[thorn spire]

got sap and soft tissue?

[fading pivot]

does deep north has a boss or it will be added?

[subtle parrot]

Deep north isn't finished yet, so it will be added later

[marble roost]

It will be added (I assume, would be very odd for the biome to not have a boss)

Also Deep North doesn't exist yet. Whole biome will be added later

[pseudo niche]

winter child boss

[tired root]

Biome itself exists in each world, but it is currently empty from content. It will be properly generate there when the update is added as long as the areas remain unexplored.

[pseudo niche]

oh so if I go there, I ruin the world for myself? 🥲
Should I avoid going to the east/west edges?

[frosty frost]

Avoid going too far north mainly 😄

[tired root]

At the very edge might be safe locations, if the terrain generation will be similar to Ashlands.

[pseudo niche]

what would I find at those edges though
now that I mention it I never walked all the way down ashlands to see if there is an border of some sorts

[tired root]

Picked from random seed, but it usually looks like this from the very edges.

[vapid warren]

The heightmap was forced down below the ocean, thats why you can find mountains biome at the shore

[pseudo niche]

what does it look like in game though
invisible walls?

heightmap?

[vapid warren]

Nah just a wide stretch of ocean

The heighmap is the blueprint for landmasses in valheim

[terse tiger]

Ah, soft tissue as well?

[willow raft]

Yeah, on top is where you need to insert it. Also it will give off sparks so anything near that isn't iron (might be any metal) or black marble will get damage

[terse tiger]

And are there any tips on how to build around it without it destroying everything?

[vapid warren]

Black marble and iron both are immune to its damage

Ground too

[tired root]

And dvergr cages.

[spring gulch]

my go to since mist is full of copper

and its pretty

[wraith adder]

does devcommands deactivate achivements??

im gonna do bad things to my wrist in game if i die one more time in swamp

[true steeple]

there are no achievements right now, but the character probably won’t be able to obtain them when they are implemented

[wraith adder]

ty

[wraith adder]

i need to make a stone wall but i cant use stone to build things what do i need for stone building stuff

[scenic latch]

Hi, you need to build a stone craft station, which can be built with iron ingot. Basically you need to get iron scraps from the swamp biome first before you can build a stone craft table.

You can get iron randomly outside of crypts in swamps if you build a craft station on top of it or if you haven't beaten the 2nd boss for swamp key, you can glitch into crypts by building a chair in front of the crypt door, where you can sit/get up into the crypt.

[wraith adder]

thank you

[scarlet wyvern]

Would digging a pit around the altar be a good idea? XD

[marble roost]

I'd say no, but you can probably figure out some way to cheese him like that if you really want

[vapid warren]

Elder is so easy without technically any cheese. Stand on the opposite end of the altar and hide behind a pillar when he shoots vines. When he spawns roots, walk to a different pillar, repeat.

Finewood bow + 100 fire arrows is enough

[sinful moth]

It's also really easy to do melee if you are at least kinda comfortable with dodging, do the same but always dodge the stomp

[scarlet wyvern]

I suck at dodging xP

[tired root]

Melee is easy. Parrying works too with buckler and costs no stamina.

[sinful moth]

You should try learning it(and parrying) early on, if you don't then you won't know how to do it when u actually need it later on, and it's way more fun with that then just shooting everything with a bow imo

[scarlet wyvern]

I tend to panic when trying to dodge and press every button but the dodge xD

[spring gulch]

Lmao I practiced on twig for stone golems it makes it less scary!

[scarlet wyvern]

I've not even seen golems

[spring gulch]

Oop well they scared me. If you have ectoplasm you can make a dummy to help you

[scarlet wyvern]

I have gotten ectoplasm do the dummies work on the trolls? XP

[spring gulch]

It has various attacks, they dont look like the troll attacks but it may help you get more comfortable with dodging in general. Just an idea

[scarlet wyvern]

Oki thanks ^^ still mostly new to the game and trolls scare me xP

[sharp nova]

besides ratatosk and tasty, what meads can i probably make mad stacks of guilt free?

swim mead?

[upper flax]

Troll endurance

[proven timber]

parry everything

[jolly tapir]

You can increase resource drop rates with world modifiers right? You dont need a mod to do it, correct?

[finite goblet]

yes

[scarlet wyvern]

I just mash the attack button xD

[sharp nova]

trolls scary to parry at first because of how hard they hit but eventually it got really easy for me and might too for you

[sharp nova]

dodge and knife their ankles. do not tank the trolls

parry or dodge, don't let their attacks land

[barren rivet]

yeah, you gotta just learn parry and dodge, the game is designed around it after call to arms update. otherwise you're always just gonna be struggling in combat the whole time and much worse things than trolls out there

[snow marsh]

id say the game was always designed around it, at least as of steam release, but the cta update made it more rewarding to engage with the loop

[scarlet wyvern]

If the dodge was activated with 1 button instead of two I might find it easier xD

[tired root]

https://giphy.com/gifs/e33-expedition-33-clair-obscur-nxBxi5v0Zy7ruNF4UR

[barren rivet]

imean cta literally made it so parry cost a LOT of stamina to ZERO stamina, and also trinkets were added that need adrenaline which parry and dodge gives

[next ivy]

Sometimes I just tap sprint briefly to dodge 😄

[barren rivet]

this is the old school dodge lol

thats how i used to fight trolls, walk backwards a couple steps, headshot spear throw, repeat

[snow marsh]

i favor parrying most of the time, you dont need to focus on one or the other (and you can certainly beat the game without doing much of either if you want to)

[proven timber]

but then youd be down a spear

[barren rivet]

but now dodge gives stamina back so just dodge instaed of economy walk

[barren rivet]

if my aim sucks yeah

[barren rivet]

yeah you CANNN, you can beat the game naked with a dagger

[jolly tapir]

Fr litteraly the only time I ever touch it is to get ticks off of me

[karmic agate]

or try to dodge and also parry as holding block when enemy attacks

[scarlet wyvern]

Ticks?

[sharp nova]

mistland enemy

second to last current biome

[scarlet wyvern]

Ah not there yet only been to Black forest and the plains

[sharp nova]

find a tall mountain that's where you'll be heading next

[proven timber]

3rd*

[sharp nova]

i'm not counting deep north, it's empty.

[snow marsh]

it does have one thing

[barren rivet]

oh deep north is out?? (sarcasm)

[jolly tapir]

You can sail to deep north and get the biome greeting, but that's all

[vapid warren]

[jolly tapir]

Who's modding out 🤣

[sharp nova]

godspeed basil

[proven timber]

only cowards delete my messages
face me like a true viking 1v1

[vapid warren]

Just no reason to add to confusion

[vapid warren]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-hammer-futurama-scruffy-gif-20750885

[finite goblet]

why does that look like the valheim hammer?

[sharp nova]

i had an idea.

[finite goblet]

coincidence?

[next ivy]

had*

(you're referring to your building hammer idea?)

[jolly tapir]

That's what she said dawg 😂

[sharp nova]

make it useable as a weapon in hammer mode exclusively

[next ivy]

we've had this discussion several times already D:

[vapid warren]

No need to foul the help channel with that too lol

[snow marsh]

i can live out my dwarven fantasies

[sharp nova]

wanna delete the evidence

[finite goblet]

release the basil files

[sharp nova]

i have shut up ×u×

[vapid warren]

Anyway, it fits better in #valheim-chat or #suggestion-discussion . Leave room in here for people to ask for help

[winged needle]

Does anyone know whether campfires and other spawn-preventing placeables prevent spawn in a sphere or in a cylinder? The traced radius seems to imply a cylinder but if it were a sphere that might explain some weird spawn behaviors.

[jade rapids]

Some are sphere, and some are cylinder. If I recall correctly, the normal Workbench are cylinder, but Warden are sphere

[willow raft]

Sphere yes, so if you place something on high, the bottom might still allow spawns.

[frosty frost]

Spawn prevention radius is always a sphere, but the work area is a cylinder

[jade rapids]

Plenty of youtube creators over the years, that has made videos about this.

[winged needle]

This definitely explains why campfires weren't preventing spawn in some areas with a relatively large altitude difference. It doesn't explain why the workbench placed in the same place did prevent it, though.

Thanks for suggesting videos. This is a relatively recent one that had exactly the specs I needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33W1266CfAg

[willow raft]

Was the workbench upgraded?
Basic workbench is 20m but every upgrade makes the spehre bigger.

[winged needle]

That's a negative, no upgrades.

[iron talon]

What food do you use for chicken?

[spring gulch]

Any seed u have excess of minus a few i think

[frosty frost]

Or dandelions 😄

[spring gulch]

Does anyone know what the ashlandsocean key does?

[full mesa]

dev commands?

[spring gulch]

yeah i logged in with the wrong character and i wanted to check if i messed any keys up and saw that

[full mesa]

ashlandocean key 🤔

[compact heath]

I have no idea what it does, at a guess maybe it turns on and off the heat damage from the water or something?

could ask in one of the modding discords maybe they know

[full mesa]

My best guess is it has something to do with after beating fader

maybe

[spring gulch]

No i just sailed there in vanilla

Killed some || bonemaw ||

[thorn spire]

Could it be a key to indicate you've discovered the biome? Prevents the music and name display.

I'm speculating

[compact heath]

sounds you might be right, the one where the bird comes and tells you more, that sounds like what it is

[terse tiger]

How do I feed hens?

[finite goblet]

Seeds or barley

[glad current]

Or dandelions

But usually they get the 50 bazillion beech seeds cluttering up my storage

[terse tiger]

But how do I do it?

[glad current]

Drop them on the ground near your hens

[terse tiger]

Does anyone know what does the star next to a craftable building is? Its a brown/bronze star

On the corner of the icon when using the hammer

[vapid warren]

In the crafting section of the hammer? Theyre workbench(etc) upgrades

[sharp quartz]

Is the flametal shield worth it at all

[potent niche]

No carapace buckler is way better

[tacit breach]

There is a spreadsheet in the chat channel pins that spells out what blocks/parries the best at each stage of the game. Plus a number of other helpful spreadsheets.

[next ivy]

The carapace buckler is around 20-30 Block Armor better for parrying. For overall blocking, the Flametal Shield is still a formidable shield.

[potent niche]

It's actually 36 more parry block armor if you have 0 skill and it becomes even more when you get your blocking skill

Although regular shield wise yes than yes the flametal shield is better

[next ivy]

Yeah, you're right. My mistake. I was comparing a level 1 Flametal Shield to the level 3 Carapace Buckler. (EDIT: and I misremembered that too)

[potent niche]

if so than it's 54 more block armor for parry

[next ivy]

I can't remember exactly, my mistake. It's more than 20-30 for sure xD

[urban flare]

Hello there. I recently build a 4 story warehouse (the practicality of which i am questioning rn) and i have a bit of a problem. I am pretty sure, that I did not miss a single roof piece but the floor and walls still take damage somehow. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

It is made out of wood

With core wood beams

[snow marsh]

is it exclusively the first floor by chance

[urban flare]

Um. The first floor that is underground, yes

[snow marsh]

rising tide will damage wood

[urban flare]

Oh. Is there a tide even though i am nowhere near water?

[snow marsh]

yeah, interestingly enough, but you do have to be at the right elevation for it, which is possible especially if you said its underground

[urban flare]

Ok. Thank you for the help. I will elevate the sturcture then.

[snow marsh]

twas my first guess, if you dont wanna do all that work right away next time it storms keep an eye out down there if youre not convinced it actually could rise that high

other ideas are largely gonna be trial and error from me, this is just an issue i knew id had early on when i was trying to do basements

[jade olive]

If roof pieces are not on the right snap point and dose not cover the wall, then it will take damage. You shouldn't see any of the wall from the roof connection it should over lap the wall just a little. So might want to doubble check it. This can be an easy mistake to make.

[placid quarry]

Im trying to make poison resistance potions but my cauldron doesnt show the recipe for any mead, does anybody know why?

[frosty frost]

You need the mead ketill 🙂

[placid quarry]

Thanks!

[urban flare]

Thank you. will do

[marsh solar]

Hello, i'm a bit confused about sneak attack, spears says "3x" damage on sneak attack, but as i'm testing it, my spear only is doing 35.5 damage on a boar, instead of 26, still buffed, but way less than 3x ?

[vapid warren]

Is the boar actually unaware of you?

[marsh solar]

and while throwing, i'm doing 51.1, instead of 39, so the damage buff from sneak attack goes from 1.36 to 1.31

[marsh solar]

yes !

[true steeple]

Is the 26 the base damage on the spear or part of the range in backets next to it?

[marsh solar]

OH, i'm just getting it. 26 damage is the damage per second of the spear

[true steeple]

the range shows the damage after it's lowered by your character's skill level, a random point from here is selected when you attack

26 is the base damage, not damage per second

the spear secondary attack (throw) deals 1.5x damage

[marsh solar]

on the wiki it's marked "26" damage on a 1 times upgraded spear, but in game it's showed as "9-17"

[true steeple]

in game it will show as 26 (9-17), because it has 26 base damage but the damage variance from skills will lower it randomly from 9-17

[marsh solar]

Oh okay, so the skills are a reverse-nerf, not an upgrade

[tired root]

They make you more effective with the weapon.

[sharp nova]

how do i cheat and turn on flight on a new character?

[true steeple]

check 'enable console' in game settings, press f5, use the command devcommands to enable cheats then use the command fly to toggle flight

[sharp nova]

is there a devcommand to fill the map?

[wide lynx]

Exploremap I think???

[vapid warren]

That reveals the map

Doesnt generate anything tho

[wide lynx]

It does freeze my game temporary when I use it tho

[sharp nova]

this is what i needed

[sharp nova]

thanks

and you too @true steeple

final question.

if part of the mastermap is in a world replaced with deep north, its contents are overwritten, right?

[wide lynx]

I wouldnt know. My guess is that as long as you dont fly out there and explore it before the update, it should overwrite after the update. Because the command.doesnt generate any land. But it could be possible that it doesnt

[sharp nova]

i mean.

We can't say for sure what the future holds for deep north.

but right now deep north terrain gen overwrites default heightmapping, right?

[vapid warren]

Same with any biome

[true steeple]

every biome has its own heightmap generator, I don't know how similar deep north is to the other biomes

[sharp nova]

glad i checked with devcommands before i committed to this world. Hook is not on this seed, it's totally off the world, not even in the range of the deep north

[vapid warren]

Its probably gonna be different than its current version anyway, like mistlands and ashlands changed

[wide lynx]

I had one seed that put moder on the top peak of a mountain that is a couple meters from the cloud box

[pseudo niche]

what is cloud box

[sharp nova]

okay i flew over to where it should be on the map and the deep north biome gave way to mountains and hook really is here.

thats fucking cool

[tired root]

Do you have idea of the generation of Ashlands area?

[true steeple]

I'm trying to get a map entirely of one biome for meadows, ashlands and dn so I can compare them

[tired root]

I just know it is very different.

[wide lynx]

The clouds render in above the player in a dome i call it the cloud box, because it makes sense to me. Its hard to tell its just a dome arround you, but if you use the devcommands and fly waaayyyy up, you can see where the dome ends.

[sharp nova]

also if you're atop a really tall mountain you are above the clouds

-# space
is there a devcommand to generate some or all of the unloaded areas in a world?

considering doing that for this one before 1.0 in case deep north terrain gen changes enough that hook will not be here

[pseudo niche]

what is hook?

[true steeple]

Loading areas won't preserve the terrain

[sharp nova]

second tallest known and very cool mountain

[pseudo niche]

is that like a setpiece?

appeared in all worlds or?

[sharp nova]

no it's a fan-given name.

it very much does not appear in every world

[vapid warren]

Your world is a circular cookie cutter that takes parts of this bigger map

[true steeple]

the terrain generators get an x and z offset from the world seed instead of calculating noise any differently, so some terrain can be the same between different worlds

[sharp nova]

i thought exploring deep north before 1.0 would result in preserved outdated generation

[true steeple]

The objects are saved but terrain is not

[pseudo niche]

so I gather that in the seed in the picture, all of the three highest mountains are present?
Why are they named like that though, like are there reasoning behind the names

[sharp nova]

that is the conglomeration of many seeds

[true steeple]

This picture is made from multiple maps put together, you can't get this all on one seed

[pseudo niche]

my bad then

[sharp nova]

what the heck do you mean by "objects"...

[true steeple]

the trees, rocks, everything that's not the ground heightmap

[sharp nova]

dam

[true steeple]

that gets regenerated every time it's loaded, only modifications are saved

[vapid warren]

Not the heightmap

[sharp nova]

i guess i might get very familiar with empty and uninfinished pre 1.0 deep north 😮‍💨

[wide lynx]

This seems... not how it works..... I've had plenty of worlds that dont line up to this at all. Like most if not all worlds even. I've had some VERY distinct islands i dont see. Please elaborate?

[sharp nova]

they do you just haven't found where

[vapid warren]

Biomes, rivers, etc are separate overlays

[wide lynx]

Again there are extremely identifiable islands that I know and love that dont line up

Even without rivers and biomes

[sharp nova]

then you're looking in the wrong spot probably

[vapid warren]

This is just a compisite of several different seeds. Its not gonna match exactly

Its not actually the master seed

[sharp nova]

the biomes for instance are not consistent

outer areas will tend to be mistlands and inner areas will tend to be meadows and black forest

[pseudo niche]

I am struggling to wrap my head around this map thingy 😵‍💫

[sharp nova]

#screenshots message how on earth did you achieve this

[warped glade]

I js started playing and forgot most things abt the game can anyone play with me and js help me figure it all out again?

I used to play on xbox

[vapid warren]

#1024264966712340510

[warped glade]

Nobody replies

[vapid warren]

Look to join servers? Thats where to look though. Personally i prefer solo

[warped glade]

Its not as fun solo you get bored eventualy

[wide lynx]

I don't belive in the master seed. My terrain is proceduraly generated

[vapid warren]

Each to their own i guess

[sharp nova]

this is what academics call ignorance

[warped glade]

yes

[true steeple]

it is procedurally generated, but the world seed gives a position offset to the noise instead of directly changing the noise generator

I'm not sure why, maybe it was just easier

but the range the offset can be is quite small

[wide lynx]

While.i agree with this. We should keep things in therr respective chamnels

[warped glade]

ye mb guys

[wide lynx]

Hold up I just realized the lore implications of cutting an offset chunk of a master seed and setting it as its own seed

Woah! It all makes sense now

Not just that I made up lore. But I get how it works now it it makes me.happy

[wide lynx]

Your mom is what I call.... when im lonely

[sharp nova]

most respectful mom joke

[warped glade]

Yo why is everyone in this server so old cuh

[barren rivet]

aw, your mom is nice to talk to when someone is lonely, what a nice compliment

[barren rivet]

cuz this game is for people whp like sailing on a boat for 30 minutes straight and farming carrots

[sharp nova]

it's a game about vikings that makes a point to avoid politics it attracts a certain crowd and repels another

no shade, lack of politics is refreshing

i can talk to everyone with civility regardless of hidden beliefs

[warped glade]

I have no idea what half of that means

but alr

[vapid warren]

Its a server for a slow paced game with old style graphics

[sharp nova]

meanwhile minecraft's target audience buys happy meals

(admittedly minecraft's playerbase used to be old too)

(check old machinimas and you find 😤 some CONTENT)

[barren rivet]

whats great about minecraft is some players are fulfilled building a cube with a door, and others build a working calculator

[wide lynx]

The game style, the grindy gameplay, hidden lore that is intriguing, active (for the most part) devs who listen to the audience and put quality over speed/profit, these tend to resonate with older gamers, it feels more like what games used to be. These days games are microtransactons and politics, and its nice to escape that, all this to also say there is a reason valhiem has kept such a high percentage of its active player count since the launch of early access.

[drowsy crane]

Used to be old? 😅
We only get older.

[wide lynx]

Many of the games similar have SUFFERED player count drops after just a few months after public release

[sharp nova]

hytale 😭 why did you have to stop devving

[drowsy crane]

Yeah, Valheim has broken many of the norms, the amount of attention it got during early access was and is still unmatched for an indie studio.

[wide lynx]

I feel like many of the og players have fallen away from minecraft a lot in recent years given the fact they now have a store where you pay real money for mods that may not even work after 6 months

[vapid warren]

This is neither valheim nor help discussion at this point

[wide lynx]

Brother I remember when hytale was just a modded Mc server

[drowsy crane]

I'm not so sure mods are to blame myself, but I see what you're saying.

[wide lynx]

Everyone !!! To #general !!!!!!!!!

[drowsy crane]

You heard Larsi, pack it up.

[rain rampart]

I have no clue what kind of crowd Valheim attracts or repels, politically? I don’t think it’s that deep lol

[red tartan]

The heart of it, quality post, quality 🫶
I truly thank you for it

Having made it to the Ashlands, via an unconventional & dangerous path, what’s next?..
Should defeat the previous area’s boss, but Ashlands has certain things I wish to learn?

[spring gulch]

Getting to ash on a drakkar is a classic valheim moment and landing and getting a foot. Also not a huge fan of cheesing the places there bc the devs did such a good job making the endeavor fun with the || machines ||

Also || the battering ram is so fun to farm things with ||

[red tartan]

I will take the traditional path

[spring gulch]

Launching out of a troll cave is fun too

[red tartan]

Thank you brother

[clear thicket]

Is any Iron item NEEDED to progress ? like bronze axe for Birch ?

[sharp nova]

why avoid it?

[spring gulch]

Pickaxe or not even if u have patience and skill

[clear thicket]

I mean mandatory , or I can just for now with bronze pickaxe / axe and get iron ones after better weapons / armor ?

Sorry my question wasn't clear 😅

[vapid warren]

Cant mine in mountains without iron pickaxe

[sharp nova]

you absolutely can wait to get iron pickaxe later but eventually is a very good idea

[clear thicket]

Ok ok, thanks 🙂

[vapid warren]

Have you made iron nails?

[sharp nova]

prioritize stonecutter cooking station nails and banded or buckler

oh food prep table eventually is a good idea

[clear thicket]

Made 10 to unlock the recipes yeah

[sharp nova]

you'll really want an iron mace but it's got less base damage than fully upgraded bronze

[vapid warren]

Well lets just say youre gonna kick yourself if you dont make the longship until much later

[clear thicket]

Not gonna lie, i'm "cheating" a bit about that , i've allowed my world to portal some items , got only few time to play and don't want to spend 90% of it doing travels between base and ressources

[spring gulch]

How dare you f5
Fly
Zoots away

[clear thicket]

This is actual cheating )x

[spring gulch]

World modifiers dont mark you as cheater dw

[vapid warren]

Well, then youll prolly want iron cooking station, food prep table and forge upgrades

[sharp nova]

not enough seed posters know about "exploremap"

you don't need to use an external tool to expose a whole map you just need a lil devcommands

[spring gulch]

The map gen is a lot more useful for a cheater but yeah

[clear thicket]

what do you recommend for food ? Sausage + Muckshake + Turnip Stew (Queen Jam while waiting for turnip to grow) ?

[spring gulch]

Thats Stam stam health right? Its up to you. Im eating deer meat deer stew and honey in the swamp bc im lazy. You could do the black soup as well, I believe, if you wanted more health

[sharp nova]

sausage is a bit cheap and lots of hp

[clear thicket]

Yeah i'm used to go double stam + hp

[spring gulch]

im not the best thistle collector

[sharp nova]

does it not grow in your levelled black forests?

[spring gulch]

I have like 7 stacks of thistle but Im convinced I need it for something else. I also have infinity boar so im bprobably making excuses. cooking deer is so easy and its worked this far XD

[next ivy]

~~collecting thistle for food ~~ leaving thistle because it glows nice

[clear thicket]

The famous "You never know ..."

[sharp nova]

collects blueberries for deer stew but not thistle for sausage 🤭 0u0

[next ivy]

blueberries are NOT for deer stew

[clear thicket]

Blueberries are a pain ...

[next ivy]

RATATOSK

[spring gulch]

The thing is I dont clutter my blueberry map markers with thistle markers, I just pick thistle when I go for blueberries, bc theyre easy to see

[spring gulch]

You can find a black forest with over 50 blueberries and never need to worry about them again

[sharp nova]

there are no ratatosk or tasty mead emotes

[clear thicket]

Forge can go up to lv 7 ?

damn

[sharp nova]

craft a sharpening stone at a stonecutter if you haven't already

lifesaving tip

[clear thicket]

For the Wheel? Just built it yeah

or is it to repair items ?

[sinful moth]

No, just for the forge upgrade

[sharp nova]

@clear thicket in case you're wondering: while a stonecutter's sharpening stone is useful, given that it's the only thing it can craft it's not its main purpose

it glossed over me until i checked the wiki because it's main purpose is building with stone

walls, arches, hearths, that stuff

[clear thicket]

Yeah i saw that now i can build with stone finally 🥲

[sharp nova]

hearth is next to in your hammer menu and is great for comfort and placing beneath iron cooking stations

[clear thicket]

OOO didn't saw it !! was wondering when I could build it :3

Found a small village spot in the meadows, near swamps / mountain / plains , would like to make it my base but I'm struggling with the building 😂

[sharp nova]

that's not so easy to help with.

for building inspiration i suggest watching active long time players stream

its how i got my first inklimgs of ideas for a swamp tree base

before i had no #u€¥ing idea what to do @u@

[tacit breach]

Yep. Videos were very helpful to my building as well. Plus I had a fair number of people invite me into their worlds to show me how they designed and built things.

[sharp nova]

to be clear.

the common wisdom is not to explore deep north.

but it is no longer clear to me why

[finite goblet]

world edit my goat

[wide lynx]

Just so that it has the least chance to interfere with the update

[vapid warren]

Because you probably want deep north to generate stuff other than random mob spawns

[sharp nova]

won't that stuff still be there?

[willow raft]

If you are planning on starting a new world when deep north hits, you can explore all you want.
If you are going to be using the same world don't go there, it will fuck with the update.

[sharp nova]

but...
in what way?

[willow raft]

The parts you have explored won't get filled in.
Buildings you have put up will most likely break.

[vapid warren]

Areas that are explored will not generate any new objects or locations. Anything from rocks to dungeons

[sharp nova]

i see now.

[tired root]

Here are examples of pre-explored areas in Mistlands and Ashlands before their content updates.

Terrain remains barren from any objects but there will be random spawns.

[snow marsh]

just poking my head in to say its neat you had these on hand

[tired root]

Sometimes picture tells more than 1000 words.

[wide lynx]

Didn't the mystlands have spider webbed swamp trees?

[true steeple]

so my 60 frame gif of a map was over 60000 words?

[tired root]

I didn't start playing game that back then.

[wide lynx]

Frfr

[vapid warren]

Nah, thats just areas that have been farmed for resources

[vapid warren]

Yes. You can stilll access pre mistlands on steam

[wide lynx]

O: howwwww

[tired root]

Pre H&H Mistlands areas did have trees and spider webs.

[vapid warren]

Oh were they removed with H&H?

[tired root]

Yes.

[wide lynx]

Oooohhh

[vapid warren]

Then i guess you cant access ir on steam after all

I forgot when it was removed

[wide lynx]

Aawwwwwwww

[vapid warren]

Pre mistlands is available on steam but not pre H&H

[tired root]

Mistlands areas became fully barren when H&H was added.

[vapid warren]

Iirc to deter people from exploring

[wide lynx]

I want more hildir quests

Like one for mistlands

And one for swampy

And more cosmetics

[true steeple]

more fireworks

[sharp nova]

thank you for your wisdom mister zither

[tired root]

Do you know what is zither?

[sharp nova]

i think so
i'm surprised it's so popular, it seems really simple.

i'm more impartial to the clavichord.
it's difficult to find traditional zither music

[tired root]

This is Finnish zither:

[sharp nova]

@u@

[tired root]

Kannel/kantele.

[sharp nova]

not familiar with this

[tired root]

It is Finnish national instrument.

[sharp nova]

this gives much higher quality youtube searches

[tired root]

I'll stop derailing this channel now.

[willow raft]

You can't help yourself, can you?

[finite goblet]

Well you have derail perms

[iron talon]

Anyone have issues with coal disappearing after putting in the smelters?

[finite goblet]

No work station in range?

It will disappear if they arent in range of a base structure

Like all items

[vapid warren]

Smelters are base structures

[vapid warren]

Are you playing on a server or coop?

[iron talon]

Dedicated server (dathost). It is within workbench

The coal just disappears as soon as it comes out of the kiln

[vapid warren]

Sounds like desync or modded

[ripe drift]

im on day 20 and never get a raid is this normal?

[vapid warren]

Relog or server restart would likely work, but if youre playing with mods it could also maybe be auto putting in chests

[vapid warren]

20% chance every 46 minutes if you are near 3 player base structures(thinks like work benches, torches, bed, etc)

So if youre not sticking around your base for long, quite possible

[ripe drift]

I stand there alot

[vapid warren]

Rng i guess

[ripe drift]

my base is right on a boss spawn

[tacit breach]

I've gone 100+ days without a spawn. So between being there at just the right minute AND getting that 20% result, you can get them rarely, or a lot. So its not pure RNG, since being near such items is the first requirement. Only then do you even get the chance.

[cosmic nymph]

what does it mean "need a tag to post" in #1024264966712340510

[tacit breach]

Good question. You have more tags than I do and I can post there.

[strong cape]

I believe it means you need to tag your thread with one of the selecteable tags like the ones for region or difficulty.

[snow marsh]

Those are roles. Not trying to be pedantic, it's just Discord's nomenclature - tags are as Arrow put it, essentially the same thing but for threads to help sort them.

[sinful scroll]

What is the current version for Xbox?

I am running 221.12 on on console and 221.13 on another. I can not get the 221.12 to update.

[thorn spire]

221.12 is current main version. 221.13 must be the PTB patch; that's probably why it won't update.

[sinful scroll]

Oh fml… I should have known. You’re a legend thanks!

[jolly tapir]

Do you actually have to be at your base for that amount of time? Bc I had been somewhere totally different and portalted to one of my other bases. I was there for five minutes max and a raid started. Seems like they don't care how long you are there for

[cosmic nymph]

where?

[jolly tapir]

Possibly a stupid question, but how do you like "reset" the cartography table for multiplayer purposes? Bc yk at the start of the game, everybody is marking all the copper/burial chambers/what not and the map gets VERY cluttered really quickly. So I can have us all remove those markers on our own personal maps, but the second anyone touches the cartography table to try and record the updated map, the markings are put right back on their maps. So if we remove all those markers, how do we make it so the cartography table actually updates it so that the marks are gone when we interact with the table? Am I missing something really simple here?

[cosmic nymph]

I think if you right-click the things you dont want they disappear

oh nvm

[jolly tapir]

....XD

[cosmic nymph]

I didnt finish reading it

maybe destroy it and rebuild it?

[cosmic nymph]

@strong cape

[strong cape]

In the new thread part of the channel you posted about

[cosmic nymph]

I added tags

nvm

[snow marsh]

no you dont need to be there that long, thats just the checkin timer

[rain flare]

hello guys, im new on the game and i need some help to finde haldor

someone can give me some tips to try to find him?

[brazen aurora]

place your seed into seed browser and select the option to see the traders

[rain flare]

i put the seed there but when i go to the location he isnt there 🙁

[fallen ravine]

Other than checking your seed at https://valheim-map.world, I'm not aware of any quick way to find him, you just wander around the black forests until the pin pops up on your map. Although sailing the coasts and trying to find a Haldor spawn not too far inland may be the quickest way.

[next ivy]

If you've found another trader, I would advise looking near that one, from my experience, they spawn in near each-other
EDIT: I'm wrong. I guess I just got lucky 4 worlds in a row.

[hushed garden]

I can't agree with that.

Traders can be spread all over the world.

At least that's how it is in my forever-world. And even on my other worlds, they're fairly distant apart.

[compact heath]

That is not a thing, its rarer for them to be together, much more common to be further apart, and I have looked at well over 200 maps on the map viewer website and played on 12+ different maps

[next ivy]

I see! My apologies. I got lucky I guess 😄

[next ivy]

For sure. I seem to have been lucky several worlds in a row then! The proximities were pretty low!

[next ivy]

#screenshots message
From my experience they do. I didn't know that it doesn't work that way D:
(EDIT: Also, in the second screenshot, look how much of the world I explored on a Karve without Moder, just to find out he was right under Hildir the entire time X_X)

[arctic robin]

Uh can someone help me out, i used the devmode console and i spawned in like 200 logs instead of wood so now my base is covered in tree logs 😂

[finite goblet]

sounds like its chopping time

[arctic robin]

my first thought. but there is 300 so im a little troubled

[finite goblet]

ok bad idea. summon trolls with console commands. they will quickly break the logs, but also your house

[arctic robin]

is this the only option lol

will i be able to get rid of the trolls

[finite goblet]

i dont think there is a remove terrain and log option. there is a remove mob option command

so you summon the trolls then use the command to kill them

[arctic robin]

do you know the troll summon command? is it just spawn troll or something

[true steeple]

you can use forcedelete to remove the logs

[arctic robin]

how do i do that

[true steeple]

forcedelete 10 log would remove any log in 10m, the radius can go up to 50

[arctic robin]

i did 50 and omg it worked perfectly

[finite goblet]

thats a better idea since. i still dont know all the commands so

[arctic robin]

its all gone success!

thanks alot 👍

[vapid warren]

No, it just checks every 46 minutes if youre at a base

[jolly tapir]

Gotcha makes sense 👍

Also If you know, would you mind answering my cartography table question, please? 🥺

[vapid warren]

Destroy and rebuild the table and type /resetsharedmap should work

[jolly tapir]

Thank you so much!

[south lance]

hey guys, im transitioning from wood to stone slowly. im going to fight Moder soon, then i'll head into the plains. though, before i do all that, I'm working on a somewhat large garden/farm and a large stone dock for my longship. i have like 4-5 regular chests filled with stone, but i'm wondering what is a good strategy of getting stone right now? ive heard of popping the massive stones in the plains, but i'm scared to go there before i know i'm ready.

[vapid warren]

mountain boulders are tasty stone sources

[jolly tapir]

Mining ores usually gives you plenty of stone, but also destroy the stone buildings that spawn in the black forest, mtns, and later Plains, with a stonecutter or pickaxe. Also pickaxe the large stone boulders in the black forest. You actually get just as much or more stone from dismantling big boulders as you do from the plains pillars. As a fellow castle/stone builder I salute you 🫡

[vapid warren]

if you're brave, you can also enlist stone golems to help you

[jolly tapir]

And trolls

[vapid warren]

not tanky enough for it to be worth in mountains

i lured a 1 star and it died pretty soon

[jolly tapir]

Oh I meant just in the black forest lol

[vapid warren]

well i mentioned mountains above and then stone golems xD

[limpid forum]

I got a raft stuck on the coast. Is there any way to push it?

[karmic agate]

yes, get out of raft and just do it

try running for more force

[limpid forum]

Ah ok lol

[karmic agate]

if all else fails you can destroy it with a weapon, provided it's on land, and then get all the materials back

[limpid forum]

Thats nice

[limpid forum]

How do you make that wagon that can carry a ton of stuff?

[vapid warren]

bronze nails

[limpid forum]

Aight cheers

[limpid forum]

Is healing completely tied to food?

[sharp nova]

there's also trinkets and meads

[sinful moth]

Things like resting/rested also boost it and corpse run makes the healing interval faster

[limpid forum]

Corpse run?

[sinful moth]

The buff you get after picking up your inventory after dying

[limpid forum]

Ah

Btw got a forge and i put it in my base but apparently it still needs a roof over it. Even though it already has one

[marble roost]

Need to give it a proper room with roof and walls

Floor doesn't matter much, unless terrain is uneven

[sharp nova]

if the roof is wood floor it's the wrong kind of roof

[marble roost]

yeah needs to be a fashionable straw roof

[sharp nova]

stone floor also works tho

[vapid warren]

Does it have a roof or a floor?

[limpid forum]

Roof

[vapid warren]

Might be too close, or you dont have enough walls

[limpid forum]

I’ll keep screwing with it

Oh god do i have to put the ore in ratios to get bronze?

Oh nvm

[marble roost]

You just melt the ore once you get it, but then yea you go to the forge to craft 1 bronze using 2 copper 1 tin

[limpid forum]

Yeah just clocked that
my vintage story brain had ptsd

[willow raft]

Needs to be a proper roof, not using floor tiles or other build pieces that aren't roof pieces if you are using wood and 70% of the forge needs to be covered.

[limpid forum]

Im good to leave my base while my stuff processes right?

[frosty frost]

Yep, it will continue to process

[sharp nova]

it won't despawn if it's next to the furnace/smelter

[limpid forum]

Slick

[sharp nova]

you know how is good as a woodcutter and just okay as a weapon?

and is great as a weapon and decent as a woodcutter?

where do Early Axes fall?

[barren rivet]

its very situational. early axe secondary is actually strong for woodcutting cuz no mtp and it’s better than battle for single trees, but 1 hand axe can secondary tree and stump easily as it falls better than early, and ofc battle just destroys everything. so my official axeman answer is: it depends.

[sharp nova]

why don't i hear you howling about EA like i do from you about various battleaxes

more importantly

[sharp nova]

how good are early axes as weapons? this post only seems to explain their woodcutting properties (though it is appreciated)

[marble roost]

Early axes are very good for how early you can get them. Their combo is a bit long, but once you learn how to pull it off it's big DPS

Their block is quite lacking, but parrying with them is plenty doable on normal

[sharp nova]

mmm stagbreaker part 2

[barren rivet]

you dont? i got several clips with them and i feel like i always say how amazing they are at deleting bears

[sharp nova]

i forgor 0w0 🫠 >w<

[barren rivet]

if you parry a bear swipe with them you can literally do half their hp in one early axe combo

give or take depending on axe skill level, on hard i can delete half a bear with max early and like 50-ish skill

[marble roost]

Do 70% damage in one hit with bear claws 😎 > Do 50% damage in one combo with early axes

That does require 1) having bear claws and 2) sneak attacking tho 🤭

[barren rivet]

#memes-and-clips message
gross damage. i couldnt kill it this fast with a battleaxe not even close. early are amazing also vs elder cuz u cant stagger him anyway. also even tho you cant parry much you can preload the final swings and delete a thing when it gets to you, ive beem doing this with starred draugr a lot

[marble roost]

early axes seem nice for getting axe skill quickly

[barren rivet]

ohya, claw sneak is nutty

[barren rivet]

ya that too. they def have their weaknesses, i think just bronze axe/buckler is better vs things you cant parry, if bears didnt have a very weak swipe earlys would be worse

[sharp nova]

so early axes seem to be in a same but different spot to battleaxes, great as weapons decent for woodcutting?

[barren rivet]

and ya other things like bear claws are better in situations like crypts or strong single targets

[barren rivet]

ya about

earlys are FAR less versatile than battleaxe because they have almost no parry or stagger

but raw damage is huge

[sharp nova]

good to know.

thank you 👍

[marble roost]

Early axes probably take the crown on woodcutting because they're a meadows weapon with black forest level woodcutting capabilities (can cut pine and birch)

[sharp nova]

stone axe can cut pine iirc it's just dangerous because it's deep in black forest where the trolls are

[marble roost]

I could be wrong yea

I feel like I remember wanting to hold off on making bronze axe, but then I felt like I couldn't because I need corewood for cultivator. Could be myself inadvertently handicapping myself tho

[sharp nova]

i made the same mistake too 🤝

[agile delta]

do chickens need access to grass or something? or can i farm them in closed house on wooden floors

[red tartan]

Great question, I’m curious about chickens too

[mortal violet]

they just need food to eat to lay eggs

like seeds and flowers

[kind quiver]

@agile delta can farm them in closed house, even stone floor. Throw some seeds at them

[clear thicket]

I was crossing black forest at night and saw a humanoid shadow not far, when I got closer, it vanished, exactly like the crow giving the tutorials, what was that ? 🤔

[pseudo niche]

sounds like Odin

-# even though I have yet to encounter the dude

it's just an easter egg I suppose

[clear thicket]

Oh ok

[pseudo niche]

who is hugin tho

[marble roost]

Odin likes to watch over you from time to time

[clear thicket]

creepy x)

[pseudo niche]

stalking

[marble roost]

Hugin likes to come give you tips

[pseudo niche]

thank u hugin
you are my favorite point of interest tracker

[clear thicket]

^^

[clear thicket]

should I upgrade my buckler ? Does it improves the stagger of my parry ?

[thorn spire]

It improves the block armor, which is multiplied by the parry bonus, so you'll take less damage and block bigger hits.

[clear thicket]

Ok, wasn't sure the parry coefficient was multiplying the block value, thanks 🙂

[urban flare]

hello there. what kind of prep or skills would you recommend before going against the elder?

[vapid warren]

Have you made cauldron and mead ketill?

[drowsy crane]

I would recommend a strong bow, and learning to utilize cover. Other than that, don't rush the fight and learn the attack patterns.

[urban flare]

no, not yet. im guessing because of poitions and better food?

[vapid warren]

Yes

[urban flare]

thank you, i will keep thath in mind

[vapid warren]

Planted carrots?

[urban flare]

yes

though only out of curiosity

[vapid warren]

Alright, you can plant them again for more seeds

[urban flare]

oh. ok. that is cool. thank you

[sharp nova]

have an upgraded sword or axe and maybe practice dodging with T.W.I.G.

perhaps make some minor stamina and healing meads

[vapid warren]

1 seed turns to 1 carrot, 1 carrotvturns to 3 seeds

Amyway, youll find it much easier to fight elder if you make cauldron, mead ketill and fermenter

You need them in the next biome anyway

[urban flare]

oh. then i guess i will make something larger scale

thank you for the advice

[clear thicket]

Yeah heading to the mountains for the 1st time 😄

[willow raft]

It's cold, bring your warming mead.

[clear thicket]

Already in my inv 🙂

[urban flare]

is it possible to relocate those berry bushes?

[vapid warren]

No. You can mark thrm, mushrooms, thistles and just go for a speedrun to forage though

Since they respawn after a few days

[urban flare]

ok. is reasonable to place portals to these locations?

or is it a waste?

[drowsy crane]

I will create a portal chain for berry farming, where one end of the chain starts at my base, and leads through multiple berry patches-- then spits me out back home.

[spring gulch]

I go to one forest with over 50 bbs

[urban flare]

so is there 2 protals for each patch?

[drowsy crane]

#building-tips message
Here's a visual, yes 2 per patch, preferably so you can just run through and leave on the other side.

[vapid warren]

Probably worth it if the trip is a straight line instead of a circle

[urban flare]

because in a circle you would end up at home anyways?

[vapid warren]

Yeah

[urban flare]

that makes sense. i will farm surtling cores and then search for these patches

thank you all for this valuable advice 🙂

[drowsy crane]

Anytime 🫡

[vapid warren]

Hope you have some beehives too

[urban flare]

yea. i do have 4

[vapid warren]

Nice

[elder cypress]

is the jotun bane worth crafting?

me and my friend are playing a world, he already has the mistwalker and i really dont think its worth crafting

[snow marsh]

as a priority? no

but its alright and good for a bit of fun

[vapid warren]

Its fine for chopping wood

[elder cypress]

is mistwalker better

we have black metal axes though

[drowsy crane]

Jotun Bane looks good, but falls a bit short in the upgrade section, Black Metal Axe will do you just fine tool-wise.

[snow marsh]

its the kind of axe id bring with me because im traveling light and dont want an axe and my main weapon, mistwalker is better imo

[elder cypress]

my friend wants it for a primary weapon choice, but he already has the mistwalker

[drowsy crane]

Always do what you want in Valheim ultimately, plenty of time to try it all.

[vapid warren]

Its not a good weapon imo

[spring gulch]

The mist walker is bluer so its better imo

Its also amazing

[vapid warren]

Poison debuff doesnt stack and its slow

Sword also doesnt split damage in multitarget

[elder cypress]

@deft tree

[vapid warren]

And mistwalker has aslow and also pushes back the mist

[elder cypress]

ty

[snow marsh]

and also swords are cool

[vapid warren]

Yes it does frost damage

[elder cypress]

is it also worth crafting all 3 staffs for myself?

[vapid warren]

All 3? Theres 4

[elder cypress]

in the mistlands*

ill def do the ashlands one

[vapid warren]

Yeah theres 4 in mistlands

[elder cypress]

which ones?

[vapid warren]

I use all 4 tho

Ember, frost, protection, dead

[elder cypress]

oh i dont use dead

[vapid warren]

Great distractions at least solo

Plus protection can shield them too

[spring gulch]

Its also a sick decoration

[buoyant tusk]

I like the atgeirr

[cerulean moon]

does anyone know how i can change a mods language off of japanese to english?? i got a big huge box covering 1/4th of my screen with no way to close it and i cant understand the language

[vapid warren]

#mods-issues

[cerulean moon]

i couldnt find it so i just typed it here mb

[fast pivot]

i found all the ingridients to make the lox pie, cloudberry, lox meat uncooked and cooked and the flour. Why is it not letting me unlock it? I have level 5 cauldron and still nothing.

[spring gulch]

Food preparation table

[fast pivot]

i have it all

[elder cypress]

UNBAKED LOX PIE --> OVEN (sorry for caps)

[fast pivot]

i think i have the wrong flour lmao

wait no i dont. Yeah, the game is bugged. I have everything and it doesnt let me unlock it

its supposed to unlock so i can craft it then cooked it in the oven but doesnt unlock for some odd reason

wait im an idiot

[vapid warren]

Do you have barley or flour?

[fast pivot]

i make it in the food prep

no no i got it, Im just an idiot lmao

[vapid warren]

No windmill?

[willow raft]

Do the same with surtling spawners, make sure the spawner has water under and around it then build portal 20+ meters away and portal in and out and get surtlign cores and coal.

[fast pivot]

i do, i have everything. I just didnt know it was made in the food prep lmao

[urban flare]

i do not know what surtling spawners are, but i will comeback when i see one. thank you

[low glade]

Permanent little fire pits in the swamp. Those little flamey bois pop out of them.

[urban flare]

i am currently in the black forest. preping for the elder. does the swamp come after?

[low glade]

Swamp is canonically the next biome after black forest. However, if you're a silly goose, you can run into any biome whenver you come across it.

Tumble weeding across the plains to bait the mobs to fight the mobs from the swamp is a legitimate tactic.

[urban flare]

xD. that seems to be tiring. but the idea sounds fun

[urban flare]

so there are no barriers between biomes in this game?

[upper flax]

Technically no but also yes

[urban flare]

hmm. is there a skill restiction or something similar?

[low glade]

Sometimes there's water separating islands with the later game biomes. Later, there's spicy water.

[urban flare]

thats cool. i guess you would need better ships then

[marble roost]

That's a fair conclusion

Time will tell

[snow marsh]

lemme ride a ||serpent||

[marble roost]

I've tried it

Not a very smooth ride

[buoyant tusk]

Once rode a bear, that was fun (I play with no mods)

[subtle parrot]

But have you rode a drake? Lol

[true steeple]

Voltures are pretty good

[frosty frost]

Deathsquitos too

[subtle parrot]

Haven't tried either of them before lol

[true steeple]

deathsquitos will be harder to control because they circle you, voltures try to move into you more

[spring mural]

Alright, I'm about halfway through Mistlands, got Refined Eitr setup and stuff, I'be made my Carapace Armor Level 3, and Himminafl, but I want to try out Magic, is it worth getting into Magic? I've seen conflicting information online about it being OP Busted, and "might aswell just stick to melee"

[marble roost]

I've tried drakes, love them

Deathsquitoes Idk, there's just something uncanny about their look. Don't want to ride them

[frosty frost]

Imo it is easier and safer to use than melee when you understand how it works and learn to use it well. But i still enjoy melee more 🙂

[spring mural]

Like I'm guessing if I go Magic, I should use the full Robes setup, with the Shield Staff, and then like an Elemental staff? or both?

[frosty frost]

It would be preferable to get the full robes set, shield staff and at least the Staff of Embers. Tho when i do play mage i take also the frost staff

[spring mural]

Then like 2 Eitr foods and 1 HP food?

[marble roost]

I think the general consensus is that magic is a lot easier and safer than melee, while still doing high damage

Although there are some that have gotten very engrained in the melee playstyle and have a hard time getting used to a different playstyle

[true steeple]

You don't need any health with the staff of protection

[marble roost]

Also some people that just don't find magic fun after a while, even if powerful. and then might recommend melee even if weaker

[frosty frost]

Usually 2 E and 1 S. As Blob said staff of protection makes it so you dont really need extra hp

[spring mural]

And I just cast my bubble everytime It drops?

[frosty frost]

Yep, pretty much

[marble roost]

I'd like to butt in and say Fenris armor is actually very nice as a mage too

[spring mural]

and it can take 2 hits? like the Shamans from Plains?

[frosty frost]

I would not go full fenris tho, even while i am sure it will work too, the eitr regen is just nice as a mage 🙂

[true steeple]

The shields break after an amount of damage, not hits

[frosty frost]

It has certain ammount of hp

[spring mural]

Ah

[true steeple]

the staff of protection takes 200-700 depending on blood magic skill

[spring mural]

Is that calculated with Armor then?

[true steeple]

and it is neutral to all damage types including pickaxe, chop and spirit which players are immune to

[true steeple]

before armor and blocking

you can parry any blockable attack because you won't take staggering damage, but the full damage of that parried attack will go into the shield

when the shield breaks extra damage won't go through, so you're safe from any single hit

[spring mural]

Ah

I will try it tomorrow I guess, even if it's just to mix up gameplay a bit

Is there any point to upgrading the robes? I'm guessing actually the more you upgrade them, the higher the eitr regen is

[true steeple]

it only increases armor points and durability like any other armor

[spring mural]

ah

[echo garden]

do you need stone portals at both sides to be able to teleport metal?

[frosty frost]

Nope, only on the side you teleport with the metal from

[barren rivet]

definitely try magic because it’s neat and in the game, at least in mistlands. your weapons make me worry for ashlands because my first time i found atgier and magic very bad against the mobs there until progressing into ashlands gear, many mobs resist pierce and stagger very briefly. imo the best early ashlands weapon is krom or mistwalker

[frosty frost]

I honestly found mistlands tier magic easier to do ashlands with than mistlands melee gear 🤔

[barren rivet]

thats so strange to me, did you do melee first then magic after you knew the biome?

[frosty frost]

Yep, melee in early PTB, then one more playthrough with melee when it was out of ptb and them playthrough with magic

[sinful moth]

But even ||with gems||?

[frosty frost]

||Gems|| dont come into play until you are in ashlands 😄 we are talking mistlands gear

[sinful moth]

Wait nvm

[barren rivet]

i did nothing but recast bubble on myself while everything instantly broke it again. or against a single charred warrior just draining my entire eityr bar for 10 seconds before it died then id have to run around waiting for it to recharge while spending eityr to also recast bubble

and then icame back with sword and shield and was like how was this hard the first time zero deaths

maybe its just the game knowledge factor and i meed to just use magic again to give it a fair try

[frosty frost]

I had some number of deaths using both playstyles, but noticably less with using magic 🙂
In retrospect it could maybe be atributed to doing the biome for third time already, but then again i never before used magic, so that would balance it out somehow imo.

[subtle parrot]

I went sword and shield the first time, and while i found it more difficult and i died more than with magic, i preferred sword and shield

[frosty frost]

Same here 😄

Melee is just more fun for me

[barren rivet]

it just feels so bad draining my entire eityr bar on a non star mob walking at me just staring at his health bar like go downnnn fasterrrrrrrr

when i could just krom thrust it twice

[frosty frost]

The only ones that do that are morgens and valkyries no? Even non starred warriors go down very fast when you can focus on them singularly.

Oh, comapared to Krom it might have been quite slow

[barren rivet]

not that i remember, but i didnt omega grind elemental it was whatever it was just progressing through mistlands

[frosty frost]

Heh, i came to ashlands with pretty much zero magic stats iirc xD
-# Also part of the reason i tell people levels arent THAT important (the extra 500hp you can get for the bubble shield is really nice tho xd)

[hushed sigil]

That’s why I don’t do magic at all and just true Viking it around Ashlands hack n slash style with a crossbow for early engage if possible

[wraith adder]

does the game get harder everyday??

[snow marsh]

nope

[narrow python]

only if you die too much and lose skills

[sharp nova]

the game gets harder with more defeated bosses
(||and hildir's quests||)

[limpid forum]

Any terraforming tips? Idk why but the flatten feature on the hoe isnt playing nice with me

[golden moss]

tried using pickaxe and then the hoe ?

[snow marsh]

honestly, just that its more an art than a science. to get truly flat space youll need both pick and hoe, dont be afraid to pickaxe pesky lumps that seem small, usually it will flatten out better than you think and even if you do crater it, filling in is pretty straightforward

[golden moss]

exactly that, when its not flat using the hoe, it might be because of rocks (stones) underground
Which is fixed by using pickaxe one time and after that the hoe
god logic in valheim

[fast pivot]

i spawned in glowing mushrooms but for some reason it was the pickable ones and now my base doesnt stop glowing

how do i fix this?

[stoic trench]

Is the issue that the mushrooms keep respawning?

[fallow delta]

What weapon and armor should i use to defeat Bonemass

[stoic trench]

Blunt damage does well against him, personally I recommend the iron mace. Iron armor or root should do just fine, but you’ll always want to have poison resist.

The most important thing is your diet- make sure you’re bringing solid food.

[snow marsh]

just because you said that im bringing muck shake, queens jam and honey

[stoic trench]

No!! Those aren’t solid enough! 😭

[fast pivot]

No like I spawned in glowing mushrooms but they are unbreakable item

And I spawned 600 in one spot. So my question was how do I undo this?

[pseudo niche]

I think forcedelete should work?

[vapid warren]

forcedelete 25 glowingmushroom

[fast pivot]

whats the 25 for?

25 meters"?

[vapid warren]

Yep

And you cant specify objects without radius first

If you dont specify objects it will delete anything within a few meters

[neat oak]

Why can I not find copper deposits? I have ran all around the Black Forest and hit like every really big rock and cannot find one? Sorry I don’t have much time on this game

[vapid warren]

Do you look closely at the big flat boulders?

[neat oak]

Won’t let me attach a pic imma dm you if that’s cool

[vapid warren]

You can post in #screenshots

[neat oak]

Posted it in there

[vapid warren]

Cant reslly make it out. Anyway theres two versions of that boulder. The copper version has thin metallic lines and say "copper deposit" when you hover over them

[neat oak]

Yeah idk, every big rock similar to this hasn’t said anything so I’m not sure what to do

Went to 2 different black Forrest too

[hushed sigil]

We literally use a mod for more copper deposits because they are very sparse and time sucking to find them. I get the reason but QoL reasons rather just have more often spawning in.

[neat oak]

What website do you use for mods?

[hushed sigil]

Thunderstore. Make sure to only install one at a time and test it out, save ur world before using new mod etc as some can break stuff.

[floral frigate]

anybody got any solid advice on finding one of the leviathans? i ABSOLUTELY cant stand sailing and havent been able to find one yet for me to make the abyssal knife or could someone drop me some abyssal barnacles?

[snow marsh]

they will only spawn in or on the border of the actual biome of ocean - usually pretty far from shore, but there are instances where its a little closer

[floral frigate]

yeah ive sailed around and out a bit but cant stand the way to drive a boat in this game XD usually it's one of my buddies driving it but we couldnt find one earlier and gave up

[snow marsh]

if im actively looking for them i just cut middle-ish paths through any deep parts of ocean, and keep a stack of arrows in case free food shows up too

[floral frigate]

i'll try to keep in mind they're in deeper parts of the ocean

[marble roost]

Dunno if anyone will join to drop them, but you can spawn things in pretty easily

That said using cheats / spawning is a slippery slope and I’d generally recommend beating your ocean aversion

After some time in the ocean you may also be able to make a trinket allowing you to swim medium-long distances, instead of sailing

[snow marsh]

you can reply to me, i just cant feed you too much or theyll find some way to blame me for whatever the punchline is

good luck tho

[floral frigate]

what items do you need for said trinket?

and or name of said trinket XD

[marble roost]

Leviathan and serpent drops

Theyre called fins of destiny

[main rose]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-dance-sea-lion-gif-18060641275691946665

[marble roost]

You will have to kill the serpent by shore tho because some of its drops sink

[main rose]

Can you guys figure out what this is

[floral frigate]

ahhhhhh gotcha thanks for the info

[jolly tapir]

I run into a dozen every forest feels like lol

[marble roost]

Yeah saying they're sparse seems... odd

Maybe if you actively have 10 people on there's not enough?

I think its generally acknowledged that mining copper takes forevah tho

[potent niche]

This why you get the best employee, the troll to do it for you👍

[jolly tapir]

Is there anyway of guessing where a muddy scrap pile might be buried in the swamp? I am just pickaxing all over the swamp at this point

[next ivy]

Before bonemass, stagbreaker, wooden mallet, or iron sledge

look for zeros

[marble roost]

After bonemass, wishbone

Though unless you're doing a no-boss no-exploit run or something, I would just go for crypts

[willow raft]

Do you completely mine them or only scrape the top.
Most of the copper is hidden under the ground and you should be getting like around 80-120 ore from a node if I remember correctly.

To get everything that you might want from copper, meaning all crafting station upgrades, all tools and 2-3 weapons you will need 2 high yield nodes or 3 normal ones.

[hushed sigil]

Oh I usually go for the ones not near the water and mine underneath the whole thing, then bop it on some part of it and it all explodes in one go. Super fun, and you get a bunch of stone also for making stuff.
The nodes usually have like 1m extra outside them that counts as “touching ground” so I dig a bit more till it goes pop.
Or sometimes I get my big blue friend to help with his immortal tree

[willow raft]

Yeah about double the stone than copper ore.

[marble roost]

I've never found "bop"ing copper nodes worth it. Fun once or twice, but it's just annoying and time consuming to get quite right

Nowadays I mostly just hit the exposed parts of 3-4 nodes then head on to iron age. Feels faster to me than digging the whole thing out, or relying on troll spawn rng and bringing it over

Trolls are pretty fast though, but I like getting pickaxe levels too

[jolly tapir]

Ye it's just we haven't done elder yet on this playthrough, but my main base is usually made of stone so I needed a stonecutter. Got 4 iron plenty for now 😂

[willow raft]

If you place a finewood chair as close as you can to a gate of a crypt and then set down and stand up repeatedly you can get into a crypt without the need for a key.
You just have to clip the boundary that takes you into the crypt just once and tada inside a crypt without a key.

[karmic agate]

i was wondering about the amount of time/reward given into this practice as there's lots of copper nodes all over black forests

unless only a few were in a travelling distance of a base so it's better to utilize the node fully

[barren rivet]

i also dont dig the whole thing out, the pieces only get larger the deeper they go so there’s also less reward for excavating, most of the copper is surface-ish. trolls really are great, you want the unarmed ones. i mark copper nodes with a big wood X and wait to find a troll while going about other business. their down smash hits deep and wide and 2 smashes breaks a copper chunk so just have them smash around in pairs of smashes, it takes a few minutes for a whole node.

[wraith adder]

carrying them is the greatest issue

[marble roost]

With eikthyr power and a base near black forest I find it to be pretty quick

[hollow tide]

Hi guys, in this group can you buy or sell game items or is it not allowed?

[wraith adder]

can u even sell valheim items

[frosty frost]

Why would you when commands can give you any item?

[hollow tide]

How can you get all the items and then use them online with other players?

[frosty frost]

Quite easily, but first, why would you need to do that?

[hollow tide]

To make the game more fun with my friends

[frosty frost]

Is one of you hosting the game? Or are you on dedicated server?

[hollow tide]

Excuse me, what's the difference between the two?

[frosty frost]

If one player is hosting then he has to always select to start the world as a server and then others can join him. Dedicated server allows anyone to join anytime even when nobody is online.

[hollow tide]

I understand, thanks. I'd like to connect to dedicated servers where anyone can join, but so far I haven't found anyone, and furthermore, no one has informed me that you can get all the game's items without crafting online with other players, even if they're not friends. Right?

[frosty frost]

You can get all items using commands, true. There is also a way to get them even when you are playing on a dedicated server where you cant use commands. But i would strongly advise to first discuss with other players playing on the same server if they want you to get any items that way.

[hollow tide]

Ok Michal thank you for all

[hollow tide]

Thank you mate

[vapid warren]

I mean theres people who sell valheim items but its just a scam lol

[frosty frost]

They could have meant in-game trading 😄
Tho that is quite unnecessary and i wouldnt mind saying even dumb, if it isnt a part of roleplaying on a server where everyone agrees what has what value and agree not to use commands.

[vapid warren]

Trading with other players for other ingame items is much more thr spirit

[vapid warren]

Ebay valheim items were a thing on day one lol

[frosty frost]

Ooof...

[hollow tide]

Nice

[vapid warren]

Yeah no. Waste of money

[sharp nova]

[limpid forum]

So
uh
bears
any tips when you got nothing good to fight with and they’re assaulting your wagon?

[true steeple]

do you not even have a flint axe? slash damage is best for them

[limpid forum]

Ah, aight didn’t know there were damage types

Yeah i got a flint spear and axe. Tried the spear and it tickled it

Why does everything hate my cart : (

[pseudo niche]

carts are cursed

[potent niche]

Yes

Carts are the holy grail of evil

[snow marsh]

they did an ai targeting change at one point and now they HATE your material goods

[potent niche]

The devil himself came up with carts

[buoyant tusk]

The ai is weird

[snow marsh]

honestly its very on brand for greydwarves specifically

[buoyant tusk]

Why does everything attack the boats tho

[potent niche]

They want you to be trapped in the island forever

[limpid forum]

Speaking of the ai is there no way to deaggro stuff?

[potent niche]

nope just run away

[limpid forum]

This goddamn bear tracked me all the way to base even when it pissed off back into the woods

[limpid forum]

Thats annoying

[potent niche]

use a torch, bears won't attack you than

You can just equip a torch and than kill the bear

[buoyant tusk]

I think it’s because the ai counts that as a part of the players ‘clan’ and attacks it cause necks and boars of all things attack it

[snow marsh]

sort of, i forget the precise details but essentially their priorities got shifted around which manifests especially when youre not right next to the stuff they could be attacking

and even then sometimes

there was a time they would hard focus you even with structures around, but they were very cheesable then too

[buoyant tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/sitting-standing-laying-down-all-at-the-same-time-magical-gif-14170199880358196522

[true steeple]

they lose interest if they can’t trigger an attack for long enough, so it’s harder to do with ranged enemies

[buoyant tusk]

mmmmh…

[potent niche]

Tell that to the draugr archers

I swr mfs would never stop chasing me

[true steeple]

they can run pretty fast and attack up to 20m away

so you need to stay out of 20m for long enough

[buoyant tusk]

Why are they so fast?

[potent niche]

Because the swamp is meant to be a pain

[buoyant tusk]

lol

[potent niche]

I ain't joking that's deadass the reason

[snow marsh]

they live in the swamps their legs gotta be made of steel

[potent niche]

The swamp is meant to be a curve to prepare the players for the future biomes

[buoyant tusk]

How tf do you kill an abomination? With fire or an axe

[snow marsh]

sword

[potent niche]

With a sword

[true steeple]

any slash damage is good, not just axes

1h axes are terrible weapons

[potent niche]

you can one shot them with a sword actually

There is a trick to it

[buoyant tusk]

That…that doesn’t make sense

[potent niche]

Oh it does, I done it before

only needs 3 factors

[buoyant tusk]

I’m very confused

[potent niche]

Have sword skill at 100, have Lightning Nidhögg, and backstab him

[buoyant tusk]

Shouldn’t it be weaker to axes cause it’s a giant tree?

[potent niche]

It's Valheim so no

[buoyant tusk]

nidhögg???

I’m confused

[potent niche]

Oh yes probably top 3 weapons in the game

[true steeple]

early axes are good, not bronze axe

[buoyant tusk]

axe is my default weapon

[potent niche]

that's if the valheim gods bless him with that

[true steeple]

make a battleaxe as soon as you can

both kinds of 2h axe are good, it’s just 1h that’s relatively weak

[buoyant tusk]

I have a sword but I’d rather just use an axe

[potent niche]

Use the sword

especially the secondary, it does 3x damage

[buoyant tusk]

But I like 1h axe cause I can use a shield

[potent niche]

you can use a shield with a sword as well

[buoyant tusk]

I don’t care for the swords

[true steeple]

the secondary attack is the main thing that makes 1h axes so weak, it’s only 50% extra damage which isn’t enough for the slow speed

[potent niche]

😭

[pseudo niche]

is it better to use secondary sword attack instead of spam slashing?

[buoyant tusk]

I’d rather use an axe

[potent niche]

Depends on the enemy you are fighting

[true steeple]

give battleaxes a try, the high staggering and knockback are great for keeping you safe without a shield

[potent niche]

For example in the Ashlands the secondary is better after a parry because the enemies have reduced stagger duration

[potent niche]

nooooo they must go with the way of the sword🔥

The sword is the way💯

[buoyant tusk]

mmmh… nah, I’ll use mi 1h axe

[potent niche]

Quite literally the worst weapon choice but if you want to go ahead

[snow marsh]

ive done pure axe runs, its perfectly playable but it will feel exhausting at some parts

[buoyant tusk]

I immediately upgraded my axe to iron before my sword cause I had the early axes for a while

[potent niche]

Like I said, it's the worst weapon choice but it is still a weapon that can kill so it works

As long as you can kill stuff with it, than it's a usable weapon

[marble roost]

Gotta disagree on 1h-axe being the worst weapon choice, though I agree there's often better alternatives

1h-axe is gonna imo do more work than spears against a lot of pierce resistant enemies, and especially some of the bosses

[potent niche]

Ngl besides bosses I rather use a spear against even pierce resistant enemies

The axe is just too damn slow and it's secondary is garbage

The only good thing the axe has you need it to chop down trees so you might as well fight with it

[ripe fjord]

Looking for someone to play Valheim with

[snow marsh]

#1024264966712340510

[marble roost]

Depends on the enemy for me. In swamp I like spear because the only pierce resistant enemies are blobs and skellies, which aren't big threats and don't have much health

Against stone golems though or most Ashlands mobs, I find spear a pain

[potent niche]

Pierce in general in Ashlands is just not very viable

[marble roost]

Fact

I guess the 1h axe options for Ashlands aren't great either, but I still feel like I would prefer them. At the minimum until getting an enchanted Ashlands spear

[potent niche]

Enchant on the spear ain't worth it tbh

I am saving mine for when the Deep North drop and I could upgrade the Black Forge more

To use it on my other weapons

lvl 4 lightning berserker axes go brrr

[marble roost]

If your choice is jotun bane or lightning spear, it might be? I haven't looked at the numbers / tried out either in Ashlands tho

I would prob lean towards the axe

[potent niche]

you can't enchant jotun bane tho?

Also Jotun Bane dealing poison damage sucks ass

Nerfs it pretty heavily

[tired root]

I find Primal/Thundering Splitnir very neat in Ashlands, but that's subjective opinion of mine.

[potent niche]

I mean enchanted weapons are nice especially with the fast attack speed of the spear

[true steeple]

the spear is good to immobilise enemies before swapping to another weapon for damage

[potent niche]

I am just waiting on the Deep North to drop to see which weapons are best geared for there

Than upgrading them. with all the saved resources

[marble roost]

which is why it's a choice.

Lightning spear OR Jotun bane. Not lightning jotun bane

[tired root]

Killing Morgen with Thundering Splitnir when rng giveths the huge chain lightning is pretty fun.

[marble roost]

Though I agree they both for sure suck in Ashlands. But I think the initial discussion was whether anything sucked more than 1h axes

[tired root]

Jotun spear.

[potent niche]

jotun bane sucks ahh, poison damage is pretty useless

[true steeple]

poison damage and 1h axe moveset on the same weapon

[potent niche]

I'd take the lightning spear, the 75 fixed lighning damage suits the fast attack speed

[potent niche]

Just asking to not be used lmao

[stable finch]

Nidhögg the thundering is peak ashlands weapon

#screenshots message why doesn't game allow me to build anything on top of those short beams?

wanted to place a thatch roof and it breaks as soon as i place it, same with wooden floor

not being able to place images here sucks btw

[snow marsh]

likely at your build limit for the materials used, the best way i can think to tldr it is that from your ground piece (blue) you have x amount of distance you can keep going with pieces until its too unsound to place more

the distance increases or decreases based on the pieces youre using, and some pieces can count as ground for others, like stone and iron beams

[tired root]

Are the beams red colored? Then they might not be able to support building pieces further up.

[karmic agate]

what do i do to solve this?

[tired root]

Unfortunately lots of scam spammers bombed this channel which is why embeds were removed temporarily.

[snow marsh]

better materials, core wood goes farther, iron beams are extremely durable but expensive

[tired root]

If you have corewood you could try supporting those with 4m poles.

[karmic agate]

i don't want to have beams underneath, can i do this from the sides somehow? across the roof
corewood is no issue

[tired root]

You could try supporting the walls and roof up to that point with corewood.

[karmic agate]

how, using diagonal supports?

ok, nvm, i will just there beams along the stairs that go up

one issue that one pillar is protruding from my roof

[tired root]

What I meant is placing vertical poles through wall and 45° poles through roof up to that point for support.

[karmic agate]

I have only 26 degree poles for some reason

[tired root]

Available? Both 26° and 45° should be.

[sharp nova]

is jotun bane designed to be a combat viable 1h axe

[tired root]

Sadly poison damage is inferior to other damage over time damage types since it doesn't stack.

[sharp nova]

so it fails its design

[marble roost]

I'd assume so, seems like all weapons other than like pickaxe and harpoon are meant for combat. And Jotunn bane doesn't allow you to chop any trees that blackmetal doesn't, and poison doesn't help you cut trees, so it certainly doesn't seem like it was made just for woodcutting

[sharp nova]

how does jotun bane compare to blackmetal axe for woodcutting

[tired root]

Jotun Bane has higher chop damage than blackmetal axe.

So it will cut wood better.

But like said it cuts the same trees as blackmetal so it is not necessary axe update for blackmetal.

[sharp nova]

nodnod

berserkir axes are a more straightforward upgrade, right?

or was it skol and hati?

[tired root]

Berserkir axes can be used for both combat and woodcutting effectively.

[sharp nova]

yepyep

[tired root]

Currently axe(s) with highest chop damage would be base Berserker axes at quality 3.

Gem variant weapons can only be upgraded to quality 2.

[sharp nova]

second highest is jotun's bane?

[tired root]

Yeah.

[sharp nova]

👍

[marble pagoda]

wtf is jotun bane even for

[tired root]

Woodcutting.

[marble pagoda]

does it even do that better than bm axe

[vapid warren]

10 more chop damage per rank

[tired root]

It's tier higher despite requiring iron.

[marble pagoda]

for more stamina per swing
yea idk man

[frosty frost]

-# Not that the higher tier is usefull for anything...

[barren rivet]

1 hand axes are for leveling your axe skill and saving on bronze til you get battleaxe

[marble pagoda]

maybe at some point ashwood was supposed to require a Jotun bane

anyone manage to chop some ashwood with a wooden axe
highly recommend it, you can do the full axe combo on trees

[vapid warren]

Tier higher chop damage? Wiki lists them as 4 both

Berserkir is 2 higher than both

[tired root]

I meant like biome tiers, plains vs Mistlands.

Sorry for confusion.

[vapid warren]

Ok lol

[tired root]

Not Tool tiers.

[marble pagoda]

oh lmfao

[sharp nova]

is blackmetal axe required for yggdrasil roots
