[patent sluice]

i tried reading the previous concerns here and still the same solutions

we diodnt use mods

[ornate finch]

How does your installation folder look like?
What PC specs do you have?

[spring frigate]

does yagluth does any physical attacks? because i wanna yolo in fight with him with berserker mead and iirc he doesnt do anything but elemental attacks, no?

[frosty frost]

Nope, only the aoe blast around him, the laser and meteors

[spring frigate]

so considering i wont get backstabbed by anything, berserker mead has no negative effects againts him?

oh wait i cant read >.<

[patent sluice]

Here's my friends pc specs and folder

[ornate finch]

Does the laptop have a dedicated GPU? (check by going to start → type and open "dxdiag" → Display)

Recently we had another user with similar HP laptop, but it also had a dedicated GPU (not just iGPU that comes integrated into CPU), and their crashes got resolved after updating BIOS, so you should probably do the same.

[worn barn]

Can find plains boss without finding the vegvirsir first? I know they're located at 'Stonehenge' but those are scarce too.

[jade rapids]

Yes, you can find any boss at random

[tacit breach]

They are always on or near a coast line, so sailing is usually the fastest way I have found Yag.

Not this time, though. Found a stone first.

[tired root]

The stone formations of the boss altar is noticeably different to the stone pillars that are scattered around the plains.

[tacit breach]

Yeah, they look like claws coming up out of the ground.

[worn barn]

👍

[frail cave]

thoughts on replacing helmet with eiter hood and one of either my chest peice or legs for fenrir replacement??

[frosty frost]

Dont change helmet, thats the one piece that does not have movement penalty

[frail cave]

Oo ok

So i gotta change chest or legs to eiter and fenrir coo coo, does it matter which i do for that

[frosty frost]

Not really

Just go with what looks better

[frail cave]

Okay sweet, I'm just learning about mixing armor sets i feel so late to the party

Didn't know I could have armor and speed and eitir regen all at once

[frosty frost]

I dont really like to do that 😄 but thats more because i like the look of complete sets

[frail cave]

The only complete set i like so far for looks is fenrir

With feather or wolf cape both go hard

The blue ashlands armor looks sick too tho

[tacit breach]

The Root armor does look best when its worn as a full set,

[frail cave]

I dont like the root armor ngl I found it useless and ugly

[frosty frost]

100% not useless 😄 and if its ugly, thats personal taste 😄

[tacit breach]

I agree it looks ugly, but I think that is the point of how it looks. Its to be scary..

[frail cave]

The mask looks cool thats it

But posion meads work better

And deathsquitos are easily dodge able in plains not to mention they are 1 shot with any weapon and can be taken out with bow from a far

[frosty frost]

The pierce resist is op as heck 😄

[frail cave]

I agree but its not needed

[frosty frost]

Yep

[tacit breach]

Especially if you also do the Serpent Shield.

[frail cave]

Any sheild bro

[cedar lodge]

heh it's hard to choose what full set is best looking, Fenris is good, but also Root, Iron is still my fav for heavies but i still have to look at flametal in detail... still i mix sets a lot, i like that as well

[tacit breach]

Serpent Shield stacks its pierce resistance.

[frail cave]

I lost my serpent sheild and use blackmetal tower now

[frosty frost]

Yep, the only resistance that stacks 😄

[frail cave]

But I dont use it nearly as much as I used to

[tacit breach]

So those fuling spear chuckers? 😄

[frail cave]

Fulings get ripped apart with magic staffs

Can't get near me anymore, or use an atgier

[frosty frost]

Well thats going back a biome tho

[frail cave]

I remember when I 1st got to plains with full fenrir set a sword and sheild lmfao

I made it work tho, drauger fang was nice for camps just raise the earth and they cant do anything

The fenrir set speed boost was so helpful vs the fulings too cuz those mfs speedy

[tired root]

It's fun tho to burn down those villages with Ember staff. 🔥🔥

[frosty frost]

I am not saying its not 😄

[tired root]

Fuling villages end up to be target practices for testing out new toys always.

[frail cave]

Facts

Nothing in plains biome can handle staff of embers

[cedar lodge]

ok, i can't continue avoiding magic in fire hazards playtru, gonna just craft a little staff and go back to plains for huge amounts of fun (and relaxation, my neck nerves hurt after today)

[frail cave]

When do u unlock new portal

Stone portal

[cedar lodge]

gotta wait for the next biome

[frail cave]

Ah dangit

Ah I need molten cores and whatever grausten is

[cedar lodge]

you don't have to wait too much i unlocked it today for the first time and i was just arrived, dunno if i was particularly lucky tho

[frail cave]

Interesting, molten cores are in forts yeah?

[tired root]

Also in ||putrid holes||.

[cedar lodge]

didn't even se a fortress from afar

[frail cave]

Oh okay

I think we are gonna fight the queen the next time we get on or time after that

Once I get staff of protection

[worn barn]

Wait like the Growth Claws next to tar pits or bigger stone claws?

[frosty frost]

Imagine the stone pillars but curved like fingers

[frail cave]

And has a stone circle tablet in the middle

The palm if you will

[tired root]

I won't.

-# Kidding.

[tacit breach]

Yes, like Asatru said. Sorry, I went upstairs to put together my game room. Lots of shelves to assemble and fill.

[hearty vortex]

Is there a way to know when planting something it will grow not to waste time/resources? I keep planting crops too close or incorrectly somehow and they never grow but I lose seeds

[worn barn]

Carrots/turnips/onions need to be about 1m apart (between stems)

Trees need to be about 3m apart

You can use 1m wooden beams/flooring to get the spacing right until you've got the hang of ti

[hearty vortex]

Thanks

[frail cave]

Ok so summer is almost over and I havnt seen the maypole in my hammer yet what am I missing

[lilac coyote]

The midsummer event ended on July 6.

[frail cave]

Bruh huh

[lilac coyote]

It runs from June 1 to July 6 every year.

[frosty frost]

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

[frail cave]

Summer is longer than 1 month wtf

[frosty frost]

But the event is only in that timeframe 🙂

[frail cave]

Nothing online speaks about any seasonal items having time frames besides being in the season required that may be the stupidest thing ive heard yet

[frosty frost]

I did link you the wiki...

[frail cave]

I see that ty

[frosty frost]

Where online were you looking?

[frail cave]

I watch youtube videos on valheim all the time they are mentioned a ton in most videos especially any that rank rare items

But not 1 mentions 4 week time limits

[frosty frost]

Well... Its not surprising really, youtubers dont often provide precise info

[frail cave]

Also on that note why youtubers think 100-250 days in valheim means squat lmfao 😭

[frosty frost]

Ask them 😄

[lilac coyote]

150-200 days is what, Swamps? Plains?

[frail cave]

They dont respond, by far the dumbest yt videos for this game ive seen are any of those ones, my world is over 400 days and I dont feel like we've accomplished anything out of the ordinary lmfao

[frail cave]

Just valheim all together tons of yt ppl have videos like that

[lilac coyote]

Doesn't really matter how slow or fast other people play the game.

[frail cave]

They post videos on youtube saying "surviving 100 days in valheim" and in my mind I'm like okay so you beat the black forest boss cool

Idk just confuses me thought yall may know sum i don't about it

[frosty frost]

Meh, most of the "surviving X number something in something" videos are usually trash.

[frail cave]

Yeah i dont see how 100 days in valheim is something to get all psyched up about unless ur doing a challenge like no map and portals or magic only or sum

[strong cape]

ingame days, pointless. i think there was one video where they played every day for 100 days maybe? actual acomplishment

[frail cave]

But otherwise thats what 2 maybe 3 biomes

[frail cave]

That would be better but most of em mean in game days

[frosty frost]

You can just box yourself between 4 walls, plop roof on top and you can survive indefinetly

[frail cave]

Yeah literally lmfao, those videos dont make any sense to me

Now I survived 1000 days in valheim may be entertaining

100, no

[strong cape]

or you can make a club and just stand at the temple. not like anything that early is going to defeat you

[frosty frost]

But then you have to do something 😄

[frail cave]

I just feel like 100 in game days ur not getting past black forest and if u do probly not gonna get past moder

[frosty frost]

Box good, box safe

[frail cave]

Just such a short amount of time not much of the game is shown

The good part dont even start till u beat moder

[strong cape]

i feel like it depends how much time you spend building but i would expect into the swamp or mountains by then

[frail cave]

Swamp yeah maybe

There's not enough videos on valheim that show gameplay past the swamp unless its a biome guide or sum

How many years has mistlands been out?

[frosty frost]

3 this december i believe

[frail cave]

ok so dont watch anything over 3ys old

[vagrant merlin]

wdym?

I think it really depends on how hard u grind towards getting the "story" done. and also how many people u play with. We have like a 4 player group and have silver gear (mountain), and havent hit 100 days yet

u said u were only playing with one other person so that might be why its a bit slower

ig it also depends on how cautiously u play

[frosty frost]

This really differs from person to person, someone might be already done with queen at day 100 and someone might just be getting to elder

[vagrant merlin]

Yea thats what i mean, it depends on if ur solo or with 9 other people

and how cautious u are, like we killed elder about 10 min after we got bronze gear lol

[frosty frost]

Doesent matter much if you play with group or not

[vagrant merlin]

it very much does if ur trying to ge tpast bosses, we killed bonemass in like 2 minutes with all our people

more people = more damage

[frosty frost]

Yes, but we are not talking about boss kill time, we are talking about time spent on progression

[vagrant merlin]

oh well yea

i was just referring to them saying ur not going to get past black forest by day 100

[frosty frost]

You dont have to be past BF on day 100, that is correct, some people just like taking their time 🙂

[vagrant merlin]

I agree

i mean its my first playthrough as well so i enjoy taking my time, but I wanted Iron gear, so we kinda rushed thru the bronze age

ig it also helped that my friend are more experienced

[umbral depot]

First time playing the game we beat the gane on day 114 (all bosses up to the final biome at the time)(mistlands)

[lilac coyote]

More people = stronger boss

[frail cave]

For anyone wondering how to hide from draugrs see #screenshots

[unkempt spire]

Taming lox just to have them anihlated by 1st nightfall fueling 1Star brigades

[vagrant merlin]

oh does it? i thought that was a setting

oh wait that for raids

[rough kernel]

No that is in general enemy health/damage scale per player within 100m at a max cap at 5 I think for vanilla

[vagrant merlin]

ahhh

[formal sentinel]

Do stone floors act as roofs as well I’d like to convert this small area under some stone floors into some sort of room I’m not sure yet

[tired root]

Yes, they count as much cover as roof pieces.

[short yew]

is this safe house too close to the swamp?

[tired notch]

Nah ur good

[pure mango]

Will two eiter refineries side by side damage each other?

[frosty frost]

Nope, they are immune to the dmg they are causing.

[tepid linden]

Just like a toxic ex-spouse

[narrow lodge]

guys i copied my valheim character files from xbox app, how do i put them into steam? i dont want to lose my weapons and map info

[regal wedge]

Does anyone actually make bronze armor? Comparing it to troll hide, it's only a 16.6% armor increase but it reduces speed by 10% and you get the sneaky bonus with troll hide. Is there a benefit to bronze armor I'm not understanding?

It also costs a ton of bronze which is a time consuming material to make

[narrow lodge]

i made bronze armor since i didnt find no trolls wandering the woods

[regal wedge]

Right but assuming you have full access to trolls and full access to bronze, I would assume most would pick trollhide and not bother with bronze

[narrow lodge]

unless you find the bronze more drippy

[pure mango]

The general consensus is its not worth it. Go with troll armor and save your copper for other things.

[regal wedge]

Much appreciated. It did seem that way but I was thinking maybe there was a reason bronze was better than it appeared but I guess not

[narrow lodge]

yeah there isnt too much of a difference you would see in bronze, and light armor is usually better

[pure mango]

Dont make the mistake I did, build yourself a cauldron and the stuff for making mead, decent food and meads will be a big help.

[short yew]

what are these?

[narrow lodge]

guck

[short yew]

how to.. guck??

[narrow lodge]

do you want spoilers or nah?

[pure mango]

Get yourself Bronze Atgeir too, that will be a big help with fighting groups of grey dawarfs.

[pure mango]

Personally I never had to take any off trees, I got plenty from other sources.

[regal wedge]

Thanks, I wasn't sure when I should start doing mead. Not sure what you mean by good food but I'm sure I'll figure it out

[narrow lodge]

you can use it to craft some stuff i wont tell what unless you want spoilers

[pure mango]

The food you make with the cauldron is much better.
Meads at this point are a great panic button, they can give you a quick boost of health or stamina in an emergency.

[regal wedge]

The Neck Boar and Deer meat seems to still be pretty relevant, at least for the moment.

I can see them losing that in the near future though

Probably once I find a swamp

[tired root]

Would be better to make better foods available in black forest, after finding carrot seeds and making cauldron. 3 HP foods leave you very little stamina to survive.

[regal wedge]

yeah I've been using the meats for when I expect fighting and stuff like the local berries and honey for when I plan to build or gather resources

[tired root]

Have you found any carrot seeds?

[regal wedge]

Having foods that do both or even just do it better and last longer will probably make a much bigger difference and likely be near necessary in the swamp

yeah I got a stack of like 50. I'm currently building a huge base and I got a plot set out for a garden

[tired root]

Good, I recommend planting them asap, then regrow some carrots for more seeds and use some to make better HP foods. Food upgrades are one of the most important things to do.

[short yew]

spoil me

[tired root]

You can get it from ||abominations||.

[short yew]

WHAT IS THIS THING

[tired root]

Just that, another source.

[narrow lodge]

you can make a draugr bow, one of the best imo and some other things dont remember allat

[short yew]

do i need to save draugr trophies

is that bonemasses spawner

[tired root]

Hang one on wall, throw others away or put in obliterator.

[vagrant merlin]

i have a trophy room

theyhre fun

obliterators are fun too tho

[tiny violet]

A draugr elite trophy is a rare drop and needed to make the ||iron sledge, as well as a piece of yemir flesh from the trader.|| It’s an easily missed weapon because of the two uncommon ingredients. But if you like the AOE and crowd control of ||sledge hammers||, it’s worth checking out

@short yew sorry I replied to wrong message

[tired root]

I know that. They asked about the regular one.

[tiny violet]

Sorry I meant to reply to their comment about saving draugr trophies

[tired root]

Alright, no worries. 👍

[short yew]

Should I make iron armor??

[true steeple]

Iron or root armor, whatever you prefer

[tiny violet]

it's a playstyle preference choice. iron armor has more defensive points. but slows movement speed a bit. upgraded troll hide armor or root armor will be faster, but less defensive points

[short yew]

I have fully upgraded troll armor (I may or may not have gotten unlucky with the troll raids)
Do I need to make new armor?

well as far as I can upgrade without the fully upgraded workshop

[tiny violet]

I think level 3 is highest you can get troll armor before Mountains

[short yew]

yeah mine are level 3

[tiny violet]

many people are OK with level 3 troll armor.. but if youre the type who needs a lil more defense, or if you like to venture into Plains a lil early.. then Iron will be more protection

[short yew]

hm ok

[tiny violet]

it's all about how much iron you have available and how long you plan on waiting to move into mountains etc

if it's a first playthrough and you're taking your time, nothing wrong with beefing uop with iron armor. will make the next biome more safer probably. but veterans who speedrun will often skip iron stuff and try to move right onto the next metal as fast as possible

also playstyle.. do you usually eat 2 hp and 1 stam food? or 2 stam foods and 1 hp food?

for 2hp/1stam food players.. probably the heavier armor.
for 2stam/1hp players.. probably the lighter faster armor

[tired root]

Troll armor chest and leggings + iron helmet is my usual go to nowadays in the beginning of mountains. Helmet adds more armor and doesn't slow down either unlike iron chest and greaves.

[short yew]

I usually do 1 balanced ( boar jerky) and then a health (wolf meat) and stamina food (queens jam)

I have a really small mountain next to my base and I was able to (after much pain) get 2 wolves tamed

[tired root]

If you want to use balanced food I recommend feasts over jerkys.

[tiny violet]

if you add up the total stat points, I think you'll find that doing a white fork food decreases your total stat points. I think normally it's best to do 2H1S or 2S1H. the white fork foods are kind of like cheap snacks to keep around the base. imo

[short yew]

ah okay, then what should I use instead?

record for worlds smallest mountain biome?

[tacit breach]

Feasts are literally "balanced". IE equal HP and stamina.

[true steeple]

Try both and continue with your favourite

[tired root]

Yes, but the earliest feasts have more total stats than any jerkys.

[tacit breach]

The only thing to keep in mind is HP directly effects blocking. So when your taking on the powerful stuff...

[tiny violet]

good foods will require some farming and upgraded cauldron station. but for swamp level, sausages/deer stew/turnip stew or carrot soup.. is a good 2H1S option. otherwise for two stams.. sausage/turnipstew/carrot soup... if you dont have those stews and soups then sausages/queens jam/honey maybe.... I forget exactly, but the white forks dont give as many total stat points

if doing Feasts.. I like to do 2 Feasts and 1 Meal to get higher total stat points

[tacit breach]

Yeah, that works well, especially later in game when you can spend time in less dangerous biomes. Just when I am going into the toughest fights, I focus most on HP for blocking purposes. So use my best foods for HP and stamina, heavy on HP.

[next acorn]

Does valheim multiplayer work on xbox?

[tacit breach]

Yeah, via the crossplay setting.

[tired root]

Nowadays I usually save HHS for bosses, then HFF, FFS or even FFF for general exploring.

[next acorn]

How to enable?

[tacit breach]

I do HHS even for the dungeons, or equivalent in Ashlands. Never know when your going to run into 2 stars, etc...

[tacit breach]

Its an option in start up, same place you select servers.

So click it along with the server, etc...

[next acorn]

I dont see it

[tacit breach]

OK, let me start mine up, to see if I can describe it better...

Yeah, you should see it when you get to starting your world, or selecting servers. Its greyed out, so might not be easy to see.

[short yew]

what does this do/

[subtle parrot]

Gives you the abilty to prep foods to be cooked

[tacit breach]

Click on it, its food prep, like fish, etc..

[true steeple]

It won't do much until you progress to plains or find the bog witch

[subtle parrot]

Right trigger

[tired root]

At that point not much but you unlock uncooked foods and feasts for example.

[tacit breach]

It should be there. Is Xbox not supported after all? I thought it was.

Let me check the wiki now.

Yeah, its on X box, so no idea why your not seeing it.

[subtle parrot]

Iirc xbox is always crossplay, but may be remembering incorrectly

[true steeple]

Crossplay is always enabled with xbox

[tacit breach]

It is, but crossplay is not being shown to him

Oh, always, so no need to select. gotcha.

So he should only need to select server, provide join code, probably a password, and then they should be on.

[next acorn]

My friend gets an error when joining

[tacit breach]

He is the one on Xbox?

[next acorn]

Me and him are on xbox

[tacit breach]

He is getting the join code, doing the password correctly, etc...?

[next acorn]

Yes

He cant add my server on the browser

[tacit breach]

#xbox-bugs-discussion channel is likely a better place to ask about this.

[short yew]

is it better to make a long boat if I have a karve?

[true steeple]

The longship is faster and can hold more items

[tacit breach]

Yeah, the Karve I only find better when I want to explore the rivers as well, to try and find shorter routes for repeated trips. So unless you have a need like that, longship all the way.

[short yew]

why doesnt the entrails summon bone mass

it says "cook their remains" is the remain not entrails??

[true steeple]

Because they're the wrong item. Find something you haven't got any other use for.

[short yew]

OHH are they the ancient bones??

[tacit breach]

Yeah, a different kind of remains.

Yes.

I forget how many, I just take a stack of 10, but its a lot less than that.

You get so many, the number should not be an issue.

[pure mango]

Karve is a placeholder until you get the longship

Longship is awesome, much less likely to capsize or get eaten by the snakey boi

[tacit breach]

Even on the Karve, you should only capsize if your full sail in a bad storm. Plus its terrible at keeping course, so your constantly changing.

[pure mango]

Then eventually you'll get an Ashlands ship, if you like big bulkheads and cannot lie

[tacit breach]

I hate that thing. I only use it to get to Ashlands, then hope I never have to use it again.

[short yew]

it was 10 😭

what are these like, fire geysers??

[tacit breach]

Oh, surtling spawners. Endless coal and cores.

[pure mango]

For reasons only known to myself I'm keeping all my post-Bonemass ancient bones

And wont be answering any further questions

[tacit breach]

Well, I do a lot of things out of habit, guess that is why I always take 10. 😄

[short yew]

why are there draugr in the meadowss

[tiny violet]

draugr village. a rare spawn

[tacit breach]

Because there are. Great locations to set up intestine farms. Or just use the spawners in swamps.

Those buildings are great for learning building. You get to see how to use the more unusual build pieces in game.

[tiny violet]

^^ that is true. my friend and I took over a village and I put my bed in the main buildiong, top of the hill. and I re-built it from the damage after the fight

[short yew]

im so cooked im so cooked theres a 2 star draugr im so so cooked

[tiny violet]

it showed me how to use the inverted roof angles to make like window vents in the roof so you can have a hearth inside in the middle

[true steeple]

If it's melee you can jump its attacks easily

[tacit breach]

As long as you have stamina, and its likely not the only draugr around...

[tiny violet]

hope there is a portal down and you don't die 4 continents away from home

[tacit breach]

😄 Isn't that half the fun of Valheim?

[tiny violet]

lol yeah eventually I learned- when I get off the boat- put down the portal right away. also- dont jump off the boat on an empty stomach.

[tacit breach]

Important viking lessons!

Yeah, I learned the hard way. Played for months before getting on line and getting sound advice for what little I had not figured out.

Fortunately I played enough other survival games to already understand the need for plenty of extra materials.

[short yew]

im so scared right now

[tiny violet]

yeah deaths happen, and even deathloops happen. but with corpse run and no skill drain etc it isn't the end of the world.. the important thing is to minimize the amount of wasted time lol so things like portals and beds are important to remember. making a new ship (maybe you don't have materials for it) and sailing back to your corpse.. and maybe dying again.. is brutal lol

[tacit breach]

A 2 star is no joke. So you should be. Its healthy. I presume since your still alive you either killed it, or got away.

[short yew]

running at maximum speed towards a burial chamber because id rather bonk skeletons then that draugr

[tacit breach]

A sound strategy. Then you can go back on your own terms, and decide how to go about killing it.

[tiny violet]

skeletons first. then that draugr 🫡

[tacit breach]

Hint, get up on the roof tops. Draugr do not make ladders.

They do have arrows, though.

Which is why we have shields. Whichever type you use.

[short yew]

i was able to run back to my swamp safe house and get back to my main base

it is unfortunately, basically the exact same place as my swamp spawn

[tacit breach]

Yeah, those villages do tend to be real close to a swamp. I've often found them right on the border with swamps.

[tiny violet]

mine was in a meadow, next to swamp, at the foot of a mountain also. a couple continents away from home

[short yew]

my spawn islasnd is quite fortunate in its spawns tbh

[tacit breach]

I have a lot of hours in this game, so have found a lot of these villages, they are all at least close to a swamp.

[tiny violet]

bonemass on home island is nice. I got that as well my first world but I didnt even know it until later in the game

[tacit breach]

Yeah, my very first world had all the biomes on the same main continent. So I also discovered the first flier the hard way.

[frosty frost]

Well that is more of a coincidence than anything 😄 there is nothing saying they have to be close to swamp but since at that distance swamps are quite common they often are close to them.

[tacit breach]

Since I did not go out at night, (Solid game given advice) so did not know about the swamp flier until later. 😄

[short yew]

my full spawn island

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I tend to go by experiences over wiki numbers, etc...

But I have a ton of experience, so the wiki is still good for newer players.

I still reference it for various things, like what my fish say to me.

I have a variety of fish trophies up, so wanted to know which one was saying what.

[lapis terrace]

really interesting shape 😮

[drowsy crane]

My wife has these earrings

[short yew]

theres a dark forest inside of my mountain biome

[lilac coyote]

Did you need help with that?

[short yew]

can i build a base in there??

like one thats a safe house from the mountains or is that more dangerous

[frosty frost]

You can build anywhere

[short yew]

What do onions do?

[lilac coyote]

Make some good food.

[wicked sierra]

Make my tummy full

[tacit breach]

Pretty sure I have never seen that before. I might want your world seed just because of all the oddities it has had.

[short yew]

the seed is 12345678 😭

thats the smallest mountain ive ever seen

[tacit breach]

Guess I will find out if each seed generates exactly the same.

[short yew]

I used valheim-seed map to find that little guy

[regal wedge]

Is there a website you can put your seed into that will generate the full map of your seed?

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I've used it in the past. Had one world that did not generate Haldor correctly, so even the seed viewer couldn't help me find him.

[short yew]

Yes i found it when googling Valheim map seed finder

[regal wedge]

interesting....I equal parts both want to look and don't

[frosty frost]

Probably because it was world generated on older version 🙂 in that situation you have to put the world files into the seed viewer

[tacit breach]

It was a fresh generation at the time. Even Winter tried to help me out. We could see where he was SUPPOSED to be, but he wasn't. I eventually found a location, though.

[frosty frost]

Huh, ok then

[tacit breach]

Yeah, Winter had a theory or two as to why the seed viewer was not finding accurate locations. She always does. 😄 I don't recall what they were, though. This was about 3 years ago.

[subtle parrot]

Usually it has to do with game updates shuffling POIs, and if you discovered them on the map but not actually been to the location or near enough to it to load in the location, it can be included in the shuffle, throwing off the map location to the new location

[tacit breach]

POI's may have been part of her theory, but they often are.

[frosty frost]

That would be why the world files would be used

[subtle parrot]

Fair

[tacit breach]

Pretty sure I sent her my files too, but far from certain. Like I said, around 3 years ago.

[frail cave]

Whyd staff get rid of mountain troll

[frosty frost]

What?

[frail cave]

Apparently when game launched in 2018/2021 they had trolls for mountains biome as well and later got rid of them leaving only black forest trolls left

[frosty frost]

We got golems instead of those 🙂

[frail cave]

Coulda had both 😭

Idk i feel like I dont run into mobs as much as I should In frost mountains and I think if they kept the mountain trolls that would have been pretty cool

[lilac coyote]

We'd have two nearly identical mobs.

[frail cave]

Coulda made it a 2nd type of troll yanno there are multiple Grey type mobs and what 4 different skeleton type mobs and 2 different draugr type mods i dont think that would be the issue derek

Almost all mobs in the game already have 1-3 variants

[frosty frost]

Not "troll level" enemies 😉

[frail cave]

Exactly why it woulda been cool and adding another lvl of challenge to the game

And actually yes there are, there is the summonable fire troll as well so there is alrdy 2 trolls coulda made 3rd one a berserker troll or sum cool

[frosty frost]

Troll, Abom, golem, lox... every big enemy has one variant, why would troll specificaly have 2?

[frail cave]

Lox has the askvin variant basically same thing

[frosty frost]

Not naturally spawning

[frail cave]

^naturally spawning

[frosty frost]

Not even close, asksvin is not a troll level enemy

[frail cave]

Sure

[twin trail]

why would my own ballista shoot me?

[frosty frost]

It shoots everything if you dont tell it to shoot only one type of enemy 😄

[twin trail]

found that out the hard way - how can you tell it not to 😂

[frosty frost]

Use trophies 🙂

[lilac coyote]

We have two types of troll. The rock troll and the tree troll

[frosty frost]

Oh, true actually, same with golems

[twin trail]

Im guessing you can only set 1 trophy

[frail cave]

Yeah but they are still basically same troll as in no more difficult to take down than the other one

[twin trail]

Im sure they meant that you would have to put the specific trophy

[lilac coyote]

I think we're having two different conversations, so no.

[frosty frost]

If you put in troll trophy it will target trolls, if you put in drake trophy, it will target drakes 🙂

[frail cave]

So if ur in ashlands u rlly dont wanna equip a trophy do u

To many mob types coming in at once would make that kinda useless unless u let it target everything and just kite them around

[pure mango]

If I clear a charred fortress by breaching the walls, doesnt that make that fortress disadvantaged to move into as a base because it will have a gap in the mostly invulnerable blocks, even after I fill them back in with grausten?

I dont know if the mobs are clever enough to go for the weakest link maybe not.

[frosty frost]

If they dont see you first they will not attack the grausten, but you can just go over the walls if you really want to have the walls untouched

[regal wedge]

I assume a decent number of people have bases made of raised earth. One thing I'm running into is how do you get in and out of your base? I'm currently still building so I'm just using stairs but is there a better way to do this?

[subtle parrot]

Imo a door works best, it's just easier. You can make a flat spot the mobs can't climb but you can easily jump up on and cut a spot in the wall and place a door or a gate

[drowsy crane]

Tbh I would just use walls and disable raids personally, the terrain walls are 🤢

[tacit breach]

I just use stairs until my run/jump get good enough. Honestly it comes down to how often you die, and what penalty your playing with. You might always need stairs. You get nice heavy doors you can integrate later, instead. If you use one now, just make it narrow.

[regal wedge]

I kinda like the ruggedness of the raised earth walls visually. I also didn't know you could disable raids but I kinda want to play it as intended my first time through

[drowsy crane]

Ah, well the enemy pathing breaks with the raised earth, so you're sidestepping what's intended anyways.

[tacit breach]

Only change I have made was after 4400 hours of playing. We made it so we could take ores through the portals. So I fully endorse playing "as intended".

[regal wedge]

Appreciate the tips. I'll probably only need to make a door out to the ocean since I'll rarely if ever need to run back inland once I get settled in

[regal wedge]

I don't quite see it that way. I see it as just making a stone wall on a budget

[drowsy crane]

Enemies know how to navigate a stone wall & gate, where terrain just leaves them standing still.

[tacit breach]

Don't listen to him on this issue. He usually gives good advice and info, but he has a hard hang up about these walls. The devs put it there, even made it a function of a tool, so clearly its intended.

[drowsy crane]

The only one with a hang up is you, no need to insert your opinions on how I feel. I am allowed to offer advice just as you are.

[regal wedge]

I don't agree that certain mobs should be able to tear down a stone wall by hand but the game allows them to. This circumvents that

[tough hare]

I don't think it's actually intended, but more a side effect of what the hoe was meant for: raising land to create a flat building area.

[tacit breach]

Again, you criticizing here, not giving advice. A HUGE difference. Plus your wrong, it is clearly intended.

[drowsy crane]

Point to where I criticize anything beyond that I think it looks ugly, which isn't an opinion I am alone on.

[regal wedge]

If the devs didn't want it, I assume they'd just make it so mobs could damage the ground. I'm honestly not sure why that's not already a thing

Like trolls already destroy everything around them when they swing but somehow dirt gets spared

[tacit breach]

So what if you think its ugly, it sup to them to decide that. Plus we have plenty of options to cover it up and look all nice and pretty. People don't like me putting my bees on top of my houses. I could care less.

[drowsy crane]

Some mobs can, but that's spoiler territory.

[tough hare]

Log trolls are able to hit through dirt walls, so anything you build to close to them will be destroyed.

[regal wedge]

yeah i saw a video say to build a trench 10m away from the wall to prevent that

[drowsy crane]

Exactly, so what, stop getting all crossed up about it.

They said they like the look, I didn't argue that for a second. Relax.

[tacit breach]

How about you stop bringing it up every single time you post about it? He has already invested a lot of time into making it. Just leave it alone when they have already made it.

[lilac coyote]

That time already, huh?

[drowsy crane]

You'll be alright it isn't the end of the world Robert, people can decide what to take in for themselves.

[tough hare]

I don't like the look of dirt walls either.

But unlike you two, I actually try to help the one asking the question here.

So could you two please stop the bickering and actually help here?

[tacit breach]

Whatever dude. Usually your giving good advice, why you have to tell people they did something wrong just because they built something you don't like...

[regal wedge]

they did for what it's worth

[drowsy crane]

They thanked us both for the advice, it's been answered.

[lilac coyote]

Be the better person, buddy.

[drowsy crane]

Where did I say it's wrong?

[tough hare]

One thing you could build in the gap are crops. You will still loose some if a log troll hits through the dirt wall, but at least it isn't as devastating as loosing an building or a crafting station.

[drowsy crane]

You need to stop reading into things deeper than what's said until you find yourself upset.

[tough hare]

Unfortunately, yes.

[regal wedge]

Like down in the hole? Never really considered that

[lilac coyote]

No idea who it is, but the fact that they're already blocked tells me what I need to know.

[drowsy crane]

Derek got mad at me for calling him out on ptb misinformation 😂

[tacit breach]

Really? You changed it up a little this time, but this is not positive feedback: "Tbh I would just use walls and disable raids personally, the terrain walls are vomit face"

Plus then you talk about what is intended, but say to turn off raids instead? Really?
Anyways, I am not going to beat this dead horse any longer. At least I agree with your advice most of the time.

[drowsy crane]

Anyways, sorry for all the confusing cross talk, hope you find a better entry solution.

[drowsy crane]

They asked a community for advice, not positive feedback, move along sir.

[regal wedge]

no sweat. I think I have a solid idea for the solution. Just going to build an entrance facing the sea which I don't expect mobs from that direction. I don't see myself needing to go back inland on the land mass. Might make like an emergency staircase in the garden in case I need to for some reason

[drowsy crane]

Enemies have no stamina drain and can path to any door through water, heads up.

[regal wedge]

ewww that sucks

[drowsy crane]

Not the worst idea to keep them from swinging on the door itself, but they will find their way to it.

Unless they're tall enemies like a troll ofc.

[tough hare]

I don't know how far you're in the game, but if you got yourself an island not that far, settle down on that.

Raise the land 8 meters up in the center and 3-4 meters above water level at the sides and you're good to go.

You will still need stairs - or 26° roof pieces - to cover the height difference, but if you put torches at the edged and make sure those are 15 meters apart, you're able to prevent lots of invasions to enter your base.
Later you can cover the outer parts of your plateau with walls and only airborne raids will be able to enter your base.
While you still have the opportunity to kill any raid creature using a bow.

[drowsy crane]

You can always just place a normal gate and fight them off as is intended though, overthinking can have you sinking more time into things that cost a handful of arrows to end.

[regal wedge]

I'm mostly just concerned about the stick trolls

[drowsy crane]

They're really not that difficult to handle, especially if you're aware of them coming.

Just lead them away and kite them into objects while you sling arrows.

[dapper shell]

hello what's this it's my first time sailing

[drowsy crane]

It's an island that may or may not be alive

Proceed with caution

[dapper shell]

aight gotcha thank u i have many stuff with me imma just avoid it for now

[drowsy crane]

Good call, remember to mark it on the map if you can.

[dapper shell]

alright will do thank u

[dapper shell]

umm my boat just disappeared...

[short yew]

what does the "obliterator" do

[strong cape]

its the trash can

[short yew]

ohh

[dapper shell]

um

[tired root]

Say hello to it. 👋

[dapper shell]

i was like hell nah just turned away still chasing me

[tired root]

Yeah, they are the only creature that spawns in ocean, either during night or rainy time (both conditions increases the chances). Nightly spawns despawn after night it over.

Killing them grants you their meat which is very good.

[dapper shell]

idk ifi can kill it ngl

got bronze items currently

[tired root]

They are balanced around to being able to kill with black forest items.

[dapper shell]

oh alright imma try then hope my ship handle it

[tired root]

Keep nipping it with arrows and it will eventually go down.
Note that only the meat floats then.

[dapper shell]

alright thanks for the info

[tired root]

You can also sail closer to land in case things hit fan.

[jade olive]

If you die in the water while going under a rock will your tombstone still be there you think? It was not the ideal place to die.

[frosty frost]

There Is a good chance that it will be partially in the rock 🤔

[jade olive]

I was afraid of that

[frosty frost]

Well, you will have to get there and see, take a spare pickaxe just in case tho 😄

[jade olive]

I did and I found it but its going to be a bugger to retrive

[frail cave]

Can u lose all ur shit when u crash

I just did

[frosty frost]

It Is possible 🤔

[lapis terrace]

yes

it rolls back to your last save.

and your character and world are separate files

so say you die, and then your character saves, but the world crashes

then your tombstone is gone, and your character is naked

[frail cave]

Ok but world didn't crash i did and the exact same thing happened

So i died, world saved, I saved, I went back to get stuff, got stuff, got back to base, I crashed but world was fine, I come back but naked on my last save went to get my stuff and it was no where to be found

Like 8 hours of grinding just disappeared

[wicked sierra]

damn

[manic gyro]

Yeah, same thing, your character was not saved after the items were picked up, but the world was

[wicked sierra]

-# f5 and devcommands

[frail cave]

I thought if u spawned stuff in u couldn't use it properly

[manic gyro]

You should be able to restore either a character or world backup

[frail cave]

Nope

[wicked sierra]

it works fine

ive had to cheat in my inventory like 3 times now

[frail cave]

Can u spawn gear and weapons in at specific lvls

[wicked sierra]

yes

[frail cave]

And can u use commands if ur not world owner

[wicked sierra]

no

[frail cave]

I mean ig I could go in my own world and do it

[wicked sierra]

mhm

[frail cave]

So f5 and then u just type ?

Id probably have to Google the commands to what I need

[wicked sierra]

do you have console enabled in steam startup settings

[frail cave]

No idea

[wicked sierra]

likely no then

[frail cave]

Ik i can run steam as admin

[wicked sierra]

you need to go into properties iirc, then advanced startup settings and write -console there

then you can use F5 to use it

[frail cave]

Ok interesting

Is there a weapons and gear command list anywhere? Or will i have to just look em up individually

I did it the hard way by using hammer and no build cost to re make what I was able to but couldn't remake everything as not everything is used in building

[wicked sierra]

its literally as easy as "spawn sword____ 1 2" for a level 2 sword

the blank needs to be filled with the material

[frail cave]

Oh nice

And named weapons and gear you just type the name of it?

[wicked sierra]

foods and meads it starts to get a little finny but still easy

yea, and the wiki has the item id for everythin in the game

[frail cave]

Yeah luckily we had plenty of that stuff so I didnt have to worry

[frail cave]

Ok sweet

Ima definitely get my gear re spawned in at what lvl it was at tmr, I alrdy re made all my weapons the hard way

[wicked sierra]

lol

[frail cave]

Its 5am I alrdy got off so I'm not doing it rn lmao, ima sleep all damn day

Putting phone on dnd

[wicked sierra]

US moment

[frail cave]

Fr

[amber sapphire]

How do you start Hilder's quests?

[frosty frost]

Click on her table to show locations of the quests 🙂

[wicked sierra]

Should I level up my elemental magic the same way id level up blood magic, sitting next to a spawner and blowing shit up?

[frosty frost]

If you really need to level it then trap golem in a hole and shoot him with frost staff

[wicked sierra]

hmm

i only have the fire staff rn coz poor

[frosty frost]

20 Ygg wood, 4 freeze gland and 16 refined eitr 🤔 its not really expensive

[wicked sierra]

yeah well I got no soft tissues

brains have been really few and far between

[frosty frost]

Well dvergr crates also drop them, and rarely also dvergr themselves

[tacit breach]

Brains are few and far between. Its why my wife and I explore so much of the Misltands, to find them. We have enough now to make everything all over again to lvl 3. Plus we are happy with 8 extractors. We could have taken more, but 8 has been plenty with all the time we spend exploring for more soft tissue, black marble, iron, etc... Which is good, because two dvergr docks we found had no buildings. So no extractors. So getting even more of them would be an issue so far. We still have a ways to go to get to the known Queen location, so we could still get more, or go back to towers we did not loot. We are at a point now where we just mark the location of skulls and move on. Only thing we really want more of is Gjalls.

[twin trail]

So this hasnt happened to me but how do you recover if you way out at see and get killed?

[subtle parrot]

Get in a karve and sail out to your tombstone, they float

[frail cave]

Luckily ur tombstone floats

[tacit breach]

You have to be able to sail back out there to get to your tombstone, which floats. Just hopefully not on a raft. That sucks.

[twin trail]

haha ok good to know

[frail cave]

if im looking tio enable command is this where i input -console to do that

[twin trail]

Yes

[frail cave]

awsome

I cant figure out commands to spawn jotun bang 😭

[manic gyro]

The wiki lists most of the item ids

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

[frail cave]

Thanks 💙

[midnight saffron]

do trolls respawn? I want to make a small base in a troll cave

[frail cave]

Cant put a work bench in a dungeon

[midnight saffron]

ok, that complicates things
ty

[tacit breach]

Yah, you can make camp fires and put signs, thats about it, as far as I know.

[frail cave]

U can put down benches

The basic ones

[tacit breach]

You mean the ones we sit on, not craft at?

[midnight saffron]

I want something mobproof, which isn't a base on top of one of those tall fuling pillar rock thingies

[tacit breach]

So like the core wood log and fine wood bench?

I've built a house, a keep, and a full complex on top of those plains pillars. Found a group of pillars close enough to build between them. Think it was a total of 7 of them.

[dapper shell]

how to deal with ooze poisin is there like a consumable or smtng

[tacit breach]

Meads, from the Fermenter.

Get that with bronze, probably another key item or two.

[dapper shell]

alright thank u

[frail cave]

@tired root

[tired root]

Ah, now I see.

Write only devcommands first.

Then on own row any other command you want to use.

[frail cave]

Just says false after I put devcommands than when I do the next line it says not valid in current context

[strong cape]

its a toggle, do it again and it should say true

[tired root]

Like Arrowmaster said, when it states Dev commands: true you can use other commands.

Also, use item ID, which is still AxeJotunBane for Jotun Bane.

[frail cave]

It worked !!!!

Thanks guys fr

I did not wanna have to re grind everything i lost

[tired root]

In these kind of situations I see using cheats valid option to get your items back.

[frail cave]

For real, I almost cried last night when it lost my stuff

[tacit breach]

Yeah, losing items due to crashes sucks. Fortunately its only happened two or three times over the years, and I had the mats to just make new ones each time.

Part of why I hoard mats, between crashes, and dying in bad situations, its just the thing to do in Valheim. 😄

[frail cave]

This is 2nd time for me now, but my main world i play on is with 2 other ppl so re making everything just hinders our progress

[tacit breach]

Now I just consider it part of how I make progress, but back when I first started playing, yeah, I hated the grind too. So tried just getting the bare minimum.

[frail cave]

Well when ur so far into the game it becomes more of an annoyance and having to re gain certain mats like for jotun bang specifically id have had to hunt gjalls for hours if I wanted to re make that without commands

Idk why but they just don't spawn as much for me

[tacit breach]

Then I won't tell you how many bile bombs and gjall glands we have accumulated so far this play through. 😄 Let alone Gjall trophies.

[frail cave]

I wish, we just beat queen and we got nun

[tacit breach]

We hunt the gjall. Get excited every time we hear them.

Which seems like every time we take 10 steps.

[frail cave]

Lmfao I wish

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I am exaggerating, but we do have a lot.

[frail cave]

Lmfao true

[regal wedge]

Anyone know how deep water has to be before trolls can't swim in it?

Or rather I guess walk through it would be the correct way to say it

[frail cave]

they may not have a swimming animation, but they can swim (using the walking animation)

[regal wedge]

So even if you build your base where it is caped and dig a trench that effectively separates you from the land, trolls can still swim around through the water and reach you?

[tacit breach]

They still only go out so far. They don't chase you like other big meanies I can mention, through the deep waters.

They do not cross trenches, that are deep enough, water or not.

[frail cave]

yea but steep ground or walls can stop them.

[tacit breach]

Their club AoE still might reach you, or your buildings.

Rocks too, but those don't cause nearly as much damage, either.

[regal wedge]

I dug a trench but couldn't dig it fully because of the water. Idk if its even possible to dig underwater but that was the issue I was having

[tacit breach]

Yeah, you can only get so deep in water, then you swim.

[frail cave]

possible but extremely tedious, you may wanna add terrain walls outside of the trench if you wanna keep the base passively safe.
that said, it's also very viable to just run out there and distract the trolls from your base whenever you're being invaded

[tacit breach]

Most people try to extend a wall out into the water, to deter going around that way.

Not 100% effective.

[regal wedge]

Right so I stopped digging and just started building a wall with raised earth. Wondering how far out I need to take the wall into the ocean so the water is so deep they dont see going around as an option

Yeah that's what im attempting now

[tacit breach]

Best thing to do, especially for the raid, is to not even go near those areas. Stick to where you do want to fight them.

They focus on you.

[regal wedge]

At this point, it seems like im just building delays at this point since I can't seem to wall them off fully

[short yew]

what armor should I make? I just got a metric boat load of silver and im not sure

i find i like double stamina one health

[tacit breach]

Not with a 100% assurance, no. Now if you stay away from the "ends" of your walls, and keep the trolls focused towards the middle, they will stay out.

[tacit breach]

How have you gone so far, heavy or light armors?

Heavy is the only one you can do with silver, you have to go into the caves to get the light version.

[tired root]

Fenris set is totally worth it, one of the best sets in game.

[tacit breach]

Plus the caves are fun to clear out. A nice addition to the mountains.

[short yew]

oh ive done the caves, i got really angry at the cultists though

i got a trophy of one of em tho! even tho they were the cause of 99% of my death loops

[tacit breach]

Yeah, well, typically you don't have the fire wine when you go into the mountains. 😄

[manic gyro]

And chances are you are still wearing parts of the root set

[tacit breach]

That too.

So extra easy to burn.

[manic gyro]

Yep

[tacit breach]

I guess I have more than quasi training for my next Zero Death attempt, for just sticking with heavy armors.

[tired root]

Any part of root armor makes you extra crispy. 🔥

I have gotten fond to use battleaxe against the cultists, makes staggering them easy.

[tacit breach]

I do love that crystal battle axe. Don't know why I am not similarly enamored with the others.

[tired root]

Well, sadly there is only 2 battleaxes in game currently.

[short yew]

what is serpent meat good for?

[tired root]

It's good as meat itself and for serpent stew.

[tacit breach]

Yeah, they basically switched to swords with Mistlands, I don't recall what I got in Ashlands my last, only, time there.

[frosty frost]

To make best hp food before mistlands

[tacit breach]

It stays on par for Mistlands as well.

[short yew]

should i make a scale shield too?

[frosty frost]

If you like tower shields, why not

[short yew]

or is that just "meh"?

[tacit breach]

We use it instead of that meat platter. Once we run out of our initial store of all those mats.

[frosty frost]

It is a good tower shield 😄

[tired root]

It's better tower shield due to pierce resistance while blocking.

[tacit breach]

Its better to move on, imo, since you don't only face piercing damage later. The BM tower shield is rather awesome.

Once you can make it, of course.

You use it through the Mistlands as well.

[short yew]

good for plains then?

[tacit breach]

I always do a tower shield.

Miss a parry, you die. Hard to miss a block.

[short yew]

very fair

[true steeple]

Shield resistances stack with character resistances so if you have the scale shield and root harnesk or bonemass power you'll take very low pierce damage, you can even reduce later boss attacks to deal less than 1 damage

[tacit breach]

I realized I am always quasi preparing for doing another Zero Death attempt, so blocking just cuts down on bad luck killing you. Which is the main reason I stick with Tower Shields. If your really good at parrying, and rarely screw that up, then parry. Especially if you don't mind dying more often.

[tame harness]

Technical Inquiry: is there a way you can query what characters the saved worlds/seeds are associated to on the local drive?

trying to associate what characters are part of what worlds/saves - should have used Excel before going too far

[lapis terrace]

um. kinda

you can use a command called "info" and the information displayed will tell you how many hours your character have spent in each world

[frail cave]

this work for worlds owned by others or no

[lapis terrace]

no. any character

my main character has 100's of worlds 😄

[frail cave]

i have 2 but my main gameplay takes place in m,y brothers that we share id like to see ho0w many hours my character has on it

[tacit breach]

Is this a dev command, or one of the ones you can put into the chat window?

[tame harness]

currently just logging into each world as many would be completely unexplored if no hours counted

was hoping there was some file in the world structure that saves player location, etc.

[tacit breach]

Right now I just sign in and see who the beds belong to.

Be nicer for a command to do the work. 😄

[tame harness]

That's another great way to see who's been where - good tip

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I have a lot of characters and a lot of worlds. Thankfully I also own most of the files. A few servers being exceptions. Those are what the command would be of particular help with.

Some server owners were willing to give me copies of the worlds, but not all of them.

[pure mango]

What do we think about magic vs heavy armor for the start of the Ashlands?
In Mistlands I felt heavy armor was the slower but safer choice because you can absorb getting hit a few times and just keep your shield up whilst you think of your best move
Magic felt like a glass cannon, I could quickly clear mobs but it only took a couple of mistakes to die

I'm thinking of maybe a hybrid build for now, magic robe, carapace bottom and helmet, staff of protection for mitigating damage and skeletons for distraction and a little bit of dps, rest of the dps coming from mistwalker/bow

I can go over 100 eiter for the skeletons with plains feast + mistlands feast + eiter food

[tacit breach]

My feeling on these things is to just play around with it, and see how you like it. You don't have to test these ideas out in the deadliest biomes.

If you do go magic, make the Eiter regen mead.

[tired root]

Haven't actually done a sail in Ashlands as full mageplayer but generally it's safe and effective playstyle.

[frosty frost]

I found ashlands as a mage easier than melee, but still like melee more 😄

[pure mango]

It seems an issue that at the start of Ashlands your staff of embers, which has probably been your go to, isnt very effective. I'd almost certainly go full mage one I could upgrade my gear.

I like melee, melee doesnt like me back. I struggle with the timings lol, especially with groups of mobs.

[true steeple]

Are you utilising jump attacking often? It can help a lot with timings.

Many enemies won't be able to start their attacks while you're off the ground, and it allows you to start your attack from further away and move toward them mid-air

[pure mango]

Once I jumped off the edge of a cliff towards a drake to do a flying deathblow and it was very epic, or it would have been but I selected my building hammer by mistake

Apart from that not really

[true steeple]

Jump attacking is a great way to dodge and attack at the same time, since jumping is often better than rolling.

[pure mango]

noted

I'm getting my new base to the point where I can at least move in and have enough stuff to sleep there, since it will be much easier to take my ashlands loot directly there rather than move it later. But I found The Queen OK after all the worrying lol so I should not procrastinate on heading down there afterwards lol.

[abstract pagoda]

I'm sure alot of you are master builders and maybe you can give me some advice, i'm having a hard time roofing out this middle section. My brain just doesnt seem to be braining, its 2m wall length longer on each side ill get a screen from the top here in a second XD

[tired root]

You want to add supports, corewood at earliest can help with that.

[tacit breach]

Also, you may want to familiarize yourself with #building-tips

That channel has been very helpful over the years, to me.

[tiny violet]

I play primarily Hybrid style melee mage. I like it a lot. The 2Feast + Meal is a great strat. Once you beat Ashlands boss it’s even better. But I did a lot of 1H 1S 1E eating. Didn’t use summonses but had enough eitr to make a bubble and then use fireballs and sometimes frost. The Mistwalker scales up so well. Be sure to upgrade it as that is where the added spirit damage comes from. I launch fireballs and when I run out of Eitr- switch to melee. When I run out of stam- switch to frost or fireballs.
I think to start Ashlands, Heavy Armor is definitely safest. Using the mage robe is nice if you can survive. I like how those eitr generation buffs are per set piece.. and not a set effect. You can wear one piece and get some benefit.
I like to eventually run the Ask Set fully upgraded with the feather cape if I’m running/exoring/confident in an area. And go Flametal Helm, Embla robes, Flametal Boots, Ashen cape.. if doing a more difficult assault where I need to be more tanky

Later into Ashlands, ||staff of the wild|| is amazing as well

Biggest drawback to hybrid style I have found is inventory space lol I carry a lot of weapons and a lot of meads

[frail cave]

Bro same!

[teal stump]

Can someone help me find a mod similar to Infinity Build that still works? Tried "Build Integrity" and it messed up the game for me when I logged out

[frail cave]

I do melee class and mage class combined and I find i almost aways have 8 or less inventory spots open

[frosty frost]

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

[rough phoenix]

Been away from the game for a while - did they remove scroll weapon switching or is a mod interfering with it?

[lapis terrace]

um 🤔

[cedar lodge]

scroll weapon switching?

[rough phoenix]

scroll wheel - swapping selection from the item bar at the top - sorry If Im explaining poorly

[lapis terrace]

you probably had a mod for that 🤔

[cedar lodge]

oh ok so i got it, doesn't look like a vanilla feature (if it is i'm very blind)... is it a mod?

[lilac coyote]

If its not vanilla it'll be a mod.

[rough phoenix]

weird, cause I knew it was a thing. might have been removed tho I dont know why. Its like that in Terraria - I know the mouse wheel scrolls the selection at the top.

[lapis terrace]

Closest I can think about is the R key

[frosty frost]

Welp, not in vanilla 😄

[lapis terrace]

but we never ever EVER had quick swap between weapons

[rough phoenix]

🤣 Smiffe is right, I mispoke. Meant scrolling through the 1-0 keys

[lilac coyote]

I'd hope the dev knew their game...

[lapis terrace]

the scrollwheel is pretty much always locked to the camera by default

tho controllers work diffrently

[atomic panther]

Im getting back into the game rn after not playing for a couple of years, and im interested if fishing is worth it now?

[frail cave]

yes and no, early game not really but later on it def becomes useful, for example angler fish makes a great stam food, u gotta be careful with ur stam as fish have 5 tiers and the higher the teir the bigger the fish the harder it fights the more stam it takes to catch it

[atomic panther]

thanks

[frail cave]

np

Anyone know what the bear dream means when there are no bears in the game

[lilac coyote]

It's a dream, so nothing.

[stoic trench]

Just a bit of flavor, nothing more really

[jade olive]

Is there a thing on how much land can be riased by just flatting. I know the standard 8m limit and I can add stone to rise but flatting will also rise the land as well. How far can I do that is there a limit? I hope I explained it right.

[frail cave]

sadnesssss

[drowsy crane]

The terrain works in a 3d grid, so your limit for flattening is defined by the cube you're working in, the height limit is the top of the cube, from there you will need to raise with stone.

[jade olive]

Interesting but not exactly what I was trying to imply. I can rise with 2 stone and if I go up higher I can flaten to rise up further. Then I can rise again with 2 stone. So is there a limit on flaten to rise higher other then the 8m limit (which might just add up to). Hope I clarified it better

[drowsy crane]

Yes, the cube I mentioned that you're rising up to is the limit.

Both the stone raising and flattening follow the same limitations.

[jade olive]

OK so I'm guessing I am placing 2 stone I rise and get a free 2 stone but in the end 8m that it

[drowsy crane]

No, there's nothing free about it, you're using the 2 stone to enter a higher cube in the 3d grid.

If you use flatten to make it higher, you're still working within the same cube you used 2 stone to reach.

[jade olive]

Humm I get what you saying so in my mind I am only filling up that space half way and when I flatten to rise higher I am just filling up the rest of that space.

[drowsy crane]

Essentially yes, the limits are also dependent on where the "bedrock" begins, so when working on a hill you might have some areas with drastically different height limits.

[jade olive]

OK thank you very much. You have rise my knowledge.

I was hopeing I could go up higher. By using this method thought I do use less stone.

[drowsy crane]

Your best bet for this is finding a steep hill, digging the lower part of the hill down, and the highest part of the hill all the way up. This way you can have extremes of the limits really close to eachother, making the land look that much higher.

[jade olive]

Oh I am doing an odd project reclaiming land from the dividing they did for deep North and Ashlands. So I am rising some mistlands to make a farm that has a very low beach. It working out quite well but was hoping I'd get a little extra to save on some stone. But I have a ton so far.

[drowsy crane]

Oh interesting, I'd love to see some screenshots in #building-screenshots if you ever get around to taking some!

[jade olive]

Sure

[regal wedge]

This is the layout of what is going to be my main base. Is this going to be a large enough space to accommodate everything I'll need up to and including the end game?
I'm also not sure how I want to divide it up. The south tapers out to a little piece of land where I'm going to have my docks and boats.

[stoic trench]

This is definitely on the larger side, you shouldn’t have any issues with space as far as I can tell

[regal wedge]

cool awesome Now I just gotta figure out how to split it up

Also, for those wondering, I just went with a flush staircase against the raised earth wall and cut the bottom off so I have to jump to enter but the mobs don't see it as a path

may not be the prettiest but it's not hideous (still putting on some finishing touches) and it's efficient

[drowsy crane]

Be sure to leave plenty of room outside of the main building, there are some things you'll acquire that are just best to be built outdoors, not to mention farmland for plants and animals alike.

[regal wedge]

I'm unsure how much space I'll need for a farm and garden but I was planning on putting that in the top-left

That 29x28 patch

Not sure if that'd be enough

But to be sure of that, I'd need to know what I plan on farming in the future

[drowsy crane]

Just be ready to make some adjustments is all I will say without getting too far into details.

😅

[regal wedge]

I beat the tree boss on a different run that didn't make the distance but so far this is all I've ventured. After having everything I own destroyed by a troll and rage quitting, I've got a lot to explore and I'm not sure how I'd begin to bring things like animals from other biomes back to my base if I even could.

Never even found a swamp so there's that

[drowsy crane]

You will come across these things in your adventures, but Valheim is truly at it's best when you're taking your time and adventuring at a comfortable pace.

[regal wedge]

Well now that I'm comfortable and safe from getting everything I know and love trolled LITERALLY, I'm sure I'll have a fantastic time 😄

[drowsy crane]

Going forward my advice is just try to get better at beating things rather than breaking them, those walls won't keep everything in the world of Valheim at bay. It'd be a healthier response in this combat survival to go out and figure out how to fight your enemies, rather than research how to avoid them. You'll have an easier time fighting bosses and whatnot going forward with a bit more combat experience/confidence.

[vagrant merlin]

my server subjects arent paying their taxes what do i do :p

[drowsy crane]

Remove the taxes.

[vagrant merlin]

false

[regal wedge]

I can easily deal with a troll or even 2 with prep. Just when all I get is a red circle on my map and I look up and troll face is poking through my roof and then boom I'm rebuilding from scratch? Nah that can go somewhere

[drowsy crane]

Let them play on another server without server taxes.

[vagrant merlin]

it was a joke nvm

[drowsy crane]

Alright, well this is a help channel, you're just going to get answers.

[vagrant merlin]

fair enough i was in the wrong

i forgot people dont have a sense of humor anymore

[drowsy crane]

It's never from scratch, all your material will be on the ground, and there is a level of adaptation that needs to occur with raids anyways. Trolls are just the first thing that carry a bigger consequence of ignoring the big incoming raid message across your screen.

[drowsy crane]

You'll figure out where and when one day man.

[regal wedge]

The video I watched said that with a raised earth wall and spikes on top, I should have plenty of time to respond to any real threats and be effectively immune to others

So that's what I went with

Oh also dig moat

[drowsy crane]

Stone walls are virtually the same, more often than not Trolls will just stand outside of my gate waiting for me to come battle, and I just use stone walls & wooden gates.

[regal wedge]

I might revert to that once I reach stone access

[drowsy crane]

The immunity will only last for the first 3 biomes.

[regal wedge]

Or just put a stone facade on the raised earth

[tired root]

To add what had been said about the stamina food (plus plains tier HP food requiring cooked fish) the update from last October added new uses for 3 certain fish types as mead ingredients.
Also there is one equipment piece requiring all types of fish for its' crafting recipe.

[regal wedge]

I recall reading this but I want to confirm, if you build something out of wood and build it underwater, the water will only damage it to 50%. Is that right?

Mostly referring to support beams for a dock

[tired root]

Correct.

[regal wedge]

OK good. Was worried I was gonna go get more wood, come back, and my dock would be in pieces floating at the shore

Appreciated

[alpine tapir]

I'm softlocked? I have no axe and I can't jump out or mine out

[lapis terrace]

possibly 🤔

do you have a build hammer?

[alpine tapir]

heres a better screenshot

[lapis terrace]

can't parkour jump until you get out?

a few stone and wood could always build you an axe

[alpine tapir]

nope and i have no wood

[lapis terrace]

dying is probably the best way sadly

unless you want to fly out if you can

or teleport 🤔

[alpine tapir]

and how do i die?

[lapis terrace]

write /die in the chatbox 🤔

[alpine tapir]

AHA there are the roots that drop wood in the burial chambers and the chests can be destroyed to drop stone im free

[lapis terrace]

ah nice nice

[flat bloom]

i was wondering im hosting a game for my friends to play however any time there is a raid my house is the only one raided is there anyway to fix that so we all get raided ?

[frosty frost]

Sounds like really bad luck unfortunately, raids can happen to any player that has 3 or more player base structures in vicinity. (Exception being "You are being hunted..." raid which doesent require those.)

[flat bloom]

aww oki as long as its just that as i was second gussing myself as we had 3 raids so far and all at my house lol

[frosty frost]

RNG be doing RNG things 😄

[flat bloom]

well probs cause im on more than the other 2 as well ahha

whats the chances of seeing a 2 star troll or does it increase if i turn up the diffcult level ?

[frosty frost]

The ones spawned by one time spawn points at enterence and inside troll cave can have stars, and you can start to encounter starred trolls outside of those further than 2000m from world centre. And combat difficulty setting can increase chances for all of these cases to have stars.

Normal level up rate for enemies is 10% will have 1 star and 10% of those will have 2 stars. (So 90% of enemies will have 0 stars, 9% will have 1 star and 1% will have 2 stars)

[flat bloom]

how much does it go up by for each diffcult level ?

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers#Combat_Settings
Normal lvl up rate is set as 100%. Hard difficulty puts that at 120% and very hard at 140%.

[flat bloom]

nice thank youu

might turn up the difficult with out telling the other two see how long it takes them to notice lol

[thorn spire]

lol. You’re a natural born DM.

[frosty frost]

They will likely notice the increased enemy dmg and their own lowered dmg before the level up rate tho xD

[flat bloom]

one of them still running around with no armour on so he might not notice lol

[frosty frost]

Oh... xD

Yeah, being one-shot by 50 dmg feels prety much the same as being one-shot by 100 😄

[flat bloom]

he has had bad luck so far he built his house to close to the forest and he keeps getting a visit from trolls as he trying to tame boar

[pure mango]

This is my Ashlands 'starter pack' of stuff I plan to build there so I know how much metal to put on the boat. Am I missing anything (spoiler'd for obvious reasons)
||- workbench

• stonecutter
• artisan table (for blast furnace)
• 3x shield generators
• blast furnace (for any flametal I need locally)
• battering ram (I know its not essential but it looks fun)
• 3x portals
• emergency structural stone (until I get some grausten) ||
  I know I'll get a ||stone portal eventually so metal isnt an issue,|| this is just to tide me over

[deep solar]

Would I need to make a new world to get bears and trinkets in my game? Or can I just update my current game to the new playtest version?

[balmy iris]

Is there anyway to turn off structure decay while playing on xbox? I see there are mods for it but I'm fairly positive I can't get mods on my game.

[lilac coyote]

That's one for the PTB channel.

[pure mango]

Almost certainly bears since they would spawn depending on biome, for trinkets depending on what exacly drops the materials you might need to go to a part of the world you havent uncovered yet, since the detailed world generation is only done when you get close.

[deep pebble]

where do bears spawn, as in what biome or specific locations?

or how do i summon them in with commands

[lilac coyote]

You play the PTB version of the game.

[deep pebble]

you havent changed one bit have you

[lilac coyote]

Answering people's questions? No.

[deep pebble]

you arent answering them, you just give a really pasive aggresive comments towards people, obviously i play the ptb to find out but i honestly dont have the patience for it so thats why im asking, if you dont have a helpful answer then keep your hands off your keyboard

[lilac coyote]

We're not allowed to discuss PTB content outside that channel though which is why that's all I can do is direct people there.

[deep pebble]

where is the ptb channel?

[narrow lodge]

why is the bogwitch not spawning for me? even in places i havent touched

[ornate finch]

You can check where it is via find bogwitch 5 command, if you are playing on your own server.

[nova nova]

if i load this new test on a server ive already played on will it brick it when theres an update??

[ornate finch]

No, it shouldn't be a problem. Are you talking about dedicated server, or are you just hosting from the in-game?

[nova nova]

yeah just pressing the 'start server' button

[ornate finch]

You have nothing to worry then.

is there a command to find the elder spawner / the red stone (the location giving thing) ?

[lilac coyote]

The vegvisr?

[gleaming sun]

yeah

so is there a command for that

[lilac coyote]

Find would be the command .

[raven apex]

Does anyone know if the public testing stuff is available to Xbox series S and how to do it if so?

[gleaming sun]

idk the full one : like find _____

😭

[lilac coyote]

Oh, the item ID? Hang on..

Hm, Vegvisir_GDKing I think.

[gleaming sun]

[novel zealot]

Wth ? My game keeps crashing within the first 1 minute of starting a new game.... basically freezes my PC, then after 3-4 seconds it crashes the game and gives me an AMD BUG REPORT TOOL

[lapis terrace]

playing PTB with AMD graphics card and using vulkan?

[novel zealot]

PTB ?

[lapis terrace]

public test branch

the combat update

[novel zealot]

I'm not, no

[lapis terrace]

Hm.. ok

[novel zealot]

But I am using vulkan yeah

[half anvil]

is the update on xbox preview? it shows it in the patch notes on the valheim screen but Im not sure how to access it

[lapis terrace]

yes

scroll up like half a page and I've posted how to join the Xbox preview

[wicked sierra]

Driver is not having fun huh

[wicked sierra]

You can try directx

And make sure drivers are up to date

[novel zealot]

that's not usually a problem, because AMD has updates once a year as opposed to nvidia which has them every 3 hours

[lapis terrace]

indeed 😄

nvidia have had plenty of issues this year

[half anvil]

thanks, Im already in it. I deposited some wood and it unlocked the crafting recipes

[wicked sierra]

you played valheim latly or comming back for the PTB?

[deft belfry]

im on the xbox ptb and im struggling to bring up the command menu, is anyone else having this issue?

you probably need to add the same feature as you have with the normal Xbox version of valheim for it to work

[deft belfry]

sorry i dont quite understand what you mean

midway through a run, then switched versions to the public

quick question, if i load the new public test on an old world, will that make new seed generation for parts of the map i haven't explored yet? just checking before i update ❤️ if this isn't the right place, let me know

[wicked sierra]

yes

adn the right place to ask would be #valheim-public-test

[queen marlin]

thank you so much. I assumed it would but wanted to make sure

[queen marlin]

i was trying to avoid spoilers, honestly

[wicked sierra]

derek isn't it that the new stuff spawns on unexplored areas yes?

[lapis terrace]

locations yes, enemies no

[wicked sierra]

yeah they spawn everywhere

[queen marlin]

thanks both. that's what i assumed too because of it being the same for the ||bog witch|| ([previous patch spoiler)

[deft belfry]

i cannot find an option for this on the insider program

[spring frigate]

how agro works in this game when multiple players are around?

[true steeple]

Creatures will go for the closest suitable target

[spring frigate]

just the closest?

[true steeple]

Yes

Someone in #mods-discussion might know

[spring frigate]

Tonic of ratatosk gives 10% movement speed, does it however also negates movement speed penalty from armor for its duration? On same idea how weaknesses and resistances work with one another

[true steeple]

It's just +10%, it won't also negate movespeed reduction.
The damage modifier that resists most damage is used, weakness + resistance = resistance

[sinful bough]

bro how do i get my chickens out of this corner

[forest viper]

You can't, they belong to that corner, no other corner will suffice.

Chickens are dumb as hell. Hens are a little more well behaved but they're still stupid.

[twin trail]

Can make someone an admin on a non dedicated server?

[tacit breach]

No idea if this is related, but we have a corner in just one of our chicken houses that whenever a chicken goes to that corner, they stayed there. They stopped eating, so stopped producing eggs. We could not get them to come out, etc... So after killing 3 chickens that all did the same thing in that corner, we blocked off that corner. One of the weirdest breeding problems I have ever ran into in this game.

[sinful bough]

i usually have all 4 corners blocked off by flames for this reason, they just hatched while i was getting some stone

[tacit breach]

Its the first time I have noticed chickens doing this. I guess I will pay more attention, just to see if corners are a problem more often than I had noticed up to this point.

[short yew]

is there any way to make the floors nicer?

[frosty frost]

Considering the layout... I am not sure...

Hang out in the building channels. They are further down the channels list.

[frosty frost]

You could try the 1x1 floors maybe 🤔

[regal wedge]

Been planning my base layout and wanting to see if I'm missing anything before I start building.

[frosty frost]

👀 That will be one big house

[regal wedge]

I assume there's quite a bit of storage and structures that go into the cooking aspect that I'm expecting

Haven't really gotten into cooking but I see a lot of stuff for it

[frosty frost]

I think this will work quite well 😄

[regal wedge]

Also fermentation will go there

Thanks 🙂 If you can think of anything I'm missing or might be overlooking, please let me know.

[frosty frost]

The problem is i do somewhat often also overlook things xD but right now it seems like nothing is missing

[regal wedge]

Right 😄 Even if I do need to overhaul something I forgot, I imagine it won't be too much to rebuild

I also am planning on all the building to, in some capacity, be 2 floors

[finite goblet]

i have my forge and its under 100% roof, but it only displays copper knife and nothing else. i cant progress in the game till i unlock the rest of the copper stuff. how do i fix this?

[frosty frost]

Go get some tin too 😄

[finite goblet]

what?

[frosty frost]

You will need copper and tin to progress 😉

[finite goblet]

how does that help me if i cant craft anything with either

i thought it was supposed to give me a bunch of recipes for copper stuff like the copper axe

[frosty frost]

Once you smelt tin you will unlock the material those are made from 🙂

[finite goblet]

ah

tin is in black forest?

[frosty frost]

Yep, near water level

[plush cape]

my server wont start please help before i remove brains from skull

[frosty frost]

Looks like a mod thing to me, folks in #mods-issues might know how to help 🤔

[still oxide]

is the valheim mods stable now because of the update?

[steel thorn]

Are Asksvin mounts any tougher than Lox? My beloved Lox Whenny perished during an invasion and I'm disillusioned with them now

[frosty frost]

If you are not playing the beta then nothing should change for you. 🙂

[still oxide]

oh its still in beta?
so the mods are still fine?

[frosty frost]

If you didnt opt in to the beta then yes, nothing changed for you or your mods

[frosty frost]

The 0 star has bit less health than lox and bit more dmg, if you go for starred one its much better 🙂

[steel thorn]

do the starred ones take less damage as well or is it just more health?

[frosty frost]

They have more health

[regal wedge]

Anybody know a good way to keep your boat from beating against your dock?

[wicked sierra]

Jump out of it

[regal wedge]

Talking about in storms and stuff

The water drops and rises a ton in storms and just slams my boat against the dock. Wondering if there's a way to better secure it

[cedar lodge]

uhm there's no much to do about it, unless you want to leave it very umpractically far from the dock, best way to secure a boat is smashing it and putting the mats in a box (kidding, but really no other way)

[wicked sierra]

Not really unless you close something on top of em

[cedar lodge]

uhm, cdon't think that a roof cover will prevent it from hitting the dock with high waves

[regal wedge]

I've got it boxed in tight to give it a relatively limited range of motion so when it does hit, it doesn't hit as hard. I imagine once I get a longboat it'll have enough hp for me to not really care

[cedar lodge]

has more hp, still repairing it every once in a wile remains a routine activity like fueling the torches, that's the price of a good harbor display even the Karve gets rarely that damage tho, sure it's just the waves, maybe some mobs have access?

When will the update be

[wicked sierra]

Two to three weeks

Maybe more

[frosty frost]

Depends how many issues are found in ptb 🙂

[tacit breach]

I actually give it more distance. Like 2+ meters worth. If I cannot jump on, since I have a workbench close enough, I build a temporary ramp out to my boat to get on. I do not enclose them anymore, it just gives the boat more things to hit. I just do a simple dock, and keep the boat a few meters away from it. Also I often find boars and necks out there attacking it as well. Despite how far I have it from the edges of my base, they still aggro on my boat. So something else to keep an eye out for.

Ok so whats the -15% and -20% mean on the askvkin and ashen cloaks

[flat bloom]

is it still possible to build a maypole now ?

[tired root]

Read them. Asksvin cape gives -15% stamina usage for dodging and Ashen cape gives -20% stamina usage for attacks.

[frail cave]

Ok but is that taking away 15 and 20 % or negating 15 and 20 % saving ur stam

Basically I'm confused if its taking or saving the % of stam

[lilac coyote]

No, only between June 1 and July 6.

[tired root]

It reduces the stamina usage aka you use less stamina on those actions.

[frail cave]

Okay awsome thank you

[tired root]

If you play as mage the Asksvin cape can be good for the dodge stamina reduction and Wind Run effect, which gives slight speed boost and reduces your run stamina usage when having tailwind on your back.

[gleaming sun]

if i save my world, then do something and just quit will it save or not? (ik dumb q)

[lilac coyote]

As long as you leave it time to actually save you should be fine. Give it a few seconds at least.

[gleaming sun]

anyway does anyone know if these blue clouds mean something?

[wicked sierra]

Just mist

[gleaming sun]

ok

[frosty frost]

Clouds like this are usually on top of POIs

Hello, I have a question: is the old world updated when new ones are released? I would also like to know if it is possible to install the public beta of the new patch on the existing world. Thank you in advance for your help.

[tired root]

Old worlds will update along with new content patches. It will generate any newly added POIs in old world when you open it the first time after patch has been downloaded.

O!ptb <- some info here.

Hey I'm playing with a friend on a world I host locally. We play without mods but now we decided to adjust the gathering rate of black marble. I figured I can do this best with using Valheim Plus mod if I want to adjust the spawn rate just for this one resource. If I launch my world with this mod, does may friend have to install it too?
