valheim-help

[mint coyote]

ah ok, havent made that yet

[lucid dawn]

are there people here who have vallheim on xbox, it's just that my problem is that the game was in my game pass and now it's been removed from there and I need to go into the game to take the saves from there and transfer them to steam

[grave arrow]

do I have to put a small fire under the new mead kettle? it doesn't seem to want to go on the stone one

nvm -I got it with some on some off stone fire

[scenic sphinx]

black sword or porcupine for plains boss and next zone?

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword is BiS vs. Yagluth.
And both of those are equal concerning the Mistlands.

[frosty frost]

Of those two 100% BM sword for yag, he is very resistant to pierce and porcupine does more than half of its dmg in pierce at lvl 4

[serene tangle]

not a big difference. Silver sword specifically for Yagluth, but not so good in the next biome

[frosty frost]

For Yag is best to take silver sword, frostner or BM sword 🙂

[steep tusk]

Really wish Silver Arrow had the same stat spread as Frost Arrow tbh 😦

[sinful panther]

its because of where you placed it.
they only grow on absolute flat surfaces with no object above it at all.
meaning : all logs block it because theyre not on the same "field", your stone arches block it because theyre no flat wall, and most importantly :
youre not allowed to build ANY form of overhang above the vines.
my server sadly is down atm, i couldve showed you a picture of our " storagehouse" - it basically got its roofend exactly on the outer wall. even a 1M woodpiece would stop your vines to grow

[zenith saddle]

Wow, thank you! That does explain a lot... And also frustrates me a little. That's pretty restrictive.
I guess I'll skip on the ivy on that house then, as it'd be a massive pain in the ass to get it to grow. I will have it grow on other houses however.

[steep tusk]

Can grow it and then add the arches later afaik.

[thorny oak]

can you still level weapon skills by hitting a rock

[true steeple]

No, only pickaxe skill, which strangely doesn’t increase from hitting enemies

[thorny oak]

is there any way to grind a weapon skill up without just fighting a million enemies

[true steeple]

It’s best to let skills level up naturally as you progress

[turbid oak]

358 black metal is needed to make 1 of each weapon + shield and upgrade them to lvl 4.

But realistically you should be able to get by with 200-250 for your weapons and black metal chests

[thorny oak]

do skills level slower as the skill level gets higher?

[true steeple]

Yes, so eventually you reach a balance between the skills you’re gaining and the skills you lose to dying.

[frosty frost]

Unless you stop dying 😄 then you will end up at 100 ||(but we all know that will most likely not happen xD)||

[quasi vault]

Doesn't the blackmetal pickaxe cost like 120 blackmetal to upgrade to max by itself?

[buoyant peak]

It's also the easiest metal to gather

[jagged yacht]

Hi guys, quick question. Are there differences between Islands? Are some more dangerous than others?

[steep tusk]

Uh... what?

Map is randomly generated.
Islands just... are.
What is "more dangerous" is the different biomes.

[frosty frost]

115 black metal 🙂

But yeah, its plentifull. 🙂

[quasi vault]

I guess it mostly depend on whether you want to use blackmetal or iron for chests but 300 blackmetal is probably a good minimum if you don't

[subtle parrot]

The iron chests are more space efficient, I think you can fit like 3 of them in the same space as 2 bm chests, so overall per square meter you're getting more storage

[jagged yacht]

Some stone runes talk about being more peaceful places or some sort. Or like some runes have more boars near them and talk about it on it.

[frosty frost]

You mean this?

"This land is hard and wild but we who are brought here are harder still. Take comfort, traveller, in the gifts before you, the good wood and stone, the fruits and flowers of the forest.
Look also to the wild boar who roam these lands. They fear fire and the hand of man but they can be taught to obey it. Go quietly to them and let them eat of your stock. Roots of the ground are their pleasure."

[cursive dew]

is it normal that its taking me +2 hours to find plains boss or is it really bad luck

[frosty frost]

quite normal imo 🙂

[subtle parrot]

It was likely talking about biomes, not necessarily islands themselves as many islands have several different biomes on them. But the closer to the center the more meadows and black forest you'll find than further out, and meadows is considered the "training biome", and is fairly peaceful except for at night.

[cursive dew]

Damn it was so easy for the other biomes

[subtle parrot]

Plains boss is also usually easier to find than his vegvisir

I got really lucky and found him on the first plains I ventured into cause I was heading towards a sealed tower, well this playthrough anyways

[scarlet girder]

Im not seeing any Stone with Yakuth location in the Plains. Where is The Stone? Some hidden cave?

[subtle parrot]

It will likely be in a Stonehenge looking structure, but they're pretty rare, you're more likely to find the boss before his vegvisir

[scarlet girder]

Like a huge Stone you mean?

[frosty frost]

Like stone fingers reaching from the ground, that s the location you summon him at

[scarlet girder]

I mean The stone that indicates The Boss location in the map, get It?

[subtle parrot]

Something like this

[scarlet girder]

Ohhh ok

[frosty frost]

As Fukov told you you can find that at the stone henges, stone circles usually with some berserkers, also at the stone "gates", but its often faster to search for his location itself, which is the fingers reaching from the ground, get it? 🙂

[scarlet girder]

Yep! Thanks só muchh

[subtle parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/the-boys-get-it-got-it-good-emma-meyer-little-cricket-gif-7767045167123758401

[quasi vault]

Keep an eye open for both! It's by far the hardest boss location to find so missing one of those rock formation can cost you a ton of time

[cursive dew]

What??? I found that already I think

[subtle parrot]

They don't always have one of the vegvisir, unfortunately

[jagged yacht]

Okay, is there a specific biomes that are good for bases/houses?

[turbid oak]

That's quite normal. In my experience Yagluth's alter has always been on coastlines. So sailing around the plains Is probably the easiest way to locate him. Much easier anyway than finding his Vegvisir which can only be found among the Stonehenge structures and those aren't super common themselves.

[cursive dew]

:(

I guess I will look for the altar instead then

[turbid oak]

Meadows and Plains are very flat
A lot of players place their endgame bases in the plains since it's where you can plant everything except 2 crops from the Mistlands. And if youre lucky, getting a Plains base situated near a Mistlands can give you access to that for farming those 2 crops.

Meadows are going to be more peaceful biomes only having threats in endgame at night time

Swamps, imo worst biome to build in due to the constant rain and dark and gloomy atmosphere. Tho, if you want that style, swamps can work for like a witch's style build

Mistlands are very mystical base locations, it by far as the prettiest grass texture, the one downside is the constant Mist that engulfs the whole biome. There are small pockets of Mist-less areas tho that make good farming plots since you don't have to place wisp torches.

Black Forest and Mountains are solid, nothing too worrisome about them except the cold from the mountains but once you have the mountains cape and onward cold isn't an issue

[jagged yacht]

Thank you, what about stone golems in mountain or trolls in forests. Will they not do too much building damage?

[turbid oak]

Trolls are easiest enough to deal with once you learn them.

Stone golems are slow, and they aggro the local Wolves and Drakes so if you run from them til they aggro something else. You can escape from them. Stone golems can crush through walls so be wary of that.

[jagged yacht]

Lastly, meadows can't grow flax and barley?

[turbid oak]

No they cannot
Flax/barley is Plains only
Jotun puff/magecap is Mistlands only.

[jagged yacht]

Thank you

[grave arrow]

Urm is it okay if the broom leaves the hut and heads out into the swamp?

[subtle parrot]

Yeh, you can even kill it if you want to

[gritty warren]

I was thinking of making bases in the mistlands before, but I don’t think it’s a great idea : P not sure if a ||gjall|| will blow it up

Plus idk how reliable it is in there..

[mellow lodge]

You could dig out underneath an infested mine. I’ve seen that on YouTube.

[gritty warren]

I can do that, but I’ve wanted to make a base on one of the stones high up

[royal marlin]

does anyone have a list of the hairstyle ids?

[primal hare]

Hi guys, this is kinda urgent; I have two different characters for two different worlds, one is a co-op game that I have with someone else and it's in the day thousands of progress; we're just about to kill Fader.
I accidentally joined this world with my new character, one I'm using for a solo playthrough, and was trying to go through the game step by step as I'mu supposed to.
I accidentally joined the endgame world with my solo character (who is in bronze age, btw) and now Hugin+Munin are trying to give me different hints, I'm afraid that I've messed up my solo playthrough or my character. How do I undo this? I tried recovering the second most recent save on that character but the ravens were still appearing.

[novel viper]

ravens arent gonna mess up ur progres ur just gonna have their messages in your log early so its safe to answer them

or u can just deal with them appearing all the time and ignore them lol

[primal hare]

tysm 😭

Yeah I realized i messed up and was like oh.

[ornate brook]

you could also just disable raven hints if you wanted to

[primal hare]

I kinda like them, just sad I messed them up
I'm probably gonna just reset the Raven hints on my solo character and let them pop up as I've made progress in the world.

Thanks guys!

[cyan jungle]

is this growing ? i cant see an indicator on them(the vineberries)

[grave arrow]

unless there is something built further up the wall, yes

it will say healthy or needs more space

[cyan jungle]

i cant see the message

[grave arrow]

sleep?

may be easier when light

hopefully you have it out a little from the wall?

[pliant tide]

I don't have characters save files after 2022 for some reason. any idea why?

[quasi vault]

@pliant tide They are cloud saved, you can move the files to local though

[frail cave]

Hey folks, could anyone please recommend me a reputable server host site?

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[frail cave]

Ah thanks

[primal hare]

if the broom in bog witch hut dies, does one respawn? it went out of the safety shield and started fighting stuff, really disappointed about it

[small nest]

its jsut hillarious how broom can enter berserker mode and slaughter everything it sees

[patent timber]

how do i use the black forest buffet platter? ive tried putting it on a tray, just consuming it, flat surfaces, etc, it won't attach to anything

[frosty frost]

Try a table 🙂

[small nest]

equip a tray and press building selection option, this should work

[patent timber]

i tried to put it on a table, i just get the "use the blac forrest buffet platter on what?" message

[small nest]

you cant put it on item frames

[frosty frost]

You need to open the tray menu

[patent timber]

oooh, that worked. i didnt realise it had to be done like that. thanks

[frosty frost]

sorry, wrong reply

[little trench]

say i base in meadows, is there a "best nearby biome"?

for example, maybe plains has a lot of useful drops from mobs so i wouldnt have to walk far to get to it

[quasi vault]

Ideally you want to be close to a black forest to make gathering resources from that biome a lot faster. But not so close as to make it so the enemies from that biome harass you while you are at your base

@little trench I would also recommend building on the coast

[little trench]

what im asking is, is there a biome that u need mats from, regardless of what stage in the game you are in?

[subtle parrot]

You always need iron

[little trench]

problem is iron gets depleted

im asking about stuff like blueberries and other respawnable things like drops from mobs

[subtle parrot]

From my experience, not so much.

Maybe needles, I like the needle arrows, cheap and easy

[quasi vault]

Plains mobs drop from the fuling is why I like to build in the plains, otherwise there's way to go get any material you might need from other biomes with portals

[little trench]

ok so base nearby plains?

if anything

[subtle parrot]

Or in plains

[little trench]

well i like peaceful base location

anyway ty question answered :)

[subtle parrot]

Plains is quite peaceful imo
No worries

[quasi vault]

As you progress through the game even the meadows become less and less peaceful as every boss you kill add enemies that can spawn there

[true steeple]

They only spawn at night and without stars so they aren’t much of an issue

[coral sparrow]

Can anyone lead me to updated guides I think those on youtube are outdated or just general tips not full blown tutorials

[mellow lodge]

for just playing the game?

[coral sparrow]

yeah

[quasi vault]

Keep a full belly and try to have the rested bonus at all time is a good place to start

[hollow mantle]

What exactly are you looking for?

[coral sparrow]

how to progress further, base defense/management, recommended seeds, etc.

[true steeple]

Jumping allows you to perform various animations such as attacking or eating/drinking without slowing down

[coral sparrow]

Spawned on a weird seed with 3 deer, this game's like terraria where you can play other seeds with the same character and inventory right?

RbsgaPUBjT

[quasi vault]

@coral sparrow Wouldn't pick a seed as exploration is a big aspect of the game, any random seed will do. For base management it's best to use label for storage and ideally have a central fire to cover your whole base so that whenever you are there, you are resting and you don't need to worry about getting the rested buff. Progress is locked behind beating bosses.

[hollow mantle]

You’re unlikely to find a single video that covers everything. And very few that will do more than show you the basics. Partly because the game is still in early access. Partly because it’s not the kind of game where a complete tutorial (even in the form of a series of videos) is possible. It’s too freeform and procedural for that.

[coral sparrow]

alright thank you.

[hollow mantle]

You mean there are three Eikthyr spawns? That’s normal. Almost every seed will have three.

[coral sparrow]

literally just next to each other near spawn

[true steeple]

I found two right next to each other once, but never three

[hollow mantle]

That’s less common, but not unusual, or anything to worry about.

[coral sparrow]

two are next to each other the 3rd one is just a short jog away

[quasi vault]

Worst case scenario is that you have none of them other than that it just doesn't matter at all

[coral sparrow]

If i let my boars out will they follow me I'm planning to move bases

[hollow mantle]

No.

[quasi vault]

@coral sparrow They will not, if you want more it's probably best to trap a couple more where you want to keep them and conveniently they will tame while you setup the new base.

Wild ones are great at following you exactly where you want them to go

[coral sparrow]

do crypts respawn loot I marked ones nearby

[frosty frost]

Nope

[junior ingot]

but theres enough of them to get all the loot you need

[true steeple]

The yellow mushrooms respawn but nothing else

[serene isle]

im lowkey confused on how i should reach the elder

[stoic trench]

Gotta use a boat 😉

[serene isle]

raft or boat

[stoic trench]

Craft some bronze nails, make yourself a new boat 🙂

[lime hearth]

can someone help me i got black metal tools and im bad with bosses im on day 25 and i have still not taken the elder can someone help?

like join my server and stuff

[serene isle]

alrightyy

[tranquil lodge]

Would anyone be able to let me join there world to use the trader because I’m struggling to find him on my world

[lime hearth]

can someone help me please?

[true steeple]

Help with what?

[lime hearth]

like im kinda bad at the game like deafet the elder and stuff

[true steeple]

Get level three troll or bronze armor, a level three bronze weapon and only use food made at a cauldron. Don’t forget to rest, and make sure there aren’t any spawners or trolls nearby. Place a portal somewhere nearby, but not too close that the boss could destroy it.

[lime hearth]

alr but one question

[true steeple]

Make a fermenter if you haven’t already, mead can help for the boss and you won’t want to go to the next biome without it

[lime hearth]

can u like maybe join the server and help? 🙏

[true steeple]

Give it a try on your own first

[lime hearth]

alr

[subtle parrot]

Make a finewood bow and pelt him with fire arrows until he burns to death, if you don't want to get too close

[lime hearth]

i got fraugr fangbow

[true steeple]

His ranged attack is very dangerous, if using a bow try to stay at a medium range where he won’t use the ranged attack and also won’t melee you

[lime hearth]

and black metal tools but i got it from friends so i know a little of the game

[subtle parrot]

You're veery overpowered then lol

[lime hearth]

true

i love the game but i hate to play alone

[subtle parrot]

I only play solo, but you could put a post in #1024264966712340510 might get some hits there

[turbid oak]

Black metal tools, day 25. And stuck on the Elder.

When you need to kill Moder to be able to even smelt Black Metal.

[spark magnet]

Funny thing, that means he isn’t locked out of mist lands gear…

[gusty fossil]

First time player here. Have not done any bosses besides the first one in another world. I just came across an issue where i can't build further up lol. I am going to need atleast another 4-6 meters to finish off the Borgund Stave Church I am trying to replicate from Norway. Do i have to play the game until I can get Iron banded pillars before going up higher?

[true steeple]

You can chop pine trees in a black forest biome to go a little higher with core wood I see you’ve already done that

[gusty fossil]

Yeah I forgot to mention I just did that to finish that top part, It just needs an additional layer

[true steeple]

You could raise some terrain further if possible inside the building, but otherwise need iron/stone by progressing to the swamps

[gusty fossil]

would stone pillars get me there?

il skip the top part of this since thats kinda unmakeable

[true steeple]

Stone pillars should be able to, and if not iron pillars will almost definitely be able to do it. You don’t need many iron pillars to support wide structures so you won’t have to spend too much iron

[gusty fossil]

yeah width isnt the problem as these layers get smaller and smaller

alright.

[marble igloo]

how do i update mods for valheim or do i just reinstall them?

[lime hearth]

Does someone wanna join my server im currently on black metal

[tired root]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 There you can find some group

[lime hearth]

k

[wispy ether]

Bros, does the bog witch spawns in a old world? How far did you guys go to find her?

[tired root]

Any unexplored areas will contain new content. You need to find new Swamps.

[wispy ether]

Yeah I'm searching the swamps I never found but no sign of her hut

I'm unsure if I need to go far from the center of the world or stay close

[tired root]

It might take some time to find her but you surely will eventually. The icon of her location will appear on your map like the other merchants'.

[wispy ether]

Does it appear like them, you get close to the continent she lives and then the icon pops up on the map?

[tired root]

When you get on proximity of one of her spawn points it will lock her location there (when the icon appears on map) and shut down the other possible spawn points. Just like the other merchants.

[wispy ether]

Thats already a big help, thank you

[olive island]

Hey Valheimers! Please help me before I throw my PC out the window.

I have 2 monitors, I play games on 1, and have discord and browser/spotify/whatever on the other.

I have had this set up for years, have played Valheim for years, never had an issue at all.

Until right now.

Something has changed, I dont know what or how (I didnt change any settings), but now when playing Valheim my mouse wanders onto my other monitor. This means that if I'm clicking in the game, for example while fighting a troll, it actually clicks my other monitor.

It's driving me nuts. I've tried putting it on fullscreen mode, no different.

Please help!

[molten mountain]

do you regularly tab out from Valheim?

[olive island]

I used to before this happened, yeah

Trying to fight trolls, and instead am clicking random things on my 2nd monitor and accidentally ringing people 😭

[turbid oak]

She'll be in a newly generated swamp biomes. Look for any new swamps about halfway in the worlds. Roughly the same distance Hildir and Haldor can spawn

Swamps also tend to generate less once Mistlands start to generate, so if you get those you've gone far out

[novel viper]

i havent finished the new biome yet is ||the emerald flame|| the 7th boss

[true steeple]

Yes, it has the same marker as every other boss

[novel viper]

okiedokes thanks

[wispy ether]

I already found it, didnt go too far from the spawn to find more swamps instead of mistlands, but thanks

[urban hearth]

Doors can be used to shift things (less than 1m) horizontallywhen building stuff, but is there a similar trick for shifting things vertically?
Other than "free hand"

[frail cave]

the best vertical equivalent is core logs for a 50 cm gap. the vertical difference between the center and edge snapping points of a 26° cross beam is also 50 cm.
the door edges are less than 50 cm though, and actually pretty inconvenient for adding up to a full meter, i don't know what exactly the distance is. the first real horizontal 50 cm gap we get is in mistlands with the small black marble pillar, which's center snapping points are 50 cm away from the outer corners

[ripe merlin]

Am I crazy or did berry bushes used to give like 2-3 a pop?

Without any resource modifier

[true steeple]

It’s always been 1

[steep tusk]

You are crazy.

[ripe merlin]

[frosty frost]

They can now give you 2 because of the new skill, but they did not do that previously without world modifiers

[frail cave]

and for some reason they (all berries) don't play the double harvest sound when getting a double harvest, but that's not relevant

[frosty frost]

Hmm, i remember not hearing it when i got the bonus once, it might have been berries but i cant say i really remember 🤔

[steep tusk]

THERE'S A SOUND?!?

[frail cave]

yea it plays on everything but berries

[steep tusk]

I shall keep an ear out.
I've just seen the orange number +1.

[tired root]

For mushrooms there is the sound, both yellow and red.

And Mistlands shrooms.

[spark edge]

How do you set up a dedicated server?

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[subtle parrot]

It's like a "ding" bell/ chime sound

[small nest]

sir this is amazing, i apprieciate your creativity with building, furthest i got is wooden shack in black forest, this stuff is sick

[fervent bloom]

Will this pen be large enough for taming lox? I intend to make it bigger when they are tamed but in the meantime will this do?

[small nest]

for 2 of them, probably yes

[fervent bloom]

great

[small nest]

i suggest making the wall higher

[fervent bloom]

ok, which part?

[small nest]

these

on the image they look a little bit short

[fervent bloom]

i forgot to mention this is partly made into a hill

[small nest]

whoa, okay this is fine

if you wont aggro the loxes, its fine

[fervent bloom]

do they deal damage to these?

As im pretty sure enemies don't need to deal pickaxe to mine

[small nest]

nah, its terrain, nothing except the pickaxe can damage it

[fervent bloom]

Ok

[small nest]

yea they cant mine

[fervent bloom]

The lox are stacking together, is this normal?

they do it even if they are not spooked

[frosty frost]

Yeah, they love to go on top of each other 😄

[fervent bloom]

they are built like a brick so i suppose it makes sense

Kind of wish i could transplant my entire base to the plains with a click of a button

But it would be too much hassle redoing the logs

Next up: Tar, barley and flax

[mellow lodge]

anyone know if bats, wraiths, and ghosts can go down dverger spiral staircases? assuming a 8x8 square, with the staircase in the center

[true steeple]

Why those three enemies specifically?

Bats and ghosts probably can, but not wraiths

[mellow lodge]

those are the only raids that can bother a spawn-proofed island

[true steeple]

The ghosts can’t fly though

[mellow lodge]

trying to figure out if i need to bother covering the roof entry spiral staircase. oh, ghosts can't fly. good point

hmm. i saw ghosts on the island ground though. so they may not be able to fly, but they can spawn over water/cross water

but you're right, only the wraith got up in the base

[warm harness]

Does that second boss spawn that far from the middle normally? 😵‍💫

[naive inlet]

Is it possible to plant green grass (for decoration) in the plains?

[steep tusk]

Green? No.

[serene tangle]

I think it's OK. I cannot even see world edges on your screenshot, so that's like about 2km* at most. Pretty normal.
* - world radius is 10.5 km

[warm harness]

damn, i had to use a ship and even then it took almost 10 minutes to reach him

[frosty frost]

That really isnt much 😅

[serene tangle]

I once (one of 10 plays) spawned at a small island w/o even Black Forest and access to copper and hence normal ship.

[warm harness]

i guess it really is a viking game

[frosty frost]

So it was rafting time 👀

[serene tangle]

yes, one of the very few times I built a raft )

[warm harness]

that seed i also spawned like that

[serene tangle]

Other islands were like 100m away or less, but that's far enough to be unavailable just by swimming.

[serene tangle]

yes, like that

[frosty frost]

Tbh it might be interesting to play on that 🙂

[keen badge]

I could need help, i played in public test version and changed back to the newest update. but my bogwitch doesnt offer me the seafarer Herbs. i play version 0.219.14

[frosty frost]

You need to kill a serpent again, even if you already did i believe 🙂

[keen badge]

okay i try really thank you 🙂

[frosty frost]

The most i used rafts was when i made a floating bridge out of them, other than that i used it like once or twice

[steep galleon]

Will my gravestone despawn if i leave the world?

[frosty frost]

it should not

[true steeple]

No, gravestones never despawn.
If you quit the game immediately after dying, sometimes the gravestone won’t save. If this happens, load a character backup from the manage saves button on character select.

[keen badge]

I've got it. Finally, reaally thank you for your help

[frosty frost]

Nice 😄 and did you kill serpents before on this world and char or was this the first kill?

[mellow lodge]

hmm. so i have an enclosed room in the plains, and fog can get inside? is that normal?

[fair hatch]

Is this a small Mistlands biome? I've never advanced past Snow lol

[exotic hinge]

It could be, mistlands often boarder plains

[true steeple]

That’s definitely mistlands

You’ll want much better food before going in

[exotic hinge]

Naw, Jerky and Sausage for life

[fair hatch]

lmao I haven't started a plains farm yet so i'll get better food first. Thanks

[exotic hinge]

I have a dumb question, ||Whisplight, can it run out or get killed or something?||

[true steeple]

The wisp can’t interact with anything other than mist and exists until the wisplight is unequipped

[frosty frost]

Nope 🙂

[thorny oak]

is there a reason that I never seem to get raids that are more than two tiers below where I currently am and are thus extremely easy? The highest tier raid I have gotten is swamp enemies and I am halfway through the mistlands

does the region you base in play into it? I live in a meadow biome

[exotic hinge]

Region may be a factor, but I too live in the meadow and I've had higher raids there and lower raids in my plains outpost

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂 look here on list of the raids and on the right you have which biomes they can happen in https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events

[tribal elk]

What does yalls bee farms look like?

[exotic hinge]

I space them in a perimeter around my crops

[tribal elk]

Thats a good idea,

[exotic hinge]

in real life, they would help with pollination, and in game, when I'm collecting crops, I also collect the honey as it's all similar task

[exotic hinge]

#screenshots message
If you're using a 2x1 stone block like I am, keep at least 2-2.5 blocks of space between each beehive so they are happy

[chilly shadow]

I do something similar but just dedicated a strip of farm to them so they're all in one area.

[tribal elk]

That farm looks so clean

[chilly shadow]

Oh yeah, you got a way better looking farm than I do. I dont got that kind of patience so my "farm" is a hastily thrown up log wall. 😂

[exotic hinge]

I've avoided harvesting it because I get annoyed when I get the spacing wrong and crops die, but I appreciate the support

[glad flame]

hello 🙂

im new here.
today i buy fishrod
i catch few fish
buy i can`t cook it.

when or wher i can find recipes?
i have 2lvl cauldron

[exotic hinge]

With the update that just dropped, you process fish at a Food Prep table now

[frosty frost]

You need new prep table 🙂 and for that you need iron

[exotic hinge]

Processing fish turns it into a generic "Raw Fish", the number of which is based on the fish's quality. There are some fish you can cook differently, but probably not at your current point in the game I'm guessing

[true steeple]

Cooked fish is bad food in black forest and even worse in swamps, they didn’t need to lock it behind iron

[exotic hinge]

All things they can re-balance later, I'm not overly worried

[glad flame]

ok.
yes i just kill 2` boss and im looking for iron in swamps.
need bether food

thx for help

[exotic hinge]

For food, if you don't mind spoilers, ||Entrails and Bloodbags from Drauger and Leeches will be very useful||

[true steeple]

Keep an eye out for turnip seeds. They look like carrot seeds but yellow, and are much rarer. You need these to cook any of the new foods because they’re used to make a cauldron improvement.

[frosty frost]

They said that they have lvl 2 cauldron so they probably have it already tho 😄

[molten mountain]

this tbh, now there is even less of a reason to fish (until plains, at least)

[exotic hinge]

I dunno, I started fishing this update because the Carrying Capacity Potion requires Troll Fish, it's a pretty compelling reason

[cursive dew]

Is it possible for necks to spawn in water, with no land to stand?

[molten mountain]

i stand corrected 👀

[tired root]

Also Vananidir Draught which needs Perch.

[somber patrol]

I got raided like 10 times today. Yeah sure I was probably more then half time in the base but still. Comon, its too much.

At least player based raids seem to work better now.

[willow raft]

Could lower the raid setting in world ssettings.

[somber patrol]

Not if it isn't my dedicated server.

[steep tusk]

Reason #312 I won't do multiplayer 😉

[turbid oak]

If youre in the Mistlands than the Draugr, Drake and Fuling raids have been bested. once you defeat the biomes respective boss it Disables the respective Army raids. So you should have in the pool Seeker Raids to happen

[ionic onyx]

quick little question, there isnt a way to reset the location of Haldor and Hildar is there?, got a little too close to Haldor a while back and now he spawned in an odd location, the option to move seed isnt on the table either

[lilac coyote]

Define odd location?

[steep tusk]

Once they are in, they are in.

[vapid warren]

you'd have to roll back the world to before he was discovered

[ionic onyx]

by odd i mean on small-ish island in the middle of nowhere

yh i thought so, thx guys

[lilac coyote]

Ah, but you could just put a portal down and never have to worry about it again.

[ionic onyx]

yh could do but planned to make a small village around them, but where haldor is, its surrounded by water but oh well

[mellow lodge]

no way to pick up and move a feast when set, yeah?

[thorn spire]

I think you can remove it with the serving tray, but if you've eaten any, it'll disappear.

[mellow lodge]

hmm. so you think if you have a 10/10 feast on a table, it can be moved?

[thorn spire]

I think so, yes.

[thorn spire]

Maybe try with another piece of food first.

[mellow lodge]

wiki agrees with you

[thorn spire]

lol that's where I got it from.

Haven't tried myself though.

[mellow lodge]

haha. well, i've got a 10/10 ashlands feasts i can move. and i guess i can just start eating the others

my table location turned out to be horrible

[steep tusk]

Location location location.

[dusk ermine]

when cultivating / placing tree saplings do i have to place them a few meters apart or can they be close?

[thorn spire]

Give them at least 5m

[dusk ermine]

hm. some that i planted very close to eachother grew though.

[thorn spire]

they might, but I've seen some fail to grow because they're too close to the slope of land.

[dusk ermine]

what do you reckon

[thorn spire]

might grow. you can see one is too close already

remember you need enough space for each tree trunk when they reach maturity

[dusk ermine]

how long does it take to grow?

I guess I'll find out which ones grow; trial and error.

[compact heath]

Trees don't need cultivated ground and yeah the usually need to be a bit further apart than other crops, some might grow and then a sapling will then be too close as the model gets bigger too

[compact heath]

between 50m and 83m20s, or about 1.67-2.78 in-game days

[dusk ermine]

50 irl minutes? 😭

[compact heath]

yes and thats the minimum time

[dusk ermine]

well these two grew, also great to know that i dont need cultivate 😂

[compact heath]

Trees do not need cultivated ground, vegetables and mushrooms do, and vines need it before they get established but not after they have attached to a wall (so it is a bit complicated)

[dusk ermine]

What are these? are they saplpigns because theyre everywhere now

[compact heath]

thats the default meadows sapling things or whatever they called, they spawn when the world is created

[dusk ermine]

do they grow into anything or nah

[compact heath]

nope

[dusk ermine]

k thx

oh and i know that i f you explore something the new updates dont update in that part right? @compact heath is there any major updates incoming so i dont explore all my world

cuz i dont wanna restart my world to see the new update so

[lilac coyote]

Well, there's a new biome to go, and probably more bits and pieces.

[compact heath]

The Deep North will be released but we do not know when, its being developed right now, it is located in the far North of the map. No one knows yet when its going to be released, except for "when its ready"

[dusk ermine]

I reckon ill be good then 😂. looks like the map is MASSIVE

im new to game so

Is the Deep North the final biome? I heard someone in the chat say that.

[compact heath]

Yes its located in a half moon / sorta crescent shape in the north, it has been confirmed to be the final biome by the devs

[dusk ermine]

cool ill just avoid the north for a while

[compact heath]

sometimes new content gets added though, like the recent bog witch update which required an unexplored swamp

[dusk ermine]

so if i step a single foot into a swamp does that count the entire swamp as explored?

[compact heath]

If there will be another smaller update like the bog witch or hearth and home before or after Deep North, we don't know - no the swamp will not fully be explored it just explores in a certain radius, so it depends on that swamps size, if its a 10x10m swamp it will be haha

[dusk ermine]

Slick

This games great, couldn't play it before with my american friend since u self host and he was super laggy but i got my fellow friend in my country and its real fun

[olive elbow]

Does a ward absorb monster damage? It seems like it does when they damage the base, but it doesn't look like anything is really being absorbed

[vapid warren]

no, it just warns you that its being attacked

[compact heath]

my favourite game and its also quite different on playing solo vs playing with someone, I'm currently in a phase again where I play a lot with others but 65% of my time was solo so far too

[dusk ermine]

How do I get rid of items? despawn them. so much junk i dont need

[compact heath]

Can drop them in water thats like 2m deep and out of range of workbenches and other base items, and they will despawn relatively quickly

also, once you find the trader Haldor, after you kill I think second boss he will sell you an item that unlocks a thing that helps get rid of unwanted items

[dusk ermine]

second boss is elder right

[compact heath]

yep, also lots of items do have uses, some quite a bit later, so it can be valueable to keep some things you might not use that much yet

[dusk ermine]

I see

[compact heath]

some items are not super useful and used very rarely but drop reasonably often, I always have way too many bukeberries for instance, that is one I use rarely

[dusk ermine]

yeah i chjuck those out

[compact heath]

and flint is not extremely useful after you made the upgrades that cost 25 flint to the workbench, unless you want a second base with that, and have made fling tools and weapons you might need. I always make the flint axe never the stone one

flint knife is good too etc but once you past that it becomes less useful

things like dandelions have uses though

[dusk ermine]

ive got a bronze axe

[dusk ermine]

what for

[dapper hamlet]

If the name isn't ||Frostner||, ||Draugr Fang||, or ||Mistwalker|| don't get too attached to it

[compact heath]

Meads, a cooking station upgrade needs them too, and food for a creature later, also yellow banner, and in May 2 seasonal items

[ripe kindle]

anyone got any rp servers me and a buddy can join?

[compact heath]

#1024264966712340510

[compact heath]

didn't even make the draugr fang in my current playthrough, Huntsmen bow is better for fuling camps imo... some stuff is a bit op but plenty of items are super strong if used with the right playstyle

[dapper hamlet]

Yeah everybody just plays differently. I'm more of a melee person so I don't quite have the bow skills

[compact heath]

Huntsmen bow doesn't alert monsters as much as other bows, can snipe fulings 1 by 1 without pulling additional ones with Huntsmen. works so well. I often completely change what I do in different playthroughs, I also used battleaxes a lot recently, can also be fun

[dusk ermine]

is it worth gettig bronze pickaxe @compact heath i have the antler pick atm

and is the bronze atgeir the best brozne weaopn to craft?

[compact heath]

I like getting it, but you can repair the antler one easier because it just needs a workbench instead of forge. Depends how much you like getting more copper and tin to make bronze

The atgeir is a great choice but so are others as well

[dusk ermine]

i find my self using broxne axe for combat, and flitn spear

[dusk ermine]

well i assume itll make it easier to gather copper and tin if i have brozne pick

[dusk mountain]

I personally always skip bronze and just go for Iron, bronze doesn't unlock any new ores you can mine, so it's not worth imo

[compact heath]

If you want to only make 1 bronze weapon atgeir definitely works because it have good damage for the biome and area damage and knock back. If you want to have an advantage in the swamp you could also make a bronze mace

[dusk ermine]

well the surrounding biome to my home is black forest which ive mainly been in

[compact heath]

It will make it a little faster yes but also means you need more of the material

[dusk ermine]

isnt reparing free? i have a forge

[compact heath]

Yes always free

If you always have a portal where you mine then it’s easy to go home and repair bronze pickaxe. But if not then putting down a workbench with 10 wood is easier then to put down a forge near your mining location

[dusk ermine]

Good point however, I for some reason find it okay to walk back and all 😂 somewhat enjoyable. Perhaps it's just the ambience / vibe.

[compact heath]

Totally acceptable

[dusk ermine]

well I just made a bronze pickaxe so 🤷‍♀️ will see how good it is

I can carry both pickaxes incase one runs out 😂

[compact heath]

I make it often too, and still bring the antler in case bronze breaks before I go back home

[dusk ermine]

LOL we read eachother mind

[compact heath]

Haha

[manic mango]

Bronze pickaxe is much better than the first since it lasts so much longer

[dusk ermine]

@compact heath all my trees grew I quite literlaly just rebuitl the whole forest

[compact heath]

Nice must have been far enough apart

Now cut it down again

[dusk ermine]

nahhh 😭

[gloomy finch]

Is there any way to BroadCast server restart message ?

[cyan jungle]

why is frank woods on the valheim wiki

oh its fandom

now hes gone lol theres a cauldron

[charred grotto]

yo

so for bonemass fight,does iron buckler do the job of blocking the swipe attack she does ?

[steep tusk]

Don't block. Roll.

Blocking is pointless.

[charred grotto]

wait roll can i key bind it to single key ? as of now its mouse 2 + space

[steep tusk]

Yeah, so the block button you were already planning to hit + space.

Which you can hit both in a fraction of a fraction of a second.

Invincibility frame window is also very generous.

[charred grotto]

so i saw a video a person blocking it bucker flawlessly

is it not viable anymore??

[steep tusk]

Which is a literal waste of stamina as bosses cannot be staggered.

Rolling costs less stamina and avoids all damage.

[charred grotto]

no i mean just to stop attack from doing damage

[steep tusk]

It's a waste of stamina.

[charred grotto]

i will try roll

yaa its a waste of stamina i just wanna know if i can do it with iron bucker if i upgrade it beyond lvl1

just to make sure i got options

[steep tusk]

Can you parry with Iron Buckler? - Yes.
Should you ever parry a boss? - No.

[charred grotto]

alright i will try with dodge roll havent got used to it at all

might as well start now might be needed for other boss fights

[frail mason]

is there a console command to debug portals? I can't remember what I set a portal to.

[azure kiln]

Can I raise wolves that have not been raised by me?

[charred grotto]

allright the dodge roll worked ,man carrot soup saved the day with stamina as well thx

[dusk ermine]

can anyone help me with my building (i stream in vc) i cant build certian things and it wont fix

[proper lotus]

Been at 2 different swamps and can't find any caves for Iron, haven't seen these stranger green torches before, has iron been changed? or am I just unlucky and have to keep looking lol

[true steeple]

Nothing has changed with iron, you’re just getting unlucky

[cyan jungle]

Bucklers are good shields and parrying with them gives more block / stagger iirc than tower shields, bosses dont stun but every other enemy does and the 2.5x dmg is sweet

[steep tusk]

Anything non-boss: Parry the crap out of it.
Bosses: Roll.

[jagged yacht]

Hi guys, do crops grow when I'm not near them? Lets say I set up farm in Plains and I go collect silver on other island. Will I return to ready to harvest or will the crops in state as when I left?

[steep tusk]

They update their timers for how long you've been gone when you return.

So effectively "yes".

[cyan jungle]

Yes, crops and mob spawners both will update that time has passed once you come back , but for mob spawners you'll only get 1 batch of mobs

[near rose]

Hello to all!
I bought valheim long time ago and I made a seed before "frost cave update" so it's obviously old world. I have a huge base here in plains that lags like hell whenever I'm in or near it. No mods. Anybody have guesses why that's happening? 😦 this is my main seed and lots of hours in it.

[steep tusk]

Probably because it's super old and built before all the optimizations came in.

[near rose]

so no way to fix it? 😒

[steep tusk]

Start a new world is always an option. 🤷‍♂️

[true steeple]

Staggered enemies always take 2x damage, not 2.5

[cyan jungle]

Dont bucklers do 2.5

[near rose]

damn, that's gonna hurt

[steep tusk]

Parry Bonus has nothing to do with damage.

[true steeple]

The parry bonus multiplies block armor when parrying, which is why some stronger attacks can be parried but not blocked

[cyan jungle]

but doesnt parrying stagger the enemy? thats what i meant

[steep tusk]

Yes.
And the Parry Bonus has nothing to do with damage.

[true steeple]

Enemies staggered through parrying or through weapon stagger always results in a 2x damage multiplier

[cyan jungle]

oh huh

[steep tusk]

Staggered enemy is always x2.

[cyan jungle]

ohhh that makes sense ok

[steep tusk]

No one reads the blocking sheet 😭

Two months of work, for nothing 😭

[cyan jungle]

is it in the game

[steep tusk]

Yes... developers of games frequently put excel spreadsheets into the productions. Especially in low-poly environments where a white, cell-based document would look perfectly normal compared to the rest of the UI and world.

[cyan jungle]

Why would i know it exists then

[true steeple]

#valheim-chat message
you wouldn’t because nobody reads the pins

[steep tusk]

Because it's pinned in #valheim-chat

[cyan jungle]

dont know why im expected to read the pins lol

[steep tusk]

Because it's Discord... and that's what you do in servers?

[cyan jungle]

Actually i type in them

[steep tusk]

Our species is doomed...

[cyan jungle]

Because i dont lurk?

i never saw anywhere that said theres spreadsheets pinned in general lol

[gusty fossil]

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it

[somber patrol]

I feel that the "player based raids" setting was "fixed" to adhere more to how it actually works normally. Right?

[true steeple]

I don’t think anything has changed with it, but nothing needed fixing?

[ivory grail]

hey guys i have a problem. I was mesing with the game a bit i wanted to build a fortrest and so i used "devcommands" for that purpous. Now i want to play with a new character and just live in the castle. The thing i i noticed when i use the hammer to build something it doesnt use up resources. I tiped "devcommands" again in the chat and it is "false" now but still it happens. When i use the crafting table or anything else it works fine. The only problem is with the hammer. So any ideas?

[frosty frost]

Did you also type in debugmode before?

[ivory grail]

so i tried doing devcommands -> true; debugmode; devcommands -> false but it didnt work. I am not sure if i should do it in the console or not, Right now i am doing it from teh ingame chat

but when i tipe in debugmode nothing shows up. i mean it doesnt indicate that i did something

[frosty frost]

You need to have debugmode true and then press B 🙂 it toggles the no cost building

[frosty frost]

you to type devcommands again so it Is set to true 🙂

[ivory grail]

so i write "/devcommands" and it becomes true. Then i tipe in "/debugmode" i press "B" then write them backwards and it should be fine?

[frosty frost]

Yep 😄

Without the /

[ivory grail]

but if i just write devcommands it doesn't work. I mean i need to have / infront

[frosty frost]

Thats weird, it should not be there, but whatever works for you 🙂

[ivory grail]

the thing is when i tipe in debugmode and nothing happens

[frosty frost]

Even when devcommands are set to true?

[ivory grail]

yes

[frosty frost]

Wait, thats a chat, you need to press F5 to open console

[ivory grail]

in the console it doesnt let me use any commands

[frosty frost]

Are you on a server?

[ivory grail]

wait

it worked on the console but even when i pres B it still doesnt stop it

i mean it says "no placement cost true and false" but it still doesnt stop

[frosty frost]

Hmm, did you change any world modifiers by any chance?

It seems this might be the no cost modifier

[ivory grail]

i think i didnt

can i check

[frosty frost]

Go check, it would fit what you described i think 🙂

[ivory grail]

wher can i see or check it?

[frosty frost]

Oh, when you are starting your world there should be a Burton on the left side

[lapis terrace]

easiest way to disable devcommands, is just to restart the client 🤔

[ivory grail]

oh yes i found it

so it was on from the modifiers thank you verry much

[frosty frost]

Oh... Yeah.. That is true... XD

[lapis terrace]

just ALT+F4 and restart 😄

[frosty frost]

Completly forgot about that 😄

[novel sable]

Does Fire resistance potion stack with Yagluth Effect?

[steep tusk]

No.

[novel sable]

thx

[lapis terrace]

usually the same resistances shouldn't overlap or boost each other 🤔

just that the "better" of the option(s) should apply

[novel sable]

Yeah, I was thinking what's better against fire, potion or Yagluth

[lusty light]

Do shield just get deleted when they break?

[frosty frost]

no, you just cant use the stuff when it breaks 🙂 then you can repair it for free

[lusty light]

Well i think it bugged out then

[zinc lance]

Hey, can the boogy witch spawn in already traversed swamp biomes?

[frosty frost]

Nope, you need a swamp that has not yet been generated

[cursive dew]

Did this greydwarf just spawn inside my workbench radius?? Is that possible? Am I missing something to prevent spawns or is this because it's night?

[coral sparrow]

How exactly can I get a copper axe if I need fine wood to craft it which I can't get?

[frosty frost]

Bronze axe 🙂 and you need wood, leather scrap and bronze

You dont need any fine wood for it

[small wave]

Is there any ways\mods to minimize lag on main base? It grown pretty huge and a little unplayable rn...

[chilly shadow]

Try to eliminate moving textures as much as possible. Too many torches will contribute greatly to lag as an example.

[small wave]

Is there mods for this? :)

[chilly shadow]

I'm unsure, I play console so I'm a no mod player. You can try asking in #mods-discussion though and see if anyone's got any suggestions.

[lilac coyote]

Mods are unlikely to do anything to improve performance.

[small wave]

we have some, they definately doing bad things to perfomance :))

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion

[lusty light]

oh oops

Thought i was in there still

[steel thorn]

bog witch spawns in any unexplored swamp on a preexisting map right?

accounting for distance and all that

[frail cave]

yepp

[regal saffron]

I need help with building. Im watching a tutorial but everything keeps falling and destroying itself 😦

[olive island]

Is anyone able to help me with this? Thank you in advance 🩷

[molten mountain]

make sure the lowest pieces are properly connected to the ground 🙂

certain materials also offer more support than others (ie log beams allow you to build much higher than regular wood)

[regal saffron]

thank you so much🙂

[hard bramble]

hypothetically, is there a dev command that lets you remove the progress in a world, for example, remove the completion of beating the queen and fader? I know there's a reset biome command.

[buoyant peak]

removekey

[loud linden]

Did you find a solution?

[olive island]

Nope 😭

I just unplug my 2nd monitor when I'm on valheim now, as that's the only thing that stops me clicking random things while in game.

[loud linden]

My first thought is that Fullscreen is turned off. Can you check that in your Valheim Graphics settings?

[olive island]

It does this even with fullscreen turned on

[loud linden]

Could be the multiple display settings then. You're on Windows?

[olive island]

I am!

Haven't changed any settings at all, and it's only Valheim that's doing this. No other game

[loud linden]

Ah, that's curious. But, maybe just check Settings > Display and see whether your monitors are set to Duplicate- or Extend- These Displays.

[olive island]

I'll have a look now, thank you!

[final thunder]

Anyone know the differences between forge level 4 to level 5? Is the upgrade thing?
Because the list of items don't change to me...

[loud linden]

Yeh, it's an upgrade... upgrade. 😛

[lilac coyote]

Same as 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 etc

[quasi vault]

It allows you to upgrade things further and later on it will allow you to craft gear from more advanced materials and repair them.

[olive island]

Just looked, its on 'extend these displays'

I havent changed any settings for over a year, and have been playing Valheim fine until yesterday

[final thunder]

So I'm missing something there, because before the level upgrade I already could build the new gear and weapons 🤔
Thnx OG Derek, and Not Derek!

[lilac coyote]

Lol. Dammit Smiffe. Can I have my name back?

[loud linden]

I know that, particularly when I have inventory open, my mouse can move between monitors; it's only limited to the Valheim window on the 'play' screen.

[atomic otter]

your name's kind of cute! What was your old name?

[olive island]

interesting! Mine has just started out of nowhere. Can no longer engage in combat, or really do anything

[lilac coyote]

Derek...

[quasi vault]

Past a point the upgrade up to level 7 is just to be able to upgrade the best forge gear to max level

[atomic otter]

I vote to keep your new name

[lilac coyote]

Fortunately it's not up for voting.

[loud linden]

I don't know the answer, but it could just be a troubleshooting adventure. Try changing to 'duplicate displays', then check your windows update history and trial rolling back updates.

[olive island]

Thank you very much ❤️ >3

[loud linden]

I'm glad the transition surgery went well. If you want a soundboard for new names, let me know 😉

[scenic sphinx]

what is this

[loud linden]

It's a wisp fountain. It attracts wisps. Generally at night.

Although that one of my favourite item desciptions in game.

[lilac coyote]

Can't go wrong with an Aliens reference.

[scenic sphinx]

are they hostile

[true steeple]

No. They're items used to progress.

[loud linden]

No, they're a crafting item.

Unless you anger them. They're small, they're fast, they're basically glowing, sentient moth-bullets. Wisp at your own riskp.

[tired root]

Also during rainy days.

[frigid linden]

OK, anyone here got tips on building with shingle roofing? Or just generally roofs?

My method of building isn't exactly "artistic" but I want something that looks like quite nice (read: no clipping) and every time I build chimneys on a roof I have this issue where some of the roof seems to clip inside the wall - especially noticeable with shingle roofing. Any tips on how I can get rid of this?

Like I say what I do is functional for gameplay, it's just the snapping options all make it look jank as far as I can tell

[loud linden]

"They mostly come at night... mostly. But also if it's raining during the daytime." really doesn't have the same iconic ring to it.

[wild sequoia]

Guys, any news about fixing 100% control on the PC? mine still moves @lapis terrace

[subtle parrot]

Can you show some examples of what you mean? As well, there's the #building-tips #building-ideas #building-discussion channels you could find some roofing tips there, or see some builds from others in #building-screenshots or #screenshots

[slow wedge]

Why doesn't the music dlc include all the tracks from the game?

[lilac coyote]

Be use it's not updated yet. The GAME doesn't include all the tracks yet.

[dense wind]

i need some help with fps if someone doesnt mind. my base is getting to where its only 15 20 fps. i run a dedicated modded server so i assumed that was the case. but ive been testing. i took a back up. put in my game and logged in, the disabled all mods and its still terrible fps. i made a test character. 144fps. re activated all the mods on the test character. 144fps. so somehow my fps loss is tied to the character in the game? does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

[pliant tide]

does it work if I build iron only on top of the eitr refinery, and wood the rest? want to make a cheap cage for eitr refinery

or I can just skip the wood too, and put only iron with iron pillars on top of it if that works

[echo sparrow]

the refined eitr the refinery spits out will shoot of random sparks that damage players & objects, only the metal build pieces (like the iron 'cage' build pieces) and black metal are immune, though I haven't tested grausten, that may also behave like stone (not probably relevant the first time most people encounter the etir refinery)

[pliant tide]

do you know if projectiles fires only on top of it?

[echo sparrow]

the "cheap" method IMO is to dig a pit and put it in and just cover the top (or raise earthen walls) because terrain also blocks
it seems to fire from all angles, at the very least definitely not just upwards

[patent orchid]

Does anyone have a spare harpoon? My “friend” has ghosted me on the server and I had to start over.. currently on Xbox . Worth a shot asking .. 🙂

[mellow lodge]

if you want to cheat, which essentially what you're asking, you might as well just use dev commands and spawn in another harpoon. or you could just get in your boat and find some leviathans

[patent orchid]

I thought you can trade and visit one another.. and like to play the game as is..

[scenic sphinx]

he barely takes dmg, watahell do i do

[mellow lodge]

hit him in the butt

[true steeple]

When you return from mistlands, unequip yagluth's power. It's useless because you get frost resistance from your cape, fire resistance from barley wine and there are no enemies with lightning damage. Bonemass and eikthyr are more useful in mistlands.

[keen scaffold]

how to use goto again?

[true steeple]

Put two numbers after it

[keen scaffold]

goto -4300 3200

[keen scaffold]

ah, was using ,

[storm vapor]

TURNPS????????

[keen scaffold]

wierd, she isnt there

and havent explored that swamp

[frail cave]

did you upload your world files to the world directly or just type in the world's seed?

[keen scaffold]

world see

[frail cave]

because world generation adapts to existing worlds, so the locations may not add up with freshly generated worlds

[keen scaffold]

https://valheim-map.world/?seed=zCGXGA8XsN&offset=-4168%2C3175&zoom=0.100&view=0&ver=0.219.13

[frail cave]

but since you're already in the console, you might as well just use find BogWitch_camp 10 to temporarily mark all bog witch locations in your world

[storm vapor]

i have been searching for turnips in swamps for the last 3 days

[keen scaffold]

ty, found it

[molten mountain]

yeah, they can be pretty rare to find

we found ours in the sixth swamp that we explored?

[exotic hinge]

They'll Turn-up sooner or later

[keen scaffold]

so wish tray, i can do any food for freE?

what about high tier food feasts?

[true steeple]

It places food from your inventory

[steel thorn]

Bog Witch continues to elude me

[onyx solstice]

does anyone use dathost?

[scenic sphinx]

is it trader? why i cant talk to him? found this dock with mages

[onyx solstice]

need a little help my valheim plus was out of date need to update it to use the server

[true steeple]

#mods-issues

[true steeple]

They aren't traders. They become hostile when you attack them or their structures. You need to aggro them at some point to obtain an item required for progression.

[echo sparrow]

just some NPCs, don't hit their stuff or they'll all aggro

[true steeple]

Also, rest

[scenic sphinx]

any other way to obtain that item?

[true steeple]

Unfortunately, there are many ways to cheese it
But that's not as fun

[echo sparrow]

pssh, don't let this guy lie to you--it's VERY fun to lead a gjall/soldier back to your new friends to help you take advantage of the chaos @scenic sphinx

[true steeple]

Getting help from enemies is ok

[mellow lodge]

if you can get a cart into a dverger tower, you can smash the ward with it. once you get refined eitr, you can use some of that to break it also. i never kill my dverger bros

[keen scaffold]

what happens if i use iron sledge on barley?

[frail cave]

same as with all other weapons, it drops
but since it's destroyed instead of harvested, there's no chance for extra harvests, and it doesn't level your farming skill

[mellow lodge]

it harvests the barley. scythe is better once you find the bog witch however

[mental dagger]

can i transfer character data onto another steam account?

[stoic trench]

Should be possible, just transfer the character files I would imagine

[mental dagger]

i did it 😄 just moved onto local, copied, moved into other folder, moved character to cloud then put that file back in

[frigid linden]

This

Those shingles dangling on the inside look horrible

[steep tusk]

They have vaccines for shingles now 😉

[mellow lodge]

booo

[steep tusk]

👻

[frigid linden]

Basically anytime I try to do a non regular roof (as in, any form of chimney) there's this awful inside clipping

It's kinda bearable with thatch but with shingle roofing it looks really bad

[dusk mountain]

what if you just made the chimney 2 meters higher? so instead it won't clip into your roof and your chimney extends further up

or made it something like this? you could have slopes inside to condense the smoke into a single square-shaped hole

[steep tusk]

Also in many cases you don't even need a chimney.

[dusk mountain]

yeah, just an opening in the roof can work

[steep tusk]

Don't even need an opening.

Smoke particles have a life duration. So if you have either a high enough roof (shorter than you're thinking) or just enough lateral space for them to go, they will time out before they start coming downwards.

[frigid linden]

With this kind of structure the clipping is always on at least one side. At the moment it's on both. If I move up 2 metres the clipping will be gone on the side screenshotted, but it's still present on the other side.

Granted, it's hidden and I have no reason to look up there, but I will know that it's there lol

[dusk mountain]

you could also make the chimney in the center of the roof instead off to one side

[frigid linden]

Also now I'm properly looking straight it the chimney doesn't even properly vent the smoke, ree.

Why is this so hard? I see amazing screenshots all the time. Here I am with 100s on hours on this game and still struggling to do the most basic of builds

[glad flame]

HELP 🙂

raspberry and berries
only havwest from wood or are posible to planting?

[steep tusk]

Neither.
You don't get them from wood.

Raspberries are picked from bushes in the Meadows.
Blueberries are picked from bushes in the Black Forest.

No, you cannot plant the bushes.

[dusk mountain]

You can't plant them in the vanilla game, however some mods will allow you to plant them and other similar unobtainable plants

[wild sequoia]

Guys, is the Xbox controller still moving on its own when playing on Steam? mine has improved a little, but it still messes up, I wanted to know if I reinstall the game or if they didn't fix everything anyway

[mellow lodge]

i play with controller on Steam and it's been fixed. I do seem to occasionally get a little more drift than i remember pre-Bog Witch update, but it's barely noticeable to me.

[subtle parrot]

Run darkwood trim around it

[frigid linden]

Doesn't hide it completely.

I went with the suggestion of moving it 2 metres up - still clips the other side and that annoys me, but the way the build happens nobody should be looking at the other side anyway. I had to reconsider the whole design completely anyway because the smoke was splitting. Got a new design which works better now

[subtle parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/david-spade-right-on-joe-dirt-i-agree-gif-3440259

[warm harness]

for some reason, every Neck Tail i cook goes flying upwards 💀

[echo sparrow]

my guess, the cooking station is close enough to something that when food is removed it clips through and rises to the top

[warm harness]

weird because its only with neck tails

[slate terrace]

So, question. Is the 10K instance a hard limit? Does the high instance lag issue only occur at a certain size (if at all) and is this bypassed by making bases further away?

[fathom badge]

It's not a hard limit, it's just the limit most people start noticing issues with. Instances are just basically a count of the list of "things" that the engine needs to process each frame, and the more of those you have the slower things go. But yes, if you make other bases out of render distance their instances will no longer count and you will get better performance overall.

[slate terrace]

Gotcha, thank you!

Now I can justify making one base in each biome muwahahaha

[queen harness]

Hello,
I tried opening my server using dedicated server and got a new world... some shenanigans happened but I went through my files and loaded my auto save of my old world.

Things seem to be fine except my character's map sees the incorrect world (but the markers are in the right spot). Does anyone know where the save file for the character's map is? I'd like to reset or revert my character's map of the world

Screenshots of the map and the world and some more inconsistent map readings:

[steel thorn]

hours later... The Bog Witch (Bitch?) refuses to be found

[wild sequoia]

Wow, mine is still pretty bad, especially in the inventory, should I reinstall the game?

[mellow lodge]

are you sure you're updated to latest update as of 10/30 ?

[wild sequoia]

yes=/

[mellow lodge]

i would do a fresh install just in case maybe, also disable any mods if you're running those. you're the only person i've heard still have the controller issue post-update

[wild sequoia]

I'm going to reinstall the game to see what happens, I have the game on two PCs here at home, and on both it's still the same thing, with two different controls until

[stoic trench]

#valheim-public-test message

Don’t think it’s been entirely fixed yet 🤔

“we still haven't patched that controller bug”

[mellow lodge]

doh! i don't have access to that channel, but that sucks to hear.

[stoic trench]

Hopefully it gets squished soon!

[willow jungle]

So, I haven't played the game for 2 years... Now I forgot where I left the Harpoon, I don't have enough items to make a new one. Is there some dev tool I can find it again?

[willow raft]

You can devcommand a new one in.
Spawn SpearChitin

[willow jungle]

What exactly do I need to type in for this?

/dev spawn spearchiten?

[willow raft]

/spawn SpearChitin
Is enough

[willow jungle]

Nothing happend, is there some setting I need to turn on first?

[queen harness]

Press F5 to open the dev console
type "devcommands" without quotes to enable dev commands
type "spawn SpearChitin"

[willow jungle]

After this I pressed [Enter]

[willow raft]

you need to turn on devcommands first and then type it in the console.

[willow jungle]

F5 does nothing for me

[willow raft]

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

[willow jungle]

F5 works on Valheim Wiki, so it's not my keyboard

[queen harness]

Just confirming, but are you the server owner?
Also, you have to enable console by going to the game's properties

The link that judge blue kamap will give you better instructions

[willow jungle]

Aha, Steam settings first. Do I need to close the game before doing this ?

[willow jungle]

Yeah, it's just my own save file, solo gameplay

[willow raft]

Actually you can change it with the game open but for it to work you'll need to close the game else it won't recognize you changed it.

[cunning lagoon]

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue

[willow jungle]

It worked ^^, how do I turn devcommands off again?

[queen harness]

press F5 to close the console

you can type devcommands again to turn off i believe

also when you log off and back on, it won't be on by default

[willow jungle]

Correct

Thanks @queen harness @sweet glen ! 😄

[queen harness]

no problem!

Hello, I am facing a problem with the game. I used to play the game, but when I moved from Jordan to Egypt, I faced this problem and I did not know how to solve it

the problem is "failed to connect"

any one can help?

[dapper hamlet]

Are you trying to join a server or is it one of your own worlds?

[gentle bolt]

I'm trying to get into my friend's world.

before i can join but after move to egypt i cant

[dapper hamlet]

Are you guys on the same version of the game? I know bog witch patch came out recently

[gentle bolt]

yes the same version

[lapis terrace]

Egypt blocks some internet connections :/

a few countries block crossplay specificly

so try without it

[gentle bolt]

Do you know any solution to the problem?

[lapis terrace]

try without crossplay

if not, no

not unless you can complain to the goverment to stop blocking internet services 😅

[dapper hamlet]

Yeah, if it's blocked by the country, there's nothing you can do unless you want to move again

[quasi vault]

VPN can't counteract this?

[gentle bolt]

i tried vpn

[lapis terrace]

VPN and crossplay works very poorly

like | nope

try without crossplay

unless you're on Xbox or game pass

[gentle bolt]

now i will try without crossplay

[gentle bolt]

yes i have game pass

[lapis terrace]

only?

[steel thorn]

I FOUND HERRRRR

[lapis terrace]

gamepass and Xbox only works with crossplay 😦

[gentle bolt]

i have it in steam also

[dapper hamlet]

Not without getting a horrible connection

[lapis terrace]

try the steam version

[gentle bolt]

thank you all

Meads aren't in the cauldron.

[true steeple]

You need to make the new mead ketill from copper, tin and leather

[dapper pendant]

damn

can you be more specific I need to unlock this mead ketill thing, what materials do I need to hold for it to appear

[true steeple]

#valheim-help message

It only takes those three ingredients. Try picking them up again.

Deer hide is not what I meant with leather. Leather scraps.

I don't know the difference between hide and leather so I got both

am I blind or is it not in the production tab

i'm embarresed by how many times i simply can't find the build piece i'm looking for in that menu. i'm like "the oven is HERE somewhere dammit!". and i literally have to go box by box slowly to find it...

[willow jungle]

First time in the Plains for me, do Cloudberries regrow, like Blueberries and Raspberries?

[true steeple]

Yes, they regrow

[mellow lodge]

i love cloudberries. massive clusters everywhere. probably the easiest pickable to keep stocked

[willow jungle]

Yeah, there are so many of them clustered, that made me wondering if they even repawn or not xD

[steep tusk]

Everything is easy to keep stocked when you type spawn 😉

[willow jungle]

Dunno if I am just being lucky here, but I find clusters of them everywhere xD

[true steeple]

You don’t need to mark them. They’re everywhere.

[mellow lodge]

yeah, what Blob said. and if you end up with a plains farm, like most do, you'll probably have a bunch nearby

maybe you just mark those near your farm, for easy remembering

[willow jungle]

Thanks for the tips @mellow lodge @true steeple 😄

[steel thorn]

is there any pattern to infested mine appearances or its just random? cuz i seem to be super unlucky

[slow eagle]

“I need some help. I updated Valheim today, and for some reason, Hildir isn’t showing up.”

[compact heath]

Real answer, no its RNG. Bad answer: When you're looking for them you won't find them and when you're not looking for them you will find them and they will send starred seekers to hurt you.

[steel thorn]

i actually just noticed theres a kind that spawns along the coast with a long stairway up. Would it be effective to sail around looking for them rather than running blindly thru the mistlands?

[dry olive]

Has there been any bugs reported where people cant change keybinds?

[frigid linden]

They're also kinda frail. Clusters of cloudberries can get wiped out while on the run from tar, or in the aftermath of a fuling village raid going downhill and needing to kite away with shamans raining hellfire on you.

Or a lox could just step in cloudberries general direction and break it

[dense wind]

i need some help with fps if someone doesnt mind. my base is getting to where its only 15 20 fps. i run a dedicated modded server so i assumed that was the case. but ive been testing. i took a back up. put in my game and logged in, the disabled all mods and its still terrible fps. i made a test character. 144fps. re activated all the mods on the test character. 144fps. so somehow my fps loss is tied to the character in the game? does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

[junior ingot]

is your base large?

[dense wind]

i wouldnt say so honestly. its got about 30 chests but thats about it.

[junior ingot]

do you have the same framedrops outside base render distance?

[dense wind]

oh no, 144 when i get away from the base. so i did assume that. but my other character can walk inside that base without and fps drop

[junior ingot]

yeah,,,, no clue, must be something buggy with your character then

[dense wind]

yeah i was afraid of that. i tried loading from a backup and its the same problem. im kinda lost at this point. but it was after the update i do know that.

[compact heath]

did you follow the instructions to 100% remove all traces of mods? they are stickied somewhere I think (actually in this channel just found it

How to properly remove mods:
Step 1: Uninstall Valheim.
Step 2: Delete the entire Valheim installation folder.
Steam default installation folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim
Gamepass default installation folder: C:\XboxGames\Valheim\Content
Step 3: Reinstall Valheim.

If you haven't done it, could still be a mod issue #mods-issues

[exotic hinge]

I just had a whole pen of 2 star tame boars wiped out by a Ghost Raid. Feels bad, lesson learned, already redid the whole pen, full enclosure.

My question is do tame animals get along? Can I put one of my tame wolves into the Boar Pen as protection or will Tame Wolves kill other tame animals automatically?

[mellow lodge]

yes, all tames are part of the player faction and get along

[mellow lodge]

i feel it's a lesson most people learn the hard way

there's a reason i have a backup 2star boar barn away from my main base

[exotic hinge]

Killer, redundancy is an engineer's best friend. Between the fortifications and the wolves, they should be safe

That's indeed the third percaution I'm going to take; I'll choose some satellite outpost out of render range and have back up boars there

Is there an easy way to guide boars? My impression is you can't really move them too easily once tame, compared to like wolves that you can command to follow. I'm think a harpoon might be my best bet

[compact heath]

I actually have a question too this time if someone knows the quick answer, I have tamed Asksvin and seem to get very few eggs, just 1 egg so far from 2 Asksvin. They share a pen with 4 chickens and 8 wolves, but that should not be the cause should it that somehow the tame limit for them takes other tames into account? Previously when I tamed them I was getting eggs fast, they are fed and near a fire.

Hello,

What is the latest about the naming issue with xbox? I still strugle with portals to get named, some times i write it's name 15 times till it take it 😢

[idle stag]

You'd need mods, yes. See my reply in #mods-issues

[acoustic abyss]

how to fix this

i mean this wrong text like skey_table left and buttons names

[true steeple]

It looks like the language texts haven't loaded correctly. I've never seen this.

Do you play with mods? That can break things

[tired root]

Mods?

[acoustic abyss]

mb had some mod for any server before but i deleted the game then installed in steam and the same trouble

[true steeple]

Delete everything in the installation folder, then re-install the game

[acoustic abyss]

ok will try ty

[vale spade]

Reminder please

[opaque glade]

My buddy lost all his gear for the third because of the same glitch. He died again just as i closed the server so his grave was not loaded.

[true steeple]

He can load an automatic character backup with the manage saves button on character select

[opaque glade]

oh wow

He got back everything but his upgraded flametal shield

[frigid linden]

So a way of dealing with raids is to actually try and set up your tamed animal farms away from a main base. Your tamed pets are actually probably safer if they're away from your spot at (almost) all times

It works so well because you're never going to need to take metals between the 2 places

[steep tusk]

Can also just turn raids off.

[frigid linden]

Nah, I like the raids lol

[vale spade]

I just made the raids none, i wanna live in peaceful home, i only get home btw for either building/upgrading/crafting or making food, raids are not welcomed lol

[steel thorn]

I was sucked to death by a 2* tick upon entry to an infested mine

[ripe merlin]

Did bronze armor get cheaper at some point? Me and my friends swear it used to take more than 5 bronze a piece

[true steeple]

Bronze items take less materials than later equipment because three bars of other metals go into one bar of bronze

I don't think it's changed though

[ripe merlin]

Ah that's true. 15 bars total make 5 which about lines up

[opaque glade]

Why does the ashvine just randomly stop growing for ever?

[frigid linden]

Something valheim instills in you is that insects are terrifying

You get a small taste of that with Satan's bugs from plains first. And then it somehow just gets worse lol

[scenic sphinx]

what should i drop here ?

[frigid linden]

Soft tissue goes at the top, sap goes in the funnel

[scenic sphinx]

why it randomly damages things around it...

[frail cave]

it does that while it works, iron cage walls, copper walls and black marble are immune to the damage types dealt by eitr sparks

[frigid linden]

Dangerous and chaotic machinery.

Note not only does the building damage its surroundings, but so does the resource it spits out.

Best not to leave it lying around on the floor for too long

Are you using a server host?

[cloud mortar]

no, im playing locally on my machine. it also seems like it saved my character changes but not the world itself, the world seems to keep going back in time

I don't know then, I'm afraid.

I do not want any spoilers. ||I cannot figure out how to use the Serving Tray. I have made a Plains Pie Picnic. I assume it has to be "added" to the Serving Tray but I cannot figure out how to do it. Is there any in-game hint or instructions that I am missing?||

[true steeple]

Use the serving tray as a build tool. The build menu has a feasts tab.

[pliant tide]

does feasts expire after a time or after 10 use?

[true steeple]

Feasts can be used 10 times but don't have a timer

[loud linden]

Feasts with a timer are a Competitive Eating Contest.

[echo sparrow]

is using bukeperries cheating? @loud linden

[loud linden]

That's a great question. I can only assume that Odin makes the rules of the game.

[true steeple]

You'd need plenty of bukeperries and a healing mead to eat as much food as possible. Corpse run would be even better than the mead.

[loud linden]

THEORY-CRAFTERS UNITE!

[true steeple]

With enough graves and bukeperries you could eat infinitely

[echo sparrow]

🤣

[quasi pagoda]

Thanks. I had noticed that the Serving Tray acted like the Hammer in that existing build pieces turned blue when I pointed at them. What I didn't do is close my inventory after equipping the Serving Tray with a right-click. Until I did all I could see were the basic build items (torch, stone axe, etc.). After closing my inventory right-clicking brought up the build menu for the tray. Thanks.

[loud linden]

Did you hack at your enemies' necks with the thin bit?

[mellow lodge]

yeah, we need the "anything is a weapon" update

I made a garden on the boundaries of plains and mistlands surrounded with defenses and huge walls for protection and a port to my original home, answering your question, no way to do it

[quasi pagoda]

Not sure what you mean, but I can make feasts now so I am happy.

[little trench]

how much silver do i need to farm? what stuff do i absolutely need from mountains?

pref i dont need to farm so much

[gritty beacon]

how can I defeat a ston golem?

[true steeple]

They are resistant to pierce and slash, so use a blunt weapon.

Also make sure they can’t knock you off a cliff

[little trench]

upgraded iron mace + iron shield. parry the lancing attack and then hit 3 times

[echo sparrow]

to progress technically all you need is silver and obsidian from the mountains for station upgrades and of course to kill moder to unlock refining blackmetal in the plains, though, if you skip the caves entirely (which you can do) you'll miss out on one of the best light armors in the game (fenris)

it's also very NICE though IMO, to get onion seeds and taming wolves for meat and a decent combat partner that will follow you around (as many as you want to breed up and have follow you actually, could be a real handicap assist for less combat-adept players)

[gritty beacon]

thanks

next time i ask this before try to kill them with a sword

[pliant tide]

anyone knows if eitr refinery damages each other?

[frosty frost]

I dont believe they do

[pliant tide]

it will save me from a lot of marble farming if it doesn't. I made iron cage for them but apperently iron gets damaged in rain. so now I have to cage them with marble

[frosty frost]

Keep in mind that i didnt actually tested that, but i know that the refined eitr itself doesent dmg them and they should be doing the same dmg iirc

[flint yoke]

Wall with iron, roof with marble

[frosty frost]

Or with anything else

[flint yoke]

And no, they don't dmg each other

[steep tusk]

Walls and roof both of black marble 😉

[quasi vault]

It will just get damaged to 50% and not take damage again so you're fine unless you really dislike the rusty look

[pliant tide]

oh that's good to know

[pliant tide]

does marble block work as roof? if you put it on top of iron cage. iron still be exposed from sides

That's a travesty as they are pretty much all head

[steep tusk]

Uh... no?

Like 90% of their surface area is not head.

[exotic hinge]

Right, I mean compared to most other enemies with perceivable heads

Like the only one that comes to mind that may be equivilent is the Lox

[steep tusk]

Your brain's proportion-recognition software needs an update.

[true steeple]

Trolls, gjalls and seeker soldiers have weak points, but I don’t think any other creature does.

[vivid hornet]

Solved it! Our cook is tired and made Cooked Neck Tails instead of Asksvin tails! 😉 Thanks for the help!

[true steeple]

We need a deep north creature with multiple weak points, each vulnerable to different damage types

[warm harness]

I let my ship fairly far away from my base and now i cant find it, can monsters destroy it even if there is nothing close to it?

[chilly shadow]

Yes

[exotic hinge]

Time to fire the cook.
Give a man a fire, they'll be warm for a night.
Set a man on fire, they'll be warm for the rest of their life.

[frail cave]

(but they may also be cold at the same time here in the 10th realm)

[warm harness]

no materials to build another, now i will have to farm copper before getting my iron 🥲

[midnight lily]

If you can remember where you left it, the nails will be on the seabed until they despawn

[exotic hinge]

If only they were iron nails, magnet on a string

[midnight lily]

PSA: Always park near a workbench to prevent nails despawning. Of course, if it was monsters, they'll attack the workbench too. I like to hide it with stakewalls

[warm harness]

it did despawn i think

[echo sparrow]

i don't think monsters actually can attack unless the area is "loaded" by having at least one player close enough

like it wouldn't be THAT hard to unknowingly be close enough for mobs to do that, and then break the boat without you knowing any better, and then the nails and other mats despawning over time, so that very well could have happened here--but I'm almost positive even MP/server (persistent world, i.e. you open game menu game doesn't pause, keeps playing) you still need players sufficiently close to parts of the map for it to 'load' and simulate activity, it's NOT the whole world simultaneously simulating constantly

[chilly shadow]

This is true, but it also depends on what "fairly" far away is, as I've had ships disappear before with no one in render. Plus if something had already aggroed the ship when it was docked I doubt it would "pause" so to speak.

[buoyant peak]

I smell a potential mini boss.

Keep cooking

[echo sparrow]

yeah I am not 100% sure how far out loaded is--it seems very likely farther than immediate view--and i've also definitely had situations were it seemed weirdly like it was able to be attacked when not around (though also, cannot rule out, being just close enough)

i think they'll keep attacking once they've started, but I'm still PRETTY sure if all players move far enough away then it still 'unloads' the area (necessarily pausing the attacking and damage of the mob)--though I think it might be hard to notice unless deliberately testing because it doesn't seem to take too long for most mobs attacking an undefended boat to break it down, so just between the time it takes leaving and returning with the area loaded may be more than enough for them to break the boat while loaded in many circumstances

[hoary minnow]

My friend can't build. The construction keeps snapping back to his character constantly and goes all over the place.

[cursive dew]

So I'm playing with a friend as first playthrough, we're on plains stage but ||crossbow and blood magic skills appeared for them , is that normal??||

[chilly shadow]

Shouldn't have appeared unless they've used an item associated with them, did they use them in a singleplayer maybe?

[cursive dew]

It happened to me too with the ||crossbows|| one and I dont think I did

[steep tusk]

Crossbow appearing when you get the Artisan Table would sort of make sense as you can immediately make Bolts even though you have no weapon access.

[chilly shadow]

That's a possibility yeah

[steep tusk]

(That being the use of the Artisan Table is a strongly disliked feature, but I digress...)

[frigid linden]

No, it doesn't.

The artisan table doesn't make bolts, it makes missiles for ballistas.

Bolts come from the black forge

[steep tusk]

👀

I sit corrected.

[compact heath]

I love artisan table, so pretty and makes shield cores etc

[steep tusk]

I genuinely was hoping it was for jewelry crafting... but nope.

[frigid linden]

It DOES make mechanical springs, which makes me think it's for more intricate machinery type stuff

[steep tusk]

As opposed to non-mechanical springs?
Slinkies in Valheim when???

[frigid linden]

But yeah, I know about the bolts cause I've been making them recently. The arbalest has been a godsend vs the gjalls. Even though I'm using a magic build nothing seems to hurt it quite like a bolt to its underside

[steep tusk]

Frost staff from underneath kills pretty fast.

[frigid linden]

I hit them with the frost staff from what felt and seemed like underneath but it didn't seem to do extra damage

[steep tusk]

I am much more preferable to frost and ling magic, and since both of those don't stack up to fire currently... I cannot mage in Valheim.

[cursive dew]

I did build an artisan table and been to mistlands, wonder if that could change something

I guess it could always be some random bug

[steep iris]

bog witch will spawn in my old world in unexplored swamp right?

[frail cave]

yes

[fervent sedge]

can anyone help on how to use the sythe? Im using it on crops but its not harvesting, just doing a swing.

[mellow lodge]

it doesn't work on mistlands crops

carrots, onions, turnips, barley, flax

hopefully it WILL work on mistlands crops atsome point

[cold gale]

ingame remove character feature is broken?

I can't remove/delete my old characters D:

what the- never mind, It finally got remove after spamming remove for almost 5 mins .-.

[urban hearth]

In mistlands: Do ||ancient roots regenerate sap|| even if player isn't within close distance? And do ||sap extractors extract sap|| even if you aren't nearby?
That is, does it work like farming, where planted vegetables don't necessarily visually mature when you aren't there, but pop to fully grown once you return to the area?

[true steeple]

They constantly regenerate sap, even with extractors on them
And everything happens while you are away

[willow raft]

Yes, you can make a portal circle go and collect everything and do it again later on.

[compact heath]

I have got the holy grail right now, a path between 5 roots, with all being mistfree so can grab 50 sap each time I visit. it harvests very slowly when the root is dried up but still does and it goes fast when root is still glowing

[urban hearth]

And since it ||regens only 1 per 400 seconds, and 1 per 60s is extracted, just 1 extractor per root|| is enough, if you check roughly once per hour? (But more may be beneficial if you want to quickly drain the starting 50)

[compact heath]

and you don't have to be there at all for it to happen

[hardy prism]

do weapons deal more damage when you upgrade them ?

[true steeple]

The damage increases slightly, but the main benefit is massively increased durability

[ionic wraith]

I had a question if we are near a river with nixes and we killed them all, over time they respawn?

[true steeple]

Necks ? They respawn.

[ionic wraith]

thanks 😄

[frigid linden]

Honestly sounds like the perfect spot to set up cultivated soil and farm mistland mushrooms too. 5 roots in one of those patches is indeed a good find

[olive saffron]

Hey, me and my friends have been playing valheim on a locally hosted server.
We used -nomap at the start, but as weve played for longer and the amount of players is larger nomap is not really feasible right now.
I removed this from the startup batch file but the server still has no map, any reason why?

[mint glade]

My friend cant sleep? how do i fix this bug

[frosty frost]

Wdym they cant sleep? Does it show some message? You have to make bed under roof with some walls around and have fire nearby, did they satisfy those conditions? Also while enemies are near it will not let you sleep. Also also, multiple people cant use the same bed.

[mint glade]

Not this, its the Sleep bug where he presses E and it just makes him stand above the bed

We have all shelter and all, knowledged enough on that, had the game for over a year, never came across this bug

[frosty frost]

It sometimes does that when you walk at the same time as you click, try to stand still and press E a few times on the bed even when it just places you on top 🙂

[jovial ledge]

is it just me that I think Yagluth presents such an abrupt spike in challenge (solo, hard difficulty), that I need to drop difficulty to normal for this fight, or to skip the fight altogether by console commands?

[mellow lodge]

i mean, it's a single player game. do whatever you want. but that whole sentence sounds crazy to me
