[ebon marsh]

I guess it would be useful in mistlands against gjall

[last osprey]

yes. It keeps the rain of my wooden decorations.

And i have a lot of excess black cores since i like exploring Mistlands

[little trench]

oh nice, didnt know that. rain doesnt dmg the shield right?

[bold parcel]

Nope

[little trench]

is there anything that dmgs the shield outside of ashlands?

[bold parcel]

Gjalls i suppose?

[true steeple]

Any enemy projectiles will damage it

[little trench]

would enemies try to dmg it?

like stand outside and shoot

i assume they dont do any dmg to it unless they hit the bubble shell

[last osprey]

if they have a target inside the shield to attack, yes

they don't attack the bubble itself

[bold parcel]

Come to think of it, You're really have to position it well

[little trench]

but the bubble is kinda huge so i dont ever see them dmging it

[last osprey]

you can shoot through it if you're close to the edge and multiple shields link up

[light depot]

Hi, I just wanna ask of there are mods that I can install on my client and log in on a vanilla dedicated server, and I would be the only one that would benefit from the said mod

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion could get better answers

[bold parcel]

And what did we learn today kids? ticks don't float in valheim

[willow raft]

That must really tick them off.

[bold parcel]

When you guys do food prep, how much do you make at a time?

[true steeple]

I made 20 queens jam and minced meat sauce earlier

[bold parcel]

I've been doing batches of 10, then adventuring, but it goes so quickly

Even food that lasts 25 mins

[turbid maple]

make a stack or refill

if i got excess, make stacks of food and shove it in a chest

[little trench]

keep 3x foods (10x each) in inventory and then another batch

[frosty frost]

Usualy as much as i can

[willow raft]

I try to go for a stack or two, so like 20 a pop, when I get to 5 I'll make a new batch.

[chilly shadow]

I tend to play with my friends so theres anywhere from 2 - 5 of us on at any moment. So we really stay on top of food production

[frosty frost]

Even tho i play solo i like to have 4-5 stacks at least as reserve XD when i get to 2-3 stacks in the chest i am starting to think i have to make more

[bold parcel]

Something tells me i should have had more than 4 chicken coops then

[frosty frost]

I just keep chickens in a pen

[last osprey]

build a breeding tower instead. They spit out an insane number of eggs with 4 breeding pairs.

[loud linden]

Even digital animals have rights

[last osprey]

Food doesn't have rights in my world when it comes to efficiency.

[willow raft]

I do both, a normal chicken coop in the base for aesthetics and some small amount of eggs for when I don't need much.
Somewhere else I'll build a breeder or two and have them mass produce eggs, chicken meat and feathers for when I need a whole lot.

[chilly shadow]

How many bee hives is to many bee hives?

[true steeple]

There is no too many. We can’t have any unhappy bees

[willow raft]

I like to have 25, so a round trip give me 100 honey.

[frosty frost]

I just have as many as i found queens 😄

[loud linden]

Then you just don't harvest them when you have more than enough.

[limber steppe]

Is anyone else experience massive desync in ashlands when in multiplayer?

[bold parcel]

Has anyone actually gone 3xhp foods? To be an uber tank?

[subtle parrot]

I did in my first test of ashlands on very hard, any other situation is overkill on hp

[bold parcel]

I got another question, any really good tutorial / let's plays? i'm really struggling on mistlands in these dungeons

[subtle parrot]

I learned a lot from a guy on YouTube called Hiccup the Hermit, not any real tutorials but he has fun playing the game

[bold parcel]

Thanks!

[uncut osprey]

Hello, why i dont have any potions for craft? I have polish language.

[last osprey]

there's a new crafting station just for mead now

[uncut osprey]

oh thanks

[cosmic cedar]

Hello, I have a question

are all the swamps so small?

I just found two adjacent ones and the both of them are very tiny

Is the iron grind gonna consist of just trying to find these tiny swamp biomes?

[frail cave]

due to how they populate land and generate, they're incidentally more likely to be tiny in practice than other biomes, but there are big swamps too

[cosmic cedar]

ok ty

Another question

what should I do first, explore the swamps or build a proper base?

[true steeple]

Do whatever you feel like doing

[cosmic cedar]

ok👍

Also is there a reliable way to get queen bees? Or do I have to run around the meadows looking for hives?

[true steeple]

You can only find them in structures in meadows and black forest

[cosmic cedar]

ok thanks

[little trench]

build a starter base at least

[cosmic cedar]

Well I have that

[little trench]

ye good enough then

[cosmic cedar]

kk

is there anyway to get rid of this mist??

[chilly shadow]

Wisp Light

[subtle parrot]

Did you build a wisp fountain?

[cosmic cedar]

no what are those?

[chilly shadow]

Or wait, do you mean in the swamp? No.

[subtle parrot]

Have you defeated yagluth?

[cosmic cedar]

I mean this mist

[subtle parrot]

That is fog

[chilly shadow]

Oh, no. That's just there.

[true steeple]

Go to graphics settings and enable soft particles if you haven't already

[cosmic cedar]

ok thank you

[frosty frost]

If it is any help it will not bother you in your house since fire removes it iirc 🙂

[bold parcel]

Question.. is the queen inside if i open the mine up? or do I still have to summon her

[flint yoke]

Is inside

[bold parcel]

Right, i'm guessing i'll need a LOT of health potions

[frosty frost]

I would say one stack is around optimal 🙂

[little trench]

shes inside but not exactly at the entrance

[bold parcel]

Gonna melee the critter, hope it goes somewhat smoothly.

Gonna bring 2xhp, 1xstam, major hp, lingering stam and poison rez

[little trench]

can be a long fight

[bold parcel]

Ye, yagluth was bad enough

Dunno till you try I guess

[frosty frost]

I would say queen take quite a bit longer 🙂

[bold parcel]

problem is she heals as well...

[frosty frost]

All mobs and bosses do 😄

[bold parcel]

Well.. over time

[frosty frost]

100% hp per hour

And if you sleep it also speeds up the healing 🙂

[bold parcel]

With 40 block skill and a max black iron tower shield, i can't block her lol

I have 210 health, think I should have gone 3xhp

[frosty frost]

I had more success with rolling through her attacks, since she literally cant hit you in most of the rolling animation 🙂

[bold parcel]

I'll try

but I'm still not sold on the combat in this game

[frosty frost]

And truth to be told i really dont like the tower shields much 😅 so i dont know about much tactics that would benefit that playstyle

[bold parcel]

I just don't understand their purpose in game... The insane slow along with the inability to effectively use them even with reasonable levelling

Next shield will for sure be a normal one.

[frosty frost]

I very much recomend that you try bucklers 🙂 the parry is so good (tho not for bosses since they cant be staggered and thats main point of parry 😄 )

[bold parcel]

Honestly, I just block with my weapon these days

[frosty frost]

The round "medium" shields are all rounders

[bold parcel]

The hitboxes are so dumb. Like I'm a whole block below her, and she can still do damage

How am I supposed to beat the queen, when the adds take up ALL my fighting time

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frosty frost]

I can wholeheartedly recomend bombs 🙂 bile or even ooze

[bold parcel]

I think i'm capped here, i can't be bothered lol

[frosty frost]

Btw, in the enterence hub she cant get you 🙂

[bold parcel]

I know, i'm stuck there basically

You can't roll both the adds and her at the same time

nah, solo unless you're doing something cheesy it's not fun

[lilac coyote]

Solo is the best way to play.

[frosty frost]

The mobility is very important, thats also part of the reason i dont like tower shield

[bold parcel]

I'm not using the shield

Kill 2 adds, summon 2 adds, I can't even get close

aand dead. yeap.

[frosty frost]

You should be able to kill the adds with 2-3 swings with properly upgraded weapons 🤔 (tho the boss is still doable with lvl1 gear)

[bold parcel]

I do that. then she summons 2 more straight away

[ripe bone]

probably switch to mage if you don't like this fight.

[bold parcel]

If ashlands is gonna be worse i'm not up for any more of it lol

[frosty frost]

Well...

[bold parcel]

Summons 2 adds, burrows away

[true steeple]

The only attack with significant downwards reach is the attack where she hits the ground, reaching 4.26m down

The rest are only 1-1.5m down

[bold parcel]

I'm just... i've lost the will to do this

She just borrows away, summons more

[lilac coyote]

Time to take a break from the game then, I think. Nothing wrong with that.

[bold parcel]

I'm just disappointed

It's not HARD, it's just a slog

[frosty frost]

Try different strategies after you've taken a break 🙂 you will probably find something that will work

[bold parcel]

To be honest mistlands kinda told me the game isn't for me

[true steeple]

What equipment, food and mead are you using currently?

[lilac coyote]

If you've enjoyed it up to the 7th biome, the game is definitely for you.

[bold parcel]

What does it matter? I kill 2 seekers, she summons 2 seekers who swing at me whilst the queen does the same

there aren't enough iframes i'm sorry

[frosty frost]

There is TON of those actually, most of any game i ever played i believe

[bold parcel]

I can't damage her, because it's literally summon > burrow > find her, summon both piles of bugs, attack whilst bugs are around, i back off, kill bugs, then she burrows away and summons more

[true steeple]

Tonic of ratatosk and lightfoot mead will help significantly for reaching her when she teleports

[bold parcel]

Do you guys light up the room or something? i spend too much time looking for her then get butted by seekers by the time I find her

[frosty frost]

No, i just carry the wisp light

[true steeple]

There’s no downside to bringing some wisp torches but they aren’t necessary either

[bold parcel]

I have carapace armour, axe.. and am rolling around, you can't block or parry her, so what

lingering stamina.. well.. HAD now I'm out

[old bronze]

If you have the Demolisher you could lure her next to the entrance and hit her with that

[bold parcel]

not going to cheat the fight, if it's not doable by normal means i'm not interested

[ripe bone]

it is very very doable by normal means

[true steeple]

A shield would definitely help. It seems like you just weren’t prepared enough. There’s nothing wrong with stepping out of the fight and coming back with better stuff

[old bronze]

Should be doable, I got her to half health with Frostner but then decided to cheese a little

[bold parcel]

with what stuff? i have everything upgrade lol

[true steeple]

So you do have a shield?

[bold parcel]

yaeh

[frosty frost]

I can suggest mistwalker and carapace shield or buckler

[bold parcel]

But the queen can't be staggered no?

[old bronze]

No

[frosty frost]

No boss can

[bold parcel]

Then no idea. Seekers take 6 attacks, the queen's attack range is huge, I have no time to do both

So i have to back off

[true steeple]

You could make a mistwalker. It’s very good for the queen and ashlands

[bold parcel]

alright, will do

[true steeple]

Have you done hildir’s dungeons yet? Those will be a good way to get your sword skill up if you need to

[old bronze]

The Demolisher is also handy for swarms (completely wipes off the seeker broods)

[bold parcel]

The queen's at half health.. argh

[compact heath]

I love to either have Demolisher and Mistwalker on hand, and loads of meads, or do mage and use Staff of Embers and Staff of Protection, easiest ways to do her. (I also find Queen harder than the boss after her, personally)

[true steeple]

Since you already have her at half health then you could just keep going and kill her now if you really want to. But you definitely won’t regret making a new weapon for ashlands, jotun bane and bm axe are awful there

[bold parcel]

Honestly axes are just garbage in general, attack speed is so slow

[compact heath]

Jotun Bane is the best Mistlands tier for.... cutting wood, not fighting 🙂

[compact heath]

this changes in Ashlands.... spoilers if you dont want to know

[true steeple]

The secondary isn’t particularly strong either

[bold parcel]

Sure an endgame weapon with a niche usage.. But when everything can swing faster and from further away you may as well be eating sand

[old bronze]

I've never even viewed axes as weapons

[compact heath]

most powerful melee weapon in ashlands according to me and some others are axes, pre ashlands its a bit sucky, you can also use 2h axes though in swamp and mountains they can be fun, I have done a playthrough with them, but there are very unique and have a different fighting style and not very fast

[frail cave]

they're supposed to be balanced around that with their dps being only slightly below swords, but partially because the damage increase per tier seems to have been decided by addition rather than multiplication and because of damage type inequality, jotun bane in particular is a sad joke in combat

[compact heath]

Jotun Bane needs flavour text adding: "This is a woodcutting tool, do not use in combat"

[frosty frost]

Also be careful where you put it since it will drip on your stuff 😛

[idle rose]

Hi, could you explain what versions are there?

[lilac coyote]

I thought the names were quite descriptive.

[true steeple]

Default_old is the version that was active before the most recent patch. The other options are the most recent versions before significant updates.

[idle rose]

no, patch 0.218.21 is good description

[lilac coyote]

It is? How?

Especially as that will only be true until the next patch.

[idle rose]

don't have time for stupid conversation. What patch number is default_preml, default_preal, default_prebw?

[lilac coyote]

I don't have time to answer your question if that's your attitude, frankly.

[idle rose]

TY

[lilac coyote]

How incredibly rude.

[idle rose]

what is the point about talking about is good or not?

[true steeple]

Pre bog witch: 0.218.21
Pre ashlands: 0.217.4
Pre mistlands: 0.211.11

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

[idle rose]

thanks!

[frail cave]

does anyone know if ur able to play modded valheim in multiplayer?

[sharp lark]

when taming wolves, do you have to be in the area?

[turbid flax]

The top of the structure is not supported but i have beams running vertically the whole thing.. any suggestions

[noble copper]

I want to stay spoiler free but Im wondering what the best damage type is for the ashlands, blunt? pierce? slash?

[compact heath]

Spirit and most elemental ones are good (not poison and fire is okay but not the best unless you're already a mage and have high skills) pierce and blunt not great

it of course depends on enemy type to some extent too

[buoyant peak]

#mods-screenshots

[ruby shale]

I need some help with some issues I've been having
I have a massive stutter problem while in the mistlands and at certain times in general
I've narrowed it down to a few causes:

• dungeons loading/unloading

• Seekers make my game just stutter like crazy, both while near them and when they spawn in(which was fine not too long ago)

• My resolution or something similar decides to reset but to the same value it was on. I think it is resolution because the top section of my screen has that weird black resizing thing happen when I change resolutions or go from fullscreen to borderless/windowed. this one happens in multiple games so its might not be a valheim specific issue, although the log points it out whenever it happens

Any help would be appreciated so the mistlands is less of a bog to play through ^-^

[loud linden]

Are you running mods?

[ruby shale]

yes but I haven't seen any indicator in the log that shows the mods are doing anything, and everyone else that I play with does not have any issues. these issues also started happening randomly out of nowhere, I was playing in mistlands just fine for a while and then it started happening for no reason, the only thing I can think of is if one of the mods updated and started causing weird shit to happen

by one I mean one and it would be Jotunn which is the only one I remember to have updated since before I hopped into mistlands

[noble tapir]

I've noticed serious stuttering on loading new areas in single player. Playing on a dedicated server didn't have that issue

[ruby shale]

I'm playing on a dedicated server with a group of people, and the area has been loaded for a while now, ive been trying to explore with the stutters somewhat successfully

but they are constant and really bad

[loud linden]

Well, first thing is turn them all off and see if the problem recurs.

[loud linden]

I have a similar issue in Ashlands. It's unplayable in multi-player, but that seems to be the game itself. I'd also check if you have similar issues in a single-player world to eliminate the dedicated server.

[ruby shale]

I'm going to try that later as that is a whole 3+ hour endevour, not accounting for sea serpents that would demolish a raft and me with it

[loud linden]

Why?

[ruby shale]

rafts are slow and the mists are crazy far away from spawn for a raft to make the trip

[loud linden]

Just use devcommands 'fly' and 'god'

[ruby shale]

didnt think about that

forgot devcommands existed

[turbid maple]

And ghost as well

[bold parcel]

I'll uh.. take another crack at the queen after some more prep and 30-40 sword levels.. Sorry about that last night's frustration. I've shelved my axe for now and made a mistalker

[little trench]

ouch ya sry maybe i misled you when saying keep with axes. for sure use mistwalker for queen

just in ashlands you're gonna craft some axes that you'll 100% love

[bold parcel]

it's all good, i've used them up to this point, along with the towershield, i think if anything the tower shield needs some tweaking, or at least a warning that it's more made for multiplayer

I'll also go ahead and light up the ground with some torches too, think that's needed

I still think the main problem was the loop I got into.

kill adds, queen burrow away (2 levels up)
run to her, oh look more adds.
then burrows away

She almost never attacked

[ruby shale]

alright I loaded a world without r2modman althogether and it seems that my game still has stutter issues but that seems to be just a valheim thing that im going to guess is unloading/loading assets and whatnot, whereas the issues I were having were much worse and much more apparent. def a mod that updated and screwed up my computer issue. I even stress tested it by going full flying speed in the mists and it still just did not have as bad of stutters, I guess Ill just report it to the Jotunn ppl and figure it out from there

[bold parcel]

How do you guys manage stamina in the queen fight?

I've whacked away at her for 15 mins, and done 10% damage lol

[steep tusk]

Tasty Mead.

Also if you're doing less than 1% per minute, your choice of weapon sucks.

[bold parcel]

Mistwalker?

I can get like 3 hits in before I have to roll away

[steep tusk]

Yes. And if you do that for 15 minutes you will be much further along than 10%.

[bold parcel]

she's so big, i can't tell whether she's going to swing her arm or bite lol

[desert wind]

Hello, is my server cooked for the Deep North update? We explored stome stuff in the north

[bold parcel]

This may just be a boss fight i'm not skilled enough to win, i think i'll shelve the game

I kid you not, 10%, repaired mistner twice

[loud linden]

I'd suggest not exploring further, but what you've done shouldn't make a huge difference.

[desert wind]

Thanks, yeah we will avoid the area but we want to know if its doomed or not, we built a nice base etc. and it would be horrendous to give that up because we cant generate the new map content

[loud linden]

Solo Queen is rough. Probably harder than solo Fader (Ashlands).

[true steeple]

What level is the sword and your sword skill?

[bold parcel]

it's now 20, and mistner is max level for mistlands

i honestly just can't get TO her, the adds block everything

[loud linden]

What is 'mistner'?

[bold parcel]

sorry mistwalker

[true steeple]

Are you using any mead or feather cape to increase your mobility?

[steep tusk]

Solo Queen is fine.
Doing 10% damage on a full sword is either a) you're hitting the wall half the time or b) you have it on hardcore difficulty.

[bold parcel]

.. i'm gonna check the server settings again

She's healing more than I can do damage

I've been whacking her for an hour, along with the adds, something is not adding up

[steep tusk]

Difficulty is fucked or you modded the game which fucked something else.

Because in a normal setting, she'd be dead in an hour.

[bold parcel]

Honestly, no mods. Normal setting

[steep tusk]

Something is off.

[bold parcel]

No idea man, she's summoning bugs faster than I can restore my stam and kill them

[steep tusk]

I went in there this run with 0 sword skill and killed her in 20 minutes using Mistwalker and Demolisher for adds.

[bold parcel]

Yep.. wish I had any idea

[steep tusk]

Tasty Mead.

Infinite stamina.

Tasty + Rested is 200% regen.

[bold parcel]

I really don't like it, but i'd say i'm just not good enough at the game then.

[steep tusk]

Probable.

[bold parcel]

I try and only roll when she's attacking, the rest is blocking the minions,

[steep tusk]

Minions should die in 2 hits bring Demolisher or Himmin.

[true steeple]

If you can block her attacks, that will allow you to attack faster because it has less recovery time and stamina cost

I forgot most of her attacks have 250 knockback, never mind

[steep tusk]

No.

[bold parcel]

ugh, she constantly spawns at the top of the map too,

i'm NOT sleeping either, I know that is a thing

[loud linden]

Using Eitr builds might make it easier. You could try summoning skeletons to distract the adds. Bombs are also a good option.

Some kind of AOE is almost mandatory for The Queen.

[bold parcel]

i can't even see her and she does damage with he melee, even with this stupid light

nah, i'm out

gave it a good ole go, it's just not working for me

[agile rapids]

Soooo.... I was waiting for my onions to grow before I fight moder, and I was exploring the plains, and got a nice headstart (y'know, flax barely, some needles) but currently I have a gravestone with all my gear in the dead center of a fuling village, and a portal a 5 min run away. I was using full fenris, and my next best is a huntsman bow, 70 frost arrows, troll armor, and a bronze axe. How do you reckon I should go about getting my stuff back? (Normal difficulty)

[steep tusk]

Go back in time and don't enter the Plains pre-Moder is how I would get the stuff back 🙂

[little trench]

@bold parcel mby take some inspiration from this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPelN2KU2h8

[frosty frost]

Slowly sniping stuff 🙂 make maybe some obsidian arrows also

[bold parcel]

Doesn't matter, i roll through the bite, still does damage to me

[agile rapids]

Makes sense, I'll try using my huntsman bow, a finewood bow(because durability) and all my arrows

[bold parcel]

Nah - have a good one guys, i'll try a different game.

[agile rapids]

Should I try shamans, fulings berserkers, or shamans berserkers fulings?

[bold parcel]

I appreciate the help, i really do, just can't mechanically vibe with it

[little trench]

nah bro just take a small break, watch the vid i linked and have a go at it again. you'll beat it

[bold parcel]

All good, char's deleted already, thanks guys

[frosty frost]

Depends how they are positioned, but shamans always first whenever you see them, then if you can kite them alone bersekers i would say, and whenever some fuling seems alone enough not to alert others when you shoot him

[little trench]

welp hope to see u another time

[little trench]

just go in and take it xD, you might die some times but you'll slowly get out of the camp

take some stamina food

[agile rapids]

Ah hell naw, I'm proud of my run 70

[little trench]

well u have the debuff so u dont lose skill

[frosty frost]

I would say thats a buff actually 😄 (or rather status effect)

[little trench]

is there a nearby tar pit? can try to make them fight some stuff

[loud linden]

If you can recover your gear and still be under 300 encumbrance, it's almost just worth trying to sprint through the danger zone.

[agile rapids]

Nope, 500,000 tar pits all around my ship and portal but none at a the camp

Hmm, I'll try using archery to thin them out then rushing in

[loud linden]

500,000? Wow, you got gypped by the RNG.

On the bright side, your future rooves will be amazing.

[agile rapids]

I'm not kidding, there were 4 tar pits in view of where I docked

[true steeple]

Where were the other 499,996?

[loud linden]

Maybe in some kind of TARdis.

[little trench]

save stamina for dodging projectiles

and goblin bonks

[lilac coyote]

Gypped? That's 499,700 more than the game adds.

[loud linden]

Ta' for that.

[lilac coyote]

I see what you did there.

[loud linden]

I want to post a GIF, but I can't because I'm a lowly 'white name'.

Although, I will say that I pronounced GIF with a hard 'G'.

[lilac coyote]

So correctly.

[agile rapids]

Aw darn, I knew I'm bad at math

[dusty egret]

how can i fix an erratic jumpy mouse that gets me killed during gameplay

[steep tusk]

Buy a new mouse?

[dusty egret]

barring that

[steep tusk]

Steal a new mouse?

[dusty egret]

no clue huh?

[steep tusk]

100% clue.
Problem is mouse.
Replace mouse, problem solved.

[dusty egret]

thanks

[steep tusk]

👍

[frosty frost]

I mean, apart from trying to connect/disconnect it or trying some other mouse there is really nothing that can be done, its not a problem anyone else has atm afaik

[topaz minnow]

Clean the bottom and clean the mousepad

[lilac coyote]

Cleaned bottom unsure how that will affect mouse...

[topaz minnow]

Well I am glad my advice helped someone 😭

[midnight parcel]

last weekend we lost a save hosted on xbox that had about 2 years of work in it, the reddit says its stuck in a corrupted state after you exit the game. all the managed saves appear to be lacking trees, stones, structures, items, mobs, everything is gone. its like an endless terrain and ocean simulation. our inventory is still on us but all our work and the nature that was there before is gone.

has anyone recovered from this issue in this state, or is the world lost?

[true steeple]

If there’s no backups available in the manage saves menu, I’m not sure if there’s anything you can do

[midnight parcel]

i spent this week rebuilding the house we spent our years building in my home world as a monument to our time there

wish there was like a recovery mode. all the managed saves were corruopted the same way. we didn't back it up elsewhere because we thought the other backups would work

[subtle parrot]

You would've had to pay attention to the size of the saves when trying to restore them, if they're not several mb, and only a few kb then that's not going to load what you want. Loading the largest size file you see in the list is usually the best bet to recover most of your work. Even if you end up losing some recent work, it's better than losing everything.

[subtle parrot]

There should be an option to restore corrupted saves. I know there was a while back when I had issues.

[wheat sedge]

is this enough black metal?

[subtle parrot]

As long as you don't plan to use it for storage chests, that should be enough for a sword and shield, maybe

More than enough for a couple of each iirc

[wheat sedge]

im not planning on upgrading anything to the maximum level, probably only level 2, is this enough for getting everything to level 2?

[flint yoke]

It's made with other materials... This is shield&weapon sruff

And storage. That's all until done at plains

[subtle parrot]

For sure, for pickaxe, axe, sword and shield that's only like 100 bm or something like that for level 2's

[static steppe]

Fulings are a black metal delivery service anyway, so it won't be long before you get more, even if you don't need it, lol

[noble tapir]

i'd recommend the pickaxe, axe and shield - sword IMO isn't worth making over a silver sword or frostner, even porkie

[ripe bone]

cuz of the laser tracker or whatever its called, it does weird shit if hairs or dust gets in it

[noble tapir]

he's making a joke...

[frosty frost]

You will want pickaxe and quite likely axe at the highest lvl you can, while mistlands give you technically better axe i don't usually make it as the BM axe Is more than good enough 🙂

[ripe bone]

derek making a joke...impossible 👁️

[frosty frost]

You just have to learn to see them 😉

[noble tapir]

yah, i was really disappointed at the jotunn axe, it's too high of stam use for marginal damage vrs even an iron axe 😦

[ripe bone]

well...like....maybe i meant i had a laser tracker out my ass yknow..

[frosty frost]

Oh it has higher dmg than the BM axe, even without the poison, just the poison dmg Is bit of awkward dmg to use 🙂

[noble tapir]

yah, it def has higher damage, but the stam usage offsets that damage increase (no one uses chopping axes for damage, because they are significantly lower dps than anything else), i should have clarified that i mean for chopping

[low glade]

hello guys. do you know if it is possible to make already created server to work all the time even if host's pc is off

[stoic trench]

Absolutely! One option is to pay for a dedicated server, through a service like G portal or Nitrado.

[torpid raft]

is jotuns bane the best axe rn?

[stoic trench]

Nope, there are some better options I believe.

[true steeple]

It’s the best one-handed axe for woodcutting

[noble tapir]

only if you have high woodcutting skills

very high*

[subtle parrot]

By the time you get a jotun bane that shouldn't be an issue

[spring yarrow]

a draugr has spawned inside of a scrap iron chunk, how may i deal with this 🥲

[gritty warren]

Stagbreaker

Or just try attacking him with a weapon, if I’m correct, you should be able to hit it

[spring yarrow]

ill try atgier aoe first

[gritty warren]

That should probably work too

Unless the draugr is far

[spring yarrow]

yeah it works

[gilded rampart]

I accidently did /spawn and got a stone chest anyway to remove it?

Idc about dev commands anything to remove itplease ping or DM me

[gilded rampart]

its the stone one

hey is there a way I can not make this game absolutely bake my ASUS gaming laptop? I don't have fps issues or lag, its literally just that my laptop is running at 96 degrees and it sucks. This game even runs that hot on the title screen like wtf 😭
here are my specs: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS with Radeon Graphics 3.30 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable)
Some things I have tried:

• going into the game files and adding the code lines 1) gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1 2) gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1
• Changing graphic settings as such
• I just put thermal paste on 1.5 years ago
  -Keeping graphics up to date

Anyone know how to remove a bosses alter and runestone? I have 4 Eikthyr areas almost back to back and I'm playing pretty much "creative mode" so was wanting them gone

[split shore]

Hey I'm new to the game and I was wondering what the best combo of tools are for parrying and dealing damage. Currently I'm just using dagger + buckler shields. Do I just wanna keep on doing that or do better weapons get more mileage out of parries?

[vague goblet]

I'm on a community server where some people have beaten Yagluth but others have just joined and are starting from the beginning, is there any way to prevent fulings from spawning in the meadows for the new people?

[chilly shadow]

No

[frail cave]

it's always x2 damage, as long as your weapon of choice isn't too slow to miss the stagger window, they should all get roughly the same mileage out of parries.
and yea, if you're parrying, always bucklers, their upper limit for parry block armor always exceeds their round shield equivalent's

[split shore]

ok so the weapons all have the same dps if you're just spamming hits, dagger just comes out faster with the moves and has no ms penalty at the cost of much shorter range?

[frail cave]

faster hits do often mean that more of your damage lands within the stagger window, so knives are probably up there indeed

[split shore]

would swords or atgeirs also be up there?

oh wait atgeir is 2h

[frail cave]

2h but with decent blocking/parrying stats

[split shore]

I was parrying with the stagbreaker for a while because I thought block force was the parry stat 💀

[frail cave]

not as fast as knives, but swords are pretty fast still
atgeir's iirc a little slower, and its secondary attack usually makes parries obsolete anyway

the names are pretty misleading and confusing 😅

"parry bonus" for example very much sounds like a damage multiplier, most newcomers understandably interpret it that way

[split shore]

yeah I thought it was like riposte damage in dark souls

it's not as cursed of a system as botw at least, I had to remember formulas and crap for the shields in that game (although omni parry was nice)

parries and iframes from rolling come out deceptively fast in this game which is pretty nice

[frail cave]

i remember watching a video about that once and then immediately forgetting all of it

-# anyway excuse me i gotta hurry to bed, sorry for the bad timing 😅

[split shore]

alright, thanks for all the info and clarification

[hardy veldt]

He might be further. There’s ten randomly placed possible spawn points in a world, and the first one discovered will be his permanent location

[magic bluff]

Hello, I created a dedicated server on my PC, and everything is working fine. My friends can join it using the invite code, but the server never shows up in the community server list. How can I make it appear there? I ask this because sometimes the invite code changes, and I need to check it to inform my friends.

[subtle parrot]

There should be an option to make it a community server when making the server, but #dedicated-server probably will get a better answer there

[little trench]

my friend has 400ms on my server. what can we do so we can duo and its at least playable for both?

[lilac coyote]

Move?

[agile rapids]

That's about as rare as he will get, so you should find him in 2-3 more islands. (I have this problem with hildir)

[near rose]

why cant I remove this with my pickaxe?

[subtle parrot]

It must've started more than 8 meter above where you're trying to build, terrain is only able to be cut down or built up 8 meters from where it originally generated

[near rose]

ok.. maybe I'll use it as a decorative pile of snow in front of my castle then

[split shore]

can I backstab people mid fight or is this only if I sneak up

[true steeple]

A backstab is a hit towards an enemy that isn't targeting anything (no exclamation mark over their head)

[split shore]

ait

also I asked this before but just out of curiosity for a second opinon: does the daggers have the best dps against a parried enemy or are there weapons that compete with it

my current impression is that all weapons have the same dps in their tiers but that it's stuff like range, animations and attack speed that change

[true steeple]

Staggered enemies always take 2x damage from all damage sources, the specific weapon type doesn't matter

[split shore]

ye I was just curious if you got more damage out of it due to other stuff

[short bridge]

Suddenly getting "wrong password" when trying to join game. Double checked password (not caps issue), not doing anything different from normal... Starting the game normally with "start server" checked. Tried restarting game both on host and client side. Client can see the host's game but keeps getting kicked out when trying to enter. Is this a normal issue?

[split shore]

yo I was gonna make a base here and dig into the ground area the area to make like a pit. I was wondering how wide I have to make it in order for trolls to fall in + there being a height difference between the edge of the workbench area will make it difficult like raising the ground and stuff like that. Or if there's anything else I need to be concerned about

[agile rapids]

Thanks for the help, I got my loot back using your advice, and died because I wanted to test if I can block a lox!🥲

I could not

But seriously, how does a lox one-tap me when I eat serpent stew, serpent meat, and sausages? (200 HP) AND block?

[true steeple]

Their strongest attack only has 130 damage

[past compass]

So was maybe more like 2 taps where the first one staggered?

[true steeple]

I don't think lox attack fast enough

[ebon marsh]

You wanna find flat land to make the troll p it tbh

And best to experiment with the width, but if they can’t go across they will just stand around the edge they don’t fall in unless you harpoon them in

[frosty frost]

Turns out they were playing on hard 😄

[gloomy dagger]

tell me about the SkillReductionRate key, whats the default value?

[timber mantle]

Any idea why this boar isn't eating? There's a carot right under his face!

Try moving it away from the fence?

[timber mantle]

it just walked across the little paddock I have, then it walked back to this same spot and is now standing right over the carot again

still not eating it

[safe hatch]

So, Im running a server with a friend, theres any way I can make him the host of the world we have ?

[chilly shadow]

No

If you're the one putting the server up you're host by default i believe

[subtle parrot]

If you're both on pc you should be able to send them the world save files, as long as you have it saved locally and they can load them into their valheim folders and then should be able to host it. But there is no in game way to switch hosts.

[ruby comet]

Is there a console command to clear the mist in mistlands entirely?

[frail cave]

the main mistlands mist is not part of the biome's weather, but rather a collection of particles spawned by an invisible object generated as part of the biome's clutter, which can be deleted with forcedelete 50 MistArea (50 meter radius, which is forcedelete's maximum) as long as it's not one of the mist emitters from a point of interest like a viaduct or jötun skeleton, which are for some reason not deletable even by forcedelete.
also note that the 50 meter radius has to hit the center of each mist area "blob" to delete it, and those blobs are quite huge

[ruby comet]

so just fly around spamming that command til mist goes away pretty much? Does it reset on next login? I don't want it to be permanent

[frail cave]

fortunately the mist emitters are a permanent part of the biome clutter that's never regenerated, just like trees or rocks, so it won't come back~
you can use something like bind G forcedelete 50 MistArea to bind it to a key (in this case G) to more easily spam it, then use unbind G after to clear the bind

[ruby comet]

if I am reading that correctly, it will permanently clear the mist, even after reloading the game

[frail cave]

yepp

[ruby comet]

thanks

[frail cave]

you're welcome!~

Hey all I got a question. I haven't played the game for almost a year, my pc broke and I finally was able to fix it. Any ways it was befor Ashlands came out and I built near the Deep North apparently in the zone they cleand out to seperate the biomes oops. Didnt think they would do that at the same time. Now my base is still there how I don't know but it looks like all they did was drop the land down in the water. I still see tree tops and bigger black forest trees. Is that really what they did to divide out the Ashland and Deep North?

[ebon marsh]

There’s a better way I believe some guy called jp valheim made a video on clearing the mist I’ll see if I can find it

https://youtu.be/IJFLHu-EW60 take a look

Oh it is permanent too, he also shows options to not remove the entire mist but you can decide how much of a percent it removes

[cosmic cedar]

Hello, I'm a little confused

[ebon marsh]

Elaborate

[cosmic cedar]

does it take 1, 2 or 3 coal per item smelted in the furnace?

or is it random?

[ebon marsh]

10 bars should be smelted by 20 coal

[cosmic cedar]

ok, but when I'm smelting individual bars, I notice that sometimes it takes different amounts of coal per ore?

[ebon marsh]

Is this based on perception or have you timed it?

[cosmic cedar]

I just smelted a single copper ore and it took 3 coal

[ebon marsh]

From wiki:

Ingots produced are dropped out in the front of the smelter, indicated by the angled chute. The smelter also requires free space on the left to be filled with ore and on the right to be filled with coal.

The smelter uses approximately one Coal every 15 seconds as fuel. It takes 30 seconds[1] to produce one bar of metal.

It can hold a total of 20 coal and 10 ores.

[cosmic cedar]

Oh ok, so it's not based on the amount of ore but on the amount of time it takes, got it thanks

[ebon marsh]

You wanna stick the coal in first ideally then the ore

[finite fern]

how do i turn this off perm? everytime i uncheck it and relaunch the game it keeps on enabling itself
im on a new OS and before it was always off but now it just wont stay off

[true steeple]

Crossplay?
You need to click start server to disable it. It does nothing when playing singleplayer.

[finite fern]

yes i did that, but everytime i relaunch game, it always enables again

[old bronze]

Is that an issue...?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[jade olive]

Ahh guess that's the easy way to do it. I guess if I am crazy enough I can rise the land out to the base which would be a lot of work. Thank you

Did you hear these rumors as well?

[frosty frost]

I think there was someone talking about something like that few weeks/month ago bit i am not too sure, and as i said i can't think of any sources that would say so. (If something like that would be said by devs then most likely in devblog, which you can go check 🙂)

[buoyant peak]

I'm completely sure that we don't need rumors to believe/know that the DEEP NORTH (you know, a frozen wasteland) will be "chill"...

[remote gorge]

Hi I'm new in this game. I just got iron and I can finally use stone in my buildings, but I still have very small amount of wooden building recipes. How I can unlock more?

[frosty frost]

You should have around 3 lines of wooden build pieces iirc

[strong geyser]

good one lol\

[remote gorge]

How i unlock some other material for roof than thatch

[frosty frost]

In plains, 5th biome

[subtle parrot]

You can use stone floor pieces for roofs as well

[remote gorge]

Is there some way to get there and get needable items for recipes even though I just located swamp

[subtle parrot]

A karve

[chilly shadow]

Start with corewood beams to help you flesh it out! It's an interesting layout and is quite large so you likely won't have one "cohesive" roof.

[subtle parrot]

But it won't be easy to get what you need

[frosty frost]

Well, you can, it will be quite dangerous but if you locate pools of black liquid you can get the material @remote gorge

[charred crow]

heeeelp. how do i 'get gud'???!??

[frosty frost]

You play more

[charred crow]

is that some kind of mod?

[frosty frost]

Is what some kind of mod?

[slate cargo]

really got me thinking lol, I ended up chopping it up into 3 different pieces so that i can end with something like the img in paint if that makes sense lol

[charred crow]

'get gud', is that some kind of noob mod the young use these days?

[frosty frost]

I believe thats just how some people say "get good", but for mods you have to go to #mods-discussion 🙂

[chilly shadow]

It does, whatever will help you visualize your goals. Depending on how high you go you may need to use some columns as well which you can always use more corewood poles for then dress them up in 1m wood walls if you want a more solid appearance. They become good places for scones and such as well as item stands for displaying w/e you'd like.

@slate cargo meant to reply my bad

[slate cargo]

thanks for the tips really means alot, the structural integrity is being held up by corewood, iron poles, and my hopes and dreams.

did they patch out the trick where the ||shield generators preventing flametal ores from submerging?||

This is my first time in the ashlands and after my first node i tried to find some fixes since it was disappointing to lose so much ore.

it seemed like it worked for the next one, but it was probably luck. then, for this one i set everything up and it still happened

[true steeple]

Shield generators don’t affect the sinking, but they will stop the lava from spawning projectiles. Since ashlands released in public testing, the chance to sink has been significantly reduced.

[bitter kiln]

Thank you very much! I'll still use the shield gen for safety. I guess I'll just deal with the sinking. It stinks losing all that ore. But, oh well!

Go to your Worlds folder and upload both the .db and .fwl files of respective world

[jagged crown]

there's only a vdf file in that folder on my end

btw i figured it out. Turns out I'm playing on an obsolete version of my seed (no idea how, if anyone can explain it to me, then fantastic).

At least now the map makes sense lmao

[steel thorn]

how practical is it to build a large main base structure with a stone foundation in survival? I fear itll take hours of mining

[last osprey]

Map generation tends to change a little with every major patch. The shape of the continents tends to remain the same, but points of interest (dungeons, boss altars, resource spawns etc) you haven't discovered yet get shuffled around a little.

Your world playing on an obsolete version of the seed just means it was created before the latest generation change so you need to upload your file to get accurate PoI's.

[trail lotus]

Hello guys, a couple of friends are trying out valheim for the first time, i've been advising them to try out some of the QoL mods, nothing heavy and fancy, however, i do not know how to implement mods onto the server, been playing only modded public servers.
Can someone guide me towards what software is REQUIRED for the mods to be added, server-side? I hope only things like r2modman

[frosty frost]

Look in #mods-discussion , folks there know quite a lot stuff about this 😄

[steep tusk]

They are trying it for the first time and your immediate advice is for them to alter the game before just playing it?...

[ripe bone]

😬

[trail lotus]

yeah, for small qol things only

[noble tapir]

yah, there's plenty of QoL mods that make it more fun to play with friends

less time waiting / hauling stuff back and forth, digging through chests, etc

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️

[ripe bone]

yeh....its called world modifiers, place stacks, spawn command.

[zinc turtle]

How does this run on low end PCs?

[noble tapir]

it runs fine until you start adding a bunch of lighting to your base

so turn down lighting, shadows, foilage and it'll run decent

[willow raft]

Drop your settings down low low low and avoid building too intricate things.

[glass mulch]

Just turn setting down

[south echo]

silver armor still can tank a lil at mistlands? it will be a pain in ass to grind padded for 5 people

[true steeple]

It'll be good enough if you're careful and are using a shield well

[south echo]

tower shield or regular shield

[true steeple]

In mistlands a regular shield will be more useful, but if you really want to and can use it well a tower shield can work

[willow raft]

Yeah and if you have a few root chest pieces they are also pretty good in mistlands.
The fenrir armor set can work as well but the person using it needs to know how to use the terrain and repositioning to get the most out of it, don't try and take hits with it.
Dodge roll, parry and all that jazz.

[true steeple]

Against any attack with a small enough hitbox, jumping is better than rolling

[south echo]

okay and the best shield i can make it before mistlands its the black metal right?

[south echo]

i aint that good

[topaz sail]

Yes I know. I've played this game for quite a while but they keep updating sh't all the time so I'm like "WHAAT"

[true steeple]

Mead has always needed honey though

[willow raft]

You do already have a cauldron I presume.

There are new meads that don't need honey if I'm not mistaken.

[frosty frost]

Interesting, usually people complain that devs are working slow and never update the game and then i see this 😄 nice change of pace for once actually

[south echo]

if i die to the dwarfs they get cool with me or they will be angry forever?

[willow raft]

Angry till you kill them. Though only the dwarfs from that particular group, other dwarfs in other towers or areas won't bother you.

[edgy lake]

Is there any reason i should make the iron sword over the iron mace? because everything seems to be resistant to slash, or neutral, whereas more enemies are vulnerable to blunt. Is there a reason for this? I really would prefer to use a sword but i also don't want to die lol

[willow raft]

Not at all, the iron mace is really good in the swamp and certainly against its boss.

[edgy lake]

😿 i understand

they really should make swords more viable frr

[willow raft]

Oh it is very viable after the swamp.
Silver sword is really good in plains.

[frosty frost]

Oh they are 😄 just in swamps the mace is better

[edgy lake]

that is fantastic news! thank you 💕

[frosty frost]

Afaik you dont.

Wait really? Will have to go try that 😄

[topaz sail]

I think there's too much stuff to do

[frosty frost]

Hoooly, you were right 😄

Yeah found that too, at first i thought it bugged because of excessive speed xD

[loud linden]

There's huge opportunity to do the same thing over and over. Is that 'too much to do'?

[glad flame]

What kind of fire (hot) source work on chiken? ( i dont create automatic farm)

i dont know whay dont work....

[chilly shadow]

Anything that gives you the "fire" effect should work.

[glad flame]

yes... but not ther...
egg need roof 😄
LOL 😦 i canot create open farm 😦

[chilly shadow]

They only need hatched under a roof, they can still lay eggs

Pick em up and toss em in your incubator.

[last osprey]

You need a roof anyway if you don't want to get your chickens murdered by bats.

[hardy veldt]

is there a mod where you can search for items you put in your chest?

[frosty frost]

You can see the whole chest at once anyway cant you? But if you really need it then ask in #mods-discussion 🙂

[cerulean crane]

hello, I need help, me and my friends have been playing on one of our servers for half a month, we got to mistlands and the problem appeared that we can't connect to the server, my friend reinstalled the game, restarted the router, checked the game files, whether we missed something, only it won't work for him when we need to access his server, and if we made it it would work, we have large territories there and a lot of things, we would appreciate your help, thanks.

[hardy veldt]

my chest arent sorted and i have a bunch of junk everywherer

[steep tusk]

Sounds like you need to spend some time solving that problem.

[barren yarrow]

What does "Missing DB" mean for the seed next to my world mean?

[true steeple]

One of your world files has forgotten how to exist

[barren yarrow]

Is the wolrd borked?

[true steeple]

You can check a recent backup from the manage saves button

[frozen cypress]

I plan to make my Valheim server accommodate at least 6 of my friends, but if my PC can barely handle the ping of having 3 players on, then I don't think it'll handle 4 let alone 6. Are there any ways to improve connection speed when hosting, such as a dedicated server or some third party hosting software?

[cosmic cedar]

Hello, I've got a question

can rain completely destroy a building?

or does it just damage it to a certain point?

[true steeple]

It damages to 50%

[cosmic cedar]

thank you

Also do dreams mean anything?

[frosty frost]

They sometimes have bits of lore or info about biomes or bosses 🙂

[compact heath]

#dedicated-server Lots of people pay 3rd party providers to set up a server for up to 10 people, thats what I do. Means you don't need to leave your PC om as well!

[sinful glen]

My ores disappear after I put them in a chest

does anyone know how can I fix it?

[chilly shadow]

Do you got mods installed?

[sinful glen]

I don't

but ppl in the server do

Is it possible for their client side mods to cause this?

[chilly shadow]

Unsure. I'd check out #mods-issues or discuss it with the folks that are hosting the server

[sinful glen]

Ok ty

[gilded rampart]

is there a point to killing stone golum?

[chilly shadow]

Not unless you need crystal or just don't want a relentless pursuer.

[ripe bone]

trophy be like:

[gilded rampart]

what are crystals for?

[ripe bone]

building and an axe and some lanterns later on

[gilded rampart]

how do you get seeds back when your harvesting smt I planted carrots and picked em but then boom I had no seeds to replant any

[chilly shadow]

Plant the carrots

[gilded rampart]

but I think I got like 1-1 ratio back from the carrots right

like planted one seed and got 1 carrot back?

[steep tusk]

Seed Carrot = 3 Seeds

1 Seed = 1 Carrot = 1 Seed Carrot = 3 Seeds = 3 Carrots = 3 Seed Carrots = 9 Seeds = And so on and so forth.

[gilded rampart]

I just had 7 carrots annd then just planted them

so what would be next?

[steep tusk]

What is 7 x 3?

[gilded rampart]

so when Iharvest just press E on them all I should get 21 carrots back?

[steep tusk]

21+ (can get extras based on farming skill) yes.

21 seeds.

[gilded rampart]

if I catch fish should I just cut them up to be raw and then just cook em?

[steep tusk]

Everything but Trollfish and Anglerfish, yes.

[gilded rampart]

should I save those I dont think I have anything to do with them yet

[steep tusk]

Trollfish used in specific mead.
Anglerfish used in Fish'n'Bread food.

[gilded rampart]

what about wolf meat?

[chilly shadow]

Wolf skewers

[compact heath]

I think grouper you need too for mead

[ripe bone]

and perch

[compact heath]

Ah yeah i forgot about that too, is great when you find a nice little island just off the coast in swimming distance before you have portals and good boats

[polar rivet]

is there a way to repair the wood floors in the dvergr towers?

[compact heath]

no, unless #mods-discussion

[gloomy dagger]

is there a devcommand to disable enemies, or make them nonagressive?

[hard geyser]

Ghost would make you invisible to them

[gloomy dagger]

and how do i turn that off again afterwards

[hard geyser]

Pretty sure it’s a toggle so just ghost again

When I load into our multiplayer world (made during the mistlands upd) on the latest version I load in just fine but my partner loads in with no buildings or trees. Totally barren landscape. Any idea what needs fixing cause I still see everything

[subtle parrot]

You can enable passive enemies in the world modifier menu

[quasi mural]

Does anyone know how to disable colored arrows and circles in the Perfect Placement mod?

[lilac coyote]

#mods-discussion

Or just turn off the mod, that would work.

[quasi mural]

Thank you

[hardy veldt]

where is swamp usually at?

[subtle parrot]

About 2000 meters from spawn is where swamp starts generating, for scale, that's about 1/5 of the radius (from center to the edge) of the map

[hardy veldt]

ty

just found haldor before a sizable swamp

[ripe bone]

SO.....i got a place in the plains, and i'm gonna make ballistas pointing out the docks, currently i have not yet beat the queen so i dont get seekers or those raids....what should i have them target?

[chilly shadow]

Deathsquitos

[loud linden]

Have you done any of t he Hildir bosses? They can be pretty rough as a base event, excepting the skeletons mostly.

Also, Yagluth activates Seekers in plains.

[ripe bone]

false

the queen*

[loud linden]

So the Wiki is wrong?

[ripe bone]

could be lmao

i've defeated yagluth like 100 in game days ago, not a sign of any seekers outside of the mistlands.

i'm well into the mistlands and about to fight the queen

[loud linden]

Not surprising if you've not built a plains base yet.

[ripe bone]

i'm living there

i'm afraid your eyes are wrong

[ripe bone]

thats a raid

[loud linden]

dont get seekers or those raids....what should i have them target?

Your quote

I don't care, man. I was trying to help. You do you.

[ripe bone]

idk what i was talking about

[next beacon]

anyone knows if i raise or dig ground arround maypole it gets pushed or destroyed?

[frosty frost]

Yeah, if you lower the ground enough that it would be flying then it will get destroyed, but raising the ground Is not an issue as long as you see part of it above ground i believe

[next beacon]

oh i was hoping it would go down like rocks etc xd thanks anyway!

[charred fable]

Have em target Fulings. Infinite black metal.

[noble tapir]

wasn't that recently changed as well to only be plains/mountains or something?

[frosty frost]

Seekers spawning after Queen? No i don't believe it was changed

[noble tapir]

man, i swear i read that somewhere, but there's just so many patch notes to go through 😦

[frosty frost]

The only thing in reference to the plains/mountains that comes to mind are the wolf raids, but not seekers night spawns

[tired root]

Recently I've noticed they have started spawning in swamps too, they haven't before. And ticks and broods now spawn only in Mistlands during night, formerly they also spawned in other biomes except swamps.

[harsh meteor]

Do fish from different biomes require more stamina? I know the anglerfish does, but do trollfish from the black forest take more stamina than regular meadows fish? And do swamp fish take more than the troll fish etc ? Also, does catching more stamina intensive fish raise the fishing skill more?

[waxen wharf]

why is this pillar not falling

[stoic trench]

Generally, yeah the fish from later zones require more stamina. The type of fish you’re catching- species or quality- don’t affect exp gain.

[waxen wharf]

if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

[steep tusk]

Because it doesn't feel like it.

[willow raft]

Somewhere some hit box is still connected. Dig down deeper and hit it again, you might need to build a ramp to jump to it to be able to hit it again or you could leave the area and come back sometimes that also forces the rock to check again and might explode.

[waxen wharf]

i found it, i just had to excavate a little. thank you

[loud linden]

As a general guide, if you can reach the stone when swinging a pickaxe, it's too close to the ground to activate the collapse. I THINK it's about 2m from the ground to trigger collapse, but pickaxe it as best you can, then lower the ground around it.

[thorn spire]

Yes. As you progress, you generally need more stamina to catch each species of fish. There’s also an exponential increase in stamina drain when catching higher ranked fish

[loud linden]

Why is 'exponentially' being used incorrectly so frequently today? There isn't even a single exponent increment across the entire stamina cost of all the fish in the game.

[willow raft]

It is getting exponentially worse and worse with people and their grammar skills.

[loud linden]

Ignorance gets raised in power 😛

[willow raft]

Ignorance isn't always bliss.

[loud linden]

It is. But, once you've overcome it, the only way to deal with it is to acquire more knowledge.

[quasi pagoda]

Question about raising asksvins. The two tamed asksvins I have in the Ashlands laid eggs. I brought the eggs back to my Meadows base and hatched them. It has been a while (greater than 1 hour) and the Hatchlings have not grown up yet. Do they only grow in the Ashlands? I did give them food.

[loud linden]

They'll gestate everywhere; you just need a fire nearby.

[frosty frost]

Hatchlings dont eat and dont need fire after they hatch, it should take 30 minutes to hatch the egg and then 50 minutes for them to grow

[quasi pagoda]

Hmm. It's been a bit more that the duration a feast.

I turned off Events and will just let time run while I stand in the pen with them.

[loud linden]

Oh sorry, I misread your initial query. I never had any issue with Asksvin juveniles. Is there maybe a space requirement?

[frosty frost]

Not for them groving into adult form

afaik ofc

[loud linden]

I would suggest isolating one juvenile maybe 20m away from the others. Treat distance as your variable. If that doesn't make a difference, start isolating the juveniles in groups of varying density.
It's not your responsibility as the player of a video game, but it's a fun venture into the applying the scientific method.

[quasi pagoda]

They did finally grow up. In this case the scientific method appears to indicate that I cannot keep track of time.

[loud linden]

lol! The best scientists can admit fault 😄

[delicate condor]

I'm at the bronze age, and I'm noticing that old equipment starts piling up and it's annoying.
Isn't there a way to scrap old equipment for even an ounce of material?

[frosty frost]

Theare is a way to destroy stuff but you will get only coal 🙂

You will unlock it in swamps

[delicate condor]

the Obliterator?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[delicate condor]

I believe it was added way back as an answer for people asking for disposing fo trash, correct?
So it's unlikely they'll further add something for scrapping/recycling?
Or should I try make a suggestion in the feedback channel?

[frosty frost]

You can try but i think its pretty unlikely 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, a suggestion for a thing we already have isn't going to do much.

[delicate condor]

It's not really the same....

but I get the logic.

[frosty frost]

I think the suggestion would be more in lines of getting back some of the stuff it took to craft it 😄 tho it could be argued you used coal to smelt metal

[delicate condor]

thank you

[steep tusk]

The likelihood of scrapping things outside of mods is about as close to 0 probability as one can achieve without actually being at 0.

[delicate condor]

sorry I'm reading as many times as I can but I can't quite understand your sentence

maybe I'm just tired but

[frosty frost]

Translation: the chance of recycleing materials is near absolute zero (in vanilla, mods can do many things)

[steep tusk]

"They will almost assuredly not add scrapping to the game. Modding is your only option if you feel that dev decision is a mistake."

[delicate condor]

anyway, since I havent been playing for a long while... I also wanted to ask: have they finally decided to add a character tab where armor and equipment doesn't stupidly take inventory space?

[delicate condor]

I understand

[steep tusk]

Since it isn't stupid, no.

[delicate condor]

thank you

[delicate condor]

Well I mean, imagine having an inventory/bagspace: it contains armor pieces and weapons.
Now imagine equipping armor pieces ON YOURSELF, it's not stupid still somewhat finding them occupying space in your bags?

[steep tusk]

Imagine being a dev and deciding on the amount of inventory slots you want in the game.
Now imagine you intentionally picked that amount to include armor.
Do you split 4-5 slots out of the grid and make it look weird?
Do you force Head-Cape-Chest-Pants to solely be inventory-focused?
What about players who don't wear capes? Are they just fucked because you forced a slot to solely be for gear?

[delicate condor]

I don't think there is a single RPG/survival game where equipment that is being equipped still occupy space in the bag,

[steep tusk]

The inventory system is fine.
If you feel otherwise, see previous about the purpose of modding.

[delicate condor]

Sevrahn you don't split anything, you just make an additional tab for character/equipped gear slots.
You don't take away from the current slots, you don't diminish them.

[steep tusk]

So you want them to add more slots.
See initial about the number of slots being intentional. 🤦‍♂️

[delicate condor]

Do you split 4-5 slots out of the grid and make it look weird?
Do you force Head-Cape-Chest-Pants to solely be inventory-focused?
What about players who don't wear capes? Are they just fucked because you forced a slot to solely be for gear?

I genuinely don't even know what to say

[steep tusk]

You want to say you feel otherwise, so you need to see previous about the purpose of modding. 🤷‍♂️

[delicate condor]

I hate modding in a sense that undermines the original experience, it contaminates the true essence of the game even though some mods are genious; nevertheless, applying them feels wrong to me.

Which is why some features I wish were added in the original game by devs.
But I understand devs have their own philosophy.

[lilac coyote]

Oie, not this argument again. No, we're never having armour slots

[buoyant peak]

So you find that absurd but the fact that you can carry 3000 kg of materials in your pockets and still move around makes perfect sense?

Wild

[hard geyser]

When I load into our multiplayer world (made during the mistlands upd) on the latest version I load in just fine but my partner loads in with no buildings or trees. Totally barren landscape. Any idea what needs fixing cause I still see everything

[humble scaffold]

Alright y'all, I need some help. I've beat ashlands, and want to build just a big-a everything base. I've cleared out some land and have 11x11 of the grausten floors for a total of 88x88. I could shrink it down to 10x10 for ease of use. But the problem I've always had when building is planning properly so I can roof the structure properly. What are some pitfalls or things I should just definitely do to make sure I can build it right the first time?

Obv it's not going to be perfect the first time, but what I don't want to do is get to the next stage of a build and have to take out a whole line of flooring because I suck at the game lol.

[dull nymph]

How do y'all do to recover from death?
Death isn't unfun, but going back to grab ur stuff is to me
Like dying in swamp, even with a portal/outpost setup a few hundred meters away is insanely hard. No health, no stam, no armor, no weapon to fight back
I guess use a spare set? but the grind is already so much for the one set lol

[subtle parrot]

Make an outline with wood iron beams. You can use stone/marble/grausten floors as roofs as well, so don't get stuck in the idea you need a pitched roof over the whole structure. Even if the build piece is red, it doesn't necessarily mean it will break. Make sure you have enough materials if you're building in survival, it's always a hassle to get halfway through a build and realize your build is bigger than you've prepared for. Don't be afraid to experiment, try something strange. Don't forget that most build pieces are able to overlap each other, so if something doesn't quite fit, you can always use decorations or whatever to cover it up.
#building-screenshots message
An example of a more or less square grausten build, not great or one of my better builds, but it was mostly just for function in my last playthrough.

[subtle parrot]

Basically, make back up gear, don't carry unnecessary tools and supplies with you. Make plenty of foods and meads to have at your base even if it's not the best foods, or gear, running out there for recovery in something with food in your belly is better than naked and hangry.

[humble scaffold]

Ok awesome, looks sweet great. That's great to know and good tips as well.

[steep tusk]

The grind is "so much"?

Um... what do you think the point of this game is?

[young wing]

hi friends. i am new to valheim. I am build a second base directly on the ocean. i am build woodenhouses atm. i noticed that the wood is taking much more damage over time as my first base at the starting point. why is that?

[steel thorn]

I believe wood takes damage from contact with water, up to 50%. If the wood is in contact with ocean water it will be reduced to 50% health

same is true for rain

[young wing]

i read that too. but its not in contact with water.

[subtle parrot]

During storms, the water level rises up pretty high, so if you're on the coast and at sea level it will rise above and damage your build

[young wing]

oh ok. that explains it. thx

[hardy veldt]

will my portal be fine if i leave it in the open?

[frosty frost]

If you are not near it to load the area then yes

[hardy veldt]

ok

[hardy veldt]

can a level 3 iron buckler parry fulings?

[true steeple]

With enough health it should be able to. You can jump instead if it's not strong enough

[dull nymph]

hmm, okay thanks, I think I'll setup a gear chest just for running back lol
and a second one when I die running back again

[hardy veldt]

what about a lox? the fuling was fine it parried and it did 1 damage to me

[chilly shadow]

Test it

[agile rapids]

Don't

[true steeple]

I don't know the exact numbers but they definitely hit harder

[subtle parrot]

A lox can be parried by a level 4 finewood bow

Granted that's with level 3 silver armor and 2 hp foods

[true steeple]

That's 11.25 block armor at max skill. What food?

[subtle parrot]

Iirc it was serpent stew and cooked serpents meat with maybe turnip stew

[strange narwhal]

How do I recover my loot from the ashlands in the middle of the lava (needs two basalt bombs) without getting swarmed?

[frosty frost]

To be totally honest... With difficulty, there is no real easy way (apart from using commands ofc)

[strange narwhal]

Tbh I got close a few times so I guess I'll keep trying

[last osprey]

ride an asksvin. ideally while using staff of protection on yourself and it.
alternatively log out, set enemies to passive, go get your gear and set them back to normal after.

[strange narwhal]

Thanks

[coral plume]

Is there something I can build to reduce the sound of outside storm winds, inside?

[subtle parrot]

Welp, after rigorous testing, it must've been a fluke when I was running away from one some time ago or I just got knocked back by it's charge without taking damage and thought I heard the parry sound. Oh well.

[steep tusk]

Speakers that have a volume control knob on them?

[sinful plume]

seems like the times between me and other players are out of sync. example it is dark for my wife on her screen but bright mid day for me bit when i check the time of day we are at the same time of day on the same day

[delicate condor]

when did I say that?

[delicate condor]

I am under the impression that you are particularly rude to others, Sevrahn

I don't believe a "help" channel to befit such kind of answers, honestly

[steep tusk]

You can have whatever impression you wish to have 🤷‍♂️

[delicate condor]

u-huh

[steep tusk]

Replying on behalf of someone else is... an interesting choice. 🤷‍♂️

[buoyant peak]

You didn't.

But the fact that you haven't mentioned it implies that you don't find that a problem.

So not having gear slots because it's illogical is absurd. Why that's illogical and an issue but what I said is fine/acceptable?

[delicate condor]

so only because I dont mention all the problems I think there are in the game on the get-go, they stop being a problem?

apologies, I am having a hard time understanding your point

[buoyant peak]

My point is: it's barely an issue and the "it's illogical that you wear stuff and also have them in your inventory" statement doesn't make sense and doesn't work as an argument

[delicate condor]

you guys have no actual arguments or manners, you just seek bickering

and I'm too rough and old for this stuff

[lilac coyote]

Did you need help with something?

I guess not.

[gilded rampart]

does the wolf frost cape or whatever

make me immune to the snow cold? or what does it do when says the resistance and is it worth making

[frail cave]

it does make you immune to the snow cold, just note that the wolf armor chestpiece also gives that resistance while offering more defense, assuming you use heavy armor
if you don't, then the wolf cape is a good option for now

[gilded rampart]

yeah I have iron and then the cape

where do I get dragon tears im tryna make artisan table

[true steeple]

You need to kill Moder

[gilded rampart]

oh gotcha

would you reccomend all silver weapons and the wolf armor before doing that?

[true steeple]

You don’t need all silver weapons, but if you want to make them all, go ahead.

[gilded rampart]

like I should have that druager bow right, posion arrows, frost resistance, and then like upgraded wolf armor you think? or you think irons good?

[true steeple]

Obsidian arrows will be best for Moder. Wolf armor has frost resistance and that defence can help a lot in plains, but if you’re using a shield well then iron will be good enough.

[ripe bone]

you're only the third rudest i know in the server its not that bad 🧡

[gilded rampart]

ok I see i saw in a video poison was best arrows for moder?

[thorn spire]

If you've got poison arrows, you can use them occasionally. The poison damage doesn't stack, so you only want to shoot one poison arrow out of 5-10.

[gilded rampart]

so instead of risking swithcing and getting attacked I should jsut use obsidian

[thorn spire]

I usually go up against moder with two rows of arrow stacks in my inventory, 1 poison/5 needle or obsidian.

if you arrange them in the right order, you don't need to switch.

or, just keep your arrows in your numbered slots and switch them that way.

[true steeple]

Unless you’re super unlucky, she’ll be spending most of the time on the ground where the arrow you’re using doesn’t matter

[gilded rampart]

should I save wolf meat or should IJ ust cook it and eat it for now?

[gilded rampart]

what melee do you use when shes on ground I have iron mace rn level 2

[true steeple]

The iron mace will be good enough, but the fang spear works well and is very cheap

[true steeple]

You can cook it into Wolf meat skewers

[gilded rampart]

yk off the top of your head what else those take

dont think I see that in cauldron

[true steeple]

Onions, mushrooms, Wolf meat (raw or cooked, idk)

And the cauldron must be level three

[thorn spire]

raw wolf meat

[agile rapids]

What should I do while I wait for my barely and flax to grow? I don't feel like working on my base

[compact heath]

Stock up on more portal materials, or cook food and make meads, get materials for the new Bog Witch meads, collect gold for Feast ingredients, explore the world for amazing new locations, do something new like tame a lox and ride them if you haven't yet, try out a new weapon in an old biome... any of that sound ok?

[agile rapids]

I'll definitely try my hand at taming and exploring, still haven't found yag or any mist

[compact heath]

finding Yag is the thing that often takes longer than anything else in the game, often takes much longer than finding the items to summon him, his vegvisirs are very hard to find if you don't know what to look for, people often find his boss alter before they see a vegvisir

[agile rapids]

Ah, approximately how many plains biomes will I have to go through to find him? I have 4 totems and explored 1 island with 3 camps

[compact heath]

Can't really put a number on it, but I think my worst was about close to 20h running through plains (but was in heavy armour and with fighting) to finally stumble upon it, sailing can be good because you can relatively often see the altar from the shore it its not too far inland. Another way is googling how the vegvisirs look like which is a slight spoiler of course, but helps to know what you're looking for. Can also look up what the altar looks like but that one actually stands out a lot. The vegvisirs can be missed super easy if you are not sure what to look for.

[ruby comet]

Is it normal to struggle to find infested mines? like really struggle? Like I've been wandering the horrible landscape of jagged rocks for days and only found 1 mine?

[hardy veldt]

i got troll head and legs and root chest on

[hardy veldt]

tryna get me killed but i will try it

how do i get bees im almost in the mountain part of the game and havent seen any damn bees im just desperate at this point

[chilly shadow]

Look around abandoned buildings in the meadows

Listen for buzzing

[harsh meteor]

to be honest it depends. Some mistlands are simply too small to have them, you have to find a big ass mistland, and even then they are usually decently far apart, but I havent had any issues. I've been able to find 5-6 within the same quadrant of the map. However, the mist and the terrain do make it harder to spot.

[arctic monolith]

solo player just finished moder LF help with entering plain for some mats and building

[compact heath]

sometimes you find some mines fast like 3 of them in 20 mins, sometimes you explore for over an hour and find nothing except 3-5 what I call fake mines like the ones without an entrance, there is rng and variety, it helps if you know what the formations look like

[ruby comet]

I've seen two so far, one was like a tower with stairs going down, and one was stairs going up to a door

any others?

[little trench]

nah

[little trench]

m8 just block him

[ripe bone]

him of all people lol

funny thing i find is that the most disagreeable people in this server usually have the most logical things to say

[little trench]

thats not difficult when u give the least effort answers ever
question: how do i reduce dmg taken from the fire in ashlands water/lava?
answer: umm.. dont stand in water/lava.. maybe?
it's logical but also clearly not what the person is asking for

also i dont think we're talkiong about giving correct answers, the dude is just annoying

[ripe bone]

no comment

i sometimes myself grow weary of certain questions that seem obvious to myself so that leaks out at times

[frosty frost]

This can especialy be problem for people who has been here for pretty long time 🙂 Sev has been here almost a year, i for nearly 2 and i really have to stop myself from writing some not so nice stuff sometimes 😄

[ripe bone]

sometimes i scroll up the help channel....exclusively to laugh to myself

things i don't understand like someone askinggg....literally every single thing about the game when they're barely in the meadows and are getting spoiled to content

people pissing and moaning that the ashlands ruined the game for them is a classic 🥴

[little trench]

ya thats why you can just block. save urself the trouble of getting frustrated

i get having bad days but some ppl here just seem to have one everyday

[ripe bone]

i would block everyone then 🤣

[little trench]

just ppl approach things differently, some care about spoilers and some dont, some like speedrun/optimized playstyle and some like to take their time

[frosty frost]

Indeed, but people for some reason often choose to ignore the block function 😄 (tho the discord block function Is... Meh at best)

[last osprey]

Instead of blindly running through the mist climb up high and look for this rock formation #screenshots message
One of the two types of mines always looks this way. You can generally see it from a long distance since the rocks point above the mist.

Also instead of slogging through the Mistlands on foot you can just sail around the coasts of it and hope to get lucky. Might take a little longer though sailing also covers a lot more area than walking so it evens out.
But i've found 5 mines in mist-free areas that way in my current world now and i'm hardly out of Mistlands to explore yet.

[delicate condor]

it's okay, I do not linger here enough to care... still, it's like people who hang in here to "help" sound like underpaid employees who just mete out half assed answers in an upset tone

nobody is forcing you to be here and answer rudly to people in need, I think you should do it only if you are in the mood to help because you love the game

it doesn't matter how many times a question is asked or how "stupid" the question may seem

if you have to answer the way Derek & Friends answer or tease, I believe this channel is better off with nobody answering at all

[buoyant peak]

Were you even asking for help for something? The entire time I only saw you complaining about a dev's decision and weren't even in need of getting help.

Blaming others for your own derailing of the channel's topic while other people were understandably answering to that doesn't put you in a good highlight

You are just victimizing yourself at this point

If he keeps it up he will be an ex-EX.
They'll pine for the server. They'll be passed by! They'll cease to chat! They'll be expired and go to other servers! They'll be stiffed! Bereft of Valheim, they'll rest in silence! They might go picking daisies! Their posts will be history! They'll be off the twig! Kicking the bucket! They'll shuffle off this channel, run down the curtain and join the bleeding choir invisible!! THEY'LL BE AN EX-eX!!

[trail lotus]

Guys, my friends told me that they were raided by endgame mobs. We're still in the meadows and i was told they had trouble at the Elder boss and one of them logged their endgame character to kill him............Does that affect the raids and the mobs that come at us?

im @work and cant see first-hand whats up there

[true steeple]

Raids are determined by what has happened in the world, not what the player has done, unless the player-based raids world modifier has been changed from its default state.

[trail lotus]

Thank you for the clarification.

[steep tusk]

People had a whole public conversation about me when I was gone? Interesting...

[lilac coyote]

Welcome to my world.

[willow raft]

Was it positive or negative?

[steep tusk]

It was mostly misunderstanding.

[willow raft]

So misunderstood but his intentions are good.

[steep tusk]

🎶 I'm just a man whose intentions are good. 🎶
🎶 Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood. 🎶

[lilac coyote]

Oh, it was that jerk. Yeah, I saw the beginning of that conversation then went to bed.

[willow raft]

You got the reference, yay.
I completely missed the convo.

[steep tusk]

Is a good song.

[agile rapids]

Ah, spoilers are no problem, I've been watching Ashlands guides since I was in the swamp

I tried to play no spoilers but I quit because ei didn't know what I had to do next after crafting my leather armor and spear, so I just wandered for a few days and got bored

[ebon marsh]

if I could i would love to be able to play the game completely fresh without seeing anything before, like my first time with terraria was magical I was young and didn’t have access to the internet like that yet

But the game still really does it for me even if I spoil myself

[steep tusk]

Well as long as you aren't soiling yourself 👍

[agile rapids]

For my first time in valheim, I played no spoilers and I was so confused about everything. I couldn't even figure out what to do after I made my Meadows gear because I thought eikthyr was like a mob that spawns in the Meadows, because sacrificing to his altar does nothing for some reason, and the nearest black forest wasn't near and blocked off by a river and I didn't know about the raft and it was awfull. I blame this on hugin

[subtle parrot]

I found Hugin quite helpful personally, in my first playthrough

[steep tusk]

Ravens are helpful birbs.

[abstract knot]

Helloooo Vikings!
Im planing to replay valheim again and been thinking about mods.
What basic/main mods you would suggest for comfort life? and building?
I remember having mod which alows you build high strictures. How about furniture mods? whichs ones are best?

sorry if im asking in wrong chat, got lost a little

[steep tusk]

What basic/main mods you would suggest for comfort life? and building?

None. Not a single one.

If you are still wanting info -> #mods-discussion

[abstract knot]

ok ty

[scenic sundial]

is 260 needle arrows split between 2 people with level 4 draugr fang good enough for moder

i skipped obsidian arrows idk if theyre crucial for the fight

[frosty frost]

That should be plenty enough 😄 (they are one tier better than obsidian 😉 )

[scenic sundial]

thank you

[frosty frost]

Tho dont forget to also melee her 😄

[scenic sundial]

i also went out of my way to make medium healing and medium stamina mead bases.

never fought moder before so idk

[frosty frost]

That cant hurt ofc

[scenic sundial]

i can try

[hexed nymph]

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but when I try to load Valheim with mods I get into the game and then I can't use any hotkeys to equip a tool or interact with chests to open them or mushrooms to pick them up etc. If anyone else has experienced this and may know of a way to fix it, please ping me and let me know. Thanks

Cheers

[hardy veldt]

ive explored my whole meadows on spawn island

[delicate condor]

is there something in the game that increases stamina regeneration rate?

[steep tusk]

Tasty Mead, Lingering Mead.

Rested Buff.

[delicate condor]

those all impact regen?

and they stack?

[steep tusk]

Indeed they do. And yes they do.

[delicate condor]

ty

[steep tusk]

This is why Tasty is better than stamina pots.

Because you can have both Tasty and Lingering running at the same time.

[delicate condor]

that's a relief tbh, nice

in what biome does one manage to process both Tasty and Lingering meads?

[steep tusk]

Tasty is available starting in Black Forest.

[true steeple]

Tasty is from Black Forest, lingering is from Mistlands
