[frail cave]

especially at night, their nightspawns are very frequent

[foggy hound]

like, i am laughably slow afterr the update

[grizzled mural]

Ok. Thanks for letting me know

[foggy hound]

is that normal?

[frail cave]

movement speed? performance? did you accidentally press the toggle walk button and are now walking instead of running?

[grizzled mural]

Probably the armor and weapons you are using

[foggy hound]

i wasnt this slow before the update

[frail cave]

got a video? i think this channel allows posting those (could be wrong)

[foggy hound]

i already started posting it xD

[ripe bone]

ahhh i hope t hat before the deep north....or after idkkk man, the game could possibly get some more optimisation...my laptop is having a heartattack rn..

[frail cave]

they're always optimizing things wherever they can

[foggy hound]

looks faster in the vid

[frail cave]

that looks like normal movement speed for holding a shield, a weapon and having heavy armor equipped

[foggy hound]

how 😭

[frail cave]

if it's faster in the video than it is in-game, it might be a framerate issue

[foggy hound]

i cant outrun shiut

i used to be able to

[frail cave]

my recording software records games smoother than they actually run 😅
but if it's a framerate problem, it should affect enemies as well as you (unless you're in multiplayer and not the chunk master)

[foggy hound]

it feels slow as jabba the hut

[frail cave]

well i wouldn't try to outrun things with weapons drawn in the first place

[grizzled mural]

If you are talking about running speed. You are wearing heavy armor, shield and sword which all reduce movement speed

[frail cave]

half of your movement speed reduction comes from that

[ripe bone]

🫤 ...yeah..lul..

[foggy hound]

could be from my playtime in the isle making it feel slower

[kind solstice]

Anyone up for helping me land and survive in Ashlands, currently have a portal somewhat close and have tried 6 or 7 times to land and died without placing portal

[foggy hound]

i'm down

[kind solstice]

Sweet

[foggy hound]

I dont have a lot of made food doe

[gloomy marsh]

Oh so you get skill by just tossing it and reeling nothing hehe

[steep tusk]

You get skill by "spending stamina" basically. Which you burn faster with bigger fish.

So if you're trying to farm the skill, get the biggest fish you have and dig out an area deep enough for actual water.
Then just toss it in and catch it repeatedly.

[quasi vault]

First thing you should always spend iron on first is the iron pickaxe, then nails for the comfort upgrades and the boat

[steep tusk]

Uh.. ?

Why would you prioritize Iron Pick over the boat?

[quasi vault]

Because you need the iron pick anyway and it will greatly accelerate how fast you get the rest of the iron

[steep tusk]

I would strongly debate the "greatly" part of that statement.

[quasi vault]

GREATLY

[steep tusk]

*Mildly

[quasi vault]

It will be very much faster and you need a lot of iron

[steep tusk]

It will be slightly faster, and you never stop needing iron.

[quasi vault]

If that's the case even a mild pickaxe damage increase (which it is more than mild) would save a ton of time

In reality, the very much not mild damage increase is 2.5x to 3x more damage so you get the iron just so much faster

[quasi vault]

It was the worst strongly debated point I have seen in my entire life

[steep tusk]

I stopped caring when you clearly are set in your opinion, so there was no point in continuing. 🤷‍♂️

[quasi vault]

How is it an opinion? You will just mine 2.5x to 3x faster depending on how much you upgrade it and have so much more durability making the iron mining just so much faster, how can anyone argue agaisn't it?

[steep tusk]

👋

[quasi vault]

By the way I was not speaking to you but answering someone else question with a very good tip that will greatly speed up the iron gathering.

[frail cave]

they're not wrong. i still keep an antler pick or two on me on top of the iron pick in case it breaks, but the higher damage gives you a much better chance to break fragments in one swing, which would require a high damage roll on the antler pick, or be impossible if it's too many fragments in one swing.
-# though since it's just a matter of patience, i could understand both sides, i don't make the iron pick right away either.

maxing it out right away also seems pretty expensive for your first load of iron, but even the cheap first upgrade is a noticeable increase from antler (18 -> 38)

[steep tusk]

(So the context here is Antler vs. Iron?)

Because there are those of us who build the Bronze Pick

[frail cave]

...imma be honest, i keep forgetting the bronze pick exists. i've never made it, just don't see the point

[steep tusk]

Pain. 😭

[quasi vault]

The day you will realize that your bronze pickaxe cannot break silver you will wish you never made it and made an iron pick as soon as you could

[steep tusk]

Thank you for telling me what I will and will not wish with the assumption of what I have and have not done 👍

[quasi vault]

You're welcome, I know you are just refusing to admit it because of your ego but I know that you learned something and that's the important part

[steep tusk]

😂 lmfao

Believe what you will I guess.

[tired root]

I have started to craft Bronze pick in some latest runs, sometimes if I have found early Leviathan I have been able to mine more Chitin nodes with Bronze pick than with Antler.

[frail cave]

it's certainly not useless, but the difference between skipping and making it isn't big enough for me to consider spending more bronze than i have to 😅

half my playthroughs i even skip the bronze axe~~, and then sometimes i realize that if i do that, the next axe i get is either crystal or black metal~~

[steep tusk]

I will tell Scarlet you need a Bronze Pick 😛

[frail cave]

hah, we're past that point

[steep tusk]

Never too late.

[tired root]

"But I have Iron pickaxe alread.."
"Here, take this Bronze pick."

[steep tusk]

Precisely.

[quasi vault]

What I do with iron and upon entering the swamps is set up a forge near a crypt, first 50 iron goes into a level 3 iron pickaxe, that I use to quickly get about 400 more iron. I smelt some more to make nails and about 2 hours later I am ready to leave the swamp with a longship completely full of iron.

[frail cave]

i just take my sweet time with iron runs~

[steep tusk]

There definitely is a lot of running involved.

[tired root]

One never have enough iron.

[frail cave]

how so, with me in there

[molten mountain]

there are plenty of people who don't care about playing optimally ^3^

[steep tusk]

How so? Gotta run all the iron back to the boat. 😄

Weight limit enforces multiple running trips needed.

[frail cave]

i tend to walk a cart there, ready to roll out of it and fight enemies at full stamina

[frail cave]

swamp size usually limits that to 1 cart per playthrough.

er, trip

[steep tusk]

Meh. I clear all crypts, portal out every non-iron thing, then do a sprint-a-thon collecting all the iron to the boat for sailing back.

[frail cave]

kinda same, but i don't often get that big and juicy of a swamp right out the gate.
and also most of my recent playthroughs have been trying not to spend too much time in swamps as i usually do, only clearing swamps til we have enough iron for gear. (for testing purposes, otherwise i take my sweet time with everything i do)

[steep tusk]

"enough iron" 😛

[quasi vault]

I put all the iron in a cart that I bring from crypt to crypt until it is full then go to the nearest coast, make the boat and transfer the iron deadlifting 4000 pounds

[frail cave]

for building? never
for gear? in 50 years, but that's finite

[steep tusk]

The fact that Flametal isn't better than Ironwood hurts my soul.

[tired root]

I have started to take enough metals for Forge and upgrades with me for first trip to swamp so I can make a small outpost at the first Crypt I find where I smelt Iron and craft Iron gear to reduce trips with ship.

[frail cave]

on one hand same. on the other, i don't know how readily i'd replace the swamp crypt grind with ashlands grind the scenery isn't exactly more fun

[steep tusk]

Fair.

[true steeple]

It’s not supposed to be a replacement, its purpose is to allow building on lava.

[steep tusk]

I am aware...

[quasi vault]

And it is completely fine, like it should be completely fine for one person to share tips on how to play more optimally, after someone ask, to try to help them

[frail cave]

and i think it was a useful tip~

[zenith saddle]

I heard plenty of YouTubers talk about how you should plant seeds in the Meadows biome. I got a completely spawn-proofed and sizeable Black Forest island, and according to the Cultivator wiki page, Black Forest is a valid biome for all crops that aren't single biome-specific. Is there a reason why they're saying that or can I just as well start my farm on my completely raid-safe island?

[frail cave]

meadows are easier to keep safe

[steep tusk]

I don't think you can grow Plains foods in the BF.

[frail cave]

but if you have a black forest spot you know is safe, no difference

[frail cave]

well, can't do it in meadows either

[steep tusk]

Which is why Plains is best, as it can grow everything that isn't Mistlands 🙂

[frosty frost]

I don't believe there Is any difference between meadows and BF for the crops you can plant there

[frail cave]

but it sounds like they have a free space for a farm here already~

[steep tusk]

Ashlands farms when? 😏

[zenith saddle]

yea, Barley and Flax you can only plant in the Plains and Jotun puffs and Magecaps you can only plant in the Mistlands. I was just asking because I wasn't sure if there maybe would've been a growth speed bonus or so

[frail cave]

nah, it's always 4000 to 5000 seconds

[zenith saddle]

Thanks for the tip! I'll work out a nice little area on my safe island to build my farm on.

[frail cave]

(1-1.5~ hours, aka 2-3~ days)

[steep tusk]

This is what Einstein meant by "time is relative."

[zenith saddle]

I even waited for hours yesterday on it to wait for a raid to see if it spawned anything - It didn't, even if I get the popup and the red ring

[quasi vault]

Black forest is fine, only biomes you don't really want to plant things into is the swamps, I learned on a no map no portal hardcore run where I had to setup multiple bases that I could only grow turnip while at the swamp base and that it is an aweful place to live

[frail cave]

mountains too but i don't think that needs to be said

[steep tusk]

Mountains are pretty though.

[zenith saddle]

idk unless you wanna to a Shrek RP I don't see why you would wanna live in there anyway 😂

[steep tusk]

Some of the coolest-looking bases have been made in the swamps.

[frail cave]

the bigger trees are unbreakable. ignoring all the ranged enemies and wraiths being able to fly, you can make some pretty safe land bases there

[zenith saddle]

Oooh like a treehouse? Sounds pretty cool

[frail cave]

yepp~

[quasi vault]

Building in the mountain never even crossed my mind, went in and out

[frail cave]

that's where i live~

[frosty frost]

Also you can't plant anything exept fir there iirc 🙂

[frail cave]

yepp, only fir, not even pine

[steep tusk]

No, you used to live in the mountain.

Now you live on the Moon.

[zenith saddle]

I did think about building in the mountains.

Then I got shredded by a wolf pack. That's when I learned that the Mountains probably aren't the place I should go just yet.

[frail cave]

i live anywhere the moon shines

[steep tusk]

So you're constantly moving west? 😛

Winter owns an RV so they can live in perpetual moonlight 👀

[tired root]

I usually build small/medium outposts that are connected to main base on every biome and they also lead to different locations of the same biome through other portals. It's fun to build different styled outposts.

I usually use core wood on Mountain outpost, and build in the highest point.

[frail cave]

[heady granite]

haven't played in a while, what armor and weapons from ashland should i use for Fader

[steep tusk]

They all have different strengths, so there is no universally recommended setup.

[heady granite]

ah, so its balanced

but like armor wise, what do you prefer

[steep tusk]

Other than "Use Iron Mace for Bonemass" all of the bosses have multiple ways to approach them 🤷‍♂️

[heady granite]

it feels complicated, have you killed Fader?

[steep tusk]

Yes?

[quasi vault]

The pierce resistance of the root harnesk will help a lot agaisn't most of fader's attack. If you are not comfortable dodging his melee attacks consistently it is probably the right choice, altough if you use it you will have to be very aware of when your fire resist will run out and be ready to restore it otherwise any fire will surely kill you

[lusty light]

How do mods with coop work? Does the other person have to have the same mods?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[true steeple]

If you've already make a root harnesk, use it for pierce resistance if you want to fight him melee.

[heady granite]

what did you use

[true steeple]

If you use anything from ashlands that doesn't primarily use fire or pierce damage, it will work well

[steep tusk]

[true steeple]

And although you can see some of his bones, he's immune to spirit damage

[quasi vault]

Anything but weapons doing pierce or fire damage will do, it is not much about gear or weapons but about execution. Just take your time and I'd recommend waiting until the last 25% health to use bonemass

[steep tusk]

Bows and other pierce weapons work fine, they just take longer.

[heady granite]

ah alright, thanks

[true steeple]

If you have pierce resistance from the root harnesk, bonemass' power won't do much (it will only reduce the low blunt damage from the meteors), so you could use that armor and a different power if you'd prefer.

[steep tusk]

This is true for literally every boss the game has.

[true steeple]

Don't forget fire resistance barley wine, and make sure you're out of danger when its duration expires.

[steep tusk]

This is why I took Yag power tbh.

[quasi vault]

True, I used it because I'd rather use the flametal armor to give me more protection from anything that can wander in the fight. For the duration of bonemass with more armor you are still much safer with flametal armor though

[steep tusk]

Chads take Elder power into boss fights 😏

[true steeple]

The queen's power increases the physical damage of pickaxes, so if you ever feel like fighting with a pickaxe (but why?), that can help.

I don't think the elder does the same for normal axes but haven't actually tested it

[quasi vault]

Fader is immune to pickaxes

[true steeple]

He's not immune to their pierce damage

[quasi vault]

Sounds like quite a challenge

[frail cave]

huh, you're right, weird that the queen power buffs the pierce damage of pickaxes, since the elder power doesn't do that for the slash damage of axes

[steep tusk]

Let me have an attack animation for my cultivator.

[thorn spire]

I thought the pickaxe damage and pierce damage of pickaxes was separate. Same as slash/chop damage of axes

[frail cave]

they are

hence why i find it weird that the queen power buffs both, when it only needs to buff pickaxe damage

[thorn spire]

So Fader’s power and Elder power won’t help in combat

[true steeple]

Fader's movespeed increase can definitely help in combat

[thorn spire]

*Queens power I meant

[tired root]

For first timer tho it is locked behind defeating Fader.

[frail cave]

it only affects pickaxes, but we are talking about the hypothetical hellish scenario in which someone fights fader with a pickaxe

[thorn spire]

So queens power actually buffs pierce damage of pickaxes? Bye bye golems

[frail cave]

yepp, though the pierce damage is still gonna be pretty useless against golems, that's why they're the only enemy in the game that takes pickaxe or chop damage (only pickaxe, i'll just take any chance to reinforce that no enemy takes chop damage :>)

[true steeple]

You've just reminded me to do something I've been wanting to do for a while, hit a golem with a battering ram.

[quasi vault]

Queen's power will help if you use magic

[thorn spire]

We just witnessed some guy attempt to punch him to death

[true steeple]

He didn't do any damage, Fader regenerates too fast

[frail cave]

so my worry wasn't just a symptom of being bad at math

[thorn spire]

I know, I was just pointing out the attempt. I’m sure someone will try it eventually

If only for the views

[true steeple]

A black metal pickaxe would probably be possible, or 10 players punching Fader

[frail cave]

combining the pierce and pickaxe buff, that gives pickaxes a more than 50% damage boost against golems~~, probably enough to finally make them better than maces in terms of damage~~

[quasi vault]

The pickaxe probably do a lot less damage to golem then my abyssal razor especially since I can have a shield and parry them before doing a couple combos, they usually go down pretty fast

[frail cave]

pickaxes suck so bad as a weapon that even with the x2 weakness (and only x0.5 reduction to pierce) on golems, they're still not the best option

[tired root]

Literally unplayable.

[frail cave]

oh they're absolutely useable, and not far from the best option, but it's funny that even with such an advantage in terms of multipliers, they're still not the clear #1

like, maces just get x1, not even x1.5

[tired root]

I tried to land a joke about your statement that pickaxes suck as a weapon. 😅

[frail cave]

and i'm stupid~

[tired root]

Nah, sometimes it is hard to read something as a joke from the text itself. 🫂

[subtle parrot]

If you could hit faster with them they'd be a great weapon lol

[tired root]

Pickaxe vs all bosses when?

[frail cave]

that is one of their problems yea.
they also don't have a combo and thus no extra damage on repeated hits, and their hitbox makes it inconvenient to avoid multi-target penalty. unless you're standing on top of the enemy, you're almost always gonna hit the ground in the same swing

[true steeple]

People who complain about not being able to aim an attack vertically should use a pickaxe

[lusty light]

Is it me or is rolling not immune to damage anymore? Or am i just timing it wrong?

[frail cave]

just the latter 😅
i-frames start immediately at the start of the animation

[sleek jetty]

Is there a mod/way to increanse the limit when mining down?

[frosty frost]

I think i heard about mod for that, try asking in #mods-discussion 🙂

[sleek jetty]

thanks!

[pure jasper]

The askvins destroyed my tower in ashlands. Now when I enter the portal I drop to my death
any ideas on how to get back without dying?

i mean getting another feather cape would be best. but i dont have a secondary set

no idea how this is standing

Oh man its destroying itself

[stoic trench]

Eat enough health food to get over 100 hp, you can’t take more than 100 damage from falling in one fall

[pure jasper]

well. either way im dead, so let me try that

[stoic trench]

Yeah, if there are enemies down there it’ll be tough. Bring some healing mead, Bonemass definitely, portal mats of course. Good luck!

[pure jasper]

No enemies. as soon as i get the items back it'll be easy enough to deal with it

not sure if the portal's destroyed too if theres no footing

[stoic trench]

I would guess the portal will fall eventually. Could either build support for it, or bring a new portal

[pure jasper]

If the shield generator is destroyed

It doesnt drop the items it was made of?

[tired root]

It should, like most of other structures.

[pure jasper]

I cant seem to find Lox pie at all

In the cauldron. not played for 6 months, but i remember it being there?

[stoic trench]

You’re not in the PTB, correct? Should be in cauldron for sure atm

[pure jasper]

I am in ptb

I thought that might have been it but wasnt sure

[stoic trench]

||gorcha, then yeah the pie has been moved to the prep table||

[pure jasper]

i guess i gotta find that new attraction then?

Or no, i see it

[shadow fossil]

The building is very hard in this game i played a lot of games and i didnt had hard times building like valheim anyone knows why?

[true steeple]

What are you having difficulty with?

[shadow fossil]

Snapping foundations

[true steeple]

You can push the left and right sticks to change snap points, and I’ve already told you how to enable/disable snapping.

[shadow fossil]

It still doesnt work though

[quasi vault]

For most things I find it easier to change the snap point to a corner

[true steeple]

So you’ve pressed lb + right stick and snapping still doesn’t work?

[shadow fossil]

Ye

[true steeple]

A magnet icon will appear at the bottom of the screen if snapping is disabled, can you see it?

[shadow fossil]

Hmm let me see

[true steeple]

You’ll only be able to see it if you’re holding a hammer and trying to build a piece that has snap points.

[shadow fossil]

I think I dont see it

[quasi vault]

Yeah, switching the snap point to a corner in this situation either the bottom left or right will make it very easy to build from that position

[wraith meadow]

Friends can't seem to join our game if the one hosting has mods on 😕
But when we use to have a dedicated server, people could join fine even if the server didnt have the same mods.
Anyway to be able to host with mods, without other players having the same or xbox player?

[shadow fossil]

Ye ik but it will not do the base i like to make like in other games its pretty limited there is a lot of invalid snap points

[craggy zealot]

My game is currently launching the PTB version. Can i switch between PTB version and normal version, as long as I'm using different characters and worlds on each?

Playing a world with friends on the PTB, but wanting to start a solo modded world.

[true steeple]

Yes, you can switch and old saves won’t be affected, and new saves will be usable again in the public test

[quasi vault]

In fact the game give you a ton of freedom with snap point and clipping into one another, pretty much only your character being where you want to build something will stop you from building

[shadow fossil]

For example putting foundations on the ground make it so hard à lot of invalid/blocked snap points

[true steeple]

That’s because you’re standing in the spot where you’re trying to place the build piece

[shadow fossil]

In this picture i was on top of à foundation when im not in the foundation it works but then it dont work anymore

I had a hard time making a simple base

Its only easier when you put foundations everywhere which is so janky

[lapis terrace]

that's not a issue

[craggy zealot]

Having trouble launching modded at first, but I'm assuming it's because I'm on the PTB version? Should that be an issue?

[shadow fossil]

Standing in the spot what do you mean ? How im supposed to do then ? I cant fly

[true steeple]

Stand on the build pieces you have already made.

[shadow fossil]

I tried its the same

[lapis terrace]

that's all the issues

PTB and mods never works

[shadow fossil]

And sometimes its glitchy you will find it réd then à minute later i can snap it

[craggy zealot]

Reverted back to regular version, but still getting this error in Thunderstore MM: Error
Failed to start modded
The system cannot find the file specified

[lapis terrace]

--> #mods-issues

[shadow fossil]

Like for example how the game can not snap a simple thing like this ?

[true steeple]

You’re still standing in it

[shadow fossil]

Nope i was next to it not in it

[true steeple]

Just step back a little, does it still not work?

[shadow fossil]

I stepped back and that is the résult

Same

[true steeple]

Step away from the build piece

The hammer has surprisingly long range, you don’t need to be right next to what you’re building

[shadow fossil]

I said i already stepped away but its the same

Sometimes it is gréen Sometimes red

I think its a glitch

[quasi vault]

Tried to explain it to him in french since his game is in french, just ended up with a timeout

[lapis terrace]

it's because the rules are english only

[quasi vault]

I learned my lesson

[frail folio]

is this the right channel to reach for help with valheim connection issues ?

[steep tusk]

If multiplayer -> #dedicated-server
If singleplayer -> Here
If modded -> #mods-issues

[frail folio]

thank you very much

[lucid jewel]

just wondering before i craft a sword, did they patch power-emoting?

[frail cave]

holding secondary attack while mashing a key bound to a gesture like /challenge? don't think they have

[lucid jewel]

perfect, thanks

[shadow fossil]

Done then ? @true steeple

[true steeple]

Try interacting with it. You need a roof piece over it.

[shadow fossil]

Oh now i see i have to craft the houe tool? @true steeple

[true steeple]

Yes. That can remove grass and make terrain flat.

[shadow fossil]

How can you make à hole now ? @true steeple

[true steeple]

You don’t get pickaxes until after the first boss. For now, you can lower terrain by using ‘level ground’ with the hoe while targeting terrain higher than where you stand. Level ground is based on where your character is standing.

[coarse maple]

Does anyone know when the scythe is meant to show up? I’ve killed moder but the bog witch doesn’t have it yet

[steep tusk]

ptb discussions go in the ptb channels.

[frosty frost]

As Sevrahn said, and since you dont have the role to access #valheim-public-test you need to pick it up in id:customize 🙂 (the "i want to be a publick tester" role 😄 )

[coarse maple]

Ah right. Thanks 🙂

[flat pasture]

could someone explain why is the roof still unstable?

[tired root]

It needs better support, like Core wood.

[flat pasture]

really? why is this so complicated, we can't even sleep and now we need core wood? :/

[tired root]

With only wood you can't build too high buildings. Once you advance in game you get better supporting building pieces (like Core wood, which is obtainable from Black forest) and you are then able to build higher.

[flat pasture]

Thanks! We'll see what we can do

[tired root]

Building isn't that complicated, but higher buildings need better supports. GL!

Also there are building based channels like https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608 where people can give advices for building. @flat pasture

[subtle parrot]

Is it breaking or just red?

[flat pasture]

red, still, it's enough for now, just can't completely close off the roof, but we can sleep now

[urban hearth]

Any idea why my (host) animals are all nice and calm both when taming and when tame, but for another player their wolf keeps running around the enclosure wildly, even while hearts are rising, and their piglets (inside a stonewall enclosure, which is behind a stakewall) seem to get agitated and alerted every now and then for no visible reason?
Sometimes it seems like it's about a grayling that agitates them, but surely they shouldn't notice it behind TWO walls? Right?

[true steeple]

How close could the greyling be? They don’t need to be able to see it.

[subtle parrot]

Right on, yeh as Joel said, normal wood has its limits, so a small hut or something like that is easier. But if you use the environment, large rocks in the meadows or even building off trees (if you don't mind branches in your house a bit) they provide support and you can build fair sized houses with normal wood.
#screenshots message
Like this is all normal wood.

[urban hearth]

Probably 4 meters? But I don't think our main base pigs are any further away either, and it doesn't explain why my wolf stands relatively still while taming and theirs runs around wildly

[flat pasture]

nice nice, got it

[true steeple]

Is the wolf actually taming though?

[urban hearth]

Hearts are rising, so yes I think,

[true steeple]

Once fully tamed it will stop aggroing the piggies and should also stop running as much

[urban hearth]

It's also not attacking structures atm

The wolf is far away from pigs, these are separate instances

Do tamed wolves attack tamed boars?

[tired root]

No, tamed animals belong to same faction (player)

[shadow fossil]

I got that too lol

[hollow phoenix]

Having a very strange issue.
One of my characters has vanished from the character selection screen
Only two of them "Fenrear and Deblighted" Are there

Kess was the character I used to test the bog witch PTB
Valenholm is the world I used to test the PTB and I can't access that either

Anybody have any idea what happened here and if I can fix it?

[buoyant peak]

Characters and worlds are not backwards compatible between ptb and live versions

[hollow phoenix]

Well I backed up the world and characters before doing the PTB
then tried to put those same back up files to replace the game files after putting the version back to default

my only theory I have is that the characters and world were cloud not local

I wonder if that had anything to do with it

[buoyant peak]

It would 100% anything to do with it. The cloud saves must be replacing the files again

[hollow phoenix]

Yeah and I can't replace those files without steam overriding them with what it has in the could

I also don't know how to access where those cloud files are being kept.

I might be hooped on this one and all that work into that character and world might be gone.

[frail cave]

if the saves themselves are good ones, just not useable on the current live version, then worst case you just gotta wait for the live branch to catch up to PTB

[hollow phoenix]

yeah it did back up those instances into the cloud after leaving the PTB
before reverting to the live version so yeah I might be out of luck till the version catches up.

well
lesson learned for the future

[compact heath]

have you tried turning internet, off, replacing the world and char backups, and making sure "local" is selected instead of cloud for char and world? then turning internet on and seeing what happens? if that doesnt work you're only chance is to wait until PTB hits live where yoiu'll get both bacj

[raw moat]

If it's steam's cloud system eating your files, have you tried putting the world file in your local worlds folder, then seeing if it appears in your game off-PTB and switching it to cloud from there? (Worth trying in combination with Leng's suggestion of experimenting with disconnecting from internet/cloud.)

You could also try changing the filenames of the fwl/fch for your character and world when you put them in their folders, but I recommend only doing this if truly desperate. Changing filenames can make things a bit... wonky. The name of the world I did this to became "[original name] ([new filename])", which is pretty ugly. World was playable, though! (Not sure how it'd work on characters, admittedly.)

[faint shale]

just caught a boar, how do i start taming him? also, he keeps trying to break out how do i stop that

[raw moat]

He will try to break out so long as he can detect you. He must be calm (not attacking) and eating carrots, mushrooms, or raspberries. So long as he is fed and calm, he will gradually tame over the course of 30 minutes.

Moving out of range and/or crouching a little further away will let him stop detecting you and calm down. Other enemies like greylings can also panic them, however, so watch out for that.

[faint shale]

so when he is calm, will i have to stay near him for him to be able to tame?

or can i go about and do my own thing then come back

[raw moat]

You can go quite a ways away but I'd have to check exact distance

Unless you're jumping through a portal or sprinting to the other end of a continent you should be fine

[faint shale]

that might be a problem, because i intend to go mining

can i show you my map and will that determine if i can go that far or not?

[raw moat]

I checked the wiki and it's a distance of ~64 meters, which is

thank you, cat, i was not done with that message. It's about 3 workbench radiuses. You can send a screenshot and I can eyeball it, but I can't promise I'll be accurate.

It won't fail the taming if you leave the area, it'll just put it on pause until you return and it eats again. If this is a base area you plan to build in, you can always mine now, and return to finish the taming later.

[lilac coyote]

You'll get through more food this way but it probably won't be a problem.

[faint shale]

i intend to go to the part where it says cave on the right of the island

above the day 72 tombsign

[lilac coyote]

If you're teleporting anywhere it's too far.

[twin kestrel]

ok so i have a problem i think, im trying to create a backup of my worlds and characters, but i have everything stored in the steam cloud which leaves nothing on my PC to save all it has is steam_autocloud.vdf, what should i do?

i want to create a backup of things before i enable the new bog witch stuff

[raw moat]

Yeah, that's more than 64 meters, I think. Again, it will just pause the taming while you're away. Derek can fact-check me on this, but being that far should also guarantee no mobs spawn near the boar, so he'll stay calm and safe in the pen until you come back.

[lilac coyote]

You need to move things to local.

[twin kestrel]

i tried disabling the steamcloud for valheim but upon launching the game my characters and worlds were gone / unaccessable

ah wait hold on

i believe this is how

[lilac coyote]

Those were indeed the words.

[twin kestrel]

haha funny how that happened, sorry 🤦‍♂️

[lilac coyote]

It's all good.

[raw moat]

Yes, use that to move it to local, then copy it from inside the IronGate>Valheim folders. You can put it back on cloud save after you have the files copied elsewhere.

[twin kestrel]

do i need to play the world with the character before it can save

[raw moat]

Not 100% sure what you mean. It will be transferred to local as soon as you click the button; it should have an icon that looks like a floppy disc instead of a cloud next to it in the menu to indicate it worked. You don't have to open either character or world to transfer the save to local (or back to cloud).

Characters and worlds save separately, so make sure you transfer both to local, and make copies of both.

[twin kestrel]

oh okay interesting, yeah im not sure because i switched it to local, i can see the floppy disk, yet both folders still have steam_autocloud

[raw moat]

Hmm, can you tell me the file location you're using? You need to be in the Hidden folder AppData>LocalLow>IronGate>Valheim to access your save files.

[twin kestrel]

ah i see maybe i am blind, but i launched the character / world and now there are characters_local and worlds_local

[raw moat]

ah okay sounds like you got it

File explorer may have just taken a second to update what happened in the folders

[twin kestrel]

yeah :)

thank you guys for helping me out haha

[raw moat]

No problem! it's what the help channel is for. (and after how much help I needed to figure this stuff out the least I can do is pay it forward lol)

[raw moat]

oh, you're playing with a friend right? you should have them back up their character as well.

[twin kestrel]

my friend and i are trying to play together on a steam multiplayer server, and we are both in the beta but it keeps telling him failed to connect

[lilac coyote]

#valheim-public-test for discussion of the PTB.

[twin kestrel]

okay can you help me there then?

[lilac coyote]

We can try.

[faint shale]

what does upgrading pickaxe do?

[lilac coyote]

Improves durability.

[steep tusk]

Higher durability
Higher picking damage

Higher stamina cost too iirc.

Because reasons. 🤷‍♂️

[faint shale]

when do i unlock other sources of light besides standing torches

when i get iron?

[steep tusk]

Copper.

And then Iron.

[lilac coyote]

Or just Haldor if you count the Circlet.

[weak temple]

What are the drop rates for seeds for oak trees?

[steep tusk]

40% chance of drop, drop then rolls between 2-3

[surreal gyro]

when creating a new world, what does the start server toggle do? does it allow other to play when you arent on?

[lilac coyote]

No, it allows you to play with others when you're online.

[weak temple]

Is there a way to view servers without passwords only?

[raw moat]

All servers are required to have passwords. I recommend looking in #1024264966712340510 to find a server to join.

[topaz quarry]

I'm about to sail over to The Elder and try to fight him for my first time. Any tips?

[steep tusk]

Whack, dodge, whack

[topaz quarry]

Noted

[steep tusk]

It's very telegraphed and you can get 4 hits off between each stomp.

[faint shale]

i cannot parry draugur elite attacks

[steep tusk]

What's your shield?

[faint shale]

lvl2 bronze

[steep tusk]

Should be doable unless your food absolutely sucks.

[frosty frost]

Well they are big strong boys 😄

[faint shale]

it isnt though, they just break my guard and deal like 90 damage

[steep tusk]

Are they starred?

[faint shale]

yea i think it was 2 stars

[steep tusk]

....

That's like... the most important piece of information... and you left it out.

[frosty frost]

Then you are really not SUPOSED to parry them 😂

[faint shale]

and i just started this game so stop acting like im supposed to know everything

[steep tusk]

Well when you say "I cannot parry <enemy>" everyone is thinking you mean the normal enemy.

It's on you to "fucking" clarify that it is a starred enemy.

[faint shale]

like i said im new how would i know that it being 2 stars or not matters?

[frosty frost]

Have you not encountered any starred mobs until now?

[faint shale]

only animals

[lilac coyote]

That escalated quickly.

[faint shale]

this dude is just an ass for no reason he's really acting like im supposed to know to tell him if it is 2 stars or not 💀

[frosty frost]

Well then, starred enemies are quite a bit stronger than they non starred counterpart 🙂 you should be carefull when facing them

[faint shale]

like bro there are ways to talk to people

[frosty frost]

No he really wasn an "ass"

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, usually without swearing at them.

[steep tusk]

That's rich, coming from the person who introduced cursing to the exchange..

Also, we are not related.

[faint shale]

i can curse without being an ass just like you can be an ass without cursing, as you've just showed

im not gonna keep arguing i just wanted my question answered so goodbye

[steep tusk]

👋

[frosty frost]

Welp, you failed quite miserably in that case but bye bye 👋

[lapis terrace]

🤔

[haughty shard]

@topaz quarry hide yourself behind the pillars of the spawnpoint and the trees cause the Elder sends Roots over the air

Try to use fire damage weapons, it's its weakness

[formal lantern]

Anyone else experiencing a bug with the PTB where you can't get a fire or rested buff?

Also my stamina is stuck at 0

Nvm, I fixed the issue. Weird.

[jolly turret]

Wrong place to share this info Greyson 🙈
Please put all PTB stuff in the PTB channel 🙏

[formal lantern]

My apologies! I didn't know there was one. Thank you for letting me know.

[sick spade]

i was destroying some enemies and what is this guy?

cloaked figure

[subtle parrot]

It's Odin just checking on you, he doesn't do anything else

[sick spade]

noted

[subtle parrot]

The first time I saw him was after my first death, I had died to bonemass and since it was close to night I went to sleep after getting my backup gear on and went out to head back towards bonemass and saw him outside my base and almost freaked out lol

[sick spade]

im preparing for moder but there is swamp and mistlands all around the mountain

so im this far now

my beautiful portal setup

what kinda tools and weapons should i have for moder btw?

[frosty frost]

I recommend wolf or fenris armor set or combo of them, for weapon stuff you had in swamp (iron weapons) are good, the silver stuff you get in mountains is not really effective against them, also draugr fang (mountains bow) with obsidian arrows

[sick spade]

i main mace, is that ok?

i also have the draugr bow

im going for fenris set becaue i like my fast movement

im on troll set still 😂

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂 mace is great, for plains you can go with frostner but thats really bad for Moder

[sick spade]

ah ok

thanks

any food recommendations? should i go hp or stam or balanced?

[frosty frost]

I usually go with 1 hp 2 stam, but depends on your own playstyle 🙂

[sharp pike]

what do you recommend for Yagluth? 🙂

we've all got padded armor, frostner for the frost damage bonus, but any additional tips are helpful for sure

[echo sparrow]

the silver sword

[frosty frost]

Silver sword, Frostner or BM sword, padded armor or fenris set and ofc fire resistance mead, other than that some stam and hp mead can be usefull 🙂

[echo sparrow]

i bet frostner holds up tho--it always does

[sharp pike]

fire resistance mhm thats what we were missing for sure

[echo sparrow]

ya don't skip that

[sharp pike]

thank you!! its been a few years since we fought yagluth lol

[frosty frost]

All 3 i listed are quite similar in terms of dmg 🙂

[willow jungle]

Hello, I used to play Valheim back in the day a lot. I never had any troubles with playing with friends. One of my friends just bought the game, but we can't seem to join each others save file. Can someone please explain me how to join on others?

[molten mountain]

the hosting player will need to have "Start server" ticked

(you'd be surprised how easy it is to forget that step)

if both of you are playing through steam, i believe crossplay should be disabled?

[willow jungle]

Like this?

We are using Steam indeed

[frosty frost]

Yeah, if there is no need for it its better to dissable crossplay 🙂

[molten mountain]

yup, that should work! 👍

and your friend should then be able to join through the friends list on steam

[willow jungle]

That only works if we setup a community server

Without that I don't see the option to join through Steam

So summary: 'Join Game' only appears if we select ' Community Server' ingame. If we deselect it, we both don't see the option 'Join Game' on Steam

I remember back in the day that you don't need a 'Community Server' to be able to play with just 2 players, am I correct?

[frosty frost]

I think you still can, but if you are friends on Steam i would use the invite code

[willow jungle]

What invite code? Can you explain how it works?

[frosty frost]

When one of you start the server and press ESC when Its loaded up you should see 6 digits on top of your screen 🙂

[willow jungle]

This is what I get when I press [ESC]

[frosty frost]

huh, did you start server? you should have the code at top middle

What the... i dont have it there either...

[topaz quarry]

Late answer but thank you. I ended up making him destroy half a forest

[willow jungle]

After we joined each other on a Community server the game finally let's us see each other ingame, so we can play on a private 'server' (save file) now. Thanks for thinking along!

[frosty frost]

whats weird is that there is none even after starting comunity server...

[echo sparrow]

@topaz quarry aw, he even did some logging for you too? how thoughtful of him!

[frosty frost]

where did it go?

[topaz quarry]

Yeah but he screwed me over too. I died twice because he made me encumbered with wood. Still a nice boss though just stressful with the roots

[true steeple]

Did you enable cross platform?

[willow jungle]

No, we are both on pc

What is the way again that you can see each other live on the minimap?

[sharp pike]

press M and click on the 'share location' in the bottom right or somethin, forget exactly what its called but its in the map

[frosty frost]

open map and bottom right

[willow jungle]

Thanks!

[echo sparrow]

oh lol, that part is inconvenient--there's a hotkey to turn on & off 'auto-pickup' to avoid that possibility in the future, think it's "T" by default

[topaz quarry]

Yeah mine was V but I didn't learn that til my third try. Also I lost my bronze spear somehow. No clue where it went. I need like car keys for items because I keep losing everything

[echo sparrow]

omfg, i started maining spears but switched literally because I kept tossing it and losing it

[true steeple]

Join codes are only available for cross platform servers

[echo sparrow]

i wish the visual sparkles for dropped/thrown spears would be distinct and even more striking/obvious than for all the other dropped items, to at least assist with finding it, it seems like it can often end up clipped in terrain objects or something and thus be very difficult to find as is

[topaz quarry]

I main the sword now but it was a bronze spear and I'm dirt poor so yeah. Hurts to see it gone. I spent like an hour searching everywhere around the fight and didn't find anything

[pure jasper]

Wtf i left the game yesterday in a ship, today i spawn and theres nothing

[willow jungle]

Another basic question that I forgot the setting from... Where can you show your marks (icons etc.) on the minimap for other players?

[covert hinge]

Just wondering if there is anyone out here who's willing to help me progress in the game, I've gotten as far as Iron, don't have any iron armor just a bow and a pickaxe. Just looking for someone to help me progress the game and give me useful tips and info! Thanks in advanced yall :D

[steep tusk]

#1024264966712340510

[covert hinge]

Ohhh shit thanks, didn't see that one D:

[steep tusk]

Cartography Table

[topaz quarry]

How long does it take for stuff to ferment?

[steep tusk]

Wiki should have that.

[topaz quarry]

Oh yeah I forgot that exists

[covert hinge]

Is there any armor that's better than Iron?

[steep tusk]

Very, very yes.

Good number of us skip iron armor entirely.

[true steeple]

If you mean a better armor in swamp, root armor has damage resistances and less movespeed reduction, so that is better for some play styles.

[covert hinge]

Huh gotcha, I've really only gotten to Iron so I haven't a clue what's after so I was just asking

Don't wanna wiki it and spoil it yk, want the proper NPE

[true steeple]

Every biome has a heavy armor, with -10% movespeed and no special buffs (except for the seventh and fourth)
Most biomes also have a light armor with less defence, but more movespeed and unique buffs.

[steep tusk]

Just as Bronze was better than Leather and Iron was Better than Bronze, every following biome will have an armor upgrade over the previous.

[covert hinge]

Gotcha thanks

[steep tusk]

In terms of looks, biome 6 has my favorite.
But there is no way to keep armor "for looks" because it gets obsoleted in the following biome 😭

[covert hinge]

Nah I've gotten to swamps as my most biome

I've got a lot of content ahead of me :P

[steep tusk]

Indeed. And a lot of fun.

[covert hinge]

Gotcha, just need a duo rn. Mine is barely on and I don't wanna start fresh again D:

[lilac coyote]

That hurts, honestly.

[topaz quarry]

Hurts me too because I had no clue how to farm until that they reminded me of the wiki

[opaque python]

This is probably a stupid question but can anyone tell me how you unlock feasts? The food prep table is just showing regular food.

[steep tusk]

PTB content is to be discussed in the PTB channels.

[opaque python]

sorry!

[frosty frost]

You can pick up a role to see the ptb channels in id:customize 😉 (the "i want to be a public tester" role)

[opaque python]

Sorry, this is my first time ever on discord. How do I do that?

nm i got it. thank yoU!

[frosty frost]

[civic wave]

how can i spawn items? nothing happends when i type devcommands

i can't even press enter

[frosty frost]

Are you typing it in a console that pops up after you press F5?

[civic wave]

yes

[frosty frost]

Hmm, are you on a server?

[civic wave]

it's single player atm

[frosty frost]

So you are the owner of the world?

[civic wave]

yes

[lilac coyote]

Mods.

[frosty frost]

If mods are involved then try to disable them and you can try again

[noble marlin]

I have just started a new server in the new Public test. Will I be able to play the new update on the server I just created or will a need to create a new world? (when the update drops)

[tired root]

You can continue your world after PTB test is done and the patch is released publicly.

[noble marlin]

Okay, thank you!

[zenith saddle]

Is there even a way that I can fit a fir in there somehow? I'd really like to have one in that spot somewhere but there never is enough space

[frosty frost]

You could try to temporarily remove the core wood railing and stone flooring just so you give it as much space as possible, but the rocks might be interfering too much

[simple juniper]

I could use some help, me and my friend are trying to play, we've had our server for half a year and it's been running smoothly, but recently starting like yesterday, he can't seem to join the server. The server is open for multiplayer and we've made sure to type the same exact password.
Is there any way we can fix it?

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server <- help channel for multiplayer

[simple juniper]

Awhh ok

[spring frigate]

when physics dont physics

[lilac coyote]

No, more like when hitbox is larger than model.

[echo sparrow]

video game physics is more like a set of guidelines than actual rules

[lost lantern]

Hi, I think there are some missing pieces of grausten corner roof in there. Or i am missing something ? (like grausten corner roofs 😶 )

[true steeple]

The second and third pieces are for corners.

[lost lantern]

Yes i saw that, but i meant that i think it misses the left, or right (idk), side of each corner

[true steeple]

You need to use both of those pieces together to create the corner, it’s not a single piece like other roofs.

[lost lantern]

OOOOOOOhhhhhhh ok my bad, i thought the 2nd piece was a 45 degree and the 3rd was a 26 degree piece of roof

thank you very much

going back to build

[steep tusk]

It's not missing. It is a different roof style, so it doesn't use the same pieces as the previous ones.
Don't look at it expecting parity with Tar and Thatch.

[lost lantern]

I was stupider than that, because i knew that, but my eyes couldn't see the left AND the right side of each roof corner. I only saw a 45 degrees left corner, and a 26 degrees left corner... i realized there were no 26 degrees after i posted that 😅

I think i need some sleep

[bright reef]

do hybrid armor build works or i should just stick with 1 full set? im currently at swamp. not sure how i want to fight bonemass yet cause up until now ive been using nothing but bows

though i picked up a new weapon which is melee and ive been using it nonstop lately

[winged belfry]

Guys, i have found the merchant, but he dont sell any ymir flesh or the dverger circlet, is that normal?

i even tried to spawn ymir flesh using devcommands buy its saying "missing object ymirflesh"

[frail cave]

the item ID is YmirRemains
and haldor only sells it after a certain boss is slain, iirc either bonemass or the elder, it was changed back and forth a few times 😅

ah, the elder

[winged belfry]

i already slayed him

[frail cave]

in that world?

[winged belfry]

yes

[frail cave]

can you use listkeys?

defeated_gdking should be on that list if the elder has died in that world

[winged belfry]

oh sorry, i had a problem with the save of this world and i lost some progress, and in the save that remained intact i hadnt slayed him, so i think its that, thx for the help S2

[frail cave]

ooh, you're welcome!~

[winged belfry]

I was looking for ymir flesh for a long time lol

[frail cave]

yeaa it wasn't always locked behind boss kills 😅

[winged belfry]

thats explains why they never say something about killing a boss in the "how to get frostner" videos

[frail cave]

if a video's older than like a year, high chance it's using outdated info, the fandom wiki is the most reliable place around

[grizzled mural]

do dvergr camps how built in myst lights now?

[frail cave]

they always did, that's how they're never drowning in mist.
those lights also have a much bigger radius than the ones you can build.

[grizzled mural]

ah i see, last time i played i never say these big ones

[woven pond]

why cant i join my xbox friend

[steep tusk]

He doesn't like you.

[molten mountain]

i'm also thinking about doing this

• Heavy armor helmets lack the movement penalty, so they're ideal into a hybrid set
• All items of a set have the same armor value, So if a light armor breastplate has a better bonus (such as root armor's pierce resist), you could still go for a heavy legpiece and vice versa

[void elbow]

my base is taking weather damage under a roof! seasoned viking here with a very old server world (i have rendered old mistlands) today my castle started taking weather damage like all over in random spots as if i have no roof! (which i totally do have) any ideas why? should i rebuild my roof? could it be so old that somehow the new update has bugged it? any ideas welcome as id be very sad to watch this base turn to shambles.

[compact heath]

The new update is not out on live yet, only PTB, for PTB issues please use #valheim-public-test (There is a bug like this on PTB but this is the wrong channel to discuss) (Assuming you are playing the PTB version, if not then I apologize)

[cloud quest]

How do I stop allies from damaging my buildings?

[lilac coyote]

Allies?

[cloud quest]

Friends, other players

Need a Mod?

Get better other players who don't hit your buildings.

[cloud quest]

...

[hollow folio]

anyone else having trouble getting the PTB beta version to launch?

[faint shale]

so, a troll destroyed my portal and my boat launched into the air. now it is stuck lol. how can i fix this?

[proper lotus]

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows the date which the new update will be that isn't testing phase! Thank you so much!

[steep tusk]

PTB questions go in the PTB channels.

[knotty crescent]

hmm guys, is there any mod/config to make item that dropped by players (or not picked up by players) disappear after a certain time on the ground?

[frail cave]

in vanilla, dropped items despawn after 60 minutes (2 in-game days) if they aren't within 20 meters of a player base structure such as a workbench or campfire, etc.

(if they're 2 meters below sea level, they'll despawn even if they are within 20 meters of one)

(this timer still ticks down while the item is in an unloaded area, only the despawn has to happen while it's loaded in.)

[frosty frost]

When the testing Is concluded and bugs smashed 😄

[knotty crescent]

so if i break a boulder to put down a workbench and repair ship, i should break the workbench after so the items can be despawned huh

[grizzled mural]

building a tar/growth farm. one using eitr to kill them. how to i get the eitr and the tar to not despawn? because if i put a crafting table down to prevent that it prevents the spawn of growths?

[knotty crescent]

do you use mod? i'd just put down an item drawer so tars don't despawn

[median crystal]

guys i tamed asksvin but recived neck?

[grizzled mural]

my draugr farm keeps bugging out, the pile got destroyed for no reason. i tyoe "Spawn spawner_draugrpile" and i get spawn is not valid in current context. what is the proper command

[frail cave]

that is the proper command, but you gotta enter devcommands first

[grizzled mural]

thank you

[spring frigate]

Aside from dead raiser, what else could i have missed for queen's fight?

[willow raft]

No need for the cultivator, hoe, pickaxe and the axe.

[spring frigate]

oh well.. ye but i hold them with me anyway

[willow raft]

Put the potions there.

so you have a quick button for a potion.

[frosty frost]

I see a fellow cultivator carier 😏

[spring frigate]

it just bothers me to not have tools on me even if im up for a boss fight

[frosty frost]

Yep, same 😄 if i get then out of my inventory then next time i need them i have to look for them somewhere and i am mad that i put them away

[tired root]

Those carrots won't plant themselves

[stoic trench]

Never know when you’ll need to cultivate a boss arena!

[spring frigate]

anyway
im going in there

[tired root]

But jokes aside your setup looks fine, keep your distance and shield yourself with the bubble. Good luck!

[quasi vault]

Poison resistance

[spring frigate]

DAMN THIS STENCH >w<

[spring frigate]

wait, there is option to get posion from her?

[quasi vault]

yes

[spring frigate]

sigh

[true steeple]

If you have the staff of protection, poison won’t affect you

Try not to focus on using the dead raiser much (or at all), that’s the mistake that I made fighting her for the second time which was the only time I’ve died to a boss. You need that eitr to keep yourself alive, not the skeletons.

[tired root]

Good call, but Staff of Protection should be fine too.

[quasi vault]

I see mage die more than any other playstyle but still people act like the staff of protection makes it so you can't get hit for some reason. Your bubble can burst then you can get hit and poisoned so just have the poison resist

[shadow fossil]

Someone knows where to find the first boss area ?

[knotty crescent]

hey guys, apparently bepinexpack is bugged on my pc

how can i fix it?

[subtle parrot]

Use the red stone next to the boss stone

[shadow fossil]

Thats what i want to know where is the boss Stone ?

[knotty crescent]

there's a square stone

[subtle parrot]

The stone is where you spawned into the game. The alter is the place you fight them.

[quasi vault]

@subtle parrot I wish you a lot of patience if you are going this route

[shadow fossil]

Ok

[willow raft]

I die less when playing mage than any other playstyle, that bubble has saved me countless of times, anything will get blocked at least once and everything gets staggered if you parry with it on, except bosses.
I also have all my stamina for getting out of dodge and can cast skeletons on the go for a distraction.

[willow raft]

Asking in #mods-issues will probably get you better help.

[quasi vault]

I will add that into consideration along the dozens of people I based my statement on. Is it a fair comparison though? Are you comparing mage gear from the mistlands and further to plain gear in the mistlands?

[spring frigate]

god damn finally

[quasi vault]

Enjoy what's coming next!

[spring frigate]

i heard the stories already

[quasi vault]

It's a good sign that they lived to tell the stories

[willow raft]

Yeah, I've played bow and melee trough the game, I die the most with melee, bow does better but I still die more then when I play mage.

[shadow fossil]

Done i have a question how you get the pickaxe after Killing the first boss ?

[tired root]

The first boss drops materials for the first pickaxe. Craft it on Workstation with one Antler and 10 Wood.

[subtle parrot]

☝️

[willow raft]

He drops materials and that gives you the recipe to make the pickaxe in a workbench.

[shadow fossil]

Weird for some reason it doesnt appear on the crafting list did i missed something ?

[willow raft]

Picked up his antlers? Picked up wood?
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Antler_pickaxe

[shadow fossil]

Ye

I even have his trophy

[willow raft]

Trophy needs to go the the stone where you spawned but that is separate from his antlers, hard antlers should have dropped/

[shadow fossil]

its called hard wood well i have 3

That is what the antler is right ? @willow raft

[quasi vault]

He is probably not looking at the workbench, only his manual crafting despite both of you mentioning the workbench. I do admire the patience I am witnessing here, good on you, I just couldn't!

[shadow fossil]

I did look at the workbench the pictures are just to show the material i founded

There is no pickaxe in the workbench

[shadow fossil]

So what is the problem at this point ?

[real nebula]

You should only need a hard antler and some regular wood

[quasi vault]

An optometrist might be able to find the problem

[shadow fossil]

Its rather a glitch so your comment make no sense @quasi vault

[shadow fossil]

Ye

[real nebula]

Are you using mods by any chance?

[shadow fossil]

No

[willow raft]

Don't know, if you have the hard antlers, wood and a working workbench you should find antler pickaxe in the workbench crafting menu.

[shadow fossil]

I will try to relog to see if its à glitch

I finally see it in the crafting station it was a glitch i assume

[quasi vault]

They often give free consultation

[shadow fossil]

You need one im sure ye

[shadow fossil]

Thanks for the help though scarlet

[willow raft]

Now onto diggy, diggy hole and stabby, stabby troll.

[dark cargo]

do serpent trophies sink? havent seemed to get one except when one was caught up on shore

[real nebula]

They do, the only drop that floats from them is the meat

[dark cargo]

thats annoying and they are the only way to fish ocean fish right?

[real nebula]

Through the bait crafted from the trophy, yes

That said, it should not take too much effort to lead a serpent to a shallow shore and kill it there to recover all the drops

[dark cargo]

copy that, thanks!

[real nebula]

If you feel confident and have a decent bow, jumping on its head when you make the killing shot should let you vacuum most/all of the drops

[willow raft]

You can also attack it till it has a sliver of life and then jump attack it and land in the middle of the loot and get it that way.
Can be done with a bow, knife or even the harpoon.

[real nebula]

PTB questions to PTB channels please, read the pins

[brisk ore]

I’m just wondering if I make a new character can I switch between them or does it replace it

[steep tusk]

You can switch.

[fervent sedge]

hi, i've been stuck on the please wait screen on the manage saves screen for ever. ive tried everything, and didnt find anything helpful online. can anyone help?

[proper lotus]

When this update is live, will I have to start another playthrough? or will it generate the new swamps for the ones I haven't seen yet?

[true steeple]

New content generates in unexplored areas

[pure jasper]

I think i am gonna stop wasting time trying to play mage in ashlands, really a waste of time

[worldly basin]

can anyone help me plan some defences for my group's village? as the resident builder, i think it could help during raids and i'm unsure of what to do here that can still look aesthetically pleasing. We're currently in the Silver Age, pre-Moder

note that we do want to plan for expansions

[pure jasper]

You can build a water moat. They look decent. Raising dirt walls is a possibility but it looks horrible.

Well, it wouldn't exactly be a water moat

More of a moat really, only parts near the water would have a high water level.

But that's what I did, I didn't really have many issues.

I only had an issue where I got attacked by two trolls pretty early on, and that was trouble.

[worldly basin]

well we aren't near a black forest so random troll wanderers shouldn't be an issue

I guess i could try building a moat around the eastern side, where the river starts on the left

maybe back it up with a terrain wall to act as a sort of extra defence

if i weren't playing on the PTB, i could get it done a lot quicker with the Infinity Hammer mod

[spark pivot]

Hey i have a question, is there a way to transfer server ownership? I made the server to play with my friends, but sometimes i am busy or not available, i still want them to play when am offline, i found that i can add them as admin but not sure if that does it ?

[south timber]

if you delete the LocationProxy how can i bring it back and yes the world is moded ? and what happens if i dont bring it back ?

[lilac coyote]

#mods-discussion

[bright reef]

would this be big enough of an ocean biome to have a chance of a levathian spawning?

[muted furnace]

my valheim crashed and I lost a stack of scrap iron. I want to summon it back. I'm in devcommands mode but any time I do /spawn Iron 30 nothing happens. Does anyone know how spawning stuff works?

[lilac coyote]

Do you have devcommands enabled?

[muted furnace]

it says devcommands: true

in like the chat box area

I'm told I'm supposed to be able to hit F5 for a different box to type in, but nothing is showing up

[echo ore]

if ive run around a whole mountain at night time and encountered ONLY zero star wolves (about 30 of em), does that mean something is up? i know RNG is involved in getting 1 and 2 star wolves, but 0 out of 30? while possible, is highly improbable.

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, you need to type in the console, not the chat window.

[lilac coyote]

You'd only expect 3 statistically so it's not that much lower.

[echo ore]

expect 3 1 stars?

[lilac coyote]

There's a 10% chance of a mob being starred (9% will be 1*, 1% will be 2*)

[echo ore]

ok. is there any mechanic involved with whether or not if its Moder's mountain, or if the mtn is close to starting location or my base, or anything like that, that increases/decreases 2-star spawn chance?

[lilac coyote]

No, aside from getting zero stars at all during the day the rules are the same no matter where you are.

[muted furnace]

If anyone is looking for the answer to my previous problem, I had to go to steam -> valheim -> properties -> type "-console" in the advanced launch box.

then launch the game, press f5, "devcommands" , "debugmode" , and then I could spawn my iron back in

tq derek

[subtle parrot]

You'd have to send them the game file and they would have to start the server on their end or you'd have to make a dedicated server or use a dedicated server service. Probably easier to send them the game files though if you're on pc.

[granite compass]

does enemies still hit you with root effect?

[steep tusk]

Ask that again with more words.

[fallow comet]

i just started and they are at my base what do i do

[steep tusk]

Run.

[granite compass]

can they hit me even tho they are rooted?

[steep tusk]

If you are in range, they can hit you, yes.

Root is not a disarm.

[fallow comet]

skeleton came to help

[steep tusk]

Need to move where you're living further away from the Black Forest.

[willow current]

currently im using the berserkir axes. what cape would accompany it the best?

[steep tusk]

Ashen.

Asksvin Armor set, but Ash cape.

[willow current]

already made the flametal armour
woops 😅

[steep tusk]

If you prefer that, keep it.
But if you have the above combo everything on your armor is reducing your stamina costs, which is a massive boon for continually swinging with your dual axes.

[willow current]

true

should i go and make the asksvin armour instead then?

[steep tusk]

It is your world.
"Should" is entirely up to you.

[willow current]

i can if i should

let's just say i keep the armour, what cape would i use?

[steep tusk]

Ash is the better cape regardless of armor.

If you can make both armors, I'd say make both just to have them. And you can test out both and see which feels better.

[willow current]

alright, thanks for your help!

oh also, what's some good stamina foods that i can make

[steep tusk]

My food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat

Configurations Tab is your fast answer.

[lucid breach]

are there any legit solutions to poor performance near base

[willow current]

how exactly do i spawn asksvin hide

trying to see if i should make the armour set

[buoyant hemlock]

Spawn AskHide {number}

[willow current]

its probably the actual console now that i think about it
gotta fix a mod as it uses f5

unless i can change the actual console bind

[buoyant hemlock]

From what I've looked up it's a thing with Unity. Happens in every unity game I've played when it has to render a ton of stuff. I have yet to find a solution beyond patience.

[willow current]

could be having a bunch of dvergr lanterns

cant find f5 in the mods so now im left wondering
why cant i open it?

[lucid breach]

open world i get 100+ fps, near base like 40

[buoyant hemlock]

Did you add "-console" in launch options?

[steep tusk]

Better hardware also helps with performance.

[willow current]

done..

thanks for the help

[buoyant hemlock]

Single core power is the important thing iirc

[lucid breach]

@steep tusk thanks, ill try downloading more ram

[willow current]

wonderful

[buoyant hemlock]

Honestly my 8 core i7 performs worse than my friend's prior gen 4 core i5. Frustrating but this game as with many others leans on CPU0 more than any other. So single core processing strength is what counts not cpu count or RAM.

[lucid breach]

is there any way to limit how many objects in renders in?

[spark pivot]

Just to understand, all the files under appdata/locallow/valheim/.. ?

[subtle parrot]

I believe just the world files, .fwl and .db .. I'm not on pc myself so I don't know exactly, just regurgitating what I've read here tbh
#valheim-help message

[spark pivot]

Alright gotcha thanks

[buoyant hemlock]

I think there's a slider in the graphics options to limit the distance of rendering. Otherwise no.

[blissful lark]

im new on valheim i need a seed suggestion

[frosty frost]

What kind of suggestion do you want? 🙂

[willow raft]

BEEBObeebo is the one I play on, lot's of bosses close to start, a maypole and haldor closeby as well.
Hildir is a bit further and her dungeons are spread out, queen is also a way off.

[frosty frost]

oh, i cant read 🤦‍♂️

[willow raft]

Something else than if it's a drake punch it.

[sturdy folio]

Typical

Don’t discord when can’t read

[frosty frost]

Tbh, that is genuinely good advice 😄

[sturdy folio]

Same as don’t discord drunk

[frosty frost]

Welp, cant promise i will not do the first one, but the second one is doable 😄

[sturdy folio]

Sleep

Have a Valheim dream, come back refreshed

[frosty frost]

Oh i am wide awake 😄 just wasnt paying much attention

[willow raft]

If you follow that advice we won't be seeing a lot of you.

[frosty frost]

I will have to focus a bit more, thats all 😉

[willow raft]

You'll need some Aderall then ;p

[frosty frost]

Nah 😄 willpower will be enough for now

[willow raft]

We'll see 😉

[scarlet girder]

Im about to fight bonemass. Question: can I have The effect of two potions at The same time? Like Poison and stamina potions.

[thorn spire]

sure can!

just can't stack two potions of the same type.

[subtle bay]

How do I cook Deer meat

[frosty frost]

You build a cookingsattion above your fire 🙂

[subtle bay]

OK thanks, I'll try it now.

[subtle bay]

Think I did it right, what do you think?

[willow raft]

Looks good, now some blueberry sauce and shrooms for sides.

[tired root]

You mean couple of blueberries and one mushroom?

[willow raft]

Eh poetic license 😉

[tired root]

As the visuals go, one raspberry counts as one meal

[subtle parrot]

Tbf they are very large raspberries

[willow raft]

It's not the size that matters it's how you use it.

[subtle parrot]

Not sure that applies here lol

[willow raft]

You sure?

[subtle parrot]

No I'm not lol

[shadow fossil]

What do you have to do to get another pickaxe when you lost one ?

[lilac coyote]

Make a new one? Find the lost one? Confused by the question.

[shadow fossil]

If you die you will lose your pickaxe so what do you have to do to get another one ?kill à boss again or ?

[lilac coyote]

Depending on your game settings, everything you've lost should be in the gravestone.

[shadow fossil]

I think the gravestone is very far away is there à way to get it quicker ?

[lilac coyote]

Quicker would be making a new one, obviously, but only if you have the resources.

[true steeple]

How far have you progressed through the game?

[shadow fossil]

Ok well Do you know Where to get hard wood ?

[true steeple]

Core wood? From pine trees in the black forest.

[shadow fossil]

I cant tell i was busy building didnt rushed

[shadow fossil]

I dont know how it is called in english because im playing in french but its the hard wood the first boss give you when you kill him remember ? The deer boss

[true steeple]

Eikthyr, the first boss, drops hard antlers.

[shadow fossil]

Ye in french it was called "bois dur" so how to get that ressource again ?

But quicker

[true steeple]

Summon eikthyr again, but kill him faster

[shadow fossil]

So you have to kill the boss everytime you lose something ? Man its à hard game

[true steeple]

How did you lose the pickaxe?

[shadow fossil]

Died

[true steeple]

It should be in your grave

[shadow fossil]

Lol i died a lot in the map i dont know which one is it

[true steeple]

You never need to kill any boss more than once (Unless playing on a hard difficulty that deletes items when you die)
You can remove or cross death markers, and they show the day you died on.

[shadow fossil]

Ye but i died à lot of times in the map and i didnt went back to some of them because i didnt lost that much resources and i dont know which one is the one that has the pickaxe in it so its kind of hard i will have to return to them one by one i wish there was a QOL about that

There is à lot of qoĺ missing though

[true steeple]

Such as what?

[shadow fossil]

Not dropping items but i think i just found an option about that

[lilac coyote]

The gravestones are marked with the ingame day which should help you realise which is which.

[shadow fossil]

Someone knows what ressource you have gather to buy something in the trader ?

[lilac coyote]

Coins or treasure.

[true steeple]

He accepts coins, but you can sell shiny things such as rubies and amber to get more

[spring frigate]

how hard to kill is morgen?

[lilac coyote]

Very.

[spring frigate]

wlel great bbecause this is first thing i see as i approaches ashlands

[lost swift]

I've never found them to be too problematic - they're difficult if you have lots of other things around trying to hit you from behind.

Don't let 'em near your house, though, they'll destroy the place

Rolling wrecking balls of terror

[spring frigate]

now i get why people said it was hard, idk what that flying thing that just appread is but im cooked i think

[lost swift]

lol yeah those are the "other things around" that I referenced.

[true steeple]

You'll be fine if you're dodging everything by jumping and rolling

[spring frigate]

EVEN BONEMAW SPAWNED IN WATER CLOSE BY

WHAT IN THE ODINS NAME IS THIS PLACE

(ashlands yes ik but stil lwtf)

[tired root]

I came in like a wrecking ball -Morgen, probably singing

[frosty frost]

I must say that you chose quite the selection of ashlands enemies to fight 😄 just a few more and you would have catched caught them all

[lilac coyote]

Psst, caught. Stupid English

[steep tusk]

Spawning a bunch of Bonemaw and Serpents to watch the ocean wars is fun.

[tired root]

Munin warns you about going into a war zone.

[frosty frost]

Oh, yeah! I knew it didnt seem quite right! 😂

[spring frigate]

omg im alive

yet

[tired root]

Focus now on creating a safe space where to leave portal. I usually ||raise earth walls with Hoe||.

[true steeple]

Did you bring materials for a shield generator?

[spring frigate]

i have them but what this shield is for

[quasi vault]

You got lucky to land right next to a putrid hole though, you can get safe in there and you will find some essential materials in there

[true steeple]

It will block projectiles. In ashlands, projectiles rain from the sky occasionally and can set flammable buildings such as portals on fire.

[tired root]

For shielding a base structures from environment. Wood can catch fire.

Also from projectiles mobs shoot.

[true steeple]

It also prevents lava from creating the projectiles

[spring frigate]

how do i unlock 4th lvl of gauster/magic table

[echo sparrow]

also workbenches, also stonecutters, also presumably just about anything else with wood as an ingredient--good way to get coal fast though, even when you weren't intending to

[tired root]

You need to get some materials from Ashlands.

If you can't access that channel, go to id:customize

[civic estuary]

Does anyone know anything more when the bog witch update is going out of public test? I thought mostly public test take around 1 week.

[buoyant peak]

No

[frosty frost]

It takes however long it needs to take 🙂 usually its at LEAST the one week, quite often more

[civic estuary]

Yeah iron gate takes his time mostly, but i forgive them because the game is so much fun haha

[lilac coyote]

Don't remember ever seeing one take just a week.

[civic estuary]

The ashlands public test was 1 week i thought, or am i wrong?

[true steeple]

Iron Gate is slower than many other developers because it is a smaller group than those other developers

[frosty frost]

They also give this game A LOT of love 🙂

[quasi vault]

And they care about the product and are not forced to respect deadlines to the detriment of their game

[steep tusk]

[steep tusk]

A truly rare thing in today's development market.

Well no, but in a lot of languages, inanimate objects still have grammatical gender which can cause confusion.

[turbid meadow]

does bonemass spawn archers of any sort

[frosty frost]

I think it can spawn skeleton archers, but no draugrs of any kind

[mellow lodge]

i don't /think/ it can spawn skeleton archers

[frosty frost]

I am not too sure either, maybe he can or maybe not 😄 better be prepared tho

[mellow lodge]

i cheesed bonemass in a way that took a long time, and skeleton archers would have been super annoying. and i didn't see any

[frosty frost]

wiki says just "skeletons" will go try in game 🙂

[quasi vault]

skeletons can be any types im pretty sure

[quasi silo]

wait he can spawn skeletons?

I might be blind

[true steeple]

He just spawned an archer on me

[mellow lodge]

ok, i guess i was just lucky. i cheesed with staghammer, so i woudl have assumed skeletons would have complicated that

[turbid meadow]

im just tryna figure out if i should go iron mail or root harnesk for bonemass

[frosty frost]

I would go iron, not a lot of pierce dmg there

[turbid meadow]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[true steeple]

Both are good enough, even troll armor reduces enough damage if you also have poison resistance mead

[turbid meadow]

plus im thinking of terraforming an arena with walls

[subtle parrot]

I haven't seen any skeletons the last 2 times I fought him, just blob ads

[small nest]

make the surroundings above sea level so you wont have to worry about leeches or movement penalty

walls are also quite good addition

[turbid meadow]

yeah ima do all that, should reduce my risk of having to deal with any stray archers that may naturally spawn nearby

[mellow lodge]

i love a good terraforming and boss preperation, but i wonder if bonemass is hard enough tht you'll want to do that. starting at dawn after clearing the area should be good enough.

but i don't judge. i'm usually over prepared

[turbid meadow]

depending on how costly it is to make walls i might just level the ground and leave it there

[quasi vault]

If you don't forget to add bones to your wooden club to make it level 4 bonemass is really easy

[turbid meadow]

do you have to resummon him if you die

[mellow lodge]

no, he will still be there

[turbid meadow]

free

[subtle parrot]

As long as it's not super marshy I don't bother with terrorforming, but if there's a lot of little bumps and dips with water and not much space to run around the skull I do flatten it out a good bit

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i flattened the area out a bunch, which ended up being a waste really. i also dropped workbenches around

[subtle parrot]

Yeh I haven't bothered with that much prep since my first run through

[mellow lodge]

and i ended up making a tiny outpost in a nearby high tree

the outpost was worth it though. on the coast, and ended up a good spot where i sailed out a lot of ore

[subtle parrot]

I usually have a portal in a little box close by, but nothing too drastic

[mellow lodge]

i might go back and renovate that treehouse. they are always fun to build

in theory i want to track down the fire sword. and then the new content when that drops. but at this point, i'm just making up stuff to do

[quasi vault]

Yeah that and getting most of the gems from the fortresses are probably good ideas, the sword is really cool even if it's not the best, it's close enough

[mellow lodge]

yeah, i've done 5 fortresses so far. so doing more of those makes sense

[zenith saddle]

If I downloaded my Valheim save file locally and then don't have Internet when I play it, I can just re-sync the game later on, right

[coarse shell]

yo guys I am about to fall into depression here

i was playing with someone on their server when my internet cut out for 5 minutes and when i tried to reconnect, it gives me the wrong password error.

tried reinstalling steam, the game, nothing works

funny thing is that I started a server (not community) and it didnt even ask me to add a password and my friend managed to connect to me

[echo sparrow]

did you message the person and ask if they changed it--maybe they crashed too, and when relaunching it was changed

[shrewd pumice]

guys im tryna build a roof for my base buit i have got no idea howwww

[coarse shell]

we tried different passwords, nothing works

and the game didn't crash , i just got disconnected. we both restarded but still the same. seems like something got corrupted on my end but can't figure out what. i did an integrity verification and all seems fine. my character is there, just can't connect anymore

[echo sparrow]

oh that is weird then, the host cannot even get in?!

[coarse shell]

i meant she tried different passwords but none of them work for me, she can start the server just fine

[raw moat]

I recommend looking in #building-tips or posting in #building-screenshots / #building-discussion with more specific info on your build!

[echo sparrow]

that's the weirdest issue, I wish I could tell you more--if you haven't already tried, maybe posting in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 to see if someone more familiar with servers has a similar experience and fix?

[subtle parrot]

Or possibly #dedicated-server

[echo sparrow]

mmm that's probably even better

[coarse shell]

ok fixed it

i think the ISP did something to my internet settings because they remotely restarted my router. now i can connect again

Why do i get 1 carrot for 1 seed and 1 seed for 1 carrot?!

[dull cipher]

Hi, do I need to create a new world once the Bog Witch update comes out fully ?

[mellow lodge]

no. you just need some unexplored swamps

[dull cipher]

Oh that's fantastic, thank you for the answer!

[stoic frost]

hey we started playing our save on the new update/public testing and we're trying to find the plains boss ||yagluth|| but we've been to 2 spawns and it hasnt been at either of them

does anyone know why this is happening or if we are missing something? its even marked on the map but nothing to see

[mellow lodge]

you go to where it's marked on the map, and there is no altar?

[stoic frost]

nothing yea

[mellow lodge]

how are you making it visible on the map? some dev command?

[stoic frost]

from a rune, getting the location of it

[mellow lodge]

do you have any mods installed? that's odd

[frail cave]

did you check those vegvisirs before any recent update?

poi locations in unexplored areas get shuffled on updates that deliberately change worldgen, but these markers are on the character's map, so they don't move along with the poi

checking the vegvisir again will give up-to-date locations

[stoic frost]

this makes alot of sense thanks

[mellow lodge]

interesting edge case, makes sense

[stoic frost]

yea we did find the boss way before and then went there with the new update

though we found another sign nearby that location so things are working out

[frail cave]

lucky, rarest vegvisir in the game

[lilac coyote]

Happens to many.

[true furnace]

Hey does anyone know what can cause growths not spawn on tar pits? I have one that only spawns one
Perhaps one was lead to a distant place and it doesn’t respawn, or maybe because it’s too close to a black forest? (About 25m)

[lilac coyote]

Have you built anything near it?

[true furnace]

Nope

I’ve raised the ground and made it plain, it doesn’t prevent spawn but it was spawning underground, now i lowered it and it’s fine, but still only one spawning

[scarlet girder]

So, I defeated bonemass. What now?

[buoyant peak]

Go to mountains

[scarlet girder]

How do I found mountains? Already Explored a few Islands, find none

[past cairn]

sail further

[buoyant peak]

They're probably one of the easiest biomes to find, you can even see them at a very long distance.

And the fact that you do, means that it's likely that the mountain in particular has all the resources you will be looking for

[true furnace]

I’ve figured it out, nevermind

[steep tusk]

The same way you find mountains IRL? Look for raised pieces of land?

[mellow lodge]

maybe also turn your render distance to max, so more easily see mountains in the distance?

[frail cave]

that's normal, only 1 spawner per pit is a respawning one

[plush osprey]

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Failed to send data k_EResultNoConnection

Only a few players cannot connect to the server and receive this error, the majority can connect without problems

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[true furnace]

Afaik it’s always 2 per pit

[lilac coyote]

It's between 1 and 2.

[junior thorn]

So ive been having crashing issues lately out of nowhere, and I cant find the crash logs I've gone to local/temp/ but there is no irongate file.

any suggestions?

[scarlet girder]

So, best way to find mountains is findind the woman seller and asking her for quests, she will mark mountains places for you, just find it ^^

Cutting multiple trees or stacking a bunch of logs to then be cut? -> Two handed, as it doesn't suffer the AoE reduction.

still needing some advice on this one ^

[hasty hamlet]

i see on the wiki that caught fish need to be made into raw fish in the cauldron, I go to the cauldron and cannot make raw fish. I'm on the new beta branch

what am i missing?

PTB discussions go in the PTB channels.

Any advice on killing serpents with or without the use of harpoon and dragging to land since they added stamina drain?

[steep tusk]

Without = Frost Arrows

[frail cave]

i simply lure them to shore by letting them bite the ship regularly so they don't lose aggro.
they no longer escape at 15% health so you can just kill them in the shallows and then jump into the water to grab the scales. (if they're too deep, build a wooden stair to jump off of - the faster you fall, the deeper you dip)

[fading dirge]

hey does anyone know if starred wolves don't spawn on nights with a full moon? i've been trying to find a 2 star wolf to tame, but so far all i've found is regular wolves and fenring

[steep tusk]

There is nothing that special about spawn rules.

Good morning,

So, I haven't played Valheim for 1-2 years and decided to get back to it. I remember having a boar and wolf farm was a pain in the *ss. Back in the day I had a lot more practice with it. Two of the wolf farms still work, that are not near my base, this was an old Greydwarf farm.

However, the boar and wolf farm at my base both don't work. There were for example two boars in the left cage and three in the right cage. I removed those and placed the 2 boars back, but they simply refuse to eat (can't find the food). Also the wolves can't find the food.

I can't find any differences between the boar and wolf farm, compared with the two working wolf farms. Can someone please help me out?https://medal.tv/games/valheim/clips/iWqXCufmvJRFYzpE4?invite=cr-MSw1SWksMTg5NDM2MDMwLA

Are these like... compact cruelty farms? (Can't see the images atm)

Because I know they updated some of the spawning rules that changed how you had to build them if you really wanted to go that route instead of just building a normal farm where they have room to walk around.

[steep tusk]

Yeah, you'd have to look up the new designs if you're dead-set on not building them a nice space to live.

[fading dirge]

could be wrong but i think the issue is that the wolves and boars can't get to the food since the full wall is in the way. try using a half wall so the food is exposed

[willow jungle]

The farms I've build are automatic and will/would spawn baby boars and wolves faster. Since they are out of range of the 'herd', otherwise they stop breeding when they are 5 or 6 too close to each other. So this is way more efficient than having a normal living space

[willow jungle]

The farm in the first screenshot works, second doesn't, design is the same. But I can't figure out why the farm in the 2nd screenshot isn't working

[steep tusk]

In the word of Obi-wan:
You must do what you feel is right, of course.

Personally I could never make such a thing.

[willow jungle]

I rather have an efficient/automatic farm 🙃

[fading dirge]

it might be the roof, i know lox can't breed with a roof over their heads so it may be that

[steep tusk]

The only one you realistically need is the wolf one tbh.
Because you get all the Leather Scraps you could need from mining Iron, and you stop needing Boar Meat entirely after the Swamp.

[willow jungle]

You need boar meat for breeding wolves

[willow jungle]

Was that always the case? Cuz it has worked with the roof in the past

All these scraps are from the automatic farm

To give you an example

[steep tusk]

Which, to be fair, you don't exactly need either, because you stop needing anything from wolves after the Mountains 🤷‍♂️

[fading dirge]

i'm not sure. i never had a roof over any of my breeders, and i've never made a lox breeder so idk if it's just for the lox or if it's all of them. you can always try it though and if it doesn't make a difference just slap the roof back on

[willow jungle]

Do you know if there are more current/newer wolf/boar farms?
