I need help, I'm playing with friends, with mods, we're summoning Ectura and we can't kill it, it doesn't take damage at all, what could be the reason for this?

[frosty frost]

You mean Eikthyr? 🤔
Try to turn off any and all mods

[static raptor]

You mean Eikthyr? - yes Do you have any mods? - yes

[frosty frost]

Yeah, didnt read carefully first time 😄
Try to turn the mods off and try again 🙂

[static raptor]

I just don't understand what kind of mod it could be, so I'm trying to remove them one by one.😅

[frosty frost]

I would try turning all off first so you see if it was actually them 🙂

[static raptor]

Okay, I'll try

[static raptor]

Without mods, the damage goes

[frosty frost]

So now turn them on one by one and you will see which one it was 🙂
And i would start by the ones that were not updated the longest

[static raptor]

Okay, I'll try

[static raptor]

Because of this fashion🤔 Jotunn.dll

[frosty frost]

Ok then 😄 glad its sorted out

[static raptor]

well yes🤝 😁

[jaunty whale]

Hi, we rented a server and have been playing for two days. Just now, while I was playing, it kicked me out of the server for no apparent reason and said, "Connection terminated." Now I can't reconnect. Everyone else can connect to the server, but I can't. I get a connection failed error. I've restarted my internet connection and closed and reopened the game, but it doesn't fix the problem. What could be causing this?

[frosty frost]

Hmm, maybe someone banned you for "fun"? I am not familiar what issue causes this exact message so i am just guessing really. 🤔

[jaunty whale]

There's only one admin on the server, and he's my teammate. He's not the type to make those kinds of jokes.

[frosty frost]

Ok then, just to be sure tho, ask him to type banned into the console, it will show a list of players that have been banned. 🙂

[jaunty whale]

no

Even in the server list, the server does not appear to be active. I saw it before.

[frosty frost]

Hmm, are you using VPN by any chance?

[jaunty whale]

I use Google DNS and it hasn't been a problem all this time, but now it's throwing it for some reason

Let me change my DNS and try it out

BepInEx console gives this warning after connecting

[frosty frost]

Oh are you using mods?

[steep tusk]

-# Can't be. Everyone knows to mention that up-front when describing the problem.

[rancid sigil]

how long does it take to tame boars and can i leave the base or do i have to be near them for the full taming duration?

[frosty frost]

You have to be near them (have them loaded in) the whole 30 minutes it takes 🙂

[rancid sigil]

^thx

[frosty frost]

Tho if you already found the bog witch you can cut that time in half 😄

[rancid sigil]

i havent yet, i just started the run and got lucky with finding 2 boars close to my base 😅

[frosty frost]

Oki then~ 👍

[brisk python]

I'm having issues trying to get a Fuling Berserker Trophy. I'm currently in a server with no raids enabled and just learned that they don't respawn. Any advice?

[frosty frost]

With these circumstances, explore new plains.
Or another way would be going into different world to explore if you dont want to explore too much plains on that server.

[brisk python]

Thank you. I'll try a new world.

[plain ridge]

not sure if this a bug or not or just bad luck. But just killed my 100th bear and haven't gotten a trophy yet. It's supposedly a 10% drop chance

[brisk python]

I've had a similar issue, but I would just keep killing them. You might get it on your 101st.

[plain ridge]

nah now im at 104 lol

[steep tusk]

That is how true 10% works.
Many games (not this one) have switched to systems where "10% means guaranteed on the 10th kill" which is why it can seem off when games use real 10% rolls instead of escalating ones.

I will say, if you've killed over 100 and feel you've put the effort in, there is no shame in spawning one for yourself at this point.

(What I would do)

[plain ridge]

It's a server so I don't wanna mess with spawn commands, bad look

anybody got an extra in their world I coudl join and grab?

[steep tusk]

Log into your own non-server world and drop one then take it back.

[frosty frost]

If you just recently found Haldor then you might get one from him 😄

[plain ridge]

he has them?

[frosty frost]

Yep, he has a new carpet in his camp that you can destroy if you portal away and back to him 🙂 but its probably unintentional and only newly generated Haldor (after CtA) will have it

[steep tusk]

Portalling makes it destroyable?

[frosty frost]

Yeah, talked with Blobicycake about it and he thinks the game first generates indestructable special "Haldor" version basically and realoading switches it to normal rug you can dmg.

[steep tusk]

Fair.

[plain ridge]

wait so how exactly does it work, i just portal to him and it isnt breakable

nvm, ur a lifesaver

[frosty frost]

Yw, but now you can't sit on a bear head when you talk to Haldor 😄

[jaunty whale]

I am using ServerCharacter mode and it caused an error. I don't know why it gave an error for no reason.

[frosty frost]

Meh, mods being mods, they do weird stuff 😄
At least you found the issue now

[jaunty whale]

I can't log in with the character I use. I can log in when I open a zero character.

[jaunty whale]

😄

[frosty frost]

I can recommend looking through and asking in #mods-issues and #mods-discussion if anyone has experience with this issue 🙂

[jaunty whale]

I tried to enter it again and it entered 😄

[frosty frost]

Nice!

[white slate]

will abyssal knife work well for moder?

i got draugr fang too on me

[quasi vault]

Absolutely although it's just a bit harder to hit her with the knife than other weapons

[white slate]

i'll try to do this boss with abyssal knife and get new weapon in next biome

i wanted to try atgeir but silver don't have one 🙁

[frosty frost]

If you like knives why not silver dagger? 🙂

[white slate]

i like abyssal knife but i think this is my first and last knife, i wanna try other weapons too

i've only used bronze mace, iron mace and abyssal knife so far for melee

[molten ocean]

Anyone who has used Blob bombs in combat, are they worth it? I used to use the normal poison bombs a lot, but I'm not sure if these new ones are worth it considering the items used to make them

[frosty frost]

For Moder both the abyssal razor and iron mace will work good enough 🙂

[white slate]

accidentally skipped hunting bow so i used finewood bow for the longest time too, just got draugr fang now

[steep tusk]

Accidentally?

[frosty frost]

They work great as a distraction, for actually damaging stuff you would need a good number of them

[steep tusk]

I wish the normal ooze bombs slowed enemies.

[frosty frost]

Would be too op 🙂

[steep tusk]

Frost Arrows say hello 😛
And I mean take the damage component off and purely make it slow.
Let the bilebombs be the damage ones.

[frosty frost]

Ah, that would be interesting, or maybe it could be another type of bomb

[molten ocean]

I was thinking about using them in boss fights but from what you said they would work better on the plains.

[frosty frost]

Not sure about places that would be best for their use really, didnt play much with them yet 😄

[white slate]

never noticed i could craft it before

wish there were little red icons on new craftable items or something, or search bar

[steep tusk]

Oh, I always skip it purposefully because I just use the spear until the finewood.

[white slate]

is the hunting bow not upgrade to finewood one?

[frosty frost]

It is

[steep tusk]

Oh, Huntsman? My bad.

Is the ultimate stealth bow.
Maybe they add another quiet one in DN, but 🤷‍♂️

[vagrant pulsar]

What makes you see in the mistlands?

[ruby oar]

the wisplight, made with wisps attracted by the wisp fountain, made with yagluth's torn spirit

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh after that boss lovely

[steep tusk]

Yagluth is my favorite boss.

Like if you Google "Metal AF" it should just show Yagluth.

[tired root]

Death metal AF would be Fader then.

[steep tusk]

Agreed.

[rancid sigil]

what is the best way to keep greydwarves out of your base? i have a plaisade wall that even goes failry deep into the water but last time i was on an adventure i came home to both of my freshly tamed boars murdered by a shaman

[steep tusk]

Do you have the inside of your walled area spawnproofed?

[rancid sigil]

how does one do that?

didnt even know that was possible

[steep tusk]

Enemies cannot spawn inside the radius of a workbench.

[thorn spire]

raise the ground where your boars are to create a stepped safe space. Also, a double set of walls will protect them. have two fences with at least 4m space between them.

[rancid sigil]

ahhhh i didnt know that was a thing

[steep tusk]

Spawnproof your walled area and then see if stuff still gets in.
That's always step one.

If stuff still gets around the wall there are other steps but shouldn't be necessary.

[thorn spire]

You can also put campfires at the ends of your dock area to scare away greydwarves.

[rancid sigil]

ill try it next time i hop on my world tomorrwo. thx for the advice

[vagrant pulsar]

Which merchants are there?

[thorn spire]

at the moment, there are three. One in black forest, one in swamp and one in meadows (farther out into the world)

[vagrant pulsar]

I forgot the one in Black Forest name

[thorn spire]

Those are Haldor, Bog Witch and Hildir.

[vagrant pulsar]

Bald or is the one I forgot

[thorn spire]

Haldor. His symbol shows up as a sack.

[vagrant pulsar]

Damn I can’t find that mf

[thorn spire]

honestly just keep sailing around. He has to be at least 1500m out from centre.

[vagrant pulsar]

Is there a way to look at the seed and find him?

Still no haldor

[steep tusk]

Valheim seed viewer

[stoic trench]

There’s a seed viewer tool online

[stoic trench]

I’m guessing he’s here

[vagrant pulsar]

How you know?

[stoic trench]

Wow! check out that picture quality 😂

I’m just guessing lol

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh

[steep tusk]

Did you turn on the electromagnetosphere layer of the map?? 👀

[vagrant pulsar]

Nope not there but there was a Black Forest just no haldor

[thorn spire]

if you don't want to use the seed viewer, start sailing all around each island with BF.

[white slate]

is frostner good in plains?

[thorn spire]

I got tired of looking for Hildir earlier, just started sailing for Bonemass and ran straight into her.

[steep tusk]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[stoic trench]

Yep, it’s pretty powerful

[ruby oar]

so far, frostner is great or good in every biome after mountains

[steep tusk]

No, it is a horrible weapon.

[ruby oar]

rarely the best choice, but consistently good, reliable

[steep tusk]

See how my initial reply is the most accurate? 🙃

[white slate]

well ill get it then, i can always get more silver i guess

just so expensive to get it lvl 4 sheesh

[steep tusk]

If you have to pick 1 silver weapon to build - sword.

[drowsy crane]

For me it's the crystal battle axe

[ruby oar]

imo that's frostner

[steep tusk]

Further reinforcing how "good is a point of view" 😁

[stoic trench]

Different strokes for different folks, but I think Frostner is undeniably a good weapon- it’s DPS, elemental effect and coverage put it pretty high on the tier list 🤔

[steep tusk]

Damage per second?
You mean the horrible DPS given every time I whack something I cannot immediately hit it again as I punted it away so I have to spend DPS time walking until I can hit my target again?

[drowsy crane]

Here's your pat on the back for suggesting something is opinion based 🖐️

[ruby oar]

its usefulness is more evenly spread across all the biomes in which you may have it than any other weapon in the game i'd say.
it doesn't excel at many individual matchups, but it handles nearly everything after you get it pretty well, whereas other weapons tend to have at least one point where they kinda suck in comparison. (a notable exception for frostner here would be stone golems, but those are incidentally easily dealt with with frostner's predecessor, the iron mace)
but maybe i'm biased because half the mistlands enemies 50% resist all physical damage and frostner is the only good melee source of elemental damage you have at that point

[steep tusk]

The only weapon I put below Frostner is... sadly... Jotun Bane 😭

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, flexibility in a game like Valheim is rare at best, in that way a lot of players become attached to Frostner 😅

[stoic trench]

I’ll take it a step further and even claim that Frostner is a great weapon

[steep tusk]

How dare you. 😏

[full mesa]

Wha bout swords? 🤔

Swords are quite versetile apart from some enemies having resistance

I can't remember who said this but its probably from joel or scales, but certain weapons when attacking multiple enemies have their damage evenly distributed

[marble pagoda]

swords are in a really good place rn
mostly due to most things in Ashlands not resisting slash

[full mesa]

but swords just dont care at all and do like maximum-ish dmg to all enemies caught in its arc swing

[steep tusk]

Swords are above the balance curve atm due to being the sole one-handed weapon with no MtP.

[marble pagoda]

most weapons have multitarget penalty (MTP) where you deal at most 1.33x of your base dmg when hitting multiple things at once
swords don't have this penalty and do full damage on every target you hit
so do 2 hand sword and battleaxes iirc (but maybe not 2h secondary?)
and atgeir spin, and sledgehammer

[compact heath]

and the silver sword is the most beautiful thing in the game!

[marble pagoda]

sword secondaries are also the hardest-hitting attacks at 3x
and you have pretty strong animation cancel options if you're into that (but they fixed the emote triple this patch)

[steep tusk]

As of the latest update - all two-handers have no MtP other than atgeirs?
All one-handers do have MtP other than swords which bugged a long time ago and never got fixed 🙁

[full mesa]

From my experience maining the 2-h swords they dont get penalties as well and you can hit as many enemies as you want and still do max dmg

[full mesa]

Another reason why I like swords

[white slate]

whats MtP

[full mesa]

They're a thing of beauty, simple, reliable, and can still kick some a-

[full mesa]

Most things in general arent resistance to slash, with some exceptions like blobs, oozer, tar, lava blob, and stone golem

things that are resistance are generally anything that is blob like and stone like

[marble pagoda]

yeah, swords are generally the exemption
I believe the 2h sword secondary still has MTP though, if you hit 2 enemies it does less dmg

[full mesa]

I could try testing this out later on my main character to see how much dmg they do

[marble pagoda]

lox, morgen, and all seekers resist slash though

[full mesa]

Arent the seekers in general have resistance to all physical?

[marble pagoda]

yepp

i've done the math, if you take a straight average of all resistances and weaknesses in the game
blunt is about 10% better than slash, which is 10% better than pierce

[steep tusk]

Gjall are technically resistant to slash given how hard it is to slash them 😏

[mellow yarrow]

would the explore map command ruin the deep north for the update?

[steep tusk]

No. You have to physically have been within 300m of the area for it to generate.

[oak iris]

Blunt is indeed great, not only for lack of resistance but for the amount of weakness. It's a little slow tho, especially with knock-back. These days I typically specialize in something else but carry a club as back-up through the swamps, switching to a frostner back-up for the plains. Honestly, I think my favorite weapon before magic is the dagger.

[misty apex]

Does this game scale with how many players in server? cause I played with my brother just 2 person and got swarmed by 10 grelying on night

[steep tusk]

afaik number of spawns doesn't change, just the health/damage of the enemies.

[misty apex]

oh i see, thank you

[steep tusk]

Night time has more enemies than day time though.

[misty apex]

what a best weapon on early game black forest? is it knife?

[steep tusk]

Best is what you, personally, enjoy using.

[misty apex]

alwyas struggle fight with troll in black forest, 1 or 2 shot get hit will die

should i hit after that dodge/block?

[steep tusk]

As with all enemies -- learn the attack animations and just roll. You have complete damage immunity in the middle of the dodge animation.

[misty apex]

tower shield can block against troll hit?

[steep tusk]

Tower shields are objectively horrible and should not be used until the devs change them.

Also your blocking power is based on your max HP.
So keep in mind that food is the most important stat in the game.

[misty apex]

oh really? tower shield worst part in the game?

why, i win with this type shield against grelying brute is brutal swing

with round shield is always got me stagger

[steep tusk]

Frostner is worst part in game
They are just worst than the other shields because the other shields can parry. Which stuns your target and makes your following hits deal more damage.

[misty apex]

ok i see, thank you

i hope they will add too, crafting while item crafting inside chests too, do not have too in inventory

[steep tusk]

We hope for different things. 🤷‍♂️

[oak iris]

For early trolls, I like stealth secondary attack with a flint knife + kite with flame arrows. You can parry them with a bronze buckler and 1-shot them with an abyssal razor's stealth secondary. No matter what tactics you use, they are weak to piercing and head shots.

[lethal swift]

then being weak to pierce means flint arrows are more damage

anyways chat do we have any suggestions to farming volture eggs? they seem.... absurdly annoying to get in large amounts ocmpared to every other food thing in the ashlands (fiddlehead, berry, asksvin)

[frosty frost]

Running around shores usually gives quite a number of them 🤔

[lethal swift]

not in comparison to the amount of everything else i get 😭

i spend 2m fighting just outside the base i have and my inventory is full even with armour slots modded in

[fair lotus]

Keep an eye out for the nests along the coastline, they contain several eggs. But yeah it’s slower than most other ashlands resources.

[lethal swift]

i think i've gotten most of the nests nearby

[drowsy crane]

I would just advise Vulture hunting tbh, that mob is abundant and usually signals a nearby nest. I had 1/4th of my inventory full of vulture eggs when I outlined my ashlands coastline on foot.

[molten ocean]

Why so much hate towards frostner?

[steep tusk]

Because it stops me from killing my enemies quickly.
My weapon should not work against me.

Take the NFL punter level knockback off of it and we're in business. But as long as I have to hit-walk-hit instead of being able to do multiple hits in succession, hatred.

[molten ocean]

Fair enough

[steep tusk]

Like keep the punt on the secondary, yes. That way you can control when you want to fight and when you want to make space for yourself.

[drowsy crane]

I usually just get my enemy against a surface and swing away 😛

[frosty frost]

Btw all maces from frostner onward have 100 primary knockback and 200 secondary 😄

[full mesa]

knockback lol

[steep tusk]

Yes. But since it is the first, it gets the hate.

Wooden Club is so good 😭

[quasi vault]

Best weapon I can afford to kill bonemass with even on very hard

[weary forge]

Hello! I happen to be deaf, and deeply enjoy the game despite that fact, the thing is, im wondering if anyone knows a mod, or setting that would make my experience a bit easier, like one that adds subtitles like "footsteps" "growling" to prevent me from getting jumped by mobs hahaha, thanks!

[scenic shale]

just got back in the game and i remember i used to have a mod that would disable the teleporting animation if the portal was close does anyone know what im talking about and what mod does it?

[frosty frost]

No setting for that as far as i know 🤔
But try asking folks in #mods-discussion if they dont know about something 😄

[weary forge]

Alrighty, thank you 😁💖

[white slate]

is there a better way to get lots of blueberries than my current one which is to just run around black forests like a deer in headlights?

[stoic trench]

Do a solid exploration in a nice large Black Forest and mark any blueberry clusters you see (I just use the dot marker) and set up a route to periodically go through and pick your berries.

On my current playthrough, I have a route that nets me about 60 blueberries per walk

[drowsy crane]

Set up a portal chain that includes the largest berry clusters you locate. 👍 Enter the portal from your base, have it lead back out the other side into your base again.

[gleaming sun]

if i actually kill the t.w.i.g. do i get all the things back

just tried it, yes i do

[gilded lily]

When you start a new world, if you put a Foresaken Trophy on the Sacrificial Stone from an old World, will it change the spawns and events?
Or is it only when the boss is killed in that world?

[true steeple]

Unless you enable the world modifier that changes it, events will be based on which bosses have been killed in the world.

[loud rapids]

Usually deer in headlights is meant to emphasize how they tend to freeze, so this usage makes no sense

[plucky pollen]

The wiki says you can take Dvergr Lanterns from their outpost but how do you do that?

[frosty frost]

Only the ones that sit on ledges or tables can be taken, they have the (pick up) prompt 🙂

[plucky pollen]

ah, thanks

[steep tusk]

THIEF!

[wanton hawk]

Is there any hope that bears will be tamable in the future? Cause i saw one of them eat blueberries i just dropped

[frosty frost]

Not any plans for it as far as we know 🙂

[wanton hawk]

So they eat blueberries just because?

[frosty frost]

Pretty much, either left in as an easter egg or just a mistake.

[wanton hawk]

Oh im sure that mistake is them not hunting deers near them or smth. Same goes for wolves

[frosty frost]

Both deer and bears are forest faction, so bears will not attack them, that works as intended 🙂

[steep tusk]

Only change they need to make is that bear AI should priority target the Obliterator.

[wanton hawk]

Look, i liked the fact that when i started the game i halacosted myself and then died because i cut tree wrong. That what hooks you from the start, however im not enjoying the fact that deer and bear just stand next to each other

[hasty marten]

there is any like flat world for download?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[frosty frost]

No but if you want test stuff on flat land then location DevGround1 (or 2 for bigger area) is for you 🙂

[steep tusk]

Flatworlders... the minecraft people have arrived!!! 😏

[hasty marten]

its just i wanna try some plan mod, and the building is quite big xd

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[visual radish]

I think it's just that bears like blueberries and both bears and blueberries happen to be in the same biome, so it was a fitting behavior to add to them. As for them not attacking deer, that's just a limitation of how the faction system works, not a mistake of any kind. Trying to "correct" that within the current system would either require making an exception (something that should be avoided), or would result in other black forest enemies also attacking deer (if deer were moved into their own faction to make them a target for bears), which wouldn't be desirable either. Not really an easy or simple way to "fix" it without consequences elsewhere.

[worn barn]

Bear don't really hunt deer, I mean, they can, and do, but it's not a primary food source and they generally only pick on the young and wounded when they do go after them.

[steep tusk]

Fish taste better.

[wanton hawk]

I wish i had screenshot. How deer stnad just next to the bear and that same bear just its my strawberries because i needed a slot for copper

[worn barn]

And is much easier to catch lol

[plucky pollen]

Is there an effective way to navigate the mistlands or is it just walking until you stumble across something?

[visual radish]

Same with any other biome just with less visibility. Explore until you happen upon locations. Looking out for lights cutting through the mist and listening to sounds is the main thing that can help though.

[steep tusk]

Spend some time farming wisps and make a bunch of wisplights. You can place them without a workbench and they generally don't get targeted so it's an easy way to mark paths.

[trail sorrel]

for melee (sword/spear) in mistlands/ashlands what's the best food setup

2 health 1 stam or some hybrid w/ eitr for bubble?

hard mode ^ did playthrough switching to pure magic already and wanna try the melee stuff

[steep tusk]

Best is subjective, but I would recommend HHS.

Food sheet has a Configurations tab that shows exact numbers if you want quick comparison.

[true steeple]

If you’re using the bubble you don’t need any health. Otherwise use whatever ratio of health and stamina you’re comfortable with.

[tired notch]

HHS is pretty good, I like HSS for more stamina but I'm also goated so keep that in mind

[steep tusk]

I don't know anyone who has has amazing success with HSE, usually you just run SEE or EEF.

[trail sorrel]

w hhs i can maybe parry the basic enemies, hss i gotta do no-hit

gotta plug in the calc but that's usually how it goes lol

[tired notch]

Oh yeah, on hard mode I'd prolly do HHS

[steep tusk]

Is this on Hard or Normal?

[trail sorrel]

hard

[tired notch]

SSS with a polearm 🧠

[trail sorrel]

this guy

[steep tusk]

HSS Mistlands gives you 168 HP, with Carapace Buckler at 0 skill you can parry all non-starred enemies in the Mistlands.

[white slate]

will stakewall work for farming barley in plains?

[steep tusk]

Normally you farm with a scythe.

[white slate]

😄

idk if lox even eat this stuff

[steep tusk]

Lox eat cloudberries.

[thorn spire]

Are you talking tame or wild?

[steep tusk]

Both.

[thorn spire]

I meant @white slate

Tame lox won't eat crops. Stakewall won't stop a wild lox.

[tired root]

Lox eat also flax and barley, but cloudberries are easier and more plentiful choice.

[rocky sphinx]

I thought Lox only ate barley and cloudberries? Do they also eat flax?

[tired root]

According to wiki, yes.

[rocky sphinx]

Thats interesting.. been wasting my berries and barley up until now.. got so much flax and no use for it xdd

Chickens dont eat flax though right

[tired root]

They do.

[thorn spire]

I also didn't know lox or chickens ate flax. honestly I just used seeds for chickens.

or dandelions

[marble pagoda]

chickens do dandelion, any of the 3 seeds, barley*

[tired root]

Tree seeds also, like beech seeds.

[rocky sphinx]

This is a game changer

Tysm

[steep tusk]

Feed your chickens acorns. 😏

[tired root]

IIRC only seeds, not cones or acorns.

[steep tusk]

Nuuuuuu.

[rocky sphinx]

Yus. Luckily got like a stack of carrot seeds and 4 stacks of flax so that should be plenty of eggs

Omelettes for dayssss

[marble pagoda]

acorns are valuable
you can get infinite oaks if you're willing to plant acorns because oaks drop more than 1 acorn on avg

[rocky sphinx]

For wood I just add onto climate change by chopping down the black forest ngl I cant be bothered to plant trees

[marble pagoda]

oh yeah I normally don't either, oak farms are to feed a base of like 10 peeps

[steep tusk]

Altering the climate is the only way to make sure the Forsaken truly stay dead this time 😏

[vagrant pulsar]

How do you mind the root tree with energy

[visual radish]

Explore more. You'll find what you need sooner or later.

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok

I thought it was the black metal pick but ig not

To explore Ig I should kill the plains boss

My friend is not on to be here

Anything stronger then a iron pole?

[steep tusk]

Must. Answer. Like. An. Adult.

No - woodiron is the strongest building material.

[visual radish]

And just a hint, you don't mine them.

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh, my bad lol I didn’t think about it I just wanted to know bc I want to build a stone castle and want to have the best pole

[vagrant pulsar]

The iron pole?

Wait ROOT

Black metal axe didn’t work nvm

Damn black marble looks cool

[steep tusk]

You need an extractor.

[vagrant pulsar]

Idk how to get that but I need to explore a mistland that’s bigger

[steep tusk]

Search dverger outposts.

[vagrant pulsar]

In mistland or swamp?

[clear jewel]

Are the Bear trophies bugged or something?

[steep tusk]

No.

[vagrant pulsar]

There rare like low

[clear jewel]

Ive killed so many of them man

Have you ever seen a dverger in the swamp?

[vagrant pulsar]

It’s not one of those zombie things?

[steep tusk]

Those are draugr.

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh my bad I am bad with names and they look close

[vagrant pulsar]

It took me like 20 bears before I got a head

[clear jewel]

-_-

I hate these bears

I could go kill the elder by now but I want to make the full bear set

The bears aren’t even tough anymore they just refuse to drop a single trophy

[vagrant pulsar]

I could drop you one but idk if you want that

[clear jewel]

No I want to get it legit

[vagrant pulsar]

I bet you’ll get it on your next bear

[clear jewel]

I know how to dev console one in but I don’t wanna cheat

[vagrant pulsar]

May the bear be with you

[clear jewel]

There’s more then 1 bear with me rn

[vagrant pulsar]

I I found cute little dvergr rogue

There house is under ground

Found a dvergr extractor

Even that doesn’t get used on a root😭

Does copper scrap anything I need to get

[steep tusk]

Just another form of copper.
And the extractor is an ingredient in the thing you build to place on roots.

[vagrant pulsar]

I didn’t get anything when I got it tho must be missing something for the blueprint

[steep tusk]

Ygg Wood is the other thing you need to pick up.

[vagrant pulsar]

Sap extractor?

[crude cove]

is there a way to increase fov?

[full mesa]

mouse scroll

[crude cove]

lol... i mean the baseline fov. i want the fov to be a bit wider overall

[full mesa]

Ah no

nothing you can do

[crude cove]

ok thanks. i saw there is a console command... doesn't seem to work though

[frosty frost]

Which command?

[compact heath]

I thought flametal thingies are a tiny bit stronger for stability

[steep tusk]

Tied for stability afaik. But flametal can be built in lava.

[austere kettle]

Hi just joined and looking for help with my game or to help someone else I have played valheim for a while no one I know likes the game but myself I'm just an honest gamer looking for a bit of help 😅

[pure mango]

Hey welcome

Is there anything specific we can help with?

[austere kettle]

@pure mango yes I'm stuck at the bronze stage just trying to explore out of my island but still to risky I just need to get to iron so I can build the buildings I designed

[tired root]

Have you defeated the 2nd boss? He drops something that helps you tremendously with gaining access to iron in the next biome.

[austere kettle]

No not yet I killed the deer boss which I'm guessing that's the first but not encountered another boss

[tired root]

Have you located the 2nd boss altar yet?

[austere kettle]

No I didn't know I needed the 2nd boss to progress through the game is it a fixed place or is it at a random location not sure if the map is different for everyone

[tired root]

Every boss gives you something that helps in the next biome, like how you got materials from Eikthyr to craft your first pickaxe(s).
Each map has several altar locations for each boss, when you find the vegvisir (the stone with red runes in it) it points you to the nearest location of that boss.

[austere kettle]

Wow I feel dumb thanks alot I'm on the game now and I see the next boss I sailed the opposite side last time in search of it😅 again thanks if your needing any help yourself with the progression on your world let me know would love to return the faver been stuck for a year

[pure mango]

The game basically IS defeating a line of bosses one after another, everything you do is to prepare for those fights

Though building can be a fully aesthetic, open ended thing too

But you mainly build your base to give you the tools you need for those fights, thats what I like so much about this game, it gives you a reason to build your base out rather than it just being for its own sake

Before I started playing I didnt know about the boss fights, I knew about the different biomes but I assumed they were just a different setting and different materials, I didnt realise you did them in a predetermined order.

(or at least youre supposed to)

It would be cool if you could easily do them in any order and the game sort of scaled to you, but it would be such a radical departure it wouldnt be Valheim anymore. Also the idea of dynamic scaling in games is pretty counter-intuitive, if youre character grows in strength, its kind of a mockery of that to make the rest of the world scale up like youre on a treadmill? Developers are doing some really interesting stuff with 'flat' progression now like Guild Wars 2 and Breath of the Wild to an extent.

An idea I had - what if any of the biomes could appear anywhere in the world, but the scaling happened the further you moved away from the centre? So a Mountain near the centre of the world would be easier than a Meadows on the outside. Again though, its a thought experiment, but it wouldnt be Heim anymore, apart from maybe a special modded mode.

[pale isle]

Is there a mod that lets you stow the crossbow with a bolt loaded?

[tired root]

I'm old timer, don't worry repaying the favor!

[autumn swan]

Why does my dedicated valheim server have no map?

[stoic trench]

Is it disabled in the setting maybe?

[meager lotus]

does vile despawn if its day?

[steady viper]

all creatures spawned during nighttime tend to run away from the player and despawn once they're far enough from you

[ruby oar]

depends on whether or not they were spawned specifically for nighttime.
if a creature was spawned by a spawn rule that's active 24/7, then it's permanent regardless of when it spawned, even if that was at night. (f.e. deer, boars, necks, trolls, stone golems, drakes, many more)
that said, i don't think the spawn zone page has been updated for call to arms yet so i've no idea how vile spawning works 😅

[rancid sigil]

anybody know how to get my "nocost" working again? its always been working but now it always tells me i dont have the required workbench? i dont even know how or why this is happening.

[frosty frost]

Viles are night-spawn only afaik, so they should always despawn at dawn 🙂

[frosty frost]

I usually enable debug mode and then press B 🙂

[ruby oar]

-# oh i just realized i misread the initial message as "respawn", so i was a lil confused

[static fiber]

Thats how It should work

[rancid sigil]

tried that aswell but it also isnt working

[ruby oar]

what does your console log look like?

[frosty frost]

Did you do F5 -> devcommands -> debugmode -> B ?

[ruby oar]

note that it's a toggle, so B, B turns it on and then off again
or pressing B and then entering nocost manually would also turn it on and then off again

(debugmode B and the nocost command do the exact same thing, the B is just a keybind for nocost)

[rancid sigil]

no i as per usual would go F5 -> devcommands -> nocost but that didnt work so i put in nocost again to turn it off ( it was on but didnt work ) and then i just typed in debugmode and pressed b. didnt work either so i tried to use both kinda but that didnt work either

[ruby oar]

huh, it was turned on but didn't work?
are you on a server?

[rancid sigil]

nope in my own world and i didnt start it as a server

[frosty frost]

Does it say "true" next to the "devcommands" in the console log?

[rancid sigil]

yes

[frosty frost]

Hmmmm...

Can you send a pic how the console log looks like?

[rancid sigil]

ill try and restart and if that doesnt work yes (restarting is the only thing i havent tried yet )

[static fiber]

"Did you try to turn it of and then turn it back on it always works"

[rancid sigil]

ok it works, no idea why but i guess it fixed itself

[frosty frost]

Glad it is fixed 😄

[rancid sigil]

same i forgot to take down my portal and place it on a bigger swamp area 😅

[stoic vault]

I’m building a terrain wall- meaning shifting up the dirt with stones to make a wall around my base. The only problem is, how do I get across besides a ladder or jumping over it any idea on how to make a door/walkway making sure monsters don’t get through?

[drowsy crane]

My advice, turn raids off in the world settings if you don't want to deal with them. Then you won't need the ugly terrain wall that only prevents the first handful of biome's enemies.

[manic gyro]

? The terrain wall works throughout the game (unless you build your base in the second to last biome)

[frosty frost]

But it also doesent look very good 🙁

[manic gyro]

Agreed, and it might make more sense to turn off raids, but it works not just against the first few raids

[frosty frost]

Nah, normal walls are good enough for raids 😄 but i usually spawnproof

[manic gyro]

If you leave an opening no wider than 1m enemies can't pathfind through (except maybe bats/deathsquitos) but you can still walk through

[pure mango]

Raids can be an incredibly useful material delivery service. Building defences is sort of the point of the game in part, even just some stakewalls and spikes can buy you enough time in the dreaded troll raid, and a lot of the raid mobs dont even do structural damage.

Ultimately you are building a fort. I literally googled for photos of forts for inspiration.

For some reason all the Valheim youtubers say to do the earthwall thing and I just think they're sucking the fun out of it for people. But its people game to play how they please.

[ebon marsh]

Moats look so much better anyway and you get stone making them

Especially when there’s water involved

[stoic vault]

I was thinking of building a wall then mine to thin it out and then place stone blocks to make like a tower wallish look……and wanted to see if I could put a door way or hole where enemy would come but not much wall bases out there

[fierce rover]

Does soemone know if the Item drawers from the mod ItemDrawers are considered as a player base structure? I'm assuming that they are but it would be nice if they werent

[tired root]

Folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might know better.

[short ridge]

is lagfilling the furnaces a good or bad thing?
i assume its lag thats letting me overfill them, just worried i may be loose that extra

[drowsy crane]

I said first handful of biome's enemies, not the first few raids.

[thorn spire]

you don't lose the extra.

[smoky nexus]

I try to click as quickly as I can to over fill them 👀

[short ridge]

Didn’t think so

[wet totem]

what one new laction? deep north?

[thorn spire]

not deep north. a new arena/spawner location

[dusk hemlock]

anyone know the console name / spawner name of headress of the bear

[fading wolf]

Ok.... This is odd.... I had a map started before the September update. I had The Elder marked on said map quite a while now, while I did my own thing. Well, I just went to where the Elder's altar and such "should" be... just to find a freaking troll cave instead.... What the heck?! Has this happened to anyone else???

I guess my big question is... CAN I continue using this map, or do I have to start it all over again to have the game reroll where the Elder Altar will be?

[worn barn]

That happened to me as well, only it was a skelly tomb at my location; fortunately I already another one explored, but a 3rd one has shown up now (not that it matters) but I expect an actual Elder Altar to be there. If you've only got one marked on the map, keep looking, you should be able to find another one and be in the clear.

[tired root]

What happened is when the new patch added a new POI then the world generated it to your world, which in progress, switched locations of all other POIs like boss altars, dungeons etc. in unexplored areas. So if the Elder altar was located but never visited it's now somewhere else. You can go to the same vegvisir to get the new location.

[manic gyro]

It's still misleading, there is exactly one enemy in the (currently) last biome that can damage it. And it's not even a after boss nightspawn or part of a raid, so it will never appear outside of that biome

[tired root]

@worn barn FYI in case.

[worn barn]

use "bjorn" for your auto-fill options

[thorny ginkgo]

Guys, i got a question, how to get the Vegvisir of Queen? I mean RuneStone, ik it's can be found in infested mines(Yes?), but i can't found it, i even used the website of the map to see the runestones, but i don't see even one

[steep tusk]

It's just RNG. If you've been through enough mines without seeing one just use the same website to tell you where Queen is tbh.

[thorny ginkgo]

Like i alr did that, so as see now, will be better just to see the exact place of the queen

[steep tusk]

Yup. I mean you already put in the effort so it's not like you're just skipping straight to the map.

[thorny ginkgo]

And i got another question about it, it's normal that runestone of vegvisir queen to not spawn in the world? Or just i too unlucky for it?

[steep tusk]

It's there somewhere, guaranteed. Just unlucky.

Same thing with Yagluth's. Most people stumble across the actual boss altar before finding the stone.

[thorny ginkgo]

Yea, i got the same, just faster to use some command or website

[vivid sundial]

some games I find it on first or second mine, sometimes takes 10+

[lethal swift]

what’s generally the best way to utilize the beserkir mead? my gut instinct is that it works best with the twin axes (because of course) but idk what else it’s good with, bows already get a billion percent stamina reduction and all the expensive (stamina-wise) weapons also swing slow so idk

wait does it stack with ask armor to make attacking free because if so nvm it doesn’t matter lol

[marble pagoda]

yeah it stacks with ask armor, you won't recharge stam while attacking though

[lethal swift]

oh yea probably not, but it’s completely free!!

if only it buffed attackspeed too 🥀 but it’s still actually kinda crazy and i will be bullying my friends to pick up every mushroom they see

[steep tusk]

Spamming atgeir secondary attack.

[marble pagoda]

can also use ashen cape
twin axes definitely, but in general its not as good as it sounds because you rarely have the opportunity to just wail on a sandbaggy enemy for 20s

if you get access earlier, you could use it with any weapon while kiting yagluth for example (stand on his tailbone and keep him spinning) - that's pretty uninterrupted dps
or if you manage to immobilize the queen with primal weapons

atgeir spin is also a pretty good use for berserker pot yea

[lethal swift]

is atgeir secondary high dps? i know its absurd stagger and its giga easy to connect just like the hammers but

[marble pagoda]

its mostly easy and safe

[steep tusk]

It's good dps baseline but gets higher because you're staggering things for the increased damage.

[marble pagoda]

its great for group fights because your friends can do DPS combos while you keep the enemy staggered

[lethal swift]

true actually that sounds goated

😭 now i need to carry two utility weapons for my group

[steep tusk]

It's part of why Scales sees it as the best mead in the game.

[steep tusk]

Be your own person 💛

[marble pagoda]

it's an easy candidate for sure, but I think ratatosk is more influential in the long run

just devote an entire row of inventory to meads

[lethal swift]

true, i think infinite rat mead would change how i play more than infinite berserker

[lethal swift]

nah esp since it fits mostly (i’m already planning on running hammer/bow and dragging the vile armour all the way to ashlands, and atgeir gets buffed since it’s also pierce)

[steep tusk]

I support it as long as you're choosing to do it and not just acquiescing to what others wish you to do.

[lethal swift]

oh no i’m running it willingly but it’s 50% because my group sucks

[steep tusk]

😄

[surreal pagoda]

Do trees regenerate health? Like if a treed gets damaged by a rolling log but doesn't quite break and I come back a long time later - will it still be nearly broken?

[frosty frost]

They dont regen, no

[drowsy crane]

I said prevents, not damages. Flying raids begin after defeating Bonemass.

[manic gyro]

Which are prevented by the most primitive of roofs and for the rest terrain walls remain effective

[drowsy crane]

Okay well, they will still do damage, it just seems like you totally misread what I'd said.

[full cave]

Hello, I have a serious problem. After downloading the 39.6 KB mini-patch, my world was completely reset. My houses, portals, Power Stone trophies—NOTHING remains. Everything I've mined (including in new lands) and built is simply gone. Is there any way to roll back the world or the update? Or what should I do in this situation?

[tired root]

Vanilla or modded?

[full cave]

Only vanilla

But the markers on the map and the partially open world map remained

[tired root]

You can ask people in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 if you play on Steam.

[tired root]

But have you ever used any mods in your game, just in case asking?

[full cave]

no

im play only vanilla

[tired root]

Alright, my knowledge on those technicalities is limited but you can also ask in channel I mentioned above.

[full cave]

What is the likelihood that the game could regenerate the world on its own and reset all progress?

[manic gyro]

They won't because they won't even attack because they cannot see through your roof. I've had seekers land on my roof, but they've never attacked it.

I read your answer to imply that terrain walls somehow lose effectiveness after the first few biomes. If that is not what you meant, then yes, I have completely misread your response.

[tired root]

I'm not sure, I've not had total wipeout of world ever.
Do you store your files in cloud or local?

[drowsy crane]

They will attack tames, or attack walls when they target something behind them. They also won't fly out of your base when the raid ends, meaning even if you stay perfectly still and your tames are undetectable, you'll need to deal with them at some point. Losing effectiveness is exactly what happens against flying enemies, because even with every precaution taken(needing experience to prevent), you will still need to face them. This is why I suggested turning raids off.

[full cave]

Cloud

[manic gyro]

Hmm, that's not my experience, but that may depend on how you build. Maybe they won't lose aggro and leave if the roof is too low for example. But yes, at that point one should consider turning off raids

[tired root]

That could be Steam cloud sync error then.

[full cave]

I found a solution: when you select a world, you can go to the save settings and restore the last world save.

[tired root]

Yeah restoring backup save can also solve the issue. Is it good now?

[full cave]

Yes, everything is fine.

COMRADES! I'm at my wits' end, I'm asking for help... I'm setting up a server on a rented hosting service. I've been stuck with plugins all day in the region, I'm losing my nerve, I don't know how to install and configure them. Please help.

[thorn spire]

You're likely to get more help in #dedicated-server. Very knowledgable people there.

[fair shell]

I strongly recommend using bisect hosting. very easy to use and they provide step by steps for the installation of mods etc.

Hey everyone. I need a littlle advice on base building. I am strugglinh with putting up a roof. This is what I have so far but I have no idea how to get it to fully connect/close

[steep tusk]

If all you have is wood, you will never close that.

[frosty frost]

Try using core wood for pillars so it doesent break 🙂

[steep tusk]

You need more advanced materials from later biomes.

[fair shell]

ah ok... sadness lol

[steep tusk]

Not sadness. Once you get better stuff you will look at your original concept and say "OMG I can make it do THIS or I can make it do THAT and I can add THESE THINGS" because the stuff you get is amazing.

[fair shell]

ah ok. sounds good. is there a way to section this roof? I do not want to have to redo the entire roof unless absolutely necessary

[steep tusk]

Meadows is like... studio apartment tier because you're just supposed to kill Eikthyr and bounce.
BF will tempt you to build more, but honestly wait until you hit Swamp.
Swamp unlocks stone building and the ironwood beam -- which has the most structure points and enables the highest/widest buildings possible.

[steep tusk]

Not with your current materials.

[fair shell]

gotcha. Thank you for the insight!

if you build down in the middle, you can stabilize it again i would say - but you need to go down in the middle

Is it normal for hildir to spawn like this?

[steep tusk]

If there is a tiny sliver of meadows in the middle of a swamp in her spawn radius so all the rng aligns - yes, normal.
Is rng aligning like that normal -no.

[sullen wing]

the ground is svamp, there is a tiny tiny patch of meadows, then plains and svamp

[steep tusk]

If you pull it up on the map viewer website and zoom way in there is a pixel or 2 of meadows guaranteed.

[sullen wing]

It would be better if it was meadows.. and chance of getting a rested buff..

[surreal pagoda]

Updating my map marking scheme a bit:

Fireplace - Hostile thing of some kind. Dungeon, encampment, spawner, whatever. Cross out if cleared but still remaining (like a burial chamber fully looted) or delete if completely gone (destroyed spawner)
House - My own bases, ports, shelters etc.
Dot - Respawnable resources, try to limit it to significant size though (berry bushes, mushrooms etc, probably not a single bush though)
Hammer - "Work to do" - like ore deposits or leviathans etc. Might just stick "interesting thing" in here too for good measure, like maypoles or shipwrecks.
"Portal" - Portals. With label so I can easily connect a portal to anyone I see on the map (I don't plan to have a "hub" but rather connect them on-demand)

Does any of this strike you as particularly bad ideas? 😄

[steep tusk]

If it works for you, it is not bad. 🤷‍♂️

I laid out my scheme because it allows me to not have to type.
If this system works for you, it is inherently a good thing.

[surreal pagoda]

Since the text doesn't show on the minimap I tried to make it work even without the text... so one thing for "danger", one for "pick this up if you have space and are passing by", "go here for shelter", would be clear even without the text

[steep tusk]

That is the baseline of my system. Symbols-only.

[surreal pagoda]

Too many different things to forego text completely though, I feel personally. Biome context helps a bunch, but still

[steep tusk]

For you 😄
The only text I have is "M" for mushrooms in only 2 biomes.

And I honestly could swap it out by just switching shrooms to the runestone symbol because I don't use it for anything other than marking where I left my boat.

Meaning zero text needed.

Hi. Im new here and to the game. Finally decided to play but im having a slight problem removing this stone hill. We cant flaten it out or remove in any way. What can i do?

Heya! Im using an online server host for multiplayer between me and a friend (dont have the HW for a dedicated server and it means we can both join independently), but am running into a pretty annoying issue. The server wants a "FWL" and a "DB" file, but... my folders simply dont have those files???

The save location for the worlds is supposedly "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local", but in that folder I have no FWL or DB files, only these???????????

I download the default world thats on the server already... windows has no issue seeing that that is an FWL file... anyone got any help?? tearing my hear out at this

even searching in the \IronGate\Valheim folder for the fwl file extension, theres nothing in there that has fwl

thing is, the world im tryna use, i have loaded into and generated and exited and saved... it just doesnt exist in my game files somehow????

oh ok figured it out

"automatically saves to the cloud"... 10/10

[obtuse plinth]

I have a issue, I am burnt out i want to play but it just is boring without multiplayer i don't have friends to play with anymore any tips to get back into the game?

[drowsy crane]

My advice is really taking your time with finding a seed and picking out a great base spot that is far different than what you've done previously. Like a mountain base for example.

[obtuse plinth]

Well... That's interesting... I restarted the map (sucked, but at least it wasn't very far into progression)... and went back because the first stone for the Elder still insisted on the same old position. Interestingly enough, the altar was actually there this time.

Well, it might be possible the certain POI not moving, did you start the world before the Call to Arms update?

Hello and beautiful Sunday morning fellow Vikings! I have 2 questions;

1. Is there a bot/a way for me to display how many people are online in the Valheim Server in my Discord?

2. Is there a way for me to increase the value of ZNET? A player of mine is getting timed out before he’s done downloading server data because he’s got shitty internet

Thanks in advance 🙏

[exotic hinge]

Just to check; you can't regain stamina treading water in Vanilla Valheim right?

[drowsy crane]

Correct, though there are workarounds for desperate moments.

[clever birch]

If you are playing coop
Get your friend to drive the boat over to you before you run out of stamina.

[exotic hinge]

Knowing my friends, they'd probably sail over just to push me under.

I took a swig of Medium Stamina Potion to regen stamina in the water to boost my swim distance and it didn't work. Then I noticed my stamina was regenerating when I was holding still. I think I have a mod on that took some liberties with the mechanics when I wasn't looking.

[true steeple]

You should ask in #mods-issues

[steady viper]

guess someone's in for a diet 😂

[fair shell]

Am I missing something? isnt the vein suppose to pop?

[true steeple]

It's probably too close to something. The area checked is larger than what you can see.

[fair shell]

I cant mine under the copper vein. some spots let me go deeper than others but I think other than that its not touching anything. what do you mean by the area checked is larger than what I can see?

[true steeple]

For the copper to be destroyed instantly, none of the breakable pieces can be close to terrain or other objects. The area checked for these objects and terrain is a cube which can't fit perfectly around the ore, so objects that aren't visibly touching the ore can still stop it from breaking.

[fair shell]

ohhhhhh that makes much more sense. damn. gonna spend like 3 game days mining lol

[faint osprey]

first mine all of the pieces that are near terrain trees or rocks so you can still pop some of it

[tired root]

Yes, after certain bosses certain mobs start to spawn in other biomes during night, like Fulings after defeating Yagluth.

[brave carbon]

any way to build these parts?

[frosty frost]

Nope

[brave carbon]

😢

[frosty frost]

Its sad, we would need some better than sub-standard quality copper to be able to do that 🙁

[brave carbon]

yeah

buy my tablets tho

[lucid onyx]

What do I need to build/create that will allow me to place food on a table?

[frosty frost]

You need to go to swamp trader and buy serving tray 🙂

[lucid onyx]

thank you

[true furnace]

Hello, i have a quick question, i played recently (after several months off) and i noticed that tar feels a bit different, have they changed the drop rate of tar from growths? It feels like it’s better now

[frosty frost]

Not sure 🤔 i dont remember any changes to tar really

[true furnace]

I’m asking because i’m considering dupping tar btw, i’ve lost my most recent save, i grinded a lot of tar to make a castle and made some tar farms but lost it 🙁

and i don’t want (neither have time) to do it all again, if they increased it i can try collecting it again manually, but it’s defnitively an annoying task anyway

[frosty frost]

Well, i think lost save is one of the better reasons to turn to devcommands 🙂

Especially to just recover the lost stuff

[steep tusk]

You do know like 90% of the tar is not from drops right? It's at the bottom of the pits.

Growths drop like 2ish. Pits hold 100+.

[spare vault]

Growths respawn tho, so once you've drained every single tar pit on your world you can still get tar that way 😄

[frosty frost]

Yep, tho it is slow 🙂

[steep tusk]

Massive builds in my experience only take like 4-5 pits to supply and there's probably 100 pits minimum per world.
No need to farm 🤷‍♂️

[uncut mirage]

I've found copper veins are the hardest to pop, so I don't bother anymore, I only ever grab the necessary amount to move to the next biome
Once you get higher pickaxe skill and better pickaxes, mining coppe is tap tap move on

[uncut mirage]

biggest tar deposit are at the bottom of the pit but I've not noticed any changes

[true furnace]

You’re right, i meant the pits drop rate, not growths’, sorry my bad

[hasty marten]

mosquitoes attack tammed animals?

[white slate]

does having more wisp fountains right next to each other get you more wisps?

[stoic trench]

Yeah, they do

[tired root]

Tamed mobs belong to player faction, so they will attack them.

[stoic trench]

I believe so

[steep tusk]

Feed your boars/lox the mosquito potion when? 😏

[frosty frost]

There Is a limit to how many can be near each other, so its best to space them out 🙂

[lucid onyx]

What do people spend their gold on? I have stacks of it, any suggestions?

[steep tusk]

Bog Witch mats for meads/feasts.

[stoic trench]

Mine usually goes towards barrel and mead ingredients. Or I’ll use it to decorate a treasure room

[lucid onyx]

I need to actually catch up on changes, i took a break and some of the stuff is so new to me.

[steep tusk]

👍

[lucid onyx]

Yeah, i have all the mountains of gold lol

[woven sparrow]

so all my moder spawns look like this appairently. how am i supposed to even reach these safely???
i really don't wanna go into the mistlands with mountain gear

[frosty frost]

There can easily be a path to her without mistlands 😄

[woven sparrow]

from what i've been told (gave someone my seed and asked for other moder spawns) they're all 3 close to the end of the world, surrounded by mistlands.

[gleaming marten]

what is the difference between the black forest buffet and swam dwellers delight platter?? they have the same exact stats?

[frosty frost]

Hmm, can i look?

[woven sparrow]

it's a seed of the prev version, do you need the files?

[frosty frost]

The first 3 feasts have the exact same stats, yeah

[woven sparrow]

cuz i made the world before call to arms

[steep tusk]

Wait until I tell you about Whole Roasted Meadow Boar 😉

[gleaming marten]

so there's no benefit of making the swamp one over the black forest one if i have more black forest stuff?

[frosty frost]

Nope, since this area has not been generated yet and the land shape should not change really

[woven sparrow]

ah ok

[steep tusk]

Not to mention Mountain Stew and Sailor Bounty...

[frosty frost]

You can make all 3 😄

[woven sparrow]

il3QGbcjuu

(had a really cool and safe starter island :D)

[woven sparrow]

iirc they're more for decorating

[steep tusk]

You do not remember correctly at all.

[frosty frost]

Great base and exploration food

[woven sparrow]

true that too, but i mean the ones of higher level food

[steep tusk]

Still great, not decorative.

Super long-lasting can be worth losing out on 20 of each stat if you've still got enough in the pool to parry things.

[woven sparrow]

i more mean why waste mats on swamp dwellers delight if you could make the meadow boar, no difference in stats and uses iirc

[steep tusk]

Make all 3 so you have 105/105 for an insanely long time 🤷‍♂️

[frosty frost]

You can get to one of them without going through other biomes, this one you have is completely surrounded by mistlands, one other in the ||west|| has only slim border of plains and the last one near ||ashlands|| in the ||south|| has mountain biome going into the ocean because of a special terrain generation in those places.

[quartz schooner]

Can I get some stuff

[steep tusk]

You can always get stuff.

[quartz schooner]

Weapons?

[woven sparrow]

aight, then i'll probably go for the one west, thanks for the info!

[steep tusk]

Build them or spawn them. Can always get stuff.

[compact heath]

If you want someone to give you very powerful weapons etc to make the game easier, I'd rather play myself with the world modifiers and earn them yourself, else you will like not even play the game, and the early game is very popular and fun to most people, you will not go far. Also sometimes people give someone weapons etc that they can't even repair at that level because they don't have the right repair station yet. Makes no sense imo

[steep tusk]

And we got a bot...

[zinc lotus]

hey , there is logical that our host can xp his spear's level on the target but me and another friend can't?

[white vapor]

You have PvP enabled?

[bronze crow]

Anyone experiencing valheim crashing? I have a pretty powerful PC, and its crashing within 5 minutes of launching and playing on the server. Been playing since 2021, never had issues with crashing before. Just a random freeze and crash

[crude cove]

when i type 'help' in the console, there is a command called 'fov'. entering 'fov' returns the current fov. using 'fov 80', for example, will set the fov to 80, but only on the title screen. when i load into the game, my fov is set back to 65 and the command is a no op

[ornate finch]

Which specs do you have? And in what manner are you crashing (app freeze + you have to force close the game, app freeze and errpr pops up soon after, black screen, crash to desktop with no error, PC shutdown...)

[full mesa]

atleast access to weapons they can repair

[alpine geode]

Does a ward reduces enemy (AI) DMG against my structures?

[frosty frost]

No it does not, but it alerts you when they are being damaged 🙂

[alpine geode]

Ok thx

[frosty frost]

Invincible buildings are no fun.

[stoic trench]

Definitely read that as invisible buildings at first, and I strongly disagreed lol

[alpine geode]

Yeah thanks but I don't play with mods at the moment

[frosty frost]

Any enclosed dungeon or trader bubble can acomplish that 😄

[bronze crow]

@ornate finch app freezes and game closes, error message in event viewer says unknown reason. Its just saying there is a hang. I disabled cloud saving, but this didn't resolve it. specs include 1080 GPU, i78700k, 32GB Ram. Not having this problem with any other game

[ornate finch]

Will DM you about this

[tardy crow]

So im using the CustomAudio - LocationMusic mod to set custom music but there doesnt seem to be a way to set the Ocean music. is it possible to do this?

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[tardy crow]

ah sorry I didnt see that channel

[frosty frost]

No worries

[viral bough]

I thought this for a while, too. Then (finally) I noticed that whole roasted boar only gives you 2HP per tick versus 3 on the other two. Minor difference and still probably the best one consideringt the cheapness of the mats

[frosty frost]

Huh, true that 😄 i dont use feasts often and especially the first few so i never noticed

[steep tusk]

If I find the Bog Witch early in swamp tier I almost immediately swap to FFF because it's so simple, long-lasting, and gives enough stats for everything I want to do in that biome.

[frosty frost]

I do agree that feasts are awesome 😄

[tired root]

Yes, having 3 first feasts during swamp era is quite nice stat and duration vise.

Now in my latest playthrough I tested around and switched to HSF during Ashlands and had quite nicely balanced stats.

[steep tusk]

And it gives you 130/155 stats which is more than enough to parry everything.

[zinc lotus]

yes i did

[tiny violet]

I like doing Feast/Feast/Meal.
The meal can be Health or Stam depending on your playstyle.
I prefer F/F/HPmeal myself

[frosty frost]

F F S/H is great if you want duration 🙂 but if you want just stats the dedicated S or H foods will be usually better

[tight nymph]

i installed the C++ thing but it didnt fix the problem

[ornate finch]

Windows 11?

[tight nymph]

yes

[ornate finch]

Installed this one?

[tight nymph]

i got the ARM 64

yeah the X64 thing fixed it. thanks!

[cosmic thistle]

Hi guys
I know i am 4 years late but is this game still worth it

[spare vault]

Definitely. Even more so than 4 years ago, one might argue.

[steep tusk]

As it has been for the past 4 years -- worth is subjective to the individual.

[rancid sigil]

any tips for the area 3 boss?

also, does enemy health scale with more players?

[thorn spire]

bosses only, yes.

[spare vault]

All enemies. Technically, it's not their health that scales but you deal less (and take more) damage when there's more players.

[steep tusk]

See his 2 second long animations and understand you don't ever have to damage in that fight unless you choose to.

[gusty rampart]

Is there a lets say more attractive way to make these portals save safe and not sucking me inside? Cause rn the doors are there as a safety so i dont get sucked in by accident

[clever juniper]

you can try putting the portals up on a platform so you have to jump to go through

[gusty rampart]

Hm. Definetly sounds like a alternative

Thx

[steady viper]

my central portal, the one at my base which works as a hub teleporting me to all the other locations, usually remains outside my house for that exact reason (and I generally have defensive walls, so it's not a problem)

the terminals, on the other end, are usually sheltered and/or elevated to prevent damage

[full mesa]

You could try ya know seperating them

and not put it in your main house

[gusty rampart]

I would do the same but my brother and I are a chaotic duo and we didn’t yet do walls. We can but he said it looks prettier without. That’s why. Idk why he wants it so much without the walls. But for now the portals are in the second floor of our house. Basically only I go there cause up there are only my bees. The storage is in the basement

[gusty rampart]

I know. But space… maybe I have to add more portals…

[full mesa]

just make another box house and put the portals there

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, having a building/area for portals is definitely recommended, you will end up with at least 9 if you don't remove them from boss areas and sail home.

[steep tusk]

Huh. I must be playing the game wrong given I have 2 and you're declaring I need at least 9.

[drowsy crane]

2 portals? Are you mad sir?

[steep tusk]

No. I have an ohshit portal and one that I rename.

[drowsy crane]

Assuming you have Elder & Eikthyr on your spawn island, you'll want a portal for: Bonemass&Swamps/Yagluth&Plains/Moder&Mountains/Queen&Mistlands/Fader&Ashlands/Hildir/Haldor/BogWitch/Spawn Stones

[vagrant pulsar]

If you been hosting a server for a friend and you buy a dec server later how do you get that world to the dec server ?

[steep tusk]

Ok but how does this necessitate having a building area just for portals when I have only 2 at my house?

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[drowsy crane]

So you have a portal building?

[steep tusk]

No.

Because I have only 2.

[drowsy crane]

...uhh, because access to those areas I listed above.

[steep tusk]

So they are just next to each other on the wall in the eating room.

[steep tusk]

That's the one that gets renamed based on where I want to go.

[stoic trench]

🍿 🥤

[drowsy crane]

So if you want to utilize coin from an adventure, you stop, rename the portal, wait for it connect, and then proceed?

I love the convenience of setting up a portal network that makes sense too much for all that.

In fact, I want more reasons to build.

[steep tusk]

Given they made connection instant so we can't rename and walk through (which was amazing tech and I want it back) - no, I don't spend time waiting.

[drowsy crane]

You do whilst renaming it.

You also have to type names out and remember them.

[steep tusk]

Oh no... 2 seconds. I can feel my life withering away....

TikTok has ruined brains around the world...

[drowsy crane]

I just don't understand why you wouldn't take the time to build a nice portal house.

[steep tusk]

Because it's pointless when 1 portal does what 20 portals do.

[drowsy crane]

I've never opened TikTok in my life, I just have 20 year in carpentry and relish the opportunity to build a magical looking building for portals, so I truly don't understand the minimalist approach.

Especially because I get into collecting lush biomes with interesting landscapes and plenty of foraging, so I end up with 4-5 of each biome connected to a portal, on top of everything I mentioned.

Within those portals are N,E,S,W portals covering the island for quick jumps for anything I might need.

[drowsy crane]

Here's a lovely portal hub build I have saved if you need inspiration for later!

[carmine garnet]

Does someone know or have a thread for Xbox console commands?

[lethal swift]

is there aa build piece that has a .5m snap point vertically the same way the door has a .5 horizontal snap point

for context i would like this to halfway clip through the floor for a slightly raised platform for a campfire

but snapped to the floor is too low and just sitting on top (like screenshot) is too high

[marble pagoda]

there's the horizontal corewood beams that kinda do it

[lethal swift]

TRUE ty

[steep tusk]

What I do is I place the stone first and then using the no-snap placement I connect the very first wood floor where I want it and then just snap the rest off that.

[lethal swift]

thats actually exacatly the spacing i need tyty

[gusty rampart]

Thx. Once I unlock the stone buildings I’ll definetly start to try build bigger and more organized.

I have another question. Is there a way to make the dodge roll set on one single key instead of the default key combination? Cause I happen to be a Elden player and surprisingly often I just block and then jump. Ofc I do manage to do it sometimes but the chances are high for me to mess it up. So if I could set it on one single key that would be quite helpful

[drowsy crane]

No unfortunately that bind isn't able to be changed. You might be able to make something work as a macro though.

[gusty rampart]

As a macro? What do you mean by that?

[marble pagoda]

binding a key to input space + right click in a different program

[thorn spire]

You can put a horizontal corewood beam on your floor, then snap another regular 2m wood beam to the top of it. Snap the stone to the 2m beam for a slightly raised platform.

[spare vault]

Personally I just check the map where I have named entries for each portal

[drowsy crane]

Yeah you wouldn't catch me doing that

[gusty rampart]

You mean use a second program to kinda like mod it?

[marble pagoda]

ye

[drowsy crane]

There are plenty of free macro programs, but if you use a razer keyboard, there are macro options built into the razer suite.

[gusty rampart]

I don’t think I have a razor. It’s a weak keyboard. Max 3 key inputs at once

But ill take a look around for some macros then. Thx

[vagrant pulsar]

Macros are not mods they I just make it so you hit one button and the computer will use the macro to use more then one button so he is talking about making a macro so you can for example hit f key and activate the macro and the computer will import right click + space bar and they game will do that witch will make you dodge however is it a second program like the following
Autohotkey, Pulover's Macro Creator, and Macro Recorder (Jitbit)

I don’t they they are considered mods at least but every thing else should be accurate

[orchid notch]

Hey so a week or so ago someone mentioned a block sheet or block document or something.

It tells you what can be blocked by shields and what can't. Does anyone have a link? I can't find it.

[stoic trench]

#valheim-chat message

At the bottom, I believe it’s the ‘blocking breakpoints’ link

[orchid notch]

Thank you!! That's it.

[steep tusk]

@tired root SHOCK INTENSIFIES

[wet totem]

what areana?

[faint osprey]

||a fighting ring that very rarely spawns in meadows with a skeleton spawner in the middle and a chest||

[vagrant pulsar]

How does magic work, I got some staffs and I got a flower that gives like 25 eitr or mana but like idk how to have like 100 for some of the staffs or anything and stuff

I haven’t built the mage armor yet but I am getting there but idk how to have the high mana like 100 or so

[frosty frost]

You need more advanced mage food than the just the shroom 🙂

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh

I feel like that was obvious but I saw armor say it regens fast so I was hoping it would be like different then food you can get like a set number of mana but then increase it or something

[vagrant pulsar]

Love how you knew it was the shroom

[frosty frost]

Well, only thing in mistlands that could look like a flower and gives you eitr is the magecap mushroom 😄

[vagrant pulsar]

Ye

[gusty rampart]

Ah. I see. Are the autohotkey, pulovers macro creator etc examples of such macros?

[vagrant pulsar]

Kinda sucks that it takes so long just to get magic tho but happy I got to mistlands now I can use magic and build my cool stuff I wanted to

[vagrant pulsar]

Macro program

[gusty rampart]

Programs? Like to create such a macro?

[vagrant pulsar]

Yes

And use

[gusty rampart]

I see. Thx a bunch

[vagrant pulsar]

Np

Thanks to people like @frosty frost that help me a lot bc there the reason I stay in chat a lot

[lucid coral]

Can lox suffocate in walls or something? Found my Lox dead in his pen when i got on my world today and i have no idea how he could have died

[vagrant pulsar]

Made sure lox was fed?

[frosty frost]

Where do you have the pen?

[tired root]

Mageplay is quite strong, many say much easier than melee combat, which I agree. Would be hard to balance it if it was added earlier biomes than Mistlands.

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh I didn’t know it was strong I used a frost staff and did 10 damage and only could do one bc I only had a shroom but ima test it more tomorrow I had to restart bc my whole base got destroyed but got most of the good stuff to rebuild

[lucid coral]

meadows

[frosty frost]

Hmm, how does it look? Meaning how big the walls are.
Also, is it close to other biomes?
Do you sleep through nights or stay active?

[tired root]

I mean, when you have proper foods then it will be strong. Ember staff has huge AoE and high fire and blunt damage.

And protection staff is strong defensive layer for mageplayers.

[lucid coral]

pretty cramped as it was temporary, plains and black forest a bit away. Me and my friend spent 2 days and nights sailing so

[vagrant pulsar]

Ok, are getting proper food hard or nah

[frosty frost]

If enemies could see the lox then some greydwarfes, skeletons or other enemies with ranged attacks could have killed it 🤔

[vagrant pulsar]

I can handle one star seeker and less

[tired root]

Keep gathering materials from mobs, infested mines and more blue shrooms, you can farm them with cultivator.

[frosty frost]

Shouldnt be, look in prep table for stuffed mushroom and in cauldron for yggdrasil porridge and seeker aspic 🙂

[vagrant pulsar]

I got a bit of that I might be missing like one thing or something

[tired root]

Remember to upgrade the cauldron!

[vagrant pulsar]

Not really finding a ton of food prep stuff idk if it’s not like finding a herb or spice if there in the game or something bc even Black Forest and other stuff only have like 2 recipes

[vagrant pulsar]

I think it’s 2-3 not 100% I am not home

[frosty frost]

Did you ever found turnips?

[vagrant pulsar]

Not sure I don’t think so

Found onions where are they spawn at

My friend got onion seeds I didn’t know until last night

[frosty frost]

That would explain a lot, its needed in in 2 of the swamp foods, the stuffed mushroom from mistlands and most importantly in cauldron upgrade

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh where do you find turnips 🫜

[frosty frost]

Swamp 🙂

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh no

[frosty frost]

Yeah... 😅

[vagrant pulsar]

Not a fan of swamps

[frosty frost]

You were always 1 upgrade behind on cauldron, that is quite the raised difficulty

[vagrant pulsar]

Oh that bad?

[tired root]

Well, at least you have better gear now so swamp mobs ain't problem.

[tired root]

Yeah, each biome after black forest has new upgrade for cauldron to unlock new foods.

[vagrant pulsar]

Yeah problem now is that me and my friend are switching from that world to a dedicated server he brought so we are starting new with exploration and bosses but we moved all of our gear and stuff to the new server so tonight I got to build a good base for the new server

So yeah we get to have up

[dark kraken]

is there a way to mine copper other then just destroying the whole thing or does the whole rock give ore?

[frosty frost]

Each piece that the deposit is made from has 33,3% chance of dropping 2-4 copper ore 🙂

[dark kraken]

so it doesnt matter where the texture places the strains, just mine the whole thing?

[frosty frost]

Yep, all the individual pieces have the same chance 🙂

[steep tusk]

Skip the BF and just go to mining copper in the Mistlands 😏

[dark kraken]

sweet, thank you

[viral bough]

The trollstav does make mining copper a heck of a lot easier. That being said...

[steep tusk]

Ew, magic. 😏

[viral bough]

The Trollstav is the solution to every problem in the game.

[buoyant yarrow]

Do the cage wall and floor break enemy line of sight? For enemy mob cage purposes haha

[true steeple]

They're completely solid walls that only visually have holes in them

[steep tusk]

@hardy cargo

[hardy cargo]

Yea but I don’t have skill though.

[steep tusk]

Then use the middle shield so you can block without issue but work on parry skill.

[hardy cargo]

That is MY FAVORITE SHIELD!

[hardy cargo]

I sincerely thank you, my friend. Love you bro. ❤️

[steep tusk]

If you truly loved me you wouldn't call me bro 😭

[hardy cargo]

OH MY.

[hardy cargo]

I’m sorry, uh. Ma’am?

I love you! ❤️

Bro, ma’am, you’re my sister in Jesus!

[steep tusk]

I am of the male persuasion.
I am just not related to you.
So I am not your bro.

[hardy cargo]

Oh.

That’s what you mean. 😭

[hardy cargo]

We are related though, the Bible says we followers are one in Christ. I encourage you to Repent and Believe the Gospel.

[steep tusk]

Stop.

[hardy cargo]

You know Viking ms were predominantly Christian towards the last 600 years of their era? Cool right?

[hardy cargo]

God is Love, you must not want love smh.

[steep tusk]

Stop.

[hardy cargo]

Do the devs plan on releasing new boats? Does anybody know? That will be pretty cool.

[quiet wraith]

Is it safe to build a base on an ashland fortress? i'm struggling to make a base there without it being completely destroyed

[steep tusk]

Define "safe"

[quiet wraith]

well will enemies spawn inside?

[steep tusk]

You can spawnproof with things like workbenches.

[tired root]

It's "relatively safe", meaning no enemies cannot damage the walls.

Except Fader.

[quiet wraith]

that's what i wanted to know, because those slimes and skeletons are constantly breaking every wall

[steep tusk]

If you build your house next to Fader you have other concerns 😄

[quiet wraith]

this distance is enough i guess ?

[tired root]

Raised earth walls still work, although lava blobs can "hurt" them by altering the terrain where they explode.

[quiet wraith]

yea thats why i haven't done that either xD

I placed a bunch of yggdrasill walls and some ashwood spikes but it lasted like

30 min or so

[tired root]

Well, not letting lava blobs explode is way to keep them unharmed.

[smoky nexus]

Just don’t break the gate into it , take it over by going over the wall

[steep tusk]

Is your party an involuntary religious seminar?

[spare vault]

Convert them all into followers of the one true allfather, Odin

[summer phoenix]

Yea thats the way, raise earth ramp in, take it over, put up a shield so it doesnt burn down, and hope valkyries dont wanna fight you inside them ahahaha

[hardy cargo]

I’m not religious, it’s all about relation.

[lethal swift]

you saying this implies that you are

[hardy cargo]

I guess you are right lol.

Still love you guys though. 🔥

[lethal swift]

no you don’t

[hardy cargo]

Why do you think that lol?

[steep tusk]

Good afternoon @lethal swift 👋

[lethal swift]

good morning

[steep tusk]

Morning? 😭

[lethal swift]

i just woke up like 10m ago and am still in bed

[steep tusk]

Fair.

[full grotto]

hello im new to this game how do i kill a bear i spent like 15min fighting this thing with fire arrows and it killed me 3 times

[lethal swift]

higher bow skill or try using a sword or axe (it’s resistant to blunt and pierce)

[steep tusk]

^

[full grotto]

ok ill have to level up i guess thanks

[steep tusk]

Highly recommend going the melee route instead of forcing bow leveling 🤷‍♂️

[full grotto]

really? im not the best at dodging the big oaf but i can try

[steep tusk]

Spending time learning to be better at dodging will serve you better in the long run than the same amount of time spend leveling bow.

[tired root]

Bear is perfect target to practice dodging and parrying against.

[full grotto]

i have yet to parry anything is it a skill i can level up to?

[steep tusk]

Blocking skill, yes.

Keep in mind that food is the most important stat in Valheim.

[full grotto]

yes im not far enough to make any meals or anything so i just cook deer boar and the little frogs

[lethal swift]

go wait until you have bronze weapons and slightly better food to try killing a bear then

on default settings ~100 health will let you tank barely two hits and using a bronze weapon (either sword or axe) will let you parry everything except his big slam

[full grotto]

im horrible at timing so ill try to get some better gear and then ill try get better at parrying then ill 1v1 the fur ball lol

[steep tusk]

Bronze Buckler is such a massive blocking upgrade.

Wood Buckler when? 😏

[full grotto]

whats the bronze buckler

[steep tusk]

A massive blocking upgrade.

[full grotto]

so its a weapon i assume

[steep tusk]

Weapons are known for their blocking prowess?

[full grotto]

I DONT KNOW im high and brain aint crunching the facts Sevrahn

[steep tusk]

Well, when you stop altering your mental status with chemicals I will be here.

[magic trout]

haven't tried it, but do bears take fire damage? if so, could place a bunch around where you fight the bear

[lethal swift]

it’s a metal shield, that’s an upgrade over your wooden shield for blocking stuff

[steep tusk]

They outright avoid fire.

So if you don't feel like fighting them, just pull your torch out.

[lethal swift]

bucklers are smaller shields with higher parry bonuses, being 2.5x rather than 1.5x, so it’s really good with parrying

[full grotto]

ive returned sorry i was on the phone and @steep tusk imma alter that bears brain chemicals when i beat it with a club

[steep tusk]

Beating it with a torch will kill it faster.

[full grotto]

@lethal swift thank you i never in my life wouldve guessed it was a shield im new to this game and ive only beaten the first boss im doing my best to not spoil anything

thats a good point

[frosty frost]

Tbh, if you dont want spoilers then it would be best not to read too much the chats here 😄

[steep tusk]

Sophie is good people.

[full grotto]

im trying not to but i do need some guidance cause i was stuck lol

[steep tusk]

Food spreadsheet, configurations tab.

That's the biggest help I can give you because of how important food is and it tells you what to aim for.

[full grotto]

first i gotta found out how to cook before i even worry about that lol

[steep tusk]

Fire? You already said you're cooking the meats.

[lethal swift]

i think he means the first appliance you get

[full grotto]

i mean like make meals

[steep tusk]

Tin.

[frosty frost]

In black forest you will unlock cauldron 🙂

[steep tusk]

I was going less spoiler...

[full grotto]

dont have that yet its thundering outside my base

[steep tusk]

By saying get Tin and it will reveal itself.
But Asatru with the major spoil drops. 😏

[full grotto]

on rainy days is it worth going out ive been told many times to never get wet

[hardy cargo]

Less stamina regenerate when wet by rain.

[lethal swift]

it’s not that bad but rain isn’t a reason to not explore, really

[frosty frost]

Not that big of a spoil imo 🤔 but if you would really not want to spoil Sev then you should have said something along the lines "Look around water in BF" 😉

[full grotto]

fair point sophie

[lethal swift]

being not wet helps but wet is only -15% (rested is +100%)

[full grotto]

then whats the comfort buff do?

[lethal swift]

rested is the comfort buff

[steep tusk]

Extends your Rested by 1 minute per point.

[full grotto]

ohhhh

[lethal swift]

oh that yea

[steep tusk]

MASSIVE second biome spoils.
Whole game ruined.
😏

[full grotto]

sorry i feel like im bothering lol but what about feathers ive killed some birds but i was wondering if there was a faster way like finding nests or something

[steep tusk]

Faster way not available until biome 5.

[frosty frost]

Not really for now, but you can find them in chests quite often 🙂

[full grotto]

ooo ok ill def try to find some chests i havent even found a dungeon yet

[steep tusk]

But I don't even spend feathers on anything until Mountain tbh.

[full grotto]

arrows 🙁

[steep tusk]

You find plenty of free arrows everywhere and wood arrows don't take feathers.

[frosty frost]

Those i usually find plenty in chests too 😄

[full grotto]

i heard flint is better to kill trolls though

[lethal swift]

slightly

[steep tusk]

Flint is free.

[full grotto]

but you need flint and feathers for the flint arrows

[steep tusk]

Flint arrows in chests in Meadows/BF.

[full grotto]

ill have to go dungeon hunting then

[tired root]

I prefer fire arrows during black forest era.

[frosty frost]

So you skip ||huntsman bow|| i see 😏

[lethal swift]

yes they are better but realistically it’s like 4 damage per arrow so it’s not that worth it

[steep tusk]

I use spears until Draugr Fang, lol.

[full grotto]

im using a crude bow

idk what tier that is

[lethal swift]

make a bronze axe with your first bits of metal, you’ll get a better one with the materials you get from that

[frosty frost]

For some reason even after so many hours i still have aversion to throwing spears 😄 i will rather use even the inaccurate bows

[full grotto]

will do🫡

i can barely aim the bow ill miss with a spear

[frosty frost]

The spear is actually really accurate 😄
-# once you get feel for it

[full grotto]

really?

why is the bow do bad then?

[frosty frost]

It isnt 😄

[full grotto]

accuracy wise

[steep tusk]

Crude bow is horrible at aiming because it is CRUDE.

[tired root]

Spear throw arc is very straight, but you need to aim bit higher for longer distances.

[full grotto]

fair point

[steep tusk]

Second bow is when they start being accurate.

[full grotto]

ill have to make a spear now

[tired root]

First 2 bows are sometimes inaccurate, but 1st much more.

[hardy cargo]

How do you feel about a 9 spear run?

[steep tusk]

Spears my beloved.

[tired root]

3rd bow arc is straight.

[frosty frost]

Oh heck no
Very much not for me 😄

[full grotto]

spear only rn?

[steep tusk]

Have done. Is fun.

[hardy cargo]

Really?

[lethal swift]

second bow is close enough to accurate for everything you realistically should shoot with it (close range small targets, trolls, ||lox||)

[tired root]

I know that.

[lethal swift]

unironically it only stops being good in mistlands and even then it’s usable if you use expensive arrows (bow skill is crazy)

[hardy cargo]

Lol, I actually really like the spear.

[frosty frost]

Oh i like them too 😄 just not throwing them

[full grotto]

spear only run when

[hardy cargo]

I lost the clip of me sniping a deer with the spear almost two hills away.

[full grotto]

i just found the goblin nest and i destroyed it will it end up regenerating?

[drowsy crane]

Goblin Nest?

[full grotto]

the little dwarf guys

[steep tusk]

Greydwarves.

[full grotto]

yes sorry

[steep tusk]

And no, they don't come back.

[full grotto]

oh uh then i shouldnt of broken it?

[steep tusk]

That's up to you. I destroy them all.

Cheese people build them into infinite spawn farms because they find playing the game too difficult 🤷‍♂️

[full grotto]

yeah i dont need that i like the game so far

[white slate]

when i first got ancient seed i thought i could plant it and it would grow into greydwarven nest 🙁

i found a maypole on my new save, there's no way to move it anyway? i need to build my bedrom next to it, if i want the buff?

[frosty frost]

-# Greydwarfs* ☝️ 🤓

[tired root]

There are lot more of those nests and they drop something important.

[full grotto]

woah i got an ancient seed

[steep tusk]

Devs not having localized spelling yet doesn't mean I will pluralize dwarf incorrectly 😏

[full grotto]

I FOUND A SECOND NEST

[steep tusk]

Kill it and get another seed.

You will need 3.

Asatru out here wielding knifes and running with wolfs 😭

[frosty frost]

I didnt do a knife playthrough in a long time actually 🤔

[tired root]

Just FYI, one greydwarf type also can drop ancient seeds.

[full grotto]

ok ok ok

[steep tusk]

What a brutish thing to say.

[full grotto]

also does using a god power make me gain less xp in those stats cause this makes me lose less stam when running so wont i gain less xp to balance it?

[steep tusk]

No.

[full grotto]

ok thanks

[steep tusk]

Game isn't balanced around skills at all. They are just free stat buffs.

[full grotto]

ahh ok gotcha

[steep tusk]

@tired root because of which enemy drops it... I was being cheeky.

[tired root]

I know. 🙂‍↕️
