[lilac coyote]

Not really.

[steep tusk]

You can be prepared for any random situation with the system I have described.

[willow raft]

The only thing you really need is a melee weapon and a bow, some arrows, your armor and maybe some food.
Then have portal materials with you and anything you aren't carrying with you can be gotten with the portal if the need does arrive.
You could also do dedicated outings, for example you need some metal, only go for that metal and don't care about anything else.

[steep tusk]

I consistently have 16-18 slots available when heading out.
And that is with me carrying health and stamina pots.

[willow raft]

About the same here, now in the ashlands I've got 14 since I'm carrying some extra staves for testing purposes.

[dire hamlet]

i am down to 13 :/

[mystic solar]

Don't argue with the die hard "this game needs to be played vanilla only" crowd.
Certain things can be easily solved with mods, just don't overdo the modding imo, since for the most part the game is really good as it is.

[steep tusk]

Then you kill 2 enemies and they drop 9 different items 😭

[lilac coyote]

Nothing needs solving.

[willow raft]

You then select what you really need or is harder to come by and leave all the rest on the ground.

[steep tusk]

I agree to this.
Mods exist if you believe the devs made a mistake. Which Sleepy clearly does.
So just hop down to that channel and get the "fix" you believe needs to be added.
Problem solved.

[mystic solar]

Have you tried yet to get the modding sites to shut down? 😏

[lilac coyote]

No? Why would we?

Theyre fine as long as they don't charge.

[willow raft]

You can play it anyway you want, want to add some mods that makes it a better experience for you go ahead.

The fact remains that a whole slew of people play it vanilla and enjoy it that way and have found ways to work around the "problems" the game introduces you to.
So "inventory space is too little" has been "solved" by many people and there isn't a problem with the game giving too little inventory space.
The problem exists more with the people carrying stuff they don't really need for the just in case scenarios they think up.

[mystic solar]

I've got over 2k hours played, and can say from experience (since I tried vanilla too) that I find the game way more enjoyable with slightly bigger inventory.
Going by the frequency of requests here for an increase of the inventory size, as well as download numbers for a certain mod (which only reflect pc players), l dare say a lot of players share my opinion.

[steep tusk]

And what matters is that the devs do not 🤷‍♂️

[willow raft]

I wouldn't mind having more inventory space but how it is now isn't a problem for me.
I'm glad that mods exist to help people get the experience they want.
Lot's of players will share your opinion and it is a valid opinion to have, there are also lots of players that don't and it is equally valid.

[compact heath]

I agree with devs, it would make the game more boring to me if I could carry any amount of different items, would take away choices of what to carry - just my personal opinion

[steep tusk]

Which is why all games of this type have said restriction.

[compact heath]

I know some games that don't, and they have less longevity

[elder acorn]

i dont think the restricted inventory is what keeps this game alive

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion 👍

[compact heath]

no but its one of many little things that contributes imho

[lilac coyote]

I don't think anyone said that.

[elder acorn]

no thats quite literally what was implied

[compact heath]

disagree, I think you misunderstood, we only talked about that on a low level

what truly makes a game, hardly anyone understands imo, otherwise all we'd get would be great games like Valheim and others which this channel is not the right one to discuss this in as its the help channel

[elder acorn]

the statement some games that dont have this inventory restriction have less longevity directly implies that this game having these restrictions makes it have more longevity

[steep tusk]

I mean, in the most literal sense that is true. As it will take you longer to acquire and move everything due to the restriction.

[elder acorn]

yes, which is what i would consider a waste of time

[compact heath]

I can agree with Sevrahn but yeah its just one tiny bit, but feels wrong to discuss in help channel xD

[elder acorn]

its deffinetly not fun taking 3 minutes setting up a portal to grab what you need and then take the portal down again

[steep tusk]

I am not debating the "fun-ness" of it.
Your original ask was how to manage.
Management was fully explained and you disliked all explanations.
That means mod it. There isn't much else to debate 🤷‍♂️

[elder acorn]

which also dosent work while mining since portals dont allow metals

[steep tusk]

If it takes you 180s to build a portal I have... questions.

[elder acorn]

set up the portal, empty your inventory, grab the tools/eat the food you need, repair your tools then go back

something around that time, unless you have all that stuff right outside of your portal, which i do not since my storage, workbench and forge arent all in the same place since i built my vilage to look good and not be efficient as possible

[steep tusk]

Dump chest. Just hold E and your inventory empties.
Repair takes like 8 clicks at most.

So you choose to not have a fast room for purely when gathering, and it slows you down, which is somehow the game's fault?

It's a solvable problem.
You are choosing not to solve it. 🤷‍♂️

[elder acorn]

the game forcing you to play a certain way is certainly its fault yes

especially when the game encourages against it

[buoyant peak]

That is a good thing

[steep tusk]

Right. Forgot how much my inability to grow wings is a fault of the game as it is forcing me to walk on the ground.

[elder acorn]

thats why i said its playing like a freak to do that kinda stuff

[steep tusk]

Still insulting 🤷‍♂️

[buoyant peak]

Think of overcoming those obstacles rather than expect the game to hand everything to you on a silver plate

[elder acorn]

yes i know, apparently lots of valheim players are freaks

[buoyant peak]

Adapt to the game, don't expect the game to adapt to you

[buoyant peak]

The average players think raids are dangerous.

Not freaks, just idiots

[mystic solar]

You do have options. The game has a setting which allows to portal anything, if you prefer that.
I usually have a portal when mining, so I can drop off non ore, then transport the ore home with a boat, which can be an adventure in itself.

[dire hamlet]

yay i am a idiot 😄
but a happy one

[elder acorn]

so im an idiot for not playign the survival game the most optimal way

[steep tusk]

No one said that.

We said you are one for complaining about problems that have solutions.

If you don't want to solve them, don't. But then you forfeit the right to complain about it. 🤷‍♂️

[willow raft]

You could make a room / house in the village that has the bare minimum you need to be efficient and make it look good from the outside and can even have it look good on the inside.
Have a forge and a workbench there to the right level to repair what you need repaired.
Have a chest to dump everything in and have a chest with all the tools and food you might need.
So that it takes less than 3 minutes.

Is is all doable, if you don't want to do it that is your choice and if you want to carry more than what you absolutely need is also your decision.

[mystic solar]

Optimal is in the eye of the player. There are many settings in the game already to adapt it to your taste. And what's missing, can usually be solved another way.

[lilac coyote]

Hang on, noone called them an idiot.

[steep tusk]

If I say that they just reply with how it was "implied" so I am skipping that step.

[buoyant peak]

You just included yourself in the demographic, not me...

[elder acorn]

the game should not make you have to play 100% optimally to have a reasonable expirence, there should be some leeway, being punished for not playing the best way possible is very very dumb

[steep tusk]

It doesn't.

[lilac coyote]

It really really doesn't.

[elder acorn]

well thats what youve been saying the whole time so

[compact heath]

I think we shouldn't discuss this in the help channel, just my 2 cents >_>

[steep tusk]

You just seem to define "reasonable" differently than most people. 🤷‍♂️

[elder acorn]

yea differently from the freaks, weve been over this

[willow raft]

No we have been saying that there is a work around to each "problem" you have.
If those solutions don't work for you find yourself a world setting or a mod that changes the game to how you want it.

[buoyant peak]

No

[steep tusk]

Can we stop insulting people?

[lilac coyote]

He's only quoting Rianu.

[frail cave]

Hey yesterday my friend and I started to play Valheim again. At first everything went fine we were playing for like 2 hours and then my riend had a disconnect due to her own internet connection problems. Since then it hasnt been possible for us to connect to each other because it always "failed to connect". I tried every tip&trick i found on the internet but nothing seems to work we both even reinstalled the game.

I am on Windows and my friend is a Mac User. Can anyone help us figure ot the problem? Thank you!

[hollow mantle]

Not sure if this the right channel or not. Because it’s more of a “anyone any idea what happened?” question, rather than a “how do I prevent this?”, anyway…

So, last night I was clearing out a Frost Cave, and had a weird occurrence…

Before I go into any dungeon I will set up a workbench, chest, and portal, just outside the entrance to the dungeon.

Did this as per normal, and dove in. Just as the “Frost Cave” screen came up I hear the snarl of a wolf. “No worries”, I think, “they won’t do anything whilst I’m in the dungeon, and I can deal with them when I come out”…

So, I clear out all the enemies and start collecting materials…

Inventory full so head out, ready to kill that wolf…

But I get out to find no wolf, the portal and chest materials lying on the ground, and the workbench one tiny sliver away from collapse!

What happened there? I thought the exterior world paused when in a dungeon?

[frail cave]

it's not, dungeons aren't in a separate map or anything, they're just way up in the sky above yggdrasil, so the area around the entrance remains loaded as if you were there

[hollow mantle]

Oh, I see. Interesting. But then that raises the question of why in the past when there’s been an enemy outside a dungeon when I go in they’re just still there when I come out?

[frail cave]

could it be that they just spawned close to the cave? when enemies lose aggro, they just walk back to where they first spawned.

if there's a structure nearby that's attacked on sight, it would distract them for a while. as would other enemies that they're hostile towards. stone golems and drakes for example can be at a stalemate for a long time before the golem finally manages to hit the drake

[mystic solar]

It seems others have a similar problem, have a look here: #mac-bugs-discussion message

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, that’s possible. And when I’ve experienced it in the past it’s been in the swamp, where I’ll construct the stuff on top, so I guess the enemies hang around because they can’t destroy that stuff?

[frail cave]

yea!

[small nest]

can mistlands spawn near my bonemass?

[true steeple]

It could have mistlands nearby but if you’re sailing you should be ok unless it’s completely surrounded

[willow raft]

It could.

[small nest]

wish me luck i wont have to encounter bugs

[willow raft]

Most swamps have a coastline though, so sail around if you encounter mistlands, you might find a safe route.

[small nest]

there are swamps without coastline?

[willow raft]

Yeah but I think that is more a glitch in the world generation than anything else.

[elder acorn]

any tips for finding turnips

or did the devs just make it like a 0.05% chance for the seeds to spawn

[steep tusk]

Nah, they are just harder to spot because Swamp is dark af.

When you aren't looking for them, you'll see them everywhere.

[elder acorn]

i dont have an issue spotting them they just dont ever spawn

[willow raft]

I find that I spot them the best at dusk or dawn when the sun is low.

[lilac coyote]

I'd disagree. They're definitely spawning.

[elder acorn]

well i have 3 people all looking for them so

i dont think were all that blind

if they were even half as common as carrot seeds we wouldve found at least a few

[thorn spire]

They're not as common as carrot seeds, I think.

I've struggled to find them in the past as well. I got so lucky on my current playthough, was sailing past a swamp while looking for Haldor and Hildir, saw a seed-turnip on a spit of land right by the coast. I jumped off and grabbed it and kept on sailing.

[willow raft]

I was just planning to set my first steps into the swamp and right there on the edge of the swamp and blackforest was a turnip seed plant.

[thorn spire]

damn. RNG likes you, I guess.

[willow raft]

Sometimes, other times it hates me.

[thorn spire]

seems it's like that.

[elder acorn]

i just dont know why they made carrot seeds so common but then made the seeds that spawn in the worst biome the rarest

[thorn spire]

I don't think swamp was meant to be fun. It's a slog, for sure.

[elder acorn]

i dont mind it

[thorn spire]

Once you get used to it, it's fine though.

[elder acorn]

if the damn turnip seeds were more common

[thorn spire]

Keep exploring, then. You're going to need to locate more crypts for iron anyway.

[elder acorn]

no

were maxed on iron

[thorn spire]

wow, that's bad luck I guess, then. I agree with @willow raft though, they're a bit easier to spot at dusk and dawn.

[elder acorn]

its not like they blend in all too much

like its really not an issue of seeing them, they justdont spawn

[fringe needle]

We needed three quite big swaps to find one. When we found ours, we talked ”we’re not that blind all that we missed this before.” After that first one we have found easier more turnips from swamps - even from those we explored before and that kind of placies from where it could have been really difficult to miss that predicular turnip (we saw it from far).

[lilac coyote]

They haven't. I think the spawns are about the same.

[true steeple]

Why is swamp the worst biome?

[steep tusk]

Meadows worst biome.

[willow raft]

Dullest but also the most tranquil and nice to have a chill out base there.
Swamp worst.
Mistlands most fun.

In my opinion.

[true steeple]

Mistlands > Swamp > Plains > Mountains > Meadows > Black forest
I can’t put ashlands here because I haven’t played it normally, only with a commands character for the public test.

[shut holly]

i'm just scouting for swamps on my new run, haven't killed elder yet and i swooped some turnip seds already...just sayin...

[dire hamlet]

i have a base in the ashlands

[willow raft]

We took over a fortress for a forward base but nothing more than that since we can transport everything by stone portal.

[dire hamlet]

i built my operator base in there with alot of charred enemies trapped below in a pit topped with a iron grid over the top

gives a really nice atmosphere

[steep tusk]

Plains > All

[willow raft]

That is my second favourite and we make our main base there.

[small nest]

hey, will i have issues with bonemass using maxed out sword, banded shield and armour? also swamp tier food and mead resistance to poison

[real nebula]

You might not be doing as much damage as you'd like with a slashing weapon, but otherwise you should be fine

[small nest]

yea i was mainly not sure if sword will do the work, thanks

[tulip tartan]

should i put points into fists?

[shut holly]

all the cool kids do

[dark raven]

Someone please boat me to my loot

[frail cave]

i have full flametal armor, do fire resist potions benefit me in anyway anymore?

[fringe sundial]

Heat resistance is different than fire resistance. So yes.

[frail cave]

what does heat resistance do for me

[buoyant peak]

More grace period from lava and boiling waters before it kills you

[loud linden]

Interestingly, lava has a much higher viscosity than many people think. It's definitely hot as all hell, but it would be easier to run across than swim through.

[rough pelican]

ive caught fish by casting and reeling in, they will sometimes swim right at you and you can spam "E" if they get close out of the water enough. im currently trying that on the Magma Feesh xD

[loud linden]

I can't say it with certainty, but I feel like I've acquired as many fish from them beaching themselves as I have from fishing for them.

[fringe sundial]

Wonder if the "use steep roofs" cheese work for magma fish.🤔

[loud linden]

The problem is that cheese doesn't remain solid in Ashlands.

[rough pelican]

aaah i just got one! xD

[fringe sundial]

Even the stone roofs?

[frail cave]

does a lvl 4 mistwalker outdamage a lvl 2 electric nidhögg ?
mistwalker has spirit and frost damage...
whats more damage against ashlands mobs,

[loud linden]

Hit the Valheim Wiki and check out the damage vulnerabilities/resistances for Ashland mobs.

[frail cave]

can a very very smart and helpful person help and do that for me, im not very good with calculations

[small nest]

enough for bonemass?

[loud linden]

It'll take you 45 seconds. You got this!

[loud linden]

Poison is your major worry with Bonemass.

[small nest]

got the meads i think im good now

[frail cave]

@loud linden since u seem keen on not helping me or letting other people help me (this is the help channel XD) would u mind linking the site for the vulnerabilities chart for ashland mobs i cant find it

[loud linden]

You misunderstand me. I'm of the whole "...teach a man to fish..." school of thought. I tell you how to find the answer, not just give it to you.

[frail cave]

oh ok, ty for the help glorious moose, you are a very smart kind helping reasonable fella!!!

[steep tusk]

All Ashlands mobs are vulnerable to ||Death||.

[buoyant peak]

https://tenor.com/view/nodding-yes-proud-jeremiah-johnson-yess-gif-17905836

[steep tusk]

I genuinely have no idea what you are referencing.

[loud linden]

Oh sorry... wrong reply.

[loud linden]

Oh is that Jeremiah Johnson? I've seen that meme for years, but I'm not American, so never really understood it beyond the meme meaning. Yay for learning!

[small nest]

most if not all (boss included) ashlands enemies are neutral to slash and blunt damage, some get it from poison and some get it from spirit

[hard field]

anyone know if tamed boars will actually starve to death or not? I keep seeing reddit posts saying they dont but google says they do

[steep tusk]

They will not.

[hard field]

awesome thank you

[honest cairn]

can we grow grass on the land after making it flat?

[steep tusk]

Cultivator.

[small nest]

which is made with strong alloy of two metals combined and special wood type from high pine trees

[lilac coyote]

Man posts screenshot from Wiki, gets told to look at Wiki.

[loud linden]

Did you just assume ~~my ~~their gender?!

[lilac coyote]

No. Did you even read my comment?

[loud linden]

Too slow!

[lilac coyote]

Apparently.

[tulip tartan]

i'd assume since it's just hot rock

[fossil gate]

chat am I cooked

[loud linden]

I mean, I'd start by downing your boar/deer meat.

[terse sentinel]

Hey guys. I hopped into public test and have reverted to the live game and now my character isn't there. The character shows up in the backups but I can't select him. Any tips?

[fossil gate]

I died but I got my stuff out

[lilac coyote]

Either roll back to an earlier version or wait until the versions are merged.

[fossil gate]

for the tanning rack I need 20 boar hide, how am I supposed to get that they're kinda rare considering the quantity can you breed them or something?

[lilac coyote]

Yes.

Though boar really aren't rare.

[fossil gate]

do they spawn more in the black forest than meadows?

[steep tusk]

They don't spawn anywhere other than the Meadows.

[fossil gate]

ah okie

[small nest]

excellent ocassion to scout the terrain for you

[terse sentinel]

Got it to work, thank you!

Everytime I try to join our private server, I got this error. Cant even type password and got back into main menu. It says something about "key"... Any idea how to track it?

[lilac coyote]

Running any mods? Looks like a mod issue.

[fossil gate]

i dont understand how to lose trolls, I cant kill them yet and I cant go back to my house because its chasing me I cant get him caught on trees and stuff

[mellow lodge]

do you have a spear? trolls are simple once you understand their timing, and just roll. They swing at you? Roll. then stab stab. Wait for attack. Roll. Stab stab. Repeat as needed.

always roll towards them. Right up in their face... er... ankles

[fossil gate]

oh wait

I can roll? I didn't know that 😭

[mellow lodge]

yes, it's a dodge roll. on an xbox controller you hold left bumper, and then B. On mouse/keyboard I'm not sure

[fringe sundial]

Something like block+jump= roll...if I am remembering right.

[mellow lodge]

yes, that's it

Eventually you will get get better shields and block skill, and you can parry. That's even better.

Oh, it will be annoying if your fight with the troll summons greydwarves. it can get chaotic.

You need to master the dodge roll. It's essential for the game.

[fossil gate]

yeah its right click and space I managed to lead it into a meadow and it de aggrod

[fringe sundial]

Fighting, mining, chopping down trees all make noise and noise attracts other mobs to the area.

[mellow lodge]

Eventually you'll just use trolls to mine, or chop down trees for you.

[fossil gate]

HES BACK 😭

[fringe sundial]

Most every activity does but sneaking.

If you have a bow and wood arrows, you can hit him from far and just keep backing up every time he comes closer.

[mellow lodge]

it takes sooooo long to kill with a bow though. Master the dodge roll and stab him in the ankles! 🙂

i finally figured out the timing for abominations, and it's so much nicer to chop them down

[atomic sinew]

hi, I'm new to the game, and I have a question, me and some friends launched the modded game to help us in vanilla but we don't understand why our resources are unlimited

[thorn spire]

if you're running a modded game, try in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[vagrant stump]

is the drakkar faster than the longship?

[fossil gate]

the cart is so unusable 😭 how do bushes kill it

whats the best bronze weapon

[steep tusk]

Best is subjective.

[fossil gate]

I chose the sword first

[fringe sundial]

Best will always be subjective. The axe is very utility, the atgeir is great if you get surrounded, mace is best against skeletons and blobs.

[fossil gate]

there seems to be a lack of copper in this forest 😦

these aren't copper are they because they dont have the lines

does mining attract trolls because he just beamed towards me instantly from a while away

I dont get it, I cant kill the trolls because I run out of stamina far before I get below 80% hp

[mellow lodge]

yes, mining attract trolls

don't get hit by troll. again. Dodge, hit twice. stop. let stamina regen. Dodge, hit again. let stamina regen. Repeat as necessary.

sometimes I would just stand there infront of the troll, not attacking, waiting for enough stamina to feel safe to dodge roll and then swing twice.

Trolls seem scary because they are big and can hit hard. but their move set is very very small. Easy to learn.

[true steeple]

Dodge-rolling grants invincibility for a short time, which is great for fighting trolls and other enemies with big attack hitboxes

[fossil gate]

I managed to kill one of them because he got stuck in a tree and after I just kited him with the bow

[true steeple]

You don't need food in your hotbar, you can right-click in your inventory to eat/equip items

[mellow lodge]

Trolls are weak to pierce btw. A flint spear may be better than that sword, and way easier to craft than a bronze spear.

I use an abyssal dagger when I want to kill trolls right now. I'm not past the iron age yet in this run. But even the flint spear was fine for it.

[true steeple]

Flint knife is very good too, and Yooda already has that

[plush snow]

How do I stagger trolls with an atgeir? I've seen people wreck them, am I looking for a certain window to parry? Or is it generally from damage?

[mellow lodge]

i'm no expert, and the wiki probably explains it, but isn't stagger from taking a certain amount of damage? so parry + hit probably staggers, if regular hit doesn't?

or secondary attack if it does more damage than normal attack

[rare cargo]

Hi, Me and my friend are playing on my dedicated server.
We have come to swamp, but when we cut down an ancient tree, I can see the Logs/tree pieces falling down after cutting it, but the logs are not visible for my friend

[compact heath]

You need better food, grow carrots (need cultivator which is made with bronze) also need 10 tin for the cauldron, this will help with fighting trolls

[lusty panther]

Does anyone want to help me recover my body in the Plains? I need a big strong viking to beat up some Lox for me. I have portals set up really close to my body and next to the Stone Circle.

[frail cave]

cant post in #valheim-chat ...
is this a bug? i died while farming and the vein was sinking i now come back and it didnt sink??

[tired notch]

Yes it is

[bright hollow]

What gear would you guys recommend for swamp? I have a bronze buckler, mace and troll hide armour

[lilac coyote]

Sounds good. Don't forget your poison resist meads.

[frail cave]

upgrade your mace to max rlly good

[fossil gate]

how do I take it out

[frail cave]

u can punch it

wont get refund

[tulip tartan]

how do i make fire inside

i'm stopped from sleeping cause it rains all the time and its annoying

[frail cave]

hard to explain, look it up on google there are videos

[subtle parrot]

As long as you don't turn on the fire spread mechanic, you can just make a capped chimney so the smoke gets let out

[tulip tartan]

but i cant place campfires on wood floors

[subtle parrot]

Break the floor and put it on dirt

[hearty trout]

You have to use stone floors

[subtle parrot]

Or that

[tribal furnace]

Hello there! Looking for new vanilla server, not having any luck on the servers channel, anyone know anywher else i can look for servers at?

[subtle parrot]

Reddit?...

[hearty trout]

Or if you have the newish fire pit from Hildir you can place that on wood

[frail cave]

How do I get the forge? I have defeated Eikthyr

Cant find in my build menu

[subtle parrot]

Have you made it to a black forest?

[frail cave]

Yes

[subtle parrot]

Gotten a kiln and smelter together?

[frail cave]

I have unlocked them, if thats what you mean

[subtle parrot]

You'll need those and the pickaxe, go to the bf and find a big rock called a copper deosit, dig it out and gather the copper ore, smelt it into ingots and you can then unlock the forge for crafting building

[frail cave]

Thanks 🙏

[sudden galleon]

the copper you see on the surface is only the start way more copper is below

if your copper mine look like this thats mean you clear it

[hearty trout]

i'd recommend mining around it until the vein is flaoting and it'll pop, dropping all the ore at once

[remote frost]

does project auga still work? really like the health bar ui

[real nebula]

Probably want to ask in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[remote frost]

mb ty

[marsh ruin]

are there any doors immune to poison and lightning?

[lilac coyote]

I don't think doors take damage from poison.

[marsh ruin]

but they all take damage from lightning?

[finite palm]

Can I get help recovering my body?

Died so incredibly deep in the ashlands and have been banging my head against teh wall for hours

[hearty trout]

how does one help?

[finite palm]

join my game and escort me there lol

[hearty trout]

can you give me like 6 mins?

[finite palm]

yes that would be so huge

thank you

[hearty trout]

yee

is it realllyy far?

[finite palm]

yea kinda lol

it took me 10 min to run there the first time

just so many enemies

[hearty trout]

do i need to join a chat?

i'm ready

[finite palm]

yea eya

[hearty trout]

tell me where

[finite palm]

moder's lair i guess

[shut holly]

iron gate is the only door afaik

[marsh ruin]

hmm

[marsh ruin]

ty. thinking I just need a roof over it with same resistance

[shut holly]

marble should work for that

[marsh ruin]

ty

[compact heath]

and flametal gate

[shut holly]

wasn't sure on that, haven't used one myself...but wiki says neutral to lightning, not immune... 🤷‍♂️

[compact heath]

I feel like I need to test it now but imo doesn't make sense for it to be weaker than iron gate, but wiki is often right

its not cheap to make it haha

[shut holly]

iknow, but i was curious and, it also says, apparently flametal pillars are less durable than wood iron.. o.O

[tulip tartan]

do yall know what the elder looks like/ if he's powerful?

i found a vegvisir in a dungeon and it points to him

[compact heath]

durability I don't know but I heard the support is slightly better

[compact heath]

second boss, looks like an "ent" sorta and you have to summon him to fight, second boss (ideal to have good foods as he is harder than first boss (Eikthyr) so hopefully you defeated that one already and found some carrots etc?

[steep tusk]

He's easy. He dies in 7 Torches 😁

[shut holly]

lol

[tulip tartan]

if he's an ent he's weak to fire?

since ents are tree monsters

[compact heath]

he is actually not even weak to fire, he is VERY WEAK to fire 🙂

[tulip tartan]

and what do you offer to him?

[compact heath]

ancient seeds

[tulip tartan]

where do i get those

[compact heath]

destroying the purple spawners or drops from greydwarf brutes sometimes

[tulip tartan]

greydwarf.....brutes?

oh no

[compact heath]

yeah the big ones

33% chance for ancient seeds, but the spawners have 100% dropchance

you killed Eik yet?

[fervent ravine]

Viking looking to aid anyone. Will limit myself to whatever material you are on.

[steep tusk]

Fists only 😛

[fervent ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/mad-bruce-lee-threat-fist-angry-gif-17242972

[steep tusk]

oof, auto-ban from my world.
This is a Chuck Norris zone.

😏

[fervent ravine]

you said fists, not apocalyptic round house

[bright hollow]

how important are skills? I am aware that they do contribute to your efficiency but the game doesnt really show how much impact they make

[steep tusk]

They are literally just free stats.
The game is not balanced concerning them.

[bright hollow]

is it worth going out of your way to level them up and which ones?

[steep tusk]

Worth is subjective to the individual 🤷‍♂️

[true steeple]

It’s best to level them up by playing the game normally, you’ll never need to grind any skills.

[compact heath]

imo one exception, the 2 magic skills, as you get them very late and they are soo much better if at level 20-40 or higher as opposed to having them at level 1 in the 6th biome...

[true steeple]

But if you use them as your main weapons you’re going to reach level 20 very quickly anyway

[compact heath]

you can only have skills if you do not die much, if you have very high skills in like the 60-70+ range it feels almost as setting the difficulty modifier one step down, normal feels like easy, hard feels like normal etc. but you cannot actually have skills if you die a lot because they will drop soon and then all the upskilling was for naught

[vagrant bobcat]

The most op skill is bow

It reduces ur draw time rly fast at high skill

[bright hollow]

thank you guys

also why does valheim at main menu make my gpu temps go to like 76C but in game its like 61C

[buoyant peak]

Useful but ignorable, not worth wasting time on actively grinding them

[mystic solar]

It's not a good idea to let your pc idle with Valheim main menu open, as it stresses your system.
If you play solo and need a short break, just hit escape, that pauses the world.

[naive sonnet]

How to join a dedicated server in Asia? newbie here, I just want to play with other people, thanks!

Browse at your leisure or make a post yourself.

[naive sonnet]

thank you

[buoyant nexus]

what can I do about the ICE Golem respawning every 1 min? Can I put a workbench to prvent it?

[willow raft]

Either that or dig a hole and trap one in there, they have a maximum of 1 in a certain radius.
Other golems from further away can wander in so there are 2 or more but no more will spawn.

[buoyant nexus]

okay. do we know why the respawn timer is that low?

[jagged badge]

This is good advice, tell it to my cats who regularly manage to open the game while I'm asleep or at work.

[frail cave]

the interval is 2 minutes with a 25.6% chance to succeed per attempt, like almost all enemies in the game, they spawn randomly anywhere in the chunk that just tried to spawn one, no fixed spawn points, so unless you spawnproof every bit of naked terrain around your base, you won't be able to completely get rid of them.

(the interval is so low since it's just a chance and unlike other big enemies, they spawn asleep, so it's more likely than usual you're not even gonna run into them.)

[bright hollow]

what are the first iron items i should make?

[steep tusk]

100 Nails.

Always.
Without contest.

[compact heath]

i do stonecutter first so i can put a hearth in the treehouse

[steep tusk]

100 Nails.
Always.
Without contest.

[buoyant nexus]

I guess Im save for now then^^

[compact heath]

my first 4 bronze always make 80 nails, i usually don't even get much more bronze than that before I sail out, even before the axe or anything

[dire hamlet]

until you hit a rock or tree, even if it's when fighting another enemey

[steep tusk]

Bronze for me is always Cultivator -> Axe -> Whatever.

[frail cave]

yea mining and chopping makes iirc 50 meters of noise 😅

[steep tusk]

Iron is Nails -> Stone Cutter -> Whatever.

[compact heath]

iron is other way aroynd for me and bronze is boat, axe+cultivator

[midnight solar]

is it normal to find dvergr rogue in the middle of the water?

[compact heath]

has happened to me too

[frail cave]

that dvergr rogue is part of the submerged structure

[compact heath]

they are just going for a swim

[buoyant nexus]

is this the way how the game tells you not to build there or why such a massive dmg sponge low respawn thing?

[compact heath]

sometimes you don't see a nearby base because they are from the atlantis dvergr tribe or something xd

[dire hamlet]

is it normal for dvergr (yellow mage) to be attacked by a bonemaw ? xD

[frail cave]

what weapon are you using? stone golems are pretty manageable with a mace (or a pickaxe, though maces are slightly better and allow for more convenient use of a shield)

[dire hamlet]

just pure luck or unluck depending on your preferances ^^
but all golems seem to have the same general area they respawn in so if you find an area where no golem shows up then no golem has a spawn area in that general area

[frail cave]

(frostner may be a mace, but it sucks against golems since they're immune to both frost and spirit)

[dire hamlet]

spears are also suprisingly effective against golems despite them being resistant against pierce

[frail cave]

the "general area" golems spawn in is simply the mountain biome

[dire hamlet]

yea but even then they have preset spawn areas about the size of a workbench (from my own experience)

some areas are completly void of golems

i have a mountain where i do golem hunting that has 4 areas where golems keeps respawning as long as i run back and fourth

[frail cave]

i've been fighting that myth for so long

[dire hamlet]

so why is it that i keep finding golems in that general area and not in between?

[frail cave]

they abide by the same spawning mechanics as all other randomly spawning monsters.
maybe their large size somewhat limits the amount of valid spots they can spawn in compared to other enemies, though i'm not even sure about that, seen some spawn on tiny bits of flat ground on the side of a mountain.
then again, mountains are like 40% terrain that's too steep for enemies to spawn on and then 20% terrain that's blocked by huge rocks, so enemies in general don't have very many valid spawn locations

[bright hollow]

what do i use them for?

[steep tusk]

Boat.

[dire hamlet]

some of the area in between is just plain flat mountain (yes it's high enough for them to spawn)

[bright hollow]

oh , yeah. will need new one after leeches took down the old one

[frail cave]

wish i knew how exactly the game randomly selects spawn locations on each attempt to know if there maybe is some provable pattern to it, because seeing a monster respawn in vaguely the same location, especially in a biome that doesn't even have a lot of valid terrain, is not really proof.

[dire hamlet]

same goes with trolls, if you build your base near or inside a black forest, some of those bases will be completly free of trolls while others will attract a troll every now and then

[frail cave]

that is 100% up to luck, not the area

it's the nature of RNG

[dire hamlet]

well i am going to stick to my own observation and experience until i get proven wrong by the game or hard evidence ^^

[frail cave]

like the devs? datamines like on the wiki? ESP mods that show chunks' spawn timers and specifications?

[dire hamlet]

can you provide that to me? 🙂

[frail cave]

the first, probably next time i see smiffe online.
the second, well the wiki has a page dedicated to it, https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones
the third, ...well, dms, it's a mod. one sec

it also can't be literal invisible spawners because 1. valheim's invisible spawners are very precise about their respawn location and don't involve a spawn chance and 2. those can be deleted with forcedelete and located/marked with find. find spawner_stonegolem will only locate and mark the stone golems spawners next to ruined log cabins, which are one-time spawners, like almost all invisible spawners in the game.

and going through the prefab list, there is no other stone golem spawner, you can even leave the ID part of forcedelete 50 empty and scrub a whole mountain clean, stone golems, wolves, drakes and stuff will still spawn

(i did that once and then spent 3 actual hours on timescale 4 flying around the mountain, marking every single stone golem that spawned on the map and then running killall and skiptime 5000 to get the next wave of spawn attempts as quickly as possible lemme find that screenshot)

[halcyon yoke]

Guys, I think this is the place, but will Valheim come to PS5? I finally updated my console and chose to make the switch to get access to the exclusives I've wanted to play, and I was excited to play Valheim with no problems, but it's not on PS5 and websites are giving conflicting answers

Completely unrelated to the subject at hand, so feel free to ignore. I'm just not sure where to put this

[dire hamlet]

so in theory then you can pull a golem out of it's spawn zone into another one and drop it into a pit just for another one to spawn in the same zone again making it possible for inifnite golems in a pit?

[frail cave]

yes

[dire hamlet]

well that pattern actually reassembles my map from marked serpents (when i still spent hours hunting them) i admit i was wrong and thank you for the proof 🙂

[frail cave]

you're welcome, sorry if i came off a bit mean 😅 i'm getting worse at communicating...

[dire hamlet]

no worries - i know the feeling 😅

and i was being abit stubborn

[frail cave]

i also know that feeling ^^"

[dire hamlet]

but i have read through all the given information and can't deny it

the general area's i experience must just be better spawn area's

(where spawn attempts doesn't fail)

[frail cave]

yea, mountains are very varied

mistlands probably too

[dire hamlet]

yea i seem to experience the "fixed spawn" for any big mob like seeker soldiers, golems, aborminations etc.

but it must just their size

[fierce sierra]

hi guys, how do i spawn / place yule tree in dev commands to reach 18 comfort?

[frail cave]

entering debugmode and then pressing B outside of the console to toggle nocost or simply entering nocost directly without debugmode temporarily unlocks all recipes and allows you to place them without the required ingredients

(both commands require devcommands to be enabled)

[harsh sequoia]

if playing on your system, rather than a server, you can set your system time to the periods seasonal items are enabled to gain access that way too.

[frank bobcat]

whats a stone portal

[true steeple]

A portal made with ashlands materials that can teleport all items

[steep tusk]

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villian.

[frank bobcat]

oh alr

[narrow swan]

highest dmg arrows against yagluth?

[steep tusk]

Frost is pretty much the uncontested BiS Arrow forever after you acquire it.

Hopefully Deep North changes that 🤷‍♂️

[honest cairn]

what shall we do after getting the copper gear ?

[fluid tendon]

I was wondering if there is a roadmap anywhere of coming updates, and if the game will be fully releasing with the deep north update?

[steep tusk]

Kill Elder?

[honest cairn]

thats smart tsym :O

the crow didnt tell us a thing after the copper what a stupid crow 😦

[steep tusk]

Your entire purpose for being in Valheim is to kill the bosses that have a headstone at the starting location.

[narrow swan]

carapace better for targets that take pierce right, just frost best for yag?

[steep tusk]

Nope. Frost just outright better.

[narrow swan]

really? the dmg dif is big though

[subtle parrot]

Slow effect is the major selling point, but they also do good damage

[narrow swan]

ahh i see, if im just looknig for raw dmg carapace is better no?

[honest cairn]

btw how can we destroy these thingies ? i tried putting a workbench and destroy them with the hammer but it didnt work

[narrow swan]

and in terms of fighting yag, raw dmg wise is frost just better? idc about the slows

[steep tusk]

Frost total damage = 78
Carapace total damage = 72

[subtle parrot]

Either beat them down or you need a stonecutter bench

[narrow swan]

does this mean all elemental arrows are the same ? just frost bis cause of slow?

[steep tusk]

Take out the slow entirely.
Frost wins on damage alone.

Purely from damage Frost is BiS.
Then you add the Slow, and it is more BiS.

[narrow swan]

just a bit confused cause isnt posion arrow 26 pierce + 52 poison? so its the same dmg as frost no?

[steep tusk]

Yes, but Poison doesn't stack.
It just refreshes.
So the 52 over time would only be a higher DPS if you were shooting once every 5 seconds.

Frost is 26 + 52 all up front.

[narrow swan]

oo

i see tyty

[fringe sundial]

Poison mechanic isn't great for players, but a pain from enemies.

[narrow swan]

doies ashlands introduce new arrowS?

[steep tusk]

The only arrow that beats Frost is the Charred (Ashlands).

But now you're talking about a trade of +4 total damage vs. Slow.
And many, if not most, people will take Slow over 4 damage.
So Frost remains BiS.

[narrow swan]

oo okok

[steep tusk]

78 Damage + Slow vs. 82 Damage

[narrow swan]

and im guessing frost arrows probs bis in ashlands cause of ele bonus as well

[steep tusk]

It's genuinely wrong how overpowered the Frost Arrow is 🤷‍♂️

[narrow swan]

ahahah

[celest folio]

Hello, I'm new to the game, and I don't understand what the bar next to my character is, which appears when I take damage

[steep tusk]

Stagger meter.

[fringe sundial]

If you are talking about the small orange bar, it is the stagger bar. If that get 100%full, you will stagger.

[celest folio]

And what is it ?

[steep tusk]

If you have hit an enemy enough to where they start flailing helplessly and take double damage -- that is you staggering them.

Same mechanic applies to you.

[celest folio]

I am French, and I don't understand the translation of stagger, could you use a synonym?

[steep tusk]

Stun?

[celest folio]

Ahhhh

[steep tusk]

flailing helplessly

[celest folio]

thx

[steep tusk]

It is a balance against you just face-tanking hits endlessly and also creates the threshold for what attacks you can/cannot block.

[celest folio]

Oh okay

thx

[bright hollow]

If i get off my boat (with sails retracted) will it drift away and if it does how can i dock it?

[shut holly]

not much in ashlands is actually weak to frost, so, it starts to generally fall behind there. also against anything with frost resistance/immunity, there are better options. but in general, frost arrows are the bees knees

[bright hollow]

Also what affects parrying and blocking? I parried an elite draugr and after that when i tried blocking his hit he hit me for like 70 damage?

[fringe sundial]

It might drift a little if you still have it in motion, but if you are at a complete stop, it should stay in place.

[steep tusk]

You started me on this rabbit hole 😭

Stagger Meter is equal to 40% of Max Health (not Current, MAX)

The meter recovers at a rate of -20% per second.

[shut holly]

okay now tell me about the parrying mechanics again. 🙂 i like that story.

[fringe sundial]

Story time 📚

[steep tusk]

@celest folio if you actually read the READ ME, this is more than you ever wanted to know about blocking and staggering.
Other tabs are "fill it in yourself, auto-solve" tools. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zuJ2BACwMq-cZXrc7fJOw8hDGp5ROKeBVcf73IzRrlw/edit?gid=2132535813#gid=2132535813

[narrow swan]

ooo isee tyty

[celest folio]

Oh thank's you !!

[steep tusk]

Back in my day... 🧓

[shut holly]

🤔 hey, what was the first video game you played? like as a thing

[steep tusk]

Oh good Odin...

You're talking like... Stand-up arcade boxes man.

It wasn't pong, it was that game with the cityscape that you had to shoot missiles above to defend it?

Before they added color to video games.

[shut holly]

i miss arcades. :/

i miss earth before the internet. :\

internet screwed up a lot of things.

[lilac coyote]

Simpler times, for sure.

[celest folio]

@steep tuskDo you have a place with all your Google Sheets? I would be interested

[steep tusk]

#valheim-chat has them pinned ❤️ #PraiseScarlet.

You only get them from chopping pine trees - keep going 🙂

[tulip tartan]

holy bejeesus me and my friend were looking for ores in the black forest and some massive looking guy almost destroyed both of us

it was blueish, what was it

[mellow lodge]

TROLL

i have to all caps it. cuz he's big

he welcomes all new players to the black forest. eventually you'll love seeing those guys show up

[tulip tartan]

i don't

i really don't

[mellow lodge]

there's some fun things you can do with trolls, that can assist in skipping normal progression, or even just helping. Learning dodge-roll with them is key.

[dreamy dragon]

do ulvs respawn in the dungeons?

[honest cairn]

can we do something like a party we want to place the ward but my firends cant build or use anything cause of it

[shut holly]

deactivate it, have all your friends touch it, then reactivate it

[honest cairn]

OH

[tulip tartan]

bronze atgeir or bronze axe?

[bright hollow]

is there a certain amount which current shield cant block?

[cerulean acorn]

Hey. Im stuck in swamp with bronze tools and no resin to make a raft back home, which is across a ocean. my karve got destroyed by sea guy and im kinda stuck. Im guessing ill need to find meadows. what do i do?

wait i finally got an idea

ill die, put my stuff in chest before doing so and make karve back to chest

been searching for meadows near this dumb swamp for 30 mins now

[potent hinge]

comment je fais pour avec le chaudron niveau 2 et debloquer de nouvelle recette svp

how do I do it with the level 2 cauldron and unlock new recipes please

[buoyant peak]

Get carrots, turnips, dandelions and thistle

[bright hollow]

how good/bad is sneak?

[vagrant bobcat]

sneak?

[lilac coyote]

Sneak.

[vagrant bobcat]

oh.. i read it as a snake.. im too tired

[hollow mantle]

Snek?

[frail cave]

the skill or the action?
the action is great, even at level 0, sneaking is completely silent. your visibility (range at which enemies can see you) depends on the light level and the skill level, and is shown on the bar below your crosshair.
the skill is...imo not that important. it reduces stamina consumption of sneaking by 75% at level 100, which is amazing, but it's a very slow-levelling skill and the visibilty bonus isn't that huge.

[vagrant bobcat]

it's good mainly for ambush attacks with daggers.. otherwise i dont think it's that useful.. at least i never needed it too much

[hollow mantle]

To answer your question, sneaking is really good in a lot of situations and with certain weapons (or rather other weapons make it not as good). Gets even better when you have a certain armor set...

[vagrant bobcat]

u can level up sneak fast by walking against a wall in a troll cave with a troll inside

[frail cave]

(it's also not like in some other games where sneaking itself gives you a damage bonus, the damage bonus simply comes from an enemy not yet having seen you, whether you're sneaking or not.)

[hollow mantle]

It's definitely best for stuff like knives. But can be useful when hunting deer with a bow. They have super sharp hearing...

And (I never figured out if this is the case or not) can maybe smell you?

[frail cave]

smell is not real, no

there's a bit of a delay on detection checks, so sometimes enemies can spot or hear you when they technically shouldn't, if you just started sneaking or something

[mellow lodge]

considering there's no soap, we probably don't smell too good

[hollow mantle]

Right, I thought it probably wasn't, but I did find I seemed to sneak better 'down wind'. Did think it was probably entirely confirmation bias.

[mellow lodge]

woo. 41 chitin from this sailing expedition, and now i have a harpoon

operation 2 star boar farm is progressing

[hollow mantle]

Nice. I love those early stages of the game. Every little bit of progress feels huge.

[mellow lodge]

yeah. i played in the early days, pre-mistlands. But I came back after the mac port and discovered the game again 🙂

new world, new start.

[hollow mantle]

I'm totally new to the game (well, if 515 hours played can be counted as 'new').

[mellow lodge]

aha! I even managed to get enough extra chitin to get the razor to level 4. on the dot exactly

happy days

[lilac coyote]

Not remotely. That's about the same as me and I've been playing since launch.

[mellow lodge]

521.8 hours here. Granted, I take my time. no rush 🙂

[hollow mantle]

Haha, I have been playing since April.

[ashen olive]

any way to make improvements closer? for some reason this is the closest to the chopping board that I can place this

butchers table*

[fringe sundial]

Each upgrade has a "area". Check the wiki, but in general, think in 3D. Verticality is your friend with bench upgrades. I tend to hide most of mine in a impromptu basement.

[ashen olive]

ah ok

can't do that here as its on a floating platform

[fringe sundial]

Can't place a 2x2 floor above your hearth/fireplace?

Herb hanger just behind the fire near the back wall, rolling pins and pots/pans on each wall (all 3 within the fireplace), cutting board and mortar/pastel on each side just outside the fireplace.

[lilac coyote]

I've never heard it called the herb hanger before. I like that.

[fringe sundial]

I tend to be very literal in most descriptions I give.

[lilac coyote]

wonders which out of dandelion, thistle, turnip, mushroom and carrot is literally a herb

[hollow mantle]

A herb is "any seed-bearing plant that does not have a woody stem and dies down to the ground after flowering" - so dandelion for sure, thistle not sure, but I think so, turnip and carrot, no, mushroom, no.

[shut holly]

love this specificity. js.

[iron quiver]

The axes after the black metal one are also better at woodcutting right? Jotun Bane and the Berserkir axes

[frail cave]

yes, jotun bane may have lower slash damage, but its chop damage (the only damage type trees are vulnerable to, which is hidden from the tool tip) is still higher than that of the black metal axe

[hollow mantle]

See: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Axes

I’ve been using the red beserkir axes for tree chopping and they’re awesome! Especially when a tree falls on you…

(Actually not sure that makes any difference to chop, but it makes dispatching the mobs that turn up much easier)

[iron quiver]

also when i swing for trees does the simple dress -usage works? or the Ask light armor set -attack stamina?

[frail cave]

should be attack stamina, since the game can't tell whether you're hitting a tree or swinging at an enemy until after stamina is already consumed

(same goes for the wood cutting skill, it doesn't reduce stamina usage, but the axes skill does reduce stamina usage even when cutting trees)

[hollow mantle]

It is attack stamina (and, yes, I use Ask Set too 😁).

[harsh merlin]

Hey does anyone have comfy gizmo mod and if so, how do I rotate

[hollow mantle]

Probably best asked in #mods-discussion

[formal bridge]

Is it possible to somehow create a dungeon manually and place it in the created world?

[fringe sundial]

not without a lot of understanding of mods and/or possibly with devcommands.

[distant nova]

for some reason the smelters keep turning on and off?

not enough space or am i missing something?

[steep tusk]

Smoke has to have somewhere to go.

You're blocking the output at the top.

[distant nova]

oh i need to make a breach point back here ok

[steep tusk]

Aye.

[distant nova]

ill do a semi raised rampart off the back ty xD

[steep tusk]

#building-screenshots when you finish it!

[steel thorn]

honestly you might be fine with just removing the beams across the stacks

beams get in the way of smoke more than youd think. A raised section may not be necessary

[mellow lodge]

so i'm an idiot. 2 star boar. tamed. getting out of hole. before i can harpoon it, it books off faster than i can follow. i didn't think it was from a runestone, but i guess maybe? i know i found it not too far. how screwed am I? is it possible I can find it again?

[lilac coyote]

Not remotely screwed. It could still be around or you could find another one. That and it doesn't really matter that much.

[mellow lodge]

well, i have my heart set on that little guy. 🙂

but fair

found it!

[lilac coyote]

Yay!

[mellow lodge]

near a different runestone it turns out. Okay. I guess new plan. Fence it up right there, and tame the other dudes around it, and breed there

[steel thorn]

yeah they dont run too far, just have to wait for the red ! to go away, then they chill

[shut holly]

it will likely stay fairly close to where it spawned. in fact afaik, wild tames want to be near their spawn point enough that you might want to breed it there and harpoon a baby back to base >.>

[mellow lodge]

he's tame, so he's already green

[lilac coyote]

WIld tames, no, only those that spawned from a runestone.

[steel thorn]

gotcha, yeah never something to worry about. Except for lox... I tamed a lox before I could make a saddle and it kept running off deeper into the plains and not coming back. I had to run out and feed it repeatedly so it wouldnt die from squitos

[mellow lodge]

yeah, okay. so now i got a crappy fence around him, and another wild boar. now i'm going to also tame that one, and start making some boar babies over here too. man. this got crazy

the other wild boar needs to chill the heck out

[honest cairn]

what sacrifice does the elder want?

[fringe sundial]

ancient seeds for the elder.

Does anyone know a fix for Valheim crashing on world load. Haven't played the game for months so dont know if this is known issue or not.

[compact heath]

wait for the program to respond, first time it can take long like 5-10 mins or something, just wait don't close it (first time or a new world since Ashlands will take much longer then previously, have to be patient)

[proud hinge]

Is there a video guide on how to farm chickens / chicken eggs, I feel like what I’m doing is super slow and doesn’t yield much of anything. @ me in reply

yes if crossplay is enabled

[white briar]

can anyone help get me game to run? im on windows 11 and everytime i try loading a world (both vulkan and not) the game crashes on the loading screen. i have tried verifying game files, re-installing, both engine types and none of it has worked. do i just have to use the last stable build before ashlands or is there a fix?

[compact heath]

how long did you wait? If a new world or a world that hasn't been played on before the Ashlands update came out is loaded, it can take 5-10 minutes, you have to click "wait for the program to respond" and just wait and be patient

[white briar]

im stupid THANK YOU SO MUCH LMAO

[compact heath]

you're very welcome, glad I could help, don't be so harsh on yourself 🙂

this long load only happens the first time, should be okay next time you run it

[white briar]

okii tyyy

[autumn wraith]

Hello everyone, I recently saw a problem. I have a normal computer, but Valheim still only runs at 70 fps with drops of up to 40, the graphics settings do not change anything. I didn't set a limit on FPS.

Even turning everything off in the settings still drops to 40

[ashen spoke]

HI guys, My friend's game is really laggy and the symbol for losing connection keeps popping up when he is on the server. He didn't have this problem until a month ago and it only affects him. it isn't a server thing and he doesn't have problems with other online games. any advice?

[vagrant bobcat]

Whats ur cpu/gpu/ram

And when it drops to 40

[fringe sundial]

If they are a PC user, you could ask around in the mods discussion section https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 about mods that might help (I think it's called "better networking"). Otherwise ask around in the https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 help section with the understanding that they may ask for your friends pc/console specs and how the server is being run(on a PC or through a 3rd party, ect.)

[unique stump]

how to take screenshots without hud?

[lilac coyote]

Ctrl-F3

[tawdry urchin]

I’m stuck on this page no option anywhere and I have hit enter and escape and it will not even let me back out,. I have to hard stop it.

The computer is locked up so I couldn’t screenshot sorry for the picture I know it’s not ideal

And I hit f9 to free up my mouse and now I’m stuck on this one.

Mouse moves on black screen but then goes back to this

I’m sorry for spamming as well I just really want to play.

[vagrant bobcat]

Did you try to turn it off and on?

The whole laptop

Or i dont rly understand the exact issue

[tawdry urchin]

Yes I have restarted the application a few times

[vagrant bobcat]

Only application?

[tawdry urchin]

Well the whole pc

[vagrant bobcat]

Hmm.. and whats the issue exactly

[tawdry urchin]

It’s just not giving me the option to hit enter after typing in the password to join not only others but my own world as well.

[vagrant bobcat]

Weird

[tawdry urchin]

It has me stuck on the enter password page n I hit enter and escape and nothing I have to hard stop and anytime I have to do that I restart the computer anyways. I hate hard stopping.

[vagrant bobcat]

Did u try to reinstall whole valheim?

[tawdry urchin]

I did but it said something about restrictions but I go to Microsoft who I have the game through and I am the only one on my family stuff with no restrictions. I just go in a circle.

[vagrant bobcat]

[tawdry urchin]

I have tried all the conventional methods. I am in a course for game design, so I tried everything I could think of. I think there is definitely a bug.

[vagrant bobcat]

No idea tbh.. never had this issue... looks like a buggy app

[tawdry urchin]

Yeah, that’s the thing not too sure if it’s Microsoft because they’re always messing up or if it’s the game valheim itself where it’s newish on Microsoft

I don’t even know who to report it to.

Thank u for trying

[vagrant bobcat]

Oh np.. 😅

Hope someone else can help ya

[tawdry urchin]

Me too I’m up for anything at this point.

Even if someone can just report it for me to whoever, I would be very grateful 🥹

[unique stump]

thx

[sudden galleon]

well it still on sale on steam,probably not the help you need, your not the first who got weird problem with microsoft version of the game

if you decide to get it from steam be sure to delete evrything not just uninstaling

[mild copper]

@sullen valve All cores are used when running anything on your computer, however (one guy said) some pc runs valheim better if only one is active, making the threads (virtual cores) be "forced" to function on that one (something like that)

[lapis terrace]

Valheim uses 2 cores (4 threads) by default

[mild copper]

I dunno how it works for sure, But answering here because the guy asked in valheim-chat

[lapis terrace]

ah nice nice

[steep tusk]

Combat thread.
Farming thread.
Exploration thread.
Coffee thread.

👍

[sudden galleon]

thx for your work 🫶

[mild copper]

But I was told to change to a single core, which worsened so I turned back to default...

[lapis terrace]

well that shouldn't even work since those threads are hard-coded

since windows will use whatever core it can and want

while hardcoding it can optimize performance by alot

[mild copper]

hehehe mine have 6, so maybe allowing only 2 would improve it, then?

[steep tusk]

Not how that works.

[lapis terrace]

since we know how long things a task will take, while windows just "oh, this thread happen to be available atm"

[turbid helm]

is there a way to stop mistlands enemies from spawning in the meadows at night?

[lapis terrace]

no. it don't work like that (anymore)

[steep tusk]

Kill Queen.

Don't kill Queen.

[lapis terrace]

and hardcoding in more than 2 cores, will make us force people to use specific processor models

[turbid helm]

i did and thats when they started spawning

[mild copper]

that's after killing the queen, not the other way around

[steep tusk]

Killing Fader should turn them off then.
Just like Queen turned off the Fulings.

[mild copper]

Yesterday I was surprised by two charred archers that almost killed me in my base...

[turbid helm]

ah yes after i killed the queen

[steep tusk]

Also who isn't sleeping at night?????

[sudden galleon]

i have beated all the boss and i still get fuling somtime during the night

[mild copper]

when I'm building, all time is precious

[steep tusk]

Lies.

Light is precious to building.
Skip the darkness.

[mild copper]

not when then sunrise is blinding your sight

[willow raft]

Come to the dark side, we have cookies.

[turbid helm]

i was out..

[steep tusk]

Yes, and we make sure we are BACK before sunset.

[sudden galleon]

hmmmm cookies 🤤 tempting

[steep tusk]

Because of the evil man who gives out candy for a ride in the van.

[willow raft]

Homemade chocolat chip.

[sudden galleon]

[willow raft]

I don't know if the batch we have is with or without orange zest, this time I wasn't involved in the making of.

[heavy marten]

How do you activate hildirs quests?

[true steeple]

Find her and use the map table in her camp

[buoyant peak]

By launching valheim and playing in any world

[heavy marten]

Oh ok. I was just interacting with her, and not getting any map markers so I was confused

[willow raft]

Hello Smiffe's cat or little kid.

[lapis terrace]

[lilac coyote]

Mini Smiffe was the real hacker all along.

[iron quiver]

Tamed asksvins eat somked puffs right? I threw some in there and they havent made a new asksvin for quite a while now

[hollow mantle]

Killing the Queen doesn’t stop Fuling night spawns.

[steep tusk]

🤷‍♂️
All Fuling spawns have been replaced by Seekers for me. Could just be my RNG.

[hollow mantle]

As always.

[buoyant peak]

They eat any ashlands veggie

[north yoke]

Do we have to remake a new world if we made one before the release of Ashlands ?

[subtle parrot]

No

Unless you already explored the ashlands placeholder biome preupdate

[north yoke]

Okay thanks

[hollow crown]

I uploaded my world file to a valheim seed finder and the worlds do not match, is this just standard crapshoot (i.e. not guaranteed to be accurate) or did I do something wrong perhaps?

[steep tusk]

Is your world from before Ashlands?

[hollow crown]

No I don't think it is, I came back specifically for the ashlands update

[steep tusk]

Did you start a brand new world in this update?

[hollow crown]

The world was generated pretty much 1 month ago exactly, I am unsure of which update that is specifically forgive me 😛 I have not updated the game.

Within that time I mean.

[steep tusk]

Then I got nothing 🤷‍♂️

[hollow crown]

We have mods installed, but not during world gen and no mods we have should affect world gen, but can they still affect how the world generates as you explore?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion 🤷‍♂️

[hollow crown]

Forgive me, I had uploaded the incorrect world file to the seed finder, but for some reason I did it 6 times incorrectly before asking. That's on me and my stupid hed.

[steep tusk]

[spring radish]

as a solo player who is currently in the bronze age, is it worth upgrading equipment such as the bronze pickaxe, mace and buckler, as well as the troll armour ready for the swamp?

[steep tusk]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

I, personally, do spend the time upgrading.

[spring radish]

ok

its just that I remember pickaxe durability was a small issue in the swamp

and the draugr hit very hard

[dire hamlet]

better ask yourself how fast you want to complete the game 🙂

[steep tusk]

• Don't get hit.
• Antler pick works in Swamp if you don't want the Bronze one.
  😉😁

[dire hamlet]

take your time and upgrade everything or just make the items and continue to the next biome as fast as possible

[spring radish]

thanks for the help 🙂

[steep tusk]

I skip the Mace though.

Just Buclker + Pick for me with fully upgraded Wood Club.

[dire hamlet]

i skip antler and broze pick

[fossil gate]

lord help my tiny little pixelated legs

[rigid matrix]

Thats nothing

[fossil gate]

I might build a house there and put a tp

[steep tusk]

[mellow lodge]

yeah, that is positively close by.

[fringe sundial]

No portals, this is you training your running/walking skill level 😉

[fossil gate]

this game is a hell of a grindfest 😭

took 3 hours of mining for bronze stuff

[sudden galleon]

3 hour darn how many nood you mine ?

[fossil gate]

I spent half the time dying to things and looking for copper

there was only 2 copper veins in the entire forest and stuff kept destroying my cart 😦

[steep tusk]

Did you expect something else from a survival builder?

[mellow lodge]

i think for copper/tin you want to do the bare minimum really. don't bother with the armor. troll set is fine. get to iron asap

[steep tusk]

Eh.

[mellow lodge]

maybe just bronze buckler and mace?

[steep tusk]

I like my bronze armor.

[mellow lodge]

i skipped it this run through. but i'm starting to add to some iron pieces to replace the troll gear

and trying to figure out where root pieces might be make sense to make, or fenrir as i consider the mountains

[frank bobcat]

are necks tameable?

[steep tusk]

Unfortunately, no.

[mellow lodge]

mirroring real life that lizards don't appear to be tameable 🙂

[sudden galleon]

have you just mined the top node ?

[fossil gate]

theres more underneath?

[sudden galleon]

yup

[fossil gate]

is there a place which is the safest to build your house btw?

I kinda wanna build it on top of a steep plateau but I haven't really seen any yet

just wondering if different biomes have different raids too

[sudden galleon]

the raid is where ever the player base is

[fossil gate]

do different biomes have different raids though are they all the same

[sudden galleon]

same killing biome boss unlock diferent raid

ah i mist read it

yea each biome have dif raid

[frank bobcat]

i see, i tried finding some mod that allows such thing, but the only one seems to be outdated sadly

[hot birch]

will ashlands be in our world?

[sudden galleon]

ashland is in all the world

[hot birch]

even if the world is made before it came out?

[sudden galleon]

yes if you dint explor the ashland place holder biom befor it should generate no problem

[hot birch]

ok thank you

[valid sandal]

Guys, my friend tries to open a map in Valheim and his game crashes.
We've already tried creating a new character and another map.
The problem is not the hardware either because we also tested it through GeForce Now and it still crashes when opening the map

Does anyone know what it could be?

[sudden galleon]

is it the first world since ashland ?

[valid sandal]

Yeah

[sudden galleon]

let it cook it take somtime, next time click on wait it can take somthing like 10 min

[valid sandal]

Okay, I'll tell him to try

[frank bobcat]

try clicking to wait for valheim to respond, if it continues then your friend might just not be able to run valheim, still, there's some things u can do to help the game performance which envolve editing some of the game's files

[valid sandal]

I don't think it's the PC because the error also occurs on GeForce Now, but I'll ask him to click on 'wait' and see if that helps heheh

Thanks guys

[sudden galleon]

give us update 🙂

[shut holly]

oh yeah, what are those?

[novel helm]

could someone tell me what is that

[lilac coyote]

A screenshot that's too dark..

[novel helm]

or youre blind

bc i can see clearly

[lilac coyote]

Well, bang goes that help you might have gotten.

[dire hamlet]

i am with Derek - too dark for me to see what it is too

the blueish glow from the cabin could be a wraith from a tiny bit of swamp maybe? but the withish in front i can't make out what that is from that distance in the dark

[novel helm]

better

[sudden galleon]

thats some way to ask for help ....

[shut holly]

run up to it and hit it

[novel helm]

why

[dire hamlet]

so that would be a player built cabin with a crystal axe on an item stand with a spawned in golem in front

[shut holly]

thats how i find out what things are.

[novel helm]

but this is single player

[dire hamlet]

that right there isn't naturaly generated

if naturaly generated then it's modded and not vanilla

[novel helm]

i dont think its modded either unless my brother forgot to turn the mods off

[valid sandal]

It Works, thanks

[sudden galleon]

👍 have fun then

[frank bobcat]

i dont know what they are, i do know its something that has to do with unity

which u add 2 lines of code on some file, what are those lines and which file it is, i do not know cuz i havent done it myself but ive seen many videos of ppl explaining it, and ppl saying it worked, so i imagine it would work for anyone else

[reef steeple]

if i tame a wolf and put it on stay he will be in my base and protect it? and also walk a bit around to eat and all that?

he won't stay in one place and not move at all right?

[honest cairn]

guys the server keep freezing is there a way to solve it or is it just an inernet problem?

[iron quiver]

if you guys are hosting in yourself by joining each other you could try letting someone else host the same world

[tulip tartan]

are trolls weak to fire?

[honest cairn]

if you dont mind me askin how can we do that

[lilac coyote]

They're only weak to pierce. Their heads especially so.

[tulip tartan]

okay good to know

[hollow mantle]

They’re not immune to fire.

[hollow mantle]

Yes. But they won’t eat food unless you leave some for them or they attack something.

[celest folio]

Hello (I use Google translate, so the words chosen may not be exact).

I have a few questions:
What is the difference between the defensive value and the blocking value of a shield/tower shield

[cyan talon]

hello i got a problem when i use cheats which i never used before i get bunch of errors can this be cause of mods or something

[tulip tartan]

well yeah but i wanted to know since i have way more regular arrows than fire arrows

[sudden galleon]

can you SS the eror ?

[tulip tartan]

ive been using fire arrows to kill em but since theyre weak to pierce i think i'll use bronzehead arrows instead

[cyan talon]

@sudden galleon

[tulip tartan]

also what is eitr

[subtle parrot]

It's a bit of a waste of bronze tbh, but if you're willing to be mine it they're not too bad. But I would stick with fire arrows until you get to the mountains.

[subtle parrot]

It's something you get in the mistlands to use magic

[tulip tartan]

i cant find a good source of feathers though

and i have nothing better to do with bronze

[willow badge]

I left my ship a little bit away from base. Today I loaded back into the world, and it's gone without a trace, including its load

(in the meadows, so couldn't have been destroyed, it wasn't in range to be loaded either)

[lilac coyote]

Birds mostly.

[subtle parrot]

If it's storming you can find birds on the ground and snipe them with wooden arrows (which don't need feathers) and you also get some from chopping trees down occasionally

[willow badge]

what do I do now? I lost days worth of progress

just in case it was destroyed, shouldn't the crates still be there?

[subtle parrot]

That's a bit tricky, but I'd say if you can try to load the save from the other day in the manage saves menu, look for the one that has the largest file size from that day and restore it and see if it comes back. Not sure otherwise.

[tulip tartan]

what's the next easiest area after the black forest?

[subtle parrot]

The biome progression from BF is to go to swamps

But it's not easy per se

[willow badge]

probably the only option, the most recent one is when I started the previous session...

this is insanely frustrating

thanks for your reply though

[subtle parrot]

I can sympathize with that, when it first got ported to xbox I lost several days worth of progress

[celest folio]

Hello (I use Google translate, so the words chosen may not be exact).

I have a few questions:
What is the difference between the defensive(or maybe armor) value and the blocking value of a shield/tower shield

[steep tusk]

Block Armor vs. Block Force?

[celest folio]

I put my game in English and I tell you

[steep tusk]

Block Armor = Actually matters in terms of blocking damage. (And determines what you can block/parry)

Block Force = Just the knockback intensity of your shield when blocking.

[celest folio]

So if I have a block armor of 30, and I take a 50 damage hit, I only end up taking 20?

[steep tusk]

Not that simple.

There's a whole formula for it.

[shut holly]

story time! i like this story.

[steep tusk]

No 😛

[shut holly]

lolll

[frail cave]

feel kinda stuck dont feel like playing.. i have max upgraded flametal armor,shield lvl 2 electric sword etc, what do i do now in ashlands i conquered 3 charred fortresses

[iron quiver]

You just gotta find the save file for the map in the folders, should be some detailed instructions if you google it, then have him open it and start the server

[steep tusk]

It's a survival builder.
If you're done surviving, "what do I do now" is pretty clear 😉

[lilac coyote]

Kill the boss?

[frail cave]

im scawed

[shut holly]

find fire sword. get axes. all 3 axes. build an impressive fort base. ride lizards around. kill fader.

[shut holly]

or you could just go back to meadows and retire as a carrot farmer

[lilac coyote]

I don't know why people say this

[lunar dragon]

I haven't played in a while and I wanna maybe build a basecamp in a big swamp I found.
Will a normal stakewall withstand the giant swamp monster thing?
Or should I rather build a treehouse or something?

[shut holly]

personal opinion...if you're gonna build in swamps, giant treehouse complex is the way to do it.

[willow badge]

update, it looks like cloud saves messed up, the "latest" save is still at the point before any sailing happened

[celest folio]

@steep tuskwhat is the parry bonus?

[steep tusk]

Blocking uses your Block Armor.

Parrying uses (Block Armor * Parry Bonus)

It's all in the sheet I linked you the other day.

[celest folio]

Yes, I look at the formula and there is a "parry bonus" value, and I don't understand what it corresponds to

[steep tusk]

Sec.

Green = Number used when blocking to determine if the block succeeds/fails and then how much damage is mitigated.

Yellow = Knockback intensity when blocking.

Red = When performing a parry (specifically timed block), this is the multiplier given to your Block Armor (green) for that instance.

Bronze Buckler normal block is 22 Block Armor.

Bronze Buckler parry is 22 * 2.5 = 55 Block Armor.

So if you are just holding the block button down, you will have 22 Block Armor.

But if you are timing your blocks specifically to parry attacks, you have 55 Block Armor (meaning you take less damage and can actually block things you normally wouldn't be able to).

[celest folio]

Okay, Thanks, but then in the given formula, if I simply block without parré, Pb = 0?

[steep tusk]

Pb = 1

[celest folio]

Thx !

[steep tusk]

The other tabs do all the math for you by the way.

I spent a couple days doing that reformat to make it easier for people 😦

[celest folio]

Believe me I use it, but I just wanted to understand everything!

[iron quiver]

Will the vines fully grow over this wall? still havent really figured out how they like to grow

[hardy veldt]

when i swap weapons it always puts the other one on my back is there a setting or mod that fixes this?

[tulip tartan]

should i use a bronze atgeir over my bronze axe?

[true steeple]

By default the previous weapon should be unequipped, as items can’t be stored on your back while holding something

[true steeple]

Yes, unless fighting something pierce resistant

[tulip tartan]

ah okay, ive been using bronze axe and tower shield since i like playing a tanky build

i was thinking of making a bone tower shield but i noticed i could also make an atgeir

[true steeple]

Bone tower shield is great, there’s nothing wrong with using the axe and tower shield if you want to

[tulip tartan]

yeah, but i'll try out the atgeir too and see if it's good

i have like axes 33 so itll take a while to get its damage up if it's worthy

and polearms 0😭

[true steeple]

With an atgeir I’d recommend a stamina diet. The secondary attack can be used defensively and to stagger enemies (6x stagger multiplier) so you don’t need to block or parry unless you’re fighting a ranged enemy.

If you decide to use a stamina diet you should make a buckler for your axe instead of the tower shield, as bucklers are best for stamina diets because of their incredibly high parry armor and the high stamina cost of parrying

[iron quiver]

atgeir is good for dispatching a higher number of enemies or utilizing its range against the trolls

a one hander+shield will be tanker in the end though

[true steeple]

It’s range isn’t what makes it so op against trolls, the 6x stagger on the secondary and the troll’s pierce weakness means a secondary will almost always stagger a troll in one hit with a high enough skill

[uncut moss]

just died on my first attempt at the queen. i am back in the citadel and there is no grave so seems to be no way to get the gear back. not seeing any info online about this. help?

[true steeple]

If you’re absolutely sure your grave isn’t there, load a backup with the manage saves button on the character select screen

[uncut moss]

when i stand where the skull is (and where i recall dying) there is no grave. i died when the queen came careening back down the second staircase and vomited in my face. i was backed against the wall surrounded by seekers. i guess i could try going to the next floor and see what's up

[true steeple]

The grave should be exactly where you died

[uncut moss]

nope, legit the grave is gone, not at a higher level either. got shot through the wall i guess

this is so bad. i've done so much non-combat stuff leading up to this fight and the last backup was ages ago. will there be a recent autosave i could use?

i mean not ages ago. but i really don't want to go hunt another 20 anglerfish, traverse a whole plains island for black metal, process another 300 ore and mine several dvergr bridges top-down again.

[uncut moss]

sorted it out, no worries

[lime drum]

Character got deleted... looking for solutions to lost map info... didn't make a map table to record yet

[potent hinge]

Is it normal that I can't find any swamp ghosts?
I'm looking for more at night ?

[true steeple]

Wraiths only spawn at night or in certain structures

[fringe sundial]

You might be able to roll back to a prior save, if you can see the character's name in your "manage saves" section.

[shut holly]

i recently found a couple during the day. but night is definitely better

[mellow lodge]

is walking around swamp at night basically the only reasonable way to get chains?

[true steeple]

They would’ve been spawned by the structures. They don’t randomly spawn during the day

[true steeple]

Yes, unless you get lucky in crypts

[shut holly]

that's what i was thinkin

[shut holly]

yeah tbh i get a lot more chain from crypts than ghost hunting

[true steeple]

I did on my first playthrough but have spent a lot of time in a swamp at night recently so I can have enough

[mellow lodge]

i have to explore a new swamp. i currently have found only 3 crypts in 3 swamps so far

[late shell]

I am going to have an aneurysm trying to a damn Cultist Trophy.. 14 caverns in..

[mellow lodge]

Mastiff, let me make you angry by telling you that i got a cultist trophy from my first cultist kill.

[late shell]

Son of a bitch

[mellow lodge]

i've killed 3 cultists total, in a single frost cave lol

[true steeple]

I‘be found a few cultist trophies but never made fenris armor because I rarely find more than 5 fenris hair in each cave

[late shell]

I have plenty of hair at this point lol

[mellow lodge]

41 fenris hair from that cave! But i haven't gotten silver yet, or beat Bonemass for that matter

[shut holly]

fenris set worth the rng grind. this is absolute fact.

[late shell]

You can shoot the fenris hair curtains to get a bit more

Does the helm do anything but give you the extra 3% move speed?

[shut holly]

set bonus

[true steeple]

I know what to look for, it just doesn’t generate because of my luck. Hopefully in my next playthrough I can find a slightly less below-average cave

[late shell]

Idrc about the increased unarmed dmg

[shut holly]

fire resist is also handy

plus, hood is vital for that.. je ne sais quoi

[fringe sundial]

Fen set+ask cape tail wind=🚀

[shut holly]

have you tried running downhill in a storm yet???

[late shell]

Guess I’m sailing to another mountain

[fringe sundial]

Especially when compared to the (up to something like) 40% reduction with heavy armor and tower shield.

[fringe sundial]

I haven't gotten to ashlands since live, but the cape alone made the heavy armor feel like running naked.

[mellow lodge]

good luck. i'm having the same kinda bad luck with swamps right now

[shut holly]

the downhill part is only fun because you can randomly launch and keel yourself. but storm winds increase speed. somuchfun.

[true steeple]

35% with heavy armor, tower shield and a weapon, but serpent shield is 5% faster and flametal tower shield is 10% faster
This is why I only equip a tower shield when I need to if I’m using one

[mighty tendon]

a safer cheaper option for me is to spam a ton of flint spears or bronze arrows and snipe the troll's heads with a finewood bow

[true steeple]

Using at atgeir against a troll is safe, the secondary can often stagger them in one hit

[mellow lodge]

just 1 hit kill with an abyssal dagger secondary attack from sneak 🙂 it's the most fun thing i do right now lol

big dumb trolls!

[fringe sundial]

Flint knife also works reasonably well if you can get a sneak hit for first hit and spam basic attack after.

[honest cairn]

guys we just killed the elder and he gave us the keys to the swamp dungeons

but we cant really survive a min there everything one shots us and we barely can kill em and everything does poison

[sullen valve]

why am i exposed?

[willow badge]

Too many windows

It checks to the side as well

[true steeple]

Make a fermenter for poison resistance mead, and start farming carrots if you haven’t already

[willow badge]

Make sure you're rested before entering. Build furniture to raise the comfort in your base (rug, table, chair, banner, etc.)

bow is your friend when you first hit swamps. if you can, stand outside the swamp at the edge so you're not wet, and shoot everything you can see. if it manages to get close, then switch to melee. parry the draugr. once theres nothing to shoot at, then go in. take poison resist mead.

How do I make a community server??

[true steeple]

If hosting in-game, check the ‘community server’ box on world select.
If using a dedicated server, check the server manual pdf in the same folder as the .bat file, it shows how to configure everything you could possibly change

[celest folio]

What are the numbers in yellow in parentheses next to each damage?

[true steeple]

That’s the minimum and maximum random damage per hit, determined by your skills.

[celest folio]

So maximum skill I would be at 28?

[shut holly]

nono, at your current skill lvl, max damage is 28

[true steeple]

No. Right now, any of your primary attack hits will do between 16 and 28 damage but with higher skills it will be closer to the 40 shown on the left

[celest folio]

Oh okayy! Thx and skills have a max level? for example 100?

[shut holly]

the orange number is max damage at max skill

[shut holly]

yes

[celest folio]

Oh okay, 100 is max level, i remember

[celest folio]

Okay thank you so much ! But how did you know? Like is it marked somewhere in the game?

[shut holly]

not explicitly stated in game. but with the same weapon as your skill increases, the yellow numbers will go up

[celest folio]

Okay, that suddenly seems logical. Thanks a lot

And so it's really random? Or does the type of enemy I type interfere with this number?

[fossil wedge]

I recently created a valheim dedicated server and when I entered my password it didn’t work does anyone know what is wrong?

[true steeple]

The damage is chosen randomly between the minimum and maximum. Enemy type doesn’t affect it.

[celest folio]

However, there are enemies who have resistance to certain types of damage no ?

[true steeple]

Yes, those resistances multiply the number after it’s selected randomly

[celest folio]

Oh okay thx!

I'm having issues doing crossplay with a friend who's on Xbox. I've downloaded the game on Steam and Xbox app on PC and have the same issue where I'm on version 218.19 but he's stuck on the PTB version 218.17 and I can't find anything online about how to get him upgraded. We can't play together because of the version difference. He's already turned off the insider hub thing that gives him the PTB version so I'm at a loss now. Has anyone experienced this?

[honest cairn]

how can we protect the houses of the rain?

[tight wolf]

Hey guys, I recently got back into valheim was wondering if you made a server before the ashelands update, would the old ashelands update if you’ve never explored it?

[shut holly]

correct. it may take a few minutes when you first load the world to update, and previously marked but unexplored boss locations may not be accurate. but if you didn't explore ashlands it'll just generate that content the first time you load after updating.

[tight wolf]

Sweet! Me and my brother are on day 400 something and I didn’t want to start a new server just for the ashelands. Thanks for your help!

[shut holly]

oh fun! yeap you're in for a ride! have you killed queen already?

[tight wolf]

Nope, I’m preparing to fight yagluth pretty soon. I’ve only ventured into the mistlands a little and boy that place is gorgeous

[shut holly]

aha yeah it really is. but much more fun after fighting yag. also, after yag, visit haldor 😉

[tight wolf]

Sounds good! I got heaps of coins so I’m prepared to buy anything 😂

[steel thorn]

im about to kill yag too i just havent found the altar yet ._.

want to get to mistlands so bad

[craggy kestrel]

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way to make the bubble from the Staff of Protection smaller or less obscuring against the crosshair.

[shut holly]

i don't know of any. it makes aiming at range really difficult 😒

[craggy kestrel]

sadly yes😕

[rancid marsh]

Sounds like a good suggestion

[placid parrot]

um...

why is the sky so......blue?

I saved, logged out and then logged back in, back to normal

[dire hamlet]

@late stirrup this is all i have left from that world (a screenshot i took from Hearth and Home version of the game)

as you see the mountain is sorrounding another biome completly and i would love to find that island again

[late stirrup]

aaaah I've had that happen too once !

[dire hamlet]

and i can't find that mountain shape on the mastermap 😦

but maybe i just need glasses 😂

[late stirrup]

I think I found it ! 🙂

[dire hamlet]

yea that might be it!

i will have to remember that - i really want to revisit that place again at some point, thank you very much!

it's missing the little pointy nose part but that is abit of different elevation?

[late stirrup]

Possibly !

I might have that island on my current seed, I'm going to go check out 😛

[dire hamlet]

D:

... looks like it is in my world and i have been so close that i possibly have been able to see the mountain in the distance when i sailed to the ashlands

[late stirrup]

Welp it would be where my ashlands are for me 😛

[dire hamlet]

ohh

close for me but loks like i have it there on my world

i have sailed down the straight between the 2 islands to the right of it

[late stirrup]

Oooh two biomes too ! That's a really good place to setup a farm 😄

[dire hamlet]

thank you so much - i am going to visit that place very soon!

[late stirrup]

You're welcome ahah

[late stirrup]

Be sure to share screenshots of your soon to be wonderful farm or settlement 😛

[dire hamlet]

[mystic spoke]

Hi

I joined a public server and lost my items when I entered a portal, is there still any way to retrieve my items? Thank you

[late stirrup]

Roll back your character save 🙂

Start game -> manage saves -> characters btw 😄

[mystic spoke]

sorry I am a noob. How do I go from here?

the character I lost is "BFJM"

is it expand then restore backup?

[mystic spoke]

thank you so much! I already got it! ♥
