valheim-help

[frosty frost]

Oh yeah the stuffed mushroom, there are 2 more things that give you eitr and 1 of them also requires the magecaps, the third one requires a resource you get by taking a certain thing from dvergers and using it to get something 🙂

[viral cave]

Don't be, Valheim doesn't have an elo system

[ebon harness]

Ummm, I never really got myself to loot anything from the dvergers, because they seem to be nice folks.

[frosty frost]

You dont need to kill them, but did you see a blue long crates in their settlements?

[viral cave]

There are ways to loot them without aggroing them, ||for example dropping refined eitr next to them so that they spark and destroy the chest||

[ebon harness]

I did not got even knew they got a settlement?

[frosty frost]

Or|| destroying the crate or ward with cart || it will also not agrro them

[frosty frost]

Did you not encounter any of their towers, ports or excavation sites? 👀

[ebon harness]

No.

[vestal urchin]

If you can expend one portal you can also hit and run it and just collect the portal stuff when they eventually unagro

[ebon harness]

I thought they only in the wilds, walking around.

[frosty frost]

Then you are really lucky/unlucky i would say 😄

[frosty frost]

They never de-aggro

[vestal urchin]

Dont they? I could swear they do… maybe im tripping or its a mod or something

[frosty frost]

Might be a mod if you are using any, but in vanilla they stay angry 🙂

[vestal urchin]

Never knew this

Another day another life lesson

[frosty frost]

You mess with their stuff and they have a great memory xD

[ebon harness]

I can use mods, too...?

[frosty frost]

I would not recommend it...

world modifiers for sure, but mods just break stuff too often

[vestal urchin]

I personally only use stuff like gizmo, more vanilla build prefabs and plant everything but thats about it

I have once played with odins ships but it just didn’t feel the same as vanilla ships so i ditched it

[ebon harness]

Prefabs sound nice for my builds...

[true steeple]

Mods can break things completely unrelated to their content

[vestal urchin]

Haven’t experienced this even once with the mods i use

[true steeple]

What about this?

[vestal urchin]

The best part is that its all vanilla pieces

[frosty frost]

Meh, lets not continue in this topic since we are not in mods channel 😄

[vestal urchin]

I think its something i have left on in infinity hammer or i maybe even have a mod for that and just forgot about it

[vestal urchin]

Aight yeah fine

[ebon harness]

Oh, sorry. Another question I got right now is that I have no clue how to get the other type of foods?

[vestal urchin]

You need a cauldron for some foods, a food prep table for the rest and a mead kettle for… well mead

[frosty frost]

Find some dvergr settlement, go to mines for the little yellow bugs 😄

[vestal urchin]

Then you just need ingredients

[frosty frost]

Ah, also, what level is your cauldron?

[ebon harness]

uhm, I think two or three?

[frosty frost]

Oh, which upgrades do you have?

[ebon harness]

Butcher's table, pots and pans and mortar and pestle should it be, I can build them, so I think I did built them?

[frosty frost]

You dont have spice rack?! 👀

[ebon harness]

No.

[frosty frost]

Oh my, did you ever find turnips?

If not then you have been playing the whole game on hard mode basically.

[ebon harness]

I do have turnips! But not a lot, and no seeds.

[frosty frost]

Oh, and do you have it unlocked? (spice rack)

[ebon harness]

No, I do not?

[frosty frost]

hmm, you should have everything for it by now, it needs:
Dandelion x3
Carrot x2
Mushroom x5
Thistle x3
Turnip x3

[spare vault]

Time to plant seed turnips, then

[tough hare]

Turnips can be planted as "Seed turnips", which give you seeds after harvesting, which you then can plant to get turnips.

Works the same as for Carrots and Onions.

[ebon harness]

I got no seed turnips? And I don't think I got mushrooms or carrots...

[spare vault]

Do you have a cultivator

[frosty frost]

Mushrooms can be found in meadows and black forest primarily, carrots in black forest in their "seed flower" form (white flower) 🙂

[tough hare]

Put the turnips in your inventory, select the cultivator and bring up the (plant / build) menu.
It will show seed turnips.

Carrot(seed)s can be found in the Black Forest.
Mushroom (the red ones) can be found in the Black Forest and Meadows.

[ebon harness]

Thank you! Nothing told me I can do such...

[frosty frost]

I think Hugin should have told you once you found the plants, given if you had cultivator 🤔

[ebon harness]

I feel like I missed out so many things...

[tough hare]

The most important thing about this game is: "Everything you find can be used one way or another." So as soon as you find something new, check the hammer, hoe, cultivator and all your crafting benches (including the cooking ones) for new recipes.

[frosty frost]

If you didnt farm anything until now, then yeah, it is one of the core machanics 😄

[viral cave]

Unless you're speedrunning, but I doubt that's the case here

[ebon harness]

Can I plant the mushrooms too?
And I farmed wheat and made some boars, but now my boars are just gone from their pen?

[frosty frost]

No, you have to forage for the red mushrooms

[ebon harness]

I guess I played on hard mode, really...

[frosty frost]

I am afraid so xD

[viral cave]

Boars can be tamed, but most of the playerbase finds it easier to just forage for those

[frosty frost]

Unless you find 2 starred ones 😄

[ebon harness]

...SO I managed to tame some boars, who them got loose or something, and then I could not find mushrooms...? 😄

[frosty frost]

If you want and easy way to find just a few mushrooms then go to spawn and look behind the boss stones 😉 behind one of them there are always some

[viral cave]

Mark dense clusters of foragables like mushrooms and berries on the map, they respawn after ||240|| minutes

[tough hare]

Another way is to turn down the vegetation settings to its lowest so you would see them easier. After that, mark them on your map for future use.

[frosty frost]

Yep, makes it easier to find them 😄

[viral cave]

A little more meta game than I'm personally comfortable with, but thanks for the tidbit

I kinda like the challenge of needing to time foraging with decent daylight hours to pick out where the berries are

[tough hare]

Over time you will notice that you're getting more experienced in finding mushroom, even with the vegetation set at its highest setting.
They all appear in similar places; the stone behind the spawn is one of them. Another one are the small "out house like" buildings you find in the meadows. There are usually 3 of them in there.

[frosty frost]

Tbh i get majority of my mushrooms from the random patches in meadows, the spots they always spawn at are just a bit too rare for effective foraging imo

[tough hare]

That's why I always mark them at my map.
But tbh, by the time I do need to run back I got so many mushroom from other locations - which are all marked - that I don't even have to return to the previous discovered spots to collect them again.

(Need to run back because they should've respawned, that is. Not because I'm short of 'em).

[frosty frost]

I usually just make the runs when i get kinda low on them, like i am on last stack or something 🙂

[tough hare]

I currently got 5 full stacks. And I never went past 6 full stacks.
So I stopped collecting them a long time ago.

[frosty frost]

Yeah i usually like to keep around that much too 😄

[digital bridge]

what are best ideas to put in the obliderator to turn into coal?

[tough hare]

Everything you don't need, with the exception of your (obsolte) weapons and armor.

[digital bridge]

so this uhm would not work?

[tough hare]

Lots of players are using leather scraps or withered bones at some point.

Oh, it might work, but there's always a chance you will need those weapons again for a corpse run.

[digital bridge]

yoo

[spare vault]

It'd work it'd just not be the best idea 😛

[viral cave]

I wish I could put other Vikings into the obliterator

[tough hare]

That's only possible if you cut off their heads and collect those as trophies.

[jade olive]

The best thing is trophies like deer heads you get a ton. They are a 1 to 1 ratio for coal. But don't trash them all you need them for Fishing or decorating. So now don't toss them heads out hang on to them.

Goes for all trophies

[frail cave]

so I just started playing and my friends made me the tank, am I supposed to do any damage at all or just hold block 😭

we're on like day 9 and I have the skeleton trophy shield thingy 💀

[steep tusk]

Uh... you are an individual capable of making your own decisions.
If you don't want to tank, don't tank.
If your friends cannot accept that, they aren't your friends.

[frail cave]

no I just kind of suck at the game 💀 i dont really care I just wanna know what I'm supposed to do

[steep tusk]

Also there is zero reason in valheim to have a dedicated tank. Each individual can be a complete fighting unit capable of defending and attacking.

If they are so bad at combat they cannot do both, get better friends 😏

[steep tusk]

"Supposed to do" -- honestly I would start a solo world for when they aren't online so you can learn the combat system on your own. And it will massively inform how you do the dance of both defense and offense at the same time.

[frail cave]

alr

[surreal quiver]

@lapis terrace, sorry to ping, but how many plushies are in stock?

[lapis terrace]

there is no "stock"

we (people who buy one) pays in advance for them, and then they make an exact number of them to the people who ordered one

[frosty frost]

So basically unlimited as long as you pay 😄

[lapis terrace]

no 🤔

not sure how many "runs" it will be

but I would order one now, instead of hoping for a 2nd run

[true steeple]

I've already ordered one

[lapis terrace]

same

I don't wanna miss out

[frosty frost]

Oh, i meant more that if i pay for 2 i will get 2 made, and if i pay for 100 then i will get 100 🙂

[lapis terrace]

ah yes

that is true

[frosty frost]

So you can get as many as you want in this time window 😄

[lapis terrace]

yes

imagine

100 plushie ice creams

would work as a swimming pool 😄

[frosty frost]

xD a little army of eyescream

[true steeple]

All stacked up on one rocky...

[lapis terrace]

lol

poor rocky 😄

[true steeple]

That rocky has 100 eyescreams, it's the others that are missing out

[frosty frost]

Why poor? He has tons of eyescream xD

[lapis terrace]

😄

[cold crane]

Will two stuffies in close proximity produce stone stuffs?

[lilac coyote]

I'll never get used to the term 'stuffy'.

[lapis terrace]

stuffed animals?

[lilac coyote]

Yeah. I just don't like it. Feels weird. Can't explain why though

[surreal quiver]

Thx

That explains it

[lapis terrace]

I prefear the word "plushie" myself 🤔

[steep tusk]

Stuffy is the term for sinus congestion.
Plusihe is the term for adorable soft squishie collectibles.

[frosty frost]

Maybe because it sounds very similar to other word that you get by switching U for I?

[steep tusk]

Stuffue?

[lilac coyote]

Lol, possibly.

[steep tusk]

😏

[fringe bluff]

is padded armor worth the trouble? I'm running fenris/root right now and dying a lot, mostly to shamans

[frosty frost]

I would say it Is, but if you are used to light armour then maybe better choice would be to stay with the one you have + barley wine for fire resistance. Or you can get padded with ratatosk potion which will make you almost as fast as having 2 fenris pieces. Or you could have padded Helmet and pants plus root harnesk with fire resistance wine and ratatosk potion 🙂

[jade olive]

Yeah having root mixed with Fenris works good in the swamp per say but not in plains. The full Fenris would be much better for the speed and the fireproofing. Other wise get better at dogging skitos and fire blasts. I did that mix but found out your still a match stick lol.

[fringe bluff]

Honestly I don't really mind the skitos nearly as much as going up in flames

[jade olive]

Well the root part increases that fire I was told by 50% so full Fenris is way better and really good foods too.

[jade olive]

Can a smoldering tomb location be moved? Has that happened befor?

[steep tusk]

Did you physically go to the location so it was loaded in or did you just use a mapping website to tell you?

[jade olive]

Marked on the map by hildir

[steep tusk]

I'm going to assume that a) you never went there in person to actually load the area in and b) you went to Hildr before one of the larger game updates.

If you go back to her and touch the table again the map will correct itself.
Larger game updates can include world generator tweaks that alter map points. Said map points will remain if you have physically loaded them in though.

[trim pike]

anyone know if you can log into xbox or steam if you bought the MacBook app store version of the game? it seems i am going to have trouble joining public servers if i don't have it on steam or xbox

[jade olive]

I did it befor Ashlands. But I did click the map recently and no changes happen. I will go back and see if it might change. I did have a modor location move. I guess I need to check if I have a 4 location since my bad modor spot is still there maybe I have a new added location?

[steep tusk]

Possible.
Have to ask: Modded?

[jade olive]

Nope

[mellow maple]

Infinite stuffy glitch?

[wet kayak]

Hey guys, noob here.

What do you reckon would be the best prep to fight the first boss?

Any help would be appreciated

[steep tusk]

Food and knowing how to roll.

[faint osprey]

almost anything will work the first boss is that weak but id recomend a flint spear or knife for food cooked dear boar and neck meat

[steep tusk]

Don't run HHH.
If you're doing 2 meats just do deer + boar and then eat a berry or honey so you have stamina.

If you're very, very new just use the wooden club since that one weapon carries you all the way to the third biome.

@wet kayak clarification of terms:

Most every food specializes in 1 attribute and gives drastically smaller stats to the others.

Right now all you have access to are Health and Stamina foods.
So you're going to want to run either HHS or HSS for your food setup.

Do not ever run HHH, and SSS is more for advanced players who want the extra stamina and know they won't be getting hit so the hp doesn't matter.

[faint osprey]

for a new player HHH is not bad

[steep tusk]

HHH is atrocious in all scenarios except the vomiting sniper build. Which is mostly just a meme.

[wet kayak]

Right okay, I'll give either of the three a crack until I win the boss fight lol. Thanks guys.

[steep tusk]

Dodge rolling gives you immunity frames. So just pretend you're playing Dark Souls during boss fights.

[faint osprey]

with HHH he will over 100hp and 50-70 stamina

[steep tusk]

Please stop giving people shit food advice.
Please.

[tired root]

Lacking enough stamina can lead to situations where you could get swarmed and have no enough stamina to dodge/jump out/block attacks/run for escape, which means death then despite having more hp.

[steep tusk]

[faint osprey]

againts eikthyr it doesnt matter

[tired root]

True, but in later parts of game there will be enemies in larger numbers which can lead to situations I described.

[steep tusk]

And just like IRL, it is best to establish good eating habits early rather than throw out random shit because "it doesn't matter."

[grim vessel]

what lvl gear is recommended for moder? (running draugr fang, silver armour, and frostner but prolly wont use that, and prolly obsidian arrows)

[true steeple]

I normally upgrade everything to level 3

[grim vessel]

yea lowk so far only been doing things with lvl 1 gear lol, sometimes weapons to 2

[frail cave]

a lvl1 ancient or silver spear and nudity with a frost resist potion

[buoyant peak]

Nudity?

[tough hare]

I really wonder why everyone is so into obsidian arrows when fighting a boss in a frost biome.
Sure, their damage output in pierce damage is the highest, but isn't heat the best option to deal with cold?
Meaning: fire arrows, while having less pierce damage are a much better solution as obsidian ever will be. Simply because there's that nice effect fire does over time.

[true steeple]

Even with the fire weakness, obsidian does more damage

[tough hare]

That's not what I found over time.
When using obsidian arrows I needed close to 200 to kill Moder.
With fire arrows it was under 100.

To me that's a significant difference.

And both fights were done with the same level Draugr fang, and near same bow skills. So that didn't make a difference.

Raw numbers aren't everything. Stacking damage is something that needs to be taken into account too. And fire does that.

Heck, even against growths the fire arrows work wonderful. Better that obsidian or needle arrows.

[subtle parrot]

Knives are good enough for growths

[ebon marsh]

Based on your findings it’s clear that the idea that obsidian being better was made without testing and everyone just kind of went with it lol

[tough hare]

I think it's because people tend to look at the total damage. Which is lower for fire arrows when you combine both pierce and fire damage as it is compared to obsidian arrows.
But as said, total damage isn't everything.
Fire arrows' total damage is even lower as that of poison; yet everyone keeps telling that poison arrows are no good because the poison damage counter is reset each time you make a hit. Meaning you do the total damage and the moment you hit again, you do the total damage; not the poison DoT. Which also means that you either have to wait for the poison DoT to end or take into account that you won't do any DoT at all.

[true steeple]

Tested now with level 100 bow skill and level 4 hunstman bow, using only fully charged shots. No shots missed. Results will still vary due to damage variance
79 Obsidian arrows killed her
86 Fire arrows killed her

I can do it again if you want me to

[ebon marsh]

If you wouldn’t mind

[sour aspen]

Hello everyone. Can you change world modifiers on a running dedicated server? If so, how? =)

[true steeple]

80 obsidian arrows
88 fire arrows

[ebon marsh]

Seems like obsidian is only slightly better then but makes me wonder why Thorin had such a large discrepancy

[ebon marsh]

So I guess we can say obisidan arrows are ~10% better than fire arrows

[subtle parrot]

Depends on who is running it. I used to have one with gportal, and you could request the change in the app and they would change it. But it's been a long time since i had it, so maybe folks in #dedicated-server would know better.

[sour aspen]

Oh, totally did not see that channel. Thanks, I'll ask in there.

[fallen fern]

hi some mod for in game leaderboards to see deaths/kills/colected plants for all players on server?

[tough hare]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might know

[molten cedar]

I need to get to Moder spawn location, but the island is surrounded by Mistlands islands........any tips?

[subtle parrot]

Find one of the others

[true steeple]

Stacking fire damage doesn't generate any new damage, the total damage dealt is the same as it would be if you waited before applying fire damage again

[west zealot]

hey so im new, can anyone tell me how i can plant new trees or do trees and rocks just respawn after some time? also does your inventory transfer between worlds?

[tough hare]

To plant new trees you need to have the cultivator (available from 2nd biome) and the seeds you occasionally get when chopping them down.
Trees don't respawn, but the branches you see on the ground do.
STONES do respawn over time. The big rocks you see don't.
And yes, you can transfer items in your inventory from one world to another. It's what lots of players used before we were able to transfer metals through portals with the right) world modifier setting.

[west zealot]

ah alright thx thats good to know, i played lots of terraria in the past so i wasnt sure if the character is seperate from the worlds like there, also (idk if its supposed to be that way when first starting but i didnt watch a tutorial cuz i dont rlly want to) and i tried to make a house, and noticed how stairs kinda dont work, so is it possible to make the ground flat so you can build better?

[tough hare]

Yes, you can.

There's a tool you can craft in the workbench to do that and after defeating the first boss you will get another tool making it easier too.

[molten cedar]

Yeah, that was my plan; I tried to sail around but it's all Mistlands and it's hard to see anything, but it's all good! I found another Moder altar much nearer to my main base which apparently, is an island across the trader! Hahaha! Good thing that other altar wasn't near another Mistlands! 🙏

[west zealot]

ah i see, ig i shouldnt have made a base right after starting lol, thx

[tough hare]

You will need some sort of base for the first workbench and it's upgrades.

So that's not really a problem.

But it would be good idea to find another spot later; closer to water whenever possible - or even a small island - and turn that in a permanent base.

One thing you need to figure out is whether or not you want a big base with lots of outposts or a base in each biome.
Both are having their pros and cons, but eventually it's up to you to decide.

[late pecan]

I have a large main base, and have some smaller ones in each biome. And a lot of portals.😆

[compact sentinel]

What is a good strategy for dealing with Elder.

[frosty frost]

Finewood bow + fire arrows 😄 and hide before his attacks behind the pillars of his altar

[true steeple]

Any bronze weapon works well if you prefer melee

[frosty frost]

• the buckler or you can roll 🙂

[true steeple]

A bone tower shield should also be strong enough

[frosty frost]

Oh, true, i kinda always forget about tower shields 😅

[tough hare]

Tower shields make you slow, though.

[frosty frost]

Yeah, i dont use them so they easily slip my mind

[tough hare]

Most likely don't use them because of the -20% movement penalty?
That's why I don't use them. Combine it with heavy armor and you're more slow as a limping turtle.

[true steeple]

The flametal tower shield has -10%. I think the others should have this too, except for the serpent scale shield which can stay at -15%

[frosty frost]

Oh? It only has -10?

[tough hare]

I s'pose Flametal is having less weight as some serpent scales. Or wood, bones or whatever other materials that's used.

So perhaps it's Aluminum?

[true steeple]

In ashlands there are so many attacks all at the same time, so if you can't dodge at least some of them you will die, even if you block most or all of them.

[frosty frost]

No idea, but i think that if all tower shields had -15 instead of -20 they would see a bit more use, -10 is a bit too close to the normal round shield imo

[true steeple]

It should be close, no parrying is enough of a downside already

[tough hare]

Bone, Wood, Iron Tower shield: -20%
Serpent Scale shield: -15%
Wood, Banded, Silver shield: -5%
Bronze & Iron Buckler: -5%

That's what I got on a character that hasn't gone beyond Moder so far.

[alpine tapir]

I don't like tower shields because enemy pathing has several flanking scripts. shields only work in one direction so most of the benefit from tower shields is lost anyway unless you can force them to approach from one direction.

This was always how tower shields were used anyway.

[true steeple]

Everything blocks across 180 degrees, if you move backwards you can block pretty much everything

[storm rock]

hey im worried that the roof of my base is weak any way to strengthen the roof

[alpine tapir]

add supporting posts underneath or buttresses on the outside?

[subtle parrot]

Is it complete? If it's complete and not falling down, then no need to add extra support other than aesthetical appeal

[frosty frost]

Even if its dark red it will never break on its own 🙂

[steep tusk]

Everything weak until you get to ironwood.

[languid salmon]

does anyone here know how i can whitelist a mac player that bought the game through the app store? i know how to whitelist i just don't know what i need from that player to give access.

[late pecan]

I imagine you just need to put in whatever name they’re have for their account but I’m just throwing out a wild guess.

[languid salmon]

normally we need a steam or xbox id, i already asked that player to pass whatever was shown when pressing F2 in game but it seems that is not accepted. i can try a user name or something but since that doesn't work for the other cases i haven't tried but will give it a shot

[late pecan]

Yeah, I haven’t used a Mac in a long time, but there should be some sort of platform I’d they’re using. I don’t know if Game Center still exists for playing games on Mac but if it does that’s probably the ID you might need.

[jade olive]

Well I have 6 locations for the tomb it turns out. One I knew was dead becouse of the Ashland update its in that zone they wiped out. Kinda odd all 3 had to adjust and not the others. So apparently they got all new locations and Idid find one so thank you for the help.

[languid salmon]

yeah that's what is used, i added GameCenter_Ai_ and a weird combo of numbers and letters to the whitelist but still says banned

[ornate finch]

There is a high chance that the person that sent you their Game center ID didn't correctly read the characters cuz they can be hard to see. Tell them to sent you their screenshot of the ID. You have to put in full ID, including Game Center string and underscore

[languid salmon]

will do

[steep tusk]

@zinc narwhal Root will help vs. the green things, everything else Padded is better.

Choice is yours 🤷‍♂️

[west zealot]

when i die fighting a boss will it disappear? or can i travel all the way back and try/continue until i beat it?

[steep tusk]

Bosses never despawn.

[west zealot]

will it heal?

[true steeple]

They don't despawn and they will regenerate health

[west zealot]

ahh

[true steeple]

All creatures constantly regenerate 100% max health over an hour

[steep tusk]

It isn't super fast regen.

[west zealot]

i mean i need like 5 mins to get to the first boss with my raft

hold on…. can i put a bed near the boss?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[sleek herald]

Yup and do

[west zealot]

…

[true steeple]

Yes, just don't let creatures see it or they might attack it

[steep tusk]

Once you get into Black Forest tech you will just put portals near them.

[sleek herald]

what the Hel kind of map did you get?

[west zealot]

died to the first boss and my raft is still there… any tips? dont rlly wanna make a new raft

[steep tusk]

Pro Tip: Don't die.

[true steeple]

You will need to make a new raft, but you can destroy them and get all the materials back

[west zealot]

good tip but i got skill issues, tried to dodge roll but my low stamine ruined it .-.

[steep tusk]

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[west zealot]

wait fr? i dont need to park em and pray they wont drift away?

[steep tusk]

Boats will never drift.

[true steeple]

They don't drift away

[west zealot]

ohhhhhh, forgot about that

[steep tusk]

😭

[west zealot]

yeah…

[steep tusk]

Never forget the foods. You will thank yourself.

[west zealot]

i got like 5 red berries is that eneugh?

[true steeple]

You need three unique foods

[steep tusk]

For 1 slot, what about your other 2?

[west zealot]

whats a unique food?

[frosty frost]

3 different foods

[true steeple]

A food that isn't one you are already using

[west zealot]

ohhh, ye i only got 5 red berrys total and maybe 2 pieces of meat

[true steeple]

At least one meat is a good idea but NOT A NECK TAIL

[west zealot]

ah nvm the meat then it was neck tail

[frosty frost]

Neck tails are great option since you dont use them for much else 😄

[west zealot]

oh ok

[true steeple]

Never kill necks, Odin won't let you into Valhalla if he finds out

[frosty frost]

Oh yes, axe can be used to harvest the tails 🤭

btw is there a way to build underwater? i tried making a base near/on the river and one side is constantly red because the pillars dont work in the water…

[sleek herald]

oh I found it

[steep tusk]

Is pinned in #valheim-chat if you lost the link at any point.

[true steeple]

-# This is more than a bit of fun

[tough hare]

Especially is own neck.....

[west zealot]

oh ty i will

[grim vessel]

How many arrows are recommended for moder? I’ll prolly go obsidian coz people tend to recommend those, should I also make a pierce weapon coz I have frost wr but obviously will be bad compared to say a sword or spear. I’ll have a lvl 3 draugr fang i think, and idk the level, I think around 40 bow

[frosty frost]

100+

[subtle parrot]

In shallow water you can kinda, but not really otherwise, it's too deep and you can't go underwater

[west zealot]

also whats a good strat to defeat deers? i got a kinda hard time with them since i cant run after them for too long

[true steeple]

Obsidian arrows are the best you can get at this point

[true steeple]

Sneak with a knife (axe won't work because it's too slow) or use a ranged weapon

[sleek herald]

needle?

[subtle parrot]

Crude bow and wooden arrows or sneak attack flint knife

[frosty frost]

Not before plains

[true steeple]

Technically yes but that's progression skipping

[sleek herald]

yeah but skeeters are arseholes

[steep tusk]

Zero.

[sleek herald]

more I can kill the better

[west zealot]

oh ok ill try thx

[steep tusk]

i got a kinda hard time with them since i cant run after them for too long

How did we as a species solve this problem IRL?

[sleek herald]

Can throw a spear if you go ranged, just don't lose it.....

[steep tusk]

||We invented bows and spears.|| -> Same logic applies in Valheim.

[sleek herald]

If'n I remember correctly we walked towards them until they died

[west zealot]

traps, arrows, anything to throw i think tho i dont see a way to make traps ingame

[sleek herald]

No really this was a hunting method

[steep tusk]

In the absense of traps, you have the other 2.

[sleek herald]

Walk & stalk until the thing dropped from exhaustion

[clever light]

does the moder trophy talks

[sleek herald]

LOL

[frosty frost]

As you can see she does talk 😄 and other bosses do too

[true steeple]

Boss trophies and some other items talk occasionally

[sleek herald]

I never knew

[ebon harness]

I have a problem with building bridges over the ashlands, no matter how high I build, they just collapse. I tried building bridges everywhere else and ran into no issue, but still...

[west zealot]

yeahi really should gove the bow a try…

[steep tusk]

Bows and Spears are both good. Try both and see which you like better.

[true steeple]

Are they being set on fire? That's the only difference between building in ashlands and other biomes.

[ebon harness]

Yes, even the newest, gothic-like rock and the ash wood.

[west zealot]

i use the spear as my main weapon tho dont rlly like to throw since i lost like 2 already cuz of bad aim…

[grim vessel]

Should I go melee for moder instead? I don’t have a pierce weapon tho, and no stats in sword or spear (been using axe til swamp, then used blunt)

[true steeple]

Use melee when she is on ground and a bow when she is flying

[steep tusk]

Time to get better at aiming 😏 💛

[frosty frost]

Best is to combine 🙂 when she is flying use bow and when she lnds use melee

[west zealot]

yeah time to give aimlabs a shot xD

[ebon harness]

I even tried to build like three stories high but it still just burns up...

[frosty frost]

The weather in ashlands sets things on fire, so it doesent really matter how high you build

There is constant "rain" of cinders in there

[grim vessel]

I’m kinda worried that moder will just smack me and I’ll die lol. Anyway, what weapon do yall recommend coz I don’t think frostner will cut it coz she is immune to spirit and frost right?

[steep tusk]

Use the Iron Mace you have from killing Bonemass.

[frosty frost]

Yeah frostner is very bad for her, even bronze mace is better, i usually go with the weapon i used in swamps 🙂

[ebon harness]

But my base near the shore is still just fine...? I got no idea. Thank you still, I'll trry next time.

[frosty frost]

If you look into artisan table after you get the upgrade from queen for it then there is a thing that will help with bad weather 😄 tho in limited area

[ebon harness]

I did used that, my stuff still broke...

[west zealot]

btw is there a way to use a different armor as vanity?

[subtle parrot]

Did you run out of fuel?

[grim vessel]

And I assume yall recommend some form of serpent meat as a food source by that point?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[subtle parrot]

There is yes, eventually

[west zealot]

so its planned but not yet?

[ebon harness]

Oh... likely! Thanks, will check

[subtle parrot]

No, there are armor stands and item stands you can place them on

[west zealot]

ah but you cant wear a different armor as vanity over the one you use?

[subtle parrot]

Ah, yeh no

As Sev said

[rocky shale]

Hi there, does anyone know how I can get rid of those hundreds of pickable royal jellies with a command? We accidentally made them spawn with a friend.

[frosty frost]

removedrops command should do 🙂

[steep tusk]

Should be a command to remove all drops if they are actually dropped.

Otherwise forcedelete.

-# "Accidentally" spawned.. sure 😂

[frosty frost]

Oh, they dont seem to be in item form... then i am not sure

[rocky shale]

hmmmm the Removedrops command didnt do anything ^^'

[true steeple]

Removedrops is for items

[frosty frost]

Yeah they would have to be dropped on the ground for taht to work, i didnt look at the picture properly at first

[rocky shale]

well we made it spawned a week ago, and every X hours the thing just reapered in our base without any reason lol

alr we gonna break the whole stuff and removedrop

[true steeple]

Removedrops won't fix the respawning it will just clear the items

[steep tusk]

Not even going to try forcedelete... well ok then.

[rocky shale]

oops sorry didnt saw ur message!

[steep tusk]

inb4 that command goes horribly wrong...

[grim vessel]

Hey I was thinking I probably should kill a serpent or two before I go for moder, I haven’t actually fought one yet, I’ve only been using the boat that used bronze nails upto this point, is it recommended to get the next one? And frost arrows?

[rocky shale]

removedrops worked with that 👍🏽 thanks guys

[true steeple]

Serpents are balanced to be fought with black forest equipment. Think of them as swimming trolls.

[steep tusk]

If it is respawning this is a temp fix because the spawners still exist.

[rocky shale]

But how can it just respawn like that 😭

[frosty frost]

It it returns try forcedelete 20 Pickable_RoyalJelly 🙂 while standing close to the pile

[ornate finch]

Next time it spawns, stand close to the item and use "forcedelete 5 Pickable_RoyalJelly" command

[steep tusk]

How does anything in any game ever "just spawn"?

[rocky shale]

@vast token thanks we keep it in note

[true steeple]

You spawned the spawner rather than the royal jelly directly

[rocky shale]

yes lmao 😭

[grim vessel]

Oh right, fair enough then. So that boat should be able to handle them, and then my draugr fang should be fine against them then ty

[frosty frost]

The piles naturally respawn in the mines, and since you spawned the piles instead of the item itself they act the same way as they would in the wild 🙂

[rocky shale]

ohhh we are so cook then 😭 our base is condamned to have royal jelly in it 😭 at least now we have the command to remove it ✋🏽

[frosty frost]

It should be fixed if you use the command i gave you 🙂 (but use it only if it returns!) that is if it respawns since i dont know what command did you use for its current removal

[rocky shale]

ohh alright thanks for saving our little home 🥲

[west zealot]

can i reduce screenshake somehow? im in the black forest and every time i get hit my screen shakes so hard it feels liek my laptops about to be broken lol

[frosty frost]

I do believe there is a option to dissable that in settings

[vast token]

bro wait until abomination 💀

[west zealot]

idk what that is but i found a skeleton archer with 2 stars and he oneshots me each time and giving me that huge screenshake

[vast token]

ye it's anooying

abomination is a future mob you'll meet

the shakes are unreal

[rocky shale]

you DO NOT want to met him

[west zealot]

... i see

btw are those star mobs common? cuz they are waay too strong

[vast token]

mmmmhh yes it's pretty common

you need tu up your armor with amelioration

[west zealot]

i just beat the first boss i dont think i find amelioration anytime soon

[frosty frost]

Mobs have 10% chance to gain a star, so 10% of one type of mobs will have at least one, basically 90% mobs will be 0 stars, 9% will be 1 stars and 1% will have 2 stars

[west zealot]

will dungeons regenerate/refill after some time so you can loot em again?

[vast token]

nah

[west zealot]

oh i see so i found smth rare good to know

[late pecan]

Unless you’re in the ashlands at night, then you just get ready for pain.😆

[frosty frost]

Afaik the star gain doesent change with time of day or location 🙂 (exception being places with mobs that have fixed stars)

[late pecan]

The amount of 2 star charred I see at night compared to during the day definitely feels like more to me. But that could just be me getting swamped by stuff in general because ashlands.😆

[frosty frost]

Most likely that 😄 especially since at night there is more spawns so technically there is better chances of encountering a starred enemy

[wet totem]

metals can spawned in putrid hole in ashland?

i just destroy everything in putrid hole, theeres iron, bronze and silver

[alpine tapir]

how tight are the frames to the animation?

[steep tusk]

Extremely loose.

[alpine tapir]

if you look at other species, no other one has a developed enough cortex to trajectorize aiming projectiles with the accuracy we do.

Our ability to yeet but still kobe is what put us on top.

[alpine tapir]

active cooling and sweating to regen stamina without having to pant was a balance breaking hack.

[alpine tapir]

so like as long as I'm rolling I won't be hit by undodgeables/dmg fogs right

[steep tusk]

Pretty much.

[ebon marsh]

Certain dungeons have certain items that do respawn such as yellow mushrooms or royal jelly

[junior rivet]

The mistlands are just so much harder, I have fully upgraded gear, feasts, healing and stamina meads, bonemass ability, fire wine, everything and it still feels so insanely hard, is there something Im missing or some trick?

[ebon marsh]

Are you using root harnesk? The pierce resistance is particularly potent in the mistlands

[junior rivet]

no im using the padded armor, it gives a lot more armor

[ebon marsh]

I recommend switching the chest for the root harnesk and keeping the rest as padded

[supple panther]

you should give the root harnesk a try, it really makes a difference

[junior rivet]

okay, ill try that

[ebon marsh]

to put into perspective a 200 pierce attack would deal 100 with padded + cape (100 armor) while with root harnesk you take 100 less damage before armor is factored in

[junior rivet]

how would that work with bonemass, does it stack?

[ebon marsh]

It does the same thing as bonemass it’s just only for pierce attacks and lasts as long as you have the root harnesk on at the cost of fire weakness

It does not stack with bonemass but root harnesk and bonemass do stack with serpent scale shield pierce resistance

[steep tusk]

What are you dying to?

And what's your weapon?

[jolly hound]

i have mods Longer Days and Seasonality....with only activated Longer Days, my days are quite long, usually 4 times longer....but when i activated Seasonality, it seems my days are back to default duration.....i have mod manager to edit each mod, but i dont know which settings to edit in Seasonality to get longer days back ? any help pls

#mods-issues

[grim vessel]

will a lvl 2 iron mace, and 200 obsidian arrows with a lvl 3 draugr fang do for moder (solo normal difficulty)?

[undone kite]

how can i get the community servers to load

[night sleet]

do i need to do anything to our save, after the bog witch update

we started on ashlands and had a long break, so i want to make sure we can still get the witch

[true steeple]

New content will generate in unexplored areas

[night sleet]

also we have killed like 40-60 cultist and gotten 0 trophies why is that

[true steeple]

rng

[tough hare]

She's in each unexplored swamp on your map.

[night sleet]

yeah thats what i remembered

[night sleet]

im starting to tweak out, it was the reason we stopped previously since we looted like 7 mountains and got zero trophies

[true steeple]

What equipment do you have, at what level?

You should have a level 3 shield and weapon

What are you doing in the black forest underprepared?

[tough hare]

Have you defeated Eikthyr yet?

[true steeple]

This can only trigger after defeating eikthyr

[sturdy folio]

Just so you know you're coming across as argumentative/unapproachable.

People are trying to help

[tough hare]

I kinda missed that. 😊

[buoyant peak]

If you're getting that event right after killing eikthyr is just bad luck, the event will be much easier after getting bronze gear

[true steeple]

No they didn't. You were underprepared but tried to make progress anyway.

[buoyant peak]

They never did, it has ALWAYS been that way

Lower the difficulty sliders then

They have done absolutely nothing to early games regarding mobs

[sturdy folio]

There's been a number of mechanic / system changes so it may be worth catching up on the changelogs

in regards to food and such

[true steeple]

Now if you want more health (which will also affect what you can block), eat more meat. And plant-based food typically gives more stamina.

[buoyant peak]

You are literally being given advice...

[sturdy folio]

They left btw

[buoyant peak]

Great riddance, seriously

[tough hare]

You know, perhaps if you had a somewhat more friendly approach, you wouldn't consider this Discord "useless".

You approach us in an aggressive way, you get the advise needed to go on, yet you remain behaving in an agressive way. Even after a moderator already said your approach isn't exactly friendly.

[sturdy folio]

They won't see this

[lilac coyote]

Not sure what they wanted. Validation?

[buoyant peak]

I cannot comprehend the "guys help pls" to "fuck you all I victim" mindset

[sturdy folio]

It's probably a case of - I want advice that fits my narrative, otherwise P-off

[tough hare]

Unfortunately.

Although I'd doubt that user would learn from it anyway. Not with that attitude.

[buoyant peak]

People with that attitude has a 99% chance of staying that way and refusing to see it's 100% their fault (in this case it definitely is)

[grim vessel]

will a lvl 2 iron mace, and 200 obsidian arrows with a lvl 3 draugr fang do for moder (solo normal difficulty)?

[true steeple]

That should be enough, what food are you using?

[grim vessel]

Mb didn’t see the message, will likely be wolf skewer, sausages and eyescream (maybe replace sausages with some serpent stuff if I get one on the way), and wearing. Lvl 3 wolf armour

[late junco]

Hi everyone! I'm a returning player to Valheim.
I've noticed a few changes got released after I left, like the Bog Witch in the Swamp biome. Do I need to look for a new Swamp that I haven't explored yet to find her, or does the trader spawn in pre-loaded biomes?

[tough hare]

You will have to look for an unexplored Swamp.

[fair trench]

I don't understand how to unlock recipes for this.

[true steeple]

You need honey. Find a bee nest and destroy it for a queen bee which you can use to build a beehive.

[zinc narwhal]

whats up with my black metal axe only doing grey damage to trees?

[true steeple]

The ratio of slash damage to chop damage has reached a point where the numbers shown are grey. Don't worry about it.

[fair trench]

Wow, I was looting everything I see in the black forest expecting that to be the problem 😭

[zinc narwhal]

I think you will find them in the medows in abandoned buildings

[true steeple]

They can be found rarely in the black forest too

[fair trench]

i am guessing they are in the buildings with chests usually, the thing that actually damages you there

[zinc narwhal]

any building really

[true steeple]

You can hear their buzzing

[zinc narwhal]

just look up when getting poisoned

[wheat haven]

So I'm getting a really strange issue when making a valheim server. I've set up a dedicated server, added the mods that I want, copied all of those mods into my own game and joined no problem
Then I did the same on my friends pc, again, he joined with no issue
Then on my other friends pc, she keeps getting the incompatible version error... I have even copied the whole game folder, sent it over and unpacked it and ran that, so the game and all of the mods are guaranteed to be exactly the same as mine, but she still gets the same issue

Any ideas?

[tired root]

Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 for better help.

[wheat haven]

Yeah, thanks, I noticed the dedicated server channel after I posted😅
Then after I posted it there, I realised it's probably better in the #mods-issues since I am running a few mods😂

Doubt it'll be solved anyway, it seems like a really weird bug

[tired root]

Yeah, but some folks might know better in either channel than here since this channel is for getting help in unmodded game.

[final mulch]

Is there some newish feature allowing you to place individual stones with the hoe?

I picked up a hoe for the first time in a while and got a new build item "stone".

But then I've tried it and it seems pointless: the stone looks like dropped loot and you auto-pick it up, so what is the use of that? Is this some sort of problem on my end? Has anyone used this successfully?

[tired root]

It was added in April 1st patch when also pickable rock and Rocky were added too.

You can decorate your yard with stones.

[final mulch]

That's what I was excited to do. But something is not working then. On our unmodded server, placing the stone just turns it into a free fallen loot item. It gets auto picked up and it sparkles like loot. What's wrong with our server?

[forest wagon]

Hiiii! I have the plant everywhere mod & the Infinity Hammer. I’ve built a base in the sky and am trying to plant pickable items. Sadly they just fall through. Has anyone figured out a hack to make them stay?

[tired root]

So you placed them with a hoe?

[tired root]

Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 for better answers.

[final mulch]

Yes, placed them with a hoe, with the new feature. They look for a split second like a normal stone but then they 'pop' out of the ground on their own and sit as a shiny loot item instead.

Our server has been updated, and reset within the last day. No mods. Any clues about what sounds wrong about this?

[tired root]

Hmm, might be an issue in dedicated servers. Haven't encountered similar issue in my solo world.

[final mulch]

Would other people with dedicated servers be posting about this problem somewhere? Do I submit a support request somewhere? We've never had a glitch that wasn't widely experienced already.

Thank you for your advice.

[tired root]

You could ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 or report to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220

[final mulch]

Sounds good thank you

[floral linden]

I can not use my left click (ie I cant punch anything and I receive a console error

[tired root]

Seems like you're using mods? Then https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 is right channel.

dunning-kruger is a hell of a drug.

hello i had a dedicated server and have the world file is there any way i can import it and make it a singleplayer server?

When is this supposed to give you mead? I slept and its still not done

[frosty frost]

It takes 2 in game days 🙂

what weapon should I use in the ashlands?

[frosty frost]

What were you using in mistlands?

[zinc narwhal]

mistwalker

[frosty frost]

Then keep it 🙂 it is incredible for ashlands

[steep tusk]

Bare fists.

[alpine tapir]

keeping with the trend of bad advice, rag trousers and a flint dagger

[steep tusk]

It's less "bad advice" and more "trying to point out that if your question is about should?, then you, personally are the only one who can answer it and our opinion on the matter is irrelevant."

[west geyser]

anyone can figure out how to enable flight mode for other users in a local server

[spare vault]

They can run away by holding the shift key

[west geyser]

what

[spare vault]

Not sure what else you mean by "flight mode". If you meant pvp mode it's the swords icon on the right side of the screen when in inventory.

[steep tusk]

He means enabling devcommands for non-host players, which can't be done.

[west geyser]

yes

[buoyant peak]

mods

[west geyser]

I tried a few none of them seemed to work

[alpine tapir]

is there any way to rename my character

[grim vessel]

What’s the recommended way to drag around three dragon eggs across like 4 oceans and across like two islands

[frosty frost]

In a boat and then 1 at a time 😄

[lilac coyote]

There's almost certainly one on the mountain already. And you could wait for another to respawn.

[grim vessel]

Feels a bit risky to do that tho, coz that might cost me 8 hours lol

[grim vessel]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking ig, gonna be a good long hike, dunno how I’m gonna go all the way there in one boat trip due to win but yea

[shy yoke]

Once you beat the elder your going to the swamp or is there more progression you need to do before you take off in a boat

[frosty frost]

You go to the swamp 😄

I planted an ivy and it says it needs more room to grow, but it has just as much room as the other ivy I planted. Is it because there's another ivy that's too close?

Problem still persisting. But thank you to those who have helped me.
This is on the topic of Non-Dedicated. But the problem is completely preventing me from playing with my friends. I am able to play on my own, just no one can join me or me joining them.

I am able to play any other games with my friends with almost no desync. But in Valheim I can’t even join a game.

None of us have ever used mods on Valheim.

I get the "Connection Failed" when trying to join any of my friends and they can't join me either. We are using non-dedicated servers/Ingame session servers.

A list of what we tried [Updated]:

[stiff wagon]

how often do abominations spawn

[vale parrot]

I think 3-4 ingame days from my experience. If you remember where they spawned they will spawn there again.

[stiff wagon]

alr thank you

You are welcome.

Yes, its useless solo.

[haughty adder]

im trying to get some soft tissue and black marble and im trying to get the structure to pop but im having a issue with water is there any way to try to stop it?

[vale parrot]

I'm a bit confused. Are you trying to get tissue and marble but its underwater?

[haughty adder]

im trying to pop the petrified bone and soft tissue block but when i even try to dig down even just with 1 swing i hit water

pop like how u can with copper, silver etc

where it all exploded at once

[vale parrot]

Thanks. If you have not already you can dig to waist deep. Else you can just break the bottom side of the skull, and have the rest pop.

[haughty adder]

ok so there isnt much i can do about it thanks for the help

[fierce rivet]

I'm trying to join my friend's server and it always disconnects me before i load in, both of us have good wifi connection so that should not be an issue, my only guess is region difference

is there any way to fix this

[steep tusk]

Move so you're in the same region 😏

[vale parrot]

Did you wanted the whole think too go? @haughty adder

[haughty adder]

not neccacarly just try to get as much without having to dig the bone

[vale parrot]

I see, its more fun to watch the whole thing go. I agree.

[steep tusk]

That is my new favorite spelling of necessarily.
You Sir have just made my day 💛

[haughty adder]

that and less work usually

[vale parrot]

What's you set up? Are you using the ingame server session also called non-dedicated or are you using a dedicated server? Are you both using steam or Xbox?

[fierce rivet]

We're both using the steam version, and i simply tried joining him through his invite code on his own private server, i'm not sure if thats a non-dedicated or dedicated server

[vale parrot]

Non-dedicated is setup through the game. While dedicated can be setup through the "Valheim Dedicated Server" tool found in the steam library.

[vale parrot]

Is the game telling you that it 'failed to log in' or 'Failed to connect' or 'Backend service something'?

[tight berry]

I've built a chopping block and tanning rack to get my workbench to level 3. What do I need to build to get it to level 4?

[subtle parrot]

Bronze

[tight berry]

Ah, okay.

[undone kite]

how do i setup a dedicated server?

YouTube has some guides you can use. Do learn how to "IP console split host process". Also Port forwarding is important. The people on the #dedicated-server can help you more if you have more questions.

[undone kite]

thanks

[vale parrot]

Be safe.

[vale parrot]

I got to go @fierce rivet. Keep asking if the problem continues. The people at #dedicated-server might help give you a different prospective. I also have not been able to join my friends and have been doing lots of testing. There is a list of what I have tried above. I hope you don't have what I have, its horrible.

[balmy hatch]

Is it intended that Wraiths are unaffected by the Bog Witch's passivity barrier? They seem to be able to sense, gain aggro, and attack me even while in the Witch's Hut.

[grim vessel]

What food should I use for moder? I don’t have any serpent meat rn so

[lament kraken]

guys I need some help with something related to steam but I'm not sure where to go with it since I'm nervous about not getting an immediate response and I don't know what to do about it

[ebon marsh]

Wolf skewer, onion soup or eyes cream and your next best health food choice would probably be sausages then, I do recommend going out your way for serpent stew tho as it can make a pretty big difference

[steep tusk]

Food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat
You want the Configurations tab, look at Mountain and pick either HHS or HSS.

[cedar lodge]

Maybe Steam bugs discussions? Dunno with this few info 😁 try to elaborate, if it's wrong channel people usually will redirect you to the right one taking no offense

[grim vessel]

Tysm for that 👍 really appreciate it 🙂

[grim vessel]

Hmm, yes alright might try for it, never fought a serpent before that’s the only issue

[cedar lodge]

A longship should withstand some good hits from the serpent allowing you to bow it down relatively safely, i usually go even with the lighter Karve no problem, but maybe more dangerous. Also, you can kill it wherever you are as the meat floats (while other serpent drops sink and force you to lure the big guy ashore, but not the case)

[grim vessel]

yea alright ill give it a go, currently only got the materials for a karve but im bout to transport 120 iron back home so i can make it so yea ill give er a go once i got it

[grim vessel]

I GOT ONE!!! I KILLED A SERPENT!

I do a lot of dmg to those, in a small karve hell yeah (may of been fighting it on the small karve and 120 iron on board 💀 lil risky lol) it ran away tho so i chased it down and wind flipped direction smh

[late pecan]

Hell yeah, Serpents are scary at first. Then you kill one and then see they're not so bad.

[grim vessel]

yeah definitely nopt as scary, was worried with the 120 iron on board the karve lol. i dmged my own boat more than it did.

[late pecan]

Yeah I feel that, that's normally what I do too lol

[cedar lodge]

nice going! good thing is you 100% sure you can outrun it with a Karve in extreme danger situation, if wind counters you just turn and follow it and "crash" safe on the nearest shore (so you can keep nails and rebuild it if it breaks)

i still laugh of myself remembering that my first 300ish hours of Valheim i didn't know that tombstones (and cargo) float... ...verrry cautious and sweaty sailing at the time eheh

[grim vessel]

Oh yeah forgot the boxes float, and didn’t know about the grave. Thanks!

[cold crane]

Congrats! The boxes float but
Can be attacked and will break and material might sink if it’s heavy stuff. Go into the swamp and chop the trees in there to get the wood to unlock the long ship. It can carry a lot more iron for u. And make iron nails too

[late pecan]

Longship is a very nice upgrade.

[grim vessel]

yeah just got all the materials! thats why i was hauling 120 iron in the first place so i could have enough for all upgrades and my new ship! just got it all ready, going to travel towards moder with my 3 eggs when the wind is right soon!

[late pecan]

Hell yeah! Moder is a fun fight, that was the first boss I had soloed.

[grim vessel]

yeah gonna be a real long trip there too, im ready! (i think) running fully lvl 3 silver gear, a iron mace lvl 3, and a lvl 3 draugr fang with 200 obsidian arrows. gonna use my freshly brewed serpent stew, wolf skewer maybe and eyescream i think maybe

hopefully thatll be enough haha

[cedar lodge]

yeh that should do 😁

[late pecan]

That's about what I did the first time I killed her. I recommend making a piler or 2 with the raise ground feature with the hoe so you can hide from her attacks when she's flying. It helps a lot.

[grim vessel]

good idea actually ty! was gonna make a bit of a moat so wolves and drakes dont bother too much (mainly wolves)

[cedar lodge]

yup, also check the area for golems before summon, if there's one trap it rather than kill, so it will still count for the spawn limit

[grim vessel]

tbh i die everytime i try to kill one lol

[late pecan]

Not a bad idea but all I did was make some pillars and flatten some ground and I only had to deal with 1 drake and 1 wolf. But I know a friend that was swamped by stuff when he did it so yeah.😆

[grim vessel]

oh right xD. recommend portal or a bed incase i die? i just hope i dont get obliterated haha

[late pecan]

I’d definitely have one close by just in case, I built a whole base near by but you definitely don’t need to do that lol.

[grim vessel]

Oh right haha. I might build a little closed off area with my portal halfway up or something and sprint for my gear if I die. Istg if I get smack and die straight away ima cry haha

[late pecan]

All her melee attacks can be blocked with a silver shield, though I’d dodge the breath attack. My power blipped out so it took me a bit to respond.

[grim vessel]

Oh right, yeah got a lvl 2 or 3 silver shield so that’s good. And tysm for ur help!

[late pecan]

No problem, I've been loving the game and had a friend help me through a fair amount of it so I'm happy to help a bit. Though there's a lot of people that know way more than I do about this game in this server.

[grim vessel]

yeah nah i played a few years back on release with some friends, but stopped halfway through silver age so really appreicate it

[late pecan]

I had a friend with me from the start till the silver age. After that I did most stuff on my own.

[grim vessel]

yeah fair, kinda looking forward to plains, kinda scared haha

[late pecan]

Plains I think is my favorite biome.

Dungeons in the mistlands are cool but the mist is really annying lol.

[tough hare]

It is for a lot of players.

One reason is that you plant all crops up to and including plains over there.

[late pecan]

Yeah, tbh that's why my main base is in the plains. That and I just like the aesthetic.

It's also fun bullying fuling camps with the trollstav now that I've been in the ashlands for a bit.

[tough hare]

I did that with the Staf Of Embers and the Blood Shield.

And my first target: Fuling Shaman.

Because at that point it was time to give them a taste of their own medicine.

And boy, did that feel gooooood! 👿

[late pecan]

I feel that.

[tough hare]

I think we all do.

Primary target when raiding Fuling Camps before having magic: Shaman, Beserkers, spear wielding, torch wielding, sword wielding.

In that particular order for me.

After having magic: Shamen, Beserkers and anyone who's stupid enough to get into my way. 😄

[late pecan]

I couldn't agree more.😂

[grim vessel]

and we are off! wish me luck omw to moder

[late pecan]

Good luck!

[grim vessel]

what forsaken power do i use against moder now that i think about it? bone or eikthyr?

[tough hare]

Bonemass

[late pecan]

Bonemass is honestly one of the best.

[tough hare]

But on the other hand, if you like to run out of hazard's way, Eikthyr may be better.

But in general the most used is Bonemass due to its buff against physical damage.

[grim vessel]

the wind is blowing the wrong direction nowwww nooooo rahhh

[late pecan]

Both are good jsut depends on what you're doing tbh.

[late pecan]

Aw pain, too bad you don't have Moder's power.

[grim vessel]

THE WIND YESS ODIN MY LORD IT FLIPPED TO THE RIGHT WAYYYY

WWWWWW

its now perfect xD

nothing can stop me!! (final words lol)

[late pecan]

I believe in you.

[grim vessel]

thanks!

bro this boat is so sloowww (biggg trip haha)

does the fight start the moment i chuck the third egg in?

[late pecan]

Lol if you weren't already sailing I'd offer to pop in with my Moder power to change the wind for you.

[late pecan]

You have to press one other thing after to spawn her in.

[tough hare]

No. You need to sacrifice it first. Just like you did with Eikthyr and The Elder.
Dropping the 3rd egg in the placeholder only shows the 3 eggs in a placeholder.

[grim vessel]

cool thank you

[grim vessel]

thank you but nahy im right haha

[late pecan]

It would only speed things up a bit so it wouldn't make a big difference.

[grim vessel]

yea fair

uh gang. i have to run through a plains biome with the eggs to get to the mountain...

big plains too...

[late pecan]

Oof, If you want I'd be happy to try and escort you to the mountains and then leave.

[grim vessel]

theres kind of a small swmap next to it but like both r risky

[grim vessel]

nah ill be right, and then if i have an issue ill see if i can recruit someone haha

[late pecan]

You do you bud.

[grim vessel]

yeah this is risky lol killed 3 death squittos already haha... theres some loxes between me and the mountain too...

[late pecan]

Lox are pretty easy to go around.

[tough hare]

You can always try to find another Moder Location.

It would also be a good idea to sail around that area to see if there's a meadows or black forest near that mountain at some point.

[late pecan]

Yeah that's what I did. I also used the map website to find a better spawn for Moder.

[grim vessel]

yeah im currently escorting the eggs to the swamp, and then gonna search for a better place and then move the portal. the portal rn is on the egde of the plains unprotected...

eggs r safely in a chest in the swamp, im gonna make a portal at home, and then gonna run up the mountain and place a portal, and then move eggs there, and pray i dont die and lose all progress

[late pecan]

I wish you luck.

[cold crane]

Moder mountain will also have eggs u could find that may be less of a haul

[grim vessel]

yea might go looking around once i get a portal up

what kind of protection should my portal in the mountains have

[cold crane]

Doesn’t have to be a lot. Just make sure a bit away from alter so moder does t come attack it. A simple hut around it will stop wolves and drakes from attacking it

[tough hare]

I never build protection around my temporary portals. But if you're able to find an old stone tower or a log cabin you can use that as protection. It usually means you "only" need to add some walls and a roof.

[grim vessel]

yeah nah ill be putting it a lil bit far away dw

made it too my moder and got a portal down in a tower close, but not too close coz the tower

so options r to bring my eggs up here, or find em

[quasi vault]

I never build any protection for portals, I just make sure I take out the enemies following me before entering the portals and it's always going to be safe since the area will just unload while you are not there

[magic bluff]

Do the trolls summoned by the trollstav not despawn?

[alpine tapir]

just tack your heading

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacking_(sailing)

[sterile lodge]

how fix failed connect for connect friend server. i sometimes connect my friend but its error nervous me

[charred iron]

Would like to make a castle but I have trouble with the landscaping aspect of it all. Any suggestions to help get a flat surface?

Or to better build with the landscape

[steep tusk]

Use the hoe?

[charred iron]

Thank you, didn’t think of that

😂

[steep tusk]

👍 Glad to be of service.

[charred iron]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-no-way-iq-what-gif-25841858

[steep tusk]

🤔

[shut plume]

any ideas on how to make sloped walls like this?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[frosty frost]

Cannot without mods

[charred iron]

Unfortunate

[shut plume]

thank goodness, i thought i was an idiot for being unable to figure it out

[steep tusk]

🫂

[quasi pagoda]

Askvin eggs require shelter and fire/warm to hatch. Does it matter how much room is available where you place an egg to hatch? I understand that there is a limit on number of askvin within 10m.

[frosty frost]

The limitation should only apply on laying the eggs, not on hatching 🤔

[quasi pagoda]

I've got two askwin penned up in a 4x4 pen (4 std wood floor sections). They keep laying eggs if I keep them fed and I stay close enough. My question is (exaggerated for the discussion) if I place 4 eggs in a covered and warm 1x1 pen will hatching be prevented because there is no room for even one askin to be in the pen. Hope that makes sense.

[frosty frost]

Nope, all should hatch 🙂

[quasi pagoda]

Ok. The game engine just finds the closest valid place to spawn them?

[frosty frost]

Probably, i am not that familiar with how the game works 😄

[quasi pagoda]

Thanks.

[true steeple]

It doesn't find anything, it spawns the asksvin baby directly at the egg's position. But if the baby is stuck inside some collision it might be able to escape.

[quasi pagoda]

ok. That helps. I'll build the roof high and leave the sides open and see what happens.

[devout pivot]

is this some kind of boss room? should i prepare? for context im in a frost cave, i went downstairs and this is the bottom

[tough hare]

Is this in a frost cave in the mountains?

If so, try to explore the surrounding area well.
You may find a fishing rod there.
And while fishing, you may also be able to catch a special (as in very hard to find) fish.

But, afaik, there's a change a stone golem will spawn nearby as well.

Either way, if there is fish in that lake, mark it on your map.

[devout pivot]

yeah i read about some rare fish in the wiki, and i also saw a weird rock formation at the edge

[tired root]

It's rare occurance, usually a stone golem is found there, plus fishing rod. Except that is frozen tho, so no fish from that area.

[devout pivot]

atleast i dont need to spend my money on a fishing rod then, thanks

[tired root]

Yeah, free item worth 350 gold from Haldor.

[subtle parrot]

I've had boars birth piggys on the other side of walls because their back side was right up to the wall, but I'd assume if you place the eggs right in the middle they'll spawn there on top of each other, but I've never tried breeding or hatching in such cramped places because it seems kinda pointless

[quasi pagoda]

I gave an extremely exaggerated example because I couldn't think of a better way to describe my concern. But you got it exactly. Too small a pen and they can end up where you don't expect/want them to be.

[dusty socket]

what is my next armor after i get the padded armor? Im in the mistlands with no black forge

[frosty frost]

You will want black forge then 😄 you make the next armor in it

[dusty socket]

is there anything better then padded?

[frosty frost]

Also, you could be a bit patient...

[frosty frost]

Yes, 2 more heavy sets and few more other sets

[dusty socket]

how would i make them?

[tough hare]

By progressing through the game, defeat the biome's bosses and craft the new crafting stations. Just like you did before.

[frosty frost]

The same way as you made every other armor set, gather materials from the biome you are at

[dusty socket]

whats the better set called and what do i need to craft them 💔

[frosty frost]

Haaaa... Carapace set... https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Carapace_Armor

[tough hare]

Believe it or not, but you can find all information you need at https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Armor

[lilac coyote]

Do you not enjoy finding new things for yourself?

[dusty socket]

depends on what, i dont know anything about the mistlands but i want to make sure i dont die instantly while doing so

[frosty frost]

Why would you die? The progression loop is the exact same as in the previous biomes?

[devout pivot]

do poison damage stack if you use poision arrows with draugr bow, if not does it automaticly choose the poison with most damage/length?

[frosty frost]

Nope it doesent stack, it just refreshes the timer

[devout pivot]

refreshes?

[frosty frost]

There is a timer for the poison to do its dmg, if you hit enemy with poison arrow again the timer goes back to full, but the dmg is not added on top or anything, you effectively waste the remaining poison dmg from first arrow

[devout pivot]

no i mean since draugr bow already has poison damage, and i have poision arrows do the bow and arrow stack?

[frosty frost]

Ah, that i dont know but i would think they do

[devout pivot]

aight

[true steeple]

All damages of the arrow and the bow are added together

[topaz magnet]

hi I arrived in mistlands and I don't know what to do

[compact heath]

Explore, do you have your "light" with you? There is 4 main things that you need to find (more than once) to get lots of progression going and become stronger

[topaz magnet]

yes I have light

[compact heath]

Then you will need to explore to find the things, would be spoilery to tell you exactly what you need to find, it will also take a bit longer because the terrain in Mistlands requires quite a bit of stamina to move around (Rata and Lightfoot mead and stamina meads highly recommended, hope you found swamp merchant) and once you found some things you'll naturally progress

[topaz magnet]

okay thank you

[tight berry]

If I destroy a kiln and smelter, will I get the resources back?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[alpine tapir]

yes, you can technically make bronze with only 5 cores.

[steep tusk]

That's not even technical? Kilns are obselete now.

[frosty frost]

Not if you play as intended 😉 especially for new players it would not be nice to suggest basically exploits

[steep tusk]

🤔

Turning on "more realistic option for fire that makes it actually burn things so you have to be careful about not setting your house on fire" is an exploit?

[frosty frost]

In a game where the default is not having it that way and it not being intended for that use, yes. 🙂

[quasi vault]

I'd argue it should be the default

[steep tusk]

You and I define "exploit" very differently.

[lilac coyote]

Turning on a game feature is not an exploit.

[quasi vault]

And something you could turn off to make it easier like portals allowing you to transport metal, it just makes it more realistic

[grim vessel]

Yo guys do I run Health, health, stamina, or health, stamina, stamina for moder? (I have serpent stew)

[steep tusk]

That is a personal choice only you can make. HHS and HSS are both perfectly fine.

[grim vessel]

Yea nah all good think I’ll go HHS just in case

[steep tusk]

As long as you never run HHH you're fine 😄

[quasi vault]

Hey hey hey!

[grim vessel]

My friend did that when we first started and then realised how stupid that is lol

[quasi vault]

HHH is perfectly fine too!

[steep tusk]

It's valid if you're running the vomiting sniper build, otherwise it is atrocious.

[quasi vault]

Oh no I've been here 2 minutes and I am already playing in an atrocious manner

[steep tusk]

Now comes the fun part:
Are you mature enough to realize my personal opinion on things means fuck all and therefore should not affect you in any way?
Or do you frequent Reddit? 😛

[quasi vault]

Jesus christ

[steep tusk]

What? You either fit into A and know what I mean about B with people getting hyper offended by opinions on the internet.
Or you fit into B and are currently hyper offended 😄

[lilac coyote]

This isn't like you Sev.

[steep tusk]

🤔 I am always like me. 🤔

[lilac coyote]

No, you're being a jerk for no reason.

[steep tusk]

Interesting interpretation, but ok. Moving on.

[bleak marsh]

Whys everyone fighting on multiple channels outta niwhere lmao

[last sequoia]

there is no way to play the ashlands before the nerf ,right?

[steep tusk]

Idk if steam will let you revert that far, so I would say look for a mod?

[grim vessel]

guys how do i deal with stone golem? one spawned right where i was about to spawn moder smh

[frosty frost]

Buckler and iron mace 🙂

[grim vessel]

oki

[frosty frost]

Or silver shield if you have it 😄

[grim vessel]

yea i do

[steep tusk]

If you already have Iron Buckler, Silver Shield is honeslty meh.

[last sequoia]

after you kill it make sure to put a campfire or workbench down

[steep tusk]

But if you already have Silver Shield, just keep using it.

[frosty frost]

If they already have silver shield why not use it 🙂

[grim vessel]

]i had a work bench down in the fiurst place idk how it spawned

[steep tusk]

See above.

[frosty frost]

Yeah we sent it at basically the same time 😄

[grim vessel]

how many food items will i need for moder? like spare after eating and stuff

[frosty frost]

just one or two of each food should be more than enough 🙂

[grim vessel]

oki, dude this golem is constantly killing me, idk why but i cant parry it :/

[true steeple]

Is it staggering you or are you getting the timing wrong?

[grim vessel]

think its timing

actually its just staggering me

[steep tusk]

What's your food?

[grim vessel]

but ill get it in one more coz corpse run let me do tons of dmg

[grim vessel]

tbf that was with no food im so silly 💀

[steep tusk]

Problem located 😄

[grim vessel]

haha sorry

got the golem!

BRO NOW IM BEING HUNTED

AT MY MODER

and i heard another golem spawn...

today is not my day 😦

take 2 haha

[spare bramble]

Fenris or wolf armor?

[grim vessel]

i did it!!! (and it was wolf armour)

i killed moder!!!

that was intense! first thign she did was blow a hole through the side of the mountain (theres this massive rock covering a lot of it and she smashed straifght through it with her icicle attack)

i even killed a golem mid fight! (and a drake that almost got me killed, but after that didnt even get hit once)

thanks to all that helped!

[burnt carbon]

can someone help me kill bonemass

[tough hare]

What's the problem?

[burnt carbon]

im dust at the game

[tough hare]

You'll get better. We all did.

So let's get over the basics:

• What kind of armor are you using?
• Which foods are you using?
• Which weapons are you using?
• Are you using any poison resist potions?

[burnt carbon]

i have full iron armor and a mace upgraded to level 2 but im not sure how to make the potions, i got some jerky, honey and deer ribs is that enough to kill him?

[true steeple]

Have you started farming turnips and carrots?

You need both for a cauldron improvement and without that you’ll never have access to the best foods available to you

[burnt carbon]

ehm no i have not I didnt even know that was a thing to be honest

oh okay good to know

how do i acquire the seeds

[tough hare]

What you can do is ignore Bonemass right now. He will regenerate health over time, but you're going to be able to deal with that anyway.

For Carrots, look in the black Forest for the white flowers.
For Turnips, look in the swamp for yellow flowers.

Both will give you seeds when you interact with them. Plant the seeds with the cultivator, wait for teh plants to grow, replant them so you get 3 seeds for each plant. Continue to do that until you got about 50 plants of each. Plant 20 for seeds, use the rest to craft food.

It's also a good idea to hunt for boar meat, bloodbags and entrails as those will be needed for swamp tier food too.

[burnt carbon]

thats super helpful thank you everyone Im going to figure out the farm i had no idea theres alot to this game i still havent figured out.

[tough hare]

The most important thing you should know is this: "Everything you can interact with will be useful some way or another."

Which basically means: the moment you see that pick up letter or button showing up, do so and check your hammer and all crafting stations when you're back at your base. Because there's always something you may craft from it.

[steep tusk]

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[shy yoke]

What am I looking for in the swamp?

[compact heath]

What specifically do you want to know, don’t want to be too spoilery. Dungeons with green lights and a locked door, yellowish pickable seeds, monsters big and small you’d want all their drops. And eventually the boss vegvisir as always

[shy yoke]

Gotcha so basically just rubbing dungeons yo gear up?

[compact heath]

Yes but also need the seeds and the monster drops to get everything, same as other biomes really except that swamp is a little more dangerous than Black Forest for most players

You probably also want to find and fight some of the Swamp Version of the black forest troll, its a big one

[shy yoke]

Thank you I’ll looks for the trills onlu seen leaches and dragr so far but I am going slow trying to level out a path through with the hoe

[compact heath]

All good also they are not trolls but similar size big things

[sonic geyser]

helloo, any helpers? i can't join my friend's server

it just says can't connect

[ancient verge]

Im stranded on island stuck near plains. Is anyone free to just rename a portal for me at home and I can make it from there . I'm on xbox

[compact heath]

#dedicated-server might be able to help better, also your friend should check that everything is correct, what error you are getting, if the server is showing as online for yiu, did you ever connect successfully before et

[iron wolf]

Hello! I'm trying to breed Asksvins, I have two , tamed them, give them food, they eat, but they never produce eggs or show hearts/breeding symbol. They are not bothered and have plenty of space. Any ideas why they won't produce eggs?

[ornate finch]

Are they in agro mode? (exclamation mark above their heads)?
Try to put them closer together, but still with some space. You have to be in the area for breading to occur. 2min should be enough to see three hearts. If you use mods, they can create additional problems.

[karmic hearth]

Just create a new character to rename your portal.

[karmic hearth]

They first have to produce "love points" and after that one gets pregnant and eventually lays an egg. It just takes some time.

[fair trench]

I just had to darksouls the Elder after I ran out of arrows that was fun, I have the swamp key but before going there what should I prepare?

I have upgraded bronze weapons and troll armour, both upgraded to the highest I can

[karmic hearth]

Poison mead.

[true steeple]

Have you started farming carrots and making mead?

[fair trench]

Yes

[karmic hearth]

Also having the Hoe with you is good advice. And something with fire damage.

[fair trench]

Also is there a reason to keep trophies?

[karmic hearth]

You can convert them 1:1 to coal at a later point and they "can" be helpful with your base defenses once you hit Mistlands.

Also decoration

[faint osprey]

some are needed to craft weapons and a few other things

[fair trench]

Its worth it to keep storing them?

[faint osprey]

some yes

[wind thorn]

They make for some awesome wall decorations in a "Trophy Room"

[steep tusk]

Remembering when Dead Raiser required the Rancid Remains trophy to craft... better times... 😭

[little trench]

how much more hp do mobs have if you play with a duo? feels like 2x hp

[steep tusk]

If memory serves it's just +30% per extra player.

Stacks up to 5 times. So with 5 people it would be 2.5x hp.
But with only 2 people it is 1.3x hp.

[grim vessel]

so ive just killed moder, i want to build a base in the plains, for 1 portal, two to use to harvest and grow the plains materials (would also like to take loxes ontop of that but yea), but like i dont know exactly where to build said base, is there a specific spot i should look for? like near a camp, or something? to enemies respawn there?

[steep tusk]

No, there is no specific spot.

[grim vessel]

so like idk where to build one tbh, like i can just build one in the middle of a plains but like not sure if thats utilising everything to its fullest etc

[steep tusk]

There is no fullest to utilize.

Build where you feel like building.

[grim vessel]

i mean if theres no fullings nearby then therefore no metal right? and then id be hiking metal from plains to plains?

[steep tusk]

Ok but once you kill all the fulings in the immediate area -- what next?
Oh... hiking metal from Plains to Plains because there are no fulings nearby and therefore no metal.

So either way 🤷‍♂️

[grim vessel]

so is there any point making a base in the first place?

[steep tusk]

The same point as making any base anywhere else.

[subtle parrot]

Fulings do not respawn at the camps, no. I would suggest looking for a decent spot with a good cloud berry field, plenty of flat space. But generally there isn't a specific spot you should build until after you've beaten yagluth (the plains boss). Then i would suggest looking for a good spot near a mistlands but still in the plains for safety.

[grim vessel]

tbf ive made a single base my entire playthrough so far 💀

[steep tusk]

The only "optimal Plains location" is "next to the ocean"

Beyond that it doesn't matter at all.

[grim vessel]

why the ocean if i may ask srry?

[steep tusk]

Boats?

Fastest way to move asstons of metal?

[grim vessel]

ok yea i might be stupid

[steep tusk]

🫡

[grim vessel]

yeah i might try make a base in a plains thats kinda large, maybe with two or more camps maybe, and then settup like a dock or something, ty 👍

[tough hare]

You could ignore the whole Plains base idea if you don't want to haul all your stuff over.

Instead, look for a tower near the coast line, set up portal and a small dock there, drop a portal and a chest (or two if you use the normal ones) at one of the floors and cultivate the land around it.

After that you can use that tower as your base of operations to ransack the plains it's in for BM, Barley and Flax. Drop the BM in a chest until that one's full, keep the cultivator in one of the chests too and just plant / harvest the barley.

The advantage of this: you don't need to set up a second base with all the workbenches, defenses and such.
Another advantage, you can plant all crops here, but since it isn't a real base, you may not have to suffer from raids, so no real defenses needed. The "Hunted event" may hit you there, but you can deal with that from one of the floors if you play smart.

Disadvantage: you will teleport in and out for the planting / harvesting and every once in a while you will have to ship all the BM back to your base with a Karve or Longboat.

[grim vessel]

Nah I’ll prolly stick to making a base but yea thanks

[bronze tulip]

Hi there! I cannot craft Mead Base: Troll Endurance. I have all the ingredients but its still greyed out.
Im playing on a llösche docker server hostet on my nas. might this may be the problem?
Cheers 🙂

[lilac coyote]

You have a Mead ketill?

[bronze tulip]

yes

[lilac coyote]

Any mods?

[bronze tulip]

no, nothing, never had

Craft is just greyed out ^^

[frosty frost]

Are the 2 troll fish the same quality? 🙂

[bronze tulip]

Oh, i found the issue. I needed to trollfish the of the same quality...

Thx @frosty frost and @lilac coyote

[fair trench]

Last check, I am heading to the swamp with upgraded bronze weapons, fire arrows and upgraded troll armor and anti poison mead. All good?

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂 dont forget portal and just once again, since i am sure it was asked before, what food are you bringing?

[fair trench]

Boar, Deer, Neck meat

[tough hare]

Better start looking for carrots in the Black Forest and farm a bunch of those.
They will provide better food options as what you got now

[frosty frost]

Then stay away still 🙂 farm some veggies and make food with that,

[fair trench]

I have a lot of carrots stored

[frosty frost]

And do you have cauldron? @fair trench

[fair trench]

No I don't have a cauldron

[frosty frost]

Grab some tin and make it 😄 ASAP

[fair trench]

i have like 20 tin in reserve, idk I don't think I saw it pop up in my menu before I thought I already had it somewhere 😭

[frosty frost]

It will unlock much better foods, and food is one of the most important, if not THE most important, stat in the game 😄

[fair trench]

a friend told me to farm carrots whenever i found seeds i just never asked why lol

[frosty frost]

You will want much more than the one stack 😉

[fair trench]

I have a bee farm and a big carrots farm

I have materials for all of these, which should I mainly make?

[frosty frost]

Do you preffer having one or 2 health foods?

[fair trench]

2

[frosty frost]

Then deer stew, carrot soup or qeens jam and minced meat sauce, you could switch the minced meat sauce for a normal meat tho if you dont have enough ingredients 🙂

[fair trench]

What do you gain out of planting a fully grown carrot?

it says seeds but how many?

[frosty frost]

3

[solar badger]

3 by default

[frosty frost]

It grows into the flower you picked in black forest 🙂

[fair trench]

so I should probably keep some carrots and replant them?

[frosty frost]

Oh 100%, around third to keep roughly the same ammount, or half to accumulate them slowly which would be better imo 🙂

[fair trench]

Thanks valheim for teaching me to reinvest my money

[viral cave]

200% interest go brrrrr

[viral cave]

replant 100% each time. You'll know when to stop when the game starts lagging

[fair trench]

Probably will replant half until I have enough then third? not sure, wish I knew this earlier though I had a lot of downtime when I was hunting trolls and mining copper and tin

[viral cave]

In all seriousness, I personally replant 100% until I get to a number I'm happy with (200-300), then replant a third.

[devout pivot]

thanks

[ivory pecan]

does a campfire have to be lit t o stop enemies from spawning

[fair trench]

the world was telling me something when i sailed to the swamps

[soft frost]

how do i make stone more stable? this one is yellowish.

[raw quarry]

Iron poles

[severe creek]

Is there a way to remove stamina while raising ground etc. ? It's being very annoying

[soft frost]

@raw quarry thanks, but omg cannot be fucked to swamp rn

[steep tusk]

Get better stamina foods. 🤷‍♂️

[severe creek]

So there isn't any command?

[steep tusk]

Why would there be?

[severe creek]

Cause i need to fill a 500x200 meter long hole

[steep tusk]

Enjoy your framerate drop 👍

[manic gyro]

Setkey StaminaRate 0

[severe creek]

Can i deactivate later?

[manic gyro]

Yes, set it back to 100

[severe creek]

Kk, many thanks 👍

[shy yoke]

When do you get access to better food just got to swamp but still just eating boar meat deer meat and honey

[manic gyro]

In the black forest, check what you can build with tin

[west zealot]

without spoiling too much, are there dragons that you can tame and maybe even ride?

[true steeple]

No

[west zealot]

aight thx

[steep tusk]

You got access in the previous biome.

[steep tusk]

Ride? Yes. If you're good at jumping. But you do not control where they fly.
Tame? No.

[alpine tapir]

I have been running minced, deer stew, and carrot soup, I like it so far

@balmy ore

Updated because you said 37 skill

[marsh sleet]

My friend can join my private world but cant join any dedicated servers at all. its just stuck saying connecting for a long time and then disconnects. we tried looking up solutions and tried a lot of them but nothin seems to be working.

[balmy ore]

why are the numbers going down, I don't understand them 🙂

[steep tusk]

The number is how much hp you need to parry.

(or block depending on the column)

[balmy ore]

so there's no distinction between getting staggered or not yourself?

[steep tusk]

If you attempt to block/parry with lower hp than the number shown - stagger.
That's what the number is.

Just read the README page, it will be faster: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zuJ2BACwMq-cZXrc7fJOw8hDGp5ROKeBVcf73IzRrlw/edit?gid=2132535813#gid=2132535813

[balmy ore]

Does Multiplayer scaling affect block ?

[steep tusk]

No, but it completely changes how much damage is being done.... which changes all the math.... so lead with that very critical piece of information next time.....

🤦‍♂️

[frosty frost]

Since mobs do more dmg, yes.

[balmy ore]

that's a nice way to put it

[steep tusk]

Ok, read it in a less nice way then.
Because for once I actually meant to be rude.
Given you had multiple people trying to help you with this while choosing to omit vital information that would have resolved the issue almost immediately....

[balmy ore]

I forgot about MP scaling until I remembered. I get it you think you want to be helpful, when you just want to be rude on the internet, because it usually doesn't work out too well for you when you do that IRL

Maybe do something else when you're THAT bored.

[steep tusk]

Well that's a false assumption, but you do you.

[frosty frost]

Just as false as the assumption he intentionaly chose to withold that information 😉

[steep tusk]

No, historically that one is spot-on.
Just like the people who waste hours of our time only to eventually mention "modded btw"

[balmy ore]

Your time has no value, therefore it can't be wasted.

[steep tusk]

😂

[balmy ore]

of course the MP variable didn't cross YOUR mind either, because you can't find anyone to play this with you 🙂

good bye 🙂

[steep tusk]

Keep going...

[timid narwhal]

Guys just….

Don’t worry, be happy 😇😂

[alpine tapir]

somewhere you can dig down far enough around it to build a moat.

[tough hare]

Why build a moat when you can build on an island?
Best moat there is, is the one the game provides you.

[lilac coyote]

It was, yes.

[spare bramble]

Moats have more to do with pathing relative to convenience. Islands wont always be logistically efficient relative to the benefits

[subtle parrot]

Depends on the size of the island i suppose, or the amount of time you want to spend raising it's edges and spawnproofing the whole things. But if it's a relatively small island, but enough for a nice house maybe some exterior buildings or something even farm land. Spawn proofed island are basically impenetrable strongholds.

[tight berry]

Is there a devcommand that prevents drops? Sometimes I'm annoyed by all the drops in the way of what I'm building. Would be nice to just temporarily suspend the dropping mechanic.

[fleet cloud]

Hello guys! Can someone help me with a constant crash problem in random moments?
-Tried the game on windows 11 and windows 10.
-Reinstalled the game.
-Checked the files.
-No modes were ever installed.
-No overheating or overclocking.
-Armory create is on performance mod.
-Laptop is with Gforce 4070 , i9-14900HX and 32gb ram.
Gpu temp is near C78-83.

Crashes on solo and multiplayer mode on any settings.
Help
Thank you.

[cold crane]

I’ve seen an Emma potato’s video saying there isn’t but the plant everything mod allows u too assuming ur talking about branches, stone, mushrooms, ect

[tight berry]

Mostly I'm talking about the dropped resources you get back after deleting a part. My dev console ends up looking like "removedrops, removedrops, removedrops, removedrops, removedrops, removedrops, removedrops, removedrops..." 🤣

[cold crane]

Ah, try enabling the no build cost and see if that is what ur looking for

[tight berry]

No, that's just so build parts are free.

Maybe if there was a way to assign a key for "removedrops" so I didn't have to type it over and over.

[cold crane]

Ah ok sorry. I thought when build pieces were free and broken down they don’t return the resources but maybe I’m not remembering correctly

[tough hare]

Why not wait until you've demolished all and then use the command.
Would make things a lot easier, I think.

[steep tusk]

Ctrl+V?

[tight berry]

Wait, actually, now that I think of it, Hammer Mode disables dropped resources since the parts are free. I thought you meant the "no build cost" devcommand in debugmode. Yeah, Hammer Mode would take care of the issue, then I suppose I could change it back afterward.

[tight berry]

In theory, yes, but when you're experimenting on one specific thing, the drops often pile up and get in the way of what you're trying to look at.

[cold crane]

Yea that’s the one. I failed successfully there

[frosty frost]

If you enable debugmode there Is a dedicated key for that command 😉 (L iirc)

There Is also no cost key, fly key and few others which are incredibly helpfull when you want to be in "creative mode"🙂

[craggy storm]

is there a way to disable damage to structures in a ward
and
is there a way to make lights lifetime much longer or infinite like a standing torch

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

Are the only methods.

[shadow badge]

Hey, I'm relatively new to the topic of breeding. My question is: Can I breed wolves, boars, lox, and chickens nearby without them scaring each other?

[true steeple]

Once they're all tamed, yes

[shadow badge]

tyvm 🙂

[buoyant peak]

No

No

[charred nebula]

Can I use the download and pase in build mods from https://www.valheimians.com/ on pc then my xbox friend join the server with the build in it? or do they also need client side mods which don't allow it to run on xbox,or are they all server side and it will work ok?

[frosty frost]

#valheim-chat message

[brave ether]

thinking of building on an island for my new world. To anyone who has done it before, will i have any regrets/reasons not to. Is island life alot more tedious than i think its going to be

[tired arrow]

i have fully and thoroughly raided 6 fuling bases and i still only have 2 friggin totems!

i just wanna fight yagluth and get to mistlands already 😔

any help/tips?

[tough hare]

Look for the stone towers as well.
They could have a totem with them too.
I did get a totem from a 1 star beserker once, but I'm still not certain if that's a random drop from that creature or if it was intended.

In worst case; you can try the Valheim Map Generator to look for boss item spawn places.
In very worst case: spawn them in.

[tired arrow]

i did kill a 1 star fuling berserker, still didnt drop 1 lmao. Guess ill have to suck it up and just find more fuling bases

[tulip dawn]

I'm trying to manually download mods from thunderstore but the website just wont load when I press download, is there something on my end? my internet is fast, the site just wont work for some reason

[lilac coyote]

Why? Use the mod client it's much easier.

Also, #mods-discussion will get you better advice.

[tulip dawn]

island life is quite safe once you've spawn proofed it. going to either islands is usually a portal away or sail if you want to
some raids contain flying mobs but once you're past mountains it's not a hassle anymore

[lilac coyote]

Mountains is the first time you get a flying raid though.

[jolly hound]

[manic gyro]

That's an error from a mod, best to ask in #mods-issues

[jolly hound]

i found it, this mod was causing issue:
https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Nexus/InstantMonsterLootDrop/

[frail cave]

is there a way to find swamps or is it just random exploring

[tough hare]

It's just a matter of exploring.

To give you a hint, look for areas with dead trees and some trees having green pustules in the trunks.

And a tip: don't rush in and don't park a boat in / near it.
Better to enter it from another (friendly) biome as that gives better opportunities to get out there alive.

[frail cave]

Yeah, we already found one but it was just a tiny one

[tough hare]

There are bigger ones, trust me.

[frail cave]

Yeah, thats what were lookin gfor 😭 there was nothing in the one we found

[sterile jay]

I have a ton of totems I can give you a few if you need them in like 2-3hrs

[tired arrow]

thanks for the offer but a fuling base finally gave me 3 totems, 2 from the "stand" and 1 dropped by a fuling berserker
