[spark basalt]

I play on xbox with a ValHost server and I'm in the Ashlands I would just like to lower the chaos a bit and make it more enjoyable(so I don't want to throw my controller) it's there a way this is possible or do I have to start from new?

[dark rover]

always gives connection failure

I can't log into my friends' servers anymore always gives connection failure

[zinc narwhal]

do boars die if you dont feed them?

[clever juniper]

nope, they just won't tame or reproduce

[misty sage]

Also how exactly does the spawn limit work? Like if I have multiple animals in one pen, is the limit per animal or per species?

[iron wolf]

What are you looking to do to lower the chaos? Do you want less mobs?

[iron wolf]

Does he run his server on his own computer; if so, it may be down. If its on a commercial server host, then they are having issues or he didn't pay the bill.

[spark basalt]

Even just to lower the skill loss upon death would be good

[iron wolf]

Ah ok. If on a private server run by someone else, you have to ask them to make those changes to their configurations. I play on a highly modded serer, and Mistlands / Ashlands with 5 star creatures is chaos. If you are on your own server you can grab some mods from nexus to change the creature settings to dial down their spawn rate and numbers.
To disable skill loss on death in a Valheim server, you can use the console command setkey SkillReductionRate 0 or utilize a mod like DeathPenalty. The console command will need to be re-entered each time you start a session, while the mod offers a more permanent solution,

[spark basalt]

Ok I'll give that a try thank you very much for the help I appreciate it

[iron wolf]

Roger that. Also keep in mind, you have to put the time in to grind skills higher, find some GreyDwarf, Skeleton, Fuling spawning areas and camp them. Boars are good for getting block skill high also.

[frail cave]

Why can't I put wolves in a hole and tame them anymore? It used to work, now the mob disappears in less than 5 minutes

Was there an update? Or is it my part that has a problem?

Or maybe it's poorly covered?

[jade olive]

Sounds like your getting night time wolfs and if you leave them to go do other things they will disappear. So unless your close by to baby sit, they will poof on you. So if you get a 2 star be prepared to be close. Maybe get that new potion to tame faster but you got to be around or there gone.

[tough hare]

Night time wolves won't disappear when taming has started, so start teh taming first, then cover up that hole.

[hardy badger]

How do I play with a friend who has mods while also playing with those mods? I'm using thunderstore.

[steep tusk]

#mods-issues #mods-discussion

[hasty tartan]

Don't go too far away from them, keep within rendering distance, once they are tamed they will not dissapear from moving too far away.

[grim vessel]

what lvl silver sword and draugr fang is recommended for yag?

[rustic dagger]

guys, i have problem, then i drop something to my friendo, he dont see it, and then he cant pick up it, in logs item have owner

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword max.
Draugr Fang doesn't matter because all you will use is Silver Sword.

[grim vessel]

oh damn. also is there a recommendation for frostner for mist? i heard its alright and rn its my main weapon

[rustic dagger]

its hapens then we are near to the chests

[steep tusk]

If you enjoy Frostner, use Frostner.

I personally will never recommend it because I personally hate it.
But that is me, personally.

If you enjoy Frosnter, use Frostner.

[grim vessel]

i mean yea ofc i dont mind ur opinion and still will use it, may i ask why hate it?

[steep tusk]

Because my weapon should not make it more difficult for me to kill things.

Frostner has the knockback of an NFL punter for no reason, making follow-up attacks nearly impossible on most enemies.
Making it take longer to kill them given the amount of time spent walking over to them.

[placid basalt]

is there a ward nearby?

[grim vessel]

oh interesting, i mean i can see the knockback issue, but i dont think its that bad, like if i hold w while i swing 90% of the time i land the next hits consecutively

[rustic dagger]

no

[placid basalt]

the knockback is the reason i like Frostner...

[grim vessel]

and that too, if ur in a pickle, throwing enemies a bit further is great way to make space and keep composure

[steep tusk]

So if the knockback was the secondary attack only so I could control when I wanted to punt and when I wanted to kill = amazing.

As it is, dogshit weapon (imo) that I will never recommend to anyone.
But I accept many people like it.

[grim vessel]

mhm thats fair. can i ask what ur preference for weapon is at this point of game? (plains). im not switching just curious

[steep tusk]

Axes and Spears are my favorite weapons.

[placid basalt]

I'll admit i'm definitely not the best at combat so the knockback+slow helps me manage encounters

[grim vessel]

yea thats fair. i was running an axe til bone and then started using clubs hence why frostner was my next choice coz i like clubs

[steep tusk]

Being an axe main pays off in Ashlands.

And spears are just so much fun. Highest attack speed in the game goes brrrrrrrrr.

[grim vessel]

yea can definitely see the enjoyment in both of those, i was considering going back to axes later on when i switched but guess ill see whats ahead before i decide, i like to chose when i get there

[steep tusk]

Axe as main weapon also saves you an inventory slot.

[grim vessel]

yea thats why i chose them early on

[hasty tartan]

Played through the game 4 times and every time I did it with diff wep combinations, I'm doing 2handed weps this run and LOVE it. Underated as hell imo in all "guides and minmax" speaks.

Maces though have a very high knockback and you want to land the 3rd hit in your combo since it almost allways have x2 dmg and low stamina cost considering the dmg, not to forget at that time you will reach the stagger limit many times and the next attack will be crit. With a mace that is tricky sometimes, but I LOVED Frostner my 1st playyhrough and it stuck with me deep into mistlands when after everything else was uppgraded I went for wep last.

Also play around with the frost dmg, since if mobs comes from water and are wet, they die FAST

[twin monolith]

hello, when should i use the 2nd speed option on a boat and not the third?

[frosty frost]

When you have some obstacles in a way you need to maneuver around bit more carefully

[compact sentinel]

Beat the elder but there are no suken crypts around me. I have killed 10 wolves but found no silver around edge of mountains. The closest island that has 1 sunken crypt has 8 troll caves and the trolls are relentless, as you all know... Any advice. I feel stuck in the game.

[frosty frost]

Sail and look for other swamp 🙂

[twin monolith]

so basically its just the third option but slower?

[frosty frost]

It is a slower speed

[twin monolith]

okay ty

[compact sentinel]

Been trying. THe one area with tons of crypts is a island of almost only swamps

[frosty frost]

Then that is what you are looking for 😄 whats the problem?

[twin monolith]

no seed is unbeatable if that is what you mean

[compact sentinel]

DEATH!!!

[warm python]

is there a key to adjust height when I build a 1x1 or 2x2 floor? I just started

[frosty frost]

Hold shift to disable snap points 🙂

[warm python]

ty I love this game

[frosty frost]

Most of us do 😄

[wraith goblet]

hello guys are there any mods to stop people from cheating materials or items/upgrading character from a local server to a dedicated one?

[frosty frost]

You can ask in #mods-discussion 🙂 Tho Valheim is meant to be played with friends who you can trust to not do stuff like that.

[wraith goblet]

Ooo thank you, fairly new on the server so I'm asking on a general chat.. Anyway yes I'm playing with some friends and randoms and it seems like they are cheating materials lol..

[tired root]

Like most of us, Butter Bun.

[midnight quarry]

Hi I'm new to playing with others in valheim. And I noticed it seems like we get triple drops. I won't get in trouble for that right?

[frosty frost]

That is most likely a world modifier the owner set up 🙂 its part of vanilla game

[tired root]

Don't worry about getting in trouble, we won't tell.

[kind light]

Hi, I've been my friend grouip's farmer, but the sheer amount of carrots I'm planting and harvesting is getting tedious. how can I minimise this

[true steeple]

Get another friend to farm with you

[small nest]

does ash rain damage stone buildings?

[lapis terrace]

yes

[uncut mirage]

there is a tool you will unlock that will help when you find the bog witch

[tight berry]

Is there a build part limit for each world ... or account?

[frosty frost]

Nope, you can build untill your device gives up 😄

[soft frost]

how can i safely collect tar from a tar pit without getting in it?

[frosty frost]

Dig a channel to drain it 🙂

[steep tusk]

And you are the one who told ME "no spoilers" 😏

[soft frost]

thank you

[frosty frost]

How is that a spoiler? They asked how to collect the tar from tar pit, this is the only answer.

[steep tusk]

Technically no.
There are other ways to remove it.

[frosty frost]

If they involve devcommands then...

[soft frost]

within 3 hours of plains i found all 5 totems lol

[ornate finch]

Try to remove the server you are trying to connect to from your favorite list, and then re-add the same server but with a new join code. Don't use or click on other tabs other than favorite tab, or else you might get throttled for 20 sec and won't be able to connect or host during that time.

[lilac coyote]

That's not a spoiler dude. That's an answer to a direct question. If they had asked, how do I get tar in the Plains THEN it would probably count as a spoiler.

[lime wagon]

is there a secret to getting the ground actually level?

[lilac coyote]

Using the hoe.

[lime wagon]

yes, I meant with the hoe. mine still stays lopsided even if I raise it up then level it again

[soft frost]

winmdmill needs to be in open space correct?

@soft frost yes

[steep tusk]

#mods-issues

[soft frost]

uhh i feel like my hot tub is bugged it like turns on ev ery 30 seconds

its stacked with wood tho, or is that just how it works?

[lilac coyote]

Is it getting smoked out?

[soft frost]

oh do i need an open roof above it>?

[frosty frost]

That or enough space for the smoke to dissipate

[steep tusk]

Indeed.

[soft frost]

noted, fixed now

yea it was next to my main fire which has roof so it took time for the smoke to dissipate but now i would one above it TY guys

[compact heath]

Yes, the limit is reached when you build so many build pieces in your world that it melts your graphics card or cpu 🙂 (No limit from the actual game but the more you build in a small area the more performance is required, you can build as much as you want if its in a few locations because then less performance impact)

[kind light]

thanks btw

[foggy herald]

Any idea if far-away constructions might (eventually) affect performance? Or do they just increase the save file size? Do they increase saving and loading times?

[compact heath]

if its far enough away, a few zones away it will not affect performance, it will increase file size and saving time quite a bit and loading times a little bit but not too much from my experience on my servers

if a zone is far enough away from you, and a zone is 64x64 m if I remember, it will not be loaded at all so no performance impact

[spare turtle]

solved Hi! Trying to play on xbox and it's not letting me craft a hammer or anything else. Help please.

[jade olive]

When it come to the Root about how long dose it take to refill with energy?

[misty sage]

Can two star wolves spawn anywhere or do you have to be a certain distance from spawn? Either way, does the distance from spawn increase odds?
I know it's a low rate and night only, but I still feel like my luck is a little too bad.

[foggy herald]

Valheim wiki: The reservoir of sap in an ancient root regenerates at a rate of 1 sap per 400 seconds, up to a maximum storage of 50 sap.

[jade olive]

Ahh thank you for the info

[jade olive]

I found they can spawn anywhere in the mountains. Usualy though a bigger moutain will give you better luck.

[compact heath]

I think its anywhere, I also have a feeling or inkling that I have heard at some stage, that they share spawn with Fenring, so I always mark those on the mountains where I find them, I have very often found 2 stars near there. (Not confirmed anywhere afaik)

[frosty frost]

Only at night and 800m or more from spawn 🙂

[undone kite]

this log wont fall lmao 😭

[foggy herald]

Is it actually stuck, or just balancing? Never seen it happen, but I suppose it’s possible. I wouldn’t touch it, just leave it as a funny anomaly. If you walk into it, it will likely fall over.

[undone kite]

theres nothing there to keep it that way its just balancing

[foggy herald]

Don’t cut nearby trees as they might knock it over.

[undone kite]

too late 😢
already cut it up needed to make a new roof

[foggy herald]

Bruh

At least you got a screenshot I guess.

There are thousands (millions?) of other trees :P

[karmic hearth]

I had a log perfectly balanced on another tree's branch once.

[high fossil]

got a 1,3 gb update tonight, but i dont saw any patch notes yet, anyone knows whats new ?

[buoyant peak]

nothing

[high fossil]

thanks

[frail cave]

Is there possibly a simple guide for making a longhouse/a-frame or umm...roofing?

[compact heath]

plenty of youtube videos but its hard to find some spoiler free ones sometimes

[mighty ermine]

i have never seen so many fulings in a village before, wow! -- how you supposed to take on 30 of them LOL

[river leaf]

Hello, how to use projectile ?

[river leaf]

how do you have craft for weapon sombracier ?

[karmic hearth]

You need a special part from Mistlands. Then you can build a ballista to load the missiles in.

[river leaf]

we find it on desert ?

[karmic hearth]

No, you craft it at the Artisan Table once you got Refined Eitr

[river leaf]

l'eitr ?

[karmic hearth]

You probably didn't progress far enough into Mistlands, which biome are you atm? Still in the plains?

[river leaf]

i just finish the snow

[karmic hearth]

Then you don't have to bother with missiles since you are too far away from crafting the required parts

[river leaf]

i'm on desert now ?

[karmic hearth]

Yellow grass?

[river leaf]

it's not this biom after snow ?

[karmic hearth]

Yep, that's plains. It succeeds the mountains

[river leaf]

ohh it's not desert ?

but yeah i'm in plains so

[tough hare]

One at the time?

[buoyant peak]

build a ballista

[lilac coyote]

Sometimes I do wonder if you read before replying.

[river leaf]

Crossbow ?

[frosty frost]

There will be new buildable structure you unlock in mistlands that can be used for base defense 🙂

[river leaf]

it's for defend base ?

[frosty frost]

Yes 🙂

[river leaf]

all right thanks mate

[river leaf]

doesn't work

[buoyant peak]

how?

[river leaf]

you speak about this ?

[river leaf]

for use this ?

[buoyant peak]

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

[river leaf]

ohhh ok i didn't got the craft

[lilac coyote]

Well, you won't yet.

[alpine tapir]

funny story, I put a scaffold around a birch tree that I couldn't cut down at the time, to make it do this so it wouldn't fall on my house 😆

[topaz igloo]

I’ve had worse, took a village yesterday with about 30 fulings and 4 one start berserkers and one 2 start berserker it was pain a suffering even with tier 2 flametal armor

[wraith goblet]

hello guys so i used devcommands to set the day to .35 but it seems like the day is not resuming anymore. how do i fix it?

[frosty frost]

Iirc tod -1 could fix it 🙂

[wraith goblet]

thank you!!

[frosty frost]

Or restart the world 😄

[alpine tapir]

I use maces for groups. I "save" the third hit for the stragglers that usually attack last in a mob's pattern, since the mace chain combo has a few milliseconds here or there you can buffer hits and still chain the combo.

[arctic imp]

Hello, I want to use some devcomands in my valheim server, who is hosted on another pc. Can anyone have some clue for add an user to be admin ?

[steep tusk]

devcommands don't work on servers.

[frosty frost]

Even when added as an admin you still cant use most devcommands, only the one who is running the server on their pc can

[arctic imp]

oh so that's for real...

it's a shame 😢

[frosty frost]

As an admin you can use commands like kick, ban, unban that sort of thing, but commands like spawn etc only owner

[arctic imp]

ok thanks for the answer

just need to find some usefull mod tho

[frosty frost]

Why would you need commands for that?

[alpine tapir]

stealth archery

[arctic imp]

just for fly 😅
We play in vanilla but i decided making a giant tower so it's pretty usefull to fly for building contruction

[surreal quiver]

does anyone have advice for fishing?????

[twin monolith]

it takes time and its not worth it at all

[bleak marsh]

I had a lil question for yall!

Got some greydwarfs spawning right in my crops and blasting away half of them everytime they spawn.

Would a torch keep them from spawning? I tried the ol underground workbench, but it gets destroyed when I bury it.

[bleak marsh]

Hi, you can only level the ground to a certain extent with the hoe, to raise the ground you can do it with stone using the hoe, but to lower it, you're gonna need a pickaxe!

[lime wagon]

very helpful thank you! thanks for giving me an actual answer 🙂

[bleak marsh]

Anytime! 🙂

[alpine tapir]

is minced meat sauce the best health food to make with neck tails? I have plenty of poison resist mead and don't wanna waste em if there's something better to make with em.

[bleak marsh]

You probably already know, but you can also grill them, but that's about it.

[alpine tapir]

hmm ok.

[lament plaza]

Hi everyone. Could someone please help me with this question? I have a friend with the following computer. Could you please tell me if it meets the game's minimum requirements? Thank you!

[surreal quiver]

Question: are abominations giant greydwarfs ????

[buoyant peak]

no

[sleek herald]

😬 that CPU looks a lil....umm....what's the phrase....probably not?

@lament plaza don't think so

[night knoll]

Hey gang, I rent a server from valhost. my four friends and i are now in the ashlands and of course it's bad lag. I was thinking of trying better networking, but not sure how to set it up when using a rented server. any help would be appreciated on navigating this! not sure it'll work, but I want to try whatever I can.

[undone kite]

how can i use this mod in a server?

i play with my friend i want him to have it too
its not a dedicated server

You probably want to ask the folks in#mods-discussion, maybe #dedicated-server

[sullen lynx]

spawn the "Mysterious Rock" only in new area?

[true steeple]

It wont generate in areas explored before the update.
It also has to be more than 1000m from the centre of the world.

[sullen lynx]

Thank you for the answer

[glossy sequoia]

Ay would anyone be able to tell me if there is a vanity armor slot mod sort of like in terraria available?

How can i submit a build of the month while not having any social media?

Possible through here?

[grim vessel]

anybody got any tips, im venturing out towards the located yagluth ive found, and will want to put a portal nearby, but im worried it will get destroyed

[faint osprey]

dig a hole under the platform and place it there

[grim vessel]

under the spawner? really?

[faint osprey]

ye i always do that

[grim vessel]

and its never been destroyed?

[faint osprey]

yes

[grim vessel]

surely if i die tho it will lock on to it tho

[faint osprey]

he cant reach it

its under an indestructible platform

[grim vessel]

yeah fair ill scout it out when i get there. im going to get the other two totems before i venture there

[faint osprey]

just make sure to place it as deep as you can

also if you place it correctly you could spawn on top of the platform when you go to that portal

[grim vessel]

surely fulings can get down to break it?

[faint osprey]

if they get pushed in by a diffrent mob they can

so just build a wall infront of the portal and it will be fine

[faint osprey]

its quite unlikely to happen tho

[grim vessel]

yeah alright, ty for the help

[grim vessel]

also anyone got tips for totems? ive searched this entite massive plains, and killed all brutes (about 9-10 of the brutes, and no totem from them) and 3 from towers and camps ( ive raided like atleast ten camps)

[slender frost]

Hey guys. I just put the ancient seeds in my tool bar and pressed the number over the fire for the elder like usual but i just ate the seed instead lol. Any idea whats going on? What am i forgetting? Tia

[faint osprey]

bug?

[slender frost]

Yea. I think imma log and log back in. This has never happened and I am eating all my seeds! lmao

[grim vessel]

i mean like idk if u can do them one at a time but how many u put in?

[slender frost]

I mean, I put the seeds in the 1 slot on hot bar, walked to fire until it gave me the "1-8 burn seeds" prompt or w/e and then when I press 1, it just eats the seed instead of offering it.

[grim vessel]

how many seeds didu have?

but yea ive never had that happen

[slender frost]

I have like 15 total on me and I have tried it with the whole stack in the slot, 3 in slot and just one in the slot.

Then pressing the button

[grim vessel]

weird

[slender frost]

Yea, logging back in now to see if it was a bug. I am playing Valheim Remastered, but I dont see that being effected by the mod.

[grim vessel]

i mean definitely could be caused by it

[slender frost]

Yea, fair enough. Its still happening so I cant progress lol. Bummer. Ill play around with it a bit but every time i ask anything in the modded help channel i dont get an answer. Maybe ill try to find their discord.

[subtle parrot]

Yeh that's 100% a #mods-issues

[nocturne zenith]

My gf is trying to launch the game, and absolutely nothing is happening. It says she is playing

[rain parcel]

anyone knows what this plant is called? I want to spawn as decorations

[delicate sorrel]

You can plant it using mods. Like "Plant everything"

[steep tusk]

Tree.

[foggy raven]

would anyone sell some troll hide/upgraded troll gear or some other light gear? im getting my ass kicked in the swamp

[frosty frost]

Why not go hunt trolls?

[steep tusk]

Or just spawn it yourself?
"That's cheating" - You have no way to know if the person who "sold" you the hide just spawned it themselves.

But yes, hunting trolls is the better path.

[little trench]

any ways to make the game more difficult on normal?

for example some console commands that can modify enemy spawns? (i.e pack size)

[frosty frost]

Look through global keys 🙂 tho this paticular thing cant really be done with devcommands i believe https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Keys

You can tweak usage of stamina, its regen, skill gain and reduction rate, player dmg, mobs size and speed...

[buoyant peak]

Devcommands > console > spawn HideTroll 30

Done

[frosty frost]

Ehm, Console > devcommands > spawn TrollHide 30*

[buoyant peak]

I had it like that at first and thought it was incorrect

[frosty frost]

I meant more the order, but yeah also the id 😄

[molten mountain]

turn off the map if you want real difficulty 😉

[little trench]

speaking more about combat difficulty

[frosty frost]

Then the combat difficulty slider or make your own 🙂 most of the things i listed above would work quite well for it

[spare turtle]

I am hosting on PC and my boyfriend lagged out (he is on xbox) and now it will not let him rejoin my game. He deleted it from his list to try a fresh join and it keeps saying it cannot resolve join code and will not let him join my game. Before he deleted the session, it just had a red x and wouldn't let him back in. How do we fix this?

[cloud patio]

Just got to the plains, where do i find the boss map location thingys

[mortal lagoon]

is troll armor or bronze armor better

[tired root]

Depends if you appreciate bit more armor or bit more movement speed.
Comparing same quality, full bronze armor has total 6 more armor than troll armor but gets -10% movement speed penalty (from chest and leggings, helmets don't have movement speed penalty).

[uncut mirage]

Bronze is a bit better armor rating but light troll armor makes you faster which is more valuable imo

[mortal lagoon]

hmm i see, thanks

now im wondering what weapon to go for, sword vs club vs spear

[surreal quiver]

does anyone have any tips on abomination hunting

[crude heron]

i guess its the right place?
i been wondering. flametal shield worth it? I run carapace buckler rn. I upgraded my frostner to a lightning mflametal mace.
is the flametal shield so much better, or should i just keep the 2.5 parry shield?

run around swamps, keep an eye for greenish stumps

as for actually killing them, if you need help with that, they are tree. use the weapon for that

[surreal quiver]

Yup, i just need to know how to find them

[clever juniper]

so long as you parry, the carapace buckler has the most block currently. Flametal shields are best if you are having trouble timing blocks

[steep tusk]

Worth being subjective to the individual and all...

Depends on if you exclusively parry or if you want non-parry blocking power.

[crude heron]

i guess it doesn't hurt since i do not perfectly parry everything. like morgen/valkyrie attacks.

[steep tusk]

Shield balance is an interesting concept 😏

[restive copper]

i bought a server on nitrado but it doesnt work

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[tired root]

Killing them, use slash weapon or lure into fire. Finding them, look out for odd looking stumps.

[tight berry]

Which is more important at the beginning of the bronze age, cauldron or mead ketill + fermenter?

[tired root]

3 good weapon types with all 3 different physical damage types. Each are good in different situations.

[steep tusk]

Buckler difference between Bronze->Iron is +12
So technically if you carry that up the Carapace should be only 64, but it is 78 (where technically the Flametal one would be 76)

Shields on the other hand are all actually spaced at 18 per tier.

Tower Shield are have no discernable pattern.
Wood -> Bone is +22
But then Bone -> Iron is only +20
Iron -> Serpent is +8
Blackmetal -> Flametal is +36 but across 2 tiers so that averages to +18

Make it make sense 😭

[mortal lagoon]

if i was only going to make one, which would u recommend? btw what about the bone weapons

[steep tusk]

1. What Bone weapon?
2. Make the weapon you personally enjoy the playstyle of the most. There is no wrong answer.

[mortal lagoon]

these bone weapons

[steep tusk]

-> #mods-discussion please.

[mortal lagoon]

oh these are from mods mb

[steep tusk]

No harm no foul. Just we got channels for that where you can receive better help.

[tired root]

Cauldron unlocks some better foods already, I would go with that personally.

[steep tusk]

Def Cauldron. Food being the most important stat in the game.

[tight berry]

My cauldron only has boar jerky and queen's jam recipes. How do I unlock the mead bases?

[keen vale]

you need to grow carrots to get additional recipes

[tight berry]

Aaaaaaaaaaah

[surreal quiver]

Cauldron

[keen vale]

Yeah you get way better foods. I personally make a large carrot farm for taht reason so then I'll have 200+ carrots at any given time. and not have to worry about constantly farming to keep up.

Plant carrot seeds from Black forest then plat the carrots again to grow carrots seeds then plant again etc. until you have a large carrot farm

[alpine tapir]

does heaving to work in valheim when sailing gets too rough and you start taking wave damage?

since it's tied to speed?

[tired root]

Mead bases from mead ketill.

And also you have to have found honey.

[compact heath]

yeah lots of players even the ones that build the mead ketill forget about the honey quite often

[true steeple]

Boar jerky requires honey so that’s not a problem

[trail seal]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem. Unfortunately, I can no longer create items or update things at my forge.
He says "missing prerequisites".

I have already done the following:

• Game closed
• Forge placed new
• Items checked
• had enough weight
• Armor stripped

All without success. Can anyone help me?

[grim vessel]

guys i was gonna put a portal under the yagluth spawner but theres water when i mine, what do i do?

theres also a tar pit somewhat closeeee

idk what to do about the pit

i mean i can try to stay on the other side ig

[placid basalt]

Always always always clear out an area before a boss fight.

[uncut mirage]

can you send a screenshot

[trail seal]

sure

[tired root]

Any mods in use?

[trail seal]

yes

smithy range and other QOL

[tired root]

Then https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 might help better.

[steep tusk]

☝️

[grim vessel]

So guys any recommendations for the tar pit that’s next to my Yagluth? Don’t they keep spawning even after I drain it?

[trail seal]

[trail seal]

ok

thx

[little trench]

what affects the ability to successfully parry? (without you getting staggered)

hp and block armor?

[tired root]

Basically those affect the most, also bucklers have higher parry multiplier (2,5x) compared to round shields (1,5x).

[ornate finch]

The Iron stack of 12 you have is probably corrupt. Don't put any more Iron into that stack of Iron, and get a new stack

Do you remember how you obtained this 12 Iron? Did you recently smelt all 12 of it, or combines some Iron you recently smelted with some older stack?
Spawned any iron? Had a teammate bring you some Iron?

[trail seal]

we spawned a few things and also built them without building costs and then tore them down again when we moved. at this point in time, however, we had building costs again. A mate also transported all the iron. I can't say exactly where the iron comes from, but it's a good tip in any case. I'll try it out right away.

yeah with other iron it works

[ornate finch]

There's a good chance that who ever spawned the Iron, they used a spawn command in a wrond way.
Check this post: #valheim-help message

[trail seal]

thx 🙂

[grim vessel]

i killed yagluth!!!

[full sinew]

Is it possible to build your own boat/raft in Valheim?

[buoyant peak]

No

[little trench]

custom? no

[full sinew]

Thanks! Unfort tho

[little trench]

yea :/

imagine hjaving a ship with a captain's room and u can place a portal there

[digital bridge]

welp how can i close this gap?
everytime i raise the ground it also clips thru inside the house and if i destroy the clipping part well i get this gap

[karmic hearth]

Tried the hoe to level the ground?

[true steeple]

Put a second wall inside the house to hide the clipping terrain

[uncut mirage]

might have to rebuild the house after you fix the terrain, bit difficult to do it while the building is there

[tough hare]

You won't be able to completely remove it. Best way to deal with it is to get it as straight as possible, build your wall at the footing of it; then build that wall up until it's even with the top of the raised land; build a floor and let the floor * extend* over the gap. Build a new wall at the outside of the floor and all will look good.

It will also mean you got a larger building at the higher level, but eventually you're going to love that bit of extra space you got.

[haughty adder]

whats the difference when opening on steam play valheim using Vulkan or just play valheim?

[crude heron]

terraforming in this game is.... special

[lilac coyote]

I thought it was fairly normal.

[lilac coyote]

You can either use DirectX (default) or Vulkan for your graphics. Vulkan can give better performance but it depends on your system.

[haughty adder]

ah oki thanks i just didnt know and was curious

[inland girder]

Are the pet rocks just an april fools thing or can they be found all year long

[lilac coyote]

They're permanent.

[sullen breach]

do you think she is surrounded by mistlands?

[ebon marsh]

Possibly however just as possible the south border of the mountains is by the ocean that connects to the Ashland’s ocean

[subtle parrot]

That's damn near ashlands

[uncut mirage]

there are at least 4 moder locations. try looking north

[sullen breach]

yeah I was suprised

I feel like I am good enough at the game to traverse through mistlands this early, but Im not sure

[ebon marsh]

Scout the edge of the island first you might get lucky

[sullen breach]

I am playing with two friends who haven't played before though, so I'm not sure how well that would go

[ebon marsh]

Personally I wouldn’t take the risk knowing if I died in Mistlands with pre moder gear it’d be a huge pain in the ass to retrieve

[sullen breach]

well there can't be a mountain anywhere in the red water

[ebon marsh]

It can border the ocean due to the way Ashland’s generation works

[sullen breach]

probably on the edge though

yeah

[subtle parrot]

I wouldn't, personally would just go to the NE area from your spawn and look for mountains over there to find another vegvisir or alter

[ebon marsh]

plus it would be a good launch point in the future when you set sail for Ashland’s

[sullen breach]

I could, but that would take a while

[sullen breach]

that is true

[uncut mirage]

Lot of boss locations, don't have to go to the first one you find

[sullen breach]

ik

in relation to your map, she would probably around here, which is between mistlands

[uncut mirage]

yeah, that's a hard sail for moder. But what an adventure lol

[sullen breach]

fr

[topaz igloo]

Is there anyway to keep build pieces from burning in lava or is it just that

[sullen breach]

are they in the lava or next to it?

[steep tusk]

Flametal.

[topaz igloo]

At the moment neither, wanted to see if there was a way or my idea for a build wouldn't work

[sullen breach]

if you have fire spreds off, then having it next to the lava will work, but if it touces the lava, then no

[topaz igloo]

Alright, thanks

[sullen breach]

i decided to go north to find a new moder, and I gound yagluth!

[mortal lagoon]

whats the next boss after deer and where is it?

[sullen breach]

It's the elder, and it is in the black forest

You can a stone that shows his location in dungeons and against stone buildings

[mortal lagoon]

wdym

[steep tusk]

Go to next biome.
Find the dungeons.
In dungeons you will find the same red stone that showed you where Eikthyr was.

[sullen breach]

You know how you got the location to the deer boss from a red stone at spawn?

It will look the same and you can find it in dungeons and in stone buildings

[steep tusk]

Would not even worry about BF boss until you have all the BF resources and upgrades though.

[mortal lagoon]

i didnt find eikthyr with a stone i just found it while exploring lol

[mortal lagoon]

i got fully upgraded bronze gear

[steep tusk]

So you've been ignoring the bird this whole time?

[mortal lagoon]

uh i missed a few of them but i read most

[steep tusk]

One of the very first birds is sitting on the Vegvisir (red stone) and he explains how they work and how they show you the bosses.

This is before you even leave the spawn ring.

[alpine tapir]

is there any significance to these big stone circle thingies?

I see them all over the place.

[steep tusk]

Someone took the time to put them there. That's it.

[uncut mirage]

My guess is they are spawn locations for the sacred stones or just stone henges

[lilac coyote]

No, they were intended to be static portal locations back in early development.

[alpine tapir]

cool, I was planning to make them portal hubs anyway

[astral jetty]

Sigh... Lox are adorable
I don't want them to be caged, but I don't want my entire base to get destroyed the moment one mossquito shows up either

[jade olive]

I wanted to ask whats the secret to building with glass but I kinda know most of it. But I see so many builds with a huge amount. Could I assume that these builds are made with mods? Also is there any info on light source radius? I'm curious to which items have a large light sourse.

[sweet cape]

anyone in here able to help me add mods to my own dedicated server?

[tired root]

You could ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 for better help.

[sweet cape]

thanks

[crude heron]

i would assume people want windows

[crude heron]

someone mentioned yesterday that some skill can be converted to elemental damage, and then appears purple. is this a one time thing?
iirc it was some basic attack modifier.
are there more that turn purple?

[sand onyx]

can sum1 help me please

why is the angler fish not taking the baiti

ive been here for like 7 minutes already

[stoic trench]

You’re using misty bait? Made from lox trophies?

[sand onyx]

yupp

[jade olive]

Are you fishing where you can see them or are you fishing in mistlands water?

[jade olive]

Yes but how are they makeing large windows with out supports. Glass dosent stack with out attachments and the ones I see I wonder how they got so big without?

[tired root]

You have the right bait (||misty||)?

[sonic laurel]

Do Gulls eat carrot crops? I keep coming back to my base with my crops mostly gone. They're enclosed by a fence already, so it's not Greydwarves or boars destroying them

[lilac coyote]

Gulls aren't really mobs, so no.

[sonic laurel]

It's the only thing I could think of that could get to them. Would Greydwarves throw rocks at carrot crops, maybe?

[crude heron]

sure it's not hares?

[sonic laurel]

I'm in meadows and I'm playing on Xbox

idk how far back patch wise the Xbox version is, but I've definitely never seen hide nore hare of hares

[lilac coyote]

All platforms have the same game.

[sonic laurel]

Well that's good to know.

[uncut mirage]

Coz the hares are hiding

[lilac coyote]

They're also not in the biome he's reached so far.

[balmy hatch]

Can more than one of the same Hildir chest be turned in? Does that to anything like add additional items or lower the prices?

[lilac coyote]

No, only one per tier.

[ebon marsh]

Rest are good for decoration tho

[manic gyro]

Yes, if they can see them they might throw rocks at them

And are you sure your field is spawn proofed? If not, mobs could spawn inside your fence

[sonic laurel]

How do I make sure it's spawn proofed?

I haven't seen any mobs spawn inside the fences, though

[manic gyro]

Place base pieces (fires, torches, workbenches for example), they supress spawns in a 20m radius
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[tough hare]

You could use the 1m high walls around your fields to block the entrance to them, then set torches at regular distances around your base to make sure nothing won't enter.
Workbenches work too, as you can very nicely see where the overlap is.

[sonic laurel]

Ah, okay. Yeah, I definitely have workbenches places plenty around

I gotta set up some nice aesthetic torches, too, though

I appreciate the help

[mortal lagoon]

does using a floor count as a roof in builds?

[true steeple]

Wooden floors don't, but I'm pretty sure stone floors do

[tough hare]

Stone, Black Marble and Grausten floors count as a "roof".

[foggy raven]

is there a way to reset levels? I slowly kill myself every time i jump because my jump is 50

[true steeple]

How far have you progressed? Eventually you unlock a way to avoid fall damage.

A high jump skill is very useful for dodging some attacks

[foggy raven]

i just got to the swamp. i bonked my head into a shelf for jump levelling but now its hurting me lol

[true steeple]

Fall damage prevention comes at biome 6. How much is it actually hurting? With your normal food you’re probably able to regenerate faster than you take damage if you aren’t jumping excessively.

[viral cave]

Some days, when you're just doing base stuff, you might not have eaten food

[tough hare]

When having the ability to prepare feasts, you're able to do 50 minutes of base building without having to worry about getting killed....

[wise drum]

yo i use to play like 3 years ago and had a massive house but when i load into the same world{i believe its same world} my map is not discovered and its all foggy and idk where my house was? what can i do

[clever juniper]

best option would be to fly around while in god mode temporarily just to find where your house is

also check your map for a bed potentially

[frozen moss]

Someone put a ward up in my built base while i was away at work.
I ran out of time/resources to build a ward of my own. im now locked in my own house.

[jade olive]

you should be able to smash a wall out and then take out that ward

yeah I had to turn it on

hey does anyone know why i've been unable to join any of my friends the last 2 days? it either sails failed to connect, or failed to resolve join code, i havnt changed anything

[hollow herald]

I'm still new to the game and I was wondering. If I join an NA server based world, would it affect my game experience? like lagging, I'm based on SEA

Guys, help me, I've made a cutting table and I have meat and thistles in my hands. But there were no recipes in it. What to do? I only have 2 mods, hardly because of them. (For crafting chests and armor in separate slots) I play it 1 time.

You can unlock recipes here by fishing, progressing into plains or buying ingredients from the bog witch.

If you want some better food for the swamps, build a cauldron improvement

Nope, doesent have to be.

ok good, because I'm on my 3rd bonemass swamp and no sign yet lol

[frosty frost]

She will also appear only in areas you have not generated before the Bog witch update 🙂

[uncut mirage]

no worries its a new seed

[dense minnow]

I'm on xbox. I have put in a significant amount of time in to valhiem. And went on hiatus for a few months from gaming in general. Tried to hope on today. And it says I need to be logged in. And or I need the rights to the game.
I un-installed and reinstalled same thing. So I did the free trial. To see if my info was still there. It is.
So short of rebuking this which I'm not doing is there anything I can do?

[frosty frost]

Did you use to play on gamepass?

[dense minnow]

No I had it before it went to game pass.

[frosty frost]

Hmm, then i dont know what could be the reason, valheim is no longer on gamepass since the fall of previous year i believe, so i thought it might be that.

[dense minnow]

Lol figures. I'm not tech savy. Oh well.
Thanks though.

[subtle dagger]

I'm also having pc-xbox sync problems on valheim so maybe we have to wait

Can you try see if you can play xbox valheim on pc

[dense minnow]

I don't have a pc

[queen zealot]

I'm a returning player from April 22 got as far as the snow but stopped playing, do I need a new world or can I continue I've update even though I've not played practically every time there was an update... What do you think...?

[frosty frost]

You can still use your old world 🙂 all new content will generate in unexplored areas

[queen zealot]

That's good I do think there was quite a bit of my map that wasn't uncovered... Thanks...

[frosty frost]

And if you want to use it in the future after Deep North comes i recommend to not explore too much to north 😄

[queen zealot]

Sounds like good advice just had a look at my map and about 70% of it is unexplored... Thanks...

[steep tusk]

Asatru? Good advice? No... this cannot be... 😏😉

[frosty frost]

Oh my, i might get offended 😏

[young forum]

Is it safe to build where old ruins are ?

[steep tusk]

Safe? In Valheim?

[jade olive]

I am no means a expert on this but I wanted to try and help. From what I have researched you have to have an Xbox live to play and you need to buy the game out right. Sep 30 they took it off game pass. And its for xbox one and x|s series. You may want to look into it more to check if I am correct but that's what I found out. And they recommend waiting for a sale. Hope this helps.

[true steeple]

It’s as safe as anywhere else

[young forum]

Lmao,I know,silly question

[uncut mirage]

Every enemy fort and ruin belongs to the vikings who saked it.
It's a great way to get resource or a start base.

[lilac coyote]

Still #mods-discussion

[jade olive]

Do Infested Mines repopulate or some times they do or the never do after cleared or dose it take a long time. I am getting some odd results?

[steep tusk]

They are like the BF tombs in that once you have gotten the cores, there really is no reason to return.

🤷‍♂️ so I have never checked respawns.

[compact heath]

The monsters respawn in there after a while, and the jelly too, definitely worth going for more Jelly if you have enough cores anyway already. You can also put campfires to stop the respawns if you want to use it as a jelly farm and don't need the extra seeker meat and carapace mandbles etc

[compact heath]

I disagree because Jelly is very useful, I never have enough, Royal Jelly is the reason to return

[jade olive]

OK I wasent sure have a few mine I getnothing but jelly never do they repopulae but on my joint game some of ours do and some don't. I found that kinda odd.

[compact heath]

the monsters should respawn unless you made campfires inside

takes a while though

[jade olive]

I haven't but one has a bench but that outside but all the other have nothing. So thay why I was scratching my head.

[compact heath]

respawn roughly every 4 hours or so allegedly

[jade olive]

Times on joint yes after some time but one mine never has. On my solo none have so fat and it's been a while.

Wonder if it's a type of mine. Like there diffrent types of frost caves?

[compact heath]

there is InfestedMine1 and InfestedMine2 but they should behave the same, maybe a workbench stops the spawn I m not sure if the spawn prevention of that is a cylinder or a sphere, dungeons are located above the entrance but very high up in the air

[jade olive]

The bench is a cylinder and it dose reach all the way up that I have confirmed. But that explains only one my other don't so thays weird.

[compact heath]

you playing solo or could someone else have placed something near the other ones

[jade olive]

On my solo but in my joint one some seam to fill back up and others don't. But I will check to see if there a fire pit but I don't recall ever doing that.

[jade olive]

WhileI got ya I have seen a lot of builds with big glass with out supports since glass is tricky. Do you think there using mods to do that?

[grim vessel]

Jelly apparently respawns from what I’ve heard

But apparently that’s also newer thing

[steep tusk]

Given how portals work... does it matter how close to spawn anything is?

[lilac coyote]

Huh?

[dusk chasm]

How does changing a number of the seed affect which part of theValheim big world map gets picked for the world? I'm trying to get a seed where this mountain spawns closer to spawn, but I'm wondering if theres a faster way than just spamming the random button in the valheim world map website and hoping it spawns where I want it.

Or is it just a bunch of complicated math and I should just keep pressing the random button.

[frosty frost]

Keep pressing random 🙂

But also keep in mind that spawn chnages the heightmap of the area around it

[dusk chasm]

mmmm another question, how far can you travel from a mountain before its out of render distance or kind of shrouded in the games fog

[frosty frost]

That should depend on your settings i think, but not sure.

[dusk chasm]

Well I'll check out the world in that second picture and if I can see that mountain from the meadow biome in the bottom left, then that just might be the most scenic spot for a base, with the perfect view of what I think is the tallest mountain in the game

[frosty frost]

The tallest one will never spawn close to spawn 🙂 it Is so north on the master map that every map that will have it will have in Deep North or really close to it. But the second tallest can certainly be close to spawn 😄

[dusk chasm]

Do you have a seed with the tallest one somewhere on the world?

or maybe just a screenshot of it somewhere on a map

oooooh is it this one by chance?

[frosty frost]

0faBn7ftfF - this one should have it and few other nice things 🙂 also all bosses may be found south, all three traders are kinda together in the west, "lake" with rivers in all directions in the middle of world

[frosty frost]

Might be, i don't remember the shape that well

[dusk chasm]

Hmm its hard to tell where it is on the big map of the world you sent me. Is it in the deep north on your world?

[tired root]

I have one seed with the tallest mountain location, but what I've gathered it will be just at the location where the ocean gap divides the other biomes from DN.

[dusk chasm]

oh crap i typed in the wrong one mb

Alright I checked your 0faBn7ftfF world and I found these 3, they all look really tall. Do you know which one is it?

[frosty frost]

I believe the second one, but not 100 sure, enable the 3rd coordinate on the map generator and you can see which one Is tallest 😄

[tired root]

Yeah, the tallest mountains will have over 400m height.

To add for Asatru's reply.

[dusk chasm]

So It's Definetly This One. I guess I got it right when I asked in that one picture XD

[frosty frost]

Seems like it 😄

[steep tusk]

Given how portals work... does it matter how close to spawn anything is?

[tired root]

Over 480? That's the tallest I've seen.

[frosty frost]

If they want to for scenery, yes

[steep tusk]

If they want spawn for scenery?

[dusk chasm]

I wonder if 480 is as tall as yggdralsil's lowest branches

[frosty frost]

Not even close 😄

[dusk chasm]

aww I swear when I was standing on that other really tall 454m mountain on a different world, It looked like I could touch Yggdrasil if the mountain was closer to spawn

[steep tusk]

@frosty frost

[dusk chasm]

Omg what if for the Deep North Update, instead of increasing the amount of ocean and leveling the mountains in the ashlands, they decrease the ocean and increase the height of mountains and make terrain more jagged in the deep north? Yoooo that 480 mountain would actually be insanely huge

[tired root]

What I've gathered from the Hervor Bloostooth videos the terrain seems relatively flat.

[dusk chasm]

Will mountains still exist in the deep north?

[tired root]

That I don't know.

Terrain changes are expected when the DN patch is here I think.

[compact heath]

No one knows that answer yet, we will see when it’s out

[dusk chasm]

Hmm if they remove mountains generating within the deep north then I better preload a world and journey to that 480m mountain before they change things

[tired root]

If it will not be your main world then go ahead and see how it will change, but if you want to continue your main world it's better letting the DN areas unexplored.

[ivory pecan]

anyone know this?

[tired root]

Vanilla or mods?

[ivory pecan]

Vanilla

[dusk chasm]

Also I figured out mountains become really hard to see and are really blended in with the sky at a distance of 750m no matter what render distance settings you have, idk but this might be some random useful fact if someone else asks the same question

[tired root]

Could be asked in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 or other Help channels, depending your platforms.

[ornate finch]

If you are all using Steam, tell the host to disable the crossplay option before starting.
You or host probably started using VPN so you can't connect.
Also, try connecting to the server by using favourite tab only. Interacting with other tabs (recent, friends) might result in your connection getting throttled for 20sec which won't allow you to connect during that time (known issues atm).

[ivory pecan]

Is it a recent issue? And unfortunately one of us is on a console so can’t turn off cross, and the host hasn’t changed anything either, but it’s done that for multiple people I’ve tried to join

[ornate finch]

If you can't disable crossplay, you will probably have to disable VPN adapter or check if your are behind CGNAT.

Check which network adapters are installed in start → device manager → network adapters

[ivory pecan]

but if its never been an issue before, why is it only the past 3 days

[ornate finch]

Nothing has changed in Valhiem either.

So something must have changed on your end.
If your friends that need crossplay can join, the problem is obviously on your side.

VPN adapters like this are not crossplay compatible

For some it's not even enough to disable them though their program, as they will keep running in background, so their background services have to be stopped.
E.g. NordVPN

[ivory pecan]

dont have the tap one, i do have log but its already disabled

[ornate finch]

These are not the only ones, rather just an example.
Post a screenshot of what you have. You can also send me a DM

[astral jetty]

Is the mine door behind any of these walls perchance? Or is there none and I'm just unlucky

[cedar lodge]

looks like you stumbled upon a regular Mistlands p.o.i. with no infested mine, the octagonal tower shaped ones look alike from the outside, entrance should be well visible down the stairwell

[astral jetty]

fuck 😦

[cedar lodge]

i usually look for the "coastal" ones, with huge external black marble stairs, those can't be mistaken, i found many checking coastline (by boat or on foot)

[astral jetty]

How safe is it? I'm always afraid of balloons

[compact heath]

Those are marked as "Fake Mine" on my map 😭

[cedar lodge]

looks like you're just out of plains, i used root harnesk for better survivability, gives pierce resistance (ticks, seekers) but lowers overall armor, also i wouldn't feel safe without a stack of barley wine on me (very needed in case of balloons)

[compact heath]

There is 2 distinct versions of this, one of them looks similar to fake mine, the other has a massive set of stairs going up it

[cedar lodge]

yup, balloons is the reason i mostly make that search on foot, they're ofc quite dangerous for boats 🔥

[astral jetty]

Just found one with a long stairs, haven't found any cores yet, but will explore thoroughly another day

[astral jetty]

Which one would be more likely? Planning my journey accordingly, if it's number 1 I can use my boat, if it's number 2 I have to walk around the cliffs at the coastline

[cedar lodge]

uh not sure about what could be "more likely" that would be quite random, what i did in some ML patches was rapid scouting of the coast by boat to spot them, but always moving to avoid getting stuck and "balloned", then i make a tiny portal outpost in the general area, securing boat materials in a chest or directly at base, then i go inspect the mines by foot, all big external stairways lead to actual mines tho, no "fake mine" risk

i remember it was quite a pain anyway in early stages because of slopes and peaks, when you'll get to craft feather cape things get quite more comfy, also ratatosk + lightfoot meads helps that (but beware of fall damage prior the cape ofc)

[tired root]

You are there at night? Such courage, since balloons ||can spawn with stars during night||.

[cedar lodge]

Night?? Didn't get that, no, Nono, night bad

[tired root]

It was the first thing I spotted from that screenshot.

[cedar lodge]

Uh I thought it was because was the underground floor of a dvergr tower

[inland girder]

I was wondering, is there seed breaker website that could show me where the pet rocks are found in my world?

[cedar lodge]

Uhm don't think so, there's one but doesn't show that kind of detail (eg doesn't show position of ore deposits) even if you provide game map files

[inland girder]

yea, well thx anyway

[manic bay]

Hello! I have a long-standing problem that I have never been able to find a complete solution to, unfortunately. I have a save game where me and my girlfriend used to play for a while now. She lives far away, so I simply start the game, open the save as a community server and she can access it with the code. So far so good, however after that for some reason my girlfriend keeps getting kicked off the server at smaller to larger intervals. She gets the server connection error icon in the top left and after a few seconds she gets kicked. Sometimes she plays it 2x 3x, but sometimes she plays it 10x in a row and we feel less and less like playing the game. I couldn't find any good solution on the internet, I don't want to subscribe to a separate server, so I thought I'd post it here, in case someone else has had similar problems and can help

Yes, we use mods, but we have the same problem with modded and vanilla saves. Thank you for reading!

[red whale]

why are my friend and I playing together and installing a couple of mods, I have them displayed but he doesn't, we have the same mods installed

It's not clear which one from the two of you has connection problems, so you have to do some testing and I described in that guide. You can DM me if you have any further questions. Best thing your can start with is you both a buffer bloat test:

BOAR NOT TAMING FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON

See screenshot - both these boars were put into the same pen at the same time, have experienced the same things their entire lives, one has tamed and the other is literally permanently aggro'd. The boar can't see anything, there are no lights or fires anywhere near this aggressive bastard, no enemies, PLUS THE OTHER BOAR TAMED SO THE CONDITIONS MUST BE RIGHT

WTF is up with this broken boar? It's a 2* GOD-BOAR so I want to give it a chance.
Since that screenshot was taken I have expanded the boar pen just in case room was an issue but no dice.

Also when I wake up/log in, come back to base from being far away the boar is already aggroed (I can hear it screaming from the moment I wake up)

[tired root]

Are you sure no fires nearby, like in that house next to it?

[scenic pelican]

Dude I'm leaving in permanent darknesss because of this bastard. I have tested walking up to the pen and I have no "Fire" notification

Also, the "control-boar" tamed just fine and lives in the same pen

[tired root]

The other boar in that pic is alarmed, surely there is nothing that would aggro the wild boar?

And what are you feeding to it?

[scenic pelican]

I've fed it everything in the wiki just to be sure - carrot, turnip, mushroom, blueberries

[tired root]

Since it has 2% tameness already it worked at some point, maybe try move it slightly further from your house?

And you have been in the same area the whole time? It won't tame if you are not in the same area.

It will eat the foods but the taming won't progress if you are far away.

[scenic pelican]

screenshot from inside the pig barn showing it doesn't have proximity to the "Fire"

[scenic pelican]

Thanks, I have been close but not ALL of the time. I mean I would honestly be less confused if it wasn't for the other boar that tamed literally in-game days ago

[torn horizon]

when is the discount on Steam?

[scenic pelican]

Thanks. I'm moving the pen away from my house to see if it works

[tired root]

Yeah, they don't attack their own kind, tamed or not.

[tired root]

While it is taming you could do other tasks nearby like cutting trees, farming or crafting while waiting. Or simply sit your character at your base and wait about 30 mins.

And make sure it has enough food so the taming won't disrupt. Stack of 10 of some food it eats is more than enough.

[scenic pelican]

Thanks @tired root I think the suggestion worked, it just needed to be further from my base. I think it was too close to Fire, ultimately 😦

[tired root]

Good that it worked. 👍

[frosty frost]

We dont know, but often when there are big steam sales valheim is also on sale 🙂

[tired root]

Summer Sale might be the next one.

[dusk chasm]

How do you get to your valheim world files?

[frosty frost]

You need to go to C:\Users\ "you" \AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim and there you should see worlds_local folder where you will find the .db and .fwl files. If you dont see the worlds_local folder that means you have it on cloud but you can move it to local in game 🙂 (the appdata folder is normaly invisible btw)

[steep tusk]

@polar isle do you mean the (13-15) that is next to the 15?

?

[polar isle]

Yes

[steep tusk]

15 doesn't mean 15 because (for some unknown reason) they went with variable base damage on weapons.
So the 13-15 is your "range of damage before enemy armor".

[late pecan]

Question for anyone that may know. If I’m trying to play my world on a new PC will the cloud save transfer it over just fine or do I need to move the world file over with a usb drive?

[true steeple]

Enemies don't have armor

[steep tusk]

They do have resistances.

[jade olive]

I wanted to kick in a few more ideas for ya too. If you know a few sorry for the repeats. So yeah move it away as you are. Build a full barn with walls all the way up. If the boar can see you he will argro use sneak. Stay with in 64 m. And if you found the Bog Witch she's got something cool to help with tameing.

[uncut mirage]

What stat on the pickaxe and axe detail its ability to mine or cut tree?

[steady cove]

my game just look like this and i tried all graphic options but can not fix it what can we do about that ?

[frosty frost]

Dissable all mods and try again 🙂

[steady cove]

I also tried vanilla but it did not work

also tried uninstall but that did not work too

😦

[frosty frost]

Their pickaxe and chop stats, they are not visible in game tho, you can look at https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki if you want to know exact values 🙂

[uncut mirage]

my dual lightening axe are almost one cut all trees but it would be cool to know the exact numbers

What about the two handed axes are they better at cutting trees because if not they should be 🙂

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Thundering_Berserkir_axes there you go 😄

[tired root]

They have no MTP so they cut better when you hit multiple trees per hit.

[frosty frost]

The no enchant version is technically better for chopping wood since they can be upgraded to lvl 3 🙂 but only by very small ammount

[uncut mirage]

its probably just me but it feels like I get a lot less resin went cutting trees late game than I did early game

[tired root]

Cut those smaller trees in meadows, they usually drop a lot more resin than bigger ones.

[uncut mirage]

I remember getting way more resin early. now I'm speeding through those small trees and not getting hardly anything

[tired root]

Rng, uh, works in mysterious ways.

[uncut mirage]

tell me about it

[tired root]

Smaller fir and plains trees also usually grant more resin.

[uncut mirage]

same with swamp, first time you visit a swamp the entire swamp moves with every enemy chasing you...now its like a ghost swamp, no enemies anywhere to be found

and dark forest
Plains is the only biome where everything spawns feels the same rate as when I got there

[dusk chasm]

How do I play Valheim with the better continents mod with vortex?

[tired root]

With a lot of audacity.

[glad wagon]

When I use the devcommand location devground1 how do I get it to stay on the server?

Or rather map

[lilac coyote]

Add SAVE after the location name when spawning it.

[glad wagon]

so "location devground1 save"

[lilac coyote]

Not sure if the caps are needed but yes.

[glad wagon]

The caps are needed

@lilac coyote thank you very much

[lilac coyote]

No problem at all.

[lament plaza]

hi everyone. I wish someone could help me understand the stagger mechanic. I mean, I fully understand it from a defensive point of view — I just block right before getting hit, and my enemy gets staggered. but I don’t understand is this: sometimes the enemy gets staggered after I hit them. And in those cases, I can't figure out the mechanic — why they stagger sometimes and not others. The only thing I could think of is that they get staggered when I hit them while they're charging an attack. Is that correct? :S

[steep tusk]

Stagger mechanic or Parry mechanic?

[lament plaza]

i mean. when the enemy go to back and i hit double. i dont mean using my shield. i mean using my weapon

[steep tusk]

Because the easiest way to understand what is going one when you're just hitting them, is to go to a lower biome and just stand there while an enemy hits you.

There will be a red bar that fills as you take damage, and when it is full you get staggered.

Same thing happens when you are smacking enemies.

If you do enough damage in a short enough window of time their stagger bar fills.

Parrying them (different mechanic) has the added bonus of also filling their stagger bar.

[lament plaza]

mmmmmm ok! if i hit several times to fill they bar. they gonna stagger, right?

excuse about my english :S

[steep tusk]

Yes.

Stagger Limit = Max Health * 0.4

Stagger meter falls at a rate of -20% per second.

Those are for the player character. I think enemies use the same maths, but I could be wrong.

[lament plaza]

ok, ok i understand now

thank you so much! ❤️

[steep tusk]

If they do use the same math: basically, if you can do 40% of their HP in a single strike it will stagger them.

Or if you're doing 8%+ of their max HP in dps they will become staggered.

[lament plaza]

i just find a page in wiki that explain exactly like you

thanks

[glad wagon]

@lilac coyote actually it only worked for one spot... am I doing something wrong?

[lunar cedar]

I believe you must put the quantity or the radius before the save text "find place 3 save" should save 3 locations of that place on your map I think

[jade olive]

When the game is paused for a while now I hear new birds and owls. Has ther been going on for a long time now? I kinda wish they were added to the ambient background in game.

[tired root]

I recall the stagger limit for enemy mobs being 30% of their max HP. The amount of stagger normally is roughly the same as weapons total physical/lightning damage, but there are few special cases that have higher stagger multiplier, them being the secondary attack of atgeirs and fists (6x), primary (1,5x) and secondary (4x) attacks of battleaxes and primary attacks of 2h sledges and secondary attacks of 1h clubs (2x).

[true steeple]

It’s different depending on the enemy. Some have 50%.

[tired root]

Yeah, 30% at minimum then.

[alpine tapir]

yeah the ratios vary but the simplified version is if big chunks are coming out of the healthbar of something chances are it is close to or currently being staggered. that means no blocking, and bonus damage 🙂

[true steeple]

Enemies can’t block anyway

[alpine tapir]

or attacking.

[mellow maple]

Staggered enemies take more damage

As well as giving the player a breather

But I found most land enemies can be "dodged" just by walking xD

[last osprey]

The amount of attacks you can avoid just by walking sideways or backwards is kind of ridiculous

[balmy anchor]

igh so i got this patch of cultivated land and whenever i put down my carrots, after a while it will delete half of them, from the same spot. i tested the others spots, and i dont know what is causing it, not near shore, has no roof, nor covered

[jade olive]

Any shadow from a tree? After planted have you waited for a bit and checked each one to see if healthy?

[balmy anchor]

no trees nearby, and yeah nearby plants are healthy

[jade olive]

Humm I have a shadow from a tree and a few spots I put posts becouse in just a few spots there not healthy.

[balmy anchor]

i'm going to double check just in case

[jade olive]

I'll guess you'll have to mark that a bad spot and rope it off. Only other idea is if there a rock under that spot you may need to dig it out or build up the land. I was replacing some trees once and for some reason it wouldn't let me plant in the exact same spot. I raised the land and then I could plant.

Give the plants a few min to see if they say something. It take a little bit.

[balmy anchor]

apartenly there was a tree on mountain casting a shadow from really far away

carrots are good for the moment

thanks for the help man

[jade olive]

Ahh cool yeah shadows they are tricky you can plant in some spots but other hit just right.

[subtle parrot]

Never had an issue with the shadows specifically. But if a branch is hanging directly over the spot that'll cause problems. Even for bee hives, had set up in a little clearing between 3 trees and 1 branch that would sway over a bee hive would cause it to have problems occasionally. Rocks under the ground as well, will be a problem for plants, so always check for those before cultivating.

[upbeat hill]

why is it that even after receiving the admin, debugmode is not working on my friend's server?

[jolly spire]

hello all I'm a solo player and I'm so frustrated I can't beat the plains boss on my own... is any nice sperson out there willing to help me out?

yes, do you care if I use a mage or plains gear only?

[jolly spire]

I just wish to get past the boss and grab the things neede dto get past the boss....so use whatever will help me out best

[misty sage]

Is there any way to remove the Ward effect in any of the dungeons (with or without devcommands)? Taking a Sealed Tower as a new base sounded really fun until I realized building inside it was impossible.

[buoyant peak]

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

[misty sage]

So only with that devcommand?

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Global Keys the dungeon build key could maybe help 😄

[misty sage]

Ok thanks

[jade olive]

Could build around the top and use it as a center Pilar.

[frail cave]

anybody know a way to rename your world that still works?

[grim vessel]

without spoilers, is there anything ud recommend i do before i go to mistlands? (I have the light) and maxed padded armour and weapons

[subtle parrot]

Make back up armor and weapons, make sure you have plenty of food and wine, and prepare yourself

[last osprey]

craft a stack or two of ooze bombs and bring frost arrows and frostner

[sterile jay]

Shield is a must I recommend a regular black metal shield, not tower shield. Make backup portals for your portals

Mist1 Mist2
Etc

[proper fern]

Hi All! What is the most efficient way to farm great quantities of iron in the end game? Normally I go to the sunken crypts but it's pretty boring at this point.

[viral cave]

It's still crypts lol

[uncut mirage]

black metal shield is the best looking. Flametal shield is too big its like a boat

[proper fern]

I thought so lol thanks anyway!

[last osprey]

Dismantling the ruined dvergr bridges in Mistlands yields a decent amount of iron (and black marble too). They're held up with iron cage walls inside. It's even already smelted.
Just bring the mats for stonecutter & forge, remove the bottom and the rest will fall down, ready to be picked up (might need to build a floor if it's over water to catch everything).
2-3 stacks of iron per bridge are about the average with roughly twice that much marble.

[proper fern]

Thanks! Definitely gonna try that!

[last venture]

im having problems creating new server, people cant join, is that my problem? we are 4 persons trying to create and is not working

[viscid fox]

i am having a problem connecting to people decicated servers , the problem is like i can join some server but others i can't despite if it's near my region or not , when i connect to the server it go to the (connecting) screen for couple of seconds then it brings me to the main menu with a massage (failed to connect) but if i used a vpn it let me log into the server / let me go to the password screen , this is with or without any mods i looked for this problem alot and couldn't find any solutoins to it (one thing i noticed most of the server i try to join have crossplay on(and server owners cant turn it off for some reason {even to just test} ) and i saw someone talk about this might be an issue somehow but not sure

whenever i find amazing people to play with finally i always get this problem and really kills the game for me T_T

[trim badge]

hey , can i give debugmode on my server to my friend ?

[frosty frost]

No unfortunately

[trim badge]

okey, thx

[sleek storm]

Anyone running an older version of the game (circa 1 year old) and willing to check something for me? It's pretty simple.
It's not necessary to start the game even.

[lilac coyote]

I can't imagine many are.

[frosty frost]

What do you need to know?

[sleek storm]

I noticed they've changed some of the DWORDs in Windows registry pretty recently, and it has undone some control settings I had

Could you check for me how the old one looks?

[frosty frost]

Ah, thats a bit too technical for me i am afraid xD dont even know what it is

[sleek storm]

It's a bit technical but not too difficult.

Ah okay, no problem.

[lilac coyote]

Oh, you're the one posting about keybindings on Reddit. I thought you might be.

But no, we've never been able to rebind the hotbar though it's been requested a fair bit.

[frosty frost]

Yeah the ability to rebind stuff would be great, tho i personally would most likely never use it 😄

[sleek storm]

Yeah that's me

You could do it there in the past but not anymore sadly. I suppose it was never intended.

[lilac coyote]

It's never been possible as was stated on Reddit.

[sleek storm]

I'm sorry but you are wrong here. I did it about a year ago and wrote a guide for it.

The 1-9 keys were separate entries in the registry and you could edit them to whatever you wanted.

[lilac coyote]

Ok. You've not been able to do it without hacking the registry which you shouldn't be doing. Better?

[sleek storm]

lol why shouldn't one edit the registry?

It's hardly different from editing a config file in any other game.

[manic gyro]

Could you not just look for a mod that does what you want? Directly editing game config files/registry entries is already modding territory anyway.

[sleek storm]

I could but there are no compatibility problems possible with modifying the registry.

It's more or less just where Liongate decided to store the player's controls.

It's also a nice method because for people who are not very technical because they can just change their controls with a script and not have to install anything, not even AutoHotKeys or similar software.

[manic gyro]

It's a very bad idea for people who are "not very technical" to mess with the registry, especially when it involves executing a script they found somewhere.

[lilac coyote]

Until they change it again...

[sleek storm]

I don't see what can go wrong with a one-line .bat file.

[lilac coyote]

That in itself is terrifying.

[sleek storm]

Why? It's safer than installing a mod.

[manic gyro]

Then you really shouldn't mess with the registry

[sleek storm]

You can check what the .bat file does with notepad. You don't even need to be administrator to run something like that.

The registry is literally there to be modified.

It's the core Windows stuff mainly you shouldn't be editing if you don't know what you're doing. I don't suggest people make random edits either way.

[viral cave]

As long as you aren't copying and pasting a script that you don't understand, it should be pretty safe

[manic gyro]

I mean.. Lot's of dangerous things are pretty safe for people who know what they are doing and can correctly assess the risks involved. But I'm doubtful that applies to not-very-technical people and modifying the registry

[sleek storm]

A script like that would be just one line and the text in it is very self-explanatory and non-technical. But yes you shouldn't run scripts you don't understand and from people you don't know. You're right about that.

[viral cave]

Yeah, see, in that case, it's pretty understandable and doesn't pose a threat

[rustic elbow]

currently in vanilla, do the mini bosses respawn in each cave/tower? Or is it 3 kills only? (not counting raids). In other words, can you claim more than 3 chests per mini boss?

[frosty frost]

3 kills only

[rustic elbow]

thanks

[ripe sage]

Hello,
My name is Maksym. In one of my worlds, it was Day 87. I was mining copper in the Black Forest. The only workbench nearby was located about 400 meters away.

Suddenly, a raid of ghosts began. It took me around 15 minutes to fight them off. Just 20 seconds later, a new raid started — this time with frost drakes.

According to the Valheim Wiki, this shouldn't be happening. One of the conditions for raids is that there must be at least three structures like a workbench, campfire, or other "base" elements nearby. Also, it is stated that there should be at least 46 minutes between raids, with only a 20% chance of another raid occurring.

Could you please clarify whether this is a bug or intended behavior?

[frosty frost]

Are you using any mods?

[rocky venture]

Hello there,
I'm hoping I'm going about this the right way, I couldn't find anything regarding this.
I was wondering if there's a way I could get sheet music for the Meadows theme or if I would need to transcribe it myself.
I recently got into playing the game and I'm really loving the clarinet lines I've heard so far, especially the theme for the Meadows.

[frosty frost]

As far as i am aware there are not official music sheets for it availible anywhere 🤔 but i also never really tried to find them nor did i ever heard someone asking about them

[ripe sage]

No

[rocky venture]

Okay, thank you! I'll likely want to try transcribing it then when I go to practice.

[frosty frost]

Did you ever used them? Also are you playing alone?

[ripe sage]

No, I've never used it. I play multiplayer. I'm not host.

[frosty frost]

Do you know the host well? And if any other players use mods?

[ripe sage]

Yes, this is my friend. We play 3. None of us use mods.

[lilac coyote]

What difficulty are you on?

[frosty frost]

Shouldnt affect frequency of the raids no?

[ripe sage]

We didn't change it. Most likely the most common one. Definitely NOT hardcore.

[frosty frost]

And are you sure he didnt mess with devcommands?

[rain parcel]

how to unbind console command?

[ripe sage]

Yes, I'm 99% sure

[frosty frost]

Same way you binded it, just use unbind instead of bind

[frosty frost]

Then i sadly have no idea... Were there any other structures around you? Other than workbenches since you said there were not any

[ripe sage]

4 torches and 1 dungeon

[frosty frost]

Shouldnt affect raids... I am lost

[ripe sage]

Maybe I should contact support somewhere?

[frosty frost]

Eeeeh, one of the best places for support is here actually

[lilac coyote]

Torches definitely count.

[frosty frost]

Ooooooh, wait, yeah, forgot they are base structures

sorry didnt get much sleep last night

[ripe sage]

Cool game

[rain parcel]

Thex it worked

[lilac coyote]

Yup.

[frosty frost]

Were you there alone?

[ripe sage]

Yes

[lilac coyote]

You had the proper raid message and red circle, right?

[ripe sage]

The chance of two raids in a row was 4%

[ripe sage]

Yes, right 2 times

[frosty frost]

Yeah but at least we established that raids were possible, so we are down to 1 issue, that is why there were 2 raids less than 46 minutes apart

[lilac coyote]

There weren't. They were at minimum 15 minutes apart.

[frosty frost]

Which is less than 46

[lilac coyote]

If it was only 15, yes.

[lilac coyote]

And you were in the red the whole time?

[ripe sage]

No, there was a gap of 2-3 minutes

[lilac coyote]

Hm. That's still not 46. Weird.

[ripe sage]

Okay, think about it at your leisure. Thank you.

[lilac coyote]

No need for snark.

[frosty frost]

I dont think there was any intended 🤔

[ripe sage]

Good night

[lilac coyote]

Hm, hard to tell.

Still, that's a weird one.

Without knowing all the game/server settings it's hard to say bug for certain.

[frosty frost]

I do read it more like "Think about it at your convenience, you dont need to if you dont want to" 🤷‍♂️

[frosty frost]

Yep

[lilac coyote]

That would be less vague for sure.

[ripe sage]

I can send you a recording from Steam tomorrow if you are interested.

[frosty frost]

Sure if you want to 🙂

[glacial jungle]

Try MuseScore; you might find it there.

In fact - here, I found it for you. 🙂 https://musescore.com/user/27108049/scores/6750767

[rocky venture]

much appreciated. I was gonna say, just typing in "Valheim" came up empty for me. From a short look on a piano using the violin's starting motif it sounded like it was in an a natural minor key so I'm curious what this person did (haven't clicked the link yet)

[glacial jungle]

They transcribed it by ear - F major and D minor.

[rocky venture]

yeh! I was kinda close. idk why but my ears have always made things a 3rd up from the actual key and that might just because of having played a transposing instrument for so long. thank you!

[glacial jungle]

You're welcome. 🙂 I have a subscription to MuseScore because I use the app for composing - I'm a professional musician myself.

[desert monolith]

I dont know if this is true - they can have armor sometimes - the question is does the armor factor into the damage calculation?

I'm trying to test it at the moment...

[compact heath]

love your work haha

[jade olive]

Can Geirrhaga destroy a forest with his ice pound effect? Or is that effect not damaging to the enviroment.

[hallow reef]

Im trying to load into a server with my boyfriend. It wont let me join him even though I have all the correct mods for the server for me to join.

Is there any way for this to be fixed?

[true steeple]

If the problem is mods, asking in #mods-issues will probably get better answers

[inland girder]

enemies dont have armor

[desert monolith]

They can have armor. The question is does the armor affect anything, or is it just ignored and therefore only visual, not mechanical based.

[inland girder]

which enemies have armor?

[true steeple]

Charred warriors are the first I can think of

[desert monolith]

Charred (warriors and mages) can spawn with random chance for Chared Helmets. Helmets have 60 armor.

[inland girder]

oh

[desert monolith]

I think Goblin Bersekers are same too?

But if that 60 armor is used in any calculation or not, or if it is only visual, I don’t know.

[true steeple]

I’d guess it is, I never realised these actually had an armor value applied to them. I won’t be able to test it myself for a while.

Just try punching them and see if it does any damage

[desert monolith]

It does, which makes me think armor is ignored. But it was only a brief test. Needs more testing to be sure.

[ebon copper]

Can someone help me with the Knochenwans boss? Unfortunately, I can't do it alone.

[steep tusk]

The huh?

[frosty frost]

Bonemass 🙂

[ripe sage]

Good morning everyone. I couldn't download the video from Steam because it's too long - 120 minutes. But I watched the recording and wrote down the time codes:

Raid 1 start: 43:44
Raid 1 end: 85:25
Raid 2 start: 89:40
Transition to a new real day: 105+-
Raid 2 end: 107:22

I also had a theory that some kind of bug occurred due to the transition from May 7 to May 8 at 00:00. But no

[frosty frost]

So you were just really lucky/unlucky 😄 they are pretty much exactly 46 minutes appart

[ripe sage]

That's probably true, the chances are about 4%

Thanks for trying to help

[steep tusk]

🤔

[inland girder]

Full iron armor except root helmet or poison potion

Iron mace lvl4 serpent meat and stew with your best stamina food and just spam attack

Stamina and health potions can be useful

Spawn him with 10 withered bones

Speedrun strategy is to build on top of the skull where bonemass cant hit you so you can kill him while only suffering the poison damage

[steep tusk]

Iron Armor? Interesting choice.

[frosty frost]

About as interesting as using root 😄

[steep tusk]

@ebon copper if you have a question there is no reason you cannot ask it here.

[ebon copper]

Oh, I wrote to you. A friend of mine wanted to write. I have no question, sorry.

[steep tusk]

That makes no sense.

[inland girder]

What would your choice be?

[steep tusk]

Armor doesn't matter in a zero-damage fight.

[inland girder]

Yeah but you have made iron armor for yourself anyways so why not use it and i wasnt talking about the speedrun strategy but normal stand next to bonemass and spam lmb

[lilac coyote]

So was he I imagine.

[steep tusk]

Yeah but you have made iron armor for yourself

No? Lol.

Also the "speedrun" strat? - He dies faster when you're standing next to him spamming lmb

[inland girder]

why dont you make iron armor lol

at that point just kill fader with your fists and quit the game

[steep tusk]

Because Troll is more than enough to get you to mountain and I have better things to spend iron on.
And you can fight Bonemass naked and still take no damage.

[inland girder]

what are you rushing mountain for

[steep tusk]

Who said anything about rushing?

[inland girder]

you will never run out of iron trust me

[steep tusk]

Do you even play Valheim?
Iron is the one thing you always need more of.

[grim vessel]

I’ve used 360 pieces so far

[inland girder]

yeah but you will never run out of it

[grim vessel]

And still need some.

[inland girder]

you can always get more of it from a new crypt

[grim vessel]

Yea except my base is half the map away from the nearest swamp with a new crypt.

So it takes a lot of time, as stated

[inland girder]

it kinda sounds like rushing if you are only making an iron pickaxe and move on

[steep tusk]

Yes... because "I have better things to spend iron on" == ONLY IRON PICKAXE AND NOTHING ELSE

[inland girder]

thats stupid

[steep tusk]

You said it 🙃

[fringe phoenix]

Hey guys! I started a playthrough with my friend a week or so ago. Now we have beaten the 2nd boss, the root lady and we are just lost. We dont know what to do, we made a ship and started sailing to a random direction but got attacked at sea and lost everything. We could really appreciate if you could give us some guidelines or steps to follow, instead of just random exploration, as we have basically seen everything on the island we arrived at (minus the mountains which are too cold right now, dont know how to fix that).

[compact heath]

The mountain is 4th biome, you get something to help with cold in the 3rd biome looks like you have not found that yet, have you got finewood bow? this can defeat the sea monster, you need to make another boat to get your stuff back, and find the 3rd biome you can find it by seeing dead looking trees

[inland girder]

you want to find a swamp it can be found from the starter island but usually generates a bit further away your loot isnt gone its floating in the sea on the spot where you died

[compact heath]

And yes your current gear will float near where you got defeated, it will not despawn and should be marked on map

[inland girder]

dont travel by night or during thunderstorms on the ocean biome or the serpent will most likely spawn

serpents only spawn when you are in the ocean biome

[true steeple]

Serpents are balanced for black forest equipment so they won’t be a problem

[inland girder]

your karve will die very quickly they are a problem with blackforest gear unless you are very careful with them

[lilac coyote]

Why will it die quickly?

You make some weird claims about this game for sure.

[inland girder]

the serpent duh

[lilac coyote]

Don't 'duh' me. And no, it shouldn't. Are you just sitting there letting it eat the boat?

[inland girder]

you cant tell me what to do and as far as i know the serpent is faster than karve so you really cant do anything but try to kill it before it kills your boat

[lilac coyote]

Incorrect.

But I get the impression facts aren't important to you.

[inland girder]

facts are everything to me

karve is slower than the serpent

unless you got some streoid ahh finewood that you are using on your karve

[tame plank]

From every experience I’ve had this is true

[inland girder]

fr bro some people are just ready to argue on anything smh

[tame plank]

Fr I don’t know why

[lilac coyote]

If you have a tailwind you'll be fine.

[inland girder]

Incorrect.

[lilac coyote]

Says the guy who claims people will never run out of iron despite it being the thing most players run out of.

[inland girder]

But I get the impression facts aren't important to you.

i guess you didnt read the chat at all

[tame plank]

This is heated

[inland girder]

if he is ready to spend his iron to something else he is also ready to mine it later in which case he will never run out of it because there are hundreds of crypts all over the map

yeah i guess, ill drop it

[bleak marsh]

That's not a wierd claim, when I started playing, and maybe even now, the karve is still at risk for me when there's a serpent unless I have a good bow/arrows.

When you know what to do, its a different ballpark, but otherwise, it's still a bit of a vulnerable vessel.

[lilac coyote]

Vulnerable, yes, wouldn't deny that.

But I love that we're starting this again when both parties have moved on.

[bleak marsh]

That's all I'm saying, yeah. I'm thinking about the person who asked for help, since they're new, I just wanted them not to think they were doing something wrong, it's normal to have a serpent break the karve is all.

I don't mean this in a mean way, but I don't care about you and the other person's argument, just to help the original player. There is no "parties" to me. I'm on everyone's side.

🙂 👍

No one is starting anything, I'm chill, just discussing and chatting.

[lilac coyote]

I'm not sure you understood me. The conversation was long over. You started it again for...reasons.

[bleak marsh]

Just felt like clarifying for the original player is all. 🙂

[bleak marsh]

We agree anyways, so whatevs

[lilac coyote]

Then I'd assume you'd ping them as there's no way they'd see your response otherwise especially as you replied to me.

[bleak marsh]

Well I was thinking that they read the chat over this subject but yeah they might be gone idk. 🤷‍♂️

[magic bluff]

Does your island have swamps? If so, just grab the crypt key to get iron. Valheim is basically that: find the next biome, upgrade technology, kill the boss, and repeat.

[meager token]

Advice on how to kill the Hares in the Mistlands?

[magic bluff]

In my current game, with the favorable wind, it was possible to escape the serpent with the Karve.

[magic bluff]

Stealth and bow, magic, stakes...

[meager token]

Ooo okay.. those are all good ideas. Thank you!

[frosty frost]

If you are actively going through mistlands looking for them the staff of embers works best 🙂

[meager token]

Thanks, Asatru! I unfortunately don't have the staffs yet because I haven't found any infested mines to get the black cores that I need to make the table for crafting the staffs

So I may have to rely on stealth, bows and stakes for awhile lol

[frosty frost]

Just keep looking and eventually RNGeezus will reward you 😄

[meager token]

😄 thanks @frosty frost ! I hope I find some soon but honestly I just got to the Mistlands so I'm sure I just need to be patient

[topaz igloo]

Let the skeeters do it for you

[last osprey]

use walls or fences to close up paths in areas where hares spawn, leave a gap then surround those gaps with spikes. Near a base or outpost obviously (a mistland farm is ideal).
The hares (and other mobs) will try to pathfind around the walls if there's a way to do so, run into the spikes and die.

[meager token]

Thank you!

[meager token]

The deathsquitos or do you mean the seekers?

[topaz igloo]

Deathsquitos

Pretty effective

[meager token]

how am I supposed to get deathsquitos into the mistlands?

[topaz igloo]

Find a plains on the edge of a mistlands and lure the skeeters in or chase the hares out

The staff of embers is the best way to go once you get it but the skeeters work decent until you get it

[meager token]

I think I'll have better luck luring the skeeters in lol those rabbits never go where I want them to

[meager token]

Gotcha!

[inland girder]

Can someone tell me why can i see my crossbow skill in the skills list even though i just got to plains

[frosty frost]

New char?

[silver sigil]

anyone know why my game could be crashing?
I downloaded a few mods with r2modman, started a new save with a new character, later switched back to vanilla and to a previous save file with the old character both of which i had never used with mods, the game (im also hosting a server) started crashing, I tried reinstalling the game but it still crashes...

[tired root]

Mods tend to break the game. Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 for better solutions for your problem.
^This happens when you hastily see a word "mod" and give other channel for solution.

Oh, it seems you deleted the mods? Did you clean up your game files? @silver sigil

[frosty frost]

You may want to look at this, in case there are some leftovers 😄 #valheim-help message

[tired root]

You could try also deleting other folders from the game files and leave these only: https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[silver sigil]

well I did reinstall the whole game

[frosty frost]

And how did you uninstal it?

[true steeple]

To clear mod files you need to manually delete everything in the installation folder. Steam only uninstalls vanilla files.

[silver sigil]

I used steam to uninstall, will try to clear the folder

[rocky shale]

hey guys, when it says "too hard" does it means it is unbreakable ?

[tired root]

It usually means you cannot break it with the current tool. But those spikes can be broken with weapons, Demolisher does a good job in it.

[rocky shale]

alr thank you

[silver sigil]

did that, still crashes, also turned off crossplay

I'm now trying to rollback amd drivers as those updated today as well

[silver sigil]

well, Im getting my hopes up, hasnt crashed in half an hour whereas before it crashed like 10+ times within 10 minutes

[frosty frost]

So looks like drivers were faulty? 🙂

[silver sigil]

todays amd drivers seem to have caused it in the end

[true steeple]

The function that determines the final armor value always returns 0 unless called on a player

[inner bane]

anyone got any nice designs for a gravestone?
other than myself just putting maybe two planks together as a cross :3
(was also trying to maybe find a mod to make a gravestone but no luck)

[lilac coyote]

You get a free one every time you die.

[inner bane]

not died yet aha, but i know you drop one on death
I wanted to make ones for my names wolves who perished in battle like hero's

[ripe sage]

Hello everyone. Can you tell me if a copper vein can fly in the air? It is not recorded anywhere.

[inner bane]

you can mine all around it yes, but as soon as you break one piece afterwards* the whole thing will break

[ripe sage]

For some reason it doesn't work. I can record a video of me breaking another piece and it holds.

[inner bane]

alot of my friends enjoy mining around the whole thing then one tapping it haha
yours may not have worked because it's no longer one chunk, it's split

[frosty frost]

The copper pieces have quite large invisible hitboxes that check for support, they are most likely touching a piese of ground or tree somewhere 🙂

[ripe sage]

Sorry, I didn't quite understand, the top part is solid

[jade olive]

You got to many things close by giving it support you need at least my guess 4m all around and then it will explode. So that ladfer,the sides need to be farther out and nothing touching the bottom. The bottom is all ways an issues becouse you can't go down far enough so you got to do the breaking yourself.

[inner bane]

it could be the top and bottom are still technically attached and the bottom part still is in the floor

I guess i'd recommend just clearing out more space and try again

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Copper_deposit look at the bottom of this wiki page 🙂 the hitboxes are visualised there

[cold crater]

Where is that ive never seens those spikes
