Complete Mistlands Farming Guide - Valheim Tips & Tricks

The demonstration as to what each plant makes at the beginning is reversed, Jotunn Puffs make things like honey glazed chicken and misthare supreme whereas Magecaps make things like stuffed mushrooms and other Eitr foods.

I feel like sunlight and smoke should be able to pass through the iron grates so we can make essentially a greenhouse with iron grate ceiling

Did you test?

[@Holligan878]

Easiest solution is to make a remote farm you teleport to. Find a part of the mistlands that is fog free so you can spot gjalls easily and just plant a field with a basic fence around and then you simply teleport there for harvesting and planting. Occasionally you have to clear the area of enemies, but that should only happen when you go there to harvest, which means the crops are already grown and wont draw aggro. You can also synchronously plant other stuff in your main base at the same time, that way you know when the mistland crops are ready, because they all take the same amount of time.

[@svengalt9546]

I found the opposite to work for me. My farm is in a low area where the mist stays thick enough that gjalls fly over without seeing. One time however, I was clearing seekers from the farm area when my fighting attracted a gjall down from the hills so I hid in my base. It just made angry noises and then left. I didn't hear it do any damage to my walls or crops, so I left too. Next time I portaled back in and jumped the walls into the farm, three ticks immediately got me. The gjall dumped ticks into my farm and then de-agrod and left. Funniest thing the AI has done to me so far: accidentally set a trap.

[@joshmeyer8172]

This. I'm not sure Jiroc knows that enemies only spawn when you're around

[@haken27]

Bonus points if your farms mistless zone also contain a couple of roots

[@KrisPage3]

My farm is in the swamp. The leaches and puff fish are everywhere. No seekers or gjall just a wrath and undead to kill. A dwarf spawns nearby sometimes and nukes everything but the puffers

[@allensmith9062]

I've been using rafts as roofs over my gardens as they appear as open sky to anything planted under them. I discovered it when experimenting in the plains back in the day....

[@lolboy-642]

😱

[@svenskdod]

I found a very small midlands zone wedged between two forests a mountains and the ocean. Never had any of the mistlands creatures spawn there. Plenty of space for farming. Left like 5 2* wolves there to protect from forest mobs, all good 😎

[@Reoh0z]

My favourite plains farm was a microbiome island. Pest free farming I just port in and pick up. There's also a small dock just in case. I wonder if I can find a Mistlands island like that.

[@Reoh0z]

I really need to finish videos before commenting, you did mention our helpful island friends!

[@figolol8666]

What if you plant them in some mistlands spot that you use ONLY for that and visit this spot ONLY to plant and ONLY to harvest them. There are no active mobs if there is no player there, but the plants still grow over time, right?

[@JohnSaysHi]

That's basically what I've been doing. Built a double high wood wall around it, put in a mist torch so I can see, and I'm in and out in 5 minutes... Haven't had an issue yet!

[@porous9]

I found a small zone of Mistlands in the midst of a Plains area, with a Mountain on one side and the sea on the other. I just leveled that off, cultivated it, slapped a stake wall fence around it and have never been bothered by anything. I think Mistland zones have to be a certain size for Seekers and Gjalls to spawn. I've spent a LOT of time around my farm, catching Hares and suchlike, and have never spotted either a Seeker or Gjall in the area. It has to be totally disconnected from nearby Mistlands, though. The other thing I did, which is quite handy, was to use a Sap tree as part of the fence. I built the stake walls either side of the tree so that there was no gap, but a part of the tree protruded into my farming area. I put my Extractor in that small section of tree inside my farm. It means that passing monsters can't get to it. I had several Extractors destroyed when I put them on trees out in the open. I'm not sure whether monsters were attacking the Extractor or the Workbench next to it but the AoE damage destroyed both. Now they can't get to the Extractor. It's also a simple matter for me to just grab 10 Sap every time I come to collect shrooms. I started off hunting Hares but quickly abandoned that and let the indigenous wildlife kill them for me. Hares will readily wander from my small Mistlands zone into both the Plains on one side and the Mountain on the other. Squitoes, Wolves and Drakes absolutely slaughter Hares. It is then a simple matter of running around collecting the pelts and meat.

Great suggestions, thank you! :)

[@1DOGNATE]

The farming grid mod works on the pts and it gets the spacing right

[@Cappanerd]

I enjoy the small details you figure out. Thanks!

[@justchill4885]

I tried putting an Iron cage roof over the farm and that didn't work either, it still said they needed a sky =/

[@IaIaCthulhuFtagn]

Meh I just flattened an area in a valley and put up stone walls around it. I slapped some workbenches sandwiched between stone walls about, but the terrain was a bit too rough to do a thorough job of workbench coverage. It has lessened spawns a bit. When I do hear something outside the walls I lead it off and kill it away from the farm. Though I expect they probably wouldn't even notice me inside unless I made some noise.

[@netkill]

sorry man cant watch this until i play some mist lands for myself, i really want to be surprised by some new stuff when i get there

[@JirocTheViking]

No worries! See ya on the other side!

[@djnorth2020]

Just my luck to find the two mushrooms but a massive area of my first ever Mistlands is.... tiny rock islands that you can't farm ayyy

[@rogerf3675]

while your cultivating mushrooms, are they like thistle...where when you pick them there is an existing stem that will grow to another one, or is it considered picked and having to replant ?

[@electlocution9289]

I didn't even know we could plant those. That in of itself is a massive tip for me. Thanks!

[@KrisPage3]

did anyone notice that the jelly and ticks respawn in the dungeons, the seekers respawn ontop of the dungeons so if you leave a portal no bench just block the entrance when you leave you can farm them

[@lolboy-642]

mine doesnt seem to respawn inside or outside of the infested mines

[@KrisPage3]

@@lolboy-642 did you remove the work benchs. I think torches will also stunt spawns. I will log in later to see if if it was changed. I have not played the new update.

[@bonniewright226]

Speaking of the floating menaces and what they attack I have a question… but it may contain spoilers for your viewers, so please don’t read further if you’re not wanting any spoilers!! I haven’t played Mistlands yet but I’ve read the notes and watched many videos. And it’s my understanding that they can break stone and wood bases but not the black marble. I am just curious about the new base raids because it seems like they’ll be the newest creatures to attack your main base or any base if it triggers a raid. So does that mean we must upgrade every base we built? And/ or possibly see months or years of work obliterated. I remember the cave update killing off some of my boars that I let free range but I still had many protected and was grateful. But then that update to fix the not syncing to the cloud issue set me back to zero and day one! 2200 days and 1,200 hours play time… just gone forever. I was too heartbroken to start over again until now. I simply don’t want all my new endeavors to go bye bye once again. Any advice or will they only attack Mistlands bases?

[@tauan4498]

They dont attack meadows and BF bases, or something like that. But the event can happen in any other biome

[@dannave7816]

I think if you built a small plot (2 X 2) with walls 3 or 4 walls high, that the parallax effect would prevent any Gjall from seeing your mushrooms unless they were perfectly overhead. Put a door in on the second level...

[@OldIronShops]

I've been growing next to a planes and also next to a black forest biome. And have walls so far no blims have bomes me perhaps they can't see threw the mist as I only use a wisp light when I'm planting.

[@silascz3535]

Good suggestions. A much better suggestion is to farm along the border of mistlands and another biome, such as plains, black forest or such. Keep your farm small, maybe do two or more not too close together, but still on the border. Use an outpost or a base in the biome outside of the mist so you can come in and harvest and reset. Do this route, and after only a few crops you will have more shrooms than you need till the end of game.

[@robi2757]

It should be remembered that increasing the land area of ​​such a lonely island changes the number and type of monsters in a given area.

[@nowherefool5869]

how high can the gjalls fly and how high can you raise the ground?

[@winterrose7094]

Gjalls cant reach ground that is high enough for snow

[@oiletmeplay]

How about a big wall made with metal columns, right by the end of the biome, guess it should work

[@ankha6415]

Whats the consensus? Mistland base or stay where you're at.

[@zacyu208]

You can plant them on a mountain next to a mistland biome, if you managed to find a cultivate area in the highest peak, you'll be safe for gall for cultivation, although the problem you'll be dealing with are now drakes.

[@davesskillet9235]

you need one mod Tesla Coil

[@afielsch]

pro tip go to mistlands on your pre mistlands live seed, discover all of it, bam! planting ground for when mistlands go live and all of it undisturbed. '-)

[@JirocTheViking]

Will probably still spawn enemies I'm guessing 🤔

[@afielsch]

@@JirocTheViking u think?! then it would not work at all of course!

[@JirocTheViking]

​@@afielsch Using a small island, you can put down items to prevent spawn. And then it would be harder for Seekers to get to your island. As for the Gjall... well, better portal out! lol

[@JirocTheViking]

Not really possible as you'll notice all content creators showing spoilery thumbnails. The reason is because these videos will catch the KZbin algorithm and be shown to players long past the public release, so they need to be as eye catching as possible. It's just the way of things unfortunately.
