[steep tusk]

Best?

[shell flower]

yeah like cheap resource

[frail cave]

personally i think honey, because it costs nothing and produces on its own, scale depending on how many queen bees you've collected, which tends to be a lot by the time i get an obliterator

10 honey = 1 coal, most items are 10:1

many people burn trophies, those are 1:1

[steep tusk]

Anything extra you have (stuff like Resin builds up fast)

Fishing Bait also has massive returns if you need bulk coal.

[shell flower]

i need to craft iron axe?

[frail cave]

it's not necessary

the next axe you'll need is in the 5th biome, plains

[shell flower]

how about serepnt shield?

[frail cave]

it's great against enemies that deal pierce damage, which is mostly archers, but being a tower shield, it can't parry

[shell flower]

worth to craft it? i play with friend so we can make 2

im on swamp shall i upgrade my abyssal dagger?

or its not worth it? and what weapon weapon should i craft next

can you link me some animal farms?

[tired root]

Serpent shield is the only worthy tower shield to craft IMO. Pierce resistance is very useful.

[wispy skiff]

would it be a good idea to suggest fires be able to be put out by a second quicker if you roll?

[shell flower]

should i lvl up my iron armor?

can i make some sort of wood farm?

[clever juniper]

you can set one up under a greydwarf spawner or just plant the seeds you get from chopping trees down and put them really close to each other

[shell flower]

.

[clever juniper]

I wouldn't bother, iron is typically best for building materials in the iron beams and the iron chest which are a huge ugrade over regular chests

[frosty frost]

Yes, and you can but only 2 tree types are actually sustainable

[shell flower]

so can you tell me?

to which lvl

[frosty frost]

As much as you want, if you feel enemies dont do that much dmg then that lvl is good

[stoic trench]

Maybe 2 or 3, just depends

[frosty frost]

Or 4, really doesent mater much

[shell flower]

how much will it cost?

[frosty frost]

Mate... Why dont you go try to upgrade it? The game will tell you...

[little trench]

lmao

[shell flower]

thx

[charred glacier]

When is a feast consumed?

I want to prepare it and place on a table etc but not accidentally eat it.
Can I replace it if placed? Or only place > eat?

[frosty frost]

You click E on it while its put on table, and if you have not eaten from it yet you can replace it

[charred glacier]

Thank you

Placing individual food items with a serving tray however means they can only be eaten, right? Not dismantled/moved?

[tired root]

Like Asatru said, but note that if it has been already eaten, removing it will destroy it (as the warning says in serving tray menu).

[tired root]

Yes, pressing E will consume the food/mead. You can remove it with serving tray.

[charred glacier]

Ah nice, I tried first but failed somehow, but now middle click removes it, thanks 🙂

[tired root]

Think serving tray as a tool like hammer but for food items only. 👍

[charred glacier]

Serving tray has durability which can't be repaired, correct?

[frosty frost]

Workbench 😉

[tired root]

You can repair it in workbench.

[charred glacier]

oooh nice, thought I had to keep buying 😄

holy crap this will save so many item stands for decorating with food!

[steep tusk]

Items stands are now for items 😛

[tired root]

Very cool isn't it?

[charred glacier]

does a feast stack as a buff on top of the rest of the food, or just another food item in stomach?

[frosty frost]

They take up one food slot 🙂

[steep tusk]

It counts as 1 of your 3 slots.

[frosty frost]

So you can have up to 3 feasts at the same time

[steep tusk]

They are also not "better" food, they are different, and have different usages.

[charred glacier]

Food wise, they're a bit meh on the stats? Or am I missing some perk?

What are they good at?

[steep tusk]

They last twice as long.

Lower stats for longer duration.
That is the trade.

[charred glacier]

Nice

[steep tusk]

Can be, not always.

[frosty frost]

They have around the same ammount of stat points as the best food in their biome, they are just balanced 🙂

[steep tusk]

You still want real food for boss fights and any combat-heavy excursion.

But feasts are great for "around the base" building/farming and for going into previous biomes where your gear one-shots everything.

[charred glacier]

makes sense

I think I like the look best

[steep tusk]

Once you hit Swamp you can run FFF, which works really well for everything up to and including Swamp.
Can work in Mountains too.
Plains is when I would switch to FFF as "general exploration and base stuff" and use real food when attacking villages and for bosses.

[charred glacier]

What is FFF?

[frosty frost]

Feast feast feast

[charred glacier]

ah

[steep tusk]

Food comes in 4 categories:

Health
Stamina
Eitr
Feast

See my food sheet (pinned in #valheim-chat ) for Configurations.

[tired root]

Another thing is that they help to save some inventory space as you don't need to carry as many food items with you.

[steep tusk]

Don't need to carry any given the 50 minute duration. 😄

[tired root]

As many as would need if using regular foods instead.

[charred glacier]

Does Hildirs clothing reduce stamina drain by 20% overall, or only for Hammer usage?
I can interpret the wiki both ways, as it mentions the hammer, but also "Base Item Stamina Usage -20%"

[frosty frost]

I affects all the base items, hammer is included in that

[charred glacier]

So what are base items?
Items you use at base? Cultivator included?

[frosty frost]

Hammer, hoe, cultivator, serving tray i believe

Maybe also butcher knife, fishing rod and scythe

[tired root]

Not fishing rod.

[frosty frost]

Yeah, i am not exactly sure about that one, however it is also listed under tools so i thought it may be

[stoic trench]

At my dock, I have a whole storage dedicated to fishing. Usually have a fishing boat and a fishing portal too.

[tired root]

I was in that belief until I was strongly corrected in this server lol. Then I tested it afterwards and saw no difference.

[frosty frost]

Good to know 😄

[tired root]

But scythe should be affected by base item stamina cost at least 👍

[steep tusk]

Scythe and Cultivator are under the new farming clothes afaik.
Hammer and Hoe are the "base items".

[stoic trench]

Yeah I completely misunderstood the context of the conversation, I’ll just go back to my corner

[jolly sparrow]

What this mean?

I have the concole command enabled through steam and I downloaded dev commands

But I cant use them

[tired root]

Any mods?

[wispy skiff]

do the offsprings get stronger of animals? so if there's a lox baby is that baby stronger?

[steep tusk]

No.

[frosty frost]

Get rid of all mods

[frail cave]

hello

[analog wharf]

Does anyone here know the dev command to spawn the pointy hat? I unfortunately missed it

[frosty frost]

You can enable debugmode and press B, that enables you to craft and build anything at no cost 🙂

[analog wharf]

It doesn’t show up and everywhere it’s saying it was for holloween. I was wondering if it was something I could spawn like the Jack-o-turnip

[frosty frost]

Or "spawn HelmetPointyHat" 😄

[frosty frost]

You can build seasonal items using debugmode too

[analog wharf]

Thank you this worked. I appreciate it!

I was doing spawn helmetpointy

[crude nimbus]

Is there a code that can restore dungeons / resources ?

[balmy mesa]

Anyone have tips to deal with all these damn outside mob spawns while fighting bonemass?

Literally getting touched by 3 wraiths and cant get to my loot

[crude nimbus]

That's hard, when fighting any boss i usually clear out the area and put down some work benches, i've heard they block spawns and i haven't had any issues since i've started doing that. To get your body I suppose try luring them away and then going back for it if possible

[agile rapids]

yeah, bosses are always a big deal and it's always a good idea to portal in at early morning, clear out everything within render distance and flatten terrain, do a final check at home and replenish rested, then fight.

[jade olive]

I just found the Bog Witch a week ago and I had an event we were bros. So I noticed the shield dosent work like the others. They came in and attacked the Witch I was able to harpoon the bad guy and pull him out and took care of it. Now it looks like there was no damage so I am wondering is she and the shop indestructible so I don't have to worrie about it?

[subtle parrot]

The witch and her hut will be fine, the only thing that could die, is the broom. But it'll respawn.

[noble tapir]

and you get the broom as decoration too

[jade olive]

OK that's good I don't need to worrie about it. I have noticed some creatures the shield works, but skeletons have come right in to attack which is odd.

[still field]

I'm trying to start a dedicated server and i always get "connection failed"

ports are forwarded, open. i don't get what the issue is

[noble tapir]

send me the join code, i'll see if it's a nat reflection issue

[still field]

issue seems to be fixed if i change default port to something else

weird

what's double weird is that even when connecting with 127.0.0.1 and local 192.168.x.x connection fails on port 2456

but works on 4444 or any other random port

[south socket]

anyone know how to turn down how much mist appears when you break logs

[noble tapir]

there's a mod for that through the thunderstore

[still field]

How can i do that?

managed to make it work on local network fine

[noble tapir]

the join code should be in the DOS screen as you start the server - Nat Reflection can sometimes be adjusted in the router itself

[south socket]

ight

[still field]

is it crossplay only? Can't find anything like that

And i hosted other games without issues, so i don't think it's a NAT problem

[still field]

everything works fine if i chose to host on port other than 2456

any troubleshooting tips?

[vocal plinth]

doint go afdk in ur bases guys, 3 trolls came

[tired root]

Hard lesson, but you probably will pause the game from now on.

[vocal plinth]

im, on a server

[true steeple]

You could log out?

[vocal plinth]

I didn't know i was being attacked

[true steeple]

Log out instead of going afk

[vocal plinth]

Ah

I was smelting things and farm was growing

[prime quest]

Can anyone help me with devcommands? I am trying to spawn flametal helmet, but how to choose item level quality?

used "spawn helmetflametal" but its the quality 1 one, how to get the quality 2?

[frail cave]

spawn helmetflametal 1 2

(first number is the amount, second the level)

[vocal plinth]

do meginjords stack?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[true steeple]

You can only equip one

[vocal plinth]

are there other items to increase the lbs?

[frosty frost]

A potion

[true steeple]

There's a mead and a forsaken power, and those stack with the megingjord

[vocal plinth]

so whats the total max amount one can carry?

meads only last 10mins so doesnt soud very attractive

[true steeple]

Each mead base creates six meads

[true steeple]

I think it's 1000 without corpse run

[frosty frost]

Yeah that seems about right, but thats only for 5 minutes since the forsaken power doesent last long

Tho if you have friends with you, you can make it longer

[vocal plinth]

items despawn after 1 hour right? on the ground

[frosty frost]

Yep, if there is not any base structure around

[vocal plinth]

does it matter if im running with a weapon or a pickaxe or without anything stamina wise?

[frosty frost]

Still takes the same ammount of stamina, but you are slower

so you technicaly use more stamina on the same distance

[true steeple]

The reduced movespeed also gives a very small increase to roll and jump stamina

[vocal plinth]

does my bow get inacurate if i shoot while aiming and moving?

[true steeple]

No, but if the shot isn't fully charged it won't be as accurate

[frosty frost]

It will be still as accurate, you just have to move your mouse so you introduce more of user error

[vocal plinth]

i see

[charred glacier]

Is there a space requirement for wolves to reproduce?
I have about 8 in a fairly decent space and despite available raw meat they aren't reproducing

[true steeple]

If there's too many in a small space they won't reproduce

[lilac coyote]

4 in 10m is the limit of wolves.

[vocal plinth]

Am I able to change ground color, to sand?

[true steeple]

No, sand can only exist in water

[frosty frost]

Only if you are low enough so its near water level, of if you want generaly yellowish ground then only in plains

[vocal plinth]

Is there a reason some necks dont drop their tails when killed?

[frosty frost]

just a drop chance, 0 stars have 70%

[true steeple]

It's probably because they're so common, you'd get too many if they all dropped it.

[vocal plinth]

are there statistics how fast on average with best method x resource gatherings are? like stone how much stone can i gather an hour with say iron pick in perfect conditions

[frosty frost]

Not really, no

[vocal plinth]

Do crops grow faster near water?

[frosty frost]

Nope, but sleeping speeds it up

[true steeple]

No, water doesn't affect crops. Sleeping does though, and you can sleep at noon to skip the most time

[vocal plinth]

also whats the difference between roundpole fence and a stakepole fence, i want to build a carrot farm, large scale next to a forest, i wouldnt be closer than 100m to it at all times. which should i build with?

I assume the mobs target crops and fences?

[true steeple]

The roundpole fence is cheaper but enemies will see through it. If you use stakes, enemies won't see through and won't attack anything

[vocal plinth]

excellent

If a deer took off running, is it worth chasing it in hopes that it will eventually stop?

[true steeple]

If you wait, it will eventually try to return to where it spawned

[vocal plinth]

If i plan to go resource gathering like wood, should i eat 3 stamina meals to be most productive?

[charred glacier]

yes

[vocal plinth]

Why do sometimes automatic picking up of items when running over them stop working? I have plenty of inventory space, but the items o9nly allow tyo be manually picked up, restarting fixes it, maybe there's some button>?

[lilac coyote]

@vocal plinth Press V.

[vocal plinth]

yess, ty

also can trolls spawn in black forest at any time, or if i cleared the forest once, its safe?

also do mooshroms grow back in same places as well?

[ebon marsh]

They have a chance of spawning anywhere in the Black Forest, mushrooms regrow after a few hours I don’t remember the exact amount of time

[vocal plinth]

but in the same place right?

and what about thistles?

I've reached 50hours on valheim

[delicate condor]

Ashlands are on the bottom south of the planetand the deep north will be on the upper north side, right?

[delicate condor]

thank you!

[prime quest]

tyvm

[sweet wraith]

when I shift craft something, does anyone know if the chance of getting a +1 craft is the same?

[steep tusk]

It still applies to all 5 things individually, yes.

[sweet wraith]

I have never gotten two extra from shift crafting, so I am wondering if the probability is worse

[vocal plinth]

Yeah, how is it possible that i keep crafting +1 nail everything i craft nails from new materials

[steep tusk]

Probability is not worse.

[clever juniper]

I have gotten +2 before when making 5 at a time, but my level was like 42 crafting

[sweet wraith]

ok then its probably just probability and not a bug, that I havent

[vocal plinth]

Oh its a skill?

[clever juniper]

crafting, cooking, and farming are all new skills

[tired root]

Yes, all forageable goods (mushrooms, berries, thistles, dandelions) grow back in same place after some time, so it is generally a good idea to mark those spots on your map so getting more later is easier.

[prime quest]

I am trying to destroy the middle tower, anyone got some hints? I can't reach the upper tower with the battering ram.

I rlly thought it will just drop after ive destroyed the basement xD

[shell flower]

do i need to build Smith's anvil and forge toolrack and stonecutter

all of them?

[tired root]

Build a platform for the Battering ram wall by wall, level by level. Destroy wall. Repeat until done.

Or use catapult with explosive payloads, which is riskier choice if you miscalculate and hit the wall by accident. And sometimes it doesn't deal damage.

[shell flower]

@tired root

[lilac coyote]

If you want all the recipes, yes.

[shell flower]

ok thx

[tired root]

Like Derek answered.

Didn't see your question as I was writing my answer to another person (I'm on mobile atm). Sometimes patience is golden.

I found it a bit odd at first to have me pinged that way but well, no big deal really though.

[shell flower]

ok sry

is normal fireplace good for this?

[tired root]

Should be, but I recommend building hearth (after building Stonecutter) which is bigger and have those fit better. It also provides 2 comfort instead of 1.

[vocal plinth]

whats with the comfort, like what is that metric used for?

[tired root]

Bigger comfort number = longer rested buff duration.

[vocal plinth]

oooh

[lilac coyote]

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

[vocal plinth]

okey another question, if im mining stone, can i benefit from any forbidden powers maybe for faster stamina regen?

[clever juniper]

the mistlands boss has that power

[tired root]

Stamina and/or tasty meads help with stamina regen.

[clever juniper]

but it is like the elder for cutting wood, it doesn't reduce stamina, it doubles the damage done when mining

[tired root]

That power increases pickaxe damage (aka more damage to mineable resources) but not directly affect to stamina regen.

[lilac coyote]

They wanted a power to improve mining which that would.

[clever juniper]

I would also just be sure to eat 3 stamina focused foods if you are intending to do a lot of mining/chopping

[vocal plinth]

are these just rocks oir some kind of a structure?

mined 2.5k. stone today

5chests

will soon start work on my castle, thinking whether i should build things round or squareish

[stoic trench]

How about a combination of both?

[vocal plinth]

Im building out of stone and probably corewood for the castle walls

I havent really tried making a circle out of stone

[shell flower]

its worth to craft huntsman bow?

[little trench]

is there a biome where mobs are weak to slash?

[noble tapir]

It's not "hard", but it consumes a lot more stone because you place stone inside of stone.

[shell flower]

why cant i place food on the cooking station?

i placed 20 wood on campfire

its only one campfire per one cooking station?

[noble tapir]

No, but hmm, maybe place those on top of the hearth, not on the ground.

[shell flower]

okay

thx

[tired root]

It's not as popular as silver tier bow, but I think Hunting bow is worth it.

It makes the least noise around the target/ground you hit with it so it alerts less enemies.

[shell flower]

can i make teleport in trader zone?

and do mobs attack me there

[noble tapir]

In? No. Just outside of it yes.

[tired root]

Afaik no.

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage#Slash

[vocal plinth]

whats this?

[lilac coyote]

A screenshot ?

[vocal plinth]

But the stone things look as if its some structure

Is it or is not and then can i mine it down

[lilac coyote]

It's made of stone, of course you can mine it.

[dull nymph]

why won't these wolves eat?
they got sausages and raw deer meat dropped in there

[vocal plinth]

can i bring stonecutter to broken down tower and destroy the blocks?

[tired root]

I think those rock formations were intented to something until devs scrapped the idea, but they were left to the game. The stones in those formations cannot be mined if my memory is correct.

[agile rapids]

How am I meant to get any large amount of black marble out of the mistlands? like, am I supposed to plop down a portal at the skeleton just because 1.5 stacks take up my entire inventory by weight? It's basically metal, how am I meant to transport it?

[subtle parrot]

Yes

Or a cart

[tired root]

Black marble is perfectly transportable through portals.

[agile rapids]

Yeah, but, do I have no other good choices? My inventory fills up every two swings

[tired root]

Counter question who doesn't carry portal mats with them?

[prime quest]

Hmmm... maybe you carry too much other stuff with you?

[subtle parrot]

Wait until you've chopped it all, and waddle yourself through a portal

[agile rapids]

Well, maybe I can shed like 30 units but I'm capped by weight

[honest summit]

Can you suggest any video guides or blueprints for a Mistlands-grade base?
I'm terrible at coming up with my own designs or improvising, but I can follow guides and vary on them pretty well.

[tired root]

You can also build marble stacks and/or a chest on the place, mark them on map and get them later.

[agile rapids]

Oh crap those are such good ideas

Thanks!

[still blaze]

Is there a way to transfer worlds and characters from Microsoft Store Valheim to steam Valheim?

[little trench]

could club be considered the best melee weapon type in the game? blunt has the least mobs resistant to it, the most mobs weak to it, and you have frostner in that class, which is one of the most relevant weaps in the game (it performs well/very well throughout many biomes)

[prime quest]

Its one of the best for sure, until you reach Ashlands, there are some other very useful and stronger weapons.

But it always depends what you're fighting, you should carry a secondary weapon with you. Like piercing. Bow is nice anytime.

[honest summit]

What is the least annoying way to find Yagluth? Just speedrun through every plain you find? Or are there other tricks?

[subtle parrot]

Go in game, switch the save location to local instead of cloud, transfer the world files from Microsoft folder to steam folder. You'll need both the .db and .fwl files.

[subtle parrot]

That's about the best way to do it, if you've found hildir and know the location of some sealed towers, I've been lucky a couple times running into the alter on my way to a tower.

[still blaze]

In Microsoft store Valheim or steam Valheim do I switch?

[subtle parrot]

Whichever you one you want the world from, or both ideally should be switched to local. But that's about the extent of my knowledge as I don't use a pc.

[still blaze]

Alright, thanks

[still blaze]

I don’t see anywhere to do it

Figured the first part out

[shell flower]

what is worth to buy from bog witch

[still blaze]

Serving tray, scythe handle, and maybe some of the ingredients she sells if you want to make feasts

[subtle parrot]

Now you need to go make a fresh save so it makes a folder into your files and then find your valheim game files and you should see the world folder and be able to copy or move the files I mentioned earlier.

[still blaze]

Like a fresh character and world?

[subtle parrot]

No, just go into whatever world you want to with whatever character, save and then log out and it should create a local save of them

[still blaze]

I didn’t have to transfer world files. Making it local worked. Is there a way to transfer characters?

[subtle parrot]

That's good to know, and I think it'll be the same process just with your character saves in game rather than world saves

[shell flower]

what does kvastur?

we killed the broom in bog witch house

[subtle parrot]

It'll drop a trophy, and eventually it'll respawn

[shell flower]

oh ok

[still blaze]

I need that trophy for my kitchen 🤣

[still blaze]

Only some of my characters from Microsoft store transferred

I think all but the one I wanted

[little trench]

Cured squirrel hamstring

for https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Tonic_of_Ratatosk

[subtle parrot]

That's strange, not sure how to deal with that, unfortunately

[delicate condor]

is 1 oven enough for 2 players?
or should we have 2?

[quick tide]

there is anyy chance that my old map DOES NOT have bog witch? i imported the files to the site

[vocal plinth]

I spent the entire day mining 5k. stone

[subtle parrot]

If your world has some unexplored swamps, she should spawn in one of them

[quick tide]

i will hunt later

[still blaze]

Solved it, I selected the wrong character to make local

[subtle parrot]

Glad you figured it out, sorry I couldn't be more help

[vocal plinth]

How can i dig underwater?

[prime quest]

He is watching xD

I just wish now i didn't destroy the tower below

[tough hare]

There was a glitch you can use to go down under water by using the roof pieces. I don't know which one though, as I've never used it.

The other option would be turning on devcommands and use the free fly command.
But since you're most likely playing on that friend's game, those won't work for you.

[vocal plinth]

well its my server, but id like a legit way

boat keeps hitting the surface during storms, longship gets 1/3rd durability scalped off

[tough hare]

The trick with the roof pieces is legit.

Just cheesy.

Other than that, as long as you can stand in the water you can mine it.
So try that one first.

[vocal plinth]

alr

I think circle towers are not an option due to the floor

[buoyant peak]

What's the relation?

Edit: nvm, just saw it

Snap them into the inner sides of the 2x1 stone pieces

[tired root]

You could try using hoe while on Raft. Place it a bit deeper, jump on it and use hoe on spot you want to lower.

[vocal plinth]

this doesn't look nice either

[delicate condor]

best way to farm greydwarf eyes?

[vocal plinth]

find a spawner in black forest and camp it

[delicate condor]

I did but the spawn rate is so low 💀

[frosty frost]

No better way so....

[delicate condor]

👌

[steep tusk]

5k stone?
So like... 1 copper node? 😏

[vocal plinth]

why did the left one snap to the middle but the right one isn't?

[steep tusk]

Because it doesn't like you.

[vocal plinth]

Is there anything i can do about this little gap, like are the stones shaped at random or did i not snap everything perfectly here?

[true steeple]

The stones are not perfect cubes

[steep tusk]

Wooden Beam up the side if you can. That's about it.

Corewood if you need a thicc beam.

[little trench]

you get tons of greydwarf eyes when afk blood magic training

and stone and wood

[vocal plinth]

Do i continue like that or build from smaller units everything?

[delicate condor]

with skeletons? ahah

[little trench]

ya

[delicate condor]

I'm currently at iron age tho

idk, I remeber a while ago when I used to play, I had SO MANY greydwarf eyes I didn't know where to put them

now it feels like they're much rarer?

[frosty frost]

That always happens 🙂 when you dont need certain item you are finding it constantly and have full chests of it. When you actually need it you dont have any anywhere 😄

[vocal plinth]

Are the stone blocks measurements metre long?

1x1 is that metres?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[vocal plinth]

how many metres is a troll

XD thats like my nemesis

[delicate condor]

is t here a keybind for discarding items from inventory?

[tired root]

That reminded of one meme pic about the surplus of those eyes, that was before H&H patch added Eyescream food recipe.

[vocal plinth]

just drag them out of ur inventory

[delicate condor]

yeah that I know, was wondering if there was a keybind for that instead

[frosty frost]

Not sure but try Ctrl and left click

[tired root]

Was it ctrl + left click

[vocal plinth]

which one looks better yall?

surely the one on the right?

[tired root]

Right imo

[frosty frost]

I do like the right better, yes

[tired root]

Sure it takes more stone but aesthetics before anything

[frosty frost]

7 meters 😄

[vocal plinth]

excellent

[delicate condor]

you still using troll armor even though you're in iron age?

[vocal plinth]

yea, what other options are there

[frosty frost]

And which armor do you use when getting first iron

[delicate condor]

for light armor? there's the root armor set

[delicate condor]

im using this rn, im also in iron age

it's the "troll armor" of the iron age, basically

it boosts your archery skill by +15

[tired root]

I usually end up with Iron helmet, Root Harnesk and Troll leggings.

[frosty frost]

Troll armor is completly acceptable for swamps, i dont see your problem

[delicate condor]

it is for swamps until you get the swamp armor set

[vocal plinth]

how many abominations did u kill, dayumn

[delicate condor]

root set > troll set, objectively; I was trying to help him out.
he skipped a tier.

[frosty frost]

And how do you know how far they have progressed?

[vocal plinth]

i apreciate

[tired root]

Experienced players appreciate Troll armor for the lack of movement speed penalty.

[vocal plinth]

all goooood, i shared

[delicate condor]

they're pretty easy, if you play stamina style just hi-frame their attacks and keep stabbing with sword/dagger (I use dagger) or whatever slash weapon you have

they only have 3 attacks, you learn them quickly

just dont waste time using fire arrows, you'll take 10 mins per abomination and like 200 arrows

[frosty frost]

best to use sword and buckler

[tired root]

I like Battleaxe against Abominations.

[delicate condor]

I'm a dagger lover, it still has slash damage

I upgraded razoer dagger from the sea chitine to ++3 and I hit them pretty hard

[vocal plinth]

atgeir for life.

[frosty frost]

That is true, tho it has also pierce so its a bit worse than sword or axe, still viable either way

[vocal plinth]

does valheim have ladders?

[frosty frost]

The steep jumpy stairs are ladders

[tired root]

Backstab damage with Razor deals devastating damage to Abominations too.

[frosty frost]

Tbf, to pretty much anything before mountains 😄

[dull nymph]

my friend had to afk, and closed the game from desktop (and not from in game button)
she relogs back in, her character is insanely rollbacked from more than an hour ago.
Back to a time where she died, and was going to recuperate her corpse
Except her corpse doesn't exist in the world anymore, bc she rollbacked, the world didn't, her body is no more
Does that just....happen???

[tired root]

Ofc, just added. But they get aggroed quite easily.

[vocal plinth]

ohhh i really dont like the jumping animation xddd

superior

[steep tusk]

Don't have to jump them. @vocal plinth just build 2 of the steeps snapped side by side and wall up the middle part.

Walk**

[vocal plinth]

ye

still, this ifs far more beautiful

is there like any light source that you only need to place down once?

[tired root]

It is actually "falling animation" that shows for every step, the falling animation was changed when Mistlands patch was added so it looks silly when walking up those ladders.

[steep tusk]

Many

[frosty frost]

Yes, but further in the game

[vocal plinth]

how much further im wasting resin and wood daily

[tired root]

Until 6th biome.

[steep tusk]

Stop caring about looks until you have all options available to you 😉

[frosty frost]

Use the scones for now, they last pretty long, the first infinite light source you will get in mistlands

[vocal plinth]

I hit an issue with the height

[frosty frost]

Use iron wood poles

[vocal plinth]

Hide them in the walls?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[vocal plinth]

and would i have to do this from the ground up in corners orrr how

[tired root]

You will always need more iron

[steep tusk]

They have to touch the ground.

[vocal plinth]

oooof

[frosty frost]

Yep, from gound up

[vocal plinth]

7m seems to be the limit, on 8th meter its yellow

[tired root]

You could build them inner corners, like a skeleton inside a stone outsides.

[vocal plinth]

hmm

too costly for early game

[steep tusk]

What's wrong with yellow?

Yellow is fine.
Orange is fine.
Red is fine.

Deep, bold red is the only issue.

[tired root]

Yeah, builders will always need more iron.

[vocal plinth]

oh in that case

lets go up a few more meters

how high do u think i need to be standing so that trolls wouldnt be able to reach me?

i dont even know how many troll smacks can stone withstand furthermore if its aoe dmg does the dmg spread out evenly?

[hardy veldt]

is it a bad idea to break a dvergr crate and book it

[fluid gale]

what is better for the swamp, iron atgeir or mace with buckler? Ive been using the bronze atgeir but now that i can upgrade to iron idk if i should keep using it

[subtle parrot]

The mace will probably be more helpful in the next biome than the atgeir, but either will be good for swamp

[tired root]

Both. Both is good. But mace is king in Swamps.

[fluid gale]

thanks!

[agile rapids]

is root chest or carapace chest better for queen?

[tough hare]

Only if you don't cheese it.

The Dverger in the tower will attack you without cheesing it.

[tired root]

Afaik two of her attacks deals pierce. But Carapace chest and Bonemass has been my usual goto against her.

[vocal plinth]

why can I snap stone blocks on the right, but not on the left?

It snaps right on top, but doesnt snap in the middle, on the left side only in the ss

[subtle parrot]

Cycle the snap points

[vocal plinth]

I did

[subtle parrot]

In the ss you're blocking the piece, so idk what you're really asking i guess

Could you clarify?

[vocal plinth]

on right side(this) I can snap on the middle block

on the left side, i cant snap to middle

[subtle parrot]

Because your snap point is set to a corner where it meets the inside corner of the floor piece on one side and not on the other, from what i can tell, and the other side wasn't lined up the same as the other

[vocal plinth]

its weird now, tdoestn snap middle at all

[tired root]

Put a temporal 1x1 block to create a snap point for 2x1 block.

[vocal plinth]

k worked

it seems it needs an example to follow

whats the difference how close i plant my carrots? <1m >1m?

[tough hare]

toggle walk (default c), plant one crop, then move forward without moving your mouse.
The moment the plant image turns from red into green, you can plant it.

[frosty frost]

You can probably get away with halving the spaces between those 😄

[tough hare]

Later when you are more experienced, you can still do the same while on the normal speed.

[shell flower]

why in this game theres no fucking anchor

or is there?

[frosty frost]

Because the boat isnt going anywhere once you step out of it (provided nothing like a mob will push it somewhere)

[shell flower]

it doesnt move?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[vocal plinth]

whats the difference

[vocal plinth]

its very slow, cant bare it, i sprint plant

[frosty frost]

You can get more crops in the same area

[vocal plinth]

no but like does planting right next to one another affect the growth rate or something?

[tough hare]

It may be slow, but at least you're working at the most effective way.
Not everything needs to be done at 200 km/h. Patience is a virtue and that saying got some meaning behind it.

[frosty frost]

Nope 🙂 just dont put it too close because one of the plants will die

[last osprey]

It's actually just as fast because the limit is your planting speed, not the distance you move 😋

the only difference is needing more room

well and harvesting stuff with the scythe is a lot easier if it's closer together

[vocal plinth]

no

walking is slower than planting speed

even while sprinting i dont max out my planting speed

[little trench]

you can just spam click while moving laterally and it will be planted correctly

like the game limits ur planting speed so it comes out right

[last osprey]

huh. 800+ hours into the game and i still learn something new. Gonna have to try that.

[little trench]

ikr, makes planting way less tedious

[agile rapids]

is 'a foul smell from the swamp' (blobs and oozers) a always on raid or a bonemass only raid? because I'm in the mist lands and i got the foul smell 5 times in a row

[little trench]

think always a raid but after bonemass its just blobs

[shell flower]

after i killed elder there should be a raid on my base?

[steep tusk]

Raids are not that scripted.

[shell flower]

oh can you explain me how they work?

[steep tusk]

Wiki

[shell flower]

can you link?

[tough hare]

Can't you google?

[shell flower]

no im busy farming items

but fr i read about them and it said after elder was deaften there should come 2 trolls and some others mobs from dark forests

and i want to hire trolls for chopping wood for me

and im looking forward to raid

[subtle parrot]

On normal, like every 43 minutes or something, there's a chance you will get raided if you have 3 or more base items within 20m of you. Within that chance there's a chance to get any of several raids.

[shell flower]

and also what is the fastest way to farm wood and stone?

[steep tusk]

Just play the game.

[shell flower]

ok thx

[tough hare]

There's a check for raids every 45 minutes or so. If the check shows that some parameters are true, there is a chance that a raid will spawn. If not, no raid for sure.
So you can have 6 raids in a row within 4 hours or have 6 hours with only one.

Also, if you had checked the pinned messages, there's a link to a wiki page in there.......

[shell flower]

okay

[somber spruce]

Hello, everyone. I have a simple question. Do tamed wolves starve to death if you don't feed them?

[subtle parrot]

No

[tough hare]

Nope, they just won't reproduce.

[somber spruce]

Awesome. Thank you. they were starting to eat me out of house and home XD

[little trench]

for wood, use troll that carries log and make him hit trees. for stone, mine those huge stone pillars in plains biome

[shell flower]

im not on plains but thanks what is the best gear for bonemass?

[little trench]

prolly just max iron so u have lotta armor in case u mess up and get smacked

[last osprey]

he only does 80 blunt. You can tank that easily even in root armor if you don't take every hit unblocked.

[shell flower]

not root armor?

and is abyssal dagger ok?

[last osprey]

iron armor is a waste of iron imo. It's not necessary for swamps and silver is much easier to farm (and useless for anything BUT weapons and armor, unlike iron).

[shell flower]

i farmed with friend and we have made armors and we have still 368 left

[last osprey]

abyssal dagger is great, just not against Bonemass (he resists pierce & slash damage and is only vulnerable to blunt).

[shell flower]

how about iron mace?

i saw it on youtube tutorial

[last osprey]

that's cute. May even be enough to build a small castle if you don't get too elaborate. And avoid using iron cage walls as much as possible of course 😂

[ripe bone]

iron armor is fine*

[last osprey]

seriously you will never have enough iron if you like building

[ripe bone]

i don't think a first timer should worry about weird meta playstyles

[shell flower]

yeah that is why we farmed that many

[last osprey]

yes iron mace is very much worth it. best weapon against Bonemass - without skipping ahead at least - (and works on everything in swamp aside from abominations) and it'll serve you well in the Mountains too.

[shell flower]

better than dagger?

[last osprey]

much

[shell flower]

but overally?

[last osprey]

overall they're both good, daggers do better dps but maces have better range, knockback and stagger. Also different damage types of course.

You're not limited to just one weapon type though, resistances and weaknesses mean you're pretty much required to use multiple if you don't want to make things harder on yourself.

[shell flower]

okay i get it

[last osprey]

for swamp and mountains specifically blunt damage is just better because of enemy resistances

[ripe bone]

what damages are enemies in the mountains resistant to..?.....aside from the stone golem.

everything is pretty viable in them

[shell flower]

is it worth to lvl up mace?

[last osprey]

you don't need to level up anything. Just play the game and try to avoid dying as much as possible and your skills will rise fine on their own.

[shell flower]

ok

[last osprey]

grinding skills is just wasted effort if you die a lot since the more you have the more you lose

[gloomy dagger]

how does fishing work?

can someone do it in a boat at full speed while another player steers

[last osprey]

i don't think so? I don't play mp so i don't know for sure but fish do have to physically bite your lure, and i imagine that may be kind of difficult if you're sailing at full speed.

[little trench]

lvling up skills is worth but also not the whole world if u dont do it. u can "finish the game" with 30s in stats for example

[gloomy dagger]

how is it meant to be done

[last osprey]

You find a spot with fish, pick the proper bait, throw out your line and wait until one bites. Then you try to reel it in before you run out of stamina.

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

[tough hare]

Better for the boat to not move at all. If you see a good fishing spot, simply let go of the rudder and jump overboard, as this will stop the boat completely.

After that, follow the wiki link zock1514 posted.

Keep in mind you may need different kinds of bait. Which means you will have to have the food preparation table build as it will require certain trophies.

btw, @gloomy dagger How did your building project end up? I never saw an update of you managed to solve your problem.

[gloomy dagger]

thank you for the interest!
The building project is on hold, we have not done anything since the last time i talked to you
because it became abundantly clear that we need ironwood poles and we did not have the iron, we are on the quest for iron now

[tough hare]

So it's off to the swamp then.
I hope you've prepared yourself well enough for it?

[bitter kiln]

||Storm, blood, or root on crossbow||? And what about for the bow?

[tired root]

Storm for crossbow, Storm or Root for bow IMO.

[last osprey]

Blood for crossbow, the others are barely worth it because the proc rate is fixed and crossbows are slow.
Imo gemmed bows aren't worth it atm because spinesnap beats them for anything neutral or weak to spirit. Which is pretty much everything in Ashlands except asksvin and dvergr iirc.

[bitter kiln]

Sweet, thank you very much! Still using a lvl 1 Ripper and a spine snap bow since I couldn't decide. Makes sense not to go root for the crossbow with the low rate of fire

[last osprey]

storm bow is very nice when it procs though

[bitter kiln]

Interesting, thank you! Am I going to be benefit much from blood with the crossbow though? I usually am full health when I am using it, except maybe when fighting valkyrie. I usually use it for an opener and then switch to melee as needed.

[last osprey]

i generally use it with bubble staff to safely lower my hp

YMMV without that

[bitter kiln]

Huh, I had never considered that. I have like a melee/ranged set up with 2 hp and 1 stam food, and then a magic set up with 2 eitr and 1 stam food. I haven't dabbled much with a hybrid set-up, but certainly intriguing. I should try that

[tired root]

Root bow is also good especially with higher skill when you can shoot more arrows faster and proc the root effect with better possibility.

I have played few deathless worlds where I value Iolite or Jade weapons more than Bloodstone weapons.

[last osprey]

with the mistland and ashlands feasts you can cast a bubble and still be nearly on-par with a SHH build in terms of stam and hp (you're dropping about 50hp but get more stam and a decent chunk of eitr in exchange).

[tired root]

That is true, but they seem not to be on the point where the Ashlands feast would be available option yet.

[bitter kiln]

I will definitely give that a try. What armor do you roll with that set-up? Mix and match or still flametal?

[last osprey]

Fenris

If you have a bubble you don't need defense

and Fenris is better for getting the room to recast if it breaks

[bitter kiln]

I am at the point where I am just clearing fortresses off the map before fighting the final boss. I have a little OCD and like to make all the weapons so I am just farming a bunch of stones. I think I have 5/20 so far. And I made ||Dyrnwyn|| last night, since I wanted to do that first as well.

[frosty frost]

Tbh, Embla set + ratatosk tonik would work extremly well imo, that way you have very fast eitr regen and more speed than basic fenris

[bitter kiln]

Makes sense, I will definitely have to try that. I am a little scared though since I haven't died since the mountains and don't like the idea of losing skills, lmao. Makes me run mage a lot less than i would normally, since it feels like one mistake is death

[last osprey]

as long as you have half-decent stamina management dying as a mage is actually pretty difficult

because you use different resources for attacking and movement you basically always have the stam to sprint or jump or dodge roll

[bitter kiln]

Good point, which is usually the most common cause of death with a melee/ranged player

[tired root]

Ask set is quite good for mixed speed and armor.

Plus it gives the Ask's Endurance buff.

[last osprey]

Pierce bonus damage is pretty sweet if you make use of it too

[tired root]

Just a note, the amount of gems from fortresses is very much affected by RNG. So I recommend making gem-infused versions of at least those weapon types you usually use.

[last osprey]

Though i'm mostly using Mistwalker and Demolisher still so it's not that useful for me personally

[bitter kiln]

Oh that would be fun! I could mix in more ranged combat, isntead of just using it as an opener all the time

[tired root]

Bows, crossbows, spears, atgeirs, knives.

[bitter kiln]

Good advice, thank you! I'll probably make my favorites first, and then just stockpile the rest for now. In addition to the thundering axes I have, I want the thunder sword as well. and then bow and xbow recommendations you guys gave. Then some kind of slayer because I like 2h swords. and idk what to do for a mace. maybe root. then ill probably just hold off. Oh, I might upgrade my Dundr as well since that is still lvl 1

[last osprey]

Klossen is actually pretty good. The root effect works well with the knockback to keep enemies away from you.

[tired root]

I usually go with just regular Slayer (I like the look of it the most). Klossen is one of my favorites of all Ashlands weapons, it pairs very well with Thundering Axes.

[last osprey]

blood slayer for me, also for looks

[tired root]

Klossen my beloved.

[bitter kiln]

klossen?

[last osprey]

i pretty much made it just to hang it on my wall, i almost never use 2h swords 😂

[tired root]

Root Mace.

[bitter kiln]

Oh, that's the root mace? cool that it has a unique name

[tired root]

Maces have specific names.

Storm Star and Bloodgeon.

[bitter kiln]

Oh damnit. now i want to make all of them lol

[tired root]

I never not craft Klossen.

[bitter kiln]

Hmm, do you guys ever transfer some supplies over to a second world to raid another 20 fortresses for gems? lol

[last osprey]

it's a pretty strong contender for the first flametal weapon i'll make

after the crossbow because i need that to murder valkyries

[tired root]

Also don't sleep on Primal Axes! They also pair very well with Klossen as you can keep bigger targets longer rooted when hitting with them.

[last osprey]

i'm too lazy to transfer supplies, i just pack a few stacks of food and the mats for a drakkar and off we go.

the rest needs to be gathered in the new world

[tired root]

Haven't needed. I have 2 worlds where I've raided all fortresses and holding the gems in chest for future use.

[bitter kiln]

Makes sense guys. Well cool, thank you for all the advice!

[tired root]

Don't know if you are spear liking fella (according to your screenshot) but also one useful weapon is Splitnir the Storming (Iolite version). I use it a lot against Volture, Morgen, Asksvin and Fallen Valkyrie.

[bitter kiln]

Oh! I haven't thought of that! I don't mind spears. I really like their secondary attack. I just sort of fell off using them. I usually make the flint spear, then hold off until the fang spear and use that to kill Loxes in the plains. But this time i made the blackmetal atgier and used that. And then I haven't used them since a lot of enemies have been resistant in the mistlands and ashlands. But I'd love a reason to use one, so thank you!

[barren compass]

am i the only one who plays with stamina off

[tired root]

Yeah, some people think spears fall off but not that much IMO, they are cheap and effective weapons. There are enemies that resist all phys damage types (Seekers, Soldiers, Morgen) so against them spear is also valid option.

So, fast spear hits against Morgen gives more possibilities to proc lightning effect which they are weak against, the only faster weapon type is Berserkir axes.

Voltures sometimes are bit higher so higher hitbox of spear can hit them better when standing on ground.

Against Asksvin you can throw it before it gets alerted, run to pick it and kill it fast while it is staggered (backstab throw damage usually staggers non star Asksvin). Sometimes it can oneshot when lightning effect procs, which is funny.

Against Valkyrie you can throw it or jump attack it after parrying. I like to initiate with crossbow and deal large damage with it and finish with spear when it's close.

Hope that will help give some insight how useful spear can be!

[ripe bone]

what is even that

[barren compass]

i dont study 12 hours a day to come home and fry my brain over stamina management and slow exploring

[barren compass]

setkey staminarate 0, my beloved

[frosty frost]

I do on my test world, not on normal playthroughs tho

[ripe bone]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii----.......youu.....do you......i guess.....

😅

[golden escarp]

I don't really think stamina management is that big of a deal once you level up your running and jumping

[barren compass]

im using a dual wielding mod and 1 double axe combo drains 90% of my stamina

[tired root]

Lingering stamina mead & tasty meads are quite the key.

[golden escarp]

Oh I see, using heavy weapons

[golden escarp]

this

[dim garden]

is there any way to remove parts of the mist around my base in mistlands? lanterns or something like that?

[ripe bone]

i just caaan't relate, for the half of my hours that i've complained about stamina it wasn't enough of a problem for me to alter the game, and now i'm at the point where its just the status quo and i have stopped caring

[tired root]

Wisp torches.

[barren compass]

i will definitely play the game full vanilla as it was intended at some point

[bitter kiln]

This is really cool! I'll definitely make a Splitnir the Storming now. Which is good, because I was missing one anyways

[ripe bone]

oh nooo no stamina, ree thats annoying, gotta wait a second, aaanyways.

[ripe bone]

have you yet to do so..?..

[barren compass]

nope

if the game has mods, i'd rather enjoy the full mod experience then

[ripe bone]

that actually makes me a bit sad

[barren compass]

;(

[ripe bone]

lol

[barren compass]

same thing with Terraria, i don't think i've ever played it vanilla..

[ripe bone]

soo you like to spoil the vanilla experiences for games for yourself 😬

[barren compass]

i like,,, expansions

very big ones

[ripe bone]

expansions upon things that you have yet to discover or find out if you like as they are :P

[barren compass]

the game is still fun to discover nonetheless

might as well discover more

[ripe bone]

i played vanilla terraria 10 times before i switched altogether over to modded with calamity, because it is better, i am not aware of any valheim mods that are particularly interesting to me.

[tired root]

Glad I could be for help! 👍

[ripe bone]

while i'm at it i don't feel like going through the hassle of acquiring mods, it feels so refreshing to just launch valheim, the base game.

[barren compass]

my mods are more like

improvements, better chest, easier chest searching, quickstacking, better portals (cause vanilla portals are a spaghetti) as for the utility ones

gameplay expanders like warfare and monstrum and odin series

[ripe bone]

For preface before i get too much into this, I am a purist.

[barren compass]

I mold the game into what I imagine it should be like

I feel like all the utility mods
should be vanilla, I have no idea why devs never thought of implementing quick stacking to nearby chests lol

[ripe bone]

I'm afraid i don't imagine it should be anything as it is not my project that i have created or actively work on, it is iron gates, i suggest things, but i am content to anticipate what happens next, and to stay in the dark about it.

i don't think i have any wants or anything that the deep north should be, i have no idea what it will be and i can't wait, but there should definitely be bears.

[lilac coyote]

They thought of it, they just don't want it.

[barren compass]

Is that some upcoming update?

[lilac coyote]

That's the final biome.

[barren compass]

are you aware if they're planning to do massive optimizations to the game at some point?

[lilac coyote]

We get constant optimisations, I don't think a specific optimisation patch is necessary.

[barren compass]

I guess it's a given that a building game is resource heavy no matter the graphics

[lilac coyote]

Its not really a building game and the graphics are current gen.

[torn quarry]

hey question.. i would like to build on the plain on the outside of the map just to plan builds with a completely flat terrain any devcommands that can prevent the push effect thats pushing my character out constantly?

[subtle parrot]

My guess would be fly or maybe debugmode, but I've never gone off the map before so idk

[ruby comet]

Is there a way to make your corpse location show up again if you accidentally cleared it off the map?

[frosty frost]

I am afraid not

[ruby comet]

darn

kind of stupid game logic if you ask me

[frosty frost]

I mean... this is user error...

[ruby comet]

Lol, always blame poor game design on user error. but ok

it is user error yes, but because of poor game design

[frosty frost]

You clicking on a button when you didnt mean to is poor game design... Am i understanding that correctly?

[lilac coyote]

Poor game design? People would complain if you COULDN'T remove them.

Presumably you can search for the gravestone if you left it.

[frail cave]

to be fair there could be like a confirmation prompt

[frosty frost]

I really do feel that is unnecessary, when i do sometimes mistakenly delete a mark on the map i just put another one there immediately and name it what it was before. If there was like a window/prompt every time i actually need to erase a marker, i think that would be just annoying.

[agile rapids]

So like, what's the best way to kill dvrger without cheesing? Im using carapace armor and melee mistlands weapons? Cuz I tried it and am now soft-locked.

[frosty frost]

To focus on the mages and starred ones first, basically take out the strongest one first when they are still friendly, if they are already aggroed then try bombs, they are useful for groups and also in infested mines, other than that like any other large group, try to pick them one by one if you can

[subtle parrot]

If you see a mage with a lantern staff, iirc that's a healer. Definitely a priority so they don't keep getting healed.

[agile rapids]

Hmmm,, I went to the cellar and tried to 1-tap the support, but he ran away, so I switched to the ice mage, then 3 rouges came down and I

Should I have run HHS or HHH?

[ruby comet]

Never said anything about not removing them, that is absolutely needed. Funny how folks will go to lengths like this to defend poor functionality. Not saying the game sucks, just that 1 thing and if you don't think it could be better you are kidding yourself.

[subtle parrot]

Hhs should be fine, but getting yourself trapped in the cellar was probably not the best strat

[frosty frost]

I still dont understand how is having one button to place and another to remove pins poor functionality.

[ruby comet]

you didn't hear what I said then

[lilac coyote]

Oh we heard. You missclicked so the game should change.

[ruby comet]

This is comical, okay you are right, games don't get better from feedback.

[frosty frost]

We still dont know WHAT the feedback is XD

[lilac coyote]

Of course they do. Now who's putting words into other people's mouths?

[ruby comet]

Why so hostile just because I asked if there was a way to relocate a corpse if you by mistake unclicked it?

[agile rapids]

Lol, I thought they had less hp then they did and that I could do a 123 combo to kill them as they trickle down.(That wasn't the case) they just shrugged it off and then murdered me lol

[ruby comet]

this is so comical. It is a tiny piece of bad functionality so heavily defended....geez have a good night

[frosty frost]

There is no way to put the same marker back, however noone is stopping you to put another pin at the same place

[lilac coyote]

Once again, not bad functionality. You even admit yourself it's needed.

[ruby comet]

There is this thing call it was an accident? did you hear that part? I didn't notice at the time

[subtle parrot]

Lol yeh they're pretty tough little dudes, definitely want to have some space to maneuver and run away when/if necessary

[lilac coyote]

We all know it was an accident, literally no-one is disputing that.

[agile rapids]

Hmmmm...... Do they chase you particularly hard or do they prefer to stay with their mining?

Are they deathsqitos or seeker soldiers?

[subtle parrot]

They're pretty slow, so outrunning them enough to get them to turn back shouldn't be an issue

[agile rapids]

Ah. Scary little bastards nonetheless.

Ughh.... Guess I can't ragequit forever.

[bitter kiln]

What do you guys think about a magic only playthrough? Obviously it would be OP in the early game, but perhaps with some restrictions you could maintain some balance.

First off, you would obviously need to take items from a different world to introduce magic in the first place. I was thinking like bringing over some Eitr food and lvl 1 staves. And probably lvl 1 eitr-weave. It probably would not make sense to use any upgraded staves until you are able to make them yourself in mistlands.

To try to add more balance, you could limit what weapons to use, and unlock additional magic weapons per biome. Like frost staff in meadows, fire staff in BF, staff of protection in swamp, and maybe dead raiser in the mountains. Then maybe in the plains you could add a piece of the eitr-weave armor. Like only starting with the hood, at some point getting the legs, and then get the chest in the plains or something. Or maybe introduce minor eitr mead.

And you could further limit which foods are available by biome. like maybe 1 eitr food to start. and then add a magecap, and so on.

Any suggestions would be helpful!

[vocal plinth]

Erm im newbie, in which biome do i unlock my first magic item?

[frosty frost]

6th, mistlands

[vocal plinth]

That's a long way

[frosty frost]

True, but worth it 🙂

[vocal plinth]

Do i have to kill something to het it?

[frosty frost]

Technically no, but you will probably.

[vocal plinth]

So can that thing be found in a chest?

Cause if so then in theory its possible to sail to mistlands aaaaand wander your way to the chest?

Unless there's an equipment of deathsquitoes there

[frosty frost]

You will see 😄 i will not spoil (but it is not that easy)

[last osprey]

you never just find equipment in chests

[vocal plinth]

The goal for today is to find a good swamp with many crypts and a safe biome nearby, get ridiculous amount of iron, gear up and try to kill an abomination

[vocal plinth]

Well I've so far been to 3 biomes and i feel like things are still largely unexplored so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt

[last canyon]

has anyone here played with someone who lives far like I might play with my friend who is turkish ( as NA ) so I wonder how bad the ping will be for them

in some games like payday2 the lag is basically non existent so I wonder how it would be in valheim

[noble tapir]

it's not great with valheim.

[last canyon]

Ok thx

[noble tapir]

i hope they work on improving the netcode, but it's some of the worst netcode you could possibly get when there's large distance between people.

[last canyon]

Was hoping it wasn’t bad cuz a lot of pve multiplayer games basically erase the lag entirely somehow and my friend rlly hates high ping

[little trench]

can work. i did a playthrough where i got fire + protection staff on day 72 during silver age, only used the cooked mushroom food and it wasnt insanely OP (on very hard tho). i think limiting the amount of eitr u have might be the big factor, so u cant spam spells

[bitter kiln]

Very cool! Yeah, definitely agree about limiting the Eitr. Can't be spamming fireballs in the meadows, lmao.

[noble tapir]

how did you get fire/prot staff, during "silver age"

[little trench]

and also i think you could still use some melee weapons. you know gandalf used a sword also

just basically speedrunned it, did bare minimum stuff

for example cheese killed moder with bonfire

got lucky with infested mines also

cleared em mostly with stuff like ooze bombs and stagbreaker

[bitter kiln]

Lmao, such a badass. I was already thinking of literally naming the character after him, lol. But yeah, the player can supplement with whatever gear is available in the respective biome. I think it would be a lot of fun!

[eternal pivot]

Hey, I downloaded Valheim+ 0.9.9.11 (newest) and put the files in my local folder.
Now I can't start up the game anymore???
What do I do??

[true steeple]

#mods-issues

[lilac coyote]

Even though it's not a multilayer game, the networking is fine as long as you have a reasonable stable connection between players (no WiFi, no VPN) and keep instances and light source numbers to a reasonable amount when building.

[vocal plinth]

found beees, yippiee

I ahve not seena village of this size yet

why is he there

THERES an armyy of swamp dudess

reeeeeeeeeee run

[lilac coyote]

It's his village.

[vocal plinth]

im dead

epic

there's so many of them

and they have spawners and stars

[true steeple]

Now it’s their turn

[vocal plinth]

does this mean i didnt lose levels?

[true steeple]

It means you wont lose them if you die again

You should’ve been rested. Never do anything without rested

[dapper moat]

no skill drain last 10 mins after death to prevent losing a bunch of levels going for your body/death loop

[vocal plinth]

oh so if i retrieve my stuff by then i dont lose anything?

[vocal plinth]

i just learned that

[true steeple]

No. If you die again you won’t lose more skills

[dapper moat]

you lose level on initial death but thats about it. 5% of levels

[vocal plinth]

who's the king now

[tired root]

There can be found some villages in Meadows further from spawn point where draugr live. But you got to know that the hard way it seems lol.

[vocal plinth]

I was not presented the options lol

just looking for bees

[tired root]

Look under that floor where you sit, there can be treasures.

I found out that just a while ago.

[vocal plinth]

next to meadows damn

odin is with me, we good

[vocal plinth]

Oh yeah i found the ravens chest right when i sat down, no good loot tho

[dull nymph]

does iron lose hp under rain?

as in iron gate and cage wall

[little trench]

nice, there's an opportunity for u to build that into a base. can do like each house has it's own purpose "blacksmith house", "restaurant", etc

[vocal plinth]

nahh I already started building my medium sized castle out of stone

will handle trolls far better

[tired root]

Yes, rain lowers their hp to half.

[dull nymph]

oki thanks

I'm trying to level this ground but for some reason, this exact spot refuses to be flat
I tried mining and filling it back, no matter what I do, when I start pressing level ground again, it makes these awfull shapes

there used to be a viking tomb there, but would that change the way the ground flattens?

[vocal plinth]

carrots for days

only this much

i expected there to befar more

my farm is too small to replant all tho lol

[tired root]

Just a question: have you found any NPCs in game (they have their own icons on map when you find any of them).

[vocal plinth]

yes

[tired root]

The one found in Swamps sells one ingredient for a tool that makes harvesting very satisfying after defeating 4th boss. Just sayin.

[vocal plinth]

i haventy found any npcs in swamps yet

just harvesting the farm while breweing poison resistance meads

[worldly grotto]

argh wolfs

[vocal plinth]

thinking where to invest my 32iron

[ebon marsh]

Do you have a longship

[frail cairn]

is it possible to get a pickaxe pre-eithkyr

[vocal plinth]

yes

[true steeple]

Yes, if you get a troll to mine some copper and tin

[vocal plinth]

I just spotted like 3 leviathans

[true steeple]

Have you got a level 7 forge?

[vocal plinth]

7? no chance

maybe lvl 2 or 3

[true steeple]

I always make improvements as soon as possible

[vocal plinth]

my recent activities

whats that

[true steeple]

The map icon? Hildir. Don't go near that plains biome to your right.

[vocal plinth]

Yeah I avoid deadsquitoes

i dont get her point

she sells cosmetics?

what are sealed towers

[ebon marsh]

Dungeons found in the over world

[vocal plinth]

shouldering tomb

[vocal plinth]

whats special about them

[true steeple]

They all have minibosses

[ebon marsh]

The bosses in each of the 3 types of dungeons from hildirs quest drop chests which can be used to upgrade the amount of wares she sells

[vocal plinth]

hmm

[ebon marsh]

I believe the idea is to seek each one out when you are in the late stage progression of that biome, smouldering tombs is Black Forest, howling caverns is mountain and sealed towers is plains

[tough hare]

You can do the fights with those mini bosses when you are at the same level as the biome their locations are in, but it'll be quite hard.
Or you wait 1 - 2 biomes and move in then.

So Smoldering Tomb: Black Forest or Swamp / Mountains,
Howling Cavern: Mountains / Plains
Sealed Towers: Plains / Mistlands.

[vocal plinth]

Does anythithing she sell rn have a use? Like that bath? or barber stuff

[little trench]

nah lmao

only use is if you wanna RP as a peasant farmer or similar i think

u can equip her stuff for more farming skill so u get more yield

[tough hare]

I think that's more for yourself to decide.
Some say she does, some say she doesn't.

What she offers also depends at how many and which chest you return.
So why the first things she sells don't look to attractive, later items may feel more useful.

But the bigger benefit of her is that you will fight 3/4 mini bosses, each with their own trophy and their own raid.
And that you can do each fight in multiple locations, thus giving you the option to keep the chests for your own decoration and returning them to her to get the new goodies.

[vocal plinth]

I see another enemy village

[tired root]

I think returning the chest from Smouldering tomb is worth it, she sells farming set after that which gives +25 farming skill when wearing (hat and tunic/dress), which increases the chances for extra yields from crops.

[tough hare]

Didn't her clothes give a stamina reduction for farming / building too?

[little trench]

ya

[vocal plinth]

aaand another

[little trench]

purge em

[vocal plinth]

they busy

[little trench]

aw they're out for a walk 😭 so cute

[vocal plinth]

xd

[little trench]

dig a hole and keep em as pets

[tough hare]

If you keep the spawners in that place "alive" you will never run out of entrails for sausages.
Not that you won't anyway given how often you will find them in other biomes, but it's something to keep in mind......

[vocal plinth]

can lox go through a portal?

[tough hare]

Nope. None of your animals can. Unless they're still in the egg state.

[vocal plinth]

soo many

[vocal plinth]

do lox have eggs?

[tough hare]

Nope

[vocal plinth]

How do i get one home then

by ship?

[tough hare]

You can ride it home. They can swim, but only short distances.
The other option is to load one aboard your longboat.

[vocal plinth]

hell yeah

I know i should be here next to plains but very tempting

is there anything valuable from that camp that I might get?

[tough hare]

Barley and Flax most likely.
Perhaps some black metal from the Fulings.
And if you're very lucky, a totem.

[little trench]

gold too

[vocal plinth]

I saw a mosquito floating xd

I wonder if i can snipe him

[little trench]

ya they have like 0 hp, just hit it b4 it hits u

and then go for the camp, u got this champ

[dapper moat]

i personally like to bow them when they're dive bombing you

[shell flower]

can i get rid of those?

[little trench]

try pickaxe it

[shell flower]

under?

[little trench]

idk just pickaxe at ur height and the top will fall off

[shell flower]

i deal no dmg to stone

[little trench]

rip

[shell flower]

doesnt it work the same as with stone houses in dark forest/

[vocal plinth]

XD

friendly

[little trench]

but u can deal dmg to those if u pickaxe em

[tough hare]

to get the locations, look at the map in front of her.

[shell flower]

bro that stone reaches deep inside ground

[tough hare]

So?

Mine out the surroundings.

There's no rule in this game that says you can't mine out the surroundings to certain ore nodes to get them all uncovered.
Unless you made that rule for yourself.

[shell flower]

i just want to get rid of that sone pillar

isnt it some kind of strucutre?

[vocal plinth]

met 4 leviathans maybe its time i make something with this

made abyssal razor

[shell flower]

make abyssal harpoon

[vocal plinth]

just mnade one as well

looks like thats all

[shell flower]

yeah thats all

[vocal plinth]

what are the numbers on the right, the yellow ones on all weapons, the numbers on the left mean current damage right?

[tough hare]

I think it's the other way around.
On the left is what the default weapon damage is, on the right the damage you can do with your skill in mind.

[shell flower]

im able to break it?

[dapper moat]

go for it xD

[vocal plinth]

i have thid next to my house

[shell flower]

at the start i liked it cuz it looked cool i placed fences between them but i now make my base bigger and theyre useless so yeah

[little trench]

ah no dont think u can break it

[vocal plinth]

can i hunt fish withthe harpoon?

[shell flower]

harpoon is meant for sea serepnt espiecially

or other big creatures i think

[vocal plinth]

so when im swmming at night anbd a serpant attacks me, i am supposed to hook him up and swim to shore, then finish him off?

[ebon marsh]

If you want to get all drops that’s usually the most straight forward and reliable method

[tough hare]

Nope. You won't even be able to use that harpoon for two reasons. 1) It's a weapon and you can't use weapons or tools when swiming.
2) Because the serpent would kill you even before you made it to shallow water

[ebon marsh]

I think he means like when on the boat swimming

[tough hare]

You can use it when you're on a boat, however.

Lure the serpent to the shore, harpoon it, drag it on dry land, gulp a stamina potion and kill the serpent.

[ebon marsh]

Enemies that spawn at night can also help you finish the serpent off

[vocal plinth]

I finally have a big enough surplus

what do i get for killing the sea serpant

shield material

[dapper moat]

sea serpent meat which is really good food in the mid game. can be turned to stew as well. but can be a bit tough based on your levels. and to get trophy and scales you either have to pull it on land or jump on it with the killing shot so you get the loot instantly

[ebon marsh]

Hell it’s viable all the way to the mistlands it’s just not worth actively seeking it out, it’s better to early game save it for boss fights and hard dungeons and after only grab it passively while sailing during storms or at night

[tired root]

Got to thinking, some kind of patrolling behaviour for some mobs would be great.

[shell coral]

why it is saying invalid placement

[crisp wraith]

It has to be put on soft ground

[little trench]

need to be placed on ground

[shell coral]

oh, what can be placed on floor (as campfire)?

[tough hare]

You can build braziers later which can be placed on floors, but those won't work as a campfire to cook food. Only to heat things up.

[shell coral]

i see

[little trench]

later on you'll get a thing that will make it look less ghetto, but for now yea you gotta break a floor panel and put the campfire there

you can put wood beams to frame the hole so it look a bit better if u want

[shell coral]

understood, thanks for the info ❤️

[tired root]

Later on you can build with stone and campfire can be placed on stone floor. But by then you get also access to bigger fireplace.

[tired root]

Orange is the base damage. Yellow is actual damage you deal with it depending on your weapon skill lvl.

[dull nymph]

I gave my 10 boars 2 stacks of 50 carrots

they made only 1 baby after going through all the carrots

why?

[frail cave]

the piggy inherits the level of the boar that birthed it

so 1 star boar + 0 star boar = 50% chance for a 1 star boar

[lilac coyote]

Probably need more space.

[clever juniper]

you also need to stay in the area until the baby is born

they won't make babies if you aren't in the area

[dull nymph]

you tell me
they can crawl under the roof too

[dull nymph]

i've been building for the past 3hours literally 20meters next to them

I never left
maybe once for wood but it wasn't out of render distance of my house so...

[clever juniper]

it looks like you have too many in the same area

[dull nymph]

that's too many fr?

[tough hare]

You haven't been sleeping while you were there?

That would waste food.

Also, check how the boars are doing. If they're hungry, you may want to split those stacks of carrots and put them in multiple spots.

If they aren't hungry, you may want to push them closer together and see if that works.

[clever juniper]

you need to either make a new enclosure or kill some of the no stars

[dull nymph]

nope, i just ignore the night

Idk why y'all keep talking about stars btw, I don't have a single star lol

guess my next build is the new pig pen then

[frail cave]

oh heck i misread the problem, sorry 😅
i don't even know where my brain saw that "1 star"

[tough hare]

They do because there are three types of animals.
Some have no stars at all some have a single star and some have two stars.

Initially, having boars with two stars is the best as you get the best yield when you butcher them.

[dull nymph]

ye ik how stars work
i just never found a starred boar yet lol

and I don't even want to iamgine the bothersome task of bringing one back home when I found it 5 islands further than my home

[frail cave]

it is probably a space problem. since it's based on radius, the pen is theoretically big enough to hold way more boars than that, but only if the boars themselves positioned themselves perfectly to keep allowing themselves to breed, always pushing most of the pen into one corner while giving the breeding pair space, which is rarely the case

[dull nymph]

so you're telling me enclosing each pig in it's 1 by 1 cage deprived of freedom is actually optimal?
I should start taking notes from those IRL unethical animal farms, they actually had the right idea

[vocal plinth]

are these mauntains?

[frail cave]

that's why people make breeding towers 😅
the intent is just to keep culling the amount as they breed, or have an enclosure so big that they can spread out more easily (which is kind of dangerous now that the ||bat invasion|| exists)

[frail cave]

that's a mountain, looks pretty small at least from this angle though

[vocal plinth]

whats the deal with just mauntains, is it worth anything to go up one?

[true steeple]

Once you kill bonemass you can go there for silver

[frail cave]

it's the next biome after swamps, and the boss up there is probably the least skippable one

[dull nymph]

Really? Why ?
Isn't it the most skippable one?

[lilac coyote]

Not at all.

[frail cave]

without the artisan table, you can't process black metal or flametal, you can't process flax or barley, without black metal you can't make an eitr refinery or galdr table, thus can't make the sealbreaker

can't make a drakkar either though that can be skipped...you'll have to get more creative though as you also can't make the feather cape to jump from rock to rock without refined eitr

[dull nymph]

Oh right lmao I forgot her material unlocked that table lol

[frail cave]

it is kind of a thing you place and then mostly forget about 😅

[lilac coyote]

Also, no-one on their first playthrough should be skipping content.

[dull nymph]

which is exactly what i did x)

even tho I literally just placed it yesterday x)

[frail cave]

100% something i'd do

[vocal plinth]

Its a huge mountain

the slope on this iz crazy

[frail cave]

there are much bigger ones~
hoping it's at least tall enough to have silver, which starts at Y 120

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, that's a baby mountain. A hill, really.

[tough hare]

You know, WildFrog, if you keep telling us of your discoveries, you may actually move to Valheim Chat instead of posting things here, as this is a "Help" channel. And you're more often just showing things as actually asking for help.

[lilac coyote]

And have a good read of the Wiki, too.

[vocal plinth]

can i see my y level somehow?

[vocal plinth]

cant post in val;heim chat thats the thing

[tough hare]

You don't have a level other as the one you started with

[frail cave]

not without commands unfortunately, but you can get a vague idea by looking out for obsidian rocks, which start generating at Y 100

so if there's no obsidian, then there's almost certainly no silver.
if there is obsidian, you're either close to or in the silver range

[tough hare]

then maybe go to id:customize and make sure you got the right things checked so you can post there

[shell coral]

can we dig with hoes?

[vocal plinth]

got everything

[tough hare]

No. Only level and raise land

[lilac coyote]

Of course you can.

[frail cave]

i think they mean images, which you indeed can't post there

[lilac coyote]

Hm.

[vocal plinth]

what is that thing?

[vocal plinth]

nah i litrally cannot post images there

[true steeple]

Above your crosshair? A runestone

[frail cave]

a runestone, one of the few that'll add lore to your log
nothing important for progression though

[vocal plinth]

Is this place safe enough for a portal next to swamp?

[lilac coyote]

No-one can. That's why we have #screenshots

Well, mods can, but they're special.

[true steeple]

Anywhere in the black forest will be safe enough

[vocal plinth]

but dont trolls spawn anywhere there?

[true steeple]

Yes, but you have an iron atgeir. Put walls around the portal so enemies don't see it

[frail cave]

if you hide the portal inside a small structure, trolls won't have any reason to attack it unless you're there and actively fighting them

[vocal plinth]

so would this building work

[frail cave]

i'd patch up the holes just to be sure but yea, that should be obscured enough

[tough hare]

No need for that. There's a big freaking tower right in the back ground. And that tower is big enough for a portal. And strong enough to withstand some attacks.

[tired root]

Helpers too afaik.

[safe gust]

any of you guys know where the world saves are located? cant seem to find it in %appdata%

[tough hare]

Either one of those three:

LEGACY ONLY] For windows users click "Choose File" and then paste this into the file name "%appdata%..\locallow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds" (NO Quotes!) Then just select the .db, and .fwl (ctrl click on windows) with your world's name.

[STEAM CLOUD] For windows users click "Choose File". Your saves will be in this directory:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata<your steam id>\892970\remote\worlds"
If there is only one user your steam id is the 8 digit number folder

Linux users may be able to find their seed under the path: "~/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds/"

[shell coral]

is there any way to get the progression back, my world wasnt saved for 40- minutes and my pc crashed

[safe gust]

thaankss i found it

[tough hare]

There should be a character save as well as a world save somewhere.
Most likely the paths I posed above your message are close to that character save too.
So you may consider looking there, but keep in mind you will most likely have lost some progress.

[little trench]

you can add back ur stuff with console. losing progression like that is unfair enough id say

[shell coral]

got it, thanks man

[shell coral]

yeah

[glad flame]

will my tombstone fall apart after a few days?

will fire destroy it?

I didn't die on lava

on ashland

[frail cave]

it's invincible, has no time limit, floats on water (and lava) and you can have infinite of them around

[tough hare]

And use them as a storage as long as you don't take everything out of it.

[loud linden]

Interesting. Risky, but interesting.

[prime quest]

Can i grow everything in Ashlands?

[loud linden]

How would you feel as a carrot seed trying to germinate in ashlands? 😛

[prime quest]

I am not sure xD
But since we got that special barrier, i thought it might work.

[loud linden]

Inside the shield, I'm not sure... interesting thought. Check the Wiki 🙂

[vocal plinth]

I want obsidian for my workbench upgrade, i have the iron pick and im wondering if i should make a freezing reduction potion for the mountain trip since I'm only in troll armour, additionally what dangers i might encounter? Wolves?

[tough hare]

It would be smarter to defeat Bonemass first, so you can use his power in case you're under attack in the mountains.

Also, bring a bow with fire arrows, a mace and shield and yes, Forst potions.
Make sure you're able to kill the wolves, otherwise it'll be a deathloop to get your gear back.

[vocal plinth]

:/

But i only need 4 obsidian

Im trying to do a sneak in and out mission here

How fast will i mine that obsidian when i find the blob

Is it 1:1 ratio or more?

[tough hare]

Bonemass isn't for mining, it's for protection.

[agile rapids]

i think you'll get 4 per node. but ther's no sneaking in the mountains, you gotta commit

[vocal plinth]

Whyy

How hard is it to kill a wolf, can I sneak up on one if necessary?

[agile rapids]

ther's an enemy that hates you

wolves sneak up on you

[vocal plinth]

XD

Should i bring a friend with me then?

[agile rapids]

the closest you can get is being very carefull, running bone mass, zooming all the way out, and trying to 1-tap sneak bonus everything with your bow

[vocal plinth]

I imagine my trip like this, climb up the mountain, drink the pot shoot down a wolf if necessary mine the 4 pieces and dip the hell out

[agile rapids]

i think huntsman+ fire arrows just barley manages it with fire arrows at bows level 20 or higher

[vocal plinth]

Id be using the running boost from eikter

[agile rapids]

drink the pot?

[vocal plinth]

I have that and the pot is vs freezing

[agile rapids]

ah. well. be carefull with wolves, they have a weird attack timing if they get to you, and (enemy spoilers)||drakes can knock you around and follow you everywhere, and only viable to kill with a bow||

[vocal plinth]

THE WHAAAAT

[agile rapids]

i reccomend serpent stew and your two highest stam foods for your plan

[tough hare]

And there's stone Golums, which are bloody hard to kill. So bring a mace.

[vocal plinth]

Bruh

[agile rapids]

stone golums mean it's not your day and you should leave

[vocal plinth]

Nah i want to do a scouting mission just run by, locate the obsidian then comeback directly for it and hope its the most remote thing out there

[tough hare]

Well, it's your game, but don't blame us for not warning you.

GL/HF

[vocal plinth]

I came here to know what I'm getting myself into

[agile rapids]

well, for big mountains, somtimes it can even be on the grey side parts, and it only takes a few swings. don't overthink it

it's like getting tin with rag armor and maxed flint spear
