It absolutely is.
I think people just need to get better with the cart. It's not that hard to move with it, the biggest trick is that you can dodge-roll out of it if you need to get into combat or defend yourself.
Ah yes, the cart that is caught on every bump, rock, and imperfection in a natural world is a substitute for me having additional inventory.
That's the "getting better" part. It's not super hard to avoid those things once you figure it out. I use it through unimproved wild areas all the time, especially in the Bronze age.
It slows the pace of play and is not a substitute. That is why qol mods were created for backpacks or extended inventory. It may have a use, but to say it is a substitute is a tough argument to make.
lot of sneering on the cart for obvious reasons, but i find myself using it a lot more than i'd have thought i needed to xD
I like it in three scenarios: more boat space, rolling down mountains, or building in water.
Sooner than later, the cart ends up being more useful as a way to have a mobile "chest" you can use while building rather than a cargo cart to transport resources
I mean, it is a survival game. It's meant to have some choices and planning involved.
And that's still a stretch because it can get stuck in the stairs.
Not ladders, the actual stairs
i go for 2 stairs 2 floorboards, rinse repeat to get over any obstacle reasonably with a cart in tow
I will leave my two cents as a rebuttal to yours. I personally would enjoy another row of inventory.
Don't care if carry weight remains the same to maintain your sense of survival in this world.
If the cart was as valuable as you suggest the community would utilize it more and there would be less griping about expanding carry weight. As it stands it is a poor substitute with severe use constraints.
Huh. Weird... like you gotta make hard decisions in a brutal survival game instead of it being handed to you π€·ββοΈ Or even just think a bit more about if you actually need to bring all the things with that you're bringing with. If you've got portal materials, you don't need to bring food really, etc.
That's probably going to get better answers in #dedicated-server
ok thanks
I suppose I'm indifferent to this tactic of claiming I'm asking for it all to be given to me. With a weight restriction, choices will still have to be made.
But if you are so adamant against another row I will continue to play with QOL mods and others will continue to think its silly that there are no improvements to inventory size.
It's not QoL, it's reducing limitations it to be easier. Same class as turning the difficulty down. You do you, but it's balanced the way it is for a reason, to make you make choices instead of easily having everything.
Hey, i was looking how to enable console on GFN and in one video there was a comment from "smiffy" saying "lol there is a much easier way we added console in chat window a while back specifically for GFN users". Any idea how to use that? To my surprise typing /devcommands in regular chat prompts a "devcommands: true" actually right now, but no clue how to use commands after that.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console has all your answers.
It is 100% quality of life.
It breaks the pace of play to constantly portal back. It improves up time on adventures to have another row. Half the materials I collect are useless, but I wouldn't say I like the look of a world sprinkled with discarded items. So trash mod beautiful, another row of inventory chefs kiss.
Again... please don't ask the same thing in 3 different channels. It confuses the answers.
You know things you drop disappear after 3 days in game, right? Unless they're near workbench or campfire or something.
I do, but it bugs me a lot when you're actively passing through a spot. Its a personal quirk i know, but I feel compelled to clear it out.
i think we could "win" the argument for more slots 10000 times and it wouldn't make a difference
You are right.
do you want to win an argument or do you want to have a discussion, different things
adding more is mostly agreed by the players, it does seem unbalanced to get less space the more stuff you get, especially in later biomes it bogs down the player unnecessarily
but they also haven't added a single slot since EA release...
Also, they could add another inventory row, it would be enough for you...
But not for another player, who will ask for another row.
Does that mean they should add another row every single time someone asks?
It will never be enough
not sure on that, Skyrim added backpacks and it's been infinitely better since
Hi guys quick question can anyone confirm that once you kill the ashlands miniboss you have a chance of it invading your house?
Don't think so.
so he shouldent be a part of the raids?
no
you could always suggest he be added to raids?
could even do it as a slider so it's optional
Raids are already a slider
he's a big addition if he were to be added to them, balance issue
should be the Valheim mission statement 
makes sense
The raid reto could just have 0 stars
goodevening, best attack weapon for Mistlands? got killed 5 times XD
@modest moth so once i have killed reto he can spawn as a raid at your house?
Frostner, ooze bombs and frost arrows π Seekers resist all physical damage types.
Got a question on Ashlands. Didnβt see a tab for it. Didnβt want to put said question out here for those that may not be there yet.
You can use the spoiler tag, or you can go to id:customize and join the public test group to get access to #valheim-public-test which is a great place for that
No, that's just me posting ideas
There's no reto raid in the game
yet
is there a mod that would allow you to swim to the bottom of the sea to recover lost cargo??
I doubt it, but you could always ask the mod guys #mods-discussion
Thanks
Fly mode - you can go as deep into the ocean as you want
Sounds like EITC is in Valheim
just be aware that items despawn insta in Ocean biome when they pass below 2m under water
Huh.
That is not something I knew π€
oh damn... really???
yes, only in Ocean biome tho, they can drop lower than that in other biomes and not despawn
hmm....
How do you set this up?
do you know how to activate devcommands?
um... I think, but I'm not 100% sure
you need to put -console in steam launch options in properties, then F5 to open the console in game, then type "devcommands", then "debugmode", then press z to start flying
in that case they stay on biome seafloor for the regular 2 game days before despawning, unless there's a base item in range
does that include your tombstone??
tombstones stay forever (until emptied), and ones made on water float on top
hmm... that's what I thought as well. I'm just confused as to why my friend's TS was nowhere to be found where the boat sunk
server desync most likely
Is... there a way to load a previous save, say like... roll back 3 or 4 days before?
yes in the manage saves section, you can restore worlds and characters that have backup saves, which you'll see once you look there
Hey guys, Question. If we had a world older than ashlands, would the new stuff still generate properly in that old world or would you need to make a new one?
should be fine and playable
ok!
biome borders near Ashlands might look a bit odd with floating trees and rocks where the land has turned to water but that's kinda normal for an old world
Sorry to ping, where's the manage saves?
just after you press start
you wouldn't be able to restore a world you don't host
fair enough! That's what I thought.
unless the person with the world saves sends you copies
just came back to the game and have no mods what-so-ever and I can now take copper ore through a portal, was this an update or am I experiencing a fortunate bug?
There are "world modifiers" now that you can adjust in the base game, and one of those is allowing metals+ through portals. If you're playing on a server, they likely enabled that one.
I stole a vikings hammer as a prank, he was not very happy he just pulled another hammer from his satchel and started yelling HaMmER!!!!! Smashing everything to bits
I stole Mjolnir as a prank
interesting question
"I want to have owner please I'll take good care of it"
Well, that's not going to happen in an official Discord.
How DARE you sire, I am top of my class in 2077!
well.. til the nukes fell anyways, play fallout to understand
why?
I mean.. developers are likely one of the owners
That's really suspicious.
if y looking for one with the OWNER role, then they may or may not have it
not all the time, that can disappear
but do you need a reason? You can use @worn finch to contact a moderator if need be
WHY?
It's not really a mystery. If you know anything about the game you'll be able to guess it.
Settle down y'all
Uh, the dev team did, why do you ask?
Sorry, I just think this individual is spearfishing for information
Oh, undoubtedly.
Asking pointed questions about a key controller of a server.
sure, we'll go with that

Discord came back to their senses and put the messages tab where it used to be 
Meowning gβjall
Anyone know how long it takes the new beast to mature from a hatcling?
type debugmode in console. bring up map, ctrl + middle mouse click where you want to teleport
does anyone know the highest levels you can upgrade the newest weapons from the ashlands?
Morgen Gjall π
As Lolly said, or type "goto x y" x and y being the coordinates you want to go to π
goto 0 0 sends you to the center of the map
or if you want to find some place.
use POS, which will tell you X, Z and Y co-ordinates.
then you use X and Y to teleport to that specific spot
Morgen gjall.
helloo im new here whats up ?
TMI
Please continue to update us πΏ
Let's not
Make sure to drink lots and eat salty things, to stay hydrated.
Best would be a sport drink like aquarius or so.
Please do spoiler the next updates if there are any.
Huh
Doubt itβll stay, itβll be deleted if it was TMI
It's gone, HOORAY!
Future will be great, update soon π
moin everyone
hi!
Noon.
You must be on the other side of the world, because it's almost 6am where I am(or 0600 for those who use military time).
right, it's 2pm for me, I think the internet is great, everyone can be together, everyone is the same, no matter where they're from π
same for me here π 14:00/2pm in 11 minutes
BTW, posted a actual happy bee here: #memes-and-clips message
It was likely just waking up from being between boxes in my warehouse.
Belgium, 1400.
Ya, that would explain the time difference.
Afternoon vikings!
Noon Murning.
Kamap 
Heyoo Murning π π
murning in the afternoon, can there be anything better hihihi
Murning in the murning.
10.43pm here .. so good morning, and goodnight π
have an awesome day everyone
yo berserkirs need knives skill or axes skill?
axes

Want to ask what's for the future of valheim what's next? What are the dev team looking to make? (Serious question not to criticize the devs or anything just curious to know)
Finishing the game would be a priority I'd imagine...
deep north π€
when it's done π
how to remove wolves from the game, nightmare infusing creature in high difficulty
Man, Ashlands still needs some tweaks. Y'all need some chill π
lul, you'll be glad they exist when/if you can tame a pair
I want some chil(l)i!
Not sure if there are mods that do that, but wolves are far from the worst things you'll meet π
nah they are the worst
Have you met a Seeker yet? π
yup yup, pretty easy to dodge and they are significantly slower than the player
idk how to explain how much i hate wolves rn
A whole freaking lot? If a wolf was the last thing available you wouldn't even touch it with an 11 foot pole?
Make it 25 foot
You ask if the AXES scale with KNIVES skill
*ocean
with wolves you just need to dodge/parry as soon as you hear the attack sound
gets harder when there are multiple
just Atgeir you out of the problem π
woule be realy cool, cause I never use knives ^^
damn, you got me. But if i could use axeskill on that, i would give it another try.
Time for something I haven't done in ages...
clears throat
GOOOOOOOOOD Morning Valheimers!
birds incoming π
Did Irongate add some new devs to the roster? π
depends from when you're thinking
Been 14 for a while now.
only since.. january? π€
That's nearly 5 months.
some people only visit ever 6 months so..
True.
they climb on each other, they are evolving and it's getting worse and worse, the wolves they are becoming smart ;-;
Wolf pack form of wolf submarine!
KAKAAW!

I feel like no one here is young enough to have seen the storks movie
I vaguely remember it lol
never heard of it
it wasn't that great
It wasnβt but the wolf forms were amazing
My kid didnβt even finish watching it but I did π
I've seen it once, I still watch such movies even if I'm turning 40 in June.
I have an army of little cousins, so I've seen a good number of those movies
βWolf pack form of wolf suspension bridgeβ and then they turn into a moving bridge is wild
For your 2 star wolf problem, just wait till morning, it will disappear.
lol the only tenor gif is wolf pack form of broken heart
i ain't no scaredy cat
Young tyke.
No I won't get of your lawn old geezer!
storks?
Storrrkkkssss
anyone knows how dificulty scales with multiple player?
its some % more health for creatures per player iirc (i really dont remember the exact numbers sorry π )
4% something per player up to 5 players
I canβt remember what itβs called to look it up on the wiki
Itβs not multiplayer scaling apparently
found it
Creatures gain +30% more effective health per each additional player within 100 meters. E.g. 3 players = +60% effective health.
This is updated whenever the creature takes damage.
Creatures gain +4% more damage per each additional player within 100 meters. E.g. 3 players = +8% damage.
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Creatures
Aight thank you
I really like the item description of the new berserkr axes that are red enchanted
"The more health you are missing the harder you are sure to hit"
it's very very cool
or something like that, couldn't find it in the wiki π and my stuff is on the battlefield rn lol
Probably not in the next update. Deep north is likely 2-3 years away
Release-mistlands and mistlands-ashlands didn't have 2 year gaps
Mistlands was 2022 but in December so I guess they update sooner than I thought
So maybe more like 1-2 years
There was also a huge update between those biomes
revamp? its a unfinished biome, it will be done before 1.0
What will the next update be then?
if its not deep north
I meant major update
greyling trophy
Dear community is there any post or anything any info how many additional Biomes we will get before full release of Valheim? :p
valhalla biome, its just an endless long house with a very long table
And if you walk for 500 hours you find a greyling trophy
My male boar just gave birth
thats good(?)
and if you walk for 500 more?
A seagull with the same stats as the elder
has anyone done testing on the stability of flametal beams compared to iron?
Hyper are you there? You have bit of a challenge here π
The puncher of birds wont be punching this bird.
Then you'd be the man that walked a thousand miles.
What if you walk 0.9 miles per hour?
Then you would have to restart
can someone who has client sided mods join a server where everybody else plays vanilla?
Yes
noice
(Hopefully) Ocean and Deep North
Thank you guys π
Yo I'm new here and haven't played valheim before but I noticed it was on sale, regardless should I get valheim? how would it fair for solo play?
I couldn't find any nice reviews in yt (except the blown up ones back from launch) so aside from steam reviews wanted to know how's the game in 2024
Amazing. Addicting. Brutal. Solo playable
solo playable, very well
What are you waiting for? BUY.
I first played on a friend's world but wanted to play more so had made my own world and solo progged up to mistlands. Ashland might be difficult solo but definitely doable
It's very rarely on sale so that alone should be enough encouragement
Honestly I was about to buy but some steam reviews were talkin bout how the new region replaced smth and lost all the stuff they built or sm and another one was complaining about the difficulty in new region so wanted to make sure I don't pour hours into it only to know current state/new updates was bad or something
why solo play u ask, i got none to play with I suppose, so wanted to clear it up
I mean ik i'll pour some hours at least since it's a survival game but as said in the last text ^
thats why you dont build things in an unfinished biome of the game
New biome was added over a week ago, update messed up only those people's buildings who had built in the area where the update added new content or where terrain changed.
Both are true...
But It's also true that it has been common knowledge for a long time that the destruction of structures in the area surrounding the newest biome would be drastically changed and result in the collapse of those structures due to world generation changes... And many of them did it anyway.
And difficulty in the newest biome is hard, but it's also one of the last ones in progression so it's to be expected. There are ways to make the game easier if it proves to be too difficult.
Those people just refuse to use the solutions that are right there as well and prefer to whine about it
i lost half a wall on my base QQ 
The game is balanced around playing solo, even the newest biome as I've already seen plenty who have finished it in single player despite people saying is "literally impossible" or "anti-player"
its really not that bad, you just need to get used to it
Rianu summed it up pretty well.
Ah I didn't get the full picture, for a game in Early Access it is fair enough for destruction surrounding the newest biome, I thought some old biome was yeeted and so there was that mad review on steam
that settles it, thanks for summing it up mate
oh and if I may, how does coop work actually? is there server constraints?
default max is 10 players, but there are mods for all sorts of things, increasing that limit being one
as in i can only play in these servers from the same region I'm from or I can coop with anyone with just ping being the issue?
ye anyone
Neat
ppl looking for more players post/reply in #1024264966712340510 π
o7 mate, I'm sold
Couldn't fi d people to play with so I been playing with my girl and it's way more fun
Why do you make it sound like she was the absolute last resort π
"Looking for player 2..."
She was! Lol jk. She never wanted to play but now that I'm further she's into it now
Become.
Based on the map design, would: Hubward, Rimward, Turnwise, and Widdershins be appropriate directional terms?
For "cardinal directions "? Not sure I know your reference, but something like "toward Yggdrasil" , "away from Yggdrasil" ," above" and , "Below" might work since the main trunk/branch usually is on one side of the world and players use it for navigation when playing mapless.
"Maxidrasil", big Drasil, Tward Yggdrasil
"Minidrasil", Small Drasil, away from Yggdrasil
Will the next biome be the deep north?
Yes, that's the only remaining biome.
Awesome!
I mean, ocean is a biome too that needs work
But it's not going to get an update like Mistlands or Ashlands did
oh gods that would depressing, it really needs a serious update
i did, will look for the screen shot
Greetings frens
Does everyone else have slow mode on?
Great tune π΅
How common are flametal ore pillars?
It can without being as big as mistlands or ashlands
Is there a precedent for a game dev studio integrating fan mods into the main game?
yes
Ocean+Home
Skyrim is the biggest/obvious one
doesn't mean to say the devs here will adopt any, but the option is there should they choose at/post 1.0
It just seems like a reasonable strategy to accelerate development of Valheim without increasing the size of the core dev team, or increasing development costs
If there were mods worthy of inclusion in vanilla Valheim, which I suspect probably exist
it won't happen during active development tho, they've stated they have their vision for the game and will finish that before other considerations
is there a scheduled release for 1.0?
Yes: ||At some point in the future||
Hey all, I'm new π
Greetings, fellow viking.
are Asksvins unable to live outside of Ash
We are getting there π
But we need to finish the content first. The look at Balance
Ashlands is awesome but I love wintery biomes, so excited for Deep North! Wishing for one more ship or a Drakkar customization option for DN as I love the sailing! (Also I am happy with current ocean content, hope there will still be vast open expanses of nothing but water to sail through if anything more is done to Ocean) Being on the high seas with nothing but waves around me is part of the viking experience for me.
treasure islands and pirate dvergr though
pirates would be so very wrong
Morgen gjall π
Valheim is not ice age π€
Have the devs mentioned a patch to enemy spawn rate in the ashlands?
Or is this a "it's working as intended, prey I don't alter it further" kind of situation π
sharpen your weapons and crush the enemies
That's what we call in the industry a pro gamer move. Enemy spam = challenging and fun game design?
If enough players slay the enemies and reduce the global numbers of them, naturally doing so reduces the enemy spawn rate
π
Hahaha if only
you're in the 2nd to last biome in the game
can't expect a walk in the park from here on π€
Hahaha oh boy
I just find a non-populated beach, make landfall, kill whatever is nearby. build a small base of operations, go out and kill some more stuff
Okay let me ask you this. Does killing spawners in the ashlands reduce mob spawning in the ashlands? It definitely doesn't feel like it. Is that intended?
So what's the point of having spawners?
but you're suppose to be in a warzone
Ah sorry, to clarify. What was that yes to? Yes to reducing spawn rate or yes to intended?
I find it ironic that the undead hellscape is the most lively area in the game π
what players are calling spawn rate. isn't really a "rate"
things should respawn just as fast as any other biome
we just have alot more monsters in ashlands, than previous biomes
can you increase spawnrate? my wild thorns kinda run out of things to hit after a few seconds
idgaf about spawn rates bump them up just fuck this lava this shit sucks
So boring to keep spamming bombs then a spout comes up below me and shoots me into the lava
Me and my 2 friends have not had a single flametal expedition without ALL dying (2 people to lava each time)
krill issue clearly
ah yes, lava plankton
2 inch reach distance sucks assss
barely can pick up anything from lava
It's all the worst
I like the rest of the biome. Not lava.
Tamed Asksvin can walk on lava
Meowning π₯°
how much ore are you expecting from each node? play safe 10-30 ore from a node. ez game
dude i jump on the platforms of the basalt bombs and I just get knocked off
This is an alright Idea
Morgen gjall.
patch enemy spawn rates to increase them π
I hope they patch vineberry growth rate, its really poor rn
But not a big issue since is grows wild in abundance
it's bugged due to logout etc reset them

I gotta say, i love all the videos and trailers iron gate puts out but i cant watch them because im afraid of spoilers. Could you guys start making absolutely spoiler free content? xD
sorry but no π¦
alrighty, ill watch the ashlands trailer after ive cleared it, i heard it was cool
I'd say it's on par with coolness level as the previous ones π€
not very cool, actually rather hotπ₯
Sizzling even!
wouldnt it be boiling? or bubbling?
If a trailer gets so hot you can fry and egg and bacon on it it is sizzling.
I would ask "Can you eat it safely" ? π
moin everyone
doesnt seem too. same with the spawners that were in the dark forest
We say βdirt cleanses the stomachβ when babies eat sand, does this also apply to truckers who consume oil?
Depends on the coating the trailer has.
i raided one of the ashlands fort on normal successfully and then discovered a valkyrie creature that wasone tapping me. i have since turned the difficulty down to very easy
i reckon they should increase the boss trophy abilities from 5 min to 10-15 mins
did you have the new armor or mistlands one?
i have the new eitr armor. i use the staffs rather than melee builds
the embla armor or something like that
What on earth are you wearing that a valkarie one shotβs you???
Magic shield? π«§
embla armor. no shield i have staff.
sometimes cant block due to too much stuff around. so i just turned difficulty down
My fellow acolyte of the magical arts, are you using the bubble staff? π
Legit we are too squishy to exist in the Ashlands without one
I strongly suggest using the magic shield staff (affectionately known as the bubble staff) π«§
Magic is OP but you are going to struggle horribly without a full mage set
thanks ill try
i use the staff even when im not playing a mage character
i forgot about it π
Youβll need to work on levelling up your blood magic skills a bit to get the most out of it, but I literally curb stomped the Ashlands boss with nothing but my magic
oh nice
The shield offers something like a 400-600 protection against mobs when around 60-70 skill
good good. i like the troll/skeleton spawn staff except when it spawns underneath me
And the best part is that there is no overkill - your shield can take 600 damage and you take 900 damage for some reason, NONE of that extra 300 damage reaches you.
It just makes your bubble go POP π«§ π
oh right nice
Yeah I can sympathise with that π
so what difficulty did you do ashlands on sildar?
Normal
cool. maybe ill go back to normal after trying some of your tactics.. will see
Died twice due to my own hubris getting the best of me π
But otherwise itβs been a really chilled experience - mostly due to my excessive planning to avoid death π
Yeah this normally happens to me π π€£π
i feel like most of my deaths are also because of me (tho that wont stop me from blaming anything else π )
LoL Asatru π
But we kinda expect that from youβ¦
You are called the βPuncher of Drakesβ for a reason π
π
500 at 60 skill --> 200 + 5 per level
550 at 70
puncher of drakes lolz
Also good to mention is any stagger will just work.
indeed, they must be punched π€
how many fortress you guys found?
2 so far. i did the first one on normal with magic weapons but then the second one was heaps harder so i put it down to very easy
destroy ballistas on the corner with fire staff, build ladder up, run around to corners and destroy the spawn things jump off go back up run around firing fire balls down into it jump off repeat
Good night
gn
first one i found i just opened the gate with no second thought and got overrun pretty quickly
havent found another one yet though
the new thing
Seige engine
you can just put up dirt to close it
oh right
its what I did to keep the enemies inside at first ha
nice yeh.
The nice thing about completely clearing them out, is the fact that not may things can damage the walls, so building inside is a safer way to go about making a permit base.
i turned it into a base but with all the lava surrounding it, the position is not all that useful
yes nevyn
can build paths through lava if you have too much flametal ^^
Hey guys! I was trying to post a suggestion in the suggestion channel but I don't see the messages I typed out. Did I do something wrong or is there something I have to do before I can chat?
I see the 5 minute timer, but I don't see my post? π€ What did I do wrong lol
Start with reading the pins.
Everything is explained there.
||Did you use the π‘ ?||
I don't think so? I'll look again. I checked the server rules but didn't see anything haha. Didn't think to check the pins
Got any grapes bam bam bamπ΅
EVERYONE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME AND MY FRIEND RESCUE HIS LOOT IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAVA AND WE NEWED HELP TO DEFEAT MOBS
i beg you guys to help us we would be very gratefull
Ok but what about deleting wolves from the game?
Iβd check with the body recovery squad
i did but noone is asnwering
You joined their server?
Yeah join the discord channel and go ask there for help.
alright thanks would umind saying the name of it?
Flametal is overly abundant - will that be balanced?
Not complaining but it seems rather easy to gather stacks and stacks

Itβs a finite amount tho
I've literally never seen anyone else say this.
haha no it isn't
Wdym no it isnβt. The lavaiathans donβt respawn
Fishing makes all metals infinite I think
eh?
The rocks you mine donβt come back
Technically it's "infinite" if you count fishing, but there's a bug with that currently. Realistically it's not, the rate from fishing is too low.
How
Considering how inefficient that must be, I wouldn't even count it
ok, I've crafting every weapon and armor in ashlands and upgraded it as much as I can.
I have still have two full black metal box full and only explore 20% of Ashlands
I get 36 Flametal from rocks and however many from forts (done about 6 - 7 so far)
Solo and multiplayer resources will be in demand differently.
Just because you have a lot doesnβt mean itβs infinite
out of all the biomes I find flametal to be the most abundant and easy to get so far
Every world has a limited amount of it.
who said it was infinite?
Spawn flametal 300 would like to have a word with you :p
You?
no I didn't π
Yeah, you did.
read read read
As if they weren't OP enough...
I never said infinite of finite.
I said flametal is finite. You replied no it isnβt
You denied something was finite. There's only one alternative.
No?
If you disagree something is finite then you're saying it's infinite.
No I didn't
Bro is trolling
You can't seem to read
Flametal can run out in a single world. There is a limited amount of fortresses and lavaiathans
Resources are randomly generated. Some people will end up with many, others will have barely enough to get by. According to most reports it appears you have been very, very lucky
Yea, maybe! I see flametal rocks everywhere
Here
This comment you made replying to me saying itβs finite
Regardless of amount, it's still finite.
Black metal is infinite because it comes from frequently respawning enemies. Copper is not because deposits and copper pieces are limited
I think you're mixed up in semantics too much and you don't actually read what I wrote
Even if there's a massive amount of copper in a single world because of how frequent those sources are
I think you donβt know what you wrote
Why don't you just clarify what you meant to say?
I wrote "abundant"
That means lots and lots
U disagreed with the statement of finite. Bro
in other words, more than you will never need and then some
You replied to someone saying it was finite, saying that's untrue. If it was untrue that means it's infinite.
This is logic 101.
You might've meant something else, so clarify that now, but that's what you wrote in the reply whether you meant to or not.
bro I don't care about infinite vs infinite I never even brought that up and I no interesting in debate semantics π
same to you!
π infinite vs infinite
Meowdy
seems all you care about is arguing about words, so you're in the wrong place buddy
Dude you donβt even understand the argument. Infinite vs Finite
I don't give shit xD
Arguments use words and when you donβt understand what they mean
There seems to be some....
||Discord in here|| π₯
U have no grounds to be right
you're the only one trying to be right but there's no one here that cares π
I had 4 people back me up lol
I slept poorly and am still in bed so I'm in a poor place to comprehend what's going on right now
Flametal is abundant in my world and apparently not in others.
How did you get me into a debate about semantics?
At this point, just don't feed the troll
I have this a lot with iron and certain seeds having swamps with lots of it and other seeds having swamps with none, so I kinda imagine the same thing happens with flametal
Again still doesnβt understand what the convo was about. Not disagreeing it is abundant. Cause it is. I said it was finite responding to someoneβs question and you said itβs not finite. The definition of finite is limited or not infinite. So we agree on the same thing but u donβt understand the definition of Finite
what does stating the finality of Flametal have anything to do with what I said?
Nothing....absolutely NOTHING. Just another troll trying to start an argument
exactly my point...you only care about arguing semantics, why are you even here bro
This is like a playground argument where someone just needs to be told theyβre right or it wonβt stop
Like where is the mod π
Lmao true
kinda feeling like it
Idk itβs funny to me
Semantics is somewhat different to saying A and then claiming you said B.
Appreciate the backup Derek, I will let this go so we stop arguing in circles
this horse is going back to bed
I think you both like arguing too much about nothing π
I think you need to go back to 3rd grade
that sounds like a playground insult that tells me you age
Lmao, honestly Iβm trolling now cause u definitely are getting heated about this
any time some attack other person intellect you know they're trolling
Not true but okay
you started an argument for no reason and now through insults...do you even play valheim
I mean you thought Finality and Finite were the same thing
Yo troll, we're you trying to hold the position that you have a lot of flametal but a lack of use for said material? I'm just trying to translate your bullshit to english
why you even here?
You forgot the are in why are you even here
another kid throwing insults, welcome to the party
Just move on
See everyone, your wasting your time with this guy.
There will be a bright day tommorow
@sharp stone do you see that you havenβt had one person back you up on this
βοΈ
@bronze holly dude, this guy is the casino. The only way to win is not to play. Stop
I'm on both sides
Lmao true
At this point itβs just some weird attempt to bully another
His only comment had nothing to do with what I said and it sounded like a contradiction with I disagreed with now he can't let it go π
bullying is funny when they are playground insults at grammar and english, then you know its on π
Friendly reminder that DMing modmail to report misbehaviour exists
Will do ππ»
yea, definitely should report people for insulting me
Love love love β€οΈ
Those emoj make you feel better about bully people because its not words?
So pathetic.
Bro let it go.
go back to bully school and learn some new tricks
The audacity of saying let it go after saying how youβre not letting it go just to troll
How are you letting emojis piss you off like this
let what go? you're the one who got everyone against me because you thought I disagreed with you π
It's actually funny to me. Are you all American?
Honestly if this doesnβt turn into an enemies to lovers with a kiss at the end Iβll be disappointed
Same
What does all American have to do with anything
WTF does nationality have to do with anything?
It does sound like a pretty American thing to do if you take it out of context though
Have everyone been enyoying the latest update then?
Iβd be down
Iβm struggling to get the latest update
Wdym?
So little time to play
I feel that
Do I feed my kid today or do I play a game? Itβs hard to decide how to spend the time
Ahhh yeah
I disagreed with a comment that had nothing to do with what I said and instead of trying to clarify he got EVERYONE against me and started an semantic argument.
Tell me that doesn't sound like an American high school thing to do?
Brother move on. No one cares anymore
I wouldn't know, I've never seen one.
they did when you started ganging up on me about words...how sad is that
Well ganging up on people is not appropriate, but I feel like the road ahead is clear to move on.
hey, this guy didn't understand my comment that had nothing to do with what he said. Lets rip into him about his grammar and english and make him think it's HIS problem
True, instead, it's better to not do it and, more importantly, not feed the obvious troll
Wisely said
Settle down, y'all
I started trolling after he started saying Highschool bully and all American
purses at dawn fr xD
@modest moth I just put your name and icon together
the worse thing to do if you have a misunderstand about what someone said is make them think they're stupid because they didn't understand what you meant
Funny thing is everyone joined in. Hope you're proud of yourself
Take a shot everytime this lèche-sol says "semantic"
I'm drunk already
Dude. Itβs over. I was not trying to get people to hate you or anything. We had a discussion is spiraled out of control. Just drop it and move on. No disrespect from me here
semantic is the word of the day. It means word on words on words π
Getting anti semantic up in here
π
That's exactly what you did though and it had nothing to do with Flametal or the abundance of resources or Valheim, just another word game where someone wanted to be a winner of a made up argument.
What that I said in that prompted you to continue the argument
There's really no reason to keep stoking the fire, folks
Just let it go.
I agree
Let's not do that
What were we talking about? Oh yeah! Flametal is SUPER abundant, there's a rock formation of Flametal everywhere I look at lava.
I get 36 each time alone...which is pretty coool
facepalm
What?
36 really isn't much
I love the Lavaiathans mechanic tho. And the basalt bombs
Kianu I might of heard of
sure, for single player it is fine and you will probably not need to mine all flametal thats in your world
If you want flametal gate that's 32
with Flametal armor and ash cape you can jump around in lava and survive pretty well
Don't even need basalt bombs anymore
i want to see you standing in lava and mining away XD
nah, you have to keep jumping, its pretty dangerous but do-able
once the rock goes down its time to jump. Make sure you're not over cucumbered
Based
just making the pillars respawn would be infinitely helpful
If
Keyword
Also after you have all the gear you need/want, there's little use for more flametal so might as well start using it for other stuff, such as that very expensive gate
if it's the last metal it will probably see more use in the next biome
Hopefully not...
idk why i get so itchy when fighting a boss in elden ring or sekiro
More iron
What you did, I see it.
Only if it's for some stuff but not everything...
you mean the Flametal rock pillars?
Tbh, I don't care if we get more uses for metals as long as we get reliable sources of said metals.
I wish for a renewable source of iron for example, or earliest metals in general
There are so many Flametal rocks I feels like the do respawn
they sadly don't
headcanon is a thing
I see them all the time in lava and I say "I swear I did that one already"
Maybe I'm just lucky
Oozers can drop scrap...there's also so many crypts I don't forsee it ever running dry
you have map pins for a reason π
Similar to what I said above regarding flametal, if the source itself is extremely inefficient, it shouldn't be counted.
I know about the "technically" part, but still
like getting it from fishing
that would def overpopulate my map and tbh they are so common I don't feel the need
Its similar with one of the my dark forest areas, just littered with copper nodes everywhere
After sinking all the lavaiathans in a single pool, little turtles that drop flametal should crawl around the edges. Maybe they explode when you kill them or something π
there are turtles?
At that point all the other metals should respawn
No, there aren't. I'm suggesting it. That's what I meant by "should", not that it's a game mechanic.
Turtle armor plz
Anxious
do other metals disappear into lava never to be seen again? xD
I took the new portal to a mountain and filled up on silver because...my silver box was empty but I didn't need silver I just wanted to do it xD
Yea I wish there were some more uses for silver. Even just decorative
yeah probably, it's so annoying especially when in the middle of the fight, u get random itch and you'll see ur character lying
I have tons and tons of destroyed fuling camps where I left 30-40 black metal..that's my next trip
I hate leaving stuff behind
Silver arrows doing spirit damage might be OK for Ashland? Unfortunately no silver bolts
How they disappear doesnt matter
Spine snap already does spirit damage, I think you'd be better served with a higher pierce damage arrow
frost arrows are OP in Ashlands so now I have to go drake hunting which is a pain
they aren't ever available to the player again once they are gone
that's a unique trait of Flametal only
just punch the flying rats π
I had so many freeze glands before I decided to make a buttload of eyescream
Wish I saved some now for frost arrows
yes there's Chitin but that isn't a metal and has far less uses to be concerned over the amount available
Fr chitin needs more uses
that's the fun part...the annoying part is there's isn't enough of them spawning lol
Might need a taller mountain
yea, I need a bigger boat
The new bow does lightening, spirit and with frost arrow its an ok upgrade from spine snap
Although not a big one at level 4
-Me about to "mine" more flametal from smol turtles (I need to collect every single flametal gear)
i think if they exploded ppl would shoot them with arrows or magic
Hey, does anyone know if there is a 5th upgrade for gauldr table just like the black forge?
there's not
Ah man
Was thinking what if we had an arena place,
You find Dvergr portal and it takes you to a fighting zone where you just fight random monsters as you try to survive the waves and if you win you get gold or items, its to entertain the gods and Dvergr and your self would be fun to choose how fast and hard the arena will get
That's literally just Ashlands
Ashlands is too easy though
Need help.. new player⦠I built my 1st raft but it starts breaking each time I try to use it⦠in in open water.
On Xbox also
Waves break it, touching rocks or the shallow water where you can hit the ground as well
You canβt sail without taking damage in this game though so small amounts are fine
So build a dock out?
what i mean is the monster are more deadly and faster and they are random type
Just start sailing the damage is negligible and you can always throw a workbench down and repair it while sailing if youβre close to the coast or a rock
Hard to say why youβre taking damage without seeing where the raft is placed but it should just be fine to sail
just got the game and in one session logged 5 hours...
That's still essentially just Ashlands... but on very hard
You can build an arena there and literally just let wild spawns approach you and would accomplish pretty much the same thing
this game is suprisingly fun as hell
Wait till you get to the fun biomes
Youβre only scratching the surface
Did you beat the first boss?
oh i only just was able to start killing the big deer guys
Ah sweeeeet
ran into a troll just now and realised i was unequiped asf
1 hit and he got rid of 90% if my health ran for the hills and a skeleton sniped me whilst i was drinking water irl
Bows make them too easy to kill but you can roll an kill them with about anything once you learn how slow the swings are
it was like so far from my house too!
i just got stuck on a rock
Omg I just realized youβre the king from overcooked. Iβm sorry to let Kevin down but that second game was so hard
Itβs my first time on one but moving at all causes large bangs and camera shakes ..
Very small creeks are the biggest reason I die to trolls
? oh this pfp is just random pfp
Just a tiny bit of water and boom dead
Yes and no what i mean is like more way of lore type for the game like remember the Hildir. update some people where mad but honestly that was a kinda cool update more stuff to do more exploration more in game content to enjoy.
This is what i mean but if its still dosent explain what i said just tell me cause i somtimes not good at explaining stuff
Heβs the king of the kingdom you save in both overcooked games
took me so long to get to fire arrows, like 4 hours
yeah i remember now, that game is rage bait!
Just fyi fire arrows arenβt much better for trolls since trolls take bonus pierce damage it about evens out with the fire
I absolutely love that game but no one will play without having a meltdown
damn, it worked pretty good on the deer guy i think
Itβs more fun when itβs an arena with set waves of enemies and with a definitive end
Kill counter or something
Now that you mention Hildir and Ashlands adds a mini boss that is not connected to her.
I can see this being a possibility for Deep North. Instead of a mini boss, it would be a special dungeon where you're challenged with waves of enemies every time you make some kind of offer
how much more is there for me to discover? like alot alot or just like the usual progression of survival games
Youβre in the 2nd biome of 6 current with 7 being developed
YES THIS IS IT this could be soo cool
Each biome takes longer than the last basically
7 more or like 7 in total?
Total
fair enough, the weapons get cooler?
For him yeah itβs great
Oh by a lot, I donβt want to spoil to much but there is magic etc
You can make a hammer right now that an aoe effect
Like a shockwave
yeah i get that from the fact i put a severed deer head on a metal hook with a bunch of cult like writing everywhere haha
and then was able to run for longer
the controls are perfect imo
They do feel smooth to me
if only roads/paths gave a run boost
do they?
sadly not
damn
but they have put more of those bonuses into the armor, so it's a way of doing it
fair
how come no new pickaxe since plains?
There is new one in mistlands tho?
The blackmetal one
that is clearly old, older then valheim!
that's plains isn't it
No? Plains is another different biome, is it not and older then Mistlands?
You need yggdrasil Wood for it, meaning Its from mistlands, tho it Is pretty easy to get, that much Is true π
Progression Is meadows, black forest, swamp, mountains, plains, mistlands and ashlands currently
I forgot that the black metal pickaxe was release with mistlands and requires magic wood π
any ashlanders
I have cleared most of the ashlands on my server. Still need to kill the new boss though. Did you need help with something?
no, no, just asking : D
I think tonight I'm going to take a stab at taming some askvin
Ive tamed 1 stars so far. Still looking to catch the elusive 2 star. Every time I see one im busy being swarmed by a ton of other stuff and I have to kill it. If you've tamed wolves before its pretty much the same concept but the breeding process is easier since they lay eggs.
mb someone knows an analogue for this mod https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/Menthus/Weightless_Coins/
Last updated 3 years ago seems to old
But mb it works fine?
Yeah, I've been trying to figure out whether to portal a bunch of black marble or make earthen walls
you'll have better luck in #mods-discussion
For all the server hosts out there, what Valheim Server Hosting do you use?

I use imperiumhosting, I can dm you their server invite if you want to talk with their president
Every time I see a 2 star, I die 10 seconds after because of said 2 star
steam works for me....though, i did get a warning that steam cloud was unavailable atm when I started Valheim up.
Darn, i spent the past few hours looking for that pesky two star. Haven't found it yet.
I use HostHatch
I am rellativily new to valheim and i died while fighting the elder and i didnt put a portal on the island where hes located
and now i don't know what to do because i am not sure if he is still there
afaik, the bosses dont despawn. they may regain HP if you take a long time, but I died a lot fighting Modor (mountain boss) and it was still there with missing HP every time I went back.
ok but i still have to rebuild my boat which will suck and hope i dont have trolls chasing me on the way back
good luck and my Odin guide your trip.
i will be back with some more info
im gonna try that later the forest started moving and i have nothing
Itβs a good idea at this stage to make a backup troll armour set
i do have a backup set of that but i have too many chests to look through and i hope i get the right one soob
*soon
How does one spawn a charred warrior I Wana have some fun with them
Spawn Charred_Melee 1
Ah
Pause wat
hey guys if i want to play with more people can i do it
sure thing, try to chat with some folks in the voice channels or write a post in #1024264966712340510
Hi everybody ! I have a question , I play Valheim from start and I discover a " Odin cape " from Dlc .. in Valheim wiki .. there is a way for acquiring the cape with a dlc or something ? Even buyable way.
No way to get Odin cape
Okay , thank you for the answer
the cape was aclosed beta testing thing and is no longer available and no other DLC exist as of right now
I donβt consider Odin cape as dlc tbh
Unless the one who has it HAD to download content correlating to it upon getting the code thing
If the cape is already in the game, requiring no additional download, well you downloaded it with the base game as a main item. But itβll only show to those who unlocked it
DLCs are optional, but if itβs with the main game, itβs not exactly DLC
Yes, Iβm a nitpick 
I understand, thank you for the details .
Its more of a additional content or reward but dlc was just easier to say and understand
Thatβs a good one
I've use the DLC term because it's an additional content , but in fact it's not the good appellation
Have a nice day everyone π or night ^^
Haha
A giant doging your poisoned arrows is extra levels of fuck you energy
Even while you cant be seen by them
Thalmor executioners are now running from me!
Lets gooooo!
Hi comunity, short and simple question. Is the wet debuff still a good thing to defeat Yagluth? The altar is very close to the ocean and i prepared a huge arena to get the wet debuff all the time.
It should put out the fire, so yes? Maybe? I am not really sure since i never tried that but it could work π If you already prepared the area you can try it out π
Well now I can say that I can kill mosquitoes even asleep. Woke up with a blood splatter on back of my hand and a flat mosquito. Poor fella got too greedy and must have caused itch while I was asleep, causing an automatic reaction.
try that with deathsquitos
Hey, I would like to join the Valheim translation community. I've asked about this on here before too, and someone recommended I message the discord mods via modmail. This didn't work out though. Does anyone know who I should reach out to and how?
Is the Trollstav upgrade bugged? I can already summon two and the upgrade seems to do nothing
Send an email to contact@irongatestudio.se
is anyone have the crashing glitch whenever you load up a world? (PC)
thanks, will do!
You should be able to summon three, but you have to summon the third one almost immediately after summoning the second one.
But yeah, the Trollstav is kinda weird like that.
More details would help. Are you getting a warning that the game as stopped and to wait or close?
If you are, just wait. The first loading of ashlands into a world takes up to 10 minutes (5 average) .
do someone know if is there a way to stop fallen valkiries from spawning over forteress? ive maked my ashland base in one but it keep destroying my thing lol
They are a mob like any other. Covering a large area with campfires or workbenches should work.
i will try
Is anyone willing to join my world to assist me in fighting the elder
Are hashtags not allowed? Got timed out for using 2 on a screenshot. I did have a space between the words and symbol. π§

ok
How can you make voice channels on this server?
Voice channels are made already, all you need to do is join one 
what about the Meadow's Glade, Neck's Pond and Eikthyr's Altar?
they're not always there
They might be "hidden" if you don't see them.
They should be, perhaps you have the voice channel category collapsed
oh yeah I had the channel hidden

I see you guys updated the soundrack π€©
THANK YOU! π₯³
"yes"
Speaking of game audio, going from the standard meadows music to the "there once was something here" music (like when you find abandoned buildings/farms) is a nice little quark.
From meadow to blackforest to plains and then mistland feels like I'm missing something important
π
I wonder what that could be? π
I Know it the swamp but damn doing that alone feels harder then killing a few Goblins
which are the 2
Nobody would miss the swamp π€£
Swamp / mountain
im right next to the Mountain. / snow biome didnt think of that as a biome
Yeah mountains have to be decently tall to count
do they need the dungeon ?
Howdy Hooper
Automod saw it as you attempting to use text markup. Which is not allowed

So many mountains have to deal with the 'swipe left' cutlure π
anyone willing to join me and my friend mid queen fight?
I'm a monarchist. Sorry, I can't help you.
Nah
LoL π
Still my favourite biome past the mistlands
or we can Just Kill them befor they can Kill our queen ?
Mountains are great. Entirely unassailable in the beginning; hinting at short-cuts when you advance to leather... then smack you down being stun-locked by a wolf just when your stamina runs out.
I cut through the mountains a lot though. In most of my worlds they're like small strips of land, especially near the spawn point.
Maybe I just got lucky not running into wolves or other such troubles.
Good afternoon
I look back at the games i have played when i was a child and could barely understand what i was doing other than shooting or doing βstuffβ to just progress in game and kind of regret playing some of the games at that age
Some of those games had lore, that had to be understood instead of just shooting up npcs with fancy guns and stealing cars or whatsoever
Iβd be lying if i said that i dedicate my time to fully learn the lore of the game that im currently playing rn but at least im not completely being oblivious on consequences my decisions would have in future gameplays when having in game dialogues with npcs
Im playing skyrim and oblivion, theres too much going on and Honestly if i had to sit down and learn its lore im pretty sure it would take hours for me lol, but i still feel responsible to always get to know everything in those games
I made a Valheim edit, y'all wanna see it?
am replaying skyrim rtn just cause i had a random urge to play it again and dozens ofhours alter am still playing, and very much ignoring the main quest
Do you read books? There are so many books full of lore that i just shrug off as if they didnβt existed at all in game
And i feel guilty
not really reading them as i find them but am collecting each and everyone for my library i built at lakeview
literally me 2 nights ago
Interesting. I'll try to keep that in mind.
yes..
please don't try to do this :/
i turned my teddy bear into a sticker, anyone wanna see?
I think a general QoL update between this one and the next major update would be REALLY well received
anyone know why i cannot find the smouldering tomb?
i've ben looking all around the ? and couldnt find it
If you used hildirβs table before ashlands, you need to remove the markers and use the table again
so its says map location already added. I added 1 or 2 more ? but the one i was searching for is still there on the map
Maybe it is there. Was your minimap zoomed out?
i havce discovered all the black forest biome where the ? is i even was at the point of digging to find it lol
can i show a picture somewhere
Good midnight everyone π

It I've already been shot down by so many ppl in the other chat so I take it back
I meant, I will avoid using hashtags in the future. I don't want to run afoul of the system. I don't know coding enough to know what markup meant till I looked into the term, and even then, I have no will to try. Sorry if my poor choice in wording caused a scare.

Hello everyone
Next biom Iceland ?
greenland actually
is the new ashwood floor pieces resistant to rain degradation, the wiki is saying its meant to be but mine still takes damage
do u think the magic in Valheim comes from soft tissue or sap of the Great Tree?
the stone is marked with a lore that "The Dvergr are the descendants of the great smiths of old, delvers in the deep earth, seekers of hidden treasure.Here in Valheim they mine the bones of the Jotunn and distill eitr, the stuff of magic".
but the Yggdrasil Porridge can also offer eitr to player
sap is basically coal in the refinery
it's the soft tissue that gets crushed and distilled
I think magic (digested eitr) is sourced from the great tree, but something in the bodies of Jotunn allows eitr to be digested and metabolised (in very small concentrations), and distilled into refined eitr (in very high concentrations). My theory lies in the prevalence of fungi around the mistlands, and their role in real ecosystems as nutrient recyclers, and sometimes as symbiotes with trees. I believe the fungi in the mistlands are symbiotic to yggdrasil shoots and the great tree itself, but also work to decompose Jotunn bodies. Breaking down Jotunn tissue probably allows their nutrients (and their weird eitr metabolism chemical) to return to the tree. I think then that seekers consume these fungi at some point during their lifestyle, probably during their larval stage, as we can derive digestible eitr from both magecaps and seeker royal jelly.
Rather than using the safe-to-eat very low concentration Jotunn enzyme, we (like the dvergr) can mine it directly from the bodies and grind it up. boiling it with the sap can allow eitr to be distilled and refined with the refinery.
Silly Headcanon with no real proof, but it does account for everything pre-ashlands (except fuling magic), and was a fun thought experiment
Mind you - the eitr refiner DOES take sap directly into the burner, rather than directly mixing it with the tissue. Maybe then my theory fits if the Eitr digesting enzyme comes from the great tree, and is dissolved throughout the mistlands ecosystem through symbiotic fungi, and the eitr itself is found in the soft tissue, as the MeowMechanic and Cid suggest
the whole food circle with Mistlands and the Jotun checks as plausible
residual magic could be contained in the sap as well it being used for burning purposes
that would check out, yeah
maybe by that logic, the sap in the refiner was mainly chosen for its burning temperature?
(awfully wasteful when there are other abundant fuel sources imo but at least it gives sap more kudos than coal mk2)
I presume then that there's more to sap than just its energy density. Maybe it holds a flame more consistently than coal or timber? something that may be integral to precise extraction of eitr from the tissue?
or maybe it just works differently in raw form than using it to refine?
hmm. That would certainly make sense.
Makes me think about what you said about it being wasteful though. Sap from the great tree is not easy to get by any standards, and the dvergr seem very protective of their collection tools.
that said the roots are everywhere, and they do regen, albeit slowly, so it's not as limited/precious as the dverger might have us believe
an optional fuel source would be nice? for the refineries, but i think it's fine as is, as long as you don't look too far into it xD
maybe you'd concentrate crude sap into a biofuel?
i dont think biofuel was a thing in those times?
think it was more of A this burns we can make fire with it and cook food
that's true. I feel like if sap was turned into a biofuel, they'd need a bit of experimentation first - and the dvergr would probably have found out first, with their weird machines and all. The vikings probably wouldn't have called it a biofuel tho - as you say
but (and this is hypothetical) if the vikings had a weird sap from something said to be energetic, I'm sure they'd try things like boiling or straining it to make that energy usable.
seems like its use in porridge makes it OP in that form, maybe it's the way that's cooked that gives such a big eitr boost, or maybe the royal jelly has magical properties?
Hmmm. Could be both. eitr from raw foods seems pretty poor overall, and it seems high eitr foods have a jelly like consistency. It's plausible that royal jelly has properties which make the resulting foods very eitr rich. Whatever that trait is probably exists in magecaps too to a lesser extent, and cooking seems to enhance it both times.
with regards to cooking it, low and slow seems to be the way to go - using fermentation and distilling to really bring the eitr out in the form of a mead, or simmering the brood jelly with seeker meat and magecaps to make the aspics. Porridge is also simmered, I imagine
theres also a piece of lore I cant understand. "Here lie the Jotunn, most ancient of all Odin's kin and fiercest of all his adversaries. In life they were bringers of ruin but now, in death, they nurture new growth." how does the Jotunn nurture new growth? is it related to his soft tissue?
I presume so yeah. A bit like whalefall in an abbysopelagic ecosystem - they provide vast amounts of energy to the food web through their death. Everything I presume makes use of the nutrition in soft tissue as the bodies of Jotunn are stripped bare to the bone in all the skeletons we find, and the only soft tissue available that's not been touched is protected in the skull, so I assume something's making use of it. The roots of the great tree are also plentifully seen at surface level here, and it shoots too, so I can only assume the tree is making use of it all as well.
but in an indirect sense, maybe the Dvergr (and by extension OUR) use of the soft tissue is the 'new growth', though its a bit of a stretch
Those yggdrassil roots don't grow on their own
In real life, trees can use chemosensory (chemical sensing) structures in their roots to direct growth in ways which optimise nutrient uptake. I can only assume the great tree can as well, directing more root growth in this area where the Jotunn fell to slowly gather their nutrients from the ecosystem
Life always returns to the great tree eventually
so, their relation is that the soft tissue nurtures the Great Tree, and the dvergers use the soft tissue as a fuel or catalyst to distill the magical energy from the sap?
I'd say so yeah. Of course its all speculation, as speculation about lore rarely gets confirmation. The great tree, and most of all life in the mistlands benefits from the sugars, fats, minerals, and magical energies of the Jotunn either directly or indirectly, and that encourages new growth.
the Dvergr also make structures from Jotunn bones (black marble)
π quite fascinating
There's probably magical forces at play which we can't understand, given the nature of a fantasy game, but as far as I can see most of it has a real-world parallel in one way or another
do look up whalefall, and the role microbes and fungi play in nutrient cycling - might find that cool too
closest would probably be burning dried poop π€
This poop be burning well
What to call it
Actualy how well was biology even known at that time
Or was it more of a this dry poop burns like wood
Maybe it can be used in emergency?
they always had charcoal, and coke was used by the chinese from between the 9th and 11th centuries CE which lines up with when the Vikings were most prevalent. also Peat was used for fuel in europe since the middle ages.
I was just reading that actually lol
Seems the dry dung fuel was reasonably effective for creating high temperatures cheaply. Only downside was the 'pollution' it caused
Seems that dung was mainly used for fuel to reduce need for wood, which you'd need to gather, chop, treat/dry etc. Dung was much more available and easier to prepare, if a bit less efficient
When a consistent fire is the difference between making it through winter and starving/freezing, makes sense people would resort to burning whatever they could
Wh...why would that even be a gif?
