[steep tusk]

If you find the normal enemies in the BF to be OP... I have bad news for you about the rest of the game...

You have Finewood?

[stoic breach]

yeah i hve all materials in inventory

[steep tusk]

Weird.

[mellow hound]

the ghost was way harder then skeletons i was killing skeletons easy work

[steep tusk]

Ghost is same difficulty... just different roll timing.

[mellow hound]

it seemed to have alot more health

[steep tusk]

Health isn't difficulty though? It's just "I have to block or roll more times while fighting."
No? 🤔

That is basically the combat cycle of the entire game.
Dodge-roll until you get better food that allows you to block.
Proceed to next biome. Repeat.

[mellow hound]

lol okay

[small temple]

What is the best weapons to beating moder?

[spare ravine]

draugr fang with fire arrows, I suppose

or poison arrows

[small temple]

Ok thx

[spare ravine]

I fought her with a crystal battleaxe, though

[tired root]

Anything that isn't Frostner (due to her frost immunity).

[small temple]

Ok

[tired root]

She has no other resistances so any weapon type works.

[steep tusk]

Well now I WANT to use Frostner just because you said this 😉

[tired root]

Reverse psychology kicking in?

[steep tusk]

Someone had mentioned there is a way to tell if there is an infested mine by the spire shape but I cannot remember what it was?

[steep tusk]

I did find 1 enemy that I now will concede Frostner is good for.

[tired root]

Moder and Golem.

-# Both immune to frost.

[tired root]

3 upward spikes next to each other.

[steep tusk]

Exclusively Seeker Soldiers, as they don't get pushed back at all. Meaning the weapon actually works as it should and the frost damage is good given their physical resistance.

[steep tusk]

🗒️

[steep tusk]

Which matters only until I build Mistwalker 😄

[drowsy crane]

Frostner is great for Cultists as well, hitting them back spaces you nicely from their flames.

[steep tusk]

Great for you.
If you recall, my hatred of the weapon stems from the knockback part of it.

@barren rivet were you the one using Iron Brooch for most everything?

[drowsy crane]

That's why I meantioned the spacing being useful.

[steep tusk]

I do not find it useful, I find it hindering. 😭

[drowsy crane]

Not getting burnt isn't very hindering. 😅

[steep tusk]

Not getting burnt is a matter of rolling to the side so I can beat them to death while they waste time spewing flames.
Can't do that if I am pushing them away from me.

[tired root]

If knockback didn't increase by skill level would the knockback of Frostner be too much still?

[drowsy crane]

You don't need to roll if a hit pushes them back, then just run around and smack them once more during their attack.

[steep tusk]

What's the baseline?

[steep tusk]

Push then having to run to them takes more time than rolling and immediately being able to swing.

[drowsy crane]

Also in my experience Frostner is not pushing them so far I can't connect a combo chain.

[tired root]

The knockback increases up to +141% at skill lvl 100.

But even around 40-50 skill level the increase is noticeable.

[steep tusk]

Is that n * 1.41 or n * 2.41?

I am going to assume it is the latter given the "+" 141%

[tired root]

That's what wiki says,+141%.

[steep tusk]

In which case, yes, if the skill did not increase the knockback amount, the weapon would be better.
Because baseline Frostner is 100 and maxed out Wooden Club is 72.3 -- I have no issues with the club, so Frostner would be fine.

[tired root]

I'm looking at the numbers in wiki: wooden club has 30, bronze mace 80, iron mace 90 and Frostner and beyond 100.

[steep tusk]

As I have put forth multiple times -- keep the punt on the secondary. I would say drop all the base club knockbacks 45-50 if you want to have the skill still scale, and have their secondary still be that 200 level absolute distance maker so that I can control when I want to fight things and when I want to make space.

[tired root]

I would be on board if the knockback increase by skill level were removed alltogether. For some other weapons the knockback doesn't make too much sense IMO.

[steep tusk]

That would be the other route. But I don't think they are open to either idea.

[drowsy crane]

It does for weapons with frost, so the slowing effect has immediate usage.

[tired root]

I actually forgot about it but I made suggestion regarding that. #suggestions message

[steep tusk]

I am up to 3 total geuine suggestions now 😄

[tired root]

And yes, Yacko is avid Brooch user.

[steep tusk]

1. Reduce first swing of battleaxe by 0.1s.
2. Knockback on maces.
3. Trinkets.

[tired root]

What about trinkets, the ones with higher adrenaline cost?

[steep tusk]

I have done the full explanation twice in the past 2 days 😄 I don't feel like typing it all out again right now.

[tired root]

Hmm fair, now that I think of it, I might have seen some discussions but forgot who were involved.

[pure mango]

Anything better than Frostner for fighting zombie bears?

[tired root]

Hmm forgot about Viles having no frost resistance like bears do.
But anything else high spirit damage like Silver sword or Crystal battleaxe are also solid.

[steep tusk]

Anything better than Frostner...?
-Yes, every weapon.

[pure mango]

So using a fang spear which 100% peirce damage which Viles are resistant to, is better than the Frostner which mostly does Spirit and Frost damage which Viles are not resistant to?

I guess I should clarify, Plains tier and below

Once you get the fire staff killing them is going to be barely an inconvenince, same as Lox

[tired root]

Do you mean Plains tier and above? Below would be lower tiers (as far as I see it).

[pure mango]

I thought I mean below, to avoid confusion, lets say Plains or earlier in the game tier

[tired root]

Right, thanks. But like I mentioned above, any silver with added spirit damage do well.

As all Plains tier weapons are 100% physical damage.

[pure mango]

Without running the numbers to know exactly, the silver sword does mostly physical damage and the Vile is resistant to all types of that. Maybe having increased spirit damage, rather than split between spirit and frost, edges it out though.

[tired root]

Viles are weak against spirit, so it deals 1,5x damage.

And spirit damage is added on top of the physical damage on mountain tier weapons.

[gusty rampart]

Any tips to improve this? Im carrying them all around just in case i stumble over a enemy i might need magic for or need a lot of hp just in case. Is there a food wich is good for both? Or makes a good combo just in generall?

[frosty frost]

If you use magic you dont really need hp food, your bubble shield is your effective hp 🙂

I personally really like EES diet

[wise yarrow]

Seems like a lot of slots to spend on food to me

[steep tusk]

Genuine feedback: The largest improvement would be not carrying them all.

[gusty rampart]

You mean remove it all and get only eitr and the barrier staff? And whats EES diet? And what about stamina?

[steep tusk]

S is for Stamina in the SEE configuration.

[frosty frost]

Eitr Eitr Stamina diet 😉 So get two of the eitr foods and get one for stamina, carry that

[steep tusk]

Some people do the letters in the wrong order 😉

[frosty frost]

Meh, alphabetical 😄

[gusty rampart]

I know. I purposely only send these 6 slots cause if i was to send my whole inventory you guys would definetly visit me jsut to give me a whack

[steep tusk]

Order of acquisition 😉

[gusty rampart]

Ah. What are you carrying around then?

[frosty frost]

Nah, until you complain about too little inv slots you are save with whatever inventory config 😄

[steep tusk]

Once you have killed Queen you can switch to EEF and you're golden.

[tired root]

Salad, aspic and stuffed shroom are good.

[gusty rampart]

EEF?

[tired root]

Feast for F.

[frosty frost]

When playing mage? The Seeker aspic, Ygg poridge and omeletts usually

[steep tusk]

Mistlands Feast is the first to give you all 3 stats.

[gusty rampart]

U sure? Alr well the food serving plate is only now there but otherwise thats my exploration inventory

[steep tusk]

Only available after Queen.

[steep tusk]

Pain 😭

[gusty rampart]

Ah. That sounds amazing

[tired root]

Expect a knock on your door soon.

[pure mango]

Assuming base level, Frostner: (35 x 0.5) + (40) + (20 x 1.5) = 87.5
Silver Sword: (75 * 0.5) + (30 x 1.5) = 82.5

so, Frostner slightly edges out the silver sword for killing Viles

[steep tusk]

If going mage, commit to mage. Drop all the melee weapons. 😭

[gusty rampart]

Like i said 😂

[gusty rampart]

But... i might need it

[frosty frost]

I would say too many melee weapons and food, i personally never use the dvergr circlet so in my opinion specifically that is useless, other than that, solid 🙂

[pure mango]

Yeah thats a hoarders inventroy lol, you deffinitely have a lot of stuff you dont really need there

[frosty frost]

Carry one 🙂 or axe since that is weapon and tool.

[gusty rampart]

Alr. Imma try get the recommended food rq and inprove my inventory

[steep tusk]

Magic is ranged so the Arbalest is an automatic drop.
Picking one melee I can see as valid, so for the most bang for buck that would be slotting a battleaxe as it is both weapon and tool.

[frosty frost]

Nah, while magic is ranged the arbalest is way more ranged 😄

[steep tusk]

Also, eat before you head out in the morning and carry ONE of each of your foods with you. So when you eat later in the day you get those 3 slots back to use. @gusty rampart

[pure mango]

With weapons I try to carry, something with good damage against a single target, something good at crowd control, something that does the opposite damage type to my main weapon (for anything resistant), something ranged. That shoudl be enough.

[cobalt ember]

Who needs a melee when you have a sawed off lightning shotgun

[steep tusk]

Skill issue.

[steep tusk]

Most disappointing weapon of my life, not even joking.

[tired root]

Ah you're past Mistlands it seems. Save mats for marinated greens and keep using aspic as other eitr food, but you can use the shroomshake too until they run out.

[frosty frost]

-# With frost staff its really rng issue XD

[gusty rampart]

Arbalest? I friking love that weapon!! I only use that

[pure mango]

I dont even take food with me, feasts all the way, if you plan carefully and dont stay out too late you can get back before you need to eat again easily.

[steep tusk]

-# Frost staff should gain accuracy with skill level, we have been over this.

[steep tusk]

Then why do you need magic foods at all?

[cobalt ember]

Yeah it is arguably the worst of the bunch lol, but the design behind it is pretty cool, a lightning shotgun, what's next, a fireball minigun?

[frosty frost]

Oh i missed that convo i think, but can agree to that for sure 😄

[steep tusk]

If it was a chain lightning shotgun -- would be my favorite of all magic weapons.

[gusty rampart]

well... why would i carry the staff around otherwise... i need it if i intend to use the staff

[steep tusk]

Sounds like combat identity crisis 😭

[gusty rampart]

I used to. But i also used to run out of it before getting back home

[cobalt ember]

I'd still be cool if the damage on it was higher to turn it into what it was supposed to be, a weapon that obliterates a single target if it's in close range

[gusty rampart]

Always... In all games. Even elden

[cobalt ember]

As I recall last time I used it at max level it could barely kill a regular charred mob at point blank range

[pure mango]

Most of the magic weapons seem to act like firearms
Lightning staff = shotgun
Frost staff = sub machine gun
Fire staff = grenade launcher

[steep tusk]

That's why you take 1 of each with you, so you can eat one more time before home.
Your timer for getting back should be your Rested Buff. And eating twice in the day covers that timer.

[pure mango]

Or... use feasts lol

Much more mileage out of your resources

[steep tusk]

Feasts are good but they are not the end-all, be-all of foods.

[gusty rampart]

Yes

[tired root]

It obliterates Morgen which are weak against lightning. #memes-and-clips message

[pure mango]

I mainly use individual foods just for a little bit of stamina around my base, like uncooked berries and mushrooms, or for boss fights where I dont mind having a stack on me and the extra 10-20 of each stat is worth it

[cobalt ember]

Let's break it down for good :
Fire staff = grenade launcher
Frost staff = Basically a frost FN scar
Fracturing staff = grenade launcher but with bonus grenades for every grenade for all your grenade needs
Wild staff = TF2 sentry placer
Dundr = Sad single round shotgun
Protection staff = renewable kevlar vest
Dead raiser = decoy grenade bundle
Trollstav = Portable MOAB

Guns do in fact exist in valheim

[gusty rampart]

THese omeletts?

[cobalt ember]

Oh yeah I forgot about them, now I remember why I actually ended up carrying it around with me while playing with my friend lol

[frosty frost]

Yep 😄

[frosty frost]

Or you can use salad, that is easier to make loads of

[tired root]

Salad is 100% easier to make huge portions and also have just 5 stamina less than omelette.

[gusty rampart]

Well then this is my new inventory. Without carrying the porridge and the omeletts. And i gotta craft another staff for protection. Is the skeletton summon even good? I never managed to test it

[tired root]

Skeletts are more like distractions in Ashlands. But they can also be protected with the protection staff bubble.

[gusty rampart]

Are they good then? Like actually useful or more like a meh effect?

[tired root]

Also consider Ember staff, it's very good even in Ashlands.

[tired root]

Personally I don't use them if I play mage.

[frosty frost]

The skeletons can be used as distractions, in combat they are not that usefull beyond that but its fun if you use them 😄 i personally would probably switch skeleton staf to staff of embers tho, and maybe get rid of one of the Eitr foods since oyu still have 3 now.

[gusty rampart]

Is the ember better than the frost one?

[gusty rampart]

K. Well the food on the left is getting kicked anyway. i just didnt yet find a chest thats empty

[tired root]

For multiple enemies it's good, as it's AoE damage and huge portion of the damage output is also blunt which only 1 enemy resists.

[gusty rampart]

So frost is generally weaker?

[tired root]

They still take fire damage even though they at least resist it, charred are very resistant.

[tired root]

It has its uses but against multiple enemies at once Ember shines more.

[frosty frost]

The frost is great against singular enemies since you melt through the hp really well, but i like the embers better

[gusty rampart]

Ember it is. Thx

[tired root]

Consider Frost staff against wet enemies and maybe against voltures that are weak to frost.

But Frost staff pairs pretty well with certain staff in Ashlands once you gain access to it.

[frosty frost]

I do usually carry both of them + the protection staff 🙂

[gusty rampart]

Aha. Well then lets take it back down the wall once more

What about the clothes and talismans? Rn im a Arbalest user and imma start using magic more. What would you guys recommend me?

[tired root]

Where Megingjord?

[frosty frost]

Seems good to me, i really dont see the use of circlet but other than that seems good, megingjord might be a good substitution for the circlet 😄

[gusty rampart]

In my chest with stuff i like but dont need rn

[tired root]

I'm just saying, your carry limit can run out fast without it.

[gusty rampart]

Ah yes. Right. Circlet. Clothes are good? I wanna improve myself. I really do tend to keep more on me than i need. Just a lil. I used to carry 2 armor sets not long ago. Running boost and tanking

[frosty frost]

Nono, clothes are good.

[gusty rampart]

KK. Imma switch it

[gusty rampart]

Nice. Very nice. Thx a bunch

[tired root]

Quality 4 hood tho. 👀

[frosty frost]

Hehe, commands detected

[gusty rampart]

Nonono. Definetly not. Noooooo. Not me.

-# It happened after using the character in my hardcore world and upgrading all my stuff at the table with commands on. I wanted to give myself a little advantage by gifting myself some alr leveled stuff.

[barren rivet]

YUP it is perfection

[nova hinge]

hey just getting back into valheim after a break for a year or two, I am running into this weird error and wondering if anyone has encountered and solved before, my hammers wont repai buildings, when I make them they will repair for a short time but then stop being able to repair, it is getting really annoying having to build hammers over and over again

[steep tusk]

Is the hammer breaking due to running out of durability?

[nova hinge]

nope full durability, it just stops repairing, I can still build with it

I take it back, I just made a new one and it isnt even repairing anymore

I am an idiot

I wasnt using the repair button in the top left of the build menu

[spare ravine]

I did that the first time I was playing

[inner maple]

-console in launch options enables the console, is there a way to do the same through the boot.cfg file?

I tried console=1 as a guess but nothing

Mainly I'm using it as a test to verify the boot.cfg is being utilized, if anyone has a better way to do that

[marble roost]

Decent cannon fodder to distract enemies, at least if you put shields on them

Damage wise they're pretty meh unless you have high blood magic and playing on hard/vhard (they do more damage on higher difficulty)

AI of them kinda meh too last I played

Overall: Meh, except they're fine in optimal circumstances

[remote tangle]

do you guys have any tips for being able to see barley better while planting it?
(i have visual snow syndrome so i have a hard time seeing dots)

[empty pond]

anyone got any tips for fighting yagluth

[spare ravine]

I zoom in as much as possible before planting

For barley, I mean, not for Yagluth

[remote tangle]

ty i'll try that, am also wondering about like, angles n stuff possibly
looking at them directly down or just kind of to the side they still seem like dots and i end up planting them too close together quite a bit

[lunar blaze]

first priorities with this iron? i just transferred all of it by boat from swamp. first time having iron. lots of it : )

[tired root]

1. Nails for better boat and armor stand for extra comfort,
2. Stonecutter for building with stone and crafting one material for new forge upgrade,
3. Shield,
4. Mace,
5. Pickaxe,
6. Your choice. 👍

[lunar blaze]

bet bet thank you, why mace tho and which shield

[tired root]

Mace obliterates blobs (and also is ||BiS against boss||), shield depends if you want solely focus on parrying (buckler) or if you want to have both options (banded). 👍

[lunar blaze]

i usually just ignore the blobs or should them with fire arrows. anytime i go close they just poison chunk me

[tired root]

Do you have poison resistance mead?

[lunar blaze]

nope havent touched meads yet

[tired root]

Try one and blobs become no problem.

[lunar blaze]

am i gonna need to farm them or something? cuz ignoring them has been working so far lmao, ill still make the mace tho

[tired root]

Blobs are not only enemy mobs dealing poison damage.

[lunar blaze]

i mean referring to making mace

[tired root]

Their mats are useful for some crafting recipes.

[lunar blaze]

ok bet. so i got like 120 iron and crafted all the crafting upgrades and tables. now i can make the boat, ill make the tools next, then what? go for the boss right?

[tired root]

Once you have the location and you feel you're ready.
Remember not neglet food progression, have you found turnip seeds?

[gusty rampart]

So they are bad in every way but those circumstances in wich they are good they are not as bad. Good. I’m definetly not gonna use them. 100eitr for them if I could also just cast a big fireball right in the face? For like 30 eitr? Definetly fire and ice

Thx though

[rare quarry]

I'm stuck swimming in this drain in a sunken crypt. I've got stamina potions but I'm concerned that I'll have to die to get my stuff back (and potentially risk getting stuck again). How do I get out?

Also I don't know why (probably a bug), but I placed down a bonfire near my swamp base and then entered a crypt and the fire buff remained with me whereever I went in the crypt. The buff vanishes as soon as I leave it.

[crisp marsh]

I read a long time ago that Dead Raiser/Trollstaff/tames are stronger on hard and Vhard difficulty, but don't know if that's true or just false info. Anyone knows?

[tired root]

It's true, since the modifiers that increase damage of enemy mobs affect also your summoned mobs.

[true steeple]

Their damage will be increased but they'll also die faster from enemies

[tired root]

Summoned trolls, vines, skeletts.

[crisp marsh]

How about regular tames like wolves, lox and asks?

[true steeple]

All creatures are affected

[crisp marsh]

Okay thank you lots!

[steady viper]

how did you even get inside it? Was it just a hole and you fell in it? I'm seeing a root in the far left corner of the screen, so maybe try to destroy that?

[winged dust]

Silly question but just coming back after a long hiatus and can’t Rmbr how to change the view distance when piloting the longboat on a Xbox? Any help for controls?

[lilac spire]

how to wear Odin's cloak legally?

I've been playing since 2021

[tired root]

You can't, unless you participated in beta and got the key for the access to wear them.

[lilac spire]

Unfortunately, I didn't know how to get the code at the time, as I was young and hadn't thought about it.

[frosty frost]

Beta was before february 2021, so you needed to play before that 🙂

[tired root]

Iirc participants got the key via email.

[lilac spire]

while replaying the game with a friend, we found a cloak on the wiki and brought up this issue

[frosty frost]

Have you participated in the beta before February 2021? Or did you request access for it? If not then you are not eligable for it sadly, like lot of us 🙂

[tired root]

I also played since 2021.
-# October tho.

[frosty frost]

Same here, March 😄

[lilac spire]

to be honest, I don't remember, I was 15 years old at the time, and all I wanted to do was play)

Unfortunately, I just decided to ask this question.

[tired root]

You could check email or from your Steam profile when you got the game.

[frosty frost]

I would check when you got the game on steam as Joel said 🙂

[lilac spire]

I'm doing it right now.

November 8, 2022

It's a shame, okay, sorry to bother you.

[tired root]

Don't worry about that.

Happy to help.

[restive summit]

Do devcommands not work on console anymore? I cant get it to pop up like before

[frosty frost]

Go to settings and in gameplay tab press the "enable console" 🙂

[restive summit]

oooh thank you!!

[rare quarry]

I was checking if there was a further path because sometimes they contain a pathway underwater to another area but it was a dead end then got stuck around a branch. I can't break it because I'm also stuck in swimming.

[thorn spire]

Usually you can get around the branch and stand on it with a bit of wiggling to be able to break it and get out.

[steady viper]

I'd say you can just enable devcommands and start flying out of there, because that's complete bs

[rare quarry]

I know. I'll consider that once I've exhausted conventional means.

[tacit breach]

Only conventional way I know of is if you or a buddy can destroy the roots holding you in there.

So if your solo, its likely you will have to use dev commands.

Or if you have another character, have them go destroy the roots.

[inner maple]

Is there any way to rename a character and/or world?

[frosty frost]

Not by default, you can mess with some files iirc, but that had some issues if memory serves me right

[lapis terrace]

should work just fine 🤔

[spare ravine]

Imagine if the barber chair could change your character,s gender and name.

[true steeple]

Everything should be changeable, maybe some options in the main menu and not at a barber chair though

[lapis terrace]

change the name of the files will give you 2 names on the character, but don't touch the world file 😄

[spare ravine]

I'm gonna touch the world file

[true steeple]

The world name should be in the fwl file idk what happens if you edit it though

[meager vale]

Touch it

[vernal mica]

question: I was coming out of my base and turned the corner and out in the distance there was a dude that shot an arrow and killed something was that like a random thing like how thor and odin work or am i just going crazy?!

[steep tusk]

Enemies from different factions fight each other all the time.

[vernal mica]

no it was a dude

[steep tusk]

Some of the enemies are dudes? Can you be more specific.

[vernal mica]

like full on leather wearing crude bow

[steep tusk]

Are you on multiplayer at all or do you have mods?

[vernal mica]

nope, shot something and popped out of existence

[steep tusk]

Draugr archer is the closest thing to what you describe. And they 100% can be in the Meadows.

[vernal mica]

ok ima put it as im going crazy or draugr lol

[steep tusk]

Ye. Pretty much everything will randomly hunt and kill deer/boar 😄

[vernal mica]

ok what if my island is no where near a swamp?????? he would have to have crossed alot of water and there was no raid?

[steep tusk]

There are draugr villages in the Meadows.

[vernal mica]

oh ya but the closet one to me is on the other side of the mountain forgot bout those

[stoic breach]

my friend place down a portal and tagged it the came as another one in our base and it didnt connect?

[glad current]

Draugr will also spawn in the meadows if it's a foggy night

[steady viper]

and if you got a raid recently, it might have been distracted by something before the raid ended and it wandered off, just to come back near your base later

[royal sandal]

guys i have issue with my valhiem save is anyone free to help?

[still oxide]

does mining all of the surrounding ground/stone around the petrified stone makes it mine it all at once?

[naive vale]

Yes, you can collapse it like you can collapse copper, silver etc.

[still oxide]

it wont collapse on mine

[glad current]

There may be one portion still technically in contact with the ground

[naive vale]

I can come and see it, if possible. And what Raindancer said.

[glad current]

Even if it looks to be floating, each segment extends from the space it visually occupies

[naive vale]

Same has happened too many times with my copper blasting. Floating copper and some hardcore parkour.

[safe ingot]

How do i change draw distance of camera for ship control? Im building ValheimRAFT ship so just wheel down doesnt cut it.... i need way more

[frosty frost]

I would ask in #mods-discussion 🙂 folks there might know

[past tartan]

Is there a way to turn on no-cost building without no-cost workstations/crafting?

[thorn spire]

I’m pretty sure those are two separate options, so it should be possible

[tired root]

Have you tried no building cost from world modifiers?

[alpine tapir]

what do you guys reckon is the best way to mine this rock here? I want as many rocks as possible, don't want them sliding straight into the ocean.

[steep tusk]

Build a wood scaffold out under it to catch everything.

[alpine tapir]

hmm i tried that before but I think a bunch of rocks move so fast they just phase straight through them. Oh i guess that might be solved by just putting the scaffold really close to the bottom of the rock

[past tartan]

It allows free workstations

[drowsy crane]

Allow the rock to form it's own spoon-like shape by starting from the top, and the rock itself can catch things for you.

[alpine tapir]

yeah i do that but then when I finish killing it the rest falls down

[drowsy crane]

Ah well, do you need to finish it?

[alpine tapir]

yes I want all the stone, not sure why i would just leave some there

[drowsy crane]

Could it prove more effective to just leave it in that state and move on to the next? Rather than building around it.

It can be nice to shape the world to your influence, and you will ultimately save yourself some time. You could also just set up a portal near the bottom to ferry everything away quickly.

[alpine tapir]

i prefer to leave the island i live on to look pretty

[drowsy crane]

Does the portal sound like a better option?

[alpine tapir]

that won't help me? I have no issues carting it back to my base and a portal wouldn't help me avoid losing stone to the deep ocean

[drowsy crane]

Ah I'm fairly certain it won't roll out to the ocean.

By the looks of that screenshot, most of the stone will land on the shelf below and not even make it to the grass.

[alpine tapir]

I guarantee you after having mined similar stone outcrops it absolutely will get sent at blinding speeds and end up in the middle of the ocean

[drowsy crane]

Give me a moment I will test it out for you

[alpine tapir]

yeah part of the scaffolding broke and one of the pieces of wood ended up here. and stone rolls a lot better than wood

[drowsy crane]

Oh wow I didn't know stones could fly like that, just tested for myself. In this case it might be best to just find another source of stone on the mountain, it seems like a lot of work for a only a decent amount of stone.

[alpine tapir]

I'm gonna try Sevrahn's wood scaffold idea first, and then i'll probably just fight moder or find a plains biome

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, definitely worth a try, but it seems like a lot of transporting materials to me.

[stoic trench]

Agreed, why not target the stone spires in the plains instead? Less effort, less dangerous, more materials 🤔

[drowsy crane]

Heck, even the Black Forest boulders, you can even enlist the help of a troll friend.

[autumn temple]

hello i need some help

when iwant to sleep my character tp on the bd

bed but doesnt sleep

[steep tusk]

🤔

[glad current]

Is another player active in the world?

[autumn temple]

no i amsolo

[steep tusk]

First question is always: Do you have mods?

After that - indoors? Nearby fire?

[alpine tapir]

mountain stone is wayy better than black forest stone. The plains are a little too dangerous for me and there are none nearby, PLUS those stone pillars spawn so few and far between that mountain is undoubtedly the best place to farm stone

[autumn temple]

yes everything is in order

[steep tusk]

Is stone not just.. stone?

[autumn temple]

its a bug

[steep tusk]

Didn't answer the mods question.

[glad current]

Not to the distinguished geologist or minerophile 😉

(Geology incidentally is the black notebook)

[steep tusk]

Those are rocks 😉

[autumn temple]

I doesnt have any mods

[alpine tapir]

mountain stone drops way more stone than black forest stone because a lot more of it is above the surface. So without digging down (which is a pain and leaves a big ugly pit), I'd say mountain stone drops on average about double the black forest stone

[glad current]

I’ve yet to find a rock

[topaz igloo]

My first though was that he meant metal, but then I read a little more

[autumn temple]

Look

[stoic trench]

Raise the roof

[steep tusk]

You're not completely indoors from what I can see there.

[autumn temple]

its not the roof i ve tried tomoove it every where possible

[stoic trench]

Hmm tried moving the bed away from the wall a little bit?

[autumn temple]

yes already...

[alpine tapir]

also this is my island so I think mountain stone will be best for me :)

[stoic trench]

Strange, are you able to sleep in different beds?

[drowsy crane]

I could probably mine 3 black forest boulders with an antler pickaxe in the time it'd take to scaffold that rock and then mine it. 👀

[autumn temple]

Look i moove it everywhere and yes i have a roof

[stoic trench]

What does that message say? I can’t read it, sorry!

[alpine tapir]

that rock I'm mining is more like 3-4 mountain rocks mushed together. I think I still would end up with more stone

[autumn temple]

just spwan point set and press e to sleep

whe i play why friend he can sleep but i annot

[drowsy crane]

The damage is spread throughout every instance, so it will take the same amount of time all 3 would take to break apart separately.

[autumn temple]

when i play with my friend he can sleep but i canno'*

[alpine tapir]

but the scaffolding took barely any time.

[drowsy crane]

I'm just making the point that there are likely less tasking methods, especially if you just let a troll bash the rocks in for you.

Do what you want ultimately.

[alpine tapir]

I don't quite get the troll mining method, its a bit of a pain if you ask me

[steep tusk]

To be fair, when I want stone I mine copper 😄

Because dual-purpose mining is more efficient!

[alpine tapir]

ah well you clearly aren't building an enormous castle :)

[steep tusk]

What makes you say that?

[alpine tapir]

well if you were you would have like 20 chests full of copper by now

[steep tusk]

Take your 10k stone for the castle.
Now imagine if with that 10k stone you also got like 2k copper and 2-3k silver for free.

[drowsy crane]

3 or 4 ground pounds from the troll, and the rock is pretty much cleared, it takes less than 3 minutes per massive boulder, and their AoE hits deep underground as well.

[solemn osprey]

@autumn temple do you have some kind of custom keybinding? This looks like you're pressing jump at the same time, or else pressing action twice quickly.

[steep tusk]

And I would use it to build accents in the castle.

Dverger Walls and such are all copper-based building items.

[autumn temple]

no i have basis control didn't touch anything and i already tried to change my keybind

[alpine tapir]

oh thats neat. Unfortunately i haven't made it to the mistlands in this playthrough, so copper is kinda useless to me :/ I don't want to make the same mistake i did last castle of having 18 sconces eat up all my many chests of resin and then my castle is dark and sad for the rest of my life.

[solemn osprey]

Logged out and back in?

[autumn temple]

yes even tried to shut down my pc lol

[alpine tapir]

but yeah if you are using the copper too thats a pretty good strategy and if trolls work for you be my guest

[solemn osprey]

Can you try sitting on a log bench or chair?

Also do you have something like toggle sprint on?

Maybe your character is stuck in running mode.

[autumn temple]

i ve just tried to sleep in a new world it doens't work

[steep tusk]

I rush Mistlands just because Black Marble >>> Stone.
And then I kind of pause while collecting thousands of marble and doing my actual permanent build 😄

[solemn osprey]

Stupid question, it is night time yes?

No wait you can lie down regardless

[autumn temple]

and with a new character it doesn't work too

[solemn osprey]

Ok then its definitely settings or mod related... or maybe weird keyboard settings.

[autumn temple]

It’s the basic keyboard settings and i don’t have Any mod 🥲🥲🥲

[solemn osprey]

Have you tried resetting all settings to default in valheim?

[autumn temple]

Yes

I try to unstall and install again rn

[solemn osprey]

Tried holding the action key down?

[autumn temple]

I Even look on redit but didn’t find answers you are my Last Hope hahahaha

[solemn osprey]

Can you try to add just 1 resin/coal to a structure?

[autumn temple]

I already try this too🥲

[solemn osprey]

What was the result?

[autumn temple]

I am stuck with this for like 3 days

[autumn temple]

The Same i tp on the bed and nothing happen

[solemn osprey]

No when you add just 1 resin to a torch, what happens?

[autumn temple]

It just had 1 résine

Everything is fonctionnel in the game execpt sleeping

[solemn osprey]

Did you only have one resin on you at the time? Or more?

[autumn temple]

More

[spare ravine]

french detected

[solemn osprey]

Im really at a loss man. This isnt creative is it?

[spare ravine]

whats going on?

[autumn temple]

Yes hahaha

[solemn osprey]

Oh true, try pressing left shift+left alt, then try sleeping.

Change your keyboard mode

[autumn temple]

But i am good in english but just auto corrector fuck me up

Even unstalling the game didn’t change anything

[solemn osprey]

Guy cant sleep. Everytime he tries character hops out of bed. Happens with different bed locations, different keybinds, different characters different worlds. Supposedly no mods and no weird keybindings/ settings.

[autumn temple]

i am sure i have no mod hahaha i am knew on the game i first want to finish the game normally

[solemn osprey]

Did you try changing keyboard mode?

Keyboard language*

[autumn temple]

Yes in 3 different language i tried

is it so much important to sleep in this game?

[spare ravine]

Well apparently if you look straight down on the bed and use it, you should be able to sleep in it.

[spare ravine]

it mostly pass the time

[solemn osprey]

Lets you advance time and skip dangerous night periods, but thats it.

[autumn temple]

Yes, I've already seen that on Reddit. I tried it, but it didn't work.

[spare ravine]

is it single player? Sorry if it was already asked

[solemn osprey]

If you havent already tried a fresh install, try that, but honestly sounds like some kind of subtle bug due to hardware.

[autumn temple]

i play with a friend but i play mostly solo and he can sleep but i canno't

[spare ravine]

is he using mods?

[autumn temple]

i ve just tried to unstall the game and install it again but didn't change anything

[spare ravine]

have you tried making a single player world and see if you can build a small house with a campfire and a bed to see if you can sleep?

[autumn temple]

yes i tried that too even in another world it doesn't work

[spare ravine]

even in single player?

[autumn temple]

yes sadly

[spare ravine]

are you playing on steam?

[autumn temple]

my last chance is to try sleep from another computer

[spare ravine]

ill take that as a yes

have you tried checking files integrity?

[autumn temple]

no what is that?

[spare ravine]

its something you do with steam regarding you installed files

I dont know how its called in french

[autumn temple]

i understood don't worry

[spare ravine]

https://help.steampowered.com/fr/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

[autumn temple]

i'll try rn

Hope it Will work i Ve almost tried everything

It didn’t work…

I guess i'll just never sleep in this game hahaha

[spare ravine]

have you tried placing the bed differently?

I have a feeling its too much into the ground

[autumn temple]

yes in so much different ways i'ts been 2 or 3 days i try everything i can everytime it's night

[autumn temple]

i did try even upstairs

[spare ravine]

its so weird

[autumn temple]

yes but thanks everyone for trying to help me

[solemn osprey]

Sorry man, thats a really weird issue. Its like your character is always running or jumping. Are you using a laptop or a keyboard that plugs in?

[autumn temple]

i am using a keabord that plug's in

[solemn osprey]

If latter, try a different keyboard. Or even bind the action key to a mouse button, unplug the keyboard, and attempt to sleep.

This will show whether issue stems from keyboard settings.

[autumn temple]

i ll try this rn

I just unplugged my keyboard and pressed a mouse button, but it didn't work. I also tried the opposite, but that didn't work either.

[solemn osprey]

Same result? Your character just hopped repeatedly in bed?

[autumn temple]

Yes sadly

[solemn osprey]

Thats so bizarre

[autumn temple]

I guess he just like to jump on bed like a kid

[solemn osprey]

Whats the result if you try to sit in a chair?

[autumn temple]

I didn’t try that

[solemn osprey]

Or even just sit? I think its bound to B by default.

[autumn temple]

Doesn’t work

[solemn osprey]

Ahhh

So your character also hops out immediately with a chair?

[autumn temple]

And look now the sword from the moose is on the screen

Sorry for bad quality

[solemn osprey]

Try crouching then sitting? Also turning on walk mode and sitting. Also just walk mode and moving around.

[autumn temple]

Dosn’t work both

And now new bug hahaha i see the mouse when i play 🥲

Like the sword from the menu

[solemn osprey]

Ok... weirder, but still points to weirdness in your valheim installation.

You have a console controller you could try using?

Check if you have sticky keys enabled. Look for setting in windows for sticky keys.

If these dont work check with the steam bugs people.

[autumn temple]

I just figured out what's wrong. I have a controller connected to my PC so I can plug in a microphone because I don't have any other way

So I unplugged the controller (I don't play with it) and that's what's kept me awake for the last 3 days.

[autumn temple]

Thanks for this question it’s this that made me think about that

[alpine tapir]

that was 36 stacks of stone, so pretty good Id say

[molten mirage]

what's the best food and mead do u guys use when going on a mining/chopping trip?

[steep tusk]

Depends on what biome you are up to?

[solemn osprey]

Happy to have found the issue.

[molten mirage]

assuming mist-ash?

[steep tusk]

Food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat would go to Configurations tab and rock the HSS if your goal is resource collection.

[lunar blaze]

so um. any tips for mosquitos? lol

[subtle parrot]

Hit them before they hit you

[drowsy crane]

You can jump their attacks on flat ground, but they also have a predictable pattern of attack and circle back. You can easily catch them out during their circle back towards you.

[tired root]

Root Harnesk.

[true bane]

Hello! I would like to know if the grave has a time limit and then disappears, or if it stays there until I recover it.

I would also like to know if you think fighting with an axe is a good option.
So far, it's been working for me (I'm a new player on a new run).

[steep tusk]

Stays.

[steep tusk]

Axes are perfectly valid and a good weapon.

[true bane]

Thx 😮‍💨

[tacit breach]

Stays until you empty it. So leave an item in it, and you can use it for your entire play through. Doubtful you would ever need it for that long, but there can be short term uses for them.

[spare ravine]

I just did an axe playthrough

Axes are plenty good and offers many advantages over other weapons.

[molten mirage]

It's a fine weap if u like them. There's a dual wield option at endgame.

[lunar blaze]

yea the issue is usually 2-3 of them, and then also escaping their first hit but bet ill try to jump if i can

[lunar blaze]

for the armor? or bow buff? is mosquito pierce?

[molten mirage]

U simply should deal with one before running away to meet another one.

[true bane]

Yes, the problem was that I only brought one expedition axe, and since I use it for everything, it wore out very quickly, and then a bear + ogre combo appeared and instakilled me.

[molten mirage]

The root armor is pierce resistant, which is the main dmg of deathsquito

[spare ravine]

You gotta upgrade your axe so that it lasts longer

[true bane]

Yep, is level 3 rn.

[spare ravine]

ah, well, perhaps do carry a second one then

[molten mirage]

@lunar blaze fyi, u can never outrun a mosquito unless u r wearing a fenris set. In vanilla that is.

[spare ravine]

You can lead it to another biome where it will jump on other enemies

[molten mirage]

Lol, I was typing abt it 😂

[spare ravine]

you can also outrun one by punching it with a giant axe

[lunar blaze]

i see i see ok thank you

[tacit breach]

You can handle them well enough with just bronze gear, as long as you only take one or two hits while your HP is high. So if its just one, kill it before their third hit.

[tacit breach]

Not completely accurate, you can run fast enough that they cannot land a hit on you, despite attacking. However, the odds of your run skill being that high when you first encounter them is far from likely. IIRC the skill needs to be around 70+

[lunar blaze]

can someone give me a good organized chest setup?

this is my shit rn lol

[steep tusk]

Main thing I can offer that I personally do is not having everything in a single spot.
I have a different building for each between Workbench, Forge, Black Forge, Galdr Table, Kitchen.
And each of those has a dedicated storage in-building with the materials specific to what that bench uses.

[molten mirage]

Well, I don't think any normal vanilla player would even get their skill level past 50 by the time they get to plains. Also, stamina also matters. U cannot run indefinitely.

[molten mirage]

I'd recommend this mod if u play on PC. https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Frogger/ChestSnap/

[spare ravine]

My suggestion is to keep everything in the same spot as my main building has everything inside for me to work on :V

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[spare ravine]

In fact I made a tiny room with the forge, black forge, and crafting table all smushed together

[steep tusk]

Picture? 👀

[spare ravine]

Unavailable as I am at work

[steep tusk]

😭

[spare ravine]

But the idea is that almost all crafting upgrades are hidden behind wooden panels

[molten mirage]

For the setup, I'd recommend u to make a storage house at the middle of your base and build workshops aroud it.

[steep tusk]

Ah, yeah I don't hide mine.
I use them as decoration to make an entire room.

[molten mirage]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[steep tusk]

SSS if you're feeling spicy (and definitely if fishing).
But HSS gives you all the stamina and some HP just in case you get surprised.

[cold crane]

Yea that’s basics for sure. I like to make a cheat for each drop and each creature grouped by biome. Use signs to label what’s in each box. Using the chests as a wall that separates the crafting side from cooking side and can be accessed from both rooms.

[remote tangle]

do surtlings drop trophies if they're just killed by walking into the water?

[tacit breach]

Right, you cannot run forever. Just long enough can be all you need.

[stoic breach]

i want to build a fairly big castle main base but will the instance count lag the game? my current very small base is already at 3500 but not lagging at al

[loud rapids]

From what I've experienced the lag isn't as big an issue in single player but once multiplayer is involved, if you didn't get lucky enough for your instance of the game to own the area you're in it'll be affected greatly

[remote tangle]

what does owning the instance you're in mean?

[loud rapids]

My understanding is that when playing multiplayer the game will give the first person to enter an area during that session ownership over the area, meaning their computer is the source of truth for that area. If your computer isn't handling the area you're in then there will be lag because your actions have to replicate to the computer which owns the area currently before you see changes

And if the game is laggy for them than it'll become laggy for you, since their computer has to handle all the stuff happening there

example: Your friend's computer happens to own the area you're in right now
You equip your weapon and attack a mob
Your request to make an attack is sent to your friend's computer
Your friend's computer calculates what happens and replicates the changes to your computer
Therefore you don't see what happens due to your attack until the changes get back to your computer, therefore lag
I might be wrong about some of the details but uh yeah its probably something like this

[stoic breach]

hm ok, i play mutliplayer but only on my own world

[spare ravine]

you also need an askvin trophy for the wreath

[spare ravine]

What can I do to prepare for Fader?

[steep tusk]

Serpent Shield does work with its resistance.

[tired root]

Only the harnesk (chest piece) that grants pierce resistance.

[naive vale]

Fire resistance and healing, stam potions. I have only beaten him with magic and berserkir axes. Flametal armor is a good choice, it makes you slow and clunky though.

[stoic breach]

is there any way to restore ground back to normal after hoeing it

like can i make the ground snowy white again

[naive vale]

Just tested Cultivator with "grass" can make the area snowy again, atleast in mountain

[lunar blaze]

is it worth upgrading my iron weapons or armor? i have the forge at lvl 7 but looks like itd take a tonnn of materials to get a +7 item

[limpid atlas]

Hey so is it normal to have Fulings spawn near you at night? I'm not anywhere near the plains biome and raids are turned off, I was chopping trees and I heard them laughing and three attacked

[naive vale]

Yes, after you have killed Yagluth it is normal.

[stoic breach]

thank you

[naive vale]

You're welcome, I like to help people out 🙂

[limpid atlas]

Okay thanks, My friend and I were really confused

[naive vale]

The more bosses you kill, it unlocks different spawns at night.

[limpid atlas]

Oh fr? Interesting

[rare quarry]

I solved it by using another character to build a stack of logs under the water, enabling me to get out.

[tired root]

Plains tier gear is going to require forge level 7 to be fully upgraded to quality 4.
As iron gear, it depends if you seem it worthy and if you don't mind mining iron, IMO quality 2 or 3 is enough, but I usually upgrade my main weapon to quality 4.

[naive vale]

I'll add to that the tier 4 iron set armor value is same as tier 1 mountain set etc

[tired root]

It's the case with all heavy armor sets, previous quality 4 having same armor rate as current quality 1.

[junior condor]

Alternatively, for your armor you can wear a light armor set like root armor or bear armor if you are more skilled with parrying and dodging, that way you save a ton of iron

[dusky knoll]

Hey, I've been wanting to play around with commands lately and build a few things, but the commands just aren't working. Only /devcommands works, but nothing else. Any ideas what might be the problem?
(I Play on Xbox)

[drowsy crane]

does it say devcommands true?

[dusky knoll]

Yes

And the rest just not work

[drowsy crane]

What commands are you trying after that?

[dusky knoll]

"Fly" for now

[steep tusk]

What happens when you type in debugmode?

[true steeple]

Are you on your own world or joining another?

[dusky knoll]

My own

[drowsy crane]

I'm not sure is fly is a command itself, freefly is for sure

[true steeple]

Are you typing these in chat or the developer console?

[steep tusk]

So uh...

What happens when you type in debugmode?

[true steeple]

fly is a command

[dusky knoll]

Nothing, there's nothing on the chat not the "true" or "false". Its just like I didn't write anything

[steep tusk]

Hmmmm...

[dusky knoll]

I even tried doing it on my other account and it still doesn't work.

[true steeple]

You need to use those commands in the developer console, not chat

[dusky knoll]

How to open it on console?

[true steeple]

Enable it in game settings then press lb+rb+menu

[dusky knoll]

Ok, thanks for help 😅

[autumn temple]

hello does someone have a command to tp plz

[steep tusk]

It's behind the command the stops people from spamming multiple channels.

[coarse relic]

Lol actually making it sound considerable

[edgy arrow]

Is there a way to "leave the chunks loaded"?

[steep tusk]

Why?

[frosty frost]

Only player can keep the chunks loaded

[steep tusk]

Ok but why do you want them loaded?
There may be workarounds based on what you're trying to achieve.

[zealous grove]

@coarse relic just helping people out

[edgy arrow]

I have some item farms, and I want them to be active at all times.

[steep tusk]

Genuine farms (the stuff you plant) track your time gone and update, so they are technically "always active."

[edgy arrow]

I'm referring to mobs.

[lunar blaze]

yea ive been using bear armor and iron mace with iron parry shield, but i cant get the parry timing on goblins at all. so i just get 1 shotted most of the time attempting it. so might just need to go grind a ton of iron and make armor and stuff

[true steeple]

What food are you using?

[lunar blaze]

whatever i have left 😭 cuz me and my friend die a lot so we keep chunking down our food. rn were basically left with just yellow mushrooms and normal meat

were farming carrots rn to get soup tho

[spare ravine]

thats why you die. you need to update your foods

You probably are timing your parries right, but the fulings just powers through it and kills you anyway

[true steeple]

Your mace secondary might be able to stagger them instead, or the knockback will at least keep you safe.

[true steeple]

You should be using swamp or mountains food

[lunar blaze]

thats what i figured

[tired root]

Have you found turnips?

[true steeple]

Try jumping their attacks instead of parrying for now

[lunar blaze]

nope 0

[spare ravine]

turnips are a major cornerstone of power

[lunar blaze]

i havent even seen a merchant yet lmao

[tired root]

https://tenor.com/view/ringing-the-bell-stranger-things-calling-desk-bell-making-noise-gif-25960323

There is the problem. Try find seeds. 👍

[spare ravine]

(in swamps)

[tired root]

@lunar blaze Turnip seeds pose as yellow flowers as how carrot seeds are found. But due to part of swamp terrain being under water level and swamp being quite dark they are rarer and somewhat harder to notice than carrot seeds.

[lunar blaze]

bet ill be on the look out when i go get more iron

[tired root]

Getting turnips will unlock new upgrade for cauldron which unlocks better foods.

[spare ravine]

Also you gotta update that armor. Bear armor is nice but if you keep dying, you probably need something else. By the time you are in the plain, you "should" have wolf armor.

[lunar blaze]

betttt

[junior condor]

At the plains you switch from the Bear Armor set and go full Fenris, also silver shield

[steep tusk]

Um.. what?

[pure mango]

Root chest piece or Padded Iron chest for landing in Mistlands?

[true steeple]

Root chest but only if you have barley wine

[pure mango]

I will have wine

I already made some, because I'll need it anyway for feather cape

I think normal seekers are mostly peirce?

[true steeple]

They have two blunt attacks but they're pretty slow. One of those attacks is the only attack they can use while flying so it's easy to tell when it's coming and the other is the same animation but on the ground. Every other attack is pierce. Ticks and seeker broods only deal pierce and dvergr rogues deal pierce on their crossbows. With root chest seeker soldiers, gjalls and dvergr mages will be the most theatening enemies because they don't deal any pierce.

[kind light]

that has not helped me at all unfortunately

to repeat for others: valheim randomly crashing for just me in a multiplayer server on linux

[spare ravine]

Oh, linux is too new for me

[tired root]

Have you asked in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202598415834288128 ?

[kind light]

I have not, I will do so now

[steep tusk]

Is it even officially support on linux?

[spare ravine]

I think so. I have a friend on linux who plays valheim all the time

when I had some trouble with it, his solution was "go linux". Which annoyed me a bit

Now, this laptop I am on does have linux, but I also have about 5 fps when I run valheim.

[tired root]

Why else there would be channel dedicated to it if the game didn't work on it?

[steep tusk]

Didn't say "doesn't work on it."
There is a difference between "it works" and "it is officially supported by the developers" 🤷‍♂️

[tired root]

Hmm fair, true. Non-native brain didn't brain again.

[spare ravine]

At this point, they dont really have to do anything to make it work on linux, tho

[steady viper]

yeah, praise be to Valve

[steep tusk]

Nay.

[steady viper]

I haven't booted it up in a while, but last time I played on the steam deck the game was running quite smoothly

I didn't like my fan going crazy, but that's just a personal annoyance

[crisp drift]

guys what does upgrading the trollstaff do pls?

[tired root]

Increase durability.

Damage output of summoned trolls depends solely on blood magic skill, not on quality of the staff. Also limit of 2 at the same time doesn't change.
In short, quality 1 is enough and you save up 3 bloodstones when you keep it that way.

Similar case for Staff of the Wild: upgrading increases durability and damage of the projectile, but the damage output of vines depend on elemental magic skill level, so keeping it also at quality 1 saves 3 jades.

[steep tusk]

Use Staff of the Wild during Elder and watch the vine battle 👀

[crisp drift]

Thanks dude!

[peak halo]

I enjoy playing with the knife, but I wonder if I'm supposed to equip a shield too for it or not. Dodging seems like it's working nicely, but when I fight multiple mobs, the dodge roll feels too long compared to parry. Does having a shield a clear upgrade except the move speed malus? Or does my parry also suffer with a shield? How about sneak/backstab, are those affected at all? Note: I'm still in the bronze age.

[tired root]

Having shield doesn't affect your effectiveness with knife negatively, you can parry enemies more reliably when you equip shield as they generally have more block armor than knives alone.

Shields have -5% penalty to movement speed tho (tower shields -10%), but it's not that noticeable as knife doesn't have any penalty.

[peak halo]

Interesting.. so I still utilize block armor during a parry? I thought -purely based on the naming- that block armor is for blocking and parry is separated.

[tired root]

Block armor is for both blocking and parrying, but parry adds the multiplier to the total block armor.

Normal shields have 1,5x multiplier for parries and bucklers 2,5x. Generally normal shields are good for both blocks and parries and bucklers superior for parrying but inferior for regular blocks.

With bronze buckler you can parry troll even.

[peak halo]

Do the parry bonuses stack together then? since the knife has 4x and the buckler has 2.5x I thought its going to be a downgrade.

[true steeple]

Parry bonus is only taken from the blocking item

[true steeple]

The buckler has much higher block armor so it parries better even with the lower multiplier

[tired root]

Only with the shield.

When shield is equipped its blocking stats takes over, if you block without shield then the weapon stats are applied to the block.

[true steeple]

This is why I want parry armor to be shown as a total value and not a multiplier

[lean island]

hye guys i am about to buy valheim, i was wondering, becasue i play on pc and an xbox, can i play my account on both?

[tired root]

Afaik no.

[true steeple]

If you buy valheim for Xbox you’ll be able to play it on pc too and crossplay with friends on steam

[peak halo]

How about the damage bonus after a parry? The enemies get staggered for a bit and take additional damage. Is that additional damage taken multiplier the same amount with and without the shield?

[true steeple]

Staggered enemies always take 2x damage, how they are staggered doesn’t matter

[tired root]

Always 2x damage.

[peak halo]

Thanks guys. it seems shield or more precisly a bucker is the clear way to go then with the dagger. I was kinda hoping to equip dual daggers but that does not work, maybe with later tech 🙂

[lean island]

ok so buy it on xbox and download it on pc through xbox app?

[tired root]

Game doesn't allow wielding 2 different one handed weapons at the same time, but there are some dual wielded weapons that count as 2 handed weapon in technicality. There is actually dual wielded knives in 6th biome.

[peak halo]

That's nice. I tried the dual bear fists, but felt slow and lame compared to single dagger. 6th biome tho.. I hope at that point I will be able to shoot some fireballs instead 😄

[tired root]

Don't underestimate bear claws, they're neat and effective. Their secondary attack has 6x stagger multiplier and they also have same backstab multiplier as knives.
And about fireballs, ||you're in luck when you get there||.

[high phoenix]

I also have to be smarter than a troll and remember its not crafted on the table itself ... its just "crafting" ... I feel soooo dumb

[spare ravine]

HAH! ok yeah thats funny

[molten mirage]

wait, fist weapon have secondary attack?
Isn't that just a kick?

[tired root]

Yes, but the just kick has 6x stagger multiplier.

[molten mirage]

Does is use the base atk of the weap?

[tired root]

Damage stays same for the kick, the difference is the stagger multiplier.

Kicking Fuling berserker with Fenris claws can easily stagger it.

Common tactic against bigger opponents is starting with a kick to stagger and then using primary attacks until it's dead.

[drowsy crane]

I like to jump in with a flying kick so I can land my kick before they can even think about attacking.

[tired root]

And encountering even starred berserker: when it starts to roar then it is right time for that sprint jump kick and then another kick and it gets staggered.

[drowsy crane]

True true, build that stagger

[molten mirage]

Dayum.. I never thought that's possible..

Do u have more tips for using fists?
I want to try it on my next run.

I thought fist is one of the worst since the atk speed is too slow while the dmg is subpar to weaps like dagger.

[drowsy crane]

Any weapon with high attack speed and low stam usage allows you to circle an enemy, enemies like a blob won't consider attacking unless directly facing you. If you learn to strike and circle fast enough, you can stop some attacks from ever happening.

[tired root]

The attack pattern is 2 hit combo, each second hit of the combo dealing 2x damage.

You can use the "first hit miss" tactic by landing the second hit on target, dealing higher damage and possibly staggering it if it's smaller enemy. Using that with bear claws can stagger basic fuling.

Also, with the backstab multiplier of 6x you can deal devastating damage with the 2nd hit, like here: #memes-and-clips message

[inner maple]

Do workbenches stop items from despawning in a sphere or a cylinder?

[thorn spire]

I'm fairly certain the build area is a cylinder, so I would assume the despawn aoe would be the same.

[inner maple]

That makes sense, I can build where I am so it should be fine. Thanks

[lean island]

how often does your base get raided to be defended?

[spare ravine]

its less that your base needs to be defended and more that you need to defend yourself often while your have your pants down

It happens once in a while. It shouldnt be a large concern for you. Also your base never gets attacked while you arent there.

[tired root]

Each 46 minutes there is 20% chance an event to occur when there are minimum of 3 base build items near you and you're not inside a dungeon, which event it will be depends on your progression and certain restrictions they can have (biome, certain enemy killed etc).

[lean island]

Ok sounds fun

[tired root]

And like said above, your base stays relatively safe if you go outside of it during any event.

[split pebble]

How do raid spawns work

If i build a fence around the area, how far should it be from everything

[steep tusk]

You think they care about your fence?

[true steeple]

I might be wrong here but I think the way creatures spawn around the player is similar to the way they spawn naturally.
The best way to protect your base is to go outside during a raid, enemies only destroy whatever build pieces they need to that get in the way of their target.

[split pebble]

Well im hoping to delay the attack on my boars

Because i just almost lost what is a half hour process

[steep tusk]

Yeah... drakes and bats can fly so a fence isn't going to stop that. 😬

[split pebble]

Didnt even know about those enemies

[steep tusk]

-# Imagine a deathsquito raid 👀

[true steeple]

You’ll want to have tamed animals in a position where you can be closer to the enemies than they are so enemies target you instead of them

[split pebble]

Damn so im gonna have to move the boars somehow

[true steeple]

So don’t have them on the edge of your base

[true steeple]

Making a fence around them so enemies can’t stand too close would work

[thorn spire]

Just build an enclosed pen with a roof.

They don't need sunlight.

[steep tusk]

If you genuinely like the aesthetic of animal pens for your boars (and other animals), I recommend turning raids off in the world options.

[thorn spire]

I always keep my boars in a barn.

[split pebble]

Its not the aesthetic mostly but having a supply of leather close by without having to hunt once i get the butchers knife

[thorn spire]

turn on pvp and you don't need the knife.

[split pebble]

Wait really?

[steep tusk]

Keep progressing honestly.
All the leather you want and more is in the swamp mixed with the iron. 🤷‍♂️

[thorn spire]

yeah, pvp on means you can attack anything of your faction.

[steep tusk]

Knife is faster early because it one-shots.

[thorn spire]

that's true

[split pebble]

Will the others turn on me

[thorn spire]

nope

[split pebble]

Oh

[thorn spire]

you can still slaughter them one at a time.

[split pebble]

Well thats gonna be at least 5x faster

[steep tusk]

Not early, no.

Once you have a battleaxe then yes, much faster.

But by that time you don't need all the boars because swamp just shovels leather at you.

[split pebble]

I have trouble finding boars around where i set up so i dont wanna have to always move around the world just to get some leather

Especially for small projects

[thorn spire]

Sevrahn is right, you won't need the boars once you get into the third biome.

[split pebble]

Im also still not that close to the third biome i imagine anyway

I mean eitkthyr was easy but the wolves in the mountains absolutely annihilate me in seconds

[thorn spire]

because you're meant to hunt them after you get to the swamp.

mountain is fourth biome in progression.

[split pebble]

Oh

I didnt even know about the swamp until you guys mentioned it

I always either run into a bf or mountain

They alway seem to be right behind a black forest so i expected them to be next

[thorn spire]

that's not surprising. When you get there, you'll appreciate having mountains nearby.

[steep tusk]

So I am about to attempt to dig something I probably shouldn't, and in prep for that I want to copy my current save file for a fast revert if it goes to shit.
But... I forgot where save files are at? 😭

[compact heath]

local low something irongate something, valheim something -- world_local unless you have saved to cloud

I normally keep the folder on my desktop a link to it because of PTB stuff in case something breaks and do backups often manual ones

[steep tusk]

Appreciated.

[obsidian olive]

Hey sorry to butt into anything everyone but I found this in a dark forest.

It was supposed to be a in a burial chamber.

[compact heath]

that looks like #mods-issues have you got any installed?

[pure mango]

I got a wolf hunt raid whilst at home hmm

I think this base might have broken something, I havent had any normal raids yet

[drowsy crane]

The only requirements are defeating Bonemass and being in the mountains/plains. Are you meeting those requirements at your base?

[pure mango]

Ah yea, base is in the plains

I thought maybe you could only get it if you were away from base

[drowsy crane]

That'll do it 😅

[tired root]

They don't require base items nearby, just being in plains is enough, even in your base.

[pure mango]

Still strange though how I've been here a while and I've got no raids here other than wolves, which is the only one that can trigger whilst youre not in your base

[tired root]

You've gotten good rng so far for not triggering events then.

[drowsy crane]

It's better than goblin raids 👀

Fulings rather

[obsidian olive]

No.

I don’t think I do. I’m using brothers pc. Nothing odd has been appearing a lot until that cave.

[karmic charm]

Stupid question: Is there a way to change the hotbar from 1-8 to other keys?

[frosty frost]

Not afaik sadly

[karmic charm]

Damn :/

[true bane]

Any recommendations for getting rid of two ogres and a bear? I would like to retrieve my belongings that are in the tomb 🥲

[frosty frost]

Make them chase you for a bit and make a circle around the tomb untill you can get inside 🙂

[quiet beacon]

I died in ||the swamp|| and now I can't get my items back because everything one hits me

Should I leave and reequip, or try to get my stuff back now?

[true bane]

Yes, I'll try. The thing is, I'm surrounded by water and mountains.

[frosty frost]

I usually do a naked retrieval run 😄 but if that doesent work out for you you can always reequip or ask for help ofc

[glad current]

Stuff your gob with high stamina foods, the best you’ve got, and sprint for it. Most swamp denizens are slow

[quiet beacon]

I tried that, but...

[frosty frost]

Ooof, are you running from the house each time?

[quiet beacon]

it's not as far as it looks

I did it

what should I collect in the swamp?

[frosty frost]

What have you found so far? 🙂

[glad current]

Turnip seeds

[frosty frost]

😄 look for structures with green torches next

[quiet beacon]

ok thanks

[glad current]

Sorry, I was answering uno’s question 😅 They should collect turnip seeds

[rocky sphinx]

would it show me the bog witch if she was in the swamp to the left side?

winds against me and i dont have moder buff so i cant sail there rn

[frosty frost]

Might have, might have not, depends how big the swamp is

[rocky sphinx]

need to explore that swamp fr

[glad current]

Start paddlin’!

[true bane]

Is there any way to dive into the water to collect an item? I killed an ogre and now I can't collect its skin because it fell into the sea...

[frosty frost]

Jump from high up 🙂

[true bane]

Thx! (God save the physics of this game)

[static flower]

https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Smoothbrain/ServerCharacters/ is this mod working as of right now?

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[static flower]

here seems more lively

[frosty frost]

Yes but also without people knowledgeable about mods 🙂 and we try to keep convos in correct channels

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[steep tusk]

We try... Smiffe turns all channels into #general when he arrives though 😉😏

[glad current]

While I don’t use this mod, I’ve seen several other servers that do, and it seems to be current and operational

[naive vale]

Turnip seeds, yellow flowers.
Entrails - Draugr
Bloodbags - Leeches
And thistle is always good.

Sorry late answer but that is my go-to things to gather from swamp. And yes try to find swamp dungeons so structures with green torches.

[quiet beacon]

ok thanks

do pigs drop more meat when they aren't hungry?

[frosty frost]

Nope, the hungry/happy status just means if they will or will not breed 🙂

[steep tusk]

Fracturing - am I trying to hit the target itself or shoot at the ground in front of them?

[true steeple]

I try to aim directly at the target

[steep tusk]

Rank 2 Fracturing should be more damage than Rank 3 Embers but it just... isn't looking like it.

So I am wondering if I am using Fracturing wrong 😭

[peak halo]

Is this going to be 75 block force when I parry or 105?

[steep tusk]

Force and Armor are separate things and parry bonus affects only Armor.

[true steeple]

Parry bonus only multiplies armor

another reason it should be displayed as total parry armor and not a multiplier

[steep tusk]

Balance parrying first, then worry about tooltips. 😉

[peak halo]

Okay.. let me try this again.. so is this going to be 23x2.5(57.5) when we parry or 23x3.5(80.5) ?

[true steeple]

23 x 2.5

[split pebble]

Are there battle axes that are different from the regular wood axe

Cause i mean, its a norse setting game

[tacit breach]

There are nice big battle axes,

I think iron gives the first one. Now.

[near creek]

I got a random question is valheim crossplay?
My gf is sick of online competative games
i have valheim on steam
she wants to buy it on xbox
she only has an xxboxx

so can we both play together crossplay PC - Xbox?

[tacit breach]

It is.

[split pebble]

I believe it is but dont take my word for it

[tacit breach]

Just select crossplay.

[split pebble]

Its also coming to playstation soon

If that matters to you at all

[tired root]

Pre Call to Arms there was just 2 battleaxes, iron and Crystal (silver/Mountain tier). Now post update we got 2 new ones, blackmetal and Skull Splittur (Mistlands tier).

[split pebble]

They sound expensive, im surprised that one of the first weapons wasnt a battle axe considering the reason the norse used axes over swords was cause they were cheaper to make

At least from what i remember learning

[tacit breach]

They aren't really worried about realism when it comes to crafting. Which over all I am thankful for.

[split pebble]

Realism can be cool when done right, if it cant be done right then id rather it not happen at all i guess

[tired root]

Think about the cost as justified when repairing your gear is free.

[split pebble]

Im surprised they made that free too

[tacit breach]

I'd never want building structures to be realistic. Not in games like Valheim, at least.

[tired root]

At least I think it's justified due to that fact. 👍

[split pebble]

Thats funny cause i find the whole structural integrity a rare thing in gaming even when games try to be realistic

Its an annoying feature but also fun to have to think around

[tacit breach]

Even so, building in Valheim is still FAR from being realistic. It wouldn't go nearly as fast if it tried to be.

[frosty frost]

Well, "soon" 😄 we only know its gonna be 2026

[split pebble]

Which is not far off now

[frosty frost]

It can be few months, or maybe a year 😄

[tacit breach]

We technically don't know when it will be. We are still just guessing.

[split pebble]

I assumed its gonna be early 2026 but i just got back into valheim cause my room was being redone so i havnt been keeping up well enough to know

[tacit breach]

We seem to agree that some time in 2026 is a good guess, but its still a guess at this point.

[split pebble]

Wait did they not even say itd be 2026

[tacit breach]

IG won't announce a release until about 90 days before.

[frosty frost]

We are talking PS release 😄 not DN
For PS release they did say 2026

[split pebble]

Whats dn

[frosty frost]

Deep North, the final and also 1.0 update

[split pebble]

Oh this game is still in early access, didnt even notice

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[split pebble]

Is 1.0 the next major update

[frosty frost]

Yep

[split pebble]

Nice

[frosty frost]

And we dont know when that will be, only info we have is that they dont plan any updates for end of this year

[split pebble]

So no christmas gifts from the devs

[frosty frost]

Not in the form of Deep North, no 😄

[tacit breach]

Maybe a nice huge Christmas tree. About the height of the Maypole. Just something I'd like to see, because we used to decorate such a tree outside of my grand parents house.

Many decades ago.

[glad current]

You can stack the existing Yule trees around a central support to give the illusion of a big tree

[tacit breach]

Excellent idea. I'll have to give that a try when they give us that build next month.

[glad current]

I can snag a screenshot of the one I made once I’m home from work

[golden quest]

🙁

[brittle mauve]

my progress has hit a total wall just because i haven't been able to build a base in the plains that i'm happy with

[compact heath]

just plop down a tiny farm area for now before you get the perfect spot and creativity, do some of the POI in plains and don't worry about them, chances are you will spend lots of time there to look for plains boss anyway if playing solo, hardest boss to find unless you're really lucky

[drowsy crane]

You can always experiment and lay things out in an alternate world with the same seed. There are commands to build things without cost, and fly to make it that much easier.

Just be sure you also make a new character if you don't want the character to have the "Cheater!" label in the stat readout.

[compact heath]

I also learned recently that some mods might give you the cheater tag without you noticing easily, gotta be careful with that

[limpid cape]

im hosting an ubuntu valheim server, i have an exception for the firewall and i have a port on my router, but when i try to type in the ip and port it says "the input is not a valid ip"

[long moss]

hey are you able to just add all mods just client sided? Are there any that actually HAVE to be on server? it seems like almost everything I add to my game just works

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[light dragon]

Hey Y'all is there anywhere that people go to upload their worlds/builds for people to explore?

[frosty frost]

Not on discord, no, since there is a limit on how large files you can send

But you can share pics of your builds and cool stuff throughout your world in channels like #screenshots and #building-screenshots 🙂

[thorny turtle]

I'd like to apologize about my previous statements, turns out an unused cable slipped inside the gpu's vent and made it short circuit at random
Everything's fine, Valheim wasn't at fault XD
As for my friend, he needed to update the BIOS, strangely enough because the pc was brand new

[golden quest]

Anyone wanna help me?

[smoky acorn]

Best to go ahead and ask your question (though consider #mods-issues if modded or #dedicated-server if it's about the vanilla dedicated server). Worst case, no one has an answer, but chances are someone will.

[golden quest]

I just want someone to play the game withhh

[blissful sundial]

Ello, you guys think valheim would work on a laptop without a GPU

This is my processer: Snapdragon(R) X Plus - X1P42100 - Qualcomm(R) Oryon(TM) CPU (3.24 GHz)

Ram is 16 GB

I'll just install and see

[blissful sundial]

ey it works but with minimum graphic settings

[lapis terrace]

no

as soon as you hit a snowstorm in the mountains, the acid rain in swamps or later stages of the game. it will be borderline unplayable

[true steeple]

Acid rain

[lapis terrace]

but if you don't care going sub 30 FPS. it's on you 🤔

[lapis terrace]

it's also a song 😄

[lapis terrace]

||the yellow rain by bonemass||

[peak halo]

When I put down a wood tile, it consists of 4 parts. Now if I am highlighting it, the "pattern is off by 1 part". This is driving me crazy 😄 How can I fix this?

[lapis terrace]

don't highlight it?

[peak halo]

I do not think this was the situation with my other building.. so I am asking how to do it differently, what am I missing.

[drowsy crane]

Do you mean the board with the spacing?

[peak halo]

yes

[drowsy crane]

That's intended, imperfect perfection if you will.

[peak halo]

I dont mind the spacing.. what I mind is that it's after the 3rd part not the forth.. then we have 4 without the spacing.. but that is a different tile

if that makes sense.

[drowsy crane]

It does, it's just not meant to give you perfect patterns, because it's a crude building made by a viking, not a minecraft block 😛

You can rotate the tile 180 degrees to offset the pattern even further, to emulate more of a slapped together feeling, if that helps break the pattern feel for you.

Some players like to do spiraled patterns like this
| | |☰
☰| | |

[peak halo]

I think I built my buildings in the past like the right side.. and I started out like the left here which was the issue. Okay 🙂 I can work with the right version 😛

left looks super out of place and I was wondering what am I doing wrong 🙂

[drowsy crane]

Not to worry, you will get used to it! It will take away from repeating patterns, which can feel less realistic.

[prime mirage]

my medal clips are so janky (only on valheim) they keep freezing and making the game look like its lagging intensely (even when it isnt) is there a way to remedy this?

i noticed that one i clipped yesterday was really smooth its so bizzare

[drowsy crane]

Have you tried adjusting graphic settings when recording? What other games record smoothly?

[prime mirage]

literally every other game i have that medal can clip from is really smooth and no i haven't, it was only smooth when i defeated yagluth n clipped it. what setting should i be changing?

[drowsy crane]

Anything to lighten the load on your GPU, I am asking because you could be recording NES games from 1985 for all I know, just trying to gauge what is and isn't working for your system.

[steep tusk]

Or you're in for a fun time when you get to stone and marble. 😄

[signal dew]

is there anyone i can join that has some advanced resources i can learn recipies from? i just want to build in my home world

[blissful sundial]

Im getting 60

[lapis terrace]

all settings low?

in medows biome I assume

[blissful sundial]

At starting location and with majority settings low

Two options are at medium

[lapis terrace]

you can press F2 key ingame to get instance and FPS numbers if you want to see

I wonder when you go sub 30FPS tho 🤔

[steep river]

Hi! I'm at the edge of a swamp and I'm trying to find a giant herring. I keep getting the "it's not taking the bait" message all the time.. I've tried every single bait and I just keep getting that text

[languid salmon]

You need the sticky fish bait

And if you still get that message it's probably a different kind of fish going for the bait

[steep river]

ahh lol i'm stupid xD I read stingy and didn't realize, thanks!

[languid salmon]

Welcome 👍

[spare ravine]

acid swamps coming in hot in 2026 yall! 100% confirmed!

[tired root]

They can be easily mistaken as they have quite similar coloring too.

[steep river]

Btw does it always require a right-click to hook the fish? Just trying to minmax the distance 😁

[glad current]

Acid 🫠 swamps or acid 😵‍💫 swamps?

[tired root]

When you see the waves caused by fish trying to catch the bait then you start reeling.

[spare ravine]

yes

[quiet beacon]

im I underequipped for the swamp?

[steep tusk]

Would swap trinket over to Bronze Pendant.
Drop the jerky.
And you need only 1 stack of arrows.

[quiet beacon]

I only use the jerky for travelling and will leave it in a chest near the swamp. the other arrows are just for hunting and I will not bring them

Should I bring fire arrows?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[quiet beacon]

Why the Bronze Pendant? I know stamina regeneration is important, but I would prefer health for big fights

[steep tusk]

Health regen is based only off your food.
So it sucks.

On top of it sucking, the health per tick of food is a decaying stat, so it gets worse as your day goes, making health regen suck even more.

Your current food is healing you for 8 every 10 seconds.
That 8 total will not be 8 after some time has passed, but even if it was -- Heart of the Forrest giving you 25% would be +2, every 10s, for 60s.
In total giving you... 12 health. 😮 MUCH BIG, SO USEFUL.
Compared to very real power of +25% stamina regen for 60s.

If you want a trinket that provides meaningful heals during combat -- you're close to getting one. Iron Brooch is fantastic in that it gives you an immediate +50 heal and increases your armor for 30s.

(By comparison, the maximum amount Heart of the Forrest can heal you for if you're running the highest, Ashlands-tier food in the game is 22.5).

[quiet beacon]

thanks for all the info

[steep tusk]

💛

[quiet beacon]

also Bronze Pendant looks a lot better

[drowsy crane]

Heart of the Forest is actually extremely useful, though Sevrahn is making it out to be lesser, I found it to be much better against strong enemies like starred bears or anything in the swamp. The Health regen encourages staying in the fight, and potentially chain activating the trinket as well. Coupled with the full bear set, the health regen is quite enormous, then there's also the rested buff to consider.

[quiet beacon]

but Bronze Pendant looks better

[drowsy crane]

Ah I see I've wasted my time, enjoy then 😛

[steep tusk]

The actual math supports it sucking, but 🤷‍♂️

[drowsy crane]

Anytime I've activated stamina regen I was nearly full, where the times I've activated health regen, I always welcomed it. The utility is likely case by case basis, not so much just math.

[quiet beacon]

Good to know, but I prefer a playstyle focused on dodging

[drowsy crane]

Dodging perfectly refunds stamina, so you won't need regen as much.

[quiet beacon]

interesting

[steep tusk]

If we're talking just Heart vs. Pendant - valid.
Moment you Iron Brooch though, it is just flat-out better.

[drowsy crane]

Those little sparks will indicate if you've done a perfect dodge.

Oh Iron Brooch is leagues ahead we agree there.

Iron Brooch coupled with Bonemass is just mean to anything daring to try.

[steep tusk]

Genuinely haven't touched Bonemass because of how good Elder and Moder are now.

[drowsy crane]

I'm just giving them all a go after being unlocked, it's my first new character since the change.

[steep tusk]

Landed in Ashlands as a mage, got staff of the Wild, kept being mage until I got my Ling Axes, time to switch back 😄

[calm ice]

Hello, I logged in today and realised my character save simply dissapeared.

There is still some other characters I created long time ago but not this one. It was saved on the cloud, I checked the files on the Valheim Cloud and it doesn't appear.

The particular thing with that character is that I changed its name using a hexadecimal editor. But I did that long ago and I've never had any problem with that. Could it be a reason for my file just vanishing ? Is there a way to recover it ?

This character was over 200 hours of farming, I would be so grateful if someone has a solution 😄

[lapis terrace]

did you crash last time before you saved?

[calm ice]

No, I'm pretty sure I didn't

[quiet beacon]

It is very helpful in the swamp because your stamina regen is slower because there is water everywhere

[drowsy crane]

I found that to be less than helpful because it still needs to be activated in combat, and if you're skilled enough, combat doesn't cost very much stamina.

Where things like poison can occur, I still found health regen to be a plus.

[quiet beacon]

attacking also takes a lot of stamina

but for bosses it might be better

[drowsy crane]

Ah, that might be the result of me taking time to train my skill level up, I don't feel much stamina loss with each weapon around level 40.

[quiet beacon]

I'm at level 38 for sword and it still uses 8 stamina

[drowsy crane]

Is that what it says when you hover the sword?

[quiet beacon]

stamina use: 8

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, the stat readout isn't going to display the exact stamina usage alongside your skill level. I'm currently training fist weapons, level 28, they say stamina use: 10, but I'm only using 8.

[quiet beacon]

it also uses 8

[drowsy crane]

Yeah that can't be correct if you're level 38.

(I'm going off your screenshot, are you not still using a bronze sword?)

[quiet beacon]

oh wait I think it's less then 8 but I can't check because I'm on a ship

I don't have good wind this might take some time

[quiet beacon]

it's 7 stamina

[drowsy crane]

Alright that's pretty good so far 😄

[frail cave]

Did they make merchants more rare?

[tacit breach]

Supposedly not, but I had a heck of a time finding Haldor in my current solo play through. Found the other two relatively easily.

[frosty frost]

Just as rng as they always were 😄

[mental dragon]

HEllo. How can other players in my server fly? I already activated devcommands and debugmode.

[tired root]

Only host can use console commands.

[mental dragon]

So only the host can fly? That sucks

[tired root]

There might be mods to allow others use them too, but better ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍

[calm ice]

@lapis terrace Do you know if there is a way to recover it ?

[lapis terrace]

um maybe

there can be problems with steam cloud sync if valheim crashes during saving

[coarse relic]

Yooo can i get help on optimising settings

Game is kinda lagging, and i don't want to sacrifice much of looks either

[tired root]

[undone monolith]

the dodge effect I noticed today while practicing.

for comparison, these small sparks are the common dodge effect

[undone monolith]

the other one has a bigger orange circle around the character and sometimes bigger sparks around it too. We can see some of the bigger sparks it the last pic here.

on other occasions I got the sparks during the entire effect. so it is slightly different sometimes, I suppose.

[cobalt ember]

Big wave around your character, I'm also seeing a 1:00 timer on the top of your screen indicating you just gained a new status effect, and seeing as how you said you're using pulsating earrings; Your trinket is just triggering because you reached its adrenaline requirement by dodging the twig's attacks

At least it looks like a 1:00

[undone monolith]

it was. It was the earrings.

I guess that explains it!

[cobalt ember]

Indeed

[undone monolith]

I can try to dodge without earrings, just to see. But that might be it indeed.

Mystery solved haha Thanks!

Does this effect happens with all trinkets? (not just the earrings)

[cobalt ember]

Yes

[steady viper]

(results may vary *)

I did all of that stuff just to see what it does and I noticed no difference at all, but I keep my game from blasting through my fans in the first place, so that might be why

Hi. Quick question about updates in Valhaim.
If the biome in the north gets its update, will the north also update in my world? Or do I have to start a new world so it will add the new things to it?

[glad current]

If you haven’t explored/generated it yet, it will update

[lapis terrace]

yes

new things will automaticly apear in your north biome

but if you have run around up there, not all things will spawn as expected

[gusty rampart]

Oh. Oh damn. I alr did

[lapis terrace]

it depends on "how much"

usually

[gusty rampart]

A little. A few islands maybe

Can I maybe reverse my exploration in the north in some way? Devcommands or by editing a save file?

[glad current]

Well, keep in mind also the game generates beyond where you’ve uncovered on the map. But since we don’t have a release date yet, don’t worry about it coming soon

[gusty rampart]

K. But still. I love that world. Maybe I have to google some for a way to copy the very world. I mean so it generates the the same way but ofc with the new stuff. Cause this is my first world and features many neat locations. Like really great ones I will probably never find again

Anyway thx for the help you guys

[tired root]

Can you post screenshot of the revealed area and we might be able to tell better? One way to reverse it would be loading backup save before you went there.
