows, giving him time to regenerate health. The better way is to find a skeleton spawner (swamp or mountain) and cover it up with stone walls. The skeletons will spawn in such a way that they clip into the floor, rendering them stuck and allowing you to do the same rapid fire trick while standing on your stone structure. Either way, we're getting ourselves up to point blank range so that we cannot miss and rapidly machine-gun-firing our bow into something. Bring 1,000 wood arrows with you 😉

[ashen olive]

ty!

[keen glacier]

no problem. enjoy 💪

[ashen olive]

hmm ill need to bring spare bows too lol

[keen glacier]

or just a finewood bow and a workbench

[ashen olive]

true

[keen glacier]

repair on the fly, and less stamina draw, too

[stark spire]

Hello, is there a way to hide a player's own position on the map screen?

[ashen olive]

unselect that

[stark spire]

No that hide your position to other

[ashen olive]

bottom right of the map

[keen glacier]

oooooh, you're asking about having a map with no live info

[stark spire]

I want a map where I'm not able to see myself on it

[keen glacier]

yes, that can totally be done, but you'll need a small mod

[ashen olive]

neat. interesting idea

[keen glacier]

Play on the "no-map" setting and use this:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/shudnal/NomapPrinter/

for the record, what I just described is my favorite way to play. I think it adds soooo much to the game

[stark spire]

From my understanding this mod would also allow me to share map markers between players?

[keen glacier]

I think it has that feature now, yes. I normally don't use the pin-sharing, however

[ashen olive]

sharing map markers is vanilla with the cartography table

[real nebula]

No mod links on the main channels, please

[keen glacier]

Oh, sorry

[real nebula]

Can always link to #mods-discussion

[stark spire]

That's an ingame item? I assume it comes in late? I really would like us to fill our own map together and use the environment as reference, because we're 10 hours in and it's GPS all the way and I feel like it hurts exploration

[ashen olive]

bronze age :D

[keen glacier]

Agreed, I also feel like the Viking-Era GPS really hurts immersive exploration. Like DarkPhoenix posted, however, the cartography table is easy to make as soon as you reach the bronze age.

[ashen olive]

you record your own map with the left side of it, and others can add to the stored map

by interacting with the right side, you copy the stored map onto your own one

For example. My markers are white, the markers other players added are grey

[stark spire]

I'll have to check again but I don't remember seeing this in my list, but I definitely have everything required ^^

[keen glacier]

with the mod and world-setting that we discussed, however, you will have no map at all until you build the cartography table, at which point you'll have a version of the map with no live information whatsoever, and said map will only update when you interact with the cartography table again. You can even set it so that you can only open the map while next to a cartography table (real cool, imho)

[stark spire]

Pretty neat, I just need to get that yellow arrow out ^^

[ashen olive]

viking gps is alright imo. could just chalk it up to Odin giving you a perk to help you cleanse Valheim

Also, eventually you don't even use it that much, as you remember the terrain when travelling it often :D

[keen glacier]

yeah agreed... satellite technology is way too far out for vikings to be using

[keen glacier]

phoenix it sounds like you're already ready to turn your map off, too. Just try it 😉

[ashen olive]

who needs satellites when you have the allfather watching lol

[keen glacier]

kill the portals while yo'ure at it

[stark spire]

I think it is a tad too extreme for the players I'm adventuring with. I need a balance between realism and convinience ^^

[keen glacier]

yeah I get that, haha

[ashen olive]

why would I turn off QoL lol

actually making the game worse by doing so

[viral narwhal]

Preach

[ashen olive]

(also, they look really cool so why would I get rid of them?)

[keen glacier]

idk, I feel like it adds a lot to the game. I gain experiences that I would never otherwise have had, as i'm forced to approach the game differently

[ashen olive]

to each their own :D

[keen glacier]

the feeling when i've successfully navigated a long sea voyage without a map... mmmm, sooo juicy

[viral narwhal]

Eh maybe if the oceon were interesting

[ashen olive]

I mean, sure, but we don't have a compass afaik, and I don't think the skybox stars are reliable enough to navigate by

not even sure how the skybox is drawn relative to the player, so the stars might even be a detriment

[keen glacier]

ahhh, but we do! Yggdrasil grows from the east, towards the west-northwest

[ashen olive]

thats.... a fair point

[keen glacier]

not only will it therefore tell us our current bearing, but we can also use it like an astrolabe. We can gauge our relative position on the world map by looking up at the sky and comparing where "along the tree" we currently are

more of an art than a science, but it totally works

[ashen olive]

oh? so the tree is an actual object and not just drawn on the skybox?

[keen glacier]

yessir it is

[ashen olive]

oohh

[keen glacier]

yaaasss, the possibilies 😉

[ashen olive]

if I follow it east will I get to where it grows from? or is it outside the world border

[keen glacier]

have a look at it rn... look at the root. You notice alllll the way near the very base, the root has a sizeable hump? This hump more-or-less correlates with the eastern edge of the world

you won't be able to progress beyond here, of course

[ashen olive]

neat

whats this one?

[sudden galleon]

pay your bill 🤣 nah im just kidding, it mean you lost conection to the server

[ashen olive]

ah ok

[supple shore]

These lox have been here forever but dont want to eat the cloudberries

its just these two

i have a chicken farm nearby as well but thats fine

[dim ingot]

once im done with my ship can i not deconstruct it?

[agile vault]

Is this game pvp and how do private server work r they crossplay?

[compact heath]

You have to "deconstruct" it by hitting with the axe until it breaks, if you are in shallow water and can carry all the mats in terms of inventory space and weight you'll get everything back easily. I think one of the reasons why you cannot do it with the hammer is the thing where it could be dangerous if you accidentally did this on the high seas with a boat full of metal etc..

[compact heath]

There is servers with crossplay and also ones without I believe. #1024264966712340510 Some do certain things and may encourage PvP but the game at its core has much more PvE elements then PvP in my opinion

[stark spire]

Can you recycle tools?

[steep tusk]

No.

Repair, Store, or Obliterate.

[jagged badge]

I've tried and I've tried, and i've died and I've died. whats the best way to get in contact with someone from the BRS? I'm in the mountains biome.

[stark spire]

running dedicated server I get this outpout starting it out

Is there an underlying problem or is this expected based on the procedural generation?

[supple shore]

anyone got a solution here

[spark thorn]

Can I skip silver tier? I’m already not liking the prospect of farming veins that u can’t even see. Also, is there a buckler beyond the silver one?

[dire hamlet]

Join their discord server, follow the instructions an open a ticket

[dire hamlet]

Yes but you will miss out on some station upgrades and yes there is another buckler later on

[spark thorn]

Okay I’ll get the upgrades but skip the gear and max out iron. What’s the next buckler? I don’t see it on the wiki

[dire hamlet]

Carapace in the mistlands

[ashen olive]

How bad is the exp loss from death? Lets say I die with a level 100 skill

[dire hamlet]

5% as standard (can be changed in the world modifiers)

[ashen olive]

Is that 5% of a level? Or 5% total exp gained?

Like, would i drop to level 99 with some exp needed to go back to 100? Or will it send me back to 95, or something like that

[spark thorn]

How much does block skill affect shield stats?

[dire hamlet]

5% of total so any level 100 skill will drop to 95 and fx level 20 will drop to 19

[dire hamlet]

Look at the yellow number in the (number)
When looking at the shield stat

[spark thorn]

What’s the difference between 0 and 100?

[dire hamlet]

About 150% bonus

Or + 50% more than the orange displayed stat

[hollow crown]

Considering how long it takes to level, and the death spirals that happen, that is very harsh xD

[steep tusk]

(1 + 0.005 * Bs) * Ba * Pb

s = Skill
a = Armor
Pb = Parry Bonus

0 skill = Armor * Parry * 1
100 skill = Armor * Parry * 1.5

For more than you ever wanted to know about Blocking: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zuJ2BACwMq-cZXrc7fJOw8hDGp5ROKeBVcf73IzRrlw/edit?gid=2132535813#gid=2132535813

[steep tusk]

Shield rank does more than skill does.

Also for leveling - Grab any Tower Shield of Iron or higher and just go Facetank Elder's Root patches.
You will level very quickly.

Even faster if you can do it while he's using his Ranged Attack.

[ashen olive]

As the death penalty is 5%, what's a good skill level to keep skills at? 100 seems like a waste of time

[steep tusk]

Game isn't balanced around you having any level of skills.
They are legit just free bonuses.

[ashen olive]

Ah ok

That's good to know. Ty!

[steep tusk]

But also... have you tried not dying? 😛 😉 😏

(I poke, I poke)

[ashen olive]

It's hard. I like exploring and thus end up dying to things ive never seen before. Am pretty new :D

[steep tusk]

That's fair.

[ashen olive]

But yeah, literal skill issue lol

[steep tusk]

I mean if you are caring about keeping skills high, that's moreso something you can easily go back and grind up once you hit the Plains.

[ashen olive]

The mountain was rough when I first went to it, in my troll set... The wolves were too fast and my aim with the bow too poor...

[steep tusk]

Wolves are all about sound.

[ashen olive]

But that's good to know. Guess I'll just spam wooden arrows for a while to get those bonuses :D

Being able to do 141% more damage seems very nice

[steep tusk]

The moment you hear the growl press Block and you will get the perfect parry every time.

[ashen olive]

I just use frost arrows now. Can't bite me if they can't move!

[steep tusk]

Bows and Any Melee Weapon Other Than Mace --> Build the crappiest, unupgraded version of it possible and go summon Bonemass.

Blocking --> Elder

[steep palm]

Frostner works good on bonemass

[steep tusk]

Not if you're trying to level a skill it doesn't 😉

Kills him too fast.

Skill leveling is about maximizing the number of individual hits.

[steep palm]

Fair point

[ashen olive]

We as a group haven't decided to do bonemass yet but I'll keep it in mind! Am bullying a shaman with wooden arrows rn

[steep tusk]

So for bow, you'd build like 2-3 Crude Bows at rank 1 and take a fuckton of Wood Arrows so you're doing the least amount of damage possible.

Bring Frostner/Iron Mace/Sledge so you can one-shot the adds when they spawn, yes.

I wonder if it would be funny to just re-summon bosses after killing them and leave the area.

So if you or anyone else ever goes back they are just floating around 😄

[steep tusk]

Serpent Shield is actually idea for farming Block with Elder if you can manage to get the scales.

Otherwise Blackmetal Tower Shield is also you taking less damage than your natural regen will heal through.

[steep palm]

That’s my favorite shield

[steep tusk]

It has its moments.

[spark thorn]

What is BS?

[steep tusk]

s = Skill
a = Armor
Pb = Parry Bonus

[spark thorn]

So Bs = block skill, Ba = block armor?

The google sheet doesn’t seem to have the stats at max level and block skill.

[steep tusk]

||I don't know how to say "Good job. I believed in your ability to use deductive reasoning!" without sounding like a condescending dickhole...||

Yes. 👍

[steep tusk]

Um... yes it does.
I spent many, many hours making sure it did while writing it.

[spark thorn]

Ah. That’s why. Mobile sucks

[steep tusk]

Definitely do not read that sheet on mobile.

It is a wide sheet due to its nature.

Also please, for the love of Odin, read the READ ME for understanding how to use the information.

I do need to add a blurb though, one sec.

[spark thorn]

So if my understanding is right, that shows the amount of damage that bleeds through?

[steep tusk]

Very first line on the read me.

What this sheet does is show how much health is needed for a block to succeed against individual enemies given a certain weapon or shield is being used.

[spark thorn]

I’m new at Valheim so I need a tad more expansion. So in order to succeed in a block/parry, you need HP? Are we talking for surviving the chip damage or is HP somehow calculated in some formula?

[steep tusk]

Have you read the entire Read Me page?

Because it answers all of that.

[spark thorn]

Yea

I’m confused how the stagger meter works. Does your HP determine how big it is?

[steep tusk]

So you read the Read Me page?

[spark thorn]

Oh I didn’t scroll to the right

[spark thorn]

“there is a calculation that is done using the same formula your worn armor uses. If blocking the attack would fill your stagger meter before factoring your worn armor, the block fails.”

So basically, if an attack does more than 40% of your max HP, you can’t block or parry it no matter your shield?

[spark thorn]

Don’t have another choice. It’s late and figured I’d do some phone researching before bed. Thank you for your patients

[steep tusk]

Give me a second to translate some of the math into words.

[spark thorn]

Take your time. I’m probably gonna log off and try to approach this tomorrow on my PC and write out more thought out questions

[steep tusk]

I'm also just re-writing the very bottom of Read Me as it apparently is unclear.

[spark thorn]

No ive only played like 20 hours and haven’t looked into the game mechanically, im just dumb

Ultimately I’m just tryna figure out which shield is best at max upgrade and 100 block: carapace buckler or flametal round shield/tower shield

[steep tusk]

Third tab.

If blocking - shield
If parrying - buckler

[spark thorn]

And these values are at 100 block skill?

[steep tusk]

Block skill does not affect the stats of your shield in any way.

[spark thorn]

What if i ran a tower shield for things i cant block and then a parry shield for ones i can like a demon 😎

[steep tusk]

"What if I ran tower shield" -- then you hate life 🤷‍♂️

[spark thorn]

#valheim-help message
Then what was this referring to?

[steep tusk]

Also, everything you cannot parry with a Carapace Buckler will still stagger this shit out of you with a Tower Shield.

[spark thorn]

Flametal seems okay. It doesn’t have as costly a penalty and bosses can’t be staggered. Idk. I’m grasping at straws

[steep tusk]

You see how Ba and Bs are different variables?

[steep tusk]

Roll for bosses. Always roll.

[spark thorn]

Yeah. What does that equation total?

[steep tusk]

You really need to read the Read Me, lol.

Because that exact equation is in the bottom right.

[spark thorn]

(1 + 0.005 * Bs) * Ba * Pb = ?

[steep tusk]

Taking the Mechanics section and elaborating:

[spark thorn]

Okay lemme see if I understand

If the damage is >50% of your block armor, regardless of your block skill or parry bonus, then you take the 1st formula

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[spark thorn]

If the damage is less than 50% of your block armor, then you take 1/4 of the Damage ^2 divided by all that other stuff

[steep tusk]

Wait.

[steep tusk]

I misspoke on this one.
Skill doesn't matter, but if you're Parrying then the Parry Bonus will be applied to the initial check.

[spark thorn]

So then the excel sheet should says: if D> Ba*Pb/2 but only if parrying? If you just mindlessly hold down it’s still Ba/2?

[steep tusk]

Already fixed. I did also just completely rewrite this section from what it used to say.

So mistakes from on-the-fly rewrites can happen.

I'm also double-checking the skill thing just to be 100% sure.

afaik skill isn't in that initial check, but I can confirm in like 60s.

[spark thorn]

So then, 100 block skill roughly turns the 1->1.5 in the first bracket. Which is roughly a 33% damage decrease on all damage regardless of formula

[steep tusk]

Not quite, lemme finish checking this thing really fast.

[spark thorn]

Fuck if I need to plug in a real example.

100 damage. Block skill 100, block armor 1, parry bonus 1.5

Damage taken 100 skill = 100 - (1.5)(1)(1.5) = 97.75. 2.25 damage reduced

Damage taken 0 skill = 100 - (1.005)(1)(1.5) = 98.5. 1.5 damage reduced

2.25/1.5 = 50%. So you get an extra 50% off the damage taken which amounts to. Makes sense.

So at 0 skill, if you were to shave off 30, you shave off 45 at 100 skill

[steep tusk]

The sheet isn't about Damage Taken.

The sheet is about can you block it?

[spark thorn]

I was messing around with this cuz I like formula

[spark thorn]

And that goes back to the 40% health stagger thing? I see it says the applicable damage is what is used

[steep tusk]

Dt has to >= 40% Max HP
And Dt only comes out after you factor all the armor stuff in the formula.

So if you have 100 HP and you try to block 40 damage, it will work just fine, because you won't actuall take 40 damage.

[spark thorn]

So I guess the TLDR is basically, if an attack does more than double of your Ba, probably shouldn’t even bother blocking/parrying

[steep tusk]

TLDR is use the sheet if you're curious.

Grey numbers are "don't even need food" while Red numbers are "cannot be blocked ever as the maximum HHH food setup doesn't even have enough health to not stagger."

[spark thorn]

How does bonemass buff play into this?

[steep tusk]

I do need to fix it though, because I just realized I missed 1 number on every single page 😭

[spark thorn]

Glad I could help I guess hahah

[steep tusk]

Bonemass is only post-block.

[spark thorn]

So bonemass is treated as extra armor then.

[steep tusk]

Resistance*

Key difference in mechanics between the terms.

[spark thorn]

So since it’s post block, it doesn’t change your DT threshold, but can affect whether a move staggers?

[spark thorn]

Tomorrow, when I am smarter, I will come back to this topic about what that means

[steep tusk]

Ping me, because I will have finished fixing things by that time.

[spark thorn]

So for a carapace buckler, at 100 block skill and max level, I would expect to (1.5)(90)(2.5) as my part of the equation. So that’s 337.5

For a 1000 damage theoretical attack, that comes out to be 1000 -337.5 = 662.5 which would require 662.5/0.4 =1656 HP to not stagger if parrying.

If that same thing was applied to a 100 damage attack, you’d take (100^2)/4 divided by 337.5 so 7.4 which would require 7.4/0.4 = 18.5 HP to not stagger.

It’s kinda funny. You actually get less benefits in the lower bracket vs the higher one

Last question; you said this sheet was about can you block and not about damage taken. does that mean each attack is coded to have HP damage and “stagger damage” separately?

[steep tusk]

No.

[spark thorn]

Okay that makes sense. The sheet makes sense. I’ll be sure from now on to just stack all health items for max parry potential

It’s all clicking. Thank you for your help. I’ll be back later to ask about what resistances mean

[steep tusk]

I was specifically saying no to the last part of it.

Currently testing things so am not fully reading.

[spark thorn]

I got that. Damage is just damage. 18.5 damage of chip is taken and then compared to your HP to see if you can parry or get staggered

[steep tusk]

There's more to the whole process, but kinda.

Go sleep. Ping me tomorrow.

[steep tusk]

This update is going to take like an an hour 😭

[native quartz]

hey i have a problem but can i ask technical problem
when im in a sunken crypt for quiet while it just crash

[drowsy briar]

Does the Ashvin Cloak work with Moder skill on land please?

[tired notch]

The moder power does not make you faster with the cape.

[drowsy briar]

I know that. I was wondering if it works the way it does with ships. So that when I use it with the cape on, it will counts as if I'm downwind all the time.

[urban fog]

Does anyone know how I can play Valheim online with my friend on our Steam Decks?

We can't seem to join each other's servers

[iron quiver]

for using running magic gear what kind of food do you guys eat? 3/3 eitr or 2/3 eitr and one stam/hp ?

[floral token]

2/3 eitr

[hollow mantle]

The best way would be to get yourselves a dedicated server.

[tawdry eagle]

I need help please and no one is replying ?

[slim summit]

Help with what?

[tawdry eagle]

Trying to find a server on Xbox to join

[slim summit]

I will say wait more then 13 minutes 🙂

[tawdry eagle]

I mean I've tryed on and off for over a month lol I'm getting fed up haha

[ripe wasp]

Is there a way to stop camera shaking when summoning bosses?

[steel thorn]

is it general consensus that muckshakes arent worth making?

[lilac coyote]

At 50 Stamina it's the second highest in the biome.

[steel thorn]

i suppose I should have clarified: For HHS, given that turnip stew is better.

[lilac coyote]

Well, in that very specific instance, then no, it's not worth it.

[fringe sundial]

There should be something under the visual settings to disable it. Plenty of YouTube videos on it if you need a guide.

[ripe wasp]

no guide needed, found camera shake in accessibility settings. I just needed to know if this was in the game or not

[fringe sundial]

Ah. Forgot since I disabled it forever ago and wasn't sure if it was bundled into another setting (like chromatic whatever).

[ripe wasp]

It's been very annoying, im leveling blood magic at elder and its hard to see where the particles are going

[fringe sundial]

Very much agree. It would be another matter if it was a slight shake when there was a big impact near by, but to have it on every boss summon and that violent, is another matter.

[ripe wasp]

i dont mind the shakes from a big troll, thats shaking, but i dont like the very aggressive shaking

[steep tusk]

People agreeing on something? Heresy. This is Discord.
We must fight and argue.

[fringe sundial]

Correct, this isn't discourse it's discord!😋

[hollow crown]

My smelters are intermittently turning off, I assume it's about air space/ventilation, how much ventilation do the smelters need?

[dire hamlet]

enough that the smoke can get out so the smelters doesn't get suffocated, so a 2 x 2 area above and a way for the smoke to get out

[hollow crown]

Thank you

[hollow crown]

Though it seems I have that, perhaps the roof is just too low, is it perhaps a 2x2x2?

[dire hamlet]

you only have 1 high

due to the less steep roof

[hollow crown]

Yes, that's why I asked if it needs to be a 2x2x2 rather than just 2x2 and vented. Ok understood, thanks!

[mighty ermine]

im on PC - and my game keeps crashing at the loading screen. anyone know why?

never had any issues before until today

my wife cannot make a game either - just gets stuck at "loading......"

we have validated our files -- uninstall / reinstalled -- etc.

[frank bobcat]

have u tried joining another person's server to see if its just some corrupted files?

[lucid aurora]

Hey all, someone told me that pinning the trophy's on the wall will make it that those type of mobs will come to take revenge with invasions? Is that true or just a fable?

[sudden galleon]

killing a biome boss is whats unlocking the '' invasion'' not monster trophy so you can hang all the trophy you want, killing hildir mini boss quest also trigger raid

[lucid aurora]

Thanks 🙂

I thought as much, people pulling my leg 😄

[sudden galleon]

is it the first time you play since ashland release ?

[mighty ermine]

yes

[sudden galleon]

alright then let it go if the none responding window pup up click on wait . ashland release bring lots of land change it take time( some peep it take 5 min some take 10min) let the game cook, it should work 😉

[mighty ermine]

ok, thank you

[sudden galleon]

after the first lunch it should take the usual time to load

[lilac coyote]

I always work better after lunch.

[steep tusk]

I always nap after lunch.

[frail cave]

Can't create a character when i press on create nothing happens and its my first character as i deleted my old ones. help

[gray geode]

hey I'm on pc how do I invite someone on xbox?

[frank bobcat]

does flint respawn? i need flint and i cant find more at my current biome

then it must be a real slow cooldown, cuz i cant find any

[rocky sphinx]

You have to open one of your worlds as a server for you and your friend to play

Then you make a password and send it to them, and also the join code

[lilac coyote]

You could always try another bit of Black Forest.

[feral mantle]

anyone know why I lag every like min or so when rending stuff I havea a really good pc

[fringe sundial]

If it is consistent, it might be the auto save. Every time it does save, I lag a little.

[feral mantle]

its not auto save its litter stutters when rendering

[fringe sundial]

Are you playing on a laptop?

[feral mantle]

no a gaming desktop

[fringe sundial]

Does it have a decent CPU? Most gaming computers are GPU focused.

[feral mantle]

i have a ryzen 7 7800x3d

[fringe sundial]

Hmm... are you running max visual specs in game or something below max?

[feral mantle]

max

[fringe sundial]

You could try playing with lower specs and see if that helps, otherwise I'm not sure what else might help.

[feral mantle]

yea ive tried lowering it but idk. its not likek bad spieks just littel annoying stutters

[fringe sundial]

Are all your settings and hardware matching (ie: a 1080p monitor and 1080p settings)?

[feral mantle]

yes I am running 1440p

[fringe sundial]

Shoot, out of ideas to test.

[feral mantle]

yea idk what else to do but thanks

[fringe sundial]

Np, and good luck with your valheim journey.

[frank bobcat]

which shield should i use? or should i even use a shield?

[fringe sundial]

depends on your preferred play style. the smaller sheild more people like because you can parry with it and cause the enemy to stagger(giving you bonus damage against them for a short while).
the larger sheild is more for if you don't want to or cant parry. it has higher default damage mitigation but will slow you down more.
there is always option 3 (no sheilds), as you mentioned.
all play styles are valid, but some are more used than others.

[red copper]

Yo is it not possible to upgrade the gem weapons?

Or do you have to upgrade them before enchanting?

[fringe sundial]

if you make a base weapon into a gem weapon, if will go to level 0 of the gem even if it is max level.

to answer the other question, like all weapons prior, you need the appropriate workbench/forge/ect. level to upgrade anything.

[long escarp]

Hello, is there a Mod or setting to stop higher tier mobs from spawning in lower tier biomes as bosses are progressively defeated?
i see fulings, seekers, and charred spawning in meadows at night mostly, and black forest at all times now. how can this be stopped?

[compact heath]

it should not be during the day, only at night, are you sure? there are devcommands to set some bosses to "unkilled" to prevent this

[dark fog]

You should turn them into the gem versions of the weapons before doing any upgrading

[dark fog]

Oh you might be missing the black forge upgrade for them. Do you have a Gem Cutter?

Made with a bloodstone.

[modest crystal]

What do I need to do in Ashlands

[lilac coyote]

Same as every other biome. Gather resources, build new armour and weapons, kill boss.

[modest crystal]

What is the best weapon to use in Ashlands?

[compact heath]

what are your skills? mage or melee or archer? normal mode, hard or very hard mode? this is also somewhat subjective

[modest crystal]

Sword and bow normal mode

[compact heath]

Thundering Berskerir Axes are quite good though, especially with high axes skill and on normal or hard mode, Klaussen is great at very hard mode

[compact heath]

Nidhogg the Thundering is a nice sword, in terms of bow most people use the green or the ligthning one I believe, Mistlands spinesnap bow is also quite good for a bow in Ashlands because of the spirit damage, many monsters are pierce resistant though

[modest crystal]

Thanks

[compact heath]

Root Fang (bow) i haven't used myself but I believe it makes flying things drop to the ground if it procs, very cool (maybe someone can confirm if that is still the case)

[ashen olive]

AAA what the heck is this? came out of a frost cave and this came up. 8 wolves came at me all at once

Is this something that happens after breaking a bunch of wolf cult stuff?

[compact heath]

Its a raid event, triggered after you kill Bonemass, the only event that can happen with no base items present anywhere in the world if in the right biome (mountains or plains)

[ashen olive]

yikes. so I got unlucky

[compact heath]

it is quite a tough one

[lilac coyote]

Only Mountains or Plains.

[compact heath]

true

[ashen olive]

damn they didnt despawn so theyre around my grave, and im dead again lol

[sudden galleon]

wolf even its not after moder?

[compact heath]

Wolf raid event is triggered by killing Bonemass and can then not be deactivated by killing another boss

[steel thorn]

crops cant like, rot if you leave them fully grown ready to be picked right?

[frank bobcat]

can i still parry with weapons? everytime i try to do it i end up being damaged anyway so thats why i thought shields would be a better option

also is it normal to burial chambers not having any loot at all? i got the courage to finally explore my first one, and all the ways ended up being dead ends

[fringe sundial]

Yes for weapons. The wiki should list as possible, but you would need higher max health to pull it off(more so than with a sheild). Unless the burial chamber is exceptionally small, they should have loot in addition to monster drops.

Sometimes on the floor, sometimes on a alter, sometimes in a chest.

[compact heath]

they will never rot they will wait for you, once ready they will not change

[steel thorn]

thank you^^^

[uneven idol]

it wont let me start a world

when i press new and done it dosent make the world

i also cant press on world modifires

[fringe sundial]

you have "start server" turned on. are you wanting to make a multiplayer world or a solo one? servers/multiplayer have different rules on how they get set up vs a single player world.

[uneven idol]

multiplayer

[fringe sundial]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 would be your best bet for a step-by-step, if it isn't already listed in a pinned message somewhere.

[steel thorn]

Frostner is a priority to make right?

[fringe sundial]

it is useful in the ashlands(blunt and frost damage) and often in the mists(slow from frost) is how I understand it.

[fringe sundial]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 would be the place to go for server/multiplayer related troubleshooting.

[coral crow]

THANKS

[zenith lion]

I can’t craft iron nails , why?

[compact heath]

you have smelted iron and a forge?

[zenith lion]

Yes , i also progressed into the mountains

[compact heath]

I have never heard of this as a bug, do you have any mod installed that could potentially interfere with it? you can normally always craft iron nails in your forge as soon as you have 1 smelted iron to unlock the recipe (not iron ore)

[zenith lion]

No mods ! I recently downloaded it from steam

Can only craft bronze nails

[frail cave]

are you looking at the right part of the crafting list?
it's alphabetically sorted based on the item IDs. if it was NailsBronze and NailsIron, both would be in the same place, but surprisingly it's BronzeNails and IronNails, so they should be a bit apart

[hardy veldt]

i got a level 3 finewood bow with 40 fire arrows will that be enough?

[fringe sundial]

that would depend on what you are doing with the bow+arrows. 40 might not be enough for the elder, but should be plenty to take down a graydwarf nest.

[worldly root]

can anyone help i am having cloud sync errors and just lost 6 hours of progress that can transfer

[steep tusk]

This is why I disabled cloud sync 🤷‍♂️

[worldly root]

I played on my laptop and it was saving the game play, but from last time i played to tonight its not syncing

[frail cave]

Somebody can help me kill second boss please

[analog radish]

Is there any difference between Microsoft and Steam Valheim?

[steep tusk]

No.

[true steeple]

No, and there is crossplay between them

[analog radish]

Are there any differences in content and are the updates rolling out at the same time?

[steep tusk]

No.

It is the same game.

[buoyant peak]

No

Yes

[stark spire]

Hello, I mooved our game to a dedicated server, and I was wondering if it was possible to pause the game when no one is logged in?

[true steeple]

Doesn’t it do that by default?

[fringe vigil]

What's the best fish to go for in terms of raw fish salvage rate?

we're in plains at the moment, I can't find any data online on which fish salvage for most raw fish

[fringe sundial]

The higher the fish level, the more it makes for salvage.

But, once you get to the mists, go for the angler, so you can craft the fish and bread.

[fringe vigil]

so a lvl 1 fish in an endgame area requiring endgame bait gives the same amount of raw fish as a lvl 1 fish in the starting zone with basic bait? that sounds silly

[tired notch]

No

[fringe sundial]

Think it's on wiki...let me look.

[true steeple]

What do you need so much raw fish for?

[fringe vigil]

fish wraps for 3 people

[stark spire]

It seems to have kept saving backups, but maybe I'm remembering the former day wrong. I'll keep an eye on it

[tired notch]

@fringe vigil https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fish There's the table

[fringe sundial]

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

The end game fish give more, but not much.

[true steeple]

Check the day count when you log out and reconnect

[fringe vigil]

ah ty, I only checked the raw fish wiki page, my fault

[fringe sundial]

13 for easy catch/early biome fish for a lvl5 vs 15 for endgame fish lvl5.

[tired notch]

no problem, I'd recommend you build something to trap jumping fish around shores you're going to be near a lot, such as a base or something.

[subtle parrot]

To my knowledge that isn't really possible, but that being said on a rented server you can't use cheats or console commands on the server but that isn't going to stop someone from going to a personal world and spawning whatever they want and coming back in to the rented server. But you might get a better/more detailed answer in #dedicated-server

[loud linden]

hugs for putting in that kind of effort on a reply to a post that had no conviction.

[slim sun]

I suddenly have huge framedrops in the base, no clue why.
Actually it seems to be something in front of the base in the water (trying to triangulate it), but no idea what...
even with a detached camera floating around I can see nothing loading in at that point....

Screenshots showing a ~10m distance causing frames to drop from 59 to 10. The problem is "behind me" in the screenshots.

any ideas?
In the base fps drops to 5fps, but I think going from 9 to 5fps is just the usual 10k part problem which used to drop me from 60 to 30. But since a few days without much building... 5fps

I do play modded, but others on the server have no issues, don't think I did update anything either

note the instance count is also <1k, basically nothing

I think I have found the mod causing it XDDD

[frail cave]

sounds like map marker clutter caused by a mod

[slim sun]

yessss exactly! why did I not ask you days ago XDD

[steep tusk]

Another "no mods, problem solved" scenario 😉

[fathom badge]

We've also got the #mods-issues channel which can help narrow things down more quickly, as when asked here it's often assumed to not have mods

[slim sun]

hehe, but absolutely no mods is not fun

[steep tusk]

False.

[slim sun]

:P taste

[hardy veldt]

do i really need poision res potions? im about to go to swamp i got a level 3 finewood bow level 2 troll armor and a bronze atgeir

[slim sun]

any easy way to clear my map?

[steep tusk]

Need? No.
Highly recommended.

[hardy veldt]

what about a bronze mace?

[steel thorn]

poison will dissolve you. Make the pots

[steep tusk]

I use Wooden Club 🤷‍♂️

[hardy veldt]

ok

upgraded?

[steep tusk]

Aye.

[cyan gazelle]

they will attack u if u hit that with the pickaxe?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[cyan gazelle]

and if the totem is destroyed?

[steep tusk]

They will hate you no matter what you do. So just kill them.

[cyan gazelle]

they are pretty strong

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[slim sun]

well thatϑs technically also true for vanilla• just wanted to glue the solution to my problem for people coming here via search

[steep tusk]

People looking for mod solutions shouldn't be in this channel.

They should be in the appropriate mod channels looking for their mod solutions.

[slim sun]

well i did. anyways, next time I'll ask there right away :)

[hardy veldt]

what do i need to make an obliterator?

[steel thorn]

thunderstone from haldor

and iron i think

[real nebula]

No mod links in the main channels, please

[hardy veldt]

should i use a bronze shield or dodge roll in the swamp?

[serene yarrow]

hi i just bought the game and honestly im stuck on the workbench part, it says it needs a roof, does that mean i should build a little house?

[hollow mantle]

yes

[serene yarrow]

thanks!

[hardy veldt]

what does hildir sell?

[fringe sundial]

Clothing that decreases stamina use when using the building hammer, hoe and cultivator I believe. She will have more options if you get all 3 chests for her....oh and a barbershop(work bench for changing hair style),fireworks and the iron brazier thing.

[hardy veldt]

basically just a ton of junk

[brittle bloom]

Which mod was it as I am having the same FPS issues?

[brittle bloom]

Exactly, the quests I would do once to say u did them but never again. For access to some pointless clothing u add 3 really hard raids on ya base. The Sealed Tower is alot of fun thou.

[lilac coyote]

Not remotely. The buffs are great.

[frank bobcat]

does stagbreaker not repair?

[tired notch]

Yes it does

[lilac coyote]

Is it level 2 bench?

[frank bobcat]

makes sense, i was trying to repair it on a workbench out in the wild with just a roof on top cuz my tools were kinda broken lol

[steel thorn]

how long is being hunted supposed to last? Ive slaughtered like 25 wolves and its still going...

[lilac coyote]

Like most events, 2 minutes.

[steel thorn]

thought it was based on how many you kill RIP

[lilac coyote]

No?

[steel thorn]

?

[lilac coyote]

What?

[steel thorn]

Idk I thought we were just doing a thing with question marks?

[lilac coyote]

Not really. You tend to actually have to ask a question too.

[fringe sundial]

the abundance of question marks would fit nicely with your user name....

[steel thorn]

See?

[fringe sundial]

as an "indecisiveOne"

[steel thorn]

now here's a question: Do I have to haul 3 eggs to the altar together or sacrificing them one by one works?

[lilac coyote]

You can put them in place one at a time.

[fringe sundial]

you need the number in the alter to make the sacrifice happen, but you don't need to put them in all at once.

them eggs for modor be heavy

[frank bobcat]

how do i avoid trolls from coming near my base? specially when its a big one

[fringe sundial]

the easiest way would be spawn prevention/suppression. the other option is to have them chase you away from your base and sneak back.

[lilac coyote]

Spawn protection, dig a moat, build a wall, spike traps...

[hardy veldt]

am i ready for swamp?

[frank bobcat]

whats spawn prevention?

[fringe sundial]

certain base items prevent mobs from spawning in a given area. the 2 most common are the work bench and campfires. otherwise, like Derek said, you can use those techniques he listed.

[lilac coyote]

Better food would help.

[hardy veldt]

what kind?

[lilac coyote]

Depends on your playstyle.

[fringe sundial]

carrot soup and deer stew i believe for the swamps

[hardy veldt]

60% health 40% stamina

[lilac coyote]

Carrot soup, deer stew, mincemeat sauce is the best HHS at the end of Black Forest.

[frank bobcat]

well id need a bunch of workbenches to actually cover all the possible ground arond my base so idk if that would work too well

[lilac coyote]

Yep, that's the strat.

[hardy veldt]

do i need carrots or something?

[frank bobcat]

i saw that if i dig into the ground around my base the mobs wont pass through, but will trolls still throw stuff?

[lilac coyote]

For carrot soup? Yeah.

[fringe sundial]

I think the log trolls don't toss rocks...so its a 50/50 if I remember right.

[frank bobcat]

what if instead of holes i built a wall with the ground itself?

[fringe sundial]

that also works. typically if mobs cant see you, they will leave your base alone. the exception is raids.

[brittle bloom]

This levitating rubbish on a flametal node is ridiculous

[steel thorn]

crystal blocks are basically just for making windows right?

[frank bobcat]

alright

[fringe sundial]

yep. unless you wana go over the top, then I can show you a "house of glass" I built using devcommands to see if I could use them as roof materials.

I basically made a cage out of the iron cage pieces, and slapped glass over the whole thing. The "roof" I had to make squares with a "x" of glass in the middle to prevent rain from leaking in, but it is as weatherproof as any roof.

[brittle bloom]

do Flametal ore veins respawn?

[lilac coyote]

Like all ore, no.

[gray geode]

can you transfer worlds to other people? My friend has crap wifi and can't host anymore but we don't wanna lose progress

[red copper]

Asked this question yesterday but didn’t get the answer I’m looking for.

I turned my Berserkir Axes into Thundering version.

Now I can’t upgrade it because I need black forge lvl 5?

Should I have upgraded the axes before making it thundering?

[lilac coyote]

Yes, they can send you the world files.

[gray geode]

how

[lilac coyote]

I dunno, however you normally send people files.

[fringe sundial]

short answer is no, you shouldn't upgrade the base weapon if you are going to gem it later.

making it a gem version will, regardless of current level, drop you to a lvl0 gem weapon, wasting the resources you used to upgrade the base weapon. (if my experience in PTB prior to ashlands becoming live is any indicator).

[compact heath]

Berserkir Axes can be upgraded to maximum of Level 3 with current version of Ashlands build, any gemmed version like Thundering Berserkir Axes can only be upgraded to maximum Level 2, that is how it is (also gemming will reset it to Level 1 even if it was already non-gemmed upgraded to Level 3)

[hardy veldt]

is 74 iron enough to atleast get a mace or shield, and a full set of armor?

[compact heath]

one mace and 1 shield yes but for upgrading you need more, not enough for full set of armour I believe

[hardy veldt]

what should i prioritize first?

[compact heath]

actually 60 gives you the full set, takes 20 per piece so could do that

[hardy veldt]

i should just get up to 80 then

[compact heath]

depends how happy you are with current armour that you're wearing

the iron buckler and the iron mace are both super powerful in swamp

[hardy veldt]

level 2 troll armor rn including cape

if i get hit once im pretty much dead

😭 lol

[fringe sundial]

1 health food or 2?

[hardy veldt]

im eating boar jerky health food and honey

[compact heath]

92 Iron will give you level 1 iron mace and iron buckler, all 3 pieces of level 1 iron armour and enough iron for also a stonecutter

[hardy veldt]

i should just save up then

my bronze mace is doing fine as long as i parry the dragr i can kill him in 2 hits

[fringe sundial]

By swamp you Wana cook up deer stew(hp) and carrot soup(stam) and something else until you get swamp level foods.

[compact heath]

112 iron will give you all that and a level 1 huntsmen bow, iron is very important but its also very good to just smelt something and get started with upgrades that make you stronger

[hardy veldt]

what is a huntsman bow i havent played since release and beat the game and never touched it again

[fringe sundial]

Huntsman is the bow after finewood.

[hardy veldt]

i gotta work for food now i usually just play through the whole game eating berris and meat

[compact heath]

iron tier / swamp tier bow, it has a special ability not many know about, it makes much less noise and therefore you can snipe monsters better than any other bow with it, often you can kill something and something standing very close to it will not even notice it

[fringe sundial]

Yikes, that sounds like a challenge. Only cooked meats and gather able berries.

[hardy veldt]

didnt seem that bad i had 60 stamina 100 health max

[fringe sundial]

Guess I am just use to padding my odds with the best food I can get.

[hardy veldt]

i guess im just a pro at dodge rolling

[fringe sundial]

Ya, that would help.

[cobalt flint]

I need serious help.
I started a world some time ago and I'm at the point where I want to start building portals.
The problem is that the portal isn't in my build menu

I have fine wood, greydwarf eyes, and surtling cores

I tried making multiple characters and joining worlds that I already built portals on

nothing seems to work, and old characters actually have the portals removed from their build menu

[steel thorn]

If you're not using mods, check your world settings to see if portals were accidentally disabled

[cobalt flint]

I checked the world settings on all my saves, and it still wasn't showing up

i might have a mod; its possible it is the issue, but I can't see how

[hardy veldt]

anyone know an easy mid-endgame house i can build?

[cobalt flint]

A castle?

[hardy veldt]

i cant build very good and i always mess up my house

so i need a guide on how to make it

[cobalt flint]

The first step...

I don't know any houses, but I would encourage you to look at guides that help you become a better builder; teach a man to fish, right?

[hardy veldt]

i can show you my house in a little bit and lmk if i need to upgrade?

[cobalt flint]

sure

[hardy veldt]

im sailing across the sea rn to haldor

on my little boat

[cobalt flint]

@steel thorn The mod I had was doing it. It was a server administrative mod; wierd that it was the issue, but understandable

[hardy veldt]

going directly against wind

[feral mantle]

anyone know why my game stutters every like 10s

[cobalt flint]

check your processor and gpu usage on task manager in the performance tab

if either hits 100% (Likely the processor will), then the best solution would be to find valheim in the details tab, right click, and set the priority to high

[hardy veldt]

my elder fight was a disaster lol i ran out of arrows mid fight nd i was fighting him right next to a plains and then a mosquito came and i killed him before he stung me so i ended up farming trees for woo mid fight💀

[cobalt flint]

a plains? geexz

[feral mantle]

I have a good pc its like 40%

[cobalt flint]

I believe valheim only uses 1 thread, so it could still be the issue

Still set the priority to high, it can make a huge difference

[hardy veldt]

BRO

MY BOAT JUST FLIPPED

[cobalt flint]

R.I.P

[feral mantle]

wait how do i do the performance mode

[cobalt flint]

are you on windows 10 or 11? or something else?

[feral mantle]

11

[cobalt flint]

hmm

[feral mantle]

wait i found it

[cobalt flint]

alright

you need to set the priority of valheim in the details tab, not the performance tab

[feral mantle]

yea i found it

hopefully that works bec i havea good pc and dont see others lag but i do

[hardy veldt]

guess i have to turn on cheats now

[feral mantle]

it still stutters

[cobalt flint]

can you press f5 f2 and tell me the instance count number?

sorry, i meant f2

[feral mantle]

6460

i think its weird but i acc think it stutters when loading deer

maybe im wrong though

[cobalt flint]

I doubt it

what kind of cpu do you have?

[feral mantle]

ryzen 7 7800x3d

[cobalt flint]

im running a ryzen 5 5600xt

[feral mantle]

I shoudlnt be getting stutters

[hardy veldt]

since when could boats flip in storms?

[cobalt flint]

im guessing they can with big enough waves

[feral mantle]

idk what else to do its annoying

[cobalt flint]

is it an fps stutter?

[feral mantle]

i dont think so idk

like it is

but not gpu related

[cobalt flint]

what exactly happens? does the game run smooth then the screen freezes for a short second?

[feral mantle]

yes like it barrely freezes just a little stutter

mostly when moving so im assuming its rendering soemthing

[hardy veldt]

i just need 1 thunder stone to make obliterator right?

[cobalt flint]

im really not sure what the issue could be

[cobalt flint]

i belive so, its been a hot minute

[fierce wedge]

Hello, does it happen to anyone else that when they start the game it closes?

[feral mantle]

i think the stutters happen everytime the instances go back down

[cobalt flint]

down?

[feral mantle]

it goes from like 6500 to like 5200 then back up

[cobalt flint]

You should do some testing. Check if the stuttering happens in different biomes, and also check if it happens in the deep north

[feral mantle]

it just happens everywhere i go

[cobalt flint]

since the deep north should theoretically have no instances, its a good control for the test

[hardy veldt]

can the longboat flip in storms?

[feral mantle]

how do i get to the deep north

[hardy veldt]

go north

[cobalt flint]

just make a new world and put yourself in dev mode

[feral mantle]

but is there a way to just cheat there

[cobalt flint]

and fly there, or teleport there

[hardy veldt]

just use dev commands

[feral mantle]

how do i fly or teleport

[lilac coyote]

I'm pretty sure that's literally what they're asking.

[cobalt flint]

this is a whole process to get devmode enabled, too

[lilac coyote]

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

[cobalt flint]

oh, you can also try running valheim with vulkan

[feral mantle]

ive tried that

[cobalt flint]

how much ram do you have?

[feral mantle]

32

[cobalt flint]

This might be something - It could be from your ram operating at half it's intended speed

[feral mantle]

its set to 6000mhz

[cobalt flint]

wat

[feral mantle]

lol

[cobalt flint]

i was about to say, thats mega slow

do you know how many fps you get?

[feral mantle]

depends on areas but like 120 to like 180 usually

i cant figure out how to tp therre

i have the console up

[cobalt flint]

try turning vsync on or setting an fps limit

[feral mantle]

i tried that lol

[lilac coyote]

goto x z

[feral mantle]

what do i put for x and y though to go to that place whatever its called

[cobalt flint]

I really am not sure why you are stuttering. think someone more qualified will have to help you ;/

[lilac coyote]

The coordinates for where you want to go.

[fringe sundial]

x and y are the coordinates. you can see them when you ping the map with devcommands enabled and the console open, not sure if there are other ways to see em' though.

[lilac coyote]

Technically you can find them on the map viewer too, but that's outside of the game.

[feral mantle]

idk what else to do ig

[fringe sundial]

are you trying to teleport to somewhere specific that is close or very far?

if close, you could enable debugmode and fly there instead.

[feral mantle]

it doesn’t rlly matter i was trying to go to the deep north to test my fps bec it wont stop stuttering

[gray mason]

when loading worlds it crashes while its still loading any fixes?

[lilac coyote]

Crash or you get 'program not responding'? If the latter, you may need to just wait a few minutes.

Wow, can't type tonight.

[gray mason]

program not responding

[fringe sundial]

if you get a error message asking to wait or terminate the program, try waiting it out for 5-10 minutes. if you don't click anything it might just load.

ashlands was a huge overhaul and makes most systems that are loading it for the first time freak out.

[serene kraken]

can i fight the plains boss with lvl 4 silver armor or do i need padded

[compact heath]

you can, one of his attacks does blunt so you will take more damage from this, other than that he does a lot of fire (use mead for that) and also one attack does ligthning damage

[hardy veldt]

should i get the iron buckler or the banded shield

[somber shoal]

Just some good bow skill

[steel thorn]

buckler

[serene kraken]

is the draugrfang bow good against him since it applies silver effect?

[lilac coyote]

Well, it adds the poison effect which he is immune to.

[serene kraken]

oh

ty guys

[red copper]

If you die against ashlands boss, do you need to collect 3 more bells?

[wintry maple]

bows are bad for yagluth

Just use frostner or silver sword, they absolutely delete him

[serene kraken]

yeah i have frostner and my friend has blackmetal sword

i think we can take him

[wintry maple]

Silver sword > Blackmetal sword

Yagluth is undead

[serene kraken]

yeah but didnt this guy above just say hes resistant to that effect

[serene kraken]

.

[real nebula]

Draugr fang applies poison, not silver

[serene kraken]

ooooh

[real nebula]

Silver sword applies silver

[serene kraken]

my badi tought it was silver effect

[fringe sundial]

silver sometimes has "spirit" damage

[sudden galleon]

no it still there when you came back, might have healed some life point if you dont take your time or else it will regenerat all of it

[hardy veldt]

fulings are weak to slash damage right?

[brittle bloom]

no weakness

[hardy veldt]

what they resist?

[brittle bloom]

spirit

[stark spire]

Can you get your tamed wolf to regenerate health passively? After eating, the wolf has +0 appearing on top of him every second

[fringe sundial]

Usually it's like .01~.06 for health regen after eating.

[fringe needle]

Do 2 star wolves spawn always to same place at Mountains?

[hardy veldt]

when do i get the easy bake oven plains?

[true steeple]

You need to kill Moder

[hardy veldt]

i haven’t even killed the gelatinous blob💀

i think i’m ready though

[true steeple]

What armor, weapon and food do you have to fight him?

[serene tangle]

Mace and poison resistance, armor isn't very important.

Question for anyone who does any modded, I'm trying to use an auto-smelt mod. Seems to not work for me, it consumes the ore from the chest but doesn't put it in the smelter at all

No, it's random. Though the further out from the centre of the world you are, the higher the chance of more stars. And they are more likely to appear at night.

this is showing to my friend when we tried to play , the server works for me

[fringe needle]

If you kill one and after that decide that You want to tame one => needs find another place or try if are lucky and find another from same place?

[mystic solar]

Same chance to find it again in that spot or other spots around that area, I think. I'd just check all over the mountain if trying to find one. And if you find one at night, start taming it before night ends or it will probably despawn.

[serene yarrow]

what can i do so mobs dont keep attacking my base every 20 seconds?

[mystic solar]

Build a fence, or even dig a moat. Or get some tamed wolves to hang around your base, they'll attack anything hostile.

[serene yarrow]

oh thanks 🙂

wait if i dig too deep how do i get out?

[vagrant bobcat]

U can spam jump it up or just make a ladder

[fringe sundial]

A gap over .5m wide prevents most mobs from crossing, except those that can jump like the slimes/oozers.

Though, most who dig a trench, tend to make it wide enough for you to fit inside of. If you make it that wide, you can usually jump over it and even if you can't, you can climb the side like you would a steep mountain (spam run&jump)..

Also deep enough to prevent most mobs from climbing into and out of. When you have a nice steep wall on both sides, that's normally enough.

[steep tusk]

Idk how many people actually have used the blocking sheet since the re-write, but I am considering adding a box where you can put in your difficulty from the world modifier and it will automatically account for that as well.

Good idea or waste of time?

[mystic solar]

As long as you have enough stamina, you can press run and keep jumping at the same time, that will get you up anything steep.

[fringe sundial]

Much like the wiki page, it's a good resource to have, even if not everyone uses it.

[steep tusk]

Have to figure out how to add the modifier to autoupdate the entire column, but it will be nice to have 🤷‍♂️

[fringe sundial]

If it is in a spreadsheet program like excel, I know they allow variable in equations, I just haven't touched a spreadsheet in a long time(something like 10+ years). The "dumb" way to do it would be just to have a equation for each difficulty instead of a plug-in variable.

[winged solstice]

what crops can sledge hammer harvest? so far i've seen barley and flax, but not turnips

[ripe wasp]

What is this?

[fringe sundial]

I think it's only barley and Flax that can be harvested with weapons.

[winged solstice]

this is beauty

[steep tusk]

Already finished the main tab.
You can type in skill, what weapon/shield you're blocking with, and not difficulty.
It has every enemy in the game other than Fader and it will automatically update to show you the health thresholds for blocks and parries.

[fringe sundial]

More than likely it is the mobs not realizing that their target no longer exists. So they keep swinging, hoping to kill it.

[ripe wasp]

its a bug, the skeleton AI is miscalculating it's attack range before attack

i noticed it with elder too when training blood magic

[tough quarry]

What is the sentiment when it comes to riding? I tried to use an Asksvin (2 stars) to get me to a fuling village and raid, but it kept getting attacked by Mosquito, I had to dismount and kill it. It won't say in the same area where you left it, until eventually it got too close to some lox which ultimately killed it.

Are mounts worth all the hype or am I using them wrong?

[buoyant peak]

Treat them as expandable weapons.

Although 2-star asksvin can be very powerful when they actually fight.

+2000 hp and three times more damage (which the base is already a lot).

Wouldn't bother with no star asksvins unless you want to breed a starred one

[feral mantle]

so Ive been lagging in valhiem andd cannot find a fix. I have a good pc. I have come to see that I think it is lagging when the instances go down does anyone know how to fix?

[frank bobcat]

ive already discussed with some users here about valheim lagging and they said ot wasnt normal, well i keep seeing people also saying their game lag and so does mine, i play solo, graphics on medium-high and i dont really have crazy builds nor terrain changes, my pc is good and can run literally any game at any graphics i want, so it leaves me to one option only which is to ask, is there any way of decreasing the lag and fps drops without making the game ugly?

[frank bobcat]

yeah, just like i wrote, ppl were rude to me saying the game doesnt lag and that no one has the same problem, but i keep lagging with no apparent reason and im not even playing multiplayer

[feral mantle]

yea and I have a really good pc too so it isnt my pc

[frank bobcat]

same, the ppl who said the game isnt laggy to me also said it was my pc's fault, and thst it didnt matter it ran other games well, which doesnt make any sense, valheim needs to be optimized cuz its already a hard game, having constant lag makes it harder

[feral mantle]

i get like a constant 120fps+ but it stutters

[hollow mantle]

There are many things that can cause lag and stutter. For me it runs fine run like 99% of the time outside of the Ashlands. But occasionally especially when running and turning quickly it can stutter. And more so in our main base.

The main issue is that there’s not a massive amount you can do about it. If you google there are a couple of config things you can try, and/or you can give the game high priority.

Turning down/off certain graphics settings can help. But not by much, because the game is more cpu-bound than GPU-bound.
