They could have at least let your normal upgrades carry over to the gem-upgraded version, even if it's a tiny upgrade - so it doesn't feel like regretful waste

[thorn spire]

The problem is that it's a question of semantics vs game design and mechanics. From a player perspective, adding the gem 'upgrades' the weapon. From the dev's perspective, you're creating a brand new weapon that happens to use an existing constructed item as base material so it's not an upgrade per se.

[outer cliff]

Imho, this is a bad mechanic. Better would be if a gem adds an effect on top of a normal weapon + upgrades

[thorn spire]

I've heard and also voiced the same complaint about mead base and food recipes. I think that meads using fish should produce multiples if you use higher ranked fish, same as fish'n'bread recipe.

[thorn spire]

Not arguing this, but it's easier the way they did it.

[outer cliff]

Because a game like this is best played blind. But a thing like this (with weapons and gems) punishes you for not reading an encyclopedia of "what not to do" first, that ruins the magic of the game

[lean ice]

Does anyone know if there is a fix for an issue on a dedicated server where no one can pick anything up, interact with anything, or hit anything?

[subtle parrot]

Have you tried restarting the server?

[lean ice]

I am giving that a go now

It was not doing this yesterday, it just chose to do it today. Infuriatingly, on the day we decided to start playing.

[subtle parrot]

That is typical of life sometimes

[lean ice]

It is guranteed it feels.

[terse field]

hi hi, i have a character made with friends and i wanna create a another for solo-play. when i click start game, it only gives the option of the character i made with friends.

is there any way to create another character?

[marble roost]

Yeah you can have as many characters as you want

I forget the exact buttons but you should be able to "create new" or something like that

[terse field]

is there a place to put pictures or images? beacuse i dont see that

[marble roost]

#screenshots

Either that's a bad screenshot, or your game window is slightly cut off (likely the second option)

So the buttons to click aren't showing on your screen because the window is too low

[terse field]

ohhh thank you king

👑

[lean ice]

Resetted the server.

Unable to place, pick up, or do anything.

[subtle parrot]

Are there any mods on the server? If so you may try asking in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues
If no mods, you may get a better answer in #dedicated-server

[lean ice]

There are mods!

[worn crest]

whats the best bronze weapon?

[tired root]

Best seems to be subjective. Anything you seem fancy enough, but giving honorable mention to atgeir which is great for crowd control and stagger power due to its secondary attack.

[worn crest]

alright thanks

[steep tusk]

Spear.

[narrow rampart]

Idk how to make my roof stable in the middle, it keeps falling apart no matter how many supports I put

[livid mortar]

Would it be viable to build a corewood pillar up to the center?

[narrow rampart]

Well Ive tried several corewood pillars in the center (in a pattern), but Im not sure if its the height or what but they keep failing at the ceiling panels

[bold bough]

In valheim do items respawn? Like I found a bunch of stuff in a burial chamber and I want some more. So items inside respawn after a time?

[frosty frost]

Only yellow mushrooms respawn in burial chambers in particular, regular dungeon loot doesn't respawn in most cases though.

[abstract eagle]

Too tall, only way would be to get iron beam. Or use stone to anchor the middle point

[hollow jackal]

which is better, huntsman or draugr fang in mountains=

and is wolfskin armour better than iron, or not worth the investment?

[frosty frost]

Both things are direct upgrades, so go for it if you can 🙂

[high orbit]

Hello, myu big ship is dissapearing every time i walk away from it. Is there something i can do to prevent that?

[finite goblet]

is there a way to access the unity command prompt for debugging purposes?

[subtle parrot]

Park where there's no creatures, they'll destroy your ship. They can also be destroyed by bumping the ground a bunch of it's storming.

[subtle parrot]

You on pc or xbox?

[finite goblet]

pc

[frosty frost]

Or, alternatively, as of CtA update you dont have to go to steam properties and you can just select enable console in game in normal settings 🙂

[terse field]

is there a delete button? i accidentally crafted some items instead of upgrading them, now theyre hoarding space in my inventory.

is there a delete button?

[frosty frost]

Once you get to Swamps and you find Black forest trader you will get access to a "trash bin" 🙂
Or you can just throw the item on the ground somewhere away from your base and it will despawn after 2 in-game days 😄

[subtle parrot]

W for pc users

[frosty frost]

-# Its also on x-box afaik 😉 so probably also on Mac. Which means win for everyone 😄

[subtle parrot]

On xbox you didn't even have to "enable" them in the settings before lol but it's not a bad thing

[frosty frost]

Aaaah, true, i don't play on it so forgot about it. 😄
But now you just enable it once and you are good to go essentially forever, so its still good

And for steam at least you don't have to enable it in settings if you did it the "old way" since it takes priority over the menu setting 🙂

[compact heath]

Keep the Huntsmen, it has an advantage over other bows, it has the least amount of noise, so you can shoot at things and not alert their neighbours standing very close like in plains biome etc in the villages, Draugr is overall more damage but makes much more noise, if you already have aggro on something and have both boths you should then shoot at them with Draugr fang. I sometimes just keep the Huntsmen for longer though.

[true steeple]

I've never made draugr fang

[finite goblet]

not the dev commands. i meant the unity debug console

im getting an error message that says to type a command in the unity console

not the valheim devcommands

[flint oar]

So, After 3 years and getting up to the Mistlands everytime and falling off to life and all that. Me and my GF finally made it to Ashlands... wtf is the logic to the hordes of 15 plus enemies in every square inch i try and build solo and have to fight everything including bonemaws shooting me from the ocean. You can sya skill issue or whatever I just dont see the enjoyment of being solo and constantly getting creeper blown up by sneaky blobs and nonstop 1 star enemies 2 shotting me as a mage build. Sorry for the rant I'm just frustrated its not challenging enemies but hordes on top of hordes in a bus on another bus. (I've killed 3 spawners and placed campfires everywhere.) P.S. I absolutely love Valheim this is just a weird change of pace for me and idk how I feel.

[subtle parrot]

Sorry, i don't know then

[somber nacelle]

bro i need chains

[subtle parrot]

I've found that making a shield generator asap helps but, yeh keep slapping down campfires as much as possible. I definitely understand your frustrations as i play solo, and it can be difficult. My last playthrough i got lucky and found a nice piece of shore with very few spawns and the closest spawners were a pretty good distance from where i landed my ship.

[subtle parrot]

Kill wraiths in swamps at night, or try to find them in chests in sunken crypts in swamps

[somber nacelle]

they so rare sighhh

[subtle parrot]

Crypts can be rare, but if you don't find any in one swamp, try to find another swamp

[graceful coral]

Hey lads, do I not understand something or what's up with the new bears? They hit like a truck, all be it easily dodgeable, but with my stone axe I been chipping away from one for like 10 minutes straight and I ain't got passed half point.

[flint oar]

I can't even look for a better area because the onslaught. I shouldnt have to repair my maxxed out frostnir or mistwalker constantly for how much im fighting just looking for flametal or a lower density of enemies. The spawn rates are crazy. Killed 5 charred, 7 vultures, 3 Askvins, 1 Valkyrie, and 4 lava blobs walking for 2 seconds, to watch MORE charred come out of the lava? like WTF

[subtle parrot]

Fire kills them pretty fast but they run away

[subtle parrot]

It's best to keep running if you're exploring, i wouldn't try to fight everything that chases you, they'll leave you alone after a while for the most part.

[graceful coral]

just surprized devs desided to put something so chunky right in the beginning. Guess gotta avoid them for now.

[flint oar]

I want to beleive that, but as I run i get out of stamina and volleys of archers just light me up. Avoiding one group of enemies for another walking to me. I'm in sensory hell its like playing literal DOOM for how nonstop the combat is. This is the first time in 3 years I need to take a break from the game just because I cant stand it.

[graceful coral]

Btw as nobody at the mod channel for now, anybody knows what adds little gravestone marks like mini versions of the ones you get your items from?

[marble roost]

Yea it’s a lot, but if you just want to build slap some campfires around to surpress spawns and you’ll be good

Just have to deal with the hordes when venturing out

Ashlands spawns don’t seem too intense to me, but that might also be because I played it in beta where spawns and agro was tuned way higher 😅

In any case tjough it’s a huge step up from other biomes. I think it’s also in part to utilize the mechanic of most Ashlands mobs being able to friendly fire each other and players have to use that to their advantage, but it can get quite annoying after a while

[flint oar]

Currently placed 28 campfires around. they just dont care. walking out of the lava. destroyed 3 spawners near me and I se no difference if not more enemies spawning. sorry Im complaining just never had this emotion with Valheim.

[marble roost]

Hmm odd, I usually don’t have any issues after slapping down campfires. Maybe a bad spot?

One small tip is that the ruins in the Ashlands surpress spawns in a small radius automatically. But probably too little too late at this point

[flint oar]

My base is in ruins and I have ruins all around me thinking that would help lol, watching Dvenger get slaughtered and immediatly aggro me when im sneaking lol

[marble roost]

It’s rough times for a Viking

If it’s any reprieve, Deep North is supposed to be more peaceful and idyllic

With just more localized pockets of mobs

[flint oar]

Looking foward to it, but I will eventually master it just right now it feels near impossible.

[somber nacelle]

is there a certain type of armor needed to explore the mountain?

[frosty frost]

Nope, you will unlock one that will make stay there much easier once you progress a bit into mountains, but to start there you will want certain mead 🙂

[somber nacelle]

ohhh so i do need the ||mead|| in order to start there also is the ||mountain biome|| after the ||swamp and plains? ||

[compact heath]

Swamp is 3, Mountain 4 and Plains 5

[frosty frost]

You will want ||frost resist|| mead to start exploring mountains, and progression goes swamps -> mountains -> plains 🙂

[somber nacelle]

REALLY bro i thought ||plains|| was before mountain wtf

[frosty frost]

Nope 😄 after them

[somber nacelle]

damn bro thank you i just never thought there was a way to access without some sort of warm gear you know

[somber nacelle]

welp this changes everything but what about ||bonemass||?

[frosty frost]

His drop will help you find new resource in the mountains 🙂

[somber nacelle]

ohh so i need his drop to mine the ||obsidian?||

or is that just the iron pick

[subtle parrot]

His drop will help you find ||silver|| it will make a chime and flash while it is equipped when close to hidden treasure

[somber nacelle]

ohhhhh so i need to beat him for the next ore

[frosty frost]

For that you just need iron pick, but for new metal you should get the bonemass drop 🙂

[somber nacelle]

thank you so much

[rancid sigil]

any tips on how to not suffer in the last biome?

[marble roost]

Spawn proofing

Magic

Use enemies friendly fire against each other

Askvin cloak and ratatosk to run away from your troubles is nice too

[zinc crater]

A mistwalker does wonders as well

[obtuse echo]

The last biome?? I'm getting bbq'd in the mountains LOL

[flint oar]

baaaahahaahah. So i get a grip in Ashlands and then get rewarded with 2x 2 star champions guarding my base... I cant get a win

5 sets of armor being guarded by enemies. love it

[marble roost]

Go ZOOOOOOM past them

[flint oar]

i did the other 4 times

[swift parrot]

how to kill moder without getting ganged on by wolves and drakes

died more times to the wolves then to moder

[marble roost]

Kill the wolves and drakes

Or place down campfires all around the place as they block spawns in a radius

[dusky gyro]

Hey guys. I got the forge/bronze bars but I dont see any trinkets. I have the latest patch. am i doing something wrong? They dont appear

[flint oar]

you have to find all ingredients/materials to craft.

[dusky gyro]

oh i have everything for the first one from shamans. still doesnt show in forge

Heart of the Forest one

[flint oar]

Ancient seeds?

[dusky gyro]

ohh u need 5 just checked wiki. i got 4. so once i get 5 it will appear? my bad😅

thank you!

[flint oar]

Im so sick of it. Ashlands has broke me. Thank youfor the fun Valheim...

[finite goblet]

and this is one of the many reasons i play with marsarah tweaks

[marble roost]

Should appear as a recipe soon as you have 1 of each item

[compact heath]

Get valheimrescues or someone to help you. I once had all my armour sets in a Mistlands mine, I defeated a 2 star seeker with a level 1 krom and food, apart from that I was naked. I believe in you!

[flint oar]

Me and my Gf spent 12 hours today trying to get one flametal, find out the leviatans disapear while mineing, fighting, dieing, armor mising in lava now, loosing everything. Its absolutely uneccisarily difficult. I love games like dark souls. at least the enemies can be cleared. this is non stop FAIL FAIL FAIL, with minimum teenie tiny reward. We just decided to give up and uninstall the game after 3 year sof it bringing us happiness it has failed us. Also we changed the difficulty to easy. still unplayable.

[olive ocean]

damn

[compact heath]

I'd recommend getting some helpers, and gear usually can be gotten back with the bombs most times in lava, also try putting down some spawnproofing maybe? I can also say that ashlands was harder at the beginning and during initial tests - its now my favourite biome. Sad that you struggled there so much. You can also get flametal from fortress not only pillars.

[olive ocean]

it is kinda ass with all the enemies indeed

adaptable tho

[olive ocean]

wdym by, with bombs?

[flint oar]

Helpers? I have max Carapace armor, most biomes give you max equal to the lowest rank armor of the next. I die in one hit since at all times all we have 1 and 2 star enemies. Plains - Adaptable, Mistlands - Adaptable. This what ever the fuck this biome is... no longer enjoy this game.legit doing god mode to get our stuff out of the lava. cant make the basalt bombs because when we fight a Ashkin we have 50 enemies nonstop. its horde mode unlimited daily, every 5 feet

[olive ocean]

sorry to hear that, if it means anything id be down to help you fr

[compact heath]

Basalt bombs to cross lava

Crafted at workbench I think

[olive ocean]

i used to hate ashlands fr lol, but after time i came to learn strategy with tactics to defeat the challenge

[flint oar]

I'm really good at that and enjoy the fuck out of figuring out the strategy... my blood pressure has sky rocketed. I truly am heart broken.

[topaz monolith]

Hello guys, I want to make a base in the plains but I have an issue, it's so foggy, any reason why?

[olive ocean]

weather effects

it comes and goes a lot

[topaz monolith]

Okay, thx

[odd lotus]

anyone here looking to help slay / find the queen

[tired root]

Fog isn't that bad tho, as you can still spot ||viles|| easily through it.

[drowsy crane]

Sounds like growing pains to me, all biomes have them. Ashlands is pretty tricky but learning how to deal will come over time. I would recommend running throughout your Ashlands area with Ratatosk and marking all the caves(Putrid Holes). These can make great hideaways when you need to catch your breath or refresh your rested buff.

[full veldt]

hey so is there a way to give an effect or do raiseskill on another person throw console?

I remember me doing this somehow like a year or so ago

[barren canopy]

do i need to be near my boars for them to breed?\

[subtle parrot]

I don't think you can raise another players skill, but they can go into their own world and enable console and use the command themselves

[flint oar]

I absolutely agree. I've attempted this so many times. Reccently looking at forums, there are sooooooo many people who agree. Having every single enemy on screen 98% of the time in Ashlands is ridiculous. Having war bands patrolling the biome, hell yea. But this nonstop onslaught is unbearable. I hide in putrid holes, just to waiting hordes. They dont leave they pause till you re-enter. Watching videos of the beta test for Ashlands and it looks and feels exactly the same! Its so awful. I commend any of you who can deal with it. But i ask if youre doing it solo or with just one other person. We put it in casual to just walk and see wtf we were getting into and STILL died. Im not terrible at the game neither is my gf. Im so lost for words, us both just having this rancid, unpalettable taste in our mouth with Valheim. Again we are so heart broken. I compare it to dating someone for years and you finally commit and they 180 their whole personality.

[jolly anvil]

Mostly I just hate the lava in the Ashlands. The monsters are defeatable once your magic gets high enough and I avoid going out at night. Sneaking constantly and killing from a distance from a crouch then sending in the skellies with the wipppng vines is OP

[marble roost]

Yeah magic being OP does tend to make things easier

[jolly anvil]

I know the himinafal staggers everyone but the bear. I don’t do combat much. I’m a ranger type so I stealth and kill from afar. It’s slow AF but himanafal might be good once you get surrounded

I go to the plains to practice magic and get the levels up really high. It helps having high blood magic and a good bubble. Then Ashlands are workable.

[flint oar]

Farming mistlands for 3 real days getting my stats around 70-80 range... died so much my stats are based at 10-15 now.

[jolly anvil]

Hummm that sounds so weird once the spawners are taken care of the Ashlands have been do-able. Sorry to hear you are having so many problems. Not sure why it’s such an insane onslaught

[steep tusk]

Fireball conquers all until Wilds.

[jolly anvil]

I usually don’t stay in the Ashlands at night unless I’m in my fortrace base. And even then a valcorie comes along and tries to kick my butt

[marble roost]

Boiky sounds to me like he/she is pretty good strategically, but Ashlands does require some nice skill/reflexes as well. Otherwise it can be a rough time

[steep tusk]

Reflexes?

Sees thing in distance that is at least 10-15s away.
Pulls out fireball staff.
With 8-13s to go... waits for enemy to be closer.
Starts unloading fireballs when enemy is still 3-5s away.
Enemy dies before ever getting close.

[jolly anvil]

I never get anywhere fast. It’s slow going. If I do end up somewhere at night it’s usually up on a spire somewhere in a crouch hiding for the whole night. I usually take down one enemy at a time from afar to avoid getting swarmed.

[flint oar]

here is a example how we play,

move about together sneaking, stop for stamina. vulture spots you because a tree got lit on fire, kill it all the hordes are moving. move then realize have to sprint because they all walk faster then us, even in light armour. take a stamina potion to try and kill some since now we are being chased by every posible spawn in the ashlands, kill em all to wait for stamina to turn around to 50 more, run, sneak, doesnt matter they are all here. dvenger slow em dow for .3 seconds. another full horde with 1-2 stars enemies who one shot my best armor with 300+ health. we see spawners, destroy em. turn around and take another stamina potion or health potion realizing its only been 2 minutes so we cant. cant run so try and hide/ walk till stamina is up. typically die to stamina ran out and the sword range dominates. Die, retrieve, die, run to retrieve, die, portal, die. acquire gear again, die. log out of game and have a whiskey. relog get gear back finally grace of Odin, realize i need to get my other armors i lost trying to get gear. die, die, die. get everything back and decide to bitch on the discord becasue me and my gf are pulling our hair out over this area.

[jolly anvil]

Seeing one stars out during the day is super weird. What the heck is going on in your world???

[steep tusk]

Sounds like you're wasting a looooottttt of stamina on sneaking.

[flint oar]

2 star champions... ALL THE TIME. I need the health so my stamina isnt that great. Ive tried all possible combinations I can. only way to upgrade the foor is to, wait for it. farm in the ashlands which kills me and wastes any food i have made.

[steep tusk]

2 starred Warrior does exactly 300 damage, which would never one-shot you at 300+, and would one-shot you at 300- only if you were naked.

[jolly anvil]

Is it possible there is some kind of glitch?

Have you tried turning the Ashlands off and then on again?

[steep tusk]

Not really, this just sounds like bad combat play 🤷‍♂️ (not being insulting, everyone has different things they are good at).

[flint oar]

Between hitting and breaking my poise with my maxed out carapace shield in one hit, or rolling and killing my stamina every other mob i kill me

[marble roost]

Yeah melee does require pretty good mechanics

[jolly anvil]

I don’t mess with melee combat.

[marble roost]

Magic is more of the easy route

Once you get real good with melee its very engaging though

[flint oar]

for the last 3 years I have loved being a full tank, or a dps tank all my methods get me kills. when the bears came out i loved fist fighting them for fun. the challenge was great. if every mob in the black forrest attacked me every second id not play teh game. its a ninja gaiden game at that point

[steep tusk]

The sole enemy in the game that cannot be parried by the Carapace Buckler is Lord Reto... so.. 🤷‍♂️

[jolly anvil]

I’m exploring new melee now starting over. Just learning to dodge and such but it’s a whole different game.

Nice that you can try different combat styles

[steep tusk]

Parry costing zero stamina again makes melee runs an absolute breeze now.

[flint oar]

I can parry em, but my poise is depleted immediatly, then dealign with 12 more enemies, and the twitcher 1 stars kill me with ROCKS while im trying to kite and kill around slowly dwindling the mobs... untill i realize more keep coming

[jolly anvil]

Watching lolli on YouTube got me interested that it was even possible.

[steep tusk]

Is "stagger" translated to "poise" in another language?

[flint oar]

in what game?

[steep tusk]

In Valheim.

[flint oar]

Poise is when you parry and have a sheild bar. brekaing your poise staggers you.

[steep tusk]

Stagger Meter is the orange thing that fills when you parry.
Poise is a word you are attempting to make catch on.

[marble roost]

mhm, I started out using bows and magic a lot

Now I've shifted to banning bows, only running like half an eitr food for some supplemental magic, and just embracing the melee. I'm particularly fond of fist weapons and battleaxes that can just stagger enemies in a hit or two

[flint oar]

no its a term used throughout darksouls style games. so i apologize if you dont understand. "break your poise you stagger"

[steep tusk]

Is this Dark Souls? 👀

Did Valheim copy/paste all terminology from another game instead of using their own words? 👀

👀

[flint oar]

no but i speak english so ill use the terms comfortable to me thank you.

[steep tusk]

You want to talk poise, hop in the DS discord.
You want to talk about actual Valheim mechanics, it's Stagger.

[flint oar]

your joking? well there was bound to be someone to push their glasses up and start something.

save it im blocking you

[steep tusk]

I gave you the 100% benefit of the doubt that it was just a translation thing and that where the game says "stagger" it comes out as "poise" in other languages.
You then proceeded to say "nope, I'm just overwriting established terms because fuck accuracy and people understanding me."

So... 🤷‍♂️

[flint oar]

the rest of you thank you for your input i will try again soon and see if i can grip it.

[steep tusk]

X for Doubt.

[olive ocean]

poise and stagger are interchangeable lol

[steep tusk]

Someone's never coded...

[olive ocean]

insanely irrelevant

[steep tusk]

Sanely relevant to why terms have meaning and matter.

[olive ocean]

posture

[steep tusk]

It's going to be a blocking type of day isn't it...

+1

[olive ocean]

toxic

came in swingin

[olive ocean]

this is funny

[flint oar]

So if you are in a block stance, youre in a anti stagger? hoilding your shield or parrying is a poise posture, if it breaks you are staggered. google definititions.

#save line for poise attribute to build up before character staggers on attack. defense number added to block or parry numbers against enemy attack.

[olive ocean]

well they are right as stagger and poise mean opposite of eachother, but whey you talk about the bar its honestly semantics, poise break is a stagger, you 'lose' ur poise bar = you get ur stagger bar 'filled'

[flint oar]

literally all i was saying, thank you

[olive ocean]

but yeah they repeatedly lose their shit, keeps me from coming here often

im very deep into the souls games anyway, cool to see someone mention them here

[flint oar]

"if you play forza and then need for speed dont you dare call it acceleration its a different game man!"

[subtle parrot]

Anyways, just don't fight everything, I played through solo on hard full melee, just keep moving not necessarily sprinting everywhere. Conserve your stamina for when you need it.

[olive ocean]

i just bubble and plant some roots, very effective

ember up too

dark souls....

[subtle parrot]

Ofc magic is great but boinky is trying to do it melee, so I'm just saying it's better not to get stuck fighting everything and keep moving

[frosty frost]

Magic makes it much easier, but melee is much more fun 🙂

[woeful star]

Yea I read this all haha. Just such unnecessary toxicity. Like wow, someone used a different word. Such a non-issue that they made into an issue in their head

[steep tusk]

Spears make everything more fun 😉

[frosty frost]

Not big fan of them, but for people who enjoy them, 100% 😄

[steep tusk]

Wait, I'll just call them "finpointers" because that's a term I am comfortable with. (and words no longer have meaning...)

🙄

[steep tusk]

They really don't take off (imo) until Mountain. Once you have Wolf Trinket they are insane.

I wish Wolf gave stamina return the way Shackle does though 😭
Just another way they cater to swords #Favoritism!!!!! 😛

[olive ocean]

🙏

[tired root]

[steep tusk]

Battleaxe just a hair too slow on the initial windup for me 😭

But I highly doubt that will ever be changed. So they remain "decorative items" in my world 😁

[waxen field]

Does anyone know the aggression radius of a tamed Askvin?

[steep tusk]

I believe it is the same as the wolf. But I don't have exact numbers on either.

[frosty frost]

They are not listed as one of the exceptions, so they should see for 30 meters, with 90° angle and alert at 20 meters

[true steeple]

30m hearing limit
150 degree view angle
35m view range

[steep tusk]

Blobgoatcake.

[frosty frost]

So wiki isnt updated on these yet... Kk 😄

[steep tusk]

[waxen field]

fuuuh

[tired root]

Yeah, Asksvin are quite perceptive.

[flint oar]

i havent unlocked that staff yet. dont tell me tho i like finding things. but thanks agaiin everyone

[olive ocean]

ur in ashlands tho?

have a look around ig

[flint oar]

asking me? yea i seen the sparking staff. unles i overlooked it.

[olive ocean]

sparking

[flint oar]

im sorry im not in game, it explodees and sparks about a bit

[olive ocean]

i think i know it, wont spoil, it was ass when i used it

[flint oar]

fracturing

[olive ocean]

oh.... that ones decent

[flint oar]

I tried it and it just seemed way less powerful than the embers. i asume its good for mining the ore? like a play on words for fracking. dont tell you know who we may have another language word fight.

[marble roost]

Don't think it is no. Overall it's not amazing, more of a sidegrade to embers

I think once it gets levelled up more (can't level it fully with current stations) it'll have a lot of fire damage (much more than embers) which might be rly nice for Deep North

[olive ocean]

i found it good for single target close combat

[flint oar]

ill revisit it again and try. I'll leave you all alone and try it with my gf today and see what happens. thanks again to you all who had real inputs i noted what yall said and will practice it.

[olive ocean]

no worries

[tired root]

Aiming at lower part of bigger target has better chances to get all clusters hit the same target after the first hit, which ramps up the fire damage tick tremendously.

Comparing to Ember staff, it has poor AoE capability but higher single target damage.

[timid skiff]

Hello, I recently updated to the newest release. Is it normal to have to hold down the right analog stick on an xb1 controller to enter crouch? It wasn't like that before, and I see no option to change it.

[steep tusk]

Is this on PC using controller or on Xbox proper?

[timid skiff]

[steep tusk]

Unfortunately I am now on my way out the door... at the time of your message I was going to log in and see if I could find the button for you.

[timid skiff]

No problem 😎

I'll be around...

[grim knoll]

What is the easiest way to prevent people from cheating on your dedicated server besides banning them?

[tired root]

Do you mean when they are bringing spawned OP items from other world to the server?

Or what kind of cheating?

[grim knoll]

For example traveling impossibly fast across the map

[marble roost]

I wanna say there are certain mods that prevent/detect people from cheating. At least most forms of cheating? Idk, haven't looked into it personally

[tired root]

Using commands like fly should not be possible in dedicated servers without mods.

There are few ways to travel fast without cheats tho.

[marble roost]

Also do you see them travelling with your eyes or just on the map?

[grim knoll]

Can someone that joins my dedicated server that uses no mods use mods on their client side to cheat with fast travel?

[marble roost]

I believe people can use some mods on an unmodded server yeah.

I once played on a vanilla server but at one point visited 2 people who were planting their own berry bushes.

Didn't hurt anyone, but was interesting for me to see

[tired root]

I'm not sure since I don't use mods.

[marble roost]

One small note though: I believe anytime someone teleports, on the map it just shows them travelling pretty quickly from Portal A to Portal B. It doesn't show an instant teleport

[grim knoll]

On the map, but it was not portals, the person made turns like exploring the map

[marble roost]

Interesting

There is also the possibility of launching themselves with a ||catapult and feather cape|| if late game, but, could totally be mods yeah

[timid skiff]

Aren't there ways to ensure remote player mods match server configuration? And otherwise deny access to people using different set ups?

[subtle parrot]

Currently with the new update, on controllers specifically the crouch is bugged to have to hold it down they will fix it in the next hotfix afaik

[timid skiff]

Thank you for the input. I thought it was weird behavior. Not really a big deal, just a bit clunky.

[subtle parrot]

Indeed

[compact heath]

Yes there is ways with anti cheat mods, but this will need to be client side and server side and does disable xbox crossplay and people who don't know how to use mods from joining.

[orchid scarab]

What are the possible names and values for the console command:

setworldmodifier [name] [value]

Alternatively, can I just change this in the server files? It's for a dedicated server.

[grave pulsar]

Do wolves ever follow you through portals?

[echo sparrow]

they cannot

[grave pulsar]

Drat

[echo sparrow]

on the PLUS side, you never have to wonder about tames wandering into the portals you left around

[grave pulsar]

True. I just don't like the multi base. Lol. A girl can dream

[compact heath]

its a grand adventure to transport wolves 🙂

[grave pulsar]

Boats?

[ebon dock]

I just got a Logitech F310 Controller for My Birthday, input D works with everything on my Mac but not for Mac Valheim or Steam Valheim, X input does not work with Mac?

[timid skiff]

https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1806 or if you prefer TS https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/OdinPlus/TeleportEverything/

Either way, it's got what you need.

[grave pulsar]

Thank you!

[dusk radish]

is there a way to farm my carrots faster i have like 150 fully grown all in pretty close proximity but im not trying to individually collect them every time

[subtle parrot]

In the third biome you can find the bog witch, she'll sell you a scythe handle but then you need to get silver from the 4th biome to craft the scythe

[weary remnant]

is it possible to play together with those with unoriginal valheim when i have the original?

[dusk radish]

do sconces build up smoke in your house over time

[subtle parrot]

Not really

[subtle parrot]

Do you mean modded by "unoriginal"?

[dusk radish]

i put a bunch in a warehouse with no chimney so it does matter if they do at all

[weary remnant]

sory, i meant pirate copy

[subtle parrot]

No idea on that tbh

[subtle parrot]

I'm not really sure on that as i don't really use sconces, but the few times i have used them it was only a couple and they didn't seem to give off much smoke from what i recall

[stoic trench]

Your friend will have to have an official version of Valheim

But pirating Valheim is kinda scummy tbh

[lost sandal]

Be careful with bringing up pirating Valheim here. We don't take too kindly to it, and discussing piracy is against the official Discord ToS. Being that you have it legit there'll be no consequence to you, but keep that in mind.

[past wadi]

thanks Valve for making family library which let me try Valheim and now I have more then 100 hours in it

[marble roost]

That’s what I did lmao

After 20 minutes I was hooked

[stoic trench]

Personally I’m still trying out Valheim, trying to see if it’s for me or not. 1000 hours into my trial currently 🤔

[warm olive]

to mine the giant remains at a dverger extraction sight do i need to break the ward or am i okay just mining out the soft tissue?

[stoic trench]

If you mine while the ward is active, the Dvergr will aggro on you

[warm olive]

okay

[subtle parrot]

Same lol

[sturdy folio]

Your monthly Valheim trial subscription is about to expire. Open Valheim to continue your subscription.

[jolly anvil]

Just sharing how I do it I practice sneaking while I pick carrots. Makes it feel like it’s a bit more productive and I love to grind up my sneaking. I know people used to use the himanofal to harvest with the third attack but then they introduced the farming syth so I am not sure if that works the same anymore. I like the sneak/picking carrots strategy but that’s just me.

[subtle parrot]

I feel like a bronze scythe would be a nice addition, with less range than the silver scythe or something

[hallow plaza]

Qol is a bug, not a feature

[sturdy folio]

Quality of life is more of a feature. But yes, some qol features can be found as an unintended bug

[stoic trench]

I still really think the scythe handle should’ve been loot from fuling villages instead of purchased post-Moder 🤔

[subtle parrot]

That would make sense, exchange the random grinding wheel for a random scythe handle.

[stoic trench]

My thoughts exactly

[inner kelp]

how do i get lox to reproduce themselves?

[stoic trench]

Hello Jack Mehoff, you can breed Lox by feeding them cloudberries and keeping them near each other!

[inner kelp]

does it matter if there are more than two lox nearby?

[stoic trench]

There’s maximum amount of lox that can be a given area, so if you have a farm of them make sure you cull some of them. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

[inner kelp]

oh okay, could that limit be 4 because now i have 2 lox and 2 lox calf and they dont reproduce

[tall mulch]

yo wsg, im starting out and for some reason i cant create any forge or workbench improvements, the recepies apeared before but now they are gone, any fixes?

[abstract eagle]

Yes, make a larger area or lox tower. 20 m is the limit

[inner kelp]

what's a lox tower

[abstract eagle]

When you have 2 lox reproducing and babies fall down the chute and satisfy 20 m requirements

In some bases I make a dry moat and surround my base and let lox breed there, that way they dont destroy walls and kill anything that may fall in. They do love to climb on top of each other

[rigid flicker]

Is there a way for me to monitor who is crafting what in my server? Got somebody that does not understand "sharing is caring" and using up all the mats

[subtle parrot]

Just to be sure, you're looking in the hammer menu under the crafting tab?

[tall mulch]

yeah i was very stupid some guys in vc helped me, thanks tho

[subtle parrot]

No worries

[waxen field]

What do you do after the Ashlands 🙏💔

[full mesa]

870 hours into it:
Hmmm not sure if it for me

God bless family share honestly lol

I already knew about this game before I had it family shared with my brother

[inner kelp]

in case that i im making it, how do i protect them from mosquitoes?

[bold bough]

am I doing somethign wrong? i put a lot of copper ore into my smelter but it only gives me tin

[ocean shoal]

there was tin in there before you added the copper 😄

[bold bough]

is there a way to see inside?

[ocean shoal]

you can deconstruct it to skip smelting the tin but no

[bold bough]

and is there a way to remove some ore?

oh, thank you!

[ocean shoal]

just chop some more tree and wait is the best

[ocean shoal]

i guess you will put only limited free supplies and the rest behind protection runes thingies?

[rigid flicker]

Eh I'd rather find the culprit or bug if it's a mod

[bold bough]

im a solo player and im wondering how the heck I beat the skeletons in the burial chamber

i can't see anything so I cant hold a shield since I need a torch in one hand. I have deer armor and a spear

im trying to get a sultry core

[tired root]

3500+ hours: I think the game is quite okay.

[ocean shoal]

it should be possible to get your monitor/tv/graphics settings light enough to at least be able to navigate without a torch

[marble pagoda]

5006.8 hours: its aight

[waxen field]

How tall can Vineberry Clusters grow? and are they growable in the meadows?

[full mesa]

Vineberries can grow pretty tall but its not worth it if you are actually trying to farm vineberries

Vineberries can grow in:
Meadows
Blackforest
Plains
Mistlands
Ashlands (Under a shield generator)

[waxen field]

Wdym by pretty tall

Because they grow the same amount on the same source?

Wanted to go for 1x3 meters

[full mesa]

Around like 4-5 wood wall weight
(I could be incorrect with this one since when I first planted them against a wall it grown to about 4 wooden wall height)

[waxen field]

why is it not worth tho

[full mesa]

The vineberries are a bit random, whilst in paper bigger vines = more vineberries but in practice they grow randomly somtimes you might get 4 sometimes just 3 or even 5

If you get a wood post and plant the seed against it, its a guaranteed vineberry to spawn vs compared the randomly grown ones on big vines

[waxen field]

Ight. What about spacing?

Would one seed against a 1 meter wide wall work?

Or should I put a half meter space between each wall?

[full mesa]

Spacing is 4 meters in order to grow another ashvine

So
Post > 2meter > 2meter > Post

Do note you cant plant another ashvine on a post that already has an ashvine

Say you got an ashvine on the north side of the post, you cant grow another one on the south side

This is basically the layout of the vineberry farm

Post - 2meter - 2meter - Post
1meter 1meter
Post - 2meter - 2meter - Post
2meter 2meter
2meter 2meter
Post - 2meter - 2meter - Post

And repeat for how many you want

It might be a bit confusing trying to comprehend this masterpiece of a explanation of mine but you'll get it

[waxen field]

4???

[waxen field]

oh, that's cool

[waxen field]

no I get it

[full mesa]

Hold on let me correct it

Im not on my laptop atm so this is the best way I can visualize it

[waxen field]

So where do I put the seeds then...

[full mesa]

If you want nore detailed info

here: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1d5tih6/extensive_ashvines_farming_guide/

If I was at my laptop rn this could have been explained in 1 screenshot 😭

[waxen field]

 Post - 4m Space - Post
  1m                1m 
 Post - 4m Space - Post
  2m (seed)         2m (seed)
  2m (seed)         2m (seed)
 Post - 4m Space - Post```

Like this?

[full mesa]

Not in the 1meter area but in the 2meter area

Almost like the vineberries are facing each other

[full mesa]

Yes

[waxen field]

And I could technically infinity do this like:

 Post - 4m Space - Post
  1m                1m 
 Post - 4m Space - Post
  2m (seed)         2m (seed)
  2m (seed)         2m (seed)```

Post - 4m Space - Post
1m 1m
Post - 4m Space - Post
2m (seed) 2m (seed)
2m (seed) 2m (seed)```

 Post - 4m Space - Post
  1m                1m 
 Post - 4m Space - Post
  2m (seed)         2m (seed)
  2m (seed)         2m (seed)
 Post - 4m Space - Post```

[full mesa]

The 1meter is just the spacing required to plant another row of ashvines

Yep exactly like that

[waxen field]

Awesome, Thank you a lot

[full mesa]

Like I said this would have been explained much better if I was at my laptop atm 🫠

[waxen field]

all good

[full mesa]

And just took a screenshot of my farm

[full mesa]

You can expand it however you like in rows or columns

Just follow that and you'll be good

[waxen field]

Deforestation ❤️

[bold bough]

how do you beat bears and trolls? i dont have bronze armor yet

[woeful star]

with a lot of caution

roll into their attacks, apart from where the troll smashes down with both fists

[hallow plaza]

Poke to death with fire arrows, or dodge roll/parry

[true steeple]

You can still roll through this

if you want to be more aggressive against the bears you can move to their side instead of rolling

[steep tusk]

Bears - hold a torch.
Trolls - dodge until you get bronze buckler (armor does not help you with blocking/parrying).

[bold bough]

how you guys play solo? like im getting swarmed by nonstop waves of enemies when im mining in black forest

[true steeple]

is there a spawner nearby? otherwise it'll just be regular greydwarves that you should be able to continue mining around

you can place a campfire if you really want to keep them away

[steep tusk]

Build a wall around your node?
Or, as Blob said check for a spawner.
Otherwise it is just mine - kill 3 enemies every... 4 minutes? - continue mining.

[bold bough]

wait campfire works?! wow

it's one of those poison dwarves that heals itself with a bunch of them

[true steeple]

they have one-time spawns at some locations. If those enemies keep coming there must be a spawner
unless you're mining at night

[winged needle]

I'm getting a little frustrated with my pickaxes being as exhausting as they are. I'm still only skill 50 after about 4 quadrillion hours played. Am I missing something?

[celest bridge]

guys can anyone help when i launch valheim (pc) i cant get past the irongate logo before it crashes

[lapis terrace]

remove mods, validate game files

[celest bridge]

i already validated the game files and im playing without mods

[lapis terrace]

never had mods?

[celest bridge]

yes

[lapis terrace]

do you have a AMD graphics card?

[celest bridge]

no, nvidia 4070

[lapis terrace]

you played valheim before?

[celest bridge]

yea, was working fine a couple days ago

[lapis terrace]

hm..

we haven't really done anything on our end 🤔

[celest bridge]

OH MY GOD I TRIED AGAIN ITS RANDOMLY WORKING

[tiny gulch]

How can I find starred boars?
it is beyond painful running around finding them and another is LURING them back to my boar pen

[celest bridge]

i litteraly changed nothing lmao

[lapis terrace]

you need to about 1000 meters away from the start area

[lapis terrace]

funky 🤔

[winged needle]

They spawn relatively frequently the farther away from the center of the map you explore. If you find a distant Boar stone in a meadows biome on another island, you can kill all the boars and set up an enclosure nearby while you wait for more to spawn. Eventually some will be starred.

[winged needle]

I blame Odin.

[tiny gulch]

ogh, so theres no point luring em to the pen I already built???

[celest bridge]

lol

[tiny gulch]

rip, how can I tell if I reached the 1000 meters distance?

[winged needle]

I wouldn't say no point, but you might be better off taming them out there and then shipping them home.

[tiny gulch]

right, welp time to bring down the old boar pen- wasnt bringing much meat anyway, how would I know if I reached the correct distance though?

[winged needle]

TBH I found them before I had to figure that out because I have a pretty fierce wanderlust bug. Sorry.

The wiki says the Swamp biome can exist between 2000 and 6000 meters from center, so if you've found a swamp, you're far enough away that Meadows could have superboar.

[tiny gulch]

the only area I found a swamp is at is between a swamp duh and well...black forest which has TROLLS and idk how to deal with that annoyances :///

rather not come back and see all my boars died

[winged needle]

You can do pretty darn well with no-star boars for a long time. Hollywood boars are more efficient to breed and harvest but don't give anything regular boars don't.

[rain sundial]

is 1 stamina 1 hp food 1 balanced food better or 2 HP 1 stamina

[winged needle]

What's your play style?

[true steeple]

One health one stamina one balanced is what I've been doing in my singleplayer world because I started it for the bog witch and it's been working for me, but if you want to parry stronger attacks in later biomes you'll definitely need more health.

[rain sundial]

i play bear armour right now and im dying a lot to draugr archers esp 1 and 2 star ones x.x

[winged needle]

Yea, they would be pretty rough for you. How's your dodge and parry game?

[rain sundial]

im playing on around 230 ms ping so both are horrid

[winged needle]

Wufff, then I would be inclined to go with lots of health.

[rain sundial]

but i do parry decently well, dodging however close to non existent

[winged needle]

If you can parry, it's gonna be invaluable against those archers.

[rain sundial]

i miss the timing and i get 2 shot, 1 shot if its a 2 star archer

[winged needle]

FWIW, I think the starred enemies are designed to make you pause and strategize.

[rain sundial]

ah..currently im going with deer stew carrot soup and queens jam

[winged needle]

Have you hit the swamp biome yet?

It's a real rough step up in terms of difficulty, but you might be able to hang out around the edges and kill eels to get yourself some improved source of food.

[celest bridge]

is there a way to uncraft stuff? I accidentaly made a helmet instead of upgrading it

[winged needle]

No, but welcome to the club! Best solution is to not experience eternal shame, if you can manage it.

[celest bridge]

yea it does feel pretty annyoing lol

[winged needle]

Give the new helmet to your best friend and pretend you made it as a gift.
Or put it on an armor stand when you get those and talk to it and name it Wilson.

[rain sundial]

im in swamp, like i said ive been getting 1 shot by 2 star draugr archers

and abominations also 2 hit me

thankfully, i use the bog witch area to farm abominations easily

they keep running away though

[winged needle]

Yea, swamp is real tough and those are the real toughest parts of it. Lesser draugr will give you intestines and eels will give you blood bags and both of those will help you make better food.

[rain sundial]

i dont know if i unlocked them, i dont see it in my cauldron
also i know the bear armour makes me squishier but should i be using the bear fists too? im scared and switched to a buckler + mace

havent seen a single crypt yet

[winged needle]

I'm not a fist expert by any means, but I think if you're going to go for a play style, you should all-in
I'm a sword-and-board viking, myself.

[dusk radish]

will my boars die if i dont feed them or just not breed

[winged needle]

Nope they'll live literally forever, probably longer than you.

(certainly longer than me)

[olive vale]

Did this discord ban images?

i dunno, doesn't upload into messages

[karmic summit]

italian player?

[olive vale]

I'm making a dock, how do I make a stairs or something out of the water so that dock doesn't become one giant death trap due to high dock wall

[winged needle]

You can attach the top of the stairs to your floorboards so it goes down into the water. I prefer the shallow stairs but the "ladder" stairs work too

[karmic summit]

you have to raise the walls with the hoe so that the mobs don't come inside

[olive vale]

ya, well i thought of that, just that stairs into water kinda look stupid

too bad i can't post images

[karmic summit]

can't you send a photo so we can understand?

[olive vale]

brb, discord restart

[karmic summit]

ok

you are italian?

[olive vale]

no

nope, doesn't allow to post image

[karmic summit]

ok

it's difficult

can we play together?

[steep tusk]

#1024264966712340510

[frosty frost]

You can upload images only to certain channels 🙂 its for spam prevention this way mostly

[olive vale]

sure, you've made your life easier and mine harder

🙂 fair, i'm new 😄

[frosty frost]

I did? 👀

[olive vale]

someone did

[frosty frost]

Well, anyway, if you look at the name of channels you can figure out quite quickly which ones will allow you to post pics 😄

[olive vale]

also, i've got 5 minutes timeout for trying to post imgbb

[dusk radish]

do boars only spawn in meadows or darkforest too

[abstract eagle]

Hmm, one way is either to put a roof or create an outward roof that's going up that was when skitters try to fly up they move away. Also I think they won't attack if you are not there. Haven't tried if they get impaled on spikes

[tired root]

If it does, then don't try it. Automod blocks them.

[dusk radish]

i cant upload files but i have 2 markers of the elder on my map

is that a bug

[glad current]

There re multiple altars for each boss

[haughty stump]

Any idea how to find Combat Ruins 01 in Meadows nowadays, by using the valheim map world generator?
I can't see it in any of the filters, i've manually looked at almost all meadows locations under "Other Structures".
Pls halp, i've wasted 1h today trying to figure this one out.

[frosty frost]

It would most likely be faster to just look in game 😄

[haughty stump]

Well, you'd imagine i tried that first xD

[olive vale]

how do you proof that damage^2/(4*armor) > damage - armor. If damage/2 > armor

some weird math right there

can't wrap my head around it

[true steeple]

If damage is more than half of armor, damage is multiplied by damage/(armor*4), otherwise subtract armor from damage

[olive vale]

yes, well i know that, i just understand it

there's a difference between knowing and understanding

[true steeple]

where did you get damage^2 from

[olive vale]

YT video

recent, 6 months ago, so still should stand

[frosty frost]

It is on here too https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics
5th line of dmg calculating formulas

[steep tusk]

Oh dear ...

[true steeple]

thanks, I've just never seen the formula written that way

[olive vale]

damage - armor is straight line, but damage^2/armor is parabolical, how does the dev come up with this stuff

😄

[true steeple]

I think they wanted something similar to subtractive defense but they also wanted to reduce the problem of each point of defense being more significant then the last

[livid mortar]

I need parabolas again? I guess my math teachers weren't lying all those years ago.

[true steeple]

in alpha versions it had subtractive defense with a % cap but then that has the problem of more armor points doing nothing past that cap

[abstract eagle]

Listen to Randy ... what really matters is the yaw

[loud rapids]

In terraria it’s linear and you can become invulnerable with enough defense

[steep tusk]

It has the added bonus of making later biomes slightly more forgiving on entrance because you'll usually use the simpler formula until you upgrade to the better armor.

[terse flame]

So I’m new to the game and I beat the big dear but now every time I go in the dark forest I die

[loud rapids]

Why do you die?

[steep tusk]

Adapt to the combat or that will be the entire game experience for you 🤷‍♂️

[terse flame]

I get swarmed by the dwarfs and can’t do any damage

Is there an armour I need or better weapons

[steep tusk]

What is your current weapon?

[terse flame]

I have a club and crude bow

[steep tusk]

Club destroys greydwarves.

Dodge or use your shield to parry.

[loud rapids]

Eat good food, that’s very important, especially stamina so you can do things and run if needed. The Greydwarves come out much more at night time so avoid making a lot of noise or traveling at night if you can’t handle them yet

[terse flame]

They have like boss health when hit with my club

[thorn spire]

hop on top of a big rock if you get swarmed.

[steep tusk]

They have no where close to boss health unless you randomly turned the difficulty to VH.

[terse flame]

Weird do I need armor or smth

[steep tusk]

How would armor make you do more damage?

[terse flame]

Idk I just can’t do anything to save my self

[true steeple]

roll, jump or just walk back out of their attacks

[frosty frost]

It will make them take less dmg 😉 hence increasing the survivalbility

[loud rapids]

Weapon attacks do less damage when hitting multiple targets. This also happens if you hit a tree nearby in your swing or something like that. It can be worth trying to focus down a single Greydwarf at a time to try and stagger it for more damage

[terse flame]

Is there any weapons or armour before copper

[steep tusk]

See previous comment 🤷‍♂️

You're in the easiest combat stage. The game only gets more difficult.

[livid mortar]

I suggest a weapon made of flint (doesn't matter which one) and full deer leather armor if you don't have it already.

[terse flame]

Flint?

Oh there’s leather armour

[loud rapids]

Flint can be found on the waters edge

[livid mortar]

Long, round white stones found near water in meadows.

[steep tusk]

Wood Club or either of the Flint weapons is enough to kill the actual boss of the BF. So the greydwarves by extension die easily to them.

[terse flame]

How would I unlock it. My workbench only has basic items

[thorn spire]

same thing. pick up flint

[abstract eagle]

I suggest go naked as you'll run faster

[loud rapids]

You can’t see recipes that use items you haven’t found yet

[terse flame]

Ok

[abstract eagle]

Cryptocrystalline

[tacit breach]

Aka flint.

[olive vale]

so i tried to deepen the water in the dock, it looks like a minefield now 🙁 "leveling" doesnt work underwater does it?

cleary you cant make leveled ground with pickaxe alone

[upper rivet]

I enabled console for the first time but I see int he help list that "spawn" is not in there and it doesnt work? Was that deprecated? Whats the alternative now?

[tired root]

Type devcommands first to enable using console commands.

[subtle parrot]

Unless you use devcommands to fly underwater, it's gonna be difficult for sure

[marble roost]

It should. May have to "raise ground" too though to get it looking good

[thorn spire]

so you can stand on the side, hold shift and click out in your harbour; it'll level to the spot you're aimed at.

[past wadi]

is it normal to get 3 merchants close together?
like, not too close, but you can probably run all 3 in like 8 minutes

[thorn spire]

no

Mine are spread over three very distant islands.

[crimson lotus]

what's better for my food, eitr, eitr and hp or stam? I'm mainly using staff of embers and protection, and sometimes mistwalker

[tired root]

I would go stamina and then switch to feast after defeating the boss.

You don't need that much HP when you use protection staff, but you'll always need stamina for moving, jumping and dodging around.

[bold bough]

how come when i parry a brute, i still flail around? my shield is too small?

[crimson lotus]

which feast, the mist one?

[undone monolith]

btw, when we enter a sunken crypt, if we want to exit right away we can do it (it is possible to press E again without having to move).
But if we exit and we want to enter right away we can't. we have to walk a step or two in order to be able to press E again and go inside. That has happened to me a few times, and some times there's enemies outside blocking me, so I can't even move to take a few steps so I can go back in. It's very annoying. Can we please have that little detail "fixed"? 🙏 I only ask that when we exit, we would be in the right position to press E again and go back inside right away.

For example, with portals we can go right back in too.

[tiny gulch]

Do I need two one starred boars for them to make 1 starred boar babies or?

[true steeple]

You only need one starred boar

[hallow plaza]

Breed it a few times then kill the no stars and let the rest inbreed for pure one stars

[tiny gulch]

do tamed animals/boars still produce babies if the farm isnt within my render distance, had to go far to get starred boars as told earlier-

also idk why my comment above was funny, literally never touched taming so im gonna be confused obv...

[lapis terrace]

a 0 star and 1 star will have a descent chance to produce 1 star offspring, so just keep on slaughtering those 0 stars once you have offsprung atleast 1 star baby and you have a bunch of 1 stars

[tiny gulch]

Thanks so much!!!

[subtle parrot]

I've had many instances where i have to take a step away from the portal to be able to walk back through it, as for the dungeon entrance i don't think I've ever really had that issue of mobs blocking my way, but you could probably just dodge roll

[marble roost]

Better shield or more block skill would help avoid that yeah.

Biggest factor though is food. If you eat more/better health food you should be good

[upper rivet]

yup that was it, didnt discover this yet. thanks

[undone monolith]

I tried rolling and didn't really work. It was a crypt near a spawn, so there was like one Elite, a normal draugr, some skeletons and blobs outside. They followed me. I thought they left after I entered the crypt, but when I left the crypt they were still there. 💀 And they blocked my way and I couldn't go in again. Basically that...

[subtle parrot]

Ouch, always destroy spawners if you're going to be in an area for any amount of time. But that's an unfortunate situation for sure.

[subtle parrot]

Idk if it's been made before, but you might put it in the #suggestions channel if it hasn't been suggested before

[still saffron]

I've gone with all 3 eitr food, giving you a lot more eitr to save your life with magic. Balance the health and stam with potions and ratatusk for more movement speed to avoid close mobs

[steep tusk]

EEF

[crimson lotus]

what is F

[steep tusk]

Feast.

🤔

[marble roost]

Unlocked by buying stuff from Bog Witch. Gives decent stamina, health, and sometimes even eitr

[waxen field]

Something is off with the Vinebarry farm I made, the plant grew all the way up to 4m but there is not a single vinebarry for the past 10 days #screenshots message

[thorn spire]

Vineberries grow only after 3 hours and 20 minutes real time. The ashvine needs to be full grown first.

[waxen field]

Damn, okey

So there is technically nothing wrong with the way I built it?

[thorn spire]

Also, they may not produce if you have them too close on both sides of the wall.

looks like you have enough space though.

[past wadi]

how mods work over crossplay?

[subtle parrot]

Most mods don't work over crossplay because xbox does not have access to mods

[past wadi]

which ones do?

[subtle parrot]

Ask in #mods-discussion

[marble roost]

Ask in #mods-discussion for more info but I assume most mods that only impact your character (such as giving you armor slots, or giving YOU the ability to plant berry bushes) should work. But not ones impacting the world itself or other players

[rigid wigeon]

Hi, I'm having a problem with the Steam Cloud only in this game. Does anyone know how to fix it?

When I play on another computer, my progress isn't saving and I lose everything. Is this a problem on my end, or is Valheim having problems with the Steam Cloud?

[placid dirge]

Do necks attack wild boars normally?

[tired root]

No, since they belong to same faction.
Tamed boars and necks attack each other tho.

[placid dirge]

Ok then what happened?
I brought boars inside a barn. I walled the barn off with a fence. They still died.

[tired root]

Possibly greydwarf shamans spreading their poison through walls?

And you mean the small fence pieces costing 1 wood? Enemies can see your tamed animals through them.

[drowsy crane]

Were they even tamed?

[placid dirge]

no

[drowsy crane]

There's your problem.

[placid dirge]

what's the problem? They were inside, they had food.

[drowsy crane]

Were they eating it?

[placid dirge]

I dunno? Why?

[drowsy crane]

If they don't begin the taming process they can despawn.

[placid dirge]

They were near my base and dropped loot.
And they were stuck near my old base for like 50 days and haven't.

[drowsy crane]

Well, make sure you bring them well into your base with protective walls, and tame them. That's the best way to keep them from dying/despawning.

[thorn spire]

Did you have a fire inside the barn? Maybe they took smoke or fire damage.

especially if enemies outside caused them to get the 'frightened' condition, they'll start running around like mad, even into campfires, etc.

[placid dirge]

no

[past wadi]

is ancient bark spear good?
it seems weird that it needs iron AND special wood

[drowsy crane]

The wood that is literally everywhere? 😅

[thorn spire]

I mean, yeah it's good if you like spears. It's a step up from the bronze spear.

[thorn spire]

every swamp, anyway.

[drowsy crane]

Yes obviously.

[thorn spire]

The next spear after it also needs ancient bark, so...

[placid dirge]

well I thought Call to Arms fixed spear's broken hitbox, no?

[past wadi]

how would I know that? and how that's relevant to my choice?

[thorn spire]

it's not. Just pointing out that it's not as uncommon as you think. As you go on, weapons and equipment need different materials.

[marble roost]

Not the best swamp weapon imo, though I do quite like spears. I like to have it for starting mountains though

[hollow jackal]

anyone has tips how to find serpents Im in the ocean a couple of nights in a row now and find nothing, also not with storms

[marble roost]

Find as much open ocean as you can, preferably away from coastlines (idea is just for it to be the "Ocean" biome, whereas a lot of watery areas near coast tend to be other biomes.

Then keep sailing long journeys, don't go back and forth over the same small area.

But yeah not much more than that. Just about luck. Sometimes you find a lot, sometimes you don't

[hollow jackal]

How to retrive the meat when onthe open ocean? Afraid i'll drown if i go swimming to it lol

[past wadi]

Question more for going forward I guess

[marble roost]

Turn around to sail back and get it, or jump out as soon as you kill the serpent (when you jump out of the boat, it immediately stops. So it won't sail away from you)

[hallow plaza]

Slow the boat down when the serpent Is less than 25 %.
Boats auto stop after 2s or something g when there's nobody in them, so jump out when you strike the final blow

[hollow jackal]

it worked, ty!

[dapper badger]

when valheim update i need reset my world or new biome add in older seed?

[drowsy crane]

So long as you haven't explored the very north side of your map, it will generate properly when the update releases.

[dapper badger]

ok, ty

[mighty zephyr]

@polar gazelle Hey do you have any plans to fix the issue with your mod breaking the server/client version. We've had a look and it sppears to be public static class VerifyClient

[tired root]

I'd ask that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 👍

[mighty zephyr]

will do, thanks :). Sorry, only joined this server a minute ago 😁

[tired root]

Welcome.

[steep tusk]

When you see the serpent coming to you, jump out of the boat and get back in. This will keep your boat at an absolute dead stop, making it easier to aim, kill, and retrieve your loot.

[timid fractal]

Hello fellow vikings! Sadly, my weekly guild night is off tonight again since latest update. I've been away on work so wanted to check and see if there have been any word on the performance drops and massive lag the anniversary patch/unity upgrade brought. Our world, working great even with large bases until patch, is still unplayable. Fingers crossed for a patch!

[fading tulip]

This might be a bit too much, but weather in valheim is scripted so you can see when next thunderstorm is in your world and program sailing that whole day, and yeah someone said open ocean it’s always better if you can’t see coast

And when you see a serpent spawn just tag it in you map I’ve had them spawn around same area

[subtle parrot]

Are you using mods? From what I've seen others say the update helped with performance.

[timid fractal]

On my group server.. no mods, vanilla. Bit sad because we were literally starting ashlands, but we've had to put things on hold.

[ripe surge]

can someone help me, me and my friend died in the ashlands and we have a portal close we just cant get all our stuff because we cant make a boat to get to where we died at

[marble roost]

I can't help right now, but maybe people in here can: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

Worst case there's also devcommands if it really is too big a burden getting the stuff together to get back to your tombstones

[raw moat]

Lure it close to land then harpoon it and drag it ashore and kill it

[past wadi]

ok, how to use feast thing?
I suspect there will be smoe player trap aka "oh you should have guessed that this is a one-time item"

[zinc crater]

Once you find the bog witch you can buy the a serving tray off of her to place any crafted feasts and any ingredients needed to make the full feasts. Feasts have 10 uses, last 50 minutes each use, and may be a little more work to craft but generally save you materials and time while having a good average of hp and Stamina, like the meadow tier feasts gives 35 hp and Stam

[past wadi]

so single tray can be reused?

[zinc crater]

Serving tray can be reused, think of it like a hammer for food

[past wadi]

then.. .what's the message about removing feasts and no resources returning?

[zinc crater]

That's if you start eating a feast such as it having 9/10 uses left, if you destroy or try and pick it back up, only then will it be destroyed and not return anything

If it has 10/10 uses you can pick it back up

[past wadi]

and where do I craft a "whole roasted medow boar"?

[zinc crater]

Food preparation table

It's an iron tier craft, and you need bog witch spices to unlock the recipes

[past wadi]

I was reading it as "fish preparation table" this whole time!..

[zinc crater]

Believe you do prepare fish there too

[past wadi]

but the message reads" once the feast has been eaten off, it won't return any resources"...
I really don't get wht it is trying to say

[zinc crater]

If you eat from it, and then try to pick it up it'll get destroyed

[past wadi]

so "eaten off" means "tiniest bite"?

[zinc crater]

Yes, if 1 use is used you cannot pick it back up

[tiny gulch]

how can I make my lil boar farm area more efficient? atm I got one single pen with my one starred boars inside em-
idk if theres a way to have more food to be produced etc-

[stoic trench]

They can only produce a certain number of boar in a given area. One option is to find and tame a 2-star boar, which will greatly increase your production! Another option is to build a second (or more) pen. My base has two boar pens, that are decently close to one another.

[lapis terrace]

@waxen field there is a bug that everytime you restart / relog the world makes the timer on them restart

[waxen field]

[final meadow]

When I'm building, sometimes the part I want to connect to is green, other times it's orange. Is this an indicator of needing more support, or something?

[frosty frost]

Esentially, yes, it tells you that this part is not as supported and cant hold that many other parts if you were to connect them to it. 🙂
But you dont have to worry about supporting it more, it will not fall on its own or anything

[final meadow]

Thank you for this information. Is it considering only the part I'm pointing at, or do other surrounding parts add support that isn't accounted for in that color code?

I'm building with 2x2 floor, wall, and roof tiles, and putting beams every two tiles, so that every tile touches a beam. But sometimes the angle means that I'm pointing at a roof tile, but the one I'm placing is touching a beam on the other side. If that makes sense.

[merry crane]

as long as those beams are properly supported themselves, yes

[frosty frost]

The colour just indicates how far the piece is from the "ground" basically, the lower the number of pieces between the piece you are looking at and the "ground" the greener(more stable) it will be and you will be able to connect more pieces from it without making additional ground supports.

[final meadow]

Ah, I've been assuming that beams were the standard of support. I've built something like an A-frame, so it should be ok. I included a roof-spine of beams as well.

Appreciate the assorted advice!

[merry crane]

The ground (or something like it, natural stone pillars for example) all are the basis of support and it is a simple count of how many pieces it takes to get to the "ground"

[frosty frost]

Dont really think of the building-breaking mechanic as gravity, but more of how many pieces are you from the last "ground" (blue) connection 🙂

[merry crane]

The first time I built a big house I was unaware of the actual mechanic behind it. Adding core wood beam supports worked for me to finish, but I never actually could tell why it was working until someone explained it

[final meadow]

I see. I can work with that. Does it count all connections, or just the one I'm pointing at? Like, the one I'm pointing at is further from the ground, but the placed piece will touch something closer?

Or am I over thinking this, and once a piece is in place, it's in place? I've dropped a tree on my first hut, and caused no damage, so 🤷

[frosty frost]

Each piece placed in the world checks the shortest path to the "ground" connection if that helps 🤔
Whether you are pointing at it or not doesn't affect how its supported, it just shows you how stable that particular piece is 🙂

[final meadow]

Got you. Appreciate all the advice.

[frosty frost]

If its a dedicated server issue folks in #dedicated-server might be able to help 🤔

[rain sundial]

it is, i hope so

[simple juniper]

I am having problems with my saves on one save, me and a group of friends used to play on the world quite a bit, we built a base and progressed to like plains till we stopped playing, looking at my character saves I had we stopped around May of 2025, and me and one of the friends I played with wanted to revisit but I had recently deleted my saves to clear space. I moved the file for the world back so I could play it but the most recent save was from April, and when I loaded in like all of the progress we had made was gone, it was all reverted into like black fores / swamp. We had built out a lot from what we had, new houses, new areas of the base and it's a shame that it's all gone. I am not sure if there is anything at all to help but hopefully there is.

[rain temple]

Heyo, I have a question. I started a server like a week ago, and I'm seeing tons of bears in my black forest when it's supposed to be 1 bear per Black Forest, and less trolls than usual. Is it a bug, or I did not read the patch when the amount of bears and trolls were modified? 🤔

[merry crane]

I think it is meaning 1 bear PER SPAWN, not per forest

[steep tusk]

when it's supposed to be 1 bear per Black Forest
When was this ever said EVER in the history of EVERNESS?

[marble pagoda]

sounds like you've found the bear minimum

[rain temple]

Oh got it

[simple juniper]

I could need some help pretty soon because it's a little infuriating seeing my like entire progress wiped off.

[true steeple]

Troll spawns weren't changed

[rain temple]

My seed is cursed then, noted 😂

[marble roost]

29 minutes ago

[tired root]

There is still chance for one time troll spawns near and inside troll caves, bears have no such POI. 👍

[simple juniper]

I am begging someone please

[manic mango]

If you deleted the files, maybe some undelete software could restore those? If they have not been overwritten yet

But I dont think there is much to do if you deleted the files, unfortunately. If there are no backups and if the undelete doesnt work.

[vivid fossil]

Yeah you might be able to see if steam has a cloud backup of your old world, maybe? Thats the only thing I could think of

[manic mango]

Some backup or undelete software. But if it has been that long and youve used your computer, they most likely have been overwritten already

[simple juniper]

I mean I switched to a new PC recently but I was pretty strict on backing up my files to a cloud

[simple juniper]

I only deleted the saves and I had backed up saves for the world still there just not as recent as when we last played.

[merry crane]

Or if someone you were playing with still has the save?

[manic mango]

Yeah... but unfortunately there is nothing you can do if no backups exist.

[simple juniper]

Maybe but I am unsure how stuff like that works

[simple juniper]

I found one dating back to the first of April, its the soonest one which seems to actually add up

[hollow jackal]

what is the best trinket up until mountains?

[pliant merlin]

That all depends on your skills tbh

[subtle parrot]

In my last playthrough i used iron brooch until mistlands, and the bear pendant before that

[simple juniper]

I found steam remote storage but I have no clue how it works

[subtle parrot]

Have you checked in the manage saves menu in game? Did you fully remove the deleted saves of that world you deleted from there? Not sure if it would effect you bringing the backup files over, just thinking it might be overwriting the backups with the same world name. (Not a pc user just trying to give an idea)

[simple juniper]

I only deleted the world off of the like starting screen, I didn't touch the managed saves and backups and that's why it's odd to me, my character I played with has backups all the way towards late May but the world save is only up till around 1st of April, even on steams remote storage.

[tired root]

Bronze pendant/Nimble anklet for stamina, Iron brooch for more tankiness.

[subtle parrot]

I see, that's definitely above my intelligence level

[terse field]

im next to the fire guys spawner in the swamp, i heard if u dig under it to where its water level, u get free coal.

how long does it take? i did the instructions and i dont see any spawning

[tacit breach]

The hoe can often do it the fastest.

A respawn is something like every 15 minutes

[past wadi]

how hard should it be to get bonemass without the building cheese?

[tacit breach]

Depends
I can beat him in about 2 minutes, in melee.

But that is with lvl 4 iron mace, 40 ish skill, etc...

[warm olive]

Twin what is ur profile pic 😭 are you doxxing yourself

[tacit breach]

My house.

[warm olive]

Ok

[waxen field]

I wish you could actually make builds in this game and not be "forced" to wear the more durable gear. Like it would be cool if you could upgrade armor and weapons up to the current best gear to reach the same level

[marble roost]

Interesting, I'm actually surprised at how well weapons and armor hold up in later biomes

Of course not all, but for me I'd say some the best gear to start Ashlands with (if you're not magic abusing) includes swamp and mountains gear

[waxen field]

I loved the fenris armor set but I'm mostly one shot in the Ashlands if I wear it

[marble roost]

Yeah I wouldn't personally wear full fenris in Ashlands (or any, but I also play on Hard where I feel too squishy with it)

[waxen field]

Or the bear armor that makes you squishy but boosts your damage

But it's like, 30 or 40 armor 💔

Maybe even less

[marble roost]

16 armor each iirc? so 48 total

Decent but yeah you really gotta make use of being a fast nimble assasin dodging/parrying/outrunning attacks rather than just tanking them

[last osprey]

Or go SSE and use the bubble staff

with that and the speed bonus from fenris ashlands is pretty managable

[past wadi]

asked about "should"

do I need to stack bones? I have chest full of them

[marble roost]

Not too hard if you're using a mace and decent food + poison resist

[past wadi]

root mask isn't that great for that?

[last osprey]

mead gives 75% resistance, root mask only gives 50%

it's not strictly necessary but if it's your first run there's no need to be stingy. Poison resist mead is cheap.

[marble roost]

Mask is fine, just some source of poison resist (mead or mask)

But mead is technically a bit better

Meads are kinda overtuned (imo) yeah

Cheap, don't require an armor slot, and the poison one is even better than the armor equivalent

[tacit breach]

I value armor value much more, anyway. So use meads whenever possible.

[marble roost]

I value elemental resist quite a bit. But yeah it's not much of a choice when you can get both armor AND resist

I play with elemental meads banned to add some choice back to picking armor

[last osprey]

it's not like there's all that much fire or frost damage anyway. And after mountains you have constant frost resist from your cape too.

[undone monolith]

Speaking about builds, would it still be good to eat eitr foods but then wear an armour that isn't a mage set? Like, I feel like the mage build is at it's best with the mage armour, as it should, but I wish we could be a little flexible with the armour. But I don't really see benefits in wearing other armours or parts of them. So, the mage build is a very "fixed" build.

[tacit breach]

Heh, my wife and I keep those meads in production nearly non stop at certain stages of the game.

[marble roost]

Yet the fire that does exist can be deadly. One swipe from a torch fuling, shaman, or gjall can easily oneshot me if I'm running around in harnesk

[last osprey]

you can run bubble staff and 1 eitr food with Fenris, Ask or Vile armor quite well. Even summon some skeletons if you have a couple BM levels.
If you want to use elemental magic you're going to want the extra eitr regen from the mage set though

[marble roost]

personally I feel like the mage armor sucks. Maybe that's just me, but back when I ran mage I'd rather have fenris or something

[undone monolith]

I see... makes sense. So, basically it could work if we only use blood magic.

[last osprey]

i've never had too much trouble dodging those. Though i usually run the bubble staff as an extra safety net, i'd probably feel different without that

[marble roost]

Though the most fun is using some up close armor for doing a melee magic hybrid

[tacit breach]

The later feasts can help with eitr as well.

[undone monolith]

Even when using elemental magic?

[marble roost]

Yeah not the hardest attacks to dodge, I don't usually run into trouble either (despite not using shield staff)

Have had it catch me once or twice though, and on permadeath runs that's rough

[marble roost]

yea. Just doesn't feel like a big regen increase to me

Granted I don't think I tried out the Ashlands version much

[undone monolith]

I see🤔

[marble roost]

50% regen increase does sound nice, but idk I just didn't feel it

Especially when you can use potions or later on trinkets for eitr too

[last osprey]

When you're fighting in the ashlands and spamming fireballs & shields and refreshing your bubble the extra regen makes a huge difference

[undone monolith]

I mean, if we wear fenris set until the end of the game, for example, then the Ashlands are going to be very cheap 😂 Usually part of the grind in each biome is getting the materials, but if we don't have to craft the Ashlands armours, then it would be much faster

[undone monolith]

I always spam my bubble. u.u haha some enemies usually just one hit it.

[last osprey]

the only ashlands armor that's really a grind is flametal. The others are pretty easy to craft.

[last osprey]

it gets better with higher BM skill, but ideally the bubble should just be insurance when you fail to dodge something

[marble roost]

Yeah you can get through the whole game pretty quickly and cheaply and safely if you just use ranged stuff honestly

Can cheese just about everything with a bow or a magic staff, foregoing the need for armor, shields, and melee weapons

[last osprey]

you can probably farm an iron mace and set of root armor in the time it would take to kill bonemass with arrows Is it still cheese if it takes longer than doing it the normal way?

[marble roost]

Definitely still cheese yeah

imo cheese isn't about speedrunning

it's more about beating everything with no skill required / no risk of failing

[last osprey]

if you're exploiting the pathfinding so he can't reach you, sure.
But just keeping your distance and using a bow isn't really cheese, just you being a scaredy cat and making things more difficult for yourself than they need to be.

[marble roost]

yea

Thing is just bows allow you to cheese things quite easily if you want to

But you don't have to, just have the choice

[last osprey]

bow does make most things outside of bosses pretty trivial, true

[glacial spindle]

Are the bubbles in the tar pit the spawning spots of the tar mob?

[marble roost]

Each pit spawns 2 mobs every once in a while. Think they spawn kinda like halfway between the outer edge and middle of the pit, on opposite sides of each other?

That's mostly from memory don't quote me

bubbles don't indicate anything pretty sure

[glacial spindle]

Ok cool, thank you 🙂

[fluid notch]

Can you shut down the tar pit spawns?

[final meadow]

Do things like stones and flint and logs respawn, or do I have to keep ranging to find more?

[clever juniper]

stones and flint yes, logs no. Materials will generally become easier to obtain as you progress and you collect them in different ways

[clever juniper]

you can put a spawn preventing structure next to one like a workbench or a ward to prevent new ones from spawning. Other creatures may destroy those structures still, so you may need to be creative

[fluid notch]

Full logs don't, but the sticks do

[fluid notch]

Yeah cheers

[somber nacelle]

is bear armor still viable when im at iron?

[ornate brook]

yes

[terse field]

is valheim having issues? my game keeps lagging

was playing co-op w/ friends and all of us lagged and our game shut down 3 times now

[tacit breach]

I have far more lag on servers than I do playing solo.

[abstract eagle]

It's freezing in anticipation of the Deep North 🥶

[cloud mulch]

got about 20 hrs or so in valheim, anyone wanna help a newbie out

[hollow jackal]

I have full lv4 wolf armour so i guess im tanky enough for mountains/plains?

Which is than better the nimble anklet or bronze pendant?
Just sold all my necklaces to hildir lol

[tacit breach]

#1024264966712340510 is the channel for finding groups.

[tired root]

You need 3 rubies for pendant.
But better depends if you like instant stamina gain or increased stamina regen, pendant is basically free lingering stamina mead buff for 1 minute duration.
Nimble anklet also grants extra movement speed but for 30 seconds.

[peak hazel]

Is this game meant to be played with someone? It's brutal. 3rd week now after killed Elder, first swamp I found, I carefully built a forward base next to it with all the fixins, only to discover it's just a thin strip of swamp with no turnips or crypts, next to Plains, found another Swamp, looked promising, built an elaborate elevated base, same comfort as home base, only to find out it's next to the Plains also with those green freaks and deathsquitos 🤦‍♂️

[tired root]

It's balanced around solo but has co-op as option.

[hollow jackal]

Lol

First explore before building a base brother

[hallow plaza]

The humble portal

[marble roost]

Maybe scout around a little before deciding to build a house? Sailing around and exploring is pretty chill and mostly safe

RNG can definitely be rough in a procedurally generated game, so just look for a good swamp to start (preferably a big one with crypts)

[glacial spindle]

Question? When you guys gather blackmetal in the plains, whats your target amount of metals you need/want to gather before moving on to yagluth and eventually to the mistlands?

[subtle parrot]

At least an iron chest full of stacks

[tired root]

Axe is needed for cutting wood, same for pickaxe for mining there. You also need wood from Mistlands for the pickaxe.

Also several structures will require black metal.

[glacial spindle]

Yep

[marble pagoda]

pickaxe is worth maxing for sure
my main use of blackmetal is the chests

[subtle parrot]

I'll use bm chests for decoration, but if I'm building storage i use iron chests

[fading escarp]

I need help with taming. What do wolves and askvin eat? Do I dig a hole for them like lox or?

[tired root]

Wolves eat raw deer/boar/neck/lox/chicken meat and sausages.
Asksvin eat crops found in Ashlands, which are vineberries, smoke puffs and fiddleheads.

Pit is good method, which can be surrounded with wall and roof too for securing them after they're tamed.

[bold bough]

what is better early game? spear or bronze sword?

[merry crane]

for what?

[steep tusk]

Whichever you, personally, prefer using.

[waxen field]

Are there any tricks to use mounting more efficient instead of just being used a transportation?

[bold bough]

what about for killing bears? bears own me. I cant even block them

[steep tusk]

Food is the most important stat in the game.

[bold bough]

my friends and i are absolutely loving this game but man, gearing everyone up with full bronze is taking forever. is this normal?

[subtle parrot]

Early axes level 2 boar meat deer meat and honey with leather tunic and pants is enough to parry a bears swipe attacks

[quasi vault]

bronze armor is generally a mistake, light armor for the forest are just better, there's isn't enough of a difference in armor to justify it with the movement penalty

[bold bough]

Thank you!

[bold bough]

thanks for the huge tip

[steep tusk]

Go kill Elder and then use his power to making gathering bronze about twice as fast.

Also Bronze Armor is in no way a mistake.

[merry crane]

Also a good call

[quasi vault]

@steep tusk I though about it and it makes 0 sense to say that the abyssal razor is a swamp weapon

[steep tusk]

🤔

[quasi vault]

When you said we probably need at least mountain weapon to kill fader and then I killed it with the razor to show that we could it with a forest weapon. You said it was a swamp weapon, I think you reasoning was that the forest already had a knife.

[steep tusk]

I think I was going off the damage progression of the item.

[subtle parrot]

Razor is iron tier damage

[quasi vault]

But it doesn't matter, getting chitin is only locked behind getting a pickaxe so killing eikthir normally, you don't need to enter the swamp or any materials from the swamp so it is a forest weapon

[subtle parrot]

I mean in reality they're an ocean weapon

[drowsy crane]

Still, saying it makes 0 sense is a bit hyperbolic.

[quasi vault]

Seems like I made my point in a very straight line to me

[subtle parrot]

If you brave the ocean in a raft it's a meadows weapon by your logic

[quasi vault]

You need finewood and a pickaxe, which normally is locked behind the meadows boss ...

[subtle parrot]

You don't need anything from the forest though

[manic mango]

Finewood you can get a little bit from a shipwreck if you smash it to pieces

[subtle parrot]

You can chop beech trees and bonk birch trees until they fall down as well

[manic mango]

Shipwrecks are in the Black Forest biome usually.

[subtle parrot]

Also early axes

[quasi vault]

You realise you are just helping me prove my point that it isn't a swamp weapon by pointing out that you don't even need to even progress into the forest since the early axes

[subtle parrot]

It doesn't change the level of the weapons damage though

[manic mango]

Oh you got some discussion going on? I wasnt trying to help anyone prove anything. I just got home from a grocery store and saw a few messages here and decided to answer.

[subtle parrot]

I was just pointing out it's possible to get it in meadows

[quasi vault]

Irrelevant and for the point that you don't need to enter another biome I'd still say if you need to defeat the boss from the previous biome to get the ressource, it belongs in the next biome. Like the drakkar, since you need to defeat the queen, I'd argue it is an ashland tier ship

[subtle parrot]

Eh that's a fair point

[bold bough]

Is there a written guide to taming and breeding boars and deer?

[subtle parrot]

Can't tame deers

[quasi vault]

You can't tame deer, to tame boar I recommend building a pen first (in an area probably somewhat close to your base because you need to stay there for 30 minutes for them to tame). Then you get 2 boars (since you need 2 to breed) to attack you, run to the pen, lock them in, drop 10 berries mushrooms or vegetable in the pen, let them calm down and just wait while they are rendered in.

[subtle parrot]

If you can find a 2 star boar they do drop more materials and meat when killed and you can breed a 2 star with a 1 or no star boar and get another 2 star and kill the rest to breed 2 stars

[manic mango]

Can you just lure them in with the berries, without them having to attack you?

[quasi vault]

You could but it's convenient that they attack you since you can lead them directly to where you want to breed them since they will chase you to the end of the world

[scenic jacinth]

how do you read asksvin

[subtle parrot]

Read?

[scenic jacinth]

pronounce

[subtle parrot]

Ask-svin

[scenic jacinth]

its a weird name

they should've named it kratos imo

[subtle parrot]

Lol

[tired root]

If you feel the grind for multiple people overwhelming, consider changing the item drop multiplier from world modifiers. 1,5x is what I find reasonable for playing with 2 other people at least.

[clear parcel]

I’m writing this because I’ve officially hit the 500-hour mark in Valheim, and while I love the core gameplay, I can no longer stay silent about the state of development. It has been years since the initial release, and the fact that we are still nowhere near a 1.0 version is, quite frankly, a disgrace.

When we bought into Early Access, we did so to support an indie vision, but that support shouldn't be taken for granted. The development pace is incredibly sluggish compared to the massive financial success and resources the studio now possesses. We keep getting small incremental updates and 'teasers,' but the roadmap feels like a suggestion rather than a commitment.

Spending 500 hours in a world that feels permanently unfinished is frustrating. At this point, the 'Early Access' tag feels less like a development phase and more like a shield against criticism for the lack of a finished product. We don't want more concept art or minor tweaks; we want a completed journey.

The community deserves transparency and a definitive timeline toward 1.0. It’s time to stop coasting on the initial hype and actually finish the game we all invested our time and money into.

[undone kindle]

can someone help me? since the update is my server dead - no loading no connection
I tried to load the old Valheim branch but that didn´t work. it is my first server, i use Gportal

[tired root]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might have answer for that.

[vivid fossil]

Being totally transparent, i'd argue a majority of us disagree. Yes the game has been in early access for a long time, but the next biome to be finished is deep north. I would rather have updates to polish the game before 1.0 than leave bugs alone and have them done after. Right now the game is in the best state it's been in, and the devs always try to see to it that each update keeps it in the best shape it can be in.

The company is still small compared to most studios to my knowledge, and the fact they actively engage with their community here frequently is something to be admired versus most. We have no micro transactions, no finished products for sale later under the disguise of 'DLC', no fear of the game being sold to a bigger company more seeking monetization over love. Valheim was made with love, you yourself have 500 hours in it and I have right over 1,100.

We all want the game to be complete, but I think we deserve a fully flushed out and finished game; and Iron Gate is working to give us just that.

[final meadow]

I'm seeing advanced enemies without defeating any boss. Might I have just moved too far?

[vivid fossil]

Which enemies? Different biomes spawn different enemy types. Might have gone too far

[final meadow]

I'm in a place that I'm pretty sure is meadows, at the edge of a body of water, and forest just to one side. I'm seeing Greydwarf spawning at night. Came as a surprise when they hit so hard, let me tell you.

[vivid fossil]

Greydwarfs will spawn at night in meadows, it's recommended you sleep through the nights if you don't wanna deal with them

[clear parcel]

How big of an update do you think the game needs to reach version 1.0? Is it really that impossible? Was it that important to be here after five years? I already love the game so much, and it's already amazing. Do you think there's really that much work left to do before version 1.0 comes out?

[final meadow]

I don't mind them, now I know to take them seriously. Wiki suggested that they only spawn after I kill a boss, though.

Thanks for the help!

[marble roost]

Personally I don't get the focus on "1.0". Imo the bigger the update the better, more content for me to play through

Would it make you happier if they had launched into 1.0 with the mistlands update, and then just tacked on Ashlands and Deep North DLC?

[vivid fossil]

I think they spawn at night mostly and around the Black Forest. I could be wrong about though

[tired root]

Some enemies start spawning in earlier biomes during night after certain bosses are defeated. Eikthyr unlocks greydwarf spawns in meadows during night for example.

[clear parcel]

1.0 is important to me because it's deep north. I think it's enough that there are no empty biomes in the game. The developers aren't saying that much bigger things will be done in their updates.

No, all biomes shown in early access should be in 1.0. If they want to add another biome later, they can add a DLC. I'd be happy with that.

After all, Ashlands, Deep North, and Mistlands already existed and were empty, right? That's why these biomes should be finished for 1.0.

[tired root]

Developers have shared the Deep North will be the last biome and no plans for adding new biomes. Game will also have proper ending after Deep North is added.

[clear parcel]

Do you think all focus should be on the Deep North after Ashlands? Or should there be minor additions to the game?

[tired root]

Also, being 1.0 update I would assume developers want to make sure the update will have as minimal issues as possible, given they're adding achievements and possibly some changes for earlier biomes is hinted too.

[marble roost]

Either or is fine

If they want to fully focus DN that's cool, if they want to do smaller additions that's cool too.

So far I think they've only done pretty small additions that I don't think detract much from DN development

Other than bugfixing/balancing maybe, which I think is a must

[vivid fossil]

Tbh overall the general opinion is we'd rather them take their time and give us a fantastic update vs rush to release and potentially goof something up. Let the game continue to be a labor of love and give us the best possible product

[tired root]

After Ashlands we got Bog Witch and Call to Arms updates, which both were significant additions to the game.

[clear parcel]

I think you're looking at it from a very positive perspective. I hope it turns out the way you say, but the five-year process doesn't make me feel that positive.

[clear parcel]

Even if 1.0 doesn't come out in 10 years, the same argument holds true for these thinkers. And it works like a vicious cycle.

[tired root]

I'm positive for the upcoming update. But there is nothing wrong to have some break and focus on other games, even Smiffe (the CM of Iron Gate) is encouraging it.

[marble roost]

I guess I'd agree to that.

If they gave us other content (new biomes, mobs, armor, etc.) that fit into the world and put off Deep North / 1.0 to 10 years later that would be fine for me

[glad current]

Has it already been 5 years? Man time flies!

[clear parcel]

You yourself are saying that a new biome won't be coming? Why are you dreaming about an idea that doesn't exist?

[glad current]

I think we have a reading comprehension problem.

[tired root]

I think Snail is satisfied for what we currently have and thinks the last biome just as a bonus for that.

[marble roost]

From my understanding it's not their plan to add other biomes than DN no

But just talking in hypotheticals, if they put Deep North off to add other stuff that would be fine to me

I don't think other biomes will be added, but I also don't think it'll take 10 more years to add Deep North. It twas a hypothetical scenario

[clear parcel]

As far as I can tell, you're satisfied.

Patch 0.221.10 – Five Years of Valheim! LOL

I think even this title is a problem.

[peak hazel]

I scouted half the map, I guess I'm too careful to get too close to shore. I've learned to give the Plains a wide berth, and finally thought I found the perfect spot, will screenshot the minimap, basically: Meadows with a tiny Black Forest edge, then a Black Forest Island to which I built a bridge, then from there, what looked like a nice big Swamp. But, didn't notice it has Plains right next to it.

[marble pagoda]

they should add a letter for each biome

Valhe - original early access
Valhei - mistlands
Valheim - ashlands
Valheim! - 1.0

[marble roost]

If the swamp is big and has crypts it should be okay. Nearby plains is common, just try not to go toooooo close to the plains side. Or if you do, bring any baddies that chase you over to swamp mobs and they'll start fighting it out wiht each other

[umbral kestrel]

Would someone be able to help me later today; i'm not Computer savvy enough to figure out how to take my seed/saved file from Gportal and make it my own after my buddies and i are done playing. I've read the forums but somethings not clicking for me. Any chance someone could walk me through it when i get home?

[peak hazel]

Ha, thanks, I see those damn skeetas buzzing around and the green little bastards, too close to comfort, I'll take a minimap screenshot for you next time. I also thought I finally found a crypt, but it's that silly are with green torches and a history lesson stone, alas no crypt.

[marble roost]

If you manage to take down an abomination, the chest armor piece you make from their drops is really good for dealing with skeetas, even if you're otherwise still in black forest gear

[tired root]

Maybe someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might have answer for that?

[umbral kestrel]

gotcha, i will check. TYVM

[barren canopy]

FAST WHAT DO I USE TO KILL BONEMASS

[marble roost]

iron mace, poison resist, swamp food

[barren canopy]

MACE?!?!?! will sword do anything?

[tall copper]

A sword wont do much. A mace is your best option

You want weapons that deal Blunt damage right now.

[true steeple]

1.5x blunt damage, 0.5x slash damage, 0.25x pierce damage

[marble roost]

It'll do something yeah, you can kill him with it. Mace would be a lot easier though

[barren canopy]

can he heal himself?

[tall copper]

If he isn’t attacked for awhile yes, he will regenerate health

[true steeple]

creatures constantly regenerate health

[marble roost]

Not a quick heal no

But ALL mobs in the game do passively regenerate health. Something like they regenerate their whole healthbar in an hour

[true steeple]

for most it's an hour. Bears and viles regenerate in 50 minutes and twigs are very fast

[subtle comet]

Any1 here had issues with their mouse scroll not working after the big unity update?
Everything works as normal, apart from the mouse scroll - so I can't rotate build pieces, can't zoom etc.

I have a logitech g502x. I have updated the drivers. I have verified game files. I have tried another mouse. I have reset the controls. I have disabled overlays from nvidia / wizMouse / similar. nothing - scrolling is a no go, still.

Anyone got some insight? 😢

[subtle parrot]

#valheim-help message
Have you tried this? Might read through their convo, see if anything helps. Unfortunately I know nothing about mouses. I do find it ironic that you're having mouse issues and your discord name is dedmau5.

[subtle comet]

thanks, I sent some DMs to the ones involved, might get lucky. 🙂

gitta love some irony... 😄

[autumn garnet]

is there a way to permanently get rid of dandelion spawns so they dont clip through my floor?

[tall copper]

If you level the land they should disappear.

[subtle parrot]

I think the devcommand forcedelete pickable_dandelion 10
10 being the meters in radius to you for removal

[subtle parrot]

They go up and down with the leveled ground

[tall copper]

I’ll have to test it out, I generally build a meter up when building to avoid that problem with plants and other objects. Appearing through my floor.

[subtle parrot]

That's fair

[autumn garnet]

normally i do too, but im doing stone and its just barely peeking. i dug a small divot underneath it so hopefully that resolves it

also gonna try that devcommand out because it seems like you cant go 10 meters in meadows without dandelions going lol

[subtle parrot]

They can be a lot sometimes lol

[tacit breach]

I like easy to harvest mats. So don't mind the wood or flowers manifesting through my floor.

[barren canopy]

how do i get an item that fell into deep water?

[glad current]

Build above it to a decent height and jump off

[tacit breach]

If you can still see it, you may make ladders high enough to get you to sink low enough.

[glad current]

If it’s deep-deep, like open ocean though, it’s probably gone

[barren canopy]

THANKS GUYS

[tacit breach]

Try to focus your cursor on it and click. You can reach a little further than you can sink.

Some times that reach made the difference for me.

[barren canopy]

i managed to get it by jumping from hight place thanks guys

[waxen field]

Isn't the next update supposed to kick off the "Early Access" title?

[echo sparrow]

WEELLLLL it depends upon whether you count the stuff that's added occasionally without adding a full biome

the next update that adds the next and last biome--Deep North--should be the 'official release' and end of early access, but what may or may not come be added before that, unclear

and it's also as yet unclear, speculation abounds, whether the announced releases on other platforms (e.g. Playstation) will come at the same time as the DN update release or as separate 'updates'

[grand latch]

what are the best mage weapons to enter ashlands with

[echo sparrow]

you don't have much diversity so honestly, all of them, at the point you go in

[grand latch]

alr thanks

[barren canopy]

is its possible to build a basement?

[echo sparrow]

yes but you can't have already dug down too deep from the 'natural' starting height of the terrain (there's a limit how much you can change starting terrain elevation up or down) and if you're too near the coast, you may hit water before you get as deep as you want your basement to go

but with that being said, you can always lay out a floor plan, even build a whole structure, then dig 'under' the first fllor

provided you don't dig past the outer walls (which would undermine their support, and also make your 'basement' visible and uncovered from outside) the first floor serves as the basement's 'roof'

[bold bough]

Thank you. I will do so now!

[bold bough]

Oh that's huge. That also makes sense.

[past wadi]

how much must I farm draugr elites at their spawn?
I have a few stacks of entrails, but elite trophy escapes me

[clever juniper]

they have a 10% trophy drop rate, so more than 10 without one is just unlucky

[frosty sequoia]

hey there, anyone experiencing issues with Valheim crashing since the newest patch? im not running it through vulkan

[past wadi]

"rested" effect was running out, so I defeated last elite and decided to break the mud. only to find 2 trophies

[barren canopy]

what traders are worth visiting

[tired root]

All of them have something useful.

It requires to return the brass chest to Hildir to get the good stuff from her tho.

[vital tapir]

why are the plains constantly right next to the black forest? I get RNG and all, but sheesh haven't even beaten the elder yet and have stupid deathsquitos attacking across the border

[tacit breach]

Usually his altar is far enough away to not aggro anything from another biome. Yet there have been altars practically on the plains. All I can suggest is find one of his other altars.

[barren canopy]

how rare are turnip seeds?

[marble roost]

All luck

On my current world my first two elites dropped a trophy each

Not that I used the trophies for anything

[manic mango]

If i recall they are needed for some crafting?

[marble roost]

Used for big hammer yea

[tired root]

Elite trophy is needed for iron sledge.

[marble roost]

me no likey big hammer

[tacit breach]

They're rarer than carrots because swamps have a lot less land above water.

[past wadi]

it breaks the game given that it's aoe works through walls

I hope it will be easier against hordes of bones and slime against bonemass

[past wadi]

look really closely cause I was going mad till i found them but then I spotted some behind the tree near my first entry to the swamp

[marble roost]

One of the reasons why I don't like it

[past wadi]

hint: they have small yellow flowers

[past wadi]

altgeir does the same thing but uses way more stamina it feels

which reminds me... wiki says there's no silver altgeir, so I guess I should make iron one

[tacit breach]

Yep. Next one is BM.

[marble roost]

One of the reasons why I don't use atgeirs

[tacit breach]

I think there is one for every biome from plains onward.

[tired root]

Except no Ashlands tier atgeir.

[marble roost]

It skips meadows, mountains, ashlands, and ocean

Luckily three of those biomes have a spear instead, so you can get a pointy stick either way 😄

[past wadi]

blackmail? bonemass? bonfire magick? bad mist?

[past wadi]

spear has such a short reach it feels like crap

I would rather have no shield then be unable to hit anything

[marble roost]

Atgeir blocks/parries just fine honestly, at least on normal

[past wadi]

it does

[marble roost]

Spear feels very good to me, though a lot of people hate it

It has a lot of cool perks

[past wadi]

it doesn't even hit leeches...

[marble roost]

Gotta use secondary attack. It's better than any other melee weapon on slopes

[tacit breach]

Black metal.

[past wadi]

sounds like music genre

[marble roost]

I like spears because they level super quickly (fast attack speed + more xp per hit than other melee weapons), they have a good amount of damage in each hit allowing you to easily 1-hit stagger smaller enemies, and don't rely on being locked in to a long 3 combo or slow animations to get damage off

Plus turning them into a ranged option is pretty nice

one big downside is that they're pierce

[past wadi]

just change grip and make them reach at least as far as sword
