I usually remain playing with normal settings when solo, but I find 1,5x multiplier reasonable when playing co-op with friends. 👍

[full mesa]

Like are they bigger in the inisde

[tired root]

Amount of POIs remain unchanged.

Or layouts, it's determined by world seed.

[full mesa]

So pretty much everything generated when making a new world is pretty much that

But the multiplier can affect loot generation chests

[frosty frost]

The multiplier affects pretty much just drops and chest loot 🙂 nothing else

[full mesa]

Good to know

[full mesa]

I go insane because iron is such a valueble resource

You never have ENOUGH

That long ship you have? yeah not enough

[tired root]

Depends, if you're builder you will need more.

[full mesa]

No ones stopping ya from playing 2x or 3x, I just play 3x because I already played through the entire game, just replaying it

[full mesa]

I planned this world to be my main and build bases in all biomes

Thats my project

I've never built bases in other biomes, exception meadows, plains, mistlands, and ashlands

[tired root]

Hmm, personally I don't mind the normal grind, I'd find 2x or 3x bit too much, but like I said, 1,5x reasonable with group.

[frosty frost]

x1,5 is also good if you just want a bit faster playthrough with less grind, without completely being drowned in resources 🙂

[tired root]

But that's what world modifiers are for, to adjust game to your preference. 👍

[full mesa]

1.5x is still a reasonable choice for solos, extra dont hurt

[full mesa]

My barrels are filled with troll hide

1.5x is the middle ground for extra but not too much

[frosty frost]

Tbh, mine usually are too, thats when playing on x1 xD

[full mesa]

Them troll raids are getting out of hand

[lapis hearth]

Tha is my little problem their not feed, so their note make little wolf

[thorn spire]

Sometimes the pathfinding is a bit wierd. Try throwing the food in slightly different locations. Also, your pens may not be big enough.

[long pasture]

If you build on a smaller island and take up all of the grass, are you immune to raids or enemy spawns?

[frosty frost]

If you cover the whole area in player base structures, sure

[full mesa]

There are certain creatures that can spawn on water but if you do what Asatru said you'll probably be ok

[thorn spire]

Also make sure you're covering the whole coast. The island biome area extends a bit into the water and can still spawn.

[long pasture]

19 trolls and a bear proceed to spawn inside my bay/dock

[thorn spire]

exactly.

[full mesa]

😭

[thorn spire]

not likely, but still possible.

[long pasture]

I love the black forest music and appearance too much for a meadows base

[long pasture]

Ok, thank you! Also, nice rivendell background!-a tolkien nerd

[frosty frost]

Yw, and ty

[hidden coral]

Help! Could anyone tell me why I haven’t gotten a single raid? I used to get raids all the time in this area until I finished terraforming, and now it doesn’t happen anymore. Did I terraform too much to cause this?

[tacit breach]

Terraforming does not effect raids. Your just getting bad RNG, if you want raids, or good RNG if you prefer to not get raids.

[marble roost]

Raids are entirely chance based, but if you want more raids you can change the raid world modifier before loading up the world next time

[hidden coral]

Good to know, thanks! Maybe I’m just having really crazy RNG

[cloud otter]

I wish 1.5 didn't duplicate dragon eggs

[tacit breach]

Its not that high of a chance in the first place. So the fact you were having regular raids was essentially getting good rolls on your dice. I forget the exact time frame, or chance, but its something along the lines of one check per hour (or whatever it actually is) with a 15% chance of getting it (Or whatever the chance actually is). The point is, the chance is low. So you getting it frequently was just good luck, since you wanted them to happen.

[glacial tulip]

hey does anyone know the date or the week that 1.0 comes out/deep north update?

[tough hare]

Nope, no-one knows.
The only thing we do know is that it's coming to the PS 5 in 2026.
But that's all.

Just keep an eye on the #news channel, as soon as we know it will be in there!

[past coral]

Has anyone had any issues with build snapping points refusing to work I play on a rented server with some friends and my gf and we have both had trouble with our building because of the snapping points seeming to completely stop working once our respective builds reach instance counts around 13k+, even snapping one meter beams on top of eachother has become a matter of freeplacing the beam as close as we possibly can even with no obstructions from other build pieces too close. We have tried restarting our games and using doors and other angles to achieve the snapping points but it seems to pick and choose what pieces and when we are allowed to snap. We absolutely adore this game and the community and i hate to raise questions but we just want to know if anyone has a simple fix or maybe other suggestions we haven’t thought of trying? Thank you.

[compact heath]

I can only say I never had this snapping issue really at all, you are using the buttons to toggle between the snap points yes?

I don't think you can snap one meter on top of each other in the same way like vertical to vertical or horizontal to horizontal if I understand that right

[past coral]

Yes, here i can share a short video example to help better describe

This is just an example using 1m beams where they seem to snap to some floors perfectly and in other areas just simply wont, this happens with many different build pieces and in different areas as well.

[compact heath]

is there something underneath interfering is what I could think of

like the chain from a hanging brazier or something or item stands or rugs even I dunno

[past coral]

Underneath those floors is about 2m of free airspace then there is a ceiling below it which is the roof of my basement area, my gf is building in a completely different area with a build of the same size and is experiencing the same issues with grausten pillars to decorate her exterior

[compact heath]

apart from that, this question might be above my paygrade sadly, I don't know what could be going on apart from that

[past coral]

Thats okay. Just wanted to know if there was something that we were missing. Thank you for responding and attempting to troubleshoot so quickly we appreciate it

Hopefully we can figure it out somehow valheim is easily our favorite building game and it is strange to see this happening out of the blue. We dont use any mods if that helps i know that could be a cause of issue

[compact heath]

all good I try to help when I can, could also ask your server owner for help maybe they know something, if they server has no mod nothing installed at all then this is a strange issue, could also have to do with lag maybe but just guessing now

[sage maple]

the owner of the server does use mods so maybe that is the issue but he’s also been having snapping point issues so I’m not sure what the issue is really

I can’t even snap like basic grausten and ash wood pieces together

[tall ledge]

How do you hide the HUD in game? Google says its CTRL + F3 but thats not working, curious if thats been changed recently or where I can check/change the binding for it

[compact heath]

could be a mod that is installed on the server itself if server owner is using a mod like that

[sage maple]

True I think he has like infinity hammer and the plant everything mod, maybe it’s comin from one of those

[sage maple]

Do u use pc or xbox

[tall ledge]

PC

[sage maple]

Oof you lost me there

[past coral]

I guess we will have to touch base with him again to see what mods he has active and if theres anything we can do to try and help the issue

[sage maple]

I play on Xbox🤣

[compact heath]

I have not had this issue playing without mods at all so far with big buidlds

[sage maple]

So hearing more apparently the mods he uses are only client side or else wouldnt even be able to join the server cause we play on Xbox. I guess I’m confused cause on other servers I’ve gotten up to around the same instance count and had no snapping issues so I wonder if the world is just bugged

Just so frustrating building for so long and finally getting to start detailing just for snapping points to not work😭

[compact heath]

His client side mod because he is admin could potentially be the reason, if he is willing to test it without them

I am also a server owner and we have Xbox and PC players together

[sage maple]

That’s a good idea whenever he gets on tomorrow I’ll have him test it without mods and like restart the server that might help

Thank you!

[ornate finch]

Did you build your base next to pre-existing unique structure, like big stone circles in meadows?

[past coral]

yes actually the base was made where a meadows village existed because there was a maypole

thats an interesting point because she made her base in the plains biome near two of the large free standing stones and the server owners base was made near the boss standing stones at spawn. I never made that connection between the three bases and we all are experiencing similar issues

[molten mirage]

Have u tried experimenting if it alwso happen to the regular wood structures?
Cuz afaik ashland structures (ashwood and grausten) are not yet optimized. Some pieces literally have diff snapping points between its two sides.

Grausten wall for example does not snap properly if u rotate it 180'.

[past coral]

This is also an interesting point because we have been working on these structures for a long time without issue and have just recently started utilizing more of the ashlands build pieces because we recently had progressed to that point. That is something i will for sure do some more testing on thank you for the suggestion!

[marble roost]

Raid triggers are based on each player in the server right? So if you have two players sitting at a base it'll run two triggers, effectively doubling the chance of a raid happening compared to if there was just one person?

[frosty frost]

Pretty much, yeah. But there can still be only one raid active at a time 🙂

[tacit breach]

Thats kind of wild to me, because about half of the raids will occur when one of us is in our base, and the other is through a portal some where else. I guess you gotta love the fickleness of RNG. 😄

[olive ocean]

raids are triggered either by the furthest boss defeated or individual player progression based on the settings option, and a player just has to by near 3 base structures for the chances to be rolled, iirc it's rolled every 20 mins

[tired root]

Every 43 minutes and 20% chance for raid to trigger when conditions are met.

[olive ocean]

mmm thx

[olive ocean]

43 mins is 2 days correct?

[worn barn]

Not quite

[tacit breach]

I believe days are 19 minutes, and nights are 9 minutes. So 2 days would be 56 minutes. Assuming I have it correct.

[worn barn]

21m day, 9m night. Is it 19? I thought it was 21, which is why comfort 14 is perfect cuz that's morning to night...

[tacit breach]

It might be. I don't memorize this stuff, its what we have timers for. 😄

[worn barn]

Google sez 21/9

[olive ocean]

does the wiki say that

[tacit breach]

OK, so I was off by 2 minutes. Still doesn't match up as 2 days for the event checks.

[worn barn]

Aye - raids are ~1.5 days apart

[tacit breach]

Which makes sense, they wouldn't want to make it easy for us to predict the checks.

So they would be easy to avoid. At least in the days before we could just turn them off.

[tired root]

Whole day cycle is 30 minutes, 21 day and 9 night.

[tacit breach]

Yep, Kumatedo corrected me already.

[worn barn]

@olive ocean I'm sure it does, I've checked this a few times. If you have a 14 comfort rest area that gives you full day of rested effect, then I use a 3 comfort shelter to get 10m rested at night.

[tired root]

Seems like. I'm replying like I was Internet Explorer. 😅

[olive ocean]

so 1 1/2 days

[inner maple]

Is there any way to stop the hammer from breaking while building with costs off? meaning debugmode + b

[compact heath]

afaik not but I think you can click repair without being at the bench

[zenith quarry]

I have a request for people on pc to help with (I'm on xbox so I don't have access to commands) I'm going to be painting all the miniatures for the bored game over the holidays and would like screen shots of the creature models but also the 1 and 2 star versions, could anyone help me out with this?

[inner maple]

Ahh good call

[frosty frost]

Option 1: go to options in game and enable the Console, Xbox can use commands too 😄

Option 2: look at the wiki, it does have non-starred and starred version of creatures that can have stars 🙂

[inner maple]

I renamed my character and world with a hex editor, and everything seems to be working, but I'm playing mapless and don't want to look at the map until I finish the game
Is there anyone that would be willing to load up my world with the map on and just check that there's still map progress?

[olive ocean]

is there a way to see players who have previously logged into my server?

[spare cargo]

Why not just make a new character quick and check on a new seed?

[tacit breach]

If its a server you pay for it has a log. If its a Steam server I have no idea.

[olive ocean]

yeah its just a steam one

[inner maple]

I already did that, I just want to double check my actual world before playing another 500 hours and finding something went wrong due to more explored, larger file, etc

[inner maple]

That data is in the world's [YourWorldName].db file. If you're comfortable with it, you can open it in a hex editor, search for your name, and find the rest right around it
If not, you can send me your file and char name and I'll give you a list

Should be C:\Users[your windows user]\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\world (worlds_local if you have cloud saves off)

[olive ocean]

hmmm

perchance

[rigid skiff]

why my pig farm is not working?
I had them eating before but now they dont want to eat/breed

even after placing food directly on their enclosure

[steep tusk]

Because they have no space to roam and are protesting animal cruelty 😭

[olive ocean]

how tall is that and how many total hogs are around

[rigid skiff]

3 core wood beams high just like the guide said

0 hogs around

[olive ocean]

what height beams

also try throwing only one stack of carrot outside the wall right up against it and center it

obviously in front of them

[rigid skiff]

core wood

[rigid skiff]

they have food everywhere ._.

[olive ocean]

ok

[rigid skiff]

like this?

[olive ocean]

yes

[rigid skiff]

they are still not eating

for now..

[olive ocean]

are they hungry

[rigid skiff]

yes

my children are starving in front of me

😭 🙏

[olive ocean]

keep throwing it till they eat

[rigid skiff]

i modified the wall and now they can eat
apparently they have a hard time eating through walls

[olive ocean]

nicely done

[molten mirage]

They need an enclosure that's wide enough for them to be able to rotate.
Height doesn't really matter, just make sure u have no fire nearby. Not sure why, they're not scared of fire but won't eat if there's one nearby.

[loud rapids]

Why is it melting...

[mortal mulch]

Max Galdr table is lvl 4? Because i can upgrade wand but need lvl 5

[tired root]

4 is current max level for Galdr table.

[tired root]

There might be slight patch of lava terrain that connects to the piece that melts.

[molten mirage]

Prolly got hit by lava balls

Or invisible lava hitbox

[old tusk]

What's the most fool-proof method to send a world savefile to someone?

I copied the whole local_worlds folder and the world is still corrupted

[tired root]

IIRC you need only the db and fwl files of the world you want to send.

[queen ocean]

Hello, I have no sounds in my game. I have tried re-installing, made sure it is not muted in Windows as an app, all the volume settings are maxed up, this is the only game that doesn't play any sounds/music. Can someone help or let me know how do I log a support ticket for this please?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion

[inland sequoia]

sorry

[inner maple]

You may need to try loading a backup if you're certain the recipient did it correctly
Does the world show up in the list and say it's corrupted, not show up at all, or behave weirdly when loaded? What of the other worlds in the folder you shared, do they work?

[inner maple]

Are you opening with opengl or vulkan? Have you tried the other?

[olive ocean]

what is a hex editor and do you know where a reliable one would be?

[inner maple]

You might want someone else to do it for you then. Want to send me your .db file? I can do it right now (upload it to something like mediafire.com if it's too big for discord)

A hex editor edits "hexidecimal" which is almost another language, it's computerspeak where numbers go up to 16 (the letter F) and it needs to be translated for you
I used HxD yesterday and it worked great: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/ (it from 2003, don't be scared by the website)
ctrl+f -> type in your character name
look through all the random letters nearby and find the other usernames in plain text like yours is

[viscid fox]

what's the best way to obtain chains ? i am doing a solo forever world which collects everything and crafts every weapon and armour maxed (as long the game always it)

and i have big problem collecting chains for black metal shields anad black metal tower sheilds since upgrading them needs alot of chains

[frosty frost]

I always find most in swamp chests 🙂

[viscid fox]

is it better than running around in night looking for wraiths ?

[frosty frost]

I would say so, since you can simply go farm iron and you will almost always get some 🙂

[glad current]

Crypt chests, definitely

[viscid fox]

and i thought i would finally never go to iron crypts again xD

[frosty frost]

Never enough iron xD

[viscid fox]

Never enough chains for me xD

i got tons of irons

[tacit breach]

I'd much rather get iron in Mistlands. Unfortunately we need a heck of a lot of it before we even get there.

[viscid fox]

from breaking the bridges ?

and marble stratucers ?

[tacit breach]

Yes. Bonus that they are iron bars, so no smelting needed.

[frosty frost]

Crypts still are the most plentiful source, but it can be somewhat depressing in there 😄

[tacit breach]

You can get 60+ bars from the larger bridges. Plus, they are already bars.

[frosty frost]

Yeah, but there will be way more crypts with more iron throughout the world 🙂
The bridges are still great source ofcourse

[glad current]

Have y’all found piles of muddy scraps in the overworld? Because I’ve randomly come across, like, 3, just chilling on a hillside leading up to BF

[tacit breach]

Overworld?

[steep tusk]

Easier to find when you have the wishbone, but they are around.

[glad current]

Not in dungeons*

[frosty frost]

Yep, they are scattered throughout swamps, and they also have higher drop rate of iron scrap than the normal ones in crypts 🙂

[tacit breach]

Plus a lot of them are in water making it too deep to dig them out completely.

[steep tusk]

Given dungeons are way up in the sky, technically we play on the "underworld" 😄

[glad current]

Considering we’re all dead, it’s ALL the underworld!

[viscid fox]

The problem is that with the weight limit , bringing a cart in mistlands is almost impossible due to how mistlands generates , and idk if this is true or not but the iron bars are heavier than the ore

And swamps are much easier to navigate with a cart and usually always close to a sea

[glad current]

Iron bars are lighter; silver is the one that defies science and becomes heavier after the impurities are removed

[viscid fox]

Lmao nice to know

[frosty frost]

They are heavier than scrap 🙂 iron bars - 12 weight, iron scrap - 10 weight
Silver stays at the same weight

[tacit breach]

Yeah, bridges are often on the coast line, but not always. I've found plenty on what is essentially a large pond. 😄

[viscid fox]

How do you deal with the resources falling in water?

[frosty frost]

Jump after them 😄

[viscid fox]

You just build wooden foolr around it

[tacit breach]

I build wood platforms to catch them. Some go in the water anyways, but most stay on the platform.

[viscid fox]

Yea that what I been doing too , but it was annoying xD

Worth the marble and free iron though

Also I figured you can get chains somehow from mistlands, from the dvergers camps according to the wiki

Idk how many is it though

[tacit breach]

Not that I recall.

[glad current]

The hooks/crane things

[frosty frost]

Iirc you can from the dig sites, those have the hooks as Rain said 😄

[glad current]

I think (it’s been a bit since I destroyed one) it only gives one chain when the central hook is destroyed

[tacit breach]

Those hooks are often missing. I'd rather hunt wraiths in the swamps. You can get 5 or so per night.

[steep tusk]

Imagine if you could summon skeletons with Dead Raiser and then give them soft tissue + entrails to upgrade them to zombies 😏

[viscid fox]

Sounds sick ngl

I wish if I can give the skeletons. A better weapons or bow or arrows

[frosty frost]

Imo the best best ways to farm chains are 1) swamp chests, 2) hunting wraiths, 3/4) Dvergr sites/sealed tower chests

[viscid fox]

Maybe they are too weak to hold any heavier weapons

[tacit breach]

They don't have muscles in the first place. Its all just magic.

[viscid fox]

What about wraith raids

[frosty frost]

Ah, true, forgot about those, but you would have to get lucky to get that specific raid

[tacit breach]

Unreliable, but I get 5 or 6 when those do occur.

[tired root]

Chain delivery incoming. 👻

[viscid fox]

Yea true , I am pretty much seen 1 event with the wraiths

[tacit breach]

I can usually find one swamp where I can get 5 or so reliable wraith spawns per night. No swamp house needed, btw.

[tired root]

It's not too old raid tho, it was added in Bog Witch update and can trigger after defeating Bonemass.

[viscid fox]

I don't get raids too much tbh since I am playing in default settings and Don't. Really stay in one place that often

Drakes raids are my favorite though

Wish there were permanent

[tired root]

If you usually have lots of tames you'll be glad it won't be permanent.

[glad current]

Move to the mountains

[frosty frost]

Yeah, mountain base will give you quite a lot of drake encounters 😄

[viscid fox]

I always y dig a deep hole and cover it with Best floor then build a house

[viscid fox]

The blizzard storm is so annoying there

The only thing I hate in th mountains

[glad current]

I mean only if you care about minor things like frame rate or actually seeing.

[viscid fox]

minor

[glad current]

minor

[steep tusk]

🤔 How often are you getting blizzards?

[viscid fox]

Idk every time I go there is seems

Just unlucky timing

[steep tusk]

Been living in the mountain for over a year and I barely get any.

[viscid fox]

I mean the weather effects are predetermined with the days so I can look them up

But where the fun in that

[steep tusk]

About as fun as checking the weather irl, but people still do that 😉

[tacit breach]

I'm hapopy to say that soon after I started playing Valheim I got a better PC. So thsoe snow storms stopped causing me issues.

[viscid fox]

Will weather doesn't bother me that much irl tbh with you xD

[steep tusk]

True, it is just a visibility thing for me.
But same thing happens in Plains when the fog rolls in.

[viscid fox]

It's always pretty dry out here except 2 months a year

[tacit breach]

Sounds like you live in AZ.

[viscid fox]

naaa , Egypt

[olive ocean]

idk how to find the files, i moved the save to local and even then my thing doesnt have AppData at all

not even for other games

[compact heath]

1. live in a swamp treehouse with an open balcony 2) swamp chests, 3) hunting wraiths, 3/4) Dvergr sites/sealed tower chests

[viscid fox]

5. wraiths raid

[compact heath]

yeah i don't get it often

[viscid fox]

Same xD

I get way too many skeleton raids

[compact heath]

I mean theorhetically I could turn up raids, I would really consider that, but ... but... bats so I can't really do it!

[viscid fox]

I never finished this game solo every so I made a world as some would call it a forever world with default settings

[compact heath]

I only have like 8 solo worlds or so, and then play on servers exclusively now really

[viscid fox]

My first valheim experience was with 2 friends who introduced me to this game and since then I fall in love with it but my friends never wanted to countie after entering the swamp and kinda gave up and never came back , I countied the world alone up until mistlands (Ashlands wasn't in the game yet ) but idk what happens and didn't countie the world or even fight the queen even though I has simi ready for her

I hate playing solo but it's the best way to play unfortunately ( I tried to join Many different online servers never really worked out well and rarely have a good experience)

[olive ocean]

this is what i found

[tired root]

If you want to find game save files you need to go this route:
user > AppData > LocalLow > IronGate > Valheim.

[olive ocean]

^

[tired root]

IIRC you need to "activate" the AppData folder somehow to be found.
-# It's been long time I did it so can't remember now.

[viscid fox]

Try this maybe , press windows key + R at same time and write %appdata% in what will open for you

[olive ocean]

ok that works thx a lot

is .db data base file type? cause i aint got any ".db"

[tired root]

You need both db and fwl files.

[olive ocean]

i understand now, thanks everyone who helped

[fleet egret]

is there a way for me to destroy a runestone ? even in creative? I built my base near one then expanded and now its in my base

[tired root]

Afaik no ways to remove them, not even with forcedelete console command.

anyone have any idea when is the discount of the game?

[thorn spire]

should be soon.

i.e. probably before Christmas.

[mint topaz]

Is there a way to set world modifiers to something very specific

IE can I set the resource rate to 1.49*

[frosty frost]

Maybe in the winter sale on steam, we will see if Valheim is included in ~18 hours 🙂

[marble roost]

No

[frosty frost]

Depends which ones, some yes, some no

[mint topaz]

Specifically the resource rate

[frosty frost]

Then as SoftSnail said

[mint topaz]

Very sad

[steep tusk]

Given it rounds up anyway, being able to set it to 1.49 wouldn't be any different than 1.5

[frosty frost]

How about 1,44 tho 😏

[steep tusk]

Same. 😁

[viscid fox]

Why u want 1.49 so badly xD

[steep tusk]

I am not the one who asked for it?

[viscid fox]

It's not just Grausten?

ohhhh, its ashlands stuff? i havent gotten there yet haha

do iron gates still act as an op building support or did that get patched out?

[oblique zodiac]

Hi guys i need some help. I’m playing single player and i was struggling to find Yagluth’s runestone. So i tried spawning it in to find the boss arena but i accidentally spawned in his sacrificial stone and it’s just in the middle of my base’s compound. I’ve tried force delete but it didn’t work. Does anyone know how I can remove it? It’s a real eyesore and it’s also just in the way. Thanks.

[tacit breach]

Pretty sure that is among the list of things we cannot get rid of once we spawn it in.

An actual list may be on the wiki, I don't know, I have only seen them talked about here.

[oblique zodiac]

So I’m cooked?

[tacit breach]

If I am right, you have a fixture you need to figure out how to make it look cool. I mean, its his stone, so that can be made to be cool looking.

[oblique zodiac]

i did think about that but its floating above the ground a bit and facing away from the center of the compound so it looks very out of place. I searched up and maybe I can use a world edit mod to remove it. can anyone confirm this?

[tacit breach]

That is probably best to ask about in the channel for #mods-discussion

[oblique zodiac]

okay thank you

[magic vortex]

Is there any way to upload a completed downloaded world to a dedicated server?

[tacit breach]

Yes, we can upload and download the world files. At least I was able to on G Portal.

Could try to load a backup of the world. Can do that from the main menu

[stone epoch]

Looking through the game code on github, can someone tell me which directory the creature detection parameters would be located under?

[humble ore]

Yo anyone gots the jute?

[midnight estuary]

How do yall deal with skeletons? Im struggling with the burial chambers and getting swarmed by them

[marble roost]

Parry them with a shield

Clubs and torches are good against them but in burial chambers they hit the walls a lot when swinging which reduces their damage, so I prefer a spear or sword personally

[glad current]

Get them clogged in a doorway and work to chip away at them, moving out of range of their attacks or parrying as necessary

[marble roost]

You can also let one or two come at you then close the door so the rest cant follow. makes it easier to fight them one on one

If you’re struggling, 3x hp foods can also be good

And don't spam the same message in multiple channels plz..

[humble ore]

Yo guys so I was making a joke on here a while ago where i said f boats 🛶 and it’s actually a thing so if you use the new trinket for swimming and the swimming potion and have the dear boss buff you can swim from place to place no problem with time to spare ya it protects you from the serpent and you have to use a boat to get to the Ashland’s but for basically everything else you can totally just swim and it feels faster and sorry I don’t use specific names. I’m just dyslexic so it’s hard for me to spell those.

This is for sure my new preferred way to travel

[steep tusk]

The aquaman bracers do have their uses.

[humble ore]

It’s just crazy not taking 45 minutes to travel 3 islands it only takes me about 20 now

+2 inventory slots compared to four inventory slots definitely taking the braces in the potions

[marble roost]

Yeah they're very nice

Once you get your hands on a serpent trophy and iron

They're also pretty clutch for survival when you get overwhelmed

[humble ore]

Definitely they the new staple outside of the Ashlands

[steep tusk]

I wonder if the Flametal armor negates the water temp, allowing you to swim Ashlands at that point.

[thorn spire]

Did flametal armor get a buff? I know it slows down the cooking process but it didn't stop it entirely.

at least not the last time I boiled myself alive.

[steep tusk]

If I knew that, I wouldn't be wondering 😉

[thorn spire]

lol

so go make a Sevrahn stew and find out. I'll bake some biscuits.

[steep tusk]

Will butter be provided?

[thorn spire]

My biscuits are always buttered. 😏

[glad current]

I have the sudden unhealthy desire to make a bath house in the Ashlands. “Soothing steam to relax away your woes!”

J/K it’s lava.

[steep tusk]

Building a hot tub directly over the lava should make it always active and not require wood fuel 😄

[marble pagoda]

nah

[humble ore]

Yo does the crystal necklace and bone mass stack?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[humble ore]

Danm they the same or is bonemass better

Just finally building the trinkets

[steep tusk]

Better is subjecthive.

They are the same. One is just instant with a 15 min cooldown and the other is something you have to build up to.

Your choice on which is "better."

[humble ore]

The necklace definitely so that way I could stack up other abilities with it so I can have that and increase attack at the same time or ect

[steep tusk]

Alternatively: Bonemass allows you to have the resist and wear a different trinket to have multiple effects.

[humble ore]

Oh ya update on the collection

[humble ore]

Ya I just have a bunch of potions of resistance all 3 types I can just throw on those when i need and i build up the adrenaline pretty quickly so having fader or having yagluth would be better for this guy but if i need full tank i would take bonemass and use the necklace that gives you 100 health and 100 stamina

[marble pagoda]

bonemass also gives some other perks now like stam refund on block
but yeah the damage resistance value is the same

simply run fader and juggle multiple trinkets at once

[steep tusk]

Don't even need Fader to juggle depending on what you want.
Many of them have minute-long buffs, making juggling simple.

[vague tangle]

Any suggestions on what I'd need to bring with me to the ashlands. Boats got 32 slots of storage. We scoped out an area and found a ruined building close to the shore me and my buddy were planning on using as a settlement.

[steep tusk]

Viking or Mage?

[vague tangle]

You mean what gear are we running?

[glad current]

Materials to make a || shield generator and temporary portal until you can get the stone one ||

[steep tusk]

No, playstyle. And I will recommend the gear.

Because this is about what to bring, no?

[vague tangle]

Oh. One of each. I'm normally running mage, my friend is normally running sword and shield

I was thinking about materials

[steep tusk]

You: Staff of Fireball.
Friend: Mistwalker + Carapace Buckler for killing things, Demolisher for space control.

[vague tangle]

Gotcha

[steep tusk]

Materials: Look up "Stone Portal" and bring everything that isn't the new core item so you can build one.

[vague tangle]

That's a good call

[vague tangle]

OK

[steep tusk]

Once you clear a fortress, if it drops the green gems, your priority for that specific color is making Staff of Wilds for yourself.
Red gems go to making the forge upgrade.
Blue is for melee weapons.

[true steeple]

If you previously made a silver sword, bring it. It deals more damage than mistwalker against many enemies in ashlands.

[vague tangle]

Sweet. Good to know!

[steep tusk]

Mistwalker slows where silver does not.
Up to your friend which they prefer.

[true steeple]

using a mistwalker slows the kill

and it has a higher stamina cost

[vague tangle]

Yeah. He loves his mistwalker.

Ahh, I didn't notice the stamina difference

[steep tusk]

Fireballs kill. Sword guy is the NPC in Ashlands tbh.

His job is to hold shield and keep things away from mage while mage kills everything.

This will change if they ever balance magic.
So it won't change 😉

[vague tangle]

That's normally what I do in mistlands lol

[true steeple]

when I try magic in ashlands the damage can feel low maybe I'm doing something wrong

[steep tusk]

Probably.

Even fireball staff nukes things.

[vague tangle]

I have all the magic gear.

[steep tusk]

Fireball is your friend until Wilds.

[vague tangle]

Cool

[wet thunder]

Is there a specifc Sub-channel for lonely ahhs like me to find people to play with? Or the closest to that is Valheim-chat?

[glad current]

#1024264966712340510

[wet thunder]

thx

[wet thunder]

just defetaed the Second boss, do I just now run into the swamps with bronze sword, armor and Hopes & Dreams?

[true steeple]

You might want to make meads if you haven't already, then you'll be ready

[wet thunder]

yeah but getting bronze to create barrels to fermet is pain in the butt

[true steeple]

they're more important for the next biome so you should get it done soon

[wet thunder]

especialy that I have mined out every near copper vein and either now have to create A) paths to them and use carts to haul them B) use the boat to haul smaller ammounts from across the seas C) use portal (tho I dont know if they have a limit)

[wet thunder]

yeah I know, resistance agaist poison and then agaist frostbite in the mountains

[steep tusk]

If gathering materials to build stuff is a pain in the butt... you will not like the rest of the game 😂

[wet thunder]

I know, the whole game is just grinding and losing to bosses

[steep tusk]

Who said anything about losing?

[wet thunder]

and I know for a matter of a fact that the swamp boss is embodiment of pain

[steep tusk]

The zero damage fight is pain?????

[true steeple]

with poison resistance and good armor you don't need to move in the whole fight

[wet thunder]

Im no player with the reaction time of a souls player

[true steeple]

hold up a banded or serpent shield

[wet thunder]

or use "questionable strategy"

by not letting the boss hit you

[true steeple]

if you kill a serpent you can use one or two of its foods to get significantly higher health than the boss is balanced for

[wet thunder]

the big thingy in the sea?

[true steeple]

yes

[glad current]

They’re not that bad if you prepare in advance

[glad current]

One of the big thingies >.>

[wet thunder]

yeah I got to meet it on my way trying to find the swamps and the location of The Elder before

I was already thinking on how will I get my stuff back after it kills me, but it swan away after hitting my boat

[true steeple]

they're balanced to fight with black forest equipment

[wet thunder]

so I just shoot them with a bow?

[true steeple]

yes, and don't use fire arrows

[oblique zodiac]

thank you so much worked great

[olive ocean]

love that thing, its so good

[next canyon]

I used a Mistwalker for a bit in Ashlands before going back to my trusty Frostner.

[steep tusk]

Frostner 🤢

[next canyon]

Im a club guy. Club to clear burial chambers. Iron mace to clear Bonemass and Modor. Frostner to basically solo the rest of the game. 😎

[marble roost]

I’m not a fan of clubs

[eager mango]

Can fulings and fuling berserkers come from the water during the raid? I've got earth walls around my base except for the shores, there's just the ocean ahead

[true steeple]

they'll be able to spawn on land around your base then swim around the walls

[eager mango]

Dang. So I absolutely can't speedrun moder lol

[narrow loom]

If you have a magic barrier up and block an enemy attack with a shield, does that reduce the damage the magic barrier takes?

[compact heath]

you need them around ocean side too else they will swim in, when i was a bit newer i always had that problem, now I do them all around or build on an island

[marble roost]

No. Shield takes full damage from everything, before applying block armor (parry), regular armor, resistances, or weaknesses

It will allow you to parry any attack though, even if it has insane damage

[narrow loom]

I thought so. Would I be better off running a two handed axe instead of a one handed plus shield in that case then?

[marble roost]

If you’re using the shield bubble a lot you don’t really need a shield yeah

The Ashlands two handed axe is very nice

[frosty frost]

If you have the bubble always active then you can for sure do that 🙂

[steep tusk]

You still build double adrenaline with Carapace Buckler though.
So that is to be considered.

[worn barn]

I wasn't on my first play through, mostly sword n board on that guy; 2nd world I did the whole nothing but clubs and boy howdy that's the ticket.

[compact heath]

Can I introduce you to our saviour, Atgeir Supremacy? 😄

[steep tusk]

Cult of the Blackmetal Atgeir existed for eons.

[marble roost]

I think lately I’ve been doing something like knife and spear in meadows, then bronze axe until I get bear claws. Then an iron battleaxe, fang spear, maybe a silver sword though I’ll only really use it come Ashlands/yag. Plains just a knife or sword prob, until I get vile fist weapons

Then mistlands and beyond I kinda go crazy swapping between a lot of weapons

I like to switch it up a lot

Two things I’ll never touch are bows and atgeirs. Ive been considering maces but I find they tend to leave me disappointed, especially with fists and battleaxes being able to stagger just as well if not better

[worn barn]

That's probably next on my list - I did try one on my first world and it was fun; now that I know what the hell I'm doing I'll most likely pick them up again. I've tried out most weapons and have favorites, I've always got a bow with me though. I include the maces in with the clubs as a "category"

[steep tusk]

Atgeirs combined insane damage and stagger with very respectable blocking capability.

Can also stack Wolf Trinket very quickly for even more damage.
Or Evasion Mantle for increased defensive potential.

[worn barn]

I don't remember, can they parry or only block? I'm a huge fan of parry and use it all the time.

[steep tusk]

Everything can parry except Tower Shields.

[stray locust]

I LOST ALL MY SKILLS, ITS ALL ZERO AGAIN

[marble roost]

Time to go re-grind them!

[austere wedge]

Ashlands on hardcore is driving me insane 😂

[midnight estuary]

Boars are barely spawning.
How can I fix this issue

On console btw, just hit bronze age

[cedar lodge]

looks like just evil RNG, if it's that only luck can fix it
also keep in mind that base structures (benches, fires, standing torches, beds etc) prevent spawns so maybe look for them away from your own bases and outposts (eg a single, outdoor and not burning campfire is enough to prevent spawns for a 20m radius)

[proud nest]

Hello any ideas why my steam cmd update for dedicated server is not working? Win10. im getting error : "error! app '896660' state is 0x6 after update job"

[eager mango]

oh, thanks for the info

[floral river]

i TALK TO HILdar but she isn't giving me the quests for her towers, what should I do?

[tired root]

Click the map table in front of her.

[marble roost]

Look at her table near her and interact with it

[floral river]

thanks!

[wet thunder]

at what level does a bronze mace outperform max level club?

[steep tusk]

First.

Max Wood Club is 30.
Min Bronze Mace is 35.

All of this is freely available on the wiki...

[wet thunder]

thanks... but does the club still hold up in the swamps or does it get left in the dust?

[frosty frost]

Compared to the lvl4 mace you will most likely have once you get to swamp, it wil be left behind

[ruby oar]

since it's a gradual increase in numbers, that's pretty subjective. i skip the bronze mace these days, even beat bonemass with two wooden clubs (one doesn't have enough durability)

[wet thunder]

guess its time to head back into the mine and craft that bronze mace

[steep tusk]

Winter dual-wiedling clubs 😏

[glad current]

Winter is Bonking 🐺

[marble roost]

club does okay in swamp until you get swamp materials to make a swamp mace. But its really just up to how much difficulty you want, a upgraded bronze mace will for sure kill things faster

[wet thunder]

is there anything else I will need when heading to the swamps? I still have to prepare anti-poison and more food but outside of that this set up could work?

(ignore the big time watermark)

[marble roost]

Seems pretty good yeah. Could maybe clear a few things out of your inventory just so you have room for more swamp loot. Like maybe drop the cultivator and knife, and stick to one stack of arrows

[glad current]

And drop some of the food

[marble roost]

Raspberries and necktails are also pretty low tier food you don't want in the swamps

[wet thunder]

yeah Ik, some stuff out, since food is my biggest weight contributor

[steep tusk]

Why are you taking your cultivator and hoe around with you randomly?

[wet thunder]

dont know, too lazy to make space in storage

hoe can be useful in swamps to clear some water

[icy birch]

Hoe is good in swamps for making paths thru the water

[wet thunder]

knife is going out and cultivator because I wanna do some farming rn

[icy birch]

I make paths for my cart to connect crypts so I can amass all the iron at a spot near a shore

[steep tusk]

I just use Eikthyr to sprint all the iron to the boat.

[wet thunder]

is this ammout of food enough for the swamps?

or should I hunt more deer

[glad current]

Deer stew will serve you better than the cooked deer

But that should be enough for a scouting mission

[steep tusk]

Yes, but deer meat is only used in cooked form, so cooking all of it is the way it should be stored.

[marble roost]

I mean you can always make more later on, but you'll unlock new food in the swamp eventually. You seem like you're fine for a while though. The deer stew and cooked bear and carrot soup is some of the best food for you right now

[wet thunder]

I already know that, but I still have to grind more ingredients for more higher tier foods

[icy birch]

Hunt in swamps for turnips. Make that a focus for your scouting

Stock up on drops from leeches and draugr

[marble roost]

Also if you have a level 2 bronze sword you don't need a bronze mace

Maces aren't required for swamp at all except maybe for the boss, but by that time you'll have swamp gear

[wet thunder]

and more thing (so someone doesnt attack me for still using low tier foods pre-swamp) I use lower tier foods when Im not in bossfight or just simply chillinh building or doing something boring

[icy birch]

This is perfectly fine. Just no need to carry a ton of food with you. 3 or 4 of deer stew, carrot soup and cooked bear and you are golden for scouting

[wet thunder]

and is there a specific better replacement for the flint spear? Or should I completely skip the bronze version?

[frosty frost]

The bronze is the direct upgrade, swamp has another, same mountains

[steep tusk]

Bronze is the better replacement for flint.
Ancient bark is the better replacement for bronze.

WOLF SPEAR TAKES SILVER BUT DOES NO SPIRIT DAMAGE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[icy birch]

Silver shield should damage undead that are blocked by it, just sayin

With the amount of silver it takes to build it

[worn barn]

Silver is an anti-lycanthrope trope, not necessarily undead.

[true steeple]

Spirit damage in valheim works against undead and bats though

[frosty frost]

Also werewolves 😄

[steep tusk]

Those are lycans 😉

Lycanthropy is were-wolf-ism.

[frosty frost]

-# I seem to also lack the ability to read more than 2 messages up xD

[steep tusk]

-# Werewolves can't read either 😉

[worn barn]

Not denying that - it's obviously not a direct correlation to traditional folktales concerning how things work - just saying that silver, by itself, is not necessarily "spirit" damage, and that it typically is only effective vs Lycans

[frosty frost]

Historicaly, silver is simply anti-evil material, not neccesarily anti-lycan material 🙂

[worn barn]

< internally debates to jump down the rabbit hole or not> 🤔

<externally expresses the internal debate> 😂

[tired root]

Tbf it takes very little silver to craft. Flesh rippers also lack spirit.

[steep tusk]

I AM RAGING

[tired root]

Hi Raging, I'm dad.

[glad current]

The silver spear uses silver in the handle; the actual damage-dealing part is a wolf fang.
Similarly, the flesh rippers are made from wolf claws, with silver for the around-the-hand bits

[steep tusk]

STILL RAGING

[glad current]

boops Sevrahn in the snoot

[steep tusk]

Having a spirit-damage spear is not too much to ask...

[glad current]

No. Bad ragemonster.

[inner maple]

Every 2 minutes a neck shows up and starts eating my ships, I go to kill it and it swims away so I can't. It's just nonstop at my new base, is there a way I can make the dock so they can't get to the boat? Is it just the location I picked?
I have walls around my base, and on 2 sides they extend out into to the water to wall off the dock. The neck swim around the wall in the water and just hit the ships, is there anything I can do? I'm thinking I'll set up ballistas if nothing else

[thorn spire]

They're afraid of fire I'm pretty sure. Add some bonfires at the end of your seawalls; that should deter them from going around the end.

[inner maple]

oooo good call! thanks :)

[drowsy crane]

Even with fires they will swim further around if the goal is inside the base, you must completely surround your base with walls, and have the dock outside the walls for total security. They will attempt to path towards any noises. You can further protect yourself from this issue with spawn blocking objects, I usually make a ring of watch towers that surround my base with workbenches high above ground. It's nice for on the go repairs as well.

[true steeple]

why would you kill the neck

[limpid urchin]

You need them for some potions (the poison resist) I believe

[subtle parrot]

Blob is vehemently against neck killing lol

[glad current]

If he’s against neck killing why does he display their severed head as a pfp?? Checkmate!

[lost sandal]

[hollow willow]

Yo I died in the swamp and I keep getting annihilated every time I try to go back, usually this wouldn’t be an issue but I died near bone and drahgr piles. The ones with arrows keep killing me instantly, there are so many graves I can’t figure out which one is mine, can someone help me?

[inner maple]

I can join your world and help if that's what you're asking for

[hybrid basin]

hi, i have an old version in steam and can't enroll to ptb branch

[lost sandal]

Why are you trying to enter ptb when there's no active test? I dont know if that's the reason it's not working, but I'm pretty sure both branches are the exact same currently

[hollow willow]

Ok I found my stuff I think I’ll be able to get it all

[hybrid basin]

ahh i have 0.219.16, server on 0.221.*

and i don't have any update in steam

[inner maple]

Awesome :)

[lost sandal]

Not sure why steam wouldn't update it for you, that's odd. latest public patch appears to be 0.221.4 (which was released in september) so the server seems good. Normally the solution if an update isn't showing is to restart steam, but it's been so long that I doubt that's it. Only thing I can think of is to verify the game files. Other than that, this would be out of my realm of knowledge.

[marble roost]

Spawn proof the immediate area

I mean you’ll still have to kill the one neck, but to prevent future ones

[limpid urchin]

is it better to make a fullset of armour (mistlands light + heavy) or say a breastplate / pants one of each?

[marble roost]

Just up to your playstyle. Mixing different armor sets is pretty popular though

I'd generally recommend heavy armor helmets because they give the same armor as a chestpiece or legs, but do not give a movement penalty

[limpid urchin]

ooooh okay okay

[marble roost]

The mistlands light armor you only want to use if you're really dedicated to be a mage though imo. And even then I'd personally prefer something like fenris over the mistlands light armor

Heavy armor is always solid, especially with the new mead of ratatosk giving you plenty of speed to bypass the slow movement of the armor

[limpid urchin]

ooooooooooo thats where rataosk would be def helpful

very helpful, thank you (im just starting to nerd out over here) LOL

[marble roost]

I love nerding out 😅

While we're nerding out, the root chestpiece from swamps is kinda busted in plains, mistlands, and even ashlands.

Well, good at least. Busted on higher difficulty

[limpid urchin]

busted good????

[marble roost]

busted good

[limpid urchin]

good to know, sadly the only padded i have is the breastplate LOL

[marble roost]

it halves any enemy's damage if its a pierce attack. And those biomes have a good amount of pierce

On very hard you lower a regular seekers damage by 130 on each hit just with the chestpiece. veryyyy nice

[olive ocean]

would go for passives

[limpid urchin]

wait wait seekers do pierce damage????????? runs to wiki

[subtle parrot]

They're very stabby

[limpid urchin]

the things i find out so late in the game (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[humble crescent]

when I played valheim a few years ago, I threw in several mods, but this playthrough I just did without any.

I'm about to join a server that allows some client side mods. Which ones and where should I look to add a couple that you think "how is this guy playing without these?"

[sturdy folio]

Mods for Valheim aren't officially supported by Irongate. As the game updates mods will break. However if you still wish to modify the game before 1.0 comes out (and after) feel free to look through the ⁠mods-discussion channel
and the other modded content related channels

[spare cargo]

Anyone ever had issues with the \n not creating a new line on signs? I type the second \ and nothing happens and no new line appears, even if i type a third , which outputs "\n" as text, no new line.

[molten mirage]

Peeps at #mods-discussion must've a list of them.

[manic gyro]

I always use <br>

[frail cave]

anyone know how to remove this annoying thing

the cloud fog thing or what ever this is

[willow badge]

it can't really be removed afaik, it depends on the weather and time of day

see if disabling bloom in settings makes it easier to look at

[frail cave]

i actually have it turned off already

[frosty frost]

Yeah, one of the settings makes it smoother so its not in these ugly layers 🙂

[frail cave]

literally i play with this setting XD

[frosty frost]

Try messing with the bloom, soft particles and tasselation, it should be one of those iirc 🤔

[frail cave]

oh its the soft particles

it reduces it XD

[frosty frost]

👍

[vagrant bolt]

Hi i have had a promblem with valheim just turning off my gpu after about half an houre. i am running the game completly vanilla on ultra settings though steam, i have a 3070ti with an 12th gen intel i7-12700F, im running on windows 11 with the newest update, and all of my drivers has been updated this week. what do i do?

i have testet this, and i semes to only be a valheim thing, other games like rdr2, gta5, fortninte, minecraft, phasmofobia, rust, runs perfectly fine and dont turn off my gpu

[heady lagoon]

id lwk say no to that. Cus in the ashlands the main problem is the swords, so id say just run hevy armore parry and destroy them

the archers never hit anyways

[frosty frost]

At the very least busted against ashlands boss 😄

[marble roost]

swords as in ||Charred Warriors? Half their attacks are pierce damage

All the archers attacks are pierce damage

Valkyries attacks (other than the slow af fire spit) is half pierce damage

Morgen swipe is pierce||

Overall root harnesk is pretty useful, though Askvin and Morgen can still hit hard, and with warriors its up in the air which attack they decide to use. On normal difficulty though I think it's up to preference, root harnesk isn't a big diff from just carapace armor

On higher difficulty root harnesk feels much better than other options

[heady lagoon]

yea but the only problem i find in the ashlands is like the askvins

they come from no where and come like in a group of 3

but they are lwk eazy also

I js think they should make the ashlands a bit harder lwk

[marble roost]

Ashlands is the only biome where I really start to struggle on vhard

But I also avoid using cheesy stuff like ranged bubble magic spam

[marble roost]

@sinful terrace here's some of the hp thresholds based on Sevrahns blocking sheet. Rightmost numbers are the health you need to be able to parry the attacks with fully upgraded staff

[steep tusk]

"Based on"?
😏

Also what are the settings in the first image? I thought I fixed all the ghost numbers 😭

[marble roost]

based on the conversation in #valheim-chat , using eitr staves, vhard difficulty, and I just decided on a block skill of 40

[steep tusk]

Will fix when I get up.

Ty. 💛

[lament kiln]

Is there any way to disable the ExploreMap command?

[frosty frost]

As in reverting it or preventing others to use it?

[lament kiln]

Reverting it

[ruby oar]

not really, you can only reset your map with resetmap, completely covering the map with fog again

[frosty frost]

Could maybe roll-back of the world/character help? 🤔

[ruby oar]

restoring a character backup is the only way to get back the map's original state but that obviously reverts skill levels and your inventory as well

(world doesn't need to be rolled back, map discovery is stored on the character)

[true steeple]

Restore a backup, use a cartography table, go back to the new save and use the table again

[ruby oar]

that's a good idea~

[steep tusk]

Restore a neck when they accidentally get killed by neighboring biomes 😭

[lament kiln]

I think I'm fine wit that, that'll be useful

It worked! Restoring a backup was just fine as I spent the last hour and a half looking for a Queen Vegvisir anyway

[near glade]

just upgraded to a 9070xt and I get serious lag when I open my inventory or hit esc for game menu. anyone else encounter this?

got it, adrenalin settings had changed...just disabled everything

[humble ore]

Finally, in the decoration of the building phase of my build, I’ve been using the door and metal walls to create window bars is there any other recommendations that I can do to spice up things? I’m already going to be doing pillars going all the way down with a point on each one but definitely taking recommendations I was also thinking about framing in like a bay window or something 😂

I’m like 3/4 of the way around my bace with these and I have probably 3 or 4 more trips till I have all the copper to finish then I have to get more for the rest of the lanterns

And how long of a video can i post when im done i wanted to post one in screenshots or whatever but its a really big bace so it would probably take 5 or 6 minutes to run around the whole thing once on the inside let alone the outside

[weary robin]

is there a graphics config to see less smoke from campfires and such?

[steep tusk]

Campfires spawn actual smoke particles that have to be dealt with, so I do not believe that is in the graphics options.

[ruby oar]

only thing i can think of is the soft particles setting, having that setting on, not off greatly improves visibility in spaces cluttered with particles, since the setting gradually decreases a particle's opacity wherever it meets another object to make sure there's no hard cut-off where, say, a fog puddle hits a wall

[weary robin]

yep that was what i wanted i'll check it, i can deal with the particles mechanic, its just they are too thick most of the time and i still dont like seeing them on my ceilings when using the braziers for example

[rare stag]

hello

i have a little question about serv

[marble roost]

What is it?

[rare stag]

I'm starting out with a friend and we're looking for a server where there aren't many people so we can be relaxed, but we don't know where to go because I saw that if my friend isn't online, I can't join our server. :

🙁

[marble roost]

If you want to join someone else’s server look in #1024264966712340510

If you want your own it’s either 1) you can only play when the person who owns the world is playing or 2) you need to pay a company to host a server for you so you and your buddy can join 24/7. can look that up on Google not too complicated but does cost something like $8-$10ish per month

[manic gyro]

Or 3) host a server yourself if you have the spare hardware for it (doesn't require much)

[rare stag]

but how

[marble roost]

Probably gonna get more information googling these things

[manic gyro]

As a starting point: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_servers

There's also #dedicated-server if you need help along the way

[jagged hull]

So, am new to valheim, I got a boar trapped in a cage do I need to keep putting food in there for the taming or just 1 piece is enough?

[steep tusk]

It will take more than 1.

But you can throw a stack and they will eat 1 at a time. You do not need to throw them individually.

[jagged hull]

I threw in like 4 strawberries and like 5 mushrooms is that enough? xD

[frosty frost]

Yep, more than enough for 1 boar 🙂

[jagged hull]

Aight aight thats good good, ill be back with more questions later xD

[austere brook]

on PC is there a button to hide the hude entirely for taking pictures and such?

[frosty frost]

Ctrl+F3 🙂

[jagged hull]

Do i need to feed my boar after tamed?

[steep tusk]

Only if you want to heal them or want pairs of boar to make more boar.

[jagged hull]

Ahh oki thanks

[steep tusk]

Is this a downloaded copy of the sheet?

Because I went to fix it, and ghost numbers are not present.

[marble roost]

Nope. Shortly after the screenshot I checked on Normal though, so you'd have to change it back to Very Hard

I just changed it and still see ghost numbers

[steep tusk]

Got it, fixed. Thank you again.

[ember kite]

looking for people who are good at building to make my base look better

[peak path]

What would be the best armor/weapons/ general gear for end of mountains going into plains?

[steep tusk]

Best is subjecthive.

Weapon: Pick one you enjoy using.
Armor: Fenris if you want speed, Wolf if you plan to get hit.
Food: There is a spreadsheet pinned in #valheim-chat I made the Configurations tab specifically for quick-reference. Just go to Mountain and for entering Plains I would recommend HHS.

[peak path]

If i like frostner and go wolf armor for tankyness, should i use tower shield? or regular buckler silver shield, i know there's no silver tower shield but i'm just saying

[steep tusk]

There is no silver buckler.
And I would recommend not using tower shields unless you just don't want to interact with the parry mechanic.

If you enjoy tower shields though, go for it.

[peak path]

Should i bother with the new brooches? like the talismans that give buffs from adrenaline

[steep tusk]

Trinkets are very useful, yes.

[peak path]

Are they one time use only, or do they always get used when i get to that adrenaline amount?

[steep tusk]

Always.

Just pick the one you like and keep it equipped.

[peak path]

Which one should i get if i'm at mountain-plains tier

[steep tusk]

That is entirely your choice to make. There is no wrong answer.

[peak path]

since i use frostner would bracelets of the brave be a good choice?

[steep tusk]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

-# Again, there is no wrong answer. Pick the one you like. Test it, if you don't like how it feels, pick a different one.

[peak path]

Thank you so much, you've been super helpful, obi wan

[steep tusk]

💛 Anytime.

[marble roost]

Popular armor choice for starting plains is drake helmet, root harnesk (chest), fenris legs

But yeah as sevrahn said everything just depends on what you want

[crude kraken]

Hey guys I'm hosting just a server through my PC for my friends but i'm noticing my performance is suffering is there any tips or tricks to help?

[humble ore]

Yo can anyone help me with some blue and red jute im just short and have farmed so much I just can’t bring myself to do another mountains and mistlands run

I’ll show whoever helps the bace and everything I’ve done if they want anything I got in chests they up for grabs

[sturdy folio]

❤️ I have been summoned

[long geyser]

I spawned an yggdrassil shoot, but the placement is fixed. There is a way to rotate them or change its size?

[torpid otter]

Was wondering if anyone knew about boss health scaling mechanics
If a boss is spawned with one player online and then others join, does the health increase or stays the same? And similarly if the boss is spawned with multiple players online, will it always keep that health scaling or would it ever decrease?
Thanks!

[crude kraken]

it's radial based on how players are within 100 meters of any mob

[atomic jacinth]

here you go @cloud otter

[marble roost]

I think if there’s only one person when it spawns, it’s fixed to that lower hp even when others come along

It’s only about if people are nearby, not if they’re online

[frosty frost]

The scaling does update once in a while iirc

[marble roost]

Interesting

[frosty frost]

Found it 😄 https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creatures#Aggressive_creatures
Its updated whenever creature takes dmg

[manic gyro]

If I remember correctly, it's not the health that's scaling with player count, but the armor

[frosty frost]

Their "effective" health is scaling 😄 player does less dmg to them. So yep, pretty much armor goes up.

[marble roost]

I would assume it would be more likely to be a % resistance to damage than armor

[frosty frost]

For every player near creatures suffer 30% less dmg 🙂
-# (Blob is right :D)

How that is achieved... Doesent concern me really 😄

[true steeple]

30% extra effective health is not 30% less damage

With one extra player they’ll be taking about 77% damage

[frosty frost]

Oh, yeah... Math...

Bleh

[true steeple]

Players are the only damageable objects that can ever have an armor value

[ruby oar]

oh huh, i was told the post H&H mp scaling was done using the armor system, and always assumed that that's the reason H&H changed elemental damage to be affected by armor, since it would ignore mp scaling otherwise in that interpretation

[true steeple]

Even if an enemy has equipped an item with an armor value, it’s not used

[cedar valve]

Randomly? Or since you first started playing?

[true steeple]

There would be so many problems with that

[ruby oar]

well good to know that's wrong 😅

[urban valve]

Having problems on downloading a world. Doing this, since my group wanted to swap host and now for some reason Valheim can't see this world in the files. To me it seems like the files are in correct place and in correct file type.

[stiff jewel]

Hello, how i can recover my corpose adn my friend? we accidentally landed on wrong spot that is next to spawner and my boat got destoryed.

it's in ashland

[glad current]

Sounds like you may need to make a new boat, land a little bit east or west from your original landing spot, fortify/make portal, then sprint for your things

[stiff jewel]

i'm so lucky, becasue it's modded run and i quitted by habit and accidentally launching vanilla valheim actually saved me from lost all of my stuffs when i died XD.

[marble roost]

I mean cheats are easily accessible, if you wanna cheat your stuff back you don’t even need luck

[stiff jewel]

i think it's decilated server or smth?

[marble roost]

In that case probably only the server host can do it directly

But anyways you could start your own world, spawn in all the stuff you want, then join the dedicated world with that character and you'll keep everything

[stiff jewel]

yeah i definitenly can do in my old cheat server

[glad current]

Hey, so....I admitted defeat on a true mapless run, tried looking at my world seed on valheim-map.world to find Haldor, but...he's not there. Does anyone have any guidance on how to find the lil bugger?

[tired root]

Was it new world after Call to Arms update?

[glad current]

Brand new

[true steeple]

Maybe you’ve already loaded one of the other locations?

[glad current]

I've only explored this much. And all the other potential locations are, like, almost to the Mistlands, it's crazy :\

[stiff jewel]

yeah, i asked host to cheat because we failed it twice

[glad current]

Unrelated but that bog witch in the ocean is hilarious to me. (west of the red circle)

[jagged hull]

can i increase how much I carry?

[tired root]

One equippable item, one power and one mead.
-# And one temporal buff after you pick your grave and it breaks.

[slow harbor]

In a mapless run if you can't find a trader, it probably spawned behind you and you missed him. Extremely easy to miss on mapless. They are notoriously difficult to find on mapless because you don't get the ui ping of their spawn. Esp haldor since he can be so hidden by trees

If you have friends to help run with you to comb forests that's your best bet on mapless

[jagged hull]

whats the equippable item?

maybe am too early in the game am just making my bronze stuff now

[tired root]

It is purchasable from Black forest trader, called ||Megingjord||.

[stiff jewel]

Hello, how to defeat morgen in putrid hole?

[steep tusk]

Reduce their hp to zero before they do the same to you.

[marble roost]

parry it then hit it. Any weapon should do, but some good pre-ashlands choices would be mistwalker or silver sword, maybe skull splitr

Or use magic on it

[true steeple]

If you have space, jumping to their side when they swipe at you gives you a good opportunity to attack, especially if they're doing a second swipe

[tired root]

Weapons that bypass their resistance against physical damage types can help, like Mistwalker. Their attacks are easily parriable when you have Mistlands tier equipment and foods.

[true steeple]

Skull splittur only deals slash damage so it won't be great

[stiff jewel]

K, yes i do.

[marble roost]

yeah I'm wondering if it can stunlock the morgen after the initial parry tho

I don't have a good grasp anymore of stagger thresholds on normal tho

[tired root]

They're easier to keep locked on stagger with Himminafl.

[marble roost]

fact

I forget atgeirs exist

[tired root]

Plus Himminafl having partial lightning damage which Morgen are weak against.

[marble roost]

Yeah and unlike the charred its not just resistant to pierce but slash too

[tired root]

And blunt (in case of Morgen yes).

[boreal pecan]

I run around screaming

[glad current]

A sound strategy

[atomic jacinth]

can confirm the game engine can survive 8000 seagulls

[crude kraken]

Only while I’m hosting

[gray sentinel]

This leads to the question... what is the maximum number of seagulls it can handle?

[steep tusk]

This to that old Yoda "Seagulls" soundtrack.

[glad current]

Rockin, rockin' and rollin'. Down to the beach I'm strollin'

[green musk]

This is the first thing I see when opening discord

[atomic jacinth]

well the game was 0.5fps there

[long pewter]

so seems like 7999 is already nearly max

[dusk dome]

Good evening! I haven't played the game since about 2 months after release. Finally got a new PC and I'm looking to dive back in. Back around launch, any big builds or lots of lights would tank fps. Is that still the case or does it hold up decent nowadays?

[subtle parrot]

It's surely a lot better than back then (although I don't play on pc) it also depends on the size of the build you're talking. But fair sized builds like a personal castle are still playable, but like an entire city fully decorated is probably gonna tank it to 5fps or lower.

[dusk dome]

Yeah, I'll see if any other PC players have current experience 🙂

[limpid urchin]

in my experience it depends on how many things are around, i had a pretty big build before i yeeted it. only experienced some minor lag until the server got upgraded. one other friend has a solid build thats larger and theres no issues around lag

[remote eagle]

hungry pigs don't eat to breed

[subtle parrot]

Try moving the bar up a bit, sometimes it can block them if it's too low. Or try throwing the food a little closer if you can.

[remote eagle]

higher bar and closer food hungry pig, still not eat. did they make a change to this mechanic?

[subtle parrot]

Not any time recently afaik. I don't make these kinda things though, i just let the pigs do what they're gonna do on the ground. Was just going off what I've seen others say/do in here.

[remote eagle]

sounded reasonable! thanks anyway

[olive ocean]

that food is not even close to them in that pic, you need to throw it so it's right in front of them

[glad current]

There's another carrot just to Chocolate's left (above the E in tame)

[olive ocean]

i already saw it, but thank you

[remote eagle]

food distance was the issue, they make piggy now

[dark gorge]

how do you flatten the ground?

[subtle parrot]

You need to make a hoe, and a pickaxe will also be handy to have assuming you've beaten the first boss

[dark gorge]

thank you

[dark gorge]

is there any way around needing your bed near a fire? im a little confused, its not like I can put it in my house but the proximity has to be so close

[marble pagoda]

you can build a lil fireplace nearby or just on the other side of a wall

[stone gazelle]

Is there an easy way to host a dedicated server so i dont have to be online and my friend can play?

[crude kraken]

#dedicated-server

[sand flume]

my fire outside just went out because of a heavy rain :(
How can I place the campfire inside my house?

[frosty frost]

Either have high enough ceilings or you can make a fireplace with chimney 🙂

[sand flume]

will it not burn my house if I place it inside?

[frosty frost]

Not if you didnt enable "fire hazards" modifier 🙂

[sand flume]

idk xd
I try the higher ceiling 👍

[atomic jacinth]

alr guy you get 5 minutes

pick two mobs from opposing factions

ill spawn 500 of each

[frail cave]

how do you get haldors coins?

[drowsy crane]

Wraiths vs. Gjalls

[atomic jacinth]

bet

my pcs got this

[frosty frost]

You sell valuables that you find in dungeons and you can even find coins there, trolls also drop them

[frail cave]

oh i did it thanks XD i thought it was different i bought a megingjord

[atomic jacinth]

it went as well as you could imagine

[stiff jewel]

Hey, is all ashlands plants must be grown in ashland soil?

[tired root]

Ashvines can grow in other biomes too.

It requires to be planted next to a wall.

[worn barn]

@long geyser re: your treasure room - They might de-spawn after a while, but you can just chuck a few on the ground, make sure to turn off "auto-collect" when you visit.

[static quartz]

@sand flume I hope you got your question answered, but if not, what I do is remove a floor panel and put the fire on the ground inside the house, then build a chimney to keep the smoke in check. In a basic first house, I will place 2 or 3 fires almost overlapping. If you need ideas, hit me up in DM.

[sand flume]

hehe :P thats exactly what I did xD i just removed one floor

and at first i didnt get whats was meant by a "chimney" like how should I craft that noww, but its actualy just build a guide for the smoke to pass out the house i guess. well that will probably me solved in my next house xD for now it works

have right now i have a different question, how do I unlock the one crossbow for which you would use wooden bolts?
I guess my friend must've unlocked it whilst playing with him, but I'm playing solo rn and I dont know what to do for it.

[static quartz]

Have you gotten to the Mistlands biome yet?

[sand flume]

no, im in meadowns

[tired root]

In vanilla game you can craft crossbow during 6th biome.

[static quartz]

Yeah, it will be a bit before you can unlock it then.

[tired root]

There are some mods that add more weapon types for earlier biomes, they could be asked in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[sand flume]

ohh yeah okay that could be it right 👍 hes said we have some mods installed, but rn im playing solo vanilla
thanks guys!

[tired root]

I recommend playing the first playthrough without mods for the proper full experience.

[long geyser]

Yes, it would be better if it could be place with an item holder. I could use dev commands to generate rubies, pearls and amber... Anyways, it's just an old photo.

[merry vector]

there is a mod that would allow you to place them on an item stand and it would accomplish what you are wanting to do

[cloud peak]

Hello, Valheim is not running very well and I cannot discern why. It has been working very well until I turned it on today. even in the title screen it seems to lag, and it shows I have a higher fps than is true. it really feels like a slideshow. Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions

[humble ore]

Just finished my throne room and was wondering if there’s anything that looks like treasure or that would fit the aesthetic that i might have missed I’m trying to get a 100% on this bace and i feel like im missing something but i think i only have banners and the vile head peace left to get or maybe make one of each food for each biome

[wicked rapids]

Guys i need help, i am gonna die in the following second

[humble ore]

Haha I can hop in and help you recover

[wicked rapids]

Wait if a bear attack me when i am in full bear armor is it cannibalisme? 🙏 💀

[humble ore]

No it’s natural

[glad current]

It's a bear eat bear world out there

[wicked rapids]

And if my budy eat me when he is butt naked and i am in full bear armor 🙏 💀

[glad current]

Then that's a whole different show 🤣

[vernal meteor]

Ever since entering the plains biome, despite defeating bonemass and NOT Modor, we have deathsquitos spawn randomly on occasion at our home in the meadows by the sacrificial stones. Is this a bug? Because I dont know if they should be spawning at our camp. Note: these are not raid events

[atomic jacinth]

sorry thats me going around in dev mode

[smoky acorn]

It's easy for parts of your base to be far enough away from "home base" items like workbenches/fires and be eligible for creatures to spawn

[open coyote]

Is there a good connectivity troubleshooting guide? My friend isn't able to connect to a server on her new PC, which she could connect to on her old PC. I suspect router/windows firewall issue but not sure how to isolate that

[smoky acorn]

Connecting via loopback IP address, LAN IP address, external IP address, domain name, or Crossplay join code?

[open coyote]

Domain, to dedicated server

[smoky acorn]

That's a tough one. Lots can go wrong with a domain name. Has the server operator been keeping the domain name up to date with external IP address changes?

[open coyote]

Presumably, the rest of us can connect

[smoky acorn]

But everyone is using existing entry in recents/favorites I'm assuming? Happy to try to connect if you need a fresh attempt. Regardless, yes, firewall certainly worth checking. Also worth making sure she isn't using a VPN on this new machine, or new Internet Security suite software.

After checking those, next thing to check would be her Player.log. That will tell you what IP address she's getting for the domain when her OS makes the DNS request and could also tell you details about the failed connection attempt.

[merry vector]

if they are using bitdefender then you will need to Add the server exe and game exe to advanced threat exclusions.

[open coyote]

All right will do, thanks. I was looking around for a connectivity checker etc. I guess a generic one to validate ports are open?

[smoky acorn]

Only if the server is public and not using Crossplay.

In which case, this is helpful: https://geekstrom.de/valheim/check/

The nature of UDP makes it hard to test for an open port otherwise

[open coyote]

fascinating

[smoky acorn]

If you're sure this server is public and not using Crossplay, it's likely time to check in with the server operator or their DNS authority vendor to check up on things

[vernal meteor]

We dont have any player built structures in or near plains biomes, but for some reason deathsquitos sometimes spawn out of the blue at the starting meadows where we built our home. We have not yet unlocked plains raids.

[heady lagoon]

ohh noo

nah istg why are bears soo tankyyyyy!!!

[tired root]

They have more resistances, which makes them tankier than trolls. Try slash weapons against them instead of pierce/blunt.

[heady lagoon]

nah I kill em. I js use a level 2 wooden bucleter and a level 1 flint spear.. no armore... and some bad foods....

[tired root]

Flint axe is better option against them at that state.

[frail cave]

guys what do i do with fishes?

[remote tangle]

save one of each type somewhere safe
grill one of them
you'll use them for food starting in plains, and they're also used for some meads later on depending on the type

[frail cave]

how do i grill them or somethin

[remote tangle]

you need to slice it at the prep table once you have that

and then you put one of the bits of meat on the meat cooking thing above the fire

[frail cave]

OHH

prep table in teresting

[remote tangle]

yea

you'll make a lot of things there, baits too

[frail cave]

alright thankss

[remote tangle]

sure thing

[frail cave]

wait can you tame a bear?

[tired root]

No, even though they eat blueberries you throw to ground.

[keen heron]

just bought the game and ran around a bit 🙂

[keen heron]

is there a way to flatten ground btw?

[smoky thicket]

Use any pickaxe

[keen heron]

ah, haven't gotten that yet 🙂

[smoky thicket]

Do you want me to tell you how to get your first?

[keen heron]

i guess i'll figure it out, thank you!

[smoky thicket]

Ok 🙂 have fun I remember my first time playing

Just have fun exploring

[tired root]

Hoe is the first tool that is used to flatten ground.

[keen heron]

i also have put some boar on my fire and have no idea where it is or how to eat it 🙂

[smoky thicket]

You have to take it off the rack by interacting with it when the food is done. However if you leave it on for too long you get coal. When you have got the cooked meat you can click on it and you will eat it giving you stamina and hp buffs

[keen heron]

what is the best way to learn about the game? I apparently suck at house building 🙂

[smoky thicket]

You can either figure it out yourself or you can watch a spoiler free yt tutorial

[frail cave]

guys how do you kill a one star draugr? theyre so fast and i kinda suck at parying

[smoky thicket]

I kinda just figured it out myself with the help of my friend

[true steeple]

Parrying would be a good way, unless they’re doing too much damage. If they are, jumping over them to hit their backs is a safe way of dealing damage.

[tired root]

They should be parriable with bronze buckler and black forest tier HHS foods, but bronze atgeir secondary can stagger them quite easily too.

[true steeple]

You could also try a high stagger attack like mace or polearm secondary

[frail cave]

tried i dont know what im doing wrong but everytime i parry my hp gets destroyed

[frosty frost]

Or you can roll through the hits too 🙂

[frail cave]

i can parry like 1 to 2 attacks

hmm i might be bad at this

[true steeple]

Jumping gives more time to start an attack

[glad current]

I’ll tell you a secret: we all sucked starting out But the key is to keep at it! Watch some build vids on YT, expand and adapt. You’ll see vast improvement!

[wicked rapids]

🤓 👍
Fishing

[wicked rapids]

Jumping like that at the start will cook your stamina

[marble roost]

Based on you asking how to find surtling cores earlier I assume you are in too weak gear for the swamp. Some mobs attacks, like a 1 star draugr, may be too strong for you to be able to parry, or might do a lot of damage when you parry if you're using something like a wooden shield

[true steeple]

It doesn’t cost that much

[marble roost]

Also eating good food is important. I personally recommend eating two health focused foods and one stamina focused food

[true steeple]

Parrying used to cost more

[frail cave]

erm i think that was not me i wasnt finding surtling cores i already have a lot

my gear is bear + bronze helm +3 qual

[marble roost]

maybe I mixed you up with someone

[wicked rapids]

Its called a perfect parry. Parry half a sec befor you get hit

[frail cave]

i just kinda suck at parrying, also im kinda doing it now its just hard to fight vs multiple dragur

[wicked rapids]

Its 10

Cost 10

[frosty frost]

-# You are thinking of perfect block, which is parry 😄

[true steeple]

There is no perfect parry, you either parry or you don't.

[ruby oar]

parry success also depends on how much max health you have, it's just a stronger block that staggers the enemy

[true steeple]

also the window is .25 seconds

[marble roost]

Just takes practice. Alternatively, battleaxe, atgeir, or mace is very nice with their secondaries to stagger enemies without needing to parry, as Blob mentioned

[ruby oar]

blocking/parrying still lets stagger buildup through the shield, and if your stagger bar (which's size depends on your max health) maxes out, you get staggered and i believe take full damage? not clear on the specifics anymore, H&H made it pretty complicated 😅

[frail cave]

okay atgeir might be better but it doesnt stagger the one star dragurs as much on my first try

only normal dragurs

[true steeple]

If the damage between applying block armor and applying character damage modifiers is enough to stagger you, the block fails

blocking damage modifiers are before block armor

[marble roost]

I'm still confused how you can manage to do a successful parry AND get staggered

[ruby oar]

point is, if you time it right but the numbers aren't sufficient, you fail either way

[wicked rapids]

Oh yeah my first langue is french so when i play with my friend and is lil bro parry is just block

[frail cave]

oh so thats why i get staggered when trying to parry one star dragur

[glad coyote]

its hard to parry those

[true steeple]

The damage is applied as stagger a second time after character armor, and that can stagger you without failing the block

[glad coyote]

you need tons of health and stamina

[true steeple]

Parrying has always had a set stamina cost, but it's 0 now

[frosty frost]

No worries at all 😄 many of us are not native english speakers either, i was just trying to clear up the terminology.

[wicked rapids]

Yeah and thank you for the clear up👋

[marble roost]

wait so you take stagger based on the full amount that makes it through block armor, then stagger based on the full amount that actually does damage?

[stiff jewel]

it's just me or i lag more than usual when i'm in ashlands?

[frosty frost]

They are quite instance heavy, so yeah, they lag bit more

[true steeple]

That's right

[ruby oar]

likely, they went pretty crazy with fancy shader effects and particles too

[stiff jewel]

Yeah, you got point. please don't make arctic area even more laggier lol

[frail cave]

guys what armor should i get on swamp?

[ruby oar]

at least the teasers we got so far look pretty calm visually, but who knows how that may change haha

[frail cave]

easy to get but also good kinda like the troll

[stiff jewel]

That's true

[stiff jewel]

iron armor?

[frail cave]

i see

[stiff jewel]

there's another armor but it's made from annoying creature

[frail cave]

root armor? for archers

[ruby oar]

i always skip iron armor, such a high demand resource. made easier by the existence of root armor

[stiff jewel]

i have no knowledge about root atmor but what it's called and what's made from. XD

[ruby oar]

and i don't use bows, it's the pierce resistance and built-in poison res that i like it for
-# and the lower cost, and the lower movement speed reduction

[frail cave]

wait the root amor has poison imm?

[frosty frost]

Resistance

[ruby oar]

worth noting that it's only 50%, unlike the mead's 75%

[stiff jewel]

i don't think, abomination is rare now if i remember correctly

[ruby oar]

and they don't stack, so root mask + poison res mead is still just 75%

[stiff jewel]

i feel like it's used to be fucking everywhere that blocks my path

[ruby oar]

common enough if you know what to look out for, and certainly less repetitive than sitting around black and green corridors holding leftclick for hours

[stiff jewel]

speaking back in 2022-2024 ish, just head up.

[frail cave]

welp i guess root armor it is for now

[stiff jewel]

did abomination got rarer than old time (2022-2024)? or i'm unlucky with it back in old world?

[ruby oar]

there was an adjustment to spawn rules (can't remember the specifics of it) shortly after the update that added them, but i don't remember having trouble getting root armor before or after that change

[stiff jewel]

i still never found abomination yet.....

[ruby oar]

then again, i am very patient

[stiff jewel]

but my friend got few of it lol

[ruby oar]

never? that's wild

[frail cave]

wait when is silver age?

[ruby oar]

after swamps

mountains

[frail cave]

oh after bone mass?

[ruby oar]

yea

[stiff jewel]

when you found first silver vein

[frail cave]

understandable

[stiff jewel]

but yeah after swamp is it

i feel like i'm fucking moving tank now

[frail cave]

ive found abom twice but not a crypt for iron

[stiff jewel]

is that small swamp or huge one?

[frail cave]

also i forgot you cant take ores to portal so i just have to horde them for now and get a boat

[frail cave]

idk ive only been finding small swamps

[stiff jewel]

you know there's modifier to disable it if i remember correctly

[frail cave]

hmm if there is then i might do it just to save time

[stiff jewel]

lemme check wiki

[ruby oar]

as for current spawn rules on abominations: each full swamp chunk (chunks are 64x64 meters) has a 35% chance to attempt to spawn an abomination, with a 66 min, 40 sec cooldown, aboms won't spawn closer than 30 meters to a player, between -2 and 5 meters above sea level, and a limit of 1 abomination per chunk at a time.
seems about how i remember it - give a swamp a good combing, then leave it be for 2 in-game days before repeating (spawn attempt cooldowns are affected by sleep time skipping)

[frail cave]

since im only playing single player moving ores through portal would help alot

[frosty frost]

You can enable it before you start your world in world modifiers.
That is anytime before you start the world, not only the first time 🙂

[glad current]

The world modifiers can be changed at any point

[stiff jewel]

Found it, yeah there's portal settings where you adjust portal or allow bringing metals into portal

[frosty frost]

That is what i said, yep 😄

[frail cave]

okay thanks i found it i will turn it on since i only play by myself for now anyways

[glad current]

Oh totally! Must’ve been the wind

[frosty frost]

Exploration is fun, why spoil it?

[frail cave]

im gonna pass on that i like the idea of using boats and carts for transfering ore but its time consuming so imma use portals

[stiff jewel]

Oh sorry, i forgot i'm completely immune to spoiler XD

becuase i don't care about spoiler at all

[frail cave]

but using that is not what i want cause i like exploring

i can still use boats for extra storage anyways

[stiff jewel]

Alright.

i got to check smelters in a bit

[frail cave]

i think ill start using boats for transfering iron and other ores once i get the big boy

just to still experience the fun of hauling ores

[stiff jewel]

i will do another iron mining trip, be right back. (also final biome's metal too)

funny that when i mine alots ore and i feel it's enough..... then all of ore is quickly used up for simply making armor and weapon and upgrades. just like terraria.

veinberries require to be placed next to wall for farming?

[steep tusk]

Yes, they have to grow up the side.

[stiff jewel]

KK, because it's my main objective after short upgrading session

also, i can't decide which nidhogg or mistwalker is better for charred enemies.

[frosty frost]

Silver sword 😄

[stiff jewel]

yeah, highest spirit damage.... but it still feel very weird for bringing mountain sword into ashlands

[true steeple]

it does more damage than mistwalker against charred and valkyries for 33% less stamina too

[stiff jewel]

then nidhogg is only for non-demonic enemies?

[true steeple]

yes, or if you want to use gemstones

[stiff jewel]

like bloodstone

[true steeple]

bloodstone, jade and iolite

[stiff jewel]

kk

wait, isn't spirit damage hurts enemies over time, not all in single hit?

[steep tusk]

Spirit damage hurts very specific enemies over time, and the dot stacks.
Extreme majority of enemies are immune to it.

[stiff jewel]

well... i like my mistwalker a lots.

secondly, it's really expensive to make it because i lost fully upgraded silver sword to corrupted old server we made year ago.

[true steeple]

it ticks twice as fast as fire too

[wicked rapids]

You fish them like hello

[stiff jewel]

Hey y'all, ashlands is most agressive biome out of seven, like not much time after we landed and made ash 2 and ash3, we already got like 290 charred bones.

RIGHT??

[marble roost]

Silver sword is very nice. I prefer lightning nidhog when I can get it tho.

It’s a nice quality of life not having to deal with silver swords damage over time and nonexistent stagger

[marble roost]

Not sure what an ash 2 or ash 3 is

[stiff jewel]

oh, sorry i forgot to mention. they're small outpost in two different ashlands island.

(first ash outpost is actually made in giant spike thing on ocean, prior queen defeat.)

[coarse vale]

any1 wanna play with me?

[glad current]

Check #1024264966712340510

[open coyote]

(continuing this connectivity troubleshootnig therad) Anyone know what https://geekstrom.de/valheim/check/ checks? It's failing, but the server isn't public so does that mean this test is irrelevant? One of our players can't connect to our server, but all others can. It's almost certainly something client side on this person's new PC but I wanted to rule out something in the middle, as that above test is saying it's not reachable. Maybe it's taking a network path or connection strategy that my friend is

[merry vector]

are they using Bitdefender?

[next canyon]

Spirit very strong simply because among the enemies it does hurt are two bosses and the near entirety of the current strongest biome XD

[glad current]

New idea 💡 Deep North critters are all spiritual in nature and the spirit damage actually heals them 😛

[frosty frost]

3 bosses 😄
-# Eikthyr does take spirit too, tho you usually dont wait to have spirit weapons to fight him ofc xD

[frosty frost]

That is an interesting idea, tho by the looks of the ones we know already they dont seem really spiritually inclined xD

[glad current]

Depends on the spirit

[tired root]

What if ||elakings|| are some kind of poltergeists?

[frosty frost]

They seem a bit too solid for that

[sand flume]

is the color difference in the wood here normal or it is because the campfire is to close to it and that the wood might break soon?

[ruby oar]

it's been damaged (presumably by rain, floors don't shield wood from rain) the campfire doesn't damage it

rain damage doesn't go below 50% either so it's not gonna break on its own

[sand flume]

okay 👍

[marble roost]

Counter argument: Slash does damage to 7 bosses and all the creatures from 8 biomes, including the current strongest biome

Spirit and poison are pretty weak elements, but spirit does do well in the right circumstances. It’s just limited that those circumstances come up whereas fire/frost/lightning is useful practically everywhere

[subtle parrot]

||All the new mobs are just drunk off spirits all the time because it's so cold that if they were to stop drinking spirits they would end up like the frozen creatures||

[winter hearth]

is it feasible to build a base without taking advantage of terrain walls or will it just get destroyed?

[ruby oar]

i never use terrain walls, enemies prioritize players and tamed animals over buildings as long as they're close enough (not usually related to proximity, but invasion enemies are always aware of your presence as long as you're within a certain radius of them), so if you run out there, the base is usually pretty safe

should specify: run out there and fight haha, i'm not suggesting to just run off into the sunset, that'd just pause the invasion

[frosty frost]

-# Running around in the red circle you see on the map during raid however... That can work

[tired root]

Moat. 🕶️

[winter hearth]

dont mobs swim?

[winter hearth]

lol

[tired root]

When terrain is steep enough they cannot climb it.

[winter hearth]

gotcha. but doesnt altering the terrain too much cause lag?

[tired root]

Not significantly IIRC. Used to, but nowadays it's more optimized.

[ruby oar]

the impact is effectively nothing now afaik

[winter hearth]

oh thats awesome to hear

[stiff jewel]

what.... i'm sooo confused that i walked in lava wihout getting hurt, but as i walked futher, i died.
