[subtle parrot]

I find that to be very cheesy though

[kind shore]

How many wood and rocks per hour per one greydork farm?

[subtle parrot]

I have no idea, i don't do them

[kind shore]

**Shouldn't this fell off and just give me all the rocks? 🤣 **

[lilac coyote]

Probably too close to the mountain still.

[kind shore]

Yh you right, 2 more hits and it just disappearead

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, the hitboxes are quite large. This is also true when you're mining ore.

[wanton veldt]

i have a question regarding elemental dmg and resistance/weakness, if i have 1 armor piece that gives direct weak to fire, then a armor set bonus tha gives resistance to fire, where am i really at? do i still need to drink fire resistance potion for more resistance?

[true steeple]

The strongest resistance is used, they don’t stack.

[wanton veldt]

and what abt weakness / resist? does resist override any weakness?

[true steeple]

Serpent scale shield’s pierce resistance stacks with root harnesk or Bonemass because it’s applied in blocking calculations.

Resistance always overrides weakness

[wanton veldt]

real

thx gang

[obsidian axle]

really bummed out that I still cant get this rock to break

[orchid iron]

Is there no silver buckler ? if no, should I upgrade to using silver shield ?

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[barren yarrow]

How does one spawn seekers amd devrger in creative?

[lilac coyote]

The spawn command works as spawn ItemID quantity quality

[barren yarrow]

I know that,...I've tried spawning seeker by name

Spawn seekersoldier(seeker_soldier) 1 3

Nothing...

I did seekersoldier then I tried seeker_soldier

[lilac coyote]

Probably because that's not the Item ID for a seeker soldier.

[barren yarrow]

Then...what is it....?

[lilac coyote]

SeekerBrute.

[barren yarrow]

Ah, that makes more sense...,what about deverger?

[lilac coyote]

Which one?

Incidentally, the full(99% anyway, we're missing a few I think) list is here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs#Creatures

[analog rose]

Hey question as I am new to this game and pc. The game opens in borderless fullscreen, but it’s not really fullscreen as sometimes I will still end up clicking out of my window onto my discord page or whatever other screen I have up at the time. How do I force the game into being a true fullscreen mode. That way I’m not clicking on any other windows.?

[lilac coyote]

-screen-fullscreen might work in the launch parameters.

[fiery pollen]

does sledgehammer mining for silver still work?

[naive sentinel]

hey y'all, just saw valheim is leaving gamepass on PC, am I able to move my save to steam?

[wispy dome]

should be possible by just moving world and character files, Idk much about it, I can't quite tell you where they are

[wispy dome]

this comment seems to have the directory path for the world files but idk if gamepass is different #dedicated-server message

you might be able to find more useful info by using discord's search function in the server

[analog rose]

I’ll try that. Thank you

[limpid geyser]

whats better troll armor or bronze armor

[true steeple]

Troll armor only has 6 less defence, is easier to make and won’t slow you down, so it’s better.

[limpid geyser]

taking out how easy it is to make would u still say its better

[true steeple]

Yes, 6 less defence is worth it for 10% more movespeed

[distant star]

Does anyone know why I would have an onion make it to its second stage before randomly deciding it needs more room to grow? Nothing has changed about the field since I planted them

Ah.... apparently it was a lie? Same onion now fully grown and collectible. Would this be a #steam-bugs-discussion?

[velvet field]

first time going into the mistlands... any tips or advice?

[true steeple]

Mine black marble before entering infested mines so you can get better food

[vagrant bobcat]

it worked for me with stagbreaker... idk about sledge

[true steeple]

They both work because they have the same attack

I’ve never done it though, I don’t know why I’d want to skip Bonemass.

[frosty frost]

Stagbreaker Is a bit easier to use since it shows you "too hard" instead of "0" iirc 🙂

[kind shore]

Can you guys give me a small hint what can I do with the dragon egg? (without spoiling much) ^^

[true steeple]

They’re the item you sacrifice to summon the mountains boss

[willow raft]

What blobicycake said and you can also use it as decoration.

[icy birch]

Last night everyone’s ore disappeared from storage. One house was warded and the ore is gone too. The bars are fine. Anyone hear of this happening?

Dedicated always on server

[true steeple]

Was it just ore? Was the ore placed recently? If so, it could’ve been a saving problem?

[molten mountain]

or perhaps some kind of lag or desync?

[icy birch]

Not sure it was found by several people this morning to be missing and yes just ore (copper and tin) in this case

[true steeple]

Had anything else happened, or just ore going missing?

[molten mountain]

or maybe someone grabbed the ore to smelt it all?

[icy birch]

Just the ore. Some of the missing was from inside a warded house. Nothing else is missing Oh well gonna chalk it up to Odin’s will. Thanks all

[orchid iron]

What's a good food combo for the mountain biome ? I think Eyescream and Wolf Meat skewers are a given, but am lost on the 3rd spot, I think onion soup offering mostly stamina makes it not ideal ? maybe go with sausages for the 3rd spot ?

[true steeple]

Using 2 stamina food is just as good as 2 health, but you'll need to play differently. If you want 2 health with mountains food, you'll need to use sausages.

I use a wolf meat skewer, onion soup and either sausages or eyescream

[clear spear]

Someone knows what up... i get fuling raids on my hard server even tho i haven't killed moder or yalguth etc.
I have spawned in a dragontear but that shoulden't unlock the raids, do it?

[buoyant peak]

Did you return sealed tower's chest to hildir?

[true steeple]

If the player based raids world modifier is on, a dragon tear would enable fuling raids.
If it's not on, has anyone else played on this world?

[clear spear]

no

[clear spear]

the modifier is on and we do have other players but they haven't got raided by fulings, only me :S

[buoyant peak]

If other players have returned moder's trophy then that would be enough

If the setting is off

[true steeple]

That means the modifier is working, then

[clear spear]

Is there anyway to reset it somehow?

We haven't killed bonemass yet lol xD only black forest boss and eityr is up on stones

[true steeple]

Why did you spawn the dragon tear? If you have one of those, you're supposed to be ready for fuling raids.

[clear spear]

Well, we already completed valheim together so as a 2'nd run we made our bases with all stuff you may imagine as you need in crafting tables etc, but not gear and food and such so we still gotta play the game but have our castles haha.

Thing is we got a mod with an enchanting table that required a dragons tear to upgrade it and i forgot to do it with my '' main '' character so i did it on my survival character which may of been stupid lol

[true steeple]

You're probably not supposed to upgrade it until after moder, then?

[clear spear]

yeah since it was required to have the tears to upgrade it

but we didn't hang up the trophy, i thought that activated the raids, haven't touched the boss at all, only spawned the item he do drop

[true steeple]

Without player based raids, they are determined by slain bosses and enemies. With player based raids, it's based on collected items and powers.

[clear spear]

I know ^^
It's not my problem tho, my problem is that i get raided by fulings even tho i haven't killed moder or put up her trophy ^^

But must be that i held the dragonstear then i guess

[torpid cipher]

When looking for the boss in the Plains, do you hsve to dig in the stone henge looking area or not??

[frosty frost]

nope, just look for rocks that look like a hand reaching from the ground 🙂

[steel quiver]

Yeah it's out and about in the plains.

[torpid cipher]

I've found alot of stone henge looking areas but non like that

[wispy dome]

it is currently the harderst boss to find, but the size of the hand is similar to the stone pillars. it would be hard to miss if you see it

there is a boss location stone but it's harder to find than the boss altar 😂

[mellow lodge]

the vgesir thing is arund also. i've found it on multiple run throughs

[junior sigil]

The stone henges sometimes have a vegvisir that will mark the boss for you.

[torpid cipher]

exactly what im looking for what do they look like??

[frosty frost]

the boss waypoint, the stone with red circle, thats vegvisir

[torpid cipher]

lmao for some reason i forgot what they were called i knew that already just hella tired

been to 4/5 stone henge structures and nothing so far 🥲

[frosty frost]

yeah, they are kinda rare thing 🙂 its usually faster to look for the altar itself

[junior sigil]

Unfortunate luck. But yeah, you'll either find one or just run across an altar.

[torpid cipher]

🥲

Thank you anyway

[kind shore]

How can I cook fish in game? Wooden grate and iron one doesn't work for me

[lilac coyote]

Cauldron.

[kind shore]

Do you guys have any idea how to collect items that fell from the sea serpent but are too deep?

[stoic trench]

Generally, you won’t be able to collect those materials if the serpent was killed in deep water. If you’re close enough to shore, you may be able to build a staircase/something tall to jump off of and sink far enough to collect the materials. Otherwise, best bet is to kill the serpents on or close to the shore.

[kind shore]

Damn, trick with the stairs worked really well thanks

[last heron]

hi

[last heron]

helpme

[stoic trench]

With?

[lilac coyote]

Guess we'll never know.

[noble latch]

any way i can reduce the sensibility even lower than 50% idk maybe in the config file of the game or some mod ??

[echo ore]

okay. i give up. how DO you get tamed boars onto a boat? whenever i successfully do, they just run back off

[wispy dome]

boss that spawned from a runestone will always try to go back to the runestone. Besides that it's far easier to transport untamed animals

boars might be even harder since there is no command to make them stand still like wolves

[echo ore]

yep. he spawned at runestone. and i did actually get him untamed to my base. but he RAN out when i opened the door and ran ALL THE WAY BACK!

[wispy dome]

yep, you did an oopsie with a runestone boar

[echo ore]

he's a 2-star, thats why i care

[wispy dome]

since it's tamed, bringing it back might be close to impossible, maybe impossible if it's on sea. it's offspring on the other hand won't have that need to run

[echo ore]

good point. it might be worth just breeding him where hes at

then take his kids

[wispy dome]

bringing tamed boars across the ocean might be a huge challenge even if they aren't a runestone boar, good luck. I've never tried and don't wanna try it 😂

another option would be to build the breeder across the ocean and teleport to it every now and then. won't be as good as a breeder close to home but it works

teleporting away after the piglets are born and coming back later to make them mature or something like that

[compact heath]

I managed to ship those around with the longship, best way is to wait for their offspring because tamed ones sometimes want to walk back to their spawn location too, so breed in place and then transport. The Ashlands ship is even better to transport them with, even Karve can work, do not try with the raft please 🙂

[naive salmon]

Does anyone know a way to reduce the heat shimmer effect in Ashlands? It make the biome unplayable for me because it starts giving me headaches.

[frosty frost]

with what?

[willow raft]

Push a pregnant boar above or on your boat and wait till the piglet pops out and sail where you want to sail, if you can get a couple of piglets on it even better.
They don't aggro, only run away if they get damaged if I'm not mistaken, they have a smaller hitbox so less likely to clip trough the boat in heavy weather, they are slower and don't wander as much.

[kind shore]

Which weapon is the best for fighting? I'm using copper knife rn and I feel it's not enough

[true steeple]

If you want to keep using knives, go sailing to find leviathans to make the abyssal razor. You should also make an iron mace, as the third boss is resistant to all physical damage except blunt.

[hollow mantle]

There’s no single best weapon.

As a player that likes ranged combat, I might say the Huntsman Bow is the ‘best’.

A player that likes to do melee AoE attacks might say an Atgeir is the ‘best’.

And so on.

[willow raft]

I for one would pick the copper knife or Abyssal Razor if sailing and getting the needed chitin for it is an option and an iron mace.
Copper knife has very fast attack speed and the lunge you can do with is can frequently stagger monsters that you can then dispose of quite quickly, if you are decent at sneaking it can also one shot lunge kill most enemies.
If you use a buckler staggering a mob and then slashing it up with a copper knife is pretty viable.
Though against skeletons and bonemassthe mace is better.

[molten mountain]

i quite like spears against single enemies: throw the spear to cause a stagger, then run in, pick up the spear and then vigorously apply the pointy end. Though this isn't quite ideal when fighting alongside friends, they will accidentally steal your spear when it's on the ground

[tired root]

There is no "best option for every situation" but there are good options for different situations. Usually carrying 1 weapon of each physical damage types (blunt, pierce, slash) is helpful since some enemies resist specific damage type or is weak against other. So usually having Mace, Axe/Sword and Bow fill up every physical damage types you need against most enemies, but you are free to choose the weapons you prefer.
That being said, Mace is king in Swamp against most enemies except against one.

[shy shard]

There's a variety of weapons that fit different purposes

I we wanna metagame I think swords and clubs are up there for most of the game

knives and atgeir are cool but they only do pierce damage, which is already dealt by bows and crossbows

I find them redundant

[true steeple]

Polearm secondary has 6x stagger multiplier, that's definitely not redundant.

[willow raft]

Knives have the lunge which frequently staggers mobs and 6x backstab which can't by done bows and crossbows.
They also pair well with bucklers to parry and then stagger lock mobs.

[true steeple]

Also you need a very high bow skill for their dps to get anywhere close to the melee weapons

[noble iron]

Hello, Im using upgrade world mod to replenish the chests and dungeons on my server. When I use the chest command, it empties all the chests instead or re rolling them. any help would be great.

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion #mods-issues

[loud linden]

Is there a toggle for auto-stacking the inventory (if so I've pressed it and don't know what I pressed), or is stacking just broken atm?

[frosty frost]

i dont believe there is, you either hold E or press the button on top of the chest inventory window

[loud linden]

Hmm ok. I'm just finding that I'm picking up more items of the type that are already in my inventory (and incomplete stacks) that don't add to the stack - they take up a new inventory slot.

[frosty frost]

that happens sometimes with gravestones i believe 🤔

[loud linden]

I'm in a sunken crypt

It's happened with Chains, with Rubies, and with Withered Bones.

[frosty frost]

might be good to put it in bugs discussion channel in case its unknown 🙂

[echo ore]

yeah, that happens to me a lot. i just restack the stuff and move on :\

[late hawk]

why are my asksvin not breeding, the area is large enough i think and they are fed

[shadow sparrow]

Hello, i have a dedicated server on my laptop

We arrive ashland, but its get lag

There any way to allocate more ram to server?

[silent jackal]

tbh u need a lot of stam for it but i love using the stag breaker especially in dungeons. ive upgraded mine to lv 3 and it makes clearing mobs so easy and you dont take very much damage because it staggers them all and knocks them back, allowing you to wind up for your next attack before they recover and are able to attack you

you also can clear mobs through walls/doors with it because of its massive aoe.

[true steeple]

There's a better version available in swamps, the iron sledge

[fading pivot]

Hi! This is only accessible in undiscovered swamps?

[fading pivot]

Iron sword

but you will need bronze mace for blunt

[junior sigil]

Are there eggs laying around? After a certain number of eggs in the area they stop unless they are picked up (and they tend to stand over them for awhile and can't really be pushed). Alternately, do you have too much space and they're not close enough to each other?

[late hawk]

there are no eggs, i'll try the one with they have too much space

[junior sigil]

I put 6 in about a 16m x 8m space, and collect the eggs as they go.

[true steeple]

This update hasn’t released but when it has, this will only generate in unexplored swamps if it works like previous updates.

[keen bough]

when equipping the wisp light, does enemy detection of you become easier? it sheds more light. does this affect detection in the mistlands more than other biomes? I am under the impression that if you do NOT have the light, enemies have just as hard of a time detecting you as you do them. Are these observations accurate?

[true steeple]

The light will allow enemies to see you from slightly further away when you’re crouching.

It’s barely noticeable without a very high sneak skill

[keen bough]

well, high sneak skill doesn't scale detection stats... just stamina usage, right?

[true steeple]

When sneaking in a dark place, the range enemies can see you from will decrease, indicated by the bar below the crosshair. Sneak skill reduces the minimum level this bar can reach.

[keen bough]

ohhhh, i didn't realize that

[true steeple]

With low sneak skill, the bar is always almost full

[keen bough]

interesting. ty

[true steeple]

Unless you’re crouching directly in front of enemies, the wisplight won’t make any difference

[keen bough]

thank you.

oh, and is this true or just my imagination?

enemies have just as hard of a time detecting you as you do them

specifically the mist in the mistalnds

[echo ore]

so, i just got killed by a two-star wolf. well, i want that wolf! i want to train it! but when i came back to get my body, he is GONE. like, NOWHERE in sight. where do they go? i died when it was night, and its now day, is that a factor?

[lilac coyote]

Night spawns despawn at daybreak.

[echo ore]

oh :(. guess i can tear down this pen then

[lilac coyote]

More will spawn the next night.

[echo ore]

2 stars though?

[lilac coyote]

That's just RNG.

[fading pivot]

thanks

hope the release it soon

[fading pivot]

did they said when it will be released?

[true steeple]

https://valheim.com/news/development-blog-new-and-improved

we’re working on a little something that will be with you during the fall…

[ruby merlin]

Returning player! After I kill the queen, what raids do I get? I'm on a server and don't want to f.. my friends over by doing the queen without them, but they're not available for ages xD

[true steeple]

You get a raid that directly spawns common ashlands enemies, and a raid that creates spawners for the same common enemies.

[ruby merlin]

Ah crap.. I guess I wait for them 😛

[mellow lodge]

can you tell if an askvin egg has a star or not? or do you have to wait until its hatched? (1 parent is a 1star, the other is normal.)

[molten mountain]

there are difficulty options for worlds now! One of which is for player-based raids. I believe it would make it so that ashlands raids will only spawn on your location, but not at other players

[shy shard]

Is there a better way to farm blood magic damage than sitting on a fire source ?

[mellow lodge]

i set up a greydwarf farm where i could AFK while my bow skellies shot the spawns. There's a good youtube video. Side benefit of having all the wood, stone, greydwarf eyes, whatever you need forever afterwards. i like building those type of farms however.

[mellow lodge]

so it turns out a 1 star egg will have a "2" on it, like a level for an item.

[rich cradle]

what should i consider for setting a base? ,i only explored 2% of the started island and have a troll armor

[true steeple]

Having a base on a starter island is ok. Some people stay there for their full playthrough, but many players including myself move to the fifth biome for a base once properly prepared. There’s nothing wrong with making a main base in whatever biome you want to build in.

[compact heath]

Make a small base somewhere, in some play throughs I use one of the abandoned houses with some addons, until I build my first real base usually in Swamp (this is an uncommon thing to do but I love that biome and what it unlocks) - some play throughs I build a base in EVERY single biome! You can build an endgame base even in Meadows or Black Forest or any other biome if you want, mostly I recommend doing it in a biome you love the look and feel of. You can get away with living out of a tiny ruined house and fixing that up for quite a while until you're sure where to build something bigger and better. Hope that helps.

Additional things, I like to be relatively close to the sea, for transporting certain things by ship, and the location MUST be beautiful, another bonus is if you have other biomes relatively close, the more the better.

[rich cradle]

^ ..i did not go through past the ocean yet,, im afraid of drowning and loose my armor,,that troll i kill it by going up higher in a abandon tower while he whacks me with all his might😅 ,,i manage to avoid being a gravestone phew😚

[compact heath]

Trolls will become less scary and be replaced with other scary things as you progress 🙂 Gravestone will NEVER despawn once they have been created until they are fully looted. They also float in the sea, if you die at sea you will only loose your nails and hides if your ship gets destroyed, the wood floats, and the cargo of the ship floats too in some boxes but will despawn if it takes you too long to get back.

[rich cradle]

i am biulding a ship now,,will try to cross the ocean and find the mechant🤔 ,,i recenly unlocks bronze items,,portals works with destination A and B only? or can i set portal A my home and portal B and C to any location, and if i use B or C it will auto go back to A?

[stoic trench]

Portals can only connect to one other portal at a time. However, you can rename a portal to connect to a different one.

[compact heath]

Merchants (2 currently) can be hard to find, depends a little on luck. The Portals there is 2 ways to do it. 1. is to have Portal A at home and a second Portal A at the location you want to teleport to, and a Portal B at another location and another Portal C at another location, and you change the one at home to A, B, C depending on where you want to go (DIAL IN PORTAL), the OTHER WAY 2. is to have lots more portals to have A, B, C at the base and another A, B, C out in the world, this requires more space in the base and more materials (PORTAIL PAIRS)

[copper raven]

is it possible to rebind the enter key? as someone who uses the arrow keys its extrely tedious to only be able to chat with it, a function i never use anyway. In other games that forcebind enter i have kp_return and enter switched, but valheim seems to be able to ignore the fact that i xmodmap rebound it... which is impressive and very annoying

[copper raven]

if you are open to mods theres TargetPortal. Theres similar ones that offer a dropdown menu to select where you want to go, but that is much less easy to understand than showing athe portals on a map that you click on; which targetportal does. You can use it only on your client with players who dont have the mod, they can only use the old behavior of same-names, but you can portal to anything. You dont need to name the eportals either, but it does make it easier to reference them when telling someone where you intend to go.

[steep tree]

Do mini-bosses respawn?

[mellow lodge]

No. But they show up again in raids.

[mellow lodge]

The hildr bosses anyways

[steep tree]

Darn....

[buoyant sorrel]

if a mod was last updated like a year ago or more is it highly likely that it won't work?

[copper raven]

@buoyant sorrel depends what its modding.

client-side are probably more likely to still work

what mod?

[buoyant sorrel]

ive recently setup a dedicated server for me and my friends and ive added some mods that are both client and server sided

i didnt have any mod in particular but ive just seen on nexus that a lot of the most downloaded mods havent been updated for a while

do you have any mod recs?

[compact heath]

#mods-discussion is the best place to talk about that imo

[spring frigate]

dose destroying your boat with axe will give me all mats back? cuz id swear to god last time i tried nails were gone for good

[willow raft]

Yes, most things will give you everything back, the exceptions are materials that are used for fuel or have been put in to process.
Nails sink though so if you have broken your boat in a deep enough part of the water then you will lose them.
Best thing is making a shallow dock or pushing your boat onto the shore and then breaking it.

[spring frigate]

ok nails are here, thanks ♥

[humble trench]

Manage saves stuck at "Please Wait" for over 30m. I need fix please. i was trying to switch from local to cloud on xbox pc

[hollow mantle]

Moving save from local to cloud?

[humble trench]

yes via xbox app on pc

[hollow mantle]

did you make a backup?

[humble trench]

Nope, but when i log into my xbox console, it is on cloud and work fine to my latest progress

[hollow mantle]

In that case you're probably ok to just quit the app on PC. But maybe wait for @lapis terrace or someone to confirm.

[humble trench]

it is been like that for few days now. how can i switch to local again? i mean extract the files

[hollow mantle]

oh, you want to move/copy the world/character from cloud to local?

[humble trench]

yes sir. but i can not becase manage saves stuck on please wait. how can i reslove this stuck up?

[humble trench]

how can i move my game save from cloud to local in my case ?

[hollow mantle]

Sorry, was busy elsewhere. Unfortunately I don't know enough to help you further.

[kind shore]

How can I fly in game? I'm just stuck in some kind of castle and I just can't leave

[true steeple]

If you have to, you could break out with a weapon

[kind shore]

You mean by digging?

[true steeple]

Use your weapons to damage the bricks

[kind shore]

But it's still to high

Also no wood for stairs

[true steeple]

Can’t you break that wall on the left of the screenshot?

[kind shore]

but it's in mountain

There is no free space

Only from the top

[true steeple]

Do you at least have enough wood for a workbench?

[kind shore]

nah

I have an idea

[silent jackal]

Is the battle axe worth it to build? My main weapon up to this point has been my bronze axe but I’m getting iron now and idk if the battle axe is worth it over the normal iron axe. If it’s still one handed so I can use my shield at the same time and the attack speed doesn’t take a huge hit I think I wanna build it but idk

I’ve got 25/30 ancient bark rn

[reef storm]

is there anyone here who really deeply understands the damage calcs in this game that can help me understand something about poison damage?

[true steeple]

I could try helping

[true steeple]

It’s good but slow, so you need to time your attacks well. Jump attacking helps a lot with this

[reef storm]

we are just trying to understand how much bonemass's melee swing will hit you for in hardcore mode, if you have 40 armor. My current guess is that its 145.

damage doubled in hardcore so...

80 phys * 2 = 160 base physical damage for the swing.
50 poison * 2 = 100 base poison damage for the swing.

The poison is reduced to 25 by the poison resistance mead.

So its 160 + 25 = 185 as the damage prior to armor is factored in.

Then, factoring in armor, thats 185-45 = 145.

But also, would the armor entirely factor in on the initial melee damage dealt, and therefore 'not' really apply to the poison ticking in afterward? The intial damage dealt to the player would be 120 (160-40) and then the remaining poison damage would tick in? Feeling confused.

We need to understand if we will be 1 shot or not by it.

[true steeple]

The armor will reduce the total damage, not the individual poison ticks.

145 should be correct

[reef storm]

so if we have 135 health total, does that mean we will have time to take a health pot after the initial melee damage is dealt such that we wont die?

how do we understand how 'long' we have to do that if so?

[true steeple]

Yes, you should be able to.
Since you’re in multiplayer, try to surround Bonemass from multiple angles so you can safely hit his back without any risk of getting hit.

[reef storm]

yeah it will be 4 of us for hardcore bonemass, we've beeen prepping for weeks

wait, will he deal more damage than the wiki says with more players in?

[true steeple]

I think each extra nearby player adds 4% damage

[reef storm]

okay so we really can't get hit then.

or need to take 3 health foods

[true steeple]

Are you using serpent meat/stew?

[reef storm]

No we haven't run into any serpents

Plan was turnip stew, sausage, black soup

[true steeple]

It might be worth going out to hunt them, then you should be able to safely take a hit

[mellow lodge]

for a hardcore run, serpent stew might be a good idea. i've never bothered with it, but i play solo on normal settings

[thorn spire]

I’m impressed you found Binemass’ altar without sailing enough to find a serpent

[true steeple]

If you get unlucky you could go the whole game without finding one

[mellow lodge]

i've sailed a bunch in this run, but i've only bumped into a serpent like twice. but i don't sail at night or in storms, so there ya go. 🙂

i've bumped into more Bonemaws than Serpents lol

[obsidian axle]

seriously, what is the trick to avoid getting fucked by flying rocks that wont break...

[frosty frost]

their hitboxes are larger than the texture you see 🙂 i bet this one is hanging on the right side

[obsidian axle]

everything is so far away..

[cursive condor]

if im making server and using mods, do my friends need to use mods too?

[leaden jasper]

Hey people what's going on?

Just wondering if anyone can help with this, looking for any dev command to spawn a friendly creature like skeletons, draugers and such. Anything friendly at all would be awesome.

Need it for a valheim role play server I'm helping someone to run.

[true steeple]

Without mods (maybe you could ask in one of the mod channels), you can’t make any creature friendly.
You could use spawn skeleton_friendly to spawn the tamed skeletons that are summoned by a dead raiser.

[leaden jasper]

Righto, cheers there.

[lapis terrace]

ask in #xbox-bugs-discussion instead of this channel. this channel is for more gameplay related problems

[south goblet]

anyone know why those fire mobs in the swamp aren't spawning at the fire no more? i built a little farm where they spawn and die to the water but they just don't spawn anymore

[true steeple]

They won’t spawn if a base piece (such as a workbench or campfire) is too close.

[south goblet]

ohh i see, yeh i got a workbech around. thanks a lot 🙂

[reef storm]

we only sail in the day and near islands to avoid one lol

i think hunting them on hardcore would be too dangerous with it doing 140 dmg

anyone can help me ?

[silent jackal]

any point in building the iron buckler over the banded shield?

the stats are worse on the buckler but it takes more iron to craft

[mellow lodge]

look at the parry bonus of each and compare

and parry block armor. buckler is meant for someone always parrying

[silent jackal]

ye thats what i was looking at was the block armor x parry bonus. so like for the iron buckler the bonus is 2.5x but i'd only get 58 total block armor from it so the parry bonus added on top would be 145, but the armor i'd get from the shield is 86 so after the parry bouns it'd be 129, its only like 16 more and it costs more iron as well as ancient bark

like i dont feel like a 16 pt difference is worth the extra mats but if theres something else about it not listed in the stats that makes it better then thats cool

[mellow lodge]

🤷 some people want the parry bonus at all costs, other people would rather have more block armor. the stats are different to give you the ability to make the choice that you want. So going back to your original question: "any point in building the iron buckler over the banded shield?" The answer is: "Yes for some, no for some."

i can't even remember which one i chose in iron age

i might have skipped it entirely

[lilac coyote]

Never used one. Probably never will.

[mellow lodge]

maybe my hypothetical next run through should be all two handed weapons/no shield at all.

[tiny violet]

as enemies start to hit for more damage, the banded shield may not be able to parry, and you'll stagger and/or take damage. whereas the buckler maybe will be able to parry. like if an Abomination attacks, maybe a buckler can parry but a banded shield cannot, not sure of the specific stats if that example holds true, but it is just an example. you might find there are a lot of stronger enemies that hit for a damage number between 129 and 145. it is the difference between taking damage and/or stagger yourself, and making the enemy stagger. it can be a big difference. if you try to parry almost all attacks, go buckler. if you just hold the shield out in front of you blocking multiple enemies, go shield or perhaps even tower shield, up to personal preference

[lilac coyote]

My preferred route. Though an assist from a magic shield in Ashlands is appreciated.

[tiny violet]

it'd be cool if your shield bubble didnt take damage if you do a perfect parry. i know it doesnt totally make sense physically, but thatd be cool.
kind of how when you perfect parry a javelin or an arrow, the enemy staggers, even though it doesnt make total sense. I know they tried a patch where ranged enemies do not get staggered, but a lot of people disliked it and they reverted it back

[mellow lodge]

you've got to learn the five d's of valheim: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!

ranged enemies getting staggered is certainly odd

i guess the mob has mind just so utterly blown by your amazing parry skill, it shakes him to his core

[tiny violet]

it feels good tho gameplaywise. i played when they patched it out and it was frustrating. i kind of look at it as like, theyre just stunned or shocked that their attack was perfectly parried lol. more of like "stunned" than "staggered", in my mind anyway

hah yes exactly agreed

[true steeple]

I don’t see why parrying shouldn’t have consistent effects between melee and ranged attacks.

[tiny violet]

well i personally agree that it should. i just remember that at one point they removed it

i was just sort of using it as an example of things not necessarily making sense physically, but being enjoyable. because i think it would be cool if a perfect parry with a bubble didnt hurt your shield. however it's probably because my blood magic skill is still rather low

i just think itd be neat

[stoic trench]

Yeah I remember when they removed it, and then shortly added it back. I was pretty happy lol but I didn’t mind when it got removed.

[true steeple]

The problem with this is that it would then allow you to parry everything with no risk until you run out of stamina. Being able to parry any hit once no matter how much stagger it has is still incredibly powerful.

[tiny violet]

yeah i guess that's true. it'd be 0 risk. i just feel like my shield breaks too fast but that's like i said, probably my own issue with not grinding up the blood mage skill

[silent jackal]

i feel like tower shields are shitty cause u cant block while attacking, no? so like a tower shield would just delay the inevitable.

[true steeple]

You can’t block while attacking with other shield either

[silent jackal]

ya but the whole point of the other shields is to parry

gives u time to attack after blocking

[frosty frost]

no? the point of buckler is to parry

[tiny violet]

i dont use tower shields, just included them as an option because it is an option and some people like them. basically, if you parry lots=buckler. if you dont parry at all=tower shield. and if you are somewhere in the middle, the regular shield is the balance

[silent jackal]

and the banded shields. the only difference between the 2 is the buckler can block slightly more dmg

[silent jackal]

im just trying to think of a situation in like a solo playthrough that you wouldnt be trying to parry something other than like a boss attack. can u even block/parry those? i havent tried ever

[true steeple]

Staggering with a weapon is faster than parrying if you can do it in one hit, which most weapon secondaries can against most enemies of the same biome.

[frosty frost]

you dont HAVE to parry with round shield and it still works fine, its the middle ground, you dont have to parry with buckler either but it will not work well, that why the entire point of BUCKLERS is to parry, for round shields its a great thing they can do but you cant say that point of round shields is to parry

[true steeple]

Also tower shields have a high block force for splitting groups

[tiny violet]

you can parry them yes. but as the game goes on, situations arise where you are surrounded by multiple enemies. that is when i sometimes just straight up block and hold the block. 1 on 1 yes im always timing parries. but sometimes when surrounded by multiple attackiing enemies, you cant parry multiple attacks, but you can block multiple while holding out the shield

[true steeple]

Parrying attacks of multiple enemies isn’t a good idea because of the stamina cost

[silent jackal]

i mean bucklers have higher parry bonus, 2.5 compared to banded shield's 1.5... but banded shield has higher base block rating so in the end the buckler is only blocking slightly more with a parry than you would with a banded shield. basically what im saying is you can parry with the other two shields, just not a tower shield, so if you can parry why wouldnt you

[true steeple]

#valheim-help message

[silent jackal]

but if youre fighting multiple enemies at once wouldnt it be better to use something like the atgier anyway?

[true steeple]

Pushing every enemy away in all different directions isn’t particularly effective if you want to kill them fast. You get more control with a tower shield

[silent jackal]

im not tryna be argumentative, just throwing ideas out, if youre fighting a bunch of enemies then if you just hold down block youre going to have to do that the entire time no? cause their attacks are staggered and the moment you let up youre gonna get hit by another attack

i feel like at that point just stack hp and tank the hits while hitting them back

[mellow lodge]

tank hits is horrible. you'll get staggered and die fast

[silent jackal]

but your stagger bar scales with hp tho, or is it only effective if youre blocking

[true steeple]

Your stagger limit is 40% of your health

[mellow lodge]

if you don't want to do shield things, you're WAY better off just avoiding the hit via movement. you can still attack plenty while dip duck dodging. hell, sometimes it's as easy as walking backwards for 1 second lol

and jump

[tiny violet]

there are times I might hold my shield out a minute, regain stam, and then like jump or roll away and make space. there will always be examples of "well why not just use atgeir" etc. but atgeir is kind of OP and not everyone wants to use it every playthrough. if youre going sword and shield and your sword and shield skills are high and atgeir skill is 0 youre not just going to pick up an atgeir. there are infinite styles and preferences. someone might say "why not just walk backwards and use the bow" ... it comes down to this in summation
parrying everything=buckler. never parrying=tower shield. some mixed balance=normal shield

[silent jackal]

im just tryna figure out like the best gear combo cause i dont really like parrying a whole lot cause it takes so much stam, and i like being kinda nimble but attack animations for most of the weapons take a while and if youre using the knife then your attack range is shit and they dont do much dmg unless youre sneaking

[mellow lodge]

path to valhalla=naked with flint spear vs everything

[silent jackal]

LOL

[true steeple]

You could use a 2-stamina diet, bucklers are great for this

[mellow lodge]

there is no BEST gear combo. there's what you want to use

there's probably some WORST combos, lol. like deciding to punch Fader naked

[silent jackal]

i mean theres a "best gear combo" for a particular style of fighting

[frosty frost]

while its raining 😄

[mellow lodge]

lol

[frosty frost]

no, going with him from rain to mountains for the freezing

[true steeple]

Tried jump attacking? When in the air, attacks won’t slow you down so you can keep full movement while in any attack animation.

[mellow lodge]

who cares what is best anyways? do what's fun to you. People can beat the game with everything and nothing

just pick your own best

[silent jackal]

ye ive used jump attacks a few times but it also takes so much stam and if im already tryna parkour through the swamp i dont wanna be wasting stam on jump attacking

[mellow lodge]

it helps your stamina cost if you yell "PARKOUR" everytime you jump. try it

[silent jackal]

xd

[mellow lodge]

it's just science

[silent jackal]

i really hate that we cant put gifs in here

[lilac coyote]

It really doesn't affect much.

[mellow lodge]

you should just do big hammer play through. you can only punch until you get staghammer

then staghammer -> iron sledge -> demolisher. That's it

[silent jackal]

for right now i dont really have any high health foods except for some fish that i took like 2 hours catching cause apparently i suck at fishing in valheim, so im tryna do a stam based build

[true steeple]

Pickaxe only would be a lot more interesting

[mellow lodge]

oh, i guess you have to allow axe and pickaxe for trees and mining

[silent jackal]

picksave?

[mellow lodge]

nice typo i got

[true steeple]

You could get enemies to do it

[silent jackal]

oh lmao

[mellow lodge]

oh snap

you're right

[silent jackal]

ye ive already gotten a few trolls and the elder to do some deforestation for me

[mellow lodge]

flame metal would be fortress only probably. granted, that's all i'm doing at the moment anyways

fortress/dverger

[silent jackal]

i actually really like the stagbreaker

but the run speed is 💩

[mellow lodge]

i think the stagbreaker is slept on. it's the best. especially if you embrace the cheese like i do

[true steeple]

You’d probably need to fish for iron or get very lucky to reach crypt chests without mining, and you’d need to skip silver unless you find some exposed.

[silent jackal]

i saw a cool trick with silver, use the stagbreaker and just mulch everything in the mountain til u see the too hard text and then boom u have silver

[mellow lodge]

[true steeple]

Why not use a wishbone? You shouldn’t be in mountains before Bonemass anyway

[silent jackal]

i have one wolf pelt rn but i think u need like 5 of them for the cape? so i cant go into the mountain yet

[tiny violet]

since you're asking about iron shields, i am assuming you are in swamp biome. have you found ||turnip seeds||? Have you made the cauldron upgrade that it unlocks? have you made the iron cooking station? you could have serpent stew and sausages. or sausages and black soup. those should be pretty decent hp foods

[silent jackal]

i got assrammed by a wolf while fighting a troll, thankfully there was one of those abandoned outpost towers nearby so i just ran up there and cheesed the wolf

[lilac coyote]

Make frost mead so you can survive in the Mountains.

[mellow lodge]

real men drop campfires every 50m

funnily enough, I made Fenris chest before frost mea

[silent jackal]

yes i am and no i havent yet unfortunately, 90% of my time in the swamp so far has been me activating eikthyr buff and then running for my fucking life til i find a crypt and then throwing down a portal and going into the crypt

[mellow lodge]

i was exploring frost caves in bronze gear like an idiot

[true steeple]

Are you in a higher difficulty?

[silent jackal]

i think so

lots of 1 and 2* shit everywhere and a lot of shit spawns

[true steeple]

You can check your world modifiers on the world select screen

[frosty frost]

did you change world modifiers at all?

[silent jackal]

i did a while back

i just cant remember if i dialed it down after or not

[true steeple]

I think difficulty affects enemy level, so if you’re finding a lot of stars the difficulty is probably high

[frosty frost]

or you are just very lucky/unlucky 😄

[silent jackal]

at any given time ive got like 10 draugrs and a few slimes and skellies after me

[true steeple]

It shouldn’t affect the spawn rate though?

[silent jackal]

and there were like 3 phantoms or whatever they are, didnt see one at first and had to run back to grab my shit lol

[frosty frost]

the difficulty should not affect ammount of spawns, only their lvl and strength iirc

[silent jackal]

idk maybe

[true steeple]

Wraiths? They only spawn at night, in Valheim it’s best not to stay outside at night because of increased and more dangerous enemy spawns.

[silent jackal]

ye it was at night, i was making my way throught the outskirts of the swamp next to the forest border and i got jumped lol

i read about that after, now if its night time i just yeet myself back to base to sleep cause those fuckers are a big fuck no and a half

[true steeple]

Wraiths are strong, but with no random movement and only one attack they’re completely predictable.

[silent jackal]

ye i just havent ever tried to fight one, im scared to lose my shit and then not be able to get it back cause theyre guarding it lol. so idk what to expect from their attacks cause the one time i died to one it was from behind me and i didnt see it

i finally got better at fighting the ghosts in the burial chambers tho, that took a while cause afaik they dont really have any attack animation, its just timing that u have to get down. i havent noticed anything else past that that u can use to help dodge/block their attacks

[silent jackal]

i dont think i have the ingredients for that yet or a way to ferment them

oh wait i guess i do have the ingredients, but i dont have a whole lot of blood bags. meads take up a food slot right?

[stoic trench]

Nope, meads are separate from food

[silent jackal]

ah ok cool

[true steeple]

Enemies that spawn at night despawn at day, so the wraith won’t guard your grave if you sleep
Unless it was a wraith spawned at a house, because those don’t care about the time.

[silent jackal]

true

do abominations only spawn at night? ive come across 2 now but luckily both times had just enough stam to run out of aggro range

scared the shit out of me both times

[true steeple]

Abominations are weaker than you’d expect. Fighting an abomination with bronze is much easier than fighting a troll with flint.

[silent jackal]

wait really

ive got troll armor and an iron banded shield and a bronze axe, i should be fine then?

[true steeple]

Yes, that’s perfect

[mellow lodge]

day or night

[silent jackal]

bet. idk why i thought they were stronger than that, this group i had played with kept saying that they were super tough so whenever ive come across one i just dip the fuck out lol

and they were a pretty experienced group, when ashlands came out they made another world and got through it and finished the ashlands in like a week and a half

i ended up stopping playing with them after like a couple days cause the first day we played and we killed eikthyr and i went to bed and the next day i got on and they were already in the mountains lmao

[tiny violet]

if you are competent with timing the parries, then the abominations are not so bad. they seem scary because it was a new mob that came out with an update, so people weren't familiar with them, and they are friggin huge and spider-looking lol so yeah it scares people. but yeah in truth if there's no like other difficult enemies around, they can be parried and chopped down

[mellow lodge]

if you are comfortable fighting trolls, aboms are just another large thing to fight similar to a troll

fire geysers really are the key for them, imo. sure i can chop them down, but much nicer to just keep them on fire

[tiny violet]

im hardly able to lure them and keep them in the right position. theyre so clunky. you can keep them on fire with fire arrows too. i have heard of people luring them ontop of fire geysers and letting them just burn, but it didnt seem to be reliable and quick for me. id rather just parry and chop hah

[silent jackal]

bet

speaking of fire geysers i finally just found one surrounded by water so i can make a charcoal farm now

the only one i found before now was on a mountain side so i just torched it and moved on lol

[mellow lodge]

you can use the hoe/pickaxe to make every one of them surrounded by water

[silent jackal]

how

like there wasnt any water around at all, it was on the side of a mountain

[mellow lodge]

well, that's an odd case. i mean normal ones in the swamps

[silent jackal]

nearest water was like 30 second run away

[mellow lodge]

i've never seen a fire geyer in the mountain. that's crazy

[silent jackal]

ye i mean it was in the swamp kinda but on the border between swamp and forest. i have a vid showing it that i posted in #memes-and-clips yesterday

[silent jackal]

not actual mountain like the biome, just on the side of a mountain

[mellow lodge]

if it's too high to dig down to water, than you can't do anything. but i would think if it's on the biome edge, the level of the ground is pretty low, so you should be able to reach water

i looked at that video. i would 100% build a base around that haha

or at least a little outpost

[silent jackal]

wait why

[mellow lodge]

because it's a neat spot. it's rare to find something like that

[silent jackal]

ah

[mellow lodge]

it could be the center piece of a cool looking building

[silent jackal]

but ye i found a lot of shit there that apparently is abnormal, i also found 3 burial chambers inside of the swamp biome lol

[mellow lodge]

oh, you're that guy

[silent jackal]

i mean i have the vid for proof

[mellow lodge]

i guess you're just lucky

[lilac coyote]

Probably a micro Black Forest within a Swamp, it happens.

[silent jackal]

ye thats what i was sayin

it was right on the border

[silent jackal]

does the geyser act as a campfire?

if it does that would be dope

[mellow lodge]

that's not so special. if it was in the dead center of the swamp, and it was just a burial chamber, and you couldn't tell it was a Black Forest biome from anything else, that would be more interesting

[mellow lodge]

i believe a geyser provides warmth if you're standing next to it, yes.

can you sit next to a geyser to get a rested buff? not sure

[silent jackal]

last time i got too close i caught fire lol, i didnt realize u could catch fire without being right on top of it

[kind shore]

Is it possible to destroy armor to retrieve the materials from which it was made?

Hello, the first time I went to play with my friend everything went fine, it asked me to enter the password, I entered it and logged in normally. When I left and tried to log in to the server again, I was no longer prompted for the password and I kept connecting “endlessly” until one hour I went back to the main menu and it said “failed to connect”. This is happening both on the server my friend is hosting and on community servers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

"failed to connect"

[glass lynx]

we have killed Bonemass 4 times and he only summons skeletons. Is he no longer summoning oozes?

[lavish nova]

I found a dupeliction glitch a few months back and idk if it still works

[lilac coyote]

Ok?

[lilac coyote]

Should still summon skeletons and blobs.

[kind shore]

Yeah this is actually the same thing I was thinking about

[ornate sand]

When I cook food at the cauldron it doesn't fully stack like it stacks to 1 or 3 or 6 but never full

[spring frigate]

Turns out basic wooden standing torches can ignite newly grew trees through the wall

[mellow lodge]

does anyone know if mobs only lay eggs when you're near them? can i portal away, and come back to more eggs? i forget

[subtle parrot]

I think after they've bred, and are pregnant it's just a timer and it should pop out once you return if the timer is up

[mellow lodge]

ok. so if i really want to pump out eggs, i could afk near the breeders

[loud linden]

Punching out offspring requires proximity. Having juveniles grow up does not.

So, hang around for boars and wolves to have babies, and for chickens to lay eggs. Then you can go away.

With that said, it appears that Askvin will lay eggs as long as they're fed, regardless of where the player is. (Happy to be corrected on that).

[mellow lodge]

that's my use case, askvin. let me test that. they are breeding at main basae, i'll go to a safe fortress and afk for a while after picking up eggs

speaking of the fortress base, it sounds like i have 40 eggs that have hatched. hahah

there's a lot of growling

[loud linden]

To be honest, I'm not sure whether the proximity point is conception or birth, and I'm not going to look it up.

[mellow lodge]

your answer sounded right

good enough for me

it's too bad that baby askvin sound the same as grown up askvin

should have some cute little growls

[loud linden]

Askvin were the inspiration for the Boss Baby movies.

[mellow lodge]

hah

[loud linden]

And, the Askvin were inspired by the movie 'Look Who's Talking'.

[mellow lodge]

i thought it was Three Men and a Baby

[lilac coyote]

What about the Asksvin?

[mellow lodge]

they are a myth, don't exist. like platypus

[loud linden]

Poop... I spelled it wrong. If only there were a massive pedant to correct me...

[loud linden]

Fair, though. Thanks for the correction 😉

[lilac coyote]

You're welcome.

[loud linden]

look at the british guy not being able to type propa english

[loud linden]

Sorry, I found that that unreasonably funny.

[mellow lodge]

Weir welcome.

[lilac coyote]

I wasn't incorrect though, what are you on about?

[mellow lodge]

Derek, your humor needs an upgrade. he's joking

he's correcting you incorrectly. because it's funny

[lilac coyote]

He needs to start making funny jokes we've been through this.

[mellow lodge]

it's in line with your correction. it's part of the gag

[lilac coyote]

Eh, whatever.

[loud linden]

I won't be changing my sense of humour. Anyone who doesn't get it is just going to have to miss out.

[mellow lodge]

I fully support your selfishness.

[sonic tiger]

Do frost meads help against Moder if i have full silver armor? Or are they null and void at that point?

[lilac coyote]

They both provide Frost resistance and resistances don't stack.

[loud linden]

Frost mead provides resistance vs. frost. It will help in mountains (i.e. negate 'you are freezing') and any frost attacks.

[loud linden]

Correct. But, for anyone managing resistances, the outcome of multiple influences is not particularly intuitive.
I recommend that anyone wanting to understand resistances consult the Valheim Wiki.

[manic gyro]

Does anyone know how lava lanterns compare to other light sources in terms of how much light they provide? Are they better than dvergr lanterns?

[mellow lodge]

i think resistances are pretty straight forward: positive overrides negative. And highest value overrides lower value.

[mystic atlas]

I don't know what is going on but it feels like a regression bug: suddenly last night when I played, the building snap function wasn't properly working for me anymore. It was snapping, but it snapped way out of line. It would snap a couple millimeters higher or to the side, even when I tried different snap points, it just wouldn't snap neatly. At one point it also showed a crossed out magnet next to required materials...? But with or without that magnet, it was still behaving weird. Anybody any idea whether I had a setting wrong, or maybe it is a bug?

[sharp verge]

Did u accidentally turn on alternate placement mode

[mystic atlas]

could be? What does that do, and how do I turn it on or off? It was just weird it snapped just a couple milimeters off, that doesn't seem very useful a setting?

[loud linden]

Anecdotally, they seem to be. Though, I feel like the light sources that require fuel have a broader range of illumination, generally.

[loud linden]

With that said, I'd argue there's no better light source in the game than a Dverger Circlet on an item stand.

[sharp verge]

It’s a setting idk when ur holding a building tool it should say the controls in the bottom right if not check settings but I remember experiencing the same issue and I realized I had acccidentally turned it on

[mystic atlas]

ok, I'll check that tonight, thanks!!

[manic gyro]

Thanks, Im going to try that

[frail cave]

can someone tell me a good tactic for bonemass

[loud linden]

I use circlets to light all of my storage racks (floor item stands + circlet).

[mystic atlas]

build a deck high up in the trees and stand on it with a bow and arrows (fire or ice arrows is best). He will move below you and stay there until you shot him dead

[true steeple]

Beat him with a mace until he stops moving

He’s resistant to slash and pierce so anything else would take a long time

[frail cave]

i am palyin on a server btw ... with my only melee friends and me... the builder

[loud linden]

Poison resistance, blunt weapons, manage the adds before the boss.

(Or, at least, have one player focused on the adds).

[frail cave]

my highest weapon skill is axes with 12... i know i hate fighting

[true steeple]

You can take out the enemies he spawns and other approaching enemies while your friends focus on the boss
Have you killed serpents yet? Serpent meat and stew are both very good health food.

[frail cave]

well that could work

[loud linden]

At Bonemass?! Yeh, kiting and evasion is not sustainable in Valheim. You need to level a weapon skill

[frail cave]

i am so sorry

[true steeple]

Don’t ever try to focus on levelling skills, the best way to do it is by having them level up passively while you’re playing normally.

[loud linden]

No need to be sorry, I didn't build the game. But Valheim is not designed for passivists.

[frail cave]

my normal playstyle is build a base for my friends and farm the hell out of it

[sharp verge]

That’s valid but when u get raided and they’re not there it can get bad

[frail cave]

my highest skill is "search your grave after falling from the roof" with 999

[loud linden]

Then, I might suggest you present the offer, "You guys go kill Bonemass and I'll farm turnips and prepare us for the mountains biome".

[frail cave]

actually a good idea

[mystic atlas]

then definitely: build a deck high up from where you can shoot bonemass without danger until he's dead. This is how I killed him

he literally sits below you and takes it like a champ

[frail cave]

glorious moose had the perfect suggestion i might follow that

[true steeple]

How long did it take? Blunt does 6x more damage than pierce against bonemass.

[frail cave]

my job is called farmer and if there was a skill for it that might be like 98

well and i have woodcutting on 78

[loud linden]

I feel you. It's a shame that the game doesn't skill up farming, wood-chopping, mining, etc.

[true steeple]

We have a pickaxe skill

[frail cave]

i have like 20 iron chests full of farmables

[sharp verge]

lol I’m currently in the mistlands and had to lookup why I couldn’t make chicken dishes and other stuff and then I learned they exist

[true steeple]

And any kind of farming or building skill wouldn’t be a good idea as it would discourage multiple players from doing these together, instead leaving it to the player with highest skill

[loud linden]

Yeh, I get that there are inclusive skill-ups. I'd just like to see it be more specific and transparent.

[mystic atlas]

It takes a bit (not hours or anything though, just a couple min), but I did make fire arrows, that goes faster than normal arrows with him.

[true steeple]

He’s equally resistant to pierce and fire

[loud linden]

Did you have only the highest skilled warrior (i.e. weapon skill) defeat the last boss you downed co-operatively?

[frail cave]

https://tenor.com/view/iamzoie-faint-lol-lmao-tookmeout-gif-10449204050542459506

[mystic atlas]

odd, I just know it went faster that way (higher hit points, like, a lot higher)

[true steeple]

What other arrows were you using to compare it to?

[frail cave]

why are their eyes glowing???

[mystic atlas]

Flint. But you know what, I am starting to doubt, you might be right it might have been frost arrows...

sorry to confuse

[true steeple]

Why wouldn’t they be?

It’s not as bright, but the eyes in-game look similar

[frail cave]

why would they i mean they arent gods or something

[lilac coyote]

No, but we've been brought back from the dead BY a God.

[frail cave]

that is in fact new to me i turned off hugin

[true steeple]

Why no Hugin?

[frail cave]

he is annoying

[lilac coyote]

He basically tells you how to play the game, as does his brother.

[loud linden]

They're part of the leftist antifa agenda to extinguish the fossil fuel industry and turn our energy reliance to sustainable resources!

[frail cave]

what?

is?

that?

[true steeple]

It’s exactly what it sounds like, all the information is right there

[frail cave]

and i in fact understand nothing

[loud linden]

Yeh, it's pretty clear. The only confusing factor might be 'antifa', which is easily Google-able.

[sharp verge]

You’re joking right

[frail cave]

i just realized your pfp is not a moose it is an elk

[loud linden]

Oh no! I'm not sure of that, but since I have access to the internet and essentially the world's breadth of knowledge, I'm going to look that up and take steps to correct any error. Thank you for the consciousness raiser.

[frail cave]

now i hope i wasnt wrong

[loud linden]

It doesn't matter if you were or not. We both need to get more info on responses we've received.

[frail cave]

and now im a noob

[shy shard]

are tamed asksvin agressive to monsters by default

[frosty frost]

I believe so, yes, maybe with exeption to other asksvins

[true steeple]

Yes, all tames are aggressive to anything that isn't tamed or the same species.

Except hens. The wiki says they have an attack but I've never been able to make them use it.

[subtle parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/chicken-attack-ninja-gif-7874681

[frail cave]

i think this character might be bugged... any suggestions to fix it?

[frosty frost]

dissable all mods and try again

[frail cave]

i dont have mods

[frosty frost]

i can see quite clearly the slots on bottom, those are 100% not vanilla

[frail cave]

that is the only mod and it did not bug the game before

[frail cave]

i admit it is a mod but i am so used to it i did not count it as one

[lilac coyote]

It counts when it comes to bugs.

[frail cave]

Ill try disabeling it

[frosty frost]

each and every mod can, and nearly certainly will, break the game at some point 🙂 now matter how minute its influence may be

[frail cave]

yeh ur right i disabled it and it is like it was... thx tho

[frosty frost]

can you just try to restart the world? it should get rid of any and all statuses you have normaly

[manic gyro]

These are by far the best ambient lighting options I've tested. I've hung mine from the ceiling, a little over 8m from the ground. By night they provide enough light to read signs, etc. without problem and by day they are barely noticeable.

[mellow lodge]

i should try that. all this gold and nothing to do with it

the dverger lanterns are nice too.

[orchid iron]

Do two starts wolf despawn an day even if you have them in your base (in the medows) and they haven't started taming yet ?

[true steeple]

If they haven't started taming, they will try to despawn. If you stay close, it won't happen.

[orchid iron]

That's what I did, am staying close to him, but he's not eating, should I stay close to him till night then he would eat ?

[true steeple]

He's trying to despawn so he can't eat. Wait for night

[orchid iron]

Ok, that's what I'll do then

thank you

[orchid iron]

Ok, night came and he ate, I can see the yellow hearts, that means he won't despawn anymore right ?

[stoic trench]

Correct

[sudden galleon]

hmm i always tough that you're is a shortcut for "you are" and your is used like your table , your chair ... im i wrong ?

[buoyant peak]

No

[sudden galleon]

oh ok 😁

[still lotus]

is the game optimized now? remember playing it years ago and it was laggy and shit, my pc can run doom eternal with 50 fps (decent graphics) but had troubles with valheim

[stoic trench]

Yeah, it’s pretty optimized 🙂

[true steeple]

Large buildings still aren’t great for performance but they were significantly improved with the hildir’s request update last year.

[sudden galleon]

only 1 way to find out, what you call laggy might not be laggy for me 🙂

[still lotus]

20 fps?

on low graphics

and low res😭 that was in 2021 tho

[sudden galleon]

yea maybe you run at 20 fps but it might not run at 20 fps for me

[still lotus]

no shit

[subtle parrot]

5fps or gtfo

[true steeple]

If your base isn’t laggy, it’s not finished

[slow orchid]

my mousewheel's broken is there a way i can rebind building rotation

[halcyon arrow]

Hello guys, I have a question, my friend has got a seed online that was said to be a good one, although we are wondering if this seed has Ashlands included, is there a way to find out whether Ashlands is in this seed or not?

[lilac coyote]

All seeds have all biomes.

[halcyon arrow]

even the old ones?

[lilac coyote]

'old ones'. It's just a number. The only issue would be the age of the map.

[buoyant peak]

Not just wrong channel this is wrong server overall

[lilac coyote]

Already reported.

[buoyant peak]

Good because modmail lags my phone heavily so I'm hesitant to having to use it

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, I have the same problem, thankfully on desktop for now.

[frail cave]

sorryyy, i just woke up from a nap~

[lilac coyote]

No need to apologise, appreciate you.

I'm having an issue in Valheim - please halp ^
it's like my mouse is freakin' out

[tribal mauve]

Please halp 🙏🏾

[hollow mantle]

Do you have any mods installed?

[tribal mauve]

I'm such a noob with this stuff - but is Valheim Plus a mod?

another gaming friend helped me install it

[hollow mantle]

I believe so.

Try asking in #mods-issues if it’s a known issue with that mod.

[tribal mauve]

appreciate you! thank you!

[static harbor]

can you break a cart to get the materials back?

[frail cave]

yes, just not with a hammer, any movable objects can only be deconstructed by breaking them with damage, but they'll still drop 100% of their construction materials this way, and their cargo drops in boxes.

[static harbor]

thank you

[turbid helm]

is there a way to prevent mistlands mobs from spawning in the meadows without sleeping?

[molten mountain]

crafting tables will prevent all spawns within their radius (certain other objects do so as well, but with crafting tables you can clearly see the radius)

other than that, i'm not sure

[turbid helm]

rip

[wanton veldt]

is there any direct counter to seekers, soldiers have the butt but i cant tell if there's a legit weakness to the seekrs

[true steeple]

Seekers are resistant to physical but not elemental damage, so magic and elemental weapons will do more damage, but their health is so low that physical weapons are good enough.

[frosty frost]

Nope, only enemies with weakpoints are troll, gjall and the seeker soldier afaik

[frail rover]

hey i have this issue when im at work and the internet isnt the best i always get kicked out of my dedicated server . other games work i can download and all but just in valheim dedicated server doesnt let me play with this connection any suggestions is it fixable ? or its just flat answer bad internet play when i be home . :/

[true steeple]

#valheim-help message

[frail rover]

thx i try

[civic pumice]

Charred Warrior spawn like patrols in Meadows near my mainbase (only Bonemass was defeated and Mountains and Mistlands start explore) How to fix that?

[true steeple]

Has Fader been killed in that world?

[civic pumice]

Nah

[true steeple]

That's the only thing that could cause it. There's probably a command you can use to fix it, I'll try to find it...

[junior sigil]

Unless the event spawned a monument of torment nearby.

[true steeple]

That wouldn't happen unless the queen has been killed

[civic pumice]

i already try zones_reset biomes=Ashlands force

[junior sigil]

Ah, missed that in the original post.

[true steeple]

removekey defeated_fader should work

[civic pumice]

nah it doesnt work all modes are off

[true steeple]

try find spawner_charredstone 10 and check if any pings are near your base

If fader hasn't died and there isn't somehow a spawner near your base, I have no idea how this could be happening

[civic pumice]

i use some mods for a building.

[true steeple]

mods?

That could be the issue? Mods often break valheim in ways unrelated to their content. Was the charred warrior above there before you disabled the mods?

[civic pumice]

i think yes bec server made before ahslands update i use - Better creative; Jotunn; Plant everything; Gizmo Reloaded

[icy storm]

my friends wanna join us but they bought in microsoft store how they can join us

[snow badger]

when u start your server click crossplay

next to password when u start the world

[true steeple]

If a steam player is hosting, they need to check the cross-platform button. This is forced on for xbox. Then, share the join code at the top of the pause menu.

[frail rover]

sadlly didnt work 😦

[true steeple]

I don't know what else could help, sorry. Can you see the log/output of the dedicated server?

[frail rover]

i can see and my wife does play in the serer no problerm

its just for me this happens when i use work network gues its too damn shit 😄

[swift reef]

hello, I just started playing this earlier this week. I was hauling some ore and the server disconnected. I cannot reconnect and may have accidentally deleted my character. I thought I clicked no. When I log in with a new 1, will I maintain my progress and position of my previous character? it is on my friends server.

[true steeple]

You can restore an automatic backup of a deleted character with the manage saves button

[swift reef]

is there an id i can look for to differentiate the 2 characters?

[true steeple]

Do they have the same name? Check which one has the oldest backups

[swift reef]

I did make it the same. i kind of screwed myself on that.

hopefully it saved right before i deleted it. or i lost 7 hours of grinding.

[south goblet]

hey guys i am wanting to fight moder, would the wolf fur armour or fenris armour be better to use?

[true steeple]

Wolf armor would help if you aren’t confident in blocking or dodging her attacks, otherwise use fenris armor if you have it already. I always make wolf armor because fenris armor requires too much luck for me

[south goblet]

I'll stick to wolf armour then since i'm a noob haha, thanks for the info

[spark lake]

Lately, the ocean water in my game has been having this weird visual effect where there's shimmering, white squares on where the waves are. It persists for a couple seconds after pausing the game, but then it stops and only resumes when unpaused. Has anyone else been having this issue or should I be assuming it's a laptop problem and not a game problem?

[spark lake]

Okay, never mind. I switched over to a new world, and then switched back, and the problem's gone.

[sand aurora]

I'm having this same issue and I cant see if the resolution was posted

[spark lake]

The problem came back, and all I did was work on my base

[reef carbon]

G'day,
so devblog from 26th states theres something new in the swamps.. I'm trying to find it on my world that existed already before. Do i need to search swamps that I havent visisted yet, or can it not be there bc we already sailed from deep north to ashlands?

[buoyant peak]

What you need to do is wait for that update to release

[mystic atlas]

The solution posted, toggling “alternative placement” wasn’t what solved it… my guess is the wood and stone don’t really cooperate well. Even when using wood on wood but on a stone foundation. I think it is a bit of a bug… it works a bit better when making sure all the stone is really aligned. Working on an existing stone structure is the worst though

[reef carbon]

awesome thank you!

[sand aurora]

Our base is just all base wood, literally just started the world and we keep getting snapping totally off

[spark lake]

So it is a bug that I'm dealing with?

[sand aurora]

this is considered a snap point but i would just place it and it breaks instantly

[mystic atlas]

Have you tried toggle snapping? I work on a controller on which you need to press the right stick. Look at the right bottom of the UI to see the controls for it for you

[sand aurora]

yes ive tried all the bottom options also

only mod we're playing with is valheim plus and all the building sections are disabled

[mystic atlas]

If the build item you just placed breaks immediately after placement, it means it’s not supported enough. See how that other build item you want to attach it to is yellow? If it’s orange it means it’s barely supported and attaching another to it won’t work, it needs a support pole or something

[sand aurora]

its not attaching to anything at all

like it "snaps" but it doesnt snap to anything xddd

its fkd

[frosty frost]

try to disable any mods you have and try again, most of the time its them who cause bugs

[hollow mantle]

Then it's not supported at all. Hence it breaks.

[sand aurora]

Ye we did this , took off all mods completely and tried, nope

[sand aurora]

But I cant get it to attach to anything that supports it

it was fine for maybe the first hour of the server then just broke

[hollow mantle]

disable Valheim plus entirely.

[mystic atlas]

Maybe it’s because you have two layers of squares close together but on slightly different levels. It gets confused not knowing to snap to the lower one or the top one

[mystic atlas]

Also, not sure if this would do it but maybe: you use indoor build items as roof. When it rains it will get damaged, maybe your roof is damaged too much and hard to attach other items to it?

[reef carbon]

wait the devblog about the swamp hut is from august..? how do i find out when it will be in game?

[molten mountain]

damage does not affect how much build items can be supported

[frosty frost]

it says it in the blog, it will be out this fall, thats all the info we have

[ivory flax]

I have tamed today my first wolf😁 I am a new player

[frosty frost]

Nice 😄

[small nest]

also, when it will be released, you'll have to look for it in not visited biomes (around 400m from known lands are marked as unvisited)

this is usual with most if not all new structures/biomes

[civic pumice]

Аfter reinstal game and no mods launch i dont see charred warriors on map. I think yr help was greatfull bec without console command (remevekey) reinstal didnt help me with it. Thank you!⭐

[sharp verge]

Altwrbate placement mode?

[mystic kernel]

can someone tell me why haldor doesnt has Ymir flesh? Im post Mistlands, or do I have to come another day?

[frosty frost]

it should be unlocked after killing elder 🤔

[mystic kernel]

it was

now its not

[frosty frost]

hmm, do you play on server with player based progression?

[pseudo flax]

If I want to transfer my save from gamepass to steam where is the save file on gamepass and where should I put it on steam file ?

[mystic kernel]

thats the only requirement? I havent played in a while so IDK or is its shop rotative? meanign I have to wait for his inv to change?

[frosty frost]

i think it could affect it but i am not really sure, go and try to pick elders trophy, swamp key and his power, maybe it will help

[mystic kernel]

now that I notice he doesnt even have the thunderstone

[frosty frost]

it has also elder as the requirement

[mystic kernel]

hmm I will go and kill another one then

[true steeple]

Did you kill the elder in the same world?

[mystic kernel]

yes I just kill it again and now I have the other missing stuff on the trader

[static harbor]

johnny silver hand pfp spotted

[south goblet]

is blast furnace just a better smelter or are they different?

[mellow lodge]

You use smelter for some ore, blast furnace for others.

[south goblet]

okay, thanks 🙂

[frosty frost]

works same as smelter but for higher tier ores 🙂

[lyric ermine]

Hi 👋. I fell through one of the charred fortress towers and now can’t get out. Any recommendations? lol thank you

[sudden galleon]

might gona have to use devcomand to get you out of there but im not familiar with the devcomand

[lyric ermine]

Thanks dude, figured it out though

[spark pelican]

Hello, can I mod my vanilla server or do I need to host on e 3rd party hosting service in order to have mods?

[tropic granite]

If you start server with mods, your friends should have the same server-side mods(epic Loot, CLLC and other that change game's mechanics), client-side mods(grid for plants, HUD-changing, etc) can be used by clients as well as by the host, there will be a failure message if your friend don't have required mods

[spark pelican]

Do I need a dedicated server for that or just the default server I hosted?

[tropic granite]

No difference, you can start both

[spark pelican]

Thank you, good sir

[marble maple]

WTA : Can dedicated server can change the seed

[frail rover]

so to those who tried help me yesterday with mtu settings and all . aperantly now i tested that my friends does not see my hosting co op world either , i get kicked out of dedicated imidiatly after i enter what is going on , all other games work it just valheim , would clean reinstall work ? or this is deeper problem ?

[molten mountain]

for a bit more context: what is the reasoning behind this question? What do you want to achieve? 👀

[stiff frigate]

Guys i accidently spawned eikthyr and ive already died once but the boss is still there when will he go away?

[sudden galleon]

nope it wont

[stiff frigate]

damn

i built my base right beside em

does he regenerate health

[sudden galleon]

hmmm cant remember but i think yes

[stiff frigate]

Alright thanks

[sudden galleon]

do you know how to put your game coop ?

[stiff frigate]

yea im pretty sure i know

[sudden galleon]

if you give me a few min i can go to you world and kill it

so do you want to ?

[stiff frigate]

Im looking right now to see if i have a backup

i dont think you have to kill i just found a old back up beofre the boss but thanks!

[sudden galleon]

well ill be here if you change your mind 😁

[stiff frigate]

Alright thank you 😀

[languid ridge]

Hi, anyone got any suggestions on how to train my crossbows skill the fastest?(Mistlands biome)

[true steeple]

Use it as your main weapon wherever possible, even at close range. You could find a gjall and kill its ticks over and over

It's best not to try grinding skills unless you really need to, let them level up as you progress

[frosty frost]

if you really want you can go and summon bonemass again, with bone bolts (i think those have the lowest dmg) you should be able to raise the skill pretty well, but as said above its totally ok to just have it level up on its own by just using the crossbow 🙂

[languid ridge]

Oh thanks, will try
actually thought hard about what might be pierce resistant and bonemass seems to be the closest...just need a pretty lil temporary treehouse

[languid ridge]

Decent opinion, but I am afraid to tell ya that getting crossbow skill level up is the most obnoxiously slow out of all of them.

And I don't want another range weapon like magic or bows cause using them for every run gets boring.

[eternal geyser]

Do any one knows how to get feadher cape ?

[buoyant peak]

If bow skill is slow, crossbows are much better than them even at lowest levels

[molten mountain]

is the stagbreaker recommended for dealing with slime type enemies?

[true steeple]

Blobs are weak to blunt but their health is so low that all damage types work well enough. It will help for oozers, and you shouldn't be fighting any other slime enemies as they're from later biomes.

[cold kindle]

why wont my asksvin eggs hatch

[frosty frost]

are they warm?

[cold kindle]

yes

tried 5 times none are working i tried with roof with space without roof

[frosty frost]

how long did you leave them to hatch?

[cold kindle]

30 minutes

[frosty frost]

hmm, then i am really not sure why they wouldnt hatch

[hollow oxide]

You can also turn on Friendly Fire to kill your animals with your crossbow. If Friendly Fire is not on you can't Target tamed animals

[narrow plume]

is it possible to turn off this white fog?

[frosty frost]

i dont think so

[narrow plume]

is it possible to spawn working hildir/haldor?

[frosty frost]

yes it is

[frail cave]

you can make it less opaque by turning on the "soft particles" setting in the graphics options. that setting makes it so particles gradually fade to 0% opacity wherever they meet an object

[wispy dome]

it should disappear from the area once it becomes an area closed off by walls and a roof and has a fire on

[ember garden]

my friend can't reach me he appears in an area in the grass not loaded then is disconnected

[fluid flume]

hello. i just confused about copper ore. i've been looking for it for about 1.5-2 hours. we went around 2 black forests and did not find a single ore

[frosty frost]

the look just like big rocks with reflective lines running through them 😄

[paper night]

What is your go-to first staff to make ?

[fluid flume]

yes, i know 🥹

[frosty frost]

i would say ember and protection

[paper night]

Ember was my thought too

[frosty frost]

sometimes they can be quite tricky to spot 🙂 i often go quite late in game through BF near my base and still find new ones 😄

[frosty frost]

those should be the first two 🙂 i would say it doesent matter much which one is the very first

[fluid flume]

but they should be signed like tin ore, right?

cause there is nothing haha

i went to every rock..

[frosty frost]

yep, if you look at them you will see text "copper deposit"

[fluid flume]

but i did not

[frosty frost]

hmm, is it a big black forest?

[fluid flume]

sure

[frosty frost]

whats the seed?

[fluid flume]

YZ8F20Pqmy

[frosty frost]

can you share a screenshot of which black forest are you exploring? I will go and try to look for some

[frosty frost]

oh you didnt explore much yet 😄

[fluid flume]

yeah)

[frosty frost]

huh, weird, seem like i got a bit different generation from you, when did you make this world?

[fluid flume]

like 3 days ago

or two

[frosty frost]

oh, i am just dumb XD i forgot to actually enter the seed when creating world

there are 3 close to each other not too far from where you explored (the right BF uder your location and bed) 🙂 you just have to go a bit further
(idk if you want me to show the exact location or if you want to search yourself so i censored the pic 🙂 )

[shy shard]

is the Embla set really weak or what ?

[frosty frost]

against physical dmg? yes it is compared to other sets in ashlands

[shy shard]

I mean compared to eitr-weave, it's fairly costly to make and at full upgrades you only get +1 armor per piece and go from +100% eitr regen to +130% ... and that's it

[true steeple]

The armor stat does nothing with a staff of protection

[frosty frost]

actually current best craftable version of both sets are indeed 1 armor point per piece apart but eitr weawe has the upper hand 😉 as for the regen... i dont really know as i dont play as a mage much

[shy shard]

It's useful to prevent getting oneshot while casting the shield again, or while waiting for eitr to come back

[frosty frost]

oh wait, my bad, i thought embla was max 2, not three

[fluid flume]

thank a lot. have a good evening 🙂

[frosty frost]

you too 😄

[buoyant peak]

30% extra is a lot in comparison.

On top of having slightly more armor

[mellow lodge]

It’s an easy armor upgrade if you’re a mage build. It was the first thing I could make when I got to ashlands.

[silent jackal]

OK BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS AND WHY IS IT AT MY HOUSE LOL

off to the right

[frosty frost]

Oh 😄 you mean our dear one eyed wanderer, thats your boss checking up on you

[kind shore]

Is it worth to craft Iron Sledge if I have iron sword level 3? Will Iron Sledge be way better on level 3 than sword?

[silent jackal]

nani

[frosty frost]

i dont know about better or worse, its different type of weapon, you use it with two hands, its slower but does more dmg in AoE

[frosty frost]

Who did send you to Valheim? 😉

[kind shore]

Sword is actually one handed, what about sledge?

[frosty frost]

i was talking about the sledge...

[silent jackal]

huh

[shy shard]

Compared to the benefits you get with the ashland armor sets it really looks underwhelming asf

[frosty frost]

You may know him as Allfather, One Eyed, Wotan, Hooded one... or also Odin 😄

[orchid iron]

What plains weapon should I switch to ? I have been using Frostner and now I think I have enough black metal to upgrade to a better weapon

[frosty frost]

frostner is ok to use through the plains 🙂 but i usually go with BM sword

[orchid iron]

And you keep using BM sword in mistlands ?

[true steeple]

You could make the porcupine, the plains-tier mace.

Keep the frostner for yagluth, he is neutral to spirit damage so silver is better than black metal

[frosty frost]

i do, but i switch to mistwalker there, but even there frostner is quite good, quite surpisingly considering its from 2 biomes before them 😄

[orchid iron]

That's an option as well, am looking for a weapon that would be good starting mistlands as well

[true steeple]

Frostner's frost damage allows it to do more a little more damage per hit than the porcupine against common mistlands enemies which are resistant to physical damage. However, the porcupine has much higher stagger (almost 3 times as much) so depending on your playstyle that could be preferable.

Porcupine secondary can easily stagger a fuling berserker much faster than parrying can

[orchid iron]

How does the porcupine compare to the BM sword ?

[true steeple]

The black metal sword would do more damage to yagluth because he's pierce resistant, but the frostner would be better so you should use that to kill him anyway. In mistlands their damage types don't really matter so they compare the same with every other sword and mace of the same tier. Mace secondary has a lot more stagger than sword secondary, and the knockback can manage crowds that would quickly overwhelm you with a sword, but the sword's secondary has a bit more damage so it's good for dealing maximum damage after parrying.

I prefer the mace but others may prefer the sword. They're both good for different playstyles.

[orchid iron]

Thank you for the detailed response

[frosty frost]

iirc then best weapons for Yag should be, in order, silver sword, frostner and BM sword

[true steeple]

I think the crystal battleaxe might be better than the black metal sword, but I haven't tested. I'll check that now...

[orchid iron]

I used frostner to kill Moder, it was a bit of a pain, super slow, I think he had resitance for blunt or something

[frosty frost]

Oh yeah, i totaly forgot about that

[frosty frost]

UFFF, you would literally be better off with bronze mace for her XD

[buoyant peak]

Just much better armor

[true steeple]

The crystal battleaxe would be worse than the bm sword, but not by much. It's probably a very close fourth.

[frosty frost]

Great to know 😄

i just never really used it so i totally forgot it existed xD

[true steeple]

The frost dragon is immune to frost damage

[buoyant peak]

And she's neutral to blunt, but frostner's blunt damage is trash.

Literally used one of the worst weapons you could've used against her

[true steeple]

At least it worked, it can't have been easy

[silent jackal]

why did i send him to valheim and why does he look like the fucking grim reaper

[true steeple]

He sent you

[silent jackal]

oh i read that backwards lol

[frosty frost]

happens 😄

[silent jackal]

but also u said it backwards so we're both at fault

[lilac coyote]

No he didn't.

[silent jackal]

who did send you instead of who did you send

[lilac coyote]

The first is correct.

[frosty frost]

i think i said it correctly, if i said, who did you send means you send someone, who did send you means you were sent by someone

[true steeple]

Who sent you would've been a little clearer but who did send is ok too

[frosty frost]

yeah 😄 i could´ve formulate it better

[silent jackal]

i meant to say who sent you not who did you send. mb. brain frazzled rn. didnt say it backwards, just used the wrong word lol

[lilac coyote]

No, again, there were no wrong words. But let's not labour the point.

[frosty frost]

Technically it was correct 😄 but it could have been written clearer, i agree to that

[silent jackal]

but ye we're all in agreement lol. also why tf does he look like the grim reaper lmao

[frosty frost]

so he scares you the first time you see him 😄

[lilac coyote]

Pretty sure it's the other way around.

[silent jackal]

the grim reaper looks like him? like in reference to him being older so the grim reaper resembles him rather than the other way around? but i mean either way they both look like each other i guess

now who's arguing over semantics 😂

[lilac coyote]

You?

i wish you could fit workstation improvements closer together

[sweet crescent]

Dose the item multiper setting improve how much stuff you get from fish drops?
(EX do you get more iron from catching a swamp fish if it drops iron?)

[shy shard]

wait is it entirely useless to upgrade the trollstav ?

[mellow lodge]

Mostly.

[civic pumice]

Hello, anybody knows how to make seed with big Ocean and Small Continents like on this screen

[frail cave]

not possible without mods

[civic pumice]

yeah sure but like what i use Gozzy method from Reddit but it dosnt work

[frail cave]

#mods-discussion might know

[next canyon]

Is there a non-cheese way to get a Dvergr extractor without angering the dwarves?

Like are my options cheese with a cart, or get them killed (By myself or otherwise) ?

They're my buddies and I don't want em to be mad at me XD

[frosty frost]

no non cheese way, no

[true steeple]

They can’t be mad once they’re dead

[silent jackal]

was making my way to bonemass, had to cross the plains in order to get there tho and it was night time so i was hugging the shore with my boat so i didnt get fucked by a sea serpent, proceeded to get one shot by a deathsquito. half the map away from the nearest portal

[lapis terrace]

well.... afk near a camp. and wait for something to kill them

[stoic trench]

Ahh bummer! Best of luck getting back to your spot 🫡

[silent jackal]

is it theoretically possible to make land bridges with the hoe between continents?

[frosty frost]

If the ocean Is shallow enough, sure

[silent jackal]

rip

[winter grotto]

What armor do you need to be able to take on wolves..

I upgraded a full bronze set to lvl 2 and eat 3 meats. Still a 2 tap

[silent jackal]

even with iron armor you still kinda get one shot unless you block. when i tamed/killed some wolves i just used some iron armor and an iron buckler with an iron sword and it went fine, just make sure u have enough stam to parry them and enough hp to not get staggered or else ur cooked

[coral ridge]

I would say iron

[silent jackal]

also just taking a bow and some arrows and making a small platform to jump up onto, u can just shoot them from up there without them attacking you.

[winter grotto]

Roger that. Thanks guys. Now on to finding iron...

[silent jackal]

gotta kill the elder and get the samp key. also make sure u have some decent food with u in the swamp cause if u dont ur gonna get unalived real quick

[true steeple]

Mountains are the 4th biome, you should have equipment from the swamps and kill Bonemass first

[silent jackal]

you could also just do what i did tho and make some frost meads, if u use eikthyr buff and have decent stam food u can lure wolves pretty easily into some traps. mountain biome really isnt that hard if youre prepared for it. ive tamed a few wolves and killed several more and got a wolf trophy already, i havent even gotten to bonemass yet

and u can use stagbreaker to find silver underground, although i would assume it would be faster to use the wishbones

[true steeple]

I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who hasn’t beaten the game already, it’s best to progress normally the first time.

I don’t see any reason to skip swamp anyway, unless you’re trying to beat the game as fast as possible

[silent jackal]

i mean i havent beaten it either, the farthest i have ever gotten was the plains and i didnt even do much leading up to that. i was with a group, we did eikthyr and i logged off and when i logged on next day we did bonemass and i logged off again and when i logged on the next day we did the plains boss

its not for the sake of skipping biomes to finish the game faster as much as it is just coming across a mountain biome right next to the meadows and not wanting to go through all the other shit before being able to do whats right in front of you.. the most dangerous thing in the mountain biome are the wolves and the occasional 2* skeletons but if u have a shield the skeletons dont do shit, all u gotta worry about are the wolves and u can out run them. id do everything else first before trying to beat the mountain boss, but to just explore it and farm silver and tame wolves and stuff i dont see an issue skipping bonemass

like frost meads are crafted from stuff u get from meadows and forest, kinda seems like it was intended for you to be able to explore mountains before doing bonemass

[buoyant peak]

But if the water is shallow between two islands, they're both technically the same continent still

[silent jackal]

tru

[stoic trench]

Don’t you need leech blood for frost resistant mead?

[warm condor]

is there a way i can change my vaheim characters name or do i have to make an entire new one?

[stoic trench]

If I’m not mistaken, I think you have to make a new character.

[winter grotto]

My man 💪

[warm condor]

alrighty, thanks

[silent jackal]

oh u right i forgot about the leech blood, but still u dont have to do bonemass to get leech blood.

[stoic trench]

True! But I think that makes it fair to assume that it’s indeed not intended to do the mountain before swamp boss 😁

[molten mountain]

workbench agro is based on line of sight, right? If it's inside a building with no windows it should be safe?

[fierce grove]

anyone know how to fix my building pieces not wanting to place straight ? i cant add onto my house because the pieces wont adjust or snap into place

[timid umbra]

hello! do you guys know how can I access a combat log? I was afk and my character died inside my base and I wanted to know how that happened. Thanks!

[lilac coyote]

Could be a raid, is your base spawn protected?

[timid umbra]

I have a modifier to not have a raid. I found a seeker meat and my wolves meat too so I think I had one visitor here...

I noticed that even disabling the raids I get night visits of goblins and now seekers too

Even if the base is located in the meadows

[lilac coyote]

Disabling raids won't stop natural spawns.

[timid umbra]

oohhh.. thank you!

[silent jackal]

idk swamp boss is different than killing a couple measly leeches. id say the mountain biome is actually less dangerous than the black forest once you actually have the frost mead. high stam and youre fine, you dont gotta worry about getting pelted by hordes of skeletons lol. wolves are pretty rare compared to skeletons

[lilac coyote]

But a lot tougher. And wait till you find a Golem.

[silent jackal]

im talking about on average. obviously the strength level of the mobs when you actually find them is higher than those in the forest but you can easily walk around in the mountains for the most part without having to worry about literal swarms of mobs coming at u lol. and if youre proficient at parrying, wolves are easy to dispatch if you have even half decent food. i went in the first time with just cooked fish, queen's jam and cooked venison and was fine

[modest blaze]

does anyone know what these random symbols are that are popping up on everyone's screen??

is this part of the game?

[sudden galleon]

i never saw this in vanila

where did you buy the game ?

[modest blaze]

there is also random flashbangs that go on everyone's screen whenever the next day starts randomly

[modest blaze]

steam, its happening to everyone on the server tho

[sudden galleon]

a text pop saying ( its day ?? ) but nothing like that

[modest blaze]

yeah a random flashbang happens on everyone's screen

[sudden galleon]

the serveur is moded ?

[modest blaze]

only mod is valheim+

[lilac coyote]

Well that would explain that.

[sudden galleon]

i play with it also maybe a feature i dont know about .maybe the folks in #mods-issues or #mods-discussion will know about it

[modest blaze]

could it be a hacker?

[sudden galleon]

well when you play on a server, it always a posibility... but ill ask in the chanel i post before start pointing finger 😅

ill check the config file if i can see related to it

[stoic trench]

Most likely a mod issue

[modest blaze]

yeah it was a hacker

[lapis terrace]

hacker?

[civic monolith]

Was are nice seed or something for tar?

y need 30

[lilac coyote]

Every seed has plenty.

[willow raft]

True but some seeds probably have a few pretty close together while others will make you look for them all over.

[minor fractal]

hi.. have questions about mods.. Is Valheim Plus no longer required?

[frosty frost]

no mods are ever required, but if you want to know something about them #mods-discussion might be a better place 😄

[minor fractal]

thanks

[frail cave]

my friends are speeding through, any tactics for moder?(we beat bonemass like yesterday)

[frosty frost]

dont use frostner

[sharp verge]

Do days go by on dedicated servers when nobody’s on?

[frosty frost]

i think so? not too sure about that tho

[true steeple]

No

[glad crow]

Anyone know how to save xbox cloud character saves to local? It goes off game pass today and me and some pals are migrating to steam - any help appreciated and apologies if this has been asked/answered before!

[true steeple]

Click manage saves on character or world select, find the saves you want to keep and use the move to local button

[glad crow]

Doesn't look like I have that option?

[prisma depot]

Hey guys, new player here and I was about to build a dock when gigantic waves suddenly came and it hit me that it might not be a smart idea to build it by the ocean. I see a river that is kinda close, is the water a lot more calm more inland? Would it be wise to relocate my base there?

left side

[junior sigil]

Inland water stays calm. You can dredge and expand a natural river, or dredge inland from an ocean area. A river or inlet is easiest to start with.

[prisma depot]

Alright then I'll go and relocate, thank you 👍

[sharp verge]

What’s dredging land?

[junior sigil]

Using the pickaxe to lower the ground under the water level.

[sharp verge]

Me and my friend do have like an artificial canal into a lagoon for our ships it’s pretty neat

[sharp verge]

Oh perfect

Does anyone know how much it costs to run one

[junior sigil]

Get's a little tedious to do a bunch of it, but if you can make an area where you can't stand in any spot, the longship bottom won't hit it.

[sharp verge]

Yea it took a while

[subtle parrot]

Depends on the service provider, but probably $10-20/month

[shy shard]

I think I don't understand how the bloodstone variant of weapons work. Is the damage amplification based on my own missing health or the enemy's

[true steeple]

The damage increases as your health decreases

[mellow lodge]

Weapons modified with the a Bloodstone have their damage increased by 0.2% for every HP the player is missing. It is not HP the target is missing.

so to get the most benefit, you basically get the highest HP total as you can, but then reduce to the least current you can

[true furnace]

Is there any way to guide tamed animals inside your base?

[frosty frost]

harpoon or fence coridor

[subtle parrot]

Your own

[kind shore]

Can I do something special here? Do I have to light 2 more standing torches or something?

[true steeple]

No, it's just decoration around the runestone

[kind shore]

Yeah something new actually showed up in left corner, like a new legend or something is that something special or just a story?

[true steeple]

Some runestones are saved to read later, and can be accessed through one of the buttons in the top-right when the inventory is open.

[true furnace]

Thanks, the only problem is that i can’t find leviathans on the ocean, is there any way to find them easy or is it just luck?

[mellow lodge]

just sail around ocean biomes. just luck

[true furnace]

Oh ok

[frosty frost]

or you can use the world generator to look where they are, but that is bit of cheating ofcourse 😄

[lilac coyote]

Or try fishing and get REALLY lucky.

[frosty frost]

wait, does some fish drop chitin?

oooh, coral cod does
