[void otter]

Gotta keep your head on a swivel for skeeters

[lyric panther]

i stole some cloud berries and blueberries and i was gonna try to swim there with eikthyrs power but it goes across an ocean so i think its impossible

[void otter]

Oh I see there's ocean between you huh. Hm

[lyric panther]

its kinda short tho

[void otter]

Did you respawn at your base?

[lyric panther]

no, a close by temporary base i had

[void otter]

Or was it like a temp bed elsewhere

[lyric panther]

but they're on different islands completely

[void otter]

Is there an open portal at your main base? You might be able to find portal materials and make one.

[lyric panther]

sadly not, i used all my cores for smelters, ill just fly there and trash like 500 coins as a punishment ig

[void otter]

I've been there. It's a lesson learned.

[crisp drift]

hmmmmmmmn no

[unborn hinge]

oh thats nice, i figured they wouldnt with how many there are in an area

[cerulean osprey]

Is the next armor up from the silver/wolf set the padded armor? I made it to the plains and surprised if so cus i thought itd be something using black metal rather than more iron

[magic quartz]

yes thats the plains set or u can go fenris

[jolly tapir]

Iron is used in many sets. The padded set also needs black metal and linen thread from spun flax. I've never crafted it, but alternativley there's a Vilebone set

[jade olive]

Has there been some more new creature sound added to the game by chance. Today I heard a seeker scream as a surling burned it. And on pause I heard squerls and sorts of birds. Usualy in blackforest I hear Owls on phause which are cool.

[brisk hazel]

do i run faster one different paths??

[tired root]

Nope.

[brisk hazel]

what should i spend my first silver on?

[tired root]

How many silver you have?

[brisk hazel]

90

[white wren]

Leme join the server bro

[tired root]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 would be your best bet for looking for people to play with.

[white wren]

Eyy thanks

[tired root]

Shield would be good idea IMO, fully upgraded takes 20 silver. What weapons have you used mainly?

[brisk hazel]

i used polearm in forest and mace in swamps and a bit of bow throughout

[frosty frost]

You could consider using few pieces on a cape or chest piece of armour if you didnt already 🙂 since that way you will not have to use frost resist mead anymore

[tired root]

Silver tier mace is there too, but you have access to that after you've found Haldor and bought certain material.

But for limited silver, I would go with shield and cape first.
Fang spear is great weapon and requires only 8 silver. Then there is also Draugr Fang which would require 80 silver for fully upgraded, but quality 3 it takes 50.

Save also 2 for cauldron upgrade.

[brisk hazel]

ok that very helpful thank you

and armour to work for u got full wolf or fenris?

[tired root]

If you like heavy go heavy. Full Fenris is also great for its speed buff and set bonuses.

Personally I go full Fenris. But if I have no luck with trophy required for head piece I craft heavy helmet, paired with Fenris chest and legs.

[brisk hazel]

ok brilliant

[pine wedge]

Is there anyway i can send an image here? I'm not sure why my oak sapling won't grow, it says it doesn't have enough space but like theres more space around it than any of my other saplings

[tired root]

In https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 you may share pictures.

But it might be if you have planted the sapling in area that has stone underground.

[pine wedge]

Thats exactly it, just dug around and theres a stone underneath it 😄 Ty!

[unborn hare]

my boat glitched out and destroyed itself while i was on one of those living islands, is there any way to get off besides drowning myself

[tired root]

You mean it turned upside down and broke?

[unborn hare]

yeah

[tired root]

No other way than swimming or drowning.

[unborn hare]

ok thanks

[tired root]

Cargo will float on boxes if there was any items inside boat storage.

[frosty frost]

You could technically do a bit of world hopping to not die during swimming, but that really borders on cheating

[jolly tapir]

I mean boats aren't supposed to break like that either so I'd say grabbing a temp portal would be fine

[unreal meadow]

what do chickens eat?

[clever juniper]

seeds

[barren rivet]

they eat them in the game too

[unreal meadow]

i have 200 carrot seeds in there and they all still say hungry

[tired root]

Wait until chicken grow into adult hen.

[unreal meadow]

nvm they were scared of a mob

[languid bison]

My friend and I play on multiplayer (no dedicated server). He is host. I just died and was on my back when his game crashed. There is an icon for my death on the map, but my items are nowhere around. Is it lost? The last autosave hasn't happend yet, since we just started the game

[frosty frost]

Oh, then i am afraid it might be lost.

[tired root]

Load a backup save of your character, that should solve the issue.

[languid bison]

How do I do that?

[frosty frost]

True, i always forget the characters save too xD

[tired root]

On character menu, look up for manage saves icon, then the character column and load the latest backup before the crash.

[languid bison]

Thank you so much. We were just preparing to face ||The Queen||. That would have been devestating D:

[frosty frost]

Best of luck with Queen 😄

[tired root]

You mean ||The Queen||.

[frosty frost]

Of course 🍵

[tired root]

[full mesa]

I would watch 🍿

[elder cypress]

can you kill a bear with leather armor and a wood shield

[frosty frost]

Yes, but you will have more trouble than you would have with better equipment of course 😄

I also recommend an axe for them, since they dont resist slash dmg 🙂

[elder cypress]

ty

i got him with only one death

[slender marsh]

if I've never played before, would it be best to play with others or play solo?

[tired root]

Game is balanced around solo, but has co-op option. Mobs will have more HP and damage per player on the same area.

[frosty frost]

I would honestly recommend solo

[slender marsh]

Ooh I see, thank you!

[tired root]

Solo might be easier to learn mechanics more properly.

[steep tusk]

Solo. No contest.

[tired root]

That depends also on people who you want to play with, with trusted friends it will be fun.

[steep tusk]

After you know the game, yes.

[stoic trench]

My first playthrough was with a close friend, and we had a great time figuring the game out together 👀

Can’t wrong either way imo

[spring gulch]

I wish I was introduced by someone who didn't already know the game, or played solo

[stoic trench]

I have a buddy who has had an awful habit of getting us into a game he likes, but he throws into like mid-game or something and tries to explain the game from there lol

[knotty socket]

Hi!! I've managed to delete my starter stone circle (don't ask). I've managed to respawn all the boss stones, but how do I respawn the stone circle in the middle?

[frosty frost]

You can spawn the whole starting area by command location StartTemple SAVE

[fervent atlas]

Hello, Im playing with my friend on a local server with mods, there is only like 8 mods total, the most important for us is ValheimRAFT, and for the first idk like 5h of gameplay everything was okay, and then, without changing anything in mod list, my friend stopped seeing anything added by mods, he cant see ships or magic, also he cant see any entities like monesters or animals, and when he destroys something like a tree or stone he doesnt see or get the loot from it. Any idea how to fix it please?

[tired root]

People in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 might know better.

[void kindle]

how to get better foods in the cauldron

and how to summon the elder!!!! im stuck. I have no idea of how to summon him or how to get the "ancient seeds"

[void kindle]

and like how to upgrade it

[tired root]

You will get material from next biome.

[void kindle]

what is it called so i know if i have it

[tired root]

Similarly how it worked with the first boss, place required items on your hotbar and press the number on altar.

[tired root]

You will need to find seeds from swamps for ||turnips||.

[tired root]

Also, greydwarf nests drop ancient seeds when destroyed and brutes can sometimes drop them too.

[void kindle]

i have never seen a greydwarf nest. is it similar to skeleton spawner, and do i just find them in the böack forest

[tired root]

Similar working spawner, yes. It has purple glow and can be seen from afar.

[void kindle]

ok tysm

[tired root]

Here how it looks exactly:

[smoky fulcrum]

Hello I have a question:
If my viking has a weakness to slash, does that make a parry require more max HP to be successful?
Or rather, how does weakness / resistance affect the stagger bar when blocking?

[frosty frost]

I dont believe it does, it should just multiply the dmg that goes through the block 🙂

[elder cypress]

yo so i have 3 fires next to each other, but they keep going out, like 2 go out and one stays, two stay one goes out, its really weird

[green dragon]

smoke ?

[elder cypress]

can that stop a fire?

[green dragon]

yes if u have no vent itll choke out the fire (and u)

[elder cypress]

well i got a vent

[green dragon]

isnit working properly ? if yes then idk am still new too but like uh everytime my fires or forges wouldnt work it was smoke or a fail with roofing

[elder cypress]

maybe im not gettign enough smoke out

[green dragon]

i mean try it open and if it works its smoke

cuz when i built my first forge i had it stutter too besides a vent at the top

[elder cypress]

seems like its working now

[green dragon]

after placing it better it worked 🤷‍♂️

[tired root]

Damage modifiers apply after block.

[smoky fulcrum]

Awesome, thank you

[grave lodge]

Is there a more efficient way to farm viles in the plains? Every night I've been using fenris armor + ratatosk to cover as much distance but I'm only averaging a single vile per night. Am I unlucky or is there better ways to find/grind them?

[thorn spire]

So I've found that they tend to have almost a static spawn, in that I found regularly that they would spawn in the same region. They are 'Very rare' as I understand, so you're very unlikely to see more than one in a night, however if you do kill one, I would recommend you just run far enough away and back to 'reset' the spawns for the chunk.

[grave lodge]

Ooh I see, noted, thank you!

[thorn spire]

it may not work, but honestly finding even one a night is pretty good RNG.

[lyric panther]

i found a patch of like ditch surrounded by 5 stones in the meadows/black forest, is it anything important?

[thorn spire]

tall stones, like the ones around your spawn circle?

[lyric panther]

no, a good distance from my spawn

[thorn spire]

I mean size and spacing.

[lyric panther]

somewhat, they're about like 2 players tall i think, and they're all about the same size

[thorn spire]

Yeah, they aren't significant.

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Ancient_Stone_Circle Something like this? 😄

[lyric panther]

yes yes, does it include anything?

[frosty frost]

Not anymore, just an iteresting thing you can build around basically 🙂

[tired root]

They used to have purpose on alpha Valheim long ago.

Now they serve as one indestructable POI.

[lyric panther]

oh i see

[tired root]

Running around same area back and forth has worked for me, sometimes they might spawn somewhere your sight/view angle can't see it, but when coming back you might find it.
I usually end up to find 1-3 viles regularly. 4 if very lucky, once I found 5 during one night.

[jolly tapir]

I thought there were treasure chests buried there with like a piece of amber or cold coin?

[tired root]

Not on those, but inside the boat looking stone formations you might find chests.

[elder cypress]

is it normal to have two rancid remains in one burial chamber

[frosty frost]

Quite rare 😄 but its not too strange

[celest urchin]

what does amber do

[frosty frost]

Gets you money to spend 😄

[celest urchin]

how do u spend money. and do u need to travle over seas to get to the swamp biome

[frosty frost]

You need to find any one of the 3 trades throughout in the world 🙂 and usually yes, tho sometimes swamps can be on the starter island

[celest urchin]

tysm ur the best

[smoky pilot]

Just got to Ashlands on my group server and all 3 members are experienced crazy stuttering. Is there a solution to fixing this stuttering? Hasn’t happened at all until we got to Ashlands.

[subtle parrot]

If I'm not mistaken the devs are working to fix it as they can, it used to be worse until a recent update, but i believe they still have more work to do on that and many other things before 1.0 is ready (no confirmed date, yet). Hopefully, it will be fixed by or before then.

[frosty frost]

The stuttering caused by ashlands itself has been largely reduced in the update you speak of i believe, together with the sound issues, tho multiplayer will most likely always have problems there.

[subtle parrot]

Ah, that's unfortunate then

[sharp nova]

ashlands #u#

literal development hell

.

late game spoiler
||is the fenris set a late game armor without movement penalty||

[frosty frost]

More mid game really 😄 ||and in fact it increases your speed ||

[lyric panther]

would it be worth trying to see if i can find one on my main island? or should i just sail off

[frosty frost]

You could first do a circle in a boat around your spawn island, then if you dont find any swamps you can sail off in any direction you choose 🙂

[ocean shoal]

if your main island is still in the middle of the world it wont spawn there near the mid

[high flare]

Can I break this without breaking the spawner?

#screenshots message

[subtle parrot]

Most likely, if you use the build hammer, just don't attack the spawner with anything and it shouldn't break

[high flare]

I meant the stick coming from the ground. My bad for not explaining

I know they are near spawners but idk if they’re actually a part of the structure itself for HP purposes

Actually nvm, I forgot saving is a thing and it doesn’t break the spawner

Thanks anyways. My bad for the time waste man

[jade olive]

they are seperat peaces

[turbid frigate]

anyone know how fix worlds not spawning any trees monsters or anything ive made like 5 new worlds and all the same is happening idk how to fix it

[ocean shoal]

its modded?

[turbid frigate]

yeah

[ocean shoal]

disable one by one until it start workin i guess

there are a modded help chan here

[turbid frigate]

ok idk what happened it was working good then randomly just fucked up

[ocean shoal]

thats mod life fr fr

[tired root]

Listing your mods and posting them in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599 might help.

Or turning them off one by one and testing.

[hearty sluice]

Is there a way to repair tree stumps or fallen logs? Do they regain hp over time?

[steep tusk]

Neither.

[hearty sluice]

Ok... #building-ideas message this gets harder then

[smoky fulcrum]

Another question on this:
If I'm not blocking, does my weakness / resistance affect how much stagger I receive?

[tired root]

Yes, since stagger is based on your max HP and if you take 40% of your max HP as damage you get staggered. And weaknesses have 3 levels: very weak means you take 2x damage, weak 1,5x and slightly weak 1,25x.

[smoky fulcrum]

Thanks for explaining!

[tired root]

Also your armor rate comes in play too, it's applied after resistance/weakness modifier.

[smoky fulcrum]

So if I have 100 armour and Slightly Weak, then take an attack for 80 damage, it turns to 100 damage, then I should lose 25 HP

[tired root]

Probably. Wiki explains those calculations more specifically.

[smoky fulcrum]

Another one:
How does the regen buff from Vilebone wrath & Lingering health mead stack? Additive or multiplicative?

Online I'm seeing that they're additive, so Vilebone wrath + Lingering health mead should give +45% health regen

[tired root]

Positive regen is additive, negative multiplicative.

[smoky fulcrum]

Same for stamina regen buffs?

[true steeple]

does this mean it’s best to re-apply your set bonus if you get wet/cold

I don’t know which order they apply in

[tired root]

Ah, somehow did read your initial question as it would have been about stamina.

But same for HP: positives are additive and negatives multiplicative.

[tired root]

According to wiki, positives applied first and then the negative multiplier for total regen.

[true steeple]

just checked in-game, it's faster when vilebone wrath is further to the left (more recent) than wet

125% vs 119% stamina regen

so if you get wet or cold, take a piece off and put it back on

[tired root]

Huh, interesting.

So the modifiers are applied in order?

[true steeple]

which page?

[tired root]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Stamina#Base_regen

[true steeple]

it says this

Positive status effects are added additively, while negative status effects use multiplication. This means the order of effects matters when there are both positive and negative effects.

[tired root]

Reread that statement, correct.

Coffee time it seems.

[gleaming sun]

is building a house like 2.5 meters away from water and 4 meters up safe from waves?

[frosty frost]

Maybe some wave will very rarely show through the floor, but you will be safe from vast majority of them 😄

[gleaming sun]

well okay thanks

[tired root]

#screenshots message @true hare Egg requires warmth but also shelter.

[arctic coral]

Where is the server connection located?

[tired root]

Servers are hosted by players or 3rd party host services (in case of dedicated servers).

[brisk hazel]

@tired root Frostner or Silver sword or both?

[sharp nova]

there isn't really a good reason to eat uncooked blueberries if you have plenty of honey, right?

[tired root]

Depends, which weapon type have you used more?

[brisk hazel]

i havnt used a sword at all yet XD

[tired root]

In that case Frostner might serve you better.

[brisk hazel]

does skill matter that much?

[tired root]

Honestly, not that much. But it still does have perks for better damage and reduced stamina usage with the weapon type you have higher skill in.

When you look at the weapon stats it shows the orange and yellow damage numbers. Orange shows the max damage and yellow the actual damage you deal based on skill level.

[brisk hazel]

ah right ok thank you

[tired root]

It's all up to you, skills are now easier to level up thanks to T.W.I.G. which allows you train any weapon skills.

[brisk hazel]

so if i was to level my sword to the same as my mace

what weapon would u then choose for the mountains?

[grave lodge]

What determines the duration of a stone golem's stagger? I notice that seemingly randomly whenever parried; they get staggered either for like four seconds, or other times less than a single second

[true steeple]

their attack animations contain keyframes that change the speed of their animation player and this doesn't reset when they are staggered, so you need to stagger them during those points in their animation

it's rarer but this can affect other creatures, sometimes even the player. I've seen a clip of a player having their stagger animation play slowly because they were staggered during a point in sword secondary

[grave lodge]

Oh huh, that is really interesting, I wonder if that'll get patched as it sounds a bit unintended

Thank you though!

[true steeple]

#valheim-help message

that is an old video with mods, i'll try to confirm if it can happen to players in the current vanilla version

[tired root]

Depends.
Sword is solid weapon for all around weapon. Also silver sword has highest amount of additional spirit damage of any weapons, which can be useful later.
Frostner is special weapon with partial frost and blunt damage plus additional spirit, which is useful in multiple biomes after mountains (since boss and golems are ||immune to frost||). Its frost damage slows most enemies and knocks them back, making it one of the best one handed crowd control weapon in game.

[true steeple]

more specifically here you need to be staggered before the keyframe is played. The keyframe has to be during the blending between attack and stagger animations because when a creature gets staggered their animation speed does reset

[brisk hazel]

ok thats really helpfl thanks

[true steeple]

this is still possible. with some other attacks such as battleaxe primary this could also result in faster stagger times

[barren rivet]

or drinking a potion can make you stagger really long, or do a slow motion dodge roll

[true steeple]

I've seen this before but I can't get it to work in testing

[barren rivet]

ive got video somewhere of both, the roll was in the mountains its possible i was also slowed by a drake i guess when i drank and rolled, slow motion staggered was just whacked by fulings while drinking

[true steeple]

what were you drinking? maybe tasty mead is somehow different? I'm using it for the short cooldown

[barren rivet]

either a medium heal potion or frost resist idk

[true steeple]

do you know if you shared the clips here? I'm trying to find them

[barren rivet]

i'll try to share, problem is it's in steelseries gg, and some windows update decided to breka th eprogram like months ago i havent been able to use it. but i just found it, i remembered wrong, it's drinking a stamina potion while finishing a sword secondary. it makes me drink realy slow, then i do a dodge roll and that's slow too

[true steeple]

i wonder how far you could keep the chain of slowed animations

[barren rivet]

ugh, yeah it still gives me "encoding failed" in this stupid program...

[true steeple]

i got it working now

[barren rivet]

i cant even export the video at all, yay microsoft.......

[true steeple]

this should give a lot of i-frames on the roll but i don't know if it would be useful anywhere because of the long recovery

[barren rivet]

it does give i-frames lol im slow motion rolling during an entire frost breath and it never hits me XD

[true steeple]

do this after battleaxe primary for a fast roll

[barren rivet]

ive noticed some weird battleaxe things and early axe things, like during the long swings getting staggered but being able to immediately dodge roll out of it

[true steeple]

dodge rolling while you're staggered or the stagger animation is playing faster?

neither of the dual axe animations have speed change keyframes

[tired root]

You can time dodge after 2nd attack of primary hit combo to reach bit further for 3rd attack with battleaxe: #memes-and-clips message

[barren rivet]

it was as the final combo double swing was ending, not soon enough, abomination slams me sends me flying backwards as i also dodge roll with a full stagger meter

if you search “early axes” its the newest one in clips, about the recovery being loonnnnngggggggg vs abomination

idk what happens exactly, but i take big damage and also dodge roll at the same time

[true steeple]

i think you dodged and got hit on the same frame, when I do that now the stagger bar flashes but I play the roll animation

im downloading the video to take a closer look to be sure

[barren rivet]

so if there’s a frame perfect tie, i get hit but dont get staggered?

[true steeple]

you got staggered but played the roll animation immediately, your stagger bar flashed white

thats cool there's a frame perfect counter to staggering

but i can't think of anything that you couldnt just roll through so it's not useful

trees maybe
idk if they can damage you when rolling

[barren rivet]

i feel like it happened a LOT to me, granted ive been limit testing a lot of early axes against things that hit me hard lol

[high flare]

How far is the comfort distance?

[frosty frost]

10 meters

[high flare]

Oh boy. That’s lower than I thought

[lyric panther]

would you guys say its worth making a bronze pickaxe? or should i just stick with multiple antler picks

[hearty sluice]

Antler pick is easier to repair and takes less stamina. I would keep it until you actually need an upgrade. Bronze isn't necessary

There's lots of other uses for bronze

[lyric panther]

alrighty thank you, that helps

[lyric panther]

do you have any recommendations for bronze age?

im pretty lost cause i havent played this since the plains boss was incomplete lol

[hearty sluice]

Bronze atgeir is a good weapon for crowd control and killing trolls. Bronze sword is good against bears.
A lot of valheim players that I've seen doing challenge runs seem to skip bronze armor

[lyric panther]

really? i planned on getting some upgraded bronze armor cause i wanted to go for a tankier tower shield build

[hearty sluice]

There's the bear set which is still pretty tanky. But if you don't mind mining for more bronze, I say go for it

[lyric panther]

doesnt the bear armor give a -25% defense to physical damage? i thought i remembered seeing that when i crafted itw

[hearty sluice]

Only if you have all 3

[lyric panther]

ohhhh i see

[hearty sluice]

You could do the bronze helm and bear chest/legs

[lyric panther]

also do you have any recommendations for portals? ive never made use of them and i cant really think of what to do with them

like should i use them in perm areas or temporary bases ig

[hearty sluice]

Set them down near bosses and wherever you are gathering resources.
Both for permanent and temporary.

I've gotten to the habit of only having 1 or 2 portals in my base, one of which is unnamed so I can place a temporary portal down whenever I'm traveling and connect to it right away

[lyric panther]

ohhhh are they connected by a name system?

[hearty sluice]

Yeah, two portals with the same name will connect to each other. Or no name

[lyric panther]

alright i see, thank you im gonna try that out when i go to swamps probably

[hearty sluice]

You can use the portal icon to place pins on the map and write the name there to help you remember

so you can connect to them later by renaming your base portal

[hearty sluice]

Yeah, good to have a way out of swamps quickly. Although note that you can't carry metal ore or bars through portals

[lyric panther]

ohhhh i forgot about that. speaking of, do i have to worry about my karve when im in a crypt? specifically if its parked in the swamp. or would you say i should park it away from the swamp and run to it

sorry for all the questions lol

[hearty sluice]

Hmm, it should be fine while you are in the crypt. But if you are outside near the boat (or on the boat), it might be damaged

[lyric panther]

so as long as im in the crypt actively then mobs wont attack it outside?

[hearty sluice]

yeah, same with portals

[lyric panther]

alrighty awesome. does that just go for like distance in general? as long as im far away from a base i dont have to worry about it being destroyed?

[hearty sluice]

Yeah, enemies don't spawn in when you aren't near so the game won't lag

[lyric panther]

sweet

[sharp nova]

boar jerky plus mushroom
38 hp 38 stamina

cooked boar meat plus honey
38 hp 45 stamina

if you're overly stocked on mushrooms, don't have many carrots, and are running a little low on honey and boar meat, is the former a reasonable choice?

[hushed sigil]

If in doubt, a boat stops moving once everyone has left it so if you jump off it will stop and stay right there. I swim to shore and leave it out in the water away from rocks etc then swim back when done. Saves random mobs from deciding to trash it.

[barren rivet]

thats not bad, assuming your third food is some kind of meat, deer stew or bear maybe, you do eat 3 foods right?

[wind leaf]

I just installed BepInEx manually and the console window doesn't appear on launch

What did I do wrong

[lyric panther]

whats that?

[tired root]

Better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

[tired root]

Mod related stuff.

[lyric panther]

oh i see

[wind leaf]

Ok

[sharp nova]

deer or bear meat yeah

[barren rivet]

yeah thats fine, im usually scarce on mushrooms more than anything i dont eat em cuz theyre in several later recipes

[lyric panther]

im pre elder at the moment, what food would you guys recommend for like all rounder, like kinda equal health and stamina

[sharp nova]

i'm going to get immersed in the game for a while but while i'm in there

do boars stop reproducing if there's too many of them in a space too small?

[barren rivet]

yup

[barren rivet]

depends on your playstyle, if you run and dodge a lot or if you’re a parrying tanky boy. id do at least one meat or meat stew, rest is your style

[lyric panther]

would like deer stew, queens jam, and boar jerkey be good?

[barren rivet]

pretty peak black forest foods there. if you ever want an idea how much max hp you need to parry things you can check the blocking breakpoints spreadsheet pinned in the valheim-chat channel, or if you dont parry dont bother. with those foods you should be good if you have bronze buckler except vs star trolls

[tired root]

Deer stew, bear meat and queens jam/carrot soup would be solid food setup.

Boar jerky is more suited for building IMO.

[lyric panther]

i usually block with a tower shield or if i must roll

[lyric panther]

why so? i dont disagree im just curious

[tired root]

Too little amount of HP/stamina for combat etc when there are better options for either stat.

[ocean shoal]

being 50/50 isnt that bad for new players (try to use stam and get hit anyway on accident)

[tired root]

And duration being longer messes up a bit with the timing for eating again.

[ocean shoal]

personally i like the times to be different so i dont have to re-up all foods at the same time

[sharp nova]

a friend recommended mince meat sauce over jam for higher hp and still decent stamina

like, bear meat deer stew sauce, maybe replace one of those with boar jerky

[high flare]

How can I protect my farm from Lox’s? They just decided that my turnips HAD to go. I would use a dirt mound but I don’t want it to look ugly or block the view like would happen with a stone wall.

[barren rivet]

ya mince is good if you have carrots and tails to spare. honestly theres no wrong to any of these food questions peoples are asking its what works for you andnwhat you can afford

[tired root]

It's an option too, but it shares almost identical stats with bear meat.
Also usually better have at least 1 stamina food so you have enough stamina for actions.

[sharp nova]

honestly i go jam jerky more than i should i think the stamina helps me not make mistakes and run faster

sometimes i even go jam honey

jam jerky joney

[barren rivet]

lox you mean? if you’re at the plains you should at least make stone walls, they’re sturdy enough to give you time to shoo them away

[sharp nova]

[tired root]

Queens jam, carrot soup and deer stew is usually my setup for general exploring and delving in dungeons during black forest phase, then 2 HP 1 stamina for boss fight.

[high flare]

Typo that I fixed lol

[barren rivet]

hehe max stamina. well i love my max hp in case i have to parry star things but thats my playstyle, if yours is running 3 stamina foods sounds good lol

[sharp nova]

honey remains solid even in the face of jam i havent farmed enough carrots for the soup yet

[high flare]

Problem is stone wall is ugly af and takes away from the beauty of the plains and the view I created from the hill I built on

[sharp nova]

why face your probelms when you can run away very fast

[high flare]

Club exp

[barren rivet]

one cool style i liked once was stone walls bottom, then alternating wooden fortification and stone walls on top of the bottom stone 🤷‍♂️but if you build in the plains you gotta accept the reality of lox

[sharp nova]

yes! level up running past 50!

[green dragon]

checklist for swamp boss and mountains ? what do i need. i heard a club for swamp boss. anything else? what about mountains ? and most importantly...where can i find them golems. everywhere ? need window 😭

[high flare]

If you’re gonna run at least have the rat mead and the fenris kit

[barren rivet]

they are not into swamp yet

[sharp nova]

nearly there

so close

gonna smack the elder and build a home under his platform

just gotta relocate this copper, it's been a journey

[void otter]

If you place torches in the area around your base, then put a corewood beam ontop so just the top of the torch is visible, this will stop spawns in the area, and nearby mobs won't attack the torch because it is hidden inside the corewood.

[narrow python]

honestly, I prefer to opt for simple campfire spam

[sharp nova]

do i have to worry about mobs attacking my base's stone walls eventually breaking said walls?

[strong forge]

Kinda. Shamans, for example have an area of effect, so if they try to attack something behind a wall, the wall takes some damage

[subtle parrot]

Generally, no. If there's a raid, they will. Best to go outside during a raid.

[sharp nova]

i will never be ready for troll and worse raids. #u#

but i will keep them on. #u# i'll be ready with backups

[subtle parrot]

I usually just run around with the mobs chasing me until the raid ends and then kill them, unless i need some materials that the raid may provide.

[icy brook]

The raids really aren't bad

I've never had my base wrecked it'd only happen if your afk I think

[sharp nova]

the forest moved and my poor pre-swamp friend was caught off guard and died stopping building a house 🫠

[high flare]

Do blast furnaces also stop spawns? The area I’m making for my smelting is near the spawn point

[void otter]

I think they do yes.

[icy brook]

Greydwarfs don't do much damage to buildings luckily

[strong forge]

Try a couple of trolls grinning through your roof 🙂

[high flare]

Or a pair of Lox’s trying to say hello to the new neighbor

[strong forge]

Well, there's no Lox-event, is there?
Those trolls can pop up everywhere, anytime iirc 🙂

[unique sleet]

does anyone got a new game guide i honestly havent played since legacy saves

[ocean shoal]

game does a great job of guiding you itself imo 😄

[quartz phoenix]

Is longsword good? Like krom? Any tips on how to effectively use them in combat?

[steep tusk]

Krom is great.
At a baseline I would say it works best with a dodge-roll mentality, but if you have Evasion Mantle it can parry as well as most shields during the proc.

Also depends on difficulty.

[lyric panther]

how do i get seeds back from crops? im not getting any seeds from my carrots

[steep tusk]

Plant the carrots again and they will be seed carrots.

[lyric panther]

oh so seed carrots will grow into seed producing crops? i thought it was decor stuff

[steep tusk]

Plant 1 seed = 1 carrot
Plant 1 carrot = seed carrot = 3 seeds
So to grow your volume, keep 1/3 or less of your carrots, plant the rest.
To keep the exact same number, keep 2/3 and replant 1/3 for seeds.

This applies to carrots, turnips, onions, and the mistlands mushrooms.

[lyric panther]

alrighty thank you so much, i was punching my grown carrots trying to get seeds lol

[steep tusk]

😭

[quartz phoenix]

Thanks. I guess this means I have to work with dodge-roll thing. I always parry or block incoming attacks. I always use Mistwalker and shield but this time I'd like to try Krom to reduce the items in my inventory.

[steep tusk]

There's a decent amount you can still parry baseline.
It's just that Mantle is OP and allows you to parry even more.
See blocking sheet for exact details.

[hushed sigil]

Awesome. I tried smashing them with the wooden mallet when I first wondered how to get more seeds. I also thought for a while you only get seeds from the biome where they grow so that made them much harder to get and grow. Eventually I mistakenly planted the seed carrot plants and then 🤦🏼‍♂️

[lyric panther]

lmao i tried that too, i tried with the cultivator and the hammer to remove it lmao

[hushed sigil]

You are not alone!!

[torpid musk]

any mods here?

[finite plover]

I want to do a Maulclaw build and just beat Yagluth. Is their a armor I should use other then Vilebone? What about trinkets?

[steep tusk]

At your stage, that is the armor to use.
Later you will swap it for Ask.

Trinket-wise you're probably looking at Bronze vs. Iron vs. Wolf.

[finite plover]

Bronze Pendant, Iron Brooch, Wolf Sight?

[steep tusk]

Yeah. Based on if you want stamina regen, durability, or damage increase.

Nimble Anklet might be worth looking at as an alternate stamina option.

[barren rivet]

i like using krom’s alt attack to initiate combat, the thing is either dead or staggered by it. but a krom without evasion mantle is still plenty to parry seeker soldiers and morgans which is where their damage really shines, parry a solder and leaping stab its butt for 1k damage

[gleaming sun]

whats the best trinket in the black forest?

[tired root]

I would say bronze pendant is superior over heart of the forest.

[sturdy folio]

-# Can't be the heart of the forest if everything hates you

[sharp nova]

OH
i thought you got carrot seeds by just leaving carrots to keep growing

[tired root]

They need replanting, yeah.

[lament shadow]

the cultivator will have options for plating the crop or the seeds for the crop. to get more carrot seeds replant carrots, turnip, ect..

[quartz phoenix]

I tried it against a charred soldier and I feel like I had a little advantage against it

[marble roost]

Krom is a very nice engager

Against charred I do prefer silver sword tho

[barren rivet]

charred soldier is where i like to initiate with a stab since you cant really followup a parry on them. then you can immediately parry or dodge or swing again depending on what happens

alao great on a charging asksvin, you can stagger them with stab and then finish them off instead of using your military grade telescope to see when their bite attack is happening

[urban zenith]

i planted vineberries and they didnt grow can someone help me out?

[frosty frost]

You need to plant them close to the wall 😄

[urban zenith]

the orignal bush is gone, and its growing on the wall but no viine berry

[frosty frost]

And its a very specific distance, you have to be quite precise

[urban zenith]

wall was basically sticking to it, whats the distance

[frosty frost]

Then you just need to wait for it so spread 😄

[urban zenith]

its been 15 days ig atleast

[marble roost]

I've never tried planting vineberries, but all I've ever heard about planting them is bugs, incredibly slow growth, and frustration

[frosty frost]

They did have a bug where the clusters didnt want to grow/despawned for a very long time, not sure if it was fixed or not 🤔

[thorn spire]

My last playthrough I never had an issue with them, but honestly I found the slow growth annoying. I think I ended up making a chain of portals instead.

[urban zenith]

i have a 3 storey wall, the bush doesnt grow beyond the second height wall, its just a tiny patch

[thorn spire]

they have a spread limit, for sure. I don't know what the height is.

[crystal knoll]

oh you can tpost image here, mlemms friend here

[frosty frost]

You can post in screenshot channel,here it was dissabled beacause bots posted ton of scamy stuff here

[crystal knoll]

#screenshots message

[crystal knoll]

this ^

[frosty frost]

Should be able to spread further from what i can see, but you can try planting some more on the sides

[crystal knoll]

i couldnt see the health of the ashkvine before. So I destroyed it and made a new one

where I can see the health, plus I think mlemm destoryed the previous wall and replaced it

[frosty frost]

Health? You can see if they are healthy, or need more space when you plant them, but once they grow they dont show anything

[teal moon]

is it possible if I rent a server now that i can do it with my already existing world and how do i do it and where you can the best hosting

[frosty frost]

Folks in #dedicated-server might be able to help with some of this 😄

[teal moon]

thanks dawg

[marble roost]

Should be plenty possible to uploade existing save to a dedicated server

[fresh rapids]

Do you guys know what shape of roof should be built on an L-shaped house and where the roof support beams should be placed?

[frosty frost]

I would say two A-shaped roofs conected at right angle to each other? 😄

[lyric panther]

is deer stew, queens jam, and cooked bear meat fine for elder?

[frosty frost]

Yep, tho carrot soup would be better stam food and minced meat sauce or bear meat would be better for hp.

[lyric panther]

lol i was super low on carrots so i went for like 10 dear stew instead of 3 carrot stew

and made queens jam for stam

[marble roost]

Sounds good. Good luck!

[lyric panther]

ty ty, i think ill succeed

[marble roost]

I think you will as well

[sharp nova]

@lyric panther i think deer stew provides better stats than minced meat sauce but minced meat sauce is just about as good as bear meat (mostly adding 1 hp / tick)

[true steeple]

bear meat doesn't need neck tails

[lyric panther]

rq, im having to sail through a plains to get to the elder. i have bear and bronze gear, what do i do if a bug starts flying toward me? is it just over atp?

[true steeple]

deathsquitos have 10 health, if you hit it first you'll be ok. it will be safest to do this with a ranged weapon

how close to land are you?

[lyric panther]

are u fr?? ive literally never even attempted fighting one, i thought they were cannons throughout in general

[sinful moth]

prepare your bow and shoot when they come towards u

[lyric panther]

maybe 30 meters on either side? i cant say for sure. close enough to load some trees and giant rocks, but i havent seen any enemies or structures load yet

[true steeple]

you'll be fine, they don't travel far from where they spawn

[lyric panther]

thats a relief. idk if they changed it, but i remember a few years ago when i played they chased me for a whillle on my boat

[vital tapir]

I died a few times on my boat when I got too close my first time. When I found out about the 10hp I started taking them out with my bow. If they are already coming the trick is to not panic and fire too soon, they come straight at you so just line up and wait til close then fire. At this point I just use my sword as I've got the timing down to hit them first.

[quartz phoenix]

In regards to feast, is it possible to eat three slots of the same meal? For example, 3 servings of plains picnic platter?

[hearty sluice]

No. Has to be 3 different foods

[barren rivet]

if you run from them its very likely they hit the tail of your boat and die lol

[barren rivet]

and another good tip is if you must dodge, dodge INTO them so they attack during your dodge. it feels counter intuitive to dodge into danger but its the safest

[quartz phoenix]

Okay, thank you

[fresh rapids]

ohh it makes sense. but how do I place those support beams on the ceiling so that the middle X thingy doesn't fall apart all the time?

[subtle parrot]

If you take a screenshot of what you have and put it in the #building-screenshots channel, we can see what you're having trouble with and suggest some options from there. But if you're having support issues with the roof, try using some corewood beams to add extra support.

[lyric panther]

what would yall recommend for keeping enemies from spawning? i created a large area for my base but they just spawn inside the walls instead

[fresh rapids]

Alright

[full mesa]

Campfires are nice if you put them in the ground and just cover them up with terrain

[lyric panther]

alrighty thanks!

[scenic patrol]

Dumb question,If I'm hosting and have mods, do all players need the mods as well to use them? Hasn't come up before.

[jade rapids]

Ask in #mods-issues or #mods-discussion

[sharp nova]

i have a weird request.

can someone make a graphic with a series of lines heading out from center at each of the possible valheim building angles?

i'd like to overlay it on a map to figure out how i want to orient a road

[lethal swift]

are the bells consumed when i summon fader

[drowsy crane]

A little confused by the request, why would you need the road to follow building angles?

[sharp nova]

so i can mostly accurately predict where two points very far away will meet not travelling laterally or longitudinally

(up/down or left/right on the map)

[drowsy crane]

That seems like a lot of work for a very uniform path, I would suggest making a straight and turning toward the other point you want it to meet just as you're about to pass by it.

[sharp nova]

it's a very very long path and it's suspended in the air

made of stone arches possibly supported by metal

it doesnt have to be exact and it'd be better to get it right the first time

.
since yall are protesting.
better question.

at how many angles can i place blocks in valheim?

(i can use drawing software to make this schema myself)

[smoky thicket]

how do people build their bases?

do you flatten land or just build

[barren rivet]

depends, you can build on a foundation that's slightly elevated or not, a lot of times my floor is dirt so i flatten of course XD

[smoky thicket]

i just started a new world cos the person i play with is on holiday and im just curious

not played for a while

[terse cedar]

clutch

[grave lodge]

Does a fire resistance mead do anything to help you for the lava in the ashlands? like being able to stand in it longer or take less damage

[tired root]

No, but heat resistance does (only a little tho).

[true steeple]

lava and ashlands water are only reduced by 'heat resistance' on flametal armor

[grave lodge]

Aha, noted noted, ty

[jolly tapir]

Dang. So no point in crafting the resistance meads to go to ashlands?

[tired root]

Few enemies deal fire damage, so if you use feather cape you want to use fire res wine too.

[drowsy crane]

Being confused and offering a different approach is protesting? Sorry for trying to help.

[brisk hazel]

is the dragon bed the only extra comfort item at the mountains stage?

[sharp nova]

i was planning on making it very very narrow turning would be quite hazardous

no one actually helped gng

gng is a sobbing face

[jolly tapir]

I thought it meant gang 🤔

[sharp nova]

i think it's misinterpreted very often

sorry for the response omni

[azure crow]

i also thought u were referring to yourself in third person as gang

that'd be funny

[sharp nova]

no one actually helped, invisible gang of friends.

[jolly tapir]

I mean you can press E to see all the snapping points while you have something selected in your hammer. Some objects have none some only have a couple, some have like 5

[brisk hazel]

when im cooking and i hold shift to cook 5 of something - does this increase the chance of an extra drop from my skills? or is it better to craft 1 at a time?

[jolly tapir]

You get the same skills either way 🙂

[brisk hazel]

nah im not talking about leveling up the skills - lets say i have a 5% chance of getting an extra item when cooking does that multiply to 25% when i do 5 or just stay at 5%?

[hollow kayak]

ye usually first i flatten a good sized area with the hoe then build on top of it

[jolly tapir]

Well now you're out of my field. Wdym you get an extra item? As far as I know you only get what you're cooking and that cooking skill?

[brisk hazel]

lets say i was cooking onion soup - i have a chance to get 2 onion soup everytime i craft one

so if i craft 5x onion soup holding shift does it increase the chance i get an extra onion soup?

[sharp nova]

high skill in farming means a chance of getting 2 of the item you're collecting during the harvest

um.

the crafting thing is a lil nutty

[brisk hazel]

yeah so at level 100 you get a 25% chance of an extra craft - if i craft 5 at once does that 25% increase?

[sharp nova]

have you confirmed this? that's a lot

[brisk hazel]

thats what it says on the skill wiki for valheim skills

[steep tusk]

Chance doesn't but it compounds the "increase" when it does proc if you use the x5.

[sturdy crane]

Is there a way I can apply the removedrops dev command globally? I am hosting a server and with 8 players there is a lot of stuff all over, and going to every area players have been to in order to run this command in a certain radius will be quite time consuming

[steep tusk]

For example: If you cook 5 things one by one and it procs twice, you would get 5 +2.

If you do the x5 and it procs twice, the second proc adds an additional to the first one, so you end up with 5 +3.

[brisk hazel]

ah ok im with you so it makes no difference if io use the x5 when crafting as i will get the same bonus

[steep tusk]

Um... HOW was that your conclusion?

Option A: +2
Option B: +3
You: "Those are the exact same number."

[brisk hazel]

oh i see

[steep tusk]

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[brisk hazel]

so if it procs on the x5 i will get more

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[brisk hazel]

ok thank you for explaining so defo better to use the x5 craft

[steep tusk]

If you cook 5 one by one and get all 5 procs, you get +5
If you do it x5 and it all procs I believe you get +15.

Proc chance also applies to the coal you get from burning food btw.

[brisk hazel]

oh ok thank you very much

[steep tusk]

Which makes the Seeker Meat -> Coal method even better.

[sinful moth]

So it would be better to craft 1 bronze with 5x instead of the 5 bronze option?

[sharp nova]

if the rates are the same in the long run at 100 skill there's little difference

in the practical sense crafting bronze multiple times means multiple crafting skill levellings

[sinful moth]

@sharp nova I was referring to this

[steep tusk]

It's even better better to craft 25 with the 5x5 option 😏😉

[steep tusk]

The rate with x5 is like 12% higher iirc.

[true steeple]

faster but not better

[steep tusk]

BETTAHR!

[true steeple]

better for cheap bronze at least, it is better if better = faster

[sharp nova]

i think you may or may not have wildly misunderstood how math works

sevrahn ended up being right because x5 has higher dupe rates tho

allegedly anyway.

[sinful moth]

Oh wait if it happens at 5x I get 5 bonus ones

mb

[true steeple]

the rate is the same but the bonus amount is increased when you get multiple bonuses in a single craft

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Crafting_(skill)

Using the x5 crafting option is even more advantageous, as a cumulative mechanism adds even more additional items. Possible yields are +1, +3, +6, +10 and +15 (instead of +1 to +5 by crafting the same 5 items 1 by 1)

[sharp nova]

hmm

i think crafting one at a time still raises your craft skill more

[steep tusk]

You saying I merely "ended up being right" hurts my soul... 😭

[true steeple]

5x craft is 5x skill

[steep tusk]

My understanding was their question was about how to get the most stuff, not level the skill the fastest.

[sharp nova]

imagine having my soul 💔 🖤

i'm sorry i'm a little ticked right now

i realized i've been needlessly abrasive

irl friend was a dumbass

doesnt truly excuse my behavior

[obtuse light]

Hello so I rented a server on zaphosting, how do I get my world on that dedicated server?

[hushed garden]

They probably have instructions?

[thorn spire]

You can probably find help in #dedicated-server

[obtuse light]

Thanks!

[brisk hazel]

do serpents spawn in the same places?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[lyric panther]

why does it always start raining or storming when i enter the ocean? is that normal or am i just unlucky

[serene tangle]

You are unlucky, weather is always deterministic

[rapid mountain]

Any valheim experts here, is the brutal slayer any good and what is the preferred playstyle with it

[sharp nova]

with black forest tier items, is it possible to exceed the health you would get from bear meat, mince sauce, and deer stew together?

[steep tusk]

If that is the red one, no.
Red weapons are not as good as blue/green.

We are hoping they rework them.

[thorn spire]

I don't have much experience with it, but it's a tricky one to manage. You need to prioritize health foods and keep your own health low to maximize damage from it. If you can manage though, the DPS is insane.

[barren rivet]

most people pair them with blood shield because they do more dmg based on missing hp. but the numbers arent as good as lightning plus lightning bounces. or green roots things in place also way better than a little extra damage

[tired root]

It looks very cool at least.

[barren rivet]

i admit i ran around once with blood shield and brutal slayer and went weeee im an anime!

[compact heath]

but green is my fav colour so jade weapons for me 🙂

[sharp nova]

@drowsy crane i realized i don't actually have a lot of angle options so i stuck some platforms down where it felt right and will build from there

[sharp nova]

so you were right

[untold plover]

due to some problems i want to fresh install the game [steam] are the worlds and characters saved on the cloud so after deinstalling the game and all game files is my world and character still therte?

[icy brook]

Yeah they're saved on cloud

But I'd double check

I think you can manually save them to cloud ingame

In the character/world selection menu

[drowsy crane]

Glad you found something that will work 👍

[sharp nova]

@drowsy crane it actually doesn't work yet, i need iron for structural support so it'll be suspended in the air without disintegrating. but first i'd like help with this point if it can be recieved. i don't want to spam

[untold plover]

hmmm

i fresh installed the game but still everytime i try launch in VULKAN mode it crashes

[tired root]

Switch to DirectX.

[untold plover]

yeah but dx11 runs worse then vulkan , dx11 is bit stuttery on amd

[tired root]

Vulkan has currently crashing issues since last game engine update.

[untold plover]

you find dx11 stuttery for you

and also damn willybachs graphic mods are amazing

[tired root]

I actually switched back to DX but don't see much difference in performance.

[untold plover]

performance is great

just stuttery sometimes

[tired root]

Have you tried launching without mods? They might possibly affect too.

[untold plover]

alr did that what gpu have you got?

[tired root]

And when you said fresh installement did you also delete mod folders in game files?

[untold plover]

ive just moved the mod files to desktop, then just delete all the files in the game folder and reinstalled the game

the game files are all freshly installed , im using a 9070xt and amd is pretty crappy with dx11 unity in general is just a stuttery mess in most games

[tired root]

Right.

The issue with Vulkan is noted tho and hopefully get fix soon.

[untold plover]

what gpu are you using

[tired root]

I have GTX 1060 still. Planning to change.

[untold plover]

well not much choice in the current market lol

hope they hurry up with the deep north man

[tired root]

I have spare one luckily already, but haven't yet made time for the change.

[untold plover]

nice well anything is gonna be a significant change from a 1060

[tired root]

For sure, might even play BG3 with better resolutions.

[jade olive]

If you build Dvergr stakes you lose all the mats for those correct? If so is there any point in makeing them other for the larger health?

[high flare]

What’s to know about servers and “community servers”? Like info in general

[steep tusk]

All servers are community servers. There are no "official Valheim servers."

[high flare]

But what do servers do? For friends joining I get but can’t they just join off of you without having a server?

[ocean shoal]

the idea of a (dedicated) server instead of joining on you, is that the world exists whether or not the first person is online, so you can make progress, log off, the other people can log in whenever, the world is like that still

[unborn hinge]

is it possible to grow yggdrasil trees or no?

[tired root]

Correct, not possible.

[unborn hinge]

unfortunate

[tired root]

They're finite, but plentiful tho.

[compact heath]

imo hardest wood to get, probably walk past some because of the small whislight radius sometimes, and some fall in the water where its deep and can't be bothered to try push them somewhere where i can continue chopping

[tired root]

I mean, they are plentiful, but they are found also in higher elevation, which makes them harder to acquire.

[compact heath]

wish there was some denser forested area for them sometimes

[barren rivet]

ooo, a poi where the ground is FLAT and theres a cool forest of them

[compact heath]

Could pop that in the #suggestions channel actually

[barren rivet]

or what might be more fun is if ribcages had like a 10% chance to spawn with trees growing through them, then its also like what magic from these ancient giants encourages their growth? and we get a small boon of wood

and they dont need to program some new thing cuz ribs spawn where flat anyway, ok that one i want to suggest

[glad current]

The trees sprout from the cut off branch of Yggdrasil, though, not from the giants

[barren rivet]

sure, but they also stick out of rocks and everywhere else.

i dont mean the giants are the source, only a magical fertilizer of some sort, they have magicy essence in their skulls why not in their bodies too

[sharp nova]

real quick

do i unlock the metal necessary for supported stone structures when i reach the swamp?

[sharp nova]

it seems like unironed 1x2 has an only slightly quicker height stability decay than an unironed stone 2x1?

judging by the colors

[sharp nova]

unsupported stone pillars seem to go up 3 blocks higher than unsupported interlocking 1x2s

12 versus 15

uncertain if this difference is meaningful especially with impending iron support

[sharp nova]

6.5 sets of 2 versus 8 sets of 1...

[frosty frost]

Dont really try to apply real world physics to your builds 😄 (unless its for the looks of it ofc 🙂 ) the game simply looks at the material/build piece, and shortest route to a "grounded" point for each piece and calculates stability based on that. So a beam supported by 20 individual pieces of wood all of which are going straight from ground to it will be just as much supported as if it were only a single wood piece supporting it. 🙂

[sharp nova]

i set up 2 1x2 next to eachother in layered squares so if one of them breaks the whole thing doesn't collapse

not sure what would happen if i placed 2 pillars next to eachother, they don't seem to collapse either

i imagine the sideways support algorithms are less than optimal though

especially for stone

[frosty frost]

Support does degrade faster if you go sideways 🙂

[sharp nova]

it would be a little nutty but very possible for destroying a pillar on the bottom to break a road piece up top

[smoky thicket]

anyone know why my game is running 30fps

vsync isnt on btw

[frosty frost]

Ehm... Bit more info would be helpful? 😅

[smoky thicket]

want me to dm you my graphics setting?

i am using an rtx 2080

its getting progressively worse

its 20fps now

[frosty frost]

Well i dont know enough to do more than advise to lower your settings a bit, and/or revert any changes you might have done if it is a recent thing.

[smoky thicket]

Nvm my computer just crashed

It's not the game

[frosty frost]

Oh, thats not good...

[smoky thicket]

It's ok

Not the first time it's happened

Think I just need to change thermal paste

[frosty frost]

CPU overheating would fit with the gradual performance loss indeed, but it is strange if it just now started doing that 🤔

[smoky thicket]

Nvm I think I need to do the drivers

The CPU is relatively low

[frosty frost]

Always a good idea to check the drivers

[smoky thicket]

It's not the first time my computer has crashed like that but it's a bit strange it's only valheim

Tho I have had my computer on for like 7-8 hours today

[frosty frost]

If it were a CPU problem then i would say its not that strange, since valheim can be, and is, quite CPU hungry 😄

[smoky thicket]

I think it will be fine now

Thinking about restarting it anyway

[warped abyss]

Can you hivenen tips for mist-lands

Give*

[frosty frost]

Listen for sounds enemies make, since visibility is quite low 🙂

[glad current]

Move slow, wait for the mists to clear before taking that first step off a rock outcropping

[warped abyss]

Okkke

Thanks

[static quartz]

Hi there! On your map, in the Mistlands, the blackest part of the map usually means it is totally clear of mist... great for base building. Hopefully you have a wisplight or mist-walker sword... if not, you need to beat Yagluth in order to get the special materials to craft those items eventually.

[halcyon talon]

Hello so I have just completed my first go at the mountains and recovered lots of silver. My question is am I expected to create a new forge setup at each new biome I discover? Also like forge upgrades take iron which is in my last forge outpost on the other side of my map seems like a lot am I missing something?

[tired root]

All upgrades are available in swamp era, up to level 7 forge.

[halcyon talon]

So are you saying I do need to make a forge outpost at each new biome and I should prioritize it being next to a swamp as well?

[static quartz]

I usually just boat all of the ore back to my main base and do the smelting there.

[tired root]

Ah, missed that part. Not really expected, since you can mine, carry ores to boat and sail them to your base.

[halcyon talon]

That’s a good idea I probably need to make the bigger boat with more storage

[tired root]

I just said all upgrades for forge are available during swamp era, so no new upgrades after.

[tired root]

Have you crafted iron nails?

[halcyon talon]

I have just to unlock recipes.

Appreciate the beginner help I knew there had to be a better way.

[tired root]

Sailing is one intented way to carry your ores/metals to your base.

[static quartz]

You can probably see why so many people turn on the option to portal metal and special items when they first set up their world, but I like the grind of boating it! Then you get to kill serpents and brave the Viking sea! The key is a big boat, the belt, troll potion and the Moder forsaken power to carry as much as you can.

[tired root]

There is this certain feeling when you have boat full of metals and you sail and see your base appearing in front of you when you arrive. 👌

[barren rivet]

right, and you can stumble upon merchants, serpents, boss alters, build locations, anything can happen. if you only portal you can't have the pinnacle valheim experience of crash landing into a biome higher than your gear because a storm and a serpent made you.

[lyric panther]

is the bonemass swamp more likely to be filled with loot and stuff? like a better quality swamp in general

[steep tusk]

RNG.

Sometimes Bonemass is the only thing in the Bonemass swamp.

[barren rivet]

every time for me its been juiced

[jolly tapir]

Can chickens eat carrot seeds?

[crisp pawn]

can anyone help me with something in building tips?

[barren rivet]

any veggie seeds

[near garnet]

Is it just me or is the karve actually harder to maneuver than the raft?

[frosty frost]

And dandelions+barley 😄

[barren rivet]

never not my dandelions!

[jolly tapir]

It's super fast you just have to adjust fornthat, little movements. I love karves

[frosty frost]

That i would say only you, karve steers so easily you dont usually even need to have the steering at max 😄

[near garnet]

Like I'll go backwards to back out of wherever I've "parked" it and once it's turned around it takes irl minutes before paddling forward actually makes it go forward

Maybe I just struggle with maneuvering at speed 🤷‍♀️

[tacit breach]

I don't dock pointing inland. I parallel dock.

Parallel to the land.

I usually have the wind in my favor when I leave.

[sharp nova]

is building like i'm laying bricks significantly worse for my valheim lain stone stability

i'm only six blocks high and i'm not sure i can go much further even though 8 is possible directly on top of eachother

if that makes any sense

[tacit breach]

You do eventually need to use iron.

[tired root]

Picture might help giving tips. Like posting in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202310893757530142

But stone structures will need iron support.

[tacit breach]

Currently you can get away with using core wood for supprt.

20 meters is about the limit with core wood.

Also make sure it goes directly to the ground.

Wood or iron support works best directly to the ground.

[solid nymph]

Hey everyone o/ Valheim seems to make my gpu run pretty hard. I've done the basics and adjusted my settings, especially putting a framerate cap on. That helped a ton, but is there anything else I can do? The performance isn't the issue, but I'm a little worried about putting too much stress on my gpu. Any other tips/recommendations? thanks

[tacit breach]

There are videos on YouTube specific to Valheim. One is in the pins here.

[solid nymph]

Sweet, thank you. I swear I checked the pins! Just glossed right over it, oops

[sharp nova]

i mean like

[jolly tapir]

Do stone hearths....not warm eggs?

[tired root]

Are they under shelter too?

[tacit breach]

Also be careful after hatching, they love to jump into fires.

[jolly tapir]

Yes. I guess I didn't wait long enough for it to show up they're warming now

[jolly tapir]

Oh no 😂 there goes that plan, I was gonna keep them inside

[tired root]

Just build walls around the fires so they don't get themselves killed by it.

[jolly tapir]

Alright so iron cage walls will work lol

[cerulean jackal]

it wont let me place forge bellows any help?

[glad current]

Bellows have to be RIGHT AGAINST the forge. Almost touching

[icy brook]

Has to be behind the forge and facing towards the forge

[valid hearth]

im currently around the plains area in my playthrough and i was wondering for the future whats a great melee and mage build to make im unsure this time around

[unborn hinge]

anyone have suggestions on making stone walls less....ugly/plain?

[steep tusk]

Use marble?

[unborn hinge]

supposed to be a fortress, pure marble looks kinda tacky in the plains

[steep tusk]

We define tacky extremely differently.
So I doubt I can be of further help.

[unborn hinge]

let me grab a picture when its less dark out

[steep tusk]

There is legit no scenario in which I find my absolute favorite building material to be tacky. 🤷‍♂️

[unborn hinge]

im probably not used to it yet but the structure is already fully built

[unborn hinge]

#mods-screenshots message here you go since it has modded ui its in there

[ornate finch]

Which GPU do you have and why are you worried? Dangerous temperatures?

[void otter]

https://youtu.be/Egw76oTUofM?si=3nYJ1TvTu6HOxkEJ

[unborn hinge]

whats this

[void otter]

YouTube vid by Smitty survival about making stone walls look good.

[solid nymph]

i have a 3070ti, one of my temps was peaking at like 85C, so not dangerous... but higher than any other games i play

I limited the fps even more tho and turned off AA so its sitting at a nice 70C now so im happy

[green dragon]

are rocky spawns linked to seeds ? and if so is a seed with two in close proximity sth worth noting ? basically both in sightrange of the elder. i honestly cant judge if its worth sharing. when mining i found one mysterious stone on the ground was happy came back a day later to farm more stone and found another one both just a few seconds away from my portal at elder

[quaint gazelle]

qq about wards in a dedicated server. If I set them up, basically people won't be able to build/destroy items within a radius of it even the ward? Or is it just for getting a ping when mobs attack outside?

We're playing with someone who's breaking beds even when we were fighting Queen, so we wanted to avoid that from happening again if ever.

[smoky thicket]

Might have more luck asking here https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736

[quaint gazelle]

Oh thank you! Didn't see that one

[smoky thicket]

Np

[sharp nova]

can me and twig trample planted carrots if the carrots are around him

[frosty frost]

You can hit them and destroy them, but just walking on them will not do anything 🙂

[sharp nova]

not jumping either?

what about twig's thrown rocks?

[frosty frost]

Jumping will also not do anything, rocks might.

[gleaming sun]

is there a way to like farm wood (efficiently)

[barren rivet]

imo if someone is breaking your spawn while you’re fighting a boss you need to remove that person from your world and set a password they dont know

[barren rivet]

what biome are you up to?

[gleaming sun]

almost at swamps at this playthru

[barren rivet]

at the moment, trolls are really good at breaking trees and copper if you’re comfortable dodging them. you’ll also find the next forsaken power of interest, and there’s a big giant battleaxe you can make with swamp materials that cleaves everything in front of you for full damage thats great at chopping

[gleaming sun]

yea thanks
also i think i might make a greydwarf farm for allat good stuff

[barren rivet]

simpler technique is cut down every tree first and letting them land on each other and break and chain reaction which is also quite enjoyable XD

[barren rivet]

nahhhh just play mob farms are for minecraft

[gleaming sun]

[barren rivet]

you’ll get so much resin and stone just killing and mining other stuff

[sharp nova]

chop down pine trees and outfit your base with spiked corewood

use the remaining normal wood for what you need

[barren rivet]

there’s nobody who plays this game who doesn’t have at least one chest full of resin and greydwarf eyes they don’t need

[sharp nova]

torches everywhere fireelmo.gif

[glad current]

They’ve started making excellent obliterator fodder at this point.

[barren rivet]

im too much of a hoarder to obliterate eyes and resin. even without portals, like what if i want to make a blue themed castle?

[barren compass]

that's why I can't play without mods

[barren rivet]

i dont get the connection

[glad current]

I can easily get a whole nother chest in a quick foray through the forest, i am in no way concerned about a shortage

[barren rivet]

butbutbut.. what if you need TWO chests right away? ..what if.... what if you need the things? (hoarding energy intensifies)

[hollow kayak]

this is true

so much resin so little use

[narrow python]

As someone who routinely has 20+ sconces around the base, the resin gets used up quite quickly in the late game

[barren compass]

a mod to increase item stacks = problem solved

[hollow kayak]

I can see that

Sconces are my preferred lighting as well but they burn through resin slowly tbh

And that’s a good thing

[narrow python]

yeah, but if you spend hours AFK leveling with TWIG, on a server where time is elapsing even if you're not playing...

[smoky thicket]

Resin at my base gets used up for fire arrows and portals quite frequently

[frosty frost]

Portals?

[smoky thicket]

Wait they are not used?

[frosty frost]

Nope, portals need eyes, finewood and cores

[smoky thicket]

I am mistaken then

Mb

[frosty frost]

Tho if you make a lot of scones or just torches you will still use quite a bit of it 😄

[smoky thicket]

I placed quite a few standing torches around my first base which is very resin demanding

[fallen hare]

So i have two monitors and when i watch youtube while playing valheim it lags is there a way to fix

[smoky thicket]

Turn down the graphics settings?

[fallen hare]

ohh im so dumb, thx

[smoky thicket]

np

[sharp nova]

do carrots glow slower in shadow

[barren rivet]

shadow? no, they die if there's a roof over them tho

[glad current]

If they’re under a tree, the leaves can move and make them stop growing until the sky above is clear again.

[sharp nova]

what about when it's directly next to a high stone wall?

[crystal kiln]

height doesnt matter

[sharp nova]

in the middle of the day they're shadowed behind the wall

[crystal kiln]

doesnt matter

unless you planted them so close that their models collide

[sharp nova]

just to be safe i planted them in other spots where they were growing faster

after harvesting

i'm currently growing exclusively carrot seeds

[crystal kiln]

growth time is just a bit rng iirc

[sharp nova]

if i break apart twig with a hammer will he drop all his components

[hearty sluice]

Yes

[sharp nova]

cool

[hearty sluice]

One of the only things that doesn't is spikes

And the fuel of campfires etc.

[sharp nova]

i'd figured the latter out by now

[slow scaffold]

hi all, im 100% new to the game. Is there any way to get the Lox saddle befor killing Moder?

[high flare]

Do trolls randomly leave troll caves or do some caves just not spawn a troll?

[marble roost]

Some don’t spawn a troll

They can’t leave

[true steeple]

it needs black metal, so no.

linen thread also needs moder

[slow scaffold]

ahh damn it, thank you 🙂

[high flare]

Thanks

Off to find a new cave :(

[gusty dirge]

Hi fellas, does anybody have extra undead bear thropy? it just doesnt drop for me. killed like 50, i just cant do that anymore)

[frosty frost]

51st will be the one surely

[tidal flicker]

still on first playthrough and pretty nooby, in mountain biome. had a question about combat. when would you want to use a 2 handed weapon? it seems like parrying is just so powerful with 1handed and shield

[frosty frost]

2 handed weapons are usually great for groups of enemies 🙂

Atgeirs especially excel at that, but battleaxes are awesome too

2-handed hammers are also really good for groups in bit more specific situations/playstyle. They only have one attack that is kinda slow, but it is AoE 😄

[undone fulcrum]

Sooo..... Let's say I accidently launched a legendary sword from my catapult. Does the catapult destroy weapons that it launches?

[frosty frost]

I doesnt... Buuuuuuut you might have hard time finding it 😅

[undone fulcrum]

I launched another weapon to test it and can't find that one either. I assumed it's just gone

[drowsy crane]

Oh it is gone, but only because you won't likely find it.

[undone fulcrum]

I'm launching an extensive search and rescue mission currently. No sword left behind

[barren rivet]

in my experience it deletes the item

ive launched too many items before i swore off the stupid things, and definitely thoroughly searched where it landed

[sharp nova]

my guess is because of physics the item is in a very different place from the rock

[foggy pasture]

any tips for yagluth? (or someone willing to help fight it with me?)

[barren rivet]

fire resist, ratatosk if possible, watch the skies, use the arena for cover/line of sight, silver weapon with spirit damage. you can do it!

[marble roost]

Been a while since I’ve done it but I don’t think it has changed, so I second Yacko that anything put in the catapult gets deleted

Sucks though, if you want you can spawn it back in with commands

[lyric panther]

since i got the wish bone, would it be better to mine surface iron that i find, or should i still stick to crypts

[halcyon talon]

whats the point of the wooden weapons?

[halcyon talon]

I was getting alot out of the crypts and not much on the surface but Im farely new.

[lyric panther]

its actually pretty neat, they're like training weapons. so if you wanna fight something or someone, theres a wood variant for every weapon type so you can train without fear of major injury

[halcyon talon]

Is it better than the TWIG target dummy guy

[lyric panther]

i cant say personally, never made a TWIG lol, but i dont believe they give any like bonus benefits (i may be wrong), i think their main purpose is doing 1 damage so you can avoid death when training

[high flare]

Will fullings respawn at their stone houses?

Or could I toss a workbench down and claim it as mine?

[lyric panther]

i dont believe so. i always see cleared ones empty when i visit back

[undone fulcrum]

I have a home at a converted fuling tower. Might be the workbench keeping them away

[lyric panther]

oh wait i thought you said greydwarf lol, i wouldnt know

[undone fulcrum]

Crypts have way more IMO. But if you need a couple for a stone cutter and can't find a crypt they are nice

[lyric panther]

oh no i need a ton lol

[tropic panther]

for silver do i have to dig or sm? I have the wishbone and its not picking anything up

[stoic trench]

Keep searching mountain biomes, and make sure you’re pretty far high. Not every mountain is tall enough to generate silver.

[icy brook]

Circle him it'll help a lot

He's slow so he won't be able to hit you much

[foggy pasture]

I got the gear I feel like I never get a chance to attack him

tyy!

[icy brook]

You basically just hug really close to him and walk circles around him while you attack

And he'll circle too slow to melee you. Youll still need to watch out for his big aoe and meteors

[foggy pasture]

okay so like a dark souls boss

[static quartz]

If you are getting a ping while wearing the wishbone, it will get faster and faster as you get to the spot where you will need to dig. Once you strike the ore (not necessarily break a piece of it, but just strike it) the ping will stop, unless there is another vein close by as well, then that will start to ping.

[static quartz]

I like to dig around the silver vein with a regular, low level pickaxe, then save the good pickaxe to actually mine the silver. Holler if you need help!

[icy brook]

Is it equipped?

And are you high enough in the mountains? It won't spawn until pretty high. The easiest way to tell you are high enough is if there's obsidian around

[thick canopy]

I need serious help with beating yagluth anybosy know how to get rid of a fuling village, tar pit and yagluth all at once?

[marble roost]

Make the fulings and tar blobs fight

Drag everyone away from yag so you can fight them uninterrupted

[thick canopy]

the tar are dead thanks to a beserker

and yagluth was dragged too far out from his alter to pathfind back so he now wanders around my area so there is no losing him rlly

[undone fulcrum]

If you destroy the buildings less spawn, I think you can lance the tarpit boil and that might stop them from spawning. Using a hoe to cover the tar pit also might work.

[thick canopy]

so if I need to get away from where my portal is (on top of a rock surrounded by these things) and I manage to singlehandedly take out a full fuling village and then drain a tarpit all whilst fighting yagluth?

[halcyon talon]

is the battleaxes alt attack the poke is that also slashing damage?

[jade olive]

Take out the village first ozze bombs will help to get them down it will take a few just dont thorw a ton just one let it do the work and then another when it wares off. On the tar pit just put a bench and enclose it it they wont spawn there again. You can then take him back to the alter if you wish to use the fingers as cover to help.

[thick canopy]

alr thanks

[undone monolith]

Lead the fulings to the tar pit and they will kill each other 👍

[thick canopy]

ok thank you

[onyx path]

does anyone know how mods interact with xbox console players? i wanted to get the "plant anything" mod whilst i am hosting a world (not dedicated) and wanted to know if my console friends would be able to still join if i did so and if they would be able to interact with the mod?

[ocean shoal]

That one they wont be able to do, here is a list that might be up to date about what kinds of things the server can be modded for which can still affect console players experience https://github.com/Valheim-Modding/Wiki/wiki/Xbox-Compatible-Mods

[onyx path]

wait so will we still be able to do it? i ask because it is getting REALLY annoying to have to go out miles to get berries, and the person who is on console doesn't do farming, i do

i mean if they join the game wont break and we will be able to use it and they wont right?

[ocean shoal]

i think they wont see your planted berry bushes etc but you could do it yourself

[onyx path]

ahh ok

thank you for the help

[ocean shoal]

otherwise plant anything would show on the list im pretty sure its quite popular

[drowsy crane]

Why not set up portals to marked berry bush patches that connect in a chain and just have the final berry patch portal send you back home.

[onyx path]

yeah we might have to do that, its just annoying when the berry bush breaks

devs should really just make them regenerate

i think the wisps do

[drowsy crane]

Fence in the bush patch areas.

[onyx path]

its more us tbh. early on we broke them alot so we need to travel to far out areas. still we can definitely do that and it will make it easier

[gleaming sun]

is there any cheaper and faster way to protect my base instead of walls or moats

[drowsy crane]

Turn off raids

Building walls is already fast and cheap

[gleaming sun]

no

[gleaming sun]

the only problem is i have to get like tons of wood to surround me base

[drowsy crane]

Wood is super quick to harvest, just make a cart and haul it home. I've never had a problem getting mass wood for giant bases.

[gleaming sun]

well yes but i have a life

actually nvm im just gonna turn up the loot multiplier

[drowsy crane]

I said it was super quick to harvest, not stop having a life.

[gleaming sun]

yea it prolly will be once i progress just a tiny tap more

[tawdry zodiac]

Anywhere I could find desired world-seeds with bigger central islands?

[frosty frost]

There might be some in #1202740443352137838 🙂 or you could just go to the world generator site and roll through few random ones

[tawdry zodiac]

Thank you very muchly 🙏

[frosty frost]

If you want to, look at "ffQ8J4ylxD" it has quite expansive starter island 🙂

[tawdry zodiac]

This might be the one! It has everything I was hoping for! When the game ends up updating to Deep North, would this seed still work? Or would it be stuck in Ashlands/Call To Arms?

[frosty frost]

Do you mean if you can still play on the same world if you make it now and DN comes? Or if the generation of a new world with the same seed will stay the same when DN comes?

[tawdry zodiac]

The latter

I should've clarified, sorry about that

[jade olive]

Look into makeing a graydwarf farm and make enough stuff to do there. But it will build up enough stone and wood over time. Makes it simple to afk and do other things as they build up.

[frosty frost]

The latter i am not sure, it could stay almost unchanged, but it is very likely that all the POIs will get shifted around as new deep north POIs get added.

[tawdry zodiac]

Oh that's fine I didn't check around for the POIs anyways, thanks for letting me know 🙂

[frosty frost]

No problem at all 😄
-# Lets hope at least the world gen stays the same xD

[tawdry zodiac]

Hopefully so 😭 I just want Lox and wolves in my harbour home without the threat of Deathsquitoes

[pearl shuttle]

Is there a way to catch hares efficiently. As Im running around carelessly running out of energy and not being able to kill with sword or even my bow

[frosty frost]

How far are you in mistlands progression?

[pearl shuttle]

Im killing Yagluth later today

Ive been in there a bit I've built the gladr table to rank 3 and the black forge is rank 3

[frosty frost]

Ah, then i would say that bow and bombs are your best bet, or fenris set and knives

Once you get to magic then fireballs will work very well for them too

[pearl shuttle]

Oooh thank you

[frosty frost]

I personally would recommend ooze bombs for now 🙂

[pearl shuttle]

Are there other bombs?

Is the flasks from the witch a bomb?

[frosty frost]

Yep, bile bombs, those you get from gjalls

The vials are also technically type of bomb, but not really that suiltable for hare hunting i would say 😄

[pearl shuttle]

Ive only survived 2 gjalls but made it out alive thankfully

Thank you! Very much

Can I ask also. What best to start with when making the staffs?

[frosty frost]

I would say Staff of Embers and Staff of Protection. If you can make them both at once

[pearl shuttle]

Thank you again!

I may be jumping the gun but do you get more upgrades for workable in mistlands or is that the ashlands

All workable workbenches I mean

[frosty frost]

You can get both mistlands workstations to lvl3 in mistalnds 🙂

[pearl shuttle]

Great thats 👌 thanks again

[frosty frost]

👍

[jolly tapir]

I use the frost and protection staff....I can't stand the fact that the embers staff doesn't really aim 😭

[frosty frost]

Who needs aim when you can just erase general direction

[pearl shuttle]

What are some good trinkets for mistlands. Ive honestly just used the bronze pendant for ages and want to change. Can you recommend some for me

Or in general

[frosty frost]

Honestly, the early ones are great, bronze pendant or iron brooch are very useful through the whole game 😄
If you are gonna play as mage then Pulsating Earrings (mistlands trinket) will be quite good.

[pearl shuttle]

Thanks! So I was doing ok then I honestly wasn't sure amd there's so many to pick fom. Thank you again

[jolly tapir]

Crystal Heart is another good one for battle purposes and Nimble Anklet is good for stam

[frosty frost]

Yep, tho if playing as a mage crystal heart is not really needed 😄

[tired root]

Iron brooch is very nice when battling fuling villages with battleaxe.

Some extra armor and hp gain is pretty good.

[sharp nova]

given what i've posted in #building-screenshots

how much corewood would i probably need to outfit my whole base's perimeter with spikes?

[smoky fulcrum]

Paws of the Bear: hitbox range 2
Splitnir: hitbox range 1.9

???

[drowsy crane]

What's confusing about that

[smoky fulcrum]

Why does bearclaws have more range than a long spear?

Can I send you a video showing the issue

[drowsy crane]

It doesn't, you can't throw the bear claws

[true steeple]

you could share in #memes-and-clips

[smoky fulcrum]

#memes-and-clips message

See what I mean?

[drowsy crane]

Yep, the range on melee is slightly lower, but also it seems more prominent because the bear claws have the player step inward with the strike.

[true steeple]

how does it look if you stand in the same spot with a flint spear? that's most likely what the spear primary hitbox is based on

splitnir is longer but shares the same primary attack with all spears

[marble roost]

People think it is a meme but fins of destiny are genuinely really good in mistlands

[smoky fulcrum]

I think they should adjust the hitboxes to match the models

[pearl shuttle]

Is that for swimming?

Can you explain why? Most of the time im just jumping from rock to rock

I use the fenris set with feather cape and the potion of light foot and the ratotask

[spring gulch]

If u dont have the feather cape u can avoid mobs and travel in water

[drowsy crane]

It looks perfectly good to me, you wouldn't necessarily do anything by hitting someone with 1cm of a spear tip.

[pearl shuttle]

What about the flying mobs though?

[spring gulch]

Yeah i havent done it myself but i did have the idea to do it and the idea would be to carefully travel where it would work out if there was land

[pearl shuttle]

I wish the ocean biome had more.

They really missed out on that

[drowsy crane]

The game isn't finished

[smoky fulcrum]

You can clearly see more than half of the spearhead phasing through the wood?

[pearl shuttle]

True but it hasnt had any updates towards it?

[marble roost]

Yeah it's good for swimming from one area of mistlands to another, there's always so much water everywhere

It's also good if you get surrounded / in a bad situation. Hop in the ocean and you can swim faster than any mobs can keep up with you (Except maybe Gjall? Only tried to swim away from one once, and did end up getting shot, but it did basically zero damage because the water fully nullifies the fire part of their damage)

And it is by FAR the easiest trinket to trigger, and lasts a whopping 2 minutes

I'd swap to an iron brooch when going into a dungeon tho

[drowsy crane]

That doesn't indicate nothing will come though

[smoky fulcrum]

And the bear claws are nowhere near hitting it lol

[pearl shuttle]

I hope they do as there's tonnes of resources we could use

[spring gulch]

More ocean would be cool in theory but could get aggravating if dying more on the ocean happened for earlier parts of the game XD i wouldnt mind at all

Whales seals or even a kraken. Salt and seaweed are just some of things that came to mind

[drowsy crane]

That's likely just in combination with the wall's hitbox, which is a flat plane iirc.

[icy brook]

Nothing indicates ocean will get an update though

[drowsy crane]

It was on the roadmap some time ago

[icy brook]

If 1.0 updates the ocean it'd be cool but I don't think it's the most likely thing

[pearl shuttle]

Theres a road map?

[icy brook]

It's scrapped now

[pearl shuttle]

Oof

[drowsy crane]

There was an old roadmap, things have since changed, but it indicates the developers do agree there's more to be done there.

[pearl shuttle]

How frequently do they do updates

[drowsy crane]

5-6 months on average, if we're including any content updates.

[icy brook]

Oh I can't post the roadmap here

[pearl shuttle]

I would have thought they'd improve them with how well valheim did

Its not like theyre stuck for cash.

[icy brook]

I posted it in #memes-and-clips

[drowsy crane]

Improve them how?

[pearl shuttle]

More frequently

[icy brook]

It's crazy how much they had planned for just 2021

[drowsy crane]

That's incredibly frequent to be honest.

[pearl shuttle]

Back when it started there was so much

[icy brook]

Makes sense they couldn't make so many updates so quickly though

From there we got hearth and home and cult of the wolf and mistlands

So the sea update is all we haven't gotten. It could still happen but I'm not betting on it

[pearl shuttle]

I'm returning from like a 2 year hiatus

[drowsy crane]

When it started Valheim had a lot of sourced/purchased models and less original content, not to mention less workflow surrounding bug fixing.

[pearl shuttle]

Sorry I didnt mean it so negatively Im glad its still a great game and I love it. Just a but annoyed the updates aren't as common

[pearl shuttle]

Thanks

[icy brook]

I think they come out at a good pace ngl

The update schedule definitely keeps people coming back.

[drowsy crane]

I get it not to worry, I just am offering some reasons to understand that things aren't exactly easy to push out with a product this important to them.

[pearl shuttle]

I cant play modded servers as im a filthy console user

[icy brook]

And they're very high quality updates.

[drowsy crane]

We all like Valheim and that's great ultimately.

[pearl shuttle]

I haven't even reached the ashlands yet

Just entering the mists today

[drowsy crane]

👀 It's so heavy metal. 🤘

[sharp nova]

(evil grinch face) i don't like valheim 👺

[drowsy crane]

Shh, you're getting more and more into it each day.

[pearl shuttle]

I'm nagging one of my best friends to come play it with me

She won't

[sharp nova]

one of my irl friends really wanted me to buy and play diablo

[drowsy crane]

Getting friends to go on a 100+ hour adventure can be a task in itself.

[sharp nova]

as someone that loves demons and satan i was never that interested 👼

[drowsy crane]

Diablo is really fun to be fair.

[sharp nova]

he keeps being like "using the power of demons to fight satan is good" and "i play diablo on easter" and it's just 🤢 🤮

[pearl shuttle]

Diablo 4 took ages to get good

[sharp nova]

valheim was fun immediately 😇

[pearl shuttle]

10000%

[sharp nova]

being genuine this time

it's gonna be a lot less fun in ashlands here we go 🏃‍♂️‍➡️
