[proper moat]

And what 4 ranged weapons ? Bow or Crossbow ?

[frosty frost]

Bow for more dps, crossbow for disatnce sniping/opening the fight

[sharp nova]

like fenris for mountains at night, right?

[tired root]

Materials for Fenris armor is found in frost caves.

[narrow python]

kinda. There is a mob spawning only in plains at night

[tired root]

Ah, you meant mobs spawning during night?

[narrow python]

I guess she meant Fenrings that spawn at night in the mountains

[tired root]

Yeah, figured.

[sharp nova]

am i able to retrieve all those materials without night ventures?

[tired root]

Nope.

Need the material from night spawning mob.

[hushed sigil]

A bright night with the moon out is the best time to go looking.

Anyone’s game keeps crashing their pc even on low settings? Please if you know why or have a fix text me 🙁 it’s killing me

[fresh notch]

I'm on PC hosting server. My friend is on XBox Series X trying to join the server. They are getting the incompatible error. It says i am running an older version than theirs, but I've completely updated it.
Both of our games are updated. They've played with me before. No mods. Playing through steam. A second friend is also on PC & joining fine.
Any ideas on a solution?

[subtle parrot]

Is your xbox friend signed up for the PTB? If so, they will need to disable the PTB through the insider hub app

[fresh notch]

They're subscribed but not using it? They're playing the game preview edition.

They show 0.221.13 downloaded, but the server says 0.221.12 2, even tho I have the game fully updated.

[subtle parrot]

It will be the game preview version until 1.0 is released, if they're subscribed to the PTB then it will not work with your version of the game because it is updated and the live version you're using is not

[fresh notch]

How can they access the insider hub app to disable it? They subscribed when it was on xbox game pass, but have since bought the game & undownloaded the app. I didn't think they were still affected by it.

[hushed sigil]

Start a session with duck.ai and ask it how to solve your problem

[sharp nova]

"pungent pebbles"

i think i know what they are...
should i not say it?

[barren rivet]

troll needs more fiber in his diet if its pebbly

[spring gulch]

Sometimes when fishing off of a karve, still, a 3m cast will cause you to lose your bait, is there something I'm missing?

[barren rivet]

i thought bait got used if you reel your line in all the way or hook a fish

[spring gulch]

Sometimes when you cast the bobber and line just disappear

Also it does not consume it on fish hook, only re cast or total reel in

Or unequipping

[barren rivet]

oh thats odd idk that ive noticed that happening

weeee spicy troll bear fight. more miners for the node lol

[rocky elk]

I'm trying to play valheim on my steam deck but when I join my server I just get stuck on the password screen. I can't do anything, I pressed every button and tried to open the keyboard with Steam+X, nothing. Anyone know a fix?

[tawny solar]

Hold the steam button and use the scroll pad to click on the password thing to type
Then press X to bring up the keyboard (if this step DOESNT work, get a keyboard to type)

I hope this helps

[hushed sigil]

Yes same thing happens if you move around while fishing. It’s got to do with how the boat can move you while it bobs around

[spring gulch]

Oo I havent noticed that bc i dont move at all

[worn gorge]

if im just going sword + shield all game should i be going the heavy set or the light set? im at either vile/padded armor and idk what to do

[next ivy]

Hmm, probably heavy/padded for defensive reasons, better parrying too.
The Root Harnesk Chestpiece made of Roots/Abominations from the Swamp is a good chest piece to weave in for resistance to pierce (50% less damage) due to the next biome's pierce overload

[worn gorge]

ty, and what about shield types. should i be going round/buckler or tower?

ill eventually go great sword

[next ivy]

If you like parrying, the bucklers are best, but with a normal shield (Black Metal Shield for instance) work fine too.
If you do not like timing parries, or want to wall off armies, the tower shield can suffice

[hushed sigil]

To balance it out, I roll with light armour only, sword and round shield.

[worn gorge]

every new place u go to u get light armor?

[hushed sigil]

Yeah when possible but that’s because I enjoy speed and mobility over tank.
However, because I play with my kids sometimes, I have to have a full tank gear build so I can soak it up while they hack and slash because otherwise they all melt etc. but then I grew up playing these games so ya know, find ur style and get good.

I’m also the builder which I really probably love the most about this game

[worn gorge]

same

[hushed sigil]

#building-ideas message making this atm

[proper moat]

So as i sayed yesterday i wanna try an Atgier build. What would u guys reccomend ? 4 Armor, Food, God buffs etc. I mostly used the 2h weapons as Decoration so far so id enjoy a armir that doesnt make me slow af but also cam tank a bit. I heared the root harness can be quiet good but will it be effective even beyond the swamp ? Like in Mountains ,plains,mistlands ans Ashlands ?

[true steeple]

root harnesk is better for pierce damage even in ashlands

it’s a percentage based reduction so it doesn’t drop in progression like armor points do

[proper moat]

Ye i heared most enemys do Pierce damage

[novel sable]

Hi everyone, I uploaded my Valheim save to the G-portal 1 month Ago. I want to download latest save but even tho we played for 1 month, latest files update is 9th of April, instead of May.
Does someone know how to "resave" it?
So i Can download our latest progress world

[finite goblet]

There are no fire bolts, correct?

[true steeple]

there are only pierce bolts

[marble roost]

Not much of a specific build, it’s whatever you like. Atgeir is good with any build

[proper moat]

The thing is i always run out of stamina

[pseudo niche]

same...

[proper moat]

Also...

Vikings did travel a lot on sea right ?

Why do i start to f***ing drown after swimming 5 meters XD like those are strong warriors but get easily murdered if the enemy pushes them in a Puddel lmao

[frosty frost]

Because the didnt swim most of the time, they had these things called ships xD

[iron talon]

Anyone have dathost as dedicated server and experiencing lagging?

[tired root]

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

[proper moat]

Yes but i given that they did that u could expect that they wouldnt drown after 5m if swimming

[tired root]

Realistically swimming with all gear on can be hard.

[agile delta]

what armor should i get on swamps, iron or root

[narrow python]

root

the chest, at least. It's one of most useful pieces of armor even for further biomes

[agile delta]

it will be harder to defeat bonemass? with root armor

[frosty frost]

Not much if at all 🙂

[agile delta]

and on mountains fenris armor or silver armor

[frosty frost]

Depends on your playstyle really, same with root or iron honestly. If you are confident in your ability to dodge and run around then the fenris and root would probably be better, but if you are depending more on tanking a few hits and dealing dmg even when being hit then the heavy armours would be good. 🙂

[agile delta]

thx

[sinful moth]

also you don't need poison mead when using the mask

[frosty frost]

-# Well you dont need it while you have the mask, but the mead provides better resistance against poison

[sinful moth]

ah mb

[frosty frost]

Oh no worries at all 😄 the mask is awesome if you dont want to make mead. You just get 50% reduction of dmg instead of the meads 75%

[agile delta]

what if i use mask and mead at same time

[sinful moth]

only higher resistance is counted then

[frosty frost]

You will still have 75% reduction 🙂

[barren rivet]

especially when they forgot to leave their cultivator at home.

[tired root]

Yeah it is heavy.

[frosty frost]

Would be slightly lighter if made from iron

[barren rivet]

is iron lighter than bronze?? ida thought bronze was lighter cuz its softer, or is that dumbdumb logic?

[crystal kiln]

bronze is harder than iron, actually

[frosty frost]

Yep, iron is lighter 🙂 around 7.87 grams per cm cubed
Bronze (going by googles first result, there are many types of bronzes) around 8.8

[barren rivet]

wha? that doesnt sound right based on every nerdy combat history video ive ever seen

[crystal kiln]

they are talking about steel, not iron

[barren rivet]

i thought bronze bent and dinged a ton but they could just easily melt it down and recast it

so i assumed it was a soft metal

[frosty frost]

I am willing to bet they reffered to either early steel and/or hardened bronze there 😄

[crystal kiln]

bronze is a very hard and brittle alloy, iron is malleable
steel on the other hand is whatever you need it to be if you know what you are doing and can be exceptionally hard, tough or flexible

[frosty frost]

Softer than even modern soft steels, at least when the bronze is not hardened, but pure iron is very soft and you can harden bronze significantly 😄

[barren rivet]

brittle??? but swords that bend in half and stuff

[frosty frost]

Eeeeh... Reeeealy depends on type of bronze...

Also, lets go to general maybe xD

[crystal kiln]

true

[tired root]

However, the truth is there is never enough iron in Valheim.

[crystal kiln]

never

[rich roost]

Hello can some one tel me haw can i place a carv using devcommands on land?

[frosty frost]

You dont need devcommands, just hold shift when using hammer 🙂

[rich roost]

@frosty frostty

it wont let me

[tired root]

Build workbench first, then you can build the Karve in the building area.

Ah, missed on land...

[frosty frost]

It should 🤔 let me try

[rich roost]

i'm triing to do a museum on the server that i play on

i''m using debugmode

and B

[frosty frost]

I can normally place the ships by using shift 🤔

Make sure you are pointing to the ground

[rich roost]

the flor in made out of black marble with red jude carpet i took the carpet off and stil wount let me

ok maybe that is the problem

yep is because of the black marble

[frosty frost]

No problem with black marble nor carpet for me, i can still place it

[rich roost]

the black marble stops me from placing down the boat

i wil poste pictures when i finish

[frosty frost]

It really shouldnt, do you have enough space around?

[sharp nova]

i have seafarer's erbs but no sailor's bounty?

[frosty frost]

Do you have cooked fish and serpent meat?

[sharp nova]

i have never made cooked fish. thanks

[sharp nova]

#screenshots message why did this happen?

[frosty frost]

What happened?

Can you not make that base?

[river pagoda]

does any1 know an safe webside where i can download mods pls dont troll idw get an virus or smth like that
thx

[frosty frost]

Folks in #mods-discussion might be able to help 😄

[river pagoda]

ok thank youuuu

[sharp nova]

i have all the ingredients but no i can't

the craft button is greyed out when it should be alight

[frosty frost]

I bet the two fish you have are not the same level, right? 😄

[sharp nova]

they aren't 🙁

[frosty frost]

Yeah, you need them both to be the exact same for crafting

[sharp nova]

darn

i'm skipping swim potion in favor of sailor's bounty wth

[gritty warren]

Hi guys, i was wondering if my character is saved to cloud, would I be able to launch the same character on a different computer same steam account?

[pseudo niche]

I suppose you should
But I guess you can upload your saves manually to a cloud drive somewhere just in case, so you can just drop them in your different computer

[gritty warren]

It said it was already loud saved, i didn’t do anything beyond that so i hope it works ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

If anything goes wrong i can just make a new character on the second computer and try what i hadn’t to get it back to my main

[fringe mango]

Anyone dealt with Valheim thinking its minimized? every time i try to perform an action with my mouse click, it quickly minimizes and refreshes screen

[agile delta]

where to plant turnips

[frosty frost]

Anywhere pretty much, meadows, black forest...

[jolly patrol]

i like to parry a lot. should i keep the iron buckler until carapace buckler or are there better options in between?

[sterile jay]

There are some shields that you can parry with. The black metal shield and the silver shield are two such options. They are better than the iron buckler

You’ll just get a 1.5 times multiplier when it comes to blocked damage rather than a 2.5 times. And a bit of extra block. I parry with the carapace shield all the time

As for bucklers in particular keep the iron buckler until you get the carapace buckler.

[next ivy]

The multiplier applies the block armor to their attack against you, not your attack against them

[sterile jay]

Oh, I actually didn’t know that. That’s sick, thanks for telling me, fixed it

[next ivy]

So if my carapace buckler shows a yellow 93 block armor, and it gets 2.5 parry bonus, a successful parry can mitigate 2.5 x 93 damage from the attack (including resistances + armor)

Block force is the pushback the enemy receives after a block, hence why some tower shields make mobs "fly" back a bit after blocking

[true steeple]

silver and black metal shield parry better than iron buckler

[sharp nova]

are there any flametal shields

[true steeple]

there’s a normal and tower shield. the normal shield parries worse than carapace buckler

[sharp nova]

is flamemetal tower shield a mistlands or ashlands item

[true steeple]

flametal is from ashlands

[sharp nova]

ok

[sterile jay]

The person specifically asked if there is a better shield to parry with. I brought up that you can parry with the silver shield and the black metal shield.

However, it comes with a different multiplier.

I never said they’re worse at parrying.

I said that if you prefer bucklers an iron buckler would work until you get a carapace buckler

[sterile jay]

Please read the full statement I beg of you

[subtle parrot]

I mean that's fair, but even with the lower parry bonus the silver shield is still overall better than an iron buckler

[sterile jay]

I agree with you I just wanted to cover all bases because sometimes people just prefer bucklers

[subtle parrot]

No worries

[sharp nova]

there's a chart that can answer all our questions

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zuJ2BACwMq-cZXrc7fJOw8hDGp5ROKeBVcf73IzRrlw/

silver shield appears to be more effective at everything it does than iron anything except serpent scale

[fierce venture]

Are there any server administration tools that create logs for every object to see who interacted with what and when?

[hushed sigil]

Not that i know of, but this exists: #mods-discussion message

[slate marten]

Hi, question: Is there some way to make it so me and my friends aren't constantly pushing each other around? Like a way to make it so we can move through each other's hit boxes?

[vapid warren]

Not without mods

What mods would fix that?>

I'm searching on Nexus and finding nothing

Gotcha, thank you

[sharp nova]

sorry

[scenic patio]

Me and my friend has stopped playing valhem in 2024, we came back to the game now in 2026, we keep playing until now we got to the mistlands, but for some fucking reason, the neasrest queen spawn and infested mines are way too long than the usual, we picked the seed of the mal and checked on another map, and for some reason, the infested mine and the queen spawn, was more close to the normal locations it needs to be, im so fucking mad because this happens and we cant just start playing in another seed, is there some reason for this? Like its because we stopped in 2024, the game had a lot of updates and when we came back now in 2026 the map was too old for that os smth? Btw i have a picture of how long the queen spawn are

And sorry for the bad english, its not my language

[hushed sigil]

Was the mistlands there in your world last time or had it not come out yet before you stopped playing?

[scenic patio]

Im pretty sure i have seen the mistlands in 2024

[frosty frost]

If you are playing in older world then yes, it is very likely that POIs will be shifted around due to many updates. If you want to look up the actual map that will be accurate you need to input your worldfiles into the world generator site, using only the seed will not work for older world

[vapid warren]

if the world was generated before mistlands was released mistlands will start further away than if it was generated after mistlands was released

[scenic patio]

So the fader island have this problem too in my map?

[frosty frost]

It will most likely not be where the map viewer says it is if you are just inputing the seed there

[hushed sigil]

In terms of content and map affecting, mistlands was the largest impact on pre-mistlands worlds. We gave up on our one and just started a new one. Stayed away from top and bottom but still with Ashlands we made a new one again. Same map seed but always works best when on new made world.

[scenic patio]

This really making my head hurts, me and my friend was searching the dungeon and queen for the last 2 days and now she is too long

[subtle parrot]

If you didn't explore the ashlands area of your map back then, then it shouldn't be an issue, if you did explore around the area before the ashlands came out then it will likely be messed up. But for future reference, if you find and activate a vegvisir and don't go to the boss location and then the game updates for something, then most likely the boss location will be moved and you will need to go reactivate the vegvisir to get the new location.

[scenic patio]

Theres a problem, in 2024 me and my friend didnt go to where mistlands are now

[vapid warren]

it might not be shorter overall with a fresh world, mistlands covers a large area anyway.

[vapid warren]

doesnt matter, they changed what area mistlands cover if your world was generated before mistlands

starts closer but spread over bigger area

[scenic patio]

We didnt even get out from swamp

[subtle parrot]

Are you using the valheim map viewer to get the locations then?

It may not match up with the in game seed completely

[vapid warren]

the viewer website will only be correct with a fresh world, many location changes have shuffled things

[scenic patio]

I see, thanks a lot for helping

I'll see what to do now for the queen spawn and the dungeons

[scenic patio]

Yeah im using

[tired root]

You can upload map files on the website so it will provide proper locations that are different if you are looking up with only the seed info.

[scenic patio]

I play on xbox, i still can do it?

[tired root]

Ah, that I would tell if I knew about it.

I know it's possible on PC, simply going to the folder and drag world save files on the website.

[wraith adder]

hi guys does monsters attack our proporties like our carts while we are far away from them??

[vapid warren]

Depends on what you mean by far away

If its more than like 300 meters nothing loads and nothing happens

[wraith adder]

so they do attack

but it depends on the distance

[vapid warren]

They attack if theyre close enough to load in

Im not exactly sure what the distance is but its not that far

[jade olive]

From looking at what you said and if I'm understanding it correctly. Your just going to need to travel to the boss period. Mist is the farest biome east and west. The queen will have 3 to 5 locations possable so one may be closer, but not by much. I have a old map befor mist came out so I have a few dead mist locations. But the queen she's pretty far out. There is no normal distance per say just RNG some maps may have a location closer.

[wraith adder]

tysm

[scenic patio]

I already hate that biome and boss

You're just making me hate even more lol

[jade olive]

I'm sorry not much I can do about that. You do know that Ashland and Deep North you got to travel all the way to the top and bottem of the map so you got a lot of sailing to do. I am playing slow and just got to The Ash and your Hate is going to grow leaps and bounds. It is very hard there and will take time to learn like I am but still like the challenge. But best of luck to you.

[hushed sigil]

My queen is located almost at Ashlands

[jade olive]

Mine is pretty close to the Deep North

[jolly tapir]

You know the copper colored spikes along Ashland fortresses and specifically the ones at the top of the center watchtower? Is it possible for me to pickaxe those spikes away? I made it to the top, and when I strike it is is showing "Too hard" but it's also taking 30-40 damage. I really want to use that watchtower

[barren rivet]

i dont think ive ever accidentally damaged spikes and ive launched a lot of catapults in my time. but i have built stairs up to the top floor just build over the spikes

[jade olive]

I've had a Morgan roll across them and everything else. I haven't seen anything do damage to them except for the ram I belive.

[jolly tapir]

what I researched says pickaxes, demolisher, and maybe prousite powder bombs can get rid of them with some dedication, thye have 1500 health

[jade olive]

Ahh ok your correct you can take out the top ones. I would go with the black metal pix ax that would do a more precise job.

[jolly tapir]

Demolisher actually works much faster, and it won't damage anything else, so it's not. a problem. Fully cleared my watchtower roof of spikes lol

[elder cypress]

if i attack a dvergr, will all dvergr be hostile?

[sinful moth]

The ones near you I think

[jolly tapir]

You have three strikes. If you hit them or their stuff more than twice YES they will be permanently hostile to you. But this only goes for the ones you're actively attacking the other groups spread out other places will remain friendly

Once you have some eitr, you can drop it next to their wards. Once the ward is destroyed you can break their crates and they won't care

[pseudo niche]

what is that about etir and their wards?

[jade olive]

New stuff you get in the mistlands. The etir is a product you make to get that new stuff. The ward is the same as ours. It protect them from you building and taking there goods.

[pseudo niche]

but what does it mean to "drop etir next to the wards"?

[hushed sigil]

Depends if you want spoilers or not @pseudo niche

[tired root]

Refined eitr ||emits projectiles that deal lightning and poison damage, which damages the wards but since player is not directly damaging it the dvergr around won't attack the player and once it is destroyed you can loot everything from the area||.

[cloud ridge]

Greetings Vikings! would you be so kind to help mi with how i could best snap some photos of my base to showcase in proper channel? I have seen that some vikings can fly in youtube videos, is there a command for that? or is there better way to do this?

[frosty frost]

You can share your screenshots in #screenshots or #building-screenshots 😄
Or, if you have some mods showing then #mods-screenshots would be best.

As for flying, the best way to do that is enable console in settings, press F5 to open said console, type in devcommands, then debugmode and that lets you fly using Y/Z (depending on your keyboard layout 🙂 ).
Debugmode has also few other key shortcuts which you can look at here https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Debug_mode

[cloud ridge]

thank you for reply 🙂

[vapid warren]

Freefly command(nedds devcommands) instead lets you control your camera separately while your character remains still so you can take pictures without character present

[cloud ridge]

oh nice that would keep my character from view, nice. when i disable console in settings would these be automatically off as well? (the commands i mean)

[vapid warren]

Typing the commands again will disable them

[tired root]

They also get disabled at once when you log out.

[vapid warren]

Is it that or close game?

[tired root]

Log out is enough.

[vapid warren]

Either way yeah

[frosty frost]

Logout disables debugmode but not devcommands iirc 🤔

They will remain as :true

[tired root]

Yeah, they need to be disabled typing devcommands again.

Which can be done in main menu too.

Opening the console and typing devcommands in main menu I mean.

But all the other commands like god, fly, nocost etc gets disabled when logging out.

[cloud ridge]

ok one more question as i can not find it in the link of commands, is there a way to hide the hud for the photo?

[tired root]

Ctrl + F3.

[fresh rapids]

if you play valheim on a laptop how do you get the < sign to make sign commands. Like <color=green> if its an command.

[pseudo niche]

oh yeaaaaaah
that is wicked smart, how long does it typically take until the ward inside their house gets wrecked though?

[tired root]

It might take a while, since the trajectory/direction of the projectiles is random.

Hence dropping several of them one by one might make it quicker job.

[pseudo niche]

is there a way to drop items at my feet, instead of throwing it out where my character is facing? Or throwing something out where my camera is facing, not my char?

[tired root]

Items drop only in direction of character face. Very heavy items will drop on feet.

[loud wadi]

Is it okay to skip the mistlands?

[tired root]

Out of curiosity, why exactly?

[vapid warren]

you're gonna have a bit of a rougher time getting to and staying safely in ashlands

[tired root]

There are materials you need to progress the next biome after.

[loud wadi]

It's just too difficult for me and I hate the mist

[loud wadi]

What materials?

[tired root]

https://giphy.com/gifs/star-trek-benedict-cumberbatch-chris-pine-wLXo0vTZSM7GU

[loud wadi]

What do I need them for?

[tired root]

First of all, there will be 2 new workstations to craft new equipment in them.

Boss drop also is needed to travel safely to the next biome.

[vapid warren]

oh i forgot about the crafting stations lmao, i was just thinking of the stuff from the boss xD

[tired root]

Also cannot access to the boss without getting the materials and crafting stations.

[loud wadi]

oh

So they really wants you to play certain way

[tired root]

Progression is very linear. Also you cannot craft anything with Ashlands materials without those crafting stations from Mistlands materials.

If you managed to get there before defeating Mistlands boss by any chance.

[loud wadi]

how do I get unstuck

is there an option in settings

[vapid warren]

stuck how?

[loud wadi]

I'm stuck between stones and I can't leave

[vapid warren]

you can /die

warning, you will die

[loud wadi]

how will I get my stuff if I die

[marble roost]

It drops where you die you just go back and pick it up

[vapid warren]

you go back and get it? you dont think you can reach your corpse either?

what kind of stones are you stuck between?

[loud wadi]

mistland stones

it's called petrified bones

[vapid warren]

do you not have a blackmetal pickaxe?

[loud wadi]

no

[full mesa]

you crawled into a petrified remain with no bm pickaxe

[loud wadi]

yea

[full mesa]

please tell me atleast you have a regular pickaxe and climbed INTO the jaw

[vapid warren]

log onto a different world, drop all your stuff, log back over to this world type /die

[full mesa]

because just dig the ground

[vapid warren]

go back to other world, pick up your stuff

and then make a blackmetal pickaxe

[full mesa]

not the skull

[loud wadi]

I just died

[full mesa]

They can still escape if they're inside the jaw and n-

nvm

[full mesa]

Most people go with the /die method, if you have even a regular pickaxe and are NOT inside the skull's cranium then you can just dig the ground and escape

backreading:
another warrior has fallen by the hands of the mistlands 😭

I feel the struggle and I do not blame them

[spring gulch]

I can help you chewy

[loud wadi]

Thx Viking! I got them back. I got stuck again but I dug the ground like @full mesa said and got free

Mistland is the worst it actively makes me hate the game.

[marble roost]

Interesting, mistlands is my favorite biome

I usually see people saying Ashlands is the worst and makes the hate the game

[spring gulch]

I was scared of mist and died there a bunch then someone called me a coward in which my response was to full throttle everything about the mist now i pwn it XD

[sterile jay]

Mistlands was the worse, mainly due to the ||Gjall, and the lack of visibility until they are right over you|| everything else is manageable (I had issues because I never used shields prior to mistlands)

Ashlands was a breeze, it rewards careful planning and exploration. Over prepare and you will be fine ||the Drakkar has black metal chest level of storage for a reason, exploit it to land safely, landings are the worse part||

[barren rivet]

its funny ive NEVER had a bad landing, idont understand it. i guess one time a morgen was nearby but otherwise i slap down shield walls and spikes and its ez mode

even my very first landing, hoo boy was i over prepared. all was quiet. then i went out and died 30 times figuring out the biome, but the landing was boring

[sterile jay]

I now think all of the biomes are pretty well made and designed, and it has a nice learning curve

|| meadows teaches about food mechanics, Black Forest teaches about basic healing and stamina meads, swamp and mountains teach about elemental meads (poison frost), and so on||

I dealt with the pre-nerf ashlands landing, ||2 morgens, 3 spawners, ended up building a safe raised ground platform for a port. Only died in ashlands because I went to save someone on their world from 2 valkyries ||

[barren rivet]

i died so many times my first time, mostly because i dodnt know the biome or units. like i thought “cool,
the new resource to harvest let’s pickax-BOOOOM!

but second time zero deaths seemed like i lowered the difficulty

[sterile jay]

Average Ashlands experience xD

[barren rivet]

then theres lava… the lava homing missles that boop you off..

like they just added things to kill you because lol you died reasons

[loud wadi]

how do I get the dwarfs on my side again?

[thorn spire]

You don’t. Gotta just kill them off

[full mesa]

once an enemy remains an enemy (that particular group of dvergrs you attacked, not all lol)

if green health bar = friendly
if red health bar = enemy

"...They have no sense of a jest and the only cure for insulting them is to kill them...."

[winged needle]

I see from The Internet that, while there were a few tools developed to help people edit files to change world names, after a patch a while ago those aren't working anymore. I wasn't able to find a real clear and up-to-date tool or explanation of how people were succeeding at doing that.
I know this isn't exactly Proper Valheim but this is the only place I can think of where people might know the info.

Mistlands is a tough biome, it begs to be traversed slowly... give it more of a chance... ||befriend some Dvergr|| and it can be really funny

[sharp nova]

does rain damage karves?

[sharp nova]

thank you 3 different people for 3 different no'es

[void shard]

my friend and I are first time idiots. we lost our stuff & 3 boats in the swamp. please help us get our stuff back, we are desperately stupid

[quartz cloak]

💡 Build tents if you don’t have a lot of time to build a chealter or a house

[slow widget]

Please do help I am starting to feel Odin's disappoint in me spreading.

[void shard]

our swamp spawned on an island. we can't exactly "build a tent" next to it and wait for everything to despawn

[void shard]

Ya know, the kitchen isn't looking too bad right now. maybe we should've just stayed in the kitchen

if anyone out there can help us, we can pay you in chicken eggs

[clear thicket]

Hey 🙂 just started the game , been 20min in 🙂 Quick question, am I just unlucky or is that normal ? I've spawned in the Meadows, found a small farm nearby, decided to make my 1st home here. First night while chopping some wood, got attacked by a 2 star Greydwarf --' and the next day I've found a stone tower like 500m away, with a skeleton popping outside, circled by a BEAR ...

[inland girder]

2 star greydwarfs arent very common to see so you are definitely unlucky, bears and skeletons are very common in the black forest so just stay out of that biome unless you know what you are doing

[clear thicket]

Im literally 500m away from my pillar circle first spawn ^^ i think I'm surrounded by black forest, sometime i have brown greydwarves that i can 3 shot, and then I have blue ones with glowing eyes (this was the 2 stars) and are much harder

[icy brook]

How'd you get chicken eggs before the swamp

[inland girder]

you dont need to get anywhere near a black forest before you have slain the first forsaken so just try to explore the map and find your way to the boss altar

[tired root]

You could visit ||sealed tower|| but it is quite dangerous with lower tier gear.

[icy brook]

The first boss is very easy btw. With any flint weapon and some ok food(like a boar meat, a deer meat, and raspberries or honey) is good enough for the first boss

[inland girder]

you can always chairglitch

[clear thicket]

Ive logged off for tonight, I'll screen you my map tomorrow you'll understand better i think :/

[icy brook]

Id even do the first boss naked. You don't really need any more armor then you start with

[inland girder]

can never be too prepared in valheim

[inland girder]

well you have more than 20 minutes of experience

[inland girder]

sure

[icy brook]

Yeah but I don't think the experience even makes a difference. The first boss just does very little damage. The leather armor you can make is also so little defense it won't matter much

[clear thicket]

I saw vids ... naked no weapon, only campfires 😂

[icy brook]

So food and a weapon should be enough

[icy brook]

Campfires are actually OP lolol

Oh btw a campfire or torch will scare away greylings and grey dwarfs and boars and other creatures

[clear thicket]

Yeah I saw that, ive saw severals 100 days or more so i got the general view of the game (and i played enshrouded / grounded etc) so its not my first, but its the first time im getting raided that often

[icy brook]

Just holding a torch can be a lifesaver

[clear thicket]

Oh ??? Thanks for that, didnt knew

[agile delta]

whats best weapon to craft from silver

[frosty frost]

Silver sword or frostner 🙂

-# And ofc crystal battleaxe if your goal is to be proper viking 😄

[wraith adder]

hi guys is there a specific condition for trolls to spawn?? cuz i seem to not know and i need a wood cutter guy

[tired root]

Listed very rare as random spawn, can also spawn near the entrance and/or inside troll caves.

[wraith adder]

bruh after i texted that i got two trolls

ty for the help tho

[tired root]

Writing anything on Discord server will help with whatever you are looking for.

[jade olive]

Has the mini events been changed of late. I got the the chills event and took out the main guy out of the circle. And when I went back in to finish off the adds I got the boss back? I have do so many of these events and every time I kill the bosses I have never got a second just usually kill off the minions. Kinda weird.

[tired root]

The minibosses can respawn again if killed during their raids.

[jade olive]

Wow really I have never had that happen befor ever thats the first time.

[tired root]

Returning the chests will unlock the raids, so they might trigger.

[jade olive]

Yeah but I have done that a long time ago, but never had the boss come back. Even killing a boss out first and having the event finish one has never return. I'm thinking maybe because I took him out side the circle a bit it some how popped him back in?

[tired root]

The event triggering will always be random from the list of possible ones, so RNG.

[jade olive]

So are you saying it just a random chance I got a second boss during the same event?

[tired root]

Ah, misunderstood. But yeah, there can appear another miniboss during the same event if it was killed already.

[jade olive]

Humm ok I guess theres a first time for everything thank you

[clear thicket]

Erf we can't send screenshots here 😅

[subtle parrot]

#screenshots you can link them from here, the mods had to turn off images in this channel because of bots

It's neither bug nor nerf, it's how they always work, even the dual axes from the ashlands work that way

[clear thicket]

Oh ok, np, just wanted to show how close I was to the spawn when i've been assaulted by a 2 star greydwarf ^^

[plain bloom]

seems like the double hit before maybe im imaging that but could have swore the did

maybe it was a beta thing they fixed idk

[subtle parrot]

It's possible if you weren't too close to the log it triggered the combo move

[plain bloom]

well thats a dumb mechanic two axes and only one works makes sense...

its not even listed in the wiki that way.

[clear thicket]

The bow is kinda hard to get used to at the beginning :/

[clear thicket]

What are these red big runes for ? Tutorial tips ?

[proud oak]

They also give lore and sometimes act as spawn points for certain entities.

Also yeah bow is kinda tough. The arrows pull left and have a LOT of shot drop

[clear thicket]

Is it specified if it's a spawn pillar ?

[proud oak]

No

But certain ones will always be spawn locations. For instance the one that gives the lore tip about boars

[clear thicket]

Ok thanks 🙂

[clear thicket]

Is that normal that sometimes when I wanna flatten the ground, there are some more elevated spots that I can't flatten anymore ?

[sinful moth]

Yes sometimes you need to use the pickaxe

[hushed sigil]

Yup you can only go so far with flatten. You’ll need to hit them once with a pickaxe or raise ground to fill in the little spots around the place.

[clear thicket]

Hmm... it's my day 3 so ^^ i'll find another spot, thanks

[jolly tapir]

I got so used to automatically adjusting to the dip in bows I suck at using my crossbow bc I never hit anything with them since I still give it room to dip 😂 I like the style of bows it makes sense

[clear thicket]

How do you choose which item you're repairing ? It always "pick" randomly ... kinda annoying and wasting ressources

[sinful moth]

Repairing is free, doesn't use ressources

[clear thicket]

oh !

so used to other games 😅

[hushed sigil]

It’s fine when I first started I didn’t understand how repairing worked either and kept making new tools when they broke.

[clear thicket]

I did that 3 or 4 times before clicking by mistake on the hammer icon x)

[marble roost]

Once you make better bows the aiming gets a lot better

Crude bow feels terrible

[clear thicket]

Good to know 🙂

[frosty frost]

From third bow onward there is pretty much no inaccuracy when fully drawn, just the drop of has to be considered 😄

[clear thicket]

Less drop ? or same ?

and what to with trophies ? I know deer ones are needed to summon boss, but the boars one ? :/

[inland girder]

trophies have many different uses

[marble roost]

Most trophies are just decorations you can put on your walls later, but a good amount of them are also used in crafting recipes for weapons and such

Boar doesnt do anything but look pretty

[clear thicket]

Oh so I can free an inv spot ^^ ty

[tired root]

There will be item stands in near future where you can put trophies on display.
Some trophies will have some uses in crafting tho, but not all.

[clear thicket]

Ok ok 🙂 just downed the dear so i'll be able to make a pickaxe^^

[clear thicket]

F... bear just gave me a heart attack by sneaking behind me while I was talking to the crow next to my 1st burial chamber 😂

[hushed sigil]

He was only trying to help you into your own burial chamber.

[jade olive]

The crossbow has a much smaller arc, just a small dip down at long distance. So say you aim for the head you will hit the chin. So it is a straight-ish shot but is dose not go as far as the bow. Keep working at it and you will get better.

[clear thicket]

So nice of him 😆

Question about copper / tin , do the name of the ressource appear ? or is it just visual between normal rock and these ?

[hushed sigil]

Appear when hover over it. Look right on the shoreline

[clear thicket]

Ok thx, then i only found rocks x))

[hushed sigil]

Yeah I tried hitting rocks wondering if tin chanced out of them for a bit until I actually found it, but I didn’t find it near any meadows.

[clear thicket]

Casually walking back home, got stomped by a bear, 10hp left, and a 1star shaman joining the fun x))

I'm so unlucky

[pseudo niche]

this game is so hard 😭

[clear thicket]

The dodge action is so unnatural ...

[hushed sigil]

If I can encourage you, the game is actually trying to kill you. Don’t think you are unlucky, it’s more about trying to survive.

[clear thicket]

Wish there was only 1 button press to roll and not block jump ...

[hushed sigil]

There is a mod for the game to fix that, but the normal game is frustrating with how dodge works yes

[clear thicket]

I may check this out yeah ...
Any way to destroy items in stead of throwin them away ?

[vapid warren]

iron age yes

[inland girder]

you can also crouch jump

[clear thicket]

That's even worse 😅 have to use my pinky to crouch while blocking is right click

[inland girder]

there is this short blue fella that will sell you something with the power of thor in it

[inland girder]

yeah, still an option tho 😄

[vapid warren]

I'm so used to the block dodge thing its no problem for me

[clear thicket]

Yeah ^^ thx for the info , but I'm nearly 100% sure I'll never use it that way 😆

[clear thicket]

Coming from Enshrouded / Grounded etc so not used to have to use 2 actions to do a dodge 😅

[inland girder]

but items that are outside player base zones or below 2 meters of water will despawn in a few days

[hushed sigil]

Funnily enough, I learned to play without dodge because of how annoying it is, still don’t use it, just block strikes and attack straight away instead, or jump to avoid, which is why I play in light armour only for speed.

[inland girder]

so the "trashcan" isnt the only way, just faster

[inland girder]

lol i learned to dodge everything to the point im taking my first trolls down with a flint knife instead of a bow

[clear thicket]

Not sure I can block a Troll or a Bear x)

[inland girder]

but trolls are the easier enemies to dodge tbh

[inland girder]

its all about your armor and shield, in the mid-late game you can block and parry a troll with your fists lol

[hushed sigil]

I always make the best round shield I can and go from there

[clear thicket]

2 troll + a cave + 3 bears in a 1min walk radius ...

starting to get crouded in these woods ^^

"Rancid Remains" , what's that skeletton please ? Camping right on a spawner

[inland girder]

its a bit rarer, stronger skeleton skeleton variant

it has a really rare trophy that i would def keep if i got it

and it inflicts poison

[clear thicket]

behind a door, camping a spawner that spawned a 1 star with him 🥲

(PS : i died)

[inland girder]

ouch

you could try building a campfire below their feet to set them on fire

[clear thicket]

the door didn't hold em x))

[inland girder]

or craft the stag breaker

[vapid warren]

stagbreaker is really good in burial grounds yeah

[inland girder]

yea

[clear thicket]

I do have it lv 2 , but i'm not fan since no shield to block x)

(wasn't having it on me atm sadly)

[vapid warren]

you can attack them through doors, etc with it

and they take extra blunt damage

[inland girder]

2 handed weapons are usually better at blocking than 1 handed weapons

to balance out the absence of shield

but yeah its more of a spam slam behind a wall

[clear thicket]

how do you do AFTER the door broke ? :3

[vapid warren]

i just meant as an example

anyway they got good aoe, knockback, effective damage type, can stun them

[inland girder]

you can block the doorway with a cooking station

[clear thicket]

Yeah and i'm now on the case where there is no more door x)

you can build this inside a dung ?

[inland girder]

some items can be built

[vapid warren]

you cant build workbenches

but you can build certain things that dont require workbenches

[clear thicket]

Yeah I've found that, wanted to repair some items, I always make a campfire at the entrance (to find my way back)

[inland girder]

found copper and tin yet?

bronze mace is the best black forest weapon against skeletons

and is great early to the biome after black forest

[clear thicket]

Still not

Had 5 red cube with THIS chamber to build a kiln but have to gather it back first ^^p

No trophy from the Remains sadly 🙁 but 7 cubes at least

[inland girder]

dw you will find another one eventually, 7 cubes is enough to get you started on smelting if you alternate between charcoal kiln and smelter

[clear thicket]

Hp regen only is via food buffs ? No consumable to regain your life like bandages or ?

[subtle parrot]

There are healing meads

If you've made it to the black forest you should be able to make the lowest level healing mead and a couple other meads

[clear thicket]

Oh ? but I still don't have other crafting station except workbench and cooking station

[vapid warren]

you need to get metal

[clear thicket]

oh

[subtle parrot]

Find copper, they look like big green mossy boulders with copper colored veins
And tin, it looks like shiny rocks along the shore of streams and the oceans in the black forest biomes

[clear thicket]

Finally found a copper node ... guarded by a troll 🥲
Should I mark it on my map ? or nodes don't respawn?

[vapid warren]

they dont despawn

but troll can also help you break them

[inland girder]

if you are able to dodge his blows that is

is it a log or a rock troll

rock trolls are weaker but throw rocks, while log trolls are stronger but limited to melee only

rock trolls are maybe a bit easier to dodge imo

[clear thicket]

Rock troll, with a 1 star shaman, while fleein them, what's cutting my path ? oh a brute !

[inland girder]

hate it when shamans heal trolls

[clear thicket]

couldn't finish the shaman before the troll came back ^^ but it's ok , i've build a small shelter nearby (in case of death) and finally downed the troll 😄 and started the copper node ... I've saw a bear RIGHT NEXT TO IT WHERE THE TROLL WAS STANDING T_T

[hushed sigil]

The tension… is unbearable

[clear thicket]

I hate you for this one ...

[hushed sigil]

Bear with me, they get worse.

Be careful in the Black Forest, you can lose your bearings.

Then you get clobeared.

[clear thicket]

Omg ... You let you out ? x)

[hushed sigil]

The unbearable Troll King refused to forbear his attacks, bearing down on our settlement with overbearing ferocity, his bizarre enchanted beard swinging wildly as he bared his fangs, and we had to bear witness to him destroying our fortifications while completely losing our bearings in the Black Forest.

[clear thicket]

He won the 1st round, he's mid life though

Bear is dead ! 😄

[toxic pulsar]

guys im about to get into the mistlands ,kinda scared specially if i die in it im cooked tho if there any tips that would help me tackle the mistlands

[vapid warren]

Like with all new biomes make portals on the outskirts or nearby so you can get back easily

Have you made the wisplight?

[toxic pulsar]

i did that but should i also bring another portal when venturing inside for extra safety ?

[toxic pulsar]

yess i do have it on me

[vapid warren]

Very smart to do

[sinful moth]

maybe make a 2nd one so if you die you don't have to get your stuff back without it

[toxic pulsar]

okk thxx i will make another one and bring it with me

[vapid warren]

Bring extra wisps(not the equippable item) and chop down some of the trees and you can put down wisp torches

[toxic pulsar]

ohhh i did not think about making second one thats smart , thx a loot

[vapid warren]

I always have a portal in my inventory anbæd an unnamed poryal at home so i can do a quick getaway

[toxic pulsar]

ohhh i seee, the wisp torchh ok i will do that , do they have limit for there light?

[toxic pulsar]

thx i will do exactly this bcs im scared of the mistlands , i need extra safety hahah

if i see any stars monsters im running haha

[drowsy crane]

No you can place unlimited torches

[spring gulch]

Then wear fenris and fight nothing just bolt

Until u find what you want you can portal and put on heavy gear

[toxic pulsar]

ok thxx for the info

[drowsy crane]

NP, if you want to harvest mass wisps, the Swamps will allow for wisps to spawn even during the day.

[toxic pulsar]

great ideaa only when i find a somewhat safe place i change to heavy armor

[toxic pulsar]

i seee thats good i will do that thxx, i do need alot of wisps

[vapid warren]

I mean youre probably gonna die, but best to make it less painful when you do

[toxic pulsar]

one thing tho is fully upgraded frostner the best weapon to have

[vapid warren]

Thats a pretty good one

If you hear trumpets, pop a fire resistance

[toxic pulsar]

damn yeah ur right , i mean i heard its harsher then any prev biom im def dying

[toxic pulsar]

alright bcs i was gonna make black metal sword but i will stick with frostner

[vapid warren]

Yeah its similar to first time going into swamp

[drowsy crane]

New biome growing pains are tricky, Mistlands might've been the biome I died the most in 😂

[toxic pulsar]

i see i will have fire resistense and medium heal potion too

[vapid warren]

Oh if youre sailing from home, you would want to bring some blackmetal

10-15 pieces

Youll need it for resources gathering

Though if theres plains nearby, you can find iron in mistlands to make a blast futnace to smelt blackmetal

[vapid warren]

Mistlands or ashlands, probably ashlands

[toxic pulsar]

i seee i will do that , fortunatly i did sail and i have a portal in the black forest right by the border of mistlands so i have quick accesss to mistlands

[toxic pulsar]

thats great ,thx for the infoo

[clear thicket]

Question about tin : is it supposed that nodes are tiny compared to copper ? Or is it just that I found a micro node ?

[vapid warren]

Theyre all small like that and near water level

[clear thicket]

Oh cool 😄 found a copper node + a tin node next to each other 😄

[tired root]

There will be more tin when you follow the shore line.

[clear thicket]

Tiny tiny like only 3 ores on that spot and that's all ??

[vapid warren]

Yeah but you need less and theyre quick and plentiful

[clear thicket]

ok thx

[thorn spire]

3-5 usually.

[clear thicket]

What's better ? bear paws or early axes ?

Since both are slash damage

[frosty frost]

Both are awesome, just get the one that suits your playstyle better 🙂

[clear thicket]

So let's do both and test out ^^ thanks

[barren rivet]

better is subjective and situational. bear paws have very good parry for early game, early axes can hardly parry anything but do unmatched damage if you can swing the full combo

claws are way more nimble too, just a quick one two combo, just safer in general. dual axes have a charming clunk to them you have to learn and get used to

[tired root]

Early axes have 6 hits in its primary combo, last 2 hits deal double damage, so its dps potential is higher, but the blocking/parrying ability is much lower. Secondary attack is leap forward swipe which deals 1,5x damage.
Bear claws has 2 hits in its primary combo, each 2nd attack deals double damage and it has higher parry ability. Secondary kick deals same damage but has high stagger multiplier, which can be used as opener against some bigger mobs.

[clear thicket]

Very detailed thanks for that 🙂

sorry for all the newbie questions, i'm discovering :3

[barren rivet]

ultimately both are good try both, and/or just use both, dont need to use only one. i like claws for dungeons and star brutes, dual axes for most everything else

[clear thicket]

Currently i've got 9 hives, you think it's enough or should I look out for more ?

[barren rivet]

thats puhlennnty.

[frosty frost]

For single more than enough 😄

[clear thicket]

Meh, I found as much hives as I found bears x)

or 2 stars pwning me 😂

[tired root]

That is decent amount of beehives.

Collect the honey regularly and you have more than enough.

[clear thicket]

😱 soo much bronze needed ...

why do I feel that iron age is even worth in term of quantity ? 😂

[barren rivet]

its not necessarily worse at first, theres just lots of SURPRISE you need MORE iron in later biomes

[clear thicket]

Always more T_T

[sharp nova]

good timings

if valheim autosaves every half hour, how often does it autobackup?

[vapid warren]

The backups are the last few saves

[pseudo niche]

how do I access or load the autosaves?

[frosty frost]

In the game menu, before you even go start your world you have button labeled "manage saves"

[loud wadi]

Does the Red Seeker deal fire dmg?

[frosty frost]

Nope, mut it does a LOT of the same smg as normal 0 star seeker 😄

[loud wadi]

Smg?

[frosty frost]

dmg* sorry xD

[loud wadi]

Why can't I block or perry their attack?

[frosty frost]

Because you have good enough food, shield and block level for it

[tired root]

Submachine gun.

[loud wadi]

huh? I'm confused

[frosty frost]

Or did you mean to write can't?

[loud wadi]

Can't yeah, sorry. lol

[frosty frost]

Ah, then because you don't have good enough food, shield and block level for it xD

[loud wadi]

but I have 160+ hp and my shield is level 3

[frosty frost]

What shield?

[loud wadi]

Black Metal shield

[frosty frost]

Yeah, 2 star seeker is just too much i am afraid

they simply do too much dmg for you to parry with that

[barren rivet]

consult the holy spreadsheet!

[frosty frost]

-# Was just about to mention it 😄

[loud wadi]

spreadsheet?

[frosty frost]

#valheim-chat message
Labeled blocking breakpoints at the bottom of this message 😄

[sharp nova]

valheim saves much more often than it backs up those saves

[barren rivet]

according to the holy spreadsheet, with lvl 3 blackmetal shield, 20 block skill, youd need 147, 243, or 169 max hp to parry a 2 star seeker depending on which attack

to block them instead you need “lol nope”

its complicated but very useful, click the 2nd tab called “health thresholds” and input the info you want

[loud wadi]

yeah my block skill is low af

The amount of times I died in the mistlands wiped almost most of my skills

[clear thicket]

1 burial, 2 ghosts, 2 spawners, 10 cores ... Is that the "normal" type or ?

[rigid sail]

Hi eveyone, quick question. I got a new high end pc and got to the ashlands. Is it normal I have micro freeze every few seconds? I never had that on any other biomes and the games runs very well. Is there a fix to that or to reduce it because lowering graphic settings does not seem to solve the problem.

[frosty frost]

I would say lucky one 😄

[frosty frost]

^^

[finite goblet]

i have that problem but everywhere. its especially bad in ashlands

[frosty frost]

Ashlands really do have a LOT of things happening at once, so stutters are much more likely and noticeable there

[finite goblet]

ashlands also has an insane amount of particle effects

[pseudo niche]

I prefer to stay at ashlands to at my base tho
It lags so badly yet there weren't even that many stuff there 😭 (maybe)

[barren rivet]

i have a slightly aged medium/high computer i don't really have it anywhere near every few seconds if ever, do you have other things happening on your cpu? i run youtube and discord and what not while i play on max graphics and its fine

[rigid sail]

nothing special tbh. I also looked on reddit to see if other people had the same problem and apparently it's pretty common.

[pseudo niche]

#screenshots message
So I loaded a past save with my friends. I lack experience in any aspect of the game sadly, I just want to ask how this tower here is floating without any foundation? It is the tower in the middle of a charred fortress

[tired root]

Certain pieces will keep it on float.

The corner pieces on top of the tower at least.

[pseudo niche]

how practical and early is it to build floaty stuff?
Like I dunno, maybe bridges over oceans

[thorn spire]

the structural support system precludes large scale floating structures like that. The bottom of the ocean is too far away to build supports.

[hushed sigil]

The base for the elder does this also. They potentially had problems where some of them spawned in Ashlands and broke so allowed them to live forever off the ground.

[lilac trout]

best way to farm feathers?

[willow raft]

Chickens eventually, else shoot the birds.

[lilac trout]

damn gotta raise some chickens then

[willow raft]

There are a couple of good auto chicken farm builds out there.

[lilac trout]

I'll have to look those up after I buy the chicken egg from Haldor for his extortionate 1500g

oh wait excuse me, 3000g because I need 2

[pseudo niche]

I lucked out with some chicken eggs in a sealed tower
Might be more troublesome than getting the coins though 😭

[finite goblet]

The price of chickens is quite silly

Especiallu considering how they arent as useful as they should be for the price

For that price they should be mandatory ino. Instead they are a source of feathers and a more expensive alternative to the cooked meat platter

[vapid warren]

You only have to buy 2 of them

And that amount of coins at that stage should be pocket change

[finite goblet]

I stand by my statement

[stoic trench]

Can always get them from another source 👀

[tired root]

Those eggs are not paid by money - they're paid by blood.

[lilac trout]

what's the best backup weapon for a magic build?

[subtle parrot]

Mistwalker is a solid weapon

[upper flax]

krom

[lilac trout]

krom does look pretty badass I won't lie

[subtle parrot]

Personally I'm not a fan of 2h swords, they're too slow imo

[finite goblet]

They are too slow

[barren rivet]

depends if you want to stagger and knock away things with a club til your magic recharges, or if you want to slay things while your magic recharges with any other option.

[barren rivet]

too slow for what? you can parry thrust anything in ashlands with slayer

[subtle parrot]

They're just too slow in general, that's all I'm saying

[barren rivet]

i like higher damage so that first hit is more likely to stagger or kill the thing🤷‍♂️

[lilac trout]

I'm leaning slay things while my magic recharges

[barren rivet]

actually out of curiosity i just went to wiki and math’d, just comparing rank 1 slayer and nidhogg it’s a difference of 50 vs 54 dps so they’re close for attack speed and damage.

[subtle parrot]

Sorry, I'll try to be more clear, they just feel slow and i don't like that personally

[barren rivet]

well if your blood magic is high why not use lightning axes and faceroll things their damage is nuts

[barren rivet]

valid, feelings matter. i like 2 hand cuz they feel big and powerful, but feeling ninja is cool too

[lilac trout]

I don't think I have the lightning axes yet I'm still in the mistlands

[barren rivet]

oh lol. then mistwalker i guess. its just an op weapon.

[spring gulch]

Is a copper knife and bronze buckler good enough for mistlands if my blocking is 100

[jade olive]

Not the best things to use, but I assume its possible. May I ask why?

[spring gulch]

To showcase the power of my build

AI Overview +2 Yes, you can parry a normal Seeker in Valheim with a max-upgraded Bronze Buckler and 100 blocking skill, but it is high-risk due to the low base block power. The 2.5x parry bonus with max skill helps significantly, but you will still take damage if not using high-tier HP food, and it cannot block 1 or 2-star

Bronze op plz nerf

[next ivy]

I think you'll get the pincer attack, but the claw attack might be unparry-able

[spring gulch]

Bronze probably not op enough to do mist with swagger then, scheming ensues

[jade olive]

Well not only that but its also a numbers game at times. So your going to have to watch out best ya can so good luck.

[hushed sigil]

When would you have blocking skill 100 in bronze tier tho

[next ivy]

sweet thank you!

[lilac trout]

got some of my items deleted in a glitch, what are the item spawn commands?

or where can I find them?

[thorn spire]

you'll need to use dev commands. The wiki has an article about the developer console and each item page has the internal ID for spawning the item via devcommands.

[lilac trout]

Yup I found it thank you

[pallid steeple]

It is hard to tell from the image but It looks like the roof panel's where the weathering is happening are snapped to the wrong place, snapping to the core wood instead of the wall. try removing them and re attaching.

[halcyon moss]

how do i perform most biome skip in this game

[tired root]

Which biomes you are specifically trying to skip?

[halcyon moss]

ashland
i want to try it naked

[spring gulch]

blocked

[halcyon moss]

what?

[finite goblet]

Most likely means they blocked you. Given their past history with blocking people, this does not surprise me

[halcyon moss]

i have not done anythig to said individual

but eh not's like i know the person
also it feels out of nowere

[jolly tapir]

How do you uh skip the final biome?

[halcyon moss]

do you need to tho?

[finite goblet]

Just because you havent given a reason doesnt mean they cant fantasize a reason

[jolly tapir]

Beautiful Viking is her own kind of personality 😅

Don't be offended

[halcyon moss]

i guess but let's go back to the game please

[jolly tapir]

I mean why would you skip it?

[halcyon moss]

i don't think a final boss need to be skip for now

[jolly tapir]

I'm not understanding. Didn't you say YOU wanted to skip the Ashlands?

[halcyon moss]

oh i mean i want to get there

by skipping sea that led to it

[jolly tapir]

......I'm so confused

You can't get there other than by water

[vapid warren]

you're gonna struggle without the ship you get after queen

[halcyon moss]

i;ve seen people try it before using the feathered cape

[true steeple]

you can sail to one of the rocks and make bridges

[finite goblet]

I mean you can use the hoe i guess

[tired root]

It's not impossible, but it's hard and requires lots of planning.

[vapid warren]

how you gonna make the featehr cape without mistlands?

[true steeple]

holding a torch to keep voltures away is very helpful too

[jolly tapir]

And how do you plan on surviving without mistlands armor or food 😂

[halcyon moss]

that's the question-answer im looking for

[jolly tapir]

The ashlands is no walk in the park

[vapid warren]

so you are planning to skip every biome from black forest to mistlands, just to go into ashlands?

[halcyon moss]

i know you can do it, but i don't know if you should

[finite goblet]

Well it is a walk in a park. Its an open space with plant life. Also hellfire, skeletons, demons, and ash rain

[halcyon moss]

the hardest part is to survive until you setup a portal

[halcyon moss]

pretty wierd for a bird that lived in a burning place

[hushed sigil]

Put a fire underneath them and most of them do funny things yet are happy to walk around lava yeah

[timid narwhal]

what do i have to type in the console to know every recipe...?

i resetknownitems before and now i want to return on my previous map and want to know every recipe i dont want to do it manually

[true steeple]

you can use setkey AllRecipesUnlocked and setkey AllPiecesUnlocked to unlock all recipes and pieces, but these keys are saved on the world instead of the character so you'll lose the recipes in other worlds unless you have collected the ingredients

[sharp nova]

i think the latter 3 words is why she blocked you

[halcyon moss]

sorry i got notification jumpscared

i think that's fair

[full mesa]

naked is ok but the "raw" was just unnecessary

[halcyon moss]

yeah that's was on me

[pseudo niche]

raw and wiggling

[pine fjord]

raw means not cooked, which is hard to do in ashlands

[full mesa]

I wouldn't test your luck knowing a mod is currently active

[halcyon moss]

also hello the color black

how do i get rocky
i want it on my desk

[sharp nova]

i got lucky and found him by accident

[halcyon moss]

so it's an easter egg item 😔

[sharp nova]

there are dedicated structures with a few rocky stones you can look for

[crisp pawn]

will dvergr get mad at me if i start mining the skull in their excavation site after their ward is gone?

[tired root]

If the ward is gone, everything is lootable.

They consider it as "their own" if the ward is there and will be angered if you try to mine the skull.

[crisp pawn]

okay

[inland girder]

you can find rocks from midrange blackforests hidden amongst the foliage or an even rarer rock structure with tons of rocks

[pseudo niche]

what does do

[tired root]

He rocks.

[sharp nova]

can i do anything to make Rocky happier?

[pseudo niche]

rocky can change expressions?? That's spooky

[urban quest]

is there a way to change my characters name

[clear thicket]

Are raids that often with normal settings ? Did some change / building in my base for 3 in game days, got raided twice --'

[vapid warren]

20% chance every 46 minutes iirc

[clear thicket]

Oh ...

[tired root]

Most of them except one require also at least 3 base items nearby, plus they all have different requirements when they can trigger: biome, state of the game (aka certain bosses killed), certain enemy killed in world etc.

[clear thicket]

Ok ok
About bosses, when you find a stone that show you the altar to spawn a boss, is there only 1 summoning spot ? Or maybe another less far / on the other side ?

[vapid warren]

Every boss has at least 3 locations they can spawn, but the vegvisir will always show the closest one

[clear thicket]

Ok thank you 🙂

[clear thicket]

Spotted a copper node in black forest, decided to put a portal next to it so I can farm freely. Found a small cabin ruin not far, build a portal, put a door , exit the door and what is it ? another node touching the corner of the cabin 😂

[sharp nova]

how viable is it to eikthyr buff fins of destiny fire resist mead and swim from southern tips to ashlands?

[thorn spire]

I don't think it will work. AFAIK heat damage and fire damage are two different things. The water, lava, etc. does heat damage and can only be resisted through ||flametal armor||.

[marble roost]

^

You can swim the distance just fine but you’ll be cooked to a crisp far before you arrive

[clear thicket]

Shouldn't I be supposed to get seeds again when harvesting carrots ?

[tired root]

You plant carrots to grow seed-carrots, which provides 3 seeds.

[clear thicket]

Hmm, I do plant carrots, but I get carrots and no seeds 🤔

Ok !! I see now

[tired root]

Seeds for carrots, carrots for seeds.

Seed-carrots are the same white flowers you find around black forest.

[clear thicket]

Thx 🙂

[clear thicket]

Can someone explain to me some stats on 2 pieces, shields.
I currently have a wooden shield +3 : Block armor 18(19) - Block Force 30 - Parry bonus 1,5 x
If I look on the Bronze Buckler, here are its stats : Block armor 16(17) - Block Force 30 - Parry bonus 2,5 x
Except the +1 on the parry bonus, how is the bronze better than my wooden shield ?

[tired root]

When you parry the multiplier is added to the block armor, which blocks more damage in total. For bucklers the multiplier for parrying is 2,5x and for normal shields it's 1,5x.

The yellow block number inside () is your effective block armor based on your blocking skill.

[clear thicket]

So, is it worth using ALL my actual bronze to craft it ? or go with the mace for now and later the buckler ? (already got axe / pickaxe)

[tired root]

It's up to you. Bronze buckler alone is very big up for defences.

[livid mortar]

Also of note, you're comparing a +3 round shield (round shields are general purpose shields) to a level 1 buckler (which aren't as good for regular blocking, but have great parry values).

[sharp nova]

how hard is it to get 5 hare hide without the yagluth buff?

looking to make krom early

[clear thicket]

@tired root @livid mortar thx for the explanation, didn't knew there was a different shield type between these two

[willow raft]

Not too hard, skirt around mistlands and xbow or bow some, you can also build a spike trap and kill them that way

[finite goblet]

Stupid question, why do you need yagluth buff to kill hares?

[inland girder]

was wondering the same

wouldnt eikthyr or moder be better

[vapid warren]

Maybe theyre thinking of wisplight thats from yag?

[sharp nova]

for the wisplight yeah

i've never mistlanything afaiaa so i didnt know

[inland girder]

right

well if you open the map

[finite goblet]

Ngl if yags power gave a big wisplight thatd be cool

[inland girder]

the blacker the mistland is colored on the map, the less mist it has

[finite goblet]

Would make it a lot more useful for sure

[hushed sigil]

Lots of places don’t have mist

[sharp nova]

seems like i have yet to find any mistland at all ×u×

[finite goblet]

I generally look for flat places to hunt rabbits

Fireball staff makes it easy, as do bile bombs

[inland girder]

oh well have you explored far enough from the center?

[sharp nova]

i've gone rather far but i guess not far enough

[vapid warren]

I think you need to go like halfway toward the edge at least

[inland girder]

yeah

there are more mistlands in east and west but they are the majoring biome after the halfwaypoint

[willow raft]

You do need yagluth for that so if you want to get it before yagluth kill then that isn't viable really.

[spring gulch]

The next biomes are further away from ur spawn point so you have to journey further from home.

[jade olive]

I need to up my Sap production, but I have an issue. I have made a walk way system connecting several roots together high above the water. 2 of the root are taped and fine the the other 2 I haven't yet due to an oddity. One root not in this system I lost 2 extractors and found no reason why. One in my network I keep losing wisp torches on part of it. No creatures can reach it so don't know why it happening. So is it possable I can put a sap extractor down and put a floor piece under it? Could that stop Sap extraction? I just want to protect it and not lose more of the poles becouse they fall off in the water. I would appreate any ideas or help.

[vapid fern]

I recently started having massive RAM usage issues with valheim, after some security updates on windows 11. like, 1.5 gigs of ram used for vanilla valheim. Windows 11, has anyone else on windows 11 seen this? or perhaps a fix? i'm sorry if this ins't the right channel, i don't think it's a bug with steam.

[thorn spire]

You'll probably find better answers in one of the bugs channels. If you're playing on Steam, I'd suggest trying #steam-bugs-discussion

[vapid fern]

okay. should i delete my msg here then?

[thorn spire]

no need, I think

[tropic panther]

Are fist weapons good? I have the frost hammer from the moutains rn maxed, and im progressing through the plains

[barren rivet]

they have very good stagger on their secondary attack, and also high backstab damage. your club also has about the same stagger on its secondary tho. also the highest tier fist weapons that exist currently is plains, so no upgrades after that. worth making and trying if you get the mats.

[marble roost]

theyre really good

[jolly tapir]

FADER IS SO HARD O_O

[hushed sigil]

I found that pretty much everything in Mistlands wants to destroy your sap extractors and so you need to find ways to keep them safe. I would sometimes find where I had setup 6 workbenches and fires and portals etc all destroyed along with extractors because who knows what just went to town.

[drowsy crane]

I haven't had a single sap extractor destroyed, they're just in the open, and have had many enemies around them.

[compact heath]

imho he easier than Queen, he even kills his own adds if you play it smart

[drowsy crane]

I am not sure that's the case.

[compact heath]

I normally use Hybrid Setup with staff of protection, green axes, staff of the wild and thats all I need (HSE or feast food, flametal armour etc)

[jolly tapir]

Anyway we did it O_O We got him to 50% in one minute, but then three of us inluding me died nonstop from that point out. Our fourth stayed alive and managed to grind him down with the other mage on our team whist we helped as we could lol

[jolly tapir]

That's so wrong lol. The aoe spikes are impossible. I have 142 armor and like 300 health, fire res and all and I repeatedly died multiple times within seconds before i could even get close

[compact heath]

I also watched a video of someone speedrunning killing him on hardcore (1 life) and he got him, its not super hard to avoid, you can also see well unlike the queen where the mist either doesnt get dispelled fast enough, or mistlights die to seekers if you preplace them so you're blind sometimes, quite a few people agree that queen is harder

you can also cheese Fader with tames, not possible with the queen at all as she is instanced

you can learn when the spikes come out etc as well and look up to avoid meteors etc, I think all the bosses are great and fun in Valheim

[jolly tapir]

If you say so but I never died once during the Queen fight lol

[compact heath]

with a bit of practice I believe you will also survive the Fader fight better in the future

[urban quest]

hello! so after a while me and my friend have progressed a good amount into the ashlands, we've conquered our first island and cleared all 3 forts, but the 3rd fort didnt have any gems....and the other 2 only had 1 gem each, ive read that each world seed only has 20 forts, so could we just be completely screwed when it comes to the weapons we want to craft and max upgrade?

is it entirely up to rng

or is there a guranteed way to find the gem we need

because we've only gotten 1 blood and 1 jade

[inland girder]

the amount of gems is far too little especially in multiplayer, so if you find yourself in a situation where you dont have enough gems, just take the gems from devcommands

[inland girder]

but it is pretty much guaranteed to get atleast one of each gem

whether one gem is enough or not is a different question

[urban quest]

would really prefer not to cheat

we've gone the whole way not cheating, so ya know

[inland girder]

well then you should hope they add more gems to deepnorth

or just use the default variants without any gems

thats an option too

[urban quest]

true

[inland girder]

remember that cheating is only cheating because you think its cheating, there are no rules unless you make them for yourself, i know people dont want to use devcommands and i dont like using them either but im starting to think i have to if my friend and i want the weapons we like

but i guess im going to make myself a challenge first that we need to conquer and explore all of ashlands before taking the gems

that way its atleast justified

[urban quest]

i like that idea yeah, do all the forts, if still not enough, then spawn in

[inland girder]

just remember that its your choice and nobody will judge you for it

[hushed garden]

It IS cheating, whether you can live with it is entirely your choice. And yes, nobody is going to judge you for it, only yourself. And one can be their own harshest critic.

[ivory lotus]

play the way that YOU enjoy

[manic gyro]

You'll be fine with just 2 people (unless you both want to craft every single weapon). You can only upgrade them to lvl 2 and with the possibility to upgrade them further (deep north presumably), hopefully there will be new gem sources.

[inland girder]

oh they better make all the deepnorth weapons able to be crafted to level 4

[vapid warren]

If they dont then ashlands weapons will be viable and itll come down to preference(and durability)

[inland girder]

hmm probably so

[full mesa]

still viable honestly, not many weapons have special properties like ashland's gem enhanced weapons, iolite and jade more specifically

[fair lotus]

You could use a command to respawn all the forts. That way you would still have to re-conquer them to get the gems, so would feel less like cheating.

[jade olive]

I wish that were the case, but my problem is I have spots where things just break and I haven't figured out why or how. I have an old seed and this is near the Deep North so my roots and walk way system is above the water connected to floating rocks. So no creatures. I have done a test in that bad stop with torches and a fence and for a week it didn't break. So I took it down and put back a wisp torch. I ran to the end of my walkway got sap from my good spot and when I was coming to that bad spot it broke right in front of me. All I want to know is if I put an extractor down can I put a wood floor under it and will it still work so maybe if another spot is bad I wont lose my supplies? or if any other ideas.

[hushed sigil]

Oh, might be the old seed. We have generally given up on our worlds after each biome release and used the same seed to regen a new world map with that.
You can use blueprint to save ur buildings etc and rebuild them again in the new world.

[jade olive]

Na too much work just to fix that. I have other spots to try not that bad spot on the branch. But the other info if you can build on the extractor base then I have a flat surface and with a bench near by I wont lose the pole from gravity if it breaks.

[willow raft]

@jade olive You could build under the spot that you want to put the extractor on, so that if it breaks it falls on top of that platform, connect it to the lowest point of the branch and if needed support it with beams to the underside of the branch.

[tired root]

Yeah, they're neat. #memes-and-clips message

[vivid locust]

I'm moving Valheim over to my new laptop (and everything else...). What would cause missing DB errors on some, but not all worlds?

[inland girder]

oo i like that, any idea what the command is?

[jade olive]

Ok that's something I didn't think of, it is worth a try and should work. And on a flatter spot on another branch I will just try the other way and see if it stops production or not. Thank you for the idea.

[willow raft]

Either corrupt files or missing files from those worlds, check on the device where Valheim was installed and see if the world saves on the new one are the same or if there are parts missing or showing less or even 0kb size as the original file. If missing copy over, if lower or 0kb delete and copy over.

[vivid locust]

Okay, I fixed a world by loading it on my old laptop. Then it cloudsaved, and the missing DB error went away on my new laptop. I believe these are all worlds that have never loaded CTA.

I'm going to load every world and see if that fixes it I guess.

[vivid locust]

Loading each world on the old laptop, letting it cloud sync, then loading on my new laptop did the trick.

[compact heath]

I use a mod on our server that resets forts so we can do them again and get more, we have had up to 17 players on at one stage, multiplayer even with 10 does not give enough gems for happiness

[fair lotus]

No sorry you would have to google it or a mod that does it

[vapid warren]

you'd have to spawn an entire new fortress location. location is the command, but unless you specify, it will also disable saving, since locations cant be removed

[sharp nova]

@spring gulch hey franz how hard would you say it'd be for your copper knife wielding pre elder character to collect 5 black cores?

[pseudo niche]

how is that even possible 😭

wdym?

[sharp nova]

he's been very busy doing lots of grinding

[pseudo niche]

I don't understand :(

[sharp nova]

he's a very good player and has done a lot of progression skips already

he was eating lox meat earlier

[pseudo niche]

so I take it that he already cleared infested mines with iron gears before?

[sharp nova]

i don't know, he probably didnt, but i'm wondering if he could in his opinion

[pseudo niche]

man I would love to find out
unreal 😭

[drowsy crane]

Yes, anyone could do this, Mistlands dungeons have plenty of choke points, with enough arrows and knowledge you could make it work.

[pseudo niche]

really? 😭
How do I learn about these points? Once I kept being spawncamped by star seekers at entrance of a mine and that was so traumatizing

[vapid warren]

There are some parts of the hallways that are so narrow soldiers cant get through

As for entrance, you can stand there with a sledge and aoe anything that approaches

Bombs work too

[drowsy crane]

Choke points are the entrance where enemies have difficulty reaching you(they will reach you on occasion), sliding doors to cut off enemies' view of the player, where attacking, closing the doors and going into stealth can easily chip away at them. I will also mention the pits with the thin bridges above, this vantage allows plenty of opportunity to remain out of sight, or just sling arrows in succession.

[clear thicket]

Guys i'm wondering about my base. Should I stick to the Meadows for my main one and do small outposts with portals in other biomes ? Should I move a bit further to have easier ressources ? My actual one is in a too small spot which prevent me expension (yup i've chose a bad spot 😅 )

[tired root]

I like doing that, having outposts in every biome connected with portals to my main base.
You can make the move at any point, once you find suitable location for it.

[vapid warren]

I like having a somewhat central base on the water with small huts with portals elsewhere

[drowsy crane]

If you can locate a nice Plains location, it can make farming more streamlined, if you're not very farm focused, Meadows should work great!

[clear thicket]

I'm not there yet :p next goal is to fight the Elder ^^

First playthrough 🙂

[kind quiver]

No stress then, just enjoy the game

[drowsy crane]

Ah! Yeah, I wouldn't worry about optimal approaches with the first playthrough, best to determine what's important to you within the game first.

[clear thicket]

It's just I would like to have some space to expand if necessary (which is , in a sort with new discoveries / stations) and that I can "enclose" to defend vs raids without having to move away myself ^^

[sharp nova]

once i've fully consumed a feast the next step is to use a serving tray to pick up the remaining space, right?

[kind quiver]

yes

Deletee/remove but same thing

[drowsy crane]

Ah, well perhaps stick to Meadows but look for something more ideal for expansion, you can easily relocate with a portal between old base and new base.

I would also suggest staying near the Forsaken Stones/Spawn area, so you can play with setting your spawn via resting in a bed. That way when you remove the bed, you will spawn at the Forsaken Stones and be able to run home with ease.

[vapid warren]

You should have a portal to the stones anyway

[drowsy crane]

This is also to help along anyone that might have their base destroyed(I didn't want to mention that though).

[clear thicket]

^^ By the way about portals. I have one in my base connected to one on my outpost in the black forest. What if I make another portal and try to get back to base by naming it the same way. Will it work and erase the 1st link ? Or should I have another blank portal at home ?

[vital tapir]

If you already have 2 portals linked, naming a 3rd won't change the existing link. You'd need to rename/remove one of the other 2. What I end up doing is having several permanent portals at base for ones I use regularly and then a couple that I rename as needed to link to ones in other locations that stay fixed. Just make sure to keep track of the names like with map annotations.

[clear thicket]

Erf that's what I thought ... Thanks 🙂

[vapid warren]

Two linked portals will only unlink if you change the name or destroy one of them

[drowsy crane]

I do wonder if you could game that system a bit, build a portal on a floating beam, remove the beam and take the portal before it crumbles with no support. Would the connection then be made with another existing portal using the same tag?

In a scenario where you want a portal to the top of a mountain, but you're slowly working your way towards it with portal checkpoints using that same mountain tag, it could be useful.

[vapid warren]

It would have to break after you portal but before area is unloaded

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, I've never tried it before, I wonder if it's reliable.

Of course, what's more reliable would be an explorer portal, but this could be handy in scenarios without much forethought.

[clear thicket]

That's what I was thinking, making myself an "Explore" portal a home and a disposable one in the wild

[pseudo niche]

what do I do, say, if I bring materials for a "Explore" portal with me, and yet later die really far away from an established portal?
Like what should I do to prevent that from happening, and if it does happen regardless is there a smarter way than going really far without gears to get them back

[spring gulch]

I have 3 i just havent gone back

[spring gulch]

To put it simply, too easy.

[sharp nova]

thanks lefranz

[pseudo niche]

built different

[vapid warren]

What you should do is not go so far from your portal in dangerous areas, if you need to go further, new longer term portal

[spring gulch]

Have a plan for what youre exploring. If its black forest u dont have to worry so much and u can make a bed under a troll cave entrance any time to set your spawn. U can spend days away from home but generally speaking you should get baxk to your boat or portal before night

I am not sure about the functions though, but we did have a sizzling hot tub session

[spring gulch]

If you have ever slept since you logged in to your session, your last save when you hit escape will be 0, 19 minutes will be night, 29 will be day

You can sleep at 12 XD

Hi

[drowsy crane]

To avoid being damaged? No

[sharp nova]

to function 😅

[molten pebble]

Why were you in vc for 20 hours Herrera

How many hours u got on. Valheim

[vapid warren]

Its off topic anyway

[drowsy crane]

Nope, it'll function just fine, just like in real life.

[sharp nova]

why didn't you delete the messages that prompted him

(him being lefranz)

[vapid warren]

The direction of the sun(or moon) is determined by what time of day(or night) it is. If you face the sun(or moon) and you are facing east on the minimap, its morning or just tutned night. If its south, middle of day/night. West is end of day/night

[vapid warren]

I didnt delete anything

[sharp nova]

oh...

nevermind. sorry all

[pseudo niche]

speaking of direction and minimap, what is the arrow on minimap pointing to

[vapid warren]

Wind

[drowsy crane]

That's wind direction.

[pseudo niche]

oh 💔

[drowsy crane]

Why broken hearted over that?

[pseudo niche]

I thought it is a north arrow thing

[drowsy crane]

North is the top of your map.

[vapid warren]

No, north is just up on minimap,it doest turn

[pseudo niche]

true

[spring gulch]

I delete my own messages all the time for a number of reasons

[sharp nova]

i get it

[clear thicket]

If I build then destroy the workbench, does the building stays ?

Ty 🙂

[iron wolf]

They do.
I play with the recycle mod, so you get back the materials for the items you craft.
It's very heplful.

[spring gulch]

U get all your mats back in vanilla too XD just not your armor or weapons

[tired root]

Building stays, but you cannot dismantle or repair any pieces without workbench building radius.

[clear thicket]

Anyway, my question was useless since I've wanted to build a small bridge across a river to not get wet, but my objective is on another island which I didn't knew 😂

So raft it is 🥲

[iron wolf]

If you are playing with the seasons mod, you could wait for the water to freeze! Just need some ice skates! lols

[clear thicket]

Yeah no ^^ i'd like to kill the elder to go on my journey 😂

Burials can have several floors ? 😮

[crystal kiln]

rarely and the second floor is usually very small

[spring gulch]

No idea how it technically works but some 2 room BC can have a lot of cores and a multi level many room can have 2 ghosts and 1 core XD

[sharp nova]

"oh my gosh it goes deeper i hope i'm ready 😨"
"oh there's nothing here. 😐 😑"

[spring gulch]

Thats what... nvm

[sharp nova]

idk sorry

[spring gulch]

no no ur fine, i was going to say something not relevant to valheim-help

[crystal kiln]

some rooms spawn with cores, but which rooms spawn is basically pure rng

[spring gulch]

brilliant use of emojis XD

[sharp nova]

[hollow jackal]

what is seen as th best trinket in terms of stamina cost / effect?

[tired root]

Bronze pendant is very nice for stamina recovery.

[marble roost]

I mean depends on preference, but I’d say iron brooch is a fan favorite all throughout the game, and Lategame jormundling is pretty busted

Personally my favorite is fins of destiny

[tired root]

Evasion mantle might be my favorite.

[sharp nova]

fins of destiny is easy to activate and quite useful

[vital tapir]

How do the mob spawners affect overall spawn? If I clear so many mob spawners withing a certain radius, does that lower the amount of random mobs that might attack me within that radius?

[willow raft]

Most mob spawners only generate when you are close, like the body piles and the skeleton heap, the grey dwarf spawner spawns another one when you kill one of the three running around it, so if you are close and / or killing stuff the mob spawners will generate more mobs but if you are far away it doesn't matter.

[clear thicket]

Isn't there a "quick stack" option ? I mean hitting one button, it stacks all your inventory into nearby chests that already has that item ? :/

[vital tapir]

This is in reference to Ashlands

[vapid warren]

Holding E stacks all from your inventory into the chest you have targeted if its already in it

[clear thicket]

OOO at least i don't have to open each one T_T thanks you

[vapid warren]

Random spawns and spawners both only spawn if there arent too many of that type in the same chunk area( 64x64 meters)

[willow raft]

Same thing, not nearby they have some mobs running around and it will stay like that till you kills some or will only trigger when you are near.

[vital tapir]

I guess the real question is, is there a strong benefit to hunting out and destryoing spawners to reduce the overall mob spawn rate, or are they essentially negligble?

[willow raft]

Neglible, they only matter if you are passing them or killing mobs that are around it.

If yo uare going to build there then I'd take em out but otherwise

[vapid warren]

Depends on how fast you can kill them. If fast enough, sure. They spawn mobs much faste

[vital tapir]

Yeah, I always destroy them as I see them. I guess I was wondering if I clear so many mob spawners withing 'X' meters of a base in ashlands, does that reduce the overall spawn rate within that circle? Like can I make my base safer by clearing mob spawners, or am I going to be constantly overwhelmed with spawns becasue it's Ashlands.

[vapid warren]

If there arent any spawners nearby you wont encounter that many charred is my experience

[vital tapir]

Okay. We just cleared our first fortress and I setup a base inside it. It seemed that I was getting a lot more spawn just outside afterwards than I would hope for. I saw a spawner like 50 meters away across some lava so I headed out to clear it but kept getting overwhelmed trying to get there.

[willow raft]

Do you have the tentacle staff, troll staff or bow?

[vital tapir]

A buddy just made the tentacle staff as we got a Jade amulet from the 1st fort.

[willow raft]

Throw the tentacles from a distance on top of the spawner

[alpine trench]

I just got to swamp but died in no time from like .. the mist?? idk. How do i survive there ?

[spring gulch]

U dont XD

[frosty frost]

Was it purple-ish flying thing? 😄 Or green cloud?

[alpine trench]

Im not sure tbh. Leeches started attacking me as i jumped off the boat, got on land and 10 sec later i died lol

[frosty frost]

Ah, if leeches bit you then i would bet on poison dmg 😄 they do poison you if they land a hit
