[noble tapir]

Then I work towards misthare or meat plate. Omelette, salad for melee

If you like to parry, try 2hp 1stam first

Lox, skewers, blood pudding. Or lox, serpent, blood pudding

[tranquil hawk]

how will i have the stamina tho to attack and parry

[noble tapir]

You're not losing that much with those. Your food is not great for mistlands as is.

[last osprey]

I'd suggest running a sealed tower or buying some chicken eggs from Haldor instead. Honey glazed chicken is a lot easier to source than farming double the misthares for meat platter on top of misthare supreme.

[noble tapir]

Yah. That's a good point. I'm used to arbalest and magic, which is easy to farm rabbis

[last osprey]

also the plains feast is a very nice compromise between hp and stam and has a higher stat total than meat platter and HGC, so FHS is a valid no-magic food combo for Mistlands as well.

[last osprey]

use the lox pies and bread for plains feast. Much more efficient and better stats too. Blood pudding will serve until you can start producing salad.

[noble tapir]

Armor is nice to have at lvl4, but I would for sure upgrade frostner to 4

[tranquil hawk]

how do i unluck the recipe cause i got eveything but i cant make it

[frosty frost]

If you mean salad then you can produce it in mistlands

[spark violet]

im stuck on a big ass seamonster island thing

i cant build and my raft got destroyed by some stupid serpent

[vast bramble]

u mean levitian

[spark violet]

yeah that thing

i killed it with my axe, i didnt have a bow with me

[vast bramble]

[vast bramble]

where is the base

[spark violet]

[vast bramble]

i think

[spark violet]

your going wrong way

[vast bramble]

oh okay

[spark violet]

head east, and use in game chat

[vast bramble]

[spark violet]

yeah

[vast bramble]

dont have it on

[frosty frost]

Chat, you open it by pressing enter

[spark violet]

press enter

[vast bramble]

oh this

i thought commands console

[frosty frost]

And to speak to any distance put /s before message

[spark violet]

now press M for the map, and see if you can see my pings

[tranquil hawk]

no, the plains palate

[frosty frost]

Oh, yeah feast unlocks after defeating boss of that biome, so you need to kill Yag

[tranquil hawk]

we did

[frosty frost]

Hmm, did you get the Grasslands herbalist harvest from witch? the spice in your inventory looks a bit too green for that

[tranquil hawk]

yep

[frosty frost]

Are you sure thats not woodland herb blend?

The Grasslands herbalist harvest should be a bit less vibrant green

[tranquil hawk]

ur right

can u pop the pertrified bone skulls?

or is it just the rib cages u can pop

[frosty frost]

You can the skulls too, but somewhat often the ground can interfere

[tranquil hawk]

theres nothing touching it

[frosty frost]

Probably similar problem to copper, the invisible hitboxes are touching something 🙂

try to mine the lowest parts of ribs first and then check from sides if there is something too close

[tranquil hawk]

can u use mods to see the hitboxes while being on a only server? thats hosted by a place

nvm, i popped it

[frosty frost]

I have no idea, never used mods and i very very rarely play on servers

[tranquil hawk]

i hit the giant flat tjing inside at the back of its skull

[frosty frost]

Ah good 😄

[zealous parrot]

ok si i bought a new pc, specs are i5 14600k , 32gb ram, i dont have a gpu yet but it has an integrated 16gb gpu, when i open the game, it goes black screen then comes back then black screen repeatedly. is it cuz i dont have a dedicated gpu? or is this not normal

my old pc i5 7500, 16gb ram, gtx 1050ti 4gb was handling the game quite well though, so im confused

[last osprey]

sounds like a driver issue

[frail cave]

i just killed a greyling with my fire staff and a surtling spawned?? is that a thing?

[steep tusk]

No?

[tired root]

Sounds like a mod thing maybe.

[frail cave]

i'm playing vanilla

[tired root]

Thanks for clarifying. Is it possible you have had Surtling raid at some point?

[frail cave]

i did

but theres noooooooooo way it was just sitting right there where the greyling died and i didnt hear or see it

[tired root]

It's possible it didn't despawn because it got aggroed by nearby mobs from different faction.

[frosty frost]

Well it is most likely what happened, surtling can remain for very long time after the raid

[tired root]

Can confirm. They usually keep attacking other mobs for some time even after the raid has stopped.

There is no other explanation really.

[zealous parrot]

pardon?

[last osprey]

have you updated your new computers drivers after getting it?

[onyx seal]

I am a bisect hosting server person. I was wondering if anyone could shed light on the max number for bisect hosting configuration to set things like skill increase. I know the start is 100 and the min is 1 but what is the max? 300? 500? What is the max?

[zealous parrot]

ahh ok lemme retry

[zealous parrot]

same problem, after updating the drivers and bios

[quiet cape]

still cant Craft certain items when i have all the materials already verified files and everything like that wondering if anyone else is having and issue like this

[flint surge]

is fine wood only obtainable from birch tree?

[subtle parrot]

No, you can get it from oak trees, random ship wrecks, and birch trees @flint surge

[onyx raptor]

will I get a two star if I bread a 2 star and no star wolves ?

[subtle parrot]

You will

[onyx raptor]

will they despawn if i leave them ? or i have to stay near them untile they get tamed ?

[subtle parrot]

Once they start the taming process they shouldn't despawn, just make sure they have yellow hearts floating off them and you should be good

[onyx raptor]

I can see a white heart 😄

[lilac coyote]

There'll be a 50% chance.

[onyx raptor]

ok now i can see the yellow heart

[subtle parrot]

Probably just cause it's snowy lol but should be good to leave if necessary, but the taming process will pause while you're away

[onyx raptor]

ah , really ? good to know

[subtle parrot]

For more info
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming

[onyx raptor]

damn the no star one despawned , i just left to get my rested buff 😄

[tranquil hawk]

Is krom any good at mistlands

[vagrant wren]

does the online work in xbox free trial

i can't find anyserver

[frail cave]

i just got shot and killed by my own ballista? is that a thing?

[onyx raptor]

been there

[tough hare]

Yup. Been like that from the moment they were implemented.

There are a few solutions to deal with it:

1. Don't load them until you need them;
2. Load them, but put a trophy of the mob it will have to deal with most likely the most in it.
3. put some shutters in front of it. That way it won't be able to "see" anything and thus won't target and shoot anything it "sees".

[kind musk]

Is this fixable? I have a floor below the ground floor, but i'd like to close this up. But i'm not sure if you can build/make completely flat walls in this game...

[tough hare]

You won't be able to get that gone with terraforming.
There is however a trick you can use.

Which is expanding your floor over the gap, then build your walls at the outside of your floors like you always do.
That way, the gap is gone from your view and you actually gained a meter on your first floor's space at all sides.

[subtle parrot]

Are you trying to join a friend's server? There aren't any public valheim servers

[vagrant wren]

yes and the community servers appears sometimes and then disappears

I tried joining some servers but they are the only servers I can see now

[subtle parrot]

Have you tried clicking the refresh icon to the left of the filter line?

[vagrant wren]

yes

[subtle parrot]

Hmm that usually works for me if they disappear

[agile rapids]

are fiddleheads and smoke puffs plantable?

[subtle parrot]

Are you using a VPN or anything?

[subtle parrot]

No

[vagrant wren]

no

we have the same problem me and my friend

[frail mango]

guys my friend stopped playing and i want t play alone the map he has,can he transfer the map to me?

[vagrant wren]

im playing on xbox app btw@subtle parrot

[subtle parrot]

I play on console, so I'm not really sure if I can help unfortunately

[vagrant wren]

okay ty

#valheim-help message

[vocal plinth]

How much fenris hair can i expect to get from a frozen cave?

[icy brook]

Like 0 - 20

[tranquil hawk]

how does the infested mines work, like doors pop up randomly, even when they werent doors before

[clever juniper]

doors were always there, you just might not have noticed them before

the are a couple types of hidden doors so inspect carefully!

[delicate condor]

how can I fortify and protect this base/area from trolls and future raid threats?
is there a way or should I find a better place?

[tough hare]

You could build a plateau with two dirt walls leading into the water to protect your dock and a moat at the land side.

Keep in mind that you need enough room for a main building, your crafting stations and their upgrades at least one portal and an area to store all your "loot".

Personally I would try to find myself an island large enough to construct multiple buildings and raise that a tad above sea level.
With stone or even palisade walls you're able to keep a lot outside; especially if you put spawn proof items next to those palisade walls.

[little trench]

you can do dirt walls. it will make it safe to everything that cant fly

and then later if u want other walls, like black marble, its easy to just mine down those dirt walls

[delicate condor]

I love the idea of an island but my previous run I found this island and I stopped the run halfway through moving my old base into the new one: it was too tedious and frustrating and sea level was covering my building...

so while I love the idea, I think it takes too much time and once you do find it, if you do, gathering all the material becomes an hassle, especially this early now in the game...

[tulip dawn]

for old worlds, do i have to explore a new swamp biome to find the witch? or can she generate on previously explored swamp areas?

[frosty frost]

You need previously unexplored one 🙂

[tulip dawn]

alrighty

I'm guessing the spawn distance for the traders from the spawn is haldor-witch-hildir then

[frosty frost]

Haldor is at least 1500 meters away, Hildir is between 3000 and 5100 meters and Witch between 3000 and 8000 meters from spawn

[loud rapids]

Is it possible for a wyvern raid before defeating bonemass in any way? On a dedicated server we got a wyvern raid

[steep tusk]

This game has wyverns?

[loud rapids]

nvm I answered my question

[frosty frost]

I am pretty sure they mean drakes, and yes if you are playing with more players and player based raids are enabled. @loud rapids

[loud rapids]

somebody probably joined with a character that had a wishbone, also yes I meant drakes idk why I keep saying wyvern

[tranquil steeple]

hwo do i stop dying on the ashlands
it took me atleast 4 deaths for reaching flametal ore and i got around 40 of it

[clever juniper]

forts typically have some flametal in the chests, so you don't need to mine much

but you can also tame an asksvin and ride it through the lava to collect flametal

[steep tusk]

How do you not die everywhere else?
Apply same strategies.

[tranquil steeple]

i never said i never died anywhere else

[steep tusk]

I never said you did?

[tranquil steeple]

i can sure try the same strategies but ill see how do i make them work

[clever juniper]

unfortunately the random lava plumes can just be unlucky,

[steep tusk]

I'm saying you "don't die" in the Ashlands the same way you accomplish not dying everywhere else.

[tranquil steeple]

ohh i see

[remote silo]

Okay, I have two pigs I've entrapped with roundpole fences. I have them in basically a 1x1 right next to each other. Both have raspberries in their individual enclosures. Only one of them is getting tamed. There is no fire nearby and I am within range. Any ideas?

[clever juniper]

Is the other one able to see you or any other enemy? Make sure it doesn't have a red exclamation or yellow alert symbol

[remote silo]

nope, i'm increasing my sneak behind a furnace actually (not lit)

[frosty frost]

Can you maybe send a screenshot here?

[remote silo]

Okay, he is taming now. I let him out into a larger portion of the enclosure, re-aggro'd him and snuck away. I think his aggro just bugged the first time

It was weird that the 1-star boar tamed completely before this one figured out what he was doing

[unkempt dirge]

How long does it usually take to tame a Lox?

[frosty frost]

Same as all other animals, 30 minutes 🙂

[clever juniper]

You can also speed it up with a potion

[unkempt dirge]

Ok thanks

What kind of potion?

[clever juniper]

Have you met the Bog Witch?

[unkempt dirge]

Yes

[clever juniper]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Mead_base:_Animal_whispers

[frosty frost]

As Okama said you need to find the Bog Witch first, then you need to buy ||pungent pebbles|| from her and if you have carrots and onions you can make a base for the potion of Animal whispers 🙂

Oh... i took a bit of while to write it out it seems xD

[unkempt dirge]

I have carrots where do you get onions from?

[clever juniper]

Mountain

[loud rapids]

run around looking for chests in the mountains they have the seeds in them sometimes

[clever juniper]

Onions are definitely something you will want to have for other good items, not just this potion

[unkempt dirge]

I was a bit bummed I had to go back to the mountains but that made me more intrigued to get them. Thank you 🙂

[clever juniper]

Good luck!

[shadow stag]

what are the exact spawn specifications of serpents?

im trying to hunt them consistently every night

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones#List_of_spawners

[mortal sigil]

can anyone help me get my stuff out the plains at some point

[shadow stag]

so this means every 16 minutes there is a 5% chance to spawn at night/thunderstorm?

[lilac coyote]

It's 5% for night and 5% for thunderstorms so potentially 10%.

[agile rapids]

if i kill all the warlocks o=in a fortress before entering, will they be replaced by weaker charred or will more warlocks spawn?

[shadow stag]

they stack?

[scenic sundial]

so whats the summarized lore on her?

she has spiked my curiosity

[lilac coyote]

Doesn't really have any yet sadly.

[shadow stag]

I know have 204 health and just killed bonemass

God bless seafarers meal + serpent stew

[ripe bone]

female, lives in the swamps, probably older than 25, probably more knowledgable than a random person, doesn't speak english.

[winter crypt]

the ideal female form

swampbound and thriving

[rich roost]

Good Morning. My frend sent me a save game of the world that we have the server wher i need to un zip the files so i can play solo?

[little trench]

wouldnt it be Y position? i thought Z was up to the sky

[little trench]

yea in 2d direction on the map / on the ground

or are you saying the game has Y as an axis up to the sky / down to the ground?

[ebon marsh]

Z is north south X is east west and Y is up down

[little trench]

aight

[vocal plinth]

What would i find if i went to deep north

[tired root]

Nothing, except the fish that lives there.

But it's best to leave unexplored if you want to have all content possible when the patch is deployed into the game.

Or at least, as unexplored as possible if you want to catch the fish there.

Explanation:

When a new content patch updates your world it will leave explored areas as they are but the new content is found in unexplored areas (like when Bog Witch came and she could be found in unexplored swamps).

Biome patch works the same idea, but the content is added to the area of that biome. If you explore undeveloped areas deeper in DN those areas will not get the new content (dungeons, materials, other POIs etc) when the initial patch is there as they are explored already, they instead will be barren with only possible mobs spawning.

TL;DR: If you want the most content in DN best leave it unexplored.

[vocal plinth]

meanwhile ashlands are fully released?

[frosty frost]

Yes, they have been released since spring/early summer of last year

[vocal plinth]

i see

[vocal plinth]

How would you go about making a roof for this house?

[tired root]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608 You could ask here, they can surely help.

[vocal plinth]

ty

[tranquil hawk]

is there even point in this upgrade, i cant parry either way

[true steeple]

If you're only doing normal blocking there's no point to upgrade, but the buckler will parry significantly better

Why can't you parry?

[tranquil hawk]

they deal way too much dmg and i dont have enough block force

[true steeple]

Block force is knockback

[tranquil hawk]

then why cant i parry like soldiers, 1 stars and 2 stars?

[subtle parrot]

What difficulty are you on?

[true steeple]

How much health do you have? You need health and block armor to block things

[tranquil hawk]

oh

[tranquil hawk]

hard now, had it changed

[subtle parrot]

If you were on very hard, it's not really worth it to try to block anything, everything hits so hard. On hard it should be possible though. Although I don't think i encountered any 2 star soldiers when I played on hard.

[tranquil hawk]

i encountered a soldier 2 star on normal 💀

[subtle parrot]

Yeh that should be easy enough to counter on normal

[tired root]

Hard difficulty increases the damage mobs deal (roughly 50% more) so it's harder to block/parry.

[tranquil hawk]

should i be focusing on leving my blocking and not dying then? cause 50% more block armor

[tired root]

With enough HP you could still parry some, but not so reliably. Atgeir secondary attack staggers enemies so that is alternative way to control enemies.

[tranquil hawk]

since soldiers gonna be this difficult, im gonna guess, the queen is gonna be dreadfull to parry?

[true steeple]

She can deal up to 150 damage in normal difficulty. You should roll through her attacks instead

[tranquil hawk]

`

i dont get it, why isnt it turning into bronze

[true steeple]

Scrap bronze and copper scrap are different items

[tranquil hawk]

ow

WTF

FYI THERE IS NO MISTLANDS CONNECTED TO THE YAGULTH ISLAND

[subtle parrot]

Could have been a night spawn that didn't despawn for whatever reason

[frosty frost]

Did you have seeker raid recently?

[tranquil hawk]

HUH?!

[tranquil hawk]

NO, WE HAVENT GOTTEN THAT FAR YET

[frosty frost]

Only after killing Queen 🙂

[true steeple]

They only spawn at night if you have killed the queen

[subtle parrot]

Ah, I misremembered

[tranquil hawk]

we havent killed the queen tho

[frosty frost]

If you killed Yag you can get seeker raid

[subtle parrot]

I misremembered the order of spawns, disregard, sorry

[modern wren]

Greetings, can you tell me if the mob is not stunned when attacking, is this a bug or have the combat mechanics been changed? Previously, when I was playing, the mobs stopped without any problems. Maybe it depends on the difficulty level of the battle?

[golden python]

My controller works even when disabled. Is this a bug?

[frosty frost]

Most mobs have a certain threshold of dmg you have to do in very short time for them to stagger/get stunned, and since with higher difficulty setting you do less dmg it is harder to get them staggered.

[modern wren]

I've just tried playing on normal difficulty, mobs don't get stunned either.. Can you explain now how it works?

[frosty frost]

I will refer you to #general 😄 Winter has given you great explanation there

[agile rapids]

what damage type and what skill do the brserkir axes fall under?

[frosty frost]

Slash + chop and axes + wood cutting, one counts when agains enemies and other when chopping wood

[little trench]

yea slash + chop https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Berserkir_axes

[agile rapids]

oof, not many levels in axes

[little trench]

yea sadly axe is bad until u get those

would be dope with earlier dual axes

like iron dual axes why not

[agile rapids]

do battleaxes count?

[little trench]

like to axe skill? yea

[agile rapids]

and what skill do 2h swords fall under?

[little trench]

sword

slayer goated weapon btw

[steep tusk]

Axe is not bad...

[sonic mason]

Hello! I was hoping to find out if there is like a "creative" version of the game and how I might be able to play that way? With unlimited resources...

[steep tusk]

World Modifiers.

[sonic mason]

how might I load or install these modifiers?

[steep tusk]

They are baseline to the game itself.
There is no loading or installing.

When you select the world you want to play on, there is a World Modifiers button.

[sonic mason]

Oh I see there!~

Thank you!

[frosty frost]

You can build with no cost using world modifiers as stated by Sev, however that way you still have to progress and unlock stuff through the game. If you want creative with everything unlocked you need to enable console and enable debugmode.

[amber veldt]

How well equipped should I be for eikthyr

[delicate condor]

is it normal I only defeated Eikthyr and got raided by surtlings??

[true steeple]

Eikthyr is pretty weak but you need to be equipped for what’s ahead. Make a level 3 shield and weapon

[delicate condor]

got him with flint knife and bow lv1, depends on your skill and playstyle tbf

[amber veldt]

And what if my modifer is set to very hard combat?

[true steeple]

I haven’t played vh, but that’s still the best you can get without progression skips

[delicate condor]

then armor alone won't save you; I'd max-upgrade the best equipment you can get (deer hide armor + flint weapons) and learn his attack patterns so you can dodge them

[amber veldt]

Good thing I've upgraded my stuff to level three

[delicate condor]

yeah then again it depends also on your playstyle; you like to facetank with shield? kite with ranged weapons? or hit&run with fast paced weapons?

[amber veldt]

I usually alternate between bow and S&S(Spear and Shield)

[delicate condor]

good: analyze your strong points, learn enemies' attack patterns and elaborate a strategy with what you've got

👌

[amber veldt]

I've done eikthyr before so I know his attacks and how to avoid them, to me its just like fighting an oversize boar with lightning attacks lol

Now I know you're supposed to do this in lfg but are either of you down for a fresh world?

[delicate condor]

sorry but I really can't
good luck though, viking

[amber veldt]

Thanks

[delicate condor]

[vocal plinth]

Can i add iron wood somewhere to strenghten just a little bit to close up the roof or do i need to get more support form below?

[heady folio]

hello new here and in valheim, just simple question, placing workbench stop spawn mobs in all biomes?

works general?

[ebon marsh]

Workbench blocks spawns in a 25m radius around the bench I believe

[heady folio]

ok ty, so it works globally in all biomes

because i placed workbench in black forest in stone tower and skeleton spawned right before my eyes\

i stood in tower near workbench

[vocal plinth]

weird

any chance he was there before?

[heady folio]

this is why im asking

[vocal plinth]

they spawn in all floors of the towers, did you fully clear the tower?

[heady folio]

no all mobs killed before, clean place

maybe this can be, floor

but i think i already killed all

ill check

[tranquil hawk]

how do i get bronze scrap in mistlands

[vocal plinth]

probably by miniung down some structures

[tranquil hawk]

ye, which ones

[vocal plinth]

You can get copper scrap by breaking some Dvergr structures and mining Ancient swords/armor in Mistlands

[tranquil hawk]

i dont see no bronze scrap, so wiki lied?

[clever juniper]

there is no bronze scrap

[tranquil hawk]

so wiki lied, wow

[clever juniper]

the wiki doesn't say bronze

just copper and iron

[tranquil hawk]

it does say bronze

[buoyant peak]

You don't

[buoyant peak]

It literally says ashlands there

[frosty frost]

You get copper scrap in mistlands and scrap bronze in ashlands

They just have the same icon

[tranquil hawk]

where

[buoyant peak]

Where what?

[tranquil hawk]

ahh

[cinder zenith]

All the vc in this server, are they from a specific server in-game or something or anyone can go into any of them and screenshare their adventure?

[ripe bone]

over there

[vocal plinth]

can I not place crystal walls on crystal walls?

[frosty frost]

Anyone can go there 🙂

[cinder zenith]

Ty

[tired root]

They need support, they cannot be placed on other crystal wall.

One good support would be iron cage wall (they look good as windows).

[delicate condor]

how do i fix this zigzag here in the terrain without making a rectangular area?

[vocal plinth]

you dont

try to hoe it maybe

[frosty frost]

Unless you slope it to the water you will have zigzag

[delicate condor]

slope is opposite of steep? sorry im no eng native speaker

[vocal plinth]

do you like this solution?

[cosmic cedar]

what is that?

[vocal plinth]

odin

just chilling

[cosmic cedar]

So all he does is scare you and then dissapear?

[vocal plinth]

ye

[frosty frost]

Basically, make it less steep so there is gradual hill

[vocal plinth]

What items are leaving tomorrow that are related to christmas?

[tired root]

Yule items.

[vocal plinth]

ok

and what happens when i break them after they left?

[frosty frost]

You can't build them without commands until next yule season

[vocal plinth]

cant*?

[frosty frost]

Yeah sorry

[cosmic cedar]

Does a fire prevent the freezing effect?

[frosty frost]

Yes

[tranquil hawk]

how much does the player incrase boss hp

[true steeple]

Each player within 100m increases any creature’s health by 30%, but this is capped at five players

[agile rapids]

wait, so if i'm in the middle of killing a greydwarf, and my pal starts running towards me, it'll gain helth and not die? lol

[tranquil hawk]

can i parry with this

[thorn spire]

yes. 1.5x parry bonus

[ornate palm]

if i download the steam dedicated server, is it possible for my friend to send me his world we were playing on so i can turn it into a server on my pc?

[cosmic cedar]

are there any useful items in a draugr village?

[thorn spire]

yes, there are chests that can spawn in the buildings. also you can get iron nails from thrones in the big buildings.

you can also build an afk/sausage farm from the spawners.

[calm timber]

Yes, I do not remember the specifics, but the friend can send over the world data files and you can replace your server files with that

[ornate palm]

ok, tyvm. i don't need to change names of anything right? i have done servers for ark for example, and that needs you to swap host file names to work correctly.

[calm timber]

The game should just look for worlds in the folder, so when you have moved the world files over, the world should be visible in-game

[ornate palm]

ah ok

[calm timber]

I don't know how the server stuff works, so that is how far my knowledge goes

But I do know it is possible cause a friend of mine did this exact same thing where we moved over a world we were playing on to them and they then hosted a server off of it

[chilly shadow]

If you're still having trouble i would try in #dedicated-server

[ornate palm]

tyvm

[ornate palm]

ngl, i completely missed that channel until you just said it.

now i can't believe i never noticed it lol

[lament dune]

I just made it to the swamp what sort of weapon should I use?

I’m currently using the ategir is that good?

[frosty frost]

It will certainly work 🙂 no need to change it but swords and especialy maces perform a bit better

[quiet island]

Does anyone know if you can use devcommands with mods? and how?? (single player)

[thorn spire]

gonna need to ask in #mods-discussion to get a good answer to that.

[lament dune]

Oh awesome that’s good to know! Thank you 😁

Also how do I get more chains? Are they only from the flying ghost guys?

[frosty frost]

And can be found in dungeons and chests throughout the swamps 🙂

[little trench]

YES goatgeir is VERY good

[lament dune]

Oh no way, do I need the key to get into the dungeons?

[little trench]

you can place a wooden chair inside of the dungeon and sit on it to enter

like on the other side of the gate bars

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂 if you dont want to use cheezy tactics

[lament dune]

What that’s crazy haha, you can still get out?

[little trench]

yea

and also "cheesy" translates to "high iq" btw

[lament dune]

Very interesting thank you guys

[frosty frost]

If you have already got the key it is really not necessary

[frosty frost]

And this is simply false

[lament dune]

The swamp is so much different than the Black Forest it’s crazy

[little trench]

lmao im just messing @frosty frost

[lament dune]

I would hate to die in a dungeon with the key and not be able to get back in 😭

[delicate condor]

I just started a world and only have been in meadows and black forest and the first raid I got was surtlings?
how is this possible?

[little trench]

when u use key on the gate, it unlocks so its fine

[frosty frost]

Also good practice is to carry portal with you constantly and place it on top of the crypts before you go in, that way you have easy way to go home or back for gear if you die

[lament dune]

That is so nice whew

[little trench]

i guess you loaded in a nearby swamp and there was a surtling that died from water

[lament dune]

That’s very smart! I’ll do that

[delicate condor]

lol

[willow jungle]

What stuff regrowss in the Ashlands? So, what is worth marking on the map?

[steep tusk]

The the ferns and the vineberries.

[willow jungle]

So not the Fiddleheads and Smoke Puffs?

[steep tusk]

Fern == Fiddlehead, just a lot less letters.

[willow jungle]

Fair enough haha

[thorn spire]

smoke puffs regrow as well.

[frosty frost]

And yes, smokepuffs too

[willow jungle]

Nice, thanks, all of you 😄

[steep tusk]

Puffs are everywhere though. So I don't mark them.

[vocal plinth]

Can i colour signs in valheim?

[eternal heart]

you can colour the letters not the sings

[compact heath]

is it set to player based raids?

[delicate condor]

player based raids?

[compact heath]

It’s a world modifier setting in the game

There is some bug with that where people get raids they are not meant to get yet

[frosty frost]

Yep, type <color=white> before you type anything else and the text will be white for example 🙂

[delicate condor]

no idea I just went with default settings, didn't touch the world modifiers

[compact heath]

If both world and character are new and you don’t play with anyone than it might be a bug, if you do play with someone…

[delicate condor]

my character isn't new, my world is though

but I started the world butt-naked, nothing in my inventory

[compact heath]

That might be the reason, the char has maybe met the raid criteria, killing a surtling and Bonemass. Even if the settings are standard and this should not be enabled yet this seems to be happening with old characters since a recent patch even on standard settings

[weary field]

Hello! Need help to recover my loot, anyone could give me a hand?

[agile rapids]

if you're completely out of options, enable passive creatures or even o build cost for a ship

[tranquil hawk]

which one can i parry the queen with on hard difficulty

[true steeple]

Rolling costs less stamina and you won't take any damage at all

[tranquil hawk]

parrying is cool

[true steeple]

The buckler is more likely to work but I don't know if it will

[true steeple]

You should make a feather cape

[tranquil hawk]

already made on

[gritty warren]

After defeating a boss, the creatures in the new biome spawn in the other biome on FOGGY nights

[tranquil hawk]

whats the dmg increase per player joining the boss btw? for example the queen with 4 people

[true steeple]

4% for each player, capped at five players

[true steeple]

30% is for health, sorry about that

[tranquil hawk]

30% per player or 30% in total incrase

[true steeple]

+30% health per player, also capped at five

[tranquil hawk]

your joking

[toxic cape]

quick question, i died in lava, is my gravestone still going to be there?

[true steeple]

Yes. Gravestones cannot be destroyed

[toxic cape]

thank god

[frail cave]

quick question are the new ships y unlock a straight upgrade or is it a trade off type thing?

[toxic cape]

straight upgrade

storage space increased, faster speed, and the last one can sail on ashlands waters

but, they are obviously bigger, so you might find it more difficult to manouver

[frail cave]

thanks^^

[lone siren]

I've been trying to kill Fader as a mage, but I can't deal enough damage, is there a specific strategy to it or weapon I should use? after about 30 minutes he's still at about 90% HP

[clever juniper]

staff of the wild

is what works best for me

[little trench]

trollstav. sit at range and maintain 2x trolls. you can throw in some vines when u see ground isnt covered with fire

and fireball some summoned archers once in a while

[shell coral]

what is better a copper mace or sword?

[tough hare]

Assuming you mean the bronze weapons, to fight skellies the mace is better. For the other monsters in the Black Forest it doesn't matter much.

For Trolls a spear or the bow with fire arrows still works best.
Don't waste bronze in crafting bronzehead arrows.

[shell coral]

how good is mace in Swamp

[compact heath]

one of the best weapons there for quite a few things including the boss

but there is also some monsters where sword is great

but for skellies blobs oozers and the boss its worth making a mace everytime, latest playthrough I just made a level 2 mace just to have an easier time with boss

[woeful rapids]

What is a nice looking way to build roof over the stairs?

[frosty frost]

I would add the atgeir as strong contender for the best weapon against trolls 😄

[tough hare]

I have no experience with the Atgeir, so I can't judge for myself whether or not it's good. Nor do I know if it's doing slash or pierce damage.

I do know that from the bow and spear, hence I mentioned those.

[subtle parrot]

You can put a roof ridge off the higher end, and just let it step down

[tired root]

You've never tried atgeirs really?

[subtle parrot]

I tried them twice, not a fan personally

[clever juniper]

the special attach staggers a troll in one shot, makes it my favorite for trolls

[frosty frost]

Ah, it does pierce dmg, so great in that regard, and Its secondary should stagger 0 star in one hit and then you can just spam primary pretty much. For 1 star you need at least 2 hits with secondary but again after that just spamming primary Is enough to keep them in stagger loop 🙂

[tough hare]

I think somewhere in my first 10-20 hours of this game.
Couldn't get the hang of them, never used them since.

Heck, I'm even starting to use spears after over 1K hours in my current game. So who knows, perhaps I may try atgeirs at some point as well.

[frosty frost]

Heh, nearing 1K myself and still didn't use spears really that much 😂

[tired root]

Maybe after another 1K hours you will? 😁

[tough hare]

We'll see.

But that was the reason I didn't mention them. Better to use what you have knowledge from as to provide the wrong kind of help.

[tired root]

I see your point. 👍

Buckler and Copper knife can also be devastating to trolls, Abyssal Razor even more (since it's technically iron tier knife).

Especially with backstab bonus.

[tough hare]

I found that retreating under one of the entrance "dolmen" of the burial chambers works quite well too.

Used that when being fighting a 1 star troll. Lured him over to that spot using my bow and fire arrows - which do very nice dmg with the hazard modifier on - then stayed there while the troll just stood for the entrance / exit.
Went into crouch and stabbed him with a lvl 4 flint spear. Saw lots of yellow numbers popping up while I did that.
The moment the troll left, I crouched out, shot him, went back "in" and did the same thing again.

Now I wish I could do the same to Stone Gollems. 😦

[nocturne maple]

Do carts on boats take damage from Ashlands water?

[thorn spire]

anything other than a Drakkar will take damage in the water, yes.

I don't think any equipment takes damage from spray or similar.

[buoyant wren]

Does anyone else's gamepad glyphs reset to Xbox every time they log in? I set mine to Playstation but they revert to Xbox whenever I quit and start the game back up.

[noble tapir]

anyone know the spawn command for drake trophies?

[ripe bone]

can find the id on wiki

[noble tapir]

thanks, it's under hatchling, weird

[ripe bone]

it tends to be weird

[fringe viper]

What is the bog witch and how can I find it? Is it similar to hilidir?

[loud rapids]

yeah its in the swamp somewhere, it doesn't appear near spawn

[frosty frost]

Haldor is at least 1500 meters away, Hildir is between 3000 and 5100 meters and Witch between 3000 and 8000 meters from spawn 🙂

[pulsar breach]

if i plant some crops and go to sleep, will it speed up just like smelting ingots?

[hardy veldt]

isnt this rare?

[frosty frost]

Yes, but they still need multiple days to grow

[tranquil hawk]

what do i go for

[ebon marsh]

What is your highest weapon skill level

[tranquil hawk]

sword 32 and club 15

[marsh wigeon]

Hi

where I can find the trader?

[frosty frost]

#valheim-help message 🙂

[vernal oxide]

Is there still a way to unlock odin set?

[frosty frost]

You needed to play before early access, you cant get it now

[willow jungle]

What is the best automatic breeder for Asksvins?

[little trench]

id just keep playing w mistwalker

try the slayer 2h sword

and infuse it with lightning when u can

[ebon marsh]

Would nidhogg not be better cause of the faster attack speed?

[tranquil hawk]

i 100% want both, big boi sword and something to parry with a shield

[tired root]

Slayer is good even as unenchanted. And can be upgraded to quality 3.

[stoic trench]

Unenchanted slayer looks super cool as well!

[olive ocean]

blunt

[placid plaza]

What's the point of a gapped bridge if the mobs push each other ti cross the gap? 😭

[frosty frost]

So they dont pour inside uncontrolably

[placid plaza]

so a door is still needed?

[frosty frost]

It would be preferable, or just spawnproof everything

[placid plaza]

and I should stay away from the bridge to stop them from aggro

[placid plaza]

mhmm idk how to do that yet but I guess raids will happen regardless

[frosty frost]

Raids will happen, but when spawnproofed properly nothing will spawn from them 😄

And you spawnproof by placing player base structures everywhere 🙂

[placid plaza]

Ill do that

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[unborn fox]

thanks sevrahn

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base here you have all player base structures if you want 🙂 But there might be some that you didnt see yet so be careful of spoilers

[steep tusk]

But I believe the answer is "no."
They may know a work around.

[unborn fox]

kinda what I figured, thanks though. I will wait and see if anyone bites

[steep tusk]

Reason #346 I don't do multiplayer. 😉

[unborn fox]

yeah 😛 this is the the 3rd or 4th server I've hosted. Slowly I've gotten to a fairly comfortable place, but man is it an elaborate patchwork of mods/troubleshooting

[steep tusk]

Noooooooooo

Mods 🤢

[unborn fox]

oh believe me, I am a staunch advocate for vanilla play. I have friends though that straight up won't play unless their character looks like a vtuber or they can fix their vertical hitboxes/ auto farm etc.

hence why we are all in very different places progression wise lol

[steep tusk]

I would get different friends /s 😉😏

[unborn fox]

Good point, I should threaten them with being replaced. Problem Solved B)

[steep tusk]

Modern problems require modern solutions!

[full jolt]

hey, im trying to place a feast with the serving tray, but idk why, i dont see the feast i made to place it in the menu of the tray, am i dumb?

[frosty frost]

Are you in Feasts tab? 🙂

[full jolt]

oooooooooooooooooh, my god im dumb, i didnt even realise there were tabs T-T

[frosty frost]

Thought so 😄 for some reason lot of people dont notice it

[full jolt]

i thought i had to cook it in a furnace, so i didnt eat it since meadows lmao

[fathom badge]

Yes. The Maypole adds one extra comfort, but it is also seasonally buildable. It's rare to find a spawn, but it's possible to add one t any/all of your bases eventually.

[toxic cape]

can i destroy balistas with a bow and arrow?

[stoic trench]

Yep!

[ebon marsh]

is there a rough area I should be looking in for the ashlands sword quest? I havent yet seen any and im not sure if it can spawn anywhere or more inland or what

[stoic trench]

Have you been looking in putrid caves for vegvisirs?

[ebon marsh]

I’ve come across like 5 or 6 now and not seen anything of the like in any of them

[vocal plinth]

why cant i place stuff here

[ebon marsh]

man you cant make this shit up lol

of course as soon as I ask about it I find it

Holy it’s on the like the other side of the Ashland’s too that’s rough

[frosty frost]

Too many upgrades already around

[vocal plinth]

but their hitboxes are small

i can place them furtherbut i want to use as little space as possible

[severe pewter]

All my minerals don't cook anymore because the smelters don't work

[frosty frost]

Wdym dont work?

Also can you not post to all channels the same thing?

[vocal plinth]

I cant even hang the spice rack around

[severe pewter]

I don't know they stopped working

[frosty frost]

Do you have anything above them? And do they have fuel?

[ebon marsh]

Is the roof too close to the top of the smelter

[remote silo]

the worst imo is the forge bellows

[severe pewter]

yes

[frosty frost]

Yes to what?

[severe pewter]

I have everything in the furnace to use it but it doesn't work

[frosty frost]

And do you have anything close above it?

[severe pewter]

Yes

[frosty frost]

Remove it and it should start working again

[severe pewter]

I've already tried but it doesn't work

[frosty frost]

Does it work if you make one outside?

[severe pewter]

In the meantime I tried to restart Valheim and now it works thanks for the help

[vocal plinth]

whats the point of bathtub

Do i need put wood in it or something

Oh yeah i got

[remote silo]

it provides comfort

[vocal plinth]

Oh, should it be near the bed then?

[little trench]

ya

[vocal plinth]

whats the max comfort in minutes, im at 21rn

[shell coral]

Should I make new base somewhere else, after defeating elder? I am at my spawn Island, my current base is decent enough, but any biome I should move to for Qol as main base?

[vocal plinth]

I live in Meadows so idk

Meadows seems to be the safest biome so far

[frosty frost]

24 without seasonal items, 26 with them

[remote silo]

Like Wildfrog said, meadows is the safest (besides making an island out in the water), but once you advance far enough you will at least need a farm in the plains

[shell coral]

understood

[frail cave]

hey can any one explain too me 3 things?
1 waht does block power mean on the shield
2 waht does block armor mean on the shield
3 how does armor overal so the number you have for example 20 work is it like -flat 20 ?

[lilac coyote]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Blocking has a pretty good guide.

[unborn anchor]

guys i mined the whole thing and i havent gotten any ore? what am i doing wrong? xd

[lilac coyote]

You've barely scratched the surface to be honest.

[unborn anchor]

😭

[lilac coyote]

It was definitely, copper, right?

[unborn anchor]

yeah

i only got like 2 stacks of stone

[thorn spire]

Dig down around the whole thing and you'll find lots more.

[frail cave]

quick question does bonmass scale wiht player numbers i only tought him once a 1year ago wiht 2 frends now im solo

[lilac coyote]

All mobs scale with the number of nearby players.

[compact heath]

Does it say Copper when you hover over it, does it have glowing veins running across it? Looks like a stone deposit the same shape as copper deposits to me, I looked at the screenshot best I could. I m fairly certain this is not copper.

[frail cave]

yea the inside texture of copper deposits is very different from the rock one, that's just a regular rock 😅

[unborn anchor]

Damn :(

[tranquil hawk]

why still agrod

[lilac coyote]

Why wouldn't they be?

[tranquil hawk]

huh?

[lilac coyote]

Why do you think they shouldn't be aggroed?

[tranquil hawk]

what are you smoking mate, its clear im tring to tame it

[lilac coyote]

Wow, OK, I won't bother helping you then. Jeez. And no, it's not that obvious.

[true steeple]

How long has it been in there?
Reload the area with a portal or by logging out

[tranquil hawk]

i cant help to say stuff like that, when u always sound annoying every time i ask somethin

[tranquil hawk]

its fine now, i just walked away much further its fixed now

[lilac coyote]

You can help it, really easy. It's not hard to not be a dick.

[arctic monolith]

can someone help me and my friend recover our body, we just landed in ashland and wiped with everything

[sudden glade]

Is there a way or mod on which I can place/create lava? Wanting to make a lava moat

[true steeple]

You can’t change lava normally, but you can try asking in #mods-discussion to find a mod

[sudden glade]

Thanks

[languid sapphire]

how do i enable creative mode im pressing f5 nothing is happening

i want to spawn some stuff that lagged and got lost due to my internet

[lilac coyote]

Have you enabled the console in your steam settings?

[languid sapphire]

how do i do that

ok i think i found a video about it

[lilac coyote]

Open the properties for Valheim in Steam and add -console into the Launch Options bit.

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Enabling_the_console is also handy.

[languid sapphire]

now whats this error?

[lilac coyote]

Have you typed devcommands?

Oh, wait, that error? Are you running mods?

[languid sapphire]

yea

[lilac coyote]

Looks like one of those is out of date.

[languid sapphire]

i see

[tranquil hawk]

why not breeding

[tough hare]

I only see one (tamed) animal in that screenshot.
For breeding you need two, they need to be happy and they need to be fed.

Also, if it's a Lox, no roof above them.

[stoic trench]

‘Basicly Goldish’ is toward the top of the screen

[lilac coyote]

That's a player.

[stoic trench]

Ah, gotcha

[lilac coyote]

Unless they're trying to cross breed Vikings and Asksvin...

[tough hare]

Getting something like a Viksvin?
Or an Asksing?

[tribal sun]

Does anyone know how to fix a server when it says missing DB

[sudden galleon]

☠️ ☠️

[tribal sun]

I don’t know what to do

[vocal plinth]

How did you break it

[subtle parrot]

You need the .db file

[vocal plinth]

Yeah but how does one lose it

Unless it never worked to begin with

[subtle parrot]

Probably didn't copy it over when they copied the .fwl file, which they need both of to run a world

[tribal sun]

I don’t know I just logged on and it says missing DB and I can’t load into my server

I’m on Xbox

[scenic sundial]

imo just uninstall and reinstall

should get all files back

[vocal plinth]

Where do you imagine the old world files generating in a newly created server?

[vocal plinth]

Perhaps there are any cloud saves or auto backups you can restore from

[clever juniper]

perhaps someone in the #xbox-bugs-discussion can help better

[jade ember]

Hi i keep getting some notifs from malwarebytes blocking malicious sites originating from the valheim.exe file, anybody experience something similar?

[jade ember]

199.195.250.222 -> FranTech Solutions
184.75.221.171 -> Amanah Tech Inc.
104.254.90.195 -> Amanah Tech Inc.

I uninstall the game after each play bc it just looks sketchy, tried uninstalling & re-installing steam but didn't do anything

[solar oar]

does having a large base affect performance?

[steep tusk]

It does in every game ever made, so yes.

[tough hare]

Just ccurious, are you using mods perhaps?

[solar oar]

nvm it was just one of the few mods i was using, ive only got plant everything and vein miner

and extra slots

[jade ember]

No mods, joined a friends server and ever since i've been flooded with these

A little under year ago, which would make sense bc these look like server hosts

I deleted the character that was in my friends world , no notifs yet

[tough hare]

If they look like server hosts, have you check the multiplayer part of the start screen if any old world shows up in there?

If it does, you could try to remove all those worlds and see of they pop up after that.

It would also be a good idea to check the valheim folder and check if anything of the old world is left behind in there.

The path to where your world files are stored depend at your OS.

This will give you an idea where to find it:

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

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

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

[jade ember]

I reckon getting rid of the character save files might have done the job

[jade ember]

Thank you dude you rock

🐐

[tight nymph]

just made it to the mistlands and wanted to know if the banging cart against ward still works for not angering the dwarves

[jade ember]

What??

The dvergr?

[buoyant peak]

Yes

[tight nymph]

so no aggro?

[buoyant peak]

No aggro

[tight nymph]

yippie

[tough hare]

You're welcome.

Hope you manage to solve the problem and play the game again without having to uninstall it all the time.

[tight nymph]

if i steal from their chests will it aggro them?

[tough hare]

It will only aggro them if you break the chest using a weapon.
Picking up items from a destroyed chest won't aggro them.

So either use a cart, a seeker or a gjall to destroy that chest and you're good.

[wide crescent]

I am all for realistic graphics but I HATE THIS SHADOW

[lilac coyote]

Why?

[wide crescent]

during daylight its not that bad

BUT AT NIGHT, that shadow dancing in insufferable

[gloomy dagger]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Blocking
I'm reading this page, and i think its not clear on how the stagger mechanic works, can anyone explain in detail?

[steep tusk]

Blocking sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat and has a ReadMe page that I wrote to go into more detail that most care to know.
If something is still unclear after reading it, ping me.

[frail cave]

hey so im curently in the mountains and i unlockd the fenrir armor i heard its super good even op but the armor state is even lower then my curent iron armor from the swamp? waht am i missing?

[steep tusk]

People who state it is OP are saying they prefer movement speed over armor value.

If you prefer armor value, you will not find it to be super good.

[frail cave]

got it

[jovial lion]

Which of these tick boxes would have the most impact on performance? I need a little bit more fps..

[void zealot]

SSAO, distant shadows, and particles

[agile crown]

Moving fast is simply good
I dont like heavy armor at all, light armor is enough for the way i play

The first heavy armor i even consider is the carapace

[steep tusk]

Moving fast is simply good

Unless you're talking about Ashlands framerate 😭

[lament dune]

Does anyone have the problem when looking in a certain direction usually at night it’s extra dark in one area?

Like one area I look is so dark I can hardly see and I look behind me and it’s lighter

[frail cave]

that happens near dawn and dusk when looking away from the moon

[spare ravine]

id untick motion blur too because its fugly

oh nvm, it already is

[noble tapir]

turn the lighting and shadows down, that'll have the best impact

[noble tapir]

yah, it's a pretty bad right now, i am wondering if it was from the updated unity engine

[frail cave]

if you turn soft particles off, do note that the white mist puddles you sometimes see on the ground become nearly opaque in some areas, horrible for building

[lament dune]

Okay cool it’s not just me haha, I was wondering why it gets so crazy dark

Makes the swamp even more scary 😭

[uneven dome]

Okay, I've just spent two days scouring for and spelunking ||Frost Caves|| in search of Tetras to no avail. I did find one that had the ||frozen lake with the dead fisherman person at the bottom||, but aside from that, nothing.
Is there any data that suggests some might have a better chance of spawning them based on how far away from middle they are?
Currently playing vanilla server.

[shell coral]

What things we can build on a boat?

[chilly shadow]

Nothing

[sullen vine]

More fuel in fire means more smoke, right? Or i'm tweaking

[tropic granite]

I would decrease render scale and disable antialiasning, but never ssao - the game looks absolutely nasty without it

[sullen vine]

(Spoilers ig...)
you can use valheim map tool (https://valheim-map.world/) but if u consider that as cheating look random seed and just see how rare and how far they spawn:

[loud rapids]

theres a dedicated server I'm on where we've had a couple raids with insanely strong enemies for no reason, massive hp and damage. Why?

[last osprey]

Hildir raids? Those are the only ones that are notably stronger afaik.

They get unlocked when someone returns one or more of Hildirs chests.

[willow raft]

Also more players near each other means more dmg and health: Creature damage is further increased by 4% and effective health is further increased by 30% for each additional player within 100 meters. These are also applied to tamed creatures. This scaling caps at 5 players.

Any starred mobs among those because that also increases hp and dmg.

Also what kind of raids because what zock says is also true.

[loud rapids]

alright the raids we experienced are still anomalies then

It was a pack of wolves, nobody remembers getting the "you are being hunted" message, and they took about 10 arrows to take down when regular wolves only took 1

[cerulean hazel]

I feel like my portal hub walls are too flat, what should I do to make it "pop" more

[last osprey]

there is no such raid in vanilla. sounds like a mod issue.

[loud rapids]

alright I'll ask if we've got any mods that could cause that

[celest narwhal]

Maybe instead of insetting the top of the wooden beam diamond windows, make the top two beams overhang! You could also add a top border along the perimeter of where the roof touches the siding that overhangs the walls!

I think it's a really cute building though ♡

[tough hare]

You may find some in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

I think there's also a body recovery service somewhere listed on this discord, but I got no clue where.

[quaint eagle]

thank you ill take a look

[frosty frost]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630 There you have it 😄

[cosmic cedar]

Are there cultist and ulf spawners in frost caves?
I feel like I've been fighting waves of them nonstop

[thorn spire]

spawners, no. one-time spawns in there, however if you're lucky to get a good cave, there can be lots.

[cosmic cedar]

ok, ty

[lament stirrup]

ok this is pissing me off, can someone tell me what causes this bullshit?

[frosty frost]

Mods?

[lament stirrup]

thank you, someone told me in DMs its cuz of aedenthorn's mods. it seems hes purposely disabling dev console...
well thats an easy blacklist

tested and confirmed, adding him to blacklist. screw him for secretly doing it... ffs reminds me of Arthmoor

[gilded fiber]

I have a question: is it possible that while running in the black forest, 2 seakers can spawn and focus on me? And why does something like this occur?

[thorn spire]

Yes, depending on where you are in the game progression. Are you alone or on a server?

If you or someone in the world, has defeated the queen, seekers can spawn pretty much anywhere at night.

[gilded fiber]

ok thanks

[gilded fiber]

There's a way to stop this from spawning on the small island?

[thorn spire]

Yes, if you completely spawn-proof the island with base structures.

[frosty frost]

Or go sleep at night 😄

[thorn spire]

Who has time to sleep?

[jovial lion]

Ok thanks I'll try

[gilded fiber]

If I used wards would it do anything?

[thorn spire]

no

campfires or workbenches all over the island is your best bet.

[willow raft]

Any playerbased items will spawn proof the area around it, you can check the distance with the workbench and then choose whatever playerbase item you want.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base
Since the ward is a player base structure it will work but there are cheaper options.

You can also "bury" a workbench or other player base structures, dig a hole, put workbench in it and cover hole back up till only a small portion is visible.
You can also connect the workbench with something that stays above ground, like a wooden beam trough the workbench in an angle and then connect it with a sitting log, rock, tree, house, ...

The things that need fuel don't need to be fueled up to spawn proof.

[frosty frost]

Btw the artisan table has the largest spawnproofing area at 40m radius, so if you want you can farm Moder for a while and have lots of them around 😄

[loud rapids]

Wow that sounds like a hilarious amount of extra work when you could just chop some trees, I approve

[steep tusk]

Eh, once you're rocking Ashlands weaponry she dies very quickly.

[buoyant peak]

Killing moder isn't as difficult once you get better gear. And there are three full tiers worth of that

Fracturing staff alone would demolish her and it's the earliest ashlands staff

[loud rapids]

Yeah but you still have to collect the eggs. Potentially easy too but still far and beyond more complicated than cutting down trees which was my point

[buoyant peak]

Her altar usually spawns close to the three nests you need to summon her

[stoic trench]

Could probably carry 3 eggs with meginjord, endurance mead, and Fader power, right?

[buoyant peak]

At that point of the game yes

[steep tusk]

Use a cart.
On a mountain.

😂

[frosty frost]

Well if you put only one there then it would not be too bad, even 2 would work quite well and at that point you dont even need the trolls endurance 🙂

[willow jungle]

What do I need to do to make them eat? They can;t find the food somehow, while it's directly underneath their noses. It already worked once, but I can't seem to get them eat consistently. I made a wall to throw the berries at.

On the video I saw, the guy was throwing the berries in front of the iron wall, but that doesn't work at all.

[frosty frost]

Try to give them more space, if they have trouble pathfinding they will not eat

[willow jungle]

Won't the eggs stay on the ledge, instead of drop down, if you give them more space?

The right one is eating btw, by rethrowing the berries for the 100th time 😂

[frosty frost]

Oh its supposed to be automatic breeder? Then i cant help much, they need to have specific design afaik to work. You can try to make the ceiling above them a bit higher maybe, i know loxes have often trouble with that

[willow jungle]

Yeah, automatic one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqrLYc4DrkA

[vocal plinth]

Any suggestions for the upper floor walls?

[tough hare]

Wait until you got Grausten and use that?

[vocal plinth]

isnt that from ashlands, i dont think i will even make it there

[willow jungle]

Yes

[shell coral]

can i tp wof in portals?

[true steeple]

Only players can use portals

[shell coral]

oh..

[tough hare]

Depends if you take things a bit more slow and defeat the bosses in the right order.
Mistlands is the first real hard biome, but if you use the lessons you learned from previous biomes you will be able to conquer it.
Same goes for Ashlands.

Besides, Grausten is so easy to gather, you don't even have to stay that long over there if you don't want to.

[vocal plinth]

Why do you say that mistlands will be harder

[tranquil hawk]

what are the forts gonna be called

[vocal plinth]

idk

[frosty frost]

Turn off everything exept charred fortresses

[tired root]

Hostile Settlements

[tranquil hawk]

YESSS I LOVE U

[tough hare]

Because your field of view will be a lot less. Especially compared to the plains.
The terrain will be harder to move through, more like the mountains, except much closer together.
There will be a big monster in the sky, using a napalm strike, while at the same time also launching small and very annoying health draining monsters.
Then there's big bugs, of which some are able to kill you with one - two hits.

The good thing:

You will encounter Dverger every once in a while and they will be able to help you if you play things nice.
But they also have a very useful - or even important - device and the only way to get it is to be cheesy or to piss them off and fight them.

[tired root]

You're welcome, but take it easy

[vocal plinth]

Do i get magical items in mistlands?

I have seen some shield staff somewhere and i lowkey want it

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[vocal plinth]

Mmm

I have sailed once next to mistlands and for a minute i didn't see anything in the mist and hit a tall rock, so i turned back and dipped, but i thought it was just like fog not an everlasting mist?

[steep tusk]

Everlasting unless removed via mods/devcommands.

Yagluth gives you ways to deal with it though.

[shell coral]

I am stuck, greydwarf probably destroyed crafting table outside. How do i get out

[true steeple]

Use your axe to break a wall

Then use it to break the greydwarf

[steep tusk]

Then build a workbench inside.

[shell coral]

😂

[vague goblet]

Do wood iron beams help grausten stability vertically or just horizontally?

[minor ferry]

hey guys its my first time going to Ashlands, was wondering if i am prepared enough for it

[vague goblet]

Looks good to me

You're more prepared than I usually am

[minor ferry]

alright ive got no spoilers apart from hearing the beaches are worse than D-Day

[steep tusk]

Bread is a suboptimal choice, but overall good.

[minor ferry]

so i didnt wanna underdo it

[vague goblet]

That's correct. Get a safe-ish portal up ASAP

[frosty frost]

Might want better stam food but otherwise good

[minor ferry]

yea imma make salads rq

[steep tusk]

Fish'n'Bread ftw.

[minor ferry]

i do feel like im missing a lot of cooking recipes because i didnt bother fishing

[steep tusk]

If you can't make it, Mushroom Omelette is the next down on the list.

[frosty frost]

At least omelets i would say

[minor ferry]

oh yea never got eggs

forgot they got added, ill set up a coop now

[stoic trench]

Is that a black metal shield? Why not carapace? 🤔

[wet knoll]

question, say im out at sea, exploring my map and a serpent comes out of nowhere and starts attacking my boat. can i log out and eventually bypass the serpent killing my boat? cause its at like 20%

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[ebon marsh]

youre better off going mid-fullspeed and arrow it to death, do you have ranged weaponry or atleast a harpoon to drag it to shore?

[stoic trench]

You should be able to outrun the serpent though

[wet knoll]

i couldnt outrun it, thats how im in this mess, lol and im in the middle of the ocean with no immediate land around me

[steep tusk]

This is one of those Valheim "so what did we learn?" moments unfortunately.

[wet knoll]

yeah ig so, i mean i have a bow and fire arrows and i got him down to like half hp before logging out. cause i knew hed destroy my boat before i kill him lol

kinda just like, WELP im dead

[steep tusk]

Fire Arrows?

[wet knoll]

i have flinthead arrows too but i still wasnt able to kill him, im also on a server with my buds so could one of them possibly log on and trigger the serpent again? or would a player have to be in the area for the serpent to load in?

idek at this point, i dont have much playtime, but id say like a few days ive been playing w them

[steep tusk]

Fire Arrows are not good in almost any context, just fyi.

[wet knoll]

feel like i Fd myself in that sitch

[wet knoll]

duly noted

[steep tusk]

Conversely, Frost Arrow is the best in the game...

[wet knoll]

i havent beat the elder yet, so im slowly gearing up

[minor ferry]

i ran out of Eitr and soft tissue is hard to come by atm

[shell coral]

200 fire arrows enough for elder?

[steep tusk]

0 Fire Arrows is enough for Elder 🤷‍♂️

[wet knoll]

this man really hates fire arrows lol

[steep tusk]

Elder dies faster in melee by a significant margin of time.

If you really have a hard for fire damage, you can kill him with 8 torches.

[shell coral]

ffs

[minor ferry]

its because you didnt use enough fire arrows

[shell coral]

i used fire arrows

[steep tusk]

🙃

[shell coral]

does boss despawn?

[steep tusk]

No.

[minor ferry]

it might heal up slightly but nothing you cant kill with enough fire arrows

[true steeple]

There’s nothing you can’t kill more easily with almost anything else available at the same point in progression

[minor ferry]

yea im poking fun at the guy that really dislikes fire arrows

[steep tusk]

Who is that?

[shell coral]

defeated him with mace

[winged solstice]

when ranged combat doesn't work, bring out the trusty mallet

[clear pelican]

does anyone know a good way to farm ancient seeds?

[winged solstice]

find a greydwarf nest and farm the spawning greydwarves. i think that's the best way

[tough hare]

Turn the drop modifiers up to max, destroy a Greydwarf nest and you should have enough to summon The Elder.

[clear pelican]

yeah i dont need to summon the elder i just need the seeds for modded armor set but i think ill just go looking for a nest

[tranquil hawk]

can i cross lava if i spam jump with my pot resistance/

[steep tusk]

Try it and find out 😏

[winged solstice]

no. fire resist will help with the dot but last i heard lava bypasses the fire resist pot. jumping might spare you a sec or two, maybe more if you have the feather cape (and maybe that new slow fall potion? haven't played since the bog witch). i remember the blood shield also could absorb some hits, though it'd probably break in a second. try finding elevation and go ham

[true steeple]

Flametal armor has heat resistance which increases the delay before lava and boiling water will damage you

[tranquil hawk]

i just wanna jump over a small lava gap

[winged solstice]

how strong is the lingering meads? like for stamina i can imagine the lingering being pretty good, though i can't imagine it being that strong for health, and eitr is more neutral?

[steep tusk]

Lingering Stamina is good.
Lingering Health sucks.

[winged solstice]

what's ur thought on eitr?

[steep tusk]

I'm a muggle.

[winged solstice]

not sure what a muggle is

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️ Read one of the highest grossing book series of all time.

It means no magic.

[nocturne dagger]

Hey fellas. If I leave my lox behind a teleporter far far away from where my character is, will it fight other creatures/other creatures will fight it?

[steep tusk]

Given all of that part of the world hits the pause button as soon as you're far enough away, how would anything fight anything when time isn't moving?

[tough hare]

A muggle is a being that's usually doing a struggle

[nocturne dagger]

I actually didnt know that!

[steep tusk]

👍

[nocturne dagger]

Whats the range?

[steep tusk]

🤷‍♂️

[nocturne dagger]

Ok, what's your best estimate xD 100m? 500m?

[steep tusk]

Best estimate would be the phrase "out of sight, out of mind."

World generator tracks things in a 300m radius whether spawned or not though iirc.

[shell coral]

anyway to save myself?

[frosty frost]

Full speed and shoot back is your best bet, nothing much you can do if you want to save ship

[shell coral]

how do i save myself

i am pretty sure boat is gonna collapse second after i continue

[frosty frost]

If you loose ship there is really no hope or you, so it should take priority

[shell coral]

i am full sail wind exactly behind me , but for some reason he's able to catchup

does my items sink or float if i die?

[subtle parrot]

Your nails will sink, your cargo will float in crates

[frosty frost]

Oh they float, you dont have to worry about that, but some ship materials will sink

[shell coral]

😭

cant believe i got back alive

what is strong against serpent?

[frosty frost]

Frost dmg

They are weak to it, and they take normal dmg from Blunt, Slash, Pierce and Lightning

[shell coral]

I repaired my karve should i go for round 2? i have arrows

[frosty frost]

Sure 🙂 the meat is great food

[shell coral]

i see

[safe prism]

hello guys someone use the commands for build here ?

[ripe bone]

wat

[frosty frost]

For sure some people, what do you need helping with?

[safe prism]

make admin my friend in the server and build with him but i can make him admin

[frosty frost]

Unfortunately only host can use commands on server, you can make him admin but that will enable him to use only commands like ban and kick

[safe prism]

dem thats not cool thanks for help friend

[subtle parrot]

Alternatively you could turn on no build cost in the world modifier menu and then you only need to place down the appropriate workbenches
@safe prism

[safe prism]

ok im going do that

[frosty frost]

You still have to unlock things normally with the modifiers tho, so you might need to drop them materials you want to build from first 🙂

[zealous mica]

Do ballista with a charred trophy target all charred targets?

[frosty frost]

Only the mob the trophy belongs to

[true steeple]

Different charred enemies have different trophies

[zealous mica]

So I'll need different ones for marksmen vs charred warriors? Christ that's bleak

[frosty frost]

Yep, thats how they always worked

[true steeple]

If you don’t put a trophy in, it will target everything

[frosty frost]

Even you tho 😄

[zealous mica]

Lol yea. Seems like more of a novelty than a functional defense item. To the nexus I go to cure my woes

[true steeple]

The best defence is always your own weapons

[compact heath]

I love the chaos of this

[lilac coyote]

Not even a good mod source?

And no, the ballista is very useful.

[zealous mica]

Bros a hater

[lilac coyote]

No, I just know that Thunderstore is far superior and where most Valheim mod creators post to these days.

[zealous mica]

I used it a little over a year ago. More or less the same honestly.

[tranquil hawk]

how do i use the battering ram? on mouse and keyboard

[frosty frost]

You put fuel in it and then pull it like a cart 🙂

[tranquil hawk]

big decision to make

[frosty frost]

I personally would take Nidhogg 🙂 (i absolutely detest the knockback of maces xD)

[tranquil hawk]

i fucked with maces since the beginning ngl

also when two handing wepaons, does the blocking stuff add up?

like mace and shield

[true steeple]

Only the shield will be used for blocking calculations

[frosty frost]

I just dont like that i cant immediately continue hitting the enemy and have to run after him when he flies away, tho the knockback might be good to handle crowds in ashlands

[true steeple]

I never notice this when using maces

[tranquil hawk]

what do yall prefer against warriors and morgens then, weapon wise

[frosty frost]

I vividly remember how annoyed i was when it happened for like 7th time in a row, i still continued my mace playthrough but i dont make them anymore

I dont think it matters much for morgens, as for warriors... i just like swords, but the mace will work well too 🙂

[true steeple]

An iolite nidhogg or slayer works well

Jade weapons can be useful too, but they never work when I need them to 🎰

[steep tusk]

Axes.

[agile rapids]

In my limited experience in the post PTB Ashlands, I think that swords are better than maces because they let you run up to and absolutley annihilate any foes, then do a quick 180 to see what enemies you attracted, and kill them before they get to group up

[shadow stag]

If i clear a tar pit, can i raise the ground from the displaced terrain and cover it up so it looks like nothing ever happened?

[frosty frost]

I do believe you can

[shadow stag]

is it seamless?

[frosty frost]

never tried it myself so not 100% sure

[shadow stag]

is there proof of concept?

[frosty frost]

Well, did you fill any other holes?

[shadow stag]

no?

[ebon marsh]

Berserkir axes infused with lightning absolutely disintegrate them, I’ve had morgen get stun locked from the combos and lightning damage and die in mere seconds

They’ve replaced my himminafl as my main source of lightning damage and clearing mobs of enemies

You do have to play pretty risky to get the most out of them though, there’s some combos where you are able to just about get enemies before they manage to attack you

[frosty frost]

You just need hoe, cultivator and lot of stone 🙂

[reef topaz]

has anyone ever had a bunch of greydwarfs spawn in 1,000s when fighting the elder

i just had that happen then had trolls spawn in after in 100s

[frosty frost]

Are you using any mods?

[reef topaz]

no vanilla

https://www.twitch.tv/twixy/clip/GeniusDistinctReubenDxCat-VSIe0F_-0kIodP8K

i have a clip

[frosty frost]

I just saw the convo in valheim chat, i completly agree with what Afrayedknot said, this is not possible in vanilla without commands.

[reef topaz]

yea thats why it was so weird because the other 2 people im playing with are new

[summer viper]

they do move in herds

[tired root]

In my experience, it is possible. How do I know: I once got knocked by a Fallen Valkyrie in lava for some distance and with quick jump spamming and keeping sprinting I survived the encounter. It was one of those tedious moments since it almost ended my deathless run.
Fire resistance won't help against the heat damage lava deals tho.

[frail cave]

hey is there a chance a mod or setting coud bug out a modur
im tried figthing the boss but compard too the ohters its night and day bonmass coudnt even kill me i literly coud face tank him modur 2 shots me
also i do 0 damge too the boss i shot like 40 arrows and barly did 5% of healt mele isnt much better
and last why are there so many stone golems in my 6 minuts fighting him 2 spawnd?

im so confused

as it stands right now i coudnt even kill him using only ranged as my weapon woud break before it kills him

[tired root]

Before anything else, what is your gear and food combo against her (Moder means literally "mother" in English so it's her)?

Her AI is somewhat funky even without mods, but https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 is the channel you can ask around if you suspect a mod issue.

[frail cave]

silver gear shield silver weapons so as good as i can make food eyecream sausage and moudy soup or how its calld so all very good food stuff also using healing potions
so it shoudnt be my gear tbh

[tired root]

Sometimes it's also bad luck with those other enemies spawning during the boss fight, but spawnproofing the area beforehand could help for that.

[frail cave]

i did kill everthing before the figt started tahts why these 2 stone golesm suprised me so much

[tired root]

Which attack almost two shot you? Icy projectiles while in air?

[frail cave]

ice projectiles do like 70% of my healt on avarge
mele does 45/55% ish of my healt

but damage taking isnt taht much of problem

my damge is the problem my ranged weapon woudt even get 1/4 of her healt before breaking

so i woud have too do most in mele and my mele weapon also does nothing against here

[tired root]

Her icy attack from the air can be devastating. Dodging her melee attacks should be easy enough to avoid all damage if you are confident with your dodging. Your shield should be enough even blocking her melee attacks.

By the "moudy soup" as your one food which one do you mean? HP or stamina? Wolf skewer is also good HP food if you don't have Serpent stew. I prefer using 2 HP 1 Stam food combo against bosses.

However, if you play with mods, you could either try disabling them to see if the fight is as hard as with them or ask around https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 if someone else have had same issue.

[frail cave]

well my mods dont touch monsters tahts why im so confused
i just donnu the boss fights dificulty feels so out of place random

the game so far was never hard at all even the mountain biome was easy
but now the modur boss is almost imposible

[tired root]

Some mods can have some unpredictable issues. So I suggest you try the fight without mods to see if it's as hard as with them.

[noble tapir]

can you get rancid remains spawning from the bone pile?

[steep tusk]

To my knowledge, no.
Rancid is a crypt spawn, not a bone pile spawn.
Also can occur during the Skeleton Surprise raid.

[noble tapir]

yeesh, trying to get a trophy out of one of those guys is rough

thanks for answering, i guess i'll keep chamber hunting

[steep tusk]

Originally, the Dead Raiser magic required a Rancid trophy to craft.

[noble tapir]

yah, i just want it for deco

[steep tusk]

Better times 😭

[loud rapids]

anybody good with stabilizing builds here?

[noble tapir]

i made my dead raiser before they changed it, i swear i used to see more of the rancids around

[loud rapids]

This is essentially the structure of my tower. It reaches up to the very limit of the iron wood poles. When I edit the terrain near the base, even as far back as the water here, most of the roof collapses. It doesn't matter if I'm raising or lowering the ground. What could possible cause this?

I've been trying to fix this for ages

The stability of the structure also doesn't change, but the roof collapses anyways

[lavish flame]

I would make just as many contentions as possible triangles squares ex's that it might look messy but if u do it right you get something nice

Where ever there can be a contention content if there isn't make one

@loud rapids

[frail cave]

quick question for leveling skills how do i lvl block bows fast are there any rules tricks?

[lavish flame]

For shields use tower with a group of weak enemies like skeletons

[tired root]

Also Brenna raid with stars @noble tapir

[frail cave]

so waht exactly triggers/determinds the exp the amount of damge blockd the amount of enemys the stamina used? the damge negated / the damge recivd ?

[true steeple]

You earn the same xp for any attack blocked. You get a bit more for parrying, but that will slow down the rate of enemy attacks and costs a lot of stamina so you'll need to wait for it to regenerate.
The same applies to bows, so fast shots that are charged less will get more xp than fully charging every shot

[frail cave]

and the crosbow as its a fixd atack speed ?

[true steeple]

I find that the best way to level skills is to let them increase natrually as you progress through the game. You should never have to go out of your way to grind them

[tired root]

Well, crossbow levels up so much slower and gets less xp per hit than bow, which seems silly. But I take that frustration out by naturally killing as many greydwarves as possible in secluded spawner from my hunting tower.

[frail cave]

it just feels weard as therse a huge difrents in lvl of skills

my blocking is super low and crosbow my mace is running is high my cocking is extreme low swimming is barly lvld

[tired root]

It's possible that the leveling system would get some tuning in/after 1.0 patch.

But crossbow has some advantages over bow - it is ready to use when loaded so great for initiate combat, it's much more accurate and damage per shot is higher (added with initiating with backstab damage can deal devastating damage).

[loud rapids]

alright thanks I'll try that

[polar musk]

when deep north will be released there will be a wipe or it will work as usual?

[buoyant peak]

Wipe of what?

[frosty frost]

Its prrimarly a singleplayer game, why would there be a wipe?

[thorn spire]

As the others have said, there won't be a wipe like in MP games, however any explored deep north biomes won't load properly with the new content. You'll be fine if you've stayed away from that area.

[zealous ginkgo]

Where's the best place to get feathers in the Meadows?
