[quasi vault]

I agree that the fight is a spike in difficulty, like there's also another spike in difficulty for the next 2 boss and their should be but they are definitely doable on any difficulty

[jovial ledge]

it IS doable, but it becomes so long and tedious that it's no more fun left in it. I guess in public test it will be somewhat easier to perform due to introduction of potions, especially the anti-mosquito one.

[mellow lodge]

that's released, it's not beta anymore

[quasi vault]

The best way to speed up the fight is to abuse the fact that yagluth turns very slowly by just turning around him and attacking. That will reduce how often he attack (how often you need to run away) and allow you to damage him faster

[thorn spire]

LOL IMO the longest part of the Yagluth fight is finding his damn altar.

[jovial ledge]

I should've specified that I'm fighting him the "legit" way, no cheesy exploits like building fire pits or something that abuses dumb AI.

[frosty frost]

And why would you?

[misty fable]

Hey guys i have a question where my fish recipe went?

i have raw persh in my eq and cant turn it in to raw fish

[quasi vault]

It's in the food preparation table now

[misty fable]

OH WOW i didnt now that something like this exists

thanks

[quasi vault]

There's also a station to make the meads and there's a new trader that can sell you some ingredients for new feasts and meads!

[tranquil lion]

Whats the play for moving islands? My world seed seems to only have black forest, meadows, and mountain on the first island. I tried going into mountains and got 1 shot by a wolf while i was running away and wearing full set of troll gear

[quasi vault]

That's the usual setup. After the black forest is the swamp but you don't necessarily have to move island, you can make a boat, go to a swamp with poison resist, setup a portal there, harvest the new metal from that swamp and sail it back to your base (making bronze nails will unlock a decent boat)

[slow orchid]

is frostner better in mistlands compared to porcupine? ive already max upgraded the latter

[true steeple]

Frostner will do a little more damage against seekers and will slow enemies, but because most of its damage is frost damage, it has very low stagger compared to the porcupine.

So it depends on how you use those weapons

[slow orchid]

got it, i'll probably stay w porcupine then, dont wanna grind more silver either

[mellow lodge]

seekers are resistant to physical damage

so the facdt that frostner has some frost/spirit means they don't resist it

[true steeple]

That also means the already low stagger gets reduced further against seekers

[mellow lodge]

maybe that means that against seekers, when fighting them with early biome weapons, don't focus on stagger from weapon damage.

stagger via parry, sure

[exotic hinge]

Is there any structure I can build over crops for protection that won't prevent them from growing? Iron bars are out, is there something else?

[frosty frost]

There is in ashlands 🙂 (well, after you kill mistlands boss so technically mistlands)

However that will protect them only from projectiles i am afraid

[echo sparrow]

does the crop recognize ROOF or ANY obstruction of sky?

[frosty frost]

what do you need them protected against

[exotic hinge]

It's all I need; I'm getting ready to make my first Mistlands outpost and I anticipate those nightmare tick bags being able to wipe out my crops

[echo sparrow]

cuz if the latter, i think there's probably no current in game way, to actually block sky direction, without affecting crop growth by definition =

[exotic hinge]

My limited testing shows roofs and iron bars cause problems

[echo sparrow]

what I mean is specifically tiles that protect from rain (I THINK one and same as those under which you get shelter, though that status has I think a few additional requirements involving invisible rays from player obstructed by objects, not JUST being under a roof tile) versus those that don't (e.g. regular 2 x 2 wood floor, etc.)

[exotic hinge]

Bars are weird; they let rain through (no sheltered), but don't let smoke through apparently, and obstruct the sky

[echo sparrow]

yes they are weird

but sadly I think the closest you can get to what you want is raising up an earthen wall high enough it blocks LoS and provides an obstruction they'd have to fly up to go over, and if extra desired put a battery of balistae facing outwards on top

[exotic hinge]

Crops grow regardless of being loaded yeah? Untill I get some of the more advanced base defensese up, I can just not be there unless I'm activly harvesting

[echo sparrow]

i DO think the mistlands crops are immune from damage once they reach full maturity at least from something I saw (basically having to do with them starting as foragables out in the world, being immune from damage to prevent their accidental destruction there, or just that that's how they behave similar to red shrooms/other forageables)

[echo sparrow]

yes that's another good way

[exotic hinge]

I'm not even ready to build yet, just musing things out in my mind while I'm doing other tasks

[echo sparrow]

crops don't TECHNICALLY grow while away, but their timer 'counts' still--basically, it will all update and "pop" after a little time for game to process area the whole field to maturity (if enough time has passed) if you leave and come back

[exotic hinge]

Yes, a technical nuance to keep in mind, Shrodinger's cat and all that

[steep tusk]

Any.

[tranquil lion]

Is there a resource anywhere for spawning commands?

nvm

[frosty frost]

You can look on items page on wiki and it should have id there 🙂

[tranquil lion]

I missed the itemIds hotlink on the wiki page

hmmm so these aren't available in multiplayer?

If I spawn a blueberry bush in single player itll still appear though once i start the server and invite a friend though?

[true steeple]

You can use commands in multiplayer if you are the host.
Items spawned with commands will be saved

[tranquil lion]

someone should update the wiki page then lol. Thanks for the info!

[lilac coyote]

Why? It's not wrong?

[frail cave]

it only works for the host, and if it's a dedicated server, it doesn't even work for the host, because the host isn't truly the server's host, that would be the server itself.

[tranquil lion]

Then its wrong lmao

[frail cave]

in manually hosted multiplayer, it's always worked

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, I guess that should read dedicated server.

[frosty frost]

Maybe i could change it to "They do not work on dedicated multiplayer servers or on player hosted servers if the player is not the host."?

[lilac coyote]

It's OK, I've 'fixed' it.

[tranquil lion]

That was fast

[true steeple]

It doesn't take very long to change the wiki

[lilac coyote]

Yep, I try and fix things as soon as I'm aware of them.

[tranquil lion]

I like when wikis are actually community run by useful people so thank you for your work man

Meanwhile... Fextratrash...

Swear half the information i get from souls games on that resource is in the comments instead of on the actual posts

[lilac coyote]

As much of ours as possible is sourced from code rips or a LOT of testing.

[tranquil lion]

Yeah i started diving into the wiki and theres a lot of really useful info on there. Also appreciate that there are clearly defined mathematics on stuff like structural stability even if im never gonna put that much thought into it myself

how do you guys set up portals? Tag them on the map and use one port in base as a sort of telephone?

[steep tusk]

I don't even tag them on the map.

[tranquil lion]

lol i know ill forget whatever i name them

[steep tusk]

Stop complicating their names?

Boss name: Elder
Portal to said boss name: Elder

If you forget that... idk what to tell you.

[frail cave]

i do it pretty much the same way except sometimes i'm too lazy to add the marker, and i have 2-3 portals at home in case a trip takes several

[tranquil lion]

I mean... I haven't even built one as of yet. Only started playing two days ago

[tranquil lion]

Wait what do you need the extra 2-3 for?

[steep tusk]

Biome you're portalling to: Swamp
Portal to said biome name: Swamp

If you have a remote farm:
Portal to said remote farm name: Farm

[frail cave]

for example on a swamp trip i place a portal by the ship, and then another on whatever crypt i'm mining. if one's broken (though that hasn't happened yet) the other is probably still there

[steep tusk]

Won't break because everything de-loads when you go through it 😉

[frail cave]

yes, but sometimes a crypt is within render distance of the ship, yet inconveniently far away at the same time

and the method i use to get the iron to the ship keeps changing 😅 sometimes i schlepp it from the crypts directly to the boat, in which case i can then use the boat portal to get home, repair stuff, and then use the crypt portal to get right back to the crypt

[little trench]

silver vs root chest in plains?

[true steeple]

Sometimes I put both chestplates in my hotbar to quickly swap to what I need

[subtle parrot]

Whichever, root can be good for squitos and the spear fulings, but until you get fire wine watch out for the ones with torches. Silver is good all around imo, a bit slower, but when you can, upgrade to the plains gear

[buoyant peak]

root

[viscid python]

Hi everyone! I'm trying to craft potions in Valheim. I already have a fermenter and a cauldron, and I've gathered all the necessary ingredients to make some tasty mead mixes. However, the recipes aren’t showing up in my cauldron. Has anyone else experienced this or knows what I might be missing?

[frosty frost]

You need the new mead ketill 🙂

[viscid python]

Oh.. gosh.. its so long ago i played this game.

Thank you so much x)

[frosty frost]

Yeah, it came with the latest update 😄 you are welcome

[cursive dew]

Random question, been launching Valheim with Vulkan, is there an important difference between that and other option?

[buoyant peak]

Performance

Launch it with both and compare

[serene tangle]

But basically if you have an nVIDIA card 2000 series or later Vulkan should be better.

[night karma]

good night guys, someone can help me? I cant cook in the cooking station, I receive one message "the cooking station need one campfire" but I have one campfire

[true steeple]

Is the cooking station directly over a lit campfire?

[night karma]

yep

[cursive dew]

Got an AMD RX 6600

[steel cradle]

Not sure if anyone has the anyone can shed some light, but is there any documentation on the Fire Hazards setting? I want to play with it, but I'm not very creative with building and don't want to have to rebuild constantly. I don't know how brutal the flame spreading is either, and I learned real quickly that a campfire on dirt aint gonna work as my day 2 house almost crumbled, saved by the fact I just kept repairing as much as I could before it broke the walls. Is there a known range that fire spreads, does it work differently with hearths vs campfires, etc? I'd really appreciate some extra info on this if anyone knows the details

[buoyant peak]

I do have an nvidia rtx 3050 integrated in my laptop, I guess this would apply to me then? I could test it but I already run it at +60 fps so maybe I wouldn't be able to see differences (especially considering I set the max fps at 60)

[tranquil lion]

damn why do wolves hit so hard... its like a starting creature in every game

[frail cave]

😅 well it isn't in valheim, common enemy in the fourth biome (mountains), wouldn't go near them till you've conquered swamps

[tranquil lion]

yeah... got that 😭

I just wandered into the snowy biome since i finished black forest and figured since its nearby it wouldnt be too bad. Saw a wolf and was like.

Yeah look at me in my badass troll armor and my long reaching flint spear...

Wolf said... you dont belong here. I got one shot lmoa

Any reason to craft bronze gear btw?

I havent even killed the elder yet so i guess i havent finished black forest but none of the areas around me seem to have a boss spawn

[frail cave]

imo bronze armor is really not that much better than troll armor defensively and the movement speed penalty can hurt a lot early on. if you're fine with the bronze grind and want more defense, absolutely go for it, but if not, i'd just stick to troll, i always do.
as for weapons, they're certainly useful, i don't make them anymore but just because i'm stingy about my bronze

[steep tusk]

Bronze pickaxe ftw.

[frail cave]

the bronze pickaxe has more durability and damage than the antler pick but isn't required for any new mineable thing

[steep tusk]

Bronze armor also has the BEST helmet in the game.

[hidden ivy]

doing a playthrough on a seed I've already partially cleared before(really liked the layout). Hildir did not spawn at the same location(no other locations found) Any ideas why she isn't there?

[steep tusk]

Because the Bog Witch changed where things spawn.

[hidden ivy]

Roger that, thanks

Haven't found bog witch yet though, but there was a nice small island where hildir and haldor spawn near each other that was kinda nice.

Alas, Haldor only.

[frail cave]

beginner here just started the game should i just follow the white arrow on the map

[lilac coyote]

That's just the wind direction.

[frail cave]

shit what should i do then

[lilac coyote]

Play the game.

[frail cave]

how do i start

[lilac coyote]

Listen to the bird, pick up everything, explore and have fun.

[frail cave]

mmm ok i see

[exotic hinge]

Can I get the jelly on the ceiling?

[steep tusk]

Did you try shooting it?

[steel cradle]

I've been trying to figure it out, and my trial and mostly nothing is happening, I think the range might not be that large, but still trialing. Also need to test hearths, but I want to check campfires first

[exotic hinge]

I did, but I'm a terrible shot at vertical ranges, so I'm not 100% sure I'm just not hitting it right

[rocky elk]

When I right click with the hammer to bring up the build menu, the menu only shows up for like a frame and then goes away, anyone know a fix?

[exotic hinge]

For troubleshooting purposes, try going to settings and rebinding it to a different, unused key and see if the problem persists

[coral dawn]

What is the easiest way to farm chains?

[steel cradle]

wraiths and sunken crypt chests afaik

[steep tusk]

Crypts definitely.

[steel cradle]

wraiths are only night spawns so its pretty slow

[steep tusk]

Without knowing it I have an entire stack of chains.

Just from crypts.

Inb4 they add "Looter" skill that gives you a chance to double what it in chests 😁

[exotic hinge]

Double in chests, doubtful, increase drop rates, much more likely comperativly

[steep tusk]

Never happening because they would to tag every chest in the game as spawned vs. built. And then also track all spawned chests for "first open" to make it so you couldn't cheese such a skill.

And that's an unnecessary amount of work.

[small canopy]

Heya, I got a question. Do the Hildir's items just give a stamina buff for the hammer or any tool (like cultivator and fishing in particular)? The wiki says hammer but the items in game say "base item".

[steel cradle]

I think it does for the hoe and the cultivator, not sure on the fishing though

[steep tusk]

Hammer, Hoe, Cultivator.

[coral dawn]

I just cleared 3 crypts and only have 9 chains lol. Bad luck?

[steep tusk]

RNG is RNG 🤷‍♂️

[steel cradle]

yeah they can be hit or miss

[small canopy]

thank you!

[compact heath]

I like building a tree house high up in the swamp, with wraith farming balconies around the site, go on the balcony at night and you have a decent chance to get a few extra chains especially if you properly live there

[tight wolf]

do chickens not make eggs in the black forest?

[compact heath]

they do if they happy and fed

[tight wolf]

they just need a fire, seeds. and a partner right?

[compact heath]

and I think shelter maybe not 100% sure about that

[tight wolf]

well they have that too

[compact heath]

and it has to be under the population limit which is like around 12 ish

[tight wolf]

oh ok they layed an egg, it just took like 4 days ig

thanks!

[compact heath]

no worries

[heady merlin]

i have the same issue as this person: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/IWI07xziPP there’s just a giant rock where the mysterious location is

and i have no idea where the original veg thing was

[frosty frost]

As the first comment says, the locations marked by vegvisirs before the bog witch update May have been scrambled around, try deleting the mark and again marking it with the vegvisir

[heady merlin]

okay i understand but is there a way to find the vegvisir cause it’s been a while and i don’t remember the cave it was in

[frosty frost]

Just go through caves untill you find the old one or a new one, other than that you could probably use commands but depends on you

[heady merlin]

what are the commands i could use?

[frosty frost]

I am not sure about the exact id of the mysterious location or Its vegvisir but Its the "find" command

[heady merlin]

thank you

[finite roost]

is there a way to regen the loot in charred fortress

my friends who don't even play anymore looted like all of them on my server

[cunning gulch]

how do you cook fish

[true steeple]

You need a food preparation table to turn fishes into raw fish, then cook that at a cooking station

[cunning gulch]

Thanks

[willow raft]

The thing on the right, the egg sack thing can be shot with an arrow and is easier to do from a few steps away the thing on the left isn't something you can click it is decoration.
You can build something under it get on it and jump and you won't see an interaction thingy pop up.

[tired root]

You could also throw a spear at them, saves arrows. It can alert nearby mobs tho.

[thorn spire]

You can’t break the jelly on the ceiling.

[steep galleon]

Any requirements for abominations to spawn or are they just rare? none are spawning for me

[true steeple]

You’re probably just getting unlucky

[mellow lodge]

we don't know exactly, but i believe there ARE certain conditions in the swamp necessary. some swamps are more suited, but also, just could be unlocky

aboms spawn checks ... 66m 40sec. 1 per 64x64 zone, and 35%

so if you're looking for them, find a big swamp, and keep moving and waste a lot of time there

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

oh, that's something i havn't noticed before. Abom biome is listed as "Swamp (full)" not all swamp mobs say (full)

i don't know what that means exactly

[frosty frost]

It means that the zone has to be 100% swamp, there cannot be any black forest or meadows or anything in the same zone

[echo sparrow]

My gut guess, all four "corners" have to be swamp-- like not biome edge

[mellow lodge]

yeah. all 64x64 squares have be swap bioime maybe

sorry, missed Asatru's statement above when i just said that lol

[subtle parrot]

If you see a stump that looks out of place, go towards it

[urban hearth]

does wishbone have any use in mistlands?

[mellow lodge]

i haven't heard of it finding anything there.

[stoic trench]

Nope

[cunning sorrel]

What all respawns in game? Other than animals/mobs. can dungeons respawn loot/mobs inside of them?

[echo sparrow]

dungeons mostly don't respawn their contents, except the mushrooms, and later on dungeons will respawn some enemies in them

the main loot content, in chests, and etc., is not respawned

[spring frigate]

if join with my character who is about to beat fader, do my friends world where they are yet to beat bonemass. Can i trigger fader related raids on thier base?

[frail cave]

only if the world has the player-based raids modifier ticked, otherwise progression is per world, not per character

[willow jungle]

Does the Frost effect from the Frost Arrow and the Draugr Fang bow stack? Or is it a waste to use Frost Arrows when you use this bow?

[frail cave]

draugr fang only has poison damage, no frost

[true steeple]

Damage from the bow and arrow are added together

[spring frigate]

how to check it it has? also default setting would have been world based?

[frail cave]

default is world-based, yea, your friend can see it in the world's modifier settings on the main menu

[willow jungle]

Ah, my bad. Does the Poison effect stack when you use Poison arrows or not?

[frail cave]

yes~~, but it's still poison so it sucks~~

[willow jungle]

Lmao, I know enough then haha. Thanks both of you ^^

[agile crown]

Eh, the poison makes the difference between 1 and 2 shotting drakes, which is nice

[frail cave]

against enemies that can die in one poison arrow, it's great yea!
buuut if you have to shoot more than once, you're likely just gonna cancel the damage of previous arrows to the point where you would've gotten more damage out of obisidian or needle

[agile crown]

Draugr fang with needle is what i meant

[frail cave]

oh, well yea you can't remove the poison damage from draugr fang, the bow is great because of all its other stats

but draugr fang with a poison arrow, which is normally obtainable earlier than needle arrows, should in theory also oneshot drakes without high levels

[urban hearth]

If I accidentally agro dvergers, do they ever calm down?

[mellow lodge]

nope

but it's just that group which will stay aggro. not all dvergers everywhere

[true steeple]

If you kill them they won't be aggro any more

[warm harness]

second time today that it says im being attacked by the swamp and no mobs shows up, but im at my base in another biome, is this normal?

[echo sparrow]

you may have spawnproofed well enough none spawn--if the center of the raid is such that its entire radius is 'covered' by spawnproofing objects' radii (such that no acceptable spawning locations exist), the raid will still trigger, but nothing will actually spawn; spawn blocking objects still work against raids

[warm harness]

probably this then, i have a bunch of crafting tables

[mellow lodge]

unless you're on an island, it's hard to completely spawnproof for a raid. the radius is bigger than the red circle

[echo sparrow]

yeah but for non flyer raids, definitely is possible

flyers, seem to have the ability to spawn over water or something--never can seem to fully suppress them

[mellow lodge]

yeah

[frail cave]

Hey, I just returned to Valheim to play it with a friend. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow add my Friend to a Ward that I activate

[echo sparrow]

it IS possible--just deactivate the ward, have the player to be added interact, reactivate it--boom

[frail cave]

ah lol o.o thanks!

[silver storm]

Why i can't see any potions when using cauldron?

[exotic hinge]

New workstation, check your build menu, Mead Kettil

[lilac coyote]

Because they're made in the mead ketill

[silver storm]

ooh

[low eagle]

Hey anyone can help? we have a server and some ** joined and put some bosses heads on the stones, is there a way or command to reset the stones in the spawn back to no boss heads?

[raw moat]

There are console commands for removing the keys triggered by defeating bosses (basically making the game forget that enemy died), but if I remember right it does not remove the heads from the stones. (Best to wait for someone else to verify that as I'm not 100% sure.) It may be best to look for the most recent backup version of the world and see if you're willing to roll the server back to that state.

[exotic hinge]

Yeah, I was going to hazard a guess that it would be a hard genie to stuff back in the bottle

[little trench]

gonna start mistlands for the first time. any advice?

[raw moat]

To further clarify a bit: Making the game forget the boss died will reset any raids tied to that boss, as well as what enemies spawn at night. So if that's your concern, it will still help.

[exotic hinge]

As with any new biome, ease into it; if you can, find a location where you can just go around the perimeter between Mistlands and some easier biome you can retreat to if you get overwhelmed and cause enemies to in-fight

Also, if you don't already know, ||there are passive Dvergr with green health bars that won't fight you if you don't piss them off or attack them||

Mark resources you come across to come back to later, you're initial goal should be to find ||an infested mine and get Dark Cores||

Also, a several heavy hitters in the mistlands have weakpoints I would have loved to have found out sooner than I did in my initial playthrough. ||Seeker Soldiers are weak to attacks from the rear and Gjall Blimp Bugs are weak on the underbelly, where it's all pimply and infested||

[lusty light]

Boss location not where it says on the map, how can i find the location?

[frosty frost]

Delete the mark and visit the vegvisir again

[exotic hinge]

Didn't know you could delete boss marks

[frosty frost]

You can the same way as any other 🙂 but to get it back you have to visit the vegvisir or the altar itself

[molten mountain]

hmm... this space feels like it should hold more than just 5 boars (they did eat all 16 carrots i dropped in there at the start of the session). Is there something weird going on, or is this how it's supposed to be? 🤔

[frosty frost]

Were you in vicinity all the time and did you sleep?

[exotic hinge]

Maybe they need some enteraintment, they are probably pretty Boar-ed

[molten mountain]

i did sail to a mining base to grab all the stone that was stored there, aside from that i was in the base all the time. I did sleep a few times

[exotic hinge]

My limited understanding is the breeding process requires supervision, but the growing process does not

[frosty frost]

When they eat and you go away the food timer still continues but the boars are frozen as the zone is unloaded, so after 10 minutes (the time 1 food item makes the animal "happy") the animal goes hungry again while it didnt do anything since the zone wasnt loaded, similar thing happens when you are sleeping, it fast forwards through the food timer and you effectively waste the food

[molten mountain]

ahhhh, that is good to know! i'll keep that in mind for next time. Thanks! 💙

[frosty frost]

You are welcome 🙂

[exotic hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/gi-joe-knowing-is-half-the-battle-knowing-battle-gif-25791425

[steep tusk]

Ok so

No one has been able to answer this in the 30+ years I have been alive.

WHAT IS THE OTHER HALF OF THE DAMN BATTLE?

[exotic hinge]

Application of knoweldge

[frosty frost]

The doing 😉

[steep tusk]

Those sound like cop-out answers tbh.

[exotic hinge]

I mean, Yin an Yang

[steep tusk]

If Yin is knowing, Yang would be ignorance 😉

[quasi vault]

Boars have a limit of 5 per 10 meter area, once they reach 5 they stop breeding

[raw moat]

Also, if all the food is clustered in one spot, then all 5 boars will be within the same radius when they're fed. Boars won't reproduce if there are 5 or more within a radius of 10m. It looks like the long side of that pen is 12-14m? It's very possible they're not getting far enough away from each other to reproduce more.

[exotic hinge]

Plan and Execute

You mean we can't cram the boars into a machine like Minecraft?

Well, I guess that even has a default limit of 24

[raw moat]

At least not by letting them amble about happily. There's plenty of automated/dropper farms that can force more into a space.

[quasi vault]

What I do with boars is just butcher all of them but 2, give them a carrot each, they will have 3-4 babies in the following minutes and 2 in-game days after I repeat the process once the babies are grown

[molten mountain]

ahhhh, that's probably what happened then

[mellow lodge]

it's why people setup boar towers. if it's 12 meters in the air, they will keep spitting out babies

[simple oriole]

fun making the boar farms a few times, just easier to find a 1 or 2 star boar, or two small pens. I just need boar meat until done with mtn

[elfin fog]

playing in a creative file with Debug mode, my camera just locked its max zoom out and i cant put it back

nvm relogging fixed it

[haughty path]

I'm playing on Xbox and it seems that when I try to put writing on a charcoal sign, it stays blank? Is anyone else having this issue?

[raw moat]

Have you tried turning the sign around? The front of the sign should have "..." visible on the front even before you put text on it.

[haughty path]

I've also just realized that the game will not allow me to title portals either

[subtle parrot]

Known issue, they're working on it

I also play on xbox, I know what you're going through

[haughty path]

Awesome thanks

[subtle parrot]

Yup, similar issue with naming tames as well, you'll get stuck in blocking mode until you hit the block button again and it won't change the name

[subtle parrot]

But, also if you can keep the sign/ portal names short, and try to do it real quick, you can still name them. At least in my experience. It might take 2 or even 3 tries though even still

[haughty path]

Yeah it was like that for me yesterday. I decided to give it a day and came back and still had the problem and that was when I realized the portal issue as well

[subtle parrot]

It's been like this since the bog witch release unfortunately

[hard bramble]

Anyone have any tips on fishing. It's kind of hard to tell when a fish is pulling and when is optimal to reel it in.

[exotic hinge]

Eat high stamina food, bind stamina pots to an easy to reach hotbar key to give you an emergency boost when needed

[hard bramble]

So theres no way to really do better besides just working the stamina restoration stuff. No actual skill is involved?

[exotic hinge]

I wouldn't say that, I've just not fished enough to get beyond the brute force methods. I'm sure there is a seasoned angler here with better tips

[hard bramble]

Gotcha

[true island]

Anyone have any idea as to why I cant use any commands? It throws this everytime I try anything at all. Was gonna try and update world for BogWitch or force spawn in.. but I cant even get to DevCommands lol

[fervent ravine]

are you using mods?

[true island]

I am

[fervent ravine]

V+?

[true island]

In Thunderstore

[fervent ravine]

I see this a lot with mod conflicts. I see youre using R2, Start a new world with all mods, build a respawn, and then restart with one or two mods disabled. Keep doing that till you isolate the issue.

[true island]

What is R2?

[exotic hinge]

[subtle parrot]

The easiest way is fishing off a shore, you can literally just walk backwards and pull them up onto shore. Even if you lose the catch they're on shore and you can grab them off the ground. Just be careful, they'll sometimes get caught on little bumps on the ground and that can snap the line.
I prefer fishing in the plains, groupers drop 2 raw fish per level 1 grouper, and 5 from a level 2.

[fervent ravine]

Also, you shouldnt need two portal mods. Xportal mod should cover portal needs.

[fervent ravine]

a mod manager

[lament hinge]

also, not meaning to be rude or anything here but you actually dont need many of these mods anymore, specifically portals and dropmoreloot. theyre now part of the world modifier settings

[true island]

I wasnt aware of the portals .. I have the one that lets me transfer with metal stuff.. and the other just lets me use one portal for everywhere. As far as the other I just havent took the time to go in and do anyting with it. It works right now.. I dont see a reason to mess with it. LOL

Also... it was the unrestricted portals mod.. thats the one causing the issue.

[lament hinge]

ah okay. can you explain what you mean by one portal for everywhere? because the metals one definitely comes under the portal setting modifier

[true island]

As in I can use one portal to access any portal I have placed down

[lament hinge]

ahhh okay fair enough

that is very cool

[ruby badge]

I had some technical issues yesterday...
Was playing my current world, I think I started it with mistland or shortly before so it went through some updates and changes.

Yesterday we wanted to find some seeker soldier trophys or a new Queen Lair since my mate didn't kill the boss yet. Unfortunatelly the Game crashed 3 times while exploring the mistlands in the far west, after a restart I was set back in my bed and he was still on his correct position. Once it seemed like the Server lost some minutes since a small portal house was missing, I still got the mats in my bag and the ship was some meters in the ocean.
The problems never happend in the ashlands biome, only in the mistlands.

I've got >700 hours in valheim and do not use mods but I would like if somethings wrong with my game or my world or if I have to start again in a new one. Would be great to know what I could check to prevent those issues.

Edit: I started the server on my PC, no other connection/internet problems

[frail cave]

Heya, just a quick question : what's the best way to find traders ? by foot or by boat? already day 120 in my playthrough and still haven't find the dwarf trader (haven't looked actively for him though until now)

[willow raft]

Boat, sail around and map all the black forest and meadows you can find.

[ruby badge]

he was faster... but yes, sailing is faster. Maybe use the buff of moder to make it easier

[frail cave]

He can appear in meadows ?

[ruby badge]

Hildir in the meadows, haldor black forest

[lapis terrace]

Haldor only apears in Black Forrest

[true steeple]

There’s a trader in all of the first three biomes

[willow raft]

There are 2 traders, Haldor is black forest, Hildir is meadows.

[ruby badge]

technically 3 including the last update 😉

[willow raft]

True, I keep forgetting the witch that is in the swamps.

[ruby badge]

yep. I was a bit surprised how big the sign of the witch is 😄

[ruby badge]

since you are here 😄 are there any know issues of game crashes of "older" worlds after the latest update? Or logs I could check?

[lapis terrace]

usually mod related crashes

[ruby badge]

I don't use any mods. I did long time ago but since a year I'm playing clean 😉

[lapis terrace]

if you still crash, I have doubts on cleaning 🤔

but it's mostly from all other people who also had issues with old mods still lingering around 😦

C:\Users\ <username> \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

player and player-prev are the logfiles

[ruby badge]

hm... I'll check that. Is it possible that my mate got old mods running which crashes the game?

[lapis terrace]

any old mods

we update the game engine quite frquently, and that breaks mods

[tropic granite]

Why

[ruby badge]

alright. I'll check and let him check as well.
I was surprised since I didn't have any problems in other biomes, only in the mistland.

Thanks for your help 😉

[lapis terrace]

easily explained.

Mods changes or add lines to our gamefiles
but if we change around what is on those lines, it just doesn't work anymore

[tropic granite]

Sounds logical, though I can't remember many new things after the BogWitch update that could break my mods

[true steeple]

The update doesn't need to be related to the mods in any way to break them

[lapis terrace]

the entire game engine update is big enough to make sure mods are up to date 😄

could be mods using game engine files or lines

[tropic granite]

So, having started a conversation I have another question - when will the spear attack hitbox be increased?

[lapis terrace]

when?

I never heard we promised to do that

[true steeple]

The hitbox matches the animation pretty well, nothing needs to change

And it's best not to change movesets of weapons players have been practicing with for years

[ruby badge]

sorry to start a conversation with you 😄 now you're stuck 😄

[tropic granite]

It's too little since valheim released and many people still hate this

[lapis terrace]

it is part of my job to talk to users 😉

[true steeple]

People using knives don't complain about their small hitboxes

[tropic granite]

Knives aren't spears though

[subtle parrot]

Just don't fight on a hill

[true steeple]

But why are the knife users happy with what they've got and spear users feel the need to ask for more?

[lapis terrace]

just like axe users vs sword users are unhappy over the shorter reach?

or melee weapon users are angry on mages?

[ruby badge]

i personally hate those caster.... 😄 can't see anything if they blast their fireball...

[subtle parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/dn-d-fireball-liam-obrien-caleb-widogast-critical-role-gif-14611286

[tropic granite]

Knives have huge backstab bonus, fast attacks and powerful alternative attack, spears only have fast attacks (throwing it may be dangerous)
Actually I hate everything because knockback is too much to hit all 3 attacks, but axes are the worst in this case

[lapis terrace]

knife users are envious on spear users because they can't kill drakes

and spears are the cheapest weapon in the entire game to make 🤔

[tropic granite]

Spear-mains can also throw it 3356 meters away in Mountain

Probably skill issue

[lapis terrace]

Personally I look at the weapons as diffrent tools to use

[subtle parrot]

I would switch to a bow tbh

[willow raft]

It's a bit like this:
Before it was 12345
Your mods adds 67
Bog witch comes along and now we have 123456 your mod still adds 67
So now you have 12345667
Yeah that isn't correct, bleep --> crash.

[lapis terrace]

or like 201 is the one defining "E" key as "use" keyt
mod now changes line 201 to adding a volvo station vagen with laser beams

E key stop working 🤔

(This has happend btw)

[true steeple]

It's mainly the engine version update that would've been breaking things, not new content

[willow raft]

It's like a story (Vanilla Valheim) with markings in the white space (mods), now the story gets changed and the markings are all at the wrong spot.

[rough garden]

I'm off to find The Elder with the winds in my sails and a portal in my pocket. Any first time advice?

[ruby badge]

Don't get hit, don't panic and place the portal a bit away 😉

[somber patrol]

Kite and fire arrows 🤙

[small nest]

next time you sail try to build better boat, the raft is absolutely terrible and for longer exploration the 2nd boat is safer and faster

[molten mountain]

i recommend making some bronze nails so that you unlock the recipe for a better, faster boat. There is a certain creature that can spawn on the ocean that will shred rafts

[rough garden]

See, I kept looking at them and didn't make them. Thanks!

[raven palm]

Hey, is there a way how to tilt/add angle to world objects like rocks when spawning via commands?

[true steeple]

No. I think objects always spawn facing north.

[unreal jay]

how do i get health permanently? i increased my health by eating food, but now my health is slowly dropping. Why is that?

[true steeple]

Food stats very slowly decay as the timer decreases. When their timer is halved, you can eat more food, but the stats don't drop much until you have 20-10% time left so you don't need to eat again until they've nearly ran out.
You cannot permanently increase your stats.

[willow raft]

Except with mods probably.

[scenic sphinx]

food is your bonus health, your real health is always low, by progressing throw the game you unlock stronger food that gives you more HP or Stamina and some foods can last for 50min

[steep tusk]

How? -> You don't.
Why? -> Because they designed the game that way.

[subtle parrot]

Look for more burial chambers to find a vegvisir so you don't have to sail as much, also make a karve if you wanna sail a bit better

[dense sable]

Anyone know how to upload the new _FooTexCache files to a server? Everything I see describes using the deprecated .fwl and .db files.

[tranquil lion]

how do you paddle a karve? Or any other boat for that matter?

[true steeple]

Move forward once, so there's one arrow over the wheel

[dense sable]

Just get on the boat and 'use' the tiller to steer.

Really need some help maybe getting these new world files to upload to a server if any developer types are around.

[tranquil lion]

I see it now. I thought there was like a manual way to paddle and use sails

[willow raft]

1 time forwards is paddle, 2 times is half mast, 3 times is full mast.
1 time back is paddling backwards and that is the only thing available to go backwards.
All have their uses, half mast is good for when you want to dock precisely, full mast open ocean with wind in the sails, paddling more maneuverability and good for when there is no wind.

[tranquil lion]

On another note what do you do if the ship gets stuck? Just break it collect the mats and rebuild?

[dense sable]

NM. The world files simply default to saving on the cloud which gives your the _fooTexCache files. I literally see no references to this anywhere but so be it. You simply must manipulate the 'save' itself from the valheim menu in the world load screen and save it locally then you have access to the .fwl and .db.

Unsure why this is not referenced anywhere really.

[willow raft]

Depends where it gets stuck, you can also break the thing it got stuck on.

[slow orchid]

is the demolisher viable at all?

[true steeple]

I don't think so because it's so slow at killing things but other people here will probably disagree

[lament hinge]

do not dig underneath and place the portal, his stomp will break it easily

[true steeple]

I always dig underneath and haven't had any problems. You aren't digging deep enough.
You don't need to go down as far as possible, just a few metres below the surface.

[slow orchid]

just asking cuz ive been mainly using the carapace spear the entire mistlands and im getting close to fighting a queen and i just realized shes specifically resistant to pierce so im looking into alternatives. i know the mist sword is really really good but im lvl 0 in swords (i wanted to play thru with weapon times i dont usually use)

im lvl 57 w clubs and 65 w spears and pretty much 0 w everything else

[willow raft]

You can try the frostner or go magic.

[slow orchid]

i guess i could try magic yeah

[true steeple]

A high level frostner should work well enough

[slow orchid]

tho i'll have to grind levels a bit.. and like at that point i could just make mistwalker and grind swords..

yeah frostner then, i guess

i rly wish there were more viable maces 😔

[true steeple]

All other bosses have good maces to kill them with. For Moder it's best to use iron mace, but that's only one biome behind, not two.

[frigid linden]

Maces are one of the best weapon types in this game lol, they don't have a viability issue at all

If anything it just shows how good frostner is that even with the other maces being good, it's still shining even past the biome it's introduced in

[tired root]

It's very good 3 biomes up.

[frigid linden]

The starting club is so good, cheap and low opportunity cost to upgrade, with swamp enemies having lots of blunt weakness that while being the very first weapon you get, it's still relevant 2 biomes later.

And that relevance carries on to later as that means more mace weapon skill

And that's a common theme with maces, they have a long time before their expiry.

I imagine in the full release of the game frostner only stops being useful once you finish ashlands

But yeah, porcupine let's you have piercing damage while still using mace skill, frostner for fighting crowds and cc, Flametal mace for more raw blunt damage and you get to upgrade that however you like. I don't think there's any other melee weapon type that can compete with that versatility.

[dusty socket]

What’s the best weapon set to use for the 5th boss? Should I stick with frostner or black metal sword?

Also what kind of food? I’m using the fire res lox meat, deer soup and carrot soup

[frigid linden]

If you have the silver sword, silver sword actually outdamages blackmetal vs the 5th boss.

Frostner does a good job as well of course

Silver knife likewise is good.

In fact silver anything

[dusty socket]

I have a level 3 frostner, I’ve been using that but would the silver sword be a better option?

[frigid linden]

If you have higher mace combat skill and not much in swords I'd just stick with frostner.

[dusty socket]

Alright, any kind of foods I should be using?

[dusty socket]

In using these atm.

[frigid linden]

For food, you're missing some very good foods there, have you upgraded your cauldron? Did you ever find turnip seeds?

You'd wanna use stuff like lox meat pie, blood pudding, serpent stew for the 5th boss

[dusty socket]

I should be able to upgrade my cauldron and I don’t think I have found any.

Never even heard of those 2 things lol

[frigid linden]

Turnips are required for one of the cauldron upgrades and when I see out of date foods itsnusually cause turnips were never found

[dusty socket]

How do you find them?

[tired root]

Somewhere in Swamps.

[dusty socket]

I may have to look up what they look like.

[dusty socket]

And I just realized you said lox meat pie? How do you make that?

[frigid linden]

Turnip seeds cam be found In the swamp, like carrot seeds in black forest. They're quite rare though.

Lox meat pie is unusual in that you make an uncooked version at a food preparation table and then stick it inside a stone oven. It needs barley flour as well though, which itself requires a windmill.

[tired root]

Try find yellow flowers (for seeds), similar to carrot seed flowers in Black forest.

[frigid linden]

There's a lot of farming and processing chores the plains opens you up to

[dusty socket]

I did make some barley flour I have about 7 but I didn’t know what it could be used for.

[frigid linden]

If you have a food preparation table you should be able to use it to make uncooked bread and lox meat pie to stick in the stone oven.

With a level 4 cauldron it also makes blood pudding, which is the best stam food available in the plains

Bread is a cheap stamina food, something you can make in bulk really easily and is good to eat while just building or going to older biomes

[dusty socket]

I have like 20 portals so thankfully I don’t have to do muck travel.

Thanks though this helps a lot I didn’t even know how to use most of the stuff you said and I learned a lot of other types of food.

[frigid linden]

Do you have a barley/flax farm set up somewhere? Or did you get everything from raiding villages?

Cause barley and flax can be planted on cultivated soil in the plains

[dusty socket]

I do have a flax farm but I just finished getting it all I have around 200+ and some barley about 100

[pure portal]

is the wind coded to be always in front of you? literally every saling i do its with the wind badly and in front of my direction, only one time was good and was for a 30 seconds sailing

[frigid linden]

So for a tip, if you set up a farm where you have 2 windmills and plant 100 barley, it sustainably makes a stack of 20 bread every single farm cycle. While it's not the best stamina food for the plains, and of course is outclassed later, it's cheap, low effort food that is good for building

[dusty socket]

Just unlucky.

[frail cave]

not only is the wind random, but it's consistent for every world and seed, here's a tool that can predict what weather, wind direction and wind speed you'll get in each biome at what time on which day http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1

[dusty socket]

Ngl all my “farm” is, is just a small cultivated land with raised ground to protect it.

[frigid linden]

Yeah it doesn't need to be fancy, but I do suggest building windmills near your barley farm because those blades actually kill deathsquitos, offering you a bit of extra protection

[dusty socket]

Maybe at some time if you want (it’ll be in like 4-5h tho) you can check out what I got going on.

[frigid linden]

But of course the main lesson learned here is don't sleep on upgrading the cauldron. Those foods are very worth grabbing

[dusty socket]

Yeah I think that just got added right?

I don’t remember seeing things to upgrade it till recently

[frigid linden]

Cauldron upgrades have been here since before mistlands - though the food preparation table and mead ketil are new.

[dusty socket]

a.

[frigid linden]

But they just took some recipes away from the cauldron in part, eg bread base and uncooked lox pie used to be made at a cauldron

You should be able to make lox meat pie right away at one of those tables in fact

[dusty socket]

Yeah I didn’t know what they did so I haven’t actually made them

[frigid linden]

Again it used to be done at the cauldron so some confusion is to be expected

[frail cave]

(since september 16th 2021 to be specific, hearth & home added the concept of cauldron upgrades)

[echo sparrow]

i'm still not entirely sure the change to take half the food from behind cauldron gates is a good justifiable decision

[dusty socket]

Yeah as soon as I saw the mead kettle I went to go see it and they were gone

[echo sparrow]

like it's half, not all, but it TENDS (the 2 step food that went to the table) to be the BETTER half of the food options...

it's just weird to me to be a deliberate design choice

[frigid linden]

It's kinda weird to make uncooked foods over a fire as well though right?

[dusty socket]

also, what is the serpent stew?

[frail cave]

at least they're still gated behind the oven

[dusty socket]

You need a fire for that? xd

[frigid linden]

It uses serpent meat, requires level 3 cauldron

[echo sparrow]

oh my gripe isn't they don't make more sense at the prep table, it's that the prep table doesn't share upgrade reqs with cauldron upgrades in a certain radius OR have it's own set of upgrades

[frigid linden]

Nah, was talking about the old system, speaking to third archon about it

[dusty socket]

Ngl I’ve never killed one I do have a Abyssal thing tho

[frail cave]

level 2 cauldron, the biome progression is offset by one since you only get the cauldron in black forest

[dusty socket]

Ah alright

[frigid linden]

If you've never killed one don't worry, it means your 2 best health foods are instead lox meat pie and (I think) wolf skewer

Depends, I don't knownif you fight with 2 hp 1 stam or 1 hp 2 stam

[dusty socket]

Nah I go no problem going out to kill one for the food

How many do I get per kill?

[dusty socket]

I’m fine with maybe 2 hp since I can make stam potions

[frigid linden]

Like 7? They're not particularly common enemies though, it's only slightly better than lox meat pie and you get better food in the mistlands anyway. I wouldn't worry too much about hunting serpents

If you're a competent fighter lox meat pie and wolf skewer should be fine (again I'm not sure if there's a food I'm missing)

[frail cave]

fish wraps

[dusty socket]

Yeah but after what I went through the first time with the boss I wanna be over over prepped for it

[frigid linden]

Oh of course, fish wraps. I don't do fishing lol, that explains why I missed them

[echo sparrow]

fish wraps are bomb

[frail cave]

same

[dusty socket]

So what should I use for 2 hp and 1 stam?

[true steeple]

I'd use a lox pie, serpent stew and bread

[echo sparrow]

it's actually super easy, because you can get so many raw fish from each individual fish when they're higher quality, to make fish wraps

[frigid linden]

For 2 hp and 1 stam BiS for plains is lox meat pie, serpent stew and blood pudding

[echo sparrow]

and you don't really NEED the harpoon for serpent stew--the meat floats, it's the trophy and scales that sink

at least I think the trophy sinks, the scales certainly do

[frigid linden]

But bread is way easier to make than blood pudding, and fish wraps/wolf skewer are easier to make than serpent stew

[echo sparrow]

100%

[dusty socket]

I’d rather getting the better product and harder to make then the easiest one.

[true steeple]

The gap between blood pudding and bread is very small

[dusty socket]

Ig I might as well ask how to make the blood pudding

[frigid linden]

They're small differences, is why I say it. Technically blood pudding is bis but there's not much in it

[dusty socket]

I’ll check out the stats ig

[dusty socket]

Alright, I’ll stick with bread and the 2 others

[frigid linden]

If you have lots of bloodbags and thistle lying about then it won't be a problem, since blood pudding is bloodbags, thistle and barley flour

It's just they're older biome materials, and used for other recipes too hence it's technically more effort to make them if you don't have the cats on hand

[true steeple]

You won't need to make many because you unlock mistland food very early

[dusty socket]

Ah that’s not too bad

[frigid linden]

Yeah, and salad is both easier to make and better

[dusty socket]

How do you make bread just barley flour?

[frigid linden]

10 barley flour makes 2 bread bases, and you cook in the Stone oven (it cooks 4 at a time). Stone oven works the same as the cooking stations where you hang meat, leave it too long and it burns

[true steeple]

And now you have the chance for extra bread

[frigid linden]

Also, worth noting that bread stacks 20, vs blood pudding stacking 10

So while blood pudding is better it does take more inventory space

[dusty socket]

Then I go to the food table to get bread and lox meat onto a pie?

[frigid linden]

Yeah, you make uncooked recipes at the table, then take them to the stone oven

[dusty socket]

So I have to cook the bread mead and then make the pie and then cook it again?

[echo sparrow]

and the whole time the crafting bar is filling you have to say "come on, no whammy, no whammy, no whammy, no whammy, no whammy, no whammy, no whammy..." as it increases the chance of getting an extra uncooked pie at the table or a cooked pie out of the oven

[frigid linden]

The pie and the bread aren't cooked when you first make them, there's no waiting you just press a button to make them, like if you were crafting at the workbench

[dusty socket]

Xd

[frigid linden]

You only have to wait when they're in the oven

[dusty socket]

It says to make it I need cloud berries 2 lox meat and barley flour

[frigid linden]

For lox meat pie yes

[echo sparrow]

don't they have the same craft interface of any station--I was PRETTY sure one of the neat things people had noticed about the 2 step foods was you can actually roll the crafting/cooking extra one EACH step

[dusty socket]

Ah I thought I needed to make bread and then the pie

[echo sparrow]

could be wrong though--certainly have been before

[frigid linden]

No. They're 2 separate recipes, and you can stick pie and bread in the oven at the same time, like how you could stick boar meat and deer meat on the cooking station at the same time

[dusty socket]

You should be right that would fall under the cooking skill

[frigid linden]

It is correct yes, the food prep table uncooked meals are especially good because you get multiple chances to make extras, vs only one at the cauldron

[quasi vault]

Wasn't the case for the prep table in the PTB, now it is, but you had twice the chance for the recipes that needed cooked meat

[dusty socket]

Wanna add me (in discord) and then after I’m done school u might be able to help me?

[frigid linden]

Sure, I got a lot of travelling to do later, could kill the time a bit

[quasi vault]

And by the way there was always more option than just HHS and HSS and now with the feasts there's just so many combination you can go for

[frigid linden]

Before feasts the balanced foods weren't really worth it, with feasts they kinda are now. Triple health and triple stam are always playable too, I just assume cause most people ove spoken to play 2 hp 1 stam or 1 hp 2 stam (this is pre mistlands remember, other setups don't exist yet which is why I'm not discussing them)

[dusty socket]

What’s a feast?

[echo sparrow]

new kind of food, added in the last update

[dusty socket]

They any good?

[echo sparrow]

they last like double duration of all others and tend to have decent balanced stats--I find them useful (i still maintain they each need a single unique, small, status effect buff as a 'cherry on top' to really bring out a special 'wow' factor I feel is missing from them now)

[quasi vault]

triple health is my go to, I just put more importance in being able to parry stronger attacks, heal faster and be able to survive more hits and status effects than on being able to use more stamina before you need to recover

[dusty socket]

Does the 5th boss despawn after being summoned and not defeated?

[echo sparrow]

no bosses do

do you now have a wild yagluth running somewhere around your world?

[dusty socket]

Yes…… there at the alter tho so it’s alr but that’s really helpful ty

And he heals 😭

[frigid linden]

Yeah, it's ideal to try and do as much damage as you can in one fight, if you need to retreat hopefully it's not for long

[frosty frost]

All mobs do, at the rate of 100% per hour 🙂 and sleeping affects it too

[frigid linden]

Yagluth is actually quite dangerous, a big jump up from the bosses that came before in my opinion

He's fine if you know how to deal with him but a first time fighting him can be quite rough

[dusty socket]

I had it at 1/4 hp..

(With my brothers help) he didn’t do much tho xd

Bro it was stressful

[frigid linden]

Even with fire resist mead he hurts quite a bit

[dusty socket]

I had only battle equipment on me and the portal broke so I had to use frostner to break bushes and find where it broke then dodge all the attacks and name the portal 😭

[dusty socket]

I stack that sh with bonemas

[frigid linden]

I had a ruined save because of a portal not being set up in time on my first visit to the mistlands

I got ambushed by 2 1 star seekers. That was my first impression of the mistlands

[willow raft]

I use Fenris set for Yagluth, you are fast to dodge his attacks and it has build in fire resist for the times you do get hit.

[dusty socket]

Here’s my first.
“Oh look what’s that? OHH TURN THE BOAT AROUND I SEE A PINK RABBIT yeah let’s not go there right now… that’s another mistlands??? Why is there 3 mistlands islands beside eachother??”

[frigid linden]

I would advise if possible your first venture into the mistlands you set up a portal in another biome that's sitting close

[dusty socket]

Yeah..

For my moder fight to get there was a mission.

[frigid linden]

The mistlands usually aren't that dangerous, but starred seekers, seeker soldiers and gjall can all be really rough encounters early into the biome

[dusty socket]

Right side: plains biome
Left side: mistlands:
so we had to climb it and it was realllllly tall and steep

[frigid linden]

Yeah, that's mistlands. Very up and down, highly vertical

[dusty socket]

How do ticks work?

I read about em they sound scary

[echo sparrow]

when they jump on you they "stick" and then do rapid damage per second

[willow raft]

Luckily it wasn't the killer rabbit of Caerbannog.

[dusty socket]

Yeah…

[frigid linden]

You can shake them off if they latch in using dodge roll. They attack you constantly while latched

[echo sparrow]

you can parry to stop them latching, you can dodge roll to get them off, if you have an atgeir, the spin secondary attack should knock them off IIRC

[dusty socket]

At least there’s a way to get em off

[frigid linden]

Armored builds can afford to have ticks latch for a bit, but not too long. They're extremely dangerous to squishy builds

[willow raft]

If you have the ember staff just aim at your feet and blast away.

[dusty socket]

Was just a 1 star hare thing

[frigid linden]

It's like 50 damage per instance of hitting you

[dusty socket]

…

How common are they and where they spawn at

[frigid linden]

Without heavy armor and with how frequently the damage occurs its lethal very quickly

[echo sparrow]

infested mines and gjalls add them

[dusty socket]

So I don’t have to worry abt them exploring

[frigid linden]

If you see them in the wild follow where they came from

[echo sparrow]

(add as in, spawns them in)

[willow raft]

If you tick of a gjall, you'll find out.
They are also found in infested mines.

[dusty socket]

?

[frigid linden]

Because ticks spawn near a resource you want to be grabbing

[echo sparrow]

oh yeah, forgot those naturally overworld spawning ones

i believe those are one of the "one time POI spawns"

[dusty socket]

I don’t think I “want” to follow them😅

[echo sparrow]

you do want what they are guarding, desperately \

[frigid linden]

And in fact that's a common theme with the mistlands biome, enemies are scary but if toy see lots of seekers or ticks spawning in one spot it's usually because there's something important there

[dusty socket]

What is it?

[echo sparrow]

they're not that bad, low health--think of them like deathsquitos except not able to fly

[frigid linden]

Spoilers 😉

[dusty socket]

:/

[echo sparrow]

ooze bombs work well against them, as do AoE/large attack weapons (2 handed hammers etc)

[dusty socket]

Alright lol I gtg for now

[dusty socket]

5 dmg??

[echo sparrow]

poison cloud

[frigid linden]

Ticks don't have much hp

They die to one hit from most things. Like most things in this game they're ultra dangerous, but only really lethal if you're caught with no stamina

And again, 50 damage sounds like a lot but even squishy armor builds will halve that at least so realistically each instance of damage is more like 25, or for heavily armored builds you're looking at 13 - 15 damage

[echo sparrow]

now the 2 star ticks SHOULD fill you with a sense of existential dread on sight

[quasi vault]

Anything with 2 star in the mistlands to be fair

[true steeple]

If a tick attacks you, you can roll to get it off

[frigid linden]

If something is spawning with 2 stars in the mistlands, it's either night time or you're inside an infested mine

[quasi vault]

Seekers one time spawn around POI can have 2 stars

[frigid linden]

I don't think ticks even have stars unless you're inside a mine

[dusty socket]

I don’t wanna know.

[true steeple]

Seeker soldiers can spawn with two stars anywhere

[frigid linden]

That's... kinda terrifying. I have yet to encounter a 2 star seeker soldier. Hopefully if I do there are no other enemies to interfere with the fight lol

[dusty socket]

How are ashlands? I bet there fun
I never been

[true steeple]

It was the first enemy I found in mistlands

[frigid linden]

I have not made it to the ashlands yet, I'm currently 7/9 fragments in mistlands

[echo sparrow]

soldiers are honestly one of the easiest enemies

[dusty socket]

Fragments?

[frigid linden]

The thing you need to fight the boss

[echo sparrow]

they're slow, they can't even fly like many of the enemies, no ranged attack, weak spot on the butt

[frigid linden]

I still need to find 2 more

[echo sparrow]

you literally just climb up a rock of which there are an abundance in the mistlands, and the soldier just has to glare at you while it dies

[dusty socket]

Sounds like fun.

[frigid linden]

Soldiers seem to be able to climb up even the steepest of surfaces

[echo sparrow]

not IME

[frigid linden]

They're able to follow me most places, not everywhere of course

[echo sparrow]

certainly, by the time they finally pathfind until they're in melee range, you can just leap to another rock--admittedly, this is all SO much easier once you acquire the feather cape

[frigid linden]

In an infested mine there were 3 seeker soldiers in a pit, feeling safe I stood on the staircase to fire arrows at them and one of them climbed up another's back and headbutted me to the floor lol

[true steeple]

Don't forget lightfoot mead too

[quasi vault]

Soldiers switch between 2 attack, one of them is a charge the other he does this attack where he attack each side of after the other. I wait for that attack, parry it from the side and use the sword special attack on his butt, it does about 1000 damage each time and is easy to execute

[frigid linden]

There's a 3rd attack which is just a bite

[true steeple]

I parry then jump over to attack behind

[frigid linden]

If I can ill try and get to a point where a seeker soldier is stuck, then use a crossbow to fire at their bum

Or, I'll drag one into water then use ice damage

[quasi vault]

@true steeple At first I wasn't sure if you were trolling with the jumping attacks but since I heard you say you can just jump in the water if you are on fire I am pretty sure you are. But be honest, are you trolling?

[frigid linden]

Or of course strat 3, kite to my friendly neighbourhood dverger encampment

[true steeple]

I am not trolling.

[willow raft]

Your a blob, you'd be rolling.

[quasi vault]

I tried that jumping technique on a brute while I was just farming eyes. Got hit every single time trying to jump over the attack for the 30 seconds I tried it until I asked myself what the hell am I doing?

[true steeple]

Enemies are bigger in high difficulties, were you playing above normal?

[quasi vault]

Hard

[true steeple]

That's a 10% size increase then. Were you also using lightfoot mead (or feather cape if it was pre-bog witch?)

[quasi vault]

I was in troll armor

[serene tangle]

I wonder if with big enough enemies crouching would work to evade the attack, at least for some enemies

[last kindle]

I've a question: how can one like me play with friends in our private match? what do i have to do? how to host?

(now i hope this is the correct section)

[mellow lodge]

one of the friends has to host the server. then the other friends connect to it

[last kindle]

how does hosting work? i tried in the past, but friend kept to be launched away

do i need some kind of server provider? can i be a server provider? our connection was pretty solid, i was on pc and he was on xbox

[mellow lodge]

you don't need a provider. you can host it yourself, yes

and just make sure crossplay is enabled on the startup

[last kindle]

mmmh

ok ty

is there a couple of people to try a hosted by me session?

from pc

[dusty socket]

What do u gotta do to get magic?-

[quasi vault]

The list is pretty long, hugin will tell you

[mellow lodge]

get to the mistlands is the first step. and then listen to the bird, yes

[dusty socket]

U need the one crafting bench right?

[quasi vault]

Yes

[dusty socket]

What do you gotta do to make that?

[quasi vault]

Follow ticks, rob the dvergr, clear the infested mines ...

[dusty socket]

Dang.

I’m cooked

[quasi vault]

It will be fun, trust the process

[dusty socket]

“Fun”

Getting ra*** by ticks don’t sound “fun”

[crimson lotus]

what should i upgrade bronze buckler or bronze mace, i only have enough to upgrade one then go to swamp

[mellow lodge]

Ticks are basically the easiest monsters you’ll run into there. Just roll if they latch on you and smack him.

[lament hinge]

what level are they currently at?

i would try make sure both are at at least lvl 2 before you go to swamp

[crimson lotus]

both are 1, also is it okay to use the mace even if the skill elvel is too low?

[lament hinge]

it should only be 9 bronze for both to get to lvl 2

[crimson lotus]

because before mace i was using atgeir

[lament hinge]

whats your skill lvl?

anything at or over 20 is probably fine, but id recommend around 25

you probably want to be at the point of one hitting blobs with the mace secondary attack

[crimson lotus]

mace is 14

[crimson lotus]

alrightt, i'll level it up a few then thanks

[quasi vault]

Do you have a fermenter?

[lament hinge]

you WILL die without poison resist, i have 1100hrs and still sometimes die without it

[quasi vault]

If you don't use that bronze to make one and start making poison resist, that will be way more useful in the swamp than any gear upgrade

[lament hinge]

i reckon get it to 20 and you’ll be golden

id massively recommend a lvl3 finewood bow with flint arrows too

[crimson lotus]

yes

[crimson lotus]

aight thanks for the tips and yes i have finewood bow l3

[lament hinge]

thats all good, yeah if you get club skill up to 20 you should be more than fine

and don’t explore at night until you have iron gear, just to avoid wraiths

happy to assist further if you need man 👍

[little trench]

any advice to find infested mines?

[quasi vault]

@little trench There is always a one time spawn of a group of seeker around the mines, so if you get attacked by a group of 3 or more during the day, it's likely there's a mine nearby, otherwise just by seeing the structure and wisp lights around them

But the best advice is probably just to cover a lot of ground in the mistlands by traversing it efficiently. It's achieved by avoiding to climb on rock formations and sticking to land and never backtracking by always having a portal on you

[little trench]

yea the mountains are super aids. i have to climb all the time and theres always some annoying gjall around ugh

[quasi vault]

That's why the low ground is better, you don't need to jump, you are less likely to be seen by gjall and the mines don't spawn on top of the rocks, they spawn on the ground.

[lament hinge]

no shame in using the online map tool either

[echo sparrow]

unironically for this specific scenario I wouldn't even feel bad and did, because they're so goddamn easy to miss (and sure enough there were like 3 in areas I had run around for days in-game, exploring and reexploring, and still kept running by the entrance of)

[lament hinge]

i dont use it in any other biome except mistlands, because exploration in mistlands can get really boring and annoying

[echo sparrow]

like it'd NORMALLY kinda ruin a lot of the intended fun/challenge for me, knowing what's on the map and where and just going directly to it

but yeah EXACTLY--for SPECIFICALLY mistlands, it's not fun just running over the same square inch of ground for hours

we really need upgraded wisplights--silver and wisps, or whatever, additional tiers

[lament hinge]

even with the map i sometimes struggle to find shit because they can be tucked behind so many obstacles

[echo sparrow]

adds more floating lights and/or expanded reveal radius/radii of each/the one

[lament hinge]

i think a speed increase would be great too. if you’re sprinting you actually outrun the wisplight and it does next to nothing

[lament hinge]

id be more than happy to grind a few more silver if it meant better visibility

[true steeple]

I think the current visibility is fine in mistlands. It wouldn't feel very misty if we could see everywhere

[lament hinge]

true, it does feel a little clunky tho

[true steeple]

I always use a lot of wisp torches when I explore mistlands

[lament hinge]

nahhhh i hate grinding yggdrasil wood haha

[echo sparrow]

I don't wanna have to spam the shitty torches just to see in areas I'm not settling--the item that's SUPPOSED to provide mobile visibility is very underwhelming at it's supposed use, hence why I think an upgrade is due

and also, a good excuse for more grind that actally provides value

silver, wisps, both could use more "demand" sources, and a good excuse same time add refined eitr mat requirement for higher levels

i.e. to start upgrading, you'll need to start harvesting some biome mats

[true steeple]

Black cores?

[echo sparrow]

or those--maybe a bit too expensive given their rarity, but I'd be open to that

[lament hinge]

i like using wisp torches in my mistlands base but NOT everywhere i go in the biome

[steep tusk]

An upgrade?

You mean... moving out?😉

[echo sparrow]

yeah that's how I feel about them, or areas not necessarily base but high trafficked, but i certainly don't devote a slot to a wood stack and slot to a wisp stack tobuild as I go

[echo sparrow]

you mean like, moving out of the biome lol?

[lament hinge]

exactly yeah

[steep tusk]

exactly yeah

[lament hinge]

inventory full enough

[scenic sphinx]

shield or buckler?

[steep tusk]

Depends on if you're good at parrying.

[little trench]

i guess whatever gives most parry bonus

[echo sparrow]

i always take bucklers when I can but it def depends upon if you parry or not (you generally should, especially 1 v1 fights where you have the least difficulty, only having to anticipate and time the block against one attack, as you get way more armor on a parry with a buckler than anythign else always)

[echo sparrow]

it's always bucklers--bucklers always give the highest block armor on parry but lowest on regular block, tower shield the exact opposite (cannot even parry, but the highest flat regular blocking armor) and "round/regular" shields are an inbetween

with higher block armor than even a tower, on a parry, still less than equivalent buckler tho, but more flat block armor than non-parrying buckler (but less than tower)

[steep tusk]

Matters only if you're good at parrying. Hence my initial question.

[echo sparrow]

ability, preference (some could, but perhaps just prefer not to parry), but also situation--in the Ashlands for instance I'd argue there's so many enemies most of the time, that it's actually not so bad having no buckler option, because the round shield does still parry pretty well IME, and the upside is it works way better than a buckler would against masses of enemies where it's much more difficult and/or just impractical to constantly parry all of them rather than 'regular' block

[true steeple]

I recommend shields for health diets and bucklers for stamina diets, but if you're exclusively going to use your shield for parrying, always use a buckler

[scenic sphinx]

is this boss spawn item? how many do i need?

[true steeple]

You need nine

[steep tusk]

One can assume you need 9.

[dusty socket]

Do people in mistlands use magic at all or is it bad?

[frosty frost]

Oh plenty of people use it 😄

[steep tusk]

Many people go full mage immediately.

[mellow lodge]

i started using magic in ashlands. but i could have gone full mage immediately

i mean, i did ashlands mage from the start, with mistlands gear. so it would have been even better in mistlands

[frosty frost]

I am normally using melee but i think i will go for mage this playthrough 😄

[dusty socket]

My brother watched a passive play through and he saw the guy use a weird blue thing and he threw it on the ground and it agrod the boss, what is that?

[dusty socket]

Is melee and magic good?

[frosty frost]

Eh? I dont think there is anything like that, might be modded

[mellow lodge]

i haven't really tried it. but it seems hard to combine them because of the eitr requirements

[dusty socket]

He said when he put it on the ground it like broke apart or something

[mellow lodge]

you want a lot of eitr to be able to cast your bubble. and with low skill, that requires 2 eitr foods

[true steeple]

EES diet provides enough stamina for melee combat

[frosty frost]

I really dont know what that is, i dont belive there is anything like that in vanilla game

[dusty socket]

Idk either he did say it looked like a dragon tier tho

[quasi vault]

That was probably eitr that he dropped, it can damage anything around it

[mellow lodge]

but eitr is green

[frosty frost]

Dragon tier?

[dusty socket]

Yeah the thing moder drops

[mellow lodge]

and doesn't aggro anything

[dusty socket]

Weird idk. I’ll try to find the vid

[mellow lodge]

Moder's Tears

[quasi vault]

I shouldn't have said probably when it was 100% eitr

[frosty frost]

They also dont do anything other than allow to make the artisan table

[dusty socket]

All I said is that he said they looked like them

It was refined eitr I think

[echo sparrow]

and you make up for lack of health with bubble, I presume--could be an interesting melee glass cannon build, esp. with blood weapons

[true steeple]

Being able to parry anything could be inredibly powerful with melee weapons if you're in a safe situation to use it

[echo sparrow]

imagine bubble, parry, secondary blood slayer attack

[steep tusk]

EEF is even better now that it is an option.

[true steeple]

Would that provide enough stamina for good melee combat?

[steep tusk]

EEF for Ashlands is 162 / 156 / 223 H/S/E

Mistlands is 145 / 142 / 198

[quasi vault]

Once you defeated the boss

[true steeple]

I'd consider the mistlands feast to be ashlands food and the plains feast to be mistlands food

[brazen patrol]

Aren't ore deposit supposed to break when dug out ?

[true steeple]

You need to break part of it for it to check for terrain

If it still doesn't fall, something is too close

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, needs hitting to update physics.

[quasi vault]

This should probably be in mods discussion though as you could never dig that far so you can do this to copper. You don't even want to waste time digging the copper that's below ground as it's too much work for the little reward, best to find another one

[lilac coyote]

Disagree. Completely clear 2-3 and you're done for the game.

[quasi vault]

By the time you clear 2-3 fully I will have cleared the top part of 5 of them and gotten more copper

will also not make the forest look like an absolute mess and health hazard with holes you can fall into

[true steeple]

You can keep trolls in there

[lament isle]

what was the poijnt of this'

[brazen patrol]

Just wanted to try it out since I remembered doing it long ago

Didn't find any support so i'm just mining it out anyway

[echo sparrow]

i'm pretty sure it's possible to dig deep enough for some veins, just a lot the time it's not (but not ALL the time)

[agile crown]

Maybe if it generates like on top of a ridge

[frosty frost]

Oh sure, but in VERY rare circumstances when it is on top of the hill or something like that 🙂 and this is really not that case

[echo sparrow]

to be fair, I do not know how rare it is specifically, so you may very well be right

[night venture]

ok, im playing this on linux and have the playfab error and friends cant connect. i read to remove -crossplay but no one says remove it from where? anyone know?

[raw moat]

crossplay is a setting when you're setting up the server. You should see near the password box when starting the server. It's got a little yellow bubble when it's turned on

[mighty plaza]

Hello i have a question! can ashvine grow on darkwood dividers, darkwood arches and beams? or does it have to be flat wall and nothing else?

[night venture]

Yeah but it wont let me uncheck it

[whole socket]

@brazen patrol Once it is fully dug out it needs to be hit. Then it will shatter. (As long as nothing it too close to be considered holding it up)

@mighty plaza mine are growing off my dark wood just fine. As long as there is nothing sticking out to stop it from growing up it will be fine. So if you have like an overhang, it either won't grow (no clear view to sky) or it will stop once it hits it (cause it now blocks it).

[mighty plaza]

sweet mainly was wondering if vine can climb up that wall type, dont wanna waste precious seeds thank you!

[whole socket]

@brazen patrol oh and copper is sort of odd and it can sometimes have ground inside it. Unlike silver that is small and easier to unearth lol

@mighty plaza I will say that mine are all connected to ashwood walls too. But the tar dividers work fine, so would guess they would too. I have them on grausten, ashwood, tar dividers, and stone

[mighty plaza]

i just started getting any drops form ashlands, so that for the future, i need some starting points like some vines planted 😄

[raw moat]

That's. Weird. Clicking that dot before you start the server just does nothing? I... don't know how to fix that, unfortunately.

[verbal sleet]

I HAVE ARRIVED! Hi fellas, it's been a while from last time I played, and I noticed new crafting/farming skills. I've had some double craftings, like two deerskin capes instead of one, is there the chance for some random boons on upgrades? Like less resources used, or a free quality level if not maxed?

[quasi vault]

I know it can happen but I meant on the picture, you can't dig that far without mods

[verbal sleet]

There's a mod that lets you dig the top piece of any kind of vein and deal the damage to other parts of it

TopMining I think

[chilly shadow]

Just a chance for a bonus craft

[verbal sleet]

Shame, I would've loved a bonus level for free

[whole socket]

@mighty plaza

[mighty plaza]

ooh so pretty woah

[whole socket]

That is all ashwood decorative under it

From the inside... little harder to see

@mighty plaza they grow like crazy...so if you don't want it to overtake the whole wall suggest a smaller spot lol.

[echo sparrow]

[hoary minnow]

Hey! My friend has a BIG problem. My friend can't build. The construction keeps snapping back to his character constantly and goes all over the place. Anyone can help me ?

[true steeple]

You need to make a food preparation table to turn fish into raw fish meat, which can be cooked

[whole socket]

@glad flame you take the fish to i believe the new bake board...forgot the new name. Then it turns to raw

@glad flame oh and the higher the fish level (1-4) give more raw fish for the better the level.

@hoary minnow that sounds like the xbox bug. Might have to try turning the sensitivity down till the pack

[hoary minnow]

i don't think it's that because my friend play on pc

[verbal sleet]

Make a food prep table

[whole socket]

@hoary minnow ahhhh ok well it was an issue with the new bog witch for alot of people in controller. Never knew it was a thing on pc.... so try the bug tab too (on discord) they answer pretty quick

[hoary minnow]

I'll rec something so maybe you'll understand better the problem

thanks for everything

[verbal sleet]

Is it still possible to parry stagger long ranged attacks?

[mellow lodge]

yep

[whole socket]

@verbal sleet yes just have to time it correctly. Rocks, arrows, all can be parried.

[marble igloo]

is the farming, crafting etc. skill already in the game?

[buoyant peak]

#valheim-patchnotes

[marble igloo]

just a yes or no would be helpful 🙂

[raw moat]

Yes, it got pushed to live.

[buoyant peak]

Indicating you the channel where you could get that information by yourself is even more helpful

[marble igloo]

i dont see those skills ingame...

[buoyant peak]

Because you need to get one level minimum

[raw moat]

What Rianu said. Try plucking mushrooms or crops and repairing or building with the hammer. They should appear quickly.

[marble igloo]

ye, now it works just fine. I thought i was going insane for a sec... thank u two

[urban hearth]

A bit late, but - the radius is (according to the wiki) 40-80m. I spawnproofed my base by making the base itself a 80x80m area, and then clearing and spawn proofing with workbenches, a square around it that's 240m per side, so that from the edge of the inner base, the distance to any the edge of the "perimeter" is at least 80m.
4 raids later, seems to be completely spawnproof.
Sometimes the raid starts while I'm at the "perimeter", but since the red circle is pretty big, I'll just rush to the inner base, thus putting at least 80m between me and any potential spawn.

In mistlands: If the ||dvergr have set up a small camp (just walls and some crates) around a giant skull||, will they become ||aggressive if I destroy the skull? Or does the skull count as scenery instead of a structure? Will they become hostile if I cut down trees within their ward?||

[marble igloo]

I know there is a new like cooking System but to me it seems like there is alot less food to craft in the cauldron... is that because of my low cooking skill or was this just changed to a other crafting station or upgrades. Why is that?

[true steeple]

Mead bases have moved to the mead ketill. Raw fish, feasts and food that has to be baked in an oven are in the food preparation table.

[marble igloo]

thanks for the explaination

[deft tide]

o/ my friend that plays on Linux can’t seem to join my server, but I can join his. He thinks it might be due to Playfab not loading? (He gets a message that it fails to load when he starts up the game)

[ionic onyx]

preparing to fight bonemass and read up that sausages and deer stew is the average on what food i should have however i have neither of those recipes and i have the Cauldon and can only make boar jerky and jam

[true steeple]

You need to farm some crops!

[chilly shadow]

Might need some cauldron upgrades

[subtle parrot]

Have you found turnip seeds?

[true steeple]

For bonemass I’d recommend using sausages, turnip stew and either muckshake or black soup. Swap health foods for serpent stew and meat if you’ve killed a serpent, since those are better.

Deer stew is from the previous biome, so you should avoid using it for bonemass.

[ionic onyx]

yh just started to plant some carrots and turnips, never planted before, also have no cauldron upgrades mostly forge or workbench, so looks like farming it is

[true steeple]

Once you harvest turnips you’ll be able to make a cauldron improvement

[ionic onyx]

im guessing turnips take a couple of days?

[true steeple]

I think they take around 2-3 days? You can sleep at noon to skip as much time as possible

[ionic onyx]

gotcha, appreciate the help

[urban hearth]

How does poison dmg work against enemies, exactly?
Context: lvl 1spinesnap 72dmg (+5spirit) vs lvl 4 draugr fang (56dmg +20 poison) is used against seeker.
Seeker resists piercing, is neutral to poison, immune to spirit. I yhink they'd take half damage (36 vs 28) from spinesnap vs draugr fang, but how much and how will that 20 poison dmg calculate in?

[dusty socket]

can someone join my world to give me 2 carrots?

[true steeple]

The 20 poison damage will be reduced randomly by your skill level (minimum and maximum are shown in yellow when hovering over it in the inventory), then that damage is the total damage dealt by the time the poison debuff ends.

So if you hit an enemy for 20 poison damage it will have lost 20 health when the debuff ends

Poison doesn’t stack like fire and spirit do, so damage is lost if you poison an already poisoned enemy again

[urban hearth]

Thanks! And enemies don't have armor to account for, so 56 vs 72 dmg is a difference of 16 dmg against a neutral opponent, not some "first deduct 50dmg from armor, so It's actually 6 vs 16 dmg" formula?

[true steeple]

Enemies don’t have armor.

[urban hearth]

Thank you so much!

[little trench]

is it strongly recommended to use magic vs queen? or can u do it fine without?

[true steeple]

I’d recommend melee but magic can work well too

[faint shale]

should i start making a new home base since i will be defeating bonemass today?

[little trench]

what weapon?

[true steeple]

Krom, mistwalker and himminafl are all good for damaging her, and a demolisher and/or bile bombs could help for the enemies she spawns.

[little trench]

what about frostner?

[true steeple]

Frostner would work well enough but the fight will be a little slower

[urban hearth]

Does it aggro Dvergr's if you cut down a tree or mine ancient remains within their ward area? or do they agro only for actual "buildings"?

And do they get mad if you break their stuff after you've destroyed the ward with a cart? meaning, can you start mining the remains after bashing in the ward, or is the ward's existence and their agro separate?

[true steeple]

If you break the ward with a cart you are free to do whatever you want with their structures, but that’s no fun.

[urban hearth]

Do you know if trees and ancient remains count as structures too, or if only "actual structures" count?

[subtle parrot]

You can chop down trees and harvest ancient remains, although I've never tried at any of their little harvest sites, but I did harvest a skull yesterday that was right next to an active dvergr tower and they didn't bother me

if you build with stone/marble/grausten, it would be fine. then whatever is inside is safe, like regular portals. Just have stone walls/roof

[compact dawn]

Stone roof?

[jade rapids]

Made of the stone you only find in Ashland.

[steep tusk]

Stone floor (regular) also counts as a roof.

hello, i need your help, guys

Just a couple of people from pc to host with my game, just a test. No need to chat vocal, no need to anything else. You just come in and just walk around. As soon as I see that I can hold two people in my session being the host, test is done. So it will not take long. I can give iron for pay 😉

[little trench]

help me decide pls what weapon to craft: mistwalker or himminafl

up until now, i've been a frostner/spear user

[true steeple]

I’d go with the mistwalker

[last kindle]

i'd go too

[little trench]

why?

[faint geyser]

Hey bro can i chat with u

[last kindle]

short wisp light radius, very nice three hit combo with double damage in third

[true steeple]

The damage types work better in ashlands

[little trench]

ok thx

[last kindle]

ok i see I get completely ignored... and it's already the second time. Can I at least know what's the problem? no trust at all? Honestly guys i cannot pay real money for such a service, even if we talk about log in, walk, and just go away, less of than 5 minutes of time required. I assume then even if playing together with people is impossible in valheim?

than I change my question ... let's forget about my less than 5 minutes test request ... how do you play with people online in this game?

[little trench]

oh wait sry u need me to join ur serv? @last kindle

[last kindle]

it's just a test, 5 minutes, no need to even to risk your high rank character. I put on a host session, you enter, I look data and that's over. I want to play valheim with friends but i have to know if i can host. that's it

[little trench]

ya sure why not

[last kindle]

ok, than.

[hazy swift]

Is there a way to unnequip a boss buff?

[frosty frost]

Just changing it for another

[hazy swift]

No, i mean leaving the boss buff slot empty. Is that possible?

[true steeple]

Not without commands
setpower null

[hazy swift]

Ah i see
Thanks

[surreal granite]

I need some mod help. Are there any mods that enable a secondary atttack for the two handed clubs like stagbreaker?

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion

[surreal granite]

Ah thanks for the referral

[little trench]

is frostner the #1 weapon for ashlands?

[steep tusk]

No.

[true steeple]

It depends on what you're fighting. I'd bring a silver sword into ashlands because the spirit damage makes it incredibly effective against charred and it has a low stamina cost compared to newer weapons.

[steep tusk]

There is no objective #1 weapon for Ashlands.

[true steeple]

Or for any whole biome

[tired notch]

I’d argue iron mace for swamps

[true steeple]

But abominations are resistant to blunt

[quasi vault]

I'd argue the razor

[steep tusk]

I'd argue the NOKIA.

[quasi vault]

I do always invest in spending 6 wood to make a club before I kill bonemass

[steep tusk]

In terms of damage, Mistwalker is a straight upgrade.

[buoyant peak]

Mistwalker

[surreal granite]

Nah its the antler pickaxe. 2 op

[real inlet]

Hi fellow vikings, if my teammate is not close to me, he can't see the chat, is this supposed to work like this?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[quasi vault]

@real inlet You can type /s before a message to shout it to everyone on the server

[urban hearth]

Do Dverg's agro as soon as you damage a structure, or only when you actually destroy a structure? So if you accidentally hit a marble pillar while fighting a seeker near their camp, is that instant war, or do they ignore it?

[little trench]

why?

[surreal granite]

btw cool evo

[true steeple]

Damaging a structure will anger them

[buoyant peak]

Has better dmg and reach than frostner

[little trench]

frostner has knockback and spirit dmg tho

[spring frigate]

dose that small gap makes a huge difference in structural integrity?

Edit it dose, thanks

[serene tangle]

check colors

[true steeple]

If you want to use a mace, frostner will be the best option, but silver sword and mistwalker are better for actually killing things

[buoyant peak]

Mistwalker has spirit too (upgrade it).

And knockback isn't as useful in some cases

[steep tusk]

If you already believe Frostner to be the best option for you, just use it. Asking us only to shoot down suggestions is pointless.

[little trench]

oh i didnt know that, thx

[buoyant peak]

Mistwalker does the same frostner does but better except for the knockback

[true steeple]

The mistwalker even has higher stagger on the secondary attack because the frostner is almost entirely elemental damage

[little trench]

aight so seems the consensus is that miistwalker is goated

[boreal salmon]

Hello. Pike in the cauldron does not break down into raw fish? Can i do something to fix it?The raw fish icon does not even appear when the pike is in the inventory.

[frosty frost]

The raw fish is now made in food prep table 😄

[boreal salmon]

TY. Didnt know about this change

[frosty frost]

no worries, it is very recent change 😄

[molten mountain]

in a similar spirit: mead bases are now made in the mede ketil ^^

[tranquil lion]

Can you not cook fish on the spit? I wondered about that cus i randomly caught one that jumped on shore and didnt know how to cook it

[scenic sphinx]

Is there a method of farming Tar that isn't time consuming or painful ?

[true steeple]

Respawning growths are very slow, it's best to find new tar pits

[scenic sphinx]

yeah, im farming by draining them but that's so annoying that best building material is locked behind this..

[vale spade]

How to walk on lava?

[true steeple]

Ride an asksvin, use basalt bombs to make temporary platforms, or use flametal build pieces for permanent platforms

[vale spade]

Flametal? I only have poles, 4m and 2m

Are you free to join a server helping me in ashlands?

I believe i got all sources needed except that red stone in fortresses and fragments to build the rings

I still didn't find fader tho

[subtle parrot]

Use the poles to plant into the lava since they don't melt, and then place a platform on top of it so it can't be melted by the lava.

[subtle parrot]

Digging a drain up to the edge of the pit isn't that time consuming, but you could turn up the drop rate if you don't wanna have to deal with draining as many for more tar

[little trench]

do infested mines always have a secret room?

[subtle parrot]

No, not necessarily

[little trench]

ok thx

[small nest]

infested mines are probably most grindiest dungeon in the game

[little trench]

in terms of finding them, yeah. the dungeon itself is awesome imo. swamp crypts are the worst... just mining zzzz

[small nest]

although swamp is my favourite biome, i must agree that getting iron is most grindy thing in the entire game

[frail cave]

ayy another swamp fan

[subtle parrot]

My favorite biome is plains, nice and open

[little trench]

ya if they improved on crypts to make it less afk-hold-down-mouse-button-gameplay, then it'd be a super good biome

[quasi vault]

Do you mine with an antler pickaxe?

[little trench]

same and its a nice change of pace growing flax + fighting camps instead of the usual ore mining

[little trench]

ya before i get iron

[quasi vault]

Once you have an iron pickaxe mining scrap piles is very easy and fast

[subtle parrot]

Yeh i typically skip bronze weapons altogether

[little trench]

same

or i think i craft bronze buckler

[charred grotto]

yo can i use fire res mead and meadium healingmead at once ??

[little trench]

ya

[subtle parrot]

Fair, I usually do, and did this last playthrough I've been doing, but I didn't actually use it this time. Was able to find the witch right next to several crypts so it was a breeze getting iron this go round

[charred grotto]

so best potions for yagluth would be medium healing ones right ?

and fire res , along with silver sword ?

[subtle parrot]

Yeh pretty much, don't forget some stamina mead or tasty mead though

[charred grotto]

wait you can stack mead ??

can i have all mead activated at once ?

[lilac coyote]

Not with the same effects.

[subtle parrot]

As long as the mead isn't the same as the other types then yes

[charred grotto]

ohhh,so i can have one healin one res and one stamina ??

[subtle parrot]

Pretty much

[charred grotto]

cool didnt know that ,that mordor fight took way too long

is there potions to amplify damage we do or another consumables ??

[tired root]

Lingering mead cancels the usage of normal stamina/hp/eitr restore effect until it runs out and using normal restore mead cancels the usage of lingering mead until cooldown is off.

[charred grotto]

so when i use med stamina mead why does it have red cross on it ??

[subtle parrot]

Nope

[charred grotto]

like its not working ??

[quasi vault]

They each have their own cooldown

[subtle parrot]

The x is to show you can't use more of that type

[tired root]

It is the cooldown when you can't use another same type restoring (or lingering) mead.

[charred grotto]

here

[subtle parrot]

Yes exactly

[charred grotto]

so its working then ??

[subtle parrot]

Yes, but you already have full stamina so it's not really doing anything

[charred grotto]

ohhhh

[tired root]

After cooldown is off you can use another same type mead.

[quasi vault]

It worked 14 seconds ago when you used it. It restore an amount of stamina upon use and you can't use another for 2 minutes after that

[charred grotto]

so meads have cooldown before i use the same type again ?? i can consume excat same again n again right like i drank frost med when it wore off immediately

[tired root]

Correct, when effect/cooldown worns off you can use the same mead again.

[crimson lotus]

is this a good progress going back from the swamp for the first time with this stuffs, do I need more?

[quasi vault]

That's pretty much exactly as much as you can carry on a carve so yes

[crimson lotus]

what would u suggest i craft/build second, i'm thinking on crafting mace first so ye

[quasi vault]

Preparation table, nails (you will see why once you craft them), an iron pickaxe at least level 2 (because you will need to mine more iron and that will help a lot and it's also necessary for progression) and your favorite weapon type and maybe a buckler

[crimson lotus]

for buckler, should i keep my level 2 bronze or make an iron one

[quasi vault]

If you have bronze already it's probably good enough to parry anything you can encounter in the swamp but the iron one will be useful later on

[frail cave]

just note that the round shield of the next biome does the iron buckler's job better than it already

[tired root]

I'd argue with Banded Shield being good enough for both blocking and parrying during Swamps and even in next biome.

On Normal difficulty at least.

[quasi vault]

I do the iron buckler for the golems, fuling berserkers and loxes, silver shield does the same job though, I just want it earlier

[crimson lotus]

alr thanks, i'll see what my mats will get me through for now

[quasi vault]

Stone cutter should be made at one point, will unlock some more comfort, a fire pit that look better and give you a free forge upgrade

[tired root]

Yeah craft Stone wheel on Stonecutter for one new Forge upgrade. @crimson lotus

[crimson lotus]

oh okay, will do that thanks

[tired root]

Stonecutter then needs roof just like a workbench to be used to craft the stone wheel.

[crimson lotus]

im gonna need a better house for everything..

[quasi vault]

That was inevitable, might even happen twice

[tired root]

If I can recommend some earlier game storage option (if you have found Haldor), barrels have been quite useful: #screenshots message

[limber wigeon]

Hey, do tamed creatures continue to lay eggs even if they are not in the active area?

[crimson lotus]

are barrels like chest? and nope i haven't found haldor yet

[tired root]

No, you have to be on the same area for them to continue laying eggs.

[tired root]

Yes, they have 12 storage space each and you can put 3 of them in 2x1 area, which gives the most storage space on that area compared to other chests (but it costs more wood and the material bought from Haldor).

[frosty frost]

Made a whole wall filled with barrels 😄 they are really good
