[late stirrup]

Pretty much !
Select a save that has a timecode where you know you had the stuff and restore it 🙂

[mystic spoke]

thank you very much!

[gritty mountain]

have anyone succeeded in building a bridge? looks harder than I thought, on deeper water I may not be able to do it

[late stirrup]

I wouldn't try too hard until you get core wood tbh ^^

[dire hamlet]

depending on the distance he might need to wait until iron beams

[silk cairn]

Q and E to change snapping points helps a lot. If the water gets too deep you can push a cart in and stand inside it and still be able to build/raise ground. Just based on the pic the water doesn't look too deep, but yeah core/iron wood is a must for taller bridges

[late stirrup]

Well that cart trick is new to me damn ahah !

[gritty mountain]

I just arrived to black forest, found a great place for a new base, and want to move my stash 🙂
I did half the bridge, very ugly, but working... now the other side

[late stirrup]

Use the keybinds Concept posted, it'll help out a lot !

Also use core wood for the support then 😄

[gritty mountain]

now, raise the terrain is a much better idea... though I would like a beautiful bridge

[late stirrup]

Bridges are love, bridges are life !

[gritty mountain]

done, half bridge, half raised terrain XD

[small nest]

mates, will it be movable so i can transport it to my base through black forest? (around 700m)

[late stirrup]

Not sure I understand your question ?

If you mean through portal, you'll need a special portal that is unlocked waaaaay later in the game.

So your only two vanilla options are probably either boat travel or change the difficulty slidder to allow for ore portaling 🙂

[dire hamlet]

fill a card half or 1/3 and you should be able to transport it that way

[wide crescent]

I think the blood in the game is white for me? is there a setting for that or smth?

[small nest]

who's blood? different creatures have different blood colors, greylings have yellow for example

if humans blood is white, then i cant help you ive never seen color bugs in the game

[small nest]

does forge have any upgrades in silver age?

[true steeple]

You get them all in black forest and swamp

[small nest]

finally no upgrades to get, my house is full of these, thanks

[steep tusk]

Workbench has an upgrade from the silver age 😛

[small nest]

at least it was an easy one, did it in couple of minutes. my island is lucky ive got 5 biomes on it (swamps were crappy tho)

these mountains provided me with such a good amount of silver and stone golem trophy

[timber marsh]

how do i disable the hud for screenshots

[sullen valve]

if we break the tanninng rack, do we get the materials used to make it back?

[true steeple]

All build pieces except sharp stakes drop all materials when destroyed by players and enemies
(Why wouldn’t they?)

[fringe sundial]

I believe it is ctrl+f3

[small nest]

fun fact, you can get some of the tanning rack materials from tanning racks in fuling villages

[maiden verge]

You can get all of those materials including flint from them.

[sullen valve]

is a kiln worth making? im unsure why we would want to turn wood into coal

[maiden verge]

It is a necessity to progress. You need a kiln to make coal. Then you need a smelter to smelt ore into bars. The smelter needs the coal to smelt the ore.

[late stirrup]

Up until Swamp at least, after that you can setup an afk farm for coal pretty easily ! 🙂

[maiden verge]

Assumed new player that wouldn't know how to do that. Was trying to keep it simple and not too many spoilers.

[late stirrup]

I didn't say how to do it 😛

But yeah I gotcha ! I just wanted to wand that potential afk farm around so someone interested in it might just try to figure it out himself 😄

[hasty ferry]

Guys im trying to play some valheim and when i try to load into the world it keeps crashing , happens everytime i cant play PLEASE HELPPP ME

[true steeple]

If it stops responding you just need to wait a few minutes. Dont click anything while it’s loading.
Once it finishes, it wont happen again on that world

[fossil gate]

guys im instanely far from home, I forgot to remember what I put as my tag on the portal is there any way to check without going all the way back?

[late stirrup]

You could spawn in in a new character I guess

Also as a space spreadsheet guy ... spreadsheet 😛

[fossil gate]

I guess past me knew I would forget, I searched tag = home2 in google

its facing the wrong way 😭

it spawned me through the wall

if I destroy it will it give me the sertling cores back

[late stirrup]

My dude ... Whatever you're having, I want some too.

[late stirrup]

Yes 🙂

[fossil gate]

thank god

[late stirrup]

Also actual pro-tip : always have an unlinked portal at your base without any tag or a name you'll easily remember like "BackUp" or "Emergency" etc

(or multiple backup portals, definetly multiple)

[true steeple]

All build pieces except sharp stakes drop all materials when destroyed

[fossil gate]

I hope sertling cores are easier to get in future... they're absolutely awful to look for

[delicate crest]

has anyone encountered an issue when any event just doesn't start
i build a bench and campfire in mistlands near dverger outpost and can't see any event on "much more" raid modifier. last time i had 5 events in a row near some Yggdrasil roots, they were like non-stop near bench only
OK, trying 3 "base structures" according to wiki

[fossil gate]

oh god

I'm fighting the elder and I've ran out of arrows.

nvm that was kinda easy with a sword

[late stirrup]

Yes, you'll find more in the swamps 😉

I dropped so many that I recycled many a full inventory worth of them in my current playthrough in fact ahah

[fossil gate]

thank god

[late stirrup]

Don't worry some items will replace surtling cores as ridiculous farming grinds 😂
:cough: Iron :cough:

[fossil gate]

is the snowy area for later on in the game?

[true steeple]

Mountains are the 4th biome

[fossil gate]

I hope I dont have to use a boat

i have uhh nightmares from the last time I did

[hardy veldt]

can i bring a cart with me on a karve?

[small nest]

if you can fit it in, yea

later in the next biome youll get a bigger boat, you can load easily cart on it

[hardy veldt]

yeah we were able to put 4 carts in it in my last playthrough

[small nest]

tetris player i see

[fossil gate]

the swamp is a lie, a conspiracy made up by big iron for iron profits

[true steeple]

You’re too close to spawn. Try sailing

[fossil gate]

I've got ptsd from last time

[true steeple]

Serpents are balanced for black forest equipment

[fossil gate]

also it costs so much deer hide

[true steeple]

Go hunting then

[fossil gate]

I'll keep going along my island but I'll go looking if I dont find anything

[true steeple]

Most spawn islands are too small for swamps

[hardy veldt]

same i was in a storm then my karve flipped

[fossil gate]

me and my friends had a raft and it got toppled by a sea serpent because we were travelling at night

we didn't know they existed either

[hardy veldt]

what boat did you have?

[fossil gate]

the tiny raft

[hardy veldt]

i usually wait until karve

[true steeple]

You should kill at least one serpent before the 3rd boss because serpent meat and serpent stew are very good early game health food

[fossil gate]

is this it?

catastrophy

[late stirrup]

That indeed was it.

[true steeple]

Those big dead trees are swamp

[true steeple]

You need to start farming carrots for better food, and make a fermenter for poison resistance mead before you enter again

[fossil gate]

okie I'm gonna get my stuff back and make a teleporter there first

[late stirrup]

Jam is a solid choice tho 😄
But yeah carrots !

[true steeple]

Use queens jam, deer stew and carrot soup or minced meat sauce

[steep tusk]

Is this for first Swamp entering?

[true steeple]

Yes

[steep tusk]

Stew, Sauce, and Soup.

Always recommend HHS for entering new biomes until you have biome-level food.

[fossil gate]

I dont think I'll be able to get my stuff back ngl

[true steeple]

Both are good, it depends on playstyle

[true steeple]

Eat stamina food and try to avoid damage by jumping and rolling

[fossil gate]

now theres a troll destroying my house 👍

[steep tusk]

Standard Valheim experience.

[fossil gate]

I ate a rock to the face after taking a ton of damage from snow

[hardy veldt]

istg if this falls out

ofc its thunderstorming

[mellow lodge]

it seems pretty much a rule: if you're sailing, chances of fog and storms increase 10x. also, wind knows which way you want to go, and it will NOT be helpful.

[fossil gate]

you cant even outrun these...

[hardy veldt]

pretty much it

[mellow lodge]

you can outrun them. just use bursts of sprint. eventually they get tired of following you. the key is to maximize the amount of time they don't make an attack

[fossil gate]

not when stam regen is as slow as it is

[true steeple]

Are you rested?

[fossil gate]

no

[mellow lodge]

that's why i say bursts of sprint. not using it constantly. and yeah, where's yoru Rested buff? always be rested

[lilac coyote]

It definitely doesn't.

[true steeple]

You should always be rested whenever possible

[mellow lodge]

and where's your food?

oh, i see it

[fossil gate]

i have food eaten I have 100 stamina but Its almost always at 0.

[mellow lodge]

Rested is the key

[true steeple]

You need to rest, it increases stamina and health regeneration

[fossil gate]

i cant

[true steeple]

You should’ve rested before it ran out

[fossil gate]

well I couldnt

[true steeple]

You can build furniture near your bed to increase comfort, so the rested buff lasts longer

[grand glen]

hello i have a big problem, ever since the ashlands dropped, my game has been constantly crashing upon starting up on any of my worlds, it came to a point where i uninstalledthe game, i really wanna see what i can do cus valheim is one of my favourite games to play and now i cant.

[true steeple]

You need to wait a few minutes when it stops responding because the world is updating for ashlands. Once it’s updated, the load speeds will be normal again.

[grand glen]

It crashes my game and closes th

It happens when i create a new world too

So is my game cooked forever?

[true steeple]

Probably not, but I don’t know how to fix it. This has never happened to me and I haven’t seen someone talk about it here before.

[real nebula]

Is it an actual crash, or does Windows pop up with a window saying that it is not responding?

Those are very different things

[fossil gate]

I'll probably end up making a house but I haven't found a spot for a permanent base yet which is defendable so when i do I'll make a castle on a hill and be more comfortable building a nicer house

[true steeple]

You can build with stone when you get iron from the swamp

[mellow lodge]

every base is defendable by digging a simple moat around it. usually a good first base is a meadow area on the coast, so you can sail out to different places. obvioulsy there's other things that can make it better

[fossil gate]

does it have to be a water moat?

[mellow lodge]

no. just a steep pit around your area. mobs can't jump or climb out, and usually they won't end up in it unless there's some parts that lead into it

[fossil gate]

I kinda think it will be cool to have a castle wall and then a moat just next to it I'll probably end up doing that

but I also think it will be cool to have a castle on a hill

[mellow lodge]

it doesn't even have to be that deep. just keep your buildings 8 meters from the edge, as trolls can reach far

[fossil gate]

how do you access the base in a moat

[mellow lodge]

it doesn't have to be super wide. you can just jump. or make a bridge that mobs can't path over.

i have a few "bridges" with the 1x2 poles. the mobs can't walk over it

with an easy moat around your area, the only things you have to worry about eventually are flyers

[fossil gate]

if I put farms outside the moat do they kill them

[mellow lodge]

yes.

[fossil gate]

the base is way too small at the moment I might move now

legit had to put all my forge and other crafting stuff outside

[mellow lodge]

you will want a large compound for your first real base

[fossil gate]

I think this might work for a location

I do like how the trench is automatically dropped to that level when you mine at it

[mellow lodge]

it had to be raining of course, but here's an idea of how much space my current base has.

you can't see all of it, but it's moated all the way around on all sides except for the ocean

and the farm is in the middle, and boar tower on the right, main building on the left, and it goes farther down

[deft drum]

hello, am trying to run a dedicated modded server but i keep getting incombatable ( running r2modman ) i launched both server and the game from r2modman

[mellow lodge]

and ocean side, it's raised earth, so nothing can come in that way

[real nebula]

#mods-issues please, this channel is for vanilla game issues

[deft drum]

❤️

[mellow lodge]

and just make sure you put workbenches or camfires in regular intervals to prevent spawns everywhere inside your moat

[fossil gate]

I cant really dig the moat because water appears in it

[mellow lodge]

like i said, it doesn't have to be very deep. some water at some parts is fine

[fossil gate]

also you reckon this is wide and deep enough? I forgot the image 💀

[mellow lodge]

yes, but you should make the side steeper

i think this video is helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Abw7Kjtfw

[fossil gate]

okie I might just move my tp over here so I can get back and forth much faster, I dont have the budget for another 2 tps

[mellow lodge]

tps?

[fossil gate]

tbh now I have more gear and its only 4 I probably could

[fossil gate]

portals

[mellow lodge]

dude, you can just jump over that

[fossil gate]

no, I dont have a forge nearby to repair my pickaxe

and Its easier to move everything over

[mellow lodge]

yes. if you think you've found a good main base location, you should move all your crafting and stuff over

or use a portal

[fossil gate]

its not really flat ish but its a large area and next to sea

[mellow lodge]

this picture gives you more of an idea of size?

[fossil gate]

that looks nice

it will be thinner but longer I think

[mellow lodge]

my base is fugly 🙂

i'm just trying to give you a sense of the size and moat.

i started with a meadows farm area. those farms that have ruined buildings and berry bushes

[fossil gate]

nah it looks nice I like the building on the right

[mellow lodge]

thanks. the building on the right is recent. i knocked down the previous building, and did two stories with a basement, and wraparound deck

and currently i'm putting all my portals on the deck

i really like that i started with a farm with 6 raspberry bushes. nice to have a small and steady supply right there

It would've been even better if it had one of those small mushroom outhouses

But there are a couple mushroom patches nearby

woo, sailing iron back to my base and the wind is in my favor

for now

[fossil gate]

is it possible to build a secure base in the swamp? i might just build a base near there

[mellow lodge]

are fish spawn points static? i just saw some puffer fish, and i saw them there before

[fossil gate]

theres actually a massive stone tower ruin right outside so I think it might be possible

[mellow lodge]

the only secure base in a swamp, is to find those giant indestuctable trees, and build way up top.

[fossil gate]

and its almost complete too its barely ruined

[true steeple]

I don’t know how fish despawn, they could be the same pufferfishes

[mellow lodge]

i would strongly recommend not trying to build a swamp base. also. i don't think you can farm in the swamp? not sure. But it's way harder. you need to have a base for easy farming

a swamp base can be a fine secondary base later

[fossil gate]

I was thinking just having a temporary one there for smelting

[mellow lodge]

i mean, it's a strategy, some use. ie, bring enough stuff to setup a forge and smelter and just do that there.... but what if the swamp is a dud, and there's not much iron?

waste of effort at that point

my typical strategy is create a spot just outside of the swamp where i will sail back from. it will end up where i dump all the iron from the swamp as i do each crypt

[fossil gate]

fair enough its just the swamp I have is nowhere near my new base location I might look for one across the sea

[mellow lodge]

you have to embrace the life at sea

[shut holly]

depends. if your gonna cart it home, it could be worth the cores and stone to set up a smelter. ore stacks the same, but is much heavier

[mellow lodge]

that's a good point. if it's not a far run, the cart is a good option. i use the cart generally to go from crypt -> my beachhead where I sail from

my base is kinda on a thin spot of the continent. so it's a short cart haul back from the other side. and i can sail out on each coast

wish me luck. i'm going to attempt to use a river shortcut to save some time. i've mapped it, but never sailed it

hope it's deep enough...

and crap, that's a big rock.

[shut holly]

rivers are fun.

[frail cave]

if the durability goes 0 or under on ur weapon does it disappear? or can u just not use it until u repair it

[shut holly]

just needs repair. the exception is a torch, those can't be repaired.

[tulip tartan]

How do boats work

I'm trying to make a karve to get to the elder faster but I have no idea how to drive one

[thorn spire]

you need to interact with the steering oar.

once you've built it, you can sit in the stern and do it.

[tulip tartan]

Also are serpents common

I'm a little afraid of them killing me

[thorn spire]

serpents will only come out at night or during a heavy rainstorm.

[tulip tartan]

Okay thanks

[thorn spire]

your Karve will probably outrun them unless you're in a dead calm.

If you're afraid, just do coasting until you get the hang of it (stick close to shore)

[mellow lodge]

okay, so 2 boars with space from other boars will make babies. what if there are 2 tamed wolves near the boars, does that prevent baby making? I'm planning out a wolf breeder near my boar breeder

[dawn pond]

Nearby wolves don't prevent boars from breeding and vice-versa

[mellow lodge]

okay, thanks! So i can basicaly duplicate the 2 pens up in the tower for the wolves, and have baby wolves drop down also

[dawn pond]

I've got a 2 breeder boars 2m away from 2 breeder wolves

Yep exactly!

[mellow lodge]

perfect. that will make this WAY easier, than building from scratch in another spot

[hardy veldt]

do i need anything else for swamp?

dont need poison resist its a waist i believe

[honest cairn]

battleaxe or abyssal razor?

[shut holly]

yeah my breeding tower has 3 wolves, 3 boars, and 2 chickens

[shut holly]

razor

[hardy veldt]

i thought battleaxe was in the mountains

[shut holly]

pretty sure first battleaxe is swamps

[thorn spire]

it is. Crystal battleaxe is in mountain

[thorn spire]

yhou're going to want the bronze pickaxe. going to be forever getting iron with antler

[hardy veldt]

i hate getting bronze and plus i can easily repair antler outside crypt

[shut holly]

you can also just carry a few antler picks. durability sucks, but it works

[hardy veldt]

first upgrade will be iron pic

[shut holly]

if i want to clear a crypt before coming out, i carry an antler or two as well as bronze anyway

[hardy veldt]

i forgot bonfire mats i gotta turn back around now lol

will my lvl 3 club kill draugrs?

[mellow lodge]

what's the damage on it?

i mean, it will, but will it kill them fast enough is the question

[mellow lodge]

Do you think it will work with the wolves that close to the boars? i'm guessing yes

[dawn pond]

Yep should work fine 👌

[mellow lodge]

now to actually tame some wolves lol

oh, i guess i gotta open up the pen underneath still, then cover up the drop to prevent bats from being annoying

[honest cairn]

guys what the best gear for the swamp? cause i dont really feel like im doing damage to the swamp enemies + i get two shot or one shot

my current gear btw + im working on making the posion res food

[shut holly]

upgrade your gear

and crafting stations. and grow carrots.

[vagrant bobcat]

Upgrade ur troll armor to lvl 3.. u can make lvl 3 bronze helmet too if u want

Also u need better food... u have weird weapon choice too

Id either go bronze mace+ buckler or atgeir

Also upgrade ur bow and pickaxe for mining

[shut holly]

well, razor should be okay. but i would use with a buckler

[vagrant bobcat]

And make poison meads for fighting oozes and those water snakes.. forgot the english name

[shut holly]

leech

[mellow lodge]

i'm the odd man out in the swamps it seems, i never both with poison resist until Bonemass. But I play super careful

staghammer makes for killing leeches with 0 risk

[sullen valve]

should i destroy spawners or can you farm them or something?

[mellow lodge]

spawners can be turned into farms, with some tricks. but it depends on the stage of the game

[sullen valve]

very early, only killed first boss. i could just ignore the spawner and not go near it until im able to turn it into a farm?

[mellow lodge]

there are plenty of spawners in the world. when you're at the point of wanting to do that, you can always find a new one and setup a portal

[fossil gate]

I think I cooked

[mellow lodge]

that's a great looking building!

[fossil gate]

ty

[mellow lodge]

question for those who know wolf taming: i have a wolf in a hole being tamed. when he's tamed, i can tell him to follow me and walk him back to my breeder tower? he's not going to pull a runestone boar and book it for his spawn point?

[hollow mantle]

I would just not bother with a spawn farm (well, there's one type I would bother with). You will quickly amass all the resources you need that the early game spawn farms might give you.

[hollow mantle]

They will follow you. They're the only tamable that will, in fact.

[mellow lodge]

thanks. i guess the only thing i need to worry about is him attacking other creatures on the way back to my base?

[sullen valve]

ive killed the first boss and preparing to kill the 2nd boss. i heard that troll armor is better than bronze armor. as this is the case, whats the purpose of mining tin and copper now?

[shut holly]

yep just pet it. then pet it again when you close its stall

[mellow lodge]

great

[mellow lodge]

troll armor is light armor that doesn't impact movement. bronze armor has more armor stat, but will slow you down. it comes down to preference

[hollow mantle]

Yep, but even then they will come back to you, unless you get too far away. At which point they return, I think, to the mountain. But they remain tame.

[mellow lodge]

good to know. it's just meadows back to my base, so should be fine

[hollow mantle]

Just get them off the mountain ASAP, because drakes and wild wolves can kill them. But, yeah, once in meadows, nothing there will stand much of a chance. Just don't let them get overwhelmed.

[mellow lodge]

yep, to get him in the first place i had him chase me completely off the mountain in the nearby meadow where i had the pit setup

[hollow mantle]

Nice.

[mellow lodge]

though i'm close enough to the mountain that i can hear drakes from here, and when i was clearing trees one time they came and investigated. whoops

[hollow mantle]

Ha, yeah, the borders between biomes can be treacherous.

[buoyant nexus]

can I protect my stone fort by placing crystal walls behind em against Ghosts?

[fossil gate]

I think I might just wait until I have stone and build a keep as my main base

[mellow lodge]

i haven't bothered using stone that much. personal preference. but i haven't tried for a lot of pretty builds

[frank bobcat]

whats the instance limit that starts lagging on multiplayer?

[mellow lodge]

wolf 1 has been tamed!! woooo

[lilac coyote]

Depends on so much.

[mellow lodge]

or should i say: a-wooooooo

[shut holly]

i was just thinkin that lollll

soon you'll be hearing wolf pups in your sleep

[mellow lodge]

as long as i can massacre them for meat and fur that's cool. lol

[shut holly]

next you need 2stars 🙂

[mellow lodge]

that will be a process. right now a 2 star would destroy me. not even funny

[shut holly]

i started out using a pit with breakable floor to drop them in. now i just make a small stone pen witha jump-up at the far side. let them chase me in and drop a stone wall to lock them in. if you're quick and cunning enough they don't even hit you.

i also put up a few jump-ups around/between trap and mountain to regen stam

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i just want some breathing room. i'll get there. but my gear isn't up to it

[shut holly]

im gonna try it shortly with iron helm and root. got a stack of serpent stew for the occasion

[mellow lodge]

lol he just wiped out a greyling. haha. this is great

[mellow lodge]

go for it!

i mean, if you can breed a gang of 2stars, it would make early game intersting

[shut holly]

the 2stars are amazziinnggg. i have a few around my wall just inside plains, and every morning i have a delivery of black metal

[mellow lodge]

w00t. okay, wolf 1 is successfully up in his breeding pen. looking good

[sudden galleon]

no inside photo, this is just a tease 😏

[shut holly]

don't worry the inside is even better

[fossil gate]

is it possbile for me to get the materials back from the fermenter, I can't destroy it anymore because I removed my forge.

[dark fog]

Wack it with an axe

[true steeple]

Break it with a weapon

[fossil gate]

okie

[hardy veldt]

is this good for a first house i actually "tried" on?

[mellow lodge]

it looks cute. what bosses have you killed? is it troll proof?

[hardy veldt]

eikthyr and elder

[mellow lodge]

right. so assuming you've killed a troll, they could possibly raid you. just have a plan for that. i use a moat and fight them if i feel like it, or ignore them if i don't

[hardy veldt]

i probably should build a mote my whole base got destroyed by a troll raid and i spend 1 hour rebuilding my entire base

[shut holly]

ohh i like it. much nicer than my first. or second. or third...
...or fourth...
😬

[hardy veldt]

probably my 11th home

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i would hate to put all that effort into making a nice looking base, and have it smashed

[hardy veldt]

do i need poison res for bonemass fight?

[mellow lodge]

poison res meads yes

[hardy veldt]

maybe i could just get the root helm and chest

right when you told me i need to build a mote xd

[mellow lodge]

i haven't beaten bonemass with this guy yet. but i'm going to use my maxxed iron helm + poison mead. i want all the armor i can get

[hardy veldt]

i despise metal armor

i feel too slow

[mellow lodge]

metal helm doesn't impact speed

[hardy veldt]

very expensive too

@mellow lodge im gonna fight him on 27 armor hopefully i dont miss a dodge💀 😂

20 iron is outrageous

it might be time to move i have no room to put all my kitchen things should i build another house right next to mine or fully move?

[mellow lodge]

lol. i'm rocking 58 armor with only 1 heavy armor piece currently

[hardy veldt]

fully upgraded everything?

i usually dont even bother to change armor until mountains

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i have an upgrade compulsion. max iron helm, max (i think) root harnesh, max iron pants, max troll cape

[hardy veldt]

but i need to wear root chest for bonemass because im doing melee this time

normally i just fight bonemass with my bow

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i've been doing way more melee this run. it's way faster than bows

[hardy veldt]

i just get frost arrows and then it does 70 per hit

but yeah if i was using bows i would stay in troll armor until mountians where i switch to fenris hood+ legs and root chest

[mellow lodge]

i've got 41 fenris hairs, but i just tamed my second wolf to start getting some fur. can't make any fenris yet

[hardy veldt]

i got lucky with a wolf raid and got 50 fur

bow is actually overpowered if its high level i was at level 80 at the moder fight

[fossil gate]

praying this is good enough for a swamp base until I can repair the walls

[hardy veldt]

better than mine i usually just build a shed ontop of a crypt

get shot by an archer every now and then

[fossil gate]

it was in 1 piece right next to the swamp so I just set up a tp inside of it and everything

so when i die in 3 shots again I can get back easily

[hardy veldt]

you die in 3 shots with bronze armor?

[fossil gate]

yeah

[hardy veldt]

it takes me around 4 hits before i die and im in level 1 troll armor

[fossil gate]

Its not max level and I dont have poison stuff because I never farmed hives

[hardy veldt]

what food do you have eaten?

[shut holly]

omg go find beehives!

[fossil gate]

I've been running low so I've only had boar meat yellow mushrooms and jam

I've got some carrots so I'll start making food with it

[hardy veldt]

carrots are so good

[tulip tartan]

ive got 1 portal to a black forest base and another to a boat dock in the northeast, any advice on portal locations?

[steel thorn]

this is more than good enough. You dont even need the wall around it. I made a base in the same exact structure and added some wood roofing and accents to it which lasted me to the unlocking of the stone cutter.

The damaged stone is more than strong enough to last so long as you dont let trolls hit it.

and even in a worst case scenario, you can lose some individual bricks and still be fine

[hardy veldt]

my house is all cramped up lol i think its time to move

[woeful pagoda]

Question about game saves. I manually saved my game from the menu. A few minutes later I logged off and wanted to revert to my previous save. This save was nowhere in the manage saves menu. Does the game overwrite your in game manual saves when you log out? How can I make a save that I can back up to if I want to revert like 10 minutes back?

[fossil gate]

I do not see any bee hives at all, ive searched like 15 abandoned houses

[mellow lodge]

portal back to the Stones so you can change foresaken power whenever. a blank portal setup at your base so when you make a portal in a dicey situation it will automatically bind to that one for fast exit

[fossil gate]

zero survival instincts 😭

[hardy veldt]

is 30 armor enough to go to the plains i have some chores i need to do there

[shut holly]

probably not

[hardy veldt]

how much should i get?

i just need to be able to tank a hit from a tar blob

[shut holly]

ehm

[hardy veldt]

cause they like to sneak up on me

[shut holly]

mosquitoes hit for 90, so...good food and good armour are kindof important. poison mead for blobs.

[fossil gate]

aww hell nah theres not even 1 crypt in this swamp 😭

[hardy veldt]

i got root chest

so maybe 30 damage now?

[shut holly]

imean, you can give it a shot? i don't go into plains until i have mountain gear unless it's 3 steps in to swipe some berries or somethin

[fossil gate]

oh god time to learn sailing

[hardy veldt]

i was gonna collect needle arrows incase i get in a pickle

and maybe build a base there

[shut holly]

oh uh....well I'd generally consider going into plains undergeared asking to get yourself into a pickle... o.o

[hardy veldt]

probably, i probably just try not to get hit

[shut holly]

i say try it, but only with gear you're okay with not getting back for a while

[hardy veldt]

i have pretty easy to get armor i got troll everything but chest and i got backup troll armor and a bonfire at base

[tulip tartan]

yippee i finally finished my boat dock!

[hardy veldt]

anyone know a good endgame base to build thats for one player?

[shut holly]

make a run for it then, see how it goes!

[gray geode]

hey I'm trying to use the world generator website but it only goes to version 218.15

how do I fix that

[shut holly]

to view your world or preview different seeds?

[gray geode]

like to see where everything is

[fossil gate]

here we go

[hardy veldt]

hopefully you dont flip in a storm

like i did

[fossil gate]

for dealing with the serpents what do I do because last time we had no chance

[shut holly]

right, but for a world you already have generated in game?

[hardy veldt]

what level is your bow skill?

[steel thorn]

I don't think its too cramped, just can readjust the layout to free up room. Use the ladder stairs instead for example. And while it looks nice, removing the beams on the floor would not only give you slightly more room, it wuld also make the space look much roomier

[fossil gate]

14

[hardy veldt]

hightail it out of there

[steep tusk]

Skill level is irrelevant.

[gray geode]

yeah

actually whats the view full map cmd?

oh wait it doesn't work on multiplayer worlds

[hardy veldt]

anyone know a good endgame base for 1 player?

[steep tusk]

Like location?

[hardy veldt]

just like a guide

[shut holly]

ok, hit the upload button and load your world fwl and db files.

[steep tusk]

I don't understand what you're asking for beyond "4 walls and a roof"?

[hollow mantle]

Something I have learnt to do is to leave a 'spare' portal set up at base, and then whenever I go out exploring I will take a set of portal and workbench materials with me. That way I can quickly pop down the portal and return to base if I need to. For example, if evening is approaching and I wouldn't make i back to safety over land before night falls.

[hardy veldt]

like a guide to building a base to fit every upgrading station kitchen etc

[steep tusk]

I highly doubt there is one, given everyone builds differently.

[fossil gate]

wait what does the s button do on the karve because it spun the sail around and wont do it again

[steep tusk]

Some people build hyper compact, others spread out.

Some people do everything in one building, others have a building dedicated to each workbench type.

[steep tusk]

If W = Forward, S = ?

[fossil gate]

Backwards but it spun the sail around so that its in the wind too I think

[steep tusk]

That is just a visual thing.

[gray geode]

ok F5 isn't working to open the console

[fossil gate]

does first thing in the morning still spawn sea serpents because I dont wanna deal with them

[lusty panther]

What am I missing here? I want to build the spinning wheel to make Black Metal items but it doesn't show up. I've killed moder, I've built an artisan table, i've killed off several Fueling villages...

[shut holly]

you need to lauch the game with -console flag

[hollow mantle]

Serpents can spawn either at night or during a storm. If at night they will despawn on daybreak. If during the day (in a storm) they may hang around.

[fossil gate]

can I outrun them?

[hardy veldt]

not paddling but full sails yeah

[gray geode]

what does that mean

[fossil gate]

okay we pray I dont see anything until I find a swamp

[shut holly]

you using steam?

[gray geode]

yes

[hollow mantle]

What boat? And how far into the game are you?

[fossil gate]

karve just after elder

[hollow mantle]

Stay close to the coast (but not too close).

[shut holly]

ok, exit the game...in steam go to game properties. in "launch options" put -console, then launch the game

[tulip tartan]

what is the issue with that

[hollow mantle]

Nails?

[hollow mantle]

What do you mean?

[gray geode]

oh wait it doesn't work in multiplayer even if ur host right?

[lusty panther]

It doesn't even show up that I can build it. Not sure what researce I need to get to build it.

[tulip tartan]

why do you have to stay close to the coast

[shut holly]

console will, admin commands won't

[hardy veldt]

serpents only spean in Ocean biome

[tulip tartan]

yeah, but only at night or in storms right?

[fossil gate]

atm I cant stay by coast because its into the wind

[hollow mantle]

If you are near the coast you register as being in the biome of the land

[tulip tartan]

ive been trying to find a leviathan actually

[gray geode]

I just wanna view the world map, can I do that in my multiplayer server?

[tulip tartan]

i wanna get that harpoon

[fossil gate]

the wind is literally the opposite to where I wanna go 😦

[hardy veldt]

sounds about right

[hollow mantle]

Staying close to the coast is also wise in case you have to make a run for it.

[fossil gate]

if you go from ocean to near the coast does the serpent deagro?

[shut holly]

use valheim-map for that, just load your world's .fwl and .db files instead of only entering the seed

[hardy veldt]

it follows you to land then will deagro soon

[lusty panther]

Never mind - you "nailed" it! Needed to build iron nails

[hollow mantle]

The wind will work in your favour right the way up to like 10-o'clock and 2-o'clock, you don't need it directly behind you.

[fossil gate]

its directly in front of me 😭

[hollow mantle]

Have you heard of 'tacking'?

[fossil gate]

no

[hollow mantle]

It's a method of sailing into the wind. You kind of zigzag across it.

[fossil gate]

I've ended up trying to do that but its taking a while

i was typing while driving almost crashed

[hollow mantle]

yeah, it's not the fastest way to sail

[fossil gate]

ITS TURNING NIGHT ALREADY IM cooked

aww hell nah I turn around and the wind switches DIRECTLY WHERE I NEED TO GO

[frail cave]

Hey guys so how can I check which player killed what boss either through server commands or checking through logs which I don't know where it is if I am the admin that is

[hollow mantle]

Turn around and just GO!

[fossil gate]

😭 I'm tryna sail home

[hollow mantle]

🤞

[mellow lodge]

this is why i always sail with a portal. it gets near dark, you land at safest meadow or black forest and portal home for the night

[hardy veldt]

i built this home 1 hour ago now im already moving out lol

[fossil gate]

how do I paddle because I'm just sat at the coast rn

🙂

[hollow mantle]

put the 'speed' to one chevron

[fossil gate]

ty

[hardy veldt]

what should i look for while exploring for a new base?

[steep tusk]

Land 😉

[hardy veldt]

lands everywhere

[hollow mantle]

flat land

[steep tusk]

Plains land.

[hollow mantle]

lol. something tells me they're not ready for plains land

[hardy veldt]

probably not but atleast i wouldnt have to move again to grow barley and flax

this is nice right?

[hollow mantle]

Looks a little small.

[maiden verge]

If you are just going to set a portal for farming it will work as you can put work benches all around and guarantee no spawns on your island while you farm barley and flax. As a main base that is going to be too small.

2nd pictures is better island base for sure. More surface area to build.

[hardy veldt]

2nd picture big enough for a main base?

[hollow mantle]

With my group we're all the way to the Ashlands and we still have our base in the meadows. On (sort of) our starting land mass (there's a river that runs across it, so it's not strictly speaking the same island).

[honest cairn]

whats the best iron set or gear?

[hollow mantle]

Entirely depends on your playstyle.

[hardy veldt]

i should be fine as long as i dont get rocked by a tar pit guy

can a level 4 club kill a fuling decently paced?

or should i finally upgrade to iron mace

[tulip tartan]

do yall think i'm ready for the elder yet?

[hardy veldt]

more fire arrows could help

[tulip tartan]

thought about that

i'd rather not try to melee the elder, but i assumed 50 would be enough since i'm pretty accurate

[hardy veldt]

he usually takes me 70+ arrows

[steep tusk]

That inventory hurts to look at.

[hardy veldt]

lol

@tulip tartan how many bronze did you get lol

[hollow mantle]

Biome 1 gear against a biome 5 enemy… 🤔

What armour/shield do you have?

[hardy veldt]

iron buckler+ troll head shoulders and legs + root chest

guess its time for an upgrade

[hollow mantle]

Well, at least some of your armor is only 2 biomes behind…

[hardy veldt]

as long as i dont get stagered when i parry i think ill be alright

[hollow mantle]

I mean, if you perfect parry and/or never get hit, you can beat anything with anything, right?

What food?

[hardy veldt]

queens jam deer stew carrot soup

[hollow mantle]

Good luck.

[steep tusk]

Good lord....

[hardy veldt]

maybe i should farm up turnips first

[shut holly]

...coffee?

[tulip tartan]

a lot

[tulip tartan]

whats the issue

[steep tusk]

• 15/20 Cooked Deer in one slot at 1/20 wasting another instead of just 16/20
• Shirt -> Cape -> Hat -> Pants 😭 instead of Hat -> Cape -> Shirt -> Pants
• Randomly carrying Cultivator around
• 4 slots wasted on arrows...
• 9 different food slots?? (Ok -3 because forageables, but 6 slots wasted on food???)

[wintry socket]

what level do I get eitr cost reduction with blood magic?
I think I'm at 20 and my dead raiser still costs 100

[odd marlin]

I just got this game, I'm not feeling it. Any advice before I refund it?

[steep tusk]

No.

[shut holly]

imean, personally i think refunding it would be unwise, but I'm not you and no game is for everyone. it will absolutely take days to scratch the surface of what's there, it's not a clicker that you can fairly judge in an hour imho. but again, you are you, and it's about you, so there you are. 🤷‍♂️

[odd marlin]

Well that's honest and appreciated. I really like survival games. Hmm, I dunno I hear so much good... Maybe I'll watch games on twitch or something. Thanks.

[steel thorn]

on sale the game is like $10. Wouldn't refund

[odd marlin]

Good point... Maybe I should keep it for the long term. Hmm!

[shut holly]

fwiw, i have like 1500 hours in, haven't done half of what i want to yet, haven't finished the most recent boss, and the game itself isn't even done there's more coming...

[tulip tartan]

what does the ashlands boss do

[shut holly]

kill you

[graceful plover]

man what is the best way to find friends that play this game

i swear i havent met a soul who does

[hearty trout]

have friends lol

[graceful plover]

you got me there

[hearty trout]

i feel this

[lilac coyote]

Should be able to find some in #1024264966712340510

[graceful plover]

oh tru

[hearty trout]

i'll play with ya @graceful plover

[graceful plover]

i mean im down

[hearty trout]

are you newer?

[graceful plover]

yes and no, played awhile ago and got to the mountains, but havent played much in a good while

just was thinking about it and thought fuck it and decided to get on

[hearty trout]

Dm me

[tulip tartan]

well i dont have any other purpose for my inventory

[frail cave]

interesting indeed

[hardy veldt]

whats the mod called where i pickup everything near me with shift+ left click i cant find it?

[somber wharf]

If a friend has dedicated a spare pc to hosting a server is there a way to get the seed without asking them?

[native surge]

How do you guys deal with askvin?

I just get one shot by 1* lol

[shut holly]

roll

[shut holly]

imean that may sound "easy to say," but, for real, that's whats helped me the most. roll, kite, roll, hit, etc.

just don't keep rolling in the same direction, you'll roll yourself right into more mobs

[native quartz]

Can i get dvergr extractor without the dwarves try to kill me?

[shut holly]

if you're sneaky >.>

[shut holly]

if the crate is down stairs instead of up, ||make a cart nearby and take it inside, down the stairs, then ram the crates with it.||

[native quartz]

you evil.
i like it

[shut holly]

also works at any excavation site, because no stairs.

[dire hamlet]

or jung bring enough seekers and gjalls that they will eventually all get killed or break their own extractor

[shut holly]

🤔 i haven't tried going up, seems awkward.

[shut holly]

you can also ||drop eitr near the crates and wait for them to take enough damage, that works upstairs too. but i prefer the cart method.||

[dire hamlet]

pufferfish can also be used to poison the dvergr to death if there aren't any yellow mages ^^

[shut holly]

i like pufferfish. all sorts of fun uses for those buggers.

i put one on my throne, so i get a nice glowy effect when i sit in it. 😎

[dire hamlet]

ohh i never thought of that

but i did use 100 pufferfish for my greydwarf farm

[shut holly]

i put one at the bottom of my automatic hen factory

i could probably also put them around the lox pen wall about 6m high. 🤔

might try that

[dire hamlet]

hehe

[tulip tartan]

Am I prepared for the elder though? I have full level 2 bronze armor, a level 3 atgeir, and a level 3 finewood bow with 100 fire arrows

[shut holly]

ohhh. maybe I'll put a couple in the hot tub. a nice surprise for my friend.

[tulip tartan]

I'm also planning to use deer stew, queens jam, and carrots for food

[shut holly]

do you have walls around your base, at least 6-8m away from your house?

[shut holly]

carrot soup?

[tulip tartan]

I was starting on a moat

Well more of a empty donut

I dunno how to get water

[shut holly]

that'll work. you want one of the two before killing elder, imho.

[tulip tartan]

Also, what counts as a base

Cause I remember my black forest base got raided once

[shut holly]

water isn't necessary, and can make digging the moat out more difficult

[tulip tartan]

I assume it's the beds

[shut holly]

3 or more within 40m: beds, crafting benches, fires, torches, portals, smelters, fermenters, etc.

[tulip tartan]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i'm cooked

i got 2 beds and a portal at the minimum in every base

do i have to moat every base

[shut holly]

how many bases....? i usually only keep a couple places that qualify. for example, only one or two places need beds if you use portals. usually don't need a permanent workbench -break it unless you're actively building there. i rarely use torches.

[tulip tartan]

i have like 3

[shut holly]

what i put up lots of places is a bench to put up a portal, sometimes a wall around that portal. if i want something else like a campfire, i break the bench after

[tulip tartan]

if i get rid of the beds only 2 will qualify though

[shut holly]

2 isn't bad.

[tulip tartan]

since at 1 i have a spare workshop and forge

at main base i got everything

and my last one is just a boat dock so it's pretty bare

[shut holly]

and you don't need to moat/wall IF you're okay with the possibility of a raid there

[tulip tartan]

imo as long as the whole base isnt gone and the portal's intact i'll be fine

[shut holly]

do you need the workbench+forge there, or could you replace them with a portal to main base?

[tulip tartan]

unless it's my main base, i cant lose my baby

[tulip tartan]

it's not required, since i only have them there to be more convenient far from base

i can def take them out

i'd figured since i do a lot of mining it's better to have a forge and workshop at the site so i dont have to drop all my ores to refill my durabilities

[shut holly]

i would definitely recommend moat/wall at main base. i think it's a good practice to only keep one "rral"/main base for a while, it simplifies a lot

[tulip tartan]

yeahhh

i was also thinking of building a storage house since my chests are filling up real fast

i'll just leave some extra space around the main base for building

[shut holly]

well, that doesn't sound too bad. worst case, the raid breaks those benches and you rebuild them after

[tulip tartan]

wait if i make the moat too wide can monsters spawn in the moat

or like inside the no no zone

[shut holly]

you know the circle that shows on the ground while placing a workbench?

[tulip tartan]

oo yeah

[shut holly]

that's the area that spawns will be blocked if you put a bench or fire there.

[tulip tartan]

ohhh

good to know

[shut holly]

as long as you have a bench or fire here and there along your wall, and inside the wall is fully covered, then you should be fine

i use workbenches rather than fires usually, that way i can switch to placing a floor piece, and walk around inside the wall. at the bottom where it shows requirements to build, one of them is workbench. if i can walk everywhere inside the wall and it never says the workbench requirement isn't met, then i have full coverage. just remember you have to walk around, because placing a floor requires YOU to be in a bench area, not where you're aiming.

[tulip tartan]

good to know

i assumed it was where the build was

[shut holly]

anyway, yeah it sounds like you're almost ready for elder. just wanna be ready in case trolls come for tea. sometimes that happens right after

[hardy veldt]

can someone help me when i switch from one weapon to another it always sheathes the other one on my back and not just unequiping the weapon do i have to change a setting or something?

[shut holly]

do use carrot soup! deer stew is fine. and third food after that is whatever. jam, or boar jerky, or anything really. i usually mostly use fire arrows, and yes 100 is plenty.

[hardy veldt]

i know it used to unequip but now it dosent anymore

[shut holly]

this is a little confusing...not sure what you mean.
if you equip weapon 1, then hit 1 again, it should unequip it.
if you equip weapon 1, then sheath the weapon, it will go on your back and unsheathing is faster than equipping.
if you euip weapon 1 and then equip weapon 2, it skips sheathing/unequipping 1 but shows animation for equipping 2.

[hardy veldt]

like when i’m swapping directly from weapon 1 to weapon 2 it makes weapon 1 automatically go on my back instead of just unequipping into my inventory

[shut holly]

so wait... 1 goes on your back and ALSO equips 2? or 1 goes on your back and THEN it equips 2?

neither of those sound normal o.o ...but I'm curious. also how long has it been doing this? have you restarted the game since?

[hardy veldt]

like one goes on my back and one is also in my hand

i think for 1 or 2 days

[shut holly]

what happens if you equip 1, then equip 2, then sheath?

[hardy veldt]

it will sheathe 2 on my back then pull out 1

[shut holly]

wait so once you equip two different things there is always something in your hands?

[hardy veldt]

yeah

i can make a video tommorow if you’re still interested

and send to you

[shut holly]

hmmm. that is odd, sheath should essentially equip nothing/fists

[hardy veldt]

so basically everytime i wanna swap weapons i gotta first unequip then equip the first weapon then equip the 2nd weapon

[shut holly]

maybe there's something in settings i haven't noticed. are you playing with mouse+keyboard, or controller..?

[hardy veldt]

mouse and keyboard

[shut holly]

well, that isn't default behaviour, but im not 100% sure it's not just an option or alternate configuration

ik there's a key that cycles a few different controller configs, maybe that got hit and messed with sheathing behaviour. I'll have a look shortly

[hardy veldt]

@shut holly i’m going to sleep rn dm me what you find out about it i’ll be online tommorow

[subtle parrot]

Are you running mods that might make that happen?

[subtle parrot]

Afaik that wouldn't change the sheathing actions

Just the buttons to sheath and/or equip

[tulip tartan]

Wait there's a button for sheathing vs unequipping?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[tulip tartan]

Which button

[subtle parrot]

I think it's left bumper on controller, (not a pc user)

[tulip tartan]

I'm on PC🤷

[subtle parrot]

Try r

[shut holly]

i uh..changed it. can't remember what default is. R maybe?

[tulip tartan]

I'll see

I didn't know it was faster than equipping

Imo I think it looks cool

[hardy veldt]

i am running a lot of mods

i don’t know which one that would cause it though

[small nest]

its r

you can also get to river if you want to get your weapons on back

[small nest]

mates, is mountain gear enough for smouldering tomb?

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[small nest]

alright thanks 👍

[frail cave]

i have a shield generator at my base but i still get wet from rain sometimes?

this is how i have my vineberry farm set up, the produce is very low would increashing wall height increase my produce?

[late shell]

Does anyone have an extra cultist trophy? Been looking for a week for it in game and 20 caves later still nothing

[buoyant peak]

devcommands

[hollow mantle]

Vinberries are bugged. Yield is low (though that might be intended). And both growth and fruit can be sporadic and get undone by logging out (and perhaps portaling). I feel that planting multiple plants, 4m apart, works better, for fruit yield, than letting a single plant spread. Because I seem to get 1-2 clusters per plant, regardless of size.

[small nest]

can smouldering tomb on the west be attached to mistlands?

[hollow mantle]

It will be in Black Forest, but I think Black Forest and Mistlands can border, so there’s a chance there will be some nearby.

[small nest]

they can border, i just want to be sure i wont have to deal with bugs

[hollow mantle]

Only way to know is to go look.

(Or to use that web tool)

[late shell]

I figured out how to turn on devcommands but I can’t figure out how to spawn the actual item. It’s /spawn TrophyCultist right?

[buoyant peak]

Should be yes

But it should say devcommands are enabled

spawn TrophyCultist

[late shell]

I tried every variation of the command and nothing seems to be happening. The devcommand notification comes up though

[buoyant peak]

Is console enabled at all?

[late shell]

What’s that?

[buoyant peak]

You can't open console?

You use commands in the console, not the in-game chat

[late shell]

Is it F5?

[buoyant peak]

Yes

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

[late shell]

Ah I see, thank you. I was on a multiplayer server

[small nest]

are hildirs items teleportable?

[hollow mantle]

Yes.

[small nest]

good, im in middle of nowhere and i was worried

[hollow mantle]

Oh, wait… the chests?

[small nest]

yea

[hollow mantle]

Those cannot be teleported. Sorry, thought you meant what she sells.

(Oh, and actually one of the items she sells might not be teleportable (don’t recall if it’s her or Haldor that has it))

[small nest]

oh well i will have a nice ride. the fastest way to tomb took me 3 days 😮‍💨

[craggy forge]

What's the best way to farm for chains in vanilla survival besides finding new sunken crypts, farming ghosts in night swamp?

I always thought you can craft them with iron but turns out it's a world/mob drop and we need a bunch of them to build dvergr lamp posts

[late stirrup]

Sadly best solution I found is to do a gigantic path I can walk at night in a large swamp biome to farm them ... around 5/10 per night depending on luck.

It's definitely one of the things I hate farming the most ahah

[loud linden]

Sunken crypts are by far more productive than farming wraiths, with the downside that they don't respawn. With that said, chains are not a necessity after the forge bellows and iron cooking station. You'll have more than you want in time.

[hollow mantle]

Permanent light sources aren’t a necessity?! 🤣

[subtle parrot]

Lol there's other light sources than hanging brazier, but I do prefer them if I'm being honest

[mellow lodge]

do animals grow at your base if you're not there?

[hollow mantle]

You have to fuel braziers. I was referring to the lanterns.

[subtle parrot]

Ah they're very dull imo, I don't use them for much other than decoration

[subtle parrot]

Yes once they're born, like crops, will grow while you're gone. Idr if the pregnancy timer continues when away though.

But you do need to be around for them to breed

[mellow lodge]

thanks

[fringe sundial]

I think this would better fit in: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202263390056357928, but if this is somehow related to needing help/clarification on the in game mechanics of valheim, then ask away.

[shut holly]

crypts are best way. you can get some from dvergr outposts (maybe in mines?) but crypts most efficient by far

[late stirrup]

Crypts are nice, but when you are like me and plan to drop 100+ lanterns in a build ... Wraith farming is really the only way to go. Sadly. 😦

[shut holly]

ehm..why is that easier though...? are there no more crypts in your world..?

[fringe sundial]

not easier per-se, but crypts don't refresh/respawn like wraths do.

[shut holly]

doomed to wander the swamps at night is like something from a horror story. at that point i would use devcommands :x

[late stirrup]

Between sailing to new islands and emptying the crypts I can farm way more chains by killing wraiths

[fringe sundial]

to each there own. some like the bragging rights of "I did this all without cheating".

[late stirrup]

I have already cleared several swamps, I have enough iron for a while. I just need chains ^^

[fringe sundial]

IMO devcommands are a godsend for big builds.

[shut holly]

wraith spawn rates are sobad. i feel for you 😢

[late stirrup]

I have designed a wood pathway that goes accros a huge swamp especially to farm both Chains and Abomination Trophies ^^

So basically I walk the path, get between 5/10 chains and 2/4 trophies every night

[shut holly]

yeah..horror...... 😬

[late stirrup]

I do use devcommands for flying, my current build would just be absolutely impossible without it (plus it's above max build height so I need to spawn in rocks to reset stab).

But I kinda enjoy the farming of materials, chains are just on the lower end of availability tho sadly

[fringe sundial]

ya, low drop rate items are a pain for sure. but if that's how you enjoy playing, then you are playing "right" IMO.

[shut holly]

well if it's enjoyable (shrug)

[late stirrup]

I wouldn't mind a better farming solution for chains tho, or even better, unlocking crafting of them at the mistland level or ashlands !

[shut holly]

yeah, I've said before and i maintain, they should be craftable at artisan table

[daring lance]

say if i use dev commands in my world
would i be able to join my friend's world afterwards?

[lilac coyote]

Why wouldn't you?

[daring lance]

will my name come as cheater or something?

[lilac coyote]

No...

[late stirrup]

If you don't have the rights for devcommands on your server, you simply won't be able to use the commands, is all 🙂

[daring lance]

ok thanks

[main oxide]

hello

its possible to ask for builders?

[mellow lodge]

cvould bats get up into that tiny corner where you can see the wolf?

maybe i need to cover it up with some thatched roof

actually i think that bottom half wall is breaking things too, the pups are getting stuck

[shut holly]

it's kinda dark and my phone won't go any brighter. but, sides and top should be covered. the hole the pups drop from is less important. if they fly under they can see the wolf, but ive never had one make it through the wolf to the inside. or kill one. maybe hit the floor next to it, but i also don't think ive ever had one break

[mellow lodge]

okay, thanks. i think i need to extend it more anwyays.

[late stirrup]

@sudden galleon

Maybe ? 😄

[sudden galleon]

nah the valheim tab was not extended .. must have click on it with out noticing

[late stirrup]

that's actually what that ticking box does 😄

[loud linden]

We need a 'ticking box' in the Mistlands. I'm sure we could tame ticks if we could feed them bloodbags.

[tulip tartan]

Are there any tameable creatures that can fight with me?

[steep tusk]

Wolves.

[loud linden]

Have you tried multi-player?

[tulip tartan]

Lmao that counts

[shut holly]

have you ever tried to tame a human? i posit it's not possible.

[tulip tartan]

Where can I get some wolves

[loud linden]

Watch some true crime shows, my dude. It's not pleasant, but taming humans is definitely achievable.

[steep tusk]

Entire Marine Corps says hi. 😁

[shut holly]

don't make fun of the circus, that's rude

[loud linden]

Also a great example, unfortunately.

[quasi cairn]

hello, am I able to plant onions in the Ashlands? I have a shield generator up on a fortress but my onions wont grow on the soil outside

[steep tusk]

I don't think you can plant anything other than vineberry in Ashlands.

Plains is the "farm biome" as you can grow everything other than the Mistlands shrooms in it.

[loud linden]

Not to argue but, for clarity, you can plant vineberry anywhere that's 'cultivated'.

[steep tusk]

True.

[shut holly]

wait is that why you like it so much..?

[steep tusk]

Eh. Even without that I find it the prettiest biome.

Calm. Peaceful. Great views.

And it has the cutest creatures in the game being the cuddly Lox.

[shut holly]

skeles are cuddly..

[loud linden]

I like plains because it's not extravagant; it's not spectacular; it's not trying to be anything that it's not.

[steep tusk]

Also it doesn't infinitely have fucking greylings...

[quasi cairn]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Cultivator
i'm guessing this is misleading then?

there was also some video on youtube that said you could under a shield generator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpkb_UuJ918

[loud linden]

Iiiiinteresting! Thanks for the link, I'll be checking that out.

[steep tusk]

I'm going to say yes, if the page is telling you you can plant anything in Ashlands, that wouldn't be correct.

[quasi cairn]

thank u for confirming

[meager rampart]

What's good weapon for mountains?

[steep tusk]

Iron Mace.

[meager rampart]

Okay

[fringe sundial]

mace for most things and bow for drakes

[meager rampart]

Okay

[tulip tartan]

whats the difference between meadows and plains? i assume theyre different biomes but the meadows is basically plains with trees

is there cooler stuff in the plains biome?

[loud linden]

If you die once a day in the meadows, you'll die so often in the plains it'll make you want to quite playing the game. They are not the same.

[tulip tartan]

i actually havent died since before i fought eikthyr

i come prepared

[loud linden]

Very much so, but don't even try to get there until you've got a good supply of iron.

[tulip tartan]

iron? where do i even get that

[loud linden]

I'm not going to spoil it.

[tulip tartan]

aww okay

after i beat the elder, i'm prob gonna go for the swamps, i'm excited to see a new biome after being in the black forest for so long

everything in the black forest is too weak now

i wanna challenge

i also heard there's gonna be a new armor set in the swamps

[fringe sundial]

each biome becomes progressively harder (on average). meadows is biome 1 and plains is biome 5.

[tulip tartan]

:( sounds painful then

if swamps is biome 3 i'd be skipping whatever 4 is

[fringe sundial]

also, each boss drops something that points you to the next biome.

[tulip tartan]

oooo

[fringe sundial]

much like the hard antlers pointed you to copper and tin.

[tulip tartan]

i'm excited to fight the elder, but ive gotta wait until my teammate is ready

i dont wanna fight a forsaken without my friend

i mean, i'd still win, but it's kinda scummy to progress the game without the other player

[fringe sundial]

it would make it harder on them if the world settings were not set to "player progression", ya.

[hardy veldt]

dude what is this crypt

[shut holly]

i just can't

[loud linden]

Sunken, is my guess.

[shut holly]

https://tenor.com/view/ffs-baby-really-oh-god-just-stop-gif-12739180

ok.

[shut holly]

why are you carrying a cultivator? and ooze bombs? where are your poison meads? please tell me you have poison meads

[hardy veldt]

i usually just logout when i get poisoned

but i might consider getting some for bonemass

[shut holly]

https://tenor.com/view/the-it-crowd-chris-o-dwod-roy-embarrassed-face-palm-gif-3611841

[hardy veldt]

whats wrong with cultivator and ooze bombs?

[shut holly]

are you planting something in that crypt? are the enemies there weak to poison?

[hardy veldt]

lol no

[shut holly]

you're gonna spend twice as much time logging out and in than it would take to make the mead. make the mead until you have root mask. fr.

[hollow mantle]

And you'll spend at least three times as long hauling stuff out of dungeons if you take gear you don't need into them.

[honest cairn]

guys why me and my friends houses decay? my whole firend house fell apart

[steep tusk]

Did you put a roof on it?

[thorn spire]

did it fall apart or burn down?

[gritty mountain]

hello 🙂
i got my first boar here in the farm, and added this firecamp to him, but it run afraid XD
Now I don't know if it is correct to keep this here... does boars get cold? 😄

[keen glacier]

what are you actually getting hit with that deals poison dmg, other than mayb bonemass, in the swamp? Don't wade through leech infested waters, and slowly walk away from the clumsy blobs/oozers and you should be poison-free

especially concerning if its happening to you so often that logging out and back in again amounts to a time-consuming activity

[craggy forge]

boars are afraid of fire and having a campfire near them will make them permanently scared

[thorn spire]

until they're tamed.

[hollow mantle]

Boars do not get cold.

[honest cairn]

yes

[honest cairn]

no im sure 100% it just fell apart

[thorn spire]

any changes to the ground around it. that's theonly other thing I can think of.

[honest cairn]

we were afk for a bit when we came back 1 house was completely destroyed and hte other one just damaged and one house was completely fine

[thorn spire]

so if you were afk and logged in, maybe a raid then. Something came through while you were AFK and destroyed it.

[plush hill]

Is there a way to change Wold options of a server with comands inside the server having admin privileges? like change "can teleport ores"
Without getting the server down

[honest cairn]

maybe thats why i thought it will not spawn the raid in the houses area cause we got the place walled up and having torches everywhere if they spawn in this condition then its may be it is a raid

[buoyant nexus]

if I check "Community Server" will this server always run even if I log out?

(as the host)

[steep tusk]

Your computer is the host.
So if you log out, how would anyone else play?

[red heath]

no? u can host a server on ur computer so u dont even need to open game

but ur pc have to be on

[gritty mountain]

Hi, how can I post a spoiler question here?

[crystal kiln]

there are still spoilers? xd

[buoyant nexus]

so I need a dedicated server to have the game always running I guess.

[steep tusk]

Correct.

[gritty mountain]

I just found out something new for me, until now would be spoiler if anyone told 🙂
I don't see content of the game before playing, so it's a lot of things new for me 😄

someone else may be starting today as well

[red heath]

bro

game is like 3 years old, new update like 2 months. what type of spoiler u can make?

[gritty mountain]

Age of release doesn't diminish a spoiler's impact for new players, who can by everytime. We can spoil the fun for someone starting today, as it could for me starting this weekend. I'm happy I didn't read or watch anything about the game before starting my first play 2 days ago

[real nebula]

You can spoiler tag your messages by surrounding them with || on both sides

[gritty mountain]

• can come by

||test||

[real nebula]

There ya go

[gritty mountain]

i found ||Haldor||, and ||the sell button doesn't work, it's disabled, anyone now how to enable it? Or it's unavailable right now?||

[mellow lodge]

you can only sell other treasure

[gritty mountain]

you mean trophies?

[mellow lodge]

rubies, amber, etc

[gritty mountain]

ok ok, thanks!

[gritty mountain]

this message is spoiler for new players, by the way

[subtle parrot]

Nbd tbh

[mellow lodge]

as people have said, all of these channels discuss everything at this point.

if you don't want to be spoiled, don't log into this discord i think

[subtle parrot]

Main things needing spoilers would be ashlands and maybe mists, since they're the newest biomes but mistlands has been out for over a year now

[red heath]

theres no way u call that spoiler, u have basically told how much worthy are those items

[hardy veldt]

im playing melee should i use metal armor? for bonemass/mountains

or dodge roll + shield

[steep tusk]

How is armor and shield a "vs" instead of just using both?

[hardy veldt]

i would be too slow

[steep tusk]

No?

The only thing in the game that makes you "too slow" is holding a Tower Shield.

[hardy veldt]

i would be way slower holding a shield full metal armor and a weapon

[steep tusk]

Do what you feel like doing 🤷‍♂️
There is absolutely no issue with wearing armor and holding a normal shield/buckler.

[hardy veldt]

am i missing anything besides bonfire for bonemass?

[true steeple]

Health mead

[small nest]

maybe upgrade your armour a bit, to level 2 or 3 so bonemass wont hit like a truck, other than that not really

[steep tusk]

Oh, modded...

🏃‍♂️ 💨

[hardy veldt]

hes usually very predictable but i might mess up a dodge roll every now and then

almost same moveset as a troll

[small nest]

hmm, then you might be ready, good luck

[hardy veldt]

imo hes the 2nd hardest boss other than ||fader||

[steep tusk]

Bonemass?

[hardy veldt]

yeha

[steep tusk]

The literal zero-damage fight is your second-hardest boss?

[hardy veldt]

i find all the others way to easy

[hardy veldt]

hes hard because most of the time i get ambushed by other mobs

ill get railed by an abomination out of nowhere

and sometimes he baits me out

he will start his poison move animation then cancel it and melee

[vagrant bobcat]

no xD

with poison mead the poison does nothing

and u just dodge his strike

[hardy veldt]

the other mobs are most of the problem

[small nest]

to be honest none of the fifth first boss fights i fought werent much a challenge

oh and also i recommend hoe'ing area around bonemass altar so you wont get to some random ponds, clearing nearest spawners/crypt defenders would also be helpful.

[hardy veldt]

uh oh

TOO EASY

[small nest]

oh i just wanted to type: sound of progress my friend

it worked! GG

[hardy veldt]

got hit one and poisoned and i went to 2 health xd

i really would have died if i didnt make health pots

[small nest]

blobicycake deserves a medal for this piece of info

[hardy veldt]

fr

now i ran into abomination and i have no bonfire

and i left my axe at home

[full girder]

Hey Guys, does anybody else has huge lags while playing with more than one player on a nitrado server? I remember way back when valheim first launched that me and my friends had similar problems. For us it was fine for the last years or so. Now the lags are back and we cant figure out why.

[hardy veldt]

have i played too much?

[true steeple]

No, that’s impossible

[hardy veldt]

its summer

[hollow mantle]

Do you feel you have played too much? If yes, then you have. If no, then you probably have.

[hardy veldt]

i dont feel like i played to much but i think steam does

[hardy veldt]

how is it impossible?

[true steeple]

There is no too much valheim

[loud spade]

Is there a console command name for the seasonal Halloween hat?

[honest cairn]

valheim is fun :3

i would be spending like 30 hours building a house then my friend will ask for a house so i build him a house

[honest cairn]

GUys how CaN we Use Wishbone

[shut holly]

equip it

walk around

[honest cairn]

how do i know where the treasuers are?

or is it just walking and the pop out?

[lilac coyote]

It'll make a sound when you get near treasure/silver. The faster and higher pitched the sound the closer you are.

[frank bobcat]

do u have many builds close together?

[frank bobcat]

i had that same thought about valheim, now im close to 80 hours, and still havent entered a sunken crypt

[sweet crescent]

ah yes the life of someone with 1X resources

[frank bobcat]

what do you mean by that

[viral narwhal]

He means you have 1X resources

Wait let me answer like a loser

[viral narwhal]

Ahem. He was referring to the world modifier mechanic where you can adjust the resources drop multiplier. By default it is at 1x but can go as far as 3x 🤓. Doing so can make for a much faster playthrough as less time is spent hacking at a tree🎩. Mr some random guy was alluding to the tedious and time consuming task of acquiring resources with 1x drop rate. Thank you.

[shell dock]

is there a way with devcommands to find a certain structure

like portals

[hardy veldt]

if i get into trouble should i use needle or frost arrows?

[hollow mantle]

Depends on the trouble!

There are a few things that are immune to Frost. So, in those instances it's better to go with the needle arrows. But frost is better more generally. Unless you're fighting something weak to pierce, then needle is better again.

[hardy veldt]

i am currently progressing mountain biome rn so maybe needle for mountains and the rest frost

[solemn fractal]

howdy! this may be a dumb question but is there a way to prevent enemies spawning in my base? context: i have a castle like build in development, enemies keep spawning in my farm and duking my veggie.

[shut holly]

workbench or campfire is usually easiest. the circle that shows on the ground while placing a bench is the effected area. campfire has the same radius but you don't get the preview. also easier to check coverage with workbench, by walking around with hammer out and say a wood floor selected. at the bottom it shows workbench as a requirement, if you're standing somewhere that doesn't have coverage that'll flash red

[solemn fractal]

Fascinating, do torches/any other sources of light emit this effect or just those 2 in specific? either way thank you for the advice

[hardy veldt]

if a normal wolf does 40 dmg to me that means a 2 star will be night night right?

[hollow mantle]

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

[shut holly]

sure, torches work, beds, smelters, etc.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

torches/campfires do not need fuel to prevent spawning.

[hollow mantle]

Well, that depends on your HP and armour. But, yeah, 2-star wolves are likely pretty brutal. I’ve had the good (or bad) fortune to not see one.

[hardy veldt]

im at 174 hp and 26 armor

[hollow mantle]

I dunno how the math works out.

[shut holly]

after asksvin cape taming a 2star is your next task!!! 🥳

[hollow mantle]

Haha.

[hardy veldt]

maybe ill be able to tank 1 hit

its blizzarding and its night and i cant get a single wolf trophy and i got 6 minutes left

before im completely out of frost res

[shut holly]

usually with swamp gear 1 oops is all you get. even with mountain gear you might not get 2, depending

[hardy veldt]

one of my goals

[hardy veldt]

i killed 20+ wolf

[shut holly]

tame a couple wolves during the day. give them boar meat. wait a bit. bam, trophy.

[hardy veldt]

i hate taming it takes forever

[shut holly]

taming a pair is a lot easier than hunting starred wolves...

[hardy veldt]

i would rather fight a lox with my swamp gear rather than that

thats not that bad of an idea

[shut holly]

(shrug) alright then. but you don't need stars to increase trophy drop chance. just keep hunting during day

[hardy veldt]

i thought they had higher spawn chances

[shut holly]

they also keel you

[hardy veldt]

worth the trade

[vagrant bobcat]

Valheim wiki has those answers, usually the trophy drop is same for all stars

[hardy veldt]

like the wolves themselves having higher spawn chances

its not looking good i got 3 minutes left

if i dont find one ill either have to sit around and wait 2 ingame days or go kill a lox

[hollow mantle]

1-stars are rare. 2-stars are super rare. And they all have a 10% trophy drop rate.

[hardy veldt]

so i really should have 2-3 by now but my rng is trash

[hollow mantle]

More common at night, of course.

Actually, I’m not sure starred spawn during the day at all.

[hardy veldt]

they dont

[worldly root]

can i give players admin on a server from the game? or do i have to have my own server (like utilizing something outside the basic game)

[hardy veldt]

🤦‍♂️ guess i have to go kill a lox now

[shut holly]

why...?

[hardy veldt]

im too impatient to wait 2 ingame days to get frost res

[shut holly]

...ok

[hollow mantle]

But wolf cape is the best looking cape!

[ripe tinsel]

Feather cape is best

wolf cape should have wolf head hood up

[shut holly]

ashen cape. i will fite u.

fenris set+ashen cape is the winner. this is objective fact.

[ripe tinsel]

ashen cape looks like a old mans snot cloth

[shut holly]

no u

[ripe tinsel]

mom

[shut holly]

lol. a lotta people don't seem to like it, but irdk why. i love it.

[ripe tinsel]

10/10 would blow my nose in it

[shut holly]

i need to tame some asksvin still. wanna mob around meadows on one. jump on some necks.

[ripe tinsel]

10/10 would jump on your neck

[true steeple]

Why do you want to jump on the necks

[shut holly]

because irony.

https://tenor.com/view/letterkenny-20percent-off-mixed-berry-wayne-darryl-gif-20670542

what would/do you jump on?

[true steeple]

Everything except the necks

[shut holly]

what's most fun?

I wonder how many asksvin it would take to kill yag. 🤔

also it just occurred to me that you can take eggs into a fresh world. hmmmmmm..

[compact heath]

can a soldier break silver?

[steep tusk]

No. But sailors and marines can 😉

[hollow cloak]

Sailors are too drunk and Marines are too busy with their Crayola

[hallow gust]

marines would rather eat crayons

[steep tusk]

Haven't been too drunk since they took rum out of our guaranteed pay.

And I always fed my marines the colored pencils, because they need their fiber.

[white thorn]

Ive been trying to tame this god damn boar for almost an hour now, but he wont become calm any suggestions?

[hallow gust]

any fire near him?

[white thorn]

There is a campfire and some torches

Is that why?

[hallow gust]

try removing those from near him first

[hallow gust]

its a animal its scared of fire

[white thorn]

Okay will give that a go

[hallow gust]

if you see boars in the wild and take out a torch cause yould rather not fight them they would be running away from you cause of the fire in your hands

[white thorn]

Worked straight away, never actually used fire around them until now, thought it was only the greyling etc that didnt like fire but makes sense now thank you 🙏

[hallow gust]

i beleive its mentioned on a runestone that boars are afraid of fire iirc

[white thorn]

Probs, i havent really been reading them but i guess i am going to now haha
