[frosty frost]

Well, depends on rng 🙂 but you really only need to find 1 altar for each boss, they all might have multiple locations but thats just for your convenience really. 😁

[worn barn]

After @frosty frost replied I realized that there is only the one vesivigir for the the first boss there at the stones, you wouldn't find one elsewhere and yeah, you'd just have to stumble across the first boss w/o having clicked on that. And yes, as Asatru pointed out you will only need to find one for each boss, and something I should have added regarding the proposed tedium, well, the chances that you'll run across a vesivigir during the course of normal play is actually fairly high. I've been through a few worlds now and it's really only the one or two rare occasion that I suffer to find them.

[steep tusk]

The bird also sits directly on top of it.

But so many people ignore the bird 😭

[solemn osprey]

I would definitely check that the roof is prefectly locked in. Also if the roof is far enough above with no overhang, rain can be blown in sideways.

[frail cave]

Any tips on what I should bring to the Bonemass fight?

[tired root]

||Iron mace|| and ||poison resistance mead|| are BiS.

[frail cave]

Thanks

[atomic magnet]

I was thinking of that..I got lazy this time ( i usually plan to build small and then my storage alone is 10x12) so I found a small house online and copied it there is no overhang. I should add one. However the leak is mid roof on the right side…has pieces all around…at least the one where I saw drips….there were other damaged boards but I could have just missed those when I repaired after finishing the roof

[placid plaza]

Can pigs not eat through walls anymore?

I returned after a while and i noticed that my pig farm isnt working because my pigs at the top won't eat food dropped on the other side of the wall

pic for context

[junior dirge]

no you always need 2 how can yall survive without a display trophy as well man

[frosty frost]

1 altar 😉

[junior dirge]

wait what

you can summon 2 from one altar?

[true steeple]

You can even have multiple spawned at the same time

[junior dirge]

bro that would’ve saved me so many fucking mountains man

[tired root]

Yeah, same altar can be used as many times as you want with items required to sacrifice.

[junior dirge]

dude I wish I knew that

I used 3 moder trophies just for deco

[tired root]

You really searched for 3 Moder altars?

I mean that's quite a task and many mountains to search from.

[junior dirge]

4 altars

one for the stones too mate 😭

[tired root]

Heh.

[junior dirge]

I had to make a second world for the fourth

so yeah that would have been amazing to know earlier lol

[tired root]

Well, at least now you know. Makes your next playthrough easier.

[olive ocean]

yes

rethrow it if they dont eat, takes a couple tries for me usually

[gusty rampart]

Hi. Whats better? Staff of fracturing or the Dundr?

Or staff of ember? Cause the staff of fracturing seems to be a mix between those 2 but without lightning damage

[molten mirage]

Use dundr and ember for close and long range respectively.
Fracturing is only good if u can hit the enemy with the projectile, not the explosion, which is really hard on smaller/fast enemies. While ember will give u consistent damage even if u only hit enemies with its explosion.

[gusty rampart]

So ember is better and dundr good for even closer combat

[molten mirage]

Imo yes. But if u somehow master the projectile aiming, fracturing is supposed to have higher dmg ceiling than ember.

Dundr still the best for close range tho

[gusty rampart]

I see. So fracturing is better afterall but only if i master the aim. Good to know. WHat weird is tough that fracturing deals 12 blunt and 12 fire while ember deals 120 each. Is the 12 per projectile after explosion?

[molten mirage]

Yeah, that's the thing.. Those dmg is for each of the smol pebbles that came after the projectil hit something.

[gusty rampart]

Ah. And all those together deal more dm than ember. Alr. Thx. Guess imma train my aim a lil

[molten mirage]

Yeah. 12 pebbles in total.

[true steeple]

Because the damage is copied to each projectile the damage increase per upgrade is much higher than other weapons

[molten mirage]

Definitely aimed to use against big enemies and boss fights

[gusty rampart]

Nice. Very nice. A skill weapon

[vague pulsar]

Hey I need some help, been trying to get a dedicated server up and running in AMP but for some reason the port keeps saying it's not opened. I have my server DMZ'd, all ports are opened. Any tips? I can run and play the game and host client side fine but that's not optimal for me and my friends for when I am working since I work from home.

The UDP 2456 does not want to open locally and there is no conflicts

[light rampart]

Hi! I need help my game crash out, i hev one server in 1236 days, but i die in mistland and my game crash, i open the game again and the server starts in 1232 days, and my portals and itens change and my itens droped by death vannish
How fix it?

[subtle parrot]

Check your backups for the most recent save from before the crash and try to restore the save, otherwise you'll have to redo those few days or just Spawn in what you lost with devcommands

[light rampart]

backups on my computer? or in cloud? i use steam to play the game

[subtle parrot]

It will be in game, go to the select world menu and click the manage saves button, from there you can see your worlds saves and restore from there

But i play on xbox so it may be different for steam

[wild kelp]

yo i was looking for some help trying to setup a server for me and my firends to beat the game and dont really know what server host tot use if anyone could help please dm me

[thorn spire]

folks in #dedicated-server might be able to help.

[wild kelp]

ok

[narrow lintel]

That’s a good idea. Thank you!
They look slightly different, that’s why I wasn’t sure but it does look close enough. Next time I’ll do that though!

[cyan oriole]

I've found 3 skulls, yes skulls not just ribs, in the mistlands and they've all been empty, with no soft tissue at all. I dug as far as possible. anyone know what could be causing this?
I only have 3 mods (AzuCraftyBoxes, PlantEasily, and TorchesAndResin) which don't affect mistlands??

[lavish cypress]

might not be mod related tbh, i have had very weird bugs and i play without mods

[cyan oriole]

yeah I didn't think it was mod related, but I feel like thats the first question

[lavish cypress]

tue

true*

[last sparrow]

That has happened to me a few times, never in a row though. Possibly unlucky, is this the first mistlands biome you are exploring on that world?

[cyan oriole]

yes its the first mistlands

[last sparrow]

Id say try to find another skull in that biome, if that one is empty also, then try to find another biome and find a skull there, if THAT one is empty then possibly something is wrong with the generated world? Not sure how else i could help you 🙁

[cyan oriole]

yeah, I'm gonna keep searching, thanks!

[last sparrow]

GL!

[lavish cypress]

damn i would cry

its already such a tough biome to grind

[last sparrow]

The landscape is the worst haha

[lavish cypress]

yess i wish we got a double jump instead of a feather fall, but would be too much i think

[cyan oriole]

5 skulls in a row with no soft tissue 🙁

all in the same biome, guess I'll check another in a different time

[tired root]

Odd, in my experience skulls should always have tissue inside.

[cyan oriole]

yeah I'm so confused

[tired root]

Since you mentioned using mods you could ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 if those can cause said problem.
Mods can cause unexpected problems in the game unfortunately.

I've played the game since 2021 and played lot of Mistlands content and never had encountered empty skulls.

[keen locust]

I wrote in suggestions but my post gets removed even though I have the light 💡

[soft notch]

Maybe check the message that the dev dropped you in #suggestion-discussion

[frail cave]

What are the best foods for the Mountain biome?

[wheat holly]

How do the skelletons of the stuff which summons them do against mistland enemies? 😄

[molten mirage]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18CIv39YFMqIhB8horGHsp2OrTB4e5zcscHPotUR8MbU/

[molten mirage]

they're pretty good. can take around 5 hits from seekers. more if u support them with barriers

although they're dead in single hit (2 if you're lucky) from soldiers blunt dmg

[next veldt]

Server Optimization
Guys, I have a question: how do I properly optimize a server if, say, 10-15 players gather in one place and have many buildings (community buildings, players' private homes) in one part of the island? We have a 2 CORE / 8 GB DDR4 / 30 SSD NVME plan. We have optimization plugins installed (and this has made the process a bit easier, as previously, even with six players in one place, everything would freeze): Network, ReturnToSender. But my server members told me there are other servers where several dozen people play and nothing freezes at all, and the buildings are so huge that they can take up almost most of the island, and everything runs smoothly. But another person said that the freezing isn't due to the server, but to the game engine, which can't handle more than 10 players in one place and large buildings. Who should I trust? What should I do? How can I optimize it, if it's possible? I'm preparing to launch my server.

[jovial rock]

why do ppl reccomend silver weapons for the plains boss?

[glad current]

He's undead, and takes extra damage from silver

[jovial rock]

ah alr

[frosty frost]

Considering that the server limit Is 10 there Is merit to the person saying the game isnt designed for more 😉

[next veldt]

But how do other servers accommodate dozens of people and huge structures without disrupting the enjoyment of gameplay?

[frosty frost]

Generally, they don't, the game Is meant to be played with few close friends or people you trust. When people go outside the intended way of playing there are issues.

[cosmic cedar]

What does the hive seat do after you kill the queen?

[frosty frost]

You can summon her again, like thenother bosses 🙂

3 Soldier trophies ar needed iirc

[stone epoch]

The wiki seems a bit incomplete for pickaxe damage. What enemies are able to do tier 5 pickaxe damage?

[true steeple]

I could look through all of the attacks later, I don’t know right now

[frail cave]

How am I supposed to get my gear back from the middle of the mountain?

[glad current]

A lot of stamina foods, frost resistant mead, and Odin’s blessing

[stone epoch]

Do stars increase the level of pickaxe damage? For example, does a morgen do level 3 pickaxe, but a 2 star morgen does level 5?

[true steeple]

It probably only increases the damage, not the tool tier. I still can’t check it right now

[steep tusk]

Monsters shouldn't do tool damage 😭😭😭

[stone epoch]

Is the middle tower weaker than the walls? Because you can break the middle tower with a pickaxe, I think

[split pebble]

do i break this

[crystal kiln]

why would you?

[split pebble]

cause i cant do anything else to it it seems

i tried aiming my cursor at the orb but nothing pops up

[crystal kiln]

its decoration, just let it be there

[split pebble]

oh, ambience, neat

[crystal kiln]

well, in the biome its supposed to spawn in its actually helpful
but that biome starts a few steps across the water

[split pebble]

was it supposed to be in the mistlands cause i just walked into one just now

[crystal kiln]

aye, thats where it is supposed to spawn but generation at biome edges is a bit iffy

also you are way undergeared for mistlands right now, so be careful

[split pebble]

ye its like right next to the biome, i walked a few steps from the small tower and the mist immediatly showed

[split pebble]

at least i know where it is now, cause ive been looking for one to try and find what i need for the stone portals

i was looking for a swamp before this however so i guess i gotta look the other way

[crystal kiln]

stoneportals? those are way in the future

[split pebble]

what tier is the mistlands

are they after the mountains

[crystal kiln]

penultimate, two after mountains

[split pebble]

oh is plains after mountains

[crystal kiln]

aye

[split pebble]

how many pet wolves can i have btw since im one tier before the mountains now

i wonder if a pet wolf will attack hostile wolves

[crystal kiln]

how many can you keep on your screen until your game crashes?

[split pebble]

nice so i can probably get some decent protection next tier

[crystal kiln]

the trench wolves will be your friends for quite a while

[split pebble]

those wolves are just absolutely insane by their speed alone

what tier is the lox

[crystal kiln]

plains

[split pebble]

damn

i really need a land mount

[crystal kiln]

eh, you will get ship upgrades which make travel by water your best option when hauling materials

[civic nymph]

im tryna mine silver right now and there's two invincible wolves who keep coming up to me, they dont attack me but they keep getting in the way. is there anything i can do to get rid of them? lol

[opal quest]

Hi!
I'm having a problem with the resolution, all the textures and even the icons are blurry and have half the pixels they should have. I'm playing on my boyfriend's server, and he doesn't have any issues with it. I've tried changing the graphics card settings and the game's settings, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Can you suggest any possible solutions?

[stone epoch]

No, they will not

[balmy notch]

what's the name of the mod that allows you to get a 4th food slot?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[azure bison]

If you use commands on another world to spawn items, and if you join another world with those spawned-in items, will it still disable achievements? I don't want to have to make a new character, and I'm wondering if it doesn't affect me or if I just need to drop them or something.

[steep tusk]

How can it when achievements don't exist?

[azure bison]

In game ones for the world

Not steam

[steep tusk]

You're gonna need to clarify because there is nothing in the game marked as "achievements" afaik.

[azure bison]

Sure give me a moment

I meant trophies sorry

[steep tusk]

How would spawning a weapon or materials stop enemies from dropping their trophies?

[azure bison]

Well I thought it was a in game thing like it wouldn't track them in the trophies tab it was just a question

I know nothing about this game

[steep tusk]

Nothing stops anything from tracking anything 🤷‍♂️

[azure bison]

Thank you

[true steeple]

Stars don't increase tool tier. Also, no enemy attacks or AoEs have tool tier 5.

[frosty frost]

5 Is siege machines only, right?

[true steeple]

yes, siege only

[steep tusk]

Use the battering ram to go mine copper 😉

[civic nymph]

where do i find the location tablet for moder? i've been to several mountains and haven't found one

[true steeple]

use it to instantly kill stone golems

[steep tusk]

It's either in caves or in the broken stone towers.

[civic nymph]

okay thanks. i've only found one of those ruined castles so far. ill keep looking then

[stone epoch]

And Fader?

[true steeple]

Tool tier 3 or 0 depending on the attack

Lower than a summoned root

[stone epoch]

But Fader can damage fortress walls

[true steeple]

I must have missed something, which attack?

Are you sure it’s the walls being damaged, not the spikes?

[stone epoch]

I don't know but I am pretty sure he can level a fortress

[steep tusk]

🤔

Fader can

Followed by "don't know" and "pretty sure" 🤔

[stone epoch]

Yes, that's generally how questions arise

[frosty frost]

@true steeple Can confirm this, i once destroyed substantial part of the fortress wall by spawning Fader there.

[stone epoch]

I've also seen claims of being able to remove the center tower with a black metal pickaxe, which does pickaxe 3

Have not tested it, but is center tower weaker than the outer walls?

[frosty frost]

Should be the same i think

[stone epoch]

The question arose from whether a two star morgen could damage a fortress wall or not

I think not

But the math ain't necessarily mathing

[true steeple]

I’ve spawned a high-level fader and increased enemy damage with world keys. Damage numbers with over one million damage per hit are spawning on the walls but a lot of it isn’t breaking.

[frosty frost]

Let him hit many times, taht eventually destroyed the walls for me iirc

[true steeple]

It's not breaking with damage like this how long did you wait?

I am seeing a lot of too hard messages but not on all attacks

[frosty frost]

No idea, but the ammount of dmg sometimes seems it doesent matter, for example the cheat sledge sometimes cant destroy big boulders on one or two or even three hits.

[true steeple]

I’ve set the timescale to 5 and waited a while, still nothing

You got him to destroy the whole wall or only the top like me?

[frosty frost]

Blocks more than halfway down the wall were destroyed i believe

Btw, i dont remember now but does spawning him just pop him into existence of does it summon meteor?

[true steeple]

Spawning him with commands won’t make the meteor

[frosty frost]

Will go try to recreate it, and maybe even find the world i got him to destroy the fortress on

[true steeple]

that aoe is tool tier 0 anyway

[civic nymph]

is frostner the best silver-tier weapon?

[frosty frost]

There is not really a "best" weapon for any tier 🙂 depends for which situation

[stoic trench]

It’s a really great weapon, but it just depends really.

Like Asatru said 👆

In my opinion, I find it to be the best silver weapon.

[civic nymph]

hmm okay cause there's so many cool ones idk which ones to make without using up all of my silver

[stoic trench]

What’s your highest relevant skill?

[civic nymph]

club, which is why i was thinking of getting frostner

ive used them for basically my entire playthrough so far

[stoic trench]

Ah, yeah Frostner is a great choice then. Though you can experiment with other weapons pretty frivolously. Though fair warning, Frostner won’t be a top performer against the boss of the biome 👀

[civic nymph]

yea i already have some arrows lined up for moder 😛

[frosty frost]

Aftermath of spawning 6 Faders and letting them spam attacks for around 20-30 seconds 🤔

Normal Faders

Seems the spin attack does the job

The meteors too

Just walking can destroy the fortress stairs

Sweep attack seems to be able to destroy walls too

1 - Just Fader walking around
2 - Claw sweep attack
3 - Spin + meteors

[true steeple]

Those would be the parts that don’t need tool tier 5

[frosty frost]

Even the lower corner ones? 👀

[true steeple]

I don’t know which parts need what tier that’s just what I’m guessing from this test.

None of the attacks have tool tier 5 when I look in their data

[frosty frost]

Might give it a try and see what can be destroyed

[manic gyro]

when you hit it with the blackmetal pickaxe, damage numbers appear and not "too hard", but I've never tried long enough to actually destroy a part of the wall

[clever juniper]

I have accidentally destroyed the stairs and parts of the walls on fortresses by calling down too many trolls in the same place

[civic nymph]

can you drink multiple meads at once? like healing and stamina for example

[clever juniper]

yes as long as they are different types

[civic nymph]

cool thanks

[split pebble]

am i supposed to take a boat through the swamps

i eventually found one on foot but theres not too much dry land

[civic nymph]

i usually leave my boat near a black forest and then go through the swamp on foot. it always rains there so you're gonna be wet anyway

[split pebble]

no i mean like i cant sprint anywhere its that bad

[civic nymph]

do you go in with good foods and the rested buff?

[split pebble]

i did but theres just barely any visible land

its like mostly bodies of water

and now its storming so any visible land is now gone under the water

[civic nymph]

might just be easier to find a different swamp then. they arent super difficult to come by

my swamps were usually like 50/50 land to water

[split pebble]

ill try to make a raft and see if theres anything further beyond what i can see right now

[crystal kiln]

better to find a large swamp anyway, easier to find certain stuff

[molten mirage]

Craft a hoe and make your own path.
Every swamp u meet will have similar condition.

[molten mirage]

No unless there's a river flowing through it.

[molten mirage]

What are the types there are for meads?

[steep tusk]

Lingering stamina/health blocks the use of normal stamina/health pots, respectively.

[clever juniper]

it is just the health, stamina, and eitr potions that have multiple varieties of the same type. So if you take a major healing, you can take a minor healing until the major's timer ran out

[steep tusk]

That too ☝️

[molten mirage]

Ooh so minor, medium and major can be consumed at the same time?

[clever juniper]

no, they are the only ones that can't

all the bog witch potions can be active all at the same time for instance

[molten mirage]

Oooh ok.
I've been playing valheim without pots (except ratatosk) so it's kinda foreign system to me.

[remote tangle]

is it normal for biomes to spawn like this? most of ours haven't but sometimes it's just a straight line
just curious

[zealous grove]

Question i haven't played in over a year and a half on my world before mist and ash would have to restart the seed to get those?

[steep tusk]

Computers, try as we might, tend to make straight lines sometimes 😭

[steep tusk]

Have to? No.
Recommended? Yes.

[zealous grove]

Ok

[remote tangle]

new biomes will only generate in areas you haven't gone into yet but yea what sevrahn said

[zealous grove]

Also we're i to

Still restart

@steep tusk

[steep tusk]

Your choices are yours to make 🤷‍♂️

[zealous grove]

Recommend

[remote tangle]

you could still use the same character in a new world

[zealous grove]

Ok

[steep tusk]

I restart both world and character with a complete wipe every major update.
So that's what my recommendation will always be.

[civic nymph]

is it normal for my moder arena to spawn past mistlands?

[zealous grove]

If I were to spawn a maypole would it give the buff

[steep tusk]

Spawn or just use freebuild mode to directly place where you want and snap to things?

[tired root]

Maypole always grants +1 comfort like most furnitures.

[stone epoch]

Since you've already got a good test set up, can you see if a 2* morgen can damage the walls?

[olive ocean]

can i get some insight on how boats work

[stone epoch]

they float

[olive ocean]

i had made a longship and when i was on it it would take 10 dmg about every 1.5 sec, with nothing doing dmg to it, but when i got off it the dmg would stop

[stone epoch]

you have latency issues

or FPS issues

[olive ocean]

i do not

it also happened to a basic raft

no weather, no enemies, just dmg going to right under the mast for some reason

[civic nymph]

can i swap all of my furnaces for blast furnaces? or do i need both

[steep tusk]

They smelt different things, so you will need both.
Regular smelter is tin, copper, iron, and silver.
Blast furnace is everything beyond that.

[civic nymph]

okay cool just making sure

[steep tusk]

Valid question, no worries!

[civic nymph]

didnt think iron would be so useful still this late

[steep tusk]

You will never stop needing iron.

[civic nymph]

i hate the swamp 😭

[steep tusk]

Just aesthetically or?

[civic nymph]

the iron grind in general is tedious for me idk

i guess its fine now that draugrs pose little threat now

[steep tusk]

Average crypt should be netting you like 50+, which is far simpler a grind than other metals.

[civic nymph]

that's true, its way faster

[soft notch]

I still wish it was an upgrade to the original

[stone epoch]

Surprise, you do. Boats do not take damage over time normally. It's a connection or game performance issue

[olive ocean]

probably from the game running for 150 hrs even tho ive logged out

[distant crescent]

whats the idea with bases in this game? do u want 1 big base or like a bunch of smaller bases in different areas?

cause the black forest is up there.. and my base is a bit far :/

and then once i finished the black forest progression do i need to then mke ANOTHER base??

[worn barn]

That varies from player to player - I've got one big base that I've expanded significantly since I've started, it's quite nice and beautiful I think. I think most folks keep one home "main" base, then, as they see fit, establish other smaller bases further out - it really depends on how many resources you want to gather for such things.

[distant crescent]

yea i want a main base but ig the placement would require a lot more consideration than i have been

[worn barn]

You're going to want it relatively close to the sea, if not right on the coast. Other than that the location doesn't really matter, I did deliberately choose a rather large, flat, open space when I finally picked a permanent site (oh yeah, I went through a few small bases before I picked my final place) - I'm glad I did as I've needed the space, but, I like to build with a very open architecture in mind.

[distant crescent]

is the ocean that important?

i am kinda broke on arrows i need feathers

[vagrant bobcat]

for sailing to other islands

to different parts of world

but in the end it doesnt matter as you can connect everything with portals... so u can do whatever u want.. but in the future u will need bases in some biomes

[distant crescent]

yea ive heard about portals - hwen do u get them?? is it more ofd just a post game ease of access thing or are they actually avaliable?

[vagrant bobcat]

i have one big base (fortified town with castle) in meadows, one medium base in plains and then many smaller bases in other biomes or places

[vagrant bobcat]

very soon for you

[distant crescent]

ah alr

i was thinking of just stealing all the stuff from my house and just moving it to the black forest one

[vagrant bobcat]

depends on u.. whenever u like it

i like to have it near water for boat access

[distant crescent]

yea ill prolly relocate my base somewhere closer to the sea and black forrest. all i need to take from my base is just the crafting uprades and bees

[soft notch]

The materials needed are in the Black Forest

[worn barn]

That's the trade off - leave it where it and just harvest more, or break it all down and haul it somewhere else.

[vagrant bobcat]

just be careful.. some dangerous things can come out of black forest at your base 👀

[distant crescent]

yea i had a 'the foprest is moving' recently

all the hrs of elden ring paid off

[soft notch]

Just wait until you get "The Ground is Shaking" 😉

[worn barn]

That's just a tickly little bit of foreshadowing 😂

[vagrant bobcat]

well those are raids.. gets harder with every boss you defeat... but i meant something else

[distant crescent]

i did get jumped by a bear which marterialed out of a copper deposit 😭

[soft notch]

Sure, but he's a big softy fuzzy

[worn barn]

Defense is easier in the meadows, that's for sure.

[vagrant bobcat]

i meant.. something bigger

[distant crescent]

ig il just have to wait and see 🥀

[vagrant bobcat]

yupp

[distant crescent]

what do the bears drop im rlly tempted to just fight one for like 10 minutes just to kill it

[vagrant bobcat]

meat, skin.. claws

u can make some armor set and claw weapons out of it, but never tried it.. bears were just recently added

[distant crescent]

ah alr

[distant crescent]

on closer inspection house 2 doesnt seem like a bad spot

maybe where the fireplace pin is?

how are there 2 bears on me

oml the bear is on 2 hp

if he despawns on death

oml did it

bro no way

I FOUND IT

BRO A SHAMAN SPAWNED ITS HEALING THE BEAR DAFHJFADHLJKF

im losing it bro 😭

[molten mirage]

Meat, pelt, paw and head (trophy)
Meat gives 6040 hp, better than cooked deer meat.
Paw, pelt and trophy can be used to make armor, knuckles, trinket, and decoration.

[steady viper]

bear meat gives 40 health, not 60

[molten mirage]

I mustve misremembered. Ty for correction.

[distant crescent]

well ive lsot the bear and my sanity

is there any way to just give me the materials he literally had a sliver of health before the shamans came

[molten mirage]

U just need to try again and be better prepared.

[distant crescent]

fine

[molten mirage]

Use a flint knife and try to circle the bear while attacking.

Stop attack and focus on circling when the bear almost facing u directly.

[distant crescent]

i mean i had no problem i just got unlucky at the end with other enemies spawning in

[molten mirage]

Bear is one of the easiest mid-tier mob to fight while being undergeared.

[distant crescent]

it just takes a billion years

[molten mirage]

Be patient. Shouldn't take one in game day. 😂

[distant crescent]

wood club 🥀

[molten mirage]

Well.. U prolly need to gear up more instead of fighting a bear if your weap is still a wooden club.

[distant crescent]

yea well i thought it would be funny ig the jokes on me

[molten mirage]

Not impossible, but takes a very long time.

[distant crescent]

well i refound it at 50% hp and its finally dead

[frosty frost]

Will do once i get home

[tired root]

I think stars should not alter the pickaxe tier mobs have.

But better test to have closure for that.

[distant crescent]

i just luired a 2* boar all the way to my base and then it just ran off and i cant catch up to it bruh

[tired root]

They tend to return to the location they were spawned in if they lose aggro.

One way to not get them lose aggro is to have them hit you few times while running to the desired location.

[distant crescent]

a billion miles away 🥀

[tired root]

Harpoon can also help.

[distant crescent]

idk if it was just a coincidence but it was right as we got to the base, ik theyre scared of fire, but what it just timing and not related?

[tired root]

It takes some time to enemy mobs lose aggro if they can't hit you during that time.

[distant crescent]

yea i was purposely not letting them hit me as a game :/

[tired root]

Yeah, letting them hit you few times to not lose aggro is one way.

[distant crescent]

how does the mob spawning work in this game? cause i went to sleep thinking a bear would despawn but i still foundit the next day

[tired root]

New mobs can spawn after some time if they can, all mobs have limit how many can spawn in the player zone.

They remain as long as they don't get killed, except some night spawns despawn after dawn rises.

I think that is the simplest way to explain.

[spare ravine]

the trick with bears is to kill them

[undone monolith]

Hi. I want to ask for some insight on what to bring to the Ashlands for the first time.
Me and my partner just defeated The Queen 🎉 for the first time and are ready to go to the Ashlands (the only biome that I have never been to in any playthrough).
What do you suggest us to take on the boat, besides the metals to build shield generator and materials to build portals?
And also, how many shield generators should we aim to build there? ^^

[meager vale]

First time = die alot

[true steeple]

Bring materials for a stonecutter, and enough finewood for multiple portals. If a wooden build piece is destroyed by fire in the ashlands, it won't drop wood.

[undone monolith]

That's very useful to know. Thanks a lot for the advice 🙏

[worn barn]

I also pack fire mead. Doesn't hurt to keep it active. There's things.

[true steeple]

it's especially useful if you're using feather cape or root harnesk to override the weakness

[undone monolith]

got it 🫡 Thanks ^^

[still oxide]

does digging up the ground causes fps drop for servers?

[tired root]

One shield generator should be enough for establishing one safe spot for portals etc. One way to make relatively safe area is to raise high enough earth walls with a hoe around the shield generator radius so only possibly flying mobs may enter if they get aggroed.

[drowsy crane]

For small digs not really

[scarlet sapphire]

what is the proper way to use "goto" command?

[tired root]

goto x y

[scarlet sapphire]

so no ,

HA! im such a noob

thanks @tired root

[worn barn]

To your credit, the error syntax DOES show a , - though, you didn't include []s either so... 😉

[glass ruin]

Uhm is there a way to set limit on the number of portals an individual can place within the world?

[steep tusk]

Trust the people who you allow in your world is the tried and true method.

I do not believe there is a non-trust method though.

[glass ruin]

Trust is not the concern, I just mean in general is there a mod or a way to hardwrite into the valheim config or code. Just curious.

[steep tusk]

There is not.
Which is why the trust is the issue.
You should be able to tell someone a number of allowed portals and trust they won't build more than said number. 🤷‍♂️

[rose karma]

Hi, me and my friend are playing on a world that he is hosting. We used to play with mods over the r2modman launcher but everytime i try to connect to his world it says: Incompatible version. The version of steam is updated by both of us and its the same, vanilla is also working fine. Does someone have an idea what this couldve caused.

[tired root]

You could ask from folks in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[radiant obsidian]

The version of Valheim is probably not exactly the same, you can check that on Steam.

[rose karma]

okay ill do

[rose karma]

yeah i looked it up but it is the same thats why we are concerned

[vast gorge]

can anyone provide a link or something to a video of someone explaining how to change server settings for a Nitrado server. I'm not sure why its so difficult

[frosty frost]

Folks in #dedicated-server might have some experience or might know where to look for the video 😄

[wispy kite]

Why does it show that when I try and play with my friend? I re-installed and it's still the same.

[molten mirage]

He might be using mods that u dont have.

[wispy kite]

We tried Vulkan and no Vulkan, can you run mods without Vulkan?

But I'm yet to check that part in particular.

[molten mirage]

U dont have to use vulkan to use mods afaik.

[wispy kite]

What is Vulkan even good for? Curious.

[molten mirage]

The game is supposed to run lighter for hardwares that supports vulkan.

[wispy kite]

Appreciated, will let you know if your thought is the answer.

[molten mirage]

Try asking him to connect to YOUR world.
If he can, then he's definitely using mods.

[wispy kite]

Failed to connect.

Apparently it's something from my side because my friend was playing with someone else the other week.

[molten mirage]

Hmm.. Check your firewall just in case.

[last sparrow]

does the ashlands provide a new wood axe and pickaxe? or am i stuck with black metal?

[true steeple]

berserkir axes can cut trees, but there's no new pickaxe

[last sparrow]

darn, thx homie

[molten mirage]

set valheim to whitelist

[civic nymph]

will growths keep spawning in tar? or it it like a one and done type thing

[molten mirage]

2 respawn every hour, even when the pit is drained

[civic nymph]

good to know, thx

[remote tangle]

how often approximately are major updates?

someone had mentioned that they start a new world with every major update, and I know it's not required, but depending on how frequent that is it kinda sounds fun tbh

did a search and it sounds like we don't have a release date yet for deep north

[solemn osprey]

Yeah deep north will be sometime in 2026. In general its been about 6-7 months at least between biome updates. More than enough time to finish a run and want to start over IMO.

[shut dove]

what happened to him

[drowsy crane]

The face randomizes nothing to worry about

[shut dove]

ok

[distant crescent]

how good are the bear claw weapons?

[drowsy crane]

Amazing in my opinion, plenty of options for different playstyles.

[subtle parrot]

I enjoy using them

[south cargo]

Any tips for the Mistlands Biome before it makes me Uninstall the game 😂

[subtle parrot]

Did you make the wisp light?

[south cargo]

Yep I have the Wisp Light, Seekers and Flying Death Blimp just seem to be CONSTANT

[glad current]

Flying Death Blimp 🤣

[steep tusk]

Pro tip: Don't die.

[subtle parrot]

Shoot the flying death blimp in the belly before it notices you, you can hear them when they're nearby so sneak around until you find it and aim for the belly cause it's weak there. Seekers are annoying but easy to deal with usually unless you get swarmed.

[south cargo]

I had a FDB raining Ticks down on me, So I ran them to my little Dwarf buddies who apparently don’t like you touching their things, So I had a 2 star Death Dwarf Mage and a 1 Star Rogue along with his army of Cronies trying to end me, Trying to evade those as well as the Blimp of Death and ran into a 2 star Seeker Solider and Seeker

[subtle parrot]

Frost is helpful if you have frostner or make frost arrows

[drowsy crane]

Ratatosk Mead should give you every option you need to hightail it out of bad scenarios, approach fights that are new to you with caution, each biome has growing pains, Mistlands has the most growing pains without a doubt.

[subtle parrot]

Just be careful when running away else you may fall to your death

[south cargo]

Yeah I think I’ve died so many times I have to go back to playing in the meadows to get my levels back up haha

I will be Crafting some Frost Arrows though! Thank you

[soft notch]

What foods are you running?

I had terrible time when I first hit Mistlands until I switched from SSH to HHS.
S= Stamina
H= Health

[steep tusk]

HHS is always recommended when entering a new biome.
Where you can switch to HSS once you're using in-biome foods.

Mistlands being the first where you have the option to go SEE (or EEF) instead of HSS 😄

[south cargo]

Meat Platter, Flox Meat Pie and Misthare Supreme

[steep tusk]

HHH is never recommended 😬

[south cargo]

Yeah might swap one out for a Blood Pudding

[steep tusk]

Do you not have eggs?

[south cargo]

We got a couple of eggs from the Sealed Tower but havent set up a farm yet

[steep tusk]

Ah.

[south cargo]

Haven’t tamed a single animal yet 😂

[steep tusk]

Chicken farms give you access to very simple H and S foods from build Honey Chicken and Omelettes.

[south cargo]

Day 230 - Zero animals tamed haha might have to fix that

[soft notch]

If it makes you feel better, chicken's don't require "taming"

[glad current]

I want to go tame some asksvin but I'm a coward 😅

[scarlet sapphire]

anyone know how far work bench has to be away from a sultling spawner so it does not pause it?

[glad current]

20 meters, plus 4 extra meters per upgrade

[scarlet sapphire]

thanks

i might be high enough then

[drowsy crane]

Workbench radius is a width thing I believe, the cylinder goes straight up

[scarlet sapphire]

o.O'

[drowsy crane]

It used to be spherical, now it's a cylinder that reaches quite high.

[scarlet sapphire]

thats good info to know. thank you

[floral river]

what are the 5 stones in a star shape for?

[steep tusk]

Stone.
That's literally their only purpose.

[floral river]

the five giant stone that are in a circle?

[scarlet sapphire]

at the start?

[floral river]

no not at spawn

[steep tusk]

I read what you said the first time. And answered.

[floral river]

didn't know if it was a burial or something

[steep tusk]

It's just 5 stones.
There is no deeper meaning.

[molten mirage]

Make feather cape asap
Bring barley wine just incase u meet a gjall
Use either lightfeet or ratatosk potion to help u move through terrain
Always setup a backup portal nearby before u explore the mist
Make sure you're well fed

Nice thing to have:
a spare wisp and fenris armor at home

[glad current]

At one point in the Ancient Past™ it was planned on only allowing portals to be constructed within those stone circles. The plans changed, but the structures remained.

[zealous grove]

Which is better to make fenris armor or wolf or both

[spare ravine]

fenris armor is fun solely because you can run fast in it. Also theres a special interaction with a weapon that can be good for this level, and a bit afterward. However, you are extra squishy and the armor is hell to craft and upgrade. The wolf armor is much simpler to play and make.

[zealous grove]

So fenris for home build and wolf for world explore got it

[spare ravine]

I mean you can explore with fenris too. Im not kidding when I say you can go fast with it.

[upper dove]

New player here. I just got to the first boss. I died and then after I respawned I went to get my things and the boss chased me back to my house, destroyed my house, and killed me. Now, I respawn right next to the boss and can't run away before dying. Is this normal?

[south cargo]

Welcome to Valheim

[upper dove]

Good to know. Uninstalling and grabbing my refund. Thank you for the heads up!

[south cargo]

Its a great game, But it can be rough at times

[soft notch]

No? Typically, you don't lead it back to the house

You should be able to load an earlier backup, to avoid that sticky situation.

[marble roost]

more like: Wolf for being a tanky slow boi, Fenris for being a fast but vulnerable assasin

[bronze remnant]

Just got some questions about mods as ive never used them in valheim before.

[marble roost]

Then you should hop in #mods-discussion chat. People in here generally aren't very knowledgeable about mods

[zealous grove]

@marble roost would it better to combine the wolf and fenris armor

[marble roost]

Its a very valid option, again just depends what you're going for.

I definitely recommend using the wolf helmet, and not the fenris helmet. Helmets from any tanky metal gear are pretty good because they give just as much armor as chest or legs, but they don't give a movement penalty.

Personally I'd recommend something like Wolf Helmet, Wolf Chestplate, Fenris Legs. Tanky, but not superrr slow

[south cargo]

You just wont get the set bonus

[marble roost]

Most people don't make much use of Fenris armor set bonus, but that could be a concern yea ^

[tired root]

Fenris to reduce movement speed penalty when using battleaxes.

[distant crescent]

😭 whats the plan do i have to make a base down there??

[tired root]

You can build portal, no need for new base there unless you want.

[distant crescent]

idk what the recepie is but i hope i unlock it soon

[tired root]

Have you gotten surtling cores? Fine wood? Greydwarf eyes probably at least.

[zealous grove]

@south cargo what's the set bonus

[distant crescent]

oh yea

i dont have spare cores tho ill get sm rn

[south cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/sanic-the-hedgehob-running-gotta-go-fast-fast-gif-4964355

[tired root]

Set bonus for Fenris set is +15 to fists skill and fire resistance. Each piece grants +3% movement speed, total 9% when wearing all of them.

[empty pond]

anyone know why my boats just despawn randomly? cuz i leave it alone and go through a portal and come back and all thats there is the storage crates

[civic nymph]

how hard is sealed tower? im about to go to mistlands but idk if the boss is gonna raid me and mess my base up or wtv

[civic nymph]

they're getting destroyed

[empty pond]

but there isnt any material drop from when it does get destroyed

[civic nymph]

ik some of them sink. but idk if all of them do

[empty pond]

alr

[tired root]

If there is no materials then they get probably despawned. All materials do if they're outside of spawnproof area (like workbench) or under at least 2m deep water for full hour.

And depending which boat, 3/4 of Karve's and 2/4 of Longboat's materials sink.

[tired root]

There are lots of fulings and shamans that can be starred more likely, but the tower should be easily cleared with plains tier equipment.
And you don't get raids enabled if you don't return the chest.

[civic nymph]

Ohhh that’s cool info. I don’t really want any of Hildirs stuff anyway so I’ll just steal the chests and keep them in my base

is porcupine a good upgrade from frostner? I really like the frost effect that slows guys down so I didn’t switch yet

[tired root]

I think only worth chest returning is the brass one (from Brenna), as it unlocks the farming set.

[civic nymph]

Only one I’ve done so far, and brenna wasn’t tooooo bad so I guess I’ll do that

[tired root]

Porcy surely is nice weapon. You could carry both it and Frostner with you for different situations if you enjoy using maces overall.

Frostner may be safer for crowd control but it has poor stagger due to its amount of frost damage. Porcupine secondary attack has possibilities to stagger bigger opponents like berserkers easier.

[civic nymph]

True I’ll just take both. Maces are the only weapon I’ve used so far aside from axes

[tired root]

And the pierce damage of Porcy is nice against Lox too.

As Lox resist both pierce and frost damage.

[civic nymph]

Yeah sounds good, thanks

[tired root]

Frostner will be better against the boss tho.

[civic nymph]

dope

[remote tangle]

can i befriend the dvergr or anything?

[tired root]

They remain neutral towards you as long as you don't attack them or their structures.

[undone monolith]

Thanks! 🙏

[distant crescent]

if i want to bu9ild a portal whats the easiest way to make a viable workbench?

ts makes me so sad tho

[true steeple]

What do you mean by viable workbench?

[distant crescent]

like 'this workbench needs a roof'

[true steeple]

Crafting stations don’t need shelter for making build pieces, it’s only for crafting items and repairing them

[distant crescent]

oh alr

[rough harbor]

Hm. My friend dies a lot in Valheim, but when his skill drain countdown is zero, there is almost always an additional 10 min countdown starting. So he has 20 minutes. Is that because he dies two times in a small windows? Didn't know they could stack?

[frosty frost]

That is a bug present since CtA update, and if i remember correctly the second countdown doesent actually prevent skill loss and should be purely visual thing. Tho i didnt test it myself

[rough harbor]

Uhhh

Scary

[frosty frost]

Why is it scary? 👀

[stiff jewel]

what is special table that allows vikings to share their map called again? i hadn't played for year.

[frosty frost]

Cartography table 🙂

[jolly summit]

could someone help? the game says that the bed needs to be placed near fire but i put like 6 torches next to it. is this normal?

[frosty frost]

Put a campfire nearby 🙂

[jolly summit]

the campfire is outside but i could sleep now all of a sudden. i couldnt sleep during rain

[frosty frost]

The rain most likely extinguishes the fire, try putting slanted roof above it so smoke can still escape and the rain no longer smothers it 🙂

[frail cave]

Any tips on what I should bring to the Moder fight?

[jolly summit]

okay thanks alot

[frosty frost]

Fenris or wolf armour, draugr fang bow and obsidian arrows, for weapon pretty much any mountain tier weapon except frostner.

[tired root]

Good armor and weapons, best foods available, best possible arrows, HP and utility meads. 👍

[frail cave]

Ok, thanks!

[stiff jewel]

thanks

[spare ravine]

I think I used poison arrows just because I had a lot of them around.

for moder, I mean

[frosty frost]

Those can work too, and can outperform the obsidian ones in terms of dmg, but you have to wait for the duration of poison to run before firing another 🙂

[spare ravine]

Nah I dont wait. They hit harder than wood arrows already so its good enough for me.

[frosty frost]

Any other arrow does that tho xD

[spare ravine]

Wanna bet?

oh, arrows

[frosty frost]

Yeah, miss-typed

[spare ravine]

Yeam

[frosty frost]

-# Fu*king hell i cant write today XD

[spare ravine]

Besides theres lots of time moder just flies around and I keep missing my shots. Poison then have all the time to do its work.

And then she landed and it was crystal battleaxe time.

[tired root]

Quite the same, I have crippling hoarding addiction so have to collect everything, even the arrows. So poison arrows usually go against Moder for me too.

[frosty frost]

Yep, Moder is time to spend all the acumulated lower tier arrows 😄

[tired root]

-# Even fire?

[frosty frost]

-# If i have those, but iirc you cant get them from chests and i dont make them myself lately

[cosmic cedar]

Why are there seekers at world spawn?

[frosty frost]

Have you beaten Queen?

[cosmic cedar]

Yes

[frosty frost]

That is why 🙂

They can spawn at night in previous biomes after her defeat

[tired root]

One location can have fire arrows: the buried chests inside the boat formation POI.

[spare ravine]

im sure putting a bunch of fire in a wooden chest wont cause any problem in the future

[stiff jewel]

i feel like more deeper lake or ocean is, bigger fish get, is that true?

[drowsy crane]

I have found 2 level 5 fish in very shallow waters, so that hasn't been my experience.

[stiff jewel]

oh alright

[frail cave]

Can someone give me good food 🥺

[frosty frost]

If you start farming you will soon have more than you need 🙂

[frail cave]

I don’t farm

I’m noob

[drowsy crane]

Time to start denoobifying

[frail cave]

Ohhhhh yeeeeea

[thorn spire]

Do you have any metal yet?

finally i found it

[stiff jewel]

what is etirs and what it do?

[thorn spire]

refined eitr is a produced material that powers mistlands-tier weapons and equipment.

[gusty rampart]

Hi. My brother asked me if im able to give him admin rights too on our server so he could take better screenshots too. So i wonder. Can i give him admin rights by pasting his id in this document and restarting the game? Would he then be admin on every server i host?

[thorn spire]

Try asking in #dedicated-server . Pretty knowledgeable folks there.

[gusty rampart]

Kk. Thx

[stiff jewel]

does once fuling village is defeated, it remain empty without any new fuling respawn?

[true steeple]

Fulings can spawn inside because it's the plains biome but you can prevent spawns like anywhere else

[marble roost]

Yes. Fulings do respawn randomly all over the plains, but the village does not spawn any more enemies / types of enemies than the rest of the plains biome

[stiff jewel]

wait, how did you get this name tag like this?

[true steeple]

like what? the colour is for being a server booster if that's what you're asking.

[stiff jewel]

oh. i was asking name color and fonts

[tired root]

Fonts are for Nitro users IIRC.

[stiff jewel]

oh make sense

[true steeple]

yes, it's a recent feature

[stiff jewel]

oh i see

[tired root]

Color indicates roles in server. Purple is for devs, red for moderators, green for helpers and yellow for server boosters.

[marble roost]

Is this structure a relatively recently added thing?

[frosty frost]

Yep, Call to Arms update added that 🙂

[marble roost]

I see it has quite the god tier mace hidden away in a chest

[frosty frost]

Hehe, you will be finding more of that type of weapons 😏

[steep tusk]

Wooden Weapon Only run 😏

[frosty frost]

Now that i would bet is impossible 😄 considering that they do less dmg than just your hands

[steep tusk]

I think you might be able to drop Elder, but Bonemass would out-heal you probably.

[spare vault]

100% best weapon in the game

[stiff jewel]

just wondering, is there only can be one Dyrnwyn per world?

[split smelt]

To my fellow 2H Axe enjoyers, how viable is the Crystal Axe and should i go for it? Me and a friend just mined some Silver. Currently running the Huntsman Bow (I like bows, even if they are not that great at times) and Iron 2H Axe.

Not quite sure what the Spirit Enhancment does

[tired root]

Spirit hurts undead mobs and fenris family members.

It also works bit similarly as fire damage, dealing damage over time for few seconds.

[true steeple]

And bats

I don’t know if there’s anything weak enough to actually give them the spirit effect without killing them instantly

[frosty frost]

Yep, only 1 Dyrnwyn per world

[true steeple]

Does damage over time apply the first tick instantly or after a second?

[tired root]

I think it applies instantly. At least there is always 2 damage numbers for the physical hit and fire damage tick.

[frosty frost]

Hmm, not sure, but i know that if you do enough dmg to kill the mob in one hit the DoT doesent even apply, so probably only after a second?

[true steeple]

Fader fissure could give the bats spirit effect because it’s fire and spirit damage only

[stiff jewel]

what is fastest boat?

[tired root]

Either Longboat or Drakkar, can't remember.

[frosty frost]

Longboat, Drakkar Is slightly slower 🙂

[stiff jewel]

K, Karve is better for small boat exploration because its small size and other reason?

[frosty frost]

Karve is more manuvrable and can fit in narower rivers, i use almost exclusively longship once i unlock it tho

[tacit breach]

Depends on which one ends up giving me the most direct route while sailing. Like a few days ago I found a very rock filled passage between some BF islands. So I grounded my longboat, destroyed it, and continued on with the Karve. Since sailing through those rocks was faster than going around the islands.

[unborn hare]

why wont my boar stop being scared?

we spent 10 minutes hiding behind a rock and it still wouldnt stop being scared

[steep tusk]

Fire nearby?

Like even just a decorative torch fire is enough to freak them out until they are tamed.

[zealous grove]

Is their a setting or command to turn off rain damage

[subtle parrot]

No i don't think so, but you can turn off the weather using the command env clear

[agile rapids]

how do i kill him?

[thorn spire]

aoe attack, like the fire staff or demolisher.

[agile rapids]

i spammed liek 30 ooze bombs cuz i didn't have that lol

[thorn spire]

iron sledge?

ooze works too. slow though

[molten mirage]

Just kite a seeker to them and kill the them when critical

[eager ermine]

How do you pop copper deposit/silver veins all at once?

[steep tusk]

If you completely dig them out so they are touching nothing and floating in the air, they pop.
Far easier to do with silver veins, but it is possible with copper if they are high enough out of the ground to begin with.

[placid roost]

And sometimes even after getting everything disconnected from it, you gotta give it 1 hit on top and then it will break

[steep tusk]

Aye.

Can also bork your PC if it doesn't have the specs to handle all of the rocks and ore spawning at once.

[eager ermine]

Yeah, I see. Bc I was confused since I've accidentally done it was on a copper deposit previously and then tried it again on another but it didn't work lmao
I had to break a piece off just then everything went down

Thanks mate. Cheers

[wheat holly]

How do you guys survived mistlands?
Gjall nearly not killable
dwarf tower with 6 dwarfs - everything explodes and burn down with me in it 😄
Last time i raided a dwarf tower and a gjall attacked from above. It was pure hell raining down on me.
Stamina or HP ?

[zenith ice]

With the dawrfs I honestly just don't aggro them until I line up an attack to one shot one of the mages.

Gjall has a weak spot, below him, shoot him there.

I go for double hp, 1 Stam, I take a lot of barley wine with me for fire resist and bone mass if I'm being over run by seekers or rogues

Hello guys, I rented a Nitrado server. How can I set the resources to x2 there? Thanks in advance 🙂

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might know. 👍

[stark obsidian]

Is there a way to spawn in debug items such as fallen trees and tree stumps?

[eager ermine]

Equipment vs Elder recos?

[agile dirge]

Finewoodbow + Fire Arrows, Bronze Sword or Axe when you insist in going in Meele, Armor wise 2x Bear with Bronze Helmet (any Full Set of the Black forest ist fine tbh. ) Also Foodwise Carrot stew, Minced Meat and the Deerstew?

[steep tusk]

Arrows will make him take longer, so just pick your favorite melee and go to town.

[frosty frost]

Yep, search through IDs on Wiki and you will find them eventually 🙂

[lapis terrace]

yes of course it exists

tho when you spawn them in, they don't places as good as you might want them to

[split smelt]

Can somone convince me to craft a Crystal Battleaxe over a Frostner. All i am reading is that the Frostner is far superior in the long run...

[tired root]

Watch this: #memes-and-clips message

[steep tusk]

Propaganda by Frostner lovers.

[split smelt]

Yeah i saw the clip, while impressive, i assume this is with max skills?

[split smelt]

What's your counter Propaganda?

[tired root]

Not max skills, moderate skill levels.

[steep tusk]

My weapon shouldn't make it harder for me to kill things.
Frostner is horrible against most all enemies in the game.

[split smelt]

Hmmmmm

[steep tusk]

Only thing it is genuinely good against are things that resist the knockback, like Seeker Soldiers.

[agile dirge]

Performs also quite well in the beginning Stages in Ashlands (with higher Damage then Skullsplittur when you include Spirit Damage)

[tired root]

IIRC Frostner is one of the BiS against viles too as they don't resist frost.

[steep tusk]

Mistwalker is just Frostner 2.0 in that context. And Silver Sword does more damage than both iirc.

[split smelt]

I am using the Huntsman and Iron Battle Axe currently and the movement penalty has gotten me killed a few times now. It just feels a bit underwhelming at times for how much you have to change the playstyle. That's why i want to figure out if 2H Axes are even worth running

[steep tusk]

I would absolutely stan Frostner if it was a two-hander.
But as a one-hander, I hate it.

[split smelt]

It also doesn't help that we are probably just gonna play the game through now and never touch it again lol

[steep tusk]

If battleaxes had 0.1s taken off the windup on the first swing they would be the sole weapon I used.
But right now I find them just barely unusable.

[tired root]

Ratatosk tonic and having Fenris armor pieces help with the movement speed penalty.

But honestly, also R key helps.

[crisp marsh]

Does DMG increase on let's say the 10% bonus to slash on shackle trinket overwrite the negative DMG bonus you do on Hard and Very Hard? Like how a fire resistance completely overwrites root armors weakness.

[thorn spire]

I don't think damage bonuses work the same as resistances.

[kindred harbor]

Use VNEI

[ancient kelp]

hello dies anyone speak German? My English is very good i need Help

[full adder]

is there a way to turn off mob-griefing like there is in minecraft? im tired of enemies destroying anything i build. even if im not near the structure they go out of their way to destroy something like it's their sole purpose in life

[true steeple]

They are both applied

[marble roost]

Going in world settings and selecting passive mode (or "pasisve mobs" or something like that) stops mobs from attacking unless you attack them

...I think. Never tried it

[true steeple]

Damage bonuses listed as percentages instead of named modifiers are always multiplicative

[full adder]

i still want them to attack me just not deal damage to my builds. guess there isn’t an option for that, thanks for the tip
anyway i appreciate it

[marble roost]

In that case best option is probably just spawnproofing the area or downloading a mod

[full adder]

spawnproof?

[marble roost]

Many items prevent mobs from spawning in the area. For example the workbench and forge prevent enemies from spawning in the white circle around them

Other things like campfires, torches, etc. do the same, they just don't show the circle

Most people spam some campfires around their base if they don't want anything attacking them

[thorn spire]

depending on what area you're in, you can just dig a moat or raise earth walls around your structures to prevent damage to them.

[thorn spire]

Most creatures can't damage terrain. Raise earth walls around your base to prevent damage from them.

[steep tusk]

Was going to say: spawnproof + disable raids will make your base safe but still allow you to deal with enemies when you leave it.

[thorn spire]

very good point.

[soft notch]

If you play through now and never touch it again, you’ll miss out on the actual end of the game

[split smelt]

I mean, not touch it ever again, but we wouldn't be playing for a looooong while

We started out the game a few times and never finished it, that's why we just kinda set on getting it done for once

[cobalt ember]

Best to do so to avoid burnout, especially since the deep north is the final big content update and it's a mystery as to when it's gonna come out

For me personally once it does come out, I'll go all out on one last playthrough and then shelf the game forever or until it gets something that's actually worth playing for again

[split smelt]

There is no burn out, the last time we started playing was nearly 3 yrs ago

[barren rivet]

idk maybe battleaxe is a no then if this is your last run and first run in 3 years, there’s an amount of reading enemy movement and positioning involved that would come with being a somewhat experienced viking

[split smelt]

Also am i completly out of mind or do normal wood arrows do more damage than bronzehead ones? Usually i can get up to 120dmg on certain enemys with wood and barely 40 with Bronze

[tired root]

Which enemies? Bronze should deal more damage.

[true steeple]

Bronze will deal more base damage. Bow skill, the charge of the shot, damage variance, damage bonuses and enemy damage modifiers all need to be considered

[split smelt]

Mostly on Greydwarfs is where i noticed it the most

I can always 1 hit kill a Dwarf with Wood Arrows and Huntsman bow, while i can't seem to do it with Bronze and above. I really might be on some stuff

[true steeple]

Are you getting a backstab, hitting the enemy before ❗ appears?

[split smelt]

Most of the time, yeah

Does it have a stealth buff or something?

[true steeple]

Wood arrows don’t, but arrows shot by the huntsman bow will alert enemies in a smaller radius
All bows have the same backstab damage multiplier

[marble roost]

Yeah you've probably just been hitting wooden arrows against unaware enemies and bronze against aware ones. Which makes the wood ones do 3x as much damage as usual

If you hit an unaware enemy with bronze it should do more damage than wood

[stiff jewel]

just wondering, does planting more tree affect map at all?

[true steeple]

The trees on the map are based on what world gen marks as a forest area, not where trees actually are. The map is drawn from worldgen functions instead of reading what’s actually in the world.

[stiff jewel]

Alright.

[crisp marsh]

So on very hard which is -30%, proggin a +10% makes it -20% total? That formula?

[true steeple]

I can’t confirm right now but it should be 0.7 x 1.1 = 0.77

[stiff jewel]

just letting y'all know, i'm preparing to travel

[crisp marsh]

Oh okay, appreciate it!

[hazy skiff]

just got raided for the first time so im making a wall is this a good entryway?

I know it's not pretty but idk how else to do it

[drowsy crane]

Just turn raids off if you don't want to defend the walls 👍

[hazy skiff]

why? it's part of the game

[drowsy crane]

Yeah it is, but the terrain walls will break that part of the game

Might as well just turn them off imo

[hazy skiff]

🤷

ramparts exist

[drowsy crane]

I didn't say anything to do with how realistic it is, the enemies just don't have any counterplays for terrain walls.

[hazy skiff]

sounds like a skill issue

[drowsy crane]

Definitely, because defending wall objects isn't difficult.

[marble roost]

looks nice

[steep tusk]

🎶 O'RE THE RAMPARTS WE WATCHEEEEEEEEDD
WERE SO GALAntly streaming.
AND THE ROCKETS RED GLAARRRRREEEE 🎶

🇺🇸
(SorryNotSorry 😛 )

[marble roost]

There's still an entrance for the mobs to break down and get in tho

[drowsy crane]

Yeah which is what makes the least sense imo

Ugly terrain walls for zero purpose is baffling

[unborn swan]

Hey, we just arrived at the mistlands and got all the new tables and station etc. Now we see that some wands neeed "x" amount of eitr to work. After a while of not finding better food, we looked through the wiki food page and saw that basically the highest possible eitr food is the starter with 25 before defeating the queen or going to ashlands. Is this true? Is the only playable mage weapon in Mistlands the frost wand or are we missing some food or tricks?

[spare ravine]

The trick with raids is to run outside of your base and kill them all

[steep tusk]

Food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat

First 3 you can make are 75-85 eitr. So idk what you were reading.

[marble roost]

You can pick up some veggies in mistlands like magecaps (a type of blue mushroom) that give very little eitr (probably something like 25)

But once you get the mistlands cauldron upgrade you can use the mistlands veggies and meats to make food giving upwards of 70 eitr each

Similar to how you can find onions in the mountains and eat them for stamina, but they don't give that much unless you use them in a recipe to turn them into onion soup

[steep tusk]

Mushrooms are vegetables now?? 👀

[glad current]

Culinarily yes but not botanically.

[marble roost]

nah I'm oversimplying

Was thinking to just lump it all into one category, though I suppose there aren't really any edible veggies in mistlands? So maybe an odd categorization

[glad current]

Mine wall-algae 🤣 Slurp it right up!

[steep tusk]

The way people's minds get blown when they find out there is no such thing as a vegetable 😁

[spare ravine]

If you wanna go there, a solid chunk of the fruits we eat arent fruits

Strawberries arent berries. Bananas and watermelons are.
Apples are "false fruits", whatever that is.

We all know about the tomato.

[glad current]

Every time I see people suggesting adding tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, etc. to the game, my anthropology brain rages. “Those are New World plants!!”

[steep tusk]

Honestly, seeing how "corn" used to look, I wish we could go back...

[glad current]

How far back are we talking?

Because the “original” corn was barely any bigger than a head of wheat 🌾

[steep tusk]

Rainbow Maze.

[glad current]

Rainbow maize is gorgeous. But it had already been cultivated a few thousand years by indigenous peoples

[rancid spoke]

little annoyed how wood floor doesn’t count as a roof is there any other way to have a flat roof?

[true steeple]

You can use stone floors

you'll need to progress to swamps though

[solemn osprey]

You can also set up roof tiles under floorboards. The floorboards will get damaged but everything under wont

[rancid spoke]

only issue with stone is it’ll take a lot of support to have it as a roof

[sterile linden]

Guys there are any other combination of attacks?

[solemn osprey]

Beyond jumping and starting a secondary mid-air not really.

[rancid spoke]

There’s a little combo you can do with some weapons
attack block attack attack

not really sure if it’s intentional tbh

[sterile linden]

I´ll try this one, thanks

[molten mirage]

https://youtu.be/uivNFTELPu4

Old video but still relevant

[tacit breach]

How many levels is your structure? I use core wood to support stone just fine for 5 level structures. Then a roof.

[thin zephyr]

what do askvins eat??

[thorn spire]

I think they eat both fiddleheads and smoke puffs.

definitely one or the other of those.

[thin zephyr]

ok thanks

[tribal river]

any tips how to "integrate" this oven in ? id like chimney with smoke from it but there is no material that lookss like this and wood is weird

[subtle parrot]

I typically put mine next to the hearth and build around it and just let it vent out of the chimney

[tribal river]

ye it just wont fit in any of my builds xD wish we had walls or something with texture of oven stone or hearth

[subtle parrot]

Idk it never bothered me lol

[tribal river]

well i managed to make hole there but smoke wont come out :d

[subtle parrot]

Smoke needs a full 1x2 open space to vent

[tribal river]

hmm what if i just throw a stone pillar on it ?

[subtle parrot]

I'm not sure, never done it like that

[tacit breach]

I put them outside. Some times I cover them just so I am not effected by the weather.

[jovial ledge]

what the hell just happened? In 1k hours gameplay I've never encountered this. I'm sailing between Ocean and Mistland, and suddenly it starts snowing and it says I'm in Mountains biome.

[tacit breach]

I have over 5,000 hours. I do not recall ever finding a mountain biome in the water. Its always been at least a tiny bit above the water level.

[jovial ledge]

also, I just got attacked by a Bonemaw far from the Ashlands, actually my first time seeing this creatur in game.
did my map get bugged?

[marble roost]

Ashlands kinda wraps around the bottom of the map and gets thinner towards the edges. Ashlands does reach quite a bit up on the map, in the very east and very west. So plausible there's bits of ashlands nearby

[thorn spire]

I'd guess that's probably the case.

just RNG got you.

[scarlet sapphire]

is this still up to date?

something is telling me its not

[drowsy crane]

What's telling you that?

[scarlet sapphire]

one of them silly ravens 🙂

[drowsy crane]

Looks up to date to me

[scarlet sapphire]

good deal, i didnt think i should listen to that bird

[frosty frost]

Whyt did je tell you? 👀

[molten mirage]

Tbh, rather than doing this, u should just clip the oven through the wall.
Put the oven halfway out your house, then clip a stone wall through it.

So u have the chimney outside, not blocked by anything.

Nice aesthetic too.

[empty pond]

does anyone know why my friend cant join the server we`ve been playing on for months? it isnt an update issue or anything but it has an X next to the server when on the menu.

[tired root]

Cause is world gen after Ashlands update, before the update in your location there would have been mountain with right altitude but prior to the update world gen forces that certain area under water level to form ocean gap between the Ashlands and other biomes.

[flat galleon]

How do we make it to the iron age, and is it possbile for the swamp to not spawn on the same island you killed the elder, and if so how do you know which island to go to

[junior condor]

It is possible for the swamp biome to not spawn where the elder spawn location is. Random generation for the win. Just explore with a boat and you will eventually find a good swamp biome. You get Iron by using the Swamp Key, finding Sunken Krypts in the Swamp and using your pickaxe in them to navigate your way in them

[tired root]

You have to go bit further from center to find swamps, but you can tell from the distance by the partially sunken terrain and big dead looking trees that it's swamp.

[flat galleon]

So basically my friends valheim just crashed and hes joined back and hes gear is like gone their is nothing in his inventory.

[tired root]

Died and no tombstone? Reasonable to spawn same items back then.
Or your friend can load backup of the character.

[flat galleon]

Yeah he died and no tombstone and how can he load up a backup of character?

[tired root]

There is "Manage saves" option in character/world menu.

Loading older version of the character will restore the item he lost.

[flat galleon]

k thanks.

[molten mirage]

Restart usually fix connection issues. Either the client or the server.

[edgy arrow]

Is there any way to prevent those types of resources from spawning on the ground?

[misty rivet]

I'm new to Valheim and I'm building a house but i need to put down so many wood poles that my house looks ugly any way to fix that? Since I need the poles like every new roof tile or else it breaks apart

[marble roost]

I wanna say you can probably do it with devcommands (or mods), but otherwise no

[glad current]

If you use the PlantEverything mod, middle-mouse clicking on the plant or stick or flint or whatever you want removed will destroy that particular spawn point.

[marble roost]

You get better materials to build with as you progress, but general advice is to not make each room of the house too big (honestly, don't make the house too big)

And also you can place pillars at the corners/walls, and then do diagonal pillars following the flow of the roof. Instead of having a bajillion vertical pillars

[misty rivet]

i used beams going towards the middle but my its elevated so maybe thats why

[marble roost]

I'd recommend looking up a "basics of building" guide on youtube

[thorn spire]

You can lower terrain just enough to hide them under the stone slab.

[worn barn]

I pick them for chicken-food.

[subtle parrot]

I believe there is a command for that, but I don't know it off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure you can delete resource spawners

[frosty frost]

Should be forcedelete <id of the dandelion>

[tired root]

forcedelete 50 pickable_dandelion if you want it not appear again.

But cautious, since it can delete anything adjacent to the item you're going to delete. It happened to me once and it removed half of my barrel shelf.

[frosty frost]

Yeah, anything that has the pickable_dandelion in its id will get deleted too. If you would but iron then anything with that in its name will get deleted and so on. So be careful and really put the whole thing there 🙂

[spare ravine]

cant you just dig a bit underneath the stone slabs?

[frosty frost]

You can ofcourse, and it has been suggested above i believe 🙂

[spare ravine]

alright

[jovial ledge]

will Queen's Den get re-populated after some time? (except the Queen obviously)

[teal sun]

I created a new world on the old version of the game will the new bear mob spawn there or do i need to generate another world?

[thorn spire]

You mean like tics respawn in the ML dungeons? I don't think so. Although if you summon the Queen again, she'll call more seekers and brood like usual.

[frosty frost]

If you have the newest version bears will spawn 🙂

[teal sun]

Oh alright thanks

[frail rover]

Yo wsp ! How to cook the serpent stew ?

I don't have it in my cauldron

[true steeple]

Have you cooked your serpent meat first?

[frail rover]

yeah

[glad current]

Cauldron is upgraded sufficiently?

[frail rover]

he is level 1

how to upgrade it ?

[drowsy crane]

You will see upgrades for workbenches/forges/etc. in your build hammer menu

[marble roost]

Need to find turnips in the swamp (they look similar to carrots you find in black forest, but yellow instead of white)

Kinda rare and blend into the terrain. Search thoroughly

[frail rover]

i need to craft that so ?

[drowsy crane]

Yes 😄

Get those materials and place it nearby the Cauldron.

[spare ravine]

Its so weird to see games in french. Im french, but I play in english so its hella unusual to me

[livid haven]

with out a mod, there is no ways to rotate this is there? so the V is the other way?

[subtle parrot]

Nope, it would be nice if there were more ash pieces for more design possibilities

[livid haven]

I was able to get it by overlapping 2 pecies ... but now its being silly in another part

[barren yarrow]

how do i decrease adrenaline decay but keep the gain from combat or increase it?

[thorn spire]

faster attacks.

pick weapons with faster attack speeds.

[barren yarrow]

i know, but is there a command?

[thorn spire]

sorry, I can't answer that.

[marble roost]

Best I can say is keep a bow handy so you can keep the adrenaline stable while you’re not right in a mobs face

Sometimes I keep weaker mobs alive to slowly siphon adrenaline

[jovial ledge]

how fast does a non-Drakker ship burn in hot waters of Ashlands?

[thorn spire]

@jovial ledge the damage increases the further you go in.

a longship can get you in close enough to hop on stone spires before it's destroyed. You can then jump from rock to rock to get to shore.

[leaden mesa]

hi

anyone can help me with server issue?

hosting locally on the pc im using

[thorn spire]

There should be some knowledgeable folks in #dedicated-server that can help.

[leaden mesa]

trying to figure out how to set up server mods. i use r2modman

[thorn spire]

oh, mods. Try asking in #mods-issues

[copper shale]

erm, items in a cart that gets destroyed dont disappear right?

[worn barn]

Shouldn't

[copper shale]

hmmm, guess i should be using my map markers more actively

[thorn spire]

yeah. You'll see a small wooden cube labeled cargo when you find it.

[flat galleon]

how do i stop freezing in mountains

[junior ingot]

||frost resist mead, lox cape and/or a trail of campfires(this is kinda tedious but works)||

[flat galleon]

does wolf fur do?

[junior ingot]

yes

[flat galleon]

how do i craft wolf fur stuff

it don't appear on my workbench

[junior ingot]

needs silver

[flat galleon]

oh..

[tired root]

Lox cape requires silver too, but also pelts from Lox which are more dangerous than wolves, especially during that state of progression.

[tacit breach]

And a wolf trophy.

[tacit breach]

You may not have a wolf trophy yet either.

[junior ingot]

whelp i was mostly correct 😛 been away from val for too long

[tacit breach]

You only need the trophy for the initial crafting of that cape. Just like you need drake trophies for the heavy armor helmet.

[zenith ice]

They could be, but honestly?

Using a bow, some arrows and the root harnesk for the random deathsqujtos

You could just Kite the lox for a while, and it's a lot less time than all the extra silver a wolf cape takes

[tired root]

Yeah I know, as I usually skip wolf cape straight to lox cape but for newer players it's more tricky.

[zenith ice]

Hmm maybe, I happened to do it by accident on my first run as the mountains I found were right next to plains

[tacit breach]

I'm actually more irritated by how much wolf hide it takes to get it to lvl 4, than the silver.

[zenith ice]

Hahaha fair, I always have excess of those as I do enjoy taming and farming

[tacit breach]

I rely on being hunted when I do solo.

Which is what I am currently doing.

I gather a lot of silver simply because I craft nearly every silver weapon to lvl 4. So the cape is a minor problem in comparison to things like the silver sword or Frostner, or the Silver Great Axe.

[tired root]

I usually want to save the wolf hides for Fenris armor early on mountain state.

[tacit breach]

I've only found two caves so far, and 7 silver nodes. So as usual, I have yet to bother with Fenris armor.

[tired root]

I make Fenris chest first for frost resistance.

[tacit breach]

I got the wolf trophy off of my first wolf. Which I killed while digging my first silver node. So...

[zenith ice]

While I love the Fenris set I won't lie

I sometimes just keep pushing my luck with the bear set

I have grown addicted to the Stam regen

[tacit breach]

My wife has typically done the Root armor all the way to Ashlands, so ... This time, she is trying out the Vile armor set. Which we will hopefully start playing together again tomorrow.

Bear set does OK into the mountains, especially once you get it to lvl 4.

Which, IIRC, requires Obsidian for the workbench anyways.

[zenith ice]

Oh yeah, I honestly just love that it's a high risk high reward set

You aren't completely defenseless, but your defenses entirely rely on your ability to dodge and parry

[tired root]

Or spin to win.

[zenith ice]

Bahaha that's true

[worn barn]

I like both the normal light armor sets and the specialist sets, they've all got tradeoffs but I can't say as I've actually ever used the Bronze/Iron sets - I don't start using the heavy stuff until the black metal tier, depends, I've worn wolf in to the plains but usually root - or an amalgamation of both.

[flat galleon]

Should i build my main main base like near the center or further out?

[glad current]

Wherever your heart desires

[flat galleon]

but like are their any benfits or liek bad things

[glad current]

It depends on your map. Most people that have a central base try to set up near water, for example.

[tired root]

First temporal base (sometimes even permanent) I usually build on coast and near black forest border for shorter route to the ores and dungeons.

Some like to build base later to plains for harvesting plains crops there too, also aesthetics are nice there.

[flat galleon]

that was the idea, mea and my friend thought the plains looked nice

[tired root]

Mistlands base for harvesting mushrooms.

[steady viper]

more like mistlands outpost

heck, if you find a small islet without fog on the outskirts it's even better for a mushroom farm imo

[worn barn]

Bases, campsites, outposts, small fortress, fortified garden, I've got em scattered all over my world.

But always one main base on big flat chunk of meadows near the water.

[final matrix]

is there a way to minimize the resources valheim consumes when u minimize the window?
because it consumes the same amount of gpu whether minimized or not

[tacit breach]

I doubt it. A program running is a program running, as far as I know.

[frosty frost]

I think there was a setting for something like that, something along the lines of how many fps it has in background iirc

[jovial ledge]

What advice would you give to a player who has 1.2k hours gameplay (mostly on Hard combat setting) who just entered Ashlands yesterday for the first time?

[steep tusk]

None, because all of my advice is for what to bring with you.
But since you already landed -- you got this.

[tacit breach]

I imagine you already set up a portal in a nice secure location. So as long as you have done that...

Just enjoy the screaming.

[jovial ledge]

nope, I'm yet to find a secure location yet. Seems like a tough task. So far I turned god mode on to figure things out because dying happens quite often. Maybe I'll drop difficulty to normal and turn god mode off.

[thorn spire]

Find a ruined grausten structure and put your portal on top. If you brought the materials for a stonecutter, add walls/roof so your portal is secure.

Most mobs don't attack the grausten structures if you're high enough up.

[tacit breach]

Then the creature of destruction comes along and destroys your way up.

[thorn spire]

it's not a perfect solution, but all you have to do is keep the Morgen away.

[tacit breach]

I put mine on one of those spires a little ways off shore.

[thorn spire]

That works too.

[tacit breach]

Just make sure no fliers are near by.

[thorn spire]

if you put grausten around your portal, the birds will mostly leave you alone. Valkyries are mostly inland, so you're safe from them if you're on a coastal ruin.

[tacit breach]

Yeah, its the harpies you typically have to worry about.

[thorn spire]

shouldn't be an issue once you spawn-proof with your workbench.

They don't do much damage to grausten.

[tacit breach]

Heh, I wish. As per usual, even with spawn proofing, they still find their way to my walls, etc...

[jovial ledge]

don't workbenches get eventually destroyed by those burning thingies constantly falling from the sky?

[tacit breach]

Depends on where you put them. You don't get the lava rain every where.

[spare ravine]

In the ashlands?

[spark bone]

im on iron. is there anything but these thatch roofs?

[frosty frost]

Will be eventually 🙂 2 biomes after swamp

Also stone floors count as roof

[spark bone]

what

thats weird. i wonder why wood doesnt

[soft notch]

Pretty sure wood floor does protect the things below it from weather degradation

[frosty frost]

No it does not 🙂

[soft notch]

Sad

[frosty frost]

The wood floor has gaps between boards 😄 stone floor is just block, no gaps

[spark bone]

that makes sense i guess

[cosmic cedar]

If I don't explore the deep north until the update releases, will I still get the new content then, in my pre-deepnorth world?

[arctic robin]

can anyone help me a have a small question its not really in game related

[tired root]

You asked in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202174832729661470 already, don't spam please.

[arctic robin]

sorry, anyway you could help just have a quesiton

ill stick to this channel

[final matrix]

i checked, no such setting

[tired root]

If it's not Valheim related you can ask your question in general channel.

[final matrix]

i wonder if there is a mod that reduces valheim resource consumption when you minimize the window

[arctic robin]

well its about valheim just not in game, im trying to transfer files so i can play on my laptop

[tired root]

Something you could ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 probably. 👍

[arctic robin]

i want to play on my laptop (i normally play on desktop) but i cant figure out a proper way to play with my characters and worlds

when i launch the game on steam on my laptop its like a fresh account nothings there

im also useing r2modman btw i have 2 quality of life mods that i used not sure if that makes it harder

[glad current]

Do you have the cloud storage thingie checked on Steam?

[tired root]

If you want to find the files you can go "username" > AppData > LocalLow > IronGate > Valheim.

[arctic robin]

so on my desktop i can just copy those files and then how do i like "use" them on my laptop

im not very good with technology so im a little slow

cloud wasnt working for me btw

[tired root]

You need to copy both db and fwl files of your world.

Same for character.

IIRC, haven't done that myself but that should work.

[arctic robin]

the mods i have installed on my desktop will i need to do anything special?

or as long as i have the files its all the same

(obviously install the mods on my laptop)

[tired root]

Regarding mods, better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 honestly.

[arctic robin]

ok, before i go would this all work if im playing on a server, i play on a server with a few friends do you know if that would make it to complicated to try and transfer stuff? (its also not my server)

[tired root]

In dedicated server of someone hosting?

[arctic robin]

do you mean like local servers or

[tired root]

Whose world it is?

[arctic robin]

my buddy

he sent me like a code or link or something to join the world when we first started

[tired root]

It's then your buddy's files. He can copy them same way as mentioned above: #valheim-help message

[arctic robin]

so he needs to copy the world and send it to me and i need to copy my character?

[soft notch]

No. If your friend is hosting, you don’t need the world

Just transfer your character file

[arctic robin]

so if i just copy my charcter files and get it installed on my laptop and if i just join the server with the same code or whatever we should all be good?

You will need the mods you are using as well

[tired root]

I suppose that work, and also the mods mentioned (probably, I have never used).

[arctic robin]

in vanilla valheim do server run even when your not on?

[tired root]

No, only when host loads it.

[arctic robin]

becuase im just wondering if hes gonna have to copy the world every time i play on my laptop

he told me that the server always runs (like crops grow even if we are off) and anyone can join at anytime regardless if the host is on

[soft notch]

If it’s a dedicated server, yes. However it’s in a “paused” state if no one is connected

[arctic robin]

ah ok i think i remember he has a mod for that

the server is always running regardless if anyones connected

[soft notch]

No, no need for transfer of world file

[arctic robin]

ok i think i got it, our world is always running and online so i just need to copy my character files to my laptop and i should be able to just join the server and everything should be in order

Me and my friend are both on Xbox and won’t let us play?

[arctic robin]

last question before i head out, when i send my files to my laptop how do i use them

[soft notch]

You’re trying to connect to the other’s world? Or not open the game itself?

[arctic robin]

do i need to put them into the same "username" > AppData > LocalLow > IronGate > Valheim.

[soft notch]

You put them into the file you pulled them out of, just on your laptop

[arctic robin]

gotcha

reverse order, thanks for the help

We played on mine but the next day when he tried to join me said error code 2456 I think

#xbox-bugs-discussion might be a spot to ask in.
Only thing I can suggest is double checking if you hosted it, and if the join code was correct

[empty wharf]

Ohh okk
