Looking better.

[vapid warren]

+1 cool stat

[sharp nova]

i thought ||shingles weren't damaged by rain||.

[tired root]

Roof tiles are not.

[sharp nova]

darn

[pearl glade]

[sharp nova]

just use devcommands on another character

[pearl glade]

thats my best character

[sharp nova]

then don't.
rise and grind krell

[spring mural]

I just sorted a Magic build out, got my Blood magic to 50, gonna try get my Elemental to around the same using Frost against the golem method, Is magic viable to kill the queen? I never fought her before.

[pearl glade]

its kinda late where i am andi dont feel tho go 30min to swamp and then mountain biome and i asked becouse someone dont mind

[elder cypress]

can the staff of protection kill you? like if you use it if your below 40% does it let you do it and kill yourself or does it say you cannot do that

[marble pagoda]

you can't, it's -40% of your current hp

[elder cypress]

ohh okay thanks

[potent niche]

You can kill it with magic

[native reef]

does fire frighten boars?

[vapid warren]

Yes

[sharp nova]

not tames

[vapid warren]

Yeah that

[native reef]

no I ask because I'm trying to tame one. will a tamed one frighten a wild one? will two wild ones frighten each other if in the same pen?

is there a certain distance I need to be from them to tame them? I know if I go too far they just get unloaded

[vapid warren]

Fire frightens it, tamed boars do not

[sharp nova]

will they attack tamed boars?

[vapid warren]

Depends on how loud and visible you are

[vapid warren]

No

[tired root]

Same species won't attack each other.

Tamed or not.

[sharp nova]

that's good to know thank you

[vapid warren]

That would make taming even worse

[tired root]

Although ||asksvin|| can hurt each other since they deal friendly fire, which happens if they are close to each other and trying to attack building structures.

[vapid warren]

Yeah but they wont fight each other

[sharp nova]

while we're here

do single star wolves ever appear in mountains during the day?

[vapid warren]

No

[sharp nova]

single star wolves can be tamed even though they're night spawns, then, right?

[vapid warren]

Before mistlands, all mobs have the same rules for 1 and 2 stars i think

[vapid warren]

I dont understand what you mean. Both 1 and 2 star wolves can be tamed at night

If they hit 1% taming the despawn and fear at day will go away

[sharp nova]

ok.

[sharp nova]

i was worried night wolves were like raid wolves and were guarunteed angry as long as they exist

[vapid warren]

No if that was the case you couldn't tame them

[sharp nova]

i wasn't sure

thanks for explaining

[vapid warren]

Early 2021 night wolves would despawn even if tamed, so you couldnt leave them during the day before you bred them

[sharp nova]

gotcha.

have a good day

[marble roost]

Queen Kate is going to be Queen of the Wolves

[scenic narwhal]

hey guys im a returning player to valheim (played the game at launch) and im completely lost and wanted to know if anyone has any guides they reccomend to help newcomers either YT videos or even steam forum guides?

[tired root]

Yeah, they don't target each others but can target structures near them, which can hurt each other in process.

[tired root]

Best guide is Hugin.

[vapid warren]

Indeed

[potent niche]

Dying👍

[vapid warren]

And the messages of new unlocks top left when you pick up new items

[scenic narwhal]

ive managed to get myself a basic house or two and just got to the black forest but im struggling to figure out how to progress as everything in the black forest just makes me feel like im too under leveled and under geared

[vapid warren]

What do you have atm, we can give pointers

[potent niche]

Make a bow, kill a troll, make troll armor and repeat the process

[scenic narwhal]

i havent seen a single troll yet

[potent niche]

Than get a torch and a flint axe and kill a bear

[scenic narwhal]

killed elkdeer like 7 times

[potent niche]

you killed elder 7 times before you saw a troll??

[scenic narwhal]

what does a torch do to a bear

[tired root]

Have you killed the first boss yet?

[scenic narwhal]

and yeah i havent seen a single troll

[potent niche]

The big guy is scared of torches so he doesn't attack you

[sharp nova]

read the runestones they reveal helpful hints

[scenic narwhal]

yes ive killed the first boss about 7-8 times

[tired root]

Eikthyr? Once would be enough.

[sharp nova]

0w0 wowzer.

couldve upgraded stagbreaker

[vapid warren]

Have you crafted metal weapons and tools?

[tired root]

But, you need to make pickaxe and start looking for materials to mine.

[scenic narwhal]

im trying to but im struggling to enter the black forest

ive made a kiln but ive only found 1 dungeon

[potent niche]

Parry and kill the enemies

Than find more

You need more cores for sure

[marble roost]

*Eikthyr

[vapid warren]

Trolls are weak to arrows and spears, skeletons to torches and clubs, bears to axes and swords

[scenic narwhal]

every time i take 1 step into the forest either i get absolutely shit rolled by a huge pack of wolves or i get caught between a bear and a horde of gob witches

[potent niche]

dawg wolves in the bf??

[tired root]

Huh, wolves are residents in mountains which is later biome to enter.

[scenic narwhal]

q,q ive managed to build a house right outside the black forest but its under constant attack from roaming gob packs

[potent niche]

Goblin packs??

[tired root]

Greydwarves probably.

[marble roost]

Or greydwarves

[scenic narwhal]

aparently my world gen has the black forest and mountains really close together

[potent niche]

go find another bf

[scenic narwhal]

oof

[potent niche]

Wolves are too annoying to deal with early on before getting an atgeir

[vapid warren]

Stay away from the mountakn, unless to use the wolves to kill the others

[scenic narwhal]

any tips to handle wolves?

[potent niche]

atgeir works the best on them

[vapid warren]

Run away

[potent niche]

Or you can parry with a shield but that's harder

[scenic narwhal]

ive tried to out run them but they seem faster

[potent niche]

Hard for someone with a low skill level and stamina in that stage

[vapid warren]

You are on second biome, wolves are 4th biome. Run to black forest enemies and let the wolves kill them

[potent niche]

Or just don't go to that area in general and find a new bf

Valheim is an exploration game for a reason

[vapid warren]

Yeah thats probably smart

[potent niche]

You can get payback on those wolvves afterwards

[scenic narwhal]

as far as copper goes im only just getting my first copper

how do i turn it into tools?

[tired root]

Mining near mountain can attract wolves.

[potent niche]

You need to make it into bronze which you aslo need tin for

[vapid warren]

You need to find tin along the water

[potent niche]

2 copper, 1 tin = 1 bronze

[vapid warren]

2 copper*

[potent niche]

oops yeah

[scenic narwhal]

my base is luckily right next to 2 huge copper veins on the surface

[potent niche]

Also never make bronze armor

[tired root]

Smelter is required to smelt ores to metal bars.

[vapid warren]

You can if you want to but armor increase is negligible and you will be slower

[barren rivet]

bronze armor is fine if you are incapable of killing large mobs for their hides without more armor, which they might be

[potent niche]

Bears literally don't attack you if you have a torch, they are easier to kill than boars at that point

Trolls are weak to pierce so a bow and arrow can kill it safely from a distance

[vapid warren]

Oh btw bears and regular greydwarves are also afraid of fire

[potent niche]

They still throw stone tho annoyingly

[scenic narwhal]

got one of those

i got 6 copper bars so far

been farming wood turning it into charcoal on campfires and making bars

[potent niche]

that's just a painfull process, go find more cores and make a Kilin

[vapid warren]

You can swap between charcoal kiln and smelter btw

Deconstruct and build the other until you have 10 cores

[barren rivet]

yes but they seem confused about what to do and are fighting wolves for some reason id give different advice to different people

[scenic narwhal]

oh no the bear advice is extremely useful info

i have like 3 bears that live/roam near my house gotta do alot of sneaking to get past them when i go out hunting for food

[vapid warren]

I heard some people trap thrm between 4 walls on top of campfires lol

[potent niche]

Way too advanced for a new player

[vapid warren]

Yeah lol

[potent niche]

Although it does work really well

Just gotta hope that other stuff doesn't interfere beforehand

[vapid warren]

Anyway, play it careful, play the factions against one another. Use club, axe and bow depending on the enemy

Look for carrot seeds and dungeons

[potent niche]

ooo yes carrot seets are very important

[vapid warren]

Stay away from the mpuntain unless chased by many enemies

[potent niche]

It's just gambling at that point

Will the wolves kill you, will the bf kill you or will they kill each other

[vapid warren]

Do you have the dual axes? They can be found in 2 different buildings in meadows

[barren rivet]

sure, that they fear fire is great advice, but their advice is kill them for armor instead of bronze armor, but i gather you’re much closer to having bronze than lots of bear hide i just wanted to amend them saying never make bronze armor

[scenic narwhal]

dual axes? havent found those yet

[potent niche]

Only if Odin blesses them with all his might can those things be found early on😭

[vapid warren]

2 different axesheads that can be found in meadows building chests and can be combined

[potent niche]

You need the curious axe head and the mysterious axe head to craft an early axe

[scenic narwhal]

i found 1 axe head

[potent niche]

If you find another one, you'll aquire the strongest early game weapon

[scenic narwhal]

ive found 2 mysterious axe heads actually

XD whats my luck right?

[potent niche]

do you have the curious axe head?

[scenic narwhal]

nope havent found one of those

[vapid warren]

Find both and youll have a really good weapon

[potent niche]

mhm

[vapid warren]

You wont need to make brlnze axe

[scenic narwhal]

wtf... i legit dont find any trolls in almost 5 hours of gameplay but now i say i havent found any and i INSTANTLY get attacked by one

pffffft

[potent niche]

free hides, get a bow and kill it

[scenic narwhal]

i did i murderfied that boxtroll

[barren rivet]

they’re scary but just learn their attack, they’re pretty limited and predictable. vulnerable to spear and bow

[scenic narwhal]

i just ran it around a tree and shot its kneecaps

[barren rivet]

sweet, you just got mats
for a 6 armor piece of your choice

[scenic narwhal]

he used to be a troll... till he took 100 arrows to the knees

also what do i do with a troll trophie

also im in meadows glade vc if anyone wants to hop in and look at my scuffed setup

[vapid warren]

They take extra damage in the face lol

[echo jackal]

Good morning

I have a question about home base defenses

What's a better defense for a base? A moat, earthen walls, or a combo of both?

[frosty frost]

Strictly for defense combo would be best

For estetic purposes, that is subjective.

[tired root]

Both would be best/overkill, nowadays I make either moat or raised ground for base area.

[echo jackal]

Last night, while I was playing, I was tending to my base in the Dark Forest when I suddenly saw a blue giant troll. It's the first time I've seen something like that

[faint osprey]

both work well depends on the terrain like if you are near water an earth wall is better since you cant dig deep

[spring gulch]

Make friends w it

[echo jackal]

Luckily, I had my moat in place, and I was able to pick it off slowly with wooden arrows

The next night, I was caught off guard in the woods, and another giant troll attacked me

I ran as fast as I could back to base, and accidentally fell into my moat

[potent niche]

damnnn

[echo jackal]

well, the giant troll fell in, but I was able to get out of my moat and into my base

I thought the moat was deep enough for the troll NOT to get out of

But then all of a sudden, he starts swinging this huge log WHILE IN THE MOAT and destroys my outer palisade walls

and then somehow gets himself out of the moat and into the perimeter

[spring mural]

Is there a better way to Level elemental Magic, or is Ice Golem in a Pit just the way to go, or is it better just running around plains setting Fuelings on fire?

It feels really really slow

[echo jackal]

and just starts killing me over and over and over

[frosty frost]

Golem + ice is still best pretty much, afaik

[echo jackal]

There's gotta be a better way to defend than to start grind-digging

[tired root]

You could shoot at T.W.I.G.

[spring mural]

Yeah I used TWIG for Blood Magic, that ws really effective, level 50 in a couple hours

Totally afk, I didn't wanna go higher, cause it felt cheesy, I just wanna get Elemental to 50 too

[tired root]

You can also level up elemental magic skill on it.

[spring mural]

Is fire staff 1xp per enemy hit? so If I hit 3 twigs I get 3 exp?

[pearl glade]

who has some extra silver or iron

[spring gulch]

Spawn iron 200 p

[marble roost]

Not sure the exact xp per hit, but it doesn’t matter how many enemies you hit. One fireball will give same xp whether you hit 1 or 10 enemies with it

And 0 xp if you don’t hit anyone

[tired root]

Same xp per hit no matter how many targets.

Are you at Ashlands yet?

[pearl glade]

i tried but doesnt work

[frosty frost]

Are you on on console or keyboard+mouse?

[pearl glade]

pc

so second one

[frosty frost]

Go to settings, on first page "enable console" then in game press F5, type devcommands and then spawn iron 10

[spring gulch]

Right click properties in steam library valheim type -console in the startup options I think its called

[frosty frost]

Not needed as of CtA update 😄 now you have option in settings

But the start up option does take priority before the in-game setting

[spring gulch]

Had no idea ty

[lone moss]

No problem, glad that helped!

[frosty frost]

Why did you move from general to roleplay bot here?

[lone moss]

Haha, I'm not sure what you mean! I'm just being myself.

[pearl glade]

Who wants to figth elder the secon boss with me i want to fight it but i am litle scared because its my first time i dont have the spaning things but it would be fun triyng to get them

[marble roost]

You want iron and silver but haven’t beat 2nd boss yet?

[pearl glade]

my friend givet me

[barren rivet]

your friend give a man a fish

[scenic narwhal]

WELL I KILLED MY FIRST BEAR!!!!!

and it was basically just a tankier boar once i knew the torch trick

[barren rivet]

nice, there are even more tricks to killing them too. their lunging 1 paw swipe is very very weak and you can parry it very easily if you're interested in killing them quicker

[elder cypress]

how do i harpoon a chicken

like the harpoon just goes right through it

[thorn spire]

You need to enable pvp. open your menu (tab on PC) and click the swords to cross them.

why bother though?

[elder cypress]

he escaped his pen

[iron talon]

Has no one else had problems with severe lags on their dedicated server when playing multiplayer? (dathost)

Its unplayable

[iron talon]

Which is the strongest material (from mistland or ashland) to stabilize roofs?

[frosty frost]

Iron beams or flametal beams, they have the same stability

[vapid warren]

Copper walls too

[frosty frost]

And iron cage walls 😄

[vale lava]

anyone knows how to fix sudden fps drops in valheim? like my game runs smoothly and then for a couple of second my fps goes to 3-5

[barren rivet]

if you mean during auto save no, same thing happens to everyone i think

[vale lava]

if it should say somewhere on the screen that its autosaving then no its not that

[frosty frost]

Auto saves happen in the morning, do the drops also happen at certain times or are they random?

[vale lava]

literally random, like every 5 or so minutes just drops from 60 to 5 for 5-10 seconds n back to normal

and no it doesnt happen in specific places, happens everywhere

got pretty much all settings on low/turned off

[frosty frost]

That is quite strange, i would check any tasks running in the background first. Might be something usurping the PC resources not even related to the game.

[vapid warren]

Is it when you are traveling? Could be loading new areas

[spring mural]

Holy moly Magic is very strong

[marble roost]

It is indeed

Many would say OP

[pseudo niche]

when will bows be strong 🥺

[marble roost]

Tbh I doubt it will ever happen. Devs seem unconcerned that theyre OP, probably won’t be nerfed to be strong

[drowsy crane]

Tbh, they could half the damage of all bows, and it'd still be strong.

Ranged is very advantageous in Valheim.

All it would cost from that point is more time and materials.

[pseudo niche]

like seriously?
I barely does much damage compared to my tanking friends, I am out of stamina and feathers all the time 😭

[vapid warren]

Is this even about help?

[drowsy crane]

🤷 They asked when will bows be strong

[drowsy crane]

Running out of stamina and feathers isn't easy to do, there's stamina powers, mead, trinkets, skills lower stamina usage, and some set bonuses help with stamina.

Feathers are a farmable resource as well, you can hunt down birds endlessly with wooden arrows, chop down trees which are plant-able, or breed chickens en masse.

[tired root]

Vilebone armor set and Wolf sight makes bows even more OP.

[pseudo niche]

About feathers, fair point. I didn't get to utilize chickens until after ashlands. Before that however, I struggled to get birds to spawn, and I could chop trees for an in-game day to get like half a stack of feathers. Was I just unlucky?

I regret choosing to main bow early instead of melee. Feel free to point out I am using bows wrong, but I am not doing anything too complicated. I stay a distance away, charge my bow until it is fully charged, and release. If there is no tank, I have to expend my stamina to keep distance, which means I can't attack and also means I have less stamina to charge the bow. It has been a while so I can only remember the ashlands stage. I remember I tried to take on a 2-star warlock (I forgor name, the mage/summoner) with ash fang and frost arrows, and I spent most of my time running in circle and barely scratched the main target or its summons. And then my mage friend who came late obliterated the whole horde in under 10 seconds, whilst I danced around uselessly alone for 5 minutes. Stamina meads helped but I felt like I wasted them as barely any of the regained stamina went into bows

My point being, feathers I should have farmed more, and I suck at managing stamina for bow specifically and in general

[pseudo niche]

I never get enough adrenaline to activate wolf sight if I only just use bows
Like what am I to do to gain adrenaline fast? My adrenaline is already dropping when I am charging a shot

[tired root]

Shooting everything on sight. Staggering shots grant even more adrenaline.

[marble roost]

Bows are generally good because they allow you to stay at a safe range

But also good because they have have insane damage, BUT ONLY once you get decent bow skill going. Bow skill 0 vs bow skill 100 is something like a 500-600% increase in DPS

And early on you don’t need feathers much, just use wooden arrows and save your feathers. By the time you’re in mistlands you definitely want to use frost arrows though

Also in Ashlands I imagine bows are a little less good, but if you have frost arrows you shouldn’t need much stamina for running. Just walk backwards and slow the enemy with your shots. Can also jump shoot to avoid slowing down while charging an arrow

You don’t need much distance either. Just need to be out of melee range

[agile delta]

what should I firstly craft from black cores

[tired root]

Black forge.

[hushed garden]

Depends...

You WILL want the ||feather cape||. I have no idea how spoiler tags work... 😛

[jolly tapir]

You need to put || on each side

[hushed garden]

Thanks.

[thorn spire]

Hey good morning. Looking at events, I'm assuming the 40m range for base items is a spherical radius. Does anyone have any evidence to the contrary? I want to make sure that building campfires i.e. in a dungeon won't trigger raids at the entrance.

[vapid warren]

You need to make ||eitr refinery|| first even then

[thorn spire]

Going to be same concept as you went through in black forest. Start with ||black forge|| for weapons and armor, destroy it and build an ||eitr refinery|| to get ||refined eitr|| then build a ||galdr table|| for the ||feather cape||.

[hushed garden]

Cape first, everything else next. At least IMHO.

It's a gamechanger in regards to traversing the Mistlands.

With those first five cores, I build the ||Eitr refinery||, make as much ||Eitr|| as I can get, then make the ||Galdr table to craft the feather cape||, then make the forge for all the rest of the stuff.

[agile delta]

whats best mist tier weapon

[tired root]

It depends, some can be little more effective against seekers, especially those with partial elemental damage.

[agile delta]

ok thanks

[tired root]

If you like swords, Mistwalker is effective.

[hushed garden]

Mistwalker is so good, it is perfect for Ashlands.

[clear thicket]

What are the "Ancient Cave Markings" for ? :/

[jolly tapir]

They don't serve a practical purpose just decoration

[clear thicket]

Oh ok, thank you 🙂

[wide lynx]

When are we gonna get a new eta for D.N. I know this year. But like what quarter, I kmow its gonna be in December but I just want to have confirmation

[livid mortar]

Was Deep North this year confirmed while I wasn't looking? I know there's a port or two happening this year.

[tired root]

Deep North hasn't gotten ETA yet, but both PS5 and Switch 2 releases are upcoming this year.

[pearl glade]

how to get corewood

[marble roost]

If you mean corewood, gotta chop down pine trees in Black Forest (theyre usually in the middle of the forest)

[pearl glade]

why one youtuber just cutdown a oakwood

[tacit breach]

Because oak trees are in Valheim?

[pearl glade]

i dont play in english the big tree that you see in meadows

[spring gulch]

You can plant those trees, they give you much wood

[pearl glade]

but why did he get corewood from it

[white slate]

does gjall destroy wood wall instantly? and does ballistas kill gjall fast?

is it safe to build wooden 3rd floor on my mist base

[tired root]

Oak and birch trees drop finewood. Corewood drops from cutting pine trees at black forest (the next biome).

[pearl glade]

thaks

[shy ravine]

Does anyone know how close I have to be to a surtling spawner/fire geyser for the surtlings to spawn?

[subtle parrot]

Iirc i think it's a 20m radius

[shy ravine]

Thanks!

[icy brook]

It is not confirmed for this year, and definitely not confirmed for December. Not that it couldn't be, but nothing has been confirmed

[wide lynx]

well i know that nothing is confirmed, but i know if it is gonna happen this year, its gonna ve near the end,\

[tired root]

Remains to be seen.

[icy brook]

I also think it'll probably be this year but it could easily be next year

Depends on the scope of the update

[wide lynx]

mabe they are just waiting for my birthday :)

well, they have said they want to add a lot to earlier biomes

i think call to arms was a small taste of what that could be

[sharp nova]

best way to cheat myself building supplies while flying?

[barren rivet]

“no build cost” in world modifiers

[sharp nova]

does any character that enters that world get cheater status

[barren rivet]

dont know, if i had to guess that tag is only triggered by enabling devcommands

if you’re using fly, you already have the cheater tag tho

[sharp nova]

wondering if my dedicated chara can visit that world for some tomfoolery without blemish

[barren rivet]

i really wouldnt think world modifiers apply cheater, but maybe disable some future steam achievement? who could know

[dreamy hearth]

Okay, I feel like a newb asking this. When player raids are active on a server, how does that affect what merchants sell? Like, is their inventory still controlled by a global key or what's set per player?

[barren rivet]

not entirely sure what you’re asking, but the trader inventories are determined by which bosses have been beaten and which chest quests are completed, and the server itself is effected regardless of which player is in the server or raid settings or any settings i can think of

[dreamy hearth]

Right. I'm wondering if that changes at all on servers that use player raids rather than server wide ones. What I'm wondering is if Haldor's store will be different for someone that only fought against the Elder when another player has already defeated the Queen.

Maybe it's more appropriate to say, player driven vendors? Set per character progress rather than the whole server.

[south lance]

can someone look at my predicament in #screenshots and reply to me here in this channel about a solution

[hushed sigil]

Build a ladder up and hit it and it should explode

[south lance]

it worked, thanks

[hushed sigil]

Rock on

[south lance]

Rock... fell

[hushed sigil]

Rockafella?

[barren rivet]

the vendor inventory is the same for everyone on the server and their inventory is according to what has happened on that specific server regardless of the players in it

[tranquil lion]

Any tricks to leveling ground properly? Tried to build a platform and the raise / lower while on it but it was leveling to the ground instead of the character

[barren rivet]

yeah thats how the hoe works it raises or lowers depending on the level your character is standing

[tranquil lion]

It wasnt though. That was why i was asking

[barren rivet]

oh gotcha, then also you can “raise ground” which costs stone to raise it higher than you’re standing

and the other function attempts to make sort of a slope but its more complicated than i can explain well atm

[tranquil lion]

Ill just try watching some vids. Does the copy function do anything on the hoe?

I assume thats for different types of paths or something like that

[barren rivet]

idk what you mean by copy function. but ya its a tricky thing to master hard to just describe with words but once you understand it it works good

[frosty frost]

Hoe has a "level to the level you are pointing at" mode when you hold shift, but thats pretty much the only alternative function it has.

[clear thicket]

Super well made to hold the same button as sprint while you try to make a decent slope 😂

[barren rivet]

hah i never thought about that, i insta change my sprint and every other key every game i play so my sprint is R

[marble roost]

Cursed

But also surprisingly understandable

[clear thicket]

R ? Damn, whats your pinky for then ?

[frosty frost]

Never really had a problem with it, since you kind of want to be precise when making smooth slopes so you should not try to walk (or run in this situation) anyway 😄

[clear thicket]

Thought you had to walk slowly (like when planting seeds) while holding shift to make a good slope 😭

[frosty frost]

Nope 😄

[clear thicket]

Meh 🙁

[keen basin]

i watched a couple youtube videos saying that the flamemetal will stop sinking if you go into a portal, is that true? i just did a flamemetal node and it sank all the way even though i jumped into a portal

[barren rivet]

one good trick i use is walk sideways up/down a slop once ive kind of made it to make it more consistent

[frosty frost]

You used to be able to stop it sinking when unloading the area either via portal or logging off from the world.
Not sure if it entirely stopped the sinking making you hit the dice roll for it to start sinking again or if it just reset the sinking timer.

Might have or might have not been patched i am really not sure.

[barren rivet]

that was my understanding, or log out, same behavior as krakken in the ocean, tho i cant say ive gone through a portal while a krakken was sinking XD

[sharp nova]

highest tier foods that last 15 minutes?

right now i've identified raw onions and cloudberries

[drowsy shadow]

I heard there is a mod that creates a unique aventure in valheim with 1k hours, where can I get more info?

[marble roost]

Probably in #mods-discussion

I imagine there's multiple of those

[tropic condor]

greetings gentlemen, there was a problem with the bear trophy on the current patch, the wiki says that the chance of getting 10%, my brother and I killed a total of 40 pieces, 0 trophies came up, this is simply statistically incredible

[frosty frost]

Sadly RNG giveth and RNG taketh i am afraid

[pearl glade]

is there a command to get all the build blocks

[frosty frost]

Yep, press F5, type devcommands, type debugmode and press B

[tired root]

There will be vegs in Ashlands with that duration.

[spring gulch]

I have 259 hide, 4 trophies

[pearl glade]

deosnt work

[frosty frost]

What doesent work?

[pearl glade]

[frosty frost]

You cant open the console?

[pearl glade]

no the command

are you playing on a server or hosting from your game?

[frosty frost]

That ^

[pearl glade]

my own game

[frosty frost]

What does it say when you try to type it?

[vapid warren]

did you do devcommands first

then debugmode?

[pearl glade]

yes

and pressed b

[vapid warren]

can you post a screenshot of console in #screenshots ?

[pearl glade]

look

[pearl glade]

go look

[vapid warren]

you had already enabled devcommands

and you typoed a ton

but you disabled devcommands

[pearl glade]

i typed help'

[vapid warren]

type devcommands again

it should say "dev commands: true"

[pearl glade]

dev commands on

[vapid warren]

now type debugmode correctly

[sharp nova]

i guess my question then is what's the highest 15 min B or H food

[tired root]

Iirc 2 of the Ashlands vegs grant 30 HP and stamina and have 15 minutes duration.

But why exactly?

[sharp nova]

sorry

for filling stomach for a short period before eating a feast

[iron talon]

Anyone have any good graphic settings for maximize fps without impacting the graphic a lot?

[tired root]

No need to be sorry, I was just curious.

[vagrant bobcat]

anyone knows how much xp you gain when you attack with special move from battleaxe? Is it still 1.5 or it's less?

[marble roost]

Allegedly this is very good (if it won’t load, it’s in pins for this channel too. Yt vid guide)

#valheim-help message

[marble roost]

Ive been curious about that one myself

Both for woodcutting and axe skill

[sharp nova]

i was sorry for being late 🤓

[tired root]

It is the same IIRC.

[vagrant bobcat]

so u skill the fastest by spamming the secondary attack i assume?

[tired root]

Probably yes.

Just secondary spam on T.W.I.G.

[willow raft]

1.5xp for every hit, so the fastest hitting axe you have is the best one to train it with, the more hits in the least amount of time you can do is better.
Either a handed or a 2 handed axe doesn't matter its all under the axes skill.

Berserkir axes being the best axes to lvl the axes skill with.

[vagrant bobcat]

i see, i see, thanks

[iron talon]

Thanks a lot

[marble roost]

Well dual axes in general should be equally good for levelling

But it sounds like battleaxe secondary wouldn’t be too far behind

[tranquil lion]

Just wondering if theres a way to get glowing signs. I know you can use some formatting to change colors and size and whatnot but not sure how to get the glow

[spring gulch]

Lighting helps. Use a hue picker to find a better color

[tranquil lion]

nvm comment says they dont glow anymore

Im 3 years late to that party I guess 😢

[karmic agate]

Been very slow to see any gains from hitting twig

Is there any bonus to xp when hitting tougher enemies?

[snow marsh]

be rested

most important thing when trying to get xp on skills

[sharp nova]

if anything attack lots of graydwarves since they're tiny and grant equal xp gain

[sharp nova]

deep north is coming 🗡️

[karmic agate]

Was diving planned?

[sharp nova]

@tired root should i dm you about that non-DN Polaris seed?

[tired root]

Ah, thanks for reminder.

Wait a second.

[sharp nova]

thank you for being open

[tired root]

No problem really.

There is the highest peak I've found in any map: ||HsYKEB2MG3||.

[sharp nova]

🙏 great appreciation

[tired root]

Also, one interesting trick: If you click that Pin Map Center button and then click Random you get different seed with same map base.

[sharp nova]

wow

[elder cypress]

can you connect a stone portal to a regular portal?

[lime canopy]

can anyone help me flat this terrain. the edges are like messed up one side is fine but this other side i cant fix.

[barren rivet]

idk if this is what you're talking about, but in valheim you can terraform straight and not zig-zaggy dirt walls in line with the cardinal directions only, otherwise ur always gonna get ziggy zags

[lime canopy]

i showed you in dms

[barren rivet]

yeah i think thats what im talking about, see if you can pickaxe that wall exactly perpendicular to the wall that's straight

[lime canopy]

i mean it looks straight to me

[barren rivet]

straight or perpendicular?

[lime canopy]

both

[barren rivet]

huh. weird idk then

[hushed sigil]

Hi, looking for help around browsing building tips and screenshots while trying to grill cheese and endin up burning it a bit cause it’s too interesting.

[jolly tapir]

how do I quickly make a troll inside a troll cave de-aggro so I can use the sneak attack again?

[hushed sigil]

Go to a different cave, maybe it’s on a timer also, not sure never tried lol

[compact heath]

don't think you can do that, if you wait a while it will maybe de-aggro not guaranteed but it will also gain health back in that time

for troll caves its ideal if you are good at dodge rolling or powerful enough to parry them

[next ivy]

Nothing offensive, but I did see your preview showing LoTR

[south lance]

anyone know about stabilizing stone blocks? i have a screenshot of an outpost im making an the stone walls are too high (in the plains) and beginning to crumble

[hushed sigil]

Needs iron wood touching it

[floral token]

can meadows spawn right next to mist?

[hushed sigil]

It’s possible yeah, don’t see it much tho.
Meadows go up to 5000m from spawn, and mistlands from like 5900+ so u can get a little band between of something else … so “close”

[drowsy crane]

No it can't.

[tacit breach]

Yeah, lowest biome I have seen next to mist is BF.

[woeful valley]

can someone explain why it happened , i could not interact with chests and then all of sudden literally every chest destroyed and few structure by itself

[tired root]

Do you use any mods? Are you in current PTB version?

[sharp nova]

plains tier knife?

[tired root]

Yes.

-# What is the exact question tho.

[sharp nova]

what is it?

[tired root]

It's made by the metal found in plains.

[sharp nova]

is it named "blackmetal knife"

gotcha, preciate it

[clear thicket]

I don't understand why they implemented "Wooden" weapons, such a troll 😂

[thorn spire]

works great against T.W.I.G. No damage.

[clear thicket]

What's the point ?

[thorn spire]

Hitting T.W.I.G. counts as an attack so you improve your skills for free.

[clear thicket]

Ooooo

Ok didn't knew that

[sharp nova]

can wood iron beams go up... forever, but not the stone they support?

nevermind, i reached the max height just now

my altitude is 67

[clear thicket]

isn't it 5 beams vertical before lack of stability ?

[sharp nova]

these are wood iron

single best early game stability beams

[icy brook]

They don't go forever

But very very high. Probably much higher than you'll need

[jolly tapir]

Similar questionable that. If I wanted to connect too land masses with a wood bridge, can the iron poles go in accross the gap without a bottom support? Cause when it gets too deep idk how to support it

[thorn spire]

So yes, to a point. Extending ironwood beams horizontally needs more support than vertically. You'll have to come in from both sides and see if you have enough support to meet in the middle.

[marble roost]

Training skills without killing your enemy and having to go find a new punchingbag

IMO making skill gain a farmable thing rather than something you pick up from just playing is silly tho

[lone moss]

Yeah, that's a fair point. It kinda takes the fun out of it when it becomes a chore.

[clear thicket]

You can raise the "ground" while walking down the water, keep it low enough for a good look, but at least you can put some fundations

How do you guys handle a height difference when making a roof ? I mean the front of my house is lower than the back, but i'm struggling to connect them

When a CORNER is involved* sorry missed the main part of the question

[echo garden]

do night spawned creatures not eat food if its day time? I lost aggro on what I assume is a night askvin and it refuses to eat the food near it. Will I have to wait until nightfall to avoid it despawning?

[thorn spire]

you have to wait.

[thorn spire]

usually you have to get creative with outside and inside corner pieces. Sometimes it just doesn't work.

[thorn spire]

Try offsetting the corner pieces by 1m. that often works to fix joins.

[clear thicket]

Mmm... by offsetting, you mean ? 😅

[thorn spire]

either up half a step or in half a step from the end of the next piece.

[clear thicket]

Like this ? #screenshots message

[thorn spire]

that can work as well.

sorry, got a meeting RN. will be back in an hour.

[clear thicket]

Np, thanks 🙂

[clear thicket]

@thorn spire Finally closed everything 🙂 the hard thing is that my house is asymmetric, either in eight and width (yeah why make it simple when you can go hardmode 😅
Thanks for the tips anyway 🙂

[thorn spire]

It’s very satisfying when you figure out how to snap it together. I very rarely need to free place a roof piece any longer

[clear thicket]

Tried to not free placing, i know it'll end up badly 😂
Im off for now I'll make screenshot tomorrow you'll understand better the struggle i had 🙂

[digital inlet]

Can anyone help me recover my stuff? I’ve got a teleport to where I died, just in a bad spot in a populated orc villa

[spare cargo]

It's okay I ask about dev commands here right?

[snow marsh]

ye

[tranquil lion]

Whats the order of biome progression? Meadows -> BF -> Swamp -> ?

[snow marsh]

||meadow, bf, swamp, mountain, plains, mistlands, ashlands||

[tranquil lion]

||MTN b4 plains?|| Noted thanks

Im just scouting for a home base and I cannot find a nice flat coastal area to save my life. Found an island with the first 5 all together but the coast is garbage

[spare cargo]

What's the dev command to spawn a trophy? Accidentally deleted a trophy. Spawn trophyserpent doesn't work

[lone moss]

I'm not totally sure on the exact syntax for that one, sorry! You might need to check the wiki or ask around in the Valheim communities, they'd probably know better than me.

[tired root]

Did you type devcommands first?

[willow raft]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs#Trophies

Enable the console - F5 - devcommands - spawn TrophySerpent

[spare cargo]

I enabled dev commands yes

[spare cargo]

I have -console on steam already, I enabled dev commands, but it won't do that command unless it's case sensitive

I spawn serpent scales as a test and it worked fine

[willow raft]

You should be able to cycle trough the available things with tab.

[frosty frost]

Are you on a server?

[spare cargo]

I did, that's how I found the trophyserpent but it didn't work.

[spare cargo]

I had a server enabled at the time

[tired root]

But not dedicated server?

[frosty frost]

If you were the host then there is no problem, but you cant use commands on dedicated servers so i asked 🙂

[spare cargo]

Not dedicated, and I was host

Maybe it's case sensitive for some reason. That's the only reason I can see for it telling me that I can't do that right now

[frosty frost]

Can you screenshot your console and put it in #screenshots ?

[spare cargo]

Yeah next time I'm on I will @frosty frost

[frosty frost]

Nah, commands are not case sensitive

[willow raft]

You could try spawning in serpents and keep killing them till you get a new trophy, throw all the stuff you don't want to keep deep into the ocean.

[spare cargo]

That's fair. Be even funnier to spawn one on land

[willow raft]

Absolutely, dig a hole big enough, stand at the right spot and summon one in there and go ham.

[tranquil lion]

Is there no stone pickaxe through normal play?

[willow raft]

Nope first pickaxe is after first boss.

[tranquil lion]

Think I've always just spawned myself the initial tools so i didnt even realize it wasn't craftable lmao

[tired root]

More specifically, made with material dropped from it.

[jolly tapir]

I'm so confused 🤔 I had 19 cut and prepped fish, but when I cooked them all, I only got 15 cooked fish back. I thought the ratio was the same?

[pseudo niche]

sometimes I spammed cooking stuff too fast and the game ate them
it feels most noticeable with cooking stations over campfires tbh. When this happened I was in a server my friend hosted, I haven't checked if it can also happen in singleplayer

[tacit breach]

I never cook while on a server anymore. I do all that on my own, then sign in.

I host the server. So all the mats are there. I have never noticed losing foods as a single player.

So it seems to be a server caused loss to me.

[vapid warren]

Servers usually miss out on the food anyway

[pseudo niche]

speaking of foods, is there anything (hopefully useful) I can dump a massive amount of seeker meats into? 😭
I didn't think I would get overrun by them

[vapid warren]

coal

you even get cooking skill for it

[tired root]

Seeker aspic.

[compact heath]

only useful for mages / hybrid but for them a really good and cheap food

[hushed sigil]

Yep this, and coal just sits there until you are back later so can make a bunch of em at once on a bunch of racks over some fires.

[broken schooner]

Guys I need some help, my partners game freezes (Video freezes)

But the audio keeps going, can hear music/people doing stuff, we've updated graphics drivers, changed settings, vsync on/off, enabled FPS limiter, defaulted NVIDIA settings/profiles, reinstalled the game, no mods, no custom anything.. They're on a RTX 3080 & AMD CPU

It's basically identical to this issue, same card and everythnig, but this is over a year later: #steam-bugs-discussion message

[echo garden]

my hottub keeps going on and off even though its full of wood, why?

[stoic trench]

Is it getting proper ventilation?

[charred thunder]

i did somthing to my mic and it jusrtt will not connect

[marble roost]

Isnt it in meat platter?

[compact heath]

Seeker meat maybe but not seeker aspic

[tired root]

Yes, but it is quite expensive food otherwise IMO.

[marble pagoda]

seeker meat is rarely the limiting ingredient of aspic or platter

[pseudo niche]

meat platter needs hare right?
My number one enemy...

[tired root]

Hare meat is more limiting ingredient tho.

[compact heath]

hare is super limited unless you spend a lot of time in mistlands or have your main base there, an area not spawnproofed with lots of spikes or go hunting with embers regularily

and traps etc

[willow raft]

I try and kill every hare I see in the mistlands to build up a good stock of the meat.

[limpid forum]

How do you get back on the raft from the water

[tired root]

There are small stairs on the back edge.

[sharp nova]

tips on supporting a huge thatch roof on my stone walls?

[barren rivet]

corewood beams?

[sharp nova]

might not quite go wide enough 🥲

[barren rivet]

iron beams?? how wide a roof are we talking?

also if height isnt an issue maybe beams that go from the ground straight up to the roof? and/or stone that does the same?

[sharp nova]

probably what i'm gonna do. 😐

[sharp nova]

36 cubes wide

or 38 end to end

[tired root]

Picture in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 or https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202310893757530142 might help giving advice.

[barren rivet]

wha??? are you building an indoor baseball field?

if its that wide you’re definitely gonna need to support from the ground

[sharp nova]

scientifically... how far across should 26 degree corewood beams be able to go?

maybe if i decrease the depth by 3 on each side they'd be enough

[barren rivet]

like… 5 or 6 beams worth? definitely not your entire sports field

[sharp nova]

i found a solution

put two iron beams on each side to slightly reduce how long the corewood has to be

somehow it stays up...

7 beams wide is gucci 👍

ok. laptop low on battery, gotta charge it again before i keep valheiming.

one important question.

how long does it take unsupported iron beams to break? i noticed while i was building straight up it took a while for ones that were weak to decay

[barren rivet]

they dont decay exactly, they either stay up or they dont, if something loses integrity it all crumbles down pretty quickly.

if you try to build in a manner that wont hold it should instantly break. if you remove a support everything that needed that support will start crumbling immediately

[sharp nova]

it didnt 🌚

[barren rivet]

then you’re good

[sharp nova]

it still broke.

(earlier. not just now)

[pearl glade]

can you teleport friend

[sharp nova]

portals and commands?

[pearl glade]

commands

can you tell

[frosty frost]

Not as far as i am aware 🤔 you can teleport yourself

[barren rivet]

i think thats only a minecraft thing

[frosty frost]

Ah, recall command will teleport someone to your location

[barren rivet]

oh thats awesome. server admin roleplay unlocked, teleport cheaters to ashlands hell prison

[sharp nova]

so no one else has had wood iron beams decay after a minute?

[barren rivet]

do you mean their durability? like in the rain? are they not under a roof?

[sharp nova]

... will they suddenly break in the rain?

[barren rivet]

not break, but decay to half durability

[sharp nova]

then the mystery still isn't solved.

ahah!

i think i figured it out

i think it was struck by lightning

[barren rivet]

not unless you mean from the obliterator, lightning is just a light show

[bitter kayak]

i am pretty new first time and starting swamp biome, where do i pick for my permanent base? i have some portals up but i see that certain materials cant be teleported so how do i go about choosing where to build? i still just have starter base near spawn

[sinful moth]

A base at the spawn can be good, just make sure you have water near you so you can bring stuff there with a boat

[marble roost]

It's pretty common. Sometimes game updates structural support rules immediately, sometimes it takes a couple minutes. It usually only takes minutes for it to do if there are a lot of builds in the area, but sometimes even on small builds it happens.

It's very random

[marble roost]

I would recommend putting a base in meadows (because it's safe there), but preferably somewhat near a big swamp so you can easily haul materials back home!

As smily said tho, living near the water is real good

[limpid forum]

Do all boats move the same speed?

[vapid warren]

No, raft moves the slowest, second boat moves faster and the last two move fastest

[grim idol]

What's the story progress?

Like how to progress the story, I'm new and I don't know what's in the game like if there's copper tools or swords in the game. I would like to know.

[tired root]

Story of the game is to beat each Forsaken for Odin. Progression vise you will gain access to mine materials in next biome by killing the first boss.

There are several different weapon types to choose from, each dealing mainly either slash, pierce or blunt damage.

[grim idol]

I have only found mountain biome so far but I haven't entered inside.

[tired root]

Mountain is the 4th biome in order, so don't go there yet.

[grim idol]

Meadows is the first biome, right?

[tired root]

Correct.

[grim idol]

Like I'm trying to find the crow for tips but I can't find it.

[tired root]

At the starting point you can get the location of the first boss by pressing the red symbolic stone, called vegvisir.

[grim idol]

My best tool so far is just my flint spear I don't think I can beat bosses with it.

[tired root]

You can read the previous advice from compendium, which is found above the crafting menu.

[tired root]

Any weapon is good against the first boss. You might want to have shield too, maybe bow and arrows as backup too. You can also hunt animals and make armor before fighting the boss.

You don't need to rush things.

[grim idol]

Is it possible to beat the first boss with a flint spear and just a shield, and what do I need to summon the boss?

[tired root]

It is possible, spear is actually good weapon for damage.

If you visit the boss location it can give you hint what to look for to sacrifice.

But for first boss (I put spoiler tag, so look in at your own risk), it is ||2 deer trophies||.

[grim idol]

Let me check the location and then I will look the spoiler.

[tired root]

There is some message you can read there and might have other hints too.

[grim idol]

Hmm...

Is eikthyr the first boss altar?

[grim idol]

I have to try every item if I don't know the sacrife item, or it will be the same category item?

[tired root]

It is an option, but if you look closely you can figure out what the item is related to.

Also, the starting area has those sacrificial stones with hanging hooks, which presents each boss in order and they can also give hint what kind of enemy they are.

[grim idol]

Ohhhh.

[barren rivet]

go slow, stop and read every stone and every bird speech, you will get tips for fighting mobs and all kinds of info, read item descriptions, take note of new recipes unlocked, fight things, gather everything you see, its self-driven exploration

[livid mortar]

Any boss can be fought and defeated with a weapon crafted in its biome. I once beat the first boss with just a flint knife because I forgot to make a shield. That said, don't assume bosses will be easy; preparation can turn a near-impossible encounter into a much more manageable one.

[sinful moth]

spear+shield are the best things you can use imo

[marble roost]

Spear or knife are both fine

Shield isnt really needed, might as well dodge roll

[sinful moth]

Shield is easier tho

[marble roost]

True. A bit easier in exchange for some stamina and hp loss

[barren rivet]

Someone explain how this happened and how I can do it again.
#memes-and-clips message

[marble roost]

Was playing around with dev commands in public test, spawning likr 100 enemies and lightning axing them. It seems the spark hits an enemy and then has a chance to go to the next, and so on. Maybe it had a 25% chance to go to each of the enemies nearby the initial target? So if there’s a lot of enemies you’ll get multiple lightning bolts sent off, which will then continue sending off more

It felt very consistent / often to me when I fought dozens of enemies clumped together. All about enemy density

In that clip it looks like you got fairly lucky tho

[barren rivet]

is that what it is? 25% chance to also proc and split doubling the lightning? i feel like it proc'd and split into FOUR lightning bolts at least, it was like a spray of lightning to every green summon

[sinful moth]

Wiki says: Once triggered, it has an 80% chance of bouncing off nearby enemies or players. If so, each nearby target within 8 meters has a 30% chance of being targeted, up to a maximum of 2–4 targets per bounce (the maximum is chosen at random then targets are processed starting from the nearest). The process repeats indefinitely, centered on each new target, but with the chance of rebound multiplied by 0.75 each time (i.e., 80% → 60% → 45% → 33.75%, etc.).

[marble roost]

TLDR: find 10 enemies. Bundle them up. Profit

Lightning gem is for single target dps and AoE clear

Then jade for cc and blood fo- we don’t talk about blood

[barren rivet]

oh wow i never read that, that's for iolite gem in the wiki? ok so i just got lucky. also. i just tested this in another fortress just letting the charred max out then swinging, yeah if there's lots of charred its just a chance to bounce like mad and delete them all. that's crazy

yeah, lightning is even more op than i thought. and blood needs a buff even more

[sinful moth]

yeah, it's called chain lightning effect or smth

[barren rivet]

unless i got crazy lucky THREE more times lol i just recreated it 3 more times wiht a huge ball of charred

[subtle parrot]

In my experience the iolite gems proc very consistently

[barren rivet]

lol i fought and tested it so long my helmet broke and almost my tower shield XD

[sharp nova]

what's the effect of bloodstones

[barren rivet]

ive had iolite proc plenty, but never like... literally delete 7 charred ina single swing

[tired root]

I'm guessing that will get nerfed in 1.0.

[barren rivet]

same, cuz idk how they'er gonna get me to use a different weapon

[sinful moth]

||more dmg per health points lost||

||0.2% per hit point||

[sharp nova]

||% max hp?||

[sinful moth]

||no it's per actual health point, not percentage of max hp, so it's better the more hp you have||

[sharp nova]

||more hp you have, or is missing?||

[sinful moth]

|| missing, just meant it gets better the more u have cause then u can lose more too||

[sharp nova]

||the damage is based on the dealer's hp?||

[tired root]

More precisely ||0,2% per missing health point (from you)||. So higher max HP for player is more beneficial.

[marble pagoda]

yeah the more enemies there are the more damage you can do off a juicy proc

with a dense group of high hp enemies it will just go round and round doing way more than the base 75 per enemy

[sharp nova]

||how much missing hp does bloody jotun's bane require for breaking even with more full and standard||?

[tired root]

There is no such weapon, gems can only be used on Ashlands weapons.

[sharp nova]

i meant tier 3 jotun's bane with blood enchant and tier 4 with nothing

[tired root]

Jotun Bane is Mistlands tier 1h axe.

[subtle parrot]

You must be thinking of berserkir axes

[sharp nova]

is there no ashlands 1h axe

[tired root]

There are only berserkir axes.

[sharp nova]

wow.

[tired root]

This is Jotun Bane.

[sharp nova]

then. uh.
how much hp do you need missing to break even between tier 3 berserkir axes with blood enchant and tier 4?

[barren rivet]

i thought (and it's probably how to balance it) iolite had a chance to jump to ONE nearby enemy. like chain lightning. not spray lightning.

[thorn spire]

Does it not? I think it's just one enemy at a time, but can keep going as long as there are more nearby.

[barren rivet]

in the clip i just posted it appears to just split in a fork to everythingi and then bounce and keep forking

[thorn spire]

I see what you mean.

[subtle parrot]

It's like 2% more damage from 10 hp lost, so probably like 20-30 hp would cover the difference

[thorn spire]

I wonder if that's just the visual effect though? it looks very similar to the visual from the Dundr.

[sharp nova]

that's a serious favor for blood berserkir axes versus wood...

if you're missing 90 hp that's substantial

[barren rivet]

i think its as the wiki states, there's a 30% chance to bounce to nearby enemies, and there were enough enemies and enough initial bounces that 30% just became 100% and math broke and everything died

[subtle parrot]

I'm not sure if it increases chop damage tbh, but if it does that's indeed a good jump in damage to trees

[sharp nova]

surely someone's tried this.

[subtle parrot]

Seems so, according to a reddit post i saw just now

[marble roost]

Bigger question is how much you have to be missing to break even with a lightning enchant

In which case the answer is probably like 150+hp or so, depending on the weapon

[sharp nova]

:c oke

[marble roost]

Maybe more like 200, as long as its not a slow weapon like 2h sword

[sharp nova]

you get that its versus trees, right?

[barren rivet]

i remember doing the math at one point for single target, but with the also chance for forked lightning whats the point in red

[marble roost]

I do not

[barren rivet]

there's a point where trees just die in 2 hits or 1 hit and an extra 10% doesn't change it dying in 1 hit or 2 hits and i wouldn't try to stress about minmaxing wood chopping too hard

[marble roost]

Nothing but sneak attacks

Or really, really, really wanting to optimize Fader kill speedrun or something

[barren rivet]

and if you are minmaxing woodchopping you're using a battleaxe so irrelevent anyway

[sharp nova]

#u#

[sharp nova]

what?

[barren rivet]

i mean if you're trying to math endgame minmax wood chopping with blood axes and jumping off your roof to increase your chop damage, why arent you just chopping down 5 trees at once with a battleaxe which is faster than blood axes

[sharp nova]

fiiiiiiiiine i'll stick to unenchanted berserkirs

[barren rivet]

lol no im saying use battleaxe!

[subtle parrot]

Battleaxe = 2h axe
Not berserkirs

[sharp nova]

i'm aware... i didnt feel like explaining that most of my targets are single trees anyway

[subtle parrot]

Oh lol

[sharp nova]

i'll admit in black forest is very fun

[barren rivet]

you dont like planting your trees closer together?

[sharp nova]

i only plant oaks or defensive spruces

[thorn spire]

Yeah, wiki states EACH nearby target 30%, not one at a time. Big badda boom!

[barren rivet]

yeah... its pretty gross.

[thorn spire]

when it hits, yeah.

[barren rivet]

i got one more juicy bounce testing it out before my helmet and shield broke lol

it's rare enough that it's a nice treat and not completely op broken

imean compared to other gem weapons its broken, but..

[thorn spire]

yeah, but no more than it ever was.

[marble pagoda]

if you get enough enemies to gather up i think you can just axe the outside of a charred fort and kill everything inside

lightning is a balanced weapon

[barren rivet]

yeah they should probably also make it not bounce off inanimate targets to balance it

and only bounce no fork

[marble roost]

It’s kind of funny making a bunch of little build piece and hitting them, watching sparks fly to nearby enemies

[barren rivet]

but im cheeseterminator2000 so it must be destroyed

[urban quest]

About to face fader, any spoiler free tips?

[tired root]

Best foods and weapons you can get. Utility meads are very useful.

Don't stay still too long.

[sinful moth]

You definitely need fire resistance, movement and health/stamina/eitr meads are also great

[urban quest]

Thank you friends

[jolly tapir]

Attacks that start at half health are gonna suck. So unless you wanna wear the root harnesk for pierce resistance to them, get out of the way

[barren rivet]

if im not too late good luck, everything is telegraphed clearly and not a suggestion, standard “dont stand in the fire” mechanics

[jolly tapir]

Are there any pre Mistland light sources they don't prevent spawn? My surtling spawner base is so dark but even torches have the 20 meter spawn prevention. It's very annoying. Surtling trophies are not very bright at all

[compact heath]

weapons and set up matter, he has a bit of HP, the biggest tip to give is a spoiler so I won't do that, also another tip, enjoy the boss music haha, I would drink ALL THE MEADS like Joelkkii has said, the easiest Fader cheese if you like cheese has to be done before you start the fight but his locations are so easy to find anyway so not a problem

IMHO Fader is easier than Queen if you do it smartly

[subtle parrot]

The dvergr circlet but they also aren't very bright

[thorn spire]

Swamp keys on item stands or piles of dragon tears is about it.

how is the geyser not providing light?

[limpid forum]

Any tips finding traders?

[normal ibex]

Get on a boat (I prefer to use karves because it has less water displacement and you're less likely to get stuck) and just follow along the coastline going from continent to continent until you find them. If you don't get too far from the coastline you'll trigger the spawn and be able to see it on the map. Even in nomap games, you can usually see the ward lighting up the area from the boat, it's pretty easy to see it at night.

Oh, and wear a root harnesk so you don't die to random deathsquitoes while sailing close to a plains if you can?

[limpid forum]

I understand maybe a 10th of that given im new to the game
But i get the general gist
Didnt even know there was a trader but i hazard a guess since theres coins

[normal ibex]

You'll likely find them just throughout the normal course of exploring unless you're very unlucky.

[limpid forum]

Also is there a general gist for what damage types is best against what enemies?

[normal ibex]

Each trader has 10 potential locations in a normal spawn. Once you find one, it'll 'spawn' in that spot, and it'll be set as the location for that trader.

The color of the damage number tells you if they're weak/strong/neutral against damage types.

If the damage number pops up yellow, it means they're weak to that type.

White is normal/neutral. Grey means they're strong against it.

[limpid forum]

Seems like slash is a jack of all trades then
Thats what ive been using
Mind you i still havent beat the eldar and by the sounds of it theres a lot more bosses than i first thought

[normal ibex]

Elder is weak to slash type.

Wait... that's not true. 😛

I just like using axes on it cause it reminds me of a tree. They are weak to fire though.

Most folks have a weapon type they like and stick to it, since skill levels aren't easy to raise especially when they start getting to 60+ and you get a lot of benefits from sticking to one type.

[potent niche]

Going versatyle is the way

[normal ibex]

between 0 skill level and 100 you get a +140% damage boost, and a stamina cost reduction up to 33%.

[potent niche]

The damage boost is mediocre after your skill hits 75

[normal ibex]

It's even more pronounced for archery.

Since your arrow pull time is affected in addition which increases your damage by reducing draw time between arrows, which further reduces your stamina cost.

Between 0 to 100 skill level, your bow is about 7x more effective at max level.

It's such a big difference that at a 90+ skill level, you can kill a stone golem faster with wood arrows than you could with a blunt weapon with around a 50ish skill level (Golems resist all physical damage except blunt)

[potent niche]

this is just not true

[normal ibex]

I'm doing it right now.

I'm in the Ashlands in a no-boss challenge with mountain gear.

[potent niche]

If you taken an iron mace and a hunstman bow, the mace will kill it faster

[normal ibex]

And killing ashland critters with wood arrows.

And it kills things as fast as a frostner, which I also have at a 80+ skill level.

[potent niche]

Frostner sucks ahh at killing

Most overglazed weapon in Valheim

[normal ibex]

Okay, bud.

[potent niche]

Fenris set?

[normal ibex]

Nope. Mostly wolf gear with a root harnesk.

[potent niche]

ahh makes sense

[normal ibex]

Arrows kill you too fast otherwise.

[potent niche]

the good old root harnesk always coming in handy

Best armor piece in Valheim

[normal ibex]

Agreed. I don't take it off once I craft it.

[potent niche]

It straigt up cancels 1/3 physical damage you take

People would riot nowadays if it got nerfed

[normal ibex]

It's 50% and applies before armor reduction.

Which means a 150 damage hit will be reduced to 75 and armor is applied after.

[potent niche]

yeah ik?

[normal ibex]

I was just saying it's a lot more than 1/3 😛

[potent niche]

i meant like pierce, blunt and slash as in physical damages. It cancels out pierce (it gets lowered to oblivion) so it cancels out 1/3 physical damage

[normal ibex]

Turns 200 damage hits to a manageable 40~50ish.

Even with just mountain gear.

Ah. Yeah. I see what you mean.

[potent niche]

You can survive a lord reto hit with that armor if it's one of his pierce attacks

[normal ibex]

Yes, it basically trivializes all pierce.

[potent niche]

People don't use it but it's super effective against Fader since most his attacks deal pierce

[compact heath]

I always use for Fader haha

[sonic hound]

How long will it take for me to fight the dragon if it’s my first time? I have max silver wolf armor and the crystal battle axe

[barren rivet]

battleaxe is the greatest weapon in the game. but you're gonna want something faster and better single target. sword spear club whatever

[potent niche]

battleaxe is too slow

[compact heath]

also bringing a bow is recommended and make sure the area is clear, Moder is a lot harder if other mountain things join the fight

[sonic hound]

Thanks 🙏 Im definitely gonna die but we’ll see what happens haha

[drowsy crane]

You can pull it off with the battleaxe, I have many times, but it never hurts to play it safe. You can always utilize your axe skill with a 1h axe and shield.

[barren rivet]

you start swingin at the wrong time tho and that fast bite move is gonna get you during the first swing

[drowsy crane]

Nah, not if you jump in with it

[normal ibex]

Use terrain to your advantage. Build earth walls you can use to evade the frost breath, random workbenches it'll go after instead of you etc.

[white slate]

people like battleaxe? 👁️ 👁️

[normal ibex]

Everybody has a type.

[white slate]

it's soooooooo slow

[normal ibex]

It looks cool?

And drip is important.

[white slate]

crystal baxe is pretty cool, but silver sword is the coolest 🤵‍♂️

[drowsy crane]

Battleaxe is slow? You must not have used it.

[white slate]

i just did this most recent playthrough, but after a while i had to craft silver sword again

it looks nice in my bedroom wall thought 😆

[drowsy crane]

Ah, well you must not've used it very well, just recently had someone say the sword is faster and I matched their kill timing.

[normal ibex]

I mean sword 'is' faster. He didn't say the DPS was faster.

[white slate]

oh i mean the actual swing is sooooo slow, not how fast you kill enemy with it

[normal ibex]

It has a faster attack with less delay between hits.

[drowsy crane]

Ah so it's more of a preference to see yourself moving faster I suppose

[normal ibex]

And smaller likelihood of getting hit while kiting. Not the biggest fan of the sword heavy attack though.

I wish there was a better reason to use it.

[white slate]

yeah i never use it, only slash

[normal ibex]

Almost every other weapon has a use case for the heavy attack, I don't think sword does though.

[white slate]

early axes have cool one 👍

love doing it off the cliff like an idiot

[drowsy crane]

Ah, this is what the Battleaxe secondary is for

Poke them back, jump in with the primary swing.

They won't detect you quick enough to swing before you land yours.

[normal ibex]

It has a pretty slow wind up for a poke though, and doesn't have the utility of one handed hammers that do the same thing with a similar delay and a bigger knockback.

But... axes are cool and drip matters. 😛

[marble pagoda]

sword heavy attack is pretty goated tbh
3x is a lot

just gotta get real good at reading

[normal ibex]

It's just... it takes the same amount of time to do it as the 3 attack light combo. With the third hit doing 2x damage.

Which means for the same amount of time, you actually end up hitting harder with the 3x light combo over the single heavy 3x.

[white slate]

and you can just hit 3-4 enemies with slash

kill bunch of mobs quick

[normal ibex]

Yeah, with no damage reduction for multi enemy hits, one of the biggest advantages of using a sword.

[white slate]

love that

[marble pagoda]

i've counted the frames
secondary is slightly higher dps than 123 combo

main use is after a parry tho

still, if you can chainstun it may be worth just holding normals

[normal ibex]

There is a cost though, once you press the heavy attack button you're locked in for the charge up.

[marble pagoda]

yeah that is unfortunate

[normal ibex]

If you're only accounting for pure DPS, sure. But how many of those times do you get whupped while you're charging and something smacks you out of it?

[marble pagoda]

depends, before or after feather cape
jump -> sword secondary gives you a lot of the mobility needed to safely do it

[normal ibex]

Hammers work in a similar fashion but there's a clear use case.

[marble pagoda]

or again, in response to a parry

[normal ibex]

The knockback is enough that nothing can counter attack.

[marble pagoda]

hammer is for playing ping pong with enemies that lock onto you like reto

[normal ibex]

That doesn't apply to swords.

[marble pagoda]

its a good time

[normal ibex]

There just isn't enough of a benefit to the sword heavy over the 3x light. That's what I mean by there's no real reason to use it.

Daggers, spears, hammers, axes, atgeirs.. there isn't one real other weapon type where that argument would apply.

There's a clear use case for heavy attacks. Swords don't have that.

[white slate]

isn't the "secret combo" most dps anyway

[marble pagoda]

yes lmao
sword still has among the strongest cancels

[white slate]

attack insta hold block attack

[marble pagoda]

the commonly known secret sword combo is actually lower than spamming m1 tho

[white slate]

lol

[marble pagoda]

but yea if you can manage the time you spend animation locked, sword secondary is good and fun

[normal ibex]

I wish it had a different heavy though. I don't know, maybe a flourish that does little damage but guarantees a stun if it hits.

[marble pagoda]

learn the 11 333 cancel lmao

wind up for 6 years then do 9x

[normal ibex]

Just something that's not the 'this thing hits a little harder but leaves you vulnerable for longer'.

[marble pagoda]

i should frame count those animation cancels lol
would be very interesting balance-wise
there's one that's like 8.2x per second if you use a berserker mead

[normal ibex]

If you're doing animation cancels in a situation where it'd actually make a difference you're much better at this than I am. I'm usually busy just trying to make sure I don't catch a stray hit and get insta murked.

[marble pagoda]

yea most of them are not useful unless you're sweaty af
which in this game, what's the point

[normal ibex]

I thought the higher damage ones were patched out with the ashlands update too, yeah?

[marble pagoda]

eh some of them but there's always more

[normal ibex]

I didn't even know about the emote/heavy spam until after it was patched out.

[marble pagoda]

their main use is to give my hands something to do while waiting for friends

[limpid forum]

Is there a way to turn off the hud? Mostly asking for screenshots

[pseudo niche]

I think you press ctrl + f3 for that

[marble pagoda]

ctrl-alt-f3 if thtat doenst work

[limpid forum]

Wish that was a little easier but at least it exists

[drowsy crane]

If you have a macro program you can make a single keypress translate to those 3 keys.

[marble roost]

If you’re okay with exploiting, yea

Actually insane how much damage you can do

[normal hull]

Can necks be tamed?

[limpid forum]

Are maces any good?

[tired root]

They have same primary attack pattern as swords and more knockback. Secondary attack has high damage, knockback and stagger.

They are also effective against certain enemies.

[normal ibex]

I like to do no boss runs on hard+ games, and honestly I don't think it'd even be possible if I didn't have frostner to deal with swordsmen and askvins safely without burning through too much of my arrow supplies.

[limpid forum]

Wait theres secondary attacks?
Im such a dumbass of course there is
The spears one is to throw it
Why didnt i think other weapons could do the same

[limpid forum]

I uh
Dont know what any of that means
Im still a bronze scrub lol

[normal ibex]

Oh, it just means I don't kill any bosses, which locks me out of a lot of end game gear.

So I'm using mountain gear, to fight things 3 biomes higher.

It would be like taking bronze gear into plains for funsies.

[limpid forum]

Ah
Is there a general rule of thumb to enemy weaknesses that you could assume?
Idk im still trying to figure out what weapon i should main, all i got is a sword and the bear claws to my name

[jolly tapir]

Dang....I feel like Moder should definitely be an exception lol

[normal ibex]

Moder unlocks tears and that lets me craft everything in the game.

Would defeat the point of a no boss run. Since technically that's the 'only' boss you need to kill to be able to build anything and everything.

Every biome has its own quirks but when starting out, I almost always main spears.

They attack fast, have a throw that you can use to take out enemies you don't always want to get up and personal with, and unlike bows you throw first instead of 'drawing' first.

[marble roost]

Pierce is generally the worst. A lot of enemies resist it, almost none are weak to it

Slash is pretty good all around. Not much weakness to it, but also very few have resistance to it

Blunt imo is best, because it is kinda like slash in that not many resist it, but also a lot of enemies are weak to it.

But it’s usually good to have two different damage types so you can swap depending on what enemy you face

[limpid forum]

Honestly i kind of assumed much but at least i have confirmation

Cheers

[normal ibex]

Yeah, by the time you get to mistlands, you usually want to start switching to either hammers or bows as a main.

Or go for magic once you have enough refined eitr.

[marble roost]

Don’t discount a weapon just because it’s pierce tho. IMO Bow, Atgeir, and Spear are super strong despite doing pierce

Just nice to have a mace in the back pocket

[normal ibex]

Bows also have the distinction of letting you exploit elemental weaknesses kind of like magic.

And the default bow you'll carry into ashlands have spirit damage, which just about all the charred enemies you'll find there will have a vulnerability to. And you can bring frost arrows that just about everything there is weak to as well.

And I don't know if devs just really like bows or something, but bows stack adrenaline 2x faster than melee weapons. So trinkets actually become really useful if you're using a bow with a high enough bow skill to rapid fire the thing.

[tired root]

There is way to tell about resistances and weaknesses indicated by the color of damage number:
White = enemy is neutral to that damage type,
Yellow = enemy is weak to that damage type,
Grey = enemy is resistant to that damage type.

[jolly tapir]

I don't use blunt weapons after swamp really. Didn't think they were good for anything afterward...

[normal ibex]

Frostner specifically is useful all the way into Ashlands.

[next ivy]

Hell, I've seen a dude parry twitchers and charred marksmen with a bronze buckler, then take em out with a copper knife.
Every real* weapon has its uses 🙂
(Fishing Rod and Tankard wouldn't be real weapons in my book, even though they do damage/block)

@spring gulch

[normal ibex]

The slow lets you circle seekers and askvins and exploit their slow turn speed. Doesn't matter how many stars they have if they can't actually turn fast enough to hit you.

You can also use the power attack to kill charred swordsmen without worrying about their feints and whatnot because the knockback guarantees their swing won't land.

Silver sword or Mistwalker is faster to be sure, but Frostner is 'safer' especially if you're playing harder modes where you can and do get 1 shot by certain enemies.

[jolly tapir]

I've never crafted a frostner lol. I've used my silver sword all the way up to Ashlands then crafted the mistwalker to deal with the other enemies faster

[normal ibex]

Higher blunt skill increases knockback too. Once your blunt skill breaks 70+ it gets really nice.

Specifically for the exploiting turn radius thing. That little extra bit of knockback while it's still facing away from you keeps you safe where a mistwalker can't.

Even with both weapons having frost proc.

[white slate]

knockback is the worst thing about maces for me

i wanna hit the enemy, not push them away

obviously in challenge runs u might want that but for normal game naah

[normal ibex]

Haha. I would agree with you but I have so many hours in the game that I have to find ways to keep things hard enough to not get bored.

And that usually means I either play hardcore, or some equivalent of VH or higher in terms of difficulty, or both.

That means safety over DPS more often than not.

Even if I'm not playing hardcore if enemies have 2~3x the hp, I like having higher skill levels to even the field a bit, and dying a lot would make it harder to maintain those levels.

[limpid forum]

Any tips for healing? Is there any poultices? Or do i really have to disengage and wait it out

[tired root]

Meads.

[normal ibex]

You can craft potions using kegs.

Health food will give you a higher heal per tick compared to stamina food, so take that into account as well if you want to speed up natural healing. And of course, always fight with rest bonus.

You can always top off if you need to by dropping a campfire anywhere and sitting next to one for 20 seconds with no enemies nearby.

[willow raft]

Not get hit, parry, block and dodge roll are your friends.

[normal ibex]

If things like trolls/bears keep getting you, it's not a bad idea to just load up a single player game, turn on god mode and practice parrying/dodge rolling until you can do it in your sleep.

It'll take you maybe an hour at the most but if you stop dying every time you make a mistake, it doesn't take that long to figure out their patterns. And valheim is very forgiving with their parry window compared to actual Soulslikes.

And this game actually takes into account your current hp/block skill vs enemy damage in their parry/block calculation, you can look up the exact formula if you're inclined, but you'll also get a general sense of what you can parry with what gear at certain difficulty levels.

The food you eat (or rather your HP) will matter too for parry/block calculation. Certain hits you can parry eating three health foods won't be possible to parry when you eat one health and two stamina for example.

[marble roost]

When I've played hard or vhard on permadeath, I liked to pick DPS or Stagger over all else

I wanted an enemy to be dead or stun locked, not knocked .5 meters away from me

But I can see how the knockback approach can be appealing

[limpid forum]

Honestly ive gotten good at dodging and parrying.
aight good to know. All i got to my names are meads but id win

[wraith adder]

hi guys is there a thing called stone portal in game??

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

[marble roost]

Yes, in last biome

[wraith adder]

in the last biome??? 😭

[marble roost]

in the last current biome

[wraith adder]

okey thenk u

[marble roost]

If you don't want to wait that long, you can always change the world options. Can set it to allow regular portals to portal metals

But many find that detracts from the travelling aspect of the game

[potent niche]

Ngl the traveling aspect is just afk in a boat for 20-30 minutes till I get back to base

If they added ocean content (which I know they won't) it could be more worth it to use regular portal settings

[true steeple]

going to ashlands early is also an option

[marble roost]

for me the travelling aspect is going for a 3 minute run to bring metal from a crypt or mountaintop to my base

Can't stand making a base at spawn and then transporting everything for an hour

[willow raft]

Same here, I make 1 main base in the meadows and eventually I'll take the time to bring some iron and silver over for upgrades and some building.
Most of iron and silver is used in a temporary forward base that once I'm done in the biome that the base is for it gets abandoned with only a portal left there, so I can go back if I ever need to be in the biome again.
Once I get into the plains and I find a plains that is next to a mistland I'll make a new main base and the meadows base is converted into a big farm / breeding base with a portal hub to not so frequently used portals.

Is there fishing? I see fish in the seas

You need to find trader who sells fishing rod.

if you don't find this trader there is also a rare POI in the 4th biome where you can find a fishing pole but very limited bait, the trader is not too hard to find there is some tricks, sometimes if unlucky just need to sail a lot

[sharp nova]

what are the most valuable things in frost caves besides crystals, necklaces, and vegvisirs?

[frosty frost]

Cultist trophies 😄

And honestly fenris hair

[tired root]

Yeah, Fenris hair and claws. You can make neat armor and weapon from them.

[sharp nova]

do fenrings appear in frost caves at night?

[frosty frost]

Nope

Only outside at night

[sharp nova]

so fenris hair is sometimes in da chests?

[frosty frost]

Rather on the walls near the altars and on the pedestals 🙂

[sharp nova]

ohh

[vapid warren]

Fenris hair is plentiful. Theyre also on walls in hallways,just break things

[faint warren]

Anyone have join problems last night

Like if you were joining your friends sorry gotta specify

[drowsy crane]

AFK? I wouldn't dare miss a chance to put on a sea shanty and sing to the fish while I bring my hard earned materials home. 😨

[faint warren]

Guess that's a no, keep in mind no service is provided by Valheim itself.

#screenshots message How do I place corewood beams in the direct center of these existing beams?

[thorn spire]

I think if you attach a 26 roof top piece, snapping the centre to the end of your corewood beam, the bottom edge of it should match the centre of your beam.

[barren rivet]

you ought to be able to snap a new beam onto whatever the beam next to it is snapped on? you know about the different snapping points i assume?

alternate snapping points like by pressing Q or E with a building piece out? i think thats hotkeys unless i changed them

[sharp nova]

rudemann got it yacko.

'preciate it.

i JUST realized what you meant too lol sorry.

[sharp nova]

it's alright ☺️ 🍹 don't beat yusself up.

[sharp nova]

i do that to fortify my beams with woodiron

mozzironella *stick

[jolly tapir]

Fenrings don't drop fenris hair. Ironically....actually they drop nothing remotely useful 🤣

[normal ibex]

Their trophy makes for a cool trinket though.

[iron talon]

Where do you find volture and volture eggs easiest? Coast?

[tired root]

The nests are found everywhere, but coasts are maybe little easier areas to manage.

[finite goblet]

Volture nests

Look for piles of feathers and askvin skulls

[vapid warren]

You see the voltures before you see the nest, sometimes you can see them further away inland, but easier to manage on coast yes

[finite goblet]

Voltures can also spawn in the oceans with the spikes

Obviously, dont go looking for them there

[thorn spire]

you need the trophy for bait

[normal ibex]

I know you need it to catch tetra but I feel like those frost cave ponds always deposit their tetra just outside the pond.

I don't think I've ever actually bothered fishing for em. I just walk up to the pond and grab all the fish laying at the edge.

[thorn spire]

yeah, that's fair. There aren't usually more than one or two still in the pool.

[normal ibex]

That's one thing I would love to see fixed at some point. I love making fish ponds in my base, but I end up spending a lot of time throwing fish back in the water.

[twin sundial]

is the game done yet

[frosty frost]

No it is not fully released yet

[twin sundial]

ty gamer

I remember playing during covid and would love to get back to it

[frosty frost]

You certainly can 😄 lots of stuff was added since covid times

[vapid warren]

If you havent played since thrn you still have 100+ hours of new gameplay to get through and plenty of sidestuff and changes

[wraith adder]

how much time does it take to make a stone portal in ashlands in your opinion??

and how far is it i think 30 45 min boat ride i guess

[frosty frost]

With a bit of luck you can get it pretty much as soon as you land if htere is a morgen cave nearby

[true steeple]

I've never done it. It won't take very long if you don't die but if you haven't been to ashlands yet and you're going early you will die a lot

[wraith adder]

so we dont actually need to go to ashlands that early i guess i should stick around in my little base more

imma sail those scrap irons back to base 😭

[south lance]

so i unlocked the blast furnance, is there an equivalent charcoal kiln? i would like to smelt more than 25 wood at one time so i dont have to make like 10 charcoal kilns to get sufficient coal.

[willow raft]

Not really but you can either build more of the charcoal kilns or make a portal circle to all the surtling spawners you can find in the swamps.

[south lance]

is there a deconstructor in the game? would make transporting ore through portals possible for me

like make a ton of nails, teleport, deconstruct back into ore.

[normal ibex]

No, but you can enable metal teleporting through portals from the world settings.

[elder cypress]

me and my friend were in the ashlands, and 3 morgen came out of the ground, one of them was a one star, it was pure daytime, is this some sort of event?

PTB?

[compact heath]

public test branch

[elder cypress]

no

[barren rivet]

oof. i've had two come out right next to each other before, forget if it was day or night. never had 3 at once. i think they do sometimes spawn near on top of each other, probly RNGesus just came down to smite you.

[compact heath]

hm strange, 3 seems above normal spawn limit unless something really weirrd going on with zone border spawns

[white shadow]

anyone else experience stuttering? I got the game 2 days ago everything runs fine just micro stutters every few seconds iv tried high and low settings and tried changing the render distance with the dev commands haven't been able to fix it anyone had this problem or know any fixes?

[tired root]

There can be more than one at the same time in form of those that emerge from ground around the ruined areas in Ashlands.

Those are one time spawners, they can also have stars from those spawners.

[compact heath]

yeah I thought 2 not 3

[jolly tapir]

Is there a trick to getting serpents to spawn? Bc I've sailed all night, during storms, and they just don't show up....

[vapid warren]

are you actually in ocean biome?

[tired root]

Did you remember praying Rngsus?

Jk, but yeah they don't spawn always each night. But sometimes they might spawn bit further and be easily missed.

[hushed sigil]

U need to have valuable cargo and low ship hp and have spent ages getting said cargo and then they show up

[marble roost]

This ^
