[pallid lance]

can someone help me design my livingroom? have no idea how to design in this game and i am currently at mistlands

[solemn osprey]

Make a much bigger shelter, gives you more options for design.

[gusty rampart]

Can we players build one such a tower or take it over? I mean break the seal?

[tired root]

One cannot build inside the tower.

[gusty rampart]

And i cant unseal it i suppose?

[tired root]

If you try build inside there appear the same message as if you try build inside the sacrificial stones. So no way to "unseal" it.

[gusty rampart]

Aw man. Is it possible to replicate it? Like can WE build this hight or will the game interfere somehow?

[tired root]

One can build high enough tower with help of iron wood supports.

However, you can build outside of the tower, it has as strong support as ground/terrain (blue color for stability).

[gusty rampart]

I see. Thx a lot

[tired root]

This might give some idea. https://youtu.be/OT-SXQQpArE?si=WX40S4VhTQ1e5l_w

[gusty rampart]

Thx a bunch!! Ma brother is gonna be very happy to see that

[crystal aspen]

Its been 3 days since i tamed them, they made no kids, why?

[tired root]

They're not tamed.

If they were their life bars would show green, not red.

[crystal aspen]

How to tame them then? I gave them food

At first there were heart symbols above them so i thought i did it right

[tired root]

Taming has 3 conditions:

1. animal is not hungry (food on ground)
2. animal is not alerted (no red ! mark above) and
3. player is on the same area (if you leave the area the taming process pauses).

It takes 30 minutes to fully tame when those 3 conditions are met. Half time with a help of certain mead.

If any condition is not met, the taming process is on pause and will continue again when all 3 are met again.

[heavy sage]

Hey all,

Just recently came back to my save in the Ashland’s and forgot why I stopped playing and now remember. Food was always something I found to keep constant supply of and required a fair amount of effort to get a lot stocked up. Is there any guides that people recommend to setup farms for the go to foods ? I do already have a chicken farm as a fyi

[tired root]

Barley.

[brittle lantern]

Did they patch surtling farms in the swamp?

[lapis terrace]

no?

[dreamy fog]

BRO

why did all my carrots just transform infront of me

[compact heath]

If you haven’t been to area in a while they catch up on growing up

When it loads when you get there

[dreamy fog]

ok thank you

[gloomy nova]

how do i get ymir flesh

@fathom badge

@crisp quarry

[faint osprey]

buy it from haldor for 120 coins

[deft coral]

U can buy it from haldor and its only available after killing the elder

[quiet beacon]

How do I use the cauldron?

[tired root]

Build it on lit fire source, like campfire.

[quiet beacon]

I did, but it doesn’t show any recipes

[tired root]

Does it open the crafting menu?

[quiet beacon]

Yes

But it’s empty

[tired root]

Then it works, but you haven't found certain ingredients yet.

Found any blueberries?

[quiet beacon]

No

[tired root]

Finding blueberries will unlock first recipe for queen jam stamina food, which requires blueberries and raspberries.

[quiet beacon]

Ok thanks

[tired root]

You also need to find carrot seeds and farm them for more food options.

[quiet beacon]

I found the seed, but I don’t know how to plant them

[tired root]

You need cultivator, which requires bronze and corewood at forge.

[quiet beacon]

Is corewood the stuff you find the the forest biome(the one with copper and tin)?

[tired root]

Yes, you can get corewood by cutting down pine trees in black forest.

Pines don't require bronze axe tho, stone axe is enough.

[quiet beacon]

Ok, then I overlooked it in the forge. Do you have any tips for finding a lot of tin?

[tired root]

Search from shores and areas elevated close to water in black forest.

[quiet beacon]

That will be annoying

But thanks anyways

[tired root]

They are fortunately quite easy to locate, they look shinier than regular stones/boulders.

And hovering your cursor on them will tell "tin deposit" when it's tin.

[copper raven]

wasnt there a map-seeds channel here before?

[tepid harness]

So I'm trying to get "spoiler free" help, like, if I as a question it's fine, but I don't want too much help... So I'm not looking at other people's questions for fear of spoilers, and I apologize if that means I'm repeating a question. I have two kinda basic questions; Will structures collapse without beams? and Will structures burn if a fire is built below them?

[copper raven]

the type of member isnt as important as having th least number of elements, preferably starting on earth (blue) and however connected up to the element that is redest

[drowsy crane]

#1202740443352137838 It's still here.

[copper raven]

thanks, didnt reaLISE I HID THAT CATEGOry

[copper raven]

if you have fire hazards on, then yes; if the fire is < ~2m from anyhting flamable it can catch fire, usually 2m is safe enough, even 1.5m is too if you feell lucky

[drowsy crane]

Don't worry about repeats, everyone needs help at different times! Structures need supports, you can see how supported something is by hovering an object with the hammer out. Blue = Foundational(attached to the ground or solid object), Green = supported, and Red = less supported.

[copper raven]

so longer members like corewood etc are inherently more capable of carrying the load further/higher

[drowsy crane]

Members? 😅

[tepid harness]

Alright yep, structures are more complicated than I thought. Thanks y'all ^^

[quiet beacon]

Is it true that items near a workbench don't despawn?

[drowsy crane]

Yes, unless thrown in 2m of water or more.

[quiet beacon]

ok thx

[remote tangle]

what are the best ways to level up cooking skill? like what gives the most xp/fastest?

[tepid harness]

I would also like to know this

[tepid harness]

So... Green is fine, Red means I need to reconfigure how it's built. Right?

I notice that Campfires dictate the state of rest I'm in, do I need to always have campfires around? or am I missing something?

[true steeple]

Red is ok if it's not breaking, that just means you can't build much further

[misty hollow]

red means, that it could still work. e.g. if you put 4 pcs of would on each other, the color will change to red in the top, but is still working

[tepid harness]

Oh okk! Good to know, thankye!

[tepid harness]

Does fire proximity to house matter? Again, sorry but don't wanna look at the wiki for fear of spoilers. Can I put a campfire in my house and it's fine, or..?

[static fiber]

It will only be dangerous if you have the fire hazards activated

[remote tangle]

needs smoke ventilation as well

[tepid harness]

Smoke ventilation? So like if I have a 5x5 house and the middle is open that's fine?

[remote tangle]

the fire needs to be covered directly above it but smoke needs to be able to go out
covered chimney so it goes out the sides works well

[remote tangle]

or something like this on the outside but iirc needs to be within 3-4 tiles of beds (don't quote me on the 3-4 tiles)

[tepid harness]

I'm just scared of the house lighting on fire x.x

[remote tangle]

don't have fire hazards turned on then

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Ash_Fang
Here you can see what materials and what level of black forge do you need, don't know what you were using to search but there is soooooooo many things wrong there

[heavy sage]

Thanks , I thought it was morgan fangs I needed but seems I need the snake ones instead 🙃

and its typical ai search slop thats in every browser now

[frosty frost]

Yeah, just manual search, and usually the fandom Wiki has the answer as it Is the only official and most up to date one 🙂

[sturdy pewter]

Does anybody know why people can’t join my server? They enter the code and password correctly, but just keep joining empty worlds full of trees.

[short smelt]

found the mysterious rock what do i do with it?

[frosty frost]

Get some coal and make a friend

[pure mango]

I might have found the most anxious boar ever.
I cant tame this thing because it has x-ray vision across my base, seeing through a stakewall and a building, and still does the scared noise.

I was even crouched and in troll armor so noise shouldnt be an issue and it still gets set off.

[drowsy crane]

I am guessing it is near an active fire source

[crystal aspen]

Where is serpent stew? I have level 3 and prep table

[true steeple]

You need to cook the serpent meat

[crystal aspen]

yep, u were right, thanks

[round aspen]

trying to start a server, and it keeps telling me that the server version is 0.221.6, which doesn't make sense anyone know why it would say its a newer version then what the call to arms 0.221.4

[steep tusk]

Serpent Meat and Deer Meat you can just cook on acquisition as there is no recipe that uses them in raw form.

[frosty frost]

There has been few "Ghost patches" that didn't really change anything for us. I would guess thats the reason

[tired root]

Also fish meat is required as its cooked variant, not raw in any recipes.

[steep tusk]

🎣

[tired root]

I thought you got your answer already in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202177337328934973. Is there something else?

[dusk prawn]

please tell me how to fix THIS 😭 !!

this happens almost every day

[charred willow]

i did not. and you're being simply just simply agressive

there's something wrong with you!

[tired root]

I was not really. Bears spawn more frequently than trolls, it's just rng.

[tired root]

You might want to check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220, someone else having same crash message.

[dusk prawn]

thanks.

[stoic trench]

Joel is like the least aggressive person in this discord 😂

[crystal aspen]

I personally got this error when tried switching to vulkan insted of directx, so maybe this is the case

[dusk prawn]

i never used vulkan in my 1500 hours of the game

[crystal aspen]

then perhaps try switching to it from directx

[dusk prawn]

how do I do that again?

[crystal aspen]

steam valheim - properties - select launch option

[dusk prawn]

ty

[steep tusk]

@valid vector you will want one of these 2 setups.

[valid vector]

thank you so much,what would synergize with a heavy armor set?

[steep tusk]

Food doesn't affect your armor.

[valid vector]

yeah but like

[steep tusk]

Food does affect your ability to block with your shield.
And if that is your focus, stick to the HHS configurations.

If you are more of a dodge-roll person, HSS.

[valid vector]

what does it do to the block? i cant block bear hits and troll hits atm

[valid vector]

my adrenaline kicks in when a troll starts the slam anim and i dodge too early 💔

[steep tusk]

Blocking sheet is also pinned in #valheim-chat and has a full explanation.

Short version: Blocking capability is based on your maximum health.

[shut dove]

anyone know what trophy goes here

[dry yew]

Can someone join my world and help me get one wolf cape on my character

Its all i need, im in troll skin/bronze age

I cannot craft a frost resistance and i cannot kill a wolf

[cloud badger]

hey guys, im new to valheim and im trying to finish this tower but I have a lot of instability at this point, any tip to increase it? I cant place anything else right now

[thorn spire]

Looks like you've reached the building limit based on the materials you have. As you explore more, you'll discover more materials that can allow you to build higher.

[safe dawn]

supercraft servers down for anyone else?

[thorn spire]

Corewood has slightly stronger stability. I don't see any in your build. You get it from pine trees. Otherwise, you'll have to progress to the third biome in order to gain access to stronger materials.

[steep tusk]

Are you using Ironwood?

[cloud badger]

nope jsut regular one

[thorn spire]

oh yeah I see a furnace there. You should have iron.

[steep tusk]

Ironwood has the highest structural points in the game.

[thorn spire]

wood-iron beams will give you the strength.

[cloud badger]

okay im gonna farm some more iron then

[steep tusk]

Run it from the ground all the way up as your support pillars.

[steep tusk]

It is a large part of why you never stop needing iron 😄

[cloud badger]

ahaha I can already tell

[wise zealot]

How on earth do I survive the post Eithyr raids solo. I went 27 days without a death to 10 in 3 due to greydwarf raids?

[tacit breach]

Defensive walls. Ditches. The roof of your home when you need to recover. Things like that. I suggest the strongest walls possible before beating the Elder.

[zealous rover]

Also fire arrows very good at beating greydwarves safely

[tacit breach]

Yeah, if your not strong on your main weapon(s) you may find a torch more effective for melee as well. Being near a campfire can also help keep them from massing up on you.

[tacit breach]

I hope the above ideas help.

[fleet lily]

I had a question for fighting bonemass should I use iron armor or root armor

[zealous rover]

If you use the head from the root with the iron chest and legs you get poison resist and big armor which helps a lot

Fire weakness will basically never come up in the swamp

Iron is probably the most used metal so if you're good at dodging I'd personally go root so I have iron for other things

[steep tusk]

Kiting. Enemy AI is very rudimentary. So you can just run in long circles and they chase you.
Use this either to fight them in stages or even to just kite the first wave around until the raid timer ends and then no more will spawn as you kill them off.

[steep tusk]

Shouldn't matter as his animations are so long you should never get hit.

[zealous rover]

I like skipping swamp for the mountain to get frostner

[steep tusk]

🤢

[fleet lily]

I’m not that good

[zealous rover]

The poison will get you more than anything else

[fleet lily]

Do I chug mead

[zealous rover]

The root armor gives poison resist which is why I like it more for bonemass

[steep tusk]

He has 3, and only one of them hits you.
Poison is the easiest to avoid. If he puts both hands on his stomach just back up - he vomits, stay backed up and he will walk through the cloud to get to you.

[fleet lily]

Do you attack him while he’s throwing up ?

[steep tusk]

No, because you're backing up.

[zealous rover]

I hit him in the back when he vomits

[fleet lily]

Thank you for the tips

[steep tusk]

👍

[fleet lily]

Can I tank the vomit if I use mead + good food with good armor

[steep tusk]

Why are you face-tanking damage you don't need to?

[zealous rover]

I just sprint behind him when he vomits for backshots with frostner

He's weak to blunt and frost so frostner is his krytponite

[steep tusk]

If you're going to do things out of order, sure.

[zealous rover]

The stagbreaker silver hunting is so funny

[spare ravine]

bonemass?

Last time I did bonemass, I had an iron axe (not optimal), had iron armor as upgraded as I could, and was carrying healing, stamina, and poison resistance meads. He was very easy.
Also make sure you have good foods going on.

While frostner might be the best weapon to use against it, you arent "supposed" to have it yet. The best weapon to used against it that you are supposed to have is the iron mace.

[mental dragon]

I have a boat here in my boat house but its missing everytime I relog in

this the 3rd time its missing 🙁

[steep tusk]

Doing Bonemass with a Spear is like a guaranteed +20 skill levels to spear 😄

I broke 4 spears and went from 30 -> 51 last time I did it 😄

[stoic breach]

does altering terrain with hoe raise lag a lot?

[unique glacier]

what is this symbol for?

[tawdry briar]

thats the Bog witch icon, she lives in the swamp selling an aray of delightful goodies!

[unique glacier]

thanks, do i see it because of the wishbone? or would i have also seen it with out since i havent found heldor yet

[tawdry briar]

it is the same as Haldor, proximity based discovery!

[tired root]

Nope, she is the trader that appears in one of the 10 possible spawn points you find first.

[unique glacier]

who is that? haldor?

[cedar lodge]

nope, his sister, worth a visit even if overall sells less useful stuff

[unique glacier]

what are mandatory items to get from either of them?

[tired root]

Farming set is quite nice, but requires returning brass chest from smouldering tomb. Also, barber kit to build barber station, which allows you changing your hair and beard, also has some more style options than character creation.

Bog Witch has very useful stuff overall, I recommend getting at least one of each she has to unlock many new recipes.

[unique glacier]

alrighty, apreciate the help

[still fossil]

Anyone know if I can reset the explore full map command, so I only see what I really have explored? If so how? Thank you boys

[tired root]

Or rather, one item is more cosmetic from Bog Witch: ivy seeds. You can grow plants on your walls in your base with them but they don't bear any fruit.

[static fiber]

Devcommands>debugmode(i think)>exploremap

[frosty frost]

The Is to explore it, not to reverse that command 🙂
-# and no need for debugmode in this case 😄

[static fiber]

Ohhh

Ok sorry

[pure mango]

Are the new glass vial 'summons' any good against moder?

She's neutral to poision but I imagine they can only do something whilst she's on the ground

[tired root]

As how the blobs behave (not friendly to us and attack opposing factions) I doubt they attack bosses either as all mobs are marked as allies with bosses.

[pure mango]

Oh yea I forgot they can hurt you as well

So they only attack the faction blobs would attack anyway?

You'd think they'd be in their own summon faction which is agro to everything

Well, I guess I can try a wolf army this time

[tired root]

Almost all blobs belong to undead/demon faction except frost blob, which belongs to mountain faction.

[cosmic cedar]

If I have 10 chickens in an area, will they still produce eggs?

[frosty frost]

Depends how big is the area 😄

The limit is 10 within 10 meters

[cosmic cedar]

so if the mob cap is reached then no eggs?

[frosty frost]

Yep

But if you drop more eggs there by hand they can still hatch, just none new ones will be laid by the hens there

[quasi vault]

My work around on chicken's cap has always been to use 1 meter high walls, so that once there's a bunch of chicken they start escaping by climbing on top of one another. Of course that means there's a bunch of chicks and chicken running around the base but the ones in the enclosure keep breeding

[frosty frost]

Are you on steam?

Ok, go to in game setting and select enable console option in gameplay tab, then you can press F5 after which you type in devcommands. After that it should say devcommands:true . After taht you can use any commands you want 🙂

Yes you can

But if its your first playthrough i would suggest you stay away from commands

[steep tusk]

Find a low cave and raid it for Fenris Hair. Because Fenris Chest has the same warmth effect.

From someone who cannot use Frost Mead at all.

[frosty frost]

Well, to not skip progression i suggest you at least spawn the mead and not cape 😄 you can do that by typing spawn MeadFrostResist 10 for stack of ten of them.

-# Tho if you really want the cape then its spawn CapeWolf 🙂

[glad meteor]

Does anyone know this server? I got banned for not having my marker on the map activated and i didnt know that it's a must on the server and they share the banlist with many other big servers. Now i cant join anyone...

[frosty frost]

I would suggest to send a message to the owner or admin of that server if you need to resolve issues there 🙂

[steep tusk]

People are weird.

[glad meteor]

I tried to find a discord and even made a deepresearch by chatgpt but couldnt find it online. I saw a sign with the discord link inside the server but cant get there anymore...

[frosty frost]

Others?

Can you send screenshot of your console?

Are you in your own world or your friends?

Ah, i see the problem, try spawn ArmorWolfChest and spawn ArmorWolfLegs

Also spawn HelmetDrake if you want the complete set

[steep tusk]

When you use the spawn command, pay attention to the autofill suggestions. If what you're typing isn't on there when you're 1-2 letters away from being done, it isn't a valid command.

[frosty frost]

Depends on your luck pretty much

[steep tusk]

Easy is subjecthive.

[meager vale]

Depends how many cultists you run into.

[frosty frost]

Why would you cheat when playing with friends?

[steep tusk]

You've crossed into "you are the sole person who can decide this" territory.

[frosty frost]

Ah, well, you already have the cape

[steep tusk]

Caves.

[meager vale]

When you spawn a piece of gear it does not say who made it. When your friends look at your corpse and see an item that wasn't crafted by anyone then there is an issue.

[steep tusk]

Bronze created by no one 😏

[meager vale]

When I play with friends I can almost instantly tell who is spawning items with commands. I see how much people play, and know who goes on what adventure. So when I see someone come online with a lox cape that hasn't been to the plains I put it together.

So if you play less than someone else, they will likely notice.

[drowsy crane]

For that reason I am so glad trinkets are visible on the characters 😅

Though some armor hides them of course

[quasi vault]

Abyssal razor imo

[frosty frost]

Yeah, but you can obtain it pretty much at the start of the game if you are lucky enough

[quasi vault]

Doesn't need to be to be obtainable during that time of the game

You get chitin from the abyssal barnacle found in the ocean

[true steeple]

[steep tusk]

Dude had a whole conversation and is now self-deleting?

Weird af.

ANYONE WHO IS FRIENDS WITH DTC -- HE USED CONSOLE COMMANDS TO SPAWN STUFF IN.

[dusky flame]

hello how to fix that? i cant lower this anymore, trying with a hoe and pixace doesnt work

[steep tusk]

Game has a 7m limit on terrain lowering/raising.

[dusky flame]

hmm

[quasi vault]

build a deck

[cosmic cedar]

Do I have to be the one killing enemies to get their trophies?
I have a bunch of surtling spawners near each other in the water and I'm having some trouble getting the surtling trophy

[tired root]

No, their trophy drop is based on drop chance on death, not by what causes their death.

[shut dove]

is this real? a chest w sunken ship

[tired root]

Source of finewood without needing bronze axe.

[shut dove]

ok

[stoic breach]

Does changing terrain lag the game?

[frosty frost]

Just a tiny bit, not noticable in normal gameplay 🙂

[stoic breach]

Thanks 💯

[viscid vapor]

I just tried to buy more mountain pepper powder, but the older spices disappeared from the witch's inventory. What happened?

[tired root]

Have you defeated Moder?

Mountain feast spice will unlock after defeating her (plus some other things).

[viscid vapor]

Yes, we just beat Yagluth. I also have bought it before. I still have 4 in my inventory.

[tired root]

Co-op?

[viscid vapor]

Yes

[tired root]

No world modifiers changed?

[frosty frost]

Are you using any mods by chance? 🤔

[viscid vapor]

That is odd. The keys are missing

[frosty frost]

Yeah, that shouldnt happen unless someone is messing with devcommands or mods are involved

[viscid vapor]

Only client-side mods, that shouldn't affect the variables on my dedicated server

I'm also certain that I did not accidentally remove three separate keys for different bosses 😄
But anyway, it's an easy fix

[frosty frost]

Meh, mods can do all sorts of stuff no matter their inteded use. But regardless killing the bosses again should fix this 🙂

[viscid vapor]

For completion's sake my mod list

Thanks for the help!

[steep tusk]

[dreamy fog]

I am soon moving on to the mountains should I focus on the iron sword or atgeir??

[frosty frost]

Either one is fine 🙂

Focus on whichever you enjoy using more

[dreamy fog]

ok awesome thank you once more

[steady viper]

the atgeir, with its long reach, might be more useful if you ever find yourself having trouble with wolves, but otherwise both weapons don't give you any particular advantage. Just don't let your iron mace rust, 'cause it might come in handy

[frosty frost]

True, one enemy will be quite a fight without blunt weapon 😄

[dreamy fog]

maces are my favorite weapon lol

I know you can also use a pickaxe for the certain rock enemy

[frosty frost]

Indeed we meant that one 😄

[remote tangle]

do any of the higher loot settings make it so more than one trophy drops? or is it always 1?

[frosty frost]

Always one.

[remote tangle]

ok ty

[glad current]

Hi everyone. So, earlier today I was accessing a container when the game quick-saved...and now I can't access ANY containers. The gump just doesn't show up at all. Has anyone else experienced this and, more importantly, has a viable fix? Please & thank you!

[clever maple]

is this adequate for a moat to keep golems and wolves out?

[steep tusk]

Just do some spawn TarLiquid to fill it.

[clever maple]

what

i dont want to cheat

[glad current]

Looks wide enough to avoid the golem's ground pound, steep enough wolves can't get up. Quality moat! 👍

[clever maple]

its deep enough?

[shy hollow]

If I have tamed boars can I place fire near them?

[glad current]

Yes, tamed boars no longer fear fire

[lusty hill]

what do yall do to make your boating trips less miserable

[thorn spire]

When I start to feel miserable, I go sailing!

[steep tusk]

That question assumes boating, which is quite relaxing, is miserable.

[lusty hill]

takes too long

40 minute boat trip to my nearest swamp

need to get more iron

[glad current]

Serpent hunting

That'll spice up any sea voyage

[zealous rover]

Activate the moder power

The wind is by far my biggest enemy

[steep tusk]

Building closer to swamp also reduces travel time.

Also just boating back once you have cleared the entire thing instead of doing multiple trips.

Portal all non-iron things every time you need to refresh Rested buff and sail back a single time with all iron in boat.

[zealous rover]

I never build iron armor because why would you spend that much iron on something you'll replace quickly?

[lusty hill]

???

didnt I say swamp?

[zealous rover]

[lusty hill]

I'm still looking the swamp boss

[zealous rover]

We commit a minor amount of trolling

[lusty hill]

[stoic trench]

You can change the world modifiers to allow teleporting metals if you find it cumbersome

[lusty hill]

no thats fine

I can carry tons back

its just a long trip (also getting it away from the shore can be troubling too)

[glad current]

True

I've found it's easier to reverse away from the shore, then turn once you have some space around you

[zealous rover]

The no teleporting metal thing is quite annoying, by the time you get stone portal who cares

[lusty hill]

also carting it back

Im gonna make a smoother path for that'

[steep tusk]

Iron Armor is Padded Armor 😏

[zealous rover]

Pretty much

[spare ravine]

I make iron armor because I think it looks awesome

also it makes working in the swarm trivial

and considering how easy it is to extract iron from said swamp, spending 105 iron on it is little

Its also neat to have around if you are at the mountain, die, and your puppy armor is stuck in some forsaken hole

[tacit breach]

I get so much iron anyways, the iron for the armor ends up being a small percentage of it.

[steep tusk]

I build it later for my collection room.

[tacit breach]

I use old gear to just decorate my walls etc... I typically put my armors in a row. Mostly just in case I need to do death runs I don't think I can pull off naked.

[full mesa]

Black goo

Take a swim :DD

[quiet beacon]

do mushrooms respawn?

or is there a way to farm them?

[drowsy crane]

Yeah they respawn, mark large clusters on your map to revisit 👍

[quiet beacon]

thank you

[drowsy crane]

No worries

[faint osprey]

yes, every 4 hours

[gilded viper]

Hello

[drowsy crane]

Hello, this is the help channel, post here if you need help/are helping.

[gilded viper]

yes i was typing 😄
i need help with adding admin to my dedicated server
I dont adding my STEAMid in admin.txt in irongate valheim folder

but it doesnt work or u need to do something else

[drowsy crane]

I'm not too familiar, but there can only be one admin I believe.

Or "host/owner"

[gilded viper]

yes one ID and its mine there 🙂 but it says when i try to use console that i dont have admin

i checked steamid few times and its properly typed

[drowsy crane]

Ah, I don't know enough to help, but maybe posing the question in #dedicated-server could result in a quicker answer.

[gilded viper]

ok will do (done that too :P) still thank u for ur time 🙂

[frosty frost]

Just in case, do you want to add the admin for them to use commands like spawn for example?

[gilded viper]

yes

we have oremines mod for example and soemtines u need to spawn location by hand

[frosty frost]

Then sadly that Is not possible, those commands are availible only to host/owner of the world.

Tho if you ask in #mods-discussion there may be some workaround

[gilded viper]

wait but dedicated server is on MY MACHINE (second machine) xD

but will do ask 🙂 thank u

[frosty frost]

Then you might be able to use the commands on that other machine, tho i am not 100% sure 🤔

[gilded viper]

yes but i think u may be right cuz its diff steam profile which game dediccated starts on then steam i use to play (had issue with same steam acc to play game and start server)
but by accident i saw (the thing u said u can be right) there are mdos like devcommands etc oin thunderstore WHICH helps with admins thingies

or i am just plain super noob cuz we have ... experienvce with valheim for like 2 days

[quiet beacon]

Is there a way to completely disable item drops on death? I already did this(picture), but I still lose everything I haven't equipped.

[pallid lance]

I dont think so, death penalty is only for skill points

[quiet beacon]

I know that isn’t the intended way to play, but I just find it very unmotivating

[quiet beacon]

Ok, thanks for the info

[pallid lance]

you could find mod for this (if exists)

[tawny phoenix]

Could be wrong but pretty confident that the lowest death penalty setting is no skill loss/no item loss

[quiet beacon]

I still lose everything except the items I have equipped

[tawny phoenix]

Interesting, I play on Xbox and could swear it was no loss of anything on the lowest setting. You play with any mods that may mess with things??

[quiet beacon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tawny phoenix]

Can’t argue that. I’ve only really done the lowered skill loss settings. I’ve always thought the skill reduction was too much on the normal setting

[steep tusk]

Given the game isn't balanced around skills, curious:

How is reduction of a purely free stat bonus ever "too much"? 🤔

[ocean iron]

With higher death penalties inventory and/or equipment is destroyed, instead dropped at a tombstone. I've been playing recently with the "Hardcore" death penalty. Risk of losing everything does make the game quite terrifying at times, but at least there is no need for corpse run.

[thorny turtle]

Ok what the hell have devs done to the game, my pc is crashing after ten seconds in, never did this before, I'm talking full pc freeze

[frosty frost]

No major updates since September 🤔

Are you perhaps using Vulkan and have AMD graphics?

[thorny turtle]

I'm using Vulkan but I have NVIDIA

[steep tusk]

Try not using Vulkan?

Romulan better.

[frosty frost]

Hmm, i would try to switch to the other launch option just in case

[frosty frost]

-# Kinda the same thing cough cough

[steep tusk]

HERESY 😏

[thorny turtle]

Crashed again, I monitored the temperature while in-game and my graphic card was just over 50° soooo wtf

[frosty frost]

Hmm... Using any mods?

[thorny turtle]

No

[shy hollow]

My games fan sound like jet when playing this game

[thorny turtle]

My friend just did a clean install on HIS pc and his game crashed too... something happening?

[shy hollow]

3060 ti

[thorny turtle]

Nah ain't no way, there's something horribly wrong with Valheim today
Maybe the game files over on Steam servers

[hybrid gazelle]

I was playing a valheim run with my friends via thunderstore. I opened it via steam by mistake. Now after loading it back the normal way. Everything that was modded is now despawned. Is there anything I can do to revert back? I dont understand why this has happened. I tried to reload a backup the game makes and its still the same. All modded ocntent is removed.....

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-issues might be able to help 🤔

[hybrid gazelle]

Ill try

I have read something about you need to revert both char and world saves? Might that help perhaps. Not heard anything from mod channel.

[frosty frost]

Well, we here really dont know pretty much anything about mods, so the mod channels are your only hope i am afraid 😅

[hybrid gazelle]

I have just see somewhere that the backup needs to be for both the char and the world. I have just gone to a backup and done this and ive only lost an hour rather than the whole save so I will call that a win 🙂

[crystal aspen]

Guys how are these dishes called?

[steep tusk]

Lox Meat Pie
Fish Wraps
Blood Pudding

[crystal aspen]

I only have the first one

I have cauldron level 3

[steep tusk]

Ok?

[crystal aspen]

Are these really the best against yagluth?

[steep tusk]

No?
Best is subjecthive.

Food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat
Go to the Configurations tab and look at Plains.
You will see the top options for each stat spread.
Then you can decide which one you, personally, find to be the best.

[crystal aspen]

holy crap, this is a lot of info

[steep tusk]

That's why I made the Configurations tab. Quick reference for people who don't care about all the excess information 😁

-# Also that is nothing compared to the blocking sheet.

[tired root]

By that time you could have cauldron at lvl 4. What upgrades have you crafted?

[coarse relic]

Yoo I need advice on a good performance settings

[pallid lance]

also @crystal aspen remember food isn't only thing you should work on, you also need good armour and technique yo not die 😂

parry/block, or dodge playstyle?

[coarse relic]

@tired root

[tired root]

This might help. https://youtu.be/0kPzh98xq5M?si=BSir2o6cD6AhrSsl

[steep tusk]

Food is the most important stat in the game.

Especially given how much it affects blocking.

[pallid lance]

true, but you need the rest to survive too

parry my beloved

[steep tusk]

I mean.. armor is irrelevant if you are blocking/parrying.

So weapon, shield, food, yes.

[pallid lance]

it gives you some safety net

[steep tusk]

Crutch. 😉

[pallid lance]

also players are having fun with this page

mistlands gjall page

[steep tusk]

Gjall spawns are rare?? Could have fooled me.

[pallid lance]

check the 3rd condition

[steep tusk]

Raids don't count because they are forced spawns.

[frosty frost]

That they spawn during raid?

[willow carbon]

Anyone see a swamp there? I've been looking for IRL days

[tacit breach]

I wouldn't say they are even rare, let alone very rare. Granted, I run into them a lot less often than seekers, but still, I run into them rather often.

[frosty frost]

Try to explore in one of the cardinal directions 🙂 you will encounter some swamps eventually

[quasi vault]

They seem to spawn on par with seeker soldiers, trolls, etc. All the big creatures which I assume also have the very rare tag

[frosty frost]

Tbh the clasification of rareness is kind of inconsistent i noticed, i do not even what % is what rarity.

[tacit breach]

I at least hear them every game day I am in Mistlands. Whether or not I find them can be a different story, but I usually find them. So not my definition of rare, let alone very rare.

[quasi vault]

I don't think anything classify as very rare

Unless starred

[tacit breach]

Starred gjall I would call very rare. I go around a lot at night, and I have not seen a starred gjall in a very long time.

[quasi vault]

I saw one today, it had been a while, I shared screenshot

[tacit breach]

I have not seen one for at least 3 play throughs in a row.

[frosty frost]

Starred gjals spawn only at night, so they are are bit harder to encounter, but the spawn chance may or may not be high during night

[tacit breach]

I know, which is why I mentioned I do run around a lot at night.

[quasi vault]

I don't even use bilebags but that 2 star gjall which nearly killed me dropping just 1 tilted me

[tacit breach]

Uh, yeah, dropping just 1 is a bit bogus.

[lunar blaze]

are the bear paws or bronze weapons better? or is there something at this point thats better than both?

[dry yew]

what weapon should i get around mountain or swamp age besides iron

[spare ravine]

You gotta go way further than that. Also youll know when you hit them swamps.

[dry yew]

does anyone know

[subtle parrot]

I used the bear paws up through the mountains and then upgraded to another weapon, but the bronze weapons are good too, use whichever you prefer

[spare ravine]

if you say swamp weapons other than iron, thats about all the weapons from there

[lunar blaze]

what about armor? i can choose from bear, troll, or bronze armor

[spare ravine]

As for mountain weapons, just get the better version of your favourite weapon if theres any.

[subtle parrot]

I used bear armor up until mountain as well, troll is similar but different perks, bronze is slower and feels heavy but you can be a little bit more tanky

[spare ravine]

The armor difference from bronze is significant. It can really turn a difficult battle into a breeze.

I facetanked the elder with bronze armor. I dont think I could have done that with the other sets.

[subtle parrot]

I will admit it can be difficult in swamp with the bear set though, starred archer sneak attacks hurt

[dry yew]

What arrows should i use for draugr fang bow

[steep tusk]

Bear Paw is 25-37 Slash, costing 6 Stamina per swing.
Bronze Axe is 40-55 Slash, costing 8 Stamina per swing.
Bronze Sword is 35-53 Slash, costing 8 Stamina per swing.

Decide which you think is "better" 🤷‍♂️

[dry yew]

Im in mountains biome age

[steep tusk]

Frost Arrow is the best arrow in the game.

[dry yew]

Smth easier to craft dawg

[spare ravine]

I use wood arrows all the time because it means more shots per enemies meaning more bow skill gains

also I cannot be arsed into farming feathers

[steep tusk]

Then phrase your question as "What is the simplest to craft arrow that does less damage?"

[lunar blaze]

bet bet i guess i gotta get to farming bears. since faster weapon means i can dodge more easily and stuff

[spare ravine]

for moder, try fire arrows, I guess

I used poison arrows because I had a bunch and they hurt a lot

[mystic atlas]

I set one of my servers to easy mode because I am alone and just want a more chill environment going into the mistlands... but in 30 min play I encounter more enemies and even two one star trolls in a row, I have never encountered a one star troll on normal mode even... how? It seems like there is a bug with that setting that it is giving me the opposite...? What is going on? lol

[dry yew]

whats the best weapon in the game lol

[glad current]

Your fists of fury!! 👊

[steep tusk]

Debug sword.

[spare ravine]

my favourite weapon is the berserkir axes

[hard zinc]

Hello friends, im looking into setting up a server, would like it to be a live 24/7 server, can anyone recommend a server host?

[vital surge]

Anyone know why my campfires keep getting “put out” and then lights back up without anyone interacting with it?? It’s properly vented and covered

[glad current]

Will you be installing any mods?

[mystic atlas]

sometimes it's too exposed

with wind

[vital surge]

fully covered

[mystic atlas]

inside a house? I am almost wanting to say it might still not be vented enough, with a high and narrow chimney like that

[vital surge]

its always worked for me like this

[mystic atlas]

hmmm odd...

the same amount of windows in the house I assume? dunno then

[unique wigeon]

where are valhiems settings stored? i dont see any options files in the appdata section, and im trying to migrate from an older windows install

[vital surge]

its just our starter base so we dont even have windows lol, we just threw this together to have a spawn point but the fire keeps going out so we cant sleep half the time, even fully stocked with fuel

[unique wigeon]

i just wanted to make sure my mouse sensitivity is the same as it was previously lol

omg valheims settings is stored in the registry... whyyyyyy lol

[mystic atlas]

i still think it's a venting issues... play around with the placement of the fire, it might be slightly different from previous. Or add a window behind it or something...

[steep tusk]

My guess is the smoke builds up above it and chokes it out.
Basing this guess on how the second photo doesn't have any smoke particles coming out of the chimney.

[tacit breach]

I agree. Its too low and enclosed. It needs to be at least 2 meters higher, preferably 4, and giving it another outlet to breathe via wouldn't hurt.

[remote tangle]

it seems like the same distance applies for like, if a character would take smoke damage at the spot where the campfire is, then the campfire does too if that makes any sense?

so it needs a lot of clearance and ventilation on all sides especially above

I think it might be because of that rock clipping into it, and maybe too close to wall

and roof might be too close but I'm on mobile so it's kinda hard to see

[jade olive]

From your picture it looks like the fire is more forward then your chimney. The top is ok but the width could also be a part of the problem. The smoke goes up but cant tell if there's a small block or just an angle it need to take to vent out with the small size the smoke is building up. I'd use a 2x2 all around instead of the 1x1 and then move the fire back so the smoke can go straight up.

[young oak]

does anyone know how to use exploremap but only 1000m out

[steep tusk]

Step 1: Ask in a single channel.

[young oak]

my bad

[lapis terrace]

there is no such feature in vanilla valheim

[young oak]

its exploremap 0 0 1000
i figured it out

[drowsy crane]

I'd love to see what that results in if you want to take a screenshot 😮

[young oak]

this is 10500m on a world thats 45000m
10500 is vanilla world size

[drowsy crane]

Oh wow that's interesting, also that seed is very condensed looking 👀

[young oak]

riverheim mod this is what the whole thing looks like

[drowsy crane]

Ah that makes sense

[young oak]

generating 6 world to pick from on my next play through on a server with friends. getting about 2 generated every 2 hours or so.

[quiet beacon]

Can I get stone buildings before the second boss?

[frosty frost]

Only if you venture to 3rd biome

[quiet beacon]

Thanks

[steady viper]

I'm just realizing you could potentially build stone walls before even fighting the elder if you just find a couple of scrap iron pieces, which, statistically, could mean fighting 6 oozers in the worst case scenario...

that's very useful to know

[meager vale]

Or you can just throw a chair down in front of a crypt and squeeze through without a key.

[steady viper]

I'm aware, but I meant "without exploits"

hunting oozers isn't a very efficient way to get scrap iron anyway, but when you're playing hardcore and need to prepare ahead of time for the inevitable stronger raids, having access to stone buildings before getting raided by draugers or trolls is very useful

[drowsy crane]

It's also worth noting that if you just, avoid killing a troll, you'll never have their raid activate.

They're too useful for copper mining to kill anyways.

[quasi vault]

My priority on the first 3 days of a playthrough is to kill 10 trolls

[drowsy crane]

Cool 😆

[quasi vault]

Then you just make sure you are ready for troll raids before defeating the elder

But rushing decent armor while also mapping out the forest just make sense at the start

[drowsy crane]

I usually create a perimeter of watchtowers that have crafting tables in them, so raids start a bit further outside of my walls, that way I have time to prepare and meet them before they reach any walls.

[quasi vault]

I make zero defense for raids even on very hard and raids maxed out, I just make sure to go out in front of the base so we fight away from any of my structure

[drowsy crane]

My bases are usually very large in scale, and often I'd see them bashing at my gate by the time I'd reach the it, so I don't really get the choice to meet them in most scenarios. 😛

[quasi vault]

It's inevitable at one point

[drowsy crane]

It's not with watchtowers 👍

[quasi vault]

I mean to have a large base, with all the stuff we unlock past the mountain

[drowsy crane]

Oh I've seen some very condensed bases to be fair.

My Australian friend insists on one building bases, and just adds floors when necessary.

[quasi vault]

He must have played satisfactory

[drowsy crane]

I can't be sure, but they also play the very same way in Minecraft and No Man's Sky. 😅

[lapis terrace]

Valheim don't have "floor adjustments" 🤔

[drowsy crane]

I don't think anyone said floor adjustments.

[livid pebble]

What should I do if, after connecting to a friend, their world starts to lag significantly after a while (we play with mods). Will the lag be reduced if my friend creates a server? (They have a fairly powerful computer.)

[steep tusk]

#mods-issues / #mods-discussion

[hybrid gazelle]

When my friends are on a boat and not sat down they fly off the back, is this just bad dysync?

[steep tusk]

No, they need to sit down.

[hybrid gazelle]

How do you do water based stuff if you cant stand up?

[steep tusk]

Define "water based stuff"?

[hybrid gazelle]

sharks serpants 🙂

[steep tusk]

Stop the boat?

[hybrid gazelle]

I swear we used to be able to do stuff while moving

like 2 years ago or so

[tepid jolt]

Yes, it most likely is. It's perfectly possible to fight serpents while standing on a moving boat in multiplayer, but there needs to be little to no lag.

[steady viper]

when you encounter a serpent, everybody jumps ship so it stops moving and you can fight the serpent swiftly 😂

even with a karve and alone, you can still kill one before your ship is wrecked, so the more you are the faster it should be (assuming you don't miss your shots lol)

[pure mango]

When you kill a sepent, can you pick up the sinkables just by proximity or do you need to actively press E to pick up?

I've tried using a melee weapon for the killing blow then jumping in but it didnt help

[glad current]

Proximity but they sink quickly

[pure mango]

I dont know how I even did this before, I tried the harpoon but then I run out of stamina

[spare ravine]

I jump on the serpent's head when I'm about to deliver the killing blow.

[crystal aspen]

Whats wrong, why isnt it blue? i mounted iron pillars

[solemn osprey]

Nothing will be blue unless mounted on ground, or for wooden things if mounted on stone structures. If that durability doesnt look right, check that the chain of iron bars extends to the ground.

[steep tusk]

Orange is fine. Nothing is wrong.

[tired root]

You might want to have the iron wood support reaching to the ground.

[lone scarab]

Once you've found a place where serpents spawn you can hunt them at night (and even better at night time when it's stormy), they will chase your boat fairly close to shore. You can shoot them a few times to weaken them, once close to the shore you can drag them with the harpoon onto land, and if you eat a stamina food & use maybe 1 stamina potion, you can secure the kill on land.

If you have any frost based weapons to slow them then even better! Happy hunting 🙂

PS. dont be afraid to stamina potion and then Re-harpoon

[stoic breach]

Do you have to kill the elder to make a base under his platform?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

But summoning him after building may be ill-advised.

[kind light]

I'm getting relatively frequent crashes on linux. had about 5-10 over a 6 hour period when playing multiplayer. no other player crashed or disconnected in that time

is this a known bug, something I can mitigate, or unknown?

no mods enabled, happens at random times

whenever I reconnect I'm wherever I was at last save, with my items back then, which has meant we've had to spawn in items that went missing

[stoic breach]

I think if the base is fully under it will be fine

Also can smelters be underground and indoors?

[solemn osprey]

Yes, but they need a lot of clearance overhead for the smoke to vent, or they'll smother and not smelt as efficiently.

[steep tusk]

Yeah they need to vent.

[stoic breach]

How much? Like open sky above or tall ceiling

[spare ravine]

fun fact about ironwood, you can build corewood beams on it to "dress" it

[steep tusk]

Treat them like they have a basic fireplace on top of them. That's what they do in terms of smoke.

[past tartan]

There is enough space below elder's platform for smelters if you dig it out to maximum depth

For the smoke as well I mean

[spare ravine]

are you on steam?

because if you havent already, I would check file integrity

[grave bobcat]

help me this roof

[frosty frost]

You will need better materials for this one

[grave bobcat]

aw dangg

[frosty frost]

Try getting some core wood from pines in black forest 😄

[lunar blaze]

do items despawn if you leave the game?

[tired root]

No, they despawn after an hour is passed in game when they are not in spawnproof area or over 2m deep water.

[lunar blaze]

if i get off the game will it despawn tho? cuz it does that in minecraft for example

[tired root]

They don't despawn when logging off. Edited my reply to specify in game.

[lunar blaze]

ok bet thank you

[tired root]

To be clear: during you playing when IRL hour has passed they will despawn in those 2 conditions mentioned above.

So 2 game days when you don't sleep (1 day cycle being 30 minutes).

[kind light]

Oh so that's why the 150 greydwarf eyes I dumped in a lake haven't despawned

[kind light]

Yes on steam, I'll do so next time thanks

[remote tangle]

i hope the answer is no but now i need to know ...do bears ever drop more than 4 feet? if you have the loot drops raised and kill a star one?

[tired root]

By feet I assume you mean paws. In normal 1x setting non star drops 1 paw, one star 2 paws and two star 4 paws.

So raising resource multiplier will cause starred bears drop more than 4 paws.

[remote tangle]

......so sorry yes i meant paws

[tired root]

No worries.

But kinda like how starred ||asksvin|| drop more than 1 ||bladder|| on death.

[remote tangle]

i have no clue what that is yet

[tired root]

It's a mob in ||Ashlands||.

[quiet beacon]

Does hiding weapons do something?

[frosty frost]

Like putting them on your back? It removes the movement penalty and you can get both weapon and shield out at once

[quiet beacon]

ok thanks

[static flower]

do you guys recommend any mods for my first playthrough

[iron gate]

Is the ||bear enemy|| drop rates for its head super duper low or am I just getting horrible luck? My teammates and I have killed at least sixty, and we have one head

[steep tusk]

No.

[steep tusk]

Random is as random does.

If your world was made after the update, Haldor has one.

[iron gate]

Oh delightful, thank you for your help

[static flower]

thx,also on more question how can i prevent other people from remove building parts with the hammer remove option,like is there a way to say thats my base and you cannot remove it with the hammer

[steep tusk]

Play only with people you trust.
Otherwise I do not believe it is possible until Ashlands.

[static flower]

maybe mod?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[steep tusk]

Vanilla way is shield generators.
But honestly, trust is the best option. If you cannot trust the people on your server to the point you need to modify it -- better to just kick them off the server imo.

[static flower]

can i build just a ward

[steep tusk]

Yes. I am equating wards with shields, my bad.
Do you get wards earlier? (Sincerely, a solo player)

[true steeple]

Wards are available from black forest

[steep tusk]

Ah.

Trust should be available from the main menu 🤷‍♂️

[true steeple]

Wards don't work very well anyway since players can just destroy things with their weapons

[umbral estuary]

Wondering if I can invite a friend to a game I started as a solo? Can I make it online after the fact?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[umbral estuary]

Sweeeeet

[static flower]

how do i know if timescales is working i wanna put 0 cause i just leave the game but dont want time to progress but i am not sure thats working

i dont get any feedback

[true steeple]

If you want the timescale at 0 why not pause the game?

[static flower]

how im new

[true steeple]

esc

[static flower]

ok

[static flower]

if i want timescale 0.2

how will i know i applied it,im getting this

[true steeple]

have you used the command devcommands to enable cheats?

You'll know you applied it because everything will be slower

[static flower]

ok can i make the time slow or not moving but me moving normally

[true steeple]

No, the player has the same time scale as everything else

[static flower]

first of all cause im kinda new does it matter if time moves

do i loose anything if days pass by and me not doing anything

[true steeple]

If you leave the game running while at your base there's a risk of enemies raiding while you're afk

[tired root]

Unless turning raids off from world modifiers.

[steady viper]

or spawn-proofing your base in a 100m radius

or just building your base on a tiny island

[static flower]

so nothing else like on day 50 this event happens or anything like that

[true steeple]

The total amount of days passed doesn't matter

[spare ravine]

after day 68, something funny happens

[glad current]

Noice

[pallid lance]

you've seen nothing @lapis terrace

[vital surge]

I was letting my friend make it, he used the half blocks, I usually use a full wall. We fixed it last night with a full wall, the way I normally do it and it works fine now🤣

[lapis terrace]

I know nothing...

[frosty frost]

Hmm, so your name is Jon?

[thorny turtle]

I don't understand. My friend did a clean Windows 11 install with all new components, downloaded Nvidia Drivers, Ryzen Master driver for the processor and the AMD Chipset packs...
We tried Dx11, Dx12, Vulcan and he crashes after a few seconds in the game

Valheim gives Unity error and the player.log doesn't give any real indication of an error like "unable to load x"

For the few seconds or minutes that the game is on it's completely smooth so it's definitely not a hardware problem... He has an RTX 3070 with Ryzen 5 5500 GT

[pallid lance]

cuz Windows breaks all the time, rly ill made system

they somehow manage to make it worse by the year

[thorny turtle]

Yeah I'm 90% sure it's a Windows 11 issue

[pallid lance]

tbh I am thinking that if I have to change my laptop I will choose linux

[terse perch]

im just staying w10

[lunar blaze]

is valheim map the same everytime? or randomized like minecraft type of thing

[tacit breach]

Random.

It's all taken from a huge master map, so you may recognize mountains and pieces of your new map.

[true steeple]

That's only used for terrain height, everything else is random for each seed

[tacit breach]

Things can still look very familiar, including island shapes.

[jade olive]

Glad to hear the pic it was hard to tell it was a 1x1 or not so I took a guess.

[glass ice]

i reached swamp and im getting my ahh beat, any tips?

[tired root]

How badly "ahh beat" you get?

How's your foods and gear?

[glass ice]

there was this super saiyan mosquito that one shot me

[tired root]

Oh, that's not swamp resident, they spawn in plains.
But you have gained the Rite of Passage pt. 2. 🫡

[tacit breach]

Thats not swamp. That's plains.

[remote stream]

Hey, is there a community server with active playerbase? i am new here

[frosty frost]

Look in #1024264966712340510 😄

[glass ice]

you mean that biome with yellow grass

[tired root]

All servers are hosted by players or by 3rd party as "dedicated servers", but look at the channel Asatru mentioned. 👍

[tired root]

Yes, yellow terrain means it's plains.

5th biome in order, so stay away at that state.

[glass ice]

yeah cuz it was weird that the green guys weren't that strong but that mosquito one tapped me

ohh i see

[tired root]

You're not the first, nor the last, to accidentally enter near plains with Black forest tier equipment.

Hence the "Rite of Passage pt. 2".

[glass ice]

im trying to find the dungeon of the swamp

2 swamp biomes and no luck

is there a way to locate that structure easily?

[tacit breach]

Nope.

[tired root]

The crypts have noticeable entrance with green torches.

[glass ice]

im just unlucky i guess

[tired root]

Quite square looking dark stone structure.

[tacit breach]

You just have to keep exploring swamps.

[tired root]

There can be lots of swamps without any, but some big areas can have plenty.

[glass ice]

yeah i found the 3rd one

im exploring it tonight, i just found weird not getting any dungeons

[tacit breach]

Narrow swamps tend to not have any, or only 1 or 2.

[tired root]

It can happen, very dependant on where the seed produces them.

[glass ice]

k, if i don't find any on this swamp i'm sailing farther away

[tacit breach]

Find the swamp trader and it should have a few in her swamp.

[glass ice]

k

[tacit breach]

The swamp boss' swamp is usually decent as well, but I have also had bad ones with him as well.

[quasi vault]

When sailing it's easy to tell if a swamp goes deep just by looking at the land from afar, if you see a ton of small bumps then it's a good swamp to find many crypts, as people said, stay away from thin strip, they are mostly never worth exploring

[frosty frost]

The boss if a good indicator the swamp is actually there tho 😄 so its still worth exploring

[tacit breach]

I think every swamp is worth exploring.

You can also find mud piles.

Those have 4 to 9 iron per pile.

[teal prism]

If you're one of the european countires receiving extended support I dont see an issue staying on w10 but if you are in the US id recommend upgrading to 11. Anything connected to the internet is already vulnerable, using 10 without security updates is inviting trouble.

[tacit breach]

Even in the US you can extend to next year. I just did it a couple of days ago.

For free.

[stable jay]

Hi, what are the conditions for grey dwarfs to spawn? i made 2x2 are with blue standing brazier's but they are not spawning at all 🙁 i tried making a roof, different highs of floor, destroying all campfires and workbenches.. im clueluess,

[spare ravine]

Maybe remove the blue standing brazier? Im not sure what you are trying to do here.

Ah, wait, I see the corrupted thing.

I never played with those, so I dont know.

[steep tusk]

Eating bear meat in the Plains 😭

[stable jay]

eating leftovers while building

[steep tusk]

😭😭😭

That's what Feasts are for.

[stable jay]

i mean yeah, but why u care about food bro 😄

its enough for me

[steep tusk]

We aren't related.

And I maintain the food sheet. So it is always the first thing I notice in screenshots.

[drowsy crane]

Pretty off-topic though, did you figure out how to get it working @stable jay ?

[stable jay]

no, trying to :/

[drowsy crane]

I'm clueless with this stuff, but some buildables prevent enemy spawn, I would assume that's what's preventing it.

[stable jay]

only thing thats left is my bed. 😄

[drowsy crane]

That could be it

[stable jay]

they are spawning, when i remove the floor

but i need them to spawn in 2x2 area and that is too small or idk

[drowsy crane]

Ah, maybe find a way to make more room?(Height wise) It could just be in the way.

[stable jay]

i had same farm in diff location

but this one doesnt works for some reason

[drowsy crane]

Try getting the floors a bit higher, they might be blocking spawner nodes.

[stable jay]

already did but thanks for tip 🙂

[drowsy crane]

No worries, hopefully someone has a better idea of what's happening. Sorry I couldn't be of much help!

[peak halo]

I'm trying to make a .. well.. simple roof. Any tip what am I doing wrong? The top is full red, so cant fit the pieces to the missing spots. Do I just need many many more pillars from the ground to make it work or is there a trick?

[stoic trench]

Looks like you might be pushing the limits of your current build materials 🤔

[steep tusk]

Build smaller until you hit Swamp.
Then you unlock the ability to use stone. And ironwood gives you the highest structural points of any piece.

[glad current]

Some core wood pillars in the middle instead of standard wood might help you get those last few pieces

[remote tangle]

they have to have ground touching the spawner and a small amount of ground to spawn them on

[peak halo]

I probably spent way too much time with this.. but now I am not touching it at all anymore 😛

[remote tangle]

I really don't know all the conditions tho, I wanna find out
My friend has made greydwarf farms a few times with hearths and having the spawner on a tiny pillar so they drop down onto the hearths and die

[frosty frost]

The spawner will keep floating even if nothing is supporting it 🙂

[remote tangle]

it'll float ye but it stopped spawning things when there wasn't ground touching it

[glad current]

Incorrect

[frosty frost]

Weird, when i make the farms its always floating and working

[remote tangle]

whoa whaaa
so I wonder what we were doing that made them stop then

[glad current]

Something else must have prevented the spawn because I’ve made plenty just floating over an open pit of wolves

[frosty frost]

Well, i usually really have just a hole and spawner, thats as simple as it gets xD so no idea

[remote tangle]

oh how does that work?

do they just spawn and fall down?

[frosty frost]

They drop to hole, i kill them 🙂

[remote tangle]

lol nice

[frosty frost]

-# They actually spawn at the bottom, not drop

[solemn osprey]

Is there a workbench nearby preveting spawns?

[frosty frost]

Spawnproofing doesent affect greydwarf nests 🙂

[remote tangle]

ohhhhhhhhhhh okay then that's why ours needed it
the floor is covered in hearths so to get them to walk onto the hearths ....they need to spawn on a tiny spot at the spawner and then slide down

[terse perch]

dont care cause i don't put anything of value on my machines sooo

[true hare]

Is there a way to back up my save so I can invite strangers to check out my base with risk of them wrecking thjngs?

[clever juniper]

you can keep save a copy of the world locally or in the game you can construct and activate wards to protect any buildings from being altered or access to any chests

if you are playing on PC/Steam, your worlds are saved in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata*youruserid*\892970\remote\worlds

In there, you will need to save a copy of the database file and fwl file to be safe and save that in your local documents or somewhere else.

[lunar blaze]

can someone help me with building? in minecraft i just build a big square with wood and move on forever. but in this game i cant do that cause of roof and physics and shit. how can i roof this house easily

[tired root]

You need to support your building with better material, at that point corewood is stronger material to support bit higher buildings than regular wood.

[lunar blaze]

irdk what that means. what am i doing with corewood

[tired root]

Corewood is gained by cutting down pine trees in black forest.

[lunar blaze]

i said what am i doing with core wood for the house. i have it already.

[tired root]

Ah, pardon me.

[lunar blaze]

i just want the roof ccovered to work as a house. i dont care about looks or anything, just space basically

[tired root]

So, you can make poles that reach from ground level up to the roof so the roof gets supported.

Or you can build a frame on corners, or combination of both.

[peak zenith]

put a tall pillar in the middle

[steep tusk]

Build smaller until you hit Swamp.
That's when you unlock stone building and the ironwood beam which has the highest structural points in the game.

[tired root]

Like that, but make sure the pole reach to the ground (when the color is blue it has the ground level support).

[lunar blaze]

ive just recently reached swamp and found scrap iron, i havent transferred it to my base yet cuz lots of walking. should i go get the iron first and just go straight to the iron pole?

[lunar blaze]

ok bet

[steep tusk]

If you bring back 2 iron you can build the stonecutter, allowing you to use stone.

Ironwood poles are the reason you will never stop needing iron 😄

[tired root]

That high building is doable with corewood too, but iron wood is stronger support like Sevrahn said.

[steep tusk]

Stone floors also just nicer. And the stone building lets you build the Hearth, which is a better fireplace.

[lunar blaze]

i see i see. ok but after i put the pole in the middle. then what? cuz i would just put roofing all over the top? do i need to use beams or something? idk

[steep tusk]

Orange is fine.

[past tartan]

One way you can do it is to put up a bunch of random poles that will touch the ceiling you are building. Then put in the roof. Then once the roof is in place, you can put in different poles that are more properly placed and remove the old ones.

[tired root]

That looks good, orange is still okay.

[peak halo]

This is a 7 wide 9 long house with basic wood poles except 1 corewood at the front/middle ish, but I am fairly sure that is not needed, normal wood would work too.

[lunar blaze]

thank you for the help everyone. got it now

[solemn osprey]

Basic premise of structural stability is the more build pieces away from the ground something is, the less structural integrity it has. Corewood poles are large singular pieces, so you can make support poles out of them to support the highest parts of your build.

Before the corewood pole your highest roof pieces were probably 6-7 build pieces away from the ground, now that they're touching the corewood poles they're 3-4 pieces away from ground.

This is a simplified explanation; there's more complexity in the system. But its a principle that can make building a lot more predictable.

[rough stag]

yoo

does anybody knows if mobs can spawn inside of a big fortress for example?

cuz we have built this huge fortress and is right next to the ocean in the plains and we have it surrounded so goblins cant enter but they still manage to spawn inside?

[steep tusk]

Did you use buildings that prevent spawns to cover the entire area of your inside?

Like workbenches, for example.

[past tartan]

Is there any penalty for a roof that ends above your living space? As in the living space is covered by roofing, but the eaves of the roof are over the living area instead of the edge of the building. Like a series of NNNNN roof tiles

[spare vault]

Odin appears every Wednesday to issue fines for such transgressions in accordance with the CC&Rs and other relevant HOA bylaws.

[thorn spire]

as long as your living space is completely covered and enclosed, there shouldn't be. It would suck though if you're home resting and step under the one pixel square that isn't covered by roof. you'd have to restart your rested buff then.

[whole socket]

Curious if you all could help me with an issue i seem to be having.
At my plains farm i keep getting a stagger glitch and it keeps happening. This doesn't happen at all at my main base and it's a huge island base.
I did rasie a small section, just to even it out. And now it's driving me nuts. I keep losing barley cause it stagger's me and so my placement doesn't get placed right.

And I do mean a SMALL raise of land. Like a small section.

There is a furling stone thing about 60 yards away (not cleared out) and about 80 yards was a dverger camp, but I cleaned that one out.

[steep tusk]

Mods?

[whole socket]

Nope xbox player

[steep tusk]

#xbox-bugs-discussion might be the best place to find an answer. 🤷‍♂️

Normally I disdain posting in multiple channels but in this case it is warranted.

[whole socket]

Oh great thanks didn't see that one

[steep tusk]

Should help if it is an xbox-specific problem.
Otherwise just give it some time for people in the different timezones to wake up and read this to see if they have ideas.

[quiet beacon]

What do I need to summon the elder

[stiff smelt]

Three ancient seeds

[quiet beacon]

thanks

[steep tusk]

When you look at his altar, there are ancient seeds carved into the top of each pillar.

[quiet beacon]

Interesting

[tired root]

Also each altar gives you slight hint what kind of item should be sacrificed.

[quiet beacon]

ok

[stable jay]

hi, following yesterday message with fix, i just made hole on the other side and it works for some reason 😄 😄

[crystal aspen]

I have a question, what do u guys do if u die in mistlands or ashlands, like going there nakes is not a good idea i suppose

Im about to enter the mistlands so i wanna know what to do in case I die

[steep tusk]

Don't carry all of your food. Have backups if your best food available for retrieval.
Food being the most important stat in the game means if you need to do a corpse run with the previous-tier armor set it will be good enough to get your stuff back and get out.

This also helps with inventory.
Eat before you leave then carry one of each of your 3 foods. That way when you eat later in the day you get the 3 slots back.

[crystal aspen]

Also which forsaken power should i take to the mistlands?

[steep tusk]

On first approach? Eikthyr or Bonemass.

You will do a lot of running and jumping so Eik pays dividends, or you elect into the tankiness of Bonemass.

For corpse retrieval I would specifically recommend Bonemass.

When you get into mining and gathering, Moder can do work with the weight bump if you're using the wisp as it means you can't wear the belt.

@crystal aspen make sense?

[faint osprey]

if its your first time bonemass is the best

[steep tusk]

Best is subjecthive.

[unreal dirge]

One question about the Wooden Weapons from the last big patch: do they appear on non-open chest that are on lands already discovered before the patch?

I'm pretty sure the new combat arena set piece on the Meadows will not appear on already discovered lands, as usual. But I don't know how the loot on chests behave

[tired root]

They appear only in unexplored areas.

[thorn spire]

probably not. historically anything that has already been generated won't be updated after the patch.

[steep tusk]

Nothing you've been within 300m of has new stuff.

[unreal dirge]

That was my iniotial though too. What I don't know is if the loot on chests (or equivalent) are generated with the land or when first opened; that's why I was asking

[steep tusk]

The real question is why you can't just build the practice weapons...

[unreal dirge]

???

can't only the sword be build?

[thorn spire]

correct

the others you have to find. @steep tusk is asking why that's the case.

[steep tusk]

☝️

[unreal dirge]

Ahm, for a moment I thought she was asking me

[thorn spire]

I would think you should be able to build the wooden equivalent to any weapon as soon as you unlock the first recipe for that weapon type.

[unreal dirge]

well, tanks you all for the answers and the info. I'll have to travel more

[thorn spire]

i.e. when I get some flint and unlock the flint knife, I should 'remember' how to make a wooden knife as well.

[unreal dirge]

maybe they wanted to encourage the search on purpose? no idea. It's a pain in old worlds, but that's not new, as you said, every update had the same problem. As I said, my only doubt was when the loot on chest is generated, now I've it clear

[remote tangle]

I've seen people mention the "craft x5" option, but I've only seen that ever for bronze. does that unlock later on in the game for other items? or how do I find it?

[steady viper]

just press Shift while you're in any crafting menu

that way every recipe is x5

[remote tangle]

so you shift+click the craft button? or is it a toggle?

[steady viper]

hold it down

[remote tangle]

omg

[tired root]

Hold shift and click craft. Very useful to craft full stack of arrows with one click.

[glad current]

WHAT

[tired root]

The feature was added last year when Bog Witch came out.

[remote tangle]

I am trying this immediately when I get on, I've been spam planting onions and crafting a ridiculous amount of onion soup to level cooking

[tired root]

When you craft 5 at once the duration to make them takes 5x time but it's still just one click.

[steady viper]

I very rarely craft just one food item at a time after the update

[remote tangle]

you still get XP for all 5?

[steady viper]

yes, and each item has their individual roll for the extra craft

[tired root]

It works for all crafting stations.

[remote tangle]

awesooooome ty guys

can't wait to accidentally muscle memory craft 5 of the same weapon

[tired root]

Yeah, so for more possibilities to get extra bronze when crafting it you shift click the 1x bronze recipe, not 5x one.
-# The latter recipe has been since the launch here.

[tired root]

You'd need to carry mats for all the weapons at the same time to accidentally do that tho.

[remote tangle]

we're using a mod that lets you craft from nearby chests

[steady viper]

I always have some 40 spare bronze ingots in my inventory just in case 😏

[remote tangle]

LOL

[tired root]

Well, it still takes 5x time and you have time to react and cancel the crafting if it ever happens.

[remote tangle]

ohhhh good point lol

[steady viper]

wait, does the extra craft can happen on weapons?

[tired root]

Not anymore.

[thorn spire]

not any longer.

[steady viper]

sad

[tired root]

It was fun while it lasted.

[remote tangle]

onion soups tho

[thorn spire]

was quite the exploit for a while when some crafted two Dyrnwynn.

now if only we could dual wield them.

[tired root]

I managed to craft extra carapace shield once.

[remote tangle]

i think I've only gotten an extra non food item once with an extra bronze nail

[steady viper]

would be funny if we could dual-wield every kind of one-handed weapon

[thorn spire]

yeah, extras are tied to crafting skill, right.

[tired root]

Chances to get extras increase with higher crafting/cooking/farming levels.

[remote tangle]

pickaxes

[steady viper]

pickaxes are two-handed tools, though

[remote tangle]

oh, I was thinking just of the times I've killed greydwarves with one

maces?

[remote tangle]

how bout 2 maces, is porcupine one handed?

[tired root]

Porcy is 1h, yes.

[remote tangle]

heh
2 of them would get tangled together so awkwardly

[stoic breach]

i messed up

[spare ravine]

you have the right weapon to kill them all, though

[stoic breach]

and the draugrs?

[spare ravine]

Well it works against them too.

[lapis terrace]

just use the mace

[peak halo]

How's the game's backward compatibility? If I have a fresh save now, will that work in 1.0?

[tired root]

Old worlds generate new content in when new content patch is added, so yes.

[rocky sphinx]

guys how do i respawn Brenna with commands? I tried spawn Skeleton_Hildir 1 1 but it doesnt work

can I spawn her in the smouldering tomb?

i need to know asap please

[true steeple]

that command is working for me, did you use devcommands first?

[rocky sphinx]

i didnt, that was the problem.

got it now though

[dreamy fog]

are you able to bring tar through portals? before I waste my time

[rocky sphinx]

yes

[dreamy fog]

ok thank you

crazy realizations recently

[frosty frost]

Pretty much only metals and very few other selected things cant be brought through portals. and you will always see what can and cant be brought through portals at the items icon. 🙂

[dreamy fog]

I havent collected tar yet

need it for my buidlings apparently so imma travel and setup a portal

[frosty frost]

It unlocks build pieces, yes, you will get access to it once you make it to plains

Just keep in mind that plains are 5th biome in progression so you might want to gear up appropriately

[dreamy fog]

Im currently in mountains but man

[frosty frost]

Then you should be ok 🙂

[dreamy fog]

that tar wood looks great esp on the YouTube video im watching.

[glad current]

I have that same thought about ashwood & grausten. "Man I can't wait to get to Ashlands to get those!" and also "I will die instantly"

[frosty frost]

First time ashlands encounter can indeed be quite intense 😄
-# Tho not as much as it used to be at the beginning

[lament kiln]

The first Ashlands experience is unique

I'm actually quite bummed about Deep North coming after Ashlands. That biome should be the last due to the sheer difficulty spike and unwelcoming ambiance.

[steep tusk]

Ashlands used to be better.
Only thing I am bummed about for DN is I know it's going to start great but then people will moan incessantly until they nerf it...

[lament kiln]

The thing is, iirc they already said that DN won't be as terrifying as Ashlands is. THe whole Ashlands experience perfectly encapsulates the "this is the end of the trip and your final challenge" and I don't see Deep North one-upping it

[mortal mulch]

why i can’t find Leviathan, did he spawn?

[steep tusk]

I guess we see it differently.
War biome is just war biome. Doesn't matter what order it came in 🤷‍♂️

[frosty frost]

They spawn in the ocean 🙂 if you find sail enough you should find some

[steep tusk]

You could have put Ashlands after Plains and have Mistlands be the 8th biome (heath/damage values adjusted accordingly) and I'd still be down for it.

[lament kiln]

I get you, but what I'm talking about goes more into general aesthetics. The final level (or, in Valheims case, biome) having an imposing, unwelcoming and desolate ambiance like Ashlands transmits the feeling of "the final stretch" much better than what a calm and soothing ambiance does. Of course, they can make the Deep North be calm in a very eerie and unsettling way, which is another great way of closing in as a final challenge. But raising the bar of what Ashlands offers is going to be very difficult

[steep tusk]

If it is just an eery yet serene biome, I 100% agree with you.
But I guess we have to see. Could be that the overland is calm but the dungeons are hard af 🤷‍♂️

[lament kiln]

I did see in some video someone having the idea that maybe Deep North and Ashlands are going to be similar in difficulty, and as an idea, have the player be able to choose what biome to go after Mistlands, with Ashlands giving you the Dyrnwyn to help in the Deep North, and the Deep North giving you something to help in the Ashlands

[steep tusk]

Mini boss of the DN is Lady Reto and she's pissed you nuked her husband 😏

[lament kiln]

I'd be super happy with something like that. It would also break a bit with the segmented gameplay loop to spice things up near the end of the game

[true steeple]

We still haven't seen how seals react to being hit they could be the most threatening enemy in Valheim

[lament kiln]

Yeah, well, but having a fat seal in a christmas themed biome be the most threatening enemy in the game doesn't hit the same way as your first encounter with a 2-star Charred Warrior

Or better yet, the first time you see a Fallen Valkyrie

Seeing a Fallen Valkyrie in the distance against the Mordor-looking sky through the ashes and fire is much more imposing and bone chilling than a seal resting in some iceberg

[true steeple]

icebergs can be pretty bone chilling

[drowsy crane]

Not exactly a good comparison to be fair, it's closer to when you see a lava blob.

[lament kiln]

My point is, I don't see Iron Gate making the Deep North more intimidating than the Ashlands

[drowsy crane]

They've already made comments about the atmosphere being more relaxed.

[true steeple]

hervor bloodtooth hasn't died yet but she's using jotun bane so it must be relatively safe

[fringe coral]

Hey guys I'm new to the game, my friends and I are starting to play and I just got a troll raid to my main base but I cannot kill them both myself anyone willing to help me (I'm the builder of the team) I'm also the host of the server so i can invite you through steam but I can't open it cuz trolls hitting base

[steep tusk]

Learning how to deal with raids is part of the game (unless you turn raids off).
If you truly cannot kill them, just run in circles until the timer expires and then no more will spawn.
At that point just lead the remaining 2 away from your base and then sprint back so they lose their target on you. They will then despawn in a matter of in-game hours since they were tied to the raid.

[fringe coral]

As I said I'm the builder of the team server we playing in the thing is that no one of my friends is on

And i cannot kill because no food just building

[spare ravine]

What they said about deep north is that they want it to be less relentless with enemies. They specifically want it to be similar in term of challence. I dont know where you are coming from by saying itle be easier.

[lament kiln]

I didn't say it'd be easier, it's not about difficulty

[spare ravine]

oh, you said terrifying

[fast flume]

hello, i caught a fish but how do i transform it into fish meat ?

[steep tusk]

You need to have acquired Iron so you can make the Prep Table.

[fast flume]

Oh ok thanks

[mental nacelle]

yo what's the go to safe way to mod this game?

[thorn spire]

folks in #mods-discussion might know.

[stable nebula]

where can I find a list of known issues? I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting microstuttering sometimes in the game

[solemn osprey]

Im guessing due to the issue with high polling on mouse settings. Try going to your mouse settings and lowering your poll rate.

If you're noticing every time you start a camera movement it lags before catching up, polling is likely the issue.

[frosty frost]

https://www.valheimgame.com/support/ here 🙂

[pure mango]

If I build a windmill so that the blades are mostly out in the open, but the base is behind a nearby wall, will it affect the speed?

[thorn spire]

don't think so. I've got earthen walls about 3/4 up the height of my windmills (about 5m above ground level) and I don't have any issues with them.

[tacit breach]

I know being too close to OTHER structures can effect it, but I've never seen complaints about what is done to the mills themselves, within reason. IE do not block the blades.

[steady viper]

uh, how come this is unlit? (there is fuel)

nvm, this is why...

[steep tusk]

oof

[livid pebble]

Those who played on the hardest difficulty, please tell me if there's a point to the armor points? We've reached the Ashlands and the mobs here are really hurting.

[steep tusk]

Armor definitely matters if you are taking hits.
Armor doesn't matter if you're dodging.

Life is easier on VH if you just run mage though.

[true steeple]

with valheim's armor system playing with doubled enemy damage will half the effectiveness of your armor, so it's still doing something but it's not as valuable as it is normally

[obsidian olive]

Hey how do I find the kraken?

[true steeple]

what kraken?

[obsidian olive]

I might be confused. Tho ain’t their a boss in the ocean ( I think)

[rocky sphinx]

Leviathan?

[obsidian olive]

Yes thank. You

[rocky sphinx]

Theres no ocean boss, no.

Leviathans are the source of chitin. Something like living islands

[obsidian olive]

Oof-

You mean the islands that rock around?

[rocky sphinx]

Yes the islands in the ocean that sink once you mine the chitin

[obsidian olive]

Thanks.

[mellow hound]

so this is my first playthrough (kinda never made it past eikthyr) and idrk how black forest works. i went exploring got copper and left running from a troll, what am i supposed to do?

[steep tusk]

What did the bird say when you got copper?

[mellow hound]

i turned the bird off lol maybe i shouldnt have

[steep tusk]

Yes, turning off the thing that tells you how the game works would be why you are stuck on wondering how the game works 😄

[mellow hound]

if i turn him back on will he tell me or what do i do

[steep tusk]

Genuinely don't know that one, so would be curious to see. 👀

[mellow hound]

okay lets test it gimme a sec to boot up my world

[steep tusk]

👀

[mellow hound]

nope but i can reset it

[mellow hound]

wait so how do i get surtling cores

[steep tusk]

Burial Chambers.

Forest's "dungeons".

[mellow hound]

dont they have like alot of skeletons and skeletons i cant kill, also i tried looking for one in the black forest and there was none are they rare

[steep tusk]

They are not rare. And killing skeletons is about 40% of what you have to do in the BF, so you do need to work on being better at that.

[mellow hound]

okay i cant kill them with melee but bows i can. when do i get better melee stuff or is there stuff better then club

[steep tusk]

And if you find skeletons difficult.... I have bad news for you about the rest of the game...

Wooden Club is your absolute best weapon against them right now.

[mellow hound]

jeez

okay well ima get some arrows and then go find a burial chamber wish me luck

[steep tusk]

Genuine advice: You really should try to melee everything you can right now to get the flow of combat down.

If you purely do everything from range... it will be even more difficult if you try to go melee later on.

[mellow hound]

i just killed a troll and okay

[steep tusk]

Trolls also die faster in melee 😄

Specially if you have a spear.

[mellow hound]

i found a burial chamber, do you wanna go in vc so i can screen share

[steep tusk]

No?
Because there is no reason to.

[mellow hound]

okay

do i just run in and run out or do i kill the skeletons

[steep tusk]

You will want to clear the whole dungeon.

[mellow hound]

okay

[stoic breach]

portal isnt showing up in my build menu

[mellow hound]

i died to a ghost they are op
