[dusk radish]

how do i make sure my boat stays there i feel like its gonna float away and theres no anchor system other than just stopping it

[subtle parrot]

It won't float away

[marble roost]

It won't float away. It feels like it will, but it won't

Only potential danger is if it's on very shallow water, a storm could cause it to go up and down hitting against the ground, damaging it. Or mobs could come by and hit it, potentially destroying it

BUT, that stuff will only happen if you're nearby and it's rendered in, and generally isn't a huge risk unless you leave it for a long time

If it does break it'll also drop its materials, though they'll eventually despawn

[dusk radish]

i literally got off and stood on it for a little and it started floating away

while in neutral

[subtle parrot]

Or possibly slide deeper into the watter

[marble roost]

*it won't float away while you are NOT on it

It will float away while you ARE on it

Game basically anchors it when you get off. invisible anchor

You can even check it out by going full speed, then jumping off. It will stop as though it hit a wall

[subtle parrot]

If you jump off and get back on with the ladder and don't use the rudder afaik it should continue to stay anchored

[full mesa]

The valheim'ing

[gentle badge]

hey i just bought a sever through pine, is there any way i can change modifiers like resource modifier or portal modifiers?

[strange sky]

I finally made it to Bonemass, but the Witch hut is literally 50 yards away from the giant skull. If I start this fight, is it gonna affect the Witch at all?

[marble roost]

The witch will be fine

Sounds cool though

Only danger is that if you struggle to kill bonemass, it may be tough to go to the witches hut until you've managed to conquer him

[strange sky]

Nah I play on very easy mode and have had no issues so far. Just worried that AoE damage or something might affect the Witch is all

[compact heath]

that will be a question for your 3rd party hosting provider pine, maybe someone in #dedicated-server has used them and knows this question

[woeful star]

I don't think the witch can be killed anyway so you're good 🙂

[plain yarrow]

Is the new update already out for consoles? I'm on xbox and its still 0.221.04

[woeful star]

Yes, it is. Did you ever join the Valheim Public Test Beta through the insider hub?

[plain yarrow]

I did, as far as I know. Should still be there unless it kicked me out or something

[subtle parrot]

You will need to go into the hub and disable the ptb and then restart your xbox, then it should either automatically update or you may have to click the game to initiate the process

[plain yarrow]

Yes I'm still in the public test

[subtle parrot]

They pushed the update to live so it isn't on the ptb

[plain yarrow]

Ah that explains it

It worked, thank you kindly

[languid bison]

I just build the automatic Boar Farm from Zergar. Now my question:
I only get 3 piglets at once. I also know that there is that 5 wtithin 10 meter limit. Does that mean 5 boars in total or 5 piglets?

[thorn spire]

the breeding limits include animals at any stage of life.

so in this case, both boars and piglets.

[languid bison]

Alright
Thank you :)

[hallow plaza]

Autofarms don't work anymore?

[languid bison]

They still work. It just was my first autofarm. So I wasn't sure about the number of piglets I could expect

[hallow plaza]

what are we calling an autofarm here?

the autofarm I'm referring to can fire out a piglet every 5 minutes indefinitely

[languid bison]

Yeah, I do to

[hallow plaza]

Can you send me a link

I tried to build one a few weeks ago and no dice

[languid bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EEFQYD4fM8

I used this one

[hallow plaza]

so this is working for you, the boars can eat, and the piglets dont get stuck?

[languid bison]

Yeah. It works very well for me. I build it earlier and haven't had any problems

Only thing I changed was
He used 8 1x1 Cage Walls and I replaced it with 2 2x2 Cage Walls

I don't now it it has any effect mechanically, I just wanted to save some iron

[steep tusk]

Oh you will never stop needing iron 😁

[languid bison]

Yeah... On the world I have with a friend I had to cage the Eitr Refinery. So much iron down the drain D:

[steep tusk]

Why not just use Marble?

[marble roost]

Marble is da way

Sometimes iron looks nice for just the front part

or bronze, rather

[last osprey]

I just put mine in the basement of one of those abandoned dvergr towers. It's already made of marble and eitr-proof

[steep tusk]

It's the dverger stuff just copper?

[languid bison]

Because I asked him do you want the safety thing around it pretty or functional, he said pretty. Then I said we need marble, and he said he changed his mind to functional xD

[marble roost]

You rite. It always looks more bronzey to me but maybe that's just me

[steep tusk]

Should have made him get marble so he knows to think before answering next time 😉

[stone epoch]

What commands would I run on a test world if I wanted an island with no trees/rocks/prefabs etc and no monsters on it? I have the island already.

[marble roost]

Forcedelete? Idk

[faint osprey]

Theres a command to spawn a big flat circle "location devground2 SAVE" and "location devground1 SAVE" for a smaller one

[stone epoch]

How big is 'big' though

[faint osprey]

about 36 meters across

[steep tusk]

It's not the size of the meters that matters...

[stone epoch]

Ah, yeah thats small for my testing purposes

[merry seal]

Hey guys, hope you can help me. Me and a friend used to play online, he hosted the server on his PC, I joined on my Xbox. Since Sunday I can't connect to his server anymore. Either it says no connection possible, the game crashes or I spawn in an empty world. I see him on the map, as well as all of our markings, however there's nothing in the world, no trees, no enemies, nothing. Theres a symbol blinking in the top left corner (a cable with a red X) and after about 60 seconds I'm kicked out again. We both have version 221.10 and we both deleted and re-installed the game already. Anyone who could help?

[frosty frost]

You can put multiple together 🙂

[subtle comet]

I have problem since latest update: Mouse scroll no longer works in game; ie. can't zoom perspective, can't rotate build pieces, can't zoom on map. Mouse3 works however (so I can SPARTA!-greylings at least!)

Win10, Logitech 502x
mods: yes. tested with active, tested with disabled - no joy.

I have reset controls, unplugged mouse and re-plugged it, updated drivers, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled drivers, tried another mouse - All to no avail: Still no scrolling in game. Am I alone in this? Has anyone had this issue before and fixed it? plz halp, want to viking.

[cross post from #general ]

[subtle parrot]

#valheim-help message you might check this conve from a couple days ago someone else had this issue

They were also on win10

[subtle comet]

yeah that one continued in DMs sadly. :/

[subtle parrot]

Ah sorry, you could try asking macarbre, very helpful for technical stuff

[tacit breach]

You usually need Smiffe to summon him. At least, as far as I have seen., He has showed up on his own at times.

[barren canopy]

HOW DOES A BEE HIVE WORK?

[subtle parrot]

You need a queen bee and 10 wood, and then every few days you get 4 honey

[marble roost]

Just make sure the beehive isn't too close to anything, and make sure its outdoors

[tacit breach]

I usually put them on my roof. Helps me increase my run and jump skills when I empty them.

[hollow jackal]

any tips on what to do against a two star draugr archer in sunken crypts? Every shot he does is like 80 damage and hard stagger

[barren canopy]

do bees bite me when i take it

[tacit breach]

Poison you, so best to get them with a bow or spear.

[subtle parrot]

Not when it's built by you

[barren canopy]

okay thanks

[tired notch]

What have you encountered in the swamps so far?

[marble roost]

Parry him (with bronze buckler, for example) then retaliate

[true steeple]

if it's too strong to parry, just roll

[tacit breach]

Block with a shield, or kill with Stagbreaker while hiding around a corner. You don't want to completely remove mud piles until you deal with such issues. So use the mud to keep them contained.

[marble roost]

Make sure to eat good food. I recommend two health foods 1 stamina

[subtle parrot]

Use a bow from around the corner and hide when he goes to shoot. Well assuming he's not free to move however he wants. I would suggest not breaking the scrap piles fully until you snipe the body pile.

[hollow jackal]

I'd say im nearly done, so everything, but still struggle with abo's and groups of draugs. This was the first time seeing a 2star archer lol

[hollow jackal]

Will try this, ty

[tired notch]

You could try out the ||root harnsek||, it has resistance to pierce damage.

[hollow jackal]

theres even two archers in there lol, nvm

will just skip that part of the crypt for now xD

[marble roost]

Valid

[rigid sail]

Hi quick question. I saw they added double axe to the meadows, is there also a version of it in the black forest and the next biomes ? (I know it exist in the ashlands)

[tired notch]

there isn't unfortunately

[rigid sail]

oh sad /: I'm still happy they made one so early. It's my favorite type of weapon with greatswords and magic. They will probably add more in the futur.

[lament nova]

How to craft that axe btw

[finite goblet]

dumb question, whats the difference between running valheim normally and with vulkan

[subtle parrot]

You need to find the new axe heads, they can be found searching through unexplored meadows prefab buildings for loot chests. Find the axe heads and then you can craft them.

[ebon dock]

idk if this is a bug or not but how do I fix this, when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse to rotate a object its super sensitive and it also bounces back one tick, I'm using the Logitech MX anywhere 3S for Mac?

[tacit breach]

Have you played with the mouse sensitivity settings, to see if you can improve it?

[ebon dock]

Oh I’ll try that after dinner 👍

[quiet trout]

I don't want the gjall raid to happen to my base after I defeat yagluth. Can I just tp to somewhere else with a crafting bench to activate the raid away from my base?

[quasi vault]

It's only something to worry about if your base is in the mistlands

[quiet trout]

Really? My main base (the one I don't want raided) is in the meadows on the spawn island. I've been holding off of fighting yagluth for so long now that I'm basically ready for the queen, just because I don't wanna deal with those fat bastard gjalls, I hate those guys

[quasi vault]

Yeah that gjall raid can only happen in the mistlands around a few base structure, in the meadows after yagluth you can just get raided by seekers and seeker broods

[quiet trout]

ah, good to know. I'm not sure on the mechanics of raids so I hope ur not trolling. I'll go ahead and whoop yag with a biome ahead in gear, lol

[tired root]

Actually seeker raid cannot trigger in Meadows.
FYI @quasi vault

[quasi vault]

Then there's nothing whatsoever for him to worry about then!

[marble roost]

Maybe in deep north yeah. I’m doubtful of them being added to other biomes though

[quasi vault]

Might be the opposite, it remove the possibility of getting raided by fulings

[rigid sail]

I never understood their argument about not wanting to add every weapon to every biome to not make the game too repetitive (I don’t remember the exact reason). Imagine if every weapon class was available in every biome. We could choose if we want diversity from one biome to another by playing the weapon we want for that biome. So why force us to use weapons we might enjoy less because others are unavailable?

[tired notch]

Is it weird that I don't want them to add it to TDN? I love that weapon over everything else in the Ashlands but I think it's quite powerful as it is.

[rigid sail]

It's just a stat problem. I don't see why they should not add it in the deep north if they balance it well.

[humble crescent]

so we don't think they are going to give us 3 new gems and let us keep upgrading stuff with new elemental types? Ice Sword, Fire Mace?

[ebon dock]

Ok changing the Mouse setting and my scroll settings did not change anything, one tick on my MX Mouse wheel rotates the object all the way around?? humm...

[tired notch]

I hope not, I like the Mistlands style of weapon desgin where everything is quite unique.

[humble crescent]

I'd love to see them fill out the types of weapons, and 3 new elements. hmm

[rigid sail]

it would be a waste to introduce a new enchanting system and immediatly forget about it in the next biome

Moreover it enable so much different fighting style with the same weapons.

[humble crescent]

usiing the stones to make fancy pick and axe would be interesting. Special Fire Pick required to mine CrystalIce or whatever the metal is

[tired notch]

I think they've mentioned that TDN will be on par with the Ashlands in terms of its difficulty, so it'd need to have different properties to avoid being redundant with breserkir because increasing the damage may be too op if the difficulty doesn't jump.

[tired notch]

It's just crafting with items you find from a dungeon/fortress. I don't know if you've seen the dev blogs but there is a teaser for what may be a new weapon crafting system which seems far more interesting.

[humble crescent]

so we still need a top level PoleArm and Knife, and a two-handed axe?

[tired notch]

YES new knives!

[rigid sail]

yeah I saw but they barely show anything

[humble crescent]

yeah, the molds look interesting, seems like they will be for armor for sure. maybe weapons too?

[rigid sail]

I just want them to add magic to tdn. It's so sad when don't have magic from the start

I get that the ashland is perfect biome for that all but still

[humble crescent]

I guess a fist weapon could be nice too. I always end up using that for multiple biomes now

[vapid brook]

Are turnips really this hard to find? I looked for almost an hour tonight and found none lol

[tired notch]

Yes, and in the newest dev blog there's the ||Frost Foundry. IRL Foundry is what you make metal casts with a mold and the metal. These two were in different blogs but I think it'll be used together to make new weapons||.

[subtle parrot]

They can be for sure, I've explored whole swamps and not found them and then go back to do a crypt and happen to notice some i didn't before hiding behind a tree or something

[marble roost]

I dunno, without the lightning effect I don't feel like it's too powerful

But I would personally rather have some interesting twist on a 1 hand axe. I feel like Mistlands tried and miserably failed, and I just feel like I'd like to see more use out of them

[marble roost]

The reasoning for me would be that if you can get an atgeir in every biome, some people are ONLY gonna use atgiers for basically their whole playthrough. Gaps push people to try out new things

Not that it matters too much to me. I swap weapon every biome pretty much

[rigid sail]

I'm pretty sure that's their reasoning too but people do that because they enjoy playing the same thing. Pushing people to not do what they want (especially in video games) tend to be annoying.

[drowsy ocean]

Hi new player here. Our group finally arrived to Swamp area. Is there any suggestions on how to label chests?

We are having too many chests and out of label ideas

[still saffron]

I usually just make the iron chests at that point with biome specific labels. Collect a limited amount of each item and go back for more after using

[subtle parrot]

You can use emojis, color coding. If you type <color=red> for instance, before your text on a sign the text will be red. Put a little chicken or eggs or some kind of vegetable emoji on food chests. You can make signs for every single different item and fill chests with them.

[drowsy ocean]

I really need to start using the iron chests

I totally forgot about it, we have a house thats in between all 4 biomes and so never switch the chests out

[drowsy ocean]

I know you can change colors but not about emoji, thanks for it

[still saffron]

Having biome specific chests helps to autostack things into them a lot easily than having to open 10 different chests. Yes, hoarders will not like it but I'd rather go back out there to forage for some more when needed 🙂

[subtle parrot]

That's a fair way to play lol I do that a lot too

[drowsy ocean]

We are all pretty new to the game so we been hoarding stuff just in case

[subtle parrot]

sometimes i don't even make signs

[drowsy ocean]

And we don’t have craft from storage mod so it’s a pain with that many chests

[still saffron]

Understandable. Smaller storage does keep things simpler over time. You just have to go with what you get comfortable with over time

[drowsy ocean]

Agree. I’m thinking about remaking our base so iron chests are the way to go

Moving stuff around will be annoying tho

[still saffron]

Yeah, me neither. I just get familiar with where everything is after a few hours

[marble roost]

uh, I often just make two chests stacked on top of each other, label the section something like "Swamp", then put trophies in one chest drops in the other. Then same for mountain, etc.

Then often make a seperate section for basic materials (wood/stone, tree seeds, etc.) and another section for valuables / boss drops / equipment

[drowsy ocean]

Thanks for the advices.

[tired notch]

Why consider it without the lightning effect if it's available? Also imo 4 attacks with the latter two having double damage from a 150 slash and a secondary to close gaps on enemies is very powerful even in base form.

And I agree on the 1h axe thing.

[jolly tapir]

Ngl I just drop all my unwanted trophies and other junk all over the biomes to keep my inventory free 😂 There's plenty in the chets already

[finite goblet]

what boot configs would you recommend for better fps and less stuttering?

[marble roost]

I thought you were saying you didn't want dual axes in DN because they'd be too strong. In which case I brought up DN ones prob won't have lightning

But in retrospect you may just have been scarred from the power of ashlands axes and need a break from dual axes

Also they do have very nice dps. It's been a while since I've used them but from what I remember it's tough to unleash that full combo without the end of it missing the stagger window from a parry or having to tank a hit to finish the combo, isn't it?

[tired notch]

tbh I'm not really sure about that last part, I don't pay much attention 😄
But it's more that two biomes at similar power level with more than 4 different variants of dual axes that are incredibly good is a bit much. I'd prefer if they dropped it and made a better 1h axe to battle with.

[jolly tapir]

How do you make sure your world remains open at all times? Will it automatically be up while I have internet or do I need to keep my laptop on? (I'm assuming it can't be the last one..)

[keen zodiac]

What are the "Double Tap" & "Flick Interact" options in the radial menu?

[hallow plaza]

Dedicated server

[frail mist]

Guys i posted a bug in #screenshots
Anyone knows how i could fix that bug ? I would be thankful , it ruined the whole asthetic of the base, since its at a really visible spot from anywhere else

[steep tusk]

Plz stop channel-bouncing with the same question 😭

[marble roost]

By standard your world will only be available to others when you are on it (which requires your laptop to be on)

However, you can host a server through various companies, making it be up 24/7, though it will cost $$$

[pliant merlin]

Its not expensive, and well worth it imo. Think its about 10€ a month each, I have two.
One for me and some friends and one just for me, my own world I keep working on.

[marble roost]

What's the benefit to hosting a single player world?

[teal sun]

None

[pliant merlin]

Oh yes there are. I can have visitors whenver i / they want. Largest base is over 40000 instances, and there are maaaaany bases, big ones. Even spawned in rocks in Mistlands to build i fake mountain i could hollow out, it has a dverger-city in it including a 9 story marble hotel. Feels safer to keep it all there.

[manic gyro]

And you can use server-only mods to use some mods when playing on xbox (and soon ps5/switch)

[next flume]

hey i advanced a bit in the swamp and got iron, what gear/stuff should i get and is there any easy way to kill bonemass?

[frosty frost]

Get an iron mace for sure, for armour, whaever you are using for rest of the swamp is good 🙂

Also poison resist mead ofcourse

[next flume]

well im using level 3 troll armor

[next flume]

what about food

[frosty frost]

Oh, then upgrade either to root or iron, depending if you want to be a bit more tanky or fast on your feet 😄

[frosty frost]

Sausages, turnip stew and either black soup or muckshake, depending if you want more stamina or hp 🙂

[rare heron]

Anyone got a second to come check out the base I just built? Also having trouble with making my workbench not "too exposed" tyty

[next flume]

ah yes invite some random player that could potentially destroy your base

[teal stump]

Have they done anything about the P2P networking system?

[abstract eagle]

Put it in the house otherwise leave it anywhere

[hallow plaza]

Poison mead, some swamp tier armor and weapons, fire arrows, serpent stew

[hallow plaza]

The humble serpent stew

[frosty frost]

Not everyone has that 🙂 but indeed, best possible hp food at that point in the game

[hallow plaza]

It should really be harder

It's just a quick jaunt to the ocean at night with a bow basically guaranteed

[next flume]

what kind of armor do you reckon?

[steep tusk]

Armor doesn't matter if you block 😉

[next flume]

buh

[steep tusk]

And troll is more than adequate to get you to Mountain.

[next flume]

ok

[steep tusk]

?

[marble roost]

I got a draugr elite trophy on my first elite kill. Is this the game telling me I should give up my stubborness and try out 2h hammers?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

Embrace the glory.

And then tell me you wouldn't like Frostner more if it was 2h. 😏

[marble roost]

AoE frost sounds pretty goated

[finite goblet]

in current version, is valheim good with multithreading from unity or should it be disabled?

[steep tusk]

I don't think you can force multi-threading just by turning it on if they game isn't coded for it.
But I could be wrong.

[finite goblet]

well im asking since i can modify the boot configs for more or less threads

and if the game doesnt support as many threads as i input it causes problems (is what my reading on this issue says, correct me if im wrong)

so is the game not coded for multithreading?

[steep tusk]

@lapis terrace can correct me, but I don't think there is anything you even could multi, so it does not.

[finite goblet]

thanks

[true steeple]

Multiple threads are used for some things. World saving and liquid / terrain mesh building are the most common examples.

[odd wren]

why do some wood walls change color?

[finite goblet]

damage

[odd wren]

oooohhhh okay thanks a lot

[finite goblet]

rain damage most likely

[steep tusk]

Rain/water damage will drop it to 50% but it will never go below that.

So you can use the different colors on purpose for decoration by roofing after it rains.
And you also never have to worry about your dock being destroyed entirely as there is a hard limit.

[odd wren]

there isnt any way to prevent it?

[steep tusk]

Roofing.

[odd wren]

thanks a lot!

[finite goblet]

does haldor always spawn near the ocean or can he spawn completely inland?

[steep tusk]

Completely.

[frosty frost]

Can spawn completely inland, but since you usually explore by boat the first spot you often find is one near sea

[marble roost]

2 elites, 2 trophies

I still haven't made the sledge :/

tbf though I am only now getting iron so haven't been able to make it

[finite goblet]

coolio, so i should start by like looking in a circle radius past 1k meters yeah?

[frosty frost]

¨Just look through any black forest that you feel is far enough from spawn 🙂
The one you have elder in is usually a good place to start

[finite goblet]

huh i found him lmao

just ask and you shall recieve

[lapis terrace]

game works multithread

2 cores, 4 threads used

[finite goblet]

thanks

[neat field]

stupid question how do i plant ivy i keeps turning brown

says it needs to see the sky. plantint agaisnt a stone wall.

[lapis terrace]

check so you don't have a stone under the soil

and you need the planter

[neat field]

theres a planter??

like a special box?

[subtle parrot]

Cultivator

[lapis terrace]

cultivator

get a bronze bar, core wood

[neat field]

yea i have that im planting it and its going brown

says it cant see the sky

[subtle parrot]

Make sure you plant it about a meter from a wall and there's nothing above it blocking the sky

[neat field]

ok a meter away will reach

[barren canopy]

how do i team a boar?

also can i tame a deer?

[frosty frost]

You drop some mushrooms, raspberries or other thing they eat in front of them and wait 30 minutes while they dont see you 🙂

[frosty frost]

Nope

[barren canopy]

thank you

[orchid scarab]

Tamable animals:

Meadows: Boar
Mountains: ||Wolves||
||Plains: Lox||
||Special: Chickens||
||Ashlands: Asksvin||

[marble roost]

Has anyone actually ever used a love potion, without it just being for the memes?

[orchid scarab]

I don't know why you would want to.

[echo sparrow]

in theory, I suppose you could be just a few coins shy of something specific you needed to buy and it MIGHT be the most time-efficient way to quickly get those last few coins?

i PERSONALLY have not found a functional use yet

BESIDES decorating, of COURSE

[marble roost]

Spend a 110 coins to (hopefully) make back slightly more than that? It seems silly

[echo sparrow]

I'm imagining HYPOTHETICALLY you already have it
for reasons

[last osprey]

You'd probably make more money just quickly rushing through a few BF dungeons

[echo sparrow]

but yes, the 'use value' logic falls apart real quick if you start to poke it

[last osprey]

I have one just in case it unlocks a recipe sometime in the future 😅

[echo sparrow]

LOL, SAME

and putting it on a shelf, cuz the art in this game is always lovely

[marble roost]

I feel like if there is a point to it, it is that you need troll hide for swamp spear (same biome as you unlock love potion) and if you had gotten unlucky with trolls you might not be able to craft the spear

But like, that's so incredibly niche

I guess you could use it to make the trolls from your troll raid starred, and hten lead them into another biome to kill enemies for you? I doubt that's the intent of the love potion tho

[hollow jackal]

what armour is best if you want to enter the mountains=

[marble roost]

Depends on preference. For a new player I'd probably recommend iron armor, makes you more tanky. But using root armor for an in-between of tankyness and speed (along with some bow skill) is cool too, or a lot of people use troll armor because its easy to get and upgrade and you can move around quickly

[tired root]

I still use bear armor, but I have lots of experience in the game. Iron is safest, but it slows you down a bit compared to light armor.

[tacit breach]

I would argue bear armor can be easier to get than Troll. That trophy makes all the difference in which one I get completed first.

[marble roost]

hmm, for an experienced player I could see bear yeah. They're pretty plentiful

But I think trolls are easier and faster to take down

[tacit breach]

I find bears substantially more often, but I imagine RNG plays a huge role in that as well.

[marble roost]

Yeah they seem to have higher spawn rates

So it's just about if you're skilled / geared enough to take down a bear

[true steeple]

bears spawn more frequently than trolls

[tacit breach]

Well, I do have over 5300 hours now, so there is that. Even so, I still wait until I have my trusty skull tower shield before I melee either one. I could do them sooner, but I prefer minimizing my risk of dying.

[subtle parrot]

Troll skulls

[hollow jackal]

lv1, or really advised to have it higher=

[marble roost]

lvl 1 is enough, but kinda depends on your skill. If you feel like you struggle, upgrading is always nice

[echo sparrow]

right the upgrades are a nice cushion to be able to grind to if you're struggling

but MOST of the time the bump from just upgrading to a new 'tier' of gear (in particular, if you've NOT maxxed out the previous gear) is a sufficient boost to really feel it

[marble roost]

For mountains in particular I find a good offense is better than a good defense, but that's just me. I've been playing for a while so may be biased in some aspects

[echo sparrow]

wolves in particular are sorta high damage and speed, low HP, and so as long as you can actually block their hit without it breaking the block or having to parry you can play it pretty safe as LONG as you remember to 'keep your cool' and actually get the block up and keep it up, and patiently wait to hit them after their attack

i find my deaths going into the mountains initially almost always come down to flubbing the patience element or panicking and missing/misttiming the block, then if they bite you once unblocked, hits like a truck, and you're setup to potentially be staggered with an immediate follow up bite

[marble roost]

My preferred way of dealing with mountains is just one nice ranged weapon to deal with wolves and drakes before they get too close

Less clunky than using melee on slopes too, though this isn't a huge issue for me

[echo sparrow]

OR forgetting I don't have feather cape yet

yeah ranged is extra important in the mountains between the flyers and treacherous terrain

[marble roost]

Mountains has made me real good at spear throwing (though most, rightfully so, prefer bows)

[hollow jackal]

I´ved maxed bear, so yeah, feels sad to leave t behind xD

but dont kno what to expect in mountains and how hard they hit

[marble roost]

If you like it, keep it. Again, it's preference

[echo sparrow]

yeah I like that they have made it pretty viable with upgrades to keep gear several biomes later

[marble roost]

Black forest and swamp was more "a lot of smaller enemies doing medium damage"

Mountain is more "1-3 enemies at a time, but they move fast and do high damage. Low hp though" a lot of glass cannons

[hollow jackal]

more like a sunken cost fallacy lol

[marble roost]

not really

[echo sparrow]

it's not entirely a fallacy tho when it's say 80% as effective for 0% additional time investment

like you really are asking "do I find it hard enough to justify grinding for new gear now, or wait until even better next biome?"

[marble roost]

I mean if you're keeping it just because its upgraded, yeah. But if you're keeping it because it has cool buffs, no

[echo sparrow]

if you maxxed out the bear that's totally viable as someone who literally just did that

until i got the fenris

[marble roost]

One thing I will say is that one of the most common enemies in mountains does entirely non-physical damage. Which means the damage vulnerability of bear armor doesn't matter against that enemy

[hollow jackal]

i see a wolf has 80hp, so with one hit of a lv4 iron mace it should die? Can you hit it first or is it too quick?

[true steeple]

With a secondary attack you should be able to kill it in one hit but you’ll need to time it well. Jumping can help to delay the wolf’s attack.

[marble roost]

With the secondary attack it should die yeah if you have decent mace skill. You can always hit them first if you just time it well while they run up to you

Also good to note that they get staggered if you do half their health in damage. Good to know if using a bow or a regular mace attack

[echo sparrow]

well you may be looking at the max theoretical damage because stats

but also, I would be a little worried because how hard they hit and fast they can move and attack to "beat" them--as long as you know your regular block will stop the attack, it's probably safer to just block then riposte

[last osprey]

mace and sword have enough reach to hit wolves and stagger them before they attack. Assuming you get the timing right at least.
It's much safer and easier to parry them first though, especially if there's multiple.

[marble roost]

I think its preference

For me its more dangerous to try and time a parry than to try and time an attack

[hollow jackal]

do they always come in groups? Is the atgeir better than? Got lv2 iron atgeir

[last osprey]

during the day you'll usually get 2-3 at most. At night there's more. As for atgeir it's great on flat ground but has trouble hitting on slopes. I usually prefer sword & shield, but see what works for you.

[hallow plaza]

its a really, really obvious audio cue

you can do it eyes closed
once youve got it down youre golden

[marble roost]

Yeah but then I'd have to train it

Whereas a wolf running at me also feels very obvious and I can't recall a time I've mistimed the swing

Though I'm a fan of just chucking a spear now to avoid any terrain shenanigans

[marble roost]

Does battleaxe primary and secondary attack give the same xp?

[steep tusk]

Hits are hits afaik.

[tired root]

Each connected hit grants same xp, no matter how many targets you hit per attack.

Except spear primary hits have higher xp gain than the throw (which should be the same as other melee weapons).

[steep tusk]

Axe throw when? 😭

[tired root]

According to Smiffe, very unlikely.

[steep tusk]

😭

Smiffe hates fun.

Because he is so old.

[tired root]

But we have Early axes now, which should be potent even in swamps.

[steep tusk]

Swamp is when they slightly fall from my testing.
As Bronze does more damage (meaning so does Iron), and they are unable to parry Abominations and some starred mobs (that Bronze Buckler can easily handle).

They are absolute monsters across all of BF though.

[tired root]

Yeah, been testing during BF now in my current solo world. They absolutely rock.

They do have quite low block armor yeah. 👀

[full mesa]

Joelkkii you know that meme were theres a kid jumping onto the mother's arms and the other kid just... not having a great time in the pool, and the last image is just the skeleton underwater on a wheelchair?

That pretty much sums up the early game axes

early axes the new goat
flint slowly forgotten
and the stone axe

If they were viable all the way to swamp I'd consider them quite broken imo

But BF is just the right spot

[tired root]

Understood the assignment.

[full mesa]

Lol

Though they are balanced by how rare the axe heads are so flint is still usable

[tired root]

It's all about RNG.

[full mesa]

You're lucky to find both quite early on

I found like 5 curious axe head before I could find one mysterious ax head

[tired root]

Would probably help if there were variants for Early axes that use either 2 curious or 2 mysterious heads too as an option.

[full mesa]

Bronze axes and Iron axes 🤔

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, it'd be nice if those items aren't just useless if you find them later on.

[wide maple]

Hey I'm new to valheim and I'm not trying to build a roof for my 4 by 4 house and I have no idea what Im doing

[thorn spire]

try a hip style roof to start. Use the outside corner pieces 26 and fill in from there.

[waxen field]

I finally figured out why my chicken farm didn't work

It was the damn wall behind them

[gusty onyx]

is the heat resistance on the flametal armor different than the fire mead?

[frail cave]

is there a setting to where auto run turns with your camera?

(yes i asked in 3, here, general and valheim chats cause no one ever acknowledges it and forced my hand)

[gusty onyx]

not that I know of

you have to hold the mouse button to change direction with autorun

[frail cave]

damn, ty for answering at least, appreciate it

[marble roost]

Pretty different yeah. It doesn’t protect you against fire damage at all

It gives you a few seconds before you start taking damage in Ashlands water, and a fraction of a second before taking damage in Ashlands lava

[gusty onyx]

so it is easier to bounce on lava basically

found you can go pretty far on lava with the run and jump meads

and with buble you have a bit of extra protection just in case

[rain sundial]

can signs glow? cant read anything and i cant convey it to my teammates

[manic gyro]

Not glow, but you can give them a different text color (like white) to improve their readability: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Sign

[lapis terrace]

I'm not bloody old 🤔

[past wadi]

newbie here
finally decided to try this, ater enjoying Nightingale and hearing a lot of comparison
and, my first request for help is - where are thedamn boars? I got more deers then them, yet it looks like leather scraps are much much more needed in the beginning

oh, also - do logs despawn ever?

[waxen field]

Boars spawn frequently in open meadows, where you can find rocks and abandoned villages.

About logs despawning, no, they will lay there forever until you break them

[plain yarrow]

I'm starting a valheim immersive Playthrough and was wondering, if there's any strategy for finding the merchants. Is there something like the boss vegvesir pointing you in roughly the right direction?

[pliant merlin]

It varies, ive been on countless seeds and seen alot, but usually-ish: Haldor about 1500 (give or take) m from spawn in Black Forest. Hildir about 3400 - 5000-ish from spawn in Meadows, ive yet to see her spawn in the middle of the biome, Ive always seen her close to the edge or directly on the edge towards Plains. Bogwitch same distance as Hildir, sometimes further out and often (but not always) deep within the Swamp.
No vegvisir will tell anything, but they will pop on map even from a longer distance (up to 500 -ish meters).
Earlier there was rumors that they spawned in each set direction from spawn, maby this was more accurate when Haldor was the only trader. My own experience says this: mostly found NE, SE, NW and SW.

[past wadi]

am i dumb or roots of the ground are simply not found that easily?

[plain yarrow]

The thing is, that I have no map in immersive mode.
Thats why I was asking. But Hildir always beeing close to the egde is quite helpful indeed.

[pliant merlin]

You have the sun 🌕

[plain yarrow]

Oh, thats right

Now I have to beat my own shitty navigation skills

[pliant merlin]

Placing landmarks is wise

[plain yarrow]

That it is. There are already three great crosses on my starting island. And I'm planning to build lighthouses on each discovered shore once I have a proper base

Right now its just a renovated hut on the shore

[marble roost]

Might have to specify what “roots of the ground” are

A few different roots in this game

[past wadi]

quoting what the stone said

[glad current]

What stone?

[past wadi]

one of stones in meaows with red runes.
are there are kinds of stones that can 'talk' ?

[subtle parrot]

Runestones are just lore, not necessarily anything you need to look for from them.

[past wadi]

so boars cannot be tamed?

[olive ocean]

they can

[subtle parrot]

That's not what i said

[olive ocean]

root of the ground is found in the black forest

[subtle parrot]

But if that's the stone you're quoting about "roots of the ground" if it pertains to boars taming, then you need to find mushroom or raspberries and feed them to a boar you've trapped and they will tame

[steep tusk]

Carrot hits the closest thing for root of ground if I was a translator.

And there was that one amazing, glorious patch where boars ate only carrots.

[subtle parrot]

Lol must've been before i started playing, but that would make sense about carrots in the quote

[past wadi]

Glowing things that are beautiful but bitter? I hope so.

[past wadi]

Mushroom makes sense. Raspberries less so ...
Have to try, cause finding boars truly proven to be hard for some reason

[subtle parrot]

It's just what boars eat, red mushroom, raspberries, and carrots idr if they eat anything else

[past wadi]

Yet it was implied

[subtle parrot]

No not really, but I'm not going to argue with your assumptions

[olive ocean]

blueberry, onion, and turnip as well

[marble roost]

To all you multiplayers out there, ever play (without trying to kill one another) with friendly fire on? If my friend agrees to do a playthrough with me when deep north drops I feel like friendly fire would be a fun way to switch things up and keep us more immersed in whats happening, so we don't accidentally kill each other

[pliant merlin]

I wanted to, but still needs some "work" with the group 😅 I turned on FireHazard, for fun and for the realism in it. Went ok-ish until our very own viking Legolas went nuts wtih firearrows during a Forest is Moving-raid. Didnt have fences up yet so he burned down 30% of the mainhouse.

[marble roost]

lmao

[past wadi]

why every time I go to sleep I hear wooden stuff getting destroyed?

[echo sparrow]

you sleep near boats near a shoreline?

[hardy cargo]

Every time I sleep in the ashlands, I hear things that sound like my base burning down. Why?

Also, my base keeps disappearing.

Anybody know what’s going on?

[echo sparrow]

your based under the shield generator bubble? if not the fire rain comes to my mind as first likely culprit

[hardy cargo]

Ah.

[hardy cargo]

Yo, I forgot those existed, lol.

[echo sparrow]

LOL--well it's a UNIQUELY ashlands concern

[hardy cargo]

The bubbles.

[past wadi]

yep

[echo sparrow]

a lot of the time I noticed when you sleep near boats you can hear them knocking against the shore/something and that often sounds like wood breaking--I assume it's something like that if you're not actually finding a bunch of broken wood and damaged buildings around base in the morning

[past wadi]

even raft isn't needing repair somehow..

[vestal breach]

Trying to place a Adze next to forge but says work station isnt required but its right next to it

[past wadi]

why my bees suddenly want "more space"? I didn't build anything close to them

[rain sundial]

early axes vs paws of the bear?

[past wadi]

I am not sure what's the intended move against 'forest moves'

[rain sundial]

its a raid

[past wadi]

that's obvious

[marble roost]

My preference is setting up campfires so that the smaller greydwarves will run off (they're scared of fire), leaving me with a honest 1v2 against the brute and shaman

Then once the brute and shaman are dead I'll hunt down the lil' ones until a new brute and shaman spawns and walks up to me

[merry crane]

I just kite them away from my base and around in circles until it ends then handle the mob as normal (unless I need drops for whatever biome is attacking me)

[hallow plaza]

As long as neither of you wants to play mage

[hallow plaza]

It's a dps check

[subtle parrot]

Adze goes near the workbench not the forge

[past wadi]

yay, my defense in a form of cliff walls and entry through 'swim around' worked. sadly though wet wood doesn't burn well

[next verge]

lil question guys, the serpent scale shield gives resistance against pierce. Is that when you block or when you hold it?

[subtle parrot]

Shields only apply when you block

[next verge]

i know but it gives resistance so that was what i was wondering

[true steeple]

Because it’s applied in blocking you can stack it with other pierce resistance

[next verge]

and then a follow up, in the ashlands, should i use full flametal gear and serpent shield against pierce, or flametal shield and root harnesk

[tacit breach]

A shield works fine versus pierce, in any biome.

[next verge]

so the buff on the serpent shield is basically useless

[marble roost]

Why?

[next verge]

splash damage, its hard to avoid getting hit

[marble roost]

Other than not using staff of embers or wilds on an enemy tbe other guy is meleeing, it sounds fine. No?

[tacit breach]

You only need the resistance when you fail to block it.

[marble roost]

But if we’re both mages I doubt we’d splash each other

Or if we used ice staff / dead raider

Or if we just only AoEd far away from each other

Mage sounds completely viable. Though I rarely go for more than 1 Eitr food on any build

[tacit breach]

Serpent shield is good in early swamp or versus 2 star archers or spear fulings.

[next verge]

agree, it only applies if one of you is mage and the other melee

[next verge]

marksmen?

[tacit breach]

My normal shield has worked fine for them, so I have never tried the Serpent shield.

[next verge]

would you still get staggered by 2 stars?

[tacit breach]

The BM Tower shield is a beast.

You can get staggered at any time if your hp is to low. You may want to do all hp food in early Ashlands.

[next verge]

I am doing a naked run, do i still need health food or does the ashlands stamina food give enough health

[tacit breach]

For blocking? You need hp.

[next verge]

im sorry, i still dont have that much expreience, do i also need health to parry?

[tacit breach]

Yep.

[next verge]

thats why i get staggered all the time, THANKS!

[tacit breach]

There is a good sheet pinned in the chat channel that covers all that in detail.

Sevrahns sheets.

[barren canopy]

how do i know my boars are tamed

[past wadi]

I feel that's unfair how bear 'welcomed' me by swimming towards me from the coast and destroying my raft, leading to inevitable death

[next verge]

you will see a green bar above them

[raw moat]

Are bear trophies that rare? Ive killed 15-20 bears with no trophies. Is it a higher level bear I need to hunt?

[next verge]

instead of a red one

[tacit breach]

They often are hard to get.

[subtle parrot]

Think i saw some folks say they killed 30 and finally got one, i got one on my like 8th bear my last playthrough iirc. RNGeezus is unkind sometimes.

[raw moat]

Appreciate the responses I thought that may be the case thanks again

[marble roost]

Specifically you need maximum health. So if you’re at like 40 current health but your max hp is 200 that’s fine

But yeah definitely need some health food to parry well

[next verge]

so even though im oneshot without armor (naked playthrough) i need a balance between health and stamina

[marble roost]

If you want to be able to parry yeah

Dodging or dealing a lot of stager damage to stun lock enemies is also an option

Stamina honestly isn’t super important anymore. Ive gotten pretty good at stamina management and now I run around with either 0 or 0.5 stamina foods most the time

[next verge]

thanks for the help, this helps tremendously

[round ore]

I need help getting my friend to play. Is this the right channel for that?

[marble roost]

Yes. I recommend either brainwashing him/her into playing, or threatening them

[past wadi]

so uh what's the intended way to fight in the burial chambers? it feels like...
doing rolls or blocks only leads to huuuuge delay before I can deal any damage

[marble roost]

Alternatively you could go the route of how you'd appreciate playing with them and it would mean a lot to you, but I find the lovey dovey methods to be less effective

[marble roost]

Parrying

Block within 0.25 sec of enemy hitting you to stagger them, then retaliate.

I recommend getting the wood shield for that purpose, and preferably upgrading it

[round ore]

I will threaten them. Sounds nice.😊

[quasi vault]

If your friend need that much convincing, you need better friends 😄

I've seen people who enjoy vastly different game get absolutely sucked in by this game

[round ore]

He loves the game but he won’t leave Seige

Like, come on man.

[barren canopy]

how to breed boars?

[marble roost]

step 1: Trap boar

step 2: Throw boar some berries or red mushrooms

Step 3: Wait 30ish minutes for the boar to become completely tamed. Must stay nearby (boar needs to be loaded in), but if you leave it'll just pause the process until you come back

Note: Don't go too close to the boar during the taming process so it agroes on you, and don't have fires nearby. They'll freak the boar out and stop it from taming

[past wadi]

tower shields are meh?

[marble roost]

I'd say so. Most people I see hate them, a few people like them.

They're good for low skill players to just soak a lot of damage without having to worry about timings. But parries are much more rewarding if you can pull them off. Tower shields are not able to parry, which is what really knocks them down in usefullness

[next verge]

I hear that in the new update, laggy big bases would be fixed. Is this true?

[marble roost]

The update a few days ago? They're less laggy yeah

I wouldn't say they're fixed to the point where you'll never have lag

[past wadi]

would parry work if there are more 1 one enemy and they are not in sync?

[next verge]

does it work with a special setting or is it automatic

[marble roost]

automatic. They just did some performance tweaks

I think they have more stuff planned to improve perrformance

[next verge]

that would be a huge W, my starter base is so decorated that i had to move

[marble roost]

Sort of. If they attack almost in synch you could parry both with one click of block

If they are way out of sync you can easily just parry two seperate times

If it's in between those two it can be kind of dicey. Again it's mostly just up to your skill level

[past wadi]

you literally just said it's dicey - how could it by up to skill?

[next verge]

i have two bases, one base has half the fps of the other but the amount of instances is the same, what is the cause of the lag?

[old palm]

why can i only craft 1 item ( copper knife ) after placing down the forge?

[true steeple]

Get tin to make bronze

[old palm]

wdym? i already have bronze

[true steeple]

Bronze is crafted with copper and tin at a forge

If you had made some already you would see the recipe

[old palm]

ohhh im an idiot i thought copper was bronze, thank you

[dark yoke]

Me and my friend have some issues on our server that we cant explain so if someone could call us and help us

[orchid scarab]

Playing with mods?

[dark yoke]

No

I m playing on xbox and my friend on pc

[orchid scarab]

Maybe someone will go join a call specifically to be your personal geek squad, or you can explain your issues here.

[marble roost]

I dunno if there is an animation delay between when you unclick block and reclick it that could get in the way, but that would moreso be in edge cases. Most of the diceyness comes down to if you're good enough at timing to do back-to-back parries if attacks are coming at you from several different enemies

[marble roost]

Yeah similar to Zesty I'd suggest typing it out here. A lot of people aren't available to / don't want to join calls

[dark yoke]

When he joins he just flys in the air and he can t do anything and after some time he just gets theown out

[marble roost]

How are you hosting the server? Is he just joining your world, or are you hosting through a seperate company?

[dark yoke]

What do you mean by anither company

He is just joining i think

[marble roost]

Hmm, not exactly sure what is going on. I have heard other people have similar issues before

My best guess would be that there's some network issue for one of you but not really sure

[dark yoke]

Alright thansk for help

[light shore]

what food should I be using when entering the mistlands? Haven't defeated the plains boss yet but wanted to explore

[marble roost]

Any two plains health food and 1 plains stamina food. I would say

Optionally use serpent stew for a little extra buff

Like Lox pie, fish wraps, and blood pudding could be good

[bleak gust]

how can i find cooper veins? i mine and find nun, ive seen the imagems but when i mine i dont find it (yes i went all the way to bedrock)

[upper flax]

The game will tell you what deposit the rock is when you look at it they look like large boulders with a greenish hue throughout

[orchid scarab]

Black Forests. Look for the giant green-ish boulders. Look at them. It'll say "Copper Ore" or somesuch (or it might not if its just a rock)

Be sure to mine it out from underneath so you don't leave a whole bunch behind that was buried below what seemed apparent when you mined the top layer off.

Having a nearby portal will make it easier to repair and get your comfort buff back as you go.

[marble roost]

Yeah key thing is it has to say “copper” when you look at it and have kind of a shiny tint. Otherwise it’s just a rock

[stoic trench]

Sometimes there will be large rocks/boulders that are not copper. Make sure you do what Zesty said and inspect them closely so you don’t waste your time!

[humble ore]

Yo im having a hell of a time trying to find the mysterious ax head anyone want to help

[frosty frost]

Look a bit more in meadows POIs 😄

[humble ore]

I have been I created two worlds and discovered the immediate islands next to spawn so far I’ve only found two curious aX heads

[heady shale]

hi we got a problem, we startet a new world but can't find onion seeds in the mountain ski cabines

do they changed the spawn locatio

[marble roost]

Nope. Keep searching

[frosty frost]

Nope, they are still found in mountain POIs 🙂 just RNG

[marble roost]

Interesting usually curious is the tough one

[heady shale]

thx , we stay calm

[humble ore]

Ya this sucks haha

[humble ore]

Does anybody know if there’s any guaranteed seeds for the mysterious ax

[past wadi]

Given size of the world... How to explore without ending up cold in the middle of nowhere?

[true steeple]

Make some progress though the second biome and you might find a way

[orchid scarab]

A lot of options present themselves as you progress. More structures, tools, and equipment get unlocked.

I think it would be really helpful for you to get a nice comfortable/safe base set up and work on what you can. I don't know where you are, but it sounds like maybe just before or after the first boss Eikthyr.

[runic olive]

Hello!
Is there any way to get Black Metal in the Mistlands? Or do I really need to ship everything there for the Sap Extractors? xD

[orchid scarab]

Correct.

[full mesa]

Shipment is needed

[subtle parrot]

[marble roost]

Don't need to ship everywhere. Plenty of mistlands are adjacent to plains

[misty sage]

Can a Chromebook run Valheim easily? I know nothing about the device and it's capabilities. It's my friend's, not mine and he has no consoles or PC.

[drowsy crane]

I'm not confident it could run Valheim very well.

[tough hare]

You still need to ship the items to build a workbench, and a blast furnace. Plus you need coal, so either a kiln or a portal to a geyser at the swamps.

Might as well ship the black metal scraps home, smelt them, then ship them to the mistlands to use the black metal to craft whatever you want to craft.

[marble roost]

All the metals you need is iron and blackmetal. All of which you can get from the mistlands and plains. (Maybe copper if it requires a forge to place, but I believe all it needs is artisan table?)

Everything else can be portaled in

[jade olive]

Is there a way to see the hex code used on a sign to see what color you used?

[orchid scarab]

You can CTRL-A to select all and then CTRL-C to copy it

paste into any text field to see it

[tough pulsar]

Someone told me that monsters HP and damage scales with the number of players around them. I was under the impression this only scaled with difficulty level and star level. Is this actually true?

[karmic plover]

Any idea how I can participate in a community translation of Valheim?

[drowsy crane]

It is true 👍

[tough pulsar]

Interesting. Is this on the wiki anywhere?

[karmic plover]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creature_Level

Under "Effects"

[strong remnant]

I’ve seen wooden pallisades but I don’t have option to build but I’ve unlocked all 3 wood types.. what is actual structure name?

[orchid scarab]

You checking in misc?

[strong remnant]

I checked everywhere

[karmic plover]

Stakewall?

[strong remnant]

I’m a deep

derp

[jade olive]

Cool thank you very much worked great

[karmic plover]

So, any idea how I can help the community translate the game?

[lost sandal]

Send an email to [e-mail] mentioning that you'd like to help contribute to the community translation. Be sure to include what language you're offering to help with. They'll get back to you as soon as they can, and will let you know if they're currently looking for translators.

[karmic plover]

I noticed that some languages say that they're "community translated". I'm guessing the others are by people the studio reached out to.

The thing is I tried emailing them a while back, but they said they're not looking for a translation at the moment.

But today I found out someone had started translating the game into my language (Bulgarian). I was wondering: do I need their permission to access the code for text, or do I get it from somewhere and then submit it to them?

[lost sandal]

I do know we have a decently active community translation team, so it is possible they aren't looking. All community translation is managed using crowdin and coordinated in a hidden channel here in the discord. How long ago did you send your other email?

[karmic plover]

In June

[lost sandal]

Ok, best I can suggest is to send another email checking in again.

It's entirely possible that they might be looking for more in this time

[karmic plover]

Ok, I'll try to contact them again

Thanks a lot!

[lost sandal]

[karmic plover]

[undone shell]

Anybody good at building basic bases?

[orchid scarab]

What do you want?

[undone shell]

I don't know lol. I want decent starter base but Im just so bad at base building.

[undone shell]

Something to get started I suppose.

[orchid scarab]

Practice, try things out, watch videos online

[undone shell]

Yeah...

[west bough]

Take over the structures in the meadows

[last osprey]

Yeah, this. I usually take over one of those abandoned meadows farms, fix up the houses, slap a palisade wall around it and maybe flatten the ground a bit. That's my base until plains or mistlands.

[past wadi]

I did find tin, I smelted it...
but nothing new unlocked?
not sure what's the intended progress further if there's any

[tired root]

You need copper too.

[west bough]

The cooking station should be unlocked at least?

[tired root]

Not before you get copper.

You need ||forge||.

[west bough]

Oh damn, I thought it was 10 tin only

Right that makes sense

[tired root]

It is, but similarly as workbench you need ||forge|| to build certain objects, like cauldron.

[past wadi]

huh, never seen it

[past wadi]

huh?

[frosty frost]

Look for ||big rocks with metalic veins running through them|| in black forest 🙂

[past wadi]

do I stand any chance against bear? would parrying eevn work or I will just loose my skill points progress?..

[past wadi]

huh, somehow didn't find them. perhaps just bad random
my first black forest had looooots of tin around shores
but second one had just 1! deposit until it turned into steep cliff

[frosty frost]

Bears avoid fire, so if you keep a few torches handy to put in your off-hand you should be able to deal with him 🙂
Tho it will take time since they have a LOOOOOT of hp 😄

[past wadi]

huh... did I miss a hint that they are afraid of fire?

[frosty frost]

I am not sure if its pointed out in game 🤔

[frosty frost]

They are much bigger than the tin ones btw, and look almost exactly like the other giant rocks that are part of the black forest landscape 🙂

hmmm, the moment I pulled out torch it kinda lost interest, for a while,
then returned, did a few swings and began avoiding me again? weird

Hello. We have installed Valheim on a private server. There are only 5 mods on it, “nothing earth-shattering,” but our problem is that we keep getting error messages. The problem is that the server starts to develop significant delays, berries fly up, trees fly vertically away from you, monsters stand still and run on the spot, and skip their movements.

how's forge different from workbench, if both are crafting stations?

[barren rivet]

forge = hot workbench for metals

[frosty frost]

You can make stuff in there you cant in workbench 🙂

[past wadi]

oh, so it's completely different, nice

[past wadi]

stagbreaker sounds liek something I should hit myself with to know if it's any good...

I feel a bit stupid for not knowing where to get fine wood
took me awhile to distinguish corewood dropped from pines (and not fins)
maybe birch is the source though...

[subtle parrot]

Just wait til you find out about oak trees

[past wadi]

seen them - too tough

[frosty frost]

Same for birch 😄

[subtle parrot]

If you have bronze you can chop them

[icy brook]

You'll need a bronze axe for finewood

[glad current]

||or the early axes||

[past wadi]

expected

[past wadi]

huh?!

[glad current]

There is an item that was just added ||called "early axes" and they can chop birch trees, but it requires some exploration to unlock.||

[past wadi]

oh, that must be the axe head I found

[subtle parrot]

There are 2 unique axe heads you need to find

[rain sundial]

even though i got the bear armour and bronze, idont see bronze trinket recipe

[steep tusk]

You need the trophy drop.
Bear for that one specifically.

[rain sundial]

it did, i made the bear headpiece with it

[steep tusk]

Ruby?

[rain sundial]

thought it might be that since i never collected a single ruby but my friends had like 40 stashed and i tried it and nope..

is it bc the mods are being weird

[steep tusk]

Ok... LEAD WITH THE FACT YOU'RE PLAYING MODDED NEXT TIME...

And then go to #mods-discussion / #mods-issues

[outer cliff]

Which metals should I bring with me to Mistlands on the ship?

[rain sundial]

ivegot almost 100 hours in this game and havent even beat bonemass

[outer cliff]

may i ask why?

[steep tusk]

You will need a couple Blackmetal.

Probably just 1 stack of it should be good.

[outer cliff]

Thanks - prob is, I haven't beaten Moder yet

And she is next to some Mistlands

I am considering to bring the mats for a blast furnace, which includes 10 iron bars. And 2 extra iron bars for the stonecutter

[rain sundial]

because im not good xD

also spent a bit building and fooling around

[glad current]

No need to speedrun things. Building and exploring are fun!

[outer cliff]

i beat him yesterday again 😄 found a nice strat - just dodge roll before he hits you and land a few hits on him. Repeat like that. Have poison resist mead and a crypt nearby with a campfire inside so you can rest and heal quickly

and you can build a portal on top of a crypt for easy escape

But yeah - I agree. There is no rush 😄

[deep axle]

Hey all. Started playing Valheim about two-three weeks ago on the Xbox Series X (Loving it thus far). The game recently got updated and was wanting to know if this issue is a new bug.

The issue is before the most recent update, my crouch was set to L3/LS (Click the left stick in). But with the recent update for some reason I now have to HOLD L3/LS for a few seconds before I can crouch..... can I change it back to a quick tap somehow?

(Reposted from #valheim-chat as I put it in the wrong one).

[next verge]

im sorry, i dont have any exprience on that topic

guys, is there a more efficient way to mine out a huge chunk than by using a pickaxe?

[steep tusk]

Pickaxe + Elder Power.

Unless you're talking a chucnk of dirt -- in which case: no Elder, use Antler Pickaxe.

[next verge]

im mining out an island onto water level

[steep tusk]

Antler Pickaxe.

[deep axle]

All good don't worry about it. The two friends I play Valheim with; both of them are on Steam and use a Controller (Both use Xbox One/Series controllers) with the same issue too. Wondering if we were able to have it back to a quick tap (how it was prior to the recent update) OR if it is an issue with the controller firmware....?

[subtle parrot]

Known issue, i believe they are working on it from what i saw smiffe say a few days ago

Will likely be fixed in a future update, but have to bear with it for now

[deep axle]

Ahhh okay. Thank you. Not a "big" deal but when I go hunting, I like to sneak around to get the perfect angle 😄

[subtle parrot]

I definitely feel that, i was trying to hunt deer after the update and was thinking my stick was being janky lol

[abstract eagle]

Tasty! One strategy that work for bmass, especially if you are not confident of your skills. Raise the ground around the spawner as close to it as possible while leaving some space to build a ladder down to the sacrificial mouth. That way when he chucks blobs they dont get over the wall so you can just drop down smack him around and then get on up, just make sure manage stamina. Plus if you build it up you can have neat house on top of the skull to go back and harvest chain of you want. You can build fires inside the eye sockets for extra effect too. Good luck.

[manic gyro]

It's a known bug that will be fixed in the upcoming hotfix

[rain sundial]

the issue is that I don't make it to a point that I can face bonemass, I die to swamp creatures

[keen widget]

is ther an admin that can help me?

[frosty frost]

If you need help from moderators send a DM to @lofty orchid 🙂

[past wadi]

how to plant carrots so they have 'space to grow'?..
first batch just died

[full mesa]

space them out

All farmables need space in order to be harvestable once they fully grown

[marble roost]

Don't place near a wall

Don't place too close together

Also, don't put a roof over them

[past wadi]

yeah yeah, that' the "too close"?

[past wadi]

I did space them out

[full mesa]

What did it say when you planted it?

[subtle parrot]

Need roughly 1 meter between each crop and any walls. Make sure there are no big rocks under the ground if you raised it up.

[abstract eagle]

level up your skills on simpler creatures, you should only be dying to something like 2 star archers and elites at that point, everything else can be parried or blocked

[hallow plaza]

Make health foods, sausage, serpent stew, etc.
Level your skills using a twig dummy

[steep tusk]

Skills is completely and utterly "meh".

Food recommendation is spot-on though.
Food is the most important stat in the game.

[past wadi]

what exactly comfort level improves? doesn't seem like there's any ingame tooltip to explain...

[thorn spire]

More comfort extends your rested buff.

Which in turn improves virtually everything.

[past wadi]

does different variations of the same thing improve it? I mean liek different banners etc. does same instance of a thing improve it?..
I mean, I can find on my own, but this realy feels like "[spend lots of time grinding and praying for random], f*ck around, and find out"

[last osprey]

one item per category

so one banner, one rug, one fire source and so on

[neat field]

Whats the deal with adrenaline? Been running a trinket since black forest and im well into the plains and I've yet to have it proc or the bar fill all the way up

[marble roost]

Mostly for big fights where you really need that buff. Also depends which trinket you use, the ones that require like 80+ are a bit useless imo

Also depends a lot on weapons. Spears, knives, battleaxes, atgeirs, and parrying is pretty good generating adrenaline in my experience

[steep tusk]

You need to be fighting continuously.
It's not going to proc in little scraps with 3 enemies.

Chained engagements or boss fights.

[next verge]

Guys, I did the last fortress in the whole ashlands, and i had the loot in my inventory, i crashed and had to load in a backup, but the server didnt have to load in a backup since its dedicated and only i crashed... Is there a way that i could spawn in the loot or something because i lost A LOT.

[tired root]

Go to your own world and spawn them with console commands.

In case of crashing and losing loot I see using commands reasonable, if loading backup save is out of question.

[abstract eagle]

Any clue why my fps is not showing or steam overlay is not launching? All enabled

[drowsy crane]

Do you know how to parry, and are you doing perfect dodges?

[undone monolith]

If you remember the loot you had in your inventory, and if you are not against console commands, you can spawn it with commands.

[undone monolith]

Yeah. That ↑
You have to do it in a server that is yours. Since you can't use commands on a server where the host is a different player.

[quiet trout]

Is anyone else getting lag when in the ashlands? Like audio stuttering n stuff. It's nowhere else, only ashlands, really annoying.

[subtle parrot]

Yes it's a known issue the devs are trying to fix, it's not quite as bad as it used to be, but still need work

[drowsy crane]

I've never had this happen, are you on a low end system?

[quiet trout]

Heck no, I got a baller pc. The stutters only happen for like 10~ seconds after I tp to the ashlands, or when I enter/exit a putrid hole. Then it smooths out.

[drowsy crane]

That's odd, have you tried altering any settings to fix it?

[quiet trout]

Nah, I’m usually too focused on the game to care.

[drowsy crane]

So confusing that you'll question it in discord but not touch your settings.

[austere brook]

So been doing modded valheim for weeked finally just like lets just derp on vanilla, but keeps crashing at start up

[subtle parrot]

#mods-issues #mods-discussion

[austere brook]

Well it's crashing with no mods is the thing just plan vanilla launching from steam

[subtle parrot]

Have you fully disabled all the mods and removed bepinex or whatever it's called?

[neat field]

No dodging just swinging and blocking

[drowsy crane]

There's your reason 😛

Parrying/perfect dodging/blocking all result in adrenaline.

[west bough]

It still wont proc adrenalin with 80 cost very much though, I dont look at anything with cost over 65 these days

[full mesa]

I do understand people's hunger and preference for stamina regen

[west bough]

Parry and blocking already kills enemies fast enough that when adrenaline arrives chances are nearly everythings dead already

[full mesa]

But to me I prefer the instant stamina gain from the resounding shackle

Its honestly outperforms brimstone

resounding shackle > brimstone

[west bough]

Im on the bronze trinket lol

[full mesa]

Bronze pendant is still a very good choice

stamina is your lifeblood in this game

[west bough]

My weapon of choice isnt very adrenaline friendly

[full mesa]

Plus im a big fat 2h sword main

[west bough]

BA is a slow hitter even with parries its slow on the generation

[full mesa]

So resounding wins for me

[steep tusk]

Nimble Anklet can be the alternate to Bronze Trinket if you'd rather have flat stamina bumps instead of waiting for % regen.

[west bough]

Whats the cost?

I forgot, trinkets are just that unimpressive to me

[steep tusk]

60 for 50 Stam and 30s of MoveSpeed.

[full mesa]

I believe its around 60 could be wrong I havent use any previous biome trinket

[drowsy crane]

For higher adrenaline I prefer using it in biomes that I can easily aggro a crowd, I'll dodge multiple attacks at once and accelerate my trinket advantage before even starting to fight.

[full mesa]

Nvm there it is

[orchid scarab]

I think Bronze Trinket sucks less.

Well, I think Resouding Shackle sucks less.

[west bough]

Yep, trinket conversations in a nutshell

[drowsy crane]

Iron Brooch is god.

[full mesa]

Pretty much lol

[steep tusk]

The only 2 that it can be debated "suck" are Bracelets and Brimstone.

[orchid scarab]

Trinkets take too much to trigger, so the best trinket is no trinket. Inventory slot worth more.

[full mesa]

Still in the end its subjective

Some prefer regen over instant stamina gain

[west bough]

Ey, atleast we have fins of destiny, easy proc, you can swim more

[full mesa]

some might prefer hp than stamina

[drowsy crane]

I prefer health over stamina any day, but I also don't use much stamina while fighting and utilize tasty mead.

[west bough]

Oh there is also a hp regen one that doesnt cost much so thats good, pairs well with elder

[full mesa]

Tasty mead is very good but I dont often find myself farming for them in the early game because im just gonna devour through all of them in just a few in-game days

I prefer using them when fightings bosses or exploring biomes like mountains, mistlands, and ashlands

[drowsy crane]

I set up portal farms for berries quite early, so I would overflow with berries if I didn't use them. 😛

[full mesa]

Early axes allows for early portal so very dope

[marble roost]

I dunno, I've been triggering mine like 3 times per raid

A lot more than that if I'm running fins of destiny

[drowsy crane]

Some people have trouble triggering them unfortunately, my Iron Brooch will chain activate and it feels like I'm on a rampage 😅

[marble roost]

I find it very weapon dependent

[full mesa]

To be fair not everyone is at the scale's level of combat experience so trinkets may differ for everyone

depending on their play style

[upper gust]

Not sure if it's a bug, but what's up with crops disappearing? My garden is fenced in and within workshop area and crops were healthy when I last checked. Randomly when I check there's small portions that just go missing. By portions I mean the same area, like a small 2x2 floor area of crops gone and its not the same area every time but roughly the same size (only happened twice). Wondering what's going on.

[drowsy crane]

Does a tree branch extend over top of them? Any coverage from the sky will kill the crop.

[full mesa]

An obvious greydwarf shaman

[upper gust]

there is a tree in the garden but both portions have been clear sky

[full mesa]

If you used wooden fences I believe that enemies can still see the crops

So they'll try to break in

[upper gust]

do they actually aggro on crops? Will they destroy a portion and leave or something

[upper gust]

ah, i see, so rock walls then?

[full mesa]

Enemies are attracted to crops and will try to break in if they have line of sight

[full mesa]

Stakewalls will work as well if you still dont have access to a stonecutter

But the best solution is making a perimeter wall

[upper gust]

alright, renovation time, thank you much!

[full mesa]

Dont forget spawn proof the area, either by making a bunch of workbenches or putting down a ton of those wooden standing torches

[upper gust]

theres spawn proofing?!? glad I joined this discord cuz i was lacking on mechanics knowledge. I assume its light and workbench area based on that

[full mesa]

Correct, the area of the workbench will prevent spawning in its radius, torches work aswell but the radius is hidden and smaller

[drowsy crane]

Hmm, in the garden? I would still suspect the tree, the collisions don't always match exactly with the branches.

[full mesa]

But in general base structures such as workbenches, smelters, kilns, forge, etc will prevent enemies from spawning in the radius of whatever base structure there is

Some will show the radius, whilst some like the smelters will not show the radius

If you have the extra resources you could use a workbench and upgrade to level2 using a chopping block and the tanning rack to increases it radius

It'll allow you to repair wooden structures in needed aswell

[upper gust]

thank you much!

[vale ledge]

One question: do you know how many boos zones there are of each type? I mean, there are more than one, right? I got the moder boos at the end of the map and I don't think that's normal...

[steep tusk]

Boos zones?

👻

[marble pagoda]

i think always 3

for Moder at least
Yag 3? i think? maybe 5
Queen i see 5 usually, Fader always 3
bonemass 5, elder 3, eikthyr 3

[vale ledge]

Oh, thank goodness, because I've played the first areas of the game several times and this is the first time the boss has appeared so far away with the stone. Shouldn't the closest boss appear with the stone?

[marble pagoda]

yeah, but the other 2 moder altars may be further away from your part of the world

[vale ledge]

But it's the first one, I haven't seen any others, and I'm practically in the center of the map, and it appeared at the end of the map. There's a photo in the memes section.

[subtle parrot]

3, 4, 5, 3, 4, 5, 5 3 is the boss alter numbers in order from eik to fader

[marble pagoda]

ehh yeah that's not that far

definitely only 3 faders
but the others look right

[subtle parrot]

Oh is there? I thought it was 5 for some reason

[vale ledge]

That helps me a lot.

[subtle parrot]

No worries

[marble pagoda]

ya ashlands is tiny

[subtle parrot]

True

[vale ledge]

If it's far away, at the edge of the map, I don't think it's fair...

[subtle parrot]

Yeh for moder that is a crappy location

[vale ledge]

I hope the other dragon boos are closer.

[marble pagoda]

it is unfortunately far, i hate sailing
i wouldn't consider that near the edge of the map though
unless its completely surrounded by mistlands which can happen and is kinda bullshit
the map doesn't really get harder as you go further out because all ocean is the same and there's black forest everywhere

[vale ledge]

I know. But it's risky to go so far away. It's a long trip, and I don't know what kind of terrain I'll be surrounded by. Anyway, it's my last resort. I hope to find another one before then, to be honest. Knowing that there are surely more out there puts my mind at ease. I'm in no hurry, so it's not really a problem. It's more for convenience, and I was very surprised that it appeared so far away. I thought it would be a mistake or very bad luck.

[undone monolith]

there's about 3 of each boss. And yes, some boss locations can be in very weird/difficult access areas.

[vale ledge]

Thanks, I didn't know that, it's new to me.

Oh, another question: do you know how often the dungeons reset? I've been playing for a while and only yellow mushrooms appear, and in other playthroughs they did reset. Do you know if time has changed or if it no longer happens?

[whole plinth]

Hi, I just set up a Valheim server on LeikaCloud.
When I try to join for the first time, it says “Banned”.

The bannedlist is empty.
Does the panel enable permittedlist / whitelist by default?
How can I fix this?

[rain sundial]

I don't see bronze trinket's effect in the active buffs menu, is it because im using bear armour?

[pure mango]

Was the trinket active?

I dont think it will appear in there unless its actually running

[upper gust]

Any tricks for second or third floor beds? Struggling to figure out how to place a fire near the bed...

[pure mango]

I put a fire in the middle of the downstairs and then set the chimney in the middle of the room on the upper floor

You can compress it
You only need a 1mx1m escape for smoke

[rain sundial]

i thought you just put it on

[pure mango]

No trinkets use adrenaline, when you have enough adrenaline the buff starts

[rain sundial]

oh how do u get adrenaline

[upper gust]

I heard the distance doesnt count vertically but i did some testing and it doesnt seem that it is that simple. How exactly did you do it?

[pure mango]

Attacking, perfect dodges, perfect parries etc

[rain sundial]

thank you, so basically combat

[pure mango]

Fighting basically

snap

[rain sundial]

is there an adrenaline bar?

[pure mango]

I'm pretty sure its a circle? I just have the fire on the ground floor and then the bed above it but slightly off to the side

[pure mango]

Yes red bar

[rain sundial]

is it the one that shows when i take damage

oh i see it, its a new bar

[pure mango]

You can put fires on stone, so you could also use a ton of stone peices on top of each other to raise it to the upper floor

[rain sundial]

but whats the one where i take damage from something massive

[pure mango]

Oh thats the stagger bar

Yeah its not that one

[upper gust]

Does it need a chimney? I just tried it: fire on the floor 3 floors down, bed on 3rd floor only 1-2m away, "bed needs to be placed near fire", any other requirements?

[pure mango]

Always need a chinney

[upper gust]

Even if it has some smoke escape it NEEDS some kind of contained walls or something to vent the smoke straight up???

[rain sundial]

whats that for?

[pure mango]

Thats how close you are to being staggered
When you get staggered you cant do anything for a sec and take extra damage
In combat one should stagger the enemy without being staggered yourself

[dusk radish]

what is the damage that my wood structures take and how do i stop it

also can it destroy the builds or just weaken them

[pure mango]

Rain

You have to cover them up

They wont be destroyed but they'll take up to 50% damage

[dusk radish]

was gonna send a ss but i have a giant staircase

[dusk radish]

thats chill then

how does item despawning work cause i just used a troll to cut down a bunch of trees

[warm karma]

Hey are bears tamable now ? did they shadow dropped it out of nowhere ?

we got kinda suprised by it because we couldn't find any info anywhere

[undone shell]

Hi everybody. I need some help.

I am playing with console commands because I'm just playing by myself in my own world and trying to build a cool base. I used debugmode so I could have access to all building materials. I died and then suddenly am unable to use debugmode again. I started the console commands over (devcommands) and then (debugmode) and it's not working. I restarted my game, cleared cache on both computer and steam. Loaded in again and now its just not working.. My building is half built and I now don't have access to the pieces I was using

[pastel carbon]

question i havent played in years i and last i played when i got to the mist lands i got a magic bar but now that i restarted i ate the same food but the mana was only temp did they remove hte perma mana bar for only when your on food with the mana?

[orchid scarab]

There was never a permanent mana bar. Eitr food can give you an eitr bar as long as the food buff lasts.

[pastel carbon]

Odd I guess I misremembering then thanks I legit thought there was a perma eitr bar once u ate some eitr and perma increased on different food

[past wadi]

burn their young
who exactly are they?
greydwarfs? tried trophies but nope
skeletons don't exactly have 'young'
doubt this is about boar or neck trophy

[full mesa]

Look closely at the atlar and its surrounding pillars

[past wadi]

yeah looks like something I never seen before, like low poly neck head with cat ears

[full mesa]

You see those purple nest around the black forest?

[past wadi]

I did enocunter some of them, got some zelda seed from them

[full mesa]

zelda seed 😭

[past wadi]

it has triangle

[past wadi]

what exactly triggers forest retaliation?

[undone monolith]

the "Forest is moving" thing?

[past wadi]

ye

[true steeple]

Events have a 20% chance to trigger every 46 minutes when you are at a base (except for one event later on that can only happen outside your base)
The game knows if your at a base or not by checking for 3 nearby base objects such as workbenches and campfires

[undone monolith]

It's the Base Raid event that triggers after you killed Eikthyr but before you kill The Elder.

[tired root]

If you mean ||hunted|| raid for only happening outside base, it can trigger either in base or outside. It just has no requirements for base items nearby like all other raids.

[past wadi]

it triggered multiple times...
The only connection Icould speculate is digging dirt tbh

[undone monolith]

It can trigger many times. Not just once.

Just like @true steeple mentioned above, there's a 20% chance every 46 mins of game that a Base Raid will happen if you are in a place that the game considers as your "base".
It could happen every 46 mins if you are "unlucky", or it can almost never happen.

[undone monolith]

The only way to never have Base Raids is to completely turn them off in your worlds modifiers before entering that world. Some people play like that if they want a more easy going and chill type of gameplay. But the standard is to have Raids.

[past wadi]

didn't ask for that. just curious if there's any specific trigger

[undone monolith]

I know you didn't, but since you asked for triggers I wondered if you wanted to try and not trigger it again when you are working in the base, for example.

There isn't a "player action" trigger. It's just random.

[past wadi]

I am fine with them... even though they did caught me at bed time couple times...
in fact I am building base in way that should make it over-prepared

[past wadi]

it's in wrong orientation and tbh I don't see much resemblance

[full mesa]

Its still the ancient seed

Theres no difference

[steep tusk]

The exact same model just colored differently = "not much resemblance"??

[undone monolith]

I actually never noticed that they had stone versions of ancient seeds on the pillars until you mentioned it today haha They are ancient seeds indeed and I can't unsee it now.

[past wadi]

the way I saw that 2d imagine is a pepper ball on a three-leaf
the statues on pillars are more of that doom meatball-eye-with-horns

[full mesa]

Try dropping it...

[past wadi]

why would I drop something so precious?

[steep tusk]

Or looking at it before you pick it up?

[full mesa]

You're permanent leaving it

Just pick it back and after looking at what it looks like

[past wadi]

no time to waste looking at pretty stuf f 🙂
I did listen to it close to my ear though

[cloud mortar]

i keep getting some unity crash error and then my valheim game crashes. ive restarted my computer, ive verified the game files, ive reinstalled it twice, on 2 different drives i have, im at a loss here. i cant even screenshot the error either because it pops up so quickly.

[tired root]

Using Vulkan?

Vulkan got some issues since last Unity update, it will get adressed in next hotfix afaik.

[barren canopy]

can i plant berries?

[subtle parrot]

No

Well, eventually there is ||vine berries|| but that's late game

You can't plant raspberries or blueberries or cloudberries

[barren canopy]

:(

well then what can i plant except trees?

[marble roost]

Carrots, turnips, ||onions, barley, flax, mage caps, jotun puffs, vine berries||

First thing to plant is carrots. Find some white flower plants in the Black Forest and they’ll give you carrot seeds

[barren canopy]

thanks

[tired root]

When you find big clusters of berries mark them on map, then come gather more later.

[cloud mortar]

the game doesnt even ask me to use vulkan anymore, no clue if im using it

[true steeple]

right click on steam for properties, then change the selected launch option

[cloud mortar]

oh dang, thank you lol

guess we will see if that solves it

[true steeple]

i'm still playing with vulkan and not having any issues

[tired root]

I had crash once during co-op play, but nothing else.

[cloud mortar]

im the opposite, it seems that i only crash when playing single player

[rancid sigil]

is there any way to have less mobs sawn while fighting the boss in the 6th biome? my buddies and i have been having a lot of trouble cuz theres just so many smaller guys. our gear is also currently at lvl 3, so the max we can do without going to the next biome

[true steeple]

there's no way to reduce the spawns, they're part of the fight. You'll have to use weapons that can deal with groups effectively or high movement to get around them more easily

[subtle parrot]

Have one of your buddies use bile bombs

[rancid sigil]

thx, well try it next time

[tired root]

My friend spammed them a lot when we fought Queen, I almost got blind.

[subtle parrot]

That's wild lol

Flashbang!

[tired root]

I can try finding the clip once I'm able to.

[wild tulip]

@rancid sigil if you're playing vanilla I can assist with the kill

[rancid sigil]

we are running one mod, but i think we should have it with the bombs. we got her to half health but the main issue where just the amount of smaller enemies

[next verge]

I think there is something wrong with my world generation, im finding swamps without trees, plains with floating rocks, mistlands without mist. Is this a known problem?

[frosty frost]

How old is your world and are you using any mods?

[next verge]

its about 4 years old, im not using any mods on the server but i use mods on my account, i dont think my mods affect the world generation

[hollow jackal]

what is the best trinket if you just finished the swamp and want to go to mountains?

[steep tusk]

Best is incredibly subjective.

[quasi vault]

Trinkets are incredibly hard to get to trigger in the mountains which are really bare

[subtle parrot]

Iron brooch is good

[steep tusk]

Pendant v Anklet if you want stamina refunds.
Brooch if you want healing + tankiness.

[hollow jackal]

tankiness seems important in the mountains?

[steep tusk]

The tankiness that Brooch gives you is specific to not blocking things.

Anklet gives you stamina instead of health and speed which can help you avoid damage entirely.

So, as I said, it is subjective to what you, personally, value more.

[fresh basin]

GUYS I BEAT THE ELDER TYSM FOR ALL THE TIPS PEOPLE GAVE ME

[quiet trout]

lil bro ain't ready for bonemass

[fresh basin]

is bonemass hard?

and when do I unlock him ?

[tawny solar]

Hes not too hard if you have poison resistance, venture into the swamps of torment and get good gear, you will want a good mace or blunt weapon against bonemass

[quiet trout]

He’s a little tough if you’re new to the game, but he’s not too bad. Kill all the surrounding mobs around his spawn area and use a blunt weapon

[tawny solar]

His attacks are really easy to dodge and if you have poison resistance you should be fine

[pliant merlin]

There are easy ways to deal with him. Some of the trees in Swamp are indestructible, building a treehouse at his spawn is a very very safe way.

[steep tusk]

He's a zero-damage fight. You'll be fine!

[pliant merlin]

Its the adds thats usually peoples issue, they come from air even when you're far above ground, so roof is wise

[steep tusk]

His animations are super slow, so you have time to react to the adds throw and just nuke them on landing.

[pliant merlin]

Yes, when you know the drill all that is easy, but when you've never done him before panick may come lol

[steep tusk]

Hence my trying to dissuade the panick by encouraging 😭

[pliant merlin]

I remember back in the old days, hard times. First time was a nightmare, have no recollection of how many deaths we had.
So yes, keep encouraging, we dont want any rage-quitters here 😅

[digital cosmos]

I gave up on bonemass two times like 3 years ago and stopped playing. Started my solo world in the first days of this year and i think that tomorrow bonemass will get what he deserve

[tired root]

You'll emerge victorious.

[glad current]

Onward to victory!

[marble roost]

You got this!

May luck favor the bold

[gusty badger]

how do i get my wolves to stop having more puppies 💀

i finally understand why people are so adamant about fixing their dogs 💀

[hearty pollen]

Anyone have some recommendations of mods that involve summoning things

[marble roost]

Ask in #mods-discussion

[hearty pollen]

Thanks

[abstract eagle]

Don't feed them

[gusty badger]

aw

okay :(

[past wadi]

how to breed boars?
I get that you need something to tame them: mushroom or carrot.
but... how to get it to not run away?

[tacit glacier]

How many items are in the game, me and my friends beat all the bosses and want a museum with every item and we wanna know how many there are please give an exact number

[tired root]

They start to breed when they're close to each other, fed and not alerted (red ❗) .

[past wadi]

how to bring 2 of them together? only seem more then 1 veeery far from home

[tired root]

How far exactly? One can drag them with the help of abyssal harpoon.

[past wadi]

aby what?

[past wadi]

couple minutes of running

[tired root]

Have you happened to stumble upon island looking creatures with minable chitin on them?
It unlocks a crafting recipe for harpoon which can be used for pulling mobs around.

[tired root]

Boars also tend to have a habit to return to their spawn location even after being tamed. Their offsprings however don't.

[past wadi]

islan looking?

like Fransua?

[compact heath]

I thought you meant trophies, items oh well thats a lot.

[tired root]

They're called "leviathans" in Valheim.

[past wadi]

I only seen one from afar on while sailing

[tired root]

You could visit it and mine some chitin.

[past wadi]

how is 'rested' effect being restored?

[tired root]

Resting again.

[past wadi]

ok, how to rest?

[last osprey]

be in a sheltered space with a fire for 20 seconds or sit next to a campfire if you don't have a roof

[tired root]

Minimum is campfire and sitting beside it.

Otherwise fire effect and being sheltered.

[past wadi]

oh, 20 seconds...

[last osprey]

i think it's 20 anyway? But yeah, it takes a moment. You should see the "resting" buff pop up immediately once you sit down or get inside though.

also sleeping refreshes it immediately

[past wadi]

well sleeping is much harder to do

[drowsy crane]

Make a taming pen near your home, a square structure of tall fences, make the boar(s) chase you inside. If you are leading them from far away, let them hit you once and a while when you're leading them so they don't run back to their spawn point.

From there just close them in, and begin throwing berries/red mushrooms in to them, without them seeing you.

It should be just 3 berries/mushrooms per boar tame.

[past wadi]

sounds good

I thought I ahve to hold stuff in hand to lure them...

how do I know what stuff can be used to increase resting duration?

[drowsy crane]

The wiki has good information about this. https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Comfort

[tired root]

By testing you figure it out, or looking out from wiki.
But it's usually new furniture items you unlock.

[past wadi]

sad that "resting" page does not link to it

[drowsy crane]

It does, just in the middle of a description, the word "comfort" is a link to the page.

[past wadi]

what kind of bs is this?
I just get on a side of plains,
walk along the edge of it
and 5 seconds later I get backstabbed by mosquito and insta dead
0 knowledge gained about enemy, just unfun punishment

[glad current]

Welcome to the plains

[drowsy crane]

Most player's first lesson with getting near an unknown biome is the deathsquito

Hope you don't have the same encounter I did, where 3 of them hovered my body for ages.

[past wadi]

I have 2 of them on the body, and when I tried to aproach I didn' t see them through Fin's branches

[past wadi]

yeah feels like this game is grindy and discourages exploration

[drowsy crane]

I felt the opposite personally, compared to other survivals I found it to be low cost and plenty to explore where appropriate.

[last osprey]

it discourages careless exploration, not exploration in general

pretty sure the bird tells you that the first time you get near a black forest even

as for grindy that's mostly a matter of taste. Some people complain about things being too grindy when they have to go mine bronze 3-4 times to upgrade everything, others are fine farming enough stone for a giant castle

that's what the resource slider is for

[past wadi]

'welcome' party is joined by 2 goblins

[past wadi]

I would be fine if I got into a fight I would loose
getting insta death is just not fun period,
it wasn't even "oh, here comes new enemy's attack", just "boop, ya dead"

now there's also a bear..

[past wadi]

low cost exploration?

[pliant merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/goatplaybanjo-moustique-gif-14839772745420409881

[past wadi]

bear delt with them

ok i like this game again now

[subtle parrot]

🐻

[glad current]

Given time, you'll develop a "fight or flight" response to the high pitched buzzing. Which is suuuuper embarrassing when you panic over the bees back at base 😅 "Oh no! ...oh wait "

[woeful star]

You will also develop a sixth sense for detecting deathsquitos from afar

[glad current]

And for sniping the lil bastards from afar

[woeful star]

indeed

[undone monolith]

The day will come when it will not be insta death 👍

I remember going unprepared to the Swamp in my first playthrough and being killed in one hit by draugr too. And there's also the trolls. When we are chill in the Meadows and suddenly a troll comes out of the black forest for the first time and we just die. All biomes have those experiences. It just depends on how well we know the game and how prepared we are. The problem with the deathsquitos is that they are fast...

They are easy to parry tho. And they die easily too.

[past wadi]

all troll attacks have visual preparation.
mosquito just booped me

[undone monolith]

Yes, because they are fast.
But once you get used to them, they will be easy to parry/dodge.

[subtle parrot]

Or slash them before they stab you

[undone monolith]

That too. Once we know their timing and the distance and we know the timing of our attack, they are easy.

[marble roost]

I usually just chuck my spear at them

[rain sundial]

if valheim is out on PS5 this year, will there be crossplay? and would it support mods? sorry havent been following the dev news recently

[marble roost]

Crossplay yes

Mods, I have zero clue

in #mods-discussion they might know

[rain sundial]

thank you, does xbox support mods?

[marble roost]

I would guess probably but it's likely more tricky than PC

Idk, I've only played modless pc

Upon a surface level google search, it looks like Xbox doesn't really have mods so ps5 prob wouldn't either

[rain sundial]

how do i destroy a garland?

[marble roost]

I think they have kinda wonky hitboxes, but aim towards the ends of them?

idk they've been kinda buggy

[rain sundial]

i see, thank u

[thorn spire]

I found the hitbox very near the left side knot. The lights from the thistle will dim to grey when you hit it.

[rain sundial]

okay thank you both it worked

[thorn spire]

that's the fae lights one.

[rain sundial]

they both have the same hitbox

[thorn spire]

good to know

[drowsy crane]

Low cost = low material grind. That's a way of saying for me, it's not a big grind.

[woeful star]

Yea xbox doesnt have mods at the moment. But, if 1.0 adds modding into the game properly, its definitely a possibility!

[past wadi]

is there any reason to get two-handed altgeir over spear+shield?
Aside from material cost
