FAQ

Wearing and crafting

Can I wear two wisps? Not normally. They share the Wisplight's slot, the same one as Megingjord and the Wishbone. That's what the Wisp Anchor is for. If you play with InventorySlots, the Wisplings_Compat_InventorySlots mod lets a wisp go in its Demister slot as well, so you can wear two. See Mod Compatibility.

I can't see the wisp recipes at the Galdr table. Valheim only lists a recipe once you've found its materials. If you have and they still aren't there, the server may have switched that wisp off, or moved the recipes to another station ([Crafting] Station in the config).

I can't upgrade to level 2 or 3. Level 2 needs a level 2 Galdr table and level 3 a level 3 table. Build the table's upgrades nearby.

The costs at the table don't match the wiki. The server can change any recipe in its config. The Crafting Costs page shows the defaults.

When a wisp isn't doing anything

My Stoker, Stash or Herder Wisp just follows me around. Those three only work inside a base, near a workbench or fire. They also need something to do: fuel in a chest and a fire running low, a chest with a Stash sign next to it, or a hungry tame and food it eats.

My Bastion Wisp does nothing. It only works from a Wisp Anchor, and it needs Refined Eitr as fuel (hold Shift and use the Anchor). If the Anchor says it's dark, another Bastion within 50 m is already guarding the base.

It says "The server has switched the … off". The host has set that wisp's Enabled to false. It still works as a plain wisplight and clears mist.

My anchored wisp stopped working while I was away. The Anchor only runs while someone is close enough for that part of the world to be loaded. It picks up again when you come back.

My Repair Wisp stopped in the rain. It rests while it rains and goes back to work when it clears. During a raid it keeps working, at half speed.

Config and updates

Can I change the numbers? Yes. See the Configuration page. Every wisp has its own section with ranges, amounts, timings and recipes.

I updated and the new costs aren't showing. Your config file keeps the numbers it already has. Delete the … Costs sections (or the lines you haven't changed) and the new defaults are written back next launch.

There are red cost_line_reset lines in my log. That's the mod tidying up after an update. A recipe changed, your config still named an item it no longer uses, and that line was reset to the current default. The log shows the old and new line. It happens once, and nothing else in the file is touched.

Other questions

Does everyone on the server need it? Yes, the host or server too. See the Multiplayer page.

Will it break my game if I remove it? Wisps are items added by the mod, so if you remove Wisplings, any wisps you're carrying or have stored go with it. Your buildings and the rest of your world are fine. If you're unsure, back up your character and world first.

Where do I report a bug? Leave a comment on the mod's Thunderstore page. If you can, turn on [Debug] VerboseLogging, make it happen again, and include BepInEx/LogOutput.log.
