[frosty frost]

And did i say anything about crypts?

[little trench]

jesus christ

its just a lot of the "helpers" on this discord give such useless answers
"hey i know about elder and i havent killed him, what can i do except for that?"
"kill elder"
"hey is there a strategy to farming item X?"
"kill mobs that drop item X"

[frosty frost]

Exept it was more like: "Where do i go after BF, btw havent killed Elder yet." " Oh you will know after you kill him." But i guess your interpretation Is funnier 😄

[little trench]

ya its funnier thats right

also that "btw havent killed elder yet" still implicitly asks the question of "do i need to kill him?", which he does not

anyway ya thats it im escaping this chatgpt convo nightmare

[frosty frost]

And what does that change about the simple truth that the simple helpfull answer has been provided?

[snow vault]

helpers are goated🗣️

[little trench]

clearly

[frosty frost]

Well, you are free to think that not providing spoilers Is not helpfull enough i guess 🤷‍♂️

[turbid mica]

WHAT IS THIS

[thorn spire]

free loot! but probably not a vegevisir.

stay on top of the stones.

[true steeple]

Always return to your base or put down a fire before you're unrested

[stoic trench]

On a side note, it’s not really helpful to tell new players that something like a key isn’t needed 😅 yes, technically the swamp key isn’t needed, but I would say it’s definitely the intended route. For a players first playthrough, it’s probably best to encourage the standard intended progression.

[steep tusk]

No no. That's been described as a quote "useless" way to answer questions. 🙃

[calm quarry]

Have you ever mined a copper deposit and all that came out was stone? Not a single copper? 🤣

[true steeple]

A whole deposit? No

[calm quarry]

It looks like I'm lucky, I've been digging for nothing... plus I've got this 3x(resources) 🤣

[true steeple]

Are you sure it's a copper deposit and not a silimarly shaped large rock?

[steep tusk]

Are you digging out the entire, very large rock or just the shim of it sticking out of the surface?

[true steeple]

It should show the text "copper deposit" when aiming at it

[calm quarry]

I know.

wait second

Apparently || I'm dumb||
I swear to everything I've marked on the map copper deposit and seen the text, ahahaha. seriously I'm 1 hour digging the hole.
I was returning home when I remembered that I hadn't picked up any copper, my bad sry for wasting your time. 🤣🤣

[thorn spire]

lol was just a rock? at least you ahve lots of stone.

might as well finish it off and stack the stone.

[green bolt]

well youre always gonna need stone anyway, might as well

[calm quarry]

true.

[loud linden]

Outstanding. Comedy gold right there. 😂

[quasi pagoda]

Can you tame a creature when it is not in its "home" biome? For example, lure a boar to a pen in the Black Forest and then tame it? I have always assume you could but never tried it.

[lilac coyote]

Absolutely.

[quasi pagoda]

Nice. Thanks.

I dug a new pit, lured an asksvin into it, tossed a smokepuff in and it almost immediately began the taming process. The only difference was the second pit was in a part of the Ashlands that I had not explored prior to the biome update and the first pit was in a pre-explored area. The failure to tame was because the asksvins would never eat the provided food in the first pit which is necessary to start taming. I wonder if pathfinding to the food (within 10m) is somehow broken for pre-explored areas of updated biomes?

[snow vault]

can a lox take on a berserk suling ?

[strong geyser]

what does scythe do?

[steep tusk]

Farming in an aoe.

forcedelete?

[strong geyser]

nvm

removedrops

[steep tusk]

Removes only drops.
You asked about items 🤷‍♂️

[strong geyser]

is bloodstone from the forts?

[steep tusk]

Yes,

[strong geyser]

so mounted asksvin can walk on lava ?

[true steeple]

Yes

[strong geyser]

it seems the askvin moves on its own does riding skill give you more control?

[fluid crest]

how do you know you have "finished" a burial chamber? is there a sound or smth?

[stoic trench]

No audible indicator or anything, just once you got all the loot you want 🙂

[steep tusk]

You know you've finished when you've been through every door. That's why I always go right to left.

[fluid crest]

ok so you dont know if u missed a room or else

[stoic trench]

Nope, just gotta do a thorough exploration

[fluid crest]

another quick question, why is my raft not moving even if im max speed? is it the wind?

[frosty frost]

the first speed is rowing, you will move even without wind, the other 2 speeds need wind in the back(ar and least side) to propel you

[fluid crest]

now I understand why I could still go backwards lol ty

[frosty frost]

Under minimap you should be able to see where the wind blows while sailing 😉

[fluid crest]

yup I did, I just didnt know about the speeds, thanks!

[turbid maple]

Wind lines appear in the air if you're observant

[frosty frost]

Thats also true, but it is much easier to see when the game actually shows it to you 😄

[fluid crest]

keeping a stump means the tree wil regrow?

[ripe bone]

not how trees work

[turbid maple]

need seeds for that

[frosty frost]

Just destroy it 🙂 they are only gonna be ugly in the terrain (also, the little beeches in meadows will not grow in full trees if you are wondering 🙂 )

[sand ocean]

i am hosting a world for some friends and we are having trouble saving character progress, is there any way for people who are not the host to create a save that can be backdated to? thanks

[tiny violet]

Multiple people have told me that leaving stumps can eventually cause lag.
I always cut the stumps out

[lilac coyote]

Characters are saved client side so nothing to do with the server.

[sand ocean]

i know, but we've had issues that require backdating the server to fix and everyone's got different character save times. what im asking is if there is any way for people to save their characters in a way that we could all save at the same time (its a bit hard to explain)

[frosty frost]

Probably best for all of you to hit the save button around the same time 🤔 i am not aware of any other way really

[sand ocean]

we tried that but it doesn't seem to work, pressing save only seems to work for the host

[frosty frost]

Then no idea, sorry 😦

[mighty shadow]

Hi what does the fork icons mean ??

[frail cave]

yellow means the food is specialized for stamina, red means it's specialized for health, white means all stats are balanced, ||blue means it's specialized for eitr|| (6th biome spoilers)

and "specialization" in this case simply means that one stat is much higher than the other

[stoic trench]

5000 blueberries goodness gracious 😂

[mighty shadow]

oh ok I thought it was some sort of spoiling

[mighty shadow]

There is just 3 out of a 5000 max for a stack, yeah I dont like low stack and needing 40 chests to store a bunch of wood 😦

Im trying to have my base travel with me on a ship so need to keep things compact

[lilac coyote]

What in the name of mods?

[mighty shadow]

you need the modlist or the mod that modify item stack ? Just got the game and Im not sure which touches the stack as a side effect

[stoic trench]

No thanks, I appreciate it though 🙂 all those zeros would be a lot for me haha enjoy though, game is a ton of fun!

[lilac coyote]

Good heavens no, I hope to never touch one.

[wide lynx]

is there a structure that i immune to the balls of lava that get spit out of lava pools in the ashlands?

if not, is there a way to remove the lava?

[true steeple]

Shield generators prevent these projectiles from spawning

[ripe bone]

but armour slots tho

[wide lynx]

thx

[frosty frost]

Are not needed

[ripe bone]

I am talking about mods

[stoic trench]

Oh no, here we go 👀🍿

[frosty frost]

Why use mod when now every slot is an armor slot

[ripe bone]

there isn't one percent of my own opinion that does not want armor slots, which i know aren't going to get added.

[frosty frost]

Nah, going to sleep 😄 hide the popcorn

[thorny turtle]

Guys, why can't I put iron in the level 2 furnace? It doesn't make any sense, it's an upgrade, it's supposed to still smelt other ores

[ripe bone]

no its not

nor is it an upgrade, its a tool to smelt higher tier ores.

[frosty frost]

Ïts a different kind of smelter 😄 you can just have both

[ripe bone]

QoL, Aesthetically pleasing, Stuff like that.

[stoic trench]

Think of it this way- different metals have drastically different melting points, and if your temperature is too high, you can actually scorch metal 🙂 hence we have two different smelters.

[mighty shadow]

I realize my screenshot had a mod visible. . So it seems if I even have one mod I should asks in #mods-issues seeing the reaction even though that was a question about the vanilla game ? What do you suggest I do ?

my goal is to get help not annoy others...

[ripe bone]

your question was answered was it not

[strong geyser]

can you cook with asksvin egg?

[frosty frost]

What do you need helping with?

[frosty frost]

No

[mighty shadow]

yeah but I was asked what mod it was only to be told they dont want to play with any mod. So Im confused by that seems like 2 peoples badly reacted to the prsence of a mod/even me using mods

[ripe bone]

who cares, if you're asking about something in a mod ask in #mods-discussion if you're asking about a vanilla feature ask here, simple as.

food seems to be entirely unchanged for you.

⭐

[real nebula]

Generally the main channels are for vanilla game help, but your question had nothing to do with the mods anyway, so

[ripe bone]

If you must ask specifically no alot of people don't like mods, Me included, Except for armor slots, At the same time if anyone cares if you're using mods and thinks you should change to suit their opinion then its not worth hearing them.

[lilac coyote]

Fortunately no one was saying that.

[stoic trench]

Didn’t mean to come off as hostile, sorry if it came off that way nbd, glad your question got answered! Enjoy the game however you want 🙂

[ripe bone]

i only get pissed at my friends for using mods

(when none of them have completed a single playthrough vanilla or not that is)

[lilac coyote]

Well that I don't agree with. You're spoiling the game for yourself by not having at least one vanilla run.

[mighty shadow]

oh it's not that I know it's frustrating for users and admins when peoples asks questions in the wrong channel. Wanted to make sure to respected that. Thanks! And I played like 100-200 hours on gamepass but bought it on steam now and there were 2 updates between now and then. Gamepass was last summer so I did play the vanilla game 🙂

[ripe bone]

some weird mods my friend did, like removing workbench restriction from building

[mighty shadow]

Got the game because I want to make mods so 🙂

Anyway my question was answered I wont occupy the channel furhter with that. I enjoy the game a lot give me a mmo scale feeling

[south pebble]

what do I need to be able to survive on swamp? I just killed elder and have bronze stuff

[true steeple]

If you’re strong enough for the elder you’re strong enough for the swamp

You could make poison resistance and health mead if you haven’t already

[compact heath]

help... trying to save a new game and its not creating db and fwl files?

[ripe bone]

what is the community server option, do you need toooo create a world differently or something..?...why is it blocked off to access

[little trench]

just poison resist pot is very important for new players

this game doesnt have enough notificaton for when you are dying from poison, so you might die without knowing it

[thorny turtle]

roblox oof sound

[simple dust]

Hello! Has anyone else had the problem that the smouldering tombs is just a Burial chamber? Or am I missing something? Got the caverns and tower without any issue. Vanilla, no mods

[tired root]

Probably you hadn't gone there before Bog Witch update and after update it generated the ST to other location, go to Hildir's map table again and it should give you new locations. You can remove the old incorrect ones.

[simple dust]

Thank you! Will try that 🙂

[snow vault]

can a lox solo a goblin berserker

[little trench]

prolly but they are same faction i think

[snow vault]

not if i tame him

[little trench]

aight

[tired root]

Tamed one can fight fulings. And it will probably win against berserker because it has resistance against blunt damage which berserker deals.

[snow vault]

very well

[tired root]

Haven't tested but according to their hp, damage and resistances I bet on Lox winning.

[bleak willow]

Should I max upgrade my draugr fang before fighting Moder?

[subtle parrot]

Not necessarily but no reason not to

[true steeple]

No, even a huntsman bow is good enough and level 4 is generally too expensive for what you gain
I usually upgrade anything to level 3

[echo sparrow]

the only thing the berserker MIGHT have going for it is its attack animations means it gets higher DPS (not sure if that'd still be true after resistances)

[bleak willow]

Is frostner worth max? I've heard its good everywhere

[echo sparrow]

i.e. some times some enemies seem to lose fights they SHOULD win on paper, just because they have "derpier" attacks

like they can't get positioned to trigger attacks as readily under the circumstances as the enemy

[echo sparrow]

yes, always

[subtle parrot]

Pretty much, just don't fight moder with it

[true steeple]

Or stone golems

[echo sparrow]

i honestly wonder if there's any singularly better value-cost proposition than frostner

[true steeple]

The fang spear is incredibly cheap

[echo sparrow]

and spears are also excellent value-cost, true

[bleak willow]

I'm not a fan of spears

[echo sparrow]

me neither particularly (user error, can't keep the damn thing) but i admit they are certainly good value

[wheat sedge]

is it high enough to prevent anything to enter?

[bleak willow]

The next weapon I will invest into is probably the blackmetal sword

[slim rampart]

biggest issue with mountain bases are the stupid drakes

[true steeple]

Wolves are pretty good at climbing, but I think stone golems won’t be able to

[snow vault]

its not that hard of a boss

[true steeple]

If you start the fight as soon as possible after waking up you won’t encounter anything dangerous

[wheat sedge]

can i put the three eggs without activating the fight?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[turbid maple]

yeah the annoying part is that they spawn in the air, requiring you to build high where drakes stop spawning

or make some workbench towers, reinforced

[terse tiger]

Wait how will I take moders eggs to her lair?

[real nebula]

Usually, moder altars will be in mountains large enough for 3+ eggs to reliably spawn nearby

in the case that it is not, however, you might have to transport them by the usual means you'd transport ore

[terse tiger]

Will take a look, I got the eggs to close to her altar by boat, but now I gotta climb

[turbid maple]

if you notice a gathering of drakes, it's an egg

you will need the belt for it, as it's a huge 200 weight + unportalable

[terse tiger]

What weapons would y'all recommend? I got the Draugr Fang 3 and nothing else, should I maybe get the spear or sword?

Plus how many arrows, 100 poison enough?

[turbid maple]

iron sword + silver shield will do

[real nebula]

a T3 or T4 draugr fang will be more than enough if all you use is bow and arrow, but the sword is a good option as well

[terse tiger]

Silver sword, then?

[turbid maple]

silver is strong yes, but expensive

her icicle rain is the most deadly attack

[terse tiger]

Fortunately I have resources to spare

[turbid maple]

even in Q4 wolf + frost mead it can easily kill you in a single barrage

just run like hell when you see it

[real nebula]

on normal settings, I remember taking slightly over 100 obsidian arrows to defeat her with only arrows; if you're supplementing with melee when you can then 100 poison should be fine, but I'd collect a few more

[terse tiger]

Armor is q1 and I wont level it for now, kekw

[true steeple]

Use a bow when she’s flying and a melee weapon when she lands

[terse tiger]

Maybe if I die

[true steeple]

Make a terrain pillar to hide behind when she uses her projectile attack while flying

[turbid maple]

her melee attacks aren't too hard, sans the bite attack

[snow vault]

lvl max wolf armor or lvl 1 padded ?

[uneven dome]

So, my chickens have this tendency to all gather in corners of their coop and then lay eggs. But I can't pick up the eggs very easily half the time because they won't MOVE! 😄
Any recommendations or suggestions? Is there a way to just pick up the chickens and manually move them? lol

[snow vault]

kill them!

[turbid maple]

you can shove them with your body

the harpoon is an option, but they can't take much damage

[uneven dome]

I've tried, but they get stuck in the corner and I can't shimmy them away from the corner

[snow vault]

can you destroy the corner ?

[turbid maple]

even jumping on top of them?

[uneven dome]

correct. If there's more than one next to one, you can't move both.

[uneven dome]

I mean, I guess I could destroy it and then try to shuffle them back in and rebuild before they escape. 😄

[snow vault]

just harpoon them back if they escape

[uneven dome]

I like the harpoon idea. I assume it won't kill them. Usually I have about 3 or 4 all packed into a corner.

[turbid maple]

It deals around half their hp i believe

[uneven dome]

Good to know. Harpoon only once. 😄

[snow vault]

try to rebuild their farm to avoid this problem

[uneven dome]

What do you use as a design? Mine is just a simple 4 corner large-ish covered coop.

[snow vault]

try to make it so each chiken stay solo while still able to breed with the next one. Check on youtube for chicken farms

[uneven dome]

I'll check it out. Thank you.

[snow vault]

yw

easiest way is still the butcher knife tho 😃

[turbid maple]

you can also turn pvp on to harm animals

[true steeple]

Friendly fire + sledgehammer

[snow vault]

how far can i be to still be able to tame the animals i left behind ?

[stoic trench]

I think it’s 50m?

So not far

[snow vault]

how long does loxes take

[lilac coyote]

To do what?

[snow vault]

cuz iv been sitting for a while

to tame

[lilac coyote]

30 minutes. Same as everything else.

[hearty plume]

Are ashlands questions considered spoilers?

[lilac coyote]

Not remotely by now.

[hearty plume]

ok

I'm trying to find the sword fragments. I found an elite spawner inside a fancy structure a long time ago and brought that fragment back to my base. I found lord reto at one of the mysterious locations yesterday and got his fragment too, but when I went to the 3rd location, I just found a big rock. I broke the rock apart but didn't find anything inside.

I tried erasing the 3rd marker and going back to the stone at the original altar, but it only gives Lord Reto's location now

Does anyone know how to find the 3rd location?

[stoic trench]

Dumb question, but did you make sure the big rock you found wasn’t actually a cave?

[hearty plume]

Yes, I completely destroyed it.

[stoic trench]

Mmm weird. It should be a cave with some ruins at the entrance.

[hearty plume]

isn't that Lord Reto's tomb?

[stoic trench]

Yep

I might be misunderstanding, forgive me lol. So you defeated lord Reto? Or no?

[hearty plume]

yes

[turbid mica]

porcupine or frostner better

[stoic trench]

Did you find the first location via a putrid hold vegvisir?

[stoic trench]

Depends on the occasion, but I generally like Frostner more

[hearty plume]

No

I'll re-check some of the holes I already cleared, I might have got the location from one and forgot it

I think I started at the 2nd location after finding it by chance.

[stoic trench]

Maybe you’re missing the first location then; the first two locations have pieces of the sword, they’re kinda similar.

Good luck!

[lilac coyote]

It seems unlikely if two of them worked, but could still be a post-Bog Witch switch.

[hearty plume]

I got a new location from a hole, I'll let you know if I find anything at it

it will take some walking

[hearty plume]

it worked

thanks

[stoic trench]

Good stuff, enjoy your new sword!

[snow vault]

do tamed boars fear fire still ?

[stoic trench]

Nope

[snow vault]

ty

[prime quest]

Whats the fastest way to lvl blood magic?

[charred fable]

I find a spawner in the swamps, raise ground so your skelletts don't break them, then just keep bubbling them while they kill everything that spawns. Alternatively, summon Elder and keep bubbling skeles. Elder's stomp will break the bubble everytime, though you'll reach a point where your skeles kill it really fast, so swamp spawner is probably best.

[prime quest]

Skeletons hit will raise the skill, right?

Or is it being hit from enemys?

[snow vault]

fastest way to get feathers ?

[steep tusk]

Hunt birds during storms.

[charred fable]

Yes, along w bubbles from Staff of Protection breaking.

[terse tiger]

Darkwood stronger or weaker then ironbeam or any of the past beams?

[steep tusk]

Nothing is stonger than ironwood.

[terse tiger]

Ty
So mostly decorative?

[steep tusk]

Indeed. Very decorative.

[prime quest]

Is that actually the most fastest way?

[charred fable]

Fastest way I know of. If there's a better way, I'd be happy to hear it. My BM skill dropped nearly 20 lvls (52 to 34) when my group hit Ashlands for the first time.

[little trench]

yikes thats a lot of time spent afking

[noble tapir]

hey, how many special hildir caves are there per map? I swear last time i played, when i went to her, there were 3 per map

[willow raft]

3 for every special dungeon, so 9 hildir spots in total. If I'm not mistaken.

[noble tapir]

thanks

[last osprey]

Draugr villages are also an option, especially those with 3 or 4 spawners in close proximity

[grand whale]

Is there a way to spawn boss altars? Cuz for some reason my Yagluth altar isn't even there.

[noble vault]

Just to be sure - If I travel to a tiny slither of deep north to catch the fish, is the current expectation that the rest of the biome won't generate?

[ripe bone]

i don't think it should be a problem? it looked like anything that people explored in the ashlands was overwritten by new generation

[noble vault]

Awesome thanks 🙂 Yeah I don't need assurances, just expectations

I may load up our seed in solo and just travel there too, might be ideal

[true steeple]

If you got the marker before the bog witch update, you’ll need to delete the marker and use a vegvisir again

[little trench]

you can do "spawn GoblinKing" in console

if u wanna spawn the boss

[strong dock]

help there is this massive goblin lookin guy with chest hair near my base

[noble tapir]

you mean.. his base

[strong dock]

NOW THERES TWO

[noble tapir]

their base

[strong dock]

what do i do now 😭

[noble tapir]

make them follow you away from their new base

[frail cave]

hello can someone help im with huge fps drop anda im with 3060ti

[noble tapir]

where's the FPS drop? - the game doesn't do well with lighting, and tanks your FPS - i run a 5950x and a 3090 and still turn off most of the lighting/shadows because building even a small base tanks FPS pretty bad

[frail cave]

theres any way to fix

sometingh that i can do to increse more preformance

[strong dock]

ok one down

the other one just poofed

[frail cave]

on my base

i have huge base

[noble tapir]

best thing i've found, is lowering the lighting and shadows in your graphics menu

reduce lighting where you can by consolidating braziers, etc

[strong dock]

what would i need to kill them

[noble vault]

Sorry, I'll tell my boyfriend to close the blinds

[strong dock]

💀

[tired root]

Bow is good for keeping distance. Spear is good if you can dodge attacks.

[noble tapir]

^ yah - if you haven't fought them before... then you prob don't have the shield to parry them yet

[tired root]

Now you are finally trolled

[strong dock]

oh alr thanks

[strong dock]

ok ill make a shield too

[strong dock]

oh so its a troll 😭

[true steeple]

Rolling allows you to completely avoid damage

[strong dock]

oh ok thanks

[noble tapir]

kind of, the troll can still smash you with his fists or the log in a roll, right?

[steep tusk]

Rolling makes you immune to damage. So no, you cannot be smashed.

[turbid maple]

weirdly the troll slam attack with the fists does 2 instances of damage

i noticed it while parrying

i parried two attacks in one

[true steeple]

They’re done at the same time you you can roll through both easily

[true steeple]

It’s because one is a melee hitbox and the other is an aoe instance

[noble tapir]

there's a disconnect between swing and hit with the log, and if the troll turns while swangin', he'll hit you anyway with the log, even if you've rolled what feel should be through it

this is exacerbated in multiplayer as well

[true steeple]

Turning has nothing to do with the timing

[tired root]

Basic wooden shield might not be enough to parry its attacks unfortunately. You need one made of better material.

[steep tusk]

Rank 3 Wood Shield on Normal with 0 Skill needs 108 max hp to parry the slam.

Which is doable with either HHH Meadows food or HHS Black Forest food.

[turbid maple]

buckler class my beloved

[noble tapir]

the parry / block always confused me. is it an HP/Armor/Stam calculation?

[turbid maple]

Hp/Stam/Block armor

[steep tusk]

Blocking sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat and has an entire READ ME page to answer that exact question 🙂

[strong dock]

wish me luck guys im gonna kill that troll

[noble tapir]

nice, thanks

[steep tusk]

Because it isn't that simple./

[strong dock]

i did it

[buoyant nexus]

serotonin level at normal again!

[willow raft]

On the contrary it spiked!

[fluid crest]

I played at launch, never played since, started a new game 2 days ago and killed my first troll yesterday night. lmao i forgot how hard they hit and how many hp they have, they kinda scary (+ he destroyed my raft...)

[strong dock]

fr hits like a truck

[true steeple]

If the stagger on the attack is more than 40% of your health (or less without an empty stagger bar) after the block armor is applied, you’ll be staggered

Parrying multiplies block armor by parry bonus and increases stamina cost

[void zealot]

Been playing with a friend and so far trolls are the only things that have killed me. So many reasons for why they've killed me too lol

[strong geyser]

does using wemod lower fps?

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion

[strong geyser]

what does the bell do

for ashlands

[stoic trench]

||summons the boss||

[true steeple]

||(You need three)||

[tired root]

||Then kaboom||

[echo sparrow]

don't forget to bring a stack of berserker mead

[strong geyser]

||i went to the ||mysterious location ||and got a piece of a sword ||

what are these? are the other location other parts of the sword? is the final prize a high level sword?

[thorn spire]

sounds interesting. Did you see the vegevisir at the mysterious location?

[strong geyser]

yes

[thorn spire]

maybe go there next?

[strong geyser]

I know I will but I want to know what it is

[south pebble]

how many potions can I have at one time?

[strong geyser]

is it to craft a super duper sword?

[south pebble]

bcs I have this and I assume taht I can have only 1 at the time

[thorn spire]

when you complete ||the quest, you'll get a new sword (Dyrnwyn)||

[thorn spire]

You can only have one potion of each type at a time. i.e. 1 health potion, 1 stamina potion and poison.

if you know other potions, you can use those separately.

[turbid maple]

It's only hp/stam that have cooldowns ya?

[strong geyser]

ty does it do anything special or just good stats?

[strong geyser]

is there eitr potions?

[thorn spire]

There are.

[thorn spire]

It's pretty cool.

[strong geyser]

one or two hande/

[thorn spire]

it's one-handed.

[uncut grove]

hey i need help

yesterday i defeated yagluth and i disconnettecv from the game and today i joined the game and my character is fully naked and my loot is anywhere and i didint even die how can this happen

all my armor or gears or weapons are all lost

[true steeple]

Load a backup with the manage saves button on character select

[uncut grove]

There is nothing to load

There are 10 different backups there.

Try to click on it 🙂

Hello my friends.Im new player in Valheim can someone tell me how can i get more FPS in Valheim if its possible? I have ryzen 5 3600X rx 570 8gb and 16gb ram and the graphics are on balanced because the fps drops to 30 when im in Quality.

also i have performance mode on my GPU

[frosty frost]

Try this, its a bit older but it should still help 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBkMW39egU

[split needle]

thank you i will check it out

[uncut grove]

I tried but all my saves are just saves where the inventory is empty

why does this happen to me man dont want to quit

[subtle parrot]

Then just spawn in the stuff you lost.

[uncut grove]

hows is thatz possible?

[subtle parrot]

Using devcommands

[uncut grove]

must i install that or how do i use it ?

[subtle parrot]

Enable console, I'm sure asatru knows better than me for PC

[frosty frost]

Put "-cosole" in launch options, then press "F5" while in game, type in "devcommands" and then "spawn <item id> <ammount> <lvl>"

[ripe bone]

we have image perms here??

[frosty frost]

I know how to do it only on PC 😄 on anything else i have no idea and i reffer to wiki

[ripe bone]

that makes it easier for me

[frosty frost]

Only for help purposes tho

[subtle parrot]

Yes for helping with things hard to explain

[subtle parrot]

It's much easier on xbox lol

[ripe bone]

rage

[frosty frost]

Heh

[subtle parrot]

No embed perms though lol

[uncut grove]

Do I have to install extra mods ?

[ripe bone]

wha

[frosty frost]

Go to general tab 🙂

[ripe bone]

where r u going, go back to general

[subtle parrot]

Under general not privacy

[ripe bone]

🥴

[frosty frost]

On my pic i think i had mouse there, sorry

[ripe bone]

theres no mods

[uncut grove]

Okay I got I’m launching in the game

[ripe bone]

close enough

[frosty frost]

Can you not? That is not related to any sort of help

[frosty frost]

Go to your world and you can spawn things like Obi showed you, wiki has list of all the IDs you might need for your things 🙂 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs (there is also id on each items site 🙂 )

[ripe bone]

geez louise

i'm off anyway, better things to do.

[uncut grove]

It always shows me that it’s not a recognized command

[frosty frost]

Did you put "devcommands" first?

[uncut grove]

yes it says i need admijn

[frosty frost]

If you are on dedicated server or on server you are not the host of you cant use commands

[uncut grove]

know i joined my own server how do i need to type the commands?

[frosty frost]

Yes

When on the server you type devcommands first and then you can start with the spawn commands

[uncut grove]

im typing spawn_AtgeirBlackmetal_1_4

and it does nothing

[frosty frost]

without the _

just spaces

[uncut grove]

yeah bro but it says spawn is not valid in the current context

[lilac coyote]

And you're typing in the console? Not the chat box?

[frosty frost]

spawn AtgeirBlackmetal 1 4
copy this

[true hare]

Is there a way to get an item rack to stick on the end of an iron torch so I can make heads on spikes?

[frosty frost]

Try the devcommands without the "/" 😉

[real nebula]

You need to run devcommands first

[prime quest]

Would you guys say removedrops is cheating? just to avoid getting lagger at spawner powerlvling xD

[uncut grove]

oh hahahahahhaha

[frosty frost]

Not really, just speeding up the process 🙂

[uncut grove]

thanks you so much man

🫡 😭 ❤️

[lilac coyote]

Cheating? No, not that one. Although there are obviously vanilla ways of doing it.

[prime quest]

I know, but feels like the income of Graugr items seems to be overcrowding in very short time lol

[frosty frost]

Hmm, Graugr seems like a very interesting mob 😉

[lilac coyote]

Never met a Graugr.

[prime quest]

Woops, Draugr xD

its his sister ofc

[lilac coyote]

Who is whose sister?

[frosty frost]

I believe Graugr would be sister of Draugr in this case 🙂 || (just bit of making fun out of the accidental misspelling really 😄 )||

[lilac coyote]

I mean, if they're talking about Haldor, then he's a Dvergr anyway.

[prime quest]

Gvergr xD

My Skeletons keep destroying the Draugr spawners, even if they're underground

[bleak willow]

i have more room on the other side to do the same thing since I got sick of losing track of stuff. should I bother? I just beat mountains

I'm wondering if I'll need more storage than this, I have more trouble getting stuff from A to B than actually storing it

[small canopy]

I would say you will need more storage for sure, unless you plan on moving bases

[bleak willow]

This is my main base. Was planning on moving but I made this one work so I'll just keep this one probably

[small canopy]

Yeah you'll get a good deal more item types in the next biomes so I'd be generous on storage and organization

[subtle parrot]

If you turn those chests sideways, you can fit 2 side by side in the same space

[bleak willow]

i will try that thank you

I am worried that I won't be able to do the same with blackmetal chests though when I get to that point. because they are bigger

I havent needed to make any yet

[frosty frost]

You dont even have to use them really, i use reinforced chests basicaly all game because the look nicer when they are stacked sideways 🙂

[subtle parrot]

No they don't fit next to each other like the iron chests, but 2 iron chests in the same space holds a good amount more than 1 bm chest

[frosty frost]

I think somebody actually did compare the hitboxes and iirc they did actually did fit almost exactly like the iron chests 🤔 but that is a reaaaaaaly deep dive in my faulty memory so i could be wrong 😄

[wheat sedge]

do i need anything more to fight moder?

[frosty frost]

You should be good 🙂 you could lvl up the gear a bit more if you want to be extra safe but this should do just fine

[compact heath]

Maybe a hat... wouldn't use that one for the fight unless you're really skilled.

[frosty frost]

You could also take a few meads if you want 🙂 (yeah and helmet xD, didnt even notice the witch hat)

[wheat sedge]

i have 2k hours in ds3

i think i got it

[compact heath]

DS 3 is the easy one 😛

[terse tiger]

Surtling only spawn once per geyser?

[frosty frost]

every 5 minutes iirc (but they are able to be spawnproofed)

[compact heath]

every 5 mins

[terse tiger]

Hm, wish it was faster

[wheat sedge]

and 600 on ds1, 200 in ds2, 1k in sekiro and 1,5k in elden ring

[compact heath]

I will be immensely disappointed if you die to Moder now 😛

[terse tiger]

This might be enough to farm though

[frosty frost]

Oh yes, thats more than good enough 😄

[terse tiger]

Do we have a date for 1.0? Deep north?

[thorn spire]

no

[turbid maple]

date: long ass time

[lilac coyote]

Date: entirely reasonable time.

[thorn spire]

half past when it's ready?

[frosty frost]

Nope, but it will take some time as they are (or at least they were very recently) still in pre-production of it 🙂

[turbid maple]

but usually devs send a "sneak peak" every now and then

[echo sparrow]

they like to tease us

[thorn spire]

and apparently we enjoy being teased.

[subtle parrot]

2032

[frosty frost]

https://www.valheimgame.com/news/development-blog:-lighting-the-way 😉

Latest info we have

[viscid wind]

Dont get enticed to spend more time in the game on storage management, you'll never progress

drop a chest next to something that needs resources, everything else can be in a mess of chests:)

[frosty frost]

Once yoy make a storage its easy to manage anything 🤷‍♂️

[viscid wind]

debatable, when you have iron to blow

[turbid maple]

later black metal n tar

[frosty frost]

which you should have plenty of 🙂

[turbid maple]

although blackmetal chests are quite thick compared to the rest

[echo sparrow]

THIC

[subtle parrot]

I got the bm chests as close as I could get them, and only 2 fit in about the same space as 3 iron chests. In the same amount of space I got 13 iron chests I couldn't fit 9 bm chests. And, even with a 9th bm chest it would only be 288 slots compared to 312 iron chest slots from the 13 iron chests.

[frosty frost]

Great to know 😄 it seems i indeed reached to the faulty part of my memory again 😅 however now it should be remembered 👍(hopefully...)

[thorn spire]

it's just so much finewood and iron. I can't bring myself to spend it.

[subtle parrot]

It's all relative, store your materials however you like. I've done a complete warehouse a couple times. But mostly, I like to go for esthetically placed functional chests, with a small storage area.

[mellow lodge]

so i play this game called Hoarderheim. and i have a storage problem.

[thorn spire]

same.

I can't pass up anything I find lying around.

[mellow lodge]

i use a combo of solutions. in floor black metal chests near crafting tables/cooking spots. warehouse full of standard chests of bulk wood/stone. small black metal storage area for other stuff to be nearby. greydwarf farm full of even more storage...

my name is treelash and i'm a valheim hoarder

[copper raven]

re: dedicated server - is there a process to generate a new world by seed code ON the dedicated? or is it only possible by generation on a GUI client and copying to the dedicated?

[lilac coyote]

No, the latter sadly.

[copper raven]

sigh

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, it's a really simple thing to add I'd have thought too.

[copper raven]

i found a world on my dedicated that i didnt add, and it was called dedicate diirc so it seemed to indicate i had accidentally commad lined it into existence....so im thinking it it might be possible but probably not by seed code... or i just accidentally pasted in the wrong filemanager window

although how that would result in tat filename AND a pair of valid map extensions idk

unusually lucid dream is anothe rpossibility too i guess

[copper raven]

ah... starting a non-existant world writes the -world.fwl and an autobackup of the same, but then borks and exits

[copper raven]

is there any advantage (like caching) to allowing the community server list to fully load? even when i enter a world name filter I never seem to be able to see it in the list before I get tired of waiting for it to load, even with server names starting with 'a', and frankly i dont actually have confidence that it will see the server name starting with 'w' that just started and have filtered for. Typically i just bypass this entirely and revert to just direct ip connection to save messing around...but is it worth waiting for it to finish loading? does it ever finish loading? (currently 1500+ after 5 minutes)

[lilac coyote]

There are way more servers than can appear in the list so I'd say no, probably not worth the effort.

[copper raven]

kind of disturbing that it dosnt seem to be loading them in order of lower latency, or i would have seen the one i want immediately

and it evidently doesnt check the local network first.. lol

15+ minutes and 3000+ loaded, still nothing... i dont think this function got thought out very well

[lilac coyote]

It works fine, but there are genuinely just way more Valheim servers than it can cope with. You're better off joining by IP or play code.

[copper raven]

i know, i just dont think the way they wrote it is properly functional, and i find that difficult to believe unless caching is of benefit... but thst far too long to wait if thats the case

[lilac coyote]

OK? I'm not sure what more we can do about that.

[copper raven]

as a dev: make it retrieve on a latency sort basis
as us: discuss i tin discord and hope someone noticed and implements improvements

[lilac coyote]

Um, then you're in the wrong Discord, though I don't think the Valve devs have one.

[copper raven]

nice

[prime quest]

Do Seekers suddenly appear around the map after a while? Couse i swear i haven't any seeker raids at the moment, but i recently meet some of them even at my starter base in the grasslands. Weird.

[ripe bone]

if you have defeated the queen they spawn in meadows/blackforest

[prime quest]

Wow, i didn't know.

[ripe bone]

same with fulings and yagluth

[snow vault]

can anyone tell me how much iron and linen for a max lvl padded armor ?

[lilac coyote]

96, 279.

[prime quest]

Now everything makes sense now. I thought all the time, some of them still left from recently raids. But this one was actually too weird, when i got attacked in middle of my starter base. 😛

[snow vault]

thks

[prime quest]

That means after Yagluth/Queen the Fuelings can spawn anywhere and Seekers also? Ive also watched Seekers battling Lox in the middle of Plains, far away from Mistlands. But i didn't think much about it, since i was just passing with my ship.

[ripe bone]

idk about like the swamps or mountains,

[noble tapir]

i don't know how it is now, but seekers after the queen fight used to spawn anywhere at night

same with other mobs after you beat that areas boss

[prime quest]

Yea, must be swamps as well, i just met them there as well, while lvling blood magic at spawners, far away of mistlands too.

[ripe bone]

that sounds wrong

[prime quest]

They was fighting a monstrosity.

[charred fable]

Seekers definitely will spawn in the swamps at night, though I've never seen them in the mountains. Fulings will show up everywhere but Mistlands and Ashlands after Yagluth afaik.

[prime quest]

Yea, sounds like what ive experienced last two days.

Is there a way to stop spawners from poppin monsters except destroying?

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, you can spawn protect the area using base items.

[charred fable]

I don't think that works. I have a workbench next to a greydwarf spawner and they still spawn...

[prime quest]

Guess he meants something like wooden floor or stone floor above or below maybe?

[lilac coyote]

Abolutely not.

[prime quest]

workbench and campfire doesn't prevent from spawning so far

[lilac coyote]

Well, they're both player base items, so they definitely do.

[noble tapir]

don't people build entire farms using base items to create XP farms at those?

[prime quest]

as u can see, workbench is in middle of the spawners

they still pop up. I do not use mods.

[noble tapir]

i don't think he read before answering 😄

[prime quest]

Yea, might be just about normal spawns.

[noble tapir]

i think the way people stop spawning for short periods of time, is to trap 3 in a hole near the spawner so it stops spawning others

[prime quest]

ill try that, ty 🙂

[lilac coyote]

No, don't believe so. Have you checked the list?

[noble tapir]

haven't done it in a while, but last time, i used hanging braziers to get the spawn drops for BF mobs.

[lilac coyote]

Cool, just checking you didn't think I just meant wall pieces etc.

[noble tapir]

well, your suggestion of campfires and crafting bench doesn't stop the spawner, right?

[prime quest]

I just tried, they didn't.

[lilac coyote]

Should do.

Don't tend to intentionally say things that aren't true.

[prime quest]

Maybe its bugged and i should reopen my game xD

[frosty frost]

Player base items do not stop the physical spawners like body piles or greydwarf nests from spawning enemies,but they do stop repeating spawnpoint like the geysirs in swamps for example 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Huh, that's on me then.

[frosty frost]

You are right too often, gods had to do something about that eventualy 😉

[lilac coyote]

Lol. I'll take that. Right, added a note on the Wiki. Silly game not doing what I thought it did.

[prime quest]

Or its the Mandela effect

😛

[lilac coyote]

No.

[ripe bone]

bread

[real nebula]

is a plains tier stamina food item, yes

[fluid nova]

quick ? how do i get my steam id 64??

nvm

[snow vault]

is it better to play at unlimited rate or 60 fps ? for a 60 fps screen

[prime quest]

Does the fire effect itself anything?

Couse it just says something like "its warm"

[ripe bone]

wat

[charred fable]

Depends on your rig, but generally you're gonna wanna lock your framerate if you can (especially once you hit Ashlands and all manner of 💩 spawns all the time).

[snow vault]

and should i use vsync ?

[charred fable]

Dunno about that one. I usually use vsync in most games, as a rule, to avoid screen tearing issues. What gfx card are you running?

[prime quest]

Talking about the fire effect, If you re nearby a campfire for example

i know it removes the wet or cold effect

[frosty frost]

Better rest and scares some creatures

[scenic sundial]

Turnips still spawn in the uh swamp yeah? having a hard time finding any

[noble tapir]

the seeds do, yes - yellow flower, but fairly rare

[ebon marsh]

They can be hidden in between the trees and even in the huge trees so I recommend being thorough with your search

[little trench]

#building-tips message

[fluid crest]

is there a special place I should start my big base? is on the first zone close to the black forest good enough? or should I look for smth specific

[little trench]

if u want chill, do in meadows and have nearby black forest. otherwise id recommend black forest

if u're in later stage of the game, id recommend basing in plains

[fluid crest]

i'm very early, just unlocked the 2 boss on the map.

ok perfect I have the spot already then

• i died by going to the swamp by accident with my raft lmao a ghost or smth jumpscared me to death, I wonder how i'm gonna get my gear back

[little trench]

ouch ya be careful about doing anything at night. u should build to muscle memory to always go to bed when night

u can prolly just boat back and get ur stuff

[fluid crest]

thing is I went there on foot then built a raft trying to get back quicker, spoiler alter, I just died even further lmao

[scenic sundial]

ty

[scenic sundial]

how rare? gone through 2 swamps, 0

[noble tapir]

rare enough that i can't remember seeing any for a while, even though i recently farmed 2 swamps 😦

[scenic sundial]

yeah

slowly going through bonemasses swamp for some. but the longer youre in the swamp the more difficult it gets with all the abominations summoned and stuff. i just do not want to deal with them lol.

[steep tusk]

Rare as in "you won't see them till you stop looking, and once you don't need them anymore you'll see them everywhere."

[scenic sundial]

correct

[steep tusk]

Turnips suck to find because the dark yellow against the dark Swamp is... dark.

[noble tapir]

yah, they used to be a lot more common, and onions used to grow in the mountain ground 😄

[leaden crystal]

Okay genuine question how do i...sigh how do i keep the bees happy?

Or like will something make them angry, do i need light nearby?

[turbid maple]

They need open space, bees get angry if attacked by enemies

i believe it depends on the little hole the building is facing

angry bees will poison you and enemies, but calm down after a bit

[leaden crystal]

oooh oke thank you

[turbid maple]

bee poison does little damage

they deal enough/tank enough to kill a greydwarf/greyling but just wall them off with stakes

[steep tusk]

People still die to it in the Meadows 😁

[turbid maple]

yeah if you're freshly naked and without food, oof

[frail cave]

less than 60% of these invisible rays have to hit a solid object for the hive to produce honey

-# and as for anger, that's not really a state, a beehive just spawns a lil bit of poison aoe around it whenever it takes damage, shouldn't affect honey production...assuming the hive survives the attack

[little trench]

welp since you're early in the game, prolly had nothing super important anyway

[loud linden]

Put the hives on the roof of your house. Space seems less important somehow. (Edit: and makes them much easier to protect)
#screenshots message

[thorn spire]

I put mine on the roof of my boar enclosure

[loud linden]

Sure. The point was use the roof.

[thorn spire]

Exactly

[fluid crest]

nothing super important juste the best things I had^^

[noble vault]

Does block armour have any effect on damage a player takes when they're not blocking?

[frail cave]

no

[noble vault]

that's a shame, I like being able to cheese

[ebon marsh]

That’s what defence is for lol

[leaden crystal]

apparently there's supposed to be a menu when i press F5 but nothing happens, F2 works tho

[true steeple]

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

[leaden crystal]

ty :3

[leaden crystal]

uuhm theres supposed to be a reveal map command?

[true steeple]

devcommands -> exploremap

[leaden crystal]

Thaaank you, but does revealing the map count as me being there?
when deep north comes out, will it be pre-loaded and not updated?

[true steeple]

It doesn't load anything, it just reveals the map texture

[leaden crystal]

alr thank you

[little trench]

what polearm lvl to stagger morgen on vh with himmini?

so testing myself, lvl 46 not enough but lvl 81 enough

[true steeple]

On vh you'll need to deal 685.7 stagger to stagger a morgen
Considering resistances and weakness, himminafl secondary will do 723 stagger at level 3 before being reduced by your skills.
685.7 is close enough to 95% of 723 so you need at least 67 skill (65.2 - 95.2% damage), and higher skill will increase the chance of dealing enough damage.

[little trench]

anyway lvl 80 felt the most consistent

dont tihnk i did any staggers actually on lvl 75

[true steeple]

When you can upgrade your himminafl to level 4, you'll need a minimum of 55 skill

[true steeple]

It's possible, but unlikely because of random damage

Unless your himminafl wasn't level 3/4

[little trench]

lvl 80 polearm dont even stagger valk on vh wew

melee so cucked

[strong geyser]

how long it take for asksvin eggs to hatch

[frosty frost]

30 minutes

[echo sparrow]

the difficulty sliders just seem to break balance entirely

like it's a whole different meta because of what you can and can't parry at a given food armor (and skill level) mix, same with attacks staggering, # of attacks to kill and be killed--all the "usual" expectations out the window, and in a way that doesn't uniformly make everything some equal amount more difficult, it seems SOME things are then WAY worse/harder than others

e.g. staying at range starts looking WAY BETTER

[arctic monolith]

hey guys im a returning playing from launch. do i need to generate a new world in order tro have new content like ashland and mistland? or my old seed from way back have new content as well

[true steeple]

New content generates in unexplored areas

[arctic monolith]

i see thanks

what kind of gear should i have before i attempt moder?

[strong geyser]

how long it take for askvin to grown from hatchling to adult

[true steeple]

Silver or fenris armor, a silver shield and a silver weapon (if you only have frostner, make a fang spear or use an old iron weapon)
Bring the best food you can make too

[arctic monolith]

melee instead of range ?

[true steeple]

Use melee when she lands and a bow when she's in the air. Use obsidian arrows

[arctic monolith]

ic thx

[true steeple]

Making a terrain pillar before the fight will help because you can use it as an indestructible shield for the projectile attack she uses when flying

[arctic monolith]

got it

[strong geyser]

how long it take for askvin to grown from hatchling to adult

[frosty frost]

50 minutes 🙂

but you dont have to be near for that

[mellow lodge]

you don't need to be near the eggs for hatching either. I'll drop 20 eggs in a spot, then go do something else, then come back after 30 minutes to force them to hatch. then go do something and come back against later to get them to be adults

[strong geyser]

do i need to split stacks for eggs?

[strong geyser]

.

or make drop them as single eggs

[mellow lodge]

yes, it's a pain in the ass that you have to drop them 1 at a time

[strong geyser]

ty for confirmation

[last osprey]

one more reason to build a chicken tower. That way you don't have to pick them up at all.

[unkempt lichen]

hello, can anyone help me get sum wolf armor? 🙂 kinda struggling

[static steppe]

What part are you struggling with? Getting wolf hides?

[unkempt lichen]

with the cold, and the mobs 😆

but i wanna make sum progress

[static steppe]

Ah. Have you got the mats to make a wolf fur cape?

That's all you need to keep warm

[frail cave]

are you using frost resistance meads?

[static steppe]

Those are vital

[unkempt lichen]

no cuz i die at the snow

+wolfs kill me

[static steppe]

Frost resist meads are a must

[mellow lodge]

in my use case, i'm hatching a bunch of askvins out in the Ashlands at my portals/wherever. I'm not building a tower to do that in all the different spots. At my main base, I have an asksvin breeding tower to pump out eggs.

[static steppe]

The wolves can be hard when you first get to the mountains, too

[unkempt lichen]

yea im tied of loosing my shit lol

[static steppe]

I bet!!

[unkempt lichen]

do i need a bee farm for this mead?

[subtle parrot]

Yes, it'll be better than trying to find it in the wild every time you need it

[unkempt lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/dead-gif-5848418847127216186

[static steppe]

Okay, go make yourself some frost resist meads. Honey, thistle, bloodbags and greydwarf eyes

You'll need to make a fermenter

If you know of a little Mountain, then that might be easy to start off. The small mountains can often spawn wolves and not much else, so you'll have less to deal with

[unkempt lichen]

bet

[static steppe]

Have you upgraded your weapons and armour and shield to the max? That'll help too

[unkempt lichen]

yes

im archer with root armor

[static steppe]

Okay. You might need to make some fully upgraded iron armour. At least some of it. Even just the helm will help boost your armour level

[subtle parrot]

I'd suggest making an iron mace as well

[static steppe]

And wolves attack too fast to make a bow an easy weapon to use. You may need to make a knife or sword, and a shield

[unkempt lichen]

yea i got iron axe upgraded to 3 and an iron shield

[subtle parrot]

Iron axe is okay, but it's better as a tool than a weapon tbh

[unkempt lichen]

oh

[static steppe]

The shield will be necessary, for sure. I agree with the axe not being great as a weapon. It's kinda slow. But I know some people like axes. An aetgir, sword, or knife will do more damage to most enemies, and a mace will cover the rest

[unkempt lichen]

tbh i only like the axe cus of the fashion lol

[true steeple]

Axe secondary isn't very good, it's just a 1.5x damage and knockback multiplier. It does have turnspeed though, which many secondary attacks don't have.

[static steppe]

I'd make yourself an iron helm and upgrade it fully. Perhaps even a full set of iron gear, if you still struggle. Then make a mace and a sword or aetgir or knife.

Even a mace will work against wolves

[echo sparrow]

doesn't hurt to level axe skill for the genuinely good axe weapons later but also strong argument to be made favoring axes as a free slot (no extra slot required for axe + weapon) and while that does make its durability do "double duty" IME durability is almost never a significant limiting factor/issue

[bold parcel]

Guys, I think i'm going about the mistlands wrong...

i've been laying a big ole line of the mist torches, and digging my way through giant rocks to find lowlands

Mined out 1 giant, was kind of pointless considering I need those black cores...

It's been like 2 weeks, it's so slow compared to the other biomes

[echo sparrow]

that's probably a great way to terraform it
but very slow

what you probs should be doing/what i think most people do, is beeline to the feather cape then just climb and hop from peak to peak and down into the valleys to explore

i don't bother with the wisp torches, just the wisplight, in areas i don't intend to 'pacify' (build in and/or return to regularly)

[last osprey]

Instead of trying to force your way through shit terrain just sail around until you find a border with another biome, then land there and circle around for a decent entry point.

[echo sparrow]

it gets a lot easier once you acquire the feather cape (watch gjall's fire attack tho) because you can just freely jump even with no visibility and not worry about being killed or set up to be killed by massive HP loss due to falling damage

and you can glide around the place using the varying heights

[bold parcel]

I was worried about doing that.. won't seekers just gank me?

[last osprey]

You can also find mines and dvergr towers in mist-free spots with a little patience.
Memorize the rock formation on the left, those are ALWAYS infested mines and you can spot them from a large distance when you climb above the mist.

[echo sparrow]

not really when you can just easily outmanuever them in the same terrain esp. with the feather cape, and even in padded max on regular difficulty I think you should be able to parry and then kill them pretty efficiently

definitely once you get carapace, or magic, the seekers (without stars) shouldn't really be a problem

[last osprey]

seekers die to 2-3 hits from a maxed frostner and the silver shield is enough to block them. If you get starred ones use Bonemass forsaken power.

[bold parcel]

Do you guys kill the dvergrs before you get black cores?

[last osprey]

depends on how many of them there are and if there's any crates around

[frosty frost]

You dont need to kill any really, tho it requires some cheeze tactics 🙂

[echo sparrow]

you don't TECHNICALLY need to even kill them but you're intended to/it's faster, but you are forced to

[last osprey]

usually i just destroy the ward though and leave them alive since they don't drop a lot

[echo sparrow]

it doesn't need to be before cores, but to get the feather cape, you will have to at least one set, to get what they're guarding

(there's cheese ways to avoid aggroing them tho if desired)

and there just aren't a lot of uses for what you can do with the cores (a few good weapons mostly what comes to mind) WITHOUT the things the dwarves are guarding

[bold parcel]

And do find the mines, you go up high?

[subtle parrot]

They can be at water level

[steep tusk]

I don't ever kill dvergers 😭😭

[last osprey]

yes, look for that rock formation and for dvergr towers, those are the possible two mine entrances.

[subtle parrot]

Dvergr are friends, not food

[bold parcel]

okie

[frosty frost]

Look for blue lanterns 🙂

[echo sparrow]

yeah those fucking mines, i have a DEVIL of a time finding

[bold parcel]

I've learnt my lessons pretty quickly, and setup food first, before any real biome stuff

[echo sparrow]

blue laterns are the only way i do find them lol, just check out all blue laterns

[frosty frost]

Not really 😄 they have kinda specific rock formation above them (at least the ones with big staircase) but you would have to really know what to look for

[echo sparrow]

I mean for me--i have a hrd time distinguishing the repeat features

the lanterns stand out most and I can then get near enough to see if there's an entrance or not

i love the whole mistalnds and concept, including the ever controversial mist, but still maintain the mist clearing options need to be better--upgrade tiers for wisplight giving it more clearing power and a post-biome massive radius clearing construction IMO

[last osprey]

If you're patient you can usually find a mine or two in mist-free areas just by sailing around Mistlands coast

[bold parcel]

EVERY time i go up high. gjall

Sure, i need the bilebags eventually, but GJALL

[subtle parrot]

Shoot it in the belly

[bold parcel]

I've killed multiple. but I know that being up high, plus being hit is a death sentence

[subtle parrot]

You can usually get a couple sneak attacks on it before it sees you and can deal a good amount of damage to them

[subtle parrot]

Bring a few spare fire wine with you

[bold parcel]

Got me 5 😄

[echo sparrow]

yeah if they spot you, and you're high, it's a lot harder to have the space to dodge their attacks safely witout falling off a cliff--which is a good reason that feather cape ,though it does technically make you very weak to their fire damage, makes it easier IMO on balance because you can just jump off any direction more or less safely (you might have enemies waiting down below, but you'll usually be able to outrun and manuever them, the biggest danger really is falling in water because of all the slowed speed and time it takes to get out) to avoid gjall attacks, and when you're that much more manuverable they'll have a hard time keepign up with you

[bold parcel]

yeah this exactly

[echo sparrow]

this is a good idea to reduce gjall damage even before its' doubly important when using feather cape to negate the fire dmg extra weakeness

[last osprey]

You could just wear fenris instead. The movement speed helps a lot when climbing too (higher speed reduces stam cost for jumping and dodging) and you can still block non-starred seekers with a (maxed) BM shield as long as you eat two health foods.
It also means you can just walk to dodge most attacks with a little practice without wasting stamina.

[bold parcel]

ugh... this is just too annoying to play, I've gone a whole day trying to get up 1 mountain with 2 gjalls

Hell of a grind just to wait around for gjalls to appear

[echo sparrow]

it feels real good when you finally gear up enough you can just murder everything and race through the mistlands with impunity (during the day, to be clear)

[bold parcel]

I thought the swamp was slow

[echo sparrow]

lol, you just got accustomed to 2 biomes speeding by with the last 2 prior being mountains then plains

game reminding you what BF and Swamp progression were like

[bold parcel]

true that

On the upside, got an extractor without making any dvergr angry

[subtle parrot]

Now you can start extracting sap from yggdrasil roots

[bold parcel]

Gotta run all the way back and get the black iron -.-

I'll do it later.. it's not that important at the moment..

[subtle parrot]

I'd find a nice spot to put a hut near the roots and put a portal in it for easy future access

[bold parcel]

Do some people really play this game no portal / no map?

[subtle parrot]

I tried it once, gave up after making it to the mountains tbh, it's not for everyone lol but some folks do it, somehow

[bold parcel]

I'm still struggling to understand how the player is supposed to block, move forward, then attack, when the enemy can already attack you

I am forced to take damage to attack.

[subtle parrot]

Dodge, then you don't have to block

[bold parcel]

Yeap. Why are tower shields in this game?

[subtle parrot]

Blocking bosses

[bold parcel]

I found a mine!

[subtle parrot]

Now let's hope it's bountiful

[last osprey]

dodge, parry, use long reach weapons like atgeir or 2h hammer, use atgeir stun.
Also learn the reach of your weapons and how long attacks take. The mace secondary staggers or knocks back most things and has a very long reach for a 1-hand weapon.

Or just shoot things with frost arrows. That works against pretty much everything in Mistlands if you don't mind farming obsidian.

[subtle parrot]

Also frostner

[little trench]

ya learning range of ur weap is important. can bully mobs out of range

[bold parcel]

Is it worth building paths through the mistlands? seeing as I really can portal everything out

[last osprey]

not really. The only places worth returning to are infested mines and you can just put a portal right at the entrance to those.

[bold parcel]

I just think corpse retrieval would be hellish

[last osprey]

craft a spare wisplight (they're cheap), place plenty of portals and don't be shy about kiting enemies into dvergr to kill them for you. One point in favor of leaving them alive.

or do you mean from mines specifically? You can just clear those by throwing ooze bombs from safe ledges and hitting stuff through walls with the iron sledge if you have to.

[bold parcel]

Nah, getting to the mines.

Should be able to slowly bonemass my way through that too

[last osprey]

as i said above, your best bet is circling around the Mistlands until you find a mine near the border

trying to find a mine blindly in the middle of the Mistlands is just an exercise in frustration if you don't know what to look for

[bold parcel]

Got 1 core.. 4 more to go!

[echo sparrow]

IKR

if it makes you feel any better the RNG is such you can get like 8 or something--many--in just one mine

[steep tusk]

Finding them is difficult?
Hard maybe?
Hard cores? 😛

[echo sparrow]

but also, you can i think LITERALLY none too

[uncut forge]

Is there some way to remove it?

[little trench]

lmao

[bold parcel]

Yeeah... it's hard.

but at least I got some stronger healing potions

I can safely say i've explored that area.. now to find a new mistlands.

I did the same thing in the swamplands, kept finding "mini" biomes, and not finding any major structures

Do you guys bother mining the entire giant bodies?

[unkempt lichen]

do i need upgarded cauldron? cus i cannot make it doesnt give me the recepie

[static steppe]

You need to make a mead kettil

[unkempt lichen]

oh okay ty

[static steppe]

No worries

[bold parcel]

Using a black iron axe doesn't seem to work against seekers.

Their poke outrages me, my tower shield knocks them back.

[ebon marsh]

You’re better off using the frostner it makes them more manageable, as well as a lighter shield you can parry with

[true steeple]

Tower shields are supposed to knock things back. They have significantly higher block force than other shields

Seekers are short so jumping is very effective against them

[bold parcel]

Yeah, i've made it this far with tower shields, but i'll switch to a basic one next.

[ebon marsh]

Black metal sword and atgeir also work fairly well due to fast attack speed and long range

[bold parcel]

Yeah, the axe is slow, but it's really a tool more than anything

[ebon marsh]

If you are a fan of axes there is an axe in the mistlands you unlock that would serve you better but once again it’s still getting used to the slower attack speed of axes against seeker enemies and making sure you fight them on flat terrain as much as possible

But I do see the axe working well as a jump middle attack onto their back depending on how well you can pull that off

[true steeple]

Axe secondary isn’t great, it’s only 1.5x damage and knockback. The only good thing it has is that you can turn while using it, which most secondary attacks don’t allow.

The primary is relatively good for combat though

[ebon marsh]

It’s not great but it will allow you to hit them while on top of them right? Or does the attack hitbox not reach that low

[hardy latch]

why do i die when tree fall on me

[true steeple]

It only reaches a 45° angle below the player so you’d need to be quite far back, but it should reach low enough if you are

[ebon marsh]

Tree big tree heavy, Viking small and made of flesh

[true steeple]

Because headache

[hardy latch]

i thought when you broke the bottom they were supposed to float

like minecraft

[true steeple]

If you’re very very lucky they can be perfectly balanced

[ebon marsh]

if you are lucky it will stay balanced and remain perfectly upright

[hardy latch]

why cant i find the thing to tell me where the planis boss is

[ebon marsh]

You’ll find it in a stone structure somewhere in the plains, just keep searching and you’ll find it eventually

[hardy latch]

ok

[bold parcel]

Stamina needs to scale its regen better...

[lilac coyote]

It does?

Almost certainly you're not eating right.

[true steeple]

You could make some tasty or stamina meads (or both) if you want stamina faster

[bold parcel]

Went 2 hp 1 stamina... i really feel like it's the base regen, just a bigger bar, but maybe I'm wrong

[subtle parrot]

Use the forcedelete command
Forcedelete 50 spawnID
SpawnID being whatever you used to spawn it in with
50 being the radius in which you are deleting

[lilac coyote]

Regen is based on your max stamina so it will make a difference.

[bold parcel]

ok

20 days into mistlands.. 1 black core and 1 dvergr component.

[chilly shadow]

Another issue could be if you're not keeping your rested bonus up.

[bold parcel]

Once you get to 20 mins, it's a good timer to tell you when it's getting dark

[chilly shadow]

True, but i believe day time is 15 so any time after 15 is pretty good.

[bold parcel]

21/9 i believe

I have a big base, and the thought of converting it to black marble -.-

almost 1 black metal chest full of marble..

[subtle parrot]

I would just make accents with the marble tbh

[chilly shadow]

That sounds horrid, are you just doing it for the look?

[bold parcel]

Would have thought a gjall attack would be a problem though

[chilly shadow]

Ehhhh idk, I only build FOBs outside of my main base.

So they tend to be small and functional.

[subtle parrot]

Not usually, if you're under attack just run outside, they'll come to you and leave your base alone

[bold parcel]

Do you guys go the big or small blocks for buildings?

[unkempt lichen]

do you think two frost resistance mead buys me enough time to craft a wolf cape atleast?

[true steeple]

One base crafts six meads which lasts an hour in total

You should be able to make the wolf cape or chestplate in that time

[static steppe]

Two batches of them should, but it's hard to say. It depends on how much luck you have getting what you need

You'll need an iron pickaxe too, for silver

[unkempt lichen]

oh okay so i should use the mead base on the fermenter?

[static steppe]

Yep 😊

[unkempt lichen]

do i need silver for cape too?

[static steppe]

Yeah

[unkempt lichen]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-gif-2552449561869049764

[static steppe]

4 silver, I think

And a wolf trophy

And wolf hides

Its been a while since I made one. I usually go straight for fenris gear

But that's not as easy to get

[unkempt lichen]

thats cancer, that i need silver for a cape

[true steeple]

Silver isn’t particularly difficult to get

[unkempt lichen]

[pallid geode]

any tips for beating elder having trouble with maxed out bronze armor and gear

[subtle parrot]

Shoot it with fire

Use the pillars as cover from it's range attack, if you see roots growing move to another pillar, and just keep shooting it with fire arrows. If you wanna do melee watch out for his stomp, don't try to block, just dodge it. Eat good food and you should be fine.

[noble tapir]

axe, slice slice roll dodge, slice slice roll dodge, then walk away until you get your stam back

[turbid maple]

Graphics and mechanics, also sound

Personal favorite thing to unwind with is getting on a throne and watching your little idle animations

[burnt gazelle]

question about the dual-wield weapons: are they just a functionally worse version of what a one-hand weapon at the same level would be, because you can't use a shield with them? does anything good come from them being a pair? other than looking cool, of course

[true steeple]

They have more damage than expected to make up for the missing shield, and are better at blocking than the 1h weapon

And you’ll have more movespeed because a shield slows you down

[compact heath]

One of the imp best weapons is a dual wield.

[sinful dove]

hey does anyone know why my friend is really fast when he joins the server, and anytime he gets hit it launches him into space

[noble tapir]

couple things: they stagger faster, swing faster, and have awesome backstab damage

[glass bluff]

Does anyone know if Valheim is an easy game to play and navigate?

[true steeple]

Skoll and Hati's backstab is the same as any other knife (6x), and berserkir axes backstab is the same as other axes (3x)

[noble tapir]

Ok, that's why i said "awesome", not higher

[frosty frost]

You will not have many problems with knowing what to do if you will listen to the raven 😄 (lots of people for some reason hate him and ignore him and they are surprised they don't know what to do after)

[little trench]

kinda. i remember when i was new i didnt understand how to cook food for example

mostly easy

[glass bluff]

Do people have multiplayer Discord Servers which I can join and do it as a multiplayer?

[turbid maple]

yah, plenty of people - you can search in #1024264966712340510 for people to play with

[little trench]

ya apparently, ive never joined any tho

[frosty frost]

Yep you can look through the #1024264966712340510 as said above 🙂 tho i highly encourage you playing ať least the first playthrough solo, since you will have to explore all mechanics yourself.

[neon vale]

if i were to copy everything from my g-portal FTP... the entire directory with everything in it, and then paste it to a fresh g-portal server and overwrite all the original stuff... would it load my world just the same on the new server?

i've never tried doing it on a remote server, i only transfered stuff from a local save to a dedicated server a rly long time ago. i don't wanna lose my world while moving if possible.

i would want to keep all of the same mods, etc, so there wouldn't be any conflicts from changing settings etc.

[stiff frigate]

Does somebody know how to fix this whenever i try to remove the dirt from my base by using the hoe it never works i cant remove the dirt

[turbid maple]

you need a pickaxe

[proud socket]

If I skip certain progression bosses, which boss invasion event would happen?
Is it the one right before the skipped boss, or one after the last killed one?

[frail cave]

both

each boss kill just disables the previous one's raid/s and enables the next set

so say if you kill everything up to moder except the elder, you'll still get "the forest is moving" and yagluth's invasion

[proud socket]

alright thanks

[ebon flower]

can someone help me retrieve my items?

i need a karve.. lol

ez game

its my char i made when the game was still in beta

and i completely forgot about it

[loud linden]

The game is still in beta...

[frail cave]

it left beta on feb 2nd 2021

everyone who had the game before it went into early access got beta tester rewards in the form of an odin hood, cape and drinking horn

[loud linden]

It's 'Early Access'. What's between beta and release?

[frail cave]

early access in this case :>

[loud linden]

I see. I guess I stand corrected. Please let me know if you know who coined the term 'early access' as a tier between beta and official release so I can punch them in the face.

[chilly shadow]

First "early access" game i remember is prolly Ark, so I say we blame Wildcard. Lol

[loud linden]

I blame everyone who just went, "yeh, that sounds reasonable".

[south pebble]

what enemies raid base after killing elder?

💀

how many trolls come?

[frail cave]

2 at a time. as usual, whenever you kill one, another spawns in the distance as long as the invasion is still going

killing the elder also unlocks the swamp invasion though, which spawns draugr and skeletons

that one is disabled again after the swamp boss is killed, but the troll invasion stays forever

[void zealot]

Is there a way to make the text chat not confined to proximity? I don't like having to switch between discord and the game chat depending on who I'm trying to talk to.

Is there any way to let 26 degree wood beams reach out 5 on their own? I see tutorials where people do this and i'm not sure what im doing differently.

[void zealot]

If you're trying to cycle snapping press C or E.

[static steppe]

Prop them all up from the ground with poles while you extend them out to meet in the middle. They may or may not stay supported once you remove the prop. Core wood works better too

Otherwise reduce the height of your walls a little, and that might extend your reach outwards

Or do criss-cross designs

[chilly shadow]

👀

That looks sick, I never even thought of doing a crosshatch

[static steppe]

I was stuck on how to roof a circular building, and just kept adding core wood beams at 90° to each of the walls, and got that kind of result. I've done things different each time I build one

[chilly shadow]

Our main hub also ended up starting as a circular building but the host ended up giving up on roofing it completely so it looks kinda like a donut, I would go feral for triangle foundations for all the materials since atm only black marble gets them iirc

[static steppe]

I'm going to have to do a video on how to make one I think, lol

Donuts are good for trees!!

[chilly shadow]

True, but we ended up putting all our forged there to keep our production stations close together.

Plus I know someone would get lazy any chop them down and damage something. Lol

[normal anvil]

What does cooking level do again?

[noble vault]

LETS GO GAMBLING! /j

[static steppe]

Why make bread into coal?

[normal anvil]

Bread 👍

[static steppe]

Bread is great!

[normal anvil]

Yes

[static steppe]

My favourite bum around base stamina food

[normal anvil]

Isn’t plains the 5th biome? Also what’s after ashlands? Or is there nothing yet

[noble vault]

My thinking is:

• I don't need bread at this stage
• Barley is the easiest thing to get a lot of very quickly
• Coal is less plentiful

[true steeple]

Deep north will be after ashlands when 1.0 releases

[noble vault]

So it becomes a good way to power level both farming and cooking without the annoyances of getting lots of ingredients

[normal anvil]

Ah nice, can’t wait

[static steppe]

You don't keep low stat food for eating when farming and doing other base activities?

[noble vault]

I don't really have a reason to keep super low stat food
