[small nest]

have you checked the options -> controls?

[mystic tinsel]

Is there any way to learn what biome I am in when I don't have a map/minimap?

[delicate condor]

will yggdrasil root sucked of their sap re-generate or you have to costantly find new roots?

[winged solstice]

they can regenerate, so it's best to rotate your sap extractors off of a freshed sucked one so that it can replenish over time, or you could leave the sap collector at full and it will regen as well

[delicate condor]

will 2 be enough to altrernate?

[small nest]

color of the sky
meadows have clear
black forest from west/east orange and blue
swamp is just green-black
mountains youre walking on snow
plains are often foggy and have this orange-blueish sky, dark at night
mistlands are purple-orange
ashlands like come on, spikes in the sea and orangish sky

[winged solstice]

if you have 1 sap extractor maybe. i had 3 and i would alternate between like 5 with typically having a weaker root

[small nest]

not really, 4 shoots and 2 extractors should be fine

[mystic tinsel]

Ah, clever. This must be plains. There's like floaty white things passing by my screen all the time.

[small nest]

yup, probably plains

look for hilly terrain, meadows are usually more flat

[mystic tinsel]

I purposefully sought out a tiny speck in the middle of the sea, so there is no terrain, no lands in sight in any direction 😄

[small nest]

you can cultivate the soil and see if the grass is yellow or green or intense green

[mystic tinsel]

Tired of raids, so hehe. No raids here. 😄

[buoyant peak]

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

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

Or you could not waste time and just read their articles in the wiki...

[small nest]

yea, i would just do it like lazy person, which i am

[agile frigate]

Yes there was nothing

[placid plaza]

So a greydwarf brute just made it into my base and idk how it happened,
I have a moat all around my base, a perimeter wall that only has a few openings,
And a single bridge for the cart that enemies can't cross and campfires all around to prevent spawns but somehow a brute entered the base.
Now I'm not sure if I missed a spot but it never happened during raids.
And enemies in that fall into the moat just stay there and never climb out

[tired root]

You might want to check if your base really is spawnproofed.

[placid plaza]

how do I do that?
I found a mod but I play on a hosted server that doesn't support mods currently

[tired root]

You should see the white lines that workbenches make when you try to build something with a hammer. Take a piece that requires workbench to build with your hammer and hover around to see any spot that is out of building range.

[placid plaza]

well I've been using campfire so far because they are out of sight mostly

I guess one of the outer campfire was destroyed and left an opening

Ill build workbenches instead

[tired root]

Could be. While the campfire has the same range it doesn't show with the hammer.

[placid plaza]

yea that's the problem

[tired root]

Workbench range increases with upgrades tho.

[placid plaza]

oh that's handy

so I could getaway with fewer workbenches

[tired root]

Yeah, some upgrades are quite cheap.

[placid plaza]

I guess I'll rebuild my walls and place workbenches on the inside

[coral wharf]

Or you can map out with workbenches... And then when Ur sure it's 100% spawnproofed just swap them out for campfires?

[placid plaza]

Yeah I could do that too

ty

btw is there a specific range on how far the troll logs attacks reach?

nvm got my answer apparently 6-8m

[long halo]

for some reason i cant drag anything into my hotbar, and cant drag anything out, i can use the items, any fix?

ive already tried dying and recollecting stuff and tried switching characters and still doesnt wrok

[ocean yacht]

modded valheim?

[long halo]

0 mods

[ocean yacht]

tried restarting game?

[delicate condor]

raid monsters are spawning next to my campfires, do they need fire on to act as anti-spawn zones?

[real nebula]

they shouldn't

[frosty frost]

I have entire base spawnproofed by burned out campfires and no monsters even spawn when raid happens

[livid badge]

do u still get same progress even if u kill a boss from another sv?

Ex. Your boss level is bonemass, then u kill bonemass in another sv, u still do?

[frosty frost]

What do you mean by "get the same progress"? If you get items from that boss you can take them on any world you want.

[livid badge]

by killing certain boss u unlock certain scenarios right? Like new siege level

[frosty frost]

Ah, yeah that is server locked unless you play with player based raids, if the boss doesent die in a world then nothing happens to raids and stuff. But you also dont ulock stuff at traders.

[livid badge]

ahh I see, thanks man

[hearty veldt]

Hey, any tips where to progress after beating || The Elder || ?

[frosty frost]

What is the drops name? 😉

[livid badge]

swamps, and goodluck

[hearty veldt]

Ah okay makes sense ^^ we went a little around in that biome but ig we were kinda unlucky

[frosty frost]

How so?👀

[hearty veldt]

the biome was pretty small unfortunately so we have to look for another one 👍

[frosty frost]

Ah, yeah that is often the case, and you might have to look for multiple ones because the resource you get there is used throughout the whole game basically 🙂

[hearty veldt]

But i still have the lvl4 flint spear and lvl 3 troll armor i guess i have to upgrade before that, before getting one shot lol

[hearty veldt]

Alright thanks! Will do ^^

[frosty frost]

The weapon, yeah, the armor is good. Also make sure you have good food and poison resist mead before you dive deep into swamps 🙂

[hearty veldt]

Oh yeah i still have to craft that thing to harvest stuff. totally forgot about that ^^

[frosty frost]

Oh you 100% should craft cultivator as soon as possible 😄 food is one of the most, if not the most important part of the game 🙂

[hearty veldt]

Oh yeah, it took me way too long to realize that lmao

those damn mosquitos were getting on my nerves without food xD

[frosty frost]

Heh, they will even with food 😄 but you should not be around them for 2 more biomes

[knotty dock]

I have a doubt, not in a valheim ship, specifically the drakkar or viking ship I could see that they put shields on it, is it possible?

[frosty frost]

Nope, mods

[true steeple]

The hotbar shows the old pixel font. Maybe this is just how the longship used to look?

[frosty frost]

Hmmm, would have to be pre-EA i think, dont remember it looking like this. Also i dont recognize the item in slot 7.

[true steeple]

Yes, the pixel font is from very old versions before EA

[frosty frost]

Then it could be i guess, i wasnt playing before EA, but i am also not entirely sure what the question actually meant in the first place.

[frail cave]

the ship did look like that originally and was changed to the version we have today before early access release, correct~
why, i either don't remember or never knew myself 😅

[gilded ridge]

are "Heat Resistant" and "Fire Resistant" are different type of damage?

[true steeple]

Heat resistance allows you to stay in lava or boiling water for longer

[frosty frost]

Heat resistance acts in ashlands for the lava and boiling water, fire resistance is for when you are burning 🙂

[small nest]

from what i know, heat resistance is not that useful in lava

[frosty frost]

I leats you stay there for noticably longer, ofcourse not let you walk on it 😄

[short cosmos]

ye theres better ways to walk on it 😄

[oak widget]

Hello everyone. Who can help, just in a nutshell, how to translate the mod correctly (which file) and where to throw it

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might be able to help 🙂

[oak widget]

Ty

[hearty veldt]

is the bronze spear, atgeir or sword better overall? Im still at flint spear lvl4 and want to upgrade to bronze

[frosty frost]

It really depends on you, atgeirs secondary is incredibly powerful but you have to get used to playing with two handers, sword is great all rounder, not much is resistant to slash but also not much is weak to it, and you know how spear works 🙂

[hearty veldt]

Alright thanks! Will try out atgeir ^^

[frosty frost]

Enjoy 😄 i am just slowly finishing playthrough with them

[hearty veldt]

Oh nice

[livid badge]

When u use an axe its -20% stamina? im confused about this one

[frosty frost]

Nope, applies to hammer and hoe 🙂

[livid badge]

ahhh I see, thanks man, still useful

[stoic trench]

Definitely read that as ‘undead tunic’ lol

[agile crown]

Maybe should be renamed to something like "construction tool"

[frosty frost]

I am not 100% sure they are the only ones, maybe butcher knife also falls there 🤔 but it might also be under farming tools
Oh, and i think also fishing rod falls under base tools 😄 (Maybe also pickaxe? Again not sure)

[stoic trench]

Make it a high-vis construction vest

[stoic trench]

Yeah I’m really curious about that as well 🤔

If fishing rod falls under that category, that’s big news 👀

[frosty frost]

I think it does, it doesent really fall under the other categories imo, but then again the butcher knife doesent either.

[livid badge]

does a full grown plant drops seed still?

[frosty frost]

When you plant a seed a crop will grow, when you plant that crop then plant that drops seeds will grow.

[livid badge]

"when you plant that crop then plant that drops seeds will grow."

Confused here mb. So you're saying if I plant a seed and it's fully grown, it drops a seed a still?

[frosty frost]

When you plant a seed of a carrot, then a carrot will grow, and when you plant that carrot again then 3 carrot seeds will drop

[livid badge]

ahh I see

👍 thanks again man, u helped me with a lot of questions today

[mental fjord]

hi, do community server exists where a newbie can join?

[frosty frost]

Only player hosted ones, valheim doesent have its own servers 🙂

But if i may i would suggest to go through the first playthrough solo, as that is where you learn the most 😄

[mental fjord]

how to find ?

i did 2nd boss now, bu would play with people to, i pref playing with people

[frosty frost]

Look no further than #1024264966712340510 then 😄

[frosty frost]

Huh, wiki says that Hammer, the Hoe, the Cultivator, and the Serving tray are base tools 🤔 so mabye there is some overlap between them and farming tools

[ruby comet]

Is there some secret mechanic that determines which direction your tamed animals face? Some reason mine are adamant at looking in the oposite direction I want them to

[frosty frost]

Eh, not really.

[tired root]

I'm in a belief that after Bog witch update the stamina usage of farming tools moved under farming skill. I could be wrong too, but at least with harvester buff (+25 farming) the stamina usage has been lower than without.

Also, fishing rod doesn't fall under base tools so no reduced stamina usage for fishing with Hildir's clothes.

[frail cave]

i lost all my stuff at the edge of the world I didn’t know that I would die

I lost so many hours worth of my stuff is there anything I can do to get it back

[willow raft]

• Remake everything.
• Restart completely.
• Sail back there and just stay out of range of the dead space and grab your gear back.
• Enable the console and enable fly to fly there and get your gear back.
• Enable console and spawn the gear in.

[worldly roost]

I just killed Queen and want to switch to mage build what food should i go
2 eitr 1 stam/1 health
3 eitr

[cold crater]

You should definitely have enough health for the blood magic
But other than that you can adapt your the food to your own playstyle

[frail cave]

my gear is in the dead space😭

[willow raft]

I always went with 2 eitr 1 stamina, the bubble from staff of protection is your hp food.
The skeletons (or trolls) from the summoning staffs are also hp food, they will aggro the mobs, because mobs attack the enemy that is closest to them.
More stamina make you more mobile and that is a good thing as a mage build, constantly be on the move to keep the enemies at a distance and if they do get close, parry with the bubble to stun them and either move or throw some fireballs or so on them (or summon a skeleton, ...)
Any other questions just ask.

[willow raft]

Health from blood magic is percentile so that doesn't matter.

[hoary ocean]

me and my friend built a broken stone bridge and we are trying to add vines to it. but they seemed to have stoped growing. (obviously we want them to reach the top) do you think it's feasable?

[willow raft]

Fly / godmode should counteract that, if you don't want to do that you'll need to look at one of the other options.

[frosty frost]

What do you need helping with?

[gilded ridge]

btw which better, major healing or lingering healing?

[tired root]

Major imo. It helps better in dire situations.

[willow raft]

Like Joelkkkii says, Major, it is like a oh shit button, you take a hit and are low on life and the chance that you will be hit again is high, so you pop the major and can survive that next hit and hopefully you can rally again and stay alive.

[pliant briar]

will black metal be enough to kill yagluth? i dont see anything else on plains yet

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword.

[cedar lodge]

Actually even silver would, B.M. sword, silver sword and Frostner are kinda tied (i did it both times with the Frostner because of skills)

[steep tusk]

There is nothing tied with Silver Sword vs. Yag.

Even at 0 skill it is best-in-slot.

[cedar lodge]

uhm didn't know, i will try next time

[steep tusk]

Lingering sucks massively.

[willow raft]

Silver sword, dagger or frostner all work.

[steep tusk]

I initially read that as Dagger of Frostner and was like 👀

[stuck wolf]

How do I deal with chickens? Like they are just such a pain. The entire time they just huddle up in the corners and I literally just cannot move them out of the way to grab the eggs when there's like five or six chickens in the way

[willow raft]

You can either have them up on a roof so the eggs roll down, you need to construct something that keeps the chickens on the roof but lets the eggs roll down, or use roofs inside so they can't really get in a corner and you can just jump up the roof pieces to push them aside.

Another possibility but isn't really "viking" is an industrialized chicken coop, 2 chickens in a cramped spaced on a roof with a feeding tray they can get to and high up in the air so they never stop laying eggs because there are too many eggs already.

[stuck wolf]

Do you think you can give me a visual example?

[willow raft]

I can give you a youtube link that shows and explains the industrialized chicken coop and the 2 other ideas spawned from there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klQg1f41U3c
This is another example but a bit more technical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YU8SXNCmwQ&t=289s
You could combine the 2 take the bottom half of the 2nd video for the sorting of chics and hens and the auto killing and the top of the first one for the feeding and positioning of the chickens.

[stuck wolf]

Ty

[drowsy crane]

In these cases I'll sit a wooden gate near the corner and open it, it'll move the chickens with the door's swing 👍

[solemn needle]

i solved the corners issue by just putting halfwalls into the corners, now i can just push my chickens around when i need to garb some eggs. can't push more than 2 chickens though, sometrimes when it doesnt work, i'll just pet the chickens to get em to move. seems to make em move faster

[lilac flame]

Hello,
my friend and I died in the ocean and our boat got destroyed. When we died, we saw our gravestones floating in the water.
We built a new boat and got back to the "skull icons" but there's no loot and no gravestones. Not for him, not for me. Does anyknow know how we can recover our lost gear?
Thanks

[obtuse vector]

I don't have internet right now. If I try to play Valheim offline will it save my progress? I am about to do a boss fight so I want to be sure

[lilac coyote]

If you're not cloud saving then your world and characters will be saved on your machine locally.

[obtuse vector]

Thanks for the response. Do you know what happens when I go back online? Will it sync up the data properly?

[lilac coyote]

Again, if you're not using cloud saving then everything will be stored locally.

[obtuse vector]

Thanks Derek. You've always been very helpful and I appreciate it

[lilac coyote]

You're welcome.

[lilac coyote]

Ain't that the truth.

[loud rapids]

Whats a good way to light my tower on a long term dedicated server?

I can't afford to keep the fancy blue lights running all the time...

I need about a dozen or less lights to keep it lit

[tough hare]

Are you talking about interiour lights or do you mean you're using it as a light tower?

[knotty dock]

hello, a question, is there a “quick” way to find the mini boses of the game?

[tidal spoke]

Does the range of a crafting station behave like a cylinder with infinite height or like a sphere with the crafting station at the center?

[tough hare]

The ones from Hildir's quest can be found by looking at her map after talking to her the first time.
I don't think they're present before that, though. So I doubt there's a faster way.

[tough hare]

Like a sphere.

[tidal spoke]

ok, thanks

[jade olive]

They changed it from a sphear or dome to the cyilander. So your correct. This made it alot easier building higher like swamp trees.

[stark dock]

so my friend has the host world and doesn't play another is there a way i can still log on to the world and progress or am i just screwed.

[jade olive]

Your stuck sadly until he's online again unless you both invest in a server

[worldly roost]

does staff level effect staff of protection

[short cosmos]

yes

[worldly roost]

by how much?

the shield i meant

[cold crater]

One thing me and a satisfactory group did is, everytime the host goes offline he sends the world file in the groupchat, and whoever wants to host next downloads it, or you just rent a server that is always up
-# like ternais said

[cold crater]

Acording to the wiki:

[worldly roost]

nono i meant staff level

guys can anyone help me get my stuff in mistlands i died at the top of a dverger tower

[cold crater]

The block force goes from
Lvl1: 20 to
Lvl3: 30
-# also acording to the wiki

[cold crater]

Someone in lfg might be able to help

Talking about that, can anyone explain the difference of block force and block armor, i couldnt find anything in the wiki about that

[worldly roost]

ahh

what about staff of frost/ember does staff level effect it?

[gilded ridge]

What Infuse should i add to ash fang? poison or lightning?

[frosty frost]

Both are good, i personally like lightning

[drowsy crane]

I like the lightening for dealing with Morgens, surprisingly effective

[tired root]

Storm Fang gives you some group damaging effect in form of lightning that can chain to nearby enemies and can chain multiple times in larger targets, which is good.

Root Fang gives you control against single targets as the rooting effect completely immobilizes targets.

Both effects are good.

[gilded ridge]

Humm

the only need for bow only for fallen valkrie

i guess i go lightning since she didn immune/resistant of it

[frosty frost]

Bow Is handy also for other stuff but yeah, the main one Is Valkyrie 🙂

[gilded ridge]

Yeah, you can't escape her until you meet the dvergr who can distract her

[tired root]

It's a good initiative against Asksvins too. And lightning effect is highly effective against Morgen.

[true steeple]

@worldly roost Block force is knockback applied to enemies when blocking with the staff of protection.

It has nothing to do with the bubble, this means using the staff like a shield

[cold crater]

Does the knockback not get applied to the bubble?

[lilac flame]

Does anyone know about a solution or if there's a way to contact the devs to recover it?

[true steeple]

No, but you can block while you have the bubble and block force will be used

[cold crater]

Of the item holding?
And if you dont block is there knockback?

[true steeple]

The item you’re holding is what’s used to block. All the bubble does is set damage to 0, I don’t think there’s any knockback applied to the enemy otherwise.

[cold crater]

You could use dev commands to cheat it in again, no need to contact the devs

[lilac flame]

Thanks. I didn't find anything in the community hub on steam but I will check again.

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer console 🙂

[lilac flame]

Thank you ! 😊

[frail cave]

top 3 must land weapons? i just made the himminafl and a frost staff and have a decent amount left over. had the frostner but lost it on the edge of the map so what do you guys reccomend?

[buoyant peak]

Mistwalker

[sly lagoon]

Good morning fellow Vikings,
I wish to buy some b-day gifts from merch store, but I dont know why there is valheim.com and valheimgame.com, I do not know which to trust?

[true steeple]

The merch store link in-game leads to https://valheim.shop

[sly lagoon]

Thank you

[little trench]

before ashlands?
staff of protection - staff of embers - himminafl

if only melee: himminafl - mistwalker/frostner - whatever highest bow

[true steeple]

A bow for only melee?

[gilded ridge]

Before ashland for melee himminafl is enough, but if you can't parry some attack with it use shield+mistwalker. for magic staff of protection+staff of embers is enough. don't spam staff of ember, just let the enemy burned to death

[frosty frost]

Nah, rolling Is better than parrying for atgeirs 🙂

(IF you need to block or dodge that is, the greatest asset it the spin attack 😁)

[true steeple]

Jumping is better than rolling if the hitbox can be jumped over

[coral wharf]

Frostner xd (yeah mistwalker is a bit better but if I had to pick one - frostner gives enough crowd control to be the single safest weapon there)

• yeah polearms are not for parrying - u shouldn't rly use right-click with polearms, just leftMB and MMB with occasional dodgeroll

[coral wharf]

Until you get screwed by terrain - enemy standing just slightly bit higher than u'd expect...
Yeah I do the jump dodges all the time too but dodge is just more reliable - if you get the timing right Ur safe, jumps have to many variables imo... (So agains bigger threats that can possibly 1-tap you I'd say dogderolls are better)

[little trench]

problem w roll is you are stuck in animation and might get punished as ur iframe ends

• use more stamina

[tired root]

Did you have "You have the chills" event?

If you did, then he didn't get to despawn after the event ended because he got aggroed by other mobs nearby.

[cedar lodge]

yup, that may be it, i found surtlings wandering around b.f. from a raid at least one in game-week prior, looking on wiki/guide it says that raid mobs "try to despawn" after events end, but got multiple cases like this (also blobs/oozers and bats for sure)

you mean that there never was one in that world/area? that would be strange

[stoic trench]

Maybe he fell out of his dungeon?

[frosty frost]

Is there a mountain nearby with the howling cavern perhaps? Sometime stuff can fall from the dungeons since they are high up in the sky

[cedar lodge]

oh right, happened to me with tetra fish

[stoic trench]

I’ve left sunken crypts and found iron around lol I assume from a scrap pile that I mined but the iron clipped through the bottom

[cedar lodge]

oh, sure, always 2/3 extra iron scraps around the swamp when you exit the crypt

ok "long time ago" is ok, experienced "leftovers" from raids happened multiple in-game days prior, shared server? maybe happened to other players in roughly the same area?

boss progression doesn't matter in this case, Geirrhafa events start to happen when you bring the silver chest to Hildir, if one of those event ever happened near your b.f. base he could be a "event leftover" strolling around in areas far from mountains

[jade olive]

I want to know since mistlands was added we now have land that can't be cultivated. It now shows up a little in the meadows. Some times you can fix it. But what I get in the plains is this weird mess. It's kinda funny so is this where the map graphics meet and this no cultivation glitch shows up. Was just wondering.

[primal galleon]

Pretty sure this type of thing is a bug that accidentally popped up at some point. Hopefully it gets fixed for 1.0

[orchid matrix]

How can I beat ghosts easily?

[marble roost]

Ghosts are pretty strong. Torches work well against them though. Definitely dont use knife or spear. Try to parry them to get good damage in

[frail cave]

uncultivateable land outside of mistlands showed up around areas that were terraformed in any way before the mistlands update.
these dirt line eyesores showed up with the ashlands update in both old and new chunks/worlds and gosh i hope they're fixed soon haha

[lilac coyote]

As something that doesn't affect new maps I imagine this is WAY down the priority list.

[frosty frost]

It does tho, at least i think i did see it on my.

[orchid matrix]

Wait torches?

[frosty frost]

Map made not even a month ago iirc, still has them 🙂

[marble roost]

Torches. Pretty good against ghosts

Unless you mean wraiths, in which case any bronze or iron weapon should be pretty good

[robust pivot]

why is this happening whenever im near a infested mines

i normally get ~150 fps anywhere but mistlands and ~80 while running around in mistlands

[pliant briar]

probbably cuz of the fog effect

[robust pivot]

the fog is fine but the mines make the game unplayable

[little trench]

in burials? u can use stagbreaker and kill them through the door

[buoyant peak]

They have enemies

[jade olive]

Ahhh ok. I can fix them if I want this is just a small one. In my friends they are quite big the lines can go for quite a stretch. In the meadows where rock/dirt meet I get odd scares in the land and I haven't touched the spot but no biggie. Thx to both for the answer.

[orchid matrix]

ok thx

[orchid matrix]

how to get it?

[minor quarry]

deer trophies, core wood, leather scrap

[robust pivot]

i did the kill enemies command and it killed 2200 enemies

i dont even know here they were

[pliant briar]

poor fella despawned😔

nevermind another one fell in while i was fighting him

[grand ingot]

anyone got some eggs to start a farm. Ill trade for those if needed

[tired root]

Sealed towers have them free. Or if you have defeated Yagluth and found Haldor he sells them.

[grand ingot]

where in sealed towers ?

[true steeple]

There's a chest at the bottom

[grand ingot]

oh alr thanks

[tired root]

Yeah, at the back room where the miniboss is.

[stark dock]

I tried downloading the world files that the host sent me and didn’t seem to work do you have a different way to do it

[jade topaz]

are the deer eating my planted carrots?? i have holes in my planting pattern that weren't there yesterday, my carrot count is off.....

[true steeple]

Deer won't destroy crops because they can't attack, but boars and necks could. All enemies will attack crops if they can see them.

[jade topaz]

its the greylings then

ty, I'm trying to bury a workbench each time its popped, is there a trick?

[tired root]

You cannot bury it a whole. You could place a campfire instead, it has the same radius for spawnproofing and enemy mobs usually won't target them.

[jade topaz]

TY! can the campfire be buried??

[frosty frost]

Yeah, but a tiny bit has to poke through surface still

[jade topaz]

thats the caveat, a tiny lil bit has to be able to breathe?

[tired root]

Well, the campfire doesn't need to be lit to be able to spawnproof.

[gloomy dagger]

DO RATATOSK POTIONS AFFECT YOUR MOVESPEED WHEN RIDING AN ANIMAL?

like a lox, oops caps

[stoic trench]

Don’t think so, no

[gloomy dagger]

how do i best heal a tame lox that im riding around?

its regenerating 0.6 health per sec right now, this is sloow

[frosty frost]

When it eats it should heal

[grand ingot]

at what interval do i need to feed hens ?

[frosty frost]

When there is no more food 🤷‍♂️

[grand ingot]

but like how much time do they take to eat 1 thing

[frosty frost]

1 piece of food will last them 10 minutes

[lilac coyote]

Uninterrupted.

[gloomy dagger]

I fed a lox a berry and it healed 19 health

much later, on a different day, i fed a lox a berry and it healed 493 health, in one tick

what the heck is going on

[frosty frost]

Tbh, no idea. Never looked into how the healing mechanics work for animals.

[dire flax]

local saves on linux are located in /home/.config/unity3d/IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local right? SO WHY ISNT THE WORLD I PUT THERE APPEARING INGAME

ive turned steam cloud save for valheim off, ive moved worlds from cloud to local in an attempt to find where theyre going, nothing

[placid urchin]

im trying to farm stone by breaking the huge pillars in the plains, but when i mine out everything under and on the side it still never breaks, is there a way to prevent it from floating?

[dire flax]

I FOUND IT

wait a minute

it was in the compat data because im running the game through proton instead of native, thats why they werent appearing in the normal spot. im silly

[charred fable]

You still have to break up the bottom part of it.

[jade olive]

Make sure the rock is far enough from the ground and that there are no trees or an structures near it that it might view as support. Some times they pop easy other times they make ya work for it.

[tranquil verge]

What's the best way to transfer characters from Steam Cloud to Xbox Cloud? And is there a way to be able to use them on either platform without transferring?

[gaunt ice]

hey guys

im having this really annoying issue ive built my entire house and i have one single roof peak that refuses to stay due to stability issues

ive tried everything was hoping someone could help im getting hopeless at this point

[agile rapids]

It happens. I have two random iron pillars in the middle of my feasr hall so I don't get wet. Another method is to add slanted beams along the roof and runt hem to the ground

[gaunt ice]

ended up cutting the roof and split it into two halves

that worked lol

[worldly dagger]

I want the magic gears. Anyone could help me out in a server?

[dire flax]

why do my tamed asksvin keep shoving their noses into the walls of the pen like they want to escape

is their pen not big enough? are they trying to go back to where they spawned?

[quasi comet]

its just movement from them... a bigger area might make you see less of that behavior, but its just them choosing where to walk

[dire flax]

how can i avoid them trying to pathfind outside of their pen? is a thin wall causing issues with that? im using grausten walls

[drowsy crane]

It's typical tame behavior no matter the wall thickness tbh, like remix_monkey said, larger pens lower the chance they'll pathfind outside the pen

But it'll still happen

[dire flax]

the pen is a semicircle with the radius of 7 4x2 grausten walls

[drowsy crane]

It can be ideal to keep walls higher than the amount of tames that could stack, or some will get loose

[dire flax]

walls are high enough but i keep having lava slimes jump over and explode the walls or doors and they all run out, or if an enemy gets suspicious and too close to the wall they ram it

i think thicker walls is what i need...

[drowsy crane]

If enemies are that close you'll want to up your spawn prevention radius with campfires or workbenches

[dire flax]

im doing my best on that front, but my construction brings them in from very far away lol

[drowsy crane]

You may want to try boating 2 Asksvin out of the Ashlands, they're much easier to manage anywhere else

[dire flax]

can i raise asksvin eggs elsewhere

[drowsy crane]

Yeah it just needs a fire nearby

Keep a few at the Ashlands base for traversal, and get 2 more back to your main base to help with food 👍

[livid badge]

are spawners bugged? there is always 2 mobs for some reason, 1 die and instantly 1 spawn there is no timer

[drowsy crane]

It's countdown and vicinity based, if there is a max count nearby, the mob will wait to spawn until the area is free.

[livid badge]

thing is, im standing on top of spawner

[worldly dagger]

Is there a way that someone can help me grab magic staves recipes?

[drowsy crane]

Right, so the enemies are in the vicinity of the spawner and clogging up the spawns, so you'll have them waiting to instantly pop in rather than constantly spawning

[drowsy crane]

There's many ways, getting people use their own supplies for that is the tricky part.

[worldly dagger]

If they have stations, could I gain the recipes by interacting with those stations?

[drowsy crane]

Nope

[worldly dagger]

Awww

[drowsy crane]

It'd just be best to get the materials yourself tbh, if you're having problems with the difficulty you can always modify the world settings to your liking

[dire flax]

any ways to remove this thing

[drowsy crane]

I don't think so, but you could always dig a hole and cover it with a foundation or something

[dire flax]

do they sink like stumps do? ive got one in the mountains thats floating midair

[drowsy crane]

Honestly not too sure, you could always repair the ground if it doesn't sink, worth a shot though

[noble vault]

It has a set height it'll spawn at, and always sinks to any 'ground' (so it won't settle on anything you build). But every time you load it in, it'll stay where it is before sinking to the ground level. So if you portal nearby, you'll be able to see it for like 10-15 seconds and then it'll just sort of sink through your build.

[worldly dagger]

How to get a boat?

[tired root]

You need to craft ||nails||.

[worldly dagger]

Oh…

That’s still a mystery for me…

[willow raft]

You'll need to kill the first boss, you'll get some drops that will help you make tools to help you further along into the next biome where you can then find materials to make nails with.

[worldly dagger]

Thank you!

[worldly dagger]

Where would the swamp located?

[tired root]

You gotta search a bit further from centre, probably by sailing in most cases. When you see high dead looking trees and swallow land you have found some.

[worldly dagger]

How do I plant seeds?

[true steeple]

Make a cultivator with bronze

[worldly dagger]

Oh ok

Does bonemass give a smelter?

[compact heath]

No comes from dungeons in black forest the unlock

you should not be in swamp yet if you don't have a smelter

[worldly dagger]

Oh ok

[compact heath]

killed first boss now yeah?

[worldly dagger]

Yes

[compact heath]

okay, second boss is in forest

[true steeple]

It's best to stay out of biomes until killing the previous boss, so don't go into swamps until killing the second boss

[compact heath]

and there are 2 types of dungeons in the black forest, one can have things to unlock smelter

if you have made the pickaxe, there are things to use that on in the black forest, for progressing further

[worldly dagger]

Second boss would be…?

[true steeple]

The Elder

[compact heath]

its called The Elder

[worldly dagger]

Oh ok.

Where would it be?

[compact heath]

Black Forest

[true steeple]

You can find a vegvisir at various locations in a black forest

[compact heath]

quite likely to find his location in one of the bigger dungeons in the black forest

[worldly dagger]

Oh I saw it now

[compact heath]

the vegvisir = marker that shows you where he is

before you head there I recommend mining a bit and doing some of the black forest dungeons

[worldly dagger]

Ok

[compact heath]

you'll unlock a lot of things every biome except meadows as thats just the beginning / tutorial biome and there are not that many things to find there as in other biomes (still quite some things but nowhere near as much as in biome 2 and 3

[low kite]

I was in the swamp a moment ago and noticed my carry weight was 600??? but now I've entered a crypt and its back down to 450 like expected???

[true steeple]

Did you have corpse run?

[compact heath]

if you picked up your dead body you get a temp buff to carry weight from corpse run buff

and if you have 450 you probably have the belt, which is one of the ways to increase carry weight from the base 300

[low kite]

ohh. thats maybe a neat strat....

[coral wharf]

Yes and no xd

[compact heath]

there is another way to get to 600 in 3rd biome

not extremely cheap and easy though

actually even more than 600

[coral wharf]

Your carry weight goes back to normal as soon as the "corpse run" ends... -> it's easy to get encumbered mid fight/while getting chased

[compact heath]

can get to 700 if you include belt, but only for 5 mins (without the corpse run shenanigans)

[compact heath]

this is true

[compact heath]

there is better strats

[coral wharf]

That's why I usually turn off auto-pick-up while having corpse run as that lil situation is very annoying... (Default toggle for auto-pick-up is V)

[coral wharf]

So the weight aspect of corpse run is... Meh. Although you can kinda use it as a combat buff (u also get dmg reduction, HP regen, stamina efficiency) before a big fight. I've seen some ppl use that to create multiple graves around a boss location and then fight the boss while having "constant" buff (they just refresh it picking up 1 grave at a time, this graves can contain like 1 berry each - sth stackable and lightweight)

And you loose skills only once if u prepare well while creating a graveyard as the no-skill loss applies there 🤷

[compact heath]

BigCheese that I would not tell every super new player imho

[coral wharf]

My bad xd

But I've seen some ppl crying about the "F"-last boss. How it should be nerfed etc... Sooo maybe that'd spread inspiration to work their way around hard fight without the need to nerf the boss xd

[compact heath]

7th boss imo easier than 6th, some people agree with me some don't haha

[coral wharf]

And that's basically how humans won the evolution - we have the brains to come up with the weirdest and cruelest exploits xd

[true steeple]

That sixth boss is the one one that's killed me

[compact heath]

200 2* Asks, easy!

[coral wharf]

Some don't, but I think Ur onto something

Definitely it's more "cancer" to fight against

[compact heath]

6th boss can't be cheesed with tames for a start

[coral wharf]

Especially when I was doing hard-combat and VH, as my experience was :
getting 1-2 hits -> boss runs away -> spawns tokens -> uses ranged attack -> before I'm done with the tokens it can spawn them again -> 1 hit on the boss if I can find it -> repeat

And that takes ages xd

[compact heath]

VH is almost a different game though, so many things are different

no parry god-play

[coral wharf]

To the point I had to TP out to repair my stuff as I broke almost every weapon while cleaving through that... (And also restore rested a couple of times)

[coral wharf]

Yup, that's either bow, polearm, or souls like rolling xd

[true steeple]

Or jumping

[compact heath]

I thought that uses more stam

[tired root]

Jumping costs less than rolling.

[true steeple]

Rolling uses 50% more stamina than jumping

[coral wharf]

Actually it doesn't, but u can't dodge everything with that

[compact heath]

ah okay good to know

[coral wharf]

F.ex. 6th boss attacks are too big

[true steeple]

Jumping allows you to start an attack while dodging, and lets you control where you move

[tired root]

Blobi is a jumping expert.

[compact heath]

I've been in the wilderness for 3 days so couldnt remember which one was more costly in stam

[coral wharf]

U can pick the roll direction tho 😂

[compact heath]

and i know some things can't be jumped but can be rolled through

[coral wharf]

So it allows u controll as well

[true steeple]

Once you do that you can't change your movement until the animation finishes

[coral wharf]

• Rolling also pushes through more stuff - narrow spots between tall enemies if u get surrounded

[compact heath]

I've only played once on VH and once on Hard, I prefer Normal, am not a souls-legend

[coral wharf]

Yeah I've seen u typing that about jumping 100 times dude

And I also use that, but I won't agree that jumping is straight up better, just situational

[thorn nacelle]

Is it possible to bind rolling to a button? Because having to block first is kind of annoying

[compact heath]

only with #mods-discussion

[thorn nacelle]

Thanks, although I think it just be in vanilla as well

[dawn matrix]

how do i fix this its been like this for a long time

when i join my world or any my friends world the screen becomes black and i can see the chat thats it

[little trench]

lmao

[grand ingot]

lf anyone that could help me do the Queen boss in the mistlands

[little trench]

use magic. shoot fireballs and run

you can just run around the pillar at the entrance for the entire fight and win

keep bubble up (jump + activate mid air)

[grand ingot]

alr ill try

[little trench]

the top part of the arena has no mist btw

[frosty frost]

But still keep the wisplight for the extra bit of light and mist clearing 🙂

[wanton dagger]

hello everyone i need help to instal mods in server on datahost anybady help ?

[lilac coyote]

#mods-discussion or #mods-issues would be a good place to look.

[wanton dagger]

this isproblem

[frosty frost]

This channel is for helping with vanilla valhiem. 🙂 The channels Derek linked will most likely be able to help you.

[wind marsh]

what is this creepy figure that spawned on the right of the screen?

[true steeple]

That's Odin, he doesn't do anything except watch you.

[wind marsh]

Would I be able to fight him later

Cuz he freakin me out

[true steeple]

No, you work for him

[wind marsh]

Ok no more spoilures

[cold crater]

Are there other potions that increase the chance of a star creature like the potion that attracts star trolls?
I have yet to find a 2 star wolf(yes i searched at night)

[true steeple]

No, we only have the love potion for trolls.

[cold crater]

😦

[frosty frost]

No

[coral wharf]

potion - no
"a way" - yes -> the combat difficulty setting actually affects the "lvl up" (gaining a star) rates of spawning mobs (on very hard combat they have 1,4x multiplier for lvl up)

• disclaimer - they will most likely 1-shot you, like a lot of different things on very hard. Mobs also get faster then. Apply on your own responsibility xd

[winged schooner]

I am stuck on portals. I have all the materials needed to build one, but I dont have the recipe... what am I missing?

[true steeple]

So you have finewood, surtling cores and greydwarf eyes? It's in the first tab of the build menu.

[winged schooner]

correct

all 3 of those items, and in the Misc menu

[true steeple]

Try dropping and picking up all of those items

[cold crater]

Try going close to a workbench while holding all of them

[winged schooner]

just did both, neither works

wait, there it goes

not sure which of those 2 did it, but one did!

[cold crater]

Awesome

[winged schooner]

ty much!

[cold crater]

There is nothing suggesting something like that in the wiki

[lilac coyote]

That's because it doesn't. Day and night are always the same length.

[stray siren]

can i get the recipe for the dvergr chest at all? it looks really cool

[cedar lodge]

nups, not buildable.. agree on coolnes

[stray siren]

tragic

[short cosmos]

yeah u can make a macro and bind it on one of ur mouse buttons

[pastel drum]

Does anyone know how well valheim preforms on an M3 MacBook Pro? In a real play through? Please @me if you do

[icy patrol]

how do i deal with this guy 😭

[quasi comet]

punch em

[icy patrol]

already tried

[quasi comet]

also frost resist pots

[stoic trench]

He’s pretty tough, requires careful planning and positioning for sure

I would recommend at least mountain-tier armor personally

[quasi comet]

^

[true steeple]

Be careful of the AOE attack which can't be rolled through

[icy patrol]

ah so silver im cooked. welp better run for my life

[quasi comet]

you dont even have wolf cape, helps with the cold

[icy patrol]

im using frost resist mead

[true steeple]

Frost resistance mead and wolf cape don't stack so either is fine

[quasi comet]

o

[icy patrol]

just gonna run for it come back later

[true steeple]

Resistances can only stack if one is on a shield and one is somewhere else

[quasi comet]

root mask and poison mead stack tho

[stoic trench]

Is Geirhaffa weak to silver?

[icy patrol]

I hope so

[stoic trench]

I know regular cultists are

[quasi comet]

weak to fire

[icy patrol]

Ah so my flame bow

[quasi comet]

hes a cold boi

[icy patrol]

What about obsidian or poison arrows

[quasi comet]

normal dmg effects, only weak to fire

[icy patrol]

Damn

[true steeple]

They don’t, the mead’s very resistant damage modifier is used.

[frosty frost]

They will do more dmg than fire arrows even tho he is weak to fire.
The same case as Moder.

[quasi comet]

gotcha

[shut raptor]

can someone help me, so i think around a year ago or 2

my world crashed most likely due to me cutting down trees (i forgot the reason why i crashed)

the world had cheats, when it crashed it reverted back to the point where i recently started using cheats in that world

my character is still the same and i think theres still the same waypoints on the map (i forgot, i haven't played valheim or that world in a bit)

yes, i tried reloading the old files but it says meta file missing

i wouldn't be surprised if theres no way to get back my files/saves

steam btw

real

i forgot 2023 was 2 years ago

[mellow yarrow]

can i put chickens with loxes?

[true steeple]

If the loxes are tamed, yes

[shut raptor]

anyone please

[icy patrol]

whats a good melee weapon for the mountains

[true steeple]

Iron mace is best for stone golems, and anything made from iron will be good enough for wolves. The iron sledge and atgeir have large hitboxes that are useful for hitting multiple wolves at once

[icy patrol]

bet bet i was thinking the crystal axe but the mace been doing wonders

[true steeple]

The crystal axe is great for the next biome’s Fulings. Flesh rippers are a great option too

[shut raptor]

am i suppose to put this in the #steam-bugs-discussion

[fallen lantern]

even tho part of its damage is distributed to spirit element?

[true steeple]

Silver weapons still have good against enemies that are immune to spirit

[short cosmos]

silver sword could honestly be the final sword weapon u make in the game tbh

[dire flax]

what item gives you the recipe for the force field no rain thingie

[true steeple]

Craft a shield core at a level 2 artisan table

[dire flax]

i see. dont have any artisan table upgrades unlocked at the moment

[true steeple]

Have you killed the queen?

[dire flax]

nope

we're exploring ashlands but havent killed either boss, and havent entered any structures in ashlands other than the morgen grottos and the shrines on the surface with teleporter cores

mostly just wanted to know if it was something i missed or just haven found yet

[noble cove]

I need some help from honestly anyone. My buddy and I are having a hard time playing together. Whenever he tries to connect to my game, whether i make it a community server or not he gets a pop up saying, "Failed to connect" and whenever I try to connect to his server, no matter if it's community or not, it gives me "Incompatible Version". Anyone have any idea how to fix these? I've reinstalled and verified files but nothing works.

If this is the wrong chat, let me know

[buoyant peak]

Then how did you reach ashlands?

And yes, you missed something: Killing the previous boss for the drop

[dire flax]

boat apparently, i wasnt the one that discovered the land, i just used a teleporter

we havent killed the queen yet because times when more than 2 people are on are few and far between

so ive been wandering around, exploring, making little outposts

[buoyant peak]

Skipping biomes/tiers at first game is certainly not recommended

[dire flax]

hah

this is my first time playing and i was taming wolves through pure determination and lots of campfires before we had killed the elder

[lilac coyote]

That would explain a lot of the problems you're having.

[dire flax]

they didnt live long (stone golems) but i did tame a couple

[true steeple]

In our first playthrough, my friend cleared a fuling camp and tamed loxes before we killed the elder, and that biome became completely white on his map

[dire flax]

oh no doubt about it im doing some things out of order- but thats fun for me

thank you for answering my question though

[short cosmos]

kill the ashlands boss first (||Fader||), then mistlands (||Queen||) and so on, much more fun that way imo

[lilac coyote]

It's a good challenge after a few runs, sure.

[desert monolith]

If you’ve skipped bosses then you’re going to be missing a lot of key items that would naturally make your play better.

If you can’t get all your friends online at the one time, you can always just kill bosses multiple times in smaller groups. Skipping the boss to the next content on your first play through is just going to cause you confusion…

[frail cave]

Is their anyway to download existing worlds?

[quasi comet]

yes? but it would help if you were more specific about what you mean

[gritty warren]

VPN can sometimes be a problem too, what platforms do you guys use?

[wind leaf]

Why can't I craft flint arrows?

[compact heath]

Have you picked up all 3 ingredients and is your workbench level 2?

[wind leaf]

Ah no how do I upgrade my workbench?

[compact heath]

in the crafting tab with the hammer you should be able to have something right next to the workbench that you can place

[wind leaf]

Ok

[compact heath]

chopping block is the first one you unlock

[coarse flax]

I wandered into a mountain biome from the dark forest....ouch

I was like 'ahhh how hard can it be, a wolfskin rug would look great!'

[edgy warren]

I am owner and admin of a Valheim server--shared server, not single player--hosted on Nitrado.
How can I stop raids in Valheim?

[compact heath]

World modifier - Raids: None (on my Server Hosting Provider its called "Raids modifier": None

[ruby comet]

I am considering getting a troll staff, but before i invest in that can you have both a troll and skeletons active or do they kill each other?

[drowsy crane]

The Troll attacks everything, even you

[ruby comet]

oh, do you find the troll useful then?

[drowsy crane]

Absolutely

[ruby comet]

ok ill try it thanks

[drowsy crane]

Just be aware it summons alongside a giant meteor and destroys things on impact, which can be useful in itself

[ruby comet]

sounds exciting lol

[icy patrol]

About to fight moder any advice

i got poison arrows my draugr bow and my wolf cape

[drowsy crane]

If you're alone you may want to make a little dugout under the summoning altar for emergencies

[icy patrol]

ty ty gonna do that now

This all i got is it enough

[drowsy crane]

You may want more arrows, Obsidian Arrows are handily found in the mountains, as well as a better melee weapon like a Silver Sword or Crystal Battleaxe

[icy patrol]

oh gotcha gotcha

[drowsy crane]

Also you can never go wrong with using mead, Tasty Mead is especially useful

[icy patrol]

i got some stored away

[edgy warren]

Thank you for your reply. That sound promising, but can you give me a little more context? Where are you entering that parameter setting? Are you entering a console command? If so, what is the command? Or are you editing a file? If so, what is the file path and file name starting from the server's root directory? Also, what server hosting provider are you using?

[compact heath]

It should be in the portal from you’re hosting provider to set this, mine is a different one than yours

[livid badge]

is mountain usually this small?

[edgy warren]

Sorry, but I'm still not getting it. What do you mean "the portal from my hosting provider"? I am using Nitrado and considering moving over to Apex. The only way I know to modify these sorts of settings is through console commands or by editing configuration files in the server file system. Perhaps your hosting provider provides additional tools for managing Valheim servers. Can you tell me what hosting provider you're using so I can contact them to get more information about their "portals" and what features they provide? Thank you

[compact heath]

You can't contact a provider you're not using, do you have a website where you log in to update your server or to restart it etc when not ingame?

when you log into Nitrado you should be able to have a tab with your valheim server and then there should be somehting about world modifiers there somewhere

we should also go to #dedicated-server

[gilded ridge]

Maybe because you still in spawn radius area. explore more with boat, you will find bigger mountain biome

[livid badge]

ok, ill try explorijng that east side then

[gilded ridge]

good luck my friend, when sailling you can see like shadow or silhouette of mountain

[edgy warren]

Yes, in the Nitrado web interface, I can drill down to pages that apply specifically to my server, but unless I'm missing something, Nitrado does not support a way to modify world modifiers through those pages, however you've made me aware that some other hosting service may provide that capability. Thank you for your help

[compact heath]

I use gportal, maybe contact nitrado and ask them where to do that

[edgy warren]

I'll do that. Thank you. Looking at gportal's web site now.

[sour quiver]

Are there any way to improve performance on mac? Im getting like 20fps

[halcyon crag]

frustratingly more often than not, finding larger mountain ranges can take a lot of time by boat/raft (i once explored 80 frost caves on a map by raft 😩 ) best way to find them is to use commands and fly around to save time though i know this isn't always an option for everyone

[primal venture]

Hi guys, I already got the wishbone but I traveled around the whole island but I didn't find anything. Is there a way to understand even from afar where the vein is? Thank you

[true steeple]

What are you looking for? Silver? It can be found on tall mountains, at a similar height to obsidian.

[primal venture]

yes silver I have already searched the whole mountain but I haven't read any signs do you have any advice?

[true steeple]

Try another mountain? How big was it?

Did you find obsidian while you were there?

[primal venture]

I only have one in the mountains so do I have to change island?

[true steeple]

If you are sure there is no silver, yes.

[primal venture]

and small let's say medium size now I try in the swamp so that it can sometimes be found there

strange that it isn't there because I found many copper veins in the forest

[coral wharf]

The silver can spawn in the mountains only if the mountain is high enough

[primal venture]

ok

[coral wharf]

When you find a high mountain - you can see the frost caves and obsidian spawning -> above those lvl you can start looking for silver

Below the "obsidian lvl" there is no point looking

Try also searching more of this plateaus - flat'ish surfaces

After a while you will get a feel of where to look for

[gilded ridge]

Patrol the mountains area. Usually silver veins on nearby big boulder rock (sometime in flat terain on mountain). If you already patrol the area and got zero beeb from wishbone, you should change to another mountaine biome

[coral wharf]

If u can't see obsidian lying around, don't even try looking for silver u'll just waste time

[gilded ridge]

Tbh i'll never look the obsidian. Just running

[coral wharf]

Well then if u are exploring sure
If u r looking purposely for silver - go up, when u see obsidian, go just slightly higher - next plateau above first obsidian (silver spawns under ground there has to be enough space underground that is also high enough) and then start looking for it

On my last 3 worlds I managed to find a node on 1-2 try using stagbreaker - no wishbone

And last time when I needed some more I had 3/4 success rate with stagbreaker at finding them, just by applying that rule

[echo ether]

Is there a specific section in this server that is for people that want to play together?

Just looking for some peeps to play with

[echo ether]

Thanks

[grand ingot]

seems like lord reto is not in his dedicated cave, is it a bug ?

[night crow]

I have killed the first boss and build all items. Idk what to do next? how to locate next boss and how to get more stuff blueprint?

[true steeple]

Craft a pickaxe with Eikthyr's antlers and hugin will explain the rest

[echo sparrow]

it's time to find the next biome (this will be a recurring theme)

[night crow]

Ok thanks guys but black forest are hard to kill its enemy. There is good way to kill them?

[little trench]

whats the problem specifically? too many greydwarves?

[low kite]

Step 1: get gud

[night crow]

to many of them yes and the harder one also

[little trench]

yea sometimes u need to kite a bit and find a small window to sneak in hits. i recommend using a shield and trying to parry + block stuff. NOT from the brute tho

[frosty frost]

You could also carry a torch with you 🙂 normal greydwarfs are afraid of fire

[night crow]

thanks m8

i will notice that

[echo sparrow]

the power curve of new biomes, esp. new players, starts like brick wall but as you progress in gear & food quality it eases up drastically and as you get more familiar with mechanics at least in my personal experience the 'shock' is worst going in to biomes 2 & 3

and maybe to an extent 5

[lilac coyote]

Going to be a short stay, huh?

[frosty frost]

Are you playing the game for the first time or the hard difficulty for the first time?

[echo sparrow]

this felt very accurate when I first saw it

[frosty frost]

Then i can recommend going with the normal difficulty 🙂 that is how the first experience should be

[true steeple]

It will get much harder in later biomes

[frosty frost]

Also you can turn it back to harder wwhenever you want if you feel its too easy 😄

[little trench]

yea hard/very hard is like that. dont get hit

Fire arrows are also effective against them.

[stoic trench]

Alright I gotta hop in and say this- no way Link would struggle in Lordran 😅 (that meme is extremely funny though!)

[echo sparrow]

LOL

[edgy vortex]

Does anyone have some ideas or suggestions for reducing or eliminating server lag on a dedicated server? I have one through Hostari. I know its due to how the game is coded and utilizes client-side processing even when using a dedicated server. I've seen some things like increasing the server send rate but Id like to hear how others have maybe alleviated this?

[coral wharf]

Upgrade your shield and weapons too!! Wood shield triples the block armor value with upgrades. Flint spear in lv3 can easily stagger greydwarfes by MMB throw (you can then run up picking up the spear and finish then off with 1 melee hit)

• lvl 3 wooden shield with a bit of armor and blocking exp allows you to parry the brute too

[devout onyx]

Any1 know why my chickens just stands in a corner. I had to build my Iron fence all the way to the roof or else they parkoured over the previous fence

[solemn needle]

Wish I knew this too, because my chickens bunch up at one end of the coop and push each other out of the corner

[stoic trench]

Just kinda their thing, they like corners
Often times, real chickens do the same thing lol

[echo sparrow]

quantum tunneling chicken

[devout onyx]

Yup, I just found a random chicken out and about now.. They seem to be able to portal out 😛

[shut raptor]

can someone help me with this

[frosty frost]

No idea what meta file is. 🤷‍♂️

[shut raptor]

one must imagine me happy

sisyphus

[cold crater]

whats that?

what item would i need?

[frosty frost]

Altar for resummoning the queen 🙂

[cold crater]

i guessed so, seeker trophy?

[frosty frost]

Seeker soldier trophy. 🙂

[cold crater]

mmh never got one of those

how many?

[frosty frost]

3

[cold crater]

goddamn

[frosty frost]

If you can find the other queens you can just use sealbreaker 🙂

[honest cedar]

this is a big ass buckler, is it meant to be that large lol

[true steeple]

It's a shield, not a buckler

[frosty frost]

Indeed it is meant to be that large as it is not a buckler 😉

[honest cedar]

Ah yea technically its a shield, but still parries, which is cool

[frosty frost]

All round shields do parry tho

The bucklers just parry better and block worse than them

[honest cedar]

Yea I have the carapace buckler for normal fighting, but since I can't parry bonus bosses, grabbed this for Fader

[coral wharf]

You can "parry bonus" a boss

[frosty frost]

But no stagger from parrying unfortunately

[coral wharf]

Parry bonus (armor value) applies whenever you press your right click right before getting attacked : and that means u get your SHIELDS ARMOR that is multiplied by the PARRY BONUS. You do get that against the boss, the only thing is that the boss is not getting staggered while you do so, and doesn't get exposed to that extra dmg

So that : carapace buckler Vs flametal shield

• buckler has less armor but 2,5x parry bonus -> when you get that the total amount is higher
• flametal shield -> saves your ass more whenever you "misstime" the parry and press to early as the flat armor value is better

And for that stagger bonus dmg on mobs - it's flat 2x (no matter the parry bonus, or how you managed to get the mob staggered)

[placid urchin]

can you tame a boar if its frightened ?

[frosty frost]

No, it has to be calm

[placid urchin]

alright thanks

[heady atlas]

why is harpooning the serpent so much of a hassle for the damn scales

[agile rapids]

Cuz it's epic af

Does ratatosk/fenris increase cart hauling speed?

[boreal plover]

im thinking of buying the game, but i have a few questions. i heard mobs dont drop loot, so how do u go about getting better gear?

[livid badge]

how do i defeat stone golem jesus im getting cancer too fast and cant parry

tried circling him with eikthyr buff still too fast

[livid badge]

craft

[tired root]

Mobs don't drop stuff like weapons or equipment, but materials for you to craft them yourself.

[frosty frost]

Mobs do drop loot... Where did you hear this?

[boreal plover]

reddit. but i didnt read much into it. i guess i just saw "gear" and assumed loot in general

[frosty frost]

There is only 1 dlc and it cant be bought

[boreal plover]

hows the singleplayer? is it fun?

[frosty frost]

Ah, ofcourse there... Oh well, they do drop materials 🙂 and yes singleplayer is fun as it is primarly singleplayer game that has co-op option to play with friends if you want

no

[boreal plover]

gotcha, cheers

[buoyant peak]

Anything that increases move speed does

[lilac coyote]

It can't be bought, no.

Again, no, it can't.

Please stop spreading misinformation. The 'DLC' was a reward for those who participated in the beta and is NOT available.

[tired root]

Even if the items can be spawned with Devcommands you cannot use them if you were not in beta.

[lilac coyote]

a) I'm not and b) You're being neither ironic nor humorous. Just inaccurate.

[tired root]

This is public server. Anyone can participate.

[livid badge]

is this game still beta?

surely we dont get reset on release right?

[true steeple]

No, it hasn't been in beta since early access released in 2021

[livid badge]

ahh ok

[lilac coyote]

Things are only 'reset' if you choose to do so.

[frosty frost]

Why would you reply to Derek when talking to yourself? 🤔

How very kind of you ☺️

[stoic trench]

Gotta be at least a little weird to invest over 500 hours in Valheim

[cedar lodge]

uh-oh looks at own Valheim hour count on steam 🥴

[tough hare]

So what if you're close to 1500 hrs?
Does that mean one having that is a little bit more weird?

[stoic trench]

Maybe 500 is weird, 1000 is strange, 1500 is mad 🤔

I’m so close to being strange 😭

[real rover]

Hi i wanted to ask if there is a way to get Odin gear, i bought valheim on release but used school email that got deleted later

[lilac coyote]

You might need to write to IG about that one. I think people who genuinely earned it have been able to retrieve it in the past.

[real rover]

Thanks

Just recently discovered its in the game

[livid badge]

are there window in valheim or u just custom build it?

[drowsy crane]

There are shutters, also crystal glass blocks, but most will build their own, and usually look better when custom-made.

[cedar lodge]

not sure to understand what you mean..
there are window shutter pieces as soon as you start mining copper, still you have to work holes in walls by placing and distancing smaller wall pieces accordingly..
if you mean bigger wall pieces with window holes already carved in you'll have to wait much later in game progression (||Ashland's grausten build pieces||)

[livid badge]

oh well, im still in mountain

[cedar lodge]

so it will be shutters + playing around with 1x1 and 1x2 wall pieces to create a gap to shut

[livid badge]

Is there a way to make golems not spawn anymore so u can build house in mountain? also ty Becchi

[jade topaz]

ummm i seem to remember there was a chair you didn't build because it blocked the buff from another chair that was better??

[ruby comet]

Do vineberries not grow back? once picked its over?

[icy patrol]

how do i make the black metal armor and weapons. when i go to my forge it doesnt show up even though i have the materials

[cold crater]

I dont think a black metal armor exists, the new armor in plains is the ||padded set|| you need ||iron|| and ||linen thread||

[icy patrol]

oh ok wait what about the weapons ? and where can i get|| linen thread ||

[cold crater]

You need ||flax|| (found in the new enemy camps) and a new machine
For some tools you also need the ||thread|| and some tools like the pickaxe get unlocked in the next biome

[icy patrol]

oh ok ty ty

[desert monolith]

As in you participated in the beta; or you bought it on Steam when the game released in early access to everyone?

[cedar lodge]

You can trap them, make a steep hole in the ground, deep and big enough to contain it. You can either:

• aggro the golem and jump in the hole, give couple more pickaxe hits when it stands on the edge and quickly jump out as it falls in
  -build a floor to cover the hole and deconstruct it when it stands on it

As long as it stays trapped and alive it will prevent more spawns and let you mine/build in relative safety.

[livid badge]

will my character get deleted if i click new?

[tired root]

How about... around 2500? Asking for a friend. 👀

[tired root]

No it won't.

[livid badge]

thanks man

[tired root]

You can switch characters with those arrows around character name.

[livid badge]

[cedar lodge]

Well... Is this friend here with us? In this room?

[tired root]

Might or might not lol.

[worldly dagger]

What can I do with spinning wheels and windmills?

[true steeple]

You can put barley and flax in them to create new materials. You can find these in fuling camps.

[worldly dagger]

Oh nice

[sleek herald]

Is it bad my first read of this was "how can I exploit moving parts to gamebreaking effect"?

[worldly dagger]

Oh 😅 i guess it’s my bad

[worldly dagger]

How do I get ||black forge||?

[true steeple]

You need to progress into the sixth biome, mistlands, and explore the dungeons there

[worldly dagger]

Oh wow… so after ||yaluth|| I could go into mistland?

[true steeple]

Yes

[tired root]

Yeah, his drops will help tremendously navigating in Mistlands.

[worldly dagger]

Thank you for the tip

[coral wharf]

You can go there before, but it's

• ill-advised for the 1st playthrough
• ill-advised if your not experienced enough to navigate and fight in mistlands "in the dark" - having 3m vision range

[halcyon crag]

[coral wharf]

insert "goooood" palpatine meme

[little trench]

wait wym? you think he should end his playthrough when the only next step is mistlands?

[worldly dagger]

I mean ashland is the one after mistland.

[true steeple]

You shouldn't go to mistlands before yagluth on your first playthrough

[worldly dagger]

I still need black metal gears for the mist biome.

I can find flax in plains biome right?

[true steeple]

It can appear in the farms and chests of a fuling camp

[worldly dagger]

Oh ok.

Is there a way to keep a character file safe locally?

Like I don’t want that character to somehow lost due to errors.

[true steeple]

Characters and worlds are backed up automatically, you can find these backups with the manage saves button on character or world select

[coral wharf]

I mean you don't have to kill yag to go in mistlands, but it's not the best idea bcs of those 2 reasons

[little trench]

oh i didnt understand that he asked that

[coral wharf]

Bcs it is totally possible to clear mistlands with no wisp, just a bit harder

[little trench]

have u done it?

[coral wharf]

Yes more than once

But I started 1st time on my 3rd playthrough tho

[little trench]

ya same, its like with wishbone for me, i just skip wisplight. crazy how doable it is

[coral wharf]

On very-hard combat as it didn't rly matter there, almost everything 1-taps you... Doesn't matter if it's a seeker or a fuling

So I figured I'll rush the protection staff as soon as I got blackmetal

[little trench]

have u tried to rush magic? like speedrun to it

[coral wharf]

Wish bone has less value compared to wisp imo tho

It's super easy to find silver when you know where to look for

[worthy bear]

My mead ketill that I put on top of the hearth keeps getting destroyed every few minutes. Is there a fix for it?

[coral wharf]

U do HAVE to kill moder for that tho, so idk how much of a "rush" that is

[little trench]

ya

[frosty frost]

It should not break, id doesent take fire dmg from it 🤔

[little trench]

the earliest ive gotten magic is day 72

[frosty frost]

Can you show us the placement?

[coral wharf]

Hard to tell what's going wrong there.... Any mods? Maybe u r placing it to close to the edge? Maybe Ur placing it to close to a wall resulting in it having no connection to the hearth - stone support?

[coral wharf]

Hmmm I haven't payed attention to that... Altho rn I am heading towards moder with silver/root/fenris stuff at day 30-40

[little trench]

i wish some speedrunners did that, because i love magic and would love to get it asap

[coral wharf]

So I guess that if I rly wanted to rush that I can get magic in no time if I get lucky with the seed

[worthy bear]

I am playing vanilla right now. That's what I thought at first so I tried to put it near the center but still the same result. It doesn't break when there is camp fire underneath, just when put on hearth.

[coral wharf]

But I usually make a big progress stop around moder - that's usually when I unlock everything I want to build a nice looking base - so I stay there building for... Well too long usually xd

[coral wharf]

Then - how is your hearth supported?

I you don't have enough support under your hearth (it's red when you hover your hammer) everything placed on it will get destroyed

[worthy bear]

It's on stone floors that are on the ground

[coral wharf]

Hmmm, make sure the stone floors are actually connected to the ground below (they will be blue under hammer if they r anchored to terrain)

Cuz they loose a lot of support if they hang in air just glued to each other

And sometimes a lil pixel of terrain makes the difference

If that's not the case then send screenshot cuz I am running out of ideas xd

[halcyon crag]

probably an underground dip with weak support if i had to guess

[worthy bear]

All floors underneath are blue. The encircled area is where the mead ketill keeps getting destroyed after few minutes of putting it down.

[halcyon crag]

hmm, it doesn't look like the hearth is actually in contact with the stone floor at that corner though

[coral wharf]

Is the hearth green tho? Maybe u snapped it on a wall? If wall+floor are not snapped together well it might result in hearth not being supported by the floor 🤔

[worthy bear]

hearth is also blue

[coral wharf]

But the rest of the stuff doesn't break...

Maybe there is a limit of how much stuff u can put on 1 hearth

[halcyon crag]

nah it's a question of support

[coral wharf]

I usually use 2 hearths:

• one gets 2 iron meat cookers
• one gets the cauldron and mead ketil

[halcyon crag]

the hearth is supported by other tiles it's in contact with

[coral wharf]

And I actually never tried putting more than that 🤔

[halcyon crag]

but that corner has weak support bcoz it isn't in contact with the tile below

[coral wharf]

But if heath is blue it's anchored well 🤔

[halcyon crag]

yes but support degrades rapidly with hearths, it must be touching support across the whole placement to be able to hold up something placed on top of it

[coral wharf]

I think it doesn't need to be supported on every tile tho, I think it works as 1 block and just need good support below it's part...

[willow raft]

Heart's Will is Wonky sometimes.

[coral wharf]

You can make a hearth supported by and iron+wood beam and It should be enough

[halcyon crag]

it has good support in the middle but if you look closely either side is sloping downwards, so the edges are weaker

[worthy bear]

all floors are snapped so hearth should have enough support

[halcyon crag]

they may be snapped but unfortunately they aren't quite level, that's the key

[worthy bear]

How do I level them?

[coral wharf]

Best way I found for having good lvl on the flooring is to use "Q" "E" keys to snap to "top corner"

[halcyon crag]

making sure the ground below is pancake flat

[coral wharf]

Maybe dismantling and replacing a piece of your floor and hearth could solve the issue? (If you haven't tried that already)

[halcyon crag]

i would move the hearth to a more level position elsewhere in the base, otherwise it's a bit of work to correct

[frosty frost]

The hearth Is blue, Its one piece it doesent matter in the slightest on which point of it you will build, it will all have the same support

[halcyon crag]

wrong xD

[coral wharf]

Doesn't have to be, it's enough that every floor piece has at least some connection to the terrain - when I rise ground I just create trenches in the spots were floor tiles connect.

[halcyon crag]

you could perhaps manually sink the hearth slightly into the floor so it has full contact with the tiles beneath

[coral wharf]

In my experience it works like that too tho! When a piece is blue it's supported well, no mater if it touches the ground with 1 pixel or has a full flat connection surface

[halcyon crag]

i've had this issue with a hearth before and that was the problem, if the guy moves it or places the kettil in the centre it should hold up

[frosty frost]

Go test it if you think Its wrong 😉

[coral wharf]

And I have build weird shit in this game so my experience is not low I'd say

F.ex. I created a floating base once xd (you can dig out the lower part of some stone columns in mistlands and use them as a support)

[halcyon crag]

it will gradually degrade in support colour and break otherwise, as they described

[coral wharf]

But if it's blue and stays blue for few minutes it's supported and it doesn't matter if half of it floats in air

Unfortunately I gotta go for now, I'll be back soon and try to test/clip It to see/show you

[halcyon crag]

i'm happy to be proved wrong, but like i said i've had this issue before and i've given several options for fixing it

[echo ether]

Anyone want to join up with me and adventure into the miscellence? It's my first time

Mistlands

[willow raft]

#1024264966712340510 is the place to find other Valheimians to play with.
Browse at your leisure or post something yourself.

[coral wharf]

if one pixel of the structure is "grounded" / "anchored" with good support it should apply for the whole structural block of said buildpiece

[halcyon crag]

initially sure, but that support will degrade over some time and the pieces on it will break

[coral wharf]

thats not the case either as proven in the clip above :/ ... idk dude @worthy bear i am out of ideas that whent wrong there xd

[halcyon crag]

that clip isn't proof of anything lol, the stability system takes a while to catch up

for example you can build iron beams for 100m, but eventually they will all break back down to it's maximum which is 50m

[frosty frost]

The timescale command should help 🙂

Also, the lag in calculations this long only happen when there is lots of stuff to calculate, not with few pieces like this

Btw, built similar structure to muchu and starting timer right now, lets see if it will break in around 5 minutes (which is WAY too long for any calculation lag)

[coral wharf]

the ironwood beam tower had enough time to fall apart - hearth is still standing

[halcyon crag]

stone items take longer to settle

[coral wharf]

that structural dmg takes a while for some structures but stone usually collapses imidiately

[coral wharf]

no, they ususually crash in less than 2 sec after not having enough support

[frosty frost]

Where did this attitude go? #valheim-help message 🙂

[halcyon crag]

if you count that as conclusive (which i don't) then fair play

[frosty frost]

Well since you have been given proof that it works as we said then yeah

[halcyon crag]

sometimes build pieces bug out which is the only other option i can think of, like when the bellows is connected to the forge but not registering

a simple replacement of the piece usually fixes that

[coral wharf]

huh?

[coral wharf]

and this one is still hanging there

[halcyon crag]

see above

[frosty frost]

It got support from below

[coral wharf]

yes but i also proposed that the shark guys should dismantle his hearth and few floor pieces and rebuild it with correct snapping points

[coral wharf]

yes by that invisible rock pixel

[frosty frost]

I mean the one with iron beams 🙂

The one on the rock probably has few pixels of the bottom side also supported 🙂

[halcyon crag]

try putting one iron beam in the centre, and 2 sloping down beams either side then putting the other items on top of it

[coral wharf]

but i am trying to prove that if he piece is blue and connected by 1 pixel (not every pixel is enough to connect always, but if it stays like that its grounded and it will not loose stability)

and for the stone structures - when unstable those usually get destroyed in less than 3 sec

[coral wharf]

hop in a stream if u want

[halcyon crag]

as far as i can see you haven't fully replicated the problem they were having

and it boils down to 2 options, some stability catch up problem or a bugged piece

[frosty frost]

And since their heatrh was blue the stability catch up is out of the window

[coral wharf]

u mean like those two next to the one im building last?

[halcyon crag]

no

i mean one horizontal beam in the middle coupled with 2 angled beams either side running down

so the piece is only resting on the central horizontal beam

[frosty frost]

like this?

[halcyon crag]

lengthways

and snapped at either end

and do it on ground not on a rock

[frosty frost]

still works

[cold crater]

Are campfires and crafting tables the only builds that spawnproof the area?
Do both options have the same radius?

[frosty frost]

All player base items do 🙂 and yes these two have the same radius

[coral wharf]

just understand that if it a stone structrue doesnt pop after 30sec it wont ( the fist one i build sands there for over 10 min now)

[cold crater]

What are player base items?

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base
All of these 🙂

[coral wharf]

i believe the torches spawnproof too

and you can "hide them" inside structures like a stonewall so wandering mobs wont destroy them

[willow raft]

Most player base items have the same radius as a not upgraded workbench the higher you upgrade the workbench the bigger the spawnproof area gets.
Notable exceptions are the artisan table for 40m, the forge with a max of 38 with all the upgrades which means 3m per upgrade and the workbench has 4m per upgrade to a max of 36m.

[cold crater]

Mmmh, whats the best way to tell the correct distance beetween spawnproof buildings
I guess the easiest part is just to hide them under the floor

We have stone foundations everywhere so we could just count the tiles

[coral wharf]

grounding surface doesnt matter - the support value (color) of the supporting structure does - and the stones pop in matter of seconds (if they dont pop after 30 sec they'l stay like that)

[willow raft]

I use a workbench to measure and check for enough overlap with other workbenches and then swap them out for other player base items if needed.

[coral wharf]

K im sorry for he spam Gjall but i just wanted to prove a point in testing

• @scarlet summit that must have been some kind of bug, try dismantling and rebuilding your kitchen a little bit

[cold crater]

Alright thank you ❤️

[halcyon crag]

just testing it myself and i can't replicate the issue either so i'm admitting defeat, it has to be a desync problem then, happily proved wrong on that point as stated but i'm also glad we nailed down the issue for certain

[willow raft]

If I'm not mistaken spawnproofing works cylindrical, so anything above and below will be spawnproofed, so hiding some in the attic will also spawnproof everything under it.

[frosty frost]

It is spherical 🙂

[cold crater]

Completely unrelated question

I would like to build a circular tower on said foundation grid, and i noticed that with most conciliations of circles i cant stay on the foundation grid
Are there some known circles that would fit?

[willow raft]

Then I'm mistaken.

[willow raft]

I make a circle with the small wooden beams and snap the rest to them seems to work okay.

[halcyon crag]

iirc the cyclindrical part is for build radius and not spawnproofing

[willow raft]

Ah I'll have mixed those up.

[halcyon crag]

game has a lot of complexities, we can't all be correct all the time 😉

[willow raft]

As long as someone knows and corrects the others its all good.

[halcyon crag]

or we test it out and game it out until we get to the truth

[frosty frost]

Or we look in the game files 🙂

[coral wharf]

there is no cyrindical floor piece - you have to hide the smal 1x1 pieces inside a stone wall f.ex. or rotate floors in a way they overlap - just experient on your own

• for the walls i suggest using Q and E to get top/bottom snap-points

[cold crater]

I will have stone floors outside too anyways
But i would like to have the a circle with a full number as radius
I usually get something a bit off

But i guess i just have to test out a bit more

Oh nvm i found what i was looking for:)

[warm sonnet]

Just found my first trader! Hildir, how far should you be before going to the 3 points for her?

[true steeple]

You should have black forest equipment for a smouldering tomb, mountains equipment for a howling cavern and plains equipment for a sealed tower

[warm sonnet]

Okay tysm!

[delicate condor]

can I grow the white trees in the black forest?

[real nebula]

yes, birch tree saplings will grow in the black forest

[dire flax]

if i like getting big fat sneak attacks, is it better to use a bow (i have spinesnap and charred arrows) or a crossbow (arbalest and charred bolts)

[subtle parrot]

Crossbow will do more damage, but imo they're unwieldy, easier to hit your mark with a bow

@dire flax

[dire flax]

even though crossbows fly faster and have less drop?

[coral wharf]

Highly depends on your bow skill - if you have enough lvl to get another arrow while the mob is staggered from the 1st impact the bow will probably do better

[subtle parrot]

That's not my experience with them, haven't used them in a long time but the drop off rate was horrible imo

[dire flax]

crossbow arc is almost entirely flat to my eye

[dire flax]

assuming i was choosing one to focus on leveling

[frosty frost]

You dont really need to intentionaly level up anything

[coral wharf]

If you focus on leveling - bows 100%
If you use it occasionally when you need range - x-bows

Bows scale crazy good with exp

[dire flax]

to use as my primary/secondary weapon in tandem with a sword

what im hearing is bows better for sustain dps, crossbows better for sneak and potential oneshots

[coral wharf]

Bows are better if you use them enough to get to high level. I don't like to use them so I can't tell u when exactly they become more valuable.

• for me and my playstyle I prefer crossbow as usually when I reach mistlands I have bows on lvl ~22

[coral wharf]

And then the crossbow feels much better. But I had a friend that was dedicated enough to go an kill bonemass 3 times with basic wood arrows just to get his bow skill high, and he grinded it to lvl 70-80 or sth and I've seen what bows can do on high skill lvl... and it's nuts how strong they become

[dire flax]

crossbows also seem to be better from a damage per durability level...

i.e, better for longer expeditions without a repair station

[frosty frost]

Very simply: bows - dps, crossbows - sniping 🙂

[tired root]

Bows are still OP for damage. Can confirm, just finished my bow challenge run by defeating Fader.

[coral wharf]

Yeah true, the ppl that use bows as primary should usually carry AT LEAST 2 bows

[spare drift]

hi guys, has the permafrost region been released yet?

[dire flax]

thank you for the info, i think ill stick with crossbow

[frosty frost]

Nope, we do not have any dates for Deep North 🙂

[spare drift]

i see, honestly i loved this game when i still had content so i am eager to hop back in when the final update releases

[tired root]

Don't worry, we all are eager too! But better wait for quality than getting something rushed.

[spare drift]

absolutely! i am merely keeping track of the progress, the devs could take as long as they like as im neither an authority nor a voice that would actually influence the time they spend

all the best to them.

[tired root]

Fortunately we can get some piece of information by monthly Dev blog updates.

[spare drift]

how do you get enjoyment out of the game once you beat all the content?

[lilac coyote]

Play with the content some more.

[spare drift]

honestly i have a bad habit in that i cannot play something that i have already played once

[tired root]

Well, there are lots of things to do, building is quite fun too and sometimes I like to try something new playstyles or lately even try some challenge runs. For example, I just defeated all bosses in my "deathless bows only" challenge.

[little trench]

valheim has a great ingame world, it's very immersive. you can get some replayability by viewing the game less as a set of levels and bosses, and more like a world that you experience and live in, like in an RP way almost

also yea trying harder difficulties and various challenge runs, like how quickly u can reach ashlands or whatever

[delicate condor]

is dvergr copper grate enough to isolate the eitr refinery?

[true steeple]

Yes, it is immune to all damage from eitr

[spare drift]

tbh the environment is in fact really beautiful indeed

[little trench]

ya once you really start to appreciate the world, valheim becomes a very chill game. even on very hard

[spare drift]

sorry about the bloom lol, heres a better pic

[little trench]

also sailing becomes an enjoyable activity imo

[spare drift]

every time i boot this game up i reminisce the times that i played this game with my bros

and thinking that it was much simpler back then even if it was just a year ago

[cold crater]

do chickens need to be on a good floor for the to grow?
i accidently already destroyed the floor and put em on the roof in my chicken farm
can they still grow?

[tired root]

Chickens grow into hens after some time, no requirements. Eggs need shelter and source of warmth so they can hatch.

So, floor doesn't matter.

[cold crater]

gotcha eggs already hatched so i should be fine in theory

[tired root]

You're fine in practice too.

[cold crater]

unrelated question
is there some way to build a chunkloader in vanilla servers?

[tired root]

A what?

[cold crater]

something that keeps a area loaded even if no player is closeby

[livid badge]

Is there a way to completely change valheim's control? My scroll button is broken

[tired root]

Ah, never heard the term, thanks for info. Afaik no.

[cold crater]

sad:(
-# i only know the term from minecraft context, its quite easy to build one there

[cold crater]

theyve grown:)

[tired root]

Yeah, if it would be possible to build one then taming process or animal breeding would not need player's proximity. And I believe it probably would affect to game performance negatively.

[worldly dagger]

Is it recommended to skip silver weapon and proceed with plains?

[lilac coyote]

Why would it be recommended to skip anything?

[little trench]

imo there are some good stuff like fang spear and frostner

but yea u can skip if u want

[worldly dagger]

Oh? Frostner is a silver weapon?

Then I need to navigate mountain biome then

It’s hard 🙃😅

[tired root]

Frostner is very useful in future biomes too.

My usual silver weapons I craft are Fang spear and Frostner, depending how much silver I'm going to haul. If I feel like it I craft Crystal Battleaxe too.

[delicate condor]

are stone and iron beams immune?

[old flicker]

what is good about the crystal battleaxe?

[true steeple]

It has high stagger on both the primary and secondary attacks, and is good at hitting multiple enemies with one hit

[old flicker]

is it good to use against fuglings?

[true steeple]

No

[delicate condor]

how can I protect the ceiling

[tired root]

Iron cages.

[delicate condor]

will this little entrance be ok or I should cover it?

also have one on the front to retrieve the refined mat

[tired root]

Iron door could be a good safety measure for both entrances.

Damage-wise: yes it's pretty good
Stamina-wise: the -20% movement speed is a pain + it's attacks use a lot of stamina

But if you plan ahead and use your stamina well it can cut through the camps with ease. But it's harder to use than other weapons (like 1Hswords/spears with a shield)

Just requires much more getting used to limited mobility, attack range and timings - the 1st attack is very slow you usually have to start attacking when the enemy is still pretty far outside the range and coming at you (or while jumping towards the enemy - but that uses even more stamina)

The base attack staggers 0-star-fulings and even the 1-star-fulings with enough axe skill

[tired root]

The secondary attack of battleaxes is fast and have 6x stagger multiplier but deal half damage, which is enough however for most non star enemies. After staggering with secondary attack it allows keeping even a bigger target like Fuling berserker constantly staggered with primary attacks that have 1,5x stagger multiplier.

I recently got a new computer and finally opened up Valheim for the first time again (modded)
The item names everywhere, even the menu, are weird.

Any way to fix this?"

[tired root]

[buoyant peak]

No

[wind leaf]

Sorry to ask here but is there anyone who could just help me get my gear back from the cursed deathsquitos on my server?

[livid badge]

my scroll button is broken, is there any way I could change my scroll button to keyboard instead?

[dire flax]

valheim has frozen, at least visually, i can still hear music and environmental background, and it is responding to signals from system (stop, resume)

lets hope SIGINT didnt fuck something up

we good !

[drowsy crane]

For me that happens once and a while if I Alt+Tab

[dire flax]

game used to crash whenever i alt tabbed or moved the window or changed its size, its not doing it anymore at least

[tough hare]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

They can.

Your other option is to enable dev commands, use them and debug mode through console in game and press Z to fly freely to your items.

[dire flax]

"body recovery squad" i love gaming communities

it froze again

[sturdy folio]

I'm fluent in skipping Bronze Armor each and every playthrough

[true steeple]

Skipping a single option is different to a whole tier of equipment. It’s very common to only make one set of armor from each biome.

Thanks 👍
