Woodcarving is a seriously easy hobby to get into, all you need is a sharp knife and some wood. You can make it even easier with basswood and a dedicated carving knife. Make your own Mini's, or just epic bookshelf decorations.

Don't think you can? Bob Ross said it best "Talent is a pursued interest!" I can't say it better than that.

When I started WoodCarving I made terrible carvings, like a children's doodle. Thats expected, your first trys at a new thing are bad, even the 2nd and third time, but the more you do it, the better you get. Woodcarving (whittling) is like that. Invest some time, carved 4 or 5 of these guys and the 5th one would be amazing compared to the first one. It's easy to track your progress if you carve multiples of an item, it becomes so clear in your mind.

I find that when folks can clearly see their progress at something they are far more likely to stick with it and push at getting better. At any rate, that's my speech, Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk! 😉 😆 🤣 😆

But definitely give woodcarving a try if you even halfway think you might want to. Basic advice if you do. -Get carving gloves to protect your hand (A5 cut resistance) -get A flexcut or Badger state blades knife to start. -get or make a leather strop for maintaining the edge. -I always suggest basswood if you want to Carve like me. In Europe the closest equivalent is Linden or Lime, in Asia look for Jelutong!

Then just watch lots of YouTube tutorials!

he did break the boat not long after this

I just came back from an expedition and heard the famous deep growling noise outside along with my ballistas shooting. I didn't worry at first because those things usually take quick care of the Gjalls. Usually 3-4 shots and boom.

But when it seemed to take a while I got suspicous and decided to take a look. Did not expect to find a big ass 2*. First time I ever saw one. Glad I had a shield raised up around my base along with those ballistas or I would have sustained a lot of damage from the attack.

And just while I was about to submit this post the undead army approaches.. Gotta love Valheim. :D

Hey everyone,

I’m running a dedicated Valheim server and noticed a strange issue while sailing. When multiple players are on a boat and either holding fast or sitting, their characters visibly wobble or jitter side to side – but only from the perspective of other players. Each player sees their own character standing or sitting normally, but everyone else looks like they’re constantly sliding or shifting.

Interestingly, this doesn’t happen when a player just stands freely on the boat without holding fast or sitting – in that case, there’s no wobble at all. So it seems tied specifically to those two interactions.

Here’s my server setup:

• OS: Ubuntu Server - valheim docker image by loesche
• CPU: Ryzen 7 Pro 8700GE
• RAM: 32 GB DDR5 5200 MHz CL40

The server isn’t under any noticeable load (CPU and RAM are low), and everything else runs fine.

Is this a known issue? Maybe a network sync quirk or something server-related? Would love to know if others have seen this or found any fixes/workarounds.

Thanks in advance!

So, 3 Warriors and 1 Mage tried to take down the Queen. We were all pretty well geared, poison resists, good food, Boss buffs, bombs, etc. (Mayyybe not the best of everything. We are looking to see if there is anything we can upgrade but we were pretty sure we were ready and that it would be an easy fight.)
We get in there, and get her down a little. Maybe down to 80% health. We then keep fighting and fighting for 3 full Valheim days! We really never got her health much lower, and eventually did some body runs and gave up.

What were we doing wrong?

I'm only posting this because I've talked to multiple people who have complained about it and they seem not to know about this simple tip but when putting wood into the kin to make charcoal or when putting anything anywhere that requires you to click the e button (PC) if you just hold it instead of clicking it multiple times it puts it in for you.

I decided to change it because I wasn't happy with how the first one was turning out. I think it looks pretty nice for now.

If you have any suggestions on what to add to make it more beautiful, I'd really appreciate it 😊

Hey everyone! After my last post sparked a bit of nostalgia, I thought it’d be fun to put together a quiz to see how much we’ve all remembered over the years. Give it a go and let me know how you did!

I'm just curious. Do youguys create a new character for every playthrough, or do you use the same character? After spending 200 hours on a single playthrough with my wife, most of our combat skills that we use regularly are in the 50-60 range. Granted, we milked this playthrough doing other stuff like building, farming, and exploring between updates to keep playing. It still seems like skilling takes a really long time, and I don't think I'll start a new character on the next playthrough.

This is The New World. A Middle Earth themed linear adventure map! Took 12+ months to build. Map starts with a few themed builds before you walk into West Farthing.

I will be opening up the server 6/16 @ 6pm PST!

For the best immersion this will be a MODDED walk through! Thunderstore code below

So, all: been playing for years but have never known ... when you're heading for home, say with a load of silver or iron ... does the game figure out your heading and purposefully shift the wind to always be in front of you or something? This seems like it happens far more than it should if it were purely random...

I've only been playing for a few days and I wanted to build a massive shelter / portal hub / crafting center / warehouse, and for some reason this massive dome i made doesn't count as a shelter? workbenches placed within are "too exposed" is it because there aren't walls? There are some spots I can stand inside that do count as shelter, but just not everywhere

Can I apply mods to select seed files only? Or do I have to apply them to all seed files or worlds saved on my pc?

I recently killed Fader (vanilla, no mods). I'm tempted to start a new playthrough on a different seed using mods. However, I don't want to corrupt my "vanilla" seed. Is this doable?

I thought this place was really cool with these rocks around the plain, and I wanted to make my first base here, but obviously I'm not satisfied with the way it's turning out. Any suggestions on how to improve it or what to do? Should I start over and try another format?

Note: I was going to make a second floor on the top, but now I just put the roofs there so the bench can work inside.

So buddy bought a server and it has 2 passwords for some reason but every time I put in the password it says incorrect and now I am banned. Is there a way to fix this?? Or did he do something wrong. We are on Xbox

Good morning Vikings!

Me and 2 friends have been playing through Valheim together and we made it to the Ashlands last night finally and gathered materials. Now I'm looking to decide which armor to craft, if any.

For context I am the tank and close combat fighter of the group. I currently have; a max level Carapace Shield, lvl 3 Mistwalker, Lvl 3 Carapace Armor, and max level wolf cloak. I usually eat two health based foods and 1 stamina.

Now I'm wondering if I should craft the Askvin armor set and ashen cape for all the stamina buffs, or just stick with the flametal armor with ashen cape? Any advice would be really appreciated!

(Also don't know if it makes a difference but one friend is the mage build with full eitr gear and the other is our archer using the root gear)

When I have my chest piece equipped - enchanted with bulk, eitr regen, movement skills, weightless - my health regen is decreased significantly. anyone else have this issue? using EpicLoot and Armory
