[dapper vapor]

i mean i didnt count but i got over like 140 bear hide

so a just couple

[abstract eagle]

Wow. Okay. Any starred ones ,m

[dapper vapor]

a couple 1 stars and like one 2 star but mainly 0 stars

[abstract eagle]

Hmm, odd. I do have few bear rugs. I think try moving into different area. Like different black forest. Odd, I had similar luck with hares

Pray to RNGesus .. otherwise it's just chance. But more chance on starred ones

[dapper vapor]

i mean yeah we did move to like 3 differenet black forests

[dapper vapor]

alright so its just me and my bad luck with the trophys then.

[abstract eagle]

Seems like it. They'll come and then you'll get like 3 trophies in a row

[dapper vapor]

yeah we will stop trying to get them and suddenly we have a stack or something

[abstract eagle]

Actually it looks like there 10% chance to drop a trophy regardless of the stars

[dapper vapor]

alirght

[abstract eagle]

You said we .. maybe the 10% chance is per person so more people killing less chance like if you have 3 people and killed 30 bears then you each only had 3 chances to get a trophy

[dapper vapor]

there are 2 of us we kill like 50/50 ish

[abstract eagle]

Bad luck then but bet if you get 140 more hide you'd get a trophy

[dapper vapor]

yeah prob

[frail orbit]

Hello. I have successfully tamed 2 lox. Are there any conditions that might make them 'un-tamed' or aggro again?

[full mesa]

Once an animal is tamed its tamed for life, until it inevitably dies to some annoying creature

[frail orbit]

oh ok thanks!

[long sage]

heyya what mod do you guys use to prevent cheating

[drowsy crane]

Trust.dll, it comes with vanilla and good friends.

[long sage]

i cant search it on google, can you tell me more about it

[drowsy crane]

You inject your game with people you know won't cheat from your group of trusted friends.

[long sage]

Oh...

[tired root]

He jested a bit.
But you might find out by asking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍

[rustic yarrow]

Do crafting benches not prevent enemies from spawning anymore? I'm still having an awful time with stuff spawning in my base

[frosty frost]

They do 🙂 are you using just simple workbenches or do you upgrade them to increase their radius when spawnproofing?

[buoyant compass]

Hello, I'd like to know if there's any way to remove storms from the game. My PC is very old, and when I'm in the middle of a storm, in any biome, my FPS drops to as low as 5, which is very frustrating.

And yes, I play with VERY LOW specs

[barren rivet]

i only know about using dev commands to set the weather to clear, there may be some mod out there that can permanently do it i’d ask in the mods channel if using dev commands every time a storm pops up sounds tedious

[frosty frost]

There technically is a way as Yacko said with commands, but it is a clunky solution, it will remove all weather effects until you restart the world.

[barren rivet]

oh i didnt know it was permanent til you reloaded your world, that's not awful

[frosty frost]

Yeah, but imagine going into swamps and there is no rain or clouds, just sunny weather 😄
It is not awful, just clunky and unnatural

[buoyant compass]

My biggest problem is the storms in the mountain biome and those in the ashlands.

[frosty frost]

No way to selectively remove just those in vanilla as far as i am aware sadly, you could ask folks in #mods-discussion if they have a solution if you really want tho 🙂

[barren rivet]

ohhhh gross i didnt thikn about that

[sharp nova]

how do i load a backup?

does the game only make backups when you die?

nevermind i got it working

[sharp cargo]

Hurray!

[rustic yarrow]

I'm just using the basic ones. I have 'dirt' walls surrounding my base and I'm fully blanketed by overlapping crafting benches but they still spawn in my base. I cannot have more than one base because of this. Anytime I try - one base is GONE if I'm not there at all times when I come back. Even if I'm away for like an in-game day. It's made getting anything done in the plains impossible because I can't grow flax without babysitting it, and if I do, I lose my main base in the meadows :T

[tacit breach]

Your base is getting destroyed while your not there? Nothing should be happening when your not present. You playing by yourself?

[rustic yarrow]

I play alone a lot, but I usually have the game hosted via cross play so my buddy can pop in if he wants to. When he does join, I don't often restart the server after he leave so I think that might play a factor in it too. I dont want to clear another fuling village to get more flax and just lose it while I'm not there lol and I dont want to make another huge wall out of the terrain to protect it out there...

It's not hosted as a dedicated server - just hosted through the game as launched through steam.

[tacit breach]

I get it. I play Valheim with my wife like that.

[rustic yarrow]

I'm not super tech savvy and I dont know what elements of this play a role in the situation so I want to be clear lol

[tacit breach]

Still, even if you left while a raid was going on, it should not wipe your base out. Just damage it some.

[rustic yarrow]

I turned off raids at this point because they would spawn inside my base too lol - I Watched that happen.

[tacit breach]

Well, if you miss covering even a single meter, that can happen.

[rustic yarrow]

I will concede that my base's area is rather large but I have checked so many times to make sure the walls are sheer 'cliff's and smooth on the outer walls. The coverage for the crafting benches fits together link links of chainmail at this point. A grid layout...

[tacit breach]

However, since you know exactly where they spawned, I presume you checked coverage there.

[rustic yarrow]

I did. It was right by my workshop which is how I saw it happen through the window. 2 trolls. I rolled back.

[tacit breach]

I have had coverage just simply stop working. Have you rebuilt all spawn blockers you rely on?

[rustic yarrow]

I have not. I didn't know that the spawn protection could wear off like that...

I've only been playing for about a month now, maybe a litlte more, maybe a little less.

[tacit breach]

Its been rare, I have had it happen maybe 3 times in over 5000 hours.

[rustic yarrow]

I'll give that a spin than. Thank you. I still don't know quite what I'm goign to do about the plains base but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

[tacit breach]

IF you want I can join you on your server, take a look, etc...

I've been here 5 years, so if I was a "problem" the people here would know it.

[rustic yarrow]

That's alright, I appreciate the offer though.

[vital kindle]

The portal dont work for console. Players help

[tacit breach]

Tag me if you change your mind.

[rustic yarrow]

alright, thank you again~

[vale ledge]

How is it possible that goblins spawned at my house in the first biome? I’ve never had any goblin raids in this biome before, so it feels really strange that they suddenly showed up at night. I noticed them because of the sound — I heard them, went to check, and there were three of them.

Does anyone know why this might happen?

I just killed the fifth boss, Yagluth, and I’m wondering if defeating him makes goblins able to spawn in more places at night. This is new to me. If anyone knows what’s going on, I’d appreciate the help. Thanks!

[steep tusk]

You killed Yagluth. Fulings are now enabled as global night spawns.

When you kill Queen, Seekers get added to the table.
When you kill Fader, Charred.

[vale ledge]

Ah, okay, cool. Good to know. Thanks.

[jade olive]

Instead of so many benches why not use fire pits. They are much smaller and will give you a 20m radius so you can easily over laps eliminating all the holes you might have. I have a small island and have them placed and have no issues with spanws only where I want them. It may help to add them in to what you have now.

[rustic yarrow]

I would worry I'll forget to keep them lit mostly. But you're probably right about them being better. It's really dark in here.

[frosty frost]

They prevent spawns even when they are not lit 🙂

[rustic yarrow]

Well that's good to know

[jade olive]

Yeah no need to be kept lit and you can easily hide them

[tacit breach]

Too bad burying them doesn't work reliably.

[frosty frost]

You just need to make sure you leave tiny bit above the ground 🙂

[vast nova]

currently searching for sunken crypts but cant find any out of the 4 swamp areas i went to can someone give me some advice

[frosty frost]

Sadly, the only advice is keep searching for more swamps 😅

[tacit breach]

The wider they are the better. Narrower swamps tend to have none, or one.

[frosty frost]

Yep, generally, the bigger the swamp the better the chances for a crypt 🙂

[vast nova]

i have been searching for a while now

im gonna go back to searching thanks for the advice

[tacit breach]

Heh, I ran through a narrow one yesterday and was shocked to find two.

[abstract eagle]

Share a map if you can

[vast nova]

not sure if i can

[abstract eagle]

Just post it in #screenshots

[vast nova]

ive found the plains and got oneshotted 💀

[abstract eagle]

That'll happen

[hushed sigil]

It’s a real buzz when that happens, usually the last thing you needle.

[twin spindle]

hi guys, i got a quick question - my friends and I have been playing together on friend's world, meaning we can't play unless that 1 friend is playing.
Is it possible to transfer the save to a linux machine and then run a dedicated server there?

[lapis terrace]

yes

you can host a dedicated server for free

[twin spindle]

Im actually struggling right now with my friend

[lapis terrace]

best is #dedicated-server for help 🙂

[twin spindle]

since you're a dev, could you just tell me if the world consits of ONLY .db and .fwl files?

[lapis terrace]

I haven't done a server in a while. but those use to be the only files needed

you read this?

[twin spindle]

Im not sure if it's the same tutorial that you have on the website, but basically yeah

if it's the only thing I need to install a valheim server then thanks, it's gonna suffice 🤝

[lapis terrace]

it should be

and the dedicated tool is free on steam

those *Cache files I think was only for minimap 🤔

[twin spindle]

okay thanks a lot

actually, just one more question xD
is 8gb ram enough?

[lapis terrace]

should be if you aren't to many players

like 3-4-5 should be ok

[twin spindle]

6 at most, with no to little mods, so yeah, thanks again

[lapis terrace]

just monitor 🤔

[vale ledge]

In the Mistlands I'm mining one of those giant skulls that give black marble. I've mined everything around it and even underneath it, so now it's literally floating in the air. It's been a while and it still hasn't fallen. I don't understand why.

[lapis terrace]

you need atleast 2 meter from ground or any other attachment

sometimes it's sooo thin, you need to just keep on pickaxing suspicious pieces until it falls

[sweet musk]

Hello all. Having an issue...Have Level 3 Galdyr Table, have 9 sealbreaker fragments, but cannot make the sealbreaker key....the craft button is greyed out saying "missing requirements"

[frosty frost]

Have you used commands to spawn some of the fragments?

[sweet musk]

No, I quit the game and then logged back in and I could craft it just now. Minor Glitch lol

[frosty frost]

There is a known issue with incorrectly entering spawn commands that can cause exactly this issue 😄 so i asked. If that was the case then it would be best to delete that whole stack and spawn in new ones

[sweet musk]

🙂 thank you for the response

[final meadow]

Question about carts: how do they handle the 1/2 rise stairs?

[frosty frost]

You should be able to get them up the stairs i believe, tho i have not tried that for a long time 😄

[steep tusk]

Depends on weight.

[final meadow]

How about down? A full or near full load?

I don't want to wreck myself by trying it blind.

[steep tusk]

Define "full load"?

[final meadow]

All wood.

So pretty heavy, but not metal-heavy.

[steep tusk]

Ok, but are you defining it as "all slots full"?

[final meadow]

I am, yes.

[frosty frost]

Oh, down? That will be quite easy 😄

[final meadow]

That's kind of what worries me. 🤣

[steep tusk]

If you are planning to move a cart anywhere, may I recommend you redefine "full" as "about 700kg" -- carts will work a lot better for you in this context.

[final meadow]

Right. I'll go for "part full" then. Thanks for the advice!

[rigid ginkgo]

Hi guys!
Where can I find the local world files?
I looked in C:\Users\user\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds,
but they're not there.

[steep tusk]

They feel like irl normal carts until you cross 700, then they feel horrible.

[frosty frost]

Instead of worlds, look into worlds_local 🙂 andif its not there then you have it saved on cloud

[rigid ginkgo]

Okay, thanks.

[sharp nova]

do hogs need a bit of privacy to breed?

[frosty frost]

Nope 😄 in fact you have to stay in their general area 😄

[sharp nova]

how long does it take?

[frosty frost]

As little as minute and a half but can be quite a bit longer, creatures need "love points" for breeding and there is 33% chance of getting one every 30 seconds. After boar gets all 3 love points it needs it will take another minute for piggy to be born. 🙂

[sharp nova]

is there a cooldown governing how often pigs can breed?

[frosty frost]

Not as far as i know, only the 30 second timer in combination with the 33% chance

[real forge]

Hi guys, it is my first time playing valheim and I am trying to find the merchant. I have gone around the coasts of all neighbouring islands and not found his icon, Any suggestions to find him?

[frosty frost]

It usually good idea to search the black forest around Elder 🙂

Ïf that doesent work, just search big black forests taht are not that close to spawn

[real forge]

can i show you a image of my map of what i have eexplored so far

[tired root]

You can post ingame related screenshots in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 👍

[subtle parrot]

Sometimes if my boars aren't breeding, i go in a push them together until i see them both get pink hearts for each other lol

[sharp nova]

i got breeding working

i think i get it now

thank you all for your help

my new question is

how do i fight a bear without dying?

[tired root]

What equipment do you have currently?

[sharp nova]

full leather and flint

and stagbreaker as well

[tired root]

If you have wooden shield you are able to parry its weaker attacks, which are the one paw strikes when it lunges forward.

But it will get easier once you get next shield upgrade, which is buckler.

[sharp nova]

is there an upgrade to the tower shield

can i hope to block its strongest attack with the next one

[tired root]

There is, but you cannot parry with tower shields.

[sharp nova]

i know but i um.

i don't really want to put my life on the line of "did i get the timing righ"

[tired root]

Next tower shield is craftable with materials you get from enemies in black forest dungeons.

Both their drops and trophies are required, plus some wood.

[sharp nova]

i know where one dungeon is...

[tired root]

Stagbreaker is quite nice against them as it's mostly blunt, also fire arrows. They are weak against both damage types.

[sharp nova]

is there a club between stagbreaker and club?

[plain pumice]

Is a fully upgraded iron armor and a fully upgraded iron sword + Buckler enough to fight off the Swamp Wraith?

[tired root]

Next club weapon becomes available when you get metals found around black forest.

[sharp nova]

some skeletons appeared around a house on the outskirts of the black forest and stagbreaker badly damagd my house 🫠

[abstract eagle]

Should be. Those are a bit tricky cause they hit hard and come from above. Try dodging first hit

[tired root]

Oops, well nothing you can't repair.

[sharp nova]

at least now i know stagbreaker is great for breaking houses without a workbench and hammer

[pine yoke]

Hello 🙂 I would like to create a dedicated server, what is the best site? Thanks

[tired root]

There is https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 where you may ask about things related. 👍

[tacit breach]

Yep, Stagbreaker, like all weapons, will trash your stuff if you use it against it. Just its easier to do with it with that AoE. 😄 Wait until you see the later big hammers.

[frank osprey]

Is normal having two Eikthyr locals in my world?

[tacit breach]

Yes, each boss has multiples.

[frank osprey]

One close to the other?

[tacit breach]

With Eikthyr, yes, he has up to 3, I think. Since he is the starter boss, his are all close to the starting point.

[strong cape]

I think Eikthyr being the first boss is forced to 3 alters and all within a limited range from the center of the world/scrafice stones

[frosty frost]

More often than not they will spread out, but there have been instances where you can literally see another altar while standing at one 🙂

[jolly tapir]

Armor question, so I like to mix and match armors, but I'm a little fuzzy on how it works. Say I want some speed and some protection. To get a little speed back, would I wear for example, my troll armor leggings and iron chest, or iron greaves and troll tunic? Or does it not matter?

[frosty frost]

Most chest and legs armor pieces give you some movement penalty, if you choose ones without it, you will be faster 🙂

[jolly tapir]

do troll armor legs give a movement penalty then? I

[frosty frost]

Nope, they do not 🙂

[jolly tapir]

Alright thanks, Asatru! I am on a new world and prepping for swamp until I can get my root armor lol

[tired root]

Heavy armor pieces grant you ms penalty (except helmets don't ever).

[plush bobcat]

can someonehelp me??

my map wont open anymore

i press the keybind (M) and nothing happens

[frosty frost]

Do you still see minimap normally?

[plush bobcat]

no, it isnt loaded

[frosty frost]

Ah, then you might have accidentally enabled the no map modifier, go to main menu and check if it is on or off 😄

[plush bobcat]

yeah😭

now its back

[frosty frost]

Nice 😄

[plush bobcat]

i had a mod on and it must've changed it

[frosty frost]

Yeah, my next question would have been if you are using or were using any mods 😄

[plush bobcat]

Thank you

[sharp nova]

i died in a crypt #u#

i got it back

[weak temple]

Do the flametal spires still sink?

[frosty frost]

Yep, just the chance per hit for it was lowered significantly 🙂

[tacit breach]

The spires that touch actual ground hardly ever sink. But they still can.

For a while I thought they never sank. Then one did.

[frosty frost]

There is no difference between those touching ground and ones completely surrounded by lava 🙂

[tacit breach]

Maybe not, except I don't go out to the ones surrounded by lava unless I can't find the others touching ground. Different enough for me. 😄

[sharp nova]

is there an upper limit to how much pork is good to have saved early game?

i have two and a half stacks of uncooked pork

[steep tusk]

Full wooden chest is where I personally stop.

[earnest tiger]

i dropped my iron scraps because im slowly marching back to my boat while encumbered and its stuck in an unbreakable swamp log :c

[frosty frost]

Can you maybe dig a bit under it?

[earnest tiger]

oh, really good idea, i will give that a try!

that did it, tysm!

[final meadow]

Do sconces give the same amount of light as floor-torches? Because they are way more expensive.

[full mesa]

I believe they are the same radius but sconce cant be put out by rain

[final meadow]

I don't think the floor torches are put out by rain either. But thanks for the info.

[full mesa]

Good light decoration

[full mesa]

Nope

[sharp nova]

where is the pet rock found

[subtle parrot]

There is a poi you can find in the black forest with a bunch of them and i think it can still be found randomly in the black forest as well but not sure tbh I've still not found one. But I've seen some folks say they've had better luck finding the poi near elder locations.

[full mesa]

They can be found within 1000meters away from the center mainly in meadows and blackforest biomes, they can be hard to notice from a far but once close you can tell the difference, regular stone is alot darker whilst rocky gives off a metalic like glint and is brighter

Best to explore blackforest as you might come across the rare POI aswell for more rocky

[sharp nova]

i think i've seen rocky but ignored him because i found him scary and disturbing

[jolly tapir]

You should see the messages my rocks send me 😂 😂 they are dark little rockies

[tight compass]

Anyone around that could help with Bonemass?

[chrome pagoda]

what to do after i kill the 5th both?

[abstract eagle]

Go to mistlands

[ashen mountain]

need a hand?

[tired root]

IIRC they have longer duration per resin compared to wooden torch and you can fill 6 resin on copper sconce.

[tired root]

Check what you can do with the 5th boss drops before venturing into next biome.

[chrome pagoda]

Sorry another question how i can find the sea monster he is a red color i don't remember the name

[tired root]

Only ocean mob in game currently is sea serpent which spawns there only during night and/or rain.

Well, also 2 different fish and other of them are red colored, but they don't count as "mobs" technically.

[chrome pagoda]

I search for a long time but I didn't find it

[plain lava]

They spawn at night or when it’s raining

[jolly tapir]

orrrr very rarely, during the day, when it's sunny, becuase it has 100% happened 😂

[ocean shoal]

is there a spot i can post images for asking help about

[true steeple]

Serpents spawned by rain won’t despawn so you can find them again later in clear weather at day

[chrome pagoda]

I searched for a long time and i didn't find one of them

Or is there a spot they appear most?

[hushed sigil]

Yes, usuallly when low on food and carrying expensive cargo that you used way too much time to get and couldn’t bear to lose, that’s usually when they come. Just about the same time as the wind dies or changes so that you can either sail into rocks or paddle

[frail orbit]

Are dverger hostile from the start? I entered the mist for the first time and I thought it was an enemy swimming.. but as soon as I shot 1, 2 more joined it. How do i de-aggro them?

[drowsy crane]

No they are hostile when you shoot them. 😂

You cannot de-aggro them as far as I am aware.

[frail orbit]

bruhh so I need to fight all of them?

[drowsy crane]

Yes, or run away.

[frail orbit]

ok ill take the 2nd option. thanks!

[tired root]

You can: by killing them.

[ocean shoal]

i came back to the dverger site like 7 in game days later and close / save the game at least twice, the dverger did remember my stupid face and shot on sight lol (btw whats that pink orb of death spell they killed me with thats pretty cool)

[drowsy crane]

Nope! They're still aggro as ghosts and haunt you forever.

[pliant merlin]

Mistile orbs, fascinating but they hit hard, 150 blunt damage if im not wrong. think you can dispell them if you hit them or in some way take them out, they will follow you for some while.

one sad thing about dvergrs is how they completely ignore the beauty of their buildings and willingly blow them up in pieces just to get you

[ocean shoal]

hahah they do its true

[regal cove]

Is there a French person who knows a lot about construction because the weight ratio of my house isn't good in mine?

sorry for my english XD

[tired root]

It's understandable enough, would any of other English speakers be at help?

You can post picture of your building in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202310893757530142 so people could give advice.

[icy hedge]

my friend and I just had two serpents spawn at day, is it a bug or what? It wasn't storming either.

[subtle parrot]

Storm spawned serpents don't despawn, my only guess is they went unnoticed until now

[icy hedge]

It was storming earlier yeah

[vernal fractal]

i thought somehow the storm from the meadows spawned them

[vital tapir]

Maybe "Snakes on a Plane", "Lost", "Valheim" cross-over 🤔 blame Desmond for not pushing the button in time

[rustic yarrow]

I can't seem to use boats because they keep taking damage while I'm riding on them...

[sinful moth]

Is the vile armour good? I have a maxed out padded set already and wanted to know if it's worth chasing viles, +40% stamina regen looks pretty good but the armour is a lot worse than padded

[narrow python]

Depends on your ability to dodge. If you're good at dodging, use vile, it'll boost your offensive capability. If not...you'll easily get squished

[sinful moth]

k thanks, I'll probably just craft it and try it out then

[jolly tapir]

Boats occasionally get damaged by big choppy waves. But they shouldn't take damage all the time. What exactly happens? Do you phase through the mast ever?

[barren rivet]

mods? rocks?

[tired root]

If the downsides of the set bonus worries you, you could use other helmet in place of the visage - either Fenris hood for slight speed boost or Padded helmet for more armor. I usually rock with heavy helmet and Vilebone chest and loincloth pieces until I get mats for the light armor of Ashlands.

[tired root]

Blocking/parrying also, since armor and possible weaknesses don't affect on blocking.

[sinful moth]

But I thought the set bonus was the best part of it, why would I use it otherwise?

[tired root]

Good enough armor and no movement speed penalty.

[sinful moth]

Hm ok, but I don't think that's worth it for me

[tired root]

Also Vilebone armor pieces not costing iron or any other metal is one plus too.

And it's fun to hunt viles during night, fulings also spawn more frequently so more black metal, meaning 2 birds with one stone.

[rustic yarrow]

I dont think it's rocks, I'm going between continents when it happens. I dont use mods because I'm on crossplay with a peer

[barren rivet]

it does take small damage if you go over a wave a certain way and smash the water, a bad storm can break your boat if you dont ride the waves right, that’s normal

[rustic yarrow]

it's consistently taking 20 damage as I travel. At regular intervals even

[chrome pagoda]

Dose anyone have a layout to a good building thst can i do it or tutorial on YouTube

And a what is the best blqck metal armor or root armor

[subtle parrot]

There is no black metal armor, i assume you mean padded iron armor? Padded armor is good, and you can add the root harnesk in place of the padded chest for pierce resistance, especially if you're going into mistlands.

But keep some fire wine around to cancel the weakness out

[untold iron]

Can anyone teach me how to host my valheim world on the valheim dedicated server in the steam library. Btw I have mods

[tired root]

People in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might know.

[still granite]

How do I add admins on a non dedicated server

[compact heath]

you can't, also an admin on a dedicated vanilla server can only kick or ban people not use normal devcommands like fly and god and spawn etc, need a mod for that

[compact heath]

I'd also recommend finding a youtube video that shows you how to do it apart from asking in #dedicated-server

[sick trail]

im so confused. i unlocked everything for the draugr fang but i havent unlocked the recipe in the forge

[steep tusk]

Is your forge upgraded enough?

[sick trail]

Yes lvl6

[steep tusk]

And you've touched silver, guck, and ancient wood?

[compact heath]

only needs level 2

[sick trail]

its an old save file, might be corruped due to updates, and yes i have those resources on me

[steep tusk]

Yes. Probably borked.

[compact heath]

and its at forge not workbench same as huntsmen but different from the previous 2 bows

[sick trail]

Yeah, huntsman is also not unlocked :/

[compact heath]

no mods?

[sick trail]

I do play with mods, havent checked whether thats the issue. will do thanks

[steep tusk]

Problem located.

[compact heath]

could also drop and re- pick up the mats in a new world, just make one load it and drop them there if that works - or yeah that does sound like a mod issue now, just load game with 0 mods and check

very easy to do just start from steam or r2modman etc "load vanilla" or whatever its called

[sick trail]

welp, that was indeed the issue

thanks for the help

[lucid cypress]

Frost Arrows not unlocking at the Workbench. Workbench is L5. Forge L6. I have Obsidian, Freeze Gland, Feathers and Wood. I've not killed bonemass yet (these arrows are for him). Tried dropping mats, relgogging and picking up again. Nothing.

[full mesa]

Any mods?

[lucid cypress]

Yeah a few. I'll go through them if there's no in-game reason why.

[full mesa]

Theres the problem

[lucid cypress]

It was the "warfare" mod. Just t for reference if anyone else has this issue.

[clever juniper]

for that mod there is a separate table for arrows

[abstract eagle]

Fletcher's table. But honestly arrows are wasted on bone mass. At this point make a silver weapon and go full in melee

[steep tusk]

Why not just use the iron mace?

[ocean shoal]

a lil mead a lil iron hell yeah

[compact heath]

Does "Resting" buff increase Eitr regen or not?

(not "Rested") can't remember from the top of my head

[pliant merlin]

Yes, just like health, stamina and xp.

[compact heath]

thanks mate, it felt like it so think you're right, build a farm with 10 twigs for ele magic

wonder how many twigs i can fit in the fireball radius

[pliant merlin]

Try and find out 😁

[compact heath]

I will might need to farm some more ecto, got only 50 rn I think

[true steeple]

more hits dont give more xp

[compact heath]

if i hit 10 twigs instead of 1 I thought that gives more exp?

[true steeple]

with staff of embers? no

[compact heath]

oh, interesting

[true steeple]

I tested it now

[compact heath]

how you test it

ah with a low level and watching the bar?

[true steeple]

i put a bunch of twigs in a 1x1 space and reset my skill level, I got the same amount of xp as hitting one

[compact heath]

oh, well

i should use frost staff then

[tired root]

Fracturing staff could work too for T.W.I.G.s.

[compact heath]

yeah but if its same exp no matter how many you hit

we are pre queen so no fracturing

[true steeple]

fracturing staff is more total xp is every projectile hits

[compact heath]

or, let me look up ingredients

[tired root]

But if you have multiple in same spot all clusters will hit more probably.

[true steeple]

against one twig its very easy to hit all projectiles, it won't move anywhere

[compact heath]

well fracturing also has misses

[tired root]

Early Ashlands staff requiring charred bones, ashwood and proustite powder.

[true steeple]

im testing this now and not missing any
occasionally 1-2 but thats not a big deal

[compact heath]

1 twig you can't hit with fracturing afk for 10 mins though

might get through bubble

[limber canopy]

any begginer tips for the game?

[barren rivet]

listen carefully to the raven. dont spoil everything with youtube guides, find and explore blindly. play the game dont win the game.

[limber canopy]

aight if u say so

ill do it and wish for thr best outcome hah

[barren rivet]

there are a few videos you could watch like explaining structural stability of building pieces and stuff, but just dont do “top ten op weapons every biome, most surprising monsters, how to cheese every boss without really playing the game” type of bs

[limber canopy]

i mean i watched ome video and i know thqt u can get some better wood early on

[vale ledge]

Do Black Forest dungeons reset? I’m asking because I’ve made it up to the Mistlands, and I think yellow mushrooms only spawn inside dungeons.

So if dungeons don’t reset, I’m not sure if the yellow mushrooms will respawn. I feel like when I cleared everything and came back later, the mushrooms did show up again.

My question is: are mushrooms the only thing that respawns, or do dungeons actually reset? Or am I just imagining it?

[subtle parrot]

Only the yellow mushrooms will grow back

[vale ledge]

perfect thanks

[pliant merlin]

Every 4th hour

[full mesa]

Patience is key in valheim

Expect to put a few hours doing something repeatedly

[limber canopy]

yup on my first save i died in dunge9ns for line 15 tines

[sinful moth]

Does the "The wisps demand darkness" just mean I have to wait for the night? Or can you just use it at specific places?

[pliant merlin]

The night, or during rain. A steady supply would make you want to bring a few to the swamp, even if just for a few hours.

[sinful moth]

[vale ledge]

Why won’t my trees grow even though I’m leaving a 3x3 space and planting them right in the middle? This is something I’ve always done as a reference to keep enough distance between trees, with nothing around or above interfering.

I even place wooden pieces to mark the 3x3 area and center it properly. But now that I’m building a base and planting trees, I’m seeing that there’s nothing nearby, nothing above, and I’ve even removed the wood markers—and the tree still says it needs more space.

What could be interfering? I don’t get what’s causing it. I’m not sure if it matters, but I think there used to be rocks or trees in that exact spot that I already removed.

Has anyone run into this? What could be causing it? It feels really strange.

[tacit breach]

Have you gave them more space? I give them 6 meters.

[barren rivet]

if it’s in black forest could there be a stone or copper deposit underneath? did you mine copper where you planted?

they dont like rocks anywhere near them

[vale ledge]

I prefer to leave just enough space to have trees closer. No, it's in the first biome; I just discovered there was a rock underneath. I raised the terrain and didn't remove it. Thanks for reminding me; I forgot to look down before.

[tacit breach]

You can also lose a number of them when they grow if they are too close. Maybe you can avoid that by not returning until after max growth time and they all pop up together.

[full mesa]

If you have the time and dont fear HIM anymore, you could capture a troll wielding a log to make farming trees easier

Trolls are one of the few creatures that are very helpful for resource gathering

If you can capture a star variant even better but quite risky

[ashen mountain]

so how do I get signs to have bigger text but not set the letters vertically ?

[spring gulch]

You have to make multiple signs i think. Text past 15 will double column and then after whatever its single letter per column

[topaz belfry]

Is there a modifier to get the combat back to normal? I started on hard and want to bump it down to normal but the only modifier I can get on the command line script to work is either easy or hard (that I've tried)

[tired root]

World modifiers in main menu when you select world.

[topaz belfry]

Should have mentioned this is on a dedicated server, if that matters

[tired root]

Then probably someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 can grant proper help.

[muted iron]

We're streaming Valheim right now and we've got an issue. I made the mistake of throwing around 300 askvin eggs into the queen's lair and we went back once they'd grown up but the lag is so severe that the screen is black. We can hear what's going. And they did manage to kill the queen. Mods are also working fine. The game has also saved. The problem is that the screen is black and I don't dare to restart in case I can't get back into this game. Any suggestions? (katspurr on twitch btw)

[steep tusk]

That many mobs in one location add instances so high no wonder there will be lag. 👀

[pliant merlin]

Rollback server to prior this blooper.

[dreamy hearth]

Or use console commands to remove their numbers.

[timber sundial]

Is there a shiftlock/ camera lock option?

[subtle parrot]

Idk about a specific option, but you can hold the block key if you mean to turn the camera and character together

[timber sundial]

Yeah thats what i mean, i appareciate that, thank you

Heres to hoping they add a target lock feature for combat one day

[ocean shoal]

dont think thats part of the idea of the game, maybe with a mod

[near dove]

can some one helpp me

[ocean shoal]

what is the problem you are facing?

[near dove]

umm i amde a new world and im triying to load up to my old one but i ujst joined some random one with the stuff of my old one

[ocean shoal]

stuff as in inventory ? of your player

[near dove]

yeah i have all the stuff in my inventory

[ocean shoal]

you can have Multiple Worlds and also, multiple Characters

if you want to be fresh you can choose to create a new character, it will keep its Skills and Inventory no matter what world

[near dove]

but how do i join my first world ?

[strong cape]

from the world select screen. right after the character select screen

[ocean shoal]

was your first world, one you created, yourself? it should be in the world list

[near dove]

yeah i made it myself then i joined my freind so created a new charatcer and now i cant find or join my first owrld cause idk how too

[ocean shoal]

quit game, launch it again, you are forced to choose a character and a world before you play

[modern spire]

can someone explain a thing or three to me?
I've enjoyed dagger/buckler so far, and saw that fist weapons did better parrying damage and similar backstab damage
I get that backstabs are actually preemptive attacks and not always literal BACKstabs
I get that block force is what negates incoming stamina and health costs for all blocking

is parry bonus a bonus to how much more my block will negate, or is it how much more damage my attacks will do on something that is staggered via a parry/stance break?

if it's the latter, does the game only account for the main weapon, making fists better for parry damage, or both hands, making the dagger/buckler better for parry damage and block force?

[steep tusk]

What is "parrying damage"?

[modern spire]

it's what I'm believing the term "parry bonus" refers to, mostly because it feels fitting for the tropes of smaller more invasive weapons like claws and daggers

[steep tusk]

Block Armor * Parry Bonus = Block Armor when parrying

Blocking sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat and has a README section that I spent a good amount of time on.

[modern spire]

oh, thank you! I'm sure you might guess I'm new here and to the game, I really appreciate the help!

[steep tusk]

Food sheet is also pinned in that channel, and I spent a lot of time on that one too 😄

[jade olive]

I have reclaimed a lot of land form the sea I was wondering at some point would the map change to show it (or me changing it it by a command), or is it just static to what it was and never change unless major game changes occurs?

[steep tusk]

Map is static and will never change, because it's just a texture drawn from the world gen seed.

[jade olive]

OK that what I figured thank you

[safe prism]

guys wich weapon is good for kill bear? (im in iron era)

[tired notch]

axe

[tired root]

Enemies always take 2x damage while they're in their staggered animation, no matter if they were staggered by parrying or dealing enough damage to exceed their stagger limit.
Block armor is how much damage you can block from enemy hits, parry bonus multiplies the block armor while parrying, block force shows how much knockback it applies to the enemy that attacks you.

[hushed sigil]

Food for thought.

[jolly tapir]

what's the spawn criteria for silver? Is it anywhere above where obdiaisn spwans or anywhere above dragon eggs?

[tired root]

Little above the obsidian.

[jolly tapir]

gotcha thanks

Is the mistland copper different to the DF one?

#1024264966712340510

[shadow condor]

hello- any advice on how to find the plains boss? i have traveled far and wide and found 3 henges but no location yet

[rare harness]

Hello

[tired root]

Unfortunately that's what you have to continue doing - either you encounter the vegvisir or find the boss altar, usually the latter will be found first in most cases.

Boss altar has huge stone pillars in circle, looking like a huge hand closing a bit.

[shadow condor]

okay ill keep looking! thanks

[dreamy hearth]

Can always check in #1024264966712340510 to get help searching with you.
I'm at work otherwise I'd help.

[shadow condor]

thats nice of you

[vital tapir]

I also hadn't realized that the henges aren't all just giant circles of stones. I found the location at one with just 2 vertical stones and 1 connecting stone on top.

[low lagoon]

I've been using the staff of the wild lately and ik the roots spawned by it can root lock enemies but I've only ever seen it work on morgens and my summoned trolls. Does it only work on certain enemies?

[echo sparrow]

i feel like i've seen that too but not ENTIRELY sure if i am just misremembering and simply confusing 'enemies getting staggered by the damage when it reaches a sufficient percentage of their health like any other weapon, and just confusing the animations for that with the one for other jade enchanted weapons which definitely have an intended 'root on % crit chance' on hit effect' OR if it's actually doing that

it definitely IME has enough damage it seems like a few roots can 'stunlock' most enemies very effectively

[jolly tapir]

what is the point of the stonehenges, lol. Are they indestructible or just mineable rock?

[echo sparrow]

there are some indestructible features matching the description and some not i'd argue

both there for aesthetics, the latter for a source of stone if desired to mine as well

and also, there's some stonehengy type things in plains that can spawn with the vegvisir that points you to the plains boss

I THINK you were referring to the various kinds of stones that dot the meadows tho

[low lagoon]

I never see the staggered animation of the creatures but i do see the roots underneath

[echo sparrow]

yeah I don't have access to it right now, but if you playing it and seeing it I believe--like I said I FELT like I'd seen that too

but just I know well enough to reserve a bit of self-doubt as to my own recollections

[low lagoon]

Ok yea that makes sense

[echo sparrow]

i wonder if it's intended because the wiki seems to make no reference

but i could see the 'connection' as it's KINDA a jade weapon

but then, also, other staves with gem mats DON'T replicate that

like dundr ain't doing anything weird related to the HP pool that I know of (e.g. doing more damage lower in health you are)

[tropic panther]

hey, I need advice on how to turn an existing server into a paid dedicated server. Where me and my group can access it 24/7 but it’s created from an already established server with our bases already created, and stuff like that.

If any of this is even possible?

[echo sparrow]

I would also cross post the dedicated server help channel, but my understand is yes it's usually possible you just have to know how to access the specific game families which SOMEONE who you've been playing with most likely should have access to (whether they know precisely how/that they do yet or not)

i unfotunately don't know the technical specifics how to find that, then migrate it, or i'd tell you--but i'd guess your best bet is the folks in that channel, and PRETTY sure what you're describing is possible

[tropic panther]

Thanks I appreciate your response, I’ll post it in the server channel for the technical specifications.

[dreamy hearth]

It's pretty easy as long as the server host gives you access to where saves are stored. If you want to use mods, make sure you can set that up as well. Not all sites offer that while others let you touch everything.

[jolly tapir]

Do fuling shamans and berserkers ever spawn outside of villages? Something I read says they do, but I've NEVER seen a wild one outside the initial fuling village

[abstract eagle]

Shamans no, apart from raid. Berserkers yes at the stonehedge looking things

[tired root]

Shamans also in sealed towers.

[jolly tapir]

Thanks!

Also my buddy found a lake in a frost cave but where is the special pond?

[pliant merlin]

If its not a frozen lake, then thats the one.

The ponds are usually next to entrance, or very close to it. Every pond Ive found has been to the right of entrance.

[tired root]

Very few times I've had 2 small ponds in one cave. And recently found my first cave with bigger lake inside.

[pliant merlin]

Still havent found ponds during current run. Day 700 or so, and I farmed 3 fully maxed fenris-set so bad luck.

[blazing crown]

If I have a world that was created before the mist lands update, will I still be able to fight that boss?

[tired root]

Yes, when you open the old world it will automatically generate all new content added in Mistlands and other updates, including Ashlands, new traders and POIs in older biomes added in latest updates.

New content will be generated in unexplored areas. This process also shuffles locations of all existing POIs in same areas, meaning if you have location for boss altar for example and haven't visited that yet, it will move to other location.
Already explored areas stay as they are.

[woeful pewter]

how do you guys know if a mod is server side only on thunderstore? trying to get my console friend to play on our server and every time I check the website for the mod I cant seem to find anything

[sinful moth]

What's the normal way to get black marble? I picked it up one time but I think that was when smth was destroyed by mobs

[frosty frost]

You can find petrified giant skeletons throughout the mistlands 🙂 they will drop it once you mine them

[jolly tapir]

If you build a stonecutter by one of those half bridges that go up you can get some marble from that plus like 30 refined iron

Black marble is hard and goes super fast

[frosty frost]

Works on other black marble structures as well 😄 but the bridges have the benefit of iron as Henneth says

[sinful moth]

Ok thank you both

[tired root]

Black marble structures are easily destructable with battleaxes too, in case you don't have or can't find iron for stonecutter.

[sinful moth]

Could someone pls tell me if the Dvergr Tankard is worth an inventory space? I never rlly used that kind of meads so I#m not very sure how good it actually is

[tired root]

Tankards are more like vanity items, when you equip and use it you consume mead from your inventory.

[low glade]

Good as a decoration for your tables.

[sinful moth]

Oh ty for clarifying, I must have picked up some mead and didn't notice I was consuming that, kinda thought it#s an infite mead thing

[sinful moth]

Yeah I might use it for that then

[low glade]

I use it as a facing material. Most of the structures are stone and iron with grausten and black marble facades.

[spark bluff]

Good evening, I need some help. I play with my wife, but after the third boss, the monsters disappear, and the torches and items we drop on the ground don't reappear for each other. How can I fix this?

[static quartz]

A couple of questions for clarity... what do you mean when you say "the monsters disappear"... what biome? which monsters specifically? Do you see them and then they disappear as they approach you? Are you playing with mods on your game? Regarding items you are tossing on the ground for pick-up by another player, is it just torches because torches typically get used up and then disappear. Also, sometimes if your vegetation is on, it can be hard to see items tossed on the ground... additionally, if there is not a built structure/ workbench nearby, tossed items can de-spawn after some time. I may not have all the information to help you solve this... tell us more.

[spark bluff]

I'm playing with some mods, but the monsters don't disappear; they're still there, but I can't see them, only my duo can. The items my duo drops on the ground don't appear for me, and the structures they build don't appear either.

[static quartz]

Thanks for responding! So weird... I have never seen this happen. It sounds like something with the mods... check out the Help Channels #mods-issues .

[tired root]

Asking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 might help in case mods are involved.

[jade olive]

Ahh thank you that may work out better.

[elder sluice]

just finished beating the dark forest boss for the first time w a friend, and we got kinda curious as to wether the bear and troll were part of the fight as spawned in enemeys or if we just got super unlucky

[abstract eagle]

That's a chance but would be super cool if he would go underground or cover himself with protective roots and then spawn bunch of trolls 🧌

[hushed sigil]

Remind me about a boat farm - how far from ground do you place them?

[tired root]

If you mean auto breeder then over 10m.

which physical damage type are graydwarves weakest to?

[undone plinth]

hey yall, me and my girlfriend are struggling to join each others game, everytime we try, we get the failed to connect error message. What are we supposed to do?

[lapis terrace]

on what platform are you?

and her?

[undone plinth]

both of us are on pc, we have tried turning off crossplay cause I heard that could resolve the issue but it did not

[lapis terrace]

either of you use VPN?

behind the same router / modem?

using wifi?

using the same IP?

[undone plinth]

we are not in the same house so seperate ip adresses and no, we do not have a vpn

[lapis terrace]

both on steam?

[undone plinth]

ofc

[lapis terrace]

if you don't use crossplay, the one who invites the other needs to open up ports in their router for it to work

[undone plinth]

still it shouldnt matter, even before that we couldnt connect

[lapis terrace]

it does matter alot

like one is knocking on a door that doesn't have any door handle to let the other person in

just try using crossplay enabled

steam friend invite can sometimes work

[undone plinth]

alright, with a steam invite it worked now

[lapis terrace]

but if you only use steam. then the host needs to enable port forwarding

[fleet summit]

i’ve been trying to get my spawn to fix by loading save points about 2 hours before it happened and it still spawns me in the middle of the ocean. is there a fix or do i just have to go farther back

[quasi vault]

I am not sure how rolling back works but if you just roll back the character instead of the map it might work

[fleet summit]

i’ve rolled back both to 2 hours

[barren rivet]

all equal

[dreamy hearth]

Is your character being forced to the ocean even after quitting somewhere else?

[hearty sluice]

Was there some trick to make you walk smoothly up ladders or the steep grausten stairs? How did you have to build it?

[barren rivet]

if there was i would LOVE to know it, someone tag me. the best non-bunny stairs that i've made was slanted corewood in a row next to each other, you have to run up it like a steep roof piece but it works. i guess you could use actual roof pieces too if you dont mind a roof in your house aesthetically.

[glad current]

Use the one meter beams - one out, one down, to create a snap point for a second ladder that has steps between those of the first

You’ll still have a little hop at the very top where they don’t fully overlap but it’s much better

[barren rivet]

so it's a double layer of stairs with stairs between stairs? does that let you walk up it or do you have to run or what?

[glad current]

It lets you walk just like regular stairs, in the space of a ladder

[hearty sluice]

What about grausten steep stairs?

[glad current]

Haven’t tried those

[limber canopy]

do items despawn after beign dropped and the save getting reloaded?

[tired root]

Items despawn after 60 minutes when dropped on area out of spawnproof range, or over 2m deep water.

[jolly tapir]

If I throw a workbench down the stuff I drop won't depsawn right?

[tired root]

Correct.

The building radius of workbench is spawnproofed area.

[limber canopy]

how do u make paths in the game?

in early game

[tired root]

Hoe.

[limber canopy]

yea but it just removes grass and i would want an rock road

or something like that

[tired root]

Once you gain material from 3rd biome you can make new workbench that allows making road with hoe.

[limber canopy]

aight

[sharp nova]

@tired root good stamina boosting food to pair with deer meat and boar jerky?

perhaps with a fair balance of stamina and health

[tired root]

Either carrot soup or queen jelly. But personally I would switch boar jerky too to either stamina or hp food.

[hushed sigil]

I applaud how you worded this without spoiling anything.

[sharp nova]

so to be completely clear.

there's no way to make buildings out of stone until you unlock iron?

[ocean shoal]

fact

[sharp nova]

@tired root let me know if you mind the pings. what's the first tower shield after bone?

[sharp nova]

thank all 3 of you

[barren rivet]

iron tower shield, or if you can lure a serpent close to shore to get its heavy sinking scales, serpentscale shield is superior and also uses iron. i was actually thinking you might enjoy tower shields and health food given your technical difficulties, and i had the thought maybe there’s a mod for hearing impaired that would show like “troll growls” on the side of the screen if your sound is off

[past junco]

My friend hosts the server we play on. Is there a way to make it so he doesn't have to be in game and I can still play in our server?

[thin briar]

How do we change the ping button in map?

[spring gulch]

Were seagull storms added? I thought I was crazy one day but all I heard was gulls and I went outside and collected 50 feathers in 2 seconds

[sinful moth]

what's the difference between bucklers and small shields? Cause my older small shield seems to have a lot better stats than the new buckler

[full mesa]

Bucklers - are designed to parry hard hitting attacks

Rounded - are a middle ground of bucklers and tower allowing for parries but incapable of parrying stronger attacks, decent block and parry

Tower - designed to negate incoming damage all together

[true steeple]

bucklers have a high parry bonus which multiplies block armor when parrying

[true steeple]

tower shields are worst at negating damage, their block armor is lower than the parry armor of other shields in the same tier

[full mesa]

All my wordings are wrong lol, except buckler I believe

Shows how I have little experience with the other 2 shields

[sinful moth]

Ok thanks guys

[full mesa]

In general bucklers are good if you are able to parry if not better than the 2 other shields, which is why carapce buckler > flametal shield

[true steeple]

banded shield is better than bronze buckler and silver shield is better than iron buckler

flametal shield is the only round shield worse than a previous buckler

[full mesa]

The rounded are still usable if you want functionality of a buckler but want aesthetic

[true steeple]

i make banded shield for the looks

[full mesa]

But you might find yourself not being able to block "some" attacks

[true steeple]

if you don't go to mountains at night it's good enough

[full mesa]

Whats a good material to use in ashlands to make a buckler 🤔

Previous biomes used a mixture of wood and its progression metal

Wait no

[true steeple]

bell fragments

[full mesa]

Most buckler are metal

[full mesa]

I believe that'd shatter to pieces especially the fact WE FOUND THEM IN PIECES

[true steeple]

but it would ring every time you parry

[full mesa]

"Ding!"

Ngl the ring sounds the bell makes when summoning fader is hauntingly beautiful

As the music slowly ramps up to fader's theme

[viscid shell]

do ovens spread fire??? we are playing with firespread and im afraid it will burn my bakery down

[drowsy crane]

I don't believe it does, no.

[viscid shell]

awsome the great bakery fire of 26 will be on you if it happends

[drowsy crane]

At least it'll smell good if it happens. 😇

[viscid shell]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-crying-meme-doggo-crys-megan-soo-crying-dog-gif-5276199764143986284

btw if you know whats a safe lighting source if firespread is on?

[barren rivet]

i play with fire spread, only thing that ever spread for me was campfire and hearth. torches and sconces and hanging fires, fire stands from trader etc. are all safe around wood

[viscid shell]

huh cus i put a torch in a base but like kinda in the wall and it burned down

[barren rivet]

ohh you’re right actually, i did that once too, yeah they can be close just not making out with your wall. but they wont spit embers on the ground or anything

probably goes for sconces too, just put them like normal sconces not inside walls

[viscid shell]

aaa

[tough quarry]

Anyone has any tips on how to find Tetra Lakes? I am using an external map but it seems inaccurate, so far none of the frost caves I've gone to has contained a lake, or am I missing something?

[livid mortar]

As far as I know, those particular rooms are somewhat rare. Best bet is to look in as many caves as you can and hope for the best

[tough quarry]

Can they occur in Hildir's Quest's caves?

[livid mortar]

I do not know.

[tough quarry]

Considering jumping with this character to a new world, not sure if there is anything wrong with my seed

[somber nacelle]

does the iron axe do more chop damage than the ||crystal battleaxe||

[tough quarry]

Judging what the Wiki say, it is the same.

[somber nacelle]

damn

[barren rivet]

wiki actually says iron battleaxe is 40 crystal is 50

[sinful moth]

Are Hildir's Quests all about the same difficulty? I only did the sealed tower till now and the names made me assume the others are in Mistlands/Ashlands so I thought they would be harder

[tough quarry]

Dont think they have for mistlands or ashlands

But the Ashlands have their own quest, unrelated to Hildir

[sinful moth]

K, so I'd be ready for the other 2?

[tough quarry]

there is one in black forest and on in the frost cave, so I'd say so

not that I'd say should be careless

[sinful moth]

ok thank you for the help

[wraith mason]

is there any way of getting these tar that is stuck in the tar?

[true steeple]

use a pickaxe, the tar can flow

[tough quarry]

Alternatively, raise the ground with a Hoe

[wraith mason]

ok, thank u both

[tough quarry]

Ok so I tried jumping to a different world with this character, I found a Howling Cavern (Hildir's quest) and there can be Tetra Lakes in the quest cave.

So we've learned something today

[somber nacelle]

out of the ||three dungeons, which one is the hardest?: smouldering tomb, howling cavern, or sealed tower? ||

[cedar lodge]

last one for sure ||both on itself and for the|| (spoiler also for you if you never did them 👉) ||raid event it triggers if you give back the chest to Hildir||

[tough quarry]

||Sealed tower by far||

[somber nacelle]

thank you

[somber nacelle]

i ownt open it since i've never don ethem

[cedar lodge]

anyway, generally, if you're "ready" for the boss in the biome they're in you should be able to clear them

[tough quarry]

||The Howling Cavern is quite hard as well. The boss deals a lot of frost damage, one of the raids actually manged to kill me.||

[somber nacelle]

so yk || wolf set|| for the ||howling caverns? ||

[somber nacelle]

by raid do you mean the you are being hunted i've died 2/2 on that raid

[cedar lodge]

either that or the fenris yes, and not a perfect-science, just i'd stay away from them if you're in the early stage of biome

[tough quarry]

No after each of the quests, the same bosses will assault your base, with allies. Geirrhafa is pretty bad as she shows up with a bunch of cultists.

[somber nacelle]

WHAT 😭

[cedar lodge]

yeh that was the spoiler-protected thing, miniboss raids are quite vicious

[somber nacelle]

yeah i havent even entered hte || frost cave || yet until i finished all my silver farm

i keep trying my best to play it safe but i end up dying to 2 star wolves regardless bro

dying in this game is the worst thing ever

[cedar lodge]

yep those are heavy hitters, i just don't bother go out at night unless i really need trophies/tames/etc.

[somber nacelle]

well im glad i know now so i dont get surprised

[somber nacelle]

i havent tamed a single creature yet is that something i should do?

i kept trying to tame boars but they died every time i got raided by skeletons and draugers

[cedar lodge]

not necessary, but it could help, also taming no-starred boar/wolves is hardly worth the effort, and getting starred ones is rare/difficult

yeh, i always tame boars because ... wel because yes eheh, usually i prefer taming em in-loco when i find a starred ones, make a nice pen and put down just a workbench and a portal there, so it's far from base and just two base buildpieces won't trigger any raids in the area (but beware, if you put just 3 raids will trigger)

[somber nacelle]

so portal and workbench and then just walls and it wont trigger?

[cedar lodge]

yep, the rule is 3 or more player base build pieces will trigger raids, there's a wiki page that list all the structures that are considered player base, but that would be kinda spoiler for future things you can't build at your stage..

you're at mountains right?

well long story short yep, stick to portal and bench (no fires, no torches as well)

[placid kraken]

Hey

I have a quick question. I want to start my world as a host so my friend can play with me in the world but they cant join and i dont know why xD

Does anyone had a similar problem and knows on how to fix it 😄

[subtle parrot]

Are you all on steam or are some of you on xbox?

[placid kraken]

we are all on steam and i host the server via in game

[subtle parrot]

Make sure you don't enable crossplay, and then try to invite them via steam

[cinder olive]

can i craft mistwalker before Yagluth ?

[subtle parrot]

Not unless you brave the mistlands without beating yag

[cinder olive]

check

[subtle parrot]

No wait sorry, you need wisps for the mistwalker, so you do have to beat yag for sure

[cinder olive]

it looks very cool

[subtle parrot]

It's a good sword

[cinder olive]

sounds good

[tired root]

It is indeed cool. ❄️

[jolly tapir]

What's the best way to kill growths? I hate them so much....

[placid kraken]

Bro thankq for the help 😄 It works

[somber nacelle]

more inventory space would feed families bro

[subtle parrot]

I wait for them to shoot their shots, move in close and hit them with whatever weapon I'm using

[tired root]

Huntsman bow and fire arrows work well with the reduced aggro range.

[somber nacelle]

i just accidentally found || moder forsaken altar ||

[olive ocean]

just circle around them and melee, as they wont/cant attack unless looking at you

you can do that to tons of enemies

[quasi vault]

Yeah a bow and fire arrows works well so does circling them with melee as they need to face you and turn slow but do note that poison resist will significantly decrease the damage you take from them

[frail cave]

Anything anybody wish you knew when first started out on valheim?

My first week on and im addicted

[quasi vault]

List is long but those are things you learn along the way

[frail cave]

I keep dying and dont know where to start really lol I built a house

[quasi vault]

Preparation is always key, try to always have the rested buff, the best food you have active and prioritize everything that's related to food or meads

[frail cave]

The rock throwing guys i cant beat them i guess i need to play more pve and get all my crafts up before trying to leave home to far

I got about 4 hrs of gametime under my belt. About to hop back on for the night and attempt to make it back to my body 🤣 I messed up and built my first house in the black forest

[quasi vault]

Well it's good to be at least close to the black forest as you need a lot of resources from there and if you can establish a safe spot in there it's even better and will get easier as you get better and unlock better weapons, armor and consumables

[frail cave]

Awesome! Thats what i needed to hear! Now I dont need to rebuild lol I thought building there was bad but now I can see why it would be good! Anyways I won't keep you around. Thanks for the pointers!

[quasi vault]

Good luck!

[frail cave]

Ill need it...

[void otter]

When you are storing items, hold e over a chest and it will automatically store the items of like kind from your inventory into the chest. Additionally, Ctrl click on items to quickly move them from a chest to inventory or vice versa.

[frail cave]

Thats a good one! Thanks alot. Ill forsure be doing that.

[teal sun]

Is there a command that lets me bypass placement position like for example so i could build a portal inside walls or things like that?

[lapis terrace]

no

you can use the chairtrick to get inside bigger trees and build teleporters inside those

[novel current]

The Valheim Support page directed me to the server to reach out to the devs about connection and other technical issues. Am I in the right place?

[quasi vault]

If you can't place something because of a thing just remove the thing and then place the something and then rebuild the thing on top

[jolly tapir]

More or less, yep! What issues are you having? The mods are around somewhere and can probably find the culprit

[novel current]

My dad and I had put in 50-60 hours into a world I was hosting. We ran into the fail to connect issue after trying to get rolling a few dozen times over the course of a few days. Nothing we tried worked. So we decided we would start a new world and he would host because that seemed to be the most stable. I brought over a fair amount of our materials in order to give us a jumpstart and be able to repair our more advanced equipment without starting from scratch. We had about 6 hours into rebuilding, and then I had the Failed to connect message when trying to connect to our new world.

[jolly tapir]

Is it a dedicated world or do you guys just play when you're both on?

[novel current]

We just play when we are both on.

[ocean shoal]

pc ?

[novel current]

yes sir.

[jolly tapir]

Is your Steam synced up and any new updates installed?

[novel current]

No cloud connection issues. Game files verified. Updates have been checked and we are fully up to date.

[ocean shoal]

whats your 2 hardware specs, and its internet not same house right?

[novel current]

Internet and house are the same. We've put in several hours on this internet connection, so I am quite confident it is strong enough.

[tardy current]

So other then the bronze age gear and resources. Is there like. A boss im supposed to fight in the black forest or do I move on to another biome

[ocean shoal]

no i mean you are not in the same house as eachother? or do you live together

[ocean shoal]

remember the stone that gave you the location of the first boss in meadows?

[tardy current]

Yea

[ocean shoal]

there are stones of similar type, in each biome

[tardy current]

So is the black forest boss the elder?

Well crap

[novel current]

Hardware specs are as follows: 16 GB Ram: Intel Core i7-4710MQ CPU @ 2.50GHz: Graphics Card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 6GB: My dad's is upgraded from where mine is. and I do currently live with my folks.

[tardy current]

The one it marked is genuinely halfway across the map

[ocean shoal]

ok so when you join eachother, do you do start (in valheim) > join game > friends ? and did you Add Server by "join code" i think its called last time, or by add ip ?

[ocean shoal]

yeah that happens

[novel current]

The Vegvisirs always mark the closest spawn location. So that sucks. I would stock up heavily on surtling cores and be ready to build a portal and mini base as soon as you get there.

[novel current]

Yes sir. Start > Join Game> Friends list and then select the world. and start. Then it typically takes whichever of us is joining to the screen where you enter the password.

[ocean shoal]

did you use the Add Server function at least once? or is listing your friends automatically

[tardy current]

Yeah thats the plan.

[novel current]

Not once in the months we've been playing together. It has listed friends automatically.

[tardy current]

What does the elder unlock btw? Can I get iron from the swamp beforehand or is that kind of a dumb move?

[ocean shoal]

hum

[ocean shoal]

its a hard lockout you need elder loot

[tardy current]

Ok figured

I assume all the bosses and biomes are like this

[ocean shoal]

you could try to strongarm some maybe but you would never succeed as "new" player

[novel current]

Only kind of. But better to go exploring. New biomes will kill you quickly if you aren't prepared for them.

[tardy current]

I spent like 2 hours trying to save my gear from the mountains

I learned the hard way not to strong arm biomes even if I can parry

[ocean shoal]

sounds like a lovely hiking trip

[tardy current]

Lessons were learned

[novel current]

Oh golly, when I lost all my stuff the first time on my solo game, I lost it after taking a jaunt across the ocean. along with my only ship!

[ocean shoal]

im so scared of losting my ships

[novel current]

My latest strat is to have portal stuff on board with me. When I make landfall, I have one back at my main base titled Exit and pair one off to it posthaste. Then as I decide the name of the new island or base, I build in the permanent portal.

[ocean shoal]

no i mean like lost

forgor to mark on map and walked away

[novel current]

That would absolutely be awful.

[ocean shoal]

⛵

[novel current]

That all notwithstanding, do you have any other advice for me and my problem Mr. Crow?

[ocean shoal]

ah dang we crapped up the help channel

i think you gotta ask again and see if other persons can know

you can refer them the info you already typed above

[ocean shoal]

i would try restarting router also

[jolly tapir]

I know it can be worthless sometimes and everybody hates it blah blah, but maybe ask ChatGPT for common issues that cause people to fail to connect and see if any of them give you any ideas

Until a mod comes online

[novel current]

Thank you Henneth. I'll re post the initial question and just leave it up until I get a message from a moderator. I'll also check in periodically until I go to sleep.

[ocean shoal]

there is also this channel https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220

[frail cave]

When do I get the clothing necessary for mountains? I got unlucky and the second boss is in the mountains where as last time it was in black forest, do I need to go to swamps or? Also is there a way to locate nearest swamp I’ve surveyed so much and not found anything

[ocean shoal]

whats the name on the boss icon?

[frail cave]

Elder

[ocean shoal]

you will gotta walk around the mountain i guess, it will be in the black forest at least a sliver

[frail cave]

I think its supposed to be the second one cause u find the wayfinder in burial chambers

[frail cave]

Oh, I can load up on health and just rush it then, I just cant fight while constantly ticking freezing damage

[ocean shoal]

risky business, but yeah you need Elder, it will be in black forest, other one is going to be really far away if you cant do this elder spawn location

dont forget about portals and boats

[frail cave]

How do people make deep moats in their bases close to coastline, for me there is a water level like 8m down if it’s near the coast

[ocean shoal]

i wouldnt worry about that stuff but sometimes raising sometimes fluid drainage to somewhere else then raising/digging
its not needed overall

[frail cave]

I got minor health potions should be enough

[ocean shoal]

1 wolf pack will got you 🐺

[frail cave]

I always do moats cause I’m lazy when it comes to repairing

[ocean shoal]

i dunno if its possible to do it all the way without raising near coast line i like to build near coast as well

[frail cave]

For swamps, which I assume is the next biome after black forest what weapons should I have?

I currently have two bronze polerarms, two in case the first one breaks for bosses and long expeditions, one abyssal razor, one bronze club, one bronze shield, finewood bow with 100-200 bronze arrows

The bronze club is supposed to be better against skeletons but they’re all so weak it doesn’t matter so unsure if I should rethink my weapon choices, for black forest polearms seem to be king especially against bears and trolls

[subtle parrot]

Keep the bronze mace, upgrade to the next tier mace when it's available after you've gotten through some crypts. Mace is one of the best weapons against the swamp boss. If you have the Early Axes, i like those they work pretty well throughout the swamp as well, imo. You can certainly still use the polearms if that's what you like, nothing wrong with that. But they're not great against the boss. Nothing wrong with switching up weapons for a new biome, it can be useful even.

Bows are valid in any biome

[jolly tapir]

An abyssal razor + mace and bronze buckle should be just fine!

[frail cave]

I just use whatever is functional I don’t have a specific weapon type, but I do prefer something that can be combined with shield which is the one negative I have with polearms

So blunt damage is good in swamps? What about stagbreaker?

I also have a copper sword I never used

[jolly tapir]

Yes blobs, oozez, leeches (?) and the swamp boss are weak to blunt damage

[subtle parrot]

Stagbreaker can still be useful in the crypts i think some people use it

[frail cave]

Tried the bear paw weapon didn’t really work for me

[subtle parrot]

I really liked the bear paws myself

[frail cave]

Maybe im just in the wrong biome for them I feel like slash damage doesn’t do much, maybe I just need to level up, pierce has been everything in black forest for me

[subtle parrot]

Yeh they weren't necessarily as effective as other weapons, but in my last playthrough I used them up until mountains after the swamp. Other than making a mace for the boss fight. Then upgraded to the mountain fist weapon.

[frail cave]

How exactly does sneak work? My current issue (low sneak level) is that when im not detected and sneaking they will just walk directly towards me with no knowledge of me being there even if im completely quiet and not moving, does leveling up sneak prevent that? Cause it feels like it’s not detection screwing me over its just them knowing where I am at all times even when not aggroed

[lone ether]

Just parry

[subtle parrot]

Higher sneak level does make you a bit more stealthy, if you see them coming towards you that means you're within their hearing range if you look at them they'll have a warning thing over their head, you can still shoot them with a bow for higher damage before they notice you

[frail cave]

Does leveling up sneak decrease their hearing range? Or is there armour that does that

[subtle parrot]

It just makes you harder to hear within their range i think, troll armor increases sneak

[tardy current]

Time to sail the seas on a boat

Because the closest elder spawn is freaking ACROSS THE MAP

And its against wind

Nvm

Wind shifted lets go.

[glad current]

LOL the eternal struggle

[tardy current]

Also drove back a sea serpent pretty easy

Which is awesome

Almost to the Elder

And the wind died

Can this wind pick a direction

[ocean shoal]

just paddle a bit its no big deal

[tardy current]

Ik. Still annoying

[glad current]

until another serpent pops up to say howdy

[tardy current]

Made it to land tho. And neat its next to a swamp

[ocean shoal]

if you can follow the coast it okay

[tardy current]

And im greeted to a troll.

Awesome.

Ok its dead

Time to set the portal down and head home and link them

[tardy current]

So how do i summon the elder

Cause I have no idea what Burn their young implies

[barren rivet]

burn their young

[glad current]

what is a young tree?

[tardy current]

So ancient seeds?

[barren rivet]

see that was easy! XD

also now look on top of the pillars

[tardy current]

Oh

[barren rivet]

kids today they give up too quick lol

[tardy current]

I looked at the thing. I just figured the seeds for for yk.

Farming

[barren rivet]

i remember you had to wait until school on monday to ask your friend on the bus how to summon the boss, so we had to try and try ourselves

[tardy current]

Alright. Not about to deal with the back in my day stuff again.

[glad current]

Or wait for the tips & tricks magazine to be published

[tardy current]

Iv beaten every Zelda game to date without a guide. The hint was extremely vague cause I didn't realize greydwarfs are plant people

I assumed they were just

Evil Dwafs

[barren rivet]

well you shouldve read the runestones about them!

[tardy current]

I haven't found one that mentions them

[barren rivet]

aw, that sucks, it’s awesome very poetic and creepy

it also tells you how they fear fire and stuff

[tardy current]

That i know from experience

They flee from torches

[barren rivet]

its long but this is like 1/3 i love the lore stones

When the soul of a murderer or a great sinner rots under the ground, it makes a hollow cyst which draws rock and wood and moss to it. It gathers up the peat into flesh, braids reeds into bone and takes rags for skin.

It should not walk but when the night comes it walks. Should you who read this see one with a sword to your hand, lance it and let it out. Or put it to the torch, for it fears the flame.

creepy AF. i remember finding it early my first playthrough i was like ok so sleeping immediately every night!

[tardy current]

Ok he hurts.

Maybe an axe will work better

[barren rivet]

i found 2 axes even better than 1

[tardy current]

Iv been unlucky and haven't found the dual axes in this world

Good lord the roots are annoying

Got him 👍

First try

[jolly tapir]

The Draugr runestone is my favorite. I love their lore its my favorite in the game. Thought about writing a short story about them. It reminds me a lot of how the Dwarves in LotR got greedy and dug so deep in Moria they awake the Balrog lol

[drowsy crane]

Is this a question or?

[jolly tapir]

Nope. Just responding to the conversation about runestones immediately above it.

[drowsy crane]

Ah yes, had to scroll to see those 2 hour old messages.

[jolly tapir]

Is it possible for higher raids, like Seekers, to attack before the Queen has been defeated? I never realized there was a chance for that...

[manic gyro]

The seeker raid is unlocked by defeating yagluth

[sinful moth]

Sometimes seekers and soldiers seem to be weak to frostner damage, is that because of the rain?

[true steeple]

rain doesn’t make enemies wet but water can

[sinful moth]

And being wet makes them weak to frost?

[true steeple]

yes, and weak to lightning but resistant to fire

[rapid mountain]

Question; does the increased damage and regeneration of the vile bone armor still applies if worn seperately albeit slightly or only if all 3 complete set is worn

[full mesa]

You need to wear full set for the bonus to apply

[sharp nova]

which weapons are gonna make the heavy attack sounds versus bears?

paws of the bear seem to, knives definitely don't, not sure about axes

[tired root]

Any slash weapon works well.

[sharp nova]

i believe the heavy attack sounds come from landing hits in succession after stunning?

that's why it happens with lesser graydwarves and knives so often

and not greater graydwarves

[final meadow]

I'm starting to dabble in Mead, but I think I'm doing something wrong. It seems to take forever to actualy drink the stuff, unless I can fully disengage, and if I can do that, I barely need it.

[wraith mason]

whats the best method to farm rock

[fleet summit]

yes sorry for late response i was on a trip

[barren rivet]

hehe i think i know what you mean, when the bear sounds like you really hurt him. i think its hits that are a certain amount of his hp, happens on the final hit of a combo whether it’s the 3rd hit from a bronze axe or the 5th hit from early axes

[barren rivet]

true, and it can be very dangerous, they can kill you while drinking or there are certain animations like rolling if you roll exactly as you finish drinking it locks you into this 5 second slow motion roll. i’ve also been staggered while drinking which made my stagger this slow motion crazy long stagger. you’re not crazy or doing it wrong, you do need to dash away and chug, still very useful if you want to keep fighting.

[sharp nova]

i'm not sure if i'd phrase it that way, more like

the sleecy slicey sound of swords clashing, not any sound the bear makes in being hurt

[barren rivet]

do you just mean the noise when you crit something? that happens any time you hit something staggered

[sharp nova]

i think that's what i mean yeah

does anything stagger the bear besides its own clause?

[barren rivet]

oh, thats just you dealing crit damage, anything staggered takes crit damage, even you

[sharp nova]

wait is that why i hear crits while wearing claws

[true steeple]

you stagger enemies by parrying them or dealing enough damage in a short time. some attacks have a stagger multiplier to do this faster

fist secondary has 6x staggering

[barren rivet]

the claws are the weaker attack that is more possible to parry, but assuming you have the block armor and max hp any of his attacks can be parried to stagger him

[sharp nova]

when i say "his own claws" i mean Claws Of The Bear held by me

[true steeple]

there's nothing special between those and the bear enemy but because they are fist weapons they have a high-stagger secondary attack

[barren rivet]

oh lol. not really for black forest stuff, maybe the bronze club? hang on wiki-ing

[true steeple]

players don't take increased damage when staggered
the effects still play though

[barren rivet]

so the bronze mace secondary is 175 stagger whereas bear claws are 150, so if you’re staggering the bear by attacking it mace is also an option

[true steeple]

don't they resist blunt?

[barren rivet]

ohrly?? huh. guess it just feels like i get crit lol

[barren rivet]

yeah ur right

weeeee double wrong for yacko! 🤪🙃

[sharp nova]

i feel like your confidence is still inspiring ☺️

as well as your joy in the face of failure

[final meadow]

So it's a skill issue. That's the worst kind of issue. 😂 Thanks for the info.

[barren rivet]

haha no not even skill issue its a janky thing to drink no judgment here

[weary socket]

I need help. I spawned in where my base should be, in the middle of a forest. There is nothing anywhere. No structures, mobs, stones, anything. I do not use mods, and the most I've used devcommands is to use camera freefly and to remove dropped items. What do I do?

I sent a screenshot to the screenshots chat.

Do I need to make load a previous save? Is there a way to save my progress?

[barren rivet]

are you under/inside the elder spawn right now or where did the elder spawn go? that pic is so weird

or why arent there any trees or anything?

[subtle parrot]

Likely a bad save

Did the game crash recently before this happened?

[weary socket]

Nope. It was running fine yesterday. I logged out above the elder's spawn in the fortress I have built over it.

I ran to the burial chambers nearbye, they are gone as well.

[barren rivet]

all the trees were deleted too?

[weary socket]

It's a private world as well, so no griefing.

[barren rivet]

its as if your world is stuck partially loaded with only basic terrain

[subtle parrot]

You'll likely have to go into your world save files in game and load a previous save from before this incident

[weary socket]

My terraforming is gone too. It's like everything reset to the original unexplored version with nothing around.

How do I load a previous world save?

[subtle parrot]

Go to the world select menu and hit the button for manage saves

Drop down the list of backups for that world and load/restore the one that looks the most complete, should have several MB of data, if it says the save is only some kb, then it's likely also a corrupted save.

[weary socket]

It worked, thank you!

[naive badger]

how come every community server has a password

Because they're community servers, not general public. The servers LFG page can help you find one with group you vibe with

[naive badger]

ok

[normal ingot]

did an update make stone floors count as roofs now?

[somber nacelle]

whats the point of defeating the || minibosses||

[drowsy crane]

Completing a quest for Hildir

[somber nacelle]

is that something i should prioritize cuz im probably going to die and i hate dying in ts game

[drowsy crane]

It's your choice

[mighty zephyr]

is 43k zdo active normal in a valheim world?

[sharp nova]

turn down your death penalties in your world settings if this isnt your first playthrough

i believe devs actively encourage this option for discourages players

[somber nacelle]

doesnt that lowk ruin the experience

[drowsy crane]

Hating dying is an excellent motivator.

[sharp nova]

if it's not your first playthrough it doesnt ruin anything

might even make it better

[compact heath]

The world modifiers are there to help you, even if its your first time playing through, if you are not having fun because death penalty or raids etc or combat difficulty don't feel fun to you even after trying to overcome it for some time, then just use the world modifiers. (I do acknowledge that for first play through for most players its recommended to leave everything on default)

[jade olive]

It's been this way for a very long time now that I know of. They are thick enough so rain can't come in.

[normal ingot]

an here I've been still fusing roofs in the middle. lol

[compact heath]

Been roofs since Feb 2021 or longer, thats when I started playing.

[somber nacelle]

tell me about it bro 😭 even though i still make the same stupid mistakes

im just getting mad for free

[sharp nova]

you paid money for this game to get mad

[somber nacelle]

precisely

[iron talon]

Do you have to start a new session when the winter biome coming?

[glad current]

Only if you've already explored the existing Deep North, then the update won't refresh explored areas

[iron talon]

Okay thanks.. just dont go far up deep north then

Any news about the new update?

Release date

[tired root]

No release date announced yet.

[steep tusk]

Basically stay out of the top 20% and you'll be more than fine. 👍

[glad current]

Did something happen on the interwebs today? Seems like a lot more people than usual asking about release dates.

[steep tusk]

Your fault. 😉

[jolly tapir]

Is a moat/trench around my Plains base realllyyy neccesary........it's so problematic

[subtle parrot]

No update, they just are.. have been for a few years anyways

[ashen mountain]

Raised ground works. But thats at the cost of a lot of stone (like one of the large rocks in the biome

[subtle parrot]

I mean, it's not really necessary around any base unless you want to do it tbh

[jolly tapir]

Oh no, a stone castle and here I need more stone 🤣 But is player raised ground indestructible?

[ashen mountain]

Yes raised ground isn't destroyable.

If it's thick enough nothing can swing through it either I believe or see you for that matter. - It also lets you trench inside if you build a circle/square as the foot of the base and lets you have an underground storage area if done right. I could show you.

[drowsy crane]

Not at all. In fact, it breaks pathing completely so you will never get to utilize base defense techniques. You might as well turn off raids and switch off enemy aggression.

Utilizing walls, wards, perimeter fencing/watchtowers, tames, Ballista, and spikes are much more satisfying. Learning to master defenses makes base building in rougher terrain much less daunting.

[trail imp]

so i haven't been on this server in a while and just randomly recieved a warning for breaking rules whats going on with that?

[jolly tapir]

Read over the rules and try and remember if you may have broken one accidently I guess

Is there a list of items that repress spawning?

[abstract eagle]

You probably asked when they realease 1.0 😂

[glad current]

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

[jolly tapir]

OH IT'S THE PORTAL NO WONDER HALF MY SURTLINGS WON'T SPAWN XD 😭 Thank you so much madam 😂

[tired root]

Probably better send DM to @lofty orchid if you want to request the reasoning for the warning.

[trail imp]

yeah or just ignore the warning since i dont care just puzzled me why some bot is telling me im breaking rules on a server i had never even sent a message in

[vast gorge]

is there a date announced for the 1.0 release?

[jolly tapir]

Is it possible for a surtling spawner to only ever spawn 2 surtlings? I moved my portal and brazier over.....it should definitely be far enough but only 2 spawn and they spawn a full minute apart 😭

[subtle parrot]

I think most spawners like that only allow for 2 spawns within a 20m radius of the spawner, or something like that

@jolly tapir

[somber nacelle]

how many meters is the world?

bro why is there so much content in ts game im barely at || Moder ||

[compact heath]

Its amazing and also great replayability, but you only have 3 more biomes now to progress through after Moder for your first play through. I replay often for exploration of finding really cool biome borders and islands and POI combinations and also trying out different weapons and playstyles!

[lapis terrace]

sorry but no. it will be out when it's ready for it

[compact heath]

no rush 🙂

[lapis terrace]

No rush being done 🫡

[jade rapids]

I really hope this game launches on the premisses of the developers, and not someone "higher up" that needs to hit a number in a spread-sheet. We see soooooo many examples the last few years, of how NOT to do it...
And so far, my penny are on IronGate; Silence, until certain.

[sharp nova]

what's the knife above copper knife?

[steep tusk]

Copper > Abyssal Razor > ||Silver|| > ||Blackmetal|| > ||Skoll and Hati||

[sharp nova]

gotta look out for abyssal razor. thanks. not gonna click on the spoiloz

[steep tusk]

👍

[sharp nova]

thank you for spoiloing

[steep tusk]

You need to sail to find the Abyssal mats.

[somber nacelle]

if there was a silver atgier i feel like it would be perfect what is POI?

[nova kindle]

Point of Interest

[vale ledge]

Why is it that when building a base in Valheim, my friend with a somewhat old PC can run the game fine at 60 FPS, but in a modified area with a base it drops to 30–40 FPS?
Does RAM have a big impact on that? Or do you know if they’re going to update it?

[nova kindle]

Valheim is mostly CPU bound. The more build items (instances) in your base, the more calculations have to be done making it harder for the computer.

[vale ledge]

And do you know why that uses more CPU instead of the GPU, which is more powerful?

[noble tapir]

are the early axes only meadows chests in the tall buildings?

[gloomy pebble]

It IS still confirmed 2026 though, right? Alongside PlayStation?

[lapis terrace]

we only cofirmed Nintendo Switch 2 and Playstation 5 release for 2026

The 1.0 release will be when it's finished

[gloomy pebble]

Ahhhhh, I misunderstood then! Thank you! It’s going to be exciting. I’m still on my first playthrough and just recently found Moder. Love the game!

[lapis terrace]

alot of people missunderstand 🙂
but it's alright

[subtle parrot]

No, that's only one of the axe heads, you'll need to find a chest in one of the smaller triangle buildings

[lapis terrace]

even some playstation gamers didn't know playstation rescently allowed Early Access titles on their platform

[gloomy pebble]

Oh? Like they can play and join people already?

I need to look into this.. lol

[icy hedge]

Does anybody know if twig gives as much XP as mobs do

I have been trying to figure that out but not even the wiki says anything about it

[drowsy crane]

It does yes

[icy hedge]

Thanks

[lapis terrace]

No no no
We need to release it on Playstation later this year först 😅

But you will have full crossplay

[gloomy pebble]

Thank you for clarifying! 😁

[lapis terrace]

[gloomy pebble]

Are we allowed to ask about people’s experiences with 3rd party hosting sites for dedicated servers? I didn’t want to accidentally advertise anything.. just looking for people who have used it

Tough to play with friends when our times don’t line up always

[lapis terrace]

You can always ask down in #dedicated-server channel for tips on hoasts.

[remote coral]

How to get bear trophy? Why chance isn't 10%???
In me previous world I killed around 20 bears for 1 trophy and thought that was unluck
But now, in new world I killed 18 bears and there is no trophy(
I need it in 2 crafts and they're really powerful

[true steeple]

it is a 10% chance, you’re getting unlucky

[abstract eagle]

I'm having similar issue. How's 10% calculated when to @remote coral point you kill 20 and no trophy. Is it just 10% per so you could kill a 100 and never get a trophy? Vs hey you killed 9, next one is guaranteed

[true steeple]

a kill count would be so much better than chance

[abstract eagle]

Maybe something like kill count increases your chance by 1 % till you get a trophy then it resets

[cinder timber]

why am i locked at 72 fps when my monitor is 144

[remote coral]

I know
but if you calculated that is chance to get trophy on 17 kills or earlier is 0.1 + 0.9x0.1 + 0.9x0.9x0.1 ...... = 83%
It's not 100%, but I face it twice

[lapis fern]

is black metal a scam?

[abstract eagle]

Totally, it's green and where the hell fulings get it from

[glad current]

Fulings are also green and perhaps one shouldn’t ask questions…

[lapis fern]

nah but like should I make a black metal sword if I got a maxed out silver one?

[tired root]

It's up to you, it deals more damage against fulings for sure.

[lapis terrace]

Black metal is poop from the living animals....

[glad current]

That begs a whole host of new questions! Like why do fulings keep it in their pockets then?

[remote coral]

another 6 bears and nothing)))))

[lapis terrace]

You know how you loot draugrs. And they drop instine?
