[frank bobcat]

i see

[small nest]

how rare are meadows here?

[compact heath]

just checked a random seed on mapviewer and there was only one tiny meadows that far out in that radius so I'd say rather rare

[small nest]

good to know, i was just curious. the thing that is most fascinating for me in this game is world generation, how it can be quirky sometimes

[delicate smelt]

Me: finally! A nice base surrounded by cool rocks in the mountain!

Stone golem: bonjour.

Any tips to keep a beautiful base on mountain safe? 😭

[true steeple]

The golems only aggro if you get close so once the base is finished they shouldn’t attack when you’re inside

Also they aren’t that bad, they can’t spawn with stars

[worldly eagle]

Suggest to dig a large hole and drag the Golem inside using abyssal harpoon. Thus keep it from respawning.

[small nest]

you can place campfires around the place and once they burn out or freeze idk you can cover them with little of soil so you wont see them and they wont destroy themselves. (campfires causes enemies to not spawn in their radius, somewhere around 20m)

[delicate smelt]

I was in the middle of building my base and they somehow keep coming and cracking all the cool rocks around. this is my fourth mountain. (Abandoned whole mountain with a single broken rock cuz i can't stand it)

[delicate smelt]

Do they not despawn?

[worldly eagle]

Not unless you or something else kills it.

[true steeple]

Enemies can only despawn if they are spawned by a raid, only spawn at night or are part of an increased spawn cap at night. Stone golems can’t despawn.

[delicate smelt]

So even if we go away, they dont despawn? That would give an obvious solution. Aight time to recreate the world, then. Thank you everyone.

(I found a really cool caldera near moder and was building an abandoned mine themed base inside it when that golem suddenly came from nowhere)

[true steeple]

If you go away they’ll still be there when you come back

[worldly eagle]

Just make the hole large enough xD

Or rather deep

[small nest]

can anything except barley and flax grow on plains?

[ocean iron]

Plains is the best biome for farming as you can grow everything (IIRC) except Mistlands items

[shadow cairn]

so how does one build support for a roof becuse the way i have tried it does not work

[ocean iron]

Send a photo to help understand your issue as it can be a number of things

[shadow cairn]

i think i figured it out

the lower floor didnt have enough support

[civic rivet]

Hey!

I've got a question about Odin's Cape.

I did buy my game 13 Feb 2021, and didn't get any key from Iron Gate.

Was if for earlier supporters or I did miss something? 😄

Thanks for help!

[lilac coyote]

It was for during beta testing, you've bought it on Early Access release.

[honest cairn]

does the bow type make a diff with leveling the skill?

[steep tusk]

No.

[vagrant bobcat]

wdym by bow type

[honest cairn]

fine bow / crude bow etc

[vagrant bobcat]

not really

u get same xp per shot, worse bows just cost less stamina

[mellow lodge]

which is better, less damage, less stamina equals more shots against a creature, assuming you're trying to farm bows. like with a stone golem in a pit for instance.

[subtle parrot]

The exp comes from the hit not the amount of damage, so more stamina is better for training skills

[frank bobcat]

my campfire keeps going out and turning back on at max fuel

[hardy veldt]

should i make frostner or silver sword for yag?

[buoyant peak]

Silver sword

[buoyant peak]

No

[frail cave]

it's suffocating in its own smoke

[frank bobcat]

but i made a chimney

[frail cave]

looks like it's not thick enough 😅
smoke particles are 1x1x1 meter big

(or maybe the top has a flat ceiling that doesn't guide the particles out of a hole)

[frank bobcat]

see, there's smoke coming out from it too

[frail cave]

the screenshot shows a lot of smoke stuck above the campfire though, so clearly there's some problem somewhere in there

[frank bobcat]

idk then

i always make chimneys like this and they usually work

dont know why this is happening

[sudden galleon]

try to put a longer roof over your camp fire

[hardy veldt]

am i missing anything for moder?

[vagrant bobcat]

make the chimney higher

[vagrant bobcat]

needle arrows :p

u can get them easily from deathsquitos

[hardy veldt]

oh, there better than obsidian?

[vagrant bobcat]

by 10 dmg i think

[hardy veldt]

worth it tbh

at this point feathers are harder to get

than needles

[mellow lodge]

if you're in the plains comfortably, can't you get two eggs from the Hildr quest tower?

[hardy veldt]

eggs?

chicken eggs?

[mellow lodge]

yes

which grow hens, which i heard give feathers

[hardy veldt]

ive never done the quest before

isnt it expensive?

[mellow lodge]

me either, but i think it's on the wiki. i think you actually just find 2 eggs in a chest in a room in there

[hardy veldt]

the big black tower full of fulings?

[mellow lodge]

the quest tower

again, i haven't done that quest myself. just what i heard

[dark fog]

Yes, it is called a sealed tower. There are usually 2 chicken eggs on the bottom level with the mini boss

[blazing iris]

anyone who is good at building could i get some help please?

[hardy veldt]

im probably too underpowered for that lol

[dark fog]

Depends whether you can handle starred goblins. There usually are a lot of them in that tower

[mellow lodge]

i guess like the black forest version had a lot of starred skeletons.

[dark fog]

But I have heard its not that hard if you just bring a bunch of ooze bombs and kill the goblins through the windows. If you go bring fire resist potions for the boss though

[mellow lodge]

i don't know if i'm good, but you should post what problem you're having here and people can help

[buoyant peak]

#mods-screenshots

[hollow cloak]

Use Fire Arrows on Modor as he is weak to fire and immune to frost so frost arrows aren't worth using, if you have dome bonemass I would advice using a Draugr Fang Bow

[mellow lodge]

that armor value seems pretty low. i'm realizing that i like more armor points than a lot of people. where's your frost resist?

[buoyant peak]

Fire arrows are useless Vs moder

[mellow lodge]

oh, there's the mead

[buoyant peak]

She takes more damage from poison arrows in that case

[hollow cloak]

I use fire arrows as draugr fang also adds the poison damage normally as they are easier to make

[frail cave]

if draugr fang shoots a poison arrow, the poison of draugr fang and the arrow combines.
still, poison is pretty bad mechanically, since each subsequent poison hit just cancels the remaining DoT ticks of the previous hit, unlike fire and spirit

[hollow cloak]

maybe I just like watching things burn

[mellow lodge]

i think i used poison arrows a long time ago when i killed her, but it was pretty slow. lots of retreating underneath

[blazing iris]

i cant get my roof to close due to lack of integrity how do i make it stable

[mellow lodge]

this link explains all: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Building_stability

it's heavy reading. However, one simple thing i did recently to help build higher: i used stone pillars to go up, and then built core wood ontop of that. You should probably ask in #building-tips if you need more help

[blazing iris]

okay thank you very much

[tiny violet]

You can put pillars inside in the middle for support. build attached to those pillars. then once you roof touches each other in the middle and is supported by itself, you can remove the temporary pillars

[versed canyon]

Does anyone know if the game gets harder the further amount of days pass? I’ve been playing for awhile now and I haven’t really been able to come to good conclusion

[tiny violet]

i dont think it does get harder in that way. it gets harder the more bosses that are slain, and also the more boss trophies hung at spawn, the raids increase in difficulty

[versed canyon]

Yeah no I completely agree I just always felt like I noticed more and more starred enemies the longer I was playing so it confused me abit

[mellow lodge]

i think starred enemies are more common the farther away you are from original spawn, so that's part of it

[cobalt hearth]

hello, i am on a modded server and i need to spawn in hildirs quest table and camp as find hildir 30 didnt find her, and i dont know the commands, anyone do this before?

[mellow lodge]

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

[versed canyon]

Thanks @mellow lodge that was actually really helpful

[buoyant peak]

No

[fringe sundial]

You could always use the online map to find her. It's in one of the pinned messages.

[vagrant sedge]

Can anyone point me to a resource to get mods working on my dedicated Windows server? I see all sorts of guides online on how to get them working on hosted servers, but I need some help getting them working on my dedicated server. I have bepinex copied into the directory along with all the mods I want, but when the server starts, non of the mods load.

[thorn spire]

try in #mods-discussion

[sharp sierra]

I had a glitch in my server and I lost a ton of mandibles and carapce. We are about to enter Ashlands and we can't make re-make the armour that we lost. I know I can mod my game and spawn in the materials, but that feels bad. It wouldn't feel bad if someone wanted to gift me some materials instead 🙂 please and thanks!

[shut holly]

that's light reading.

[loud linden]

The server host I use has a guide for that. Have you checked your server host's FAQ?

(or wiki)

[vagrant sedge]

I am the server host. It's a local Windows server. I have been running a server for a year or more now, just want to do a fresh start and try out mods. I just cannot find and resources or guides for how to do it on my own server and not a hosted one.

[loud linden]

OIC, you're hosting from your own machine. I don't know then, sorry.

[cobalt hearth]

no. i said that find hildir 30 didnt find her, so it means shes not on the seed at all

[vagrant sedge]

If there are no guides then if anyone else has been able to get it to work I just need a little direction on what directories exactly to put the files and what syntax to include in the startup line

[cobalt hearth]

hello, i am on a modded server and i need to spawn in hildirs quest table and camp as find hildir 30 didnt find her, and i dont know the commands, anyone do this before?

[loud linden]

#mods-discussion

[cobalt hearth]

is there a way to see the "more" of a console command suggestive list

[shut holly]

hmm tab cycles through matging terms

[fringe sundial]

I would be shocked if hildir wasn't on a seed/world.

Unless someone was scummy and used forcedelete or something.

[cobalt hearth]

prob one of the mods that messed it up. genloc was ran and the best weve got is just her, but we need her quest table and idk what the command is to spawn it

ill try tabbing

[fringe sundial]

Ah, You could try tab(ing) through all the "spawn hildir" options if any are listed. Otherwise I think there is a wiki with ID's that might help.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs

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

[cobalt hearth]

tabbing works, IDs dont have hildir in there if you even looked. (not yet anyway)

im trying spawn table and tabbing through there to see if i can find her quest table

all of the hildr options are just the chests and the dungeons and droppables etc but not her camp furnitures

[fringe sundial]

Only other work around I can think of is trying to use "find" for each dungeon/chest's ID, if you are just trying to find the location of the chests.

You could also set the player key as done too for her quest.

But beyond that, asking in the mods section(s) might give you other ideas.

[cobalt hearth]

i want to build her camp so i can run through the content as intended. idk if initiating her quests generates those special dungeons either but i dont want to spawn anything unnautrally except for her and her camp

[subtle parrot]

They are already spawned, you just get the locations on the map when you visit her

[cobalt hearth]

my original question further up since missed: hello, i am on a modded server and i need to spawn in hildirs quest table and camp as find hildir 30 didnt find her, and i dont know the commands, anyone do this before?

[south ridge]

Hello, you guys have any tips on taming lox?
How do you catch it and what kind of cage should i make for taming it?

[subtle parrot]

Iirc the 30 refers to the radius in meters around you, for search, but I could be wrong

[fringe sundial]

Unless you have a ton of stone, diging a hole and having them get trapped in there is the best option for tameing.

[thorn spire]

honestly I ended up building my plains base around the pen I built to catch lox.

earthen walls and a double-wide wood bridge over a moat so they can't run out

[cobalt hearth]

even so, i put 9999 and it is still 0

[subtle parrot]

I'm pretty sure there's a max of 50 meters...

[cobalt hearth]

we tamed one by dropping cloud berries near it and then when we came back it was ours. no penn needed

[hollow crown]

Does data exist of approximate expected iron per crypt for example?

[south ridge]

Ah yeah that's smart. i go make something similar too. Thanks!

[subtle parrot]

Maybe 500

[mellow lodge]

from my experience 2.5 stacks seems about average

[south ridge]

@thorn spire if i may ask, how big is your pen for the lox btw?

[hollow crown]

Thanks, I would love to see actual data, but anecdotal advice is good too I appreciate it! 🙂

[thorn spire]

I made mine huge, probably 20m x 60m

[lilac coyote]

It's literal RNG, I'm not sure what data you want.

[cobalt hearth]

future data

[south ridge]

Aight 🙏

[hollow crown]

Ok it's rng, but I am not asking for a specific "you get 45 iron per crypt for sure". Ideally I'd love to see a spreadsheet of drops from actual crypts with a high enough sample size that it becomes statistically relevant, or if someone knows the exact rng used they can give an answer like "expected iron per crypt given the parameters of the rng system is..."

Now I fully accept that this is quite niche and probably noone has done it, and it takes a lot of effort so I am not asking for someone to do it. Just if it exists, as I know similar data exists in other games.

[lilac coyote]

Knock yourself out: https://github.com/kirilloid/valheim/blob/main/src/data/rooms/sunkencrypt.ts

[mellow lodge]

it actualkly sounds like something people would have done. since iron is such a hot topic

[subtle parrot]

I mean I've gotten 0 iron from some crypts and 120 from others, it's a big spreadsheet lol

[lilac coyote]

The problem is, crypts are procedurally generated, and then the rooms within those procedurally generated crypts are randomly populated.

[hollow crown]

Of course, so there is naturally a massive variance. Thanks for the link! this is purely an intellectual endeavor, ultimately it will still be me crypt crawling.

[shut holly]

imean you could poll an average, but yeah, some crypts don't even have rooms...so...there is no guarantee

[cobalt hearth]

damn, looks like none of the hildir or table cycles in console spawn her quest table

[hollow mantle]

@cobalt hearth : have you tried one of those map viewers?

[shut holly]

imho, mods are the problem..they just bugger everything they touch... :/

[subtle parrot]

Valheim-map.world

[lilac coyote]

For reference, what did Hildir_camp spawn in?

[cobalt hearth]

it is the mods. i finally got the snow caves spawned in manually and genloc and mistland reset actually put in the dungeons and dverger mages etc, but hildir is whats left. she wasnt on the seed i made for sure cause of a mod but they havent added her camp items as spawnable it seems.

spawn hildir_camp isnt a valid cmd

if anyone can find out what the ID is to spawn Hildirs quest table i will sacrifice a lox in your name

[lilac coyote]

It's still Hildir_camp

[cobalt hearth]

am i doing it right by typing "spawn hildir_camp because that doesnt do anything

[lilac coyote]

Do you actually have devcommands enabled?

[cobalt hearth]

yeah, i even just forcedeleted my random hildir i have chilling at my base

[lilac coyote]

Then spawn Hildir_camp should work.

[cobalt hearth]

that should spawn her camp right in front of you right

[lilac coyote]

Yeah.

[cobalt hearth]

i even made sure i had enough terrain to spawn her

[fringe sundial]

#general message
Someone suggested trying "spawn hildir_camp"

OG beat me to it.

[cobalt hearth]

weve been discussing it for a lil, thx tho

restarted server no change oof

[subtle parrot]

Unless you have a mod (which is my bad to have assumed before) to use devcommands on the server, it's not possible to use commands on the server

[odd warren]

are wood/stone farm worth building?

[hollow crown]

For megaprojects yeah, for normal day to day and small scale building no (this is my opinion and does not represent an objective answer)

[fierce kelp]

what is the easiest way to get loads of feathers??

[hollow mantle]

Chicken. If you have eggs. Otherwise birds roost on the ground in the meadows during storms.

[lilac coyote]

I'm an idiot, sorry. The command is location not spawn for, well, locations.

[shut holly]

harpoon birds. or birds with wooden arrows. or chickens.

[fierce kelp]

yeah i have a chicken farm going but it takes agesss. i think i need a bigger farm. ill go bird hunting in the mean time. thanks all

[cobalt hearth]

checking

awesome, thanks!

she now lives in my backyard and a lox will be sacrificed in your name

[vale rose]

I don't suppose there is a body or 2 around tomorrow able to give me a hand in killing the Plains boss? (With totem grabbing?)

[fringe sundial]

Most of said bodies are here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[vale rose]

Good stuff, thanks

[waxen jay]

Guys is free building and increased drop rate classed as cheating? React with 👍 if yes or👎if no

[subtle parrot]

Why would it be? It's a mechanic you can choose to play with or without

[shut holly]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-maybe-indifferent-gut-gif-8856605

[buoyant peak]

Yes, it's 100% cheating and anyone that uses it should be ashamed for doing so.

I speak for literally the entire fan base and completely forbid you from playing that way despite is YOUR world

[maiden verge]

Depends on what you are doing. Casual playthrough...No. Speed run then yes if being competitive unless the rules allowed for such. They are really just QoL adjustments to keep from farming so much, but in terms of time spent playing the game, free building and increased drop rate both speed it up tremendously.

[buoyant peak]

||I really still cannot comprehend that kind of questions||

[lilac coyote]

Yes, it is cheating. Of course it is. No, that's not remotely a problem or a BAD thing. Do whatever you need to enjoy YOUR game.

[buoyant peak]

It's only wishful thinking that the trend of seeking validation from people that have exactly 0 relevance on any aspect of your life will die one day...

[shut holly]

it's kindof a human trait though. most people do this about most things for most of their life, just some ways are more convoluted.

[buoyant peak]

Still cannot comprehend it...

Literally the only important opinions that should matter is yours and from the people close to you

[hollow mantle]

If it is a tool available in the game as it currently exists without mods, then it’s not cheating.

But also, what Rianu said.

[visual garnet]

Whenever I try to start Valheim...
the game crashes at the loading screen.

I have tried to:

1. re-install Valheim
2. create a new character
3. create a new world/seed

4. checked if there is any "beta-version" - I'm just playing the vanilla version

[subtle parrot]

#valheim-help message

@visual garnet have you tried this?

[visual garnet]

what is the "bepinex window" ?

[subtle parrot]

Mods

[visual garnet]

I don't have any mods

[true steeple]

Have you used mods before?

[subtle parrot]

I've only seen it associated with mod issues here, so I'm not sure tbh

[lilac coyote]

Bepinex is only needed for mods, so there's that.

[visual garnet]

I have never used mods before

Just switched to beta versions and such

[true steeple]

Is the game closing or stopping responding when it crashes?

[visual garnet]

Not responding, I'll see if I can take a screenshot

[true steeple]

How long have you waited when it stops?
If you wait long enough it should eventually load, and will be faster next time you open that world.

[lilac coyote]

I've never heard of 218.18. Maybe there was a Mac only version pushed?

[visual garnet]

Error: Valheim is not responding

[visual garnet]

10-15 seconds in, it freezes

[subtle parrot]

When that happens don't touch it don't click or tab away, give it a few minutes, it can take 5-8

After that it should load properly each time

[visual garnet]

Ok, i’m going to leave it untouched for 10 mins

[hollow mantle]

You can click the ‘wait’ option.

[visual garnet]

Oh!

It started!

Thank you so much!!! 😄

[subtle parrot]

[pliant lodge]

Much excite! Enjoy your game @visual garnet

[visual garnet]

👍👍

[harsh surge]

Is there a thing where during thunder storms that lightning can strike the ground and kill you? I've seen this twice and died to it once, but can't find anything about it on Google. I play with mods but unaware of any mods with this feature.

[lilac coyote]

Yep, lightning can kill you.

[harsh surge]

Is it super rare or new? I've played a lot and only seen lightning strike the ground twice ever. Also weird that google searches turn up nothing.

[shut holly]

hah! didn't know that was a thing, never experienced it...

[harsh surge]

If it's part of vanilla, there is nobody I can find talking about it via Google anywhere. Weird

[fringe sundial]

The magic of RNG?

[hollow mantle]

Wait.. what?!

[frail cave]

i've spent a good amount of time on stormy envs and never seen lightning strike within render distance, very much seems cosmetic.
hate to pull that card myself but i feel like if that is a thing, it might be new with ashlands 😅 i haven't played much since.
or derek is just making a joke about the obliterator
(of course also possible that i'm just unaware, as unlikely as that may be.)

[lilac coyote]

I'm now beginning to think that I may have imagined it.

[harsh surge]

Got an answer. Turns out it is part of the Jewelheim series of modpacks which I play with. I had no idea.

[gray geode]

what weapon type does the most damge to bonemass?

[steep tusk]

Blunt.

[gray geode]

like by a lot or a little

[true steeple]

Blunt does 3x the damage of slash and 6x of pierce

[honest cairn]

how can we move in this situation? the ship isnt moving at all

[true steeple]

You can’t use speed 2 and 3 against the wind, you need to use speed 1. Check the icon below the sail below map to see if you can go faster.

[honest cairn]

any guids on how to get silver + are the drakes spawning 24 hours is there a spawner or something casue drakes keep spawining in a crazy way

[vagrant bobcat]

Silver is in higher mountains under ground

U either need wish bone or stagbreaker if u r patient and dont have bonemass killed 😅

[subtle parrot]

If you don't place something down to block spawns then if you are close by the spawner they will continue to spawn pretty frequently

[compact heath]

use speed 1 (one arrow thingy) works forwards and backwords, you will paddle but will move without wind

[steel thorn]

also if the ship is stuck in shallow water, you can just hop out and push it by running into it whichever way

[plush hill]

what can low your FPS from 60-80 to 10? there is a part of my base that when i get close enought to render it my fps die, there are portals, and chests, i destroyed the portals and the problem is still there, i destroyed the black metal chests, and the problem is still there, before i had iron tochers but i destroyed them too, and nothings change

[hollow mantle]

The biggest killer of FPS in the game is ‘instances’. If you hit F2 it will show you how many you have in the scene. I’m not sure if there are good guides to how many instances different things ‘contain’, but apparently fires and creatures are particularly high-instance count entities, but most building blocks are a single instance, I think.

[plush hill]

from 4000 instances away from base to 15k instances inside the base, but with portals and torches destroyed, i dont know what gives so many instances, i think the lag started after ashlands update, could things inside chests give instances and lag?

[compact heath]

could post screenie to help people figure out why you have 15k

[plush hill]

i think i just found the problem, i tried with another pj, without autopin mod, i had like 40 pins in the minimap because of my portals, now i have 15k instances but 30 fps and works fine, i think that was the problem

but yeah, i still dont know why i have 15k instances XD

[vocal maple]

Hello. My brother is having an issue with no sound in game at all. I've googled and googled and tried everything I could find from checking to see if the game was muted, reinstalling, removing a registry entry, uninstalling / deleting the Valheim registry entry completely and reinstalling, turning all sounds down and back up. Nothing works. All other steam games work fine. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. He's playing on a laptop with GTX 1080 (updated drivers. Windows 10 (updated) Apologies if this is posted in the wrong area.

[smoky acorn]

What's the selected sound device in Valheim's Settings/Audio pane?

[honest cairn]

frostner or crystal axe or silver sword?

[hollow mantle]

Oh, interesting.

[shut holly]

crystal axe is kinda meh. silver sword and frostner are both worthwhile. which is your higher skill, swords or clubs?

[honest cairn]

tbh i used to play battleaxe and the abyssal razor so my sword and club levels aint interesting but i got a spawner so leveling em wouldnt be that much of a problem

[shut holly]

if you want to kill bonemass again, frostner just smashes him. but now is also a good point to start picking up on your sword skills

[vocal maple]

We tried both Default and (speakers Realtek)

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword is BiS for Yagluth.
Else, Crystal Axe.
Frostner sucks until they un-nerf it.

[shut holly]

at this tier, the axe is unimpressive. but either frostner or sword is good.

[shut holly]

your hate for knockback is unparalleled. frostner is still great, even if not for your playstyle. you should dial back like 10%, it's misleading to newer players to say it's nerfed crap...

frostner has some good uses for aure, but it's at this point i would shift from clubs to swords, myself. silver sword is pretty good, and most swords from here on are tbh

[steep tusk]

It is nerfed crap. 👍
Let me dial that back 10%...

It is still nerfed crap until dialed back at least 70%, then it will be extremely good and a beloved weapon.

[shut holly]

at least give a clue that you're speaking in terms of your preference/playstyle?

[steep tusk]

🤷‍♂️

[shut holly]

imean something like, "some people like it but i think..." would be more helpful to new ppl imo. there are some things that should objectively just be avoided, but frostner works great for a lotta people, so.. (shrug) you should give your view for sure though, it's useful information

[fiery pollen]

so im in the early game and i was told that skeletons spawn at night near dolmens, i need bone fragments to upgrade my armor, but theyre not spawning

am i at the correct strucutre? its a stonehenge looking thing

i placed a campfire under the structure, is that preventing the spawning?

[real nebula]

A campfire would block spawns, yes

[fiery pollen]

oh

how often do they spawn?

[real nebula]

Nighttime, but not very consistently iirc

If it helps any, as you keep progressing, you'll quickly find a better source of bones

[fiery pollen]

alr thx

i think going to the outskirts of the black forest is more efficient

tho i had to run away from a big blue giant once

[compact heath]

kill the giant!, learn how to not get hit and maybe how to roll too

[snow grove]

I'm getting very poor fps on good device. Need help

I'm playing xbox game pass version on windwos 11.

[small nest]

giant is very valuable and with spears or bows you can kill him without much effort

[small nest]

is plains gear enough for howling caverns?

[willow raft]

If you are careful.

[small nest]

alright wish me luck

[willow raft]

Good luck.

[fringe needle]

Which is the best way to transfor tamed wolf from island to home island? Yes, wolves can set to follow and then take them to boat. Those still might to attack against enemies/aggressive creations. Do they attack also against enemies which are not attacking on me? Another strategy could be using harpoon. Have wolves then attending to attack against enemies during sea travel?

Is there other ways to do this tranfor for wolves? And/or which is the best way in your experience?

[willow raft]

Best way for me was having a buddy harpoon the wolf and drag it with us.
Another good attempt was having a few freshly spawned pups and pushed them on the boat.
The most time consuming but sure to work was having an army of 10 wolves all set to follow pushed on the longboat and staying in the ocean as much as possible, so only serpents if they spawned could distract the wolves.
If they fell of the boat they would still swim and we would slowly make our way forwards, stopping often to let the wolves catch up.
once we got closer to the island they needed to be on we walked the wolves all from one side to the other, killing everything that got close, 4 wolves either died or got too far away but that still left us 6 wolves.

If you don't mind using devcommands you can spawn the wolves in and then tame them either normally or with devcommands.

[finite sorrel]

… and don’t sail past any swamps 🙂

[fringe sundial]

Bite(y) poison turds (leeches) and archers would do major damage to the swimming wolf population.

[naive wigeon]

is there a chance that the trader wotn spawn in the starter island?

[subtle parrot]

Very big chance

[willow raft]

Yes, Haldor has 10 possible spawn locations that are located in Black Forests which are at least 1500 meters away from the center of the world. Approaching any of these locations will permanently place Haldor there. This can happen from 320 - 453 meters away (about twice of the default minimap range) when the related zones is generated. When discovered, his bag icon will appear on the world map.

[native quartz]

what's the best setup for every bossfight

[quasi goblet]

Hello guys i need help i am trying to join my dedicated server and every time it says CONNECTION FAILD any suggestions??

[buoyant peak]

The best gear available for the tier the boss is at

[harsh sequoia]

bosses are mostly optional content. ^.^

[buoyant peak]

That question is like asking "what's the best way to play any game in existence efficiently"

Sure, because there's only a very few factors taken into account here

[willow raft]

Eikthyr: whatever you have on hand, dodge rolling and / or blocking to mitigate damage
Elder: finewood bow with fire arrows, troll armor, some materials to put fires on the ground, if you want to go melee I would advice shield and either knife or mace
Bonemass: iron mace and a shield to your liking, iron armor and a anti poison mead or root armor (anti poison is baked into the set)
Moder: draugr fang with obsidian arrows, melee weapon of choice, I enjoy the knife since it is fast and you can lunge, wolf armor or fenris
yagluth: anti fire wine and padded armor or fenris armor, silver sword / frostner or any of the plains weapons you are comfortable with and Draugr fang with frost arrows for some extra damage while ranged
Queen: ember staff, staff of protection and the dead raiser, eitr weave armor, just keep moving around, shielding when it drops or is shattered, take out the extra mobs with ember and provide distractions with the skeletons.

[native quartz]

that and food and meads(for bronze and beyone)

[steep tusk]

Eikthyr: Any weapon and dodgerolling.
Elder: Any weapon and dodgerolling.
Bonemass: Any weapon and dodgerolling.
Moder: Any weapon and dodgerolling.
Yagluth: Any weapon and dodgerolling.
Queen: Any weapon and dodgerolling.

😉

[native quartz]

can i use them dwarve tower as second home?

[steep tusk]

If you kill all the dverger, sure.

[small nest]

i have never been in mistlands, does root harnesk provide any use instead of padded chestplate?

[willow raft]

Yes, seekers the mob you encounter the most does pierce damage as do ticks.
It isn't a good idea using it against a gjall since you are vulnerable to fire if you wear it, unless you are good at dodging the incoming fireballs.

[small nest]

are meads enough to counter gjalls attacks?

also are mistlands high difficulty jump like black forest -> swamp?

[hollow mantle]

Yes, resistance overrides weakness.

[subtle parrot]

Kinda, the curve for swamp feels harsher imo though

[hollow mantle]

Low visibility and high verticality makes Mistlands… I wouldn’t say significantly harder… but… certainly more challenging, than any of the previous biomes. It is quite a step up.

[small nest]

alright, many thanks y'all

[native quartz]

they are done

[willow raft]

Mistlands gets a whole lot easier once you get the feather cape.
Till then it is indeed a big step up but the swamp is more jarring since it is the first time you get a difficulty spike.

[small nest]

how about mistlands -> ashlands, is it also hurtful?

[hollow mantle]

Don’t worry about the Ashlands yet. But, yes, it’s another step up.

[willow raft]

Mistlands --> ashlands is a whole other magnitude of fuck what is going on here.
Make sure to take a whole lot of stone with you so you can quickly heighten some earth when you land and build a portal asap.
Next update it should get a bit easier since they will be tweaking spawn numbers again.

[small nest]

oh, ill have lots of fun, thanks for info

[ember sluice]

mistlands was a big spike for me. it took me awhile to get used the movement and attack patterns of enemies

[vale rose]

Mistlands is proving quite problematic for me

[supple shore]

hey i just cleared my first fortress, is melee magic viable w/o magic armor?

i just made flametal armor + shield

but i wanna use the trollstav or wildstaff cause it looks cool

does hp hp eitr food work?

[sand onyx]

how do i stay motivated playing valheim?

cus whenever i have to grind like a lot

it gets super boring

[steep tusk]

Sounds like this isn't your game 🤷‍♂️ (and there is NOTHING wrong with that)

The game is about grinding. So if you don't like grinding, it isn't going to be for you.

[subtle parrot]

Use the world modifiers to increase resource rate or turn on no build cost. Or both. Whichever you want. Otherwise, what sevrahn said.

[subtle parrot]

Sure but you're really limiting your stamina for melee

It'll work though

[serene yarrow]

theres a command that raises your skill, my question is, is there a command that reduces your skill?

[serene yarrow]

grind with friends

[lilac coyote]

resetskill sets it to zero.

[serene yarrow]

thank you!!

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Commands for a list of all of the commands.

[iron quiver]

why does my game crash when i make a completely new world and try and join it? This is happening in vanilla with 0 mods just -console in the launch options

[lilac coyote]

Crash or you get 'program is not responding'?

[iron quiver]

Yes

[lilac coyote]

I gave you two options.

[iron quiver]

Well i get the blue windows cursor loading, then i click once and goes to not responding

[lilac coyote]

Ah, then you just need to be patient. It can take a few minutes the first time round.

[iron quiver]

tried it with 3 different worlds now, and my 500~ days world that i made right around ashlands launch still works fine today

[shut holly]

windows problems

[sand onyx]

they dont wanna grind with me😔

[lilac coyote]

Not remotely, the game is just rebuilding the map.

[steep tusk]

Good thing it's a single-player game.

[sand onyx]

yup

[shut holly]

the not responding dialog is a windows thing

[sand onyx]

do yall got any tips on how to make valheim more fun?

[lilac coyote]

MORE fun? It's great fun already.

[steep tusk]

See my initial reply about this not being a game for you.

[iron quiver]

idk i just listen to dnb whenever im slaving away in the crypts for iron or on the millionth run for finewood cause we always run out of it

[sand onyx]

i love valheim tho

[steep tusk]

But you don't.

If you did, you wouldn't think it needs to be more fun. Nor would you find it boring and need outside motivation.

[sand onyx]

damn

[iron quiver]

so if my game looks like this i just gotta wait?

[steep tusk]

Which, as I said, is completely fine.
Not everything is for everyone.

[lilac coyote]

Yep, for a few minutes. It'll only be necessary for the first time.

[shut holly]

just wait, the world is generating and sometimes it takes a while. if your mouse doesn't freeze, the game isn't frozen, and if it doesn't stop and kick you back to desktop, that's not a crash. the first time you load a new world can take up to 10 minutes

[steep tusk]

Life skill to being happier is knowing when to move on instead of trying to force it.

[iron quiver]

You guys know of world modifiers right? Just increase the resources slider and do the all items for portal to skip the grindig part

[lilac coyote]

It was suggested an hour ago.

[iron quiver]

oh xd

Ah it did load in, tyty! I just feel like i didnt have to wait like this when i made the world we are playing in atm so found it weird

[lilac coyote]

No, you wouldn't. It's because the game has been updated.

[iron quiver]

Since the big ashlands update?

[sand onyx]

does anyone know why metals cant be teleported? is there any lore behind it or whut

[steep tusk]

Game balance.

[iron quiver]

Or just general direction the devs wanted, ships would be quite uesless if you could port ores from the get go

[steep tusk]

Which is part of balance..

[sand onyx]

tyty

[lilac coyote]

And of course you can change that if you really don't want to do it.

[sand onyx]

if you do the the stone portal is jus useless?

[lilac coyote]

Well, yes, but that's your choice.

[sand onyx]

okok tyty

[shut holly]

stone portal also doesn't burn

[winter crag]

anyone got any tips?

i can never get further than swamp boss

[sand onyx]

me too

[shut holly]

don't rush, tame stuff, upgrade gear, roll dodge

[winter crag]

i feel like i can do that

[shut holly]

what are you running into that you can't get past?

[winter crag]

wait is iron post swamp boss? its not right? its post elder

[winter crag]

i guess the boss, and kinda maintaining interest to get far enough

[lilac coyote]

Iron is in the swamp biome.

[winter crag]

i know

[lilac coyote]

Then why did you ask the question?

[hardy veldt]

i put mead in the fermenter at 1:07 if i dont sleep will it be done at 2:07?

[shut holly]

explore more? i tend to put off swamp boss a little. i do everything that doesn't need silver beforehand, get all my benches/gear maxed, tame wolves, build a good base with stone walls, etc. with proper gear and supplies he's not too difficult..

[winter crag]

what does taming wolves do?

[lilac coyote]

Makes them tame. So they'll follow you and defend you.

[iron quiver]

or breed them then slaughter for more food

[winter crag]

thats cool

[shut holly]

you know you can build more than one fermenter...

[lilac coyote]

That would be a massive waste.

[hardy veldt]

i did

[shut holly]

I've never had an issue waiting for mead like you do. make several, start more mead before you run out, do other things while it's fermenting

[hardy veldt]

ok so my friend was fighting in the black forest and he was poisoned by a shaman at 10 hp and i had to make some mead for him to drink as soon as he gets back in the game the poison wont go away because were playing with server characters mod which keeps all buffs/debuffs when you log out

[shut holly]

imean like. an hour sounds about right? but tbh I'm not even sure because it's always done before i need it. i make mead like i add wood to fires. not when it runs out, but between other tasks

[subtle parrot]

Same

[shut holly]

I'm not even sure poison mead will help? poison mead effects new poison damage taken after drinking the mead...

[hardy veldt]

im brewing some health

[iron quiver]

Honestly in my playthrough we slept on meads for sooo long but they are so helpful. Having that extra stamina potion can save your ass quite a lot of times and so can the health one

[steep tusk]

Tasty Mead is the uncontested best mead in the game.

[true steeple]

I’ve never used it in combat, I just use it for drinking from a tankard without losing a more valuable mead

[steep tusk]

There isn't a more valuable mead 🤷‍♂️

[true steeple]

Isn’t tasty mead just berries?

[steep tusk]

And honey, yes.

[small nest]

do a challenge. ive seen a couple of youtube such as pacifist runs etc. these make the game feel different because you play like you would never

oh and its sometimes about the phase for the game

[hollow mantle]

Do people combine Tasty with one of the Health ones?

[steep tusk]

Carry both, yes.
But don't use the HP pot during the 10s Tasty window.

And don't use Tasty during the 10s HP pot window.

[hollow mantle]

Don't stack?

[steep tusk]

Counter-act.

Tasty is the most powerful stamina regen in the game, but it nukes your HP regen during the window.

So you just make sure you don't overlap the 2 and you're golden.

[hollow mantle]

right, that's why I was wondering if people use them together

[steep tusk]

People who don't know how to read probably do 🤷‍♂️

[hollow mantle]

Because -50% HP regen is pretty brutal

[small nest]

can you... like... tame and breed wolves with their own meat? just curious

[hollow mantle]

Well, I know using lingering blocks like types, but does using a HP mead, whilst using Tasty, not offset the -50% somewhat?

[buoyant peak]

Nope

[steep tusk]

If you use them in the same window, you're nerfing the healing from the HP pot by half, so why would you do that?

Lingering Stamina does not block Tasty though, which is another reason Tasty is supreme.

[small nest]

good to know it would be quite weird

[winter crag]

do you have tips for taming wolves pre silver?

[hollow mantle]

Half some extra HP regen is better then no extra HP regen. Like maybe don't do it routinely, but in an emergency?

[steep tusk]

Ok... context of "emergencies" is different than "Do people do this?"

[hollow mantle]

Yeah, I was starting broad to cover all possible use cases.

[shut holly]

don't wear full iron. I'm using helm and legs, root chest. this way you can run fast enough to not get hit. eat good foods. i just use a small stone pen just outside mountains with a jump-up at the far end. drop meat in there before you pull one. i lead them in, jump up out of their reach, turn around and drop a 4x2 stone wall to lock them in. i keep a stonecutter up to repair walls and block spawns, and a portal there/near, but no other base structures so i don't get raids while they're taming.

[winter crag]

tbh i just use pure root

[shut holly]

that's probably fine during the day, maybe for a 1star. or if you're really good at not getting hit. if you're trying for starred wolves i recommend at least iron helm or you have no wiggle room for getting bit. just don't use all 3 iron pieces or you can't outrun them. serpent stew is my plan for the 2star quest, just in case.

[winter crag]

right

[winter crag]

do they follow you through portals?

[hollow mantle]

They do not.

[shut holly]

nope

[winter crag]

rip

[shut holly]

tbh that would be insanely op

[hollow mantle]

You can get them on a boat, but it's risky and not simple.

[winter crag]

what about crypts and stuff

[hollow mantle]

Nope

[winter crag]

oh

[shut holly]

i have moved 2stars halfway across the world, but it's a project. ran them across the big landmasses, tried to keep boating to one-daytime lengths to avoid serpents

if there are mountains near your destination it might be easier to tame new ones depending on what's between here and there

[small nest]

how to get those tar balls out of tar? is there any way?

[steep tusk]

Drain the tar pit.

[small nest]

like mine around it?

[steep tusk]

I believe in your ability to solve the puzzle.

[small nest]

i will use my brain this time

[tulip tartan]

i finished my wall, and i'm ready for the elder, what's after him?

[hollow mantle]

Swamps

[tulip tartan]

what direction is that

or at least, how far is it

[lilac coyote]

Out. Biomes increase as you go out from centre.

[hollow mantle]

Could be any direction, but generally away from the centre of the world (where you are first dropped in and the Forsaken altar is).

[tulip tartan]

it'd be funny if you were put in a random biome at the start of the game

[hollow mantle]

funny ridiculous maybe

[lilac coyote]

It would ruin the game entirely.

[tulip tartan]

straight into the ashlands the moment you start lmao

[lilac coyote]

Noone would play for more than half an hour.

[tulip tartan]

you dont know that, it seems like a fun challenge for bored people

i'd do it if i already finished the game

[hollow mantle]

you would literally die. over and over.

[tulip tartan]

nuh uh

[hollow mantle]

yuh uh

[lilac coyote]

That's not a challenge, it's impossible.

[tulip tartan]

nuh uh

[hollow mantle]

have you been to the Ashlands?

[tulip tartan]

no

[hollow mantle]

The question was rhetorical.

[tulip tartan]

but i know if you were put into a random biome at the start of the game it'd be fun

maybe start off with a lil wood

[hollow mantle]

Have you seen anything past the Black Forest?

[lilac coyote]

You don't know that as you've not played all the biomes.

[hollow mantle]

Mountains, Mistlands, and Ashlands will kill you very quickly. Plains too probably.

[tulip tartan]

fair but it's still fun

i wanna see how long somebody with starter gear could survive in somewhere like that

[lilac coyote]

3 seconds.

It wouldn't be fun. At all.

The literal ENVIRONMENT will kill you, never mind the mobs.

[tulip tartan]

i dunno about all that

[lilac coyote]

I know. That's why we're telling you.

[hollow mantle]

No, you don't know. That's the point we're making.

[tulip tartan]

maybe get someone with like 1000 hours and give em a shield and a club

easy peasy

[lilac coyote]

At this point you're just trolling.

[hollow mantle]

Come back to us in 1000 hours, and 5 more biomes, time...

[tulip tartan]

maybe a bow

couple wooden arrows

[lilac coyote]

How will that stop you catching fire? Or freezing?

[tulip tartan]

parry the cold obv

[fringe sundial]

Why not enable devcommands and drop yourself in the ashlands with the "goto" command?

With only the gear mentioned, like a club or bow.

[mellow lodge]

magic missle the darkness

[supple shore]

what about hp stamina eitr?

or is that spreading too thin for melee?

[fringe sundial]

Usually a 3 way split for foods isn't recommended.

[real nebula]

I mean it's doable

[supple shore]

yeah but i wanted to try some magic

[real nebula]

My early Ashlands was all balanced ESH, heavy use of fire staff and arbalest

[supple shore]

cause im playing on Hard and getting one tapped but when I got a bubble shield on i can spam it

and block at least one hit

[real nebula]

Oh, can't speak for higher difficulties

Probably want more HP

[supple shore]

true q.q

[real nebula]

HHE would be doable, gives enough eitr to use magic a decent amount

[supple shore]

yeah just worried that heavy armor stamina isnt gonna work

[fringe sundial]

I know on normal, I needed a HHS build to tank seekers with one other person close by(who was the Mage of our 2party).

Stared seekers*

[supple shore]

yeah im HHS with heavy armor and get two tapped by melee skellies in ashlands if i dont block

obv hard mode plays a part

[fringe sundial]

Sounds about right. Hard difficulty scares me.

[supple shore]

getting this far was hard too q.q

[fringe sundial]

Apropos to the settings 😋

[lilac coyote]

Apropos?

[fringe sundial]

Yes, that.

Phonetic spelling is bad when auto correct doesn't assist.

[maiden verge]

Honestly on hard mode I don't even try to block or parry, just dodge, kite, etc. It is easier because you are just as likely to get staggered due to the increased damaged on hard mode. There are great videos of just going full mage in ashlands with feather cape and use the jump cast. Makes even the ashlands easy mode once you have the gear and you spend a little time leveling your skills to make sure your prot bubble can take a full hit on hard mode. Fader was a joke in full mage gear even on hard mode. Way more challenging when doing melee on hard mode for sure especially in ashlands.

[small nest]

very hard players crying in the corner 🌚

[harsh sequoia]

found the southern most mountain, with the shallowest waterway path, raised terrain as far as I could go. Longship trip through the ashlands water, naked with only a hammer, created an iron grate highway at the top of the jagged rocks, to enter Ashlands without having killed the Queen, on Hard. No placement cost made it less infuriating, but surprised how easy it was to complete.

[visual garnet]

Is there a way to turn off auto-pickup of Wood?
Somehow my character is not auto-looting wood anymore :/

[subtle parrot]

It's definitely hard in the ashlands on very hard, that was my first experience there cause I forgot to change the world modifier on the world I went into on the ptb, put it on hard and was much more manageable, but I mostly ran around with 3 hp foods bonemass for extremely bad situations, though since I was doing melee I still died a lot. But once I got the mats for the gear and the new weapons, I still died a lot but that's mostly cause I'm just bad lol still managed everything other than going after the boss, haven't gotten around to it and taking a break for a bit before starting a new world to run on hard

[subtle parrot]

Yes, there is a button for that, are you on pc or xbox?

[visual garnet]

PC

[subtle parrot]

Try v

[visual garnet]

Ah that worked! Thank you!

[queen bloom]

HI everyone. i am a server admin and people is triying to just build things. but i think they are hitting or the max altittude or the structure is not that strong. Is there any way to change a key so it is easier to just build without worrying that much about structure? the red thing happening when is too tall

[fringe sundial]

If there is a way to turn off structural integrity, it would be through mods or developers console. The exact details, I don't know, but I have seen others ask.

[queen bloom]

i have not experience on mods to be honest. do the server and client needs them?

and i will search for structural integrity in discord, maybe i can find something

[formal stag]

hello, I have a friend who is the server admin and he cannot give me an admin on his server how can I do this?

[fringe sundial]

That would be a good question to ask here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[fringe sundial]

#mods-discussion message is one conversation about mods removing building limits/structural integrity

[subtle hawk]

Found this world modifiers on Reddit. Does anybody knows what "value" should be for normal?
P.S. it's not normal or default

[buoyant peak]

Probably because you could just use setworldmodifier Default

[subtle hawk]

Doesn't it resets to basic settings that I've put at the beggining?

[buoyant peak]

For resources just using setkey 100 should be enough

[buoyant peak]

I assume it resets everything to default values yes

[subtle hawk]

And my basic setting are veryhard, well...

[kind sand]

does someone have a good video, maybe with key inputs shown, how to do the combos?

[steep tusk]

What combos?

[kind sand]

the special combos

[steep tusk]

What special combos?

[buoyant peak]

What are you trying to do exactly?

[kind sand]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uivNFTELPu4&ab_channel=Pendragon

[frail cave]

think they mean the bugged animations

[buoyant peak]

Using setkey command might be a better option

[kind sand]

its a little hard to understand the explanation without showing what is meant

[true steeple]

There’s a bug with the player controller that allows a combo to have more hits

[steep tusk]

So they want an explanation of an exploit?

[frail cave]

i'm very familiar with the concept, messed around with it way before it was popular
but since they aren't actual features, the inputs are often very tight and sometimes inconsistent.

[kind sand]

i dont think its an exploit, per se

[subtle hawk]

I have a dedicated server and I am not able to change game settings in the actual game. My combat is set to very hard but I'd like to change it for normal

[steep tusk]

This isn't a matter of "per se"

[true steeple]

It’s definitely not intentional, whatever it is.

[subtle hawk]

I found setworldmodifier and thought it would help

[frail cave]

yea it isn't, there are some wild animation bugs to be abused, some of them are even extremely easy

[steep tusk]

If you're hitting buttons in a way to bug out the animation system to achieve more hits than intended during combat... that's the definition of an exploit.

[frail cave]

like holding secondary attack while spamming a key you have bound to a gesture like /challenge (not all gestures work for some reason) https://youtu.be/Uo3hSi0cBlk

[kind sand]

i am not sure if it is, since i am not glitching out anything, buy holding a button do i

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

[frail cave]

the animation system is very "quirky"

[steep tusk]

You could even say it is... Subject. 😉

[frail cave]

for a long time you could also perform the attack animation without dealing any damage of weapons/tools that have no secondary attack by holding both keys at once

but that was fixed in the mistlands update

[kind sand]

ok, if it is a bug, and has been around for ages, why hasnt it been fixed yet?

[frail cave]

not a priority

[lilac coyote]

Because its largely inconsequential?

[buoyant peak]

The difficulty slider affects three things: Player damage, enemy damage and size/speed

You could just set all of that separately with setkey command

[kind sand]

seems like that would be a priority number 1

[steep tusk]

Because game development is the simplest job on the planet and nothing about it is difficult.

[lilac coyote]

In what way?

[buoyant peak]

Putting all three at 100

[frail cave]

for an MMO or something where a universal balance is important, sure

[subtle hawk]

Cheers, didn't know that

[frail cave]

but this is a singleplayer game, you could literally just spawn in a sword that does 99,999 damage if you wanted, this is way more inconvenient

[kind sand]

if i can that easily glitch it out to get more hits and more damage, isnt that an exploit that entirely discredits the intended balancing of the game?

[lilac coyote]

No?

[queen bloom]

oh so is "dangerous" interesting. i will then avoid. I wanted just to increase like the value, not make it inifnity xD

[buoyant peak]

Enemy level up rate as well.

[buoyant peak]

It's an exploit that is...

1. Not easy to perform

2. If you do, then you can adjust difficulty accordingly

3. It doesn't affect anyone else but you

4. Due to all above, it's irrelevant whether is fixed or not. If you think it's too broken then simply don't do it.

It's a very, very small deal

[frail cave]

but that aside, i think the "extended combos" as people call them are done by holding the guard key and, instead of chaining attacks, pressing attack again during the very brief window of your character transitioning from the end of the attack animation back to the idle pose.

that's at least how i always did them

[lilac coyote]

There are MUCH bigger outstanding bugs.

[kind sand]

according to the video i linked, thnere are several different ones

[frail cave]

but speaking of patching these bugs, if i remember correctly, ashlands patched my favourite animation bug ...actually, my second-favourite. the first-favourite was patched by mistlands.
pressing secondary attack and dodgeroll at the same time with a sword. for some reason the animations combined differently for swords than for all other weapons, resulting in a much nicer move that's great for mobility...and damage...and survival. it was op, and the only reason i enjoyed swords

[buoyant peak]

And?

[frail cave]

there are many, i don't know how many of them are known to the public

[steel thorn]

@sand onyx what biome are you up to?

[frail cave]

(the first-favourite was the one i mentioned earlier - fake-performing a weapon's/tool's action/attack by holding both attack keys at once, if the tool/weapon doesn't have a secndary attack. it allowed you to drink from tankards without consuming meads (or getting buffed) and incidentally also prevented the slowing effect of moves, so you could run around at full speed with your legs completely stationary chugging mead, i miss it)

[honest cairn]

best set or equipments to kill moder?

[compact heath]

Draugr Fang bow and poison arrows as well as Obsidian or needle arrows if you have them, armor depending on playstyle and if you're not good at dodging you may want heavy (Wolf) armour. Best foods like wolf skewers and eyescream and either onion soup or another mountain tier health food, make sure you have an item with frost resistance on your equipment or use a mead, also recommend stamina mead and health mead, thats about it (if good at dodging you can use light armour like fenris or even root) you can also melee her with like a sword or something, a mace anything really) Moder is also immune to frost and spirit damage

[thin wind]

Has anyone ever had stuttery/choppy audio? The wind ambience is stuttering somewhat frequently.

[mellow lodge]

usually that's a sign of performance issues on your computer

[thin wind]

hmm, i'll see if i can monitor the gpu usage. I should be totally fine as i've run the game on worse hardware in the past

[mellow lodge]

sound would be cpu yeah?

[shut holly]

i would think so

[thin wind]

I am at 32% CPU utilization on a i5 13600k

well roughly somewhere in the 30-40% range

I'm noticing it's occuring more when i'm inside of a structure, not so much out and about

[jolly elk]

Has it always been that way? You can notice it in all structures or just larger more complex bldgs.? Would it be worth checking to see if a newer sound driver is available for your OS? And you could re-verify the game files in case some of your sound files got corrupted or something.

[compact heath]

I am at 60-80% GPU often with a 3900X cpu

[thin wind]

yeah GPU usage is between 50-60% with a 4080, that's why i'm uncertain if it's a performance issue but the utilization is kind of low for max graphics settings

i reinstalled sound drivers, no change. I'll see if maybe setting valheim priority to high might fix it?

[shy flower]

is there a thing where i can craft things in my inventory that you can craft by using workbench? im new

[shut holly]

most things need a crafting bench. there is a console/debug mode in single player that allows to craft from inventory, but personally i recommend playing through the game normally first

[shy flower]

alr thanks

[fringe sundial]

i believe you can craft some basic stuff like a torch and club without a bench, but not much.

[shut holly]

it can also be fun/useful to keep a testing/experimenting world/character and use debug mode, but imho it's really worth keeping that separate and primarily going through the game with normal settings, no cheats or mods

[shy flower]

yea me and my freind were thinking about doing mods then he said lets just play the game so thats what we gonna do

[shut holly]

did you just start playing today?

[shy flower]

yea

we have a good base we doing good

[shut holly]

excellent! i really like valheim, I think you're gonna have a great time with it 🙂

[shy flower]

we boutta go to the snow area ohh hope nothing scary happends

to get wolf cape

[shut holly]

you'll have a hard time if you skip biomes XD

[shy flower]

we did meadows,black forst, now snow

we stacked ngl

[shut holly]

it's kinda rough in mountains without going through swamps first

[shut holly]

do you have frost resist meads?

[shy flower]

yurrr

[fringe sundial]

info dump:
In general, each biome has a boss to beat and biome progress goes: meddows>black forest>swamp>mountains>plains>mistland>ashlands

[shy flower]

Thanks sir!

[shut holly]

do you have something to find silver?

[shy flower]

bronze pickaxe will that work?

[shut holly]

i think you need iron pickaxe. but also silver isn't usually above ground, so you have to locate it first.

it'll be worthwhile to find some swamps first 😉

[shy flower]

yea

i might have to mine the things in the swamps

[shy flower]

how do you beat the boss in the black forest i have the stuff but what do i gotta find

[shut holly]

he's not usually too hard, do you know where he is yet? you'll need ancient seeds to summon him

[shy flower]

Idk where he is at?

[shut holly]

and i recommend a wall around your base first ~

[shy flower]

we can kill the raiders no biggy

[shut holly]

look for runestones in forest dungeons/tower ruins, they'll point you toward his altar

[shy flower]

soon we will

we can kill like all mobs

we have teir 4 work bench just not the best gear

we at bronze all teir 4

[compact heath]

to summon you need 3 ancient seeds

[tidal bloom]

My portal says it’s connected at my farm, but when walking through I’m teleported to random spot next to my portal hub. Then the portal that is supposed to go to my farm says unconnected.

[late stirrup]

Is it possible that the portal on the other side got destroyed just after you went through it ?

Happens sometimes with poor timing

[tidal bloom]

No, I sailed back and the portal still says connected and both portals are intact.

And the portal at my farm says it’s still connected. Really confused, no mods or anything

[late stirrup]

That is indeed a weird bug !
I guess you could try renaming the portals, might be it'll fix it ?

[tidal bloom]

Destroying both portals and rebuilding fixed it

Would be a major issue if the location was further away from my base

[slow matrix]

Whenever im in the black forest and the instance count drops my game stutters really bad. Is there anyway to fix this?

[late stirrup]

I recommand you always have an unused portal at main base for such events ! 😉

That way you can kill the portal and rebuild it to link to unused portal for recovery missions 😄

[tidal bloom]

The issue is, I was able to walk through the glitched portal back home, so I had to travel all the way back by boat to fix the glitch

So if it had happened to one of the portals linking to a base across the world, would’ve been pretty annoying

[late stirrup]

aaaah wrong way around I see, sad indeed ahah

[tidal bloom]

Pretty much only issue I’ve had with the game over like 300+ hours tho lol

[tacit kernel]

What mod should i use to get increased inventory size and be able to turn rain damage off?

[hallow gust]

if you want mdos maybe ask in #mods-discussion

[small nest]

about instances, what are they and how much can get your game laggy?

[late stirrup]

Hit f2 to get some game data including instances.
Instances are basically loaded objects. It encompases build pieces, mobs, tamed creatures, etc.

A general rule of thumb is to avoid breaking the 20k mark because FPSs drop drastically after that 🙂

[small nest]

i get 7k in my base so no worries, thanks

anything missing for yagluth?

[late stirrup]

Meads ! 😉

Health/Stamina to be exact 😛

[small nest]

oh ok thanks! i always forget about these

are tasty helpful?

[late stirrup]

And probably more food, at least for two servings

[late stirrup]

Not really for a boss fight, go for medium since I don't think you have lingering at plain's level yet. Health is the really important one for those "oh shit" moment anyways 🙂

[small nest]

many thanks

[tacit kernel]

Thank you iI didn't see that channel

[small nest]

im heading to mistlands, bm sword, shield, padded greaves and helmet and root harnesk also best plains food and meads (stamina, heal, fire) is it good?

also is it safe to build with wood in mistlands? i want to make little camp to place teleporter bed and workbench here

[steep tusk]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[willow raft]

Should work, got the wisplight?
Wood is certainly fine to build with in the mistlands, I would advice finding an abandoned dvergr tower or even a IM entrance to make your camp in.

[small nest]

yea yea wisplight also, thanks for helping

[subtle parrot]

Silver sword is better for yag (he takes spirit damage) than bm sword imo, but you should be fine

Although you've already beat him lol so disregard

[shut zinc]

2 star Askvin hatchling - Green or Purple?

[bright hollow]

i got to silver age, what do i spend my silver on first?

[shut zinc]

Silver Sword

[bright hollow]

should i also get the shield?

also i've heard that there is an armor thats not the silver armor in the biome

[shut zinc]

yeah get the shield

[shut zinc]

Fenris, need to go to some frost caves for the final material to unlock it

[bright hollow]

i've heard in some yt video that its the best to stick with the iron mace and to later craft the frostner

[shut holly]

wolf cape first. cauldron upgrade. maybe bow. it's kindof up to your preference/playstyle. sword is good, frostner is good, armour is good, it's all good. what weapons have you been using most up to now?

[dapper atlas]

hi guys, we have problem with starting the dedicated server we played in 4 months ago , idk if its something with the new updates like ashlands

any ideas?

[bright hollow]

iron mace and iron buckler

root armour and i have a wolf cape

[shut holly]

if your clubs skill is a lot higher than others, i would start with frostner. but swords will be more relevant from here and silver sword is generally pretty good. the bow is definitely worth. shield will be worthwhile. if your iron buckler is upgraded then you want atleast one upgrade on the silver before it's consistently better. i like to make both wolf armour and fenris armour, if you don't like heavy armour's movement speed hit, atleast make the helm.

as to which first, depends on how you play. if you're good at dodging, weapon first. otherwise maybe shield/armour. if you use bows a lot, maybe draugr fang before frostner. that kinda thing.

i would make the cauldron and workbench upgrades sooner than later.

[bright hollow]

i got frostner

[main oxide]

i have valheim on steam my friend has valheim on xbox pc gamepass

how do we crossplay?

[subtle parrot]

Enable crossplay in the world menu iirc, should be an option there

Not sure if there's extra steps for steam..

[main oxide]

yeah but how he connect to me?

[subtle parrot]

Is there a join code when you pres esc in world?

[quick hawk]

@lofty orchid

[lilac coyote]

You need to DM that account to speak to mods.

[severe drift]

Does upgrading the trollstav do anything other than just increase its durability? Seems a bit pointless

[quick hawk]

i know, just so i can find it

[lilac coyote]

Huh?

[quick hawk]

dw about it

[lilac coyote]

OK...Weird, but I'll drop it.

[frank bobcat]

why isnt the sconce lighting?

[true steeple]

Is it too close to the beam above it?

[frank bobcat]

it was when i first put it, but i moved it a bit lower and its still doing that

[true steeple]

Could it still be too close?

[small nest]

spike, is it mistlands?

[true steeple]

It could be, get closer so you can see if there's any mist there

[small nest]

i have found mistlands closer, seems large 😄

[harsh sequoia]

I'm guessing a goblin tower roof.

[small nest]

oh i went here and i was met by 2 seekers 1 was 1 star and gjall

black metal weapons are strong they took out seekers quickly, i always thought they were "superior" like meeting trolls in bl with crude bow

ive got a nice screenshot of lox fighting gjall

[frank bobcat]

idk

[small nest]

one question, is it safe to travel through mistlands during thunderstorms? i hear weird noises during these

[fringe sundial]

Safe as any other weather effect for that biome (or any others for that fact).

[chilly siren]

Hey just wondering if its normal for chickens to be pilling up in 1 corner of their enclosure? It's making it very hard to collect the eggs.

[subtle parrot]

Yeh, sometimes they act weird like that

[chilly siren]

Is there any way to stop that?

[subtle parrot]

Not really, you could try slaughtering the adults and see if they stop but idk, my chickens never really did it luckily

[chilly siren]

Okay, thanks

[static salmon]

guys when u download mods like a weapon pack one do u get the weapons???

[subtle parrot]

Better question for #mods-discussion

[static salmon]

oh my god

[tulip tartan]

what's the coolest looking biome

[buoyant peak]

You are asking if a mod that adds weapons... Adds weapons...

And regardless

#mods-discussion

[small nest]

mistlands with no mist. my final answer is lands

[hollow mantle]

Make their enclosure bigger.

[loud linden]

Chickens and hens tend to move away from fire. I recommend having one enclosure to hatch eggs (with a fire), and a second to harvest eggs.

[chilly siren]

Alright thanks!

[loud linden]

Also, if you can, keep them away from your base walls. They'll get spooked by anything outside of the wall if it's relatively close.

[chilly siren]

They are far away from any danger

except for maybe bats I guess, but they've never raided this area

[chilly siren]

Moving the fire worked!

[bright hollow]

i got 0 sword skill and 36 in maces, which silver weapon do i go for?

[thorn spire]

frostner is pretty OP for the next while.

[late stirrup]

No questions asked frostner yup

[thorn spire]

the slow is super useful.

[late stirrup]

It's such a great weapon, even up to ashlands thanks to its crowd control ! 🙂
(althought damage is lacking then ahah)

[bright hollow]

Is it good for mountain biome?

Or should i stick with my iron mace?

Thinking bc it does frost damage and it makes sense that mountain creatures are resistant to frost

[late stirrup]

It is very good for the biome !

Honestly what makes Frostner so good is purely its slow effect, sooooo good. Especially when facing multiple mobs ! 🙂

[bright hollow]

Do i max it out?

[rare cargo]

So trying to join a dedicated Server, but getting disconnected and the server consol gives an error code of 4098, anyone what dis is? 😄

[late stirrup]

Also just checked the wiki but outside of golems the only other worthy opponent immune to frost would be drakes ... which you won't kill with frostner anyways 😛

[late stirrup]

Yes 😄

[bright hollow]

Frostner it is then, thank youu

[late stirrup]

Also for a more detailed answer, max it because you will most definetly use it at least up to mistlands 😉

[bright hollow]

Kinda sad there are no polearms made of silver, i love those weapons

I've heard that the black metal one is pretty good

[subtle parrot]

Makes more sense

[small nest]

so good it can stagger enemies in mistlands (with secondary course), also you get strong polearm in mistlands

[hardy veldt]

havent even killed elder yet💀 😭

[late stirrup]

Machine gun bowman I see 😂

[hardy veldt]

yep spent hours of my life shooting arrows at this shaman

[hardy veldt]

why is root armor set bonus giving +14 instead of +15?

[slender lantern]

game is just crashing when trying to create a server, for both me and my friend

[shut holly]

crashing, or windows says "not responding?" is it the first time the world is being loaded?

[slender lantern]

window says not responding, and yeah first time being loaded

[lone idol]

mine too, the game crashes whenever I try to enter a world new or old

[slender lantern]

it just keeps loading, and when i click it says so

[rough imp]

Its endlessly loading, and crashes if you click or tab out from the loading screen.

[shut holly]

ok that's not a crash, that's windows complaining that something is taking a while. just wait (you can click "wait" if you want) and let valheim generate the world. sometimes it takes a while

[lone idol]

the same is happening to me but I cant even enter old worlsd with old characters

[shut holly]

only happens the first time you load the world 😉

[slender lantern]

alright, ill wait a while

[jagged badge]

old world being pre-ashlands update?

[shut holly]

same thing, just wait. if the world was made before ashlands update, it also has stuff to generate

[sullen valve]

how do you make a moat deep enough?

because theres water in it i cant make it deeper or i drown

also will moats stop trolls? 2 are attacking our house rn

[honest cairn]

whats the best weapon for plains frostner or black metal atgeir or silver sword or is it something else?

[subtle parrot]

Build the edges up higher, and as long as you make the edges sheer enough for them to not be able to path down the wall they will stop at the edge

[subtle parrot]

Depends on how you play a little bit, I use atgiers as tools more than weapons, but they're good for staggering and hitting multiple enemies when you get mobbed. Both swords are good imo, and I personally use the silver sword until I get to mistlands including fighting yagluth the plains boss

[sullen valve]

what do you mean?

bad moat

[subtle parrot]

Have you made a hoe? With it you can raise the ground up using the stone you dug out of the moat

[sullen valve]

i got a hoe yes but it doesn't met me make it taller

[subtle parrot]

Or at the very least even out the edges using the flatten mode, which doesn't use any stone

[sullen valve]

OHHH i didnt realize the hoe had a build menu

[subtle parrot]

It has a build menu

Indeed

[sullen valve]

why bother making a moat if you can just make a tall stone wall?

[subtle parrot]

It can use a lot of stone lol

While digging a moat gains you stone, which can be used later for bigger builds

[sullen valve]

thanks. is this wide enough?

[subtle parrot]

Should be, they won't step passed the edge unless they slip in, which can happen with messy edges with little slopes at the bottom, so I would try to raise the moat to just deep enough to walk in and use the hoe near the edge of the walls at the bottom of the moat so it gets rid of the rougher edges. Much less of a problem with trolls than smaller stuff, but as long as the side of the moat where your build is, is clean and mostly sheer edges they shouldn't be able to get onto your land. But trolls can still throw rocks and the ones with trees can probably still hit those walls.

[sullen valve]

does that seem good enough?

[subtle parrot]

I think so

[frank bobcat]

how can i make that mobs dont swim around my walls and enter my dock?

[sudden glade]

I accidently spawned in a glowing mushroom in a creative world how do i get rid of it

can you mod a save with like a mushroom remover

than un mod it and play it normally

[late stirrup]

@sudden glade
I think you can delete any game asset with infinityhammer, or it might be those mod that allow metadata editing ... It is possible for sure, look up on goodle/youtube something like "removing indestructible game assets valheim" and you'll most likely find what you need !

And yes you can remove the mod after and game will work just fine since it's only editing vanila assets 🙂

[sudden glade]

ok awsome

so just drop the file into the right spot, load game delete evil shrooms, then save

quit and remove file, load game, save, and good?

[true steeple]

There’s a command you can use

[shut holly]

oorrrrr....just add more mushrooms. so it doesnt stand out.

[late stirrup]

Well that would be even better !

Didn't know there was a command 😄

[true steeple]

Forcedelete 50(any radius works) id
Replace id with the id used to spawn it

[late stirrup]

I'm guessing 50 is the range and it'll remove anything in range ?

[sudden glade]

ok so the id is the thing

[true steeple]

If you don’t add an id it deletes everything, adding an id only targets the specific object type

[sudden glade]

so like Forcedelete 5 GlowingMushroom

[late stirrup]

that'd be glowingmushroom for you 😄

[sudden glade]

EVIL

not glowing mushrroom, EVILmushroom, dang things

[true steeple]

Stand near it and use forcedelete radius glowingmushroom

[sudden glade]

alr awsome ill go try it. THANKS

[late stirrup]

Thanks for the command, that's a really useful one to know ! 😄

[true steeple]

The best thing to do is not spawn unused objects in a world you actually want to use

[sudden glade]

I just wanted glowing YELLOW mushrooms

[true steeple]

That’s mushroomyellow, it’s always best to check the wiki to avoid mistakes like this

[sudden glade]

force delete is not a valid command

[true steeple]

Have you used devcommands?

Also forcedelete is one word

[sudden glade]

im an idiot thank you so much

you just saved my multiplayer server, idk how I would explain a glowing beacon at our dock

[late stirrup]

ahahah especially since that asset is ... erhm. Big.

[sudden glade]

very very big

[late stirrup]

In case you didn't know btw, you can actually but the glowing shrooms on item stands too 😛

[sudden glade]

part of the reason I wanted them, im not really suppsoed to be using commands but im the builder on this server, I aint going into a crypt for asthetics

they look great in a lot of places

[true steeple]

But crypts are full of treasure

[late stirrup]

True that, I use them in tandem with other pieces to great effect !

One of my favorite trick is to make some sort of dead vine using the abomination trophies with some glowy shroom and wisp torches hidden 😄

[sudden glade]

but who needs crypt cores when you have sertlings or whatever the fire demons are called

[sudden glade]

dangg imma steal that idea

[late stirrup]

@sudden glade #screenshots message 😄

[sullen valve]

what do i buy from hildir?

whats worth buying?

[dark fog]

Iron pits and depending on where your farm is, the stam reduction gear

[hollow mantle]

Dress/Tunic and a Cap.

[dark fog]

Oh I just looked closer at your screenshot. You might not see the iron pits yet til you do her quest

[hollow mantle]

Maybe the barber kit and iron pit.

[hollow mantle]

It’s there. Second from the bottom.

[dark fog]

Ah, there it is.

[sullen valve]

according to the wiki this stuff only reduces stamina for the hammer?

also should i sell all the valuable stuff like rubies and that?

[true steeple]

It only affects building items (hammer, hoe and cultivator)

[true steeple]

Yes, there’s not much else to use them for and you can easily get more when you need to

[sullen valve]

what does iron pits do?

[subtle parrot]

They're basically fire pits

[gusty rapids]

this is the only boss place?

[lilac coyote]

Each boss has multiple locations. The vegvisir will simply point to the nearest one.

[hardy veldt]

what are the chances of my karve flipping in a storm?

[solar badger]

Zero. Boats cannot capsize

[fringe sundial]

#screenshots message would beg to differ, but it is extremely rare.

[honest cairn]

iron sledge worth?

[orchid vessel]

my game looks like this when i launch any ideas how to fix this

[shut holly]

what os, windows? mac?

[tulip tartan]

be honest guys, am i ready for fader?

[shut holly]

you'll need 3 full stacks of arrows.

[tulip tartan]

lmao

i couldn't touch fader

[hardy veldt]

i guess this is the upside of having bad internet

[supple shore]

root harnesk or flametal chestpiece for Hardmode

i have both but cant tell which ones more useful

[shut holly]

what, one for a whole playthrough, or..?

[teal shell]

What is the purpose of the sealed tower

[supple shore]

ashlands*

im in hard difficulty ashlands

and wondering which i should be using

[shut holly]

I wouldn't use root in ashlands, too much burning

[supple shore]

cant i just drink a fire res to cancel that out tho?

[shut holly]

hmm, did you just find the tower?

[teal shell]

Yea, I’m sort of new to the game so idk much stuff yet

[supple shore]

miniboss for Hildir

[teal shell]

Is Hildir an NPC

[supple shore]

yup for clothes

and some other things i dont remember

[supple shore]

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

[teal shell]

I’ve discovered 5 biomes idk if there’s more lol

[shut holly]

I suppose. idk, I'm not good enough for hardmode lol. if you're not getting hit it would work? but at that point I'd rather use ask, or fenris...

or embla

[teal shell]

How am I supposed to see anything in the mist lands wtf

[shut holly]

if you progress through each biome you get items to help you in the next. normally you mostly want to follow the sequence, meadows > black forest > swamp > mountains > plains > mistlands > ashlands

[teal shell]

Are they always discovered in that order? Also I have started my world and only made it past the meadows and black Forrest boss, about to fight the swamp boss. But I got bored and started exploring by flying thru the world

[sudden galleon]

the item you need for mistland you get it by killing the plain boss yagluth

[shut holly]

you can find them each all over if you just explore, but trying to do much in anything but the next ...usually doesn't go every well.

[sudden galleon]

yea u better do the biome in order

[teal shell]

I see, thanks for the tip I’ll stick to finishing the swamp, but my question now is how do you know when you have finished the biome completely?

Is it just by defeating the boss?

[sudden galleon]

or else the mobs can probably 1 shot you if you dont

[shut holly]

findnthe boss, kill the boss, there's usually an indication of where to go next from there

[sudden galleon]

yup killing the boss always give you what you need to start the next biome

[teal shell]

What do I need to do in order to finish the swamp and move on to the next? Do I need a bunch of iron equipment and then defeat the boss?

[shut holly]

i can't remember what hugin says about the swamp boss drop, but it'll make getting into mountains a lot more reasonable

[sudden galleon]

you need the bone from the swamp to summon the boss at hes altar

bonemass give you the wishbone to find silver veine

[shut holly]

basically. if you just explore the biome and find materials, you'll generally run into a runestone along the way marking a boss location. and generally the gear you get from the biome is best to take to the boss fight

[teal shell]

Perfect thank you

[shut holly]

the first playthrough is kinda just figuring out what's there, what works best for what, and what you like to use, takes some trial and error. as you get more familiar you prioritize/skip this-or-that next time

[teal shell]

Thank you as well, is it the withering bones or whatever they’re called?

[teal shell]

The only thing I hate with survival games is how long it takes to recover stuff when you die

[sudden galleon]

yup thats it i think you need 5 for the summon

[teal shell]

Thank you!

[shut holly]

imean you can always ask for pointers here or whatever, I'm just speaking generally

[shut holly]

ithink bonemass is 10 bones. either way they're not hard to find, and have no other use, so you don't really neeed to keep more than a stack of them. you can fight him again to get more trophies/wishbones if you want (you can take them into fresh worlds, or use trophies for decoration), but I've never needed more than a couple

@teal shell

[teal shell]

Hello

[teal shell]

I’ll keep this in mind thank you for the tips

[sudden galleon]

yup its 10 bone

[teal shell]

Is bonemass's power better or worse than Eikthyr

[small nest]

really depends on your playstyle, if youre running from problems and not much fighting, eikthyr, if you are fighting enemies and not escaping often, then bonemass. for bossfights bonemass power proves to be better

in later biomes (especially 5th and 6th) youll encounter highly populated places so bonemass shines there

[small nest]

in 4th biome, mountains eikthyr power proves to be better due to hard terrain

[agile moon]

Getting back to velheim with a new save need some progress recommendation from start to iron tools/swamp biom i forgot what i need to get in order

[subtle parrot]

Gather flint, and wood and stone, kill some deer and boar for hides, make weapons and tools with the workbench, kill eikthyr. Make the tool with his boss drop. Find tin and copper in the black forest and make new workbenches and tools etc, kill elder. Build a karve somewhere in there and find a swamp.

[agile moon]

Thank

[loud raptor]

can anyone tell me whether these are I's or l's?

[fringe sundial]

There is one "i" after "b". I can't tell if the rest are number "1" or letter "L"

Looks like MBlQVBiNLF. If you are trying to use the online map, follow the "what's my seed" link's instructions and you won't have to guess because the website will simply read your files instead.

[little tinsel]

Do I have to be close to the fermenter for it to work? I want to go explore the map while it's fermenting

[harsh sequoia]

Nope, booze will be ready when its ready.

[fringe sundial]

It should continue to work while you are away. It might take a second to 2 once you get back to confirm enough time has passed, but it shouldn't stop AFAIK.

[little tinsel]

nice thanks 🙂

[hallow gust]

also it should have a roof over it

[small nest]

is there any way to lower the spawn rates of big G's? they spawn more often than seekers

[void forge]

why i can't join to friends' world?

[mellow lodge]

thoughts on upgrading iron pickaxe? searching for silver right now. got a ding on my wishbone, and now there's a stone golem outside my door. i remember when i played before, fighting them with pickaxe... but i do have a max quality iron mace.

[thorn spire]

If you can jump on his head, use the pickaxe.

Otherwise I’d recommend the mace and your best round shield or buckler.

[subtle parrot]

Mace better, just dodge

[mellow lodge]

can max quality iron buckler parry, you think? with just average block skill

i guess i'll try later

[thorn spire]

Try it on a full stomach. At least two HP foods

Or just dodge

[solemn osprey]

You can make a lot of headway parrying then switching to pickaxe for strikes.

[subtle parrot]

Iron mace will do more damage

No need to waste time switching weapons

[sullen valve]

Whats this?

[subtle parrot]

Tiny swamp patch

[small nest]

greeny tree contains guck that can be mined with pickaxe, it will not be useful now, but later it will come handy

[tulip tartan]

alright alright jesus lord have mercy i just got to the swamp and i don't wanna be here anymore

after a 2 ingame week streak of not dying i died 3 times in a row to draugr and leeches

[small nest]

have you defeated the elder?

[sullen valve]

guys i was in the meadow between the swamp and the plains and i saw this mob that was laughing and it had a forcefield around it shooting purple fireballs

what was it? and is it from the swamp or the plains?

[small nest]

also few tips:
most of swamp enemies are neutral or weak to maces, clubs and similar, so note that
always have your rested bonus in swamps because of stamina debuff while being wet
never enter the water in swamps, avoid it
manage your stamina so you can run from unnececary fights
always have poison resistance mead on your hand

[small nest]

from plains it was a harder enemy which was buffed with extra protection from supports

these spawns in sort of "dungeons" in biome, these are on open land so thats why i used "", these will be important later as they have various resources

[sullen valve]

its not despwawninng. when i go through the portal its still there. what do i do?

i dont want to die and then it destroys my portal

[small nest]

lure deep into the swamp, it wont last long vs draugrs and leeches

you can also try to bring them to trolls but they might die quickly

generally get them away from the portal and then run away from them, they wont be quick enough to get to you, except the ballcaster if he is a problem

the caster is quite weak so with enough patience and dodging you can kill him

[frank bobcat]

if i build a small dock with wood will it rot like rain (so it would only damage till 50%) or will it get destroyed?

[small nest]

wood submerged in water will drop only to 50%

[tulip tartan]

of course

does mead take up a food slot?

[small nest]

nope, its a buff

[tulip tartan]

for how long?

and also why are necks called necks?

theyre lizards

[small nest]

ten minutes long, healing and stamina meads have 2 minutes cooldown, necks seems to be remade version of norse necks which were i think water nymphs? i may be wrong tho

[small nest]

is spinesnap worth it?

[subtle parrot]

It's cool to have, but I tend to use draugr fang over that

[lyric saffron]

Hello, is an option or a command in the console to remove wood damage by rain please ? '^^

I tested "env Clear" but it doesn"t work

[mellow lodge]

they are a made up video game creature. They can be called whatever the game developers want

[loud linden]

They're called Necks because they drop their tails as loot... duh!

[loud linden]

I suspect you'll need a mod #mods-discussion

[lyric saffron]

Without mod it is impossible ?

Because I play in multiplayer but they don't want to install mods

[loud linden]

The damage to wood by rain will never reduce its 'health' below 50%. I'm not 100% certain, but I'm confident that there's nothing in the base game that can counter that.

[lyric saffron]

Yes but the wood become very ugly after rain

[loud linden]

Agreed. We have resin, ooze, tar, royal jelly... surely one of them could be used as a lacquer...

[mellow lodge]

that's why you put a roof over the wood, so it doesn't get wet

[loud linden]

So... what are we making the roof from that we can't make walls and beams from?

[tulip tartan]

should i make a iron battleaxe or iron atgeir

i was thinking to make both since a lot of enemies in the swamps are resistant to pierce, but it costs a ton of iron

[mellow lodge]

the thatch roof pieces

[tulip tartan]

i love axes in any game i play, but the atgeir's heavy is too good to pass up

[loud linden]

Personally, I'd focus on the weapon style you're levelling over the resistances of a particular mob.

[lyric saffron]

yes but what if it's a small bridge for example

[tulip tartan]

understandable, but theres also the factor that the battleaxe has more base damage

[loud linden]

My point was - if we can make it as a roof, why can't we make it as a wall.

[mellow lodge]

if we can jump, why can't we fly?

[loud linden]

It's a weapon you'll only use until the next tier...

[mellow lodge]

i dunno man, this is a game, some of these questions are weird to me. maybe you could have this conversation in #suggestion-discussion .

[tulip tartan]

doesnt mean i shouldnt care about the damage

[loud linden]

But you should care about the opportunity cost of not levelling the weapon skill you'll use more often

[tulip tartan]

yeah, i guess

i'll most likely use polearms more often

6x stagger is really nice

[loud linden]

You solved your own problem 🙂
