[crimson surge]

He still has 2 of his finger pillars up, we've destroyed 3 of them. So, as I'm kiting out of mechanics and fire, I'm getting stuck on rock shards and such. I tried to clear more plains, drop benches, and kite him farther away, but I end up needing to kite far and always end up getting spawns. With a friend, one of us could usually get his focus and the other could get some attacks on his tail. I'm strugging to get into melee enough solo. On normal, I stay in and tank some hits, use a health pot. I'm finding I can't tank any hits now. So, a bit stuck.

[steep tusk]

Hmm. I have always pulled him away from the altar into a large flat area. Making sure I have cleared any tar pits in said area prior to summoning and then just workbenching to prevent most spawn.

[crimson surge]

ya, I can try that a bit more. It isn't a big plains, its on an island with mistlands, so I cant go too far. I need to bury some benches, they keep dying and then I get respawns as the fight is lasting multiple days

[steep tusk]

Oof. Might just be unlucky altar RNG if you don't have room for fight prep 😬

[crimson surge]

Well, maybe not that small, but not flat. I could probably clear more of the island. I don't know what gives me the best chance. I'm farming feathers right now for more arrows. :/

[steep tusk]

In all my times killing Yag I think I've fired arrows once just to test if silver was good.
They are dogshit and need to have the same stat spread as frost will the majority of their damage being in spirit -- then they will have a place.

But I just sword him to death.

[crimson surge]

Have you had luck doign that on Hard or Very Hard as a solo player? 100% just curious, not trying to talk about game skill or something, just wondering if solo at higher difficulties necesitates good rng or better strats, or, if I just need to make more room to strafe/melee him

[steep tusk]

Hard yes. Haven't done a full VH run yet.

[crimson surge]

Congrats. Alright, ty, inspiring me to give melee another go. I have to reclear the villages and build some hidden benches. Yag meteor'd all my spawn prevention. lol

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword claps him.

Also Tasty Mead.

[crimson surge]

VH solo seems insane. I got it done with 4, and most of the time, at least 2 of us were playing, to ping pong bosses/enemies

Ya, I was using Frostner, but I think I'll use the last of my silver to get my sword leveled up. Faster attack animation sounds good.

[steep tusk]

Faster attacks mean you stack the spirit dot more.

[crimson surge]

Does it stack, or refresh duration?

[steep tusk]

Stack.

Poison is the only one that "refreshes"

[crimson surge]

good to know, ty. I think the new plan is to clear the area more, more benches, grab maybe a frost blob or two for 'oh shit' distractions so I can heal, and try to melee again.

I appreciate the tips

[steep tusk]

Poison needs love, which is why I did a rare thing and made a #suggestions post the other day about it.

[crimson surge]

I'm a bit sad that the poison blobs to nothing to him. I was hoping at least reduced damage since I have a lot of blob trophies

If this doesnt work, the next idea is something I've done before but takes so long: breeding lox and letting them loose on him. Also a bit harder since he's spawned now.

[frosty frost]

Swords and clubs have the same swing speed tho 🙂

[crimson surge]

Really? Frostner animation feels like it locks me in longer. Swing speed is the same, but are the animation frames the same? It could just be my perception

[steep tusk]

If real, this shouldn't be real 😭

[frosty frost]

Agreed on this, maces are slower weapons comapared to most swords irl 😄

[frosty frost]

Should still be pretty much the same i believe 🤔

[crimson surge]

Well, given that then, would silver knife be good/better? to stack more spirit dot?

[steep tusk]

Sword fast, axe medium, mace slow is just like.... standard for all games that have melee weapons 😭

[frosty frost]

You are loosing dmg there because it does pierce too

[crimson surge]

ah, ya, ty. I'm just here learning. 😄

[frosty frost]

Anything that does pierce is sub-par choice for Yag unfortunately

[crimson surge]

And to be honest, with my whole question line, I probably could do it with frost arrows. I had 200, and I did find a rhythm of poking out, and it was working, but I ran out of arrows, got frustrated and went to melee him and got hit with blue fire. Fire spread is on, it burned my stations down. By the time I got back, he was healed.

[true steeple]

Faster attacks don't create more damage. Stacked damage over time just adds the new damage to the unticked damage and recalculates damage per tick.

[plush lynx]

What do we know about the deep north update? Anything at all helps

[crimson surge]

Then I misunderstood what Sevrahn said. If it adds new damage, that is more no? Do you mean it doesnt tick faster? I used to play a lock in WoW; so I'm curious how this is being done.

Multiple stacks of the dot, if it has any effect, should increase one of the following, no? :tick speed/duration/or dmg per tick

[true steeple]

You can look through recent #news posts. We've seen some new creatures, new locations and one weapon.

[vagrant pulsar]

Where in the mountains do you find silver

Not seeing any silver deposits

[crimson surge]

Underground, with the tool from Bonemass

[tired root]

When you wear wishbone it should blink when you're close.

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh

I am in a small area and I keep dying to stone and stuff and not seeing any

[tired root]

Also you want to look around in mountain high enough to have obsidian and drakes.

[vagrant pulsar]

I haven’t killed boneless yet

[crimson surge]

And one tip that helps, you can mine the silver regularly, but it is nice to undermine it and expose it all, then when you break a piece it will all collapse (works on other ores too). Small mountains may not have silver, usually have to be pretty high up.

[true steeple]

So why are you in mountains?

[vagrant pulsar]

Yeah saw that but can’t break obsidian

[true steeple]

You'll also need an iron pickaxe for silver

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh

[crimson surge]

You can get luck and see one poke out of the ground, or you can use stagbreaker to try and find some (look up videos to show you how), but killing Bonemass is the easiest way.

[tired root]

What I meant is that silver requires high enough altitude to spawn, which obsidian implicates.

And what Blob said, you need iron pickaxe.

[crimson surge]

Ya, gotta do your time in the swamps first. 🙂

[vagrant pulsar]

Tbh I thought maybe if I can get iron without fighting

[crimson surge]

Keep an eye out for yellow flowers to get turnips and some good new foods. Watch out for Wraiths from above at night.

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

I can kill wolves but stone golems nah

I used a mace still got bitch slapped lol

[crimson surge]

Ya, you need to get some iron tools/weapons. The swamps are everyone's least favorite, at first, but after you figure out how to deal with blobs/drauger, its chill.

Make some poison resist mead as you start hanging out in there, it helps a lot early on.

[vale hamlet]

heya guys i want to create a new casual valheim server but im using g portal and cant remove password. has anyone had this problem?

[crimson surge]

When you get back to the mountians, for golems, I like finding an incline to fight them on. Keep them on the high ground, their swing attack doesnt aim down. You can get a few strikes in and then roll back (downhill). I find that easier if I mess up the exact roll timing.

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

[crimson surge]

Have fun man, the first playthrough is such a good time.

[vagrant pulsar]

How can you get wolves to travel

Like does a boat work or something

[steep tusk]

Boat is the only way.
I usually just tame a new one when I move.

[vagrant pulsar]

Well I got wolves but my teammate is not likening them bc I want to use them for a fight

We doing bonemass today if we can get our iron armor maxed out and our primary weapons iron maxed out

[unreal dirge]

Hello, I need advise with a problem I'm facing on a personal world (single-played localy, no mods). It seems I lost the progress for Hildir, I had all the coffers since time ago but now when I go to the shop she's selling me only the basic stuff and the coffers aren't shown in the scenery. If I go to the black forest tomb where I get the brass one (it was pretty near Hildir), the tomb is, of course, already empty. I tried to go to another of the locatiosn for thatt tomb but nothing appears there. Is that only one of those Hildir dungeons for each type is really placed in the map and the other two locations are fake hints?

[frosty frost]

No idea why the chests dissapeared, but it seems you got the marks before the CtA update, since that moved POIs around you need to remove the ? pins and click on her table again to get the correct locations

[noble jacinth]

Why isnt the trees or anythiung loaded when I join my friends world? Like i can join but i cant see him or buildings or anything

[frosty frost]

Seems like connection issue

[noble jacinth]

Well could be, but I can see him on the map and everything but nothing is loaded, and after a while i get kicked out

But there is an icon in the top left corner, like a pc and x and something

[frosty frost]

That means connection issue, yes

[noble jacinth]

How can I fix?

Nvm fixed it

[frosty frost]

Tbh, no idea, try to restart the world, turn off crossplay if you are both on steam, turn off any VPNs you might have

[steep tusk]

You got wolves prior to Bonemass?

[unreal dirge]

Done, the ? are now placed at differet locations indeed. Thank you

[vagrant pulsar]

Ye, I got a 0 star one bc they came outside the mountain and got it in a hole

[steep tusk]

I wouldn't really take them to Bonemass because he may just poison them to death as they are too dumb to not stand in the aoe.

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok is root armor good?

Like good for bonemass then mountain?

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

My buddy want iron I was thing root or iron

[steep tusk]

The only time I ever build iron armor is when I am filling out my decorations for my permanent base.

[frosty frost]

Both are solid choices 🙂

[vagrant pulsar]

Root is that much better ?

[steep tusk]

Troll gets you to Mountain just fine.

[frosty frost]

Not really, both have advantages and disadvantages, but better is always personal preference 🙂

[subtle parrot]

I went from bear to fenris most recently

[steep tusk]

Rag -> Troll -> Wolf was my progression for the longest time.
With the new update it will be Rag -> Bear -> Fenris

[pure mango]

Root armor is a lot about the root harnesk because of peirce resist, but I dont think bonemass does any
Its also a bit faster than iron armor in the same tier, but iron armor has more armor points

So for dodging around, use root armor, for soaking up some of the hits, use iron armor

You can use a mix of the two if you want

[steep tusk]

Bonemass is a zero-damage fight, so armor is meh.

[pure mango]

Not everyone is super skilled though

I like how heavy armor gives you room for comfort

[steep tusk]

He has 3 attacks that are full 3s+ animations. It's not about skill 😄

[pure mango]

And I dont think wearing heavy armor can make your rolls less effective like it might in soulsbourne games?

Some people dont know about learning attack patterns though.
If youve only ever played something like assasins creed youre going to be used to pressing the same button until the thing is dead.

I have a little webcomic which exmplifies this...

[steep tusk]

AC is the story of Desmond so I stopped caring when they killed Desmond 😬

[steep tusk]

@ornate brook CHEMISTRY

[pure mango]

I stopped playing assasins creed when they stopped putting prince of persia on the box lol

I did play a bit of black flag. Iron gate please make a pirate game.

I've said before about my theory that the ocean biome patch got cancelled because they are working on a seafaring game next and wanted to save ideas for that.

[unkempt finch]

what is the difference beatween Block Armor and Block Power

[frosty frost]

Block armor is a stat used for calculating if you will block the hit, and block power is knockback to the enemy you are blocking

[unkempt finch]

so if the Block armor is 90 and the enemy does less than 90 damage it blocks the attack?

[true steeple]

This shows how armor is used to reduce damage https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor

[frosty frost]

Eeeeh, i never got into the blocking calculations really, look at the page Blob sent and maybe also here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Blocking

-# Ah, it leads to the first page anyway xD but cant hurt to read both 😄

[true steeple]

If the physical + lightning of an attack after block armor is applied is more than 40% of your health (or less if the stagger bar isn't empty), the block will fail

[unkempt finch]

that makes no sense for me kinda :/ english is not my first language

[silent tinsel]

is bear or troll armor better currently?

[worn barn]

Better for what? (is the question)

[silent tinsel]

just overall? like i want good stam, health and not be slow

[worn barn]

Stam/Health is based on food - Troll Armor lets you sneaky sneak better, Bear armor lets you fighty fight better. They do different things. Neither has a slowing effect.

I'm not try to be deliberately obtuse here: they really are two different things, the Bear armor has 1 point better armorwise but makes you vulnerable while boosting combat ability. Troll armor improves your sneak.

That's it, nothing more complicated than that. What's your playstyle? Choose based on that - the armor value is a negligible difference.

[tired root]

Experienced players have been previously able to get to the mountains in troll armor, now same with bear armor. So both armors are valid options to enter the swamp.

If you want to maximize armor rate without movement speed penalty, the highest armor rate would be bear chest, legs and bronze helmet.

[sand tapir]

where do i find my world saves?

[manic mango]

%APPDATA%\..\Locallow\IronGate\Valheim\

[lapis sequoia]

So I've installed Vortex to mod my game, the mods seem installed but whenever i launch the game it doesn't recognize any mods at all despite the cmd prompt of BepInEx opening at the start

Any ideas of what im possibly missing?

[fiery coyote]

my inventory is not full, but It doesn't auto pickup items anymore, why?

[true steeple]

Asking in #mods-discussion will get better answers

[true steeple]

You might have disabled auto pickup, try pressing V

[lapis sequoia]

Thanks

[fiery coyote]

I have made good holders for my roof but why does it still say red or orange I don't get it

[steep tusk]

Define "good holders"?

[fiery coyote]

I can send a screenshot here?

[steep tusk]

Yes

[fiery coyote]

first and second floor, on second floor the pillars dont hold the roof well enough for some reason, and it's red and decays my base :/

[steep tusk]

Because wood doesn't do well for 2-story buildings due to its stats.

[fiery coyote]

so I should just remove my 2 floor 😭 ?

[steep tusk]

For now. When you get better materials your build options expand.

[steep tusk]

Once you get corewood in the BF you can build slightly higher. Swamp enables stone building and ironwood which drastically expands your options.

[quasi vault]

If it's red but it doesn't break it's fine, it doesn't decay, the color just show how much support it has so you know the limit

[misty apex]

guys is there brightness setting in-game? cause in night i can barely see anything

[drowsy crane]

Not currently, most monitors have an adjustable setting, or a preset for gaming/movies/etc.

I would give that a shot if it's a problem for you

[misty apex]

so adjust from monitor setting?

[drowsy crane]

If possible it's worth a shot!

[steep tusk]

Is this while using a torch?

[misty apex]

no, if using a torch, i just see only nearby me small around, but the evironment so dark can't see anything

[steep tusk]

That is kind of how one defines "nighttime" 🤷‍♂️

We are not cats, we cannot see in the dark.

[spare vault]

Sadly no, the night is dark except on brighter monitors

[steep tusk]

I would say night is as dark as it should be 🤷‍♂️

[spare vault]

On my monitor it's not very dark at all

I wish I could make it a little darker but...

[misty apex]

is it normal then?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[drowsy crane]

There are reports of different players unable to see anything, while others hardly notice a lighting difference at all. It can vary depending on monitor settings/graphics card/on-board graphics suite settings/etc. This is why some games have a brightness tuning option where there's a logo and a slider with the instructions to adjust until something is hardly visible. I assume something will be done in this area, but for now just try to make some adjustments so you can navigate at night at the very least. There's enough reason to be outside during the night that it will be necessary.

[steep tusk]

Dverger Circlet also helps.

[next aurora]

Okay I’m late as hell but there’s a workaround if you’re still in need (and it will help you play other games on win7 too)

[torpid otter]

If a boss is spawned in solo and players join in after it was spawned, does its health increase for each player or does it only get higher if all the players were in the server when it was spawned?

[frosty frost]

Yes the boss will scale up to 4 additional players even then 🙂

[lethal swift]

is there some kind of command to remove the build protection inside of dungeons? or would i need a mod to do that

[frosty frost]

Yep there Is, let me just check what it Is exactly...

setkey DungeonBuild

However this works only for normal dungeons, not Hildir dungeons. (Or maybe just Sealed Tower, i don't remember checking the other 2 🤔)

[steep tusk]

setKey HildrBuild when? 😭

[lethal swift]

and this just changes it forever

[frosty frost]

Yes, untill you reomve that key.

[lethal swift]

(i vaguely remember the last time a setkey was mentioned at me i was told i had to redo it every time i opened the world)

alr ty

[steep tusk]

The only thing I use setkey for personally is increasing starred spawn rate (because there is no slider for that 🙁 )

[manic mango]

I am playing in a hostel in Riga, and it is full sunlight outside and this room has no curtains. Man it is impossible to see anything

[manic gyro]

It's health doesn't increase either way, but it's defence will increase dynamically for each nearby player

[patent grove]

Hello, does anyone know what kind of trophy this is? Or is it from a mod?

[steep tusk]

Where?

[true steeple]

That thing on the wall is a galdr table improvement

[steep tusk]

I don't see any trophies.

[patent grove]

Ohhh snap

Thanks a bunch, was breaking my head over that. Couldnt find a trophy like that anywhere but it just looks like one.

[true steeple]

It's the inside of an asksvin trophy

[patent grove]

Would look very cool on a mantle 🙂

[deep pebble]

are mobs physically bigger on harder combat difficulties, i swear they are

[tired root]

Yes, they get some more size, damage and attack speed on harder difficulties.

[true steeple]

Their speed is increased together with their size

[steady viper]

wait, really?

I honestly didn't notice that and I've been playing on very hard for several hundreds of days 😂

[frosty frost]

Yep 😄 if you want to see what stuff the combat setting changes you can look here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers#Combat_Settings

[steady viper]

oh, dang... I knew about damage, but speed is definitely evil lol

guess now I know why running away from stuff didn't work as usual

[gleaming sun]

is there gonna be a free trial for the game or smth? i heard about that somewhere

[frosty frost]

Eh? For Valheim?

[gleaming sun]

yeah

[frosty frost]

No, it costs 20 Euro/Dollars

[gleaming sun]

yeah i know, some dummy said there was gonna be like a 4 day free trial for valheim for a week or smth

[frosty frost]

Hmmm, steam sometimes does things like that for some games, but i would be surprised if for valheim 🤔

[true steeple]

On the microsoft store you can get a free trial which allows you to play for a short time (two hours?)

[frosty frost]

So basically similar to how you can refund on steam if you played less than 2h

[pure mango]

Steam does free weekends, generally its for MMO types games though

Possibly with the 1.0 release but I wouldnt hold your breath

It might launch at a sale price, but on the other hand the price might go up

[dusk prawn]

hi shouldnt I have the cold status

its night

[drowsy crane]

No, advanced armors have better insultation.

[tired root]

Do you wear lox cape? It grants frost resistance.

[dusk prawn]

yes

but I thought when youre wet it doesnt work?

[tired root]

Any source of frost resistance (gear or mead) overrides weakness to frost.

[dusk prawn]

lol

[tired root]

Also prevents cold effect during night.

[dusk prawn]

I thought its different when im wet

im like 100% sure it used to be like that a couple years ago

[tired root]

IIRC it used to be different long time ago, but not anymore at least.

Might have been before H&H update back in 2021.

[dusk prawn]

yeah I played like 400 hours before that update xD

thank youu tho

[tired root]

Nice, I started playing after H&H in 2021 so I have no other experience before that than what I've read from patch notes. 👍

[gleaming sun]

can somebody tell me why my health and stamina meads NEVER work? i mean NEVER.

[true steeple]

What happens when you try to use them? Nothing?

[gleaming sun]

they always just have a red cross on them and the effects dont apply

[true steeple]

Could you send a screenshot? I'm only seeing a red cross over the cooldown status effect, not on the mead item.

[spare vault]

Maybe you drank too much of them & built up an alcohol resistance?

[gleaming sun]

what

[gleaming sun]

sorry but i cannot send one because i have a problem w/ my account and still fixing it. But its basically that when i drink a mead in the top right corner it shows the mead like always but with a red cross

[true steeple]

So your cooldown isn't ending

[white slate]

where do i get fishing stuff? i only got harpoon that i crafted so far

[spare vault]

You can buy from haldor, or (very rare) find one in frost caves

[gleaming sun]

thats super strange. Also i think health meads dont have a cd but they also have a red cross

[true steeple]

All health, stamina and eitr meads have cooldowns

[gleaming sun]

hmm, but i still shouldnt have cooldowns because i at least wait like 5 mins

[frosty frost]

The mead regenrates your missing health in quick burst, same with stamina, is it possible you just missed it doing that?

[gleaming sun]

nope, it really just doesnt do that at all

[frosty frost]

Also no effect around you character?

[gleaming sun]

there is like that glowing effect for a second but nothing happens

[tired root]

You don't see HP ticks in short duration after taking HP mead or quick burst of stamina when taking stamina mead?

[gleaming sun]

you can get a fishing rod from Haldor, if that's what you mean. You can also get bait from him.

[gleaming sun]

nope

[tired root]

Hmm. Do you use any mods?

[gleaming sun]

not a single one...

[polar nacelle]

Guys any idea how we can cook fish inside the game

[tired root]

To process the fish you've catched you need preparation table to make then into raw fish which can be cooked on any cooking station.

Preparation table requires iron, leather scraps and fine wood.

[gleaming sun]

whats the best iron weapon for when just got into swamp? (one-handed, i love parrying)

[true steeple]

The iron mace is the best weapon for the swamps boss and one of the enemies in the next biome

[gleaming sun]

okay

[broken vortex]

Anyone have a quick sec for question about installing valheim mods on my server/client

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion know about stuff like that 😄

[broken vortex]

Thanks, I did - waiting for reply lol

[wild viper]

whats the command for givin a player items?

[frosty frost]

spawn

[wild viper]

ty

it doesnt work ;-;

[faint osprey]

did you type "devcommands" first?

[frosty frost]

You need to type devcommands first for using any cheat commands 🙂

[wild viper]

ah ok ty

[frosty frost]

You type it in the console you open by F5 🙂

[wild viper]

alr

[faint osprey]

it should say true when you type it then you can use the spawn command

when someone reacts with "" what does it mean 😭

[frosty frost]

Basically agreeing, "this is right" or "This is what i think too", stuff like that 🙂

[faint osprey]

ahh okay thanks

[wild viper]

how do i unlock all building pieces

[frosty frost]

Type debugmode and press B 🙂

[wild viper]

ook tyty

[quasi vault]

By playing the game and unlocking the building materials from all biomes

[gleaming sun]

can my boars die from hunger or can i starve them forever

[true steeple]

Feeding them is only for breeding and increasing their health regeneration

[gleaming sun]

YES! I CAN MAKE THEM STARVE AND SUFFER!

[tired root]

Still they always love you.

[gleaming sun]

aww... well im still gonna starve them

[pearl crystal]

hey guys, i have the odinshipsplus mod, and i want to make a cargo schip. But i have no idea how to get clothship, and im not getting the recepies for it

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion and #mods-issues might be able to help 🙂

[queen beacon]

whats the best way to go about supporting tall mega builds made of stone

[true steeple]

Iron is the best support

[queen beacon]

should i be using cage or iron poles? for a tall stone building

[true steeple]

I think they both have the same maximum height so go with whatever you prefer

[silk fjord]

Hey, so I don't remember if I asked this, but are there any dishes that use bear meat? Because me and my buddies are at the swamp now and I don't see any new recipes

[quasi vault]

Yes, have you grown any turnips? nvm read boar

[true steeple]

Bear meat can only be eaten directly, but it's almost as good as minced meat sauce without using any neck tails

[silk fjord]

Hm, good to know

[quasi vault]

Do you have the spice rack though?

[silk fjord]

Yeye, I know all the stuff before the update

we got to the mistlands before we invited another friend, so yeah we started a new save

[quasi vault]

For that stage I highly recommend taking the time to get some fish and make some sailors bounty feast

[silk fjord]

Ok, so two things:

1: I have no idea how to fish, I have been trying since last save and I just... don't get it
2: I have tried the feasts, and I don't understand how they are that great? Like, from what it looks like, they generally don't give that much unless I am missing something

[vivid sundial]

and I highy recommend to stay the heck away from all fish at all times. time waste. unless the fish is serpent

[quasi vault]

the sailors feast is a lot better, to fish you need to actually spot fishes

[silk fjord]

Nono, that isn't the problem

I meant reeling them in

I don't get it, every time it happens, I waste all my stamina even when I have mistlands food
at like
early game fish

[quasi vault]

I usually fish for like 30 minutes and it gives me feasts to eat constantly from the swamp until the end of the plains

[steep tusk]

Sailor's Bounty is an excellent reason to fish.
FishNBread as well.

Fish Wraps.

[silk fjord]

the only one that I can consistently get is the meadows one

[quasi vault]

you need to keep the line at like 2 meters if you want a chance to reel in anything

and have a lot of stamina

[silk fjord]

Ah

But again, I don't really understand feasts

Most of them just kind of seem not as great as just eating any other food

[quasi vault]

the one we're referring to gives 45 health 45 stamina and last 50 min and can be eaten 10 times

[tired root]

They are option to use for certain activities: building, exploring, anything you can imagine. They last long and can save 1-3 inventory slots while exploring as you don't need to carry as many food items with you.

[silk fjord]

Yeah and Muckshake gives 50 Stamina and I can just eat a sausage to get 50 health and can make at least like 5 shakes and 10 sausages if I'm in the swamp for 20 minutes

Hm
You know, I never thought about the inventory space

[tired root]

They're quite handy for general exploring. Both mountain and sea feasts grant 45 HP and 45 stamina, which means total 90 for both stats, and you have one slot to use for any other food item you prefer.

And those are quite enough (at least for me) when you go venture plains after defeating Moder.

[quasi vault]

They are also much cheaper to make than the normal food considering there's 10 portions of them

[steep tusk]

Their purpose is less stats for twice the duration.
Amazing for general use while letting normal food be superior for specifically combat.
It's a good, balanced addition.

[silk fjord]

Hm, that's fair

also probably an addition that can be ignored if that isn't your thing

[tired root]

For sure, they're only one food option.

[brittle bane]

which iron shield is better? buckler or tower shield? and which one is optimal for bonemass or other activities?

[true steeple]

Tower shields are much weaker than other options. The buckler parries strongest but I'd recommend the banded shield because it looks so much better while still parrying well enough.

[steep tusk]

Everything is better than Tower Shields.
Buckler vs. Banded is a choice.

[silk fjord]

Ânywho, me and my friends have tried fishing again and we both think it's ass, so we'll see if it's something we do often

[brittle bane]

okay thanks guys yall are epic

[steep tusk]

Valheim fishing is leagues better than Stardew fishing.

[quasi vault]

It should use like 10% of the stamina it actually use

[steep tusk]

It does when you level it 😏

[true steeple]

Fishing rod needs more adrenaline per hit

[chrome stratus]

Should i get iron mace or iron axe

[silk fjord]

Ok, so apparently the problem was that I was running backwards

[tired root]

Mace is pretty good in swamps, 1h axe is bit waste IMO.
-# Battleaxe on the other hand.

[chrome stratus]

ok ty

[tired root]

Of course you can craft anything you like, just stated that mace is pretty good in swamps.

[candid cloak]

How do I give the battle buddy a wooden weapon?

[frosty frost]

You dont

[candid cloak]

ohokay. i thought you could give him different weapons

[wind bison]

trying to join my friends dedicated server.. bunch of my friends was able to connect to it via ip/port but I cant even see that it is up (110% checked ip and port is correct and written correctly), any common adivce to give me to get it working? im playing via xbox gamepass (on pc)

i can also add that I am able to see a number of servers on the community tab, so valheim is connected out to the www

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[worn wave]

Anyway someone can join my server and help me and my buddy beat the queen with no cheat weapons? lmk and ill dm you the info to get into the server. We have some food and resources. we just cannot beat her.

[lime wasp]

any tips on fishing? do the hilders clothes help?

[tired root]

Clothes don't affect to fishing stamina cost. Some tips:

• High stamina is recommended, stamina meads can help too
• When fish is on hook, reeling when they struggle cost significally more stamina
• Not reeling doesn't cost stamina but doesn't regenerate it either and fish can't pull back to gain more distance
• You can move a bit back to get it easier to shore where you can press E to catch it
  Then there is this ||Karve trick|| I can give more details if interested.

[lime wasp]

sure gimme some details

[tired root]

Okay so the trick is here:
||- Get on Karve and sail where you find fish

• Throw the bait on water with rod
• Sit on rear where you control the boat to get the rod closer to water level
• Reel until the line is 2m long
• When fish tries to catch the hook start reeling.||
  That way you have ||very short distance to reel|| and you usually have enough stamina even for bigger fish.

[lime wasp]

||oh yeah i tried that but on longboat, is it easier with karvi?||

[tired root]

Yes, bit easier.

[lime wasp]

ty

are the plains supposed to be hot or like tundra? whenever i build above 2 stories it appears like snow cakes the top of my buildings and it doesnt make sense for lox to be so furry if it were hot

[tired root]

With enough altitude building pieces can get that "snowy" look and it can happen in every biome.

According to one lorestone, it's fairly hot area.

[worn barn]

My brain thinks of "savannah" not "plains"

And yeah, the lox shag is a bit puzzling for the environment.

[wheat scarab]

is there a blizzard in games that makes it rain down snow hard on mountains?

[deep jetty]

how do i change from vulkan to dx11

[viral cave]

Yep, takes the place of rain for the mountain biome

[wraith hill]

Alright, Im sure people are tired of hearing this, but here I go. Is something wrong with Bear Trophy droprates? I've got about two stacks of bear fur now and not one trophy.

[viral cave]

Valheim library page in Steam → settings → properties → Play Valheim
(the image is currently set to play Valheim using Vulkan)

[tired root]

Bear trophies have 10% chance to drop so RNG affecting a lot for some people, I'd say it's similar situation how some people looking for Cultist trophies through many frost caves with no luck.

[sand tapir]

are these files my dedicated world saves? which one do i download to save a backup

[true steeple]

The db and fwl files are the world save

You need both of them

[surreal pagoda]

What determines if a creature will attack walls or not? Do they need to be able to spot a player or player base object that they can't reach before they do?

Trying to figure out how to make outposts in Black Forest and not have locals constantly bashing or throwing rocks at my outer walls 😄

[frosty frost]

I do believe they have to first spot a player before they try to get to them through objects that are not attacked on sight

[true steeple]

If a creature hasn’t seen another creature to target they won’t attack walls, but will still attack workbenches and other prioritised objects

[surreal pagoda]

Right, so when I make a mining outpost with stake walls and have GrayDwarves constantly attack the stake walls, it would be because they saw me over the walls? We had one on a server the other day that was kind of in a trench so they could definitely get an angle from above and see down into it

(I realize you can't definitively say based on that description 🙂 But seems likely)

[frosty frost]

Possibly 🙂

[lethal swift]

just think of it like how lion fur is (big and fluffy sometimes) and it makes more sense

[worn barn]

lol - I actually was thinking that 😉

[deep jetty]

tysm

[surreal pagoda]

Which part of, say, a standing wood torch is it that a creature can "see" and aggro? For purposes of knowing if they're sufficiently covered up

[frosty frost]

All of it i would think

[lethal swift]

is the drakkar actually faster than a longship?

i cant tell it feels either the same speed or slightly slower

oh huhs

i knew something was up; back to longship for fishing boats for me i guess

[surreal pagoda]

I saw people covering the "stem" (idk what parts of a torch are called) with a log or beam and showing that mobs no longer aggroed it - leaving the "wig" exposed. That's what I was wondering - if anyone knew if there was a specific point that needed to be covered

[ruby badge]

Oh... that's new for me as well. I thought the bigger the better but seems like I'll use the Drakkar only for firelands from now on 😄

[lethal swift]

i mean it’s still better if you need the storage lol, and it has WAY more aura

[ruby badge]

yeah, that's right 😄 But it's way harder to maneuver and I end up hitting some smaller rocks because I can't see proper 😄

[vivid sundial]

damn... more slots makes sense logically, sad that its useless practically as you get the portal upgrade in this biome. no-portal players rejoice! 😄

[young quest]

Did they increase the spawn rate for Ghosts in the last patch? I was just wondering why I haven't got the recipe to build the training dummy yet, and realized it needs a drop from a Ghost. They seem very very rare.

[frosty frost]

Same as it has always been i believe 🙂

[thorn spire]

yeah, they're still hard to find. harder still to get a trophy. I've only got one.

[young quest]

I feel like I've encountered an average of one every other play-through.

[thorn spire]

I usually see a ghost in every second or third burial chamber.

[vestal quiver]

Best chance is a base raid by ghost. That's how I got it

[young quest]

Interesting. I've never had that raid.

[frosty frost]

It came with Bog Witch update 🙂

[steady viper]

I actually just got it, and it's pretty awesome, really sets the mood for Halloween 😏

[frail cave]

Whats the time frame to build Halloween special items

I think ima get my party to kill fader late October to celebrate Halloween

As we have yet to do so but are basically ready

[gleaming sun]

is there a way to get rid of the stuff appearing after mining w a pickaxe? maybe a mod?

[quasi vault]

you mean the texture of steep terrain? If so yeah by leveling it with a hoe

[vagrant pulsar]

How do you get flex?

[fervent birch]

If you mean Flax you have to find it at Fuling encampments.

[vagrant pulsar]

Me and my buddy just killed the modder (mountain boss) and we are still getting stuff to make better armor to live to fight off goblins but I need flex to make the better armor

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh ok, I would a farm thing in there but there was only bristle or something like that idk I am not on the game atm

[quasi vault]

barley is more common than flax, it can take a few camps

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok how far is magic from the plains?

Like a long way still or close

[thorn spire]

next biome.

[quasi vault]

You are most of the way there

[vagrant pulsar]

Damn so I need to grind iron again and flax so I can get the armor and then go

I got max out wolf armor and a drake helmet and a silver sword that’s not maxed yet but that’s about it

[quasi vault]

just a tip, the root harnesk is much better than padded armor both for plains and mistlands

[devout pivot]

do crops grow faster in some biomes? e.g. faster in meadows compared to mountains

[vagrant pulsar]

Just the chest?

[quasi vault]

Yeah, for pierce resistance

[thorn spire]

Same timeframe in every biome they'll grow in. You can't grow crops in Mountain biome.

[devout pivot]

any other biomes i cant grow crops? like ashlands?

[thorn spire]

I think Deep North. Pretty sure you can grow crops in ashlands.

[true steeple]

You can grow crops in ashlands if they're near a shield generator

[narrow turtle]

Is ||marble infinite resource cause seekers|| or smt else , first time enter the mistlands so idk

[steep tusk]

All resources are infinite.

[thorn spire]

There's lots. You'll be fine.

[narrow turtle]

Ok

[lethal swift]

WRONG a couple of the boss summon items aren’t (withered bones, bell fragments, and effectively the fuling totems) grausten isn’t (even tho you will never run out) along with a miscellaneous scattering of other stuff (all 3 ashlands gemstones, most of the treasure rocks you sell for coins, both colors of jute, etc etc etc)

[steep tusk]

If the world you are on runs out of something, go to a different world and bring the resources back.
All resources are infinite.
💛

[lethal swift]

this is also before you consider that while all the metals are technically renewable through fishing kinda fuck that tho lol

[lethal swift]

ok yes but also that feels incredibly pedantic to point out; generally when i see these conversations had (notably in the other two games i’ve played where worlds are detached from character, starbound and terraria) the “is X resource infinite/renewable” is on a per world basis (in terraria, hellstone isn’t infinite because you cannot get an infinite amount out of a single world, even tho yes you could just go to a different one)

sorry for paragraph i don’t want to come off a rude i just have opinions on renewable resources in video games (all resources should be renewable somewhat easily)

[steep tusk]

The only thing that came off rude was the all caps "WRONG"
Other than that no worries!

[lethal swift]

oh i meant it in a comedic way, similar to how a loud incorrect buzzer noise might be used

[steep tusk]

Fair, but I am not wrong. So it didn't land as intended 😭

We good though 💛

[lethal swift]

does player carryweight affect carts at all?

[frosty frost]

Nope, only whats actually in the cart

And boats are not affected at all by their storage

[lethal swift]

the gemini forcefed answer says so, but appears to have hallucinated it all

ya i knew about boats

[frosty frost]

Ugh... AI proves to be terrible at giving correct answers again...

[lethal swift]

hallucination machine hallucinates an answer fork found in silverware factory

lowk cart should be easier to pull based on player carryweight tho but thats for a mod to fix lol

[frosty frost]

Would be an interesting mechanic for sure, but then you are opening the possibility of players themselves being progressively affected by their carry weight even without the cart 🙂

[lethal swift]

true

[steep tusk]

Carts I have found are good up to about 700kg. Then they start slowing down.

[thorn spire]

I've found I can still pull mine (albeit slowly) even uphill or up stairs with as much as 2k in it. You're right though, under 700 you don't even notice it.

[steep tusk]

When they start slowing was my point 😄

[thorn spire]

yep

[indigo sentinel]

Question: is the old find-silver-via-sledgehammer trick still a thing? I know it’s probably not a good use of time but I just find it a shame that you don’t get the cool anti-undead weapons until you’ve finished the primary undead zone

[thorn spire]

yes, but only with the stagbreaker will you get the obvious 'too hard' notification.

[white slate]

ok didnt know u can tame animals, do i need to get 2x 2 star boar to breed 2 boars?

[frosty frost]

You only need one 2star 🙂

[drowsy crane]

I mean, swamp has only 2 enemies that spirit are effective against, one is paper thin skeletons, and the other is the occasional spawning wraith. Draugr aren't even weak to Silver.

[frosty frost]

Baby animals inherit the stars of the parrent who gave birth to them, so you have 50/50 chance of getting 2star with 2star and 0 star boar

[white slate]

any quick tips for taming boars, do i just tame them in the whereever i find them or bait them when they are agressive to me or can i use harpoon? 😄

[frosty frost]

I like to get them running after me and lead them to the pen i want them in, then i start taming 🙂

[drowsy crane]

Have a taming pen built 2 walls high near your base, lead them there while angry, then harpoon them with a decent amount of stamina to bring them into your base. This will be crucial should you have tames that attack enemies eventually.

[unreal dirge]

I've some questions about fishing tetras. Can lakes appear in caves but without tetras at all? Is spawn on those lakes random? Would I came later, could there will be tetras? Or the chance to have them in a cave lake is taken only at the first generation moment (so, if there's none now, there will never be)?

[frosty frost]

The tetras should respawn in the lakes i believe, and i didnt yet come across an empty one as far as i can remember

[indigo sentinel]

I mean--they're not weak to spirit in the sense that they take full damage, not 150% damage, but that does effectively equate to weakness to spirit weapons since the default mob is immune to it entirely, no?

you hit them and they go hissssss and burn all greenlike

[unreal dirge]

Either I'm really unlucky or something messed with my world. 🤔 😩 One more question please. All lakes for fishing I've found so far in caves always were by the entrance; it's just coincidence or the cave generation algorithm make it this way?

[frosty frost]

The lake location can be anywhere in the cave afaik

[unreal dirge]

OK, thanks for the answer

[indigo sentinel]

Question: Is there a generally agreed list of what tools are worth spending materials to upgrade? thinking like iron pickaxe

[frosty frost]

Pretty much depends on person what they want to upgrade, some play with level 1 gear the whole biome and some always go for lvl4 🙂

[devout pivot]

is this enough prep for moder 2 player? we have unupgraded full silver gear

[white slate]

is finding 2star boar totally random?

[frosty frost]

Would be better to upgrade the gear, but you can totaly do it as you are now with bit of effort 🙂

[white slate]

20 boars later only 0 star ones 😮

[devout pivot]

ok, thanks

[frosty frost]

You have to be more than 800m from center of the world for them to spawn in the wild, tho they can spawn at one time spawn points closer than that

[unreal dirge]

Star boars only appear once you are at certain distance from the center of the world, you need to go a bit far away from the beginning to find them

[white slate]

how far is 800m like in map? i have no idea

im at the edge of the starting map so pretty close in whole world

[tired root]

10500 meters from center to edge.

[frosty frost]

10 500m radius 😉

[unreal dirge]

I recall it way smaller 😅

[frosty frost]

It is huge 😄 lots of exploring to do

[unreal dirge]

yeahn, and I like to have a contiguous explored zone, go imagine

[white slate]

so i guess safest is to create boar farm in one of the islands i visited earlier

far away from middle

[unreal dirge]

yes

better breed them where you find them

if you wanna move them to your main base, then keep some on that breeder in case you fail on the trip to home

it's tricky to sail back with boars because if your ship hits a rock, they can receive damage and die; if your boat geats near enemies, they will enrage and jump to water... it's a mess

I hauled 12 1 star boars from about 3km away and only 1 arrived 😩

[quasi vault]

I once saw someone bring a wild 2 star boar from about 2 kilometers from the middle, which was mostly black forest, crossing 2 rivers, all the way to the starter base in the middle. Those things will chase you to the end of the map

[unreal dirge]

yeah... what you probably didn't say was that person screaming in his nightmares that same night after. 😱 Those insane feats take a toll in one's soul, so better try to avoid them. But I 100% agree, boar's aggro is second to none, man, those beasts are grumpy as hell 😂

[quasi vault]

Told the guy it was crazy to even attempt. Never imagined he'd make it but the madman actually did it

[white slate]

everyonce in a while boars when they aggro me they start sprinting away will they just come back later if i dont move where i was

[quasi vault]

It's their normal pattern

They bite you once, go for a little lap and come to bite you again

[frosty frost]

Let them swing at you once in a while and they will not run away completely 🙂

[white slate]

ah okay

i just got 2 0 star boars as pet for my main base haha

[indigo sentinel]

Oh wild, I was luckier than I thought. My home base (within sight of spawn) has a 2star breeding population. Must have been from a rune stone.

[frosty frost]

Either rune stone or a village 🙂 yep

[compact heath]

I'd bring obsidian arrows too, and a melee weapon and shield if you're brave, unless you want to 100% only bows, also you using upgraded huntsmen or draugr bow?

[worn barn]

I just killed Moder solo; lvl4 drauger fang broke after about 120 arrows, had to melee him down the rest of the way - I'd been switching back n forth anyway.

I used, 3 stamina meads and 2 health meads I think it was total. Re-upped one of my foods when it got to half, onion soup I think that was, serpent stew and eyescream were my other 2.

[unreal dirge]

Poison damage doesn't stack, fire damage does. So, if you want bows style, the best output is to shoot 1 poison arrow and around 3 fire ones and cycle that. If your bow is under 40 and/or you have to move a lot to avoid the attacks, probably then you couldn't do more than 1 poison 2 fire. In that case, fire will not stack so much and maybe will be better cycle 1 poison arrow with other regular arrows like obsidian ones. It's a waste to constantly shoot poison arrows because the base damage is lower and you aren't going to do more poison damage

[true steeple]

Obsidian arrows are better than fire for Moder

[worn barn]

Needle even better if you can get em

[drowsy crane]

Damn what a revelation, the next biome's weaponry is better, who'd of thought it. 😅

[viral cave]

Depending on the seed, it could be easy to sneak into the next biome and punch a few of them to death.

[compact heath]

Yeah but obsidian is what you'd normally use, reasonably cheap to make

[vestal hatch]

In lieu of the new update. does anyone know the range from the player's pov in which the map is generated and if it's more than the map's discovery range?

[compact heath]

I don't know exact time, have you looked on wiki? it is further than map discovery range though

[vagrant pulsar]

What are dragon tear for?

[steep tusk]

The building they unlock when you pick them up.

[vagrant pulsar]

So just the artisan table ? Nothing else ?

[vestal hatch]

AI tells me the world generates within 440m radius, couldn't tell me the map fog radius

[steep tusk]

Artisan table enables you to build multiple other things.

[vagrant pulsar]

So most stuff in mistlands and plains do pierce damage ?

[vagrant pulsar]

Yeah but they don’t use dragon tear

[steep tusk]

No.

[steep tusk]

I never said they did?

[worn barn]

If you're wondering about the extra it's maybe so you can build mulitple artisan tables at various locations in order to build all the additional upgrades.

[vagrant pulsar]

My bad I was looking what todo with dragon tear
I was told root harnesk was good for plans and mistlands instead oh wolf hide armor and plated armor

[steep tusk]

1. Good is a point of view.
2. Play how you want without caring what other people tell you is good/bad.
3. It does diminish pierce damage, yes. Which makes it useful against majority specifically in Mistlands, not the "and Plains" half.

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok, I been having a problem with stuff unless I get really good gear for the area

For plains what damage type is best

Vile armor is looks, sounds cool

[steep tusk]

Best is subjective in most cases.

Yagluth has a "best weapon" against him, specifically.
For the rest of the Plains just use the weapon you enjoy using.

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, you're just talking about the spirit damage itself, most elemental effects will linger in the exact same way. I'm just explaining why it isn't a shame that you get silver after swamps ultimately.

[steep tusk]

Poison needs some love as an effect tbh.

[vagrant pulsar]

Silver sword been fun but I want the mace

[steep tusk]

Use the mace. Especially the Plains one -- Porcupine is amazing.

But you will go back to silver sword for Yagluth because it is uncontested the best weapon against him.

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

Who is yagluth

[steep tusk]

Plains boss.

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh

[steep tusk]

Porcupine is an awesome all-around weapon though because it does both blunt and pierce damage.

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

[compact heath]

I have seen AI being extremely wrong on Valheim info, I wouldn't even ask it about anything Valheim related. Can even give you examples, it literally made up weapons that do not exist in the game at some stage when I was testing it.

[steep tusk]

Who is this Al person and why do people seem to trust them above all other humans?

😏

[compact heath]

Silver sword imho one of the best looking weapons in the game, not sure if people share this opinion but I think so 🙂 And you can even still do a few things with it in the 7th biome! And for the 5th boss it is by far the best thing you could ever use against him!

[vagrant pulsar]

What damage is good against lux?

[drowsy crane]

Fire damage, but fire weapons are kinda lacking at that progression level, you might consider building some campfires to lead them into while fighting though!

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

[compact heath]

They are also neutral to pierce and poison so a Draugr Fang bow, with needle arrows and fire arrows combined etc or a spear too is really good to use against them

With high bow skill can kill them with sneak bonus often in 7 shots with needle arrow

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

[wheat scarab]

ngl is it laggy to play NA players when im in Asia or idk

[jade olive]

Are Viles just a night time creature or they a bit rare?

[strong cape]

night only

[unkempt bolt]

Ive never actually crafted it, even just for decoration purposes. i always dodged it since things that are weak to blunt are often resistant to pierce, and vice versa.
Does it stand out in any other particular way?

[steep tusk]

It's green?

[unkempt bolt]

Its green. Got it.

[steep tusk]

That is pretty much all it has.

[unkempt bolt]

That root harnesk is a coin flip in the plains. Your enemies there will fling pierce damage your way, which is good for you, but also fire, which will ruin your day.

You know what, Im just gonna use it anyway, with the serpent scale shield, because I feel like using things i've never tried before

[split musk]

The fire weakness of the root harnesk can be countered pretty easily with the barley wine. I think it's one of the best item in the game.

[terse cedar]

What's this?

[drowsy crane]

It looks like a Tar pit tried to happen there 🤔

Perhaps if you dig down you'll strike oil(tar)

[terse cedar]

it's a perfectly straight line that stretches out a long ways

and makes a perfect cross

[drowsy crane]

Interesting, is this an older world?

[terse cedar]

not that old, maybe a month?

[drowsy crane]

I can't say I've ever seen that before, might be a terrain generation issue?

[terse cedar]

thats what I was wondering

[drowsy crane]

Could be worth reporting if it happens again.

[terse cedar]

yea it's kind of an eyesore for this potential base location

[drowsy crane]

If you don't mind posting your seed here, maybe other well informed users could offer insight.

[terse cedar]

Seed: YVA7HAhQIb
Pos: (-2656,36,1951)
Zone: (-42,30)

[manic gyro]

That's a zone border, they are often visible to me as well, especially in the plains. I think your graphics settings have an influence on how visible they are

[hardy tree]

So dunno if this is the right channel to ask but I was thinking about grabbing the game and is the game active and is it meh or great for co op and building etc

[terse cedar]

it's goated

[terse cedar]

it's so bad

[drowsy crane]

You could use the zone coordinate to check if this is the case, and just step across to compare.

[terse cedar]

Yep, that's what it is. I submitted a bug report, dunno if that will accomplish anything tho

[compact heath]

Its a terrain line that is a known issue, the devs know about it, but is currently not on the highest priority to be fixed, I'm sure if will be done before we hit 1.0, just gotta live with them now every now and then, I think Plains and Mountains are areas where they can really be super noticeable.

[drowsy crane]

Good call, it never hurts to voice something like that 👍

[compact heath]

yeah, but I have seen it mentioned and talked about more than 20 times on this discord, it also seems to not be super easy to quickly fix, so just spreading the knowledge that the devs know about it might help

and might help others that see the info know what its all about sorta thing you know

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, I had no idea what that was

[terse cedar]

that's what I was afraid of

[terse cedar]

rip our oil field

[sterile hedge]

it's one of the all time best games for coop and building there is

[static steppe]

I'm fairly sure you can use the cultivator to put the grass back over those weird lines, if you want to make it look better.

[floral token]

can there be more than one fortress per ashlands island?

[tired root]

The total max of fortresses per map is ||20||, and they are scattered around more in ||middle part|| of Ashlands.

[gleaming sun]

hey is there a command to stop the rain

[tired root]

It's env clear IIRC.

[gleaming sun]

ok thanks

[steep tusk]

Is there a command to make it permanently thunderstorms? 😏😁

[frosty frost]

Yep, env Thunder iirc😄

[steep tusk]

Maximum serpent spawns 😁

[spare vault]

Valheim is the game for co op and building 👌

[orchid sorrel]

Hi, I have been trying to tame askvin for over an hour now, using different tips and tricks I found online, but it seems like I still am not making any progress. Is there anyone capable of helping in any way

[orchid sorrel]

I am playing vanilla, mostly with friends but have been trying to tackle this solo, i build a pit, put in grausten floor to keep it flat, gave plenty of vineberries, and am safely locked in a structure close to my pit. For a while I was seeing green +0,5 regularly which I thought was an indicator that they were eating but it seems to have stopped

[orchid sorrel]

I have also put a grausten floor on top of the pit so there wouldnt be any damage from the fire rain

id be happy to share my world if anyone wants to have a look to see if I made any crutial mistakes. I have tamed all other tames without ever struggling like this

[tired root]

When you go close to it, does it show how much % it has tamed?

[ruby badge]

Usually you're doing fine. I feed them vineberries and those fiddlehead. And I make sure to have more than one stack (or a divided stack), sometimes only one stack seems to be buggy.

Most important thing is that they do not have a red ! next to their names and I would recommend using a tamer mead. But since you had them regenerate HP (and because of that there should be some hearts floating up?) they should be in the right mood to be tamed

[orchid sorrel]

it seems like 1 did tame, it just didnt show in my event log, the other one died sadly

[ruby badge]

ah, ok. Than the 1st one killed the 2nd one if they recognized each other as enemies

[orchid sorrel]

i guess so, will try and get this one out or seperate it from the main pit and try again

thanks for looking into it

[ruby badge]

no worries 😉

[tired root]

Just to clarify, same species don't attack each other regardless if they're tamed or not.

[orchid sorrel]

i think they were mostly trying to destroy the walls and floor in the taming pit but ended up hitting eachother if that makes sense

they were safe from any outside elements as far as I know

[ruby badge]

Oh, really? Hm... I thought they are all trying to fight an kill me and each other 😄

[tired root]

They definitely can hurt still each other, yeah. But they don't purposefully try to attack each other.

[tired root]

Yeah, it's same for wolves/boars/lox too.

Tamed one doesn't attack wild one and vise versa.

[ruby badge]

nice to know 🙂 thanks a lot!

[ruby oar]

the reason that particular border is visible is because ever since the ashlands update (when will this be fixed oh my god) a lot of chunks have inexplicably started showing strips of dirt at their borders.
strangely, this seems to be a physical change rather than a visual bug, as you can use the cultivator to place grass over that dirt.
annoyingly, this affects not only new chunks and worlds but also old ones, no idea if any affected areas will be fixed once this is fixed or not, the fact that it was retroactively applied to existing chunks makes me think it might not be permanent, but you never know, so i've been holding off on entering any of my important worlds since before ashlands.

[surreal pagoda]

Will creatures attack roofs if they can't see what's below them? Had a stupid idea of digging a path through the black forest down to bedrock, like 6-8m wide and just covering the top with roofs 😄 Would creatures up top attack or just walk around not knowing what to do?

[ruby oar]

roofing is not on the list of things they attack without a reason (already being aggrod and being unable to find a path to attack their nearest live target for 15 seconds)

so if enemies see you at any point, they might start attacking eventually, but if all they do is hear you down there, you should be good?

(of course gotta make sure the trench itself is spawnproofed so nothing spawns in there)

[surreal pagoda]

Ofc one could just build a snaking a-frame tunnel above ground

[woven sparrow]

is this high enough to avoid the serpent breaking out in case of waves?

[white slate]

any tips where to look for the trader?

the one with fishing stuff

[woven sparrow]

just explore some islands honestly.
he only spawns in black forests, so just roughly run through any you find.
if you come near him you'll see a bag icon, the range is roughly twice your map reveal range i think?

[white slate]

thx

[wet sand]

so, i'm experiencing this glitch where my boat will only go in reverse, does anyone know what could be causing this?

[vagrant pulsar]

How much frost resistance do you need to not freeze from mountains?

Like can I wear a wolf cape and not have to worry about it?

[true steeple]

Any level of resistance is ok

I don't think a player can ever have very/slightly resistant to frost anyway

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok, just asking bc about to get better armor then wolf armor and I still want to go to the mountains

I want to make a stone castle in the mountains later once’s I get magic from mistlands but I am in the plains

How do you hunt vile I was in the plains at night but couldn’t find a single one after a while of looking

[true steeple]

You were probably just getting unlucky, they're very rare.

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh damn I was trying to kill them for the armor but Ig I am unlucky I looked for 2 in game nights too but when I get back in tonight ima look again

[surreal pagoda]

How much stuff do you mark on the map? I've been marking pretty much everything 😄 It gets messy, I think maybe I take it a bit too far

[steep tusk]

Are you marking like... trees?

[surreal pagoda]

No 😄 But like mushrooms, berry bushes, thistles, dungeons, spawners, ores etc etc

[ruby oar]

i only mark dungeons, outposts, cool stuff and places that serve a similar gameplay purpose as dungeons (f.e. fuling camps)

[steep tusk]

I don't mark berries unless it is a cluster of 6 or more.

Thistles I don't mark because they glow in the dark and as such are easy to find 😁

[surreal pagoda]

Fair. I've been marking all of them but putting an exclamation mark at the end if it's a big cluster

[steep tusk]

Oh I have a single thing I type for when marking and all other things are just place the symbol and walk.

[surreal pagoda]

Also... "CU!" means copper above ground and I would remove the "!" if I mined the above ground part but left the rest in the ground 😄

[steep tusk]

Campfire = Foragable.

• Raspberries/Blueberries/Cloudberries
• Type "Shroom" for marking Red Mushrooms

Giant T = Mineable

• Copper/Crypts/Silver
• Tar Pits
• Jotunn Bones

Dot = Dungeon

• Burial Mounds
• Ice Caves
• Infested Mines

House = Dwelling

• Drauger Village
• Troll Cave
• Drake Nest
• Fuling Village

You get the point. I don't have to type because which biome the symbol is in tells you what it is marking.

[frosty frost]

I would at the wery least type M,R and B for mushrooms, raspberries and blueberries

[steep tusk]

M for shroom. The other 2 don't need it because they are biome-specific.

[drowsy crane]

I switched all my icon labels to emojis and it looks much cleaner, theres emojis for pretty much everything.

[surreal pagoda]

Curious to see what that looks like 😄 Post in #screenshots ?

[drowsy crane]

Ah I am still laying in bed, I will get up soon and do it 😂

[true steeple]

They'll look like this

[surreal pagoda]

That is pretty neat I guess! Though I imagine finding them to paste would be a bit more annoying than quickly hitting "M" or "RB"

[drowsy crane]

It's pretty quick, though I use two monitors so I can just grab them in a couple seconds without even minimizing.

[vagrant pulsar]

I only mark dungeons outpost camps silver ore location and portal locations

[steep tusk]

Oh, I use the runestone icon to mark where I left my boat 😄

[fervent birch]

Who's got the 411 one fish respawns? Do I need to clear out 100% of an area? Do they come back after a week regardless? I'm getting mixed Google info. 😭

[steep tusk]

I don't think I've ever come close to completely out-fishing the ocean.

[fervent birch]

I don't know how you got "the whole ocean" from "an area" but thanks for you reply.

[steep tusk]

Is this area completely enclosed?

[fervent birch]

No, any old shore line.

[steep tusk]

Which would be connected to....? 😏

[fervent birch]

So you don't have an answer...

[steep tusk]

Every time I have fished on a shoreline, more fish from the ocean just swim in to replenish.

RE: I have never out-fished the ocean.

[fervent birch]

Boy you like to avoid the point. I'll wait for another reply thank you.

[drowsy crane]

My enclosed lake at my base has new fish in it every day.

[fervent birch]

I cleared the fish from my starting area shore line and they haven't respawned in many in game weeks.

[drowsy crane]

They may not have spawned in on that shoreline, and just migrated.

[fervent birch]

Ah, see this is info I could use. I didn't know they migrated like that.

[steep tusk]

Who's got the 411 one fish respawns?
Never seen them respawn because new ones just swim in from the ocean.
Do I need to clear out 100% of an area?
Never even come close to clearing a shoreline because new ones just swim in from the ocean.
Do they come back after a week regardless?
They come back in minutes regardless because new ones just swim in from the ocean.

Tell me again how any of this avoids the point when my reply directly addresses all of your points.

[fervent birch]

You're in a bad mood, friend. Take a 5 minute break.

[drowsy crane]

Well all fish move about constantly, it stands to reason that just as they landed on that shore, they land virtually anywhere else. I would look for what seem like fresh schools just spawning, those are more reliable areas.

[steep tusk]

Ah yes, the condescension of declaring to me how I am feeling.
Love to see it.

[lethal swift]

according to wiki all the fish have a 1m respawn cooldown lol

[fervent birch]

You're just being combative/pendantic for no reason.

[steep tusk]

Keep going. I have trouble with my own thoughts and it is better when people tell them to me.

[fervent birch]

And do they spawn out away from the shore and move in?

[native parcel]

has there been any updates to when fulings/goblins spawn at night in other biomes?

we are on day 156 on our server but are to Bonemass and we are getting the green dudes at night for some reason :/

[steep tusk]

Once you kill Yagluth, Fuling night spawns are unlocks in all biomes.

If it's a "we" situation, someone else has the tag for them and brought it over to your world.

[drowsy crane]

That shouldn't be happening yet that's really strange.

[lethal swift]

both a) they spawn at the shoreline and b) what the other guy said, if you somehow manage to fish all those out more will show up from the ocean (since there are like a billion spawnpoints in the place where its all water)

[native parcel]

yeah thats what im thinking -.-

ill find out who done did it lol

[steep tusk]

BAN THEM TO HECK! 😏

[fervent birch]

Nice, thanks for answering.

[steep tusk]

I have a name 😭

[lethal swift]

i mean my answer was basically the same as the other guy (more will just swim in from the ocean) so idk why im getting thanks

[lethal swift]

sorry 😭

[fervent birch]

"I don't think I've ever come close to completely out-fishing the ocean" is not an answer to my question.

[lethal swift]

it is if you can recognize the fact that by fishing on a shoreline you are in fact, fishing the ocean.

[fervent birch]

I didn't recognize that fact... hence the question. Have a great day.

[drowsy crane]

I think you have to go into the game solo and use the command:

listkeys - Lists all the global keys.

You should see the keys that are triggered on your world, then you should be able to use:

removekey [name] - Resets the specified key.

I’m pretty sure the key you are looking for is defeated_goblinking, but you will be able to see all the keys there and can reset which ones you want. Hope this helps!

[native parcel]

ill give this a try ty!

[indigo sentinel]

I want to see the rumored glories of high level bow skill. I have been planning out a Bonemass baby jail, with the firing platform on ancient tree, tricking him into a raised earth jail, etc.

But we just got a literal archery target. Is it going to be worth the hour or two of my time to set up the bonemass pen, or should I just go make a regular archery range?

[smoky acorn]

I will warn @native parcel that despite how resetkeys is documented, it always deletes all the server's keys, if I recall. So take notes of which boss and quest keys you have in your initial listkeys in case you need to add some back.

EDIT: Omni updated their statement to suggest using removekey [name] instead and I second this suggestion. Avoid reset for safety.

[frosty frost]

Depends, the archery target will take 3 times as long as shooting a mob. 🙂

[lethal swift]

bonemass jail is kinda high key overrated, just force bow on everything and you get it relatively quick

[drowsy crane]

That may have been fixed I was able to reset the elder key in an abandoned playthrough, but the eikthyr key is still triggered.

[lethal swift]

last playthrough i did i just didnt use anything else after i got the finewood bow and i hit like 65~ skill before bonemass without any dedicated farming

[smoky acorn]

Maybe you used removekey [name] instead? I think that one still allows for that degree of precision.

[indigo sentinel]

Eeehh...I like bow, but I like using other stuff too. Really, thinking about it, what I should actually do is turn down/off skill loss on death. Last night I died 4 times falling from my scaffolding after I let my food lapse during building

[drowsy crane]

Ah yes I did, I didn't meant to put resetkeys in the initial message that's my fault

[frosty frost]

That is also an option 🙂 you can either lower the combat difficulty death penalty modifier to reduce the skill drain up to 1% but that will also make the enemies weaker and you stronger. The other option of changing the skill drain amount is using commands, that way you can set the drain to any % you want and even turn it off 🙂

[lethal swift]

yknow completely fair

[lethal swift]

combat setting and dealth penalty are seperate sliders

[frosty frost]

Ah? I thought it is under combat settings, my bad 😄

[lethal swift]

tbh if you wanna powerlevel bow and want a low-effort (read: not lox hunting) way i think you should go set up a greydwarf spawner build because then the arrows are free and you also get a bunch of other stuff out of it

[thorn spire]

That's definitely the way to do it.

I love my spawner farms.

[steep tusk]

Bonemass is definitely the way to do it we throwing out words like definitely.

[thorn spire]

yeah but bonemass doesn't give you the resources. With a GD farm, your arrows are paid for.

[steep tusk]

Wood very expensive. I forgor

[thorn spire]

lol

fair point, but with the farm you don't even need to leave to cut wood

[steep tusk]

With Bonemass you don't need to spend time aiming.

[frosty frost]

Well, if we are talking strictly about leveling the bow skill, which was the original point, then bonemass is better suited for it since you can just spam him with arrows. 🙂

[thorn spire]

I see your point. You get a better shot per second value from bonemass so you'll level faster.

[frosty frost]

You also dont have to wait for him to respawn like you do for greydwarfs 🙂

[thorn spire]

exactly. I was factoring that in to my shots per secod.

[frosty frost]

I was more expanding the first message, i just had a bit of a brain freeze xD

[indigo sentinel]

Unrelated question: I know Farewell to Arms changed things so parries don't take stamina. Did that also change the math on what shields can block what attacks? I remember it used to be that you needed an iron roundshield minimum to effectively hunt Abominations (via parry), but last night I was parrying them just fine with a level 3 bronze buckler. Am I remembering incorrectly or is this a shift?

[thorn spire]

I don't think they reworked the calculation or the block armor.

[frosty frost]

No, not really

[true steeple]

Bronze buckler has always been good for abominations

[steep tusk]

You are remembering incorrectly.

[gleaming sun]

Any way to get rid of this d*mn fog IN MY HOUSE?

[true steeple]

Soft particles in graphics settings should reduce it

[steep tusk]

Or you have to build higher 😬

[gleaming sun]

nope. spent 2 precious hours flattening the ground and i will never change that.

actually more like 1 and a half

[steep tusk]

That's the reason for the 😬

[gleaming sun]

actually just found a mod that deletes that fog

[patent cairn]

when I am a host and I have a lot of builds in the world (I am playing with a girl) then I have a slideshow instead of smooth animations, how to fix it?

[atomic bane]

Does anyone know why the command won't open on Xbox. I have held lb lt rb rt and the start button. I have updated and started a new world as well and nothing.

[subtle parrot]

Go into setting menu, it's an toggle option now

[atomic bane]

Really...

Much appreciated @subtle parrot

[subtle parrot]

Yeh still gotta put devcommands first after you enable it though

[surreal pagoda]

How persistent are creatures? I found a 2-star boar at a runestone fairly close to spawn. If I go away to prepare an enclosure and come back, will it still be there or can they despawn when out of range?

[true steeple]

Creatures that aren't spawned by a raid or spawned at night if they have special spawning conditions at night (such as bears and wolves) will never despawn

[gusty slate]

Anyway to make a duplicate save of a character on gamepass pc? I finally convinced my friend to join me again but on the condition he uses his old character and with gear to pick up where we left off (bronze). I wanna use my current character cause that's where i'm at basically but wanna keep it bound to my private world

Could I theoretically just copy the file if I can access it?

[lethal swift]

manage saves in the character select menu should give options

[gusty slate]

Most I could do it seems was either move to local or just delete

[lethal swift]

huh

yea you probably have to dig in your files and copy it or make backup then

what you’re asking is possible i just forget how you do it

[frosty frost]

Move to local and then back to cloud 🙂

That will make a copy in characters_local folder

[gusty slate]

Will that then "duplicate" the character. So for example on the character select screen, it'll pop up as its own option?

[frosty frost]

Dont think so, but it will be a copy of the char you can use as a back up should something happen to your current one.

[gusty slate]

Mmm. I'll try that then, but i'm gonna first try to see if I can go in files and copy it. Just because i'd like to hopefully avoid sharing the saves under the same folder technically. That way if I ever need to back up on my private world it won't mess with the progress on my friends world version of that character

[frosty frost]

this is what it will do, you will get a save that you can revert to at any time

[frosty frost]

Try it 🙂 another option would be to make another character and give it the same stats and gear using commands

[forest drift]

One of the players on my server accidently logged on with the wrong character who was leveled to Ashlands. This was intended to be a fresh world with new starting characters, but right from the start we are facing 1 and 2 star mobs. Is there a devcommand to reset the spawns to original?

[echo sparrow]

starred spawns having nothing to do with that

they're just a % chance

[forest drift]

Then why the hell are we getting 1 and 2 stars right off the bat?

[frosty frost]

Stars of mobs are not linked to progression

[steep tusk]

Starred % is controlled only by the difficulty slider unless you manually change the setkey for it.

[frosty frost]

What mobs?

[steep tusk]

Although I seriously hope in 1.0 they bring starred out of the difficulty and make it an individual slider.

[forest drift]

All of them.

[echo sparrow]

#valheim-help message this on the other hand may be a legit concern

[frosty frost]

Well you can adjust it even now, you just need commands 🙂 slider would be easier ofc

[steep tusk]

I did say that in my setkey comment 😉

Because it is possible when the game leaves early access they remove how easy it is to devcommand everything.

[frosty frost]

Huh, i somehow completely missed that message xD

[steep tusk]

So dedicated slider better 🙏

[steep tusk]

👴

[frosty frost]

-# Another one calling me old you an Smiffe are in on it together arent you?
-# ||jk ofcourse xD||

[steep tusk]

I'm older than most people on Discord.

😂😭

[forest drift]

Is it the defeated_gdking?

[tired root]

Don't worry, old age doesn't come alone. 👴

[forest drift]

We've only beat Eikthyr and Elder

[echo sparrow]

i believe that's after killing Elder the greydwarves spawning outside BF at night

[frosty frost]

Thats that you killed elder

[forest drift]

But before we even fought Eithyr we had 1 and 2 stars spawning in every biome.

[true steeple]

Maximum creature level is not tied to boss progression (or any other kind of progression)

[frosty frost]

Yeah but being called 81yo while in your twenties... xD

[steep tusk]

Youngling...

[forest drift]

Weird. We've never had this many starred spawns this early in a playthrough. And we've been playing since release.

[frosty frost]

Old man... 😄

[steep tusk]

Indeed.

[frosty frost]

Still the same level up rate since release afaik, 90% 0 stars, 9% 1 stars and 1% 2 stars

[steep tusk]

Loads Arbalest
GET OFF MY PLAINS!

[true steeple]

You're probably just getting very lucky 🎰

[tired root]

Either very lucky/unlucky depending which mobs appear with stars.

Deer, boars, ||necks|| appearing, then nice.

[true steeple]

Why are we spoilering necks

[forest drift]

Ok, I guess we'll just have to "Get Good" as a friend says.

[tired root]

Sorry Blob I tried to protect you.

[steep tusk]

Tameable Necks when 😭

[frosty frost]

You should at least not find many starred trolls near middle of the map 😄

[tired root]

Unless one time spawns.

[frosty frost]

Indeed 😄

[gusty slate]

Alright so I found my characters local save. The issue though, is trying to somehow split it into a whole new character

[indigo sentinel]

Is there a general rule of thumb on how high waves can get? I would like to build a boathouse/longhouse, but high enough that I don’t get waves clipping though the floor when it’s stormy.

[frosty frost]

Max height is 5 meters, so 3 wooden walls height will give you 1m clearence even in the worst thunderstorms 🙂

[steep tusk]

Who took the time in a storm to measure that?

[frosty frost]

Mister Corvertbibby apparently 🙂

But i believe it was pulled from gamefiles

[steep tusk]

What a name...

[steep tusk]

Isn't there a difference between wave height in the ocean and on the shore though?

[frosty frost]

Shouldnt be, and if then shore would most likely have smaller waves

[forest drift]

Oh, we've found 2 star trolls right out side of our village on the starting continent.

[frosty frost]

Ooof, outside or inside the cave i assume

[forest drift]

Outside.

OUr first bear was a 1-star.

[frosty frost]

Yeah, thats the one time spawner Joel mentioned, those disregard the distance rule for starred troll spawn

[forest drift]

We all died a couple of times to that beast.

[echo sparrow]

Odin is giving you his hardest battles

[steep tusk]

Out at see I have seen waves as tall as the Karve. If that came all the way to shore, water would be flung inland a good distance. So I am pretty sure it is forced to taper down when it gets closer to shore as to make sure it actually breaks and stops properly.

[frosty frost]

On the sea you have to take into account also the dips between the waves, since they can go well below the normal water level.

but all and all, inland there are not any waves really, and on the shore they will in all likelyhood not be over the 5m 🙂

[steep tusk]

Wait what? The ocean goes DOWN??

That's totally unrealistic. IRL there is a consistent sea level line that all water respects. 😏😉

[frosty frost]

Yes, you never noticed that beeches during thunderstorms can "extend" far into the water?
Freakin hell i sometimes cant tell when you are making a joke xD

Spent time wrinting that for nothing xDDD

[tired root]

Sarcasm is an art sometimes.

[steep tusk]

Gotta keep you on your toes. 😉

[frosty frost]

Careful i dont step on yours xD

[steep tusk]

And slow mode will catch you sometimes because I'm writing a two-parter and all the sarcasm emotes will be in yhe second half. 😭

[frosty frost]

I do believethis is what gets me in most cases 😄

[steep tusk]

Smiffemode strikes again.

One day he will free us.

[indigo sentinel]

Thanks all. One more for the road: I've got my little pigpen where I've gotten a population of 2 star boars going. I'm going to disperse them across multiple pens to increase production. Relatively new to livestock, I don't really have a good sense for how much leash I have for the "active" zone. What do yall use as a rule-of-thumb? Is it like, visual range?

[frosty frost]

Pretty much, if you can see it its usually in the loaded area, tho the highest render distance can go bit past that iirc 🙂

[echo sparrow]

make sure you always keep at least one pair inside a airtight building

and a building that has some distance between its walls and the exterior-most wall (or moat if you dug one) of your base--enemy attacks can clip through walLs

[indigo sentinel]

Thanks. To clarify--do mobs (piggies) have a different render distance than buildings? aka is just seeing the pen good

[frosty frost]

Not sure about that really, sorry

[indigo sentinel]

hrm. you know what i have just realized that I don't remember a single raid occuring in my singleplayer world. I originally started it for casual berry-picking in support of a multiplayer playthrough over a year ago. Is there a setting I can check to see if I set raids to off somehow?

[indigo sentinel]

no worries 🙂

[echo sparrow]

yes definitely, in the main menu world modifiers every time you load a world, there is exactly such a setting to disable/enable raids, and you should be able to see whether it's active, and change it at will for each play session (that is, you can logout, change it, logback in, as much as desired), from the main menu world loading screen

[gilded lily]

Does anyone know how much deeper the Drakkar sits in the water over the longboat?

[gusty slate]

Ended up just doing this afterall. When I opened up the character files it was just complete gibberish so I instead just enabled devcommands and spawned all my stuff in on a new guy, then raised my stats

[soft mesa]

Greetings, Vikings of Valheim! I need your help!

My friends and I want to create a server with mods to spice up our gameplay. I'm looking for advice from someone who has experience with modding and setting up a server. Specifically, I need help with:

Choosing a hosting provider for our server.

Selecting mods and confirming that our current list is compatible and works well together.

Suggesting other potential mods or offering any personal recommendations.

Please contact me via private message or recommend someone who might be able to help.
I just want to say that I don't want to take up too much of your time or take advantage of anyone; I just need a few pieces of advice, and that's all.

Thank you in advance for any help and guidance you can offer.

[frosty frost]

I would for sure ask folks in #mods-discussion about the mod things 😄 and people in #dedicated-server mught help with the server part

[soft mesa]

Ahh, yes your'r right i'm sorry for spam :/

[frosty frost]

No worries 😄

[terse cedar]

This works great, thanks! Before and after cultivator (let some spots alone so you can still see where the lines were)

[thorn spire]

that's very helpful to know you can erase those lines. I never tried.

[bleak marsh]

Hello yall, I keeo trying to open Valheim, but the game just never ends up starting, anybody encounter this before?

[steep tusk]

How long did you wait before defining it as "never ends"?

[bleak marsh]

It used to work no problem, I just haven't played it for a month or two, and now it won't boot, idk if it's a common issue with the new update or wtv.

[bleak marsh]

O.o what?

It just doesn't boot. I mean if it takes more than 30 seconds to a minute, might be lag, but it "never ends up booting"

It goes from loading, shows the lil valheim pop up saying "launching game" as normal, but the game doesn't launch, and then on the steam page it goes from "running" to stopped, and the prompt to start the game appears again. As if it was closed immediately after booting

[steep tusk]

Ah. Different issue than most.
After biome updates and such it takes a good while for your world to load the first time, and 2-3 minutes some people define as "never ending" 🙄
But you're not even getting into the game itself which is 😬
You have mods?

This is a very long yes/no answer 😬

[bleak marsh]

Nah I play vanilla and yeah I'm not getting into the game at all, tried retstarting the console, updating Valheim and other installs themselves.

[bleak marsh]

Good to know this server is as rude as ever

[steep tusk]

🤔

[bleak marsh]

Okay, so a simple re-installing of the game itself seems to have fixed it! Took a while because of my crap internet.

[steep tusk]

Glad to hear it is fixed!

[surreal pagoda]

Is there any good information around about what creatures can see through and not? I found the page on creature senses on the wiki which was interesting and got me thinking about how to build bases that creatures just wouldn't attack.

Fully enclosed should be fine I guess? But if you have any kind of window? Are roof crosses transparent? Will noise alone ever make them attack a non-"player base" piece etc?

I guess what I really want to figure out is how to live in hostile biomes (relatively) safe from constant harassment by "stealth" rather than earth walls/moats

[bleak marsh]

I have no idea, but I'm curious as well, that'd be something I'd like to do down the line.

[lethal swift]

what

[steep tusk]

Tiniest dot of Meadows it would have to be 😄

[frosty frost]

Huh, can you share the seed?

[lethal swift]

9PHXdkNtpe , just to the south

[steep tusk]

Also what in the mods is going on in the bottom left?

Because that could be why she is spawning where she isn't supposed to 😬

[frosty frost]

Nah, natural generation, tiny meadows 🙂

[steep tusk]

That was my first guess 😄

[frosty frost]

and plains apparently 😄

[steep tusk]

That's an awesome seed rng, lol

[lethal swift]

if you think a clientside only mod that literally doesnt affect anything other than the character could affect worldgen on a dedicated server i feel like you might need to schedule a dr's appt

[steep tusk]

Jokes on you, I have one on Friday! 😛

[true steeple]

Any mod can break anything in valheim, I’ve seen many weird examples here.

[steep tusk]

I will be sure to put down "Sophie mods their game" on my intake form about why I am visiting 😏

[lethal swift]

thats true mods can cause issues sometimes but clienside only mods fucking up worldgen?

it'd be a misunderstanding what mods even have the power to do in the game but yea something like that

[frosty frost]

Well the mods really can break ton of stuff thats not related to them in any way 🙂 there have been examples of that here quite a few times in the past. But irelevant here, natural world gen, lets move on 😄

[lethal swift]

i will say running around the minimap doesnt tell me that there isnt any meadows or plains here

[frosty frost]

Try to open map and run cursor through that area 🙂

[steep tusk]

.#arae

[lethal swift]

it does on the big map but when im just walking around the minimap doesnt

[frosty frost]

Yeah, if its this small its really hard (or maybe even impossible) to get it by just running around, also, the biome shown on minimap is based on camera position, not character position 🙂

[true steeple]

The biome label on the minimap is based on player position but only updates once per second

[smoky nexus]

Anyone have 2 extra dragon tears they would bestow on a returning player?

[frosty frost]

Hmm, do i remember it wrong? I swear there was a convo about this here somewhere...

[true steeple]

The active environment and music playing is based on camera position so maybe there’s some confusion with that

[frosty frost]

Aaaah, yes, that was it!

I thought it included biome names too

[low lagoon]

So me any my friend just beat the elder and I've been running around in troll hide armor because i like the stealth but i would like to know how long i can use it before i have to get better armor

[steep tusk]

Are you good at blocking/dodging?

[quasi vault]

It doesn't really make you stealthier

It just makes it a bit better when you sneak which most people pretty much never do

[frosty frost]

Since they said they like the stealth i think its safe to assume they know how to sneak 😄 in which case it will be quite helpful

[lethal swift]

if you're really stretching it you can make it work till mountains

then upgrade to fenris at that point

[low lagoon]

Ok thx

[low lagoon]

Kinda

[steep tusk]

If you block/dodge you can wear it always as armor has no effect on blocking.
If you take hits go with what Sophie said.

[low lagoon]

Ok

[low lagoon]

I use stealth a lot so i like the armor

[steep tusk]

You're going to love Fenris.

[low lagoon]

Is it also stealth?

[steep tusk]

It doesn't give you +stealth skill but it buffs your movespeed and LOOKS awesome.

[low lagoon]

Oooh sounds interesting

[steep tusk]

You also get an inventory slot back because you don't need a cape.

[quasi vault]

do you ever need a cape

[stoic trench]

Do you ever need armor? 🤔

[quasi vault]

armor often just look better without a cape and I do like having the cold debuff to warn you it turned night

But yeah it's mostly a fashion statement not wearing a cape

[stoic trench]

Probably like 95% of the time, I have a cape on just for the fashion

Wolf cape + Mistlands Eitr set looks stunning 🤌

I think I like the Eitr set much more than the Embla set in terms of fashion 🤔

[quasi vault]

Im not going to go that far as to take away eitr regen for fashion

[stoic trench]

Me neither, but I was a little sad the remove such a sweet looking set lol

[vagrant pulsar]

Whats vile armor head gear?

[woven sparrow]

will tamed wolves attack normal wolves?

[stoic trench]

Nope!

[woven sparrow]

aight that's one bother less, just got a 2 star wolf directly when i started searching for them and i was a little concerned about getting it home

i assume i'll just need to drag it with the harpoon?

[stoic trench]

Nope, once tamed, it can follow you. It’s a unique trait of the wolves

[woven sparrow]

that's actually so huge :D
makes this find even better, thanks for the info!

[vagrant pulsar]

Whats vile armor head gear?

[stoic trench]

Vile bone visage, requires a vile trophy

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

I got 7 vile cage but not getting a trophy plus having a hard time finding them

I got 7 vile cage but not getting a trophy plus having a hard time finding them

[stoic trench]

Yeah, I believe the trophy is a 10% drop chance, so it comes down to a bit of luck. I know it might not be the best feeling, but just keep at it and you’ll get it

Giving you some Rocky luck right now 🍀

[sullen condor]

Just wondering if anyone knows what mod can respawn/reset different dungeons

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[sullen condor]

thanks!

[white slate]

is the root harnesk good against fuling?

[tired root]

Against spear fulings yes, but be wary against torch fulings and shamans while wearing it, unless you have fire barley wine.

[white slate]

what are they weak to?

i need to farm some coins i dont know if there is better way than fuling, they are bit tought to me still

[tired root]

They have no weaknesses nor resistances.
-# Sidenote, only immune to spirit but that's kinda obvious due them not being undead.

[white slate]

i shouldn't be in plains but i have hilda right next to their camp so i can run to safety there if i need

[tired root]

Safer bet for coins would be burial chambers, or depending where you're at currently, other dungeons before Plains also contain good amounts of valuables.

[white slate]

that might be more efficient way haha

[tired root]

Hmm, risky going against them before mountain tier equipment. 👀

[white slate]

i found a big rock right next to their base, i dont know if bombs would be good to try to kill bunch of them with when they are grouped together under me

[tired root]

Bombs are safe bet when you get them grouped. 👍

[white slate]

one more question, amber ruby etc. are these only for selling? they have no crafting purposes?

[frosty frost]

Ruby Is used in few recipes, not many tho, and ember Is for selling only. 🙂

[tired root]

Only valuables needed for crafting/building recipes are ruby and jewelled silver necklace. 👍

[frosty frost]

-# Silver necklace

[tired root]

If you spare 3 rubies and have bear trophy and bronze you can craft quite good trinket that has low adrenaline cost. 👍

[tired root]

-# Good call, I always forget how it went.

[vagrant pulsar]

How does adrenaline work in the game bc I got wolf trinket but idk how it works

Also not sure if it works with my porcupine

[steady viper]

equip any trinket > fight to generate adrenaline > reach the threshold for the trinket and get its bonus

rinse and repeat

[compact heath]

parry and dodge and attack and things like that, trinket activates once you reach enough adrenaline, differs how much depending on tricket but it says on the box

[frosty frost]

And just to clarify, the threshold/enough adrenaline Is when you fill the full bar 🙂 the bar Is bigger or smaller depending on the trinket you currently have equiped

[zealous prism]

hey guys, game doesnt want to run, vulkan or not, there is this small windows showing there an error but it dissapear super quick, is there some kind of logs someone can check?

[white slate]

how do i craft mossy fishing bait?

i dont have recipe for it i even caught perch

[frosty frost]

You need abomination trophy 🙂

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

[white slate]

do you craft them in cauldron?

[frosty frost]

You need preparation table

[white slate]

oh i forgot it completely lol, thought it was just upgrade to cauldron

got it now, thanks 😄

[warm condor]

the spawn landmass has meadows, black forest, mountains, swamp, and plains 😭

i haven't even finished the black forest boss yet and im scared asf going through plains hahahahah

i can't find an end to this stupidly big landmass

[frosty frost]

This looks really cool 👀 what is the seed if you dont mind me asking?

[frosty frost]

-# Love the "xD" at the end XD

[warm condor]

hahhaha i swear its an RNG seed 😂

[frosty frost]

Oh i dont doubt it 😄

[warm condor]

maybe i should turn back... but yeah fun seed thanks coffee stains 😭

[frosty frost]

Now you will have pretty much straight way back to center it seems 😄
-# Also just a little note, this channel has picture rights for helping with problems, if you want to share what you do in game you can post pics in #screenshots 😄

[warm condor]

Oops, sorry for hoarding this channel with not help related things!

[frosty frost]

No worries 😄

[viral locust]

Anyone know why I can't craft Frostner? I have all the materials as well as a level 5 forge but it keeps saying "Missing Requirements"

[frosty frost]

Can you send a pic of the open forge with your inventory?

[frosty frost]

Hmm, put that stack of silver away to a new chest and try to use another one, there were few cases when stacks of metal were bugged for some reason 🤔

[viral locust]

That worked ❤️ Tysm!

[frosty frost]

Good 😄 now just get rid of that stack completely, obliterator or throw it in the ocean so it doesent cause trouble in the future

[viral locust]

RiP silver 😢 Thanks for the help!

[frosty frost]

You can use commands if you really want it back 🙂 and fortunately you dont need silver for many things

[steep tusk]

The game is preventing you from building a horrible weapon, take it as a sign 😏

[frosty frost]

It is not horrible weapon, why would you spread missinformation?

[steep tusk]

Because it is a horrible weapon.

Knockback is way too strong. It works against my ability to kill things.
Horrible.

[frosty frost]

It doesent fit your playstyle, you dont like it, still doesent mean its a horrible weapon.

[steep tusk]

HORRIBLE. 😛

[gleaming sun]

is there a commands to fix everything in my inventory?

[frosty frost]

No cost will allow you to repair everything like in workbench even in your inventory

[pale isle]

If I throw 30 eggs in a pen with heat will they all hatch or does the animal limit stop them from all hatching?

[frosty frost]

It stops the laying of eggs, not the hatching 🙂

[pale isle]

Nice, thanks

[drowsy crane]

They will hatch, but they may cause limitations of other tames breeding in the area if other tame pens are too close.

[frosty frost]

Each animal has Its own limit i believe tho 🤔

[drowsy crane]

I thought the tame limit was 30 as a general rule

I can't find any documentation on that, maybe I was misinformed.

[pale isle]

30 was an eggsaggeration. They wont last that long as im way too hungry. Thanks!

[drowsy crane]

Haha no worries, I think I took someone's information incorrectly anyways

[frosty frost]

Also were looking for it and can't find anything 🙂
-# Tho i am on phone and the Wiki on phone Is not that great to search through 😬

[drowsy crane]

Yeah I'm not sure where or when I heard that to be honest, I feel like it was a friend's assumption/conclusion after beginning to breed in one of our first games 😛

[jade rapids]

I think it is an assumption out of the built-in limitations of tames of same type, needing distance from other adults, to be able to re-produce, and the performance dip you might run into, with too many tames around in same cell.
To me, its highly likely that someone (at some point) gave an estimate of "recommended" numbers of tames.

[kind sand]

anyone know a good spot to farm morgens for the trophy, need it (Seed: 2sFLCGAXP8)

[jade rapids]

Roam the Ashlands, visit the caves, and look for them in the wild.

[kind sand]

that's a pain, but i guess the only way, ugh

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, I'm fairly certain that's what happened, 'hmm these boars aren't reproducing anymore, this must be the tame limit.' That sort of thing, rather than assuming it's a per species limit.

[jade rapids]

When this was discussed some time ago, Smiffe just stated that the built-in limitations was for a reason. Not what the limitations was, just a simple "because reasons"...

[low lagoon]

How does the you are being hunted event work? I know it can happen anywhere and it can happen anytime after defeating bonemass. But is it a thing for the rest of the game?

[true steeple]

It can only trigger in mountains and plains

[low lagoon]

Oh

[burnt basin]

Hello! Where would I be able to get some assistance regarding some merchandise that I purchased?

[low lagoon]

Thats good to know

[low lagoon]

But does it stop after a certain time?

[true steeple]

No but when you’ve progressed past plains you won’t be spending so much time in these biomes and you’ll be significantly stronger than the wolves.

[viral cave]

[low lagoon]

Ok thx

[frosty frost]

I think it would be better if you reach to the vendor you bought it from 🤔

[marble pagoda]

tame limit varies by animal species yes
the exact numbers are in the wiki as well as how far animals needa be from each other to stop counting

[narrow turtle]

#screenshots message are him using some HD modes or smt?
