general

[ashen marsh]

I would like them better if the dude didn't reverse grip them and only use half the range lol

[timid inlet]

i dont even remember why i did leave using them they are quite good tho in early game

[burnt leaf]

the first weapon i tend to use a lot is the flint knife, with a wooden club as backup for stuff that resists pierce and slash, i upgrade the knife to the abyssal razor but actually skip the bronze mace and sometimes the iron one too.
frostner and the crystal battleaxe are weapons i always make because i have no trouble mining more silver than i could ever need, but knives kinda get left in the dust there on my playthroughs, past that it's all atgeirs and eventually the berserkr axes

i probably will still use frostner on future ashlands landings because while it is slow as heck at killing ashlands enemies, it is also safe as heck, low effort

[timid inlet]

as i remember in my first playthrough i used
a spear an axe and long bone shield i dont know its name in english

[ashen marsh]

yeah I also like knives early game, skol and hati in the mistlands are pretty fun too

[timid inlet]

then my friend died in swamp and never played again ;/

then i started a new world and used Clubs bucklers axes and Atgeirs then they becamed my mains

[burnt leaf]

i used to also make the silver sword, black metal sword and mistwalker but now that the stabroll's been patched out, idk if i can touch swords again.
it was a busted exploit but damn if it wasn't fun to use TvT

[ashen marsh]

people lose a lot of momentum when they die in survival games from my experience

[timid inlet]

but i had many playthrough i have played all the weapons except magic staffs and huntsman bow
bow quite good i just dont wanna spend iron on bow

[timid inlet]

Nooooooooooooooo did it patched i didnt know

[frosty walrus]

silver sword is so good in ashlands

[burnt leaf]

are we talking about the same thing because i'm pretty sure that was a while ago

[burnt leaf]

i did use it for a bit yea, and i don't doubt swords are just great, it's just not the flavour of great i enjoy haha :>
-# still salty about the lack of MTP

[timid inlet]

is there a reason to use silver sword and not mistwalker ?

[burnt leaf]

lower stamina cost

[ashen marsh]

ashlands really gave spirit damage a place to shine

[frosty walrus]

it deals more damage to charred and valkyries and also has a lower stamina cost

[burnt leaf]

oh more damage too? neat

[frosty walrus]

mistwalker is very good for morgens, better than silver sword for asksvins and voltures and still good for everything else

[timid inlet]

a low stamina is a nice thing i can understand but i feel like its near imposible HOW

more damage * per hit ?

[frosty walrus]

charred and valkyries take 150% spirit damage, silver sword has very high spirit damage

[ashen marsh]

yeah mistwalker has barely any spirit damage

[burnt leaf]

the silver sword is one of the only "elemental" weapons that was balanced before early access release, so its numbers were decided a bit...different from how they balance stuff now (read: it's a bit wild compared to newer weapons but honestly i think it's better that way, some of the newer elemental weapons just suck)

[storm anchor]

45 spirit in one sword, holy smokes.

Crystal battleaxe has only 30.

[burnt leaf]

yepp

[ashen marsh]

really makes you understand why it's so expensive to make and upgrade lol

[timid inlet]

i am not using swords until mistlands so i totaly missed it

[frosty walrus]

it's also great for yagluth

[burnt leaf]

"if a damage type isn't instant and only affects a small group of enemies, why hold back on the amount?" is a reasonable way to balance a weapon like that, but they seem to have changed their minds about it since
granted, the silver sword was also balanced before H&H, back when spirit damage didn't stack, that probably also influenced how much spirit it has. the knife and battleaxe were both added with H&H

[timid inlet]

i am usauly using the wooden club not until swamp but usualy until bonemass :p then switching to frostner as fast i can

i think i totaly missed silver sword

[storm anchor]

Ah, so spirit damage was another poison damage back then?

[burnt leaf]

fire too, there was no stacking DoT at all

[storm anchor]

So all of them were just another poison damage back then.

[burnt leaf]

that's why it's such a big deal now that fire and spirit do stack, which might be confusing to newcomers because saying that as a positive thing makes it sound like those damage types are mechanically great, when "they stack" in reality just means that they're only slightly worse than physical damage types, unlike poison, which is significantly worse

[frosty walrus]

why would they change fire and spirit to stack but not poison too

[timid inlet]

Sprit do stack i am learning a lot of new thing damn

[storm anchor]

Yeah I know poison is sad casualty of left behind for any changes.

[burnt leaf]

come to think of it, it could be because they wanted to avoid rebalancing the biggest danger of the swamps, blobs would be a menace if their poison stacked.
-# do i agree with avoiding a change like this because you don't wanna bother fixing the ripple effects of that change? not necessarily, but it might be why it is the way it is haha

[storm anchor]

Well, poison would become quite non threat anyway due to poison resistance mead.

Very resistant modifier.

[scenic wing]

Poison is no threat at all if you just log out when you get poisoned 😎 🧀

[tulip mauve]

Yeah its definitely a preference thing

Spears are far from weak though, they have so many advantages

[tulip mauve]

I dunno, losing rested buff can be rough in a fight

[burnt leaf]

what fight i'm on the title screen

[timid inlet]

last time i checked there was some seekers and charred warriors tho

[burnt leaf]

they're chill

[frosty walrus]

when are we getting necks

[timid inlet]

i want a Giant Neck final boss in the end at the meadows

man this game have so many iconic creatures

Like nearly half of the forest faction is so iconic

Troll all greydwarfes necks even deers maybe

[frosty walrus]

noo that means we need to kill a neck

what if eikthyr gains a star for every neck killed

[timid inlet]

deathsquitos drakes even some bosses itself gjalls

[timid inlet]

i am ready to kill a 300 hundred starred eikthr

[timid inlet]

eikthyr*

[timid inlet]

it would be very fun if there was a very rare raid that spawn a 200 hundred NECKS

[frosty walrus]

whats fun about encouraging players to kill necks

[tranquil kernel]

I was inspecting the farms the other day, and one of the escaped chickens (I named her Magellan because she has explored the entire village) was pecking the ground next to a neck tail. She has embraced the Viking spirit!

[unkempt rampart]

well now we know why, a mountain tier weapon beating endgame weapons. I think they should remove or nerf spirit on both of them and make an ashlands spirit gem upgrade.

[frosty walrus]

only if some mistlands weapons get buffed to make up for not having a silver sword

otherwise I have to use a weapon that kills charred warriors slowly

1800 health is too much for a common enemy

[timid inlet]

btw i wish we could have friendeable with necks
not pets
a beast can not be slaved

[frosty walrus]

i want summonable necks 🪄

[timid inlet]

a neck staff

[frosty walrus]

yes

[timid inlet]

i am still asking for to undead deer raiser to became true

[frosty walrus]

and like a skeleton staff with archer/sword skeletons it would spawn some necks as mages

[timid inlet]

a fire breathing neck and a ice breathing neck what do you say ?

[frosty walrus]

regular necks with their own magic staffs and armor

[timid inlet]

#suggestions message

oww man he suggested whattt

[storm anchor]

It's always the neck cape.

[frosty walrus]

necks are always in water how would they even be good for a dry cape

[timid inlet]

btw the idea is interesting but not with the neck mannn

[storm anchor]

It's suggested many times before. And rejected as much.

[timid inlet]

for having waterproof like skins

[frosty walrus]

we can make capes from their grandparents already too

[timid inlet]

btw i wonder is there a any chance we get a immortal pet

[frosty walrus]

we have rocky

[burnt leaf]

we have fish

[frosty walrus]

leech trophy

[timid inlet]

i think not for the original game but a mod could be good

maybe there could be already a one

[burnt leaf]

i'm joking but they are like the most immortal thing in valheim right now, can throw em in a chest for 10 years and they'll still happily swim about as soon as they touch water again

[timid inlet]

i never take pets with me in any game

cant stand they are dying

[frosty walrus]

just don't let them

[timid inlet]

watching my good boy got slapped by a 2 star seeker solider

[frosty walrus]

you don't have enough good boys

[burnt leaf]

why are you taking him to a 2 star seeker soldier

[timid inlet]

man just i dont know playin this game %90 of the time solo just a companion could be nice

[storm anchor]

So he learns to hunt.

[burnt leaf]

that's fair, i was a solo only player for a while too

-# i guess i am used to isolation

[frosty walrus]

summon fader and use his fissure to fight everything else for you, most enemies won't even be able to damage him

[timid inlet]

not a main game implementation but a mod would be better for this

[timid inlet]

i dont think my base gonna love this idea

[timid inlet]

i think its not suits the game much

[burnt leaf]

-# i'm actually familiar with a mod that (among many other things) can spawn or edit entities to have functionally infinite HP in a way that doesn't conflict with vanilla code
-# some of the stuff i remember doing with that seems to also be possible with vanilla commands now judging by what blob's been doing, wonder if that's among that list

-# but i shall zip my beak before the channel police gets here :>

[tardy vale]

you're allowed to break some rules tho ^

[burnt leaf]

i don't like to abuse that haha

[tardy vale]

[timid inlet]

so i dont want a unbeateable thing but like munin and hugin he could vanish for a instance not so strong that feels like a walking around with a 2 star wolf in dark forest

[frosty walrus]

You can't change an enemies health with commands. The best I can do for an invincible creature is changing the regeneration speed. spawn boar Humanoid.m_regenAllHPTime::0.001 will make it regenerate instantly on every healing tick, but any attacks that deal enough damage can still kill it.

you could spawn it with a high level so there are less attacks that kill it instantly

[burnt leaf]

that's still something!~ thanks for testing!~

-# i have a field of immortal tamed necks somewhere, i should check on them sometime

[frosty walrus]

taming is also something I can't do with commands

[burnt leaf]

awwwwh, figured that'd work

[frosty walrus]

but you can change their ai to never aggro by effectively making them blind

that's the best I've been able to do

does anybody know when will they show deep north more i heard they will do it jan or am i wrong?

[scenic wing]

Good chance we’ll see some news this month I’d say- they often do monthly dev logs, but not last month due to holidays

[storm anchor]

Slight clarification, I don't think they have said it will be monthly tho, but usually has been delivered once per month except during Summer months and December.

[weak hill]

Last year they did December though

[scenic wing]

This year they decided not to it would seem 🙂

[storm anchor]

There hasn't been December this year yet...

But last month yeah.

[frosty walrus]

Hervor died and couldn’t record a video

[weak hill]

2023 and 2024 both years had a december dev blog

[scenic wing]

And 2025 they decided not to, nbd

[austere fox]

thank you

[storm anchor]

Could be possible, I don't remember.

[weak hill]

I like to speculate that when some games devs "miss out" on a specific dev blog or update teasers they are creating something big and surprise worthy dev blog 🙂

[scenic wing]

Could be the case! Perhaps we will see soon enough

[storm anchor]

Last month they left quite early for vacation.

[weak hill]

I have been waiting every day hoping that the notification from this server would come 🙂

[storm anchor]

But it's always nice to speculate, we'll see what the next post will bring.

[weak hill]

Yup, speculating keeps the imagination active 😄

[tardy vale]

in 2025 we didn't have much to show since the last post, and the vacation period spanned so wierdly that we basicly went on hollidays very early

hope that answer why not blodpost

[rough geode]

Any tamil players ??

guys is this game has i-frame ?? so i can escapes from attacks !!

[tulip mauve]

yup, rolling (hold right click press space) gives i frames

[rough geode]

ok bro thanks

[rough geode]

am new to game btw

[craggy holly]

yes dodge rolling is very powerful, also there is another invincibility window but its a spoiler, not sure if you discovered that mechanic yet (usually have to be quite a bit into the second biome)

[nova cave]

I’m all for getting rid of December anyway. By my calcs it’s a win-win.

[rough geode]

blackk forest ?? trolls ??

there is other ? ||Portals|| ?

Yes

[timid inlet]

i like bulgur pilaf with tomato sauce and butter and olive salad you could add some scrambled eggs or
mince next to it 😛

maybe you could try it

thats what i am currently eating btw

[unkempt rampart]

same, all I did was sleep, eat, and play terraria, I feel gross

[tranquil kernel]

At least you got some playtime in though

[mild moss]

I spent the weekend farming tar and black marble. Still need more marble

[umbral fog]

Again?

[main sonnet]

I guess so.

Looks like the auto-mod is having a lunchbreak, though.

Or, since it's a European company, most likely finishing dinner or having tea.

[timid inlet]

yeah marble is unmeaningly grindy i had the same problem

[mild moss]

Just wish it wasn’t just bones and dvergr buildings

[unkempt rampart]

I mean where did the dvergr get the marble to begin with? It wasnt the black rock in the mistlands? kinda sus...

[main sonnet]

It's petrified bone. So it's most likely they mined the old rib cages and skulls just as we do.

IMHO that might also explain why we find the occasional empty ancient armor. Because the Dvergr already mined the Black Marble from it.

[unkempt rampart]

Thats just a game mechanic, no way they would have used that over the surrounding abundance of stone, "I was thinking of building stone mine, but lets use this dead body instead" 😆

[frosty walrus]

the dead body is stronger than stone for building though

[main sonnet]

Just proofs that flesh is stronger than steel. Even after death. 😉

[unkempt rampart]

maybe, but there couldn't have been enough of it

[frosty walrus]

maybe there was before the dvergr collected them

to build with

[main sonnet]

Well, there's a lot of empty Ancient Armor lying around. So it's likely the bones near it were mined out before we got there.

I can't think of any other reason we find empty Ancient Armor.
Or Dvergr excavating a skull, but not a ribcage nearby.

[low depot]

Maybe the giants have been building with the remains of their dead for a long time and the dvergr just salvaged their ruins, as we do now with theirs

[inner pebble]

Hey, folks. Been a minute. Looking into getting back into Valheim but... man, the Ashlands is such a slog, it's just exhausting.

Are there any mods that kinda rebalance the Ashlands in such a way that it's less of a grind? I don't want to take out all the difficulty, I just want it to be more fun and less of a second job to get anywhere

[main sonnet]

There might be. But you'd better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 then.

On the other hand, are you destroying the standing stones? These spawn the Charred and removing them will at least make that part of the monster spawning a bit less.

[inner pebble]

Yeah, I understand most of the mechanics of the biome. I've been all through it, I've taken down several fortresses, I've killed valkyries and morgens and whatever else, I just haven't done Fader yet. Hell, I even forged the freakin' fire sword, Dyrnwyn or whatever it's called

I just think about doing all that again and... feh. Meh. Bleh. Exhausting. Like, I did it, I survived it, I played Ashlands on day one when the spawn rates were REALLY crazy, I just don't want to do it again unless I can take it down a notch

[main sonnet]

Spawn rates have been nerfed in the PTB. I dunno if you have been playing when that happened, so not sure whether or not you've experienced the "too easy" (according to some) Ashlands now.

Either way, the channel I pointed to is the place to look. And hopefully it'll help you liking the Ashlands.

[inner pebble]

When was that nerf? I remember the first spawn rate nerf, a few weeks after Ashlands came out

[main sonnet]

That was the nerf.

[storm anchor]

14th of May 2024 the Ashlands was released and 18th of June 27th of August was the update where the spawn rates were tweaked.
-# 18th of June was the PTB for that spawn tweak patch.

[inner pebble]

Right, right

Ashlands was still a huge hassle after that nerf, though.

Now, again, I did it. I slogged through it. I got up close to the point of killing Fader. Could have finished it but honestly I just wasn't having any fun. Too much slog, too bleak, didn't feel like an adventure anymore. Just a grind. Just a job.

Hence why I'm asking about mods.

[main sonnet]

Well, as said, https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might have your solution.

[inner pebble]

Yeah, I posted there.

[main sonnet]

So it's just a matter of waiting.
Considering you made it up to Fader, I don't think that'll be that hard. Or at least I hope it isn't. 🙂

[inner pebble]

Well, I'm probably going to start fresh when the new biome comes out

The whole game feels great up to the Ashlands. Meadows up to Plains is a smooth ramp-up of progression, and then Mistlands is a bit of a difficulty jump but not too bad, and then Ashlands is just a WALL of grind. Hence why I want to rebalance it.

It looks like the North Is going to be more chill, so that's cool

[tranquil kernel]

Ashlands is an active (if undead) warzone its supposed to be more than a little harrowing

[mild moss]

Making that first beach landing was so much screaming.. I mean, slight panic and lots of death, er hiding, er viking valor...

[inner pebble]

...meh. I'm not finding any mods for what I want

Fellas. I might just skip it. Play something else or something. I'm sorry, but Ashlands just completely breaks the pacing of this game.

It just stops being fun at Ashlands.

[tulip mauve]

I think Ashlands both had a spawn nerf and agro nerf, which were both fairly impactful

The agro one seemed to be more of a bug fix though, as burning trees would alert mobs same as if you were chopping down the trees

[inner pebble]

Yeah fine but I still have to seige like half a dozen fortresses and dance around two-star warriors (because taking them head-on just takes too much time) and I have to assemble nine bells and, and, and

It's too much. I'm telling you. It's too much slog.

I remember when I first got to the Plains, back before Mistlands was a thing

Getting one-shotted by a deathsquito

Terrifying. But really interesting! Then I figured out their pattern and when I had the trick of parrying that first attack, it was super easy to swat them

I worked out the rhythm of parries and strikes, got good at handling crowds of goblins

Even the boss fight was interesting, there was a sequence to it. Intimidating at first but then you figure out how to wear him down

The Plains felt like a culmination of everything I'd learned in the earlier biomes. Managing aggro, managing stamina, parry and strike, etc

Mistlands changed up everything because now the enemies not only hit hard enough to break your block unless you parry perfectly, but they also are able to move over the terrain way better than you can

Now stamina management is way harder, because the terrain itself is draining it

All of the weaknesses of the movement and combat systems are exploited by the biome, the timings of the attacks are set up to trip you up

BIG difficulty spike but you eventually get better gear and better food and you get way more cautious and cagey in a fight.

Mistlands was the first biome that would straight-up just kill the shit out of you, even if you've mastered it, because sometimes you just get caught in a bad spot by too many seekers.

Beautiful biome, cool concept, but punishing. Very punishing, especially at first.

The mystery of it drives you to keep exploring, though. I never rolled my eyes and said "man I'm sick of this biome" because even when it was hard, it was interesting, and there was a lot of really cool new stuff to unlock. I mean hell, MAGIC SYSTEM, freaking cool

Okay so punishing but good rewards. Would have liked a stamina rework to make the terrain a little less punishing, but it's fine.

Now Ashlands. Everything hits so hard that blocking is usually a bad idea, unless you have a huge health pool and an excellent shield, and even then...

Numbers of enemies, even after the nerf, are just too many. Especially when they can be so tough individually.

The fortresses can be worn down over time but every way I have of handling them feels cheesy

Ashlands is the first biome that feels like busywork, which I have to cheese to win

Dirt towers and sniping spawn buildings

Because I can't just drop into the middle of one and duke it out, that's very chancy. You end up kiting a huge crowd and dodging arrows. Even that feels cheesy.

I'm not a Viking warrior fighting an ancient war against the undead, I'm a gamer exploiting wonky AI to edge out a win.

THE FANTASY IS GONE at Ashlands.

So I grind through most of it, and then quit. Because what am I even doing here?

[inner pebble]

...and it looks like there aren't any rebalance mods to fix the Ashlands. Not that I can find in my searches so far. So... yeah, I might just be done with this game.

[gaunt ingot]

i'm not sure honestly what would make it feel better, but I have this same general "vibe" about Ashlands--I've gotten all the way to Fader altar and with the 9 bells collected, and (besides the boss fight) I've still got "taming a 2 star asksvin" and "the fire sword miniquest" on my "to do list" before personally considering the biome "beat" but I've stopped at that point months ago and been procrastinating with every conceivable task instead of diving back into hell again

[smoky scarab]

The thing I dislike about ashlands is that once you know what you are doing it is way too easy and quick to go through. Just get a few cores from putrid holes to unlock stone portals, mine a couple spire and instantly teleport the metal to smelt, get the battering ram to do a few fortress to get some gems for weapon upgrades and you will most likely get the boss location doing so and just run to the boss and kill it. Takes less than 4 hours from landing to get the best upgraded gear and weapon and finish the boss. It takes me so much longer to do the mistlands

[rugged stag]

That's your gameplay though

Food resources are also something to take into account before fighting bosses

[smoky scarab]

For many of the recipes you don't even need to add the cauldron upgrade so part of it is unlocked instantly and easy to get the rest you just get once you have metal

[gaunt ingot]

this is just totally an unvetted idea, but I wonder if it would be an improvement if the biome's BASE spawn rate was pretty low, and it actually felt pretty dead, except a few select areas maybe around fortresses and then the rest the spawning was mostly POIs that the biome started peppered with but you as player graudally of course can remove, and those POIs specifically consist of pairs of "warring camps" of charred where they are clearly demarcated by different banners/accent colors, hostile to each other but mutually the player, unable to damage the effigy spawners of either camp, so they'd be constantly pouring out enemies killing each other provided the player didn't get to close, and if they did of course they'd also potentially both target the player (the usual prioritizing AI scheme)--you'd have to manage tackling them strategically to clear the effigies from both 'camps' and stop the constant spawning; might make the biome pacing feel more manageable/player controlled, and perhaps thematically also convey a sense of "the player coming to an ancient and still raging battlefield" that maybe is the aesthetic they were going for

then in between those POIs, except around the fortresses/whatever selected areas, rates of charred are very low or near zero, rates for everything else is pretty low too, so you're most likely to just occasionally bump into a big baddies like the valks alone, or a pack of voltoure , but not "a fallen valkyrie, 2 asksvin, a half dozen charred, 2-3 lava blobs, and once you start fighting, the other half dozen charred in the area will start beelining to your position too"

[tardy vale]

not really no 🤔

if we would go into such details. you would get halflife 5 before valheim 1.0

[gaunt ingot]

lolololololollololol fair--totally me spitballing I'll admit with very little ability to appreciate what it would technically entail, or if it really would work out to be any better

or even much meaningfully different

[scenic wing]

I’m actually ok with the spawn rate, I find the Ashlands to be successfully chaotic. Like I mentioned recently, it’s just the fortresses that feel like wet socks to me 🤔

[gaunt ingot]

imagine me posting a Jurassic Park "it could be worse John, a LOT worse" in response, because PRETTY sure I don't have image posting privileges

[inner pebble]

Survivorship bias. The players still invested in the community are more likely to be the ones who didn't drop off because of Mistlands or Ashlands difficulty

[tribal wolf]

any word from the devs

[tranquil kernel]

Lots of words

[tribal wolf]

no action?

[tranquil kernel]

None related to the release.

Mostly just Smiffe Smiffering about

[tribal wolf]

skirting the hole

[frigid wolf]

Staring into The Eye of Sauron from behind.

[tardy vale]

hello

^ word

<-- dev

👋

[tribal wolf]

how was vaca?

[tardy vale]

I could have more sleep 😄

[frigid wolf]

Did you travel to an exotic locale to enjoy your leisure time?

[tardy vale]

I love in a vacation spot

so 😉

family stuff

and resting alot

playing with kids in snow

[tribal wolf]

snow, nice hopefully got the juices flowing for the deep north

[scenic wing]

Hmm? Because I’m part of the community, I’m more likely to enjoy the game? 🤔
Think it would be the other way around, yeah?

That being said, I’m pretty vocal about the things I dislike about Ashlands

[rare lodge]

Since there are ruins/houses everywhere, I kinda associate the enemies to the ruins.
And the Ashlands were supposed to be a very big and powerful "country" so it makes sense that there's a lot of (now undead) creatures there. Your idea is interesting tho.

On the other hand, I wonder if the Deep North will feel more "empty" and silent. 👀
It would make sense if it does.

Would be a good contrast after the chaos of the Ashlands too.

One thing I liked about the "land" that we find currently on the Deep North location, before the release, is that it feels so silent and empty.
I know that the Deep North release will put there a lot of POIs, trees, creatures and some buildings, but I hope it still feels very disconnected and silent.

Or not... Maybe the devs will surprise us with something completely different 🤷‍♀️

[storm anchor]

This is still one of my favorite comments on YT (in one of the Hervor videos).

[rare lodge]

Yeah, basically that. hahaha

[rare lodge]

Speaking of the chaos in the Ashlands, yesterday I was arriving at a fortress and suddenly three Morgens spawned at the same time from the same spot 🤦‍♀️💀
I didn't know that was even possible. It was wild.

[storm anchor]

Yeah, those ruins around the fortresses can have those morgen who emerge from the ground (like those inside putrid holes) and those can have stars too.

[rare lodge]

I'm glad none of them had stars. 😅

[gaunt ingot]

the contrast of a less 'busy' but still dangerous is a 'vibe' I've got from what the devs have stated their intentions are for it, but that's admittedly MY reading bewteen the lines (very possibly wrongly) and nothing really concrete at all--in any event, critiques of Ashlands aside (like looking for 'even better' to get to a's good as the rest' by comparison to the bar of "basically perfect"--as ORIGINALLY released, and somehow they keep finding ways a la Home & Hearth, Bog Witch, and Combat, to make it even better) everything done so far has given me every confidence it will be great and well worth howver long the wait is

[quick burrow]

Hooefully they still add in ideas and further update after the Deep North

I would think there is so much that could be added that we as the players have thought about multiple times

[tardy vale]

depends on what it is

people asking for apache helicopters or a complete re-design of the game is kinda of the plate 🤔

[quick burrow]

I mean Idk who would be asking for helicopters I was thinking maybe horses or an eitr powered flying machine or even a powered boat by Eitr something that fits the time period

Plus I dont think all the ideas fall to the players since we arent the devs I would want them to make stuff based on their minds that created this gem in the first place

Finding functional villages that have npc vikings in it or somehow make it feel like theres society there especially for solo players something that makes them feel less alone out there

[rare lodge]

But if we had flying machines, who would jump like crazy running out of stamina all the way up the mountains and the rocks of the Mistlands like a mountain goat? ⛰️🐐
It would could get too easy.

[quick burrow]

Maybe it takes stamina to flap some mechanical wings and you can glide once your up there but it consumes stamina to gain altitude

Or anytime you move it left or right

[rare lodge]

I think it is supposed to be lonely since it's the afterlife.

[quick burrow]

I mean its middle earth you can make it whatever you want

[gaunt ingot]

i'm sure they'll deliver as always, i think flying specifically though they've likely decided is out--and personally I think even as a "post-game reward" sort of thing it would be good because it would obsolete SO MANY aspects of the game

[quick burrow]

I dont think we need flying but for sure theres a lot that could be thought of we could agree on that

[gaunt ingot]

oh definitely there's a lot of ways they could go with it

it's like waiting for Christmas

[surreal trellis]

Hello, does anyone have any data of when the deep north is coming?

[quick burrow]

Nothing official except rumors of it being this year.

[surreal trellis]

I'm like 3 days off killing someone

I will say that Mr.Iron Gate made me do it

[rare lodge]

I am curious about the end game lore tbh. How they will wrap it up in terms of the story. 👀

[knotty shard]

Yeah but spooky dangerous things lurking...

[gaunt ingot]

they've left us little breadcrumbs and it seems like they're likely building to that

[knotty shard]

I LOVE the frost cave aesthetic and vibes

Especially when you get one that's really deep. Found a campfire and a fishing pole... very ominous

[knotty shard]

The x wing mod is more fun

[gaunt ingot]

oh you wanna mark that one--think that's a pretty rare find with a pond that spawns the mountain fish

[knotty shard]

It was frozen with two stone golem down there it's was fun

I think I know what may have been the fate of the poor traveler

[covert kernel]

There's flying already in the end game! You can catapult yourself with the Feather Cape

[gaunt ingot]

ALSO without--and it's much faster without!

[rare lodge]

Stone golem inside the cave? That never happened to me.

[knotty shard]

TWO, it was a tough fight

[rare lodge]

Valheim keeps surprising us with those spawns 😂

[mild moss]

I need a golem trophy on this save.. I should train my skeles in the mountains

[burnt leaf]

ahhh stone golem trophies, a 1 in 20 chance that might as well be 1 in 100 whenever i'm playing

[rare lodge]

Speaking about chances, my coop world has just SO many Bonemaws. And my solo world had like one so far... 🤦‍♀️

If we had the mechanic to throw any type of weapon, like we do with spears, I guess we could throw maces to do "ranged" blunt damage 🤔

imagining my viking character just throwing the mace onto Bonemass and then running around to pic it up 😂
the coward way of fighting, but doing the most effective damage. 👌

While Odin watches and goes 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[tranquil kernel]

Freya manifests to mock him "Hey, you chose them..."

[rare lodge]

I would totally do it if we had the mechanic.
If Greydwarves and Trolls can throw rocks, why can't I throw my mace? u.u

[hardy tinsel]

helo

[rare lodge]

I wanna throw tankards.

[craggy holly]

Flying is already in the game, hop on a Deathsquito, Gjall or Drake, hold tight 🙂

[tranquil kernel]

BAR BRAWL!! hurls a tasty mead at Alves...flop

[mellow tiger]

FOOD FIGHT

[gaunt ingot]

lox pies do seem lke they would make excellent projectile weapons in a food fight

[rare lodge]

And maybe some cooked boar, and eyescreams...

[tranquil kernel]

And then...the heavy artillery!

[rare lodge]

battering ram enters

[rare lodge]

During my first playthrough I thought the eggs were rare so I had to take them by boat or something to the mountain that has Moder. So I actually gathered a few heavy af eggs for nothing 😅

And because of them I never had enough weight to carry silver and obsidian. It was such a waste of time.

[tranquil kernel]

Oh same! And then when I realized they weren't all that rare, started decorating everything with them 😹

[rare lodge]

Yeah... might as well use them for something...

back to the topic of throwing
Imagine if we could throw those eggs with the catapult or something 👀
the real heavy artillery

that or Hildir's chests 😂😅

[tranquil kernel]

death by fashion!

[wraith island]

large pull on tankard So you're saying load a Dragon egg into a catapult and use it as a MOAB? slams empty tub "I'm in."

[tranquil kernel]

Can you load the ooze bombs in the catapult?

[gray crypt]

You can load anything into a catapult.

[gaunt ingot]

you should actually sugest usable dragon eggs that result in fat AoE frost damage

[gray crypt]

I don't know if ooze bombs will go off when they land though.

[tranquil kernel]

Well, yes, but I mean effectively

[gaunt ingot]

that sounds hilarious and fun as hell

no to my knowledge nothing but grausten and the explosive payload dedicated ammo does anything but get yeeted into space

(doing no actual damage, just lobbing the item likely to never be seen again)

[rare lodge]

may I suggest a pie?

[gaunt ingot]

lox pies from catapults giving a large AoE debuff called "pied" where the enemies just blindly attack around at their vicinty for a bit while they can't see through the viscous pie innards coating their faces

I do know my friend wanted to try it
Or a game similar to it I can't remember

And the owner pledged his life to it

For example, when someone talks about an awesome thing they did, or some amazing strategy, or how they defeated a high level boss in hardmode with just leather armour, etc (cool viking things in general)
If it's something "worthy of Valhalla", Odin could approve 👍

[tranquil kernel]

Unknown

[craggy holly]

no, there is nothing confirming this anywhere, wherever you heard it, someone probably made it up.

[snow sparrow]

tragedy, ty tho

[unkempt rampart]

w/e I don't like snow/desert biomes, I think they are boring

[burnt leaf]

there's never been a message i agreed and disagreed with so intensely at once

[coral cedar]

Quite often, there isn't much in them and they tend to be dominated by a very small color palette.

[burnt leaf]

i live for snowy places, they've got a lot of potential and there aren't many out there that really bore me.
complete opposite opinion on deserts and volcanic areas though, they gotta work hard with secondary characteristics to be interesting to me, ashlands just barely get into the "i like this" zone by being the most ruin-dense biome in the game, i love ruins

[coral cedar]

In my opinion, Ashlands does the whole "desolate fiery landscape" thing better than literally any other game I've ever played. Something about the atmosphere of the place is exceptional.

[burnt leaf]

i will say i think it's also better at being a hot lava area than most other hot lava areas i know.
-# i'm a monster hunter fan and as much as i like to gush about that franchise's map design, its volcanic area roster doesn't have too many bangers
-# you can tell there isn't much potential in a concept when 3 different games' volcano maps are just called "volcano" even when all the other locales start getting fancier names like "deserted island" or "sandy plains"

[scenic wing]

It can be hard to get desolate landscapes right 🤔

Terraria is my favorite game of all time, but I often find the desert to be pretty underwhelming.

[burnt leaf]

love the underground desert though, always one of my favourite places to start exploring

[scenic wing]

That’s fair, I meant to specify surface desert, I can give the underground a pass for sure

I’ll also mention that if you do some custom terraforming, it looks amazing

Probably the #1 toughest biome to make interesting in my opinion… is probably ocean biomes. It’s hard to make an ocean feel fleshed out 🤔

[burnt leaf]

my only references there are subnautica unless we mean above the water
the only MH game with underwater combat was tri (and 3U) so they've barely tried their hand at underwater environments, still like what they did with the deserted island and flooded forest though~

might be some in #1024264966712340510~

[torn blaze]

Ohh thanks Im to lazy to look for that type of thing lol

I cannot recall, was the intention to have 1.0 come out at the same time as deepnorth with slight additions outside of the deep north?

[umbral fog]

We are told that 1.0 and Deep North will be the same update and in one interview they did say that they plan to also add stuff to earlier biomes by that time 🙂

[green cosmos]

Can’t wait for the deep north man

[scenic wing]

Also super excited!

[green cosmos]

I hope they release cool northern armor game of thrones style

[mild moss]

I want elemental type armors that glow and have effects. Endgame should look endgame

[tranquil kernel]

See, I hate the glowing gear we have already, as I feel it breaks the immersion some and contributes to eye strain. Never gonna be able to please everyone!

[mild moss]

Fair

I like the Mistwalker tho. Faint glow

[crimson inlet]

Late game monster hunter is when you rock leather and chainmail layered armor
That's real endgame looks

Also, hate glow

takes a drink

[tranquil kernel]

Unknown

[burnt leaf]

i typically hate that in games, was so happy to see they got rid of it on flametal with the ashlands update.
in part for the same reason as raindancer but also because there are so many ways to make a material (especially metal) look unique and interesting that aren't just "make it glow"

[mild moss]

I just want blood magic themed robes

Have guck torches in my shoulders

[storm anchor]

I wish the glow in most Ashlands weapons would be bit dimmer - there are great looking details in many of them weapons that get covered by the glow.

[tepid peak]

I agree ☝️ I want to see the details in full glory!

[crimson steeple]

do we have a time frame yet for deep north end of 2026?

[tranquil kernel]

Not yet

[crimson steeple]

darn thx

[soft estuary]

this would be a great suggestion tbh, I agree

[storm anchor]

I have suggested it at some point.

[soft estuary]

Oh I see it. I hope they do it, I think weapons in general just tend to look better with a more faint glow.

[main sonnet]

You do realize that was your third drink today?

[crimson steeple]

lamo i should have scrolled up i didnt see someone already asked lol

[tranquil kernel]

You’re not my mother!!

So you most likely won't be the last one to ask it.

[main sonnet]

Not your father either. 😄

[tranquil kernel]

It’s good that people are excited for it

[crimson steeple]

yea i started a new forever world and im trying to take my time so i get to the deep north when it comes out

[main sonnet]

That's most likely becoming a loooooong ride.
Which will make it all the more fun when you finally reach your destination.

[crimson steeple]

cuz i dont wanna bet the ashlands 3 months before hand and have to wait im currently on in the mountains

[main sonnet]

So I had this "great" idea 4 weeks ago.

Going through the 26K+ liked songs I have on Spotify and make a travelling / working playlist from that with the songs in the alphabetical order.

2100 songs later I'm a at the letter E and already over 100 hours of music......

I got the feeling the Deep North will be released even before I've finished that playlist. 😄

The best part of doing it like that: The music switches from Iron Maiden to the Beatles to Kraftwerk to Abba. Some who know me, will most likely think I lost my mind. 🤣

[umbral fog]

Welp, i literally just listen to all the songs i like on shuffle... I am kinda in the same camp xD

Hytale is claiming they’re going for a Terraria/Valheim vibe- maybe I should check it out 🤔

[tardy vale]

[storm anchor]

Very Minecraft looking but with better looking combat and else mechanics.

[scenic wing]

Agreed! I’ve played a lot of Minecraft, Terraria, and obviously Valheim- all games that Hytale appears to have drawn a lot of inspiration from 🤔

[storm anchor]

Also what I've seen you can build proper houses with real looking roofs instead of those block houses with stairs as roof like in Minecraft.

[scenic wing]

Oh? I’m guessing there are dedicated roof blocks/pieces then? Interesting!

The style of the characters feels a bit weird to me, but obviously that’s a subjective/preference thing. I could get over that haha

[outer galleon]

Hey guys, is there any tip how to easily kill the moder?

[flint bloom]

There are ways to "cheese" moder and make it really easy... But are you sure you want that? Moder is a lot more fun as an epic boss fight!

[subtle ridge]

tbh if you get a bunch of obsidian arrows and a bow you can kill moder pretty easy

[urban urchin]

^^^^^^

Also, don't forget your frost resistance mead 🤝👍👍

and make health and stamina potions for the fight too

[turbid scarab]

I used the fenris claws, he seems to wig out in melee a lot and do effectively nothing

[urban urchin]

oops answered to the wrong comment my bad

[coral cedar]

Assuming someone has the wolf cape or a cold-resisting armor piece, would frost resistance mead even do anything?

[rare lodge]

I was fighting a Valkyrie and then an Asksvin 1star joined 💀

I thought it was a normal Asksvin, so I could kill both. But it was 1star.

[crude hamlet]

anyone tryna play

[urban urchin]

Well I thought the mead actually helped more in combat but I was wrong I just checked online 😂 so yeah indeed totally useless if you already have the wolf cape

[storm anchor]

Resistances from cape and mead won't stack, so having frost resistance either from equipment or mead is enough.

hello all!!!

im trying to decide if this game is for me or not....its either i get valheim or enshrouded. ikik this question gets asked alot but i really cant seem to make up my mind as to which game i should get first. and before you say get both, maybe in the future i will. but as of now, in college, i want to spend all my leftover energy on one game. is valheim worth it? or should i go enshrouded and do valheim later down the road?

[storm anchor]

This is quite biased opinion, but Valheim is worth it.

[grand urchin]

i should also mention, i think im going in solo. my friends seem to struggle playing games that arent mainstream lol

[runic sorrel]

Enshrouded will get timely updates

[smoky scarab]

I played quite a bit of both, enshrouded is not something I would replay really, the building system is nice and detailed but still worst than valheim's because of the lack of stability or smoke mechanic

The combat in enshrouded is also much worst, you can just get good gear and you don't even need to eat anything and just click anywhere and you will auto lock in on enemies and target them and destroy all the max level enemies and the life leach will keep you alive

[grand urchin]

yea ive heard a lot ab that. lowk seems pretty intuitive. i like the fact that what you craft and build actually matters for your surivial. its not just cosmetic. its necessary to move on. enshroudeds whole deal of finding better gear than what you craft kills the idea of crafting

thats good to know

[umbral fog]

I did play a bit of enshrouded when it came to EA, but really didnt like it much so i refunded it, i am considering trying it again since it got quite a few updates since then i believe. But i cant say i am in a hurry to do so 🙂

[grand urchin]

fair enough haha

[smoky scarab]

It has good mechanics like farming but it doesn't capitalize on it because the food doesn't have a big impact

[storm anchor]

Game looks interesting, like Minecraft but much better mechanics and more variety on equipment (from what I've followed).

[smoky scarab]

I have 175 hours in enshrouded and I feel like I did everything there is to be done, I have 2800 hours in valheim and I still have things to do

[crimson inlet]

it does, we're setting up
won't play much though cus gotta 🛌

[grand urchin]

oh my lmao what else do u have to do 😂

[smoky scarab]

Right now beating the game on hardcore settings

Also carrying some friend through a no map no portal playthrough

[grand urchin]

yea that mode seems captivating but it probably is not a good starting point lol

[smoky scarab]

It is not, definitely go pure vanilla to start IMO

If anything put fire hazard on because it adds realism, fun mechanics and has plus sides

[grand urchin]

interesting i will keep that in mind

[mild moss]

Fire hazard is hilarious when you forget it’s on and burn your house down

[grand urchin]

lollll

[nova cave]

How does the no map work with bosses. Do those icons at least pop up?

I’ve come back to valheim 4 times now. Still haven’t finished it. Still haven’t found everything. Still haven’t fished much. Still haven’t tried every build. Still dream up new buildings…into hobbit holes atm.

It’s also cross platform w/xbox.

[storm anchor]

IIRC it will turn your camera on the direction of the boss altar.

[unkempt rampart]

both good, valheim: proc gen world, more hardcore, sailing; enshrouded: bespoke, more breath of the wild, can't build at an angle

[coral cedar]

Enshrouded also leans much more heavily into the RPG side of the game and less on the survival/crafting side. It treats crafting of armor and weapons more like a backup option if you don't find good stuff, rather than the primary way to get it. As mentioned above, food is also entirely optional; I beat everything in the game up to the point that existed when I bought it and literally never ate anything the whole way. Various regeneration/healing methods exist, so food basically just buffs your base stats a little bit. To its credit, though, since the world of Enshrouded is entirely pre-made and it does lean on the RPG side, it does have much more interesting dungeons and puzzles, as well as more structured encounters with powerful enemies. Also has a handful of NPCs, town-building stuffs, quests, all that kind of open-world RPG stuff.

[knotty shard]

Ngl I love the more sandbox aspect of valheim. Spent days just building not fighting

[tropic shard]

True

[knotty shard]

Yeah, like he said. It's like minecraft vs zelda

[grand urchin]

😂

[lucid bluff]

Is discord tweaking right now?

cant talk to anyone

[tardy vale]

tweaking?

[lucid bluff]

Yeah like it wasn't reacting, I couldn't talk in any voice chat in any server, but don't worry it's apparently fixed now

[tardy vale]

ah

could been temporary

for me. the usual problem is that my PC have restarted, and I need to restart or re-sync my headset

When's The next dev blog

[umbral fog]

Usually it comes near end of the month 🙂

[tired mica]

I been all over Valheim I never once set foot in the deep north yet I may as well set foot in it add mods why the deep north is taking to long I feel like it's never going to come out so I'm thinking of adding mod packs for the deep north to add some fun in this boring game 😒

[tardy vale]

it's your game so do what you want

[gray crypt]

Morgen gjall. Happy Friday.

[tranquil kernel]

Happy Friday. We made it!

[frail pond]

Top of the Morgen.

[covert kernel]

Punctuation has left the chat

[peak kindle]

And patience lol

[covert kernel]

I mean, I'm all for modding games as much as one wants, my Valheim itself is modded to my liking. I don't know if I'd add a Deep North mod, since it'll most likely not have the same design philosophy as the rest of the game

[vocal trout]

Don't buy EA games if you can't wait.

[jagged charm]

Yep some games have long dev times because every studio has different standards for quality control etc and different sizes (amounts of employees) if a 6-7 year long dev cycle seems to much just avoid EA games until fully released

[cerulean lagoon]

Hello i just saw a viking war of 70 player on twitch.
I don't understand portugues tho...
But i am wonderinf where to find this kind of event.
Pvp viking war not too modded

[umbral fog]

Well, you would need quite the modded server for stuff like this, considering that normal max of players is 10 😄

[cerulean lagoon]

What ment by no too modded was ti not have too many changes on the game. But of course you need some mods to allow more than 10 player

[vocal trout]

1 mod on the server and any vanilla PC or Xbox can join which is nice.

[dapper marlin]

I imagine the average frame rate was 3 - for the people who aren't streamers and didn't have a turbo juiced up rig. Big multiplayer events usually look much cooler than the reality of participating in them actually is

[cerulean lagoon]

On they're stream it seems smouth

I allready player on a north american server while living in france. With 25+ player connected and there was not that much of a lag

[dapper marlin]

Aye, to be fair Internet connections/speeds aren't the same anywhere, I think mine's just quite poor

[scenic wing]

This is probably going to sound bad, but I’ve been laughing all day about that guy that was asking about a January Dev update because “January is coming to a close” 😂

[mild moss]

Yeah we have 5 more weeks of January at least… right?

[slender marlin]

at least 5, we all know Jan is just an upscaled Mon

[tardy vale]

yeah. almost christmas time again 🤔

times flies

[burnt leaf]

someone say christmas time

[tardy vale]

DLSS works on calenders aswell

and fake frames

so each month becomes +278%

[slender marlin]

lots of fake frames

[lyric remnant]

So what is the completion % of deep north currently 😊

[tardy vale]

we can't say % since it's back and forth on a daily bacis

[tranquil kernel]

0% probably

[tardy vale]

oh no no

it's alot

[tranquil kernel]

A lot is greater than zero!

[lyric remnant]

More news soon maybe?

[tardy vale]

it's between the cynical and the copium people 🤔

[soft estuary]

You could answer it as a range: 0 - 100% 😄

[tranquil kernel]

50% with a 50% margin of error

[lyric remnant]

1st or 2nd quarter release

[tranquil kernel]

Maybe!

[tardy vale]

that's what I said before. it goes back and forth on a daily basis

[lyric remnant]

More news soon maybe?

[tardy vale]

when we have something to tell you, we will 🙂

[lyric remnant]

So cryptic

[main sonnet]

You could try to bribe Smiffe, but I doubt it'll work.

Last person who tried it, offered 30K and it wasn't accepted.

[slender marlin]

when it's done it will be 100% (seems obvious, but just take a look at the average game developement)

[vocal trout]

Progress % means nothing as 0-90% can be super quick and then the last 5 take 3 times as long.

[bright peak]

Like the average windows update, gets to 99% and then takes hours

[vocal trout]

And then you sit there extremely paranoid wondering if it froze :|
Dear god I remember those days, praying it moves a nanometer to show activity.

[tranquil kernel]

“Download Failed”

[main sonnet]

What about the other 5%?

[lyric remnant]

I hope there is a new cold weather survival element

Or the surrounding waters being frozen

[round orbit]

Next upcoming update is deep north yes?

[vocal trout]

Oops 😂

[vocal trout]

No, Shallow North first

[umbral fog]

As far as we know, yep 🙂

[tardy vale]

no obvious lying 👀

[quaint magnet]

they renamed it to very deep north 😄

[devout trout]

What about Level North?

[coral cedar]

Next up, Tall South, Flat West, and Gently-Hilly East.

[round orbit]

ocean update when

[main sonnet]

Last I heard when all the water has fallen over the edge of the world.

[carmine wasp]

how to active boss power?

I got it at ready

[gray crypt]

[hardy tinsel]

heyo

[tardy vale]

I would hope not 🤔

[austere jacinth]

IronGate is great with environmental effects, I would bet theres like, slippery lakes, or somethin. They are gonna make us feel like "THIS IS ICE/SNOW" like they made us feel the Lava in Ashlands jajaja
Pure conjecture on my end of course 😉

[tranquil kernel]

I hope so!! I love/hate the slippery ice levels in games

[austere jacinth]

I always think of pokemon jajaja
Specifically the slippery ice cave or gym that seems to be in every pokemon game

[simple cove]

is Gportal down ?

[eternal willow]

Do tree stumps not regrow

[scenic wing]

Nope, they do not

[eternal willow]

Why do I swear otherwise

[scenic wing]

If you want to grow trees, you’ll need to plant saplings 🌱

[eternal willow]

and if I cut down a sapling does it not regrow if I cut it?

[storm anchor]

If you mean the smaller trees, then no, they don't regrow either.

[eternal willow]

Is there a way to get passed the max growth height for raising ground?

nvm found a mod

[smoky scarab]

This is wild, in my new hardcore playthrough I was just hugging the swamp trying to find turnips early which didn't take long. But I saw an abomination and I had the razor already so I snuck up on it and killed it but we were fighting on top of 2 scrap piles. Which I then finished mining and I ended up with 14 iron. What to do with that iron was pretty obvious though

Hunting serpents on my longship with over 20 minutes of rested before I even know where the elder is

You can try looking out for people in your time zone, or make your own post and state what time zone you live in.

[kindred quiver]

ok thanks

[devout marlin]

Is there and admin that I ca. talk to asap

[crude rune]

I second this, I have someone I need to report.

[storm anchor]

No worries.

[plain kraken]

Returning to the game after a while.
Black Metal Battle Axe, my beloved.

Why yes, I would love the sheer stagger pressure of a Battle Axe but with up-to-tier level damage.

[storm anchor]

Also ||Skull Splittur|| later.

[plain kraken]

I'm torn though.
Do I make the switch to ||magic|| when I hit the ||Mistlands||, or keep going all in on axes?

[tardy vale]

Not that I know of 🤔

[plain kraken]

Very important question:
Is Deep North fun?

(That is all)

[storm anchor]

Do as you like, no wrong ways to play in terms of weapon choices.

[tardy vale]

https://tenor.com/view/thegoon-bigoldgoon-ted-lasso-yes-yes-yes-yes-gif-701975896996955852

[woven birch]

Good question? Has anyone beat valheim with just 1 weapons only run (like sword, axe, spear, knife). It might be a good challenge.

I'm waiting until 1.0 geta release to try the challenges.

[tardy vale]

many times 🤔

[plain kraken]

Tbf people just do those as normal runs; they get attached to a specific weapon family/type.

[tardy vale]

it's hard tho ^

bow only is hard because sometimes you need the speed of a melee weapon

and without bow or spear, you almost cannot deal with the "sky rats" in mountains biome

[plain kraken]

Meanwhile, Club only out here breezing through

Wooden Club is peak for Black Forest Crypts
Bronze/Iron Mace is peak for Swamp
Frostner is just peak.
Porcupine performs well into many enemy types.

(until you encounter Drakes and Gjalls)

[tardy vale]

indeed. a level 4 club is a killing machine

and all you need to level it up is bones... which you need a club to make

so win - win

[rugged stag]

A club to make a club eh? Where does one find the club making club?

[proud thistle]

I will Shenan. Then i will Shenanagin !

[plain kraken]

You can only find such knowledge in the Deep North.

[quasi junco]

you can upgrade clubs?

i just gave up on the club in favor of spear (which is nice! i like the throw)

[plain kraken]

Bronze Mace and Iron Mace count as Club weapons.
As does ||Frostner||, ||Porcupine||, and ||Flametal Mace||.

Hell, the Torch counts as a Club weapon iirc.

[storm anchor]

It requires bones for upgrading.

[quasi junco]

im assuming those need the uhh.. forge, whatever it was called

[plain kraken]

You need a Forge for all but the Torch, Wooden Club, and ||Flametal Mace||.
The former two require a Workbench, and the latter requires the ||Black Forge|| which is acquired in late game.

Lowkey, when you acquire ||Frostner||, you can just say "Fuck it, we ball" and use that till end game.
||Frostner|| is great for every enemy that isn't a Mountains enemy (and I imagine eventually Deep North enemies).

[quasi junco]

man i wish there was some less clunky lighting for homes

atleast, for early game

[mild moss]

Put a bunch of yellow mushrooms around the walls as track lighting

[storm anchor]

Other mountain enemies than ||stone golems||, ||drakes||, ||Geirrhafa|| and ||Moder|| the ||Frostner|| is fine.

It shines later in being reliable crowd control weapon and dealing good damage against enemies in 6th biome.

[plain kraken]

Yeah, I should've specified higher tier Mountain enemies.

[gray crypt]

Morgen gjall

[plain kraken]

Sorry for the ping btw, but during Plains tier, which Trinket would you generally go with for Battle Axes (since you're the resident Battle Axe Enjoyer™):

||- Iron Brooch

• 65 Adrenaline Cost
• 50 Healing
• +20 Armour
• 30s Duration||

||- Nimble Anklet

• 60 Adrenaline Cost
• +50 Stamina
• +15% Movement Speed
• 30s Duration||

Currently rocking Nimble Anklet since my first thought is "Wow... Stamina and Movement Speed is definitely what a Battle Axe wants", but I'm curious on if Iron Brooch would be worth to take into the ||Mistlands|| since I imagine the Armour and Health could help a lot with parries.

[storm anchor]

Iron Brooch. HP gain and bonus armor helps with raiding fuling villages with battleaxe.

[plain kraken]

I just leverage Stamina with Tasty Mead then, as per usual?

[storm anchor]

Tasty mead I usually rely on more.

Berserkir mead is also great, but gotta be more careful when using that, Bonemass power helps overrun the weaknesses.

[plain kraken]

Yeah, I got plenty of Berserkir and Ratatosk on hand

[tulip mauve]

the hp and armor from iron brooch doesn't really help with parrying

Unless you're taking a lot of damage even when parrying successfully

[smoky scarab]

It's a nice safety to have even if some other trinkets might make you more efficient, the most counter productive thing you can do is die so anything that helps prevent it is worth it

[plain kraken]

I suppose it's likely I might end up hit trading once or twice with Battle Axe, too.
So it would be nice in that sort of situation.

[smoky scarab]

Definitely, the longer the weapon animations and combo the easier it is to get hit while attacking

[quasi junco]

what tf

[mild moss]

Yep, can hide them behind signs or other things, nice ambient glow

[quasi junco]

yeah ok but how do you even put things on walls

[mild moss]

Item stands or use the serving platter

[quasi junco]

dont know either yet

[mild moss]

Bronze nails and fine wood for item stands

Serving platter have to find a trader in the swamps

[quasi junco]

dont got bronze yet i think

isnt it in the black forest?

so far i only have tin

[frosty walrus]

You find copper in the black forest and craft it together with tin to make bronze

[quasi junco]

fun

[storm anchor]

Since 2h weapons are more risk and reward type of weapons and battleaxe is ultimately great option against groups the Iron brooch helps tanking few hits in between the swinging.

[tulip mauve]

Agreed, Iron brooch is really good. I'd say it's the best trinket for most biomes, though part of that is how early you unlock it

[smoky scarab]

I'll generally use the bronze pendant for exploring lower tier biomes and doing random tasks. The nimble anklet if my goal is to level skills and the iron brooch for progressions through new biomes and exploring the current one

[knotty shard]

Really? Barely used it. Just wall decoration

I'm a fan of a maxed out silver or black metal sword

[austere jacinth]

Jajaja thats cool, it makes sense because the Abom's aoe attack would destroy the node, and then the itemdrops would move up above the terrain. Talk about Emergent Gameplay eh?

[ionic mantle]

Who wants to play polytopia

[smoky scarab]

Exactly how I knew there was a pile down there which was very lucky, 2 right next to each other also seems unlikely and getting 14 from 2 piles was also really lucky

[austere jacinth]

I always forget about the piles hidden under the swamp overworld !

The wishbone reveals them right?

[smoky scarab]

Probably, I assume the stagbreaker can also do the same

but they are probably rare and much harder to find than say silver, which you know it is very high and on pretty flat land

[vocal trout]

Went to the store to get Saturday snaccs like nuts, chips, fries etc.
Saw a new Monster flavor "VIking Berry" and bought 4

[umbral fog]

It can, but iirc they say 0, not too hard, so you will be confusing it with lots of suff around that also shows 0

[tardy vale]

and it tasted?

[vocal trout]

Not sure haven't tried it yet, will tonight 😄
Haven't even tried the BrainRot yet.

[burnt leaf]

they're also not the same object as the scrap piles you find in crypts and iirc drop less scrap than those, the average per pile was something below 10, which isn't much considering how uncommon they are

[smoky scarab]

I would never bother, I did end up tracking down the elder and will get more iron the efficient way

[umbral fog]

According to wiki the outside ones have higher drop rate than those inside, still only around 6 per pile apparently so not a real use appart of very early stone cutter if you find some 😄

[burnt leaf]

i think their purpose may just be to tutorialize the wishbone some more for blind players, maybe they equip it right where they get it

[burnt leaf]

oh
maybe they just have fewer fragments?
or i'm entirely misremembering

[umbral fog]

Or maybe you switched which ones are the ones that drop less in your head, happens to me sometimes

[burnt leaf]

i just remember the realization i had back then being "oh, this doesn't seem worth it at all"

[smoky scarab]

I assumed I just got lucky, I mined enough iron to know I don't get 7 on average per pile

But it would make sense

[burnt leaf]

my feel may also be skewed by the fact that scrap piles in crypts are almost always a bunch of them clipped into one lil corridor

[storm anchor]

Yeah, just a very little part of it visible which is not reachable with pickaxe.

[austere jacinth]

Sounds up there with killing the 1 ooze in front of a crypt for a chance at 1 iron scrap xD

That 2nd iron scrap is so awesome though. Stonecutter !

[burnt leaf]

at least that one's super easily done without a swamp key or wishbone for an early stonecutter haha

[tardy vale]

[umbral fog]

Mornin gjall 😄

[plain kraken]

I've a question for something I can't quite test at the moment.
If a 2 meter horizontal wooden beam is half overlapping with a roof of some kind (you know how you can place beams into the seams of roof pieces and create latice looking patterns on roofs), will it decay in the rain or no? Because I want to do a build where 1 meter of beam sticks out past the roof overhang, and I'm curious on if half of the 2 meter wooden beam being "engulfed" by the roof is enough to stop decay.

[umbral fog]

I am afraid it will still decay, since generally even if you have only a small gap in your roof the whole tile beneath it will decay, so i would assume same would apply in this situation.

[plain kraken]

Hmmmm...

Maybe I just go build in the Mountains then.

It's pretty there anyway.

[umbral fog]

No rain there 😄 just nice snow

[frail pond]

You will eventually unlock horizontal beams that won't decay in the rain.

[plain kraken]

Oh yes, I know, I have Dark Wood

[frail pond]

(there is also another way to prevent rain damage even further in progression)

[plain kraken]

the problem is aesthetic clash

[plain kraken]

Would you mind saying what that is in spoilers?

[frail pond]

||Shield generator|| it becomes available in the Ashlands.

[plain kraken]

Ah! That!

[umbral fog]

-# Well you dont even need to go to ashlands to unlock it 😄 but technically it is after mislands are finished

[plain kraken]

I was planning on a long term build in the Mistlands at some point eventually and considering the aesthetic there, maybe some ||Shield Generators|| would go well with it...

But for now, I suppose I will focus on building my "primary home" in the Mountains

[frail pond]

More so referring to the Ashlands point in progression.

[storm anchor]

It works nicely for main base in some earlier biome too as it blocks the rain.

[plain kraken]

True!

I've been doing some thinking and I've decided I might just build my new main base out of core 'n' dark wood in the Black Forest, ideally in a patch that's also linked to Plains and hopefully Swamp

its my friend who will be hosting it. I'm just trying to figure out how do i download the game file we currently have to give it to him to host it

we've been playing this one game for years, but i don't have the capacity to host it, he does

[storm anchor]

Ah, so then. You need to give your friend the world files.

[slate cosmos]

yea... how do i do that?

[storm anchor]

The files are found in this route: user name > Appdata > LocalLow > Iron Gate > Valheim.

AppData folder is hidden, should be able to find it with typing $AppData$ in search bar.

Then, you need fwl and db files of your world.

[slate cosmos]

ok cool, i'll start looking

[distant nebula]

Hello!

[slate cosmos]

ok I found the folder, now there is /worlds / worlds_local

[storm anchor]

IIRC it's in either, depending if you have saved them local or cloud.

[slate cosmos]

i play over steam

ok there are files that say forestmasktexcache, heighttexcache and maptexcache. Do i download them all?

[frosty walrus]

You only need .fwl and .db files, not the map textures

[slate cosmos]

i don't see .fwl or .db

[distant nebula]

Anyone know what PTB stands for? I've got no clue😅

ahh thanks!

[slate cosmos]

if i dont see the .db or .fwl files, does that mean theyre in the cloud?

[storm anchor]

You could try moving them to local ingame.

[slate cosmos]

?

[burnt leaf]

or public test branch, slightly different meanings but both apply

[knotty shard]

When you open the game and look at your save files there will be an option to move the save from the cloud on steam, to your local machine

[slate cosmos]

ok i will try

ah ok! I found the option in manage saves

Public Test Branch

@frosty walrus 😉

[burnt leaf]

build also works though. the branch would be the entire thing, a build would be an individual version in that branch

[tardy vale]

else it would be Public Beta Test

well. from how we use it internally, we "branch" of a build and make it public

[umbral fog]

So it could be also PTBB (Public Test Build Branch)

[tardy vale]

yeah. but it's not 🤔

Haldors caravan is my vc

[marsh garnet]

Think the devs fight each other with swords over disagreements viking style?

[tardy vale]

would be dumb since it's very unbalanced in fighting prowess amongst us devs 🤔

[marsh garnet]

😭 too many sweats

[tardy vale]

sweats?

no no

some of us have combat training. some don't

[marsh garnet]

fair enough

[ancient wolf]

Hey, does anyone know when the 8th boss will be?

[hexed holly]

side note My heart is so happy to open a Discord where there are Devs in the wild with players! ❤️

[mild moss]

When? They will be exactly on time.
