I know it's a hot take but personally I prefer hitbox of spear over something like sword or mace

I mean sword gets away with it because it doesn't get a penalty for hitting multiple targets, but with other weapons it's really annoying in dungeons splitting damage with walls, or not being able to stagger a single target because you end up hitting 3 of them

Queue the battleaxe enthusiast

[barren rivet]

crypts is why bear paws are best, spear hitbox but slash dmg. or what i do is a lot of parry then axe secondary. lol. u see me typing. im axtually not saying anything about battleaxe! XD

[marble roost]

Fist weapons being more readily available has drawn me away from spears, I admit with sadness yet excitement in my voice

[barren rivet]

hehe, well i still need spears because im a neverbow

[marble roost]

I also really like the battleaxes but I find fist weapons serve me better most the time when out and about. Though if I have a raid (which I do every few min on max raid rate) pulling out the BA is so fun

[marble roost]

same

[barren rivet]

and i still just didnt like fists, i gave them a good try, i think its the recovery from secondary it’s so long you barely get a hit in

[zinc crater]

No crossbow either?

[marble roost]

Ranged can get quite boring / easy to me, so I've sworn off bows and some of the magic, but I'll still use crossbow and magic sparingly

[barren rivet]

i actually do make a xbow, but mostly keep it in my boat for sneks

sometimes i have it for example in ashlands to poke a valk far away just to aggro it to me

[tacit breach]

Thats the best use for them

[barren rivet]

icould use a harpoon instead i guess, it depends

harpoon is +1 inventory slot to xbow XD

[marble roost]

With xbow I like to bring a small amount of ammunition, so I can dump it if I need another slot. It doesn't use much anyways

A bit harder for *cough cough certain no portal fanatics

[barren rivet]

do you prefer spear hitbox because wonky sword cleaving when a mob gets too close? or more like surgical strikes taking out the bad targets first or what?

[marble roost]

sword hitbox is fine for sword because it doesn't get penalized from cleaving multiple

But putting that on spear would just make my spear do half damage if I'm in a dungeon or something

[barren rivet]

i appreciate your foresight not bringing a stack of 100 arrows lol. thats a good idea. id bring 1 per valk i plan on seeing. sometimes if i see 3 asksvins together i feel ok softening one up too

[barren rivet]

but if you like its hitbox for dungeons why not just sword cuz it doesnt mind hitting walls?

[marble roost]

Because sword doesn't level as fast, attack as fast, stack up stagger on a target as fast (due to the attack speed), etc.

[barren rivet]

hm fair. yaknow what i want to do soon, is like have at least 4 good spears in my hotbar, and actively try to throw them as much as possible. im really excited about it actually, gonna do it as soon as i die in current run

[marble roost]

Sounds fun

[short flame]

anyone know why every time i raise ground its going diagonal?

[thorn spire]

raise ground happens in cardinal directions.

makes like a square

[short flame]

ty

[summer orchid]

everytime i try to play valheim with draw distance on max i crash and lose progress, 5070ti OC

i9 14900k

when i put draw distance on high instead it doesnt crash

and limit fps to 60... i want to play at 200fps max setting but it wont let me without causing crashes

[summer orchid]

ITS SO FRUSTRATING WHEN I DO SOMETHING OR DIE AND THEN I CRASH SIMULTANEOUSLY THEN IT MAKES MY RECOVERY STONE DISAPPEAR AND I HAVE TO RESTORE MY CHARACTER THROUGH THE MENU

[past wadi]

Ok I am sorry but wtf is Wraith attacking me on the ship?
why my weapons only dmg my ship and not the wraith? why no parrying works at all?

[marble roost]

Hard not to hit your ship while fighting on it. Might be clunky against a wraith too, but should be doable if you stop your boat

[bold bough]

quick question. do big monsters like trolls and bears respawn?

if so, when do they respawn? im trying to farm bears

[static quartz]

They do respawn... not exactly in the same place but in the general vicinity... I don't know the exact frequency but if I go back a few real days later, they are usually there again.

[bold bough]

how does one make a blueberry or raspberry farm? hoe a field and then throw the blueberries on it?

[full mesa]

In vanilla you cant replant foragable bushes

[pliant merlin]

No… they have to be picked where you find them. The alternative is mods, such as PlantEverything by Advize.

[bold bough]

Thank you!

[pliant merlin]

I really love that mod, not cause of the berries, but all else that comes with it. First time I used it I nearly cried, no shit.

@tribal crescent ❤️

[bold bough]

is cauldron important? im at the bronze age

[pliant merlin]

Essential

Everything in that menu (crafting), is somewhat important. Same goes with furniture for higher comfort that gives longer rested-bonus.

Check the internet for comfort-buff and what piece you need that will provide how many points.

[bold bough]

I recently caught two boars and I fed them 10 berries. I think they will breed soon. but how often do I need to feed them so they keep breeding and how much do I feed them?

[summer orchid]

like 20 berries

will make 15 boars, the more room you have for them the more breed

[bold bough]

do i have to stand next to them for them to breed or can I sleeP? i gave them like 30 berries

[nova otter]

i need help

where i can find folder lootmultiplier bc i want to change lootmultiplier

i use r2modman

[bold bough]

can trolls be parried with bronze buckler?

[fringe ore]

non-log yes though you might stagger still iirc

[bold bough]

is it easy to make a bee farm?

[quasi vault]

The hard part is finding the bees in the wild

[bold bough]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOaTW3QvF7k is this guide still relevant?

i have the queen bees

[tired root]

Quite easy, yes. Have them beehives in open area and they produce honey.

[quasi vault]

Just make sure once they are all placed that they are all happy and harvest it every in game day because they stop producing once there's 4 honey

And use said honey to ferment meads to be well prepared to survive the biomes to come

[bold bough]

Thank you. man i never thought there'd be a game as good as terraria but here we are.

[fiery lichen]

Guys I'm having a problem with building my home can someone help me, I put beam 2m /beam 45° they both breaks

If there is way to send pic I can show

[quasi vault]

There's a stability system in the game, things needs support and there's limit with each material with how high you can build

[fiery lichen]

Where can I send a pic

I will show u

[quasi vault]

In screenshots

[fiery lichen]

Ye but I don't have picture permission

Oh nvm it's channel

[fiery lichen]

I did can u look at it and help me bit

I thought the 45° beam need help so I put 2m beam but ye it also breaks

[quasi vault]

You can see if it will break or not by the color of the piece before you place it

and you can also hover your hammer over the pieces you have placed to see their color and how stable they are to know where to add support from the ground

also make sure you are snapping the piece not just placing it on top with no contact

[fiery lichen]

Alr thank u

[sweet stump]

HELP
I made the infinite boar farm setup and fed carrot stacks to the 2 at the top but no boars are spawning. I built it near the boss trophy circle but if that means nothing I cant think of anything else obstructing it.

[subtle parrot]

Try repositioning the food, or raising the bar/wall holding them in up slightly as it could be blocking their view of the food

[quasi vault]

It tells you if they are eating, they will either be hungry or happy

[sweet stump]

Replaced the barriers with half walls covering top half. Still not fixed

[subtle parrot]

Did free place it or are you using the snap points? You need to free place it just above where the snap point would place it

[sweet stump]

Free place it as high as possible?

Found the problem: piglets are dying as they spawn from the top enclosure. The pigs are eating the food but only 2 piglets survived to the bottom

[frosty frost]

Unless something is killing the piggies they should have pretty much no way to die

[sweet stump]

Precisely why im seeking help

[subtle parrot]

Make sure nothing can get to the pigs at the bottom then, double up your walls

[marble roost]

@noble bluff #screenshots message

I think that's just a dragon egg nest burried in a bunch of rock. The crystals are just decorative. Very odd spawn though

(if you have not encountered them yet, you can sometimes find little dragon nests with eggs in them. You can pick the egg up, but in this case you might have to dig into the rock to uncover the egg)

[bold bough]

Quick question about armor value and shields. If I'm naked but I have a great shield, will the shield protect me on its own if I block or parry? The shield doesn't take into account my armor value, right? If this is true, isn't bear armor with a powerful shield a good early game combo? Bear armor takes additional damage but if your shield blocks everything it don't really matter, no?

[sweet stump]

Tower shields only block. The trade off is that while its block armor is highest of its class it doesnt allow you to crit. When blocking, the damage is first reduced by your shield's block value and any remaining damage is then reduced by your armor. They are ESSENTIAL

[marble roost]

Shield does care about armor, but shields are so strong armor often isn't really NEEDED, so even if parrying naked you shouldn't take tooo much damage

For bear armor I believe the weakness is applied after parrying. That means if you get hit by a 100 damage attack, but you parry 80 damage, then the last 20 damage that hits you goes up to 25 damage from bear armor weakness

[true steeple]

shield modifiers -> block armor -> character modifiers -> armor

[tiny gulch]

trying to secure my building area, got a bunch of workbenches around this area with a decently sized river but enemies keep appearing INSIDE and destroying my stuff, how can i further secure my little home?

[tired root]

Campfires have same spawn suppression area as workbenches and enemies won't target them.

[quasi vault]

My loxes will!

[zinc crater]

Some previews let you play longer than 1 to a couple hours. Could be a bug or something if not

[hollow jackal]

If i kill a fuling from the village, how long before it respawns=

[hushed sigil]

Server hosting people: can you provide me / point me in the direction for where to get the files for/with a server setup for Valheim please? I wish to host one privately for me and my kids

[thorn spire]

Try #dedicated-server

[mighty ruin]

Is it me or is the Join code gone now? I don't see it anywhere when I create a server

[true steeple]

You need cross-platform enabled

[mighty ruin]

I'll try ty ❤️

Worked ty necky-chan

[tired root]

Fulings spawning in villages are one time spawns, villages themselves don't respawn enemies.

[past wadi]

what's the purpose of blob bombs?

[frosty frost]

AoE poison dmg to everything but the player 😄

Or do you mean the new vials?

[tired root]

Distraction, clearing certain enemies, mining (lava blobs) etc.

Oozers for example take low damage from residents inside frost caves and kill them quickly since they're weak against poison damage.

Growths can be useful for clearing dvergr towers.

Also for distracting fulings in villages.

[tacit breach]

Since when? They even chase me in preference to everything else.

[frosty frost]

Under blob bombs i assumed the ooze bombs 🙂
Hence my additional question after that statement

[past wadi]

those are easy. quesiton was about bottled ones

[tired root]

One should try using lava blob vials for gathering grausten from dvergr bases in Ashlands - those grants tons of it when lava blob explodes inside them.

[zinc crater]

You can also throw a meteor at it

[bitter bronze]

Hey guys just defeated the queen but cannot sacfrifice the trophy on the stone anyone know what to do ?

[zinc crater]

Perhaps saving, quiting, then restarting the application

[frosty frost]

Which trophy do you have? 🙂
Wait, do you mean at the spawn? You need to click directly at the hook.

[tacit breach]

You doing it from the bar?

[bitter bronze]

ahahhaah thanks bro i was clicking next to the hook😂

[barren canopy]

is anyone willing to gift me turnip seeds?

[zinc crater]

Sure

[barren canopy]

i sent you a message

[wooden compass]

if i have a world pre 1.0 without the deep north loaded, Will I be able to update to version 1.0 and have the new features in the same world?

[lapis terrace]

yes

just don't run to much around in the deep north area

[wooden compass]

im not going to even touch it, ty

[full mesa]

Will they aggro onto you if you throw the blob directly at their base?

I havent tried the other blobs with the exception of oozer and regular blobs

[hushed sigil]

How on earth do you specify the world seed you want to start with in the server config?? (using steam dedicated server)

[bold bough]

if I mod valheim, does everyone on my server also need the mods installed?

[calm socket]

you need to edit the .bat file. right click on the dedicated server, click on browse local files,

then edit start_headless_server and change -world "worldname" to the world name you want to use.

[hushed sigil]

Ok so not -seed “seed” as was my guess heh

[tired root]

I believe hitting any structure might make them warn you first.

[full mesa]

So not an instant "YOU ARE DEAD MEAT" when hitting their strucutres?

[tired root]

They should act like the Mistlands ones so they might give few warnings first.

If something breaks because of you then they aggro.

[full mesa]

The only exceptions are hitting them or stealing the component crate

Instant aggro

[tired root]

Yeah, aka something breaks.

Or boxes with loot inside.

[marble roost]

For most mods I think so.

SOME mods that only affect your own character (such as adding specific slots for armor), you may be able to use without others needing them

[sinful estuary]

For console, is there a way to make things load alphabetically through the crafting tables?

[calm socket]

sadly, no

[true steeple]

You can use the sortcraft command in chat

[calm socket]

oh snap. that's awesome...

[sinful estuary]

Thank y'all! I'm actually going to try that

[marble venture]

I'm ice fishing in the mountain caves, and I'm using frost bait. but it says it's not taking the bait... what am I missing?

[subtle parrot]

Needs cold bait not frosty bait

[tired root]

You need fenring trophy for the right bait, frosty bait is for Deep North fish. The recipe for frosty bait will most likely change in the future.

[calm socket]

hey I started messing around with the filtercraft command.... any idea how I reset it?

[true steeple]

I’ve never used it sorry is there an option for the item ids? That should be default

[calm socket]

I can't see any crafting recipes now >.<

[hollow fractal]

i can't break rocks with a stone pickaxe. did something change since the last time i played months ago?

[subtle parrot]

There is no stone pickaxe, only stone axe. You need to beat the first boss to make an antler pickaxe or go get a troll to mine copper and tin for you to be able to make a bronze pickaxe.

[hollow fractal]

oh ok thanks. been a while since i started over from the beginning. i thought early axe or pickaxe could do it.

[subtle parrot]

Early axes are new, they can cut birch and oak trees, unlike stone and flint axes. But you can use any pickaxe to break rocks. The first one is as i said able to made after beating the first boss.

I also just started over, but my eikthyrs are across a small ocean, so i opted to go employ a couple trolls

[hollow fractal]

my deer boss was like a 1 minute walk from the drop off point. lol but i haven't fought it yet.

[noble jetty]

hello, I'm getting back into the game after a while. I could've sworn you could make raw fish from the couldron, but i don't see it? also, how do I get new bait?

[sharp sonnet]

Hello!
I am new here can sm1 plz tell where I can buy valheim steam keys at a discount humble bundle always says restocking keys in your region....
If this is not the right chat to ask this where do I ask?

[polar vale]

if im holding a wood round shield with 6 armour then i a have a knife with 4x parry bonus in my main hand would i get 24 parry armour or would it use the 1.5x parry bonus of the shield

[olive ocean]

obviously it would only use the values of what is used to parry

[tacit breach]

It's on a new table now.

We also have a bait for each biome now. The classic bait only works for meadows fish. Perch and pike.

[noble jetty]

thank you for your help :))

[terse field]

im trynna build but the top of my structure keeps breaking. is there a way to know why? when i place objects it indicates green or blue

[rain sundial]

how does someone get to bonemass swamp location when its surrounded by plains?

[tacit breach]

Try to find one of the others and hope it's not surrounded is an option.

[rain sundial]

oh there's more

[tacit breach]

At least 3. Some bosses have more

[waxen field]

Does anyone know the reveal radius of mist when using the Wisp Torch?

[jade olive]

About 10m I believe

[true steeple]

Make a root harnesk and run

[rain sundial]

i have a full root set

also for some reason its only giving me +14 bow and not +15, i swear it was +15 before

[true steeple]

Just don’t go near lox and growths, and you’ll be ok

[rain sundial]

what's growths?

so eikthyr, stamina pot and run?

[true steeple]

That’s a rounding error I’m entirely sure how it’s caused but you should be getting +15 even if it displays 14

[rain sundial]

i have medium stamina and tasty pot

[true steeple]

They spawn in tar pits and have a slowing effect on their attacks

[rain sundial]

i can survive maybe 3 hits from a 1 star deathsquito...

[true steeple]

They don’t get stars

[rain sundial]

would i be okay then? im not sure if lox are fast enough

[rain sundial]

really? could it be the creaturelootcontrol mod?

[true steeple]

Lox are fast but they shouldn’t be fast enough. Jump or roll if they try to bite, keep moving for their aoe attack

[rain sundial]

3 star skeletons and greydrawf brutes are like x3 my size hahaha

[true steeple]

Whatever it is it’s caused by a mod

Vanilla enemies can only go up to 2 stars and not all even get stars

[rain sundial]

im not sure, im playing in our guild server and theres like 40 mods

[rain sundial]

may i ask why some dont get stars?

[true steeple]

The devs didn’t want them to

Lox, deathsquitos, greylings are some examples

[rain sundial]

oh okay bc the fact a 5 star deathsquito can exist is...freaking me out

good thing vanilla doesnt have that

[bold bough]

I fed my boars a lot of blueberries but i havent seen a new piggy yet. they ate it all. what gives? do I need to make a bigger pen?

[true steeple]

Boars wont breed with too many others nearby. Kill all except for two and then breed them.

so its time to choose your favourites

[bold bough]

OH

thank you!!

for two to breed a bunch, is 5 berries enough?

[true steeple]

it should be, if you stay close enough to keep them loaded

[sweet stump]

Found a surtling spawner in meadows. Is there still a way to make it into a farm?

[bold bough]

Without spoiling me, can you tell me if later on I can build a boat that can also serve as a base? Like I want to live on the boat and everything.

[quasi vault]

That is not the viking way! There will be bigger boat that you will be able to bring back a lot of riches with though!

[frosty frost]

Yeah, you cant really make a base in your boat, first you can't build anything on your boat and second there is just too much stuff that goes into making even simple base that it would not fit into its storage.

[frosty frost]

Not unless its really low in altitude i am afraid

[waxen field]

How many extractor can I put on one root to make it even worth extracting?

[subtle parrot]

The more extractors on one root the faster it will deplete, best case is to find a spot with 3 or 4 roots close together you can place 1 on each

[true steeple]

use as many as you can with a new root then leave one when it's empty

[little trench]

are queen fragment spawns bugged?

first time playing call to arms update and throughout 4-5 mines now 0 fragments, but bunch of cores

[true steeple]

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, you're probably just getting unlucky

[little trench]

ok

[bleak gust]

guys i finally got to the swamps, what should i look for? i still cant cut the refined wood :/

[calm socket]

You need to go back to Black Forest and craft a bronze axe.

[bleak gust]

go it, but talking about the swamps itslef, what should i look for when i get to explore this biome?

[calm socket]

The most important thing to keep an eye out for is yellow plants. These are turnips and will unlock a major food upgrade.

You'll also want to keep an eye out for stone buildings with iron gates on them.

Usually you'll only find these in larger swamps.

[bleak gust]

ohh, thank you, talking about food, how can i craft soups and mead?

[bleak gust]

mine is small 😭

[calm socket]

You need to farm carrots and make a cauldron

and for meads you'll need to craft a mead ketil and a fermenter

[bleak gust]

i have a cauldron, but i cant craft anything, there is no recipes there

[calm socket]

you're probably missing carrots

[bleak gust]

i got carrot seeds 💔 😭

[calm socket]

all the best recipes in valheim require 1 hunted ingredient, one gathered ingredient and one farmed ingredient.

[bleak gust]

where can i get carrots?

[calm socket]

you have to grow them

make a cultivator

[steep tusk]

Define "best"?

[calm socket]

The top stat food from each biome.... although that doesn't really take feasts into account... they really mixed things up.

[steep tusk]

😬

Top stat food from Meadows has 1 ingredient, so idk how that takes 1 hunted, 1 gathered, and 1 farmed? 😬

[calm socket]

guess I'm talking about once you unlock farming

[steep tusk]

For BF and Swamp, it depends on which category you put "Boar Meat" into.

Even up into Mistlands you've got some top shelf foods that take only 2 ingredients 😬

I get what you were trying to say, but it isn't 100% accurate 🙁

[static quartz]

Did you get your question answered about how to plant and grow your carrots?

[bleak gust]

idk 😭 i stopped playing

[zinc crater]

Carrot seeds are found in black forest, then you use bronze to make a cultivator to plant and farm them

[deep meadow]

Ive seen this information regarding lag, that tree stumps count as 1, walls, floors any build count as 1 and any light source is 2 cus of item and light, but was wondering if every tree also count as 1, or do they only count as 1 once its chopped down and left as a stump?

[subtle parrot]

I think trees are one until you chop it then i believe the stump + the log is 2, or 3 if you break the log

[silk fjord]

hey, anyone know why i am getting the "They were bros, man" raid before i have even killed the Elder?

[frosty frost]

But that should not really affect performance that much unless you are planning to cut down entire forests at a time 🙂

[true steeple]

that raid triggers if the third chest has been returned to hildir, you don't need to kill the elder

[silk fjord]

I havent made it past the black forest

i just started

[frosty frost]

Are you playing with other people or are using mods by chance?

[silk fjord]

no im by myself playing vanilla

[hollow granite]

Is it possible to migrate a single player save to a multiplayer save without doing file management?

[silk fjord]

now there are a bunch of furlings and magic guys destryoing my base and killing me every time i spawn in

[true steeple]

you can use the same characters and worlds in singleplayer and multiplayer

[true steeple]

have you changed any world modifiers?

[silk fjord]

no i just got this game

im playing a basic vanilla world

[true steeple]

you could disable raids until you reach the fifth biome so this doesn't happen again until youre prepared but i have no idea what would be causing it

[silk fjord]

i literally just started making bronze and now everything i had is destroyed

[bleak marsh]

Stay out of the plains

[silk fjord]

i havent been to the plains

ive only been to the black forest and the medows

i found a mountain but didnt go up it

[bleak marsh]

Wierd. There shouldn't be any furlings nor magic dudes where you are

[steep tusk]

Furlings? We playing Stargate 👀

[silk fjord]

it just said "They were bros, man" on my screen and a bunch of green goblin guys with magic spheres around them started destroying all my stuff

[steep tusk]

You, or someone on your world, completed the Tower dungeon in the Plains and killed that boss.

[silk fjord]

but im alone

I dont play with anyone

[tacit breach]

That is insane. That raid should be impossible until you find the required trader.

I'd just try a new world.

[silk fjord]

my world is just gone, every time i spawn in these giants with magic smash me

[steep tusk]

Is this a brand new character or have you played on them before?

[silk fjord]

brand new

[steep tusk]

Mods?

[hollow granite]

Appreciate it

[silk fjord]

i just bought the game yesterday

this is my second day playing

[tacit breach]

Like I said, I would try a new world. Hoping such an crazy glitch doesn't repeat.

[silk fjord]

so what i just lose all my progress?

[tacit breach]

Yep. Better than dealing with craziness like that, and you have hardly progressed at all. In terms of the overall game.

[silk fjord]

god this game is shit

and ive got too many hours to refund at this point

[tacit breach]

Nope. Your luck is that.

[steep tusk]

Yes... one unfortunate bug == entire game is shit and millions should call for refunds and stop playing...

[silk fjord]

yeah that sounds about right

[steep tusk]

Easy block.

[calm socket]

Deadass something doesn't track. Unless you're playing on a server there's no way there are "magic dudes" spawning anwhere you've been.

[tacit breach]

The game is great, when you get a glitch I've never heard of, your luck is the problem.

[silk fjord]

oh bang i reloaded and they are gone

nvm this is a great game

destroyed all my shit tho

[tacit breach]

Yeah it is. Some of us have insane hours playing it.

[silk fjord]

they destroyed all my fucking carrots

[tacit breach]

Now that's always painful.

[sonic citrus]

guys wanna share a story here in case anybody can help. So, I chasing a shipwreck and the place is unstable cause wave keep moving on the land, so I died 3 times trying to recover my corpse there because of a bear then, the 3rd times I died, omg a Troll spawned there. Why I cant recover easily? Because the place is somewhat remote and I need to swim to recover, while bear is around my corpse now also a troll. I asking help for however can help tomorrow 🙂

I have the picture but cannot share here, where I can share the picture?

[tired root]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 is for sharing ingame screenshots/pictures.

[sonic citrus]

ahh thank you!

[bleak marsh]

I mean I say "this game is shit" about every game when I'm frustrated, I usually don't mean it.

[steep tusk]

Would argue you should work on saying what you mean and meaning what you say, but that is just me 🤷‍♂️

[bleak marsh]

I wouldn't argue, cause it's not my buisness. I'd empathise, instead.

[steep tusk]

Empathy is born from being able to put yourself in the other person's headspace.

I cannot fathom a headspace where I say things I do not mean. So that path is closed to me.

[bleak marsh]

That's definitely interesting, because I've never met someone who hasn't at one point been in that headspace. You're definitely among the rarer ones, more power to you. 🙂

[tired root]

You could try loading backup saves of your world and character before the raid happened.

[bleak marsh]

Been a minute since I played, is there a way to switch arrows on the fly or is it only by equiping them in the menu?

[true steeple]

You can equip them from your hotbar too

[bleak marsh]

Only from the menu, then, sounds good! Thank you. 🙂

[olive vale]

Is it normal to have a pangea map, my starter island is massive

dark woods, swamps, mountains, plains, and i'm not even sure where it ends tbh, i was trying to "run around" but man... takes forever

[hollow jackal]

what happens if you play the game with mods but you dont like them so next time you launch without the mod?
Also, is there a mod that gives higher level creatures? I thought EpicLoot would do that but it only gives loot lol

not an extra challenge

[tired root]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 would be good place to ask.

[past wadi]

are dungeons loaded with area their entrance is at?
if something is dorpped on the ground in the dungeon, does it get laoded and theroefe can despawn if area with dungeons' entrance is laoded?

[steep tusk]

If you drop it inside it should be totally fine because the dungeons are actually very high up in the air. So the sweeps to unload dropped things shouldn't affect them, but I could be wrong.

[past wadi]

pheh, guess I better of finding chest near the exit instead

[marble pagoda]

or build a basic fire in the dungeon (doesn't have to be lit)

that will disable despawning

[still blaze]

Anyone know why my house was gone when I loaded into my dedicated server that I created?

[proper shoal]

is it possible someone griefed it?

[ancient zodiac]

What is the plains Boss weakness

[calm socket]

silver sword or frostner

[steep tusk]

Silver Sword

[ancient zodiac]

so the black metal sword wont do any damage like the silver sword

[calm socket]

Spirit helps a lot because it's hard to keep up damage on him

It's doable with a maxed bm sword but... harder

[steep tusk]

BM will do just slashing damage.
Silver adds the stacking Spirit DoT on top of that, melting him.

[ancient zodiac]

thanks

[calm socket]

I always use a Frostner because I find it more useful in ML

[steep tusk]

I will never recommend Frostner because I find it to be a horrible weapon.

[tired root]

Crystal battleaxe is also nice against Yagluth.

[calm socket]

I tried it on my first attempt of him but with the movement speed debuff I couldn't get much traction with it

[tired root]

Fenris set and Ratatosk tonic helps with the ms penalty.

[ocean shoal]

is making one of these feast type things gonna help me as solo?

[calm socket]

Absolutely

They've got great stats

[tired root]

Balanced stats, last 50 minutes and save inventory slots.

[digital cosmos]

My beloved crystal battleaxe just give this guy a nice hair cut yesterday

[calm socket]

are you able to get a full combo in very often?

[digital cosmos]

Yeah like half the time when i was near him

[calm socket]

I'm goinna have to give it another try I suppose

do you use battle axes much in ML?

[tired root]

1-2 combos usually, depends also if you stand on flames a while.

[tired root]

Hmm, would have used maybe other word but yeah quite well melts. 👍

[tiny gulch]

best way to tame ol wolves?
having a hard time KEEPING them somewhere as they just break the crap out of stuff no matter how much I place, is there a better method that I am not aware of?

[calm socket]

dig a pit

[digital cosmos]

Sorry for that..😅

[heady pulsar]

hi! so im playing w my boyfriend and we just discovered the plains and the enemies there r so difficult and they kill us so fast. we just finished killing the elder- i don't know whether to wait until we get stronger and go in, or if there's some trick to it? ty

[calm socket]

plains is the 5th biome

your next goal is to try and find swamps

[heady pulsar]

yesss we were looking for the swamps but we came across the plains and there's a trader there, so we wanted to go in, but I think it's impossible now

[calm socket]

Hm. Yeah. You could try to sail around or approach from an easier direction but yeah. Plains mobs are going to be a major struggle for you currently. Honeslty if it's the merchant I expect it is (looks like a shirt?) They've got nothing really essential at the moment.

[heady pulsar]

oooh okayy thanks for the information. i think we'd better keep looking for the swamp ! thank you very much for answering

[calm socket]

Good luck with swamps. It is usually a major hurdle for new players.

[still blaze]

No

No one else joined yet

[proper shoal]

swamp is probably my fav biome once I get silver gear

super easy fighting vs everything

before that though? suffering

[proper shoal]

swamps should be before plains in terms of the radius distance from the center of the world, but yeah, focus on swamps first

Once you get at least iron armor set lvl 4, then you can go to plains, though for first time players it's recommended to do normal progression and not plains rush

[marble roost]

Mistlands is my favorite

I find Swamp quite dreary. Which is probably the point, but eh

[proper shoal]

I argue after going to ashlands, mistlands does become a favourite easily

since it's relatively peaceful compared to you know, ashlands

[marble roost]

It was my favorite as soon as I found it

[proper shoal]

I used to hate mistlands but exploration wise, it wasn't so bad

[marble roost]

I love the setting, love the gear, and enjoy that you have to use your hearing, and enjoy that there's not random arrows from nowhere oneshotting me

[proper shoal]

My least liked biome is deffo mountains

too damn empty

everything else is fine however

[marble roost]

fair

frost caves are my favorite dungeon tho

[proper shoal]

frost caves is w/e

mistlands dungeons is better

would say the only one feeling like a "dungeon"

[cedar herald]

hello friends! do boat masts and sails have hitboxes?? trying to design a simple bridge

[marble roost]

I don't think the sail does, but the mast (including the wooden part extending horizontally at the top of the sail I believe) does yes. Your ship will stopm maybe get stuck, and possibly capsize if the mast hits something

[ocean shoal]

put a place you can jump across heheh

[hushed sigil]

It’s the boat frame entirely and the wooden mast and cross piece that count, not the sails themselves.

If you are building in calm water, build around an existing boat and add a bit more for the gentle swells. If the water is wave affected you’ll need to build up pretty high and to measure it you’ll need at least two corewoods higher than calm water if you want to attempt to sail under during a storm.

[digital cosmos]

Yesterday was my first time with mistlands and i love this biome, the structures and dungeons and the fact that there are friendly dwarfs helping you is just soothing for playing solo

[hushed sigil]

You can end up with a really good base with some of their structures. I enjoy the docks

[tardy current]

So obviously there's the little crypts caves and ruined houses around the map, but does this game have big Vintage Story style structures?

[tardy current]

How limiting is cross play modding for Valheim in recent years

[bold bough]

ive waited many days but the bears that used to roam my black forests are all gone

when do they respawn?

[drowsy crane]

It's hard to answer this having never played that game. 👀

[digital cosmos]

From images on the internet i'd say you won't find big big structures like castles that take some steps to get across of them and something like that
Imo it is not really possible to get that into the game tho with the building stability mechanics and not breaking the games proggresion (or maybe it would rather take to much time to make that)

[glacial spindle]

Are there other meads i need to had before i engage yagluth? I have barley wine and ratatosk in my inventory

[digital cosmos]

You're taking health mead too?

[glacial spindle]

Also is root harnesk with fenris leggings and padded armor viable for this or go for full padded armor set?

[glacial spindle]

Oh thank you for reminding me that, need to make some of those

[digital cosmos]

Root harnesk is not a good choice i don't think yagluth has pierce dmg

I don't really know why you want to wear fenris leggings, for movement speed?

[glacial spindle]

Yeah for movement

Now i think about it, now i crafted the ratatosk, i might dont need it

and probadly go for full padded armor set

[digital cosmos]

Yeah the 3% from one piece wouldn't do too much

[bold bough]

my boat is gone. i made it and put it next to the shore but now it's gone. i even marked it on the map but it's completely missing...

[quasi vault]

The moment you leave your boat or even just jump off at sea, the boat anchor itself so it never moves if someone isn't on it

[digital cosmos]

Also i killed him without stamina mead but if you're using heavier weapon with big stamina consumption you'll probably need it

[bold bough]

i know so i dont get how my karve is gone

[quasi vault]

Enemies will destroy it

[bold bough]

poof. i even had a workbench near it. workbench is also gone.

[glacial spindle]

I'm gonna use silver sword level 4 against him, also heavy weapon while wearing full padded armor will kinda slows even more

[digital cosmos]

Seems like it was destoyed

[quasi vault]

Like portals or workbench you want to make sure there isn't enemies destroying it before you leave the area entirely. It's dangerous to leave boats on the edge of the render distance since mobs will likely spawn around and destroy it without you hearing it

but it takes a long time for the materials to despawn

[digital cosmos]

Yeah but you can try what speed you'll be working with at the fight, ratatosk mead gives 15% the same amount as padded armor set will decrease ms so if you equip your weapon without armor you can cleary see how does that work for you

I don't know if you want to wait 10 minutes for ratatosk to run out but you can do that😅

Oh and don't forget to use barley wine before battle starts, i almost died in fist seconds of the fight because of that fire dmg

[glacial spindle]

Will do, thank you 🙂

[tired root]

Full Fenris is nice for speed and innate fire resistance from set bonus. Makes easier to outrun the meteors.

[glacial spindle]

If full fenris, what will be the foods you need to take against him?

[digital cosmos]

If i would take a guess probably HHS

[tired root]

HHS or HSF for me.

[quasi vault]

Depends how confident you are, for the first time I think it's always best to have more health. Especially for bosses with status effect (since that food also heal you back much faster) and also because you don't know the moves and are likely to take a couple hits. It will just make the fight longer but it's fine, just take your time

Maybe not longer since it will likely save you from dying

[glacial spindle]

HHS or HSF?

[steep tusk]

HHS.

(Health, Health, Stamina)

[glacial spindle]

Oh ok 🙂

[steep tusk]

Food sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat , you want the Configurations tab.

[marble roost]

Full padded only gives -10%

Helmets don’t limit your move speed

[digital cosmos]

Oh wow.. i didn't realize that, thanks

[marble roost]

Also wearing fenris legs vs heavy legs armor is basically a 8% speed boost not 3%

Speed is pretty valuable in yag fight. Though still for a newbie I think tanky build is a bit better

[bold bough]

Evo, bears and trolls respawn right? but for some reason it's been like a week but the bears I killed won't respawn.

[drowsy crane]

There is no guarantee, your best bet is to explore new lands at a fast rate.

[quasi vault]

Yeah they will respawn at random in the forest you've already explored, just running back and forth in it will make new enemies spawn

[drowsy crane]

It won't unless you're killing things.

[olive island]

Hi all ❤️ just got the map marker for Moder, and its pretty far north. I'm worried that if we go there, then our map won't get the Deep North update (I believe you won't get the new biome if you've already explored there).

Does anyone know how close you can get to the Deep North, before it'll stop it spawning in for the update? I hope this makes sense.

[tired root]

No Moder altar ever get too close to Deep North area in my experience.

[quasi vault]

It does and you do not need to worry it certainly is far enough away for any of it to render

[tired root]

If you want you can share the seed and I can look up how close it is from the DN border.

[olive island]

ill put a screenshot of our map in #screenshots

[tired root]

Ok, seems like it's good, no need to worry.

[olive island]

thank you so much!

appreciate it a lot. I love this server. Everyone is so helpful and kind

[tired root]

Also to answer your other question, IIRC the exploration radius that locks the content around the player is around 400m.

[olive island]

Good to know. Thank you!

[tired root]

But Deep North currently has (and probably will have post update) ocean between it and other biomes, so it may not affect that much even if you stumbled upon the border a bit.

[past wadi]

is there some kind of quest system in the game?..
it almost feels like Hildir wants me to do something

[tired root]

There is no similar quest journal as some other games.
Have you clicked her map table?

[past wadi]

sh ehas map table?! O_o

[abstract eagle]

Those are the best additions to the game since launch imo. Wish other traders had similar

[steep tusk]

Quite possible she gets a DN dungeon added with 1.0

[stoic trench]

Oh? Why is that? 👀

[glad current]

Because I need moar clothes!

[marble roost]

Love hildr's quests, hate her items available for sale

[tacit breach]

Agreed. I'm not going to dress essentially nakedness and farm in the plains or Mistlands.

[finite goblet]

i kinda wish you could wear the cloths under your armor and they were instead a cosmetic as opposed to flat armor

kinda like azu EPI

[stoic trench]

I appreciate the harvest set, but yeah not a fan of the other clothes lol

[marble roost]

I don't mind the clothes having less armor

I just don't find the buffs worth going and buying the clothes and swapping to them every time I plant something to have to then swap back to my original armor after

[subtle parrot]

I don't really mind that too much tbh, mostly usually only when I'm doing plains crops though, cause i like to plant a huge field of barley and flax. Only ever had to deal with a deathquito once like that, but it wasn't a big deal.

[abstract fossil]

guys how do i convince my friends to get valheim and play it with me

[hushed sigil]

Send them videos of you playing and dying alone haha

[abstract fossil]

will try it thanks

[lavish flame]

Is it just me or with fully upgraded Ashland gear I'm barely doing damage to any of the Ashland mods

And boss

[drowsy crane]

What weapons are you using?

[lavish flame]

Lighting mace

Max upgrade but the boss barley takes damage

But I basically get one shot by the fire on the ground with max hell stone armor

Fire resistant doesn't work because it does piercing damage

[drowsy crane]

I would recommend using some magic for Fader, it has 25000 health, and Magic can up your damage while also using melee weapons.

[true steeple]

The fissure attack? That has no pierce, the only damage it has that affect players is 120 fire ticking twice per second

The wiki had incorrect numbers a while back but they should be correct now

The only pierce fader has is from his melee attacks

[final meadow]

Any way to spot buerial chambers in the black forest? Or just have to be right on top of them?

[true steeple]

The skeletons spawned around can be easy to notice

[final meadow]

Didn't spot any at my first one. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks!

[tacit breach]

There are usually 3 of them
You run into skeletons, there is a tomb near by.

[final meadow]

Appreciate the advice.

Ha! Just ran into 3 guarding a stone tower. Shame.

I assume purple flame is a bad thing, right?

[tacit breach]

Spawner. Yeah forgot they guard towers
😆

[final meadow]

So it was. And I knew about the tower thing. Just thought it was amusing to immediatly run into the wrong skeletons.

[tacit breach]

The game likes to raise our hopes before smashing them.

[lavish flame]

Well fire dose piercing poison and fire so you take 200 damg for no reason

[true steeple]

Poison?

[lavish flame]

It just hurts really badly for no reason

And I'm doing like 1 damg with my sword

It's impossible to fight by yourself and even with a full team it just gives him more hp

[marble roost]

Can lower the difficulty if you need to, but it's not impossible to fight solo. Plenty have done it

Think it's just about your approach and skill level. If you're not great at positioning / dodging, melee is going to be rough. Magic is a little more forgiving

With Fader you really don't want to tank ANY damage, other than from his melee attacks. He just does too much damage

[heady pulsar]

does anybody know how to find the swamps

[finite river]

question - i haven't played in a year - did they get rid of the ores popping if you dig out all the earth from around the vein?

nvm lol

[marble roost]

Sail around, explore, look.

They're pretty common. Just move a tad bit away from the center of the map (where the stones of power are). If you're just sailing around your starting island you might not find them.

[past wadi]

is iron spear anything special or just meh over bronze one?

[karmic plover]

I'd say it's much better than bronze one

But kinda useless in the swamp

Most enemies there are neutral or resistant to pierce

I overall love spears, but for the swamp I usually craft the mace

Most things are weak to blunt, including the boss

[past wadi]

prepping for mountains

[past wadi]

I see that it needs at least lvl3 to start outputing damage buff comapred to stamina bump

[karmic plover]

It's a bit tough, but you will need the damage in the mountain

Or you can rawdog it and aim to get the fang spear asap

[gloomy sun]

@past wadi

do you know

[rain sundial]

how high can wraiths fly if im making a tree house in the swamp>

[bold bough]

I am a terraria player and I love the progression of terraria. And Valheim is even better! But is there a list or guide that shows me the Best in slot gear I can have before each boss. I don't like missing anything and I like upgrading to the fullest extent possible before progressing to the next boss.

[ocean shoal]

there's not that hugely many kinds of armor to make compared to terraria, you can just compare stats

[finite goblet]

basically the choice in every biome (except ashlands) for armor is as follows : if you like moving fast and play the game well, go light armor. if you want more protection but move slower, go heavy

the last 2 biomes have magic armors so use them only on magic users

as for weapons, the game doesnt really have a "best" weapon type and not every biome has every weapon type

[tired notch]

You can also mix and match, I find that to be better most of the time.

[finite goblet]

mixing and matching is where things get complicated, i was giving a simple overview for a first couple playthroughs

although once you discover the root harnesk, the plains is never the same

[hallow plaza]

Generally the non metal.armors are easier to max, bit they also have an rng component some times, amd can be a pain

[marble roost]

I wouldn’t think there’s a limit

[rain sundial]

so no matter how high I build, they can still get me?

it's annoying, they do so much damage

[marble roost]

If they agro onto you I imagine they’ll keep flying to catch you

But if you’re high enough they may not be able to agro. That said, in my experience wraiths usually spawn up in the trees

You could spawnproof the immediate area

[haughty stump]

Just put workbenches around the base, they prevent mob spawning.
Make sure you set your perimeter according to the base terrain footprint for desirable results.

[past wadi]

how to find fish to catch? specifically looking for swamp one

[subtle parrot]

Find a swamp, go out in the shallows between the swamp and ocean

[last osprey]

sail around swamp coasts with your longship

makes it easy to find fish and stops mobs from bothering you as long as you don't get too close to shore

[haughty stump]

Find Haldor the merchant. Get rod. Get bait. Upgrade bait at preparation table with trophy (cant remember which) to make swamp-bait (has a name but i forgot).
Sail and find fish spot. Fish. Good luck

[woeful star]

It's the abomination trophy for the swamp bait 🙂

[past wadi]

great,
so how to find fish spot? (that's what I asked)

[past wadi]

I met more trollfish there then the one i needed somehow

[past wadi]

hm, why particularly longship though?

[haughty stump]

Look for fishes in water, just observe where they are located, near a swamp.
Thats the only way I know.

[woeful star]

Yea, there isnt designated fishing spots. If you see a fish in the water, you can catch it

[past wadi]

okay, perhaps I was again unlucky

[past wadi]

omg the feeling of bringing cart through swamp, collecting like 4-5 syncen crypts with 200ish iron and finally sailing on the longboat to smelt it all at home...

only to spend like 5 minutes docking haha

[digital cosmos]

And later realizing that's not enough iron💀

[past wadi]

always has been

[radiant pilot]

If I never discovered the deep north in my solo play through, once the deep north is officially out can I continue my current play through or do I need to create a new game?

[subtle parrot]

You can continue in your world, as long as you have not discovered or explored the area just south of the DN, it should load up the new content

And by "just south" i mean like near the shoreline of DN

[radiant pilot]

Thanks appreciate the response

[noble bluff]

How do I get more tar? I killed all the growths and dot a bit but I need a lot more

[frosty frost]

Did you drain the pit? 😄

[drowsy crane]

If you drain the pools of tar into a pit, there a ton of tar at the bottom.

[noble bluff]

Drain the pool?

How?

[subtle parrot]

Dig a trench

[drowsy crane]

Pickaxe a valley for the tar to flow down and away.

Also pickaxe the very bottom of the tar pit, some can be underground.

[bold bough]

When running a private dedicated server, does the host computer need to have valheim installed?

[marble pagoda]

nah just the dedicated server "game"

[compact heath]

This is correct, its a different file / installation for hosting, not the game files you can use to play.

[final meadow]

Should I worry about "unable to sync to Steam" error?

[bold bough]

when running a private dedicated server, is it possible to control nearly every facet of the game? for example, if i didnt want people killing bosses right away but only when I deemed everyone ready, I can do this? all this can be done via commands in the start headless server.bat?

[somber nacelle]

a serpent just spawned on me during the middle of a sunny day

[somber nacelle]

i didnt even know it was possible?

i thought it was only either during night time or rainy

bro why is ts wind against me

[subtle parrot]

Could've been a spawn from a rainstorm that went unnoticed?

[drowsy crane]

Is this a question or?

[somber nacelle]

no 😔

[drowsy crane]

Did you need help?

[somber nacelle]

no but i have 26 stacks of iron is this enough for the rest of the game?

[drowsy crane]

Depends on where you are in the game, but likely no.

[somber nacelle]

WHAT

[tacit breach]

He's not wrong.

[final meadow]

If I break my own beehive, I get the bee back, right?

[drowsy crane]

Yes you will.

[final meadow]

Thanks!

[compact heath]

You always get everything back, with a few exceptions, mainly fuel from fires and light sources is the main thing that you do not get back.

[final meadow]

Just wanted to be sure this wasn't one of them. The wiki points out that bees are not renewable.

[compact heath]

Yeah they don’t respawn when you cut down the hive from a house ruin where they can be found in meadows and sometimes Black Forest as well

[final meadow]

I've been keeping an eye out. Only found two so far.

[digital tangle]

Definitely not, between making armor and weapons then also upgrading armor and weapons just for swamp and mountains(until you get silver) then you'll also need iron for the padded armor in plains. Let's not forget some of the build pieces that require iron or iron nails to build

[somber nacelle]

😭 but bro its 26 stacks.....

[digital tangle]

Yep that'll get you through a couple of upgrades for armor or weapons lol

[cunning kindle]

Anyone with mods available to help level some terrain near my spawn?

[digital tangle]

You'll actually spend more time chopping trees than anything else. Need wood for building, fuel and crafting some items.

[violet tinsel]

frostner or silver sword

[digital tangle]

Frostner, frost damage+spirit+blunt with knock back comes in very handy

[marble venture]

I have lost count of the nights I've spent in the mountains looking for a 2⭐ wolf to capture, tame, and breed.

I'm killing every drake and wolf I can find to cycle mob spawning as fast as possible, and pulling golems into pits with a harpoon so I don't waste time killing them and I don't get surprised with more golems in that spot.

I know 2 star wolves have a very low chance but am I doing something wrong? can I increase the chance somehow? does it get more likely if I move further from spawn?

[sullen hollow]

ahahahhaha

[sick nebula]

im having the same issue with asksvin

[last osprey]

There is no secret trick to it, sorry. It's just RNG luck

for wolves you'll generally want to do it before killing Yag or the bosses after because it'll clog up the mountains with their night spawns otherwise, but that's pretty much it

[marble roost]

Changing your difficulty to Very Hard ups the starred spawn rate

[quasi vault]

It can be rough, just had 3 2 star wolf spawn in 1 night with 2 of them at the same time who absolutely destroyed me

[marble roost]

Think I've only found a two star wolf once or twice in my 1000 hours

And I immediately killed it

[subtle parrot]

I've seen a few, and avoided them or sniped them, caught a few 1 stars for breeding though

[glad current]

Why does “breaking your own beehive” sound like an idiom?

[marble roost]

@steel wolf Tell your buddy that spear can be thrown 🤣

[final meadow]

Because you have a dirty mind. I do too, because as soon as you said that, my brain gave me "ah, breaking you own beehive, are we? Say no more, say no more, say no more. Nudge, nudge, wink wink. Are you a beekeeper, eh?"

[subtle parrot]

[steep tusk]

Because we just talked about Yag's feet pics?

Real.

[glacial spindle]

Is there a mob other than the dvergr that drops the soft tissue or shell?

use for the refined eitr

[marble roost]

No. Gotta get it from dvergr, dvergr wooden crates, or most commonly: black marble skulls

[steep tusk]

bbrrrraaaaaiiiiiinnnnsssss

[glacial spindle]

Ok 🙂

[glad current]

I meant more along the lines of “destroying the source of prolonged joy in the pursuit of instant gratification” but yes, I do have a dirty mind as well 🤣

[glacial spindle]

Just got soft tissues from skulls, looks like i have to be on a look out for these guys

[marble roost]

When I joined this server (around mistlands release) I remember there being either a rule or general community consensus to put spoiler tags on content beyond swamps to not spoil new players

Has this concept been pretty much scrapped since?

[woeful star]

I didn't even know it was a rule, so probably, yeah

[tired root]

I don't remember such rule honestly.
But ongoing PTB discussions were always supposed to stay in PTB channel during the test.

[rain sundial]

do i need an iron pickaxe or iron axe for progression?

[tired root]

Pickaxe, yes. Axe, no.

[rain sundial]

okay got it thank you

[tired root]

Axe is not required but it cuts better than bronze. But it's one of the most skippable tools.

Like bronze pickaxe is not required to mine iron but it hits better than antler.

[rain sundial]

makes sense

[marble roost]

Probably just something people started doing when a lot of new players joined for Mistlands release

Probably not so needed anymore, but still I kinda wish at least DN stuff was spoilered in here

[abstract eagle]

Iron axe doubles as a great weapon. Have one of each, plenty of iron to go around

[marble roost]

I'm partial to the battleaxe myself

[tired root]

Battleaxe.

[rain sundial]

iron isnt an issue anymore, i have a forge in a huge swamp biome right now and a couple other friends are making their way with even more resources

also was wondering
is the needle arrow any good against like swamp mobs?

[tired notch]

Yeah

[rain sundial]

i was thinking maybe even moder

[tired notch]

Yes for both, very good arrow

[rain sundial]

fantastic thanks, whatabout like poison arrow? i havent got those yet

[steep tusk]

Poison, unfortunately, sucks.

[steep tusk]

Frost arrow is the best arrow in the game.

[rain sundial]

someone said that the dots stack infinitely

[rain sundial]

oh, i havent got that either
just unlocked iron recipes, bonemass should be dead tomorrow

[tired root]

Nope, they don't. In case of poison it just reset the poison duration but doesn't add any damage, unlike fire and spirit.

[steep tusk]

Someone lied.

[rain sundial]

oh, the fire dots stack?

[steep tusk]

Aye.

That's why you beat Elder to death with torches 😁

[rain sundial]

thats insane

how much iron can you get from 1 crypt on average

[steep tusk]

Depends on your seed rng?

My world it is probably like 40?

[rain sundial]

thats insane haha

[hallow plaza]

Anywhere from 0 to two hundred

Usually 25-60

[rain sundial]

200 wtf

i thought 30 was the normal

theres around 12-13 crypts in this biome

[hallow plaza]

Two hundred would be mega rare

Like max size, perfect chest rng rare

Versus, I've literally walked into a full dead end crypt before

[last osprey]

2-4 stacks is about my usual

depending on dungeon size and chest RNG

[nova otter]

can someone help

[tawdry solstice]

Can someone help me out?
I am trying to get a dedicated server running form another computer. When I edit the start_headless_server bat file and change the server name and password, it comes up as the defult on steam. Anyone know any ways to get past this?

How should I get to Moder if that mountain is completely surrounded by mistland? xD

[frosty frost]

Fast and with a portal in your pocket 😄

[hollow jackal]

LOL
For some reasons Fulings dont attack me, they only walk towards me and than run away, what can that be?

All other creatures do attack

[violet tinsel]

can you parry a stone golem with a iron buckler? it staggers me and him when i do it

[frosty frost]

Yep you can, just have decent food in you 🙂

[thorn spire]

What he said. What are you eating?

[violet tinsel]

deer stew, carrot soup, and the queens jam

[echo sparrow]

so 2 biomes back food lol

[thorn spire]

You need to upgrade to swamp or mountain food.

You should at least have sausage and turnip stew.

If you can, find the bog witch and get the woodland herb blend for the Swamp Dweller's delight feast.

[thorn spire]

I assume since you have the iron buckler that you're past swamp, right? Defeated the mass?

[violet tinsel]

yes

[thorn spire]

yeah, just get some top tier food in you. Your cauldron should be lvl 2 now, with the spice rack.

[hollow jackal]

are there multiple moder locations per world? Cuz i aint running through mistlands to get there lol

[thorn spire]

I think 3.

that'd be a very unfortunate seed if her altar was completely surrounded by mistlands.

[hollow jackal]

Yeah dont feel very lucky lol, so my best bet now is to just go to another side of the world and find a new big mountain and a new vegvisir that will showa new location i guess

[subtle parrot]

My current playthrough seed, i found a small tower on the side of a mountain i ran up to real quick and it had a moder veg in it. And her location seems to be really close to my haldor location. Which is really close to spawn for a haldor location.

When you make a suggestion in the #suggestions channel and your message gets kicked because you forgot the lightbulb, you shouldn't have to wait 30 min before posting, because you didn't actually post anything.

[hollow jackal]

is it true there are parts of the mistlands that arent misty?

[echo sparrow]

yes, oddly spaced and sized pockets

[past wadi]

Is there a way to cheat back items instead of crafting them?
My friend disconnected on xbox and got empty inventory

[vivid fossil]

If one of you is on PC, you can spawn it on a private world and just bring it over to your current one

Idk how you'd do that on Xbox though

[minor goblet]

is anyone a good builder

[thorn spire]

there are likely lots of people in #building-tips and #building-discussion that are.

[minor goblet]

Bet

[past wadi]

Okay and how to spawn items?
(Oh maybe I was using server commands mod where I found about materials, but filed to find gear IDs on wiki nor guess them to /spawn)

[subtle parrot]

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

[violet tinsel]

should i make fenris armor + flesh ripper or the wolf armor + frostner?

[thorn spire]

As with all of these type of questions, it depends on your playstyle. I like the speed bonus of the fenris set, as well as the fire resistance.

If you're tankier, go for the heavy armor. It does look good.

[final meadow]

Do crops not grow while sleeping?

[thorn spire]

they do.

[final meadow]

These carrots are taking their sweet time, then.

Thanks for the advice!

[thorn spire]

3 full in-game day/night cycles.

[austere scroll]

Can anyone help me figure out why my server just stopped working? It was up for 5 days and now it wont start. It will start with a new vanilla install but as soon as I add Bebinex it will not start.

I am using AMP to host. All my other servers are just fine. I checked Bepinex logs and get no errors. Nothing has changed, no updates of any kind.

[thorn spire]

if Bepinex is a mod, try asking in #mods-issues

[compact heath]

That sounds like you should contact your 3rd party host AMP to figure out whats going on

And yes its not a Valheim issue its mod or hosting provider related, not caused by the game but by Bepinex or AMP I'd say.

[past wadi]

Mountains
I spent like 20 minutes in them
got 2 eggs
found 1 treasure
fought some wolfes and drakes
0 silver veins
0 caves
what's up with my luck?

[full mesa]

Wheres your wish bone

someone correct me if im wrong but, silver veins only spawn at 125m elevation and drake nest I believe only spawn at 100m

[subtle parrot]

That's about right for silver

[past wadi]

dang. my map looks like shit
except for these 2 small mountain regions
there's only one that I can get to without crossing plains.
plains! karl
and none look large

[compact heath]

Unless you used a web browser map viewer, I don't believe a map can really be shit, its so big (if you are only 1 person) - there is soooo many plains biomes, the most common complaint with bad maps is where its hard to get to the 4th boss or something, which usually there is at least one area where its not that hard to get to.

There will probably be some mountains somewhere with lots of dungeons and ore for sure.

[terse field]

does a ward prevent other players from removing items on item stands?

[jolly tapir]

So I want to do an infested cavern in the Mistlands. I can eat bread, lox pie, and serpent stew. I have a lvl 3 Silver sword, 66 total armor from fenris legs, a lvl 4 wolf cloak, and the padded armor chest peice, plus iron brooch. Realistically what are my chances?

Flip side, are frost arrows or needles arrows better? (Draugr Fang)

[zinc crater]

Since seekers do mainly pierce damage I would personally suggest an upgraded root harnesk, and at least to have a lvl 2-3 black metal shield if you're going for parries until you can upgrade more

Frost arrows on top as well

[hushed sigil]

Activate wishbone and climb higher than drake nests. You’ll find more luck on mountains that have steep/spikey appearances as opposed to ones that are rounded. Wishbones don’t always find silver they also find treasure but keep at it you’ll find some in the end. Make sure you bring with you a way to get it back to the boat or better still, smelt the gear you want to make where you found it and then portal home as you can’t travel with the ore or ingots but you can with the armour etc.

[turbid bramble]

Hi everyone, I have a very serious problem. I started a new server, but just now I suddenly can't craft bronze. I've rebuilt the furnace and tried setting it up anywhere, but I still can't craft it. All my requirements are met, but I just can't make it. Everything was working fine before...

[zinc crater]

Have you tried saving, quiting, and restarting the game/server?

[turbid bramble]

Yes, I've saved/restarted the game. I tried going back to a previous server, and it worked fine. But on the new server, I can't craft bronze.

[hushed sigil]

Mined tin and copper ore.
Got surtling cores from burial chambers.
Made a smelter and a charcoal kiln.
Put copper and tin ore in smelter and coal in smelter.
Acquired tin bar and copper bar from smelter.
Made a forge with stone, wood, copper bars, and coal.
Opened up forge and looked at recipe list, and it lacked bronze bar?

[tired root]

Is the copper/tin properly mined and smelted, not spawned by console commands?

[turbid bramble]

The recipe is normal, even a little strange. Occasionally, when I rebuild the furnace, I can craft items up to Bronze X1, but not X5. *My Copper X10 and Tin X5 meet the requirements.

It was a normal mining operation! These issues occurred when I was upgrading my bronze axe after returning from chopping wood...

[tired root]

Hmm, so 1x recipe works but 5x doesn't? Have you tried holding shift with 1x recipe? Holding shift makes you craft 5 items with one click, but also taking 5x time to craft them.
Verifying your files could be one way to try solve the issue, but otherwise if it occurs still you could try asking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 for more solutions.
If you end up posting there it would be good idea to include you have not spawned any of the metals and don't use any mods (assuming you are not using any).

[turbid bramble]

First of all, thank you all for your timely participation in discussing my question. Yes, I didn't generate or install any mods. I created a new server because I wanted to challenge myself with a higher difficulty level and start from scratch. I specifically created a completely new character for this purpose. The previous server had been running for about 14XX days. This is the first time I've encountered a problem like this, which is why I'm asking for help.🙏

[rain sundial]

is troll raid the worst raid building wise?

[turbid bramble]

I believe that the troll wielding a wooden stick (tree trunk) is very destructive to early-game buildings

[last osprey]

not really. Trolls do lots of damage to buildings but they're also slow and only spawn 2 at a time.
The fuling raids (especially the sealed tower one), gjall and charred are much more dangerous to your base

[rain sundial]

it is, usually im chilling in the swamp base and let the wraiths tear them apart but unfortunately i was afking at meadows and it took a small chunk of a warehouse

[rain sundial]

is there any ways to protect bases from these raids? our bases are quite massive

[last osprey]

Don't hide in your base and the enemies won't attack it? That's the least effort way at least.
Otherwise:
for fulings: terrain walls or moats and making sure you kill any shamans and berserkers first
for gjall: don't build in the mistlands, the raid only happens there. If you do build there use black marble since it's immune to fire
for charred: terrain walls/moats again, ideally with a shield generator. Charred marksmen tear through everything else with their volley shots if you get groups of them and they attack much faster than most other enemies.

also you can avoid the sealed tower raid by just not delivering the chest to hildir

[rain sundial]

okay thank you, i didnt hide from the trolls but somehow they just went and murked the boars and the bees

i was leading them away

[last osprey]

ah yeah raid enemies are laser-guided towards any pets

you can also breed wolves or asksvin and release them around your base

if you're in the meadows or black forest wolves even get self sustaining thanks to the deer and boar spawns

[rain sundial]

oh wow i see

havent killed bonemass yet, just got into iron age
mostly just building a ton
ive sent that raid precautions to our server though thanks :D

do skills lower if u die to fall dmaage

oh they do

[last osprey]

every death, doesn't matter what caused it

[turbid bramble]

I think I know why...I guess
It's a bit strange. I tried rebuilding the furnace completely on a completely empty area, and it worked fine. But the original buildings seem to be interfering with the walls and modeling, causing the glued tool table to malfunction. This is similar to when I built near a merchant; even a slight touch of the enchanted space would render the item unusable. However, because moving the mouse slightly during construction allows for normal construction, but the object goes out of bounds, it still registers as malfunctioning or unusable.

[full mesa]

If you're planning to go for infested mine runs with fenris set, use the root harnesk, the main primary damage type in this biome is pierce so the root harnesk will negate most of that damage

But for me I would go for full padded but replace chest piece with root harnesk, mobility won't be too useful in the tight corridors of the infested so survivability is good

Weapon choice, go with whatever is your preference is

But if you want the all round best, the frostner is a great choice as the enemies in the mistlands are resistance to all physical damage type so the frostners frost elemental damage and slow down is great for crowd control and damage aswell

[rain sundial]

iron sledge or iron mace?

[true steeple]

The mace is generally better, especially for bonemass and stone golems

[rain sundial]

ah got it thanks

[past wadi]

Sledge is kinda expensive, slows you down and is two handed so you don't get parry bonus from shield.
But, you get (realy?) good crowd control thanks to stagger that gets even to draugrs.
Can't say much about how it performs in mountains yet
But compared to altgeir it doesn't drain as much stamina while keeping enemies away.
And added bonus is easy cleaning of crypts cause aoe dmg usually gets to spawns as well.

[vale ledge]

Can someone explain why the wells in the snowy mountains are hollow at the bottom? The tracker tells me there's something underneath, but there's nothing, and it won't let me dig any further. It's stuck around the well's perimeter, and I can't get out. I don't understand why they do that... there's nothing there. The tracker indicates it, but it won't let me out. Is this a joke? Because it's not funny at all...

[marble roost]

There's not really "supposed" to be anything at the bottom of them. If the wishbone is pinging then that's just random RNG that there's silver or other treasure in the area, but with how those structures generates I suppose it's possible that you can't dig far enough down to find it. Just move on to somewhere else

[vale ledge]

I figured... luckily I had a teleport, but otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get out at all. I feel so angry and disappointed. Without the teleport, I couldn't even kill myself or get out. It doesn't seem right to me how they don't patch this. It must have happened to other people too. What would they do without a teleport and without anyone to help?

[rain sundial]

you could actually end yourself though

[marble roost]

Devcommands to get out most likely, or wait for a dragon to come by and kill them

I've gotten stuck before too yeah, always just barely able to get out with the 14 or so wood i had on me though

[rain sundial]

isnt /killyourself a command just for these purposes?

[vale ledge]

It would be impossible for a dragon to kill me below the Pique Well, and there was a space further down that made it impossible for them to detect or kill me. I was lucky to have the teleportation. Is there anywhere I can send emails with suggestions for things like this? I really think it's a very serious matter.

[barren rivet]

i havent seen them as a trap bottom before, i’ve used them for bases a bunch of times theres always been stairs

[vale ledge]

I don't think it's fair to have to use commands for this; it's a serious problem that should be fixed.

[marble roost]

It's probably been suggested before, but you could always pop it in #suggestions

[vale ledge]

In my case it happened twice, and if you dig deep below the bottom of the well there's another room that condemns you to death. I'll post a picture in the group below.

I'll do it, but is this server run by the creators?

[barren rivet]

you can dig down into another room??? yes please post a pic ive never heard of this, i want one for a base now lol. and yes this is the official discord there are people very close to the devs actively here

[marble roost]

Yeah the towers have a built stone floor, but if you destroy it there's usually a little air gap before you land on solid terrain. Which leaves you a fair bit below the staircase

[barren rivet]

ohh, not like another secret room or something, but a gap i see. and you can’t mine the blocks and terrain to at least make a steep wall to run and jump out?

[marble roost]

I think you probably can, but only if you have a pickaxe. Unless maybe it's too deep to manipulate the terrain that far?

ngl I think I only ever fell into that space once around when I started playing, and since have just ignored the towers because they don't have anything

It's definitely possible to get stuck if you don't have many tools/resources on you tho

[vale ledge]

Oh my god, it's so hard to get out even with wood. I have to dig deeper into the ground, otherwise it's impossible. And just now, a wave is coming, but another one hit my house 30 minutes ago. Two waves in a row? First time, and what bad timing! Plus, a golem is coming. I have to take it well; the probability is low, and facing challenges and difficulties makes us better. I've uploaded a photo, although it's not very clear; it looks better in a video. Is there somewhere I can upload it?

[vale ledge]

That already happened to me, that's why I had a teleporter, but this time the detector told me there was something right in the center and there was nothing there...

[rain sundial]

can I skip iron wolf fenris to padded?

[marble roost]

sure

[rain sundial]

I'm currently running around with full root armour and have some flax going on....had to sneak up on a 3 star fuling berserker to get it

so is it worth making the mountain armours?

we have not beaten bonemass yet

[vale ledge]

Without a doubt, mountain armor is better than swamp armor, or wolf armor made at the forge.

[marble roost]

Is this your first playthrough or are you experienced?

If you're brave enough to run around plains and you already have flax, I'd say go kill Moder and then you can make padded

Personally I do like Fenris just for the speed tho

[rain sundial]

it's my first playthrough that's past iron
do I actually need to kill moder for padded?

[vale ledge]

yes

[subtle parrot]

/die is the death command I'm pretty sure

[rain sundial]

awh :/ I thought I could skip straight to padded before even bonemass..

[vale ledge]

The mountain wolf armor at max level is the same as the plains wolf armor at minimum level. I think it's easier than modding and all that.

[rain sundial]

but if you have linen, you should be able to make padded right?

at least that's what my friend was saying...

[vale ledge]

You need the special furnace made with modder tears; you can only get it by killing him.

[steep tusk]

Linen + Iron, yes.

[vale ledge]

I don't know if there are other ways; the special furnace is for melting metal from the plains.

[steep tusk]

Her*

[vale ledge]

Oh wow, sorry, I thought we needed new metal.

[steep tusk]

You still have to kill Moder to get the Artisan Table to process the linen.

[rain sundial]

that's unfortunate :/

i guess I'm farming in advance

[subtle parrot]

You're halfway correct. You don't need black metal but you do need the tears to make the artisan table to make the spinning wheel to make linen

[rain sundial]

is root armour enough for moder?

[steep tusk]

Depends on point of view 🤷‍♂️
I am completely in favor of boss-gating progression. But they won't ever do it so 🤷‍♂️

[steep tusk]

How good are you at dodging very slow attacks?

[rain sundial]

at 250 ms ping.. I can dodge most troll/abominable attacks
couldn't seem to parry wraiths that often and I haven't tried parrying fulings/berserkers yet

[vale ledge]

It seemed strange to me; I didn't remember it well.

[rain sundial]

but yeah I can dodge roll most attacks

[steep tusk]

Ping? 😭

[rain sundial]

playing on our guild server haha, it's located in Oregon

[steep tusk]

Is guild not going to help with boss?

[vale ledge]

I don't understand it; order is necessary, otherwise it's too difficult and you lose the gaming experience.

[steep tusk]

Define "the gaming experience"?

[vale ledge]

Experiencing a biome with its inherent difficulty, the damage from enemies, gathering materials to make food and potions, feeling the challenge of being killed if you make mistakes—if you're wearing overpowered armor and barely take any damage, where's the fun? Plus, the game has the added bonus that the more you use a weapon, the more damage it increases—more reason for me to tackle it piece by piece, don't you think?

[steep tusk]

Fun is subjective to the individual.

For reference: Scales enjoys beating the bosses in reverse order while naked.

People who are more focused on building would have little to no issue getting higher gear so they could spank their biome and just focus on what they enjoy.

[vale ledge]

Of course, everyone enjoys it in their own way; I meant that for most people, doing the bosses in reverse order is a colossal feat not possible for just anyone.

[steep tusk]

Since this is Discord:

NO! THERE IS ONLY ONE CORRECT WAY TO DO THINGS!

😏

[vale ledge]

I completely agree. I wasn't sure if, when you mentioned the order of the bosses, you meant that for a better experience for people who play in a more intuitive, linear, or traditional way—or whatever term you use—a different order of the bosses would be more suitable, if it would improve the game by making things easier or something.

from curiosity

[steep tusk]

Oh I personally want things hard-locked behind them 😂

Like, enemies shouldn't do tool damage, so you have to kill Eikthyr to mine anything.
Fix the chair/door bug so you have to kill Elder to enter crypts.
Don't let hammers do damage through the ground, so you have to kill Bonemass or get really lucky to find silver.
Moder stays.
Make the mist damage you the way the mountains give you FREEZING so you have to kill Yagluth.
Remove 80% of the random, useless spires and crank the water temp by like 5x so you have to kill Queen to reach Ashlands.

But, never happening, so 🤷‍♂️

[rain sundial]

they are yeah, at least 4 including me

but I don't wana be a burden because I decided to play with swamp tier gear

[steep tusk]

You will be more than fine.

[rain sundial]

I'm currently the one supplying the food and potions though

[vale ledge]

Oh, I understand now, thanks for explaining. I think it's fine that there are ways to get more advanced items, even if it's risky, like stealing from chests in the plains, but without using glitches. Honestly, I didn't know the chair trick for entering crypts, but I would change that. Stealing a chest in the plains or something else in the open world seems more logical to me than using a glitch to get into a place you shouldn't. But I would change the hammer trick too. The mountain cold can be removed with fire, but you still need the advanced metal pickaxe to get silver.

There's iron outside the crypts; you shouldn't need to go in with the chair, but it's hard to find outside.

[rain sundial]

really? where?

[vale ledge]

I'll post a photo in the captures group; I found it by chance. I don't know if there's any way to find out where to find it.

[subtle parrot]

Scrap piles can be found around swamps outside crypts, but they're rare

[subtle parrot]

They can be located with wishbone if I'm not mistaken but atp it's kinda moot

[vale ledge]

I imagine it could be detected with a two-handed hammer, like silver, since scrap metal seems to be closer to the surface.

That's what a friend told me, but it seems strange to me. I think it'll be easier to kill the boss and get the key.

[lapis turtle]

hello all is there a way to go back on a last save ??

iM using r2modman for my mods and i forgot it entering valheim regular way

and i have the backpack mod so entering the regular way i appeared with nothing equiped and when i noticed it went back to r2modman and didnt have my stuff

is there a wat to fix that?

[steep tusk]

#mods-discussion / #mods-issues

[marble roost]

For first playthrough I'd prob try not to skip all too much, but up to you

The difficulty/knowledge you need to skip each boss varies, but really any boss except Moder can be skipped and you can still progress just fine. You can even get (some) of the mistlands gear without killing a single boss

[rain sundial]

oh, i wasn't planning to skip bosses
just gear to ease up some fights

i was able to kill 2 star fuling berserkers with finewood bow, but the huntsman makes it way easier

[marble roost]

Well it’s still skipping them, just not permanently

[past wadi]

is there any benefit to crafting fish baits and getting different fish kinds other then fishing hat?

[last osprey]

some meads need specific fish

[past wadi]

bruh, is it possible for a swamp fish to acutally spawn in swamp?
all fish I get on swamp shores is trollfish!

[stoic trench]

Sometimes bonus resources can be caught depending on the fish you catch. Not that you must catch them with a fishing rod for a chance to get these resources.

To be clear though, these bonus resources aren’t really anything crazy spectacular.

[past wadi]

Huh, I was too excited to fish that i forgot I have harpoon now

Also, despite sailing for quite some time, I couldn't find third leviathan

And serpents turned out to be quite easy.
At least in terms of meat ...

[jolly tapir]

I got stuck in one bc a rock was in the way of the stairs but I was able to mine it away. So sorry man the helpless frustration is sooo annoying!

[compact heath]

Not crazy spectacular? You can get Iron, Onion Seeds, Barley, Silver etc. without killing certain bosses or visiting Fuling Villages and other POI very very reliably from the fishing.

[stoic trench]

Yeah, I mean there’s some cool stuff for sure! But I just wouldn’t particularly recommend going for those resources via fishing as my first pick, if that makes sense.

Hmm but also remember, gotta have the relevant bait for some of those things, which requires the relevant trophy. For example, to get silver you need frosty bait (drake trophy) and requires fishing for salmon in the deep north, which may prove troublesome in practice 🤔

Onion seeds are a cool one though- using heavy bait (serpent trophy) can get you coral cod in the ocean. Pretty neat!

[rose relic]

whats the best place to get mods for valheim

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[final meadow]

Does crafting, specificaly crafting bronze ingots, occasionaly produce extra output?

[quasi vault]

Yes and the crafting skill increase the odds for it to happen

[final meadow]

Nice.

[final meadow]

Is it realistic to dig a navagable canal through a narrow strech of terrain?

[subtle parrot]

As long as the terrain is low enough, as you can't dig down more than 8m from the original position of the ground

[final meadow]

OK. That will work. It's nearly underwater as it is.

[humble topaz]

I am here for any talk, free of a server regulation

[past wadi]

no way I found 3rd egg before ever encountering silver vein or cave or golem...

[zinc crater]

it happens

[past wadi]

I found 4th one... but
thankfully, the next time I heard beeping it was vein
thouhg, half of it isinside giant rock (

was thinking Iam doing something wrong

[tacit breach]

Far too frequently I find silver at least partially embedded in large rocks. Eggs too. Very irritating.

[glacial spindle]

So level 3 carapace buckler doesnt block the morgens attack and the charred berserker?

[tired root]

Block or parry? Parrying should be easy

[tropic current]

Anyone care to take a look at my problem with loading in plugins on my server?

Yes I've consulted the help of Ai before coming here

[glacial spindle]

It doesnt parry i think and i get stugger when the morgen does its swipe attack

same goes to charred berserker with its gs

[sweet crescent]

does barely wine overide root armor weakness?

[zinc crater]

Are you using bigger health food items?

[glacial spindle]

Not yet, but now have i unlocked the bigger foods from ashlands, piquant pie, roasted crusted pie, then probadly eat it with misthare supreme

[marble roost]

Yes. That is, instead of taking 50% extra damage, you take 50% less than normal

[sick nebula]

does anyone know if upgrading the trollstav increase the strength of the trolls?

[zinc crater]

Shouldn't, should just increase staff durability

[tacit breach]

Skill might. Its what usually effects weapon damage. So probably similar for staves.

[sick nebula]

does the same apply to the staff of protection?

as in upgrading it only increases durability

[marble roost]

For that one it ups durability and the amount of time the bubble is active (1 min, 2, 3, 4)

Some people actually prefer the shorter duration, because it's annoying to have your shield be damaged and then wait for it to expire before casting a new one (recasting a shield when one is active only refreshes the duration, it doesn't heal the shield up if it's been damaged)

[sick nebula]

ok thanks for the tips

[final meadow]

Do all four boats have the same draft? That is, are there places too shallow for the Karve, but ok for the raft?

[thorn spire]

Pretty sure not. I can sail a Karve in places the longboat would bottom out.

[final meadow]

Damn. I'm trying to dig the greyling canal through a narrow bit of land, and it's slow work. Gonna be slower still if I have to dig down to swimming in each spot.

[somber nacelle]

the first time the ground started shaking i lost half my house

[hushed sigil]

Trying to build a docks but I’m not sure how high above the waterline the bigger boats will be. Does anyone know in terms of say corewood or something?

In order for someone to hop on and off of the side of the larger boats I mean

Hmm the internet says mixed reports but maybe 1.5m - which is a corewood length and a half right?

[cerulean socket]

I believe the shortest corewood pole is 2m

[hushed sigil]

Oh thanks!

[waxen field]

Are the bombs you can make from the Ashlands able to break copper ore deposit?

[compact heath]

I don't know, the smoke and the basalt I don't think but the other ones I'm not sure, I just use the troll impact, gets you the full node in one hit

[waxen field]

It's sometimes really inconsistent where the meteor lands tho

Like I could aim down and it would just fly a different direction

[waxen atlas]

Good afternoon, has anyone encountered the problem of deer giving birth to the same meat as wild boars?

[tired notch]

giving birth?
Also, no I have not

[waxen atlas]

According to the wiki, they should drop venison, but for some reason, this doesn't happen in my world

[tired notch]

Are Deers dropping Boar meat as opposed to Deer meat?

[waxen atlas]

Yes

I can show you a screenshot, but I don't think you can attach them here.

[tired notch]

You can send it in #screenshots

[waxen atlas]

#screenshots message

Am I right in thinking that this shouldn't be the case?

[tacit breach]

Yeah, thats crazy.

Never seen that particular problem before.

If your not using mods, have you restarted the game to see if it some how corrects itself?

[waxen atlas]

It seems like a minor mistake, but it will be impossible to create so many dishes...

Deer meat does make some important hit point dishes.

[waxen atlas]

The world has been around for quite a while, and I don't use mods. No player on the server has ever dropped deer meat yet.

[tacit breach]

Is this a paid server?

[waxen atlas]

No, a regular server on the local network

[tacit breach]

Well, unless a complete restart some how clears it, I have no idea how to correct this. You may want to report this as a bug in the help channels for bugs for whichever platform your using.

Like if your server is on Steam #steam-bugs-discussion

[civic heron]

There is an abomination camping my portal I jumped away but will the game reset him at some point back into the ground which is a little ways away

[tacit breach]

It may walk some distance away, but it won't go back in the ground.

[civic heron]

ugh okay

[tacit breach]

What is your portal on?

[civic heron]

just a little spit of land in the water just off shore

[tacit breach]

Oh, so far from an ideal safe spot.

[civic heron]

yeah

its like a 5x5 lol

[tacit breach]

Get it to chase you to a fallen ancient tree. If you get high enough it won't be able to hit you. Other mobs might be able to get to you. Unless you go past a branch that blocks them too.

[civic heron]

okay I'll do my best it really isnt so much the abomination just can't kill it with everything else gunning for me too isnt the best place to run around

[tacit breach]

Yeah, gotta stay out of that deep water.

question

[vagrant bobcat]

answer

[peak hazel]

hey all, can someone please log in with me? I died near a draugr spawner and cannot kill the spawner or recover, getting my ass kicked indefinitely.

how does it work, do I join a server? oh my god... I need to be on a server, don't I? I'm just playing on my own game.

[peak hazel]

thanks a ton @near stirrup

I don't even know what a draugr spawner looks like, tried to snipe it, but kept saying "0 damage"

Hey all, does anyone use this Heart of the Forest trinket thing? Perks seem kinda stingy, just taking up inv space..

[rain sundial]

i cant seem to craft advanced fishbaits

in a crafting bench

[ocean shoal]

they are from food processing station thing

[rain sundial]

got it thank you

fishing is difficult
how does it work? its not taking my bait at all

trollfish

im using the troll bait as well

[zinc crater]

Multiple things, fishing requires you to use the right bait, in the right biomes to catch the corresponding fish

Fishing uses tons of stamina and at low levels can take quite a while before fish more consistently hook onto your fishing rod

I'd also suggest finding little ponds or lakes that seem to have a surplus of fish that you're looking for as they'll almost always have more fish available too

[ocean shoal]

i suggest start in meadows fish

you need a lot of stamina so eat the right 3 foods that you got

if you ran out of stam your fish gotted away, you can walk around and position the pole to drag the fish, when it looks lazy right click to reel it in, when you got it close enough you can bring it mid air or onto land, then pick up the fish

also fishing is a Stat skill so you can make it go up in meadows for less stam drain

[tired root]

Having the line as short as possible is better, 4m from shore for example. You can pause reeling when you have the fish caught, you won't use stamina while pausing (but won't regen either). Reeling uses more stamina when fish struggles, so pausing is good idea when you see fish wiggling. Stamina meads can help too, you can drink one while fish is caught.

[tacit breach]

I find it best to fish from a boat or a dock you put right at water level, and put your line in as close to your feet as possible. I find fishing to be pretty easy. Like I catch lvl 5 pike with a 8 skill kind of easy.

[tired root]

Hmm yeah, Karve trick works really well.

[tacit breach]

With the bait so close to my feet I catch fish with just one stamina food, such as carrot soup or turnip stew. Including the lvl 5 pike.

Of course those I "catch" by hand, by putting my cursor on it and clicking as soon as I start getting it out of the water.

My wife taught me that little trick.

[rain sundial]

thank you all for the tips
i tried everything, but im struggling with the timing to reel in since i dont see the fish stop struggling and when i do stop it just gets away
managed to get 4 troll fish though by running back to shore

[tacit breach]

Just put it as close to you as possible when you want to actually catch stuff. Of course reeling the line in gets you more XP for the skill.

[subtle parrot]

If you don't care too much about fishing to raise the skill, what i do is find a nice bit of shore to fish off of and when something gets hooked just walked backwards dragging it out of the water. Just gotta be careful not to let the line get caught or the fish to get stuck on a rock or something or it will break the line

[rain sundial]

that's what I've been doing..it is quite slow though
and I definitely do care about fishing, I always fish in every game I play

[subtle parrot]

Right well, that's fair, if you wanna raise the skill asap just cast far out and reel in, you don't need a fish on the line to gain xp

[rain sundial]

no wonder I'm almost level 20 without any fish

[tacit breach]

Like I keep saying, the key is to get it as close to your feet as possible. So you have to reel in the fish for the shortest distance possible.

Then keep your cursor on it and click on it once its coming out of the water. You'll be catching size 4 and 5 fish with an 8 skill in no time.

[past wadi]

why is silver knife gaining sooooooo little from upgrades?

[drowsy crane]

All knives operate this way with upgrades, they're upgraded carefully because their backstab is so incredible. Their secondary attacks also gain significant damage.

[past wadi]

Carefully? To not break the game?

Is there a way to set world save at higher frequency?
Aka not every 30 minutes, but 10, 5?

[drowsy crane]

Yes!

[rain sundial]

probably an alarm so u can manually save every 5 mins, i think the minimum is 15

might be just the server setting though

[past wadi]

Alarm does not fit the answer

[steep ore]

Hey all, i was hoping someone would be able to help me, does anyone know the manifest number for the 0.221.10 patch, for some reason i am having issues downloading it. I can upgrade to the 0.221.12 and downgrade to the 0.221.4 but just cant seem to get the 0.221.10, any help would be greatly appreciated

[subtle parrot]

Are you on the ptb? I don't think the ptb should have anything but the 221.4 patch, but if you are on the ptb opt out of the ptb so you're on the live branch

If you're on xbox you'll need to restart your xbox after leaving the ptb

[coarse mural]

hello, is using dev command will stop me getting my achievements? i only use the GOD mode AND FREE FLY to find my main base. its been to long since i played i forgot the portal name.

[frosty frost]

Devcommands will most likely prevent that character from being able to gain achievements, yes.

[steep forge]

can anyone tell me what craft station I need for stone structures?

[frosty frost]

Stone cutter, availible once you progress to third biome 🙂

[steep forge]

oh. So ||Mountains|| then? What resources are needed for stonecutter?

[true steeple]

swamp is third and you need iron

[frosty frost]

3rd biome is swamp 🙂

[steep forge]

oh.

[steep forge]

When do get portals?

[frosty frost]

Black forest

[steep forge]

oh? What resource? Me has no portl.

[frosty frost]

Did you explore the dungeons there and begun smelting metals?

[steep forge]

ya. Got bronze

[frosty frost]

And di you cut the trees you couldnt before? 😄

[steep forge]

Might be because I am running some mods.

OH

Fine wood?

[frosty frost]

Yep

[steep forge]

alright, thanks for that!

[frosty frost]

You need only finewood, greydwarf eyes and surtling cores, but the mods might be messing something up

[steep forge]

I only have Corewood and Normal wood rn. Haven't got finewood yet. I'll work on finewood now

[tiny gulch]

Is it worth finding a single location early game and settling down there as the main base or should I hold off till a certain point ingame? if so...at what point is best?

[tacit breach]

Personally, my last couple of play throughs, I do a minimal base until I find a good Druegr base to restore and use in a Meadows.

[thorn spire]

Find a location near a 2* boar and build your base around the pen.

[stone plume]

anyone ever had any issues with Mistlands causing a big FPS Drop when youre there?

like, down to 60s-70s fps.

[steady silo]

Build a small comfortable base at the start so you can progress the first 2 biomes, since that's always close to the world center, and then be prepared to move out in search of better lands. Moving home around isn't really that big of an issue in my opinion

[last osprey]

You can build your main base wherever you want. Some locations have minor advantages over others (like black forests giving you a constant supply of greydwarf eyes or swamps spawning wisps all day) but unless you're playing no portal the choice is mostly cosmetic as long as you have a clear shot to the ocean to sail your metals in.

[hollow jackal]

how can a lv2 wolf oneshot me when blocking with an iron buckler and wearing full fenris armour?

[static heart]

Hi all! My character is synced with Steam Cloud as I have both a laptop and desktop I like to play on. Today I logon and my character isn't wearing any clothes. I haven't entered the world with him yet, this is just what I am seeing in the character selection screen. What are my options?

[tacit breach]

Was the last thing you did involve dying?

[static heart]

Oh my god, you're right, I'm dumb.

Now that you mention it, yes.

[tacit breach]

Good luck on recovering stuff.

[static heart]

To be fair, usually seeing a nude character for me means I opened a modded character in vanilla and broke everything. I was confused as this was a fully vanilla character. But you're right, that's exactly what happened, but I had to rush off the PC. THANK YOU! LOL

[subtle parrot]

It's likely due to a dungeon loading in

[vocal prairie]

Is there a way to snap roundpole fences together?

[tired root]

No, there is not.

[vocal prairie]

Is there another fence type that will?

[tired root]

Stakewall will snap together.

Also it provides cover from sight of enemy mobs, which roundpole fences don't.

[vocal prairie]

I’m just looking for something to surround my crops with

[tired root]

Stakewall works well for that.

You want to keep them safe.

[somber nacelle]

is looting caves a good source of coins?

[undone monolith]

Yeah. And make sure to take the other valuables (amber, ruby etc) from there too, so you can sell them to vendors later to have even more coins.

[narrow python]

my chosen base spot has a few raspberry bushes, but I need to raise the terrain higher there. If I raise terrain under them, will they get raised with it? And will they continue producing berries when in range of workbench?
