valheim-help

[velvet bramble]

Yeah

Oh no 😦 so no hope really. Damn. Any chance the dedicated server stores my files for a while after deletion?

[fervent ravine]

wait, so which file are you missing? your character or world state?

[velvet bramble]

I’ve got the .db file for my world
I don’t have the .fl file for the same world in the most recent state

[fervent ravine]

who is hosting the server?

[velvet bramble]

The only .fl file I have is from that world but as it was a while ago.

[velvet bramble]

I was, but my dedicated server got deleted and I only managed to copy the .db file onto my pc

[fervent ravine]

you were hosting the server locally?

like from you desktop?

[fervent ravine]

this may be a bit of a nuclear option, but when was the last time you made a PC restore point?

[velvet bramble]

It was from a dedicated server.

So how it works is I upload my files to the dedicated server, and then all save files get updated online, not locally.

I have the .db file from the most recent state pulled from the dedicated server, I just didn’t get the .fl file

[fervent ravine]

so who was the server host? Like g-portal?

[velvet bramble]

Bisecthosting

[fervent ravine]

so the host lost and corrupted the data?

[velvet bramble]

Honestly it was my fault, I thought all I needed was the .db file and totally forgot about the .fl file.

After you don’t pay for a while they delete your online server.

[fervent ravine]

ah.

so when did you last backup you local stuff?

[velvet bramble]

Just before I decided to stop the dedicated server.

But I only thought I needed the .db file which was stupid of me to assume that

[fervent ravine]

no, I mean a full PC restore point?

[velvet bramble]

Ohh. Would that help even if the files were all stored online on the dedicated server?

I think the restore point was ages ago though. Perhaps 2 years ago lol

[fervent ravine]

all depends on what was on you PC at the time. world state is saved to the server. without access to that, you are SOL

[velvet bramble]

Sol? 😮

[fervent ravine]

SOL= sh+t out of luck.
lmk if you want help rebuilding.

[velvet bramble]

Oh mann. Hahaha yeah you’re probably right.

So it wouldn’t help if I have the .fl file for the same world but from before I uploaded to the dedicated server?

[velvet bramble]

Thank you that’s kind of you

[fervent ravine]

well, character is saved local. world state would be whatever whatever is in the file

[silent jackal]

if a lox is aggro towards me and then gets in range of another hostile target like skeletons or growths or whatever will they leave me and go fight the other shit if i make myself scarce?

just realized lox are super good at taking out tar pits lol. there was a tar pit i was struggling with and then 2 lox came out of nowhere and wiped out the tar pit and all the fulings next to it and survived with a little bit of health each so i was able to kill them pretty easy after, i made out like a bandit lol

[spark shell]

it depends on what faction the hostile belongs to, loxes (plains faction) will attack growths and skeletons (undead faction)
you can read more here, https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Factions (spoiler warning)

[silent jackal]

oh ok that makes sense. ty

[spark shell]

aye 👍

[silent jackal]

i think ima have to go clearing out a few more crypts before i continue in the plains, ive been operating out of basic chests so far and its getting to be a bit much lmfao

needa make a storeroom of iron chests

[spark shell]

black metal chests are a better idea imo, black metal is much easier to come by

[silent jackal]

oh ok, do they have the same/better storage space as iron chests?

[spark shell]

32 slots vs 24 (i think?) of iron

[silent jackal]

oh hell ya

just gotta merc a few more fulings then

and not just the men, but the women and the children, too

[spark shell]

I used to go out at night with bonemass to collect black metal, around 30 or so every night

[silent jackal]

i have mob drops at 3x so im collecting quite a bit just from the few ive killed already, but thats a good idea ill swap to bonemass and put on my wolf armor instead of the fenris

[spark shell]

ah, makes sense. I used to play at 1x so xd

[silent jackal]

ye if i was with a group id do 1x but its just too grindy for me on solo

[spark shell]

try to mix both instead imo, mixed armors are the way to go

imo

[spark shell]

makes sense

[silent jackal]

i wish the wolf armor didnt have so much speed nerf to it

[spark shell]

• what i mean is replace the wolf's chest or leg part with fenris = good armor + -2% movement reduction instead of 10%

[silent jackal]

but i mean i guess its fair considering how much armor it gives

ah ya. ill probably use the fenris leggings and then the wolf top

[spark shell]

[silent jackal]

i just love going fast af lmao

[spark shell]

everyone does

[silent jackal]

😂

[barren briar]

Sorry for picture, I'm on steam deck, posting from phone.
When I hoe the ground around my base, I always get this little lip, even if I hoe from on the foundations. It makes me jitter when going inside. Is there a way to get it perfectly level

[silent jackal]

idk about using the hoe to make it exact, but u can clip stairs into the ground for seamless movement

[fervent ravine]

want help?

[silent jackal]

and when youre standing on the foundation, it still counts for the hoe as u standing on the ground that the foundation is on, thats why it doesnt do anything

[silent jackal]

oh @barren briar is the one needing help i was just tryna give a suggestion

[spark shell]

im kinda confused here, like do you mean like you're using hoe but it won't go higher near the edge of the floor?

[fervent ravine]

stairs?

[barren briar]

Yea. I was leveling the ground, but hope it would level with the edge of the floors

[spark shell]

stand somewhere where it's the right level and try levelling, still won't go higher?
try raise ground from the hoe and then level it down as above

[barren briar]

That little lip isn't a PROBLEM just visually obnoxious. And I've tried raising and then lowering. Goes to the same height, even if I hoe from on the floors

[spark shell]

hm

weird kinda, i've haven't played for a while tbf, try the stairs as the other said that should solve it

[barren briar]

Also raising the ground now made a lump in my base that won't go away for some reason. AAAA lol

[spark shell]

do u have pickaxe?

you'll need a pickaxe if u raise it too high

[spark shell]

wait just to confirm, do you mean the red thing or the green thing? if u mean the red thing, you just need to use a pickaxe to dig once or twice on that area and then use the levelling from hoe

[barren briar]

Green. Where the ground is a blip lower than the floor

[fervent ravine]

mind if i try?

[barren briar]

Uuuuuuuh. Sure. Just to see what you do. Not sure how to let you on this world. I didn't set it up as a server

[fervent ravine]

wed have to be friends on steam

[stoic trench]

Have you tried leveling it while standing on the wood floor?

[barren briar]

Yes. This is just a temp base and I don't even have the pickaxe yet. But the stairs clipped in the ground is probably the best option. Thank you all though.

[fervent ravine]

you can always exit your game to main menu and select 'start server' to make it a server.

[barren briar]

It's not the most necessary issue on a temp base, but thought I'd ask ahead of time

[fervent ravine]

youll need to make a PW and then DM your world name and PW. next time you play so long as you dont select 'server, itll revert to a private game

[stoic trench]

Seems like you got it solved, but I’ll mention this. You could probably put a half wall under the floor, so it at least appears to have a foundation.

[silent jackal]

anyone got a good way to stack chests? i had seen a yt video on how to do it but im trying to replicate it and its not working, idk if im just not doing it right or if its been patched, its where u put a floor piece on top of the first chest, put the second chest on top of the floor piece and then break the floor piece. i dont want a lot of the ground covered up with chests and i also dont want it to look ugly af with random floor pieces jutting out in between each chest

[stoic trench]

Usually involves shift placing floor pieces until you line it up right

[silent jackal]

i found a way

now i just need to incorporate that darkwood into my entire storeroom 😂

shouldnt be too hard tbh, just wood and tar

also is there a way to completely disable snapping so that u can put structure pieces partially inside others?

tried toggling the e key but it just cycled through the different snapping options, didnt give an option to turn of snapping altogether

[stoic trench]

I thin holding shift is the only way, not sure if there is a toggle

[fervent ravine]

you build halfwalls, then 1m beam, then make small 'grid' of half walls and floors.

i can jump in an show you. also, if you are ok with mods, Item draws are a must have for me.

[silent jackal]

im ok, i figured out how to make it work

do plants have to be in render distance to grow?

[wispy dome]

No is the answer but kind of yes. They need time, which you don't need to be close to them for it to count, once enough time has passed in the world, a player needs to get close to them for them to render and change from the immature stage into mature stage

[silent jackal]

so i can leave long enough for them to grow and then as soon as i come back theyll instantly mature?

[wispy dome]

yes

[silent jackal]

awesome

[wispy dome]

it's very easy to see it happening with trees sapplings

instant forest jumping out of the ground

[silent jackal]

xd

i hate fog so much

[wispy dome]

the same probably happens with animals on pregnant stage and infant stage

[spark flower]

wait can you breed animals in Valheim?

[thorn spire]

some, yes

[spark flower]

which ones? and is it possible to do early game? sorry for asking so many questions I'm just really new to valheim!

[thorn spire]

yeah, there is a runestone in meadows that'll tell you you can raise boars.

trap a couple in a pen and feed them berries or mushrooms, to start.

[spark flower]

Oh I think I remember reading that actually yeah

[spark flower]

so don't bother trying to sneak up on em, just chase em into a pen?

[thorn spire]

remember though, that you'll need a place nearby to hide, because they won't tame if they're frightened (red exclamation point over them)

[spark flower]

Ah thanks for the heads up! makes a lot of sense

[thorn spire]

you can sneak up on them too, but they'll run away or chase enemies once they're tame.

easier to get them to chase you into a pen and close a gate behind.

they're afraid of fire, so your hiding place can't be too close if you're resting

[spark flower]

and when they're tamed and I assume start breeding, can you kill some extra boar in the pen for leather scraps and meat without messing up the whole taming thing?

[thorn spire]

exactly.

keep at least one breeding pair alive and slaughter the offspring.

when they're tame, you'll either need a butcher knife to slaughter them or turn on friendly fire.

[spark flower]

ah alright, good to know! thanks for all the advice

Gonna be moving my base closer to the ocean, so I'll also build a pen once I'm done with that

[tight leaf]

hey anyone know how i can make a fireplace in the ashlands?

ive tried placing down a hearth but my entire base starts catching fire

[true steeple]

Just don’t put it too close to flammable materials. Build around it with stone, black marble or grausten.

[tight leaf]

gotcha ty

[frail cave]

Yall what am i suppose to do to elder it prevents me from taking my loot

it also bypassed my block too 😭

[true steeple]

You should try to roll through all damage on the way to your grave. Do you have a portal nearby?

For the block he bypassed, did you get between his body and foot when stomping? If you’re aimed towards his foot but away from his body, you won’t block the attack. It’s weird, but that’s just how it works.

[frail cave]

Yea i do i got it back also idk how to fight this guy im retreating for now 😭

[true steeple]

What food and armor did you have?

[frail cave]

well 3 level troll set and queens's jam boar jerky and deer stew

[true steeple]

You could try to step back or roll when he stomps if you can’t block it, the animation is very slow. You could also try 2 health food so you’ll be dealing less damage but are able to take more hits.

[frail cave]

What are the 2 health foods you offering also if i fail again im just gonna make a bronze armor set this guy is so frustrating to fight

[true steeple]

Bronze armor won’t be worth it, 6 defence isn’t much and it’s very expensive. You could make minced meat sauce to swap for the jerky.

[frail cave]

Hm also like is it better to arrow down or js jump him with my atgeir

[true steeple]

Archery is an option but I’d always recommend melee because his ranged attack can be very dangerous and hard to dodge. Also you’ll be doing better damage unless you have incredibly high bow skill.

[frail cave]

So queen's jam is good for stamina because atgeir consumes alot of stamina and idk if i can roll his melee attacks

[true steeple]

Queens jam and carrot soup are both great stamina options

[frail cave]

Which one would you prefer?

[true steeple]

Use whatever you can get most easily. Their stats are so similar I can’t even remember what’s best.

Carrot soup has 5 more stamina

[frail cave]

Hmm okay is there any other tips you can give abt the elder?

[frosty frost]

Or you can use both and deer stew 😄

[frail cave]

guh.

[true steeple]

The pillars at his spawn are indestructible so if he uses his ranged attack you can hide behind those. If your health gets low, you could wait behind these to regenerate health.

[frail cave]

Also any way to find trolls faster since i cant kill them in their caves i want extra armor if i die

[frosty frost]

Just run around black forest mostly

[frail cave]

Sorry forsome reason this boss is making me frustrated more than any other i fought (t h e d e e r)

[true steeple]

In their caves you can roll through their attacks. The atgeir secondary should stagger them because of their pierce resistance and the attack’s 6x stagger.

[true steeple]

That’s understandable. Eikthyr is barely a boss, trolls have more health and damage.

[frail cave]

Like are there any bosses harder than elder bcz its frustrating 😭 and i start to think like this game is meant to play with friends or something

[frosty frost]

Oh not at all 😄 it Is meant to play solo with the option to play with friends, but it Is a brutal survival as said in Its description

[true steeple]

The game is balanced for solo, more players increase the health and damage of nearby enemies.

[frail cave]

Oh i see because like only thing i can't tolerate on games is unfair difficulties

[frosty frost]

But it undoubtedly Is easier with more people 🙂

[true steeple]

There are world modifiers where you can change all kinds of difficulty settings

[frail cave]

I did tweak some of it to my pleasing still hard 😭

I play on hard difficulty*

[frosty frost]

Well... Then the game might get a bit hard believe it or not 😅

[frail cave]

Ehh fair point but like i feel like i chose the top difficulty rather than a bit harder option when elder casually 1 shot me 😭

Like yeah trolls do too but main point of them is range elder's ranged attack does 1 shot 😭

[true steeple]

You should try normal difficulty for your first playthrough so you can learn how all the enemies behave without unblockable attacks and one-shots.

[frail cave]

Oh no i played it before + i don't really wanna tweak the options or start a new world rn due to how much i progressed (i progress really slow)

[true steeple]

Your best choice may be to use a buckler with a health diet which I normally don’t recommend but it might be the only way to successfully block attacks in higher difficulties. I haven’t played in these difficulties though so I can’t be sure. Also, sorry for assuming you’re new to this.

[frail cave]

Well elder js bypassed my buckler?

[true steeple]

What food were you using, and did you parry or block normally?

[frail cave]

Well i tried to parry and i think i managed but i died like 5 times before trying buckler

So not much food

[frail cave]

Guh i've been walking around for 30 mins on black forest no spawn

[topaz quarry]

Is there any other way to get yellow mushrooms other than burial chambers and troll caves?

[true steeple]

Sunken crypts also have them

[topaz quarry]

Where do I find those?

[true steeple]

Swamps

You can't access them before defeating the Elder though

[topaz quarry]

I'm still trying to get ready to fight the elder. Yellow mushrooms are my best stamina foods so I can't really mine without them

[true steeple]

Have you made a cauldron and carrot farm?

Queens jam and carrot soup are better

[topaz quarry]

Nope. I just made my first bronze thing and it was a spear

[true steeple]

Make the axe next so you can chop birch and oak trees, then make the cultivator to start farming

[topaz quarry]

Yeah I didn't see the axe my first time looking through what I could make. I only saw it the second I clicked craft on the spear so I screwed myself over on that

[topaz quarry]

Do shields have any ambient effects other than slowing you down? Like if you're hit with a shield just out does it reduce even the slightest damage?

[frail cave]

@true steeple :3

Never fighting him again.

[true steeple]

Hopefully future bosses aren't as much of a problem

[frail cave]

Where do i go now after swamp or how do i find one?

[true steeple]

Sail around, looking for giant dead trees

Try to stay at the same distance from the centre of the world the elder spawned at, maybe a little further

[frail cave]

Also he got like stuck on a tree so i arrowed him down to 1/3 of his hp (i did damage with atgeir with 1/3 of it)

@true steeple I think eikthyr's power is more beneficial then elders

[true steeple]

I make a portal to spawn so I can use the elder's power when needed

[frail cave]

My first base is close enough to the portal

[frail cave]

@true steeple uhm im currently digging a leviathan is it a bossfight lol its scary

it yells

[true steeple]

It has a chance to sink with each hit, but won't hurt you directly

[frail cave]

Okay it geniuenly scared me that it was a bossfight 😭

[true steeple]

All bosses have boss bars, and minibosses have coloured names

[frail cave]

Well i am drowning rn cuz i failed to jump to my sail

[true steeple]

What you can make is worth the risk though

[frail cave]

ehhh ill js open dev commands cuz i didnt knew 😭

[true steeple]

Were you not able to reach the ladder fast enough?

[frail cave]

yeah

[silent jackal]

am i fucked? or is this just some harmless unnaturally dark fog

[rich roost]

@silent jackalthat is Mystlands if you have Defeted yagluth that is your next target if not stay away

[silent jackal]

got it 😂 i thought it might be but i didnt know for sure

im just tryna find some chitin

[true steeple]

Mark where it is on the map so you can come back later

[frail cave]

how am i suppose to make this move it aint going where i want to 😭

[silent jackal]

thats crazy then, the mistlands is super fucking close to spawn lmao its right on the other side of the elder spawn

[true steeple]

Is it going against the wind? Check the indicator below the map.

If going against wind, either turn to the side until you have wind or use speed 1 which ignores the wind.

[frail cave]

whats speed 1?

[true steeple]

Go back twice so there's one arrow above the wheel instead of 3

You need to be moving to turn, you can't use your sail against the wind.

[frail cave]

going with 1

[silent jackal]

a and d control direction, you can see on either side of the wheel which direction it will be going. if theres no yellow bar on either side of the whell youre going straight. pressing w once will start rowing, twice will put the sail at half mast, and 3 times will put the sail fully down. if youre going agains the wind, put the sail up all the way and just row. if youre going sideways/with the wind, u can put the sail at half mast or full, depending on how aligned you are with the wind

[frail cave]

I appreciate it

[silent jackal]

you can also row backwards by pressing d to full bring up the sail and then press it one more time

no problem

its nothing like a boat in minecraft, its somewhat actually realistic lol

[frail cave]

valheim is js minecraft but realistic and slower 😭

[silent jackal]

😂

its 100% a better game

[frail cave]

it is with friends too

(i dont have friends)

[silent jackal]

also once you get your hands on some iron, make a long boat. more health so it takes more dmg before it breaks, and it has more storage and can weather the storms and waves better than the karve

and its fairly cheap, just cost 10 iron and 40 finewood and somethin else

[frail cave]

Swamp?

[junior sigil]

A little one.

[true steeple]

Yes, but that might be plains in front of it which you definitely want to avoid for now

[frail cave]

So should i go or not?

[junior sigil]

Look for wall-to-wall with trees like that out to the shore.

[true steeple]

Sail around to see if there's a safer biome you can land at

[frail cave]

Alr

[silent jackal]

if you havent done hte swamp u definitely dont wanna do the plains yet, anything there will one shot you and you dont have enough hp from foods at that progression to parry anything cause itll fill your stagger bar. off to the right is definitely some swamp biome, just steer clear of the left side

[frail cave]

alrighty!1

[silent jackal]

also im back to the forest biome but the fog is still here 😭

im peeing a little rn

[subtle parrot]

Fogs gonna fog

[silent jackal]

is it bugged or something, like it even has the lightning effect i saw in it back at the mistlands. im tweakin rn

[cobalt root]

Hello everyone. How can I prevent someone from using the WeMods software while playing on a Nitrado dedicated server? Is there a way to do this? It's OK to use it in single player or for mod creation, but the fact that it's generally possible to cheat so easily in multiplayer annoys me. Is there an anti-cheat that can prevent this?

[stoic trench]

No, not really. Best thing you can do is establish some rules for everyone and play with people you trust 🙂

[humble vapor]

Is anyone here a wizard at using planbuild?

me and a friend trying to place a blueprint but its massively off center when trying to place it and we cant figure out why

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion?

[humble vapor]

thank you

[cobalt root]

It's a shame. I wanted to play with my son. But I noticed that he uses this program. It's no fun like this. I had hoped that I could somehow prevent this with Valheim+, but apparently not. I don't understand why such programs are allowed to work in multiplayer at all. What's the point of having admin rights on the server if everyone can do what they want....

[lilac coyote]

They can't. You can just ban them.

[stoic trench]

It’s not a competitive game and there is no score, so everyone can tailor the experience exactly the way they want. Have you tried having a conversation about your rules of the server? What are they doing that you have an issue with?

[humble vapor]

in a coop game with a friend, can he give me admin commands?

we want to some sandbox stuff and only he can, trying to find out if he can give me the commands too

[warm fossil]

How can I get a pickaxe?

[humble vapor]

Defeat Eikthyr the first boss

[lost sandal]

no, only the owner/host can use them.

[loud linden]

I presume @lost sandal is correct when sharing a game within Valheim (i.e. using the server function available in the game). But, if you have a dedicated server (costs $$) you can specify which users have access to devcommands.

[silent jackal]

kill deer til u get 2 or 3 (cant remember) deer trophies, then find the eikthyr spawn point and sacrifice the trophies at the altar, i suggest using high stam food and a bow and arrows, fire if u have the means to make them. the horns u get from killing eikthyr will let u craft a pickaxe

[frosty frost]

2 🙂

[kind shore]

Should I be worried?

I have seen this creature 3 times

[loud linden]

Just charge him. He'll get scared.

[true steeple]

He's odin, he can't do anything.

[silent jackal]

can't or won't? 😂

[junior sigil]

The boss is just making sure you're not slacking.

[silent jackal]

i feel like "can't" probably isnt the best choice of word

[kind shore]

I would definitely feel unsafe saying can't

[silent jackal]

heh?

[loud linden]

Odin "doesn't" do anything. We don't know whether he can or can't.

[regal folio]

can someone help me retrieve my items in the swamp theres a 2* draugr archer that keeps 1 shotting me camping my items

bruh it destroyed my entire base

[stoic trench]

He’s the captain now

[manic gyro]

Really, how? I thought devcommands always only work for the host (without mods). Im on the admin list of our server and last time I tried, I was unable to use the spawn command

[junior sigil]

There isn't a current way to keep stamina and eitr values permanently visible in the HUD, is there?

[thick nexus]

hi, im playing on a dedicated gportal server, and i cannot for the life of me find yagluth, granted, i havent checked every spawn thats showing via the seed viewer, but i have gone to one location, and his arena wasnt at the spot at all. ive also gone to multtiple boss runestone locations, and they arent there either. no one on my server has found a runestone for yagluth either. i would appreciate some help 🙂

a thing to note, i have the map search radius fairly high so we can reveal more map, but does this mean theres a possibility that the boss spawn locations end up getting set o a specific location that is closest to the spawn?

[subtle parrot]

The seed viewer isn't always accurate from my experience, but also the alters don't pop up on the map like haldor, so using something to have a wider search radius when exploring wouldn't help in that regard, if that's what you meant. I would suggest exploring the areas around where the seed viewer shows or simply just trying one of the different locations, one of them is bound to be accurate to the viewer.

[frail cave]

guys i got my boat stuck help...

nvm i moved it :D

[thick nexus]

Yeah it does seem that way, suppose we’ve been lucky as everything has been correct on the seed viewer until now. I’ve checked another location, no luck.

Is there nothing in particular that determines a boss spawn then?

I always thought that thought multiple spawns, were fixed spawns rather than random if you get what I mean?

Like I’ve found two elder spawn locations as an example?

[quasi vault]

Bosses locations are fixed and there's many of them, only the traders will spawn in just the first spot that you render

[frosty frost]

Idk, so far as long as i have done my job and gave it correct seed and version it was pretty damn acurate 😄

[frail cave]

Guys how do i deal with deathsquitos 😭

[light solar]

hey guys good evening!

i just tamed an boar but it seems they take crops and so that means i have to farm crops what is the best way to get crops for breeding boars and for another usefull things bcs it seems you dont get an new carrot seeds when you plant/harvest it

[quasi vault]

Don't skip the swamp and mountain biomes before entering the plains

[frail cave]

I THOUGHT I ENTERED SWAMP 😭

it attacked me

[thick nexus]

This is why I’m confused then. Two places now where yagluth is supposed to be and isn’t there

[quasi vault]

It is weird, my best guess would be that something went wrong because of mods or things you did to modify the game

[kind shore]

How is that still flying?

[thick nexus]

And going off of my seed viewer, there’s only two more possible locations for yagluth. Every boss runestone location I’ve been too, they aren’t there either.

[thick nexus]

Hmm possibly, but the seed was generated well before the mod was added? I suppose there’s a possibility it could still have messed it up? :/

[lilac coyote]

POI locations change between game versions.

[light solar]

can someone please help me im completely lost at reddit tysm!

[stoic trench]

You can feed boar mushrooms and raspberries as well

[quasi vault]

Once you pick carrots it will unlock the seed carrots recipe which will give you 3 seeds allowing you to triple the harvest with a couple rotations

[thick nexus]

So before coming back onto the game this week, barely any of the map was revealed until we added the mod a couple of days back, so the new areas that we have discovered, they would be the latest version of the patch patch no? Not the older version?

[chilly shadow]

More than likely you have a plains and swamp close together.

[frail cave]

Yeah... i deleted the savefile, when my boyfriend gets the game i'll play it with him (i got lil angy)

[chilly shadow]

Thats fair.

[frail cave]

No just i can't sail all the wayback when i get 1 shotted by something i wasn't prepared for

[chilly shadow]

I meant that you got angry. Lol, deathsquitos are a menace

[subtle parrot]

They're random within a set of parameters, and set when a map is created for the first time. Is this an older world you updated when ashlands came out or a newer world generated more recently? That could be a reason for the discrepancy between the viewer and in game. But as Evo said, all the boss alters are findable at each location. Mods in general can cause unexpected problems, not related to the content of the mod itself. So it could be possible that it affected some locations unintentionally. The only way to know for sure would be for you to copy the seed and run it without the mods and see if the POI that aren't showing up, show up in the unmodded world.

[junior sigil]

Does anyone know how/if trollstav works for leveling blood magic. Wiki only mentions skellet hits and bubble pop. Does trollstav have no leveling effect when the trolls hit things?

[light solar]

yeah but you dont retrieve any seeds from it so you need still search for them

[light solar]

these are slow to get 😦

btw ty for answering

[hollow mantle]

check your cultivator menu

there's an option you've overlooked

[light solar]

OO i see! tysm! i guess you get mutliple from a carrot

[hollow mantle]

yep, 3

[quasi vault]

Apparently my english is bad

[subtle parrot]

I've only use the dead raiser and trollstav as decorations tbh, so I have no idea. But my best guess would be, the skeletons are tame summons while the trolls are not, so maybe that's why they don't raise your skill?

[light solar]

nah its just fine i just thought it wasnt possbile but still tysm

[hollow mantle]

I would recommend, to start with, replanting 2/3 of what you harvest, over time you can drop it to 1/2 and then 1/3. But that will get you a good stock of carrots quickly.

[light solar]

i see tysm

[thick nexus]

Good idea, may try this. But I have just looked at an older version of the seed, which has the same spawns for Bonemass, Eikthyr, Moder and Elder

So, if the spawns of Yagluth are in these older locations, does this mean we won’t have Ashlands and Mistlands bosses on our seed?

[subtle parrot]

No you'll still have them, as long as you never explored them before, the parts you did explore will stay as the old version in looks, but the unexplored areas will generate the new content

[junior sigil]

I don't know for certain that it doesn't. That's part of what I'm asking.

[subtle parrot]

Ah I see, my apologies

[thick nexus]

Okay thank you so much! I’m certain Yagluth will be in the older locations. You are a legend!!

[kind shore]

Any ideas why this thing is still floating?

[subtle parrot]

Try destroying your ladder

[kind shore]

Nothing changed

[light solar]

does automatticly boar farms still work?

[frosty frost]

yep

[silent jackal]

ok idk why but i expected the brenna fight to be so much harder than it was lmao

[light solar]

hey guys are walls worth to get? to protect enemies from in getting in base area bcs sometimes they are quite annoying i had an fence for boarsd and shaman decided to come and kill them?

if yes what building should i use

[stoic trench]

Wooden stake walls are pretty reliable, I use them in my plains base and I’ve never had an intruder.

[light solar]

okay thanks!

[light solar]

and what should i use for as an entrance in the wall?

[silent jackal]

wooden gates work just fine

[gilded ruin]

cant open chest or destroy help

[silent jackal]

i personally use stone and iron gates for everything tho

[raven jasper]

The difficulty spike from Mistlands to Ashlands is absurd

We have carapace armor and mistlands weapons yet we're dying constantly. It's dark, incredibly difficult to get back your loot

it feels like we skipped a biome even when we did not

and also because it's not connected to any other biome you cannot take alternate paths to get to your loot. It's one giant spread out biome where it takes forever to get back your loot.

It's starting to not be fun anymore, but maybe we're doing something wrong

[lilac coyote]

Well, it's lots of islands you can travel between. It can be pretty dark at night so make sure you're going in the day.

[raven jasper]

Does it get more fun and easier once you actually have the Ashlands weapons?

[junior sigil]

It helps to start from a beachhead and then slowly take ground with campfire spawn proofing.

Are you playing on normal difficulty?

[lilac coyote]

More fun? It's always fun. I guess it makes it easier, but you can definitely beat it with Mistlands gear.

[raven jasper]

Yes

[raven jasper]

We haven't gotten our loot back all day that's why it's not fun

[mellow lodge]

Ashlands really wants you to use a lot of portals and push carefully at the beginning.

Once I got to the beach, I established a safe ish portal first thing. From there it was small pushes dropping more portals along the way.

[tired root]

What weapons did you use? AoE weapons are very useful when there are multiple enemies, like Demolisher. Mistwalker is good also thanks to the frost effect that slows, but you could also use even Frostner if you want additional knockback that Mistwalker lacks.

You could also make some safe place where mobs can't reach you, like creating earth wall with Hoe and stones. Lava blobs can damage terrain tho but every else mob (that can't fly) cannot reach you inside the walls.

[mellow lodge]

From what I’ve seen, some people play wildly different ways, and some of the ways are rather chaotic and get wrecked in ashlands.

I watched a streamer run around attracting more and more mobs with a mage build, and never once just jumped on top of a putrid cave he was running around.

[junior sigil]

Definitely if you don't deal with the mobs as they come and keep moving, eventually you are leading a parade of death.

[mellow lodge]

Yeah I’ve observed that in random videos I’ve watched. 🙂

[lilac coyote]

I've said it before, but this game teaches you to prepare before doing ANYTHING and I think people got complacent when it was 5 biomes for so long and they're rushing into Ashlands like they're used to with every other biome, even Mistlands to an extent (though that has a similar issue), and are getting slaughtered for it.

[mellow lodge]

There’s a solo streamer on twitch right now actually doing the right stuff. She’s talking about dropping multiple portals and is doing that. Granted she’s been in Ashlands a while and is going for mysterious locations now. But so far I’m more impressed with her play than most.

[south glacier]

valheim has speed runners and more preparation than an eagle scout, no in between

[mellow lodge]

I’m more the Eagle Scout. But I’ve watched the speed runners and it’s super interesting and informative

[lilac coyote]

And the speed runners have done the preparation in earlier games.

[mellow lodge]

Yeah they have already learned all attack patterns for example

[spark flower]

I just built a new base and I have slain Eikthyr, what's next for me? I know something to do with black forest but in terms of stuff I should do?

[lilac coyote]

Well, what did Eikthyr drop?

[south glacier]

and what can you make with it

[lilac coyote]

I was leading up to that, yes.

[subtle parrot]

Make new gear and plenty of food, explore the black forest and follow Hugins instructions, make more new gear etc

[lilac coyote]

Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

[spark flower]

I made the antler pickaxe yeah, but I meant moreso is there anything I should keep in mind

[spark flower]

Alright thank you!

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, Fukov is correct, that's the basic gameplay loop for the game. Bosses always drop an ingredient for something that will be nearly essential in the next biome, Hugin will usually introduce new mechanics and always keep an eye on your food and make the best options where possible.

[spark flower]

Ah alright, thanks Derek!

[south glacier]

and always keep an eye out for stuff you haven't picked up yet

touching things, including grass, is very important in valheim

[raven jasper]

do you need to make two stone portals for one connection?

[lilac coyote]

No, you can use a wood portal for the destination portal.

[lofty coyote]

Hi guys I'm returning player i forgat what is need to download to join in other servers

[lilac coyote]

The game is all you need to play.

[lofty coyote]

ok tanks i install it

can i join now?

[lilac coyote]

Have a look and find one you like in #1024264966712340510

[raven jasper]

A Fallen Valkyrie knocked my loot far into the lava

can you build onto the lava?

[lilac coyote]

Your best option is to use basalt bombs to generate new terrain (careful, it's temporary0

[lofty coyote]

I'm looking for a beginner friendly server 😊

[lilac coyote]

Still #1024264966712340510

[random pine]

Huh did ashlands break (or fix, I guess) noclip on fly? Coulda sworn terrain clipping was off by default while fly was active.

[frail cave]

flying at high speeds just makes collision detection a bit funky and allows clipping especially if you repeatedly throw yourself into a corner or something

[oblique linden]

if an update is released, will it appear in the world from the old version or will it be necessary to create a new world?

[true steeple]

New content will generate in unexplored parts of the world

[oblique linden]

Ok thanks

[spark flower]

should I stick with my small wooden shield or upgrade to the bigger one, trying to get my hands on stuff from the black forest

[frosty frost]

if you like parrying you can get a bronze buckler from black forest 🙂

[spark flower]

ooh sounds good to me! but should I go with the big wooden one while I gather the smelter materials do you think?

[frosty frost]

you cant parry with the tower shield, so if you are used to the round shield i would not change it 🙂

[spark flower]

Alright, thanks!

[tired root]

Just to add that the buckler has higher base block armor than wooden shield so it is worthy to craft.

[frosty frost]

i expect nothing less from a shield thats one biome more advanced 😄

[tired root]

True that.

[molten mountain]

parrying bosses does nothing, right? they can't be staggered?

[frosty frost]

yep, but it lets you block more dmg, but it is more efficient to roll in that case

[true steeple]

The only reason you’d want to parry is to attack faster than rolling, because the animation is shorter

[orchid iron]

Hello, do chicken (when they are still little) not eat ?

[true steeple]

Animals must be fully grown to eat.

[orchid iron]

Oh great, I thought small wolves and pigs did eat, I guess I was wrong

thank you

[orchid iron]

I found that for them to grow they would need around 50 minutes, does the timer stop when I leave the area ?

[true steeple]

I think you need to be nearby but I'm not too sure about that.

[orchid iron]

Okay, thanks

[molten mountain]

timers do continue when you're not there, but you do need to be present to get more little ones

[frosty frost]

As dusty said, the growth timer still runs but for breeding you need to be there 😄

[orchid iron]

Is it the same for eggs hatching ? I don't need to be there ?

[gloomy sonnet]

hello there. anyonne would be willing to help me to attack my first charred fortress ?

contact me in discord 😉

[tired root]

Yes, you are required to be on same zone when you want hens to lay eggs. Eggs hatching and chicken growing don't require your presence.

[kind shore]

**Which torch/lamp gives the most light in places? (I need a lot of light) 🤣 **

[spark flower]

Crafted a forge, assuming I'll need to do more in the black forest to unlock more recipes than just the copper knife right?

[true steeple]

Mine some tin to make bronze

[spark flower]

oh tin is along the shoreline right?

[true steeple]

Anywhere near water, like flint

[spark flower]

Alright I'll have a look, thanks!

[frosty frost]

I think so, pretty sure it Is the same but not 100%

[spark flower]

Unlocked some recipes for bronze stuff now! and I see there's multiple choices for weapons.. I'm thinking of going with the sword but is this a bad move?

[quasi vault]

Swords have great options and work well all the way to the endgame

[junior sigil]

What I have found is that you have to come back before your fire keeping the eggs warm would run out. It seems like when the game catches up time it catches up the fire first, so it could go out, and then the eggs, so if the fire would have gone out even after the eggs would have hatched, it processes the eggs' catch up like they were cold the whole time and they don't hatch. At least in my experience. I haven't seen the case enough to know if it's always consistent.

[lime sierra]

Copper sword or spear?

which one y'all recon is better?

[junior sigil]

Neither, per se. One does slash damage, the other pierce. Can be useful in different situations.

[lime sierra]

whats difference between slash and pierce?

[junior sigil]

Personally, I'd probably make the sword first if you had to choose.

Different enemies are stong or weak (or neutral) to different damage types.

[lime sierra]

i have gone for a light troll armor instead of heavy bronze to stay fast, do you recon i should go spear to keep distance tho?>

[junior sigil]

See if anyone else has a comment on the fine merits of it. I'd say try the one you think you'll like. You can always get some more bronze and make the other later.

Trolls are weak to pierce, I believe, so the spear has that going for it.

[frosty frost]

Sword will be generally a better all-rounder i would say 🙂

[lime sierra]

mk

welp i didnt realise there was more appart from mase and found a atgeir so i got that now

[spark flower]

I've killed a couple trolls now, but I've been dodging their attacks for the most part as I'm unsure if it's possible to parry them

Should I continue dodging or try with blocking/parrying

[junior sigil]

Ability to block or parry without getting staggered depends on your max hp, so your foods, basically. Try once having eating at least 2 of the best hp foods you have.

[winter grotto]

Modder is wrecking me solo.

[tired root]

Parrying will be much more successful after you get the first buckler, don't try with wooden shield.

[spark flower]

Alright good to know

[true steeple]

You could also make the bronze atgeir. Its secondary can consistently stagger trolls in one hit when your skill is raised a little.

[glacial swan]

does anyone know how to find yagluth ive been looking for the vegvisir for 2 days and still havent found it

[junior sigil]

Vegvisr will be at a stonehenge, and these are spread out and is random if they have one so can be hard to find. You might run across an altar first -- a big stone structure that looks like a hand.

[hoary ocean]

is the WISHBONE (bonemass item) usefull in Mistland?

[frosty frost]

nope

[stoic trench]

Would be neat if it did have some uses in later biomes

[lilac coyote]

Nah, boss drops are for the next biome only really.

[junior sigil]

Well, in the wishbone case, it works in the same and prior biomes: buried scrap piles in swamp, ship grave chests in meadows.

[lilac coyote]

Exactly.

[small nest]

are boars taming while being ditrupted? (yellow dot above head)

[true steeple]

With the yellow or red icon, taming will be paused.

[thorn spire]

not yellow. just red

I think

[glacial swan]

yagluths boss vegvisr is so hard to find

[true steeple]

I’ve only found it once, I usually find his altar first.

[small nest]

thanks 👍

[glacial swan]

over the last 3 days Ive probably spent 8-12 hours just going arround other plains

[manic gyro]

I had my first few black cores before finding yagluth. Spotted infefested mines while sailing along mistland shores while sesrching for more plains to search..

It was the first and only time I was very tempted to use the mapviewer website

[true steeple]

#1024264966712340510

[glacial swan]

why did they make the yagluth boss vegvisr so hard to find

[languid ridge]

Given perfect skill training conditions, approximately how many bolts would it take to max out crossbows skill?

[true steeple]

If I’m understanding the wiki page correctly, 20,301

But you aren’t intended to get that far in normal gameplay, especially with how late crossbows are introduced.

[languid ridge]

Thank you very much, that is a very useful piece of information that just made my day!

[stoic trench]

Fair enough, and yeah upon further thought- it would suck to lose your wishbone one way or another then have to defeat Bonemass to get another.

[molten mountain]

it would be nice to have some use for the spare Eikthyr antlers that are left after making a pickaxe

[stoic trench]

Eh, just trash them after making yourself a pickaxe (maybe two?)

[true steeple]

There isn’t any spare antlers in multiplayer so anything else to use them for would require those players to kill Eikthyr multiple times.

[molten mountain]

to be fair, it's eikthyr

(we beat him unarmed multiple times in my multiplayer group xD)

[true steeple]

None of the other bosses have any reason to be killed multiple times

[molten mountain]

actually, how come the wishbone and swamp key both drop "1 per player", but the antlers don't? 🤔

[junior sigil]

Is there any command that could be used to delete ashvine growing on a wall without affecting anything else? With no real in-game way to get rid of it other than punching it (takes forever) or using a weapon (damages the wall behind), I need some other way out of the consequences of my own actions.

[lilac coyote]

forcedelete VineAsh would work.

[junior sigil]

Thanks. Does that have a radius?

[true steeple]

You put the radius between forcedelete and vineash

[lilac coyote]

I think the maximum is 10 so it doesn't make a huge difference.

[junior sigil]

so forcedelete 10 VineAsh would be 10 m?

[true steeple]

Yes

[junior sigil]

Awesome. Thanks!

I enabled the console (first time), but getting "forcedelete is not valid in the current context". Was there something else I needed to enable?

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, you need to enable dev commands with, well, devcommands

[junior sigil]

That's got it. Thanks very much!

[buoyant peak]

Craft several

[mortal narwhal]

what is the bigger version of the neck? idk if its a mod or not but i forget what its called

[lilac coyote]

The Asksvin?

[frail cave]

Question if say I'm lvl 100 bow and I wear the root armor do I still get the extra lvls?

Or any extra dmg

[lilac coyote]

No, 100 is the maximum level even with buffs.

[frail cave]

Ok thanks

I feel like it should still give you the lvls

[lilac coyote]

100 is more levels than you need in any skill.

[frail cave]

I mean 115 bow would be fun

[buoyant peak]

Probably wouldn't even have any extra effect

[warm condor]

any tips i should know for when i fight bonemass?

[frail cave]

probably root armor and a iron club

[warm condor]

root armour comes from abominations yeah?

[frail cave]

yea

[true furnace]

Anyone knows what could cause tar pit to spawn only one growth instead of two?
No spawn blocker structures, only raised the ground to make some sort of farm and that’s it

[molten mountain]

have you ever needed several antler pickaxes?

[frosty frost]

it is faster to have three of them while mining copper for example and change them after each one breaks, then go repair all of them at once 🙂

same with iron mining

[molten mountain]

okay, fair point

[frosty frost]

poison resist mead and iron mace, armor at your discretion but i would go with iron

[true steeple]

Even troll armor is good enough so it doesn't matter that much

[frosty frost]

well you technically dont really need any and its still doable 😄 but thats just unnecessarily ramping up the difficulty imo (not to mention it is most likely a new player when they are asking for bonemass tips 🙂 )

[warm condor]

Seems like im good to go i got all of that, thanks for the help preciate it

[frosty frost]

😄

[sterile thunder]

Moved thanks to Asatru! (thanks for telling me)

[frosty frost]

#mods-issues might be a bit better place 😄

[spark flower]

Is copper sword good or should I try switch the the spear or pole arm?

[lost sandal]

The Atgeir is amazing and worth it, imo

It's the first weapon i always craft in that age

Its heavy attack is an amazing 360 spin that knocks enemy's back and staggers them. Its normal attack is also very effective against trolls, since it's puncture type damage

@spark flower ^

[tired root]

It's pierce damage, not puncture @lost sandal

But I agree, Atgeirs are great.

[lost sandal]

oops, got my terms mixed. Still the same against trolls tho

[spark flower]

Ooh good to know! Is it usuable with shields? I've been trying to use bronze buckler for parrying trolls but to no avail

[lost sandal]

Its a 2 handed, so no

but it's worth that trade imo

[tired root]

Swords are overall good tho, they get no multi target penalty and there are only some enemies that resist Slash damage.

[frosty frost]

instead of blocking enemies with a shield you stagger them by the secondary 🙂

[lost sandal]

strafe and roll to get close and then swing is the method with Atgeirs

[spark flower]

Oh okay! Thanks for all the tips everyone! Hopefully if I face off against the boss today I'll win

[lost sandal]

Best of luck!

[frosty frost]

be carefull tho, bosses cant be staggered 😉

[tired root]

My recommendation also is Mace. I learned to love it again at the end game thanks to the higher knockback.

[frosty frost]

Ugh... knockback...

[spark flower]

I had a feeling, hopefully the black forest boss isn't too brutal! I think I've found where it's located.. ||Vesegir the elder|| I think?

[lost sandal]

If you're going against Elder, my best suggestion is fire arrows. Lots and lots of fire arrows

[frosty frost]

yep, a vegvisir 🙂 yeah boss has few somewhere in coresponding biome

[lost sandal]

Last I fought him, his melee attacks hurt really bad. Worse than his ranged even

That was ages ago tho lol

[subtle parrot]

Still pretty much the same

[junior sigil]

Also, don't use pierce against Bonemass. He's resistant. Use a mace / blunt weapon.

[molten mountain]

people grinding their bow or spear skills: hold my tankard

[lost sandal]

Doesn't the tankard do blunt damage when used as a weapon? What's stopping you from using it to kill bonemass?

who needs maces when you have weaponized mead?

[frosty frost]

huh, i dont see the dmg it does on the wiki 🤔 so maybe the basic fist dmg?

[lost sandal]

I swear i remember it technically doing blunt

[tired root]

Who needs weapons when you have FISTS (free Blunt damage)???

[frosty frost]

will go test it 👌

[lost sandal]

i dunno, I like my weaponized alcohol

[willow raft]

I punched moder to death once, well at least the last damage was a punch.

[frosty frost]

Oh... tankard cant be used as a weapon 😦

[molten mountain]

time to drop a new suggestion then 😛

[frosty frost]

Go for it xD

[willow raft]

Someone urgently needs to make a mod for it.
A suggestion about it wouldn't be a bad idea either.

[lost sandal]

I swear it could be.

[tired root]

You all ache to mug those enemies, right?

[lost sandal]

get out

[frosty frost]

Smiffeeeeeeeeeeee, why no punchy tankaaaaard? 😦

[lost sandal]

XD

seriously tho, I absolutely remember being able to smack things with a tankard

[molten mountain]

alright, the tankard weapon suggestion is up 😂
#suggestions message

[lost sandal]

to be fair tho, I've slept like 6-7 hours the past 2 nights combined. So my brain is scattered

I'mma use my mod powers on that one. (it's not power abuse, I promise)

It just gets 2 thumbs up

[molten mountain]

that's how democracy works, right? 😉

[lost sandal]

I mean, if I wanted to abuse I'd just straight up remove 👎 from the reactions lmao

but i'm not gonna do that

[frosty frost]

YES

[tired root]

Now that some mugging power.

[lost sandal]

[frail cave]

i encourage puns

[frosty frost]

Yeah, its was, after all, quite punny 😄

[tired root]

Please have mercy, I am indeed a dad so dad jokes flow in my veins, can't help it.

[willow raft]

Keep it up and you might end up with a mug shot.

[lost sandal]

Ok, that was a good one Kamap

[molten mountain]

or perhaps you'll win a cup

[lost sandal]

I'mma just go back to my Metal music and Warframe. I'm too tired for these puns

[willow raft]

So no more PUNitive action from you?

[lilac coyote]

Ooh, I like that one.

[true furnace]

Can you puch enemies with mugs?

[frail cave]

in MHW? yea~

[true furnace]

Imagine killing deathsquitos with mugs

What a payback

[true furnace]

MHW?

[frosty frost]

monster hunter: world i assume

[true furnace]

Can anyone help me out on this one?

[true furnace]

Didn’t think of this one tbh

[primal zealot]

whats the next step to getting a better wepon, rn i have a silver sword and dont know what wepon i should try and get next

[true steeple]

Have you killed Moder? If you have, go to plains biomes.

[primal zealot]

yes and yes i have black metal and linen but dont know what wepon to make

[frosty frost]

if you are used to swords you can make a sword 🙂

[primal zealot]

so i should make the black metal sword ?

[true steeple]

Yes, all the black metal weapons are good so it would be best to go with the weapon type you are more experienced with.

[prime rampart]

Is there a mod to rais mob dificulty ? like hp and dmg ? does the normal vannila setting for hard-verry hard do something ?

[true steeple]

The combat difficulty world modifier increases enemy damage and health

[prime rampart]

will this also apply to moded creature from Monstrum ?

[true steeple]

I'd assume so but I haven't used mods

[prime rampart]

We instaled a mod tath thunderstore says is nbr 1 mod for soemthing like tath but we had 9 star graylings :/

[frosty frost]

if you have question about mods them fols in #mods-discussion might know a thing or two 🙂

[prime rampart]

awww thanks 🙂

[spark flower]

Bonemass??

[true steeple]

He's resistant to slash (0.5x), very resistant to pierce (0.25x) and weak to blunt (1.5x).

[spark flower]

Who is bonemass is that like the black forest boss?

[true steeple]

No, the third boss

[junior sigil]

Oh, sorry. You wrote "the boss" and I just read it wrong. Ignore that!

He's a boss, but apparently not the one you're after. 🙂

[spark flower]

Oh no worries! But he'll be on my list after the black forest boss

[silent jackal]

@barren briar

so for my shield currently, i get 78 block armor plus an extra 83 from my skill progression. then i multiply that sum by 1.5 and add 40% of my hp. thats how much i can parry. so my hp is 168 and 40% of that is 67.2, so 67.2 + (1.5(78+83)) is 67.2 + 241.5 = 308.7 dmg that i can parry before it dips into my stagger bar

[willow raft]

I always though that the (83) was the actual block armor, the 78 is the base and the 83 was what you have because of skill level.

[silent jackal]

ah nope. its the bonus u get from ur skill

[willow raft]

Because at lvl 100 you would have 50% extra block armor.

0.5% per level

so at lvl 20 block you would have 10% extra block armor which would give 85-86 block armor.

[true steeple]

83 is the total block armor, not a bonus

[formal forge]

Can i have some help plz

[true steeple]

At 168 health and with 124.5 parry armor, you can parry 182.6 damage

[true steeple]

What do you need help with?

[formal forge]

Me and my friend did play yesterday and he was hosting it and it did work fine but today i cant connect to him and he has done the same as yesterday

[true steeple]

What happens when you try connecting?

[formal forge]

Wait a sec

It is trying to connect then it stops and says failed to connect

[true steeple]

How are you joining? Through a friend list or join code?

[formal forge]

Tryed both

[silent jackal]

that would mean that im only getting 3. armor while using my sword and 5 while using my shield. that doesnt make any sense.

[true steeple]

Skill increases block armor by a percentage, so the shield gets increased further than the sword because of a higher base block armor.

Just like attack damage on the sword, the yellow number in brackets is what's actually being used, not the orange number.

[silent jackal]

my whole life has been a lie 😂 the video i watched explained it differently

[formal forge]

What can i or my friend do we both are on Xbox

[silent jackal]

jokes aside tho idk

[formal forge]

@true steeple could you help me?

[true steeple]

I haven’t played valheim on Xbox for over a year and can’t even remember if this has happened to me or not. Has your friend tried reopening valheim or at least reopening the world?

[formal forge]

@true steeple btw i did not like the way darha did reply to me.

[true steeple]

I can’t do anything about that

[formal forge]

@true steeple how do he reopen the world and will we loose progress?

[willow raft]

Restarting the xboxes might also help.

[formal forge]

@willow raft already done that

[willow raft]

Then I'm at a loss, don't own an xbox and don't know more than "try restarting it, it might fix it".

[formal forge]

If i look at recent server tab or Favorite tab i see the server but to the right of servername it shows like a sheet of notpaper with a red cross on it

[true steeple]

Is your friend checking ‘start server’ when opening the world?

[silent jackal]

u can fit like 9 ish in a 1x1 flooring space

[barren briar]

That's a 1x1 space??

So like 3 x 3 could fit?

[silent jackal]

more accurate picture

i was just guessing based off the spacing on my other crops

[barren briar]

Look about like a 3x3 would work mayne

[silent jackal]

almost exactly the same size

[barren briar]

Wow. Tiles don't feel that big.

[sterile thunder]

Why is it that the Bonfire keeps turning on and off, even when the fuel is maxed out?

The chimney has a roof over it, so it doesn't rain in. There's plenty of space for it...

[willow raft]

That means the smoke can't vent enough.

[thorn spire]

bonfire needs lots of air to keep going. Why are you using it inside? It'll stay lit even outside.

[sterile thunder]

Ah, okay... I'll give it more venting space

[barren briar]

Unless rain.

[willow raft]

For the roof did you use the 26 or the 45?

[silver storm]

Can anyone tell some tips for serpents

[barren briar]

I thought lack of vent just got you smoked out.

[sterile thunder]

first row is 45 deg, then continue with the 26 deg

[barren briar]

Oh were talking bonfires. My b

[silver storm]

I'm trying to get good food for bonemass

[barren briar]

I was thinking campfire.

[willow raft]

Can also happen but it also turns off the smoke making thing.

[willow raft]

Yeah you need at least another roof tile made into a chimney.

[barren briar]

I think chimneys need to be all 26,right?

[sterile thunder]

Yes working on a raised chimney level bigger now

[barren briar]

4x4 is excessive, but looks really cool for a yurt style chimmney

[willow raft]

Nah you can do what you want but you need enough ventilation which is easier to get with the 45 than with the 26.

[willow raft]

You need about the same ventilation as the bonfire's footprint.

[mellow lodge]

you don't even need ventilation if your ceiling is high enough 🙂

[barren briar]

I guess 45s make sense

[silent jackal]

line your boat up with the wind, put your sail at half mast, and then get up and just shoot it with arrows while its chasing your ship

also you can harpoon it if you have a harpoon, and drag it to shore to shoot it and collect its scales

[willow raft]

True the particles will poof in the nook of the roof if the ceiling is high enough.

[barren briar]

How big is the bonfire foot? You said only 1 more tile for him

[sterile thunder]

2x3 now, with 26 deg below, and 45 deg abov

[willow raft]

If you damage it enough so it only needs one more hit you can do a jumping attack and if you aim at the middle and hit it just right you can have all the loot pop onto you.

[echo sparrow]

that's more efficient and feasible maybe, but nearly as fun as pretending you're a whaler, harpooning them, and dragging them on to shore

[willow raft]

Around 3 to 4 floor tiles. So might work with only 3 roof tiles removed and that looked like 2 removed tiles in the pictures.

[silent jackal]

you can also have chimneys that vent off to the side through a wall. like if you have your bonfire on the bottom floor, you can have open tiles above it leading up to your second floor, then put tiles above it and have an open section of the wall next to it so that it vents off to the side without having to have ceiling tiles right above it to prevent rain.

[willow raft]

You can also make a chimney that doesn't need a covering if you make it either go sideways or if it is 2 wide and 4 high you can hide alternating roof tiles in the chimney, so one pushes the smoke to one side and the next the other side.

[silent jackal]

you also dont even need a chimney at all if you have a big enough area for the smoke to disperse.

idk how much smoke a bonfire produces tho. you might need a pretty big area

[willow raft]

True I also like dragging them to shore but solo that is harder to do.

[barren briar]

I made a little room in the wall that is just a chimney. Looks kinda cool from the outside actually

[silent jackal]

but like i have 4 furnaces, 5 kilns, and 6 forges as well as 2 hanging braziers and a campfire for my bed all in my bottom floor, with no chimney

i dont get smoked out and the fires dont go out

everything is kinda a mess rn but its functional lol

[barren briar]

Do forges and kilns do the smoke?

[silent jackal]

they produce smoke for sure, maybe not enough to actually qualify as a smoke cloud. lemme check to make sure

ya they do

[barren briar]

I Def thought getting smoke killed was a campfire/bonfire problem only. Doesn't even look like they produce a whole lot on their own

[silent jackal]

my forge room is just massive, 3 stone walls high and 10 long

[barren briar]

Is there a snapping trick to building that high? Or do you ladder up?

[silent jackal]

i kinda minecraft my way about it, i make one, jump up on top, make another, jump up on top and make another, and then just build across

some areas i did have to make a ladder to get up, but it was just when i was making my roof

[barren briar]

You can jump the height of a tile?

[silent jackal]

ya

holding the jump button down will make u jump slightly higher, u can also scale walls.

[echo sparrow]

and over time jumping will level the jump skill which gives a boost to how high and far you can jump

level to level not much noticeable difference but the difference between level 0 and 100 is quite noticeable

[barren briar]

Must be why I can't yet. How do. You scale walls??

[silent jackal]

i posted a video in #memes-and-clips

[echo sparrow]

you just basically run directly at them holding sprint and spamming jump--if you have enough stamina, you can scale virtually vertical surfaces this way

[silent jackal]

ive noticed that u cant scale wooden walls tho, on the outside. u can scale them on the side with the support beams tho. pretty sure it has to do with the surface being textured

[echo sparrow]

yeah, ive notice that too--it seems like it's way easier if there's some 'texture' even just small imperfections for the player to like "gain a foothold' and kick off for the next jump--I can sometimes manage to scale a smoother surface, but it's way harder, seems to more often slide down or bounce off than to chain jumps the way you need to to raise altitude

most 'natural' surfaces at least, are rough enough to do this with tho

[silent jackal]

ya. that was actually a life saver when i was doing bonemass lol

i had made my platform and then he broke my ladder, and then i went back to get my shit after i died, and kinda just hoped that it would work, i ran straight at the platform and kept jumping and made it all the way to the top

and that was when i realized u could wall jump

[true steeple]

I'm surprised the stone walls have a bumpy collision, I'd expect them to be perfect blocks.

[silent jackal]

i like that theyre not

[echo sparrow]

they LOOK bumpy--the first stone version you get at least, grausten & black marble pieces tend to look at lot smoother

[mellow lodge]

yeah, the stone is definitely rough and imperfect

[frank spear]

Could i get @lofty orchid

[frosty frost]

you have to send it a DM 🙂

[frank spear]

guess ill wait for 2 hours for a response while this guy ruins all the LFG posts with spam

[barren briar]

?

[stoic trench]

It’s actually faster, since all helpers/mods are alerted at the same time.

[lilac coyote]

Two hours?!

[frank spear]

im being dramatic its been handled

[lilac coyote]

Very dramatic in that case. Mods are pretty swift on this server.

[manic lark]

ye im bit stupid but is valheim still in public test version or no? its showing me that the last stable is before ashlands

[frosty frost]

currently there is no player testing being done, the latest version is the normal live version

[lilac coyote]

It's in Early Access yes.

[frosty frost]

Ah, that might be what they are asking 😅

[manic lark]

i got just those

[lilac coyote]

You don't need any of those. Those are the test builds.

[manic lark]

oh so i can select the non

[lilac coyote]

That's the default anyway.

[manic lark]

thank youu ❤️

[fallen fern]

hi im using Almanac Class System and my spell bar disapear how i turn it back on?

[lilac coyote]

I have no idea what that is. Is it a mod?

[fallen fern]

yes mod

[lilac coyote]

#mods-issues might be able to help.

[frosty frost]

I assume its a mod? If thats the case try asking folks in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues 😄 they know way more about that stuff than we do here

[fallen fern]

thx

[lilac coyote]

Keep up 😉

[frosty frost]

it was a long sentence ok? xD

[lilac coyote]

Lol, fair enough.

[nimble tapir]

Trying to join a server with my friend on pc when I join him it just shows connecting doesn't let me put in the password and if he tries to join me it let's him put in the password but just stays on connecting anyone know what might be going on it's vanilla no mods btw

It is a personal server

[kind shore]

Is there an item in game that make exploring in foggy areas easier? Like a portable lamp or something?

[junior sigil]

In due progression, yes. Don't go to mistlands before defeating the plains boss.

[kind shore]

I have defeated Eikthyr, The Elder, Moder and Yagluth. Im on the way to kill bonemass

[lilac coyote]

Well that's an interesting order.

[kind shore]

is Bonemass harder than Moder?

[junior sigil]

Should have come before Moder.

[kind shore]

oh

[junior sigil]

Did you skip silver tier things, or did you find silver by smashing stagbreaker everywhere?

[kind shore]

I haven't found silver yet

[junior sigil]

Playing on normal difficulty?

[kind shore]

I think so

[junior sigil]

Skipped to plains gear I guess, then?

[frosty frost]

progression should be Meadows->Black Forest->Swamp->Mountain->Plains->Mistlands->Ashlands and eventualy Deep North

[grizzled mural]

genuenly what is wrong with abominations????? like you hit them onces and they run away to the other end of the swamp. last time i played this they chased you till the end of time! what bug is this??

[spare palm]

Is 2x2 the largest tile size I can use when building?

[stoic trench]

Depends on what material you’re using, different materials have different shapes and sizes

Starting out, wood is only 2m x 2m

[spare palm]

if I wanted to build en masse, I couldn't change the tile size? like for floors?

[stoic trench]

Nope, just have to place them piece by piece

[spare palm]

Ok thanks

[static forge]

anyone else getting the failed to connect message when trying to join a friends server?

[barren briar]

Sounds like a bandwidth issue with the host

[peak trout]

Hello, i am trying to start game but it is crashing and not opening

what should it be? I have crash log file but didnt understand really problem what is

[true steeple]

Have you got any mods installed now or have installed mods previously?

[peak trout]

no just vanilla

and i just download after half year later rn

[willow raft]

What do you mean with crashes?
Does it give the "not responding" message, if so, just let it run for a while and don't touch the pc.

If not that, check out: #steam-bugs-discussion message

[peak trout]

It doesn't return in any way, only one crash pop up appears and goes away instantly.

[willow raft]

Yeah check the link and follow the steps.

[true steeple]

Have you tried verifying or reinstalling the game files?

[peak trout]

yes i did. also i checked the link

[willow raft]

It's a reddit page explaining most causes of crashes and how to fix them.

[peak trout]

to be honest i checked most of them, I uninstalled and restored everything that was dependent on valheim with a different software and the problem was solved. thanks for help have good day @true steeple @willow raft

[spring frigate]

how im suppose to get totems to spawn yagg?

[willow raft]

Raid the fuling villages and other fuling infested buildings, kill and slaughter them all, the berserkers can drop them as well.
They are found standing on walls, hanging on poles and such.

[subtle parrot]

They glow purple too

[spring frigate]

...so you can they can drop....

[tired root]

Fuling Berserkers have small chance to drop a totem.

[spring frigate]

Well i raided 5 villages so far and no totems :C

So im up for any waay to get them

[tired root]

Not all villages have them, keep searching.

[willow raft]

The most I got from a village is 3, 1 from a berserker and 2 on poles but that was a massive village, some villages will have none others can have a couple.
If you really can't find some and are tired of looking, you can always check the world with a world viewer and see where you can get them.
Though it takes away the fun but if you don't have the time or can't deal with the frustration it is an option that I wouldn't recommend though.

[loud linden]

Some of the Fuling Towers have them too. RNG aside, there's no shortage of Fuling totems.

[orchid iron]

I made a pretty big base and walled it off, I littered the inside with workstations so that I can stop mobs from spawning inside my base, but for some reason I can sometimes still find enemies inside the base, I checked and double checked and triple checked if there is an area in my base not covered by a workstation and I found nothing, does anyone know what I should do, last thing I want is for something to spawn in my chicken coup and kill by beautiful hens (this almost happened when I got a surtling raid, I found one right next to the coup)

[loud linden]

Are you skirting the coast?

[orchid iron]

what do you mean ?

[loud linden]

Does your base back up against the water? Like a boat jetty?

[orchid iron]

Nope, the walls go around the whole base, there is a bit of ground between me and the water

[loud linden]

Then your 'anti-spawn coverage' (i.e. workstations) is inadequate.

Throw some campfires around. It might help.

[orchid iron]

I mean, once I found a greydwarf shaman inside my small walled garden that has a workstation right next to it, how could he have gotten inside if he didn't spawn inside, and how could he have spawned inside when I have a workstation right next to the garden that cover everything. But yeah, I'll go around make some other types of base items to prevent spwning and hope for the best

[loud linden]

They used to get into my base via the water... swimming round and using the stairs I put in place at each of my boat docks. After I put iron gates on the stairs, I've had no issues. How big is your base?

[orchid iron]

pretty big, don't know exactly

[subtle parrot]

Make sure your workbench circles are overlapping and not leaving any space between them, otherwise they will possibly spawn in those little spaces

[orchid iron]

could they spawn on the walls and fall inside the base ?

[subtle parrot]

That seems less likely

[loud linden]

My walls are roughly 100x100m. The only enemies come via the water.

[loud linden]

Where are you up to, progress-wise?

[orchid iron]

Mistland

just started it

[loud linden]

Maybe try using Hildir's Fire Pits as external lighting. That might cover the gaps.

It also looks great! (Until it rains :P)

[orchid iron]

does it still stop spawning when it's not lit / raining ?

[loud linden]

It does for campfires, so I presume so for those as well.

[orchid iron]

Okay, I'll try it, thank you

[loud linden]

But, once you set them up how you like, you'll want to keep them lit 🙂

[thick nexus]

does the sealing tower loot and enemies respawn at all?

[stoic trench]

Nope!

[thick nexus]

damnnn, okay, thank you

[echo sparrow]

one of the few buildpieces that is a fire but I'm NOT entirely sure actually DOES block spawn is the Hildir Firepit iron
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Firepit_iron
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[loud linden]

I'm imagining the 'Sealing Tower' as some kind of Howl's Moving Castle that wanders the landscape binding tectonic plates and negating continental drift.

[echo sparrow]

it's conspicuously absent from the list of 'player base' items, items that block spawn

[loud linden]

Fair enough. I don't know for sure. Adorn the base with campfires & bonfires if that doesn't work.

[echo sparrow]

campfire, 100%, my go to

cheap, and one of the few that ALSO doesn't draw aggro on it's own (it will like all structures if a player aggro'd a mob recently and they can't reach the player--they'll just randomly attack what's nearest before calming down after a bit if not re-aggro'd by a player)

[loud linden]

It may be relevant to argue that enemies are adverse to 'fire', as opposed to 'campfires'; but, again, I don't know for sure.

[echo sparrow]

yeah the 'afraid of fire' thing I think only applies to graylings, boars, and MAYBE the lowest level greydwarf, and I think it's for torches and campfires, not 100% sure beyond that, i'd expect bonfires and also the rest of "fire" sources for consistency, but sometimes stuff like that gets overlooked in games

[main stratus]

I need help getting a few numbers without spoilers attached if anyone

I haven't been to the mistlands or ashlands but need to know what the max armor rating and what a good damage value that the enemies do in each region

[tired root]

If using maxed new armors (and capes), then in Mistlands highest armor rate is 111 (all quality 3) and in Ashlands it is 142 (all quality 3).

[main stratus]

Okay, and by, "good damage value" I mean the damage that the most regular enemy in the region does

If it's split damage, then just the two values added together

[mellow lodge]

if you want all this specific info, just go to the wiki and look at the mobs in that biome and see the damage yourself.

anyone who is going to give you that exact data is just getting it from the wiki, and all you're doing is getting them to look it up for you

[main stratus]

I don't want to see the enemies, I don't want spoilers

[mellow lodge]

well you're asking for some amount of spoilers. just assume "does more damage than the biome before it"

[main stratus]

The reason I need the information is not because I'm trying to be ready for the region, I'm trying to design a better damage calculation system

But right now, I'm only using data from the plains and before

[subtle parrot]

I would argue there really isn't an avg damage type or amount in ashlands, there's a lot going on and a lot of different mobs

[main stratus]

Understood

I'll just extrapolate the numbers then

[subtle parrot]

But mistlands would likely be pierce, but I'm not sure of the amount

[loud linden]

Hit the Wiki. It saves everyone, including you, more time.

[echo sparrow]

@loud linden he specifically trying to get the info whilst somehow avoiding that lol

[loud linden]

I'm not into attempting to help people achieve the impossible. 😛

[echo sparrow]

lol, why not? that's the very essence of being human

FYI the average damage of all the attacks of probably the most common/stock enemy in Mistlands is like 103, definitely leans pierce type as 2 of 3 attacks are pierce @main stratus

[main stratus]

My extrapolation came out as 95, so that sounds about right

Thank you

My extrapolation for the normal damage of the ashlands was 123, does that sound kind of normal?

well, 124

[echo sparrow]

taking (this quick math is all 'zero' stars variants, no attempt to weight an average for those) the 3 most common (I think, from anecdotal experience) enemies in the Ashlands and just averaging all their attacks I get 126

[main stratus]

Perfect, thank you

[echo sparrow]

np

[true steeple]

1 star does 50% more damage and 2 star is doubled, so you can easily find the damage of those variants.

[echo sparrow]

yeah it wouldn't be too hard, to factor in that discounted by the spawn probability, I just was being lazy

but that would mean that technically the damage is likely in fact ever so slightly higher on average

[main stratus]

Well, star enemies having their damage doubled being kind of unbalanced was one issue I was trying to solve

[true steeple]

How is it unbalanced?

[main stratus]

Because the armor in valheim primarily uses a flat damage reduction, while doubling the damage of enemies is a percent damage increase

if you double an enemies damage, it can sometimes quadruple the damage received

[true steeple]

Rare enemies being difficult doesn’t seem that unbalanced. They also drop extra items to make up for this.

[main stratus]

Yeah, sure, but translate that to the harder combat difficulty

doubling the damage on enemies wit double damage

I'll be discussing this later in the suggestions chat, thank you for the help

[rigid mirage]

hello i know this is not about the game but since this is the valheim server i wanna ask if i do stretch pay for the board game will i get all the early viking stuff for the game?

[frosty frost]

you can look here for what stuff will be in the board have so far 🙂 ----->https://gamefound.com/en/projects/mood-publishing/valheim-the-board-game

[spark sigil]

am i able to transfer characters between steam and xbox if i have previous saves/characters on xbox and im now planning to get the game on steam?

[main stratus]

Yes, you can

I transferred my saves from steam to xbox

But I believe that you need to have gamepass in order to own the windows version in order to transfer

I could be wrong though

[kind shore]

Which one will be better on max level?

[silent jackal]

came across magecaps for the first time, are the pretty abundant or should i not eat one for now

[frosty frost]

are you going for Yag?

[true steeple]

Silver sword for undead, black metal for everything else because of spirit damage, which only affects undead

[kind shore]

Yagluth boss?

[frosty frost]

yep

[kind shore]

I already beat him

[frosty frost]

Ah, then you are going to mistlands, then BM sword

[echo sparrow]

they're relatively abundant but you won't gain much from it, it's realtively weak/supplemental food and can't do a lot with the limited eitr, so unless you're just outta food and its clutch move, probably best to save to start a farm

[silent jackal]

bet

[kind shore]

Oh okey, cause I slightly skipped the silver things and I already have a BM sword on max and padded set on max level, should I do some different things or upgrades before mistland?

[silent jackal]

this is the dmg i do with mine currently with my modifiers.

[echo sparrow]

that's about as good as your gear gonna get before going into MIstlands @kind shore

[kind shore]

So am I ready?

[echo sparrow]

as ready as you're ever gonna be given your skills

[silent jackal]

make sure youve got some bomb ass food and then ya pretty much

[echo sparrow]

yeah always the highest biome calls for the top tier food you have access to

[kind shore]

👍

[silent jackal]

ive come to realize seekers really arent all that bad

decent food and a maxed out black metal shield+sword makes quick work of em tbh

[stoic trench]

Staying calm and collected is key!

[silent jackal]

especially cause they move so slow, i was just walking away from them while waiting for my stam to regen 😂\

do yall usually run the fenris set in the mistlands? or just high armor class

[frosty frost]

i play with heavy armor

[silent jackal]

if seekers are the worst of it then i could probably just run fenris

im assuming theyre not tho

[echo sparrow]

they are most definitely NOT the worst of it

[mellow lodge]

regular seekers are basically the grey dwarfs of the mistlands

and the least of your worries

[echo sparrow]

ALTHOUGH, funnily enough, Fenris would do particularly good (for an older armor) I imagine against ONE of the definite worst

[silent jackal]

ah ok

[mellow lodge]

i'm going to say the worst enemy in the mistlands is the mist heh

[silent jackal]

i figured since u have to parkour so much to get around and u probably want 2 health and 1 stam food

[echo sparrow]

LUL, in many ways, yes

[silent jackal]

so fenris would probably be great if u can dodge and parry well enough

[echo sparrow]

stamina management is the MAIN enemy of the Mistlands

[silent jackal]

im using serpent stew, lox pie and black pudding rn

[mellow lodge]

2nd worst enemy is the annoyance of finding enough soft tissue lol

[silent jackal]

soft tissue?

like an object called soft tissue or u mean like meat?

[echo sparrow]

lol, yes--doubly so if you're loath to take out the dverger (directly, yourself)

[lilac coyote]

Like an object called soft tissue.

[mellow lodge]

it's an object called soft tissue, yeah

[echo sparrow]

it's a drop/mat, you'll be famished for it

[silent jackal]

wdym

[echo sparrow]

i don't wanna spoil too much but it's one of the main Mistlands biome resources

[silent jackal]

ah

[mellow lodge]

you'll soon find yourself wanting it

[echo sparrow]

that's honestly my biggest critique of Mistlands--too easy to miss many of the POI

[silent jackal]

i finally made a bm pickaxe too, and picked up an extra 2 stacks of magic daddy wood just in case

[mellow lodge]

i need more magic daddy wood. i'm going to call it that now

[silent jackal]

ive been wandering around tryna find a tower but i started to run out of food so now im trekin back

[mellow lodge]

you mean portal back, right 🙂

[silent jackal]

trek back to my portal

[mellow lodge]

you don't got time to walk!

[silent jackal]

im using eikthyr buff rn so i just ran back to my portal on half stam

ive got like 25 portals set up in my basement 😂

[mellow lodge]

good job. keep it up

[silent jackal]

i think im missing a few things, i was supposed to be able to build the demolisher in the swamp, no?

or is that a mistlands thing

[thorn spire]

swamp.

[echo sparrow]

demolisher mistlands
iron sledge, swamp

[thorn spire]

oh, yeah.

[stoic trench]

Look for an elite draugr trophy, you’ll be able to make the sledge.

[silent jackal]

i got the seeker armor and im lookin around in my forge and workbench and not seeing any recipes that include it and i also noticed that aside from the black metal tools, i havent gotten any new weapon/tool recipes since the black forest

[thorn spire]

demolisher is mistlands. Iron sledge is swamp.

[echo sparrow]

yeah the upgraded version of the sledge ,basically

[silent jackal]

ah

ive killed like 20 draugr elites, idk how i havent gotten a trophy yet

[echo sparrow]

RNGesus can be a fickle master

those trophies particularly

[spark sigil]

cheers 🫡

[silent jackal]

and im assuming the mortar and pestle unlocks the rabbit and seeker recipes

[thorn spire]

yes, need cauldron lvl 5

[silent jackal]

forgot to plant some more wheat, guess im using wolf skewers for now lmfao

[kind shore]

These ones will have the same armor points on max level?

[echo sparrow]

yes

[frosty frost]

lox and wolf cape have the frost resistance tho 🙂

[echo sparrow]

the capes aren't particularly well balanced/are in a weird state ATM--basically after the troll cape you need for the troll set bonus, you have a series of capes identical in stats except linen is even worse due to the lack of frost res the other 2 have, then you get capes later that have actual trade offs (mistlands onwards)

[silent jackal]

there are some clothing items u can get from hildir tho that are pretty cool, although they basically give no armor. just cool effects

like reduced stam usage and whatnot while doing certain shit

[tired root]

Yeah, especially for those who haven't yet found ||Cultist trophy for Fenris hood||

[echo sparrow]

yeah they're mostly for aesthetics & base work

[quasi vault]

I personally wouldn't recommend making the troll cape ever since the deer cape can be upgraded 1 more level. 1 extra armor for the whole early game is useful to have

[echo sparrow]

100% @tired root

[silent jackal]

except if youre using a full troll set early on u get the bonus from having the cape

on the other hand, PRETTY sure troll cape is included as required for set bonus (if you care about that) for troll set--which, it shouldn't be probs, it's not consistent with the way other set bonsues work and also ties you down to one cape
but, it is that way for now

[quasi vault]

I'd take 1 more armor for dozens of hours over a slight decrease in stamina use while sneaking on a troll 3 or 4 times

[silent jackal]

its not about the reduced stam, its about literally being able to walk up to shit even without sneaking and get sneak bonus attacks

the reduced stam is nice too but the extra points in skill allowing you to sneak up on shit more easily is huge early game

[echo sparrow]

it doesn't to my knowledge make you any sneakier (the set or the sneak stat) when you AREN'T crouched actively sneaking

[silent jackal]

ah well still. idk i thought it did cause there were a couple times that i legit just walked up to a fwe mobs as they were looking at me and they didnt notice me until i started swinging

[echo sparrow]

but i could be wrong--it def gives you a a good headstart to the early sneak stat, and iirc sneak is one of the few that exponentially scales such that you really can notice a big impact from that early bonus

they can be real dumb lol

[tired root]

The troll set and cape add +15 to sneak lvl, I think it made you harder to see by enemies before until it was changed

[quasi vault]

Having at the very least 1 extra armor consistently (likely more than that) will make a huge difference over the whole early to mid game when your armor is very low. But that was just a recommendation, you play however you want

[true steeple]

Sneak skill allows the stealth bar to reduce further when sneaking in a dark place. The lower the bar is, the closer enemies have to be to see you.

[silent jackal]

i cant find any tower nearby tho

[mellow lodge]

sometimes rogues are just hanging out

[echo sparrow]

yea they just will spawn randomly in the biome i think

[quasi vault]

Keep an eye out for hugin too, if you see him standing on top of something, it is probably key to unlocking new gear

[silent jackal]

i have hugin disabled tbh

[mellow lodge]

hugin is a bro in the mistlands

[silent jackal]

i disabled him cause i had started like 7 new worlds in a matter of a week and a half cause i kept playing with different groups lol

ill enable him again

[mellow lodge]

disabling hugin/munin in biomes you're new to seems like a mistake

[quasi vault]

You don't see him this often but most of those times will be in the first few hours so I get why, but each times it's very useful information

[silent jackal]

is he talking about the magic daddy wood? or the ancient swords and whatnot, cause i can farm both of those, including the black marble

[echo sparrow]

he talkin about that big ass glowing thing you're standing on

[quasi vault]

Since you can't craft anything to make use of those roots you might want to consider stealing something from the people living in the mistlands

[silent jackal]

who needs the swamp when u got random ass pieces of old shields and shit in the mistlands

[lilac coyote]

People who haven't got to the Mistlands yet?

[silent jackal]

no shit

[lilac coyote]

You literally asked a question.

[echo sparrow]

it's probably still more/most time-efficient if you're grinding SPECIFICALLY iron and need a lot, to go back to swamp crypts, but the mistlands do provide plenty of the metal on site, VERY convenient to build a few odds & ends you might need without having to take a long boattrip (like, critically, especially once you have access to stone portals, the stonecutter)

[quasi vault]

That iron comes in very handy especially for first timers who do not come in prepared and get a bad news at one point.

[silent jackal]

there were more of them down there than i expected, i thought there was like 2 or 3 but apparently they were all clipped inside of each other, there were like 7 of them lmfao... now im wondering how ima get this back without dying

killed all but one before i kicked the bucket

[quasi vault]

You will be fine

[silent jackal]

ye they dont do as much dmg as i thought, i was able to tank a hit while equipping my sword and shield

seeker soldiers arent that bad either, at least one at a time. pretty sure if there were like 3 at a time itd be rough

[tired root]

When Mistlands came out as PTB version, the first mob I encountered when I entered the new biome was 1 star Soldier. After that I encountered my first Gjall. Was quite welcoming entrance.

Now yesterday I encounterd two 2 star Soldiers in quite a short time (not at same time tho).

Hi all, is this the right place to ask something regarding mods(for instance Epicloot)?

[thick nexus]

Will I have to make a new map for my server with the witch big update coming? Considering majority of our map has been revealed from our mod.

also how does updating valheim plus work with the updates?
So as example, our chest and our inventory have much bigger slots, how will this be affected?

This will be my first time transitioning on a server to a brand new update, would appreciate some help 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Mods will definitely break, especially that one, please don't use V+. If you've actually explored the map then new content won't spawn there, if you've just revealed it (as you would with dev commands) then you should be OK.

[thick nexus]

Are you saying don’t use V+ in general or turn it off when the update comes along? Only mod we use, and i added it for the extra modifiers and stuff.

And okay, so my map reveal radius is large, so the map reveals, but it should be and stuff should spawn if we haven’t gone into them areas yet then?

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, you should be OK. ( #mods-discussion for questions about the mods though)

[pastel meadow]

Hello everyone, how can I give my friend in the local world the ability to use console cheats?

[true steeple]

Only the host can use cheat commands

[thick nexus]

Okay thanks! I appreciate the help 🙂

[pastel meadow]

Is there mods that can help us?

[true steeple]

You could ask in #mods-discussion, I don’t use mods

[pastel meadow]

K, ty
