Hello, I've been looking in this chat for help regarding the crossplay check/radio button in the Microsoft Store version. It's not visible for me and I can't join a self-hosted dedicated server of a friend (yes, the crossplay and all the configuration for the server is ok) the problem is in my end. I can't find anything online that solves this problem.

My firends and I tested by joining each others worlds and it works fine, but when I try to join the dedicated server throws me the error 'Failed to connect'
Furthermore, I have to check and uncheck the community server radio button for the community servers list to show up
Theres no checkbox as it can ONLY use crossplay
The Microsoft Store version?
Pretty much any version other than Steam.
Oh okay, then I don't know where to tackle this problem from 😅
I've read similar cases on reddit, tried reinsalling redistributables and reinstalling the game but it still the same
Maybe an issue networking between you and the dedicated server host?
There's any way to troubleshoot that kind of issues?
I'm not very knowledgeable in that end, but maybe somebody in #dedicated-server could be of service
Make sure you're on a wired connection (if you can), turn off any VPN.
Ight, thanks guys. If I find something I'll write it here
Yeah I have an ethernet cable to my pc, and no vpn
And the server you're connecting to is definitely set to crossplay?
yes, they showed me the config file and the console logs
And you have the correct join code?
It doesn't work either
if i set the difficulty to hard and i do setkey PlayerDamage 100, will player damage increase to 100% for everyone on the server?
i think i want to play on something in-between normal and hard mode and i’m wondering if that’s the way i could do that
Does the piece resist of the serpentscale shield only affect damage blocked by the shield or is it like a generel modifier (like on the root chest) as long as the shield is equipped?
It's applied in blocking so it can stack with root harnesk, and only works if you're actually blocking with the shield
Do they have a whitelist (without an entry with your ID?)
That means that it also wont help against attacks from behind, right?
No, because you can't block an attack from behind.
is the Ashlands available in the stable branch or do I need to enable test branch for it?
yep, its been on the live branch for some time now 🙂
How do i flip a building vertically? I copied this "pillar" and apparently its a 2x1 stone block put vertically. Is it not possible to replicate?
It's not possible to rotate a build piece vertically. Also, you should eat some better food when in a dangerous biome such as plains and always be rested
Spent too much time building i ran out of the good foods, but thank you
Can someone help me, how to create 24/7 server for free in Valheim?
leave your pc on 24/7 cx
I can’t
maybe best to ask #dedicated-server as folks there have most likely the most info and you can even search through it if somebody already answered that question 🙂
Ok, thanks
It's not a 2x1 put vertically, it is its own build piece, just open the build menu and it should be there next to the rest of the stone blocks
can someone help me? When playing valheim on pc it works perfectly fine until i join/create a world. The game just freezes and does nothing. When clicking windows says it isn’t responding. I am playing from the xbox app on pc.
You need to wait a few minutes for the world to generate/update. Don't click anything on valheim or any other window.
how many minutes exactly? And why does it do this? It didn’t on my xbox and will it be fixed when the game is fully out?
It's fixed in the current public test version. The speed depends on the pc. It doesn't happen on xbox becasue xbox doesn't tell you when a game has stopped responding.
No i mean on xbox it doesn’t take this long. I just wait 20 seconds and its done. How do i get the public test version?
The public test version won't make it faster, it will just stop the 'stopped responding' window from showing
Oh. Will it become faster? Because like i said its fast on xbox
and does it take less time the next time i open my world?
It will be faster next time. This only happens when a world is being generated or updated, because it takes time to do those things.
I see. Thanks
where can I see the changelong of the public test branch?
changelog?
and it's also shown on steam with (public test) behind it
I mean all the changes implemented in the PTB. Where do I see the whole list?
I only see this in that link:
"Patch Notes:
- Fixed an issue that could cause world loading error on relogging"
Is it the only difference between the test branch and the stable branch?
No, that's the difference between the latest patch and the previous one.
ok. Where can I see all the differences between the stable and the beta?
there is no complete list of differences listed in one place
There is, it's literally there. Just read the last three entries.
this is what I was asking for. Thanks
Even on xbox when creating a new world or going into an existing world after an update the game will take several minutes to load, I play on xbox game pass
should probably add a window/loading screen that tells people something like "Initial world creation... this may take several minutes... keep calm and be patient"
Anybody help
When i join my friend i see this and get disconnected after 2mins approx
oh god the naked mistlands
Nvm it fixed
need help. a friend left 2 days ago and came back now, but terrain change etc we did these 2 days loaded back in when he joined
i heard of that bug before, i think it's unrevertable
once i break apart a dverger ward with a cart, is there any tricks i should know? or just bring the cart to the container and break it with the cart also?
and will they get pissed if I break my own cart now? 🙂
okay, they didn't care that i smashed my cart after the ward was down
woo, and rebuilt the cart at the top near the crate, and smashed it open. i'll probably drop a portal at this outpost now
once you smash their ward, do dverger care if i used a weapon to break something in their outpost?
Pretty sure once the ward is gone they don't gaf what you do
confirmed. i smashed their crates with my axe. thanks
We just got our first eggs! Can fires hurt chickens / hens, and if so, how do I keep them safe while incubating the eggs appropriately?
Put a 1m wall around the campfire and keep the eggs at least 1m away from those walls and they shouldn't spawn into the fire.
Hmm, may have to do some redesigning of my coup then. How far away will fires still incubate eggs, roughly?
Top right will tell you if you are near a campfire
Oh, it's the same, ok thanks!
Anything else I should keep in mind while trying to hatch our only two eggs?
Once you get some extra eggs, in a huge fan of a breeding tower to pump out more eggs. I also have an automatic breeder with auto kill with puffer fish. I love it.
Just followed some YouTube videos
hello, I have a little problem.
I play Valheim with my friend but when he is not there to launch the server for me I cannot play.
Does anyone know how we can make it so that I can also launch the server? THANKS
One of you would have to be able to save the world file and load it in to a personal dedicated server, which you can run yourselves or start a new world through a dedicated server service, which does cost monthly to whatever provider you go through, like Gportal for example. But there is a steam tool you can use to run your own server if you're technically inclined, but that's about all I know. #dedicated-server may be some more knowledgeable folks can answer over in that channel.
ok thank you for your answer 🙂
Do you want to know how to get eggs?
I got eggs i need to know how to chimkem
Drop them close to fire
Drop them inside a building.
Eggs wont hatch if they’re stacked
Make a fenced off area for them, you can drop how many you want but they can't be in stack
If it’s just a fenced area, bats are going to take them for breakfast
Does chimkem jump
No
And do i need straw
And no
That should be good enough 🙂
Is there any ** in the Ashlands
Boutta
gangsign(
Oh there are 2 stars there 😄
I've seen many, upon many *'s but I've not seen two.
But thanks for confirming they exist.
I'm looking for a Chompy.
Go there ať night for better chances 😉
My friend and I don't sleep, so we've been out there for many days and nights and not seen any.
If eg too close to wall does chimkem spwan in wall
It depends, try to put it as close to the middle as possible
Well 2 stars are always kinda rare, don't stop trying 🙂
It CAN spawn in the wall and pop out the other side though yes.
I can't wait to see the colour of it.
I want a nice big Chompy. 💙
What about close to another eg
And how long should i eg
The roof is perfectly fucked
How do I craft the midsummer crown/flower crown? Can I even craft it?
During those events
That's wild my first night there I saw 2, 2 star asks lol
Hold on its even fuckier ig ill leave it like this
did you mean the maypole ? if yes you cant anymore the event is over
Yooo i got chimkem but hes orange, should i continue?
I got 3 chicken wing
What do they eat
Seeds.
No, the flower crown is a hat craftable in the same event, so still can't craft it now
You don’t need food in your hotbar, you can right click it in your inventory
That is not what i meant
If they're on xbox, it is easier to have it in the hotbar imo as you can't autowalk (or at least couldn't figure it out) on xbox
He can’t be on xbox because the hotbar slots are numbered
Fair
What yall talking about
You don’t need to walk while eating food, and those 3 slots are best left for more important items
I know you don't have to, but in the playthroughs I watched on YouTube after I did my first playthrough, all the dudes were pulling up the menu while they kept walking away from stuff chasing them, to eat fresh or drink meads. Can't think of what's more important than my food though in the hotbar, there's enough spaces for a couple weapons a shield and whatever potion you may need too
Hotbar preferences
Anyway i prefer it on 678 slots its js me i play on low fps so ots harder for me to aim it in the inv
I keep mine in the same slots
I go with meads in 678
I feel fast access to those is more important than fast access to food. But I also try not to let my food run down entirely.
That makes sense, I usually have them in 45, but I also don't use any potions other than healing and stamina, with the exception being poison strictly for fighting bonemass and frost when I'm just getting in to the mountains, but since they have 10 minutes they stay in the normal slots. Typically have an axe, sword and shield in 123. If not the axe then a bow.
My hotbar right now is hammer, hoe, bow, weapon 1(axe), shield, weapon 2(mace), stamina/tasty mead, health mead
1-5 for me are: bow, crossbow, axe/utility, sword, shield
and for meads I'm currently running: lingering stam, big hp, fire.
but I like a highly mobile ranged combat style
I typically play melee heavy
I'm probably going to do that when I start a solo run
Jesus fucking christ did I somehow miss that the Trollstav is hostile
Me: olol hey Troll, since you're knocking, want to meet your hellish brother?
Me: LOL it has a summoning animation that's so coo-.. Oooh wow, that's sick.
Troll: Dies
Me: Oohoo!! he just one hit the guy.. and was that like 900 damage to my stone wall?
Me: Notices red health bar when he looks at me.
Me: OOOOOH FUUUUU-!!!!
Wonderful
Hello, I’m quite new to the game, I’m doing a little adventure with friends and we ask ourselves a question, we have unlocked the shadowy and want to grow linen to get again crafts. We know that this one must be planted in the plains but we were wondering if there is a system of loading chunks where we must be near the farm so that the resources grow properly or it is not necessary?
I'm unsure exactly what you've asked.
Farms will grow no matter where you are in the world.
I meant, is there regions unloaded when u are not located close to them
So I could do my farm like middle map & go explore somewhere else & my farms will grow anyway ?
Farms will grow no matter where you are in the world.
ty
💙
So I use Dead Raiser to make enemies in Ashlands become busy so I can run away, will the 'Stav give me the same, yet more destructive result?
The trollstav is more effective at actually killing the enemies, while the skeletons will often die first
Update of chickens/hens please dont warn me
Of course. But will it grab their attention and allow my escape?
He jus’ chiggin’
Hens be like Heyy
Chigga be like wassup bro
Yes, and because it’s spawned further away from you it can be easier to distract enemies with
HAHA. That's brilliant.
Main thing to be aware of is that like all enemies they will go for the target that is closest to them.
What do skeletts eat
Nothing, they have no insides
They're always hungry, because they can't eat since they have no insides
They have no Stomach y even they hungry
Lol idk, but they're just summons so they don't need to anyways
Same code/behaviour as normal tames
ok, ive got a problem. i had a cart FULL of scrap iron in the swamp. it got stuck, and while i was trying to get it unstuck, i was attacked by an abomination. i took off running, kited the sucker, killed him, and went back to my cart.
but my cart is gone! no iron scraps on the ground, no bronze nails... its just gone
and i know im at the right spot--i even marked it on the map
is it a thing in this game for stuff to just disappear like that? is it a kjnown bug?
or do abominations like to eat carts full of iron scrap?
how long did you leave it?
how long did i leave my cart? actually about 10-15 minutes. i got killed 3 times before i killed the abomination and the swarms of dvagr's or whatever they're called
but carts don't disappear from inattendance
i've never had something disappear like that, no. there's a scenario where if the cart got destroyed into materials, un-attended items would eventually despawn.
i would honestly just look around more, and assume you didn't mark the right place. 15 minutes in game isn't long enough.
i have, before i came here, ive been looking all over
im forlorn, depressed, exasperated, and infuriated
could the game REALLY have deleted all that scrap iron??!!!
that was all i did yesterday. that was a full day's work 😦
yeah, i hear you. i just read a wiki talk page that says 2 hours for items not near a workbench. i don't know if a cart would despawn or not.
no, ive got carts on other islands older than this one that are still around
bonemass. does bonemass eat things like that? cause he came to join the fray as well
i had a boat that got smashed, and i didn't notice, and the pieces despawned.
you had bonemass running around? no, he doesn't eat things. sometimes creatures attack player objects however. that could have happened.
yes. i tried to kill b onemass last night before i realized i really am going to need iron gear
this really can't be happening 😦
yeah, that's a gut punch. this game can be unforgiving. it's no consolation really, but you really just lost time, you can find more iron. 😦
i have to go track down another swamp
and spend another full day mining muddy scrap piles
yeah, took me 4 or 5 swamps before i found one with a decent amount of iron in the crypts. first 3 swamps had 2 crypts i believe
is there a devcode or something like that that will take me to existing carts? like a "gotonext("cart")" command or something?
RNG giveth and taketh away
that's a good question. I don't know the console commands stuff. some other people might
im beginning the googling
yeah. i just found a find [object] [pingmax#] cmd
Good luck, hope you find it.
do you have to be near a sap extractor for it to suck sap? if I portal somewhere else does it stop?
hmm, reading reddit appears that you can let it go while you're away, and then just portal in and take the sap
You do not have to be near it.
I found a grouping of 3 roots. So I'm good with sap now with patience. Now it's all about soft tissue I guess
Nice
Increased eitr regeneration and damage for pickaxes (both their pierce and pickaxe damage is increased)
For thw fight i mean
Do you mean you’re playing alone and use both or with a friend?
I play w my friend i play mage he plays warrior
You can either use two bonemass so you have it for ten minutes, or have one bonemass and one eikthyr
Aight
anyone know the danger zone around an eitr refinery? how big a radius should i have clear if I don't want to build black marble walls for now?
The radius is very big, you could put it in a basement so you only need a marble/iron ceiling to protect your base
ah, ok. hmm
i do have a basement. though i may need to dig deeper or modify. let me see
this thing is pretty big however. hmm.
I killed her w yagluth and bonemass in less than 5 mins 😭😭
Time to go to ashlands! 
i think i may have to create a small as house for this refinery as i can with black marble. i can't get this into an exist basement, and i'm generally too close to sea level
Already been there
Have maxed galdr and blackforge
Were you killing the queen a second time or just trying to skip her?
First time
Why would you skip the queen?
Kinda funny isnt it
No. You’ve been keeping her locked up with nothing to do 
I forget about her and didnt have sealbraler
Have you defeated Fader yet?
Nah dont have bell
oh, duh. i have crap ton of stone. i can raise earth around it easier than spending all the black marble
what spot does the refined eiter come out of? the big glowy circle on the front-left? trying to figure out what I need to cover with black marble or iron cage
so far i have this
hmmm. it looks like it's going through the raised earth? lol
hrm, no. it's stopping it, but maybe some of the walls are too close, so it clips
yup we all get that reaction the first time we use it
Can someone give a best farm for food? I dont wanna hunt every 2hours to survive im in iron age
You can tame and farm boars by keeping them in a building or enclosure with berries, mushrooms or crops
what are you asking?
Food Source for iron age
You’ll need to find turnip seeds to get turnips. They’re used to craft a cauldron improvement that you’ll need to get the best food in swamp and every future biome
Carrots and boars to start, then turnips
After that use sausages, turnip stew and either black soup or muckshake as your food
Can i raplant them? Or i will need to searh new ones
You can replant turnips
Tysm
do i need to make anything else to get ready for the queen besides mistwalker and carapace buckler?
You could fight her with what you have now, but either Krom or Mistwalker + carapace shield/buckler would be better
You also need better healing mead
misthare supreme and fish n bread if you have it (or whatever else best stamina food you got access to), and then a choice of either another health food or another stamina food, depends if you are more comfortable with 2 health 1 stam or 1 health 2 stam (meat platter is an option for health, salad an option for stamina, honey glazed chicken is another option for health)
Fish n’ bread/mushroom omelette, salad and meat platter/honey glazed chicken/misthare supreme if you’re going to make that buckler or use Krom
If you make the carapace shield you should use 2 health foods instead
honey glazed chicken misthare supreme salad
What equipment are you using?
Make sure you’re not taking any unblocked hits, or the fight is going to end very quickly
got me nervous now im abt to run in with full carapace armor
why is this sap so slow
When a root has had too much sap taken, it will produce sap more slowly. You could move your extractors to another root
dang i just placed theese and they already all dried up
You can leave one extractor while it’s dry, but any extra won’t do anything
if i break my galdr table, i will get the refined eiter back, right?
If you or an enemy break anything except sharp stakes, you get all the materials back. (Why wouldn’t you?)
You also don't get back the fuel in fires, etc, iirc.
i have so little refined eitr at the moment, just being extra careful. i'm moments away from the feather cape
Make sure you have some barley wine ready so you’re not waiting for it to ferment after you make the cape
yeah, i'm already running around with fire resist ready, since i'm wearing root chest
This has to be false. Every time I find enemies in the Ashland’s having a scrap unless it’s with the Dvergr they all come at me instead.
I’ve experienced this too. The problem is there’s so much shit in the swamp that the items probably appeared inside something like a root or log and then clipped through the ground.
When I was full and dropped a stack of iron to fill my stamina back up, it went through a root and was gone. I broke logs, dug the ground, everything. Gone.
thats what i think happened. the cart was stuck on a root and a log when i left it
Aren't all the Ashlands mobs the same faction - Demons?
Just checked - they are all Demons. They shouldn't be fighting (though they can damage) each other.
So that's why they go after you unless they're fighting dverger - because you are the only target.
i built a 2nd smelter, and now im done using it. i want to remove/destroy it, but i can't. the game won't let me. when i use the "remove" button, nothing happens
what gives?
oh. ok. just restarted my game, and now i'm good
I DON'T know.. I SWEAR I've seen them fight at times, the birds against skeletons and stuff.
I maaay have been mistaken that a Dvergr was somewhere in amongst the combat.
I DID use my preexisting world however, and may have some bugs, unsure.
No worries. It’s also entirely possible the wiki is wrong. And I’ve not spent a lot of time in the Ashlands, so it’s possible it’s just not happened, but I’ve never seen them fight amongst themselves. Only with us and with dverger.
Oh my god.
I've spent waaaay too much time in the Ashlands... my ass is so sore..
You'd think it'd feel good at this point but no.. it doesn't.
I’m waiting for my friends to start playing again.
Though I may just start a solo run.
so, i jsut killed bonemass. i know i need to go to a new biome. but i don't know which one. without telling me which one i need to go to, how do i find out? is there a clue somewhere?
well, lets say you might consider going skiing 😉
😦 well ok.
but how did YOU find out you needed to go to the mountains?
where's the clue? wheres the next puzzle piece?
i dont remember actually 🤔 my first playthrough was more than 3 years ago
i have a feeling the raven said something when you killed bonemass/got wishbone
raven said that i got the wishbone which can be used to find silver and other treasure
you could also orient by the sacrifical stones 🙂 (at least for the mountains)
is that the starting area?
yep
so, yeah, i examined the next one
and it says "down from the mountains..." and so i'm assuming thats how people figured it out. i can't find anything else. certainly, it isn't quite obvious where to get silver. I mean... iron is found in mud piles
it could also be hinted that mountains are next since you unlock frost resist mead in swamps 🙂
i don't remember unlocking that
look into cauldron 😉
well, yeah. i see it there. but i don't remember actually unlocking it
tho i agree that its very easy to overlook hint
indeed it is
well your in the valheim help chat 😅
and to think I've only just noticed that, after Eikthyr, the next three boss raids tell you exactly what biome to go to next
im just lol'ing over here!
most of us dont... 😛
come to the "Valheim-help" channel to ask if its the place for valheim help
and then doesn't even need help!!l
lol!!
well if you need just ask we only charge a couple of blood drop to signe ur contr..... to signe a paper and you good 🧛
🤭
Any devcommands that allow construction in spawn zone, haldors, hildirs?
Oh god
What is even happening in here?
Helping is happening here 😄
interesting-
Bicurumba
whoah. was not expecting to see that when i opened discord.
Has Valheim become a bit crashy lately? I've had three CTD in the last 4-5 hours of playing which is a bit worrying, but if it doesn't happen to others something might be up with my system.
Haven't had any problems.
Thanks. I found a newer nvidia driver than the one I had installed, so trying that. And I'll twiddle a bit with graphical settings too
Can some one help me with this ?
Takes 5 minutes for surtling to spawn again, if you have anything playerbase withing 20 meters of the spawner they won't spawn at all.
Best thing to do is find a few more spawners and make a surtling farm loop, go in one portal, watch the surtlings die to water, loot the coal and cores, step into 2nd portal to next spawner and make it a loop, begin and end portal in the base and end portal close to a chest to dump it all in.
hey quick question:
my friends and i are running a small server with player based raids.
The raids are working fine but we started wondering what happens with fulings and seekers just spawning after you kill later bosses.
Would less advanced players be affected by those since they might not be raid related?
Hi all.
Can you tell me what the purple square in the left corner of the screen appears in the game?
purple square? can you send a screenshot?
If a boss is killed, night spawns happen, means certain mobs will start spawning in other biomes than their original but only at night and they will disappear come morning.
New players can run into them, so not going out at night might be a good idea.
Though I do wonder if they would spawn for everyone or only for the person that unlocked it but that the other players might run into them.
As far as I know night spawns happen for everyone but I might be wrong.
Hmm, never saw that before, maybe try to restart the game if that doesent work validate files or reinstal the game.
what the hell is this !
Okay, I'll do it right now. Thank you.
A dream text?
duh read it
i did 🙂 whats the problem with it?
idont know maybe the part when there is a naked child ? in my dream lol
your char has some vivid dreams.
I believe this has been mentioned before and it turned out to be being caused by a mod. But I may be misremembering.
you didnt get to ashlands runestones yet did you 😄
I havent yet either
Me neither
yeah im still in the mountin is it somthing in the runes ?
yep, they will give you a bit more info about who/what the child is 🙂
The thing is that I play without mods, but thanks.
Like I said, I may be misremembering. But I am sure it has come up before. So try a search.
more info about a naked child LOL no thanks pass
thx btw
I'll take it into account, thank you.😀
#valheim-help message there, someone with the same problem 🙂
We don't know if it's the same child or not
It seems to have disappeared, I checked the integrity of the files. Thank you, you are the best.
Considering that the way the child appears is pretty much identical in both the dream and the runestone i would say its incredibly likely 🙂
@frosty frost deserves more thanks than me.
lol mushroom omelette has no mushrooms? that confused me a sec
it has tho
jotun puffs are mushrooms
3 eggs, 3 jotun puffs... ohhh
lol i'm dumb.
for some reason i thought: magecap are mushrooms, puffs are something else
i need to grow more puffs. all the best stuff uses them right now for me. i have such a tiny field at the moment
fortunately mistlands shrooms are probably the easiest thing to farm in the game 🙂
Yeah 3 per grown shroom and no steps in between.
yeah, it's basically a a step up from barley/flax
i'm leery of making a real mistlands base yet however. i don't want raids there. but i have a tiny plot with stakes in a relatively safe-ish area, not enough objects for a base
stakes keep the hares out, and provide some passive food from them lol
personally I'd just do stakewalls, a portal, and a chest
yeah, i just haven't found a nice location yet. basically JUST found flatland at all in the mistlands yesterday. i'm currently setup in a rib cage near a couple roots, with a small plot near me. just a portal and workbench atm.
I found a very small island one workbench was enough to spawn proof it, put a hut and a portal there.
It can grow around 200 shrooms.
oh man! jealous
It's glorious!
my best spot at the moment is a completely spawn proofed island with the Yagluth altar. will build a cool base there, and for now, it's stress free barley farm.
can i find where is weapons' model files? i want to change em but idk where do they locate
Did you manage to keep the stone fingers safe from Yagluth?
#mods-discussion might get better answers?
oh ok
Hello
first time playing
what I do?
get close. it'll come back down to new ground level.
talk to the raven. he'll help you.
Who is raven?
3 small chips in one finger. Not perfect but ok.
Indeed, speak to Hugin, he'll tell you what to do, but generally just gather anything you find on the ground
As a hoarder in video games, that has served me well in Valheim: SAVE EVERYTHING lol. I'm looking at you, 35 stacks of bone fragments
Right! My friends were like "lets obliterate everything" and I was like "How about we only obliterate gear that we accidentally made, or which got duped for now, and we can do other stuff if we're ever desperate for coal..."
I am so glad they listened to me.
it bit us in the ass once we reached mistlands, we threw away all of the chains we looted from crypts lmao
What do you need chains for in mistlands?
dverger lanterns?
(well, not for the lanterns themselves, but to use them in the build pieces)
yeah, i basically only obliterate stuff i generate too much of. like leather scraps, wolf hide, etc. stuff that i already have a chest full of from farms
i'm trying to find some details on summoned skellies. I assume they can't go with you into dungeon entrances, or through portals. They go away when they die. What happens if I go into a dungeon, summon skellies, and leave and come back? are they still there?
I believe it depends on if they leave the active region or not. And, they don't disappear immediately.
There's a significant period where coal is super valuable. 'Burning' boar, neck, and deer meat that you're not using to bolster your coal stores is significantly more efficient than obliterating them. (I know you didn't mention that specifically, but it's a great tip to share).
what if I portal away, do something, maybe sleep, portal back?
Yeah, we had a tree farm and enough mats for all the kilns we needed at that point. In fact I believe we still have spare kilns and smelters dotted about the world.
This sounds like a hypothesis worth testing!
Not sure. I've not used magic much, but I know when my friend, who does use magic, summoned some and then portal'd away, they hung around for a little while, like maybe a minute, before despawning. So, I expect they will have despawned in that time, even if like you had a portal right next to you bed, and you didn't need to light a fire, etc.
yeah, sorry. i'll be patient and test when i manage to find some more soft tissue and build the staff. still a ways away
And it's possible they only despawned because I was still there. So that region was still active.
hmmm. interesting. i'm excited to play with a whole new aspect of the game.
Yeah, I'm thinking when I do a solo run I'll start melee and then switch to magic when I get to Mistlands, because I've only played ranged (with melee backup), and only lightly dabbled in magic (using a spare trollstav to break stone/ore).
Wai..wai..wai..wai..wai..wait. So, you're suggesting that if you WEREN'T there, they wouldn't have despawned?
yeah, my play style has generally been melee, with ranged to pull or opportunistic if enemies can't get to me. but i don't do the style that i see some people do: run around shooting enemies who are chasing me 🙂
I like magic now but the first time I tried it (second playthrough) I died to a boss for the fist time so I avoided it for a while after
That is entirely possible - non-active regions don't update - but I don't know what, beyond players being there, makes a region active/non-active.
I am very much a 'shoot from distance and plan to take them down before they get to me' style of ranged player, but I also like to conserve the better arrows and bolts, so end up sometimes having to run around a bit. 😛
lol. yeah, i shoot once or twice, and then equip my melee to finish
Good afternoon everyone, I'm having a bug with the game in which I try to create the server to play with my friends and when I enter the password it crashes, I use my notebook and the game pass application, I play via the cloud
if anyone can help to solve this problem
Can I make a raspberry farm?
No, you can't farm raspberries.
🥺
bone bolts make those go away pretty quick
you can pin the rasberry on your map to find them easier later
to build lanterns
I'm having an issue where valheim and my dedicated server keep crashing my pc randomly, black screen and everything is unresposive but can still talk in discord and hear spotify running
That's what I'm using right now actually yep!
how many ram you have ?
32GB
should be good there ... are you using mod ?
no mods
did it crash at lunch or random when you playing ?
nvm you said it was random
🤔
random, it crashes a lot when trying to join server, but then sometimes I can play for like an hour no issue and then it crashes
is your dedicated server is on the same pc ?
It is
hmm maybe try in the # dedicated server to see if its a current problem .. i never try to run both at the same time
Is it faster to become rested by sitting
No, you only need to sit if you’re not sheltered
Thanks 🙏
Hellooo yall, anyone encountering an issue where the version number for their game has a 1- preceeding the version number? It prevents multiplayer connection too
where you get the game ?
Steam
Verified, still finding a 1-
do you dl the ptb or the live vertion ?
What does that mean? I just got it from steam
ptb mean the public test beta, but since you just get it you probably get the live vertion
🤔
whats the vertion you got ?
1-0.218.19
hey, my game becomes unresponsive whenever I try to open any of my worlds, I've tried reinstalling, verifying the integrity of my game files, and updating my graphics driver, but nothing seems to change it
is it the first time since ashland update ?
Just be patient, don't move the mouse or tab out.
yeah
The world is being rebuilt. Should only happen once.
like derek say let it go
ah, ok, thanks! I got my brother to buy the game when it was on sale a while ago, and I was kinda worried when we couldn't get it to work lol
if the non responding window pup up click on wait
aight, I'll try that, thanks a ton!
honestly, part of me didn't expect that to work lol
does Grausten protect vs the eitr refineery as well? or only black marble?
that particular problem is asked alot in this chanel , im about to open a notepad and just copy past the anser 😂
Why isnt the Dundr's Eitr usage reduced?
I think it reloads faster
am i doing something wrong causing the edge and "corners" to be diagonal instead of perpendicular?
u can shave off a bit more, for the sharp edge
i tried that and it didn't quite work. it seems can only take of a minimum of 1 meter's worth if i'm careful. can't do a 0.5 m
don't aim for the actual stone, aim a bit more to the right (a few pixels or so right from the right red line)
thats what i did
it should work hmm
the slope there is the sign that there's extra rock in that direction
hmmm. what does extra rock mean? like something buried in the ground?
just the terrain i mean
u see how the right one goes straight down but the terrain in question is kinda sloped
yep
u gotta shave a bit more off, it should work out then 🤔 i dunno why it's not working for u
Sometimes it is a very fine line you need to chip away to get a straight line.
can you though? you guys are making it seem that i can shave away tiny pieces. but the walls come off in 1m increments if you're careful, 2m usually
if i shave that down, it just moves the diagonal edge laterally
do u need that space to be that thin btw? or are you gonna widen it?
i do want to keep it narrow
its going to lead to a wider space, but the passage is narrow
if you're gonna widen it atleast 2m on the ground, it would make things easier since then you just aim for the ground and it would shave off that extra terrain. With 1m, it's a bit harder to do without messing up surrounding terrain.
otherwise, u gotta aim around here while facing the direction of the green arrow. Not much else that would help I think.
so i filled it back in and leveled it off at the top to show you.
the diagonal just exists along that wall for some reason.
oh u can't fix that part
when i start to chisel it down, it just creates a new one
Basically, the game will try to keep straight lines in terrain along the N-S, W-E, NW-SE directions
huh. ok
not sure, but it's been so since forever I think
i wish there was a way to carve out just 1 meter sections instead of always 2 m
Best advice I can offer is to just dig a 2m (or 3m if you are a symmetry freak like me) and section off 1m area using wood walls etc to cover up the extra space to still give it the narrow 1m look.
My second iteration of the main house had a basement, but I built the house before digging basement coz newb. I tried to play around with terrain but gave up since fixing the mess was too much work. Instead I covered up the basement with wood walls. By the end I ended really loving that aesthetic with the dim lighting and all. A wooden store room of sorts. Dunno if that fits with your aesthetic but you can give that a try.
definitely will try it. what i'm trying to do is make a "secret passage"
that will be covered up with a banner
so i don't want to leave anything "unique" to the area that would give something away
I believe the diagonal thing is due to the terrain being made from triangles (basically everything in computer graphics gets divided down into triangles, so for stuff like terrain it’s simplest to divide it up into a grid and then bisect each cell along the same diagonal).
that explains it xd
Just tried, no it doesn't
which station do I need to repair a maypole?
A maypole you found in the wild? I don't think you can repair that.
If a workbench doesn't work, nothing will, because that's where it's crafted during midsummer
yeah, in the wild. It's very damaged
You'll have to keep it very safe until next year
i would encase it completely in stone
so if i just go back to an infested mine, 4 hours later, the royal jelly containers will be back, and some of the seekers will have respawned?
Dunno if it's 4 hours, but, yes, infested mines respawn, and I believe yes both those things (but I could be wrong).
Seems accurate
Anecdotally, I've not seen monster respawns in Infested Mines; only the royal jelly.
i can't decide if that's better or not. i guess it makes it easier to run in and grab jelly, but seeker meat is nice to get
Royal Jelly gets old real quick. Revisiting mines for it is really unnecessary.
at the phase i'm in, it's still a valuble ingredient
Sure, but don't revisit mines when you can find new ones with Cores, Seeker meat, and other fun stuff.
you should get enough of it from mines, no need to revisit them
i have a mine really close to a farm, but yes, finding more mines would be better
You know what my favourite letters are in the alphabet? G, T, F, and O.
speaking of finding a new mine... and lol, i need to consider making demolisher. sure iron sledge helped me out against 3 seekers and 1star seeker, but demolisher would have been better
Do anyone know how I could fill this gap
I don't think you can 🤔 never looked into it much tho since i quite like the look and Its realistic
Rain doesn’t get in?
Nope
Ok that’s all I was worried about
i wanted to put my boar farm near my lox farm, heard that boar´s would scare the lox and they might destroy there breeder. does some1 know how far away my boar breeder from the lox one needs to be so they dont aggro each other?
tamed animals shouldn't aggro each other, since then they are all in one faction, the "player" faction
oh i see, so they talked about wild animals? thx!
i would try using two 45 deg wood walls in there
nope. doesn't work
you could try using a wood wall 1x1. its not perfect, but...
You don't. There's no build piece for it. It's an insignificant gap.
and here... you CAN use two 45 deg wood wall pieces:
I lowkey just like it unfilled now that I know it doesn’t let rain in
cool cool
Ah, got caught on the legs, huh?
.. you're kidding me, it has spikes on all four of its corners.
I think this is peak 'Valheim Moment'
Ah of course..
Now I'm really confused, I was running and a Valkyrie instant killed me when I had 160 HP
It didn't even look like it was targeting me, it was attacking someone else.
Is there a combat log?
you need to be carefull of that spining attack it hurt
The Valkyrie’s flame is very hot too, if you somehow manage to have two of them hitting you at the same time, and if you’re wearing the ||feather cape|| then you can take massive fire damage instantly.
Alternatively, I have also insta-died and then later realized I was on a terrain tile that was considered lava but did not look like lava
If you have barley wine it will override the weakness, so you’ll be resistant to the fire damage while wearing the best cape in the game
Yeah you’re right, I accidentally left out a part of my reply- and if my fire resist mead has run out without my knowing. I always keep the barley wine on me in the Ashlands it is so cheap for 10 full mins of heavy resist. But because it’s timer is different than the lingering mead timers I use and also diff than the bonemass cooldown timer, sometimes my barley wine will expire and it can take a minute to realize
I might have had that cape on by mistake when putting my gear back on, I carry both.
I was about 20+ meters away
I always keep that cape on me but also the fire resist to counter it
Tough to tell. The hidden lava gets me too sometimes
It might've been a hidden lava spot actually yes
"The floor is lava." "Which floor?" "We're not telling."
Because the Valkyrie was not close that's for sure, at least 10 wall lengths and was targeting my friend. 150+ damage too seems weird
||I fought Fader the other night. Talk about the floor is lava||
Lava REALLY hurts so yeah I bet it was a hidden spot maybe
I need to not click spoilers
.. did the guitar shred?
For 2-star charred warriors that I can’t block or parry, I find that jumping over their attacks and hitting them on the way down is the most effective and safe way of fighting them with melee weapons, so I always have the feather cape on in ashlands so I can jump high enough
It works well for other enemies but charred warriors are definitely where it’s best. Because their attacks are hard to roll through or walk from, the only other way I can dodge them consistently is to roll backwards and then I can’t attack them
Yeah I use it for jump-casting staffs. So for melee and staffs both it is really good
Jump attacking everywhere is the correct way to play valheim 
Bunnyheim?
dw its out of context. not really a spoiler unless u get unlucky with his spawn location 😭
||I think the message is about how many of Fader’s attacks leave fire on the ground. Fader’s spawn locations creates an area of land around it if it would generate in lava.||
whats the point of 1.5x resource? it seems like i'm getting 2x resource
it rounds up for stuff you get only 1 item from on normal, so from berry bushes you get 2 for example but if the little beach would normaly give you 2 wood then now it will give you 3
ah, ok
@hollow bobcat I'm late on this conversation, but what happens, if you put a crystal piece in the center? I mean I know it would still let a little air through, but a small place needs airflow for lights right?
Oh fuck me. See I thought he meant that he makes even more of the stuff. My location has quite a bit of room.
It’s a good idea to bring a lot of stone and some benches and to make some walls here and there for pillaring. Or just box the spawn if you want to be a dick. Olol
you dont need any stone, dont worry 🙂
I have been struggling quite badly to break into the mistlands. I have been considering using root harnesk/serpent scale shield for the pierce resistance. I have read from several sources that resistances don't stack but the wiki page for the shield says it does stack. Does anyone know if this is true? Is it worth it to bring both?
The serpent scale shield's resistance does stack because it's applied in blocking calculations instead of damage reduction like the other resistances.
You don't need either in mistlands though, if you have padded armor and a black metal shield/tower shield or a 2h weapon you'll be able to block all attacks well, which can be better than only being able to take the pierce attacks.
Would you recommend bringing it, or just root harnesk and a party shield? Seekers seem pretty easy to parry but they don't stagger long
I have fully upgraded padded and black metal sword and shield
I usually eat lox meat pie, bread and fish wraps as food
What weapon did you make with silver? The frostner will do a little more damage per hit than your sword but will have significantly less stagger, and depending on your playstyle that could be better than your sword.
It's not worth making if you don't already have one. Just focus on crafting a mistlands weapon if you haven't made the frostner.
I have a fully upgraded frostner
You might want to use that then, if you're not using your weapon to stagger enemies
I just hate it's knockback
I don't mind the high knockback, but the damage difference to your sword is very small so you can keep using that if you'd prefer to have low knockback.
I have managed to clear out one dungeon with no issues. I guess it is more the terrain and visibility I am struggling with
I have started being able to identify what is around me by sound, but still very rough place
Make a feather cape when you can, it boosts your jump height by 20%, reduces the jump stamina and limits your fall speed. It makes you weak to fire but barley wine overrides that so you'll be resistant to fire. I think it's the best cape in the game for exploration and combat
For visibility, you could start making paths of wisp torches where you explore
I can't make those
Chop trees in mistlands for a new type of wood that you can use for wisp torches and an important tool for progressing
Oh I guess I can make those, just missed them before
Yes my first foray was to get that wood to make a pickaxe
@true steepleThank you for the wisp torch advice. I have managed to push in a little bit, light up some ancient metal and a root, and even killed my first Gjall! The torches make things easier.
Hi all, just need some clarification, if a mod mentions this in description 'Can be installed on a server, to enforce the configuration.' does that mean the mod will work for all clients connected to the server regardless if client has mod or not?
is grausten immune to the eitr refinery as well? or is it only black marble?
No, grausten is resistant (not immune) to lightning damage.
so black marble is the only building material that wont take damage from it
Iron cage works too
k cool thx
So do dvergr metal walls. I think that's all of them, but you could check the wiki to be sure
if i made my world before mistland and ashlands can i just explore unloaded parts for mistlands? or do i gotta make a new world?
New content will generate in unexplored areas
thanks🙏
Just wondering if my base should be next to the shore? I know farming is a thing and if this game is anything like minecraft where crops need to be near water?
They do not need to be near water, however being near the water allows you to have a dock and ease of access to the oceans to travel to new islands. Which generally, is inevitable
i see, thanks man
Hello, i was wondering if there's a way of me picking up the stone cutter and moving it without actually destroying it?
No. But you don't lose anything
okay ty
So i just destroy it normally?
yep, as most of other structures, just press MMB (middle mouse button/wheel)
if you burn core wood to coal do you get more coal than with normal wood or it doesnt matter?
nope you got the same
okay thank you mate
Does anyone else stutter when at base? I git a good gaming laptop i7 processor and 16gigs ram and rtx 4080.
Bases are usually laggy because of how many objects are all loaded at the same time.
does valheim have dedicated server??
Not public servers, no
Individuals can have their own dedicated servers
yeah like me and my friends are tired of waiting for eachother to play on the same world.. is there a way for us to not wait on one another
There's a steam server tool, not sure how exactly that works, but there are services who provide servers, like gportal for example, there are others I just don't know them. For better answers about the steam tool, you might ask in #dedicated-server for help with that or other service providers.
we can rent servers right ?
Yes from providers like gportal
ok great thanks
You can rent or host your own dedicated server
do mushrooms respawn at the same spot the way berries do?
Hi, All! i want to delete 2 worlds i made. I have A LOT of materials in thise worlds, is it possible to give it away to other players, jut to ease the grind away!? Also, what would be the best way to do that? Thanks!!!
Invite people into your world. They could then fill their inventory. Then log out. When they join their own world they would still have everything in their inventory.
How do i trash items?
Throw them far from your base so they eventually despawn, or make an obliterator.
gotcha
Is there any jerky type food (balanced) in Ashlands? Still grumpy that neither Plains nor Mistlands had one...
yeah, where's our lox jerky? 🙂
I take that as a no?
heres all the ashlands foods and their ingredients
there isnt a jerky
So devs just abandoned the concept of balanced food after the wolf jerky? Sad, I actually like the tradeoff between top stats vs longer duration.
Well, it makes a lot less sense once you start having to eat Eitr food as well. You can balance your stats quite well using all 3 foods.
I don't do magic though 😄
i guess in their minds we would eat different foods balancing our health and stamina based on how much we need, i do agree that having a food with 50/50 would be nice though
We can, just get a high HP food and a high STA food and bam, you're balanced.
This latest playthrough I've actually come to appreciate using one health, one stam and one jerky, using the longest duration H and S ones, means I don't need to refresh so often and I usually have enough of both
we need a food that gives mediocre buffs that lasts for like an hour
Two H - sometimes short of stamina, two S - often too damn squishy
No we don't. Food that lasts for 2 entire days makes no sense.
more like 3
That's what I liked about the Jerky though - lower total stats but longer duration. On average it balance out and I can do long runs without needing to bring six stacks of food
it's just variety. maybe they thought too many food choices at one level is too much complexity. 🤷
who knows
Yeah, I'm still sad. Going forward it'll be HHS all ze way. To heck with magic!
An hour would be 2 days.
Yeah the full day cycle is 30 minutes total right
Although I swear when you are in the swamp low on foods and the rested buff dropped off, night lasts like 30 minutes anyway. Some kind of magic time warp there
It just seems that way when it's so dark and miserable.
Hell yeah, funny how that works
Is the best way to level attacks, by fighting using low level weapons so you hit more, or does damage matter?
Just hits, so you've got the right idea.
is there like a wooden sword or something like a training weapon?
Not really no.
A bronze sword should work well enough
It’s best to gain skills through normal gameplay, you never need to stop what you’re doing to grind skills.
hi is there anyone that have tried to change skin color by mods after the ashlands update i have a character that i created when i first started but i want to keep him and change a bit
Probably best to ask in #mods-issues or #mods-discussion 🙂
oh sorry ı taught this is the place
No worries, Its just that people there are more familiar with mods 🙂 this channel Is mostly for vanilla
I've got a dilemma
Been playing exclusively mapless forever, just shy of 200 hours in the game, and I've hit the mistlands
I've been in the mistlands for about 15 hours now and I haven't seen my gear in about 7
Is it time to turn the map on?
If I could ONLY see the mistlands on the map I'd be fine with it but I know I'll see the entire map and everywhere I've been and I was saving the reveal for when me and my buddy beat the game.
I feel like we could do Ashlands mapless it's just Mistlands SUCKS mapless (not a complaint about the game development, it definitely should suck mapless)
If you do get your gear back, try making wisp torch trails wherever you explore. I do this even with a map so so I can see where I’m going
This has got to be the weirdest yet most interesting map I have ever gotten, also I dont undestand why but it spawned 3 boss summoner stone of eyktheir right next to eachother, 2 of which are litterally 30 meters apart
I started doing that with the yggdrasil I'd stocked up but it just isn't enough mapless
I am guessing its because somehow with all the weird terrain it basically linked togheter 2 islands, although that is my best guess
There are always 3 eikthyrs, and I’ve found 2 close together before too
Ohh really, In all my other games I found the one and never really found other boss summoners unless it was a completely different island. Didn't know more then 1 spawned
Every boss has more than one altar.
I find it very odd they spawn so stupdily close to one another though
The world generation doesn’t recognise individual islands for anything.
It's so you can actually find them. It's the tutorial boss after all.
It’s all random, they’d usually be separated more
I know that, but when you spawn into the world the bird litterally tells to you click the red stone and it instantly reveals the eyktheir location
It reveals the closest, like all vegvisirs
alright, just random chance then. Got it
The entire game is based on RNG, yeah.
Iirc Its 3 Eik, 4 Elder, 5 Bonemass, 3 Moder, 4 Yag, 5 Queen and don't remember Fader, maybe 4?
- They broke the pattern and I hate it.
Ashlands are way too small to need 5 boss locations
XD thought the same thing
Well, exactly.
I atleast hope that when ashlands has 5 then DN will also have 5
I wouldn't count on anything at this point.
Why are hearths so dang big!? It is hard to design a simple home/ cabin with these things
they are really not that big
Oh. I guess it doesn't really matter anyway. I can't put it where I want it-- in the middle of the house-- because it sits on a wood floor that is covering a basement
I put a stone pillar in my basement for that to support it. You don't need much
Doesn't need to be centered at all either.
Cool! I have a core wood "pillar" down there supporting right in the middle. I'm assuming that that's still not strong enough?
I believe it has to be either stone, or raised earth.
some worlds can have 4, but yea.. i keep seeing mostly 5 in random seed generator
No, the game will always generate 5.
It's JUST about possible that a combination of world gen restrictions it can't place all 5, but it'll certainly try.
hey, does anyone know how to fix frame stutters? me and my friend are getting them. ive noticed them ever since entering the mistlands, about every couple of seconds (3-10, they can be big for half a secondor small for a small fraction of a second)
my specs are enough to pump out 100+ fps in high and i dont know why im getting them, its really annoying and has gotten me killed many times.
yea thats what i meant
Anyone struggling to connect to their server right now?
Helloooo, anyway that me and a friend can both be on debugmode?
Depends on your provider, I'd imagine.
Do i need to install a mod or something?
No only the server hoster
Yeah, you'll need to use Server Devcommands #mods-discussion can help you with that.
Thanks im gonna try it
What frame rates are you seeing during these moments?
Thanks, im gonna try a mod anyways
my game runs at 100 fps usually, but my screen just freezes for a little when i get the spike. i only get this with valheim, not any other game
i did get a new monitor, could it be some issue with freesyc or smth?
What frame rates are you seeing whilst it stutters?
you have a framerate readout on screen and it goes to 0?
Ok, that's what I needed to know. Have you had it happen when you are alone? And do you get mobs teleporting around?
my friend said he seems to get it around me, i get it alone too yeah
It sounds like your connection to the server is lagging.
nah mobs dont teleport, i have been noticing a little ping issues too
yeah
like my friends fireballs explode late, or the damage i deal is registered late
but thats pretty uncommon
Yeah, that sounds like connection issues. Are you using a hosted server?
my breeder is working rn they are happy and eating, but sometimes when i come back from whatever and check again 2-3 hours later .. they wont eat anymore 😦 they are to close to each other? or what is the problem here? 😦
i host a server for my friend and i
i just press that little "start server button" which my friend joins from
i have a wifi extender which i connect to my pc with ehternet cable
so its kinda both.. my internet is fine in literally ever other game i play, never get ping issues other than from valheim
Yeah, Valheim stresses things in ways other games don't.
If you can, uses a fully wired connection. And if your friend has better internet speeds than you, try having them host.
i cant get a fully wired connection, im too far from my modem
There's probably networking settings you can tweak, but that stuff is beyond me.
how can i transfer the world files to my friend?
There's like a couple of files, iirc, which you can just upload to a cloud storage solution and have them download them and put in the right place.
If you ask again when Smiffe is around, they might be able to help.
You just need the fwl and db files for the world.
typically found in C:/users/user/appdata/locallow/irongate/valheim/worlds or worldslocal
Is there any mod to remap the controller? I tried steam overlay but it wont breakup the default binding in valheim.
interesting. guess i ll collect sap before sleeping
how do i get publioc test
You can look at pinned message from Munin in #valheim-public-test 🙂
First make sure you have the ‘I want to be a public tester’ role selected in ‘Channels & Roles’.
they have that 🙂
Can I join a valhaim server if the host is not active?
if its a dedicated server then yes
server that is on all the time, that is hosted on external server somewhere, compared to a player hosted server that player can host on their own device, that one is on only when the host player is playing
I just got access tor bronze, and i was wondering what weapon is the best for me to make first?
Make the axe so you can chop birch and oak trees for a new type of wood
axe for wood, atgeir for troll disposal, mace for the next biome
should i use fire arrow spam for the elder?
Mace is great for quick incapacitation, but what do you do when the enemy has time to wash their eyes in a nearby stream?
if you arent confident in skill checking him in melee with shield and axe...
nah i played tons of darksouls ima just roll round him
parrying is super ez in this game if you are coming from the soulsborne games
never really used parrying in Souls likes, besides bloodborne, but I've been using parrying in Valheim and it seems pretty easy
it is
Any bronze melee weapon works well and you can easily block his attacks, roll through them or walk away. Just try not to get far enough to trigger his ranged attack. There's no point in parrying bosses because it uses more stamina than rolling and won't stagger the boss.
if i stay close will he summon those wood tentacles?
Yes, but they're very weak
yeah, somtimes he will
just move
When blocking his stomp you need to aim your shield below the centre of his body, not his foot.
I appreciate the advice, thanks. I should be good for now.
GL dude! Say 'hi' to Jenny for me.
i've killed Bonemass, but i've never seen a surtling; so why am i being raided by surtlings now?
Because you've killed Bonemass. You said it yourself.
the wiki says the requirements are having killed bonemass AND a surtling
A surtling dying is another requirement
off-screen kills by water count as well...
AH
And it could've died off-screen
indeed
should I expect the Howling Cavern locations to be the tallest mountains on the map?
ok, ty!
Not necessarily.
i stumbled uppon them very often in good big mountains, they were common for me to find them by accident, so explore big bass mountains and you may get across one, altough hildirs map is still the best
Should I cap my framerate at what my monitor's refresh rate is?
I’d round down but I don’t know what’s actually best
set to 60
or turn on vsync, its the best you can do
it also prevents screen's stripping or something like that i dont remember
it prevents that by setting the framerate to the monitor max
useful for some games and monitors and less so for others...
where my equipment is if I exited the game after getting killed before respawning? I returned to the place where I was killed but there is no tombstone there
You’ll need to load a backup (use the manage saves button on character/world select). It didn’t save correctly.
Is the game more fun with a group? I'm playing solo and feel like I'm spending hours harvesting/running back resources to my base instead of actually doing anything. Does having more players quicken this process?
Not really. Because you need more mats.
hey is anyone else having issues with the game crashing? havent had them before but recently i had like a unity and valheim logo pop up with an error or something (happened like 3 or 4 times in one night)
Where it does help, though, is you can divide the work and get multiple things done simultaneously.
world mods ftw
Mines stable. Are you using the Steam version? If so, check the install.
Except then you don't agree on what to do WITH the resources,one guy just wants to build, one person ends up doing ALL the farming...
I am using the steam version, verifying my files and moved my install onto a more stable drive and it still happened just slightly later
World mods exist on single player so that rather negates that advantage.
Hehe, yeah, I’m lucky that with my group we naturally fell into a good division of labour, most of the time.
Same with us, though we did have to ditch one guy back in the day who just used resources to build his own projects.
If you did that, then it’s likely a hardware issue.
oh thats so upsetting to hear
I mean, check all drivers, etc. But I’m assuming you did that already.
i checked my gpu but if could name a few others that would be great
GPU drivers would be the main ones, but chipset/motherboard drivers also.
Does anybody know if windmills continue milling if you're away (the zone is not active), like furnaces?
yes
its unforgetable experience with 1 or 2 pals, too much guys can make game too grindy and too hard (constantly needing to help someone in something/get his things back), i definitely recommend playing with homies for the 1st time
how popular is the Eitr-weave gear? do people find the +eitr regen worthwhile?
The full set will increase your eitr regeneration by 100%, so it’s definitely worth using if you want to use magic
The low defence isn’t an issue because of the staff of protection
i guess i'm still skeptical of the staff of protection because of my inexperience with it. just such a different playstyle
the most important feature is that it makes your parry invincible
no more 2 star mobs hitting trough it
yeah, saw that. of course avoiding being in range to need to parry is probably best. let my skellies be in melee, while i float at range. shit happens obviously
If there’s not many enemies it can be safe to break your shield for extra damage by parrying
im in range because i want to parry to burts a mob into oblivion
I need some assistance regarding save files; does anyone know what to do when characters disappear and reloading older saves results in nothing?
makes sense. i play it safer in general, i suppose
It’s good if you’re fighting a single starred enemy, because there’s nothing to hit you after you parry and it would otherwise take forever to kill
For context, I just left Xbox Insiders preview, and have all save files, but no characters appearing in the select a character menu.
Any saves used in the public test can’t be used on the stable release until the stable release is updated
Ok, thanks.
I can still use my worlds though, they came back when I did tried restoring them. Is it just for characters?
What do you mean by tried restoring them? If you loaded a backup from before you played in the public test, the saves will work. You can do this for any characters if they have backups old enough.
I got two characters to work that are old, and all my worlds, including one I played this morning on the Preview, and one I played a couple days ago on the preview. Both were completely functional once I restored their most recent save, and had builds I made this morning.
I'm struggling to figure out how to unlock the Sap extractor. I've been playing around in Mistlands for several hours now and it's still not unlocked. Any ideas?
The dvergr have a required ingredient
Any Dvergr or do I have to go to their town or something?
Go to one of their locations and find a dvergr component crate. Then break it open and kill them all or run away
If you want to kill them, lure some enemies over first to weaken them
you could also just kill the ward in the area indirectly somehow, and then you can do whatever there. there are some tricks for that.
i like my dvergr bros and try to avoid killing them
Where’s the fun in letting things live 
ah, you play the murder hobo style. i get it. 🙂
well guys im kinda stuck on moder. I have the fenrir armor, frostner and silver shield, should i change to heavy armor or my weapon or something? Any help is appreciated
a lot of people use arrows to kill Moder. if that's your plan, fenrir is fine since you'll be running around shooting her. so it depends on how you want to murder her
She’s immune to frost damage, so you shouldn’t be using the frostner. You dont need to change anything else
What weapon did you make with iron? It should work well
It’s best to use both. Use arrows when she flies then use melee for more damage on land
i tried it but my bow broke after i got her to like 2/3 hp
the iron mace
you could have a covered workbench hidden dug under her altar to repair, fyi
That’s good enough, use that instead of the frostner. Bring an old bow if you have one so you can keep shooting if your main bow breaks again
dont you need the forge to repair the bow?
The finewood bow is good enough, it’s what I use when I fight her
sorry, i assumed finewood. i didn't build the huntsmen or draugr i think the time i used arrows on her
i got the huntsmen, should i get the draugr?
The huntsman bow is quieter, which is good in the next biome
i would get the draugr, it is the best bow untill mistlands
when i first started in Plains, i liked pulling fulings from villages one by one with the more quiet Huntsman bow
you guys think the flesh rippers would go hard?
im trying to use dev commands but it wont let me open up the command box with f5 with a 60% keyboard since i have to use the fn key
any idea how to get around this?
are you on steam?
yes
do you have "-console" on launch options?
no, only valheim and vulkan
i mean here 🙂
now it should open with F5 then 🙂
it worked, thank you!
wtf is the actual area of moders frost breath?!?
They wouldn't be very good at ripping flesh if they weren't hard...
you can dodge it
question about popular mods... are there mods I can use on worlds to edit vanilla entities/objects, like rotate, place precisely, and spawn objects easily... and so that those mods are not needed for others to play in that world?
you can always go into devcommands and spawn stuff
ok, not what I'm asking, but thank you
Probably best asked in #mods-discussion
Hey guys, I'm Brazilian and I have a problem with the game, I just installed it and I can't enter my personal world, the game doesn't load, the message appears saying that it's not responding, does anyone know how to fix it?
You need to wait a few minutes and it will start responding. This only happens when loading a world for the first time. Don’t click anything when it stops responding.
so, i started a single player game, then moved the world files onto my dedicated server which I now play on... when friends play on it, can they locate/kill the relevant bosses for their level? If so are the locating stones the same ones as they were for me?
They can kill any boss at any time if they have the right equipment, items to summon it and know where the boss is. Without a cartography table, the map isn't shared and they will need to find vegvisirs to get boss markers.
@true steeple can any vegvisir find any boss? (at the relevant time)
No. It shows the closest boss spawn of the biome it's in
There is only one meadows vegvisir, but in the black forest it will show the closest elder spawn
i should have mapped them better
Guys, I have a weird problem with Valheim that never happened before, not until Ashlands update anyway
I started fresh world with my friend, and every now and then my game freezes and crashes, last couple of minutes - gone, yet somehow this doesn't affect my friend
He always spawns where we left off before I crashed, with all his items in tact, unlike me
Which one of you hosts?
It's probably because the characters are saved on your account (like in Terraria, not on the world like in Minecraft) so when your game crashes he is kicked from the server but his game can save his character. While your progress doesn't have a chance to save because of the crash
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Because I don't even know what's the problem here - every other game runs fine
I suppose first thing to do is look in the logs to find the cause of the crash
not sure but I think on Windows theyre in C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\IronGate\Valheim
Thanks, I'll look into it
In the swamp, they drop from killing leeches which are in the water
thanks
is there a way to disable enemies from spawning while a boss fight is happening?
@bright hollow lay work benches around the area
Or any other base item. Workbenches would get a bit clunky.
campfires should also work
This was hardcore, managed to kill moder while being attacked by a golem, 2 wolves and the fenris (i think thats its name)
I aint never doing a bossfight without at least 6 workbenches around
Anyhow, do shield block magic damage?
Yes, shields block all damage types from blockable attacks
Figured as much
Died like an idiot to moders breath bc i thought shield wont do anything
xD
You didn’t think to roll if you couldn’t block?
Stamina and bad positioning
Started using more of the environment to my advantage
Her breath was kinda janky, sometimes id get hit, sometimes not
apply raise ground xd
hoe strongest weapon in viking arsenal
what exactly are the sign functions since ashlands? I have heard it's changed, I can't quite recall but it seems to be different
is Valheim wike about axes and clubs correct? It claim that the attack time of one-handed axes and clubs is about the same, i.e. 1.1 seconds for the first attack.
HOWEVER, my charater swings axes much slower that he does with clubs. He's about the same skill in both and is swinging iron axe and club.
the clubs and swords have the same attack speed, axes are indeed slower, and wiki says that
These numbers say clubs and axes are about the same attack time; axes even being faster
1.11 vs 1.14 sec
First hit is faster, other 2 are slower
I'm talking about the first hit only. It does seem like axes do it noticeably slower that axes in game, but the wiki says otherwise
I wonder if there’s some part of the axe starting animation that isn’t counted by the wiki
Hello good evening, does anyone know where I can find the best seeds in the world of Valheim?
You can get vineberry seeds from vineberry clusters
is there any way to turn off stability
Is there a way to get anything snapped in 0.5m increments vertically?
I think only by eyeballing something like a 1x1 floor tile to the side of a 1m pole, say, and then using that as a reference point.
Ok. Is the thickness of the 1m beam 0.5m?
I don’t think so. And they snap to their centre vertically, anyway.
Yeah. I was just thinking of using the thickness as a guide
But I guess you could do 1m pole, snap beam to top and bottom, and the shift-place eyeball a beam between them.
Yeah
I've never used it myself, but doesn't pressing Q and E change snapping points?
It does, but there’s no vertical centre snap on poles. Just either end.
you can stack corewood logs. I think they're about .5m in thickness. Then you can snap off the end of your log.
I mean corewood beams.
If that's not quite the height you need, a standard beam will snap to top or bottom of a corewood beam, giving you an extra bit of height, or taking some away.
Great idea!
why arent my ashvines producing berries? they are clinging to the wall but there no berries at all
takes like 2 hours for them to respawn
iirc
Ashvines are a little bugged (though the berry production rate might be intended).
Just leave them and check them every so often. They will produce berries eventually. But it’s really slow. And you only get like 1-2 clusters per plant. Usually 1.
Also, portalling away, or logging out, may cause growth and/or berry production to revert.
looking for a host site to have my own server. anyone have any recomendations of whos decent and who to avoid]
to defeat Bonemass efficiently, one may need to venture into the Mountains (i.e. next biome) to gather components for Frost Arrows. Does this pattern work for other bosses?
