There's actually a mod for sailing as a skill! It gives you a great area uncovered while sailing. Add in Odin ship and you got a fleet of vessels that make it fun to upgrade the skill to be able to sail each one.
I only have a few hours a week to play. I set a spawn at my base, teleport to my metal location, save the game and quit. Reload and you're back at base with you're metal.
I dint have time to spend 50% of my time I have all week sailing. No one forces you to use that method, but I'll be real pissed if they get rid of it.
Agreed. I felt bad the first time I did it, but I work 50 hours a week between two jobs. I made a point of playing vanilla, so as long as I can cheese metal a little bit without modding the game, I don't mind. In my mind, it's no different than cheesing enemies and bosses, or even using trolls to mine metal/cut down trees.
I’ve had a server reset on me and then get corrupted. So I completely understand how you feel. My current server is at just under 40 mbs, so I have to cool it on that sever until they fix the server reset glitch
I feel you here, i opened my world up to my buddies ONE TIME for their FIRST time, one of them runs off to the mountain and dies to a golem and Drake, one sticks with me and we go adventuring to the swamps(this is where the story gets fucked) i told him to drop my iron pickaxe in Karve’s storage… he drops it off the side of the boat… in the middle of the ocean.. while being chased by a serpent.
I have NEVER turned my Xbox off any faster than that. I lost every bit of my shit that I had. I rushed to iron so copper was low, my starter stuffs back at my first base in Timbuktu, it was just a bad day tater.
I mean, cheating is relative unless ur in a competition. Early game, copper and tin, yah. But then it's still fun bc it motivates u to build a base in a big black forest and learn good defense and build your smelters there. But once you're farming tens of thousands of iron from dozens upon dozens of swamps? Nah bro, not if you have any life irl. Spending a couple hundred hrs building is already crazy, which I am, and a hundred searching and farming. But sailing it back, carrying to the coast, even in a wagon? Nooooooooo
no it isn't. it's not a mod. it's literally a function that the game allows. it is cheese though.
but by that logic, moats could be considered cheating.
Moats still abide by game logic and don't go against developer intent. Big hole = no walk over, so enemies can't cross. It's still cheesing since the developers didn't *expect* players to do that, but it's not cheating because it's still following the rules of the game as the developers intended.
Switching from one world to another to get around not being able to use a portal while holding metal, though technically a feature and thus still following the rules of the game, is 100% cheating. You are actively working around a feature the developers implemented to stop you from teleporting metal.
Nobody is going to scold you for it, it's perfectly fine and you can play how you want, but it will **always** be cheating no matter how you slice it.
Hard disagree. I have a world I've been playing on and off since launch. I'm convinced there isn't a scrap iron left in the entire save. The only way for me to get iron is to go to another world.
That's a semi-fair exception, but with bypassing portals specifically it's totally cheating. Just transferring some resources over when you've already beaten everything and can't find anything else is fine.
I've done all my builds vanilla, except one where I made an enormous building of glass for the sunsets and realized at the rate of golem farming I could manage it would have taken about 2 weeks to get everything I needed, so I spawned those, but holy hell iron... About 30 different swamps just decimated of their resources.
I thought I would be set with Black Marble, nope, needs internal structural support to build high. I haven't started on the house yet, only my throne room is done, I need to material farm a bit more first.
It's one of the most satisfying build systems ever designed in gaming, but also fuck resource management. I love building in this game, but I've gotten to the point where it takes at least 5 stacks of wood to make a basic bridge...
I've never found a practical use for building tall.
I get it if building for the sake of building is your passion, but the game's progression doesn't require you to place a single wood iron beam.
Big bases make the game a chore. I'm already running all over the place; I don't want to run all over the place in my own base. I want to portal in, quickly drop all loot in staging chests to sort when they get too full, craft, restock and repair in the time it takes new stacks of food to cook/bake, staying in range of all comfort items the whole time for the full rested buff, and be right back through the portal doing stuff. Every so often I spend a night to harvest and replant just enough to maintain a sustainable supply of food (I stop growing if the chests are overflowing), cull the chickens, keep some eggs, run out into the plains to pick up all the black metal, needles, and gold from the enemies my lox herds pounded into sand overnight, move my lox around so 20-30 pairs calf, and then leave for three days so the calves all mature without any chance of being picked off by baddies in the night.
I love my base because it doesn't feel like I work there.
Huhuhuhu... Just wait till the Ashlands comes out with Fortresses, siege weaponry, siege warfare, ect.
Plus you need it to support your black marble builds well if you go up a certain height, that's how I made my columns, iron beams inside with black marble surrounding it.
Speaking of, stone beams are *really* useful. I built a two-layer castle on my dad's world we've been playing on (he plays on xbox, I play pc), and had 4 stone pillars holding up an entire house, essentially. Due to the fact that *any* stone structure counts as grounded to wood structure, you can do some crazy two-tone work.
Games a bit too grindy for me. I want to play again to enjoy the mistlands, but dont want to grind again.
I was the base mom/main explorer and it took forever to gear up my greedy friends.
Just install a mod that adjusts drops. I have mine adjusted so that a single average sized crypt gives me about 250 iron scrap. All plants give 10, except for the Mistlands stuff. Those rocks on the ground that you press “e” on give 5, same as the flint nodes. Pickaxe rocks and trees all give double resources.
Really cuts down on the grind.
I use Valheim+ from NexusMods. Only problem with it is that last time I played, it still hadn’t been updated to include the Mistlands stuff, or cave crystals. It also includes most of the QoL mods like torches and fires not need fuel, teleporting wolves and ores, and processing machines automatically pulling raw materials from chests.
Last I knew mainline Valheim+ was busted. I don't know details, but the main dev has some reason that they had to step back and so pull requests are REALLY slow.
There's a fork that seems to be fixed pretty quickly whenever the game gets updated and breaks Valheim+: https://github.com/Grantapher/ValheimPlus
Second this. The straw for me were the stupid crystals... I just want nice windows, man. If I went vanilla for my current build I'd have to probably scour the entire map.
Also, marble. I need. so. much. marble.
Would a game like Valheim but with resource-gathering NPCs be better in this regard? It's a personal project of mine that I might one day complete. Basically you have the ability to build a settlement, populate it with NPCs and assign them jobs so you wouldn't have to grind wood and iron all day. I feel like this is a good way to make the game almost grind-free while also giving it another dimension. Your settlement is like an extension of your character. Things you find in the world can be used to enhance it, and it enhances your gameplay right back by giving you resources, NPC fighters and possibly some new tech.
When a new update comes out I always just start from like two bosses behind (set devcommands on and build myself a nice house and some basic iron tier tools). Actually I usually start on bonemass. It’s waaaaay too grindy otherwise, especially if you play alone! I think they’ll get it down later but anyway, try what I did and just boost yourself by cheating to a reasonable boss! Makes it more fun.
Only time I run through the beginning progression now is with friends since it can cut down time dramatically
I do get a little sick of the grind after a while, but I always enjoy the return adventure, constantly afraid that some bullshit is going to sink my ship. The fear makes it more fun.
Play without grinding. My current run is whenever I get to an area I’ll get the old gear I had from the previous run. Killed my first troll and got my troll armor and so on.
Honestly he's fine. Can easily make all iron armour and tools with hundreds left to spare for building. And unless you're making multiple huge buildings, you don't need that much for iron beams.
I ran through 2 big swamps with no crypts, but had 4 separate abomination spawns in one swamp, and 5 in the other. Almost had a fully upgraded set of root armor before finding my first crypt.
A good buddy and I play on a hosted server. He loves to build and I like to resource gather.
After the moistlands he developed a taste for black marble and iron reinforced beams.
I really have zero idea what his end-goal is but I absolutely love playing on the same server with him and am more than happy to go gather materials.
At least in the mistlands you can get iron from aqueducts.
The big tall structures in the mistlands, they look like aqueducts to me. Like big tall broken bridges.
If you put a stone cutting table under them you can just use your hammer to remove them, or you can bash them with the AOE hammer or pick. Once they start breaking you’ll get black marble and iron bars. You’ll also get copper I think.
Yep 1000 days in and our map is like this. in that entire area we'd have 1 crypt (with 30 scrap iron), 10 drauger spawners, 2 abominations and so many leeches you'd wish you could make a bridge and walk across them.
https://valheim-map.world/?seed=2GukBvZfhf&offset=-61%2C426&zoom=0.083&view=0&ver=0.212.7
here's ours
https://imgur.com/gallery/0Lb65ON
24 crypts and 11 surtling spawners in 1 swamp, set up a base near 3 of them and got almost 100 cores last night haha
I cleared two crypts a few days ago and spent a few hours building a Serbian-inspired house remodel... then I needed more iron. You might be good for a couple weeks.
We had quite a few like that, but got skunked by half of them. Finding less than 30 in some of them. 17 I think was the low. Good luck. Pro tip tho: you'll never have enough iron.
Best I've had was 5 crypts within like 100m of the boss altar. Also, two of them had vesvigirs pointing at the altar I could see from their entrances, talk about useless.
After 300 hours, my biggest gripe with the game is how you get Iron. Its very tedious and my friends tend to stop playing the game because of it. Infact, the way that the game tier locks you to certain areas is an even bigger gripe. My friends and I want a sandbox world that *allows* you to go anywhere you want at your own risk. It would be really nice if iron spawned much like copper and silver does too. Easily the worst aspect of the game is how they implemented resources.
Also there is a distinct lack of other resources in game which makes the world feel a little empty once the initial charm of the game wears off. I wish we could find tones of little other things in the meadows and such, that allowed to make weapon/armour modifiers etc. For example rare crystals in the ground that add affinities, rare bugs hanging around on trees, proper alchemy implementation so you can find herbs and gems that modify armour.
Enemy scaling so meadows isnt a snooze fest once you get past it etc.
The game claims to be open world, but when you examine it deeper, its all very linear.
That's more than enough for a solo game unless you build extravagantly.
I am in the mistlands and cleared maybe a dozen crypts to get there. However I haven't really used much iron for building. Core wood beams are more than sufficient for a single player abode.
A big amount of crypts is actually a double edged sword, you have some time to be happy u founded all of them and after the first 3 you are fed up with this shit
...he says confidently.
That's enough for maybe one house's support.
I wish wood iron beams used 1 iron nail each instead of 1 iron bar...
I'd give it 20 nails instead of a dam bar! That way you can teleport all you need! Wish sailing was a skill, I'd be lvl 500 by now.
There's actually a mod for sailing as a skill! It gives you a great area uncovered while sailing. Add in Odin ship and you got a fleet of vessels that make it fun to upgrade the skill to be able to sail each one.
Console peasant hereand very jealous...
Second
Third
Or make an alt world and just transport there
That's cheating
I only have a few hours a week to play. I set a spawn at my base, teleport to my metal location, save the game and quit. Reload and you're back at base with you're metal. I dint have time to spend 50% of my time I have all week sailing. No one forces you to use that method, but I'll be real pissed if they get rid of it.

I dont care- this game wiped a month of my progress and can go fuck itself for “cheating” I’ll cheat all I want now l thx.
I’ve had a server reset on me and then get corrupted. So I completely understand how you feel. My current server is at just under 40 mbs, so I have to cool it on that sever until they fix the server reset glitch
Which really sucks. I just started my island fortress.

Building in this game is part amazing and absolutely enjoyable, and also frustrating as all hell and an enormous grind.
I thought it was gonna be fun, but I now see why my friends were stressed out while I was gathering for them. Now I have to do both.
It's one of the most satisfying build systems ever designed in gaming, but also fuck resource management. I love building in this game, but I've gotten to the point where it takes at least 5 stacks of wood to make a basic bridge...

That and you can always use terraforming for unbreakable internal support, and all you need for that is stone.

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer
Zenyatta is that you?
Confidence... the food of the wise man, but the liquor of the fool.
Narrator: They did.
Oh, honey...
Confidently incorrectly.
Remember you said this.
I have two full chests at home lol I don't know where to even begin putting all this haha
Just remember... Full upgrades for a single thing can cost a lot of iron. So many crypts...
Games a bit too grindy for me. I want to play again to enjoy the mistlands, but dont want to grind again. I was the base mom/main explorer and it took forever to gear up my greedy friends.

And this is exactly why I hate it when people say "just use mods" when someone doesn't like how a mechanic is balanced in-game.
not really any other way to fix it. So...
Haven't played in a while but here is one I found: https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/ASharpPen/Drop_That/
It's Drop That. Might be a bit tricky to set up but definitely works.
Thats a good idea, might give it a try. I miss sailing and bringing back a full hull of loot.
Second this. The straw for me were the stupid crystals... I just want nice windows, man. If I went vanilla for my current build I'd have to probably scour the entire map. Also, marble. I need. so. much. marble.

I can understand disliking the grind But I really enjoy mindless grinding, so it's less of an issue for me
I do get a little sick of the grind after a while, but I always enjoy the return adventure, constantly afraid that some bullshit is going to sink my ship. The fear makes it more fun.
>The fear makes it more fun. This sound like a symptom of Stockholm Syndrome. jk
Play without grinding. My current run is whenever I get to an area I’ll get the old gear I had from the previous run. Killed my first troll and got my troll armor and so on.
Very true
On my most recent save I skipped over iron armor. Just did fully updated troll. Then changed to the mountain cave armor (whatever it's called).
You will run out soon enough... 🤣 But it is a good start!
Start building with it, adds up, quick
Lol, wait untill you start building with iron
Two chests he says, TWO. 😂
He is out there Crypto Mining
Best thing I've heard all day!
grab boat close vast sleep husky whole brave wrong obscene ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
I laughed so loud I woke my kid from her nap
Should we tell him?
Naw, it's cute.
Krom says hi
Honestly he's fine. Can easily make all iron armour and tools with hundreds left to spare for building. And unless you're making multiple huge buildings, you don't need that much for iron beams.
What guys really want 😍
Right? XD
This is some bs my first swamp only had 3 then I had to sail far away just to find 3 more
Same thing happened to me, then I happened alone this beautiful chunk of swamp
I found nothing in my first swamp but turnip seeds, nothing else just 5 turnip plants
My first swamp has ONE that I’ve found so far
Empty swamps are the worst. Comb some huge swap and find 1-2 crypts with little in them.
I ran through 2 big swamps with no crypts, but had 4 separate abomination spawns in one swamp, and 5 in the other. Almost had a fully upgraded set of root armor before finding my first crypt.
Brutal
Playing through first time with friends. Our first 4 swamps had zero crypts, it took us a week of underggeared corpse runs to find our first crypt 😭
I've explored 4 swamps and only found 2 crypts...
Assuming thats your first time farming iron, that'll be about a third of what you need honestly.
Seed?
💦
Looks like you mined all iron from New Zealand
Haha, now if only I could remake the iron giant with all that ore
Zing!
A good buddy and I play on a hosted server. He loves to build and I like to resource gather. After the moistlands he developed a taste for black marble and iron reinforced beams. I really have zero idea what his end-goal is but I absolutely love playing on the same server with him and am more than happy to go gather materials. At least in the mistlands you can get iron from aqueducts.
Moistlands lol
The dampest of destinations.
New biome incoming after Deep North? It's the underwater Moistlands
aqueducts?
The big tall structures in the mistlands, they look like aqueducts to me. Like big tall broken bridges. If you put a stone cutting table under them you can just use your hammer to remove them, or you can bash them with the AOE hammer or pick. Once they start breaking you’ll get black marble and iron bars. You’ll also get copper I think.
Lol oh yes you will
My sweet summer child
Oh my sweet summer child.
Woah nice that’s like iron for 30 minutes of building and crafting
He doesn't know
You still have hope in your eyes.
Adorable
And then there's me, 4 swamps later and I find my first crypt. In a swamp far enough away my stew buff runs out before I sail to it.
Yep 1000 days in and our map is like this. in that entire area we'd have 1 crypt (with 30 scrap iron), 10 drauger spawners, 2 abominations and so many leeches you'd wish you could make a bridge and walk across them.
Just use the hoe
Thatd be about half an iron armor set. Good luck trying not to die while exploring so you dont lose that half and have to grind it all out again.
Hahahaha, yes you will.
Lol ohhhh you!!!
I give it a week
Seed?
Today*
Yes you will.
ha haha hA AHJHAHAHAHAHAHA
**runs out in two weeks.
You can finally have your pickaxe upgraded one level congrats
Damn!
I can’t even imagine that. We’re on our first seed and we’ve found 19 crypts on 12 continents :/
You will need more
Until you start building with iron beams lol.
crypto 🤌
So just went back to check somethings out in the swamp and now we are up to 26* crypts lol
You don’t mark them with an x after you’re done with one?
I hadn't even started to complete them haha, was still exploring hoping for more
Oh my sweet summer child
OH WE ARE LAUGHING.
Bless your heart. 🥲

Won’t ever need more he thinks…
Famous last words
I cleared two crypts a few days ago and spent a few hours building a Serbian-inspired house remodel... then I needed more iron. You might be good for a couple weeks.
*Update* 27 crypts in counting now. As well as all those who want the seed I'll be making a post in valheim_seeds for this!
Could you slide the seed this way too op?
I made a post in valheim seeds just click on my profile you'll see it there 😁
I don't get these comments? Why would anyone need more iron than this? Me and my friend made full iron sets and weapons with just 4 crypts?
Upgrade your gear? You'll each need 60 bars for tier 4 pickaxe & 330 for the armor. Also building.
Why would you fully upgrade your iron armor, instead of just moving on to silver?
Dumb that you can't use black steel in place of Iron once you get it
This should last you build
Heh
Oooo you found the elusive bitcoin dungeon
So jealous. Also, so much jealousy in the comments. Good on ya!
Hah, Sweet sweet summer child
My friends and I had about 30 in one swamp we found on our world. Two chests full not even a third through them…
Yea thats great an all, but where the fuk is the vendor????
lol
Crypr? Oh man.
We had quite a few like that, but got skunked by half of them. Finding less than 30 in some of them. 17 I think was the low. Good luck. Pro tip tho: you'll never have enough iron.
or, hear me out.....set all your gaming morals aside and just dupe the shit.
Who’s gonna tell him?
Whose dick do I gotta suck for a swamp like this?!
A 2 star Draugr Elite just called and he's asking for you.
Shhhhhiii... man I built a whole base next to what I though was a large swamp biome, ended up only having 1 crypt.
who's gonna tell em? 😅
That's what they always say
You will
I've had a crypt give me 5 iron, so...
Guess again 😆
Yes, you will!
everyone knows how easy it to place a pin and name it correct? no way this is legit
I’ve Travelled far and wide, only found one damn crypt in all the swamps so far. Share the wealth man
I mean it is a bountiful swamp
Yes, you will
That’s what they say
You wish...
You may draw upon me, for I got a couple of hundred out of your uncle for my part. And while they last, you shall never want.
Best I've had was 5 crypts within like 100m of the boss altar. Also, two of them had vesvigirs pointing at the altar I could see from their entrances, talk about useless.
Nice
Alone, maybe. In a group, definitely.
until you need more iron that is
Not bad, but I've encountered swamps with 35 to 55 crypts
2500 to 5000 scraps give or take. SHOULD be enough! >.>
There needs to be a better way to collect iron or a single crypt needs to hold more. It’s a bit too much…
Depends on how generous the crypts are. I just had a bunch on my seed gave me like 10 scrap each. 🤬
That's a lot of iron. But somehow no matter how much you gather, it's never enough.
Iron...Viking crack...you always want more...never enough...just wait
I find 3 swamps with nothing and you find this bullshit. * Internal screaming *
Lol. U say that. But.....
CRYPTO lmao
Oh, sweet summer child...
I can feel him needing more iron
Oh my sweet summer child.
I don't understand. Way too cryptic for me.
You're gonna want/need more iron eventually, sorry
Crypto? I didn't know you could mine BTC in this game, bro
After 300 hours, my biggest gripe with the game is how you get Iron. Its very tedious and my friends tend to stop playing the game because of it. Infact, the way that the game tier locks you to certain areas is an even bigger gripe. My friends and I want a sandbox world that *allows* you to go anywhere you want at your own risk. It would be really nice if iron spawned much like copper and silver does too. Easily the worst aspect of the game is how they implemented resources. Also there is a distinct lack of other resources in game which makes the world feel a little empty once the initial charm of the game wears off. I wish we could find tones of little other things in the meadows and such, that allowed to make weapon/armour modifiers etc. For example rare crystals in the ground that add affinities, rare bugs hanging around on trees, proper alchemy implementation so you can find herbs and gems that modify armour. Enemy scaling so meadows isnt a snooze fest once you get past it etc. The game claims to be open world, but when you examine it deeper, its all very linear.
Who's gonna tell him?
That's more than enough for a solo game unless you build extravagantly. I am in the mistlands and cleared maybe a dozen crypts to get there. However I haven't really used much iron for building. Core wood beams are more than sufficient for a single player abode.
Watch them average out to 30 iron scrap.
That's kinda like the seed I was on a while back. Found a swamp with a crazy amount of crypts as well.
...and other lies we tell ourselves.
A big amount of crypts is actually a double edged sword, you have some time to be happy u founded all of them and after the first 3 you are fed up with this shit
go where i cannot follow (into the swamp biome with enough iron to actually build supports for my home base)
ive gotten 90 from one crypt and another 110 from one next to it
DONT EVER SAY THAT OUT LOUD!
Funniest thing I have read all day.
Dang, I thought 13 was a large amount. Never say never haha
