[noble ingot]

Best way to dodge roll seems very oofed having to block and jump instead of just being able to dodge

[true steeple]

You don't need to press them both at the same time. You just need to press jump while already holding block.
In most cases jumping is better than rolling and that's only one button anyway.

[still pine]

Whats the very first mead i should make besides posion resist

[steep tusk]

All matters of "should" are your personal choice and there is no wrong answer.

[still pine]

Aye thanks

Queens jam isnt worth it correct?

or is that also subjective being food stuff, besides quality food for fighting and such

[steep tusk]

Compared to...?

[still pine]

Well i only have boar jerky and queens jam and anything else is the basic materials like honey, red mushrooms, raspberries and blue berries and getting to carrots next

[steep tusk]

Queen's is better than a lot of things.

[still pine]

Oooo okay

Thanks i didnt realize you could sort that doc that way

[steep tusk]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b_obmQ_F5u5p-2K0NvFNzL2aHWLauisve63lvOsoD54/edit?gid=1207717931#gid=1207717931

You don't have to do any sorting, I made that tab pre-sorted.

Sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat if you lose it.

[still pine]

I got it handy lol

[versed yoke]

Run up and stab it

[viscid junco]

Is there a better or more efficient way to mine copper? I know there's copper beneath the ground, but man is mining copper so much slower than tin. And you need more too for bronze

My only idea is maybe use a troll but that's too risky for me right now

[tired root]

Mine on top of the node, it damages the chunks more than from bottom.

[fringe mirage]

Is building nice fences (pens) difficult? I'm having a hard time with it

[fringe mirage]

Just meaning they don't seem to snap.

[tired root]

Stakewalls? They have 4 snap points.

[fringe mirage]

roundpole fence. Don't seem to be snapping for me

[true steeple]

They don't have snap points. But enemies can sometimes see through them so they aren't great for containing animals and crops.

[fringe mirage]

So just use real walls for now

[sullen egret]

if you pickaxe all the ground around and in the node of cooper you can sometimes pop it in groups like silver

[alpine tapir]

what's this "community server" button do?

get a drake to aggro them

build a good solid base defense. if you got to swamps, you can raise up terrain and dig moats/trenches, that will help a lot for raids.

[alpine tapir]

I like tasty mead as the cooldown is shorter, and the run fast one.

[steep tusk]

Tasty Mead is the best mead in the game.

[alpine tapir]

the only thing I don't like about it is if you accidentally use stamina while the effect is going it pauses it but you still waste effect timer.

[steep tusk]

You have a 10s window.
If you have to dodgeroll once during that time you're still going to regen an insane amount even with the brief pause.

It also stacks with Lingering.

[alpine tapir]

yeah having only one small complaint like that is still pretty good.

[steep tusk]

The complaint is technically just "mentioning the balance point" as if there was no drawback it would be broken AF.

[alpine tapir]

does damaging enemies with a pickaxe increase the pickaxe skill?

[lilac coyote]

Y'know that's not something I know. I think yes?

[alpine tapir]

I sometimes accidentally "mine" greylings and stuff but once I get good enough gear to start toying with stone golems instead of seriously fighting them, I kinda wanna try mining their legs off and I wanna know if it'll actually help my pickaxe skill any.

[sleek storm]

Anyone know why these pigs are not eating?

[alpine tapir]

ho.....how did you get them up that high???

[sleek storm]

I pushed them up that ramp (now broken)

the one at the top of the screenshot

[sullen egret]

theyre not turned the right way

but also only put a half wall towards the put of the box so the food shows underneath.

everytime i made a spawner. they wouldnt eat through the walls. the bottom half of the wall had to be showing so they can see the food

[sleek storm]

I'll try that. Thank you.

Any idea how to get the pigs turned the right way?

They all of a sudden decided to all turn perpendicularly to how I want them lol

[steep tusk]

Horror farms... let them be free 😭

[sleek storm]

No way, I'm gonna make sausages

[steep tusk]

Smiffe plz... recode boar so they only breed when touching dirt 😭

[lilac coyote]

I've never understood the need for boar farms.

[steep tusk]

Boar farms a fine, boar abuse boxes are criminal 😦

[sleek storm]

Saves time since you don't have to hunt

@steep tusk I'd treat them a whole lot better if they cooperated

[lilac coyote]

You don't have to hunt at all. They're all over the place.

Or you could just put them in a pen.

[steep tusk]

They cooperate when they aren't in a tiny box.

[sleek storm]

They stop breeding if you put them in a pen

[lilac coyote]

No they don't.

[sleek storm]

There's a cap

[lilac coyote]

Only if the pen is too small.

[sleek storm]

You'd need to surround a whole field with walls if you want good amounts then and not have them die to raids.

[lilac coyote]

Again, only if you really want to.

[sleek storm]

I'm in need of lots of meat so 2-stars are a good way to save time

[steep tusk]

Define "lots"?

[sleek storm]

Immoral amounts

[steep tusk]

So not a need, a choice.

[sleek storm]

Yes.

[steep tusk]

So this is false.

[sleek storm]

How so?

[steep tusk]

☝️

[sleek storm]

Can you elaborate?

[steep tusk]

"I'm in need"

Not a need, a choice.

Yes.

Ergo, first statement is false as it is confirmed by you to not be a need.

[sleek storm]

It's a tactical choice because I'm playing hardcore and want the best possible food at all times.

[steep tusk]

Which takes like... 10.
Not "immoral amounts".

[sleek storm]

10 what?

[steep tusk]

Of anything at any given time.

[sleek storm]

10 sausages?

[steep tusk]

10 meat makes 40 Sausages.

[sleek storm]

That's true, but I have future needs too.

I also go through 20 pretty quick considering it's mapless.

[steep tusk]

And you'll have newly grown boars in the future to meet those needs too.

(Without the boxes)

[sleek storm]

No I mean for breeding wolves.

I've had a tower like this before and I had more meat than I needed with very little labor. It's just better than hunting.

[lilac coyote]

You know what's also little labour? Putting up a simple fence around a couple of boar and breeding them that way.

[sturdy folio]

There's no wrong way to play Valheim

Let Pjup farm boars their way D:

[lilac coyote]

I wasn't stopping them. They were the one claiming it was the only way to do it.

[sturdy folio]

oh?

through their experience it seems that the sky breeding pen method was the only which "somewhat" works.

Youtube has some great tutorials on it - I've made the sky boar farm before following a youtube guide and it's worked a few times now. With Wolves as well

[sleek storm]

I've had it work before too, and surprised it doesn't now.

[sleek storm]

Never claimed this.

[steep tusk]

The boars are not happy 😭😭😭

[sterile jay]

||They have a tell much like the Abomination when they are in the ground, Look for the silver spiky rocks || sorry bout the really late explanation

i dont have the patience to make a boar farm are they really that easy to make?

[devout jacinth]

Hi. About Farming Skill. Do you get the same amount of exp when

1. using a scythe to harvest multiple crop at once
2. picking them up individually?

[steep tusk]

Exp is not diminished by using the scythe.

[quiet veldt]

Does anyone know if it's worth it to get iron armor? I'm playing with my friend and we are exploring the sunken crypts and keep getting cooked by draugrs

[steep tusk]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[steep tusk]

What's your food?

[quiet veldt]

Deer, boar, and honey

[steep tusk]

Problem located.

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[quiet veldt]

What do you recommend then?

[steep tusk]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b_obmQ_F5u5p-2K0NvFNzL2aHWLauisve63lvOsoD54/edit?gid=2047891512#gid=2047891512

[quiet veldt]

Oo thx

[steep tusk]

Configuration Tabs - Black Forest - HHS

Sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat if you need it.

Same Tab - Swamp is what you will be upgrading to as you acquire the necessary materials.

HHS recommended until you fully grasp combat, then dealer's choice between HHS vs. HSS.

SSS is for fishing.
HHH should never be used.

[formal anchor]

Is the chance for serpents rerolled everytime you enter that chunk?

[quiet veldt]

Alright, thank you for the tip!

[viral cave]

You're an entire biome behind. Have you built a cauldron?

[steep tusk]

Any time.

[quiet veldt]

I figured, I'm going to make one

[viral cave]

Have you found carrot seeds either?

[quiet veldt]

Nope, we completely ignored a lot of stuff apparently

[viral cave]

Find those white flower patches in black forest and pick them up. Each one drops 3 carrot seeds. The tool needed for growing them should unlock with bronze and core wood.

[quiet veldt]

Ok, thanks!

[alpine tapir]

...?

[sterile jay]

iron is so plentiful its 100% worth it

[viral cave]

Huge iron grind for iron armor vs. 6 less armor points per piece for root

Root also resists pierce and poison and gives archery bonuses

[spare bramble]

Agreed. Iron is the biggest single resource grind in the game. Go root and save yourself the headache

[viral cave]

Personal choice, ultimately. But root is more than enough to be viable and is still usable (at least in parts) even 2-3 biomes later.

[spare bramble]

Considering how easy it is to get silver relative to how little is really needed, I’d rather go root into wolf armor if you really want to go heavy armor

[steep tusk]

Rag -> Troll/Bronze -> Wolf

[viral cave]

Real chads do buck naked → buck naked → buck naked

[fringe mirage]

When searching for tin is there any reason to dig around the tiny little nodes found along the water?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[candid palm]

What is the best way to kill a 2 star morgan? Seems to slap me before I can knockback and hard to parry

[steep tusk]

Roll, don't parry.

[still pine]

Whats the gear needed for a super sneaky stab build

[steep tusk]

Troll Armor + Knife

[still pine]

Okay

i was able to make the abyssal razor super early thankfully

[compact heath]

also huntsmen bow = stealth archer

[still pine]

Alright

[steep tusk]

Bows don't stab people 😉

[compact heath]

well, depends on how define stabbing

a spear sorta can stab as well

[tired root]

Shooting a bow is making a dab before the target dies.

[still pine]

Is there a more automatic way to farm greydwarf eyes

[compact heath]

afk greydwarf spawner can be build

[tired root]

Making a ga.. krhm, fire chamber with hanging braziers, using tamed wolves in a pit or farming ||blood magic skill with skellies||.

[compact heath]

you get eyes and stone/wood and dandelions and trophies etc

[still pine]

Alright, ill have to youtube some builds but i want a relatively simple manual farm so i do the work

[compact heath]

different ways to build it, probably loads of videos on it on yt

[still pine]

Yeah i assumed as much, defs want a minecraft esque player kills only deal, But i cant adapt anything for that

[compact heath]

I like to do it with wolves pre mistlands for the eyes

[desert monolith]

If you use standing brazier they don’t take dmg dealing fire to mobs, so can be full automated

[tired root]

Neither do hanging brazier. And it is rather easy to get them on ground level to set them dwarves on fire.

[desert monolith]

Arh yeah.

I think the reason I do standing ones is, you can create ceilings for the spawners, so the greydrawves only spawn in a 1x1 square. And the hanging “blocks” the spawn, but the standing doesn’t, so they spawn and side on top of the standing, and die.

[tired root]

My hanging braziers have not blocked their spawning.

[desert monolith]

do you do a 1x1 spawn for it?

i.e. block all sqaures apart from a 1m square?

because it is the "can I see sky" check that determines the exact spots they can spawn around the spawner

not a spawn radius supression

[tired root]

No, 4x4 iirc. 4 braziers.

[desert monolith]

yeah - so I do 1x standing brazer in a 1x1 sqaure. That's the difference.

All good - different methods - similar outcome

[tired root]

Actually might be 6x6. Don't remember but that's my method how I've usually built 'em.

[cosmic mesa]

the stagbreaker makes those pesky draugr spawners safer, just mine part of the mud to verify mob presence, then stagbreak away,

[hallow marsh]

how do i "anwser" my suggestion-discussion to a suggestion?

thats one thing, but i mean like the post above mine...

[jagged oracle]

I'm not sure to understand what you want to do 🤔

[tired root]

Do you mean like this? -> #valheim-help message

Right click -> "Copy Message Link" -> paste.

[hallow marsh]

like Eedyy's post above, the thing he did with bingopongo's msg...

i know its just to reply but how dose it work over channels?

my friend helped me, the button next to "reply"... (the outher arrow)

thx annyway guys 😄

[zenith saddle]

it is a valid playstyle if I play Valheim using the lowest difficulty settings with raids turned off and I'm not missing out on any gameplay mechanics if I do, right? Because the raids just stress my girlfriend and I out and we wanna have a bit more of a chill gaming experience. Gather resources, build a cool castle base, basically Minecraft but not blocky, better designed and viking themed.

[buoyant peak]

no

[fringe mirage]

Do cultivated/planted trees drop "seeds"?

[buoyant peak]

yes

[zenith saddle]

...would you please elaborate a bit on that?

[hallow marsh]

like replay to a suggestion put in the suggestion-discussion.

[buoyant peak]

I'm not missing out on any gameplay mechanics if I do, right?

you don't

[zenith saddle]

Perfect, thank you! 🙂

[fringe mirage]

Always? After a certain time growing? The ones I have chopped from my cultivated soil don't seem to drop seeds.

[tired root]

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

[foggy dome]

Understood

[tired root]

All good. 👍

[buoyant peak]

same rng wild trees have

[fringe mirage]

Thanks. Is it fair to say that you will eventually have to chop more wild trees (which regrow on their own) to have a surplus of the respective seed?

I've chopped about 10 farmed trees and there does not seem to be enough seeds to replace what I chopped. I realize 10 trees is a small sample.

[lilac coyote]

Wild trees don't regrow.

[tired root]

Do a favor to yourself and to everyone else and chop the stumps while you're at it.

[fringe mirage]

Wild trees don't regrow? I'm sure there is a patch of saplings where I clear cut... I could be confused.

[frosty frost]

No they dont, you need to plant them yourself to get new fully grown trees

[fringe mirage]

Maybe it's just a patch of young trees that I decided to spare haha

[frosty frost]

Quite likely

[still pine]

can i still have this wonderful little guy

[still pine]

Whats a good way to traverse the swamps

Thats a dumb question, whats an easy way to avoid the death toll in swamps

[tired root]

You mean the pet rock? You can find specific rock beginning 1000m from center of world in first 4 biomes (more likely in first 2).

[still pine]

Roger

[sudden kettle]

Question: can I find Mysterious Rock in world which existed before latest patch?

[frosty frost]

Yes but only in previously not generated areas 🙂

[sudden kettle]

Ok thanks!

[frosty frost]

Also a tip, look in Meadows and Black forest 😉

[viscid junco]

Do trolls not despawn

[frosty frost]

Not many mobs despawn, pretty much only raid spawned and night spawned mobs do

[tired root]

All mobs despawn at death.

[viscid junco]

Three trolls around my base, surrounded on all sides, all wielding trees

Only after so many deaths have I killed 2 with only a crude bow and fire arrows, this is hell

[viscid junco]

Hey I keep finding these areas in the black forest with blue particles in a small ring floating up. I can't find any use but I feel like it's purposeful. Is there loot hidden underneath or something?

[tired root]

It's environmental effect in black forest.

[viscid junco]

😦

[tired root]

There are some ruins that can contain chests tho.

[viral cave]

What food are you running?

[burnt rain]

What's the easiest way to get soft tissue?

[steep tusk]

Skulls.

[fringe stone]

Anyone plays with a controller?

[steep tusk]

Many people.

[tired root]

Finding skulls would be the best source, in dvergr camps and towers too and abandoned camps. Plus, ||inside putrid holes in Ashlands||.

[fringe stone]

And is ps5 controller supported

[steep tusk]

You'd have to ask Steam.

[burnt rain]

thanks

[fringe stone]

?

[steep tusk]

Point to which word is causing confusion.

[fringe stone]

You’re not tuff lil blud 🥀🙏

[steep tusk]

That response makes no sense given the context.

[fringe stone]

Just so u know u don’t look tuff talking fancy like dat

[steep tusk]

Why is the assumption that I am attempting to look tough?

[fringe stone]

Talking like that you ain’t him 🙏🙏

[steep tusk]

I have no idea what you mean 🤷‍♂️

[fringe stone]

ur weird

[steep tusk]

Because I speak properly?

[lilac coyote]

What are you on about?

[viscid junco]

Cooked dear, cooked boar, honey. Wasn't even impressive tbh, whole game plan was lure troll to base, shoot behind stake walls

[viral cave]

Basically, PS5 controller support isn't a problem Iron Gate can address, only Steam.

[viscid junco]

I kept dying because they're faster than me and the terrain of black forest

[viral cave]

Health isn't going to do much against trolls, maybe try swapping the boar out for queen's jam

Give you some more stamina for dodge rolls

[tired root]

That, if they have already acquired cauldron.

[viscid junco]

I don't even have the cooking ma bobber, I have no bronze

[viral cave]

And get on the carrot grind ASAP so you can get better foods like deer stew and carrot soup

[steep tusk]

Cooked Dear? 😭 Your poor partner...

[viral cave]

In which case, try swapping the boar for blueberries or raspberries

[rain parcel]

is there a trick to sleep without fire in vanilla?

[true steeple]

Use a forge

[viscid junco]

Oh I get it now

[steep tusk]

Well you are now 😛

[viral cave]

Yes. What use case for this are you looking at? Getting a fire up and running isn't hard

[true steeple]

I'd assume so fuel doesn't have to be spent constantly, which a forge solves. For any other reason there is probably a better solution

Using a forge gives you the fire buff for a short time so if you're quick you can use it to sleep without any fuel

[rain parcel]

So I spent like 15 irl days building a house, and the house is finally finished. Today I just found out that I built bedroom and beds too far from fireplace and chimney and I couldn't use the bed. I rather not renovate the house because I spent too much time building it.

[viral cave]

Firstly, that sounds awesome. I kinda want to see this if you throw it in #building-screenshots

Secondly, you could try building a hanging brazier near the bed. It's less intrusive than a hearth or campfire.

You might get more aesthetically sound tips from #building-tips

[rain parcel]

even tho I spent 15 days building it's nothing compared to those screenshots xd. I actually need some more ideas to improve the house.

I tried the hanging braizer and it looked nice. It still creates smoke but I can make a vent for that. Thank you

[viral cave]

Eyyyy glad I could help!

[dusk prawn]

Hey, does anyone know the command for no stamina cost here?

[viral cave]

SetKey StaminaRate 0

At least that's what my precursory web search yielded. You could also bind the heal command to a key of your choice.

Out of curiosity, what are you using this for?

[dusk prawn]

thank youuuuuuu :D

[dusk prawn]

my dad is a casual player and he plays like on the lowest difficulty settings and all, I think it would be helpful for his playstyle. do u agree? ^^

[viral cave]

You're basically turning the game into something it's not designed to be, but hey, some people like their games that way

I'd personally go for running HSS food instead of setting infinite stamina. It just takes a bit of practice to use stamina carefully

[viral cave]

What biome are you two currently on?

[devout flame]

You could try StaminaRate 70 or 50 for reduced stamina costs

[viral cave]

Or maybe instead of having reduced stamina, cheat in a couple stacks of minor stamina meads for early game use as an "oh shit" button so that he can still safely mess up, but isn't being completely carried by dev commands the entire way

And also introduce him to game mechanics that save stamina, like building furniture for longer rested effect, avoiding water, and not exploring at night

[subtle parrot]

My guess, based on others points I've seen, if he likes to build a lot more than anything else, no stam cost is nice to have.

[dusk prawn]

ah no hes just on his singleplayer world ^^

[dusk prawn]

100 is default?

[dusk prawn]

ye I personally would never play it that way, I always play on hardmore. my dad cant handle any pressure tho lmao, thats why im helping him a bit to enjoy the game

[dusk prawn]

he has like 2k hours and got most of the knowledge, hes basically just trash at the game if I say so

[viral cave]

oh dang, yeah if he's at 2k hours all my previous statements fly out the window. I thought he was new

"Been there, done that, not for me"

[dusk prawn]

xD

[viral cave]

"Got the T-shirt from Hildir"

[hasty forge]

I accidentally turned off auto pickup, how do i turn it back on?

[buoyant peak]

v

[viral cave]

I rebind that key to something on the other half of the keyboard because I almost never have the need to turn it off

[burnt rain]

Can you explain really simply how to use Eitr in Mistlands? I have the staffs, but I can't use them.

[steep tusk]

Food.

[true steeple]

You need food that increases your Eitr.

[steep tusk]

Increases vs. Gives you to begin with 😉

[burnt rain]

So do I have to go to Ashlands first?

[steep tusk]

Why would that be your conclusion?

[true steeple]

You can make eitr food with mistlands ingredients

Why would the staves be craftable with mistlands materials if you had to wait until ashlands?

[tired root]

Have you upgraded your cauldron?

[burnt rain]

its leve 4

[true steeple]

It should be level 5, what improvements does it have?

[tired root]

At lvl 5 you can cook Mistlands foods.

[burnt rain]

i dont have flametal

[true steeple]

Flametal is an ashlands material and not required for anything in earlier biomes

[tired root]

Highest level is 6, the last you get in Ashlands, so you are now missing some upgrade.

[burnt rain]

Are there other ways to upgrade the cauldron to level 5?

[tired root]

Which upgrades you have now?

[burnt rain]

It shows that there's nothing left to do

Am I missing something in Mistlands?"

[steep tusk]

Black Marble.

[tired root]

1. Spice rack, 2. butcher's table, 3. pots and pans and 4. mortar and pestle.

[burnt rain]

i have magic thing 3 level

[steep tusk]

Black Marble.

[true steeple]

Spice rack is easy to miss as it requires turnips which are rare. Have you farmed turnips?

[burnt rain]

turnips?

i dont have any

[tired root]

Okay, so you don't have spice rack either.

[subtle parrot]

You'll find the seeds as yellow flowers in the swamps

[tired root]

Seeds for turnips are found in swamps.

[viral cave]

Oh jeez, no turnips? There's your problem.

[burnt rain]

oh i just speedrun the swamp i think

[viral cave]

Do you have carrots and onions at least?

[true steeple]

I really think turnips should be more common to avoid this problem

[burnt rain]

I'm new to the game and playing alone, so I took twice the iron and got out.

I'm going back to the swamp now, thanks for your help

[tired root]

Yeah at that point where you are now you have no problem running through some swamps.

To speed yourself, you could wear fenris armor (if you have crafted it) and use Ratatosk tonic (if you have found the swamp NPC).

[stray locust]

Are turnips rarer than onion seeds?

[true steeple]

In my experience, they're a lot harder to find

[tired root]

Depends, turnip seeds are found as yellow flowers similar to carrot seeds, but the environment makes them quite easy to miss (and they seem quite rare sometimes). Onions are easier to find since they are found inside chests in ruins around mountains.

[versed yoke]

I searched a whole mountain and no onion seeds

[mental dove]

guys i've got a question with my friend its been like 2 y that we dont play and we just replay today like 5 hour and we reach the bronze age so now we have to go to the dark forest or swamp i dont remember ?

[lilac coyote]

Bronze is IN the Black Forest. So after you've killed the Elder you want Swamp.

[mental dove]

ooo ok thks a lot

[tired root]

Technically copper and tin are found in black forest, which are made into bronze.

[stray locust]

Same hahah

[tired root]

Up to the next mountain then. 🗻

[stray locust]

Today, soon

[brave root]

How fast should i be progressing through the game? I have stepped into the swamp briefly then running away while poisoned and im on day 110 and im debating moving my base or trying to kill the next boss in the swamp (i tend to walk away from my computer alot so i have probably over 20 days of afk time). How many bosses do most people have killed in 100 days?

[subtle parrot]

Have your made poison resist mead?

[brave root]

i did now but not at the time i went to the swamp

[desert monolith]

It’s not a race. Some people do it over months. Some people do it over hours.

If you are having fun; you are playing at the right speed.

[stray locust]

But I found 4 dragon eggs and moder location with no rune

[subtle parrot]

That's good, and while I'm not sure about others, my first run i did i hit the swamp around day 115-120

[fringe mirage]

Is it still possible to stun lock a troll with a bronze atgeir?

[bleak marsh]

Yup! With a 3-hit combo or the strong attack

[tired root]

Start with secondary attack until it staggers, then keep hitting with primary hits.

[formal anchor]

If you leave and enter the same chunk, does the chance for serpent re-roll?

[stray locust]

Yeah

[formal anchor]

Also does the biome indicator have to say ocean or can it just be open water

[stray locust]

even during the day

[lilac coyote]

No.

[stray locust]

I believe that if you saw the serpent once it may reappear near the shore

[lilac coyote]

Serpents spawn only during night or storms and only in full Ocean biome. Night spawned serpents will despawn at daybreak, others will remain.

[fringe mirage]

The problem is practice. I get killed in two hits so it's hard to get the rhythm down.

[stray locust]

I've seen some serpents during the day

[tired root]

Day spawns during rain don't despawn.

[lilac coyote]

Literally what I said.

[tired root]

Have you practiced dodging?

[fringe mirage]

I'm aware of it. I know how to do it but I have no real sparring experience.

And with trolls I dont have room for error.

[tired root]

You could try luring it in open area. Much easier to zoom out camera to see its movements.

[fringe mirage]

That would definitely help. I get stuck on rocks and things on the ground a lot.

I could also set a spawn point closer to the troll so dieing is less of a pain while practicing.

[fringe stump]

Need some ideas, have a player that whenever they sleep or die gets disconnected from server and rolled back slightly. Only happening to one player on dedicated server. We are using some mods and can’t see anything in the logs only shows her disconnects

[tired root]

Practice makes perfect. Have a good one. 👍

[tired root]

I'd ask either in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599.

[fringe mirage]

I'll settle for "less bad" rather than perfect 🙂

[tired root]

Okay, maybe rather this: practice gives confidence.

And confidence brings success.

[fringe mirage]

Thank you business sensei 😃

[tired root]

👍

[brave root]

how do biomes in the water that arent ocean work? like at some parts of the water it will say a land biome even though im in the water and not close to land

[tired root]

It depends how deep the water is.

[still pine]

[misty sage]

How do you avoid getting overwhelmed in Ashlands? Multiple enemies of every type swarmed and killed me then camped my body. The extreme quantity of enemies is very discouraging sometimes.

[lunar cedar]

my approach is usually be overprepared and don't do anything loud before cleaning up the spawners

it used to be worse, I think they found a good balance now

[misty sage]

Ashlands was worse?

I wanna be surprised but I remember original Deathsquitos lol

[lunar cedar]

yeah, now its challenging and demanding, but not to the same frustration level people had

deathsquitoes were nerfed with the addition of root armor

but they still pack a punch if you don't care enough

[frosty frost]

Good balance was after the first one or two patches where the bug of alerting enemies too much was fixed, now it Is kinda too empty in there.

[lunar cedar]

I found myself always in combat still, managed to gather resources but there was always someone close by

I just don't let them pile up

[steep tusk]

War biome is about war 😉

[tired root]

AoE weapons help a lot against swarms: Demolisher or Himminafl for melee, Ember staff for mageplay. Slow effect of frost is also good for cc: Mistwalker, Frostner, Frost staff and Frost arrows have that.
Once you get progress on your journey you encounter ||gemstones|| in ||fortresses|| which are used to ||give flametal weapons special effects, like chain lightning, which is useful against groups of enemies too||.
Bonemass helps against physical damage if needed. Surprisingly ||many mobs deal either fully or partially pierce damage, so there is an armor that grants pierce resistance||.
If you get swarmed, you can try bait them to hit each other, other mobs than charred and voltures deal friendly fire and can damage each other.

[still pine]

Whats the best way to beat bonemass

[steep tusk]

Iron Mace.

[lunar cedar]

poison resistance mead, iron mace

[still pine]

I assume iron armor, iron mace and poison resist mead? with armor and mace maxed?

[misty sage]

Clubs so yeah iron mace

[steep tusk]

No.

[still pine]

Oh

[lunar cedar]

armor is whatever you want

[still pine]

Oh okay i didnt know that

[steep tusk]

He's a zero damage fight. Armor and Resist shouldn't be needed at all.
Just mace + food and you're set.

Raised Hand = Swipe. Roll into him.
Both Hands on Belly = Poison Vomit, either backroll twice or turn around and sprint for 2s.
Hand in Armpit = Adds spawn, turn around, run in direction he is face. One shot when they land with Iron Mace or Sledge.

He is a literal zero-damage fight.

[lunar cedar]

you can tank his vomit with a good armor and resist to kill him faster

[still pine]

Thats wild, alright thanks

[tired root]

Tbf for newer players, saying he is "zero damage fight" might be misleading since they usually don't have the skills to take zero damage yet.
Armor can be almost anything, iron armor gives highest defence but you can also mix light and heavy armor. Poison resistance mead helps tremendously. And like others said, mace is the best option.

[still pine]

Is it safe to assume the iron mace can be used as a main weapon besides whatever else you want, could i also use a shield or does that slow it down

[tired root]

Shield can help if you're not confident with dodging yet. You can block his attacks but you get poisoned when his hits connect.

[still pine]

I gotta work on my dodge roll anyways

[tired root]

Practice gives confident, which leads to more success. 👍

[still pine]

Agreed

[tired root]

Also optional, but you can prepare the area around altar by leveling it with hoe to remove water around it.

[steep tusk]

Giving the full explanation of each animation and how to counter it is misleading?

[still pine]

I mean when you said no damage fight i was like "Wut" but i understood when you mentioned the way to go around the animations

[steep tusk]

Slow mode gives the 10s pause 😉

[tired root]

Not the explaining part but the "zero damage fight" claim, which is unlikely for newer players.

[steep tusk]

But they are provided together.
So...

[still pine]

How do i go about Mass hunting Serpents in any way, im aware of their rarity/to me atleast unknown mechanics but im not sure if there was some way that is productive

LMAO i opened youtube and got a video reccomended about best serpent hunting tips

I can share the video if anyone is interested

[tired root]

If you're only after the meat, you can just go sail around through night and shoot them with frost arrows as you see them, as the meat floats but other drops don't.
If you want other drops, then you might want to take a harpoon with you and drag them to shore, or do a bit trickier way to get at least some of the drops:
Just before the finishing shot jump above it and shoot at the same time so when it dies you have chance to get some other drops from it.

[mild owl]

is there a newbie friendly server?

[compact heath]

Yes there is several, also recommended to look in the area and timezone you are in #1024264966712340510 talk to people there to find one

[mild owl]

thank you!

[desert monolith]

or kite/agro them into a swamp biome and they get into a fight with leeches on the shoreline and die in shallow water - you dont need a harpoon (but does need some specific criteria unlike a harpoon)

[barren seal]

Been coasting a ton of swamps, still no bog witch ffs

[cedar lodge]

yup, myself and i bet many of us had some trouble finding traders, last one that got me nuts was Haldor on my latest playthroug, it's time to spend some time on exploring, maybe starting from your Haldor point, bring a karve and portal materials and start tracing a "ring" keeping the same distance from map center, then if you're so unlucky you don't find her, start spiralling out, i know it could be very time consuming, but can be useful to uncover some map and maybe marking POIs and biome distribution

[barren seal]

I always carry mats for a portal on me, is the bog witch always a certain distance from the center? bcz I have trailed a bunch of swamps from my map, but haven't tried circling in a diameter specifically

[lilac coyote]

No, she can be in any swamp,

[fading obsidian]

what helped me find them was getting the map markers from the clothing trader

then i kinda sailed out to the three dungeony things, just to scope them out

[lilac coyote]

How would that help finding a completely different trader?

[fading obsidian]

i found them on the way, they make you go very far

[barren seal]

I am there, whatt kind of markers? I only see clothes

[fading obsidian]

when you copy the map markers down they’ll all be tossed around super far, i happened to get kinda lucky and find it on the way on the third try

she’s got like a table, the clothes trader, and it gives you these locations, it’s for her like personal quest to unlock all the fashion

it’s not a direct giveaway but it at least gives you a good direction to try in

[lilac coyote]

But there's zero guarantee that Bog Witch will be anywhere near any of them, especially those outside of the Swamp.

[fading obsidian]

like yeah but i mean it’s worth it to go to those places anyways?

odds are you’ll sail past it on the way to one of the like 9 or however many dungeons it spawns

[cedar lodge]

yup there's a minimum diameter, the hut spawns at least ||3000m|| from map center, that's why i reccommended the "spiral" exploring, starting from Hildir could be a good idea since she has the same diameter limitations, but judging from your map even your Haldor spawn could be far enough

[cedar lodge]

as Derek said Bog Witch spawn is totally unrelated to Hildir's quest location, but yeh, could be an alternative exploration idea, you could travel and explore to your fav Hildir's location to maybe leave there a fixed portal for the future, and check the swamps you encounter on your way there, two birds with a stone (well one at least)

[fading obsidian]

yeah i’m not sure there’s a way to 100% find it with microscope detail, but it’s at least a productive way to try! 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Well, you could always look it up, but most people aren't keen on that.

[barren seal]

It's my first playthrough and first time ever going to Hildir, I just went there bcz it was near mear + near a swamp and wanted to see what it is, I don't really care about cosmetics, at least not now

From my map u can see the river thing where I didn't fully trail a swamp, and if that's not it there is also a really far ocean at the top left with a "swamp" campfire icon I can check out

[fading obsidian]

yeah the only cool thing she has tbh is those iron fire bowl thingies. for me the pleasure was watching her camp get filled back up

[barren seal]

Also I assume I can't build in Hildir's sphere? would be nice as a safe spot for a portal

[fading obsidian]

sadly no but just outside of it works, facing it so you can immediately run in 🙂

when you run in the mobs drop the aggro

i’m only doing my first playthrough too btw, i’m saving the mistlands boss rn until my bf is off work

[cedar lodge]

Remember that traders' markers appear quite far off your position, so you just have to check the swamp coastline, and maybe run inland for 100ish meters only if the swamp patch is very big, always check far map with ; & : as you sail around

[fading obsidian]

is there only 3 trader dudes? or should i be looking for more

[cedar lodge]

nope, in the sphere and some meters away from it you'll get the same no building message as near the sacrifical stones

[lilac coyote]

There are currently (and probably only ever) 3 different traders.

[fading obsidian]

okie dokie! glad to know before sailing literally everywhere

[barren seal]

That saved me, it borders a swamp and plains and some goblins + deathsquitos + wrath targeted me and I was 1 hit from dead, no stamina, potion CD, walked into the dome, if it wasn't there I would've died for sure (well if it wasn't there I would've have gotten into this situation)

[cedar lodge]

yup due to distance from center Hildir is likely found near or bordering Plains, and her rune circle is often safety feom certain death 😁 when you'll find the Witch you'll see some even more "active" area protection but i won't spoil further

[barren seal]

By "center" do u mean 0, 0 or where the altar is? also haldor is only like 1500m from that area and most swamps I searched are less than that distance

[true steeple]

The sacrificial stones don't always appear in the center

[barren seal]

Yeye which is why I asked what he was referring to, cuz my altar is offset by 200 in X/Z

[true steeple]

Distances are measured from the world's center, not the stones

[barren seal]

So 0,0 alr

[cedar lodge]

0,0 i think it coincides with the sacrifical stones location, yup Haldor can spawn at 1500, so maybe starting from Hildir's diameter is more safe (Haldor seemed to me more than 1500 on your map but maybe i'm wrong)

[cedar lodge]

oh ok i never noticed that, so yes, Traders' / biomes' limits would be calculated from 0,0

[barren seal]

I just do the math, Hildir is at 3600 so I can start slightly before, I have this ready to plug in coords

[cedar lodge]

oh ok that's quite accurate, Hildir's ring spiralling it is!

[barren seal]

What's the detection range for the symbol? bcz it's quite further than the biome detection

Also is there only a single NPC (would make sense logically but having duplicates like ik bosses have would be nice)

[cedar lodge]

it's about 400m iirc, will appear on unexplored map as you get close enough

[cedar lodge]

yup, once you find each trader the other possible locations won't spawn traders anymore, 1 per type, minibosses have multiple locations

quoting wiki "This can happen from 320 to 453 meters away (about twice of the default minimap range)"

[barren seal]

Oh so there are multiple locations it can spawn but it'll then just not spawn in others, thats actually good especially if u have 1 side explored a bunch and the other side not, so u probably can still find it on that side

[cedar lodge]

yup, 10 locations, first one you find will stick and exclude others

[barren seal]

That's good game design, also swamp island lol

And these 10 locations are randomly on the map as long as it's higher than 3k? aka is there a "too far" where I should stay below a certain range

[cedar lodge]

yeh, there's a far limit but it coincides with specific biome generation limit, eg Hildir can't spawn over 5100 because Meadows won't generate over that limit

[grave lodge]

Why did my boar run away? I came across a 2 star boar randomly and i wanted to tame it so i had it chase me a far distance to my base and then i captured and tamed it. When it came time to moving it into a bigger pen, it just sprinted out and into the distance, so far and so fast i ran out of stamina and it left my view.

[frosty frost]

Did you find it with a group of other boars near a runestone?

[grave lodge]

I did find it with a group of boars, I can't recall if there was a runestone near it though

[barren seal]

Erm how do I deal with serpents again? I am on a karve, I have a bow and the harpoon thingy

[frosty frost]

If there was more than like 3-4 other boars then i am almost certain there was 🙂 unfortunate thing is that boars taht spawned from the one time spawnpoint near the runestone try to always go back to it, so you need to make babies first before trying to move the original tamed boar

[frosty frost]

Shoot over and over 🙂

[barren seal]

With the harpoon or with the bow? and then how am I supposed to get the food? does it float?

[frosty frost]

The food does float, but the scales do not, so if you want them use the harpoon to drag it to shallow water before killing it 🙂

[grave lodge]

Aww, i see. That likely completely eliminates the chance of me getting it back, there's no chance i'm bringing a tamed animal across an entire starting continent
Thank you for the answer nonetheless.

[frosty frost]

It would be hard sadly, especially since he will always be going back

[barren seal]

I am near a swamp, shallow waters r hostile so ig no scales for me (I assume u make armor with them or smthing? or what stage would I need scales at?)

[frosty frost]

It would be for a swamp level thing that can be very useful even later, tho i personally dont like to use that thing 🙂

[barren seal]

Alr thx, just took the food cuz I cba, might eventually try to get that

[cedar lodge]

Yeh the only thing i find properly useful (and very useful) is the floating meat, but the sinking trophy and the craftable made with scales are among my favourite decoration items in game, so still worth some harpooning for me

[frosty frost]

True, one of, if not the best looking thing of that type of things imo 😄

[misty sage]

I meant like when the game first came out. They were so deadly that it wasn't fun to play and they had to be nerfed.

[barren seal]

One of these literally chased me to water bcz I was near a 5m plains island

[cedar lodge]

uuh, yup, micro-plain patches are evil

[barren seal]

I think bog witch has a thing for them (if I can fucking find her)

[cedar lodge]

Bog Witch has things for many things 😁

[tired root]

Things for many things that do... things.

[still pine]

Is there any real way to find the exact location of the rock item

[tough hare]

The "normal" way:

Look in Black Forest, Meadows, Mountains and Swamp at a distance of at least 800 meters from the spawn and between a height of 5 to 20 meters.

Dropping the vegetation generation down to the lowest setting helps a lot with it.
And use screenshots from https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 for a reference.

"The cheating way":
Open your game map, enable dev-commands, press F5 and type:

find pickable_stone rock

You will get a ping symbol shown on your map of the location of the Rock.

[still pine]

When i do that command it does it for all of the stones in range

[barren seal]

This also works for bog witch? I might do that, been looking for hours

[tired root]

"Find BogWitch 10" or "Find BogWitch_Camp 10" shows all 10 possible spawn points.

[barren seal]

Will it ping them for a few seconds or will it permanently show those locations?

[tired root]

It sets temporal markers on the spots.

[barren seal]

Alr

[barren seal]

Ok I looked it up, all of them were like super far, closest is 3600m from center, the ones near where I already explored were like 4500m (and I was searching in the 3500-4000 area)

Would've taken me probably 10 hours to find it if not more

[misty sage]

I would love to explore a slightly emptier Ashlands tbh. As soon as I step out of my colonized fort and see ||2 archers, 2 humpbacks, a 1-star warrior, and a Morgen|| waiting for me, my only thought is that the game is telling me not to go exploring. No other biome has given me this vibe of not wanting you to go outside and look around. Sure Plains and Mistlands were rough, but they weren't creating a constant state of being attacked.

I just figured it out. It feels like one of those FPS zombie game modes. It feels like you're intended to kill as many of the endless stream of enemies as you can till you die.

Idk that's what my experience feels like but I know that that's not the way the devs portray this game. Am I doing things wrong or is this how it's supposed to feel?

[true steeple]

Ashlands is intended to be a much more combat focused biome. The game isn't telling you not to go exploring, you just have to try your best to explore and fight simultaneously.

[frosty frost]

It is supposed to be a biome you dont want to spend time in just leisurely exploring but instead always be on your toes 🙂 that is its design

[misty sage]

That makes a lot more sense then

[tired root]

You need to craft dual axes ASAP and start to hack and slash.

[fringe stone]

Is there a way to repair broken utensils?

Or do you just have to throw them away

[tired root]

Workbench and hammer icon.

[frosty frost]

Go to workbench and look at the left side of the crafting menu 😉

[fringe stone]

Okay thank you I started playing yesterday

[frosty frost]

Welcome in then 😄 hope you enjoy the game as much as most of us did and do. Just a quick recommendation, it might not be a very good idea to look around here in discord since you will inevitably come across many spoilers. And imho the first playthrough is the absolute best 😉 .
However if you will ever need help dont hesitate to ask 😄

[fringe stone]

Ok thank you very much 🙏

[still pine]

Whats the easiest way to beat moder

[tough hare]

Dev commands. 😉

[surreal quiver]

Devcommands
Debugmode
Killall

[tough hare]

But if you don't want to use cheats:

Bow with either fire or obsidian arrows for when she's flying; iron mace, iron sword, fang spear or an atgeir for when she's on the ground.
Combine that with the armor and shield of your preference and the best food you have.

[tired root]

Any iron/silver tier weapon is good against her, except Frostner.

[frosty frost]

Silver sword will be better than iron one, but cost a LOT of silver 🙂

[drifting pasture]

what can the Elder actually break? theres is alot of really good resources around an Elder arena and im considering trying to use Elder to farm but if it can only break trees i see no reason to not just drown it in fire

[tough hare]

Trees and rocks. Perhaps copper nodes too, but I've never seen one close to an altar to start with.
The altar itself is indestructible.

[drifting pasture]

theres 3 very exposed copper nodes less than a workstation radius to the altar im gon test it and see

[surreal quiver]

Good luck

[drifting pasture]

fire arrows is still best arrow against elder right?

[surreal quiver]

Yea

[true steeple]

All bronze weapons work well if you'd prefer melee

[drifting pasture]

thanks. been a while since ive done melee against it now that u mention it

[fringe stone]

Is it possible to craft armors early in the game?

[tough hare]

You can craft one in the Meadows on the Workbench.
Although you may need a spear, knife or bow to get the ingredients for it.

[true steeple]

Rag and Leather armor sets are very early

[fringe stone]

Do I have to follow the black crow to progress in the story?

[true steeple]

He just gives you hints and advice about the game, you aren't following him anywhere

[fringe stone]

So how do I progress in the story?

[true steeple]

Gather materials, make stronger equipment and food, kill the next boss, repeat until no bosses are left

[fringe stone]

What’s better for fighting, club or knife?

[frosty frost]

All weapons are pretty balanced over all 🙂 stick with what you like better

[viral cave]

Both are viable in many situations. What enemies are you fighting, and what tier of weapons are you making?

[frosty frost]

They just started so meadows 😄

[viral cave]

Knife is gonna suck beyond the initial hit against ||skeletons|| in the next biome, but apart from that, both are solid choices.

[frosty frost]

Not as much as a spear tho 😄

[fringe stone]

I hate greydwarfs 😂

What’s “no skill drain” ?

[frosty frost]

That is a buff when you die so you dont loose too many skills while dying multiple times in a short time span

[fringe stone]

I’m in Black Forest now

Is Black Forest hard?

[frosty frost]

Depends on your equipment and food 🙂

[fringe stone]

I have no armor

[frosty frost]

You can get some in meadows 😄

[fringe stone]

Oh the leather one?

[frosty frost]

Yep, leather one 🙂 (there are also rags but those are worse)

[fringe stone]

Is dark forest the place with trolls?

[frosty frost]

Indeed it is 😄

[fringe stone]

Oh I’m not gonna go any further then 😬😆

[viral cave]

You'll die a few times at first, but they're really good for teaching you how to time dodge rolls.

[fringe stone]

Are greydwarfs Black Forest only?

[frosty frost]

They can also spawn at night in meadows after you kill first boss

[fringe stone]

What’s corpse run? 😂

[frosty frost]

Wait, corpse run...

Another buff that lasts for 50 seconds and applies the following effects:

Jump stamina usage: -75%
Run stamina usage: -75%
Damage modifier: Resistant VS Blunt
Damage modifier: Resistant VS Slash
Damage modifier: Resistant VS Pierce
5 health per second
Carry weight: +150

[barren seal]

U can always respawn it btw

[fringe stone]

Thanks

How do you create plantations?

[frosty frost]

You need materials from black forest 🙂

[fringe stone]

Oh okay 👍

Do mobs get harder as day pass?

[frosty frost]

No, they are the same at all times

[viral cave]

The ||events|| scale with the types of enemies that have died in your world, though

[fringe stone]

What does it mean: “Eikthyr rallies the creatures of the forest”

[frosty frost]

That is a raid/event 😄 (or free food delivery as few like to call it)

[fringe stone]

But what type of creatures?

Animals?

[frosty frost]

You will see 😉

dont worry too much tho 😄

[fringe stone]

Okay ahah 👍😃

[viral cave]

If you're genuinely scared, ||use your first few ingots of bronze to make an atgeir and use the secondary attack||

[frosty frost]

They didnt even killed the first boss yet tho 😉

[fringe stone]

Oh it was just animals 😂

[fringe stone]

I’m 2 hours into the game 😂😂

[viral cave]

Should've clarified that that piece of advice was for black forest, my bad

[plain jewel]

Hello guys, how to make karve?

All the materials are there but it doesn't open

[rancid marsh]

Karve? Open w your hammer
Hey all. I’m having trouble spawning flametal/ore w DevC. It just gives me the ancient stuff.

You have the basic craft tab open

[hollow monolith]

is there any wall that stops mobs, but lets smoke pass?

[rancid marsh]

Typically smoke escapes above ground floor.

Not sure what exactly you’re trying to do. Is there a reason it’s so low w mob access?

[true steeple]

That’s core wood, not fine wood
Fine wood is dropped by birch and oak trees

[hollow monolith]

@rancid marsh basically i have a house with holes at the ends of my roof ridges to allow the smoke out

what i want is to find a way to batproof it for the future (new world with raids)

[true steeple]

If there's no animals inside bats won't be an issue. They're super weak towards players.

[hollow monolith]

are 'squitoes part of any raid- just asking? (on my previous, no raid world i only managed to reach the mistlands)

[true steeple]

Sadly no

[rancid marsh]

Ah ok

[cedar lodge]

it depends on how big is the house, but if there's enough space for the smoke to accumulate on top without dropping under player choke level, will work fine even without ventilation

[rancid marsh]

A big empty attic..

[hollow monolith]

i understand- i just like to keep things as historically accurate looking, as spossible (so no chineys), within limitations of valheim- hence my initial question
ive beenm playoing valheim for a few months now

[rancid marsh]

No portals for you lol

[cedar lodge]

makes sense, maybe exploiting smoke volume mechanic isn't too realistic, iron grates won't let the smoke out due to in-game mechanic, but it could balance the realistic feel

[hollow monolith]

but they don't work- ive tried on a nocost, hammer mode world

[cedar lodge]

or maybe round pole fence if you want stick to wood, if you place them accurately they can make very nice window "fencing"

[hollow monolith]

i'd need to see if they stpo smoke- genuinely curious

[cedar lodge]

yup, never tested em for smoke actually

[hollow monolith]

also- do boras/ wolves need to be in an open area in order to breed?
or can i just keep them in an enclosed space

[rancid marsh]

No

[true steeple]

There is a limit to how many can be nearby, and they will stop breeding after that, but the amount of open space they have won't affect it

[cedar lodge]

nope the'll breed fine if fully enclosed

[hollow monolith]

cool, so problem solved
Thanks everyone!

[rancid marsh]

If you want more than one breeding pen, ya need 12meters between them

[hollow monolith]

basically i wanted to find a way to make a batproof pen- it's just that simple

[rancid marsh]

Fully enclosed w earth n seal it off, dont need fire

[cedar lodge]

i use this super-basic arrangement, the four main walls will keep breeding couples enough space away and you can use the open inside for crops (or anything else actually), this bc i don't want to use tower afk farm designs

[true steeple]

Smoke cannot pass through any solid build pieces.

[rancid marsh]

Already looks bat proof if ya got doors closed

[cedar lodge]

yup 100% bat proof

[rancid marsh]

Just all the other nightmares to consider

[cedar lodge]

yeh for every other raid besides bats and drakes you just have to secure the outer perimeter, usual drill: spawnproof, walls, ditches/moats

[rancid marsh]

Yep

[viral cave]

Doesn't look very Viking-proof, though, since it's trivial for one to enter

[hollow monolith]

not an issue, since my viking seemingly arrived to valheim by himself....
sad norse noises

[true steeple]

Why design a base to keep yourself out

[viral cave]

The fireplace murdered me once, I need to protect myself from it!

[cedar lodge]

yeh probably alive Vikings would't hop on buildings and terrain that high, you know Midgard's laws of physics, being-alive-limitations & stuff 😁

[rancid marsh]

Cousin of Murphy😂

Back to my original Q.
What’s the spawn ID for flametal/ore?
All I get is the ancient stuff

[true steeple]

flametalnew should be correct, if not check the wiki

[rancid marsh]

Oh ok, I looked at multiple sources..
lemme check this out

Sweeeet👍👍

Thankyou

[fringe mirage]

I feel stupid about this but I cannot beat the elder. He's corpse camping me and I can't pull him away from my corpse because the area is crawling with other enemies and I have no gear. I appreciate the game being unforgiving but I feel like its basically forcing me to start over.

(or go LFG to get somebody to recover me.)

[viral cave]

Gravestones don't despawn. Go HSS food, run in there, and run back out when all your stuff is back.

[fringe mirage]

HSS?

[true steeple]

One health food, two stamina foods

Also if you don’t know already, rolling allows you to pass through attacks without taking damage. I didn’t know until much later in the game.

[viral cave]

What food are you using currently?

[fringe mirage]

That was weird, I had a 10 minute block applied to me. When I have my inventory I would have queen's, jerky, deer stew.

Right now I have honey, blue berries, raspberries

[viral cave]

Any deer meat?

[alpine tapir]

is iron cage/grating solid? can smoke pass thru it?

[true steeple]

Smoke won’t pass through that either.

[alpine tapir]

thanks!

[fringe mirage]

I would have to hunt for it

[tired root]

Boar meat/neck tails?

[fringe mirage]

I hve cooked deer meat

[viral cave]

For the sole purpose of getting your stuff back, honey + jam/berries + some sort of meat should be enough to take 1 hit and have enough stamina to run in there and get your stuff

[true steeple]

Not the neck tails!!

[fringe mirage]

I will try it again, I just don't think I can get to my stuff and only take one hit

[viral cave]

For taking out the boss, I'd personally recommend carrot soup + deer stew + queen's jam so you have more stamina regen to fuel dodge rolls

[fringe mirage]

I was trying to kill it with a bow as (I mentioned before with trolls) I have trouble dodging consistently

[tired root]

But the runestone says their tails are delicious.

[fringe mirage]

It's all the adds which have respawned since I started the boss. Thanks for trying to help I know I'm being a bit childish here

[viral cave]

You're not being childish in the slightest. The childish people are the ones who think it's dumb to reach out for help in the first place.

[tired root]

Or those who start to blame game mechanics without learning from mistakes.

[fringe mirage]

That's more reasonable than what's going through my head which is "this is too hard for you and a waste of time anyway. You'll never be good enough. Git gud chump"

[viral cave]

"This game is so bad, I hate the Mistlands because the enemies are tanky and I can't lure them to a more open area"

[viral cave]

I play Valheim in a VC while screensharing, and my friend was merciless when teasing me every time I died multiple times to a troll

[tired root]

I said this earlier (today/yesterday, depending on timezone) and I say it again: Practice gives confidence and leads to more success.

[tired root]

Most cases where people blame the game it is when they are unprepared with no proper gear or foods and go without meads and rested buff.

[viral cave]

At the end of the day, though, even she realized that nobody is gaining it losing elo from a casual game like Valheim, so there's no reason to get mad or worked up about struggling against early game content.

[fringe mirage]

Agreed but the issue is practice is hard because one missed dodge roll means I'm dead and it takes 10 minutes to get back to where I can try again.

[viral cave]

"Carrots? There's carrots in the game?" -average Ashlands hater

[fringe mirage]

Maybe that's just how games are and I've grown impatient in my ~old~ older age

[viral cave]

Build outposts with beds more often. You can cut it down to 2-5 minutes at most this way

[tired root]

Just earlier someone hadn't gotten turnips and asked if eitr foods are available only in Ashlands, but since no turnips they missed the first cauldron upgrade.

[viral cave]

Yeah I remember that one lol

[tired root]

It happens, especially if going blind.

[tired root]

With black forest gear you should be able to tank few hits from a troll for example, so practicing in more open area would be better to see the movements while zoomed out.

[viral cave]

There should be a Hugin hint for anyone that misses a crop a biome or more earlier

[fringe mirage]

Does the default keybind for dodge-roll feel odd to other people or just me?

[tired root]

Hold block and press jump button. Quite simple to me.

[viscid junco]

Copper deposits break when floating, right?

[fringe mirage]

Ah by default it rolls backwards, I thought I had to always include a direction key

That helps a little, ty

[muted hatch]

Has anyone ever encountered a Hildr Frost Cave that did not contain the cultist boss?

[viral cave]

Not just you, but to date all campaigns to add an alternative option have failed. I personally didn't find it too hard to get used to.

[fringe mirage]

Well at least I feel less alone now 🙂

[viral cave]

I wonder if a double bind for jump + block would work...

[true steeple]

Jumping is usually better than rolling and that’s only one button

[viral cave]

That will probably change with the combat update, though.

[true steeple]

Why would it?

The slope changes?

[buoyant peak]

it actually probably would

if enemies can now aim at you from below jumping won't work anymore as dodging

[viral cave]

At least it's not like late game Nine Sols where every attack hitbox takes up the entire screen. One can still use the sprint button for dodging.

[true steeple]

It would depend on if they can change vertical aim mid-attack. The attack could be triggered while the player is on the ground, and then they jump.

[viral cave]

Or if the attack hitbox itself has more verticality, it wouldn't matter what pitch the attack starts at.

[true steeple]

Attack hitboxes already have verticality

But not always an insane amount to make jumping over impossible (why would they do that?)

Some attacks are intentionally designed not to be jumpable but not all/most as you’re suggesting

[viral cave]

Fair points.

[hasty forge]

How do i hook my boat to something so it doesnt float too far?

[viral cave]

Run it slightly aground and push it back into the water when you're ready. That being said, if you get out of the boat, it should come to a complete stop.

[fringe mirage]

After defeating the elder will the game guide me to the next area or do I just explore until I find ||iron||

[viral cave]

Both.

[fringe mirage]

The game hasn't provided any direction yet

I hung the trophy

[viral cave]

Oh, maybe there isn't any Hugin for that after all
My bad yo

[viral cave]

Swamp next. You'll probably need to sail.

[fringe mirage]

Thanks!

I'll snail around a bit and see what I find 🙂

[still pine]

So the hildir quests are fun and i am doing them wit cheats, but clearing the locations, how do you even do that alone?

[viral cave]

Gear up and spam dodge rolls

[still pine]

Lmao fair enough

[viral cave]

Looking through your message history, food doesn't appear to be the issue, so that's good

[still pine]

Yeah no im mostly just doing the hildir stuff with god mode or like just trying to test the difficulty, its pretty fun just enjoying th game as it is with sandbox esque play

[compact heath]

its easy, do the brenna in gear strong enough to easily defeat Elder or already having defeated him, for Geirrhaffa Moder + progression and for the Bro's you want to at least be in maxed plains gear or some mistlands unless you are good at fightin

[still pine]

Whats and for the bro's?

OH the tower nvm

[compact heath]

the hildir plains tower boss/es

like if someone does them in wrong order or gear will be super hard of course

[hasty forge]

Anyway to permanently destroy an item so its not floating around my world or in my inv or a chest?

[compact heath]

yes you have to buy something from the black forest merchant for it if you have found him, or else drop in some deep water and it will despawn

[viral cave]

Items out of range of base (generated by workbenches, torches, artisan tables, smelters, etc. - see wiki page for full list) despawn after an hour of real time

[viscid junco]

A couple of questions

A. At least on the Karve, Is it faster with the level 1 speed(paddle) when you're against the wind?

B. The wiki says that Leviathans only sink after a certain chance when hitting the barnacles. Does this mean I can find one, and come to it later to get prepared?

[lilac coyote]

A. Yes. B. Also yes.

[alpine tapir]

what is the draft on a longboat? is it 3m?

[misty sage]

Do ||Charred Fortress|| walls have stability checks? Like can you dig under them to separate them from the ground and have the walls explode? Or will they always stay suspended in the air?

[tired root]

I think they have no stability checks. I had to destroy the middle tower manually with battering ram from bottom to top for fortress I decided to place my outpost in.

[misty sage]

So I could technically dig under that tower and put a Portal under the impervious build?

[tired root]

I mean, you can ||dig under the wall to get inside the middle tower|| at least, so you can put portal inside that.

[misty sage]

Already knocked a hole in the side of the tower

[tired root]

You could level the ground inside with pickaxe to make flat space for the portal.

I made a base out of one fortress and it is my safety place in Ashlands.

[misty sage]

That's my plan. The walls are too high for most enemies but the concern is that a ||Valkyrie|| could show up and destroy everything. A ||Valkyrie||-proof base is the end goal cause I've had too many tower bases get destroyed.

[tired root]

My base is quite ||Valkyrie|| proof. I might have shown it somewhere, wait a second.

Here: #memes-and-clips message

[misty sage]

Also is there any way to have an effective ||Asksvin|| defense force? The lack of a Stay command led to two of them running off into the distance. As for the one that stayed, an enemy raid happened and it blew a hole in one of my buildings while it was attacking.

[tired root]

Do you mean in your main base outside Ashlands? I haven't used them for that purpose, I have them in a pen I built. But maybe digging a moat around your base so they cannot attack near buildings?

[misty sage]

Yeah main base. I was afraid of their hitboxes but it was definitely worse than I expected. And the two that ran off are in a Meadow so they should live forever.

[tired root]

They have quite wide aggro range which is why they go quite far away.

[misty sage]

Makes me miss the wolf leash in Minecraft

[tired root]

Yeah, hopefully we get something to take better control over tamed animals. But you can craft a saddle and ride them back to your base.

[misty sage]

Yeah I can't even see them anymore so I figure I'll be exploring and find them among a mound of corpses

[tired root]

They might be in the border of active area so they stay on their place until you approach them.

[edgy spade]

do vultures get scared by standing torches

[tired root]

Seemingly.

[edgy spade]

ty

[desert monolith]

any fire source, so standing torches are OP cause they dont go out in wind/rain, but still work.

But forges (active), bonfire, braziers etc - all of it counts

[grave lodge]

Can boars eat yellow mushrooms?

[cedar lodge]

nope, just regular red ones

and onion, turnips, carrots, blueberries and raspberries... i think tht's all

[grave lodge]

aw heck! good to know though! ty ^^

[cedar lodge]

yellow mushroom surplus eh😁 ? i usually stop picking them up after i got a couple stacks for early meads, but they make a nice decoration with a bit of lightsource if you place them around with serving tray

[tired root]

Onions too.

[cedar lodge]

yep it's the first one in list 😁

[placid basalt]

I use yellow mushrooms like catseyes in the road to light up forest paths

[tired root]

Ugh, forget it. Should get at least some time after waking up from a nap.

[cedar lodge]

eheh no problem i can 100% relate, coffee time!

[tired root]

True! ☕

[cedar lodge]

actually, for realism, boars should eat anything, including meat, bones, cardboard...

[placid basalt]

... and newbie vikings... oh wait, they already do that

[cedar lodge]

it could be an "ecological" alternative to the obliterator for excess materials, hence the expression "as greedy as a pig" (quoted)

[placid basalt]

gotta remember to smash all the teeth out first, unless you wanna go digging about in pig sh*t afterwards

[grave lodge]

Does enabling dev commands permanantly change anything on a save? I've encountered a bit of a softlock with mods and i need to enable commands to fix it

[compact heath]

gives your character the cheater stat, so maybe when 1.0 comes out with achievements that might matter? apart from that nothing really

[still pine]

How do you farm soft tissue

[subtle parrot]

Find jotun skulls

[tired root]

Petrified skulls around Mistlands, boxes in Dvergr towers and camps (also in abandoned ones), also inside ||putrid holes|| in ||Ashlands||.

[still pine]

Thanks

Oh cool i didnt know dvergr dropped tissue

I wonder if i can make a spawn farm for them

[karmic hearth]

Not really and it doesn't amass to much from them. Skulls are by far your most plentiful source

[grave lodge]

What is invalid about this placement? I've renovated half my house to make room but it still says invalid

edit: I destroyed and re-placed the hearth in the exact same spot and it just seems to work now

[still pine]

Aye okay, was just wondering what spawners i could farm stuff off of in the mistlands

[desert monolith]

i dont think devcommands itself gives the cheat status? Because you can enable it in the main menu - but anything you use in game I think does

it also persists across chars/worlds - it is the only "game session" command I think

[fringe mirage]

Is it possible to back up saves from the local file system? Just incase I die and need to reload? I see there are historical saves but those look like world saves rather than player. I might be missing something.

[desert monolith]

turn off cloud saves and it'll be local instead of on steam

[fringe mirage]

Then I can use a script or something to make backups every so often

[desert monolith]

the game already does it - cant remember how many - but its more than a few

[fringe mirage]

It says 8 but it seems like it only does it when sleeping maybe

[desert monolith]

valhiem isnt designed to "Save scrum" where if you die you reload your character - because the world will still be progressing - i.e. your old character tombstone would still be there, and it'll just lead to issues

but for extreme cases you can roll back your world+char if you want

[fringe mirage]

I did some manual saves and it seems like it only kept the most recent one

[coral hedge]

I have a strange issue: my Mead Ketill gets randomly dismantled in my house. I find the materials in the fire, and I need to reassemble it. I haven't figured out a cause yet XD
Anyone else have this?

[misty sage]

Maybe failing a stability check somehow? Or taking a weird form of chip damage?

After you build it, change your Hammer to Repair and hover over it. Check what color it is and also watch to see if it's taking damage.

Enemies with big attacks could be hitting it through a wall but I feel like more stuff would break than just the kettle.

[lilac coyote]

Outdated mods.

[viscid junco]

Somewhere my math went wrong and now I need help. A troll slap does like 150 damage. According to some reddit post on parry force and what not, parry is successful if attack does less damage than block armor * parry bonus.

My block armor is 30 and my parry bonus is 2.5. that should result in 75 damage or less attacks. I finally mustered the courage to try and parry troll, (non stick slap attack only because I was so nervous), and it barely even TICKLED the posture break bar thingy

Are there factors that I should've considered, like armor, or is my knowledge just outright wrong???

[tired root]

There is a pinned spreadsheet in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202177337328934973 that explains things regarding blocking and parrying mechanics.

[true steeple]

The reddit post you saw was entirely wrong.
Here's how armor reduces damage: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor
Your stagger limit is 40% so if the remaining damage (excluding frost, fire and poison) is more than 40% of your max health the parry will fail.

[viscid junco]

Is that remaining damage calculated after what's mitigated by block armor or is block armor entirely separate, mattering only for what damage slips through?

[true steeple]

Block armor is used to reduce damage before applying the stagger which can make the block fail. After that, regular armor is applied and remaining damage is dealt, which can cause you to stagger on a successful block.

[viscid junco]

Thank you

[steep tusk]

There is a blocking spreadsheet pinned in #valheim-chat with a very thorough readme section that explains.

It also automatically calculates the HP needed to parry anything after you tell it your skill level and which shield @viscid junco

So you don't have to do the math 😉

-# Because I spent like 3 weeks setting up the sheet to do the math for you 😭

[coral hedge]

I hadn't considered using the Hammer to check stability, but I noticed my Pots were hanging right above it. I've moved those, and will continue to investigate...
I do leave my door open a lot... maybe a Grey hate just the Ketill?

[viscid junco]

Was it worth it?

[steep tusk]

If you use it and it helps you, yes.

[lilac coyote]

It's helped hundreds if not thousands.

[vapid glade]

There's a similar problem.As soon as you enter the game, this error does not occur. It was not possible to download playfab. This is necessary to use cross-play. This usually happens because you do not have c++ packages installed. We've tried everything.We checked it in Steam.Reinstalling windows c++ packages does not help anything.

[jagged oracle]

I have a little question, does anyone know how to recognize rocky on a french game ? I mean, in english it's rock instead of stone, someone know what's the equivalent in french game ?

[frosty frost]

Well, presumably you would know better than most of us 😅

[true steeple]

The rocks look very different to stones. You will notice the different look before the different name.

[jagged oracle]

I know that's weird x)) but for me it would be pierre for both english word, maybe rocher but I'm not sure and afaik there are other french gamers here that maybe would already know 🤷‍♀️

[jagged oracle]

ok thanks !

[misty sage]

I believe the aggro rules follow a strict priority of Player then Crafting object (Workbench, Forge, Kettle, Cauldron, etc) then other player builds. Not sure if the different Crafting objects have different priority levels.

So it is very possible that they go after it when they can't find you.

Try keeping your doors closed and see if that fixes it?

[coral hedge]

I was half kidding - it's fairly far into the house, and right beside a Cauldron and all it's upgrades.
I'm pretty sure it's the Pots and Pans hanging overhead. I've moved them, and will report back if I still find mats in the fire XD

[hasty forge]

Is there a way to turn on godmode so i can recover materials? Gf just set us back about 8 hours if not

[topaz igloo]

If you have console commands on yes, if not, no you can’t

[hasty forge]

what do i type for console commands to get godmode

[hollow monolith]

devcommands
god

[hasty forge]

thx

Does Godmode allow you to build anything you want? Apologies but im not on my pc at the moment and id like to know before i boot it back up lmao

[supple panther]

god just makes you immortal.

If you want to build without resource cost, then use the nocost command, or change world modifiers.

[hollow monolith]

nocost also removes limits on building (prerequisites), and gives you all recipes

[versed yoke]

why he sad????

[true steeple]

The face is random. It will change eventually.

[deft coral]

is there any command to spawn rocky ?

[true steeple]

Spawn stonerock

[alpine tapir]

what are the risks of running HSS as compared to HHS in biomes you are 1-2 biomes head of in terms of gear/mead/food?

[true steeple]

Do you mean it’s a biome you’ve progressed through or a biome you shouldn’t be in yet?
Assuming you mean the second option, it’s only risky if you let yourself get hit

[viral cave]

One hit and you're basically dead.

[alpine tapir]

the former, I am just wanting to make sure I am not missing anything important before opting for more stamina in biomes i'm already set good for.

[viral cave]

I run HSS all the time even when I'm not progressed ahead by a biome

[true steeple]

One health food, one stamina food and one balanced food is also viable now thanks to feasts

[alpine tapir]

I was trying that last night, perf

[viral cave]

If you're better at fighting with low stamina regen, go HHS. If you're better at timing dodge rolls, go HSS. If you're a fucking goofnugget, go HHH, SSS, HH, SS, HS, H, S, or bukeperries.

[true steeple]

Use bukeperries and an unhealthy amount of meads to change your diet to what you need in every situation

Enemies approaching? Vomit, eat health food, drink meads to refill your bars, fight them, then repeat to switch back to stamina food

[viral cave]

That's giving serious new game+ SSG defeat bonemass speedrun vibes

[true steeple]

Why beat Bonemass if you can become Bonemass instead?

[viral cave]

For those who haven't watched the speedrun, ||the current world record eats bukeperries mid-catapult flight and it's really goofy||

[alpine tapir]

what about 3 feasts for maximum goofball mode?

[viral cave]

Hell yeah brotha

[alpine tapir]

wait, there's catapults in this game???

[true steeple]

Yes, you unlock them in ashlands

[alpine tapir]

welp, time to find nearest ashlands biome

[true steeple]

Ashlands only generates on the south edge of the world

[alpine tapir]

does that mean if I explore only south (down) I can still get deep north biome later?

[true steeple]

It would be very hard to generate all of the deep north early unless you’re trying to, so don’t worry about not getting it.

[alpine tapir]

yeah I just don't wanna miss out and have to make a new world.

[viral cave]

Avoid the upper 1/7-1/8 of the world and you should be fine.

[desert monolith]

I got a new version coming soon thats even slightly more goofy 😉

[viral cave]

ayo?

[desert monolith]

I dont know what "ayo" means sorry

[viral cave]

Variant of the interjection "yo"

[hasty forge]

Is there a command to let me spawn an item(s)?

[desert monolith]

spawn {itemname} {qty-optional} {quality-optional}

[alpine tapir]

is there an upper limit to how much silver I will feasibly need, or do you need it for stuff around bases and hypothetically can always run out, like with iron?

I have almost 300 bars laying around I wana know if I need more than 500-600

[clever juniper]

Do you already have all of the silver weapons/armor that you want?

[alpine tapir]

I'm about to.

[clever juniper]

Once you are done, there aren't many items that need silver and nothing for base building like iron. 100 or so after you build what you want initially should be plenty

[steep tusk]

Cauldron upgrade is the only "needed" thing.
Silver Sword is a very good investment.

Beyond that... meh.

[alpine tapir]

I guess I'll use the leftover silver from fully upgraded silver everything to make a nice silver sword wall hanger.

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword is BiS vs. Yagluth and does fucking work during Ashlands first contact.

[alpine tapir]

ok

[versed yoke]

What about the silver sledgehammer

[steep tusk]

Not a real thing.

[clever juniper]

*frostner

[steep tusk]

Is not a sledgehammer.

[alpine tapir]

it's a fancy club

[clever juniper]

true, but it feels safe to assume that is what he meant

[steep tusk]

No. Given sledgehammers are an established term in Valheim for 2-handed, AoE weapons.

[clever juniper]

and which of those are made of silver?

[steep tusk]

None, hence it is not a real thing.

Stagbreaker -> Iron Sledge -> Demolisher is the current sledgehammer progression.

[clever juniper]

exactly, closest thing to a sledge hammer made out of silver

[steep tusk]

Is nothing, because there is not one.

[clever juniper]

[versed yoke]

No

[steep tusk]

BOOYA

Score one for those of us who don't make assumptions.

[versed yoke]

Doesn't it take like some silver ore, wolf fangs, a cultist trophy, and ancient bark?

[steep tusk]

There is no silver sledgehammer.

[versed yoke]

Huh

There's a bronze one

[steep tusk]

No.

Unless this is the part where you say "I play with mods that change the game"

[versed yoke]

"I play with mods that change the game"

[steep tusk]

Then what you're talking about goes in #mods-discussion

Because neither of those things exist in the game unless you modify it.

[versed yoke]

ok

[compact heath]

Yeah there is no bronze or silver sledgehammers, mod stuff goes in the other channel, this is just for the unmodded game help

there is a lot of 1h hammers though, maces/clubs they are called but they are not sledgehammers

[frail cave]

Hoe do I turn of the gui?

Question - Would using the revealmap devcommand screw up future deep north adventures on this world?

[true steeple]

No. It only reveals the map texture which is drawn when the world is created. It doesn’t load any unexplored areas.

[karmic hearth]

You could also upload your map to https://valheim-map.world/ if you're worried about screwing up your world/save file.

[drifting pasture]

hi. what arrow is best against moder? what is her weakness

[true steeple]

Obsidian arrows are best

She is weak to fire but the fire arrows don't deal enough damage even with that weakness

[drifting pasture]

thanks

[still pine]

What would be the best armor for general loot gathering in the swamp, like bloodbags

[buoyant peak]

root set

[still pine]

Thanks

[still pine]

Is the carapace spear the best spear or is there another metal tier above that

Ahh nvm there is

[fringe mirage]

Is it normal that all the swamp I find are just slivers within black forest?

[primal galleon]

No, that sounds like bad luck

Try looking further away from the world center. You can usually spot them from a distance on a ship because they have a very low elevation

[fringe mirage]

It does look cool on the map but yea, sounds like bad luck. I'll keep on looking

[white beacon]

i have a bug that when i put food inthe oven it takes more but gives less

[drifting pasture]

im trying to enter a burial chamber but i get kicked out and it says blocked?

[jagged oracle]

guys, isn't event supposed to happen only AFTER defeated the corresponding boss ? I have a swamp event while I didn't kill Bonemass 😅 I'm not ready for that XD

[drifting pasture]

i think its to the level of your upcoming boss

greydwarfs to elder, draugr to bone etc

[jagged oracle]

normally isn't it after putting a boss head on the spawn ?

[drifting pasture]

i dont think so

[molten mountain]

after defeating the Elder, the Bonemass raid of skeletons and draugrs unlocks. The head doesn't need to be mounted at spawn

[jagged oracle]

I understood it wrong then, lucky me that I have some block skills x)

[drifting pasture]

anyone experienced not being allowed to enter a burial chamber? screen goes to black like normal then i appear outside again and in yellow text "blocked"

[jagged oracle]

and no sorry I've never seen that

[drifting pasture]

thanks anyway. since this one wouldnt let me imma just use fly to move to a diffrent burial chamber. if the game for some reason dosnt do what its supposed to i wont eitehr

[undone hamlet]

hey all, im noob ok, im trying to 'pop' this whole rock ive gone all around it and under, removed all trees etc and it wont pop is there a 'size' limit to pop a rock / ore? thankyou

[drifting pasture]

ive only had copper pop once and i have no idea why. while silver is alot easier to do so with

[jagged oracle]

maybe it's a generation issue ? like you know when inside a chamber there are rocks instead of a door

[drifting pasture]

it could be. if so thats incredibly unfortunate. not a big issue tho just need some cores for portal

[undone hamlet]

yeah ive done with silver and sometimes copper works too, first time trying a rock

[jagged oracle]

try pushing the ground a little further from the rock

[drifting pasture]

oh i thought that was copper. no idea how rocks work

[jagged oracle]

sometime it's enough

[drifting pasture]

just know the plains pillar explode

[jagged oracle]

I think from your 2nd picture that the ground is stille a little too close

[undone hamlet]

ahh ok, ill go deeper thankyou

[drifting pasture]

if not the only solution is to listen to Wind rose and mine mine mine

[jagged oracle]

and under it usually I make sure that my pickaxe can't hit a single piece of it

[undone hamlet]

been mining around it for about 40 irl mins! at this point im thinking maybe thewhole process is useless and just mine it from top down haha

[jagged oracle]

aaaaand, sometimes there is a little tiny piece of rock in the ground that you haven't see, a little triangle that pop up

[drifting pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/dwarf-dig-diggy-diggy-diggy-hole-gif-24120660

[weary robin]

I once had a chunk of black marble supported by a tree barely touching one of the corners

[drifting pasture]

i imagine one unlucky troll hit and the entire base crumbling

[molten mountain]

the bounding box of rocks/beins is a fair bit larger than what you see visually. You might just need more space between the rock and the surrounding ground 🙂

[undone hamlet]

thankyou

[topaz verge]

how do i repair my stone axe? i just drop it when i move it to repair section

[frosty frost]

Go to workbench and look at the left side of the crafting menu 🙂

[viral cave]

Rare justified use of cheats imo

[viral cave]

Copper is incredibly weird to pop. The bounding box for the support check is extremely unintuitive and requires mods to isolate consistently. You can often pop it in chunks by mining out parts of it and separating the blob into chunks.

[hollow monolith]

[sullen hollow]

[barren seal]

How challenging is this actually? for plains gear

From the Hildir quest

[buoyant peak]

you're overgeared

[barren seal]

So like 0% chance dying cuz I have a long boat near me and I am very fan with no portal

[buoyant peak]

it's a swamps-tier/level dungeon

[barren seal]

Alr thx

[versed yoke]

Just a burial chamber with a skeleton that has extra health

[topaz verge]

what does lvling up weapon skills do, like bow?? do i simply do more dmg, or ?

[versed yoke]

Bow increases damage and draw speed

[mental igloo]

Hello guys, could some of you help me to find a command for console so that I can increase amount of enemies being alive in world around me

[topaz igloo]

Most is weapon dmg + decreased stamina usage some decrease the durability used per hit, bows increase draw speed

[steep tusk]

++Damage
--Stamina Cost Per Swing/Shot

Bows are overpowered AF because they also get:
++AttackSpeed

THAT BEING SAID: Game is balanced around you not having skills, they are literally free stats.
So do not be afraid to try out a new weapon "because I have higher skills in something else".
Find the weapon that you enjoy the most and use it. Levels will automatically come because you get points-per-hit.

(Though when you do find something you want to "main", there are ways to focus level it faster)

[mental igloo]

How do I know what is creature spawn limit on my world?

[desert monolith]

The spawn mechanics are different for each mob type. I don’t think there are any console commands to have more spawn naturally. You can spawn them manually. Or use a mod that makes more spawn more often.

Best option is probably bump the difficulty higher if yo think it’s too easy.

[delicate ocean]

Is there a mod that adds cake or an overhaul to baking?

[desert monolith]

Ask in #mods-discussion

[delicate ocean]

oops

[desert monolith]

All good. You’ll get an answer there.

[naive atlas]

For bows, you deal more damage, charge quicker, and consume less stamina.

For melee weapons it's just damage and stamina consumption i think

Running, jumping, sneaking: consume less stamina

And similar

[true steeple]

Run and jump skills increase run speed and jump height

[timid dragon]

I found my first maypole in game but I cannot build one. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

[tired root]

They can be found rarely in some seeds but they become buildable during Midsummer Eve (around late June to early July).

[timid dragon]

Should I still see them in build menu though? Or do they not even show up?

[tired root]

They become buildable during the time I mentioned. So if you accidentally break the one you found you cannot build another yet.

[timid dragon]

Dang which is exactly what I did. I broke it thinking I was gonna get parts to build one.

[tired root]

Ouch. 🥲

[timid dragon]

Thank you

[tired root]

No problem. I think their requirements are wood, dandelion and thistle iirc. So when the time comes you will get the recipe automatically.

[desert monolith]

if your doing single player, you could spawn one back in with devcommands, since you had a legitimate misunderstanding of the mechanics of the game. Some people dont like that idea, some do. You do you.

[vapid kindle]

I am new to the game was wondering if I could play with someone in your world

[desert monolith]

sure - asking in #1024264966712340510 will find other people to play with

[vapid kindle]

Ok

[tired root]

That is true. However, it's here in 1 month.

[stray locust]

Is it worth building the obliterator? From what I read it converts items into coal. Anything more than that?

[stoic trench]

I’d say it’s worth it, but far from necessary. It’s kind of a convenience thing.

[desert monolith]

its a nice way to get rid of excess items you know you dont need - the coal is a bonus

[timid dragon]

oh thats a brilliant idea, thank you

[viral cave]

If you stockpile all the trophies you get, you can get a fair amount of coal

[alpine tapir]

uhhh why/how is this silver vein still alive?

is there still ground inside it I can't see?

[frail cave]

have you broken a piece of it after excavating it yet?

[alpine tapir]

I just did and it took off a massive chunk, but not all of it.

had to drop down a workbench to pillar back up to it.

[frail cave]

silver veins are normally pretty generous with this so I'm not sure what to suggest other than to keep breaking the parts closest to the walls

[desert monolith]

once its floating full, popping one silver node is usually enough, especially a center node

[alpine tapir]

I had to do 2 or 3, but I think that's just because mesh layer (the layer of ground you can't mine below) is too close to it.

[sullen hollow]

Man did you try to remove the building bench under it i had the problem before it was because of the bench

[alpine tapir]

yeah it was floating before I put the bench down, I got the chunk off the end and I was standing on it so it fell down.

You can also look here for what other skills do 🙂

[static heart]

Oh I actually didn't know the game was balanced around L1 skills. That's really good to know, I haven't yet tried magic weapons (early game) but found it weird they're late game when you'd have low skill levels.

[frosty frost]

Magic is quite op even at very low levels 🙂 it just gets stronger and stronger as you level up

[tired root]

Yep, can confirm, they are indeed strong. Makes ||Ashlands|| a breeze.
Been playing around with ||Ashlands|| mage stuff while looking for as many infested mines in Mistlands as possible and ||Fracturing staff|| has been very OP against them mobs.

||Dundr|| has been very fun tool inside them too. My only pet peeve is that the ||lightning damage cannot break the vines inside||.

[frail cave]
