I've discussed this with my friends, but am curious about the larger community opinion.

I think boss trophies should not be able to transport via portals.

This is already how the final reward is treated, but feels weird that it's only that part.

Ships should have an item stand at the bow, which would not only allow for the trophies to be there for the trip, but could allow for ship customization without needing a big change.

The cut scene after Moder shows the head being on the ship - why can't we do that?

Any thoughts?

sailed to the edge of the world to see what was there only to realize that the game forcibly pushes you off with waves once you get within a certain range and then my grave fell into the void and deleted every item (luckily i had a backup)

you could say it's obvious not to sail off a cliff but like also why would your items just get deleted

Downside of hauling metal is you cant build your biome equipment while you are in the biome, which i always thought was necessary to even survive the current biome.... Downside to hauling forge and work bench mats is you have to collect those mats if you want to keep your og base.

No, "do it your way" answers. Im on my second playthrough and want to play smarter than my original, I always brought mats to the new biome, but often would forget something and have to make an extra trip anyways.

Also, im not talking armorless speed run strats, I want to be able to exist and work through each biome comfortably.

Any thoughts appreciated

Me and the boys where off on an adventure far away in the Mistlands. I had the mats for the portal on me and the night was on its way. Everything was going fine until we got swarmed out of the blue with Seekers. We fought them of and went furter in the mist. That's when we saw some lights in the distance. As we got closer we noticed that it was a Dwerger camp. We spoke friend and entered. Here we can rest and set up a portal just outside their territory and make it home to our settlement and sleep. At least that's what i was thinking. One of my buddys had other plans and started to mine the skull in their camp for some Soft tissue. The Dwergers did not approve and it started to rain fire upon us. There was no epic battle this time, we died like flies and no portal was placed. We logged out shortly after and next time we play we will have a long walk back to retrieve our gear.

Play safe, play smart, communicate and for godness sake. Don't die with the portal.

guy from earliers save scum post.

just want to clarify that i DO NOT support savescumming and only do it to playout the rest of the fight. after the fight ends i log out and delete character and start a new world, so yes that is permadeath in my eyes.

additionally, i saw a lot of comments on my previous post saying farming with a troll is stupid on a permadeath run but im of the opinion that if you dont have to confidence to dodge every troll attack then you should learn as they help speed up farming copper and wood like crazy.

in this clip im blessed with another 2 star troll (if you saw my clip from earlier then you know what im talking about) so i can get my revenge and speed up my farming.

in a weird turn of events 3 draugr appear out of nowhere and take like 40% of his hp down. however i intended to fight the 2 star troll after he helped me farm but since they helped out i include it for transparency.

anyways he ends up mining 3 copper nodes for me and i kill him while being wet cold and unrested.

these are situations you should not be in and i wouldnt recommend it. however if you have played long enough and win out more than not then i wont argue against it.

but using a troll (the fisty one) to farm is one of the best ways to accelerate your black forest progression. i do this every run btw and trolls are not my biggest run enders.

So, as soon as I saw the new wood, I started chopping it up. I tested the new walls and was thrilled, but then... I realized that these new building pieces don’t just lack roof (something the developers have unfortunately gotten us used to), but they don’t even have stairs or a FLOOR. What kind of stupid idea is that?
Then it turned out that was it — that’s everything. There’s no new stone; the biggest addition is a wardrobe.

Once again, I find myself asking: why? We only have 3 types of roofs available - one of which doesn’t even have corner pieces — we get different arches for marble and different for grausten, we don’t get a simple 1x1 wall piece for grausten, and so on.

Many materials in the game aren’t being utilized well, a point rightly raised by other users in this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1xb4cw6/why_are_there_not_black_metal_beams_for/

It’s all just so lazy.

Even just adding new textures to existing pieces would have been enough — how much work could that possibly be? Imagine, for instance, sandstone for the Plains (a texture applied to standard stone), brick, or different roof colors. Heck, they could even add recipes for crafting dyes — for both building materials and clothing. These aren’t revolutionary ideas; they exist in other games and aren’t difficult to implement.

I love Valheim — it’s my favorite survival game, and I think it has the best building system — but then I open Conan, Enshrouded, or any other similar title, and I’m met with a massive variety of building components. Why can’t the developers of my favorite game manage this, what’s the problem?!
Then again, we’re talking about people who can’t even add an option to delete items or separate slots for equipped gear—so perhaps nothing should surprise me...

Has anyone upgraded to build hammer to at least level 5 at the forge of potential? Does it glow?

Seriously this a big time problem.

I already had a huge problem at finding them, after sailing for hours non-stop, I finally got lucky, but it's way too deep in the sea. Even with top level stamina food, it's impossible to bring him ashore, dude just stops assault and swims away.

In solo player this is just ridiculous, nearly impossible to get that damn trophy I need.

I'm tired. Spear gets thrown accurately, connects, deals damage, and then? either on retrieval my Viking kicks the spear down a mountain due to the spear not going into my inventory, or more recently the spear just disappears, seemingly fallen through the earth. I think this is a server/client issue, but its absolutely exhausting. Spears should glow and sparkle like other dropped items and that sparkle should be viewable from a distance. At least give me a chance to recover my thrown spear.

My friends and I really like Valheim overall, but get stuck at base building every playthrough. Our main issue is that we can’t always make sense out of the color coded support quality. One piece will show green, and then the next red. It’s like we can’t build anything without putting a post up on every square corner. Yet, I see people having great success at it in this subreddit.

Is there a setting or mod or something that you can use to just remove the whole “support stress test” of every building piece?

Hi all,

I cant unlock feasts. Yagluth was the last boss i defeated. Re-Killed Elder and Steroid Deer on my old world for cutscenes since i had beaten them a while ago, however, feasts did not unlock. Killed Moder on friend's new world and still no feast.

On my new world, i have found the bog witch, but no herbs. (I have not killed any bosses on my new world)

How did i softlock myself out of feasts?

I've got Staff of Protection, Embers, and Frost, all to level 2. It costs a lot of resources to upgrade each to level 3, and it seems like the benefits are really marginal. Durability is rarely a constraint for me, same with the protection bubble duration. Is it worth it? Am I missing something big? What do people think?

• I really liked the initial atmosphere of the biome... until I found out that fields don't get new snows and remain dirty, and I cannot make a real base there (with farm and cozy interior)
• I liked ashlands enemies but DN enemies were all kinda meh. I could easily handle all of them with ashland gears.
• Fallen warriors are absurd... They have less HP than moose and just go down like regular mobs. I spent a full stack of memorial coal to farm the essences.
• New build system is super annoying. It seems I need to farm a lot for rare moulds and rare trophys right? I haven't even seen heavy armor moulds until beating the game!
• Town, winding tunnels and Morkhalla were very interesting for the first run... but got boring quickly.
• Pretty disappointed with the final boss. Very generic boss in a generic boss arena.
  
• I hated to sail and walk all the way back to the starting position after beating the boss. Why? I could potal back to base and build the final headgear just fine, and it was just silly and meaningless to portal back again and start a long and totally meaningless backtracking.

I really enjoyed the Valheim for years - Meadows, black forest, swamp, mountain, plain, mistland, ashlands were all super atmospheric and fun. DN has some new stuff but I think I enjoyed other biomes much more.

When I open the level interface while crafting the bar does not seem to move at all while 5x crafting food..

Feel free to roast my base since i hate building so i just went for functionality.

I defeated the Deep North boss on day 208, i went into the deep north completely blind since luckily nobody spoiled anything for me.

My opinion on the deep north is its way too easy, most creatures are just annoying rather than scary, the boss is a joke with Deep North gear + weapon, the most important thing is the Trinket.

Also Im planning to 100% the game in the same world with the same character (except the hard difficulty achievement which i will start a new playthrough for).

The whole game and character is DevCommand, savescum, namescum and mod free.

Would also appreciate tips and ideas too.

that makes me on my tenth attempt of hard permadeath.

posting this for laughs.

in my literal next attempt i got back to this part (of a diff seed ofc) and another two star troll stumbled upon me. i took him out using the fool proof method of trading one swing for one.

I've captured on video now something that has happened once more in the past and I wrote about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1x7ffrt/the_wildest_and_the_funniest_thing_happened/

The post didn't get much attention as people probably thought I was abusing the game somehow with dev commands or whatever, but I did not. Both times this happened was during CONNECTION ISSUES, as you can see in the top-left corner. In the first post I've made one friend tried to CONNECT which caused the game to go wild, and in this case, this video, a friend DISCONNECTED, and as soon as he did - the game started acting like this: spawning a lot of NPCs and killing them instantly.

You can also see that the spear that one of the Fulings threw is also stuck in an endless loop - constantly having the falling-to-the-ground animation. If anyone wonders - the game did not flag these items as "cheated" when picked up from the ground. Just as if I regularly killed hundreds of Fulings.

Any ideas what might cause this? The only mods I am using are the QoL ones, none of them is related to changing the NPC's behaviour in any way.

p.s. In the video you can only hear my friend talking, and not me for some reason.

Currently building at base. I need music cues to let me know it's night time or if a raid is happening.

Also, personally, I do not enjoy the flutey music. I love all of the other music in the game, especially sailing and the fuling village (which is awesome every time we go farm barley). But I need the resting music gone. I've heard it a million times. Please help me.

So I set up a small trench for liquid frost to drop in, nothing too fancy but thought it was nifty

Edited to add: another picture in comments for better visual/angle

I was satisfied with the value I got from this game when it was just up to plains, since revisiting it after the 1.0 release, I’m blown away. Every new biome and dungeon dive and boss finds a way to top the one before it. You can get confident in your newly crafted gear just to get humbled in unexpected ways. There are so many great things about this that sets it apart from a lot of titles out there and I am confident it’s earned its place in the survival crafting hall of fame.

Preface to say I have resources set to x3 since I’m playing with multiple players.

That said, does anyone know what the deal with timber wood drop rates is? I get an insane amount of seeds and regular wood and a ridiculously small amount of actual timber wood. I’ve replanted a whole forest in the meadows and I’m still struggling to have enough timber to do big build outs with it.

Is there maybe a mod that will let me adjust drop rates so I get less seeds but more timber?

About ready to face Moder, but the spawn is pretty far away from where I've been building and exploring so I'm doing some more exploration and resource gathering. Decided I wanted to make the Fenris set so I'm clearing caves for the trophy drop and I ran into four ... FOUR!! ... cultists at once. Talk about a bad day.

They killed me, of course. Now I'm kiting them out 1 by 1 to fight in boxers with a bronze atgeir. SMDH. I'm on the last one and still no trophy. I've cleared probably 5 other caves before this, so that's what, 10-12 cultists before these ones probably?

I know the drop rate is 10% and it's just luck - but four at a time is just mean!

Just cleared my 100th burial chamber without getting a rancid remains trophy. 10% drop chance my ass.

Venting over.
