[strong cape]

They have extra snapping points compared to normal wood beams. So they can stack up like a wall.

[plucky pollen]

thanks

[drowsy crane]

I would upvote a core wood wall object so fast

[iron horizon]

do trolls in troll caves respawn?

[drowsy crane]

I don't think so

I have never seen it, but I also rarely revisit caves as I mark them and x them out.

[strong cape]

Is it true killing the troll in the cave stops them from spawning outside? I've seen it said yes and no.

[iron horizon]

i hope not because I want their skin

[lapis terrace]

not true

both have diffrent RNG rules

[strong cape]

Good to know

[honest parcel]

Wait trolls respawn inside caves???

[lapis terrace]

they can spawn both outside and inside

and those aren't related to each other

[frosty frost]

Nope, both inside and outside trolls have one time only spawnpoint there 🙂

[cobalt glacier]

is there any reason 2 hold onto the selling items? amber rubys etc. There not secretly crafting components later on are they?

[olive bison]

I think a couple ambers are used for the treasure chest, but thats just decorative!

[tired root]

No, rubies and necklaces are required to the decorative treasure chest. Amber has no crafting usage.

[regal wedge]

well that's new. I just spotted a hooded figure that looked like "death" and as I approached, he vanished. Does that mean anything mechanically?

[tired root]

That's ||All-Father keeping an eye of you||.

[regal wedge]

oh ok 😛 I was worried that it was an omen of something

[old flare]

How i can find 1-2 star boars fast?

[tired root]

It's fast only if Rng giveth.

Randomly spawned boars can have stars outside of 800m radius of the center of the world, but some POIs where they have one time spawn points they can spawn there with stars even inside the 800m radius. It's basically 1% chance to mob spawn with 2 stars.

[old flare]

how abt 1 star

[tired root]

10% chance.

[old flare]

🥶

[stoic trench]

I usually have luck finding a meadows biome that’s kinda isolated sort of? Like an island that’s close enough to shore… it’s kind hard to explain lol.

But the limited area lows things to spawn a bit more contained, and when you clear away the flora and stuff it gets even easier. Just run around and kill the meadows mobs until you get the boar you’re looking for.

[true steeple]

Isn't 1-star 9% because 10% of 1-stars become 2-stars?

[tired root]

1% comes from 10% chance mob gaining star upon spawning and after successfully gaining one, another 10% chance to gain another one.

[old flare]

AH man

im gonna stay with normal boars...

But gonna tame the mountian

eeee

wolf

[tired root]

I mean, you can run around meadows and find runestones with the one time spawned boars and hoping Rng would giveth.

[old flare]

Yea i got one next to my home

[tacit breach]

You'll find one eventually, and probably kill it just as you realize its a 2 star.

Ask me why I always "look" before I kill...

[old flare]

Btw

do baby boars need food to grow?

[plucky pollen]

Is there a way to get tamed Wolf from A to B without a sea serpent ruining your day?

[tired root]

Clear weather and daytime.

[plucky pollen]

There will always be bad weather I'm afraid.

[tired root]

Not always. Weather is determined by day number/time/biome, there is one website where you can check the weather.

Haven't used it myself tho.

[pure mango]

I felt cheated when I found out weather was on a cycle lol
Though having said that, knowing what the RNG is like, I'd be pissed at 5 back to back storm days

[old flare]

Alr man

do boars eat the yellow musshroms?

[pure mango]

I dont think they do and to be honest save your yellow mushrooms, there are a lot of them, but there are a limited amount

[old flare]

Ugh

[pure mango]

Even in the end game there is a recipe you'll want to use with them

[old flare]

i dont have anything to feed my boars

[pure mango]

Feed your animals stuff you can replenish

[old flare]

my old carrot empire no more exist

How about honey

[frosty frost]

Yellow mushrooms respawn 😉

[pure mango]

Oh lol

[old flare]

Sooo

ima see if they eat yellow mushrooms

[frosty frost]

But boars still dont eat them 😄

[pure mango]

Bring back your carrot empire tbh, growing carrots is very scalable, with a little bit of patience youll have lots of them

[old flare]

But the wait

to grow them all

lowkey i just beat the 3nd boss and idk if i should do a wolf farm

[tawny solar]

You can feed them raspberries and dandelions ( I think they eat dandelions)

[pure mango]

You'll be glad these crops are so easy to grow when you get to ||vineberries||, they are hard to scale

[old flare]

Whaaat

[frosty frost]

Nope, only Raspberries, Blueberries, Red mushrooms, Turnips and Onions

[pure mango]

You can feed them rasberries. I'm not sure you should feed them rasberries. You'll be glad you kept your berries later on when you need a lot of meads.

[tired root]

Raspberries are easiest to find early.

[pure mango]

Gathering is harder work, feed them things you can grow yourself.

[old flare]

Well i need a trip to black forest

[pure mango]

I'm in Ashlands and I STILL have to go back to black forrest for sodding blueberries lol.
I dont think I need the red ones anymore though.

[tacit breach]

After waiting with just the plains as our final biome, I got into the habit of stocking up on everything. Finding out I am glad I do. Even on bones. 😄

[frail cave]

-# very subjective 😅

[midnight saffron]

damn, ashlands feel kinda hard
like, the number of enemies at once

kind of feels like the game was pleasant solo up to the queen, but from the bossfight onwards it just feels unfair and I have to either pull with bow, or spam aetgir alt attack ;c

[pure mango]

Yeah welcome to ashlands lol

Remember you are dealing with a lot of peirce resistances now

Ategir might not be the best tool
Generally the way I deal with groups is to kite the fast ones away, and or move around in such a way that only one is close at a time

The charred do not move fast

[midnight saffron]

currently, i have mistlands aetgir and frostner
and frost staff, but it doesn't feel that good
I am kinda stuck, because i can't get to flametal, because there are lots of enemies around and I end up dying randomly

[tired root]

👈 This bad boy deals partial lightning damage which helps against mobs resistant to pierce and also adds to stagger.

[pure mango]

Frostner is a pretty good choice, I would prefer mistwalker but thats more of a preference thing. For pure dps against charred, the fully upgraded silver sword is very good, because of all the spirit damage.

[frosty frost]

The silver sword deals even more dmg to charred than mistwalker and has lower stmina usage 🙂

[pure mango]

You will learn the hard way and get to the delicious flametal eventually.

Have you done magic yet? Magic is OP in the ashlands, especially when you get the staff of the wild.

But even the mistlands staffs are very good.

[frail cave]

if it's about survivability, i'd pick the himmin afl and frostner combo.
frostner's dps may be low compared to alternatives, but the low stamina cost and high knockback make it a very safe weapon to use in ashlands

slow and steady~

[frosty frost]

-# Exactly what enemies are if they get bonked by that thing 😄

[tired root]

Frostner pretty good even there, knockback is one reason I like maces in general for more defensive/crowd control abilities.

[pure mango]

I suggest going back to the same place each day. In my anecdotal experience, after a few respawns in a row, that peice of ground gets some peace for a while. Obviously killing spawners will help, if there is a physical spawner there.

You might want to prioritise doing a couple of fortresses since they will give you flametal anyway. The issue is thats not going to be easy if you are a solo melee player.

[tired root]

Although Krom is too cool weapon to not carry with you.

[pure mango]

I've been using my Brutal Slayer a lot, its good for 'kill it or cure it' tactics, because as your health is whittled down the damage goes up and up

And since 2H swords do kind of leave you open to taking damage with no shield and long attack animations, you will likely loose some hp

The Arbalest is worth taking out even as a melee person, for getting that first suprise hit in, you can still do a decent amount of damage before the mob is even alerted to you

Damn... I dont know if to save my gems for upgrading when I get to the deep north, or experiment with more weapon/gem combinations

We might not get any more of these gems

But... we might

[tacit breach]

Hmmm... I have been using Mistwalker and the silver sword, but I may have to pull out my old favorite...

[frosty frost]

All three of these are really good in ashlands 😄

[tired root]

You can still block/parry with 2h weapons.

[midnight saffron]

yeah, it's the mistlands aetgir xD

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I have been happy with them so far. Just I do love Frostner. Not sure why, either. 😄

[frosty frost]

Its also really good weapon 😄 is there need for more reason?

[tired root]

I usually go Frostner => Flametal mace => when get mats for them.

[tacit breach]

Not really. I do like it enough I did buy the necklace years ago. So any excuse to use it again, right?

[umbral vigil]

and carrots

[frosty frost]

Ah, true 😄
Forgot those

[umbral vigil]

frostner great dmg, but that knockback is just so insane, makes it so you cant ever land a follow up hit unless its a big target

[tired root]

I find maces best against groups of enemies where you can keep swinging primary attacks and switch targets after one is knocked back. Against single enemy secondary hits hard due to 2,5x stagger multiplier (although Frostner has poor stagger due to frost damage).

[trail plinth]

Does anyone know when /stats was added in game

[frosty frost]

Quite a long time, as long as i am using commands at least 🤔

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I think its always been there.

[trail plinth]

Since launch? I dont think so

[frosty frost]

Not sure if since launch, but if not then maybe H&H? That added lots of stuff.

[tacit breach]

I'm not sure either, Never been big on using it.

[frosty frost]

Yeah, same.

I started using it bit more often in last few months, but pretty sure its been in game a lot longer than that.

[tacit breach]

Several years, at least. I used it a few times on my server, I think.

[trail plinth]

Is the hildirs request date the day I started?

[true steeple]

That's when Hildir's Request was released for public testing

[trail plinth]

My stats dont show when I first started

Yeah it shows 0 boss kills when im at modar, this was def added a couple months after launch

[frosty frost]

And are you on the same character you started with?

[trail plinth]

Yes since the beggining

I stopped playing like 3 weeks after launch

[true steeple]

Most stats have only been tracked since Hildir's Request which is why that date is shown on the list

[trail plinth]

Thats what im guessing

[old flare]

Yo gng

i just heared that we got free 2 start wolfes at night

can i tame them?

[tired root]

Nightly spawned mobs (like starred wolves) must start taming process before morning tho, otherwise they despawn.

[lapis terrace]

only post PTB related things in the #valheim-public-test channel

@fierce path

[fierce path]

why cant i mine this silver???

[tacit breach]

I don't know. I was able to the few times I found them going into a well in the mountains.

Does it say your doing damage?

[fierce path]

its like theres another vein inside that isnt invincible but not in every spot

so some weird angles i got a few silver out of

[misty sage]

How long is the gap between PTB and main update usually? Tried checking News history then reached the top of the channel.

[ornate brook]

On average like a month

It varies based on the amount of bugs found in testing and what not

[subtle bay]

How do I cook deer meat

[pure mango]

Build a campfire

Build a rack over the fire
Place dear meat on the rack
When it fizzes its cooked, I think it takes 30 seconds

[subtle bay]

Thanks

Turned out well.

[mental dragon]

good seed? been playing in this seed for 1 month now (on and off) and got curious and used the valheim seed gen.

[frail cave]

Wow 1st six bosses all right by each other

[cyan tulip]

Dang. Where are the traders?

[pure mango]

Damn I got played

[jade rapids]

#1202740443352137838

[steel thorn]

is there a way in devcommands to change the world state to a boss having been slain?

[tired root]

Do you mean having world reset some boss not being defeated yet?

[steel thorn]

No like the opposite, if you havent killed a boss yet, to make it so the world thinks you have, instead of just spawning the boss' items

[tired root]

It would be commands regarding to global keys. Which boss specifically?

There you should find info you need: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Keys

[steel thorn]

Thank you!

[cobalt glacier]

any tips for finding the first trader we need those belts man

id take a command or a mod for it atp

[sacred viper]

hi there, someone i'm trying to play with keeps having his characters auto-deleted upon creation. any ideas what the problem could be?

[jade rapids]

That map aren't discovered very much at all. You need to focus on the same distance from Start, as you found the 2 other traders. Play the game, not chase game-mechanics.

[jade rapids]

Have you checked the playerlog?
Does the person create a character in Valheim menu, and when moving on to choosing world, the character is gone/booted back to main menu? What does the players steam cloud tell you?

[sacred viper]

As soon as he presses 'done' in character creation, it returns to the menu and the new character is not there

[cobalt glacier]

i want the weight belt so i can play the game 👍

[jade rapids]

So it's a Steam/game issue, I would guess. Would start with closing the game, and verify the game files. Any mods involved?

[jade rapids]

You don't need the belt to play the game

[sacred viper]

No mods, just base game. Verified files, tried creating a back up and deleting the character files, nothing seems to be fixing it :(

[jade rapids]

Are there any characters created for Valheim on this steam-account?
Check https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorageapp?appid=892970&index=0

[sacred viper]

Yeah there's a couple from when we originally played 3 years ago

[jade rapids]

To me, it looks like that the game doesn't have writing permits in the Appdata folder, for some reason. I've never heard about this before. But the log maybe be at help.
But maybe others here have any clues?

If you dump the log into pastebin (or simular, remove sensitive info like IP, Steam ID, etc) and you can post the url here

[placid reef]

if i start a new world on public test BETA, will i be able to continue on normal when the call to arms update comes out

[lapis terrace]

yes

[placid reef]

thank you, love you

[midnight saffron]

I kinda done goofed and died to an enemy between finding and picking up a part of the ashlands sword, and it despawned before I was able to get to it
any other option to get it, except for console commands?

[true steeple]

Your only other option would be loading an automatic backup of the world

[midnight saffron]

ty

[pure mango]

You would think important items wouldnt despawn

I think I lost some gems this way

[final cape]

Hey folks, I'm on the public test server, I have the forge and I can't seem to upgrade my bronze armor. Any help? I got the extra crafting stuff too, like the anvil and forge cooling.

[tired root]

Right materials? Do you have mods in use?

O!ptb

[solemn bone]

Please keep Public test spoilers in the #valheim-public-test channel and feedback in the #call-to-arms-update-feedback-only.
To gain access to the public test, you go to id:customize and click the Public-test role

[tired root]

^You can report there if no mods in use.

[final cape]

No mods right now.

So I'm guessing this is a bug for the public test?

[tired root]

Right now, but have you had at any point?

[final cape]

Oh no

It's a fresh install of the public test. Only thing I did is back up the save.

Unless switching between the regular update and Call to Arms causes issues.

[tired root]

Shouldn't cause that kind of problems, at least not for me. But maybe try restarting the game again and/or drop materials and pick them again.

[marble igloo]

we have been driving our boat to find the ashlands for about 45 - 60 mins. We havent found any land yet... where exactly do you find LAND?!

[final cape]

Okay, so they're saying that I need a lvl 4 forge for the bronze armor to show up as an upgrade.

Otherwise it's just the tools that will show up.

[karmic charm]

Stupid question: What's the point of the <mark> function on signs? It just makes my text clip/glitch

[tired root]

Lvl 4 Forge is required to upgrade bronze armor to quality 4.

But maybe you can continue in the other channel where people are replying to you. @final cape

[tired root]

Sail more into the West/middle.

[marble igloo]

we`ll try that

[lime pollen]

normal for ash lands?

[frosty frost]

It wouldnt hurt to upgrade armor a bit more, but other than that i see nothing wrong really 🙂

[tired root]

Spinesnap would be a bow upgrade as it deals also spirit damage and higher pierce against non-resistant mobs. Major HP mead would be more useful in dire situations IMO. But if you fare well, then go with what you find the best. Upgrading gear wouldn't hurt either.

[frosty frost]

-# I totally missed the Draugr fang xD

[pure mango]

Frost arrows

Poision arrows in a pinch
Silver arrows ideally, specifically for the big thing which flies

Actually not poision arrows

Too much poision resist. Frost is the way to go.

[frosty frost]

Frost arrows are still the best, silver is... meh at best

[pure mango]

Silver arrows take down ||fallen valks ||nicely

Especially if you can get that first hit in before they are aware of you

[frosty frost]

Well they are slightly better for those, but just getting loads of frost arrows will be simpler 🙂

The difference between the two is 4 dmg 😄

[tulip flume]

How do I break a body pile?

[frosty frost]

You hit it enough times 🙂

[tulip flume]

No like with what weeapon?

[frosty frost]

Doesent matter

[tulip flume]

I have used atgeir's 2nd around it but it didn't work I think

[frosty frost]

Try primary

[tulip flume]

worked but what is this? It makes me swimWhat is on the other side>?

[frosty frost]

Either another room or nothing 🙂

[tulip flume]

danger?

[frosty frost]

Just as much as in any other room in the crypts 🙂

[narrow turtle]

can i somehow plant a berry bush ?
it would be good in design

or any bush like plains one

[tired root]

No planting bushes. Mark them on map and make some foraging trips from time to time to gather enough berries.

[frosty frost]

Not in vanilla, no.
Usually people do what Joel is saying 🙂

[narrow turtle]

they definetly should add it in vanilla in future

[tired root]

Not something they'd plan to add.

[frosty frost]

Not necessary, and it would just entice people to stay at one place and not go out to explore 🙂

[narrow turtle]

anyways decorative ones would be cool

ty for info

[old flare]

This is my world (i just beat bonemass) and this is how my ashlands look

So

[frosty frost]

All worlds have ashlands in the south only 🙂

[old flare]

true

[marble igloo]

ah yes well xD Thats why we didnt find land for such a long time

[old flare]

Lmao

[misty hollow]

i would recommend not visiting ashland so early if you have only just defeated the third boss

[full mesa]

I mean its kind of hard to get there to begin with

[tulip flume]

I have yet to see a turnep in the swamp :(
are they very rare or do I have to look in a certain place in =spamp or something?

[frosty frost]

They quite a bit rarer than carrots in black forest, and they can be hard to spot

I can send a photo of them here if you want

[tulip flume]

Sure

[tulip flume]

ok

Also I need to be in range of the boar for 30 minutes and not aggreviate it right?

[real nebula]

Yes

[frail cave]

("in range" in the sense that the boar has to be in a fully loaded chunk)

[tulip flume]

I guess it works according to my ss

I triedd using Cheat Engine to make the game faster but It didn't work. FYI I tried this because the first boar has been on 3% for days

[frosty frost]

There is a command to instantly tame them, but its better to do stuff without commands 🙂

[tulip flume]

I don't wanna enable devmode. last time I did it ended terribly

I mean I got myself a sword and tried fighting the bosses. And dropped the game right away. this time I am trying to read the wiki and ask here and I am really enjoying the game

[smoky river]

is there a way to delete items bcs my trash corner is piling up badly

[tired root]

Leave them outside of workbench/spawnproof radius for an hour, they should disappear. Or build obliterator, which turns items into coal, item from Haldor grants you the recipe to build it.

[smoky river]

ok thx

[tulip flume]

Is there any channel to trade items with other people?

I'd like to get some turnip seed

[urban anchor]

noticed a new Axe on the Wike, the Skull Splitter... is that from the new update ?

ok ... jsut noticed the (PBT), question answered

[jade rapids]

No. If you're desperate, you could spawn in what you need with dev commands.

[zenith gale]

Hey when hosting a coop game (locally) with a friend our day of time is unsynced. He shows night when I have day etc. Any idea how to solve it? Restart and sleeping didnt work

[frail cave]

Wouldn't make it if they tried if they are that early

Kinda need the new boat to make it there to begin with which you can only make after beating queen

[old flare]

which item?

[frosty frost]

Thunderstone

[frail cave]

Any

[old flare]

huuuuh

[frail cave]

Any item if left untouched near a player after the time limit will despawn

[frosty frost]

Did you read the message they were replying to?

[old flare]

i was asking abt the item to build

[frail cave]

Yeah leaving a pile of stuff in a corner to de despawn and he said which item

[old flare]

the uhhhhh

[frosty frost]

Read it to the end...

[frail cave]

Ohhh ok

[frail cave]

I did but he said which item coulda meant 2 things I was going in order

[frosty frost]

#valheim-help message there is only one word "item" in this message tho 😄

So it makes it pretty clear imo

[regal wedge]

What am I looking at? Having never seen a sunken crypt, I thought it was that but then I googled that and it doesn't look the same

[tired root]

There is nothing noteworthy, sometimes elite draugr can spawn there.

[regal wedge]

yeah I saw one but he was stuck and so I just shot him with arrows

[sharp magnet]

its a well

[pure mango]

Well well well what do we have here

[urban anchor]

its a trap... dont explore it xD

dodes anyone know why these pieces are floating in the air ? o.O

instead of falling ...

[fading umbra]

Is there an easy way to find gravestones you may have deleted the marker for

[zenith gale]

No one who knows? I have googled like a muppet but cannot find a solution 🙂

[lapis terrace]

um. with commands

[fading umbra]

Whats the specific command if you dont mind?

Im afraid my death loot might have been deleted accidentally anyways

[lapis terrace]

trying to remember myself 😄

[sharp magnet]

maybe if you friend waits till its the same time as you and then you join other option would be commands prob

[frosty frost]

It will be the find command, but the id of gravestone...

[lapis terrace]

player_tombstone

but doesn't work for me 🤔

and I rescently died 😄

[frosty frost]

Weird, will go try it too 🤔

Works for me

find player_tombstone

[urban anchor]

is there a high tide and low tide in valheim?

[lapis terrace]

no

just waves

[cunning helm]

well depends on the weather really, i would not call it high or low tide, just high or low swells

[analog wharf]

I need help if anyone’s down for answering a question

[frosty frost]

Ask away 🙂

[analog wharf]

So I partook in the Xbox insider hub or the player test servers so I could check out the new stuff and I was wondering why I can’t access console commands. I am on Xbox but I’ve never had that issue before.

[frosty frost]

I believe you have to enable the console in settings now

[analog wharf]

Thank you I will check it out

[frosty frost]

And after enabling it should be LB+LT+start iirc

[tulip flume]

What is this?

Also there is a mob inside it. what is this mob?

[full mesa]

Kinda hilarious and how did it even get in there

Thats a wraith

Its a rare enemy that only spawns at nighttime in the swamp

[viral cave]

Explore it. You have equipment enough to kill it.

[dry wigeon]

how do i progres to metal age

do i need to kill some boss first

[cunning obsidian]

Sacrifice his kin.

🦌

[strong cape]

And after that go loot things in burial cambers

[regal wedge]

can you build a portal in a sunken crypt?

Not sure if anyone has tried and I'd like to know before I try

You can't because you can't put down a workbench but you can set it down right outside the entrance so that's good enough really

[frail cave]

it's a part of the hut PoI. wraiths spawned from these huts are unique in that they don't despawn during the day, but as tends to be the case, it's a one-time spawn.

[lapis terrace]

no. you cannot build inside dungeons

[hushed silo]

this is really bugging me... i loaded my game just to find i was spawned in the center of the map, my respawn unset but luckily i had a portal to base. But i shoul've spawned pretty far out into the ocean on a karve. I then reloaded the backup and the issue persisted. I made another karve, sailed back and made a portal at the plains, made specifically sure to save and ive yet again spawned in the center of the map with no portal there. I am above 1000% sure i saved in the plains where i should've spawned. I am on the beta, is this a known issue?

[dry wigeon]

i did. what should i do next

[dry wigeon]

i have some surtlings

[lapis terrace]

go kill the big dude in the black forrest

and before that, use those horns on a workbench

[cunning obsidian]

His antlers can be used for a pick. Hunt the dark forests for your materials.

[spiral drift]

Is the public test generally stable enough to enjoy? Also can I move my world out of the public test when the update comes out?

[lapis terrace]

stable?

[dry wigeon]

big dude? u mean troll?

[lapis terrace]

bigger 👀

[spiral drift]

Like is it going to crash on me

[dry wigeon]

is it the tree from swamp?

[lapis terrace]

only if you use Vulkan and got a AMD graphics card atm

which was not something we had forseen

[spiral drift]

Thanks! I should be good then

But can I move that world out of public test?

[frail cave]

Amd?

[lapis terrace]

yes. AMD makes graphics cards 😄

AMD Radeon

[dry wigeon]

The elder?

[lapis terrace]

hell yes

[narrow turtle]

Idk im using 4060 and intel and its still crash for me

[frosty frost]

Once you start it in ptb then no, thats why you are supposed to make a copy before you start 🙂

[iron horizon]

do your boars die if you dont feed them?

[frosty frost]

Nope, they just wont breed 🙂

[iron horizon]

ahh thanks, good to know

[calm timber]

Once the ptb becomes main branch, can you then take that world back to main?

I have assumed it will, but I find myself unsure

[frosty frost]

Yep, the last ptb version will become the new live version

[narrow turtle]

access code is ||imadebackups|| for a reason)

yes i did a reasonable typo

[frosty frost]

Indeed 😄

[merry current]

Are the blue small clouds in the black forest mist or troll fart?

[unique dust]

I'd say small blue clouds that also contain troll fart

[zinc gulch]

https://streamable.com/0xy86j

Im in ashlands trying to help recover a grave of my GF, we keep dying in water, howcome? what do we need? is it the air or water thats doing the damage (as in is it like hot water or gasses in the air?)? im not sure.. i recorded a clip of us dying lol

[frosty frost]

Do you have the new boat?

[zinc gulch]

yeah but as you can see in the clip, its like under a building of sorts so i thought it was a puddle/small lake...so im guessing we can ONLY use that INSANE big boat to go there and get the graves? dangit 🙁

[frosty frost]

Everything other boat appart from drakkar will take dmg in ashlands water, yes, as will you.

[zinc gulch]

sorry what is drakkar, maybe i just misremember

[sharp magnet]

youre not the first one to die to that😉

[frosty frost]

The boat you said you have...

The one you unlock after defeating the queen

[zinc gulch]

im guessing the water is connected by sea (its probably, i just cant see it on the map yet)...so ok new plan is to find a way to build that big ship and sail to the graves somehow without dying 😄

OH thats called drakkar lol, my bad yes gotcha!

This is gonna be.....challenging lol

[sharp magnet]

this is where you are wrong

[frosty frost]

You cant build anything taht requires a workstation, lets put it that way 😄

-# Also if you are not using devcommands ofc 😉

[gaunt tendon]

hi all, do i need to be near eggs for them to hatch or can i be elsewhere?

[frosty frost]

The hatching progress will continue even if you are away iirc

[zinc gulch]

FML...my GF stranded it by spawning it badly... 🥲

[slender dove]

uhmm. Why is my rocky dead 🙁

You need to pet it to keep it alive? omg look at him

[plucky pollen]

To fish for a certain fish I need to actually find that fish, right?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[smoky river]

how do i activate the obliterator?

[frosty frost]

Lever on the side 🙂

[smoky river]

yep i just saw it😭

[pale shuttle]

im currently having the problem that my current main world has the error "bad version" i tryed everythin i reinstalled the game didnt work , i tryed using a backup 2months ago it dosent work and when i try using a backup it fails any tips or ideas?

[frosty frost]

Did you by any chance play on public test version?

[pale shuttle]

Yea i did and after I was done I used my old backup

[tawny solar]

Can you upgrade fenris hood to level 3? Cause I’m not finding fenris hood on my crafting or my upgrade list

[frosty frost]

Did you get cultist trophy yet? 🙂

[jade rapids]

You need to upgrade your workbench

[tawny solar]

Yes but I switched characters for room

[tawny solar]

I think I have it at level 5

[jade rapids]

Then you should be able to

[frosty frost]

They would still se the hood in the menus, there would just be the blinking number of level that is required

[frosty frost]

Try to pick all the stuff for it again

[tawny solar]

Alright will do, thank yall!

[misty sage]

It's dangerous but there is a possible solution.
-Make sure your inventory has space (and weight capacity) for all materials and that auto pickup is on
-Get the boat as close to a pillar/building as you can
-Attack the mast
-When it breaks, the materials should appear in the center of where the ship was (under the mast)
-The metals will sink instantly but if they spawn on top of you then autopickup should grab them first
-As soon as you hit the water, swim and get out so you don't boil and die

If you succeed then you should have the materials to rebuild it in a better location

[lucid jewel]

what should be the best overall bronze thing or things i should get? (i already made the axe and cart)

[frosty frost]

Cultivator

[lucid jewel]

ty

im assumng i should make a sword next xd

after the culttivator iii mean

god this keyboard

[frosty frost]

I would make a fermenter, but at this point it doesent matter much what order you will make things in 🙂

[misty sage]

Depends if you want to specialize in a certain weapon type

[lucid jewel]

omg i keep forgettng, tyysmm

[misty sage]

But Atgeirs are always fun

[frosty frost]

And great for trolls 🙂

[misty sage]

Especially the secondary attack

[regal wedge]

If you are currently under the effects of a potion, say a poison resistance potion for example, can you drink something like a health potion also?

[frosty frost]

Yep

You can have as many potion effects as you want, you just cant drink different types of the same potion at once

[regal wedge]

oh ok cool I thought that if you drank something like a poison resist followed by a frost resist, the frost would overlap the poison

Thanks for clearing that up

[pale shuttle]

@frosty frost am i cooked?

[frosty frost]

Not really sure, not really that knowlegable, in my experience if you made backups before playing ptb, and then opted out of ptb you should be able to play on the backups.

[pale shuttle]

well all i see is

even if i use an older version nothin works

and thats what my save looks like

[frosty frost]

Hmm, try to go to the worlds_local folder and change the name of the .db and .fwl files 🤔

[frosty frost]

Is that the worlds_local folder?

[pale shuttle]

yes

[frosty frost]

Then you did not make saves...

[pale shuttle]

wdym

[frosty frost]

There should be .db and .fwl folders there, those are the world files that should have been copied before starting the world in ptb version. Since oyu dont have them there it means you did not make the backups.

[pale shuttle]

so its like gone now?

[frosty frost]

Not necessarily, you can still play the world on ptb version and once the ptb goes live you should still be able to play it normally.

[pale shuttle]

so i could i save it maybe?

[frosty frost]

You do have it saved on cloud now, you might want to make saves just in case tho. Go to in-game saves manager and click "move to local" button, then it will change to "move to cloud" button then, you click that too. That should make copy of the world as it is now in the version you last played it at.

[pale shuttle]

i managed to save my files

and they are now at local thx

[royal shale]

fellas, how easy it is to get silver? I just beat beat bonemass, so I wonder if I should try and upgrade my iron gear (lvl1 armor and sword) or just jump to the next tier. still no idea where to even find it tho

[thorn spire]

dont want to spoil it for you, but the enemies in the next biome hit a lot harder. If you want to be well prepared, upgrade your gear and make sure you've got good food. (also a mead will be helpful.)

[royal shale]

got it. yeah, I've had some encounters with the wolves before, so if that's what's to expect, I need all the help I can get 😩

[regal wedge]

once you locate Haldor, does he ever move?

Or does he just have multiple spawn locations?

[tepid jolt]

He doesn't move. Once you find him, he'll always be in that spot.

He does have multiple potential spawns, but gets locked to whichever you come across first.

[regal wedge]

oh ok so I'm locked in here. Worth building a house and portal here then I'd wager for quick visits later

[tepid jolt]

I always build a portal near his bubble.

[regal wedge]

Ok cool, now that I have my house setup, I have 8500 gold to spend and I've already bought the headlamp and the weight belt. What else should I prioritize from Haldor?

I'm currently going around gathering iron and I haven't beaten Bonemass yet

[drowsy crane]

I would say the Thunder Stone, then Fishing Rod & Bait

Ymir Flesh is also very handy, but won't be as useful throughout an entire playthrough.

[regal wedge]

I remember my buddy said the thunderstones can make some pretty strong stuff

I'll have to look into what a fishing rod can get me. I would assume just fish but maybe fish are like super good food and I just don't know it.

[drowsy crane]

They probably meant the Ymir Flesh in that case.

[regal wedge]

yeah now that I'm looking at it, he must have mispoken.

Aside from vaporizing junk, is there any function to the lightning machine?

wow 160 iron for a single hammer is kinda nuts

[drowsy crane]

It produces coal for item overflow, but ultimately no, it's just good to have.

[hazy yacht]

To my knowledge....the Thunderstone only makes the Obliterator...

[regal wedge]

I think my buddy was mistaken. I think he was talking about the silver hammer so he prob got the 2 mixed up

[hazy yacht]

Frostner....a very good hammer....when it is maxed

I normally try to get Frostner before fighting BoneMass. Hit a Frost Cave to get Fenris set...then just explore the mountains looking for silver veins sticking out of the ground.

[drowsy crane]

Careful, they're only asking about a merchant in the Black Forest, you could just be pointlessly spoiling things 😛

[hazy yacht]

lol...sry

[drowsy crane]

All good!

[hazy yacht]

Been playing for many years. I am an Admin on another community for our Cross-Play server.

[regal wedge]

I didn't know there were other vendors besides Haldor but shortly after finding Haldor, I found this?

[drowsy crane]

Is there a question here?

Yes you found that 😅

[regal wedge]

hahaha not exactly but like, I have no idea what any of that stuff is and have never heard of it

Is this somethign that's like way over my level and I don't need to worry about it?

[drowsy crane]

That's part of the fun of Valheim!

If you're able to navigate to them on your own, it's not over level.

[regal wedge]

fair enough. Guess I should start looking into that. Based on the hut, I'd assume it's probably mostly potion making stuff

[hazy yacht]

Since there was no question...not going to say anything...dont want to give away anything...unless asked. 😛

[tiny violet]

the cured squirrel hamstring is nice. the serving tray, woodland herb, and seafarer herb are also nice in my opinion. more stuff unlocks as you kill bosses

[lapis terrace]

you found the bog witch 🙂

we have more than haldor now (as you can see) and the bog witch is our latest update

[frail cave]

Where did guys get the name haldor from, ik hildir is a valkyrie in norse mythology

The skoll and hati weapons are sons of fenrir and obviously fenrir is supposed to be fenrir lmfao

I cant find anything on a haldor tho

[lapis terrace]

unsure since haldor has been in the game longer than I have been hired 🤔

[frail cave]

Ahhh ok

See i know that bogs were a common thing in scandinavians "iron age" making sense as to why swamps have iron and why they introduced the bog witch being found in swamps, but again there isnt actually anything about a bog witch in norse mythology either, so between that and haldor I cant find where the game took inspiration from

[lapis terrace]

Haldor is a first name in viking age

Haldor or Halldor

[frail cave]

So just a random name? Lol

[lapis terrace]

yup

[frail cave]

Sad

[drowsy crane]

Why is that sad?

[frail cave]

Just is

[torpid surge]

looking for dlc there,s a couple i like to get

i mean mods

[tired root]

Look no further than https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966.

[torpid surge]

thx

[steel thorn]

The key question is, to build a basement, or not to build a basement?

[tired root]

To build if one wants a basement.

[frosty frost]

Better to have basement and not need it, than need a basement and not have it

[plucky pollen]

Spoiler:|| If I already cleared a Smouldering Tomb before taking the quest from Hildir, will it still be empty? Can I still find the item that she's looking for?||

[unique dust]

||Not empty; you will still find the item I think||

[plucky pollen]

Well, I didn't find it.

[unique dust]

Oh...

Then I'm wrong maybe x')

||Hmm but why not for it to be there still? Despite not taking the quest? I dunno xd||

[frosty frost]

Doesent matter if you mark the locations at Hildirs table before or after you clear it, it doesent change anything

[plucky pollen]

I couldn't find anything tho.

[frosty frost]

Did you fight the miniboss?

[plucky pollen]

There were no enemies there which are supposed to drop it.

[plucky pollen]

The cave was completely empty the 2nd time.

[frosty frost]

And the first time?

[plucky pollen]

I don't remember, could be so yes. It was a long time ago.

[frosty frost]

Then you should have the thing the miniboss dropped stashed somewhere

[plucky pollen]

Yea I just checked what is unlocked with that chest and it seems like somebody else already brought it back to her.

thanks

[unique dust]

Oh lol

[lapis terrace]

they are all identical

[unique dust]

The chests?

[unique dust]

I believe they were different colours each (or better not say as someone who hasn't played in months due to time constraints x))

[frosty frost]

Yeah type of the dungeon has different colour chest, but there is 3 of each type, and every one of those has the same chest. 🙂

[lapis terrace]

in the same dungeon, they are identical, and 3 types of dungeons

[unique dust]

I know that if it means what I think it means..

I know that there are 3 dungeons which contain a differently coloured quest-chest each that's it (3 different chests in total)

Ohh yeah that was the metal frame of the chest which was copper/silver/blackmetal aha

[lapis terrace]

yup yup

[unique dust]

Ye ye that's right ^^

[cobalt glacier]

why does the oven exist i was gonna use it 2 cook alot of serpent meat but it cant even take larger items? is this needed for later on or is it secrently just a cosmetic thing?

[true steeple]

It's used to cook foods created at a food preparation table, such as bread and lox pies.

[frosty frost]

You will need it 🙂

[unique dust]

The oven will be like.. veeery important for the future

[cobalt glacier]

[wheat hazel]

So, I've been trying to get into the PTB for the Xbox Series S but I keep getting a message saying that the Xbox servers are down for maintenance and they can't get the update to me.Can someone help me out please?

[smoky river]

guys why cant i find any silver or obsidian on the snow mountain?

is it not a real one?

[frosty frost]

Mountain needs to be high enough for that 🙂 so you will not find any on some smaller ones

[robust nest]

Look for mountains with drakes, they spawn at a similar elevation to silver

[frosty frost]

Also, if mountain doesent have any obsidian it will almost certainly not have silver either, since it has higher required elevation to spawn than obsidian

[hazy yacht]

You will also find Stone Golems near Silver Veins.

[robust nest]

is that actually true? I see golems everywhere on the mountains often not near silver

[frosty frost]

Nope, no corelation between silver veins and golems, the broken houses can have spawn points, but not silver veins
-# Here is where they spawn if you want to look https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Stone_golem#Spawning 🙂

[subtle parrot]

Did you restart your xbox after joining the ptb?

[wheat hazel]

I did not. I didn't know I needed to.

[subtle parrot]

Yup you need to, hopefully that will solve the issue for you

[wheat hazel]

Okay. Thank you so much.

[lucid jewel]

how do i level my sword skill quickly?

[frosty frost]

You hit enemies 🙂

[lucid jewel]

alr lol ty, would a spawner work?

[frosty frost]

Sure 😄

[lucid jewel]

alr tyy

[frosty frost]

But dont pay too much attention to skill levels, they are pretty much nice to have but not necessary 🙂

[robust nest]

if you mind out under a greydwarf spawner they'll get trapped in the hole and it's an easy farm with enemies that don't hit hard

[undone adder]

Hello everyone, my friends and I are playing on a local server. I wanted to send a world save to my friend since I won’t be around for a few days, but for some reason, the files in my worlds_local folder are different and don’t work on his end.

[smoky river]

go into game, save the save files to local and cloud again

[frosty frost]

Go to in game save manager, select the world you want and press "move to local" button 🙂 That will put your world saves to this folder and after that you can click on "move to cloud" again

[smoky river]

hehe i was faster🤓

[frosty frost]

You also didnt type as much stuff xD

[smoky river]

yeah ik😂

[undone adder]

omg so easy, thx!

[frosty frost]

Just for total clarity, you want to send them both the .db and .fwl files 😄

[hazy yacht]

Hmmm....I have always found a Golem near a silver vein.....dont know

[frosty frost]

They do not have any spawn points linked to veins 🙂 they just spawn throughout the mountains

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I find them all over the place, and very frequently snug up against one of the broken houses, but never at a silver vein. Close by? Sure. Never at one, like they are at the broken houses.

[solemn oasis]

I the cooking pot an upgrade of the basic cooking build with sticks and rocks?

[tacit breach]

Its its own thing, you still cook some of the meats on the "sticks".

You want the upgrades whenever they open up. Its how you get better foods.

[robust nest]

Cooking pot makes meals, the roasting sticks only cook small meats

[tacit breach]

More like soups. At least at first.

We end up with so many cooking upgrades, its kind of hard to keep what does what, straight in your head. 😄

[novel idol]

My smelters all have coal and items to smelt, but they keep running, then stopping, then running, then stopping, any reason they're sometimes off?

Sometimes all of them are even off for no reason

Previously I only had one smelter and 2 charcoal things in the black forest but they didnt do this

I just built this setup but maybe I did something wrong

[tacit breach]

Not enough air space above them. They are kind of like camp fires in that regard.

[robust nest]

Yeah they need chimneys to let the smoke escape

[novel idol]

o wow, I spent all this time building a covering so I could easily enjoy doing it in the rain lol

[robust nest]

I think they can be covered but need like a 1m of air above them

Not totally sure though

[tacit breach]

Yeah, give enough height and they will work. I am not sure what that height is, though. I always put their chimney just outside of my roofing.

If you visit a channel like #building-tips I am sure they can tell you.

[jade olive]

Is it possible to have to many chicken's in one spot that they die off to say get to the amount there limited too? I just hatched a huge amount and I see a lot of the chicks at half heal and heard a few die. Fires are covered so don't know how there getting hurt.

[robust nest]

Chickens shouldn't die of over crowding although I think overcrowding can prevent chicks hatching

[compact heath]

they don't die off

[jade olive]

Humm intresting maybe I'll make the walls higher maybe a stacking issue?

[robust nest]

Could be, fire could also be getting them or maybe mobs

[jade olive]

No mobs troll cave completely safe

[robust nest]

Maybe smoke?

[compact heath]

thats what I am suspecting too

[jade olive]

Cave is to high

[robust nest]

They could just accidentally walk into smoke and since their health is so small take a lot of damage

[jade olive]

Stacking seams to be the issue. Found a chick in the fire spot and broke it so made higher blocks

Just hatched to many so got to watch it I guess

[tacit breach]

Yeah, they will stack and get over the half walls.

Just like the wolves and lox will do. Over full walls, and even higher.

[plucky pollen]

Can anyone explain to me the benefit of the Knife/Dagger? It has way less damage as the other weapons but also uses almost the same amount of stamina.

[robust nest]

Its the speed

You can stack up as much damage as a sword a lot faster

Meaning you can easily combo and avoid attacks. Also the abyssal knife is available in the black forest and is swamp tier

And it does use less stamina

[plucky pollen]

2 Stamina less, that's nothing.

[robust nest]

Nah 2 stacks since you're constantly attacking with the knife

You get a lot more attacks in than you could with a sword and especially a mace or atgier

Knives are also super super cheap making them the easiest to get besides spears

Im a big knife guy, Skoll and hati is my favourite weapon

[tired root]

High backstab (aka sneak bonus) multiplier is another plus, when you get your attack connect to unalerted enemy it deals devastating damage.

[robust nest]

Oh and no run speed debuff

[pure mango]

Does the Blood Fang affect just the component of damage from the bow, or all damage?

Lets say I use a frost arrow with a Storm Fang 2
86 pierce + 10 lightning + 5 spirit (bow) + 26 pierce + 52 frost (arrow)

Is the missing hitpoints damage modifier applied to the 86 peirce, the total bow damage, or the total overall damage?

[robust nest]

I think it adds on a physical damage based on the total damage done and health missing

Just adds it ontop

So it takes all damage done

Although with the spirit damage I doubt it'd even be a noticeable difference

[narrow turtle]

How can i place a

[proper moat]

Hey guys i need some help me and my buddy found a small Black forest Island to play on Problem is that there are some Greydawrfs that have a Problem with that ? How do we prevent the mob spawn on the entire Island? (Its not a big island) it has a crypt tho and theres also a Spawn point 4 1 star deer. So how do we prevent enemy mob spawn but keep the deer spawn. Also whats the best way to get pigs over water so we can get them on the Island?

[frosty frost]

Gram some coal, rocky and look in hammer menu 🙂

[vivid sundial]

how is that supposedly work? it has half the damage with 6x modifier while other weps have 2x dmg compared to knives and 3x modifier. doesnt that give them the exact same dmg?

[tired root]

Try secondary attack with Abyssal razor, it can oneshot it.

[thorn spire]

Doesn't the sneak bonus also multiply the stagger too?

[vivid sundial]

yes there has to be other multipliers because backstab bonus is nothing, its the same, but all "tricks and tips for vallheim" people state that is has big backstab bonus

heavy attack is just 3x damage for knives, same as other weapons. whatever is the bonus for knives is not stated on wiki or it doesnt excist im thinking

[tired root]

3x for secondary attack and 6x from backstab. Makes into 18x of base damage.

[vivid sundial]

so other weps are 3x 3x 2x also 18x (3x heavy 3x backstab 2xdmg comapred to knife)

seems to me that knives have the same damage to other weapons on backstab but normal attacks are weaker but faster. A balacned weapon

which also means theire not super good at backstabb at all. just as good as a sword lol

[vestal timber]

hey, the village me and my friends have built is too big to be covered by 1 shield generator, is there any way to make the radius larger or remove the visibility of the blue outer lines. theres no way for us to not have these inside the buildings which is really annoying

[tired root]

Let's take an example comparing Iron sword vs. Abyssal razor (same tier weapons):

• Iron sword (quality 1) has 55 slash and 3x backstab multiplier, making it 165 for base attack. Secondary attack multiplier is 3x, making backstab secondary deal 495 damage.
• Abyssal razor (quality 1) has 20 slash 20 pierce (total 40), backstab multiplier 6x, making basic attack deal 240 damage. Secondary attack multiplier is 3x, making backstab secondary attack deal 720 damage.
  Also note that base damage depends on skill levels, those are based on the max damage displayed in weapon stats.

[frosty frost]

You can put more throughout your base, the forcefields will connect to each other. 🙂

[vivid sundial]

oh I see. good math! Knife is not at all half damage, its almost the same to one handed weapons. Seems the tradeoff is range for speed instead. So only 2 handed swords are comparable backstab damage with knife. Thank you!

[vestal timber]

nah no way, we tought of installing a mod that could do that. big thanks how exactly does that work?

[tired root]

It's slight lower damage per hit and range but faster attacks plus devastating backstab bonus. 👍

[frosty frost]

If you put the next generator so close to another one that the forcefields would intersect they instead connect.

[mellow finch]

anything special here?

like with the wishing bone or sum

forgot to bring it

[rich roost]

@smoky riverthat is Yaglut vesignir location its raere location if it has one

[tacit breach]

The chests, when they even have one, are easily visible in the middle. Nothing special is in them, just another chest. Except I have found silver necklaces in them. A couple of times.

[jovial ledge]

Do many people experience game freezes (effectively crashes) in alt-tabbed mode? I can't remember this happening when I played stable version some one year ago, but current public test crashes often when I minimize the game.

[tacit breach]

No idea on my part. Not part of the play test, and I rarely minimize the game screen.

[smoky river]

what is this thing?

[true steeple]

It's a dvergr version of a wisp torch, just a decoration.

[tacit breach]

Yep. It irritates me that I cannot relight ones at towers I use that have been broken.

[tulip flume]

My current world is from 2023 I think. And I would like to play the latest things and have more bosses. Is there any option to keep the world and upgrade it somehow or do I need to make a new world and start there?

[viral cave]

It'll upgrade automatically in newly generated areas.

Just don't generate them before the update.

[smoky river]

do player graves despawn?

[frosty frost]

No

[smoky river]

yeah i just rage quit after getting jumped by 4, 2star fenrings, one greyhaffa and a cultist

im dealing with that bullshit later

[tulip flume]

oh! so if I haven't gone to places it will generate that place according to the latest generation rules (with newer biomes and bosses) for that version with that seed? The latest update will spawn bear in my world after it is released. Am I correct?

[frosty frost]

Well, if you didnt save properly there is a chance that the world will be rolled back a bit...

[smoky river]

oh well

[tulip flume]

Please make sure to ping me when answering.

[frosty frost]

Yes

[wet knoll]

can anyone tell me if you can activate console commands on xbox for valheim? im trying to do it but its not working

trying to get a true creative mode world going, having to run around everywhere takes too long

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console here you have a guide 🙂

[wet knoll]

says to hold lb + rb and then press start, but it doesnt work, just turns HUD off

[frosty frost]

Try LB+LT+start 🤔

[wet knoll]

nope

this is confusing me so hard lol cause ive seen like 2 diff ways and they dont work

[frosty frost]

Hmm, maybe you need to enable the console in settings

[wet knoll]

omg thats the reason! thanks! lol 🙂

[frosty frost]

Glad it worked 😄
Btw, which one of the combos worked?
The LB + RB + start or LB + LT + start?

[wet knoll]

LB + LT + Start lol

[regal wedge]

I read that some serpent loot sinks. Is it even worth it to kill them before getting a harpoon?

[true steeple]

Their meat floats and that might be what is most useful to you

[tacit breach]

Its what I care most about. The other two things are nice to get, but the meat is the most useful, imo.

[regal wedge]

yeah the scales are for a shield that is pretty bad as I understand it, do the trophy's float? I'm kinda a trophy simp

[tacit breach]

No, those sink, but you might be able to jump on it in time, if you kill it next to your boat.

[regal wedge]

tragic. yeah I read someone say they jump on it when it gets low and kill it and if you do that, you pick up the loot as it drops

not sure how true that is or the details

[tacit breach]

I don't get all of the scales, maybe half, if I am lucky, but I have gotten the trophy a few times.

You also need it for fish bait, if you get into the fishing that much.

[regal wedge]

the scales?

[tacit breach]

No, the trophy.

[regal wedge]

o.O

[tacit breach]

Yeah.

[regal wedge]

oh i see it makes a rod

oh wait no it's bait? o.O This game is weird

[tacit breach]

We get the fishing pole from a merchant, its for making a specific bait.

[regal wedge]

I've heard of "cut bait" but this is ridiculous

[tacit breach]

They have us needing a specific bait for each biome.

[regal wedge]

It is nice that they give use to trophies

[tacit breach]

I just wish they didn't make it some of the harder ones to get.

[regal wedge]

yeah maybe increase the drop rate since you're now making them a core component of gameplay

[tacit breach]

Fortunately its not game critical to get the other fish. Its mostly about the hat.

[subtle parrot]

Make a harpoon and drag the serpents to shore, or lure them by boating slowly, easier to get the drops that way

[regal wedge]

Yeah I gotta find the stuff to make the harpoon but as I understand it, the laviathans are pretty rare

[subtle parrot]

They're not really that rare tbh

They can be though

[tacit breach]

Not really, you just have to keep sailing until you come across them. They are rare compared to the land creatures, but for the ocean, not that hard to find.

[subtle parrot]

I started a new world the other day and was just running down the shore in the black forest and the edge dropped off into ocean instead of shallows, i can swim to a leviathan from the shore

[tacit breach]

I have two I can swim out to in my current world.

[subtle parrot]

It's kinda nice

[tacit breach]

They are both great to fish from.

[fierce path]

can any builder make out from this image how this corner here is made

[sinful seal]

Just looks like the 1x1 walls and beams

2m beams going vertically. 1m beams horizontally with the 1x1 walls along the closed in side

[fierce path]

I got the pole but i cant make out whats on the right of it

[tacit breach]

You would probably have better luck asking in the build channels we have down below. Maybe start with #building-tips

[regal wedge]

I guess it isn't that hard after all 😛

[tacit breach]

Yeah, not hard at all, once you sail enough. 😄

[regal wedge]

i was just cruising exploring the perimeter of a land mass and happened to look over 😛

I can only bet there is much more out in the middle of the ocean

[tacit breach]

Like I said earlier, I found two from land in my current world. One off my meadows, the other off a swamp.

[tulip flume]

This mountain is quite small. am I wasting my time here?

Not getting any oing from the whole mountain

[opal sorrel]

anyone tried valhost with the new call to arms update? mine doesnt seem to work and is stuck on "Updating" any feedback would be greatly appreciated

[subtle parrot]

Yeh doesn't seem worth looking around anymore, just a glorified hill

[subtle parrot]

Good mountains are quite a lot bigger, and taller. You need to be at least 600m above sea level to get the goods

[subtle parrot]

It's a ptb update not a live update so it may not be available on a dedicated server but you might get a better answer in #dedicated-server if so

[opal sorrel]

thankssss

ive played on valhost with beta updates and it used to work fine

for some reason it wont now

[subtle parrot]

Have you tried giving the server a full restart if you can?

I know for xbox when you join the ptb you have to restart the console, not sure if it would be the same. You may just have to contact valhost if not.

[opal sorrel]

it worked

but SOMEHOW theres this gigantic wall, its unbreakable, hoe and pickaxe do nothing

[subtle parrot]

That is certainly beyond me lol

[opal sorrel]

what in the

[sturdy folio]

That's a circle!

[ornate finch]

This happens when you restart the server improperly and interrupt it while it's saving.
To fix it, you will have to restore backups by manually managing files.

[pure mango]

The lovely ashlands is giving me double spawns today for some reason

I got double maws and double morgens

I thought there could only be 1 at a time

[ornate finch]

On which Valheim version are you playing? (number in bottom right corner of starting menu)

[signal helm]

hey was hoping to see if someone could give a few pointers on dedicated servers. me and my friend wanted to turn our private server into a dedicated private server so when he’s not playing I could play the world. is this possible and whats the best website to use to host?

and would we have to make a new world or could we turn our current world into a dedicated server?

[compact heath]

you can use your current world, host might depend on which country you are in what might be best if you want to pay someone to do it for you, another way is host it on a spare computer #dedicated-server

[pure mango]

Away from my PC now but it will be whatever the most recent version is on Steam

It deffinitely wont be pre-nerf I only originally installed it in July

[lusty trout]

Hello, I'm trying to tame boar and the have yellow hearts but no hungry or acclimatising bar. Are they taming or is it a bug? I'm on Xbox, thank you.

[drowsy crane]

Be sure you aren't being detected by them, and I'm fairly certain you won't have an indicator as to when they're hungry.

[lusty trout]

I'm not detected but I find it odd theres no bar. I know it takes a while too but it feels a lot longer when I don't know if it's actually working or not.

[drowsy crane]

Yeah there's no visible bar unless you're essentially right next to the boar and hovering it with the crosshair. If you never get detected it just takes 30min, but it only takes 15min with a certain mead.

[robust nest]

dude that's so cool

[robust nest]

I think acclimatisation is a percentage not a bar

[jovial ledge]

what to do with a Mysterious Rock?

[robust nest]

build a rock buddy I think

[lusty trout]

Same difference. I just find it odd no matter how close/undetected, it doesn't show anything other than the hearts. I guess I'll find out eventually if it worked or not.

[robust nest]

you might not be close enough I neededddd to be clopse enough to see their names andd health bars

[frosty frost]

Point at them your crosshair when right next to them 🙂

[robust nest]

honestly I'd just wait it's alwasy a flat 30 mins

[mild copper]

Guys, does anyone know what happened here:
I returned a few days ago (to test new ptb). Then, I played in a friend's server (not ptb). All fine. Yesterday, I logged in my own world and continued doing one of my old (abandoned) projects. Then, all of a sudden, when I placed another stone throne everything around me, in a radius of 10 meters (ig), was destroyed: workbenches, stonecutter, chests, stone thrones, blackmarble pieces, etc
Lucky me it was just a few things but I couldn't imagine it happening near my other building.
||(did they add a max-instance limit now?)||

[drowsy crane]

#valheim-help message

[drowsy crane]

There will be a noise when it is tamed.

[frosty frost]

I tried to repete it since they seemingly didnt or forgot to do it 😄

[drowsy crane]

I see now, thought you'd missed it 😅

[lapis terrace]

there is no max-instance limit

[mild copper]

Thanks. (my instances around that part is somewhere at 17k)
However, now that I think of, all the pieces that broke down were touching the ground lvl, by state, blue colored.
Why did those pieces broke down? I mean, they had the least chance of breaking down. (I wish I was recording, because it was a really weird happening)
Edit: No mods either. (mainly because I was playing PTB and mods don't work there)

[lapis terrace]

there was a super rare ground shift a few patches ago 🤔

did you build close to the old ashlands?

[mild copper]

Nope, it was in the meadows (main base). near those buried sites (pointed oval-ish shape) where you dig and find skelie remains or chests.

[random depot]

Is there a trick to lox breeding, especially the high star ones that are massive?

[true steeple]

Lox can't spawn with stars

[random depot]

Well this is modded. I understand it's an issue with or without mods, lox breeding I mean.

Their heads sticking out a wall, not seeing the food, etc.

[jade rapids]

It works just fine in my Lox breeder. You might need to check out some turorials on yt.

[random depot]

Most are quite old. Do you have a screenshot or two of your breeder?

[jade rapids]

Buildt it last week.
no

[random depot]

No am saying most of the videos are quite old. They may be out of date.

[jade rapids]

May or may not.

[tulip flume]

I went up to the maypole and swung my battle axe at it but I do not see it in my inventory. what did I do wrong?

[honest parcel]

pain
actual pain I feel it in my bones

[tired root]

It's possible to build only during Midsommar time, meaning June to early July. They can be found very rarely on certain seeds tho.

[tulip flume]

I found one in my world. idk how to get it

[tired root]

If destroyed, there is no way to repair/build it again except Midsummer time or with console commands.

[tulip flume]

Rip. I just wanted to take it to my home. is there any specific way to get it? so that I can try it that way next year

nvm checked the wiki

[tough hare]

That answer was given to you two times.......

[tulip flume]

It went over my head. Thanks

[molten night]

hello guys , quick question , is there any mod that actually let me tame some npcs in order to defend me and farm from me?

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[tulip hinge]

Hi guys, I have a question, I've been playing on a save with my friend since 2022 and after these last updates we still haven't been able to find the witch, is there anything I should know?

[compact heath]

she should still spawn in undiscovered swamp if you have any left, there is also some commands if you move the map to singleplayer and do some commands to unveil location etc there is ways to help you with devcommands

else if you still have a decent chunk of unexplored swamp you wll probably eventully find her with patience

[compact heath]

you can only get it like that: 1. Vanilla game, either find one and build next to it, you cant move it 2. Build it when its available around the month of "May" 3. Get a mod or devcommands and build it in a cheaty way in your base

[lethal swift]

https://youtu.be/nUlajy4_FzA?si=wJWMmLDqb9UqCw5b - would anyone happen to know if this still works? or what i might be doing wrong?

whenever i attempt it, i end up unable to trigger either animation while in the other (cant sword while in emote, cant emote while in sword)

[hollow moss]

do i have to put in a private beta code to play the beta? im not seeing the newest beta i dont think on steam

[stoic trench]

Yep, you can find the code in the patch notes #news message

[odd shale]

Before you load into the world, you should be able to see the seed on the home screen. You can take that into a Valheim World Generator and it should give you a couple potential spawn points. When you go to world spawn, do you have every available Forsaken? Im wondering if Bog has a time frame like seeds before a certain update wont spawn Bog

[proud prism]

yall what do i do with junk items

[tired root]

Either put on storage, throw away outside of spawnproof radius or put in Obliterator to delete them and get some coal as by-product.

[compact heath]

I just make more warehouses so I can store it all, never know when you;d need it 🙂

[proud prism]

I got a lot of puke berries

I don’t think I’ll be needing those

[compact heath]

Those one I don’t collect just throw them out in a non spawnproofed area haha

[proud prism]

ya, I been getting too many from my grey dwarf farm

[shy elk]

One question, I built something in my City/Village and at one moment parts of buildings start to break down. Now my Question is ,did I built too much?

Its this big and is very detailed

[jade rapids]

You can build as large as the hardware you have can handle

[shy elk]

hmm ok

[jade rapids]

But some building pieces can be damage in weather

[shy elk]

yes but random workstations and Stone tiles got destroyed too

I hope It will be a one-time thing thanks for your answer

[jade rapids]

Then you might have some network issues with the game.

[split sand]

Hey. Im trying to locate Haldor from current location at picture. By some reason he is not there? 😮

[tired root]

When the world is created? Are you playing on PTB version and playing old world in it?

[split sand]

Yeah that might be the reason, Im playing ptb

[tired root]

Then it means that the old world generating new content (||new POIs||) will switch all other POIs locations, including trader spawn points, which means looking at the world map from the website won't give correct location now.

[split sand]

Does it also include bosses?

[tired root]

Boss altars are included too. Note that the world generates only unexplored areas and switch the locations there but already generated content stay the same.

So if you have boss location on map but you haven't visited it then it might have switched to other location.

However, going back to the same vegvisir will give you the new correct location.

[split sand]

Ok thanks

[tired root]

I think you might be able to download the world file to the website for the correct locations IIRC, haven't used that myself tho.

[split sand]

Was looking for some seed with nice big starting island, but did not realise in ptb might be different

[tired root]

Once the patch goes live the website should be updated soon after to the new world gen version.

Other way to get desired locations would be using console commands.

[karmic lion]

what ptb do i need to be on to get call to arms because im seeing like 5 of them and none of them seem to be right

[true steeple]

The public test beta needs a password that you can find in the pinned messages of #valheim-public-test

[gloomy pebble]

Wondering if anyone could assit me in retrieving my items quickly and that is about it. I lost it quite far off the coast of a swamp biome to some wraiths or whatever they are and having a heck of a time getting back there lmao

I have a portal close-ish

[jovial ledge]

just use console commands

[gloomy pebble]

Which command would I do to retrieve what was dropped?

[jovial ledge]

i don't remember the exact names. You need to be able to fly and godmode.

pick your stuff, return to base and turn off the cheats. Done.

[vivid sundial]

dm the the join code, ill hop in

[lethal swift]

fly alone turns off enemy ai so you don’t even need godmode

[vestal torrent]

Anyone new to game wanna start a game with me? P.S. I am also new

Ah ok thanks!

[potent birch]

I got meshed through a wall in a mistlands dungeon and idk how to get out im on Xbox and it won’t let me turn on my console commands

[subtle parrot]

Go to settings and turn commands on there, it's now a toggle in the menu, then you can use the lb+lt+start to turn on devcommands

[potent birch]

Yeah I found it that’s

[gloomy pebble]

Hi, I tried backup a save because a couple trolls destroyed my base, killed all my boars and wolves.. the backup seemed to take my character back a bit, but base still destroyed. Did I do something wrong or is there nothing I can do?

Bit of a downer as it took awhile to get everything set up.

[subtle parrot]

Characters and world have different saves

[gloomy pebble]

I will have another look

[manic mango]

Hmm, if they destroy your base, its part of the game. just rebuild :). Dont revert to old save 🙂

Much more fun that way. Base destruction ca happen. or protect the base with a moad or something.

[gloomy pebble]

Fair enough. I did try a built a moat, but I guess not high enough. I will need to look at more protective measures lol

[manic mango]

Yeah you kinda learn a lot when your bases gets smashed or otherwise things go wrong. You die and lose gear... my opinion, the Valheim experience is that you learn from those and become tougher and more prepared, build extra weapons and bases. Not revert to earlier saves like... well... sissy 🙂

Valheim makes you tough. Resilient. Mentally strong

Or my opinion, thats the real Valheim spirit. dont let bad things stop you. Get tougher. Be a viking!

[subtle parrot]

It is supposed to be brutal

[weak temple]

Do scythes work with mushrooms yet?

[manic mango]

I would add, it is supposed to make you tough to survive that brutal world :).

[subtle parrot]

I don't believe so

[weak temple]

Your character and your world are two separate saves. You character will be a [character name].fch file while your world will be made up of [World Name].db and [World Name].fwl. What I like to do is have all my saves local on my pc and manually make backups of both my character and the world, so if I need to, I restore both the character and the world concurrently

[manic mango]

I wish to return old saves only if they get corrupted. Never to use them like a save game feature. Load a previous save if things go wrong? For me not Valheim way...

[weak temple]

I try my best, but every once in a while, I indulge. I just hate losing skill on death. Maybe I should just decrease the death penalty. Is there a way to turn it fully off?

[manic mango]

You can decrease it, and i do, but if you turn it completely off, it means you dont drop items when you die :(. Changes the game too much. I put it very easy, meaning you lose some skills and drop items. I wish they had separate slider for these two different things. See world modifiers in world selection menu. You can make combat more difficult, remove map (!!) and also increase raids to your base, and turn off portals (!!) or allow all items taken through portals. you can change these settings later though, no need to create new world.

If you put xp loss to very easy it drops a lot lot less. You can also make it so you get more resources when you dig or collect stuff, but that makes game wayyyy too easy, even if you add it a little bit.

[weak temple]

Yeah that was it. I want to not lose skill, but have items drop as normal

[manic mango]

But still Very easy is better than normal loss of skill... you lose lot less. you could even compensate with hard difficulty i guess. very hard seems bit too hard at least in the early biomes.

Some like to make portals temporarily so, that you can carry copper and tin through them, since the beginning is bit tedious. then turn it back to normal after they go to swamp. to each his own i guess. I even tried one game with no portals and it felt VERY immersive. Had reasons to build bases and ships and travel... otherwise you just go back to your main base which is "safe" place to keep all stuff. Everytime you get injured just go there. not so when you have to make many temporary shelters and traveling through ocean means something...

But wouldnt recommend for first timer

[lethal swift]

do we have a guess on how long the ptr is gonna be before it gets released to main? ik it’s probably a couple weeks or a month but i forget how long it took the last few times (h&h, hildir, witch)

[weak temple]

I think the vanilla portal system is great. I feel like I only had a to do a few back and forth trips to get as much iron as I needed. And the stone portals make it so much easier to go out and farm some quick metals when making big late-game bases that require copper or tin or bronze

[regal wedge]

I'm struggling with how to make my hearth useable. I built it but I can't put stuff on it like a kettle or cauldron. Anyone have a video on the best ways to remedy that issue?

wait nvm, I was misunderstanding the entire hearth turning red as saying I couldn't put that there. I actually can.

[proper moat]

Hello guys quick question. Is there a mod 4 valheim wich allows you to build fishing and towing nets ?

[tired root]

Better ask from folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[proper moat]

Thx

[plush knot]

any tips on removing something you spawned in and want to delete?

[true steeple]

The forcedelete command works for most objects. It removes all objects in a radius around you, and you can add a name filter to only destroy specific objects

[plush knot]

i spawned in the yagluth altar on accident and tried to force delete and it didn't work
i also tried to specifiy "location goblinking" and that didnt work either

[true steeple]

If you used the location comman that will temporarily disable world saving so it will be gone when you reload the world, unless you add SAVE to the end of the command

[plush knot]

i see i see
is there any command to heal npcs like your tamed animals?

[lapis terrace]

not really no

give them food

[subtle parrot]

Depends on how many bugs or features need fixing, it's been 2 weeks already and probably be at least another week I'd wager until it's live, but the ptb will go live when it's ready for sure

[sullen grove]

In terms of a modded dedicated server, what would contribute most to low FPS/Lag? Would having too many tamed animals or fires in close proximity affect things like FPS?
Currently getting pretty low FPS when I teleport to my friends place as they're all living in together but it wasn't like that a few days ago. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions I could try to improve things?

[subtle parrot]

In terms of mods, best to ask in #mods-discussion in terms of dedicated servers maybe better to ask in #dedicated-server
But instance count as well as lighting effects and many other things can contribute to low fps

O!ptb

[mint anchor]

Is it really a spoiler that there's bears? lol

[strong cape]

If they built a breeder to bypass the games built in limit to keep tames in an area under control that could cause problems.

[strong cape]

The problem isn't it being a spoiler. The devs just want all PTB talk in those channels as a rule

[sullen grove]

Gotcha thank you =]

[sullen grove]

Hmm that might be it as well, they've been breeding a lot of animals that are roaming around/penned in cages

[strong cape]

Grab a butcher knife and go cull the herd

[sullen grove]

Tbf they won't like me doing that lmao, I'll probably just let them know they should cull a lot of them.
Seeing as were doing modded I think I can do some work arounds for the resources they wanted from them as that's why they started taming/breeding in the first place

[topaz igloo]

No, and I don't think they are ever going to

[vapid arch]

what do i need for the ashlands. I just finished the mistlands and want to be prepared for ashlands

[vagrant oriole]

Run and jump potions are helpful, and I recommend taking silver arrows. Lots of iron bars will be helpful for integrity building grausten up high

if you're going to build with wood, bring a few shields with you, the biome sets wood on fire

[remote pivot]

guys whats the next tier of a bow after crude bow

[lethal swift]

for weapons yea take silver, anything with spirit damage, so frostner (what a surprise) silver sword, mistwalker, etc. magic too, i wouldn’t go in without a bubble staff or the friends, either

[lethal swift]

fine wood bow

[sacred mirage]

and this crazy bug that appeared in my Valheim, like I'm still on the 4th boss and I discovered it while exploring the plains, but now I went to make a mead and out of nowhere all the items were free and what's worse, I could do any one of them without having discovered the item

(my Valheim is on Steam ok and I don't use mods)

[viral cave]

Were devcommands enabled on the world?

[sacred mirage]

yes, but they were enabled, then I enabled it or enabled it later to see if it was but nothing happened
Then I closed the game and opened dnv and it crashed normally, then I enabled devcommands to see if it would come back and it didn't, how did that happen?

[tired root]

Nocost command allows crafting all items without any requirements.

[sacred mirage]

That's what I imagined, man, that's crazy, I typed that by accident kssskk ok, thanks

[tired root]

I'd personally stray away from using commands in full playthroughs as they tend to take joy from the natural game progression.

[tough hare]

You may have accidentally hit the [B] key before crafting it.

[manic mango]

Hmm, isnt there world modifier to make it so that crafting doesnt cost resources?

[subtle parrot]

There is, but they're not quite the same. The command makes it where you can just open the menu and hit craft on anything in the menu, and it gives you the whole list. Same with the build menu, it just gives you the whole lot. However, with the modifier, you still have to touch the materials to learn the recipes and use the proper benches and not craft straight from the inventory menu.

[manic mango]

Okay thank you for the information.

[regal wedge]

Um....What am I looking at?

[clever juniper]

looks a little....misty

[regal wedge]

The first good mountain i find and it's partly into another biome that i'm not ready for. If the devs are listening, mountains need to not suck as much

[clever juniper]

I would look for mountains closer to the middle/spawn to reduce the chance of encountering later game biomes

[regal wedge]

the only things I'm finding closer to the middle are the tiniest pieces of mountains and they have nothing on them at all.

Just a cold hill of disappointment. Mountains suck

[clever juniper]

https://tenor.com/view/your-opinion-gif-24573780

[subtle parrot]

I would say either your map seed is bad, or you haven't looked all around the closer regions. That being said, i do find myself having i cross plains fairly often, if even just a small patch of plains to get to some of the better mountain locations, but by then I'm usually just looking for moder and already got what i needed from other mountains.

[regal wedge]

I looked up the seed map and it sucks but I found 1 mountain and immediately got ran down by half a dozen wolves and 2 drakes

Actually starting to think I might quit

Like, if this is what I have to look forward to, I think I'll pass

[manic mango]

Dont quit yet... you just had bad luck

Wait you went to mountainns right away? They are dangerous you should go to meadows, black forest, swamp before the mountain

[regal wedge]

I'm supposed to be at the mountains

[manic mango]

Do you have the freeze protections?

[regal wedge]

I've beaten Bonemass already. I had frost protection potion. I have fully upgraded Iron. I was ready

This biome is trash

[manic mango]

Maybe you had bad luck... if its your first time, iit can be hard.

[regal wedge]

meadows was whatever, black forest was good, swamp sucked but was manageable. Mountains super sucks. I'm hating the game more and more the further I get

[manic mango]

Mountain is kinda fun when you get used to it

Tall enough mountains have silver

[regal wedge]

Ok and?

[manic mango]

It gets fun after you get used to it.. challenging and so on. Rewarding

[drowsy crane]

I understand to be honest, it's quite the challenge, but it's meant to be. You're really going to just have to move more carefully in that biome until you adjust to what waits for you. I had a friend die there about 9 times before I told him he needs to just play through on his own, I couldn't just stand around in the Mountains waiting for him to run back to his body for 4 hours straight. 😅

[manic mango]

Try lower difficulty at first if that helps. And avoid nights at first. Avoid getting surrounded by wolves. Make shelter and portal there to get away

[drowsy crane]

But! He did practice and we could progress eventually.

[regal wedge]

I've played through the whole game solo up to this point. This biome is hot garbage

[manic mango]

It is tough at first

[drowsy crane]

Tbh Mountains will probably end up being a favorite, you're just dealing with frustrations that come with new and challenging.

[regal wedge]

Challenging isn't the word I'd use. Bullshit is good

[drowsy crane]

Well it's hard to assume you aren't just being challenged when you're speaking broadly and cursing 😅

[regal wedge]

I said bullshit once but ok I'm cursing alot

[drowsy crane]

Fair, I'll edit it, but the point still stands.

[manic mango]

Most games are too easy. This one is exception... so far

[drowsy crane]

I think most people that will read this can relate to what you're saying when entering a new biome, that is a feeling most players will have until they begin to overcome the elements and triumph.

[regal wedge]

I did fine with the first 3 biomes in overcoming the obstacles

This one is a joke

[drowsy crane]

I think I had a particularly difficult time in one of the upcoming biomes you haven't seen yet, and found myself taking a break out of frustration, only to return with keen determination.

Mountains is a cakewalk and one of my favorite, but I remember the feeling of getting pounced by a pack of wolves after getting slowed by a Drake my first time there.

It can be very brutal to be sure.

My advice is move incredibly slowly, utilize the sneak eye icon to check if you're being detected by an enemy often, and look for shelter you can set up in to retreat from enemies/restore rested bonus.

Maybe you need a friend to help you show how to survive. What kind of gear you got? What level weapons and armor

Frost protection potion is not as useful as frost protection cape or armor

[regal wedge]

this is full zoom. The red path is how far I far before getting ganglands'd

The benefit to this was I was able to retrieve by stuff somewhat easily.

[manic mango]

How tall is that mountain

[regal wedge]

not sure how "tall" but this is the seed lookup i used and this is the whole island so i assume quite tall

[manic mango]

You can turn on Y coordinate from the settings in that site. 300-400+ is very tall

[regal wedge]

It is 1 of only 2 mountains inside the mistlands belt that go above 300

not by much

[regal wedge]

So after recovering my stuff and continuing, it turns out being hunted is a fairly rare occurrence and also 2 drakes at once is somewhat rare and getting both the moment I step into the biome was like 1/10,000

That said, still not a fan of this biome so far. Maybe the mountain cave will change that

[manic mango]

One you get proper gear its not that tough

But glad you didnt quit

[regal wedge]

I mean fully upgraded iron is serving me fairly well. I'll have to look into the other armors that are now available to me but after the permanent wet status in the swamp, I was ready to not have to deal with that and was just immediately met with a kick in the balls

I managed to get enough resources to make an almost fully upgraded wolf cape so now things are moving smoothly.

[manic mango]

Yeah wait till you get silver sword and gear, wont be so much trouble any more 🙂 🙂

[drowsy crane]

Super happy to read this!

[regal wedge]

Yeah I just got the worst luck imaginable the moment i stepped into the biome for the first time

I feel like I'll like the plains so gonna try to speedrun mountains

How often do the stone golems respawn? There is one that is bugging me enar the moder location

Starts the fight, A golem and mini dragon shows up. gg

[frail cave]

I be farming stone golems all the time and still no trophy

[sturdy folio]

Anyone know how to prevent skeleton spawns entirely?
From a spawner (spawning them in 1 designated spot and not outside the farm)

[frosty frost]

I remember seeing a strategy of placing wooden floors slightly above ground in the area around spawner 🤔
But since i never tried doing it myself i cant say if it actually works or not.

[sturdy folio]

I did try that, they just spawned in the floor

much the same with stone flooring too.

[frosty frost]

Hmm, how much space did you leave under the floors?

[thorn spire]

doesn't the player base structure disable the spawn?

[sturdy folio]

from a spawner? nope

[thorn spire]

oh, the swamp bone pile one?

[frosty frost]

Any destroyable spawner isnt supressed by the player base items 🙂

[sturdy folio]

This is where I've gotten to (a drastic change) and I've come to the conclusion that skeletons can spawn in quite a large radius from the spawner

[thorn spire]

right. I literally just forgot what spawner makes skellies.

[sturdy folio]

and skeleton spawns seem to be bound by the players location - as in, they spawn around wherever I am

I'm ideally trying to have them spawn in a 1 metre wide hole with a fire place like I originally had it but they spawn outside of the spot half the time, thus breaking it

[thorn spire]

hmm, wiki says the range of the spawner should be under 3m radius. you should be able to dig a hole similar to greydwarf spawner and contain them.

if you try sloping the walls, you can probably get away with one fireplace at the bottom.

[sturdy folio]

the spawner is about 8m under the raised walls

I had the floor about 2 metres higher and they'll either spawn in the 1x1 hole or in the ground outside of it.

My game keeps lagging, even at the start and on the login screen. How can I fix it?

[barren shadow]

what are your computer specs

[proud kiln]

Can you still get Odin DLC and how?

[limpid summit]

Hello, i need your help

how i can activate godmod pls

[tired root]

You cannot, people who participated in beta got access to the DLC.
The Odin cape and hood can be spawned via console commands but cannot be equipped if requirement to craft/use them isn't met.

[limpid summit]

I should point out that this is a server hosted on Nitroserv.
