[tired root]

They spawn usually in groups of 2 or 3

[subtle parrot]

I have parry blocked one of their bites with full iron armor and a level 4 finewood bow one time on accident, I think it took like 50hp and knocked me back pretty far down a hill and took a bit more damage from the drop, so you should be fine with at least swamp tier food if you're good at parrying. Otherwise I suggest dodge rolling.

[severe wyvern]

You can dodge roll?????

[true steeple]

Block and jump to roll (or block + B on controller), which grants invincibility from most damage (as far as I’m aware, it works for everything except logs)
If using a bow, you can start charging a shot while rolling.

[severe wyvern]

oh damn, never knew.

[true steeple]

I knew how to do it very early on, but didn’t know it granted invincibility for a while. It should show you how in the corner of your screen when holding a weapon.

[severe wyvern]

i was never a blocker as you can see from my skill lvl. Maybe i should improve that

[true steeple]

Don’t worry about it too much. I often don’t block either because I jump when possible to avoid damage.

Jumping is better than rolling if a hitbox is short enough to jump over

[tired root]

Well, better later than never

[severe wyvern]

Same, but sometimes that still kills me, when i was in the early game i tried jumping over the trolls log when they swung at me. Never worked xd

[true steeple]

That’s when you’re supposed to roll

[tired root]

My friend didn't know for a long time there was a sprint button, always wondered how the others were faster.

[severe wyvern]

well i just found out that you can do it. maybe they should put those into keybinds because theres no mention of dodging

[severe wyvern]

thats funny aswell

[true steeple]

Dodging doesn’t have its own keybind, it uses a combination of others. As I said earlier, it shows in the corner of the screen where you’re also shown the buttons to attack with.

[severe wyvern]

yea i know. But still that it isnt mentioned is weird

[orchid iron]

Is it worth making Dead Raiser as a warrior type ? maybe some bodies to distract enemies could be useful ?

[tired root]

You need 2 eitr foods to have enough to raise a skeleton. @orchid iron

[true steeple]

Two eitr and one stamina should be ok for melee, if you also have a staff of protection

[frosty frost]

• you pretty much need the buble shield for them since otherwise they are pretty weak

[orchid iron]

oh, lol I thought only health

didn't see you needed Eitr as well

[tired root]

Every staves need eitr to cast, blood magic staves also drains hp

[true steeple]

You don’t need any health food if you have the staff of protection so you can swap your health food for eitr

[silent jackal]

so i invited a few ppl to my world last night and left my world open so ppl could play while i was away, and then i wake up to this message

anyone know if theres logs i can review or something that will show who's doing what?

[hollow oxide]

there is a pig farm design on Youtube. A friend just added and extra roof and walls around the outside to protect from bats.

I just made sure I had no gaps for mine. add a tame wolf in there if you want a guard that can move around

[hollow oxide]

Trees that are chopped and leave stumps cause lag you have to chomp the stumps or add a mod that removes them for you and gives the 2 wood .

Sadly sounds like folks went on a clearcutting spree.

My goodness I need coffee Sry that was a lot of typos

[silent jackal]

i also found this shit, whoever did it made like a 10m diameter house out of raised ground

shit made me laggy af and i have a good computer

[true steeple]

Why do you have a shield but no 1h weapon to use it with?

[hollow oxide]

Sadly when you make it open server you get all kinds. You may want to have a set of rules or something for things you don't want people to do. But ideally vetting people before you allow them on to your server is more ideal

[silent jackal]

ye im realizing that now, figurd everyone from this community was fine for the most part but ig not

[hollow oxide]

Sometimes it's also a case of I didn't know that wasn't okay because honestly that type of building is safe from attacks. It just doesn't look nice

[silent jackal]

from back when i was using a wooden club, i just never unequipped it lol

[true steeple]

Leaving any game open to the public very rarely ends well, this community is no different to any other

[hollow oxide]

Perhaps you could go post something in looking for group that way you could get more of the type of people you want on your server and cap it at you know 10 to 20 or whatever you want to do.

[silent jackal]

i did, there were only 4 ppl that i personally sent the join codes to

[drifting oxide]

hey how can i get the stag breaker ?

has it been deleted ?

[true steeple]

Have you collected core wood yet?

[drifting oxide]

the one you get from birch ?

[true steeple]

No, from pine trees

[drifting oxide]

in the dark forest ?

[true steeple]

Pine trees from black forests.

[drifting oxide]

ok thx, i litteraly struggled to get the 3 upgrade for the forge and crafting table with bronze and copper

i'll go get them

[true steeple]

It’ll also unlock the finewood bow

[drifting oxide]

nice

thx for the help

i will remove the spawners from existence now

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion

[drifting oxide]

yay i got it

[orchid iron]

do mobs attack tree saplings like they do when you plant vegetables/fruits ?

[frosty frost]

i dont think they do 🤔 but i never tested it

[stoic trench]

I’ve never had them target saplings personally

[frail cave]

i don't think they do, no playthrough's ever given me reason to believe it, but i haven't tested it either

[glossy cave]

Hello, very good, does anyone know or remember how to use the Windows icons to use them on the Valheim map?

[compact crypt]

Hi there! Just took my first charred fortress (by building a stair up to the walls). Now, I want to enter the stronghold, but I've broken two black metal pickaxes and the spiked door still resists... I feel I'm doing something wrong here. I have also tried with a battering ram, with no success. I noticed when I hit the door it says a damage around 30/50 but also a "too hard" label. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

[stoic trench]

You can use your pickaxe to break the corner of the interior tower

Battering ram should be able to break down that interior door 🤔

You put fuel into your battering ram?

[compact crypt]

Mmh.. I haven't put any fuel actually

[stoic trench]

Put some fuel into the back of the ram, then those arms will deal some crazy damage to the walls 😁

[compact crypt]

oooh, NOW it seems to work!

Thanks so much mate 🙂

[stoic trench]

You’re welcome!

[sweet comet]

does anyone know why Valheim now costs money on game pass? and does anyone know if my worlds will stay if i redownload it?
very frustrating going to play and not being able to lol

[stoic trench]

I think their contract expired or something? Game is off game pass now

[sweet comet]

that makes sense… would my worlds still be there? i’m assuming they would but i’d like to be sure before i spend money haha

[stoic trench]

Oooh that’s a good question, I want to say yes?

Pretty confident they will be, but might want to see if someone with more experience gives confirmation

[true steeple]

Your saves will still be there if you played on gamepass and then buy it on xbox.

[sweet comet]

beautiful, thank you guys very much!!! 🙂

[hearty fog]

any tips for fighting charred warriors in mele? i still have trouple with them

really hard to tell if they are delay attacking or not

[tired root]

Clubs. Knockback is insane against them.

[true steeple]

I use a feather cape to jump over their attacks and hit them with a secondary on the way down if they’re starred. Unstarred are weak enough to parry, and you can parry twice so it doesn’t matter if they’re using a delayed attack or not.

[hearty fog]

ok so just parry twice just in case

[true steeple]

It’s possible to tell if they’re doing a delayed attack or not because the delayed attacks have slightly different sounds, but it’s best to dodge in a way that avoids both possible attacks because it can be unreliable.

After some practice I could somewhat consistently predict it but I still find it best to expect both attacks.

[hearty fog]

makes sense

i will just have to take the time to observe one for a few minutes to get it down

[grizzled mural]

if i dont kill the boars at boar runestones will they reset and have a chance for 2 star or is it just whats there is what you get?

[tired root]

Boars at the runestones spawn only once

[frail cave]

like almost all spawners in the game, boar runestones and abandoned villages never respawn their boars, though randomly spawned boars can continue to spawn there like anywhere else in meadows as long as the chunk's boar limit isn't hit.
so generally when looking for stared animals, you should kill all starless animals you come across, but in the case of boars, that's not gonna help if you're within 800 meters of the world's center

[grizzled mural]

sounds good thanks for letting me know

[spark flower]

I would love to get a 1 or 2 star boar, is there any special spawn conditions for them?

[grizzled mural]

do 2 stars only spawn 800m away from spawn?

[tired root]

Basically 1% chance them to spawn

[frail cave]

they're normally unable to spawn within 800 meters of the center, but boar runestone and abandoned village spawners ignore this restriction

[molten mountain]

is there a way to measure distance from spawn without mods, commands or placing a couple thousand beams? 🤔

[frail cave]

not super reliably since even the sacrificial stones aren't always in the exact center 😅
there is a somewhat consistent pattern that shows the 600 meter circle around the center - the sunflower-shaped meadows patch in the center.
you'll only notice this shape if it sufficiently overlaps with black forest, otherwise it can be near impossible to tell where it is

if you can make out that meadows patch, then it's just a bit of guessing from there~

[grizzled mural]

finally found 2 1 star boar started taming, i was sitting on my roof to be near them and away from enemies, i go to eat come back. the pig is gone and im sitting in the pen where it was. next boar runestone is like a 20 minute plus walk away fml

maybe it was a good thing i lost that 1 star XDDD

if i breed a 1 star and a 2 star can they breed 2 star babies or do they both need to be 2 star?

[true steeple]

Babies inherit stars from a random parent. You only need one two star parent.

[buoyant peak]

#mods-issues

[grizzled mural]

awesome thanks!

[grizzled mural]

boars have nothing to do with mods tho?

[buoyant peak]

Who knows? It's mods, they're unpredictable. It might or might not affect the game on any number of ways

[grizzled mural]

ahhhhh

also im 1 lucky mf rn holy

[hearty fog]

lets say i have a wolf pen next to a frost cave, can i go inside the cave and they still breed?

or is that not how that works?

[true steeple]

The area below the dungeon is loaded when you’re inside, they should be able to breed but I haven’t tried.

[hearty fog]

ill test for you and let you know

does that also mean raids could still happen even when im in the cave if there are more than 3 base structures?

[lilac coyote]

Raids don't trigger when the player is in a dungeon.

[true steeple]

Raids need structures to be within 40 metres, dungeons are much higher than that

[hearty fog]

they did in fact continue breeding

[subtle parrot]

[grizzled mural]

last message in the mod chat was at 12, this is the only active chat. does anyone know how to use this shit?? https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Meldurson/AllTameableTamingOverhaul/

[lilac coyote]

Probably the guys in #mods-discussion but it's late right now.

[grizzled mural]

does building a roof over my boiar breeder stop them from breeding or am i ok??

[tired root]

It should be fine.

[grizzled mural]

ok

[halcyon crag]

just be generous with the roof height, loxes for example have the eye level of trolls so low roofs can prevent them breeding (since they can't see the food), but boars aren't too bad

[grizzled mural]

yeah i just have a boar farm right now, they seem pretty slow with breeding so i cannot tell if the roof is effecting it

[halcyon crag]

if they are eating it's fine, most likely issue then is distance, they need to be close together to get love points and produce offspring

also there can only be a certain number before they will stop breeding again, so having a way to get the young ones away from the breeding pair is preferable (most player use height for this and have the offspring drop into a separate pen)

[grizzled mural]

ok

[halcyon crag]

the breeding sphere's (invisible) are 10m for boars wolves and chickens, 12m for lox, so they need to be quite high up for the offspring not to interfere

[grizzled mural]

yeah the offspring isnt close they are about 13ish meters below the breeding pair

[halcyon crag]

sounds like you have them well set, breeders are very finicky though and getting them to face the right way and see the food can be problematic

also mods can cause unexpected results

[grizzled mural]

the only animal mod i have is one to allow boars to follow you like wolves

[halcyon crag]

if everything else i said checks out, try it without the mods

[grizzled mural]

seems to be working like a charm

[halcyon crag]

so they are eating and producing then?

[grizzled mural]

yup

[halcyon crag]

you should get a baby piggy every 2 mins or so

[grizzled mural]

10 in the bottom

[halcyon crag]

sweet

[grizzled mural]

not the greatest builder but i think it looks aight

[weak temple]

Does anyone know about the combat tech where if you do a secondary attack with a sword and dodge roll at the same time, the roll cancels the attack but you hit the attack and instantly roll all while having i-frames? It seems they patched this recently. Now, the roll comes out first, and the attack second, but the attack no longer has the i-frames. Did they really patch this? Is my timing off? Is there anything similar to it on the current version?

[tropic granite]

No, it was a unique technique for swords, it just doesn't work as before since Ashlands

[faint shale]

valheim lagging on startup?

[flat rose]

Hello, I need help

I have been struggling for the past hour to get my items back from the swamp

Here's the problem

So there's a big lake that cuts the swamp in two. I used my new longship to go across it, and was looting sunken crypts for more iron. While inside, my pickaxe broke, and I went to my ship to try and fix it, only to find that my ship had been destroyed somehow and I got eaten by some kind of giant tree monster

Even with my best stamina food I can't get across the lake, and I can't really go around. Leeches will destroy any emergency rafts I make, and I don't have the resources to keep making them. I was trying to move my portal before, so I don't have it anymore, and therefore need to make an extremely long journey to get back and forth to the swamp

I was thinking about rebuilding my old Karve and trying to sail around, get my items, and then rebuild the portal and get home

But I'm still worried that I will die again and then be basically soft-locked

Is there a way for me to reload my save file from earlier today, before I got myself into this mess?

Never mind, I figured it out.

[harsh meteor]

do mobs take fall damage?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[copper raven]

dark theme... for _shudnal.ConfigurationManager.cfg ... has anybody ever made one? The default one is too bright, but if i try to darken it I will probably make it worse.

[copper raven]

hahahhahahah
yeah.
locate a sirtling flame, and coax them onto it, then run circles right under their feet for a few seconds. Abomination gear ftw

[lunar ore]

Is there any code that would locate the merchant? I spent my hours and traveled half of the map but it hasn't showed up

[frail cave]

find Vendor_BlackForest 10 should mark all 10 possible haldor locations
(ID might not be correct, i'll double check)
(edit: it is correct)

[willow raft]

@lunar ore You could also use a worldviewer and look for it like that.
Check your seed and put it into the right box, here: https://valheim-map.world/

[haughty shard]

to avoid spoil you can just check "Traders" on the filters list

[lunar ore]

It worked without typing 10

[frail cave]

the 10 adds markers to your map (a maximum of 10, and there are only 10 locations), without the number, it only pings the nearest one once.
(those markers stay either until you use find again or until you leave the world)

[small nest]

hey mates, which moder is better for me and my friend to get to? (modera = moder)

[willow raft]

Probably the right one, there are also some other points of interest nearby and it is a shorter distance compared to the left one.

[small nest]

thank you so much, also, could there be mistlands?

[frail cave]

both of them are well into the area that can have mistlands

i'd say if the chosen one turns out to look like too dangerous of a journey, give the other one a shot first~

[halcyon crag]

she does have 1 other possible location that might be easier to reach as well

[real nebula]

Looking at the map, mountains around haldor or hildir's might be worth exploring for the third altar location

Although with how spread apart those two altars already are, depending on the vegvisir location, the third might very well be also shoved around Mistlands in the border

[sweet crescent]

Were getting scythes next update right?
Will we be able to use them as sub par weapons like the pickaxe or will they JUST be for farming?

[frosty frost]

That we will have to wait and see 🙂

[tired root]

I suspect it will work like Butcher knife (which hurts only tamed animals) but that it hits only crops and nothing else. But like said, we will see then.

[sweet crescent]

God i hope it isnt, id love to butcher a greydwarf with a scythe

[lilac coyote]

It's a tool like any other, as a weapon would be weird.

[tired root]

It was mentioned as a tool, so probably not for combat purposes.

But it remains to be seen when the patch drops.

[true steeple]

Pickaxes are tools that deal damage

[frosty frost]

Thats what i personally think it will be like 🙂 but then again i can absolutely be wrong so we will have to wait and see

[severe plover]

Is there a way to increase how much weight i can carry?

[kind shore]

yes

[frosty frost]

Yes, you can find a trader in black forest that sells you a thing that does that 🙂

[true steeple]

There’s also a forsaken power to increase it, but it’s from the current final boss.

[echo sparrow]

hopefully ||bog witch|| will add a mead that does too

[lilac coyote]

I wouldn't have thought so.

[true steeple]

If it does, that mead would need some kind of negative effect (in a previous conversation I suggested that it could reduce armor).

Otherwise it’s just making the game easier

[echo sparrow]

I'd be fine with that trade off

[buoyant peak]

Meads with both positive and negative effects do sound intriguing.

Similar to tasty mead

[echo sparrow]

a mead that synergizes with blood weapons by deliberately weakening the health regen for some other balanced buff, maybe a small total physical damage output to continue the syngergy or something

[junior sigil]

Is't one part of Skoll and Hati already a scythe, basically?

[true steeple]

I’d say it’s a sickle

[junior sigil]

Looked up just to see the main differences, and learn that a sickle is one-handed and a scythe two-handed. I wonder if it will be in-game.

Not that it will matter if it can't be used as a weapon.

[lilac coyote]

If what will be in-game, the scythe? Yes, that was promised.

[junior sigil]

Context... I wonder if it will be two-handed in game.

[lilac coyote]

I'd imagine so, yes.

[frosty frost]

Since scythes were historicaly only 2 handed i would say they will be like that in the game also

[severe plover]

What should i look out for? i've been looking around for a bit and can't find the trader

[frosty frost]

(well, historically, i still used one when i was a bit younger xD)

[frosty frost]

basically just travel through black forest thats not too close to spawn, or you can sail around the islands that you can see black forest on, if you already discovered second boss you can try looking around it, they can be close to each other somewhat often 🙂

[junior sigil]

And when you get close enough, the bag-of-gold icon will appear on your map.

[sweet crescent]

do i need the mistlands cauldron upgrade for fish n bread?

[bright reef]

is there any trick to get my cart into the boat?

feels like it can fit but im worried about getting it out and falling off during sea rides

[real nebula]

correct, you need a 5* cauldron to prepare it, which you get at the earliest with Mistlands materials

[sweet crescent]

Is there a polearm for the ashlands?

[echo sparrow]

regretably no

but, I would hope it means we will get one in the final biome, which honestly is fine with me

[sweet crescent]

God i hate it how there isnt a weapon of each type for each biome

[echo sparrow]

would be too generic imo

[frail cave]

himmin afl is still pretty great in ashlands, lightning is the perfect elemental damage type for an atgeir

(and an iolite atgeir wouldn't have had that much lightning damage)

[proud panther]

how do i make a greydwarf punishment chamber

[compact heath]

Dig under a greydwarf spawner, tame some wolves and stick them in the hole, that work for you?

[tropic oxide]

I rolled this seed, you think it's a good one?

[frosty frost]

I would say Its nice 😄 only Elder Is a bit further than i would like but compared to some seeds i saw... Nice

[copper raven]

how much iron is there? i cant tell how phat the swamps are..they look beefy enough, but are there several dozen crypts relatively close to spawn 0

[kind shore]

How can I destroy this doors?

[frosty frost]

Battering ram

And for that you need flametal

[kind shore]

Like that?

[frosty frost]

Yep, and fuel it from the back 🙂

[sharp hull]

Is there a channel dedicated for the fandom wiki?

[frosty frost]

Yes but it is private, what do you need?

[sharp hull]

I made a bigger change to the shield-generator page, should I trust that somebody is looking over it? I am a bit unsure about the Haldor/Hildir part, since the "shimmering domes" are not referred as shields

[lilac coyote]

I wasn't aware it was wrong.

[frosty frost]

i personally dont think its necessary to mention Haldors and Hildirs shield, otherwise i think its pretty good 🙂

[frosty frost]

They added a bit of text mentioning the merging of the shields while close to each other and pictures of it 🙂

[sharp hull]

Yes, there was nothing wrong with it, but this is useful information, since a lot of bases exeed a normal shield size 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Hm, but Haldor and Hildir's shield isn't generated in the same way.

[sharp hull]

Exactly

[lilac coyote]

So don't need mentioning.

[sharp hull]

Okay, then I'll remove it again

[lilac coyote]

I knew I'd be fixing a lot of pages this week, but I figured they'd be PTB stuff.

[sharp hull]

Thank you for your feedback 👍

[lilac coyote]

Please don't let this put you off editing pages in the future.

[sharp hull]

Of course not 🙂

i have a night-wolf trapped. dont have any meat. am i going tobe able to leave it for ~2 minutes after 18:00 to get some?

[idle kernel]

Would someone please kindly point me towards how to create backups for my dedicated server that I've been hosting through GTXgaming? I'm pretty technologically inept, is there a guide located somewhere for this particular site, or would someone be able to walk me through the process? Thanks

[copper raven]

i just tar.gz the entire user tree.

doing it from my regualr account, to backup the /home/steam tree loks like:

backupDir=/home/user/documents/settings/GAMES/Valheim
sudo tar --verbose --create --auto-compress --directory="/home/steam/valheim" . --file "${backupDir}/${stamp}/${stamp}_home-steam-valheim.tar.gz"```

[copper raven]

but you probably mean how to do it on a windows system.... in which case i dont know, but similar with winzip i guess

On top of that, you can make manual backups and restorations whenever you want and even download them to your PC.
https://www.gtxgaming.co.uk/valheim-server-hosting/

[frail cave]

don't think so

[copper raven]

i did,, its still here.. taming intensifies

[real nebula]

If it's already eaten something, it won't despawn

Otherwise, it would despawn at dawn

[frail cave]

oh wait, i confused night with day

[copper raven]

and i realisd too late, rather than kill the two zero star wolves in the hole with the one 2 star wolf, to reduce meat required, i should have hoped for a breeding while they converted, that way i might even get another two star out of it, and have two

[real nebula]

Oh yeah, only one of the parents need to be starred for the kids to have a chance to be starred as well~

[copper raven]

does it help if i periodically shout REPENT at them?

[frail cave]

and the meat requirement's not that bad, about 4 food per animal if you're consistently quietly sitting by it

[copper raven]

i see, i have done this before but they always got agro'd by g-dwarves, so i wasnt sure what a larger 2star would eat, or how long i might be here.. its been calm though

lol, its so far from the base i want it to be at though - i guess i nmeed another anyhting-star wolf right here and build a proper base... i do own the entire mountain so its probably time for that

[frail cave]

(to be more specific: food keeps an animal fed for 10 minutes, and taming takes a total of 30 minutes of it being fed, loaded in and calm at the same time. it's almost inevitable that the animal will be alert for at least some time during the process, or that the player sleeps, or that they have to briefly leave the area, so i add a 4th piece of food to my estimate just to be safe.)

[copper raven]

noted.. i have 40 boar meat :}

oh great, fenris

loll, its going for the golem i have stuck in a hole nearby. best investment ever. Put it in there to decoy any strays that might sneak up on me while i killed moder, and just left it there... along with the other two i have elsewher eon this mountain, it draws everyhting. No wonder 2star-in-a-hole is so calm

[quasi silo]

Do i have to make a backup if I don't use my old worlds? (gonna check out the test branch of the next update which just dropped)

Hey all. When the new Valheim update goes live ||with the new bog witch NPC etc||, will the new items be part of the world I currently play on? Or will I have to start an entire new world?

[olive island]

oh I have PLENTY unexplored. Thats brilliant to know, thank you so much!

[pale comet]

I need help to access the latest Valheim update.. Do i need to make a back up first? or do i just type "Imadebackups" Steam valheim properties?

you only need to do the latter, but we highly recommend doing the former as well

[pale comet]

Ty my hugin sir

but how do i make backups?

[frail cave]

the white little button in the lower left of the main menu takes you straight to your saves folder, you can just copy the relevant saves to any place on your PC you want.
if the save is a cloud save, it might not be accurate? i can't remember how that works, i keep all of my saves local but that's not very safe if my hardware fails 😅

[pale comet]

I’m playing valheim on PC (game preview) xbox.

When I load up valheim on xbox I see the new PTB update, but when I load it on my PC using the xbox app I don’t see the PTB update.

Should I update it on my console and go find the trader then transfer it or should I just wait for the update for my PC xbox app to update it?

[half anvil]

oh alright

[lusty light]

For some reason my cloud corruped and lost a lot of progress, apparently it saved on my local. Is there a way to switch to local instead of cloud storage?

[echo sparrow]

setting in game IIRC

in the menus before loading up a world

[lusty light]

Yea it seems i lost alot of progress for some reason

Steam asked me if i wanted local or cloud so i think i need to look there

[echo sparrow]

that's only happened to me like once, but yeah it's very annoying but i do think it was related to cloud save, or at least it's been a long time since i had the issue

[lusty light]

Well these things happen

Is there a way to enable creative mode to give some items back?

[true steeple]

Use the spawn command to spawn items directly, and nocost for free crafting

[real nebula]

There's instructions to enable the console, as well as all the commands that you'll need, in the pins of this channel

[lusty light]

Aight thx 🫡

Does anyone know how to make Valheim run at more than 60fps or at least use 100% of my GPU? I have a Ryzen 5 5600x + 16gb RAM +3080ti AND THE GAME RUNS BETWEEN 25 TO 30FPS AND ONLY USES 30% OF THE GPU :,C

[true steeple]

You could try this? https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/n91kf2/increase_you_fps_by_over_20_for_me_at_least_with/

[tall pecan]

I'll try it now

[half anvil]

does PC xbox app for valheim update different times than Valheim on xbox? the reason im asking is cause I've played on both that way I can play on the same save

[real nebula]

Updates have had simultaneous releases for a while, it should have updated at the same time

[half anvil]

anything I can do to check it? I don’t see the update for it

[real nebula]

check the version number in the menu screen?

[half anvil]

it says 0.218.22.0 and it doesn’t show the recent patches and I am on PTB

[real nebula]

0.219.10 is PTB, you're probably still on live branch, double check that you're opted in

[half anvil]

thanks

[real nebula]

probably want to check in #valheim-public-test for anything else for the PTB

[half anvil]

thanks for all your help but now the download wont start lol Any idea what to do? XD

it says 4gbs and wont start so odd

got it nvm have a good day!

[royal python]

Does anyone know how to copy worlds on Mac? Trying to make a copy of my world to play the PTB (on Mac and GFN)

[lusty light]

`Why cant i build higher?

[arctic pollen]

Hi! I think you might need stronger materials at the base for a stronger foundation, which will allow you to go for taller builds! For example, if you use a few pieces of reinforced (iron) instead of pure wood it might work!

[lusty light]

I have core wood as a base

[real nebula]

Core wood will only carry you so far, ironwood and stone will improve that

[lusty light]

😦

[winged belfry]

my game dont save my boat, idk why, but every time i make a boat (Karva one or something like that) and i save the game having it in my world or being in it, and i load this save, thr boat just dissappears, my character is now in the middle of the ocean having no chance of going to land or surviving that, help

[stoic trench]

Reminder on where Valheim worlds are saved?

[echo garden]

I haven't played this game since the mistlands update. Has it become less annoying since release?

[half anvil]

anyway to recover a save? I lost a whole month of saves between now and august.

[forest viper]

Highly recommend landing on shore before logging out.
If you don't want to drown and lose skill points, enable dev commands to fly back.

[echo sparrow]

that IS odd though--like it's definitely SUPPOSED to leave your boat where you left it (unless of course it's a server and someone else comes along and moves it or loads the area and causes it to be broken by like enemies or the like) and I've never encountered that issue before

[halcyon crag]

if you really don't want to use commands the options are pretty limited, you'd need to log into another world, stock up on meads and food and wait for yr stam to regen and rinse repeat to reach land again

[halcyon crag]

local or cloud save?

shouldn't matter much, if you check the in game saves yr save should be there

unless you had a hard disk fail and it was saved locally

[winged belfry]

is there a way to use commands in xbox?

[halcyon crag]

RB + LB + RT + LT + menu button
Once you have the console commands open in Valheim for Xbox, press A to bring up your Xbox keyboard. To start using cheats and console commands in Valheim, you will need to type "devcommands". With this enabled, you can start using cheats and console commands for Valheim on Xbox!

[winged belfry]

its the second time it happened, first time it was in my base when i logged out, when i logged in the boat had just disappered, so i made another one and i went to ocean cuz i wanted to get the abyssal spear to kill the sea snake, then i had to log out to do somethings in rl and when i came back, i was in the middle of ocean without my loved boat 😦

[echo sparrow]

that's the console or PC, mods?

[winged belfry]

does the commands have any effects in the game? like in minecraft that it disables trophies?

[halcyon crag]

no clue on that aspect i'm afraid, i'm a PC player

[winged belfry]

Okay, thank you sir

[true steeple]

Using commands has no permanent effect like this

[halcyon crag]

although we don't have achievements implemented yet so i can't see it being an issue until 1.0 at least

[scarlet girder]

Would really like some tip to where should be my main base. Started the game this week. I like the game, except for the super long walks. A base that makes not need that much walking (at least the max as possible) would be the best. Any experienced player can tell me something here?

[halcyon crag]

meadows near the coast would be optimal for now, until you reach later biomes then you may want to move or make a second base in the plains

[echo sparrow]

yeah there's not REALLY a super big imperative to build outside meadows until you have the crops from the plains (then plains makes sense because you can grow the earlier crops and plains crops all one place)--until then meadows is both the safest overall I'd argue and also the best or at least good enough for all crops you'll have

[halcyon crag]

maybe nearby a forest for less walking while transporting ore as well

[winged belfry]

I would make my base in the meadows near the black forest so i dont need to do long walks to get copper

[echo sparrow]

even then, doesn't really matter because portals and crops will update to reflect growth when you're away

yeah the early non-portal posisble metal runs, about the only relevant concern

besides aesthetics/the view of course--but like, bare mechanics, just mostly the walk to nearby metals, a swamp wouldn't hurt either if it's available

[halcyon crag]

it's higher risk however since tougher enemies reside in the forest, be sure you can handle them before putting a base too close

just south of spawn looks lovely (for coastal access)

for good walking distance of the forest, the west coast of yr day 9 marker looks good too

[half anvil]

i'll just have to spawn in the items. Where can I learn to do that

[halcyon crag]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console 👍

[raven pike]

Is that fixed in some way? Zones borders

[true steeple]

No fix yet

[lilac coyote]

Well, it only affects old worlds so it's not really broken.

[royal python]

anyone know the command to reveal hildirs location?

[lilac coyote]

Find.

[raven pike]

New world also have these problems, most often in the plains

It's not a broken, it's a visual bug at the junction of the two zones. It started appearing after the Ashlands update, when devs added lava paint for terrain

[raven pike]

find Hildir_camp

[dark cargo]

will the bog witch spawn on current seeds? mine is a new ashlands seed btw.

[frosty frost]

Yes, but only in unexplored swamps

[dark cargo]

And is that with the public test or is the update official?

[tired root]

Currently Public test and around few weeks after it gets the official release.

[spring frigate]

oh wait i forgot my actual question, how do i prevent mosquito from spawning?

[true steeple]

||You need to unlock most items but I don’t know how. Also, #valheim-public-test
If you don’t have access, go to channels and roles at the top of the channel list and enable the public test channels.||

[pseudo kraken]

usually placing items like campfires or crafting benches prevents mob spawns in that area but I dont think that applies for flying mobs

best way is root harnesk

[true steeple]

It works the same way

[pseudo kraken]

oh rly? i didnt work for drakes for me

the little dragons whatever they called

[true steeple]

I think it does, at least. I haven’t tested it much

[pseudo kraken]

i put fires all around my mountains base and i was constatnly attacked by them but no wolves

but i read somewhere it doesnt work for them but idk where

[lilac coyote]

Probably a question for #valheim-public-test

[reef pecan]

I figured it out thank you!

[winged belfry]

i need to spawn a karve boat, but when i type "Spawn karve 1" or "spawn karve" i get the message "Spawn is not valid in the current context"

[subtle parrot]

You need to activate devcommands first

[winged belfry]

i forgot, srry

it worked, thx

[weak temple]

Anyone have an easy way of getting leather scraps? (I don't have tamed boars)

[graceful hedge]

Just keep killing wild ones.

[fervent ravine]

want any help capturing and taming wild ones?

[frosty frost]

That might be because the spawn prevention zone Is not a column but a sphere, so it doesent extend all the way up in the sky and mobs that spawn in the air have bigger gaps to spawn in compared to the normal ground mobs 🙂

[raven pike]

With mods only

[frosty frost]

No? You can use player base structures just as for any creature spawns.

[raven pike]

If you need to prevent spawn near the base then yes, a 20 metre sphere. But if you want to remove completely spawn mosquitoes, from all plains, then only by mods.

[zinc lintel]

hello all. i haven't played for a long time but i have a issue. im removed all the trees and stumps in one area im prepering for a fortress but trees start growing with out planting them and some of them even grow throw the foundations of buildings as well. any way to prevent this?
before you ask, i use mods but not any mod that would let the nature regen it self

[frosty frost]

Try to disable the mods anyway, they often break the game in totaly unexpected ways that have nothing to to with Its original purpose 🙂

[zinc lintel]

will do that...try at least...the last build i did was a manor, a year ago and when i started today i saw 4 trees growing throw the building it self 🤣

[zinc lintel]

nope...doesn't work...i deleted all mods...bring one by one on to see if anything changes

[idle kernel]

how do i make backups in order to play on the PTB? I want to start a solo adventure, do I need to make backups of the dedicated server I own as well even if I pause the server until the update goes live?

[willow raft]

#valheim-help message

[zinc lintel]

just came back....i have unistalled all the mods...there is no issue at present....will let you know wich one is a problem for others with the same issue to avoid

i had one more platform i completlly forgot abut

manlly using r2modman but i had one more maybe that was it

[tepid mortar]

Can the witch only spawn on a not rendered area?

[reef ibex]

Will the new bog witch spawn on my old worlds when the update comes out ?

or will I have to make a new worrld

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[reef ibex]

so if i start a new world now whenever the update happens all content will be there ?

thanks

[frosty frost]

in a non explored area, yes

[hexed granite]

Hey 🙂
does anyone know how to copy world from PC to GFN?

Its done, thx for quickly answer 🙂

[grizzled mural]

i havent beaten yagluth yet so im trying to hunt birds for feathers, is there better areas for bird hunting or are they just scattered?

[true steeple]

What do you need the feathers for before yagluth? He's resistant to pierce, and even with elemental arrows you do too much pierce so they're not worth it.

[grizzled mural]

i need arrows in general right now plus for upgrades

[true steeple]

I think meadows and plains are best for feathers

[grizzled mural]

ok

[echo sparrow]

@grizzled mural I would also recommend making wood arrows even late into the game as they only require 8 wood, no feathers, for 20, and keeping your bow appropriately upgraded for progression will still mean you're hitting for a good chunk of the same damage with the weakest arrows--save the good arrows for fights that matter, use the cheap arrows for everything else, hunting deer, shooting greydwarves, etc.

[lunar ore]

How to catch high level fishes, they don't take the bait even I use crafted baits

[willow raft]

Patience, they do take it but often times they are more cautious then their smaller brothers and sisters.
So you need to first get the small ones caught and then go for the big ones, don't move the lure when they are approaching either.

[lunar ore]

Does my fishing level effect the baits

[subtle parrot]

It affects the amount of stamina needed for reeling in

[lunar ore]

Ah okay, thank you guys

[willow raft]

Not at all, only how many stamina you use for reeling in.
Tip is to not reel in but walk backwards dragging the fish onto land.

[open bobcat]

i havnt logged on the game in a few months. today i tried and my game wont stop spinning and shaking. anyone else xping the same thing?

[subtle parrot]

If it's loading, let it load. Not sure what you mean by spinning and shaking though

[severe plover]

Found this thing, don't know what it does

[subtle parrot]

You put ancient seeds in it to spawn the second boss

[true steeple]

There should be a runestone you can use to add this place to your map

[gritty zephyr]

Can you take pets into the new portal ?

[lilac coyote]

Nope.

[white heron]

Why the witch doesn't want to sell me spices for new food?

[steep tusk]

[opaque barn]

Is there any chance for a witch to appear in the world I made a week ago or do I need to create a new world?

[true steeple]

New content generates in unexplored areas

[grizzled urchin]

that should be pinned somewhere (if it isn't already)

[lilac coyote]

Probably thousands.

[buoyant peak]

It would help very little.

Even if the msg appeared automatically every five seconds or in your face after posting the question

Internet illiteracy

[lilac coyote]

Lol.

[sudden relic]

Is it possible to prevent Seekers from spawning in Meadows etc on a Multiplayer server? They killing the noobs

[lilac coyote]

Usual spawn suppression applies.

[true steeple]

No, unless you use cheats, but you can get the stronger players to help out. Valheim is designed for one group progressing together per world, not for multiple individual groups and players doing their own thing in one world.

[lilac coyote]

Unless you mean raids, then try switching to player based raids.

[sudden relic]

Not raids no

[true steeple]

You can use the command removekey to remove the world keys for bosses you have defeated, but this will also affect available raids for everyone and trader stock.

[river plover]

hey, does anyone know how i can remove this giant (annoying) flying pillar from my fortress??
i've tried all ways, the battling ram, the troll (as u can see in the pic) and went afk with a macro mining for 20 mins and the black melly pickaxe broke before it did any significant damage D:

i've mined everything under as well :/

[tired root]

Build platform on the wall, build Ram on platform, use Ram on wall, once destroyed repeat on other wall

[hollow solar]

Im currently on a run with me and my friend, we’re about to fight yagluth on very hard combat and no portals, what is the best strategy to defeat yagluth? I remember last time i fought him i had to lower the difficulty down to normal for it to be fair. Any advice or tips are welcome 😁

[river plover]

i see yeah, i had a feeling that would work but i was hoping there was a faster way, well, thanks man!

[tired root]

I tried Catapult with explosives but it was... Inconsistent. I went back to Ram on platform.

[late hawk]

silver weapons

[subtle parrot]

Barley wine, level 4 silver sword, since there's 2 of you, one of you distract it while the other melees his spine tail, if you see him raise an arm back off. Iirc the right arm is the fire lightning aoe blast and the left is the meteors, look up and just jog left to dodge the meteors. And when he does his fire beam, get in close and attack his back or just run in a circle around him.

[late hawk]

if you can't get close during his attacks just wait for his roar, will take longer then

[grizzled urchin]

this isn't going to be helpful but i love the troll just chilling up there LOL

[hollow solar]

Thanks

[echo sparrow]

just leave it--it's the troll's island now

[river plover]

😂

well... i have bad news then ):

[river plover]

ahhh i see, thx man!

[tired root]

I mean, it worked until for some reason it didn't, also I wanted to avoid hitting outer walls so went back to Ram.

[grizzled urchin]

NOOO
make a runestone in his honor

[river plover]

hmmmm 😂

[tired root]

I think he was a butt anyways.

[grizzled urchin]

make the runestone a big butt

[river plover]

yup right

[grizzled urchin]

my summoned trolls have never done me wrong 🥰

[river plover]

bruh D:

[tired root]

Yet.

[grizzled urchin]

i summon 2 at a time

[river plover]

u sure about that haha??

[river plover]

YET!

[grizzled urchin]

okay well minus their meteor ass goku ass entrance killing me multiple times (didnt realize it was hurting me, am a little dumb)

first time i used one it summoned a treetrunk guy and he helped me clear out fulings he was a good guy :) had to put him down tho :(

[river plover]

trust me, try summoning that good guy in ur base, possibly next to ur portals connection or, even better on ur farm, with the new bog witch update they will also help u harvest crops and protect them from enemies

u should try that! (:

[river plover]

ahh i see, well the meteor yes, the troll would NEVER hurt u tho

[grizzled urchin]

oh uh so
funny story

it wasn't his fault 😭 he was scared and confused

[river plover]

ur right... humans often fail to understand other creatures 😔

[grizzled urchin]

i went outside my base to test it out
he spawned INSIDE of my base and immediately went to work LMAO
that's when i saw the red health bar... panicked and killed him with admin commands LMAO

[river plover]

😭 😭 😭 😭

poor bobby... killed with no hesitation....

[grizzled urchin]

no way i could've killed him in time to keep my BRAND NEW CASTLE from getting destroyed 😭 he will be missed

[tired root]

Yeah, golden rule: don't test new stuff inside your base 👀

[river plover]

trueeeee

what happens if u summon a troll in the ocean? does it die from watah?

[tired root]

I think it doesn't take damage from water.

[grizzled urchin]

NOTED

[river plover]

dang, i forgot we are not in minecraft and that isnt a blaze.... my bad!

[grizzled urchin]

this reminds me of the poor skele summons... they just... kept swimming

[river plover]

WOOOOOO U GAVE ME AN IDEAAAAA

[grizzled urchin]

spawned them on an island to take care of some fulings and jumped on my boat 😭 they swam after me for a longgg time

[river plover]

ill make a swimming pool with some skellies, thats awesome!

I already politely kidnapped some greydwarfs and necks
skellies will be a good addition in my collection!

[river plover]

theyy did their best!

[grizzled urchin]

should we be talking in the help chat btw or is it okay because i dont mind moving to #valheim-chat

[river plover]

i never text so i have no clue but just in case yea i think that would be better

[grizzled mural]

how can i manage my instances in game? i know that the more i have causes more lag, but how can i find what is creating the most?

[atomic berry]

Does a campfire prevent Ashland Dvergrs from spawning? Wiki says player base item prevent aggressive and passive npc from spawning, but Dvergrs are neutral. Just want to be sure

[static steppe]

https://youtu.be/gmUQwxNEIIU?si=tYMsrYNZuXW48yo3

[grizzled mural]

thanks ill check it out

[river plover]

u should get rid of every dropped item, u can move any animal farm bit far from ur base and u should also desroy tree stomps nearby. These are the only tips i know.
Im pretty sure i read in the patch notes that the devs will try to fix the frame rate and performance loss in bases with a lot of instances

u should also turn the vegetation on low, it helps with lag and the flowers or plants are easier to find (like thisle in the swamps or turnip seeds etc.)

[static steppe]

Light sources are one of the highest causes of lag

[echo sparrow]

my computer is pretty old at this point, and I've never had issues with lag/fps loss even with a large base with herds of every tame and etc, and on nearly maxxed out graphics and I SUSPECT the reason I've gotten away with this at all is because I'm VERY stingy with lighting soruces

[sweet crescent]

Whats the command to reveal the position of 10 bog witches?

[echo sparrow]

to be clear, unless using commands, you will simply as normal permanently fix her to just one location--the first you visit--so if the goal is just finding the closest location, "Find Bog Witch" (not actually sure there's a space between "Bog" and "Witch" but should start to suggest autocomplete the correct one for you when you get to "Bog") should do that

it will find the closest Bog Witch to your present spot, then ping it (then you need to mark on map, won't even reveal fog of war)

there are other commands tho, to reveals the fog and/or multiple locations, i just don't know them, only seen examples of others using em

I only have access to Queen's Jam and Boar Jerkey at the Cauldron. I have plenty of honey and the other ingredients necessary to make Mead, but it won't show up on the crafting menu. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the Bog Witcxh

[steep tusk]

Do you have turnips?

[stone garden]

Nope heh, is that necessary?

[steep tusk]

Need Turnip for the Cauldron upgrade.

Then you will see an asston of things pop up.

[stone garden]

I know, but I shouldn't need the cauldron upgrade to make basic meads right?

[steep tusk]

Oh, but you do.

[stone garden]

I've always made meads in the past with a lvl 1 cauldron

IS this new?

doesn't even make any sense. I've always made poison resist potions BEFORE going to the swamp

[grizzled mural]

in my wolf farm they breeding pair keeps turning around for some reason and its breaking the farm. anyone have a video to fix it?

[mellow lodge]

in my experience, there's no long term fix. every now and then i go and destroy a wall, it starts to turn back around, and i place the wall again. then i can feed it as normal for a while

but the "fix" i do is to just destroy the wall to get them to want to try to walk out, and then hurry up and re-place the wall

[grizzled mural]

ok

[mellow lodge]

then it is fine again for a period of time

[grizzled mural]

if i make the pens a bit smaller would that fix it? do you think?

[mellow lodge]

i haven't tried. i honestly wonder if it would be worse. the other thing to try perhaps is to use a half height wall at the top, instead of a full height that they stick their head through. i've had way more success with an asksvin breeder that way. no issues. course they are much bigger

[grizzled mural]

if you look closely im making the walls closer, and the floor a bit more open so they kinda get stuck

[ornate jackal]

[lilac coyote]

But which platform?

[ornate jackal]

oh my bad lol steam, all 3 of us are on PC, playing valheim through steam, joining through steam, and it wont work.

[echo sparrow]

oh do characters on a diferent branch/version (e.g. PTB) just NOT show up in the load screen at all if you load back to the 'normal' current version?

[frail cave]

newer version saves in general are denied on older versions

in the case of worlds, it'll show as "BAD VERSION" on the seed, and in the case of characters it'll just skip them in the list

once the update goes live, you'll be able to load your character and world on the live branch again

[echo sparrow]

Ty for confirming. I figured it was something like that. Just never tried it before.

[ornate jackal]

Anyone familiar with problems regarding joining friends on STEAM/PC?

We always get "Failed to connect"

Hey, I'm not sure if this is a known issue or something caused by the beta, as I know there can be bugs, and I just want to check. No matter how I build the roof of the house (and I've redone it several times), at first it looked nice and overhanging, then I changed it to the most basic one to see if that fixed it, but both the ground floor and the first floor still get damaged by rain. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'll send pictures of the house in a moment (I know it's not the best, but I'm working on it!).

I'm wondering if it's because the house is built relatively high and the roof is covered with snow

[willow raft]

It is a known issue in the ptb.

[near stag]

thanks so much i didnt know ❤️

[fervent ivy]

Hello i have a qs if i Update the game for the ptb do i need to start a new world for the bog witch to spawn or it can spawn in my world ?

[steep tusk]

Ask in the ptb channels.

[gritty zephyr]

is the day length less now ? as i seem to be in night most of the time

[willow raft]

Can spawn in your world in a swamp area that hasn't been explored but such question are better asked in the ptb channels.

[lilac coyote]

Hasn't changed.

[dusk raft]

Wtf is happening???!!

[molten mountain]

it seems like you're using mods? If so, #mods-issues would be the channel for finding help

[lilac coyote]

What is this nonsense?

[stoic trench]

Oh gosh, new discord features 😅

[buoyant peak]

Oh no the server is being hacked again

[warm saddle]

hi can ony one help me with this crash? valheim unity 2022.3.17f1_4fc78088f837

[lilac coyote]

With no information, probably not.

[warm saddle]

whats needed?

[tired root]

Like: are you playing current PTB patch and are you using mods?

[warm saddle]

not on ptb and yes but without mods are still the same

[tired root]

If mods have caused that then https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 can help you too.

[warm saddle]

"without mods are still the same" also other people on the server dont have that problem, there was new valheim instaled, new GPU drivers etc.

even new windows system instaled back to version 10

[molten mountain]

We haven't had much luck finding turnips in the swamps on our server so far. Any tips on finding them or is it really just unlucky rng/generation?

[tired root]

Sometimes even removing mods some files can remain and cause issues with the game. What mods did you use? I suggested those channels because some other might have encountered same problem with same mods you were using.

[fickle mesa]

It doesn't matter whether you have mods or no mods, the same problem repeats itself for the same person.

[tired root]

Sometimes it is like that. And sometimes the seeds are hard to spot. Keep looking out and you will find some!

[lilac coyote]

Mods definitely make a difference.

[warm saddle]

How mods make it difference when on clean valheim its the same crash XD

[lilac coyote]

If you're just going to laugh react I'll leave you someone else.

[warm saddle]

cool bro

[willow raft]

There is clean install and "clean" install.

Have you done a full clean install like described in point 5 of this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/

Because just reinstalling the game after removing the game might not get rid of all the mod things that got added, there might be something somewhere that is still bugging Valheim making it crash.

[warm saddle]

clean new system new valheim

#dedicated-server

[scarlet girder]

So I just defeated the Elder boss (great bossfight). He gave me a key. How should I learn in the game where to go and use this key? Any npc or map thing that will help me to know where the next big boss is? I don't wanna use tutorials or websites but right now no idea where to use this key and where direction should I go to go for the next boss.

[frail cave]

keep exploring the oceans, you'll find the biome the key's name is referencing sooner or later

[steep tusk]

How should I learn in the game where to go

What is the full name of the key?

----- Key
^ Important, informational word here.

[buoyant peak]

Read the name of the key...

[frosty frost]

It has already been said 2 times 😅

[lunar ore]

Why I can't see Lox Pie and other Plains level foods, which item I need

[lilac coyote]

Do you have an upgraded cauldron?

[frosty frost]

what lvl of cauldron do you have?

[lunar ore]

It is level 3

[lilac coyote]

You need 4.

[frosty frost]

Yep, you need pots and pans upgrade

[lunar ore]

I have butcher table, pots and pans, what makes it level 4

[frosty frost]

Oh, then spice rack

3 Dandelion
2 Carrot
5 Mushroom
3 Thistle
3 Turnip

[lilac coyote]

$10 says you're missing the Turnips.

[lunar ore]

Yeah, I just noticed I skipped turnip from swamp somehow, sorry guys and thanks anyway

[frosty frost]

I just now wanted to say that i would not take that bet since i would loose at 99.99% XD

[frosty frost]

No problem 😄 tho i am dumbfounded how you were managing through the game without proper food xD

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i feel like turnips were one of the key ingredients also

[small nest]

goddamn turnips ruining everything

[molten mountain]

i wonder if anyone knows the answer to this very specific question: what shape is the collider for coal items?

I tried to make a kiln-powered pachinko tower, but the items have a fair bit of trouble rolling on even 45° slopes

[lost swift]

Duplicated post from #valheim-chat

I have had more crashes in the last 2 weeks than the other 3000+ hours I've played the game. GTX 3070 driver 565.90 in Game Ready mode.

I looked at the log and Unity isn't logging antyhing pre-crash. Anyone know anywhere else I could look to troubleshoot? My boot.config is as follows:

hdr-display-enabled=0
gc-max-time-slice=3
build-guid=90641fbb779d42aeab93aa4feb788c3b
gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1```

I checked event viewer and Windows Error Reporting dumped some stuff but nothing resembling a stacktrace.

[jade tusk]

have you by any chance installed the latest state of the art Windows update 24h2? Seems to cause all kinds of fuzzy issues for any system or game, at random.

[lost swift]

I'm on 22h2. I generally don't update my OS unless absolutely necessary.

[karmic spoke]

Im excited for the new update to come out! My question is that if I play on he TestBranch will my world save carry over easily for when the update comes out officially?

[lilac coyote]

Your world should carry over just fine when it goes live (though always make a backup) but bear in mind it won't work before that.

[twin cradle]

So i'm confused. I just managed to restore my world to another server and logged in OK. I took out a boat somewhere else and died, lost all my stuff on that island. So i then logged back into my main server and the boat was gone in there also and i have a death marker on the other island where i died. but i didn't die on this server, do in game events follow the player rather than the server?

[karmic spoke]

So after making a backup, my Release World should work fine. In theory Test Branch worlds should carry over fine then.

[proper sedge]

Hey all, for the past 5 months or so, I've been creating a prebuilt world with villages and castles in almost every biome. I'd like to let others download it for themselves so that they can play with friends or start a no map playthrough etc... my question is what would be the best way to drop the world file somewhere so that others can download it and play?

[grizzled mural]

im losing my mind right now. i found a draugr village and am trying to turn it into a farm. i have 17 DAMN DRAUGR IN A HOLE AND THEY WONT STOP SPAWNIGN WTF IS GOING ONNNNNNNNNN

[frail cave]

how close are they to the spawner?

well i figure they wanna keep the spawner around to farm it for entrails, but if the draugr aren't close enough to the spawner, it'll keep spawning while the farm is being worked on

[lilac coyote]

Isn't that the definition of Draugr farm?

I misread stuff all the time. Especially at 2am.

[grizzled mural]

lmao all good. it seemed that i needed 20 draugr out in a hole

[frail cave]

if the hole was closer to the spawner, you would've needed far less 😅

they must've been outside the radius

[grizzled mural]

yeah that was the issue but it was like <10m but i dug closer and it fixed. i got the farm working

[merry folio]

is this ok? Failed to place all SwampRuin2, placed 5 out of 30 and the others?

[frail cave]

yes, a lot of POIs don't get to meet their maximum, and swampruin2 isn't anything important anyway, it's not new (probably one of the stone towers that have nothing in them, or the abandoned shacks)

[true steeple]

Don’t worry about it. No seed can place everything.

[zinc lintel]

@frosty frostproblem fixed but haven't figure it out what mod was the problem

[plush kernel]

any tips for fenring trophies? been grinding for hours for bait

[willow raft]

At night and frost caves are your best bet, just keep going, drop chance is like 5% if I'm not mistaken.
If you really are desperate for it you could console it in.

[plush kernel]

frost caves? they dont spawn in them do they?

[true steeple]

No, fenrings don’t spawn in frost caves.

[willow raft]

My bad I was mixing my mobs up again.

[subtle parrot]

I mean cultists are basically fenring, in robes lol

[static steppe]

I just jump in the water where the tetra swim and push them out as I spam E 🤣 I've never found a fenring trophy in over 2500 hours of game play. I hardly ever see a fenring.

[frosty frost]

If you go to #valheim-public-test we can give you more info, this channel should be for live branch only 🙂

[gloomy marsh]

I see, I shall fix this, what channel is that tho? ((I see it as No Access)

[frosty frost]

If you dont have access you can go to id:customize and pick up "i want to be a public tester" role 😄

[gloomy marsh]

Changing right away! Thanks, Ill remove my comment for spoilers also!

nothing happens haha

[strange radish]

me when the

[hollow solar]

yes but i find it very useless on this difficulty, once your hit youre dead

[true steeple]

You might be able to survive one hit with the wine, at least. It will half his fire damage and bonemass power will half the physical damage, so he'll do the same damage as he would to an unbuffed player in normal difficulty.

It's very cheap, so unless you don't want to wait it would be a good idea to craft some

[hollow solar]

we died, his meteor shower destroyed our spawn and so now we gotta sail there on a karve and probably lose all progress on him

im so close to uninstalling ngl

[subtle parrot]

He's probably easier to solo than duo on very hard

[echo sparrow]

honestly very possibly, because the HP & damage scaling

which for all I know multiplies the buff already received by difficulty

[subtle parrot]

I think it just scales the hp

[echo sparrow]

oh i thought damage to

[subtle parrot]

Damage by the difficulty, hp by the number of players iirc

[true steeple]

The damage has a very small increase with more players (I think 4% but I may be wrong...)

[frail cave]

it's 4% yes

[subtle parrot]

Ah gotcha

[urban hearth]

So: Base structures prevent enemy spawns within 20 meters (or almost around 35 m for upgraded forge/workbench), but if you're within 40m of three base structures, you may get a base invasion event. It seems like you either get random spawns, or events, no way to block both off.
I know you can turn off the invasions from the menu, or make them depend on the player progress, but if I wanted to make a base that's safe both from randomly spawning enemies and from events, would it be possible to achieve? If an event starts but I'm I have blocked off nearby spawning with base structures, will the event just pass without anything happening, or will the enemies spawn within the base? How far away do event enemies spawn?

For example, could I create my base at location X, and then create a sufficiently large bufferzone around it using campfires to create an area large enough that even while an event could trigger, no enemies could spawn?

[echo sparrow]

yes if you entirely cover an area with overlapping base structure radii such that nothing can spawn in there, raids will still trigger but no enemies will spawn

[urban hearth]

Any idea how large that raid spawning area is, then?

[echo sparrow]

well you just need to cover the area that's your base proper, plus a sufficient radius out such that even on the 'edges' of the inside of your base, if a raid triggers, there's still no viable area for it to spawn mobs OUTSIDE your base (that being said, also, raised earth walls and/or trenches are impregnable defenses against any of those that DO spawn, except flyers)

[tired notch]

I hope you have fire resist meads

[echo sparrow]

Enemies are spawned 40-80 meters from players which allows them to spawn outside the event area. @urban hearth

from the wiki https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events

[urban hearth]

Ah! Thank you! I combed through that article but I missed that 40-80 m area. Thanks! That answer my question 👍

[echo sparrow]

the problem with flyers specifically is I don't THINK they need solid ground, so I THINK they can actually just spawn over open water, so if as is common your base is near coastline, it's just not possible (unless you raise little pillars of earth to put campfires on out in the water, which requires the water just being shallow enough to begin with to make this possible) to cover all possible spawn places for flyers (out over the water, then fly in to your base) \with spawn blockers

[hollow solar]

how do the server owner give someone admin?

[true steeple]

What for?

[urban hearth]

Ye I always make my base near water, and then always later get annoyed by enemies swimming over. Gotta remind myself to build the actual base away from shore and then make just a small pier-base on the shore

[hollow solar]

so i can fly back because the server crashed and now im stuck in the middle of the ocean and the boat is gone

[true steeple]

Admin is just for kick, ban etc. Cheat commands can't be used by anyone but the host.

[hollow solar]

L valheim

[echo sparrow]

that's a possible solution, it's a constant trade-off--until very near the end of progression--between how easily you want to be able to transport metal, versus how much base infrastructure to just setup on the shoreline because of the weight and teleportation restrictions on metal, which is why boat transportation is so critical early (you're moving something that can't be teleported, to ultimately process metals into finished items, whether that's the metal to the place you've setup workstations, or the workstations and their upgrades)

It appears that mountable animals will only recover stamina if they remain saddled. Can anyone confirm? Is this intended?

[bitter kiln]

Anyone have a generally fast progression guide through the first few biomes?

I'ved played through them, but I have to start over and am mostly interested in playing through the newer mistlands and ashlands content.

In 2 previous playthroughs it was a group effort but i always had a bit more time to play, so i had time to farm tons of ore and make multiple upgraded weapons while waiting for friends to catch up. Now i just want to blast through more efficiently, and then slow it down for the last 2 or 3 biomes. any advice would be greatly aprpeciated

[echo sparrow]

the bets way IMO is to skip unnecessary weapons & armor

[bitter kiln]

Super helpful. I should add that this playthrough will be solo though

[steep tusk]

Join.
Spawn the first 5 trophies.
Put them on the Stones.

Spawn whatever you would deem as "Plains gear."

Boom. You're at Mistlands tier and can enjoy the game from the point you want to start.

[subtle parrot]

Just pick up some sticks and flint and make a workbench and upgrade it, kill some boars pick some shrooms and kill some necks. Make flint knife and leather armor and crude bow, kill eikthyr. Go to BF, gather pickables, pickaxe or troll through some copper grab some tin, make good food, get fine wood make better bow, kill elder. Build karve, go to swamp, same thing as before gather pickables kill stuff. Don't forget to go into chambers and crypts for the good stuff in BF and swamps.

[bitter kiln]

There's an idea lol

[steep tusk]

I was not being funny.

[echo sparrow]

yeah I assumed you didn't want to just hard skip, but that's literally the fastest--just use console to skip

[steep tusk]

If you want to jump into Mistlands because you've done the previous multiple times, just jump to Mistlands.

Absolutely zero wrong with doing it.

It is your game after all.

Press MMB on an Atgeir twice. All dead.

[bitter kiln]

Very fair. All good advice. ill think on it for a few minute and go from there. Thank you everyone!

[acoustic urchin]

That's too cruel of a punishment

[steep tusk]

Best all-around weapon in the game.

They hit a fucking wall in Ashlands though with everything being hyper pierce resistant.

[frosty frost]

It Is really fun 😄

[tired root]

Only Charred and Morgen are resistant, and Morgen are weak against Lightning. Himminafl is good even in Ashlands.

[steep tusk]

So... 70% of all enemies that spawn (charred) are resistant.

And by that math your conclusion is "pierce is good"

Well ok then...

[tired root]

I didn't say that. I said Himminafl is good.

[steep tusk]

Against 1 specific enemy.

[tired root]

Secondary attack stagger all non-starred enemies in Ashlands because Lightning (which no mob resist) is added to stagger effect.

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

Moving on...

[tired root]

I just stated some reasons why Himminafl is good even in Ashlands. We can move on.

[lilac coyote]

I think he's trying to.

[subtle parrot]

It will keep them up at night

[crisp kernel]

Hello everyone, I’m kinda new here, I didn’t find info anywhere so I’m posting it here (I hope it hasn’t been addressed already).
So I’m playing solo on the same save since 2022 I think (over 600+ hours) and I have an issue with the sacrificial stones since the Ashlands update (the last boss’s stone has been added really oddly between the one of the Queen and Eikthyr) and I wanted to know if this will be patched or if unfortunately not, how could I reset this, like if the seed has been generated with the current update ? I’m not really into modding and the devs commands might be an issue later if new bosses are added, thank you in advance for your responses 😊

[frosty frost]

If you make a new world the stones will be spaced properly 🙂 it is only issue on pre ashlands worlds

[steep tusk]

Wait until the next stone is added and fucks it all up yet again 😛

[crisp kernel]

Yes but I dont want to start a new world 😭

[steep tusk]

There is a non-zero probability you will have to eventually.

[frosty frost]

in that case you will have to unfortunately live with it i fear, i think there was a way using mods but i will really not recomend that

[crisp kernel]

Why Is that ? 🧐

[tired root]

Currently no vanilla ways to fix those stones in pre-Ashlands world.

[steep tusk]

Early Access game?

Ones that do not force a hard reset on official launch are in the minority.

[crisp kernel]

That’s what a feared, my ocd are tickling

[steep tusk]

It's an understood part of playing Early Access games.

[tired root]

Fortunately you don't have to visit there often, only when returning trophy or changing Forsaken power

[crisp kernel]

Yes but the game have officialy Launched on xbox no ?

[frosty frost]

Well, if we take it from the brighter side you have now a bit of a curiosity in your world 😄 like old mistlands for example

[steep tusk]

No.

[crisp kernel]

Yes but I fear it becomes uglier Even glitchy if new bosses are added

[crisp kernel]

The old mistland ? There Is a new mistland ?

[crisp kernel]

Mb then

[frosty frost]

When mistlands were not launched yet there was a placeholder in areas they would be in 🙂 and if you explored it then the "old" mistlands stayed there even after the update

[echo sparrow]

right that's how you know who's a REAL fan

[crisp kernel]

Oh yeah I remembered that, I didn’t find it at the time in this save so lucky me 😛

[tired root]

Old Mistlands refers to high trees and cobwebs in placeholder Mistlands areas that generated if your proximity was close enough, after H&H patch new worlds didn't generate them anymore, instead were left barren.

Also old worlds before Mistlands update generated smaller areas of Mistlands than new worlds created after the update.

[crisp kernel]

In my old save I only found the empty space, it was before the "jungle" thing if I remember

I remember exploring this, with the cobweb, it was spooky, the actual mistland completely overshadowed it

So no patch intended you reckon ?

[frosty frost]

For the stone?

[crisp kernel]

Yup

[frosty frost]

I really dont think so, it is not problem anymore really since all the worlds you make now have it properly spaced

[crisp kernel]

Hmmm, but it will become problematic again if they add new bosses again, like in the deep north

[frosty frost]

Maybe, maybe not, we will have to see 🙂

[crisp kernel]

Well thank you for your answers and on that, I will fight my way back deeper into flametal mining

[frosty frost]

Good luck 😄 dont die too much

[crisp kernel]

Thank you, I think I died more in Ashlands than in all the biomes together, soloing Is hard in this one

[steep tusk]

Not even considered imo.
Because you can just make a new world 🤷‍♂️

[frosty frost]

Also playing solo 😄 it gave me swamp flashbacks from the time i just started playing

[crisp kernel]

Yeah but I put to much efforts in this one, I can’t let it go for now…

[steep tusk]

🤷‍♂️

[tired root]

Starting anew is sometimes refreshing experience but I also understand the sentimentalness of the old world.

[crisp kernel]

Same, actually until you find enough iron to run the place

[steep tusk]

"enough iron"

😂 There is no such thing. 😂

[frosty frost]

One of the absolute truths of Valheim XD

[tired root]

Especially if you are builder!

[crisp kernel]

Well I was actually lucky in this save, 15 crypts, in one swamp only

[frosty frost]

Nice 😄

[crisp kernel]

I only began to be short on it 200hours later

[faint shale]

do bows do more damage when the target is farther away or is there certain weak points i have to hit?

[steep tusk]

Neither.

Very, very few enemies even have weak spots.
And distance is irrelevant.

[frosty frost]

Only few enemies in the game have weak points, dmg is based mainly on how much the bow is drawn

[true steeple]

Like all weapons, damage is random, selected from a range determined by your skill level.
And also affected by how drawn it is.

[steep tusk]

Random?

[true steeple]

The yellow numbers on the weapon description show the maximum and minimum damage

[steep tusk]

Oh Jesus...

[true steeple]

Fortunately the range is very small

[steep tusk]

Why do games force artificial randomness just for the sake of artificial randomness?

Like... what is wrong with "12 damage"????
Why does it have to be "10-14"?

[true steeple]

I don’t know, I like things to be consistent

[echo sparrow]

To keep you on your toes

[steep tusk]

No.

[true steeple]

You’ll love the new skills coming in the next update

[faint shale]

is it worth upgrading troll armor to lvl 2 or should i make bronze armor? i do not like that bronze armor makes me slower though

[frosty frost]

Troll armor is absolutely valid choice 🙂 most experienced players use it i believe

[quick tide]

you need to Farm Iron untill you leave the game

Fortunately, we're just about to have another excuse to go back into the swamp.

[fossil halo]

Hey, is there a way for me (PC) to make a copy of my friends (Xbox) world, he has a habit of stop playing a game mid playthrough and I want to be able to play on our world after he stops playing.

[zenith saddle]

hey, anyone got any tips on how to best spawnproof an island? I got a black forest island and I'm unsure of what I already spawnproofed and what areas I haven't

[sudden relic]

What's the deal with building on a small island in the middle of the sea... do you need to raise the ground alot? Wondering what impact the storm waaves have on it. Looking at this place atm - everything but a small bit of the highest rock gets covered during a storm

[frosty frost]

best way is with workbenches since you can see their radius which is the same for crafting and spawnproofing 🙂

[zenith saddle]

I did that, but the issue with those is that mobs seem to come from outside the radius and destroy it if I have missed anything...

[frosty frost]

Or if you dont want them there since they can be eyesore you can first put them and then replace with campfires and those work even when not lit and are not attacked on sight by enemies 🙂

if you put them as close as you can to the water that should be enough 🤔

[sudden relic]

Maybe you are too close to mainland and stuff is spawning there and coming your way

[zenith saddle]

Nah I am FAR out

[lilac coyote]

That's not even in Ocean.

[zenith saddle]

I did have to cross the ocean biome and I can't see any other islands from the shoreline (except the northern one)

Here it is again from that seed previewer

[quasi vault]

I hate that the answer you were given was to cheat. So here's mine, if you want to get through the first biomes very fast I just recommend being nomad up until the swamps and just build your one and only base in the plains once you have the root harnesk and iron gear. You can reach that point very fast if you just smelt the copper and tin directly in the forest, make everything you need there (axe, cultivator, shield, nails) make about 30 extra bronze bars (use them temporarily to make potions), 60 copper bar and 30 tin bar (it is enough for the whole playthrough to make the fermenters cooking stations and all various workbench upgrades). Then kill the elder, sail towards a big swamp, setup your forge and smelter there, make your new gear, 100 nails for the bigger boat and fill the rest of it with iron. then aim for a good building location in a plain about 2 third of the way on the map, ideally to the east or the west to ease exploring the mistlands later. If you do this you can be setup with a late game base in the plains with all the iron you will need in less than 20 hours.

i cant see status of chickens help they also wont eat

i have the feeder mod but i also tried feeting them normaly

ahh

what about status

do they need to be happy to grow up or...

[quasi vault]

They will grow up no matter what, just takes a few days

[cyan jungle]

how can i make the blast furnace drop things down into my funnel? the regular furnace does it just fine, when the blast furnace drops an ingot its caught on the slide

[frosty frost]

you cant

[cyan jungle]

that is so annoying

the kiln and furnace funnel just fine but NOT the blast furnace uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug

[bitter kiln]

Interesting, I kind of like this approach and forces me to build in a different biome than I normally would

[quasi vault]

@bitter kiln Plains is a great choice for 3 main reasons, it is very flat so easy to build onto, you can grow all the crops before the mistlands in there and more importantly it makes getting blackmetal a breeze as the blackmetal just comes to you slowly but surely

[nocturne swallow]

What’s good tank build? Endgame. Flammetal set and sword and shield?

[quasi vault]

@nocturne swallow Yes, I'd recommend the carapace buckler over the flametal roundshield though as it has a much greater parry force

[cyan jungle]

do wolves eat raw fish

any kind of meat?

[true steeple]

According to https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming they eat
boar, deer, lox and neck meat, raw fish and sausages.

[cyan jungle]

yeah i looked it up thanks :3 i was using hare meat

and fish , didnt notice they ate the fish

[spring frigate]

What's the best way to preventing stuff from spawning on my island?

Well yes workbenches but anything else of is it just that

[stoic trench]

Lots of people use campfires 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Any player base item will do.

[mystic phoenix]

Anyone experiencing issues when connecting to other players worlds? My friend and i both made brand new characters and each of us tried making new worlds to join and neither were letting us connect

[spring frigate]

What's the smallest one?

[lilac coyote]

Smallest is probably the torch.

[molten mountain]

workbenches are nice because they clearly show the radius

[lilac coyote]

That's the reason most people recommend workbenches (and why a LOT of people never realise there's about 20 different items that do the same)

[molten mountain]

on a similar note of dealing with mobs: what height difference is the minimum for having a functional wall of raised earth?

[sinful fern]

Any idea when the bog witch update is coming to default?? I've only accessed the beta with a new world so i dont risk losing saves but I'm excited for it ü

[lilac coyote]

When it's mostly bug free.

[frosty pine]

the server host i bought a server from isnt letting me do the bog witch update. is anyone using a host that has an easy ui that lets you do the public test?

[sturdy crane]

(Not sure where to put this) I'm having an issue since installing the public test of the bogwitch where a fully covered building seems to have water leaking in. It doesn't really make much sense since its covered with enough roofing and has no open holes that water can get through, and to boot it goes to the 1st floor but there's not water damage happening to the 2nd floor (closer to the roof). Anyone know what the heck this is?

[lilac coyote]

Please report bugs in one of the PTB channels.

Do boar respawn around boar runes?

[true steeple]

No, they only spawn when the runestone is generated.

[lone nest]

FIXED it was an issue with radmin
Hi, im playing with a friend and now another friend also wants to play but he can't connect to my server.
Im running a dedicated server through radmin for port forwarding and the first friend hasn't had issues to connect.
Now a new friend wants to join and he got valheim updated to last version and all the stuff but when he tries to join he gets connection failed and in my console it doesn't even register that he tried to even join.
Settings for the server are valheim_server -nographics -batchmode -name "Pantorrillas" -port 2456 -world "Pantorrillas" -password =*= -public 0 -crossplay
Thank you for your help.

[zenith saddle]

These sunken crypts... I know that they're not the ONLY source of iron (as they're also dropped during fishing), but they're the only reliable source of iron. Considering just how many recipes require it, won't I eventually run out of crypts in my world and have to farm iron either via fishing or by yoinking it from a different world?

or how do the pros do it lol

[lilac coyote]

As you say, they're not the only source so you will never run out.

[buoyant peak]

It's almost guaranteed that you will get tired of a single world way long before every single crypt in the world runs out of iron

And creating a new world is an option still

Or at that point just spawn it with commands

[subtle parrot]

There is another way as well, you'll get there eventually

[reef glade]

My fires keep getting on and off, does anyone know how to fix this?

It's not due to smoke and als not duento the rain

Also it's every fire, smelters included

[true steeple]

Are you on the public test? It’s a known bug and will probably be fixed soon.

[reef glade]

I am yea, makes sense thank you!

[lusty light]

If the deep north will be added and i havent loaded it yet, does my own world load with the new update or do I have to start over?

[stray flame]

Anyone know how to have a Samsung tv player to play the update?

[true steeple]

New content generates in unexplored areas

[worldly basin]

yall is this spawn proof

[frosty frost]

No, spawners cant be spawnproofed

[worldly basin]

i thought you could spawn proof them and force enemies to spawn on specific spots

[frosty frost]

there could be a way to do that, but i am not really knowlagable about the mob farms, i usually just dig a hole that i stay in and kill them as they soawn

[lusty light]

Thx! I will make sure not to go North untill it drops

[halcyon crag]

oops wrong info, a 10x10 square will stop the spawner from spawning

[frosty frost]

Oh? Are they unable to spawn on it? 🤔 (tbf i meant the traditional ways of spawnproofing with player base items, but i will gladly learn something new :D)

[halcyon crag]

works with every overworld spawner as well, like draugr ones in the villages

doesn't even matter what pieces you use, roof tiles will also stop them spawning as long as they are close to the spawner

[halcyon crag]

it's because they have a limited range for spawning (for obvious reasons) so if you cover all the possible spawn spots, the spawner shuts off effectively

[urban hearth]

The wiki on personal chest says:
"Since only the owner of the chest can dismantle it with a Hammer, the only other way to remove a personal chest is to destroy it with a weapon."

Does this mean that the chest stays even if you break floor from beneath it? Will it fall down or stay suspended in air? If it stays still, can you use it as a support for a building that doesn't touch ground?

[deep prairie]

whats the best way to find turnips? ive gone to at least 3 swamps and havent found any.

[halcyon crag]

literally just persistence with that, scouting

[halcyon crag]

i think it will stay but won't provide decent support, you'd be faster to test it out tho xD

[deep prairie]

yeah, ill have to keep looking. a little annoying buy what can you do lmao

[small nest]

easier way is to cover it with roof, i heard that it works well

its like building shelter for it

[halcyon crag]

yup i said that as well

[small nest]

oh alright, i read only the beginning

[gloomy marsh]

Do you get more skill by shooting a Fuling vs Greyling with a bow?

Do you get more skill by shooting a full charged shot vs a quick click shot?

Do you get more skill by fishing bigger fish vs smaller AND by fishing "high tier" fish like in mistlands vs Pike?

Do you get more skill if you block a Greyling attack vs a Fuling attack?

And can these answers be translated into every single skill if so?

Sorry if this is a fucked question ^^

[true steeple]

Weapon skills gain the same amount of xp for any hit, and blocking skill isn’t affected by what you block, but parrying gives a little more xp.

Fishing skill shouldn’t be affected by what fish you’re catching but I haven’t done enough fishing to be sure

[gloomy marsh]

aah nice thanks for clearification 😄 Parry thing I knew

Had to double check

[tired root]

Actually spears gain a bit more xp per primary hits than other weapon skills.

[dire berry]

Hi! Have things changed with the Bog Witch update regarding cheat codes for creative mode by chance?
I hit F5 key & typed in devcommands & nothing...
typed debugmode..& nothing...

1. best shield for swamp stage? (i have big wood nv2, bone shield nv2 and bronze shield nv1)
2. wraith/daugr 1 star/ daugr elite hurt me very bad even blocking them. Any tips?
3. any tips for fast sausage food farm?

[serene tangle]

1. bronze buckler + parry (but you need to eat some high-hp food for that to work)

[steep tusk]

0 skill you need 57 HP to parry all the non-stars, 190 for 2 star Draugr Elite

100 skill that drops to 38 and 141

Black Forest HHS food will net you 130 HP, so you'd be completely fine as long as you dodge-roll the 2-stars.

Swamp HHS bumps you up to 148.

Once you get Iron Buckler you're golden.

[bright reef]

does block force mean the damage it negates from the attacker or total dmg it can block?

[steep tusk]

Force is just Knockback.

[bright reef]

oh so how does blocking work then cuz i still take damage to my health

when im blocking

[steep tusk]

#valheim-chat message

Blocking Sheet has everything you need.

[serene tangle]

Also there's a calcaultor https://valheim.kirilloid.ru/defense/Draugr-axe*0-vs-armor:28-shield:ShieldBronzeBuckler-20 if you want more interactive approach

[steep tusk]

My sheet, where you type in the values you want, isn't interactive? 😭

Pain...

[scarlet girder]

Question 1: wraith/daugr 1 star/ daugr elite hurt me very bad even blocking them. Any tips?
Question 2: any tips for fast sausage food farm?

[molten mountain]

while rolling to dodge, you're invisible for a short time. It's a good skill to have in case of those higher tier enemies that do too much damage for blocking/parrying

i recommend trolls or greydwarf brutes for practice 🙂

[steep tusk]

2. Meadows. Find a Draugr Village.

[zenith saddle]

so, events happen at complete random, huh? I've been waiting for like three hours to check if my spawn proofing was sufficient or not.

[tired root]

Every 46 minutes there is 20% chance for a random event to trigger, depending on different conditions.

[molten mountain]

of course, rng is very unpredictable and you might get a raid every time, or none at all

[sturdy folio]

[bright reef]

are iron armor a direct upgrade from troll armor after reaching iron age/swamps?

[halcyon crag]

on the fishing question, not directly, but you do get 1.5x xp for reeling in with a fish hooked, and bigger fish are harder/take longer to reel in so inadvertently you will gain more xp for harder to get fish

[lilac coyote]

Iron armour is an upgrade to Bronze armour. Root is the next light armour after Troll.

[halcyon crag]

both of which are direct upgrades, but with different bonuses/drawbacks

[grizzled mural]

did they buff lox in this game? havent played since hildir update and holy crap. they take no damage and even when i parry i get sent back like 50 ft XDD

[zenith saddle]

is this big enough for every type of ship if I did another quay extension on the other side like a U shape or do I need to extend the bottom of that... Bay? What's the word for that? It should look like a harbor when it's done.

Also, there's no kind of varnish or so later on in the game to treat the wood to prevent it from rotting, right

[grizzled mural]

im clearing trees and rocks around my main base stumps and all. my damn instances wont stop going up. im playing a damn slideshow im at 10301 instances

[halcyon crag]

true but you could alter the design to be more stone, like the edging sections and stairs, and then trim with darkwood which doesn't rot

[halcyon crag]

no buff but just run them to a tar pit xD

[halcyon crag]

the pain of this.. clear everything in render range for best results for fps, but that can also make a build look a bit barren

[grizzled mural]

damn

[royal python]

anyone know the command to spawn in the moder spawner

like the rock where u put the eggs

[halcyon crag]

hm, no listing for this on the wiki it seems, her altar is called sacrificial altar though, maybe type sacrificial in the commands box and tab to see if that brings it up

it might be game breaking to spawn such a thing also, make sure to backup!

[fervent ravine]

Cant find the moder spawn?

[real nebula]

#mods-issues for modded saves, we can't really support modded games

[glossy shore]

Thanks

[harsh escarp]

does anybody have advice for the elder fight

[steep tusk]

Dodge roll when he stomps.

Walk away from Roots.
More dodge rolling when he stomps.

Whack until dead.

@harsh escarp

[royal python]

Nah just trying to spawn one for my world

[fervent ravine]

pretty sure, just like any other boss locations and the trophy stones, you cant spawn them

[scarlet girder]

I Just came back From swamp with 120 Iron scraps. Hated swamp, too slow, not cool. What should be my priorities with the Irons ingots that I have? I would like to avoid going to swamp x.x

[steep tusk]

Uh... I hate to tell you this...

But you will never stop needing iron.

[scarlet girder]

Sad to hear that. But okay, cant change It. Anyway what should I priorize now?

[steep tusk]

First 10 iron should always go to Nails so you can make the better boat.
After that, Iron Mace for killing the boss.
Iron Buckler also a good look.

What was "slow" about the swamp?

[scarlet girder]

Alright. Boat, Mace and Buckler.

[scarlet girder]

I can't run properly, stamina ends fast, wet status all the time. Draug 1 star or Elite too strong.

If The wet effect wasnt on, swamp would be okay

[steep tusk]

"can't run properly"?

Rested buff and proper food

That's the point of the swamp

Proper food

You're going to fucking hate the Mistlands 😂

[scarlet girder]

Deer soup/carrot soap/Jam is The food I can make it

[steep tusk]

Deer Soup/Minced Meat/Carrot Soup is the food you can make and should have.

[scarlet girder]

If they let me run properly It Will bê better than swamp! x.x

[steep tusk]

Nope 🙃

Running is much, much worse.

[scarlet girder]

Deer meat is hard to get also, carrot is easiest

[steep tusk]

Neglecting your stats "because hard to get" is not going to serve you well in this game.

[scarlet girder]

To avoid gathering more mobs?

[steep tusk]

No like... you can't run in straight lines for extended periods in the Mistlands due to the actual land configuration.

[scarlet girder]

I mean, expeding too much time exploding The nmap for deer Hunt isnt Fun X.x

[steep tusk]

Translation (whether you accept this or not) "Valheim isn't fun."

Grinding for materials is the game.

[scarlet girder]

I agree

Well, could you be kind a list where should I spend those 120 Iron ingots I gathered? Shop>Armor>What more?

[steep tusk]

Did I not already say?

First 10 = boat
Then Iron Mace
Forge Upgrade Pieces
Then Iron Buckler

[scarlet girder]

Thanks again s2

[chilly shadow]

Gonna post this for the AM, but whats the trick to keeping a boat in one place? Ive seen posts saying boats dont drift and some saying they do.

So whats the lowdown?

[frail cave]

if not a single player is on a boat, they'll constantly slow down their movement until they're perfectly still.
crashing against the sea floor or being pushed by enemies can still move them, but they're gonna stop drifting as soon as it stops pushing them

[steep tusk]

They don't drift unless you're in them.
If you want it to stop dead, no matter how fast it is moving, just jump overboard.

[frail cave]

the real danger with parking a boat is making sure enemies don't destroy it while you're off doing things, since they attack boats on sight.
keeping the area unloaded is one solution, breaking the boat and keeping its materials safe is another

[grizzled mural]

Do fuling camps respawn at all or when you clear them it’s done?

[foggy hound]

why am i sooo fcking slow

[frail cave]

the initial population doesn't respawn, but since it's a plains biome, fulings can happen to randomly spawn in a cleared fuling village

[grizzled mural]

Damn ok. So there isn’t a way to “farm” fuling?

[frail cave]

same for lox, i swear every fuling village i clear has a stack of lox spawn on it like 5 minutes after, such an annoying coincidence

[frail cave]

nothing other than running around plains and killing them as you see em, plenty around
