[white slate]

does coal in hanging brazier last longer than resin in sconce?

afaik resin burns like ~30min?

[edgy light]

"you are being hunted" but im in the ocean, will they drown like idiots or chase me forever?

[tired root]

That area certainly counts as plains still, which is why the event triggered there. The event is on pause until you enter the area again (which is also bit larger than what it shows on map).

And most mobs cannot spawn if there is no land in spawning area.

[surreal pagoda]

If you simply don't reenter it, does it stay forever? 😄 And if so, does it block other raids from starting

[tired root]

It goes off either by staying there till the end or until another event is triggered.

[gusty rampart]

Hi. Quick question. Can I somehow dig myself a hole with a roof to build a lil base?

[steady viper]

you won't be able to dig deeper than 8m from the terrain's original height, but yes, you can dig a hole and cover it with a roof. It will still count as shelter

[gusty rampart]

But I won’t be able to make the roof from natural ground? Without having to build it myself?

[steady viper]

oh, no, you can't make caverns of any kind with the terrain

[gusty rampart]

Aw. Alr. Thx

[mossy spire]

one way you can do this is find a nice set of rock and dig uneder it creating a cave like base.

other than that as Seijiro said cant make cave bases other than doing that or what they suggested as well

[steady viper]

or you could use indestructible structures like dungeons or troll caverns and dig under. The elder's altar is also a pretty popular choice

[gusty rampart]

Hmm. But won’t the elder destroy it when I spawn him again?

[steady viper]

well, there are several elder locations, so you could build under one and summon him in another

and no, he won't destroy it if it's below the altar, since the altar itself is indestructible

[mossy spire]

oh yes. forgot about using these to do this. just geting back into the game after a 1.5 yr break

[gusty rampart]

Kk. Thx a bunch

[steady viper]

so as long as your base is entirely under it, he shouldn't be able to reach it

[gusty rampart]

Kk

[tired arrow]

these 2 star heavy type enemies are such a slog to fight. I might even say that it's shoddy game design, the payoff doesnt even match the risk and over extended hp after killing it (only exception is the 2 star miniboss in ashlands, because atleast he drops something cool)

[steep tusk]

Your food being 3-4 biomes behind is not doing you any favors.

[steady viper]

and you could use an atgeir to stagger him and get it done faster...

heck, your weapons in general don't look good just like your food slots: only the frostner is something you should be using in the plains in the first place, everything else should be upgraded to their silver counterparts

[steep tusk]

Higher food lets you parry and nuke them.

[steady viper]

actually, you could settle for the iron bow, since the difference in damage isn't that high with the silver bow, but everything else is just not that great for the plains

[tired root]

2 star is harder to stagger, even with atgeir.

[steady viper]

well, sure, when the beserker is full health it might not do much staggering, but it really speeds up the fight once it's below half for sure

[tired root]

Stagger limit varies in 30-50% of their full HP, not current.

The stagger meter decreases over time for mobs too, similarly how you can see your own stagger meter lower when not taking hits.

[rocky sphinx]

hi, I talked about this before in valheim-chat but I figured Id ask here since no answers there
I play on a server I host with my brother, however we havent played in a while. he has his game through the xbox app, i do through steam. we played back when valheim was on the xbox pass, however, its not anymore, as of sept 30 2025 it has been removed. he had two characters there that were pretty developed, do they transfer to steam if on the same device? if not, are these characters saveable? can you still purchase valheim through the xbox application and/or access it somehow to move the characters?

[tired arrow]

mb, i forgot that food matters WAY more in this game, does that mean ill be able to parry these 2 star berserkers with plains tier food with just a maxed out iron buckler in normal mode?

[ornate finch]

If your brother played on Xbox PC app and never transferred their saves from Cloud to Local (via manage saves menu), then you would need to buy the game on Xbox app to be able to access those saves. Then the saves can be moved from Cloud to Local where Steam can access them.

If your brother player on Xbox PC app and moved their saves from Cloud to Local, then the character saves should be in this folder: %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\characters_local

[rocky sphinx]

Cheers!

[wide delta]

Hey guys, figured I'd ask here first cause i can't find ANYTHING online about it or who it's by. I accidently downloaded a mod, possibly in valheimplus? but i'm not sure. It gave my create a character fully dynamic hair and beards.

I somehow turned it off in the process of making the mods all work together and can NOT find it at allll. I had chosen a straight long hair option with bald on top and my beard was long and flowing. does anyone at all know what the hell mod i had?? lol please and thank you.

[tired root]

You can ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 for further help. 👍

[wide delta]

ok thank you!

[gritty sun]

Hey ! (sorry, google translate), (spoiler mountain boss)
|| I was in combat with Moder and she flew super far away, while I was still at her spawn location. She literally disappeared into the sky, I don't even see the boss bar anymore. Is this normal? ||

[tired root]

She probably just flew far enough to not be on active area, try find around and you might find her.
Bosses don't despawn by their own.

[gritty sun]

She is no longer in the mountain, she's almost gone into space. But thank you for your answer.

I will wait

[tired root]

It's possible she flew near other biomes too, if not found in the mountain.

[rocky sphinx]

Ok.. he didn't have it on local, it was on cloud.. guess he'll have to buy it then. Unless theres another way to get the data which I doubt

[barren coral]

what would good ways be for transporting animals? if i want to send boars to another island

[steep tusk]

Blocking sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat

[gusty rampart]

Do these stones do smt special? Maybe hide smt or so? Or is it just a coincidence i found them like this?

[steep tusk]

You will find more of that formation. It is just a stone thing that gets generated in the world.

[gusty rampart]

kk. Thx. I alr started pounding the ground around there with the stag to see if smt happens

[frosty frost]

It was designed to have a purpose at first but for EA release it was left just as interesting stone formation 🙂

[gusty rampart]

Ah. So maybe i should still mark the spot for later versions?

[solemn osprey]

Best bet is turning on friendly fire and harpooning, but you have to be careful not to kill.

[spare ravine]

Does a stack of refined eitr shoots more, or deadlier radioactive particles than just one refined eitr?

[frosty frost]

Still the same afaik

[rapid shale]

Why is the stability on these roof pieces stuck on red

[drowsy crane]

The build height most likely.

Would need a better view to be sure.

[spare ravine]

to be fair it doesnt matter if its red

[drowsy crane]

Hmm, I would try supporting underneath the inner pole as well.

[spare ravine]

it just means you cannot build more over it

[steady viper]

as a rule of thumb, you can only place 4 normal wood beams vertically/horizontally before everything falls apart. You have 3 vertical and 1 horizontal there, plus some tiny support from everything else in the roof

[spare ravine]

also I might be wrong but I think you can get a bit better stability if you use corewood

[steady viper]

oh damn, that's even worse, since it's not directly connected to ground

[rapid shale]

well if i add more support it should work right? or is the height still a problem

[steady viper]

the problem is the height from ground

[rapid shale]

i added support with the beams and it's still red/orange

[drowsy crane]

Floating unsupported will become questionable, and it will be based on connections that run straight into the ground or foundation.

[steady viper]

raise the terrain below the beam at least and it may improve overall stability, but you should just use corewood instead for support

[steep tusk]

Because you're in Meadows and have only wood.
Build smaller until you hit Swamp. Then you get better materials and can build as you like.

[spare ravine]

couldnt he use corewood?

[rapid shale]

oh damn i built all this for nothing 🙁, ill try corewood

[steep tusk]

Did you genuinely think wood was the only material across the entire game?

[drowsy crane]

Not at all, you just need to support it properly.

[steady viper]

you'd probably need iron beams, seeing that foundation tbh

[steep tusk]

You can't support it properly with your current materials.

[drowsy crane]

This structure can easily work, even with the inclines continued.

[steady viper]

the middle of the roof probably goes higher than what corewood can support too, but who knows...

[steep tusk]

It does.

[spare ravine]

I didnt know materials were limited in height

I thought it was a score system thing

[steep tusk]

? Height is the primary thing they are limited by.

[rapid shale]

corewood made the roofs green

[spare ravine]

am genius

[drowsy crane]

You can make wood work for now if you're set up to do it, the limit is 8 of the longer poles, you should only need 7 at most with this incline.

[rapid shale]

would it work better if i used 26 degree roof pieces instead of 45?

[drowsy crane]

Most definitely.

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[rapid shale]

i'll just do that then, thanks a lot for the help

[spare ravine]

26 roof pieces are also easy to work with because you can stand on them

[rapid shale]

yeah its really annoying having to place ladders under and sliding off 45 pieces

[drowsy crane]

You will need to run poles from the ground up through your structure for proper support, so maybe consider the layout of the building with these poles in mind.

[spare ravine]

You can also mix and match roof pieces. It makes for a nice build

Anyway, lemme tell you. Its probably your first game or something, but you dont need to build giant warehouses yet

[rapid shale]

Yeah, i think i might have built a bit too big of a base, i just wanted to improve cause this is my base rn

[spare ravine]

I do similar houses when I start, and I just add segments if I need to have more space.

[gusty rampart]

Ohm. My brother and i are in the same world and would like to build a lil with creative mode. But for some reason he cant use the console. And i changed the starting setting to -console so he should be able to. Anybody know why he cant use it?

[frosty frost]

Only the person hosting can use the commands sadly

[gusty rampart]

I thought everyone can when changing the starting option?

[frosty frost]

Nope, the launch option was simply the only way you could access the console until CtA update 🙂

[gusty rampart]

Ah. Aw man. K. Thx

[last torrent]

where do i find pet rock

[young forum]

What can I build with in Ashlands that wont burn down?

[steep tusk]

Stone, Marble, Grausten, Flametal

[cold crane]

It like 1000m from center and 5-20 meters high. They can be in meadows bf swamps and mountains I think. I have only found them in bf. Takes patience. They look like stones but to big and smooth

[cold crane]

U can use the shield generators to protect wood structures

[iron drift]

It's genuinely so awesome
Gives your builds a lot more character and personality than just doing "another longhouse #3000"

Valheim is really awesome for letting you build cozy and pretty buildings that retain a lot of practicality

[true hare]

when mining flamemetal should i use elder power or modor?

[frosty frost]

That can help with carrying stuff, or you can use Elder power for the increased mining speed 🙂

[faint osprey]

very unlikely to find in swamps and mountains since swamps are very low and mountains are high best to look in the black forest or the meadows not to close to the shore but also not to far from it

[tired arrow]

sometimes you gotta play smarter, not harder

[steady viper]

I enrolled the help of a couple lox to take down a dverger outpost just recently 😏

[heavy nebula]

Do roots regen if the tap is still on them? do they recharge faster if they are lower or higher?

[steep tusk]

Yes.
And huh?

[compact heath]

Afaik they don't change recharge rate, its constant, they will have a certain amount stored, so you can extract faster once there is enough stored to fill all extractors on that root, once its dry it will take a while to store again if you leave empty extractors on there.

I would only leave 1 per root, except if you use a fresh root and want to grab the stored stuff relatively quickly, but once that is emptied remove all extractors and only leave one. - Does that make sense?

[spare ravine]

game doesnt have eitr syrup for pancakes. Unplayable

[junior condor]

You drain them full with the extractors, then remove the extractors once the Root is empty, wait 5-6 days I think to recharge fully, then drain it again

[true steeple]

It refills at the same speed while an extractor is on it

[junior condor]

Really? Is it not better to find 10 roots, Drain 1 root per day and rotate between them?

That way you get 25-40 sap per day

[true steeple]

If you don’t have 10 extractors rotating would be better

[junior condor]

4 is the sweet spot

[meager vale]

Find 10 roots. Drain all of them every time they fill. Come back in a few days and they're refilled.

[junior condor]

If you have 40 extractors you can definitely do that, like if your resource drop rate is 3 times you can do it

[meager vale]

You don't need. X3 rate to get a lot of extractors. Just go dismantle a bunch of towers. They're EVERYWHERE. There is so much Mistlands on the map.

[drowsy crane]

I just steal extractors from a Mistlands area that I don't go to often 😛

[meager vale]

I generally clear and map a fairly large portion of the the Mistlands in all 4 cardinals. Might not do a northern camp this playthrough and just wait for deep north to come out.

[zenith sleet]

Is there anyway to craft a maypole outside of midsummer event? On a 24/7 cross play server and we had a maypole pop up out of nowhere.

On this server we also had someone build an oven even though we haven't unlocked moder yet. The oven could be explained by porting new items in, but idk how a maypole could just appear?

[steady viper]

devcommands is the only way I know of: you enable them and the debug mode allows you to build anything without resources

[drowsy crane]

Ah, you may have a player who tampered with their computer's date/time to appear as if it's summer.

Or even their console if it's crossplay 😛

[meager vale]

All you need to do is change your date on your system

[grand glen]

the first time i ever see seeker baby outside of cave. this is bug?

[frosty frost]

They probably bugged through the wall/floor of an infested mine 🙂 and since the dungeons are just really high in the sky they fell down here

[grand glen]

wow

[tired root]

They can also spawn in Mistlands during night if the boss is defeated.

[frosty frost]

Ooooh, didnt know that one 😄
I never spent much time at night in mistlands, and even less after queen is dead

[tired root]

At some point they could definitely spawn during night in other biomes too, same as ticks. Now both are only Mistlands night spawns after the boss is defeated.

Ticks can also spawn with stars during night.

I usually don't spend time in Mistlands usually but sometimes I make the sap extraction trip between the places I have them and few times either ticks or babies approached.

Luckily no starred gjall for a while.

[tired root]

Although now that I think of, I don't remember when exactly that was changed.
Definitely before Ashlands, maybe during the Unity engine update before the biome update.

[queen beacon]

hi, i wanted to ask - can i somehow make grass grow again on these places i hoed?

[steep tusk]

Culitvator.

[queen beacon]

thank you✅

[sturdy epoch]

Hey all. Newbie here. Why does my dock keep losing health even tho all the structural integrety colors are green? if that makes sense.

[meager vale]

Water damage

[sturdy epoch]

ahh dang didn't know that was a thing. Any way to prevent other than a roof?

[meager vale]

Treated wood or use stone

[sturdy epoch]

very nice tysm. Don't have those yet.

[steep tusk]

Stone - Swamp
New Wood - Plains

[tired root]

Note that they decay only to 50% so they never break due to water/rain.

[sturdy epoch]

super reassuring to know thank you. Wish I didn't take the time to make a pretty 1x1 floor for my dock. That's a lot of fixing every day lol. Thank you!

[tired root]

There is also one device for protect your base from rain alltogether, but it's accessible much much later.

[sturdy epoch]

ooo okay I'll look out for it! I think I'm just going to progress a bit more. Might be wasting my time going this into detail.

[tired root]

Yeah, it is much much later so don't sorry about it yet!

[autumn sail]

Does anyone have experience with old worlds and newer updates? I'm making a base in deep north because it's the most peaceful biome atm, how will that impact when the 1.0 update arrives?

[steep tusk]

Everything in the DN that you have been within 300m of will not update with the new content.

Extremely not recommended.

[autumn sail]

Hmm, I'm at the most western edge of deep north right now. Might still work then if the generation is similar to ashlands

[tired root]

That's what I also did in my main world, went to as Western edge as possible to catch some Northern salmon, as that area probably will be under water if the generation indeed is similar to what it's in Ashlands.

[autumn sail]

So you think that might still work? And everything I explored will remain untouched? Don't have a reference for 300m radius but it doesn't seem like I'll ruin too much of the biome.

[tired root]

As the world generates the content (POIs like dungeons, boss altars, resource locations, etc.) in world around 300-400m radius of the player, meaning those areas will stay untouched* when new content is added to the game.
-# *Sidenote, as long as those areas are not inside or too close to the current placeholder biomes which will very likely get terrain changes when the update is there.

[steep tusk]

My genuine recommendation that I also follow is just starting over every major biome update.

[autumn sail]

Ahh ok, thanks

[coarse relic]

If you destroy naturally generated maypole do you uh get materials and can you place it despite time not being right

[tired root]

You cannot rebuild it until Midsummer eve (June-early July) except with console commands.

[coarse relic]

If it wasn't for my man joel

Thx

[steep tusk]

Or just enable hammer mode and you can build it regardless of season, then disable the mode.

[tired root]

That's possible? I haven't really used hammer mode ever before.

[steep tusk]

I know it works with debugmode, not sure about the normal hammer mode.

[tired root]

Hmm, I could check that soon.

[steady viper]

you still need to discover the recipes with just hammer mode, so unless it's midsummer, I don't think you can build it

[spare ravine]

Does poison stack when from different sources?

[frosty frost]

Poison never stacks, even from same source 🥲

[spare ravine]

mm... im trying to figure out a strategy for the queen that will work with me

[frosty frost]

Are you using melee?

[spare ravine]

I was thinking that if I am to hit once in a while, the jotun axe would work well enough, but the bilebomb seems to also do poison and might not be ideal

[surreal pagoda]

Mobs will only aggro non-"player base" build pieces if they can see (as in, get a direct line of sight to) a player or player base behind them and can't path around, right?

Planning a small outpost building inside the black forest and figured I would try to get away with not having perimeter walls or massive moats etc - just by not exposing anything that would cause aggro

[frosty frost]

You can see a spreadsheet of build pieces that are and are not attacked on sight in pinned message in #valheim-chat, its not only player base items and non player base items. But yeah, they will have to want to get to you to start breaking those that are not attacked on sight. 🙂

[surreal pagoda]

You say "get to you", but that includes "get to an attack on sight piece" too? Thanks for the tip about the pinned post, will check it

[frosty frost]

If they see it then perhaps, yes, not totally sure tho 🤔

[surreal pagoda]

Hmm. May be time for some experimentation then. Some fences around a chest or something and see if someone comes knocking

[frosty frost]

Just make sure its not enemies with ranged attacks 😄

[surreal pagoda]

Ah, yes true... greydwarf stone barrage,

Anyway, no eye level windows in the BF house. Can't have someone see me inside and come knocking!

[gusty rampart]

Hi. Me again. I just unlocked this monstrosity and saw in the wiki it deals massive damage. Does that mean itll destroy my buildings? And hurt me?

[static fiber]

Yes and yes

[frosty frost]

It will damage only stuff near to it 🙂 and the most potent dmg only directly above it

[gusty rampart]

So basically any building i make gets destroyed in a huge radius?

[static fiber]

No

Its pretty small

Its like,2 meters around

[frosty frost]

2,42m radius 🙂

[gusty rampart]

Ah. SO its still kinda safe. Got it. Thx a lot you guys

[tired root]

Yeah, and some building pieces are also immune to lightning damage, meaning they don't get damaged when Obliterator is activated.

[white slate]

what's the rarest trophy in game?

[frosty frost]

Possibly the rencid remains, since they are quite a rare mob in the first place

However they dont have the lowest drop rate, they have 10% and few trophies have 5%

Warlocks trophy could be another candidate, also somewhat rare and has 5% drop rate

Vile could also be considered

-# To be totally honest tho, the rarest trophy is always the one you are looking to acquire at the moment 😄

[steady viper]

nah, vile isn't that rare I'd say: I've got two and I only killed like 6 or 7 of them

sure, I lucked out, but you can usually find at least one vile per night and it's a 10% chance

stuff that spawns in the wild generally has better chance than stuff that spawns only in specific areas: fuling beserkers and golems have the same drop rate, but you can only find beserkers in raids and villages, while you can find plenty of golems on a mountain

so the fuling beserker trophy is somewhat rarer imo

[frosty frost]

Yeah, i probably fell victim to the "never finding what you are looking for" thing 🙂 viles just avoid me

[tacit breach]

Judging by ribs, I killed around 13 vile. Still not the worst. I put golem at being theworst.

[frosty frost]

At least golems are somewhat plentifull 😄

[steady viper]

yeah, I also managed to fill more than half of an iron chest with crystal stacks before finding one golem trophy

[frosty frost]

Iirc i had to kill around 50 to get a trophy one time 😄

[steady viper]

at least golems have good drops for building, as in viles just give you stuff you can't really make much use of (I'm already full of bear pelts and rotten meat is useless)

(and I'm not gonna use cooked bear meat in the plains tbh)

[frosty frost]

The vile armor and weapons are quite good tho 🤔

[steady viper]

I'm pretty fond of the movement boost of the fenris set tbh

I crafted the vile set for the sake of having it just in case, but I've never put it on once

[frosty frost]

Can understand that 😄

[white slate]

any idea how much 2 star greydwarf brute hits?

am i safe to take 1 hit with 100hp?

[white slate]

i left it alone, im not wearing any shield atm. better not risk it i guess

not like it has anything amazing to drop for me anyway

[lament wind]

Yo, guys i went to 5 different swamps and there was not a single one crypt am i tripping ?

[tacit breach]

Nope. Small narrow swamps are often like that.

The rounder they are, the better.

[latent siren]

Hi, how do you get rid of the fog when digging for ores?

[tacit breach]

Camp fires help. Plus if your in the black forest, Grey dwarves are afraid of fire.

[latent siren]

oh it worked, ty!

[tacit breach]

Your welcome.

[marble sparrow]

hey, i already have the stuff i would need for the finewood bow and the cultivator but i dont have the blooprint, what am i doing wrong?

[frosty frost]

What items do you have? 😄

[marble sparrow]

the finewood, normal wood and the leather necesary

[frosty frost]

Ah, you need core wood, not normal wood 🙂

[marble sparrow]

ah thanks

how do i get that?

[frosty frost]

From pine trees in black forest 🙂

[marble sparrow]

omg thank you :)

[surreal pagoda]

Sometimes you get the "frosty" look on trees in meadows etc when it reaches a certain elevation and you might have a patch that on the map says "mountains" but there's no snow and nowhere that the "Mountains" popup actually appears when going there (like pic).

Can wolves etc still spawn there?

[drowsy crane]

No they won't 👍

[white slate]

does tablet always show closest boss?

my elder is SOOO far away, sheesh

[frosty frost]

Yep

[meager vale]

I feel that. My moder is deep into the mists.

[steady viper]

my vegvisir decided to switch directions just once, and it drove me crazy since it was a nomap run...

at least you have the map that tells you you're still on the right track 😂

[pseudo ledge]

hello, looking for a little assistance, cant host a dedi server with crossplay enabled and join it within the same network, it loses the connection to playfab and kicks everyone after a few minutes, i've searched about and cant really find anything which helps

works fine just on steam but some friends wanted to join via game pass

[atomic panther]

This is gonna sound stupid, but I haven't played in like 2 years. How do I invite a friend to the game?

[frosty frost]

Try through steam friends list 🙂

[atomic panther]

I figured it out. I have to press open server when selecting a world

[frosty frost]

Well... Yes... That would be the first pre-requisite

[coarse relic]

Yo to all the valheim veterans 😭 I'm still relatively new to the game haven't got past bronze age and restarted lil 3-4 times each getting better. But one question remained. I often found myself wasting bronze and what should i prioritise? 😭😭

[frosty frost]

Axe, cultivator, fermenter, crafting station upgrades 🙂

[coarse relic]

I did get all that so what im getting at ia that i go

BRUH forest raid

[frosty frost]

Weapon would be good next 🙂 after that you can pretty much bet whatever you want

[coarse relic]

Aight forest rests again

[coarse relic]

Let me summarise real quick my man

[tired root]

Buckler is pretty good defensive upgrade, or optionally atgeir.

[coarse relic]

Level 3 forge level 4 crafting station level 2 cultivator buckler lvl1 axe lvl3 mace and couple of nails alone with um cauldron and mead ketill and I'll place the uh fermenter

Question was more of a uh should i even bother getting pickaxe? Getting atgeir? Along with upgrading them and which one of the trinkets should i chose from

[coarse relic]

Sticking with paws 🔥

I got 50 bronze on me rn

[frosty frost]

I would get at least 80 nails and thats pretty much everything you need, you can get atgeir if you want to try different fighting style, you can but dont have to get a pickaxe its not necessary to progression.

[coarse relic]

Could craft 6 more

[frosty frost]

Upgrading the cultivator and buckler would also be good

[tired root]

Most people skip bronze pickaxe, the next pickaxe is more important.

[frosty frost]

you might want to also upgrade the axe if you decide to skip iron one, as that one is also not needed for progression

[coarse relic]

Thing is that i was playing on older version of valheim and i restarted my progress cus update came out. Allowing me to completely skip bronze armor Change play style n stuff previously i had atgeir i know what it is. And honestly it's pretty good but theen I'll have mace atgeir aand paws too

Don't wanna do the same mistake as last time, wasting recourses on weapons I won't use

[coarse relic]

Yes i was thinking same

[frosty frost]

Having 3 different dedicated weapons is already more than enough imo 😄 so no need for more

[coarse relic]

Yeap last play trough i crafted every bronze weapon expert spear 😭

[drowsy crane]

That's awesome, but yeah pretty tasking

[coarse relic]

I even skipped Stagbreaker 😭

[tired root]

Mace and bear claws is pretty good combo I'd say, covering slash and blunt. Then you probably want have pierce weapon too, which bow can fill.

[coarse relic]

Yeah it was a good way to waste bronze. Had to go back in black forest 3 times for it

[coarse relic]

Mhmm

[drowsy crane]

At least you could make an awesome weapon display

[coarse relic]

Nnnot exactly 😭 i didn't go too far from Brone age

Bronze age*

[drowsy crane]

Could being the keyword 😛

[coarse relic]

If i didn't abandon it, sure

One question still remains. Heart of the forest or uh bronze pendant

[frosty frost]

Do you like hp or stamina regen better? 😄

[drowsy crane]

I prefer heart of the forest, stamina gets a break with eikthyr power and combat timing.

[coarse relic]

Really really really depends on what im facing and the situation

[coarse relic]

True

18 bronze left dammmm

Do i need bronze in future?? I crafted everything i could out of it (placeable stuff)
Cartography table being the exception

[frosty frost]

A bit, but not much

[drowsy crane]

Yes you do, but there's other methods to acquire it, and it gets much easier.

[coarse relic]

Ayyy

Alright, maxed mace axe cultivator, buckler and crafter heart of the forest placed fermenter and lastly 120 nails ready for upcoming adventures

Ty guys

[steep tusk]

Bronze Armor my beloved.

[lunar dragon]

Hi. Could anyone help me find or make a simple mod to replace all insect-like creatures in the game?

My girlfriend has a phobia of insects.

The mod probably just needs to change the look of the creatures, nothing else (i think)

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[coarse relic]

Too much reduced movement speed for such a little difference in my opinion

Btw can you cook anything from bear meat? Part from obvious coocked bear meat?

[tired root]

There are no recipes for bear meat currently, that might change after 1.0 update.

[edgy light]

help

[junior turret]

Hi guys i have a little problem with game when i press e to sleep or to sit it looks like it cancels it

i press e to sleep and it cancels animations

what do i do

[edgy light]

damnit the tar shitters are after me too

the tar is my best friend i got away

[tired root]

Growths are good distraction as they are not allied with other mobs in plains. So use that for your benefit when possible.

[thorn spire]

I always kite lox into tar pits to clear out the growths for me, or at least soften them up.

[tacit breach]

Lox, entire fuling villages when close enough. very useful miserable creatures

[frosty frost]

And you can get a pocket version of them now

[tacit breach]

Yep. My wife loves them.

[meager vale]

Having some issues with boar farm. My mating pair won't eat or breed when they're in their respective spots. When I give them an extra half a foundation block to stand on they start the process. Only problem is when I use the extra half a block it allows the babies to sneak in front of the parents therefore the babies don't fall down the hole. What am I doing wrong?

[tacit breach]

Did you put down a plank behind the parents so the babies can't step past?

[steep tusk]

Wrong? I would say you forcing boars to live in a box instead of having room to walk around. 😭

[meager vale]

ill try it

[tacit breach]

Such a soft heart for digital... pixels.

[spare ravine]

I feel like heavy armor should do a bit more than just give extra defense

Stuff like faster stun recovery, resistance to knockback, perhaps more "poise damage" or whatever its called in this game.

also I was in the wrong channel... oh well

[meager vale]

Two boars must sacrifice their freedom in order for the lives of many boars to enjoy a short freedom in my basement.

[spark sigil]

Please help me. How can I faster my eitr regen? I'm in Ashland and I play solo. Now in full Embla Set. In theory it's 130% eitr regen. But it's very slow. It's like stamina with no other buff except the rested bonus. If the trinket is also active, +25% is a little better. But it's still slow. Will my eitr regeneration be faster as my magic skills increase? I don't think this was optimized for single player. Today I fight with a Fallen Valkyrie, 2 one-star Charred Warriors a Charred Marksman and Asksvin at the same time. Even if you run away from them and shoot them you not faster enough. They'll still kill you. The eitr food not give you HP. And because you die your stats so low.

[frosty frost]

I found the eitr regen more than fast enough to run around ashlands 🤔 and that was before trinkets and i didnt use eitr mead either.
And your bubble shield acts as your effective hp when playing mage, so i usually do 2 eitr and 1 stam food

[gritty dagger]

surely you have rested bonus yeah? hopefully that's obvious. and if you can get your hands on the ashlands magic trinket, that helps a lot. needs a valk head and other stuff

[frosty frost]

Yeah rested bonus is really important

[spark sigil]

I use 2 eitr and one hp food. This is not kill me one shot. Yes I have rested bonus all time. I don't have valk head right now. But solo It's very very challenge.

[frosty frost]

You really dont need the hp food if you use bubble shield, and that extra stamina you would have with stam food will mean you can run away or manuver way more easily. Also alows you to dodge untill you regen the eitr

[spark sigil]

If you play solo the eitr regen very important for fight back. But right now I shoot some with my frost staff, run try to not dead and shoot again. The regen is very slow for fight around 5 enemy.

[gritty dagger]

higher skill levels will kind of help, you kill enemies faster and require slightly less eitr per cast.

might lower the death penalty if you're afraid to lose skill points on death, and level up your elemental magic a bit on TWIG

[spark sigil]

I don't need a lot of stamina because I don't want to run away, I just want to run so I don't get hit. However, since I'm fighting a lot of enemies at once, I put on my shield bubble but it breaks right away and my HP goes down because I'm without a shield. In the meantime, I run away because I don't have enough eitr to attack.

Yes, I think it's easier with higher skills. But it doesn't really improve because you get killed.

[gritty dagger]

solo mage isn't easy. you are going to have situations where you gotta dodge roll to survive now and then, otherwise, gotta find ways to really keep your distance from enemies. more stamina might help, higher levels will help. can't be getting hit period

[frosty frost]

And if you get hit you should have shield on, when it breaks immediatly disengage enemy and recast it

[gritty dagger]

always jump cast with shield too, helps separate you from enemies while doing the cast animation

[frosty frost]

And tbh mage is probably the easiest playstyle to use, melee was lot harder in ashlands from my experience

[gritty dagger]

hah maybe, i felt the opposite 😄

i mean mage was fine, i just really enjoy/excell in melee i feel

[spark sigil]

Yes, I do it too, as soon as my shield breaks I immediately reload it. Since I attack back, unfortunately this doesn't work due to the slow eitr regeneration, I have to wait until I have 60 eitr. I also use the dodge roll and the jump.

[frosty frost]

Oh melee was way more fun for me 😄 but the mage was just, easier...

[gritty dagger]

def takes more time to learn enemy moves with melee

[frosty frost]

Yeah, with mage you just keep distance and spam fireball 😄

[steep tusk]

Solo mage is easy.
Frost staff is not.
Switch to fire staff and your life will improve.

[gritty dagger]

frost staff is clutch for askvin/warriors in low/single encounters tho, i love it

[frosty frost]

Yeah for single or just two enemies together i used frost staff, it was just faster, but for more than that definetly ember staff 🙂

[gritty dagger]

btw, your name inspired me to attempt (and succeed, several times) to punch drakes when i did my fist playthrough last go. most enjoyable

[frosty frost]

Nice! 👊

[steep tusk]

Tameable Drakes when? 😏

[steep tusk]

Did you:

F5
devcommands
debugmode

?

[smoky acorn]

You'll need to enter the devcommands context in order to be able to use debugmode. A couple of additional notes:

• This will only work in the devcommands context of a single-player game or as the creator of an in-game server. It will not work connected to a Dedicated Server.
• Your character profile will be marked as a cheater in its internal stats.

[remote tangle]

(please redirect me if this isn't the right channel)

how do people get the pics of their maps without all the clouds? they look very clear and precise compared to what I see in game

was looking at pics of seeds, I'm guessing those pics are from a different place than just hitting M?

[smoky acorn]

Some will be using this 3rd-party webapp: https://valheim-map.world/

[karmic agate]

in my own world struggling a lot to find anything meaningful in the black forest, any tips for this?

[molten mirage]

what's your gear atm?

ppl usually go to black forest to progress to copper gear, get carrot for carrot stew and bronze nail for building a usable ship

and the obvious elder boss fight

[karmic agate]

my gear is some troll and bear stuff, flint spear

i went into valheim blind, not checking any guides

[gusty onyx]

are the new creatures only available in a new world?

I've been looking around new unexplored areas in a current one and not found a single one

[tacit breach]

They should be in any unexplored area on any world

[tired root]

New creatures can spawn in any areas, even explored ones. In case you want to know (spoiler head), they are found in ||black forest|| and ||plains during night||.

[tranquil marsh]

I have a world from about 5 or 6 months ago, do I need to create a new world to experience the new stuff in the new updates or no?

[true steeple]

You don’t need a new world

[tranquil marsh]

Awesome, thank you

[tired root]

Like Blobicycake said, but note that any pre explored areas before any content update will not get the new content, so if you go exploring current placeholder Deep North it will not get the content correctly.
If you leave the DN area mostly unexplored it will get the new content normally when the update is added.

[tranquil marsh]

What about the new creatures added into existing biomes the last couple updates?

[tired root]

New creatures spawning is not prevented by exploring areas, so already explored areas will get them too when their spawn conditions are met.

[tranquil marsh]

Awesome, thank you

[brittle mauve]

i beat moder yesterday and now realised from my clip that she dropped something else apart from the trophy, i went back to exactly where i killed her and nothing there, probably despawned, am i gonna have to beat her again, or can i mabe cheat the drops in somehow?

some blue orbs idk

[frosty frost]

You can spawn the drops using commands

[frosty frost]

Go to settings and press "enable console" in gameplay tab, then using F5 open console and type devcommands, that should then show :true next to it and after that type in spawn DragonTear 10 since that is the number you would get from the kill 🙂

[brittle mauve]

thank you!

[solemn harness]

what's the id for the embla hood?

thsnk!

[naive lichen]

So im playing valheim with 2 other friends. One of them keeps disconnecting (the other one doesnt). His character freezes from our point of view and we freeze for him ~0.5-5 minutes after he joins. We already tried a few solutions like disabling crossplay or checking if valheim is blocked by the firewall (it never was). Are there any other solutions? Help

[restive ore]

does it happen all the time, or just in patches of time

[frosty frost]

Rafts are the best floating bridges you can ask for 😄

[white slate]

does traders have some specific order how far they are from spawn or something?

is haldor always closest one?

[frosty frost]

Not really, Haldor spawns from 1500m out, Hildir between 3000m and 5100m and Bog Witch between 3000 and 8000

[tired root]

In post-Mistlands world gen, Bog Witch is between 3000 and 6000 tho. Older worlds 3000 and 8000 is correct.

[sturdy epoch]

Anyone know/ have suggestions on how to smoothly blend this gap? It's the single upside down V piece, 45° that I'm standing on. Tying into a normal 45° roof.

view from the inside. Not a huge deal but my OCD no likey

[white slate]

better to ask #building-tips

[sturdy epoch]

ahh ty

[merry shale]

is there a way to spawn viles with commands? i cant find it in the list

im doing like spawn v and only volture pops up

[tired root]

Spawn Unbjorn.

[merry shale]

thank you 🙏

[lunar blaze]

does anyone have a video of house building help? i found some but im still confused. i just wanna make a 2 floor house, thats pretty much it. i tried using poles and stuff for support but im definitely doing it wrong cuz it doesnt work

[tired root]

What materials you are using?

[lunar blaze]

just wood

[tired root]

That's the thing, you cannot build too high with just wood.

Corewood would be bit better for supporting higher buildings.

[lunar blaze]

im still early in the game so i guess ill make more progress first then. never seen corewood

[tired root]

In meadows still?

You get corewood when you cut pines in Black forest.

[lunar blaze]

idk exactly what/where the biomes are. i just walk around in each direction and hope for the best lmao

i assume blackforest is where the rock throwers are

[tired root]

Yes, greydwarves. They're like big bros of greylings.

[lunar blaze]

ok bet ill get wood there then

[tired root]

There are firs and pines (different looking trees compared to meadows), pines drop both wood and corewood.

But also tougher mobs, so be aware.

[lunar blaze]

bet thank you time to grind

[merry shale]

is there a way to unlock every recipe through commands

[tired root]

Corewood allows better support but has also some limits, in next biome after Black forest you'll unlock better supporting building material and also building with stone.

[tired root]

Nocost kinda, enabling it shows every craftable item in your crafting menu.

[merry shale]

it wont let me craft it for free right?

[tired root]

It allows crafting for free too.

[merry shale]

if possible i just want all recipes but not for free

ah, sucks then but its fine i guess, thank you

[tired root]

I don't remember just now.

But having all materials in your inventory will be consumed when you craft items even with the command enabled.

[merry shale]

ill look in the wiki, maybe ill fiind something, thanks for the help tho

[tired root]

Yeah, wiki should have that covered if that existed what you're looking for.

[frosty frost]

setkey AllPiecesUnlocked and setkey AllRecipesUnlocked for build pieces and crafting recipes respectively 🙂

[barren coral]

is it safe for me, who hasn't defeated bonemass yet but has enough frost potions, (and lots of tamed wolves) to venture into the mountains and gather some obsidian before facing bonemass?

[frosty frost]

Absolutely, you would go to mountains with gear you have for bonemass anyway 😄

Tho "safe" really depends on what you do 😄

[barren coral]

there is a mountain close to my main base that i want to explore, and maybe get some rescources from if there are any, its a small sized mountain and my quick trip showed that there isn't that much of note

i'll be going with 5 doggies of my own

[merry shale]

thank you 🙏 the wiki didnt even have this

[frosty frost]

It does 😉
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Global_Keys

[merry shale]

oh, i only looked in dev commands, my bad i guess

[frosty frost]

No worries 😄 it takes a bit of practice to find everything you need

[tired root]

Lol I always forget global keys.

[frosty frost]

There is lots of useful stuff there 😄

[spark sigil]

I have a question. What is the most efficient way to mine the most Flametal ore before it sinks. I was thinking the Fenris Set because it gives movement speed. 3 stamina food. And the queen's strength. And I'm starting from the top. I don't know if there's more ore up there or down there.

[spring radish]

hi, how do I use bear hide

[frosty frost]

Elder power and fully upgraded blackmetal pickaxe 🙂

[spark sigil]

You can make a rug and a bear set out of it.

[spring radish]

do I need to have an upgraded workbench?

[frosty frost]

No, but you need the bear trophy

[spark sigil]

Thanks 🙂 Does it make a difference whether I start mining from the bottom or the top?

[frosty frost]

If you start from bottom you might have a hard time getting up 😄 so i would suggest from top

[spark sigil]

You are right 😆

I know right there are no clothes you can buy that would help you with cooking skill? Like a dress and hat with farming skill

[frosty frost]

Nope, only farming skill has clothes that boost it 🙂

[spark sigil]

okay, thanks 🙂

[lunar blaze]

so do parries not block damage fully? im using a wooden shield and i swear most of the time im perfectly blocking and still get chunked

most games you parry and take no damage but i assume its not the same here?

[tacit breach]

You sure your parrying and not just blocking?

[thorn spire]

It doesn't necessarily work that way. A parry multiplies your block armor, further reducing damage.

[spare ravine]

You cant parry everything. If a hit is too powerful compared to your health, you wont parry.

[kindred harbor]

what does this option do ? i can't notice any difference between it being on or off

[remote tangle]

do all of the trinkets make a flash when they activate?
I've only tried fins of destiny, need to avoid flashing so I wanted to ask here before making them

[spare ravine]

They do

[remote tangle]

oh man

[spare ravine]

The other trinkets flashes way less often tho

[remote tangle]

yea I have to avoid the flashes :(
do the flashes show when other players are using trinkets? or is it just for the user?

[spare ravine]

I dont know about other players. Sorry

[remote tangle]

no worries

[spare ravine]

Is it because of a condition?

[remote tangle]

yeah

complex chronic migraine syndrome + visual snow syndrome

they're certainly not the worst flashes ever and I'm very grateful that the devs have added accessibility features for flashing, most games don't seem to

[spare ravine]

Maybe put that into suggestions. About the trinket flashes.

[remote tangle]

I did yee

I'll ask my friends to see if the flashes show for each other so my eyeballs are safe lol
the worst has actually been when one of my friends summoned 3 eikthyrs at once and I got flashbanged by lightning in my face
but I didn't add that to the suggestions
eikthyr lightning could improve some, especially in melee if you're ...not a great gamer and take a lightning bolt to the face lmao

[junior condor]

Did not realize that small flashing can actually affect people, good thing you spoke about it

[remote tangle]

Yee photosensitivity has a lot of variations, the most well known of course is photosensitive seizures but there are a lot more reactions people can have. and it's not always from strobe lights
flickering, single flashes, rapidly changing colors, vivid patterns/colours, sharp contrast, bright lights

[junior condor]

That's a lot

[remote tangle]

human brains are wild

tldr if I see strobe lights especially, or rapidly changing colours I'll go instantly colourblind, lose ability to talk, loose coordination, get nauseous n feverish and get a wicked migraine for 1-4 days
(trinkets aren't like that thankfully)
photosensitivity can have a lot of effects

...that's probably tmi
i've never found a short way to say why I have to avoid flashing lol
cuz I don't wanna be untruthful and just say seizures

[tacit breach]

I saw you say you were photo sensitive... a few days ago? So I googled it. A lot of reading.

[clever birch]

To me, that sounds like a high functioning seizure.
I wouldn't blame you for calling it a seizure when the only nasty symptom missing is blacking out.

[sinful hatch]

My game always crash when I alt+tab, anyway to fix?

[remote tangle]

ty I'll definitely look into that, there are other symptoms too but i didn't wanna give an avalanche lol

[clever birch]

I dont think its an official term, but it fits the pattern of high functioning autism/alcoholism etc

[remote tangle]

I have read a bit about complex partial seizures, that might be the version you mean(?)

[lament wind]

Hi, does anyone know how long it takes to max out skills 1-100 using archery target (hits/realteam/xp-per-hit) ?

[frosty frost]

Roughly three times as long as with normal enemies 🙂 the i never even tried to get to the precise amount of time

[ornate finch]

Nvidia graphic card? If Nvidia, re-install graphic drivers via Nvidia app (select custom install and clean instll options during installation, and don't optimise the game via Nvidia app after).

[quartz pier]

how do i get the happy rock ?

[tired root]

You need to find special pickable rock on ground, at least 1000m distance from center, best places to find it is around meadows or black forest (technically also can be found in swamps and mountains but altitude requirement makes it harder to be found in those biomes).

[quartz pier]

oh ok thanks

[lament wind]

Thats confirmed info? u get more xp per hitting enemies than "dead objects"

[frosty frost]

The Target specifically gives you third of the XP the enemies do, yes.

[tired root]

You can hit TWIG too for full amount of XP but no retrieval of arrows.

[lament wind]

hm okay okay, thanks guys

[junior condor]

Hey guys quick question, how do the viles in the plains spawn at night? For 3 nights I have been running around in the Plains and only found 1 vile. Will killing the other creatures help?

[frosty frost]

No, each creature has separate mob cap afaik, so just keep running around 😄

[restive ore]

They spawn around the same place every time apparently so keep checking in places you've already found some

[frosty frost]

They can, they dont have to 🙂 but yeah, if they spawned there before there is a good chance they will spawn around the same area again in the future

[lament wind]

Okay tried it out on a twig and target its almost 3,5x faster

[tired root]

Yeah, the benefit of the target is retrievable arrows, but then again wooden arrows are cheap.

[thorn spire]

can confirm this. I'm lucky to have a spawn right near Hildir's camp, so I've set up a blind nearby. Already taken down two viles in about six nights.

[grim island]

Uh, has anyone had an issue where the boss health doesn't go down no matter how many times you hit it? I uninstalled mods but problem still persists... Is there a way to force end the encounter?

[merry shale]

killall command kills all entities except players nearby

[clever birch]

If you are hitting bonemass with a crude bow and wood arrows, it will out regenerate your damage output

[edgy arrow]

Why do Greyling type enemies spwn here?

Is there any way to prevent enemy spawning in certain areas?

[teal prism]

Assuming the 45 degree roof pieces are for a workbench it looks like your garden is larger than the spawn suppression radius of the bench.

There are more than a handful of placeable items with the spawn suppression effect, search "valheim player base" and you'll find a list of them

[edgy arrow]

Yes, on that small roof with an angle of inclination there are work tables for cultivation.

I will try to put torches on the ground

[teal prism]

Also, you can judge exctly how much area will be and/or currently is supressed by the white dotted line visible while you are in the build menu.

[edgy arrow]

Ohh, so the white dotted area is the NO enemy spawn zone?

[dusk monolith]

can anyone help me and give me some items im new :))

[edgy arrow]

The best way is to explore and explore 🤗

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂 or more accurately, that is the crafting area, which is the same size as the spawnproof area.

[edgy arrow]

Very important information for me (I only have to kill 2 bosses to "finish" the game) 🤣

[carmine wave]

Does anyone know if there is a way to remove/reduce the dust effect from building without using mods?

[frosty frost]

Try messing with the stuff on bottom of graphic settings in game, other than that i am afraid you cant do much

[restive ore]

Don't think so, only the no build dust mod does

[carmine wave]

Might be a nice accessibility feature for a future update ig

[thin flame]

I made a purchase in the merch store over a week ago, but still haven't received any update. What is the waiting time for a mug?

[spare ravine]

thats a big farming section

[white slate]

if i raise ground first can i then dig deeper than 8m?

[steady viper]

build height in both directions (up and down) is fixed: each coordinate has a default height value and you can only go +8/-8 from that value

[naive lichen]

it just patched

[kindred harbor]

+8 -16 = -8; 0 - 8 = -8

[tawdry lagoon]

I keep loosing items - is there any way to use anything to locate it? I have lost a cultivator and a headtorch. This seems to be related to a death.

[shut dove]

https://medal.tv/games/valheim/clips/lobjtCDJ9RANktPTz?invite=cr-MSxTOWIsNDMwOTY4NjA5 has anyone seen something like this this askvin wont die and it gives me skills even hitting it

[sudden copper]

im trying to progress, and when im holding hammer im not seeing an option to build wood walls + floors. have they been locked or recipe changed? I have wood and stone

[thorn spire]

need to be in range of a workbench.

[sudden copper]

i thought workbench only works if it's covered

but ok for the help ty i will try

[thorn spire]

you can access the workbench to repair stuff or build stuff if it's covered.

you just need one nearby to build stuff.

[sudden copper]

sweet, it works. tyvm for the help

[thorn spire]

any time.

[round barn]

I got a question can xbox players join the servers that are in the discord? If so can they join the modded ones too?

If not that sucks

Wish you could just join servers in a browser and a mod menu on the game that would be dopeeeeeee

I just started playing so I dont know much but yeahh

[steep tusk]

Starts typing answer.
Sees question posted across multiple channels.
Deletes answer.

[round barn]

Huh

[spare ravine]

Game is crossplay but the owner of a server must have the option enabled. I think its enabled by default.

[round barn]

Oh cool

Bet and thanks

[spare ravine]

Its allegedly going to be crossplay with playstation too when they get the game

[round barn]

Ima check it out soon after im done playing solo

[round barn]

For suggestions what is the recycle symble for?

What dose it mean

[steep tusk]

Already been suggested.

[round barn]

Ahh okk but I got two in one kinda but yeah

[steep tusk]

Been out for many years. Odds of "new" ideas are slim at this point but always feel free to post.

[marble pagoda]

Are you on a server? this is a desync issue in my experience
unhinged character name

[summer sky]

how do I find the seed for my single player world?

[marble pagoda]

should be shown on the same line as the world name when you select between worlds.

[past violet]

In the Mistlands biome, there must be another type of point of interest besides the one with the NPCs right? (i'm trying not to meta-game and use a wiki but tempted to now)

I've been through two huge areas and cannot for the life of me seem to find whatever progresses me to the boss or a higher tier of equipment lol

Am I doing something wrong or simply unlucky stumbling apon something?

[steep tusk]

Infested Mines is the dungeon of the Mistlands.

You'll either find staircases leading up to them, or you will find them in the basement of abandoned dverger towers.

[marble pagoda]

some black marble structures have Dvergr and some have bugs. Both contain important materials for progressing and crafting the next tier of equipment

[past violet]

Ah ok, thanks - I'll keep searching

Damn the radius of this wisp light thing feels absolutely revolting though

[whole grail]

Is it sometimes normal for Silver veins to spawn under the mineable ground limit?

[steep tusk]

What is and is not normal when it is all random? 👀

[whole grail]

I've been duped. It was skeletal remains inside of the rock that i somehow missed

[steep tusk]

Looking for silver and finding bones is so depressing 🙁

[whole grail]

Conveniently forgot that it searches for hidden treasures. and not just silver.

[turbid sentinel]

I found 2 silver veins running on top of each other, netting me 140 silver, quite happy with that score!

[restive ore]

enough for 1 upgraded silver sword

why did they make it so expensive 🙏🙏🙏

[cedar lodge]

bc it's so powerful, slash being the most versatile damage source and spirit helping with the undead even in later biomes!

arguably the most versatile, in the meaning very few mobs are specifically resistant to slash

[pure mango]

The dungeons are relatively common but you miss them easily. The up staircase ones have 3 spikey rocks above them, plus lamps in front which cut through the mist. If you find 3 seekers they are probably guarding a dungeon nearby.

[turbid sentinel]

i went for the frostner its quite a nice

[gusty onyx]

did the damage at the different combat settings change?

[tired root]

Damage by enemies increase and damage by players decrease.

[gusty onyx]

I know that, but was the % changed from the initial values when that option was added?

[tired root]

Iirc hard enemies deal 1,5x damage and very hard 2x.

[gusty onyx]

I had not played in a while and it feels like I'm taking a lot more damage now than I used to

[ornate brook]

are you wearing bear armor/vile armor

[gusty onyx]

no

didn't change my gear really

I wonder if the elemental damage taken is not reduced?

took a hit from a Gjall and almost died

on the very easy setting I don't seem to remember needing resist mead much

[thorn spire]

are you wearing a feather cape?

[gusty onyx]

yes and I did so before as well

as I said, same gear as before, nothing changed

[thorn spire]

In a somewhat recent update, fire weakness was added to the feather cape.

[gusty onyx]

oh... great...

maybe I didn't play with that before then

[thorn spire]

good news is that chugging barley wine overrides the weakness.

Just gotta drink more, my friend 😉

[gusty onyx]

more stuff to carry reducing inventory space and carry capacity...

[thorn spire]

I hear ya. With all the bog witch potions I want to carry around, I'd have one row of inventory left to carry stuff.

[gusty onyx]

yeah I got tired of all the back and forth due to the limitations so stopped playing

probably have to find a mod

already modded the wisp lights as the mist drove me insane

[steep tusk]

Well it is the Mistlands.

[edgy arrow]

Hello again, for example, do the standing torches need to be lit to serve as a "NO spawn zone" or does building them do the trick?

[obtuse lily]

how do i heal

[solemn osprey]

Eat food

[obtuse lily]

what does left system button mean

im lost

[tired root]

Not sure what system you mean.

[obtuse lily]

its a button apparently

idk what it is

[woeful star]

Is it not just left click?

[obtuse lily]

no

[woeful star]

If you can't find it, you can rebind it

[steady viper]

yes, even if they're unlit they count as "base structure" that disallows the spawning of mobs

[rough pelican]

*Edit: I might have been using the wrong locator...double checking

Ahoy! I am looking for the bog witch on an older private server. I have looked up my seed and found the locations of the bog witch and have verified that she is NOT spawning where she should be.

I'm pretty sure my World Version is out of date, but im not sure where i can update that or if i even can? So far ive been finding Dedicated server info, but not so much for a private server.

Any help in the right direction would be awesome!

[tired root]

Iirc you can add your world file in the world generator site to get exact locations of every POI, as updates have most likely messed them up.

[steady viper]

I've heard world generation and POIs placements change/shift it every major update to the game. That being the case, if you explored near those areas it's even more likely things won't be there if you played before that content was even out

[tired root]

Click the blue button next to the spot where you normally write the seed and follow the instructions.

[rough pelican]

yes yes! i JUST saw that after i posted >.> i now have a new lead!

[tired root]

It requires both the FWL and DB files at the same time.

[rough pelican]

yarrrr im on it

thank you guys very much! im am hoping i will finally see her

[tired arrow]

ey

[humble ore]

Yo did they patch the afk boar farms I can’t get them to eat thru the wall

[rough pelican]

We did it folks!

[humble ore]

Nice first time?

[rough pelican]

just on my super old server. been looking for her foreeeeever

i caved and had to look her up properly

[humble ore]

Nice haha I’m in the middle of trying to get automated forms set up, but it seems like they’ve patched everything or maybe I’m just doing everything wrong haha

Farms*

[rough pelican]

i know it takes some tweeking to get the farm setups to work right. im not a good breeder myself

[humble ore]

I built it the way they did online but the boar won’t eat thru the wall so I made it slightly bigger and have to push the baby’s out manually

It works but not as well as I would like but I can do the same with the wolfs the lox i still don’t know what to do i built a whole set up for them that I can change as i need

[steep tusk]

I hope they patch out all cruelty breeders so people can be nice to their animals 😭

[hollow ore]

Just followed a tutorial on how to build a greydwarf farm... dug a hole and trapped 3 enemies but more are still spawning... Did they patch this in multiplayer?

[marble pagoda]

you mean i should stop breeding 400 chickens at once on the side of a mountain?

[hollow ore]

no? Im just asking why it doesnt work. have they patched farms or cant you simply create farms in multiplayer

[marble pagoda]

not addressed to you lol

[hollow ore]

aha sorry haha

i thought about it lol

[marble pagoda]

you might've trapped the greydwarves outside the detection radius of the spawner, or they didn't originate from the spawner - try killing them and trapping the next 3 to show up

[hollow ore]

it was pretty near, ill try again someday 😂 they destroyed the nest so I ragebaited 😅

[hoary breach]

Hey guys! I've got a problem with my dedicated server

[steep tusk]

#dedicated-server

[hoary breach]

Ah, thank you!

[steep tusk]

👍💛

[sturdy epoch]

Hey weird question all,

I'm a noobish newer player and I've found 2 leviathins who did their roar despawn after the first friggin hit both times and have only got 9 chitin lol. I refuse to use the world generator or to use console commands but I really don't wanna hunt these things for EIGHTY whole chitin to max out abyssal daggers. Anyone have a world I can hop in and trade them or something for my other 71 needed chitin?? lolol

[steep tusk]

How is us spawning chitin and handing it to you any different from you just spawning it yourself?

[steady viper]

you're bound to sail a lot in the future anyway, and you'll literally swim in chitin... if you're willing to trade for it, you might as well just look up where your leviathans are

or just spawn them in, yeah

[sturdy epoch]

I didn't mean spawn in chitin @steep tusk I meant more like trade for some you already had, in case someone was like me and didn't like spawning.

But okay no problem I'll just keep sailing around then thanks @steady viper

[steep tusk]

How do you know the person trading you didn't just spawn it?

[sturdy epoch]

I don't lol it's no biggie nvm

[steep tusk]

👍

[steady viper]

once I crafted the harpoon I genuinely stopped caring about leviathans entirely

[static fiber]

After BF you just ignore Leviathans

[steady viper]

and even then, I think I used it once, so even the harpoon is kind of wasted on me

it works as a cool decoration on my wall, though, that's for sure

[static fiber]

Put harpoon in a fish

[steep tusk]

Likely they expand what chitin is used for in 1.0 tbh.

[sturdy epoch]

ahh okay good to know I'm stressin over nothing for now

[static fiber]

CHITIN ARMOR

[steady viper]

man, if only we could rotate cw/ccw vertical item stands...

[frail cave]

What does one do when their deer and bear trophies come flying out of ur pc monitors?? Is this a new bug plz help

[drowsy crane]

Now you must face Eikthyr

[frail cave]

Yezzz

[pure mango]

Be careful when you fight Brenna, I nearly burnt my house down

[frail cave]

Lmfaoooo

[quartz pier]

whats the best way to get tar?

[steady viper]

uhh... you can get tar in just two ways: killing growths and draining tar pits.
I'm assuming you only did the former so far? Because the latter is definitely the fastest method (you can generally get at least a couple stacks of tar from one pit)

there really is no other way to get tar that I know of

[quartz pier]

ok thanks, I just got to the plains biome, but i need it for my new house close by

[steep tusk]

Drain the pits.

You get 100+ per.

[quartz lake]

What is the best line to follow to advance slowly but surely. I have just unlocked copper, tin and bronze, I don't have bronze tools yet but I have my first ingots, I beat the first boss Elkinir, but not the second yet. What is the best, what should I do next to have good equipment for the second boss? Do I farm bronze to the max? Do I hunt lots of trolls?

[tacit breach]

Those are decisions you have to make. Heavy armor is bronze, light armor is trolls and bears.

The light armor sets give bonus', the heavy armor gives none,

[quartz lake]

so to fight the next boss what the best light or heavy

[faint osprey]

get bronze weapons and probably troll armor

[quartz lake]

It's better to have light armor and bronze weapons ?

[faint osprey]

the diffrence in troll armor and bronze is 2. Troll armor is way easier to get and upgrade

• heavy armor slows you down

[tacit breach]

Yep, fighting troll after troll after troll is way easier than digging in the dirt. 😄

[faint osprey]

for the amount of effort it takes to get bronze armor its quite underwhelming

[quartz lake]

ok thanks a lot

[faint osprey]

best way to fight the boss if you are new is to use the finewood bow + fire arrows

[quartz lake]

yes im a new player , i have less than 10hours

it's my first time on valheim

[faint osprey]

good luck on your journey 👍

[tacit breach]

I know where the copper and tin is, I have to wait for trolls to spawn or run around and run around until they do spawn. That said, I do usually go with troll armor. If I see them often enough.

[quartz lake]

Thank you, I already have the trousers and the chest plate in troll style, all I need now is the helmet, the cape, and the boots, if they exist.

[faint osprey]

no there are no boots just pants chestplate and helmet + cape for some

[quartz lake]

okok and it's normal that bears are more complicated than trolls

[foggy hound]

why tf are bears spawning near my workbenches

is that a bug

[tacit breach]

Could be. I rebuild the benches when that happens. Its fixed it so far.

[serene raven]

the 'mylittleui' mod doesnt work even when installed into my game. same folders as the other mods. same download method. when i changed to windows 11, it just stopped working for some reason. does anyone have any idea how to make it work?

[thorn spire]

@serene raven try asking in #mods-issues

[remote tangle]

what are some tips to prevent lag? (or can someone please direct me to a list somewhere?) my server doesn't have any problems right now, but i know on previous servers we had some increasing lag in areas that players had built a ton of stuff and terraformed a lot. so i'd like to make sure our current server stays nice n smooth

[tacit breach]

I'm not sure there is. Currently on a server playing with friends, and we all have above average systems and good internet. Still having tons of lag issues, so I think its the server providers problem.

[wanton parrot]

I believe I heard something about this while lookign through building tips and guides. If you ever alter the land in any way via hoe or pickaxe, it creates an 'instance' that remains forever. And the code can only handle so many of these instances before slowing down and lagging. Building also creates instances. At the time of the video, the noticeable limit was like, 10,000 instances before lag?

[tacit breach]

Its 30,000 now.

[wanton parrot]

so they tripled it since

[tacit breach]

Yep.

[wanton parrot]

but that mean's there's still a limit, and using the hoe to terraform could potentially cause many many overlappign instances

not to mention, the building in this game (from what I've seen so far in my playthrough) can be very enjoyable, and you can make some fun builds.

so overly complicated/elaborate builds would also rapidly boost towards this limitation

[tacit breach]

The place we have the largest lag issues is when we are sailing. Even with me in the front as the one with the best system and internet.

[wanton parrot]

unlikely you'd encounter it in SP I think but a server with other people? yeah, I wouldn't doubt it can reach the limit fast

hmmm really? sailing would mean rendering and unrendering the surrounding lands

but that shouldn't cause a lot of issues per se

sounds like it could be more of a packet issue with the server host?

[tacit breach]

Yep. Even with me as what I think is called "chunk leader", we still stretch out like rubber bands, etc...

[remote tangle]

so instances are like, items/things that players place, as well as times we use the hoe?
would mining an area be instances too, or just the hoe?

[wanton parrot]

yeah, that totally sounds like a poor quality server, or packets going awol

[wanton parrot]

any form of terraforming

mining, digging, using the hoe

[remote tangle]

what's best for mining to minimise that?

and is it like, 30,000 across the whole world or just like, what's currently loaded?

[tacit breach]

Within render range.

[wanton parrot]

30,000 for the loaded area I believe?

[remote tangle]

does chopping trees or mining copper just off the top of the ground count?

[wanton parrot]

I believe mining copper would yes, but chopping trees shouldn't

[tacit breach]

Tree stumps count.

[wanton parrot]

the stumps count? that's interesting

[tacit breach]

So get rid of those.

You only have to do it around your base area. Low traffic areas should never become an issue,

[alpine tapir]

Is this a bug (theres supposed to be a sealed tower here?)

[tacit breach]

Definitely NOT the sealed tower.

[thorn spire]

is this a new world?

[remote tangle]

ty guys! is there a list somewhere of what things create instances?

[tacit breach]

Probably, but its all summed up as anything that alters the ground. IE hoe, pick, cultivator, and any building you do.

[alpine tapir]

and this is supposed to be a smouldering tomb. I know what they are both supposed to look like and this whole world is post hildir update.

hard to see but there is definitely no tombs there

[thorn spire]

was your world created before bog witch update?

[alpine tapir]

no, it was created only barely before call to arms

[thorn spire]

hmm, not sure then. Have you tried going back to Hildir to update the map? Delete the old pins first.

[alpine tapir]

i'll try that. I know I have seen a real smouldering tomb on this seed, but I didn't enter it

[remote tangle]

wanting to make sure i understand so maybe a silly question but with cultivator, do planting/harvesting crops make a new instance that counts permanently toward the total?

[thorn spire]

I don't know for sure but I would guess probably.

[remote tangle]

okay so maybe having a farm far away from bases is best in that case

[tacit breach]

Not sure about the plants themselves. I'd assume they do.

[remote tangle]

😵‍💫

[tacit breach]

Its 30,000 instances. Thats one heck of a lot of actions and pieces. Unless your building a town, I wouldn't worry about it.

[marble pagoda]

terrain modifications no longer create permanent instances like they used to.
You can always check instances by hitting F2 and looking at the box.

Not all instances contribute equally to lag. Even now, 10k can get pretty laggy especially in multiplayer even if you have a good PC and server.
Each planted crop is an instance but it goes away when you harvest it and pick up the drops.

[remote tangle]

oh wow we only have a small building and it's at 5.5k

oh but i ran into the woods where we haven't done anything and it's up to 8k

[tired root]

This might help: https://youtu.be/0kPzh98xq5M?si=9PwlUTRE6GF_dI0v

[tired root]

The update added new POI, which generated your map again in unexplored parts, meaning it also switched locations of POIs like those Hildir's quest locations. Remove old pins and click the map table again and you get new correct locations.

[serene raven]

[dreamy fog]

Hey anyone I need some help just found a leviathan and idk If I can destroy the barnacles on its back with my antler pickaxe or Im just wasting my time

[cedar lodge]

sure you can, just the yeld will be lower on an average (more hits needed to break a barnacle > increased chance of early levi submerging)

[dreamy fog]

ok awesome thank you so much just started yesterday and I'm having so much fun

[cedar lodge]

aaah nice! enjoy your early beginnings, best thing and unrepeatble

[quiet beacon]

as thinking about turning off death dropping your items, since that is very unmotivating for me.

Could that negatively impact my first playthrough?

[mossy spire]

depends what you mean by this. in regards to default difficulty yes. now i will say if this death item dropping isnt to your liking and you find it unfun/unmotivating. i would say no it wouldnt. all that would change is the planning of keeping a spare set of gear at your base for when you die. or even planning how to get your gear back if you dont have any back up.

it wont negatively impact your first playthrough if thats not your cup of tea

[quiet beacon]

Ok thanks

[meager vale]

Instead of turning off death drops you could try adjusting the XP loss instead.

[brittle lantern]

Hey guys, I'm experimenting with new mods and I'm scared of breaking my MP save with friends. How do I make a backup to ensure everything stays safe?

[quiet beacon]

How do I make progress? I built a small house, explored a bit and even found some ore, but I can't mine it

[thorn spire]

Follow the Raven’s hints and kill the first boss

[woeful star]

You can find the first boss's spawn location if you interact with the glowing rock at spawn 🙂

[quiet beacon]

Oh ok It felt weird going into a boss fight with stone equipment

[woeful star]

The first boss is pretty easy, the rest get pretty tough on the first playthrough

[frosty frost]

Hi there, sorry for late reply, i don't think they have to be lit, i know for certain campfires don't have to be, So i would think torches work the same way 🙂

[quiet beacon]

I think I was over equipped this really was easy!

[woeful star]

Yea Eikthyr is super easy, whenever I start a new playthrough I forget how easy it is.

Now use that antler you got from killing it to make a pickaxe and head into the next biome!

[sour mesa]

guys why is the audio suddenly buggy? its like its laggy

[quiet beacon]

I already found copper and tin before the boss😅

[sour mesa]

game play is ok tho, but its choppy audio for both my and my friend in ashlands

[quiet beacon]

I got chased out by the giant

[latent siren]

did they nerfed trophy drop chance? I just fought couple of draugr elites and no trophy

[tired root]

No they haven't.

[latent siren]

I guess bad rng then

[tired root]

Rng giveth, rng taketh.

[wanton vortex]

Might be a dumb question, but how do you make the Pointy Hat and Jack o Turnip? I don't see them in my workbench or in the hammer menu

[tired root]

Jack o Turnip is buildable with hammer, should be in furniture section. Pointy hat is made in workbench and requires bronze, coal and deer hide to craft.

But if not found then the season may have passed.

I just have steam_autocloud.vdf in both of those directories (characters and worlds), what do you guys have?

[misty sage]

The game obv has 'intended' mechanics and progression but sometimes stuff like backtracking for gear can be very annoying especially if it's far and/or requires sailing. Can be even worse when it's near a horde of enemies or in a dungeon.

The one thing that'll always ruin anyone's first playthrough is a situation where you don't want to play anymore. Experiencing everything the game offers that interests you is what matters. If you think a world modifier will help with that objective, use it.

[white slate]

does wood iron beam give more support than just a regular wood beam?

[tired root]

Significantly yes.

Supporting taller stone structures is near impossible without iron beams.

[white slate]

hmm, my basement and first floor are from stone

alright time to farm more iron

[stable nebula]

Question: I'm playing with "-setkey nomap" but my waystones (the boss stones) don't shift my camera to the direction of the boss like it does in the "-preset hardcore" setting. Is this intentional? Is there a way to turn the camera adjustment for boss stones on?

[crude meadow]

Which gemstone would be the best for the ash fang?

[frosty frost]

Really depends on what you like 😄

[tired root]

Iolite for zappies. Jade for rooties.

[crude meadow]

I feel like the root staff will do the job

[tired root]

Personally I prefer Iolite version for the bow.

[frosty frost]

Zappies it is 😄
-# Btw, explained like a pro Joel xD

[crude meadow]

Also poison is kinda a meh in ashlands, at least from what I've experienced

Thanks a lot though!

[frosty frost]

Poison is not great almost anywhere sadly

[tired root]

That 10 extra is not anything groundbreaking honestly, the rooting effect is more important stat.

[crude meadow]

I have my friend to be a beating bag

[remote tangle]

hope u got it figured out, I think that might be a question for #steam-bugs-discussion

[misty oracle]

ty, no luck yet though

[jade olive]

Has this happened to anyone with the water its just nuts my ocean is broken

[clever birch]

i had something like this happen to me in an explored area of the deep north in a pre ashlands world.
tho, if this is the entire world for you, i would just migrate to a new one

[stable nebula]

Bump

[eternal topaz]

Hey im new is to the game how do you tame wolves ive seen pit and fence taming but which works after the bear update?

[frosty frost]

Both still work 🙂 taming has not been changed in any way

[quiet beacon]

can I break the collapsed stone walls in throbs?

[frosty frost]

Nope, that Is the end of that passage

[quiet beacon]

thx

does grass regrow?

[steady viper]

only if you choose to do so with the cultivator tool

the changes you make to the environment are permanent, unless you undo them yourself

[hollow helm]

is there a safe way to mine the stuff from a dvergr mine or do you just have to kill the dvergrs

[faint osprey]

break the ward with a cart or lure a gjall or a seeker soldier and have them break it

[hollow helm]

if you break the ward they won't get angry?

[faint osprey]

breaking it with a cart is quite amoying

if its you who broke it they will get mad

if its a mob or a cart they wont

and after you break the ward you can destroy those boxes for loot and they wont get mad

just dont hit them

[hollow helm]

alr tysm

[remote tangle]

how close can you plant crops to each other? and trees
and does it vary based on type?

[hollow helm]

yeah it does

[manic gyro]

The wiki has that information. With a little more than 1m you are safe for all crops. Trees need more (6-8m depending on type of memory serves)

[remote tangle]

y'know i completely didn't think to look there
ty!

[solemn osprey]

A good technique for planting is to turn on walk mode and strafe while planting crops, you can achieve a consistent rhythm.

[night rain]

Me and a friend are playing valheim and we've reached the plains are building a house where a fuling village was that we destroyed but the music for the village keeps playing? is that intended or an oversight/bug?

[drowsy crane]

I would say it's safe to say it's intentional, you're the fulings now

[tired root]

The music tracks in POIs will stay even if you cleared them. Same goes for example if you decided to build your base in place of Dvergr tower, then the Dvergr music will stay there.

[hollow helm]

yoooo how do I tame it

[tired root]

Lure it in enclosed area, drop something they eat on ground (raspberries are easiest) then let it calm so it starts to eat and start the taming process.

[hollow helm]

alr. do I need another 2 star boar to get all 2 star babies or can it be a 1 or 0 star too?

[tired root]

Taming process takes 30 minutes and you need to be in in the same area until it's tamed, if you move out from the area the process will pause.

[tired root]

You need only one starred, it can give birth to other starred one when you have other boar too.

Offsprings will inherit the stars from the parent that gave birth to it.

[hollow helm]

how do I get it to lose aggro and start eating? I used onions, assuming that works

[tired root]

When it cannot see you it will calm down and lose aggro.

Onions work too.

[hollow helm]

nah this guy has a temper problem i swear

[frosty frost]

Crouch a bit further from it for little while 😄

[hollow helm]

ah yeah crouching works!

[frosty frost]

Yeah, it still saw you before 🙂

[hollow helm]

OH MY GOD

not even 10 meters further lmaoooo

[frosty frost]

Nice! 😄

[hollow helm]

do you get like a notification when the boar is tamed or no

[frosty frost]

You will get text across screen, yes

[hollow helm]

alr ty

[drowsy crane]

There's also a noise iirc

[coarse relic]

Is fishing good?

[livid charm]

somewhat fish is good food

[coarse relic]

Should i invest? Or get the belt first

[hollow helm]

how many raspberries do you need to throw on the ground for them to breed

[drowsy crane]

3 will tame them, I usually throw 5 just to be safe.

[drowsy crane]

Belt first

[livid charm]

bro belt is the most important

you need to farm alot and weight is very limited its only like my fourth play trough i never went trough the plains biome fully but for me belt should and must be a priority

[hollow helm]

unless you absolutely need the fish for a certain recipe you really want, I'd say get the belt

[meager vale]

Belt>circlet>Fishing rod

[frosty frost]

Tbh i never get the circlet, i dont feel it actually helps the overall visibility, you get to see few meters in front of you but anything on the sides of the screen and in the distance is total darkness. I will rather take a bit darker screen where i can see everything pretty well still 😄

[livid charm]

crypts and swap are way too dark i kinda think circlet is good for those areas but i would say a torch would be better overall

[frosty frost]

Nah, plenty of light there from built in torches 🙂

[livid charm]

how far are you into the game?

[frosty frost]

And even without its not taht bad

[livid charm]

them green ligths

[hollow helm]

if my friend aggrod a dvergr camp, will they be angry at me too?

[frosty frost]

Good question, not sure. Guess you will have to find out yourself 😄

[hollow helm]

YUP THEYRE MAD

[frosty frost]

Oooof, so you have some fun ahead 😄

[clever juniper]

lolol that was mean but funny

[hollow helm]

that genuinely scared me icl

[smoky acorn]

Any recommendations for fishing from a boat in the swamp? Seems that both bows and ||magic staves|| are hard to get the leeches once they're all-up-ons.

[dreamy fog]

anyone have some tips on how to get past an invincible swamp tree its actually blocking one of my dungeons lol and Im to scared to find another one.

[tired root]

How badly it blocks?
-# This channel allows posting pics as long as they stay relevant.

[dreamy fog]

can I post a picture somewhere?

[tired root]

In this channel you can, as I mentioned.

[dreamy fog]

that's the best angle I can get I got to crawl under it

thats the tree going into the door lol

[tired root]

One trick you could try is clipping inside with help of bench.

[dreamy fog]

OHH

I will try that

[tired root]

Put bench in position where you clip inside the tree when you sit on it. Log bench also doesn't require workbench to build.

[dreamy fog]

OMG your the actual goat

[tired root]

Another way would have needed console commands. But incase one doesn't want to rely on them bench trick do the trick. 👍

[dreamy fog]

I'm going to be honest I'm not a fan of using them if I don't have to but in this games case it doesn't have achievements so I'm not really worried

[tired root]

Yeah, although achievements will be added in 1.0 update, which also adds all content to the last biome, the Deep North. Using console commands might prevent some achievements as using them marks the character with "Cheater!" tag.

[weak maple]

Anyone having issues with using the workbench?

It says it needs a roof over its head to be usable. I have a house with a roof and still can’t use it

Had to build like a roof tile over it and now it’s unsettling to look at

[tired root]

Actual roof, not floor pieces?

[weak maple]

Had to build like a single roof over it

It’s on my ground floor lol will show you when I get on the game

[weak maple]

Yes an actual roof!

[tired root]

It requires 70% cover to be able to use for crafting and repairing.

[unique glacier]

What armour should I get after the troll Armour?

[static quartz]

You could go for the bronze set or if you get into the swamp, the iron set is good

[unique glacier]

Do you also loose movement speed with the iron set?

[tired root]

Heavy armor sets tend to add movement speed penalty, -5% per chest/greaves (not helmets).

[static quartz]

Yes... but if you mostly melee, then I recommend it. If you are more a distance player using the bow and arrow, then there is a set good for that with the swamp's abomination drops.

[tired root]

One can also mix heavy and light armor pieces. Heavy helmets don't add ms penalty so having iron helmet along with troll/bear armor pieces add mix of bit better armor and good movement.

Many folks also might add Root Harnesk for the pierce resistance, makes archers no problem at all for example.

[cloud frost]

guys, hi, please help, the game crashes
I checked the files, deleted the installation and still crashes
steam

[dreamy fog]

someone

there's this scary induvial in my game

[smoky nexus]

The song plays ( Somebody’s watching me )

[thorn spire]

You should be scared. He's the guy that put you here.

[dreamy fog]

ah odin

I thought it was the grim reaper lol he just smoke bombed away

[cloud frost]

I did it

[frozen harbor]

is there any staff

on rn

[compact heath]

you can use modmail I think for that @frozen harbor

[rocky sphinx]

whats the cold bait codename for console commands?

found it

[coarse relic]

To be fair it's mt fourth play trough twice reaching swamp and third one that I'm currently on is the bronze age and somehow this is the first time i found dealer

Also I'm curious, is using seed to see map n atuff forbidden like considered cheating?

[grizzled creek]

I want to make a photo series of a play through. Where can I post the pictures of the game play?

[drowsy crane]

#screenshots is your best outlet for that.

[grizzled creek]

Ok.

[coarse relic]

Yo Omni

Is using valheim map generator considered cheating?

[drowsy crane]

I suppose it could be, it might depend how you use it

[grizzled creek]

Looking for a name for a cool mine city, any ideas?

[coarse relic]

In what ways ?

[drowsy crane]

Kreg (stems from Gaelic word for rock/cliff, and also brand name for a tool)

[coarse relic]

Could you give me an example?

[drowsy crane]

Searching for boss locations instead of locating Vegvisir could be considered cheating, where simply looking up if your seed has a Maypole wouldn't be cheating. It's all subjective though.

[coarse relic]

Uh location haldor? Or location swamp dungeons?

Tell me the truth so i can act accordingly,

[drowsy crane]

It depends who you ask with these cases, I personally would say no for Haldor because you could accidentally pass them by countless times. Swamp dungeons are abundant enough and should be a reason to explore.

[coarse relic]

Entire swamp biome had one 😭🙏🏽

As for the haldor should i consider?

[drowsy crane]

That's going to happen, it's also possible to have 30+ in one swamp biome. 😛

[coarse relic]

Yepp i went in there thinking it'd be one of those 30+ biomes

[drowsy crane]

That will be up to you ultimately, but any reason to set sail and explore your world can be good.

Is it cheating? I can't give a definitive answer there.

[coarse relic]

You see I'm at rhe early iron stage of the game haven't even crafted anything out of it (haven't transported the metal) and i think getting the belt would make things process whole lot easier

On the other side. I feel like it's not entirely fair to locate haldor

[drowsy crane]

It can for sure, but these hurdles can be part of the game, and taking away your motivations to have such things by just looking them up can take away from the experience.

[coarse relic]

You're right

I'll just not use it and stick with navigational instinct

[drowsy crane]

You're already at advantage by knowing they exist, and that's a nice edge in itself.

[coarse relic]

Lol sure wnd there's a pretty high Chance of them spawning at the spawn island so I'll explore it completely gathering everything valuables i can

[drowsy crane]

Good idea 😮

[coarse relic]

On it

[worn bane]

is stag breaker any good?

[coarse relic]

Yeah it can be good against skeletons. Other than that you can also use it to locate hidden treasure at viking graveyard

[worn bane]

k thx

[coarse relic]

Yw, more about it is that it helps keep distance between you and skeletons

[worn bane]

thx

[hollow helm]

uh help

I did not know these guys could spawn in infested mines haha

can it break the vines?

[spare ravine]

yes
but is that the entrance?

[hollow helm]

yea

[crystal aspen]

Why cant I cook anything from barley flour even though i have cauldrion with 2 upgrades?

[frosty frost]

Do you have prep table? 😄

[hollow helm]

could it be that the things you wanna make have been moved to the prep table?

[crystal aspen]

oops, forgot abt it

tho it wasnt mentioned in any of the guides i watched

[rocky sphinx]

its a relatively recently added thing

[frosty frost]

It might have not existed depending on when the guide was made 🙂 or the people making them simply forgot it

[frosty frost]

True that 😄
-# Tho it has already been a year xD

[spare ravine]

They cant climb up the step to the entrance so you are safe there.

Well, from seeker soldiers specifically

[vapid sable]

Anyone having problems with disappearing bears? Both times I’ve tried to kill one, after a number of hits they just disappeared. Poof. One had been reduced to about 70% health, and so I was bummed to lose that progress.

[quartz lake]

can we upgrade max weight on player inventory

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂 you need to find the trader in black forest for that

[quartz lake]

i do all around in black forest next to my home but i nevers find trader

[frosty frost]

You need to look further than 1500 from center of the world 🙂

[quartz lake]

ho ok , travel max 500 to 1000 aroudn the center

i new in the game i didn't lot of the map unlock

[tired root]

The world radius (distance from center to the edge) is 10500m, so you can kinda like do own markings to estimate the 1500m distance from center.

[spare ravine]

there are three traders in the game's world, and how it works makes you rather likely to find one of them eventually. However they will never show up in an area you have already explored.

[fair shell]

I must be building challenged lol. I cant make a dock for the life of me lol

[drowsy crane]

Start with a pillar as far out as you want to build, then build into the land.

[solemn osprey]

Also start at height where you can stand on dock and access Longship's hold.

[crystal aspen]

Hey guys, is this food good enough to get past the plains biome?

Im new in this game so maybe u got any suggestions

[solemn osprey]

That looks pretty good except for quantity. By get past you mean finish the biome or just engage with it.

[crystal aspen]

Finish it completely including the boss

[solemn osprey]

Then barely, if you're really good.

[stoic trench]

I think it would be worth upgrading the ice cream to bread

[misty hollow]

or make some blood pudding

[stoic trench]

Personally, I’d swap the wolf skewer for the mountain feast, but that’s just me

[solemn osprey]

Yeah or blood pudding. Also serpent stew to replace wolf skewer.

[crystal aspen]

im so lost when it comes to food in this game, i just cook what i can afford

[solemn osprey]

Most important would be fire resist mead.

[crystal aspen]

I have 86 armor btw

[misty hollow]

but it should work for plains - just watch carefully out for enemies to find out, how they fight/attack

[solemn osprey]

Food has 2 stats for you to concentrate on, health (red) and stamina(yellow). This determines how much of each resource you have and how quickly it comes back. Most people use 2 health 1 stamina or vice versa.

Otherwise bigger numbers equal better.

Pick 3 foods with the highest health / stamina stats. Keep in mind max health determines how well you can block.

[crystal aspen]

So far i think this is the best of what i could choose

[solemn osprey]

Then you havent built a proper plains farm, if you dont have enough barley for other foods.

[misty hollow]

May Odin protect you on your journey - as far as i understood, you start going into the plains, right?

[solemn osprey]

What you have is sufficient for all plains content except yag, where you'd really need to lock in.

[crystal aspen]

I started 2 days ago, i already crafted full set of armor and a porcupine

[solemn osprey]

Jesus man remember to eat in real life as well.

[misty hollow]

sounds good. then you are on a good way and you can improve the food like written when you start a farm in the plains

[crystal aspen]

ive played valheim for 70 hours for the past 2 weeks, im already becoming a viking

Tho i started this world 3 weeks ago

[solemn osprey]

You started 2 days ago, 2 weeks ago, and 3 weeks ago?

[crystal aspen]

I entered plains 2 days ago

[solemn osprey]

Ahhhh
