[hardy veldt]

if they do i have to sail across the ocean for 3 dandelions

[true steeple]

Yes, only meadows. Make a portal to spawn when you can, so you can access the sacrificial stones and wont need to sail for dandelions again.

[hardy veldt]

how many do i need for the whole game like 20-30?

[lilac coyote]

NEED? 3. Want? As many as possible.

[hardy veldt]

what else are they used for besides spice rack?

[lilac coyote]

Minor and medium healing meads.

[hardy veldt]

ohh

thats big ill need to grab alot

[mellow lodge]

i just grab dandilions whenever i see them and stick them in a chest. ended up with about 4 stacks, and that has always been enough

[hardy veldt]

what else should i add i got tons of chest

[mellow lodge]

in my experience you can never have enough storage 🙂 i have.... way too many chests of boar meat for example

[hardy veldt]

my whole island has no meadows

so i have 6 boar meat left i think i should make a meadows base too

both my bases are in the forest

[true steeple]

Bring some boars into the forest to make a farm

All black forest enemies except skeletons are friendly to untamed boars

[hardy veldt]

skeletons got beef with everyone

[compact heath]

Some I have in my meadows & forest base: Tools, Fuel (Resin and coal for braziers), Overflow, Rares (Coins & Gems), Cores, Farming(carrot seeds, hildir clothes & cultivator), Trees (tree seeds), Honey, Smelting (Unsmelted ore), Dropoff chests x3 (unsorted to put away in a hurry to sort later), then biome chests for Meadows and Black Forest, Resources (Different wood types and flint and chitin and bones currently), then 2 Stone chests and one chest for normal wood, don't have enough fine wood yet for its own chest but maybe soon, Food chest (cooked), Cooking chest (uncooked it contains berries and thistle and such), meat chest (cooked deer and uncooked boar meat), Boat chest (1 or 2 karve materials in there), Old armour chest, Trophy chest - I'll check later when I'm home what else I might have forgot haha

[median tartan]

Hello friends, we are trying to enter with my friend, we enter, after playing for 1-2 minutes, my friend gives a connection error, is there a problem with the servers or is it us? We both enter with xbox gamepass

[hardy veldt]

jeez thats alot of stuff i dont have

[hardy veldt]

someone told me i should make a forest base and now i dont have any dandelions or honey

[compact heath]

you can have bees in the forest

[mellow lodge]

not sure why they told you that. Meadows is generally a good first, main base location. On the coast, usually. You do want a short-ish distance to the BF in general, for copper/tin. But usually in the meadows is good

[compact heath]

dandelions just pick them while you are travelling the meadows don't need that many a few stacks

[vestal idol]

i need help on my server me and my friend lost all our loot in a swamp

can someone join our server and help us retrieve it

weve been trying to get our loot for several hours

please hep us

[compact heath]

I would if I were home, wont be back for another 7.5h

[vestal idol]

okay 😭

anyone?

[hardy veldt]

this is enough to buy 2 thunderstones a meggingjord iron pit, a fishing rod, and tons of bait right?

[mellow lodge]

why do you want 2 thundersones? you want 2 obliterators?

[hardy veldt]

different bases

so yeah 2 obliterators

[vestal idol]

yo please help us

it would really help us

[hardy veldt]

@mellow lodge its enough right?

[mellow lodge]

i dunno, the wiki has the prices and what Haldor will pay for each of the treasures. you can go look it up and add everything

[hardy veldt]

oh rlly thanks

oh nvm i dont got enough i forgot about ymir flesh for a maxed out frostner

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i recently blew a bunch of gold on enough ymir flesh for maxed iron sledge and frostner

i don't think frostner needs very much

[keen glacier]

still need a hand?

[sweet crescent]

Oh boy what weapon to main this time?

[vestal idol]

no all good i got help thanks tho

[mellow lodge]

hmmmm.. what do you normally do, if anything? you could do something completely opposite to your normal style

[sweet crescent]

no like actually im not sure what to use

[sweet crescent]

ive almost always gone atgi for my first weapon

now that i think about it. i dont think ive used a short sword... ever

[mellow lodge]

sword has been pretty nice. i maxed the iron sword to deal with aboms, but now i'm distracted by frostner

[sweet crescent]

the frostner's pull is very alluring

[mellow lodge]

i was also surprised how effective flint spear was early. i had never used spear really

[sweet crescent]

tbh ive never actually really cared about a weapon pre bronze

most of the time i just use the crude bow or flint axe

[compact heath]

razor! care! 😛

flint axe is nice as though, spear alright too

[sweet crescent]

ooo stuff built in free build dose not drop stuff?... thats fair

[compact heath]

I tend to kill aboms with the bronze buckler level 3 and a fire geyser 🙂

[mellow lodge]

if you go flint spear early, you could transition to bronze spear. but honestly, i don't even know if it's worth to upgrade to bronze spear

[mellow lodge]

yeah, this swamp didn't have any fire geysers nearby, and i was pissed off

i channeled my rage (and all the iron i had) into max quality iron sword and was shocked how fast the abom went down 🙂

with 0 sword skill too haha

[sweet crescent]

i forgot the feeling of just running around early game picking bushes and mushrooms

[compact heath]

if you know their attacks they are soooo much less scary

[mellow lodge]

yep, i had just got the hang of their attacks

[compact heath]

when they were introduced in the patch, i wouldnt first go near them just used arrows, now I have learned what they do

[sweet crescent]

i might just cheat in a fishing rod some bait and the hat 😆

[compact heath]

its amazing the satisfaction of getting hat yourself but I think might not be possible right now? or is magma fixed

[sweet crescent]

i just dont really wanna go threw the super long time req to get it

[mellow lodge]

speaking of fishing rod, i just went WAY down in this cave, and see a stone golem. from the wiki i gather there's a fishing rod down there too

now i gotta run all the way back to up get my iron mace, since frostner won't cut it

[hollow mantle]

Do you have to actually catch a magma, or will just getting one suffice?

[compact heath]

Just getting it is enough

[hollow mantle]

Then it’s not impossible. Just rare.

[hardy veldt]

where should i go to look for haldor first?

like what direction?

[mellow lodge]

i have better success stumbling on him, than actually trying to find him purposefully. he's in a black forest, i guess

sail around a lot of coastlines maybe? i dunno

[sweet crescent]

hey so uh. wasnt the cool down 15 minutes?

[sly hinge]

Question ?

With Ashlands update was the enemy AI updated over all?

Changing the distance in which enemies hear you and how long they chase you?

[glad marsh]

can the sea turtle leviathans spawn everywhere? or only near spawn?

[proud hinge]

from my experience, they spawn just about anywhere

Is there any sort of way to automate the farming process for ||chickens||? The one I followed doesnt seem to work for me

[hardy veldt]

am i in range of where he would spawn at?

[thorn spire]

just sail coastlines in the range where you're at. you'll usually find one of his (three) possible locations.

[safe hatch]

Hello!, new to this amazing game so get ready for a lot of dumb questions, for now...

Is there any command to know how many times I have died ?

[tulip tartan]

this is getting absurd...

[mellow lodge]

those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump that up

don't stop until you have 5 chests of honey, 7 chest of boar meat, 4 chests of turnips, and you start to think you have a problem and need to get psychiatric help

[south dirge]

how do i update the new update?

[timber marsh]

what is this structure

[tulip tartan]

steam should update automatically, or it should be queued, unless youre on console

[hardy veldt]

watching serpent meat cook is worse than watching paint dry

[stable lava]

does upgrading the trollstav do anything else other than better durability?

[fervent fog]

is this cape supposed to look like this?

covering the face with a significant gap

[stable lava]

yeah i think so

without

with

[fervent fog]

ok

[tulip tartan]

what's the max possible max health

[hollow mantle]

325, I believe.

[lime drum]

Lmao I feel like I'm losing my mind, how to produce invite code for server so others can join????

[lime drum]

It's known in game as a "well". It is odd, but great campsite

[keen zodiac]

agreed, On most worlds I just found him while sailing for other stuff randomly, such as

• The Elder
• Swamp etc

But on a server we were looking for him on purpose and trust me we literally scavanged the whole map, deep north to ashlands, dude's nowhere to be found

atlast we found him a little offset to our route to ashlands

[worldly scarab]

I found people! Two questions. Can your characters play in different servers, without damaging their progress in the other server? I hadn't noticed differences between Starter and Funland, but kinda wanna be clear on it. Rena is crashing in Una's Funland, but Starter is my main play through. Secondly, characters keep what they unlock regardless of what server they are in right? I mean I get that they have to beat the bosses again, but that's all right?

[keen zodiac]

I believe they also keep boss progressions, like boss powers and raids triggering keys

[worldly scarab]

What about the server thing do you know for sure????

I'm thinking of adding my original gameplay my very starter character either into Funland, Starter, or make a Second Funland, but I don't wanna mess anything up in either server. by switching back and forth. @keen zodiac

[keen zodiac]

as far as i know those keys are saved in your character data so it should be the same with servers

[worldly scarab]

So having them all in both servers won't make the game melt down then?@keen zodiac

I've been mulling it over all night, since I started dealing with my one chicken... I kinda feel bad for my starter character :/ her name is Anjel and all.

[keen zodiac]

If you use one character in two different world/server it won't break the game, but remember it might cause item transfer from one to another. Which most server owners don't like you to be doing.

[worldly scarab]

They are my personal servers so that should be fine. I've been flying solo.

Anjel didn't even make it passed the deer boss. I didn't know how to beat it, when I first started playing. I didn't know the character was still saved, until tonight.

Figured I could use Anjel to look after my second Village ^.^, for the most part.

[keen zodiac]

I would suggest you to forget about what you did before,

start a new with no cheats and default settings to everything and try to complete the game the way it's meant to be played.

[worldly scarab]

~.~ I am on Starter, but I really don't want to do that on Funland... Funland is my build zone.

Don't you ever feel just stressed out and wanna just build?

[keen zodiac]

Start a new means, new world and new character

[keen zodiac]

Nope, the most satisfactory thing about this game is exploring, fighting and many more aspects

[worldly scarab]

Yeah I dunno that I'm mentally prepared to let go of 200 days of progress in my main server... Just to start over and do the same thing again...

[keen zodiac]

surely building is one of them but I'm terrible at it so I skip that part 😛

[keen zodiac]

why let go?

You can keep the saves so whenever you want you can just hop back in

[worldly scarab]

I don't wanna >.> do two default servers?

~.~ look Elder is bad enough on normal mode... So far I haven't even gotten him on Funland, and it's on easy mode.

Until I come up with a really good strategy or figure out a better weapon, since bows aren't my thing, T_T no more normal mode servers plz.

[keen zodiac]

he isn't that bad, maybe you just didn't found the proper way to do it.

It's all good, you just need to learn the proper tactics and you'll see they are way easier even in hard mode than you used to think about them before

[keen zodiac]

Alright, take it slow, you'll surely succeed one day, best wishes

[worldly scarab]

@keen zodiac Ty. I will get back to my normal game, eventually. I usually stow my gear from Funland, before hopping onto Starter.

.> It's less worry if there's two versions of equipment right?

[keen zodiac]

one more thing, ik it's tempting to use one character which you worked hard to acquire all the gear and skill stats everywhere but if you keep one character dedicated to a certain world/server you'll be able to learn more about skill management of the game

[worldly scarab]

I just use XD Rena as a crafter atm. She's got the lights I need. Haven't quite gotten enough materials to get the blueprints on Una.

.> Resin lights are freaking expensive...

[keen zodiac]

Have you been to the mistlands?

[worldly scarab]

No If I haven't beaten Elder, I haven't been to Mistlands.

I think the most biomes I've seen in one place is meadows, black forest, plains, swamp, and Mountain.

and that's on one land mass

[keen zodiac]

yeah lol, you should aim for it though,|| you won't even need to refuel light source then, you'll find infinite light source there aka Lanterns||

[worldly scarab]

good to know. I'm just glad she can make the hanging braizers. Rena that is.

Coal is much easier to keep in supply than resin.

[keen zodiac]

wait r u somehow thinking that specific characters (Rena) can only craft certain things like hanging braziers?

I hope that's not it
but if it's how u thinking than it's wrong, you can craft/build things if you unlock the appropriate recipe for that, to do which you have to gather all the required ingredients into your inventory for atleast once.

ig we better move this to DM or another channel, this is the help channel and we are chatting xD

[worldly scarab]

x.x maybe we should delete all of this. I really didn't mean for this to get this out of hand.

[keen zodiac]

no worries, no one will scroll up

just forget about it

[worldly scarab]

I guess go to chat >.> it's dead there anyway.

[distant wharf]

how tf do you guys deal with this

[buoyant peak]

Having weapons at all would be a slightly important step

[distant wharf]

haha if only i could manage to get to my grave

thats only like half of the enemies in that screenshot btw

[late stirrup]

Run in a circle and let the Morgen do the heavy work 😉

[distant wharf]

he's not doing any work. if anything, its the reptile dogs doing any damage

[late stirrup]

Running in a circle is important btw, you'll attract less additional mobs that way !

[distant wharf]

that really seems to attract more

i've been doing that, but i don't have enough stamina regen and i have to make huge circles bc of how many enemies there are

[late stirrup]

I've used that tactic pretty effectively, so you do you I guess 😛
Take a mistland shield with you when coming back for the grave, parry the guys and let the bigger mobs do the damage 🙂
The parry bonus works with friendly fire too ! 😄

I've been using Morgens very effectively to mine Grausten and I usually just go shield up all the time and it kills all other mobs. I rarely need to dodge anything. So I know for a fact that it works 😄

Just watch your stagger bar carefully !

[distant wharf]

can i get someone elses help

[true steeple]

Parry bonus multiplies block armor when parrying. Staggered enemies always take 2x damage.

[late stirrup]

Oh yeah you're right, messed up the two words together 😄

[distant wharf]

fuck this i'm just using cheats, this ashlands shit is just too impossible

[worthy thistle]

before you use cheats, why not just get a buddy?

[distant wharf]

he also lost all of his shit and rage quit for the night

we both died 20 times tonight, started happy and quit fuming

[worthy thistle]

ya it's a bitch, that's the hard part of it. you have a decen launching point to ashlands and materials to repair the boat on the way there?

[late stirrup]

Just lower the difficulty if this isn't fun anymore tbh, I lowered the skill loss because I was dying a little too much in Ashlands ahah

[worthy thistle]

well look at the ptr notes, they are. but don't you want to brag about getting there when it was hard? i'll join up and help best I can.

also worst case scenario you can save scum lol.

I can get you in there. I promise.

cmon man I did it solo I can do it with help. there is a trick to getting into the ash lands that a lot of people don't know. Just have to have me at the helm and listen I wouldn't risk my gear if I wasn't confident.

[late stirrup]

From the screenshot it looks like they were already mainland.
But yeah, he probably quit for the day, like his friend.

Can't blame them, death streaks are brutal in Ashlands 🥲

[worthy thistle]

can't blame him either. especially going against the ashlands. just hat seeing people go that far. to cheats. it hurts, there is an avenue to get to the ashlands and ... well i won't repeat myself.

hate*

well anyone else in this chat and looking to go to the ashlands lmk and I can take you there. Like I said i'm risking my gear too. I'll show you how.\

[distant wharf]

the issue is that all the enemies are way too quick, twitchers are faster than your running speed and warriors aren't staggered long enough, etc

[worthy thistle]

you know how to dodge right?

[distant wharf]

yeah but i can't if there is 9 other enemies behind me, i get dog stuck and can't escape

[worthy thistle]

sorry that sounded like I was being an asshole.

[distant wharf]

no i understood what you meant

plus most of these enemies are immune to lava

[worthy thistle]

ok so when you drop you can drop a portal. noones asking you to kill all the enemies, you land, then you run, then you run back and if you have all the materials needed you can drop a portal. don't get me wrong you are going to die but you are just trying to make a beachhead. that is the goal.

and all the materials to drop a sheilds.

[distant wharf]

the only thing that we've been doing all night is running to our stuff and running to the home portal, but we also risk losing our portal to ashlands

[worthy thistle]

then make more portals. The ashlands is not even remotely easy. make like 3-4. name them 1,2,3,4. and keep fighting and dying until you can make a mote, and then a wall, and then a stronghold. THAT is the way to break into ashlands.

it's going to be a fight no matter what you do but keep fighting until you can make in comfortable. send a guy into the distance that can bait all the mobs so you can build as a sacrifice. thats the ashlands, you go in with that mindset. it actually becomes very easy.

[distant wharf]

ok that seems helpful i'll try to convince him to make a better ashlands base than a quick stone shed

[late stirrup]

Actually one of the best spot for a portal is on top of those towers ! 🙂

You'll just have to look out for fallen valkyries, those will ruin your day ahah

[worthy thistle]

ya no lie it requires sacrifice to make a good ashlands base, have someone run naked to take the aggro. and you'll work wonders. watch out for those bone fuckers though. if you don't have a mote they'll roll right through your base.

[late stirrup]

By far the easiest way to settle in Ashlands is to use a conquered Fort, clearing the first one is the hardest task, after that you have a pretty much safe place.

After that, no running unless absolutely necessary, being constantly on the look out for enemies before they see you. Classic stuff, but absolutely essential in Ashlands ! 🙂

If swarmed, fall back, pop bonemass, play it safe. Use big mobs to slowly trickle enemy hp down. Focus on defense and big mobs will more than likely help a lot !

[distant wharf]

you are not helping, you do know that, right? you sound like you're using chatgpt

[late stirrup]

I'm not 🥲

It might sound obvious, but I swear it works 🥲

[distant wharf]

the emojis also really add to that kind of flair

[late stirrup]

Sure ? I guess eh 😅

[rancid marsh]

🍻

[hexed crest]

Has anyone else encountered a small glitch when mining flametal in the ashlands where your character doesent fully stand on the rocks and instead sort of hovers above a little bit and sliding around, this glitch has gotten me killed by lava more than once 😅

[buoyant peak]

Nah, you're the first one ||/s||

[late matrix]

So, I just logged in for the first time in about a year (634 lifetime hours) and within seconds my entire base just crumbles around me...

i had put my playing on hold until Ashlands dropped, and now a base i worked on for weeks IRL has fallen apart.

[last peak]

Hey folks, has anyone had issues with GPU utilization despite applying the most popular 'fixes'? Struggling to hit a consistent 50+ FPS on a laptop with a RTX 3070 and a Ryzen7 5800H. Both utils show ~30-40% in task mgr, no thermal throttling. I have tried everything, it feels like..

1. gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1 & gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1 have no noticeable effect
2. Exclusive fullscreen reduces my FPS (??)
3. Game uses the correct GPU (and power is set to high)
4. Tried Vulkan
5. Drivers are updated
6. Steam launch params -window-mode exclusive -screen-fullscreen -console enable fullscreen with alt+enter, but this reduces fps
7. Setting render scale to 5% will still not yield anything beyond 40 fps..
8. Fullscreen optimization is disabled

Are there any lesser known things to do to try and bring up my fps? It's not unplayable, but it feels silly that im averaging 30% GPU util and not pulling at least 50+ fps

Edit: Just noticed the pin. Checking it out now.
Edit 2: The only thing i have yet to try is the background RAM freeing program. Has anyone had noticeable performance increase from using it?

[fringe sundial]

2 things come to mind.
1: do you have your fps limited somehow/somewhere (like in your GPU's program)?
2: have you tried increasing the priority in task manager?

This help section isn't specialized for these kind of questions (more for simpler in game stuff like how to make a campfire), so you might not get much help here. Try some of the more specific help sections.

[last peak]

1. No, i checked everywhere (Nvidia panel & In-game)
2. Yes, no gain whatsoever.

Ah, that's fair. Wasn't sure where to post, and still am not. I will take it to the steam bugs channel perhaps. Thank you.

[subtle parrot]

Very common, it's being worked on by the devs

[fringe sundial]

Good luck.

[late stirrup]

Sadly if your base was too far south, map generation was changed a lot there with Ashland's release ...

There is something you can do to save that build however.
If you are playing on Steam you can rollback to a game version prior to Ashland's release. Then load an anterior save of your map.

After that you can use one of the mods that allow copy pasting builds (PlanBuild or InfinityHammer come to mind) to save that build and paste it somewhere safe.

After all that is done you can revert back to Ashland's update and remove the mod 🙂

Hope that helps ! 😄

[hollow mantle]

They’re right though. Once you get that first Fortress conquered, you’re pretty much set up. It’s still tough, but you then have somewhere safe to retreat to.

[late stirrup]

Thanks ! I can say I was really confused with that interaction ...

[lethal topaz]

What does dedicated means

[tropic granite]

The server will be on the global list and anyone can join (even not friends)

[lethal topaz]

Thx

[late stirrup]

@lethal topaz
no ? A dedicated server is a server dedicated to running a game, in this case Valheim.

To be clearer it's a machine whose sole purpose is to host a server. You can choose to make that server public or not 🙂

[lethal topaz]

So a dedicated server is a server you can join even if the host isnt online ?

[late stirrup]

Yes ! 🙂
The other pros are that they usually have strong internet connections, high uptime and better performance !

[lethal topaz]

Thx man

[frail cave]

I saw somewhere you could spawn giant fish but tried myself and am unable, did this get removed?
also, how rare are size 5 fish, I've only ever seen one

[hushed tapir]

today im losing coals, pick up coals from crate and they dissapear, happened 2x today, is it bug or smtg? using only 1 mod (craft from crates)

[fringe sundial]

If you mean size 5 fish as being giant, then yes you can spawn them using developers console(devcommands). Look on the wiki for how to enable it if you don't already know.

[late stirrup]

That's probably your mod then, if it's not updated it will delete from container and not do what it is supposed to do 😛

[frail cave]

I know how to spawn them but no matter what i try or what number i type it gets capped at size 4
afaik size 6 is meant to spawn size 5, is it not?

[hushed tapir]

damn, sad

[late stirrup]

I'm using a craftfromcontainer mod, some have been updated already, look on thunderstore or nexus 🙂

[hushed tapir]

looks like im using same mod

from nexus mods

[late stirrup]

Yes aaaand no, I manually updated mine when ashlands came out but didn't bother posting the updated version on either stores ^^

Nexus one might be out of date, I know for sure someone posted an updated version on thunderstore 🙂

[hushed tapir]

i put this mod just 2 days ago

but ok, i will check out for newest version, tnx

[late stirrup]

But if it wasn't updated on the store, it doesn't matter ^^

[frail cave]

caps at size 4 every time

[fringe sundial]

Weird. Might be that size 5 aren't coded properly and/or are coded different. I am at work so I can't help beyond this unfortunately. I will test it out once I get home though. Would you like me to DM you my results?

[frail cave]

Sure would be great, but have had this issue for a really long time, Ages ago i was building and just found a pike chilling on my world and caught it, the ONLY size 5 i have ever seen in 400 hours lol
basically lost the save ages ago and have just wanted my gorgeous display pike back but was never able to get it

[fringe sundial]

Will do.

[late stirrup]

Just tried it a bit out of curiosity and I cannot spawn above level 4 too eh.
Apparently we're not the only one because there's a few reddit threads mentioning the exact same issue. Alas no solution was brought up.

You 100% for sure used to be able to spawn any rank of fish even absurd qualities like 1000 before, as a funny reddit thread shows someone doing just that (and fucking up his save ahah). But for some reason it stopped working at some point ?

So all in all ... odd.

[frail cave]

the spawn command is capped to 4 because that's the arbitrary level limit for items.
the devs presumably just forgot about level 5 fish when they added that limit shortly after the mistlands update
(that limit was added in the first place to somewhat put a stop to people spawning in unreasonably levelled enemies and accidentally messing with their worlds with an enemy they can't kill without crashing the game (forcedelete does safely get rid of them, but that's not intuitive))

[frail cave]

Yeah thats where I saw it and pretty much went "tf i thought max was four" basically, went to try with no luck

[late stirrup]

Like I said you used to be able to spawn higher qualities, with the same exact command. Something changed since then 🙂

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/zifugl/spawned_a_lv1000_fish_how_do_i_get_rid_of_it_and/ < proof 😛

[frail cave]

yea i have a few fish blimp screenshots myself

[late stirrup]

If the dev limited it to 4 that is indeed a weird oversight ahah

For the record there's also a leggit removefish command for such silly situations now ahah

[frail cave]

ah yea there were a few collision problems with oversized fish.
i think the more objects they collided with in one frame, the chuggier the game would get, so that probably also factored into that decision to add a limit to the command

does that mean I cant find a naturally occuring pike 5 anymore?

because im 90% certian that I found it, and TRIED to spawn one to see, and couldnt

[late stirrup]

no you can find them, just not spawn them apparently 😦

[frail cave]

ahhhh okay

well im way too lazy to go back to an older version just for a display piece

maybe one day i'll find another for my wall

[frail cave]

inventory editors can still get items (and by extension fish) above level 4 yea, it's just the spawn command that was limited

[frail cave]

ooo okay

do you know of any?

no but it's probably not hard to find them on google 😅

is it a mod or a website type thing though like a save file editor, not sure exactly what im looking for

no idea, could be either for all i know, depends on what the author wanted to do

alright thank you

[graceful sand]

infinite loading into crash? how to fix?

[late stirrup]

If it is your first time loading a new map let it load and touch nothing, it'll eventually work 🙂

[subtle parrot]

Even if it says 'application not responding' it will work eventually

[sage escarp]

When can I wait for the game on ps5?

[lilac coyote]

Could be waiting a long time. There's been no suggestion the game will have a PS5 port.

[sudden glade]

can you spawn a fire geyser with commands want to make a collesium

[hexed crest]

Thank you!!

[desert flicker]

hello is there any way that my friend can give me a save of the world ?

[tribal wyvern]

technically yes, but he'd have to find where the world is saved on his computer and send that file to you, and then you'd have to put it in that same place on your computer

and that would only include the world save, not the character

[desert flicker]

yea and this is the part that we know but we cant find this

we were serching everywhere

[tired notch]

Are you on a windows computer?

[desert flicker]

sure

[tired notch]

go to AppData > LocalRow > IronGate > Valheim > Worlds to find your worlds.

[desert flicker]

u mean %appdata% yea ?

[tropic granite]

Same

[tired notch]

Uhh yeah, but you might have to go one directory back to see LocalRow.

[desert flicker]

ooo yea and now i got this thanks a lottt!!

[misty sage]

I didn't realize they limited the spawn command. Was that cause of the high level boars corrupting worlds?

Or did something else happen that increased the urgency

[frail cave]

imo the high level (any) enemies should've been the main reason, but considering that limit happened about one patch after the spawn command's level part was made to also affect items (and thus fish) it was probably the occasional problems you could get if you spawned a massively overlevelled/oversized fish too close to the ground where it would collide with a thousand objects at once.
but i guess most realistically it's probably a combination of both reasons

[subtle parrot]

Yeh I popped a level 100 wolf I spawned in one time just to see it, and it dropped so much stuff lol it was definitely an issue

[frail cave]

while the amount of health and attack damage enemies gain with each level is just scaled off of the base stat and thus increases pretty tamely, the drops double with every level. it gets very absurd very fast

[frail cave]

if the spawn worked with ANY item, does that mean you could spawn swords at like lvl 1000 and just annihilate everything or did the stats not scale that high

yepp, they scale automatically and infinitely

when i noticed that the next patch would limit the command's level, i made sure to spawn in every item in the game that is visibly affected by levels (including several that normally aren't upgradeable) at some arbitrary high level.
still don't have a purpose for them but you never know! figured i should take the opportunity while it was there

[misty ginkgo]

Is there any way to move berry bushes to a specific location for farming?

[lilac coyote]

Nope. You need to forage.

[misty ginkgo]

😭

[tribal wyvern]

if you don't mind 100% cheating, you can spawn them at a specific location using console commands, but again, it is 100% cheating

[safe hatch]

How do I cover the tip of the roof ?

[true steeple]

Use a cross beam

Also, it’s always best to have at least one health and one stamina food, don’t eat 3 of the same stat

[misty ginkgo]

Honestly, at this point, we should be able to replant berry bushes so I wouldn't care (I'd destroy berry bushes elsewhere before I spawn new ones in to make it like I "replanted them"

Does it break any achievements or something?

[subtle parrot]

There are no achievements currently, but it likely would break them later on in the finished version of the game. But I think someone else here said it will mark the character for cheating, but idk the specifics on that.

[misty ginkgo]

What does marking the character for cheating mean/do?

[compact heath]

I love eating 3 stamina foods for some situations

[true steeple]

Do any of those involve combat?

[subtle parrot]

"Idk the specifics on that" lol

[compact heath]

there is a stats command in the console and it has a flag, when you pull up the stats it will say "cheater" amongst all the other stats of the character

[compact heath]

Yes, bow and arbalest combat

[safe hatch]

Am I ever in a race against time in this game ?

[mellow lodge]

no

[fervent ravine]

nope

[subtle parrot]

No

[compact heath]

no, time is always om your side more like it

[safe hatch]

How do forest attacks scale then ?

"Wealth" ?

[true steeple]

Being unrested, out at night or left without food can be very dangerous, so it’s best to get back to your base before that can happen.

[fervent ravine]

you mean raids? raids in crease in difficulty as you progress. each boss unlocks a several new enemies that will attack your base.

[compact heath]

like crops you don't pick will not wither, they wait for you, raid events will finish after a certain time but there is no bad or good consequences for you unless you want to kill as many things on an event for loot if you don't do it quick, for changed world modifiers you could say you are racing against time sometimes like the no portal setting when you run out of rested far away from a base for instance

[fervent ravine]

anyone looking for building help?

[lilac coyote]

Since when?

[compact heath]

I saw one of the speedrunners use it on youtube

[lilac coyote]

Could be a mod.

[true steeple]

There is a stats command, I’ve used it
It requires devcommands to be enabled

[compact heath]

tells you how many deaths etc yes it does need them enabled

[lilac coyote]

Hm, well, that needs updating.

[buoyant peak]

In-game chat

[compact heath]

I forgot what you need to enter exactly to see it

[safe hatch]

last question for now... will my game lag if I start leaving too much stuff laying on the ground ?

[true steeple]

Items despawn if they’re not near a base piece (such as a workbench or campfire). You can build an obliterator to delete items, or store them in chests.

[compact heath]

if its in an area where it won't despawn, yes it will probably lag depending on how many things you leave, items will also consolidate like coal from surtling spawners will initially stack as single pieces of coal and if more and more drops they will turn into stacks of 50, but the more you have of things laying around the higher chance for lag

[sweet crescent]

i was wondering if i have any improvements to make to my cooking area at the moment

[safe hatch]

Awesome, Rimworld gave me some performance ptsd

[tiny violet]

looks cool. you might want to plan ahead on a lot of storage boxes within arms reach of the cauldron. eventually there gets to be a lot of ingredients and you dont want to be walking back and forth grabbing things

[safe hatch]

How do I do the unpleasant thing ?

[thorn spire]

either with a butcher knife if you're in black forest, or by turning on friendly fire.

[sweet crescent]

damn couldent get a shamen of brute trophy

[safe hatch]

Everything respawns or only the overworld ?

[tulip tartan]

if i quit without saving, does it autosave?

[frail cave]

enemies spawn randomly, only some structure-related enemies respawn.
mineable resources don't respawn.
most pickable items found on the ground respawn but not all (stones for example don't but flint does)
the yellow mushrooms in dungeons respawn but the enemies and loot don't (except in mistlands)

[frail cave]

clicking the quit or log out button? both of those should save before actually logging out

[late junco]

Do you guys recommend Bonemass or Eikthyr forsaken power to fight Moder?

[frail cave]

running and jumping don't sound particularly useful there, but she also barely does any physical damage until she lands.
i guess eikthyr could be useful for reaching her faster while she's on the ground? but then that bonemass physical damage reduction could come in handy depending on how good you are at not getting hit

[jagged badge]

I used bonemass, sword and board. the ariel phases were occupied rebuilding portals, and dealing with mobs

[frail cave]

yea i always use bonemass by default

[late junco]

K thanks

[tulip tartan]

due to a sick joke from the universe, a surtling raid spawned right after i tamed both of my wolves, which coincedentally is the same type of raid that killed my last wolf, fenrir

luckily only one of the surtlings attacked the wolves

[jagged badge]

I had a 2-star boar farm.

I was riding my second tamed lox back when i died, reincarnated and got a goblin raid. they got into my base via the path I set for the lox. proceeded to kill me, my first tamed lox and me again several times and start to attack my boars.

Call in a buddy. but they've broke the portal from the spawn point. We sail in to save the die. the second berzerker killed the last boar with his final blow.

I remade with a nearby 1-star boar.

Make the pen out of stone. And re-secure the pen but leave an opening so i can be lazy and throw in food. Go back to get my OG gravestone and tamed lox. Arrive in time to see it die.

go back with gear, Deathquito somehow made it in.to the boar pen I've no boars no hope and I''m pretty sure I'm about to give up on boars entirely

[tulip tartan]

that's way worse rip boars

[frail cave]

@frail cave Thanks for the help, just got home and tested it with just a bunch of random sizes, works fine

Also completely forgot I asked about the tools and scaled a flint axe to lvl 60 that now one shots any tree as a test hahahaha

by it by the way I mean your recommendation of a save file editor

honestly think i might use it to put things like my hammer and hoe to absurdly high level or just change their durability to something insane now ik that exists

yea that's understandable, repairing those while building is such a minor but interruptive inconvenience

Repairing tools i shouldn't need to has always been an annoyance of mine tbh, so i kinda gained a lot more out of this than i expected to, all to that fish I lost like a year ago hahaha, durability just seems to vanish sometimes when building bigger things

[sudden glade]

what conditions do surtlings need to spawn

the fire thing just wont spawn them

[frail cave]

if there's a player base structure such as a workbench, torch, portal or campfire (more are included in that list) within 20 meters of the 3 invisible spawners, they won't spawn their surtling

otherwise it's just a 5 minute timer

[sudden glade]

alr thanks

[sudden glade]

can I build a structure then remove workbench

[junior dirge]

anyone know a good place to get advice for a modding issue? I have mods that add more buildables but i dont have enougt room in the hammer menu to see them all. Does anyone have any idea for a fix?

[frail cave]

as long as the structure only consists of things like walls, roofing, floors, doors, seating, tables, chests and stuff, yes

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base here's a list of all structures that prevent enemy spawns within a spherical 20 meter radius

[frail cave]

#mods-issues might be able to help

[sudden glade]

thanks a ton

[tulip tartan]

what kind of silly goose would go to the mistlands in wolf armor

that is a goofball decision my friend

you will die

[modest yarrow]

With a root harnesk and iron buckler you can parry most seeker attacks (because pierce resistance)

Even if this fella is progression skipping he’s made poor decisions with his build

[fervent ravine]

ValeimPlus has lots of options to increase durability of tools or just set them to unlimited durability.

[old bronze]

Wait you can scale item stats with commands? O.O

[lost sequoia]

hello can someone help me.

I just started to play the game back again but I think my server got corrupted because it says that its missing meta file? How can I restore this?

[subtle parrot]

No, not anymore apparently

[brave sun]

Hail friends,

I was curious how to use voice chat when there are ten vikings playing at once. What do you all do, like multiple voice channels to jump to or does the game have a proximity VC. It just gets a bit chaotic with so many doing and planning different things in one VC.

Any tips and guidance welcome!

[subtle parrot]

There is no proxVC, I just use a discord vc if I'm playing with others

[timber marsh]

mods

[safe hatch]

How does the cart works ? Is theres thresholds where it start to get harder to carry it ?

[timber marsh]

the more total weight on the cart, the heaviear and slower it is

[dreamy wadi]

Don't think there's a certain number where it gets harder, depends on the weight and terrain as well

[safe hatch]

uh any tips xd

[dreamy wadi]

Raise/lower terrain with hoe and hope you can flip it by pushing on the side, i guess

[analog sphinx]

Just break the cart and build it again, nothing will be lost

[flint breach]

how come i dont have the third boat unlocked even though ive made iron nails?

[dreamy wadi]

ancient bark?

[cyan glen]

What’s the proper technique behind harpoon launching?

As in yeeting players

[late stirrup]

It's an elastic, so build tension and release ! 🙂

[smoky ether]

ive had a look online and searched here but cant find anything do I need to be near a lox for the taming progress to go up?

[late stirrup]

You need to be in range of the lox yes

[frail cave]

@frail cave Interesting update on that lvl 500 flint axe I had to test with, turns out parry knockback increases as you upgrade your weapon, parried a greyling with it and just launched the little dude into orbit

bit of useless knowledge seeing as there is an upgrade limit, but thought it might be interesting if you wanted to know anyway 😆

[buoyant peak]

Block force is explicitly increased per level, and it's shown in the item's stats...

[calm creek]

Hi all, I'm having an issue with my game not loading my character on selection.

The world files are fine, but my character isn't showing on the selection screen.

The backup files are visible, but nothing is restoring. I've tried to make a local copy of the backup and restored that, but still nothing showing up on character selection.

Any help would be appreciated!

[lilac coyote]

Did you use that character in the PTB?

[calm creek]

Yes, I still have my launch settings to PTB as well.

[lilac coyote]

Hm, strange. I know that PTB characters won't work on live but if you're still in the PTB it should.

[calm creek]

I just double checked and my settings had reset to the live, non-PTB branch and the character is back! Thanks! I'll give it a test.

I've swapped between PTB and live with this character before, is that not possible anymore? Thank you again for the suggestion.

[lilac coyote]

I don't believe it's ever been possible but no, definitely not now. Either use an earlier backup or wait until the versions are merged.

[calm creek]

Good to know and that must be it. Not sure why my game reverted to live this time, but happy the character is back. Thanks again and have a great day!

[void badger]

Hey yall, is there any way to transfer a world from the public test beta to the regular game? Me and my friend played on my world for awhile and switched to the public test beta when ashlands was in testing, but then a few days after we got off ashlands was fully released

I was just wanting to transfer the world back to the base game so we can keep playing

would I just keep the world file and put it back into the game once I go back to the base game?

[tulip tartan]

should i use flesh rippers or crystal greataxe?

[tribal wyvern]

the axe is super good, and there are better two handed axes later in the game if you decide you want to keep using them

flesh rippers, there is no upgrade from them

they're a major improvement over your bare fists for unarmed, but they're going to fall far behind anything else later

[tulip tartan]

valid, but my best stat is polearms anyways

i'm planning on going straight back to atgeirs after moder anyways

[sudden galleon]

you need to wait for the ptb patch you play go live then you can switch, if not you wont see you game listed

[subtle parrot]

Unless you made a backup of your world like you should have and then you can load that up

[void badger]

I did but wouldn't it be outdated I would have to redo everything I did in the Ashlands or no?

[proven rover]

How to create a server and play with friends?
If I'm offline
My friend can't continue
can anyone help me

[lilac coyote]

You'll need a dedicated server. Either rent one or host your own. The guys in #dedicated-server can help.

[proven rover]

THANKS

[subtle parrot]

Right, yes that would be an issue if you didn't want to redo some stuff

[void badger]

maybe

but thanks for the help

[sweet crescent]

i MIGHT have overbought bait

[steep tusk]

Impossible.

[sweet crescent]

i dont even know what fish normal bait works on 😭

[true steeple]

Meadows fish

Perch and pike

[steep tusk]

It works in the Obliterator as one of the best methods of mass-producing Coal.

[gloomy yarrow]

how do i brake the spiked door inside charred fortress?

without a ramming thing

[late stirrup]

Catapult, otherwise you can't 🙂

[steep tusk]

How do you break something without the thing that breaks it?

That's a real thinker right there...

[gloomy yarrow]

i hit with a pickaxe and it does damage so idk

[steep tusk]

If only there were a thing to break it that you weren't actively choosing to not use...

[gloomy yarrow]

bro stop it🤣 🛴

[steep tusk]

I do not understand why so many people think they are related to me. 🤔

[tribal wyvern]

rolling logs across the ground? those break a lotta stuff

[distant spruce]

Hello guys. Who's that?

He disappear when i come

[true steeple]

That’s Odin. He does nothing.

[distant spruce]

Just like easter egg?

[true steeple]

He just stands and watches until he disappears

[distant spruce]

Ok, thank you

[fresh eagle]

Question: Since when does the Queen's dungeon have a back entrance that doesn't require a key?

[true steeple]

Could you show a screenshot? I’ve never seen it

[fringe sundial]

I am not sure one exists, unless it was modded(?).

[true steeple]

I was thinking it could be an infested mine that generated too close

[true steeple]

That looks like an infested mine entrance, it generated too close to the queen

[fringe sundial]

Super weird. Cool shortcut, but definitely not how things normally go.

[distant aspen]

Can you hunt fishes in the game with wooden spikes

asking for a science project

[true steeple]

No, you need to use a fishing rod or get them on land

[distant aspen]

instructions unclear. Woodspikes are fishing rods.

[true steeple]

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

[distant aspen]

sigh

Isn´t fishing supposed to be peaceful. Why does it activate my aggression problem

ah fk it. I will just build a woodstructure under them so they will flood onto it and i pick them up

[mellow lodge]

some people have made successful fish traps that strange fish on land when water receeds

yeah, like you said

[daring kernel]

is it possible to make a dedicated server for free?

[true steeple]

Yes, if you host it yourself

[distant aspen]

it´s something 😄

[daring kernel]

how do you do that

[sweet crescent]

I WANT A FISHING UPDATE now!

(please)

[lilac coyote]

I don't think one has ever been mentioned.

[true steeple]

In the steam library, find the option near the top-left to show ‘tools’ alongside games and software. Find valheim dedicated server and install it. Right click it in library and select browse local files, inside will be a pdf manual explaining more.

[sweet crescent]

i mean even if we just got a few new unique recipes for some of the other fishies that would be nice

after all the only fish with its own recipe is the angler

[lilac coyote]

We've already got too many foods that give practically the same stats.

[modest yarrow]

Foods like that are actually really nice because you can’t eat 2 of the same food, and some foods are more expensive than others

[jagged badge]

I need to learn how to fish

[fervent ravine]

Anyone need a hand?

[mystic kernel]

Is there a way to load in a pre-built building that I can make my home?

[jagged badge]

My first home is always a ruins I just start squatting in.

[tribal wyvern]

with mods, yes

[mellow cipher]

I'm on a second playthrough with friends, was wondering if there is a way to alter resource drops/ keep equipment on death? Im hosing a dedicated server and i know there are dev commands in that vein but wasnt sure if theres a way to enable them directly through the server or whatnot.

[jagged badge]

Yes

There are settings on world building for all of that.

[mellow cipher]

is it the modifiers in the batch file? like -modifier resources number

[shut zinc]

In start menu when selecting world - resource modifiers - (1.5 x, 2x, 3x) etc puts almost all resources up to 2 or 3 times or whatever you selected.

[compact heath]

someone here right now with lots of raid knowledge?

I am getting raided by surtlings, if I understand wiki correctly (english second language) it says its not on until after Bonemass, is that correct that a surtling and BM has to be killed to trigger it? maybe someone on the server is sneaky and killed him?

[mystic solar]

Looks like someone did kill bonemass on your server, unless it is some mod affecting raids.
Maybe have a look at the personalised raid setting, that is really nice in a multiplayer setting.

[manic spade]

does anyone have any tips for defeating the elder me and my buddy have full bronze but kept getting ganked by 100s of greydwarfs and a 2 star troll but the only solution we can think of is building a big wall

[lunar dawn]

Best advice i can give is to have one of you two periodically switch focus from fighting the elder to clearing the mobs while the other one keeps the elder busy.

[unique verge]

Okay I just joined-- I need to know RIGHT now if theres a cfg that lets me keep my controls saved. Every time I update my mods list or sometimes even just load up the game I gotta reset my controls. Now even in vanilla it's just, not saving my controls. Is there a file I can set to read only and just, customize my controls?

[karmic trellis]

I'm not seeing a raft in the Misc tab of the build menu, even when I have a workbench next to water. What am I missing? Thanks

[fresh eagle]

ok wow that was much worse than expected and it wasn't a back entrance.... It was a second bugged queen dungeon WITH ANOTHER QUEEN and BOTH could switch back and forth between the 2 rooms but we could not.

@fringe sundial @true steeple

[true steeple]

Are you playing with any mods?

[fresh eagle]

No

[fresh eagle]

oh and the black area under the door is just open you just fell back on the map haha

[mellow lodge]

for every boss fight, i spend time clearing the battlefield of some trees and generally making a lot of noise to attract mobs to kill them first. Also good to scout around for any spawners, and you can drop campfires to prevent spawning

[open comet]

Is stagbreaker the best early mid game weapon?

[mellow lodge]

i like stagbreaker for specific things early. Smacking through doors in Burial Tombs and smacking through scrap piles in crypts

(Because you hit the mobs behind the doors/walls with no risk to yourself.)

[open comet]

Is it good for anything else?

[crystal kiln]

crowd control

[open comet]

Also what exactly do you need to plant acrons?

[crystal kiln]

bronze to craft the tool and an acorn

[open comet]

Which tool

[crystal kiln]

the cultivator

[open comet]

Ok

Is wheelbarrow a good storage option?

[hollow mantle]

The cart is good for moving heavy items around.

[spark gulch]

is there a trick in the ashlands to finding magma fish?

i have the correct bait equipped, but as i can't see into the water i have no idea if i am antwhere near some

[hollow mantle]

They’re bugged. They won’t bite. You may get lucky and find one on the shore.

[spark gulch]

oof ok that explains a lot

[keen glacier]

hell yeah it is - I keep a couple just floating around my camp, purely as storage. Its a lot cheaper than an Iron Chest 😂

[keen glacier]

Didn't they fix this in a recent patch?

[hollow mantle]

Don’t think so. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[spark gulch]

would make sense. i built a base on a lake and i think i saw one swim past my shield (only way I knew it was there) but 10 minutes later and it wasnt going for it

[inner vine]

I have a question about efficient use of portals:

• It seems like to be able to travel anywhere you want, each Portal has to be built in pairs of 2.

For example, say I have a home base, there would be 2 portals:

HOME
<Name changed to destination on travel>

And perhaps a Swamp base, with 2 portals like:

SWAMP
<Name changed to destination on travel>

If I'm home and want to go to Swamp, I change the 2nd home portal name to SWAMP
Is this as efficient as you can be?

[plucky halo]

You can do portal hubs. I have a multilayer circular tower with various common portals I need.

The other idea is to mark a new portal on your map with its name so you can quickly connect to it.

I also tend to leave an extra nameless portal at home in case I forget to make one ahead of time. Then I can drop a portal from wherever I end up for a quick trip home.

There is a very useful mod that allows you to select a destination portal from a drop-list.

[inner vine]

ty

There is a very useful mod that allows you to select a destination portal from a drop-list.
That seems like the best solution, will have to google this!

Found it, appears to be called XPortal

[plucky halo]

That's correct

[open comet]

Can I take a cart through a portal?
I'm trying but not successful

[frail cave]

you can't

[open comet]

Then how do I increase my weight carry capacity

[true steeple]

Use a megingjord
If you haven’t found Haldor, you could move through the portal while over your weight limit and drop the items on the other side.

[open comet]

🥲 I haven't found haldor

[plucky halo]

You can also bust the cart down. Items will be in boxes. Build the cart on the other side and carry stuff the short distance through the portal (max weight won't matter until you are out of stamina) and load up cart on other side.

Or, you know, just have another cart on the other side.

[full adder]

i have been searching for 2 hours and cant find any mountain that's biger than 5 sq ft. I cant even progress further in the game. I have found a bunch plains that have alot to offer but my world has like no mountain

might have to restart

[true steeple]

https://valheim-map.world put your seed in and this will generate the full map

[clear zenith]

2 hours seems unreassonable long to upload a mod to g portal server, no ?

[full adder]

english?

[subtle parrot]

#mods-issues try asking here

[tiny violet]

I think they’re implying that they would have immediately jumped online to a website to input their seed and see exactly where mountains are or where 4th boss location is

[open comet]

How many belt can I equip at once

[true steeple]

Only one, and it can't be used together with various other equippable items you'll find later in the game.

[sudden glade]

how do i place a boat on land

[old bronze]

Hold shift when placing it

[sudden glade]

thanks

[clear zenith]

2 hours seems UNREASONABLE LONG to upload a mod to G PORTAL, NO? seems like english to me

Yup

what the hell is g portal

[subtle parrot]

Server renting service

[timid skiff]

There is this annoying/distracting noise that constant happens while I play. It sounds like a 'rustling in the bushes', just to my left. It really puts me on edge. Any way to kill it?

[fringe sundial]

Likely not without coding/modding.

[timid skiff]

Also, is there an equivalent to this mod for server side? https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/2366

[true steeple]

Does it play every time you load the game, and definitely happens everywhere?

[timid skiff]

Yes everywhere, all the time. Ever since I started playing the game.

[fringe sundial]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 has a bunch or people who know mods well.all I know is R2modman, bepinEx and thunderstore. Most will tell you to avoid Nexus since it doesn't have a very active mod community in comparison to thunderstore.

[worldly scarab]

There's someone who asked a question in Chat that I'm not familiar with Leviathans. Anyone on this channel know anything about them to be able to answer him?

[true steeple]

Could you send a short clip so we can hear it too? This has never happened to me. You could try verifying the game files, although it’s very unlikely that will ever change anything if you haven’t installed mods or done anything to the game’s files.

[timid skiff]

Thanks I didn't see that channel yet.

[subtle parrot]

They're basically giant turtles in the ocean, you can get chitin from them for some equipment

[fringe sundial]

It's waaaay down there, so I don't blame you.😉

[worldly scarab]

@subtle parrot I know that, but I'm not sure how to answer the question he has, which is why I asked.

[true steeple]

What question?

[fringe sundial]

#valheim-chat message

[worldly scarab]

I'm sorry I asked this once today and got no response. Does the Leviathan wait-til-it-starts-sinking-and-logout trick work on MP servers if you're the only person logged in ?

[timid skiff]

I have now modded the game, just texture upgrades. Like I mentioned, it has been there the whole time. I'll try to get a clip of it...

[worldly scarab]

That's what he posted, but I don't know ~.~ so I couldn't respond, and I don't know if he saw my reply that there are people talking here.

[subtle parrot]

Ah, idk that either lol but I assume it would

[worldly scarab]

@subtle parrot It's ok Blobicycake answered them.

[timid skiff]

Here the strange noise...

70 days of looking over my shoulder..🤨

[true steeple]

So that just plays on a loop infinitely?

[timid skiff]

It is a bit random, but never goes away.

Maybe my character has constant allergies 🤷

The clip was originally 10 seconds long, and it happened 3 times. But the one I isolated, actually plays twice rapidly.

[true steeple]

Mods can often break the game in ways unrelated to their content, did this happen without mods?

[timid skiff]

Yes before mods, since day 1.

BTW, I'm a modding veteran. So I know the risks all too well. I played for almost a week before modding the game. Just to get a good baseline idea of the game.

It makes me want to dig through the audio files and listen to them one by one. And when I find the culprit... delete it!

But it isn't the best solution...

[fringe sundial]

that rustling noise is a ambient vanilla noise unfortunately.

it fits well if you are in the forests early on and hunting deer, but it is kinda odd to hear it otherwise.

[atomic shore]

do i need to be in the red area where the forest is moving for it to go away?

i red that its supposed to last 2 min but it has gone beyond that although im not in the zone thing

[frail cave]

yes, the timer only ticks while you're in the radius

[atomic shore]

ah dang it ok

my bow is broken and its hard but ill try

[blazing oriole]

hello, I play Valheim with the Xbox Game Pass when I launch my game I have a black screen and I can't do anything I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but the same thing always happens, is something Does anyone have a solution?

[true steeple]

Is this black screen happening when you open the game or load a world?

[blazing oriole]

when i open the game

[true steeple]

How long have you waited on the black screen for?

[blazing oriole]

first time i launch the game i came back 30min after

and after i try to uninstall but no result

[fringe sundial]

this is a longshot and slightly dangerous, but you could make a copy of the valheim file folder, place it somewhere not in the usual install spot and delete the one in the usual install spot. once you do that, try to reinstall fresh. it will wipe all your progress (if you have any) that isn't saved to a cloud. for other, less risky ideas, ask in the more specific help sections.

[terse condor]

I’ve filmed with my phone cuz it is a split second i have this message pop up and the game wont run. Should i uninstall and install again?

[true steeple]

Have you got mods installed?

[terse condor]

no

[true steeple]

Have you played with mods before?

[terse condor]

me? not with valheim, i'm a purist i like the games how the devs intend it

[true steeple]

Same here, but that’s how these issues usually happen…

[hearty fossil]

Does the Darker brown color to the rear of the ship icon mean anything for the wind circle?

[real nebula]

Could you please take a screenshot of your Valheim local files

[fringe sundial]

slightly slower speed than the light gold area.

[terse condor]

okie

[hearty fossil]

Okay thank you

[lilac coyote]

Oh look, mods.

[terse condor]

omg really o_o i'm such a noob i didnt even remember it

[fringe sundial]

BepInEx would count as a mod

[true steeple]

#valheim-help message

[real nebula]

Your game likely has an outdated version of bepinex installed, please delete all contents of this folder then reinstall the game.

[terse condor]

the content or the folder itself?

[real nebula]

Yes

Well, the contents

Reinstalling the game will make its own folder so it doesn't matter either way

[terse condor]

it worked 🥰 thank you

[fringe sundial]

in the off chance you get into modding, there is a section at the bottom for those who like other flavors besides vanilla: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

It's lame... I want it gone.

[fringe sundial]

you might be able to mod it out, but otherwise not sure what else to do about it.

[tiny dune]

Has it happened to anyone that recipes with flour do not appear when obtaining it?

[quasi raven]

can anyone help with bonemass lol

[frail cave]

what level is your cauldron?

[tiny dune]

3

[frail cave]

plains recipes require a level 4 cauldron so you're probably missing one of these

[tiny dune]

Uh.... xd, I was missing the first one, I hadn't noticed, thank you good man

[quasi raven]

is the turnip seeds in the swamp?

[frail cave]

yes

they're a good bit rarer than carrot seeds and blend into the environment better

[worldly scarab]

@frail cave Onion seeds seem rarer, to me ~.~ I only came across one node of them thus far.

[frail cave]

i tend to find them in every second chest

[real nebula]

Fortunately you just need one to start a farm~

[worldly scarab]

Yeah, but finding them XD is the task. They blend in with the ground really well too.

[past oyster]

@quasi raven looking for in game help , if so I'm down. The swamp is a annoying biome for sure mobs Bonemass then oh boy abomination joins the party as well 😂

[frail cave]

did they add something i'm not aware of? last time i was active, onion seeds were only acquired through chest loot on mountains, not actually found in the wild.
that would be extra strange since planted onion seeds don't blend into the ground of any biome with their bright pink top.

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, just chests still.

[frail cave]

could be that something broke one of those chests so you found the seeds lying around on the ground, in which case they would have sunk into the snow and been almost invisible 😅

[shell perch]

is the best way to farm shield skill?

[maiden verge]

It will definitely work

[sudden galleon]

they are pretty common in chest look for cabine in montaine biome

[tulip tartan]

i finally tamed a lox!!! let's gooo

[quasi raven]

Mb I just saw this I got him 3rd try

Main problem was I didn’t know what meads were and wasn’t using them

[open coyote]

edit: wrong channel

[past oyster]

Okay

[fickle oak]

Hi, I searched like 1-2 hours for one turnip seed and after I planted it next to the carrot seeds it disappeared after 1-2 ingame days, anyone know why?

[lilac coyote]

Probably planted too close.

[fickle oak]

There was like "healthy" as like the carrots, so I really have to search for a new seed right?..

[lilac coyote]

Well, it's definitely gone, so yes.

[tribal wyvern]

...wait, someone said something earlier that confuses me, is a perfect tailwind actually slower than sidewind when sailing in this game?

[open comet]

What does it do

[compact heath]

how long for Onions to grow?

feels longer than Turnip and Carrot

[tulip tartan]

It's really cool

You can ride it

And it has 1000 health, and can one shot most enemies before the plains

It's only real downside is that it's real big

[open comet]

Is there any tame that runs very fast?

[tulip tartan]

Loxes are slightly faster than players and they have much more stamina

I heard asksvins are fast, but I've never seen one

[compact heath]

they are not rare to find

you re looking in Ashlands yeah?

[tulip tartan]

Nah, I ain't got a drakkar yet

[compact heath]

can't find them outside Ashlands ofc

[sly parrot]

can you tame hairs?

[real nebula]

Negative

[sly parrot]

dang it. saw a vidio and it looked too good to be true

[real relic]

Is there any 1 melee weapon type that is viable through the whole game?
The farthest I've gotten is plains, just gotta find Yagluth and get some iron for padded armor before I'm on to the mistlands. I've played 150 hours so far and it has all been mapless 💀
The skill system in this game has always bothered me in that it rewards sticking to one weapon type, but the design of progression has at least 1 major speed bump that funnels you to almost HAVE to use a certain type of weapon, and if that wasn't the weapon type you were using you are going to not only be missing out on progression for your normal weapon but be at a low skill level for the weapon you have to use
Sure I could use console commands to set all my weapon skills to be equal when I switch weapons but that feels too cheaty. And I could grind out weapon skills but that is way too grindy for my tastes.
I've taken a peak at the wiki to see what weapons you can unlock for each category of weapon as the game progresses but considering how substantial the speed bump Bonemass is, are clubs my only real option if I want to stick to 1 weapon type through the whole game?
I just went through in a little sandbox world and with every weapons type (including 1-handed or 2-handed) at plains tier or the highest available in the plains (crystal battleaxe, iron sledge, and flesh rippers even) I killed an abomination using its primary and secondary attacks and then a stone golem with primary and secondary attacks and I found myself enjoying weapons I hadn't used much, more than I had about 120 hours ago (150 hours played), but clubs were not one of the ones I liked now with better skill. I haven't gone through and killed every boss with every weapon type with primary and secondary attacks because I figured maybe just asking here would be faster to get perspective.

So I guess what I really want to know, is there a viable melee weapon to kill Bonemass with that isn't clubs?
(I know bows exist but I want melee pls)

Sorry for the text wall 😅 This is just something that I've been kind of struggling to figure out.
If possible I'd also prefer to not have to skip biomes to get a good weapon, like, I don't want to go prospecting in the mountains to get silver and have a better chance against Bonemass. I'm willing to skip biomes as long as I don't have to prospect

[modest yarrow]

Bonemass is basically only killable with clubs, anything else deals significantly less damage. In general, swords are probably the best weapon if you want to only use one type of, as most enemies are neutral to slash so they’re very consistent. Luckily, you don’t need to commit to maces for the entire game, bonemass takes more damage from blunt and so you can get away with a lower clubs skill.

[real relic]

I've heard that and thought that many times but for some reason the way you put it into words makes it all make so much more sense

I feel dumb for something so simple being so hard to comprehend until now

[modest yarrow]

Don’t feel dumb, there’s a lot of enemies, weapons, and damage types in this game. Figuring it all out can take a while, especially if you aren’t using the wiki super often

[real relic]

But that's the thing, I AM using the wiki often, and I've looked at what weapons deal which damages and which enemies are resistant or vulnerable to what damages so I KNEW Bonemass was only weak to blunt and resistant to everything else Swamp tier but for some reason the thought of making a weapon for literally just the bonemass fight eluded me until you said what you said in the way you did
Bonemass in my current world that is my longest running one and is consistently multiplayer took 2 attempts

1. Failed, Me using heavy armor and a knife, other guy using a bow with fire arrows
2. Worked, We switched to both be heavy armor with root mask, I took shield and iron mace while the other guy got a sledge
   But for some reason we thought that being at level 0 with clubs would be too risky so we went swamp crawling to get a bunch of iron and generally train clubs but yeah, we could have just bonemass with level 0 clubs

It does feel unfortunate how necassary clubs are for bonemass, this game is so open to choice almost all the time but bonemass is a very firm exception where you have to play with a very specific selection or it's nearly impossible for the average player

[modest yarrow]

I think swamp would benefit from toning down bonemasses resistances or making more blunt options (for example, blunt throwables, blunt arrows, or a spear with a blunt iron back used for the secondary), just to give more options for people who dislike maces or want variety

[mystic solar]

I always carry and use multiple weapons. My favourite melee weapon these days is the knife, followed by sword, so I can always use one of them with a shield. No need to go full clubs just for bonemass, yiu don't need high club skill to beat him with one. That said, I also love having a stagbreaker, or any later version if a 2h hammer with me, as these very much shine in specific situations.
So my early game load out would be knife (sword comes later), shield, bow, 2h hammer.
Weapon skills in Valheim are mainly just nice to have and not a necessity, don't sweat it too much over them.
Only skill to make a huge difference is for bows, as it affects draw speed greatly.

[mystic solar]

You can beat bonemass with other weapons too, clubs is just the easiest.
I know some players who are very much set on using bows, they'll make an archery platform high up on an indestructible tree, and bring tons of arrows to beat bonemass. Takes ages but is very safe and levels up their bow skill a nice bit.

[modest yarrow]

It’s just so much better to use clubs, he takes 0.5x from slash and 0.25x from pierce, but takes 1.5x from clubs. You can do it without blunt, but it’s so much worse

[real relic]

To be fair, in regards to blunt arrows it wouldn't be anywhere near as difficult to get frost arrows for bonemass as it would a silver melee weapon for bonemass. And frost arrows exist which bonemass is vulnerable to

But for me it's not that I dislike maces, I just like weapons that aren't maces and don't like being forced to use maces. I think if axes had split blunt and slash damage like knives that would give them a more unique feel than just "worse sword you use on trees" and it would also give another option than just clubs to use on bonemass.
I'm thinking about doing a no portal run with the guy I've been playing mapless with for the past 150 hours when we beat the ashlands and if we do that I would absolutely use axes as my weapon if they did split slash and blunt damage.
And it's not like the slash damage effects tree chopping since chop is its own damage type. Axes are used on trees BECAUSE of the heft they have, not because they slash trees like a sword. Chop damage is essentially just blunt slash damage, if axes reflected that in their actual damage types that would be nice.
Plus knives feel so much like the odd one out, I mean, as far as I know they're the only weapon that deals 2 types of physical damage, if there was another that would make it stick out less. (please let me know if there's another weapon that does 2 types of physical damage)

[modest yarrow]

Blunt for axes is a good idea. Like you said, it makes sense and adds something unique, especially with the battleaxe in swamp it would be a great addition

[real relic]

I feel like any time archery is compared to melee it's kind of cheating. I mean of course you can beat any boss with arrows, pelting a giant target from a mile away is going to be doable. If we knew frost arrows existed I'm sure my archer friend would have stuck with a bow for bonemass and I wouldn't fault him
I would be a lot more surprised if someone advocated for using a MELEE weapon that wasn't a club in bonemass.

[mystic solar]

For melee club is just too much ahead of the rest to suggest anything else.
One thing to improve matters would be to go make frostner to actually beat bonemass with. Takes a bit more effort to find silver, but entirely doable, and frostner is a great weapon to have for a long time after.

[real relic]

That is definitely true but I feel like there's definitely a game design choice that could be made to make the bonemass funnel less painful and narrow.
I don't know what it is, but I'm sure someone smarter than me could think of it

[worldly scarab]

@frail cave o.o I found a yellow flower in the swamp and looted it. That's what I thought I got from it. I don't remember looting a chest with seeds. ~.~ maybe I'll keep my eyes open and see if I find any in them.

@frail cave I did get some wood bark and chains from chests though.

[buoyant peak]

No

[crystal kiln]

some suck more than others tho xd

[visual olive]

Sup everyone, just started and im wondering if i should play with or without "vulkan"

[open comet]

Is 150 fire arrows enough for eldar?

Do I need a shield or can I just spam kill it

[thorn spire]

the pillars around his altar are indestructable. use them for cover.

[subtle parrot]

Swords

[open comet]

Cool 😎

[loud linden]

Agreed. And the fact that we are tasked with a "quest" to obtain the top-end Ashlands sword would lend legitimacy to that.

[open comet]

Hey how to use Bronze Atgeir second attack???

[true steeple]

Middle mouse button or right trigger, like all secondary attacks

[open comet]

😭 thanks
I killed the elder just by jabbing it
Was in the middle of the fight

[true steeple]

The secondary attack won't be any good against bosses. Polearm secondary has 6x staggering and 10x knockback, but bosses are immune to staggering and take very low knockback (or are immune to that too, idk)

[hearty trout]

Anyone know how to backup saves?

all of mine are currently set to cloud

didn't know if it was different

[true steeple]

They have backups automatically, find them by using the manages saves button on the character or world select menu

[hearty trout]

so only local saves need to be backed up?

[true steeple]

All your saves are already backed up

[hearty trout]

i was planning on running PTB which is why i'm asking this

[true steeple]

You should save copies in a seperate folder so the backups arent overwritten with new ones

[hearty trout]

so which files for steam cloud?

i know local and cloud are different

[true steeple]

Any files you want to use in the public test should be made local, and then you duplicate their files and put them in a seperate folder so you can access them later if you want to

[hearty trout]

so you're saying to make my current world and character saves local instead of cloud?

and then copy to a new folder??

[true steeple]

Yes

[hearty trout]

so i'm in valheim folder, do i just take "characters local" and "worlds local" and copy them to new folder?

[jolly elk]

If you haven't already done so, you'll need to move the world and characters files from 'cloud' to 'local' in the game's start up menus. Then, check the content of your worlds_local folder to assure that the world(s) and character(s) files are there. And then copy and archive the content of your worlds_local folder.

[frail cave]

yea yellow flowers in the swamps are turnip seeds 😅
onion seeds are only found in chests in the mountains and frost caves

[loud linden]

Onions are the heart of a meal. That's why you can only find them in chests.

[timid skiff]

The game keeps resetting my resolution to something other than what I set it to. Anyway to stop this?

It happens when I start up the game.

[loud linden]

I can't say for sure, but it sounds like something outside of the game is setting your resolution. Do you have any GPU apps that might be over-riding individual game settings?

[timid skiff]

Not that I know of. And it doesn't happen on any other games. Is there a config file I can manually adjust?

[loud linden]

I mean, we can set resolution (etc.) in the game settings. But, I don't know why Valheim would be uniquely problematic.

[winged zenith]

is there a way for me to increase my view distance?

[timid skiff]

It's in the base game graphical settings.

[timid skiff]

I don't know much regarding the technical aspects of this game yet. Only been playing a week or so. But all I know is i have to reset the resolution every time I play. However, none of the other settings change.

[winged zenith]

Do you know the specific title of the setting in graphics?

[loud linden]

Sorry man, I don't know. Unless, there's some read-only setting that's stopping changes from being saved.

[lime drum]

I keep attempting to have this question answered... IS there a way to spawn entites rotated? Or what are some mods that would make placement of vanilla entities easier

[lilac coyote]

No, there isn't. For mod suggestions you could try #mods-discussion

[winged zenith]

Thank you

[visual olive]

Is there a way to get all the materials back if i break something i made?

[lime drum]

Do you recall what might possibly be mistaken for a command to spawn rotated entities? Or some other method? I've noticed the result of some kind of method to do so on worlds that were vanilla... there has to be way

[buoyant peak]

Nope

How could you break something in the first place?

Just repair it

[visual olive]

I mean in the beginning if i want to move my base

[lilac coyote]

Just dismantle it, don't break it.

[timid skiff]

Use the hammer to remove things. I've been getting full returns.

[visual olive]

Ahh yeah thx

[lime drum]

Waaaait... I have a specific instance where YOU were approching my insistence that the game can be directly modified by end-users, and you did something akin to this "gaslighting" 😂

[lilac coyote]

What?

I've answered your question and suggested somewhere you might get a better answer and I'm gaslighting? Weird.

[tribal wyvern]

the only things that can't be dismantled with the hammer are carts and boats, to my knowledge, and those can be broken with a weapon to get a full return on materials - assuming, in the case of boats, that you either fully beach them or get them into very shallow water

[fringe sundial]

The only devcommand I know of that rotates things is related to the decoration "sign". I think you can rotate text but I don't know how.

[lime drum]

Sorry off-topic, I didn't happen to take note of "their" user id or whatever... but I remember your exact handle name and profile pic, but maybe not you? Very distinct pic though

[tribal wyvern]

dude, just drop it, it's not something to discuss in this channel regardless

[lime drum]

@lilac coyote no one is accusing you of gaslighting, or anything akin to gaslighting

Fine, just trying to be nice

[lilac coyote]

In what way was your accusation nice?

[lime drum]

No one is accusing you of anything. You might have misread mate

[lilac coyote]

Ok, just reporting and moving on.

[lime drum]

Ok, lots of ppl block you, so righto

[loud linden]

Whatever is going on, I'm pretty certain that @lilac coyote is using renewables. He's definitely not lighting anything with gas.

[lilac coyote]

Heh.

[loud linden]

Nu-night, folks. Remember to brush your toothy-pegs before you go to sleepy-bo-bos.

[sweet crescent]

im proud of this tbh (Cheat sword in the box if your wondering)

[visual olive]

Should i just hold down the button when fighting or hitting stuff? I dont get any crit or anything from timing my hits do i?

[frail cave]

yea holding down is the same as timing it

[sweet crescent]

unless you have a parry shield? yeah just m1 spam

[timid skiff]

Any shield can parry...

[frail cave]

tower shields can't, only round shields and bucklers

[worldly sun]

I’m trying to join a server but the admin on the server said his version is 0.218.19 and mine is 0.21 8.17. Anybody have any idea how to resolve this? I have already updated and reinstalled and cleared my cashe but it will not show any updates to the 0.218.19 version that I need to be able to join the server.

[fringe sundial]

I believe 218.17 is PTB (beta). You would have to change back to live. There is a pin somewhere with how to do so. Keep in mind, you might not be able to use that character because the versions aren't matched.

[worldly sun]

Oh geez. I’ll have to look into that. I thought I was live. So I have to figure out how to get rid of the beta and get the live. Got it. I think. Ha ha thank you for your response!

[jolly elk]

For your resetting resolution issue, have you tried editing the 'prefs' file that's in your AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim folder? I don't know if it would fix your problem but it's at least worth a shot. 🙂

[jolly elk]

You can change it in your Steam Library's Valheim > properties > beta options.

[worldly sun]

I’m on Xbox not steam but thank you.

[worldly sun]

That was the issue! Thank you so much. I never would have thought to manually leave the beta before I could update the game. That’s weird to me, but hey, what do I know? lol

[fringe sundial]

Welcome to the learning curve.

[tulip tartan]

I'm almost ready to fight yagluth, me and my friend have full padded armor, upgraded black metal weapons, (I have an atgeir, he has sword and shield) medium healing and stamina mead, as well as fire resistance barley wine, but I'm not sure if I should prepare any more or if I'm good

We're also gonna use lox meat pie, serpent stew, and blood pudding for food

[fringe sundial]

Frostneir is great against Yag if you have it. I believe he takes spirit damage and blunt at neutral or bonus damage rates.

[tulip tartan]

I did notice that my atgeir was gonna be basically useless against him

[timid skiff]

I'll try that, thanx👍

[tulip tartan]

But I do have 2 stacks of needle arrows and a full stack of frost arrows, as well as a quality 3 draugr fang

[fringe sundial]

Atgeir might be good for adds (wandering mobs) that walk into your boss fight.

[tulip tartan]

I think I might just bow him down while my friend goes in front

Since frost slows him down, I think it'll be a good combo

[timid skiff]

Hey I'm new to the game(a week or so). What's a good early game way to kill trolls. I made some big ass antler hammer, and they started appearing all over the place😕

[tulip tartan]

Also since the sword's secondary is absolutely devastating

[fringe sundial]

Bows are the easiest for dealing with trolls.

[tulip tartan]

He's hit around 500 with a good placed stagger

[fringe sundial]

Wood arrows and a crude bow would work but the next bow would make it a lot better.
*for troll hunting.

[sick forum]

Hello, everyone. Where is appropriate to tell about glitch we have found while playing?

[tulip tartan]

#steam-bugs-discussion

[sick forum]

OK, thanks. That's a funny one

[timid skiff]

Okay. Note to self; continue getting in bow practice🏹

[subtle parrot]

Aim for their face, especially while sneaking, you'll get a huge hit in as long as they don't notice you

[tulip tartan]

I'm also not sure if it's worth using bonemass as yagluth's only attack that deals physical damage is pretty negligible

[timid skiff]

Well, I currently have a crude bow upgraded twice, and flint arrows. It doesn't do a lot of damage though... But I'll keep at it!

[fringe sundial]

I am center mass because I like to hit the broad side of a barn...but in all reality all things have a single hit box so face doesn't help.

[timid skiff]

Wow really, head shots don't matter?

[tulip tartan]

Once I got a bronze atgeir I just spammed secondary and stunlocked em until they died

[subtle parrot]

Make some fire arrows, need resin and wood, and they'll take a bit more damage over time from the fire

[tulip tartan]

For trolls they do

[subtle parrot]

Trolls head is literally it's weak spot

[timid skiff]

Got those, they really only seemed to piss it off!

[tulip tartan]

Other enemies except for a few don't

[subtle parrot]

Fair lol

[timid skiff]

Yeah I hoped they had a weakness to it. I was doing real well until the trolls showed up🤷

[subtle parrot]

They can be tough

[fringe sundial]

Wow that was a odd piece of info I didn't know. Wonder when that was added(?).

[subtle parrot]

Been that way for as long as I've played, so at least since mistlands lol

[timid skiff]

The trolls seem be guarding everything I go after. Like pines, copper ore, buildings. I won't see one anywhere, but the moment I go to harvest, one shows up!

[tulip tartan]

Also, is it better to use silver instead of black metal for yagluth, since he's technically undead?

[subtle parrot]

Yeh doing work, chopping mining etc will attract enemies to you, so you gotta stay vigilant out there

[subtle parrot]

I prefer the silver sword myself, for that reason, but idk if it's much better

[tulip tartan]

I'll have to swap out my atgeir for my axe then

[timid skiff]

Once a troll killed me in the water, and there was no tombstone to get my stuff back from. I learned to roll back my saves that day. Very not cool feature. You'd think the game would put it on the nearest shore or something.

[tulip tartan]

It'll deal considerably more damage anyways since he's resistant to pierce

[subtle parrot]

It should've been floating in the water where you died

[timid skiff]

Nope, nothing... except the death mark.

Thankfully, I'm file savvy😏

[subtle parrot]

Must've been a glitch or something then, that's weird but at least you got that lol

[timid skiff]

Yeah. Oh and the troll was still there too, of course.

[sick forum]

Yeah, me too. Half of bosses have resist to piercing damage and it strikes right in my heart😫

[tulip tartan]

Hopefully the queen isn't resistant

If she is I'm going full magic I swear

[sick forum]

And I was so sad that there is no new atgeir in ashlands(

[timid skiff]

Well thanx for the troll hunting tips. Now, I'm off to 'git gud' lol 😅

[fringe sundial]

The next bow after crude will make "getting good" feel much easier.

[sick forum]

Can someone explain to me, why crossbow skill have much harder rising? It's a mid-endgame skill, that you can't raise before mistlands. And bow, that can be raised from the start of game, doing it much better not only because it have faster shooting speed, but also because it gets more exp for hit than crossbow skill.

[shell perch]

lol

[frail cave]

can i request players to build stuff on my world for armor or weapons?

[old bronze]

Commands

[frail cave]

commands?

would you care to elaborate further

[old bronze]

I wouldn't personally build stuff for other people for armor or weapons because you can just spawn them in

[frail cave]

oh i didnt know that

[old bronze]

Now you do :)

[frail cave]

well.. thats why I said didnt.. nevermind

[frail cave]

uhmmmmmmmm HAHAHAHAH

[hardy veldt]

are flesh rippers worth it or should i keep my lvl 2 frostner?

[true steeple]

You can use both

[fiery delta]

i'm currently playing with the full fenrir set and the flesh rippers are pretty strong, but you have to play extra carefully

anyways you can keep both of them

[true steeple]

What makes it any more careful than any other combination?

[hardy veldt]

i plan on running full fenris the entire game and just simply not get hit

[hardy veldt]

i think hes saying being melee+ being squishy isnt the best combination

[true steeple]

I do melee with light armor at other tiers, but I don’t get lucky enough for fenris armor

[hardy veldt]

im just worried about ashlands if im in full fenris and get hit by a pebble i should be dead

[true steeple]

You could use the staff of protection

[hardy veldt]

not a bad idea

that staff is pretty busted

so i should run double stamina and single eitr foods

[fiery delta]

that was what i was thinking before getting full molested by the seekers in mistlands (I am playing in a group of, maybe, 5 friends and being made fun of for using fenris armor)

[hardy veldt]

i think ill be fine since i mastered dodge rolling

i am basically impossible to get killed by a troll

[hardy veldt]

what are they all in metal armor?

[true steeple]

If an attack can be jumped over, jumping is always better. You can start your attack mid-jump but not mid-roll and it costs less stamina.

Also jump attacking is very strong if you use it right

[fiery delta]

yes I am the only one using light armor right now

they all went full viking mode lol

[calm timber]

Naked Club Whole game 0 hit run

[hardy veldt]

too easy

[calm timber]

0 repairs

[true steeple]

Your main weapon is a pickaxe

[hardy veldt]

got me there

[calm timber]

Nah, the hoe

[hardy veldt]

nah, the hammer

[true steeple]

Hammer would be too strong because of stakes, traps and fires

[calm timber]

Man builds a fort

[lime drum]

so, I got a 2star boar in a pit, and there's a boar rune right by this draugr village (which will be cleared out relatively soon if not already). my question is... will more boar spawn here (hopefully 2star boar) despite the nearby draugr village structures, follow-up will a cover to the boar pit I have prevent boar spawn as well?

I very much forget how the mob spawning and boar rune spawning works

[frail cave]

most structure-related enemy spawns in the game are one-time only, which includes all boar spawners

randomly spawned boars can spawn there, but it'll just be by coincidence

[warm drum]

Hey do aspen and chicken eggs need to be on dirt to hatch or can I stick em on w/e

[frail cave]

they need to be sheltered on top of being warm

[fringe sundial]

I don't remember the need for shelter🤔 but ya, the egg(s) need to show "warm" for the entire time until they hatch.

And for aspens, do you mean the white trees?

[warm drum]

Whatever this jerk face lizard is that keeps throwing me into the lava

I put the egg down near a fire on tile floor and its been like 3 days of warmth and no hatchy

[fringe sundial]

The lizards are called "ask"...don't remember their full name.

[frail cave]

does it have a roof and walls

[warm drum]

Yeah it's in house

[frail cave]

hmmm

[warm drum]

Maybe it's too spacious? 🤔 I'll make it a smaller house

[frail cave]

as long as you have the sheltered buff while standing where the egg is, it should be fine, assuming i remember that correctly

[fringe sundial]

Only thing I can think of after reading the wiki is if they are in a stack, they won't hatch.

[frail cave]

i might be misremembering then. i tried hatching my first egg outside, right beside a campfire, wouldn't hatch for about a week worth of exploring and building

[warm drum]

Nah its the only egg that lived through the suprise doughnutroll man slaughter on the 1st 😓

[fringe sundial]

Hope you have hens or 2 eggs total(at least), or you won't be able to increase your population.

Hildir's quest and Haldor have eggs available if you don't have enough to make a farm.

[warm drum]

I ended up taming a 1 star lizard and am trying to hatch the egg, I always keep a back up of 6 eggs in a box at the start

[fringe sundial]

Ah, ask eggs, not chicken. Let me grab the wiki on them.

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

I am fairly certain they have the same hatching process as chickens: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Egg?so=search

Donutrollguy are "morgen"

[tulip tartan]

Is fire damage reduced by armor?

[frail cave]

yes

[fiery pollen]

is there a way for me to grow berries and mushrooms?

i cant find anything on the cultivator menu

[lilac coyote]

Nope.

[fiery pollen]

ah

[hardy veldt]

i wont drown right?

[tulip tartan]

i need some help with yagluth, he's kicking me and my friend's behind severely, can anyone help today/tomorrow?

[hardy veldt]

what food, weapon, and meads are you using?

[tulip tartan]

I'm using the crystal battleaxe, fish wraps, lox meat pie, and bread

[hardy veldt]

crystal battleaxe is horrible for him

[fiery pollen]

any way to prevent fall damage? i keep falling and dying trying to build a house and its really killing my skills

[hardy veldt]

i would reccomend using silver sword or frostner

[tulip tartan]

I know, but I lost my friends silver sword sadly

[hardy veldt]

food is good though

are you using fire res barley wine?

[tulip tartan]

We're just getting whooped cause there's a tar pit and lox right next to it

[tulip tartan]

Ofc

[hardy veldt]

i could help but my character just killed moder

[tulip tartan]

His meteors are problematic

[hardy veldt]

im about to smelt some black metal then ill join and help you i just need to make a shield

i dont have good food though

[tulip tartan]

Maybe tomorrow since my friend just got off

[hardy veldt]

ok sure just dm me

[lusty quiver]

hello everybody i would like to ask is the depth of is dock reasonable for bigger ships

[tribal wyvern]

it'll be plenty suitable for the Karve, which doesn't really sit any deeper in the water than the raft, but a longship might have trouble

[lusty quiver]

cool

i'll extend it another 4m then

[tribal wyvern]

the main thing to watch out for is rocks under the surface of the water

[hardy veldt]

are frost arrows viable for yagluth?

[lusty quiver]

Also how do you control a boat

[vagrant bobcat]

u turn wheel with A and D
u control speed with W and S
watch the indicator for the wind... if its blowing directly against u (it turns grey) u have to fold ur sail and only paddle (1 arrow forward instead of 3)

[lusty quiver]

Cool

What do i need to lookout for when sailing

I.e indicator of Sea serpent

[vagrant bobcat]

dont recommend sailing during night or storms with Karve

[lusty quiver]

Or other water predator

I only have a single raft

Just reached bronzd age and now need to get off my starter island to get copper

[vagrant bobcat]

u dont have any blavk forest on ur main island or?

[lusty quiver]

Very small patches

Mostly the starter forest and some mountain area

[vagrant bobcat]

Raft is very slow and useless... it serves only for crossing rivers or shorter distances imo

get Karve as soon as possible

[lusty quiver]

How to get that though

Get bronze ASAP?

Also need to get Surtling cores

[lone egret]

I hurt serpent with raft

[vagrant bobcat]

yes, bronze nails

[lone egret]

U mean nail?

[vagrant bobcat]

yes

[lone egret]

God damn I thought they at sth new I didn't play for 5 month now

[vagrant bobcat]

just find a nice black forest amd everything should be there

[lone egret]

Btw in black forest if u can't beat the greydwarf or skeleton just keep running till both of those mob fight each other

Sadly troll just want u and other mob don't attack it too

[true steeple]

Skeletons and trolls fight each other. Skeletons are friendly to swamp enemies

[lone egret]

Huh might be the skeleton die so fast that why I never saw that fight

[true steeple]

Once I found a skeleton stuck inside a rock, and it was shooting arrows at a troll that couldn’t attack it.

[dire bear]

I host using game. Can I have client mods that nobody else has while hosting?

[manic spade]

i just lost all of my stuff and my boat after loading in after dying

i get the loot but why the fucking boat

[hollow mantle]

Were you being attacked by serpent?

Also, though it can glitch, you should still have a grave stone - it will just be floating in the water where you died.

[tribal wyvern]

enemies of all kinds will attack the boat, because they're offended by its mere existence

everything from sea serpents to the lowly necks will attempt to destroy your boat if given the chance

[compact heath]

is there a list what devcommands work on a dedicated server and which ones do not? like I think debugmode doesnt work

[open comet]

How to upgrade stonecutter

[buoyant peak]

You can't

[open comet]

There is only one lvl?

[buoyant peak]

You only need one to build anything

[real nebula]

Only admin commands work on a dedicated server for designated administrators, anything that needs devcommands will not work

Wiki should have the full list

[compact heath]

when i type devcommands it does say "true" so I dunno

I am on list of admins

[inner vine]

What armor set should I use after getting Root?

Currently about to kill Bonemass and go after Moder.
I found a Frost Cave and got enough Fenris Hair to make the chest piece for Frost Resist, so I'm wearing Root Mask + Fenris chest + troll legs/cape

[silk cairn]

Either go for the rest of the fenris gear for the set bonus or wolf armor for more tankiness. Those are the 2 mountain armor sets

[lilac coyote]

Which means you can use the admin commands. But not the dev commands.

[compact heath]

/s is there a list of those specifically? or should I just read the wiki entry and it'll tell me that?

[subtle parrot]

Admin commands are the ones like kick and ban

Pretty much anything else won't work how you want like playing on a personal world

[lilac coyote]

That IS the list. It might be in the manual too, I'm not sure.

[idle ridge]

Is there cheats for Pc gamers

[compact heath]

ah just the 5 admin commands on wiki, I see, thanks

[jolly elk]

If you're asking about mods, you should ask in the #mods-discussion channel.

[hearty fossil]

Am I able to transport Lox via longship

[true steeple]

You can but if they see a serpent they will jump out and won't be able to get back in

[hearty fossil]

Alright

Thank you

[subtle parrot]

#valheim-help message

[west ferry]

Hi! I need some help. I'm trying to play Valheim with my mother, as we've done a lot before. But today it's not working. When I try to join her game it says my game is not updated. But when I check steam the game is updated today! Anyone got any help??

I have tried verifying the game files as well as uninstalling and re-installing the game

[true steeple]

Is the host on the public test version?

[subtle parrot]

Check the version numbers on the bottom right of the home screens, if they're not the same then check to see if one of you may have joined the player test branch

[idle ridge]

prob modded...

[west ferry]

There we go, that was the problem, thank you so much guys! Saved our evening 😄

[west ferry]

No, completely unmodded!

[mellow lodge]

anyone have opinions on minimum earthern wall height to keep out raids? this is a plains base, so also needs to deal with wolves hunting

[true steeple]

Wolf hunts only happen outside a base

[mellow lodge]

oh

hah thanks

still want to keep out any nosey fulings however. maybe 4 meter high is fine, or meh, maybe i should just dig a moat

[true steeple]

I've never used terrain walls because I want to fight the enemies instead of ignore them, so I don't know how high it should be

[mellow lodge]

that's fair. i just want to do base things at my base areas and not be bothered. especially if it's an AFK breeder setup

[tulip tartan]

If a hit deals 50 damage or one type and 50 damage of another type, does the armor reduce it as a total amount of damage or 2 hits of 50 damage?

[true steeple]

It reduces the total damage

[mint moon]

so i was playing last night and i got on to play some more and the game worked perfictly fine and no when i launch the game it opens loads for a seccond and then crashed and closes. ive reinstalled the game but i couldnt find anything online does anyone know whats going on?

[open comet]

Can I dismantle a weapon???

[subtle parrot]

No

[open comet]

Yo I'm having this glitch where the items are not getting picked up auto when I have slots and weight available 🥲

[glad marsh]

how do you actually FIND the minibosses for hildi?
do literally jsut have to randomly come across the special dungeons?

[timber marsh]

did you previously drop them

[timber marsh]

they should be marked

[open comet]

Nope
But it got solved with a restart

[timber girder]

Yo my game is not starting, i checked integrity i dont have any betas or owt on its base game i reinstalled it and its jus not starting this shi shows up and then it jus goes back to "play" on steam sorry if ss is bad its hard to capture it on time

is this the right channel for this

[frail cave]

cant post pictures in other channel, anyone struggling with lord reto primal spear + electric axes busted, keep throwing spear until root; go behind and attack him, repeat :p

[glad marsh]

is there something i need to do to get them marked? i found hildi and talked to her do i need to buy something? or will they show up on the map when im near them?

[timber marsh]

im not entirely sure, best bet actually is using the valheim seed map thing

[glad marsh]

jsut found one of them, the howling cavern i went in then back out again and still not marked

[timber marsh]

ohh. i was wrong 😭

but yeah if you have the seed theres a seed map website
