[analog valve]

I literally use them to protect my builds and I haven't heard a good reason not to do that.

[drowsy crane]

I'm not giving you any reasons to not protect your builds, just reasons to do it where enemies might function properly.

[somber mantle]

first getting a Plains farm set up as soon as you hit the plains is a PIA to fortify against Fuling patrols if you dont utilize terrain walls

[tired root]

All sledges have same AoE.

[drowsy crane]

I've had regular stake walls at my farm on the coastline for about 4 years, I havn't seen a single piece of a wall take damage once.

👀

[somber mantle]

stake walls you have to repair

[drowsy crane]

I havn't had to a single time.

[somber mantle]

lox taming would be a pain too I suppose But I already made the terrain walls for their pen by then

[analog valve]

It's like you think terrain walls are cheating somehow.

[drowsy crane]

Not cheating, cheesing.

Exploitative to a degree.

[somber mantle]

I mean good for you, friend but terrains walls just efficient

[drowsy crane]

I understand, I just thought I'd raise some points against them.

It's much more engaging to have bases that can take damage in my opinion.

[somber mantle]

and it's not cheesing because you dont miss any mechanics by doing it, unless you call fortification upkeep a mechanic

[analog valve]

Nah, it's for one purpose only. I don't stand on them and shoot. I don't want hours of work wasted.

[drowsy crane]

You absolutely do, base defense objects are there for a reason, not to mention utilizing stronger walls as you progress.

[somber mantle]

it functions as a wall, so any base defenses that damage or slow em down (last I played was the patch with the ballistae) can be used along with the terrain wall with no redundancy

[drowsy crane]

If that's not appealing, that's all well and good, I'm just putting out my reasons.

[tired root]

I've also refrained raising earth walls around my main base for long time now, first because they are cheesing and second because they look ugly.

I do dig moat tho, so upcoming ||drawbridge|| will be neat addition.

[somber mantle]

I refrained from moats because expansion is a hassle

might give it a try this playthrough because terrains walls are indeed ugly

[tired root]

Making big enough area from the start might help with that need to expand ever.

[analog valve]

I'm going to re-ask this question as it got a bit swept away: if I reset the World Keys on a dedicated server, does that set the world back to Meadows level for all players, which from my understanding just means no higher level bad guys in the Meadows at night? Is there any hidden issues if I do that?

[true steeple]

it will affect what traders can sell

[analog valve]

Oh, yep, I didn't think of that. It will reset the purchase options, but higher level things already purchased in the world won't disappear though, right?

[true steeple]

nothing will disappear, you just won’t be able to buy more

[finite goblet]

Your friends might disappear if you play too much valheim

[pseudo niche]

how can I raise bow levels quickly? If that is even possible

[narrow python]

thousands of wood arrows, several bows, trap a stone golem in a pit and shoot it from above, point blank, by just clicking, not holding

[eager mango]

Shoot twigs

[narrow python]

that works too, but I think twigs give less XP per hit

[eager mango]

Nah the target takes much longer

[pseudo niche]

do I just do the same thing as sarin said but at twig?

[narrow python]

yeah. Though I'm not sure if that method will work as reliably, because twigs are smaller and not every arrow might connect. And it might bother you by throwing stones at you

[pseudo niche]

yeah it does 😭

I don't want to get harassed in the mountains either though...

[eager mango]

You just stand really close to the twig and spam left click

[pseudo niche]

won't it hit me with the axe and knock me back?

[eager mango]

Make a wall behind you so that you won't get pushed away like build yourself in a small box

[pseudo niche]

alright thank you guys

it doesn't matter which bows I use right? I read that I could use wood arrows above

[narrow python]

wood arrows because they're cheap to make, any bow will do but the earlier ones are more stamina efficient

[pseudo niche]

which bows do you use personally

[narrow python]

for training, finewood is IMO best, crude bow has accuracy issues.

[unreal dirge]

Hello seasoned vikings. Wanted to ask about a problem bugging me in my personal solo world (steam, local files, vanilla, survival with reduced death penalty). It's a very old world started before H&H update. In recent months, sometimes I hear the "something broke" sound nearby and eventually I notice in the ground materials of some broke piece. It happens VERY FEW times, only a single random object breaks every time, always in zones nearish where I was active. I'm 200% sure there was no stability issues in any of those cases because most of those pieces were placed hundreds of game days before the problems and even some where directly touching ground. Today I just saw it happening with my eyes, a 1m regular wood pole placed directly over the ground broke just in front of me. When I looked around, I also found a forge placed nearby (to provide me construction radius where I was working) suddenly broke too (it had been on that same ground for about 30 game days). The place this all happens is my city, lots of buildings there but spread over a very large area too; so there's LOTS of total instances but the max counted so far in any location is 57k (where the last breaks happened, count is between 35k and 45k). What could be happening? Have somebody faced a similar problem?

[tired root]

Hitting T.W.I.G. grants same xp as hitting enemy mobs, archery target grants less XP but you can retrieve arrows from it unlike other means.

[drifting jacinth]

Hello, noticed that even i got 70ms latency towards a dedicated server as a client, sometimes when other players 'claim' the area (as i understood they do if they were there first) it becomes very laggy, making it very hard to fight properly. Is there any way around this? Looks like game breaking tech.

[unreal dirge]

I saw a lot of online servers use mods whose specific purpose is to improve the network behavior of the game (that's one of its weak points). In pure vanilla, dedicated servers could be rough on lag issues no matter the connection latency

[drifting jacinth]

I will look into it, although I am not the host. Seems like something that should work by now, wonder what is holding it back, must be some tough tech.

[vapid warren]

the problem is the connection between you and the other player

[drifting jacinth]

I looked into what you said and Better Networking seems to be an attempt at improvement although it is impossible to change the way this works due to amount of physics calculation that needs to be done. Looks like we are still long ways to go tech wise until this works smooth. Thanks.

[sharp nova]

what's the latest game food that stacks up to 20?

[tired root]

Maybe ||bread|| with the 20 stack size?
There is also one food item in current end game biome with stack size of 50.

[sharp nova]

thanks

[marble roost]

Can also spawn Bonemass and make a platform above him to shoot at him

Or just level naturally as you progress. High skills aren’t really needed for anything

[pseudo niche]

oh I just really really really really want to lower the amount of time I spend on charging the bow. I keep on exhausting my stamina 😔
Also I think it only took my friend a third/quarter(?) of my time to fully charge their bow? I watched that in jealousy haha

I have to admit I suck at building, how do I make this platform above him in detail?

[marble roost]

Prob guides on yt. I couldn’t really tell you though i detest skill grinding

[pseudo niche]

fair enough

My bows also do quite pathetic damage for the amount of time I spend to fully charge and shoot, compared to my friends who are using either melee weapons or mage stuff. We are currently at ashlands, I'm honestly not sure what else I should improve on, as a noob as I am

[marble roost]

Bows just aren’t realllyyyy made for Ashlands. Enemies there are resistant to pierce

But if you do want to use them, use frost arrows prob

But if you do get high bow skill they’ll still be good. Bows are pretty broken, and theyre the only weapon that hextupples their dps at high skill level

Other weapons only get a bit over double damage

[pseudo niche]

whaaaaaa

do people make use of adrenaline? If so how should I raise it best?
I couldn't get it up most of the time to activate trinkets 🥲

[marble roost]

In a lot of biomes it’s tough to activate trinkets, but Ashlands is better because of mob density. Parrying and using fast attack speed weapons is good for building adrenaline

Or weapons good at staggering like battleaxe or atgeir (though it’s a bit hard to stagger Ashlands enemies)

Or a barrage of ice shards I imagine is good too for adrenaline generation.

Most importantly tjough just don’t grab a trinket that takes 100 adrenaline to trigger. Something like 60 adrenaline is more manageable.

My favorite trinket is fins of destiny because they have a 10 adrenaline activation cost. But those are mostly good in swamp and mistlands. Kinda useless in Ashlands

[sharp nova]

is it ||cooked bonemaw meat||?

[barren rivet]

you have to parry and dodge or fight more actively somehow. the game was changed so parry costs zero stamina instead of tons of stamina and dodge is greatly reduced, so normal gameplay now is supposed to include a lot of parrying and dodging

[pseudo niche]

I do spam dodges but that also means I run out of stam pretty fast haha. I should take notice of my stamina bar more frequently, not just when I couldn't do anything due to lack of it

Parrying.. uh is that the effect that staggers mobs when I block them just in time? I can't do it really well

It's a pity I couldn't really make use of adrenaline if I solely rely on bows then

[barren rivet]

if you’re actually dodging you should get stamina back, if you dont see the yellow sparkles you didnt need to dodge

[true steeple]

you still lose more than you gain and it interrupts regen unlike parrying

[barren rivet]

yeah parrying is the PINNGGGGG sound that staggers mobs. if you’re solely relying on bows i cant help you they sound like a nightmare for adrenaline i dont use them

[pseudo niche]

rip

[barren rivet]

i would practice parrying things, just go out to a handful of greydwarves or something, its the most op thing in the game

[marble roost]

I recommend trying out melee. I sucked at parrying initially but learned over timr, and it feels much more engaging than bows imo

Not necessarily stronger, but more fun

[pseudo niche]

yellow sparkles?

[marble roost]

Practicing in Ashlands may not be the best environment tho

[barren rivet]

i think yellow? maybe white? when you dodge and actually dodge something that would have hit you it does a particle effect

[pseudo niche]

I probably can't see it in the mess of combat lol

[barren rivet]

dodge meaning utilize the invulnerability frames of the roll, not just reposition yourself

[pseudo niche]

huh

[barren rivet]

you’re invulnerable from when you start rolling til about when youre upside down

[pseudo niche]

I thought I had to dodge to get out of the way, I didn't know it comes with iframes

[barren rivet]

you can roll directly into a troll who is down smashing his fists and take zero damage

[pseudo niche]

damn

[barren rivet]

it sounds like youd highly benefit from just messing around with a few greydwarves for a bit. practice parrying them, dodge roll, look for the roll sparkles that say you i-framed damage

before you fall into just using a bow because you cant dodge or parry, cuz the game only gets harder, and imo you miss out on the game if you just use bows

[sharp nova]

Twig has good variation in his attacks i really like practicing parrying with him

[barren rivet]

i guess you could do that too

[sharp nova]

keeps you on your toes while being completely safe

[barren rivet]

pretty safe fighting 3 non star greydwarves too

and working on timings of an actual mob in the game youre gonna be parrying

[sharp nova]

@barren rivet would you ever recommend parrying with bear paws, since their parry bonus is much higher than their block armor, meaning it's hard to block and not parry?

[marble roost]

Parrying with bear claws is good

[barren rivet]

well yeah of course theyre made to parry

theyre my safe defensive weapon before i get bronze buckler

[full mesa]

buff 2handed sword block force when 🫠

[barren rivet]

you mean block armor?

[full mesa]

if that is the one yes

giant metal stick 🥺

but it shouldn't be on par with shield, that'd be too good

[barren rivet]

what is it that you cant parry? evasion mantle would help, and yeah cant make it as good as 1 handed

id rather make their block armor worse and give them more damage

[full mesa]

Since I run heavy+magic, anything in the ashlands that is 1star is deadly

FFE diet

[barren rivet]

well you shouldnt expect to parry things then lol

its based on max hp block armor isnt your problem if you have 1 hp food worth of hp

you choose the non-parrying playstyle

[full mesa]

I still parry to get bonus dmg and kill them as soon as possible, but the moment a 1star joins the party parrying is a struggle since they now join the mass that im trying to kill 😭

I should try running HHS next time 🤔

HHS diet is probably my least used diet in game

[barren rivet]

or evasion mantle basically turns 1 star into no star

[full mesa]

Even for queen fight I opt to run HSE

because fire staff and bubble shield good

[barren rivet]

idk, but its all about your food and gear choices. of you kind of use hp food you can kind of parry

imean if you use bubble who cares just parry with a bubble

[full mesa]

can a maxed out ashland user parry 2stars with HHS

no carapace buckler, that thing is busted for parrying

[full mesa]

free damage sponge

[barren rivet]

I doubt it, but check the sheet

[full mesa]

sevrahn whispers again

the list must be checked

[barren rivet]

again, if you were using bubble, who cares just parry with bubble

[full mesa]

yep

alrighty thanks

[sharp nova]

while looking for 2 star boars it's adviseable to kill all the other boars not just for the meat and scrap you need but also for the boars to respawn differently so you can do it again
right?

[vapid warren]

sure, where are you looking for 2 star boars btw?

[sharp nova]

the meadows around my meadow base (or kind of literally anywhere)

[vapid warren]

starred boar appears once at runestones

[sharp nova]

oh.

[vapid warren]

and can also spawn 800 meters from center of map

they dont respawn near the center

[sharp nova]

can i see my distance from spawn in meters with f2

[vapid warren]

not sure

but the edge of the map is 10.5 km away from center

so about 10% away from center

[marble roost]

On HHH I parry 0 stars on vhard with like 60% of my stagger bar filling using carapace

I imagine HHS should be fine too, though I guess it depends what you’re parrying with. “Not carapace buckler” isnt very specific

[clever lagoon]

Is anyone able to drop me a stone golem trophy n a cultist trophy I need one of each n I'm struggling to get either BC they r apparently difficult to get

[vapid warren]

why not just spawn them in then?

[clever lagoon]

Don't know how

[sharp nova]

if your friends can't do that for you get better friends

[clever lagoon]

What's friends?

[sharp nova]

named martyr and doesn't know what friends are...

[clever lagoon]

What's that supposed to mean

[sharp nova]

if you're doing it right a martyr makes many friends

the only good reason to be a martyr is to make a point

[clever lagoon]

Martyr is sumone killed for their belief

[vapid warren]

this is off topic anyway

[sharp nova]

sorry

[clever lagoon]

Sorry

Is anyone able to help?

[vapid warren]

here for how to enable console

[sharp nova]

wrong chat hold on

[clever lagoon]

It doesn't work

[tired root]

You can enable them from settings nowadays.

There should be enable console option.

[pseudo niche]

hey uhm, can non-hosts get stuff from commands with creative enabled? I am not too familiar with the system yet

[vapid warren]

the host can give items

[elder cypress]

how good is the root harnesk in the plains, ive heard a lot of good things about it but is it really that good

[marble roost]

Yes it’s that good

It essentially makes the most common/annoying enemies harmless in plains and mistlands, and kind of also in Ashlands

In plains it makes deathsqutoes and spear throwers harmless

[elder cypress]

what mobs does it defend against

tysm

[marble roost]

Only thing is it does make you vulnerable to shame. And torch fulings.

So have some fire resist on hand

[elder cypress]

should i take it off during yagluth

holy shit me and my friend just tested, he had the root harnesk on 7 damage, i had no root harnesk 48 damage

[pseudo niche]

my host will have to be afk for a bit, and leave the server on
We are trying to spawn seeker soldier trophies I suppose, I wonder if you have any suggestions for that? Maybe we could something else other than farming that mob

[vapid warren]

log onto a world of your own and spawn them in with the character and then log back in?

[pseudo niche]

lol yeah I should have thought of that thanks

[marble roost]

Mmm very nice

And it only gets stronger if you up the difficulty or face a starred mob (not that deathsquitoes can have stars)

[elder cypress]

should we take it off during yagluth?

[sharp nova]

@raven grove #memes-and-clips message did you build this yourself?

[spring gulch]

You can it is basically mosquito-proofing you. You could also use a mead for that as well. Could use it for yag just dont forget to chug when time hits 0

[marble roost]

Just drink fire resist for yag. Fire resist fully nullifies the weakness AND gives you resistance on top of that

[trim python]

What weapon is best at killing bear in black forest stage

[clever juniper]

bronze sword/ abyssal razor/ fire

[barren rivet]

early axes, you can only parry their swipe but you can do half their hp in one parry

[trim python]

appreciate it man

[marble roost]

Seems like you're getting different answers, but as Yacko said early axes is very nice if you are able to find the parts for them in meadows

Once you get black forest stuff though, a bronze sword is pretty nicce, or once you beat a bear you can make nice weapons out of their drops

[trim python]

Alright appreciate it ill try an see

[tired root]

In short: generally any weapon with slash damage. Swords have strong secondary attack.

[clever lagoon]

any tips for killing queen?

[marble roost]

psssst: You can build certain things while inside dungeons

[clever lagoon]

like what?

[tired root]

If melee:

• Weapon 1: ||Mistwalker/Krom are strongly suited against her, if Mistwalker pair it with Carapace shield/buckler||,
• Weapon 2: ||AoE option against her adds (Demolisher/Himminafl/Bilebombs)||,
• Armor: ||full Carapace or Carapace/Root Harnesk combo||,
• Meads: ||major HP, Ratatosk, lingering stamina, poison resistance||,
• Tactics: ||you can time sword secondary attack between her attacks, dodging or parrying works well but her attacks have huge knockback, which can be negated by standing between her and wall||, also ||you can fight on top of the arena and fall out with feather cape to have breather if things go down South||.
  If magic:
• ||use all staves except Dead Raiser which can be meaningless, Ember staff works well as both damaging Queen and her adds, keep your distance and use shield bubble, eitr mead also helps||.

[marble roost]

Benches, torches, stuff like that

One of the things you can build is very useful

[sharp nova]

bear paws and bronze sword and early axes work great, any other axe or a knife will also work well

[sharp nova]

❔

[gentle orchid]

hello there is a way to cheat in the game ? like in creative mode or smth like that

or to give u shit and stuff idk with infinite stamina

[full mesa]

use console commands, it takes a bit of fiddling to get used to it

[marble roost]

^

Look up how to use console/devcommands

Can spawn stuff in and change rules like stamina drain

[iron wolf]

Greetings Survivors!
I made the Food Prep Table, then the fish Press next to it, put a couple fish in, was expecting fish oil, but nothing happens, the fish just sit in the press.
What did I miss to get it to work right?
Thank you!

[next ivy]

That sounds like a mod... a question for #mods-discussion

[iron wolf]

oh, okay, ty

[vernal reef]

im on my first but tehcnically second playthrough, is 4 crpyts good enough to setup a swamp base?

[hushed sigil]

I technically look for ones that have ten or more, otherwise I would just make a portal on top of a crypt and a few odds and ends there and look for better if only 4. Portal there and then cart home or sail back after building one or the other.
Finding the bog witch for example is a good reason for a swamp base.

[pseudo niche]

Today I learn that by default some stuff aren't allowed to pass through portals, like metal stuff...
For my first playthrough my friend made it so that we can bring resources home through wood portals so I didn't know, but jesus, do players just bring a cart with them all the time?

[soft notch]

Cart, boat or both

[nova glade]

If youre sooo far out. Id just build a mini base. Bring over surtling cores through a portal and build a furnace. find some copper make a forge rq and then build the item you want. If the metal is for a base add on than yeah....you gotta travel back to your main base to place it.

[drowsy crane]

Have you made a boat yet?

[kind quiver]

first time playing the game, wondering if the mist in the mistlands disappear after killing the boss of the biome? The biome looks pretty nice just to bad with all the mist (some patches have no mist 🤷🏻‍♂️ )

[sinful moth]

no that won't happen, killing the boss doesn't change anything visually there

[kind quiver]

Aight

[quick tide]

Lore-wise the boss isnt related to the mist itself at all, they just choose mist because is a good place to hide. Since most bugs preffer dark places

[young osprey]

Hey folks, does PC-PS crossplay work? thx

[tired root]

Once PS5 version is added the crossplay will work between it and other platforms.

[lusty trout]

Hey, is there anything other than rested that boosts exp gain for skills? Thanks.

[tired root]

Only rested buff, nothing else.

[lusty trout]

okie dokie, a tree fell on me and I died. It's so much effort to try level up multiple skills, like cooking for example when a tree is gonna lower it again 😅

[vapid warren]

rite of passage

[tired root]

You can change death penalty settings from world modifiers, second easiest setting has 1% skill loss penalty. 👍

[narrow python]

Welcome to Valheim, viking.

[vapid warren]

it doesnt remove it, just reduce it

[narrow python]

first lesson. Have some kind of food on all the time, even if it's just leftovers when you're doing housework

[vapid warren]

yeah that

[lusty trout]

oh yeah, it's not the first time, won't be the last time either. I just didn't see the half tree stuck up in another.

[lusty trout]

I had eaten some, just not enough to survive the tree at terminal velocity 🙁

[young osprey]

Thx, so no dates as of now, correct? 🫰

[tired root]

Correct. No exact dates other than during 2026.

[pseudo niche]

wait that can happen? 😭

[tired root]

Tree falling on you and you dying to it? Yes.

[pseudo niche]

please tell me someone has beaten a boss by felling trees 😭
there is no way right?

[sharp nova]

i think if the monster is big enough they don't get damaged by trees

[true steeple]

they can damage anything

but against heavier enemies they need to be moving faster so it will be difficult

[spring gulch]

I actually saw eikthyr take a big chunk of damage yesterday from a tree he chopped on himself XD its possible I guess

[pseudo niche]

this is a bit redundant to ask, but it has been 2 years so I'm wondering
Would you still recommend this video? Are there more posts or videos on the performance topic I should also check out?

My laptop is pretty potato, and I am running with everything at the lowest possible and turned off, but at best it is 20-25fps in the wild and 5-10fps at base, with a lot stuttering. I don't want to give up trying yet but it does seem like my fella has no hope.

[vapid warren]

the video was already 3 years old then, it was still beneficial. it's not gonna make it fantastically better, but it might improve it some

[pseudo niche]

alright

[tired root]

There might be newer one too, IIRC.

[pseudo niche]

I have to search for them then
There are graphic options in the game that weren't there in the video, so I guess they were added later

[sharp nova]

is it alright if i burn all my cloudberries on medium stamina potions

[vapid warren]

I mean theyre pretty plentiful

I dont really use stamina potions

Fire resistance tho

[minor silo]

Hi @broken fjord

[sharp nova]

i couple them with eikthyr buff for extended swims and sometimes at night when i'm not rested

[minor silo]

You playing without a map ?

[pseudo niche]

swimming traumatizes me... First deaths and all that
Is it okay to swim long distance then?

[sharp nova]

eikthyr buff reduces swim stamina useage and stamina potion refills your stamina in any circumstance. you can also stay in the water still for two minutes to rest until the stamina potion timer empties

[pseudo niche]

interesting

[sharp nova]

i used 2 stamina potions and a health potion the first time a leviathin near shore sunk into the sea to survive

[pseudo niche]

I am gonna keep that in mind

[hollow jackal]

hey guys, i want to build traps, I have a lv5 workbench, created a mechanical spring, have found black metal and bronze nails, but still it doesnt show up in my workbench, how can that be=

[sharp nova]

have you made iron nails yet?

[hollow jackal]

yeah but they are no ingredient

[sharp nova]

as long as you've made iron nails once is what counts in many cases

[lucid hamlet]

Question about playing with mods:
Do I have to uninstall mods before playing in a world hosted by a person with no mods? Primarily talking about not-client-side mods.

[sharp nova]

try #mods-discussion

[hollow jackal]

yeah still doenst show up ±)

[lucid hamlet]

oh my, it's all the way down, thanks

[livid mortar]

Not entirely sure on this, but it might need something other than a regular workbench, like a black forge.

[spring gulch]

Bc its in ur hammer

[barren rivet]

build them like you build campfires in your misc tab

[narrow turtle]

is there an option to turn interface off completely for sc

i remember i did that , but forgot how exactly

[vapid warren]

ctrl f3

[hollow jackal]

Oh wow lol

Thanks never wouldve looked there lol

[static plaza]

Hello Vikings, I finished the ashlands, killed the final boss and just finished the mini bosses for Hildir’s quest, is there something else to do, or just preparations for the deep north ?

[vapid warren]

now you can finally play the game

restart with a challenge, build, prep for deep north, explore, etc

[static plaza]

I’m eager to start using magic, maybe level up my skills

[tired root]

Did you find mysterious locations?

[static plaza]

No what is that ?

[vapid warren]

oh

yeah

go in morgen caves and look for vegvisirs

[static plaza]

Oh I stopped going into those caves when I thought they only provide portals mats and bones, good thing I marked them on the map, thanks for the hint

[vapid warren]

they also give soft tissue if you need that

[static plaza]

Yeah and that I have a lot of tissues I guess I need to expand my sap farm

[tired root]

Some putrid holes might have special vegvisir for the first location, which will point to the next and the next to the last.

[static plaza]

You made my day guys a new thing to do in valheim, I was a little sad when I killed the last boss

[hollow jackal]

do traps also work when you are not around= Or because nothing is rendered in, its useless if youre out of range=

[tired root]

What I also did in my most played world is that I built outpost bases in each biome, collected all the trophies, crafted all armor sets and weapons and made all food items and put them on display per their biomes.

[barren rivet]

what would the traps be trapping if nothing is rendered in?

[hollow jackal]

well i had hoped for rabbits lol. But what is the point if you have to be close= CAn just as well use a bow then=

[barren rivet]

if you want passive rabbit gathering wood spikes are way more cost effective. still have to be close enough for things rendered in but they love running into spikes

[vapid warren]

do what i do and equip fenris gear, 3 stamina foods and run around mistlands with a sword

[hollow jackal]

Is the ashlands doable without magic? Because there are a ton of staffs, and i dont want to bother learning all of it lol

[true steeple]

you never need to use magic at any point, like all weapon types it's optional but more effective for certain fights

[drowsy crane]

Ashlands is beatable with any weapon.

[pseudo niche]

bows too? 🥹

[drowsy crane]

Bows, one of the best weapons? You bet.

[pseudo niche]

fr? 😭
What have I been doing wrong

Anyway uh
when it is described in the game that something is "resistant" or "weak" (or "very weak"? I remember seeing that somewhere) against something, is there an exact modifier, uh numbers, to go with such adjectives?

[jolly tapir]

Yep that's how I do it lol

[true steeple]

resistant and weak are 50%, slightly resistant and slightly weak are 25%, very resistant is 75% and very weak is 100%

[pseudo niche]

ah thanks

okay I see why you guys like root harnesk now

[true steeple]

they're applied before armor so in most cases the harnesk will make you take less than half of the damage you would take otherwise

[pseudo niche]

wait the root set bonus adds another pierce resist?
So how does it stack?

[true steeple]

the strongest resistance is used. this means resistances can override weakness too

[pseudo niche]

that sounds like something that might be gone in a future update haha

[true steeple]

I'd like to see it get bonus armor against pierce instead of % reduction so it loses value in progression like other armor pieces

[pseudo niche]

so the pierce resist from set bonus does nothing because the harnesk already provides it?

[true steeple]

the set bonus doesn't have pierce resist

[pseudo niche]

weird, I guess someone needs to correct the wiki then
I am not in the game so I can't tell sadly

[true steeple]

the full set row is showing the effects of all pieces worn together
if you look at the page for the set bonus ('improved archery') you'll see it only increases bow skill

[pseudo niche]

ah my bad then

[drowsy crane]

From what I can see, the wiki describes this accurately.

[pseudo niche]

yeah I read it wrong

once hildir appears somewhere she's there forever and won't appear anywhere else, right?

Same as other traders. 10 possible spawn locations and first activated will spawn the trader and disable other locations for good.

how do i unlock hildir's quests?

and um. farming equipment'

Check the map table in front of her.

[lean island]

Do you only have your primary and secondary attack in valheim or do you get abilities like in other rpg games your sword could have many abilities when that’s equipped like in mmorpgs or is valheim just basic skills generally?

[thorn spire]

Most weapons have a primary and secondary attack capability, as well as a combination pattern. Depending on the class or weapon itself, you have different specialization effects. It's generally that simple.

Valheim doesn't have any capability to train different attacks or special skills in your weaponry.

I.e. your 1h sword will always just swing (primary) or thrust (secondary). The damage type(s) can be different for specific weapons, like Mistwalker, but it still does the same attack animation.

[lean island]

Ok perfect i just wanted to be sure, thank you 🙂

[dapper yoke]

is there any way to stop buildings from being damaged from rain besides roofs... I honestly hate that mechanic

[winged needle]

Has anyone experienced any changes in spawn suppression very recently? I've noticed deer, boar and greydwarves spawning in my settlement, even just a few meters away from a campfire, in the last week or so? Previously no problems at all with spawn suppression. 🔥

[hushed sigil]

You’ll need to mod it to achieve this #mods-discussion

[hushed sigil]

In order to try help you, you’ll need to provide details like a vanilla world, multiplayer or solo, on a server or just locally etc? Are you using mods?

[frosty frost]

Once you get to ashlands, yes

[winged needle]

Ah, yes, of course. It's a single player, unmodded, pre-bogwitch-generated world on the most recent patch. Up until recently, a large area around my base was spawn-free.
I realized I swapped a few workbenches for campfires in the same spots, so I wonder if that's causing the problem somehow. They should have identical spawn-prohibition areas though.

[frosty frost]

Shouldnt change much unless the workbenches had upgrades near them previously 🤔

[pseudo niche]

what does ashlands provide? 👀

[frosty frost]

The ||shield generator|| 😄

[pseudo niche]

oh yee

[winged needle]

Agreed, which they do not. I can't figure out why it would be happening.

[frosty frost]

Only other thing i can think of is you having the original workbenches placed really precisely to they juuuust covered everything and the campfires that replaced them are just slightly differently placed. Thus uncovering some spots where enemies can now spawn 🤔

[winged needle]

I tried to avoid the possibility of that by building in some overlap to my spawn-inhibit circles. 🤷 The only thing I could think of was that somehow the behavior of campfires was changed subtly? Like if they're extinguished, or entirely covered by stone blocks or something.

[lusty trout]

Hey, what does the crafting skill effect? I just got an extra bronze bar which was nice. Is the chance technically higher if I make bars individually instead of x5 at a time? Thanks.

[tired root]

Crafting speed and chances for extra yields.

[lusty trout]

for every single craftable item? in which case, it's better to just make x1 at a time to boost chance?

[tired root]

Only for items like arrows, nails, bronze bars, etc. Not for weapons, armor pieces or other equipment.

But for bronze it's better to use 1x recipe for more possible extras.

[true steeple]

anything stackable can get a bonus

[thorn spire]

Holding the shift key will allow you to make 5 of the same item. You can get more extras this way.

[fresh rapids]

Are two health-based foods and one stamina-based food the best combo for bosses or the other way around?

[halcyon moss]

i just find it funny honestly

[lusty trout]

https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202320491377856512/1500840452390387722 This conflicts with what you say. I am unsure which is true.

[tired root]

Depends, some prefer HHS and others HSS, depending on their playstyles.

[pseudo niche]

which playstyles go with which food combos, like typically speaking?

[true steeple]

if you want to parry things you need a lot of health, especially in later biomes

[thorn spire]

So bronze is a special case because there is a recipe for making 5x bronze. If you use that recipe, the crafting skill gives you a chance to get +1-+5 extra bronze. If you use the bronze x1 recipe and hold shift, you still get 5 bronze as a minimum, but the crafting skill allows a chance to get +1/3/6/10/15 extra instead. Also, since you're crafting 5 times, you get 5x the skill increase this way.

[sharp nova]

what are the meaningful differences between ||black forest buffet platter|| and ||swamp dweller's delight|| besides the ingredients?

[tough grotto]

what happens to loot in your boat if it gets destroyed

[sharp nova]

turns into floating wooden crates

[tough grotto]

does that only apply to certain items?

i had a bunch of black iron in my boat and it completely vanished

[vapid warren]

It was in the storage, not just in your boat, right?

[tough grotto]

yes

[vapid warren]

Its possible the boxes were destroyed too, but i dont think they get targeted

[vapid warren]

Nothing, but you can eat both(and meadows one) at the same time

[sharp nova]

wolf jerky is... much cheaper

[tired root]

Iirc Swamp feast has 1 hp/tick more than meadows and black forest feasts.
While at swamp era if I find Bog Witch early I like to eat portion of each feast for total of 130 HP and 155 stamina. They also save item slots from food items.

[sharp nova]

oh.

[vapid warren]

Accordkng to wiki meadows has 2hp tick while bf and swamp both have 3

[tired root]

So I recalled correct.

[vapid warren]

Feasts also lasts almost twice as long

[tired root]

All feasts have duration of 50 minutes.

[sharp nova]

no read it again

sorry for being rude

[tired root]

What do I need to read again? 👀

[sharp nova]

swamp and black forest feasts have 1 more hp / tick than meadows, rather rhan what you said here

[tired root]

Ah.

So I recalled almost correctly.

[sharp nova]

the um.
the mistake was... relevant...

[sharp nova]

given i asked this

oh also

@tired root in case of any mistake: swamp dweller's delight is not kept behind bonemass. that's just mountain logger's

someone was wrong about this iirc...

[tired root]

Mountain logger stew is behind Moder.

Bonemass doesn't unlock new feasts.

[sharp nova]

ok.

sorry for my mistakes

[tired root]

No worries.

We are all human (non-clankers).

[sharp nova]

triple feast before moder?

[finite goblet]

DEATH TO CLANKERS

[sharp nova]

seems like you support a diet of three meals at once in 50 minute intervals?

[finite goblet]

nothing better than coming out of elder and running 3 feasts. feasts are the goat of early game

[tired root]

For exploration/material gathering it works well. But for combat I like using HSF diet.

[sharp nova]

what's materially different about HSF?

[tired root]

I like the balance they bring. Especially with the best options in later biomes will bring significant difference vs all feasts.

[elfin storm]

On Xbox how would I be able to access cheats I know how to pull up the menu but I don’t understand how to input the commands

[frosty frost]

Type devcommands into the console 🙂 that will enable you to use other commands

[elfin storm]

I found it only works when I put a / infront of the dev command thing but I dont understand why when I try to do like Godmode or fly and spawn ext it don’t work I’ve tryed with the / and without the slash

[frosty frost]

They you have opened chat 🙂 not console window

[elfin storm]

I’ve only been able to open the chat window using lb and the 2 squares I can’t open the dev one with like lb,Rb,Lt,Rt ext

I kinda thought that they took it out of the game and the chat window was like the new way to put them in but maybe not

[frosty frost]

Go to settings and on the first page there should be "enable console" option, then try the LB + LT + Start 😄

[elfin storm]

Ohhhhh wait I see

Thank you so much

I found it out

[sharp nova]

but what's better about HSF at swamp/mountains?

FFF gives you 9 hp/tick

HSF only gives you 7

and FFF lasts 50 minutes for each of them

[tired root]

I should have clarified that I generally use HSF at the end of mountains/early plains state.

[sharp nova]

now i'

now i'm even more confused

i thought HSF was better later?

[tired root]

I don't bother too much with the HP/tick stats.

[sharp nova]

what are you eating at the end of mountains?

[tired root]

Wolf skewer/eyescream/seafarer.

[sharp nova]

hmm

ok.

before seafarer HFF has 2 more hp than HHS

HHS if wlfskwr/es/ssg is 166

HFF is 168 if wlfskwr/meadows/bf

[sharp nova]

why do you eat Sailor's Bounty but not Serpent Stew?

[tired root]

Depending how many serpents I gather, I save rest of the meats for later use. Sailor's bounty last for long time.

[sharp nova]

ok.

[tired root]

With that food combo I have 156 hp and 181 stamina against Moder.

[sharp nova]

soo... yeah. wolf skewer/eyescream while a bit lacking on hp/tick is 86 stamina/health together

2 early feasts together is 70

you're playing optimally 😔

[tired root]

Few Hp/tick stat less doesn't matter that much in the end.

I like having more stamina, but not too little HP, so I find HSF generally good and balanced.

[sharp nova]

FFF misses out on 16 stamina/hp yeah

[vapid warren]

Also, its better to eat 2 mistlands foods and a plains feast than plains, mountains and swamp feast

[sharp nova]

until i unlock mountain logger stew hhs is a better idea hff

[sharp nova]

same here just retrograde

better to eat wolf skewer and eyescream than any of the lesser feasts

you probably picked up on that tho

[sharp nova]

FFF generally becomes viable after the biome boss?

[iron talon]

I'm using dathost as a dedicated server

Can I kick a member who forgot to logout?

I'm the admin

[crystal kiln]

feasts are kinda useful if you wanna get eitr on a build which doesnt spec for it

[soft notch]

People in #dedicated-server might have more insight

[frosty frost]

Not after mountains i would say, since then the best biome food will usually outperform earlier feasts

[jolly patrol]

is it possible to have a multi floored garden?

or is it impossible to have multiple levels of dirt like that

[vapid warren]

The ground is just a single layer

Nothing underneath, so not possible

[subtle parrot]

Best you can do is terrace gardens or maybe trying some dirt pillars to reach a second floor for something like that but otherwise, it's as Larsi says

[jolly patrol]

ty

[sharp nova]

so FFF is a good option during swamps after finding the bog witch and late into mountains after defeating moder and... that's it?

[tired root]

Some like also using feasts for longer building sessions.

[sharp nova]

heq

[finite goblet]

Feasts start falling off after bonemass imo

[true steeple]

the serpent feast is good going into mountains

[finite goblet]

Well that one is the exception

Since its harder to get but more powerful than others

[sharp nova]

what about um.
the mountains feast after moder?

[finite goblet]

Id say its decent. Middle of the pack plains food with cheaper cost and double duration

[sharp nova]

and sailor's bounty remains in that position as well into plains?

since it's basically the same thing

[wheat hazel]

Weird...I was having a hard time logging in to my server.

[finite goblet]

Hard to get but yes

[quasi field]

I’m assuming I can’t join a server that has mods if I’m on Xbox right

[vapid warren]

Probably not but moght depend on the mods

[iron talon]

What graphic settings do you guys use for balance good graphics and good fps?

[finite goblet]

any serverside mods that dont require clientside should work (serverside qol for example). anything that is both client and server will not work

[jolly patrol]

is there a fix for the bug where you crouch everytime you exit a menu in game like a container or your inventory? saw people mentioning it online but didn't see a fix

actually I'm pretty sure we were all holding ctrl too long lmao

[trim epoch]

is there anyway to plant a tree on a roof like a large tree

[marble roost]

Only by raising terrain up to the roof. Perhaps you could hide the pillar of terrain by building some wood or stone structure around it and incorporating it as a structural support pillar?

[trim epoch]

yes this could work for the idea that i had i wanted to do something like tree on the top of gondor

[marble roost]

Keep in mind terrain can only be raised 8 meters from it's original level. So if your roof is tall it could be tough to do

[trim epoch]

right i haven't built anything yet im building on top of a mountain so that means i would have to just build the tree closer to the point of the mountain

Any tips for dealing with Yagluth?

I've been fighting the same MF for seven real hours.

Between the infinite mob spawns and my resistances just not seeming to matter, how do I actually hurt this HP sponge?

[frosty frost]

Get either silver sword, Forstner or black metal sword. Get barley wine for fire resist and just go whack at him 😄

[fervent willow]

Fully maxed silver sword and in easy mode.
Half the time he just seems to out heal the damage I did.

He also figured out how to hit me through his pedastal

I feel like I'm fighting prime Mike Tyson rn 😭

[frosty frost]

If thats the case then you are a bit too passive in the fight, try to get to how behind and hit him there. If you do it right then je will be trying to rotate towards you and not actually attack, Its quite common tactic if you don't want to fight him normally And want easier time 😄

[fervent willow]

Did he get buffed?

Last time I fought him (two years ago) I climbed his back and just kept reapplying the frostner until he kinda stopped.

This time I feel like yaggyboy figured out Kaioken

[tired root]

I think Yagluth remains unchanged.

[fervent willow]

Oofta.
Guess I better just grab the frostner again
Hope my old character has it 🙃

[hollow jackal]

Use barley wine and frostner maxed out and itis relatively easy. He doesnt spawn units, so be sure to have cleared all camps and tar pits in the region.

[fervent willow]

Yeah figured out where the fulings keep coming from. There's an entire camp on the other side of a hill from us, once the fight begins they run over.

Rn I'm restocking all my potions and food before trynna get that frostner.

[willow raft]

If you stand right in front of his face the meteors can't really hit you and you can wack through that phase.

Rolling through the beam works as well.

[hollow jackal]

I had that as well lol, together with a tar pits. Both if which i didnt find in my recon. I started the fight and boom here they came lol

[fervent willow]

When it comes to the beam, I've found jumping over it and slow walking away throws his aim off a lot do his own meteors hit him?

[fervent willow]

For me it's the darn skeeters. Genuinely the worst part of the game imho.

Half the time they kill me I didn't even know they were there, just suddenly I'm back in bed, naked, enjoying my sucking chest wound lmao

[lusty trout]

https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977/1501137396014518292

[willow raft]

Last time I tried, his head blocked the meteors. Didn't pay close enough attention if they did any DMG to him though.

[true steeple]

They pass through anything they can't damage (yagluth and enemies)

[willow raft]

Then it just looked like it. It felt like a safe zone.

[tired root]

There are more ways for avoiding them. Root Harnesk reduces their damage significantly due to the pierce resistance, or if you have found Bog Witch she sells ingredient for consumable that prevents them stinging you.
Although, they have very low hp so any hit could easily kill them.

[fervent willow]

Has anybody tried leading one boss fight into another? Is that even a possibility

[true steeple]

they won't fight each other, bosses are friendly to all enemies

this means a fuling shaman can shield any boss

[fervent willow]

Like I needed more reasons to clobber them lmao

I've had them shield mosquitoes before that was fun

[marble roost]

This advice gets floated around a lot, but have you tried using root harnesk? (Swamp root armor chest piece)

[fervent willow]

It's my main armor piece, specifically because of the bugs.
That or just leather pants for the raw speed

[sharp nova]

how does sweet bread compare to the simultaneously available feasts?

[narrow python]

you could check wiki. But it's slightly weaker than mountain and ocean feasts ,43 vs 45, and of course degrades quicker

[true steeple]

it has 4 regen instead of 3

[narrow python]

oh yeah, regen is the only positive IMO

[sharp nova]

and stack size/carryability

[narrow python]

yeah, but that's only for really long trips. Feasts will last whole ingame day before they start getting significantly weaker

[inland girder]

how do i make sausages again? its been a while and im at swamps now, i have thistle entrails and boar meat but the recipe wont show up

[true steeple]

you need the cauldron improvement, you probably don't have turnips

[sharp nova]

you could also use silver if you have an especially tall mountain cold resist and stagbreaker

[true steeple]

try to get a troll in there

[lusty trout]

It's funny you say that, at the top there is a troll cave. Opens straight into the pit.

[vapid warren]

You could level out the edges a bit and use grass function on the hoe to make it look more natural. I have done that a few times

[sharp nova]

i've forgotten how many pieces of copper make an outpost

10 for forge cooler, 6 for forge, 4 for mead ketill.. i feel like i've forgotten something

[thorn spire]

fermenters.

[sharp nova]

that's bronze

10 bronze for adze anvil and fermenter

[thorn spire]

oh, to bring with? gotcha.

[sharp nova]

yeah it can't go through portals

[thorn spire]

where are you in progression?

you need 13 more copper for the black forge upgrades.

[sharp nova]

haven't got there yet

still at mountains

[thorn spire]

mountain? ok that should be it. You'll need 5 more for the caudron upgrade when you get to plains.

Obliterator, if you want one.

[sharp nova]

too expensive skip for now

[jolly patrol]

I just read online there are iron veins in the swamp. Are these worth it if I have wishbone? Or should I keep hunting for crypts

[frosty frost]

Just keep it up with crypts 🙂

[livid mortar]

Calling them "iron veins" is a bit generous anyway. It's just the occasional scrap pile, like those in crypts.

[frosty frost]

Yep, they just have a bit different drop rate for stuff 😄

[spring gulch]

Not worth but fun

One of the few cheeses im ok with because its so dangerous pre swamp tier

And u get like just enough for one thing

[frosty frost]

@iron delta #screenshots message #mods-issues 😄

[sharp nova]

@stoic trench since we haven't started dm-ing yet:

do you ever stop eating 2 feasts? i've heard feasts get worse the later into the game you progress

great in swamp, okay in mountains/plains, not sure about mist/ashlands but it's not looking up

[jolly tapir]

Everyone eats differently and likes different combinations. Don't try to find the perfect recipe or follow what other user's do. Just do your own thing! You'll find a good combo you enjoy

[potent niche]

Feasts are usually worse than the top tier options of the biome they are in
the only really good feasts are Mistlands and Ashalnds because they offer a decent amount of stamina, magic and food

[vapid warren]

Yeah youve been asking about food combos for over a day lol. Look through the options in game, on the wiki or on scarlets crafting sheet.

[sharp nova]

i guess i'll stop 👉 👈 toomuchdogg if you're reading this would you dm me

[pseudo niche]

what is scarlers crafting sheet

[vapid warren]

[vapid warren]

[sharp nova]

i um.

i actually wouldnt have to ask as much if scarlet laid out lousy options that weren't worth pursuing just so i could know ×w×

[trail lagoon]

dumb question but i just started this game maybe a couple hours ago when should i fight the first boss?

[subtle parrot]

Honestly kinda whenever, have meat and honey and a flint knife and leather gear, no problem at all

[frosty frost]

Whenever you like pretty much 😄
If you have a weapon, shield, + maybe bow and arrows and some food you are good to go

[sharp nova]

just make sure to do it eating good food and rested and use flint knife or flint axe maybe a shield

[subtle parrot]

Or never lol

[willow raft]

For the first time I'd go for some higher gear than just minimum, because it is the first harder fight and you are still learning the dodge rolls and such.

[jolly tapir]

I usually do it with a bow and fire arrows. Takes longer but is the safest bet

[fathom badge]

Just make sure your bed is a bit away from the altar 😉 If you die you don't want to have to deal with that loop. Couple hundred meters at least, outside the range.

[spring gulch]

When u make tier 1 armor and weapon from a biome (deer and flint for you) and have the biomes food u can progess at your leisure pretty much

[trail lagoon]

i was able to do it just now thank you all!!!

[willow raft]

While that is true, a bit extra preparation makes it way easier.
Like going for lvl 2 or maybe even 3 if you can swing it.

[trail lagoon]

What is the next steps after doing the first boss now?

Just explore and have fun?

[spring gulch]

The antler you received allows you to make a tool that can be used to extract resources from the next biome. Definitely explore and have fun and keep an eye out for the bird

[willow raft]

Basically though the next biome is ||dark forest|| if you get to a ||swamp|| or any other that isn't ||dark forest|| or meadows you are in for a hard time.
You can now craft a tool that will help in the next biome and you will get new recipes to build and cook when you explore and grab the stuff from the next biome.

[frozen oyster]

are crossbows worth it or should i just upgrade to the spinesnap? My bow skill is level 30 and idk how good crossbows are at low level

[finite goblet]

They reload slow, but crossbows have no falloff at range making it easy to snipe stuff

[willow raft]

Crossbows are slow but shoot straight and pack some damage.
Bows shoot in a curve and need to be charged but are still faster than crossbow, both are good but depends on your playstyle.
If you want to stay ranged I find bows better but if you like to get some damage in and move closer for melee crossbows are good.

[frozen oyster]

i see

[finite goblet]

Crossbows are a good secondary. Bows are a good primary

Also leveling up crossbow skill is stupid and takes forever

[drowsy crane]

Good thing it's not crucial 👀

[fathom badge]

Think of Crossbows like a powerful sniper, bows more like a faster infantry rifle, for comparison to other games. They both have their places, but if you use them wrong you're in for a bad time.

[marble roost]

And like other games, no scoping at point blank with a sniper is still pretty good

[finite goblet]

Bow exists to solo queen by being a coward and running away

[marble roost]

Bonus points for doing a 360 first

[next ivy]

Can Fish respawn?!

[drowsy crane]

Yes, I usually mark where schools of fish are spawned near my base to quickly check them.

[fathom badge]

Fish are like all other creatures in the game, IIRC. They have rules that govern where they can spawn, and the same areas can often spawn more, but it's not like they have specific spawn points.

[drowsy crane]

In my experience they do spawn in the exact same places.

When traveling I will see a cluster of fish on a single point, and they will begin to swim away from that point only after being rendered.

[next ivy]

Except I know that fish are IMMORTAL, the only way to get rid of them is the obliterator or the dreaded preparation table 😉
I love throwing fish into my hot tub.

[drowsy crane]

I've always wanted a water moat with level 5 pufferfish infesting it. 😅

[spring gulch]

Challenge accepted

[rocky root]

should i get root armor or stay with my bear armor

[compact heath]

Root is a bit higher armour rating, resistance to pierce from chest and some poison resistance from helmet, bear has a + slash damage or something so bear is more offensive and root more defensive, root also has + bow skill so if archer there is no reason not to swap to root, and also looking like an Ent is awesome 🙂

[rocky root]

i see

[compact heath]

I sometimes play naked until I aquire root set haha

do use bear and troll on occasion too though depends what I encounter

[rocky root]

oh

[inland girder]

though the extra stamina regeneration of the berserk buff is really powerful

i say if youre afraid of getting poisoned or shot, take the root armor but if you are on a side quest take the bear armor

[tired root]

There is poison resistance mead too, which provides very resistant modifier and is better than the resistant modifier from root mask.

[true steeple]

but is it worth the neck tail

[inland girder]

lets be real who pops a potion every time they see a blob in the swamps

[marble roost]

I don’t use the elemental resistance potions

[inland girder]

the thing what makes the mask a lot better is the fact that the effect is permanent as long as you have it on

[tired root]

I personally usually use poison res mead only in boss fights, Bear armor stays until Fenris armor.

[inland girder]

same

really love the bear armor

[marble roost]

IMO the mask is pretty bad comparatively. Poison resist positions are so cheap, have a stronger effect, and don’t require you to sacrifice your helmet slot

But it’s very preference based. Some people value the inventory slot / potions resources, and not needing to micromanage potions

[inland girder]

thats true

im in the deep end of hating micromanaging stuff like food and potions lol

rather just eat honey, bear meat and deer meat and go

[marble roost]

I’m in the deep end of maximizing potential

Though it is a bit limiting/boring for me just clicking a potion rather than making intentional armor choices, which is why Ive stopped using the potions

[inland girder]

but im trying to learn to make food because this playstile is a bit harder

[inland girder]

uhh so when i was creating my newest world i removed the seed, i was wondering if its still possible to see what seed i was given because this map is lowkey fire

[frosty frost]

Are you on steam?

[inland girder]

yea

is there like a console command i could use?

[frosty frost]

Then press F5 (if nothing happens go to settings and select "enable console") and type printseeds

[inland girder]

ohhh thanks

what about making copies of a world is that possible?

as a back up i guess

yeah answered my own question

[frosty frost]

You just need to copy the .db and .fwl files 😄

[inland girder]

right thanks

[pseudo niche]

asking about backups, when a friend sent me his .db and .fwl files, and I copypasted them into the worlds folder, that world didn't show up right away in the world list. The save did show up in Manage Saves however, and I had to select it and clicked "Restore backup"
Is that how it normally works? I feel like I we might have done something wrong. I mean it did work out in the end but I panicked a little when I didn't see the save after copypasting

[frosty frost]

Might be better to paste it to worlds_local folder, but honestly have no idea

[sharp nova]

the impression i got from this server was that there are ||drake|| raids, but i never read about them in the wiki. did i fool myself?

[tired root]

It's ||true||.

[sharp nova]

dam

[frosty frost]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Events You can look here, tho there are even later raids listed, so carefull spoilers

[tired root]

It's boss army raid, so beating mountain boss will disable it for good.

[sharp nova]

"a cold wind blows from the north" yes i remember now

[acoustic rivet]

Not fun. I lost a lot of wolves to that one. And the something stirs in the cauldron or sum

[sharp quartz]

Does bow level/damage increase the elemental damage of arrows (fire/spirit etc) or only the pierce damage

[frosty frost]

It might increase just the bows dmg, not arrows

[thorn spire]

Bows have their own damage separate from the arrows. They're added together when you hit.

[sharp quartz]

I was going to say if I only care about the spirit damage part of my arrows should I go back to using a Finewood bow for the lower stamina cost, but then I remembered Spinesnap adds spirit damage as well

[thorn spire]

Yes it does.

[pseudo niche]

how far does finewood bow go?
Isn't it an early game one?

[thorn spire]

finewood has same max velocity (=range) as huntsman bow. The next three are higher.

However the difference is pretty low.

[frosty frost]

The huntsman has better accuracy than finewood and makes less noise than other bows tho 😄 which is quite nice, but not necessary ofc

[sharp quartz]

In 1600 hours I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I felt like bow noise was an important factor

[thorn spire]

and honestly, range is not an issue if you learn how to use a mortar. I've taken out targets at the render limit just because I know how high to aim.

[inland girder]

hmm i wonder if im looking from the correct place because the latest .db and .fwl files were last edited in 2022. where else could they be stored than in C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds ?

[frosty frost]

do you see worlds_local folder?

[inland girder]

found it thanks

[inland girder]

I ran printseeds, and console gave me world seed: 0/

ive got no seed lol

[raven oyster]

Hello guys
Is there any guide for chosing right armor and weapon set for biome ?
I really want to test some light builds since i find the speed and movement really in my playstyle

[sharp nova]

if you're looking for a guide like this you should probably check YT

there are no guides like that here because ultimately it's all up to personal preference

[raven oyster]

Do you have any recomandation ?

[iron delta]

how does one get that odin dlc stuff? theres nothing on the steam page

[sharp nova]

i've never looked for any so i wouldnt know

but as general rules, full troll is decent for early sneaking and bear with bronze helm gives higher armor with no movement penalty

i don't think crafting heavy armor is possible before black forest and i don't know if there's a strictly light armor during swamp

[tired root]

Only early supporters have had chance for that, meaning people who contributed in Alpha/Beta version of Valheim.

[iron delta]

sigh

[tired root]

There are following armor sets: ||Troll||/||Bear|| armor in black forest, ||Root|| in swamps (has -2% ms penalty on chest and legs tho), ||Fenris|| in Mountains, ||Vilebone|| in Plains, ||Ask set|| in Ashlands.

[raven oyster]

With light armor do i need to pair specific weapons?

ive seen something with Fenris in mountains with the fenris claw
OR weapon pairing doesnt matter

[tired root]

You can really use any weapons you want, there are no requirements.

[gray herald]

Probably the best is to go for whatever you feel comfortable with. If you liked the sword and shield combo in the Bronze Age, continue with that in the swamp and mountain as skill and muscle memory is important.

[tired root]

Some armor sets might grant extra skill points for specific skills (like Fenris and ||Root||), or damage modifier for certain damage type (like ||Bear||, ||Vilebone|| and ||Ask||).

[gray herald]

But I love the fist weapons paired with a mace and a spear. Spears are usually really cheap to make and do good damage.

[sharp nova]

you can also wear any helmet you want with 0 movement penalty ❤️‍🩹

even if the other setpieces are heavy

[raven oyster]

Was using the spear this run , really funny tho

[raven oyster]

Helmet fun here

will def put it ahah

[sharp nova]

bronze helm my shiny beloved

[sharp nova]

do be aware that sometimes a full set will grant you a bonus you won't get wearing a somewhat heavy helmet

[tired root]

Nowadays I use ||Vilebone|| chest and legs paired with Carapace helmet when venturing to Ashlands after Mistlands.

[iron talon]

Does bears spawn in black forest even if you cut down all the trees?

[tired root]

Gathering materials and terraforming won't affect to random spawns.

[iron talon]

Okay thanks. Just want to make it easier to spot them

[iron delta]

random question, is there any way to become a shapeshifting fenring?

[tired root]

Nope.

[fresh rapids]

how to get ectoplasm faster than visiting burial chambers with (ghost skeletons?)

[gray herald]

Really no other way aside from getting the “a chill down your spine” raid to happen which is random

[pseudo niche]

do all dungeons have some kinda signs to spot them as I run around?
I have only visited swamp crypts and ashlands forts unfortunately, and the green flames/beams were nice

I remember I struggled to find a burial chamber? I wasted a full game day in a dark forest near base and gave up finding it

[sinful moth]

They have that blue mist near them, but nothing that's easy to spot from further away sadly

[wet oriole]

The easiest way to find the burial chambers 'blindly' is just walking around until two or three skeletons jump out of the bushes. That lets you know one is nearby. :p

[pseudo niche]

oh I think I found one like that
but it was just blue mist and skeletons around some sort of stone house and there is no prompt to enter it or anything? I walked around it and walked through it multiple times, it was just empty

[vapid warren]

Theyre also around stone buildings that arent dungeons. If those stone buildings arent there there should be a dungeon

[pseudo niche]

wow I found a fake one
heart broken

[sharp nova]

you can also not talk to hugin when he shows up nearby

this makes him keep showing up at new ones

if you want to reset your hugin tips you can do so in your settings

[marble roost]

To add on to Elite's comment, pump raid rate up to max and sit in your base until that raid happens

[viral pond]

Why are your armor sets redacted?

[frosty frost]

Spoilers

[tired root]

I put spoiler tags just in case. Tap them and they open.

[viral pond]

Ok.

[wild stump]

guys where can i find valheim mods

[vapid warren]

#mods-discussion

[lusty trout]

Heyy, is there a way to rename a world save please?

[subtle parrot]

You have to change all the names in the save files for that world, never done it, but from what I've seen others say in here it should be possible

[hushed garden]

You CAN change the name, but it will still show up with both the old and new name.

You need to rename YOURWORLD.db and YOURWORLD.fwl.

[vapid warren]

There was a website you could upload them to rename, but it stopped working with newer versions of valheim

[hollow jackal]

does this mistwalker actually make you see more in the mistlands? Or is it useless?

[marble pagoda]

it clears some mist but not as much as a proper wisplight
cool to have
you can usually run through mist without any wisplight just by zooming in your camera tho

[vapid warren]

By itself it pushes back the mist a little

[frosty frost]

Yep, 5 meter radius of clearing compared to wisplights 10m 🙂

[sharp nova]

is it ever raining in the middle of the ocean but not on land

the false stops and starts to the raining seems too inconsistent to be random

[hushed garden]

I mean, if you have a storm, it rains pretty hard when sailing on the ocean.

And the rain is not random, afaik.

[spring gulch]

Each biome has their own weather i believe, so yes. You can avoid fog by sailing to a coast sometimes too this way

[jolly patrol]

So I'm kinda new and i found all 3 merchants. is there anything i should buy? i bought the fishing pole and the weight belt but that's it so far. i was thinking about the basic clothes for farming and stuff but idk

i beat bonemass btw

[tired root]

Buy almost everything at least once, some items may unlock new recipes later.

Little correction, almost anything from others except Hildir, she sells mostly clothes.

[finite goblet]

They also unlock more as you beat bosses

Hildir gives quests with minibosses to unlock more stuff for her

Hildir isnt very useful imo except for the farming stuff

And i guess building/landscaping

[vapid warren]

You should def buy ymir flesh from haldor

[tired root]

Stuff from Bog Witch is definitely very useful. You might like to buy lots of cured squirrel hamstrings.

[finite goblet]

Most useful trader item is the spices from the bog witch and haldors belt, at least ino

But some of the bog witch potions are strong, like the ratatosk as stated above (squirrel hamstring)

Also, fishing in this game is kinda unimportant. Best thing fish are used for is sailors bounty imo

You can get away without ever fishing. It is an easy way to get ok ish stam food in bf tho

Also technically fishing in plains is good for the fish and bread, but that is painful

[tired root]

There is one strong stamina food later, which requires certain fish. Some other fish also are required for meads/potions.

[finite goblet]

right, but you dont need the fish potions per se

Hmm actually, trollfish potions

[tired root]

That's pretty useful one tho. Not needed true, but very nice to have. And it's not too bad fishing trollfish for them.

[finite goblet]

Can also find fishing rods in frost caves rarely

[echo garden]

the moder I was going for is completely surrounded by mistlands, any ideas on how to get past it without dying? I don't want to spend hours trying to find another moder

[tired root]

Surrounded fully? Is there any mistless areas?

[echo garden]

not a single meter, I was fucking pissed

[tired root]

Being very quick about it then. Eikthyr power helps with running and jumping. Ratatosk for extra speed.

[echo garden]

but I can't see shit, I'm going to get stuck

[tired root]

You can, when you zoom in your view as close as possible and keep moving fast.

[spring gulch]

Eh u can see enough just put on fenris use eik and rat and nothing will touch u

[scenic patio]

Better find another moder spawn

[limpid stone]

anyone got a link to the parry spreadsheet

[sharp nova]

check the first pin in #valheim-chat

from before all the other pin

[limpid stone]

thanks

[barren rivet]

use your hammer and a building piece that has a direction to it, use that to hold your direction at least, just keep going uphill-ish til you hit mountains. bonus points if you can drop a portal in case of ambush. sometimes you get dead on your boat before you can even get ashore 😭 though….

Hello everyone!
I was wo dering if anyone had advice for setting up a modded server on linux
I've run a few servers on windows before. Am I still able to use the Valheim Dedicated Server option from steam?

Probably best to ask in #dedicated-server or #mods-discussion .

[rapid swift]

Hi guys, im having a problem where whenever i login in a hosted server i get in without any problem but instantly after the access the missing connection icon starts to blink and i get disconnected after like 1 minute, what could it be? I dont have any internet issues, and my friends have no problem in the same server

[ornate finch]

Usually as result of playing over VPN. Do you have any installed (or the host of the world for that matter)

If you are all on Steam, easiest solution would be for the host to disable crossplay option before starting their world as a server

[rapid swift]

none of us had VPN, im on xbox app and he's on steam, might be just a moment issue? Had it all night but i never had problems

[ornate finch]

Then you do need crossplay to be enabled.

Would be a good idea that you both double check that you don't have something like this in your network adapters list.
(start - type and open device manager - expand the list of network adapters)

[dapper sigil]

Hey does anyone know a good server to join for resources for my main world?

[vapid warren]

make a farming world?

[dapper sigil]

Thanks in advance. I was hoping to join one that was partly set up with portals to bioms alread built to save time?

If that exists?

[vapid warren]

people probably dont want others to join their worlds just to take resources and peace out

[dapper sigil]

Thats fair but I know there are places like that but i can't find one. Something like Jotune world possibly?

Im not trying to ruin anyone's world

My friend owns our world and I was hoping to find a quick farm world to play in while he's gone since I can't access my main world

[vapid warren]

you can check out #1024264966712340510

[dapper sigil]

If it comes down to it ill make my own but was hoping to save time but ok thank you for the help

[brave sentinel]

Hello i have a question, Are two-handed swords good?

[vagrant bobcat]

yes

[sharp nova]

flatten the ground where the gates are

[pseudo niche]

is it possible to create land bridges across oceans?

[sharp nova]

have you considered swimming betwixt rafts?

[ivory lotus]

depends if the ground underwater is close enough for you to build a support

you can raise underwater ground with a hoe and stone in your inventory

[sharp nova]

tips on gathering lots of blueberries for black forest ||feast||?

[ivory lotus]

one big tip is pin every cluster of them onto your map so you can do a blueberry run easily when they respawn whenever

or get the mod planteverything so you can plant blueberry bushes at base 😎

[vagrant bobcat]

river? maybe... oceans? hell no

[frosty frost]

Not really unless you use commands to give yourself anchor points as you go further into the ocean

[vagrant bobcat]

maybe if u allow flying (cheating) and build with iron poles.. but honestly idk how ocean is really deep

[vapid warren]

i managed to connect two landmasses, but there was a rock in the water in the middle

[warm dirge]

Someone on youtube actually tried building a land bridge from the Ashlands to the next nearest continent. He got shockingly far out, but the center of the oceans between continents is just too deep to build on.

[drowsy crane]

That's terrifying, you could leak the scourge of Ashlands into the rest of Valheim. 😨

[vapid warren]

this is the location of the bridge i made, going top left tip through the island and hitting the tip across

[warm dirge]

That distance actually looks doable. You already made it?

[vapid warren]

oh i made it 5 years ago, i raised ground, its entirely made out of stone and there's room enough for a longship to sail unde it

[warm dirge]

Oh my gosh that's amazing. Can we see photos of it? I've been trying to find a good bridge design that's still big enough to sail under.

[vapid warren]

you can see my character in the second image in the middle for scale

[spring gulch]

What did you snap the first layer of angled beams to in the lighthouse thing?

[vapid warren]

i think i started on top and built it down

there's an iron beam going up the center

[spring gulch]

Ty

[warm dirge]

I cant find the words to describe how much I love that build.

[vapid warren]

check out the second level storage in the big building #building-screenshots message

[warm dirge]

Man Im loving all your stuff.

[vapid warren]

i do tours of my settlement, its much bigger than this lol

[quiet wraith]

Hi, i'm trying to catch all fishes but i'm struggling with the magmafish, does it only spawn at the shores of ashland or i can fish it where the ashlands water begins?

[spring gulch]

U can fish it on the border of the red n blue water. First one i got was one that jumped out of water there. Some blue water is in ash biome sometimes, sail the border. You can also find them close to shore but fishing there is more perilous

[quiet wraith]

Thanks u ^^ yea i was trying to fish them o nthe shore but the archers weren't too happy about it :x

[sharp nova]

will activating eikthyr's power account for Fins of Destiny's whole adrenaline cost?

[spring gulch]

Forsaken activation grants 10 adrenaline

[sharp nova]

✊
yes.

[wraith adder]

hi guys my builds go green to red* instantly im currently bui,lding a second floor for my house does anyone have an idea what am i doing wrong

[sturdy folio]

Builds can only be built so high - especially with wooden structure pieces.

If you're going high you'll need either core wood or iron beams to support the structure from the ground

[wraith adder]

omgggg

was that the reasonn i was using normal wood

soo i cant support that 2nd floor unless i use those woods u mentioned

[sturdy folio]

It's fine to use wood but you'll need to throw in some stronger foundation pieces here and there

[wraith adder]

tysm bro <3

[sharp nova]

moved to #valheim-chat

[sturdy folio]

As in you moved it? if so, why?

[sharp nova]

it wasn't help relevant, this isn't the place for a livejournal

[sturdy folio]

A, It was help related... they needed help with completing a roof on a build
B, moving chat is not your call to make when I'm helping them

[sharp nova]

no.... this was related to this post #valheim-chat message

i'd originally posted that here

[sturdy folio]

Oh, that makes a lot more sense

ignore what I said 👍

[sharp nova]

happily #u#

more relevantly

how many stamina foods should i pair with fins of destiny?

[marble roost]

Depends on what you’re trying to do. Usually I use 0.5 stamina foods, with or without fins

[sharp nova]

i'm trying to cross a river ocean lake

[marble roost]

If you wanna swim far they benefit more from activating eikthyr or downing a swim potion to make stamina usage zero, rather than upping your stamina

If you end up running out of stamina mid swim you could also drink a stamina potion

[sharp nova]

should i eat like. one whole medium tier stamina food?

just to be safe

[tall basin]

hello i defeated the yagluth boss but didn't get a torn spirit is there a reason for this?

[long kestrel]

I have posted here before and had no response. For some reason, my game won’t transfer to my new computer. It’s downloaded oh my guys are there, but my world is gone. The map is 0% searched, even though it shows the same world name. Can anyone help me here? I don’t know where else to go for help. This is labeled help.

[hushed garden]

Ok,

1. Is your save game LOCAL or CLOUD?
2. If it is CLOUD, you need to transfer it to LOCAL.
3. Once it is local, you need to transfer the correct folders to your new computer.
4. On Windows (assumed) it is usually at: C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\LocalLow\CoffeeStain\IronGate\Valheim (if I remember correctly).

Just move the entire CoffeeStain folder over to the exact same location on your new computer.

Could be without the CoffeeStain and just IronGate. (I'm on a Mac, and I'm writing this from memory).

[hushed garden]

There is a known bug that if you kill Yagluth on the altar, the dropped torn spirits might end up below his altar. The only solution is currently to spawn the torn spirits in via devcommands. My apologies.

[echo garden]

I remember using the atgeir spin to harvest crops back in the day, but I've heard now there's a scythe for that. Is the scythe better than the atgeir for harvesting crops?

[hushed garden]

I'm old fashioned. I just pick them one by one. 😄

[echo garden]

that's awful

[hushed garden]

I think the scythe might use less stamina. And no. Why is it awful?

[echo garden]

slow and tedious

[hushed garden]

This is a sloooooow game.

I play it to relax.

[echo garden]

but there's ways to make it slightly faster

[hushed garden]

I actually don't want that. 😄

[echo garden]

I do, for some things

[hushed garden]

But yeah, I'd just give it a try with the scythe.

[echo garden]

farming is one of them

[hushed garden]

I like to build, cultivate my crops, harvest, forage, you know... living the life. 😉

[echo garden]

well even stardew valley, which is focused on that, had a tool to improve harvesting after popular demand

[hushed garden]

And now you have one too in Valheim. 🙂

[echo garden]

yes, I'd like to know if its better than the atgeir before making one

[barren rivet]

scythe also improves with farming skill, less stamina bigger area and levels farming, no more atgier

[hushed garden]

Like I said, less stamina.

Didn't remember the bigger area.

I never used atgeir for that, didn't want to accidentally ruin my harvest.

I just used the scythe, it uses like 5-6 stamina. Very low.

[frosty frost]

Scythe also enables you to get the extra drops from farming skill, atgeirs dont

[finite goblet]

the real strat is fireball staff

[spring gulch]

I love picking, can't stand the scythe 😂

[hushed garden]

😄

[spring gulch]

Wait, BIGGER AREA? this may change my gameplay

[spring gulch]

R u talking about the huts? I havent played in a while but I dont remember a harvesting tool other than the little guys

[pseudo niche]

probably the ||iridium|| scythe

[echo garden]

the scythe that you get in a cave. It was added in 1.4

[pseudo niche]

damn I recall the wrong material

[spring gulch]

I trusted u and deleted gold 😂

[pseudo niche]

oh I just checked wiki, there are both the golden and iridium version
I couldn't recall which one is obtained when so well anymore, it has been too long

[spring gulch]

P sure the gold is from the cave, flint makes u iridium

[pseudo niche]

gold is from the cave yeah, but iridium is from farming mastery apparently. Wiki told me that but I don't really remember much that I did
I think I have gotten them at some point, but again, I haven't touched stardew for a while

[bleak forum]

Question

[marble roost]

Answer

[bleak forum]

I placed a campfire in my house on the 2nd story and it keeps going on and off and we dont know why

Also happend in other builds

[spring gulch]

Smoked out or not roofed

[frosty frost]

Does it have enough clearence for the smoke above it?

[bleak forum]

Oh might be that then

Since I tried to make a chimney

[bleak forum]

Thanks for the help :)

[barren rivet]

yup, the higher your farm skill the bigger the scythe aoe its very noticeable

[spring gulch]

[jolly patrol]

is there silver in ice caves? I'm in one right now and am wondering if i can put my belt back on or if i need the wishbone

[thorn spire]

Nope. Use the be.t

*belt

[pseudo niche]

belt?

[narrow python]

purchased from one friendly dwarf, it increases your carry weight by 150

[pseudo niche]

oh that is a belt
I always misspell its name lmao

merinjord something

[spring frigate]

Why did my pig ran off from me?!

2* boar, tamed just sprinted off into wilderness

[solid nymph]

i havent tried to tame anything yet, did he come back? ;-;

[spring frigate]

Doesn't look like it, luckly i just found out he at least made a 2* Baby who seems to be chill and eats peacefully

But i still dont get it why it sprinted off
Ruffus, why? q.q

[solid nymph]

He must've had important things to attend to lol

did you go for pens or a big hole?

glad he left some kin behind tho haha

[spring frigate]

he went to place where i found him

i dragged him for good few minutes agroed when he was still untamed, figured he tries to go back to his spawn point but why? he got tamed and all

[pseudo niche]

I think the wiki mentioned this somewhere
about boars spawning from specific set pieces would try to come back there no matter what, and you are better off getting an offspring and then go from there
or something like that

bug or feature?
no idea

[spring frigate]

Well at least he left his kid-
OMG HE WENT OUT FOR MILK

[pseudo niche]

lmao

[hushed sigil]

Yes, when taken too far from spawn point they spend their life trying to get back.
Once you make some little piggies and are happy with their star rating I recommend killing the originals and going with the babies whom now have a spawn point presumably where you wanted them and will now stay.

I’ve watched both boars and wolves cross oceans just to get back home.

[spring frigate]

Damn..

[hushed sigil]

Yeeep required two players, a boat and a harpoon to get them back again until we trapped them in properly haha

[solid nymph]

do higher tiered pickaxes help with terraforming? or is it just better durability and more damage to ore/rocks? just thinking of sticking with antler so i dont have to move my forge

[spring gulch]

ur correct its damage and durability terraforming is normal

[solid nymph]

gotcha, tysm

[lusty trout]

Any reason for a tree to be launched at me horizontally doing over 45 damage and instantly killing me? What's causing it to launch sideways instead of just falling over like all the others?

Yeah, that's so unbelievably stupid. I'm done with this game at least until 1.0. I don't know why a tree can't just fall over instead of staying upright and being launched at me with enough force to do over 45 damage in one hit... genuinely a waste of my time.

[full mesa]

Trees are kind of weightless but are still influenced by gravity if that makes sense, so even the chonkiest tree (oak) you can still push it with ease, yes even a greyling can push it if they want to.

in your case yours probably just got caught on a another tree's branch and the gravity just said "screw you" and decided to speed up lol, the faster the log falls = more damage

Plus it sounds like you're still early game, trees wont be much of a probably once you eat some food preferably health rich food

also trees are unpredictable with their falling

unless you push em yourself

[lusty trout]

Taking over 45 damage from a tree getting launched sideways is absurd. I simply shouldn't have to prepare like I'm about to fight a boss to go cut some trees, it's unreasonable... I'm fine with moving out of the way but not when after the final chop I get killed instantly because the tree is launched sideways.

[full mesa]

sounds like a case of the tree clipping into another and glitching out which causes it to speed up instantly killing you

Your not alone with the tree shenanigans, we've all been there

It's become the norm for valheim players lol

that you'll eventually die to a tree either in a dumb way or by other means

You'll get used to it

plus you're still early game, theres more "bs" later compared to just a giant stick on the ground

[jolly tapir]

I have never died to a tree. It is NOT nromal for a tree to get launched

[lusty trout]

Something as basic as gathering wood shouldn't be.

[full mesa]

I get it yes, but later on you'll have enough health/armor where you can just tank the tree or even just take like 1 point of dmg

Its an annoyance for sure but you gotta get used to it

besides tree physics has one advantage and is that it makes farming for wood easier

a domino effect you should say

[full mesa]

tree clipping at its finest

[hushed sigil]

Whoa you haven’t Valheimed until you v tree and lost

[inland girder]

the tree is the final forsaken

[ivory lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372

though i have cut wood in valheim for literally many hundreds of hours total and that hasnt happened to me

trees falling onto me killing me, sure, probably over a thousand times, but not that

[lusty trout]

I wouldn't be annoyed if it was just me not moving out of the way in time or from another tree falling on me afterwards. That is completely different to a tree coming at me still completely vertical, at such speed it's within the same half second as me making the final cut... it's absurd.

[timid narwhal]

hi if i want to play new world with old character, is it possible to forget recipes? and play it such as new character too?

[frosty frost]

Iirc there is a command for this, let me check

[tired root]

Resetknownitems maybe.

[frosty frost]

Yep 😄 exactly that ^ @timid narwhal

[timid narwhal]

thanks i can enjoy it again 😄

[tired root]

It seems not need to use console, typing /resetknownitems on chat box should work.

[timid narwhal]

i have console so it is working

[tired root]

Yeah, but FYI.

[ivory lotus]

im not sure you will enjoy later game if im being honest. wait til you sail too close to a plains and get instakilled by a mosquito you never saw coming type stuff

[lusty trout]

No, I have played the game a lot but I recently picked the game back up and dying to buggy trees repeatedly, it is extremely off putting. I've had trees fall on me, stagger me, whatever. But over 45 damage in one go, that was completely unavoidable, it's annoying several deaths later.

[ivory lotus]

thats actually kind of strange. never happened to me nor have i heard of anyone else getting that

unless its just so common that no ones mentioned it to me lol

[barren rivet]

repeatedly this happens?? that is extremely rare to take so much damage instantly after cutting a tree, sometimes they hit other trees and knock them down and act crazy vis seesaw physics but it shouldnt be that big an issue.

do you have tree mods or something?

[fossil ledge]

Maybe he was just in low health from the beginning

But indeed

45 damages is too much for a tree, I never got more than 4 damages with falling trees

[lusty trout]

I don't play with mods. It's not happened repeatedly, however I have taken absurd amounts of damage from trees. I'm usually fine with it because it usually doesn't kill me.

Yeah, like I've had 20 maybe 40 at the very high end from a tree, but a tree hitting me so soon after the final cut and doing 45 damage is ridiculous.

[sharp nova]

i mean the reason i consistently survive trees is i always run away

and you don't max out at 45 hp very long it makes sense to dye to silly stuff like that in the early game

[drowsy crane]

Without visual proof I would have to assume this is an exaggeration or a misunderstanding of the physics at play that lead to the tree swinging toward you. I've culled entire islands of their trees and have 1500 hours in Valheim, and haven't once encountered what you describe. 👀

[spring gulch]

Shakes fist at physics

[lusty trout]

I wish I was playing it on xbox at the time so I could capture it, like the last 30 seconds or something. I don't know how to go about setting something like that on pc and I can't be bothered to either.

I don't know how I could exaggerate a tree killing me within the same second as my final axe swing doing over 45hp of damage as it got launched towards me. It's what happened. I'm not saying it launched me across the map or something. Believe it, or not.

[crystal kiln]

gravity being gravity in valheim
most of us died to it at least once... or twice

[drowsy crane]

I understand, I already stated I don't believe it. 😅

[inland girder]

does crystal heart and bonemass effects stack?

so if you have 2 slightly resistants do you get resistant?

[true steeple]

the most powerful resistance is used. this means resistances can override weaknesses but they don't stack with other resistances

serpent shield pierce resist can stack with other pierce resistance because blocking resistances are applied earlier

[manic gyro]

This has happened to me as well. My guess is that it was some weird collision interaction with nearby trees/rocks, maybe coupled with the fact that I was playing on a server so network interference might have played a role too

But it's rare for me, it happened 2 times in total

[sharp nova]

actually better question

[sharp nova]

was it 5 gigs of my friend's wireless hotspot data that valheim used?

or was it perhaps an updating steam game?

i have several heavy steam games

[proper moat]

Question.. is it worth it to craft and use big weapons (2 handed Axe, 2 handed Sword, Himinaffel etc?) I kinda wanna play a warrior/tank build but are those weaons even viable? Or is a Shield and sword always better ? What advantages do they have?

[narrow python]

Atgeirs are great for crowd control, since the secondary attack has 6x stagger, and hits in full circle around you with good reach. 2H swords have powerful single-target secondary that is also good for staggering, and great followup. I never really got used to 2H axes though....

in general, they're more active weapons, rather than reactive shield gameplay where you usually parry first and then attack

[proper moat]

Ok and what food armor etc would ubsuggest if i wanna play like this ?

[narrow python]

HHS, HSS or HFS, usually light armor since you need to dodge with them

[proper moat]

So no heavy armor ?

[narrow python]

it's not ideal IMO, since you won't parry much

having the movement speed for easier positioning and dodging is more valuable I think

[proper moat]

I mean its not liek the game gives u a lot of choices

Like how many ,,light,, armors are there ? 2 ? The troll and the root armor

[subtle parrot]

Heavy armor isn't bad imo, but light armors won't give you a movement penalty

[tired root]

Each biome has light armor except Mistlands.

[subtle parrot]

Quite a few more

[narrow python]

light are leather, troll, bear, fenris, vilebone and ask

[tired root]

Black forest got another one.

[subtle parrot]

Bear for example

[narrow python]

root is kinda medium armor since it has movement penalties, just not as big

[proper moat]

Btw another question

How in Odins name am i supposed to survive the Ashlands. I get wiped even with end level gear

Its not like the mobs are strong but there are millions of them

[narrow python]

it's tough, but doable. Make a portal on a pillar close to shore, so you can go back easier when you die

[proper moat]

Even if i have destroyed the pillars they just keep spawning

[tired root]

AoE weapons can help when surrounded, or letting bigger enemies hurt each other with their attacks that deal friendly fire.

One defensive hack: ||Root Harnesk helps a lot against large amount of enemies attacks since they deal mostly pierce damage||.

[sharp nova]

@tired root what's the plains light armor?

[narrow python]

vilebone. Gotta venture out at night ot get it though
