valheim-help

[short cosmos]

for looks?

[frosty frost]

Ok, if you dm me the join info i can go 🙂

[little trench]

oh for looks hmm

for looks mistlands has to be 1

[echo sparrow]

all of this is accurate OTHER than that I do think it's actually great looking--it NAILS the atmosphere of 'you're in hell' (not traditionally beautiful, but climbing up on top of one of those arches, looking out over the lava fields and hazy smoke, and all the ruins, or the blood sea with spires rising out...there's a certain version of 'beauty' there)
abandon all hope, etc etc etc

[little trench]

almost agree, but black forest needs to be higher and mountain need to be like bottom

[echo sparrow]

meadows at the bottom

and even the meadows is atmospheric and appealing, very peaceful

[little trench]

naaah it does a rly good job as a starting zone

[echo sparrow]

oh hell ya it does, but if we're judging purely by the aesthetic 'wow'

[little trench]

no we're talking about content, not looks

[echo sparrow]

oh well, then that's an entirely different thing lol

Mistlands > Ashlands > ( Swamp > Forest not quite sure about the order of these 2) > Meadows > Plains > Mountain > Ocean
in terms of content

[little trench]

plains need to be higher

[echo sparrow]

and Ocean just 'defaults' by not being a full biome really lol

[echo sparrow]

i could see it higher than meadows maybe, but swamp and forest seem so full and polished to me--not that plains ISN'T

[little trench]

combatwise its better than ashlands. there i said it

[echo sparrow]

it's hard honestly lol, I find them all very well done, mountain probs the 'fastest/shortest' because you can skip caves entirely and SURE you forfeit one the best armors in the game but progression-wise 100% optional feature (and possible RNG wise you just miss caves entirely)
and you don't use silver in lots of things

[little trench]

ya mountains is ass

@ebon marsh

[echo sparrow]

better i dunno, ashlands has lots of diversity in enemies and the tactical consideration of various environmental hazards

[short cosmos]

mountains gives the best armor in the game - fenris
and you fight a cool werewolf wizard - Geirhaffa (however u spell his name)

[echo sparrow]

plains has good diversity of enemies and tactics

[short cosmos]

• snowy mountains 🙂

[little trench]

ashlands = fight template skeletons and run around infinite projectiles

plains berserkers more fun than any ashlands mob. there i said it

[ebon marsh]

Mountains have frostner, need I say more

[little trench]

only good thing about mountain are the jumping wolves and they are locked in caves

[regal ocean]

Anyone have any tips for what weapons/equipment to use for the swamp

This poison is kicking my ass

[little trench]

atgeir and stagbreaker for blobs

you keep distance and hit with stagbreaker

[frosty frost]

Poison resist mead 🙂

[little trench]

stagbreaker is enough, it has huge aoe

[regal ocean]

Ok thanks

[frosty frost]

Around 2 days iirc, sped up by sleeping

[little trench]

waiting for mead is the worst shit i swear

[frosty frost]

It just 20-25 minutes if you go to sleep as soon as you can 🙂

[echo sparrow]

collect wood--never can have too much wood

Choreheim

[echo sparrow]

what about the valkyries? or the morgen? they're neat

berserkers are a ton of fun, makes you feel like conan squaring off against one

[little trench]

morgen maybe but def not valk

[tired root]

They should have chance to spawn during night time in Plains IMO.

[echo sparrow]

too few berserkers

maybe add a few different comps of possible 'patrols' that can spawn (at night), which include berserkers and shamans in some?

[regal ocean]

Is iron armor worth it?

[steep tusk]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[little trench]

i recommend going for max raw armor if u're new so ya

[steep tusk]

I recommend skipping it entirely.
But it is your decision.

[subtle parrot]

The helmet, at least is worth it imo

[regal ocean]

It’s so expensive

[steep tusk]

Helmet? You mean dverger circlet? 😏

[regal ocean]

60 iron for the whole set sheesh

[steep tusk]

Define expense in a game with infinite resources?

[subtle parrot]

I never use it lol

[frosty frost]

You might be surprised but not that many people actually use it all the time xD

[steep tusk]

Very little surprises me anymore 😄

[frosty frost]

Oh that is only one decent crypts worth 😄

[steep tusk]

Only swamp helmet you can argue to be objectively "worth" is the Root Mask, not Iron.
Because free poison resist.

[regal ocean]

Oh ok that’s good to know. Just mined my first crypt and only got 15 iron

Root mask gives poison res?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[subtle parrot]

I'm not a fan of the root set

[regal ocean]

Clutch

[frosty frost]

Ooof, yeah that is quite unlucky 😄 average is around 40-60 i would say (my personal made up statistic, based solely on my experience 🙂 )

[steep tusk]

As stated I skip swamp armor entirely 🤷‍♂️ So no arguments here.

[regal ocean]

Do you just use troll armor? Bronze?

[frosty frost]

Yep but mead gives better one 🙂

[steep tusk]

On my new seed I actually encounter enough trolls to make Troll armor, so yes.
Previous seed was troll-barren so also yes, I used just Bronze.

[regal ocean]

Do they stack?

[frosty frost]

Nope, greater counts

[steep tusk]

Rag Armor -> Troll/Bronze -> Wolf

[steep tusk]

Yeah but I can't drink it 😭

[frosty frost]

You are playing a very specific ruleset now 😉 that doesent apply to our friend here

[steep tusk]

Whoa. Way too early for me to be applying the "friend" label.
I barely know them.

[regal ocean]

How dare you

I thought what we had was special

[steep tusk]

Favorable acquaintence is your current title. 🙂

[regal ocean]

I’ll take it

[short cosmos]

rag armor > troll > fenris + root harnesk

saves u alot of materials on weapons & upgrades

[echo sparrow]

@steep tusk

[inner elbow]

YESS

it is

[echo sparrow]

in all seriousness, good job--don't let the haters tell you how to play the game with the tools the devs just left lying around for the clever to exploit @frail cave

[frosty frost]

I never said you cant use cheeze tactics 😄 only that they should not be used as a base line to compare stuff to

[steep tusk]

"don't let the haters tell you"

No, let the haters tell you whatever they feel like telling you.
Just don't listen 😄

[true steeple]

It’s capped at 100 damage

[echo sparrow]

it might shock you just how fast I cut that together

[little trench]

finally

[regal ocean]

2 days of fermenting just for poison mead to last 10 min? What a scam

[sturdy folio]

Unless it's specifically for bonemass, you don't really need poison mead anyways

[true steeple]

You get six from each base

[sturdy folio]

even so. 60 minutes (6 x 10 minute meads) is plenty of time

nvm me

60 minutes

[regal ocean]

Oh ok yeah nvm

I thought it would just give 1

[true steeple]

If you need to get mead fast, sleep at noon to skip maximum time

[short cosmos]

for fighting || Queen || as well

[faint shale]

how to cook fish?

[true steeple]

You need to make a food preparation table to turn it into raw fish, which can then be cooked at a cooking station.

[echo sparrow]

they really should just add 'cooking' fish (into raw fish) in the inventory crafting like I saw someone suggest to avoid the situation as is now, where fish is weirdly gated LATER than before

(cuz prep table needs iron while before just needed tin for cauldron)

[faint shale]

can i make any soups with cooked fish?

i dont see any on cauldron

[steep tusk]

No.

[true steeple]

Cooked fish is used to make a health food once you reach plains

[steep tusk]

If only there was in information page on everything it is used in: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Cooked_fish

[thorn spire]

and a feast.

[faint shale]

oh okay. should i replant carrots to grow more or is it better to forage seeds

[thorn spire]

definitely replant.

[lilac coyote]

Farming is definitely going to be more efficient.

[echo sparrow]

usually best IMO to do a few cycles of planting and replanting then you'll have more seeds than you'll ever need

[thorn spire]

you'll need way more carrots than you can find seeds for.

I usually plant/replant until I have a row of 25 seed carrots. That'll produce 75 seeds so 4 rows total gives you a stack of carrots for cooking.

[faint shale]

how long do carrots take to grow?

[thorn spire]

hmm, 3 ingame days AFAIK

[lilac coyote]

2.22-2.78 days.

[true steeple]

Unnecessary random range

[lilac coyote]

Not really. That's how life works.

[thorn spire]

I would say so, unless they weren't healthy. (no sun, roof, too close, etc.)

[desert monolith]

no - sleep at 5:59am to skip maximum time 🙂

[thorn spire]

can't sleep in the morning.

[desert monolith]

6am is morning

[thorn spire]

that won't cycle a full day though. just one minute.

[desert monolith]

incorrect.

[thorn spire]

hmm ok.

[desert monolith]

you start laying on the bed, and as you lay down, the "day 4" appears, but because you started the sleeping animation, it continues, and you wake up on Day 5.

So you skip 30mins instead of 10 mins

Its even listed on the wiki under 'notes' - been known about for a while.

[thorn spire]

I just learned something then.

[desert monolith]

you gotta time it to within a few seconds. If you sleep too early, you'll just wake up a few minutes later like you said. Time it too late, and its morning, and you cant sleep.

About a 8 second window to do it. Easy to time though (its exactly +30mins from when you saw the previous day alert)

[shadow dawn]

Hey so I made a server and wanted to know if there is a way for me to get notifications on my phone(or emails) for when my server goes down/crashes so that I can notify the members of that server about the crash, anyone know about a way?

[steep tusk]

That would entirely be up to company you rented your server from if they have such capability.

[shadow dawn]

I run my own server

From an old laptop I have no use for

[steep tusk]

Then your only option is to see if someone has a third-party program written you can install to give you that functionality.

[shadow dawn]

That's what I'm asking about

[steep tusk]

That wouldn't be a Valheim question.
Because such a software would work for all servers you could host from the laptop.

[shadow dawn]

But it is a valheim question because it is for a valheim server and someone in here who runs a valheim server may be able to answer that question

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️ You will have more luck in #dedicated-server

[shadow dawn]

Now that is a channel I hadn't seen

[lilac coyote]

One portal is enough, surely. That's a ridiculous waste of effort.

As long as you build it outside of his arena you should be fine.

[regal ocean]

I am not a fan of the swamp lol

Swamp

[ripe bone]

its bad

[regal ocean]

Just not the easiest place to traverse through😂

[steep tusk]

Oh you sweet summer gamer...

You have no idea what is coming.
And Swamp allowing you to just... walk, is very easy to traverse.
Very.

[ripe bone]

its wet, i still hate it sev.

[steep tusk]

If I wanted to mention by name, I would have done so.

[regal ocean]

Well compared to the meadows and the forest it is definitely not easy

I shall adapt though

[steep tusk]

+1 to reasons I play solo 😄

[ripe bone]

every additional person is another person that can ruin everything

thats fine

[regal ocean]

Does the swamp key have infinite uses?

[lilac coyote]

Yep, it doesn't get used up.

[regal ocean]

Sick

[steep tusk]

Nasty.

[regal ocean]

Noooo

Accidentally let my 2 star boars die

[ruby comet]

is there no way to farm yggdrasil wood? they drop no seeds

[stoic trench]

Nope, have to just go out and find the trees. Similar to ancient bark.

[steady seal]

Is it possible to completely spawnproof large areas with workbenches?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[steady seal]

It is something I should be doing?

[steep tusk]

You are the sole person who can answer "Should" questions regarding your world.

[steady seal]

oh right

May as well secure the area around the witch

[cold crater]

3 two-star boars got killed infront of me by a slime or draugr;(

[fierce rose]

hey, is there a way to disable the seasonal lock for building stuff like the christmas items, yuletide pole, etc?

[steel thorn]

do tar pits ever respawn?

[steep tusk]

They do not.

But the growths will continue to spawn from them even after they are drained.

[steel thorn]

the crazy hostile slimes are the growths right?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[cold crater]

Is there a way to stop wodden objects getting to half health from weather without the need for roofs?

[steep tusk]

What biome have you progressed to?

[cold crater]

Plains, but i mean the first build pieces you have from normal wood, we build some details around the house out of these and it looks great as long as its not low health

[steep tusk]

What kind of detail pieces?
Like I don't imagine you're building roof-less walls, no?

Plains + Tar gives you access to Darkwood. Beams and accents that are immune to rain.

Mistlands will give you Black Marble 🥵 and some more metal/copper accents to play with.
Ashlands will give you an entirely new suite of wood-based pieces to play with as well.

So I wouldn't fret about looks atm until you have all your options available to you.

But for basic wood walls/floors -> You have to have them covered or they take damage from rain.

[lilac coyote]

No, but you could always spawn them in or maybe even adjust your system clock.

[tired root]

Only one, but you need to defeat ||the sixth boss|| before getting access to that. It is ||the shield generator||.

[cold crater]

Ah good to know ty
What biome is that again?

[tired root]

6th is Mistlands.

[cold crater]

Ah thank you

[tired root]

The item I mentioned is used in 7th biome against the hostile environment, but it also keeps rain away when built in other biomes.

[cold crater]

How does that work?
Is it absolutely immune or does it have a health that slowly goes down?

[tired root]

Basically you ||put fuel in it and refuel from time to time, similar to campfire||. It also ||protects from projectiles the enemy mobs shoot, which drains the fuel a bit more||. But note that it doesn't prevent enemies to enter inside, so walls are recommendable.

[candid lynx]

im preparing to go for mage build while my other two friends will melee and stuff for the queen fight. my elemental magic is around 40 blood magic is 20 so is it worth having the dead raiser or just stick to elemental stuff and bubble shield

[cedar lodge]

doing about the same thing, with about the same stats (50 15), very interested too

[true steeple]

It’s worth having the dead raider but don’t make the mistake I made by focusing too much on spawning and shielding skeletons. You need eitr to defend yourself, too.

[candid lynx]

is the frost staff viable? i used it for lvling up but idk about how well it would be against the boss

[steady seal]

Is it a viable strat early game to farm gold coins by killing trolls using the love potion?

[cedar lodge]

if you stick near center of map yes, otherwise starred troll will spawn, "starred trolls" and "early game" sound not so "viable" to me. Also for getting a good upgraded troll set fast, THAT'S viable

[lilac coyote]

Don't forget the starred trolls you can get right from the centre.

[cedar lodge]

i thought stars on trolls were hard locked by distance from center, even with love potion, if i'm wrong very good to know

[lilac coyote]

Zone spawns, yes, but you can get troll cave spawns that are starred before that.

[cedar lodge]

oh ok good to know, did a lot of troll hunting but never saw one

so now i'm in doubt for the love potions, it affects troll raids wich usually don't spawn starred, are we sure it doesn't affect zone spawns within 2000m from center?

[true steeple]

It does not affect zone spawns too close to the centre

[lilac coyote]

So it definitely obeys the 2000m limit? Good to know (and going in the Wiki)

[steady seal]

Woah, how hard are starred trolls? Just swinging an atgeir won't cut it?

[subtle parrot]

Use a bow and arrows if you can't manage it with an atgeir

[steady seal]

Is the parry time a lot shorter

[steep tusk]

Parry time is the same.
Damage is just higher so you need a larger HP pool to succeed at parrying.

[steady seal]

Ah ok

[umbral sandal]

whats the best enchantment for ripper

[cedar lodge]

1 stars roughly has double HP and 150% damage
2 stars triple HP and double damage

[tired root]

That depends. Both Root and Storm versions effects proc slower because of how slower crossbow is compared to bow, but lightning effect adds more damage on average. Bleeding can be good if you utilise HP loss by using shield staff or jumping from higher to lose HP.

[umbral sandal]

so overall lightning is better for damage?

[tired root]

Lightning is good because the lightning can chain by other enemies too. Root and Blood are more beneficial for single targets on ranged weapons.

[subtle parrot]

A sneak shot with blood and lowered hp is probably the best damage

[umbral sandal]

i see.. thanks guys

[faint osprey]

id say root is best because when you root (stun) a mob they cant move or turn meaning you can run behind them and and kill it with a melee weapon works great against morgen

[umbral sandal]

oh wow thats a pretty good strat

[tired root]

Root is definitely good, but IMO not as good for Ripper, which is crossbow.

[faint osprey]

ye i use root on my duel axes and bow

[faint osprey]

ye maybe root works better with a bow

[tired root]

Root Fang is definitely good. I also adore Klossen (my beloved) and Primal axes.

[faint osprey]

primal is the jade upgrade so i did mix them up

[willow raft]

Also knocks them back, spawning a few roots around you will keep you quite safe.

[zealous tendon]

Best way to find Haldor? Cuz damn, i've found bog witch, i found Hildir too, but not Haldor

[lilac coyote]

Same way as the others, just in Black Forest.

[zealous tendon]

I do remember i heard that he spawns around 1500 meters away from the world centre or something

[lilac coyote]

Indeed.

Well, as a minimum.

[frosty frost]

Just sailing around islands with black forest, and from personal experience you can often find him while looking around elder (but there is no rule that would make it more likely than not, as i said just personal experience 🙂 )

[zealous tendon]

I mean, im already at mountain stage of the game, and still cant find his dvergr ass

[frosty frost]

OH, thats really unlucky.

[zealous tendon]

Aight, i checked valheim seed checker, cuz i dont want to lose my whole day to find this fella, and all of the spawn points are at the ends of the world, what the fuck is my luck to have such crazy seed

[frosty frost]

Just curious, what is the seed? 😄

[agile rapids]

Lol, I had the same thing for yagluth, who always spawned further away than the mistlands

[pliant briar]

do i need whole fenris set or do the chest will be enough to keep me warm

[frosty frost]

The chest piece is enough 🙂

[willow raft]

Chest piece or wolf cape is enough but the whole set makes you zoom though.

[nocturne dagger]

Hey fellas. I have 4 loxes in such an enclosure. I feed them but they stopped breeding. What am I doing wrong?

[frosty frost]

Enclosure is too small 🙂

[nocturne dagger]

How much should I extend it?

[frosty frost]

At least double it i would say

[nocturne dagger]

Dayum! Back to work then!

Thank you very much 🙂

[frosty frost]

Well depends on how many loxes you want 🙂

[nocturne dagger]

The answer to how many is yes xD

[frosty frost]

Then answer on how much you should extend is the same xD

[tired root]

Just note that Loxen will damage those stone walls with their movement towards them.

Nah, they are just big and clumsy.

[heady folio]

hello, just simple newbie question forest is moving event spawns only mobs from actual; biome?

[frosty frost]

Forest is moving spawns greydwarves 🙂 each event spawns different enemies

[tired root]

Forest is moving is Black forest boss "army" event which gets disabled when you defeat the 2nd boss, which also unlocks the third army event.

[buoyant peak]

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

[frosty frost]

Wiki is very helpfull, but be carefull since it will have spoilers 🙂

[heady folio]

[zealous tendon]

huh wdym

[ancient ravine]

Me and my friends are trying to build a castle but when we get to a certain hight it breaks, we tried adding support but it didnt help and some areas we can build higer than others.

[steep tusk]

? There have always been height limits based on structural stability in this game.

[honest cedar]

Does kicking someone out of my valheim server save their character?

[steep tusk]

Character stats and items are saved on the character, not the server.
So any progress tied to that character won't be affected by you booting them.

[honest cedar]

Okay great, thanks

[echo sparrow]

the differences in max height you're experiencing are most likely coming from either uneven supporting foundation (ground or other objects which provide 'ground like' support being at different heights when you start building off them) or use of materials of different maximum stability (for instance, stone cannot build out as far as wood horizontally, but wood built off stone treats it as "ground" for stability purposes meaning you can build higher with regular wood, or for that matter I think anything else, using a stone foundation than just starting on the regular ground--IIRC core wood also has a higher 'max height' than regular wood, etc.)

if you want the highest possible height, then you need to use iron-wood beams, and also for true max height, raise the terrain under the build as high as possible (there's an limit coded in based upon where it starts) then build a stone foundation on top of that as high as possible before building up with wood-iron support beams you 'scaffold' the whole build off of

i dunno if there's a 'vanilla' setting to turn off building stability if that's what you want, maybe devcommands, and failing that maybe mods--but short of effectively just removing the stability system you will by design always run into a maximum limit how far vertical or horizontal you can build out from "ground" support before stuff starts breaking

[forest shadow]

Lingering health? Anyone? Thoughts?

[frosty frost]

I think it increases health regen 🙂 and i think its by something between 24% and 26%

[true steeple]

I think major healing meads are better because you’re only getting the healing when you need it. A lot of a lingering healing mead will be wasted unless you’re constantly below full health.

[forest shadow]

Aight thanks

[crystal kiln]

on the other hand boss fights are endurance fights

but for normal mobs i'd also recommend burst healing

[little trench]

any protips to finding turnip fast?

[frigid tendon]

Hi if someone have problem to join private server, like me?
or this is only my problem maybe with Internet, dont know.

[outer gust]

There is meads i can use when i go low heatlh ??

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[outer gust]

WHAT ! how i get it ?

[frosty frost]

Do you have metal yet?

[outer gust]

No

[frosty frost]

Then you have to wait 😄

[outer gust]

Damn:/

[frosty frost]

Dont worry, you will get it in second biome 😉

2 3 types even

[sleek herald]

Not really, they're yellow flower looking things (like the carrot plants, but yellow, not white), and they're....around.

*in Swamp

[sleek herald]

Probably you

maybe the server you're trying to connect to (have a chat with whoever is running it if you can)

Either way it's very unlikely there is a problem that's affecting all servers

[outer gust]

I see , i just got in the game 2 days ago , i have a lot to explore yet

[frosty frost]

Indeed 😄 It is not strange for people to dump hundreds or even thousands of hours, you have a LOT of fun in front of you

[crystal kiln]

anything beyond 200 hours is fairly rare
steam average is even lower

you are on a discord dedicated to the game
people here have giga inflated playtimes relatively to the rest of the playerbase

[steep tusk]

People who have discontinued playing don't count as part of the playerbase 😉

[frosty frost]

I also have quite a few friends who play/ed outside of this server 😉 most of them have more than 200 and 300+ is also not rare to see 🙂 but yeah, it might be a bit confirmation bias.

Tho i will stay behind the wording "not strange", as it is not mutually exclusive with rare 😄

[frosty frost]

Well i agree if you mean players who discontinued playing without properly giving the game a chance 🙂

[crystal kiln]

he didnt

[cyan moth]

Hi guys,
Can i join someones server and take a turnip Seed

[frosty frost]

You can just spawn them in using commands 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Those are two very different things.

[echo sparrow]

this certainly would be much simpler and faster--is devcommands available on console, or would console players in fact be limited to the method OP described to obtain any items outside the 'legit/intended' way?

[frosty frost]

Yeah, thats just what i thought about first, then i realized it also include people who just stoped after one playthrough and have 60-100 hours 🙂

[frosty frost]

It is available on console 🙂

[little trench]

i think trading would be an OK non-cheating method. like u join some1s server and maybe trade finewood for turnip seeds

[crystal kiln]

one playtrough is plenty

[echo sparrow]

trading hub servers

[echo sparrow]

that's good

[frosty frost]

Indeed, but as i said, i didnt realize at first Sevs statement also included those 🙂

[sleek herald]

Universal Valheim economy eh?

Problem is.....nothing stops the other guy from using commands

[little trench]

yea would be based on honor system or whatever

[frosty frost]

For sure, but how do you know that person didnt spawn them in 🙂

Yeah, would have to be honor system

[crystal kiln]

eh, wood declines in value as you progress

[frosty frost]

Iron then 😄

[echo sparrow]

on the other hand, wood remains one of if not the most utilized items in game

[lilac coyote]

Oh, it's fine. Just utterly unnecessary

[little trench]

ya sure but like rn i rly need finewood and dont wanna farm it

[crystal kiln]

iron stands eternal

[steep tusk]

The cheese stands alone.

[echo sparrow]

finewood specifically is more annoying (than regular wood) because you have to specifically seek out either oaks or birches, and blessing/curse of a bunch of wood you don't need in the process, meaning either you waste it, you stack it and leave it, or you make extra early trips due to encumberance with a resource you aren't REALLY intended to farm

and if you use a lot of portals you DO have a decent amount of continual demand for finewood

[sleek herald]

I wonder, if somebody harvested an ENTIRE world, what it would amount to

Every tree, every bush, every ore deposit

[lilac coyote]

Infinite. If they farmed.

[frosty frost]

I know that precisely! It would be ||A LOT||

[steep tusk]

Need the Stardew Valley Lumberjack perk to give all trees a chance to drop Finewood 😏

[echo sparrow]

just make it a full on RPG

[drowsy crane]

Stardew Valheim Mod when?

[lilac coyote]

#mods-discussion

[frosty frost]

Never 🙂

[drowsy crane]

Just a play on words mate

[lilac coyote]

That's...not how that works, but fair enough.

[tired root]

Starheim or Valdew?

[drowsy crane]

Starheim sounds really good unironically

[frail cave]

would buy day 1

[steep tusk]

Mods 🤢

[echo sparrow]

starheim sounds like some sort of wild sci-fi sequel

[drowsy crane]

Mods are icky ngl

[sleek herald]

Have you...ever installed any?

[drowsy crane]

No I only play vanilla

Helps provide better feedback during early access

[sleek herald]

It's like extended devcommands, you get to chose what you want your game to be, and its up to you not to ruin it for yourself

[lilac coyote]

Devcommands are to help us test the game and fix issues.

[drowsy crane]

Devcommands are for the weak (jk play how you like)

[real bear]

i just use devcommands to like speed stuff up sometimes and just some like non important stuff

like timescale for like long smelting time

[short cosmos]

yea thats a good use for them

[real bear]

and sometimes freefly for like pictures of stuff

[sleek herald]

uh oh, the greydwarves got a hold of a spaceship....

[drowsy crane]

There's so much to do I couldn't imagine speeding things up, just breed/slaughter farm tames or do some gardening while things smelt 😅

[real bear]

yeah, i dont have much to fill my time with while smelting so

[drowsy crane]

Fair, I wear too many hats in my solo playthrough

[real bear]

i also do it to walk all the way to spawn sometimes, cause i have a giant cliff to climb up lmao

just saves time on the walk sometimes when it gets tedious

[echo sparrow]

would a world modifier slider that affects all those things dependent upon internal world time (except, perhaps, day night cycle which could be its own slider), basically a world modifier to directly modify world speed, be welcome?

or break that crap out of everything?

[frosty frost]

We have a command for that, but it affects literally EVERYTHING

[stoic trench]

Battering ram would be less efficient for what it’s worth 😅

[real bear]

are you saying a timescale slider for modifier?

[tired root]

Do they shoot stones?

[real bear]

they shoot the shaman stink clouds

[sleek herald]

They have troll crewmen that hurl boulders from the side of the ship.

[echo sparrow]

yeah that's precisely the kind of 'unintended breaking'

[real bear]

that just wouldnt work because it speeds your game up, and you with it. it would just be a silly modifier that wouldnt be needed for anything

[echo sparrow]

would probably then need to parse out case by case--because for example similarly I imagine it'd ALSO make fires burn through their fuel way faster

[echo sparrow]

yeah

now if it JUST affected say crop growth, smelt speed, mead brew speed, maybe--to let the people who have less time have a faster game

[real bear]

no, raids will happen anywhere i think where a base is

[real bear]

that would just be probably all different modifiers for speeds

[echo sparrow]

this except most raids have some biomes that they cannot spawn in

[sleek herald]

Resource rate does a pretty good job of speeding up the game in general

[real bear]

oh well, i didnt know that

i wouldnt know, i just build in the meadow

[echo sparrow]

good point, the one thing it doesn't affect is the speed of all these base processing things--it just occurred to me as a possibility because the mention of using devcommads to basically achieve the same effect

[sleek herald]

Got a bat raid in the ashlands once, what a strange thing

[drowsy crane]

Stranger Things vibes

[echo sparrow]

you got a drake raid?

[real bear]

yeah, i feel like people would get mad at people using devcommands in peoples worlds, i just use it for like slight help sometimes

[echo sparrow]

yeah drakes bring freezing weather with them

you must have killed bonemass

and the game has decided 'you're ready for this'

[real bear]

i dont even think that exists

wolf capes dont exist right?, or did i just skip it lmao

[echo sparrow]

you just missed it then

[real bear]

its only the armor

[sleek herald]

Reqs mountain metal

[echo sparrow]

no there's a cape that goes with the armor

[real bear]

silver?, or just something else

[sleek herald]

& Wolf trophy

[echo sparrow]

yeah you mighta just never picked up a trophy

[real bear]

i dont think i got a wolf trophy my whole time lol

i speed thru that biome so, yeah

my quickest biome by far was probably mountain

[echo sparrow]

if it's real annoying you can turn raids off temporarily (or forever, until you decide to turn it back on) using world modifiers before loading world up in the menu

[real bear]

i just on my world made raids happen rarely, i dont want my glorious builds i took like 5 hours on to get destroyed lmao

[echo sparrow]

a good compromise, adding world modifiers one of the greatest value adding decisions they'v emade

[short cosmos]

mountains is one of the most fun biomes imo

[lilac coyote]

The former, probably. The latter, almost certainly not.

[steep tusk]

Continuance should be moved to #mods-discussion , but if current mod manager works fine they have no reason to spend dev time making another one.

[true steeple]

Most drops in Valheim aren't random (which is good, rng sucks). I think necks do this because they're so common.

Fortunately you don't need many. You shouldn't be killing the poor things too often

[frosty frost]

I wouldnt say 70% is exactly low 🤔

[lilac coyote]

It isn't.

[true steeple]

You can find bees in black forest

Stone towers, rarely

[frosty frost]

They can sometimes be in the bigger stone structures 🙂

I personally saw it 2 times i think, it will certainly not be your primary source of bees but its nice to find

[steep tusk]

Too low for all 1 2 things they are used in?

[frosty frost]

2 (or 3 if you count cooked tail)

[steep tusk]

Boar Meat and Deer Meat are both better.
And you should never run HHH.
So no, I don't count cooked tail 😛

[short cosmos]

there's 2 exceptions to running hhh but those are so situational ur better off doing something else

[true steeple]

And those are..?

[tough hare]

#1: when building your 6 story house and you want to balance on the wooden walls....

[short cosmos]

parrying lord reto without getting stunned urself, and getting a 1htk on an enemy using a blood slayer

[tough hare]

#2: when cutting trees and wondering if you're able to split the log using your head.

[steep tusk]

Vomiting Sniper build yes, I can agree to that exception.
But you still wouldn't eat Grilled Neck Tail 😄

[true steeple]

Never eat a neck tail, that means killing a neck first

[short cosmos]

frfr

[steep tusk]

Also Lord Reto cannot be parried unless you lower the difficulty.

[tough hare]

I think the only time I had cooked neck tail, was when I started on a small island with no boars and deer, but plenty of neck, raspberries and one wild bee hive.

[short cosmos]

yes he can, on normal with the best hp foods, carapace buckler and high block skill u can parry him

[true steeple]

He can, thanks to damage variance

Yet another reason to hate it

[steep tusk]

100 block skill, Carapace Buckler
His weakest attack takes 327 HP to parry.
Max Health is 325.
Remember I am the one who wrote the blocking sheet.

[short cosmos]

you may have written it but I have literally parried Reto with that same exact setup, DID NOT DIE, and DID NOT get stunned instead he did

[short cosmos]

I can get u gameplay proof

[true steeple]

Does this consider the damage reduced by rng?

[steep tusk]

Then the attack damage numbers I was provided are incorrect.

I will double-check them tonight.
Thank you for pointing out the error.

[short cosmos]

ok

[steep tusk]

Wonder if they nerfed him with the last Ashlands nerf 🤔

[true steeple]

These are the numbers I've got in my attack sheet, and I made this after bog witch released

[frosty frost]

These are for 0 star Reto 🙂 you need 2 star since thats how he spawns in mysterious location

Sev has the correct ones

[steep tusk]

If he is parryable then they can't be correct.

[true steeple]

With damage variance, creatures deal a minimum of 86.602540378% base damage, so the lowest damage he can deal at two stars is 363.730669588, not 420

[steep tusk]

Wait

[true steeple]

He can be parried if you get the jackpot on a slot machine (not that rare but it's still random)

[steep tusk]

Not only do OUR weapons have random damage values for no fucking reason...
ENEMIES have random fucking damage values too?

[true steeple]

86.602540378 (0.75 ^ 0.5) feels really random but I've done a bunch of testing and looking through game files, it seems to be correct.

[steep tusk]

Why is it random at all???

[subtle parrot]

Because of the universe

[true steeple]

Why does the universe hate us?

[steep tusk]

🤦‍♂️ I will never understand some things.

[subtle parrot]

Only Odin knows

[steep tusk]

Smiffe knows.

[true steeple]

(from Smiffe)

[subtle parrot]

Smiffe is Odin in disguise

[frosty frost]

Numbers seem right, couldnt perfect parry him even with all 3 best hp foods

(trying for last 20 minutes or so)

[true steeple]

His thrust feint has the least damage. Are you also using carapace buckler with high skill?

[frosty frost]

Ah, dont think i adjusted my skill, wait a bit, will try again 😄

But yeah, max carapace buckler 🙂

[true steeple]

Now it’s rng time 🎰 🎰

Any player who isn’t using commands at this point would be gambling their life for something they can do consistently with a staff of protection

[frosty frost]

Ah, i had all at 100 XD

[frosty frost]

Or rolling 🙂 (or jumping?)

[true steeple]

Not for parrying

[tired root]

I've usually thought the "rng" damage as a fact that not all your hits can be equally as hard as sometimes the fatigue affects to our actions and movements.

[frosty frost]

Well, yeah, disregard my comment xD

[echo sparrow]

well look at you with your bad self

[true steeple]

Combat and casino should stay separate

[pearl night]

Any1 got any tips for defeating bone mass

I just can’t seem to do enough damage

[true steeple]

Are you using a mace? He is weak to blunt damage, but resistant to others

[pearl night]

That will be it 😂 been using my level 3 axe

I did not know that thank you

[tired root]

Tip: look at the color of damage numbers so you can tell if the current weapon is effective against the target you're hitting.

Yellow = target is weak or very weak against the damage type
White = target takes normal damage (nor weak neither resistant)
Grey = target is resistant or very resistant against the damage type.

[pearl night]

Wow thank you

[tired root]

So you're going to see yellow damage numbers soon.

[fluid ridge]

I wanted to try using the jotun bane instead the mistwalker that I usually use but the jotun bane seems really underpowered compared to it is there a reason for that?

[true steeple]

It’s mainly because of the way poison works. When you hit an already poisoned enemy, queued damage ticks are lost, instead of added to the new hit like they are with fire and spirit

Also axes just aren’t great weapons, especially on their secondary attack

[fluid ridge]

Thanks!

wait what does it mean to have "queued damge ticks lost"

[true steeple]

The undealt damage from the previous hit never gets applied to the enemy

So if you hit an enemy for 50 poison, wait for it to take 25 damage and hit it again, the other 25 damage is never used

[fluid ridge]

oh

that makes senesce

[twilit wagon]

What are some good mods for a new player

[steep tusk]

None.

[twilit wagon]

I'm not new new but me anf my group what mods

[steep tusk]

Still none.
If you want to ask in #mods-discussion you'll get a different answer.

[short cosmos]

Veinmine is a mod I always wanted but I'm too lazy to figure out how mods work

[loud rapids]

I used thunderstore mod manager and it was pretty easy

[gilded ridge]

Should you stay at Bow or Crossbow?

[short cosmos]

different playstyles, whichever u want really

[meager roost]

anyone know of an issue where u put a chest down. after u cant break it. or access it. how do i fix it?

[short cosmos]

are u in multiplayer or solo?

[meager roost]

multiplayer. suddenly it can be opened now. idk . i got 500 hours on this game and never seen that bug

[short cosmos]

whoever placed that chest, or interacted with it last if they lag that chest will also lag and you won't be able to do anything to it

[steep tusk]

Just spawn it yourself.

That's the thing that is why we don't have public trades or anything of the sort.
No point.
And there would be no way to stop other people from just spawning it to then trade.
So you just spawn it yourself if you don't feel like making it the normal way.

[final canopy]

Best seeds for those who new to the game

[candid lynx]

is spinesnap with silver arrow viable in ashlands or some other combo?

[true steeple]

I think frost arrows will be more effective

The silver sword is a very strong weapon against the charred, better than mistwalker and with less stamina cost

[candid lynx]

damn alr ill let my melee friend know

[drowsy crane]

Silver Arrows are better imo, more enemies in the Ashlands are weak to it, and they're easier to make because you can find Silver in the Ashlands inside the ancient pots scattered everywhere.

[candid lynx]

oh more silver there? nice

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, it's also effective against the Ashlands miniboss & makes forts a bit easier

[tired root]

Both frost and silver arrows are effective, but frost also slows enemies a bit.

[drowsy crane]

The Ashlands miniboss isn't weak to frost, I meant effective as in weak to spirit damage to be clear.

[tired root]

Yeah afaik Reto and warlocks resist frost damage, but other mobs don't. Voltures seem to be weak against it.

I have also tested silver arrows and they indeed seem effective, but the slowness of frost damage is still good.

[drowsy crane]

Also Silver Arrows have double the stagger chance, Frost Arrows have 26 while Silver Arrows have 52. This leads into doing far more damage when landing criticals.

As well as the inherent slowing of staggering an enemy.

[tired root]

Hmm, seems interesting what my bow challenge run will be like when I reach Ashlands, probably I'll utilise both silver and frost arrows. Looking forward to it.

[drowsy crane]

The amount of frost glands and obsidian just isn't worth it for me personally, and I'd much rather use my frost glands for eyescream 😅

[haughty pier]

whats the best armor for swamp?

[tired root]

Going in or progressing?

[haughty pier]

well i have killed eikthyr and elder and started to get a few of iron tier weapons or tools

and also best shield?

[tired root]

Iron armor provides the highest armor rate.

For shield, buckler is the best if you can parry consistently, but banded shield is also good choice for both blocking and parrying.

And banded shield can have different styles.

[haughty pier]

but doesnt iron armor also slow alot?

[true steeple]

-10% with the full set.
If you find the bog witch you can make a mead to increase movespeed

[tired root]

Yes, heavy armors have -5% movement speed per piece except helmets, total of -10%, but it can be manageable.

[haughty pier]

if i find the what-

[tired root]

New trader added last October that can be found in swamps.

[haughty pier]

THERES MANY TRADERS?

[tired root]

Total of 3. One in meadows, one in black forest and one in swamps.

[haughty pier]

im cooked

[tired root]

Not every new players know before hearing from someone or finding them by accident. But I think Hugin (the bird) mentions something about traders found in world.

[haughty pier]

i turned hugin off😁 it got annoying i last played before mistlands and never get further than swamp

[true steeple]

He’s just trying to help

[haughty pier]

should i turn hugin on again?

[frosty frost]

Yes 😄

[tired root]

Well, one of my friends also thought that and was thrilled when the option to turn him off was added.

[true steeple]

You should at least turn him on once you get to biomes you haven’t reached before

[tired root]

It is hugely helpful to have Hugin giving hints at least in first playthroughs.

[haughty pier]

ok goodbye now imma go grind iron

ty

[tired root]

Have a good haul. 👍

[haughty pier]

wait how get rested

nvm i got it

[finite yoke]

Tip for mining iron: You can get the rested buff very quickly even while inside the crypt, just place down a campfire and chill for a bit. You will get a lot more stam and hp regen without almost any extra effort

[orchid matrix]

I am i ready to fight Eikthyr for y'all?

[true steeple]

You should make a shield and maybe upgrade some of your items

[orchid matrix]

how to upgrade?

[true steeple]

At the workbench, there’s a second tab on the crafting menu

[orchid matrix]

and which shield?

[true steeple]

Normal shields are usually better than tower shields

[orchid matrix]

thx

[tired root]

Once you get into Mistlands you can unlock ||circle stairs||.

[cedar lodge]

maybe upgrade bow (i know it will be trash after fine wood), maybe fire arrows, and... no armor?

[orchid matrix]

armor?

i got normal clothes

fire arrows? how do i make all that?

[cedar lodge]

i mean, you can do it, but to be very safe leather armor is better

[orchid matrix]

not sure if i can make it

[cedar lodge]

you have materials for that in your inventory, so maybe you didn't upgrade your workbench, 10 flint is all you need to start

[orchid matrix]

ok

thx

[cedar lodge]

10 flint and 10 wood, build chopping block next to your crafting workbench

[orchid matrix]

got it thx

[cedar lodge]

then a lot more craftables will appear in workbench's menu

[orchid matrix]

that's why

i couldn't see other stuff

[cedar lodge]

yup, me and many of us missed it at the beginning

[orchid matrix]

xd tysm btw

[tired root]

When you get new materials you should check from building menu if there have appeared new crafting bench upgrades.

[cedar lodge]

yuo're very welcome, actually i envy you, i would like to have one of those Men in Black flashy things to start Valheim for the first time again, have lots of fun!

[cedar lodge]

correct, there will be more as you progress

[dusk root]

its been some time since playing valheim;
I have a world i made after ashlands released, do i need to make a new world for the bog witch i just saw? i forgot how valheim worlds work lol

[knotty thunder]

No, as long as there are big chunks of swamp you have not explored, she will spawn in one of those chunks and you can discover her just like normal

[candid lynx]

why is this rock not breaking

[tired root]

Yeah, like Meetroo said, you can find her in unexplored swamp areas.

[wet totem]

lfp, is theres specific chanel for it?

lfp = looking for party, i want to play with another player

[crystal kiln]

#1024264966712340510 @wet totem

[wet totem]

does this game is crosserver? i from SEA, can i play with europe server or anothers?

im new to the game

[crystal kiln]

servers are hosted by players, not the company

(you can play with the euro bros)

[wet totem]

i see, does its free for hosting server?

[candid lynx]

also wth is ashlands there is constant enemy spawns???

[true steeple]

You can host a server yourself for free

[true steeple]

Ashlands intentionally has more enemy spawns than the previous biomes

[crystal kiln]

they are not super constant once you cleared the spawners tho

[candid lynx]

hmm alr

[orchid matrix]

got some new stuff, should i upgrade shield and bow more for Eikthyr?

[cedar lodge]

that's more likely!

[orchid matrix]

to spawn the boss i need 2 deer trophies right?

[cedar lodge]

correct

[orchid matrix]

ok

[orchid matrix]

i'll go for the boss rn ig

[cedar lodge]

yup, good luck, keep an eye on stamina and generally away from the big deer, let us know how it went!

[orchid matrix]

ofc thx for the tips

[jade pasture]

why the wishbone doesnrt work ? i dont see the green lights it supposed to show , i have been to two different mountain biomes

[tired root]

Have you equipped it?

[jade pasture]

i did

[tired root]

You have the icon in corner up?

[jade pasture]

yep

[tired root]

Okay, did you notice drakes or obsidian in those mountains?

[jade pasture]

not really i did find wolves and fenrin

[tired root]

You need to find higher mountains that has obsidian nodes and drake spawns.

Silver is found in higher altitudes.

So those 2 things mentioned tell that the mountain is high enough for possibly locating silver.

[delicate condor]

how do I use ivy seeds?

[tired root]

Plant it next to a wall.

[jade pasture]

okay thnx i know where is a third biome

[delicate condor]

so it requires terrain?
I can't apply it straight to a rooftop?

[tired root]

Yes, it requires cultivated ground and wall next to it. It will grow higher when it attaches to the wall.

[tired root]

4th you mean, which is mountain. Fortunately mountains is easy to spot from distance.

[jade pasture]

no third i said i was in two already

[tired root]

Ah, I got confused with the "third biome", probably you meant third mountain then.

[orchid matrix]

I did it

what should i do now?

[rich fossil]

craft pickaxe go black forest enjoy the spoils

[true steeple]

Bring it to the stones where you spawned

[rich fossil]

yes hang head up on stone shrine at spawn

[delicate condor]

is berserker mead a good idea against Yagluth in full fenris set?
usually I do 1hp + 2stamina food, should I go with 3 hp foods if I use that mead for better chances of surviving?

[orchid matrix]

thx guys

[true steeple]

If you use bonemass power, that overrides the weaknesses

[little trench]

np btw black forest is a fairly big jump in difficulty so be careful

[delicate condor]

lol that's so damn good

[cedar lodge]

yoo well done! now real Valheim starts!

[orchid matrix]

thx, now i'll head to black forest as some guys told me ig

[cedar lodge]

of course! be super aware at start and for now run if you see a big blue thing, it's slower than you

[orchid matrix]

ok thx

[true steeple]

Rolling allows you to negate damage from almost all attacks, which is great for those enemies

[orchid matrix]

Found one already lol, should i kill it with bow?

[little trench]

you can try but it will catch up with you if u dont run

[true steeple]

If you don’t have a spear, then yes. Trolls are one of the few enemies to have a weak spot, their head takes extra damage.

[rich fossil]

i believe

[cedar lodge]

you can, actually you have to learn to do it, good luck!

[rich fossil]

u cna kill it np with bow tbf just look at your stamina bar while kiting it

[cedar lodge]

true

[orchid matrix]

ok thx guys

[delicate condor]

can I use different meads simultaneously?
berserker + ratatosk?

[true steeple]

Yes, drink as many as you need
The only meads you can’t stack are different kinds of healing, stamina or eitr meads.

[delicate condor]

great! thanks

will I find iron in mistlands?
I know there's bronze

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[delicate condor]

how exactly?

[cedar lodge]

flint arrows work a bit better than fire in this case, and try aim for the head

[frosty frost]

Either scrap from the ancient armor or bars from semi destroyed bridges 🙂

[orchid matrix]

I'll get flint arrows than, btw i killed it but i ended fire arrows thx again

[cedar lodge]

you're welcome, check the workbench after collecting the drops, very useful stuffù

[frosty frost]

Later in game you will get dedicated round stairs 😉

[cedar lodge]

yup very messy, i tried to copy the swamp stone tower staircase but i gave up at some point (maybe building-tips channel is better for this but i'm so noob at discord i can't even link it)

[haughty pier]

do i need iron pick for silver?

[cedar lodge]

yup

[haughty pier]

god dang it

[subtle parrot]

Aim towards it's head

[minor bone]

Is there a way to stop pebbles and branches from spawning inside my floor?

[cedar lodge]

uhm i really don't think so unfortunately

[real bear]

what stage in the game are you in? like biome

[minor bone]

I guess I'll have to lower the terrain a bit

[real bear]

just grab them, i dont think they will respawn if the base is over it

yeah you got some length to go till you get the spiral stairs unfortunately

[subtle parrot]

You can use the forcedelete command, you'd have to enable devcommands

[cedar lodge]

maybe you can lower the ground where they spawn so they will still spawn but don't show, but i would'nt do that you may loose building stability if your floor looses it's "grounded" (blue) status

[minor bone]

They do unfortunately, especially when I leave the house for extended periods of time

[real bear]

weird, i never have ran into issues with it

[cedar lodge]

pebbles, mushrooms for sure, maybe even dandelions, i became friends with my bedroom mushroom over time

[real bear]

lmao, maybe my ground is like perfectly low enough for it not to show up

[minor bone]

That's exactly my train of thought, as with the stability I wouldn't worry as my roof relies on outside supporting beams

[real bear]

wait, is it grass or soil? under your base

[cedar lodge]

in that case it should do no damage

[tired root]

Iron and copper. Like probably said above, from ancient weapons and armor and by demolishing black marble structures (like viaducts aka bridges and dvergr towers).

[tough hare]

That won't make a difference. Some items have a fixed spawn point and will show up no matter if the terrain isn't altered, has been leveled / lowered and show as soil or even cultivated.

The only two solutions are either use the force-delete command or to use some poles and a grid of wooden beams (later wood-iron beams or iron grate if you got a stone floor) to carry your floor to make sure the floor is above the spawned items.
Which also means that using a staircase to enter the house will be required. But I doubt that would be much of a problem.

[cedar lodge]

iron rate for ancient armor is about 50/50 with copper (i think) you just need to worry about near patch of plains for black metal (needed) and black forest for tin (somewhat avoidable)

[real bear]

then i just got lucky to not deal with the spawns lol

[haughty pier]

Good enough For bonemass?

ik imma craft it but other loot

i dont have the trophy😔

?

[true steeple]

Don’t worry about the sledge, the mace will work well

[haughty pier]

oh ok

but do i need anything else than poison resistance

[true steeple]

No, but maybe you could upgrade some equipment

Also you could kill a serpent for better health food

[haughty pier]

im scared of serpent

also dont i need to get it next to land?

[true steeple]

Why? They’re balanced to be killed with black forest equipment.

Their meat floats, but their scales sink

[haughty pier]

oh

but i wanna kill it fast as possible😔 so do i need upgrades or better food

[subtle parrot]

Both

[haughty pier]

surely it cant be that hard?

oh btw i have pve one down than normal

[subtle parrot]

If you're on easy, then it should easy to kill anything

[haughty pier]

idk what im on

i turned it down by one

[real bear]

for bonemass you honestly wont be doing any parry/blocking, i almost purely rolled his attacks

just a tip, saw you had a buckler

[haughty pier]

ok

will i be using more melee or bow?

[real bear]

melee, he takes a ton of blunt dmg

[delicate condor]

how do feasts work?
can I eat 3 different kind of feasts?
or 1 feast is a full meal?

[real bear]

he does summoning, so be careful about that, also have poison res mead

[true steeple]

A feast takes one food slot

[delicate condor]

my god that's op

[real bear]

any food takes 1 food slot

[real bear]

later on it balences out quite a bit, you will never have enough HP or Stam lol

[true steeple]

Their total stats aren’t much different to normal food, so it’s not that powerful. It’s useful to get a more specific balance of health and stamina though

[delicate condor]

so basically I place the trail somewhere?
and put food inside of it and once all the required food are placed they become a feast?

[true steeple]

The tray is a building tool used to place food. Feasts are crafted at a food preparation table and placed using the tray.

[real bear]

i didnt even know a tray item existed

[delicate condor]

once I have the required food, I left click a table to place the trail on it?
and I can eat directly from it?

[true steeple]

You have to eat from a placed feast, you can’t use it in the inventory.

[delicate condor]

thank you

[haughty pier]

1 poison resistance enough for bonemass?

[real bear]

i used 1 from my fight, but i did it pretty quick overall, if you think you will die bring multiple

[haughty pier]

also longship or karve?

[real bear]

i just always upgrade my boat when i can

[haughty pier]

ok

[tough hare]

Depends at how well you prepared the area for the fight.

If you haven't done anything, you may need more. If you pick the wrong weapons for a melee fight, you will need more. If you use the right weapons and have prepared the area or use some cheese, you can do with one.

As for the boats, for exploration the Karve is good as it's more agile.
For goods transportation it's the Longboat without any doubt.

[pliant briar]

what are i am suposed to do on mountains? ive explored a few caves and found silver but none of this seems like enough to be ready for moder

[real bear]

get duagur bow, with bout 200 silver arrows

[little trench]

find onion seeds

[true steeple]

If you’ve got new equipment and food, that’s all you need

[real bear]

frost res mead, lots of it, and healing meads

[agile rapids]

I mean, do you have the new weapons?

[true steeple]

Why not obsidian?

[agile rapids]

NEVER USE SILVER ARROWS THEY SUCK

[pliant briar]

i have new armor

[real bear]

my bad, forgot you get obsidian in mountain

moder was the first boss i struggled with, so i would say hes a step up from the bosses before him

[agile crown]

I cannot imagine ever using metal on arrows besides maybe blackmetal bolts

[cedar lodge]

seems good, maybe just upgrade the mace if you can, also poison arrows will be of no use for now

[true steeple]

Why? They’re pretty cheap. It’s just that obsidian is equally good if the enemy is immune to spirit

[agile crown]

Metal is one of the most annoying things in the game
If i go through the trouble for it i want to use it for something permanent

[real bear]

just depends on the metal honestly, silver isnt that hard to get at all honestly

[agile crown]

Silver is like one of the worst to transport though

Heaviest and you gotta get it down the mountain

[cedar lodge]

wait, frost res mead does more than wolf cape/ mountain armor?

[real bear]

to be fair, i did make it so i could tp with ore, it just seemed like a stupid tedious thing that i just wasn't a fan of

[tired root]

They are useful in Ashlands, the only metal arrow I'd craft.

[real bear]

i think it just makes you take less dmg from frost attacks, unless im wrong im probably wrong

[pliant briar]

so draugr bow, obsidian arrows lots of heal and will fenris armor be good?

[agile rapids]

Actually, yeah, you're basically set for the whole game imon silver if you have just 1 stack left over, so silver arrows aren't that bad

[real bear]

cause think abt it, later bosses plains, fire, you need fire mead, so it just makes sense to have frost to lower frost dmg

[tired root]

Obsidian arrows are good in Mountains.

[agile rapids]

I personally use fire arrows for ease of crafting, but they are worse(I think)

[pliant briar]

i use them rn for drakons i js didnt know if the obsidian ones are better

[cedar lodge]

i get it, but actual effect modifier is the same, "resistant (50%) to frost", i really think it's the same

[real bear]

yeah, i didnt know there was a wolf cape when i killed moder, somehow i didnt get a trophy so yeah

[cedar lodge]

for instance poison is different, mead gets you "very resistant" versus the root helm "resistant"

[tough hare]

When you look at the pierce and total damage of fire arrows and Obsidian, the fire arrows are worse, yes.
But the fire damage stacks ànd is DoT and because of that they can have a higher damage effect on anything hit with it as obsidian does.

[cedar lodge]

what? no trophy??

[real bear]

you need wolf trophy to get the cape recipe right?, im in mistlands and still havent gotten one lmao

[orchid matrix]

how can i easily find dungeons (not trolls one) in the black forest?

[cedar lodge]

oh ok now i get it

[real bear]

look for skeletons

[true steeple]

Three skeletons spawn at the entrance

[orchid matrix]

ok thx

[real bear]

look for skeletons, and holes pretty much

[cedar lodge]

yup they're pretty much everywhere, sometimes hidden bby plants/fog, if skeletons attack you, go look for the direction they came from, if it's not a stone tower it's a dungeon

[agile rapids]

@pliant briar all the arrows up to mountains #screenshots message

[pliant briar]

look for blue light

[real bear]

if you see loads of fire outside one, somehow, wouldn't recommend going into it until later

[orchid matrix]

ok

[cedar lodge]

well said

[real bear]

lmao, only way to say it without spoiling whats inside lmao

[orchid matrix]

uhuh

[real bear]

want the surprise to stay surprising, (make sure to mark it for later tho, you will want it eventually)

[cedar lodge]

agree 100%

#valheim-help message "big blue thing" 😉

[orchid matrix]

wait y'all talking about troll's dungeons? if yes i saw one randomly but i didn't sign it lol

[cedar lodge]

nope, just don't enter the ones with fire outside for now 😉

[orchid matrix]

like i entered it thinking it was a skeleton one but than i saw a big troll coming at me and i left in less than a second

[cedar lodge]

yup those are troll caves, worth checking though, if there's a troll you can easily run outside

[real bear]

also to find the fire cave, is there any way to like actually find it? or just run around then eventually find it

[orchid matrix]

yeah there was a troll

[cedar lodge]

there is! you have to find some little blue fella in the meadows (the meadows far from center map)

[real bear]

yeah the traders, is there a specific thing you have to do?, cause i found all traders in my world and still nothing on the quests

[cedar lodge]

oh ok, you just missed a little table in the encampment of the meadows trader, you interact with it and it will mark you fire dungeon and other special places on map

[real bear]

ooh yeah, must have barely missed it lmao

[delicate condor]

best arrows I can use against Yagluth?

[frosty frost]

Arrows are not really that good for him, but frost

[real bear]

use silver sword, i barely used arrows in the fight

[orchid matrix]

yo btw is there a way to tame wolves before getting cold resistance pots? since i heard they are give a lot of help

[delicate condor]

silver knife!

[cedar lodge]

uuuh i'll say it's not technically impossible, but i wouldnt try

[orchid matrix]

lol

[real bear]

they will also, more than likely 1 shot you in your stage in the game.

[delicate condor]

how long do ratatosk and berserker mead last?

[little trench]

ratatosk 10m berserkir 20s

[delicate condor]

lol just had yagluth turn like a lox around and slowly teared him down without a scratch

[sudden cedar]

can any suggest the best food and mead to take with for queen. Thanks

[frosty frost]

Are you going magic or melee

[sudden cedar]

would like to try with magic

[frosty frost]

Then seeker aspic and Yggdrasil porridge + egg omelete or fish and bread would be best. For mead stamina, health, eitr and lightfoot + ratatosk potions are gonna be good 🙂

[sudden cedar]

thanks a lot

[ashen zephyr]

Do non tiered wolves tame at day

[frosty frost]

Taming Is the same for all animals

[haughty pier]

is there a way to skip wind

i cnat use boat cuz of wind

[sudden cedar]

should i also go with full magic set?

[frosty frost]

I would say yes

[sudden cedar]

thanks

[frosty frost]

Sleep

[tired root]

Like Asatru said, but salad is also good and it's very cheap stamina food.

[frosty frost]

True, one of my usual 2 stan foods in mistlands, together with the omelete, both are plenty cheap 😄

But i don't think you should really look much on cost of making the food when going to bossfight 😉

[sudden cedar]

thanks

[tired root]

I rarely have made fish & bread until recently after I got some hang on fishing, so I've always managed with salad. They have 10 stamina and 5min duration differences (salad 80 stamina 25min vs fish & bread 90 stamina 30min duration).

[frosty frost]

Yeah, the fish and bread is just pain to farm so i get the other stam foods 🙂

[steep tusk]

True. Waiting for Bread is horrid.

[haughty pier]

what should i craft first in mountains

[stoic trench]

I’d recommend a wolf cape or some armor

And the cauldron upgrade asap

[marble roost]

^ yea a wolf cape for frost resist is nice, and butcher block cauldron upgrade for better food

Next a weapon I would say. Making a spear is very cheap, but the other weapons are good too

[haughty pier]

ok also whats the best weapon

[stoic trench]

That’s subjective really, hard to answer. My favorites are Frostner and the crystal battleaxe.

[marble roost]

Frostner (special weapon that takes a bit to get) is very popular, sword is super good too

[steep tusk]

Why does everyone want the game solved for them instead of just playing it? 😭

[tired root]

Sword is very silver hungry tho, takes 160 silver to fully upgrade plus 23 iron.

[marble roost]

Yea I don't think I've ever made it, not really my style

I like the cheap stuff, often going for spear or claws

Silver is quite easy to get tho

[tired root]

Spear, Frostner and Crystal battleaxe are ❄️ 🔥

[short cosmos]

Sword is amazing even in the final biome atm, always worth making

[cedar lodge]

I found fenris set + claws awesome and totally skipped wolf armor the first playthru, but it is very subjective

went back to craft frostner just for plains boss

[short cosmos]

silver sword would do better there

[true steeple]

The silver sword has uses in plains and ashlands

[short cosmos]

I used it in mistlands and it was still really good against seeker soldiers when I was doing valheim in reverse

[true steeple]

Flesh rippers are very powerful

And you can backstab secondary with them for the highest possible stagger in one hit

[haughty pier]

im asking whats the best weapon? it would take years to test which weapon is best

[lilac coyote]

No it won't.

[steep tusk]

No, no it wouldn't.
And also why? Play with the weapon you have the most fun playing with. Bestness be damned. Valheim isn't a competition.

[haughty pier]

i mean you do need get alot of silver or what ever to figure out what enemies are weak to

[true steeple]

You can use any weapon with the right damage type to find their weaknesses, not a silver one

[haughty pier]

yes but silver deals most dmg ofc

[zealous tendon]

quick question, how could you make enemies stop spawning around you? Or atleast not reach your home. Make an somewhat walls far from your base?

[tired root]

Campfires or workbenches suppress spawning.

[true steeple]

I make a stake wall around my base. If enemies can't see you, they won't break anything, so having them around the base isn't a problem

[zealous tendon]

oh, really?

[cedar lodge]

skills are also very important, i choose my weapon for 5th boss based on that having 2 or 3 almost equal damaging weapon to choose from

(and it worked of course)

[tired root]

Yes, they both have same radius, although enemies target workbenches, but won't target campfires.

[short cosmos]

silver is fairly easy to get tons of if u mine a few veins u will have more than enough to max out every silver item you want, and use fenris for armor ofc 😉

[real bear]

it just depends on weaknesses really

[marble roost]

I’m that one guy that likes using all the weapons. So I’ll do something like axe Black Forest, spear swamp, mace mountain, knife plains, etc.

Although ill often make two weapons in a biome

[regal ocean]

Can you edit world names?

[frosty frost]

Maybe if you mess with files, but not simply in game afaik

[cold crater]

is there some good stamina regenaration mead? tasty mead only last a few seconds and the other stamina mead has big cooldown
whats the best mead for alot of terraforming?

[gusty prairie]

I usually go with several stamina foods when building/terraforming

[cold crater]

already have that and rested but i want more xd

[marble roost]

There's a lingering stamina mead (ups stamina regen for like 5 min or something), but it's lategame

[cold crater]

how far lategame?

[marble roost]

Mistlands

[gusty prairie]

medium stamina if you want faster

[marble roost]

So second last biome currently

[cold crater]

we are building right next to mistlands coul i theoretically just run in there for a second and get what i need?

[marble roost]

If I remember right Ashlands also has armor that reduces amount of stamina used for some activities, but don't remember the specifics

[marble roost]

ehhh would take a lot of work

[gusty prairie]

you can also build a small hut with campfire to get faster regen

[marble roost]

I definitely don't think braving mistlands fro stamina regen is worth it

Dark is right though, getting "resting" (not just "rested") will make you basically insta regen

[cold crater]

oh good idea

[gusty prairie]

😎

[cold crater]

thanks for the help guys

[gusty prairie]

good way to dry off fast too

[true steeple]

Ask armor reduces stamina for attacking by 20% and jumping and sprinting by 10%

[gusty prairie]

@cold crater dont forget the clothes from Hilder help with stamina

[cold crater]

oh i need to look into that
which set is that?

[true steeple]

That’s only for building tools

[steady seal]

I've cleared a few crypts in a swamp and have a ton of iron. I was wondering how much further I would have to go for workbench level 5? I have forge level 4 with chains now but no idea about the workbench lol.

[desert monolith]

next biome

[woeful pivot]

in the mountains u get obsidian to make a tool shelf but after that 5 is the max

[steady seal]

Ah okay thanks

[steep tusk]

What do you have already?

[regal ocean]

Nvm just read the message above mine😂

[regal ocean]

How does the obliterator work

[steep tusk]

Put stuff in.
Pull lever.
Step back.

[regal ocean]

Ahhhh ok didn’t know there was a lever lol

Im slow

[steep tusk]

Drink Rat mead, you will be fast 😏

[regal ocean]

Don’t think I’ve unlocked that recipe yet

[steep tusk]

Have to meet the Witch.

[regal ocean]

So the obliterators sole purpose is just to destroy things?

[steep tusk]

It converts them into Coal, yeah.

It is a lightning trash can.

[regal ocean]

Oh weird I haven’t gotten any coal

[steep tusk]

It works on a points system.
So put stuff in it but don't pull the lever until you actually fill it up.

[regal ocean]

Ahhhh I see

So could I just put 1 log in each slot?

[steep tusk]

Do not put logs in...

Wood is 1:1 coal conversion in the kiln.
So you should never put it in the Obliterator.

Same with meats.
Meats are 1:1 coal if you let them burn while cooking.

[regal ocean]

Ok thanks

When do you think is a good time for me to build a boat and go sailing? After swamp?

[steep tusk]

I mean... most people have to sail prior to swamp unless their starter island is large enough.

So "when you have to"?

[regal ocean]

Guess I got lucky then. My swamp is connected to the starter island

[steep tusk]

Sometimes you have swamp on starter but it may not have any crypts or just 1.

[regal ocean]

I’ve cleared 6 crypts in this little area

My starter island is also connected to the biome with the flys that one shot you

[steep tusk]

Deathsquitos are high damage but they have like 20hp.
So they also get one-shot by you.

[regal ocean]

so this isnt normal? barely covered any area in the swamp and already cleared 6 crypts

[steep tusk]

Define "normal" when everything is randomly generated? 😄

[regal ocean]

idk just figured it was out of the ordianary since you said theres sometimes only 1 or no crypts

[steep tusk]

Sometimes. Yes.
Because randomly generated.

Anything from no swamp at all to a swamp with a dozen+ crypts is possible.

[regal ocean]

gotcha

[odd hedge]

bro how do i spawn in items??

[junior ingot]

gotta use console commands

[tired root]

Coal conversion is 1 per 1 trophy, 1 per 20 arrows, 1 per 5 any wood (including ancient bark) and 1 per 10 of any else item.

[steep tusk]

Fishing Bait is one of the easiest ways to bulk produce from the Obliterator.

[frosty pine]

@lilac coyote ik you got the inside scoop g, when is deep north dropping i ain’t tryna wait till 2026

[desert monolith]

No one (including Derek) knows.

And if anyone did know; they are certainly not posting it here until it was formally announced.

Devs have learnt a long time ago; no point giving long term promises; it’s ready when it’s ready.

[frosty pine]

derek is all knowing, i trust him but thank you

[tired root]

This is a subject where his knowledge is limited like us all.

[desert monolith]

I’m not saying Derek isn’t a knowledgeable person. I’m saying he’s openly said many times he doesn’t know either.

[frosty pine]

@tired carbon what do you think of all this

[tired carbon]

Derek thy all knowing contains the eye of agamoto to forsee the release of the deep north

[frosty pine]

jojo has predicted the past 3 launch dates so i trust him

[tired carbon]

I put my faith in Derek

[tawdry creek]

me any my brother have a world from one of the first versions of the game, we went to 2 different bonemass spawn locations from the crypts, and his alter was not there. Is there a way to ensure this wont happen a third time?

[steep tusk]

Given how drastically the world generation algothrm has changed... no.
Unless you're joing going to manually spawn the location in and force it to be there.

[desert monolith]

Did you get the location a while ago, and just visiting it now?

Most likely it’s an old marker. Go back to the dungeon and re-check the marker. It should give you a new location.

[tawdry creek]

Yes I went back to the crypt and the location it gave is way closer. The old one was like over haveway the radius of the world. hopefully it works out

[haughty pier]

does fermenting meads go faster if sleeping?

[errant zodiac]

Is there any way to get this cape? Look pretty cool!

[true steeple]

#mods-discussion

[errant zodiac]

I am sorry to tag you but are you saying I should ask there?

[true steeple]

Yes, it's a modded cape and you might be more likely to find someone who knows about it

[errant zodiac]

sure I'll, thank you for your reply! Appreciate it

[desert monolith]

yeah - location markers on old patches become invalid. Unfortunately they are not removed when the game patches, so it results in this issue alot.

Getting a new marker on the current patch is the solution.

[copper grove]

Would be a good update for arround xmas time

[honest torrent]

hey, weird niche issue I have, I use hyprland on linux, and valheim refuses to launch on there for whatever reason

it runs fine on other wayland desktops like kde or gnome but won't start on hyprland

[orchid matrix]

in the end I did it somehow

[cedar lodge]

ha! right, you drag them to the biome border, of course

[orchid matrix]

xd

[true steeple]

When I tame wolves I make a wolf pit near my base to kick greylings into

[cedar lodge]

explored a lot, crafted a lot and built a lot, but never tamed wolves, it's one of the things that i want to do before moving on to Queen/Ashlands

[orchid matrix]

real

[orchid matrix]

oh, queen ashlands is the last biome for now right?

[cedar lodge]

queen is last boss before Ashlands, wich is the last published biome

[orchid matrix]

oh i saw that they will add another biome

[cedar lodge]

i play at a very slow pace eheh, that's the way i like it

[orchid matrix]

yeah same xd i built like a pen for hogs and now i need 2 wolves to use as guards since mobs at night attack my hogs

[cedar lodge]

that will be the last, it will come with 1.0 relase, and a "proper ending", as devs said, but most likely we have to wait a yearish or more

[orchid matrix]

yeah true

[orchid matrix]

Should I get a bigger house?

[frosty frost]

Yes

[delicate condor]

is there material from the Mistlands I'll need to bring back to my base via boat like metals etc.?

[frosty frost]

Not really, there is one mistlands specific thing you cant teleport but you will want to leave it in mistlands

[cold crater]

i want to build my forever base
there are only these plants right?
carrot
turnip
onion
2 in plains
and 2 in mistlands
1 in ashlands

[frosty frost]

Yep

[cold crater]

awesome thank you

[frosty frost]

You can plant everything from plains and before + ashlands crop in plains, so plenty of people choose to make a main base there. But you can make main base basically wherever you want and then have 2 farm portals to plains and to mistlands 🙂

[cold crater]

i build the base right at the plains/mistland border so im good there

[delicate condor]

how do I understand what terrain I can plant stuff in the Mistlands?

[frosty frost]

The black one no, the green one yes

[cold crater]

how many pickables are there here are all i know
raspery
mushroom
glow mushroom
dandelion
blue berry
thystle
cloudberry
(so 7)
are there more?

[frosty frost]

2 more in ashlands

[cold crater]

copy that thank you

(im playing plant everything and want to have beds for them too)

[delicate condor]

are there yggdrasil tree seeds in the mistlands to plant them elsewhere?

[frosty frost]

Nope.

[cold crater]

is there a better corewood tree
like the oak tree for finewood and not birch

[frosty frost]

Nope, only pine

[delicate condor]

@frosty frost thanks for answering all our silly questions, Asa ❤️

[frosty frost]

Yall are welcome 😄

[cold crater]

yeah thanks man

[placid urchin]

does the stonecutter have any upgrades?

[true steeple]

No. It only has one crafting recipe.

[placid urchin]

alright thanks

[candid lynx]

our base looks silly any tips on building on ashlands

[formal pine]

im using a dedicated server and need to find the seed, as im "renting" the server i dont have the fwl file and print seeds cmd is showing something different

[tired root]

Ah yeah, a fellow earth wall raiser.

[candid lynx]

oh yea that annoying morgan just comes rolling out of nothing

[tired root]

Keeps everything else that can't fly away too. 👍

[orchid matrix]

btw is there a way to remove raids?

[tired root]

World modifiers in main menu.

[orchid matrix]

ok thx, since i just got my first raid and got assaulted by a whole horde of dwarves

[lilac coyote]

Lovely, a ghost ping.

[tired root]

Yeah, there are many different raids that can trigger every 46 minutes (one at the time) with 20% possibility near base structures.

And as you progress there will be more possible raids unlocked depending which bosses/creatures you have killed in your world.

[orchid matrix]

hell naw

i'll remove it fr

[tired root]

It's an option and your game, your choice. 👍

You're not only one doing that. 😄

[lilac coyote]

But...free resources.

[orchid matrix]

xd

[orchid matrix]

yeah but at the cost of risking your whole house and tamed animals :/

[lilac coyote]

Only if you haven't protected it.

[drowsy crane]

I disabled mine in my solo world, took me so long to transport Lox to my starter island, and for some reason raids love to target them

[orchid matrix]

and how would i protect it?

[tired root]

Yeah, they are at risk but you can build protection against them raids. Moat and wall are good ways for that.

[orchid matrix]

yeah raids love to target my tamed animals too, they all died due to a raid

[serene basin]

Deciding that / trying things out for yourself is part of the fun IMO 😁

[lilac coyote]

Walls, traps, spawn protection the lot.

Spending less time in base.

[drowsy crane]

Even so, angry Lox tend to cascade onto eachother and break everything they stampede into

[lilac coyote]

That's why you use terrain walls for lox.

[drowsy crane]

Or just disable raids. I love to build to the terrain to reduce lag and have a nice large village.

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, you don't have to play the game, that's true.

[drowsy crane]

You'll be alright nothing to be upset about.

[candid lynx]

wait can u hatch volture eggs

[drowsy crane]

No, not yet anyways
