[stone epoch]

Yeah that's what I'm not sure of, may have to test it. I'm guessing its a universal threshold equal to the depth the player has to get to.

[true steeple]

Characters have varying swim depths and become wet in water 0.4m shallower than that.
Yagluth's swim depth is 7.79m so he should become wet in water 7.39m deep, I'll test this in-game now

the tests show that this is correct

[stone epoch]

Thank you for checking that!

[stone epoch]

How did you get his 'swim depth'. This is an interesting number I haven't really looked into before. I assumed the swimming was based on depth of the water and not creature dependent

[true steeple]

I used a tool to read the variables in-game, I don't think it's on the wiki anywhere

[smoky dew]

heya guys! Wonder if mod adding to your custom builds some ingame stuff even exists?

[stone epoch]

I've seen decompiled code on github, is this a similar thing? I'd love it if someone made a directory of the information from code, but probably frowned upon from the devs anyway

[subtle parrot]

#mods-discussion you can likely get a better answer in that channel

[manic gyro]

You can find info on some variables here (all the ones that can be set with the spawn command): https://github.com/ArgusMagnus/ValheimServersideQoL/tree/main/ValheimServersideQoL/Docs

Swim depth for example can be found in the Character or Humanoid component file

[languid bison]

I'm playing on a multiplayer. My friend has the firestaff (we are in the mistlands).
I'm using bloodmagic, but want to deal more damage.
Is Mistwalker a good idea as a weapon?

[spark glacier]

anyone wanna play on pc? 16+ have a mic and discord & I will teach you I just started new world today earlier I wanna find people who are ACTIVE to play

[orchid scarab]

It’s a slashing/slowing weapon in a biome of fast enemies weak to slash and then you can use that frost damage for the next biome of fire.

edit: Oh actually the bugs aren't weak to slash. Wonder what I'm thinking of.

[languid bison]

So its a yes?

[woeful crown]

I build a Wood+Stone farm in the black forest where I mined out a pit below a spawner after a tutorial. And have 4 Wolfs in the pit and the spawner is no longer working since the wolf are in the pit, are they blocking the spawns or dos anybody know why it´s no longer working? (have not bin up to date on Valheim stuff cince I did not play in a while) So if someone dos know the problam or has Ideas I´d apriciade it.

[orchid scarab]

The slow is really nice. But Frostner is good if you've already got it.

[marble roost]

Mistwalker is very good yeah

[tawny solar]

I have a level two dead raiser and I tried using a blood magic farm that I saw and it got me to level 30 blood magic but the farm managed to kill the spawner that I was using, what is a good blood magic leveling farm?

[livid mortar]

Probably not an ideal solution, but when I was playing with friends some time ago, I advised our mage to fight the elder a bunch. I came along to farm my crossbow skill on the roots.

[tawny solar]

Thats actually not a bad idea, I’ll try it thanks

[gusty onyx]

So I'm a bit confused... Sailing to the Ashlands I never found anything but spikes that I got stuck on for hours

And then the ship just got dragged off the map eventually... never saw any land

Didn't even see the edge before it was to late heh

[orchid scarab]

Yeah. It's almost like the whole design of the Ashlands was ill conceived and bad.

[gusty onyx]

so I basically jsut spent 3 hours sailing and wasting my time...

what a genious game design...

and I got constantly attacked by that sea thing there as well

[orchid scarab]

Oh don't say that quite yet. You haven't even started the Ashlands content

[gusty onyx]

think I had to fend off like 10 of them

so if you fall off the map you can't recover anything I'm guessing?

[orchid scarab]

Seems a bit more south than Ashlands.

[gusty onyx]

well it said ashlands and I was around spikes

I was focused on the serpent thing and didn't notice i drifted to the edge

[drowsy crane]

Sail the edge of the spikes until you see trees in the distance, and sail inside the spikes towards those trees.

[gusty onyx]

and that darn drakkar is so slow to move

probably done for a while... not in the mood

that just pissed me off that I fell off the map with my ship and loot

no way to recover it right?

[drowsy crane]

Unless you haven't autosaved and can reload, I'm afraid not.

[gusty onyx]

I logged off as I went off the edge so maybe if I go back in?

[drowsy crane]

It's worth a shot.

[gusty onyx]

yeh its all gone...

well guess I'm not playing more for a while... already kind of fed up with the mistland grind

basically lost a few weeks worth of play at least

not my idea of a good time tbh

[drowsy crane]

Understandable, just give it some time and come back reinvigorated!

It is a brutal survival game after all.

[gusty onyx]

I'm fine with that but the design is just not fun

and it takes way more than 2h to figure that out

I hated the swamp first time, but they have tuned it since the early days

and I could somewhat play and have decent fun after they added difficulty settings

and they still havent added an option to keep all items

I'm basically forced to grind mistlands again to get all my weapons back

[dim moth]

did you check the automatic backups? you have to do some navigating in the load game menus

[gusty onyx]

hm?

[dim moth]

start game / manage saves allows you to dig into each character

[gusty onyx]

ahh yes, restored a backup from about 90 minutes ago

wonder what controls this

it doesn't seem to match world autosaving

thank you though @dim moth

Didn't even think about backups

[still saffron]

The spawners will only work if you are within range.
Make sure you haven't covered the spawner from the top by build pieces.
Another reason I can think of is if there are 4-5 greydwarfs already near the spawner, it won't make any more till those die

[hallow plaza]

Play on the lowest death penalty, game is infinitely more fun

[gusty onyx]

I am... still loose any items not equipped

and I was sailing so lost all of my inventory and weapons

[woeful crown]

Ty so mush caus I build a nice haus around the spawner and of caus I buils a roof😅

[raw totem]

Hello guys. Anyone knows a good server hosting web? I've tried a few and so far all of them did not support many QoL for Valheim. I'd be grateful if y'all know. Planning to host for 7-10 people. Thank you!

[glad current]

I’ve had good luck with Bisect Hosting. Mod friendly and good tech support.

[raw totem]

Do they work with most mods? I've even tried Valheim plus on many of them and still, had mods validating or crashing cause of whatever issues.

I am also planning to have at least 50/60 mods, Bisect would be at 50$+ for that alone. Maybe something cheaper?

[glad current]

Most mods, yeah, though I’ve never used plus; heard it didn’t play nice with a lot of others

[languid bison]

Can I somehow check if my RNG is broken?
I just chopped down 16 Oaktrees and got seeds from just 2

And its not the first time I have problems like that with drops

[glad current]

That sounds about right. It is unfortunately the R of RNG

[languid bison]

Any way to ncrease the droprate?

[glad current]

You can increase resource drops in your world modifier settings

It won’t increase drop chances, but each time you DO get a single acorn, you’ll get 2 or 3 instead.

[hallow plaza]

This will increase all drops for all resources

[stone epoch]

Thank you, this is great

[weak herald]

Anyone to play without mods?

[tidal geyser]

does anyone know what the build radius for the stonecutter is? Is it the standard 20m?

[buoyant heron]

bit of a random question but if i download a mod lets say the blacksmithing skill mod. and i wanna tweak what you get for certain levels to not make it OP and i use the f1 menu. is this a server side thing or does everyone have to do it individually

[robust swan]

Hi, in the suggestions section, it uses a recycling emoji to react. What does that mean?

[glad current]

The suggestion has been made before

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[cedar forge]

Hello just asking if the wishbone has been changed or this is a bug. Me and my friends are at the mountain with wishbones equipped but it doesn't seem to make a sound and there's no glow as well.

[icy brook]

Then there must not be silver

Silver only spawns at a high enough elevation so quite a few mountains will be too short to actually generate any silver

[cedar forge]

ahh I see thats why

[icy brook]

Same with obsidian. Typically if you don't find obsidian then there's also not gonna be any silver cuz silver generates even higher than obsidian does

So if there's not obsidian there definitely won't be silver

[cedar forge]

Ohh okie, I'll take note of that tysm

[compact heath]

also if there is a golem, silver is usually not too far away there, they a bit tough to fight

and if you find obsidian and the mountain has some slopes that are a bit higher then where the obsidian starts, thats where silver CAN spawn

[stone epoch]

Wiki says seeker event can happen in the Deep North? Deep North is not a valid biome for the event.

[thorn spire]

Right, but since DN hasn't yet been released, that may change with 1.0.

[stone epoch]

Sure, but currently it cannot. Charred events are the only events that can currently spawn in the Deep North

[thorn spire]

Always makes me sad when night seeker spawns occur in meadows, when I'm visiting my farm. They just slaughter everything!

[stone epoch]

Well, kill them then before they can

[thorn spire]

I'm only there for carrots!

[icy birch]

Yes standard 20m

[broken abyss]

Is copper deposits or the ancient swords in the mistlands the best way for copper,

[full mesa]

BF is still the best way

Safer and less of a headache to gather

[shadow bane]

Just wondering if anyone is free to give me a hand with the boss in the plains?

[abstract eagle]

Have you tried and failed ? Relatively easy.

[shadow bane]

Tried and failed more times and I can count lmao

[abstract eagle]

What do you die from most ? Meteors, fire damage, blast from her mouth ?

[shadow bane]

Fire dmg

[abstract eagle]

Fire resistance potion then. Just watch her. Raised hand meteor shower and then just run need stamina. For blast can hide behind finger pillars. Try a bow or crossbow to mix it up and clear out any tar pit before if around. I think it's tedious but doable. Can always sprint to a portal to recover but she will regenerate as well

[true steeple]

Yagluth resists pierce, even with elemental arrows bows aren't a good choice. Also crossbows aren't available at that point if you're following intended progression.

[marble pagoda]

how hard do you wanna cheese him lmao
you can pretty easily no-hit him by bullying his AI

[shadow bane]

Lmao well considering I’m still trying idc how hard at this point

[olive ocean]

whats ur weapon

[marble pagoda]

basically you stand on his tailbone and keep following it
smacking him whenever you've got the stam
silver sword or frostner is ideal but you can do it with a club if you're patient enough

this also works with lox and basically any enemy that turns slowly
if you're cracked you could probably do it with lord reto

(you'll want to wait for the blue nova attack to dissipate

[hallow plaza]

Time consuming, but breeding a lox army can help

[hallow plaza]

Just portal out?

[abstract eagle]

I mean I almost killed bonemass back in the day with like 1000 arrows. All im saying is to switch up your weapons, it is faster to melee but you can chip away if you are far away. I rarely pay attention to resistance it's more of a stamina management and understanding mechanics. You can just tuck and roll.

[full mesa]

Im sorry I am not scales lol

Lord reto hits too hard to fight 1 on 1

[true steeple]

Jump around his back and hit him with sword secondary like any other starred charred warrior

[radiant pike]

Hello all, (hopefully) quick question:

I'm a dungeon master, and I've been building my in-game monuments through valheim so that I can build neat scenes , battle maps, etc. Is there a way that I could download / play in (with cheats, free fly and build rule) / freeplay other people's worlds which are popular? he goal would be to impliment their built villaiges as places in my world, and then build the battle map and all the rest based on the game (to some extent)

[lament kiln]

The Silver Sword is ridiculous against the Undead

[thorn spire]

I would think there might be some people in #1024264966712340510 who would allow you to join their worlds where you could view builds, etc. Alternatively, maybe you can convince someone to send you a copy of their world file that you could join locally.

If you're looking for build ideas, etc. check out #building-screenshots, #1381541790674452571 or #building-ideas

[marble pagoda]

valheimians has a ton of stuff, either as downloadable world files or blueprints
you'd want to use infinity hammer to save buildings and transplant them into your world

[orchid scarab]

Will tame animals breed if unloaded? Can I just throw food in their pen and portal home?

[thorn spire]

No, you have to be in the area for breeding to occur.

[olive ocean]

mid

[open coyote]

For when mobs show up at night (not raids), depending on your boss progress, is it after you kill the boss strictly speaking, or is it after you mount the trophy in the circle?

[glad current]

After you kill the boss

We thought we’d be clever and wait to hang the Queen’s head but nope! Still got bugs.

[open coyote]

also I have a farm with mega trenches around it, and 1000% for sure have workbench coverage all over it, but stuff still spawns in it - what might I be missing?

[thorn spire]

couple of things that I just learned about. Make sure your spawnproofing is based on the initial 20m coverage of a workbench, for example. Upgrades improve that radius however when you enter/re-enter a chunk, the radius briefly shrinks back, possibly allowing spawns in the gaps.

Also, there's a permanent spawn point at the centre of the starting circle that can't be blocked.

[open coyote]

hmm, this is on the plains, we basically just have a bunch of overlapping workbenches and I don't see any gaps, and they're all level 1 workbenches

[thorn spire]

what are you seeing? 'squitos? or lox and fulings too?

[open coyote]

fulings and squitos yeah. no lox yet...

it stradles a zone line, and we're getting deer and greydwarfs on the other side

[thorn spire]

that might be the issue then. Funny things happen on the edges of zones/chunks?

[open coyote]

it's just a biome divider but yeah maybe

[thorn spire]

that would also be the edge of a chunk, I think.

[open coyote]

surely the chunks are like squares and don't follow curves of biome lines

[thorn spire]

My guess is that the spawns happen randomly as things load.

[open coyote]

hmm yeah, because the spawning is client (chunk leader) side i guess?

[thorn spire]

might be, I guess.

[frank bobcat]

hey i came back to the game and i remember there was a keybind or a command to check like the "stats" of the area im in, like how many stuff was built or wtv, can somebody tell me what it was?

[tired root]

Press enter and type /stats.

[vivid timber]

use Barley wine

[lost sandal]

I think he means seeing what the local instances are. Wasn't that F2?

[tired root]

Seems like it was too late night when I typed that answer.

[lost sandal]

[tired root]

Yeah, F2 is the key for checking instances/FPS etc.

[lost sandal]

Glad I still remember some things lol

[hollow jackal]

how can you keep an abomination aggroed= I fire arrows at him while in a tree on a platform but it keeps walking awawy

[thorn spire]

You’re probably too high. Jump on top of a sunken crypt instead. He can’t hit you unless you’re right at the back

[hollow jackal]

Okay, need to find one first

thanks

got a bear to do the job for me now lol, was fun seeing the two fight

[thorn spire]

The tilted trees work as well. Much easier to find

[true steeple]

Creatures lose interest if they're unable to attack for too long

[hollow jackal]

thanks. what is better, bear or root armour=

[true steeple]

they each have their own bonuses so they're both useful in different situations. Root harnesk has pierce resistance, and resistances are very powerful because they're percentage-based unlike armor

also root has higher armor in general and no physical weakness, you'll take a lot less damage from everything that isn't fire

[hollow jackal]

Is this literally the name of the tree?

[thorn spire]

No. The trees have no name. They’re just the indestructible ones sticking out at an angle from the ground

[rugged echo]

Hey, so I'm a returning player. I've made it all the way to the Ashlands solo and unmodded. I came across a 1 star Charred Warrior and I was surprised even after parrying him how staggered I was. Was this always the case with the 1 stars or have they been buffed?

[true steeple]

Because of how armor works starred enemies get stronger as you progress, dealing much more than 50/100% extra damage if you're wearing the correct armor

[rugged echo]

I'm wearing maxed out flametal gear though.

[true steeple]

generally I try not to parry starred enemies in later biomes

[true steeple]

The block armor on your blocking item determines what you can block/parry, not the armor you wear

if you want to parry stronger attacks, eat more health food

[rugged echo]

That makes sense. How would deal with the 1/2 stars?

[true steeple]

Make more use of walking, sprinting, jumping or rolling to avoid damage. For warriors, I jump around their back to hit them with a sword secondary attack

[rugged echo]

Appriciate the help. Thank you.

[full mesa]

Blocking a starred enemy in general is not a good idea

especially against hard hitters

[true steeple]

In early biomes it's not too bad

[hollow jackal]

Okay thanks. Since they are resistant to arrows, how do i kill them from up there or from up a crypt?

[hollow jackal]

yeah this just got me killed in the swamp lol

[full mesa]

Each biome probably has 1 or 2 hard hitting creature

Ashlands has 5 including lord reto

[true steeple]

yes don't block those, but early common starred enemies (greydwarves and draugr) feel a lot weaker than later common starred enemies (warriors and seekers)

[hazy elk]

Is the Jotun Bane better than the Blackmetal Axe for Chopping Trees ?

[normal ingot]

Anyone have recommendations for limiting night time spawns to their respective biomes?

[true steeple]

Yes it has 70 chop damage instead of 60

[static quartz]

stay in and do your food prep/ cooking... LOL. Seriously though, if your base is there, digging a trench around the area and then strategically placing workbenches and/ or campfires is helpful. (The fires don't have to be lit.)

[hollow jackal]

How hard does abomination hit?
I want to try to kill one with my 3 star bronze sword and buckler, and parry a bit. But would like to know how often i can mistime it lol

[true steeple]

They can deal up to 80 damage

If you can kill the elder you can kill an abomination, don't be so scared

[hollow jackal]

I havent done elder yet lol

[true steeple]

so why are you in swamps

[hollow jackal]

I dont want to reinforce my base against trolls

[hollow jackal]

Idk its the next thing to do? Im done in bf

[true steeple]

if you step outside they won't need to attack your base

[true steeple]

bosses drop items needed to make progress

[hollow jackal]

Yeah but there is three attacking? Dont like the oddds lol

[true steeple]

only two

[hollow jackal]

Eikthir power is better anyways?

[true steeple]

you need the elder's drop not his power

[hollow jackal]

Okay willl prioritize it then, thanks

[hollow jackal]

Can you kill them with 1 or 2 bonfires as well and let it walk through or does it walk away from fire?

[true steeple]

it doesn't avoid fire but I don't think this is worth doing. Slash damage + parrying is a great way of killing them, and bronze is strong enough

[thorn spire]

If you stand at the edge of the crypt or low enough on the tree, you can hit them with melee attacks but their attacks go below you.

[hollow jackal]

Okay, the wiki said the round shield with iron is only strong enough to parry, not the bronze buckler.. a bit confused now lol

[true steeple]

if you have food cooked at a cauldron you should be able to parry it

[open coyote]

Did anyone ever come up with a good workaround for Valheim's network model?

[tacit breach]

[umbral prism]

Hello, I'm trying to run my dedicated server. I haven't used it in a few months. I've updated the game on steam and when I run the server then try to connect it is giving the failed to connect error. Has something changed and is there something I need to fix to get it to work again?

[hallow plaza]

Spend an hour and a chest of stone placing campfires every 20 metres

[steep tusk]

Will probably get more specific help in #dedicated-server

[umbral prism]

Ah, thanks!

[hallow plaza]

If you do it far enough in your home base you cam disable raids except for flyers

[steep tusk]

Can also just... disable raids 😄

[hallow plaza]

Dodge, don't parry

[steep tusk]

Parry, always.

Since they made it cost zero stamina for some reason...

[hallow plaza]

Which is meaningless if the enemy breaks your parry

[steep tusk]

Sounds like your food sucks 🤷‍♂️

[hallow plaza]

The dude is using bronze, of course his food sucks

I'm all for parrying, but don't give people bad advice

[steep tusk]

Abomination on Normal with zero skill and Bronze Buckler requires only 33 max health to parry.
Which you can achieve with Meadows food. They should be at least using Black Forest food.

So Parry, always.

[hallow plaza]

Fair enough, I take it back, I had no idea that the threshold for parrying abomination was that low

[steep tusk]

It's moreso Bronze Buckler is the single highest defensive upgrade in the game.

[forest pulsar]

How do you tame wolves if it’s possible?

[steep tusk]

Same way you tamed boars.

[hallow plaza]

Trap em, de aggro em, drop meat

Do t leave e the area if its a onestar or higher

[steep tusk]

Boil 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a stew.

[forest pulsar]

Okay, what do they give you once tamed. Just extra harvest or can they follow you etc?

[steep tusk]

They can follow you and die, causing depression.

[hallow plaza]

Digging pits and using hoes to raise land is the best way to trap them

[true steeple]

They can follow you or you can farm them easily

Make a wolf pit to kick enemies into

[hallow plaza]

They follow you, but they suck in mountain tier, the drakes and golems demolish them

[forest pulsar]

Okay so not really a point in doing it?

[steep tusk]

They make good base pets.

[hallow plaza]

Use them for some base defence

[steep tusk]

Just not something I would take out with me.

[forest pulsar]

Og i va put them to «guard» a certain area?

[hallow plaza]

Capture a onestar one during night because its a notable upgrade from a nostar

You can also breed 50 of them and use them to one cycle moder

It only takes an irl week lol

[forest pulsar]

Oh shit

[hallow plaza]

Or less if you actually bother setting up multiple breeding pens

I just had 2 and I'd breed 1-2 babies a day

They have similar population limits to breeding like boars

And you can't currently automate breeding them

[forest pulsar]

Okay. Thanks for help I’m gonna give it a go😎

[hallow plaza]

They do make solid base defence for a while though

Starred wolves only spawn at night and will despawn if you leave the area.
Build a safety shack next to your pit

Also, capture 2 wolves, so you can breed them.
You only need one onestar to start the process

Get them out of the mountains asap, as the other enemies will demolish them

[hollow jackal]

So I have visited my first crypt today and farmed some iron. What would be the highest priority things to make first?
I have full lv3 bear armor and all lvl3 bronze weapons already

[crystal kiln]

ship, tools, weapons, armour

[steep tusk]

First 10 iron is always Nails.

[glad current]

Or stonecutter 😹

[hollow jackal]

Why a ship when i have to finish the swamp first lol

where tf do i need to be sailing to

[crystal kiln]

the longship is extremely good at moving iron
you will be doing this for a while longer xd

[steep tusk]

Because it helps you sail the iron back in one trip instead of multiple?

[steep tusk]

That is my 11-12.

Nails.
Stonecutter.
Forge upgrades.
Buckler, Mace.

[glad current]

I will allow this. 🤣

[drowsy crane]

I use my first longship of iron for 67 personal chests

im having a problem where the game is constantly maxing my gpu at any graphics settings in any part of the game including the main menu, its causing my games frame rate to go from really low to normal constantly. also i cant cap my fps for some reason

getting 500 fps when i capped it at 30 with the lowest graphics

[crystal kiln]

which gpu and OS?

[ivory dawn]

windows and i always forget how to check my gpu

[crystal kiln]

nvidia or amd?

[ivory dawn]

nvidia

[crystal kiln]

aight, go to the nvidia config and use it to force the game to sync frames with your monitor

[ivory dawn]

how do i do that idk where the config settings are

nvm'

[crystal kiln]

lemme look it up... unfortunately im on linux so my driver is a completely different beast xd

[ivory dawn]

i found it

[crystal kiln]

should be called v-sync or g-sync

[ivory dawn]

that fixed the problem

[crystal kiln]

nice

sorry for the vague instructions, havent touched nvidia on windows in ages xd

[ivory dawn]

game is still using alot of recourses but at least im not droping frames over and over

[ivory dawn]

they worked so its fine

Your welcome

[topaz spade]

Hey, quick question. If I use mods will everyone I play with also need that mod? We just want a mod for torches and campfires to burn without fuel

[tired root]

Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍

[olive ocean]

yes

[next flume]

any tips for meadow-blackforest? those big trolls are too scary how do i take them down and what should i grind towards im new 🥀

[hollow jackal]

Atgeir is very strong vs trolls, secondary attack will stagger them so you can kill them without them ever attacking you

But you need to find copper and tin for that to make bronze

Which can only be found in BF

[true steeple]

Either run back and shoot with a bow or roll through their attacks and stab them with a spear

[next flume]

yh ig i can do that. is that spear type weapon that good?

[tired root]

Before getting bronze your best pierce melee weapon is flint spear, which is super good at the start of the game.

Trolls have weakness to pierce.

[next flume]

i heard that knives are also good when sneak attacking. is it better than the atgeir tho

[tired root]

Even though trolls are weak to pierce, flint knife takes longer than flint spear. Next knives are much better tho.
Knives have 6x backstab damage multiplier and secondary attack also has 3x damage multiplier, which means you can deal total of 18x damage with successful knife "sneak attack".

And atgeirs have strong secondary attack that has AoE, knockback and 6x stagger multiplier, which can easily stagger troll.

They're different weapon types, you only can figure out which suits your playstyle more. 👍

[next flume]

aigh thanks

[echo flint]

when i want to set a dedicated servers backup intervals do i just put the commands in the .bat file?

[patent timber]

is there a command i can use to enable transporting iron, copper, etc. through portals?

[true steeple]

Change world modifiers in the main menu or use setkey teleportall

[steep tusk]

setkey tameable neck

When? 😭

[hollow jackal]

What to prioritize with iron when you just hit the swamp?

[steep tusk]

First 10 iron goes to Nails.

[stoic trench]

I usually try to bring back at minimum 150 iron, longship is a priority for sure. Then from there, usually a stonecutter and forge upgrades, then a weapon or two

[hallow plaza]

Pick up items.
Log out, log into another world
Drop items
Log back into first world
Portal back.
Go back to world 2, get items.
Done

Manually bringing back the metal is a pretty intentional part of the game design tho

[steep tusk]

Yeah, now that we can just activate "portal everything" we don't have to use this method 😄

[hallow plaza]

Oh right that exists too, forgor

[hallow plaza]

Boat, pick, weapon, crafting station upgrades, armor(if necessary) upgrades to equipment, new chests, future use

[steep tusk]

I drop weapon way lower on priority tbh.

Nails (for boat)
Stonecutter
Forge Upgrades

Iron Mace/Buckler

[marble pagoda]

stonecutter
forge stuff
iron pickaxe L1

mace
build mats (incl. nails)
I think that's about it, I use karves for the vastly better maneuverability and low carry weight

[steep tusk]

Carry weight?

[marble pagoda]

when you break a karve the mats weigh less than mats for a longship

[steep tusk]

Why would I ever break a Karve?

[tired root]

I usually save forge upgrades requiring iron for later since you gain access to 2 other upgrades that don't require iron.

[marble pagoda]

to cross land lol

yeah iron is the lowest priority for forge upgrades bc its so much

[patent timber]

i know about that method, i was just hoping there was a command. ive played this game enough to get tired of manually transporting the goods 😄

[marble pagoda]

well you're in luck cuz there's world modifiers now

[tired root]

My first prio would be:

• nails for boat and new decorations for higher comfort,
• quick stonecutter for grinding wheel then dismantle,
• shield,
• prep table if Bog Witch is found,
• weapon, usually it ends up being battleaxe nowadays.

[marble pagoda]

shitttt i still gotta do a battleaxe playthrough

[tired root]

It's great weapon against all mobs in swamp (except the boss).

[marble pagoda]

its gotta be so satisfying in dungeon rooms with like 3 draugrs

[tired root]

Definitely, jumping behind mined scrap pile to hack and slash the draugr and the spawner is quick job.

[marble pagoda]

hell yeah

[tired root]

Also the higher stagger for primary attacks make it easier to stagger draugr.

[hollow jackal]

I have portal enabled for iron, so i dont need to carry it on ships
Seemed rather annoying to have to go back and forth for that, dont have that much time lol

[steep tusk]

In that context:
Stonecutter
Forge Upgrades

Iron Mace/Buckler

[hollow jackal]

Okay ty, and for the abominations is battle axe worth it or better try something else?
Want to get root armor asap to swap out my bear armour

[steep tusk]

Worth is subjective to the individual.

[woeful star]

I just use a regular axe and parry it with a banded shield

[true steeple]

swords are so much better than 1h axes

[marble pagoda]

honestly bronze mace does pretty good in the swamp, i sometimes skip the iron
I will say you can parry absurd shit with an iron buckler and its pretty cheap to max out

[tired root]

I would say definitely battleaxe. But easier is to make shield and sword.

[true steeple]

banded shield looks better and costs less iron

[marble pagoda]

yeah but you can't parry as much
i usually use the iron buckler through plains if i make it

[steep tusk]

I skip bronze because upgraded wooden club can honestly get you to mountain if you really want to push it 🤷‍♂️

[steep tusk]

Unfortunate truth is unfortunate 😭

[marble pagoda]

that's also true lool
I like having a middle click so bronze or iron lv1 is usually perfect

the price of being able to chop trees 😔 I'm quite excited about a 2h axe playthrough tho

[gloomy yarrow]

is deep north upcoming any time soon?

[marble roost]

I usually run abyssal razor

Though Ive been feeling tempted to make a iron battleaxe in swamp

[marble roost]

Release date is unknown, so I expect it wouldn’t be “soon”

But that’s up to how you define soon

[steep tusk]

When it is ready.

[next flume]

is it worth getting full bronze armor, troll armor or bear armor? i really dont know

[true steeple]

Bronze armor isn't worth the slowness, choose between the other two. Troll armor is more protective but doesn't have damage and regen bonuses, and it doesn't need a rare trophy to craft.

you could mix bear and troll for a little more defense if you don't want the almost useless sneak bonus

[next flume]

well i can craft bear set rn before troll is it worth it? it does make me more vulnerable tho.

[next flume]

whats a good mix?

[true steeple]

troll hood and both other bear pieces

[next flume]

or is it better to get full of one

[true steeple]

Full bear is worth getting, troll set bonus is very weak

[next flume]

whats a good weapon to go with that? bear gauntlets?

[true steeple]

bear gauntlets or bronze sword

[next flume]

since i do need to get a good weapon im still rocking skull crusher

[steep tusk]

This is 100% a "your personal decision" moment. There is no wrong answer just as there is no right answer.

[steep tusk]

What is skull crusher?

[scenic depot]

Hey guys, where can I find a genuine survival mid game world to start with?

[next flume]

i renamed it since stagbreaker is lame

[steep tusk]

#1024264966712340510

[scenic depot]

ok ty, I mean I want to download and play it with my friends. Is that the right channel?

[steep tusk]

Now I don't understand your original question.

[true steeple]

you want to play with a world someone else has built in?

[next flume]

so which one is better?

[steep tusk]

Better is subjective.

[true steeple]

They both have different uses, I prefer the sword

[scenic depot]

yes! my friend who usually host his world is now away. I'd like to play a bit tonight with other guys but we do not want to start from the scratch

[drowsy bane]

Can a campfire stop burning when its "smoked"? I placed a campfire and it stopped burning, but theres no rain and it has fuel

[true steeple]

Yes, they stop with too much smoke around

[drowsy bane]

Thanks!

[twilit cairn]

Does anyone know in wich quartal of 2026 Valheim will release on Playstation so I can play with my friend who doesnt own a Pc?

[tacit breach]

Not yet.

Keep an eye on the news channel here.

[twilit cairn]

Alright, thanks unc

[fossil monolith]

Hey guys im somewhat new to valheim and i was wondering if there is crossplay between pc and xbox, and how i set it up

[frosty frost]

Yes there is and you just select the crossplay option when stating world as a server 🙂

[fossil monolith]

Do i need do buy like a server or anything

Or do i just have to set up the world with crossplay enabled and it will work

[frosty frost]

You can host locally

[lapis terrace]

you can host for free

and crossplay works between all platforms we have the game on

PC, linux, iOS, Xbox and when Ps5 comes out. that should also work with all the others

[fossil monolith]

Ok thank ill figure it out

[lapis terrace]

click "tools" in your library to find it 🙂

[fossil monolith]

Do u have to host the server on pc then invite my xbox friends or can i start the server on xbox then invite pc people

[fossil monolith]

Thx for the help as well

[lapis terrace]

I think you need to host the server on a PC 🤔
@ornate finch how do you do it on Xbox?

[fossil monolith]

nooooooo i have a world started on xbox and i wanted my pc friends to join on my xbox world

[ornate finch]

You don't need a dedicated server (setup on PC, or paid from a hosting site).
You can host a world as server normally through the in-game options on both Xbox and PC.
The only difference is that when you host on PC, you have to have crossplay option turned on if you want other platforms to join.

[lapis terrace]

oh they can join you

[fossil monolith]

ok so i just start my world on xbox as a server? then how do i inv my pc friends?

[lapis terrace]

use crossplay and you pause the game, and give them the 6 digit code

[fossil monolith]

ok so i load into the server on xbox, open the pause menu, then give them a 6 digit code thats pops up and then they can join. right?

[ornate finch]

You select a world, put a check mark to start it as a server, enter min password of 5 characters.
You pause the game and notice join code on the top of pause menu.
Your friends have to go to join servers tab (not world selection tab), press add a server button and then enter that 6digit join code you have to give them. Once then start connecting, they will be asked to enter the password.

[fossil monolith]

ok thank you so much

i appreciate it

im trying it now

ok i got it to work

thank you

[formal star]

wahts the best way to level up my polearm skill

[steep tusk]

By not spamming the same question in multiple channels.

[formal star]

i said it one time in 2 channels bro chil out

[steep tusk]

We are not related.

[formal star]

that was tuff lowkeyly

[olive ocean]

lmao

sensitively obligated to voluntarily moderate the server

[olive ocean]

same as anything, use the fuck out of it, create controlled farms of fast spawning targets

[orchid scarab]

It's fine, Friend.

[orchid scarab]

1.5 xp per creature hit. So secondary attack on big groups of enemies, ideally.

What biome is your progression in?

[stoic trench]

What biome is the wooden polearm in? Could train on TWIG 🤔

[orchid scarab]

The goal would be to use the weakest atgeir so you kill things more slowly and maximize your hits per encounter.

[steep tusk]

This would be how I directly answered the question in the first channel.

[orchid scarab]

Yeah, great, bro.

[steep tusk]

We are not related.

[orchid scarab]

Yeah we are.

[stoic trench]

If you use the atgeir secondary on say 5 TWIGs, would you get exp for all the hits?

[orchid scarab]

I've never used a TWIG. Let's find out

[steep tusk]

Choosing to cross personal boundaries without cause. Easy mute.

[orchid scarab]

lol?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

Anyone able to help me i was on a diffrent world and with a diffrent character looking at commands debug,map,spawns cuz i was bored but now I'm back in my multi-player world with my buddy but now I'm invincible/super speed and everyswing does 1k dmg

Nvm I got it to work after 3 hours of troubleshooting

[unborn cobalt]

hi i was wondering if anyone can tell me why i cant join any public servers please

[tired root]

They usually have passwords, since they're hosted by players.

[unborn cobalt]

how do i join some without passwords ?

[tired root]

If server has password you cannot, unless you know it.

If you're looking for server to join, you can try searching/posting in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[lapis terrace]

steam friendslist you can by-pass passwords if my memory serves me right

but there is not something as "public servers" for valheim

[hallow plaza]

Did it work?

I've been levelling block on 4 twigs recently

Also, if twig isn't working a friendly lox can regenerate faster you can damage it with wood weapons if you feed it iirc, just enable friendly fire

[next flume]

whats the best black forest armor and weapon set to progress further?

[sinful anchor]

Great question

[next flume]

so whats the answer...

[sinful anchor]

Also a great question

[next flume]

😭

[tired root]

Any armor and weapon can work, depends on your preferences.

Slash and blunt are strong in swamps.

[high hamlet]

When will you add achievements to the game and also provide a roadmap so we know about upcoming updates?

[sinful anchor]

This is not the chat to ask about that. There's a developer active in general

[hallow plaza]

Bear set and claws

[high hamlet]

ok, sorry friend

[tired root]

Deep North update will add achievements.

And it will be the last biome sized update.

[sinful anchor]

Thats funny lol

[next flume]

is the debuff worth it tho

[sinful anchor]

Don't listen to him the bear claws suck

[hallow plaza]

If you can parry, yes

[sinful anchor]

Bronze weapons do almost double the damage

[next flume]

is the chitin knife better?

[hallow plaza]

The parry is so insanely good on bear claws,
And the 2 hit combo is really short and not a commitment

[sinful anchor]

Just go with a bronze weapon and shield

[tired root]

I love bear armor and its bonuses. If you block/parry/dodge well the weaknesses don't matter.

[hallow plaza]

I don't have 40 years to do a bronze weapon combo.

Bear stuff is fast, maneuverable, and strong for the foreseeable future, as long as you can parry

[next flume]

hm

[sinful anchor]

Lol if you build a base near water and like 3 copper nodes you can get full bronze in like 40 minutes

[hallow plaza]

Not the harvesting, the swing speed/combos

But also yeah, copper harvesting can be a trek to max

[tired root]

You can always mix up bear/troll armor pieces if you don't want the weaknesses.

[sinful anchor]

Let me put it this way. With full bear set, you do about 30-50 damage per hit after a parry. With copper axe and shield (real weapons are even better), you do 50-100 damage per hit after a parry

[hallow plaza]

One advantage of claw weapon is that the stamina cost is so low you can run 3 health foods

[sinful anchor]

The DPS on bronze is just so much better

[hallow plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/guild-wars2-gw2-guild-wars-end-of-dragons-eo-d-gif-22530689

Fastest bronze user

[tired root]

One tactic would be rushing to defeat Elder, choosing his power and using it for mining copper.

[drowsy crane]

Sounds like you have yet to discover just how good claw weapons are 🤭

[hallow plaza]

Speaking of

I'm driving myself insane trying to find a vile trophy

For my vile armor

I had to tierskip the ferris armor because of the tedium of a cultist trophy

Plains in bear armor is rough

[sinful anchor]

Trust me I've tried everything i could to make the bear claws work, bronze just does way more damage. I'm sure later in the game I'll find claws that are decent but the bear claws just suck.

[proper orbit]

That isn't true, I used Bear Claws until got Silver Sword

[hallow plaza]

Just parry lol

[drowsy crane]

This is just plain false, but maybe one day you'll figure them out

[hallow plaza]

Fastest attack animation and negligible stamina cost

[sinful anchor]

I do parry. They still don't do as much dps

[proper orbit]

Dragur are easily to kill with kicking them first then 1-2 punch them for the stagger kill, with Bear Claws

[sinful anchor]

The attack speed isnt fast enough to negate doing less than half the damage

[hallow plaza]

Ah yes, because thus game is all about standing still holding left click

[sinful anchor]

What is there to figure out?

[drowsy crane]

Stealth attacks, secondary usage, and movement between strikes making you virtually untarget-able to enemies.

[proper orbit]

With Bear Claws best way to open up is used the secondary attack it's automatically staggers

[hallow plaza]

Fists are basically guaranteed to get your "combo" off.
Costs no stamina.
Fastest animation, best parry.

[hallow plaza]

Speaking of
How do I get the knife to work.
It.just feels so bad

[sinful anchor]

Yeah... even with all of that it doesn't negate the jump from 25 damage to 40 damage

[hallow plaza]

"Bigger number ooga booga"

[drowsy crane]

I haven't done much with knives personally, but some just prefer them

[sinful anchor]

Yeah, 70 damage per second after parrying with the buckler and using bronze axe vs 45 damage per second after parrying and backstabbing with the claws is better.

[tired root]

Fist weapons have 2 hit combo, each 2nd hit dealing double damage. Secondary kick has 6x stagger multiplier which staggers even bigger dudes easily, so parrying isn't always necessary. And all attacks have 6x backstab multiplier.
One example with Vilebone Maulclaws: #memes-and-clips message

[hallow plaza]

You don't understand

The number is larger

Therefore, fists are trash

[sinful anchor]

@hallow plaza yes when the damage per second is higher, that's better. I'm not talking about base damage.

[tired root]

What number?

[sinful anchor]

Damage per second matters more than literally anything else

[hallow plaza]

https://i.redd.it/0dtvwkjk2whf1.jpeg

I agree man, don't worry, no sarcasm, big number good, hit bad man with stick

[hallow plaza]

Being facetious

[tired root]

Ah. Went over my head this time.

[drowsy crane]

#valheim-help message I always forget this clip is in that channel

So useful to explain why fists are extremely good and fun

[plain pumice]

no one using axe as weapon, brochacho

[tired root]

I use, until I get battleaxe.

[plain pumice]

https://youtu.be/BmvQ0vko6Lw

[marble roost]

I do

[glad current]

I specifically forced myself this most recent playthrough to use anything but axe since that’s my weapon of choice

[tired root]

Honestly I don't care what people think about weapons I like.

[marble roost]

Bronze axe is nice until I get bear claws or abyssal, because I don’t wnat to waste bronze on another weapon. And from there the two handed axe options are very nice

[plain pumice]

Axe is literally useless and trash until the moment when you get bronze sword. The axe is only good at the stages of the game when you walk around naked, and you only eat raspberries.

I mean, axes are needed for chopping wood, they are not suitable for battle

[glad current]

Mmkay don’t care

It doesn’t affect your personal gameplay whatsoever so why not let people play how they want to play?

[tired root]

Game is sandbox survival, no right or wrong choices.

[glad current]

I would posit that the only wrong choice is not playing

[tired root]

There are more and less effective choices.

[glad current]

Oh without doubt

[plain pumice]

Idc either tbh. I mean, i'm not axe hater, lmao. Just saying that maybe you should just use something better for your own good.
I've been running around with an axe at almost level 50 since I was in the dark forest stage, and I've never had anything against it. And then I realized that he really stands at the bottom of the "food chain" of weapons.

[marble roost]

1handed axe is for sure worse for battle than sword, imo. But far from useless. And the 2 handed variants are very good for battle

But axe also brings other benefits like saving you inventory space and resources

[plain pumice]

Cant disagree

[tired root]

Flint axe -> Bronze axe -> Battleaxe is my usual early route for axes.

[glad current]

I feel bad for the stone axe 🤣 Everyone just skips right over!

[plain pumice]

I dont understand users of 2handed weapons tbh. For me its impossible to play without a shield

[marble roost]

After failing to oneshot a 0 star deer with a stone axe sneak attack I decided to never use it again

[marble roost]

Most two handed weapons give a lot of parry armor. If you're on normal it shouldn't really be an issue

On Vhard it could definitely be an issue. But most two handed weapons make up for that by doing enough stagger damage to stagger enemeis without a parry

[glad current]

Yeah that would piss me off too! I will sometimes use one on a corpse run if I need an emergency weapon (ran out of the house without armor or gear)

[tired root]

2h weapon enjoyer here.

[marble roost]

I will say once you get the carapace buckler, that thing is tough to put down. Hella parry armor and 10 adrenaline per parry 👌

[plain pumice]

You’ll still deal more damage by stunning with a parry tho

[tired root]

Doesn't matter how they get staggered, they still take 2x damage while they are on stagger animation.

[plain pumice]

Hell no, lol.
Even shields give different parry damage rates. You're telling me your unconfirmed opinion now. The whole concept of round shields is just in these different coefficients and not even in damage absorption.

x1.5 ≠ x2.5 parry damage

For example.

[marble roost]

The parry rate isn't damage

[tired root]

It's not opinion, it's a fact.
Parry multiplier is what multiplies the block armor when successfully parrying. Enemies take always 2x damage when they are on stagger animation.

[marble roost]

Round shield: 30 block armor, 1.5x parry multiplier = when you parry, you get 30 * 1.5 = 45 parry armor (effectively making YOU take less damage when you parry)

Buckler: 20 block armor. 2.5x parry multiplier = When you parry, you get 20 * 2.5 = 50 parry armor (effectively making YOU take even less damage when you parry than with the round shield)

All staggered enemies take 2x damage while staggered, as Joel said

[plain pumice]

The fuck are you talking about. The parry bonus is a bonus to the damage that you're carrying, God forgive me.

[tired root]

No, it's the bonus for block armor.

Also, no need to be rude even if you're mistaken.

You're not the first person to mistake parry multiplier to damage, nor will be the last.

[plain pumice]

Alr, srry, but thats stupid asf

[tired root]

What is stupid? We explained how the mechanic works.

[marble roost]

I think they're just saying parry multiplier applying to block armor and not damage is stupid

But could be wrong

[plain pumice]

• not necessary at all. The most awkward and not obvious game mechanic i ever seen

[plain pumice]

Mechanics, not your explanation

[tired root]

Okay, thanks for clarifying.

But yeah, that makes bucklers better for parrying but inferior for regular blocks compared to regular shields. Plus most 2h weapons also have nice parry multiplier for parrying most non star enemies.

And in case of most 2h weapons they also have either higher damage and/or stagger multiplier to make up the lack of shield on other hand.

[hallow plaza]

Kindnof wish there were more options for fighting starred or strong enemies

"Oh look, this enemy is above my parry threshold, time for 10 minutes of hit and run"

You can dodgeroll, but the timing is the same as the parry with a fraction of the reward, and more stamina cost

[marble roost]

I felt that way a lot when I started playing on higher difficulty. But honestly, eating a lot of health food or especially playing around stagger damage staggers rather than parry staggers helps a lot

[hallow plaza]

Maybe like, a weaker attack mixed into most enemies patterns.

[marble roost]

I'm partial to fist weapons and battleaxes for staggering

[hallow plaza]

If you're doing enough dps to stagger you're already in a solid spot

[marble roost]

Fair suggestion. I know some enemies have that, like the bear

[hallow plaza]

Like, just as an example, the ice golems

[marble roost]

Well the point is it's not just dps. flesh rippers secondary only does 60 damage, but 360 stagger

[hallow plaza]

Yeah fair, I should experiment more with secondaries

An earlier introduction of weakspots on big enemies would be neat too

[marble roost]

Atgeir secondary, battleaxe primary or especially secondary, fists secondary, mace secondary

Some real good stagger potential

Just important to keep in mind that frost/poison/spirit/fire doesn't cause stagger

[hallow plaza]

My current run is fists, I really need to investigate the secondary more

Some more visual indicators of stagger would be neat too

Heavier steps, maybe a change to their stance or breathing

[marble roost]

The secondary is very low damage (same as a primary hit), but does 6x the stagger of a primary hit

Think I've staggered fuling berserkers with one kick

[hallow plaza]

I'll need to test it into loxs

Running circles is safe but slow

And iirc I can only parry them with my absolute best food

Serpent stew, misthare supreme and honey chicken

I've recently hunted ectoplasm to grind block with 4 twigs

I'm hoping the increased parry will allow me to parry seekers and soldiers

I have the teeniest stripe of mistlands, near a mountain, so I keep finding hares killed by wolves

They need to merf serpent stew

Honestly, they should just make ocean give early eitr access.

Magic is sooooo late in the game

[marble pagoda]

parrying is not well rewarded in this game -> parrying can't be too rewarding because the timing is too generous -> the timing can't be made stricter because it'd be impossible with multiplayer lag

[marble roost]

The timing also can't be made stricter because it's not all 18 year old reflex gods that play the game, but a lot of people of varying skill and physical capabilities

[marble pagoda]

ehh you can certainly make it stricter within reason
most enemies besides the charred swordsman and maybe golem telegraph their attacks 3 business days ahead

then you join your buddies and enemies start moonwalking all over the place

and it doesn't matter how good your reflexes are anymore

okay at least that. If villages respawned regularly that would've been the death for my poor wolf armored viking

I can't even clear one in one day ^^

grab one, it multiplies extremely quickly

[light shore]

you mean the guitars? Bc it's true for those as well

nah I think I've gotten rid of most of teh folks at this village I was attacking, there shouldn't be many left

[crystal kiln]

what weapon are you using?

[light shore]

iron axe and iron mace paired with a silver shield and the draugr fang for ranged attacks

[crystal kiln]

so your melee weapons are two biomes behind
may I introduce you to our lord and saviour Frostner?

[hallow plaza]

Pick some other stuff to hunt in the black forest amd get them by proxy

Stockpile blueberries and thistles
Look for crypts for ectoplasm to make twigs.
Search for haldor
Look for mountains for later

I'm having the same struggle with the vile trophy.
I had to skip the mountain tier because cultists don't spawn except in dungeons

Also, yeah get a frostner if you can't get a blackmetal weapon inside 2 hours

[crystal kiln]

frostner is a monster of a weapon and serves you well even in later biomesdue to its ridiculous dmg spread

[light shore]

Oh I've only now unlocked it, never touched that ymir flesh before

Gonna build one then

[crystal kiln]

note, that weapon has insane knockback

if you arent careful smaller enemies are knocked out of your combo
parry into special should oneshot regular fulings tho

[light shore]

I'll probably leave the mace at home then and take the froster and a sword or axe with me

[steep tusk]

Sword strong.

[fathom badge]

Sword is solid and great for fighting, but the axe is a multitool. Depends on how you want to manage your inventory or if you're worried about collecting wood and such while out.

[abstract eagle]

I vote Porcupine. Fulings and other things fly far .. and the satisfaction of catching deathsquito with an uppercut move is priceless

[crystal kiln]

i recommend having both given durability is somewhat of a factor

[fathom badge]

Enough upgrades and durability is rarely a concern, at least for me 😉 But it's just a decision you can make when balancing your inventory vs. your combat capabilities

[hallow plaza]

does hitting multiple enemies level skills faster?

[strange pond]

Anyone use controller on PC, I’ve been having issues with my Xbox controller working. Only some buttons work. I’ve tried everything with that’s is suggested on the internet

[orchid scarab]

Look at the wiki page for skills. It will tell you EXACTLY what earns XP.

[thorn spire]

sadly no. It's xp per attack with your weapon.

[olive ocean]

🤔

[orchid scarab]

RudeMann87 is correct. Sevrahn is wrong.

Went to edit the image, but the screenshot channel has a 1 hour slowmode. 🫠

I'll just PM it

1.5 XP per swing, on the condition it hits an enemy. Doesn't matter how many enemies it hits.

Do Axes just use slash damage and swing speed to determine their chopping ability (on top of your woodchopping skill)? I'd be curious on the relative chopping ability of all axes, battleaxes, and dual axes or if it's just a straight line through the tiers of content

[frosty frost]

They should use chop dmg, not slash dmg for woodcutting

[orchid scarab]

Not listed on the weapon

[marble pagoda]

lmao imagine how fast you could level against infinitely spawning greydwarfs

if exp counted multihit

[frosty frost]

Yeah, that stat is normally hidden in game, but you can see a reference to it on Yags power iirc

[orchid scarab]

Alright. Maybe the wiki has it.

[frosty frost]

Yep, it does

[marble pagoda]

yeah chop is a separate stat, so is pickaxe
wiki has it
they're slightly different scaling but are damage types nonetheless

🤔 does Elder increase your dmg to stone golems i have't tried
it should surely

[orchid scarab]

I just want to carry the lightest, but most efficient axe.

[marble pagoda]

unfortunately the best axe is Ashlands by a heck of a margin

[orchid scarab]

It's spreadsheet time

[marble pagoda]

i would say the 1-2 weight difference is worth carrying a battleaxe if you intend to use it as your main weapon

i think the 2h axes are much better weapons than 1h

[orchid scarab]

Depends on the chop damage per second to me

[marble pagoda]

ah okay you just care about woodcutting?

you'll also wanna factor in stamina efficiency perhaps
its an extremely difficult thing to calc if you are cutting trees in a low number of hits because the damage threshold matters a lot

for example at max skill with endgame axes you can shred a birch tree with 1 secondary and a couple jump slashes
i think somewhere around the 5th biome you can start oneshotting stumps with middle click

the easy solution is to just max out a bronze axe early on and use the fk out of it :D

[frosty frost]

Then ashlands berserkir axes i would say, same weight as previous metal 1-h axes and does more chop dmg than amy of them

[marble pagoda]

yeah those things are absurdly better than every other axe in the game, if not every melee weapon

if you're at endgame use those

[orchid scarab]

Difference in weight is pretty neglible. 2.0 vs 2.5

[rancid sigil]

is there a way to use the console commands to change the environment for all players? it currently only does it for me. idk if it counts as a dedicated server but i just host it on my pc, so is it even possible?

[tacit breach]

I think you need a mod for it to work server wide.

[vapid brook]

Is there a way to view my coordinates on the map? Or do I need a mod for that

[tacit breach]

Mod. Maybe dev commands.

[tired root]

Having Debugmode enabled can show coordinates when pinging map.

[barren rivet]

anyone else having trouble recently with steelseries GG or other capture apps not recording moments for valheim?

[somber mason]

I am having such a hard time rn. Valheim keeps crashing on startup. Itll get right before you actually load into the main menu and then it crashes. This is happening on Vanilla. I reinstalled the game and have tried to verify game files to no avail.

[unique merlin]

Just came back to Valehim after a year or more... my building is not right, my friends snapping is how I remember (smooth and can connect walls properly etc.) but my snapping is completely broken. I cant connect walls, theres always a gap and I have a really rough grid and dont have the smooth shift mode working. Anyone know what this might be?
He's made a Valheim Plus server, not sure if my characters broken or something?

just had to press F7 sorry!

[split musk]

f7 toggles the 'snapping' ? i didn't know

[lapis terrace]

sounds like a mod thing

[hallow plaza]

Press q to go from auto snapping to the presets?

[clear helm]

Hey, quick question about Vineberry.
I planted them on my plot and the vines have grown, but no fruits are showing up, even after a long time.
On your plot they seem to grow fruit normally, so I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m missing a requirement (placement, biome, light, etc.).
Could you let me know if there’s anything specific I should check?

[drowsy crane]

They grow much slower outside of the Ashlands

[humble crescent]

the like tall stone walls the best it seems

I think we debated if they did better near fire too

[west geyser]

does anybody know how the screen rotation works on hildirs map table when playing no map? does it point to the nearest one always regardless of what boss it is? or does it point to a burial chamber one first? does it change direction once you have defeated the one it was pointing to previously?

[marble roost]

No clue, in the little no map I played I just considered hildrs table near-useless

[ashen abyss]

How do I find my seed? Because it says Yagluth in in a certain area but it lied and is just a goblin camp.

[humble crescent]

if you are playing solo, it's on the world screen, right before you enter the game

[steep tusk]

If your world was made before the combat patch, then the bosses moved.

[full mesa]

You'll mostly just find them by accident lol

[barren rivet]

I can tell you mine is pointing to the 3rd chest, because I built right next to the tower and can see it from my bedroom. I have not done it yet. So it’s either whichever one is closest or reverse order. I’m going to do it in the near future, I’ll let you know if it’s still points to it after I clear it.

[lost nymph]

Sooo is anyone using OdinsHorse mod? When I get on my horse it randomly goes where it wants... frustrating boogers lol

[stoic trench]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966
could try asking here, I’m sure someone uses it

[west geyser]

thank you 🙂

[brittle pewter]

I apologize if this is answered elsewhere but I am trying to keep the game as unspoiled as possible and as such I am trying to avoid reading too many posts.

When new biomes are implemented (such as the upcoming deep north biome) will it be necesary to start a new game or will it show up in existing saves?

[quasi vault]

It is not and will load in normally as you get near it as long as it hasn't been previously explored

As long as you haven't been north in the deep north or on the edge, you will be able to enjoy the deep north content without any issue

[brittle pewter]

Oh wonderful! Thank you so much!

Stop using commands I guess? 😅

[sinful anchor]

Why tf did you think it was a good idea to spawn a thousand boars 😭

[wicked rapids]

I wanted a 100

[barren rivet]

the very sad conclusion is that hildir's map seems to still just point to the closest poi even though i already turned in the chest 🙁 rip no map enjoyers.

[humble crescent]

yeah, I don't think I've ever finished her quests. I wouldn't bother in a no-map/no-portal

[subtle parrot]

Use killall command lol

[raw moat]

Any tips on finding hildir? Been struggling a bit.

[abstract eagle]

I found her consistently in the meadows that is close to plains. In three seeds so far.

[raw moat]

Ok I see I’ve been lookin in the wrong place lol

[halcyon crest]

would someone like to introduce me to the world of balehim modding

[marble roost]

In #mods-discussion there might be

[nocturne granite]

I literally sent my cousin $350 to help get a new gen xbox just to play Valheim and get good frames to only be confronted with a game pass plan when he starts our server. Why in the blue F is it doing this?

Ridiculous Ive been waiting to do this for months and the minute is here and we cant play and its only Valheim doing it. Fix your damn game

[olive ocean]

have you looked online to see if others have the same inquiry

[nocturne granite]

Nope I shouldnt have to. Gamepass has nothing to do with starting a server

Hes game sharing with his brother who has ultimate and he just got the xbox 6 hours ago Im thinking it hasnt synced yet but still gamepass has nothing to do with a server

[eternal wing]

This sounds really weird and ought to be fixed, but can you start the server yourself and have him join in the meantime?

[nocturne granite]

Nope I tried to get him to join my world and it popped up the same thing

[manic gyro]

This has nothing to do with valheim. You need the minimum gamepass plan (core i think) at least to play any game online

[nocturne granite]

Yeah it does I know what Im talking about Im not confused. He has game pass ultimate. Valheim does not need gamepass to start a server.

All he did was get a new xbox we played on his server before there should be nothing different Valheim is the only game doing it and we tested this by having him try to install a gamepass game so his xbox recognizes the gamepass but Valehim doesnt. Thats a Valeheim problem bud

[manic gyro]

You said he is gamepass sharing with his brother? How?

[nocturne granite]

Its called Game Sharing. By signing in to the persons account with the bought games and gamepass active you can make the xbox your home xbox and then when you sign out you go back to your account and the accounts are bound. You only get 5 times a year to change it with different people

The games and the gamepass carry over been doing it for years

[manic gyro]

Ok, yes I know the process, jsut wanted to be sure we are talking about the same thing. So is he sure his brother made the new xbox his home console?

[nocturne granite]

Well he got his brothers info and made his new xbox my home xbox under his brothers account and then signed back in to his after he signed out of his brothers.

[manic gyro]

Sounds right

[nocturne granite]

It happened before when he first downloaded it on the old xbox but it didnt even let him in to the game without popping up the 3 choices for gamepass

Then it just fixed itself

But this time it happened when he tried to press RT to start the server

[manic gyro]

Is he sure he can play other online or gamepass ultimate games? not just install game pass games? Because I'm pretty sure valheim itself does not check for gamepass, I'm almost certain that's a popup shown by the xbox/microsoft itself

Does he or his brother actually own valheim? It's possible that the last time he played valheim was still included in gamepass, which it is not anymore

If you confirmed that it is indeed only valheim that is not working, maybe ask in #xbox-bugs-discussion

[west geyser]

thanks so much for checking this for me, i guess i will just continue searching the old fashioned way 😄

[old fern]

Hi, I joined to this discord to ask this: Is there any news about the price when 1.0 will be launched? I have it on PC, but I want to play it on PS5 (My PC does not really meat the requirements) and I am sure that I have to buy it once more, but I am afraid it will be much expensive.

[abstract ravine]

Can anyone help? Why is the swamp biome so laggy? I only have 2GB VRAM, but I can play at 1080p high settings smoothly. However, every time I enter a swamp, the game becomes extremely laggy—even when I switch to 720p on the lowest settings, it doesn't get any smoother

[wicked rapids]

I did after the boar drown me

eat 3 meat foods, cooked boar, deer, bear, or as much health as you can get, health potions, if your health is low just walk around and heal. elder is far easier than things waiting for you in the swamp, best to learn now how to fight

[pallid glacier]

Hi Im new and wanted to play valheim but I always get mikro lags on that game and I dont know why. I have r7 5800x and rx9060xt 16gb and 16gb ddr4

[nocturne granite]

@manic gyro His brother owns it. It wasnt on gamepass when I started playing before him I just played it in October for the first time. Then we started playing around December 14th ish

Janos did you change your graphic settings to performance?

[hallow plaza]

Can I train sneak with Twig?

[pallid glacier]

No but I will try it now

[manic gyro]

But you own the game yourself and your xbox is not involved in the game sharing with his brother at all, right? (because his brother cannot share his games/gamepass with more than one person simultaneously. You probably know that, I'm just trying to rule out every possible cause that comes to mind)

[nocturne granite]

I purchased the game and his brother bought the game

Ive never game shared with either of them yet. But we are gonna try it again when he gets on to see if it just needed time to recognize the game share

But to be fair we tried it like 4 hours after he connected the accounts

[manic gyro]

Then I'm sorry a wasted your time. I'm out of ideas. Try asking in #xbox-bugs-discussion if the issue persists, hopefully you'll get better help there.

[manic gyro]

It's been a while since I've done that, so maybe they changed something, but it used to be pretty much instantaneous of I remember correctly.
(just as a minor side note: the accounts are not linked/connected in any way, it's just that all accounts on a person's home xbox can play that person's games. It's linked to the device)

[nocturne granite]

Yeah I realize that. Maybe I might have to just have him double check that my home xbox thing because when he set up his new xbox last night and he signed in to his bros account it asked him if he wanted it to make that his home xbox and he did it that way. Now Im thinking it may have not registered correctly from that specific pop up window

[cyan monolith]

Hi guys, how do I open the developer console on Xbox? lb+rb+menu doesn't help. Maybe I need to enable something first?

You need to enable it in the settings

[deep pebble]

if i have the wolf sight (+20 bow skill) and i have level 100 bow skill, will that overcap to give me the effects of a 120 bow skill? or is it hard capped at 100

[wispy turtle]

My buddy gifted me a code foe the game through the Xbox store and it wont let me redeem it because we're in different regions. Is there a way to fix this?

[tired root]

Skill levels don't overcap.

[next flume]

i happened to accidentaly trap a wolf while mining copper and i tamed it. its a 0 star wolf but how good is it and what should i do with it?

[stoic trench]

They’re handy to keep around your base for defense, if you’re able to get a second that is.

[tired root]

It kills greydwarves quickly but doesn't stand a chance against troll/bear.

Alone at least.

[next flume]

i guess thats right but their AI is kinda weird it runs away from it then gets stuck sometimes. is it worth getting another one? and can you give some tips cus it took like 20 minutes to tame that one.

[next flume]

i saw 2 kill a bear one time.

[stoic trench]

In my opinion yeah, they don’t take much effort to tame. If you’re still early in the game, you generally still have to endure the 20 minute timer. Best tip I can give is to just get it over with

[tired root]

Hence my additional "alone".

[next flume]

they do a lot of damage but have low health

[stoic trench]

They’re little glass cannons, yeah

[next flume]

do u got any tips for base place and build suggestions? the closest swamp to me is so far away and building in the black forest is not good and gonna just get it destroyed.

[stoic trench]

I would probably recommend building in the meadows. Usually the swamp is your first biome you have to voyage to, so it’s pretty typical for them to be far away. Bring a Karve and supplies for a portal

[next flume]

alright. the karve is so annoying to control. is so slow 😭

[marble pagoda]

karve is extremely dependent on wind

if you want to control in tight spaces, use the paddle (make sure there's only 1 ^ arrow instead of 3)

[drowsy crane]

Fun fact, it'd only take 6 additional minutes to cross the map in a Karve compared to the fastest ship(Longship).

The difference is slight.

[gusty knot]

Not sure if this is a spoiler so I'm going to cover it just in case lol but Does anyone have any tips on how to ||make a fortress door usable without it being such a huge vulnerability?||

[tacit breach]

I don't know, aside from I never destroy it in the first place. I've never had it attacked.

[plush pier]

Maybe for somebody who can Keep the Karve in a straight line in the ocean xD
The moment Im in a karve in the ocean I struggle to keep it straight jajaja

Thats why Karve is nice in Rivers, Longship is nice in Ocean

[last osprey]

dig a pit right in front of it, then cover it with floors that have less durability than your gates (so basic wood most likely). Worst case your enemies destroy some floor tiles and block the entrance entirely until you clear them out and repair it.

[gusty knot]

I wanted to use a|| fortress as an Askvin breeding pen|| which is why I need a usable door lol

[gusty knot]

That's an interesting idea, I'll try it. Thanks!

[tacit breach]

I just put a ladder over the wall, so go in and out that way.

Maybe get eggs elsewhere, then put them inside of it.

[glad current]

I tried using one for that purpose and somehow my asksvin phased through the walls and got attacked by a dvergr.

[marble pagoda]

creatures can clip through walls when they hatch from eggs
big annoyance with chickens bc those eggs are so small

[tacit breach]

Seems like a lot of the things we tame can phase through walls. Most notably chickens.

[marble pagoda]

but also creatures can climb each other and spill out very very easily

[tacit breach]

Yeah, lox and wolves.

[hollow jackal]

I just teleported back to the swamp and there is a 2 star draugr under my tower, what can i do? It is in front of the door lol

[marble roost]

kill it

If you're not feeling too confident in your combat skills, kill it from a distance with arrows or bombs

[next flume]

im so unlucky 😭 the leviathan started shaking on the first hit

[orchid scarab]

No shortage of leviathans.

[next flume]

Yh but early game its pretty hard getting to them cus the damn wind is blowing the opposite direction 90% of the time and were cooked at night or rain in the ocean 😭

[marble roost]

Cooked because of serpents?

[next flume]

Never crossed paths with them. But they do look scary. Idk how dangerous they are tho

[orchid scarab]

I would love more serpents. Need some trophies for bait

[last osprey]

As long as you have a finewood bow and a stack of wooden arrows you're good for serpents. Just set your rudder to go in a gentle circle at half sail and you can kill it before it gets into melee range.
The most important thing is to not panic and destroy your own boat trying to hit. You've got time, even a karve will last a decent number of hits if you don't add your own damage to the mobs.

[gaunt bane]

there a vanilla way to see more around a boat then what you do fully zoomed out on PC?

[limpid atlas]

Is there any way I can give away world files?

[humble crescent]

yeah, that should work

[plush pier]

World files are 2 files
worldFileName.db
worldFileName.fwl
If you use steam then the standard location is
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

I dont know how cloud saving and all that handles world files...
But thats where my world files are ❤️

[orchid scarab]

TWIGs give you 100% of the XP for using weapons or blocking, right?

Unlike the archery target which I know reduces it significantly

Thought TWIGs would be an easy setup for blocking training. Might set that up.

[livid mortar]

They're great if you can afford more than 1. Equip the iron brooch, eat an item or two of food, then just stand at rock-throwing range and you're set.

[humble crescent]

place a campfire nearby, probably best would be build an indoor training area right? so you can rest while beating on TWIG?

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, rested bonus grants +50 experience gain.

[humble crescent]

I was thinking the stamina would regen faster if you are resting

[honest nymph]

i been playing for a grand total of 45 minutes, and i cannot use the workbench because it keeps saying it's not covered enough. i have 4 walls in a u shape, two small walls in front of it, and a thatch roof on top of it. could anyone tell me the way they easily cover their workbench?

[stoic trench]

Hmm can you provide a screenshot?

[honest nymph]

it wont let me

unless you want it in dms

[stoic trench]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 try here

[honest nymph]

alright

[stoic trench]

Might need a bigger space for it- like a 4m x 4m structure.

Ah, yeah that’s pretty small 🤔

[honest nymph]

alright, ill try that

[drowsy crane]

The screenshot you provided, it doesn't look like you used snap points for the rooftop and the walls along the edges are a bit too close.

[honest nymph]

im not sure which thing was the issue, but i moved the walls back a bit and used snap points for the roof and it worked. thank you both

[drowsy crane]

There's detection points/lines shooting out from the workbench that looks for walls/rooftops, there's a chance some things won't be detected if they're too close.

[elfin bobcat]

is there a way to lock items in an inventory? if so what's the key bind?

There is not

[unique saddle]

Can anyone help with fixing the micro stuttering in Valheim? There seems to be boundaries so many meters you go in game, once you cross it the game loads assets for the next like small section of map and the instances jump around which cause a stutter, its slight but i am sensitive to it and its ruining my experience with the game. Unfortunately i have built my base right on one of these boundaries. I have a Ryzen 9 5900 X, 32 gig ram and a 4070 Ti Super. normally i run the game locked at 144 fps and its steady but once i hit these zones i get this stutter. is that just normal for this game or is there a way to fix it?

also the game is on a PCI-e SSD

[unique saddle]

Found out they are chunk lines that I'm crossing. Built my base right on a damn corner. Sigh.

[lapis terrace]

we have some fixes comming when we can update the game engine that might help with some of those micro-stutters (some comes form exesive fires burning)

[gusty onyx]

I found vsync to be my main culprit for massive stuttering

got so fed up with stutters so tried to change one setting a time and as soon as I disabled vsync it was gone

not sure if me using a g-sync monitor has anything to do with it

I'm also driver limiting my fps to my monitors refresh rate

I'm still not fully utilising my 5070Ti as my FPS is dropping along with the GPU utilisation

The CPU, a 7800X3D, is mostly at around 25-30% utilisation max. Haven't had a look at the per core use yet.

with graphics maxed looking at my base I'm at 105fps and GPU is at 25%, but if I look away at something else I get 165 (my cap) and utilisation jumps to 45%

[next flume]

What kind of gear do you need to go in the crypts or whatever called in the swamp's dungeon? And is there any other way to obtain iron but the crypts?

[compact heath]

Yes you can get iron outside crypts but it is harder, level 3 bear or troll set and poison mead and good black forest food made with carrots etc like deer stew and good bronze weapon (can name examples) is all you need

[next flume]

Gimme some names of weapons. Is the abyssal razer good enough? But can you also tell me about foods in the black forest? I haven't really gotten into food variety and cooking.

[compact heath]

abyssal razor is more than good enough if you pair with bronze buckler level 2 or 3 - also food is super powerful, have you got carrots, a cultivator etc to grow them, deer stew, carrot soup, mince meat sauce, and the jam whatever its called that sorta food made in a level 1 cauldron built with 10 tin

the abyssal razor is kinda an OP early game weapon, can get it after first boss and its a biome 3 kinda weapon so much more powerful then some bronze weapons in some way

its basically the swamp tier knife

[next flume]

Ok thanks appreciate that, I did find some carrots so ig I'll search more about it.

[compact heath]

if you have a cultivator made with bronze, you can grow them, need it for most of the black forest foods

also need carrots for the new swamp food upgrade and another swamp seed thing (spoilery if I say too much)

if you want to be even more overpowered in the swamp, make a bronze mace and a bronze atgeir if you have enough bronze left

[lapis terrace]

it's because Valheim is CPU heavy and not GPU bound

[gusty onyx]

yep, noticed that. Any progress on better using modern CPUs?

I know Unity is not the best at it... most of my Unity games kind of struggle

[lapis terrace]

um. not really

I would say get faster RAM, but with these prices..

[gusty onyx]

already at 6000

[lapis terrace]

and valheim will will most likly always struggle when you go past 12000-16000 instances

[gusty onyx]

and with the x3d cpus ram usually makes no difference

[lapis terrace]

6000 CL.. ?

[gusty onyx]

30

[lapis terrace]

ah

[gusty onyx]

got the amd recommended set that testers used

[lapis terrace]

I've managed to bump +80 FPS totally. going from 6000MT/s, CL 32, CL30, CL28

so atm 6000MT/s and CL28

but.. those are like more expensive than a lambo atm

[gusty onyx]

yep

[lapis terrace]

I think they have solved the issue with past 6000MT/s ram speed. but like you said yourself, X3D don't really care to much about Ram speed

[gusty onyx]

I guess most of it is thread optimization at this point

[silk storm]

what dors the continuous music setting mean

[tired root]

It keeps the soundtracks playing continously when enabled. If you disable them it should play them just once, including POI soundtracks IIRC.

[silk storm]

i should keep it on ?

[tired root]

I think it's on by default.

[silk storm]

it seems better to keep it on by how you described it

[silk storm]

yea it is

[tired root]

It's up to you, if you like to hear game music constantly.

ive been trying to eliminate the stutter in this game for months, its impossible. Best bet is try to ignore it, the more i focused on it the more i tried to fix it the more hopeless it felt. I did learn a ton about game optimization / setup in the process though, so theres that. TLDR: Unit engine is dog shit and these devs are just as dog shit, so everytime any new assets load you get unavoidable framespikes, as high as 50ms sometimes even on completely vanilla game with medium to low settings on a 5080 i9 13900k ddr5 build. Do NOT trust the in game FPS/Frame coutner, its a fucking liar. I can play games like Cyberpunk and RDR2 on fully maxxed settings 4k 144fps locked with zero frame time spiking, but this game is optmized by a team of monkeys. I'm praying that 1.0 brings massive optmization to asset loading but I doubt it, its only gotten worse every new release, ive heard.

[subtle parrot]

Name calling is unnecessary though

[noble charm]

Taking 200 million in profit and walking away from an unfinished product is also, unnecessary, though.

[tired root]

They have not walked away, they are working on the 1.0 update which probably contains some optimizations and bug fixes too like previous big updates have.

Also, you can read what Early Access mean. You buy the game at the state it's published.

[sinful anchor]

This is genuinely a skill issue. Get better hardware.

[tired root]

You can give conscrutive feedback and report bugs/issues, namecalling won't help your case.

[plush pier]

Your Vulgarity removes the credibility of any of those statements my friend

[sinful anchor]

Well guys there's also just the fact that his "unavoidable" problems are due to garbage hardware

I'm on a very mid level pc and haven't experienced any stuttering or frame drops

Lol he might also just need to update his video drivers or restart his pc

[plush pier]

There is a stutter that is unique to certain setups, its not about how good or bad the GPU is. Sorta a roll of the dice thing. I dont know what the actual cause is but Ive seen other people explain that issue and it seems to be based on a certain kind of hardware, not the strength so to speak

Dhakhar has mentioned that stutter to me, particularly around certain builds. I havent experienced it myself though. I just experience a save stutter

[marble pagoda]

horrific take buddy
chunk loading is just like that, particularly in Ashlands because each POI is 2-3k instances

[sinful anchor]

Ah fair enough I haven't made it that far yet

[marble pagoda]

then you shouldn't speak out of ignorance

[plush pier]

Oooh thats a good point... maybe hes moving into a new zone and seeing the load of that stutter

[sinful anchor]

Well the way he worded it was like it was happening throughout the whole game, and the fact that he's calling the entire game garbage and saying it's been given up on leads me to believe that he hasn't made it past the swamp, if not even less than that

[marble pagoda]

for me (5800x3d 3080ti, sn850), instance loading in new chunks usually is pretty smooth and gradual but terrain (POIs) is a problem
it tries to do everything in one frame which causes stutters when you move in and out of render distance
idk
structural calcs can also cause insane CPU load because its done per frame, but there's ways to mitigate that with mods

the game probably could benefit greatly from optimization so I hope they tinker away at it post 1.0

[sinful anchor]

I will say the one thing that's thrown me off the most is the seemingly random damage I take

I understand theres some variation in the damage, like say base damage is 50, they might hit for 42 or 58 or whatever

[plush pier]

?

[sinful anchor]

But I've had times where a mob will do 10 damage one hit, then like 60 the next hit

Died several times to that

[plush pier]

I havent noticed that personally
Unless a piece of armor was destroyed by that 10 damage hit, then it makes sense

Odd

[sinful anchor]

Nah i was looking for that

It is very odd lol, its the only thing I dont like about the game so far

[noble charm]

Sure it wasnt a draugir or something sniping you from behind? cant say ive noticed that

[marble pagoda]

incoming damage is not always obvious in this game
took me awhile to figure out where skeleton archers were in my first 30 minutes in the game
its also very sensitive to your armor value

so yea could be a starred draugr archer or some bullshit

[plush pier]

Im trying to imagine what situation that happens in.
Maybe another mob using ranged like Tyrf said
Or maybe you observed a mob using different attacks

[sinful anchor]

No I've mostly had it happen against swarms of greydwarfs lol

[plush pier]

They do throw a lot of rocks

[tired root]

There are damage range for enemy mobs too, plus most of them also suffer from MTP so if they hit at trees/ground/other targets and you, the damage gets split.

[noble charm]

do mobs do more dmg when they hit us from behind? Maybe that it (if its the case)

[marble pagoda]

I don't think players have backstab vulnerability

[sinful anchor]

I position myself so only one or two can hit me at once, so it's not that im getting hit in the back or hit by 10 of them at once

[tired root]

No they don't.

[sinful anchor]

And like normally they only do 1-9 damage to me, but once in a while even if im not staggered one of them will smash me for like 40 damage

[marble pagoda]

players also don't take double dmg from stagger either so that's not it

[plush pier]

Ooooh thats a good point so maybe like
The greydwarf swings, a nearby tree eats the hit, and then the player gets a little hit

[marble pagoda]

you sure its not a random greydwarf brute? those mfs hit pretty hard

[true steeple]

Enemy damage variance is 100-86%

[sinful anchor]

Yeah I'm sure. I should have clipped it so I could show you guys what I'm talking about

Ill do my best to explain it in one long message tho

[tired root]

Also if you are using full bear armor set you have slight weaknesses to all physical damage types.

[marble pagoda]

yeah if you're wearing bear armor you will get fucking nuked

[noble charm]

doesnt sound like hes taking more dmg all the time, just sometimes

[sinful anchor]

Basically I walked into the black forest, found some ruins, like 5 greydwarfs walked around the corner and started chasing me. All of my gear was max durability as I had just left my base. As I was fighting them, I shit you not, another 10 greydwarfs started running at me from further in the forest. I specifically checked for any shamans or brutes so I knew if I had a chance at beating all of them, and didn't see any. There also weren't any starred greydwarfs. There weren't any trees or anything nearby (I take note of that as i don't like my damage being split), and only 1-2 of them were ever hitting me at the same time. I killed about 3 of them with all of their damage being normal (1-9 damage per hit on me), then I got hit twice for like 38 and 44 damage and died. I always keep an eye around me to make sure nothing sneaks up, so it wasn't a brute or anything, it was the normal greydwarfs.

And no I wasn't wearing bear armor, I had a bronze helmet with leather armor

[noble charm]

my money is on hidden skeleton archer in a bush, personally

[marble pagoda]

agreed lol
