Best to ask in mod channels, such as #mods-discussion
There's an offering altar in the hollow trees ? Don't believe so. Just ore and potions in there
yea there is cant share screen shot ill ask mods
I use the mod but have yet to find any hollow trees
There are plenty. Evident by the darkening in black forest
does the sword secondary do piercing attack?
Slash.
ah..was hoping i can do more damage to yagluth with the vile set
since i use silver sword...maybe frostner it is
Despite the animation looking like it would, weapons deal only the damage listed in their stats.
unfortunate, however the porcupine is probably an amazing weapon for the vile set
Also, in case of Yagluth, ||he is very resistant to pierce||.
It is, as it benefits for both pierce and blunt damage bonuses.
oh x.x
Both options are solid, but silver sword deals highest damage due to higher spirit damage.
Whichever you have higher skill level use the higher option.
ah, fantastic
im a little worried about using the vile set, hopefully boss dies before bonemass power runs out
As long as not getting hit or using shield to block the slight weaknesses don't matter that much, they matter only if you take direct hits.
ah
since vile set gives pierce damage, does it apply to bows?
It affects to all weapons that deal that damage type.
Atgeirs, spears, bows, knives, Porcupine.
Also, if the slight weaknesses worry you, then replacing one piece with any other takes away the weaknesses (plus also bonuses), like using heavy armor helmet. That way you have moderately good armor rate and no movement speed penalty.
ah..
Even tho porcupine does some pierce, would it still be at all valid against yagluth?
I too use mainly my lvl 3 silver sword lol
More than half of its dmg from 2lvl on is pierce, so it really is not great for him unfortunately
He is ||very resistant|| to pierce.
Rip ;-; thanks again!
You can still use it ofcourse π
There is no rule saying you have to use the best-in-this-particular-case weapon for each situation π
I know I just want to be geared up best I can be xD
can the beginner's axe function for both melee and woodcutting
Yes
and it's at least decent at both, right? are there more specialized woodcutters worse for combat?
Not really, just better axes
even battle axes can be used for woodcutting?
Yes
alright that's what i wanted to know. thanks
battleaxes are very nice for chopping down trees that are close together
If only the ice staff could be used to shred the base of trees.

is there anyway to reduce the jitter on the karve in a dedicated server?
so theres a mistlands biome right behind the yagluth spawn and there's hares and yggdrasil shoots
can these help me against yagluth better than the current plains food?
(serpent stew blood pudding lox pie)
Hi, i'm sorry to bother but this issue has been getting me and my girlfriend so frustrated lately:
I'm getting disconnected so often, and sadly i tried almost everything in my powers to avoid the disconnection issue.
Yet, i get disconnected when she hosts the server, and when i host the server she gets disconnected.
How can we solve this issue?
The hammers are part of the club skill, and are very useful in combat. Picks can be used, but are not meant for combat.
The hares make a better food, but your cooking station will need to be improved in order to start making them.
so there aren't dual purpose war/mining picks?
Nope. There is only one creature where picks are useful for fighting it. Golems.
i see. thank you
So you have done the usual, made sure your drivers are all up to date, you both have the most recent steam platform, etc...?
Exactly π
I have a wifi connection but we've been playing together for 200+ hours without any issue, i can't understand why it started creating this issue all of sudden. My internet bandwidth is proper even if its not high, and i can even stream on discord and play other games together without issues. So i can't understand, really.
I've even tried connecting to her server by using MAIUSC+TAB on Steam and joining her lobby in that way.
So you are also in the same room when you play?
Nope, she's living some kilometers away
But i will repeat that this issue hasn't been on for the first 200+ hours of game, and now it wont let us connect since 2 damn months
OK, just making sure your not playing like my wife and I do. IE in the same room.
No worries, i hope you two are being fine about this at least π
We are having no problems.
OK, have you googled connectivity problems for Steam servers? There are numerous guides for troubleshooting if you have not.
Nope i haven't actually, i'll look straight into it right now and be right back here when i'm done
I just googled it myself. π
May i get some assistance in this? If you can send me a proper guide for troubleshooting.
I just googled it myself, so I am not sure what would be a proper guide. I'd just look for one from Steam/Valve itself.
Solved the issue, removed the crossplay when starting the server and joined via Steam, this seems like being the only way for connecting. Valheim has serious issues about this.
What were you doing beforehand if I may ask?
Its always been how my wife and I connect. Neither of us use a console to play. So cross play has never been needed.
can anyone give advice on undermining? i'm trying it with silver and it only works sometimes
do you have to mine the stone very far away from the vein for it to work?
Try to mine it bit further away from the deposit, yep π
Also be sure to dig as deep under it as you are able π
Having a nice outline of the node made by the snow underneath is a good indicator. Plus mine every bit of stone out of the area outlined. The only time I have trouble with stone from the sides is when rock was embedded in the node in the first place.
And it serves as a good pit for taming 2 star wolves
Need roughly 2m clearance around/ below the entire vein
You get that by creating the outline with the snow.
True. Also if you ever find 2 veins tangled together, mine the overlapping part to pop both at once.
oh boy I hope i do that sounds amazing
I found three one time. I was jumping from joy
I've been finding doubles rather often in recent play throughs. Don't recall finding a triple.
what are hammers used for besides as weapons?
The wooden hammer and stagbreaker can be used to locate silver if you dont have wishbone yet π
Also crafting π
Heh, true that xD
That particular hammer is probably the most usefull thing in the whole game
what's my first accessible two handed weapon?
stagbreaker
early axes
Heh, true π
Items crafted from needed boss drop items (wishbone, swamp key) will trigger player progression and advance your raids, im pretty sure?
If player-based raid are not turned on then just killing the bosses will trigger it π
Thank you i have been confused by player based raids recently
Yw 
Why does this keep happening to me π I try to go thru my portal, I accidentally tap the name, but I don't do anything with it I just hit cancel. But even tho the portal name is EXACTLY the same, the portal won't activate again. Even if I manually change it to the right name, it still is ornery and refuses to connect. It's happened twice now. Why??
I have seen this happen before, I think I just reloaded to fix it.
Is there a website where I can see and build the community-made builds for Valheim? Just like in Minecraft, showing step-by-step construction.
Like youtube?
Other than people building on YouTube or something like that, i don't think so
I was looking for something outside of YouTube, but I couldnβt find it.
Pretty sure there's nothing like that for Valheim.
okey thank you
No problem
anybody know the ID for the huge spiky rocks in the ashlands water?
You can usually find such ID's on the dev command wiki.
I've checked online and I just can't seem to find them
Well, hopefully someone far more knowledgeable about using dev commands than I will come along and say what it is.
Will try to look into it π
you're my hero
Hey I need help. So I was trying to use commands on my server like give and whatnot but it says theres no context or something like that. I turned on DevCommands and started my game with -console but it doesnt work on my dedicated server. Is there a way to fix this or is this a bug with the game?
cliff_ashlands4
Thank you!! It's enormous
I assume the smaller ones are also just cliff_ashlands with whatever number following?
oh nevermind, it seems to have shrunken
I would think they are just deeper
Yeah if you spawn it in the air it will fall after a while π
thanks much man you've saved a big part of a building project
Console commands cannot be used in dedicated servers.
Technically it is running by some else host.
Well yeah but you can set yourself as admin and stuff
True, but despite that devcommands cannot be used in dedicated servers.
IIRC admin commands can be used.
Damn looks like I gotta use that mod
you can use a mod to change that #mods-discussion
Hey thanks guys I appreciate the help
its not really a problem that the base game doesn't have that functionality imo
should i get a setup good enough that i can play optimally and consistently avoid getting hit
is this game like mmos where standing in one place and spamming attack is a viable strat, provided you heal periodically
i can tell that with a good setup and some learned skill i can stunlock enemies and play dark souls footsies so their attacks don't land
Can I activate world modifiers for one session only? Or do they persist forever once loaded?
but i can't do that with my current setup and am wondering if what i currently have could be good enough
They'll persist until you change them again
OK, thanks!
What's your current gear setup?
gaming laptop with sticky input, at one end,
Oh sorry i thought you meant like in game armor and stuff
the keys don't stick but the action persists even after the button's been depressed
Idk anything about pc setup lol
pressing the opposing button doesnt make it stop sticking, i think it needs a better motherboard
i just got the starter axe, it chops down schmucks pretty well
much better than punching them to their demise
and i have some raspberries
i'm not sure how to discern how much health i'm missing but i can't eat more raspberries
You can eat up to 3 different foods, if you find some red mushrooms, mark them on the map along with the berries so you can come back and forage again after a few in game days to keep a stockpile of them. As you progress you'll be able to make substantially better foods for much higher hp and stamina.
Foods will become very important starting in the next biome
Also starting out there are 3 categories of foods, health, stamina, and balanced. Kill a boar and cook it's meat over a fire and you'll get a hp food (higher health, lower stamina), raspberries are stamina foods and red mushrooms are balanced (equal hp and stam)
The higher your stamina the more activities (dodge attack etc) you can do, and more hp equals more tank
Does frost magic literally havd no effect on drakes? I'm firing right at it and nothing
They are immune to frost.
Pretty sure they're immune to frost being that they shoot frost out of their faces
Pick literally anything else to shoot at them, unless you want to level elemental magic.
Even then, I'd recommend trapping a golem in a hole and shooting him instead.
Is there any way to get the "level ground" function to actualy level the ground?
It levels from your feet, if that helps. So where your standing is really important.
Sometimes you'll run into dips or bumps that you'll have to either fill in with the hoe or pick down and then reflatten those spots. As well there is a limitation to how high or low you can terraform that ground.
@tacit breach do you have an opinion on this
Right. It fills in some creveces, but not other. Flattens some humps, but not others. Sometimes flattens to the level of my feet, but sometimes not.
I might if I ever played Dark Souls. Sorry, I have no comparison.
what about wow/starcraft/runescape?
Sounds like switching it up with the Cultivator may help you out too.
I've played WoW and Starcraft, well over a decade ago.
can you stand in one place pressing attack like it's WoW?
in valheim
Like i said use the hoe to fill in the dips then reflatten, the hoe has more than just the level ground function. If you find a bump, hit it with the pickaxe, and then use the level ground function again on that spot.
If the ground isn't leveling up to the height you want, as well you'll have to use the raise ground function of the hoe and then switch back to leveling after you've raised the ground up.
Only when my shield is being effective, but otherwise, no. You are better off moving.
I didn't know there was "immunity" I assumed they'd be resistant. Swamp stuff are not immune to poison damage lol
That is fair lol
Blobs may actually be immune, but I have never hit them with poison effects anyways.
Listen to the bird.
Expect the first bird when the bell tolls one!
Wait, wrong movie. Sorry.
No, but campfire does.
how does one accquire such a campfire
ok i got it
a log fell on me and i died
didnt know the game was realistic to that point
does anyone have a fix for my Server lagging for all my friends?
i tried turning on console commands and removingdrops if that would affect it at all, it didnt.
i have just a normal server on PC Steam playing with an average of 6 friends for the last few nights now, they say they are all getting very bad server lag/delay, often worse during raids, but also just in general all the time
stuck on trying to add a roof to my workbench
ok now i need to get the infection out the shelter
Infection?
People in #dedicated-server would know the most tbh.
the thing infecting the shelter yeah
Huh?
A beehive?
yeah that
i cant destroy it
this is pissing me off dude im eating and not gaining healthj
makes bed
bed must be under roof
puts bed under roof
bed must be near a fire
attempts to put campfire under a roof
cant
put your campfire outside. It doesn't need to be under a roof unless it's raining.
is there a way to go back to where u died other than walking there?
eventually, not early game.
the poison does too much damage for me to be able to destroy the hive
once you defeat the first boss and get into second biome, you'll have materials that will help you move around.
okay. go get some food somewhere else, along with ten wood.
the food i use isnt healing me at all, im using cooked boar meat
put down a workbench nearby and use your hammer to destroy all the parts of the hut around the beehive. You should be able to get within hammer range and still stay out of range of the bees.
Without support, the beehive will collapse like any other 'structure'
ok thats done
you can eat three kinds of food. make sure you have all three up and you'll heal faster. being rested helps that too.
Does it show you're rested in your effects?
it does not, is there a more efficient way to get wood?
the most efficient way to collect wood is using an axe to cut trees.
Find some flint near shore/rivers in the meadows.
You can, however, break beech saplings with any weapon or even your fists.
"the crafting station need a roof" , whats that about
You need to enclose it and cover it.
not totally enclose it. just 3 sides.
Usually a wall piece on each side, then a roof over it is enough.
True. 3 sides. You can leave it open to access it. π
Some times it gets so picky it makes me fully enclose its sides.
i wish i could send images
You can, in screenshots.
Its probably not happy about the side to the right.
Otherwise, I am not sure why its giving you a hard time. Maybe repair all the surrounding pieces?
@magic vault You've got floor pieces above it. Floor does not count as roof.
He does? That would be the problem if he does.
is there a way to break the ward without angering the dverger?
Yes but it's a bit convoluted and cheesy.|| You can put down a workbench outside the area of the ward and build a cart. Then smash the cart against the ward repeatedly to break it.||
You can also attempt to kite enemies in to break it for you, although the dverger will obviously try to kill them. Seeker soldiers are great for this. stand on the ward and jump when they headbut you.
Kill them first. Then they won't be angry when you break the ward.
Or have them killed by attracting things to do it.
I recommend pushing all fire mages outside of the tower before you do that, though.
Ah yes I have complete confidence my solo self can defeat 6 dverger all at the same time π π
I believe in you.
I like using soldiers the most. Especially if they are starred. Just if there are fire mages inside, expect a lot to get destroyed.
Which is fine, if you have no interest in using the tower. Just I normally make use of them.
I am mining black marble I want to use the hammer to tear the tower down lol
Gotcha π
is this your first time at one of the dvergr POIs?
No? I've been to a dozen and with another player taken some down. I just saw someone in this server ask if the dverger should bother him breaking their crates if the ward is gone, so I was curious how you could get the ward gone without agroing them
I find using a few eitr to be the easiest. IE just throw them down around it and leave for a while.
i found a reaper standing in balck forest
what is it ?? when i go near it disappeared
It's your employer who tasked you to defeat Forsaken.
what ??
Aka Allfather Odin.
it disappeared
Yes, he does that.
so whats the use ?
it didnt give any task tho
He just checks your progression from distance.
According to game lore Odin tasked us vikings to slain Forsaken in Valheim, the 10th world.
Which makes him our "employer".
ohhh
He doesn't give other tasks in game.
so its just rare appearance kinda
Yes, after defeating Elder he might appear during night.
oh
man i lost my 100 iron nails when i destroyed my boat. anyway to destroy a boat without losing the mats?
if the water isnt too deep, you can jump from high place and you will dive for them if you aim right
idk, they literally disappeared nobody could find the nails
or if you play modded you can install UnderTheSea and it allows underwater swimming so you can search better
when deep north?
When it is ready.
hope not in september
Why?
anyone know why my couldron recipes wouldnt be appearing? i have a couldron, thistle, and draugr entrails along with a ton of other stuff but I only have boar jerkey and queens jam recipe
Turnip.
just better when the holidays
???
aight thanks
Joel
Seek for turnip seeds, turnips (and carrots from black forest) are required for cauldron upgrade which unlocks better foods using swamp materials.
I saw few builds online having roof which looks like dragon scale ( black ) how to unlock that ?
Plains material.
Oh
You will unlock new roof type later.
Plains is 5th biome.
Plains are really tough for me
Mountain is 4th.
Ohhh
Explains. 
Meadows - Wood
BF - Corewood, Finewood
Swamp - Ironwood, Stone, Iron
Mountain - ||Crystal||
Plains - ||Tar||
Mistlands - ||Black Marble, Copper||
Ashlands - ||Ashwood, Grausten||
What is iron wood ?
I didn't
Iron wood poles.
Swamp material.
Didn't found that tho
Did you find iron?
I am currently in swamp got alot of irons
Then you already unlocked it.
Hammer -> heavy building section.
Wood + Iron = beams with the highest structural value in the game.
Ohh those iron and wood beams
Got it
Turnip ??? I didn't got that in whole black forest
Turnip seeds are found in swamps and carrot seeds in black forest.
Oh
Have you found carrots?
Then you might find similar looking seed flowers in swamps but yellow which gives turnip seeds.
There is https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 for that purpose.
Lfg stands for "looking for group" which includes looking for friend.
Hmmm
U can talk to someone in #valheim-chat become his/her friend and then start playing
There are usually many new players' posts in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 looking for someone to play with. So you might want to look up for them and/or optionally you can also make your own post.
It's dedicated channel for people who are looking for others to play with, either with singular persons or groups.
Hello I am new to the chat and requesting assistance for setting up a dedicated server on a TerraMaster F2β425.
https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 is where you find dedicated people to help you. π
thank you sorry
No worries. 
hmm so island base building is bad choce ?
as water coming inside my base
when its thunderstorm or raining
Island building isnβt a bad choice but make sure you have some elevation from sea level
then i will be low in space for farm
When picking permanent build spot, always wait for storm so you can see how high you need to build.
i have no idea about it to build on height building on island first time
and little confused
Yes, this is a "well now you know" instance unfortunately.
You're telling me you don't want a swimming pool in your house when it storms?
true
that swimming pool destroyed my campfire
i have 2 island nearby can i connect them by making a little long bridge
basically can i build inside water ??? i cant send images here to show the distance
You can, if you can get the snap points to cooperate. Easier now than it used to be! But still an issue sometimes
Ok nevermind, that goes in #mods-screenshots @hexed escarp
Sorry for saying wrong channel the first time.
ohh
Yeah, you're on modded. So your screenshots belong in the other one. Just how it goes π€·ββοΈ
Yβknow I didnβt even see the ui at first Iβm like βwhat is Sev on about this time?β 
Get thine eyes checked. π
sev on ??
Mine eyes are hale and whole, βTis the rest of me that is royally beleaguered
She's played on modded for so long she has forgotten what vanilla looks like.
lmao
Itβs true even if my ui doesnβt even look like his
I was looking at the island and the water! Yβknow, the things he was talking about! π€£
its not much modded but yeah some of the players on this server are like we are speed runner we like to have mods on not game changing but useful ones
#mods-screenshots message check now
Iβd say wait until daylight and after the storm passes but it should be doable
I swear, every time I start building a large project, the storm clouds roll in like Thor takes offense to my building hammer 
There is no much v little.
It is yes v no.
π€·ββοΈ
for real it happens with me also
Yeah it looks like thereβs a shallower bit connecting the two that you could follow. I see you have troll armor; do you have corewood yet?
yeah
Awesome π€ Use the longer beams and youβll be golden
eventually i found the best island of the server as its covered with all starting 5 biomes of the game
what's the new player's first 2 handed axe?
Wooden Battleaxe (horrible)
Iron Battleaxe being the first real one.
is there a stone battleaxe?
No. Iron is first.
You asked. I answered with the literal answer.
Did you think I lied? π
i thought maybe you were speaking in hyperbole and there was a rather bad stone battleaxe
No. Just iron and the wooden training one that does literal 1 damage per swing.
@glad current elevating is so hard i am keep getting out of rocks
is there any good way of mining rocks ??
Copper.
The thing is, craftable battleaxe is available in 3rd biome, but the wooden battleaxe may be found in 4th biome.
Copper gives you an assload of stone, so it is dual-purpose mining.
ohh
So you can make the base of your asspire?
π
is the hammer useable as a weapon
Which hammer? π
Building hammer? Not directly. Stagbreaker? Quite good early AoE and crowd control.
Frostner would be better as a hammer π
crafting hammer
Yeah, not directly then.
@glad current give me this and I will consider joining you in #mods-discussion π
Then no π unnless you count building spikes in the path of an enemy as using it as a weapon π
Hammer is the weapon if you play Valheim like Fortnite π
Iβm not in there but ok? I donβt use Frostner
is there a set of one-handed hammer weapons
oh it's all just clubs
That would start with wooden club.
nevermind carry on sorry
For 3 biomes. Then they become horrible due to scaling.
Remove scaling = amazing weapon.
Sev, dont tell people something is bad simply based on your preferences
The opposite of both of those are true lol
π
What is your position on chocolate-covered fruits? π
It entirely depends on the fruit
If it's dark chocolate, yes
Not a fan of milk chocolate
I say, inserting myself in a conversation that in no way involved me XD
Tomatoes π
A man of culture π
My broken little brain is now convinced we need to try chocolate-covered tomatoes for Scienceβ’
I will let you do it lol
"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."
Tomatoes and chocolate? Mole comes to mind. You can combine a lot of things if it's done properly
Start talking about things in moles and Scales will show up π¬
ufff can someone please tell me easier way to get stone
i was mining copper its good but i feel like i am wasting copper alot as i cant tp with those and also mining copper nodes are still boring kinda
mountain
i cant go mountain rn its freezing for me
ahh. there are the big pickable rocks that look like copper veins but are just stone in the black forest
you could test making a home in one
i even tried luring troll but still finding troll is a big task
a lot of people dont, but i think a copper pickaxe makes life a lot easier if you arent speed running
just go titan mode
I hate fixing stuff, I get the broze and upgrade the iron pickaxe when I get there
if you arenβt even at mountains yet dont worry about building giant mega base of stone, just keep progressing for now. then you can mine mountains/silver or better yet when you hit plains there are massive towers or stone everywhere.
plains
If you're trying to build for looks, there's going to be a lot of boring grind.
So keep that in your mind when deciding how you're building.
mark stone ruins and towers on the map when you explore. When you need stone come back with a stonecutter and a portal. Much easier than mining it yourself until you get a trollstav and lava blob bombs
They mentioned they're not even up to mountains yet.
I was referring to the dude saying use trollstav
Drastically overkill for stone, amd also why do you even need stone in ashlands, your base should be built by now, or you should be using better stone for ashlands building purposes
Well, some people just like building whatever comes to their mind π being in late game doesent mean you cant build new stuff with older materials
The magic of Valheim (and other sandbox games) is that you can do anything you want, and you don't necessarily need to only progress through the main game line.
I enjoy building outpost bases in every biome. My plains one is a stone castle, my swamp one is a good old wood tree house, and my mist and mountain one is rock and black marble bits
what armour combo for swamps?
If you can get it as soon as possible, the root harnesk is really good as it's peirce resistant. You will need to kill some abominations tho, I recommend fire arrows and campfires. If you stand on top of a crypt or a invincible root they can't hit you
If you want bronze leggings might give you extra protection. But any leggings are okay. If you can do the full root armor go for that
For entering swamp I'd go with either full bear or bear chest/legs and bronze helmet
But bear armor is weak to peirce and slash. If you're expieranced, then sure, anything will work but if it's their first time in the swamp bear armor is not gonna help then. They'll be vulnerable to everything in the swamp
Okay so substitute the bear head for bronze and no such issue
ok nice one but once i have lots of iron etc and killed a few abominations what should i go for?
I like Troll armor when first entering plains, you can stealth away a bit easier if you aren't looking to fight right away.
I mean it's technically personal preference. Iron armor is good protection, but it's pretty heavy. The root armor will help you out later in Plains but by then you could also have silver/wolf armor. So if you want to tank, iron armor is alright, but if you do a bit of everything a combo of say iron greaves, helmet, and root chest might be okay? I kind of skipped iron and wolf armor in my run and just kept root for a while but it's up to you!
ok cheers mate
Hey all, does anyone know about ZDO issues? We are having an issue where one person SUDDENLY despite having good internet, has a really low "sent" amount of ZDO, and it flatlines and refuses to let him play.
Hey me and my friend made the main base on a small island between two larger meadow islands, it takes like 1min of boat time to get to any bigger island and we have placed crafting stations, campfires and buildings there and yet there are still greylings, deers and boars spawning on the island.
They actually stopped spawning on the island once we covered the whole island with stone, encased it and build walls around it but now they are just spawning outside the walls and we wanted to build a port or a dock for the ships but when we have even a small opening, greylings and other meadows creatures get inside via that small opening.
We believe because the mobs have nowhere to spawn they just kinda spawn anywhere they can (which is outside into the water of our island) even if there are campfires and workstations everywhere.
Does anyone knows how to fix the creatures from spawning at all and let us have a peaceful life on a little island. Because normally workstations should prevents spawns but maybe its a bug idk?
I've always ran into that problem with their spawning in the water. Apparently, best as I ever figured out, the water has to be too deep for them to spawn in order to stop them.
do all traders buy valuables for the same price?
Hi everyone!
Im new to this server and came for a reason - we really love to play Valheim and recently i decided to start a dedicated server for my friends with local save.
But unfortunately, after not making it work, i messed up with the world save file and accidentally deleted it π’
I know it was stupid, for sure, and i managed to restore the backup file (<worldName>_backup_auto-20260306200718) with a recovery soft but now it's still not loading.
I don't know the reason so i reeeeeally need an advise - whom can i ask for a help to check what is wrong with my save and why it's not loading?
beech seeds, where do they drop?
When you cut down beech trees they have chance to drop seeds.
Leather scraps from boars, deer hide from deer.
what should i be doing now? just gearing up?
Are you still in meadows? Have you killed the first boss, eikthyr, yet?
no still in the meadows
my main weapon is the torch π goated
So, my husband has hosted Valheim server(s) before via Nitrado. We're fixing for some Valheim things again, we've paid for a 30-day nitrado dedicated server, it's up and running (according to Nitrado) - and apparently has been for well over 2 hours BUT.... neither of us can find it. Not sure if this is the right place to go but community help has ALWAYS been better than google π©·
So, we've done the typical google search, we've tried the standard - verify this, verify that - but we still cannot find it. We cannot direct join via IP (gives us a fail to connect notif.)
I tried a quick search here to see if there's any current issues/outages relevant and couldn't find anything immediately. So, any tips would be greatly appreciated π©·
Just go around gathering materials from the ground, chop down trees and forage/ hunt for food. Once you can gather enough wood you can put down a workbench and make a small shack or something to put a bed and fire and cooking racks to cook meat from deer and boar. Use the gathered materials to make armor and better weapons than a torch and upgrades for your workbench.
ive already done most of this, i have a club, rag trousers and shirt, food, full wood and stone
go find da boss and kill it then π that'd be ur next "step"-ish. or explore other biomes for new materials and crafting recipes
Make better armor than rags, then go kill eikthyr
@untold parrot any reason why you are trying to add me as a friend??
is a club efficient to kill the first boss?
Anything is efficient to kill eikthyr
where is he located
prob a scam bot, best to just block/not reply/report to mods if server supports that c:
random per seed, once you venture into the Black Forest and find a thing to adventure into, you can find a thing that will direct you. Thing = spoilers. tldr; go explore π©·
But i would make a flint knife personally, go to the boss stones and click the red glyph next to the deer stone
Forgot server has modmail, thanks π
i gotta walk back over there?
You have to go back there and hang the boss trophies anyways
maannn
Once you get into the next biome you won't have to walk anywhere but one time unless you're gathering metals
You need to get 2 deer trophies to sacrifice and summon him
deers run away when i breathe near them
Use a bow
it needs tributes, u just need to explore and interact with things my dude. looks like ur looking for ur hand to be held every step rather than playing the game.
yes, use a bow + sneaky when u hear them honk, u can also use sneaky+hunting knife or whatever it called but def not as reliable cuz u can still spook them
no im just confused and i dont know what to do
they should make it so when u kill a boar thats on fire it gives u cooked meat lowkey makes sense
Lol no
It is a lot easier with friends since yall can work together to get a base going, gather mats, etc BUT..... yes, early game, getting deers is probably the most tedious for the first step into progression. Bow + Sneaky(crouch, keep watch on that eyeball icon and kill dem before u get too close spook it) will make your life WAY easier starting out.
it is possible too with uhhhhh what is it, sneaky + hunting knife? I had one seed where getting a bow was so silly but getting a hunting knife was ezpz so i just crouch, sneaky, pokey on deers
sounds good ill take note, thanks for the advice
Flint knife, flint spear also works
ty, been a minute since I last played π trying to fix this nitrado server connection issue in the interm :c
You might ask in #dedicated-server it likely won't get flooded in that channel and missed by someone who can help better
AH, thank you - my eyeballs didn't see that
Hi all I got a small problem i can't get to the 2nd boss he's across the ocean i keep dieing with the kave ship sorry not good at spelling any suggestions on what to do I used alot of time regathering bronze stuff and I dont want to lose it for a 5th time
What keeps killing you while you're at your Karve?
Sea surpant
I tried running from it and the wind changed directions and i get killed tried fighting it and it kills my boat
The serpent is still there?
Last 2 times it was the first 3 deaths was me trying to get barnicals and drown
First death i was able to recover my stuff I wasn't far from the shore
One way could be trying to get the serpent near shores, so other mobs started to fight it.
If there is black forest nearby then there are usually more mob spawns than in meadows.
Wait will it fallow me from the ocean
Yes.
Thanks
In case you need help, you could check this: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630
I got it finally got to the area I set a portal on it
Know I dont need to boat across the ocean
Only used everything arrow i had and a few mobs to help take out the sea surpant
How do I unlock better walls and stuff for a house they seem to get dmg alot with rain
I like to harpoon the serpent and drag it ashore π€£π€£
Wood walls will erode to half hp if left uncovered, putting a roof over the top of them will stop that. And later down the line you'll be able to build stone walls and such that will be immune to the eroding effect from rain
Ok I have a roof but I also have a hole so the smoke gose out from fireplace witch is were it always gets dmged at
Nice π
What dose the cartography table do
It records map progress so you can share map details and discoveries you make with other players
Oh so no point making it in solo then
Unless it's for decoration
The Map table is also for other characters you create to join your own game. shrugs
Um problem how do I get ancient seeds to summon the elder boss
You want a hand Lord? or you solo?
I am currently solo doing a YouTube series on it tell I kill all the bosses after that I plan to do a new series with a group I have no idea who would want to join though
Unless i can make current world coop idk how but if I can i would just start forming a group
I have a goal of eventually making a small town with other players
Yeah any world can be started as a server, and anyone with your password can join it. If you want I can get a character to join you at blackforest level if you like.
Are you available tomorrow i have to work in 30mins
Oof.
And if you dont mind being on youtube also
I don't I've already provided someone a thrifty walk through of my world for 2:45 hours on youtube already
I aint popular i mainly do livestream only and dont have many that fallow
Yeah I was on a livestream with like 3 viewers not a big deal.
Are we aloud to post links to youtube
@ashen mountain can I send you pm with link to my channel and you can see yourself i only have 60 something subscribers
sent you a pm
yes but the channel for this is #self-promotion
Got me in a DM
yeah but if people want to share their yt stream, good place to do it there, I often look there because I have very specific taste in what valheim youtube content i want to watch, and others use the channel a lot too I assume π
Put a roof above your chimney
45 degree angle one
Any roof works, so long as smoke has room to escape
obliviously just feels like 45 degree is better to me. shrugs
its about the size of the openings the smoke has to escape or the volume of space the smoke has to dissipate
Nope, all work the same. π
if you build insanely high with nothing in the way, you don't need a chimney all the smoke will dissipate without causing problems in a grand cathedral kinda "house"
is there any DLC i can buy there is COWs to tame like we tame chickens? i really like to play farming and cooking at valheim, i saw someones screenshot there are food made with milk, was that a MOD?
Probably a mod, there is no DLC for Valheim as of now.
Best to ask about mods here, #mods-discussion
I'm pretty new to Valheim, just got it last week, but have noticed that i get this error message after playing for random amounts of time and it IMMEDIATELY tanks my frames and gets worse and worse and worse
[Error : Unity Log] NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Stack trace: ZNetScene.RemoveObjects (System.Collections.Generic.List1[T] currentNearObjects, System.Collections.Generic.List1[T] currentDistantObjects) (at <e4cfc70261ab46d19f39cc2deb9bc839>:0) ZNetScene.CreateDestroyObjects () (at <e4cfc70261ab46d19f39cc2deb9bc839>:0) ZNetScene.Update () (at <e4cfc70261ab46d19f39cc2deb9bc839>:0)
I have a few mods installed, but they're all pretty widely downloaded and supported ones....
If anybody can help me, PLEASE reach out....
which the best animals to tame without mods? i have a place for chickens and for pigs atm but i want more :c also i have farming in plains, black forest and mistlands, i saw something about vineberry can be planted in blackforest too but i dont know how to plant them, or is it normal to get only 3 un. a day with 4 seeds?
Without?
Boar, Wolves, Chickens, Lox, Asksvins are the only tameables.
how to tame askvins? should i build a home at ashlands?
Have you tamed lox before?
Because Asksvins do even more damage π¬π
And yes, you will need to tame them in the Ashlands.
π new mission: taming askvins
but how do i plant vineberry?
i need them to make food and eitr potions
i planted some but it says that need more space to grow
what can i cook with bear meat?
Cooked Bear Meat.
That's it.
Same concept as Bonemaw Meat.
It's cheap and has really good stats.
Most likely a mod issue. Try #mods-issues and list the mods you use and where you installed them.
They need to be about a meter from a wall with nothing blocking the sky above them and can't be too close to rocks and such
Mistlands feast is a really good eitr food
Most of the feasts suck, mistlamds one finally gives enough raw stats to be worth it.
Plus the balanced spread is quite.nice meaning you can go hard on 2x eitr, or 1 eitr 1 health
I need some assistance, for sum reason I cant even join someone's server despite having the same version
I'm having some serious issues with monsters being utterly invulnerable. bonemass wont take damage from anything, I've looked at countless guides telling you how to easily fight him by standing in certain areas with specific weapons and using certain meads. But he will NOT take damage. This is not the only time I've had issues with this. It occurs with greydwarfs to stone golems and it's very arbitrary as to when it happens. I can be hosting a server for me and my peers or playing the same save file solo. My wolves and other tames are also REALLY janky in that they WILL NOT stop following me and walking through walls frequently to escape their pens. I dont want to have to start a new world after 600 days and struggling along for as long as I have so any input would be really great, thank you.
This is surely odd, do you have any recordings?
Question i went to start a new world and my character still has all of its gear is that normal
Yes
So then to start over I have to make another character
Or unequip everything
Your character will have all his skill levels but you can leave your gear behind somewhere
Skills will remain
He will also have any powers he got I think. You can't change it on that world without the trophies though
Ok also what's max skill level i got my wood gathering to level 48
100 for all skills
Ok thanks
Is there a support email I can use to get help at all? I'm kind of at my wits end here.
I replied above and you didn't answer π€
any mods?
No sir.
It's my first playthrough - so I am trying to keep it vanilla as much as I can.
I admit I had to use the console once to fly out of somewhere I got pinned in, but aside from that it's been clean sailing apart from losing my gravestones (they dont appear always when I die and I lose all I had on me) or things in the water chasing me across the ocean throwing stones at my Karve - and now this nonsense with wolves going through or over walls and refusing to not follow me, and invulnerable things appearing all the time...
Does sound quite odd. Searching "Valheim Support" on google I see there's a bug report form that's prob your best bet
thank you~
Valheim isnt like minecraft where the danger level of a chunk increases as more time is spent in it, right?
Danger is determined by the 'biome' you're in. The more dangerous biomes cannot spawn too close to the spawn.
if you want to play it safe, make portals and beds so you can respawn closer to new zones. That's what has worked for me usually.
The danger level increases? I guess if you stay in an area it gives more time for mobs to spawn, in Valheim or Minecraft
As you progress and kill bosses though, more dangerous mobs may start spawning especially at night, even though you're not in that mobs biome. That's a minor change tho
Usually related to playing over VPN and using crossplay on the server. If you are all on Steam, tell the server owner to disable crossplay.
This can happen only in multiplayer due to various network related issues, like having packet loss.
If it happens often, you and your teammates should do a couple of tests I mentioned here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/1/612032374411149472/#c612032512885010678
It happens when I am playing alone too though
in minecract java a chunk's age governs the rate at which monsters spawn. i know a very old server with an afk farm where monster spawnings at the spawnpoint was a huge problem
where can i find meadows from spawn? is meadows the spawn zone?
Yes. Itβs the first biome
sorry... i figured this out while playing. thanks for being patient
is there a way that i can copy all the things that i explored already+the buildings that i made, and paste it in another world with the same seed? I recently came across a problem that messes up the world generation and i cant seem to find what the problem is, so this is a last recovery attempt. is there anyone that can help me?
please tag me when someone answers
I think there a mods to copy buildings but it can be messy on new terrain. If you generate a world with the same seed hash you could probably closely replicate somethingβs but not perfectly. Whatβs messed up in the world generation?
my generation suddenly stopped
i have normal ground, but the fuling villages are in the air, no trees, no rocks, no ore, only structures like greydwarf spawners, lookout towers, etc.
I would leave and come back, that should hopefully fix it?
no, its a dedicated server
i restarted it multiple times, played without mods, did everythin
i cant find the problem
So me and a friend were sailing on a boat towards south. Then a Sea Serpent started attacking us. 30 seconds Later our Game started to run at 1 fps while on the boat. When finally making it ashore and he jumped off the boat his fps went back to normal. Mine stayed at 1.... Then i portaled away and it stopped. Now i always have 1 Fps when going to that certain location... I restarted the dedicated server already...
Anybody got an idea?
Probably mod related. Do you have Floating items mod? If so, remove it.
This issue can't occur when playing single player offline, or while playing alone while hosting a server via in-game options.
There is a difference when playing alone on a dedicated server.
If the issue happened while you are in the new area on your dedicated server, and you were playing alone, then either the server or you have network related issues.
Your save got messed up. Your current .fwl file doesn't match your .db file.
You will have to stop the server. Access server files via FileZila or similar FPT tool, and restore a backup with matching .fwl and .db file.
Find worldname_auto-backup_timestamp.db and worldname_auto-backup_timestamp.fwl that have matching timestamps and rename them both into worldname.db and worldname.fwl. Then start the server. Choose those with latest timestamp prior to issue happening.
To avoid the issue happening again, be careful how you stop the server. This usually happens when improperly shutting down the server, and cutting world saving process mid progress that executes on server shutdown.
If it doesnt work, could i get back to you and ask for more ideas?
Hello im having trouble finding whats causing all of the forsaken trophies to already be hung and there powers avaliable when i create a new character. I am running a few mods but ive never had that on any of my other modded runs. Any help would be great
You have to create a new world
Yeah, sounds like a world is being used again.
And if you are creating a new world and that happens I'd definitely bet on a #mods-issues
Wow lol im an idiot thanks a lot guys i created a new character like 5 times and was wondering why it was happening but forgot about the new world. Thanks a lot i really appreciate it
No worries, happens to the best of us lol
I have so many old worlds I kind of have to pay attention to ensuring I create a new world. π
do thunderstorms ever end? im kinda stuck with no food and shelter
it will end eventually but it doesn't stop you from doing much except for building
Why no shelter? You can build a pretty quick and simple shelter to get out of the rain and have a burning camp fire.
Think of the old phone booths. Just with roofing.
Just put the fire on an outside wall, with roofing.
Expand it a little, and you can even put a bed down.
Just pick axe a quick hole big enough for a bed and a fire, and hop in with a few roof pieces over the top.
wish i could post pictures with my question π₯
is there a better way of making circles yet or am i stuck kinda smashing everything together? #screenshots message
Yep. Become a master of over lapping pieces.
think i already am
You did do a really nice job.
why is there slowmode in here so long its barely active lol
thanks
I guess for when its really active. Just after a new biome release, usually.
really dislike how smashed together stone looks on the corners. we need corner stone pieces lol
I think there are a lot of build pieces that I would like for them to add. Like some people even want to be able to build plains pieces.
im sure theres mods that add more
ive already done like 7 playthroughs some no mods some heavily modded. now we're just doing a forever world with mostly QoL mods only
@glad current π
Is there a release date for Deep North biome yet?
"When Ready"
Sounds like a good date
I'm over 5300 hours, but I know I am weak, so if I were to ever start using mods, I'd never stop. So I won't start until after 1.0.
Will there be any more updates after 1.0 comes out?
Yeah i was just hoping for more friendly mobs for example or something but will see in 1.0
They might add a new trader, but for more true friendlies you will need to turn to mods for. At least, thats my guess. I am not a developer, etc...
anyone want to help me starting up a world and new character?
youtube is your friend franklin
People in servers-and-lfg might be interested
thank you sean
Game has crossplay with Xbox, will also have with PS5 and Switch 2 once they are added later this year.
can i play this game on my switch 1?
It has no port for Switch 1 and probably won't have, same for PS4.
engineer voice: darn
PS5 and Switch 2 ports are confirmed for this year.
Thanks, found this channel shortly after posting and solved the issue there π
chat... is there a good reason not to destroy the corewood structures around old fire pits?
i kind of want to destroy all of them for their wood
you absolutely should.
Go ahead, early corewood is always nice.
Destroy anything you find that is new to you.
Hello I have a dedicated server not rented. I am trying to figure out how to add myself as an admin
Huh?
If they see this in the #dedicated-server channel, they can likely help.
@lapis terrace hello brotha I have a question about a service / valheim. I have bought a server and am hosting on NItrado and am trying to connect to my server. I keep getting DNS was not resolved / issues where I'm unable to connect to my server even though it says on the web interface that it is running. I have tried restarting, stopping waiting 10 minutes etc and none of this has been helpful. If anyone here knows how to fix these issues please contact me Via dms or @ me in this discord
@unreal tapir is also involved with this and has been unable to help me as well.
Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might also know how to help with that.
@tired root Thanks π
There should be a config file that is titled "adminlist.txt"
If by any chance you want that for using commands to spawn things or fly then sadly that is not possible on dedicated servers as only host can use those, regardless if you are on admin list or not.
hi guys im curently in mistland, i came upon few ruins with stairways leading to no where...
supposed to have infested mines below but its just stairway leading to the ground, i tried mining below but there is no mines below
Can you show some pics?
what do i need to parry 1 star fuling zerk? lvl 4 padded armor and lvl 3 black buckler
is hp important for parrying or just for stagger?
There is only blackmetal shield, no buckler.
You can look in valheim chat channel where is blocking spreadsheet pinned π
Max HP determines how much you can try to block without getting staggered.
well i meant the small one, not the tower one
figured as much, so i'm good at that front, because i don't get stagger in one hit
HHS diet is usually good for that.
are feasts any good or do you just go normal foods?
Nowadays I like using HSF diet after getting mountain/seafarer feast.
50 min duration and balanced stats, plus saves inventory slots from food items per feast used.
Also Mistlands and Ashlands feasts grant also some eitr on top of the HP and stamina stats.
Food is the most important stat in the game.
so for plains it would be lox pie, blood pudding and mountain feast?
Correct, I like that combo.
for Plains (pre-yag ofc) i also like a lot FFx (x being wether H or S depending on situation/fightstile), Mountains and Ocean feasts having identical stats "suggested" it then i almost always sticked to that since i tried
You mean xFF π
well, eheh, yeh ofc i can do xFF 
-# what is the "right" order in general? i'll conform no problem
Doesent really matter imo π
eheh, yeh i have no personal prefernce either, just curious 
H-S-E-F π
so my usual (safe) combo for Mistlands mage would be HEE ! , sounds nice π
Once you kill Queen, EEF is amazing.
will definitely try that, still no active mage chars in Ashlands, just a very fragile Atgeirer for now
Add two of those and you have the King of Pop. 
i've been sailing in a circle around the world trying to find yagluth. is it better to just stop in the plains biomes and run around when i find them?
yess, Yag vegvisir stones are the rarest in game so far, usually you run into the altar before even finding a single vegvivir ||(they're huge and very peculiar looking, so you'll see it from quite afar)||, more than once i found it just sailing next to shore but Plain patches can be huge, so stopping and have a quick run around is adviceable imo
-# eheheh "vegvivir" sounds like a Spanish fresh produce shopπ
I'm running the game through steam and hitting start server - not using the seperate program for a dedicated server. The game pauses when I hit escape when I'm playing alone. Should I still be able to experience networking issues like this when I'm playing in that fashion??
And is there a way to run console commands on other players in my server? like giving them raiseskills or godmode?
Only possible by installing mods
thank you
No, this can't occur when you are playing alone in that fashion. Or more precisely no report of it ever ocurring. The moment you launch as server and someone joins, this can happen, and remain as issue even after they leave, until you restart the server.
OK, if it can happen after they leave, that would explain it - so at least now I know to restart the thing when my partners leave if I want to avoid it
Hi, if I create a new world and play on it but donβt load the Deep North biome, when the update comes out will the biome work normally, or will I need to create a new world?
Any unexplored areas will update with the 1.0 release
a bit why i told my friend we shouldn't explore the north part of the map and left the right side pretty much virgin too
Does anyone know why in gods name i cant revert the consle commands back so i can take stamina loss?
ive tried everything it seems but i cant make it so my stamina is getting used
setkey stamina rate 1 wont work
Itβs a percentage not a multiplier
Alternatively you can use a command to remove the key
how do u go from one biome to another
If youve used the "god" mode, you will need to re-enter that command to end it, while devcommands/debugmode also is activated. If that back and forth doesn't solve it, start Valheim without -console
Usually by walking, or boat, if they are not on the same island.
wheres the next biome after meadows
Look for some very tall trees
So you only have meadows as your starter location?
yeah im tryna figure out where to go, i hit a dead end at some ocean
In that case you can use a raft, if nothing is close enough to swim to.
whats the arrow on the map pointing me to?
Wind direction.
next biome is pointy christmas trees, look for those
so just go around the map looking? is there no direction to go to?
it is a randomly generated open world game
Nope. You have to run around and find it. Or a raft/boat.
Closest you get to directions is when you find a vegvisir to show you a boss location.
I miss being a neewbie in this game, sooooo bad. Not knowing anything and every step was an adventure.
I think that is why I like exploring so much. Closest I can get to feeling like a newbie again.
Yeah, same here. Also why i have a love/hate-relationship to DN, cause thats the last "adventure".
Yep. π
I can not for the life of me get the stamina meter back, when youn said without -console you mean in steam right?
i went back to my base because i didnt know where to go lol
either way ive turned off console and still it continues
ive tried old game saves and all the commands over and over
flint spear or crude bow?
i dont know what to go for since i have flintstone arrows, but at the same time spear seems nice
i could make both aswell
Either works well, but I prefer to go bow. Its most useful for some creatures.
bow it is
When you throw a spear, you have to be able to recover it.
oh
Thats the main reason I don't use them.
arrows are very easy to craft so might aswell
spear is a good melee weapon with the option of chucking it, takes practice. but you have also have a shield and parry and block, bow you can only dodge and run
Yep. wood arrows do the job most of the time.
I don't get into melee with a bow, thats what melee weapons are for.
this isnt easy to aim
Bows get better.
Get good enough and its rate of fire will remind you of an automatic gun.
Spear.
lol wellp. good thing i didn't put the cart on the boat because valheim indeed did the thing. massive storm happened immediately. and i was like "i don't need all my spears i'll just bring my new bark spear". also started sailign with a 2/3 durability boat. it was an epic fight that ended with me whiffing a spear throw sending the spear to the bottom of the ocean which makes it not float up for a long time so i had no range and my boat was 1 hp left, so i leapt out of the boat at its face as it approached and it ate me XD neverbow is good if you arent a dumby and dont bring multiple spears on the boat...
Or just, don't miss π
what would be an upgrade to rag tunic and trousers?
Anything.
Leather, from deer hides.
spears throw nice and straight XD try spear too see what you like, too many people touch a bow and never let go
the recipe isnt available on my workbench
ohhhhhhh... shoot where were you 5 minutes ago???
Spear until arbalest.
Throwing up and then calling in sick.
Where were you?
Bows are just better. Why do you think spears went out of use in real life? They suck.
its really hard to aim with the bow π im aiming at the deer and it hits under it
i was kind of hoping to die honestly, was missing my axe hard and the seed was REALLY bad.
Spears didn't get phased out. They got upgraded to halbreds and the like.
Aim higher. Account for the drop.
at least you get to play valheim..... my timer just went off in his crib thats all the joy i get today
Um, I'm a hunter. No one hunts with any type of spear. Only bows or guns.
The arrow is gonna sink as it flies it's not a straight shot. If you're shooting close range it should be fine, but for any great distance aim a little above the target
The throwing part of them got phased out, sure. But the long stabby part of them got better.
Just run around and kill what you see. You never know what will spawn as their replacement.
Also, I have spent many hours gettng used to accounting for the drop on arrows. Its just like in real life, and what you will have to do no matter how good the bow is.
To the point where when I was playing on servers I often got called Robin Hood.
im gonna craft the antler pickaxe
I loved learning how to use the bows. Nothing more satisfying then sniping deathsquitos hovering accross the field
You pretty much have to.
Its the only way to get the metals you need, and rock.
Well, get rock faster than picking up every piece you see.
a lot of deer hide is needed
Yep.
You need a lot of meat too.
Plus trophies for Stagbreaker, which I highly recommend making and using. It goes with your club skill, which is a good skill to use a lot.
I don't think that unlocks until you get a new wood thats easiest to find in the Black Forest.
Why is your club skill a good skill to use?
I never touch it after the first few hours in the game lol
You can find it in the meadows, but you have to find and destroy a certain kind of object.
Blunt works best against certain mobs and a boss.
2 bosses, actually.
Is mace skill club skill? O_o
Yes.
DANG
I thought it was its own skill lol
I mean my skills are only so worthwhile since I have a nasty habit of dying π
spear isnt that bad
Its why I hate dying, so started doing Zero Death runs. Now I die so little my skills actually get rather high.
Its not. Just I hated having to recover it when I threw it.
its a long and close range wep
I would quit the game if I had to do perma death π I can't just not die lol
I don't do perma deaths. I think thats just stupid. When I die I keep going. The rest is just practice for the next time.
I guys im currently building a cathedral and im looking for someone who likes building docks
Why? What advice you looking for?
I also do mostly deathless runs, but not like some who just delete character and world upon death. I just consider that not successful.
Although with my group I didn't take it too seriously and even died few times. Those were fun deaths tho.
Exactly. Plus I am not going to just throw that time and effort into the garbage. I value my time too much.
Working on cathedral #3 andbi hate building docks im looking for someone who had done a few
Ill post a video I just made in a bit
I usually end up building quite a lot, trying something different in each run. Having to delete those would be waste really.
On Zero Death runs I am very minimalist. But once I die I do a lot more building. Usually.
So the further I get, the less I build. π
Since building creates more opportunities for dying.
In my current run just yesterday I started building seriously, before I just progressed quite fast while testing early axes in different biomes.
I'm having around 80 axes and over 50 spears skill levels and no other melee weapons used.

Ill post that vid in memes and clips. Just looking for a dock builder while I work on the cathedral
80 is a LOT of killing. π
Nvm it has a timer
Lots of testing out early axes. 
They take out fulings quite well too.
But for villages I take my battleaxe and start chopping. 
Battleaxe being 0.1s faster in 1.0 would be peak.
Yeah early axes require exploring certain wooden buildings around Meadows for 2 different axe heads.
I just find battle axes to be fun.
Not sure why, except for when cutting structures down. Thats clear as to why they are fun.
It's fun to demolish those wooden watchtowers in fuling villages or even stone towers with battleaxe.
why is my raft is not moving
Use the rudder.
it just stopped
Is the sail down?
ye
Then you've probably ran aground.
im in the midle of the sea
Check wind direction, if you have headwind you need go paddling speed.
I've found plenty of rocks and sand bars in the sea.
Wind direction is that arrow in the mini map.
apreciate it guys
Or the blank spot on the thing shown to you with the rudder.
Pop up? Not sure what the technical name for that would be.
ty it worked, what items do i need to spawn eikthyr
Blud for the bludgod. Deers for the deergod.
Seeds for the Seedgod. Trolls for his troll throne?
how many?
2
and how many for the first summon? two then, as well?
I thought you meant the first summon. It's 2 deer trophies to summon Ekthiyr
Yup always 2
Throw 4 in and summon 2 eikthyr
i actually have all the necessary ingredients for stagbreaker except 4 corewood #u#
1 extra trophy
now i need one more trophy and still 4 corewood
Never used it tbh
i'm excited to have a 2 handed weapon
I'm not a fan of them myself, they attack too slow imo
It makes things like the burial chambers much easier. You can kill that swarm of skeletons at the same time.
Its much more about its AoE.
ah... manageable swarms... my favorite π₯² (i like how in dark souls swarms suck)
I mean, i get that, but still not seen the real necessity of it since skeletons are easy to kill
skeletons almost required specific weapons in dark souls (unlike valheim) too... i appreciated this as well
mods... let me know if my dark souls chatter becomes to incessant
Except when there is like 6 of them, and your best weapon is flint or a piece of wood.
Maybe if they're all starred lol
do boars respawn?
wondering if it'll be difficult to give Miss Hoggy a kermit the hog
Yes they'll respawn in meadows
okay
But if you found a group of them around a runestone then dont expect them to respawn in the same numbers π that is one time spawn
Yeah, its best to just move far away from spawn, then kill boar until a 2 star spawns.
Its how I do it now, at least.
do you realize the irony in killing lots of boars so you can make one your pet
i can't look at valheim bores the same way
π₯Ί
this thing has the capacity to love me
I used to be a farmer. We had pigs, and a lot more. So I had to get used to killing things I raised from a baby many years ago.
It was never fully "easy". I hated it every time.
honestly i was just saying what i thought was reasonable.
My truth is,
i've actually had great respect for people that can kill animals they raise, and killing an animal whose meat i'll eat with my own hands has been something i've wanted to do, so i can better understand the weight of my choices of food.
Yeah, doing it to feed my family and to generate income did not make it pleasant for me. It was just necessary.
π
I guess I will never be a psychopath.
honestly feeling your grief made today a little better
it wasn't necessary. that was worst part, imo.
it made everything else meaningless
I'll just add that I highly respect the cultures that thank their food for their sacrifice before eating it.

maybe in some cultures pigs that are about to die get drunk if it's clear they like it
one final moment of bliss before the eternal night
anyway uh.
on my own part:

i did this myself.
.
Where can i go to find a few more pieces of corewood in or near the starting meadow?
You can find the naturally generated camp sites, or you can just go into black forest real quick and fell some pine trees π
how much corewood is in each pine tree?
i felled a thick one and i don't r getting any
around 15
hmmm
You need the ones with no branches near the bottom π
is there a way to force the game to make a backup in case this operation goes terribly wrong
and how do i make sure my death doesnt overwrite that, if it to that comes?
Tbh, no idea, whenever i died i just went and got my stuff back via "naked run" pretty much π
π
has anyone here tried offering boars collected dandelions
I haven't, but as far as I know its not a listed food. For boar.
IT is a food later, for something else.
Yeah, boars will not eat dandelions π
beer, right?
Beer? There will be something that is basically a beer later
Tasty mead is the closest we get to a beer.
I would say ||barley wine|| is closer π
Mead is closer to beer. Just mead tastes far better.
idk i enjoyed a few sips of guiness
Well, much like beer and wine, it does take a bit of searching to find ones that actually taste good.
Well, considering the material from which ||barley wine|| is made in game, it is really closer to beer than ||wine|| imho π
I will say that mead tastes way better than ||wine|| tho π
And i much preffer beer to wine π
i'm one of those possibly unhealthy people that actually likes the taste of beer and wine
i will eat olives by themselves tho
i have that kind of tastes
I find most beers and wines disgusting. I had to look hard to find ones I like and naturally, they are freaking expensive. So are the meads I like.
I will agree the over all process has much more in common between mead and wine.
do you enjoy a good guiness, rob?
Probably. I had to cut way down on my drinking when I became diabetic back in 2009.
π«
i haven't been able to drink because of its interactions with my other conditions
Yeah, that too. I still break the rules every once in a while.
once you have two tame boars, how does one make more boars?
Just feed them more and keep them somewhat together π if they say they are happy they will make babies
Do you have to stay near them?
I think I recall having to stay near them.
Yep, you have to keep them loaded
so i really should be saving boar meat?
and not cooking it?
For start you can cook and eat it, but later you will want quite the amount of uncooked variety, since that will be used for a good higher tier food π
IIRC two higher tier foods.
maybe one of them isnt good π«
Actaully, 5 π
Is it that many? π
Yep xD
2 in black forest, and 3 in the biome after that
Oh, 4, one of the 3 uses cooked meat
I think I only really use two of them.
There are a fair number of lower tier foods I ignore. At least until magic, and then its because I don't use magic, so only need one of those for the platter.
is it possible to give boars a trough?
Not really. Less problems just having them eat off the ground or simple floor.
Doing things like that can easily make them not eat.
so the game implemented something partway and it glitches?
It would probably not cause problems if they gave us a pre built trough.
But they also don't like us to build industrial breeding platforms.
Has anyone heard anything about all equiped items despawning when you die? my friend just died in our world and all his armor, trinkets, merg, disapeared from the body?
I heard about this happening if you are using inventory mods π€
am i supposed to kill these little humanoids for loot... seems mean
Which ones? Dvergr?
You dont need to, but sometimes its easier/faster π
if i pop one wil the entire race declare war on me instead of saying hi?
Only the ones in the area will be mad at you π
is there a blue troll that comes out of the forest and tries to kill you if you go in too far
There certainly can be a blue troll in there π his motivation to kill you is more of a guess tho
A? As in singular?
there's more than one π¨
Perhaps
A good rule of thumb is to defend your home better than you think you need to.
Trolls show up in the forest occasionally. Especially if you're mining or making noise. But for me, I'd rather fight a troll then a bear at the start π
Trolls are so weak, wish they'd spice em up
is it just me or can i not get a bear trophy
Variants of trolls
troll wielding a giant oak log
troll carrying a boulder which they can either throw as a one time thing or crush you with it
or give the trolls ability to stomp
Just you. How many have you slain ?
