Yeah I have expanded that wall with 2 rows on top, they surely are efficient 👍

[frosty frost]

I have 3 lines of barrels (3m wall) and it is 10m long with barrels at 8m of it, will expand to whole 10m think

[slim crest]

Hi folks! I'm coming back to the game, last time played 2021, and my map was just wiped. Is there any safe way to recover things? Appreciate any insight 🙂

[ornate hazel]

Hello, looking for help with this.
We are pretty far in the game (just last two biomes remain) and as far as I can tell the new merchant should just have this for sale but it is not listed for us. Is there something I'm missing to do or get to be able to buy this?
I tried looking this up but our bogwitch doesn't have the|| serving tray||. How do we get this?

nvm a restart fixed it lol

[flat needle]

Guys, who knows why the person who crafted the item calls it B-Hammer and I have Sledge Iron in my inventory? (screen from saveEditor)
and I only have 100 damage and he has much more damage and distance

[true steeple]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Cheat_Sledge
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Demolisher
Is it either of these?

The cheat sledge cannot be crafted

Also the iron sledge only has 55 damage (or up to 73 with upgrades)

[jolly elk]

What kind of things do you want to recover? Items in your inventory? Buildings? Something else?

[slim crest]

Every thing that is possible. I just had with me my inventory, everything else is lost. I can't say for sure what it is but it was a lot of stuff.

[jolly elk]

When you start the game, there is a Manage Saves button. Do you have an old copy of your world you can restore?

[slim crest]

I do! I restored it but it was still empty

[tired root]

For players there should be old copies too, have you tried restoring them?

[scenic sphinx]

thoughts on making that empty space above gates to look good

[little trench]

how to find spear in mistlands after fail throw at gjall? im using noclip to look around for like 15min now and nothing. i dont even see any glowing particles from item on the ground

[maiden nymph]

Hello, recently I was having trouble trying to connect to my friends server. I managed to connect for one night but then I wasnt able to connect again. A few people recommended that it is the ports before the night I managed to connect. My wifi is working perfectly for other games. If anyone could give some advice please.

[dapper hamlet]

Honestly at that point, you’ll spend less time making a new spear than hunting for it

[stray wadi]

Is it just you, who is having trouble with connecting to the server? Or is it the same for other folks trying to join the host?

[gritty warren]

Just loaded into a world, tryna test some stuff, tried doing devcommands so I pressed F5 but nothing popped up?? Anyone know why

[tired root]

You have to add "-console" in game properties on Steam.

[dapper hamlet]

Are you booted into -console?

[steep galleon]

is fenris armor worth making over wolf armor? the armor difference seems too big

[gritty warren]

Makes sense, thanks man!!

[tired root]

Extra movement speed and fire resistance from the whole set makes it worth it.

[true steeple]

I always make wolf armor because I never find any fenris hair

[fair hatch]

After scouring multiple mountains looking for Moder, I finally found onion seeds intead lmao. Can onions grow in meadows or do they need a specific biome like flax/wheat?

[dusk mountain]

Meadows works for them too

[fair hatch]

Thanks

[wind bison]

how do I switch between public test and stable release on console?

[frosty frost]

Not sure but currently they are the same

[wind bison]

okay, the reason I ask is because I am still experiencing the controller bug HEAVILY, its almost impossible to play the game but everytime I ask about the bug here people ask if im on test or stable

I have to my knowledge never changed any such setting but I wanted to doublecheck if I perhaps did on mistake

[frosty frost]

Sadly the controler is still bugged it seems (tho to my knowlage not as much as before), but changing the versions will, at least at this moment, have no effect on it

[lament isle]

Once its thrown and hit the target it shoudl immiedatly fall off to the same place where it hitted the target

i mean they should add this kind of mechanic

[wind bison]

oh wow thats the first response I got confirming the bug is still around, thanks for that, somehow it feels better.

Does anyone know if there is any word from devs when the bug will be adressed/fixed?

[frosty frost]

Look through https://www.valheimgame.com/support/ in know issues tab 🙂 there you can see which bugs are known, planned to be worked on, being worked on, and ready for quality approval

[wind bison]

thanks bud 🙂

[frosty frost]

[little trench]

any advice for queen fight with melee?

[wind bison]

a bit worrying though, the controller bug isnt mentioned anywhere in that list of bugs 😮

[frosty frost]

Have feather cape, bombs are really usefull, and if crap REALLY hits the fan you can hide near enterence 🙂

[frosty frost]

What exactly is the bug again? i dont use it so i have no idea

[wind bison]

the bug is that when trying to navigate inventory/chests/w/e its super sensitive (even when using buttons) so it doesnt go 1 square it jumps 3-5

making it VERY difficult to choose items, wht to drop etc

[frosty frost]

Could be part of this one then

[wind bison]

oh 😮 didnt see that, but yeah that confirms my fears, they seem to think its fixed, but its not, atleast not for me

[gritty warren]

Really quickly, where do I find it? I’m on steam looking at valheim right now

[wind bison]

but okay, on a different topic, when playing several players on the same server difficulty on monsters scale up to meet the amount of players, but is this localy or everywhere on the map?

For example, im fighting bonemass 5 km west of my wife who is building several bioms away, am I fighting a stronger bonemass because we are 2 on the server?

[lilac coyote]

Within 100m.

[wind bison]

just to be overly clear, that means if I'm 100 m away from her then mobs wont scale up?

[tired root]

Right click game to get into "Properties" and you should find a box where you write "-console" in it.

[gritty warren]

Nicee I got it, thx man 🙂

[steel thorn]

does elemental magic skill affect staff of embers burn damage or only the impact?

[true steeple]

It increases all the damage of the weapon, like every other skill. The fire and blunt damage will increase.

[steel thorn]

lovely

[crimson lotus]

should i craft huntmans bow and ditch my max upgrade finewood bow?

[raw moat]

I would say it depends on how much iron you currently have. The tier-one huntsman bow is only a hair better than the max finewood, and getting it to max tier costs an additional 60 (on top of the cost of making it). If you can't afford to upgrade it much, you're probably better off making something else first

||The iron mace|| is often recommended for the swamp

[stoic trench]

894% funded, insane lol

Oops, wrong channel lol

[brazen patrol]

How long does it take for mead to ferment ?

[junior ingot]

2 in-game days

[true steeple]

You can sleep at noon to skip as much time as possible

[brazen patrol]

thanks

[tired root]

Huntsman bow compared to Finewood bow is more accurate and makes the least noise of all bows when hitting the target.

[serene tangle]

No, all bows starting from finewood have the same accuracy. Hunstman makes less noise — that's true

[true steeple]

Hunstman bow is such a useful tool for attracting small groups of enemies

[frail cave]

you sure about that? testing it out rn and fine wood doesn't look nearly as accurate as huntsman (and everything after)

[serene tangle]

I double-checked and ... I was wrong

Ideal accuracy starts only from Hunstman Bow

[tired root]

Finewood is good enough for Mountain even but sometimes it is almost as inaccurate as Crude bow when not needed, but much less so.

[serene tangle]

it has higher arrow speed (50 vs 35), which might help with accuracy a little

or might not... I'm not sure

[tired root]

I usually skip Crude bow to get Finewood bow asap, before that I use Flint Spear for all ranged attacks. Except in my current run where I haven't touched bows yet and I'm soon facing Moder...

[grizzled mural]

trying to find the bog witch on my map. i used the map viwer on google and it showed a bog witch location right next to my base, i went but its not there? do i have to go to an area i havent discovered yet?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[frosty frost]

If the world was made before the update you will need to put the files directly into the world generator to get accurate location 🙂

[steep tusk]

You will also have to go to a place you have not explored yet.

[grizzled mural]

cool thanks

[lime wasp]

hey my friend hosts a server and is on linux but every time he tries launching the game it says "playfab could not load" and he cant operate cross platform play (im on windows) any fix?

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[lime wasp]

its not a dedicated server its his world hes sharing

says this

[steep tusk]

Those people will still know more multiplayer-related things than this channel.

[lime wasp]

ok

[true steeple]

Are you using steam or the Xbox app/microsoft store version? You only need cross platform if you aren’t both on steam.

[barren mango]

not sure if this channel is the right one but;
I am playing with two friends on a game they directly host. When he starts the game and I connect as the first other person I can enter the game, but when his wife joins before me I cant join. I can enter the password but am then stuck on a black screen. We are playing moded so I am not sure if its related to the mods or to the game itself...

[true steeple]

Have all of those mods been updated since the bog witch update released? Updates break mods.

[barren mango]

tbh I dont know. I started playing after the bog witch release. But I would say so...

[lime wasp]

steam

[true steeple]

You don’t need to worry about it then

[lime wasp]

it wouldnt let me join his game the other day when he tried hosting. we both use steam

[true steeple]

If crossplay is disabled, then there’d be another reason. Playfab does nothing without crossplay.

[dusk ermine]

how far must carrot seeds be placed apart

[raw moat]

wiki says 1m, which sounds about right

[dusk ermine]

yea

[hard bramble]

Are flammetal beams stronger than iron beams for build height and build integrity purposes

[mellow lodge]

Despite being made of a stronger metal, the pole and beam provide as much support as wood iron structures, while having half the durability.

no reason to use it for building except for its looks, or if you want to build on lava. they are the only structures you can place on lava.

[ionic onyx]

how do i get silver without being railed by a stone golem, ive found 3 veins of silver each time a stone golem is either near or spawns in out of nowhere, i then tried killing one and it just respawned closer, i managed to collect enough for the dragur fang and just enough for the helmet but still far from getting more armour, other weapons and necessities

[subtle parrot]

An iron mace is your best friend against stone golems, basically no way around dealing with them but you can dig completely around and below the vein and toss a workbench and portal in the hole. Just have to make sure the edges of the walls are sharp and won't allow anything to path down. But you're likely going to face them either way.

[junior ingot]

if its big tunnel down, if its small climb up

[crimson lotus]

thanks i have made the mace already and had 26 extra iron, so i dont know what to use it for

[simple yoke]

sometimes when i'm crafting or farming i get a free extra item, is this a new thing or some mod i have left in on accident

[frail cave]

new thing, chance increases with the new crafting skill

[simple yoke]

pog free extra wolf chest for me, tyty

[hardy prism]

i got no crafts for mead ketill, do i have to find the recipes first?

[gritty warren]

For some reason I remember that flametal beams gave the same support as the ground does, not sure if my game hadn’t loaded in yet, or something was bugging out.

[steel thorn]

Any good guidance on best use of feasts? not sure how to best balance them

with regular food that is

[crimson lotus]

do i need to kill bonemass

[steep tusk]

Yes?

[crimson lotus]

should i buy the inventory first or ymir flesh for frostner, yes i have the stuff to craft it by now, i only ahve 1290 coins so far

[frosty frost]

Id go with megingjord, you dont really need frostner untill plains anyway (maybe for the frost caves also)

[crimson lotus]

aight thanks

[tribal elk]

Anyone know why when im in the middle of the ocean ill be in a random biome? I Just somehow discovered the plains

[tropic granite]

Devs made plains able to have very far borders on water, that's why you can discover them by sailing quite far away from ground(you can not even see that little rock that counts as plains). Also Swamp must have another biome surrounding it - usually it's either plains or black forest

[hard cosmos]

Greetings. I hate monsters attack waves on my beautiful base. Is there a way to turn this game mechanic off?

[little trench]

if i lvl'd my elemental skill by hitting stone golem trapped in a hole, how long would it take to reach 100?

[frosty frost]

Not necessarily, i have seen plenty of standalone swamp islands 🙂

[worthy thistle]

Hey if you guys need help recovering pm me. I donm't have any problemos with ashlands

[worthy thistle]

lets fix that.

[frosty frost]

Why?

Its not broken.

[worthy thistle]

well if it's not broken you might be in the wrong chat.... I'm here to help and if you don't need help your in the wrong chat...

I'm here to help with body recovery

[frosty frost]

Well this message certainly wasnt very helpfull, and repeteing yourself unnecesarily isnt either 🙂

[worthy thistle]

Then I may be in the wrong chat, and it may be my bad, thx for letting me know... and thanks for not being rude, I know thats hard now adays.

[worthy thistle]

now i see it's my bad. thx man.

for the people trying to get the political pundents out of their system I'll be in the meadows.

[frosty frost]

But truth to be told, so wasnt my earlier message, however, it was an expansion/correction to earlier conversation, so that should not be much of an issue i think 🙂

[worthy thistle]

well I mentioned political stuff so I already put a target on my back. unless you wanna join me for some back and forth.

also anyone wanting to be rude and talk some stuff out is welcome in the glades. I'm a devils advocate so if you want to vent hit me up.

in fact I'm really hoping people come in, otherwise i'd get bored.

odin's greathall now

ok I'm out you guys have a good night.

[little trench]

gn

[rugged haven]

Just a quick question, can seekers attack the ground they're standing on?

[little trench]

seekers dont have a "smash ground" move, like soldiers have (iirc)

[buoyant peak]

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

[rugged haven]

Ok, just asking because i'm trying to farm mistlands mushrooms, but couldn't do that inside a ribcage, so i'm planning to turn the ribcage into a seeker-proof shelter with the field outside instead

[crimson lotus]

is fishing rod worth it?

[true steeple]

Previously I would've said no but the new mead of troll endurance increases carry weight by 250 and requires trollfish so it's absolutely worth buying as soon as you find the bog witch

[sonic summit]

is this rare?

[frail cave]

a 10% drop from a pretty rare enemy, i'd say yea

[crimson lotus]

what about the fishing rod from haldor?

[true steeple]

You buy the rod from haldor but can't make troll endurance mead until you find the bog witch

[true steeple]

I've only found one before

[sonic summit]

i found 2 of thoose enemies today

[frail cave]

they can spawn in burial chambers, but never respawn. the only renewable way to encounter that enemy is through the skeleton surprise invasion.
they also don't spawn anywhere other than burial chambers in world generation

if you're spamming burial chambers, i wouldn't call them rare, true, but usually a playthrough doesn't need enough chambers to encounter more than like 4 of them

[sonic summit]

yeah i jsut found the third one and we dealt with more than 10 chambers

[hard cosmos]

thanks a lot!

[grizzled nymph]

Guys, how can I find a place to build a house in the mountains?

[brazen patrol]

Do merchant icons show from afar or do I need to discover them first ?

[frail cave]

they're automatically marked the moment they generate

[frail cave]

depends on your preferences.
most people prefer flat terrain, i like to find the most unhinged spot to set up a home, tends to have more potential for looks

[brazen patrol]

How come I managed to dig a straight wall on the right but all others are jagged ?

[frail cave]

terrain is tiled, and each square consists of two triangles, so if you go straight north, east, south or west, it's gonna be straight.
northwest and southeast are straight too because they follow the line separating each square into two triangles, but northeast and southwest are jagged because they go diagonally against the grain of the triangles.

[brazen patrol]

Oh... guess I should start my hole all over then

Thanks

[faint wasp]

Can I upload a world to use on a server on xbo

[subtle parrot]

You have to have access to the save files to be able to transfer them and upload them. If you have access to a pc, and can log in to your xbox account and log in to the game to switch the save to local and create a save file on the pc, that would likely be the only way.

[faint wasp]

I have a pc I could try that

[faint wasp]

Do the world's transfer across platforms? I have a pc but idk how I would access the world if it's on xbox

[crimson lotus]

is frostner good for bonemass

[subtle parrot]

Since the xbox automatically saves to the cloud it should transfer to the pc xbox on the same account

[faint wasp]

Thank you I'll look at it when I get home

I have alot done on my world and I'm going to make it into a server for my friends to join

[subtle parrot]

A little overpowered i would say

[tranquil lion]

so im at the start of the game with just wood beams no core wood yet.

Do i have to place beams directly into the ground and then put wood flooring clipped through them or can beams go on top of the flooring?

[crimson lotus]

better than iron mace?

[frail cave]

depends on the enemy. but most of the time yes.
it's rarely the best option, but stays consistently good for the rest of the current game, moreso than any other weapon in the game

[crimson lotus]

i mean for bonemass?

[subtle parrot]

I'd say so, considering it's from the mountains, the biome after you beat bonemass

[frail cave]

oh yea definitely

[crimson lotus]

Oh i see, i got confused since iron mace lv2 has 61 blunt and frostner only have 35

[frail cave]

35 blunt x 1.5 = 52.5
58 frost x 1.5 = 87
20 spirit x 1 = 20
all combined that's 158.5 damage as opposed to the iron mace's 109.5 (assuming both are level 4)

(bonemass is also weak to frost, and neutral to spirit)

[crimson lotus]

oh i see, thanks i thought only blunt would count actualyl sincethat's where he's weak to

welp thanks for the info, gotta go fight him now

[vale spire]

my healthbar, stamina and eitir have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back any ideas?

[frosty frost]

Have you pressed Ctrl+F3?

[vale spire]

yea that gets rid of my hotbar but everything else is just always gone

[frosty frost]

Hmm, are you using any mods then?

[vale spire]

a fair few yea

[frosty frost]

Try to disable them all and if that will fix it turn them on one by one to find faulty one

[true steeple]

If any of those mods haven't been updated since bog witch released, expect them to break things.

[vale spire]

my friend playing can still see his and mine was at the start now its just gone so im unsure

[glass minnow]

hey whatsup hello, I've come witha question, does any of these mods break being able to interact with stuff?

[frosty frost]

#mods-discussion or #mods-issues 🙂

[glass minnow]

classic

[frosty frost]

Try it anyway 🙂 you never know what can break with mods and as i said above those channels might know more

[frail cave]

the way mods break with updates is very unpredictable. a mod you might expect to do nothing could brick the whole game

[true steeple]

If any of them haven't been updated since bog witch released, they will break things.

[somber patrol]

So if I understand events list (player based). Lets say I take part in killing the Elder but I dont touch the drop (trophy or key) then I wont get troll raids?

Btw, is it the actual trophy that does this or the Elder power? (Not super clear in the wiki, maybe both?)

Please mention me if answering.

[glass minnow]

just did some quick try and error, and the only one I really wanted is the one that breaks it lmao, build_camera

[maiden nymph]

One of my other friends is struggling but we think its due to him trying to play the xbox version using pc. He was able to join dedicated servers though. My issue was resolved through connecting via mobile hotspot then transferring back to wifi. Have you ever had similar issues?

[regal pine]

try turning it off and on again

[stray wadi]

Heyo, i did not - only general connection issues - where i restarted my dedicated server and everyone could connect again just fine.
I wouldve first looked at the host with his server, and make sure, that he has his settings right: Port forwarding, crossplay enabled - and so on.
Because being unable to connect just because you'Re in Wi-Fi seems really off. Unless you have no stable internet connection, because youre at the edge of the range of your wifi

[random hollow]

I have built tons of workbenches and torches and wards and I still got greylings spawning inside my village walls

What else should I do guys?

[frosty frost]

MORE

[stray wadi]

If i recall correctly, toirches dont classify as "base structures"

so make sure, that the wards and workbenches overlap

[random hollow]

I tested them and they prevent greydwarfs from spawning

[stray wadi]

range-.wise

[frosty frost]

Only wisp torches dont 🙂

[random hollow]

Don't know about greylings tho

[frosty frost]

If it prevents one mob it will prevent all

[random hollow]

Cause i don't know the command

[stray wadi]

Ah good to know - had just in mind, that they wont help against spawns, unlike in minecraft

just dont know, where i got it from

[frail cave]

(dvergr lanterns also don't count)

wisp torches are also unique in that they're the only torch that isn't attacked on sight by enemies. but dvergr lanterns are

[frosty frost]

If you want i can send you a list of structures that are considered player base and if mobs attacked on sight done by Winter here 🙂 (a bit outdated since more items were added since but still incredibly helpfull 😄 )

[frail cave]

oh gosh yea 😅 sorry about that, been meaning to update it for ages but it's a bit tedious and i've had a very stressful last few months.
i've been thinking about merging that with scarlet's food spreadsheet~
wouldn't look as fancy, but would be more easily accessible and comprehensive
(well, it would still be fancy, just in a different way, scarlet's attention to (visual) detail on sheets is something to adore~)

[stray wadi]

The wiki has a list - https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[random hollow]

Who wants to join a vc and help me out with spawn-proofing?

[stray wadi]

*fandom - not wiki

[frosty frost]

Oh i didnt mean to Say you should go and update it 🙂 as i said its still very helpfull as is

[random hollow]

Cause I'm a bit over it

[frail cave]

welll the thing is that while there is overlap between "player base" and "attacked on sight", it's not a 100% match.
there are some player base structures that aren't attacked on sight, and some structures that are attacked on sight but aren't player base

it's that distinction that made me make my lil image

[frosty frost]

It is the official wiki so you were correct 😉

[frail cave]

i should though, it's been a while

[stray wadi]

I always only used workbenches - because i thought that torches wont work for that - soo that list is just fine for me 😄

[frail cave]

my go-to is campfires - they're cheap and not attacked on sight

[frosty frost]

Only if you have time for it 😊

[little trench]

about to switch to mage for the first time, in mistlands, any advice?

(like common newbie mistakes, what food to use, etc)

[frosty frost]

Not really as i didnt do it before, but i will do that this playthrough too 😄

[quasi vault]

Campfires are also very easy to burrow and hide

My tip for mage especially for the mistlands is just to not waste time with skeletons

[subtle parrot]

And depending on terrain you can place them already mostly covered

[quasi vault]

True, but one pickaxe hit then leveling the terrain with the hoe does it

[random hollow]

I think what was happening was greylings swam across the wall to get inside my compound

Cause there ain't no way for them to spawn inside, got 2 wards in the space where the benches don't reach

And that area is pretty small anyway

[subtle parrot]

On my second time as a mage in mistlands, with the new feasts this go round, been using the plains feast and 2 eitr foods, usually stuffed shrooms and seeker aspic. 1 eitr food just doesn't feel like enough, but the extra hp with the feast isn't bad but you lose some potential stamina, which isn't great. But you could try to balance it. But make sure to keep moving never stand still unless you're safe. Get the mistlands cape asap.

[little trench]

alright and about elemental skill / blood mages, would you highly recommend i lvl it by training methods before i use it in mistlands?

or would you say i can get by with just lvl 0 at start

[subtle parrot]

It's definitely useful right off the bench, just make sure to level it before getting to ashlands

[little trench]

ok thx a lot

[green bolt]

yeah, theres probably a small gap in the workbench radius, they will take every opportunity

[arctic cove]

anyone know why my eitr refinery says 0/0 sap and says full when i try put some in?

[green bolt]

no idea but have you tried deconstructing it and placing it again?

[indigo verge]

Just started playing since a while. I have an outpost in the red circle. I want to have the bog witch next to it but I have already explored that part of the map. Is it possible to reset a small part of the map? I know resetmap won't work. Maybe only with mods? I haven't found the witch anywhere else.

[frail cave]

not possible without mods, closest thing you can do vanilla is spawn the structure in with commands

[indigo verge]

Ah thanks

[frail cave]

but since you've already generated parts of that world, the location wouldn't be the same anyway - worldgen adapts to what's generated and will still try to place all 10 possible bog witch locations somewhere in unexplored terrain, which incidentally shuffles everything around

[marble igloo]

I have a mod called Explorer that i also had installed before i downloaded r2modman. Before there was like a menu in the settings where i could adjust the exploration range which is not there anymore. Is there a speparate Mod or was it just removed? Does anyone have the same issue?

[frosty frost]

#mods-issues or #mods-discussion 🙂

[maiden nymph]

I usually use lan but my new wifi has been buggy lately. The host isnt the issue, we did test that that but I didn't know about port forwarding for the host. Thank you.

[lament isle]

im dealing with an issue where i can get occasionally kicked out of my friend server even though our wifis are perfect for this game and nothing lags, sometimes i can get kicked one time and sometimes i can kicked mutliple times but after we restart the server everything works fine

does anyone know why?

it all happend after the new update

[cursive dew]

There is no way to rebind hotbar keys in vanilla?

[covert hinge]

How can I find my worlds seed without using a dedicated server

[frosty frost]

Type "printseeds" into console

[little trench]

recommended ele magic and blood magic skill level for ashlands?

[steep tusk]

Whatever you feel like having.

[limber wigeon]

Any advanced tips for 2 Star Ask farming? Im 40 nights in and nothing.

[buoyant peak]

0

[little trench]

lmao, well assuming i wanna play mage

id prolly want a beefy barrier, right?

[quasi vault]

Levels will help but not as much as good gameplay, it's just a quality of life that makes everything a bit more efficient but it's nowhere near necessary, the gear and weapons are more important

[little trench]

@subtle parrot whats ur opinion?

[subtle parrot]

It's helpful, but as evo said

[little trench]

ok

[subtle parrot]

I think my elemental magic is around 30 right now and I'm just getting to the ashlands

[little trench]

some stuff on reddit said lvl 40 on blood magic for lvl 400 shield is good

[subtle parrot]

Idk tbh i haven't used the blood magic, I just keep moving. Haven't needed it yet

[little trench]

you dont use staff of protection?

[subtle parrot]

Nope, I have it just in case, but haven't actually needed it except against the queen a few times

[little trench]

damn wow alright

i've only heard that if u dont use bubble, you're basically naked and will get 1shotted by some random projectile

[subtle parrot]

It's a definite possibility, especially with the marksman, but as long as you're not moving on straight lines and keep moving even if you're not sprinting and you'll be fine most of the time

It would probably make most people more comfortable though

[little trench]

alright thx again

[random apex]

my valheim keeps crashing if yall know any fixes

[dusk ermine]

Anyone got any spare honey?

[marble igloo]

how rare is it that a cultist drops a cultist trophy? I have been in about 15+ Frost Caves and just cant get a Cultist Trophy for the Fenris Hood...

[frosty frost]

iirc 5%? its on the wiki page for cultists

[verbal sleet]

I HAVE ARRIVED! Hi fellas, I just put up a server via docker, it works like a charms, but I just discovered that servers do autopause if no one's online. Somebody know how to keep the world always running?

[jolly dome]

I updated to the latest patch, and my performance seems terrible.

[frosty frost]

Thats weird, the latest patches had quite a bit of optimizations so the performance should be better if anything

[true steeple]

There isn’t a way to keep the server running. Why do you want this? There could be another solution.

[verbal sleet]

Mostly for crops/breeds

[true steeple]

Breeding won’t happen without a player nearby anyway. You can sleep at noon to skip maximum time for crops

[verbal sleet]

Yeah, but piglets/cubs/chicks could still grow up while I'm away

I was ready for a carrot harvest, and had utter disappointment

[midnight lily]

You could try the ChunkLoader mod, not sure if it works with the latest version though

[little trench]

Refreshing your shield before it expires or pops through damage doesn't refresh the shields value. All recasting early does is reset the timer so don't refresh it early. This is also why I prefer a level 2 staff so the shield can naturally fall off more often.
is this true? about staff of protection bubble (from 6 month old reddit comment)

[verbal sleet]

Recasting the Staff of Protection on a target with a barrier already active will reset the time limit of their barrier, but will not reset their barrier's absorption amount. Thus, a barrier that has already been substantially weakened will have its duration extended, but will also remain just as weak after a recast.

When trying to maintain one or more barriers during heavy fighting, casters should prioritize recasting on targets whose barriers have already broken, as recasting on targets with active but damaged barriers will merely be a waste of eitr and health.

From the wiki

Thinking about it 2-3 times I've had a barrier broken after a single hit just after a recast, so I can confirm it

[little trench]

aight ty

[hoary minnow]

Is it normal that one of my friends has his running skill at level 86 after the third boss?

[midnight lily]

I'd say no, mine is at 68 after 400+ world days, and I run everywhere

[frosty frost]

Depends how often they die

It certainly is possible if the progression is slow enough

[hoary minnow]

I think my friend cheat

The progression is quite fast; we're on day 60.

So is it possible that my friend cheated ?

[frosty frost]

Yeah, unless they just grind specialy the running skill all the time then newly created character really should not have lvl86 at day 60, but it is possible they just used old character instead of creating new one 🙂

[limber wigeon]

Hey, if a creature in taming process leaves the active area, will it despawn? ty for answers

[frosty frost]

No, once it starts taming it will not despawn 🙂

Even starred wolfs normally despawning at dawn will not

[gritty brook]

i was hunting the Bonemass spawn, but once i got there, there is no spawn

[frosty frost]

This happens if you marked the location before bog witch update but didnt explore it until it has gone live, delete the mark and interact with vegvisir again 🙂

[gritty brook]

got it, thank you!

[little trench]

queen or bonemass power for mages?

[true steeple]

The staff of protection isn’t affected by damage modifiers so Bonemass will do nothing
Queen and Eikthyr are better

[little trench]

ok ty

[hoary minnow]

How quickly is it possible to defeat the third boss at the fastest possible time?

Approximately.

[verbal sleet]

You mean in time from its spawning? With the right setup less than 5 min

Weapon choice is really important, think about its name to guess its weakness

[hoary minnow]

Is it possible to achieve that time with an iron bow, an iron mace, anti-poison potions, and healing potions?

Being solo and with all difficulties set to normal?

[verbal sleet]

Absolutely

Surely less than the duration of the anti poison mead

[hoary minnow]

okay thanks because i thought my friend cheated

[verbal sleet]

But forsake the bow, that is almost useless in this particular fight

[hoary minnow]

He defeated the boss way too quickly for our liking, and it surprised us.

[hoary minnow]

I know

[verbal sleet]

Maybe he also used stamina potions, and so attacked non stop

[hoary minnow]

But okay i think it's okay then, because we take approximatively 10/15 minutes

[true steeple]

He takes 1.5x blunt damage so dies very quickly to an upgraded iron mace

[verbal sleet]

Is feasible in 4-5 mins with fully upgraded irons

[hoary minnow]

No, he didn't die a single time.

I think his iron mace was level 2

[true steeple]

Bosses aren’t great at killing on default difficulty

[hoary minnow]

And he had full iron armor

[hoary minnow]

Yes, I agree, well, it depends on which ones, and whether you already know the game or not.

[verbal sleet]

You guys are surely doing something wrong if it takes so much

[hoary minnow]

When the game is almost finished, I'll allow myself to start the game in hardcore.

[hoary minnow]

aha yes

[verbal sleet]

Third boss is a bit of a pushover imo

[true steeple]

The only time I’ve died to a boss was my second time fighting the queen. It was my first time using magic and I was focusing too much on skeletons instead of elemental magic so I didn’t have enough eitr to defend myself.

[verbal sleet]

The queen was the battle I fought worst, took me something like 30 mins of hit and run tactics

[unreal dove]

Hi, I'm having an issue loading an old worldsave after the latest update - The save was created pre Mistlands and worked fine up until pre ashlands. I did not open it since ashlands and now, once i logged into a copy of the world, the spawn and everythign arouns it seems to be in water ... It also looks like th map / seed seems to be completely different from what the original map looked like.

My base is near the spawn and i could see it falling apart as i logged in :/

Is there any way to fix this pre login, so that the world will still be playable?
Glad for any help 🙂

[tranquil lion]

2 questions

1. are there any really good build related mods? I saw planBuild which looks cool but wondering about anything else?

2. Was debug mode removed from the console commands? Forgot to use dev commands first

[tranquil lion]

Do i need a role for that?

[lilac coyote]

No

[jolly elk]

You could try rolling back your game to the pre BW beta in your Steam library.

[crimson lotus]

is moder weak to fire arrows?

[jovial ledge]

any positives of yagluth spawn being half-submerged in water?

[tranquil lion]

can someone help me understand why the left side supports 1 less than the right side? As far as i can tell all structures are evenly distributed. All my support beams are blue directly from the ground too... The left side just doesnt wanna cooperate

[crimson lotus]

what's the range of wishbone?

[faint shale]

how to stop monsters from spawning at base?

[junior ingot]

campfires, workbenches etc, they have a radius around them where no mobs spawn

[faint shale]

do torches work too? standing ones

[junior ingot]

i dont think so

workbenches and campfires only i think

cooked meat, jerky and skewer

[spare ravine]

How does one exactly fight the queen? She has so much hp is ridiculous

[subtle parrot]

Indeed it can be a long and arduous battle. I used a combination of arrow sniping and spell blasting with some himminafl use against the mobs. Otherwise last time I fought her with sword and shield, and that honestly felt easier.

[spare ravine]

Yeah well it just takes like one wrong move and its all over

and I feel like Im going to have to dedicate a whole hour for that fight

[subtle parrot]

Indeed i died twice

Only one time with sword and shield, but I don't think it took an hour

30 mins for sure though

[compact dawn]

Is there a way for me to change the drop multiplier in server without restarting?

[spare ravine]

Well im straight up not having a good time with it, and the whole mistland thing

[subtle parrot]

Have you tried looking on YouTube for the best ways to fight her? I'm sure there's some good vids out there

[spare ravine]

yes

[subtle parrot]

Not that I'm aware of, but there might be

[gloomy edge]

can i still use this nest as a farm? it’s right by the shore so i can’t dig down without it flooding

[copper raven]

@gloomy edge mods or no mods?

in either case, you can still farm it just by enclosing it, or surrounding it with dwarf-killing-whatevers

whats the way to farm them that you have in mind? dropping them into an enclosure being shot by skeletons or somehting? Thats the basic idea ive seen lately

[simple yoke]

is there any specific recommendation for black metal weapons?

[copper raven]

atgeir

[simple yoke]

oke ty

[copper raven]

it depends what you are accustomed to, the atgeir requires you to either have a lot of stamina, or have impulse control so you can moderate its use

all of the weapons are good, pick the one that you like and does enemy appropriate damage, atgeir is good becaseu fuling surround you..

[simple yoke]

it also should be good vs the lox bc piercing ye?

[copper raven]

and it blocks big hits

i prefer a spear for lox, and tower shield

[simple yoke]

i've still just been using my iron mace from bonemass

so anything will be a big upgrade lol

[copper raven]

nah, make two wolffang spears and use the second after throwing the first, until you can pick it up again. throwing damage ftw

but atgeir is good vs fuling mobs.. you just have to be disciplined and calm so you dont eat alll of your stamina and get staggered by them

like this, im outclassing it quite a bit with carapace weapon/spear, and im beiing crippled by the stutter, but youll get the idea https://odysee.com/@BETLOG:0/2024-11-07--11-16-44.287_Valheim:2

stay beside them works really well, and speartoss as much as possible, jab only for speed hits

also do a bow stealth hit (crouch and fire) from medium range before you engage melee, the 3x damage really helps, and sometimes you can hit them sefveral times before they come at you.

[steep tusk]

Sad the the Wolf Fang, which requires Silver to make, has no Spirit damage 😭

[copper raven]

try not to attract more then 1 at a time though :) and test that your food/shield combo can block attacks before you really commit to fighting lox

whats sad is that the ancient wood spear looks so awesome and does such garbage damage, its redundant almost as soon as it gets made

vs the neanderthal loooking wolffang spear.. lol

do you use mods?

[gloomy edge]

i could throw in a lox or two but they'd end up destroying the nest anyway

too bad i can’t get pufferfish

[copper raven]

is it possibble to raise ground over the nest to protect it, and still have them spawn... like you can do to swamp skele/dragr nests? i imagine it is

in which case the raised earth makes the nest basicaly untouchable

earth fencing a dwarf nest and a skeleton spawn into the same pen might be interesting too :) as if we dont already end up with far too many bones

[gloomy edge]

loxes do aoe damage but i might still manage to pull in skeletons

just not sure if the nest would keep working if it's covered with earth it stops functioning if you put a roof over it

[copper raven]

maybe try it on one you cant otherwise farm (too far, inconvenient etc)... i was just thinknig earlier i dont know of any i havent already destroyed, so i cant help you there :)

@simple yoke https://odysee.com/@BETLOG:0/2024-10-14--12-10-43.372_Valheim:1

[simple yoke]

it's not loading, what is it?

[copper raven]

give it a moment, i just upped it - fuling vs atgeir

it works for me, but your browser may fight it for a minute or three

i havent found it yet, but i have video of spear/shield vs 3+ lox at once somewhere, im sure it happened to me several times

the atgeir just runs out of steam when used on lox, but you might be able to make it work, i ended up favoring the spear, and not just one of them, thats key...and a blackmetal tower shield

[simple yoke]

damn that alt fire on the atgier does really well vs them

[copper raven]

yeah, stagger the biggest one and the rest fold pretty easy... youjust have to track them all, all the time, sneaky backstabbing......

[steep tusk]

? How?

Parry and kill.
Full steam.

[copper raven]

atgeir uses a lot of stamina, i dont know how else to describe it. Plus you dont need the 360degree arc, you just need to deliver damage to a single large area while blocking any damage that at you in between, so spear is fast, and you can throw it for extra damage, even at point blank range, thenif the lox stand s on it yyou just pull out you other spear and continue

[steep tusk]

Don't use the alt attack?
Just parry and kill.

(This is specific to Lox hunting)

[copper raven]

sure, i just nevr really liked it

also long range surprise spear hit dfoes major damage as an initial attack

[steep tusk]

You can run HSS food from the Mountains and still be fine with the BM Atgeir if you're worried about stamina.

Also yes, for an initial attack the Spear is going to be king.

[copper raven]

i think when i made two of them i changed somehow :} i had to be two-spears guy... it works so well on so many htings... NOBODY EXPECTS TWO SPEARS

I PROBABLY DIDNTY HAVE ACTUAL BLACKMETAL FOR A LONG (oopscaps) time either, i was basically getting ahead of myself by sneaking into a corner of plains, building on top of a stone finger, and sniping fuling from above... for weeks... before i could even forge the entire chest of blackmetal i had. and the iron atgeir probably wasnt as good for huge lumbering wilderbeasts... iirc

lol, i was living fulltime in plains, for weeks, before i defeated bonemass

[echo vale]

Hi everyone, I have a query I hope you can help me with.

I host a server via the game (just selecting the option "Start a server") and we're 3 people playing. Especially when in Ashlands, if there are many enemies in the area, we sometimes have some severe lag spikes that can ruin our gameplay.

I have a rather bad and slow SSD (Crucial BX500 480 GB). I have noticed some spikes in write activity when this happens (not autosaving).
Could this be the issue here? The rest of my system is fairly decent for this game.
Or is this mostly down to the internet connection of whoever is in charge of running the chunk at the time? What's the bottleneck here?

Thanks!

[copper raven]

windows, i assume - maybe try locking your pagefile size

[echo vale]

I have 16GB of RAM. Wouldn't that be plenty for this game?

[copper raven]

not sure, especially not sure with hostig for several players

you should monitor everythng, graph eerything and see what correlates

[echo vale]

I do run HWinfo when playing the game (not RAM though since I remember it sitting at about 60% usage). I see some spikes on the SSD where it writes at around 30MB/s during these busy times, whereas the rest of the time there's barely any activity, that's why I was wondering if the SSD was the issue.

Also, I'm in the UK and my two friends are in the US. Our latency from the F2 panel shows that we have about 120ms of ping, both them and I

[copper raven]

looks like im using ~10Gb when running the client, and a dedicated in another user account, but this is linux, so inherently different to windows, assuming that what you run
yeah, the drive might be an issue, but anyhting sata or m.2 thats solid state should probably be fine... maybe it s number of things happening at once that are causing the hit

[echo vale]

Most likely it is the number of things happening at once since it happens when there are many monsters around fighting with us.
What I'm trying to figure out is whether it's one of our internet connections, slow hardware, or whatever it may be. I also read that the first person to join an area is the one running the calculations for what happens there.

[copper raven]

well as the host you are also simulating all of their AI, so maybe its nudging the limits sof what its comfy doing, or like you said: causing writes. Check your paging file, iirc thats still an issue in windows; where it likes to change size at inapprpriate times

plenty of windows things like to eat cpu at inapproriate moments though... so eh

like i said, graph it all, follow the spikes to the process and see what happens when you poke/kill them

[echo vale]

I'll have a look at the paging file. I assume I should try to set it to a set amount rather than allow Windows to use as much as it pleases?

The CPU doesn't break a sweat even during busy times, it's always running at pretty much constant usage. The only thing that I see spiking is write rates on the SSD.

[copper raven]

yeah, specify a fixed size, just make sure its big enough...alternately remove the paging file, but i doubt thats a good idea with 16Gb.

CPU
same, on that image the 100% cpu is me encoding video, the right side of the cpu/gpu graph is valheim, in my base surrounded by tames and massive polygon complexity, so yeah, the game has a lean diet

[echo vale]

I'll start with setting the page file to a fixed size (not gonna disable it) and see how that goes. I'll see whether I can monitor something else with HWinfo that I may be missing. Thanks for your help!

[wanton charm]

Hi what is best knife to get after copper knife?

[true steeple]

Abyssal razor is the third knife

[wanton charm]

are those turtle things hard to find

[steep tusk]

They are random.

[limber wigeon]

Hey, getting into magic, will i be fine with just 1 eitr food? Ty for answers

[true steeple]

I find 2 eitr 1 stamina works best. You don't need any health if you have a staff of protection.

[limber wigeon]

Ty

[steep tusk]

Upgrade to 2 Eitr 1 Feast once you have Mistlands or better Feast options.

[limber wigeon]

Im currently running ||Sizzling berry broth, marinated greens, Ashlands gourmet|| lmk if there's a better option

[steep tusk]

Food sheet pinned in #valheim-chat
Configurations tab.

You're looking for EEF in the Mistlands/Ashlands section.

[true steeple]

The differences between food from the same biome are very small, it's best to use what you have most ingredients for unless you really need 5 extra stamina/health/eitr for something (you don't)

[crimson lotus]

any reason/s, why surtling aren't spawning? I've been building near this place for mroe than 20 minutes

[final briar]

I have a server that is created before the last update does bog witch spawns where I dont discover or it can be spawn anywhere

[final briar]

it is probably the place where they spawn is under water

[crimson lotus]

yeah, isn't that a thing to automatically kill them?

[subtle parrot]

Yes water will kill them, but if you have some base items too close to it they won't spawn at all due to spawn suppression

[crimson lotus]

so if i built a base near it it won't spawn?

[serene tangle]

Yes, you need to have base slightly far from it

[subtle parrot]

You can build a base, but stuff like workbenches campfires beds etc will not allow them to spawn, so you can build around it but you'll have to destroy any player base items that prevent spawning.

[crimson lotus]

ah, im doomed...

although it's just a shelter, only chest and portals are near it

[cursive dew]

Portals prevent spawn

[crimson lotus]

oh, i see thanks, imma move it now

[serene tangle]

Well, yes, you need to build it slightly further. No need to build a shelter though, portal on top of a crypt works ok.

[small nest]

it feels super cool to hide from rain and cold in swamp shack tho

thats why i build shelters in swamps

[crimson lotus]

yeah, i just thought that since i only have 1 base as of now, I wanted to build a base in swamp that could be useful>coal

[winged dust]

How do i stop the stick drift i have now? The bug with Xbox that made the menus crazy is fixed but now i have stick drift i think its called i keep slowly walking when i let go of the stick

[junior ingot]

googled it and it says there was an issue with stickdrift in menus but they fixed it, it said you should update to make sure you got the fix

[frosty frost]

Unfortunately it seems some issues are persisting still, hopefully there will be a patch soon 🙂

[winged dust]

Ty hopefully soon it’s not detrimental but quit annoying when you’re building 😅

[unreal jay]

Should I skip Bronze Armor entirely? i heard it’s a pain

[quasi vault]

Yes, it gives you at best 6 more armor than troll armor when fully upgraded, which is not much, but it makes you slower

Just hunt trolls and make the light armor

[stoic trench]

Bronze armor does look absolutely amazing though 👀

[frosty patrol]

can i move these? i cant disassemble them

[stoic trench]

You cannot move them once they have been eaten from

[quasi vault]

You remove them with the serving tray but once it's not at 10/10 you don't get the feast back, it just destroy it, everything else placed with the tray can be removed and you get it back

[jolly dome]

The game at the current patch level is unplayable for me. The longer I am on, the more it lags. Eventually it goes down to 5fps and the client queue increases into the 3k's. Things I build in that situation disappear if I relog. It seems all I have to do is stay connected to the dathost server for around 5-10 minutes. If I relog it gets better temporarily. I turned down graphix settings from what I had before bogwitch patch. It doesn't seem to matter whether I launch from Thunderstore or steam directly. I couldn't play much since school started in September, but as is the game is unplayable for me. Did the PC requirements go up with bog witch?

[frosty frost]

Did you try disabling all the mods and seeing if it still does that?

[jolly dome]

of course, I turned off all mods. still cannot play successfully for more than a few mintues

[frosty frost]

Reinstall?

[jolly dome]

no, rly are you serious? i could do that but i worry about my locally saved toons getting deleted by mistake if I don't do that right.

[buoyant peak]

They won't

[frosty frost]

Well i really dont know then, i would still try a completely clean reinstall (no mods or anything else) and try if it still does that, before that you might also want to check drivers if they are all up to date.

[jolly dome]

ok, I will have to try it. i can't play on the new patch anymore for more than a few minutes anyway.

[jovial ledge]

Does raised shield help against Growth's attack?

[quasi vault]

Would not recommend

Poison resist will help if you get hit, but it's best to just use range, avoid the attack and melee them from behind or let loxes or fuling take care of them

[green bolt]

if you manage to block all, yes, but even a slight miscalculation or turn in the wrong direction will cause you to get tarred

which is highly un-recommended

[true steeple]

It is blockable but I don't think they can be staggered so parrying won't be very helpful

[green bolt]

its best to dodge the attack entirely or take them out at range before they spot you

[brazen patrol]

Are there only one of each npc in a world ?

[cursive dew]

Yes

[quasi vault]

Always

[lilac coyote]

There are 10 potential locations, but the first one you find will become the only one.

[brazen patrol]

What's my best way out of this ? 😭

Do I just run to the shore and hit it ?

[true steeple]

Yes, if there's land nearby you'll be ok

[mellow lodge]

easy to outrun

[true steeple]

You don't get the meat though

[brazen patrol]

Not ideal situation here

[mellow lodge]

lol. well, the troll can kill it for you

[brazen patrol]

he ran away 😔

Resting before fighting his big brother

[jovial ledge]

do I get more XP if i hit multiple enemies in one swing?

[frosty frost]

I dont believe you do...

[pure portal]

guys, i will have to do a excavation that big to not cross a whole triple or quadruple area on a river that goes down of the map, any quick excavation tips?

[frosty frost]

Is it even possible? You can only dig so far before reaching dig limit...

[pure portal]

dont tell me that man

[brazen patrol]

One small hill and you're out

[frosty frost]

You might be able to dig a channel here tho 😉

[pure portal]

idk if the sea is covering that part, i will do one thing, i will carry on the things on my second boat (the T signal on the coast of the upper left part) and explore that, if there is no water there i will just do a cart there, put the materials from one boat to antoher and ask jesus to not encounter a 2 star troll in the way

[frosty frost]

It seems much more promising than the spot you picked since you can actually see water there on the map 😄

[pure portal]

POGGERS

IMMA GO BACK BASE RN

[frosty frost]

But is the terrain low enough...

[pure portal]

in that part yes it is, i remember when i explored, but like not there

i might can go like that

[frosty frost]

Yeah thats what i meant

[mellow lodge]

it'll depend on the terrain height. remember you can only dig down 8m

[steel thorn]

so a slime raid destroyed my maypole... and no option to rebuild. Can I spawn it back with commands?

[terse tulip]

Hello i need some help with building. Trying to do a circle roof and i need some advice 🙂 DM me!

[quick wyvern]

how to drive boat

:>

[raven cobalt]

I am having a problem upgrading my black metal pickaxe. I have a level 7 forge, and tonnes of Ygg-wood and black metal. The interface shows fulfillment of all the requirements (no red flashing numbers or icons). But I cannot push the button to upgrade the pickaxe. It is greyed out and shows the hover-note saying "Missing Requirement"

[frosty frost]

Yes you can 🙂

[steel thorn]

also, does the queens health reset if you leave the arena?

[frosty frost]

no

[flint yoke]

Recovers extremely slowly

[frosty frost]

100% hp per hour like any other mob 🙂

[tired root]

And sleeping speeds up the process.

[steel thorn]

okay so if i run out real quick to restore my rested it shouldnt make much of a difference?

[brisk leaf]

anyone tried farming a stone obelisk and it didn't fall down? I have the same problem with copper deposits

[green bolt]

yep

[green bolt]

if you mine a larger stone or ore deposit, it works kinda weird where if there is any ground or other material up to 2m from wht youre mining it will not break

[frail cave]

it's still connected somewhere, even if it doesn't look like it. break whichever fragments are closest to the ground, especially ones left sticking out of the ground below

[brisk leaf]

yeah i tried that, i'll dig down under it

[green bolt]

basically if you can reach anything with the pickaxe from standing on ground it wont break

[lilac coyote]

You'll also probably need to hit it once to update the physics.

[brisk leaf]

i ended up using my hoe to raise ground and got it, thanks all

[pure portal]

this is the luckiest thing that could have happend

to get you in context of what i had to do if that was not there

[frosty frost]

OOOOOOF

[brisk leaf]

thats sweet

[tired root]

Well, in one bright note, you might not have found those merchant spawn points if you didn't go that way.

[brazen patrol]

I'm getting desperate is there any trick to find the merchant ?

300 weight is killing me

[mellow lodge]

once you find the merchant you just put a portal there. the weight doesn't matter

[tired root]

I think they might want to find Haldor for the Megingjord.

[mellow lodge]

ahhh. that makes more sense lol

[brazen patrol]

yep

[mellow lodge]

reading comprehension fail

[limber wigeon]

Hey, is there a way to tell my ||Ask to stay after riding?|| It started hunting deers all over my entire island lmao

[tired root]

Hildir might be the easiest to find since she can be found in Meadows in 3000m to 5100m range.

[mellow lodge]

i think all the vendors are in that same ring from spawn

[tired root]

Haldor has much larger range since Black forest can be found up to 8000 meters.

[pure portal]

true

[mellow lodge]

just sail around in that range and hug the shores near BF

[tired root]

Haldor's range is 1500m to 8000m

[brazen patrol]

Do they both sell the belt ?

[mellow lodge]

good to know. i just assumed they were the same. in my map they all are roughly the same distance

[tired root]

No, only Haldor. You can sell your valuables to both of them though.

[brazen patrol]

You got me scared for a sec

[true steeple]

There aren’t any items that can be bought from multiple traders, they all have unique stock.

[brazen patrol]

I already found the two other's location

Didn't get to talk to them since I was just sailing

But my man Haldor's nowhere to be found

[tired root]

Like I said, Haldor has much larger range where he can spawn.

The Bog Witch's spawn point also seem to be limited to the range where Swamps can appear, up to 6000m. In pre-Mistlands worlds Swamps could appear up to 8000m before the world gen was changed.

[brazen patrol]

How far are mistlands ? I got to see a bit of it on my map so maybe I can at least guess the area I can find him in

[steel thorn]

killed the queen. It was easy but long and boring

[frail cave]

they start around 5700-5900 iirc, a little over half the world's radius

[pure portal]

finally home with 240 of silver, ty for the help

[steel thorn]

how did you get the ivy and plants in front?

[tired root]

Bog Witch sells seeds for them.

[frail cave]

considering the bushes also present, it might also be mods

not sure how natural that vine growth pattern looks, haven't done much with them yet

[lament isle]

it took u over 1 hour to make it back ??

[tired root]

It's quite similar to Ashvine, maybe a bit... lushier.

[frosty frost]

[pure portal]

yes, cause i was exploring, mining, and planing my way to go back without dying in the process

and i like to play so slow

[pure portal]

yes i have QoL mods, i can plant bushes and trees that in vanilla cant, but the game is still vanilla i just use mods for decoration

[lilac coyote]

You can't have mods and call it vanilla.

[pure portal]

then its semi-vanilla

vanilla+

[frosty frost]

Moded 🤷‍♂️

[brazen patrol]

How did I respawn here 😭

[pure portal]

[frosty frost]

Magic XD

[steel thorn]

How do I do this?

[prime quest]

What mobs' raid will appear after Yagluth gets defeated?

[last kindle]

hi all

About the witcha, she does appear into a non explored swamp biome right?

ok i think i will have to use the seed gen this time

I already explored many swamps, and dunno how many spot I have burnt

[brazen patrol]

Now we wait

[slow orchid]

recommended ele magic lvl for mistlands boss/ashlands?

[brazen patrol]

Gonna cross ocean at night on a raft

[brazen patrol]

Plot twist my tomb is gone

Last save is from 2 hours before death

[pulsar breach]

what if i have a boar that isnt fully tamed yet, and i go away to explore, will he despawn?

[mellow lodge]

he won't despawn. but you'll lose some taming progress.

[pulsar breach]

ok thanks

[last osprey]

Maybe 30-40 for Queen? That's where mine was when i killed her the first time and i didn't have too much trouble.
For Ashlands 40-50 is about where magic starts feeling comfortable imo, below that you tend to run out of eitr before your enemies run out of life.

[slow orchid]

👍 ty

[brazen patrol]

Is there a way of shortening the time between backups ? 2 hours is kind of long

(Since I just lost 2 hours)

[steep tusk]

You can manually save the game at any time.

[frosty frost]

Also every time new day starts it should auto save

[little trench]

whats stronger in ashlands? melee or mage

[true steeple]

I prefer melee but I’ve seen many people saying that magic is very overpowered there

[lilac coyote]

I think Mistlands and Ashlands generally favours magic, but if you're a good melee player it's possible to make it work. I'm not a mage myself.

[stoic trench]

Can concur, melee is very doable in all biomes

[mellow lodge]

i did ashlands with magic. but now with ashlands gear, i'm exploring in melee. i consider myself a bad melee player really

[little trench]

right now im playing full upgraded mage in ashlands, using vines + fireball a lot. its nice but feels like its a lot of setup... when melee is just parry + hit and receive like same result maybe

[true steeple]

Magic can parry a lot more than melee if you do it right
(Stronger hits, not more frequent attacks)

[little trench]

this is just the feeling i get from watching my friend

[mellow lodge]

i play mage with a lot of setup, 4 skellies. it's probably safer than melee.

[little trench]

ah i dont use skellies because it takes a lot of eitr to summon and they just die so easily

the big strength of mage i feel like is the vine staff, can melt valkyrie sooo fast

[mellow lodge]

they don't die with bubble though. i sometimes bring a butcher knife and kill them until i get mostly archers. 🙂

[little trench]

but again its sometimes a lot of setup..

[mellow lodge]

it takes time, but yeah, it's a lot of setup

my blood magic is in the 80s, so they hit hard

[little trench]

ah yea mine is like 26

[raven cobalt]

Am I supposed to need to dig for the entrance to the Queen? I'm at the location on the map and there's nothing here

[whole grail]

I love valheim

a masterpiece

[true steeple]

If you used the vegvisir before the bog witch update, you’ll need to use it again

[raven cobalt]

Should I just start another seed again?

[frail cave]

go back to the vegvisir and check it again for an updated location

[tired root]

No, visit the same Vegvisir.

[raven cobalt]

I had the seed even before Hildir, and I've yet to find her either. Will I find the bogwitch too?

[tired root]

Yes. In unexplored Swamps.

And Hildir can be found in unexplored Meadows, at some distance from the center.

[raven cobalt]

Okay thanks

[little trench]

for melee ashlands, any recommended weaps? other than mistwalker

[thorn spire]

silver sword.

most of the enemies are weak vs spirit.

[tired root]

Frostner, Himminafl, Demolisher.

[thorn spire]

or, if your skill is high enough, I recommend the Himminafl.

The Himminafl is basically "Can't touch me."

[tired root]

Add the big "ZZAP" on that too.

[little trench]

ya ive been using himm in mistlands for stuff like ticks. idk if theres anything like that in ashlands tho

i guess theres generally just tons of mobs swarming you, so it might be useful

like when raiding forts

[tired root]

Some resist pierce but not all and Lightning damage is added to the stagger unlike Frost for example.

While Mistwalker deals good damage it doesn't stagger well because of Frost damage and it lacks the knockback of Frostner.

[thorn spire]

here's the thing with any atgeir. the charred can't touch you. 1x regular attack, 1x secondary, knocks them back far enough to do it again. I've gone toe-to-toe with 2* warriors and never taken a hit.

[little trench]

what do u guys think about berserkir axes (specifically lighting variant)? would you struggle as solo attacking fortress?

[thorn spire]

with good food, armor and bonemass, no.

you're going to need something ranged though. often there are charred warlocks or marksman on top of the tower.

[lofty halo]

Do red jute curtains add comfort? Or only banners?

[jovial ledge]

do dwergr respawn in their tower after they've been killed off?

[mellow lodge]

nope

[steel thorn]

does grausten only come from the ruins in ashlands or is it mined?

[urban hearth]

Staff of protection creates a shoeld at 200hp +5×skill. At 50 skill its 450hp shield, that doesn't have any armor.
Wiki says that a seeker deals damage as per follows. I assume the three values corresponds to three attacks.

So, the shield can take 4-5 attacks from a seeker before breaking?

[tropic granite]

1 point - 1 blocked attack unless it's damage was too much for the shield

If you mean exactly magic shield, it can take as many attacks as it has 1+ HP, so it's 6 with good luck

[upper prism]

can you rename chests

[tranquil lion]

How do you place stuff like fires or smelters on wood?

[lilac coyote]

You don't.

Ground or stone.

[upper prism]

you can't rename chests?

[tranquil lion]

I see people doing it by raising the ground then placing but how do you make it look good lol

[lilac coyote]

You can't NAME chests.

[upper prism]

dang

thank you

[lime wasp]

Who is unknown user this application is pming me to contact?

[lilac coyote]

That's the mod bot.

[steep tusk]

@lofty orchid

[lime wasp]

Thanks

[crimson lotus]

what's the best weapon to use for moder? melee

[hardy prism]

is it risky to build this way? since i think it wont take much for a monster to knock off the poles

[buoyant peak]

Fang spear

[lament hinge]

silver sword is crying in the corner

[lament hinge]

pretty sure she resists blunt damage so dont use maces or sledges

[subtle parrot]

All of the large rocks in the ashlands and the spires in the shallows leading into the ashlands, it's all grausten

[lament hinge]

also the smaller rocks around putrid holes

[narrow inlet]

Hello everyone: My friends and I just died in a dyvergr camp and lost all our stuff. What is the best way to get it back?

[lament hinge]

you dont have any portals left do you?

nearby where you died i mean

[narrow inlet]

There is one 200m away

There is no problem getting there

But as soon as we get close we get shot down by the mage

[lament hinge]

is there any way you could kill it with a bow?

and what type of mage is it?

[narrow inlet]

3 mages unsure which types
One gave my friend a buff and shot purple lasers
One shot fireballs
Sorry I don’t know the names

[lament hinge]

so support mage and fire mage

if youve got barley wine definitely use that

[narrow inlet]

I have a good vantage point

[lament hinge]

and what food are you using?

[narrow inlet]

We have seeker meat, and the meadow and black forest feasts

[lament hinge]

that’s actually perfect, just shoot them with arrows but dont be exposed for too long

you’ll probably need better than that

have you just started mistlands or are you a little further in?

[narrow inlet]

We are a bit further in

[lament hinge]

because it looks like you’re wearing leather armor possibly iron?

obviously your proper armor is in the corpse

[narrow inlet]

Unfortunately we didn’t think ahead and all our good stuff is in our bodies

We have some iron we could scrap up

*armor

[lament hinge]

whats the second best armor youve got?

because leather is not going to cut it against mages unfortunately

[narrow inlet]

One Fenris one plains armor set

[lament hinge]

well fenris might be worth using, more movement speed and fire resistance

if you can snipe the mages then quickly run in and grab the tombstones

[narrow inlet]

Ok thank you

[lament hinge]

but i would definitely recommend getting better food, the two early game feasts arent going to do well against seekers, especially if they have stars

id recommend hunting for some serpents if you haven’t already

[narrow inlet]

Ok

Should we just grab our stuff and go?

[lament hinge]

yes, grab your stuff and go back through the portal to regroup

rested buff, better food etc

[steep tusk]

...

Food is more important than gear.

I don't know how people don't get that. 😭

[lament hinge]

best food going into mistlands is probably lox pie, serpent stew and blood pudding

although youll need a lot of barley if youre cooking for 2 people

[narrow inlet]

Alright

[steep tusk]

Using Meadows food in the Mistlands... like why would you think that is a good idea?

[lament hinge]

itll be a lot of prep time but itll be worth it, your experience will be infinitely better

[lament hinge]

man go easy on them they’re just asking for help

[steep tusk]

Hi.

[crimson lotus]

is it better than silver sword?

[lament hinge]

ive never used it so im no help

[buoyant peak]

Faster attack speed

[lament hinge]

mostly depends on skill lvl (but dont throw the spear coz if you lose it ur screwed)

[steep tusk]

Don't do the thing Spears are designed for?

Next advice: don't carry arrows when you take your bow out.

[narrow inlet]

All our good food is on our bodies
We didn’t think this through

[steep tusk]

Mistakes like this are the best teachers.

You'll be happy with the 3 more inventory slots you have from now on because you won't be carrying all your food. 👍

[lament hinge]

well what are u gonna do if you miss the spear and it goes all the way down the mountain?

[steep tusk]

Sounds like a skill issue.

[lament hinge]

ill change my wording, dont throw the spear WHILE she’s flying

[lament hinge]

good lord

spears are ill advised anyway since 90% of late game mobs resist pierce

[narrow inlet]

Thank you @lament hinge for the help
We ate lots of food and used our old gear
One guy got his stuff and distracted them with his bow from the high ground
We got all our stuff one by one
Then we destroyed their base with a gjall to establish dominance

[lament hinge]

no worries mate, always happy to help 🙂

go show those stupid bugs who’s boss

[steep tusk]

My food sheet pinned in #valheim-chat has a "Configurations" tab for quick reference regarding what to eat.

[narrow inlet]

Thanks!

[tired root]

She doesn't resist blunt, but she is immune to Frost and weak against Fire.

[lament hinge]

i just use silver sword and fire arrows

[steep tusk]

Flaming Mace when?

[lament hinge]

ohhhhh thats why i was getting grey dmg numbers, it was the frost from frostner

i just assumed it was the blunt

[tired root]

Yeah, Frostner is bad against her

But otherwise great weapon in next biomes.

[steep tusk]

Frostner is bad

Yes 👍

[lament hinge]

i havent used maces in general in a while so

[lament hinge]

i mean…it isnt but ok

it’s perfectly viable into mistlands

[tired root]

That's your opinion Sev and it's fine 👍

[steep tusk]

So are spears, but apparently those are "ill-advised" 🙃

[lament hinge]

not when the mobs resist the damage they deal 🤭

at least frostner has some elemental damage

[steep tusk]

As always, my weapon shouldn't make it harder for me to kill things 😉

[lament hinge]

well in mistlands u dont rlly have a choice so

[steep tusk]

Huh?

[lament hinge]

seekers resist all physical damage?

so the more elemental damage the better, something spears cant do outside of the ashlands

[steep tusk]

So how does that make Frostner knocking things out of reach so I cannot kill thim "dont rlly have a choice so"?

[lament hinge]

oh wait no himminafl too my b

[lament hinge]

its a mace its gonna have high knockback

[steep tusk]

Check your stats again 🙃

[lament hinge]

you can use it as a spacing tool as well, how is that a bad thing

[steep tusk]

Because that is not the universal truth you think it is.
And Frostner was not always as it is now.

[lament hinge]

if ur talking about fang spear doing spirit, spirit isnt viable against seekers soooo

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

its a mace its gonna have high knockback

^^^

Check your stats again 🙃
Because that is not the universal truth you think it is.
And Frostner was not always as it is now.

[lament hinge]

when i used frostner, it was good, even into mistlands

it was a little while ago but it wasnt bad by any stretch of the imagination

also if you’re able to do a spear only playthrough, i think youre good enough to deal with a little knockback from a mace…

[steep tusk]

I don't think you even know where the point is at this juncture, so... moving on.

[lament hinge]

explain it then?

[steep tusk]

I did. You missed it.
I do not feel like repeating.
Moving on.

[lament hinge]

i didnt play at launch, im saying from personal experience that frostner is a good and viable weapon both within and outside of the biome you aquire it in

[lament hinge]

can you explain it again so i can actually see your point?

[tired root]

I have had none problems killing enemies with Frostner, knockback added with Frost effect gives time to move closer and hit with secondary attack when single enemy, with multiple enemies I can just whack them all with 3 hit combos.

[lament hinge]

exactly my point, the knockback isnt an inherent negative

plus if you knock something further away than youd like, you can always…run towards it

[crimson lotus]

which is better for moder fang spear or silver sword?

[tired root]

I learned to appreciate the knockback of Clubs in my deathless run, I used to dislike the knockback back then.

[steep tusk]

Max rank?

[tired root]

Both are good, depending also on your skill.

[crimson lotus]

nope, i can upgrade fang to 2 but the sword can't

[tired root]

Fang Spear is much much cheaper than the Silver Sword.

[steep tusk]

So Fang 2 vs. Sword 1?

[crimson lotus]

my spear is 29, sword is 0

[crimson lotus]

yes

[steep tusk]

Fang.

[tired root]

Go with Fang then.

[crimson lotus]

alr thanks

[lament hinge]

if youre not bothered to mine like 200 silver, go with the spear

[tired root]

160 to be exact. Fully upgraded Silver Sword requires that much. Plus some Iron.

[lament hinge]

i never upgrade past lvl 2

but yeah 40 base craft for the silver sword is kinda crazy

[tired root]

Silver Sword is good against 5th boss and also good in Ashlands thanks to its high Spirit damage.

[lament hinge]

coz 160 is like 1.5 silver veins alone

[lament hinge]

ive never tested the difference between silver and blackmetal sword on Yag, i assume theyre not overly different but

[steep tusk]

Blackmetal is 113 vs. Silver being 93 + 45

Silver outright wins.

[tired root]

Yagluth isn't immune to Spirit like most of enemies, he takes normal damage from it. Spirit damage stacks when hitting multiple times.

[frosty frost]

It Is quite a bit better 😄

[lament hinge]

damn i guess silver sword next time

although the bonemass + beserkir mead makes the fight even quicker now

[frosty frost]

It really Is not necessary, Frostner and BM sword are also good 🙂

[lament hinge]

true

and id rather blackmetal to stagger fulings without parrying

[crimson lotus]

enough prep for moder?

[steep tusk]

Uh....

[lament hinge]

wolf skewer

[crimson lotus]

i haven't found onions yet

[frosty frost]

Maybe better food and you don't really need the fire arrows, but otherwise good 😄

[lament hinge]

oh thats fair enough, them shits are elusive

[steep tusk]

1. Why do you need a Pickaxe to fight Moder?
2. Why are you carrying 6 of each food to fight Moder?
3. Why are you using Stamina Mead instead of Tasty?

[lament hinge]

he doesnt need to just dump his inventory to do the bossfight

what effect is that gonna have on his ability to fight the boss?

[crimson lotus]

i just like to bring my pickaxe, axe and hoe everywhere, 6 food cuz that's all i can afford specially eyescream, and i didn't know tasty mead is better

[frosty frost]

1. true you don't need it but i carry even cultivator everywhere
   2)if it Is a LOOONG fight
2. why the hell not, also works well 🙂

[steep tusk]

Clearly you haven't been here for the years and years of "I died while carrying all my stuff [in a situation I didn't need to]" complaints that are entirely avoidable by... you no... not carrying all your stuff when you don't need to.

[lament hinge]

i mean there’s nothing wrong with bringing both, i always do just in case

[lament hinge]

ill be real, i dont die enough to worry about that 🤷‍♂️

[steep tusk]

You need maybe 2 of each food, not 6. That's my point.

[crimson lotus]

ah i see, i thought you meant it wasn't enough

[gusty crest]

Hi, I have a question, which weapon do you think is best to upgrade against the fifth boss?

[steep tusk]

Cool.
In any scenario I am still advocating for good habits.
Not the "well, iT hAsNt HaPpEnEd To Me YeT" approach.

[lament hinge]

silver sword

[frosty frost]

Silver sword, Frostner or BM sword

[gusty crest]

Rly? I already have it max upgrade

[lament hinge]

5th boss doesnt resist spirit dmg

[frosty frost]

Then you are set, for Yag Its the best you can get 😄

[steep tusk]

If you have all your food, and you die, how are you planning to get your stuff back?

Don't carry all your food, so if something happens you have backups of your best food to go get your stuff back.

[lament hinge]

sorry i forgot we dont care about personal opinions here, my bad

[gusty crest]

The black metal weapons dont worth upgrade?

[frosty frost]

Oh they are, but for Yag specificaly the silver sword Is best

[lament hinge]

blackmetal sword is better against fulings, silver sword is better against the boss

[steep tusk]

You asked about a very specific fight and are getting a very specific answer.

Generalizing about black metal weapons overall will change the given answer.

[crimson lotus]

ah i see your point, but before when i die i just eat all stam food i have carrot stew and sum berries then grab and go

[frosty frost]

Also BMsword and Frostner will perform better in mistlands

[steep tusk]

That is a bad habit.

[gusty crest]

I see, thanks guys

[frosty frost]

Getting all stam food works even in ashlands for me 🤷‍♂️

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

[lament hinge]

people are allowed to play games how they want

[crimson lotus]

this is why i brought pickaxe ehe

[steep tusk]

See previous.

[lament hinge]

you said yourself that mistakes are a great teacher…

we’re here to offer suggestions, not outright tell people what to do

[frosty frost]

Played since March 2021 😉 didn't have problems with that

[steep tusk]

🙃

[gusty crest]

Yeah, i was thinking if i dont need to craft a black metal weapon for the 5t boss I could just skip to te next biome of weapons

[steep tusk]

Are you short on blackmetal somehow?

[gusty crest]

Nop

[steep tusk]

Then I am confused.

[lament hinge]

yk maybe he’s excited to fight a new boss and explore a new biome, instead of just sitting there smelting ore like he’s been doing since black forest?

[gusty crest]

I hava a lot but im short in the silk (idk how is the name in inglish)

[steep tusk]

Linen, and I get that.

@lament hinge given you're just going to be opposed to everything I say from now until the heat-death of the universe, block me and save yourself some reply time.

[lament hinge]

im not saying you dont have useful information to offer

[steep tusk]

...

[lament hinge]

but your opinion isnt the objective truth, we can all offer different insights

[steep tusk]

I have never stated it was.

[lament hinge]

again, suggesting, not ordering

[lament hinge]

you didnt need to, thats the thing

[steep tusk]

And you've done nothing by oppose me since we have begun interacting.

So...
In the interest of saving you time...

[lament hinge]

im not opposing you out of hate or anything, im just wanting to offer different perspectives that other people may possibly like to consider

[steep tusk]

Fine, I'll do it 🙄

Ah... peace at last.

[lament hinge]

because this is a SANDBOX game and people can play however they like

suggesting is useful and intuitive but at the end of the day its the player’s choice

[frosty frost]

I think Its just the train of thought "Oh you suggest THIS weapon for the hardest and final enemy of this biome? Must be usefull even in next one when Its so good." Since they might not know the exact reasons why this weapon Is simply awesome specificaly against this enemy but not really against other enemies they will encounter in next biome

[steep tusk]

Confusion stemmed from "Given how little you actually use BM for at all, opposition to making a single weapon of it is odd."

But they were lacking in Linen, not BM. Which is fair.

[crimson lotus]

hey found it now, thanks for giving me motivation to look for it lol

[lament hinge]

all good haha

i wish they could be found in frost cave chests, that would make them far less rare

id love to hear how the bossfight goes too 👍

[crimson lotus]

lemme farm this onions for a bit and i'll give an update 👍

[lament hinge]

cheers king, good luck 🫡

[tired root]

Great, gotta say without onions you would have missed many food recipes later on 😅

All crops stay somewhat relevant when progressing further.

[crimson lotus]

Good to know, since i've been farming turnips and carrots ever since i found them

[crimson lotus]

btw about these meats, should i save them or cook them

[tired root]

Save. No recipe require cooked lox meat.

Most foods don't require cooked meats anyway, only Deer Stew. Although we have some feasts now that require certain cooked meats.

[lament hinge]

yeah definitely save onions, used in both mistlands and ashlands recipes

[lament hinge]

i do like how they make crops cross-biome

like im surprised we havent gotten a dish that uses all of the veggies

[tired root]

Same, when my group was anticipating for Mistlands update we had lots of those crops and we were wondering if we even needed them anymore. Then to our surprise they became relevant for Mistlands tier foods.

[lament hinge]

i just wish that onions were easier to find given how many recipes they’re in 🥲

[true steeple]

I always find onions much faster than turnips

[tired root]

I have rarely any problems to find onions, since they can be found inside chest in those small wooden huts or stone buildings.

But the turnip seed flower is sometimes very evasive.

[lament hinge]

well thats only coz swamp is only like 40% land so there’s way fewer spots

idk ive found turnips to be more common than onions

[tired root]

Well, it's RNG.

[lament hinge]

true, maybe im just coping

[naive sentinel]

are the versions on steam and pc game pass different right now?

[true steeple]

They’re the same, updates release on all platforms at the same time

[naive sentinel]

friend updated today on steam and now we cant play?

nvm looks like he needed to verify his files

[frosty frost]

Is it saying you have wrong version or some other message? If Its the latter then the problem is something else and not the version

[naive sentinel]

it was saying wrong version, mine was newer than his, but I got him to verify and it looks like we got to the same version number after he did that

[copper raven]

how do i clip myself and a... a .. friend... out of an infected mine }:]

[hexed pier]

hi which beta to play the latest version ? /°

please 🙂

[copper raven]

the betas are PRIOR versions (afaik)

[copper raven]

you dont need to select a beta to play the lastest version

[hexed pier]

ok thx 🙂

[molten mountain]

how many potion effects can be active at a time? 🤔

[steep tusk]

All.

[unreal dove]

Will try that today, but i don't really see how this will fix my map for the current game version 🤔

[crimson lotus]

she dead, twas pretty easy considering she takes too long before attacking again when on ground, its just sometimes i get hit by her icycles attack, but overall pretty easy boss (hope i dont jinx this phrase)

[steep tusk]

That is how Moder goes.

[lusty light]

I have a problem with my castle, i have used allot of iron poles to build it but it is red on the third floor, doesnt matter how much support i place. The lower floor is very stable. Also the walls are stable and the structure is about 6-8 large stone walls high

[steep tusk]

Avoid ice spikes.
Whack her to death when she lands.

[steep tusk]

Uh... freestanding 6-8 large walls tall is... tall AF man.

So yeah, that's gonna be red.

[tired root]

Ice attacks are devastating if careless. Once one of my friends took a full blow of the ice attack and the ragdoll of his corpse was too funny

[steep tusk]

Even with resistance they hit for 115 damage per shot.

Yag doesn't even hit that hard.

[tired root]

Yeah, on Hard preset against Moder one ice hit me and took 2/3 of my HP (I had Serpent Stew, Wolf Skewer and Sea feast so over 200hp)

[steep tusk]

Queen's hardest hit vs. Resist is 120, for reference.

So yeah, Moder slaps if you don't dodge.

[tired root]

Or run sideways.

[steep tusk]

That is a way one can dodge.

[tired root]

Ratatosk Tonic made it quite easier to just run sideways 👍

[crimson lotus]

is yag easier, and also what weapon is good for yag?

[steep tusk]

"Easier" would imply any of them are hard.

And Silver Sword is BiS for Yag.

[true steeple]

Silver sword, frostner and blackmetal sword are the best three in that order

[bronze socket]

When I logged off I was in a boat with all my stuff. I log back on and my inventory is void, I have no food eaten, my boat is gone and im floating in the water. I saved when I left. I dont understand what happened, did I crash when saving of somethign? I dont remember anything going wrong. Is there anyway to get my stuff back?

[tired root]

The Holy trinity of options against Yagluth 🙏

[cursive dew]

||killed him with the flesh rippers 🔥 ||

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword.
End of list 🙂

[cursive dew]

Try checking for character and world backups

Silver knife with its fast attacks make possible to circle behind his back preventing him attacking you. (Because it deals Spirit damage it is okay option)

[cursive dew]

When I fought him ||he did the AOE attack all the time so couldn't be constantly on his back||

[true steeple]

You can’t constantly stay at his back but it’s usually a good idea to tank a few hits from the aoe to get more damage

[lament hinge]

nice work mate, onto the plains 👍

[tired root]

Btw, I recommend upgrading your Shield if you still have Silver. It's not too expensive fortunately.

[crimson lotus]

yep i'm planning to, but i want to make a silver sword first and upgrade it, also abomination armor is good for plains yes?

[crimson lotus]

or should i just upgrade my current frostner?

[true steeple]

The root harnesk’s pierce resistance helps against deathsquitos and spear fulings, but you’ll need to be very careful around fuling shamans or use the wet debuff to cancel the fire weakness

[tired root]

The Harnesk itself gives you pierce resistance, making spear throwers and Deathsquitos less threat, but fire damage hurt you more due to fire weakness of any Root armor piece.

[tired root]

That depends, what are your Clubs and Swords skill levels?

[crimson lotus]

what about fire resistance potion?

[true steeple]

That works but you can’t make it until after fighting a few shamans

[crimson lotus]

clubs 40, sword 0, planning to use sword cuz i heard it was the Best in slot

[tired root]

It nullifies the weakness and grants you resistance.

[frosty frost]

You can if you are lucky or very carefull 😄

[tired root]

Having Wet debuff also grants Fire resistance before you get the ingredients for Fire res wine.

Shamans are easy to deal afar with ranged weapons.

[frosty frost]

Also that^

There one of the few enemies that make me think about equipping my bow

[crimson lotus]

aight, will take note of that, but i'm currently getting irons for my stone oven, i need food upgrade

[tired root]

Best is subjective IMO. Frostner is much better after Mountain and suits well as your weapon against Yagluth.

[true steeple]

High knockback and slowing makes it a useful tool for keeping enemies away

[tired root]

Silver Sword surely has more damage thanks to its high Spirit damage that hurts Yagluth too, but Frost effect also affects to his movements a bit.

Hi, I have a problem related to updates, in my world, when I update the game, the locations aren't where they are supposed to, for example, if I use the same seed but in a new world, the swamp whitch spawns where she should, but in my main world, created before mistlands, I cant find her even if the location I'm visiting wasn't explored when I first loaded the whitch update. Someone helping??

[tired root]

World gen changes locations of POIs after a content update is downloaded and the world is generated to add the new content.

[frail cave]

upload the world directly to the site to get more accurate results

worldgen adapts to worlds that are already partially generated, incidentally shuffling everything around

[crimson lotus]

yeah, frost is fun to use for me, i just thought i needed the best weapon based on suggestion for me to beat yag easily or less risk of dying

[tired root]

And if your world is created before Mistlands update your world also has the old world gen with less Mistlands areas on your world. The world gen was changed after the patch so new worlds create larger Mistlands areas that mostly replace the Swamps in outer areas.

[tired root]

Frostner is good enough. Bosses don't get knocked back so you can keep hitting them with your 3 hit combos.

[lone rose]

But, I actually dont have any problem with the biome generation, the map is as it's supposed to except for some especial locations, like the merchant, hildir or the whitch

[frail cave]

yea that's what we're saying

[lone rose]

It happened to me before with Hildir, I tried to find her where the map generator toldl me but she wasn't there, and here we go again with the witch!

[frail cave]

when it updates your world, it's gonna come up with wildly different locations for everything because some of them already exist in places it didn't expect based on up-to-date worldgen rules, so it's gonna look different from a freshly generated world with the same seed

this is normal

[tired root]

After content patch the world generates all the content again to add the new content in your world, which changes the locations of most POIs.

[lone rose]

And how do I fix that?

[frail cave]

in the case of boss locations for example, simply check the same vegvisir again, it'll give the new location

hildir's map should do the same

[tired root]

There is no fix, it works like that.

[little trench]

ashfang or spinesnap in ashlands?

[frail cave]

if you want the web tool to give you accurate locations, you can upload your world files to the site directly (make sure to upload both the .fwl and .db)

[lone rose]

And now I am supposed to serch her by my own?

[frail cave]

and as a last resort, you can always use commands to find her

[tired root]

Yes, unless you use console commands.

[true steeple]

The ash fang can be crafted into a gemstone weapon

[frail cave]

find BogWitch_camp 10 marks all 10 possible locations (until you log out or use find again)

[copper raven]

its surprisingly easy to sneak in and steal a handfull of barley, then run like hell

[lone rose]

what is the name of the website?
