Valheim

This is our hand-drawn map of our immersive-mode Valheim map - I sail while my partner maps on the boat. We call out terrain observations, bearing, etc while we're sailing.

Currently, we're settled on a Plains island in the south, four days' sail from spawn, and have established a full base in preparation for Ashlands.

So, I've been playing immersive mode. We just took down Queen, which was a pretty good challenge, and packed up the essentials and went all the way from the deep north to the (completely unexplored) edge of the Ashlands. Deciding what to pack on the longboat was a huge challenge, and we forgot some stuff, but made it work.

One thing we took a risk on: we brought a stack of beech seeds. Turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip! Once the initial round of tree planting was done, we had an inexhaustible source of super convenient wood without having to travel for it.

Does anyone else have any base bootstrapping tips?

A story in pictures and a few words. So, Valheim's stupid asshole RNG sent me on half a world tour just to get to the Elder:

On the bright side, Haldor happened to be right next to the Elder. Like, really right next to it:

Usually I'd erect two or three indestructible pillars with the hoe to defeat the Elder. It's pretty easy anyways, but I wondered if it had the same restrictions as all the regular mobs when it comes to Haldor's force field. Turns out, it has. If you're inside Haldor's force field the Elder will just go on an erratic demented stroll through the woods (quite fitting) and just randomly shoot in all directions instead of attacking you.

Even easier picking than usual :)

In case you want to experience it yourself, the world seed is 3Wy3wVd6Lj

It seems like the nodes I find using wishbone are small and underwater. Are they even worth it?

You clean up stumps because it is the correct and responsible thing to do

I clean up stumps to hide the evidence of mass deforestation

We are not the same

Not sure if advertising is allowed here (please remove if not), but I recently set up a dedicated server and am looking for to invite anyone interested in a more casual pace to come join us. We’re a US East based server with around seven active players and only a few QOL mods installed to keep the experience as close to vanilla as possible. If anyone is interested follow the link in this post for more details or shoot me a DM

The time has come for all those who have stocked up on gold from troll caves and fuling villages! Said gold is the prime currency in the world of Valheim after all, and there's a new vendor in the tenth realm where you can spend your riches.

My friend and I made a hardcore world this Monday and have been playing 6-8 hours daily, but have not had a single raid yet. We killed the first two bosses already. Maybe it's a bug with the pts? Maybe we're just incredibly lucky? I can't believe I'm asking for troll raids, but the leather would have been nice for armor.

Hello,

Steam Deck had a small update last night and it completely broke the game controls. I am using the Daimyo Valheim v3 layout, which is maps everything to keyboard and mouse keys. Since the update, the on screen keyboard doesnt come up when trying to interact with a sign to change the text, and if you go into the map to try and create a pin with text, it completely breaks. You can't exit the map most of the time but if you do, your character can't move and most of the controls stop working.

Anyone have any ideas how to resolve, or if this issue was seen previously?

Is there anyway to have R2modman run along side a Valheim docker container? Trying to find a way to make it easier for folks that are not as technical to run their mods on a server.
The situation currently is running docker on Windows and I have them running R2modman on windows and exporting/copying the r2modman profile data directory to the data directory used in the docker container and then restarting the docker container.
I had the user try to change the profile directory over to the docker data directory to directly write to it, but it gave an error that there was data already there, so I thought that might be a bad idea.

Does anyone here use a purely magic build? I’m experimenting with it at the moment but would like to hear what others are doing.

What foods do you eat? I’m currently using 2X Eitr and one stamina but it leaves me with very little health.

Do you wear the full mage gear or mix and match with some heavier armour? I’m using the full mage set at the moment.

I do fine against regular seekers but fights with soldiers take longer than if I just bashed it with a melee weapon. I took down a gjall but it was pretty sketchy and took a while too. Hits from its fireballs popped my protection bubble almost immediately so I spent a lot of time dodging and recasting the bubble.

I don’t have the frost staff yet so I’m guessing that will make things a bit easier by slowing enemies.

Hello! Richard Svensson ( Creator of Valheim & Founder of Irongate ) here, just found out about Lemmy. Nice going setting up a Valheim community here!

May Oden give you strength!

Tank that for me plz, kk thx! Abominations never seem to disappoint.

It’s nice to see valheim on Lemmy but it’s kinda quiet here at the moment so I thought I’d ask what you’re next planning to do in valheim?

I’m currently just kind of idling whilst waiting for the latest update to leave beta. I don’t really want to explore any more of my map until it’s released. In the meantime I think I’m going to try and defeat yagluth (no spoilers please!) so I’ve been preparing for that, raising an earth wall around the area, brewing meads, making a safe area to rest if I need it etc.

skol!
