any terraforming 'will' increase your instance count. Just keep an eye on your instance count, it will increase.

[winter hearth]

how do i view the instance count?

[merry vector]

F2 in the game will bring up a menu .. you will see your instance count in that menu

[winter hearth]

ill assume there is no way to do that if you're on console lol

[true steeple]

Those instances are the visual and sound effects which are destroyed after a short time. Modifying terrain doesn't leavy any permanent instances.

[true steeple]

There is a button combination but I can't remember it

[merry vector]

Yeah they do. Go to a any piece of land. Do nothing but dig it down and clear it flat. Your instance count rises and never shrinks, thus making it permanent

[true steeple]

I'm digging now and it's not going above 1600

timescale 5 for faster digging too

[stiff jewel]

digging for what?

[ruby oar]

digging for bad performance, a rare mineral

[true steeple]

to not create permanent instances

[winter hearth]

lol

[deep pebble]

me and my friend have a world going, were on yagluth and were using the valheim seed viewer to find him. But weeve been to 3 locations and hes not there, we went on a test world and the boss location was there, any reasons why and how we can fix/get around it?

[frosty frost]

How old is your world? 🙂

[deep pebble]

4-5months

[frosty frost]

Then it was before Call to Arms update. Bigger updates like CtA can move POIs around, so if you want accurate map in the seed viewer you need to input the world files there 🙂

[deep pebble]

how would i do that?

[frosty frost]

There should be guide in the site 🤔

[deep pebble]

ok ill have a look thanks

[frosty frost]

Here 🙂

[somber cloak]

hello there, i just killed the elder and i'm heading to the swamp. i'd be happy to have some help to set a base there.

[shell berry]

i am hosting a server with 2 of my friends, and i see that it says we have used 6.4/35.8 MB. is there a limit to how big our world can be? It is not saved on the cloud, it is saved locally and it is not a dedicated server

[compact heath]

I’m not sure what the file size refers to maybe it’s the smaller one of the 2 but there is no limit you can do what you want, but if you play a world with 10 players constantly for 2 years or so and build a lot everywhere it might get laggy

[compact heath]

Can’t help rn because Christmas but I recommend you enter swamp from a nearby meadows or Black Forest area and drop a portal nearby in case of emergency haha

[vale sierra]

Hi, I forgot how to craft the rake so that I can plant things, anybody got an idea?

I can't seem to find it either the workbench or forge

[warm wren]

i cant get rid of my workbench and the floors beneath it? any way to fix?

[olive ocean]

cultivator is in the plain forge

[olive ocean]

keep the bench for the very last

[tired root]

You need bronze and corewood to craft the cultivator.

[vale sierra]

Thanks man, I totally forgot about corewood, I haven't even gotten any yet and Im at swamp 😅

[open coyote]

does "pre exploring" a swamp that was a valid bog witch location before defeating the elder invalidate that spot? or will she just suddenly appear there in a place we already checked, after the elder is killed?

[tired root]

Was the world made before any update?

[open coyote]

No, new world this week

[tired root]

Each trader has 10 possible spawn points across the world, reaching any of them will spawn them there and close others permanently for that trader. Locations in your world/seed can be checked in world generator website.

You can find them in any state of progression, none of them are locked behind any boss, although their wares can expand after defeating certain bosses.

[merry elbow]

Does anyone know what the problem is?

[frosty frost]

Put it on the fire the long way 🙂

It can work even in this orientation but the placement has to be kinda precise

[merry elbow]

Ohh, thank you brother!

[open coyote]

The wiki says that the swamp witch only shows up after the elder is defeated. So does she terraform the area that I already explored and poof into existence upon elder death?

[tired root]

Can you link the wiki page where you read that? Finding traders has never been locked behind beating bosses first.

Maybe it mentioned the first spice for first feasts appearing into her wares after defeating Elder, but she should be found normally even without any bosses defeated.

[open coyote]

Ah I was looking at the feast page and thought it was talking about the witch not spawning at all - yeah

[tired root]

Okay, I checked the Bog Witch wiki page and it didn't mention anything requiring defeating Elder so she could be found.

I repeat: finding traders won't require defeating bosses.

[harsh moth]

does anyone know how to attach the horse to the horse cart with odin horse mod

[tired root]

No need to post same question in more than one channel, you were directed to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 in other channel where you asked.

[glad current]

Bring the horse between the hitching arms of the cart, click E to Use Cart, and it should attach automatically. Then you can either ride the horse where you want to go or have it Follow you.

[warm shore]

anyone know why when my friend and i try to play on an xbox server it just always disconnects him after like 15 seconds?

have went down the NAT type rabbit hole and restarting servers… but it seems to just be an issue on his side but we also never have issues like this with other games

[open coyote]

Hunting for vile trophy... is there any way to influence them spawning, or are there strategies for searching? Like for example is it better to kill everything as I run through, or just run past, perhaps due to spawn limits / max large creature in a radius, etc.?

[subtle parrot]

Hunt at night time, just keep running until you find one, mark them on the map and go back to those general marked areas to hunt over again. It's not guaranteed that there will always be one there, but it felt a little better than just running around randomly searching for them. It could be a worse strategy though.

[warm wren]

how do i mine under copper? cant seem to dig lower

[tight yarrow]

Is there a channel for helping get my body back in plains?

[marble roost]

Often cant. It needs to be sticking out of the ground quite a bit

You can only dig up to 8m down I believe (relative to where the terrain started out at)

[marble roost]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

[warm wren]

oh so i should start digging at the lowest point nearby then towards the copper?

[marble roost]

Won’t really help no

Because once you dig your way over to the high point, it will still only go 8m down from the high point

Just mine the copper directly

Mining under ore is something you can save for the mountains

[merry vector]

You can only go 8m down (as stated by soft), if the top terrain rises, the bottom rises, at that lowest point you just dig through the copper until you reach the other side. There will come a point when the whole node will be unearthed and then you can pop the remainder from the top

[ornate finch]

On which platforms is your friend, who is disconnecting, playing on?

[humble ore]

Yo so i just swam all the way to the deep north and it’s a mountain?

[tired root]

There are mountain biome areas in higher elevation currently.

[sturdy folio]

The current Deep North biome you ventured into is just a placeholder at this point in time

[humble ore]

Can I fish off the shore or do I have to go out deeper

[sturdy folio]

it's being revamped 😛

[humble ore]

In the deep north I mean

And tbh I was kinda just expecting a flat scape I’m kinda surprised it’s generating mountains

[sturdy folio]

That's just a placeholder for now

Deep North is the current biome being developed and will release with version 1.0

[tired root]

Fish can be fished there, should be close on border at least.

[humble ore]

Sick and are there multiple levels of terra fish

Tetra*

[tired root]

Tetra fish is found only in mountain caves with water inside. But Deep North has its own fish: Northern Salmon.

[humble ore]

I know I only have caught the basic ones. I was just making sure that there wasn’t more.

For tetra I mean

[tired root]

Tetra fish can spawn with higher quality like other fish but still only in frost caves.

No other special than that.

[cloud otter]

Tetra tend to get beached I find if you're just looking to get a tetra

[oblique veldt]

Hi guys, i just wanted to ask whether its possible to start server hosting through some provide ie host havoc etc with a server i already created where i play with my friend and my pc always has to be on in order to play. Can i somehow copy my progress to a new server through server hosting?

[compact heath]

Short answer yes, you need fwl and db file from your pc local save

[oblique veldt]

Awesome, thanks a lot.

[compact heath]

The host provider may tell you how exactly to transfer the files often you can’t just copy paste it you will need to use a FTP program for it to copy over probably there is free ones

[marble roost]

Might wanna be careful exploring if you want to play that world when deep north comes out. The explored areas won’t update

[zinc lark]

guys whats gonna happen when i already have a progressed world in valheim (vanilla) but then i log on to the same world WITH mods, will everything in that progressed world return to zero or can it continue like usual? (multiplayer)

[marble roost]

Should keep your progress and just add mods on to the existing world. Probably depends a bit on the mod though, and there's no guarantees as mods aren't part of the core game and are often buggy

In any case you should make backups

[zinc lark]

alright thanks

[humble ore]

Yo just use the steam dedicated server

[humble ore]

I already know i built a special world for the drop of 1.0

[oblique veldt]

A steam dedicated server? How do i do it?

[humble ore]

Go to your steam library up in the top left corner. You should be able to choose what shows in the sidebar just make sure that tools are active and the one you are looking to download is valheim dedicated server

You’ll just have to go into the file and change a couple of things you can look up a YouTube video easy

Once it’s set up you just have to run the application and it launches the world

[oblique veldt]

Wow awesome, thanks a lot i didnt know

[humble ore]

Ya definitely it’s how I’m running mine and as far as I can tell you can run a personal world as an open server in game and have that running out of game

And it just runs off of one of your world safe files so if there’s not one named that it creates one but the one that it creates is gonna be in your worlds on the game and you can put custom modifiers on it from that menu just re-launch it after you change anything

[oblique veldt]

Oh damn

Thats real nice imma try later tonight

[oblique veldt]

Oh but my computer has to be on at all times right?

[stiff jewel]

why is ashvine produce vineberries at very slow rate, much slower than other corps?

[faint osprey]

probably because they dont need to be replanted

[alpine geode]

Hey is the troll staff bugged? Often get the message that I can't spawn another one even if my troll just died.

[thorn spire]

Do you play with others? The limit applies to all players combined.

[tired root]

Note that if you try to summon new while there is already limit full the old one won't die out to make room for new one. And IIRC they don't despawn/die even if you leave the area, meaning they need to be killed to make room for new ones.

[alpine geode]

No I didn't

[alpine geode]

Yeah I get that but my old one died

[open coyote]

hmm, how could i have gotten 1shot by a 0 star dvergir frost mage from 140 hp and a frost resist potion and about 50 armor?

oh... frost resist had JUST run out

[tired root]

Just in case: frost mead and frost resistance from equipment don't stack.

But the frost mages just deal that much damage.

[open coyote]

Nova should only be 100 damage, and frost resist mead would take that to 25% base, but what happened is I was wet and my mead ran out so that it was 200 base instead

[marble roost]

Hmm doesnt sound right

Frost resist mead is 50%, so should have brought it to 50 damage (before armor) if it was still active

But since it wasn’t and you were wet, wet gives +50% frost damage taken bringing it to 150 before armor. With armor though it should have done 100 damage or less tho so may be misremembering or have gotten hit by something else

Or playing on higher difficulty

[open coyote]

Cloaks give resistant which is -50%, frost mead gives VERY resistant which is -75%

177 damage taken while wet, with 48 armor

[marble roost]

Pretty sure the only thing giving players Very Resistant is poison mead

Everything else is slightly resistant or resistant

Seems odd yeah. My only explanations would be the world being on hard/vhard or mods messing stuff up

[open coyote]

Oh does the gear vs potion thing not hold true for cold as well? So potions do nothing once you have one of the gear pieces?

Maybe the wiki is out of date and the ice mage nova doesn't do only 100 damage

[marble roost]

Yeah it’s just poison mead thats better

Fire and frost isn’t

[open coyote]

Even wet being very weak wouldn't explain 177 damage

[marble roost]

Maybe. It’s known to be wrong once in a while

[open coyote]

Server is set to default so it shouldn't be that though

[frosty frost]

If the dmg didnt have any randomness to it it should give 150 dmg (if base is 100) when wet (and without mead or cape)
And since the dmg values do have some range in reality 177 is not that weird 🙂

[open coyote]

177 after 48 armor though?

I mean, I guess we can explain anything with "there is range"

[marble roost]

from my understanding of something Blob (I think it was Blobcicle) said, the base 100 is the max damage, and from there there is a -15% randomness? Only downwards though

So 85 to 100 damage

[open coyote]

177+48 is 225, which is 1.5 x 150. Maybe frost nova damage is 150 not 100

[frosty frost]

Disregarded armor 😄 my bad

[tired root]

Blobcicle.

[true steeple]

Player damage variance is calculated differently, on a player it's down to 85% at max skill level.

For all other characters, it can go down to 86.6% (this looks a bit random, it's calculated from 0.75 ^ 0.5)

-# also please just call me Blob in future

[humble ore]

Ya the program has to run to have it open

Yo to anyone who celebrates merry Christmas everyone

[cedar dragon]

hello
so i wanna play valhiem moddded with my friend tho whenever i lunch the game thru r2modman the game lunch normally and theres no modes even tho im pressing on lunch modded and i just have no clue

[tired root]

People in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might grant further help for your question.

[cedar dragon]

thank you

[wispy dew]

@tired root keeps collapsing its driving me crazy

[tired root]

You seem to have some wooden poles under that spot. Have you tried corewood?

-# Quite dark picture.

[wispy dew]

i fixed it but noiw made the build a bit ugly

[cursive dragon]

You could also do iron beams or a stone wall for the base of it to give it a little more structure height availability

[humble ore]

Or even use core wood it’s stronger build cross beams even if it’s straight across

The more intersections you have the more stable the structure so like in my build, I can go 10 beams higher if I bracket the top eight layers

It has metal beams going all the way up, but if you connect them together, it makes it stronger overall so if I went through and I did cross beams going from beam to beam all the way up, I’d be able to do 10 to 14 more layers it would basically be as far as the game will physically allow me to build

The cool thing is if you go through and you do a mega build where you reach like a really tall building or whatever if you watch where the shadow goes, you can use the building as your clock so I have a pen with a deer in it and when the tower shadow engulfs the deer I can sleep to skip the day 😂

[vital stone]

Can someone help me with fader?

I’ve been trying for hours and I can’t get him below 75% hp

[marble roost]

Cant hop on right now, but what gear are you using?

Hes a loooot easier with magic, likr staff of frost or Embers

[vital stone]

I made a niddhogg and did a lot more damage, i finally killed the thing

[marble roost]

Nice!

[humble ore]

Congrats sorry i took a nap or i would have helped

[pure mango]

Ah yes the staircase to the Weatherspoons toilets

[noble tapir]

how do i turn off crossplay on the dedicated server?

[frosty frost]

No idea, folks in #dedicated-server might know tho 😄

[noble tapir]

thanks, sorry for the tag, i'm trying to figure this out... i can't seem to open my ports for the game, and removing -crossplay locks the server 🙁

[frosty frost]

That sucks, I never messed with dedicated servers so i sadly can't help you

[noble tapir]

my router is setup with forwarding for 2456 and 2457 - but it still shows the port closed, but my minecraft port is still open

all good, thank you for replying!

[warm wren]

how rare are 1 star boars? day 70 still havent seen one been checking everyday

[tired root]

10% chance to spawn with stars (1% chance to spawn with 2 stars, so effectively 9% chance to spawn with just 1 star). Also they spawn with stars as random over 800m from center of the world, although spawns at boar runestones or some ruined villages doesn't have that limit.

TL;DR: you'll encounter starred boars more likely the further you go from center.

[warm wren]

how do ik how far i am from the centre?

also my base is near the boar rune stone but i still havent seen one

[tired root]

You don't as the game doesn't show coordinates (except with console commands), but the radius from center to edge is 10500m, so you can make educated estimates with markers on your map.

[tired root]

Also note that boar runestones only spawn the boars near them once, which can spawn with stars even inside the 800m limit. Random spawns require being spawned over 800m tho.

[warm wren]

im assuming im not 800m away then

[glad current]

It seems like in the time it's taken to hunt down a starred boar, you could have bred quite a large herd of normal boars.

[warm wren]

i thought u need a 1 star boar to breed?

[glad current]

No, any of them will breed, you just need two of them

Starred boar just give more resources when slaughtered.

[tired root]

And have more HP and deal more damage.

[warm wren]

o

[tired root]

Starred ones are not required for taming and breeding them.

[warm wren]

is there a certain distance before they despawn

if i wanna bring a 1 star one over

[tired root]

Boars don't despawn.

Only mobs that despawn are those that spawn during night.

Or more precisely: those with requirement to spawn during night only.

[humble ore]

[open coyote]

For people who mess around in the mist lands before/without the light, how do you go about finding the dungeons? Do you just boat around and run around the non misted parts hoping to spot them? Are there tips for identifying their form or other signs one is nearby?

[clever juniper]

there are 2 different types so my strategy varies. there are ones near the water and have large steps leading up to them, those you can often find by just sailing and seeing the light through the mist. The other is given away by the seekers guarding them. If you are attacked during the day by more than 2 seekers, they likely came from an infested mine/dig site. So when I get attacked by 4+ seekers at once, I just remember which direction they came from and look around in that direction

[open coyote]

I see, right

[frosty frost]

The ones with stairs have also a distinct rock formation above the enterence, 3 rock spires.
-# +As Okama said they have a dvergr light near enterence 🙂

[clever juniper]

also if you get frustrated and this is your 12th playthrough and tired of running blind, you can always cheat and put your map seed in the map generator

[open coyote]

It is indeed but it's dedicated server that isn't mine

[open coyote]

What's up with the gjall noises inside the mistlands dungeon? Is it just a background sound effect?

[frosty frost]

That doesent really matter from possibility standpoint 😄
However if you mean that you dont want to out of consideration for others playing on the server then i totally understand 🙂

[open coyote]

Really? I thought the seed wasn't exposed to clients

[frosty frost]

It is accessible through command you can use even as normal user, you dont have to be owner nor admin to use it 🙂

[open coyote]

Oof geez

[tired root]

Gjall shouldn't be able to spawn that high (as dungeons are really high in reality). It might be ||The Queen||, which means the ||boss area|| can be nearby.

[open coyote]

Ah, it is the latter

[tired root]

Once you've cleared the current mine, check nearby areas for the ||boss location||. You'll recognize it as it's different to other locations.

[marble roost]

The same as if I do have the light (imo the wisp light doesn't reveal very much). Just look for blue lights, stairs, ruins or listen/look for groups of seekers.

Can also identify the dungeons that are set into rockwalls based on the rockwall they're set into. Those spires always look identical, but that's more difficult to spot unless you're used to it

[humble ore]

Yo the food cost to grow your blood magic is crazy is there a better way

[clever juniper]

how are you training your blood magic and have you made it to the mistlands?

[tough hare]

Can train it by casting a bubble over you, then have a week opponent (like a greydwarf or boar) smash it.
Summoning skellies work too.

If you happen to have found the old arena which was added in the Call to Arms update, the skellies in that spot makes great training partners.
Just make sure you equip a shield as extra protection.

[drowsy crane]

I've never felt the need to train it, it's already so good

[frosty frost]

Bubble is very very slow way to do it, since you get xp only when it breaks and that on you specifically. When it breaks on your allies it gives xp to them instead. So skellies are the better option of these two ways 🙂

[humble ore]

Ya true but with the new trinket that gives you +25 on magic it really shows what 20 levels can do so I was just growing my magic to see what’s the best way to upgrade elemental and I’m doing the skeletons

[humble ore]

Sorry, part of the message was for you. What would be the best way to upgrade the elemental

[frosty frost]

Usual strategy is to trap golem in a pit and fire frost staff at it

[humble ore]

Like stone one or

[frosty frost]

Yep, no other golems in game 😄

[humble ore]

Haha just making sure and that actually sounds fun do they de spawn

[frosty frost]

Nope they do not 🙂

[humble ore]

Sick so I can trap one and cage the top can they be harpooned?

[frosty frost]

They should be able to be harpooned, never tried it myself tho

I usually just parry+push them in a hole if i need to

[humble ore]

I was just thinking I have one close to spawn can they be moved like that

[marble pagoda]

yeah you can just harpoon em into a pit
ez af
blood magic considerably harder, one way is to select all archer skellies and let em loose on a spawner overnight

[tired root]

T.W.I.G also is good opponent.

[humble ore]

Won’t it kill it though

[tired root]

It has huge regen. And can be rebuilt if it breaks.

[sage sorrel]

Need help keep dying in swamp. can somone escort me? XD

[tired root]

What keeps you dying? What are your equipment, foods, utilities? Do you have rested buff?

[rough bronze]

Trying to a build a dock a singular piece refuses to be stable any tips?

[frosty frost]

It doesent matter muich if it isnt green 😄 it will not degrade because of that. You just can build as far from it as you could from piece with more stability.

[rough bronze]

Thank you i was getting kinda confused the rest of its green its just that singular piece.

[frosty frost]

Yeah dont worry too much 😄
Even if it was read it will not break on its own or anything

[rough bronze]

Sweet back to building i go. Love this game.

[frosty frost]

As do most of us enjoy!

[heady lagoon]

Is rockey out?

Iv never found him...

[frosty frost]

He has been in game since April 1st 2025 😄

[sage sorrel]

I keep dying when I go to the Swamp biome. I get attacked by flying insects and small green enemies, and I don’t survive very long.

I’ve gone back to my main base several times to craft better weapons and armor, but I still struggle a lot in the swamp.

What gear, food, weapons, or tactics do you recommend before exploring the swamp?
Any beginner-friendly tips would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

[frosty frost]

If this is the case then you have plains biome very close to your swamp, the flying insects and small green guys are not swamp tier enemies but plains tier enemies, that is 2 biomes futher than you are right now. So i would suggest exploring more inland parts of the swamp so you are not that close to their border or finding new swamp that doesent have plains next to them 🙂

[tired root]

Swamp has no flying insects or other green enemies than blobs (and draugr), you very likely are very close to plains which is 5th biome and home for those enemies you described.

[sage sorrel]

Would you leave all your gear behind, like bronze equipment, etc.

[frosty frost]

No, i would try to retrieve that if at all possible 🙂

[tired root]

Swamp itself should be fairly approachable with any black forest tier equipment (bronze/troll/bear armor), weapons and foods like carrot soup, bear meat, deer stew, minced meat sauce, queen's jam etc. Plus poison resistance mead.

[sage sorrel]

In my attempt to get my gear back, I’m afraid I’ve wasted all my bronze and iron. I even have anti-poison items at one of my graves

[tired root]

You could try lure the harder enemies to swamp mobs to retrieve your gravestone. Insect enemies can be oneshotted with almost any weapon.

[frosty frost]

If worse comes to worst i can try to hop on and help you retrieve the stuff 🙂

[sage sorrel]

I’m right on the border between the two biomes. It’s probably just me feeling bad about leaving all my good gear behind, but I’m new to the game, so you might think I’m being silly haha.,

[frosty frost]

Oh not at all 😄 most of us experienced something similar at least once or twice.

[sage sorrel]

So if anyone is bored, they’re welcome join and to laugh at a naked man desperately fighting to bring his three swords back home. 😄

[tired root]

First time to swamp for me ended up... having Karve and 3 rafts at same location.

[frosty frost]

Iirc something quite similar happened to me xD

[sage sorrel]

I’ll try a bit more tomorrow, but otherwise it would be great to get some help . just to bring my gear over to the temporary base I’ve built nearby.

[frosty frost]

If you need help with that you can ping me here or DM me 🙂
I will be glad to help if i have some free time

[marble roost]

That second question feels like an odd question to ask someone who's training blood magic

[marble roost]

If you don't want to risk losing the rest of your limited supplies, I'd recommend setting up a portal nearby where you died (just so you don't have to run/sail far to get back) and try running in naked and see if you can grab the gear and get out. Not as much stuff at risk if you do that and you can try again and again with a portal nearby

But if its in a reallyyyy bad spot it can be rough

[clever juniper]

I meant to ask if they made it past the mist lands which would open up more food options and upgrades

[frosty umbra]

I think i killed the electric deer too soon and now I am having a hard time surviving. killed it before day 30

now the clubby greydorf and the poison greydorf kill me like instantly, had to build a moat to save my pigs from dying every other day. finally found the copper area and there's trolls and clubbies and poinsonies.

anyways bc of this, I'm not able to find tin or any other things i need to advance the game.

[marble roost]

Day 30 shouldn't be too soon

[marble roost]

The only big thing killing the deer does is that greydwarves will a rare once in a while raid your base (it will pop up with yellow text saying "The forest is moving")

Other than that, any enemies you run into just randomly spawn in the black forest biome

[subtle parrot]

Don't go out at night if you can help it, tin can be found near streams and beaches in the black forest.

[tacit breach]

Tin are really shiny normal sized rocks along coastal water and water ways that go out to the ocean. Collect blueberries too, as well as the flowers.

Thistle and mushrooms too. You will need decent numbers of those. Plus I hope your using shields to either parry or block.

Also level up your workbench.

You also need to find tombs. Those can be deadly too. Shields are a must have. Also try out different weapons, especially flint versions.

[tacit breach]

The tombs have something in them critical to game advancement.

[tender sentinel]

hey

i want to instal mod on valheim but i dont know how to do can someone help me please ? (sorry for my english)

[tired root]

||Wisplights|| and ||Dvergr lanterns|| that require progressing ||Mistlands||.

[marble roost]

Additionally, the dvergr circlet (purchasable from Haldor) when placed on an item stand

[tired root]

Well yes, but actually yes.
Also some other items emite light like Surtling/Brenna trophies, swamp keys, fuling totems etc.

[median hound]

Ah thanks. I’m really struggling to make my base bright at night.

I’ve not unlocked much though tbh, so I’m tempted to use devcommands just to spawn in some light items.

[drowsy crane]

That's the thing with night, it's dark 😅

[median hound]

True that. Hence looking for lights. 🙂

[drowsy crane]

You can't find them?

[median hound]

Ok, bright, very bright light sources. 🙂

[drowsy crane]

Why do you need very bright sources?

[median hound]

So I can see. If I’m awake.

[drowsy crane]

One campfire lights my entire 2 floor house, do you struggle with vision?

Maybe adjust monitor settings?

Some displays have a game mode.

[median hound]

Well I’m not asking just because I want to. Anyways…

[drowsy crane]

Want to what?

Sorry just trying to help.

[smoky thicket]

You can place standing torches but it will create smoke in your house so you're gonna have to get a way to filter it

[gleaming sun]

is there a command to get infinite/a ton of stamina?

[subtle parrot]

Setkey staminarate 0

[gleaming sun]

k thanks

[sinful plume]

if anyone ever needs help getting there tombstone back. feel free to reach out and if I am availible i will help. that is all!

[median hound]

I was looking for this myself. I just wish there was an infinite carry weight, but I don’t think there is…. Is there?

[gleaming sun]

i mean, you can use fly, but idk if theres a specific command, im gonna check

[median hound]

There’s an item you can use that sets it to 450 kg from the standard 300 kg, isn’t there?

[gleaming sun]

Yes, the megingjord that (spoiler) ||u can buy from the black forest merchant guy for coins, its item_id is BeltStrentgh||

There isnt a specific command for carry weight, i think, but yeah u can use fly or the megingjord, or the cart... @median hound

[median hound]

Thx, I might use summon in a megingjord to use now and again.

There’s a mining hat too you can get? Do you know it’s item_id?

[gleaming sun]

mining hat? do you mean the flashlight/glowing one?

[gleaming sun]

If thats what you mean, its' id is HelmetDverger

[median hound]

That’s it. Ty

[gleaming sun]

[wise rune]

can someone help me really quick. which one is better a. build structures on solid ground or b. use log pillars

[subtle parrot]

Depends kinda what you wanna build or the look you're going for

[wise rune]

2 story house

the roof is hard to support with normal wood

[marble roost]

Solid ground is always the best support

Make sure you use corewood pillars (get corewood from chopping down pine trees in the black forest)

[subtle parrot]

Have you made it to the swamp (3rd biome) yet? If you have access to iron i would suggest using woodiron beams for the structure of the build and then you can overlay the corewood beams to hide the woodiron framing. You can build much bigger that way.

[marble roost]

There's limits to how high you can build though, especially early. Maybe don't go too ambitious until you get better building stuff

[wise rune]

currently bronze age

[subtle parrot]

No worries, corewood is certainly capable of supporting a second story

[wise rune]

ty

[steep atlas]

is valheim still gonna get updates?

[steep tusk]

If you wait until you get to the swamp, you get the strongest build material in the game, which will drastically expand your options.

[steep tusk]

It just got one 3 months ago?

[steep atlas]

is it gonna countinue updating for a while?

[steep tusk]

Next one is final release and then there will be the post-release bugfixing/optimizing.

Will it be continually updated after release? No. This is not an mmo.

[carmine plaza]

Hi everyone, I came looking for some help :c
I play with 5 friends on a dedicated server, but we recently arrive on Ashlands and it's almost impossible play on that biome, the huge lag makes the enemies appear and disappear and other stuff.

My question is, there's a solution for the lag or we have to wait to the next patch?

Sorry for my English 😅 and thank you for reading my message

[gleaming sun]

if anyone here ever built the automatic boar farm, does anyone know what to do if my boars arent eating?

[gleaming sun]

the only solution i can think of is lowering your graphics, but maybe there is a mod for that, idk

[carmine plaza]

I'll looking for that mod o something like that, thank you

[patent timber]

hello. im in the mood to start a new world in vaheim but dont want to do it before the new biome update. any news on that?

[subtle parrot]

Sometimes it can be the position of the food or the possibly the wall/beam in front of the boar being a little too low

[subtle parrot]

Gonna be a little while at least, no real time table from the devs on that yet

[patent timber]

alright, thanks. i remember hearing from somewhere earlier in the year that it would be at the end of this year

[subtle parrot]

Likely it was just speculation

[tired root]

Not this year at least.
Some estimate/guess for 2026 due to PS5 release since Sony doesn't usually allow Early Access games in their library, but unless Iron Gate states otherwise it will remain just guesswork.

If you decide to start new world now, the new biome will be generated into your world when the update is added. Just leave the current Deep North area unexplored and it will generate normally.

[patent timber]

alright, thank you for the tip

[marble roost]

Not guaranteed that that will be fixed in future updates, but it might

Other solution would be putting all graphics settings at the lowest as Fukov said, and if that doesn’t work then you’d probably need a more powerful pc

[tacit breach]

The problem with playing on servers is the person with the worst system/internet effects everyone

[open coyote]

Does something reduce stam costs of weapon swings? The practice sword says 4 stam but I'm losing only 3 per swing

[tacit breach]

Skill decreases the amount.

Skill also increases damage.

Refer to the wiki for all of the specifics.

[open coyote]

Yeah I knew about the damage. In game tooltip says damage but not stamina

[tacit breach]

Yeah the wiki is more detailed.

And actually up to date.

[open coyote]

Speaking of the wiki is there another step besides logging in that you have to do to edit a page? I'm trying to correct the training weapons page which says you can't upgrade them

[tacit breach]

How can you upgrade them? I have yet to see an option in the upgrade tab.

[open coyote]

It's there, at elast for sword

I can open the wiki editor but it doesn't let me modify anything it seems

[tacit breach]

I think sword is the only, then.

As far the wiki, they have an application process. Mod mail may be a good way to inquire about it.

[open coyote]

There is some sort of bug in the email confirmation flow, had to confirm email twice

Looking at both "you have confirmed your email" and "this is restricted to users who have confirmed emails" 🙃

[tacit breach]

Pretty sure the process is not just the system default.

[open coyote]

The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Emailconfirmed Users, Fandom Staff, Fandom Helpers, Wiki Specialists.

The email confirmation process is broken though on fandom

Your email address is not yet confirmed. No email will be sent for any of the following features.

and

Thanks! Your email was confirmed on 27 December 2025 at 19:25.

[tacit breach]

They had issues so made the process more involved than just automated.

So I would inquire via mod mail.

[open coyote]

Ok it finally went through. Maybe there's a huge delay or something. Fixed the page

[tacit breach]

Cool. Probably needed human approval.

[open coyote]

Sword is presumably upgradable since you craft it in the first place

[tacit breach]

Makes sense.

[open coyote]

The email confirmation process is automated, this is a fandom level feature not specific to the valheim wiki

[tired root]

As said earlier, higher skill levels reduce stamina usage, but some equipment in later biomes too:
One Ashlands tier armor set bonus and cape both have reduced stamina usage for weapon attacks (including drawing bow), then there is Berserkir mead.

[carmine plaza]

Thanks @marble roost , and thanks to you too, Robert. Honestly, I didn’t even know that another PC could cause lag, in fact, we all have a good internet connection and good pc (although one of us does have a pretty old PC, which is exactly why we decided to play on a dedicated server).
I think there’s a mod called BetterNetworking, but I’ll check it out later.

[tacit breach]

Yep. Even on private servers. Its not an issue on big MMO servers, such as WoW. If you find a mod that helps with it, tag me. I even have issues when its just my wife and I, on the same ISP.

[lost swift]

I don't think that mod will change much. The way Valheim works - if you're the first person in a zone, you are the "zone master" and everything that happens in that zone is communicated through you. In my experience, bandwidth and latency are the big factors that affect networked performance.

That mod does help for big servers with tons of instances and players in my experience.

[compact heath]

Some people on my servers that I play with have tested the “BetterNetworking”
Mod and have found it not to improve anything in any noticeable way

[tacit breach]

I am not surprised. I tried everything I could find via Google. Nothing helped.

[lapis terrace]

using crossplay or steam networking?

[compact heath]

That was steam only I believe

[lapis terrace]

I don't know if there is any bandwidth limitations atm, and everyone away on hollidays now so I got no one to ask really 🤔

and google the questions didn't help me alot sadly

[compact heath]

I just have a feeling mods will have a hard time improving networking, if it was easy to do that devs will probably implement whatever improves it anyway.

[lost swift]

Yeah the only thing it improves for servers with loads of instances on good connections from what I've seen and really it just reduces the loading time when you come into a heavily-built area.

[loud rapids]

I found a mythical chart is this rare

[marble roost]

Sounds modded, unless mythical chart is code word for something

[loud rapids]

no I was being dumb and sent this in the wrong server while distracted, then I couldn't figure out which server I had sent it in 🙃

[jade olive]

I have been having some odd issues of late were things are disappearing. I had a iron cooker out near a simple base and a lox stopped it but the iron and chains were not there but the rock was. No major time happened. I have lost a scythe right out of a storage box. I knew it was in there had just used it to do crop and put it in there. Several months ago I lost 2 sap extractors in 1 root. One proofed and thought it was destroyed so I put a bench down, that same day the other one was gone with no trace. Has anyone had this issues ever? There is no mods either.

[harsh moth]

why doesnt this connect help me noob

[open coyote]

Looking at some kinda older videos about saving stone when making a land bridge with the Hoe, did these strats get fixed since? What's the best way to make a landbridge/wall now?

[open coyote]

Doesn't look symmetrical to me on the far side. Check brick by brick

[harsh moth]

ohhh ill check when im back on

[manic gyro]

When going to the bottom over the edge of the world (with fly/goto), is there a way to turn off the wind?

[tacit breach]

Only when I am on servers.

[restive summit]

Any chance someone has a recording or something of this video on how to make this workshop? I made it last year like in january following the video but the server it was on has since been deleted. I wanted to make it again but absolutely cannot find the video and dont remember the dimensions and whatnot. Any help would be appreciated but I know its a long shot

[smoky thicket]

I don't have the video but you could use wooden beams to work out the dimensions or you can reverse image search on Google and see if you can work anything out (if it's on yt ect)

[vale sierra]

Whats is the best and easiest way to find and collect root in the swamp?
Right now I have defeated The Elder and I am ready to move to the swamp but at this point im on lvl 3 Troll armor and would like the benefit of poison resistans.. 🙂

[smoky thicket]

I just searched on Google lens and I couldn't find anything exact

[smoky thicket]

You gotta fight those root spider things

Abomination I think there called

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Abomination?so=search

That's the wiki page if it helps

[open coyote]

Yeah fight abominations. Learn what they look like when dormant (sort of like a black rock the height of you). Get comfortable sprinting through the swamp without getting killed by leeches and stuff. Then, bring a slashing weapon and learn to dodge its attacks point blank. Or take a million years bowing it down

[vale sierra]

So a bronze axe or maybe a bronze spear would be sufficient?
I also have a bronze shield right now with lvl 18 blocking, this gear might be good enough? 🙂

Should probably make a bronze sword perhaps...

[tired root]

Axe has the benefit of saving 1 inventory slot for having slash damage and being tool at the same time.

And higher axe skill helps with using bigger axes.

[vale sierra]

Thanks alot guys, wish me luck in the swamp hunting Abominations 😅

[ornate finch]

Additionally, be sure to pickup item drops in Ashlands (they won't despawn on as time passes if they are near ruins but will impact network lag), and don't have more then one ship in the area.

[frail cave]

Guys how big is a 4x4 grausten floor next to a regular stone floor? I wanna copy a build but use stone instead of grausten so i wanna convert a few of the grausten part pf the build to stone

[ruby oar]

a regular stone floor is 2x2 meters, so grausten's twice the width and length, but it's much thinner vertically and iirc sticks above a stone floor if snapped to one since its center is right on the snapping point, rather than half a meter below it.

[shrewd rapids]

Valheim noob here. Is there a such a thing as too big a building when it comes to giving strength to roofing for it to not break? Or do I just have to be smart/creative about how to give it structure?

[drowsy crane]

Yes and yes

[tired root]

Just regular wood pieces don't allow you building too high. You need stronger supporting materials, corewood is stronger than regular wood and you can gather it by cutting pine trees.

You can get even stronger building material in 3rd biome.

[shrewd rapids]

I've beenn gathering core wood and regular wood

Can I post a pic here?

[drowsy crane]

Yes

[shrewd rapids]

Wondering if I've just went too big. 😅

[brittle jay]

this a house?

[shrewd rapids]

This is my second base so yes

[drowsy crane]

Probably, you will just need support beams in the center on the structure, and keep the roof slope as low as possible.

[brittle jay]

youll need a lot of support in middle probs make a two peaked roof

[shrewd rapids]

Ah, I think I can see that. I was also planning to make that back section after the angled walls a seperate roof

[drowsy crane]

Its possible, just try to support the middle with core wood beams.

[shrewd rapids]

One issue I'm having is I was trying to use either of the angled beams is even the angles don't seem to match?

It feels like the beams are off by like a couple degrees and get higher than the roof

[drowsy crane]

The corner angles are slightly different, you will have better results if you use the roof piece snap points rather than snapping each beam to the next. It will merge them and hide the angle.

The edges of the corner pieces are the matching angle for the beams.

[waxen field]

Where do you go after having full Brozen gear?

[tired root]

Did you defeat black forest boss?

[marble roost]

to kill black forest boss

[waxen field]

Oh shit, I went straight to the swamp 😭

Ight, thank you

[tired root]

That's the next direction, but you need boss drop to progress.

[smoky thicket]

Are you able to plant the seeds used to summon the elder?

[full mesa]

No

[full mesa]

Just used to summon The Elder

[smoky thicket]

Ok

[glad current]

I died on top of a sunken crypt (stupid oozer) and my tombstone is nowhere to be found. Is it possible it blipped inside the crypt?

[tired root]

If you didn't Alt+F4 or else, then it could be possible. You could try clipping inside the building with chair trick from the side.

[full mesa]

Its possible bc if you traveled back via boat it loads in other stuff before structures

[glad current]

No, I ran there

[full mesa]

Applies here too

What could have happen is that the tombstone loaded in earlier than the structure causing it to fall to the ground inside the sunken crypt entrance

[glad current]

I'll keep looking...if the abomination would kindly bugger off

[tired root]

You could also load backup save from character if the tombstone is nowhere to be found.

Or use devcommands to spawn/craft items you lost @glad current ☝️

[glad current]

I mean...I'm pre-elder nothing all that valuable on me. I just wanted turnips! 😭

[tired root]

Ah well. If you think trying the chair trick it works with log bench too which doesn't require workbench nearby.

[edgy spade]

I am planning on starting a server for about 5 people long termish does anyone have reccomendations for maybe hosting or how much ram i might need to buy with the hosts

[glad current]

Do you plan on having a vanilla server, or with lots of mods?

[edgy spade]

Vanilla so it can be cross platform

[glad current]

Then you can probably get away with a more basic server

[edgy spade]

https://tenor.com/view/what-does-that-mean-kobe-gif-23097859

[subtle parrot]

I used gportal with a couple friends a while back, seemed pretty good at the time, but that was over a year ago atp

[glad current]

Bisect Hosting offers multiple "levels" with greater size (and cost) ifi you need a more powerful server

[flat berry]

Is it normal if abomination and draugs r walking around of the witch house?

I even cant take my stuff there 🙁

[marble roost]

Witch house is in swamp, and draugr and abominations spawn in the swamp, so yes

[flat berry]

They killed me when I was in her house

[marble roost]

That does sound unusual. They shouldn't be able to go into the bubble around her house

[flat berry]

Daugrs, abomination and skeletons
They all

[marble roost]

Any mods? And is it actually the Bog Witch's hut or just a random broken tree structure?

I don't think the bubble is perfect at deterring enemies but in my experience it's been pretty good

[tacit breach]

Its been normal for me. First time I ever found her I had to deal with an Abomination trying to kill me. I got something like 4 of her broom trophies due to it.

[flat berry]

It’s vanilla. And it’s the Big witch

Bog*

[merry vector]

monster's are constantly walking through the bog witch area ... bog witch is not a 'safe space' like Haldor and Hildir seem to be.

[tacit breach]

So yes, her house is not protected like Haldor and Hildirs camps are.

[marble roost]

Anytime I've gone into her hut the skellies and draugr chasing me have run off, but I suppose it could just be coincidence

But I haven't engaged with her very much.

[tacit breach]

Abominations are the only thing I have had issues with. They attack you in her hut. For my wife, its killed her broom 14 times.

[marble roost]

Might just be an abomination issue rather than Bog Witch issue? Wiki also says it provides a safe zone

[tacit breach]

My wife died in her hut.

[merry vector]

first playthrough ever on a vanilla world, we set up a base on one side of her like we did with the other two but it was always a gamble if it was going to be a safe trip there ... it was like 50/50 for us.

[tacit breach]

It definitely does not protect you from Abominations.

[marble roost]

I would assume Haldor and Hildr don't either

[tacit breach]

Never had an Abomination attack there. They are close enough to Hildir, that I could find out with her.

[merry vector]

Draugr walk up to the bubble of Hildir but have walked away from it after a few ... Trolls will come up to Haldor but will walk away after a few ... Bog Witch is the only one that draugr, skellie, Aboms have walked through and fight us ..

[true steeple]

I've just spawned the bog witch hut and no enemies are attacking there, even abominations. I'll reload it and see if that breaks anything, reloading causes an issue with the bear rug in Haldor's camp.

[tacit breach]

I've only had issues with the Abom. Everything else turned away like they were supposed to. I did have a draugr chase me to her door, though. Which surprised me.

[tacit breach]

Have them chase you. Never had them just attack.

[true steeple]

I think I've found the problem. The area outside the hut seems to be protected, but not the inside. This is probably to allow Kvastur to protect themself when the player attacks them inside.

When I stand next to the hut the abomination doesn't attack but it does when I move inside

[merry vector]

then I suppose we were just unlucky in the one we found ..

[tacit breach]

Yeah, like I said, they have killed my wife's character while she was inside. Got a hell of a lot of broom trophies, though.

[flat berry]

I’ll check to be just outside

Of the house

And, btw, they won’t attack the houses that weren’t build by me?
Even if I will put there workbench?

[marble roost]

They won't attack houses not built by players, UNLESS there's something in the house they want to destroy, such as a player or workbench

[true steeple]

same for houses that are built by players

[tacit breach]

Yeah, they will attack game houses. I often us e swamp houses, and they have no problems attacking those, when I am inside, or have been aggroed by me.

Since I usually have a bench and portal inside.

[flat berry]

I found a small house there and hid there. I put a workbench and a portal. They don't attack this house. Even when I went out and they killed me, they didn't go into the house and didn't destroy it. There were about 5-6 draugrs there

[tacit breach]

Draugrs are different because of their size. Its abominations and trolls that are the problem.

Wraiths will come after you too, since they fly.

[flat berry]

Ye
It’s right
They don’t attack when I’m outside of the house of Bog witch

[tacit breach]

Good to know.

[shell berry]

does anyone know how to stop roof parts from collapsing when i put them on the little tower thing?

this is the inside

[tired root]

Better supporting pillars, corewood or ironwood.

[marble roost]

Or stone

[harsh moth]

welp

[dense glade]

Getting a lot of goblins wandering into my small patch of land. What do y'all think is the best way to block out spawns? Campfires? Workbenches?

Campfires
Cheap, doesnt visually pop out and obscure your view, and mobs don’t agro to them

[dense glade]

Roger roger.

[stiff jewel]

tips for fader? they're fucking strong with 25,000 healths.

[full mesa]

Open area

[tired root]

Berserkir axes. Determination.

[stiff jewel]

do quality 2 posion berserkir works?

AKA quality 2 primal deserkir axes

[brittle jay]

vine staff, bubble staff and troll staff

[stiff jewel]

my friend has it because i'm warrior and my friend is magician

[stiff jewel]

Fair.

[tired root]

The rooting effect can be applied to bosses too.

[stiff jewel]

That's good to know, i can easily pin bosses down because of it high attack speed :)

[tacit breach]

He is pretty much a push over with the exception of his ground fire attack. That thing kills you in seconds. So just focus on avoiding that, and beating the crap out of him when you can.

[stiff jewel]

yeah, i gotta to focus on dodging meele attack and RUN AWAY on ranged attack

also, NO feather cape allowed due to their heavy fire damages?

[tired root]

The fissure fire is very deadly, other fires not that much but can be.

[tacit breach]

I always wear the cape, but I also make tons of fire wine.

[stiff jewel]

yeah, i'm wearing literal metal cape so i should be fine when i'm using fire wine.

and 19 healing potions...

[tacit breach]

The fire wine makes the feathered cape fine as well. Which is why I keep wearing it. Its of far more use to me than the other capes.

[stiff jewel]

and ashen cape gives a lots extra armors

[tacit breach]

I use tower shields, so I don't care much about even more armor.

I do care about the flexibility the feathered cape gives me while fighting.

[true steeple]

Resistances override weakness so with any cape you'll always be resistant with barley wine

[stiff jewel]

ah. we defeated fader already, it's million times faster than queen fight depsite having double health of queen lol

[tacit breach]

Told you he is a push over. 😄

[stiff jewel]

yeah, still so destructive that almost entire colosseum has collapsed.

[tacit breach]

Its that fire, I think. Not sure, since I have to spend so much time avoiding it, I don't get to really pay attention to everything else going on.

[cursive dragon]

I never realized that it had fire weakness till now lol, that would probably explain my fear of fire damage in ashlands

[tight yarrow]

Hey guys is there a way to spawn bears with the console commands?

[marble roost]

Should be

[marble roost]

probably something like (this a complete guess because I don't use devcommands a lot):

Spawn Bjorn 1 0

[tight yarrow]

Ahh okay I tried typing bear but didn't try Bjorn I will try typing that in.

[marble roost]

Yeah items/mobs in devcommands tend to continue having their internal dev names, rather than the actual name they end up with in-game. Can always search the mob up on the wiki and it'll list it's "InternalID"

[true steeple]

The amount and level paramaters are optional, spawn bjorn will do the same thing here

also letter case doesn't matter

[sinful anchor]

Am I ready for bonemass?

[olive ocean]

more than

[rare quarry]

Yes you are, just remember to drink your posion resist potion before you go and fight him 🙂

[normal ingot]

My god, that's a memory, my entire group did not use resist pots the first time.

[frail cave]

do you guys know how i can kill this stupid ass not dying from the smoke XD

[olive ocean]

might be able to help better if you can get a better pic of the structure

[jade olive]

Agree can't quite see what your trying to do

[tired root]

Is that greydwarf farm?

[frail cave]

yes XD

[tired root]

Would be easier to them dying to fire than smoke.

You can place hanging blaziers in a way they touch the ground and they don't break when enemies step on them.

[frail cave]

it is hanging blaziers

theres just one position where there is a pocket that they can go

[tired root]

You could try place one blazier on that spot so they spawn and get fired right away.

[frail cave]

alright ill try

[tired root]

First you need to place vertical beam on right height for placing the blazier so it touches the ground but doesn't get buried.

[frail cave]

i see

[tired root]

Only mobs smoke can kill quick are deathsquitos - they have only 10hp after all.

[proper palm]

Hi, I bought the game yesterday and have been trying to get the furnace but on my whole starter island I have found 1 burial chamber and it only had 1 surtling core in it. How can I get surtling cores?(not like only 1)

[true steeple]

You got unlucky with that burial chamber, they often have more than one. You'll have to use a raft to move to another island. Try to land at a meadows biome and make a new bed before heading into a black forest, dying away from your island before setting your spawn will be hard to recover from.

[marble roost]

Even moreso, you got unlucky with that island. Very rare to only have one burial chamber on the whole island

[lilac estuary]

Yeah .... lucky or unlucky depends on your POV. Some players like the trope of needing to build rafts and hop from island to island! Worlgen is like that, sometimes you don't need any.

My few beginner-tips: only travel in daytime, and try to scout from all coasts another landmass before setting sail. The rafts can be SLOW. Only sail to the unknown open if you must. Take minimal gear, leave important stuff home, when charting unknown waters. That way your tombstone wont ve left in the middle of nowhere with your important stuff. After building a safe haven, you can transfer your stuff later on.

[proper palm]

i mean i still havent explored every corner, but for this big of space 1 burial chaber is crazy

[astral sierra]

Hey, I got a question. The structural integrity mechanics in this game don't make any sense to me, they're not realistic in a clear and concise way. I tried framing a manor house out of 4m logs, everything was snapped together, but roof sections are falling apart when I try to place them.

I got tons of support posts using 4m logs that're in the ground at even spacings.

So many, that if this were real-world, this structure would be over engineered to be honest.

[icy brook]

I always see people say the building in this game is pretty realistic

You probably just need to make your supports out of stronger materials

[astral sierra]

I've worked construction my whole life, and it's definitey not.

I skeleton framed a house out of log beams, if you did this IRL, it would be over engineered, which is why nobody does this anymore.

If you need sturdier materials to build something like 3 stories tall, maybe that's it.

[tired root]

Pictures of what you're trying to build could help.

But there is iron in swamps which is one of the strongest structural supporting material.

[astral sierra]

do you actually need to use stuff like iron support logs to build 3 stories?

my 2 story structures are all fine, I only ran into issues with 3 stories.

[tired root]

At least 2 stories should be able to built with using corewood, I don't remember exactly how high they can support tho.

Also make sure the supporting structures are on ground level at the start (showing blue color).

[astral sierra]

It's a skeleton framed 3 story manor using "logs" everything is properly snapped together with vertical, horizontal, and 45 degree angular support.

I learned from the mistake of not properly "snapping" blocks together in the first couple hrs of play when my first structure fell apart, lol.

[tired root]

So the roof part is having structural problems?

[astral sierra]

I might mess around and try using stone blocks for a foundation instead of log posts into the ground and see if that works.

Yes Joel, it's the roof.

I even made log trusses to support the roof.

[tired root]

And how many horizontal 4m log poles for the 3 stories?

[astral sierra]

They're spaced every 3 squares at the corner.

snapped to the corners of the floors

if this was a beach house, it would be nearly hurricane proof.

maybe not force 5

[tired root]

I mean how tall/high the building is.

[west wharf]

is there mods for valheim?

[tired root]

-# Did I mess vertical and horizontal?

[astral sierra]

I don't have an accurate way to measure height in game, but my guestimate would be 3 stories.

[tired root]

Check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[tired root]

One long log is 4m.

[astral sierra]

between 16-20m

I'm not in game atm, so I can't count it exactly.

9 squares long, 5 wide (for floor panels).

[tired root]

Okay, because I recall I had some problems trying to build fully higher than about that height even with corewood.

But surely iron would help building higher than that.

[astral sierra]

It's probably materials related, the devs probably want you to use iron posts at some point for larger structures, if that's all it is then I'll mess around with it to figure out the quirks.

[tired root]

Yeah, stone buildings also require proper supporting after certain height and building more stories using stone floor pieces require iron supporting.

[loud grail]

Hi folks, i'd like to ask a question, I have a very old char on which i have more than 400 hours (and of course i died a lot with him). But what I notice, it is incredibly hard to level skills with him, rather with a new character. Is there a reason for that?

[smoky thicket]

Skills get harder to train the more you level them up

[loud grail]

yes i know that, but I have a friend that have skills on 80+ and he levels faster while mine are around ~40 and i'm wondering why

while we are doing same things

[hidden coral]

does anyone know if surtlings can still spawn in the swamp? i remember finding them all the time on an old run, but i havent found any in the swamp on my current newest run

[hidden coral]

are you keeping your viking rested? u gain more xp when your viking is rested

[loud grail]

yep, we both have rested buff

the thing is, it's only on my main character (the first ever made) my new characters seem to level skills a lot faster

than the original one. I thought maybe because i died a lot with him

[hidden coral]

it depends on the settings in ur world but if u die a lot you can lose a lot of skills

i dont think older characters are more or less likely to gain xp than newer ones tho

[primal dagger]

oops

[smoky thicket]

How does one achieve that

[junior ingot]

skill

[smoky thicket]

I wish I had skill

[primal dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-homer-simpson-hiding-embarrassed-bush-gif-17046855792482123631

[cursive dragon]

And lag, Ain't seen it that high tho lol. Farthest ive seen is like 30.

[primal dagger]

lag + controller

got 34 on the ore side

[smoky thicket]

How do you lag it

[cursive dragon]

Dang how bad is your internet?

[smoky thicket]

Bad WiFi?

[quick apex]

jesus

169 ore bro how u gonna get the coal for that

[cursive dragon]

That's the coal side

[quick apex]

u will have to chop like 2 whole forests

[primal dagger]

yeah, but we have more ore than that

[quick apex]

bruh thats cooked

[primal dagger]

I got like 800 iron days ago, I'm still smelting it

[smoky thicket]

You can get coal easily by lighting a pile of wood on fire

When it burns you get 50 coal

[cursive dragon]

Ah, nothing like endless smelting

[primal dagger]

does it still works?

[smoky thicket]

Ye

I did it the other day

[primal dagger]

how do I put it on fire?

[smoky thicket]

It's a modifier

[quick apex]

bruh

[smoky thicket]

When I changed it tho my portals caught on fire

[cursive dragon]

Do you have the fire modifier active in world settings?

[smoky thicket]

You can change the modifiers at any time tho

When you click on the world

[primal dagger]

I'm not in wifi, idk what happened, it spiked a lot when I was coming home with like 10 packs of silver, then we started filling the smelters with lag and I noticed that when I started turning my camera the lag went up, so I kept doing that while my friend put the coal on the smelters

[primal dagger]

I don't, does it need it?

[smoky thicket]

To burn the wood yes

It might light some of your structures tho

So be careful nothing can get burnt

[quick apex]

btw like the surtling spawners in the swamp how long does it take for them to spawn

[primal dagger]

every 5min i think

[smoky thicket]

My portals got lit when I did it

[quick apex]

the lil fiery beings

[cursive dragon]

Like houses lol, did that with my first time

[smoky thicket]

It was kinda funny

[quick apex]

i just built a full stone house

lol

[smoky thicket]

I went and did it and my duo shouted down the mic the portals are burning

I haven't started stone yet

[cursive dragon]

Did that too, but had wood decorum for the chimney/fireplace which = burn

[smoky thicket]

Got the materials for the station

Do building peices that burn give you coal

[quick apex]

true

[quick apex]

i dont think so

[smoky thicket]

Ok

[primal dagger]

had to put down more smelters

but that one is still going

[smoky thicket]

How many is that?

[primal dagger]

130/20

[smoky thicket]

I am talking about smelters

[primal dagger]

oh

8

[smoky thicket]

Ok

[primal dagger]

usually I have 4, but there was a lot of silver/iron and I had the coal for it

[smoky thicket]

Coal I think is the most tedious part to get

[primal dagger]

probably

[olive ocean]

lol lmao

mines gone only like 23/20, when hosting online

[heady lagoon]

ywwww so I play valheim on 2 pcs. but some times when I switch pcs, I see that the cloud did not synk or wtv how do I get it to synk so I got ma progres saved on the other pc?

[olive ocean]

ive noticed that the sync takes much longer than other games, are you waiting till it says 'up to date' on steam?

[heady lagoon]

yea

[olive ocean]

thats as far as i go

[tender yarrow]

For the first person mod how do you toggle first person?

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[tender yarrow]

Thank you I didn’t see that chat!

[proper palm]

youre right, just found another one with 12 cores, but this one was different this had evil bones and wasnt really a cave so i probably just found the wrong one

[true steeple]

Any burial chamber can have evil bone piles, that was just rng being rng

[tired root]

Each chambers layout will wary. Same for other dungeons in the future.

[proper palm]

i have been using a club for most of my fights and i feel like its really bad is there anything better? i just got enough cores for a furnace but i havent smelted copper yet so maybe i can get something better with it

[tacit breach]

Have you been able to upgrade it? You need bones to upgrade it.

[proper palm]

yea i upgraded it

[tacit breach]

Clubs are one of the better weapons for the first several biomes. Any weapon can work, though. Like my wife predominantly uses axes her entire play through.

BTW, clubs cover maces and hammers as you progress, including the massive ones, starting with Stagbreaker.

[tired root]

Wooden club is nice against skeletons and can carry well against certain enemies too in 3rd biome. But you can't go wrong with club weapon made of black forest materials.
Generally good idea to cover each physical damage types for certain enemies as enemies can have certain weaknesses or resistances against certain damage types.

[marble pagoda]

clubs are mid to start with, but maces are extremely good in the middle biomes
I'd definitely recommend picking up some flint and smelting your copper

[hazy citrus]

Just starting a new world by myself first playthrough should I up the drops? I heard it can be such a grind and I got a life so lmk what I should do

[true steeple]

You can change the modifiers at any time

[tired root]

Yeah if you feel like changing higher modifier then you can, also you can change them back to normal if it feels too easy/overwhelming etc.

[hazy citrus]

Oh okk thanks guys

So I can change up anything so i don’t have to stress about the settings?

[tacit breach]

Just be aware the 1.5 pretty much doubles nearly everything you get. So you will either have tons of mats to store, or tons of mats to just leave on the ground. I can't bring myself to just leave stuff, so I keep it on standard when I play solo or with my wife. On a server with lots of players it might be worth it to me.

[tacit breach]

Yep. Like was already said, you can change the settings at any time. The only inconvenience is you have to exit the world, then re enter.

[tired root]

Personally normal (1x) modifier is good for just me when playing solo but 1,5x has been nice in my co-op world with friends.

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I'd probably do it with 4 or more players.

[tired root]

We have total of 3 players and 1,5x has been fairly reasonable.

Especially when 2 of us crafted silver swords.

[tacit breach]

It probably depends on how the group plays. Like the last time I tried 1.5x there were 4 of us, but we all lived in the same house, etc... So the only hard thing to collect was the copper and tin, etc.... Even so we soon changed it back to normal. We wanted some difficulty in gathering mats. Its a survival game, after all. Still, it all comes down to personal preferences.

[hazy citrus]

I might be a little slow but why would you up it if there’s more people shouldn’t it be the opposite? More ppl = more ppl to gather. Then again I’m new to the game I just wanna know how it works

[glad current]

If each person is building their own little house/settlement, then the materials required increases as well. But like Robert said, if they all share a house, not so much

[frosty frost]

But also more people to split the resources between 🙂

[hazy citrus]

Ah good point

Thanks guys hopefully I’ll have fun i love survival games/single player

[tacit breach]

That usually comes down to how much each person can actualy spend time playing. Like I am retired, so can play all day long. Others might only have 2 to 4 hours to play, and not even every day. So that can be highly variable.

[hazy citrus]

Yeah I got classes so I’ll prolly up the drops

[tacit breach]

Yep. Probably a great idea for people with short time frames in which to play.

[tulip tiger]

Playing on a dedicated with 2 of my other friends We placed the bells to summon Fader and the server had to reset losing our progress placing them wondering if someone can give us 3 bells

[broken abyss]

what level should i upgrade my iron for the swamp/mountain after i beat it?

[tired root]

You could spawn them with console commands in other world and take them with you to the dedicated server.

[true steeple]

I usually upgrade everything to level 3, level 4 is too expensive for what it gives

[broken abyss]

sounds good!

[tired root]

Same usually, except main weapon I usually upgrade to quality 4.

-# Which very often is battleaxe.

[broken abyss]

i currently have the abyssal dagger which is very nice

[tacit breach]

Best early game dagger, for sure.

[tired root]

Lately been using knives more, paired with battleaxes.

[broken abyss]

will the abyssal dagger be good in the mountains?

[true steeple]

It will be good for wolves and enemies in frost caves

[tired root]

Timing the secondary attack at the weaker enemies can oneshot them or at least leave them staggered.

[tacit breach]

They are fun, and I still love the animation for the special.

[subtle sapphire]

hey, how can i make this more stable?

i cant build the roof because it keeps falling, ive tried adding support pillors under the house, inside the house, outside in between the walls, nothing works

it all falls apart

[tacit breach]

Support needs to go directly from the ground all the way to the roof, but right now I don't think you have anything strong enough. You can try asking in the #building-tips

[subtle sapphire]

yeah its the ground up but unfortunately its still now workiing

i scrapped the upper floor, im now just trying to build a roof

[subtle parrot]

The way i like to make a decent sized house out of regular wood is to use the environment, standing stones (or whatever the 5 stones in a cirlce are called) randomly throughout the meadows are a place i like to make houses as the stones themselves are "solid ground" and you can make taller builds this way. Trees work the same as well, but then you'll have branches waving through your walls

#building-screenshots message

[subtle sapphire]

unfortunately weve already settled away from the starting area, we wanted to get water so we could have a dock near our home

[subtle parrot]

And example of something i made

[subtle parrot]

No worries i don't mean the spawn area, you can't actually build on those, but if you're set on building where you're at, i would suggest a lattice work thing like i did in the middle of the build i just shared for support in the middle and a centralized fireplace

[tired root]

Try corewood poles. Cut some pine trees in black forest.

[deft anvil]

Does anyone know how to transfer my xbox world onto pc so I can run it on the build in dedicated server?

I have figured out how to host a dedicated server, but how can I upload my world

[subtle parrot]

I'm not 100% sure but i think you can sign in to your xbox account on the pc and it should transfer the cloud data with the account from your xbox, then go in the game on the pc xbox app switch the saves to local, make a new save and it should be in your files

[inner maple]

Is there any way to make the cart work in ashlands? Or is there some replacement I can use? I'm playing without portals and there are just too many different items to pick up while I'm out

[glad current]

A “road” of shield generators?

[inner maple]

Yeah maybe someday, black cores are basically extinct though

[true steeple]

Using too many as fireworks?

[subtle parrot]

Fireproof cart would be neat, but there's not one unfortunately. I would suggest leaving the grausten behind, there's just so much of it if you want to build with it. Or drop a mark on the map if you're using it and use the entrance to a pitrid hole for a workbench and just drop stuff on the ground there in the entrance

[inner maple]

It's not that I'm trying to carry 10 stacks of grausten, it's that equipment + food + mead + # of ashlands drops > inventory size

You have to just decide which 8 things you're not picking up this run, every single time

[subtle parrot]

Fair enough, then maybe caches here and there that you can get to and back from quickly enough i suppose

[inner maple]

That's what I've settled on so far. It's unfortunate because the terrain is actually cart friendly for once

[frosty umbra]

ok so my DA decided to open a door in the crypt, thinking i was good enough... turns out I was most def not good enough. lost all my good gear and cant go get it because i need poison resistance mead. read that online. I can kill poison gnomes or whatever those tree hugger things are but not a poison skeleton.

having to start over and gearing up. at least i know where i died so i can eventually go get my stuff.

also still cant find a river or stream. any pointers?

[olive ocean]

why do you need mead

[hazy citrus]

bruh everytime i cook smth up and i press e on it it just dissapears off the cooking station and its not in my inventory

am i doing sum wrong

[olive ocean]

are you waiting for the bar to fill

[frosty umbra]

i read online to kill the poison skeleton in the crypt i needed mead so I dont die. and better armor

I haven't even made the mead station yet. cant find tin to save my life

[olive ocean]

well its rather easy to avoid melee attacks, and you can dodge or use the walls to not get shot if archer

[hazy citrus]

wheres the bar

[olive ocean]

the craft button, it fills up

just a slightly darker shade of highlight

realistically, you never need mead

it just helps a lot

[stray fox]

can barely find any deer..

[frosty umbra]

idk its hard to get away from the big poisonous skeleton when there's walls all around you. lol. at least that my experience. and it poisoned me, die in 3 hits.

ok so I dont really need mead. coo coo

also it was dark. buahaha

[olive ocean]

do you parry at all?

[keen owl]

How do you parry?

[frosty umbra]

stilll learning only been playing for like 30 hours or so

[olive ocean]

you block at the last 1/4 of a second

[keen owl]

Ahhh thank you

[olive ocean]

yeah its really effective

[frosty umbra]

ooh ok

[olive ocean]

stuns enemies for 2x dmg if you riposte too

stunned take 2x in general

[frosty umbra]

oooh imma try that

[olive ocean]

i can say, if you stick with it, it gets so much better soon, and so much fun, im 600 hours in and its a blast

[hazy citrus]

imma be honest i still dont see it

[olive ocean]

one sec

[hazy citrus]

i might be blind or sum

[frosty umbra]

i only have 7 armor total on me. was wanting to kill another bear to make better armor since i cant seen to find tin no matter where i go. copper i have in abundance so many deposits... tin.. forget a bout it

[olive ocean]

this CRAFT bar

[hazy citrus]

oh im cooking stuff on the fire

[olive ocean]

ah LOL

[hazy citrus]

i keep tryna get it then it just dissapears

[olive ocean]

it will change color and sizzle when its cooked and rdy

it might be how its placed, food should be pulled to you when you take it off the flame tho

[hazy citrus]

ah kk i see now thank you

[olive ocean]

some advice, armor isnt amazingly effective, health points is the big winner

ur (max) HP value greatly influences what you can parry / block as well

[frosty umbra]

how far was a river or stream from your camp site? i know its inthe black forest somewhere. are they closer to the Elder or something? also is there a clock somewhere so i know the time of day? do you guy run back home every night or make a camp in one of the old buildings

[olive ocean]

well, personally i dont rly consider where water is tbh

spawns are pretty rng afaik

no clocks, but there are builds that use shade that are pretty cool

i usually stay out till my inventory is full of my desired materials honestly

[frosty umbra]

i was told tin in near strams and rivers but i cant find any, are there other places in the black forest to find tin? copper i can get

also how do i get fine wood. tried the hitting wood against the hard trees which worked once but it takes for ev er

[olive ocean]

on the coast of black forest has tin for dayyyyssss

[frosty umbra]

maybe i dont know what tin look like bc that is the beach

[olive ocean]

its unique small grey rocks in the ground

[frosty umbra]

oh. so basically i could be walking past these things thinking its rock, shoot

[olive ocean]

like.... 6x as big as a single rock you can hit E on, itll say tin like any ore

i can get a pic if you want

[frosty umbra]

im googling it

[hazy citrus]

wait can food burn is that why i wasnt getting it 💀 ive been collectiung coal

[frosty umbra]

yes

[olive ocean]

damn

[frosty umbra]

omgoodness so going to look for these tin deposits now. wwoot woot.

thanks

[olive ocean]

anytime

[subtle sapphire]

is the bear armor good? i dont have the headpiece yet but its tankier than my troll armor. im not sure if i wanna save up bronze to make a set of armor or just hunt bears til i get the headpiece and stick with that

i was also torn between the atiger, spear, and sword, but i ended up going sword since the bear armor improves my slash damage. but trolls are weak to pierce, ugh the choices!! anyways i also like using my skeleton shield, but honestly the sword by itself is probably better since it looks like i can stagger enemies by blocking and my shield cant

[sturdy pecan]

Does anybody know any mods that would allow me to set resource modifiers for specific items? I want to increase how much grausten and ash wood I get but I don’t want drop rates from creatures to be modified so I can’t use the vanilla settings. ValheimPlus also doesn’t have settings for anything past the plains so I can’t rely on that either

[merry vector]

ask in here .. https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966
They could prolly help you out witht hat info

[merry vector]

I know plenty of people that use the Bear Armor set all the way up to Fenris Set (Mountains) . They like it alot.

[merry vector]

The tower shields cant parry but the round shields and bucklers can .. which causes the stagger effect. So you can Sword/Shield(Buckler) or Spear/Shield(Buckler)

[olive ocean]

yeah it's pretty good

[olive ocean]

i personally have stuck with primarily swords all the way, even at end game

i use swords and casting now

[subtle sapphire]

ooouuuu okay, bettt i am still rlly torn between tower shield and heavy armor and small shield and lighter armor

[olive ocean]

i would definitely suggest small shield and light armor (with a passive)

[subtle sapphire]

are there any armors that give a bow passive?

ive just unlocked the finewood bow and wow that thing is a HUGE upgrade from the previous bow

id love to get that to be even more OP

[merry vector]

not without mods I don't believe

[olive ocean]

there is trinket

[merry vector]

the Finewood is a really big upgrade from Crude lol

[subtle sapphire]

whats the name of the trinket?

[merry vector]

ohhhhh right .. the Wolf Sight ..

[olive ocean]

wolf's vision, its in mountains

[subtle sapphire]

yaaaa i mean even the bronze sword isnt toooo big of a difference from the flint spear (which i absolutely adore, best weapon in the game)

but the finewood bow is sooo good, also i onyl just uinlocked the black forest and got some bronze and stuff

so im preetty sure im far from mountains

[olive ocean]

yeah...

[merry vector]

couple biomes away lol

but could be a goal to look forward to...

[olive ocean]

know that bows get really good as you progress, even without buffs

[subtle sapphire]

that's epic, I have enjoyed kiting the troll and shooting them in the face, try and hit me with a log now sucker!

[warm wren]

how do i find my world seed on dedicated server

[vale sierra]

Good morning ppl 🙂
Does anybody know what Amber, Amber pearls and Ruby is used for, is there any point in keeping it?
Im at the Swamp level right now, havent mined iron in the crypts yet...

[tired root]

Root armor set bonus grants +15 to bow skill. Then there are 2 other armor sets later that grant +% pierce damage.

[tired root]

All items with valuable tag can be sold to traders for coins. Some are used for few items too.

Like if you have extra bear trophy, 3 rubies and 5 bronze you can craft very useful trinket.

[vale sierra]

Thanks alot, I'll be sure to keep it

[tired root]

There are 3 different traders to be found in your world, each spawning in each of first 3 biomes. They'll appear when you get close to any of their spawn points in the world, showing their unique icon on the map.

[gleaming sun]

whats the most optimal weapon for the mountains? is the iron mace good for it?

[true steeple]

Iron mace is good for everything except drakes, bring a bow for them.

[gleaming sun]

ok thanks, also does the wolf cape fully protect me from the cold or do i still get damaged even with it?

[true steeple]

It protects you from the freezing effect in mountains but only halves frost damage

[gleaming sun]

alright, then ill keep using the mead

[true steeple]

they're both the same resistance

[gleaming sun]

wait does the mead not fully get rid of the effect

[true steeple]

frost resistance makes you completely immune to freezing and cold effects, but not the frost damage type

[tired root]

It does remove the freezing and halve frost damage.

[gleaming sun]

ok yeah thats what i meant to ask thanks

[tired root]

Same as wolf cape/chest or fenris chest.

[gleaming sun]

is the banded shield or the iron buckler better?

[ruby oar]

the iron buckler is better for parrying strong attacks, the shield is better for blocking

[gleaming sun]

i just wanna know whats better to use in the mountains especially againt wolves

[ruby oar]

bucklers have lower base block armor but a higher parry bonus, which is a multiplier applied to block armor on a parry

it depends a lot on your playstyle 😅
i've heard some say wolves are hard to parry because their attacks aren't as clearly telegraphed as some other enemies', but i got pretty used to it. but failing to time a parry with a buckler hurts more than with a normal shield so i tend to go for the shield initially and switch to a buckler once i'm more familiar with the attacks of a biome's enemies

[tired root]

Both can work, depends if you want to have both good block and parrying option (banded shield) or just stronger parrying (buckler).
If aesthetics is important to you, you can change style for banded shield.

[true steeple]

I use the banded shield because it looks better

[viscid fox]

Imagine using shields instead of your fists

[glad current]

Imagine thinking there's only one way to play

[olive ocean]

how do u give ur friends flight via console commands can you do that

[tired root]

Only host can use console commands.

[royal rose]

Yeah but can you give your friends flymode/debugmode through a command?

nvm fly (their name) doesnt work ill just assume you cant

[tired root]

You cannot.

There might be mod for it, but you can ask it in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍

[subtle sapphire]

My sword says "block adrenaline" but what does that even mean?

[smoky thicket]

It's related to the little red bar you get when you block stuff

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Adrenaline?so=search

That's the page if you don't know what it is

[tired root]

You gain adrenaline when you equip any trinket, which will activate the effects of equipped trinket when adrenaline bar gets full. Blocking, parrying, hitting and staggering enemies grant you adrenaline.

If you block with your weapon you gain that much adrenaline when blocking. But shield is more reliable.

[subtle sapphire]

OUUUU okay nice!!

[spare cargo]

Wards don't do anything for you if you're playing solo right?

[frosty frost]

They alert you when something is taking dmg, but other than that, not really. They prevent spawns as they are a base structure tho 🙂

[ruby oar]

they at least alert you with a sound and visual effect when stuff gets hit

[spare cargo]

Oh neat okay. I tend to build earth walls around my base so nothing can get in to begin with.

hello im new to this game, how can i find boars easier ive been looking for them for so long and they seem so rare

[frosty frost]

Pretty much just explore meadows. Preferable ones you have not been to recently 🙂

[static quartz]

Boar are mostly in the meadows... and sometimes on the border of meadows and black forest. Additionally there are some marker stones that have the red writing and mention boar being afraid of fire. don't hold a torch while looking for them

[frosty frost]

Also look for runestones, they sometimes can have a whole group of boars around them. Tho once you kill them the group will not keep respawning.

[static quartz]

fire potions help!

[cinder pasture]

Getting hit with one fireball is quite the hp drain

[frosty frost]

Asking just in case, are you using the root harnesk in mistlands?

[cinder pasture]

Ah good point, I was wondering why I just kept dying so often. I changed to the mage set. I forgot completely!

[frosty frost]

Yeah, the fire weakness is no joke on the harnesk 😄

[tired root]

Remember the feather cape also has even stronger fire weakness.

[frosty frost]

Tho the fire resist potion overites that

[cinder pasture]

Does this get cancelled if I wear a piece of fenris?

[frosty frost]

Fenris set gives resist only as full set iirc

[tired root]

Full Fenris, since the fire resistance comes from the set bonus.

[cinder pasture]

Ok, did not know that thanks

[tired root]

Usually light armors require full set for their bonuses.

Although some pieces can have their own benefits like Root mask (poison res), Harnesk (pierce res) and Fenris coat (frost res).

And each Fenris set piece grant +3% movement speed alone, total +9% with full set.

[tired root]

But yeah any source of resistance overrides the same weakness.

[broken abyss]

i have the abyssal dagger at level 2, should i keep upgrading it, im just in swamps now, moving to mountain soon, will it get replaced soonm?

[static quartz]

Another thought I just had... if you haven't already, turn your vegetation setting to low so you can see them more easily... this also helps to see red mushrooms!

[tired root]

Level 2 is fair still, but you can upgrade freely if you have made harpoon already and have enough chitin.
It will be replaced by mountain tier knife weapon.

Chitin has no other uses yet than crafting razor and harpoon, which is why there is no much points saving much of it.

[broken abyss]

sounds good

ill craft a harpoon

[frosty frost]

#screenshots message @bronze remnant Try boar or deer meat 🙂 also sausages or neck tails would work.

[bronze remnant]

oh they dont eat bear.. thought only wolf will try thannks

oh yes workd perfectly

[frosty frost]

Great! 😄

[iron moth]

HOW DO I KILL GRAYDWARFS FASTER?

[frosty frost]

Upgrade your gear or progress to another biome for better gear 😄

[iron moth]

OKAY THANKS

[frosty frost]

You are welcome 😄
-# Tho you might want to check your CapsLock button

[iron moth]

Oh your right thanks👍

[tired root]

Fire arrows are effective against them from the start. Regular greydwarves (and greylings) are also afraid of fire sources and avoid you if you have torch on your hand or stand next to campfire/standing torch/etc.

[iron moth]

Ah okay perfect

[gray temple]

Im trying to run dedicated server with an already existing world but the world generation is bugged how do i fix this

[tired root]

How bugged, exactly?

[gray temple]

the terrain is not the same as in the normal world but the boss progress and traders appear the same as in the normal world

like the seed is different

somehow

[tired root]

How old is the world?

[tired root]

Different than if you look at it in Valheim world generator website?

[frosty frost]

And if it is an older world you should be uploading the world files into the site 🙂

[gray temple]

like 150+ days maybe

[frosty frost]

We meant when did you start the world. Was it few months ago? A week ago?

[gray temple]

week ago

like the map appears unexplored and terrain is differnt if i try to run the server but when i run the same world in the single player it has progression on the map and og terrain

[tired root]

Making sure, no mods in play?

[gray temple]

0 mods

[rancid marlin]

why is my game freezing for about one second every 10 seconds?

[frosty frost]

Hmm... Are you sure you made the server using the same seed?

[gray temple]

shouldnt it automatically use the same seed if it runs the same world file on the server as in the single player

[frosty frost]

Probably... 🤔
I would recommend asking folks in #dedicated-server maybe. They could know more about server stuff.

[gray temple]

alr

[limpid urchin]

can i attach the dverger lantern to anything??

[subtle parrot]

Your hip

You can use them to make hanging and standing lanterns, but they don't go on item stands unfortunately

[spice sleet]

what are some reasons sommeone might be 'banned' froma server even though theyve been whitelisted

[broken abyss]

Our friends just got to the mountains biome, what should we be striving to get armor/weapon wise especially for the boss and preparing for the plains?

[olive ocean]

definitely frost mead, fenris set, draugr fang, silver sword

poison arrows

[broken abyss]

Sounds good is the wolf set worth it?

[marble roost]

It's very good yeah, I'd say the helmet is at least a near-must because its high armor but no movement penalty

If you like being fast at the cost of being a bit squishier though, the mountains light armor set (or at least the chest/legs) is pretty popular

[broken abyss]

is it worth getting both sets? or a mix of both

[olive ocean]

i would say no....

[broken abyss]

silver sword is the only one we should get leaving the silver age?

[olive ocean]

unless the pick gets to break new things, thats the way id go

slightly disappointing in how easy it is to get the next level tools tbh

[marble roost]

Sounds fine yeah

[marble roost]

No Silver pick exists

[olive ocean]

iirc i did skip it myself

silver shit is kinda crazy expensive too

[drowsy crane]

It's my favorite set tbh, incredibly useful, especially if you're utilizing Ratatosk Mead.

[drowsy crane]

The Crystal Battleaxe is strong even up into the Ashlands, it will depend on what you like as well, some people adore Frostner.

[broken abyss]

will i use it after the mountains if i get padded armor?

[drowsy crane]

You mean the next biome's armor of the same type but better? No, because you're progressing.

[broken abyss]

is the crystal battleaxe better than th e sword?

[drowsy crane]

I would say yes, but I also don't enjoy swords in Valheim.

[subtle sapphire]

What shield is better the banded shield or the iron buckler?

I keep getting one shot while blocking with the bronze buckler so it seems liek its only use is parrying, im thinking ill go with the banded one but idk if its any good

[merry vector]

could be a preference things .. I know that I have liked the banded shield .. but mainly cause I can stylize it to the colors that I like.

[cedar lodge]

well i wouldn't say one is better than the other, if you're really confident in your parry timing skills go for the buckler, if you think you need some "missed parry backup" go for the banded, it will protect you a bit more than the buckler if you miss the parry

[subtle sapphire]

yeah i have been blocking trolls pretty safely 😂 i went with the banded since i suck at parrying

[cedar lodge]

yep so that's the one, no stats there but also customization and colors are better indeed

[marble roost]

Just preference. Sword will get you more damage, battleaxe will be better for hitting groups of enemies at once and causing stagger (same effect as if you parry them, but it can happen if you just do a lot of damage too)

[marble roost]

If you're being oneshot it could be a food issue, good food is probably the most important "gear" you can have

[subtle sapphire]

we were struggling with food for a bit, but we just unlocked deer stew cuz we finally got our carrot farm up and running

were struggling to find enough bluubs tho, which is unfortunately sucky, same with the mushrooms

too bad you cant use yellow mushrooms, cause we have tons of those

[marble roost]

Can at least use them to make stamina potions

Though I personally prefer health potions, very clutch

[marble roost]

one potentially helpful trick could be to lower vegetation in graphics

But otherwise just a lot of running around black forest yea. If you do find a few spots with blueberries or mushrooms tho, you can mark it on your map. They'll regrow in that exact spot later on

[subtle sapphire]

yuhh we have been, she found a spot with blueberrys and mushrooms growing TOGETHER so were gonna keep hitting that spot

is there a way to anchor my boat to the dock i built?

[tired notch]

No, but if you destroy it, you'll get all of the materials back.

[subtle sapphire]

Is there a fishing rod in the game? i see all these fish but no way to k8ill them

Also i did get ONE fish but i cant cook it on the rack, what am i supposed to do?

[marble roost]

Prepare it at the Preparation Table first (made with iron)

[marble roost]

Yes, but it can't be crafted. Instead, you need to ||buy it from the black forest trader Haldor (or you can find it in the world, but it's very very rare. I haven't seen one after 900 hours of playing)||

[subtle sapphire]

||i havent found any trader at all but i really havent explored much beyond my starter island||

but ive got LTOS of money, just stacks and stacks and stacks of it is sitting in our war room lolol

[tired notch]

You won't be able to do much with the fish until you come across ||iron|| so I wouldn't worry too much about it and just keep exploring/playing.

[subtle sapphire]

yuh ive got iron

we managed (after like 50 deaths lol) to clear out a ||crypt, and got like 54 iron i think, we made a stone cutter and a new ship, as well as a chestplate for her and a shield for me||

[tired notch]

oh I thought you hadn't left black forest, my apologies

[subtle sapphire]

no worries!

im still stuck in the meadows frankly, thats where our home base it lolol

[marble roost]

To be honest, a lot of players keep their main base in the meadows even when progressing the last biome

[subtle sapphire]

i mean since we unlocked stone were thinking about decomissioning the base and making a castle somewhere, we found this plains biome that was rlly pretty

[grizzled leaf]

What are the most common things that reduce performance in the later game? My buddies and I have made it to the ashlands and have found that our performance has been steadily getting worse over the last couple biomes.
