[true steeple]

Yes. And for other meads you can stack as many as you need.

[willow raft]

Exactly, only thing you need to care about is what potion of the stat you will use, the lingering or the "instant" one.

[zinc mirage]

Noted, I’ll have to brew some more

[willow raft]

Also get your mage the staff of protection at minimum, dead raiser isn't really needed in the fight against queen but it can help.
The staff of protection really helps with survivability.

[last osprey]

ooze bombs are great for killing adds and cost very little sta to use

also you can kite the queen and her adds in endless circles by running up and down the stairs if you need to regen hp or eitr.

[frigid linden]

I learned this the hard way a few days back.

8 metres is still good enough to dig out a basement without compromising the foundation of your build

Thankfully

[mystic sedge]

ive cleared like eight frost caves and killed at least a dozen cultists, are we sure the cultist trophy exists?

[chilly shadow]

It does indeed, just an unfoetunate stroke of bad luck

[mystic sedge]

do cultists respawn in frost caves

[green bolt]

i dont think so. then again i havent revisited any caves

but mobs in other dungeons dont respawn so chances are its unlikely

[tired root]

Generally correct, except Infested mines which can respawn some mobs inside.

[green bolt]

interesting, but i'd rather not go in there again 😄

[tired root]

The piles of Royal jelly also respawn to ensure it's not limited resource.

[frigid linden]

"Just farm seeker brood at night time" xP.

Though yes royal jelly is a compelling reason to revisit (for healing meads, not food, once you get to ashlands)

[tired root]

What I've noticed is that the broods and ticks has started to spawn only in Mistlands during night, they used to spawn in other biomes too with Seekers.

[mystic sedge]

speaking of meads, how long do they take to ferment ive been staring at this thing for like 20 minutes now

[frigid linden]

A couple of in game days lol

[tired root]

Around 1,5-2 ingame days

[mystic sedge]

😭 ok

[frigid linden]

You're supposed to do other things then come back

[mystic sedge]

i was expecting its like the smelter where it takes a hot sec then it finishes

[frigid linden]

Yeah, fermenting and farming are both longer time span things. You plant/put the mead in, do other things then come back later

[true steeple]

You can sleep at noon to skip maximum time

[mystic sedge]

whats the ideal way to slaughter the golems in the mountains i cannot parry their two handed overhead thing

[true steeple]

What shield and food are you using?

[mystic sedge]

iron buckler, sausages, eyescream and wolf jerky

[frigid linden]

The 2 headed overhang smash only gives them a short duration stagger too,

[true steeple]

I always parry -> iron mace secondary

[frigid linden]

I usually dodge those and parry the lighter 1 handed smack, which staggers them for a long, long time

Similar deal with the piercing damage variant, their thrust staggers them long when parried, sideways swipe is a short stagger

[mystic sedge]

alr

[tired root]

Also Root Harnesk against the pierce variants is valid option.

Only enemy that deals pierce in Mountains tho.

[mystic sedge]

are dogs supposed to take forever to tame

[frigid linden]

Same amount of time to tame as anything else assuming no mistakes. It does just take a while

[mystic sedge]

hes been inside the contraption for at least 15 ingame days now

[last osprey]

Cannot parry as in not enough block or cannot parry as in can't get the timing right?

[mystic sedge]

skill issue variant

[frigid linden]

You need to sit next to them while they're taming, have you done that?

Fed food?

[tired root]

30 mins when they are unalerted and have source of food and you are on the same area.

[mystic sedge]

ok i think hes being alerted to me walking around the base, gottcu

[willow raft]

About half an hour when the process starts.
First they need to be safe, no mobs they want to attack around, this includes you and they should have food.

[frigid linden]

I love the honesty lol

[tired root]

This time can be cut in half with one mead option.

[frigid linden]

Oh right, I should make thay mead before attempting to tame asksvin huh

[last osprey]

If you have trouble getting the timing right a tower shield lets you just block them. You'll only get in 1-2 attacks between blocks but as long as you're patient it's an easy tank & spank.

[willow raft]

Dig a hole lure them and let them be.
If you really want to kill them, bring a mace, dodge roll, smack, dodge roll, smack and rinse and repeat.
You can roll trough the overhead slam.

[last osprey]

alternatively trap them in a hole and pelt them with arrows

[tired root]

The mead lasts 10mins so you have to consume 2 for the shorter time to tame.

[mystic sedge]

alr

[frigid linden]

Noted

Though the base should make 6 still, right? Unless ids a different amount

[tired root]

Base always makes 6 meads except Berserkir which makes 3.

[last osprey]

yes. And if you just use one it still shaves 10 minutes off the time (basically it tames twice as fast as without the mead).

up to you if 5 less minutes is worth another mead, but they're not exactly difficult to farm the mats for

[frigid linden]

Yeah I got that it was twice as fast haha

It's not an issue, farming mats in this game generally isn't a problem, the ONLY exception is building materials which are pain until ashlands lol

[mystic sedge]

are fleshrippers fun

[willow raft]

Yes.

[tired root]

Well yes by maths it should take 20mins total with one mead that lasts 10mins and another 10mins without mead.

[frigid linden]

Everything else I feel like the cost of things vs mats put in, and how long it takes to get the mats, is perfect

[tired root]

They are quite fun, I just tested them in Ashlands yesterday evening.

[mystic sedge]

do they need upgrades or can i just use them at level 1

[last osprey]

I'd say so. Range is a little short but damage is good & the secondary has high stagger & knockback so you can kick enemies into pits and campfires.
Also they're cheap to craft and upgrade.

[tired root]

They are quite cheap to upgrade so I recommend upgrading for more damage and durability.

[last osprey]

also no movement penalty

[tired root]

That reminded me, we need more Fists weapons #JusticeForFists

[mystic sedge]

i have level 12 or something in fists since i just punch things when i get bored, so i might just make them then

does fenris armor work in the fire biome cause it says its resistant to fire, nowhere near up to its stage though

[full sand]

does someone want to start a world with me

[frigid linden]

Surprisingly fire isn't the predominant damage type in the ashlands. It comes up still naturally, but way more of the incoming damage is physical, and there are other sources of fire resist available too

[tired root]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[frigid linden]

Like there are 4 enemies in ashlands off the top of my head that do fire damage. 3 of them have limited spawning restrictions, the 4th one is not difficult to deal with

[mystic sedge]

how viable would flesh rippers be on Moder since thats my next boss

also is there a point to upgrading armor, it just gives +2 more defense

[willow raft]

Anything can work for bosses, might it be the best to use, no but why should that matter?

[mystic sedge]

i just assume punching the flying dragon wouldn't be great but alr

[willow raft]

That +2 might not look like much but it certainly does help.
Is it needed, no, bosses are designed to be doable in tier 1 gear from the corresponding biome.

[mystic sedge]

thx :D

[last osprey]

Note that "doable" does not mean "comfortably"

[willow raft]

There is a fly and a ground phase, pelt it with arrows while it is in the air, rip into it when it lands.

[frigid linden]

You can upgrade armor multiple times.

3 pieces being upgrades twice is +12 armor, which is looking a lot more sizeable.

The first few upgrades are usually cheaper than the cost of making the item too

[willow raft]

The better your gear, food, meads and preparation of the boss area the easier the fight will be but the longer it will take before you can fight it.

[frigid linden]

I don't think I've ever prepared a boss area

[true steeple]

I level ground around bonemass and make a terrain pillar for Moder but otherwise do nothing

[tired root]

Hoeing around the Bonemass altar has usually been my only type of preparing boss area.

[frigid linden]

The most I've done is build a portal close by so that I can return if something goes wrong

[true steeple]

I always make a portal near the boss, and for the elder I put it under his spawn

[frigid linden]

But I do that everywhere, not just for bosses lol

[tired root]

I also like to dig a safety hole under the Elder altar.

[quasi vault]

Sorry to come back to this but the wiki is definitely wrong on this so be careful with just killing the minibosses

[analog kiln]

Oh really? Interesting

[quasi vault]

Yeah it's either picking up the chest or just killing the miniboss that unlocks it because I am now getting the raids on this server with player based raids even if none of the chest has been brought back to hildir

At least I am getting decorations out of it but I am not geared up to deal with those raids at all in silver gear on hard, especially the plains one which I didn't get yet thankfully

[mystic sedge]

whats a recommended wall for taming wolves they keep chewing through my stakewall and breaking the contraption

[quasi vault]

digging a pit

[willow raft]

A hole in the ground, floor it up, lure wolves on it, destroy the floor, toss meat in, floor over it.
Sit tight.

[mystic sedge]

alr lol

[quasi vault]

Someone might want to fix the wiki on that, it's important to have the correct information on what unlocks raids because that can cause people some serious issues

[tired root]

Is it surely the killing or picking up the chest? Last I remember it indeed is when you return the chest to Hildir when they start to trigger.

Before Ashlands I played a new world and I had cleared all miniboss dungeons but I didn't return the chests and none of the events triggered for a long time until I returned them.

Or is it Player based raid/Raid frequency slider? Afaik the slider is broken when picking the hardest option.

[quasi vault]

Raids slider is at max

[tired root]

That might be the cause of problem I think.

[quasi vault]

If the requirement to unlock raids differ on difficulty it should be noted there

[last osprey]

Pretty sure some raids happening when they're not supposed to is a known bug. Or has that been fixed already?

[tired root]

I've read that it can cause some events without the right global keys trigger, like troll and surtling raids. And those who had that happening had the slider at max.

So currently it's bugged, normal and second hardest I have not encountered any problems with unexpected raids. I have not tried the max but many have reported about the problem with it.

[quasi vault]

None of us had any raids we weren't supposed to and we had probably hundreds of raids on this server

[last osprey]

Same. And i've had the sealed tower chest sitting in my base for ages and never got the raid for it.

[quasi vault]

If it was broken and we could get trolls before killing elder for exemple we would have gotten that raid at one point, raids are constants

Again, none of us had any unexpected raids up this this point

Also, only got that event only after I defeated the mountain miniboss and picked up the chest and it has not happened to anyone else because it's player based raids

Anyway, someone with developers commands could probably test it and figure it out. I am just reporting that just picking up the chest unlocked that event for me.

[tired root]

So you have both raid rate slider at max and player based raids enabled?

[quasi vault]

Not 100% if it's more or much more for raids but player based raids is enabled

[tired root]

Interesting. I might even try by myself in world with most raid rate with commands what I find out.

[quasi vault]

Might just be a thing with player based raids, it would make sense to have a way (just picking the chest) to unlock those raids for the player without affecting others

[tired root]

I have never had that enabled and thus I've never had the Hildir raids happening until returning the chests.

[placid robin]

Does the krom use the sword skill or is there a new one for the krom?

[frosty frost]

It uses sword skill 🙂

[tranquil lion]

Does sheathing equipment remove the movement speed penalty or do you have to unequip it?

[placid robin]

Thank you

[frosty frost]

It does remove the penalty 🙂

[tranquil lion]

Dope thanks. Wasnt sure if it was placebo or not

[frail cave]

do keep in mind that sheathing/unsheathing with R is slower than unequipping/equipping gear as long as it's not a 1h weapon and a shield
and also equipping/unequipping a hammer is instant without any slowdown so i always unequip stuff by hitting the hammer slot twice

[tough drum]

Moving my question here:
How do people on Xbox type text into a sign/portal? I can't seem to while on PC using a controller.
or I'm dumb and it's simple, of course.

[heavy locust]

what do i need to tame and breed them?

[true steeple]

You can’t, but now no more stone golems will spawn in the area

[little trench]

lmao

[tranquil lion]

Any recommendations on weapons to craft after getting iron?

I was planning on just crafting up all the utility gear for now as well as a sword and bow but did notice atgeir is 10 more damage

[willow raft]

A mace and a knife are my go to weapons.

[stoic trench]

I’m a sword guy, iron sword is reliable

[tranquil lion]

Any reasons why? I looked through all the enemy types in swamp and biomes and couldnt really find a reason not to just go with slash damage

[stoic trench]

But for the 3rd boss, iron mace is kinda king

[tranquil lion]

i forgot about boss yeah

[stoic trench]

I just make both usually

[tranquil lion]

Ill have to look at that

[quasi vault]

One boss fight, for whom you can just craft a wooden club and kill it very effectively, shouldn't really impact what weapon you start using and leveling

[tired root]

Use him later as elemental magic skill training dummy.

[tranquil lion]

hmmm now that im loking is there even an iron knife? Or have i just not unlocked the materials for it :/

[quasi vault]

If you want to use knife just try to find leviathans and get the abyssal razor to be honest

[willow raft]

My bad it is the abyssal razor, I make it during the iron stage or right before.

[little trench]

atgeir is the most broken melee weap type in the game. craft iron atgeir

[tranquil lion]

I sailed for quite a while and didnt find a single one of those sea turtles or whatever the heck they are. In my first world there were 2 immediately near my spawn island

Ill have to look around some more i guess

[quasi vault]

I recommended doing that while you look for the traders, you have a very high chance to find them if you sail around the map at around 40% of the distance from spawn and go near the biomes where they can spawn in and you should find them pretty fast and also find more than enough chitin

[tranquil lion]

Ive found Hildr and Haldor so far anyone else?

[subtle parrot]

Bog witch

She'll be in a swamp

[analog kiln]

I apologize for that I hope nothing got wrecked

[quasi vault]

Well me and they took a big dent on the lox army both times

[last osprey]

iron mace is also the last pure blunt 1handed weapon until Ashlands. And great vs stone golems too on top of basically anything in the swamp except abominations.
iron sword on the other hand is going to be a very expensive wall piece the moment you craft a silver sword and doesn't offer any advantage until you get there.

[quasi vault]

So the raids are not maxed it's just on more (the default on hard)

[quasi vault]

I personally use neither but my point is, if you want to have a main weapon, you should use it as much as you can to get it higher level so you are more effective later on instead of a weapon type you won't use later. And honestly even if you replace it, it doesn't matter since it means the strength of that weapon will remains relevant

[analog kiln]

Why are my bees suddnely insanely picky about where they are placed

they were working fine for days and now suddnly want more open space and anywhere I place them I cant get more than 1 or 2 down before they get upset

[quasi vault]

Never upset the bees

[subtle parrot]

Is there a roof overhanging above there?

[analog kiln]

To the right theres a roof over the stairs but not any further left

[subtle parrot]

It's probably just slightly too close to the wall then

[analog kiln]

Whats funny is that this works

being placed on the wall is fine, but being placed on the floor next to that wall isnt

Probably something due to clipping

but still its funny to me lol

[frosty frost]

The ground is dirty 😄 they dont like that

[subtle parrot]

That's pretty weird lol I had mine on wood beams on the ground and there was a tree just slightly going over one depending on the breeze, so it was getting interrupted every time the tree branches were over it but the rest of the time it was fine

[willow jungle]

Question about the third trader: ||Does Forsaken power from Bonemass (Resistant buff) cancels out the Berserkir mead Weak debuff, so you end up with Attack, Block and Dodge stamina usage -80% from this potion?||

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[frosty frost]

I believe so, yes

[quasi vault]

@analog kiln Imagine spikes going out from the beehives in all direction. There's a threshold of spikes you need for them to be happy. Them being above ground will help since you can fit more spikes downwards that would have otherwise hit the ground

[frail cave]

||since resistances don't stack, the power not only cancels them out but replaces them, you stay resistant to all 3||

[willow jungle]

@frosty frost @subtle parrot @frail cave Thanks! Follow up question: ||Does the Berserkir mead expire in 5 or 10 minutes? If it's 10 minutes, how would you handle the 5 minute difference when the Bonemass Power Up has expired, when you are still fighting, let's say a Goblin Village in the Plains?||

[quasi vault]

It last 20 seconds

[frosty frost]

It has quite short duration iirc
Edit: see above xD

[willow jungle]

Oh xD

Do you get a cooldown after, or you can use it again after the 20 seconds?

[true steeple]

You can reuse it immediately

[subtle parrot]

No cooldown iirc

[willow jungle]

Nice, thanks for you guys's fast replies! 😄

[loud linden]

That's interesting. I got into the habit of putting hives on the roof, but this might be even better.

[mellow lodge]

i put hives basically popping up from a raised walkway, with just the tops poking out. so i walk over them all clicking and collecting

[mild yew]

does someone know why my furnaces are glitched? Like when i put there wood to make coal they just dont show any fire and when i went to sleep and woke up there was still 7/25 wood

[mild yew]

is it a glitch or i need to fix something

[loud linden]

Not sure the problem, but try destroying them and crafting them again. It often works.

[analog kiln]

I had this issue and it was only fixed by relogging

I wasnt actually able to break it, it was like it stopped existing entirely

[frosty frost]

Do you have roof above them?

[analog kiln]

besides eating my wood

[loud linden]

Roof hives are pretty close together, too.

[deep remnant]

hello there! - where can i find infos on how to set up a valheim server? (with mods on, preferably R2ModManager) ? - any suggestions?

[frosty frost]

Probably in #dedicated-server or #mods-discussion for the mods 🙂

[subtle parrot]

Do you have a roof over it or something

[analog kiln]

Alright to all of the people who told me not to go to mistlands without killing yagluth I now understand why lol

my first fight with a seeker and that was some spoopy crap

[subtle parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/spoopy-spooky-halloween-gif-14092772

[analog kiln]

The only upside is that I do have a mod that shows everything around me so I atleast was aware what I was running into

Time to try to continue progressing without going insane in this place

[loud linden]

Entering Mistlands, you just turned Valheim into Aliens with your mod 😛

[analog kiln]

Trying to figure out what this is lol

nvm found out

The Dvergr Mushroom Jotunpuffs are one of the best punk bands in all of Velheim!

[stoic trench]

That’s typically why we try to encourage modded screenshots to go in their proper channels 😅

[analog kiln]

My apologies

[loud linden]

What about punked and gothed screenshots?

[mild yew]

what is better silver sword or crystal battleaxe

[echo sparrow]

depends upon what you're hitting

and to an extent, the playstyle you prefer (sword allows a shield and parrying, battleaxes tho very fun)

[mild yew]

okay thank you

what does the ghost damage mean on the silver sword (i think its ghost beacuse i am from polish and it is translated different)

[echo sparrow]

both crystal battle axe and silver sword (most things silver/silver adjacent) have 'spirit' or as you delightfully put it "ghost" damage--this is just extra damage that only "undead" (just certain kinds of mobs flagged "undead") take

[mild yew]

thx

[echo sparrow]

NP

[true steeple]

Werewolves and bats are also vunerable to spirit damage

[echo sparrow]

oh i didn't know bats--ya blobs too (I think)), which might not be immediately obviously "undead"

[willow jungle]

Also the other wolf types in the Moutain (Caves)?

[true steeple]

Yes, by werewolves I mean fenrings, cultists and ulvs

[loud linden]

You're comparing 1-hander to 2-hander. 'Better' is so vague, it's meaningless.

TTA's answer is great, they're just not the same playstyle.

[analog kiln]

On a scale from 1 to Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad how bad of an idea is building a base ontop of the stone things in the mistlands

Where the shoots spawn*

[loud linden]

I've built a base at the top of the obelisks in the plains, but not in Mistlands. There might be an advantage if you can build above the mist, but otherwise, I'd suggest not adding that kind of stress to your life.

[analog kiln]

Yeah I'm mostly above the mist

I'm mainly looking for a little farming outposty area

[loud linden]

You can't farm air.

[analog kiln]

I couldnt farm here?

Damn you're right

[loud linden]

That's what us mortals call "ground".

[analog kiln]

It says it cant be cultivated sadly

[loud linden]

Yeh, there's two types of land in Mistlands... nobody learns that the easy way.

[analog kiln]

Sadge

I wonder if you could raise that ground all the way to above the mist kekw

[loud linden]

It's a fun hypothesis. Test it and link us your published paper.

[analog kiln]

All I can say for sure is it would cost a stupid amount of stone

Oh cool

found some cultivatable land above the mist 😄

[subtle parrot]

I think if you terraform the plantable land in mistlands it loses the ability to become cultivated, but it's been a while since I tried so that might just be wrong lol

[mellow lodge]

if it's possible to cultivate, it doesn't lose it

however, you can't create new farmable land by doing something like "raising earth that's under the water"

for example, i've leveled my mistlands farm, which included minor teraforming

if it's not already green and grassy, you're out of luck.

[loud linden]

This. And it flows through to ashlands. You can't raise land in ashlands to negate lava.

[subtle parrot]

Yeh i just tested it, seems that way

[willow jungle]

@frail cave how much deeper/wider do you need to dig for this?

[frail cave]

have you broken another fragment since excavating it like this?

[willow jungle]

No, I tried it after

So first I dug this entire pit, then tried 2-3 times mining the rock

[frail cave]

that part looks a lil close

[pearl vigil]

Where could I find world backups? I have accidentally dumped all my silver ore in the water with no possibility of getting it out

[willow jungle]

THat is this corner

[pearl vigil]

I'm playing on linux with the help of proton to run through steam by the way

[frail cave]

weird

[willow jungle]

Yeah, I was so sure I had dug enough this time, but nvm 😂
I have an automatic Greydwarf farm anyways, so I don't have to mine stone this way, was just curious how it would look when the whole thing collapses

[frail cave]

never seen one of these be so much trouble, i don't even dig pits under them 😅

[strong geyser]

just got the ashlands for first time

so i put down a portal and went to my base and the portal is down. does it take damage even way away at a different base?

[loud linden]

I can't say for sure, but I feel like Ashlands enemies are less inclined to beat on your base in your absence.

[subtle parrot]

It's a different instance, there's nothing happening when you leave an area, but if it caught fire from ash rain it may have become destroyed when you were passing through it

[strong geyser]

hmm ok thanks

[echo sparrow]

also, I'm PRETTY sure portals are one of those things--if you're close enough to have the area loaded--that mobs WILL target without you having to aggro them first, in addition to the possibility of the Ashlands passive environmental damage causing it to break; basically to keep portals safe build small houses of stone or grausten to house them (both to shield them from LoS of mobs and also to shield them from ash rain)

you can also protect from ash rain with a shield generator but I don't think should be necessary as pretty sure stone/grausten (I'd guess black marble too, not sure) don't take ash rain damage, and protect anything under them from it

[last osprey]

black marble is immune to elemental damage so yes

Though shield generators also block marksman arrows and twitcher rocks while not blocking your own projectiles from the inside so they're still worth building imo. Have them just cover your walls and you can rain destruction on any enemies outside with impunity.

[echo sparrow]

definitely, I save shield gen resources for the 'big' bases, it's nice to not need them, but they for sure are still useful

[strong geyser]

can portal be damage off site? like if i return to my og base

[echo sparrow]

if you're far enough away from a zone it unloads and everything is basically frozen 'as is' as of the time it unloads

i think some things, based upon how it seems in game, 'keep track' of the time and will update based upon that when you get close enough to load the area again--for example, I've noticed that if I go to a farm outpots miles and miles away by portal, replant the field, leave, then come back after a while by portal, all the crops will still be in the 'just planted' state, but after a few moments pass after stepping out of the portal, it will all "pop" all at once to the latest stage of growth ready for harvest

[quasi vault]

It can be damaged for the following few seconds after entering the portal, so never enter one if many mobs are chasing you and that portal will always be fine

[echo sparrow]

as if all the time I had been away, passed (or rather, it was suddenly "remembering" all the time had passed and updating accordingly all at once)

[strong geyser]

damn, it must have gotten destroyed right when i portaled back

[echo sparrow]

the scenario @quasi vault describes TENDS to be in my experience the MAIN context I've noticed portals "mysteriously" breaking in

[willow jungle]

I just did the same with SIlver Veins, actually two Veins into each other and it worked. So idk whats wrong with me doing it in the Plains. At least its not the server I am playing on 😂

[real nebula]

The 'hitbox' of silver veins is much tighter compared to other rocks, it's always been the most reliable to collapse

At the point that you're showing I'd just keep mining at the actual rock itself until it updates and collapses

[quasi vault]

It's also pretty much flat so you are easily able to dig underneath it unlike copper where it will never happen and is just a huge waste of time

[quartz flame]

anyone know if the different building pieces have different damage resistance?

[steep tusk]

Yes, they do.

[mystic sedge]

ok i made a pit how do i toss dogs into it

[golden veldt]

how do you make a wisp torch? i have ygdrasil wood and wisps, do i need anything else? i cant see where to craft it

[steep tusk]

You build them. You don't craft them.

[golden veldt]

ah, i see them now, thanks so much!

[wheat sedge]

what item do i need to build stone walls?

[true steeple]

You need a stonecutter which requires killing the second boss

[wheat sedge]

tyy

[noble vault]

Curiously, what works best for woodcutting? Black metal axe, jotun bane, or berserkir axes + variants?

[true steeple]

It would be jotun bane or berserkir axes. The berserkir axes have 10 more chop damage, but I’m not sure if they attack fast enough since trees cancel combos.

The wiki doesn’t show attack speed for them

[tired root]

They feel a bit faster, but they lack the overhead hit for removing stumps.

[true steeple]

That’s ok, use a pickaxe

[restive sedge]

Hey, i have a question for you guys

[ripe bone]

correct

[restive sedge]

Can i play in a community server if i have the xbox store version of the game?

i am not playing with the game-pass, i pay the game

when i look to the window of "community servers", I have no 1 to join

and when i try to join some server having the IP, it doesnt work

[bleak willow]

This map has been really rough and I've been trying to make it work. I'm 60 hours in and I just beat bonemass(the one in the western center of the map). I'm thinking I should head east for that cluster of bosses and stuff but I dunno. I'm thinking about just starting with a better seed where things are closer together.

[chilly shadow]

They have to have cross-play enabled, if you're playing from Xbox they can't have any mods active on server, and your best bet for a "community" server would be looking in #1024264966712340510

[restive sedge]

Im playing in Pc, not the xbox console

just the game in the xbox store

[lilac coyote]

So you need crossplay.

[chilly shadow]

And I'm fairly sure it's still incompatible with mods if it's through the store

[restive sedge]

so basically, i need the steam version, right?

[chilly shadow]

If you want mods, yes.

If you want to play with people, no.

[restive sedge]

no, i only want to play with random guys in a public server, but any of the servers are working for me, they are all "avaliable", but i dont get to connect

that because that servers are not crossplay on?

[lilac coyote]

There are no public servers. You're better off looking at #1024264966712340510 with the Crossplay tag enabled.

[restive sedge]

okay thanks

[bleak willow]

do i have to be a certain distance away from spawn for 2 star tameable animals to appear? like boar?

[chilly shadow]

Yes

The further you are from world center the higher their spawn chances iirc

[lilac coyote]

Well, no. The chances are the same once you've reached the right radius.

[chilly shadow]

Glad I said iirc then, cuz clearly I did not. 😂

[formal escarp]

Anyone got a tip for me i just died in the snow my loot is the skull on the right side i dont have frost resistance potions there is a ongoing wolf raid on top of the mountian and i dont have any gear besides 1 iron mace lvl 1 1 max lvl elderwood bow and max troll armor

[acoustic rivet]

Want a hand recovering your stuff?

[formal escarp]

nah its my solo world and it would just kinda feel like cheating yk

[acoustic rivet]

That's fair

[formal escarp]

the idea i did come up with is to simply make a lox cape a metric shit ton of arrows use a hoe to build myself up and than kill them all with the bow

[acoustic rivet]

Yep

[formal escarp]

and if that does not work

than im fucked

[acoustic rivet]

Take portal stuff, create a ground tower to place it on, and try from there

[formal escarp]

that wont do it would take to mutch stone to build like a giant wall to walk on

just gotta leave it to luck ig

[acoustic rivet]

Mn not a giant walk

[vernal patrol]

What's the default autosave timer? Is it every 30 mins?

[acoustic rivet]

Yes

[acoustic rivet]

You can definitely try to leave it to luck. But it might end up taking longer than cheesing your way lol

[formal escarp]

yeah

i will just hope for the best

[acoustic rivet]

Then again I'm someone to over prepare.

[formal escarp]

do raids disapear when you die and get out of the zone btw

[acoustic rivet]

No I don't think so

[formal escarp]

bc i was fighting this golem yk and when it was close to death the wolf raid happend

[acoustic rivet]

Oof

[gritty warren]

Raids don’t disappear from a zone unless you wait inside for the timer to finish, if there was another raid that begun while you were outside the old one, it’d disappear.

[formal escarp]

i see that could also work but idk if i can fight off a raid with my current stuff

[acoustic rivet]

Which is why you might be better off sort of sneaking your way to it

A straight column 6 high on flat ground is safe from wolves. So having 48 stone gives you enough room for a crafting bench and a portal the doggies can't reach. Alternatively lots of stamina (rested+eikthydeer), get the wolves to follow, and either lead them away or try to recover your stuff. You can usually outrun them.

[mystic sedge]

can you parry the shaman's poison spray

[ripe bone]

no

[wet apex]

this chiken is not moving, and more of em arent, but these ones just doesnt go at all, especially 'wontleave'

[full talon]

Best way to get leather scraps?

[wet apex]

boar farm

[junior ingot]

pigs, swamp crypts and bats

[full talon]

yes but how? i just started soo

[wet apex]

you first need to tame 2 by giving them food like carrots

then you can breed them, also with carrots (there's more but carrots is the easiest if u just started)

u can alteratively also use berries but those take a bit to gather lots of em

[last osprey]

1. build a pen with a gate. Leave the gate open.
2. find two boars (if they have stars even better, but it's not strictly necessary)
3. aggro them and lead them into the pen, close gate and jump out
4. throw in raspberries or mushrooms (6-8 should be enough)
5. wait 30 minutes
6. profit

You need to be close by for taming to progress but they can't be aggroed on you, so stay behind a wall or sneaking to avoid that.

also no fire since boars are scared of fire

[steep tusk]

1. Find lore stone with boars around it.
2. Build fence around stone without ever aggroing boars.
3. Throw food inside fenced area without ever aggroing boars.
4. Wait for tame.

[solar cave]

Do i have to break the battering ram to bring it to a next fortress?

[steep tusk]

If you don't feel like walking it all the way over there, yes.

[sonic summit]

what are the things i need to craft with iron first before weapons and other stuff

[frosty frost]

Craft nails and i would say upgrades to workstations

[lunar cedar]

I'd go for armor/weapons first

[frosty frost]

also stonecutter and preptable would probably be nice

[frosty frost]

100% nails first, that way you can get way more iron home faster

[true steeple]

Make the stonecutter first to make a sharpening stone, after that you can get your iron back if you want to and keep the forge improvement.

[lunar cedar]

I wonder how big is the first batch

usually you can get the 10 iron for the nails and still do something else

to get you grooving through swamps

[lunar cedar]

I always forget the sharpening stone exists, such a cheap upgrade too

[sonic summit]

Thanks for all the info got one more question tho is there anything wrog or negative with making a main base in blackforest

[snow vault]

how can a friend join my world without using steam invites ?

[sonic summit]

is your friend on xbox

[snow vault]

hes on steam and im on mac ( downloaded through the app store )

[sonic summit]

are you the hoster

[snow vault]

yes

[sonic summit]

when you are in game theres a code at the top when you click esc

[snow vault]

it changes every time i rejoin tho

[sonic summit]

your friend will go to play and online and put the code

[sonic summit]

yes when he does it 1 time the server will be saved at him

so you dont need to invite him or tell the code each time

[snow vault]

alright

thks

[sonic summit]

np

[last osprey]

Not really. There aren't any particular advantages over the meadows but no real disadvantages either unless you count a single lategame raid that spawns in one but not the other.

You can build a base pretty much anywhere that strikes your fancy without too much cost. The only one i'd consider non-negotiable is ocean access but YMMV on that.

[steep tusk]

Plains bases ftw!

[last osprey]

I prefer Mistlands. Plants grow whether you're there or not so no reason to do my farming at my main base imo.

[somber snow]

Any tips to reduce game lag im on xbox series x and whenever I’m around the village me and my friends made my game lags sometimes although there aren’t a lot of big builds I was wondering what else it could be

[little trench]

negative is wandering greydwarves, but also a positive since u need their eyes

[steep tusk]

The most accurate tip is "build less stuff."

[somber snow]

How about palisades we have a lot of them

And does terraforming cause lag

[steep tusk]

Those are stuff that is built.

[last osprey]

the game lags because of lots of instances (stuff) in the same area, doesn't matter if it's one big build or a lot of small ones.

Also light effects cause lots of lag if you have a lot of them

[little trench]

u base in mistlands? i just imagine the pain of dealing with gjalls

[steep tusk]

Lights are the most lag-causing instances you can build.

[last osprey]

Free bile bags basically. A black marble base makes gjall a non-issue since it's immune to fire damage. They still do some blunt but no pickaxe or chop damage so it's barely scratching the marble. Add some ballista and they die before you get out of the house after a raid starts.

[little trench]

what about chests that are on the other side of the marble wall tho

id imagine the splash would take em out

[last osprey]

either leave some distance or double-wall it. The aoe isn't that big.

and it's not like you're constantly being sieged by gjall hordes. They're pretty rare if you don't build right next to a gjall spawn.

[little trench]

aight

[true steeple]

Like almost all enemies, gjalls don't have set spawn points

[last osprey]

They don't but they tend to (re)spawn in the same areas and not in others.

day spawns at least, no idea about night

[true steeple]

Night spawns work in the same way, but with a chance for stars

[sonic summit]

Thanks for all the help I dont think i will have any problems accesing the sea here haha

[undone snow]

How do you get bosses to despawn? I have died at least 7 times trying to get my stuff back from the elder, and I can't because the elder keeps killing me. Also another elder spawned even though I did not spawn it and idk what is even going on now.

[stoic trench]

They don’t despawn naturally, they must be defeated.

[undone snow]

So i guess now I have to kill 2 elders

[stoic trench]

Not sure how a second one came to be, that doesn’t normally happen. Maybe you summoned two by mistake? Any mods?

Best advice I can give is to just run in and out as fast as you can. Make sure you have good food.

[subtle parrot]

Or find a second elder location

[stoic trench]

That’s a good idea too

[undone snow]

No I think one of them went somewhere so their health bar did not show up, and I thought it despawned so I spawned a second one

[sonic summit]

what happens if i summon a boss and kill the boss from another altar does the first boss still remain?

[true steeple]

Yes. You can even have multiple bosses spawned from the same altar at the same time

[sonic summit]

well i gotta kill that one later lol

[snow vault]

where do i find copper ??

[true steeple]

You find it in black forest biomes

[snow vault]

what does it look like

[true steeple]

A big rock with small pieces of copper ore visible. When you aim at it, text appears to let you know it's copper.
I'm getting a screenshot now...

[tired root]

Green tint on a big rock.

[true steeple]

It's in water because I spawned it with commands to save time

[drifting marsh]

just wondering is this supposed to be fun?

[ripe bone]

bonemass > yagluth

[snow vault]

why cant my friend join my server, i pressed start server and gave him the code

[snow vault]

alr thks

[frosty frost]

The boss power yes, the boss itself no

[ripe bone]

oh definitely bonemass is such a boring boss concept lul

[hollow walrus]

Hi, random question, has anyone hyad any issues collecting an acorn lately? smashed 7 oaks and not a single acorn (no resin or feathers either, just wood (normal & fine)....)

[green bolt]

just another night in the mistlands. they made nights dangerous on purpose.

[acoustic rivet]

Sounds like bad luck tbh. I've had two tress drop six and then six trees drop nothing

[hollow walrus]

yup, 10th tree dropped 7 🤪

[frosty frost]

RNGeezus strikes again 😄

[acoustic rivet]

Yep

[drifting marsh]

so are the days playable?

[green bolt]

much more than the nights yes

[grand elbow]

Hello - all Hotkeys from Mods do now not Work - is ther a Way to fix it? All Modders say its a Vanilla Problem not a Mod Problem but that dosnt helps me

Is ther a Way to bind ingame the using of an item on a hotkey ?

[vapid warren]

you can put it on action bar

[true steeple]

Change your power to bonemass. Yagluth’s power doesn’t stack with resistances from capes and mead so it’s a bit useless.

Eikthyr is good too

[gritty warren]

this is also unlucky

I've never had that much attacking me

[true steeple]

At night?

[gritty warren]

well I've never really stuck around for nightime because ik I'd be in for a big suprise each time

[drifting marsh]

thank you, should i use a better came to stack resistances?

[true steeple]

Cape?

[drifting marsh]

yea

[buoyant peak]

Resistances don't stack in general

[true steeple]

The only resistance that can stack is the serpent scale shield’s pierce resistance together with root harnesk or bonemass because it’s applied in blocking instead of damage reduction

[snow vault]

how long for the bees to produce honey ?

[dapper hamlet]

I think it's every 15-20 minutes

[snow vault]

k thks

[wanton cove]

Howdy
We runnin on my wife's computer, she is wifi, i am cabled in

We run through r2ModMan, things were fine before bog witch, before ashlands, but,

Nowadays I get intolerable lag if I am trying to do anything in the same part of the map as she is in;

• Can't harvest food I put to cook before it chars to coal
• Sometimes can't even see mobs hitting me, but she's hitting them

Crafting/repairing/chests are fine

Things work fine if I run off on my own, but of course that won't work nice against bosses

[tranquil lion]

Are the bosses meant to have such huge HP pools? I just did bonemass and it felt like such a slog with a fully upgraded iron mace

Elder was the same

[true steeple]

How long did it actually take to kill him? It doesn’t seem that long to me

[tranquil lion]

Pretty long idk i didnt time it. I had to go back and solo cus i tried him with a friend who doesnt play video games too much and the increased health pool was ridiculous when im the only one really chipping away

mostly just boring since its

1. Run up
2. Parry melee
3. Take 6 hits
4. Run away from barf
5. Wait to exit barf poison
   Repeat

[lilac coyote]

And you don't have poison resist because...?

[tranquil lion]

Does poison resist negate damage completely or just reduce it?

I had it but I still didnt wanna get poisoned if i didnt need to lol

[true steeple]

It reduces the base damage by 75% and because of how armor works the total damage will be even less

[ripe bone]

resistance, not immunity, and resistance is not something that is negligible, especially if you're struggling against the damage type..

[tranquil lion]

I mean I guess being able to sit in the poison would make it go marginally faster

[true steeple]

You don’t need to parry bosses because they can’t be staggered. This won’t have made the fight much faster, just something that will help for later fights.

[ripe bone]

but its still fun to parry so yeah.

[tranquil lion]

I parry cus i have the buckler, I guess i could also dodge. Idk which takes less stamina

[true steeple]

Rolling costs less stamina, the only advantage to parrying is that you can attack slightly faster afterwards

There’s no buckler in mountains so you’ll have a normal shield, so you’ll be able to block the next boss

[tranquil lion]

Ok I went back in and took my friends iron set that he had + ignoring the poison clouds and having the rested buff (think i forgot this when i solo'd him).

Its not nearly as bad as i thought when you can just ignore the poison

[silk fable]

I have a dedicated server and i want to remove all wards in an area, si there a way to do this without mods?

[true steeple]

How many wards? Could you just use a weapon?
You can’t use commands on a dedicated server, so you’d otherwise need mods.

[silk fable]

I was hoping this particular thing would be available to admin

i was hoping for a command that would allow me to just delete allw ards in a radius of X distance

[true steeple]

forcedelete 50(or any radius below that) guard_stone would work on a locally hosted world

[silk fable]

i suppose i could copy the world locally while nobody is on and do what i need and then put it back

[opal girder]

are items supposed to despawn?

[frail cave]

after 2 in-game days (60 irl minutes) as long as they're not within 20 meters of a "player base" structure like a workbench, torch, bed, portal, etc. or if they're below 2+ meters of water, where player base protection stops working

the timer actually still ticks down while it's protected by player base - if you throw something out next to a workbench, wait 2+ days and then destroy the workbench, it'll despawn very shortly after

[silk fable]

forcedetele 30 guard_stone
This command is not working

[true steeple]

What happens when you try? Are you on the dedicated server or running the world locally?

[silk fable]

im running it locally

I do have a friend on locally, tho?

that was it, he logged and its working now

[lilac coyote]

There's no reason that should have made a difference.

[storm vigil]

Um... bit of an urgent question

We... died and, short story, used the "restore backup" feature, but.... where are our tombstones?????

[tranquil lion]

Are 2x1 stone walls okay for exterior base defense? I wanted to go like two high then put down some wooden planks for a walkway

I put down stake walls initially but then realized i had stone so figured why not

[stoic trench]

Definitely! Just really expensive. You’ll need more stone that you think lol

[tranquil lion]

Its fine mostly im just doing one side cus the others are kinda on a hill so ill do stake walls on that one. And the other two sides are mostly against the ocean

Id like to find somewhere else to build though cus this area has been heavily altered and Im thinking it might contribute a bit to load on my card lol

[hollow mantle]

You will need to defend the ocean side. Mobs can swim.

[tranquil lion]

Its in the meadows... whats gonna attack me? And plus besides my dock its mostly on a cliff face prolly 4-6 meters tall. Im not concerned

[ripe bone]

a raid.

[wanton cove]

What are people's go-to fixes for Lag? Unplayable lag when occupying the same map chunks

[zinc mirage]

can you drink a health pot and a poison resist pot at the same time?

[formal escarp]

If i want to beat Moder if a Max Lvl Iron Mace and Drauger Fang Good Enough i got normal fight difficulty and i dont rly feel like making a iron sword to max lvl if i could make a max lvl black iron sword right after it + my sword skill is lvl 0

[frail cave]

yes

[frail cave]

why sword at all, she's neutral to both blunt and slash, swords don't have an advantage (by which i mean yes that's a good setup)

[formal escarp]

i see never did moder but i saw people always use sword

also max root armor good enough

[frail cave]

could be rough defensively but high max health can balance that out

[pallid geode]

where the hell on earth are all the dam deer

can hear them buts its been an hour ffs

[ripe bone]

over there

[green bolt]

deer are usually found in both meadows and black forests, i recommend searching in areas that arent drowning in trees since a) you dont see them and b) they will notice you before you get sight on them and run away

[compact heath]

Deerborn Michigan USA? Nah to be honest I'd just eat 3 stamina foods, wear light armour and run around big meadows for ages until you got enough of them! also level your running skill while doing it!

[weary trench]

How to set Russian language on a dedicated server? The default language is English. I just use a plugin to send messages about in-game events to Discord, and the event names come to me in English.

[tropic granite]

I can't help you but I can say these phrases are absolutely goyda-ed

[lilac coyote]

What?

[tropic granite]

Nevermind

[weary trench]

ахахаххаха

[noble vault]

Is it normal for tamed asksvin to be attacked by wild asksvin, and not fight back? I'm a little annoyed that none of the guides I've read say anything about that. I already lost Gerald. And Gerald 2 was close, too.

[true steeple]

I have a regular and tamed asksvin next to each other now and they aren't fighting

[frosty frost]

No, even when tamed, cratures of the same species should not fight

[true steeple]

If they accidentally hit each other they will deal damage because some asksvin attacks have friendly fire

[noble vault]

the hell, man

[true steeple]

So nothing unexpected there

[noble vault]

Gerald 3, the uninvited, was specifically aiming towards Gerald 2, and biting him.

It was brutal, calculated even.

[little trench]

any clever ways to deal with stone golems on vh?

[frosty frost]

Catch them in hole so no others spawn

[little trench]

ya tbh gonna have to do that, way too deadly and slow to kill them w pickaxe

[frosty frost]

Then why are you using it?

[true steeple]

Iron mace is better than a pickaxe

[little trench]

because they are very weak to it

[true steeple]

Even with the weakness it doesn't do enough damage

And the attack animation lasts too long so you can't dodge anything

[little trench]

anyway i dont craft maces until frostner because can just avoid stone golems 99% of the time

[quasi vault]

Doesn't even have to be an iron mace, any weapon will do more damage to golems than a pickaxe

[frosty frost]

Well you might want to start making them since you were so keen to learn what is "meta" not too long ago 😄

[little trench]

so for example: iron mace 30 dmg, iron pickaxe 50 dmg

[little trench]

nah its fine ill just trap it

[quasi vault]

doesn't matter you can do a 3 hits combo with the mace and do 120 damage in the time it takes to take 1 swing with a pickaxe doing 50

[little trench]

no time to do 3 hits

[true steeple]

There is definitely enough time for three hits occasionaly
And almost always two

[frosty frost]

Tiny bit of exaggeration, however you can do basically 2 mace swings for 1 pick swing + the 3rd one will do 2x dmg

[quasi vault]

It's the same in practice because you could never do a second pickaxe swing before another attack or you are dead

[frail cave]

i spam the secondary attack with maces vs golems, and parry their light attack for a long stagger window
if you start the secondary spam immediately, it's just barely long enough for 3 secondary attacks, which should be more than half of its health

[quasi vault]

It was a discussion about golems on very hard

[steep tusk]

"Spam" is an interesting choice of word given how slow they are 🙂

[frosty frost]

I usually parry them and just chain normal hits or 3 normal ones and one secondary, tho on very hard i would not try to parry 😄

[frail cave]

oops

[quasi vault]

You wouldn't parry

On hard you are barely able to parry them and you need good health, one of the best 2 shield at that point and a decent block level

[frail cave]

yea i still wouldn't use a pick, gotta be on the head to do half-decent damage and that's a waste of time on spike golems and not affordable in safety on club golems

(on the head or on a slope facing down)

[tired root]

Yeah on hard even with Silver shield I could just barely parry a golem when using HFF food setup.

[steep tusk]

Ok but, imagine how much pick damage the Deep North pick will do, making it extremely viable 😄

[frail cave]

compared to the ashlands club?~ :>

[frosty frost]

Provided we will get one 😄

[true steeple]

The battering ram can kill a stone golem instantly

[tired root]

Not many people have that on their pocket against Golems I think. 🤭

[quasi vault]

Just jump 12 meter into the air over the golem's attack, charge the pickaxe attack while in the air, hit him in the head and repeat 72 times

[frosty frost]

"What has it got in its pocketses?" 👀

[tired root]

nasty pocketses

[noble vault]

I have excellent news

Hopefully they figure things out on their own. Otherwise I'll have to figure out how to craft a vinyl record player and see if there's any barry white in game

nvm. a fallen valkyrie decided to fly over, drop in, and refuse to be reachable, or attack me.

[steep tusk]

Refusing to be reachable is what made her fall in the first place 😉

[noble vault]

Well, I should be grateful that the game gave me a solitary egg for all that work, almost useful

My victim complex is over, as Gerald IV will begin his time here

[plain thicket]

do you guys think that 8 stacks of iron is enough for 4 people ?

[frosty frost]

Not even remotely enough for 1 person 😄

[plain thicket]

oh

[steep tusk]

You will never stop needing iron.

[plain thicket]

👍

[frosty frost]

As a solo player who doesent build any BIG builds that you need iron for i need around 3 full longships full of iron for whole playthrough

[plain thicket]

dam

[frosty frost]

Maybe a little less but at least 2 full ships worth

[plain thicket]

we are at bonemass right now

do you think we have enough ?

[frosty frost]

Do you already have iron gear and weapons?

[plain thicket]

i have a little bit my friends dont

[tired root]

Hopefully you have Animal whispers mead to shorten the taming process time.

[frosty frost]

Then go get more, at least one longship i would say

[plain thicket]

ok

[noble vault]

I do!

Fun fact: The lore of the brew of animal whispers is that your character learns to quietly whisper "Who's a good boy? It's you! You're such a good boy!". This tames the Asksvin.

[green bolt]

checks out

[noble vault]

Is there like, a thing that I'm doing wrong when getting Asksvin to breed? I have made a big hole that goes deep in the ground. I've raised up the ground as far as it'll go around it. I've put the asksvins in. Tamed them. And fucking three times, a fallen valkyrie has targetted them, refused to de-aggro off of them, and killed them. It's starting to feel like a scripted thing. Like, if asksvins are being bred, send a valkyrie in with 100% focus on them. Like do I have to put a roof on top? Is that a rule?

[quasi vault]

I'd recommend staying put, not doing any noise until they have at least a few eggs, which really shouldn't take long

[noble vault]

Funny, that's precisely what I've done

[quasi vault]

Usually when you are not moving enemies don't really spawn in, a bit of protection wouldn't hurt I guess

[noble vault]

Okay, I'll put a roof on, and consider raising skellies, creating ballistae, heavy spikes, and getting several friends to log on and act as guards. In all the videos I've seen people are just kinda like, chilling over a pit in the ground like "hey just sit here and they make eggs :3 " and I'm .. not having that experience at all

[quasi vault]

Too safe is a thing

[noble vault]

Apparently the fuck not lmao

[quasi vault]

That's how it went for me, then I just moved the egg to a safe location and bred them

[ebon harness]

Hi, um, I am stuck on the goblin boss, and after about an hour, I used up all my resources for fire resistance, circa 800 frost arrows and four bows, but still could only take off roughly 1/6th of the boss's life before running away. My best stuff is silver, and I am mostly melee focused, but if I get in melee range, the boss instantly kills me with the blue flames or the meteors.

[frosty frost]

The roof should be enough, when enemy doesent see you they will not attack you 🙂

[frosty frost]

At plains you should have padded armor, silver sword or prostner is great for him and bow is awfull for him, you really should try melee him

[vapid warren]

solo you need to do a lot of dodging. silver sword is best weapon against him, frostner or blackmetal sword second. it takes longer since there's barely any window, but it's how i've done it every time

[ebon harness]

Again, the problem is that when I run up to it, the meteors or blue flames instantly kill me, even with fire resistance on...

[vapid warren]

you can use the fingers to hide from beam or meteors, and boss altar for beam

it's telegraphed which one he's doing too, so it gives you a few seconds

[ebon harness]

Is there a difficulty slider, maybe? And I tried to do that, still wasn't really enough to get away.

[frosty frost]

Yep, before you start the world here is button "world modifiers" 🙂

[ebon harness]

I pretty much used up all my resources at this point trying to defeat this boss...

[tired root]

World Modifiers on main menu when choosing world.

[ebon harness]

Thank you. I'm still not expecting the fight to be easy, what else should I try? I have no real idea what else I could do beyond one slash, running, using the bow to at least slow down the regeneration, then hitting again

[vapid warren]

what gear and food are you using?

[ebon harness]

I got an almost full wolf gear, silver sword, bread and boar jerky. I had better foodstuff, but used them.

[vapid warren]

yeah boar jerky is quite poor

[ebon harness]

Not much else left... 😄 Might have asked earlier, but...

[errant zodiac]

I need help! I have accidentally used my ashland sword in the catapult when stand on it and now the sword is missing. How to recover it?

[noble vault]

I shit you not

[tranquil lion]

Im a little confused on how stone works.

If i stack 5 stone pieces then i start stacking wood pieces.

The stone loses support as it goes upward but the wood counts as grounded?

[stoic trench]

Wood counts as grounded if it’s touching stone

[last osprey]

stone has higher base stability than wood so red for stone is still blue or green for wood.

[noble vault]

think of it like they're layers. you get a stone 'foundation' which you can build to a certain height, and then on top of that, you can build wood as if it were on ground.

[sweet geyser]

why cant my friend join my world

it says "fail to connect" and it has 3 boxes with a red line over them

[subtle parrot]

Go farm and do some stuff before trying to fight him again, get some more padded armor back ups and prepare a lot of food and fire wine. Go in and slash him 3 or 4 times at least, then back off let him do him tantrum, slash him several more times.

[willow jungle]

Can someone pls explain this?

*Lox can breed provided the lox is;

happy and well-fed with Cloudberries, Flax, or Barley
and there is another lox within 8 meters
and no more than 4 lox within 20 meters <<<<<
and they are not under a roof
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Lox?so=search *

I am counting 6 Lox's and 3 Lox Calf's, not 4 Lox's

[thorn spire]

Sadly, you can't. Any items shot in a catapult are destroyed on impact.

[subtle parrot]

You can load a previous back up save of your character

[thorn spire]

It's the 20 m rule that's causing it. I have a lox pen that's ~12mx30m. I keep my breeding pair in one corner and shove all the calves into the opposite corner. Doing that, I can easily overbreed.

[dusty blade]

Can you put a cart on a boat?

[thorn spire]

sure can!

[dusty blade]

Awesome thank you

[thorn spire]

I wouldn't recommend putting one on a raft tho. can roll off too easily

[dusty blade]

I'm moving and I want to bring my base with me

Oh yeah I'm on a longship. Thanks for the help!

[snow vault]

best food combination very early game ?

[true steeple]

Deer meat, honey and either raspberry or boar meat

[subtle parrot]

Before the first boss fight?

[snow vault]

right after

[true steeple]

You can swap that raspberry for yellow mushrooms

[snow vault]

deer meat, boar meat + honey ? is there a better combination ?

[subtle parrot]

Pretty much same as what blob said until you get tin ore and surtling cores

[true steeple]

Once you have a cauldron, any combination of food cooked there is good enough.

Just don't eat three health or three stamina food, it's good to have a bit of both

[snow vault]

alr thks and last question, is it better to dodge or parry ? like in the overall game

[true steeple]

Dodging is useful for attacks that are too strong to parry (mainly some starred enemies later on in the game, but you can find these earlier occasionally), and parrying costs more stamina. When dodging an attack, jumping is always better than rolling if an attack can be jumped over.

Overall, I'd say dodging is better because it works against everything, but there's no reason to just use one. Learn how to dodge and parry effectively and where each of those are better.

Also, you're not even bringing up regular blocking? Blocking costs less stamina than parrying, jumping or rolling so there are a few cases (such as when fighting bosses, they can't be staggered) where it's best.

[snow vault]

but how do i know that i can block a certain attack for sure ?

[last osprey]

you try

[true steeple]

Eventually you'll unlock a forsaken power for physical damage reduction. This allows you to test attacks without risk of dying instantly.

And before that point, you shouldn't be finding anything that can one-shot you if you're staying in the right biomes

Except some two-star strong enemies such as trolls

[snow vault]

i see

[last osprey]

how much you can block depends on your max health, shield and blocking skill, so it varies depending on circumstances.

[snow vault]

tysm for the help ❤️ @true steeple

[last osprey]

as long as you wear armor and use a shield from your biome you should be fine

[snow vault]

can any shield parry or is it specific shields ?

[true steeple]

All shields and weapons except tower shields

Tower shields make up for this with high block force (knockback), increased blocking angle and highest base block armor

[snow vault]

alr thks

also @true steeple is there a way so that me and my friend can both be hosts so that he can play when im not

[loud linden]

I think dedicated server is the only way. ~$10 a month.

[snow vault]

how can i get that if im not on steam ?

[loud linden]

The dedicated server is a 3rd party thing. I'm not on console, so I'm not certain, but if you search for Valheim server hosts on your platform, I'm sure there's something

[snow vault]

alr thks

[wheat sedge]

how can i lower this part under water?

[loud linden]

Lower it to be more underwater?

[wheat sedge]

yes

[loud linden]

You can either pickaxe to lower land, or hoe to level land. It's much easier to heighten ground than it is to lower water.

If you can't walk (as opposed to swimming) you can't equip tools. What is it you're trying to do?

[viscid pawn]

hello I think my world got corrupted my friends cant join when they used to be able to months ago

[sonic tiger]

Can Refined Eitr or the Eitr Refinery damage Dvergr Metal Walls?

or is it only black marble and iron walls?

[frail cave]

dvergr metal walls are also immune to poison and lightning damage (the types dealt by eitr sparks)

[sonic tiger]

oooo amazing tyvm

[solid crag]

So my brother started up a new world on Friday morning and we played on and off all week. Both went to log in today and all files related to that server have simply poofed as if it never existed.

[onyx shore]

Hello guys is there any way a friend can send me his world so i can play it in my singleplayer but with his stuff already built?

[errant zodiac]

That's unfortunate. Thanx for the reply!

[errant zodiac]

But I made so much progress in the mean time. I guess I'll have to grind for it again. Thanx for your response

[subtle parrot]

Ah, I thought you might have been talking about the fire sword, only one of those per world.

[thorn spire]

Can you imagine accidentally catapulting that? I'd probably cry.

[errant zodiac]

Lucky that wasn't it. I would cry If I loose it. I am still looking for it

[subtle parrot]

I wouldn't be surprised if anyone has before lol

[quick geyser]

hello, just started this game and am looking for players to play with

[thorn spire]

Ask in #1024264966712340510

[desert compass]

hey everyone... is there a way to get the terrain to NOT look like this when using flatten/raise?

Deforming the terrain seems to always end up with this "crinkle" pattern eventually. Idk how to fix.

[crystal kiln]

@desert compass its a grid
if your alignment is correct you get a straight line

[desert compass]

it seems pretty parallel to the workbench

[true steeple]

If you align terrain walls with north, south east or west they will be straight

[desert compass]

wait... so not being on a cardinal direction makes the terrain apply a sorta antialiasing effect to itslf?

[buoyant peak]

@errant zodiac

[thorn spire]

oh, that might be an update to the wiki then, or I misread it.

[buoyant peak]

It seems like the item clips through the terrain slightly after landing. So it's not that it was destroyed, it's right under the place where it landed

So it clipped completely instead of partly

First slayer I launched clipped through completely, multiple attempts with other items didn't

[thorn spire]

does it fall below the world then, or can you dig down to get it?

[buoyant peak]

Apparently not, it just falls through. When it clips partly, the terrain itself is keeping it from falling, if it does clip through completely, it will just fall into oblivion

[sonic summit]

is it possible to download mods to valheim from xbox pc gamepass? - and cross play with mods from steam to xbox

or EquipmentAndQuickSlots mod needs just host to install it or everyone playing?

[placid robin]

can two 1 star boars make a 2 star boar baby?

can a 2 star boar and a 1 star boar make a 2 star boar baby?

[compact heath]

a 2 star and a 0 star can also make a 2 star baby, it depends on boar dad and mum only

[frail cave]

looking for someone to carry, im so bad..

[true steeple]

you might be able to find someone by making a post in #1024264966712340510

[glass mulch]

I’m down what area are you in @frail cave

[quick geyser]

anyone know why my character is so zoomed in?

[true steeple]

Can you not zoom out?

[glass mulch]

Scroll wheel ?

[sinful pine]

What would be the best way to beat the 1st boss?

[quick geyser]

thank u didnt know u can zoom in and out

[true steeple]

I use a flint spear or knife

[quick geyser]

crude bow

[sinful pine]

Ty

[glass mulch]

Just prepare for it lol genuinely you don’t need much most kill it with a bow and call it a day

[true steeple]

Before fighting him, you need to be prepared for what’s ahead.
Make a level three wood shield or wood tower shield, full leather armor (level 1) and an upgraded flint weapon.

Eikthyr is very weak but killing him unlocks the greydwarf raid which is why you need all this

[gritty warren]

Me and my friend have played valheim with no problem ever occurring, & suddenly we can’t join either ones world! No clue why or how, anyone have an idea? Nothing is loading in, absolutely nothing except the ground & then we disconnect

[quick geyser]

can someone tell me where to go or what to do i killed the first boss and have been just running around not finding anything

[stoic trench]

Look for the next zone, the Black Forest. You’ll recognize it by the large fir trees!

[fallen seal]

you want to explore caves in the black forest next to progress the game, you'll want surtling cores from the caves to build smelter(s) and kiln(s). mine tin and copper (both in black forest, tin is next to water, copper are big rocks in the woods with little glints of shiny to them, and also will say "copper deposit" when you get near them). You'll also find little runes in some stone towers that will mark the location of the next boss (the elder) on your map

[glass mulch]

Run to the outskirts of the meadows that’s where you’ll discover the evergreen fight in the tombs and you’ll find your answer

[fallen seal]

you use the antler material that eikthyr drops to craft a pickaxe or two to do the mining of copper and tin. copper and tin combine to form bronze in a 2:1 ratio at a forge, which takes copper to craft. also if you haven't done it yet, take the eikthyr trophy from that boss fight and mount it on the eikthyr stone at the starting stone circle so you can activate the power of eikthyr by pressing F, it's very useful (reduces stamina loss from run and jump). you get 5 minutes of eikthyr's power spaced 20 minutes apart

[mellow lodge]

trendyfloof, maybe he didn't want to be spoiled about EVERYTHING in the next biome. Considering he just asked where to go

[fallen seal]

pardon, to me that was all information I would've liked to have known at that stage.

[glass mulch]

That’s why I gave my answer with a riddle

[quick geyser]

no thats ok i dont mind the spoils thanks for telling me guys

[fallen seal]

glad to hear it. I'll be more circumspect next time someone asks tho

[quick geyser]

is this the next boss and what offerings do i need for it

[fallen seal]

eikthyr is the first boss. the pedestal gives a pretty firm hint what you need to offer to make him appear

[quick geyser]

i already killed him i guess there is 2 of him?

[fallen seal]

since you already have the pickaxe you've clearly already beaten him

yeah bosses can have multiple spawns. you can keep beating the same boss to get more of what they drop, but you don't need to

[quick geyser]

thank u

is it smart to build everything at one location like do u unlock fast travel at some point? \

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, pretty much fast travel. So a single base is entirely do-able.

[formal escarp]

Is it a thing that fenris spawn alot of wolves when they attack you bc i swear i had that happen to me like 2 days ago or 1 day ago and rn it happend again and well it normally does not end well for me

[noble vault]

Does my character have to be close to tamed creatures in order for them to breed/grow?

[mystic sedge]

can you tame dogs with cooked meat

[vague mountain]

Anyone else experiencing this bug where if they're in the Ashlands by the seashore and a Bonemaw is swimming close to shore their character suddenly get pulled into the water? Their character will continuously go through the water and not drown. The bug will stop when the Bonemaw is out of range and they restart the game.

[gilded isle]

hey guys, any idea why my iron cooking station doesn't work?

[quick geyser]

is it possible to join other worlds or does every single world require a password to join

[lilac coyote]

Every world requires a password as they're all private servers. But you can ask for the password.

[subtle parrot]

Yes, they have to be in render distance

[subtle parrot]

Wolves eat deer meat or boar meat, I can't remember if the meat needs to be raw or cooked though

[subtle parrot]

More wolves in general spawn at night time, and if you're fighting something other mobs will come to the sound of the fighting

[formal escarp]

no it like says you are getting hunted and on the map the raid area circle comes

[subtle parrot]

Fenring aren't the cause of that, it's just a raid

One of the only ones that can happen when not at your base

[formal escarp]

i think i should make that iron 2 hand weapon bc to many of these just killing me everytime and rn i need to make an ew boat to get there and yeah im cooked

[subtle parrot]

Just take your time, no need to rush into it, get plenty of iron and make some back up gear, make a bunch of food, do some farming for a few days.

[formal escarp]

alr got all that just wanted to keep iron for building

alr have max silver armor silver shield iron mace drauger fang

idk if frostner would be a good choice

[edgy meteor]

Istg I haven’t found any yagluth stones or yagluth I’ve been searching for like 20 hrs

[mystic sedge]

how long until wolves deaggro

[lilac coyote]

When they're dead?

[mystic sedge]

im taming cant kill

side question, how do i stop wood from decaying from exposure without having to build a roof over it

[lilac coyote]

You can't. That's what roofs are for.

They only decay to 50% so it's not too bad.

[mystic sedge]

i do not like grey wood compared to the nice looking brown

its an aesthetics thing

[fallen seal]

pretty sure you have to build iron cooking station over a hearth, not just two campfires

[noble vault]

Are there any rules for space required for asksvin breeding?

[mystic sedge]

you can build an iron cooking station over two campfires, the placement for the campfires is very strict though

keep removing and placing the station and the campfires until they're aligned correctly, its wonky

[gilded isle]

I'm pretty sure it worked with the exact same placement last time I played, they probably changed something during the last update I guess?

[fallen seal]

good to know! I could never get it to work but doing it over a hearth is easy

[junior ingot]

for that one you need the hearth fireplace

big square one

[wide root]

If a roof is yellow ish, not orange , is that still acceptable for a house?

[frail cave]

as long as it's not breaking from being below dark red, it's perfectly sustainable.
stability doesn't affect durability or anything, and there's no stage between "stable" and "breaking from instability"

[wide root]

So as long as it's not literally breaking when I place it, it's fine?

[frail cave]

yepp, though if a structure is big enough, stability can take a while to update

probably not a problem yet, but it might be handy to know for later

[ripe bone]

winteeerrrrrr

[wide root]

You're a hero, I was steering the yellow stability on my house

[strong geyser]

Does shield generator prevent wet debuff from rain?

[buoyant peak]

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

[compact heath]

Yes

[buoyant peak]

It's worth wondering why we bother with the wiki, the literal main mean to access that kind of information

[ripe bone]

😊

[formal escarp]

i think my game didnt save properly i had died and im now at my body according to the map and cant find it i also found my boat about 3 minutes away from where i parked it like def 1000 meters or so away in the middle of the water

[kind sand]

is there any way to change the save behaviour? Like when an old database is made, and when automatic backups are made?

[simple yoke]

is it ever worth upgrading the staff of embers

[tired root]

It is - more damage and durability is always good.

[simple yoke]

oh true durability, the damage increase was so small for the cost i wan't gonna bother

[tired root]

Increase in fire damage is quite good as the fire damage stacks when hitting multiple times on the same target.

[mystic sedge]

when do flesh rippers become obsolete

[steep tusk]

Mistlands.

[ripe bone]

never

[ruby comet]

Anyone know how the eggs are "cold" despite being right next to 3 fires?

[ancient pawn]

to far from fire

[ruby comet]

1 meter is too far?

the weird thing is, if I pick it up and put it in the exact same place, it goes warm

[tame blade]

On the topic of eggs, what could cause Hens not to lay eggs? Even if fed regularly.

[tired root]

I believe they need to be sheltered and near fire source.

[ruby comet]

No, because picking them up and putting them in the exact same spot, they go warm

[tiny violet]

it takes like 5 seconds to turn warm

[ruby comet]

been there 10 minutes

[proper herald]

Is there a way to use the map on the table on a no map server or do I need to get a mod to able to use it.

[ebon marsh]

The map table is useless as of right now on no map servers

[noble tapir]

man, i wish there was a "hint" or something for finding the trader in a no-map world 😦

[willow raft]

Kind of like a vegvisir that points your character to the closest one.

[little trench]

will this eventually break by itself?

[noble tapir]

yah, or something you have to collect in black forests to point yourself like a compass

[true steeple]

No, it shouldn't

[noble tapir]

not necessarily, it just means you're basically near the limit of it's support

[little trench]

ok ty

[willow raft]

The next thing you connect to it will break but that shouldn't.

If the things that is connected to are anything but red.

[zenith berry]

can i have multiple status effect meads at the same time like poison and fire resistance

[true steeple]

Yes, the only meads that don't stack are multiple types of healing mead, stamina mead or eitr mead

[zenith berry]

wich do you recommend to run on yalgoth

[true steeple]

You only need barley wine, but if you have found the bog witch, tonic of ratatosk may help too. Don't forget to bring healing mead.

Another tip for yagluth is that you can block his meteors, it saves a lot of time and stamina compared to sprinting away.

[zenith berry]

alright thank i wasnt sure if he was going to use smth like frost attacks

[willow raft]

If you are sporting the fenris set don't bother with the barley wine though.

[true steeple]

It's mostly fire damage with a bit of lightning and blunt

[snow vault]

what material i sacrifice to summon bonemass ?

[willow raft]

Withered bones.

[snow vault]

i get those from ?

[willow raft]

Crypts where yo ugo mine iron, in chest, on the ground, in nooks and crannies.

[snow vault]

how many do i need ?

[willow raft]

10 I think, if you visit the bonemass altar it should tell you that.

[frail cave]

it's 10 yea

[snow vault]

alr thks

[burnt gazelle]

Is it currently possible to repeat a Hildir quest dungeon (e.g. a Smouldering Tomb), if someone already did it on the server? Maybe in one of the other locations? Does it matter whether or not the chest was given to Hildir?

[true steeple]

There are multiple instances of each hildir dungeon, so if you can find one that hasn't been explored already you can go through that

[burnt gazelle]

And there will be a boss inside? Would it drop a chest?

[true steeple]

Yes, everything will work exactly the same

[burnt gazelle]

I'm asking because at the beginning of the year I was on a server, and it looked like after someone does a quest no one else can, even in a different instance. So maybe that got changed? Or maybe it was a bug that got fixed?

[lilac coyote]

All bosses can be done as often as you like. Hildir's quests can also be repeated but you don't get the reward from her a second time (as it would make no sense)

[noble vault]

What's the behaviour of the ashlands vegvisir? Do they only reveal a new location if you visit the first mysterious place? Or are each of them associated with a random mysterious place and Im just unlucky the first 3 pointed to the same place?

[frail cave]

they presumably work like all other vegvisirs and point to the closest one, but i haven't tested that

[noble vault]

Thanks, hopefully they're not too weirdly spaced then heh

[tired root]

I'm quite sure there are 3 different vegvisirs for different mysterious places that are randomly found inside the putrid holes, at least I've gotten all 3 locations by searching inside them during one of my playthroughs. It seems you have been unlucky.

To add, 2 of 3 locations have a vegvisir that point out to the next location.

[snow vault]

do we still get one key drop the elder even if we are many in the server ?

[true steeple]

The elder drops one key for each player

The third boss also scales drops for more players

[snow vault]

and do the bosses have more hp the more we are ?

[true steeple]

I think it's +30% for each nearby player, and a little more damage. This applies to all enemies, not just bosses

[snow vault]

alright thks

[placid robin]

Is there a way to keep the same join code for a world?

[true steeple]

When you have joined a world with a join code, that world will be saved to the server list so you don't need a new join code next time

But there is no way to keep the same join code when re-opening a world

[placid robin]

I was just curious because I have a world where newer players are joining a lot

[sweet geyser]

why cant my friend join the world i created. we played once yesterday and it worked and then the enxt time we chose to play he couldnt join. it said fail to connect

[past compass]

If you're using the Steam version and are Steam friends try connecting through Steam friends list. Possibly after disabling crossplay. Microsoft seem to be having a bit of a "monday" and they provide the "proxy servers" for crossplay/playfab.

[sweet geyser]

it didnt work yesterday either. what do we like do now

[versed knoll]

i need help for the fps drop on 3060 12gb 32gb ram

[gritty warren]

VPN can cause some trouble too

[snow vault]

ur gonna need to put the code again if the host crash ( crashing u too )

[near coyote]

hey how do I make lox meat pie and bread? I have all the ingredients, level 4 cauldron and stone oven but the recipe is not showing up at all. I can make blood pudding but just not these recipes

[true steeple]

Raw food for the oven is made at the new food preparation table

[near coyote]

oh thank you! I'll try that out ❤️

[old bronze]

Have they removed rancid remains from the skeleton raid because I saw none when I had it

[thorn spire]

They're still there.

Still in Brenna's raid too.

[shadow basin]

well so im new

[frosty frost]

Hello new, i'm dad 😄

[snow vault]

asatru, tell me ur weapon type layout

[frosty frost]

Will post pic of my hotbar in #screenshots if you want 🙂

[frosty frost]

#screenshots message here you go, tho usually i use one handed weapon and shield in the first two slots

[snow vault]

alr thks

[frosty frost]

Keep in mind that this Is probably not a setup most people use, i doubt that many people other than me take cultivator, pickaxe and hoe everywhere 😄

[mellow lodge]

I tend to have hoe and pickaxe most of the time. Not cultivator though.

Raise earth is too strong imo to leave the hoe at home. 🙂

[last osprey]

pickaxe yes, hoe and cultivator no. I have portal mats, i can get those when i need them

[snow vault]

do i only get rested buff when sleeping ?

[tired root]

No, you need to have resting buff on for 20 seconds to get rested buff.

[snow vault]

huh do u mind to explain ?

[tired root]

Minimum requirement is sitting (press x) near campfire.

When you are sheltered and near source of warmth (any fireplace) you get resting buff without sitting next to campfire. While resting is on for 20 seconds you will get rested buff and the timer for that depends on current comfort level.

[snow vault]

oh i see ty

[tired root]

So if you are exploring and run out of rested buff you can build a campfire and sit next to it to regain the rested buff for the shortest amount of time (7 mins).

[snow vault]

how much do i need to sit to get it ?

[tired root]

Or you can go inside a dungeon, like Burial chamber and build a campfire there so you are both sheltered and near fireplace.

[tired root]

It's always around 20 seconds.

[snow vault]

alright ty for the help

also should i stay with the full troll set or do a full bronze one ?

[tired root]

No problem. I add that it's uninterrupted 20 seconds so if an enemy is near you lose resting effect.

[snow vault]

near me or attacking me ?

[tired root]

Near.

[tired root]

There are large amount of players who don't bother with bronze armor because of the small amount of armor rate they provide more than troll armor and because they slow your movement speed (-10% movement speed penalty from chest and leggings).

Quality 1 troll armor piece provides 6 armor and quality 1 bronze armor piece 8 armor and troll armor doesn't slow you down.

Note that helmets don't give movement speed penalty, so you can mix bronze helmet with troll armor for example if you feel like.

[snow vault]

so bronze helmet with the rest being troll armor

and for the cape ?

deer hide or troll ?

[tired root]

Yeah. But you can still fare well with full troll armor.

Mixing Bronze helmet is sometimes wise if there have not been so many trolls for some reason to craft full armor for example.

[tired root]

Cape is whichever you like.

Full troll armor grants +15 sneak skill lvl tho when using with the troll cape.

[snow vault]

is sneak even that good in valheim ?

[tired root]

Sometimes. Sneaking behind deer with knife is valid option to hunt them.

[frosty frost]

Eh, it can be nice if you want to play sneaky 🙂 but its not necessary at all

[snow vault]

dont need deer anymore😭

[snow vault]

ye but is it actually usefull in some cases ?

[frosty frost]

Some, sure

[silk knoll]

I need some help with mead crafting. me and my friend have some troubles with it beacuse our crafting recipies have dissapeard from our cauldron menu. Somone knows how to fix it sorry for bad english

[frosty frost]

You need new station, the mead ketill 😉

[silk knoll]

How can i obtain it?

[frosty frost]

Look into the hammer menu 🙂

[silk knoll]

Many thanks

[frosty frost]

[snow vault]

how much honey can 1 bee hive store ?

[frosty frost]

4 honey

[hybrid cove]

do trolls ever respawn inside their troll caves once you've cleared it out

[hexed karma]

Can someone help me when i try to play the game my cursor goes to the other screen and its making me quite mad

[buoyant peak]

no

[hybrid cove]

ok cool thanks planning on making a little hobbit hole in here (nevermind cant put workplace in dungeon D: )

[frosty frost]

You also cant build in there 😅

[hybrid cove]

I was able to put a campfire so i thought i'd work

[exotic hinge]

I got to say; trying to make an initial base in the Ashelands is proving to be rage-quittingly difficult for me. Does anyone have any video or pointers for specifically just setting up a semi-safe, low-maintinance outpost I can use to warp into the ashelands and to cache stuff quickly?

The video I found just spoil most of the biomes mechanics

I just want a foothold to warp too without swiming

[somber spruce]

Hello, everyone. I was wondering if I could get some help with an issue my brother is having. He can't create a new character. When he clicks create, nothing happens, as if he didn't click at all. Has anyone else experienced this or have any solutions?

[exotic hinge]

First Troubleshooting Step: did your brother install any mods? Mod conflicts can casue a lot of issues and should be removed as a first step for troubleshooting
Clarification: not anti-mod, just the first thing you should check, like making sure an appliance is plugged in and what not

[last osprey]

use the hoe to make terrain walls. They don't need to be max height, just high enough to have steep sides.
The only enemies you have to worry about are lava blobs and voltures, valkyries don't spawn on the shore afaik and everything else is stopped by the wall.

[exotic hinge]

I just assumed they would walk over, if it's really that simple, I should be able to use bonemass to get some bulwarks thrown up. I was trying to make a crows nest on top of an indestructible ||Putrid hole|| entrance

[somber spruce]

Just tried that, unistalling the mods worked. Thanks, Chad.

[tiny violet]

I never found it worthwhile really to build there (especially early). I mostly hide many portals. i'll hide them where I can, even pickaxing down into/under a rock and hiding portals in stone). I go into Ashlands during daytime, quickly get what I can for materials or forward map progression, and quickly portal home and sleep through the night

Eventually there are POI's in Ashlands, which once cleared, can make handy bases or footholds or outposts

[exotic hinge]

Foxhole, I'm not sure if the stones will be strong enough, but I'll keep that in mind

[last osprey]

slapping down a grausten box isn't exactly a lot of effort. Not sure how it is now but back on PTB you couldn't move 50 meters in Ashlands without picking up a stack of grausten or two just by walking around and fighting.

[exotic hinge]

True, but I want something that is low maintenance and as tough as I perceive grausten to be, I need something more to provide protection

[last osprey]

i brought half a longships worth of black marble and never used any of it lol

[exotic hinge]

I think I'll try a combination of these methods; just take it slow, only do the hard work when I have Bonemass up rather than sticking around through all manner of hell

Better part of valor and all that

[tiny violet]

a strong solid place to make a base will present itself naturally once you get a bit further into the biome

[little trench]

methods to farm feathers?

[tired root]

Chests in meadows/black forest, shooting/harpooning birds, raising chicken and killing harvesting them, killing voltures...

[wicked atlas]

Is level 6 of the black forge released?

[true steeple]

No, you can only get level five

[wicked atlas]

Thanks

[hybrid cove]

you can parry the trolls with logs right? (with a wooden shield)

ive only ever fought the unarmed ones in melee

[echo sparrow]

you can parry it BUT i'm not sure a wooden shield is strong enough

it's a combo of armor and hp that go into determining the stagger meter (how fast that little thing that pops up when you're hit fills ups)--i THINK the way it works is if you can parry without the bar fully filling up on the one hit you can parry (if it DOES fully fill up, I think the parry attempt results in you getting staggered still even if you successfully time it right)

this makes it a bit 'trial and error' whether you can parry, especially against 'heavy hitters' (like the troll) of the biome, especially the first time you encountering them (or starred variants)

a good reason, unless you're willing to risk the parry failing/possible death experimenting, to dodge those kinds of mobs instead

[hybrid cove]

the blocking mechanics are kinda weird cause i was able to normally block it and didnt get staggered somehow but when i attempted to parry it did stagger so im not really sure (thanks for the help tho)

[little trench]

most OP mead from bog witch?

[true steeple]

Tonic of ratatosk

[frosty frost]

I raise you the berserk mead 🙂

[true steeple]

Did you have the same max health and an empty stagger bar? Parrying multiplies your block armor by your parry bonus so there’s no attack you can block but can’t parry.

[gilded isle]

Hey, I'm trying to tame 1* wolf but it just stays alerted 24/7 even though it is surrounded by walls, 100% not seeing me and has meat nearby. How do I fix it?

[steel imp]

How can I get in touch with a moderator or someone who can assist me with a specific issue that I want don’t want anyone else to see for this discord server?

[frosty frost]

If you want contact moderators you can DM @lofty orchid 🙂

[steel imp]

Thank you. Where can I can do this? Is there a specific channel that I need to use?

[true steeple]

You send a dm to modmail the same way you would to a user

[frosty frost]

Just send a direct message to the bot 🙂

[steel imp]

Oh ok thanks I appreciate it

[echo sparrow]

stagger bar does sound like the most likely culprit--i.e. had taken/blocked the hit, and then tried parrying before the bar was fully emptied maybe? because if it's a successfully timed parry at least armor should never with ANY shield be any WORSE than a non-parry, so only remaining possible cause of failure to parry (again presuming correct timing) would be if somehow in the few (presumably) seconds between the block and the parry attempt HP decayed just enough to go from attack parryable to not--does enemy damage have a randomness factor? that's the only, other, possible variable I thought of and wasn't sure whether it actually was a variable (and possible, however unlikely, explanation for the variation) since I know player attacks have randomness range factor to damage but not sure if that applies to enemies

[true steeple]

Enemies have a little bit of randomisation, I think it’s equivalent to a player at skill 100 but I’m not entirely certain

[noble tapir]

yah, last night i parried a 2 star brute, but the 2nd time he attacked, he just 1 shot me, but i could hear the block sound

[true steeple]

And you had the same max health, block armor and a clear stagger bar?

[noble tapir]

well, it was like 8 seconds later

[true steeple]

Stagger clears in five seconds so that would be ok

[steep tusk]

You can parry anything with any shield provided you have enough Max HP.

[compact heath]

I think some things can not be parried because HP you'd need is not possible with best foods though

[steep tusk]

Well, yes 😁 those are the red squares on the blocking sheet.

Wood Shield goes surprisingly far with the new Ashlands food though.

And if you crank the difficulty down it works even in Ashlands iirc.

[terse tiger]

My map was generated just after Ashlands, do I need to create a new one or can I stay?

[ripe bone]

why wouldja need to create a new one

[terse tiger]

Idk maybe somethjing new on generation

[ripe bone]

people have had the same worlds since before the mistlands, the game accounts for things.

it only matters where you've already explored

[wary hull]

is there any way i can build this fire so it doesnt cause the house to burn down?

keep putting everything around it on fire, any suggesstions??

[compact heath]

The fire setting you have turned on is a very advanced thing, do you play with others on a server or did you just turn fire hazard on randomly on your world?

[wary hull]

i mean i like the mechanic, i turn it on, i was just wondering if there is a way to stop it spread if I build it like this

[last osprey]

keep two meters of free space around the fire

[rocky elk]

One of my asksvin hatchlings escaped my pen, so i tried to use a harpoon to bring it back, but when i stabbed it, it became wet and slowly started taking damage and eventually died. anyone know what happened?

[ripe bone]

iiiis this in the ashlands?

[rocky elk]

Yes

[ripe bone]

i am not aware of anything that doesn't take some kinda damage from the boiling sea

[subtle parrot]

Bonemaw Serpernt "am I a joke to you?"

[hardy prism]

is this used for anything? cant seem to find information

[ripe bone]

no

[true steeple]

It was used for something before you killed it
Now the bog witch has no best friend

[ripe bone]

me 🥰

[compact heath]

beautiful decoration

[compact heath]

not true... Kvastur respawns, wish I had respawning friends 😭

[true steeple]

It will respawn, but right now the witch is lonely

[hardy prism]

actually my bonemass was next to the witch so kvastur died fighting haha

[compact heath]

that is probably a nice location

[mild yew]

Does someone know what is the best way to build a plains base?

[compact heath]

yes, but it depends what the best way is for you, what you're trying to achieve

you can have earthwalls and moats around the base to protect buildings from raids and things like berserkers, you can also have bonfires in areas to protect somewhat from deathsquitos also windmills help with them hah

[steep tusk]

With a hammer 😏

[compact heath]

I do it mostly with a hoe actually, and sometimes pickaxe

[snow vault]

will the deep north come with a new boss too ?

[compact heath]

yes assumedly so, DN will be a full biome update, the last one

[snow vault]

i hope they expend the ocean biome after that

to make it a bit more than serpents and leviathans

[compact heath]

they said there might be a bit of something added to all biomes, or they might not be, nothing confirmed so just have to see what happens (but its pretty much confirmed that ocean will not be a fully updated biome with a boss and all that, this is not going to happen) --- also don't forget there was ocean changes just this last big biome update, the ashlands ocean and the new ship and new mob etc, that counts as additional content and quite cool too

[snow vault]

an ocean boss would be crazyy

ocean crypts too 😭

[compact heath]

I would not like that, if you do it solo, steering the boat and fighting doesn't sound fun

[snow vault]

nah it dont have to be like that

maybe theres a bit of land for u to stay on
