[true steeple]

dont quit now 🎰

[lapis terrace]

You loot their insides 😇

[true steeple]

if you have found haldor there's a bug currently that makes his bear rug destructible when you reload the area. it always drops a bear trophy

[remote coral]

reload?

anyway I didn't find him

[true steeple]

the first time you approach his camp it isn't destructible, you have to leave the area and come back

otherwise i'd assume it's intended

[remote coral]

only the rug?
thanks

[true steeple]

you should also be able to break the campfire but that's less valuable

[winged juniper]

Valheim have crossplay?

i want to play with my friend who is playing on xbox

[subtle parrot]

Yes you should have the option to enable it when you start your world as a server so your friend can join

[winged juniper]

yupp, thx so much

[cinder olive]

Whats the best way to find the plains or Stonehenge

[subtle parrot]

Sailing around coasts in a longship

[dreamy hearth]

Need to toss the carts onto something when going the distance.

[abstract eagle]

Please don't realese 1.0. I just read that finishing a video game can trigger "post-game depression" 🫥

[steep tusk]

How?

[compact heath]

you can avoid by starting a new playthrough, new map and char, different weapons used etc, works for me!

[drowsy crane]

Or they can just not play anything! 😄

[steep tusk]

If having a great experience makes you depressed, please talk to a professional about why you continually choose to be sad.

[pliant merlin]

And then there are the rest of us, who from experience have been through this before. We’re now sitting with “pre-post game depression,” because we know it’s coming, so we’re already there.

[pliant merlin]

Its like when you take kids to Disneyland. Theyre all good, right up to that point when its time to leave lol

[steep tusk]

So people need to grow up? 🤔

[pliant merlin]

Or maby not care so much, its a game - its not life itself.

[lapis terrace]

people need to go back to 1995 and be nice to other internet people

[smoky thicket]

i do that anyway

[lapis terrace]

"oh hello fellow traveler, so nice to see you"

[smoky thicket]

why be mean when you can be nice

[lapis terrace]

https://giphy.com/gifs/christian-bale-agree-nodding-Hq4DYXhDkEvHW

[steep tusk]

I mean I would like to think I do care. I just take the positive experience for what it is and then move forward instead of dwelling on the negative. 🤷‍♂️

[pliant merlin]

Yes, thats a nice and very wise strategy, unfortunately it doesn't work for all 😂I think we need to dig deeper in the psychology to understand the entire thing.
It’s about how dopamine works with expectation.
Dopamine isn’t just pleasure, it’s anticipation.
When you look forward to something, dopamine rises. During the experience, it peaks. Afterward, it drops, which can feel like a “crash.”.

Most people deal with that in a healthy way and find something new. Some others, are too emotionally bonded and will feel only emptiness.

[tired root]

Me going back to "go go ga ga" phase.

[steep tusk]

Dopamine Trinket when? 😏

[sharp nova]

i'm really glad some of the dev team members have high opinions of The Muppets

[subtle parrot]

Travelers is a good show

[pliant merlin]

Any day now, just not on a saturday. That we're sure of 😅

[lone blade]

hey i just started the game and i defeated the first boss, my problem is that theres only 1 burial site with only 4 surtling core inside, i cant progress without the other 6, someone please help me

[jolly tapir]

Just keep exploring you'll find others

[lone blade]

ive explored everything i can explore

[spring gulch]

You also only need 5 technically

You gotta build a raft *** ty

[ocean shoal]

yeah sounds like boat time

[barren rivet]

pro tip once you find 5 you can make the kiln and make charcoal, then deconstruct it and make the kiln you dont NEED 10 to get your first metals

[lone blade]

youre right

[thin briar]

So are sausages really made from zombie intestines :wokege:

[ocean shoal]

did you not make some yourself? 🤔

[thin briar]

I was gobbling it up until today when I realised

[ocean shoal]

a zombie body is just keeping the bits fresh, no worries

its the brain which is infected

[lone blade]

whats the best bronze weapon?

[jolly tapir]

Probably atgeir

[compact heath]

depends on situaton, several are good, the atgeir is the best bronze weapon with an aoe attack secondary (middle mouse button on PC)

the sword is great too generally for some targets, also the mace has a place, especially pre getting the next metal in the next biome, its easier if you have a good mace (Valheim has a lot of rock paper scissors in terms of what damage to use against which mob)

[steep tusk]

Spear. Obviously. 😏

(Sword would have the highest points in the "best" column tbh)

[compact heath]

There are also 2 weapons which are not bronze, but can be gotten early, either before or after killing first boss (Early Axes and a very powerful knife much better than copper knife - slight spoilers on how to get them if I explain)

also the bronze axe is the best bronze weapon if you also want to have something to cut trees and not use another inventory slot for another weapon haha, as it is for woodcutting and can also damage things, its not as efficient for fighting as others though (its all situational)

[abstract eagle]

Best bronze weapon ? Cultivator or Krom 😂

Also didn't realize my comment on depression will raise so much support. Thanks, I'm okay. It's others I worry about when we finally get 1.0. Hope they will continue with important updates like ocean biome as was intended in the original roadmap ... we need Kraken and ocean dungeon. And more mini bosses.

And oars for Odin sake

[stoic trench]

Ocean dungeon would be cool, not sure about kraken though.

[full mesa]

Would be too difficult honestly

Because once you drop in the water

oop bye bye gear

[abstract eagle]

Gear floats in your dead body. Ocean dungeon would be like an entrance on top of Leviathan. Kraken could be just squid wrapping around your boat and you gotta hack off tentacles before it crushes the boat. But yeah .. pretty stressful

[full mesa]

getting back your gear could be difficult especially if the kraken is just camping the damn tombstone

[azure olive]

i need help with building i wanna make a house

[pine wedge]

heyo, anyone know how to fix the volume resetting to max everytime i open the game?

[abstract eagle]

Four walls and a roof is a good start

[vast gorge]

id hope so...

[jolly tapir]

Can someone check out my post in #building-screenshots please? Thank you 😄

[abstract eagle]

It's off somewhere. Probably aligned to the outer frame of stone, try to realign but locking it to the floor piece

[jolly tapir]

Okay I'll try! It's bothering me them being like that lol

[abstract eagle]

100% I have same ocd

[lapis terrace]

@vast gorge Oh it will be 😎

[slim bluff]

Something up with the save function .. my game won't save ... no mods ... vanilla never loaded a mod. Something weird up with my game ... I can't seen to save it. No matter how many times I manually save the game if I exit out and come back it returns me to the last saved spot ... I have 7K + hours I have checked everything just started today ... did something new pop up or am I missing something ... files verified started a new game, ran around for 10 minutes exited out and when I went to restart I flew in again ... whats up ??

[lapis terrace]

filled harddrive?

problems with cloud saves?

[ornate finch]

Check last paragraph in Section1:Point5 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/uq9b8x/my_valheim_is_crashing_fix_for_crash_guide/ (about how to remove .stmp saves).

You have a corrupted save file atm (due to a crash) that needs to be removed so you can save properly.

[fair lotus]

Does anyone know why when I look at a sign all I see is "..." while when other players on the same server look at the sign they see the correct text there? The server doesn't use any mods that would affect signs. I used to see the text, then recently every sign from other players shows "...". If I create my OWN sign, the text displays ok

I have validated my game files through Steam and they are fine

[lapis terrace]

never seen that before 🤔

[fair lotus]

Yeah it's got me (and others on the server) stumped! The internet search was no help, so thought I'd try the experts on Discord

Then THEY were no help, so I came to this channel. 😂

[ocean shoal]

are all them players involved, on pc/steam ?

[compact heath]

even if the mods are not doing anything to signs, they could still have a weird interaction causing your issue #mods-issues

[fair lotus]

I believe all players are on PC yes

[fair lotus]

Could be, but the mods are standard for everyone on the server so it'd be weird that only I have the issue.

[compact heath]

is it a server you can connect to with 0 mods enabled or not?

[fair lotus]

no, there are mandatory mods required for everyone

[compact heath]

bugger means you can't test it like that

you could try reinstalling all the mods from scratch

[fair lotus]

yeah, could be worth a shot, in case one of them got corrupted locally. Thanks, I'll try that

[compact heath]

also potentially if you can be bothered back up all your world and char saves in the cloud and locally, and completely uninstall valheim cleanly, restart pc, then re-add mods, you could also try veryfying game files

[fair lotus]

Yeah, not sure I can be bothered going through all that...I'll just live without reading the signs if that's required!

[rain maple]

guys is squadnox good for server hosting?

[lapis terrace]

could ask in #dedicated-server

someone might know something about them

[sinful moth]

I wanna start trying out to fight with magic, what food combos would you reccomend?

[frosty frost]

I personally like EES 🙂

[sinful moth]

K I'll try that, thx

[tired root]

After defeating Mistlands boss you gain access to feast which grants some extra eitr. Given you've found Bog Witch.

Then EEF is nice too.

[sinful moth]

Oh nice, ty for the info

[thorn pike]

So this is probably a extremely stupid question, but I am gonna ask it anyways...

• Player Based Raids: Is that souly based off each player? So for example - If we have one player that has silver and a few in bronze.. Will the player with Silver experience more difficult NPC Raids versus the one still in bronze?

[drowsy crane]

It is based on the world being played in, not the players.

[thorn pike]

Hmmm, okay. I only ask cause I had 1 player get a surtling raid and the rest haven't.
No one that we know of has fought bonemass, so we were just trying to figure it out. Thank you!

[drowsy crane]

It seems someone has fought bonemass

[thorn pike]

That's what I had thought myself. We just can't figure out whom lol.

[earnest oracle]

If player based raids are on and only one player has had that raid, then they are the culprit for sure.

Player based raids are flagged based on what the character has done, and it can be in any world, not just the one you are on.

It's possible the player took that character to a different world where they picked up a wishbone or the bonemass power. I'm pretty that will unlock the raids even if they didn't actually defeat bonemass.

[thorn pike]

Awesomesauce! I appreciate it so much! Like I said, dumb question I am sure but I was wondering why the heck!

[spring gulch]

Id like to add it is said if you cheese and obtain something that requires a boss item to get like silver, the exploration and the item will trigger progression and one doesnt need to necessarily kill a boss to have higher raids. Can someone confirm this to be true or false?

[quasi vault]

I really don't think it's true for any item except boss drop or activating their power

[spring gulch]

I was on a server of 3, none of us killed bonemass but we got drake raids. 2 of us had a silver weapon. Theres no other way in that case but I had to really dig for why it happened and i just wanted to confirm

[quasi vault]

In my experience when that happens it's because someone went in with an existing character or switch worlds after to activate bonemass. I played on a server where we were supposed to have new characters and had the They were bros, man! event trigger from someone on meadows gear

Level 3 flint knife vs starred fuling and berserkers was interesting

[spring gulch]

Im aware of the world keys being adopted by a character loading in but the host was very responsible and had many backups in which we used a couple times because I logged in with the wront char

[quasi vault]

It wouldn't make sense and people would be aware if it's the case, it's so common to pick up blackmetal for exemple early and it would never trigger plains raids

[spring gulch]

Well if you do some searching it does say what im saying is accurate but thats an ai giving me info so it could be reddit "vibes" and there isnt much explicit detail about the "points" that go to triggering it (how much silver, does it need to be smelted etc) and things like this ruin servers so I want to know for sure and not go on vibes lol

[quasi vault]

Lmao AI, it seems you are convinced it's true so there's nothing anyone can do

[steep tusk]

You've never gone to i'mright. com to get sources for your side of something? 😏

[quasi vault]

Wouldn't need to anymore you can just type your belief into AI generating random answers and it will reinforce your false beliefs

[abstract eagle]

For all we know Compliant Civilian is AI bot. What is real anymore ? Member days when people got outside to talk to people ?

[steep tusk]

Yes. And we need data centers to suck all available drinking water up so we can continue our path of right-ness! 😁

[spring gulch]

It was a simple question and your answer was "I think." If you dont know you dont know XD a lot of people dont (including me)

[quasi vault]

I'll admit ''I really don't think it's true'' opened the door for uncertainty unlike that AI, I'll try to do more like AI and act as if it's factual even if it's wrong

really
/rē′ə-lē″, rē′lē/
adverb
In actual truth or fact

The uncertainty was quite small though

[spring gulch]

Yeah so I asked someone to tell me if it was true or not, not what they thought about it

[quasi vault]

I added a X to the question

[abstract eagle]

Yes, I can confirm. Raids are triggered by exploration not boss kills

[spring gulch]

Someone who isnt lying lol

[quasi vault]

I have to assume it was just a test to observe the extent of your desire to be right and not accept the only possible scenario of what caused that raid which I said above, and you failed it

This is an irrelevant issue but it sadden me that people do the same thing about important and impactful beliefs

[tacit breach]

Bonemass would like a word with you.

He triggers a few.

The wiki details all of them.

[tired root]

Not only a few, but the most amount. Including You are being hunted which everyone loves.

[hushed sigil]

I enjoy the surtling cores delivery event.

You are being hunted last time triggered while I was inside a silver vein so they all hopped down to say hi

[quasi vault]

Started doing bonemass once I have silver, the pelt really helps to make that armor without having to spend too much time in the mountain and that raid is much easier to defeat in the plains with the help of everything around you

I also keep that power available for that raid to allow me to mess up a bit

[bitter verge]

Can anyone give me a tip on how to find the large plains because I need to find a yaghult?

[tired root]

Just exploring? When sailing try find large fairly leveled terrain with just birch trees in sight.

[abstract eagle]

uh oh

[wraith mason]

hello, is there an op method to farm rock in valheim? i need a lot for my project and since is my first time playing the game i dont know that much

[jolly tapir]

Lowkey AI isn't wrong it's still human beings that are wrong posting on the places it grabs information from 😂

[jolly tapir]

Bring a stone cutter to the stone structures in the black forest and plains. Also the towering rock pillars are GREAT for stone in the Plains just mine the bottom and down they come. Also, keep track of the rock you collect when mining for metals

[wraith mason]

Oh, i can break stone structures? thanks that will help a lot for sure

i will farm that plus plains rocks lets see how it goes, ty

[jolly tapir]

Actually check the video someone posted in memes and clips lol. That's that plain rocks.

But yes anything that is made of patterned stone you can just destroy with the hammer and a stone cutter

[brisk hazel]

if i trap a 2 star deer near my base will it say there forever?

[subtle parrot]

Unless something kills it, probably

[brisk hazel]

cheers

[rugged leaf]

From the experience I have yes.

[compact heath]

as Froboscis said yes, with the exception it might die from a raid event

[sour flame]

Does anyone have any recommended mods for a player who mostly wants QOL or vanilla-based mods?

Unsure if this is the appropriate channel sorry if not.

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might have an answer 😄

[sour flame]

Thank you!

[jolly tapir]

Are there any tips for finding pet rocks :'( I have been scanning the ground so hard I have a headache lol

[tired root]

Try finding the clearing POI instead.

Which is this:

[jolly tapir]

I have know I am looking lol. I found that and 2 wild pet rocks in my other world but I can't find either in this one 😂

[tired root]

Works like trader locations: has 10 possible locations on world and the first loaded in will spawn it and disable the rest of the other locations.

[tired root]

Ah. Well, searching from black forests.

[compact heath]

It has a minimum height above water, not sure how high exactly but if its only 3m or so above the water level it cannot spawn, that helped me find the rocks sometimes. Still rare to find though really.

[pliant merlin]

Ive been looking for that for a while now. Sharing my server with others and maby theyve passed it and didnt notice.
That thought kinda crossed my mind.. 🤔 If so, someone's getting thoroughly probed.

[tired root]

Is it in older world? For some reason they were not added in forced genloc which means they are not added in older worlds automatically upon opening the world after the update like the new POIs should.

[pliant merlin]

Very fresh seed, so its there. Somewhere

[tired root]

Okay, it could be a possibility someone unaware of the POI existence might have loaded in one of the spawn points already.

It has similar spawn points as traders: 10 possible locations, first loaded will spawn it there and disable the rest of them.

[hushed sigil]

If you know the seed of ur game, I can load it and give you subtle fun hints towards finding it….

[pliant merlin]

Yeah I know. Still a lot of BF left to explore, but saving some for DN incase something new is added.

[pliant merlin]

I can locate the seed, yes, but no ty. Theres no fun in that.

[tired root]

Yeah, that would be very interesting if older biomes get new content in 1.0. 👀

[next obsidian]

im trying to start a dedicated server using one of my own saves but im not sure how to get the save to go onto the server

if anyone could give advice that would be awesome

Anyone here from Sweden renting a valheim server? What is the best one?

[tired root]

People in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might be able to give advice on that.

[sharp nova]

chat
what's the pickaxe above bronze pickaxe?

[cedar lodge]

< this one, you'll get the recipe in the forge (given it has at least one upgrade) as soon as you smelt your new metallic findings in the swamps

[subtle parrot]

Just kill them first

[sharp nova]

craft an axe

[glad current]

Make something to help block their initial charge, then attack them back. They're relentless but their skin isn't too thick.

[steep tusk]

BLOCKING? 👀

[glad current]

A useful skill when first learning the game.

[icy brook]

You can parry them too

[steep tusk]

... 🤦‍♂️

[icy brook]

Oh wait I thought your message was from the same guy who said pigs were killing them lol

[upbeat palm]

Can I js convert to vegism

[glad current]

You can but they won’t know that

[icy brook]

You can tame them

If you can trap them in some walls or a fence and toss them some berries

They take 30 minutes to tame but that timer pauses if your away from them, or if they have aggro, or if they're near a fire cuz they're scared of fire

[upbeat palm]

Thanks 🙈🙈

[shadow condor]

hey if i find a ribcage in mistlands does that mean there is a skull buried at the end of it or are there solo ribcages?

[glad current]

There are solo rib cages but some have skulls too

[woeful star]

yo mods ^

ty

[lost sandal]

[restive ore]

uh why not just look

[sinful moth]

Is it safe to open the queen's door? Or does that start the fight?

[shadow condor]

giant mountain in the way

[restive ore]

It's safe

[sinful moth]

K thanks

[restive ore]

She is somewhere in the dungeon and you need to find her

but you can exit at any time

[restive ore]

then probably not

[restive ore]

🙏

[sinful moth]

Can someone give me some help how good I need to be prepared for the queen? Cause I already found her but don't rlly have good gear yet

[sharp nova]

what's the next light armor after troll and bear

[barren rivet]

next is root armor, but it's barely any more armor

has some interesting bonuses though

you gotta kill some big spooky things for that

[sharp nova]

that's good i just got recommended root armor

[fading crypt]

The bear, what is the easiest way to kill it?

[sharp nova]

hold up bone tower shield and try to time your dodges

[subtle parrot]

For the queen, depends on whether you're going to try to melee or use magic

[sharp nova]

holding shield is for dodging instead of jumping and catching any slip ups as you learn

[tired root]

Slash weapons. Wooden shield can parry the weaker attacks. If need room, equip torch, they avoid fire.

[sharp nova]

early axes deal a lot of damage and bears attack infrequently enough that you won't be wide open on a whiff

if you see him go still he might be charging a two paw slam or bite

[fading crypt]

Thank you, I will try, with a shield, or alternating torch and bow, I didn't know they were afraid of fire

[sharp nova]

fire arrows are good for trolls because you can outrun them as they saunter slowly but i've found bears approach too quickly for bows to work very well

[barren rivet]

they resist pierce, better to just learn to parry their swipe and use a flint axe

eat 3 health foods so you can make a mistake or two then disengage if you have to

[sharp nova]

and as always, stay rested.

[fading crypt]

How does rest time increase?

[crystal kiln]

by adding furniture etc

[fading crypt]

The maximum I get is 3 minutes

[sharp nova]

it resets every time you're in your house long enough. if you fix up a home you find you can reliably get comfort level four and eleven minutes of restedness

[fading crypt]

Does furniture affect the time ?

[crystal kiln]

yes

[fading crypt]

How wonderful, I didn't know that

[crystal kiln]

furniture, a fire etc increase youe comfort level, which gives you a longer rested buff

[fading crypt]

I noticed that the house gave the rest buff, but it was very short, however I had no furniture

Thank you very much

[sinful moth]

I didn't rlly get into magic a lot yet but I would like to

[brisk hazel]

ive searched so many meadows but only found one piece of the early axes how can i get the secound fast?

[tired root]

Which axe head you have found?

[fading crypt]

I have the same problem, people here in the group told me to search further away on other islands that have meadows and look in all type A houses and towers

[tired root]

||Mysterious|| axe head can be found in wooden structures like these:

Then ||Curious|| axe head in structures like these:

[brisk hazel]

i found the silver one

[harsh coral]

how do I use Valheim Dedicated Server?

I looked through all the reddit posts on it i could find, but every time i see them talking about file locations for worlds or whatnot, it's not anywhere in LocalLow or the browse file location for the steam tool

[tired root]

Try https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[sharp nova]

is amber used in any recipes

[drowsy crane]

Nope just for trading

[jolly tapir]

What the heck? I walked up to the Dverger to get my body after a gyall and they killed me on the spot??? I only tapped their stuff ONCE why the heck????

[dapper ivy]

Guys im ready to go to the swamp but i dont know what i need the swamp key for? Also i dont know hot to get to a swamp

[stoic trench]

You’ll discover organically soon enough! As far as finding the swamp, just keep sailing until you see ‘dead’ trees

[rustic yarrow]

somethign is definitely breaking my bases while I'm not using them. My portals go dark if I dont keep checking on them.

[ornate finch]

On which platform are you team mates playing?
Are you still getting continuous damage on boats?

[rustic yarrow]

I'm on steam, they're on x-box. That boat is dead now, I haven't gotten it to happen again on a new boat yet. Which is nice.

[ornate finch]

I'll send you a private message, so we can troubleshoot why this things happens often to you and we don't spam the channel (working with devs)

[vale ledge]

Hi, the sword-shaped pointer that appears when I press ESC won't go away. It stays in the middle of the screen and won't disappear. I don't know what I've touched. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

[tired root]

Restart the game again.

[ornate finch]

It can happen when mouse gets disconnected, you can also try physically reconnecting the mouse while being in pause menu to get it removed.

[marble igloo]

Is there any specific conditions that have to be met for a automatic wolf farm to work?

[olive ocean]

like what

[green dragon]

soo uhhh im building a large compound with earth walls. now that im like 50% through im thinking about how the hell ill even access it on land. ill proly not need the cart but what if i wanted to leave or enter with it...are there any tricks ? cuz i doubt theres a drawbridge or is there ?

[subtle parrot]

Make sure the structure or whatever is high enough not to be too close to the ground or whatever you've got the puppies dropping to so they're not interfering with the mob limit of tames within a given area. Make sure the breeding wolves can eat and are eating and close enough to mate. I would imagine there's videos on YouTube to get you more information and an idea of what to do.

[subtle parrot]

No drawbridges, but you can make a bridge that will also effectively stop pathing for mobs and still be able to go across with a cart

[green dragon]

sry if i sound doofus rn but uhh. bridge as in a actual bridge building or specific blocks beeing used as a bridge

[subtle parrot]

No you have to build the bridge with the available build pieces, there are no structures or anything like that

[green dragon]

ye but wich blocks will block the pathing and allow me to move a cart through regardless ? aggain sorry im totally new to valheim im basically only experienced in other games like 7days to die where u have to be VERY picky with ur choice of blocks otherwise they will cross like u do

maybe im overthinking this and its all real simple idk

[subtle parrot]

No worries, it isn't any specific pieces that block them from pathing, but a small gap from the edge of the wall to the pieces you've made the bridge out of will stop mob pathing, and the cart will be able to go over the small gap

[green dragon]

small as in they cant touch or does it have to be a specific width ? like uhh just as much that i dont fall through ?

[subtle parrot]

I'm not entirely sure about that tbh, but i believe as long as the pieces aren't touching it will be fine, if not then probably about a half meter gap would be fine

[green dragon]

2 solutions. at worst itll fail once thats fine to me. thx mate

[ocean shoal]

tfw you crash your boat into your own bridge blocking the river

[wheat sedge]

does sap extractor works if i'm far away?

[thorn spire]

Yes.

[dreamy hearth]

I think there are timestamps on objects that get compared to the current time so when you load up that zone with your Viking presence, the game calculates and adjusts the extractor accordingly.

[ocean shoal]

game timestamp sure, every resource keeps progressing no matter your world location, like farm etc

[thorn spire]

Yeah, I've often run into a chunk too fast and had to wait for raspberries or mushrooms to 'pop' into existence.

[hushed sigil]

Having done this in the past, a gap that is the same size as a normal floor piece is enough. If you sprint you can just run across this and if you are having trouble with the cart you can add a corewood piece to the lip on either side which can make the cart bounce up a bit too and help you over if needed. Depending on how ur characters / speed enhancements due to clothing etc work you can gradually adjust it to suit how you play.
You can also have a fall mechanic where the inward path is higher than the outward path so that ur cart can fall over the gap but things can’t get out that way (break empty cart and rebuild to take it out again)

[pliant merlin]

Norway, using Dathost atm for 2 servers, no issues

[analog valve]

How do Hilder's quests work in multiplayer (dedicated server)? Can one player complete them all by themselves and this locks out everyone else? Or are they instanced per player?

[abstract eagle]

I think you can only finish it once but you can complete each of three quests three times

[analog valve]

So, if we want everyone on the server to be able to complete them, we'd have to make sure that three individuals didn't hog them all for themselves? Is that correct?

[abstract eagle]

Yes

[analog valve]

Thank you!

Oh, also, are there multiple drops if a group complete a quest together?

[abstract eagle]

Just one drop for quest item but there are three locations for each individual quest so you can get two extra drops as you only need 1 to complete

[analog valve]

Hmm, but that means 3 rewards on a 10-player game. That does not seem sensible. 😄

[abstract eagle]

Three quests with 3 locations each so total of 9 drops. You have to return 3 drops to Hildir, can keep other 6. It's not something you can actively use anyways

[analog valve]

If one player unlocks her trades are they open for all players?

[abstract eagle]

Yes

[analog valve]

And if one player gets one set of map locations, will the next player get a different set?

[abstract eagle]

No, 1 set upon interaction

[analog valve]

How do you get the other locations of the quests, if there are 3 each? Do the quest locations reset?

Oh, or does every player get all 9 locations straight up? (Sorry, I'm a noob and haven't done them yet).

[abstract eagle]

It shows all 9 locations on the map. I guess if you don't have map share each might have to trigger it. Not 100% sure if using mods, etc

[analog valve]

No mods. I had seen a mod that said it made her quests more equitable, which is why I was asking. I might just add a rule that the players can't do multiple quests of the same level and hope that suffices. Cheers!

[tiny gulch]

does anyone got any tips regarding finding traders, trying to find the swamp trader atm :/ been sailing for hours looking for swamps

[abstract eagle]

Swamp trader is somewhat removed from the center. One in my recent world is right by Bonemass

[jade olive]

Is there a way to make a snap point in the middle of a 1x 2 marble block? I want to recess a metal wall in the middle on top, and I can eyeball it to do it. But was hoping for a way I can put in something temporarily so I can do it quicker and help line it up better. I am still experimenting but haven't found the right way yet.

[steep tusk]

Put two of the 1x1's on top of it and use the bottom snap point.

If that puts them in the way, use the bottom snap point and place a wooden beam going down from it. Delete the two 1x1s, and then snap from the top of that wooden beam.

[jade olive]

I am doing the long way of the 1x2

[steep tusk]

So you want a point that is 1m in longways and 0.5m in across?

[jade olive]

Yeah thats what I am trying for

[steep tusk]

Gotta use the door trick.

[jade olive]

Ahh ok that is close enough not the middle exactly, but it will work. I was just trying crystal but not quite there thank you very much.

[steep tusk]

You can get it exact middle but you have to use multiple doors snapped off other doors and all of that for a single piece is just... a lot 😂

[jade olive]

Yeah not worth it, this will be close enough and work out faster now. I can eyeball it but that takes way longer.

[steep tusk]

Aye.

[steep tusk]

It also sucks if you spend all that effort with the intent of using the one piece as a snap point for others, then accidentally bonk it when deleting the doors 😬

[jade olive]

Yes I will be carful if it doesn't light up its not coming down lol

[steep tusk]

😂

[full mesa]

Fist only vs queen 🤔

[gaunt crypt]

hi. please tell me if anyone knows. after a global update, for example, ashlands/deep north, will the old world be updated too or will you need to start the game over?

[tired root]

Old worlds will get updates properly in unexplored areas. So leaving current Deep North alone will then properly add new content there.

Undeveloped/placeholder areas that are explored before update will be left barren with no new content other than mob spawns after the update is added.

Example pictures here if areas were explored beforehand:

[cedar lodge]

👆 yep, seen entire black marble castle crumble because too close to old Ashlands... that problem stays with d.n. right? even if placeholder terrain has been reshaped a bit already?

[tired root]

If built inside the DN area it will probably get wrecked after update. Since the ocean gaps were formed also between DN and other biomes in Ashlands update it should not repeat the same if built near the border.

[carmine dagger]

Is there a way to move a ready existing game to a server, or do we need to start over? For context I'm a new player and we've played with my friend for about 30-40 hours now and he has the save file in his computer, but now it would be nice if i could play in my own time and build our base, but thats not currently possible as he has the save file. Or whatever it is called

[tired root]

I think it should be possible as long as the world files are found. But people in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might be able to give more advice on how to set up the server.

@carmine dagger 👆

[carmine dagger]

Thank you, I'll ask there!

[iron talon]

Thanks

[hearty sluice]

What are the effects of multiple players on difficulty and enemy spawns? I couldn't find it on the wiki

[strong forge]

It is my perception that difficulty might not increase, i.e. they don't get tougher but it seems that there are more enemies when there are more players.
I might be wrong on the first bit.
When I was solo on my home-hosted server, things went very smooth, the moment my buddy joined, stuff became a lot more challenging

[hearty sluice]

Bosses get more health though, right?

I'm also wondering about one time spawns like fuling villages

[true steeple]

all creatures get more health and damage, I don't think it affects spawning

[cedar lodge]

All mobs gets more health iirc

[true steeple]

maybe the limit on some enemies spawned by bosses is increased but not for everywhere else

[hearty sluice]

Does the wiki have any page with this information?

Where?

[true steeple]

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

Creatures gain +30% more effective health per each additional player within 100 meters. E.g. 3 players = +60% effective health.
Creatures gain +4% more damage per each additional player within 100 meters. E.g. 3 players = +8% damage.

[full mesa]

Curious what about bosses, what about in the case if say 5 players

4 of them are summoning the boss,
boss summons and it only counted 4 players within range, the 5th player joins in through the portal, what are the changes if that 5th joined the fight?

[true steeple]

it checks the player count whenever it needs to so players joining and leaving will affect the health and damage

but the effects are capped at 5 players

[full mesa]

So only change is health no other significant buffs?

and damage as you said

[steep tusk]

As an American, I would love "change is health" tbh.
Like... at least take the cancer out of our food 😭

[true steeple]

some spawn systems have an increased max for more players

[full mesa]

So more ads, sounds terrifying ngl knowing how annoying the ads are

[true steeple]

actually idk if it affects the queen I'll need to test that

but there is code for it to affect spawners idk which ones

[full mesa]

If it does work thats terrifying

imagine 10 seekers on you 🥺

whilst fighting the queen

[true steeple]

I can't find anything on the wiki for the queen or bonemass' summons changing with players so actually it might not be used at all?

[full mesa]

Whats the maximum batches of spawn can the queen summon

2 or 3 batches of ads?

because 1 player = 2 seeker

if the queen can summon 3 times maximum thats 6 seekers per player

6*5 = 30 seeker ads

[sinful moth]

Is it efficient to use the 2nd attack for farming wood?

[livid mortar]

It does more damage per hit and it's more reliable for hitting stumps, but I'm pretty sure it takes more stamina and is slower per swing. I mostly use it for stumps.

[tired root]

Axe secondary uses 2x stamina for 1,5x damage, but it has no multitarget penalty.

[sharp nova]

how does the damage over time compare ignoring stamina consumption?

[sinful moth]

K thanks

[tired root]

You mean poison, fire, spirit? Not 100% sure if I understood the question.

[sinful moth]

I'm trying to tame wolfs rn but they don't show any yellow hearts, does that mean I'm doing smth wrong?

[tired root]

Since there are no other damage over time damage types than those 3.

[sharp nova]

the dps of mouse one versus mouse 3 when damaging trees

[tired root]

Well, if you hit 2 or more logs per one secondary hit it will be more stamina efficient.

[abstract eagle]

Make sure they are not red - aggressive and that they have food they can eat

[sharp nova]

i'm not looking for stamina efficiency... i want to know which one damages faster over the same period of time assuming you have the stamina for both periods

[sinful moth]

I'm pretty sure everything should be fine, and I waited for a few minutes

[abstract eagle]

Are they running around like crazy or standing still ?

[sinful moth]

They stand still, I dug a hole

[abstract eagle]

And they have food ? Have you seen them eat it ?

[sinful moth]

Yes, no

[abstract eagle]

What's the food ?

[sinful moth]

Boar meat

[abstract eagle]

Can they get to the meat ? Try running away a bit then sneaking back up

No mods ?

[tired root]

Primary hit is faster than secondary.

[fading crypt]

Once this happened to me with wild boars, I closed and re-entered the game and it worked

[sharp nova]

so it's higher dps? not just attackd sooner?

you know what dps is, right?

sorry if that was rude i'm confused by your confusion

[sinful moth]

Shit they despawned, I went too far

Imma try to reload an older save

[tired root]

I do know, but I'm unable to check the numbers more specifically.

[abstract eagle]

Hmm, usually they will respawn in the same area. Had similar experience with starred wolves.

[sharp nova]

you couldve said so... thanks for trying to help tho. sorry...

[tired root]

Hmm, no worries. 👍🏼

[barren rivet]

i always use primary swing unless i can hit multiple things. just looked at numbers. wiki shows a 50% increase in both damage and chop which “chop” is tree damage. so if the alternate was only 50% slower than primary it would break even for dps. but im pretty sure the alternate attack is more like twice as slow, so i wouldnt use it on single tree targets

[sinful moth]

Oh I just read that they can only eat at night if they spawned at night, maybe that's why

And now it actually shows hearts, nice

[barren rivet]

what i like to do is normal chop til the tree starts to fall, then get in a cheeky alternate hit that gets the bottom of the falling tree and the stump at the same time

[barren rivet]

i didnt know that, thats weird

[sinful moth]

Could also be wrong, I saw it in a reddit post

Maybe just a coincidence

[subtle parrot]

It's not that they only eat at night, it's that they need to eat at night and start taming before day comes or else they will despawn, but as long as they have started taming they shouldn't despawn at dawn

[sinful moth]

Oh ok

I tamed it now, is it safe to leave or can it still despawn?

[subtle parrot]

No, once tamed they will not despawn unless they're killed by something

[sinful moth]

Nice, ty for the help

[brisk hazel]

does a building repair itself overtime from weathering if it has a roof on it?

[drowsy crane]

No, you'll need to repair it, but the weathering will stop if it has a roof over it.

[brisk hazel]

ty

[prime abyss]

if I shift click to craft 5 items, do I get the same amount of exp as making 5 items individually?

[drowsy crane]

Yes you do

[vital niche]

Idk what to do after Killing the elder, i full stuff bronze, have a pretty descent base with storage house, small forge and basic house, small farm slowly growing, should i go after the swamps ?

[frosty frost]

That would be the intended progression, yes 😄

[lapis terrace]

take your cool glowing key and take a stroll into the nearest swamp 😄

[abstract eagle]

Sure wish I could mount wishbone 🙏

[ocean shoal]

u wot

[subtle parrot]

The wishbone can't be placed on vertical or horizontal mounts like you can with the swamp key

[spring gulch]

Hard antlers would be nice too

[subtle parrot]

And wisps as well

[spring gulch]

I should've edited i spelled antler wrong 😂 yeah wisps would be great too

[subtle parrot]

No worries, i do like that you can mount the yagluth spirit things, they look cool on like stair railings and stuff

[spring gulch]

This i did not know!!

[ocean shoal]

hmm yeah a lot of thing i would like to put on a stand

[prime abyss]

is there a way to temporarily increase your cooking level, like Yagluth/Farmer clothes with farming?

[abstract eagle]

Also dragon tears, those look the best imo

[abstract eagle]

Not in vanilla. There are mods though that do that

[undone monolith]

I wanted to put the three fragments of Dyrnwyn on item stands in my base (as a decoration of a broken powerful sword) but the game doesn't allow me to do that 🙁

[next flume]

Is there any app thingy for the map that shows silver veins? Explored a whole mountain and not a ding in sight.

Dead chat 🥀

[steep tusk]

Idk if the online map even has that data, but you can check.

[tired root]

It doesn't.

[next flume]

That's why I'm asking if there is another one for silver.

[tired root]

Nothing I've heard of.

[hushed sigil]

If you can’t see drakes flying around it then chance of silver is not good

[next flume]

There was a drake nest with a dragon egg having 200 pounds 😭 tho no silver when me and my friend went around all the mountain. Where does silver usually spawn tho.

[hushed sigil]

With an item from swamp?

[next flume]

Yeah the uhh wish bone. Btw what's the best weapon in mountains and armor I should focus on getting? I'm still rocking troll armor lol

[zealous thunder]

Fenris armour ftw! 🙂

But the root chest is also realy good for migitating pierce dmg. Probably the best chest piece in the game tbh.

[tired root]

Root Harnesk is more useful in later biomes, since only spike hand variant of stone golem deals pierce damage of mountain enemies. Fire weakness can also turn out to be fatal inside frost caves.

[tawdry zodiac]

Am I doing the parry calculation correctly? I'm in the plains, planning to fight Yagluth, so i've done:
0.4 x MaxHP (250) = 100
Block Armour (190) x Parry Bonus (1.5) = 285

Adding them together my parry total should be 385, right?

And following that, would I be able to parry Yagluth's Nova slam with that? Since the numbers on his fist slam seem to add up to 330, which is less

[true steeple]

you don’t add them together. block armor reduces damage like this https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_mechanics#Armor
and if the remaining stagger (physical + lightning) damage is less than 100 you won’t stagger

[tawdry zodiac]

Ah right thank you, quite confused by all this number crunching

[true steeple]

the nova’s explosion has 130 blockable damage and only half of that is staggering, the fire aoe that it spawns is not blockable

[tawdry zodiac]

So at a block armour value of 190, the effective parry would be closer to something like 100 damage parried?

[true steeple]

you should be able to parry all of his blockable damage with what you have

[tawdry zodiac]

Okay sweetness, thank you

Yagluth been the bane of my existence for months counting breaks

[true steeple]

if you’re parrying you would use the multiplied block armor
how is your block armor so high?

[tawdry zodiac]

Let me double check this, I may have done this wrong

[true steeple]

look at the value in brackets on the shield, that shows the total block armor. the number next to it is the base value which hasn’t been increased by skill level

[tawdry zodiac]

My block armour is not what I thought! It is only around 120

121 to be precise

I added my actual armour value by mistake

[tired root]

Had to double check the properties on blackmetal shield lol, since I recalled it could not be that high.

90 block armor at quality 3 and with block skill lvl 0.

[tawdry zodiac]

Yeah my original formula was WAY off 😭

[tired root]

The armor rate on your equipped armor only matters if you take direct hits, otherwise blocking uses the block armor stat.

[true steeple]

it reduces the damage that gets through blocking

[tawdry zodiac]

I could always use the tower shield instead and try to face tank

[true steeple]

against yagluth high movement can be very helpful

[tired root]

Yes.

[tired root]

Tower shield can be okay option if your parry timing is still off as it has higher block armor, but you cannot parry with tower shields.

And since Call to Arms update their ms penalty is not that bad anymore.

[crystal kiln]

the ms penalty never was the issue imo, parry just gives you so much burst dmg that not having it makes you very vulnerable

[tawdry zodiac]

Hmm. I'll see which feels better against things like Zerkers I guess. Thanks for the help guys

[true steeple]

parrying is free now so tower shields are even weaker than they used to be

[tawdry zodiac]

Kind of a pity you can't upgrade the black metal sword any higher before yagluth though

One upgrade just out of reach

[true steeple]

you can get a maxed forge before finishing the swamp biome

[tawdry zodiac]

hold on a minute i need to check something then

The fool didn't bother to build the Smith's Anvil.

[long sage]

So may i ask if setkey commands still active after i restart server like setkey enemyleveluprate 500 etc...

[green dragon]

how logn does a wall realistically have to exetend into the water to break enemy pathing entirely. ive built a 20-40m extension at a place where normal sizedmobs abaolutely have to swim. the dwarves that keep showing up on raids swim all the way arround the wall....while i CAN fix this with just not giving them access from the water that would also limit my own building options and be horrible in case i fell into the water myself.
what exactly breaks their pathing entirely ? distance ? maximum depth ? im a bit lost. its fun to shoot those guys when they swim but id hate to wake up to a troll swimming arround the wall and smashing my house 😭

is their pathfinding based on distance and if so whats the limit ?

(raids specifically)

[subtle parrot]

If there's a path around they will find that path. Best to make a clean edge at the water and build a dock that is inaccessible to mobs

[green dragon]

so no open harbour ?😭

[subtle parrot]

Depends what you mean by open harbour, but as long as there's no way for them to walk over anything then they won't go there. Break their pathing.

[green dragon]

well if they want to get to me theyd have to swim quite a bit but if i remove the access points that make them able to "climb on land" after the swim i cant climb out myself in emergencies 💀

i mean it seems to screw up their pathing at least a bit. they swim arround quite confused for a while till they get the hand of the path ngl

so i thought extending the wall further into the sea might fix it

[subtle parrot]

Put a ladder down into the water, mobs can't climb those but you can still get on them

[green dragon]

hmmm what about my pond. i have a small pond in the middle of my compound. there was a natural connection to the water. i wanna use this as a dock... id hate to destroy the look entirely just for the sake of noone beeing able to access it. the distance to that part would be....quite big...but still

#screenshots message

sadly this pic doesnt show the seaside wall. im not at the pc yet so i cant take a better one for now but i guess u can imagine what i envisioned

i already dug out the canal yesterday but i wanted to keep at least the pond natural

if that makes sense ?

[subtle parrot]

Like i said before, make a clean edge at the water. Like use your pickaxe and hoe to make it so nothing can climb the wall, put ladder down into the water so you can still get out but mobs can't get in. Also you can just use stone build pieces around the edge of the water to do the same thing.

[green dragon]

sad noises. so no shallow water allowed ever 💀

rip my intentions

😭 sry for giving u a hard time but i better triple ask before i let go of my dream

[subtle parrot]

I mean you can, the wall literally doesn't need to be more than a meter tall, they can't path over it

However they can still ride waves over the wall if a storm comes or the waters get choppy

[green dragon]

no worries ill find a optical fitting solution

well if they dont have a path there to begin with theyll proly not go there to ride those waves

cuz after all the valid spawn points are all outside the walls on land or no ? so if they had no valid path to swim

[subtle parrot]

That's a fair point

[green dragon]

well the good news is ill be safe. the bad news : extra work and design change

[subtle parrot]

I will say the only other reason they would go to the harbor would be to attack your ships, because those are valid targets to mobs, but generally in my experience they don't usually go out of their way to attack them

[green dragon]

well ill need stone parts for this. i dont want to do this with only terrain or ill lose my mind. doing the ramps for the gatehouses in a way that i can use my cart to enter and leave was already pain. i cant take more for scaping that pond....so ill need stone. what do i need to do to unlock stone tier ? i didnt spoil myself anything for that so far

[green dragon]

lets hope for the best at worst thats a bit of bronze idk if the loot is dropped if its torn apart. if i was watching i could def just scrap it...

or no? dk tbh never tried to do that in combat lol

[subtle parrot]

If you've beaten the second boss, and got plenty of mats from burial chambers you should just need to head to a swamp and look for a sunken crypt

[green dragon]

ok so finish black forest gather more cores (def my main task rn) then swamp

anything i should ABSOLUTELY carry on me for the swamp?

[subtle parrot]

All the materials will drop if the boat is destroyed, and as long as there's workbenches around that materials shouldn't despawn

[green dragon]

ye there is and im planning to keep them just...a little less chaotic so good to know that i can just ignore them then

[subtle parrot]

Poison resist mead

[green dragon]

ok so meads...take care of meads find more cores kill elder go to swamp

[subtle parrot]

Indeed

[green dragon]

ahould be easy enough. famous last words ik

anywax thx for the help

u rly saved me a lot of headaches

[subtle parrot]

No problem, i will just note that the difficulty ramps up a bit in the swamps so just be ready for that

[green dragon]

well i am. already noticed that with black forest

bears are.....annoying

takes forever to take one down so i can only guess how bad the swamp is. in ark or 7days manner : if i cant fight it ill run and if i cant outrun it ill screw up its pathfinding (hopefully) then look back at the worst moment to die painfully

[subtle parrot]

Bears can be difficult, but once you learn their moves then they're easy to deal with. Their single paw swipe attacks can be parried quite easily and then you can just chop em up real easy.

[subtle parrot]

The swamp creatures mostly aren't as hard to take down as a bear tbh

[fading crypt]

Tip, cut down the swamp trees, they have different woods and unlock new recipes

[green dragon]

would be eadier if they werent such goofballs. sometimes i misspredict a attack just cuz i think bro is taking another lap

and oh boi it hurts

[subtle parrot]

Lol yeh sometimes mobs will do that

[green dragon]

note to myself also grab more wood... ye im good at that ! my highest skill !👴

(literally my highest level skill)

anyway time for groceries. gotta sustain viking life. thx a lot guys 🙂

[fading crypt]

spoiler || at the top of the trees there are shiny things that can be mined!!, use the pickaxe ||

[fading crypt]

Is it possible to transfer mounts through the portal ? So far, is the Lox mount the only one available ?

[frosty frost]

No and no, there is one more ahead of you 🙂

[fading crypt]

Great news! Is it possible to pass through the portals?

[frosty frost]

No, only player can pass through portals (+technically one special case where certain enemy can pass through with you)

[fading crypt]

thank you

When using the training dummy, after a while my bow stopped gaining experience. How do I fix this ?

[snow matrix]

Hi, I need some help with Valheim and my radeon rx 9600 XT. I am unable to go more than 62 fps . Anybody has some guide or has the same setup and can suggest some settings? all what i find is from 2021

[shadow condor]

wild question but why does my own ballista attack me? do yall use them? you train them with trophies?

[tired root]

They indeed attack all targets, players included. Set it up with trophy to attack only those enemies.

[sinful moth]

Ashlands are at the south right?

[spring gulch]

Ya when ur boat burns up and ur in the water ur almost there

[sharp nova]

||what's the bone bow i saw in a screenshot? what do i neee to craft it?||

[lapis terrace]

ashlands stuff

[sharp nova]

frick

tell me no more i'll just wait

thanks

[lapis terrace]

nvm I ment mistlands 😄

[fading crypt]

What era are you in?

[sharp nova]

embarassingly early

almost to swamp

[fading crypt]

So it's going to take some more time

[fading crypt]

There are still many biomes, but for me the most annoying one is the mountains

My English is bad, I wrote 'annoying', but I meant 'tedious'

[hollow acorn]

is there a way to place images in sign without downloading any mod??

[frosty frost]

Some basic emojis afaik, yep

[brisk hazel]

how do i stop mobs from spawning on my island?

[fluid socket]

campfires

[glad current]

Any player base structures. Campfires, torches, and workbenches being the most popular

[fluid socket]

torches dosn't work do they?

[brisk hazel]

thank you

[hushed sigil]

I always go for agility over large and slow armour so I could go exploring around some caves in the mountains.

[glad current]

Torches work but wisp lights don’t

[fluid socket]

damn tough sht T-T

[next flume]

Ngl any tips for the mountains? The drakes are so annoying and I keep mining where it flashes a lot but nothing. How deep is the silver

[glad current]

Usually not very deep

[steep tusk]

Wait until it is flashing VERY fast before digging.

[next flume]

how fast 😭

[fluid socket]

are you certain its at the highest flashing

[next flume]

idk what the highest flash is

[fluid socket]

also use the stackbreaker trick if u want

[steep tusk]

You need to at least be in "flashes per second" territory.

[fluid socket]

if it says too hard while using it, theres silver

[next flume]

it is so hard to navigate mountains with all the drakes, golems and wolves

[steep tusk]

Kill them. Simple.

[next flume]

hard when they come all at once.

and the golem has a radius of noticing from 1km away. how th does bro see me through walls

i dont even know how to defeat the golem

[next flume]

yeah to kill the golem in troll armor with abyssal razor

[steep tusk]

Whack it until it dies?

[steep tusk]

Troll is adequate for mountains, yes.

[next flume]

you're so annoying. like dont respond if this is the type of sh you say to people

[fluid socket]

lure it away and run from it

[next flume]

yeah bro just beat the game.

[steep tusk]

You're not being specific with what is difficult. So I cannot be more specific with how you need to adapt your strategy.

[next flume]

nothing.

[steep tusk]

If nothing is difficult, what is the main point of your complaint?

[stoic trench]

Something I like to is after I mine a silver vein, I’ll convert the pit to a golem trap. Once a golem is trapped, another can’t spawn in that general area.

[spring gulch]

You can unload wood arrows on them if you can kite

[next flume]

what???

[spring gulch]

Sorry its a gaming term. Basically if you can keep your stamina up to be able to run a little away so he doesnt hit you, you can shoot him with your bow till he dies

[next flume]

well yeah obviously thats literally the only way. unless you're crazy enough to melee them

oh wait you mean golem

[spring gulch]

Which you absolutely can be if you have beaten bonemass. They are parry-able and you can train their timing on twig. Iron mace and shield

[stoic trench]

You can also jump on their backs and get some pickaxe swings on them. Can be a bit risky, and it’s not a method I personally use a lot, but it’s an option. Otherwise, I find just practicing dodging them is useful against them specifically.

[next flume]

i thought drake, basic wood arrows work towards golem?

[spring gulch]

Yeah it takes time but it works. Gotta do a little fearless walking the dog. The drakes try making obsidian arrows, they i think 2 shot them

[steep tusk]

You can kill any non-boss enemy with enough wood arrows.

[next flume]

well technically you can kill anything with wood arrows, but some might take thousands of them

[spring gulch]

You should def be able to with a stack of 100 or less on you

[steep tusk]

Bosses have regeneration, so I forget exactly which one, but at a point you cannot wood arrow them anymore because the damage is lower than their healing.

[next flume]

oh right forgot theres obsidian in the mountains.

[steep tusk]

Golems should just be iron buckler + iron mace.
Parry and spank.

To your earlier "all at once" scenario.
Kite. Focus wolves first, then drakes, then golem last.

[next flume]

sounds easy. hard to converse.

[spring gulch]

I do recommend twig if youre scared of getting spanked off the mountain. Dont be on the edge

[void otter]

you can use the terrain to your advantage as well. maybe perch up on a large rock and take out drakes first, then shoot wolves with arrows from above.

[steep tusk]

What's your food?

[next flume]

carrots grow so sloww. uh deer soup, deer meat and queen's something.

[steep tusk]

I am saying this to help and I have no "tone" in my voice whatsoever:

That's your problem.

Food is the most important stat in the game. If you are rocking Swamp foods, Mountain will be much easier for you.
You need to find turnips if you haven't already.

[next flume]

my smart friend planted the only turnips we had under something so they couldnt even grow. havent seen any since then 😭. also my problem could be armor too since im rocking full troll armor. 33 armor total i think

[steep tusk]

Sausage + Black Soup + Turnip Stew should be your entry foods when going to the Mountain.

[void otter]

serpent stew would also be a good idea if you can get your hands on it.

[steep tusk]

As I said before. Troll is adequate for Mountain.

That should show you just how much weight is being "Food is the most important stat in the game." Because gear is very, very secondary to food.

[stoic trench]

Agreed- if your diet is poor, your performance is poor. Oh hey, this doubles as life advice too lol

[steep tusk]

If you have access to Serpent Stew, use that + Sausage + Turnip Stew.

[next flume]

never fought a serpent 😭

istg food is so troublesome to get

[steep tusk]

The non-serpent food is simple. Just takes time!

[stoic trench]

#memes-and-clips message if you’re not taking food as seriously as this guy, Valheim will be a rough time for you 🫡

[thick leaf]

I built Zerger’s auto Asksvin breeder farm (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cqrLYc4DrkA) but I can’t get the Asksvin to eat. They're making the motions but not consuming.

[minor robin]

still no way to control orientation of oak trees right? Just keep trying till i get something good?

[stoic trench]

Yeah, just keep growing them I suppose. Don’t think we’ll ever get a feature like that- seems really niche 🤔

[minor robin]

trying to get a "reconquered by nature" look to one of my builds, want one of branches growing through the roof but one of them is at a good height to walk under and the other is right in your face

Suppose I could have grown it first and oriented my build around IT but I kinda like how I'm facing the sea

[next flume]

why would you need that

[minor robin]

does no one else like oak trees in their builds??

[hearty sluice]

Yeah, oak trees are a great centerpiece. Best tree for a tree house, aside from the swamp ones

[minor robin]

i see that there is a building tips channel and I understand the reactions more, apologies

[subtle parrot]

Idk if it'll work for sure, I've never actually tried to raise a tree up before, but you might be able to use the hoe on the raise ground feature and target the ground around the trunk of the tree and raise it up, maybe it'll get the tree up a bit higher so the branchss aren't in your face

[abstract eagle]

Pretty sure you'll have to grow it first otherwise there's a chance that there will be not enough space and it will never grow

[hoary harbor]

I am playing on vanilla with friends and the server keeps becoming unstable and kicking everyone. Is this a known issue or should I start troubleshooting the pc?

[rustic yarrow]

is it no longer possible to keep lox in a pit? They just walk up the walls no matter how steep

[abstract eagle]

Not deep enough. They do like to climb on top of each other. Try lining it with a stone wall

[rustic yarrow]

it's already max height and depth, only 2-3 lox in it, I dont dare have more

[abstract eagle]

Not sure why then. Stay perfectly fine in my pit. Maybe not steep enough

[rustic yarrow]

I stood at the top and built it at my feet just taking a few steps at a time

idk what else I can do, it looks like a cube to me

[abstract eagle]

Pics ?

[rustic yarrow]

fighting queen rn

[abstract eagle]

Good luck

[tacit breach]

Put a roof over them. It makes it harder for them to get out. Especially if they don't get aggroed.

[rustic yarrow]

they're getting aggroed is the problem. Nothing I seem to do keeps stuff out of my base atm... and they 'stomp' through roofs

[tacit breach]

Yeah, I stopped breeding them years ago. I just hunt them.

[hushed sigil]

You gotta dig down as far as you can and make a big hole for them to live in.

[rustic yarrow]

I just want a pair at the base for the sake of never needing to tame them again.

[hushed sigil]

They’re coded in a way that they look down from above in order to find things to react with, so if you can fence off wide enough then it is out of their vision.

[rustic yarrow]

the wall looks thick enough to stop that then.

[tacit breach]

Once they are tame separate them. They can't climb straight walls by themselves.

[rustic yarrow]

can't really breed them then but I guess I'll have to.

[tacit breach]

If you want to breed them, then breed a lot and let them roam. Ride them into pairs when you want more.

[rustic yarrow]

Yeah, that's why I got two for starters. That was going to happen later. But now I can't keep the pair I have in the pit I made which is really upsetting.I'll just seperate them for now

[tacit breach]

I found them to be far more hassle than they are worth. So now I just hunt them.

[rustic yarrow]

I'm starting to see why, though I do like my options so I'm torn. I'll see what works for me in the long run. Thank you for the input

[tacit breach]

You get much better mounts in the Ashlands.

[wind leaf]

I

Hate

Ashlands

[abstract eagle]

Why so negative? It's fun to die all the time

[steep tusk]

Staff of Fireball cleanses all.

[distant dome]

Question - I got to the Ashlands with a character but lost everything when my server disappeared. Does anyone know of any public servers I can join to repair my armor that I had on my back while I’m building a new world?

[full mesa]

"I cast the power of the sun"

[hushed sigil]

Unfortunate. Make a private world and repair it there? You would need to use console commands to enter free build mode then put down whatever table you need to repair stuff with.

[fierce spruce]

What's up with no skill drain just randomly appearing. Bug?

[ocean shoal]

yah the icon appear as bug but the effect is not happening actually

[sinful moth]

What armor should I prepare for ashlands as a mage, carapace helmet and both mage clothes? Or smth different

[true steeple]

Armor points are only used when your staff of protection isn't active so heavy armor won't be helping much

[sinful moth]

Ok thanks, probably full mage then

[unborn hinge]

so whats the process of tackling the mistlands? do we unlock a way to traverse it before heading into it?

[true steeple]

defeating yagluth allows you to craft things that clear mist

[unborn hinge]

nice

[full mesa]

Its honestly worth it to just mass farm wisps for wisp torches

Since even with wisplight players still struggle

[green dragon]

maybe a awkward question but :
ive been playing for a few days now and i noticed that weapon switching introduces a lot of strain in my hand during my long sessions. i tried switching tools and weapons arround but whatever i do...ill end up with strain. some setups will obv provide a bonus on it others dont but in the end ill need most stuff i carry so i WILL have to become avatar the fingerbender at some point. what are ur solutions to this problem ? what are UR keybinds. people who already know the pain proly have a solution for it so im curious 🤷‍♂️

(i already tried a mod for it but man it wad clunky at best. used mouse scroll wheel for switching but it was like a broken door knob...didnt work properly)

id say 1-4 are fine maybe even 5 so uhh spear, buckler, bow, wood cutting axe. 5 is pick and with 6 for building im already running into issues.....7for hoe 8 for torch. i dont need the torch super duper often so it can stay awkward but i rly need a solution for 6-7

g and v maybe ? idk if u can rebind am not at the pc atm . will be back soon

( i usually only use those for like gear in flight sim so idk of thatll introduce even more strain)

[subtle parrot]

Have you tried an ergonomic keyboard? Idk if that would help
I play on xbox, so with controller, but i messed up my wrist years ago, so if i play too long in general my right thumb will go numb

[green dragon]

financially not a option man sadly enough but i learned to read the telltale signs of how i end up in pain for weeks

and valheim rly gives me a headache cuz ik whats coming to me. i can fix the sprint issue. tried standard thought its unreasonable yesterday after almost cramping my pinky but the building tool and hoe...idk...

6 and 7 are damn awkward

and i cant justify having them in the front slots...i tried...i get things mixed up all the time if i do so 🤦‍♂️

i kinda need my " survival tools " there....stuff for smashing barriers and clubbing foes u know ?

switching them while building is also rly not a option...that ends in horrible situations cuz muscle memory can be problematic

[drowsy crane]

Are you not just, floating a hand over to hotkeys 6 and above?

Or are you stretching from wasd

[green dragon]

i have large hands ...i can reach...its just not comfortable for my left hand wich is btw also dominant and will do this on its own anyway lmao

i can even reach 8 but tbf i gotta leave wasd then...

thats why 8 is torch cuz i never need it unless i know its dark and then i usually have time

[drowsy crane]

I might suggest simply hopping your hand about quickly, this is what I've always done, even with large hands.

[green dragon]

hopping ?

[drowsy crane]

Playing 14+ hours of WoW a day as a kid, I basically had to do that.

[green dragon]

as in lifting ?

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, just letting your hand up to move over and press those keys.

[green dragon]

man i just took the pain back in those days. i was hardcore raiding in wotlk times 😭

[drowsy crane]

Old habits die hard I suppose

[green dragon]

my hand was already doomed when i got a gameboy in my hands....so i proly never really learned to do it properly for my keyboard hand ngl....interesting approach...change habit

[green dragon]

100% yes.. exactly

but am 33 now and im not feeling like ruining my hand for a game YET AGGAIN 🤣

u know these days if it hurts it ll stick

[drowsy crane]

I would say it's worth an attempt, strain is surely a hinderance for mature dude gaming. 😅

[green dragon]

ill try the hopping method before i do anything else. i mean ive been throwing arround my muscle memory with switching slots ..cant be that hard

[green dragon]

ye def.....especially cuz the game is technically super chill

my hand says otherwise 🤦‍♂️

[subtle parrot]

I feel ya

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, just try and switch to up for moments where the game isn't pressing you to be super quick in your actions, so maybe you could still stretch in those moments without as much or any strain.

[green dragon]

sorry for turning this into a anonymous "hand strain circle"

[drowsy crane]

Not to worry! It's common I'm sure.

[green dragon]

long habit of competetive gaming ngl....

completely unrelated but : is it worth it to keep troll caves etc marked ?

once cleared....cuz i hesrd they dont respawn

[drowsy crane]

Totally relate, I used to play GunZ for 15 years, that game basically ruined my hands.

[drowsy crane]

I don't, but they could work as survival shelters if you need.

[green dragon]

thats a neat idea ngl....i shouldve thought about that before setting up a small portal house on a rock plateau 💀

that brings me to the next question...do portals work in there ?

[drowsy crane]

They don't, but things you can build without a workbench do.

Torches, campfires, cooking racks

[green dragon]

aww too bad

[drowsy crane]

Good for getting rested buff back in peace

[green dragon]

well i guess at least sth

so i better keep them marked just in case...u never know when ull be stranded in the open with no where to go and regroup

[drowsy crane]

Exactly, this strategy comes in handy in future biomes as well.

[brisk hazel]

what is best food avaliable for bonemass fight?

[drowsy crane]

Sausages

[true steeple]

serpent meat and stew

[brisk hazel]

if i havnt come across a serpent yet?

[true steeple]

anything made at a level 2 cauldron, whatever combination of stats you prefer

[green dragon]

wait till night or strom and go to sea

i think they have a 5% chance to spawn with each

[brisk hazel]

ok brilliant thank you

[green dragon]

oh and uhh the scales seem to sink

so uhhh... try to get it into shallow water or do some voodoo that my new bum doesnt know to conserve them idk

[true steeple]

theyre only used for a tower shield, if you don't want it don't worry about them

[green dragon]

good to know

[green dragon]

no buckler ?

no armor nothing else ?

[subtle parrot]

Unfortunately no

[drowsy crane]

I wish scales had other uses.

[true steeple]

theyre used in fins of destiny, i forgot about these

[subtle parrot]

Scale armor would be sick

[green dragon]

dang i killed my first serpent yesterday after sailing home and didnt even get the chance to check what i unlocked didnt read it was busy celebrating....thats....disappointing to say the least...well at least the fridge is full

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, a scale armor set or scale rooftops would be my choices.

[green dragon]

snekroof.....sounds gud

take snek...make it roof

[subtle parrot]

Yeh i agree that would be sweet

Like a sleek shiny version of the tar roofs

[green dragon]

imagine sailing ur ship : ah damn look at that creature that would be a sick rooftile

💀 nothing is safe in valheim

[drowsy crane]

Except Necks, don't touch them or Blobicycake will have words.

[green dragon]

am i allowed to parry them ?

[subtle parrot]

Indeed lol and quick tip for killing serpents, when it's low on hp wait for it to circle back and come towards your boat and ready a shot, (while you're aiming you can jump while holding down the button to shoot) jump out over the serpent and shoot it one last time, it's not 100% guaranteed to get you the scales or trophy if it drops, but if you're on the middle of the ocean and don't wanna waste time sailing to a shore, it's a good method

[quaint gazelle]

heya qq, does fenris set + ratatosk stack?

i wanna be the fastest boi

[subtle parrot]

Yes

[quaint gazelle]

fk yes

[green dragon]

thx for the tip. my encounter was totally diff. i basically encountered it at the very last seatile that led to a meadows river canal leading to my base. so i could just hop out and laugh at it while shooting arrows

the last possible tile and i hit nightfall exactly on that tile...so my first nighttime roll was a serpent 💀

[subtle parrot]

GG

[green dragon]

well i guess i learned that i should have set up camp like a reasonable person

cuz with no shore in sight i might have panicked entirely 😭 🤣

[celest urchin]

do i have to defeat the first boss again if i want to craft another pickaxe

[frosty frost]

Do you need another antler pickaxe after the first 3?

[celest urchin]

first 3 what

[frosty frost]

The 3 antler pickaxes you can make after defeating the boss

[celest urchin]

i died in the black forest

[sharp nova]

does valheim eventually allow you the option of laying iron rqols

[sharp nova]

pick it up or defeat eikthyr again

oh sorry

[frosty frost]

If you dont have any hard antlers then you hate to either recover things from black forest or kill him again, but you got 3 antlers the first time so you could have some at home no?

[celest urchin]

no i got none at home

black forest is hard to survive in with wood loot

[frosty frost]

Sorry iron what? 😄

[celest urchin]

and idk how to make better weapons

[sharp nova]

rails

wasnt looking at my phone

[frosty frost]

As in rails on a balcony or the track the train is riding on? 🤔

[sharp nova]

mostly to push a cart or series of carts on

[frosty frost]

You should have flint weapons in blakc forest, with wood shield and leather armor you should be able to take a few hits from normal enemies there 🙂

[celest urchin]

alr. for leather armor is there only pants and a shirt

[frosty frost]

Then no, nothing like that, you can make normal flat roads tho via teraforming to make cart travel easier 🙂

[frosty frost]

And helmet

[sharp nova]

there's leather armor made from scraps and separately deer hide in case you werent aware

[celest urchin]

ty

[frosty frost]

Yep, one has "rags"" in the name and other one has "leather" 🙂

[sharp nova]

what's the best method of digging an underground tunnel

should i use a pickaxe or something else?

[brisk hazel]

best way to find haldor trader?

[frosty frost]

You cant really make tunnels, the ground is single sheet that gets bent when you dig pretty much. To make a "tunnel" you would need to dig under some rocks. 😅

[frosty frost]

Looking through black forests that are a bit further from world centre, good place to start is usually Elders location and sailing around black forest shores 🙂

[sharp nova]

why not...

bend it into a tunnel?

(i'm imagining spacetime and wormholes)

[frosty frost]

Doesent work that way i am afraid xD would be cool tho

[sharp nova]

(as an allegory for single sheets bending into tunnels)

[sharp nova]

darnit

[scarlet wyvern]

Do the dreams have a purpose? Do I need to remember them xP

[frosty frost]

Not really 😄 but they are interesting things to read

[scarlet wyvern]

Oki ^^ and yeah they are ^^

[frosty frost]

Sometimes there can be tiny bit of lore tho i believe 🙂

[sharp nova]

is there a bear slime

[frosty frost]

Nope, there are 4 types of slimes you can encounter in the wild, + one special one you have to do few things to actually see. None have animal features 🙂

-# But i know which dream you are referencing

[sharp nova]

you dream of a great bear sleeping deep in the winter of the earth. it has no limbs just layers of flesh

[brisk hazel]

i found the T-Shirt guy - will haldor be close to him and what does this guy do?

[summer skiff]

how to mine the muddy scrap pile under water in the swamp?

[frosty frost]

Thats Haldors sister, Hildir. Sadly one appearing isnt any indication that the other will be close.

[brisk hazel]

thats made me very upset XD

does she have anything useful?

[frosty frost]

After you do her first quest you will unlock very nice farming clothes set 🙂

[brisk hazel]

what is her quest?

[frosty frost]

To retrieve a treasure chests from certain dungeons, she has 3 quests, one for each chest, each has the special dungeon in different biome.

[brisk hazel]

ah i see them on my map

the howling cavern is in the moutins?

and the other 2 are miostlands?

[frosty frost]

One is black forest and one is plains 🙂

[brisk hazel]

smoldering tomb and sealed tower are the other two on my map

[frosty frost]

Yep, 1st is Smouldering tomb, then Howling cavern, and Sealed tower is 3rd 🙂

[brisk hazel]

thank you

[celest urchin]

does ur loot disappear once ur dead

[frosty frost]

Nope, it wil stay at the skull marker at your map 🙂

[full mesa]

I can immediately guess what happened

[celest urchin]

[celest urchin]

how do u plant tree seeds

[livid mortar]

With a cultivator, which is made with bronze and core wood.

[steep tusk]

Cultivator as a weapon when?

[brisk hazel]

can you craft chains?

[celest urchin]

ty'

[celest urchin]

i think workbench lvl 2

[full mesa]

Cant use cultivator as a weapon

[celest urchin]

oh

is repairing items free?

[brisk hazel]

how do i farm chains?

[steep tusk]

Crypts.

Fastest way. Otherwise just wander the swamp at night looking for wraiths.

[brisk hazel]

ok ty

[full mesa]

They hit hard so be careful

[jolly mango]

are spears cooler now or are they still lazily made

[steep tusk]

They were never not cool?

[pearl shuttle]

Not when you yeet it miles away and spend 20+ mins looking for it 😂

[barren rivet]

nope, they're still dumb, you have to use their quick attacks that dont rely on combos to do damage and have to throw them sometimes for extra range and hit flying mobs if you dont have a bow. sigh.

[jolly mango]

cool im leaving

[steep tusk]

So you missed? Skill issue, not spear issue.

[pearl shuttle]

How do I get the spear that returns to you?

[pearl shuttle]

Im console i have stick drift 😂

[steep tusk]

Ok, if you truly feel that way: battleaxes are dumb.

[timid narwhal]

HI boyzz, where can i get that helm with light?

[pearl shuttle]

Hildur

Or haldor

[steep tusk]

Haldor, yes.

[barren rivet]

they ARE dumb, you have to hit like EVERYTHING in front of you, you can't use them to only hit one enemy, and everythign staggers too easily, who wants to stun and crit everything all the time? terrible weapon.

[steep tusk]

Can't follow up on their own parry.
"You're using them wrong."
Well, you're using spears wrong.
😉😏

[pearl shuttle]

Im currently in the mists I havent beaten yagluth yet. Do I need to kill him/her or am I able to farm mists without?

[steep tusk]

No. But he will make it easier to see.

[pearl shuttle]

Mm agreed

Thanks

[barren rivet]

well no but i was being sarcastic about spears, that person is using them wrong if they think they're not cool

but also yes stop parrying everything just kil it

[timid narwhal]

Ruby and Amber Pearl are for what?

[pearl shuttle]

Used for coins

You trade the traders and get coins

I think you can make a treasure chest too but its just cosmetic

[timid narwhal]

i can sell these items only with specific trader or each one of them?

[pearl shuttle]

Any of them will take it and convert it automatically to coins

[timid narwhal]

Because i already found that trader in black forrest but i couldnt figure out how to sell these items...

[pearl shuttle]

On console its L3

Or R3

[timid narwhal]

i am PC player...

[pearl shuttle]

It says it what it is

On the screen

[timid narwhal]

ok i ll try it

[spring gulch]

Its the coin button on the bottom right of the list

[barren rivet]

true story it took me idk 3 hours to find the repair icon and know what it was

just a heap of q1 stone axes by my house

[pearl shuttle]

I was the same with repairing stuff took me ages to figure it out 😂

[timid narwhal]

thanks a lot i ve made over 2k selling these items right now that is nice

[pearl shuttle]

Get the belt too for more carry weight

Meringjord or something

[timid narwhal]

i already have the belt...

but i notice now that haldor even have that helmet with light "D

got damn this game is so good i love it, hopefully it will get deep north update as soon as posible... latest uptade wasnt that bad too... but it could be better if they will listen to players 😄

[steep tusk]

Care to elaborate on "could be better?"

[timid narwhal]

idk english is my second language so it is what it is 😄

[steep tusk]

"They need to listen to players but I can't say what they need to listen to."
🤔

[gleaming sun]

does anyone know what to do if my boars arent eating in that sky boar farm thing

[timid narwhal]

inventory update...

[steep tusk]

Yeah. That's either going to be decent or ruin the game entirely.
Remains to be seen.

[steep tusk]

Take them out of the animal cruelty box and give them actual space to roam?

[gleaming sun]

nah thanks
i already fixed it
||they will suffer.||

[blazing crown]

Whats the base stamina?

[steep tusk]

50

25/50/0 are your base stats.

[unborn hinge]

you should look into an mmo mouse, one that has number pad 1-12 where you thumb rests. i use it for every game and its alleviated a lot of pain in my left hand

i use the Razar Naga X. Larger mouse with the keypad on the side, very easy to thumb press all buttons

[steep tusk]

Corsair Scimitar my beloved.

[green dragon]

had one didnt like it many years ago when bc was first released 💀 . i do use mouse buttons though. i might rebind it to my mouse actually. while i dont have numbers on my mouse i can still reprogram the 4 sidebuttons

thx for the idea 🤣

[celest urchin]

how do u get core wood rn iam cutting fir trees and iam only getting wood.

[unborn hinge]

need to cut pine trees

[celest urchin]

tysm

[unborn hinge]

does the wisp fountain only work in the mistlands or does it attract in any biome?

[frosty frost]

Anywhere where its "dark" 🙂

[steep tusk]

Anywhere at night or during storm.

[frosty frost]

In swamps it atracts permanently 😄

[steep tusk]

Perma storm confirmed 😛

[unborn hinge]

how many wisps get attracted at a time?

[frosty frost]

Perma rain 😉

[frosty frost]

I think something around 5-6 is max?
-# Acording to wiki up to 9 near the morning 😄

[brisk hazel]

my greydwarf spawner farm doesnt kill some of thing in the chamber they dont burn in the middle

[unborn hinge]

do they stay until caught?

[frosty frost]

Until morning

[elder cypress]

what armor should i use for black forest?

im thinking bear armor

[void otter]

send me a pic of your farm or post in screenshot chat so I can see.

[frosty frost]

All the 3 armor sets are good in their own way 😄

[elder cypress]

doesnt really matter?

[frosty frost]

Bronze armor will give you most armour value but you will be sloved a bit, troll and bear armor will let you move around more freely and give you their respective set bonuses. Or you can combine them 🙂 for example bronze helmet + bear torso and legs will give you quite good armour while still letting you move around quite fast. It really depends on you and your playstyle + if you like or dont like the set bonuses

[elder cypress]

tysm!

[crystal kiln]

the biggest argument against bronze is that it needs bronze, which you need for so much else that adding another resource sink is about as needed a hole in the head

[elder cypress]

probably gonna go with bronze helm, and then chest and pants bear

[frosty frost]

Tbh, the longer i play the less problem it seems 😄

[crystal kiln]

well, there is a reason half the running servers turn into a smurf village the moment they hit black forest tier xd

[sharp nova]

(i did not know bronze was necessary later. i'll leave my forest reserves untouched)

[frosty frost]

Well troll is definetly easier to get, i will definetly not disagree with that xD

[crystal kiln]

you dont need that much later but all your immediate upgrades consume a lot and its the most annoying ore to farm, except perhaps flame

[sharp nova]

glad to know the most annoying ore to farm is behind me after i beat elder

it was annoying to farm but i learned to get used to it

perhaps that was not healthy 😄

[crystal kiln]

iron is a tossup tbh, farming it isnt THAT bad but you need tons on tons of the stuff

[elder cypress]

you get like 80 per crypt though

[frosty frost]

More than 100 if you are lucky 😄

[crystal kiln]

yeah, and those two stacks then immediately vaporize the moment you make it back

[elder cypress]

getting the coal to smelt it too is really annoying

i dont know if i should use the fire beams in the swamp or just cut wood

sword or mace in the black forest?

[frosty frost]

I would say they are about equal in BF

Get whichever you think is cooler 😄

[sharp nova]

mace for the skeletons but i swear by my axe and knife

and early axes are better than bronze axe 👆

[subtle parrot]

I'm in plains in my current playthrough and still using early axes lol

[frosty frost]

Since the skeletons are mostly in the burial chambers where there are almost always narrow passages then imo the no MTP on swords quite balance out the weakness to blunt mace has 🙂

[sharp nova]

i use my axe on above ground skeletons anyway it's more upgraded than my mace

[steep tusk]

Better how?

[jolly tapir]

In this play thru I kept my bronze axe and iron pickaxe until my black metal stuff lol

[fringe reef]

My friend and I are playing multiplayer and it's crashing alot

[barren rivet]

dps definitely

ofc their parry is god awful, but if you’re just hacking at a group of greydwarves id take earlys over bronze

oh and bears. best bear weapon

[unreal meadow]

whats the third piece of vilebone other than cage and drapes? i cant find it

[fiery kraken]

I am wonder are these Core.* files needed or are those temporary server files?
https://lobfile.com/file/xgG6mmtn.png

[celest urchin]

do raids happen or come randomly?

[wind leaf]

I just launched my private server to get a friend in. Why am I not getting an invite code?

[void otter]

Head piece. I think you need the trophy.

[void otter]

There is a random chance for a raid every once in awhile.

[celest urchin]

oh alr. is it allways the same mobs?

[void otter]

No it's not always the same. There are different raids which become unlocked as you progress through the game.

[celest urchin]

if i defeat the raid will i get something before the time runs out

[void otter]

Is it a dedicated server or no?

You just get the loot from the mobs you kill.

[fringe reef]

No

[true steeple]

enemies keep respawning until the time ends, you don't defeat it

[celest urchin]

so i just defend

[true steeple]

yes, see how many you can kill

[celest urchin]

alr

[full mesa]

Some raids raid are worth it to just kill as many as you can

You are being hunted
You get the chills
The horde attacks
They were bros man
The forest is moving

[barren rivet]

man thats how they should work… or each drops extra gold or some sort of something.

[shadow condor]

any tips on how to approach the ashlands? does a more advanced boat not take damage? are there ways to pass through not walled by those spikes?

[steep tusk]

Spikes are ass and you have to go around.
Drakk doesn't take heat damage, yes.
If mage: staff of fireball.
If viking: demolisher for making space, silver sword or mistwalker for killing things.

[shadow condor]

theres a way around the spikes?

[steep tusk]

Just sailing between them and such.

[unborn hinge]

hmmm, found a large mistlands area but the only interesting POI was a dock with some dverger. Are these mines well hidden or just unlucky?

[steep tusk]

Unlucky RNG.

[barren rivet]

the bane of this game for me is finding those stupid things. some biomes they're just not there at all like some swamps dont have crypts. the biggest help ive found is go slow listening for bugs, the dungeons have 2-3 bugs outside always. dont forget to check under abandoned dverger structures

[unborn hinge]

how about sap? how do we collect that

[barren rivet]

SKRAWWWWWWW! you need something more advanced by people who build cool stuff maybe

[unborn hinge]

ive had a giant swamp with 0 crypts, kinda annoying lol

[steep tusk]

Dverger Extractor which you have to raid them for is the piece needed to unlock Sap Extractor recipe.

[unborn hinge]

oops wrong reply

[unborn hinge]

oh thats the thing i got which pissed off the dverger around lol

probably shouldve read the description better

[barren rivet]

sometimes i yell SKRAWWWWW when the bird told you these things alraedy cuz people ignore the bird and it makes me sad

[unborn hinge]

i think i have hints turned off lol

are there new hints for the mistlands/ashlands?

[barren rivet]

good to know, im officially answering you in raven speak from now on XD

define new?

like will the raven tell you things before going to ashlands? or like since an update came out?

[unborn hinge]

when those areas were first added they were pretty much nothing islands

[barren rivet]

oh there are some VERYYYYYYYYY important things to know with ashlands.

but you'll quickly figure them out yourself if you don't listen to the bird lol

[unborn hinge]

so the bird does give hints in the new areas

[barren rivet]

you get like 3 on your way to ashlands before you even hit land

and all over mistlands, how to get sap, about bones, about dverger, etc etc

[unborn hinge]

do sap extractors get attacked?

[barren rivet]

its never been a problem if they do

not something u need to like wall of and stuff

[unborn hinge]

do they fill without being in the area?

[drowsy crane]

No they don't get attacked, yes they fill out of render.

[unborn hinge]

awesome

[tired root]

Also the sap will regen too.

[jolly tapir]

the roots will renew eventully?

[tired root]

Correct.

[lyric panther]

i died recently and im too far to swim to my corpse. im trapped in a black forest near a plains and swamp so i dont really wanna try running past those, but i need to find leather scraps for a raft. what should i do?

[void otter]

Worst case you could activate dev commands and teleport / fly back to your corpse.

[lyric panther]

would that have any consequences?

[void otter]

I think if you type /stats it might display 'cheater' for that character.

But other than that, there's no consequences.

[lyric panther]

so the only consequence would be hidden in commands anyway?

[void otter]

Yes

Running naked through a swamp isn't too hard. Plains can get a bit more dicey.
