[agile rapids]

in terms of difficulty and what it's like

[vocal plinth]

Ok

[lilac coyote]

Isn't it more fun just to find out? I feel you've learned more in here than actually playing.

[tough hare]

Probably not.

At least when something goes wrong now, the "excuse" will be that the wrong information has been given, instead of blaming it on a faulty decision of the one getting the information.....

[vocal plinth]

i got 60+hours

[lilac coyote]

Hands up everyone in 4 figures.

[tough hare]

I think I'm well over 1,000 perhaps even more.
Derek got most likely over 2,000 hrs.

Both of us have learned most of the things you ask us about by experiencing it ourselves.

Learning from a "book" is one thing. Experiencing things is a whole different thing. Because everyone reacts differently and thus something one person tells to do, won't work for another person.

[vocal plinth]

Yeah its called subjective opinion

Thats what usually happens through word of mouth

[tough hare]

sigh

OK, let me rephrase it:

You're not playing your game, we are.
Everytime you run into something and ask us: "What's this?", "Can I use that?", "How to deal with this or that?" we give you advise, which you then follow.
Kinda like you're playing monopoly and roll dices, then use the outcome that suits you best.

If you want to play this game and experience it like it's meant to be, go out there, make mistakes and learn from those.

Like we all did.

[vocal plinth]

mistakes are setbacks

i have yall to avoid them

its like i have generational wisdom backing me up

[lilac coyote]

Mistakes can be fun.

[lilac coyote]

Yet still trying to biome skip.

[tough hare]

You learn from mistakes.

Or at least, you should.
But seeing this answer, I doubt you do.

[tough hare]

And that's exactly my point.

We're here, holding your hand to help the "young, scared, WildFrog."
The moment you got something you don't know about, you ask us.
You need to experience things alone, otherwise you will come back here with your 4th, 5th, 100th character and still ask us "what's this?", "how to deal with that?"

[vocal plinth]

I died

Saw drake and then wolves cam out of nowhere

i also saw the stone monster slow fella

i got hit with fall dmg and then wolves finished me off

was weird angle

but that's just all because I was too greedy

got bit more than 4 and I even looted some spiral room

obsidian arrows seem to be superior option now

[lilac coyote]

They're great pretty much till the end.

[vocal plinth]

excellent

[tiny violet]

if you are using troll or root armor, the level 5 workbench will be helpful in upgrading those

[vocal plinth]

upgraded my troll set to lvl 4 now 40armour

[vocal plinth]

thats was the idea yes

[waxen elk]

for mods, has the valheim community abandoned the nexus mod manager? ive seen most people go to r2modman manager. i remember when i played with mods a few years ago that nexus was the way, what happened?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[waxen elk]

thx for the channel, appreciate it. though it does not answer my question

[lilac coyote]

I wonder where you might ask the question.

[balmy mesa]

Do you guys plant onions or skip them? They dont seem very useful considering theyre only used in three recipes

[lilac coyote]

Onions are essential.

[inland gorge]

what do I do when recipes don't unlock? I have all the stuff I need to craft it, but it won't show in the forge. this is the frostner in a lvl 5 forge

[plush tartan]

Onions are great for stamina. Great for farming and foraging. A gate field will make a lot of soup 🍜

[tired root]

There will be more uses for onions in later biomes.

[lilac coyote]

Is it definitely level 5?

[inland gorge]

i think it only needs 3 for frostner anyways

[lilac coyote]

True.

[balmy mesa]

Do you have the ymir flesh?

[inland gorge]

i have silver, ymir flesh, freeze gland and ancient bark

[lilac coyote]

Try dropping one and picking it up again

[tired root]

Do you use any mods by any chance?

[inland gorge]

tried that

[inland gorge]

no :)

[tired root]

You have smelted silver?

[inland gorge]

yes, like I said I got everything I need

[lilac coyote]

You obviously don't else it would work.

[tired root]

Maybe quit the game and restart again.

[tiny violet]

they're good. always want to have plenty of onions

[inland gorge]

ok? haha

[inland gorge]

tried, also doesn't work :/

[steep tusk]

Not to nitpick, but you haven't shown the ancient bark 🤷‍♂️

[tired root]

Do you have any other Silver weapon/armor recipes?

[tired root]

They mentioned it above.

[inland gorge]

yes I have wolf armor

[steep tusk]

Mentioned != shown.

-# Also why are all the dots turned into commas in the game ui? 😭

[inland gorge]

😑

[steep tusk]

See, now no one can give you shit about materials.

[lilac coyote]

Regional differences.

[lilac coyote]

Don't give that vibe people are trying to help

[tough hare]

Silly question, but have you everything in your inventory?
Also, the amount of silver is a bit low.

[lilac coyote]

The amount isn't important for the recipe.

You won't be able to craft it, but it should still show

[tired root]

Try looking out from the crafting menu again.

Should be near other maces

[tough hare]

Unless it's a pre-bog witch save.
In that case it won't see one of the items as "gathered"

[lilac coyote]

I've spent hours looking through that list and utterly missing things staring straight at me.

[inland gorge]

it's not there at all. my group can craft it, so I'll just have them do it and hope it shows up after a couple restarts. ty guys

[lilac coyote]

Hence why I suggested picking things up again.

[tired root]

True, maybe dropping all ingredients and picking up again.

[lilac coyote]

Am I invisible?

[tough hare]

True. But has it been done?
So far it looks like they're taken from the chest and not dropped on the ground.

[tired root]

The flowers in your name tag are quite visible.

[inland gorge]

I have:
Dropped and picked up
Got my friend to drop it to me
Picked up from chest
Restarted the game

[lilac coyote]

So it's in the list and you just can't see it. It happens.

Or it's a mod you're definitely not using.

[tired root]

Is there any chance you have used mods before but disabled them? @inland gorge

[tough hare]

So, has your friend the Frostner in the list on the forge?

[inland gorge]

I don't even know how to mod lol, I'm just playing on my save on steam

[lilac coyote]

He's already said they can make it. Repeating things isn't helping.

[inland gorge]

Yeah, they made me one but I can't upgrade it either so I guess they have to do everything. I'm a she btw

[lilac coyote]

Sorry

Humour me one last time. Get a friend to count how many items down in the list the Frostner is, then do the same in yours.

[prime quest]

Only the world host can use devcommands, right?

[tough hare]

yup

[wispy skiff]

whats a good armor for the mistlands? i feel like i'm getting bodied

[steep tusk]

What's your food?

[tough hare]

I think you woke up Simon and Garfunkel with that question.....

[little trench]

ur issue prolly has more to do with how ur fighting

[languid sapphire]

why is there too much fog everywhere all of a sudden(not talking about mistlands)

[little trench]

generally, its ok to be patient. wait for enemy to attack and then attack

[lilac coyote]

Some days are foggy.

[languid sapphire]

for me its most days after playing like 200+ in game days it was never foggy when i started

[tough hare]

Some biomes are more foggy than others (not talking about the Mistlands)

[wispy skiff]

i played for honor for years i beat grounded i played ark for ever i beat all the dark souls game i beat elden ring and the dlc and i just can't overcome the sheer power and durability of the soldier ant 😂

[languid sapphire]

yea but i feel like its beggining to be too much foggy everywhere even in black forest and meadows which i have never seen

[little trench]

you gotta wait for when it's smashing the ground and then go to it's back and hit

or parry i guess works

[tired root]

Parry with shield, jump over, throw a spear at butt.

Or jump behind from side and hit butt.

[wispy skiff]

so the back is the key huh? devious backshots inbound

[tough hare]

This happen your first character or have you played others before?
Weather is fixed for each day, so if this is your first character, you may indeed not have experienced it before.

[tough hare]

Bad news, though: Boomerang arrows aren't invented yet.

[tired root]

Butt is the weak point. All weapons deal good damage at it.

[lilac coyote]

http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1 if you want a better weather day.

[tired root]

Another valid option if butt is not possible: Frostner deals a bit better damage thanks to the frost damage it doesn't resist.

[lilac coyote]

Butt is always possible.

[tired root]

Almost, depends on positioning. Should be, yes.

Hope that helps!

[languid sapphire]

how to check current day

[tough hare]

Sleep?

[steep tusk]

New weapon: Foggner. Swinging changes the weather to foggy.

[gloomy dagger]

does the stamina cost of blocking or parrying with a shield, get affected by any stats on that shield?

will upgrading my iron buckler reduce said cost?

[tired root]

Sounds like a new weather staff.

[tough hare]

iirc the cost will remain the same. But upgrading it will increase your durability, which will help you protecting yourself better in the long run.

You can easily compare the stats of any item when having it selected and then check the values showed under the upgrade tab.

[gloomy dagger]

Successfully blocking requires up to 10 stamina (proportional to the leftover damage value after the reduction of step one). what precisely does this mean

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

is it like, if the attack is reduced to half damage then blocking costs 5 stamina?

[tough hare]

In all fairness, I don't know.
The one who wrote it may know.

I simply try to block / parry any incoming attack, instead of worrying about a mathematic formula that may or may not end up with my character getting damage.

It's a game after all, not some rocket science class.

The only thing I know and which I actually care about is that your amount of HP is important for blocking / parrying something or not.
Well, and your timing when it comes to parrying.

[true steeple]

The cost of parrying is always 20 but for normal blocking, it’s up to 10 depending on how much damage wasn’t blocked

[vocal plinth]

Sometimes the troll hits me hard i block but still take a lot of damage like 50hp gone yet the troll gets stunned and i kill him right after, just confused why i received so much dmg maybe the aoe attacks work differently?

[true steeple]

The two-handed attack of an unarmed troll has a melee hitbox and aoe instance. Maybe you’re only blocking one of those hits?

[bitter kiln]

when does the ability to craft the yule tree go away? I am taking a break from building my giant base, but I don't want to miss out

[stoic trench]

I think January 6th?

By the way, you can hide one underneath your home (provided you foundation allows it) so you can always have the benefit of it even though it’s out of sight.

[bitter kiln]

Awesome, thank you!

[noble vault]

Is there a decent method of building to prevent animals congregating in corners? The little fuckers tend to eat all my food and then refuse to breed because they're all crammed together.

[noble tapir]

i haven't found a way, but i never noticed it stop breeding, only that i had to push around the chickens to get the eggs

if there's too many chickens/eggs, they may not breed

it kinda looks like you're at cap

[noble vault]

Maybe I'm misinterpreting it, then. I feel as though they produce more eggs when there are less around.

Good point though, I should figure out what the cap is for chickens

[subtle parrot]

The eggs are included in the total chickens/sq meter, so more chickens, the less eggs you'll produce is accurate.

[noble vault]

Hm, would be nice to see the optimal chicken density (lmao) for production then in terms of speed. since if you only have a few chickens, then it'll underproduce in terms of speed

I feel like I could end up with some sort of diagnosis just off of the phrase 'optimal chicken density'

[lilac coyote]

Shouldn't be hard to work out.

[stoic trench]

OCD- optimal chicken density

[noble vault]

That'd be a great wiki entry without further clarification. Simply:

The optimal chicken density is 2Cm^-3```

[noble tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YU8SXNCmwQ - you can design one yourself pretty fast, but as long as the eggs roll down far enough, to a fire warmed area, you can keep making chickies for as long as you have the food out

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming#Notes_3

[noble vault]

Ah shit, nice

[noble vault]

I've followed this before 🙂 I wasn't a huge fan as the rate of production seemed slow unless I was regularly nearby

[last osprey]

animals don't breed unless you're nearby. A chicken tower with 8 hens that has the eggs dropping out of the 10m radius produces eggs pretty fast though

[lilac coyote]

We do our best.

[noble tapir]

you need to be nearby animals anyway, so finding a way to incorporate it into your usual area is best, yah

[noble vault]

you guys deserve better than fandom, I really wanna introduce the wiki people here to the guy who runs the osrs/lol/minecraft wikis

[lilac coyote]

We're good, thanks.

[noble vault]

Alright, I will contain my agenda until further notice

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, this is no place for agendas. I'm not moving 1005 pages to a new server for precious little gain.

When we hit 1.0 we might consider it.

[noble vault]

well god bless the wiki dudes, honestly

I am well aware of how much work people involved in wiki curation do for very little gain

[lilac coyote]

Oh, I didn't mean monetary gain, we're all volunteers. I just think the work involved in lifting and shifting at this stage outweighs any advantages there might be.

[noble vault]

Yup, no worries, I just used the same word in a different context, not that I misinterpreted

[lilac coyote]

I do appreciate the kind words though.

I should say, we do.

[frail cave]

How do i turn fog off

[tough hare]

You can't.

[proven cradle]

Hi, such a question, is there a mod to regulate the hoe terraforming area?

[lilac coyote]

#mods-discussion

[hollow heron]

Hey does anybody know the textbook/effective way to get hare?

[subtle parrot]

Staff of embers

@hollow heron

[hollow heron]

i see

[steep tusk]

spawn hare

[balmy mesa]

Do you guys think its too late to get my friend into valheim considering that were already almost done with the mountains 😅

[steep tusk]

It's never too late.

[balmy mesa]

How would I even like go about it though?

Should I just give him the stuff or let him catch up with my help

[subtle forum]

is there an ingame chat for talking to everyone in the world?

[balmy mesa]

Yeah its 4 of us and were a tight friend group

I can explain everything to him but I mean like I really dont know if its better to just drop items to him or let him discover them

[noble tapir]

if you do the Bronze x5 and your crafting perk pops, does it give you 5 extra, or 1?

[hardy veldt]

ive got 2 tamed wolves will they be ok if i run them home?

[noble tapir]

yah

[cosmic cedar]

Does the bonemass locator spawn in crypts?

[noble tapir]

yes, as well as larger stone buildings in the swamp

[charred fable]

Just 1 extra

[noble tapir]

ew, ok, so i guess i'll keep doing 1 at a time then, thanks

[vocal plinth]

If abomination is very resistant to pierce 0.25x means my atgeir does 75% less damage?

[ripe bone]

sounds like math, probably.

[vocal plinth]

Anyone with math phd lol

[subtle parrot]

Sounds about right, if not, close enough

But yeh you can look at it like that or that your weapon is doing only 25% of normal damage

[vocal plinth]

Okey then follow up question, if I use a literal iron axe vs iron battle-axe is this even a stupid suggestion? It's a moving tree afterall

[subtle parrot]

It'll do normal damage, it isn't weak against chop or slash afaik

[vocal plinth]

Does stagger limit mean my atgeir's ultimate ability will only stun 1/3rd of the time? Or knockback in that sense

[subtle parrot]

Sounds plausible, I'm not too sure on that though

[vocal plinth]

Based on the damages two handed battleaxe should only do +10-13 additional damage?

[subtle parrot]

Give it take, though I've never used it. The aboms attacks are parriable, though.

[vocal plinth]

I kinda haven't gotten the hang of parrying, i manage to do it unreliably 50% of the time

[subtle parrot]

I generally use a sword or axe with an iron buckler or banded shield. But yeh parrying can be tricky.

[vocal plinth]

Wait if u parry with a shield is it always gonna block damage?

Compared to say atgeir blocking?

[subtle parrot]

Depends, if you're early to parry then yes. But if you're late to parry you're likely gonna get hit full on.

Though, that last part is pretty obvious.
I've never tried blocking with an atgeir cause I don't use them, but I imagine the blocking is better on a buckler either way.

[vocal plinth]

I see

Is there a way to know where an abomination is? Or am I supposed to always be surprised by one popping up in front of my face?

[ripe bone]

look at night time

[subtle parrot]

There's a stump

[ripe bone]

getting used to the texture of it i can now see abomination nodes from a distance, its hard to explain they look like suspiciously placed greener than usual stumps.

[subtle parrot]

Yeh that

I always mean to try to get a picture so I have one, but I'm most always looking to avoid them in the moment

[vocal plinth]

XD

That I presume?

[subtle parrot]

Looks about right

[vocal plinth]

Alright

Is it a good idea to attack him while he's getting up?

[subtle parrot]

It's just damage they can't retaliate against until they do get up, so unless you just don't want to for the sake of a "fair" fight, I don't really see why not

[worldly shard]

Iron or Root armor?

[subtle parrot]

They're both good

[worldly shard]

Is one better?

Also where are these annoying turnips!? I’ve looked everywhere in the swamp!

[subtle parrot]

They're tough to find, you're looking for murky yellow flowers

[vocal plinth]

I Found some in the mountain staircase to hell type of structure lol

[subtle parrot]

That's debatable, but the root chest is viewed as one of if not the best chest piece due to its pierce resistance. That coupled with iron leggings and helmet gives you pretty good armor plus the pierce resistance. Which a fair number of enemies deal pierce damage.

[noble tapir]

iron axe on aboms is really fast, it's like 2 buckler parries

maybe 3 if your axe damage isn't super high

[vocal plinth]

wdym

[noble tapir]

get under the abom, when it goes to hulk smash you, parry it with a buckler

[subtle parrot]

Parry staggers the aboms, then you can hack away

[vocal plinth]

i donbt have gear yet

[subtle parrot]

No worries, just for future reference

[worldly shard]

Right now I’ve got full iron armor, an iron mace, a reinforced shield (I think that’s what it’s called), and a fine wood bow.

What next?

[noble tapir]

mace does great in the swamp... except for the aboms 😄

you can use the reinforced shield though

[vocal plinth]

dont have mace

[noble tapir]

honestly... iron axe for chopping trees, an iron pickaxe, and you're set

[worldly shard]

Why do we want to kill the aboms?

[worldly shard]

Bet 🙂

[subtle parrot]

To get the root armor

[vocal plinth]

iron bow

[noble tapir]

the trophy gives fishing bait, the roots let you craft the cool armor

[worldly shard]

I have an Abom trophy! How do I use it as bait?

[noble tapir]

since you're using iron armor, it slows you down, for mountains, you should definitely find the bog witch and make the speed mead

[vocal plinth]

lets go

[noble tapir]

the preparation table

[subtle parrot]

Go to haldor, get some fishing bait, and then use the prep table to combine them

[worldly shard]

Ok!

What is a BOG WITCH 😨

[subtle parrot]

Serpents trophies, lox, fuling, and troll make baits as well. I think drakes and leeches too.

[worldly shard]

(I’m not looking anything up, only aloud to ask actual people for advice) 😉 first play through

[subtle parrot]

A trader in the swamp

She has many things you need

[noble tapir]

many cool things!

[worldly shard]

Oh! Random encounter?

[noble tapir]

it has spawn locations, the first location you pass, is the one that's made the permanent location

[worldly shard]

👍

[noble tapir]

BOING slash slash slash, BOING slash slash slash

[subtle parrot]

Sort of, there are several possible locations she and the other 2 traders can pop up throughout the world, but the first one you come across will be their permanent place in the world... yeh what iamsent said lol

[worldly shard]

Please tell me they have that impenetrable bubble 😭

[noble tapir]

it does... but that one sometimes doesn't work that well 😄

[subtle parrot]

Yes, though it is broken occasionally

[worldly shard]

💀

[noble tapir]

it "usually" works though!

[worldly shard]

This is me and two of my buddies, this was us 2 hours ago

[vocal plinth]

got eeeem

[noble tapir]

you know, i don't make the iron armor much, i forgot how cool it looks

[worldly shard]

You usually use root?

[noble tapir]

troll, then root, then fenris

[subtle parrot]

A less cool silver armor

[worldly shard]

😄

[noble tapir]

yes, i don't use silver either... i think i remember what it looks like 😮

[vocal plinth]

how many abominations do i need t kill for a maxed root set?

[noble tapir]

probably like 10-12

[subtle parrot]

Give or take

[worldly shard]

I went into a crypt and found an entire root armor set in one of the chests..

[noble tapir]

you must be playing modded?

[worldly shard]

Well my buddy did not me

[noble tapir]

gear doesn't spawn in chests, so something is changed

[worldly shard]

Never saw it from him, you think he’s trolling?

It’s not modded

[noble tapir]

well...

if he happens to find a lvl4 silver sword in a chest, you may want to have a conversation with them 😄

[worldly shard]

😆

I’m rolling mace, one of my friends are rolling ancient spear and the other iron sword. Good?

[noble tapir]

yah, those are the 3 things i mainly use

[worldly shard]

We thought it’d be good for variety

[noble tapir]

i also use axes a lot, because i have it on me at all times

[foggy hound]

two completely random world seeds look insanly familiar

[noble tapir]

looks like it's 66 roots for a maxed set, so 14 aboms

[foggy hound]

is there anything that dictates if a seed could have similar terrain, like mountains and lakes

[vocal plinth]

another down

[worldly shard]

Noice! Keep it up. Going to bed, good night everyone. GRINDING TOMORROW

[noble tapir]

have a good one!

[vocal plinth]

I cant seem to nail blocking thjo

1/3rd of the time i have it i block before i get punched with like 2seconds even before i egtt hit still i take dmg

[noble tapir]

are you solo?

you can block earlier than you'd think, you can also keep tapping the block button as well

if you're playing with a group, sometimes the timing gets a little off, if you're not the host of the area

[worldly shard]

Wait before I go, how do people have roles like “graydwarf?”

[noble tapir]

i think it used to automaticlly give some roles

[worldly shard]

Gotcha, they should put some more roles you can choose from that could be your favorite mob or something 🙂

Anywho, cheers 🍻

[vocal plinth]

4th abomination down

I feel like dodging works better than parrying most of the time

[tired root]

There are many differences between one handed and two handed axes.

Battleaxe is bit slower, but has wider hitbox, no MTP and primary attacks has 1,5x multiplier to stagger plus additional knockback. Secondary attack is quick and deals 1/2 damage but has 6x multiplier to stagger and more knockback.
Both axes can be used to cut wood, battleaxe has a small advantage when hitting multiple trees/logs thanks to no MTP property.

It's currently a weapon type that suffers the most compared to other 2h weapons as there are only 2 of them in game and they slow you down by -20%, which is injustice IMO. But it is great when you learn to use it.

[vocal plinth]

A combination for me worked better

[vocal plinth]

Damn

So do you use the battle-axe then?

[tired root]

I like it a lot, I have now crafted both of them that can be crafted during my latest runs.

It can decimate Abomination easily thanks to added stagger multiplier.

Plus great against groups.

Additionally, never not funny to launch Greyling or Neck down from a cliff with it's secondary attack.

[noble tapir]

I really tried to use the Crystal Battleaxe.... it's so cool looking, but I just couldn't handle the attack speed and slowdown

[tired root]

I mean, the movement speed penalty is hefty, compared to atgeirs and 2h swords. Fortunately Ratatosk Tonic helps against that and using 1 or 2 Fenris armor pieces.

Or keeping it unequipped when running.

And slower attack speed should mean more attack damage IMO.

[vocal plinth]

How do i kill the flying ghost in swampos i just logged out

wraith

[tired root]

Like most enemies: parry, hit. Or atgeir secondary, then primary hit.

[vocal plinth]

but its kinda above me

[tired root]

Move a bit so it gets lower.

[vocal plinth]

im a tough situation here in the swamp

low stamina and water and im getting chased by some other sdtuff

I logged back in and the wraith was gone

interesting

I cheated death probably

i need 66 root for a full root set for it to have just 2 more armour than troll set ha ha

but i get poison and pirce resistance 50% and bows +15skill

50% poison resistance from the mask does this mean Il take half as much dmg from poison or that it will be harder to poison me lol

so armour wise just as much as full iron set, interesting

at least lvl idk whats max for iron set

[noble tapir]

well, it's 6 more armor total, but when your armor is only 36, having an additional 6 armor, is about 17% extra armor, and it makes a difference in the mountains too

and yah, you're getting some bonuses, including bow bonus, which is great in mountains

[last osprey]

it reduces both damage and the duration of the poison effect

[noble tapir]

inventory space in the swamp is huge too, as there's just so many things you want to pick up - having an extra slot (no poison pots) is nice too

[last osprey]

poison is relatively easy to avoid once you know the biome though, the pierce resist on the harnesk is much more valuable.

[vocal plinth]

is it possible to go down this

[little trench]

wym

[last osprey]

Kill it you mean?

[little trench]

btw awesome method to kill these is use bonfire

i go super early to swamp when im basically naked and just use bonfire to kill and get early root chest

you can learn a LOT watching speedrunners

[last osprey]

it's a good method but if you're new imo you're better off learning how to actually fight first before starting cheesing things.

[little trench]

prolly

[last osprey]

because not doing so will bite you in the ass in later biomes 😂

[little trench]

tru

[last osprey]

as for killing them iron buckler and 2 BF hp food are definitely enough to parry its attacks, should be good to just block too

i know you can easily block them with the same food and a l2 bone tower shield

[loud rapids]

This game is really fun and I enjoyed playing it immensely, but once I got to ashlands it felt like one person wasn't enough to navigate it or do anything without being swarmed

[last osprey]

You need AoE damage. Also getting the black forge/galdr table upgrades ASAP and upgrading your Mistland gear to level 4 will make things much more comfortable.

[loud rapids]

Yeah I had a lot of upgrades and new stuff from that biome

Because I kept throwing myself at it for hours

[last osprey]

any enemies in particular you have trouble with?

[loud rapids]

just the sheer quantity of them and how difficult it is to escape them

I can deal with a few of any of them but when I've got a dozen enemies and more approaching from behind idk what to do

[little trench]

yea ashlands is like that. gotta be careful

[last osprey]

i find it's generally better to pull and kill as you go in Ashlands instead of trying to bypass mobs

[little trench]

watch the skies for vultures & fallen valks and make sure you're kiting in safe areas

[last osprey]

you can oneshot marksmen, twitchers and voltures with the ripper as you go, you can easily outrun warriors and kill lava blobs by simply running past them, so they're not really an issue if you pay attention.
asksvin and morgen should be pulled from afar to an already-cleared area since their terrain destruction makes a lot of noise (same as mining basically) and pulls more enemies.
Valkyries should also be pulled from afar (you can see them from a long distance) and a sneak attack with a ripper easily takes half their health.

If you do happen to get swarmed focus on dodging and staying alive and let the friendly fire whittle them down a little before you jump in to finish of the rest.

[loud rapids]

alright take it slow

I've been trying to run past enemies and I always get surprised by how long they chase you for

[last osprey]

once you get into the groove of it you'll be killing enemies as you go, but yes, especially at the beginning

[vocal plinth]

meant ot send this pic but got attacked

[last osprey]

yep that's a recipe for disaster in the ashlands. don't do that lol.

[last osprey]

not when it's filled with water. You can (rarely) find dry ones though if the ground is a bit higher and the mountain has similar structures

[vocal plinth]

oh its the samwe thing, ive gone down one theres just a chest, thought for a swamp its different

got full set

lvl 1

kinda sad there's no cape

[cosmic cedar]

Is there a set amount of iron you need for the gear/armor/crafting stuff?

I just found 4 huge crypts and was wandering if I can wrap up the iron age with just that

[last osprey]

well yeah, once you've built and upgraded one of everything you only need more iron for building. You do need some iron for gear even in later biomes though.

[cosmic cedar]

ok, I see, so no set number i guess?

[last osprey]

according to the wiki it takes 1373 iron to craft and upgrade one of each equipment piece and upgrade it to max. Add the cost for crafting stations to that and that's how much you need if you don't use any for building.

[cosmic cedar]

ok, ty

[willow raft]

There is a set number but that number depends on what you want to do.
I for one need less iron than my mate since I don't create the iron armor, since I go for root but my buddy makes the iron armor.

[quick tide]

The bog witch can appear in some unexplored swamp areas right?

[noble tapir]

it's hard with crytps, and likely 4 isn't enough, especially considering you use a ton later in the game too. plus, each crypt can give you 25.... or 120. it's so random.

I would say, shoot for 400 iron, just so you don't have to go to the swamps for a while 😄

[open trout]

hi guys i need a help.

I want to move my local world to another pc and host it locally from there.
Do i need to just copy these files

[vocal plinth]

i got a fulling totem

[willow raft]

You'll need a few of those to summon the plains boss.

[vocal plinth]

yep

i havent killed bonemass yet

[worldly shard]

Yoooooooo was good

[worldly shard]

Same! Me and you are at the same place rn in the game 💪

[barren ferry]

ye that should work

had a whole ordeal trying to get world files from a friend then upload into a hosting third party service

make sure to get all forest, height, and map files

[lilac coyote]

Just the fwl and db will do.

[tough hare]

You could do a (steam)cloud save and then load the save from the cloud into the other PC.
That way you will be able to play the world on both PC's without having to move the files all the time.

[stoic trench]

Deer cape looks really good with this set by the way!

[open trout]

ok thanks guys it worked

[steep tusk]

Enjoy the extra inventory slot!

[vocal plinth]

wdym

[steep tusk]

If you don't have a cape...

[vocal plinth]

i do

[lilac coyote]

That was a hypothetical statement explaining the other statement you hadn't understood.

[steep tusk]

If cape not necessary for set bonus, cape not necessary.

Can elect to not wear cape.

If electing to not wear cape, +1 to available inventory slots.

[vocal plinth]

can i destroy a runestone

can I mine under it so it goes down

[lilac coyote]

No.

[vocal plinth]

yes.

[willow raft]

No.

[willow raft]

Yes.

[lilac coyote]

It's literally still there.

[vocal plinth]

forever forgotten it shall be

is there absolutely any point in even reading those runes?

are they just a story

[frosty frost]

Lore

[steep tusk]

Is there any point in reading them besides the point in reading them? No.

[vocal plinth]

is it possible that my ship destroyed a part of the rock?

[subtle parrot]

Some do have compendium messages, but they're not necessary for anything

[lilac coyote]

838 messages in 7 days. That's...impressive.

[lilac coyote]

Story is bad?

[willow raft]

Yes.

[steep tusk]

You're on a roll with self-answering questions. 😭

[lilac coyote]

Saves us being on hand every 10 seconds.

[vocal plinth]

castle in works

got raided 3 times by trolls and 2 times by swamp ppl :/

I think im gonna sneak into the plains again to get tar somehow somewhere just for the roof, cause the hay roofs look bad imo especially on a castle

[subtle parrot]

That's more so conversation for #building-discussion or #general

[vocal plinth]

Yall will do everything in your power to get rid of me xd

[subtle parrot]

Nothing of the sort, but this is the help channel after all lol

[vocal plinth]

Sure, if i want to tame a lox, is all i need to do, sit around it for 30mins straight?

[lilac coyote]

I doubt anyone has reported you yet.

[subtle parrot]

And feed it a few cloud berries

[vocal plinth]

Cloud berries hmmm

[frosty frost]

Or flax/barley 🙂

[vocal plinth]

Yeah, don't have any of those xd

I saw clips of ppl building the ground up around loxses, is that a good strategy or is it likely that they will climb out?

Additionally how many cloudberries would one lox want in order to be tamed?

[tough hare]

There was a reason I made that comment yesterday.

Basically the Valheim-help channel turned into a WildFrog-chatbox.

[vocal plinth]

Could I instead build myself in a box and wait out the 30mins?

[vocal plinth]

I help when i can, the more i know the more i can help its a win win

[subtle parrot]

They can be found in the plains, cloud berries are puffy yellow berries that grow on the ground. But yes building a ground wall is best because they will pretty much just destroy anything else just by touching it. Just make sure the inside of the wall is sheer and tall enough so they can't path out. As for how many, I'm not sure i just throw stacks of them down cause you'll have hundreds of cloud berries pretty quick just from walking through plains, they're very abundant.

[vocal plinth]

I think this runestone came back up lol

is it possible they are programmed to go up?

[frosty frost]

I believe they just take into account the ground height directly beneath them and are aligning to that level

[lilac coyote]

Huh?

[vocal plinth]

hmmmmm

[lilac coyote]

I can't believe he's laugh reacted to it.

[tough hare]

I can. I'd already something like that to happen. Unfortunately it did happen. 😦

[hardy veldt]

have i done everything right for them to start breeding?

[lilac coyote]

Hard to tell, do they have food?

[hardy veldt]

yeah i threw 17 deer meat in the middle

wolf 2 is blocking it

[frosty frost]

If both say happy then they will have babies eventualy 🙂

[hardy veldt]

do i have to be in the area?

[frosty frost]

I think so? No too sure about that, try looking in https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming#Breeding 🙂

[tired root]

They could be a bit closer to each other.

But as long they are both happy, unalerted and close enough they start to making out (as hearts and sounds will imply that).

[agile rapids]

what would be the most viable weapon/armor combo for the queen/ashland landing? or do i have no choice but to branch out a least a bit into magic?

[frosty frost]

I would say 100% mistwalker from melee options as well as carapace buckler (thats currently best parrying shield while even including ashlands stuff) and for armor carapace is certainly not bad, i managed to get through ashlands just fine in the ptb ashlands so now it should be even better 🙂

For the queen fight the same but i would take also shit ton of bombs with you 😄

(also ratatosk tonic with heavy armor is just amazing 😉 )

[agile rapids]

hmmmm.... is root harnesk still worth running or is the peice resistance overshadowed b y the massive upgrade in armor

[frosty frost]

Oh the harnesk can still work quite well while being more situational, i just preffer straight up more armor than dealing with fire weakness

[noble vault]

I was reading online that with mountains, apparently they have different structure types. The only thing I've found out about so far is the 'Thorn' mountain which is apparently third tallest. Is there any further information catalogueing mountain data?

[frosty frost]

I know that the 3 highest mountains have names 🤔 do you mean that by structure types?

[noble vault]

I do, yeah.

I had presumed that the algorithm for generating a biome would be entirely the same across the board, so I'm curious now if there are pre-designed mountains, or rather, that a max height is defined for specific ones?

[frosty frost]

All maps are part of one "master map" 🙂 the game selects a chunk from that and thats your map basically, you have to get lucky and you might get one of the really high mountains
Winter has posted version of it with the 3 mountains marked here if you want #valheim-chat message 😄

The height is pretty much constant apart from starting area that will change the height around spawn, so if you get unlucky and one of the tall mountains would be in the exact centre of the map it might get flattened

[noble vault]

That's insane, thanks for that information.

[frosty frost]

You are welcome

[west ermine]

Whats the "silver axe" or whats the next upgrade after the iron axe

[frosty frost]

You get new axe in plains 🙂 mountains dont have one

[noble vault]

I guess I'm now curious if all terrain generated is part of the master map

[west ermine]

ok thanks!

[frosty frost]

Oh yes, with you can find on it any seed you play on 🙂 actually its kinda funt trying to find it

[noble vault]

Is the linked image in the post you sent still relevant to most of the terrain generation now? Since ashlands has changed

OH I think I see it now. Like is it
terrain map = pre-defined
biome map + spawn point = seed-driven?

[frosty frost]

I believe only the centre of the world can be a bit different while ashlands and probably even deep north areas can be pretty different, rest of the map is still coresponding to the master map on the immage 🙂

[noble vault]

Thanks, this game is insane the deeper I look

[frosty frost]

I think that is accurate, yeah 😄

[noble vault]

man, it looks like mountains are entirely determined by height

[frosty frost]

Yepp that seems about right 😄

I should have a bit more complete version of the master map i found without different biomes (only meadows as a base and mountains) if you want

[noble vault]

I would love that, genuinely

[frosty frost]

You should have it in messages 👍

[tired root]

Crystal Battleaxe is Silver axe.

[frosty frost]

Oh, true that, you get a battle axe there but no one handed axe 😄

[west ermine]

Oh ok thanks

[random egret]

I just started and need help learning the game can anyone help me

[frosty frost]

The raven will help you 😉

[tired root]

I know the best helper is Hugin ingame.

[random egret]

he aint helpin that much

[tired root]

What help do you need?

I'm sure you would figure it out by yourself too but you are also free to ask. 👍

[tough hare]

In case you need someone to join you in your game, or you would like to join a game with new players so you can figure things out together; you could also check this channel: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 to find someone to help you in your game.

For any other questions, feel free to ask here.

[vocal plinth]

lox can spawn any time in plains right?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[glossy vector]

do we still need to rub public test mode to get the bogwitch ?

[frosty frost]

Nope, its in live branch for quite some time 😄

[tired root]

There is no currently any PTB patch to be tested.

[hardy veldt]

i want to transport a ton of wolves overseas to my new base whats the best and easiest way to do it

[agile rapids]

Use temporary floors to put them above the longboat/Ashlands ship, destroy the floor, and breed them at destination. I haven't done it before but I don't think you'd be able to transport more than 4-5 per trip

[dim garden]

just got to ashlands and my portal is constantly getting destroyed by fire, any way to circumvent it?

[hardy veldt]

how would i get them off the boat when we get there destroy the boat or get them to follow me?

[tired root]

Shield generator protects from weather effects, one of them being fire rain.

[dim garden]

thanks!

[tired root]

Or build under fireproof structures.

[sharp gulch]

why is it that when i name myself in valheim it switches the letters between capital and lowercase

[gloomy dagger]

whats the interval between Ticks for health regen

[open forge]

guys, best HHS food for ashlands

[tough hare]

Four options:

1: build a shield generator,
2: Turn off fire hazard modifier (if that's on) for some time
3: You will get a device to shield your portal from the ashes falling down
4) Over time you will be able to build another - fire resistant - portal. Which also has the benefit of being able to let ores / metals pass through

[subtle parrot]

10 seconds

[tough hare]

Just dock close to where a monster is and they will jump off by themselves.

Also, wolves can swim - and a pretty long distance too - as long as you don't sail too fast.
So if the "plank method" doesn't work, they will still follow you as long as you keep the distance not too large.

[frosty frost]

The fire hazzard modifier doesent matter in ashlands since there Is always fire rain there 🙂

[hardy veldt]

how long can they swim?

[tough hare]

I had them following me for quite some distance. Took me 20-30 minutes to get them from the mountains to where my main base was.
Most of it was done by paddling or by sailing at half sails in a Karve. And even at half sails there was a chance I would go faster as they were swiming.

[tired root]

Entering Ashlands or after getting ingredients in Ashlands?

Entering: Honey glazed chicken, Misthare Supreme, Fish & bread.

Afterwards: Piquant pie, Mashed meat, Roasted crust pie.

[old bronze]

From my experience salad is better because you can make large amounts of it easily

[tired root]

Surely it is easier to make, I agree. But I wasn't sure if they asked the best/easiest option or the best stats stamina food.

If one is good at fishing anglers then surely they can make lots of Fish & bread with a bit more time.

[old bronze]

True

[calm wharf]

hello, is it normal for bodypiles inside crypts to spawn new draugrs the second i kill them ?

if yes how tf am i supposed to clear it

[subtle parrot]

Don't kill the draugr first, kill the bodypile

[calm wharf]

they kill me in like 3 hits how do i do that plus they block the corridor leading into the room

[subtle parrot]

I typically leave some of the scrap piles in the way so they can't come into the corridor, sneak around the corner until they aren't aggro anymore and sneak a shot or 2 at the bodypile, rinse and repeat if it doesn't explode in the 2 hits.

[calm wharf]

thanks ill try that, still it would be nice if the spawner had like atleast 5 second cooldown or something

i tried looking for a mod like that but no luck

[timber anvil]

Running a dedicated server, like that the playfab integration allows me to use just a 6 letter code instead of ips and such, but lately its been very unstable. Anyone got an idea where to get the ip and port for pure steam servers?

[lilac coyote]

Should be able to get that info from whoever is hosting the server.

[timber anvil]

I'm the one hosting, you think it's just my ip?

i guess i could try lmao sorry its late over here

[lilac coyote]

Well, yes. I'm not sure what else it would be. And the ports are the ones you've specified in your server setup.

[timber anvil]

im still failing to connect but it does seem to recognise the server

[gloomy dagger]

how do we knoiw if a mountain is high enough for silver ? Is this?

[lilac coyote]

Generally if obsidian is spawning then silver will too.

[severe ether]

While using cheat keys, I installed an item that did not disappear. Is there any way to turn it back? That item ruins the view around my house.

[gritty warren]

You can load in previous world saves, before you spawned it in.

[lilac coyote]

Or just delete the offending item.

[severe ether]

tysm i try now

[severe ether]

tysm sir

[severe ether]

I think I succeeded. I love you so much

[severe ether]

I think I succeeded. I love you so much

[lilac coyote]

That's a bit extreme, but I'm glad you were able to sort it.

[gritty warren]

Haha, no problem

[rapid wadi]

correct. this pic was posted a few months ago in one of other channels.

[lilac coyote]

He wouldn't have said it if it wasn't correct.

[frosty frost]

Yep, this Is the more complete version i talked about a bit later 🙂

[frosty frost]

*If i thought it wasnt correct 😉
|| (But thank you kindly 😄) ||

[steep tusk]

Why Smiffe no make master map a perfect square? 😭

[lilac coyote]

Smiffe didn't make the master map. It's actually been made in reverse by combining normal circular maps into one large image.

[steep tusk]

Smiffe made all.

[spice prawn]

Hey guys, I'm looking for advice on LAN setup. My buddy and I have two PCs, both connected to an offline router (new place, waiting to get Internet). We want to play valheim, but I'm having trouble setting it up. Is there any way to play together with just two machines? I can start dedicated server from steam, but then it won't let me open the game. I am dual booting, and I have valheim on both windows and Linux, same thing on both OSs. I am technical enough to figure some things out, but my hotspot sucks so I'm trying to do it without installing docker

[frail cave]

that master map was acquired by modding worldgen to not generate any biome other than meadows and omitting the world's edge, hence why it's so clean. it would go on for presumably infinite distances if it wasn't cut into this specific relevant shape, had a convo with jere about that a year or so ago, got confirmation of my top 3 tallest mountains ranking being correct that way, as the nearest mountain taller than polaris is iirc way beyond the range you can normally get a world in

this example did still generate rivers, that's a lil unfortunate. i wonder if it's possible to also remove the extra layer of noise that adds a slight bumpiness to terrain

[rustic wyvern]

Is the fenris set viable into the end game (mistlands/ashlands)? I cant stand being slow and much prefer the speed i get from this set over the other armours.

[subtle parrot]

It's still okay for mistlands, but you'll be happy to find the new armor in ashlands

There's also light armor in the mistlands, if you wanna be a mage though as well

[rustic wyvern]

Sweet, thank you.

[burnt forum]

Is there a limit to how far a raft can go in the game?

[lilac coyote]

The only limit is your bravery.

[subtle parrot]

No, but you may eventually need to repair it due to bumps into rocks and such

[burnt forum]

okay good to know. I wasn't sure if there was a boundary or something, because it randomly stopped for a moment and I was getting worried.

Also are the areas that boss stones will be located, can they be islands? or are they all connected to a single landmass? Is it normal that I have to raft my way like this just to get to the second boss of the game?

[subtle parrot]

Fairly normal yes

[burnt forum]

lol

[subtle parrot]

Though if you've already been into a black forest, you should have access to a better boat

[burnt forum]

im not complaining, I just want to make sure im not overdoing my patience with this game

and damn, I didn't know you could eventually build a boat at that stage. shit.

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, the raft is like using IE / Edge to install Chrome. You spend as little time as possible

[burnt forum]

well, im using the raft ofcourse, thats the first boat.

[hoary ocean]

erm .... so fully upgraded embla armor, fully upgraded mage staffs..... and I still get easily destroyed by like 4-5 skeletons in ashland if I just make 1 mistake... what am I doing wrong? or Ashland is just not for mages and I suck?

like even my skeleton just.... wither and die.. and they are just standing

like... they are just walking

[ripe bone]

they in water

[charred fable]

Forget bubbles and skeles. Staff of the Wild (Friendtacles 🐙) ftw

[ripe bone]

do nooooot, repeat, do not, forget bubbles...

😅

[charred fable]

Ok.. bubbles are still good. But Friendtacles

[hardy veldt]

does bonemass and bogwitch always spawn in the same swamp?

[ripe bone]

thats a strange question....yes?

[charred fable]

They can, but it's more likely to find them in different swamp areas. The swamp w bogwitch on my server doesn't have a Bonemass spawn.

[lilac coyote]

They definitely don't always.

[ripe bone]

ohh i didn't read that right

i thought they said same map

[hardy veldt]

i found it in 4 different worlds in a roow

row*

[rare fern]

what food should i cook for early game? im about to fight elder and so far ive only eated cooked boar and deer meat as well as honey

[frosty frost]

Pretty similar to Haldor and Elder spawning, might be somewhat often the case but they certainly don't have to 🙂 you were just lucky and/or didn't explore many other swamps that had conditions for her

[frosty frost]

Make cauldron and some soups, stews and jam 😄

[rare fern]

should i go for stamina foods or health?

[frosty frost]

HHS or SSH works well 🙂 depends if you want more stamina to dodge and weave or more health to tank more hits to your face. (H - health food, S - stamina food)

[rare fern]

much appreciated

[frosty frost]

You are welcome

[last osprey]

if you want to block/parry you'll probably want two health foods to avoid being staggered. If you rely more on dodging you can get away with one.

[tired root]

Being mage in Ashlands is totally viable and many people find it easier than melee. Your Skeletts, however, can have hard time without the shield bubble. And in that pic they are in water which damages players and all non-Ashlands mobs (plus few Ashlands mobs like voltures and dvergr).
If you have raided any fortresses and gotten any gems (2 of 3 of gems used in new magic items) you can craft 2 new elemental staves and 1 summoning staff that can help tremendously in there. If you have not, then Ember staff is good against groups and Frost staff is good against single targets. Fracturing staff can be useful too against bigger targets like Fallen Valkyrie. Keep shield bubble constantly on to have that extra protection.
For more mobility, you could try Asksvin cape for the small running boost and reduced stamina cost for running & jumping while wind is back. Then you could use Ratatosk tonic for speed and Lightfoot mead for jumping boost and keep avoiding enemy attacks better. Also remember to utilise eitr meads (lingering or instant).

[silver wolf]

Hi im new to valheim, is it possible that theres a modder spawner if there is an egg on the mountain?

[frosty frost]

The mountain Moder Is at can have the egg nests, but Its no guarantee the Moder altar will be there

[vocal plinth]

If i spawn proof a little plains island to grow barley, will mosquitoes and fullings with lox still spawn?

[tired root]

If the spawn proof area is big enough to cover the whole island then no.

[vocal plinth]

And i can spawn proof with work benches and fireplaces right?

[little trench]

dont waste time with skeletons. mage gameplay is the strongest and also the easiest. you basically just throw down vines and kite around in the vicinity of the vines until all enemies are slapped to death. you can aoe fireball if you are swarmed by voltures. when your bubble goes down, you jump away and cast bubble while in the air

[rare fern]

does anyone know how to relocate animals? I recently tamed a boar and its a good distance away from my base.

[frosty frost]

Best way Is actually to wait with taming until you have them in the place you want them to be, since they chase after you while still wild 🙂

[rare fern]

ah, well thats unfortunate

the pig has already been tamed

i tried pushing him manually but he just runs back to his original spawn

[frosty frost]

You can use hatpoon if you found some leviathans 😄

[dull nymph]

does fuling totems respawn?

[rare fern]

i still haven't beaten elder yet so i dont know what those are XD

[rare fern]

also is it weird for me to still be in black forests while being 19+ hours in the game?

[frosty frost]

Oh not at all 😄 enjoy nice and slow first feel, you can find the leviathans in the ocean but i will not tell much more to not spoil more than i already have regretably

[dull nymph]

Nah
You can rush bosses and biomes, but taking your time isn't a bad thing
We stayed a full week in the mountains bc me and my mates had trouble getting together online
Then in a single sunday we beat the mountain boss, went in the plains, explored a huge part of it, beat the plains boss, all in a single afternoon
But since we had to build new buildings, upgrade old stations, build new stations, etc etc, we ran out of basic ressources like wood and food lol

[rare fern]

would this work...?

[kind musk]

Hi guys, newbie here. I'm trying to undermine a massive Copper Deposit, but i can't get any deeper under it. Any tips?

[cosmic cedar]

Can I put a cart on a boat?

[cosmic cedar]

Mine the parts of it that touch the ground, if what you're trying to do is to explode it

if you want to build a base under it, then ggs

[remote silo]

yeah, you have to build a ramp and then destroy it to let it drop

i believe i've seen people just do the boxes from the cart onto the boat more effectively

[cosmic cedar]

Also do boats function the same way as carts?
I mean if there's lots of stuff in the boat storage, will it become less maneuverable?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[cosmic cedar]

ok, ty

[noble tapir]

a harpoon works really well, you just have to turn on PVP (cross the swords in your tab menu)

[delicate condor]

if I find a 2star boar in the map (far away from my base), until I kill it it's gonna be there forever, right?

[frosty frost]

It should yeah

[delicate condor]

I noticed that you can upgrade the deer hide set to lv3 but to do that, you need workbench lv4, which you get with bronze; but at that point, you can already sew the troll hide set or forge a bronze armor; what's the point in upgrading the deer hide set then?

[frosty frost]

Well you cant upgrade the troll armor to lvl 4 untill mountains, and carapace untill ashlands, its just a way it is 🙂

[delicate condor]

does upgrading armor sets so far make them viable for later biomes?

[frosty frost]

Yes, each lvl4 armor is basically as strong as the lvl1 armor of the next biome, however each biome is balanced to be doable in lvl1 gear

[delicate condor]

can I fit a cart in a Karve?

[spark violet]

how do i use the chopping block

it says i cant use wood

[delicate condor]

station it nearby the workbench, and your workbench will be upgraded to craft superior stuff

[spark violet]

how do i get finewood tho

[delicate condor]

chopping block is a workbench improvements, those are stations that improve on another work table

[spark violet]

ohhh

[delicate condor]

find copper and tin, smelt them together for bronze and craft a bronze axe, that will allow you to chop the white trees you saw in the meadows that will give you finewood

[spark violet]

thank u good sir

[delicate condor]

de nada amigo

[spark violet]

what weapon should i craft for the bronze?

[true steeple]

The bronze atgeir is good for trolls

And you'll need an axe at some point to chop birch and oak trees

[delicate condor]

depends on your likings, personally I play mostly with dagger + bow, but while you totally should develop your own gameplay, it's important to keep in mind that certain weapons suffer more damage from certain weapons rather than others

for example, 3rd boss is resistant to slash and pierce but is weak against blunt, which makes swords and daggers weak to him but will make maces very effective (just an example)

this applies for all kind of enemies in the world

[delicate condor]

after you get some experience, you can rambo trolls like I do with a flint knife, hi-framing his hits after you learnt his attack patterns and going in for critical strikes

but again some enemies I just can't take down with the weapons I like -- doesnt matter how much I like knife, it'll take me ages to take down a stone golem for example

[true steeple]

Before I get bronze, I roll through their attacks and use a spear/knife

[steep tusk]

After you get some experience, you can Rocky trolls like I do with bare fists. Hi-framing his hits after you learnt his attack patterns...

[delicate condor]

I find light weapons to be very rewarding, I don't like to be pinned down the ground and barely move, I like to dodge and move and have plenty of stamina --but that leaves me vulnerable, and sometimes just one hit can be fatal

[delicate condor]

@steep tusk mock me all you want, I literally did this moments ago while exploring for little islands in a full deer hide set 😛

@spark violet this is just to show you what game experience can let you do, although I was lucky to survive that one hit I got, it can be rewarding to take down foes like this!

Nevertheless, I suggest you first try with heavy armor and shield+blunt weapons, so you learn creature attack patterns and learn to block or dodge them 🙂

[spark violet]

Ok

so far i like the game, been building my house mostly

[delicate condor]

(btw I have no idea how the special attack didn't hit the troll, or I would have taken down a big chunk of his HP in critical strike)

[steep tusk]

Someone who's been around forever recommended an atgeir and you told said person they need more game experience. 😂

@true steeple git gud newb 💛

[delicate condor]

I did not tell them they need more game experience, I'm just saying this is not something you can pull on your first playthough most likely, but if he enjoys flashy/fast-paced gameplay like I do rather than heavy damage slow playstyle like atgeir and heavy armor, he'll need more practice and learn attack patterns.

I know you're salty with me Sevrahn but chillax

[steep tusk]

Why would I be salty?

Also I think you're confusing Atgeirs with something else if you remember their rapid attacks being "slow" paced.

[true steeple]

Battleaxes are the slow 2h weapon, not atgeirs

[steep tusk]

☝️

[delicate condor]

Atgeirs are those polearm-ish weapons, no?
I was more referring to short range weapons with very high speed values, but I have never really played atgeirs so I couldn't tell, can you confirm?

(pretty much daggers are the only ones with that playstyle I like, especially the dual wield daggers)

[spark violet]

i just encountered a troll

[tough hare]

I hope you killed it?

[spark violet]

ofc

1 troll and 5 of those brutes

against a guy with flint axe and wooden shield

[tough hare]

Good. Enjoy the new armor.
Now go find yourself some bones, as you will need those.

[spark violet]

i have bones

what bronze wepaon should i craft

i watched a video saying the atgeir was the best

[tired root]

It depends what you like to use, but atgeir is a strong option.

[spark violet]

I mean

[noble tapir]

It could be if you like that playstyle. I prefer one handers myself. I really like how the mace swings fast and staggers in bronze areas.

[spark violet]

i think im going for the crusade shield + sword combo

[noble tapir]

Sword in bronze age is good, yah

[vocal plinth]

are mistalnds as a biome safe for a portal for swamp exploring?

[stoic trench]

If you’re not at least in plains gear, probably not

[tough hare]

They're the biome after plains, so what do you think?

[spark violet]

what can i do with coins tho

[tough hare]

You can craft nice coin piles or use them later at one of the three different traders you will find.

[tired root]

Save them for money sinks known as traders you can find in first 3 biomes.

[spark violet]

theres a trader in meadows?

[vocal plinth]

mistalndsd are soooo dark

[spark violet]

where

[tired root]

That trader is a bit further from spawn point.

[tough hare]

A bit further out. Usually meadows on other islands. And this particular one is usually close to the Plains.

[spark violet]

im suprised i havent found him yet

[tough hare]

Most likely because you haven't been sailing yet.

[spark violet]

yeah this

[tired root]

From 3000 to 5100 meters from center.

[spark violet]

how do i craft boats

[tired root]

Radius of the world is 10000 meters.

[tired root]

Craft nails.

[spark violet]

k

[tough hare]

You will get the recipe when you get the right materials.
Equip the hammer from time to time and check if you see one under the first tab.
If you don't, you may be missing some item.

This basically works for all things you can make. Either on a work bench or the hammer.

[tired root]

Have you crafted bronze axe btw?

[spark violet]

nha

[tired root]

It can be used to cut wood your stone/flint axe couldn't.

[spark violet]

Yeah i forgot to craft it

[tired root]

You get one material for better boat from those trees, found in Meadows.

[cosmic cedar]

At what point of the progression can I start Hildir's quests?

[little trench]

"for a portal for swamp exploring" what do you mean by this?

[little trench]

atgeir is insanely strong mainly because of it's special attack. you spin and stun everyone around you

[tough hare]

He means he's once again exploring far beyond what his character is able to; which is being in the Swamp without having Bonemass killed yet.

[little trench]

oh so hes like asking if hes rdy for mistlands

[spark violet]

I like the sword buckler combo

[little trench]

thats good too

[spark violet]

The stun is amazing

[vocal plinth]

whats not clear about it

[tough hare]

You can start it the moment you discover her and accept the quest.

However, the bosses of the specific biomes (Black Forest, Mountains, Plains) are a lot harder as the usual enemies for that area.

So you may consider doing them after defeating the boss of the biome, so you got early next biome gear or maximum gear of the biome the bosses are in.

[cosmic cedar]

ok, I see

[vocal plinth]

whats this

[tough hare]

What does it look like?

[subtle parrot]

It's the far harbor, you've won the game

[vocal plinth]

a friendly mage

but is there any loot here do i break the boxes?crates

[subtle parrot]

If you wanna die

[tough hare]

If he entered Far Harbor, he'd better be careful to not run into some Mirelurks......

[vocal plinth]

really??

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[tired root]

Well, yes.

[vocal plinth]

Can i kill him with iron atgeir? or will he oneshot me?

[subtle parrot]

He will one shot you for sure

[tough hare]

Wrong answer. The right answer is:

"Why don't your try and find out?"

[subtle parrot]

Certainly

[tired root]

This would be a perfect FAFO moment.

(FAFO = fuck around, find out)

[tough hare]

I'd call that a "GASU" moment (Go Ahead and Screw Up)

[buoyant peak]

No

Yes

[frosty frost]

*Yes (but quite hard to do)

Yes 😄

[tough hare]

At Swamp level?

I have serious doubts about it.

[frosty frost]

Oh yes, it would be quite hard to do as i said, but i believe it is possible 😄

[tough hare]

Oh well, I entered the plains with my Black Forest level character in that biome's maximum gear and survived. But barely. And only because the only things I encountered were Deathsquitoes and only because I had my workbench and portal already up.

So it may be doable.

Still not advised to do so, however.

[tired root]

Maybe spamming secondary attacks the way that starred dvergr don't get knocked away. Like against that pole.

But get constantly staggered by secondaries.

[little trench]

would it get staggered?

[tired root]

Yeah, that is the question tho. Atgeirs have 6x stagger for secondary attack and afaik 40% of max life is the limit.

[little trench]

and for how long

i def wouldnt risk it lmao

[tired root]

If every secondary hit connects then it should keep that dvergr constantly staggered.

But very risky at that state.

[delicate condor]

I guess it is about salt then 💀

[delicate condor]

how did it go?

[vocal plinth]

What do i do if i summoned bonemass twice

At the same time accidentally

[tough hare]

Fight them both

[vocal plinth]

Can i despawn them

I tried fighting them for half an hour

And the healthbar barely went down

Do they not despawn?

[tough hare]

You can't despawn them.

You could try to lure one away from the altar and fight it somewhere else when it's alone.
Otherwise, run away, stock up on the right potions, the right weapons and the right armor and try again.

One trick you could use is running up the indestructible trees and try to hit it from there. At least that way the ads won't be too much of a problem as you can deal with them one at the time too.

[vocal plinth]

:////

Is it possible to kill one of the bosses via console?

How do i do it

[tough hare]

How many withered bones do you have left?

[vocal plinth]

Many, why?

[tough hare]

In that case, activate dev-commands and debugmode in the console, exit the console and press the "K" key.
That'll kill all monsters in the area, including the bosses.

After that, open the console and use "removedrops" to get rid of all the loot dropped from what you just killed.

When that's done, close console and summon Bonemass again.

[vocal plinth]

Will my character be killed as well?

[subtle parrot]

No

[vocal plinth]

Am i supposed to do this in the server's console or my chat?

[tough hare]

server's console.
And only if you're the host.

[subtle parrot]

The console, chat commands aren't the same iirc

[kind musk]

I completely underminded a Copper Deposit. It's floating, but doesn't collapse?

[vocal plinth]

Break some of it

[tough hare]

The hitbox of a copper node is quite large. Check if there's any tree, rock, log or even the floor near it.
IIRC you will need at least 2 meters between the node and the surrounding.
Meaning you may have to cut some of the bottom for it to collapse.

[subtle parrot]

Need to have at least about 2m of clearance around it

[vocal plinth]

How do i type in console

i see it in front of me but i dont think i can type in it

its a dedicated server so technically i am the host, but maybe this was meant as if I am hosting and playing at the same time

[steep tusk]

If the game is not being hosted on your PC, no console for you.

[hoary ocean]

awh thanks! yeah we have yet to do our first Fortress, that's why. all fire based damage staffs. would do no damage what so ever. Only the Iceshard missle staff was <<okay<< but it would take all my mana just to take down 1 enemi.

[tired root]

Remember: Ember staff deals also blunt damage, so it is still effective against groups of enemies. Almost all enemies take fire damage too despite being in fiery biome, though they are either resistant or very resistant.

But eventually it will become easier.

Ps. It would be a good idea to carry some melee that are effective against groups, like Himminafl or Demolisher.

[kind musk]

Anyone knows why this Copper Deposit just doesn't collapse? It's completely floating, 2m free everywhere and i've hit it multiple times

[frail cave]

2m clearance is not a guarantee, the invisible hitboxes are squares that don't even remotely match the visible shape of their fragments, so in some places you need less than 2m, and in some you need way more than 2, 2m is just the most reasonable number to recommend as general advice.
the ground below looks pretty steep, which is always a bit of a problem because the squares are not tilted along the terrain, so my guess is that one of the bigger inner pieces is still "touching" the ground, keep chipping away at whatever is closest to stuff

[kind musk]

Yeah the issue is that for some reason i can't dig the bottom out more

[frail cave]

you can only dig or raise ground for 8 meters past its natural shape, copper deposits are so big that they almost always go below that, thankfully you can split them down the middle, that's usually what allows them to shatter, but it does complicate things a little as the submerged fragments can also reach up into the air with their invisible boxes to keep the rest afloat further up than you'd expect

[kind musk]

Ok, so probably next time just mine the Ore, right 😄 ?

[frail cave]

it's so janky that you kinda need to have a feel for it for it to be worth it, yea 😅

but that's mostly because copper's fragments are so huge, the fourth biome's metal (||silver in the mountains||) has tiny fragments and is an absolute breeze to excavate and shatter, i highly recommend doing that still

[ebon marsh]

Sometimes not every node is able to be completely popped when that happened for me with copper I’d try split it in half and see which half is the half that stays and is connected somewhere

[kind musk]

Anyone got a good guide or something for a decent starter house? Cause mine right now looks like this:

[tough hare]

You may find something useful in this channel https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608 or the ones below that.

I don't think there's a "general" setup as everyone has his / her own preferences.

[faint osprey]

put your workbench upgrades under the floor

[tough hare]

Or on small platforms on the wall. Or even behind the wall, but close to the workbench.

You may even consider to move your workbenches out of your main building, thus creating more room.

You will eventually have a

• workbench + upgrades;

• Forge + upgrades

• stone cutter + upgrade

• black Forge + upgrades

• Gjaldr tabel + upgrades

• Artisan table + spinning wheel
  As well as a

• Kiln;

• Smelter;

• Blast Furnace

Out of these, the first group could be done in one building, with each crafting station at one wall and the stone cutter, artisan table and spinning wheel in the center.
With a row of chests for all your crafting resources in the center too.

The second group can be put in another building, with the raw metals and charcoal / wood close to it as well.

In one of my first games, I used a similar approach as the Stronghold games, meaning the crafting stations were all located outside under the walkway of my outer wall. It required a lot of walking back and forth with resources, but it worked.

Keep in mind, your the only limit in this game when it comes to building is your own creativity.

[kind musk]

Thanks guys, gonna look into it 😄

[delicate condor]

whats the ideal weight to reach for a cart to still be taken around without too much effort?

[subtle parrot]

Maybe 1500

[agile rapids]

0

[tough hare]

I'd say somewhere between 0 and 1500.....

[humble scaffold]

Can grausten floor be used as a roof for shelter and crafting? Also, does it suck to put in a grausten floor roof? I've got a cross stich of wood iron beams that feels unnecessary.

[delicate condor]

so much? 1500? isn't it super slow?

[subtle parrot]

A bit, but it's mostly manageable, maybe 1200 is better

[subtle parrot]

Depends how high and how wide you plan on doing it, but yes it's possible

[delicate condor]

does throwing stuff far away from my base start bloating the server and can cause issues/lagging?

[subtle parrot]

Just go toss it in the ocean, it'll go away eventually

[delicate condor]

thanks for the tip!
but... does it?

[subtle parrot]

As long as it's not in range of a base item to prevent it from doing so, it will despawn after a few in game days

[delicate condor]

uff, that's great then!

[tired root]

Afaik items underwater over 2m depth will despawn even when being inside the base item radius.

[tough hare]

You can also get an item from Haldor which will help you turn those items into coal.....

[delicate condor]

yeah I'm aware, just asking when I can't have one with me on the spot

[subtle parrot]

Heck, even better

[delicate condor]

can I fit a cart on a Karve?

[subtle parrot]

Never tried with a karve but it's possible with the longship though

[delicate condor]

should I make wooden stairs to push it through?

[subtle parrot]

You can certainly try

[delicate condor]

mmh although maybe it's better to spawn it on the boat and leave it there

[subtle parrot]

Mayhaps

[tired root]

Better than cart, you can break cart when it's full of stuff so it creates those boxes that hold the stuff that was in cart, they are weightless so they can be lifted in Karve easier. Although they are weaker so you could sail carefully with the boxes in Karve.

[delicate condor]

that's genious

[burnt forum]

Sooo. do enemy NPCs actually try and destroy your spawnpoint if you die near it?

[tired root]

But like I said, they can break easily so careful then. 👍

[tough hare]

If that spawnpoint is a bed; they might, as they will destroy everything that's between you and them.

The only thing that's never going to be destroyed is the spawnpoint at the sacrificial stones.

[delicate condor]

would it make sense to make a solid main base in this little meadows island here? (it should even be outside troll range too)
or should I better look for a place where I have at least 3 biomes at the ready?

[tired root]

That's entirely up to you, island bases are neat. Especially in Plains later.

[burnt forum]

well I died to a troll which I don't remember ever going near the bed. But then the next thing I know im being spawned back at the sacrificial stones and the spawn point bed was destroyed when I came hiking back.

[tough hare]

It's possible the troll destroyed the bed at the same time it killed you if you were too close to it.

It's even possible the troll destroyed it when trying to get to you if you for whatever reason circled around where that bed used to be.

[burnt forum]

damn, I guess im unlucky.

So there's one game mechanic I don't totally understand. The bed can't be "exposed" and has to have a roof, but then it needs a "fire" next to it. A standing torch doesn't work, so the only thing is a fireplace, but a fireplace has to be touching grass or else it will smoke whatever containment its in. Is there a point in the game where im not sleeping outside?

[gentle eagle]

The fire doesn't have to be right next to your bed, If you place it outside your house on the side that your bed is on it should work fine

You can also get hanging brazier's later that can be put on the ceiling and I think work as a fire

[burnt forum]

I see ok

[steep tusk]

but a fireplace has to be touching grass or else it will smoke whatever containment its in

?

What does this mean?

[tough hare]

Touching grass has nothing to do with smoking whatever containment it's in.

It needs to touch solid ground or a stone floor to burn.
Can't build campfires on a wooden floor.

[burnt forum]

If a fire is covered in an area covered by a roof, the smoke it exhausts will cling onto it. If you don't know, you can suffocate the player, its a status effect called "smoke".

[tough hare]

As for the containment, you need a certain height for the smoke to get away. You can do that with a chimney, an open spot in the roof or by placing the fire outside the house.

[steep tusk]

Ok, how did we solve that problem in real life when we invented fire and brought it into our homes?

Hint: ||Chimneys||

[burnt forum]

well yes, I suppose, but then I suppose I have to break wooden floors just to place it. I don't know, its just weird to me.

the game clearly wants it to be an outdoor fireplace by the looks of it

[steep tusk]

Prior to stone floor you just have a cutout in your wood floor, yes.
In both cases you just build a chimney so the smoke has somewhere to go.

They game does not clearly want all fires outdoors.

Especially given the second fireplace has to be placed on a floor.

[burnt forum]

aight, point made

[steep tusk]

Point of curiosity: did you not grow up in/currently live in a part of the world where we have and use indoor fireplaces?

Reason for question: "Chimney" seems blatantly obvious to me, but I did grow up using a fireplace irl, so the connection was immediate.
Wondering if that is maybe the disconnect of why you didn't consider them as an option?

[tired root]

To their defence, not all games have "fire makes smoke" mechanic so it is not always so obvious.

[noble vault]

something I noticed and wonder - can frost caves (marked on my map with FC) only be found on mountain areas that are gray on the world map?

[frosty frost]

They often are there as they like to spawn on the slopes (no snow on those so they are grey on map) but i have seen few on top of mountains surounded by snow 🙂

[noble vault]

oh sick, thanks. I've asked too many frost cave questions recently lol

[spice prawn]

Hey guys, I'm looking for advice on LAN setup. My buddy and I have two PCs, both connected to an offline router (new place, waiting to get Internet). We want to play valheim, but I'm having trouble setting it up. Is there any way to play together with just two machines? I can start dedicated server from steam, but I can't join from my PC or the other one. Ports are open and other LAN games work, but I can't figure valheim out. Anyone have any ideas?

Asked yesterday and didn't get any ideas, still can't figure it out today

[noble vault]

I take it you've done all the usual bits? Setting up server's start.bat to use your PC's IP, -port 2457, forwarded 2456-2458, checked firewall settings, etc? Only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is some routers play weird with DHCP because your PCs IP isn't static.

[spice prawn]

I was under the impression I didn't need to port forward for LAN, but I think I've done everything else correctly. I will look into router settings , thanks for the advice!

[noble vault]

All good. I'm not strong on networking but I know when my partner was setting up our home network his primary issue was dealing with router having LAN isolation settings, some issues with wifi security (remedied with cabled connections), and still port forwarding issues with the router heh

[spice prawn]

Okay, thanks! I'm happy to hear it's possible, I read a reddit post where people were saying it was disabled through an update to the server menu. As long as I know it works, I'll keep on figuring it out

[vocal plinth]

Do serpants always drop only 4 serpent scales?

[lilac coyote]

Sometimes I wonder why I bother with the Wiki.

[tough hare]

Because you hope someday someone will reply here and say: "I checked the wiki and it was so nice to have all the info ready for the taking. Great job!" ??

[lilac coyote]

No, I don't do it for the respect (that would be stupid!) It's just to save everyone's time.

[vocal plinth]

I did look at the wiki, it says 8 idk how reliable it is and i am asking here

I only got 4

[lilac coyote]

Well, given that I wrote that line and it's the same answer I'll give you here I hope that's enough. It's 8-10.

[vocal plinth]

and i checked for 5minutes in the spot and there was still only 4

[tough hare]

It's very reliable.
Scales sink if you don't get them fast enough.
Which is most likely what happened to you.

And IIRC the sinking of scales is also mentioned at the wiki.

[vocal plinth]

means my friends mustve stolen it

[vocal plinth]

i killed it on a shore

land, until knees deep

[lilac coyote]

Arms spaghetti?

[tough hare]

Well, if you mention that the first time you ask a question, it'll make answering it a lot easier for us.

[vocal plinth]

no yall just like to make fun

[lilac coyote]

No,we've both now given you answers to your questions. (and have done for the last week, all 1000 of them).

[tough hare]

Do I now?

And I got that told a few minutes after I told someone else why I try to help them.

[vocal plinth]

you complain that you were mislead to my question yet you didn't answer it directly

[lilac coyote]

Huh? I said 8-10. What more do you need?

[clever juniper]

my favorite part of the wiki is when I start a new playthrough and I can't remember the recipe to craft something and I'm like "wth am I missing!?"

[vocal plinth]

And what does this suggest in your opinion?

[vocal plinth]

that was not your first answer to my question

[tough hare]

You said you killed a serpent and got 4 scales.
You didn't tell where you killed it, which means it can be on land or from a boat.
Which in the latter case means there's a probability they have sunk.

Since I didn't know where you killed it, I gave an answer based upon the assumption you were on a boat and thus they'd sank.

If you had told me right away you killed it on land, I wouldn't have made the comment about scales sinking as I would've known they couldn't sink.

Capice?

[lilac coyote]

I give up, I'm just going to mute you. Imagine being that rude to someone trying to help you.

[vocal plinth]

ironic

[lilac coyote]

What is ironic? That you have NO manners and just insult the people trying to help you?

[tough hare]

Hah! I had that the other day.
Found out it wasn't an ingredient, but an action I hadn't done. In particular, killing a boss....

[vocal plinth]

fair enough

[clever juniper]

I always forget to make a spring and grinding wheel which unlocks the crafting station upgrades

[tired root]

"Why I can't build Blast Furnace for Black metal, I have the mats for it!"
checks wiki
"Oh, right. Time to kill Moder first."

[tough hare]

In my case it was the mountain feast. Thought it would be great food combined with Serpent Stew and Serpent Meat to kill Moder.

Except...........

it only unlocks after you kill Moder.

Still a good feast to kill her the second time, but for the first time..... I don't think so.

[clever juniper]

and somehow the magic lightning shotgun takes bloodstones and not iolite... still throws me off

[tired root]

Sea feast gives same amount of HP and stamina as Mountain feast.

[tough hare]

I know. But in this case the thrill of unlocking it was also important.

I spend somewhere close to 26 hours exploring mountains before I got onion seeds. Probably less, as I took a detour fighting Brenna and looking for the Bog Witch. But getting that feast was a reward for something I struggled to get so long.

Oh well, I will get a new Ocean feast up, jump to the mountains, kill the winged Mother Lizard and craft the new feast for the Plains.
Which is where the real fun begins as I can snipe off a lot of Fulings.

I hope. 😄

[tired root]

Yeah, I also like Ocean and Mountain feast combo for Plains, plus the best HP option.
I was quite lucky in my Hard world I started some time after Bog Witch patch, as I found her in my 3rd Swamp plus Haldor and Hildir in the same continent. Then I was lucky to find quite many Serpents near my base in few nights.
Feasts and the new meads really have changed the early/mid game for the better!

[wispy skiff]

is the fall damage in this game ridiculous or is that just me? i feel like i'm the ||devergr|| falling from a skyscraper when i'm dropping 2 feet off the side of a hill

[lilac coyote]

No, it's really forgiving. It caps at 100 HP.

[wispy skiff]

not on a misty death run 😂 😭 😭 😭

[maiden hinge]

I used to get smooth 60fps on lowest settings now it fluctuates between 40-50 is there any change?

[lilac coyote]

Well, it caps at 100 no matter what biome you're in. And by Mistlands you should have FAR more health by then AND a feather cape.

[wispy skiff]

yeah but i'm saying i got cooked and i needed to drop 3 feet and died from a tiny drop lol

[lilac coyote]

You don't even start taking damage below 4 feet.

[wispy skiff]

could've fooled me

[wispy skiff]

if i take damage from falling the same height as my character probably a little taller regardless if it's under 1.0 that's not a forgiving fall damage system

[lilac coyote]

You don't, so the system is working fine.

[wispy skiff]

you do but alright derek

[lilac coyote]

As I said you don't take damage from or below 4m.

And then even then, after 4m it's only 6.25 damage per metre up to a MAXIMUM of 100.

[maiden hinge]

You can always logout just before touching ground and login again to avoid dmg if solo

[wispy skiff]

i guess my cameras zoomed out too far? idk i'm just not feeling the stats like they are, but i also don't know the details of the game along heights and all that so it is what it is but it don't feel like it when youre nakey trying to get your stuff back 😂

[wispy skiff]

that's smart too i'll have to try that sometime, i'm not solo but still a good idea

[tropic lion]

How can i start a Farm

[lilac coyote]

Create cultivator, cultivate land, plant things with cultivator, harvest food when it's grown.

[tropic lion]

i am new how can i make a cultivator

[lilac coyote]

Do you have a forge yet?

[tropic lion]

no

[lilac coyote]

Ah, you're a little way off farming then.

[tropic lion]

i am Pre First boss

[lilac coyote]

You won't be farming for a while, but there's plenty of food out there.

[tropic lion]

ok ty

[fresh veldt]

Berries and deer/boar/necks meat is your best bet for now

[remote silo]

you can breed boar immediately

i just started a new world and found 2 1-stars

[rustic wyvern]

Whats the best food combo for mages?

[agile rapids]

i missed more fun it seems

what???

[lilac coyote]

Oh, our first bot of the year, lovely.

[copper island]

anyone able to hop in my server and help me fight Moder?

[lilac coyote]

And you've posted it in #valheim-help because...?

[ripe bone]

really makes you think doesnt it

[burnt forum]

I apologize if this is late to say. I didn't know whether or not the game had firespread mechanics yet, (I had only killed eikthyr) and something of such seemed plausible since the entire world is apparently destructible, so I guess I kind of shied away from the idea of making one. On my part, I should have just asked you that instead. Anyway, I thank you for helping me, and I did make a chimney as you suggested.

[steep tusk]

Next level is understanding the smoke has a timer per particle.
So once you start making large enough buildings you don't even need chimneys. It just collects up in the rafters and despawns before ever having enough to come back down.

[burnt forum]

Thanks and happy new years. I can officially say that now.

[rapid berry]

Hey is there a secret mechanism that makes it so every time a player enters a boat the wind must be a headwind? Or does the headwind cycle every “x minutes” and I’m always just unlucky 😂

[steep tusk]

You are just unlucky.

Killing Moder will fix it though.

[velvet anchor]

hello @muted hatch thanks for your mod. More World Traders

[buoyant peak]

Unlucky

[cosmic cedar]

What?

[little trench]

yea that used to happen a lot when i was playing with a friend that was lagging

[spark violet]

my portal isnt connecting

i forgot to set a tag

[quiet acorn]

Anyone knows how the character backup works in Valheim?
For ex. i teleported, got dced, lost all my inventory
If i restore to a earlier character backup, where i had died
Will i be able to find my tombstone somewhere or is the gear gone?

[subtle parrot]

You could try to do that, but it's easier to just spawn in what you've lost with devcommands and then keep going.

[cosmic cedar]

Every time I die, does the no skill drain effect timer reset or is it a set timer for said effect?

[quiet acorn]

Think it's a set timer, tho on 'normal' death penalty there is still skill drain
Right after u die, it tells u top left corner 'skills lowered' (by 1 on 'normal')

[valid stag]

Hello all...I recently lost access to my server...(the host shut it down)...and I have sinced started over but have no way to repair my high level equipment at the moment...I was hoping someone with a Black Forge could do me a favor. and invite me to their server so I can repair my weapons and armor....Please

[vocal plinth]

Try asking in #dedicated-server channel, i think you will find more ppl with servers there, I havent advanced that far yet

What launcher should i use for valheim, launching from steam gives me either standart or vulkan version, whats the difference?

[clever juniper]

Vulkan is a 3D graphics alternative to DirectX, if you aren't sure just pick the regular launcher and you will be fine

[tough hare]

As said in Valheim chat, you may have better success in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510.

Also a kind request, don't post the same question in two different channels in a short timeframe.
It's considered as spamming and it's very annoying to see the same thing being answered in two places, thus messing up the channels intention.

[languid sapphire]

can someone suggest me a loot filter mod that dont require the player to tamper or edit the files

[tough hare]

Someone in here may know it for you: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[kind musk]

Any tips how to get back to my gear? I got clapped by a troll and he also broke the Portal. And my boat is there as well...

[tough hare]

Create a raft and back-up gear, circle around that spot until you find a good landing spot, land, shoot the troll from a distance and run away.

After that, just circle around until you get to your items and recover as much of them as you can.

Or you try to take the troll out, giving you more time to get your gear back.

[remote silo]

make a new boat

[tough hare]

If the combat is too hard, you can always exit the world, set the world modifier to an easier combat mode to deal with things, exit the world again and set it back to what you used to play at.

[spark violet]

where can i find carrot seeds

[frosty frost]

In black forest, white flowering plant 🙂

[kind musk]

Is it correct that if the height difference between 2 spots is too big, you can't really level it? You just either have to lower one spot with your pickaxe, or raise one spot with your Hoe. Is that correct?

[frosty frost]

Yes

However there is also a limit to how much you can alter the terrain even using those

[kind musk]

You mean with the 8 meter difference? I saw that on a clip somewhere

But now i'm just talking about a little bit of leveling

[frosty frost]

Yep, you can alter the ground up to 8m up or down 🙂 for normal leveling you dont have to concern yourself with those

[kind musk]

Got it, thanks!

Also, maybe one more stupid question. How do i fill gaps like this. I tried it with the Hoe but it stays a bit of the same

[frosty frost]

Right click with hoe and select raise ground 🙂

[kind musk]

Oh, so for small gaps like this i do need to raise it a bit?

[tough hare]

You could use a wooden wall pice (1x2m) with adjusted snap points to close it.

[frosty frost]

Or that 😄

[kind musk]

Got it, thanks!

[cosmic cedar]

Why does this happen?

Do I need multiple campfires?

[clever juniper]

It needs to be under the Hearth (large stone fire)

[loud linden]

GMMAS is currently open (Glorious Moose Multiplayer Assistance Services) for a very short while. Need help with a boss? Tombstone recovery? Building advice? I'm your moose.

[frosty frost]

Try 2 next to each other it should work, tho you could use hearth

[loud linden]

You can get away with multiple campfires, but go with @clever juniper's advice.

[clever juniper]

I never knew that 2 fires would work for that station, interesting, thanks!

[loud linden]

Hearth gives better comfort too. If you can make it, campfires are obselete (at least at a base).

[frosty frost]

Gets you better comfort and more fire range 🙂

[loud linden]

Hearth is good!

[cosmic cedar]

What's the best way to beat abominations?

[frosty frost]

Sword + buckler is my favourite, or leading them into fire geysir 😄

[fringe bluff]

I'm trying to spawn in a mage staff in a test world but it won't let me pick it up. What am I missing?

[buoyant peak]

Which mage staff?

[fringe bluff]

spawn charred_magestaff_fire

[frosty frost]

Oh, thats not player usable staff i believe

I think thats the one the warlocks use

[fringe bluff]

Ok. I'm looking for the staff of embers but I can't find the spawn name

[frosty frost]

its id is StaffFireball 🙂 you can look up items on wiki and they have their ow id on each page 😄

[fringe bluff]

ahh, I was looking at the wiki and looked right over the box. thanks

[silver cargo]

Hello everyone, im relatively new, and wondering if someone can come to my server, or I to theirs, and get some items? please.

[tough hare]

The best place to ask that is in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

I'm sure you will find lots of likeminded people there.

Also:

There's no need to ask the same question into multiple channels.
It's considered impolite and only makes tracking questions a lot harder to do.

[muted hatch]

Your welcome! Glad you're enjoying it, lemme know if you have suggestions or feedback

[winter crag]

how do you use commands
