Wraiths only come out at night.
Any teamwork driven CMDRs in Valheim?

Yes, just not sure if they despawn too. With a blob that size there is enough shade from the sun.
I copied a friends design for swamp portals. Seems to work well for everything except wraiths.
Was going to post yesterday about how fun the sailing is.
Today I'm stuck in a storm, in a narrow channel with the headwind just off a Swamp / Plains intersection - naked as I'm on my way back to where I lost my main ship to an unintended Plains beaching while trying to find a nice spot to get to Moder. What a game

Update. You guys were right I had the wrong dungeon. The one I died in I had not marked on the map before entering, but my death was marked in between two others that had been marked. A dumb mistake on my part.

I'm presuming you know the pieces colour based upon 'number-of-pieces-to-get-to-ground', red is bad, blue is good etc. You need to have less intermediate pieces I think - core wood poles or stone are good, depending upon how far on you are. I still need to make a Plains base ... probably next ...
Yes, blocking is veryx powerful. It's no secret because when you tooltip shields and weapon the game tells you that there is not only block but parry, too.Here's something for beginners, people like me, that is. But don't laugh at me, I play as spoilerless as possible, hence my slow progress, plus I'm a coward - especially in Valheim.
Also, a big thanks to everyone who respects my way of playing by using spoiler tags wherever appropriate, I really appreciate it. Nowadays it's not always easy to avoid spoilers, unless you refuse to use the internet at all. For example, I couldn't avoid catching a spoiler about how I would get my first pickaxe. But that is only one of the very few exceptions, but more on that below.
First of all, torches have an interesting alternative use, as the game already hints at in one of its runestones:
The Greylings (spelling?) are actually very afraid of fire and this short clip shows why.
I'm not sure if they are made of it or just carry it in or on them ( maybe in their luggage?), but this resin they leave behind when they die makes them easily inflammable. And that makes a lot of sense, since our torches are made of the same resin. I suspect that the grey dwarfs are also affected, but I'll have a look at that soon.

Some posts ago someone mentioned catching a fish by hand. Sorry, but if you really meant a still living fish I'll strongly doubt it, unless I see it with my own eyes. What I do suspect though, that he was picking up a dead fish instead. This happens sometimes on the shore or in very shallow brooks, but even here it's not always possible, unless...
My first encounter with Eikthyr scared me so much that I didn't dare try again, especially because I didn't know how long he would lurk if I failed again.
But this time I felt the time was ripe, especially after finding and entering my first dungeon (no maps, very creepy!), which also immediately answered the question of where to get enough bone shards (from an early chance encounter with a skeleton in the Black Forest - but outside - I had just 2 or 3 pieces) for the maximum possible upgrade of my leather armour at the moment. By the way, blocking in Valheim seems pretty powerful to me. Anyway, I love my tower shield, even if it slows me down.

And now off to the ore mines!
No. it's how you find the bosses. I wish there was such a thing for the merchant, too.
I have not had that happen to me. I have found the alternative locations by chance while exploring but they do not show on the map at all. Guess it is a bug.
You can re-summon them if you want at anytime provided you have the necessary sacrifice. Only give the same rewards again though.
I wish I had seen this thread earlier. I love this game and it has kept me away from Elite and the forums for a solid 2 weeks while I was exploring, fighting, dying, retrieving my body and dying again.
Most of my shelters have been ramshackle hovels. I did find something awesome sailing along the coast however that finally inspired me to set down roots. A week later and several voyages later it's mostly done.

Normally I stay clear of the plains when exploring along the coast. Those deathsquitos are nasty. When I happened across a full stone henge it was something I couldn't sail by. I put into a narrow meadows river and stealthed through the plain to check it out. I didn't know what I would build but this would be my future home.
I call it "the hub"; its a portal network incorporated into the standing stones of the henge. Circled in sturdy ramparts with arrows slits. Flanked in spikes and bonfires with a single central tower rising skyward. The construction is finished. Now to start hanging trophies on the walls while I search for the plains boss.
Ah, if you scour the starting island you may stumble on another summon place for the 1st boss. I think it's just to have several places so travels aren't too long. You can always come back and sacrifice your fav boss over and over, too. It's the only way to really get rid of all the deer trophies...
Usually you get but 1 location revealed (nearest) but looks like both are equidistant so you got two.

Our design is similar, but we fixed it to one of the swamp tress, so no Draugr can attack its support. You can use core wood beams to make platforms to move around the swamp nearly undisturbed.
I play Valheim like Elite, avoiding spoilers and how-to-do descriptions - If all I do is follow someone elses instructions, I might just as well watch a video.Here's something for beginners, people like me, that is. But don't laugh at me, I play as spoilerless as possible, hence my slow progress, plus I'm a coward - especially in Valheim.

Catching living fish with bare hands is possible, but they have to be really close and the window to catch them is very short. [/ispoiler]Just walk into shallow water with fish nearby and wait. First you will scare them away, but they will come back. Patience, and you will catch it. [/ispoiler] Not exactly an efficient way to get food though.
Yes, there is a maximum of intermediate pieces between a solid foundation and the final piece. Stone, no matter its integrity colour, always counts as solid foundation for any wood pieces connected to it (making it blue, and starting the colouring from there). This does not work for iron clad beams - but those allow greater heights anyway, and also count as solid foundation for wood pieces.
This is normal and not a bug. Each boss has I think 3 spawn location, and when you find a rune stone revealing a location it is always one of the possible location (not sure if it is the closest one). You can also stumble upon it by random exploration, we found Molder by chance long before we were able to take it on, it is quite close to our main base.
Edit: My kids and I defeated the first boss today, they did very well, no deaths and now they can't wait to use their new tools in the Black Forest.
The choice of armour is a good one. Light and nimble is good option. Carried me to the swamp and inside it. I entirely skipped bronze armour. I hear some even skip the next tier after that. You did muse about fire and greylings, no? And you know boats? I forbade you to make floats, iirc. So why go in the forest, drudge through stumps and enemies, unwieldy terrain, skelingtons and whatnot - if you can have coastal serenade tour instead? Inspire the locals with favourite songs of Nordic tender spirits, set up camp near the water and join with some good honest earthwork by a campfire. The boat will be near carrying more copper than you alone ever could and you can even shoot the audience that booed on the return leg. All that very leisurely from your boat.
Boat is simply best.
Yes, hunting is nice, but not running with a cart and overburdened. I like the glow of the thistles. Black forest at night is nice. So is boat trip with copper haul. Or tin. Tin is found at shore anyway.
I did even logging "raids" with a better boat. There is always shortage of fine wood and I went in viking style on virgin island. Good fun. I even ravaged a part of undead settlement. I will visit them next "year" again.
