Part 2 is out guys! -> EVEN MORE mistakes that you need to stop making: th-cam.com/video/wLTLh8paG1E/w-d-xo.html That one is even more loaded, check it out!
I'd add keeping a Rested Buff up as much as possible. You can even drop a fire in the middle of nowhere (if it's raining build a little shelter) and sit down to gain a 1 comfort and an 8 minute rested buff. The rested buff is honestly one of the best buffs in the game and I'm shocked how many people don't prioritize keeping it up.
It also grants a +50% XP bonus that isn't mentioned in the game - considering how insanely long skills take to level, that's definitely something to keep in mind!
When mining iron in the crypt, I'll put a fire inside just in front of the entrance. I can easily get my rested buff back. Pretty useful especially if you're about to hop to another crypt evading the mobs and blobs
@@agnesclarenbaut5607 yeah but what happens if you have multiple portals in multiple biomes. The world is humungous and it’s not going to be easy to keep track in places that look almost identical
I like to explore, I was mapping out the perimeter of our island and after a lot of walking I ended up in the plains. After the deathsquito killed me I made four rescue attempts on my body that didn't succeed. A week later in real time, not game time, a friend that was much farther in the game escorted me to get my stuff back.
Yeah, several of my deathsquito and drake deaths were in the meadows or dark forest. Just got too close to the edge, sometimes without even knowing there were plains there.
The deathsquitos can be easily one shot by practically any bow. I regularly hunted them and the huge "bison" for meat without any iron gear as no swamp had offered a crypt yet. Didn't star hunting crypts until a 2 star "goblin" two shot me.
The first hing you should do when making landfall on a new island should be to put down a new portal. And always carry a temp portal in your inventory. Boats should only be for exploring and hauling resources back home. If you have boats standing around, or sail both ways for supply runs... you are doing it wrong. A tip for the bronze tier grind: find a troll cave on the coast somewhere, with atleast 3 chests inside and plenty of copper and tin sources nearby. The chests inside are safe. You can put down a workbench and portal just outside the cave, go out mining, drop off the ores in the cave chests, and go though the portal for repairs. When you feel done with mining, you can portal back home, get the materials for a ship, build it at the cave, load it up with ore and sail back home. If you need multiple trips, just break the boat at home, portal back and repeat the one-way-journey.
When mining copper, put the small fence around the mine area to keep greydwafs from bothering you. They will swipe at the fence a few times and grumble. You can then dig out the area overnight. Just drop a camp fire in work zone to keep warm. Most deposit areas will be around 70-90 copper.
I always leave my ship unattended. Just mark where it is on your map so you can find it again and make sure there is nothing nearby, then leave. Nothing can attack it when the area is unloaded.
I'd add: Being overly reluctant about establishing outposts. Considering that ores and metals cannot be teleported and it's quite possible that their associated biomes are far away from where you decided to build your first big base, you typically have two options: 1: Hauling it all back home with your ship (that is, if that is even the quickest route home) which can take quite a while, especially since you don't unlock the Longboat until you have iron and you first need to bring the iron home to start processing it. 2: Building another base. Nothing fancy, just some basic defenses, a crafting station, a forge... whatever you need just to survive out there and actually process your new ores rightaway. In many cases I'd argue that the second option is more efficient, for the following reasons: a) You get to upgrade your gear as you go, thus making the actual farming easier. This is most relevant with silver ore since you need silver to make the wolf armour and parts of the wolf armour come with freezing resistance. If you don't process your silver locally but haul it all back to a distant base first, you are much more reliant on making sufficient amounts of mead and might even have to stop mining if you run out. b) Time efficiency. You don't have a long mining phase, a long hauling phase and then a long smelting phase. Just fill up your inventory with ore, get it back to your local base and start smelting it whilst you go out again. c) Safety. OK, let's assume you've just spent several hours getting a full longship storage worth of iron ore. 18 slots times 30 ore per stack is 540. Now, the ship is full and you are headed home again. All of the sudden: Bang! A bug destroys your ship and you lose all that ore because it sinks to the ground, all that work for nothing. Or a storm sinks you. Or you fall victim to a serpent attack and are all out of arrows. If you have to haul all of your ore across large distances, you have to haul large quantities in order for it to be efficient. But if you haul large quantities, you also risk losing large quantities.
I love building so I built five bases, one in the middle of my island, and four on the coast at the cardinal directions. Each ahs all the workbences upgraded to my maximum ability, so I can make and repair at any of them. I'ver yet to reach the Mountain or plains, and they will get outposts as well. I shall leave Valheim a place where any future vikings can sheltrer whereever they wander.
I see a lot of people not eating if they are just doing stuff around the base. So then they are running around with 25 health when they get raided and end up running around waiting for the health to kick in, or they just forget to eat in the excitement and then complain that stamina is a problem. One of my personal rules is "always stay full". Granted I don't eat the "good" stuff when base building, but it's enough to take care of raids if they happen.
I usually eat one lower tier thing. When we got sausages, I'd keep one food slot full on cooked meat or cooked neck tail. When we started making lox pies and blood pudding and stuff, I would keep one slot on turnip stew or sausages. That way you aren't using up your A Game stuff just to tinker with your construction project or smelting ore but still have 65 or 70 health and fair stamina.
I found the best way to mine copper is to mine around the node until it is pretty much clear, then just go back and forth stripping off layers until you have it all.
@Mike Goodwalk I have seen that said but the nodes I encountered all had a floor to them. I could only dig so deep into the earth and then hit a level where it just wouldn't let me go down any further, so I could never get under any of them.
The portal named "Exploration" in my base has allowed me to probably skip 20 hours of needless traveling so far. It is always in my base. Inactive. An d when I go out at sea. I always have on my boat what's needed to build a portal and a workbench. If I find something cool. I can just plop down the portal. Name it Exploration. Go back to base. Get more materials. And build a more permanent portal pair. Listen to that tip in the video. Save yourself a lot of time and a lot of tediousness. Have an exploration portal always ready to be paired up.
@@tippyc2 Burial Chambers. Hit up every single one you find. Mark it on your map first and then left click the mark when you're done. Or there are Surtling spawners in the swamps.
I think tip #3 is something that more people need to grasp. Some people, me included, want to rush things and be able to progress at their own pace but valheim isn't really a game you can do that. I learned that very quickly and had to adapt, then I realized that spending a little extra time in the beginning of each stage to prepare for the next makes the ending that much easier and even more enjoyable.
Definitely. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail is the name of the game with Valheim. Don't think making a road into the black forest for your cart is worth it and just wasting time? Wrong. You will just spend way longer manually carrying small amounts of ore around. Don't think spending the time to do another trip or two for ore and fully upgrading your gear is worth it? Wrong. It will just hurt you with more deaths if you don't do it.
I'd love to hear more about the technical things that shouldn't be done on a server environment (leaving trees, terraforming all the bad stuff that make the game run worse)
Good video but there is really no need to destroy your ship. Yes it can get attacked but if you park it close to shore you will be able to recover all the resources and if nothing happens then you save yourself having to carry it around in your slots. The only drawback is that you have to go back to it. Just be sure to put a mark on the map so you can definitely find it.
I use to do this but now I leave my boat far enough out we’re I can still swim to it, helps my swimming and NPCs don’t want to swim to it to destroy it
Mistake 6B: not putting a Cart ON your Karve! Seriously, i felt like freaking Einstein when i built flooring over the boat, moved the cart on to it then deleted the flooring so it fell directly into the boat and wedges it agains tthe mast. Transporting large amounts of ore and other items was so easy at that point. Just had to make sur you didnt go into the Ocean biome...
@@therealbahamut Nope even then the cart stayed on the boat. Its JUST small enough to fit both wheels into it, and if you push and nudge it enough, you can get the handles just past the mast, jump on the other side and pick up the cart and pull it tight. Was largely centered and didnt move at all. Worked so well. Now ive got a longboat with two carts on it lol
Just keep your ship some ways away from shore and it'll be fine. Chances of sea serpent coming along near the shoreline are literally none, so keeping it a short swim away will keep it safe. And this way it'll be always there when you need to make a hasty getaway.
If a sea serpent comes, just turn the ship to whatever direction you get the best wind and you will get away, but that probably does not work on the raft but I would recommend to not make any sea voages until you unluckily the first actual boat.
Your first tip isn't too valid when the game has the ability to create paths and carts not to mention that the higher the ground level the better you can build trenches that dont fill in with water to increase the depth for enemies to be unable to damage a base. Also the most effective way to transport Metal and Ore is to transfer it world to world and not waste time in the boat at all KeKW. The fact in tip 3 you're fighting Furlings with an Axe shows how unprepared you were, I hope it was for example. Knockback and bows are the best way to fight Furlings to break up their mobs and snipe from distance LUL. Tip number 8 is hilarious for 2 reasons, number 1 you didnt mention to full repair the boat to get all the materials back and number two it is you can leave the boat out further from the coast in deeper water where enemies are in "swimming animation" and cant actually attack. All my server users build bases in the plains hills area leaving boats unattended off the coast and none have been destroyed. Otherwise you have pointed out a lot of mistakes ppl make and I commend your efforts sir.
@@corruptparagon Hey, yeah tip 3 was for show, I wasn't playing the game: I was recording footage for this video. Besides the whole point of that mistake is that you venture into biomes - unprepared - (like I also said in the video). Showcasing this, IMO, makes the footage at tip 3 perfectly fit the narrative. Tip 1: yes you can worldhop but at that point the whole point becomes moot. And yes, you can build paths to a base elsewhere but you'll still have to travel the same distance I was talking about. For tip 8, you don't need to full repair to get all materials. Honestly don't know what you're talking about, since I was destroying it with a weapon anyways. Your second point of leaving the ship in the distance is indeed a valid alternative. I prefer smashing the ship for the flexibility it gives (I can continue sailing from any point at the shore after I'm finished). Thanks for the commendation!
I always have a blank portal at base and keep some portal mats on me or on my boat. You never know what you'll run into and if you need a quick way back to base to clear your inventory or repair, just plop a portal down, repair/dropoff items and continue exploring
I have a unique hate for the slowness of the cart: it's quicker to run through the swamp multiple times with a belt then getting a cart through it for iron, take a travel portal for stone/wood, it's ok for copper but that's not often far from your starting point so running again is mostly quicker & if you dare put a worth while amount of metal in there good luck getting across anything over a half stair high! I just watch my friends struggle and use carts for larger storage systems instead!!
as a beginner i had no idea about the big fury beast in the plains, the yeti or whatever it was and the dragon.... lots of spoilers for a things to avoid for begginers styled video IMO
Very useful tips, I didn’t know you can mine that deep of a copper node and I’ve already defeated the 5th boss. Note on #8, if you are far away from your ship, the entity actually unloads so it’s perfectly safe. So the best thing to protect your ship is to run away from it as fast as possible (of course you still need to kill anything that’s already attacking your ship first)
Next time you find a deposit or silver vein, try just digging out all the dirt around it to completely expose it first. You'd be surprised just how big ores actually are.
7:51 re, unattended ships You don't need to destroy a boat to keep it safe. Just park it in water deep enough that the enemies are fully swimming. If they're swimming, they can't damage it, even if they try to attack it. The exceptions are the swamp, where leaches can attack from water and the draugr and skelis do the Pirates of the Caribbean underwater walk. They can attack, at least the archers for sure, and do damage. In the plains, the skeeters can attack from air, but if you're off the shore a bit, you'd need a really unlucky spawn or something else from a nearby biome kite it near the boat for it to get in target/attack range.
Not only do I build near the ocean, if it's not literally right up against the shore, I'll dig up a little port leading right up to a dock connected to my base.
Mistake 1: Make a road to the coast, and leave Carts there. Boom. Problem solved. It's a little extra effort, but not everyone wants a beach side view. Or simply set up a small outpost on the beach so you can deposit the ores and get on with your adventures.
Yes, reason no.1 is what bothered the crap out of me when playing in my friends world. I think thistles can multiply if you leave 1 there to respawn more and trolls helps you get fine wood early when you haven't got bronze yet.
Mark your map when you find mushrooms, berries, & thistles. I use the ● and tag them with BB, RB, CB, MUSH, TH. They regrow in the same spots. Every few game days we (hubs & I) do foraging runs. We don't NEED the items but we like to keep the boxes stocked. We hunt while out getting the fruits & fungus.
Here's my PSA. Bronze nails sink to the bottom of the water when you destroy your ship. I learned that the hard way when the water was too deep for me to retrieve the nails after I destroyed my ship.
If that happends again, get some stones, a hoe and u can get youre nails back through terraforming (raising the ground level right where the nails are .
If you stand on the boat and chop the main mast, when the boat is destroyed all the construction parts immediately go to inventory (if you do not become encumbered)
Nice video. I once came to beautiful spot, and was in love. Peaceful spot next to water, i was so high i decided this will be my base number 2. Later i found it was lake.
@@jamikuittinen5063 haha i can laugh in hindsight. At the time it was such a disaster. It was suuuuper far from my base and I didn't have any portal materials. I set up a temp base on the third try in order to have a closer respawn but then i lost it to a troll haha. I had three boats and three sets of gear stuck out there for a long time. It is pretty funny.
@@Daniel-zg5mb Whilst I was exploring coastal area trying to find a merchant on my seed, I died twice to death squitos coming out from the land and blowing up my boat. Took me 2 more weeks to go and get back my stuff.
1 - Did that, only to discover I built it in a huge lake. 2 - Never did this because I'm a kleptomaniac. 3 - I do this on purpose I use the enemy difficulty to practice dodges/parries etc. 4 - I'm always thinking with Portals; got a portal labelled "Raid" for the one I keep on my person/long boat. 5 - See Hulk appearance in Thor: Ragnarök. 6 - I'd say skip the Raft entirely if you've got black forest on you starting island (which you will) and just move straight to the Karve. 7 - This one I didn't know until I beat the (current) last boss, though I sorta half-discovered this when I found that all the silver veins we found had a lot more in them than previously thought. 8 - To avoid having your boat destroyed... destroy your boat. :D 9 - I have the opposite problem; I bring too much food. 10 - "And here is where I keep my two-stars. IF I HAD ANY!"
Leaving ships unattended is okay as long as you park them away from the shore so things can't walk up and hit them. Swamps are an exception since leeches swim. Just make sure you clear your landing zone before you wander off and your ship will usually be fine.
Not so so, happened to me several times. Left the ship a swim away from the shore. Next thing I know, I'm buring bronze ingots again for the nails. If you want to leave your ship as is, dig a shallow shore for your ship, then leave it there. If it breaks down, you can always get your materials back unlike off shore, it sinks down.
@@projectredeemer2981 I've left my ships unattended for days at a time. I've even lost track of a couple only to find them days later untouched. As long as there's nothing wading out into the shallows or shooting your ship with a bow, it's generally fine. That's part of what makes getting iron so stressful sometimes; having to find a safe spot to leave your ship in a biome where leeches stalk the shallows and draugr archers fire at everything, to say nothing of wraiths. Try placing a workbench near it to push out some monster spawns and increase its safety.
@@therealbahamut I see, I might do that, but yeah, what I've been doing can really add more time to the gameplay, but I do see it necessary instead of chopping the ship down into materials.
@@projectredeemer2981 Yeah I prefer not to chop the ship up all the time because then that just loads your inventory with stuff, reducing what you can bring back. You could build some chests if you find or build a nearby structure to claim but then you're really settling in for the long haul anyway.
@@projectredeemer2981 If you leave it within range of a workbench it should be good. Only time I've ever had boats go boom is if something destroys it.
I made the first mistake of making a large base away from the water, so I dug out a road to the ocean and built a dock on the edge of the coast. Now I have an easy access road with a cart I can take back and forth so I don’t make so many trips with items I collect from elsewhere. Gotta say it’s not as easy as being right next to the ocean...but that road I spent a couple hours on looks so good.
Meh, only the healing meads. They aren't that great to begin with and need so many berries and honeys that your bottle neck won't be dandelions unless you actively try to never pick them up.
"Nobody likes to take more time to complete a task than necessary" Well, unless you enjoy the time it takes.... But yes these are all good tips lol On leaving the ship unattended though, if you just let it stay out in the water maybe 10 feet away from the shore, if it's deep enough nothing swimming can attack it.
Sometimes your first Island was really big, a base at central let you can target next boss with ease. My base was near north side and my elder was at south and need much longer trip than moving by cart.....
Also...not using the sheltering/rested system whenever you can. It is quite easy to get shelter and a fire going just about anywhere. Out in the wild? Not a problem. Just hop into a dungeon/troll cave/crypt and light a fire, wait a minute and then get your 10min buff. Or just dig a diagonal hole into the ground until you get some earth over your head, or even a simple tree/rock overhang. It makes a really big difference in your regen.
Not using powers often enough. I have Eikthyr normally but everytime I find myself in a situation where popping it would be convinient, I simply don´t because I might really need it pretty soon. Then I end up not using in for 3 hours.
The best tip anyone can receive for this game is to learn how to use a shield. Learning how to parry attacks with a shield is a MUST! Timing your shield usage to parry an attack will stagger your opponent and you'll be able to get some strong hits in.
@Mike Goodwalk Monsters will attack/can damage portals. Just had our destroyed twice by last boss. At least putting a fence around stops them from being destroyed by troll event. Not so sure about goblin event...
I can not stress the use of the wagon! Keep your wagon under 1300 and you can sprint over any bump (as required) or up stairs. 90 Silver Ore is 1260, plus what you can carry on your person without penalty. Use the wagon to deliver cargo to your ship to return to your base. A long ship can carry 18 slots so that's up to 540 Ore!. Today a buddy of mine and I found 7 silver spots almost side by side it was just shy of 600 silver ore. Full long ship and we were loaded. I dread to think of how long it would have taken to transport down the mountain and to the ship without a cart. As it was we consolidated the ore, and made a portal. Transported a load down, loaded ship, destroyed the wagon, and portaled back to top. Rinse repeat. I keep nails and portal materials on the boat for if I find a ton of goodies. Once you are done with the wagon take your weapon to it and recover the nails. Same with portals, always keep a open portal at base and portal materials on your ship. When you are done with the portal you can destroy it and place it again later at a new location.
there is one thing you are forgetting about trolls they all ways have trash mobs that are with them or close to them so just to dodge will not work all the time even if you take out trash mobs there will be more of them sooner or later. when you turn to fight the trash mobs you will get hit by the troll.
Actually a dude made a post on reddit that terraphorming is not causing lag, but the fire, particles and that stuff. I've put some commands on the file "gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1 gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1" and worked really well to my castle base that was freezing, and now is solid 60
On the ship thing, no need to break it down. Just leave it off shore about 50 feet or within easy swim distance. Most mobs won't bother it that far out and the hold remains available to store loot. Plus, gives you a opportunity to increase you swim skill. Unlike a real boat, you don't have to worry about it drifting or blowing away and I've never had one destroyed. The only worry might be leeches, so don't park it anywhere near a swamp. Leeches seem to attack boats a LOT less now so that might not be a worry anymore.
Hate me if I’m wrong but I found it way easier to fight water monsters on the raft than any other ship solo as I have 360 shooting ability but the other ships make me have to get far from the steering and run to points or risk hitting my own ship.
Hey dudes, Just a Tip about improving the game performance: Download a mod called Custom Graphics Settings in Nexus, read the documentation, install the requirements. What this mod does it's allow you to manualy disable effects and the each efect quallity in a config file! I play in a 2200G, playing with SSAO + TAA + Vegetation medium 768p at 21~30ish fps, so I use this mod to disable all the shadows, but leaving SSAO working, since ambient oclusion in on, the game don't get too flat and washed, looks like nothing happens... but now my FPS is high up to 40~90fps.
if you always carry 10 wood on you, you can pop down workbenches wherever you need to use the hammer and then you can much more quickly dismantle your ship for storage. this also works for fighting enemies in towers you can't climb, just slap down a workbench and dismantle the tower lol
Lifehack for fast carrying all metals from 1 point to other. 1. Build a new teleport near your house 2. Travel to a point where you are farming metal 3. Build mini base with a portal to your house 4. Create second world and build a small house with chest 5. Go back to your main world and farm metal, as you get full stack go to your mini base and put into chest. 6. When you finish farming, put all metal into your inventory. And log out. 7. Go to your 2nd world and put all metal into chest. 8. Log in to your main world, and teleport to home, go to nearest chest to be ready to put all metal. Log out 9. Log in to your 2nd world and take all metal 10. Log out 11. Log in to main world And wuola, you have all metal in your main base.
... ok let me stop you right there. (1 min). If this is about saving time transporting, how about not transporting at all. When you head into Dark Forest or Swamp etc to get mental, take just a portal and enough metal to make forge + upgrades. (for iron, that's 16 copper ingots, 2 bronze). Make a base at the swamp, with forge, portal back to get any supplies you need such as kiln/smelter/other resources. Make all your iron stuff on site. sail back once with anything left over, don't waste time on making lots of trips. CTRL + LeftClick a stack to move it between inventories, faster than click and drag. Entering new biomes or general exploring: - Placing a portal after sailing to new continent is important, sailing back after dieing is a huge pain! - Use indestructible dungeons to build temporary shelters with bed. Terrain can count as 'cover' for workstations, fires, beds. A troll cave is excellent. place down workstation, bed, fire and you have an instant base. - Before moving into a new black forest dungeon, throw down a workstation and bed in the entrance to respawn on if/when you die. - Prioritising Bronze nails doesn't help you early game, dont' waste your time. Prioritise Bronze axe for finewood, cultivator to plant veges for awesome food, bronze buckler for awesome parry, bronze pick upgraded for faster gathering of metals (which is a massive process, so anything to speed it up helps). A Cart takes just 1/2 a bronze bar, so it's cheap, why not. But you don't need aKarve at all until you head off to find swamps, don't waste time with it till you need it. - Skip excessive use of cart/boat, just build your smelter on site where you mine.
You can place firepits inside sunken crypts; this lets you remove the wet debuff from the swamps and even get 10 minutes of rested. Simply place a chest and a workshop under a roof outside the crypt and you can mine all the iron without long repair trips.
#1- I feel can be different if you have portals or a large build design. I tend to build bases somewhat near the ocean, yet, not always. I connect buildings as I go until I build a valid stronghold for a port. Order of building a homestead and a port, depends upon the location. You can also copy portals name via game in the textbox prior (Ctrl + C). I always recommend if you create a single portal, instantly go and create it's pathway, then return. Use signs to label their location, and continue onward. If not, keep a list of open portals and check off the ones you have cycled. It gets pretty hairy if your portals don't link up properly as you explore.
cool tips! My main technique when dealing with trolls (having just reached bronze age) is just to stay out of reach hitting them with fire arrows, and sprinting away only when they are close and about to attack (to keep the stamina bar relatively high). Usually works pretty well (except sometimes when you get stuck in the damn terrain by a small bush or a tiny rock), but your technique will certainly be useful if I run out of arrows or if I find a Troll cave (last time I kept leaving to catch a break and going back in the cave to fire a few more arrows, but it's time consuming). Another beginner tip I never saw mentioned anywhere: make sure you've explored the whole area before building your new base. This happened to me after I defeated the first boss, and the crow told me to begin exploring the Black Forest biome. I actually though these were "zones" similar to an MMORPG game, so when I found the Black Forest, I found a nice spot near the ocean to build my house, believing this was a huge area just like the starting Meadows. Unfortunately, I soon found out it was only a small stretch of Black Forest, and it was in the far bottom of the island. So, to explore the rest of the island, I have to walk a lot, usually getting to a spot I'd like to explore by sunset (and having to fight all the annoying Greydwarves). Thankfully, since I built it near the ocean, now that I have the boat I can explore nearby . I think my next step will be to build a dock for my boat.
A copper deposits is a big, round blob with stone on the inside (I dug around one once to determine its shape because when digging it up from the top deposits made no sense. So there is easily twice as much copper underground in a "rind" around a totally not juicy centre stone filling. The terraforming is something people simply don't know about and won't recognize as the problem when their fps go south. It seems that the original terrain is always retained by the game, and every terrain mesh changed -- every time it is changed -- is stored as an additional GameObject instance modifying what there was before. Which will add up super quickly because when terraforming surrounding meshes adjust as well and don't always do it in ways that allow easy consolidation of old and new changes. Valheim devs really need to come with an optimizing strategy for this because on a multiplayer server a minor settlement for 5 people who all wield their hoes to reshape the landscape will slow things down to 5 fps in no time. In the meantime I have started to build with the terrain intact as much as possible. Talk about mistakes to stop making...
#9... DESTROY YOUR SHIP.... yep. YEP I tried making a dock, sinking poles in the water behind the long ship so it can't drift off, even making the wood spike fences to keep the greyjoys away. This is just a lot of extra work. the wood keeps degrading just from tide damage, the ship gets damaged from storms and so you have to maintain it. Along with those walls and the dock. Nah, just turn it into scrap and make ship anywhere- so much better.
A tip I've not seen in any videos is keeping a spare set of armour and weapons at your respawn base. There's no need to do the corpse run in your skivvies if you plan ahead.
You don’t have to destroy your boat, I leave my boat alone all the time, I even dig into the land and make a make shift port for it, not once have I come back to a destroyed ship
Mistake nr 11: Dont underestimate rested buff, its really helpful, as in increase both your stamina and health reg, so, before you venture out on an adventure, make sure you get the best rested buff you can get. Not sure what the max is atm, but, more or less each furniture have a "1 stack" of confer (tho, building multi of the same does not stack!). I think max atm is around 16 to 17 (and thats around 23 to 24 min of more stamina / health reg!). Just know that been wet do reduce your stamina and health reg and the night (you are cold) reduce it even further! If you do run out of rested buff and you are far away from base, just build a camp fire, relax for a bit and i am sure you can get a small 7-8 min rested buff on you.
To comment on the first one there is an easier was than boating back. Create a portal at your base and the place one after landing your boat. Then create another world and place a chest so you can swap worlds and use the portals to transport metal. This allows you to build your base in any part of any island. The video is still really cool though.
7:46 Added note about ships, just put the raw ship material in a chest in your main base, then once you need to set sail to new place, get the materials out, build ship (but dont forget to make a portal first!), then once you land on a new place, build portal, destroy ship, have ship material at new base till you need to sail all the new found ore back to your base. If you then need to move more ore from that other isle, simple destroy your ship once again, take materials, move to portals, rebuild ship there, no need to sail back there! I bet the same is true with a cart, if they are destroyed, you can simple rebuild them: Bonus info for carts: Dismount cart fast by dodge roll! Importen note about ships: When destroying them, just remember that most of the material will sink, so, destroy them as close to or on land, or you will have a bad day, in other news, you can just build a bridge to the water, then drop unwanted tropies (heads) into the sea, that way, you can kinda destroy them, next time you log in, i am sure they are gone.
In fact if you are a solo player you only need two portals at your main base, one for going to other camps (which should not move) and the other for exploration purpose. When the exploration lead to somewhere you want to establish something the portal you build will become a camp portal that shouldn't move anymore (like the others) and when you go home you can remove the tag from the exploration portal. You can also rename by yourself two linked portal's tag with this configuration you will just need to build a temporary fourth portal on the targeted area (leaving your main base with only two portal as always).
If you destroy your ship and then run out of inventory space, make sure you don't drop the materials you need to rebuild the ship! Build a cart or put the materials in a chest and mark it so you can retrieve them or something.
These tips are good to follow. one thing that I do with the copper deposit is i dig as far down as possible then frame the deposit and then just mine it all, resulting in leaving huge square chunks of where deposits were. Might be long to do it but the grind is real.
I'd like to expand on the building next to ocean thing. You can have the best of both worlds, if you build next to a lake that is connected to the ocean via large rivers.
Actually you can leave the ship unattended. Enemies won't attack it if you are not near it(enemies does not spawn a certain distance away). Also if the enemys do happen to destroy it, the materials will still drop. Regarding the portals I have started to have a travel portal, the travel portal is just called travel (resa) and as soon as I get off my ship I build the portal. It really sucks to die on an island far away fro. The base, especially early game when you probably don't have to many materials lying around to make a second ship to go get your first.
4:16 Personally I like to keep the emergency portal unnammed so I can instantly plop down a portal if I have to dodge -- let's say -- a deathsquito and don't even have the time to input a name without risking my viking dying at the border of a map. Portals without any input is still considered a linkable portal tag. Even any time you make a new portal it connects, just rename it to what it needs to be to reserve the unnamed portal slot.
Newbie question but what’s wrong with leaving your ship at the coast? I usually just build a few poles to keep it from getting carried away by the wind but I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to let them exist after using lol
I only make my very first base by the Ocean, and that first base I don't put much time or resources into. My second base will always be in the Black Forest on top of a hill right next to a swamp, and If possible next to mountains. This is the base I spent my resources on. The more Biomes you can border next to the better. Instead of building base after base and putting all those hours into so many upgrades, it is far better to spend those resources where they will last the longest.
I still don't get the unattended boat thing. I assume mobs will come destroy it while you're away? Can I just drop the materials to remake the ship in a chest on the shore so I don't have to use up my inventory space? What if I have ores in storage? I normally park ships a bit off the coast and swim to/from them
1:10 hey, doesnt loading cart on your ship deck for ore transporting also a mistake 4:10 portal also work even you dont give it any name 8:10 just put campfire nearby the ship, those damn dwarfs hate it
For real the moment I made nails first time and saw that cart I couldn't believe how good it was. I used to carry metal with only my carry limit. It still annoying to go up really small hills with the cart. A tip? Do not fill it fully with metal.. It gets so heavy it literally flipped my ship and fell in the middle of the ocean. ... Oh.. Yeah I put carts inside my ships for extra storage..
So this is a good tip for anyone playing Co-Op. If you don't want to make multiple trips carting ore then here's what you do. Take someone with you when mining the ore. Then when you load it up have that person stand in the boat. Now you just keep loading the boats inventory with ore as the 2nd (or 3rd person) starts filling up their inventory. I was able to bring back 10 stacks of copper this way in one go. After that you just cart it to your base. If you don't have friends or someone to play with this won't really work but it's been amazing for me and my friend playing.
Don't need to worry about building your base next to the ocean if you just install the mod that gets rid of the stupid portal limitation for metals. Always have materials to build a new portal to get home quickly and a dedicated portal name just for that. Digging all that far down when mining copper is pointless, there's copper practically everywhere in the black forest anyways.
I recently started playing and I didn't even build the raft at first, and instead jumped straight to the Karve once I had the materials for it. Though I might just have been so lucky with my seed's map generation that I had lots of copper deposits on my starting island.
best advice on this chanel! is Troll afraid of fire? I try to make traps in a trench around my house and wish to find out how to navigate him there... will he attack or avoid fire (or other obstacles) I am also considering the idea to hide into small hole (just digging under my legs) in front of Troll cave and wait for him... is it nonsense?
So about the "don't leave your ship unattended" bit I destroyed my ship using my axe to regain my materials but I didn't get nearly all the materials back It was in very shallow water and the ship was at full health when I started chopping. was it patched since this video?
The reason I'm afraid of trolls isn't that they're dangerous, because, well, they're not. The reason I'm scared is because every time I try to fight one, a horde of greydwarves shows up. And I wouldn't bother with destroying your ships. If you simply build a crafting bench within range, the materials won't despawn if monsters destroy it, and you won't have to bother rebuilding it if you're lucky enough that they don't destroy it. For me the food thing is mostly because good food is expensive.
I would also add not running from serpents, even without the harpon you can easly take it out with a bow (even finewood bow works) and it's meat is the best food you can get before the plains, especially the stew, the scales sink when you kill It in the sea but they only make a shield that can't even parry, no big deal there
I DEFINITELY thought that the copper Deposits were just the big boulders above ground. THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT. I've got so much untapped resources near my base that I need to go mine.
I have a problem, in my completely encased base, i have a hog den. Somehow, Greydwarves spawn in it and kill my stock. How can i prevent this? Terraform the area?
Hey! I loved your videos, I watched number 2 and 3 too, thank you very much. I would like to know which seed you are using in this video please. Thanks!
First time I built and tried the raft, I decided that it's not possible to use it as transport. It's mostly good as a platform for building in the water imo.
If you trap trolls with walls of ground, you got stone generators, but you need to put in good thought on how to put in the 'fencing' up top to allow stone to drop there. The trolls cannot directly attack you so they resort to throwing stones, but where do they collect it from? Do they poop rocks!?

Part 2 is out guys! -> EVEN MORE mistakes that you need to stop making: th-cam.com/video/wLTLh8paG1E/w-d-xo.html
That one is even more loaded, check it out!
I'd add keeping a Rested Buff up as much as possible. You can even drop a fire in the middle of nowhere (if it's raining build a little shelter) and sit down to gain a 1 comfort and an 8 minute rested buff. The rested buff is honestly one of the best buffs in the game and I'm shocked how many people don't prioritize keeping it up.
This is a really good one, thanks. I will add this in part 2 :)
It also grants a +50% XP bonus that isn't mentioned in the game - considering how insanely long skills take to level, that's definitely something to keep in mind!
When mining iron in the crypt, I'll put a fire inside just in front of the entrance. I can easily get my rested buff back. Pretty useful especially if you're about to hop to another crypt evading the mobs and blobs
I would add always remember to put your portal names on the map.
Nah, theyre not hard to remember, like bf base/ black forest base, the elder, swamps, house stuff like that it's easy to remember
@@agnesclarenbaut5607 yeah but what happens if you have multiple portals in multiple biomes. The world is humungous and it’s not going to be easy to keep track in places that look almost identical
@@justinchew766 wright down the names and specific zone, like c-bf, copper black forest, i-s, iron swamp or by numbers

Big tip for any new players, do not go into the plains, the deathsquito is a name that should be feared by all
Didn't even take two steps into the biome before I heard the buzzing...
I was mislead to believe the Plains was a nice place.
I like to explore, I was mapping out the perimeter of our island and after a lot of walking I ended up in the plains. After the deathsquito killed me I made four rescue attempts on my body that didn't succeed. A week later in real time, not game time, a friend that was much farther in the game escorted me to get my stuff back.
Yeah, several of my deathsquito and drake deaths were in the meadows or dark forest. Just got too close to the edge, sometimes without even knowing there were plains there.
The deathsquitos can be easily one shot by practically any bow. I regularly hunted them and the huge "bison" for meat without any iron gear as no swamp had offered a crypt yet.
Didn't star hunting crypts until a 2 star "goblin" two shot me.
The first hing you should do when making landfall on a new island should be to put down a new portal. And always carry a temp portal in your inventory. Boats should only be for exploring and hauling resources back home. If you have boats standing around, or sail both ways for supply runs... you are doing it wrong.
A tip for the bronze tier grind: find a troll cave on the coast somewhere, with atleast 3 chests inside and plenty of copper and tin sources nearby. The chests inside are safe. You can put down a workbench and portal just outside the cave, go out mining, drop off the ores in the cave chests, and go though the portal for repairs. When you feel done with mining, you can portal back home, get the materials for a ship, build it at the cave, load it up with ore and sail back home. If you need multiple trips, just break the boat at home, portal back and repeat the one-way-journey.
Great tip! Just found two troll caves near a coast so I'll use it immediately. Cheers!
When mining copper, put the small fence around the mine area to keep greydwafs from bothering you. They will swipe at the fence a few times and grumble. You can then dig out the area overnight. Just drop a camp fire in work zone to keep warm. Most deposit areas will be around 70-90 copper.
Fire works too
dig under the entire deposit so it's floating, hit it once, raining ore
Fire is better. Plus you can easily get a rested buff
That's awesome. Thx
Bro what????? Mine have only gotten 30. Am I not digging deep enough, or missing something?
I always leave my ship unattended. Just mark where it is on your map so you can find it again and make sure there is nothing nearby, then leave. Nothing can attack it when the area is unloaded.
ya i havent had anything kill my unattended ships until i revisit the area maybe then ill find it being attacked.
I'd add: Being overly reluctant about establishing outposts. Considering that ores and metals cannot be teleported and it's quite possible that their associated biomes are far away from where you decided to build your first big base, you typically have two options:
1: Hauling it all back home with your ship (that is, if that is even the quickest route home) which can take quite a while, especially since you don't unlock the Longboat until you have iron and you first need to bring the iron home to start processing it.
2: Building another base. Nothing fancy, just some basic defenses, a crafting station, a forge... whatever you need just to survive out there and actually process your new ores rightaway.
In many cases I'd argue that the second option is more efficient, for the following reasons:
a) You get to upgrade your gear as you go, thus making the actual farming easier. This is most relevant with silver ore since you need silver to make the wolf armour and parts of the wolf armour come with freezing resistance. If you don't process your silver locally but haul it all back to a distant base first, you are much more reliant on making sufficient amounts of mead and might even have to stop mining if you run out.
b) Time efficiency. You don't have a long mining phase, a long hauling phase and then a long smelting phase. Just fill up your inventory with ore, get it back to your local base and start smelting it whilst you go out again.
c) Safety. OK, let's assume you've just spent several hours getting a full longship storage worth of iron ore. 18 slots times 30 ore per stack is 540. Now, the ship is full and you are headed home again. All of the sudden: Bang! A bug destroys your ship and you lose all that ore because it sinks to the ground, all that work for nothing. Or a storm sinks you. Or you fall victim to a serpent attack and are all out of arrows. If you have to haul all of your ore across large distances, you have to haul large quantities in order for it to be efficient. But if you haul large quantities, you also risk losing large quantities.
I love building so I built five bases, one in the middle of my island, and four on the coast at the cardinal directions. Each ahs all the workbences upgraded to my maximum ability, so I can make and repair at any of them. I'ver yet to reach the Mountain or plains, and they will get outposts as well. I shall leave Valheim a place where any future vikings can sheltrer whereever they wander.
IF You pres Ctrl Left-Click you can quickly transfer an item from a chest to your inventory and the other way around
I see a lot of people not eating if they are just doing stuff around the base. So then they are running around with 25 health when they get raided and end up running around waiting for the health to kick in, or they just forget to eat in the excitement and then complain that stamina is a problem. One of my personal rules is "always stay full". Granted I don't eat the "good" stuff when base building, but it's enough to take care of raids if they happen.
I usually eat one lower tier thing. When we got sausages, I'd keep one food slot full on cooked meat or cooked neck tail. When we started making lox pies and blood pudding and stuff, I would keep one slot on turnip stew or sausages.
That way you aren't using up your A Game stuff just to tinker with your construction project or smelting ore but still have 65 or 70 health and fair stamina.
just always eat honey, it fuking free lol, got 8+ bee hives never run out haha
Mistake everyone makes at some point. Standing under a falling tree 🌲
I found the best way to mine copper is to mine around the node until it is pretty much clear, then just go back and forth stripping off layers until you have it all.
@Mike Goodwalk I have seen that said but the nodes I encountered all had a floor to them. I could only dig so deep into the earth and then hit a level where it just wouldn't let me go down any further, so I could never get under any of them.
I absolutely love this game, haven´t had this much fun with a game in years! Also the potencial that this game has to become even better is insane.
The mods so far are awesome. I saw someone created a viking that was able to summon skeletons to fight. Potential is indeed insane.
"not have to deal with carrying all of this"
Man you should see me trying to pull a full cart of copper and stone back
try one full of silver, or anything that take you past 5k weight.
Make roads. Flatten the ground in front of you.
@@drummyt7166 this is what i do
Mark thistle, mushroom, and berry markers to map. Fencing also helps, and clearing trees.
The portal named "Exploration" in my base has allowed me to probably skip 20 hours of needless traveling so far.
It is always in my base.
Inactive.
An d when I go out at sea.
I always have on my boat what's needed to build a portal and a workbench.
If I find something cool.
I can just plop down the portal. Name it Exploration.
Go back to base.
Get more materials.
And build a more permanent portal pair.
Listen to that tip in the video.
Save yourself a lot of time and a lot of tediousness.
Have an exploration portal always ready to be paired up.
Just have a blank portal at the base that never gets a label, then you don't have to label the portal out in the world.
I started doing this about a week ago and man has it saved time!! Def a good tip to share
That is to long word to remember. I just name mine fuck.
Where do you get all the cores from? They're too rare for me to just go placing portals every time I venture out.
@@tippyc2 Burial Chambers. Hit up every single one you find. Mark it on your map first and then left click the mark when you're done. Or there are Surtling spawners in the swamps.
I think tip #3 is something that more people need to grasp. Some people, me included, want to rush things and be able to progress at their own pace but valheim isn't really a game you can do that. I learned that very quickly and had to adapt, then I realized that spending a little extra time in the beginning of each stage to prepare for the next makes the ending that much easier and even more enjoyable.
Definitely. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail is the name of the game with Valheim.
Don't think making a road into the black forest for your cart is worth it and just wasting time? Wrong. You will just spend way longer manually carrying small amounts of ore around.
Don't think spending the time to do another trip or two for ore and fully upgrading your gear is worth it? Wrong. It will just hurt you with more deaths if you don't do it.
I'd love to hear more about the technical things that shouldn't be done on a server environment (leaving trees, terraforming all the bad stuff that make the game run worse)
yoooo, most importan tipp is missing:
USE UR MAP, mark everything u find, use every icon etc. ull thank me later :D
Good video but there is really no need to destroy your ship. Yes it can get attacked but if you park it close to shore you will be able to recover all the resources and if nothing happens then you save yourself having to carry it around in your slots. The only drawback is that you have to go back to it. Just be sure to put a mark on the map so you can definitely find it.
and 10 wood to just place down a workbench to repair it is easy to do
I use to do this but now I leave my boat far enough out we’re I can still swim to it, helps my swimming and NPCs don’t want to swim to it to destroy it
Mistake 6B: not putting a Cart ON your Karve!
Seriously, i felt like freaking Einstein when i built flooring over the boat, moved the cart on to it then deleted the flooring so it fell directly into the boat and wedges it agains tthe mast. Transporting large amounts of ore and other items was so easy at that point. Just had to make sur you didnt go into the Ocean biome...
Yeah, great addition to that point. Thanks!
Not during a storm anyway...20 foot waves are NOT your friends.
@@therealbahamut Nope even then the cart stayed on the boat. Its JUST small enough to fit both wheels into it, and if you push and nudge it enough, you can get the handles just past the mast, jump on the other side and pick up the cart and pull it tight. Was largely centered and didnt move at all. Worked so well.
Now ive got a longboat with two carts on it lol
@@cyanide7270 Hmmm....I must attempt to replicate this process.
This is a must try... as long as it doesn't damage the Karve too much during travel
Just keep your ship some ways away from shore and it'll be fine. Chances of sea serpent coming along near the shoreline are literally none, so keeping it a short swim away will keep it safe. And this way it'll be always there when you need to make a hasty getaway.
If a sea serpent comes, just turn the ship to whatever direction you get the best wind and you will get away, but that probably does not work on the raft but I would recommend to not make any sea voages until you unluckily the first actual boat.
Hey hey, hope you enjoyed this video and thanks for watching!

Your first tip isn't too valid when the game has the ability to create paths and carts not to mention that the higher the ground level the better you can build trenches that dont fill in with water to increase the depth for enemies to be unable to damage a base. Also the most effective way to transport Metal and Ore is to transfer it world to world and not waste time in the boat at all KeKW.
The fact in tip 3 you're fighting Furlings with an Axe shows how unprepared you were, I hope it was for example. Knockback and bows are the best way to fight Furlings to break up their mobs and snipe from distance LUL.
Tip number 8 is hilarious for 2 reasons, number 1 you didnt mention to full repair the boat to get all the materials back and number two it is you can leave the boat out further from the coast in deeper water where enemies are in "swimming animation" and cant actually attack. All my server users build bases in the plains hills area leaving boats unattended off the coast and none have been destroyed.
Otherwise you have pointed out a lot of mistakes ppl make and I commend your efforts sir.
@@corruptparagon Hey, yeah tip 3 was for show, I wasn't playing the game: I was recording footage for this video. Besides the whole point of that mistake is that you venture into biomes - unprepared - (like I also said in the video). Showcasing this, IMO, makes the footage at tip 3 perfectly fit the narrative. Tip 1: yes you can worldhop but at that point the whole point becomes moot. And yes, you can build paths to a base elsewhere but you'll still have to travel the same distance I was talking about. For tip 8, you don't need to full repair to get all materials. Honestly don't know what you're talking about, since I was destroying it with a weapon anyways. Your second point of leaving the ship in the distance is indeed a valid alternative. I prefer smashing the ship for the flexibility it gives (I can continue sailing from any point at the shore after I'm finished). Thanks for the commendation!
i just mark on the map where there are things like a group of thistles , berries and ore
I always have a blank portal at base and keep some portal mats on me or on my boat. You never know what you'll run into and if you need a quick way back to base to clear your inventory or repair, just plop a portal down, repair/dropoff items and continue exploring
I have a unique hate for the slowness of the cart: it's quicker to run through the swamp multiple times with a belt then getting a cart through it for iron, take a travel portal for stone/wood, it's ok for copper but that's not often far from your starting point so running again is mostly quicker & if you dare put a worth while amount of metal in there good luck getting across anything over a half stair high!
I just watch my friends struggle and use carts for larger storage systems instead!!
I normally use the cart for wood/stone collecting. I agree with it being faster to just run and use the belt for ores.
unless you ransack multiple crypts yielding over 150 ores, that's when a cart is worth the hassle.
Wrong.
Use the hoe to make a road, thank me later
Pedro Henrique Porto yes with a flat road it’s fast.

Very useful tips, I didn’t know you can mine that deep of a copper node and I’ve already defeated the 5th boss. Note on #8, if you are far away from your ship, the entity actually unloads so it’s perfectly safe. So the best thing to protect your ship is to run away from it as fast as possible (of course you still need to kill anything that’s already attacking your ship first)
Next time you find a deposit or silver vein, try just digging out all the dirt around it to completely expose it first. You'd be surprised just how big ores actually are.
I swear if I ever see berries or thistles while returning from an exploration you can bet I'm throwing out even a freaking ores to get them
Lol I guess I’m lucky but my BFs have so much thistle it’s unreal..
7:51 re, unattended ships
You don't need to destroy a boat to keep it safe. Just park it in water deep enough that the enemies are fully swimming. If they're swimming, they can't damage it, even if they try to attack it.
The exceptions are the swamp, where leaches can attack from water and the draugr and skelis do the Pirates of the Caribbean underwater walk. They can attack, at least the archers for sure, and do damage.
In the plains, the skeeters can attack from air, but if you're off the shore a bit, you'd need a really unlucky spawn or something else from a nearby biome kite it near the boat for it to get in target/attack range.
They can attack with long-range weapons though.
Not only do I build near the ocean, if it's not literally right up against the shore, I'll dig up a little port leading right up to a dock connected to my base.
Mistake 1:
Make a road to the coast, and leave Carts there. Boom. Problem solved. It's a little extra effort, but not everyone wants a beach side view.
Or simply set up a small outpost on the beach so you can deposit the ores and get on with your adventures.
Yes, reason no.1 is what bothered the crap out of me when playing in my friends world. I think thistles can multiply if you leave 1 there to respawn more and trolls helps you get fine wood early when you haven't got bronze yet.
Mark your map when you find mushrooms, berries, & thistles.
I use the ● and tag them with BB, RB, CB, MUSH, TH.
They regrow in the same spots.
Every few game days we (hubs & I) do foraging runs. We don't NEED the items but we like to keep the boxes stocked.
We hunt while out getting the fruits & fungus.
Here's my PSA. Bronze nails sink to the bottom of the water when you destroy your ship. I learned that the hard way when the water was too deep for me to retrieve the nails after I destroyed my ship.
Lol we just had the same happen
Why he said to destroy your ship close to shore. I usually run it on ground as much as possible.
I usually leave it offshore a few yards and swim from/to it.
If that happends again, get some stones, a hoe and u can get youre nails back through terraforming (raising the ground level right where the nails are .
If you stand on the boat and chop the main mast, when the boat is destroyed all the construction parts immediately go to inventory (if you do not become encumbered)
Nice video. I once came to beautiful spot, and was in love. Peaceful spot next to water, i was so high i decided this will be my base number 2. Later i found it was lake.

@@jamikuittinen5063 haha i can laugh in hindsight. At the time it was such a disaster. It was suuuuper far from my base and I didn't have any portal materials.

It is pretty funny.
@@Daniel-zg5mb Whilst I was exploring coastal area trying to find a merchant on my seed, I died twice to death squitos coming out from the land and blowing up my boat. Took me 2 more weeks to go and get back my stuff.
1 - Did that, only to discover I built it in a huge lake.
2 - Never did this because I'm a kleptomaniac.
3 - I do this on purpose I use the enemy difficulty to practice dodges/parries etc.
4 - I'm always thinking with Portals; got a portal labelled "Raid" for the one I keep on my person/long boat.
5 - See Hulk appearance in Thor: Ragnarök.
6 - I'd say skip the Raft entirely if you've got black forest on you starting island (which you will) and just move straight to the Karve.
7 - This one I didn't know until I beat the (current) last boss, though I sorta half-discovered this when I found that all the silver veins we found had a lot more in them than previously thought.
8 - To avoid having your boat destroyed... destroy your boat. :D
9 - I have the opposite problem; I bring too much food.
10 - "And here is where I keep my two-stars. IF I HAD ANY!"
Leaving ships unattended is okay as long as you park them away from the shore so things can't walk up and hit them. Swamps are an exception since leeches swim. Just make sure you clear your landing zone before you wander off and your ship will usually be fine.
Not so so, happened to me several times. Left the ship a swim away from the shore. Next thing I know, I'm buring bronze ingots again for the nails.
If you want to leave your ship as is, dig a shallow shore for your ship, then leave it there. If it breaks down, you can always get your materials back unlike off shore, it sinks down.
@@projectredeemer2981 I've left my ships unattended for days at a time. I've even lost track of a couple only to find them days later untouched. As long as there's nothing wading out into the shallows or shooting your ship with a bow, it's generally fine.
That's part of what makes getting iron so stressful sometimes; having to find a safe spot to leave your ship in a biome where leeches stalk the shallows and draugr archers fire at everything, to say nothing of wraiths. Try placing a workbench near it to push out some monster spawns and increase its safety.
@@therealbahamut I see, I might do that, but yeah, what I've been doing can really add more time to the gameplay, but I do see it necessary instead of chopping the ship down into materials.
@@projectredeemer2981 Yeah I prefer not to chop the ship up all the time because then that just loads your inventory with stuff, reducing what you can bring back. You could build some chests if you find or build a nearby structure to claim but then you're really settling in for the long haul anyway.
@@projectredeemer2981 If you leave it within range of a workbench it should be good. Only time I've ever had boats go boom is if something destroys it.
I don’t even have a computer and I found these tips helpful.
XD
I made the first mistake of making a large base away from the water, so I dug out a road to the ocean and built a dock on the edge of the coast. Now I have an easy access road with a cart I can take back and forth so I don’t make so many trips with items I collect from elsewhere. Gotta say it’s not as easy as being right next to the ocean...but that road I spent a couple hours on looks so good.
I'd add dandelions to the list of "things to always grab". Lots of the meads require them
Meh, only the healing meads. They aren't that great to begin with and need so many berries and honeys that your bottle neck won't be dandelions unless you actively try to never pick them up.
@@Forien Well... they are after all dandelions.
"Nobody likes to take more time to complete a task than necessary" Well, unless you enjoy the time it takes....
But yes these are all good tips lol
On leaving the ship unattended though, if you just let it stay out in the water maybe 10 feet away from the shore, if it's deep enough nothing swimming can attack it.
I'm just enjoying game at my own pace, 60 hours in and still in the swamps. I get side tracked with to many building projects lol.
Sometimes your first Island was really big, a base at central let you can target next boss with ease. My base was near north side and my elder was at south and need much longer trip than moving by cart.....
'' copper is not only on the surface''
holy sh** i don't wanna know how many copper i just miss. xD
hahahah, well you won't miss anymore from now on :)
ive been counting how much ore i get from a mine and i get anything from 112 upwards, although my max so far, is 122
@@NizarGG Does the same apply to silver?
@@Mantorok silver usually spawns in an inverted triangle. It has three arms that branch out from origin point
Also...not using the sheltering/rested system whenever you can. It is quite easy to get shelter and a fire going just about anywhere. Out in the wild? Not a problem. Just hop into a dungeon/troll cave/crypt and light a fire, wait a minute and then get your 10min buff. Or just dig a diagonal hole into the ground until you get some earth over your head, or even a simple tree/rock overhang. It makes a really big difference in your regen.
Not using powers often enough. I have Eikthyr normally but everytime I find myself in a situation where popping it would be convinient, I simply don´t because I might really need it pretty soon. Then I end up not using in for 3 hours.
Abuse it! You can use is basically once every other day. I've been there... Holding on to things like a precious ring.... Just use it baby!
The best tip anyone can receive for this game is to learn how to use a shield. Learning how to parry attacks with a shield is a MUST! Timing your shield usage to parry an attack will stagger your opponent and you'll be able to get some strong hits in.
A video about mistakes that we should stop doing and then only a minute into it, we see portals left unfenced outside his base
The portal isn't going to escape, why does it need a fence?
@Mike Goodwalk Monsters will attack/can damage portals. Just had our destroyed twice by last boss. At least putting a fence around stops them from being destroyed by troll event. Not so sure about goblin event...
@Mike Goodwalk oh I think I wrote the reply back when mobs will mercilessly destroy portals in game I'm sorry for any confusion
I can not stress the use of the wagon! Keep your wagon under 1300 and you can sprint over any bump (as required) or up stairs. 90 Silver Ore is 1260, plus what you can carry on your person without penalty. Use the wagon to deliver cargo to your ship to return to your base. A long ship can carry 18 slots so that's up to 540 Ore!. Today a buddy of mine and I found 7 silver spots almost side by side it was just shy of 600 silver ore. Full long ship and we were loaded. I dread to think of how long it would have taken to transport down the mountain and to the ship without a cart.
As it was we consolidated the ore, and made a portal. Transported a load down, loaded ship, destroyed the wagon, and portaled back to top. Rinse repeat.
I keep nails and portal materials on the boat for if I find a ton of goodies. Once you are done with the wagon take your weapon to it and recover the nails. Same with portals, always keep a open portal at base and portal materials on your ship. When you are done with the portal you can destroy it and place it again later at a new location.
2:13 exactly that "aaaah, I pick it up next time" , with the same exact voice too, I loled up😂
Got a like there mate
there is one thing you are forgetting about trolls they all ways have trash mobs that are with them or close to them so just to dodge will not work all the time even if you take out trash mobs there will be more of them sooner or later. when you turn to fight the trash mobs you will get hit by the troll.
Actually a dude made a post on reddit that terraphorming is not causing lag, but the fire, particles and that stuff. I've put some commands on the file "gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1" and worked really well to my castle base that was freezing, and now is solid 60
On the ship thing, no need to break it down. Just leave it off shore about 50 feet or within easy swim distance. Most mobs won't bother it that far out and the hold remains available to store loot. Plus, gives you a opportunity to increase you swim skill. Unlike a real boat, you don't have to worry about it drifting or blowing away and I've never had one destroyed.
The only worry might be leeches, so don't park it anywhere near a swamp. Leeches seem to attack boats a LOT less now so that might not be a worry anymore.
Not even a player yet, but these are great tips! Thanks for the advice and I hope that I'll make totally different mistakes while I play ;)
Hate me if I’m wrong but I found it way easier to fight water monsters on the raft than any other ship solo as I have 360 shooting ability but the other ships make me have to get far from the steering and run to points or risk hitting my own ship.
Hey dudes, Just a Tip about improving the game performance:
Download a mod called Custom Graphics Settings in Nexus, read the documentation, install the requirements.
What this mod does it's allow you to manualy disable effects and the each efect quallity in a config file!
I play in a 2200G, playing with SSAO + TAA + Vegetation medium 768p at 21~30ish fps, so I use this mod to disable all the shadows, but leaving SSAO working, since ambient oclusion in on, the game don't get too flat and washed, looks like nothing happens... but now my FPS is high up to 40~90fps.
if you always carry 10 wood on you, you can pop down workbenches wherever you need to use the hammer and then you can much more quickly dismantle your ship for storage. this also works for fighting enemies in towers you can't climb, just slap down a workbench and dismantle the tower lol
Lifehack for fast carrying all metals from 1 point to other.
1. Build a new teleport near your house
2. Travel to a point where you are farming metal
3. Build mini base with a portal to your house
4. Create second world and build a small house with chest
5. Go back to your main world and farm metal, as you get full stack go to your mini base and put into chest.
6. When you finish farming, put all metal into your inventory. And log out.
7. Go to your 2nd world and put all metal into chest.
8. Log in to your main world, and teleport to home, go to nearest chest to be ready to put all metal. Log out
9. Log in to your 2nd world and take all metal
10. Log out
11. Log in to main world
And wuola, you have all metal in your main base.
If you're doing that, you might as well just use commands to cheat all the resources or outright finished armor/tools via console ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
... ok let me stop you right there. (1 min). If this is about saving time transporting, how about not transporting at all. When you head into Dark Forest or Swamp etc to get mental, take just a portal and enough metal to make forge + upgrades. (for iron, that's 16 copper ingots, 2 bronze). Make a base at the swamp, with forge, portal back to get any supplies you need such as kiln/smelter/other resources. Make all your iron stuff on site. sail back once with anything left over, don't waste time on making lots of trips.
CTRL + LeftClick a stack to move it between inventories, faster than click and drag.
Entering new biomes or general exploring:
- Placing a portal after sailing to new continent is important, sailing back after dieing is a huge pain!
- Use indestructible dungeons to build temporary shelters with bed. Terrain can count as 'cover' for workstations, fires, beds. A troll cave is excellent. place down workstation, bed, fire and you have an instant base.
- Before moving into a new black forest dungeon, throw down a workstation and bed in the entrance to respawn on if/when you die.
- Prioritising Bronze nails doesn't help you early game, dont' waste your time. Prioritise Bronze axe for finewood, cultivator to plant veges for awesome food, bronze buckler for awesome parry, bronze pick upgraded for faster gathering of metals (which is a massive process, so anything to speed it up helps). A Cart takes just 1/2 a bronze bar, so it's cheap, why not. But you don't need aKarve at all until you head off to find swamps, don't waste time with it till you need it.
- Skip excessive use of cart/boat, just build your smelter on site where you mine.
You can place firepits inside sunken crypts; this lets you remove the wet debuff from the swamps and even get 10 minutes of rested. Simply place a chest and a workshop under a roof outside the crypt and you can mine all the iron without long repair trips.
@4:34 WHAT is that soundbite of the troll the goofy sound? Cracks me up everytime 😂😂
banjo guh huh
#1- I feel can be different if you have portals or a large build design. I tend to build bases somewhat near the ocean, yet, not always. I connect buildings as I go until I build a valid stronghold for a port. Order of building a homestead and a port, depends upon the location. You can also copy portals name via game in the textbox prior (Ctrl + C). I always recommend if you create a single portal, instantly go and create it's pathway, then return. Use signs to label their location, and continue onward. If not, keep a list of open portals and check off the ones you have cycled. It gets pretty hairy if your portals don't link up properly as you explore.
cool tips! My main technique when dealing with trolls (having just reached bronze age) is just to stay out of reach hitting them with fire arrows, and sprinting away only when they are close and about to attack (to keep the stamina bar relatively high). Usually works pretty well (except sometimes when you get stuck in the damn terrain by a small bush or a tiny rock), but your technique will certainly be useful if I run out of arrows or if I find a Troll cave (last time I kept leaving to catch a break and going back in the cave to fire a few more arrows, but it's time consuming).
Another beginner tip I never saw mentioned anywhere: make sure you've explored the whole area before building your new base. This happened to me after I defeated the first boss, and the crow told me to begin exploring the Black Forest biome. I actually though these were "zones" similar to an MMORPG game, so when I found the Black Forest, I found a nice spot near the ocean to build my house, believing this was a huge area just like the starting Meadows. Unfortunately, I soon found out it was only a small stretch of Black Forest, and it was in the far bottom of the island. So, to explore the rest of the island, I have to walk a lot, usually getting to a spot I'd like to explore by sunset (and having to fight all the annoying Greydwarves).
Thankfully, since I built it near the ocean, now that I have the boat I can explore nearby . I think my next step will be to build a dock for my boat.
A copper deposits is a big, round blob with stone on the inside (I dug around one once to determine its shape because when digging it up from the top deposits made no sense. So there is easily twice as much copper underground in a "rind" around a totally not juicy centre stone filling.
The terraforming is something people simply don't know about and won't recognize as the problem when their fps go south. It seems that the original terrain is always retained by the game, and every terrain mesh changed -- every time it is changed -- is stored as an additional GameObject instance modifying what there was before. Which will add up super quickly because when terraforming surrounding meshes adjust as well and don't always do it in ways that allow easy consolidation of old and new changes. Valheim devs really need to come with an optimizing strategy for this because on a multiplayer server a minor settlement for 5 people who all wield their hoes to reshape the landscape will slow things down to 5 fps in no time. In the meantime I have started to build with the terrain intact as much as possible. Talk about mistakes to stop making...
#9... DESTROY YOUR SHIP.... yep. YEP I tried making a dock, sinking poles in the water behind the long ship so it can't drift off, even making the wood spike fences to keep the greyjoys away. This is just a lot of extra work. the wood keeps degrading just from tide damage, the ship gets damaged from storms and so you have to maintain it. Along with those walls and the dock. Nah, just turn it into scrap and make ship anywhere- so much better.
but i like my dock.
@@blakenelson4158 lol
A tip I've not seen in any videos is keeping a spare set of armour and weapons at your respawn base. There's no need to do the corpse run in your skivvies if you plan ahead.
You don’t have to destroy your boat, I leave my boat alone all the time, I even dig into the land and make a make shift port for it, not once have I come back to a destroyed ship
Mistake nr 11: Dont underestimate rested buff, its really helpful, as in increase both your stamina and health reg, so, before you venture out on an adventure, make sure you get the best rested buff you can get.
Not sure what the max is atm, but, more or less each furniture have a "1 stack" of confer (tho, building multi of the same does not stack!).
I think max atm is around 16 to 17 (and thats around 23 to 24 min of more stamina / health reg!).
Just know that been wet do reduce your stamina and health reg and the night (you are cold) reduce it even further!
If you do run out of rested buff and you are far away from base, just build a camp fire, relax for a bit and i am sure you can get a small 7-8 min rested buff on you.
To comment on the first one there is an easier was than boating back. Create a portal at your base and the place one after landing your boat. Then create another world and place a chest so you can swap worlds and use the portals to transport metal. This allows you to build your base in any part of any island. The video is still really cool though.
7:46 Added note about ships, just put the raw ship material in a chest in your main base, then once you need to set sail to new place, get the materials out, build ship (but dont forget to make a portal first!), then once you land on a new place, build portal, destroy ship, have ship material at new base till you need to sail all the new found ore back to your base.
If you then need to move more ore from that other isle, simple destroy your ship once again, take materials, move to portals, rebuild ship there, no need to sail back there!
I bet the same is true with a cart, if they are destroyed, you can simple rebuild them:
Bonus info for carts: Dismount cart fast by dodge roll!
Importen note about ships: When destroying them, just remember that most of the material will sink, so, destroy them as close to or on land, or you will have a bad day, in other news, you can just build a bridge to the water, then drop unwanted tropies (heads) into the sea, that way, you can kinda destroy them, next time you log in, i am sure they are gone.
Awesome little tips man i had no clue about the ore running so deep!
In fact if you are a solo player you only need two portals at your main base, one for going to other camps (which should not move) and the other for exploration purpose. When the exploration lead to somewhere you want to establish something the portal you build will become a camp portal that shouldn't move anymore (like the others) and when you go home you can remove the tag from the exploration portal. You can also rename by yourself two linked portal's tag with this configuration you will just need to build a temporary fourth portal on the targeted area (leaving your main base with only two portal as always).
If you destroy your ship and then run out of inventory space, make sure you don't drop the materials you need to rebuild the ship! Build a cart or put the materials in a chest and mark it so you can retrieve them or something.
These tips are good to follow. one thing that I do with the copper deposit is i dig as far down as possible then frame the deposit and then just mine it all, resulting in leaving huge square chunks of where deposits were. Might be long to do it but the grind is real.
I'd like to expand on the building next to ocean thing. You can have the best of both worlds, if you build next to a lake that is connected to the ocean via large rivers.
thistles and berries, on the sever i use i trade these items for stuff im to lazy to get myself like the iron sledge and wolf armor.
Actually you can leave the ship unattended. Enemies won't attack it if you are not near it(enemies does not spawn a certain distance away). Also if the enemys do happen to destroy it, the materials will still drop.
Regarding the portals I have started to have a travel portal, the travel portal is just called travel (resa) and as soon as I get off my ship I build the portal. It really sucks to die on an island far away fro. The base, especially early game when you probably don't have to many materials lying around to make a second ship to go get your first.
4:16 Personally I like to keep the emergency portal unnammed so I can instantly plop down a portal if I have to dodge -- let's say -- a deathsquito and don't even have the time to input a name without risking my viking dying at the border of a map. Portals without any input is still considered a linkable portal tag.
Even any time you make a new portal it connects, just rename it to what it needs to be to reserve the unnamed portal slot.
Newbie question but what’s wrong with leaving your ship at the coast? I usually just build a few poles to keep it from getting carried away by the wind but I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to let them exist after using lol
I only make my very first base by the Ocean, and that first base I don't put much time or resources into. My second base will always be in the Black Forest on top of a hill right next to a swamp, and If possible next to mountains. This is the base I spent my resources on. The more Biomes you can border next to the better. Instead of building base after base and putting all those hours into so many upgrades, it is far better to spend those resources where they will last the longest.
I still don't get the unattended boat thing. I assume mobs will come destroy it while you're away? Can I just drop the materials to remake the ship in a chest on the shore so I don't have to use up my inventory space? What if I have ores in storage? I normally park ships a bit off the coast and swim to/from them
1:10 hey, doesnt loading cart on your ship deck for ore transporting also a mistake
4:10 portal also work even you dont give it any name
8:10 just put campfire nearby the ship, those damn dwarfs hate it
For real the moment I made nails first time and saw that cart I couldn't believe how good it was. I used to carry metal with only my carry limit.
It still annoying to go up really small hills with the cart. A tip? Do not fill it fully with metal.. It gets so heavy it literally flipped my ship and fell in the middle of the ocean.
... Oh.. Yeah I put carts inside my ships for extra storage..
So this is a good tip for anyone playing Co-Op. If you don't want to make multiple trips carting ore then here's what you do. Take someone with you when mining the ore. Then when you load it up have that person stand in the boat. Now you just keep loading the boats inventory with ore as the 2nd (or 3rd person) starts filling up their inventory. I was able to bring back 10 stacks of copper this way in one go. After that you just cart it to your base. If you don't have friends or someone to play with this won't really work but it's been amazing for me and my friend playing.
Don't need to worry about building your base next to the ocean if you just install the mod that gets rid of the stupid portal limitation for metals. Always have materials to build a new portal to get home quickly and a dedicated portal name just for that. Digging all that far down when mining copper is pointless, there's copper practically everywhere in the black forest anyways.
I recently started playing and I didn't even build the raft at first, and instead jumped straight to the Karve once I had the materials for it. Though I might just have been so lucky with my seed's map generation that I had lots of copper deposits on my starting island.
I just started playin Valheim with my two brothers. So much fun. Discovering new areas random dungeons and tje first boss fight was cool.
best advice on this chanel!
is Troll afraid of fire? I try to make traps in a trench around my house and wish to find out how to navigate him there... will he attack or avoid fire (or other obstacles)
I am also considering the idea to hide into small hole (just digging under my legs) in front of Troll cave and wait for him... is it nonsense?
So about the "don't leave your ship unattended" bit
I destroyed my ship using my axe to regain my materials but I didn't get nearly all the materials back
It was in very shallow water and the ship was at full health when I started chopping.
was it patched since this video?
The reason I'm afraid of trolls isn't that they're dangerous, because, well, they're not. The reason I'm scared is because every time I try to fight one, a horde of greydwarves shows up.
And I wouldn't bother with destroying your ships. If you simply build a crafting bench within range, the materials won't despawn if monsters destroy it, and you won't have to bother rebuilding it if you're lucky enough that they don't destroy it.
For me the food thing is mostly because good food is expensive.
I would also add not running from serpents, even without the harpon you can easly take it out with a bow (even finewood bow works) and it's meat is the best food you can get before the plains, especially the stew, the scales sink when you kill It in the sea but they only make a shield that can't even parry, no big deal there
I DEFINITELY thought that the copper Deposits were just the big boulders above ground. THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT. I've got so much untapped resources near my base that I need to go mine.
I have a problem, in my completely encased base, i have a hog den. Somehow, Greydwarves spawn in it and kill my stock. How can i prevent this? Terraform the area?
This is actually good. I also did many mistakes on this video before on my first playthrough.
Hey! I loved your videos, I watched number 2 and 3 too, thank you very much. I would like to know which seed you are using in this video please. Thanks!
First time I built and tried the raft, I decided that it's not possible to use it as transport. It's mostly good as a platform for building in the water imo.
I make a portal just for berries.
Thank you kindly for the network lag advice about logs and terraforming!
have never seen a troll handled like that! nice moves.
My buddies and I only sail to explore and to get barnacle and serpent stuff. We use other maps for metal ore and whatnot to save on time.
2:35 “eh I won’t need that shit!” New player and I’ve said this 🤣 Thanks for your video!
If you trap trolls with walls of ground, you got stone generators, but you need to put in good thought on how to put in the 'fencing' up top to allow stone to drop there. The trolls cannot directly attack you so they resort to throwing stones, but where do they collect it from? Do they poop rocks!?
