great
Just don't overlap Tasty and Health pots.
When you use one, you need to wait 10s before using the other or they cancel out.
That's the one trick to maximizing effectiveness.
Why not?
Tasty mead reduces health regeneration, which has no effect on healing mead
?
except the lingering health mead which I haven't seen anyone use
I was very much under the impression it did, in fact, affect Health Pots.
I just tested it, I still recieve 50 health from a minor healing mead while using tasty mead
Well that makes Tasty even better.
whats the best way to have a "farm" of trees?
everytime you chop them down, you gotta remove the stump and plant another seed, given it actually dropped from the previous one?
The only trees i actively farm are oaks, beech are too common to be worth bothering with and pine doesn't drop enough seeds to be self sustaining.
everything else i just land on a random island somewhere, slap down a portal and go to town
Best way to farm trees is to place them as close to each other as possible, having a gentle hill can also help and then starting from top of hill and working your way down @delicate condor
what about self-sustainability
like Zock mentioned
Unfortunately there’s no good solution to that atm, sometimes you’ll have to go out and gather seeds from the wilderness if your tree farm doesn’t drop enough seeds to regrow the same amount
The only really sustainable are the previously mentioned oaks iirc
I see
Actually,beech is also sustainible
beech is the fine wood one?
Nope, thats the normal meadows tree
oh
The Birch and Oak drop fine wood 🙂
damn if I find a oak seed I'll treasure it to the end of times then
thank you Asa
bonemass ready!
What do you need helping with?
with my ultra invisible meggingjord
the crowd he spawns
If you need people to help you then probably best to go to #1024264966712340510 😄
Whats the mod where u can angle the roofs and like free build
Best to ask in #mods-discussion probably 😄
how to build in water?
high tides are rage fueling
terraforming seems like the only way, but is both ugly and impossible to cancel (how do I mine something under water?)
ressources sink to the bottom, ungrabbale
I wish there was something like diving, or scaffholding, but I can't put poles down either...
I just don't know what to do?
How do you make docks?
Just stay super close to coast?
Mine are all earth based. I just raise up the ground level as high as possible and build above.
you can also just build your dock around a natural inlet and then dig out the harbour. if you dig so deep that you have to swim after, it's deep enough for any boat.
depends on the biome. In meadows and BF you can just use the underwater rocks that are already there 
Otherwise iron. Lots and lots of iron.
do iron poles snap underwater?
bc corewood or normal wood poles just don't wanna go down
like there is no option once water gets too deep
Nah they work exactly the same
use the 'e' key to snap to top, you'll still have to aim it but it should be a bit easier to get down.
oh, so they're not better than?
no but the game doesn't let me place down though
like once it gets deep, there is just no building there
it's always difficult to build below ground level. how far down do you want to go? there might be a limit on building that deep.
they give enough stability to build further out than wood
your dock doesn't HAVE to reach to the bottom of the ocean, it just has to look like it.
that's fking weird, I'm getting the snaps now, is it bc corewood snaps better than normal wood in water?
I clearly remember spending an hour or two swimming in water trying to snap pillars in the water, and the 2 pillars wouldn't snap, so I had to go spiral
glad you got it working.
oh lmao
I see
k i think i got it working, thanks guys 👍
i have another question tho, what can I do to make my terraforming straighter?
ridge on the right is straitgh and smooth, ridge on the left is ugly
If you want perfectly straight terrain and right angles, I hear there is a game called Minecraft.
you're not level on the left. You'll need to raise earth near that wiggly line and then use the hoe or pickaxe to level the top, then cut a straight line along the edge with the pickaxe again.
😂
no thanks
Then accept terrain will never be perfect 🤷♂️
I'll give you a little tip. If you're having trouble levelling the top of earth with a hoe & pickaxe, you can put down wood floor over it and then pickaxe anyting that sticks up above the floor. The floor stops you from digging too low.
Aren't going going to put down stone on top of the earth anyway?
is the drakkar slower than longship?
Apparently they have equal speeds, but it being larger makes it harder to effectively sail into many places.
and turning is worse, i'd say.
for perfectly straight lines with terraforming, you must go N-S E-W.
after raising the ground, then go around the edges below with a pickaxe. A PITA, but doeable.
(that's also how I dig my moats around the bases to keep the riffraff out. 🙂
@hardy veldt @steep tusk The drakkar is slower than longship, the wiki didnt have all speeds for it and the one that it had was copy of the longship speed. It should have correct ones now.
@steep tusk Tasty Mead is sorta like Thistle Tea from WoW, right?
I thought it was some kind of buff with passive increased regeneration rate for stamina... is there something similar?
If not, what's the difference between Tasty Mead and Minor Stamina Mead?
Minor recovers certain ammount almost instantly, tasty increases your regen so in the time its active you recover more quickly
I see, but there's nothing that works as Rested Buff, basically?
Well it gives you 4 different boosts at once and all are 50% or 100%... so no, nothing else like that in game as it would be too op
There is stuff that gives you like 25% boost to one thing, but not all 4
yeah but the boost lasts 10 seconds, it's basically on a rotation basis
Yes, and thats also why its so cheap
I mean, in the late game biomes there are lingering meads that increase Regen of a specific stat by like 25% for like 5 min i think
It's a massive burst increase of regen for 10s.
It had a 10s cooldown and lasts 10s, so effectively it has no cooldown.
As opposed to any other stamina pots, which have 2 min cooldowns.
Tasty stacks with Lingering. And both stack with Rested Buff.
So you can have up to 325% regen rate.
oh? how are they called? can you craft them?
ah Lingering
Lingering Stamina is Mistlands.
Lingering Health is pointless.
ok
hingering lealth
It’s healing a tiny amount that the number rounds to 0
anyone know how to find yagluth, been looking for whole day
Keep looking
I have a question if anyone wants to clarify how trolls work. I'm building my base in the meadows, and my friends are building their bases on the border between the black forest and meadow (on the meadow side). If I am online, but not them, can trolls spawn in the black forest and walk over to their base and destroy it?
I just had a situation where i was chopping a pine tree at the border and a troll saw me, and so I ran, but then the troll locked onto one of their bases and destroyed half of it (which I tediously had to rebuild since it is technically my fault). In that case it makes since for the troll to come to their base since I kinda lured it, but can it naturally happen? I'm just really paranoid now to be online when they are not.
Was this a raid or a natural spawn? In either case, it would be possible.
I didnt see anything pop up on my screen clarifying an event, so natural?
Yeah, if you were close enough to the Black Forest, a natural spawn could have happened and it would have made a beeline for you.
Trolls will only attack certain base structures such as workbenches. If they can’t see those kind of things and just see walls instead, they won’t break anything.
hmm ok, thanks for the input guys!
im stuck in a skull with no blackmetal pick what should i do i got no stone?
i got out
Lmao that would be such an awful way to die

does the refinery not go overnight like smelters? or is my game bugged
Everything goes overnight.
i slept and woke up with 2 eitr waiting for me
Ref doesn't have the same burn timing as smelters.
is it still going? I know Eitr refinery is a LOT slower than smelters and blast furnaces.
huh that's weird, when I sleep whilst the refinery is going, it usually all finishes it
maybe they changed it since it has been a while
how do i get unmutted and undefend in this server
how long does it take for sap extractors to fill up? i always come back and its full i think ive been waiting way too long
no idea, but they fill up fairly quickly if the root has a reserve in it
it can take much longer if the root is already juiced
yeah mine are
which is wierd cause i only collected it 3 times
if the collecter is filled will it keep taking the sap out of the root?
no, it slowly replenishes the reserve
is it possible to pop copper deposits
thanks
LF co op on yagluth
having server join issues "failed to connect" we are both using crossplay im on mac os STEAM and my friedn is windows os STEAM
anyone know a way to make it connect
It also depends when you go to sleep, if you go sleep just after noon or at midnight that makes a massive difference. You always wake up ať the same time so the total time skipped would be different 🙂
makes sense, I almost always go to sleep right as it starts to get dark, or not at all
guys is there a way to use the same cheat as admin, my friend host a server and i also wanna use cheat like him...?
Why do you want to use a cheat?
If you don’t have admin perms then I don’t believe you can
Only the host can use cheat commands
Admin commands can be used if given permission but that’s for kicking and banning
Admin perms are only for commands like kick or ban, not for cheata
trying to build some base with friends...only for base building n stuff like that.
Thanks I assumed it was both tbh
I recommend engaging with the systems within the game, or asking host to up resource rate if it’s that much of an issue, but it’s part of the game and the more you gather resources the easier it becomes
thanks...so my friend can fly around build stuff but i cant then...
Yes
Oh you want to be able to fly lol
bro i played the game with pure vanilla , i finished it with my friends, we hv nothing to rn so, plan on building villages n sutff like that...
thats not the point..its easier to build, craft n stuff... all the other cheats option can help alot fater in building some complicated stuffs
Yeah I get what you mean, unless there’s some client side mod that does that tho or you are host I don’t think you’ll be able to
yeah i got it nw...thanks
Good day, tell me how to plant ivy correctly? I planted it near the wall, but it grows in pieces. How to plant it correctly? It grows incorrectly near the wall.
Hey, so I'm a new player. On day 22, and I've defeated Eikthyr and The Elder and have level 3 Station. I dont know what to do next, the crow didnt give me any new news after defeating the elder. Can someone suggest what I do next?
What did Elder drop you? 🙂
The raven gave you advice after killing the ancient, the key fell to you. Then you need to travel and look for the swamp. The ancient key will come in handy there.
Oh yes 2 keys of the Swamp
Ok got it, thank you guys
What is the correct way to plant ivy? Are there any special features? Stone wall or wooden? How should it be rotated, how far from the wall should it be planted so that it grows upwards normally?
Just plant it next to a wall (wooden, stone, marble and grausten all suffice) in open sky and cultivated ground.
Needs to be about a meter from the wall
not too close or too far from the wall... plant one first..wait for sometime..if it says healthy..u can follow that
what is active point light and shadows?
what are esssential things i should bring on my sail to ashlands as a triple staff mage
The amount of lights that can be active and how many of those lights will cast shadows. Reducing this will help performance.
ty
wb + portal mats and food
put portal on a rock high up and then come back with lots of stone + hoe, make walls with raise ground to make temp safe base
just make like a small circle
can I place the Megingjord belt into a mannequin or a item stand?
ya on mannequin (armor stand)
gonna try to make a fortress base
Workbench forge stonecutter and a portal
is it worth it to use mistwalker too?
It's a good sword
i could run 1 stamina and 2 eitr foods and when my eitr runs out i can use my himminafl and mistwalker
but im not sure because my swords level is 0 so im thinking it will be really bad
If it's just for back up it'll be fine
but for mistwalker i gotta kill yagluth too
idk how hard he will be with frost staff
Why haven't you killed yag?
mage staves is enough, u dont need it
he always kills me
and i ragequit when i loose -1 skill levels
u can do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm1rHapAdSs
lv3?
i cast fireball
just prio kill projectile mobs
and dont kite too far away into areas u dont know about. try kite in circles in safe area
hey, new to the game here
does the building change depending on the biome you're at?
Yes.
does that mean i gotta have different bases?
Not really 😄 you can expand your first one, thats what i usually do but i am not too much of a builder (you get new build pieces as you progress)
No but it does speed up the process. I personally make one main base in the meadows till I get to plains.
I also make satellite bases in the other biomes but they are very small and only contain the bare minimum to make the stuff I can get out of that biome.
i swear for a new player building a roof is a struggle😂
everything is 😭
It indeed can be xD
finding the other bosses after elder is a struggle
not sure the biome i'm in right now, but does that mean that I won't be able to have a forge, for example, if i dont live in the blackforest?
No no, you can make basically anything anywhere 😄 you just need the materials for it
u can build anything in any biome aslong as u have it unlocked
You can have a forge anywhere if you have the materials for it, you can't make it prior to the biome you get the mats from though.
The wiki has them like that since in those biomes you get the materials for them/unlock them 🙂
i buy game now, in steam, but, i cant use controller , i have xbox controller 4gen and elite 2
Why isn't my controller working on Steam?
is the boss after elder hard?
Not really 😄 you can use the pillars on the summoning altar as cover since they are indestructible
harder yea
Not really make sure to use something blunt though, the biome is a step up though.
lowkey need to start my own world my friend never gets on xd
ya do it
Anyone here know about the quick double strike for swords?
mby do with new character tho so ur friend doesnt get mad about ur progress
ya i was talking about it yesterday
Oh really
a fresh start as a solo would be good
Coincidence lol
Can’t watch the video : (
Are you able to possibly give me information about it..?
well its just a guy spamming power attack with animation cancelling
Wolves is one of the few tamable animals right?
I’m trying to do it on controller, but my character doesn’t do the quick attack & just turns around?
Yep
You can check if an animal is tameable because aiming at it will show ‘wild’
Can you tame them just to tame em, or can they do something, like follow you around and fight, give them orders, etc?
Both.
Ooh nice tip thanks
think u need access to console so u can bind some button to /dance
You can tame them and then give the follow or stay command 😄
Huh.
u use /dance to animation cancel
K thanks
Wouldn’t that be a lot of work..? I’m not exactly sure about that instruction
for example bind Z to /dance
Well, it's a fairly cheesy strategy so a little work is required, yeah.
so you spam power attack + Z
Makes sense
how do i know what weapons are good against bosses?
But i am using controller so I’m not sure what to bind it too
check wiki and look at their resistances
Depends against which boss 😄
& I believe there’s another way to do these attacks too
mby this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzJMEM8CxLY
I just watched that video, I followed the instructions yet i can’t do it..
hes using some roll stuff
& my character turns around..? Idk why it does that
How you know is independent of bosses. What you need to know is all in the place that answers the how; @little trench nailed it.
dang no idea brah, i can barely do it consistently with the /dance method
which staff is better to hit queen with frost or embers?
Maybe the attack setting, you can toggle to either attack the direction your camera is looking or where your character is looking?
I am looking at the dummy, I do dodge and power attack at the same time & it turns around
prolly fire since ur not stuck in place
and u aoe stuff like small bugs around her as u kite
Idk what that means
I toggled look towards attack direction, same thing as before
I think I’m doing something wrong because it has the same problem with my mouse & keyboard, so the controller isn’t at fault rn, it’s me
I bought this game on Steam, but my controller is not recognized. Does anyone know the solution?
Are you trying to connect your controller?
was trying to see what i needed
Yes another games can use my controller
Have you connected it to bluetooth
Oh yes sure!!
But this game cant use . Im sad my money sad
& it’s not working..? That’s odd
I use controller on my laptop too & works just fine
What controller do you use
Anyone know how to keybind emotes on controller?
Xbox gen4 and elite2
Odd, those are supposed to work, I have no clue why it doesn’t work
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html
Try using one of these codes (scroll down) with the bind command. I haven’t tested it though
The descriptions seem a bit vague, I’ll try to find something that shows which buttons these actually are
Has graustein floor more durabilty than stone floors?
No.
Can you build atleast everything on it? 🙂
Im too
I hope it's a temporary error
Yes
gausten build pieces have better resistances than stone, however:
Neutral: Blunt, Chop
Resistant: Slash, Pierce, Fire, Frost, Lightning
Immune: Poison, Spirit```
stone is:
Neutral: Blunt, Slash, Pierce, Chop, Lightning
Resistant: Fire, Frost
Immune: Poison, Spirit```
Me too!
I’ll look into it, thank you!
As far as I'm aware, you cannot on xbox console, but I don't use pc so I wouldn't know about that.
I use laptop with controller connected via bluetooth
Oh man it’s hard to understand all that, I’m not that big into coding and other stuff making it harder 😅
Find the button you want on the second link then find the key code with the correct number on the first link. That should work, but again, I haven’t tested it.
The joystick part is confusing though, it doesn’t elaborate on which one
That’s what the second link is for
Also, do you think you’ll try?
I’ll test it when I can
I see..
For example, if you want to bind fly to Xbox A, use the command bind JoystickButton6 fly
Ohhh, so it can’t even be that hard to do, I’m just over complicating stuff for myself
If it doesn’t work, I’ll definitely leave a suggestion to add binding to xbox controllers & other controllers
use the command resetbinds to clear these command binds
The second link has the wrong numbers so it is working but not for the expected buttons, I’ll find a better list
https://discussions.unity.com/t/what-are-all-the-joystick-buttons-for-an-xbox-360-pc-controller/283/5
@gritty warren
D-pad up: joystick button 5
D-pad down: joystick button 6
D-pad left: joystick button 7
D-pad right: joystick button 8
start: joystick button 9
back: joystick button 10
left stick(click): joystick button 11
right stick(click): joystick button 12
left bumper: joystick button 13
right bumper: joystick button 14
center("x") button: joystick button 15
A: joystick button 16
B: joystick button 17
X: joystick button 18
Y: joystick button 19
This seems to work correctly in-game so far
Oh, alright! Tysmm
I’ll test it out right now
How to I bind emotes point to downpad? I tried, it didn’t work
I can’t seem to do it, but I’m attempting to cancel my hits with dodge rolling, but my character keeps turning around, makes no sense
is nidhogg a 1h sword or 2h sword?
1h
ty
Np, slayer is 2h
what's the max height I can reach with stone floors as foundations?
and only stone walls going up
and would iron pillars help to support ?
Oh yes they would
currently making a lighthouse, having trouble going higher than this, I can't place things in the middle, so I made this pillar out of iron
I would suggest going up the inside walls, not the center, for support for the walls going higher. You don't need to get rid of the center pillar, but going up the inside of the walls will do more for their support. Like this:
hmm okay thanks
I'm watching more videos, but honestly, it doesn't help, since watching them build with all the fancy cool stuff you unlock in later biomes just makes me want to stop using lame stone and basic wood x-x
why must all the cool stuff be gatekept
Lol feel free to go down south and pickaxe some grausten spires on the edge of the boiling sea of the ashlands if you want to use that
isn't that, immensely dangerous in troll armor lmfao?
I wouldn't say that dangerous lol just don't try to fight anything, also be aware your longship will likely break if you go into the boiling sea with it
But it's doable
@lapis terrace hey please, i cant use controller. in steam
i have xbox gen4 and elite2 controller
how can i use controller??
in steam?
usually fiddle with where it's enabled
enable it in steam or enable it ingame. or both
u mean input?
yes
you got..
steam settings
steam library settings for valheim
and ingame settings
It doesn't work at all. The controller works and is recognized in Steam settings. All other games are recognized as well. But it doesn't move at all in the Valheim game. I am very sad.
what are your setting in valheim then?
still cant use
No matter what method you use, it won't work. I'm crazy.
Are you making sure to close valheim when changing the steam settings?
I tried it all and it doesn't work. All other games work fine. I'll try changing computers later. I'll miss this game until then
Are you the developer of this game? I understand this game is also sold in the Mac App Store. The only way left for me is to refund this game on Steam and purchase it from the Mac App Store. Will the controller work there?
It works on Steam, so presumably.
I'm not a developer, just a helper here, smiffe would be the one to ask
Thought you meant Helper then for a second.
so TYSM today bro
Not sure if i understand lol
Helper is a server role.
Ah no, just occasionally try to help others with questions in this channel, but not a roled Helper
I bought it on a Mac for over 3 times the price, but the controller still doesn't work. i will refund
I'm beginning to think the issue might not be the game.
maybe yeah, but another games , all good work....interesting...
Is it because I use a Mac? There is a review on the Mac App Store that says the controller does not work.
is there a channel for noob questions
The channels here are for questions from everyone
and there are no shortages of noobs 😊
ok ... first time playing valheim ... i made a world and played it, and it was raining lots of times (liked it) ... but i wanted the option to craft from chests so looked into mods and installed valheimplus ... fresh start ... generated new world ... it doesnt rain anymore? and i dont think i have weather altering mods
You’ll get better responses there
thanks
You're using Valheim+, it's break most things. But yeah, #mods-discussion
ok good to know that it breaks normal behavior, cheers
I see that Frost arrows are the best against bone mass, but I haven't ventured into the mountains yet. What type of armor and weapons do I need in addition to frost resist potions? For the mountains?
You’ll want an iron mace (which you’ll also want for bonemass anyway), and an iron pickaxe
The mace is for stone golems and the pickaxe is required for silver
I was just planning on shooting the hell out of bone mass from afar lol, might have to look at strategies now
Even with frost arrows he’ll be resisting a lot of the damage
Most important thing you’ll want is some poison resist mead for Bonemass. As always, the top tier foods for the level you’re in are extremely important.
Did your boat break?
ya, leeches
Best bet might to just respawn, set up a portal, bring some portal mats and a new boat and recover 😦
Log out and back in, your stam will regen.
wiki says silver veins spawn only above 125m
but how can i tell my altitude?
Wolves and obsidian spawn at 100m. Silver will be just above that. Use the obsidian nodes as your guide.
didn't they patch that?
not sure. Maybe?
hmm, thats a bit fuzzy, isnt there any way to tell accurately? Maybe see my coordinates on the map?
saw a speedrunner who did that, but it was an old vid.
You'd need a mod to see your altitude. I don't recommend it.
no, nothing accurate, but halfway up any decently sized mountain is good'nuff
The obsidian rule should really be enough.
There is a way to tell exactly where to find silver, actually.
found a smol mountain biome but i couldnt find anything in it, no wolves or obsidian, was hoping to prospect for silver
probably not high enough. a small biome almost never is.
I got Phantom pinged? 🤔
did you /s in game chat?
I got pinged in this channel just a moment ago, not sure what happened 😂 oh well!
lol ok
i pinged you on accident then deleted the message
sandvich is the phantom pinger?!?
Gotcha, no worries!
no, the fixed the relog for stamina thing
I cannot create a character can anyone help me?
have uninstalled and reinstalled and disabled cloud
does the scythe or any other similar weapon give xp for each crop hit?
if you're desperate and willing to "cheat" then you can just create a new world
like, leave the game, create a new world, enter that world with the character that has your stuff, and recover your stamina and health there
Only the scythe gives farming xp on harvest
Any other weapon will probably destroy the crop
Only flax and barley can be harvested by other weapons, but iirc that won't give you farming xp either, nor will it have a chance to proc extra produce
oh, that makes sense thanks bro
if u get the wish bone from the 3rd boss it tells u when your near ore nodes thats the only way with out mods
Well not the only way but its the way it was intended 😄
whats the other way?
Using stagreaker on the ground until you see "too hard", and iirc it was possible to do even with ooze bombs (dont quote me on the second one its quite an fuzzy memory and i would have to go check). With the stagbreaker you just want to make sure there is no obsidian it its dmg radius since it will also say too hard 🙂
oh ya i forgot about that 🤦♂️ 😂
😁
does this still work? A friend and I tried doing it and haven't found any yet
yep still works gotta be high up where obsidian spawns though
there was obsidian in the mountain we've been it
guess we got unlucky
gonna craft another stag so we can both search
Yep, i used it in my current playthrough so i didnt have to beat bonemass and worry about the drake raid 😄
flat spots up high are a good bet to look for
good to know this still works, thought it got patched out
my friends game wont launch correctly and when valheim is open it just shows flashing colors he has already verifyed files and reinstalled the game and his pc pls help
I think it was actually suposed to be patched but somehow sliped the attention 😄
shh that's fine
Entering mountains, time for silver and also a weapon change, what s y all recommendations?
I kinda wanna stick to one weapon type now so that I can pump the skill as high as possible, but I can't get to decide
Maces have frostner
Swords are cool, don't really like the claymores swing animations tho
Atgeirs are even cooler, but I think ennemis get piercing resistance more commonly
So harddddd
Frostnerrrr🧊
Will serve you well even to the Ashland’s especially as you pump the club skill up
makes going back to the swamps for iron during plains a breeze
Slows enemies down so they’re easier to kill and attack slower
there’s no atgeir in the mountains but there’s a pretty good one in the plains and an even better one in the mistlands
There are no double handed swords(claymores) untill mistlands tho
(I'm playing Warfare mods that adds each weapon type at every ressource lol)
Ah...
Knives: fast, lunge attack is good, massive backstab damage, good to combine with a buckler for parry and staggering.
Are knives good outside of sneak damage?
Oh yes
How so? They attack faster?
They’re very short range and high attack speed
They can be used long range as well with the lunge attack.
They have very high dps, with spears probably highest in the game
Yeah it’s good to close the distance with the lunge
if i format my pc does the save also carry on from steam?
Yes, if it is a cloud save. You can move saves between local storage and the steam cloud from the manage saves button on world or character select.
wait how do i know if its a cloud save or if its on
It's a cloud save by default, but you can check by using this menu
anyone that could help me in swamp?
Are you having trouble with gameplay or just need some advice?
bit of both
What are you struggling with the most? The mobs or finding where to go?
id say finding where to go
Have you got a karve built?
yes
I would suggest sailing the edges of islands until you find some good swamp, bring portal materials with you so you can portal back home for a rest, try to look for green torch light in the trees, if you see some park, kill any mobs close by, plop down a workbench and portal, go get rested, come back and see if you've found a crypt to delve into.
Be careful of circles of stones as they have several mob spawners
If you're looking to find bonemass, the vegvisir can possibly be found in the crypts or on the crumbling towers
what does the "pathen" do?
Changes texture of the grass to dirt without changing height of the ground
so theres no easier way to make a path for carts except level the ground?
Yeah, hoe+pickaxe combo is the way to go
thats too much work -_-
You can get to lot of places without actually making roads for them 🙂 i almost never do that
If you are going to be using the path often it’s more than worth it and it looks nice and if you are cutting through a Black Forest you get hella stone and wood to use for future projects, as well as having an easy route that can go past blueberries and thistles
The ideal method for transporting resources is bringing cart to the coast and going the Viking way
yeah, i feel the severity of the weight to difficulty to move is just a bit too aggressively scaled--it renders the thing practically worthless, for the one niche application, overland travel, it would have, and it rarely is practically useful to have a path, since usually (excepting the blackmetal) it's not really "renewable" for any given site--if you're moving stuff between bases, likely you can use a portal, unless it's an odd situation you wanna move metal between bases
and of course for just this reason, of transport, i think a lot of people tend to settle most of their main bases along the coast
do you guys know a mod that can track your tamed animals? i hate it when they run and i cant see them anywhere
#mods-discussion could be a better place to ask
You don't NEED to use up every last slot in the cart. Considering you can't even carry a full stack of metal without megingjord even just carting 5-6 stacks in one go is already a massive improvement. And you can easily pull a half-full cart over most reasonably flat terrain without trouble, 5-6 stacks actually lets you go up some (gentle) hills.
Me fighting demons pulling a cart filled to the brim with silver
YOU don't need to
i mean silver is a special case since you only really need to go downhill 😂
most of the trouble is dodging rocks on the way
definitely a special case where actually the cart does all it needs to do perfectly with just a little push--unless god forbid the mountain is far inland, then I don't know what to tell you until stone portals
silver though feels like something you can find a vein or few on one mountain and be pretty much set for most of the game
yeah pretty much. You don't really need more than 3-4 even if you craft everything and it's basically useless after that since afaik it's not even used for anything decorative.
just don't mine your silver on inland mountains i guess 😁
Yeah afaik the only things you need it for after the mountains is the Himmin Afl and the wisplight
Hi, new member here. I am trying to figure out how to fix an fps issue for valheim on my new computer. even the menu is lagging. When i actually get into the game adjusting the game's render scale and resolution, fixes the fps a little but the computer I am using should be able to run valhiem with ease.
Try this video, its a bit older but it should still help 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBkMW39egU
thx
Hey. I am building a stone fortress. The walls are entirely from stone, but the higher they get, they go from green to yellow, to orange, and red at the highest. Should I replace the orange and red higher stone walls with wood?
Try to incorporate iron wood poles into the sides 🙂 (if you are not already) you should be able to go quite a bit higher
you need to put stuff like core pole or iron wood pole inside of their stone walls, to give support
iron wood will add support i'm nearly positive (since it's 'stability level' or whatever is higher) but does core wood actually add anything?
Oh, thanks
Since it is higher than the stone walls you will get the same support lvl higher 🙂
ahhh--I also know on TOP of stone, wood will act like the stone is "ground" and thus you can always get a little more height out of wood building on top of stone, but I think you're talking about like embedding the beams to get MORE height out of the stone itself
Basically, i was more talking about that the whole piece has the same support lvl right? So if one piece of core pole can support 2 pieces of stone wall (if i remember their heights correctly remember the heights) then you will get much more height 🙂
i'm not SURE, i'd have to do some more experimenting--you mean like if you have say a 2m high stone piece and embedded 4m core wood so about 2m 'sticks out' above, does building off that 2m of exposed core wood have the same strength as the stone/
is that what you mean?
More like the higher you go the more important the core wood poles would be, since you need less of them to get to certain height, ergo less stability loss
Corewood doesn't do anything to stabilize stone buildings because it has much lower base support than stone.
Corewood has a max support of 140. Stone has max support of 1000 (and min support of 100, so a corewood log with non-perfect support can't support even a single layer of stone on top).
so you're saying it just adds nothing?
Not for stone. It adds height to wood and a grounded corewood pole can support 1 layer of stone if you don't want to build more stone on top (like for a bridge for example) but it won't let you build a stone building any higher.
what actually gets you height for stone buildings is:
iron - max support 1500 and much less loss both vertical and horizontal, meaning you can stack more of them). Also includes dvergr metal walls even if they're made of copper.
black marble - max support 1500, same vertical loss but since you start higher you can stack more layers on top
grausten - max support 2000, slightly lower loss both vertical and horizontal.
i don't pretend to understand this stability system, I just throw stuff up and add supports until it isn't falling down
It's not that hard. Every material has a max support (when it's blue) and min support (the point where it starts breaking as soon as you build it.
Build pieces lose a certain percentage of that the higher up (horizontal loss) or farther out to the side (vertical loss) from the ground they are (also counts rocks, trees, basically any terrain).
Wood has low max support and medium loss both horizontally and vertically.
Corewood is like wood only slightly better in all categories.
Stone has high max support and low vertical loss, but it has very high horizontal loss and its min support is equal to woods max support (so basic wood can never support stone).
Black marble has 50% more max support and half the horizontal loss of stone.
Iron has the same max support as marble but much lower loss both ways, the best in the game
Grausten has twice the max support of stone and lower loss than marble but worse than iron.
Can clipped furniture pieces contribute to stability? E.g. Clipping wood beams through kilns/smelters/windmill?
yes, but i have no idea how much support that actually provides
i do know it's enough to hold up the black marble floor over my eitr refinery though
Guess I should try building a house on a kiln
I don't think those build pieces provide much support.
I know that kilns can support wood pieces, because I'll usually clip a small wood floor into my kiln to hold a chest, but not much more than that.
Anything special about door stability? E.g. small wood door and big wood door? If they have the same stability as normal wood pieces, I suspect the large wood door would be the best piece for vertical construction given its 3m height.
Oh, good to know 😄
appreciate the detailed explanation
I'm on a map started 3-4 years ago would this hinder the bog witch spawning? I've found Hildur on it so I'm wondering...
Depends on if you have unexplored swamps, in most cases you should be fine
Ok. Thanks I will head south since I need to explore that way anyway
okay, how can I find where I left my cart??
devcommands > find cart
I was chased off due to an event
did not know you could do that! Thank you!!
(since carts aren't a point of interest, that only works if the cart is within render distance/loaded in)
What would be the distance?
Just get closer to the area you last remember leaving it at. Better than nothing
Quick question, has anyone edited the send/receive limits using dnSpy?
luckily, I wasn't far off; it was hidden by shrubs!
on a private server i mean
I am having horrible lag on a dedicated server, trying to optimize performance by increasing the limits but its not compiling, keeps giving me errors.
so, if I want to create a single levelled building to be able to construct "everything" on the one and maximuse comfort, how big should I plan for?
20x20m is enough AFAIK
20x20km 😏
I went with 24, just to give me more divisors to work with 🙂
He wanted to construct "everything".
That takes space 😁
am i in range to find haldor?
hard to judge distance from that but, my guess is probably not quite
oh nice, that's better. yeah you're in the neighbourhood. gonna guess somewhere between you and the hue swamp location is about right. i wouldn't spend a ton of time looking closer to spawn than where you are now.
Pretty unlikely that any of the vendors will be outside the circle made by the radius of your 'Hue Swamp' marker
oh wow
o.O I'd look as far as the bonemass marker tbh
lol score!
maaayyyyybe. though i also seem to have pretty bad luck with vendor locations 😬
i don't look in there.
You don't have to. They keep being posted in here for some reason.
mreh
Modded stuff goes in modded channels. Is it so hard? 😭😭
yes. because, humans.
you're definitely not. average.
I have evolved to a higher plane of understanding sorting and labels 😁
next time you want to feel warm and fuzzy and safe, remember that allll the people driving around in automodeathmachinecars are humans.
(lol and i see professor farnsworth saying "... sAFe." need to find a gif of that...)
If it's not too late to suggest, putting the building on stilts can make the floorplan smaller - you can build workbench (etc.) additions under the floor, and build chests into the floor.
I was thinking of a basement level, but this is a good idea
how high? 2m?
i would do 2m if you want bench upgrades down there. boxes are aboouuuttttt 1m high, +/- about one wood floor thickness. put an extra layer of floor on top of the snapped one and then the chest shoullld be accessible through the floor pieces above.
I would do 2m then you can block up for smaller stuff like chests with stone blocks
grain
try and get the ground support pretty level so you dont end up with a random weak spot. pillars, ehhh maybe? corewood works well in a lot of situations, usually can get you 3 storeys. if you have iron i would do woodiron if you need to go that high, and add stone if you need to go higher than that
And don't skimp on using 4m corewood beams to bridge a 2.2m gap from the ground to the building floor.
core wood it is!
You're aware you can change the snapping points of build pieces?
where do people usually build theyre like main main base I just killed snow boss and wanna set up like main large base
what biome
i usually try to find a spot at the edge of plains around that point. i prefer the base be just outside (like meadows or forest) but close enough to garden in plains. but some people just portal to plains farm, and some people build in plains. kinda whatever you feel like. just be prepared for squitos if you're near plains
here we go!
if you can find a nice looking spot between biomes is best
I just build my main in meadows to avoid nasty enemies
My base is a sick freak that's like a 4-story lean-to that I built in my Meadows days, and a fifth story made of wood iron stilts and everything will collapse if the one roundpole fence in the corner disappears for some reason, but location-wise, I built it a 3-Second walk away from the ocean, right where the long and short side of an island intersect, so that there are three directions to leave from or get towards my base via ocean
Tbh, it's probably better to do it at a river, because ei get flooded during storms and it's a nightmare to flatten
Send some screenshots of the base and stuff wanna see
yeah sounds cool
It's too late and I don't want to wake anyone up with my loud-ass computer, but to be honest you can't really see anything wrong with it on the first floor and outside, but on the second floor and above it's literally just core wood forest
I will tho as soon as I can
Artists rendition:


why cant i make the blackmetal shield when i have all the mats?
hmm. 🤔 is shift key stuck?
no its not, just on craft x1
i can change it to 5x but nothing after
its everything blackmetal
cant even do the sword
this is strange. i feel like more than just bm shield should also be highlighted in item list. like the text outline that shows you're holdng mats
yeah
its in both dedicated sever and solo world, im not sure if blackmetal is bugged or what but i cant progress without it lol
no devcommands
and i only use texturepacks
server side we use better networking and server side sims
but nothing to mess up vanilla
imean it shoullddnt effect that but mods can do some funny stuff. might be worth trying, if only to rule it out. this seems like some high weirdness.
even on my own in a solo world, it wont allow me to craft the items
yeah i can't think of why that would be 🤔
i assume you aready tried putting mats in a box and picking them back up
and thats definitely bm, not iron with a bm texture glitch? lol
imean idk, my next step would be relauch the game with no mods, just to be sure. but i doubt that's it. ijust don't know. and everyone else is asleep rn lol
it was because 2 missing files in the server side issues
?
The dedicated server, i ran a verify on it, and it was missing two files for some reason, after verifying it, it worked fine
are you missing those files as well then? 🤔
i think so cus i also verfied my files
true
nope, but it repairs fast on a workbench
can you somehow duplicate your character? or is it 100% in cloud?
You could move it to local storage with the manage saves button on character select and duplicate the file?
great, thanks! didn't know you could move to local
I hope the developers: Please make sure your Xbox controller is working properly on Steam. I am a MacBook user.
why is world saving disabled when you spawn terrain?
You need to add 'save' to the location command or it will disable saving
so "save location devground2"?
location devground2 save should work
neither seem to work
The on screen message seems to offer your solution. Restart.
When you restart the modified terrain dissapears, which they seem to want to keep
They need to restart so they can use the command with saving enabled, then it won’t disappear
doesnt work
May I then suggest just existing in the world as it has formed?
if making flat ground was easer yeah
Why are you playing a survival game if your "too hard" ceiling occurs at levelling ground?
i have a world where i beat ashlands theres nothing really to do there and i just want a building world
Fair enough, I retract my criticism. Maybe finding a fun seed might an alternative?
No, i dont want to start all over again
You don't have to, character-wise. It's trivial to load a character up with a bunch of 'progression items' and then dump them in a new world.
do tin deposits respawn?
No
As a rule no ore deposits respawn i believe 🙂
By building certain pieces that will increase it, like furniture, fire etc, you can find a full list here if you dont mind some spoilers https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Comfort 🙂
thank you
the bog witch is a new merchant from the swamps?
haldor is from the black forest, where do you find the third npc who also has a quest?
I meadows, but pretty far from the spawn
I saw a guy in a video place stakes on a wall, but I can't do that in my game, it says invalid placement
the sharp stakes just won't be placed on any structure, only ground
that video is a year old, was that changed in between or?...
maybe they used a mod, changed some settings idk
Could be mods, or maybe some use of raised ground
doubt they raised ground since it's structures
Maybe try wood poles and then place the spikes on top of them?
it's a proper stone wall
nah
oh man, there goes my wall build :c
Those aren't stakewalls
Oh! They can only be built on dirt. Sucks to be you.
I found a mod that adds snapping to the stakes but it's 2yo :c
yeah ik
i'm talking about sharp stakes here
stakewalls snap just fine
Yeh, rump steak and fllet steak snap just fine to my pole.
On the picture they have them on stone stairs, try those
i made them stairs tho
don't mind that stupid deer seeking attention
it just ran into the stairs the sec I took the screenshot
you guys think if I sacrifice the deer to the gods, I'll be able to place the stakes?
also another question, how to have infinite stamina with devcommands?
I'm in debugmode and god but none seem to help me with stamina
Setkey staminarate 0 or something like that
Use 100 to set it back to default
nice thanks!
Anyone knows how to stopped someone using devcommands then entering a fresh vanilla server?
You can't stop a player from doing whatever they want on another world. Either don't play with them, or make them understand you don't like them cheating in your world.
Ahhh copy that
You do it like this - raise a terrain wall, then cut down the edges with the pickaxe until you only have a narrow wedge left. You can place the spikes on that and cover it with stone after.
What mobs in Ashlands fight eachother?
Dvergr vs. natives.
So its just the Dvergrs all over Ashlands?
The other mobs don't fight each over, but some do damage the others
Many ashlands attacks have friendly fire but those creatures won't try to hit each other
True dat. If you can get an asksvin or a morgen to hit the charred mobs, they will assist your kills.
Allright, thank you. Asked couse i am about to catch Aksvin for breeding.
As well as valks
I live in Australia. We're used to swooping birds (particularly in the spring). Valkyrie slipped my mind. 😛
Sadly i lost all my stuff when i died into lava, there is no way i can reach it myself, so ive to get to ride Askvin now. xD
Good luck
Ashlands.
Finally a true "the floor is lava" gaming experience.
Except elevating the floor with the Hoe doesn't stop it being lava.
Goooooooood.
Time to make Bowser's castle.
Just thinking about the flametal grind makes me cry 😂
Flametal is heeeaaps easier now. Only 1% chance that your pick strike initiates the Lavaiathan sinking.
Definitely not a grind.
If you had to sharpen/repair your weapons on that stone wheel, that would be a grind.
🥁
-# Fuck you, that pun was hilarious.
It's ok. There are not many sharp tools here. 😛
how do i zoom in my mini map?
the two keys right from M
oh, i havn't played in a while so i forgot that i actually his most of the ugly parts,, but here are some screenshots of what it looks like
oh crap, i probablyu shouldn'tve flooded this channel with this
#screenshots would have been better.
after a bit of research this does work but save needs to be in caps so "location devground2 SAVE"
Where my traders at? :*(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-mrnbQBea4
haldor spawns atleast 1500meters away from the center in black forests
hildr 3000-5500 meters from the center in meodows
bog witch 3000-6500 meters from the center in swamps
You haven't searched west or south yet...
I want to send a map folder to a friend how do I do
how does one recover items lost to worlds edge
do you just have to recover an old backup
You mean after dropping from the edge? No possible ways without console commands.
Yeah, once they're gone, they're gone I'm afraid. There's no need to be out that way, to be honest.
I didn't even see the drop off, just wanted to see how the game managed the edge of the world
and i couldnt steer the ship away when i noticed
Curiosity is an insidious killer.
idk kinda weird game design
There had to be an edge somewhere, not sure what else they'd do.
okay what is ashlands, does anyone have any tips about existing in ashlands for more than 10 seconds? i couldnt even get a workbench
What’s your gear and diet?
like i legit can't do shit, i got attacked by 3 archers 3 goobers throwing rocks 3 knights 5 birds some animal 2 lava slimes and some sort of wraith
Bonemass power helps a lot
best it can be from mistlands
carapace set highest possible level with the carapace shield and mistwalker
2hp/1stam?
also highest level possible, with misthare/meat platter/salad
i still got clapped by a whole army they just are relentless
Yeah, it’s a rough start. Are you using Bonemass?
it's like 5x times as crazy, nah im using queen since i wanted to try it out 😭
Spam campfires to prevent spawns, that helped me a lot
campfires?
i thought workbenches prevent spawns, whats the radius of bonfires
Yeah, Bonemass is key imo. Yep, campfires prevent spawns, but they aren’t targeted and they don’t burn down 🙂
Think they’re the same as workbenches?
or wait do u mean the giant bonfires
No, the regular ones 👍
it's 20 meters for all player base structures except upgraded crafting stations (i remember testing that and it still being 20 meters for those but also that people claimed it does so maybe it was changed and i haven't been able to retest it because my CPU's having problems right now 😅 )
bonfires act the same way though - they spawnproof and aren't attacked on sight
insane tip, thank you, i might have a chance gang
Hope it goes well! Let me know if it works out 💪
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lGv_8efnTaAjYSLKGaquMbulrbalgBB3_69CaQ_54L4/ my spreadsheet covers in detail which structures spawnproof (player base) and which are attacked on sight~
Anything AoE weapon like Himminafl, Demolisher or Ember staff helps a lot against groups.
When possible, you could raise earth walls around your workbench with hoe and stones to create a safe space from enemies that cannot fly and where you can also put your portals. Blobs can harm the wall if they explode next to it but if it's high enough they can't jump over.
what is the perfect distance from the ocean for my base to beso that i don't have to think about leveling the ground exxessivley?
Hmm not really sure- leveling the terrain is typically an obstacle regardless of location. What are you trying to avoid exactly? The waves?
is it intentional workbench/forge upgrades have absolutely gigantic hitboxes?
that stupid grinder wheel takes more than an entire free square in every direction to be placed, even tho it's so slim
that is intentional yea
Hey guys, when I want to get rid of older items like bad armor or something, do you all usually just throw it into the ocean? I wish they would just add a deconstruct mechanic even if that meant getting like 1/3 of the mats back.
darn, it's just that every time i build, i feel like im in the bottom of a moat compared to the surrounding terrain
We have a trash bin, its called obliterator 🙂
i just put old gear on armor stands and item stands
Same~
Oh! Google was not showing me anything about that. When do we get access to this?
Yeah, buy a thunderstone from Haldor. It will unlock a recipe that will help you dispose of things you don't want!
In swamps, granted you already found Haldor
Epic, thank you guys! I just killed The Warden so now I need to explore more to get to that point. However, I do want to find the trader that is supposedly in the BF first.
do note that you don't get much in return, it turns items into coal but at a pretty low ratio 
arrows are 0.05 coal, wood resource items like fine wood, wood or ancient bark are 0.2 coal, trophies are 1 coal and everything else, including weapons and armor are 0.1 coal, it rounds down and doesn't remember decimal coals for subsequent obliterations, honey is imo a good filler item once you have a few beehives around
Ah the good "old" times when I'd buy a lot of fishing bait and obliterate those... Easy coal
i mostly use it for excess trophies. And resin.
i'm too obsessed with shinies, i could never
How many BM chests of shinies do you need before they become "excess to be nuked" though?
Never because now we have feasts, barrel hoops and berserkir mead
Scientists didnt yet found number that high 😄
also i like to buy dvergr circlets to put on item stands for illumination
I believe this was the reason why they changed the amount of fishing bait per purchase from 50 to 20
i have yet to get to a point where they're even stored in chests, i have a massive treasure hall to fill with piles upon piles of coins
< dragon bed
my dragon bed is also filled with coins

Oh, this is about coins.
I thought you had an aversion to obliterating trophies.
yea i do, i only obliterate honey
😂
The only things I try to obliterate are my friends' weapons when they have died (I've yet to succeed)
(They've obliterated like three of mine so I'd say it's justified)
oh yea that's rude
Can somebody tell me why even when I feed my wolves, they do not heal? It gets +0 above their head.
I wish they would heal faster. Not the best travel companions lol
is there a command to make bosses and mobs fight eachother?
no
Is it possible to spawn a 2-star boar with devcommand? I can only find 'spawn boar' as an internal ID. My game crashed when I found it, when I came back to the same place as where I found it it was a 0-star boar
yes it is
Do you have the command/internal lD for me pls?
doesnt spawn boar 3 work?
Thanks everyone!
And to make the chance lower that I lost stuff again cuz of a crash... I remember there is/was an option to make the auto save more frequent, but I can;t find the setting anymore. Does someone know where it is?
best way to take down an abomination?
Use an axe
Slash dmg and if you can make it stand in geysir, and if you have buckler you might want to try parrying
or a sword, axes have no damage type advantage so the slightly higher dps of swords wins, but you're likely to already have an axe so that small damage difference might not be worth making a sword
bonfire also, just make sure it doesnt break and circle around it
sword being faster also makes it easier to get in a full combo between the abominations attacks though. So the dps gain in practice is much larger because the third hit in your primary combo does double damage.
Doesn't matter too much if you're parrying but if you're blocking or dodging it's very noticable.
it is, swords are absolutely better, i'm just saying an axe will do too if you wanna save some resources 😅
lol yeah i usually skip the iron sword, the bronze is enough until mountains and i don't really mind farming some extra copper while i get graydwarf eyes for my portal network.
if you're hugging them, they do their stump-pound, if you're further away they'll do either a whip attack or a forward stomp.
as usual, each attack has its own cooldown
they cycle between right swipe and left stomp and use the ground pound if you're too close
if they just did their stump pound and you're still hugging them, they'll wander until they're either in a position to hit you with their other two attacks or until the stump pound has recharged
Does ||Odin|| do anything except watch us ominously?
I just saw him twice in a single minute, for a total of 4 times over the last hour
he's quite the stalker tonight
nope, he's just a random spawn like other enemies that can happen at night in most biomes after the elder is slain
can I keep the wolf set through the mistlands?
the only "light" set for assassins/rogues in mistlands is the mage one, right?
The only armor there without a movespeed penalty is eitr-weave, if that's what you mean
the red warlock dress, right?
Yes, with eitr regen
how do i kill moder with my bow skill at 1?
She spends a lot of time on the ground too (unless you get unlucky). Use a melee weapon when she lands
that would work but it might take a while. i would chip fire poison and needle arrows at her and then throw my spear at her when she lands
really?, isnt she a ice dragon
She's weak to fire but even with that they don't deal as much damage
turnips are from the swamp?
Yep
how would i make this look less flat
add windows with borders. maybe add a deck around a spot. look at houses for inspiration. look at youtube videos for inspiration maybe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdhCp4Q6Lqc
dont have none of that window stuff
not actual build pieces, just put holes. for example, take one of your wall pieces, and use a half wall on the bottom, and a half wall on the top instead
there you go, a window.
gon try tomorrow
then take beams and put boarders around the window
5 am now me and my friend went underprepared for the elder dude and spent over an hour
Never forget an axe to a tree fight lol
hello. does the bonemass forsaken power override the drawbacks of the beserkir mead, or just help mitigate?
In other words, am i safe to try this out in a charred fortress where i rely pretty heavily on the damage resistance from bonemass because the buff will take priority?
Resistances take priority over weaknesses, if you wear root chest with fire weakness and fire resistance mead the resistance also takes priority
Okay, I was hoping you'd say that because I thought that is how it worked when I would wear the feather cloak and pop fire res mead to fight gjall.
So I could have been using beserkir meads without any drawbacks? That is OP.
Thank you!
Yeah the only limitation is the amount of mushrooms you can forage and the amount of meads you can hold lol
That is clutch! I've had so many mushrooms stockpiled. Now I have a use for them! I'm so excited.
can someone help me with a corpse run in mistland
@arctic monolith only mistland?
anyone have answers for world loading on friends server with no entitys, or trees
how much more fire
Fireplace/hearth/any other source of warmth is required nearby, torches don't give warmth. Bonfire works too, but it needs to be closer.
you need to actually have the "fire" buff when standing on the bed.
alr thanks yall
guys quick question does scrap iron can be mined with antler pickaxe?
Yep 🙂
Recommended vs bronze pickaxe due to ease of repair
All my homies hate the bronze pickaxe
It is entirely skippable
<—- This guy loves bronze pickaxes
Then, by definition, we will never be homies.
Same. Getting the bronze for one pays off since an upgraded bronze pickaxe generally lasts for an entire crypt without repairs so it's worth it imo.
me and my best friend are wasting lots of time navigating the sea (whic his boring because there's no interactive stuff in the ocean biome such as, idk, speed boots minigames or loot scraps floating around to kill the time or make things more interesting) trying to find swamps with a solid amount of dungeons.
even the biggest biome we found will only have like 3-4 dungeons max.
are we doing something wrong?
is there a specific pattern of exploration we should follow?
how can we find iron in a reliable way?
sometimes just aids seed
Welcome to survival games. There's plenty of online resources to short-cut the spirit of the game, but discovery is a big part of the reason to play.
yes I understand discovery, but the way this game promotes "discovery" and "exploration" is just tedious and unfun
I mean, as long as you go around by foot, you see plenty of different things, resources to gather, foes to fell, structures and chest to find, dungeons
but in the ocean you just go around for dozens of minutes before finding suitable land (swamps) and when you do, there's no dungeons at all
I think they should make iron obtainable from other sources to be honest
Iron is obtainable from other sources though
Why? Swamp iron is plentiful, that you have one bad experience doesent change that in the slightest.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming?so=search#Breeding
Hein
10 within 10 meters. I assume this includes the Chickens. Does this also include the Eggs?
for example?
kind of a new to me that iron is "plentiful", but...
Frost caves, mistlands giant armor/weapon
My world I only had 4 crypts in the first 6 swamps I visited then I found a motherload with 13 crypts in one swamp, it’s random
Non of which is as reliable or plentiful as swamps tho.
You are saying while a guy is complaining about how unreliable and not plentiful the swamp iron is
Again, one case of bad rng desent mean that its incorrect to say the swamps are the most reliable source
with all due respect, this is not my first run and iron was never "plentiful" whatsoever 💀
Plentifull compared to every other source to be exact
Uh... Iron is plentiful AF.
How do you think I get my swimming to 80+ every run just from needing something to do while waiting for it all to smelt?
is there a fast way to train swords knives polearms etc i wanna switch weapons but all my skills are level 1?
Hi ! I've got an issue for playing with my son.
Here is the situation :
I've got a Steam version, my son plays his character on and our world is on also on it.
I've got a Xbox PC game version, I play my character on it. It also works on Xbox console I got, with my profile.
I want to make a switch : my son will play on Xbox, and me on pc.
But there is an issue here : i know how to switch saves between Steam and Xbox game pass, but on Xbox console, I don't know how to move a character from one profile to another one.
Can someone help ?
Bonemass.
But the game is balanced around you having 0 skill, so don't sweat it too much.

anyone has a list of bog witch items explained all by one?
on the wiki there's no explanation
i use elder
What do you mean no explanation? Like what they are used for?
what type of arrows best f or plains and what type of armor I have iron and wolf amour rn as well as type of weapon
yes what they do, in general
You know you can click on individual items to get to their site that has that info right?
Wolf then padded if you want to go with heavy armor
ok gotcha what type of arrows you suggest
Obsidian then needle
and type of weapon if Im gonna be heavy armor?
What were you using untill now?
yeah, and it redirects to an empty page with the same tooltips shown in the game, so it's not much useful sadly
What did you click on?
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/The_Bog_Witch, in the trading table, all the way to the right says what its used for
iron mace
Then i would go with frostner (if you dont have it unlocked go to haldor, you need suff from him)
hm ok
what do I need to buy from him to unlock it
The Ymir flesh
is there a cloak piece for the swamp set?
no
he doesnt have it he just has fishing road, bat, dverger and barrel hoops
hilder doesnt have it either
That weird, he should have it if you have defeated the Elder
I got it now
Is there anything significant I can use all my resin on?

and the green ore is cooking

fuling villages; some have flax, others have barley

Anywhere to get refined iron in Ashland's?
Pots have a chance of dropping iron
did they change the spawn areas of moder , me and my friends got a moder spawn between mistalnds , i was confused we went there its literally covered in mist from all sides and we are still in early silver age, then i checked the seed because before moder never spawned that far few years ago, i saw there were 2 more moder both in similar condition one in the north another in the west, I can share the seed aswell if you want , we want suggestion how to reach there and do the boss
I found an oak tree in the meadow, took it down and gave me no seed 
Rng is still rng, the average drop is 1,25 acorns per tree 🙂
uff... guess there really isn't a way to reliably produce fine wood
i know cheat is not good but bulding is not easy....
devcommands
fly
why not work?
You just need to get oak farm started 🙂
what does the console say?
(just as a breakdown of that:
- there's a 50% chance to receive extra drops on top of the wood from chopping an oak.
- then it's a 50/50 between 2 extra drops and 3 extra drops.
- then each of those extra drops has a 40% chance to be acorns.
- then it's a 50/50 between 2 and 3 acorns.
so it varies very heavily and you can hypothetically get up to 9 acorns from one oak, but also commonly 0, averaging out to 1.25)
ok working... my bad
Ive never been successful at farming oak
They always slowly go extinct
Other than beech they are the only tree thats sustainable afaik unfortunately
Any of them
1.25 isn't very far above 1, so there is still a good chance it falls apart at some point
Is it possible to pop the Queen again once killed?
there's an altar at the top of her dungeon that you can offer seeker soldier statues to to resummon her.
alternatively, there are multiple of each boss location per world, and the queen comes pre-spawned in all of them
blackmetal or silver weapons for mistlands?
blackmetal. nothing is undead (weak to spirit.)
ty
honestly, the himminafl is fire.
polearms skill 0
lol, then pick another
i will probably use it to stun seekers
then hit them with a followup with like mistwalker or skoll and hati
mistwalker is amazing too.
-# no it's lightning
💛
as soon as i enter a mine seekers stack on top of each other and flood in the entrance and my spear is in there what should i do?
die for it?
Ooze bombs.
throw one then run out?
Should be able to throw and stand. It is extremely rare they get up onto the entrance platform.
But you do need to be present for the damage to tick.
If you can get then off it they have a harder time getting back up. And ooze will be ticking for the duration.
got it all clear
Ooze makes Infested Mines a cake walk tbh.
Why are you rocking a shield that is 3 biomes obsolete though?
epicloot mod
🤮
Bleh, mods
the game gets boring after you beat it with none
Stares in 12+ vanilla paythroughs 
-# mine is just a rough estimate, i dont remember all of them ^^
I also have multiple worlds and characters, don't remember the number.
Oh i dont count worlds, i have too many XD
Many of those haven't been touched in ages lol.
I've played the same world for 11 of my runs and only switched to a new seed for the 12th.
@lapis terrace why can't i join vc?
Same 😄
Seems like you were banned from them, at least according the role you have 😄
Person who, if memory serves, did exactly what Smiffe said not to do is wondering why they don't have access 😂
yeah but i haven't turned my camera on
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Ask in @lofty orchid DMs 🤷♂️
Are you only able to build to a certain height in Valheim? I have 1 single piece on my roof that will not stay and continues to break no matter what I try to do to fix it. Everything else stays perfect with no issues, but this 1 single roof piece will not work lol
this is gonna sound stupid but...where to find fish?
I wanna try the fishing rod but even tho I see fish all the time when travelling by boat, it's hard to stop and find them by foot though
There are also in the ocean but for starters just look around the coast 🙂
Use corewood or iron wood to get more support 🙂
Like, use that kind of wood instead? Can I send a screenshot to show what is not staying? It is literally just a 26 degree wood roof piece and the only one that will not stay there without breaking.
The game counts stability from the ground, certain pieces are longer (corewood poles) or loose less stability with distance from the groud(iron wood poles) your best bet would be to include some corewood pillars since you are apparently in Black forest stage atm 🙂 core wood drops from pine trees in there
why does the ocean do this, and can I change my settings to get rid of it?
it's really ugly, it happens all the time
It worked @frosty frost lululul thanks
in my experience, toggling tessellation (doesn't actually matter whether you turn it on or off, it just needs to reload) seems to fix it, but that may just be an incidental fix
it probably is just a loading issue and toggling tessellation probably nudges the game to redo terrain
@frosty frost sorry for the ping. When I feed my wolves, they get 0 health benefit.. am I missing something or are wolves just highly expendable?
They should heal, try to unload the are they are in maybe? (port away for few seconds)
Hmm. maybe weirdly bugged idk.. I feed them and it just goes +0 +0 +0 lol
Even when I did get one to heal once, it was like +.4
Is there a specific type of shelter I should make for Boars and such? The one I got now just used walls and a wood door with no roof, but constantly decays and it drives me nuts
They dont really need anything special 🙂 Make whatever you think will suit them. (But its a good practice to have 2 tamed animals stashed away somewhere in case something will wike the population out)
Just put a roof on it
Do roofs automatically stop wood decay?
Hello everyone.
I had some very strange experience in the game.
We played with 5 friends, on usual server. And in one moment there was trolls spawned all around the base. Literally everywhere in the base, on the walls, just above me, in old kitchen, outside kennel, and far over.
As I have figured out, no one except admin use devcommands. And even somehow that spawn commands came from my account, it spawning units at single point, not everywhere.
Any ideas what was that?
Well there is self promo channel 🙂 #self-promotion (tho in this case i think it would be ok since it is helping related, not a mod tho so take my words with grain of salt)
Yet that issue still troubles me.) I've only managed to use 20 minutes old save to fix that
Could you put it in self promo then?
Don't need that just for promotion, i'm ukrainan anyway. Let's say i've never mentioned that.
That's how that issue was looks like.
