Hi, is there any way to remove the heat wave and storms from Ashlands? My computer is very old, it drops my FPS a lot and also makes me dizzy.

[cunning pine]

Hi guys, I'm having a really frustrating issue!
Last night I downloaded a character editor for Valheim off GitHub. It didn’t work, just kept giving me the error message “couldn’t locate character files”. Now I log on this morning and ALL my character and world saves are gone! Any way to get these back?!

[lime wasp]

i built high on a summit and apparently smoke/fire effects cut out at a certain altitude, is there any way to fix?

[woeful valley]

umm what is this? its like mistland(pre release)

it even has a new music

its empty just like mistland was empty before release

[tired root]

Seems like some mods. Ask around https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

Does anyone here have any tips on getting to ashlands for stone portal at swamp stage

[compact heath]

||Use Karve I recommend, find a spot where the spires are close to the blue water so you can make it through and sail close enough to hop on, bring wood and portal mats and some food and armour / weapon willing to loose. Make wooden path / jump downs to get to the net spire and continue until you see land, drop some portals at least 3 on spires within sight of land. You need to be able to fight off some monsters, fire mead and poison mead could be useful to drink too when you spirehopping and there is one flying monster you need to survive too, that one is scared of torches still though, use that to your advantage, Once you have a portal close enough to land that you can get back to it, explore the Ashlands and try not to die, find one of the dungeons, yeet the cores and try to make it back to the portal before getting absolutely destroyed.||

[spark roost]

k k

[compact heath]

Also don't fight anything once on firm land

[spark roost]

right

yeah i litterly snuck in to swamp to grab some iron i made it to a spike had to fight off some of those birds

[compact heath]

and you might loose a karve etc before you judge things right and also die before you drop first portal, be prepared to loose some gear and weapon sets

[spark roost]

scary as hell how long will my portal last with storms and such

[compact heath]

||the portals on the spires even within sight of land don't usually get environment damage enough to be stroyed, they will be destroyed if there is a mob nearby that can damage it eventually thats why i said have more than 1 portal down||

[spark roost]

k

[compact heath]

||if its too close to land and lava etc it might get destroyed but out at see up high on a spire the most likely thing to destroy them is a flying monster||

[spark roost]

i already die a few times my heart is dieing solo sucks

[compact heath]

its very much to be expected to be dying a lotif you go there in swamp gear (I have done this too though just to try it out)

[pale belfry]

So I don’t what I did wrong or what happened but did a level 5 crafting stations come out yet? For me to make the other items I need level 5 but I got them all but none of my stations are level 5? Does Ashland unlock level 5 or is this a bug?

[frosty frost]

Which station?

[pure mango]

Seems like a massive pain to circumvent how the devs intended the game to be played lol, but wooden structures dont get destroyed as quickly you would think in the Ashlands, I've left out a crafting bench at ground level for days and its been fine.
Apart from getting there, its going to be entirely about not letting any of the mobs touch you because if they do you die. You might survive one or two projectiles from the charred but thats about it. Thankfully most of the mobs move slowly. But quite a few move fast.

[pale belfry]

Cooking station so far. Google tells me I need pots and pans I got it hanging but it’s not level 5 and it’s near my cauldron and other items

[spark roost]

yeah

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Cauldron Max level is 6, that one is unlocked in ashlands, but in mistlands you should have the 5
Pots and pans should get you lvl4

[pure mango]

One thing you have on your side is that 'dungeons' are frequent, spawn near the beach and arent that big. The Morgen will spawn very quickly but you should just about have time to grab the molten cores.

[spark roost]

k main thing is my nervs i wish i wasn't doin this solo lol

[pure mango]

In fact theyre probably the smallest in the game, smaller than troll caves potentially.

Honestly, it would take less time to do ore runs.

Sailing with your ore isnt that bad, its a chance to find leviathans and serepents, you will bump into biomes for your future travels.

If you sail past a huge plain biome you'll know exactly where to go when the time comes.

[tired root]

Did you ever find turnip seeds in swamps?

[pure mango]

Its going to really suck. I can only advise making sure your game was backed up recently because you will get fried in the sea and one shotted by mobs with no portal to get back to your body.

[spark roost]

yeah ik its more of hm this is a dumb idea lets do it lol and also i spent 200 hours on my last playthrough got to the ashlands died lost everything so its a bit of revenge

[compact heath]

depends how well skilled you are at dodging and things, took me less than 2 hours, helps with silver mining and iron mining and for copper needs for sconces, then also the black metal to make it easier to make the sap extractors and also BM boxes in Mistlands or making new bases, if you are a fan or progression cheesing it can totally be worth it

[pure mango]

If I lost everything I would just load a backup. Worst one I had was 8 hours between backups to the point where I fucked myself and needed to go back.

[pale belfry]

I got level 4 but nothing unlocked in Mistalnds to make a level 5 cooking station

[compact heath]

thats why i didnt take my main gear weapons and armour or anything, just 1 weapon or 2 not upgraded, 2 of each food or so, and one armour set and a hammer and portal mats and some wood, then a karve that could potentially be one use if you dont make it

[spark roost]

how do you load a backup

[frosty frost]

Look at the link i sent and read the needed stuff from second to last upgrade 🙂 the mortar and pestle

[pure mango]

Manage Saves. The world and character are saved seperately but at the same time. You need to restore each one seperately.

You'll always respawn in your bed even if your character was somewher else at the tme.

[spark roost]

so if i log out it will auto save

[pure mango]

It will save, but not necessarily create a backup.

[tired root]

Do you have spice rack built? It seems missing in that picture.

[frosty frost]

Should, its better to manually save tho

[compact heath]

Spice rack
Butcher's table
Pots and pans
Mortar and pestle

Have you got any of those missing?

[spark roost]

can i make a backup

so i go this far backup incase i die?

[pure mango]

I think the back up is based on how long since the last one, but the timing seems inconsistent. I've managed to 'trick' it into creating a backup by waking up, doing something like adding something to my inventory then quitting but it doesnt always work.

But its inconsistent.

[spark roost]

i see

[pure mango]

Usually it happens when you wake up. So you can just log out every day after waking to see if a backup was created.

[compact heath]

I'd be careful with backup cheesing too, I once accidentally loaded the wrong one and didnt notice for a few weeks, I loaded the backup just before I finished building my beautiful Odin temple

[pure mango]

I've done it a few times now, its one of the few cheeses I've allowed myself. Just be careful and you'll be OK. And if you fuck it up you can restore the backup before the backup.

I've found it basiclly essential for the Ashlands due to how common it is to die before being able to have a portal connection, and the insane spawn rate.

[compact heath]

I feel like there probably already is a few videos out there on how not to die during first Ashlands landing if not I might need to make one lol

[pure mango]

I've been what I call 'spawn locked' meaning spawns happen fastr than you kill things. You cant stay in one place because mobs can land hits on you, but you also struggle to hit them.

There are a few videos but no method is perfect especially when you come to this with inexperience.

[compact heath]

its only common to die if you're unprepared, no game rewards you as much as being properly prepared as Valheim

[spark roost]

i didn't find any about like early game ashlands

[pure mango]

If you land in Mistlands gear and you get a really nasty patch of land for spawns you will just die and theres not much you can do.

[compact heath]

the inexperience can be countered if the video covers all eventualities

[compact heath]

you can assess how nasty it is from afar and avoid it

[pure mango]

Not necessarily because welcoming parties often spawn after landing.

[compact heath]

anyways controversial opionion, Ashlands currently one of my fav biomes alongside swamp

[pure mango]

Its a good biome. The issue I have is that you dont have the tools to start there without it being crushing.

[spark roost]

you have a very interesting tast in biomes

[pure mango]

The shield generator is useless for landing. I dont know why people bother apart from its a fun toy. You only need it if you are going to have a proper base in the ashlands.

[compact heath]

Most successful landing for me: Max ML upgraded Carapace armour and buckler, mistwalker, bring a bow too, staff or protection + embers, then 1 health 1 stam 1 eitr food and some portal mats for several portals

interchangeable the food with some feasts too especially if you have mistlands feast unlocked after queen dead

[pale belfry]

I just checked I got everything. I even got two mortar and pestle. And they’re are all near my cauldron and it still stays I have a level 4

[pure mango]

I said before that ashlands would be more approachable if instead of the item you need to build the Drakkar being dropped by The Queen, instead you got a portal connection directly into a closed off structure like an empty fort so you dont have to do the beach landing.

[compact heath]

then i think one of them is a millimetre too far away to give the cauldron the effect

check if there is lines to all of them when you open cauldron, you may have to move one of the 4, that I think is the issue

sometimes it gives a line when you place it but then it disappears because its ever so slightly too far away, too high or too much to the left or something, cauldron upgrade placements can be tricky

[spark roost]

Update i made it pretty close to land i think i have one portal in a structur with a roof

so pretty good place for that

[compact heath]

beach landing is a fun part imo, and its a very rewarding quest to get this safe haven in the ashlands

[compact heath]

make more than 1 portal on spires

also be prepared to die a few times before you successfully yeet your 4 cores, most likely might need more than one dungeon to get 1 pair of portals, but technically you only need 2 cores for it as you can teleport the cores back and forth

[spark roost]

yep i have 4

k k

[compact heath]

and dont forget to grab a little grausten i forgot that at the beginning once i did that lol

[spark roost]

oh yeah thats right thank you

[pure mango]

I had to repeat it too many times to call that first time fun. And that was with save cheesing. There are people who have crafted multiple load outs and Drakkars because they kept dying on the beach before they got as far as setting up a portal.

Honestly I think the spawning situation is half baked. I get the almost constant combat was deliberate but its tuned badly so that its simply insane at times. Its crushing when you first arrive, and an annoyance later because you have days where you barely move and you cant even explore.

Multiple times I've killed a Morgen then literally a second later another Morgen emerges.

[spark roost]

yeah first time i made it i landed on an island not conected to main lland set up base and everything and then realized

[pure mango]

And sometimes its bugged out and I've got multiple mobs where there should only be 1. I was spamming skeletons and trolls so I wonder if something bugged out and the game saw a summon as a second player.

[compact heath]

usually just make a little square with earth walls and a portal then explore a bit before committing

[spark roost]

YEEEES

[pure mango]

Not a bad idea BUT anywhere you have to use the earth wall technique seems like an admission the game isnt balanced properly in that area. Earth walls are an unintended exploit that the AI has no counter for.

The way I eventually did it was landing on where a tornado rock was on the beach which acted like a natural barrier where mobs couldnt spawn or at least on the other side couldnt see me. And I guess I wasnt ontop of any invisible spawners. I set up a shield generator but its pointless, just create a stone hut for your portal. Then I spent a LOT of time spawn proofing the area around the nearest fort which barely worked but I did at least take the fort even without a trollstav yet.

I got raided multiple times in the spawn proofed area becuase the game though I was in a base lols.

[spark roost]

!!!!!!!!

[pure mango]

It would have been easier with a catapult but of course you cant get one to open a fort from a safe distance until you open a fort. Shame the cogs dont fall off the wall when you kill a balista.

Well, well done.

[spark roost]

i got the cores

[compact heath]

Good job especially with low grade food haha

[spark roost]

Thanks a tun guys

[rocky sedge]

⚠ HELP PLEASE 🙂

Hey there, first time using this discord server so if I dont do something right, please correct. But I am playing Valheim and out of no where I cannot build anything. I place a building piece (workbench, ladder, wood stack) and it builds it just fine, and a second later breaks. I am running a game through the basic Valheim game community server and the person I am playing with has zero issues building where my items are failing. I have checked the files on steam - no issues. I have tried to restart and also uninstall and reinstall - issue persists. I was directed here. Anyone experience this and know a fix? We are at a stage of building our main base in the game and this is rendering it unplayable for me.

TIA

[spark roost]

Sorry I don't know

[cunning pine]

Hi guys, I'm having a really frustrating issue!
Last night I downloaded a character editor for Valheim off GitHub. It didn’t work, just kept giving me the error message “couldn’t locate character files”. Now I log on this morning and ALL my character and world saves are gone! Any way to get these back?!

[compact heath]

Did you make backups of the characters before you tried something as dangerous as what you did? If not, the chars might be gone.

[compact heath]

Talk to the person providing the server, there is no official servers they are all hosted or administered by someone, and it might have to do with some server settings, talk to them, I bet in single players this issue will not be present.

[rocky sedge]

i am hosting the community server

[rocky sedge]

also, i logged out of the server and logged in alone - issue persists

[compact heath]

and no mods or anything?

[rocky sedge]

no, no mods

[compact heath]

hav you tried starting game from exe etc and also not making it as a server, just a solo game for pure testing purposes?

[full mesa]

did the owner of the server mess around with the world modifiers?

probably like the option to build without mats or anything

[compact heath]

also try "manage saves" on the game screen to see if you can find a character backup

[rocky sedge]

yes, as i stated above, i logged out of the server that i wa hosting on the valheim community server option you can set when starting a new game, and started a solo game alone, and the issue persisted

[compact heath]

if you used commands at some stage devcommands it could also have changed something

[rocky sedge]

i have not used devcommands

[compact heath]

hm I will think more of a solution but may be above my paygrade, looks a complicated issue and you have already re-installed it etc

another thing I'd try is making another character and world and picking up stones and wood to make a hammer and enough for a workbench and see it its still happening or if its an issue with the character file or world file maybe in some way

[compact heath]

also try the 2 different launch options, the one with vulkan and the other one and see if it happens on both launch options

try starting it in vulkan then if you didnt before, I m just trying to see what else we can come up in terms of troubleshooting

[rocky sedge]

i just tried different characters on different seeds and a bunch of combinations of them and all are having the same issue...this sucks so hard 🙁

[compact heath]

I'd also restart the pc itself but I m really confused on why this is happening

can build normally but breaks after a second

and its not a file issue it keeps happening hmmm

[compact heath]

another idea if you know how to use devcommands would be this : setworldpreset default

[rocky sedge]

i do know how to use devcommands, what does this devcommand do?

[compact heath]

resets all world modifiers that might have gotten out of whack

to the normal default settings

I don't know if there is some sort of stability modifier or something, I m just trying to help with my limited knowledge haha

[mighty ruin]

there isn't

[compact heath]

yeah not that I know of, but sometimes some things effect things they shouldn't so maybe it will help

like that's why we ask if someone ever used a mod because a swimming mod for instance can still break something that is not related to swimming mod things in any way at all

[mighty ruin]

Honestly my best advice would be to wait about 5-6 hours until the devs wake up

[compact heath]

or MaCaBre might be able to help, could be something for them haha

[compact heath]

dis good advice for something that seems such an odd issue to have

[mighty ruin]

Yes it's 3 am for him

[compact heath]

yep I know,

[sturdy folio]

@rocky sedge Please stop attempting to ping developers, that feature is removed for a reason

[rocky sedge]

Yea I didnt know...I was trying to be helpful

[sturdy folio]

You've done the right thing in asking here for assistance with the game. I'm sure players or Smiffe will reply and hopefully provide some answers when they're able to.

[rocky sedge]

Like I mentioned, never done this before and I see how many people are on this server so it really was an attempt to be helpful and direct them to the message without sifting through hundreds or thousands of them, so I was doing something that I personally would want, in order to help the players that love and support the game I've created. I am also not a game developer and don't know tech, I know construction. So, I understand better now how this server works. Thanks.

[compact heath]

Yeah never ping devs... if I have another idea how to help before they all wake up, I will let you know, and I'm sure others will too, but imho as a 2900h player your problem seems to be not an easy one, else it would have been solved already. If another player can help they will most likely @ you as well to let you know so you don't miss the new info.

[lethal swift]

does the combat difficulty slider affect the spawnproofing radius or something?

i have spent like 40m-ish on attempting to spawnproof a small swamp island but it seems impossible

[compact heath]

no doesnt affect it

[compact heath]

have you killed mountain boss yet?

[lethal swift]

no

[compact heath]

unlocks something that has a high spawnproofing radius

[lethal swift]

i did put artisan tables down with debug because i gave up and it still happens lol

[compact heath]

also if you upgrade your forge it will upgrade spawnproof radius

[compact heath]

oh i see, leeches swimming in from more than 40m away then?

[lethal swift]

nah i know proofing against leeches is annoying, it's random dragur archers and blobs

[compact heath]

you might have land nearby too shallow to prevent land mobs not spawning but also underwater so can't build on it unless you can raise ground from nearby then

[lethal swift]

thatd probably do it then, thanks

[dry wigeon]

how can i play this with my friends? do i need to setup server or something?

[compact heath]

you can host it on your pc as a "server" they can connect to you or you can set up a dedicated 24/7 online server with a spare PC or pay a 3rd party to host it for you

[worthy river]

Any effective ways to reduce spawn points near base?

[compact heath]

spawnproofing, put down torches and campfires to suppress spawns, some items prevent spawns for usually 20m radius, campfires are one of the best things and they also do not need to be still lit to still supress spawns

[fringe stump]

Anyone have a good set of instructions for non-computer savy player that needs to down load logoutput file as he is only one having trouble joining server? He gets to password but never joins

[smoky acorn]

Are they on Linux, macOS, or Windows?

[fringe stump]

Windows

[smoky acorn]

Then after the failed connection attempt, they can return to the main menu. In the bottom left corner under the release notes, they should see Show Player.log

They are welcome to stop by here and attach a copy of the log if it's not clear what might be happening. They can remove IP addresses or other sensitive information if they wish. Alternatively if you're using mods, they can post it in #mods-issues instead

Knowing what dialog they get will also be handy, e.g. "Failed to connect", "Incorrect Password", "Incompatible Version"

[manic nimbus]

Guys? How can i put Mushrooms galore á la Mistlands on the table?

[tired root]

You need to use serving tray to put feasts on table to be able to eat from them.

[grave violet]

Will we have to create a new world when the new map update drops?

[cloud lichen]

nope

as long as your world still has the requirements to update (e.g unloaded parts of the world) you're set

[mental cosmos]

Heya guys I have a quick question.
I'm currently playing in public test ( I made a new world and character) and I was wondering when the update will finally drop can I still continue to play where I left off?

[drowsy crane]

When the testing is finished, there's no set time to testing.

[mental cosmos]

Yeah but I won't lose my world and character when the testing is finished right?

[drowsy crane]

That's never been the case, unless you use mods that become unsupported/break.

[pure mango]

The gems I have left after completing all forts in my world, building all the staffs and some of the upgrades

Dissapointed I didnt get more Jades, I only have enough here to fully upgrade one weapon

Unless we are going to get more gems up north

[frail cave]

Thats wild

[ornate finch]

Check how your installation folder looks like.
It should look like this if you are not playing on the PTB - Call to Arms patch:
https://i.imgur.com/vdpdeOA.jpg

[faint osprey]

any idea when call to arms is coming

[lapis terrace]

it's out when it's ready

[subtle island]

Yeah, it's definitely an issue - esp for blood stones. Dundr is using the wrong gem currently, since it's a lightning weapon. Hopefully that will get fixed. Either way, the gems are very scarce, esp on a server where many people would need their weapons.

[burnt glacier]

Is there any solution for this already out there? My game crashed while saving and now it's not saving any progress, neither of my world nor character.

[cinder agate]

I have an issue and hope maybe someone has had it and has a fix. I have a server and have other players that connect and we play together. Yesterday one of those players died in game. At the same time, the game disconnected him (this happens often but usually he signs back in and all is well). When he came back in, he went to retrieve his body and it's not there. It shows the skull and crossbones on the map, but the pod with his name and all his stuff is nowhere to be found. Anyone had this?

[cinder patrol]

Had the server maybe some kind of a restart at the same time?

[cinder agate]

No. I was there waiting for him to pop in the base to go help him retrieve his body.

[cinder patrol]

In this case, there's not much you can do. The stuff is gone, so he'll have to get it again, or give it back to himself in single player mode in creative.

[cinder agate]

I was afraid of that. Kind of sucks but it is what it is I guess.

[cinder patrol]

It happened to me once too, but the reason for this was that the server was restarted immediately afterwards.

[cinder agate]

Gotcha. Not the case here but it was worth a shot to ask

[narrow turtle]

1 time we dead on server on the same time , and our loot positions and loot was swapped between)

[ornate finch]

You'll have to do some manual cleanup for your save files, but before that copy your saves to create a backup.
Since you are using Cloud saves, look at the above location: https://i.imgur.com/mTVKf1J.jpg?4
Copy all of those saves to create backups, then delete those that end with .stmp
Existence of those files that end with .stmp is prohibiting you from saving further

[ornate finch]

Tell your friend to head to manage saves button available in the starting menu.
Under character tab, they can expand the backup list for their character save and pick a backup to restore.
The top most save is the main save, so tell them to restore the top most auto-backup save.

[jaunty geyser]

WHy did Moder at Spawn, Justdecided to fly away and despawn forever?
i cant believe the game did this to me. I just had all the 3 fkn eggs

[tired root]

Bosses don't despawn, she just might have flew far enough so she deaggroed. You can try search her, you'll know when you're close.
Plus, eggs do respawn after some time at the drake nests.

[jaunty geyser]

I followed it to narnia. Didnt find her anywhere

[cobalt flint]

I remember there being a way to increase your flying speed when flying using devcommands.
Seems the controls for it have changed. Does anyone know how I can do this?

[edgy whale]

Quick question from a noob. I have a toddler IRL. Is there any way to safely AFK in this game in a multiplayer session?

[rough kernel]

Multiplayer sessions it really depends on the servers raid settings if it is standard rules for raids then possibly the best bet would be to log out if you are unsure of your base being raid proof

[edgy whale]

OK thanks

[stoic trench]

Is this a mod? Exploration?

[regal merlin]

yes and sailing

increases discovering range

and move a lil faster just wanted to see if i lost stats if i /die

[compact heath]

Yes, there is, have a travel portal always on you, and have a base on a spawnproofed mini island, needs to be so nothing can spawn from raids, and ideally you in an enclosed space too in case you get a bat raid, they dont damage buildings but can spawn over water

not 100% sure if other raids can spawn over water but bats definitely can

[rocky sedge]

Thank you for your reply! (I know I committed the ultimate sin by trying to tag the devs 🤣🤷‍♀️) My install folder looks good and my game started working again today. I found a reddit post from a while ago where the same thing happened to someone else and randomly their game started working again as well after logging out for a while. Who knows, it's above my pay grade, but I sincerely appreciate your help 🙏🏼

[thorn spire]

You can safely AFK at any of the merchants locations. You'll get a rested bonus too. Nothing can protect you from other players though.

[drowsy crane]

PvP toggled off will do just that.

[compact heath]

Not if you have malicious players, they can move you out of there, PvP toggled off won't help you

[drowsy crane]

That's not entirely true, you can relax at Hildir's on the benches and cannot be tampered with.

[compact heath]

ah so the benches make you 100% unmovable?

thats actually really cool then, alsthough only 1 of the 3 vendors

[drowsy crane]

My friends and I did make a sincere attempt to move an afk friend while at Hildir's on a bench, but found 0 options to do so. I think they realized we kept moving them when they went AFK and really thought hard about how to stop us. 😅

This is the wrong channel for this type of post, you should be using #1024264966712340510 .

[sharp pendant]

whats vulkan mode launch opt

[drowsy crane]

Vulkan is a different graphics API, in some cases it can help Valheim to run a bit better. It's a case by case basis though.

[sharp pendant]

okie, any tips on quality of life mods?

[drowsy crane]

#mods-discussion is the channel for that, I personally think mods are icky.

Especially for a game that isn't even finished yet. 😅

[sharp pendant]

I agree Omni 🙂 I agree - i regret not purchasing this earlier on and playing with everyone for the frirst times 🙂

[drowsy crane]

The game will have another influx of new players when it fully releases most certainly, the chance for that isn't necessarily missed. 👍

[sharp pendant]

oh word sweet when is that about - we almost at Q4 this year so probably around 2026? idunno

[drowsy crane]

I don't think any information beyond 2026 is projected, but that can always change anyways.

[dry wigeon]

Is changing my world modifiers works on the existing world im in?

[stiff smelt]

Yes

[dry wigeon]

i tried to turn on the "No build cost" but when i went back in it didnt work

[stiff smelt]

It should have. Are you sure you saved the changes?

[dry wigeon]

just press DONE

oh nvm its working now

[stiff smelt]

Huh. Weird. Ja vaiha nimes.

[tired root]

No build cost mode means you don't need to use materials but you still need to pick up materials to get the building recipes for them.

[dry wigeon]

yea i figured its only when building, not crafting

[trim rune]

Hi, I did a quick search but am unsure - this is my first time playing during an update and my girlfriend and I are not long started on a playthrough, just venturing into Black Forests. Will the new location mentioned in the patch notes (CombatRuin01, whatever that means) spawn in our world?

I know for Ashlands update the Ashlands were created as long as they werent previously explored so hoping its the same for whatever this smaller area is

[tired root]

Yes, they will be generated in unexplored areas.

Any new POIs will always be generated in areas that are not rendered on your world file yet.

[trim rune]

Nice, thanks for confirming!

[narrow turtle]

i need to do smt since valheim upd is out?

like OFF the beta test mode or smt

[clear gulch]

Does the official version contain changes other than betas? And now I can remove the public test or do I need to do something else?

[tired root]

They are currently the same version, so no changes. You can switch from PTB to live version safely.

[peak solstice]

Anybody else's cpu nearly max out from launching the game since update?

[jolly sequoia]

hi, i cant see any of the new wooden weapons in my workbench?

[frozen thunder]

wooden weapons are found in chests

[tired root]

Sword only, others are found in chests in various biomes.

[thorn spire]

Finally I can start on burial chambers again.

[clear folio]

is it recomended to start a new world for the updated content?

[tired root]

Mostly up to you, old worlds are always playable when new content is added, unless you've explored too much of the map (like undeveloped biomes like DN) so the new POIs aren't generated properly.

[little viper]

i just updated my game and i cant find any servers on my friends tab and community tab can anybody help me?

[arctic badger]

I just started playing, would I be better off making rag trousers now or waiting and making a crude bow? I have 6 leather scraps

[frosty frost]

The bow, then hunt some deer 🙂

[arctic badger]

Ok thanks

[tired root]

Bow or spear are valid ranged options.

[strong cape]

Fint Spear is more accurate than Crude Bow once you get used to it

[arctic badger]

can i use a flint spear for melee as well as ranged?

[frosty frost]

Yep

You can throw it using secondary attack

[arctic badger]

ah cool

thanks

[frail cave]

Spears are very underrated and under used early game

[pure mango]

Wow it is really hard to get trinkets to pop with melee

I went straight to the Ashlands because of the constant spawns and I still couldnt do it, even with Fader power

[buoyant yarrow]

I cannot seem to unlock the recipes for the other wooden weapons, only the sword is showing up

[stoic trench]

The others are collectibles, and are found in the world

[buoyant yarrow]

I see! Thank you

how do you craft T.W.I.G.?

[stoic trench]

You’ll need to find ectoplasm, which can be dropped from ghosts in burial chambers!

[pale blaze]

Hey so I updated my game, but the call to arms isnt on my world at all- I may just be stupid but I just woke up so plz help

[tired root]

Look at the version of the game when you launch it, it reads on right down corner. If it says version 0.221.4 then it's the newest one.

[pale blaze]

Ooo ok ok

[wheat scarab]

man how do u find 2star voars

[static ginkgo]

Enemies no longer attacking....

[pure mango]

in a galaxy far far away

[tired root]

By luck. Boars can spawn randomly with stars further than 800m from world center, but they can also spawn at the boar runestones and ruined villages with stars even inside that radius, as they are one time spawn points for them.

[bitter jacinth]

If any one is wondering how to spawn the bear with commands its code word is Bjorn

[topaz kite]

Anyone run into this error before?

[shadow sable]

After the update, I can't launch the game. After starting it, it doesn’t even run and shows no errors at all

[frozen drift]

Good afternoon can not download the game or do an update, I had to delete the game from the computer and still the problem with downloading the files because they are corrupted. https://i.imgur.com/7pqZGYC.png
https://i.imgur.com/oteCupj.png

[ornate finch]

Are you playing on windows 7?

[ornate finch]

What are you PC specs? Check if your installation folder looks like this:
https://i.imgur.com/6sVC2Pt.jpg

[ornate finch]

On which windows are you trying to run the server?

[frozen drift]

Yes

[topaz kite]

Testing win server 2022 atm, that one was on 2016, so bit out

[ornate finch]

Valheim no longer supports Windows 7. You'll either have to update to w10 or play on previous patch (default_precta)

[topaz kite]

WS 2022 is good.

[frozen drift]

ahh this is bad EA still supported win 7 64bit 🙁

[ornate finch]

The game had to be updated to new version of Unity to get the new fixes for engine bugs, and windows 7 isn't supported there, nor is any longer supported by Microsoft.

[topaz kite]

NGL, I forgot I even had a 2016 server hanging around. I was expecting it to end up being due to W10 EOL

[frozen drift]

ok i understand.

[short yew]

what does eitr do?

[true steeple]

It's used for new weapons available in mistlands

[calm timber]

Was the requirements for workbench exposure changed in any way? I can't seem to be able to use one unless I make a whole house around it.

I used to be able to just slab 2 roofs on top of it next to a tree and be fine with it.

Now this is too exposed as well (There are 2x2 walls as the back wall as well)

[olive bison]

Replace the workbench. Sometimes it sticks out a little- or is just buggy.

[calm timber]

Have done so at least 20 times by now, hence I came here in frustration

[olive bison]

I get that frustration.. best I can do is a "check for gaps"

[calm timber]

Yea, but that doesn't answer the original question I had, are the requirements changed from pre-patch to now in any way?

[stoic trench]

Nothing was changed about the workbench requirements in the recent patch

[calm timber]

Alright, thank you

[shadow sable]

Everything is fine

[stoic trench]

Just takes some fiddling around with. There hidden rays that check for structure, so sometimes you can get the angle just right

[orchid ether]

Change the roof to the peak, the one that goes up and down.

[strong cape]

the rays cast from the workbench start much higher than the top of the bench, you probably need the peaks to catch the rays coming from the upper front. and even then the positioning can be tricky

[livid umbra]

Does Valheim no longer work on Window Server 2016

[wanton oak]

I noticed that at the top of the patch notes for the new update it says that I need the newest NVIDIA drivers. Does that mean I can’t play with an amd Gpu anymore?

[frosty frost]

You can, but there was an issue with older drivers where the game crashed a lot, so its best to get the newest ones be it for AMD or NVIDIA 🙂

[wanton oak]

Tysm for the clarification! Luckily my computer freaked out yesterday (solid green screen crash while playing valheim which stranded my friend on a leviathan so I had to save him) and I updated my drivers because of that

[coarse plover]

what does this icon mean?

[frosty frost]

Bad connection

[visual mica]

How do i destroy/move a T.W.I.G?

[tired root]

With building hammer.

[frosty frost]

Clicking on the wheel doesent work?

[visual mica]

Whoops, guess i somehow missed the first times 🤷‍♂️ On another note, had to go trough like 6/7 burial chambers just to find 1 ghost for the ectoplasm, are they supposed to be that rare?

[frosty frost]

Just as rare as they always were 🙂

[visual mica]

Guess i never thought about it until i actually had to go and hunt for one🤣

[smoky acorn]

@wet wren on Linux, macOS, or Windows? What GPU? Using OS' drivers or GPU vendor's and if vendor's, what version?

If Linux, using Xorg or a Wayland server+compositor and are you using Vulkan or OpenGL graphics for the game?

[coarse plover]

My friend is hosting a server on his pc and I am getting a lot of lag. I don't recall this being an issue before?

We haven't played in a while.

[jade rapids]

The player that enters a world zone first, that client will do most of the game calculations. And with bad internet/wifi on your end or your friends, will lead to packet drops on the network, and you will have much lag.

So if the player doing the calculations have a mid/low end computer or badly optimized computer, you will all have a bad day.

[coarse plover]

Hmm we both have good internet, good computers, and live in the same city. We were wandering around a swamp for a bit and then the icon appears for me and he just walks in place for a while, then it recovers.

Most of the time it is steady, but then once every couple mins there will be a big spike where I have 10+ seconds of not getting any updated data for his position/what is going on.

[strong cape]

if you are using crossplay then you are both talking to some microsoft server so being in the same city is going to have little benefit

[jade rapids]

My guess would be one or both have low end network hardware, and when the packet queue gets full, it dumps it, forcing the game to send all packets again

[frosty frost]

Yeah, if you are both using steam turn off the crossplay if you didnt already, usually it leads to better connection

[coarse plover]

We're both on steam, not a dedicated server just me joining his world.

Good call on turning it off tho

Crossplay is a setting when he hosts the world right?

[jade rapids]

Yeah. No need for Cross play, when both are on Steam 🙂

[frosty frost]

Yep, you need to turn it off or on before starting the world as a server

[jade rapids]

If it doesn't improve, you both should run this Bufferbloat test. It did wonders for my setup. https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat

[coarse plover]

It seems much better with xplay off.

[narrow turtle]

Ghost can spawn while 1 raid , and drop ectoplasm im sure

This raid have name like "smt cold approaching you"

[pure mango]

I had the same experience but then I got enough ectoplasm and then some to make a TWIG in the last one I did
Its just an RNG numbers game, keep going
Cant hurt to have more yellow mushrooms and surtling cores

Theres at least one endgame recipe I can think of that still uses yellow mushrooms, and surtling cores are used for many things, so even at endgame the chambers are worth doing anyway

[dusty adder]

Hey, in the list of new updates it said "1 new location." Does anyone know what that exactly means?

[frosty frost]

There is a new structure that can be found in meadows 🙂

Like the abandoned villages or draugr villages

[dusty adder]

ahhh oki thank you very much😊

[wet wren]

Windows Nvidia GTX 3070 Game ready drivers

[mortal wraith]

can wolf hunts happen during a boss fight?

[wet wren]

Hi guys, asking again here. So I installed the update and the game doesn't work well anymore (very low fps,, character creation very slow and when switching between appearances beards and hairstyles flash white). Does anyone experienced anything similar? I am playing on Windows, Nvidia GTX. Game used to work well before. All drivers up to date. Tried reinstalling the game but same happens. Any ideas?

[short yew]

how do i get my chickens to give eggs?

they say they're happy

[wanton oak]

i updated my game but when i load into my world nothing is different (literally nothing)

[pure mango]

Pick up any item and it should unlock the recipes

That seems to make the script run which unlocks recipes

Even if you picked up the item before

[wanton oak]

wait nevermind the twig is called the twig

[lapis terrace]

TWIG is TWIG 🙂

[wanton oak]

but nothing about combat is different? i thought this was a combat update

[lapis terrace]

fight in slopes 🤔

[pure mango]

Do you know what the changes are? Most of the changes are quite subtle like the changes to blocking stamina.

[wanton oak]

i do not know what the changes are

[pure mango]

Pick up some bronze or iron

And you should unlcok a bunch of recipes
Based on my experience, it doesnt matter which

That seems to be what makes the game 'check' for new recipes

[wanton oak]

bars or ore?

[pure mango]

Bars
But I'm not sure it makes any difference which item it is

[wanton oak]

im out on a sea voyage lol D:

[pure mango]

Which biome are you going to?

[wanton oak]

black forest, elder was super far away and i thought itd be faster to travel by boat than by foot

[pure mango]

I'm still not sure it makes any difference but try picking up an ancient seed once you get there

[wanton oak]

ok

[pure mango]

Apart from stuff you'll need to craft, basically dodging and parrying will save you a lot of stamina, so its well worth timing them well

But it will only help if you do time them properly

[lethal swift]

do greydwarf spawners fall (like trees or rocks) when i dig below them? im seeing sources that say no but they're also years old and so i dont wanna trust old stuff and mess this up

[pure mango]

You should gain a new skill too the frist time you roll out of danger

[true steeple]

Rolling anywhere gives a small amount of dodge experience

[wanton oak]

ok so jesus christ bears have an absurd amount of hp

[viral cave]

What color are the damage indicators?

[wanton oak]

i dont remember i dipped as soon as i saw how much damage a finewood bow with flint arrows did to it

[lethal swift]

resistant to pierce (800hp)

[wanton oak]

oh ok that makes more sense now

is terrain generation ever gonna get revamped or is how it is rn final

[lapis terrace]

grey is resistant, white is neutral, yellow is weak

[viral cave]

That's why I was asking if he was paying attention

[regal citrus]

How can I verify the latest call to arms patch got added to my valheim?

I just started a new server and I don't think I have it because I can't see any of the new wood weaponsd

this is the latest changelog I see

[strong cape]

you have to go find them

[regal citrus]

ohhh okay I was wondering

thanks

[mortal spoke]

I have been crashing constantly since getting back into the game. never had problems in the past but I am on a new rig

[frosty frost]

Try to update your graphic drivers 🤔

[mortal spoke]

this has been happening before the update but I did that anyways

[calm pelican]

I can't update the game on steam. did they delay the update or what?

I really wanna play. someone help please

[compact heath]

is this steam? can you verify game files or something?

[calm pelican]

It was just a steam update. but when I restarted steam it didn't update. it was only when I restarted my pc that the steam update started and now the game is being updated. thank you so much for the help brother ^^

[compact heath]

all good, enjoy the new update 🙂

[smoky acorn]

Thanks. Windows users have reported issues with the Nvidia drivers. Have you updated to latest?

[wet wren]

Hi Justin, thanks. Reinstalled the Graphics drivers and rebooted the system, seems like it is working fine now

[lapis terrace]

have you tried the latest 581.15?

I am still on 580.97 which works and no issues

[full plinth]

@short yew make sure you have a fire near them and plenty of space

i'm trying to log in through Thunderstore on my modded local server and it keeps shutting down - no error that i can see - although a small window pops up with an exclamation point and valheim - something about Unity

anyone?

[stoic trench]

Have you tried asking here? https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[full plinth]

no, not yet - thought someone would be able to help here in this chat

[stoic trench]

Most here just stay vanilla. The users in the mods channel are usually really tech savvy and super helpful.

[manic mango]

Really? I never knew this even though I bought the game years ago...

[short yew]

why is the sky purple?? im just trying to get to the ashlands

[manic mango]

Mistlands?

[quaint pawn]

Mistland sunsets be like that sometimes

[obtuse nebula]

help! i just started playing with my wife in a private game and for some reason she needs significantly more resources to craft than i do. for example, a stone axe is 5 wood and 4 stone for me but 25 wood and 20 stone for her. did i mess up a setting???

[stoic trench]

Is she maybe holding shift or something? Sounds like she’s trying to craft 5 at a time

[clever juniper]

sounds like the resource rate in the world modifiers is different for one of you

yeah, since it is 5x, holding shift is probably more likely

[obtuse nebula]

doh, that was it, it was showing craft x5 lol thank you both

[pale belfry]

Did the console commands get disabled In today’s update?

[stoic trench]

Nope, should be the same

[compact heath]

nope

[lethal swift]

anyoen have an idea why a section of biome 6 ||(mistlands)|| would be immune to me doing ||forcedelete 50 mistarea|| as a command to ||remove the mist||

it seems tied to a structure (||maybe the giant skulls?||) but i cant tell

[quaint sigil]

I don't know where to bring this information, but the way signs were no longer works. We used to be able to have transparency when working with signs for layering purposes and design. Now it is solid color and every once in awhile you might see the silhouette of the back ground but then changes back to solid and you can see the fire from the portals but not torches. White used to show all the textures in greyscale and none of the fog elements. We use signs not only for decoration but for tricks in mazes etc.

If this is the wrong spot to post this please direct me to where it should be posted.

[woven ledge]

I'm guessing this is new prior to the update? Never had one with a star before and met with 2 lmao

[distant quarry]

auto boar farm seemingly having issues, they dont want to eat anymore :<

maybe a new design is in order for it

[frail cave]

What's needed for lvl 6 black forge

What am I missing

[grizzled mural]

are 2 star wolf cubs bigger than no star? they keep getting stuck at the top of my breeder, also one of the wolves keeps rotating

[stoic trench]

Have you crafted a spring at an artisan table?

[frail cave]

Yes

Black forge is lvl 5 how to make it lvl 6

[stoic trench]

Do you have a bloodstone from the Ashlands?

[frail cave]

Yes

[stoic trench]

Oh jeez, I’m too tired
5 is the max level currently

[frail cave]

Oh wtf

[tawny phoenix]

Deep north

[tired root]

They have always been able to spawn with stars. Guess you're really lucky/unlucky. 🍀

[arctic badger]

What does it mean when an animal has a star next to its name?

[compact heath]

no star means its level 1, level 2 = 1 star, level 3 = 2 stars, makes it stronger and bigger etc and gives more loot

[arctic badger]

What can I get from a 1-star deer?

[strong cape]

more loot

[compact heath]

extra deer hide and meat

[shadow cairn]

why can't i accsess the commandbox on xbox since the update?

[compact heath]

I have heard some people on xbox might have a bug that causes this, just rumours, but its not intentional as far as I m aware

[shadow cairn]

do you happen to know how to fix it?

[compact heath]

no, the new update hasn't even been out a full 24h

[shadow cairn]

i figured that was the case but hey no harm in asking

[compact heath]

sure

[lapis terrace]

that is unfortunately a side-grade what happens when players use a feature we didn't intend to exist in the game.
and it's not going to be fixed either :/

[finite roost]

is there some way to add the password too the ip when i add my server to the browser? so i dont have to type the pass everytime

[compact heath]

not without some sort of mod or other program thingy not sure what those are called

[onyx kernel]

What's the best trinket and forsaken power for melee?

[tired root]

I'd say the best is subjective, since there are so many playstyles. Some like those that grant HP or stamina on activation trinkets, and now with changed forsaken powers they now offer more than ever.

Swamp tier trinkets are nice IMO. Then there is crystal heart that blends well with the new armor sets (overriding weaknesses).

[loud island]

why is the building system so hard? Why can't it be simple like other games? i love this game but can't build anything big.

[tired root]

For building big, you need better supports for your building. At black forest you can get bit better wood for support and in next biome after that you gain material that has even stronger support ability.

[woven sparrow]

does structural integrity count things like decor, chests, lightsources and so forth?
Or is it just for floors/grounds

[craggy moat]

For some items I believe like the wall mounted torches can break if placed on the deep red structures (I'm not entirely sure as I tend to try keeping everything at least red and below)

[woven sparrow]

aight, thanks
if need be i'll just need some more iron poles to reinforce

[craggy moat]

Are you building a home?

[woven sparrow]

big ass castle!

[craggy moat]

I recommend building stone floors then building wooden floors above them it gives a solid foundation to the structure and allows more availability and support especially if you also support the corners of the building with poles/beams

[pure mango]

Its not a longhouse, its a longhome 😊

Do you have grausten yet?

[tired root]

Longhouse longgone.

[woven sparrow]

i got smth like that going, but i could actually put stone under my wood floors maybe that'd stabilize it better too

[craggy moat]

trolls messing up my buildings :[

[woven sparrow]

thanks for the advice tho!
the structural integrity stuff was really tricky to get into at first but now im getting the hang of it

[craggy moat]

I'm always willing to share my advice on building I try my best to build historical accurate buildings in the game and a lot of them require good structure

[woven sparrow]

That's really cool honestly!
i got my stuff for now figured out for now tho, iron poles in the corner and then crossed for the roof was good enough

also the experimentation is really fun once you actually have the mats to spare

[arctic badger]

Which wiki is better?

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

https://valheim-wiki.com/Main_Page

[rancid patio]

i use:
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Valheim_Wiki

[compact heath]

stability becomes a lot easier once you're in the third biome (and also once you learn some tricks)

ah I saw you already have that ^^

[quaint sigil]

That's very unfortunate, it was a really cool feature especially for the people that don't use mods. I'll forward this to our building server discord. Thank you for the information it is much appreciated.

[sullen tide]

is there a way to increase draw distance/LOD? like maybe 1.5x or 2x, the vegetation pop-in is quite ugly

[lapis terrace]

some people already started to tinker with the new version 🤔

[quaint sigil]

Yeah I saw that, I am keeping up hope that they find the way. It's essential to so many cool builds that use sign tricks. Nothing like going into a maze that has trickery with signs and crystal to trick your eyes. 🤞

[sturdy folio]

How does one keep an asksvin contained to kill greydwarves and at the same time not destroy everything around it

[thorn spire]

you'd have to use smooth earth walls.

[tired root]

One doesn't. They are menace to soc... krhm base. 🙂‍↕️

[thorn spire]

make sure you've dug down deep enough below the gd spawner (I'm assuming) that it can't break it.

[sturdy folio]

yep, all covered on that front

[thorn spire]

Asksvin are worse than frightened lox in a black forest.

I always have to seriously over-engineer my lox pen so I can put Asksvin in there later.

[tired python]

Does anyone know if devcommands were disabled on Xbox or if there’s a different way to access them now?

[frosty frost]

Look into settings, i believe you have to re-enable console now 🙂

[woven sparrow]

i read up that you can appairently mine an entire leviathan by quitting before it starts sinking, does this still work? don't really wanna waste any chitin

[frosty frost]

I think it still should 🤔 but you dont really need chitin for many things 🙂

[woven sparrow]

aight, thanks!

[west basin]

HELLO ALL,
im trying to make a greydwarf farm, but they dont seem to spawn near my wolves,
is that as expected or could it be something else?

[thorn spire]

the spawner wont' work if there's a roof above it. Are you completely enclosed?

[west basin]

No ive cleared the roof,
there is a 4x4 space of exposed land where I have my wolves
but dont spawn,
they do how ever spawn in a 4x4 patch away from the wolves,

are wolves concidered players?

[thorn spire]

No, tamed wolves are player faction, but you still need to be present in the area for the spawner to work.

[west basin]

yeah im here,
actually, they still do spawn when I stand in the patch with out the wolves

[drowsy crane]

I don't know much about spawners, but it could be something to do with the limits set on a spawner so they won't spawn an unmanageable amount of mobs.

These limits are present when breeding.

[west basin]

pope,
i am clearing them as they spawn,
its 3 for grey dwarf spawnerd

[thorn spire]

So I've found something similar happen. Usually at night I'll run around my walls and snipe everything outside my boar farm. I noticed a much higher rate of mob spawn when I culled my boars. Maybe there's a limit on mobs in the area?

[west basin]

but they do still spawn, just not where the wolves are

[drowsy crane]

Right, that'd obviously up the count of mobs nearby.

[thorn spire]

If you have a spawner, they should be limited to spawning within a 3m radius of the spawner.

[west basin]

right but if I kill the mob, the mob count goes back down,
I am Confident it is not a mob count issue

[thorn spire]

and your wolves are in a pit under the spawner?

[drowsy crane]

Alright, hopefully you can solve this then! I am afraid I don't use spawn farms and have little intel.

[west basin]

yes, right next to it, deffo in range

[thorn spire]

Wow, that is complicated. I think you'd be better off just having one open pit around the spawner.

[radiant pike]

when i use the /stats command, part of it is cut and doesn't appear on the console, anything i can do?

[frosty frost]

Use it in chat, then open chat again and use PageUp and PageDown buttons to scroll 🙂

[radiant pike]

yes, i know that, the problem is that is cut, at the top

[radiant pike]

normally it should appear like this, but i can't scroll further than that so

i suppose there is a limit on the display

[cursive estuary]

what can i do with this area

can i make a wood farm there?

[short ridge]

any idea why these pigs wont eat?
they have space and food

[frail cave]

Not enough space

Animals need i think 5 meters per animal

[pure mango]

PETA would like a word 😅

[short ridge]

ive seen worse

[junior moat]

Is this the right place to ask for a body recovery service??

[tired root]

Those are very finicky sometimes. The food must be just right to them eat, too far away and it cannot eat it.

[pure mango]

In game you mean?

[junior moat]

I would hope so

[stray locust]

Any advice to defeat yagluth solo?

What I need?

Since potions, until weapon, which arrows, armor... I know is gonna be a looong battle

[jade rapids]

Every Boss should be able to defeat by using what stuff obtain to that biome in the game.

[pure mango]

For Yagluth, melee seems to be the way, ranged looks really tedious.
I would say prioritise health over stamina, the fight isnt too hard on stamina, and as long as you kite him round the stone pillars youll always have somewhere to retreat and build stamina back up.

You need the health for the very hard hitting attacks which you wont always dodge.

The best weapon is the silver sword. Its a big investment of silver, but it will become incredibly useful again when you go to the Ashlands.

[tired root]

I just today defeated him with Crystal battleaxe, pretty good choice too. Frostner is also solid choice, or Blackmetal sword/battleaxe. Anything pierce won't be as effective.

In my bow only run it took around 180ish frost arrows and having bows lvl 80 to defeat Yagluth.

[grand turret]

guys

what do i need for the swamp boss (I'm full iron)

[junior moat]

iron mace and shield, that;s it

oh and posion resist mead

[grand turret]

allright thank you

[tired root]

And best foods available.

[strong cape]

take a hoe and make a nice flat area to fight to the boss in so you dont end up in the water

do that before summoning the boss

[frail cave]

is there a vision board of valheim?

[plucky pollen]

I'm rather sure that I have passed 30 minutes on hatching eggs but they don't hatch, what am I doing wrong? They are warm and have a roof.

[fervent birch]

||Once you defeat Brenna she starts to raid you||

[short yew]

ahhh

[lethal swift]

did you use fang or did you use huntsman? i think huntsman is better against yag because of the poison immunity + cheaper stam cost

[short yew]

sorry wrong chat! was going to post this in screenshots!

[tired root]

I think I used Draugr Fang, at lvl 80 bows the attack rate was so fast it didn't matter too much.

[radiant pike]

alright i managed to fix it, the same way you fix anything in valheim

by installing a mod, lol

[zinc jacinth]

Anyone ha ing issues with trying to get Devcommands to work on Xbox?

[frosty frost]

Is it that you cant open/type into console?

[zinc jacinth]

@frosty frost yeah I've done it a million times but yesterday would not work

[frosty frost]

Look into options 🙂 you need to re-enable console after the update

[zinc jacinth]

Into options? I don't understand

[frosty frost]

Eeeh.. I am not on xbox so i am not sure exactly where to go, but i think it should be in some sort of xbox, or game settings accessible without starting of the game 🤔

[zinc jacinth]

Well damn 😳

[obsidian lake]

hello, does someone know why this happen? at nighttime one direction is extremly dark

[frosty frost]

I dont see anything that strange 🤔

[frosty frost]

Just try looking into any settings regarding games or specifically valheim you can access and look for something like "enable console" option 🙂

[zinc jacinth]

Maybe I ask in the Xbox bugs chat

[frosty frost]

Yeah, might be worth a try 😄 i will also try to look it up a bit more

[zinc jacinth]

@frosty frost Thanks for the help

[frosty frost]

#xbox-bugs-discussion message
Try this 😄

[tawny solar]

Can I find the new ghosts on another world I created a month ago?

[frosty frost]

Yep, you just need burial chambers you didnt explore yet 🙂

[tawny solar]

Oh ok, thanks!

[willow zodiac]

i wanna say thats normal in the dark forest

[hybrid kraken]

Any other than me having issue where my latest saved deleted from cloud and local after update, the only thing left is save on cloud almost 1 year ago, my progress on ashland literally reset to the day i step into it

[willow zodiac]

did you play PTB or do anything special with the world? modded or otherwise?

[lethal swift]

does the mistlands just refuse to spawn structures sometimes? im looking at the seed viewer and so far like 5 of the 9 spots that are mines on the viewer just... dont exist. not even like its a structure but isnt the one that's listed, its just nothing but a massive pile of rock in the place

[willow zodiac]

Ive had that issue in the PTB with structures only caves and boss spawners work just fine

I've heard they could be shifted a bit

[thorn spire]

I think when new content is loaded, it can shift the location of stuff. The viewer may not be basing data off of the latest version.

[lethal swift]

i checked both versions of the viewer and it's not that

and half the mission structures i was looking at before the patch came out

[hybrid kraken]

No, i just take off from playing valheim few months ago i just update to finishing my build today and my save file character and world status is deleted the only backup is on may 2024

[covert trail]

Can uninstalling mods break a world? I'm asking because I uninstalled Marsara Tweaks, Monstrum, Monstrum vanilla & Deep North & the mods that rely on them, as well as the config files, & yet, while all the stuff related to those mods' gone, the vanilla bears that're supposed to spawn in the Black Forest with the Call to Arms update, which I know I have since I can make the wood sword now, still aren't spawning. & before you ask, I did in fact verify my game files' integrity.

[frosty frost]

Try putting your world files into it 🙂

[lethal swift]

oh so true i forgot that it has that option, i was just typing in the seed of the world im in

[frosty frost]

Its usually best thing to do when you have a world that has gone through multiple patches 😄

[frosty frost]

You sure Its just not bad luck?

[covert trail]

I'm asking a serious question here.

[lethal swift]

if you spawn a bear using console does it actually spawn; if yes its probably rng and not broken

[frosty frost]

Well, i am too, rng Is rng. I was looking for a bear for around hour or two not long ago without finding any.

[covert trail]

Yeah, but before now, the world I currently play in used Monstrum; which adds its own bears to the game. Black bears in the Black Forest, & Grizzly bears in the mountain.

[covert trail]

I don't know the console commands because I never use the console.

[frosty frost]

Mods could probably break something, they can do all sorta of crazy things. But i am more asking how you came to conclusion that none spawn for you. How long are you looking already? Did you try spawning to make sure they can exist in the world? Did you try using the find command?

[frosty frost]

Are you playing on Steam?

[covert trail]

Yes.

[frosty frost]

Go to properties of Valheim and put -console into launch options

[lethal swift]

if you have console enabled (-console in your launch options) you just

||devcommands
spawn bjorn||

[frosty frost]

Then in game press F5 once you enter your world and use the two commands Sophie gave. Also try || find Bjorn ||

[jade olive]

Ok question I had 2 sap extractors on a tree branch, kinda hard to get on. Any ways one disappeared so I thought ok bad guy got it and I didn't know and so it proofed. I put a bench up to protect the other one. So now I go look and well now that one is totally gone. Any idea how it can just totally disappear with no parts behind?

[obsidian lake]

idk why when its turning into night, when y look east its so clear and when looking west its really dark (both ss where taken at the same time), does anyone have a solution?

and its in every biome

[frosty frost]

Are you playing on solo world?

[jade olive]

Wel its the lights sourse form the moon comming form one direction. You might want to change some setting to help fix it a bit other wise this is how it looks.

[jade olive]

Yes I am

[frosty frost]

Then i sadly have no idea if thats the only weird thing happening to you, Its not even attacked on sight or anything and if it was a faulty save issue then there should be more things changing/dissapearing.

[jade olive]

Yeah its just completely gone. I have some land issues that is common in some places. But never an item just gone like that. Especially with a bench near by I would all ways have the parts.

[obsidian lake]

i assumed so, i was asking if it happened to anyone else because i already tried changing settings and i can't find a solution.

[covert trail]

& @frosty frost once I figured out how to tell whether or not the console was on, the spawn bjorn command worked.

[sweet fox]

Hello, good evening. Sorry for the inconvenience. Does anyone know why the command console was disabled on Xbox since yesterday's update? It won't let me access it.

[frosty frost]

Alrighty, now kill it and try find bjorn next. Should ping any bears nearby. You might need to move throughout the forest quite a bit to find one since they are a rare spawn. 🙂

[frosty frost]

You need to enable it in settings now 🙂 after that it should work as before

[sweet fox]

I have an xbox series s and before it was lb+lt+menu but now that doesn't work

[frosty frost]

LB+LT+Start?

[sweet fox]

Yes

[jade olive]

If you tried all ingame options, then have you tried your monitor and see if you can adjust in there. That can also have be an issue it may be set to low possably?

[frosty frost]

Even after enabeling it in options?

[covert trail]

That command worked too; I found a one star bear, & even with my fully upgraded heartrender, it was pretty tough. But now I also have another problem; the only wood practice weapon I can craft is the wood sword; is that supposed to be the case, or did something go wrong?

[sweet fox]

Yes

[frosty frost]

Nice so it was just rng then 😄
And yes sword Is the only wooden weapon you can craft, others have to be found throughout the world.

[frosty frost]

That Is strange 🤔 maybe folks in #xbox-bugs-discussion might have an idea what to do

[covert trail]

That's definitely not how I would've done it.

[tender dawn]

hello! has anyone had any trouble with planbuild since the update? everything seems to be working just fine but whenever I try to place a plan that is save in my bluebrints, the "Mouse 1" doesn't work, it's as if my mouse button is not working.

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-issues might be able to help you 😄

[loud island]

still not working I have no clue what I'm doing wrong

[tired root]

Screeshot might help, you can post them in this channel (as long as related to the thing you need help with).

[loud island]

all the blocks are red and new ones keep breaking

[tired root]

You need to add vertical iron poles that are connected to the ground.

And iron cage floor piece can be easier to place to support (at least for me), but horizontal iron poles work too.

[plucky pollen]

The bonfire I build keeps turning off and on and I have no idea why.

[sturdy folio]

Anything above it? Rain?
Fire places need enough smoke ventilation otherwise they choke out - if you will

[tired root]

Bonfire doesn't get affected by rain, but yeah smoke can extinquish it if there is no room for it to get out.

[fossil spire]

Hello.
I have problem to connect my dedicated server.
My client ver is 0.221.4 like a sever at hosting( here and here i get upd to newest version). My friends can normaly connect at the server. What i can do to fix this?
P.S.
Im a owner a server but only i have that problems. Even people from hosting can connect normaly.(I write to them with this problem and they can't help me)

[plucky pollen]

Yea, it was the ventilation, thanks guys.

[pure mango]

#dedicated-server but I would reinstall the game if was me

[fossil spire]

I reinstal many times... Not works. If was problem dedicate server my friends can't connect, but the can normaly play.

[pure mango]

Maybe ask in steam bugs then, sounds like a local problem surely?

[ornate finch]

Have you tried restarting the server, and then when connecting to it, delete the existing server entry and add a new one via IP:PORT

[viscid summit]

how can I build the training dummy please?

[tired root]

You need the new drop from reworked ghost. Its spawning hasn't changed.

[viscid summit]

thank you

[fossil spire]

When i restard server and i dont see him at favorites i can connect but it is not solution my problem becouse my friends connect normaly.

Its dedicated sever on hosting.

[ornate finch]

Did you remove it from favorite tab and add it again but via IP and PORT?

[fossil spire]

Yes. Not working.

[ornate finch]

How does your game installation folder look like? Like this or do you have more files there?
https://i.imgur.com/6sVC2Pt.jpg

[ornate finch]

That looks fine. So you can connect the very first time you add a server to your favorite list, but then when you attempt connecting for the second time you get incompatible version error?

[fossil spire]

No, i can connect only when i restart server and i dont see his paramets at "favorite list". When I can see ver and users online i can't connect.

[ornate finch]

And then you always get incompatible version error?

[fossil spire]

Yes.

[ornate finch]

Will DM you about this. Sent you a friend request.

[surreal yacht]

@fossil spire were you able to figure it out? I have a similar issue (but I'm the only one who has tried connecting to the server). I'm hosting via valhost and it says that my server is running version 0.221.4 but I get the same error message when joining (server is running an older version). I've tried restarting it several times and removing it from my favourite list

[solid heart]

Guys, I need help. I was playing with crossplay activated even though I'm playing solo.
While I'm hunting surtling, suddenly it all dies one by one. I'm not even attacking. There's also crossbow shooting sound in the background.
Is it possible for other player to get inside my server without my knowledge?

[fossil spire]

I think its problem with MyWorld. I can connect to orthers worlds but only at this i can't connected. I try to locate that problem.

[red belfry]

did some recipes change? i have forge lvl 2 and also bronze, but i still cant make bronze nails, the only things im missing from dark forest is bear trophy, skeleton trophy and killing the elder, also i dont have the recipe for the new head piece from bear set

[frosty frost]

You should be able to make the nails as soon as you get your first ingot of bronze, in lvl1 forge.

[ornate finch]

They die instantly in water.

[solid heart]

HOLY CRAP! SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!

[ornate finch]

It's unlikely that you have the same issue as Wesoly here. You should be able to see which version is your server running at before you try connecting to it.

[surreal yacht]

Yeah, it says it's running 0.221.4

I tried reseting the world (generating a new seed with a fresh fwl and db file) and could connect. When I restored to my last backup (still 0.211.4) I'm unable to reconnect. @ornate finch

[covert hedge]

hey ! What happens if I got +20% blunt provided by the vileboe set and the trinket "Bracelets of the brave" giving +10% blunt aswell ? will I get 30% or the higher buff (20%) will be the only one happening ? 🙂

[frosty frost]

I think those should stack 🤔

[true steeple]

They seem to be applied separately, so you'll deal 132% blunt (1.1 *1.2 = 1.32)

@frosty frost

[covert hedge]

ty

[wheat scarab]

how do i know if im playing on public test ? i wanna try and use the planbuild mod but i cant place things and maybe i am playing on the public test

[true steeple]

It doesn't matter right now because the public test and stable versions are the same

[wheat scarab]

Ah so i need to wait for the mod to update then atp?

[frosty frost]

Pretty much

[drowsy crane]

Also for future reference, it should say beside the Valheim title in your game list "[public-test]"

Though it's unclear if we will even get another public test before 1.0

[ornate finch]

How did you setup your dedicated server?

[narrow turtle]

How damage scaling works in deep?
Like why mosquito can damage 5-20 while i in the same armor and just use different food

[pure mango]

Can you rephrase your question? I dont understand

[stoic trench]

Food doesn’t have an effect on your armor rating 🤔

[true steeple]

Maybe because of damage variance?

[narrow turtle]

but 4-5x diff is crazy

[true steeple]

How much armor do you have?

[narrow turtle]

101

[pure mango]

Were you wearing the root harnesk before?

[narrow turtle]

1 piece give any pierce res?

if ye it could be a case

[true steeple]

The root harnesk (chest armor) has pierce resistance

[narrow turtle]

no , i tanked 5 hits for test / it was 7-21

[covert hedge]

when an item gives you like +20 in a competence, does thin mean if have 100 in this comp your overhaul comp will be 120 ?

[frosty frost]

Nope, skills cap at 100

[wheat scarab]

do some ppl slide or get bugged whenever twig was built?

[tranquil wigeon]

i got 8 bronze and ive already made a cultivator and an anvil for my forge but i can't decide on wich i want the sword or the axe since my axe damage skill is 29 and i'd have to start all over again with my sword skill

[frosty frost]

Make axe, you need it as a tool 🙂 you can use it as a weapon but for that purpose sword will be better
Tho axe also has the benefit of saving you a slot if you use it as a tool and a weapon

[tranquil wigeon]

i do want it as a weapon wood isn't really a problem right now thats why i can't decide between the axe and sword

[frosty frost]

I dont mean for faster cutting of wood 😄 but certain wood types need certain grade of tools to be cut

[strong cape]

you need a bronze axe to cut down trees your flint axe isnt able to

I dont think the bronze pickaxe lets you mine anything new but the durability increase is worth it

[tranquil wigeon]

i don't really explore much tho ive made my house at where i spawned and only places ive been were the meadows and dark forest can't really go to the mountains since ill freeze but the woods in those bioms haven't really been a problem with me cutting them

[frosty frost]

Try birch 😉

or oaks

[tranquil wigeon]

yea thats the only one lol

[tranquil wigeon]

there are oaks????

i guess the axe would be better at the mean time then?

[frosty frost]

Yes, and those trees will give you a new type of wood 🙂

[tranquil wigeon]

alrighty thank you :3

btw are trolls rare?

[frosty frost]

Somewhat, yeah, but you usually encounter one or two if you are in BF for a day or more 🙂

[tranquil wigeon]

ohh alright thanks

[willow charm]

Q is there a code for weather to make it stop raining

[frosty frost]

Yep, enable devcommands and use env Clear command

That will make weather always clear until you restart the world

[willow charm]

👍 ty ;-D

[final rune]

The archery target for training bows, what is the rate at the experience gain and is there any difference to using a different type of arrow?

[frosty frost]

It gives you 33% of the experience hitting an enemy would, bow and arrow type doesent matter 🙂

[final rune]

Oh boy, okay yeah I saw it was very very small. Better to just go out and hunt then

[spark lantern]

Is there a way to paste a self hosted world onto an externally hosted server?

[frosty frost]

There should be a way to upload your world files to dedicated server, i would ask in #dedicated-server and also search a bit there is anyone asked before 🙂

[spark lantern]

Thank you

[viscid summit]

it just dropped a chain?

[frosty frost]

Wraiths are found in swamps and drop chains.
Ghosts are found in black forest burial chambers 🙂

[west basin]

hello all,
should the tool shelf upgrade my forge? ive placed it but the level did not go up

[frosty frost]

Tool shelf is a workbench upgrade 🙂

[west basin]

ahh

[vestal gyro]

guys i jsut started a new runw ith my friend but we can t fidn any difference in fighting mechanic in valheim

is the call to arm update public or not yet

can any body tell me please

[frosty frost]

Yes it is out 🙂 it mainly fixed cases where you couldnt hit enemies just slightly above you on slopes

[vestal gyro]

what is nt tehre new bear

[frosty frost]

#valheim-patchnotes message Here you can look at abreviated or detailed patchnotes 🙂 depending how much spoilers you want

[vestal gyro]

is the bear out yes or no

[west basin]

yes

[frosty frost]

Yes

[mellow kiln]

Is there a chatroom or another special place where someone could send feedback to the devs about the combat patch ?

[pure mango]

Well the patch is live now so you could take it to #suggestions or if you'd rather structure it as a back and forth then #suggestion-discussion

The devs arent in there replying to people normally but I'd imagine they read them
And in any case thats your best option

[frosty frost]

Basically form a suggestion, put it in the first channel and then people can react and discus it with you in the second channel 🙂

[mellow kiln]

I'm not after replies just have a couple thoughts I'd like to pass on after doing a full run with that patch

[frosty frost]

And you need to put a 💡 at the beginning of your suggestion

[pure mango]

Just be prepared to be likely informed its something thats been brought up already. People have been tested the patch extensivley before launch.

[mellow kiln]

thanks for the tips I'll do that

one thing that's not combat patch specific, did the lower spawn rates in ashlands got rolled back ?

can't find any mention of it; but I got hammered by swarms of 10+ mobs on the regular during this run

[frosty frost]

Nope, nothing should be changed in ashlands specificaly

[frosty frost]

Thats pretty normal, was much worse in ptb ashlands 🙂

[mellow kiln]

I played ptb ashlands and it did look a lot like it

but f it's supposed to be like that I'm fine with it

[pure mango]

I think it might just be RNG and faulty pattern recognition.

I tried out a couple of the new trinkets in the ashlands and it felt pretty quiet in comparison actually, actually kind of frustrating because my adrenaline kept dissolving before I could find another mov.

The ashalnds is just probably a bit broken with spawns. More than once, I've killed a Morgen and instantly a new one spawns in the same spot. That means either the respawn window can be 0 seconds long, which isnt good design imho, or its not working as expected.

[little viper]

Hey i was wondering if there was a way or a mod or something where you can increase the resource harvesting amount if possible

[frosty frost]

Why mod when you have world modifiers for exactly this?

[little viper]

i get your point but i was wondering if beside the world modifier there was a same thing

to increase it more

[frosty frost]

You would have to ask in #mods-discussion for that. 🤔
But frankly, unless you are playing with 5+ players even the x3 feels like too much

[little viper]

it does yes but im lazy

thank you for your help tho

[frosty frost]

Glad i could help 🙂

[civic pelican]

Back in the day the grass didnt look blurry,

But now when i look up other people talking about it in the server they say its supposed to be like that

I know when i turn ssao off its normal but than the general game looks much worse

Why did the grass start looking so bad?

[frail cave]

About ready to fight fader, any suggestions

Have all gear lvld as far itll go and skills are maxed

[drowsy crane]

Are you referrring to the depth of field setting?

[golden laurel]

whats the console command to reduce stamina usage 50%

[sour bloom]

Dumb Question: Has anyone figured out a method of fast skill levelling using the T.W.I.Gs? Can you arrange multiple to increase XP gain or anything like that?

[stoic trench]

Find a way to hold left click while afk, come back to 100 in fists

Not sure if that would work, unless you found a way to keep your HP regen up? 🤔

But honestly, if I had the intention of doing that… I would just use console commands to max my skill 🤷🏼‍♂️

[mortal wraith]

k i might be crazy.... isnt there always supposed to be a seeker den near dverger towers in mistlands?

[stoic trench]

Not necessarily

[mortal wraith]

rip

not a single den so far, might be blind though

[final rune]

Are random piles of ||Grausten|| stones in ||Ashlands|| on the floor a thing? Keep finding them and there were no explosions or stones there previously

[stoic trench]

Can you spawn berry bushes and small trees using commands? 🤔

[late trench]

Hi, is anyone else having issues after the update? I open the game and when it's at the world generation stage, it crashes immediately without giving me any error codes or anything. However, if I download the stable version before this update, it works fine.

[compact heath]

no issues whatsoever for me, are you using any mods by chance?

[late trench]

i never used mods

[lethal swift]

what should i prep to bring to ashlands? currently im planning on bringing stuff for like 3x portals and some iron for a stonecutter but idk what else other than every buff potion i own and the best food i can

[compact heath]

Make that 4 portal mats 🙂 and make sure to have unconnected ones at home, apart from that if you can carry it etc could also bring some mats for the generator

[lethal swift]

ya was gonna have some unconnected portals at home, the generator is something i forgot tho thanks

[final rune]

Maybe some stone with the stonecutter to set up some quick shelter. What Leng just said also for the shield generator and bringing some bones to power it can help. You're best friend though will be getting that portal to go back for any mats but also as an escape for when things get hot

Think like maybe enough stone to encase the portal and maybe making extra thick walls of stone (avoids fire damage). You can of course portal to get more stone but that landing spot you hit will be important. Ashlands is very hardcore if on Normal world modifiers even and if solo

[plucky pollen]

Do you guys think I could build a cellar after I build a house already or would that be a bad idea because of static?

[frosty frost]

Lay some iron beams across the floor all the way from one side of the house to another and out to the ground, make a grid like that and it could work 🙂

[plucky pollen]

Hm I don't have iron beams yet. We are about to beat Yagluth tho.

[frosty frost]

You have to have them if you ever smelted iron and picked up wood, iron wood beams should be the actual name in game iirc 🤔

[plucky pollen]

Ah you mean the wood beams that are reinforced?

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[fallow lynx]

why da chickens like the corners so much

[plucky pollen]

They are the warmest place in the enclosure since they are 90 °

[fallow lynx]

fair

walls are prob too hot since 180

[karmic hearth]

It's an oddity every tamed animal does.

[woeful valley]

its the third time i am facing this issue, whenever i am fighting with bonemaw in ashland something just pull me to the water( its like floating) and i cant do anything i dogde but its just float and go deeper in water

is it a glitch?

[bleak mesa]

hey can you find the enemies in already explored areas ?

[woeful valley]

i guess mod made this issue

[reef narwhal]

Im currently trying to build a cellar right now for one of my builds but the ground under its floor has water apparently how do I remove the water from it

[thorn spire]

Sadly you can't. Water will appear when you get low enough.

[reef narwhal]

Damn

[misty oak]

Heyo, do any of you know of someone that had problems with Connecting from a Linux PC?

to any kind of server that is

[naive lichen]

how the hell do i transport copper

its so heavy i can take ~20 at a time

[woeful valley]

use cart

[thorn spire]

Carry it, cart it or sail it home.

[woeful valley]

dont make it too heavy though XD

[naive lichen]

i didnt know they existed cause i didnt even make a forge yet

[thorn spire]

your first load of copper is going to have to be shank's mule. (carry it home)

[naive lichen]

😔

[thorn spire]

once you get the forge ( and some other ore), you'll be able to make bronze nails for the cart.

[woeful valley]

yes carry few copper and the half amount tin

[naive lichen]

should i make a bronze pickaxe immediately

[woeful valley]

yes if u want to mine too much

make tools first i would say

[naive lichen]

i wanna make full bronze set so i need a faster pickaxe

but is the bronze one noticeably faster

[upbeat garnet]

i would suggest making first a bronze weapon, makes fighting easier. it is you who is going to have to chose thou :P

[thorn spire]

do you have tin ore yet?

[woeful valley]

that depend on difficulty the new fist claw (idk what those called) are pretty good though

[thorn spire]

Yes, but the antler pickaxe can be repaired on site at your copper node.

[naive lichen]

i do but not really a lot

[naive lichen]

ok

[woeful valley]

its should be half amount of copper

[naive lichen]

i have them

[naive lichen]

i wanted to get like 60 copper first then tin

im close to the 60

[woeful valley]

i suggest u make cart and tools( not weapons) first

[naive lichen]

you cant repair the bronze one at a workbench?

[upbeat garnet]

you need a forge to repair

[woeful valley]

yup u will have antler pickaxe for use too

[naive lichen]

ok

[woeful valley]

for repairing i would say u make poratal so u can teleport waste stuff and repair pickaxe

[naive lichen]

why dont i just make portals for transporting the copper? i have 9 spare cores

[woeful valley]

yea try that XD

[naive lichen]

okey

[woeful valley]

u should read the copper description and see if there is a sign on copper

[naive lichen]

oh

how does the portal even work do i get through it and if i have non-teleportable things it wont work

[upbeat garnet]

if you have non teleportable stuff, the portal will show you a text to inform you

[naive lichen]

ok

[woeful valley]

there are some things which u cant teleport just like metals

asland is too hard for me these skeletons are alway come to me, looks like they love me😭

[upbeat garnet]

best of luck in Ashlands :)

[woeful valley]

fk ashland man 🙁

some kind of elden ring shit lel

[naive lichen]

is this a good cooper repairing thingy or can i make cheaper ones with the same utilities

[woeful valley]

oh yea throw those copper in campfire

it will smelt

[upbeat garnet]

you need 2 new buildings to smelt

[woeful valley]

nah just throw it there

have u encountered skeletons?

u have to explore black forest more and u will find dungeon loot that then come back here

[upbeat garnet]

they already found dungeons, as you can see :o

[woeful valley]

ok then make the furnace and charcoal kin or something

[naive lichen]

i have 2 furnaces and a kiln i just wanted to know how you would build your next to copper deposit workbench to repair pickaxe

[west basin]

my game file corrupted, i have restored a previous version but it has reset my map (nothing explored)
any where to restore this?

[misty hollow]

i build it similar to yours. i build 4 walls and 2 roofs and put the workbench as far as possible in the back to be able ro repair my pickaxe

[sick lotus]

Why cant i post in the Suggestion channel? my discord just does an angry shake

[pure mango]

Did you put a lightblulb on it

[frosty frost]

Did you put 💡 at the beginning? 😄

[sick lotus]

yes

[frosty frost]

Ah, did you try post more suggestions after one another?

It is on slowmode i believe

[sick lotus]

first time i didnt. and i got auto msg from a bot. then when i did add bulb. my disc just does a angry screen shae like being mad at me xD

hmmm maybe it's the slow mode

[frosty frost]

Yeah, you have to wait out the cooldown like if you would already send it

[sick lotus]

but my first suggestion never made it through xD but i guess it tagged it anyhow so ill have to wait xamount of time now

[frosty frost]

I think it technically still gets "send" but then bot removes it since it doesent have the lightbulb. So you get the cooldown anyway 😄

[fossil spire]

I have the answer - in my situation problem was a off crossplay. My hosting fix that option and i can connect now normaly when crossplay is ON.

[tranquil wigeon]

is there a way for me to increase the max weight i can carry?

[viral cave]

||Haldor sells a belt that gives +150, fishing + Bog Witch unlocks a mead that can be brewed for +250, multiple forsaken powers give extra||

[upbeat garnet]

Find the shop keeper and buy an item there, need to check the name

[tranquil wigeon]

idk who those are 😭

[upbeat garnet]

Shop keepers

[tranquil wigeon]

where are they?

[upbeat garnet]

You will need to find them

Or use a website to see the map

Your choice :x

[tranquil wigeon]

nah

[static fiber]

Megjingjord

[tranquil wigeon]

where can i find em?

[static fiber]

1000 meters away from spawn minimum

[upbeat garnet]

Haldor is in a random black florest

[tranquil wigeon]

my god bruh

[static fiber]

Bog witch swamp

[upbeat garnet]

Bog witch is in a random swamp

Happy exploring! 😁

[true steeple]

Every trader has 10 spawn points and they'll appear at the first one you approach

[static fiber]

Hildir meadows

[tranquil wigeon]

idk how to find swaps everything ive found till now are black forset mountains and medoes

[tranquil wigeon]

oh so just visit the first black forest i was at?

[static fiber]

Not nececerely

[tough hare]

Swamp is the area with all the dead looking trees and the occasional ones with green pustules on the trunk

[tranquil wigeon]

yea i haven't seen anything like that yet

[static fiber]

In the game my friend and i did we were at mountains when we found haldor

[tranquil wigeon]

idk how to explore the mountains because i keep freezing

i prob need a specific armor but idk what

[static fiber]

Yes you do

Or frost resist mead

[true steeple]

Mountains are the fourth biome, have you killed the third boss yet?

[static fiber]

You need Wolf cape

Or lox cape

[tranquil wigeon]

THIRD?????? bro i can't find any summoning things other than for the deer

[static fiber]

Lol sorry

[tranquil wigeon]

it's alright 😔

[static fiber]

Did you explore burial chambers?

[strong cape]

if you havent fought the black forest boss yet then you need to go exploring the blackforst more. look for the red stone tablets in burial chambers or ruined towers in the black forest

[tranquil wigeon]

yea i explored two of them one for the smelter and another one for the uhhh coal making thingy

[tranquil wigeon]

wait ive seen like 3 of those red things don't really know what to put there tho

[static fiber]

You need to find vigvigyr elder rune stones

[strong cape]

the small square ones, just like the one next to where you hang up the deer trophy at the stone temple

[static fiber]

Stones with red paterns

[tranquil wigeon]

yea i found like 3 of those

[tranquil wigeon]

???

[static fiber]

Eiktyr or the elder?

[strong cape]

then you should have a location on your map for the 2nd boss

[static fiber]

The elder*

[tranquil wigeon]

okay so it did mark the place with red marking you are talking about but it placed the location in this like other dimension kinda?

i think it put it in the map for the chamber

not the normal map

[true steeple]

Burial chambers don't have their own maps

[static fiber]

There is no map for chambers what are you talking abaut

[pure mango]

Name is WWE belt

[tranquil wigeon]

idk the map was grey and there was nothing in it when the mark was put

[static fiber]

Because you didint explore there

[strong cape]

its showing you were to go, but it doesnt show the area for you until you get there

[static fiber]

Yeah

[tranquil wigeon]

wait so it's showing me another place not the one that was the red markings at?

[pure mango]

If you look at the map in a burial chamber, you will see the overworld map

[static fiber]

Whene you are in your world press M that will open the map then scroll down to un zoom

[pure mango]

And your position relative to it but underground (youre technically actually above the world but thats a whole other thing)

[tranquil wigeon]

WAIT YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT I JUST WASN'T ZOOMING OUT ENOUGH

[strong cape]

this is the gameplay loop. when you first start there is a vigvigyr stone that marks the location on your map for the first boss. when you get to the blackforest you will find more stones to help you find that areas boss. repeat once you get to the swamps

[static fiber]

There you goo

[tranquil wigeon]

I AM SO DUMB SORRY 😭

[static fiber]

No you are not

You just did not know

[strong cape]

its really not explained well to look for the small square stones or what they do

[true steeple]

Doesn't hugin have a message about them?

[tranquil wigeon]

i don't think he did no

but damn thank you so much guys :D

[strong cape]

like at the very beginning I think telling you to click the first one

[static fiber]

Mayby he didint reed hugins instructions

[tranquil wigeon]

he just told me to explore the chambers

[static fiber]

Welcome

[tough hare]

Yes, but only at the one from Eikthyr.
However, I think it's mentioned to look for other ones as well.

[worn barn]

I mean, who actually reads the bloody manual? NPC dialog pop-ups? <skip> <skip> <skip> <---- that's most of us 😂

Admitedly I'm an RTFM kinda guy but I've also missed a lot over the years due to <skip> <skip> <skip> lol

[worn barn]

FWIW if you hit <tab> and click on the Raven icon on the right side panel, there'll be a list of things the bird has told you (if you've talked to him when he shows up)

[tranquil wigeon]

oh alrighty thank you :3

Hi, I just started playing Valheim for the first time with my boyfriend, we killed the first Elk boss and were instructed to go to the Black Forest next by the crow, if I remember correctly. But in the forest there are Bear enemies that are incredibly tanky and one-shot us. Is this power scaling supposed to jump that drastically? I thought fire arrows would be dealing damage to it but even they didn't. Are we too early to go to that area?

[true steeple]

If they're one-shotting you, you aren't properly prepared. You should have leather armor and a level 3 shield, or at least level 2.

[frosty frost]

Are you eating properly? They should not be able to one shot you.

[jagged folio]

we had full leather armor, top bottom and head and yes we are eating properly (I think) 3 types of food

[true steeple]

Slash damage works best so using an axe in melee combat is good. If they're giving you too much trouble you can hold a torch because they avoid fire, and their hearing is limited to 15m so they won't attack you if you avoid them.

[tough hare]

"proper" food would mean cooked meat (at least 2 for HP) and honey for stamina.

Also, upgrade everything you have to the highest tier.

[true steeple]

One health and two stamina foods is also good if you'd prefer

[jagged folio]

Thanks, just felt odd that they have such insane HP or whatever their deal is. We also encountered a large golem or troll idk what they are but they were killable

I was thinking if I set it on fire with fire arrows it'd be dealing good damage but it didn't

[true steeple]

Bears resist pierce and blunt damage so an axe would be your best weapon against them

[frosty frost]

Oh the do have lots of hp 😄 and they resist most types of dmg

[jagged folio]

is it supposed to be a rare enemy in the black forest?

[frosty frost]

Somewhat rare, yep

[jagged folio]

We must've gotten super unlucky then haha, encountered bears like 4 times thanks for the help!

[frosty frost]

Oooof, and here i was not long ago looking for one for about an hour xD

[worn barn]

As a long time gamer I find the power in Valheim impeccable. The best gear from the biome you're in is adequate enough to get started on the next biome, the smaller mobs are manageable and the larger ones can be dealt with if you're clever and patient. Once you start in the gear for that biome things of course become easier. This repeats throughout the game and I think they've done a splendid job with the balance of things.

[surreal pagoda]

Hi! Been exploring most of my starter island and built a few shelters/huts here and there.. but wanting to settle on a location for a more long-term base. Any suggestions? (I hope the Black Forest areas are visible enough)

I'm taking it slow and haven't started mining anything yet, so BF proximity would be good. I suppose settling on the coast would be nice long term (transporting things with boats etc).

Happy for both general things to keep in mind and for specific ideas 🙂

[frosty frost]

Tbh the south most tip seems quite nice, meadow clearing, close to BF and you can start exploring towards the south since you will eventually need to go there 🙂

I myself would probably go to one of these places, but the ultimate decision would come from how the terrain itself looks like there 🙂

[surreal pagoda]

The eastern part is interesting for sure. I'll go scout it out a bit again I think. Any advice on how close to the forest it starts becoming annoying? 😄

[frosty frost]

If you can see the trees only in distance you are ok. If you can imagine 50 wooden floors or beams laid out in a line then i would suggest at least that distance 🙂

[surreal pagoda]

This might work well. Little bit of a natural harbor, some space to build (and can cut down trees for more if needed. BF in view but not cramped (I think)

[frosty frost]

Looks great honestly 😄
And yeah, the BF is far enough that you should not be bothered by its creatures 🙂

[surreal pagoda]

Thanks for the input!

[barren yarrow]

did they change the buttons for acces to the console in the recent update for xbox?

[frosty frost]

Go to game settings and enable it 🙂

[barren yarrow]

thank you, is there a way to aslo disable stamina use?

[frosty frost]

Only with commands

Do you want to completely dissable use of stamina or just lower it?

[barren yarrow]

disable

[frosty frost]

setkey StaminaRate 0 is the command for you then 🙂

[barren yarrow]

whats the base value to change it back?

[frosty frost]

100, keys usually are a percentage 🙂

[regal citrus]

Any reason my unlimited boar farm might not be working?

I was hoping if anyone had a way off feeding them better

[barren yarrow]

is there a way to increase xp gain for skills?

[frosty frost]

Yep the key is SkillGainRate again default is 100 (%) so just set it to whatever you want 🙂
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Keys also this page has many other usefull keys if you want 😄

[regal citrus]

nvmn I figured out theyre in a frightened state

will boar eat food while you're near them?

[frosty frost]

Yep

If they are tamed that is

[regal citrus]

I'm not sure how to prevent them from this state where they're hearing stuff

alert state I guess

[frosty frost]

Not sure really, i never make these farms

[regal citrus]

ye me neither usually, I just wanted to try something different, it's np

[hasty marten]

how can i removedrops on a hosted server, im admin ingame and it doesnt work

tried on server console didnt work too

[frosty frost]

You cant use most commands on dedicated servers, even if you are admin.
