[steep tusk]

Then you cannot get to the Ashlands.

[full adder]

how do i find the queen

[steep tusk]

You haven't even been to the Swamp last we spoke.
Keep playing the game.
Progress through the biomes.
Ashlands is the last one you will get to right now.

[full adder]

oh damn

didnt know it was endgame my bad lol

[steep tusk]

You thought the very latest update was something other than the furthest progression in the game?

🤔

[full adder]

well i thought i could at least GO there

not necessarily survive

but scope out the area

[steep tusk]

How does one scope while dead?

[full adder]

i wouldnt die if i steered clear of the enemies but yeah i guess you have a point

last time i played the plains was the last biome so i assumed the newest last biome would also be able to get there

[steep tusk]

No point in scoping Biome 7 when you have yet to enter Biome 3 anyway 🤷‍♂️
As your perspective in the game will be changed between now and then.

[full adder]

biome 7? what is 6?

[steep tusk]

The one after Plains.

Just play. You'll get there. 👍

[full adder]

damn they updated the game alot. Anyways thanks for clearing the confusion haha

[mystic solar]

If you absolutely want to, you can get there early. Use a longship, find a spot in safe waters from where you can make out ashlands land mass, ensure the wind is in your back and sail in full speed. Best case you even reach the shore before your boat fails.
Rest assured you'll die on that trip, probably very quickly.

[ebon bough]

I remember the game had some severe design flaws when Mistlands came out, one of them being entire dungeons completely void of black cores.

I'm at my 4th mistland dungeon, complete clears, ZERO cores. this cant be design right? is there a bug?

[true steeple]

It’s not a bug, it’s rng being rng

[mystic solar]

It's random, finding 4 in a row without a single black core sounds unlikely though.
Are you sure you checked every corner in those mines? Did you go behind the doors with the glowing rune on them?

[true steeple]

I always get terrible frost caves

[full adder]

when i first played the game on launch it took 5 burial chambers to get 5 surtling cores

[ebon bough]

I just couldnt believe it and hugged, spammed interact with every single wall in all 4 dungeons. absolutely nothing but royal jellies and fragment. it must be a bug with my game

[true steeple]

It isn’t a bug, it’s bad luck. It happens to everyone at some point

[ebon bough]

incredible. this is design. damn

[ebon bough]

5th mine. 1 core.

yeah im good lol. will come back when fixed

[true steeple]

At this rate you only need 20 more mines to make something

[true steeple]

You can spawn the cores with commands if you need to

[compact heath]

your next mine might have 7 cores xD

[crystal sedge]

what are the best method to exp your skills ??

[steep tusk]

Depends on the skill.

[crystal sedge]

blocking and clubs

[steep tusk]

What biome are you up to?

[crystal sedge]

plains

[steep tusk]

Take a Tower Shield and go summon Elder.
Stand in the middle of this vines where multiple can hit you.
Fastest way to level blocking.

Bonus points if you can stand in the vines and get him to use Ranged Attack.

[true steeple]

Use a weak weapon to get more hits per kill to level up a weapon, and to level blocking find a group of swamp or black forest enemies and hold your shield out

[steep tusk]

Elder is fastest for blocking.
Using the Wooden Club is going to get you more hits as Blob said.

Personally I would just use a Wooden Club to fight Lox. That will get you up pretty quickly.

[true steeple]

Why do you need to grind skills? Leveling skills as you play normally is usually good enough.

[steep tusk]

Never a matter of "need," always a matter of "want."

[crystal sedge]

I know, but I died a lot of times and my skills dropped to practically 60% :p

[jagged badge]

As long as your skills are >1 you're fine

[south ridge]

hello, i cant rebind key on setting, it keep revert to default after i changed it
any fix?

[grim gorge]

Hello guys, So some guy managed to join my server where me and my friend are playing, We are noobs running around with flint knives and this stoopid guy summoned trolls and they are wreaking havoc plz help 😦

Can anyone help kill them

[hollow mantle]

You got all the way to the Mistlands without realising things are randomly populated?

[steep tusk]

It's been an entire day?
And it was explained exactly how to fix this... yesterday?
What gives?

[grim gorge]

just find that quite complex instead thinking of just waiting for somone to kill them for me

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

[grim gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/yeah-right-ok-gif-23230193

[lilac coyote]

Why not just kick them?

[grim gorge]

I Kicked them, The summoned trolls are the issues

I cant kill the summoned trollls with my currurent gear

[real nebula]

Console commands?

[steep tusk]

Again. This is how you fix it.
It is very simple.
And you could have done this yesterday...

[grim gorge]

me and my friends play on the same world. I dunno how the server things work, I keep trying to make the world local for dev commands

[grim gorge]

My guy actually stop, I would have done it if i wanted to, There is a reason i am not

[foggy geyser]

so you just want to kill trols?

[steep tusk]

Laziness?

[grim gorge]

yeahh

[grim gorge]

Salty i called your behaviour out?

[steep tusk]

Odd... I don't feel called out.

[foggy geyser]

regular trols? how many?

i can log into and kill them

[grim gorge]

I think they were summoned by the trolstaf

[lilac coyote]

What behaviour? He's trying to help you.

[grim gorge]

The red sekelton trolls

[foggy geyser]

i dont even know what red skeleton troll is.. its from mod?

[grim gorge]

I told him its a bit complex for me but my guy acts all snarky,

[lilac coyote]

No he didn't.

[grim gorge]

Summoned trolls are aggressive creatures summoned by a player using the Trollstav.

[grim gorge]

Sure

[steep tusk]

Ashlands magic.

[foggy geyser]

ahaa, new staff

i remembered now

[steep tusk]

He knows how to solve the issue. He'd just rather wait until someone else solves it for him.

[lilac coyote]

Aren't they friendly to players? I don't actually know, I've never used it.

[steep tusk]

Aggro to everything.

[lilac coyote]

Ah, shame.

[grim gorge]

I love how u are so mad that you dont wanna think about the possibility that i tried and i dont get the server part, I no longer require your help :))

[steep tusk]

"Ogre kill everyone around." And all that.

[lilac coyote]

The raised skeletons aren't which is why I asked.

[steep tusk]

Why are you incorrectly assuming my emotion state?

[grim gorge]

But u have been personally attcking me lol calling me lazy and stuff.

[foggy geyser]

try this: not far from them prepare trench aroud place, and lure them there, they will stay out because of trench and kill them by bows, its slow but effective

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

[fringe sundial]

I dont know for sure but I believe they have a timer...for how long they can be summoned in addition to their health bar, so if you are lucky, you might be able to wait it out like a raid.

[lilac coyote]

In this time he could have killed them himself.

[grim gorge]

I wish, My stamina bar is very small and its relentless

[steep tusk]

It's been an entire day. This problem takes 5 minutes to solve.
But you wasted 24+ hours because you'd rather have someone else solve it for you.

There is no other word. 🤷‍♂️ it was accurate, not insulting.

[grim gorge]

people have other shit to tend to dont they? You prolly wont know tho,

[grim gorge]

I can change world settingfs and make them passive make a huge pit and then kill em, Nice idea 🫡

[foggy geyser]

no pit, just select place and fig tranch around., its more safe

[rocky osprey]

So there's multiple solutions to a problem right? Why are people bashing him for wanting to use either his preferred method or one that's just easier for him?

Let him play how he wants and sort the problem out how he wants. Not everyone wants to fiddle with world files and server settings and what not. Some of us just want to play.

[steep tusk]

That... isn't what is happening.

[foggy geyser]

yeah, there is lot ef way to do that

[grim gorge]

I am just lazy and didnt try the first preposed solution (allegedly*), Some people cant stand their behaviour be called out

[rocky osprey]

If he wants to be lazy then he can. Just choose not to help him and let someone else help him.

[steep tusk]

Again... no one feels called out. 🤷‍♂️

[grim gorge]

Your behaviors says other wise, You act like the solution you gave is the easiest and if somone does not find it easy or would rather a different one he is probably lazy or wants others to fix it.

[lilac coyote]

Doing it with dev commands IS literally the easiest way.

[steep tusk]

Well...

• It is.
• Doing nothing for an entire day supports the other points.

It's not that other options aren't valid.

[grim gorge]

Yeah thats what i am trying to do, But it seems like that its on a server and we cannot do that on a server

[halcyon crag]

who is the host?

[true steeple]

Do you host the server? If you open the world in-game you can kill the trolls

[grim gorge]

I clicked play and my friend is able to find my world on the friends tab,

Its just that i am new to pc games hence the confusion

[true steeple]

If you started the world in-game you can use commands, even if it’s in multiplayer

[halcyon crag]

yes so you are the host, all you do is open the same world in solo, activate devcommands, delete the trolls and gg

[grim gorge]

I am trying to open it in solo how do i do that?

[halcyon crag]

just play it like a solo world

[grim gorge]

so i just click start start and still it says logout

i untick the start server option but still when i click on logout it says leave server

[true steeple]

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

[grim gorge]

It seems like i need to open debug conmsole before i write devcommands

the console does not open up

[halcyon crag]

you need to type in -console in valheim steam settings

in launch arguments

[grim gorge]

done

let me relauch and see if it works

[halcyon crag]

okay now in game press f5 to open the console

[grim gorge]

Still the same :((

[halcyon crag]

mods?

[grim gorge]

when i click logout it says logout from server, It seems i am still the server even tho i did not click on start server before entering the world

[grim gorge]

Nope, First time so not yet

[true steeple]

Don’t worry about the logout button, if you aren’t using a dedicated server you can still use commands.

[halcyon crag]

you log into the world as if to play a solo game on it, open the console, type devcommands, then debugmode, then k to kill everything in the area

[true steeple]

It doesn’t need to be solo, you can host multiplayer in-game and use commands

[grim gorge]

The console came up

[true steeple]

Use the command devcommands then forcedelete 50 troll_summoned near a troll you want to kill
You only need to enable devcommands once

[halcyon crag]

true but i'm trying to avoid complicating the situation further xD

[grim gorge]

Relaunched the game, I googled everything before asking for help, I just could not get the console menu open, Thnaks a ton man :))

after my skills in shambles i would love to delete them bone heads of the game files bruhh

[true steeple]

You should use a better password for the server so random players can’t join again

[grim gorge]

YESSSSS Thanks guys.

Yeah name and pass were same, I just didnt think of the possibity of a grief, I am doing a blind playthrough so have no idea the extent of gear power

[true steeple]

Did you enable community server? That puts it on the public server list so you shouldn’t turn that on if you’re only playing with friends.

[grim gorge]

Yes now that i remeber it i think i accidently clicked that, It was the first time, i did it and this happend.

Also the game is hardcore, Me and my frnd made a base on top of the friken burial chambers in black forest to survive the normal troll attacks lmao

[true steeple]

Dodgerolling gives you invincibility, it’s great for fighting trolls and other large enemies

[steep tusk]

Personally, if I am basing in the BF I take over one of the stone forts for durability.

Still creepy when you wake up in the morning and have a random troll just staring over your stakewall though.
Not even hostile. Just staring at you... like a neighbor.

[true steeple]

I’d love to have a black forest base but my friends only want to build in meadows.

[grim gorge]

yeah about that, Its quite a hassle to block then space barr to roll, I think ppl do mods for that

[grim gorge]

we just make it so that we dont have to run back for the 50th time. We did not explore the chamber we built our base on fully and missed 4 cores in the chamber and were running around trying to find other chamber so that we have enough cores for the smealter lol

[steep tusk]

If I wasn't a Plains man, BF would be my main base area without a doubt.

Plains > BF > Mountain for top 3.

Then probably Mistlands/Swamp/Ashlands (tied)

Meadows is my least favorite for a main base area.

Fuck greylings infinitely spawning...

[true steeple]

Greylings are great, you can launch them so far with a frostner

[grim gorge]

any tips for faster progression? its been 8 hrs and we still havent gotten any armour and killed the deer boss

black forest is still a pain

[true steeple]

You can change the resource rate and disable build cost in world modifiers.

[grim gorge]

This would feel like if elden ring players used summons during bosses lmao

[steep tusk]

^ In multiplayer servers, upping the drop rate even to 1.5x (as it rounds UP on single drops) does wonders.

Especially for berry usage.

[grim gorge]

Sounds like a good idea, ill prolly do that then.

[steep tusk]

Would up it to 2x as it sounds like there are 2 of you. And if that feels too easy just dial it back 1 notch.

Especially since you're sharing location.

I almost never do multiplayer, but when I do, each individual has their own base location. So resources aren't shared and therefore don't have to be increased.

[grim gorge]

i love how the whole forest destroys itself after we chop on tree so ill keep the build cost the same, Ill up the resource rate.

[grim gorge]

We both agree that we would not play the game alone, Its just to damn hard lol, We are playing the game and having fun only because we are two vs the world

[steep tusk]

Fair.

Also allows you to have a frontliner and a backliner for combat.

Personally idk if I could choose to not play on days where schedules didn't align.

I just kept my old armor sets for when people were on so I could "scale down" when they wanted to do stuff.

[grim gorge]

We are just 2 so we are able to align and it works out well

The skill loss after death seems like a bad mechanic ngl

i can change that setting i suppose

[steep tusk]

It could be labeled as bad if skills mattered.

The game isn't balanced concerning them at all. They are literally free stats.

[true steeple]

What would be the point of skills if they couldn’t be lost? Players would try to grind them out at the start and be overpowered for the rest of the game.

[steep tusk]

Spawn-in all the way to Fader is completely doable with 0 skill in all categories.

Having skill is just free extra bonus power.

[grim gorge]

Good point,

[grim gorge]

Thanks for the help, Imma start playing with my friend now that those damn skelies are gone.

[south ridge]

Hello, im sorry for asking this again. Seems like I can't rebind any key in my game. Each time i change it in settings, it keeps reverting back. Maybe this only happens in modded playthroughs?

[steep tusk]

#mods-issues

[south ridge]

Tnx 🙏

Aight i think i know what to do.
That's pretty fast LMAO
tnx once again

[steep tusk]

👍

[south ridge]

Aight if you don't mind, i wanna ask something again. This one related to vanilla

[steep tusk]

It's a free-ish country.
You can always ask questions, lol.

[south ridge]

How do i cope with losing everything?

My character died in a biome i never seen before after landing from my ship

Something like a bug hit me from behind, and the grave is like 2 continent away 😭

It was one hit kill too, pretty shocking

[steep tusk]

You remember it is a video game that has no impact on your real life.
So there is no coping to be done, as you are fully capable of separating fiction from reality.

[ashen olive]

are Leviathans in static locations? Or will they despawn and pop up somewhere else if untouched

[steep tusk]

Static afaik.

[south ridge]

Ah i about to ask this question too

[ashen olive]

\o/

so my waypoints werent pointless. ty

[south ridge]

Guess i have to start again from the start

[ashen olive]

make another ship and put a portal nearby in case you die again on your way to recover stuff

it happens. I've had to sail around continents to get my grave on numerous occasions

[south ridge]

Sounds like a good plans. Also damn, day 456

[ashen olive]

yup. I die now, and im sure to die many times even if I ever reach day 1000

[south ridge]

Enemies got stronger by days?

Good to know

[ashen olive]

nope. im just bad lol

[fringe sundial]

distance away from world spawn and per biome.

[ashen olive]

ah yeah thats a good point. the further from spawn you are, the more dangerous it is

[south ridge]

Can relate, i easily panicked if there more than 1 enemies

[true steeple]

More enemies = more fun

[fringe sundial]

that's what you call a "target rich environment"

[ashen olive]

it takes time :D

took me about 30 deaths on the mountain in troll gear to stop panicking against wolves. The frost arrows helped too lmao

[dire hamlet]

Still waiting for the day i get to fight 3 or more serpents at once 😄

[true steeple]

Mace secondary them off a cliff

[south ridge]

One is already too much 😭

How do you even fight serpent?
Lure it to land 1st or fight on boat?

[ashen olive]

they are super squishy btw! as long as youre not on a raft, just shoot it with a bow

[dire hamlet]

Not when you have a habit of spotting them before they see you and hit them for 90% of their health with the first arrow 😅

[true steeple]

If you have a harpoon you can pull it onto land and collect it’s scales that otherwise sink to the bottom of the ocean

[ashen olive]

or lure it to land to get the drops! You make a great tower shield with the scales, and its as good as the silver one

[dire hamlet]

Faster and easier to last hit them mid air getting all the drop when dropping into the water (drawn bow or spear)

[ashen olive]

theres lots of ways to do it. whatever works :)

[south ridge]

That's cool, i tot they can easily topple any ship

[true steeple]

They’re balanced for black forest

[ashen olive]

I don't think its possible to capsize in Valheim so as long as the health bar of your ship is still there, youre good

[dire hamlet]

It's possible!! Even had it happen with the longboat a year ago

[hollow heron]

i have debugmode and no placement cost, used nocost and i still cant build without cost? can anybody help me?

[ashen olive]

It takes time, about 15 mins in this case, but just sail back to the grave :D

[dire hamlet]

Come on repair that boat already!

[south ridge]

Cool, I'll try out your plans and put portal in nearby safe island

[fringe sundial]

on keyboard and mouse, use the "b" key to enable no cost build if you have debug and devcommands working

[ashen olive]

its fine though?

[hollow heron]

i do, and it said no placement cost: true but it still showed missing requirement

[fringe sundial]

hmmm

[steep tusk]

Did you try clicking even though it says that?

[hollow heron]

yes i did

[dire hamlet]

Now I know where some of your deaths might come from 😂

[ashen olive]

ive never died from my boat being destroyed btw

[dire hamlet]

Yet hehe

[south ridge]

Hopefully never 🙏🙏

[hollow heron]

it wont work 🙏

[fringe sundial]

if your boat makes a breaking sound 2x. you really need to repair it because its at something like 20% hp.

[fringe sundial]

try clicking when it isn't red. red means it doesn't have enough support or something is in the way of placing it (in this case, its you currently).

[ashen olive]

no stone dude

[fringe sundial]

weird. is devcommands also enabeled?

[hollow heron]

yes.

[ashen olive]

press b

[hollow heron]

i did it its on the video

[fringe sundial]

very weird

[ashen olive]

weird

[hollow heron]

anything i could do?

[fringe sundial]

I dont typically use no build in the console, just the "b" key after enabeling debugmode

[hollow heron]

i did that too i just pressed b key after enabling debug mode which shows no placement cost: true

[fringe sundial]

so: (in console) devcommands> debugmode (close console) "b"

[hollow heron]

yes i did exactly that

[steep tusk]

Is this on a server or is it local?

[fringe sundial]

there must be something I am missing if it doesn't work. I am going to try using nocost in my game and see if it has the same issue.

[hollow heron]

local im alone

[steep tusk]

You can be alone on a server 🤷‍♂️
But yeah. I got nothing.

[hollow heron]

yeah this is weird but im in local

i tried to find help but nobody really gave me a definite answer

[zinc crater]

Through steam?

[hollow heron]

yeah steam

[zinc crater]

If you go to the general settings of valheim under launch options is it set to -console ?

[hollow heron]

yeah i can do most console devcommands things like fly, freefly, skiptime, spawn most of the functions work

its just nocost doesnt work im not sure why

[fringe sundial]

following your screenshot earlier, it worked for me. only other thing I can think of is a world bug or mods.

[zinc crater]

You could try verifying the integrity of the game files and see of anything fixes perhaps?

[hollow heron]

i'll try

[south ridge]

If it local can just change the settings in world modifier?

[hollow heron]

really?

haven't really looked into it

[south ridge]

Yah, try open worlds modifier
There is no cost building

[hollow heron]

ohhh yes thank you. problem solved (kinda)

[south ridge]

🤝

[mighty ermine]

do you need to still split up food for boars ?

or cna you throw a 50 stack and then they will jsut eat 1 at a time?

[hardy veldt]

whats the best possible food i can bring for fader fight?

and the best weapon

[hollow mantle]

Depends on your play style - do you favour health, stamina, or Eitr?

[hardy veldt]

health first stamina then eitr

i usually do 2 health and 1 stamina

[hollow mantle]

There’s an excellent spreadsheet linked to in one of the pinned posts in #valheim-chat - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b_obmQ_F5u5p-2K0NvFNzL2aHWLauisve63lvOsoD54/htmlview - created by Sevrahn

Looking at the Configurations page in that, I believe you want “Balanced Health” - so, Piquant Pie, Mashed Meat, Roasted Crust Pie.

[fringe sundial]

they should just eat 1 out of the stack.

[frank bobcat]

how do i see my world's seed?

[fringe sundial]

the menu where you select a world should have them listed. there should be a couple other ways, but that is the one I know.

[mighty ermine]

Great!

[frank bobcat]

it doesnt tho

[fringe sundial]

you dont have these?

if not, you should be able to view the world seed name in your game directory somewhere....i know it gets extracted if you use the online world map.

[frank bobcat]

nop

[fringe sundial]

weird, is it a server?

[frank bobcat]

nah its my own world

[hardy veldt]

whats the best weapon to fight fader i have a thundering berserkir axes rn?

[frank bobcat]

yeah just used it and followed its instructions, thx

[fringe sundial]

might be able to pull the seed by using the online map. working on a couple screenshots as a walkthough.

[frank bobcat]

nah i did it, the website itself explains how to get the world files

thx

[fringe sundial]

ok.

[fringe sundial]

depends on your playstyle. many have said that the game from mistlands to ashlands feels more geared toward mage set up but thundering axes aren't a bad choice.

I haven't reached ashlands outside of before it went live when I was playing on PTB. at that time, I was running nature x-bow and thunder axes. it was tough, expecially with the random walk-ins.

[hollow crown]

Silver Armor not worth making?

[hollow mantle]

Do you mean Wolf Armour?

If so, it’s the Mountain tier heavy armour and level 1 Wolf is equivalent to level 4 Iron based on armor value alone.

It possibly also the best looking armour set in the game.

[hardy veldt]

mage is kinda boring for me i made primal axes as well just incase thundering breaks

[loud linden]

Sooo... depends on your playstyle?

[hardy veldt]

melee?

[solar badger]

Get ready to run, a lot

[mortal hatch]

I am trying to raise a runestone as I've read that they will raise up if you try to bury them. I think it's really nice looking and would like to have it in my fort, not under my fort. It doesn't seem to be raising up, though?

[frank bobcat]

what would be a great area for my main base?

[unreal zephyr]

Kinda depends on what style of base you'd want to build, right? Personally I like building water infrastructure like canals and docks, so I would love that little strip of black forest southeast of that swamp to the north of you

[remote frost]

does anyone here use the valheim legends mod?

[frank bobcat]

yeah i wanted a good place near the water, with enough space for me to sail wherever i wanted and to make a big enough base for everything
im not so good with directions so idk where u're pointing lol

[unreal zephyr]

So for my tastes I'd probably go for either yellow or orange

Does look like there's some rocky waters in the exit of that bay (left of both areas) so that might be a bit of a project to make sailing easy there though

But if you go for orange you could have your harbor to the north-east side so you don't have to immediately bother with the other (southwest) side

[frank bobcat]

i see i was thinking on here would be a good place, since i have a good bit of black forest to build on and explore, and then i have that insane about of water to freely choose where to go, but the ones u mentioned sure sound interesting yeah, i might have to decide where to go

[frank bobcat]

yeah i see, to the orange side id have to go all the way up or down when i go sail, depending on which side id build the port, yellow would have that rock problem like u said

[unreal zephyr]

Unless a canal is possible, then you'd have every direction open to you

but that very much depends on the exact terrain there because of the limit of how deep you can dig

[frank bobcat]

yeah

[hollow mantle]

That little bit of plains in the mountain looks pretty cool...

[hardy veldt]

bro i didnt know i would get one shot bombed by fader lol

[mortal hatch]

This, too, is a question for help seeking. 🥺

[shut holly]

i would go for somewhere in red most likely. shallow water means less waves, forest and a mountain somewhat close can be nice, but i tend to keep main base in meadows at least until I'm into plains, and mostly portal/sail from there

[frank bobcat]

i see, i still have to unlock stone which i was going to use for my dock, so ill stay in mt current base in the black forest for now, and once i finally unlock stone ill have to decide

[shut holly]

gotcha. there's no rush! i basically find a new good spot every few hours seems like XD
where is your current base? you can also always move when you find somewhere that strikes you. just keep atleast a portal near spawn for power-swapping

[peak lake]

My old maps doesn't work, Since the Ashlands released i can't open my old maps. Screen stuck at loading (black screen) when i click somewhere valheim.exe stop working. I can open and play new maps, they work fine. I need help to save my old maps

[hollow mantle]

The game needs to update the terrain. It takes some time. Just let it do its thing and don’t do anything (except click ‘wait’ if necessary).

[peak lake]

thanks i'll try

[stray ginkgo]

was looking to join a server, seems like ill need a few mods for most where do i get said mods ?

[shut holly]

personally, i would just keep looking until you find a vanilla server. if you want though, check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[peak lake]

it worked thanks

[lucid aurora]

nexus or thunderstore

[steep saffron]

what does this mean 😭

[hollow mantle]

It means they want only people aged 18+ on the server. And they suggest you create your own server. Not sure why being on xbox would stop you doing that. But I play on PC.

[frank bobcat]

my current base is somewhere on the white square for now lol

[mortal hatch]

😭

[hollow crown]

Thoughts on wolf vs fenris armor

[true steeple]

I always make wolf armor because fenris armor requires luck that I don’t have

[hollow crown]

The cultist trophy or?

[true steeple]

I can’t find more than 5 fenris hair in a single cave

[hollow crown]

Ah fair

[slender oracle]

what does this mean `?

[hollow crown]

I just did a single frost cave and got 3 claws, 2 trophies and 16 hair

[hollow crown]

Server connection bad

[true steeple]

You’re disconnected from the server but the game is trying to reconnect you automatically

[odd warren]

If somebody has problem with crashing check ur gpu temps if they are too high cap ur fps or clean ur pc from dust

[frank bobcat]

when using higher tier pickaxes should i just be bringing the meterials for the workbench it requires to be repaired?

[true steeple]

No, use a portal to head back to your base and repair it

[vagrant bobcat]

u can use ur main pickaxe and then antler pickaxe as a reserve that u can repair at regular workbench

orr.. portal yea

[true steeple]

Use an antler pickaxe for terrain, and a metal pickaxe for breaking things

[frank bobcat]

so i should bring the materials for a portal then?

[true steeple]

Yes

[frank bobcat]

alr

[hollow crown]

Best way to get chain?

[shut holly]

swamp dungeons

🤔 would be nice if we could make chain at artisan table

[hollow crown]

Chain is often used in silver tier though, might be nice to be able to craft it in the forge out of iron

But ye, thanks

[shut holly]

ehhh. valheim does a good job of not making things easy until you're a few tiers past first accessing it, i rather like that. makes it reasonable to go back and keep exploring earlier biomes

[frank bobcat]

does trolls respawn?

[lilac coyote]

No mobs respawn, but they will continue to spawn in the Black Forest, yes.

[frank bobcat]

i see, cuz i cant find any trolls on areas that ive already explored, so i thought it was kinda strange

[hollow mantle]

How recently (in in-game time) did you kill the troll(s) in that area?

[frank bobcat]

not really recently

at least 20-30 days ago or even more

[hollow mantle]

Ok, so, Derek can correct me, but for zone spawns there are a couple of things that determine spawn frequency. And with Trolls there's a max limit of 1 per zone, only a 5% chance of them spawning, and a spawn interval of a little over an hour.

[lilac coyote]

Looks good to me.

[blissful bronze]

Can u help me understand parry?
I seem to have issue bronze small shield vs troll. We both end up stunned.

Could being naked ( no armor) have any impact? Because my friend says he can easily parry em

I assumed its just parry power x parry multiplier and maybe block skill

[fringe sundial]

parry (from my understanding) comes down to 2 factors. armor amount and max hp. using 2 hp foods would increase your chance over 1 hp food.

it should be in the wiki somewhere....

there is also a pin made by a user here with regards to this subject i believe.

[lilac coyote]

The amount of Block armor is multiplied by the Parry Bonus of the weapon or shield.
If the attacker is not immune to staggering, they will stagger and take double damage for a brief period of time.
Parrying costs will cost 10-20 stamina (using 20 if available or if below 20 using all of it until you get to 9 stamina).
If the Parry fails due to a lack of stamina (9 or less), the player will be staggered and not mitigate any damage from the attack.
Parrying is not available as a option to some items like Tower Shields

[fringe sundial]

yep, i should have double checked the wiki.

[blissful bronze]

Still don't not sure if armor makes any difference or its just shield stats

[frank bobcat]

5% seems abut right then

[hollow mantle]

And you have to be in the zone at the right time, so, yeah...

[lilac coyote]

If you're parrying, it hasn't reached your armour so that won't have anything to do with it.

[frank bobcat]

yeah

also, kinda sad bees dont let u be creative on their little space (none of the ones with poles near them are happy)

[blissful bronze]

Kk thanks

[frank bobcat]

just gonna leave it like this, still looks acceptable

[hollow mantle]

I like to put 4 on a core wood pole, at different heights.

[tiny sundial]

Hi everyone!

Please advise, please, yesterday started playing with a friend in this game. The world created him, now he unfortunately sleeps, and I want to go to that world to play while he sleeps.
Is this possible?

[spark thorn]

Moder set up? I die immediately with max root armor and my max iron bow and mace did jack squat.

[jagged badge]

I haven't done moder yet this run but I recall switching between dragur fang and silver sword. And being in full silver armor.

[fringe sundial]

something to consider as well is what type of foods you have. you should have access to onion soup and wolf skewers if you have a farm by time you are fighting modor.

[jagged badge]

And knowing me, having some intro to plains style foods

[tribal crescent]

You can host or purchase hosting for a dedicated server and copy his local world file over to it

[spark thorn]

Rn I’m using sausages, eyescream, and black soup I believe

[barren osprey]

My group server gets pretty bad lag in the Ashlands - any tips?

[astral oyster]

whats the weakness of trolls?

[shut holly]

for moder i would use a slash or pierce melee (sword or polearm), she's resistant to blunt. use fire arrows, definitely not silver or frost. and you really should make the new bow when you're able, it's much better than iron unless youre trying to sneak.

and I would try for mountains armour too

if you're trying to avoid the movement speed debuff from silver armour, at least get drake helm, but i would recommend fenris set. if movement speed doesn't bother you, take full wolf armour.

i personally wouldn't want to take root armour and iron weapons into plains anyway

[shut holly]

polearm can be okay for melee. i usually just use fire arrows though

[vivid pebble]

guys i... just arrived to the server. I wanted to share this picture, just to see if it was a common issue...

this altar for yagluth or whatever its called... it should be here, right? am i missing something?

[sudden galleon]

hmm did you start this game befor or after ashland?

[vivid pebble]

i did start it beforehand, yes

however, the altar was pinpointed way back

[sudden galleon]

you using the interactive map to search for the boss spawn?

[vivid pebble]

i was going to use it, but i found a waypoint so i decided to refrain from doing so

[sudden galleon]

can you zoom in your mini map ?

[shut holly]

some of my boss locations (pinned but not explored) changed after ashlands update

[vivid pebble]

... oh

by the gods. So i would have to... reach that waystone again? where did i just leave it?

i cant remember for certain. What a tragedy

... i guess ill use the interactive map, just to confirm

[sudden galleon]

or find another spawn

[vivid pebble]

i... dont know how long thatll take

[shut holly]

that's rough. you'll have to find a runestone again, or use a tool like valheim-map

[sudden galleon]

not to long with the map

[vivid pebble]

what version are we in right now?

0.218.15 is ok?

[shut holly]

to get correct locations using valheim-map, load your map files. just the seed will give you bad locations too

[sudden galleon]

yup thats the live version

[shut holly]

#screenshots message

[vivid pebble]

you guys helped a lot. Indeed, the yagluth altar is not portrayed in this generated map

[compact heath]

Good idea to mark where you find a vegvisir because of this reason

[vivid pebble]

I've learnt the old fashioned way: the painful one

[fierce sierra]

maybe someone borrowed the spawning stone under dirt, and broke the stone fingers

[dawn drift]

help me , im end up with login postponed until ID has been set

[mystic solar]

Dunno on what platform you are playing there, but if you do get to the login screen, go to options for graphics and disable depth of field.

[lucid aurora]

Do enemies destroy planted crops, like carrots, onions etc, if I leave them in an area that is hostile

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[lucid aurora]

Well... that sucks 😄

[shy shard]

Secure your crops with fences or walls

[gloomy yarrow]

in order to summon more than one skelly with dead raiser, do i need to level up my blood magic or upgrade dead raiser?

[fringe sundial]

Based on the description, "Sacrifice a bit of blood to raise the dead. Upgrade the skull to spawn multiple skeletons, and increase your blood magic to make them stronger.", I would say weapon upgrade.

[sudden galleon]

upgrade the staff

[gloomy yarrow]

ok ty

[buoyant peak]

It's literally right there...

Sigh

[iron quiver]

if i wanna use some magic in the queen fight, is 2 hp +1eitr food the recommended combo? or have 1 stam food instead of 1 hp ?

[willow raft]

Depens on what the eitr is going to be used for:
Shield I would go one of each.
Extra damage, 2 hp and eitr, since once you run out of stamina to do damage with you switch to dmg staff and switch back to stamina once the eitr has run out.
If it is for summoning skeletons, you'll need more eitr than 1 eitr food to get the most out of your skeletons.

Full magic would go for 2 eitr and 1 stamina, that is what I did and didn't die.

[iron quiver]

wanna use fire staff for dmg and the blood shield, there is 2 of us and thinking im gonna use magic more cause im better at managing my stamina but wearing full carapace

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[thorny hornet]

ty

[plush snow]

Hmm, there's no way to re-map roll/dodge to a new button? It HAS TO BE "sneak" + "jump"?

I want it on my thumb buttons on my mouse. I wonder if auto hotkey or similar might work

[steep tusk]

It isn't sneak.

It's Block + Jump.

[plush snow]

OMG that works too?!

[steep tusk]

That is how you roll.

[plush snow]

They both work, but yes, just tried it - that's MUCH better

Ctrl (Sneak) + Jump (Space) also rolls

Regardless, any way to re-map it?

[steep tusk]

🤷‍♂️

[frail cave]

difference between block armor/block force ? which stat tells me the more damage from the enemy i can block

[steep tusk]

Armor.

Force is just knockback.

[frail cave]

Thank you Sevrahn!

[frail cave]

do ashlands spawner respawn? it seems like it or maybe ive seen it wrong... do u have to destroy all the tombstones around the spawner maybe or are they only decoration

[lilac coyote]

The physical spawners don't respawn, no. But you'll obviously still have the natural spawns remaining.

[frail cave]

ok

[wet apex]

is it normal to have fuling randomly appear in the meadows where there is no plains even close to where i am

[steep tusk]

If Yagluth is dead, yes.

[wet apex]

okay thanks

[nova eagle]

after certain bosses die, some of their enturage will be spawning at night in other biomes

[wet apex]

what other ones do this?

except for greydwarves after elder

[vagrant bobcat]

skeletons after bonemass and i didnt get further after that yet

but u have it on wiki^^

[nova eagle]

||yag and queen do that too|| marked as spoiler

[wet apex]

never noticed skellies

[fringe sundial]

Skele's die easy in anything above meadows to the normal mobs. And people don't normally spend many in game days after beating bonemass doing other things other than finding modor, so they don't have much opertunity to spawn and survive overnight.

[frail cave]

bro wtf i just killed a fallen valkyrie on top of the charred fortress another one respawned immediately

wtf is this man, when r the spawn rate nerfs coming this is dogwater

[lilac coyote]

I doubt they'd have had any effect in that situation. That's just unlucky.

[hardy veldt]

why are ashlands enemies showing up at my house

[shut holly]

they want tea and biscuits

[hollow mantle]

The Ashlands raid event is enabled when you beat The Queen.

[hardy veldt]

i turned off raids

[hollow mantle]

Have you defeated the Ashlands boss?

[hardy veldt]

yea

[hollow mantle]

When you defeat a boss, mobs from their biome will spawn elsewhere at night.

[hardy veldt]

ty

[frigid shuttle]

My wolf still has a poison effect from fighting a grey dwarf shaman and every heal tick shows +0… what’s going on? 😅

[true steeple]

It’s showing +0 because the number is too small to show, but it is healing normally.

[frail cave]

does placing structures alert mobs? (theyre close by)

[shut holly]

yes

[hollow mantle]

Yep, noise will alert them. And some mobs aggro just if they see you or you get too close.

[vagrant bobcat]

like those black blobs in plains 😱

[hollow mantle]

Like everything in the plains!

[mild copper]

Does the lingering healing mead, which gives +25% health regen, also affects the 10 second tick of health regen?

[true steeple]

It multiplies the health per regen tick by 1.25

I don’t know if it multiplies with or is added to the rested multiplier

[stoic raven]

I understand magma fish are bugged and wont touch the bait.
Any way of getting them without the rod?
Missing only them for the hat.

[mild geyser]

Can you help me pls? My game crushed when i try to play.

[true steeple]

If the game stops responding when creating a world or loading a world last opened before ashlands, you just need to wait for it to continue responding. Don’t click anything or focus another window.

[mild geyser]

How long should I wait? I haven't been able to play for 3 days.

[fossil gate]

do old bodies despawn when you die again?

[true steeple]

I don’t know, it hasn’t happened to me

[fossil gate]

my body has just completely disappeared and I've lost everything

[true steeple]

No, they stay until retrieved.
Maybe there was a saving issue? You can load a backup.

[fossil gate]

it disappeared while I was playing though, I died went back died before I made it came back and it just wasn't there

[true steeple]

Dying again wont affect it. If you’re absolutely sure it isn’t there, load a backup from the character select screen’s manage saves button.

[fossil gate]

bro the gray things are killing the giant lets go

wait no a skeleton stuck in a rock is shooting at it

[fossil gate]

I dont have a backup with the stuff

I found one that does but its missing a portion of the match

[frank bobcat]

is it normal for troll caves not actually have trolls?

[steep tusk]

RNG

[vagrant bobcat]

yes, there's a chance

(me who got 2 troll caves with 1 star troll in a row 🥲 )

[frank bobcat]

damn

[lilac coyote]

You'll find RNG is the answer to a lot of your questions as you go through the game.

[vagrant bobcat]

basically.. the whole world is randomly generated in the end

[ashen olive]

Got a small query, So I have this super annoying Yggdrasil Shoot growing out of the side of a cliff, and its overlapping where I want to build. There's no way for me to bring a Seeker Soldier over, so I am stumped. Don't have Black Metal yet as Moder hasn't been killed, and its a MP server where we play together and kill bosses together. And ideas? I don't want to just make a SP world and kill Moder there. Seems super cheaty. Can any other mob damage the Shoot?

Regular Seeker can't do it :(

Hmm can I drag a Soldier with an Abyssal Harpoon?

[shut holly]

hmm. not sure what to suggest, but...gotta ask,if you're still at silver tier, why are you building in mistlands....?

[ashen olive]

Area looks pretty, and plains isn't really that challenging, unless I blunder into a tar pit

[shut holly]

should be able to, be tricky with the terrain in mistlands but might be possible..

[ashen olive]

any specific spawn locations for a Soldier? Or just any wide flat area

[shut holly]

not sure there. idt it has to be a large area, I've seen them in narrow gorges

[ashen olive]

Hmmm now how tf do I get it up there. Can it walk up ladders?

it broke my original bridge

terrain made it impossible for it to climb up so it just broke the terrain lol

[willow badge]

highly doubt creatures can climb ladders, but they will destroy them

the soldiers especially

[shut holly]

best bet is marble stairs

[fringe sundial]

Would have to be stone since they haven't fought modor and are just trying to get stuff from the mists early.

[willow badge]

how's that preventing marble?

you can get plenty from dvergr structures

natural sources of marble are inefficient anyway

[fringe sundial]

You wouldn't have a blackmetal pick. If you got lucky, a seeker might break off a couple pieces, but it would be a slow fight and a lot of kiting.

[willow badge]

you don't need a bm pick to destroy dvergr structures

[fringe sundial]

Or wait...

[ashen olive]

wtf why now

[fringe sundial]

Yep you are right. Haven't been in the mists in a long time.

[ashen olive]

also, how tf? its near sheer

Welp, the tree is gone but so is part of the cliff. Oh well

Any way to regenerate terrain? lol

Oh well, I should've just waited for black metal axe lmao. Or I can turn it into some sort of shrine with a soldier trophy on it

[hollow mantle]

Remind me, it's been a while since I did one, do Frost Caves ever have secret/hidden areas?

[ashen olive]

do you count breaking the really obvious ice walls as a secret area?

if not, then no

[fringe sundial]

I can hear the corporate overlord groaning:
This is why everything is to be done "in house". Those contractors are so sloppy. I ask for one tree and they take a whole cliff face off.

[ashen olive]

lmao

Welp, at least this structure will have "character"

but like, is there any way to place back bits of mountain stone without cheating?

[fringe sundial]

Only thing I can think of is "raise ground", assuming there is any close enough, that is. Even with devcommands, it would be tricky to restore.

[ashen olive]

awww

[fringe sundial]

Mods may be?

[ashen olive]

Damn it punched through to the other side too. I'm glad it didnt fully break the mountain

[fringe sundial]

Might be a good place for a "layer ".

Where you build your world ending contraptions while all the plebians call you crazy.

[ashen olive]

Oh thats not a bad idea. Can be the forging or workbench area I guess

[fringe sundial]

Ya, workshop would work(shop).

[ashen olive]

although I feel like if I break this piece, it snaps off the rest of the mountain

cant really get it flat without taking that off

[fringe sundial]

Make a offline save of the world then break it.

[ashen olive]

its a server, how would I do that?

[fringe sundial]

That way you can restore it if all comes crumbling down.

[hollow mantle]

That's what I thought. Thanks. Just disappointingly small, then... 😕

[fringe sundial]

Ah, server...well that's beyond my expertise.

Asking in the server chat how to make a offline save might do good. Just be ready to field some questions on how the server is set up...https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[hollow mantle]

And why do you not get jute for every thing you chop down?

[fringe sundial]

I know the game has been nerfed for prefab drops, not sure if jute is affected or not. Things like black marbel don't/aren't supposed to drop as much as it would take to create the prefab structure to lure players into going after other options.

[ashen olive]

the wolf cult already uses scraps, so it makes sense that we only get "usable" jute some of the time

[hollow mantle]

True

[ashen olive]

yeah the bridges give you exactly half from what I have found. That includes the iron "rebar"

was repairing before destroying bridge pieces, and each piece gave 2 instead of 4 black marble

Well it could be worse. Any suggestions on making the staircase bottom side not "jagged"?

[fringe sundial]

Not quite sure what you mean by "jagged". Is it the alignment of the stairs when comparing the top set to the bottom?

[compact wadi]

Can the lightning during a thunder storm damage stuff/kill you or is it purely cosmetic?

[remote frost]

can i pick plants that i planted too close?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[brittle bloom]

are there more then 3 locations for dyrnwyn cause I went to the 3rd and there was nothing there

[dark fog]

Look around inside the 3rd location. It should connect to a dungeon with a miniboss

[brittle bloom]

yeah just read that on the wiki , headin back there now thanks

[lusty panther]

When someone joins my world, do they join at the world's starting point, or next to where I spawn in from my last save?

[dark fog]

They spawn at the boss stones all players start at but will spawn wherever they logged out after they have played on the server

[paper rock]

Just purchased the game and after some time my screens all turn black although I can still hear sounds of the game and discord I need to force restart my pc anyone know what could be the problem?

[dark fog]

If youre just starting a server I have been told by some that the start up since ashlands can do some wonky things. Usually if you let it sit it will start working again

[paper rock]

So you are saying when I get the black screens I should just wait and it will eventually come back up again?

[dark fog]

If youre trying to start a server, yes

[paper rock]

No it happens when already playing on a server

[dark fog]

I have never had this problem personally. Just speaking from what others have said

Oh youve already created the server? Dont have a solution for you then

[paper rock]

Thanks for the answer anyway probably a hardware issue will do some research

[dim ginkgo]

hello, does anyone know if its possible to hide all of the map marks we've added?

[dark fog]

You can hide other peoples but I dont think you can hide your own marks

[dim ginkgo]

bummer, I seem to have added quite a few 😄

[thorn spire]

you can click on each marker type to hide it.

[dim ginkgo]

DUDE, you are awesome

[dark fog]

Oh snap, never knew this. Thanks for the info!

[thorn spire]

You can also right-click on markers to permanently remove them from your map, or left-click a second time to x them out.

[dim ginkgo]

I hid all the marks and all thats left were so. many. deaths 😄

[thorn spire]

sounds about right. You can also delete those so it's easier to find the last one.

[south cliff]

is there a command to despawn bosses? cant use portals from evil force message, but i think it bugged out, theres no bosses up

[hardy veldt]

all of this in 1 crypt lol

[wanton spoke]

Hello I'm trying to catch anglerfish with this fish farm but it's not working did it get patched in ashlands update or do anglerfish just not jump

And what's the best way to catch anglerfish

[boreal ridge]

Hello! I've just bought valheim, i would ask, someone knows if is there a way to enable a colorblind feature?

[high elk]

how do you enable build mode? that no resource or energy use mode thingy

[willow raft]

Select it in the world modifiers.

[ebon bough]

is Royal jelly finite?

[willow raft]

Infinite, it respawns after a while, like seekers, soldiers and ticks in the infested mines.

[halcyon crag]

also drops from the broods, if you've beat the Queen you can find those in biomes at night, except swamp iirc

[compact heath]

its still in early access i dont believe there is one yet (maybe a mod but I m not across mods and I only saw very very old one)

[floral grail]

anyone know how to fix this? originally I had tried fixing by uninstalling all previous GPU drivers and reinstalling the latest using DDU, but this problem still persists. I do have mods but I don't know how much that has to do with it. After about an hour of gameplay my Valheim will often just turn my entire screen a random color, and then "brick" my PC until i either restard it, or somehow get my screen to show something else (which only works by using Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up that blue screen)

[fringe sundial]

Considering it shows as a unity error run through beepin, I would guess it's a broken mod. Asking around the mod help chat might give you more help:https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[compact heath]

totallly looks like a broken mod to me too, there is some instructions somewhere how to properly remove all traces of mods can probs google it, might be hard to find out which mod causes it

[floral grail]

that's really unfortunate, the majority of my mods are here for QOL reasons

I can probably take a guess at which mod too, which makes it even more unfortunate because it'd be one of the mods I downloaded for fun and not QOL

[compact heath]

is one of the reason I don't use them, is always a chance it breaks something

[floral grail]

Well assuming it's a mod's fault, I'll just have to cope with it and save more often

gone this far with the mods, gonna take it all the way

[floral grail]

Do you know if I can modify how often the game autosaves?

[compact heath]

not easily I'm not sure if there is a very complicated devcommand to change it, its possible that there is but I don't know that

[floral grail]

probably a mod for it

fix my mod problems with more mods... it all makes sense....

[small nest]

is it rare to not find haldor with what i have explored? any ideas how i could get him (i freak out on ocean so no boats)?

[ebon bough]

oh cool. do cores respawn too?

[true steeple]

What’s wrong with oceans? Serpents only spawn at night or in storms, and are balanced to be killed with black forest equipment.

Your spawn island isn’t going to have all biomes, you’ll need to sail at some point

[small nest]

im just bit scared of ocean, also leaving spawn island in langskip with wolf armour makes me more confident than troll armour and little boat

[dire hamlet]

Your odds of finding Haldor without a boat are very low

[small nest]

alright, then wish me luck and thanks for the help

[willow raft]

Nope, only the seekers, soldiers, ticks and royal jelly. Everything else is a one time thing, so if you break stairs they won't reassemble nor will cores or seal breaker parts.

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[vagrant bobcat]

my bro, u explored almost nothing, sail further in bigger radius

[small nest]

usually i stumbled across him while getting to elder (near him or a bit further)

[vagrant bobcat]

i found him on a next island

[small nest]

which bosses have you defeated? is it necessary for me to progress into the swamp with haldor?

[fringe sundial]

The merchants are separated from world progression AFAIK. You don't have to beat any boss to find and access the 2 merchants in game, but I believe some of their inventory is locked behind world progression.

I am sure someone will correct me or quote the wiki at some point.

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I believe you can find them at any time, but Haldor’s wares changes after you defeat certain bosses.

I believe Hildir’s wares are entirely dependent on you doing her quests.

[vagrant bobcat]

not really.. but id die without having 450 weight limit

u can carry more ore and stuff

im currently at the stage before killing Moder

[small nest]

ah so im good without him?

[small nest]

anyway i found the guy, like you on another island

[vagrant bobcat]

hehe

i found him randomly when i was running away from a troll through forest

and i had no idea what that is.. so was very careful with approaching 😅

[small nest]

seems familiar enough

[hardy veldt]

is this enough to buy 2 meghingjords?

[shut holly]

nope

[hardy veldt]

1?

[shut holly]

..i think you'll be just a little short for one as well

im still half asleep, but I think that'll put you at around 750, need 950

[small nest]

yea loot maybe 3 or 5 chambers

[hardy veldt]

u were right

757 gold

[hardy veldt]

probably not even that we got all this from one crypt

[vagrant bobcat]

16 rubies and 11 pearls, that's nice

[pine reef]

is the eitr refiner or whatever its called bugged because i cannot get anythng in it like it eats the stuff from my inventory but it doesnt show anything in it anmd doesnt start

[fierce sierra]

i got same bug one time, i saved the map, closed the server , closed the game and started it again , problem solved for me

[pine reef]

ty

can i join to a server without crossplay with gamepass pc if the server is on steam

Hi. Can character's get deleted? My game froze and crashed and now my character is gone.

[true steeple]

Are there any backups when you click the manage saves button on the character select screen?

[languid verge]

Give me 2min.

[languid verge]

Yes there is.

No sorry, 0 back ups

I might have to, damn. Thanks for the help 🙂

[silent hare]

Scouting out locations for a late-game base. Having never gone past plains before, not sure what I should be looking for in terms of location. Ideally, I want to be set up to explore mistlands next, which is just south of this island chain. Suggestions?

[hollow mantle]

You can toggle waypoints on/off on the map screen. You can also turn off all map data from another player.

[neat steeple]

does turning off map data turn off the parts of the map they unconvered? I like my own waypoints

[honest cairn]

im not sure what to do me and my friends we just started the game we killed the troll and the first boss and we are completely lost now we dont know how to get better equipments or anything the best we can get now is the flint spear and the bow

[true steeple]

Have you been following Hugin’s advice? Go to the black forest and mine some ore, he should tell you what to do next.

You can make a pickaxe with Eikthyr’s antlers

[shut holly]

i would look at south/south-southeast of zeta

[hollow mantle]

It turns off parts of the map only they have seen.

[shut holly]

maybe other side of the mountain there

[honest cairn]

tysm bro + is there a fast transport methode its kinda taking a really long time to get from a place to other

[true steeple]

You unlock fast transport in the second biome

[silent hare]

So plains base on the east/southeast side of the mountain?

[silent hare]

Mistlands pretty much starts where the fog of war border is

[shut holly]

red could be ideal in a lot of ways. able to have your base in forest (with wolves?) but also have nearby plains and mistlands gardens is nice. if there's not enough room or no good spots or the map is zoomed in more than i think, blue area also looks good.

[shut holly]

but also this is just my opinion. what it really comes diwn to is, do what makes you most comfortable. i personally don't like mosquitoes wandering into my base, so i tend to build next to plains instead of in them. i also love my wolves. i also am not you. lol. have a good look around and go with your gut! 👍

I will say, you probably want to be able to walk into mist. you don't want to sail there, at first anyway. landings there can be...awkward. i like the look of zeta island for sure.

[silent hare]

Here's the zoomed out map. I haven't fully explored blue area yet - it might be a very tiny strip of plains before mistlands. Red area is probably a better bet, although not near water. However, at this point that's probably not a huge concern since I've already done most of my ore hauling to my meadows base.

[silent hare]

Yes I like the huge land border with mistlands on the island too. The mountain is nice because its low so plenty of wolves without much of a climb. I also didn't see any drakes or golems on my trip, which is a bonus.

[shut holly]

yeah i would scout red and blue areas well, dip into mist just a little -- listen for enemies to avoid them -- ideally you find a mist garden spot that's dirt not rocks, with a couple roots, doesn't have to be big but at the edge of mist is helpful. for metals I'd make a cart path from zeta once you pick a spot. you only really need mats for repair benches and a blast furnace, at first anyway. can do in 1-2 runs.

also take your blackmetal axe and if all is quiet, try sneaking some wood out of mistlands, a few wisp torches thrown up can help you quickly decide if a border spot is worth walling off for garden. if you don't love, tear them down and try further along the biome edge

[silent hare]

Awesome, will give it a go. Thanks for the suggestions.

[shut holly]

let me know how it goes!

[frank bobcat]

why sometimes when i create a world, it has a little of the map discovered away from me?

[shut holly]

you skipped the intro

the discovered area is where the valkyrie started carrying you toward spawn, but when you skip intro it just pops you straight to spawn. so you were in that spot for a second. in the sky.

[frank bobcat]

oh ok

[compact heath]

If you have found a new biome yet that is called "Black Forest" that is where you get fast transport and better weapons and equipment, a text will pop up when you find the biome, you need to make an Antler Pickaxe with drop from Eikthyr and take it with you and find metals in the Black Forest as the bird tells you to, listen to bird when he pops up

[ashen olive]

whats the build height limit with reinforcing black marble? Saw something neat in a minecraft build video and kinda want to replicate it? Also, what material order is best for anchoring structures above it? e.g. wood anchors blue even on max height stone. Can you chain that to go higher?

[compact heath]

wood iron should support marble if it touches it up to the 50m limit https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Building?file=Structure_integrity.png or maybe only 28m not sure (also not updated for marble that pic or for the new metal pillars from Ashlands

[ashen olive]

Hmm I see. Ty!

So would the iron mesh pieces work better than the wood iron posts? Like the Mistlands ruined bridges are constructed

[compact heath]

I think they give same stability as the wood iron

you can also hide them inside the marble if you don't want to see them, I often do that with stone or marble builds

I think the new metal pillars give a little more stability but super expensive, and as Ashlands hasnt been out that long, not that much testing may have been done

[ashen olive]

Neat. Ty!

So I have a quick grounding question. As regular wood grounds on stone, could you use that to extend higher? As an example, a max height 16m stone pillar, and putting a 16m wood pole on top

[grand whale]

Yo should i craft iron mace or iron sledge? I kinda like big dumb hammer but idk if it's worth it in terms of dps.

[compact heath]

my answer is BOTH 🙂

[ashen olive]

completely different uses! sledge is for crowd control and aoe damage, mace is single target damage, or at least, a much smaller area!

[grand whale]

Nah i'm not mining that much iron, i wasted 150 bars just to make 2 sets of equipment.

[compact heath]

Iron mace is goat for Stone Golem killing and Bonemass boss, Sledge is great for Crypts and even for Mistlands Dungeons super useful

[ashen olive]

there is no "best" weapon for everything! Just gotta figure out what enemies are weak to what and use that. Even basic fire arrows can be used for later game enemies, and sometimes Black Forest tier stuff can be just as good, if not better in some cases, for Mountain tier enemies

[compact heath]

Sledge also great for "you are being hunted" event

[grand whale]

Yeah but how much worse sledge's dps is?

[compact heath]

sledge is for when you face multiple enemies and want to knock them back and kill them safely, for single target combat or small amount of mobs you want the 1h iron mace

sledge is terrible for single target or only 2 targets

[grand whale]

So like 50% worse?

[ashen olive]

technically, its far higher for its use case.

Lets say mace does 100 damage per second, while sledge does 30.

against 1 or two enemies, mace is better.

if you have 4 enemies? sledge has 120 dps. 8 enemies? 240 dps.

very different use case :)

those values are completely made up btw, Just an example to illustrate the difference

Also, another great use case. Shockwaves from the sledgehammer damage stuff behind walls and doors. Can safely kill stuff that can't fight back if you hit it from the other side of a dungeon wall or door

[grand whale]

I just don't understand wiki, it says sledge has attack speed of 2,12 so it means that you deal your 55 blunt damage every 2,12 seconds? If yes than damn it's 66% worse.

[compact heath]

sounds about right

if you want the dps of sledge to be higher you need to hit at least 3 or 4 mobs at the same time

if its less it will still kill them but slower

[grand whale]

Okay so no big dumb hammer for my friend.

[compact heath]

both are really good weapons tbh

using a buckler and the iron mace just deletes stone golems in the mountains if you get your parries done well

[grand whale]

My friend wants to be a tank with tower shield and some big heavy stick.

[ashen olive]

Weapons arent just about raw damage numbers. The stagger amount for the sledge is 2x the mace. Its knockback is more than 2x.

Another SUPER IMPORTANT THING. The sledge has no multitarget penalty. The mace does. This means that the damage falls off when hitting multiple objects with a single swing. if youre in a dungeon corridor and swing your mace, you will likely hit 3 things. 2 walls and an enemy. that counts as 3 targets and the damage decreases accordingly.

This isnt a problem for the sledge. Thats just a quick example tho

[compact heath]

the tricky part about the sledge is getting the trophy, the iron just takes a bit of time and its also okay to only have it at level 1 or 2

[grand whale]

Now that i think of it you can't use shield with sledge-

[ashen olive]

there are very few weapons in the game that don't suffer multitarget penalty. Also the sledge is 2 handed so no tower shield for your friend :(

[compact heath]

correct

[grand whale]

Thank god i'm maining swords.

[grand whale]

Eh mace it is then.

[compact heath]

tower shields are bad for solo but you can make it work in multiplayer, they can't parry, so if shield need to use the iron mace

[ashen olive]

only 1 sword doesn't suffer multitarget penalty iirc :D

[grand whale]

I'm playing in trio, so one tower shield user is a must.

[grand whale]

Wdym only 1 sword, isn't it like whole sword's point?

[compact heath]

I think at least 2 (or 5 if you are counting the different versions yes)? Krom and Slayer versions? not sure about the 1H swords

[ashen olive]

from the 1 handed that can be used with a shield its just black metal no?

[grand whale]

Nah i'm 100% sure that my bronze sword didn't suffer the penalty.

[compact heath]

I think swords don't suffer it in general is what it feels like but I don't have official knowledge about it, swords seem to do well with multitarget

[grand whale]

I mean wiki says all swords don't suffer the penalty.

[ashen olive]

well damn I am wrong on this one. guess ive been misinformed in the past. just had a look at the wiki

I must have had old info. All swords now dont suffer the penalty

it used to just be black metal iirc

[compact heath]

from the wiki: Most player weapons have the multitarget penalty; exceptions are Swords (one-handed primary attack), Clubs (two-handed), Polearms (secondary attack) and Axes (two-handed primary attack).

[compact heath]

I believe it has always been all swords but I could be wrong, played since first week of EA and have 1900h

[ashen olive]

Huh. I've herd people in older videos say that black metal is the only one. Welp

[compact heath]

what makes bm sword so good is that is has pure slash, so much better than silver for things that don't take spirit damage or are resistant to it, better than mistwalker for some things that dont take frost damage etc

[ashen olive]

but yeah, exact numbers arent really too important here. Mace is for single target, sledge is for crowd control. Even against 1 enemy, if you have multiple players, the stagger and knockback on the sledge will make it invaluable

[compact heath]

sledge also makes you tanky in a way because of the strong knockback, current playthrough I havent found the trophy yet ah well

I wonder how the Deep North Sledge will be 🙂 (devs did hint that they wanted to have 1 weapon of each type available in DN and not have any gaps)

gaps in weapon progression is for the other biomes

[ashen olive]

im excited for the bow ngl. innate cold and slowing? hell yeah

[grand whale]

What kind of metal you'd even need for deep north.

[ashen olive]

or at least, I hope that will be what it is

[compact heath]

we will know in 2026 or 2027, maybe earlier haha

[ashen olive]

lmao

[compact heath]

but we should let them take the time they need, Ashlands is great, game is fantastic, want them to get the last biome right

back to topic I would still make the iron mace & the sledge just get more iron, sledge might come in handy in Mistlands and Plains too, if you have the trophy I would not skip it

[lilac coyote]

Well, 2025, but sure.

[grand whale]

I'd probably just make that one ice hammer for plains.

[compact heath]

is good for single target, plains mace also good for plains but not for Mistlands

Ashlands weapons are so good I'm struggling to decide which ones to make in which order haha

[grand whale]

I'm making fire sword for myself, that's for sure.

[compact heath]

Got Thundering Berserkir (2) and Ash Fang (1) so far will probably put Jade on it, and Staff ot the Wild which I used my first Jade on

Fire Sword takes quite a bit of exploring for the fragments

also Mistwalker (4) is great in Ashlands

[grand whale]

Yeah but it's a sword.

[compact heath]

you'll probably have a maxed Niddhogg for many hours before you get things for fire sword

[steep tusk]

Berserkir Axes >>> All

[grand whale]

That's if i decide to make it, can't say i'm a big fan of this 3 gem mechanic.

[compact heath]

they are freakin awesome and means I don't need to bring a wood cutting axe if thats my main weapon or a shield haha

[compact heath]

I love the mechanic, like Klausen or Root Fang or Thundering Nid or Berserkir are freakin amazing

the blood ones I'm not that into, but blue and green ❤️

[grand whale]

Thunder is the only somewhat good, 20% is good if you have 2 friends and y'all just pound the enemy till they are dead.

[steep tusk]

The best rune upgrade is "somewhat good"?

[compact heath]

Jade weapons are great especially on fast weapons or bow / crossbow and for harder difficulty modes

Iolite is absolutely amazing on anything and goat on fast weapons

[steep tusk]

Green is for Ranged.
Blue is for Melee.
Red is for Melee if you're running HHS and are fine with missing 25% of your HP at all times.

[compact heath]

Green is for melee too especially on Very Hard

[steep tusk]

Eh, disagree.

[shut holly]

don't put more on a box, mannn...i wanna like....go with the flow...

[compact heath]

agree to disagree xd

[steep tusk]

Poison doesn't do enough damage compared to Lightning.

And the Root matters far more on ranged for keeping things at range.

[compact heath]

the mobs don't turn when rooted, you can melee someone and then walk behind them and go ham without taking damage

[steep tusk]

They don't turn when dead either 😉
And lightning has both an AoE component (obvious) but also staggers them faster.

[shut holly]

someone said green immobilize works on bosses. have nit confirmed. if this is true, then green nidhogg or axes are...advisable. for most boss fights.

[steep tusk]

The first game ever where Bosses aren't immune to crowd control... interesting.

[compact heath]

saw someone fight Fader with green axes, seemed to work for him (very quick recovery from root for bosses though) and looked much easier than lightning

[grand whale]

You make 3 swords and give the boss Mahito treatment.

[shut holly]

my friend used all our jade. -.-

[compact heath]

Staff of the Wild ❤️

[shut holly]

i have blue axes and nidhogg, but also want to try greenies.

Gems are a bit rare

[shut holly]

[grand whale]

My team is so dumb, like parry god with a sword (me), friend with a polearm and tank with tower shield and a club.

[compact heath]

haven't done too much multiplayer in ashlands so might be tricky if its a lot of people with gems, unless you make a second world for extra gem farming

[grand whale]

Gems are really rare?

[compact heath]

who is giving you the maghic shields then oO

[grand whale]

Wha?

[compact heath]

there is quite a limited number of gems I think only 20 fortress in a world

[shut holly]

yeah i have a mining world, prepping in the side to venture south in it just for gems.

[compact heath]

ah you not in Mistlands yet

[compact heath]

good idea

[grand whale]

Yeah me and my homies just killed the elder and grinded some iron.

[compact heath]

new playstyle unlocks in Mistlands

[grand whale]

Oh you mean magic in general- Wait there are magic shields?

[compact heath]

also you will need more iron, for 4th and 5th biome need a hell of a lot

[compact heath]

sorry spoiler but yeah magic

[shut holly]

**the playstyle

[grand whale]

Also, i can't seem to understand what parry bonus does, it increases the amount of damage enemy takes while staggered?

[shut holly]

this. mining world was originally started as a swamp farm. now it's also for tar and gems. side of brains maybe

[shut holly]

World Modifiers vs. Global Keys pages is my latest find.

According to modifiers, "Enemy Level Up" is 100-140 for a 40% increased star chance on Very Hard.

But according to the Global Keys page, 200 would give you a 20% chance.
So either Keys is wrong, or World Modifiers should say 100 - 400 to give you that 40%.

[shut holly]

there are numbers in there, no one pays attention to those

[steep tusk]

Wow. I am no one? 😭

[shut holly]

no one else **

[lilac coyote]

Frankly those pages need merging. They're not different enough to need two. That does need fixing though.

[spiral marten]

Are vine berries broken? The bushes are growing fine but not producing fruit

[steep tusk]

Which is the correct number though? 😭

[shut holly]

where's your sense of mystery

[lilac coyote]

No, he's right. There's no point having the numbers at all if they're wrong.

[steep tusk]

It's not about mystery. It's about tuning.

Because sliders affect multiple things at a time.
Altering Global Keys allows you to specifically tune your experience.

[shut holly]

im jk lol. ofc it should be correct if numbers are stated

[steep tusk]

Like, what if you want to play on Normal, just with a higher star chance?

Or if you want the Very Hard +200% enemy damage, but want your own damage to stay at 100%.

Or go full Ghost Recon and bump both enemy and your own damage to 300% so everyone is oneshotting everyone else?

[shut holly]

most people don't have patience for that level of tuning. it's like the thing about how people on average check out and choose at random when you give them more than 3 options

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[lilac coyote]

Where are you seeing this bit? ' "Enemy Level Up" is 100-140 for a 40% increased star chance on Very Hard.

[lilac coyote]

I don't see the 40% increased star chance bit.

That's saying that for the Very Hard setting, level up chance is 140% of the default setting.

Same as enemy damage is 200% (or twice) of the normal damage values.

[steep tusk]

But default star chance is 10%, so what is the 100% for Normal?

That specific column is just... weird imo.

[lilac coyote]

It's 100% of normal...

So 10%.

200% would be 20%.

It's confusing, to be fair, because they're both percentages.

[steep tusk]

Personally I would change that specific column 🤷‍♂️
Because normal is 90% 0 Star, 9% 1 Star, 1% 2 Star.
And that spread isn't really conveyed well.

[rugged haven]

Can someone give me pointers how to redeem a completely botched Yagluth fight? (Training world with default passive mobs)
My combat skills are in the 25 area, maxed Draugr Fang and frost arrows hit his model, but do basically no damage. (Of 60 shots, 40 impacted on him without any damage numbers or impact on the health bar) Maxed Frostner with blackmetal shield keeps me in his nova radius (dead on the second tick with maxed iron armor and barley wine) although i must admit that he at least got 5% damage out of that attempt.
He has shredded through most of the natural obstacles already and is roaming around.
I have yet to try only frostner and my two pieces of lvl1 fenris armor and maybe preparing a few ground pillars at a place and luring him there afterwards? His altar is near the coast. (I'm currently at work and can't try immediately)

[compact heath]

Lots of ways, weapon could be silver sword if you want to prepare properly, Iron Armour is not good for him, why not padded armour if going for heavy? You could prepare a new arena with some earth pillars and lure him there, also make sure you use the best plains foods you can make, Lox Pie or Serpent Stew and bread / blood pudding any combination of those 4 depending on your preferences, I do it with 2 stam 1 hp normally. Ideally to make an end to him quickly I would max out the silver sword, makes things easier. Barley wine is a must too. Another super super long preparation would be an army of tamed lox or wolves (ideally 2 stars) which is almost sort of a cheese) any other questions? Spawn proof the new arena with campfires and also clear any villages or tar pits nearby)

[rugged haven]

No padded armor yet, because trying to farm flax in the meadows wasted 50 of 58 plants before i realized it can't be grown there. Lox i have yet to learn to tame and so far i killed two serpents in my whole career. One while it fought a troll on a tiny island, the other with a veteran player on a community server. so yeah, it now looks like the week will end before that fight does ^^'

[compact heath]

I hope I gave you enough tips, you could try as much of it as possible, might be better than just keep trying on Yag and running your food stocks low and keeping dying and all that. The silver sword at high level is best in slot for Yagluth, nothing beats it at that stage of the game. Kinda impressed you managed to plant 50 before you noticed it doesn't grow there by the change of the plants look 🙂

Raining is counted as storm I think, so the best time to find serpents is at night during rain / storm.
They also seem to appear in the same general area, so once you found a serpent and you want more, go to the same spot you found it before.

Serpents are balanced for black forest equipment, like greydwarves and trolls

[small nest]

it left me alone for some reason lol, ik about food its my maybe 3rd time playing the game

i still freak out when i see one of them, they just seem powerful

[true steeple]

If you can make a harpoon, pull them near land before you kill them so you scan collect their scales

[dire hamlet]

is it not safer to kill them with a arrow mid jump in the ocean instead? that way you don't risk lossing your boat trying to beech them

and you get to kill a serpent or 2 more where you can potentinally get even more scales than beeching one

[steep tusk]

Drag them to shore and dig out a pond. Then you have a pet!

[elder acorn]

are there any ways to make inventory management better? my freind keeps complaining about not having enough slots since weapons, armor, arrows and food take up about half their inventory space

[steep tusk]

Tell your friend to stop carrying things they don't need to.

[dire hamlet]

then you need to make sure it spawned due to bad weather if you want to keep it

[elder acorn]

i think you typically need food and wepons on you to do anything so, i dont think thats unreasonable

[steep tusk]

No?

[dire hamlet]

or carry a workbench and a portal at all times so you can go back to your base as often as you need

[true steeple]

If you need to free some slots, put your food in a chest by your bed and eat every time you wake up instead of eating from your inventory

[steep tusk]

You can technically stop carrying food once you hit the Swamp, and you can completely stop carrying it once you hit the Plains.

So that's 3 slots back.
"Weapons" shouldn't be plural beyond 1 melee and your bow. So that's more slots back from however many extra melee weapons they are carrying for no reason.

[elder acorn]

but if youre out doing stuff for over 30 minutes like mining or something you still need that food on you, not to mention later on more space will be taken up by meads

[steep tusk]

If you're staying awake through the night that's an active choice, so they don't get to complain about the consequences 🤷‍♂️

Also if you know the day is dedicated to mining, you can leave the Hammer, Hoe, and Axe at home.
So that's more slots available.

Thinking about what you're doing to do for the day and taking only that stuff is "need".

[mystic solar]

If you play on pc, use a mod for a better inventory. A lot of people do, me included.

[steep tusk]

Taking one of everything "just because" is why people have inventory problems.

[elder acorn]

i probably will because i dont see why vanilla makes you minmax your inventory

[willow raft]

Mods or stop carrying stuff you don't need.
Not planning on doing any terraforming leave the hoe and pickaxe at home.
Do make sure to take portal materials with you so when the need does come up you can get the stuff.

[steep tusk]

If you're just going to mod the game why even ask here?

[elder acorn]

because i wanted to know if there was a vanilla way to store more arrows or something like a quiver so not more than one space is taken up by arrows

[mystic solar]

Probably because he wasn't sure if there is an in game solution. Now he knows.

[steep tusk]

Only 1 space is taken up unless... as I said... you're choosing to take more than you need.

[steep tusk]

There is. He doesn't seem to want to do it 🤷‍♂️

[willow raft]

Why carry that many arrows though.
100 of the best arrows you can make should suffice for a while and go back to base with a portal if you need more.

[elder acorn]

im not the one with the issue i dont use a bow, but i dont see why there isnt just armor equip slots, i shouldnt be punished with less inventory space by wearing armor

[steep tusk]

Go make your own game and you can balance it however you want 🤷‍♂️

[mystic solar]

Cause it doesn't do what he is looking for. I always carry food myself, because I often stay out longer. Throwing down a campfire to refresh rested is easy enough, can usually find the mats out and about.
It's about more choices how to play, not arbitrarily restricting them due to a slightly too small inventory.

[steep tusk]

The "why" is answered in "because the devs chose to design it that way, as they believe it is best for the game they are making."

[lilac coyote]

Some, not a lot.

[steep tusk]

Most every game of this type and most all RPGs and many, many other games operate on inventory restriction, weight restriction, or both.

It is a very common mechanic for balancing how the game feels and plays. 🤷‍♂️

[elder acorn]

the game forces you to play a very specific way if you want reasonable inventory space and survival games usually arent that restricting in play style

[steep tusk]

Yes... they are. 😂

[elder acorn]

weight has never been an issue, espesially since it can be upgraded, thats why i assumed thered be a way to make the other issue less worse

[lilac coyote]

What issue?

[steep tusk]

If weight has never been an issue, you've clearly never mined any ore in the game.

[dire hamlet]

come on guys, why haven't any of you told him about the cart yet? 🤣

[mystic solar]

I'm not saying the inventory size shouldn't be restricted at all. Simply that the chosen size is about one row or 8 slots too small.
But who cares, you're not going to change your opinion, nor will I 😎

[elder acorn]

theres many ways around that though, carts boats

[willow raft]

Or chopped a bunch of wood.

[elder acorn]

theres no way around the limited inventory slots other than play like a freak

[steep tusk]

So you have already used the 2 literal inventory expansions the game gives you?

[steep tusk]

This is insulting.

[elder acorn]

so you want me to take my cart and my boat into the crypts?

good idea ill to that next time

[lilac coyote]

Just learn to carry only what you need. It's not hard.

[steep tusk]

🤝

[willow raft]

Park them outside the crypts.

[small nest]

is it common for swamps this size to contain zero crypts?

[steep tusk]

It's all RNG.

[elder acorn]

so they get destroyed by draugers or other enemies, good idea too

[willow raft]

Rngeezus was not with you this day.

[small nest]

grind never ends 🥹

[willow raft]

They only get destroyed if you are outside the crypt, once inside the crypt the world outside the crypt stops existing.

[lilac coyote]

Why would they attack it when you're not there?

[steep tusk]

Seems to be very, very hard.

Just like irl. Every day when you leave you pack your tennis racket, golf clubs, swimming suit, and a whole picnic basket "just in case" because taking only what you need for the day is something only "freaks" do...

[dire hamlet]

we should really learn something from snails, carry our home around us wherever we go

[steep tusk]

I'll start leaving a trail of fluids behind me 😉

[willow raft]

I once had a racing snail and I wanted to make it more aerodynamic so I took away its shell, it didn't work it became sluggish.

[elder acorn]

yes, this is a video game, not real life, usually when you go play tennis all you need it your racket and a water bottle, in this game, theres many situations that can come up that you need to be prepared for, and if you dont have the right stuff on you youll be out of luck
