[tired root]

Good luck tho. 👍

You might want to tame other wolf (non 2 star) beforehand or at the same time to start breeding them to possibly get more 2 star ones.

[plucky pollen]

Yea, I thought about taming a 1-star in the meantime because they show up much more often.

[tired root]

Getting them into pit with enough foods and covering it with roof pieces is easy way to keep them safe.
Have you found Bog Witch btw?

[plucky pollen]

Yes, I have

I've tamed non-starred wolves already in a pit like you described.

[tired root]

Are you aware of mead that halves the time used on taming process? She sells ingredient for it.

[plucky pollen]

I am not!

I'll go there and see if she sells the ingredients.

[tired root]

You will get the recipe for mead base when you buy the ingredient and have harvested some crops already (||carrots and onions||).

(I don’t think performance improvements are spoilers, right? 👀 )

[woeful rose]

"new update" goes in the "new update" channel tho

[stoic trench]

Fair enough. Bot mentions keeping spoilers in the proper channels, my only question is if mentioning improvements to performance qualifies as a spoiler.

[urban anchor]

does anyone know what is the best layout to grow vines ? and how much a single plant will grow?
thanks

[slow kindle]

question, why does root armour sometimes only give +14 skill?

[frosty frost]

Its just an visual issue, you still get the full ammount 🙂 i think its tied to dying iirc but not 100% sure

[slow kindle]

ok, i mean 1 lvl doesn´t really matter but it still looks off

[frosty frost]

Yeah should be purely visual, so no worries

[pure mango]

My guess would be that it actually gives +14.99 skill so when your current xp bar is empty it rounds down

Or some other rounding error

[slow kindle]

in this situation with my exp bar empty could be yeah

[sand spindle]

I break everything but copper block doesnt get destroyed ?? Why

[woeful rose]

it doesn't know u broke the ground under it yet, give it a couple whacks and it'l break

[proven condor]

Idk if it's me but I've learned to strip mine copper but when I break the last bloack touching the ground. Instead of all breaking.... it just floats....

[sand spindle]

its floats

I break everything

[woeful rose]

it will update and realize that it is no longer supported once you make sure it's fully cleared of the ground and start breaking pieces off it

[proven condor]

I have too also but I was told "oh it will all break after you take all the bottom out" like mhmm

[woeful rose]

There would be a looooot of extra calculations that it would have to make in order to break automatically once it's completely unsupported, you just have to break one or two of the bottom pieces off and it will shatter completely

[sand spindle]

%100 sure nothing connect with anything

[proven condor]

Hasn't happened to me yet

[woeful rose]

that little spike behind you is close enough to the ground for it to think it still has ground

you gotta keep em seperated

[frail cave]

the boxes used to determine whether or not it's still connected to anything are...well, boxes, they don't match the visible shape and size of each fragment, so it may not look like it's connected anywhere, but it still is. that spike to the left is pretty suspicious for example

here's an example

[proven condor]

I walked under the copper it wasn't touching anything

[sand spindle]

hmm okey

[woeful rose]

just keep going, you'll get there, always trust the process

[proven condor]

I'll just trust my break it all. Works 1000% of the time

[frail cave]

i generally don't recommend relying on this strat for copper unless you have a good feel for those invisible boxes, it can waste a lot of time if you don't.
that said, later mineral deposits like ||silver|| are much more reliable to break with gravity since their fragments are much smaller, copper is the exception here.

[proven condor]

I was also on a community server. So maybe that was why

[calm shell]

my friend cant join my map

[cobalt glacier]

yknow the join game friends section? if i host a server while appearing offline am i still gonna show up in that section?

[stoic urchin]

hello guys. i just had a trip to the swamp and i died like twice. i have full bronze armour, 100hp, 80stamina,bronze mace and buckler, poison resist potion. but i still cant survive.

[woeful rose]

have you met haldor yet?

[thorn spire]

Swamp is definitely a step up from black forest. Use the sunken crypts and the (unbreakable) sloped trees to your advantage.

[stoic urchin]

nope

[patent idol]

Yo guys, is anyone had any issues with setting up dedicated Server? The thing is, that i changed -world and -name params in .bat to my existing world, but when i connect it creates a new server

[woeful rose]

he spawns in the black forest, and will provide you some pretty significant advantages for going into the swamp, in exchange for some gold

[thorn spire]

You're more likely to get assistance if you ask in #dedicated-server

[strong cape]

#dedicated-server

[patent idol]

ty sry

[thorn spire]

np

[stoic urchin]

any black forest on the map? or maybe one near the spawn or something

[woeful rose]

it does have to be a certain distance from spawn iirc

but not particularly far

[stoic urchin]

alright ill try looking for him. thanks for the help

[next dirge]

Hi guys, I have a technical issue. After logging back into the game yesterday, half of my explored map and most of the bases are gone like they never existed. Anyone know what happened and how to solve it? Thank you so much! 🙁

[tacit breach]

Sounds like you might want to look for an older save and use it. If your on Steam you may have had a big failure to sync your save file. I had something similar happen about a month ago, Where everything went back to literally Day 1. We only still had the gear we had on our characters. Fortunately, the next save was only about half an hour older than the reset save. So over all, we did not lose much.

[spark shell]

What's the key for freelook? I feel like I remember there being one?
ie stuff like looking behind while moving and all

[frosty frost]

Like disconecting camera from your body?

[spark shell]

yep

[frosty frost]

Open console using F5 then type devcommands and freefly

[spark shell]

no wait like not completely disconnecting

just looking around, like if i press w normally ill always move in direction my camera is facing
but you know how many games have a key where u can keep moving in one direction while looking around?

[frosty frost]

Ah, autowalk? That should be Q

[spark shell]

mmm not quite but i guess thats a close replacement xD

I guess I just remember it wrong, its been a while

[frosty frost]

Cant really think of anything closer sadly

[spark shell]

thanks for help

[inland blade]

If you start a world on the PTB, can you continue that world when ptb is over ?

[tired root]

Yes you can.

[frosty frost]

Usually yes 🙂

[inland blade]

Thank you

[jade rapids]

Yes, but no guaranties

[regal wedge]

aside from multiplayer, do I lose anything from playing offline?

I recall seeing something the other day that said it just saves locally until you connect again

[frosty frost]

Cloud saves, but you can just save to local

[regal wedge]

cool thanks. I foresee a short window where I'll be without internet so good to know I'll still be able to play

[frosty frost]

Just switch from cloud saves to local saves in the in game save manager and you will be fine 🙂 after you get internet back up you can switch to cloud again if you want to

[regal wedge]

much appreciated!

[plucky pollen]

Do entities spawn when you're around or do you need to leave the area?

[frosty frost]

Which entities?

[plucky pollen]

Wolves for example.

[frosty frost]

Nope, mobs spawn even with you around

[plucky pollen]

So I can slay them, wait and they will spawn next to me?

[narrow turtle]

Only building can stop spawning

Like workbench

[frosty frost]

Pretty much, but its way more efficient to run around and find new ones since zones have timer for spawning
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base and anything here will stop spawns in 20m radius around it

[narrow turtle]

Is beta ver. crash for everyone when alt tabing much?

[lilac coyote]

The live version does that.

[frosty frost]

Some people are indeed experiencing crashes, usually when using vulcan

[narrow turtle]

For me , if i alt tab to something for longer than ~5minutes it will guarantee crash.
Never meet this problem in release

I use vulcan ye

[lilac coyote]

O!ptb in any case.

Ty anyways

[short yew]

could i still find silver here

[narrow turtle]

If i didn't discover Deep North territories, it will generate as normal at 1.0 release?

[woeful rose]

it would probably be faster for you to dig that whole thing up and find out than to calculate the odds of there being silver in it

cause I'm sure there's a chance, but how slim it is is beyond me

[lilac coyote]

The issue is whether it's even high enough.

[compact heath]

@short yew silver spawns a bit higher than obsidian, if you can't even see obsidian there is no chance for it to be high enough for silver, looks extremely unlikely to be high enough for it imo

[short yew]

what does a cold wind from the mountains mean

[compact heath]

Its an event as in attack on your base

this one is unlocked after you kill Bonemass

you should have experienced some previous ones already unless you had very odd rng haha, there is a greydwarf one, a troll one etc

[short yew]

oh like the forest moves

[whole heath]

Hey guys, does anyone have any good guides on running a dedicated server on macOs? I've gotten a server up but now I cant find the save folder to switch out for our non-dedicated world

[ornate pollen]

when did valheim come out? i have a screen shot from 2011 but people say it came out in 2021

[stoic trench]

Went into EA in 2021

[ornate pollen]

i have screen shot on steam taming a wolf, may 2011

[stoic trench]

No idea why it would be saying that, the game 100% didn’t come out in 2011. Would be great if it did though haha

[ornate pollen]

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198940036385/screenshots/

click on the picture and check comments

no way i can fake the date of my comment on steam

[strong cape]

I think you may have dyslexia

[ornate pollen]

ah my bad

[ornate pollen]

i agree

[bright crest]

Can you pick classes like mage or healer later into the game

[stoic trench]

Not necessarily, but your gear and diet dictate your playstyle. And weapon of course. ||magic is an available option in late game||

[gray kayak]

if there are no player base items nearby, will tamed animals de-spawn or become wild again?

[frank bobcat]

will valheim ever get inventory slots made specially for equipment?

i stopped playing for a while, saw the new updates, and now there's even more items to fill up your inventory

[stoic trench]

Nope, they will remain tamed!

[stoic trench]

There haven’t been any changes to the inventory slots at this time. There’s been some things added to help with weight, but not space.

[frank bobcat]

dang

guess mods will be my only salvation if i come back then, thx for the info

[full plinth]

hello, just a question; I play on my daughter's local server; is there a way she can grant me admin access so that I can also do devcommands / debugmode / no cost etc?

[regal wedge]

So I have 2 boars in my pen with a bunch of raspberries. How do I know/check if they've been tamed?

i saw a thing that mentioned they'd have a bunch of pink hearts come out of them but if I miss that animation because I'm busy, what then?

[stoic trench]

They’ll have green health bars once tamed

[regal wedge]

oh that's easy enough 😛

[gray kayak]

will berries and mushrooms continue to respawn when there are nearby playerbase structures?

[stoic trench]

Yep!

[gray kayak]

okie thanks!

[regal wedge]

i'm seeing small yellow hearts coming out of them. I assume that means they're becoming tamed?

[stoic trench]

Yep! That’s a good sign, means they’re in progress. Make sure they don’t riled up, as it will halt the taming progress.

[regal wedge]

For all those who helped me with getting my base built up, here's some pictures of it basically finished!

I worry a bit about my kilns and furnaces being so close to my animal pen. Is that gap small enough to where it will frighten my boars?

Also, do those even count as "fire" that can scare boars

[stoic trench]

I don’t think boars get scared of fire anymore 🤔

[sharp sonnet]

My friend and I are on a server together, we are having a issue with the devcommands, he can use the devcommands but i'm unable to
NEW

any suggestions?

[full plinth]

i asked the same question, Smoke

hopefully someone will have an answer for us

[sharp sonnet]

I also asked it in the chat

🌺DereK🌺

VLHM
— 12:14 AM
Is this a dedicated server?

Smoke — 12:15 AM
yea he created a server
[12:16 AM]
its just us two in there

🌺DereK🌺

VLHM
— 12:16 AM
There's your answer. Dev commands aren't available on dedicated servers. Only single player worlds or those started ingame. Not without mods anyway.

good luck

[full plinth]

hi, how do you know if you have a dedicated server?

is that the one someone would pay for?

i have a single player world, don't pay for a server; would my daughter be able to use dev commands on my server/world?

[strong cape]

if you are on a dedicated server, as in both players had to connect to the server, then there is an adminlist.txt you need to add your steamid64 to and you will be admins

a dedicated server doesnt have to be one you pay for, you can run your own but its a separate program from the game. you can run the dedicated server on the same computer as a game but thats more complex. you can goto #dedicated-server for more server talk

[gray kayak]

Does the longship have a weight limit? What do I do with my lox in the middle of the ocean? I was trying to move it back home.

My longship kept taking damage while I was sailing with a lox. I thought it was some invisible rocks under the water. And thought it would stop once we get to the ocean. But it kept taking damage. I wanted to find an island to repair asap. But it self-destructed and we're now stranded at sea.

[wicked sierra]

It starts breaking at any speed over paddling

You and your lox are dead

[gray kayak]

i see.. alright

[grizzled mural]

is there a method to fishing or is it just hold reel in?

[fleet zinc]

my server valheim if too much player in 1 zone noone can open chest and kinda bug i can put 42 coal in smelter then i open the BeplnEx it say "but im not the owner" how can i fix it
oh i forgot my server is moded
i play in public test version

[tropic granite]

Hold while the fish is calm, wait while it's in active phase(moves constantly and drains stamina very fast if you try to reel in)

[vivid sundial]

you could have someone join and pick you up on a boat and possibly push the lox

[lapis terrace]

that's kinda impossible since the game production started late 2017, beginning of 2018 by Dvoid as a solo developer

[jade rapids]

Oh crap. Dr. Who are back in town

[grizzled mural]

thank you

[karmic hearth]

The screenshot is from 2021 as is the comment.

[pure mango]

Men want literally one thing

If youre doing magic or ranged then Lord Reto is like that thing where you get a billion dollars but theres constantly a snail crawling towards you and if it touches you then you die

[subtle parrot]

Only the host can use devcommands on non dedicated servers. Dedicated servers don't have to be paid to, if you have the equipment and knowledge you can make a dedicated server yourself. So if you start your world in game using the "start as server" option then you are the host of the server (not dedicated). If she joins from another device she can't use the commands only you can. On a dedicated server neither of you can use them without mods. If she plays on your world on your device or makes her own world and enables the devcommands then she can use them freely as much as she wants.

[gleaming sun]

do yall think valheim will be on the autumn sale and if yes than how much % do yall think it will be off

[lilac coyote]

Who knows?

[frosty frost]

It could be, tho we have no way to know for sure, and if it will be then most likely at 50% sale. At least thats what most of the sales over past years have been.

[lapis terrace]

I'd guess the usual 🤔

[worldly dagger]

Can anyone here confirm whether a monitor with 5ms response time is alright for playing Valheim?
I am currently using a monitor with 1ms response time (now old and got issues with it)

[drowsy granite]

Is the wiki's maximum damage formula for parrying correct? 0.4 x MaximumLife + BlockArmor x ParryBonus puts me at 88 maximum damage, which is less than I'm currently able to parry. Maybe I'm missing something, but a normal hit from a troll shouldn't stagger me even when accounting for being slighty weak to blunt damage 🤔

[karmic hearth]

Did you take your Blocking Skill into consideration? Since it adds to your effective Block Armor and I'm not sure if this is represented in the tooltip.

[drowsy granite]

Aye, it's accounted for in the BlockArmor part of the calc. Don't think I can go into specifics due to spoilers sadly, but if the formula is correct then perhaps (some of) the new stuff added in the update isn't working correctly.

[karmic hearth]

I don't have any insight on that either. But you're also aware that the formula changes depending on much MaxLife you have?

[drowsy granite]

Yeah, 40% of my max life is greater than my total block armor so that should be the appropriate formula.

[lilac coyote]

The update isn't live yet so I would presume they're not playing it.

[smoky river]

why cant i repair armor anymore?

is this a bug in the play test or a new nerf?

[frosty frost]

What armor do you have and what level is your workstation?

[smoky river]

ohhh right the workstation levels

mb lol havent played in a while

[frosty frost]

You need the level of workstation you needed to make the armor for the first time 🙂

[smoky river]

yh forgot ab that

[vestal timber]

Hey, i spawned too glowing mushrooms and now i have this in front of my face😂 . I cant interact with it and can place build pieces in it. But it has collision. Is there any way to remove it? Im unsure about forcedelete because my whole building might collapse. Pls help. On ptb

[frosty frost]

Roll back a save, afaik these ones cant be deleted even with force delete, but i would have to go check to be sure

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, that's my experience.

[sand spindle]

I need carry this boar to base. How can I? I need help

[gray kayak]

why is it so hard to find stonehenges and the vegimisir for the plains biome boss?!

[frosty frost]

The stonehenges are already a rare structure and the vegvisirs have 40% to spawn on 4 out of 6 of them

[tulip flume]

I am about to fight the elder with 35defence. I have the bronge helmet and troll armour set all at level 3. does that mean that I will recieve around 1-3damage on the first type? also around 25damage on the 2nd type? the boss has 2 type of attack I assume

[true steeple]

That's not how armor works, it only subtracts from damage if your armor is less than half of the damage taken.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

[tulip flume]

I am sorry my english is weak so I do not understand what you just said but Imma go read this wiki asap

SO if my armour is more than half of the damage then the formula applies. otherwise I it will just substract the damage

[true steeple]

Yes

[tulip flume]

so vine will damage me by 8 and stomp will damage me 26. got it. I should stay away from it and shoot it.

Btw are the summoned vine damage the same as the vine shoot? 35pierce to be precise

[frosty frost]

I am not totally sure, but i think the listed dmg is for 1 vine shot 🤔 and Elder always shoots more of them together, so even at distance you should be carefull

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Root_(creature)

[tulip flume]

Sorry I didn't think these were individual mobs. THank you very much.

[sand spindle]

how can I Carry PET BOARS?

[frosty frost]

Tamed boars are difficult to transport, you can push them in coridors made of walls or fences or you can harpoon and pull them behind you

[sand spindle]

harpoon okey thx

[frosty frost]

Remember you need to enable friendly fire

[tulip flume]

Is this a bad idea?

[frosty frost]

Seems fine, just dont run too close to that house

[lilac coyote]

Eat more!

[tulip flume]

When I die and have to run back to the boss?

[tulip flume]

I will eat right before starting the fight for max bonus

[frosty frost]

Get away from the portal as quickly as you can so he doesent have many chances to destroy it

[tulip flume]

understood

[tulip flume]

Everytime I kill a troll?

[frosty frost]

That means that once troll dies in your world that raid can happen when the game tries to start a raid

[tulip flume]

oh. so a troll raid after I have defeated the elder and my first troll?

[frosty frost]

It can start happening like all the other raids, yep

[lilac coyote]

You don't get the raid immediately if that's what you're thinking. Unless you're very unlucky.

[tired root]

Lucky, or unlucky, depends on the perspective.

[tulip flume]

no I mean troll raid replaces the normal ones after the crieterias I mentioned is met

is that correct?

[frosty frost]

Nope, they are added to the pool the game chooses from

[tulip flume]

Anyway thank you all for the help. it was quite easy to defeat him.

[obsidian otter]

are there even 1 or 2 star boars in the PTS?

do they naturally spawn still or no more 1 or 2 star..?

[frosty frost]

If you mean ptb, yes there still are, also this should go to #valheim-public-test probably 😄

[obsidian otter]

noted, thanks

[cobalt glacier]

whats the easiest way 2 tell if the world ur playing in is actually up 2date? is there a command 2 check for the bog witch?

the evil ass magma place is still at the bottom of the map so does that mean its up 2 date enough?

[frosty frost]

I automatically updates each time you start the world if you are on version you were not before, so if you have current version it is up to date 🙂
And try find BogWitch

[cobalt glacier]

right but i assumed if its a super old world its not gonna be able to just add in the new biomes n stuff right?

[frosty frost]

New content generates in areas you didnt generate before by exploring, so even old old world can have new stuff

[cobalt glacier]

oh wow thats great

me and a friend are doing another playthrough but dont realllyyyy wanna build another crazy mansion so were tryna just download a build but blueprints are kinda awkward so. Now i know i can use olddddd world saves with builds on them already

[frosty frost]

Just be sure that you dont explore far far north of the map if you want to play on that world in the future, thats where the last biome placeholder currently is and where the 1.0 Deep North update will take place. 🙂

[cobalt glacier]

ah i see...im pretty sure we got a mod to add in some content in the deep north but maybe we just skip that for now

[subtle dagger]

Has the lighting always been like this? I have max settings

So weird I never noticed

[fierce path]

if i walk along this red line will the hildr below it spawn in? i dont want her to because i want her to spawn at another location

[frosty frost]

She could, maybe go first to the location you want her at?

[fierce path]

aw man im already like halfway the distance to here

[frosty frost]

Whats the seed? i can go try it

[fierce path]

uXIFpuDg5R

ty i dont have commands enabled

[pure mango]

Dayum 1 star charred warrior went straight through fully upgraded flametal armor and tower shield

I can block multiple hits from a morgen in this set up and hardly take any damage

Theres no way I would have been able to get the sword fragments if I hadn't been using magic to keep range

[frosty frost]

Just go near the shore and you should be ok, and portal or take the same way back

[fierce path]

ok thanks

[glass scarab]

silly question here, do i wanna run with vulkan or not? sorry, prob a dumb question...

[quasi portal]

Depends, how powerful is your pc

[glass scarab]

ryzen 7 5800x, 3090 32 of ram

[quasi portal]

Yeah run it normally, especially if you’re doing the playtest as my group had frequent crashes using vulkan

[glass scarab]

fanks muchly

[fierce path]

how do i enable commands again i dont have commands in ptb

i mean after activating ptb

[frosty frost]

In properties on steam put -console into launch options

[fierce path]

i have it enabled

[frosty frost]

Then should be F5 in game

[fierce path]

i can open the console but debugmode doesnt do anything

[frosty frost]

Did you put in devcommands first?

[tawdry ether]

Hi, is there a saloon to find people to play with ?

[frosty frost]

There is a channel for that, no saloons as we are not in wild west 😄 #1024264966712340510

[cobalt glacier]

Is there a simple way to give my friend admind perms so he can use devcommands on my server? every solution i see online is talking about some weird deep appdata file editing

[frosty frost]

Only host can use devcommands

You can go to the file and add his name into the adminlist but they still cant use commands like fly, spawn, or debugmode

[wild kayak]

[spring frigate]

with British accent See this land over here? It will soon be mine.

But seriously i'm planning to move into this island and cover it all with my future base but question is if its even possible to spawn proof to 100% all of it? I take its a difficult and grindy process but its the closest to perfect isolated island i can find in my world and i wonder if task i'm giving myself isn't a bit too ambitious. Is it possible? If so where can i look for tips?

[tacit breach]

Yeah, its totally doable.

[frosty frost]

For sure possible 🙂 campfires will take care of it

[spark shell]

doesnt look too hard, u can spawn proof anything honestly, the waters look shallow so maybe use artisan tables for borders

[frail cave]

yes, it is possible, though some flying enemies like bats and drakes can spawn underwater, where spawnproofing stops working, so not every invasion will be protected against

[spark shell]

they still wont spawn in waters deeper than 2m tho, right?

[frail cave]

pretty sure they do, but i could test it again
(edit: will test it again, one sec)

[tacit breach]

What a great island to work with. Nice find.

[spark shell]

I checked the wiki, u are right, it says bats can spawn on any altitude

[spring frigate]

Bat's I'll endure

I speak here mostly about all raids That can occur to me, note I beated fader

[spark shell]

But it does say -1 for Drake, so those won't spawn in waters deeper than 1m

[spring frigate]

I just don't like my stuff getting damaged, I want to build paradise where I won't die and can run care free with no food buff

[tired root]

I've also had bats spawning in one of my worlds where I made small island base.

Quite old world tho.

[spark shell]

cant stop most annoying raid

[frail cave]

hmm, testing it right now and i'm not getting any bats at a pretty steep little island, wish i knew where i originally tested this

[frosty frost]

Could it be tested by spawning devground location in middle of an ocean? 🤔

[tired root]

I could also test it in that old world, but then again I'm on PTB version currently.

[frail cave]

honestly can't say for certain 😅 there is some weirdness around PoI terrain in general

[tired root]

I can test soon™.

[spark shell]

ye bats spawned middle of ocean too, i just tried

[frosty frost]

With no land, land protected by player base area, or land with no protection?

[spark shell]

i would assume spawned rocks dont count as land (unless they do), so yes

I tried with drakes, they got no spawns

[spring frigate]

Can I somehow measure center of this island in a more nerdy way but to eye ball it?

[frosty frost]

Beams

[tired root]

I will test soon™.

Both raids.

[spring frigate]

Oh wait, ye that right :o

[spring frigate]

Try also ghost one too

[tired root]

Alright. I'm opening the world.

It generates content, haven't played even Ashlands in it.

Ok, result is: bats will spawn, drakes and ghosts/wraiths won't.

[wild kayak]

@ornate finch x box

[ornate finch]

Known issue then. Should be fixed next patch

[wild kayak]

Ok cool it's my first play through and that happened so I'm kinda just stuck

[ornate finch]

You can summon Yagluth manually via commands somewhere else there there are none of those finger rocks, and then you won't crash.

But it will be harder to fight him.

[wild kayak]

Well you use admin commands since the public test went live

[lilac coyote]

It hasn't gone live yet.

[hybrid sphinx]

hey im trying to build an oven but it keeps getting destroyed as soon as I build it

[frosty frost]

Are you placing it on stone or ground foundation?

[hybrid sphinx]

just planks yeah

it needs stone ?

[frosty frost]

You will have to put some stone or raise ground under it for it to touch the furnace, yep

[hybrid sphinx]

can I just build it outside instead ?

[frosty frost]

Sure

[hybrid sphinx]

cool thanks

[terse cedar]

Why does it dig a hole when I'm trying to level ground

When I'm standing on a higher place

[frosty frost]

Are you staying on ground or some build piece?

[terse cedar]

I was standing on a stone 2x2

[frosty frost]

Yeah, the game checks the level of "ground" that is under you, it doesent count build pieces to the height. So it levels to the level the ground is at right below you under the build piece.

[terse cedar]

Ahh that makes sense

[snow ingot]

Quick question: I see lots of ads for servers indicating timed progression as in "a boss is available to be killed every x days" etc. I can't figure out how exactly to do that? Is it a mod? Dev command? I see mods to reset and control "keys" for individual players but I don't want that on my new server. I simply want to make bosses available on a specific timeline. Please help? 😄 thanks ! 🪓 🌲

[frosty frost]

Yeah, no way to do that in vanilla really.

Ask around in #mods-discussion tho, folks there might know what you are looking for 🙂

[snow ingot]

Ok, will do. If it's a mod I can definitely do that, I just haven't found it. Thanks

[frosty frost]

Tho usually its best and easiest to just tell players to not kill bosses before you all decide to do so 🙂

[snow ingot]

hahaha yes and we might end up going to the honor system. Starting a server with friends I've known for years though and 2 of them are the 24/7 ,end the game in a week types 😛 I'm trying to keep them in check for the rest of us lol 😄

[frosty frost]

Haha, allrighty then 😄 Most bosses are not actually necessary for progression tho, just Moder is really. So if they set their mind to it just lockingbosses might not be enough

[lapis terrace]

I only see that type of "progression steps" like
Every sunday, we gather and kill the biome boss together

never seen it in advertisement form 🤔

[compact heath]

On my Vanilla Server/s we just do it via Discord Messages to let people know when we can kill a biome boss, its one of the rules that people have to follow, no mods required. And if someone doesn't follow the rules we can kick them off the server.

[frosty frost]

Yeah that is the usual way to do it 🙂

[lilac coyote]

Yeah, exactly how we played it. We did have someone that didn't play nicely, but it wasn't boss killing that was the problem.

[short yew]

will the wisps kill me

[frosty frost]

Nope

[regal wedge]

Just doing some boat scouting and I know the plains had the mosquitos. Should I be like super far away or can they not come that far from land?

[frosty frost]

I would not get much closer

If they see you they can come quite far over the water

[regal wedge]

oof yeah not gonna risk that. Even at my best right now I imagine they just pop me

[strong cape]

you would get 1shot

[frosty frost]

Yeah, troll armor, and even if you would eat you would be 2 hits max

[regal wedge]

yeah that's what I was thinking. This continent I'm trying to get the ring of is stupid big

Didn't think landmasses were usually this big. Maybe it's just REALLY long.

[strong cape]

really long skinny landmasses seem to be common enough to have one of per seed

[regal wedge]

i expected to see the swamps and mountains I've seen but didn't expect the plains at all

[tired notch]

go in and show em who's the boss

[regal wedge]

do torches need to be lit to prevent spawning?

[tired root]

Nope.

[regal wedge]

awesome. I saw a youtube video that said to use campfires to prevent spawning and just put them under the ground but I came back and all my campfires had been reduced to rocks

[thick comet]

My friend stopped playing and i want to use the same game file is there a way to copy it so i can be the host

[honest parcel]

Any (completely) buried structures now no longer stay supported and break, except wards as far as I know. Another technique is to put torches and hide them inside a beam so mobs don't target them (since no line of sight).

[regal wedge]

The way I have things built, I don't intend for anything to spawn at all within my walls. It's just I recently had stray 1-offs spawning inside my base during raids

[honest parcel]

Yes, if your friend wishes to share the save with you they can go to manage saves, make the save local instead of cloud save, and then go to [Win+R] > AppData/LocalLow/IronGate/Valheim/worlds_local and copy the ".fwl" and ".db" files and send them via email, discord, etc...

[thick comet]

thank you

[honest parcel]

anytime, let me know if it works out. Hopefully I didn't forget any details. Regarding hosting I don't remember all the details but there's a channel for that (#dedicated-server) if I am not wrong.

[full plinth]

Also further, is that how I would do it so my daughter can play on my server with me and use devcommands, etc?

Stupid autocorrect..my above post was to Kalsofur

[thick comet]

Perfect thank you

[honest parcel]

purrfect*, and yw

[honest parcel]

I would take this to #dedicated-server, I honestly do not know that part. All I can remember from my brief research once upon a time was that you needed to add your name(s) to some file which then allows players with said names to access devcommands. I might be totally off though.

[regal wedge]

I have numerous 1 star boars in my pen. Is it possible that they breed and create a 2 star?

Or do I need to find and introduce a 2 star for that to start

[full plinth]

thanks Kalsofur

[lilac coyote]

You'll need at least one 2* to get 2* offspring.

[regal wedge]

tragic. Appreciated

[short yew]

I cant seem to find 2* wolves, not even 1* wolves, am I doing something wrong?

Im searching the tallest mountains I can find, Im killing tons of regular wolves

[subtle parrot]

2* (and possibly 1*) only come out at night

[regal wedge]

What would you say is most important to know for someone entering the swamp for the first time?

[subtle parrot]

Use the poison resistance potion and watch out for the archers

[regal wedge]

The zombie archers are that bad?

[subtle parrot]

They can be sneaky, been shot in the back by starred and it's very painful

[regal wedge]

Does wearing the poison resist helmet and the potion stack or does 1 just override the other?

[subtle parrot]

The higher one is active they don't stack

[regal wedge]

Guess that just means never let my stock of potions get to 0

[subtle parrot]

Always good to have some ready

[honest parcel]

Yeah swamp is unforgiving. Keep a base right outside the edge, somewhere safe so you can keep trying again. Most important thing to know? Doesn't matter if you are wearing end-game gear or completely naked. If the terrain is completely against you, you can find yourself in a very unpleasant situation. The hoe can help with those annoying puddles and deep pools. Do not swim. It is a death sentence.

[short yew]

ohh that would be why

[gray kayak]

Do hearths, ovens, campfires and mortar and pestles need to be directly supported by the ground or stone?

[umbral vigil]

why do high tier biome mobs spawn in your starter zone meadows?

[tired root]

Defeating bosses unlock certain mobs spawning in earlier biomes during night time (despawn at dawn).

[umbral vigil]

huh. so raids aren't the only headache

[tired root]

They are easily avoidable by sleeping over night.

[umbral vigil]

oh, good tip

[tired root]

But yeah they cannot be disabled similarly to how you can disable raids.

[umbral vigil]

i often forget about sleeping when playing solo. so much to do.

[tired root]

Yeah, understandable.
Although night time is usually good time for farming/cooking/smelting/etc.

[marble pagoda]

bit of a technical question but does Fader's fissure attack have a max number of pieces it can interact with at once? I'm running into an issue where I don't take damage while standing in it and trying to troubleshoot

[true steeple]

Aoe instances can only hit up to 100 objects at once

[marble pagoda]

oooh interesting I see. thanks!

[echo sphinx]

hey does someone have any tips against yagluth ?

[frosty frost]

Bring fire res wine, use silver sword, frostner or BM sword, dont use bow

[primal bramble]

is there a command for deleting mist in mistlands?

[marble pagoda]

if you stay on his tailbone he will try to turn around to face you instead of attacking
easiest boss in the game

[frosty frost]

forcedelete mistarea 50000 iirc
Or maybe the number before the mistarea

[echo sphinx]

ok tysm

[echo sphinx]

i'll try ty

[true steeple]

What object have you managed to get 100 of? I can't find anything that I can fit 100 of into a small space that is also immune to fissure's damage.

[marble pagoda]

I'm building a boss fight arena with infinity hammer, meant to be vanilla compatible

[primal bramble]

is there a command for flattening an area around me?

[frosty frost]

No, not really.
Well, there is one, but you risk messing your world.

[old flare]

Any tips for how to beat the bonemass?

Im mining iron and getting stacked rn

[primal bramble]

weak to blunt imo best option if only iron is to take an iron mace a lot of poison resistance potions, he spawns a lot of his minions so be weary of them

Mountain early way<
spirit is also good and frost

so frostner if u can get silver early and if not u can use a bow with frost arrows that u can find in mountains / craft them with freeze glands

but it would mean going early to the mountain biome

[old flare]

Hm

Tbh

Im gonna max out my wepon and shield

And its done

[cobalt glacier]

i have multiple stacks of different types of wood in my inventory?

server restart didnt work, repalcing them didnt work

[lapis terrace]

are you playing the PTB?

[cobalt glacier]

nope

[lapis terrace]

I would probably assume it's a mod issue since you have multiple mods running

#mods-issues

so better to ask there first

[cobalt glacier]

didnt even realize that channel existed

[lapis terrace]

🫡

[karmic charm]

Formating signs makes me confused. Is there a way of organizing chests for dumb people?

that doesn't involve just memory. I'm also forgetful

[frosty frost]

I just stack them on the wall and slap a sign on each one, or overlap one sign on two chests if its an item i am expecting lots of.

[tiny violet]

sleeping is a good way to speed up time. I do understand skipping sleeping because there is so much to do. but if you just planted your farm, and stuck a mead in the fermenter, and filled up all your smelters with ore and coal... sleeping can fast forward those processes and speed up time

[subtle sky]

Normally I go sit by my fireplace to think of what I still can do 🤣

[tiny violet]

lol well sleeping can save you time IRL because 10 ore can be smelted in seconds and crops can turn over quicker and meads which take 2 days in game you can make them ready faster by sleeping twice etc

[iron horizon]

Im having trouble to find boars for the leather scraps

is there a spot where you can find some usually?

[frosty frost]

All around meadows, runestones can have some around sometimes and they also can be in villages.

[iron horizon]

Yeah I am running around like a madman but they are like nowhere to be found for some reason

[frosty frost]

You could tame them and farm the leather scraps if you want to 😄

[iron horizon]

Yeah I am in the process of that too

but I put the pen too far from my base so its not really working I think

[frosty frost]

Yeah, that will not work as well as if you had the pen at your base

[iron horizon]

hey one other thing, how rare is one of those grassy poles?

I just found one but it was surrounded by boars so naturally I destroyed the thing

[frosty frost]

They are really rare, some worlds dont even have any 😅

[iron horizon]

damnit

I wish I had clipped it sooner because it wasnt on it

I now know they drop a thistle and a dandelion

[gaunt tendon]

hey, not sure if this channel is the right place to ask, but i just ate a feast in-game and it completely bugged my game out, died right after eating it and now my whole screen is black whenever load in to the world :c

anyone else faced any similar issues?

[frosty frost]

Thats really weird, are you using any mods?

[gaunt tendon]

only a few QOL mods, never ran into issues before, uninstalled all mods and the problem is still there

[frosty frost]

Did you delete the whole valheim instalation folder? Default uninstall doesent get rid of modded stuff

[gaunt tendon]

oooh lemme try

[frosty frost]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim should be this by default

[gaunt tendon]

then just verify integrity after right?

[frosty frost]

First you should uninstall normally, delete the folder, install again

[boreal cobalt]

is there a limit to how many potion buffs you can have at once?

[frosty frost]

Nope, just cant have 2 of the same type

Like stamina and lingering stamina

[pure mango]

Are beserker axes the end game best for actually cutting wood?

[frosty frost]

Yep

The non enchanted version to be precise.

[pure mango]

What happens when you enchant it?

I mean specifically for this, I know what gems are lol

[frosty frost]

It gains effects, but they dont help with chopping wood, and you can upgrade the un-enchanted version 1 lvl higher.

[pure mango]

Ah

[frosty frost]

Ah, i was already typing that, the enchants do nothing 😄

[pure mango]

Does it gain chop with upgrades, or just durability?

It does

[frosty frost]

It gains chop, otherwise it would not matter much

-# Not that it does matter much anyway, the difference between lvl2 (max enchanted) and lvl3 (max unenchanted) is 3 chop 😄

[iron horizon]

Do you have some tips for going in the burial chambers?

[tired root]

[true steeple]

Don't move too quickly through open rooms, skeletons could hide behind corners and then surround you. Since the ceiling is too low, there's no way to get past enemies inside.

[iron horizon]

I was just in the entrance room and I keep getting swarmed by 4 skeletons

first time I went in I died almost instantly whoops

Idk if its just me but I feel like the shield sucks

like I cannot do much with it

[tired root]

Which shield, round or tower?

[iron horizon]

round one

[tired root]

Do you know how to parry?

[iron horizon]

not with a shield

but thats when your enemy like struggles backwards right?

[tired root]

Yeah it leaves the enemy staggered, which means they take double damage.

You need to time your block just before the hit connects you, which makes loud klang noise and staggers the attacker, given you have enough block armor to parry the attack. But wooden shield should be enough to parry skeletons.

[iron horizon]

yeah I do it occasionally but I cannot reproduce it really

okay Ill try it out

[tired root]

You can practice it against easier enemies like greylings or boars.

Note that you cannot parry with tower shields, but they have higher block armor for regular blocks and knocks enemies back more.

[iron horizon]

ahh okay good to know

but they also slow you down

[tired root]

They do, yes. But they can be useful in burial chambers, as long as you don't get surrounded.

[spring frigate]

what is a range that workbench provides spawn protection oh hostile enemies?

[tired root]

Also, have best foods available when you go in.

[tired root]

20m radius IIRC.

[steel thorn]

Never tried the PTB before, is it something you can seamlessly move in and out of or does it require a new world gen and fresh start?

[tired root]

You can play PTB version with old worlds, so you don't have to start over (unless you want).

Before participating it's recommended to make backups of your save files in case something would go wrong.

[tacit breach]

Stagbreaker.

[tiny violet]

I think it's the same circle radius that you can build within. so you can take out your hammer and visibly see the circle as youre making workbenches

[tacit breach]

Stagbreaker and the later hammers make the tombs, crypts, caves, etc... all a lot easier.

[tiny violet]

^agreed I use stagbreaker and then iron sledge and then the mistlands one also.. but it's personal prefernce. a lot of people dont like how slow the hammers are, but they doe AOE and crowd control which isnt very common in valheim. I like them

[tacit breach]

Yeah, its not like I walk around using them, but inside the tombs/crypts/mines, they are a huge help in making it all easier to deal with.

Demolisher, btw. I am currently using it, so its easy for me to remember. Plus I just love the irony of the tree of life being its symbol.

[silver storm]

Guys any tips for those castles in asslands?

[tiny violet]

||my favorite way to enter is by going with 10 wood, hoe, and stone. build workbench, and raise ground until you can hop over the wall|| ||i usually usae at least some magic to wipe things out from a distance with fireballs. try to take out ballistas, spawners, warlocks etc||

[silver storm]

Alr, and any tips for making a base in the asslands?

💀

[tiny violet]

make it inside one of those fortresses. theyre impenetrable. if you enter the way I said and leave the front door sealed

[silver storm]

Ok thanks bro

[tiny violet]

welcome. good luck!

[tacit breach]

Pretty much how I do it all throughout the Mistlands. Little dvergr forts every where.

[tiny violet]

I usually have a backup portal not too far away. ill often mine into a big rock a little bit and just stick a portal like in/under a rock before i make an actual base inside the fortress

[silver storm]

👍

[tacit breach]

I have a feeling I am going to be glad we have so many mats we can make multiple sets of Mistlands gear going into the Azz lands.

[silver storm]

Yeah, if i beat this HARD game, i WILL like throw a party or smth

[tiny violet]

lol Ashlands is difficult to solo. getting my first big haul of flametal by myself was really difficult. but it was the summer time before they patched Ashlands and made it a lil easier. when the flametal pillars would sink much more quickly

[silver storm]

And yeah (munin or hugin idk) told ja to prepare for WAR,

I had to use cheats ONCE

LOL a 1 star skeleton vroke my portal

In asslands ofc

[tiny violet]

yeah my buddy and I both died during our first beach landing. we had a portal down. both woke up in our beds. when we went back to the portal and found it disconnected (they broke it on the other side) we semi- crashed out for a bit before we built a new Drakkar and started sailing back down lol

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I kind of got into Azzlands about a year ago, even made my first base, but had to stop. So this play through will be my first time really learning the ins and outs of surviving the Azzlands.

[tiny violet]

I find it mostly a place you get in, get what you need, and get out lol. dont want to be lingering there. not exactly the most hospitable place to make a base or anything. not that it cant be done. but not best suited for it lol. even if an area is clear, shit can just start spawning and next thing you know there's like 2 morgens, 2 valks, starred askvin and charred etc and you start running low on rested time... it's just not a place you want to chill in longer than you need lmao

[tacit breach]

Heh, even in the Mistlands you can build a base to chill in. Most of the time. Azzlands are not exactly the kind of aesthetics I want to be looking at a lot.

[sage pasture]

there's a spot where I'm trying to build a house in the plains, but the war drum music is constantly playing.... I'm not in any combat at all and once I leave the area it stops. Any idea what's happening?

[lilac coyote]

Was it a Fuling village?

[twilit nymph]

my map is from legacy , am i able to find pet rocks or do i have to start a fresh world for that?

[echo sparrow]

should spawn in areas that are not explored yet, provided you have not explored the entire map

[twilit nymph]

i assume at one point i used commands to reveal my map would that screw it over?

map was from before mistlands

[echo sparrow]

I actually DON'T know the answer to that--whether you ACTUALLY have to physically visit with your character to generate or if the revealing alone would do it

[twilit nymph]

ill hunt on my friends server i play just incase then haha

[onyx kernel]

Do Greydwarves usually spawn inside of Hildir's bubble

because thats been happening to me and im very confused

[lapis terrace]

no

and they should just go outside and be dosile inside her bubble

[twilit nymph]

i died last night afk inside bogwitchs hut farming my surtlings :/

[onyx kernel]

weird

[twilit nymph]

thought i was being smart afking in there since i dug a surtling spawner literally next to her

came back to a full inv of coal and about 120 cores

any tips or guides reccomended for serpent hunting? being out on the ocean last 3 storms and havnt found one

is there any hard spawns or is it just random during night/storms?

[spark shell]

random, but serpents spawned due to storms will not despawn

[spark shell]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Spawn_zones
scroll down to the bottom, it specifically mentions how serpent spawn works

[twilit nymph]

ty

[karmic hearth]

At night also increases your chances. And it might help not sailing at full speed.

[sharp magnet]

true and the serpents that spawn at night despawn at dawn

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I often spot them so far behind I can barely tell they are there, so have to back up or turn around. So I go at base speed.

[terse cedar]

Are feasts worth it if you are solo?

[true steeple]

Just as worth it as they are for groups

[frail cave]

you get all 10 portions to yourself :>

[terse cedar]

but are they worth it compared to regular food

[true steeple]

They have an equal amount of health and stamina so if you want a more specific ratio of stats they can help there. Using one health food, one stamina food and one feast went well in my previous playthrough.

[quasi vault]

Sea fearer feast is often unlocked rather early and will be much better than your swamp food and the best feast you have access to is worth most of the time

[formal sentinel]

Hypothetically if I wanted to build in the mistlands would be building higher be better rather than on the ground floor

Also are there late game feasts that do more than the first 4 feasts accessible

[quasi vault]

Killing each bosses from the elder unlock a new better feast

Higher might be safer but less convenient and you can't farm there, lower is more convenient but more dangerous and you can farm

[formal sentinel]

Do the Gahlls (idk how to spell them) have a max height they can fly? So when I unlock the ||balistas|| would that be the best time to use those

[quasi vault]

Unsure about their height but they will surely be easier to see and kill from higher especially if you want to use those

[formal sentinel]

I’m assuming building a base high up (mostly just for the portal) the flying ticks are the only issue from that high up

[quasi vault]

maybe seekers could fly to you but yeah pretty much

[frail cave]

seekers don't start flying until they're aggrod so gjalls are the only ones who may come sniffing around unprovoked

[formal sentinel]

Dont seekers mostly hover rather than fly tho I don’t remember them being high up like the gaals

[quasi vault]

They go to you when they are on to you

[formal sentinel]

So basically a non issue unless I’m being tailed from the ground I plan on building on a high enough rock they don’t agro

Also is stone relatively safe at mist-lands level

[quasi vault]

Cool project, not many people build in the mistlands, can't say I ever did other than farms, good luck

[formal sentinel]

Or should I try and get the black marble

[quasi vault]

look better IMO destroying the buildings you come accross with a stone cutter is a nice way to get yourself some metal and marble for the build

[fair shore]

Anyone know of any EU modded server thats any good?

[lilac coyote]

You could have a look in #1024264966712340510

[formal sentinel]

All it needs is a stone cutter? Or will a forge be needed too

[fair shore]

Took a peak and thought I'd also ask in an active chat 🙂

[quasi vault]

For the bridges yes or you destroy the base but it takes a long time to fall apart so I'd rather just go for the round towers unless you need iron

[solid lake]

Hi everyone, I have a question about the public test.
If I create a new world with a new character, when the official version comes out, will I be able to continue playing in my world normally?

[quasi vault]

yes

[frail cave]

yes

[formal sentinel]

yes

[solid lake]

thanks, in that case it will just be a matter of changing the version to the default one in the Steam property file, right?

[quasi vault]

Don't even need to switch really, when it goes out of PTB the PTB is the live version

[terse cedar]

You didn't just use 3 stamina foods?

[solid lake]

ok, thanks and good gaming everyone

[true steeple]

I normally use 2 but wanted to try feasts

And I’m not good enough for 3 stamina food

[regal wedge]

If you get stuck in terrain, is there a way to get out of it?

Like if I went into this BC and came out, I assume I'd be stuck in this rock

[stoic trench]

Usually just sprinting and jumping will get you out

[tough hare]

If you're stuck inside the rock, logging out and back in again may help.
if that doesn't, enable dev commands and use the fly command to see of that helps.

Another option might be to just mine the rock down?

[regal wedge]

I gave it a try and thought about mining the rock but in this case, the rock was so deep into the hole that when I came out, I spawned on the outside of it. Had it happen with a tree earlier where it launched me out

[crisp notch]

wondering how do i get into public test server havent done it since ashlands also wondering if it still corrupts ur saves if you do so

[lilac coyote]

PTB has never corrupted saves to be honest. Though the instructions are available in #valheim-public-test

When is a good time to cull your farm animals and how many should you cull down to? Idek how many I have at this point but I'd wager its around 20

Was thinking maybe down to 6 or 8 seemed good for fast repopulation

[spark shell]

depends on how big the enclosure is really
also depends on what animal

[regal wedge]

It's around 30x30

[tacit breach]

In general, I organize them out into 4 pairs, with enough distance between them to allow for maximum offspring. Best to check the wiki for those actual distances.

[spark shell]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Taming
u can check here but basically there is a limit on creatures of same type within certain meters
like boars u can have 5 within 10 meters of each before they stop breeding

[regal wedge]

OK so im approaching my limit for sure

[spark shell]

or you can just make breeder buildings, those are very effective, though kinda awkward logically

[regal wedge]

I should probably cull down to 6 knowing that

[tacit breach]

Thats as a solo player, I adjust those numbers based upon how many I am playing with, so I might go full industrial production for 5 or more people on my server.

(IE the breeder buildings Manicent mentions.)

[regal wedge]

Nah im just a solo kinda player really. I might get into servers later but I wanna "beat" the game before that

[spark shell]

I just make breeders coz I love building LOL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T2aKnEMKd4
heres a basic design that I usually edit for my need, if you want

[tacit breach]

As a solo player, 4 pairs on the ground will be fine. Especially when they are 2 stars. You just have to keep remembering, if your going to be at your base a while, you probably should also be breeding.

With the above breeders, you just have to remember to keep the food supplied.

[deft fable]

I have never been so close to feeding the world seed into a decoder to find the bloody merchant, LOL

Still no sign of him. logging off for the night 😄

[tacit breach]

He is likely close to one of the two you already found.

[deft fable]

Good shout. I'll head to Hildir and poke around there on the next voyage 🙂

[cobalt glacier]

is it normal to not be able to dig further down than this? it looks like theres more copper beneath but the ground simply refuses 2 break

[spark shell]

u can only dig a max of 8m down from original height

[cobalt glacier]

🫡

[tulip flume]

Is this a bad idea? will they keep respawning and hitting my base here? or is it because I haven't killed them yet? there is a swamp nearby and I want to put a teleporter here

[obtuse vector]

Just going to ask a clarification question. So my main character is named Chorg, he's on Ashlands and I have him on vanilla.

I wanted to play on a friend's server so I used my secondary character, Kalder, to join the PTB and play on that server.

If I change off the beta, can I continue playing with Chorg on vanilla without any complications? I don't want to see any PTB spoiler content at all, and I hope my main character's progression doesn't get spoiled

[spark shell]

kill the ones that are attacking,
then hide the workbench with walls (wood walls work), as long as they dont see it, you should be fine

[tulip flume]

I just noticed that there are 2 spawner one is surprisingly close, if I break these 2, THey won't be attacking me or resp[awn near the tower is that correct?

[tiny violet]

you'll just have to enable and disable the beta steam launch option between using characters... up until the day that the patch goes live and then they will both be on the same newest patch

[tulip flume]

🥹 I am fuxked

Any way to despawn them?

[tired root]

You have atgeir. Do a secondary swipe.

[pure mango]

A morgen hit me so hard I clipped through the putrid hole and fell like 100 miles onto some lava and died

That move wasnt on the wiki, is there a counter for it

[tulip flume]

Yeah I just deleted all of them. atgeir is quite good for crowd controll xD

[boreal cobalt]

do traps work on bosses?

[dry wigeon]

Hello, i ahve a question, so the Valheim dedicated server app should be always up so my friends can join my server?

[lapis terrace]

as long as the program is running and your PC is connected to the internet and has power

yes

[blissful nacelle]

Wondering if it is normal for smoke to clip through building like this:

[lapis terrace]

yes

[blissful nacelle]

Hmm

Had a similar bug in Cyberpunk, maybe I got traumatized from that

[dry wigeon]

is there any way to keep the server up without the velheim dedicated server app running all the time?

[lapis terrace]

only way is to get a 3rd party hosting or if you run it on a spare machine

3rd party hosting isn't free tho

but running it on a diffrent machine is possible

[dry wigeon]

ok tysm

[boreal cobalt]

are yggdrasil roots supposed to regenerate when you take the extractors off?

[frosty frost]

They regenerate even with them in, just slowly 🙂
1 sap per 400 seconds and it stores up to 50

[weak glen]

Hi Guys. Need some help. Some random dude appeared in my world (my own mistake), and had a summened troll with him, a giant fire thing. I changed my password and the dude is gone, but the thrall is still there and are crashing everything in my base. How do I get rid of it? I'm in the bronze age so I'm not that strong yet

[frosty frost]

Do you mind using commands?

[weak glen]

No but I don't know how to do it (Im really a noob haha)

[weak glen]

I'm checking how to use commands now. What command can I use to get him off?

[tired root]

You can use killenemies.

[frosty frost]

Once you enable console by putting -console in steam properties go into your world, type devcommands, then debugmode and after that press K. That will kill all enemies in are around you (including not yet tamed mobs tho so if you are currently taming something i will try to provide different solution or you would have to sacrifice them). After that type debugmode again and devcommands again to dissable everything.

[weak glen]

OMG thank you so much!!!!!

[frosty frost]

-# Tbh what Joel said would be easier xD but i was in middle of typing all that sooooo...

[tired root]

Asatru aggressively typing.

Me: "Just do this duh."

[gray kayak]

uh.. when i use printseeds, I get this output: "-2072821281/V6VBbaiNxk"
It doesn't match up with the seed code format at https://valheim-map.world/. It gives me the result for either V6VBbaiNxk or 2072821281, which don't match my world.

[frosty frost]

How old is your world?

[gray kayak]

i just started playing 1-2 weeks ago

it's a friend's dedicated server - fresh unexplored world

[frosty frost]

Hmm, thats weird, should be the letters+numbers one, i assume you dont have access to the world files?

[gray kayak]

nope

[frosty frost]

Ask your friend for them then, on the website you can upload them and get the correct world regardless of seed

[gray kayak]

i don't know if i can get my friend to give it to me lol

[frosty frost]

Are you not looking for the map view after asking all people who play that world if thats ok?

[gray kayak]

heh

[frosty frost]

Then its probably better it doesent work for you...

[gray kayak]

friend is barely playing these days... i'll see if i can persuade friend to let me have it

[sharp current]

Is the progress/world from the PTB carried over to the live build after patch is released?

[frosty frost]

Yep, the last patch ptb will eventually have will become the new live version

[sharp current]

thank you 🙏

[sharp magnet]

how isnt their atgeir broken with 0 durability

[true steeple]

It’ll be less than 1, rounded to 0.

I think blocking can take off small amounts of durability in order to reach this state, I can’t test right now though.

[sharp magnet]

interesting, i just saw this somewhere and got curious

[subtle parrot]

Could be possible they took their ss while the red bar was blinked instead of flashing

[true steeple]

The atgeir is equipped since it’s got a blue slot

[subtle parrot]

Ah yeh true

[boreal cobalt]

is trollfish rare?

[tired root]

They're found commonly in shores of black forest.

[boreal cobalt]

I've been trying to get one for 20 minutes

they don't seem to spawn

[sharp magnet]

yeah thats how it works when you are looking for something

[boreal cobalt]

I'm not sure I understand how fishing works

[sharp magnet]

what part is confusing? i can try my best explaining nvm they got you😄

[tired root]

They require certain bait, regular doesn't cut it. You need to craft the bait that requires troll trophy (Mossy IIRC), all baits are craftable in Preparation table.

[loud rapids]

Find fish in the water, throw fishing line, wait for the fish to be baited to bite and reel in right as the fish bites the hook
You need different types of bait for different types of fish.

[tacit breach]

Yeah, troll fish are not rare, just a pain to catch when your skill is low. It is probably easier to see, and catch them, from a boat, than from shore, though.

[boreal cobalt]

how do I know when it bites the hook?

[tacit breach]

Thats kind of hard to describe. You may want to check out a you tube video on fishing in Valheim.

[tired root]

You see the small waves around the bait and hear that small blub sound, in that moment you start to reel and they get caught in your bait.

[tacit breach]

A decent description.

[smoky river]

guys i should be just able to give over my worlddata to my friend so he can boot up the server right? or ist it more complicated than that
i went into locallow and wolds_local

[tired root]

Also, while you reel the fish tries to struggle away which is seen as fast movement, during the struggling reeling costs significally more stamina. Not reeling doesn't cost stamina but it won't regen it either, and fish cannot lenghten the reel.

[topaz latch]

quick question while on my way to find Moder i found a 2 star boar (finally) started taming it, but i forgot my harpoon at home, will the pig despawn if i sail off to go get it, i looked online but i got mixed answers

[true steeple]

Boars don’t despawn

[topaz latch]

ooh perfect, thanks a lot

[olive bison]

If you dont want to wait for the hook, or cant see it properly, you can just continuously cast and reel back in, until you get a hook. Doing this doesnt waste extra bait.
(Make sure to use the troll-trophy bait)

And the reeling earns fishing XP, even when no fish is hooked!

[broken burrow]

its not burning any coal so itll smelt infinitely idk why.

i dont want it to even tho its good for me bc i dont have to even build the charcoal kiln. someone help me out here please lmao

[viral cave]

Do you have mods installed?

Mods hook into the game's code rather unpredictably and can break random stuff like this

[frail cave]

also, low chance but i should ask just in case: have you ever used the skiptime command (with negative numbers) before? due to the way the game handles time-based processes, doing so can mess some things up a lil

What would best armor set up be for ashlands if u want to stay nimble and quick but also not get 2 shot by more powerful mobs

[broken burrow]

yea idk which one would do it tho but its wtv i can still do it for the aesthetics 😎 it dont bother me much thanks for lmk mods can do that tho

[frail cave]

Also for if you both use magic and melee

All of it together, I'm finding it difficult to find the perfect set up for amror

[true steeple]

Mobs only 2-shot you if you're slow enough to let them hit twice

[frail cave]

Yeah but I run out of stamina a fair bit, again using magic and melee im still learning what the best food combos are to keep a good amount of all health stamina and eiter at the same time

[viral cave]

Okay, Scales

[frail cave]

I use 2-3 staffs, a sword, beserker axes and a bow

[sharp magnet]

moments before disaster

[frail cave]

What's ur question?

[sharp magnet]

how did this happen

[viral cave]

Did you perhaps mean to forward to #screenshots or #memes-and-clips

[viral cave]

So uh
What am I looking at

[frail cave]

Fr, I'm tryna get help that pushed my entire thing completely off screen

And its not even a help question

[sharp magnet]

feasts could help with that

[pure mango]

That happened to me today, I mob hit me through a wall lol.
Then I fell very far onto some lava (because you know, double f*** you) and obviously died

[frail cave]

There's so many I'm still learning the best combos, and then same goes for armor there's so many

[viral cave]

Judging from this loadout, you're probably trying to do too many things at once. You have a sword and berserkir axes, all while trying to run a full magic build.

[frail cave]

I dont even really understand what a "good" amount of health or stamina is or what the basic should be for ashlands to have at a minimum

[frail cave]

Correct I hate limiting myself

And I find all aspects fun

[viral cave]

Eitr comes at the expense of health and stamina, which means if you do both weapons and magic, you should expect to be mediocre at both. Focusing on only one would help tremendously.

[pure mango]

Basically this, I would play devils advocate a little bit and say because stamina and eitr recharge separately, having both magic and non magic weapons means you can use one whilst the other charges up.

[frail cave]

Magic doesn't have enough to be used on its own, its not as good as it was made out to be from what I was told before I got it ngl I'm fairly disappointed but I find 3 staffs to be particularly useful and 2 I like to keep on me at all times

[frail cave]

Yes this is also correct, I find myself running out of eitir then using stam to gain a distance then using my eitir up and rebuilding stam but if my stam goes out at the wrong time it can screw me bad

If both go out at same time I'm dead

[pure mango]

Hmm... magic doesnt do the same single target dps of melee weapons I find. But its so good in groups, especially when you get the Ashlands staffs.
I usually keep a melee weapon in my hotbar to smash on annoying mobs heads I just want to be rid of.

[frail cave]

Ice staff and staff of the wild are goated in the ashlands

But I love running Melee on top of them

I like the axes and the sword is always fun

[pure mango]

Well you could do a medium or heavy armor build without blood magic, since you wont need staff of protection and you need to save your hp.

Elemental only spellsword. 1 of each food type.

[frail cave]

I dont use any blood magic anymore I found it all to be useless after queen

But 1 eitir food is never enough

Thats the main issue, and no platters or feasts give more than what 35-40 eitir on top of the max what 75-80 health and stam

[pure mango]

For elemental magic with magic greens, thats enough to get some hits in with the elemntal staff. You will have to switch back and forth a lot still though.

[frail cave]

The game pushes you to run 1 class or another but you should be able to mix it up

[pure mango]

From what our bossman was saying earlier, the devs dont seem to want us to mix it up.

[frail cave]

A heavy armor is no good cuz ur using more stamina when and can run out before u finish building eiter and you cant go melee or you'll use even more stam

[sharp magnet]

2 eitr 1 health? if you also add some stamina potions it could work

[frail cave]

This is the best option ive found so far but its still mediocre asf

And the best stam potion is actually garbage ngl

[sharp magnet]

or eitr 1 health 1 mistlands feast

[true steeple]

You don't need any health if you can use staff of protection though

[sharp magnet]

doesnt it require health to use?

[frail cave]

Besides the fact it takes ur health to use it

[true steeple]

It takes a percentage of current health so it never kills you

[frail cave]

Ive actually killed myself tryna give myself a bubble

Tf you mean

I clicked it once it actually went off twice and I died

So dont even gimme that nonsense

[sharp magnet]

since mistlands feast gives 65 stamina, health and 33 eitr id add that to the food list

[frail cave]

sounds more like something hit you between the cast and the bubble being applied but i could be wrong, not a magic user myself

There's a feast that does 75 health 75 stam 35 eiter and then I eat a 90 eiter 16 stam 26 health and a 95 eiter 15 stam 24 health food and that with lingering stam and major heals is best way to go but it still is a HUGE drag sometimes

[frail cave]

I did it in base before portaling

There was nothing to hit me

[frail cave]

Maybe i just need to get better at using my eiter and stamina more wisely too idk

[sharp magnet]

get skeletons in the ashlands cuz you will always find a use for some meatshields, im talking about the staff

[frail cave]

They die to fast

[sharp magnet]

give them the shield?

[frail cave]

Still to quick

[sharp magnet]

if you upgrade your bloodmagic by making a greydwarf farm they`ll be stronger since every lvl increases their abilities

[frail cave]

Its like 30

And ive not had it that long either tbh

I die a lot and its one my highest skill lvls sadly

That could be from queen fight tho too ngl

I'm still learning lmfao

[sharp magnet]

we all learn something every day

[rare wave]

hello gamers. got question. i found cool island to build my house but it counts as a plain and I'm little worried that i will get attacked by goblins. can they even come on the island?

[frail cave]

if it isn't properly spawnproofed, they can still spawn there, otherwise you're good.
hard to tell from just the map but the nearby shore looks far enough that i don't think anything but invasion enemies will try to swim over, if it's even close enough for them to spawn at all

[narrow lodge]

when i try to join my friends server (we both are on steam) it always says failed to connect. i have tried everything from verifying files to restarting routers and whatnot

[sharp magnet]

AI says that you should ensure both your game and the server are updated to the same version

and for steam only servers host should uncheck the crossplay option when starting the server

[calm moon]

how do i turn off the performance thing top left?

[frosty frost]

F2

[thick agate]

try F2

[calm moon]

ahh thankss so much

[pure mango]

Does blocking do anything when you have a protection bubble up

As in, is damage reduced by your shield first, or does it go 'through' the bubble first then your shield, so the bubble takes all the damage

[true steeple]

It won’t reduce the damage taken by the bubble

[pure mango]

And if your bubble is up, you wont take any damage, worst thing that can happen is the bubble bursts

So its not really doing anything, apart from staggering the mob if you parry?

[true steeple]

Yes, you’re just blocking/parrying a 0 damage hit

[woeful rose]

You can parry through the bubble though, and if you do you are essentially immune to getting staggered out of the parry

[flat bloom]

would the tar blob attack Yagluth boss ??

[true steeple]

Bosses are friendly to all creatures that aren’t friendly to the player

[obtuse vector]

so I was told it was characters that have difficulty being reverted to the non beta version of the game (not the public test) I did not know that your in game servers also have trouble reverting to the non public test. Is there a way to revert an in game server to a non-public test?

[frosty frost]

Did you make a back up before starting the world in ptb?

[obtuse vector]

no ):

I'm so sad you have to make a backup first to do it. I only ever played solo, no mods no betas no nothing. I joined a server that forced me to use PTB and joined my world and now it has to be PTB that sucks

[frosty frost]

You could still find an automatic backup maybe, look into the in game save manager

[obtuse vector]

where would that be?

[frosty frost]

From main menu, start, and there on bottom you should see "manage saves" button

[obtuse vector]

I'm trying out a save from like 2 days ago.... it actually seems like it works😲

So this really saved me this time, and you were a lifesaver Asatru. Is there a way I can force it to save before I swap to PTB in the future? So I can keep an exact time stamp instead of a lucky backup?

[frosty frost]

Before going into ptb again go to the save manager again, select the world and character you want, press the move to local button and then move it back to cloud, it will make a copy of your world and player files in local folder and your ptb progress will be saved on cloud. 🙂

[obtuse vector]

I just saved your message as a text file on my home screen so when I move to PTB from now on I will follow those instructions. Thank you so much, what a very polite and helpful viking comrade!

[stoic trench]

Another Asatru W

[steel thorn]

sooo I think my save file got corrupted when I was transferring it to my new PC... If it's unrecoverable, is there save/seed I could use which has content completed up to beginning the Ashlands? Or maybe dev commands to recover what I lost on a new world?

[spark shell]

@steel thorn see if this is of any help to you
u can get a copy of saves from steam as well from this link (if you cloud save was enabled)
https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp?appid=892970&index=0
it will also have a few older versions if u wanna start from that but you'll prolly lose a few hours of progress

[gray kayak]

is the world save data in the .fwl file? or the .db file?

[spark shell]

you need both together, they will be in pairs with matching names

[steel thorn]

it seems my steam cloud never saved anything from Valheim... I have other game files in the cloud but not this one. No idea why

if I have to start over fresh its not tragic, I didnt build anything substantial, its mostly just the progression and the mats I farmed. That took some time, especially since I have limited free time

[spark shell]

was your cloud saving turned off? 🤔
if you dont have any saves in that case, I suppose your best bet is either

1. Get a save file from someone else as you planned
2. Use devcommands to spawn whatever
   😦

[gray kayak]

So i just need these 2 files to copy a world from a friend's dedicated server?

[spark shell]

yeah

[gray kayak]

Ok. Ty!

[steel thorn]

think Ill just do the devcommand thing

[pure mango]

When call to bear arms is fully released, is there a delay, as in the patch will go live in 2 weeks, or does it just happen as soon as announced?

[gray kayak]

i'm guessing the .fwl file is for the game-generated map? and the .db file is for player-actions/items on the map?

[true steeple]

The fwl file has information such as world name, seed and world modifiers, probably to exist as a smaller file to load for the world select screen. The db file contains the world's objects and other data to be used in-game.

[past hollow]

i request major assistance

[indigo laurel]

will the call to arms update be compatible with existing worlds?

[true steeple]

Yes, all updates work with old worlds

[jade rapids]

But you might miss out on stuff, since new stuff from an update, will only spawn in un-discovered area of your world

[true steeple]

Call to arms doesn’t add anything too important to world generation and new creatures spawn in already loaded areas.

[jade rapids]

Adds new POI

[true steeple]

It’s not a particularly useful one

[jade rapids]

To you, maybe.

[frail cave]

Can you add the update to a current world before it comes out? That's worded roughly, I seen this youtuber he made a world a couple months ago and Is already using the call of arms on said world

[prisma bronze]

Will there be another fist weapon in the frost lands?

[jade rapids]

Sure, but you can miss out on stuff, if you've progressed to far into your old world

[frail cave]

How so

[jade rapids]

We have no clue

[frail cave]

Like what would I miss possibly

[true steeple]

Equipment too weak for your progression in your current world

[jade rapids]

If new buildings are added, they will only spawn in un-discovered part of the world.

[frail cave]

Oh that is fine lol

[frail cave]

Ah ok also fine we havnt explored all thst much in the grand scheme of things when we zoom out in the map

How would one put said update onto a world right now when its not come out

[jade rapids]

Join the PTB

[frail cave]

The wha

[jade rapids]

check id:customize

[frail cave]

Still confused

[true steeple]

#valheim-public-test message

[frail cave]

Ah

[jade rapids]

I would suggest you wait for the public release of the update, then

[frail cave]

I dont own the world my technologically Inclined brother does

So he would do it i just gotta figure out how for him and ye

[jade rapids]

There will be bugs in the PTB, and things can corrupt the world and character, so read carefully the notes from the devs, and take precautions.

[frail cave]

Ah I see 👀

[prisma bronze]

Speculated frost release date?

[frosty frost]

Well, no official info about that, but i personally really dont think it will be this year.

[prisma bronze]

Dang

Silksong release before valheim update

[frosty frost]

There is an update curently in the public test tho 😄

[mossy quest]

Hey so i have a server problem im hoping someone can help with!!

i recently learned if i use crossplay it forces my server to be more local. I was having issues with people joining and my lag jumping really high to 300. now I have someone that is not able to join at all if im using crossplay (we tried their crossplay both on and off, using join codes and friend steam invites, but it only works if i turn off crossplay again. any ideas?

[frosty frost]

If you dont need it dont use crossplay, it introduces a bit more latency.

[mossy quest]

it was a dev that told me to put on cross play. it actually helps a lot playing with ppl from around the world

[frosty frost]

Ok then, tho i am afraid i dont know what to do with the connection problems.

[mossy quest]

well thanks anyway. but yeah the crossplay forces the server to be in the usa i think. my ping went from 300 to 0 when i have it on and also better for almost everyone else but this one

[boreal cobalt]

How do I kill fader? It was going well until I got him under 50% health and it suddenly got a lot harder, I keep dying

[frail cave]

Im dreading that fight, we are closer than I want to admit to being ready to summon him

[ornate brook]

What’s your kit

[frail cave]

Hopefully this helps 😅😅

[frosty frost]

Why would you use the AI overview...

[frail cave]

Idfk its just Google

How Google wants to do things is up to Google not me I dont chose how Google works

Google has always been Google

[frosty frost]

You could just use the wiki that pretty much always has up to date info 😄

[frail cave]

Where do you think Google gets its information from? Totally not the most viewed websites for the topic you are searching or anything that wouldn't make any sense

[ornate brook]

I like how 80% of that summary is wrong

[frosty frost]

From the tens or hundreds of sites that have few keywords that fit

And most of which were not updated in years

[frail cave]

I see yall talking crap about how its wrong but I don't see you saying what's wrong about it or the right answer to the guys question in return lmfao, says a lot

[frosty frost]

For example that its resistant to fire, its not resistant, its immune, asksvins are not summoned creatures as it claims... etc...

[frail cave]

Immune and resistance ance are basically synonyms lmfao

[ornate brook]

I’m more just waiting for him to respond to what his toolkit is so that I can help and maximize their winrate

[tired root]

In Valheim they aren't.

[frail cave]

And yeah we know askvins arent summoned but its obviously saying you can tame them and use them to fight

[frosty frost]

No they arent in the slightest

[frail cave]

If a mob is resistant to something you may as well assume its immune and use something else

[frosty frost]

Summoned creatures like trolls or asksvins... yes it is totaly telling us they are tamable

[tired root]

Resistant = takes 0,5x damage from the source
Immune = takes no damage from the source.

[frail cave]

Its saying you can use them to fight its common sense to pick thru the word choices of an AI

[frosty frost]

Again, no

[frail cave]

Yall just like arguing lmfao

[frosty frost]

We just dont like spreading missinformation 🙂

[frail cave]

Again Noone is saying the correct things to prove what it says to do is wrong ur just pointing out an AI poor word choices

So yeah ur just arguing to argue

[tired root]

I'd stray from using AI for game info and use wiki instead in any game honestly.

[frail cave]

.5 and 0 are pretty similar lmfao

[frail cave]

Again

[frosty frost]

Now you must be just trolling...

[tired root]

0,5 is half, 0 is none. Dunno what confuses you.

[frail cave]

If something does 70 dmg and it takes .5% of that dmg it may as well be 0 and common sense will tell you to use something else

[frail cave]

But again ^

[ornate brook]

🪤

[tired root]

0,5 is 50%, not 5%. That's basic maths.

[frail cave]

So keep arguing to argue the fine details and not the actual problem the dude needed help with

[frosty frost]

Yep, just trolling

[frail cave]

Not a single word from any of u on how to properly fight fader just complaining how an ai used a couple poor words in its explanation

Garbage community

[ornate brook]

Do you want to know?

Melee or ranged or magic

I’m prolly the most qualified person to talk about fader strategy hit me up

[frail cave]

Ur the only one i see not arguing for no reason too, weird how that works

[frosty frost]

He is the only one you didnt respond to, weird how that works 😄

[frail cave]

Also funny how Google definition totally mentioned ranged magic, odd, but yeah it sucks the frost staff at a range just isnt accurate I was really hoping for new frost staff like the new fire staff

[frail cave]

Cuz he wasnt arguing lmfao

What gear were you using? Some tips that includes both main gameplay tactics:
Fire resistance helps alot against the fire damage. Mobility meads help a lot dodging the meteors and jumping over fires (Lightfoot and Ratatosk). Stamina/HP meads recommended.
For melee fast hitting axes or big damage with 2h sword secondary work well, or any other weapon that doesn't deal pierce. Frost arrows are useful if using bow, not most damage dealing but can help in situations you don't get into melee range. For taking less damage against his melee attacks, Root Harnesk is useful.
For mageplay, using Staff of Wild and Trollstav together is well working strategy and safe one, but having other staves like Frost staff or Dundr can help too. Staff of Protection is BiS for defence.

[frail cave]

Is mistwalker and frost staff only frost weapons in the game?

Not including frostnier

[frosty frost]

Frost arrows

[frail cave]

Yeah meh lol, that leads me to a different question tho, say ur using frost arrows as example and u have lightning bow do the dmg stack so ur dealing both frost and lightning ?

[true steeple]

The damages of the arrow and bow are added together

[frail cave]

So would that make frost arrows better than charred or carapace in ashlands or does the lack of pierce dmg bring its worth down to much

[tired root]

Against pierce resistant enemies, yes Frost arrows are better.

[frail cave]

My friend is going to love this new information

Are pierce resistant enemies more or less dominant in ashalnds than non resistant

[tired root]

All charred (including ||Reto||), lava blobs, Morgen and Fader resist pierce.

[true steeple]

Charred twitchers and marksmen are pierce resistant but have a low base health so pierce is still ok against them

[frail cave]

Not askvin?

And ok so peirce resistant is clearly more dominant

So overall frost arrows is a better option

[tired root]

Asksvin, Valkyries and Voltures are not resistant.

[frail cave]

I figured valkyries and vultures weren't but didnt think askvin would be

[true steeple]

Necks aren't pierce resistant, although nobody should be finding that out

[frail cave]

I hunt them for target practice

And to lvl bow skill

[prisma bronze]

In gonna assume your late game, me and my friend just rolled up kited him and won. I honestly can’t think of a good strategy against him besides just winning. Fire resist potion 🙂

[frail cave]

Oh yeah lol

[indigo laurel]

[frail cave]

You mean valkyries askvin or necks

[prisma bronze]

Necks😔

[indigo laurel]

[prisma bronze]

Flamesteel

[tired root]

||Combat ruins in Meadows||.

[frail cave]

And necks give you trouble?

[prisma bronze]

I was talking about green flame dog when I replied

[frail cave]

Ok that was my question

Uhhhh green flame dog, doesn't ring a bell 😭

[prisma bronze]

Fader/fenrisulfr

[frail cave]

He's a dragon brother

And i havnt fought him yet

[prisma bronze]

He walks in four legs and when he barks meteors come down

[frail cave]

Just cuz he cant fly dont mean he not a dragon

[prisma bronze]

Then he’s a worm

[frail cave]

Can you fly?

[prisma bronze]

No, but I walk on two legs

[frail cave]

Worm

[prisma bronze]

Neck

[frail cave]

hybridization of reptilian and other animal features, appearing in global folklore as a monstrous, often winged, fire-breathing creature with scales, a long tail, and powerful claws, though variations exist such as the wingless, serpentine dragons of East Asian cultures is what makes a dragon, a dragon, hence therefore fader is a dragon

[prisma bronze]

Fader is a neck

My friends/culture say so

[frail cave]

Fader is the trex to the chicken in the meme screaming at the necks "REMEMBER, WHO, YOU, AREEE"

Distant relative

[true steeple]

Fader -> asksvins -> necks?

[frail cave]

Yep

[prisma bronze]

Adapted to swim

[frail cave]

The gene pool fell off hard

[prisma bronze]

Scarce resources had to flee the island

[true steeple]

Fader -> neck is the biggest upgrade

[iron horizon]

how do I get my tamed boar to give me stuff?

[jade rapids]

No spoilers here. Please read the statements from the devs about latest Public Test

[frail cave]

Lmfao

[jade rapids]

kill it

[frail cave]

Breed it with another and slaughter the grown up offspring

[iron horizon]

lmao

So I will need more then one, and if I have multiple and they have food they will breed

[prisma bronze]

Yes

[frail cave]

You'll also need a butcher knife to kill tamed animals

[prisma bronze]

And aren’t scared?

[frail cave]

Never

[gray kayak]

is there a way to reduce the glow/glare of active fireplaces ?

[jade rapids]

Not without using mods, I think.

[thorn spire]

or turn on pvp.

[plucky pollen]

How are these Corewood walls made? I don't have them.

[pure mango]

Cordwood from black Forrest

You set the frame down then just stack them up

I think it’s 4 logs per standard wall block vertically

[plucky pollen]

So there is no wall?

I just need to stack Log beams?

[pure mango]

Yep

Then you will have your ski cottage
