valheim-chat

[opal prairie]

Yeah and now you can get a pickaxe!

[tardy coral]

I'ma reload the save lol

[languid root]

That deer always looked so innocent to me. Compared to other bosses. I'm sure he's a nice guy though forsaken

[merry pebble]

why?

[tardy coral]

Cause it's a deer

They look noble or sum

[opal prairie]

Do a deer a female deer?

[tardy coral]

What

[light moat]

Ray? A drop of golden sun?

[vocal rivet]

Me! The name I call myself.

[merry pebble]

far, a long, long way to run

[coarse dew]

Tea... A Drink with Jam and Bread.

[heady parcel]

Gods. I'm trying to get to the nearest Smouldering Tomb but I've run into this massive continent blocking my way, I thought I'd sail around it but ended up in Mistlands... I'm in silver gear, so not quite ready for that yet, thankyouverymuch! So backtracking across half the damn map to try the other way around...

[merry pebble]

you missed 2 lines 😭

[coarse dew]

... But I Like Tea

[vocal rivet]

D'oh!

[coarse dew]

... Must relocate 32 D'ohs.mp3

[opal prairie]

A word, A homer word.

[coarse dew]

lol

[rain flare]

Shite 🤣

[trail wave]

guys

my acc got hacked and the guy that solted it enabled 2fa

and discord suport shit, they got only bots

what i do?

[tardy coral]

Contact support

[trail wave]

only bots reply

[tardy coral]

Send ticket

[trail wave]

same thing

[cyan herald]

go to your email(s). click "force logout"

[trail wave]

i dont lost the email of the account

[cyan herald]

good

then a ticket do discord is the way to do

[trail wave]

just the discord account, but i can get the password back because the mf enabled 2fa

can't*

i sent a lot of screnshots to discord email support, everything about it and just a bot replys

[cyan herald]

ah. yeah.. they are slow

[whole monolith]

hows it goin smiffe

[trail wave]

saying to recovery the password using the link but it don't work because the guy enable 2fa so even with the old password and the email i can't do nothing

[coarse dew]

... They might be a bit Busy, you know... Patience,

[cyan herald]

yeah.. the 1000's account stolen the last 2-3 days are massive workload on them

[whole monolith]

i don't understand the enjoyment people get out of doing that kind of stuff to others

[cyan herald]

fun for 5 minutes. 200 year of "will someone find out I did it. will cops come knock on my door"

[tardy coral]

I wasn't prepared for how comically easy Eikthyr is

[near inlet]

all bosses are much easier if you prepare, which you did

[cyan herald]

as long as you have a shield and use it. your solid

[coarse dew]

Schadenfruede... Some get a bigger kick out of it than most.

[light moat]

Don’t get too cocky, the rest aren’t so easy! But well done regardless.

[cyan herald]

I've punched Eikthyr to death 😄

[near inlet]

my first ever time in the game I tried to fight eikthyr with only a stone axe and 10 raspberries

no other food, no armor, no shield, no bow. got rolled lol

[whole monolith]

smiffe is mike tyson confirmed

[tardy coral]

Yeah lol, I started using him to chop down trees

Is Eikthyr worth farming?

[whole monolith]

his trophy looks nice for decoration

[near inlet]

he's good for leveling bow skill. crude bow, wood arrows, use him as a sponge

[tardy coral]

Are there any uses for Eikthyr antlers besides the pickaxe

[near inlet]

no

[tardy coral]

Sux

[whole monolith]

you can make a few antler pickaxes in place of a bronze pickaxe early on and just repair them at a regular workbench, only reason to have multiple imo

[coarse dew]

I didn't feel like chasing him up and down the glen... So, I built Fort Bite Me right outside the stone ring around his altar.

[near inlet]

really just moder and yagluth have drops that are useful to have lots of

[opal prairie]

Decoration.

[heady parcel]

Hahaha was about to run aground at full sail but a wave lifted me over the damn rock

[coarse dew]

Gotta take those narrows and Black Forest Coastlines a little slower than you'd like too in rough seas.

[left python]

Is it just me or does the game lag really bad when it storms

[whole monolith]

i've never had that issue

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I was risking it to try and make up lost time.. 😄 . Seems the massive continent blocking me is actually the same one with the tomb on it, just impossibly large. Biggest I've ever come across...

[coarse dew]

Unusual for a landmass that size to be out that far... at least in my own experiences.

[heady parcel]

Not going to have enough food for the trip home, need to resort to cooked deer and berries 😄

[hollow wing]

i had random lags in swamp

i really wish there was a way to tell how far away you are from spawn. it gets annoying

not knowing something so basic

[vocal rivet]

You can look at the map?

[hollow wing]

i can look at the map i guess

but thats just guessing, and from what people have told me here im not that far away, yet it is quite far

[faint nebula]

youi couild just set up camp there and call it a temporary home

[elfin field]

Tasty mead vs lingering stamina mead?

[smoky quarry]

tasty -100% hp regen but quicker

[odd helm]

If you can manage the 10secs of no stamina usage to recover, it's fantastic

[boreal meadow]

do burial sites ever respawn their loot? just wondering if surtling cores are a limited resource or not

(I guess i can always make a 2nd world and just raid the crypts there, like you can do in terarria)

[smoky quarry]

u can get cores from swamp or raids also

[boreal meadow]

dope! i just beat elder last night and got my key

[coarse dew]

Surt Cores are only in the Crypts... Burial Sites, and Cairns are something else entirely (those odd little standing stone clusters with a capstone & stacked flat stones in the mountains)

[smoky quarry]

can get few cores in mistland also

[faint nebula]

when you get into swamps you can find fire-spouts that spawn surtlings. they drop cores

[smoky quarry]

and more important, coal

[odd helm]

Burial Chambers are the black forest dungeons, Sunken Crypts are the swamp's

[coarse dew]

Map lists them as Crypts.

[boreal meadow]

yeah thats my fault i am new, i mixxed up the name of the two

[odd helm]

You find surtling cores in the burial chambers~

[boreal meadow]

i just call them dungeons when im marking them on my map xd

[coarse dew]

... Looks like there needs to be another Icon on the map to distinguish them...

[smoky quarry]

Biome specific dungeon

[odd helm]

I usually just jot down the hammer looking icon with initials

[boreal meadow]

who needs map icons i just use the little circle for everything

[frozen void]

Hammer for this i want or need to do, fire for farming spots, portal for dungeons(Xout when cleared), house for bases and outposts, dots for mineral deposits

[boreal meadow]

thats a good system

[smoky quarry]

I use them randomly

[odd helm]

I do hammer for dungeons (x'd when cleared too), house for bases or location of current boat, portal for portals and fire for small rest spots

And dots for any harvestable resource, mines or berries or such

[smoky quarry]

once lost one of my boats, found it 100h later. Forgot its location after a break

[latent wraith]

I use house for bases, hammer for mineral deposits, portal for dungeons, campfire for small outposts, dots for berries/shroms/random stuff.
To quote a friend when she saw my map: "Why isn't everything campfires?!? Maniac!"

[smoky quarry]

was packed to the brim with fine wood too

[rain flare]

I like this

I use house for bases and campfires for outposts as well

Dungeons or special things are that runestone/portal thing

Hammer is for ocean stuff like harbours or leviathans/serpent spawns

[latent wraith]

It's has a hole in it so I use it for things I go into. :>

[rain flare]

Berries are always dots

[odd helm]

am I the only one that uses the portal icon for portals

[faint nebula]

ive taken to using houses for fuling and draugr villages and dverger outposts

[rain flare]

Maaaaybe 🙃

[frozen void]

Remember that mouse centers on your character too when you open map, so you can open map, select pin type, then quickly close and reopen if you need a pin exactly where youre staanding

[frozen void]

Thats covered by outposts

[odd helm]

Only big bases get the house icon

I like to do lots of small portal fob's

[latent wraith]

If I have a permanent portal it gets a small house with a workbench and a chest.

[odd helm]

They'll get the portal icon and noted with the portal code

[frozen void]

Temporary portals dont need a pin for me

[latent wraith]

They get a dot if I may set up another portal on the same island.

[vague edge]

Eh, I never actually sailed to go for the second boss, actually. Thinking on it, really didn't run the entire progression. I kept getting stuck on how to set up infrastructure especially if I have a main base somewhere.

I spent more time on mulling supply chains

[latent wraith]

Boat also get a dot, that one's rather important to mark.

[smoky quarry]

[frozen void]

Very rare that an island doesnt get a perma outpost for me

[odd helm]

I wish there was a boat icon

[faint nebula]

yeah. save lots of random wandering'

[frozen void]

Boats almost always gets packed away in a chest if i am not leaving immediately

[smoky quarry]

I make them a safe harbor, a requirement to build a fort.

[vocal rivet]

But you could still mark the location of your boat chest.

[smoky quarry]

only worth building if it can hold a boat sagfely

[odd helm]

I really dislike packing up the boat like that~

[frozen void]

Outpost lol

[odd helm]

Unless it's an emergency I'll leave it built

[latent wraith]

I just leave the boat at the shore, it's extremely rare that anything attacks it, at least without me hearing it.

I've never seen the point in destroying it, I just park it in the shallows with a campfire next to it just in case.

[rare birch]

Found my second Fenring and got a trophy. Already got several Tetra fish so don't need this trophy for bait. I am wanting to catch all the fish

[frozen void]

I dont play with sound

[latent wraith]

Sound is important in Valheim. :p

[frozen void]

I rarely die cause of ambush though, so eh

I might get back into valheim though. I havent actively played since june

[light moat]

Just curious Scarlet, why do you dislike dismantling boats?

[frozen void]

Probably feels bad for the boat

[latent wraith]

Not so much ambushes as "something's happening over there" or " there's a troll nearby that I should kill before it finds my wolves" and "that sounds like something hitting my wall."

[frozen void]

Going merry

[frozen void]

Generally like watching something or listening to music on the side

[latent wraith]

I don't think I played at all from February or so to November or thereabouts. Still haven't more than just had a peek at Mistlands.

[thick shore]

WHEN IS THE NEW UPDATE COMING I AM DYING FOR BOREDOM HERE 🙃

[grave bone]

Soon, before the summer

[latent wraith]

I also like having music on the side, still have game sound on. :>

[frozen void]

Was playing on a norwegian server, then went on vacation and host took it down without warning and ignored my plea to share files, so lost motivation again

[frozen void]

Read #general channel description

[latent wraith]

Oof

[vocal rivet]

You got the Norwegian blues?

[frozen void]

I had like 150 hours on that server

[vocal rivet]

That does suck, it wouldn't have hurt them to give you the world save.

[frozen void]

I even anticipated and tagged the guy two weeks before he took it down, he even left the discord

When i thought to dm him he didnt have the files anymore

[smoky quarry]

bummer

[civic stirrup]

Happy Valheim birthday y'all

[smoky quarry]

Fireworks?

[frozen void]

Oh yeah it is isnt it

[civic stirrup]

That it is

[thick shore]

thank you

[smoky quarry]

Open up the Mead Hall!

[civic stirrup]

Three years now

[frozen void]

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-gif-27293740

[civic stirrup]

Wild if you ask me

Might have to go visit my first base location

[smoky quarry]

I turned it into a farm

[frozen void]

I started playing on feb 6th i think

[civic stirrup]

I think I started about a month after release

[latent wraith]

I started about a week after, I think.

People tested it and said it was fun. They were correct.

[grave bone]

This game appeared in the right time I think - when almost everyone was in lock-down. And suddenly one can explore vast words without leaving one's room...

[civic stirrup]

Unfortunately my original base isn't still around, I ended up moving across the bay.
Quite the endeavor at the time for me

[smoky quarry]

Bought it and played it a bit soon after release but waited for more updates. Hearth update brought me in

[latent wraith]

I wish I could start over and be new again.

[civic stirrup]

And play together

[civic stirrup]

Welp guess its time to get dementia

[plush umbra]

For me it was no man's sky in thwt time

[latent wraith]

I've never been as social as during covid. :p

It's much easier to be social when you can do it remotely from home.

[civic stirrup]

Aww did out of server emojis get yoinked?

[plush umbra]

How new? Like baby new or?

[light moat]

Pegster is born again

[frozen void]

Life didn't change for me. Little social life, working in gtocery store(never closed) and still never got covid

[latent wraith]

Working at a grocery store at the start of covid was great.
More sales and less people.

Much easier to work.

[plush umbra]

I loved those distance rules and the arrows on the floor

It worked so good why did we remove them?!

[frozen void]

I miss people not stepping into my face, but yeah this is valheim chat lol

[plush umbra]

Oopsiedaisy

[civic stirrup]

How's that city coming along?

[frozen void]

Mine?

[plush umbra]

Mine?

[latent wraith]

Mine?

[civic stirrup]

Probably been a couple years since last I've seen it

[patent basin]

Oh god the grocery store life....I do not miss it. I worked at a fareway for years, started merchandising for coke, and recently moved to an IT position for coke. I'm never going back

[civic stirrup]

Larsi

[patent basin]

Fuuuuuuck that

[plush umbra]

Wow that escalated quickly

[civic stirrup]

I ain't seen any of y'alls cities yet lol

[latent wraith]

I love working at a grocery store but I mostly work with the fun bits.

[vocal rivet]

Heh, I was filming a scene for a short film the other day and I was playing a shopkeeper and I was standing behind the counter and it suddenly occured to me that that was the first time I'd done it. I've never done the retail life.

[plush umbra]

Oh wait coca cola

[frozen void]

It has three castles in addition to the castle bridge

[latent wraith]

poofs afk.

[patent basin]

yeah, cocacola. I don't think there are cocaine merchandisers (that are legal anyways)

[plush umbra]

You should try it

[civic stirrup]

Retail sucks

[patent basin]

It really does

[near inlet]

I hang out in here at work because I can't actually PLAY valheim 😔

I'm living vicariously through the Discord and subreddit

[plush umbra]

Retail is fun! People tho...

[patent basin]

When I merchandised I'd be in the store at the crack of dawn to avoid the people.

[frozen void]

@civic stirrup i dont know when you visited, but its been over a year since i actiely worked on it, but im planning on getting back into it

[patent basin]

Most customers are fine but it's the handful that aren't that ruins everything

[plush umbra]

Here i was feeling guilty for not working on my valheim town for a week 😄

[civic stirrup]

Its been probably about 1 1/2 - 2 years

[civic stirrup]

I kind of abandoned mine after I realized I wouldn't be able to use it as my base

[near inlet]

this right here is why I don't build any really creative stuff, I'm function over form lol

[frozen void]

Youve probably not seen the newest and biggest castle then. Theres also probably 20-30 houses spread out

[civic stirrup]

Built a new base instead as I had been using my old one for like 2 years

[plush umbra]

Form Follows Function!!!

[heady parcel]

Aye some people seem to look at your average retail employee as some kind of authority figure, and just let loose all their anger and hate at them. I've had to pull customers away from young lads/lasses they were about to physically assault, over some fucking cupon they messed up themselves

[civic stirrup]

From what I remember there was one castle and maybe a house or two then a path round a hill

[plush umbra]

Fun fact: the elderly are huge thieves xD

[frozen void]

This is still valheim chat, you can talk about retail work in #general

[patent basin]

It really do be like that. I always say that the people who act like that have never worked a day of retail in their life

[frozen void]

Well, you can come visit again if you want lol

[fathom marsh]

Looks like roles have not been implemented yet.

[heady parcel]

Oopsie, well I made it to the Smoldering Tomb eventually!

[plush umbra]

Im making a Town called "Rusrust" ("rest from rowing"), its a non-religious merchant town vaguely inspired by flemish/dutch/danish Merchant towns.

[civic stirrup]

Very cool

[civic stirrup]

I'd love to though I don't have internet for my PC atm

[plush umbra]

The hardest part will be cutting not adding

[frozen void]

Mine is called Borgsund, which translates to Catle Strait because i have a giant castle bridge that connects two islands

[frozen void]

Ah, poor connection makes my poor trolls escape their cages

[civic stirrup]

🤣

[plush umbra]

Yeah im going to add some type if bridge(s) too, but first im going to finish the groundwork for the roofed marketplace, then Im going to make some sort of "lift" (visual only) like on GOT castle black... Its all in my head :p

Ive got a perfect area for it and im not doing terraforming

So maybe ill finish it before 1.0 😄

[faint nebula]

huh. six angerfish decided to throw themselves into my boat. fish-n-bread just in time to set up the Queen.. as soon as I find more dark cores.

[spiral zodiac]

Hello all!

[azure yacht]

Seems like the angerfish got angry at living in the ocean

[frigid gust]

I always thought the puffers were the anger fish...

[rain flare]

The 5* puffer that jumped into my face was definitely an anger fish 🤣

[odd kernel]

Me and my brother accidently stumbled across a smoldering tomb,we haven't turned in the chest yet...

[rain flare]

You should do so 🤩

[odd kernel]

We both died like 3 times each,maybe when we get iron armor and tools we'll turn it in,I mean,it will change up the events pool chances

[rain flare]

True, but it's only 1 skeleton
Use blunt weapons - parry/dodge

The rewards are 100% worth it

35% reduction on ALL stamina use is pretty neat ❤️‍🔥

[odd kernel]

Brenna,skeletons and rancid remains. We have stag breakers,but were probably still going to wait to get iron,maximize or effectiveness hopefully without dying

[heady parcel]

Not a single rancid skelly inside this one, lots of starred regular skellies tho. Brenna was a lovely little boss! 🥰

[smoky quarry]

When frostner keychain in store that DOES frost damage?' I wana use it to cool drinks

[frozen void]

Im sure you can freeze it then put it in your drinks

(Not actual advice)

[odd helm]

I wonder if one could 3d print a food safe icecube mold in the shape of a frostner

[smoky quarry]

If only i had some cryo equipment

[odd helm]

Or one of those plastic icecubes filled with water that you can refreeze over and over

[smoky quarry]

silicone maybe

i got one double mold, makes perfect diamond like ice cubes

dipping a magic hammer in the wiskey sounds even better

[tacit tide]

I may have to do some juggling to get a new base set up near Bonemass and farm some more iron over there

and I may have to do ao couple of extra boat runs to move some more stuff

[smoky quarry]

i like a good, lit road system in the swamps. With pit stops.

[cyan herald]

which role are you looking for?

[tacit tide]

I failed my hype saving throw and got the newest survival craze, but because the controls of that game are so confusing, I am going to get a refund for that so I can concentrate on valheim

and you probably know what game I am refering to, as it's basiclly EVERYWHERE

[vocal rivet]

Clearly Palworld.

[smoky quarry]

every succesful game style will eventually get more arcade style variants for ease, aimed at other players

[tacit tide]

I'll buy it again eventaully once Ig et tired of Valheim

which can randomly be tomorrow or 6 months from now

[hollow wing]

i upgraded cauldron to lvl 3 still not sure what im missing out on here.

the best thing seems black soup but thats lvl 2

so far silver armor seems weaker than maxed out iron armor so im just sticking with it for now

[odd helm]

Maxed out iron should be the same armor as T1 silver, iirc

If you have enough materials to craft and then upgrade a silver set, that should be higher armor

[hollow wing]

maxed out armors seem to cost a lot, i know it took like 120 fo riron lvl 4 (not even maxed out fully some were lvl 3)

not bad, just annoying to find a big mountains biome. most ones i found seem to be small

[cyan herald]

the idea behind the armor levling is that you shouldn't need more than level 1 to beat a biome if your a very good and experienced player

level 2 is cheaper than level 1 because it's suppose to be for the avreage player

[hollow wing]

i dont think maxed out iron is same as t1 silver, let me check

[cyan herald]

whild level 3-4 are for those who need the last bump of numbers to beat the biome boss

[hollow wing]

durability is quite weaker

[grave bone]

Having higher levels of armor significantly increases your chances to survive though

[hollow wing]

yeah i guess i should build some silver armor then. never had my armor break yet

[grave bone]

That's mainly true for light armor. For heavy armor what Smiffe said

[hollow wing]

i'd wanted to build smelters etc near this one mountain i found yesterday. but it doesnt seem to contain that much iron and so ive mined out like 100 and carried em to the base. i am a bit disappointed that Silver does not seem to have much use other than for armor

[grave bone]

Silver weapons are very expensive

[cyan herald]

you should perhaps find the trader and talk to him 👀

[hollow wing]

i guess one thing i should get right away is a silver shield

i still dread going to mountains after getting "You are being Hunted", it is quite annoying

[boreal meadow]

how do i start making my base out of stone?

[gray nexus]

wait what can u sell silver or something

[hollow wing]

ive been meaning to go to the traders but one is on this small patch next to plains and the other quite quite far away

[gray nexus]

I have like 300 I would like to sell

[hollow wing]

gotta create a stonecutter

[rain flare]

No

only rubies, amber, pearl things and silver necklaces

[fathom marsh]

The one to read the public test channel.

[cyan herald]

added

[gray nexus]

sad

[fathom marsh]

Thanks.

[gray nexus]

oh now i see what smiffe was referring to

[formal kraken]

Yay balistae in my base finally. Gonna tune them to trolls lol.

[gray nexus]

soon one of these days I'll venture into mistlands and town of Fudel will be complete

[lucid trail]

ngl im looking for a game to play on

[light moat]

Ah @gray nexus , I have a screenshot of your comfort suggestion, I’d really like to give it to you so you can post it again when suggestions are back up 🙂

[gray nexus]

aye!

Life in valheim is all about stone these days for me. Stone. Stone. Stone.

[light moat]

Sent! Thank you sir!

[frozen void]

Where are you farming stone from?

[gray nexus]

im just afking my greydwarf farm, but i run through it so quickly

[lapis locust]

hey guys

[gray nexus]

Just spent like 8k this morning

[lapis locust]

is the ashelands is out yet ?

[gray nexus]

no

[lapis locust]

kk ty

[fair cairn]

first half of 2024

[frozen void]

I have my mountain quarry. Half way empted maybe lol

[gray nexus]

My pickaxe level is 89.5, I have mined enough things for life

😢

I have used the pickaxe more than my main melee weapon

[frozen void]

Oh i never get that high. I die too much. Mistlands is good for builders though, no mire falling deaths

[gray nexus]

Oh I die a lot too. From gravity half the time. It has slowly down recently but yeah.

I wanna complete this current base before Yagluth for now

Don't want to deal with seeker raids yet and fulings raids are great for black metal farming

Which I still wanna farm a lot of

[sudden canyon]

Good to see the server is coming back up

[summer hinge]

with that, #suggestions is now open

same rules in there as always

[heady parcel]

Clever! Then again, one small part of why I keep my main base in Meadows is that seekers don't raid that far...

[gray nexus]

yep they don't, we have our meadows base. I am currently in process of building the plains base, once it's complete (well as complete as it can be without mistlands stuff) we'll kill yagluth and proceed

[glass parrot]

How much health should I have for the plains and what armor should I wear?

[heady parcel]

Booom I got the first suggestion!

[gray nexus]

depends on ur playstyle. I prefer using padded armor helmet + one piece from padded armor + one from fenris

[heady parcel]

Not that it is original or anything, but alas...

[glass parrot]

I’m using the frostner and black metal shield right now

If that helps

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I'm not in plains yet on this character, but the plan is to just make a farming outpost in the plains and keep it raid free, that way we won't have to deal with anything other than roaming fulings, and a moat takes care of them..

[gray nexus]

honestly im building it in plains because I want it attacked

just not yet

basically I have this wall around

[hollow wing]

found onions

[gray nexus]

overall 80 ballistas are gonna go on it, pew pew all night

[jagged quartz]

still no lobbies?

[gray nexus]

and since it's plains, the ballistas will earn back part of the bolts themselves by killing fulings

[hollow wing]

can a mountain just be too low?

cant seem to find any silver

[gray nexus]

yes

do you see obsidian and drake spawns?

[hollow wing]

i do yeah

wishbone just not pinging at all which it usually is so i guess too low

[sly basin]

Happens

[gray nexus]

Some mountains are just unlucky

[hollow wing]

i hear there are also great caves or something

[gray nexus]

others are too lucky, the first big one I found had 20 veins

[gray nexus]

frost caves yes

[hollow wing]

wtf just happened. i just jumped o na big rock and hit a wolf and it bounced me off the rock

[frozen void]

Mustve played scissors. Classic mistake.

[hollow wing]

found a cave

[frozen void]

Cmon dude

[hollow wing]

do i go inside the cave

[cyan idol]

ffs

ive tried posting it in that one and no one ever answers....

[frozen void]

Its only been a couple minutes

[cyan idol]

just want this DAMN server to be up

[gray nexus]

if you're confident sure, just be careful of cultists and stuff. I used atgeir when I first went it, it worked rather well

[cyan idol]

ok

[hollow wing]

i brought materials for portals. didnt make a portal in the base though... how thoughtful of me

[heady parcel]

I'm scared of everything creepy-crawly out of the mistlands, I really don't want them raining death over my home 😂

[light moat]

Oh, uh, just FYI, the FAQ says unknown channel in the response portion of “do you read suggestions?”

[heady parcel]

Always have an unbound portal in reserve, always!

I call mine "Emergency" so it would just feel awkward to keep using it

[gray nexus]

I just name them E1, E2, E3 for quick typing

[hollow wing]

yeah well dont have that so stuck here til i exploit. then goi back to the ship and go back to the base

not the best idea but it is what it is

[heady parcel]

Yup, those are the best adventures though, when you have no easy escape so you have to roll with it

As inconvenient as it is, my next world will be without portals. I might abandon it, but dangit I'll try

[hollow wing]

well i am near a black forest fortunately so if this mountains is big en ough ill just handle all the smelting forging etc here

[night aspen]

Good evening everyone,
i just reached the bronze age, was about tos swap my blue troll set for bronze armor set, but this -5% movement speed each piece hurts in my opinion. Is it worth?

[frozen void]

No

[light moat]

Imo, it’s not worth it, unless you’re looking to look absolutely fashionable.

[frozen void]

Barely an armor difference

Youll take less damage from being able to move away too

Plus bronze is better spent on tools and weapons

[gray nexus]

bronze armor never worth it, latter heavy vs light armors make sense but bronze vs troll is just eh

[night aspen]

Another question, bronze pickaxe, sword and shield has also -5% movement speed, does that only count if i engage those in hands or all the time in inventory?

[frozen void]

Only when equipped

[night aspen]

i rlly start to love this game 😄

So i should just upgrade my troll armor?

[frozen void]

Your current total movement speed decrease is shown next to the reduction on the item

[gray nexus]

but if you want you can mix bronze and troll by replacing the hood with bronze helmet. The helmet has no movement penalty

[night aspen]

allrighty

[heady parcel]

Oh by the way, is there anything that works for your typical greydwarf spawner stone farm these days? I believe the original fireplace/hearth variants were patched out?

Not that I really need one, I just want to build one to have one...

[gray nexus]

Only when equipped, additionally you can also press R to put your current equipped shield and weapon on your back. The movement penalty is not there for them while on your back and pressing R again quickly equips both again

[frozen void]

Put wolves in the pit?

Theyll die eventually though so youll have to refill

[gray nexus]

You can use hanging brazier or standing brazier if you want to use a fire variant

[heady parcel]

Yeah, preferably something that doesn't involve needing to tame wolves and bring there. If I tame a wolf I won't have the poor mutt chewing greydorfs all day long

[gray nexus]

neither of them take damage when dealing damage to mobs and mobs don't attack them either

[night aspen]

is that bronze helmet worth the loss of troll set bonus sneaking?

[heady parcel]

Great, I'll try that, thanks! Not the end of the world if it is nerfed, I don't mind go farming when I need stuff.

[gray nexus]

do you use sneaking? if yes, then it's not worth. If you don't, why not,

[heady parcel]

Not really if you use sneaking a lot

[night aspen]

well, just if i want to meele those Deers xD

[hollow wing]

can i find silver in frost caves?

[heady parcel]

Well, you can throw spears at deer so you don't have to sneak up on them 😄

[night aspen]

Yeah i know, its just for the fun 😛

Ive been using bow alot on them

[gray nexus]

aight they do count as base structures btw so if you want a raid proof one only build two of them and destroy workbenches etc and box them before afking
though only seeker raids pose any issue if you raise earth wall around
idk if bats attack the nests, but just in case I have the nest protected in a way

[hollow wing]

time to go into the caves then

[gray nexus]

xd

[heady parcel]

If that's the only time you sneak, then the bronze helm will benefit you a little more in combat

[night aspen]

So i guess all the metalic armors got the -% movement speed?

[heady parcel]

Yeah. Some people can't stand that, I like the tanky play style so I'm 100% the heavy armor guy

[gray nexus]

I mix heavy and fenris to get best of both worlds

[heady parcel]

Plus the metal armors look so damn good

[night aspen]

hope there will be alot more better leather gear too 😛

[gray nexus]

good armor + only -2% movement penalty instead of 10%

[heady parcel]

I did quickly drop the tower shields tho, the movement penalty from those is too harsh by far imo

[runic tapir]

broo i can't wait for this update to start playing this game again

[night aspen]

Yeah i thought so, picked that round shield

[light moat]

Same, though I still need to catch up on all the new content 👀

So I suppose I can wait then lol

[heady parcel]

I have so much to do that I couldn't care less about the Ashlands, that's too far off haha

(I do have a couple of characters who are "done" with Mistlands, but I love exploring new worlds too much to let that stop me)

[light moat]

That’s where I’m trying to get, just one world where I’m “caught up” essentially.

[gray nexus]

i'm thinking turning my sealed tower into a portal hub, let's see how that goes

[light moat]

How’s your build going, the one you were working on before?

[heady parcel]

Yeah they're not instanced, so you can build there, right?

[gray nexus]

Lacking stone

The wall is almost 3/4th done tho

[gray nexus]

you can't build inside

[heady parcel]

Oh bugger

[gray nexus]

but you can build around them, they count as ground as in everything is blue iirc

a bit of iron and you can build a circle structure easily around them

and sealed tower happens to be quite tall, the whole reason why I chose this location was coz I wanted it inside base

[gray nexus]

I did get a map for the insides plotted tho, which is nice

[light moat]

Oh nice, huge progress then.

[hollow wing]

looks like im out of luck lol. tough luck crafting a forge in the middle of nowhere.

[light moat]

The plan is the most important part!

[gray nexus]

so i'll be making the roads today so my gf can start work on the house

I think I should add a few small houses just to make it feel like a town

would be weird to call it a town with just 1 house

[hollow wing]

wtf are ulfs

ulvs

[heady parcel]

Wolves, but bigger and nastier, and slightly...er...humanish

[azure yacht]

Wolfier wolves

[heady parcel]

Ulv is an old nordic form of the word for wolf

[frozen void]

Its also just the norwegian word for ulv

Which made translation a bit weird since wolf is ulv

So ulv is varg

[heady parcel]

Yeah exactly, so in some swedish rpgs "ulv" has been used for "bigger badder wolf" basically

Not saying that's why these buggers are "ulv" in Valheim - but since they are indeed bigger and badder, it makes sense

[hollow wing]

well i am about dead die from these fools

fighting 7 of them especially when you thought 3 were all is quite annoying. very stupid mobs though

[heady parcel]

My tip with these guys is to shoot them with your bow before you aggro them, if that's not possible - they are squishy but hit hard, so offence is good

[hollow wing]

they are pretty easy to kill, its just annoying when you dont know how many of them there are

[heady parcel]

yeah

[hollow wing]

i died though so they succeeded

[light moat]

The Ulvs claim another 😔

[hollow wing]

ive just thought of a fantastic way to build a portal back in the base. destroy my beds on this remote island and then rename the portal in the main base. save myself the trouble of going back with the ship

[heady parcel]

Yeah it is easy to take them too easily because they're so squishy, but they hit hard so getting a whole pack on you is bad news

[hollow wing]

yeah they are basically wolves

not sure how this recovery will go but lets see

butt naked now

[heady parcel]

Just the skill drop from dying, but if you don't mind that - yay!

[hollow wing]

well i save myself the trouble of going back with the boat over a pickaxe i cant fix

easy recovery

killed two cultists. very annoying

bonemass ability so far seems to be the most useful

[austere quarry]

yeah it is

[hollow wing]

i assume where their spawners is also where some goodies are?

people say iron and stuff is here. ive not found any yet

[frozen void]

Iron sledge is really strong in caves, plus it easily destroys a lot of stuff you can loot

[hollow wing]

mace seems to be enough. as long as you block, even 3 of them just get stunned

[gray nexus]

atgeir is pretty great against ulv, it staggers them with it's secondary and then you can kill them easily

[hollow wing]

where is all the loot that people speak about though?

[gray nexus]

The only reason I didn't die in my first frost cave is atgeir, I was wearing a piece of root armor too 💀

almost died to cultist before I had my "OHH" moment

[gray nexus]

in frost caves, there pedestals with claws and hair

You can destroy those red curtain things, they drop red jute sometimes

[hollow wing]

what i read is that there are ores too

[gray nexus]

Around the big altars and some other places, there are hair hanging from wall, some are pickable, others are destroyable, both give fenris hair

[frozen void]

Almost anything in caves can be destroyed

[gray nexus]

The blue glowly crystals are all that come to my mind when u say ore

[hollow pine]

sometimes the doors drop iron ingots when you destroy them

[hollow wing]

bronze, iron etc

[merry pebble]

you can get some bronze if you destroy braziers for example, i believe there was some way to get iron too but i could be wrong

[frozen void]

Doors can drop iron, braziers bronze

[gray nexus]

this, and braziers drop bronze sometimes

[frozen void]

Wall hangins drop jute or fenris hair

[gray nexus]

Also a tip for the blue crystals, don't pick them. Destroy them with weapon for more drops.

[hollow wing]

killed the cultists, and died from fire, getting out of here after this recovery. doesnt seem like im missing out on much

got a lot of those hairs and fenris drops

[frozen void]

Only the best armor set in the game

[hollow pine]

also a small tip: if you're not rested anymore in the frostcave, stand near a brazier it'll get you some minutes

[heady parcel]

They don't smoke down the place down there, but put them indoors at home... Unfair!

[hollow wing]

ive not seen any chests in frost caves. are there any?

[hollow pine]

yes

[frozen void]

Theyre a bit rare but yes

[edgy gull]

Anyone wanna play with me its my first time

[frozen void]

#1024264966712340510 would be where to ask. I'd recommend trying it solo first though

[heady parcel]

Yeah, learn it solo - experience it best with friends

[edgy gull]

none of my friends play this and i hate playing by myself lol

[heady parcel]

I'd say still try and learn it solo - then once you feel confident with the basics hit the #1024264966712340510 channel and find some friendly bunch to ride with!

[edgy gull]

Alright im in a solo rn

[heady parcel]

The whole first biome progress - including the boss fight - can be viewed as a very well paced tutorial imo

[edgy gull]

i hate being by myself xD

[hollow wing]

these drakes are the bane of my existence. cant mine without one fool coming to annoy me

[boreal meadow]

how long does the fermenter take to make stuff

[frigid gust]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Fermenter Wiki says two in-game days.

[heady parcel]

Knowing from experience, learning the basics is even harder with another noob by your side - you feed each other misinformation whilst causing the other's death and being in the way...

[wicked kestrel]

the chaos is part of the fun

[foggy bolt]

Hey guys, any tip on rancid remains trophy drop? I have done more than 50 chamber runs, more than half in last 3 days and still zero drop. It's getting really annoying. It's the last trophy what im missing:/ Wanted to get it in normal way without event spam too. Th

[frozen void]

Best way is event spam. Theyve very rare in dungeons

[final oracle]

anyone got room in their server for another person i really like the game but its not as fun without other players around to play the game with

[frozen void]

#1024264966712340510

[foggy bolt]

Wanted to avoid that, but true. I have seen them maybe 7-8 times and still no drop

[frozen void]

Best way is to go in a zone you dont have many raid options

I know your pain though

It took me about 200 golems to get my second trophy

[foggy bolt]

Even did few bonemaster kills and was waiting for event trigger, but for some reason it got triggered on rare case

[near inlet]

ahh finally a suggestions channel to permanently mute

[foggy bolt]

Damn, luckily I got first quite fast and it was enough for me. Thx for input anyways

[ember kraken]

Took me almost 2 years to get my first serpent trophy.

[heady parcel]

Agreed!

[cyan herald]

so next on the list is a stone golem trophy? 😉

[heady parcel]

Still don't have one, I have nearly limitless supplies of serpent stew, but I have never managed to pull one of those things into shallow enough waters

[ember kraken]

Already have 12+ whatever I've gotten in the last game or two.

[cyan herald]

🤯

[near inlet]

i have a GREAT screenshot of what my group did with our first 2 stone golem trophies all the way back in 2019 lol

[heady parcel]

I have found a couple of golem trophies too, they went in the obliterator

[near inlet]

but i don't think it's appropriate for this discord 🤣

[ember kraken]

Haha, I just stuff everything into my "Wall of Shame". Which is just a gigantic wall of chests, and I feel shameful everytime I look at it, as I realise how much time I've spent on this game >_<

[rain flare]

How many cultists would it take on average to get a trophy?

We've gone through about 14 caves and not a single one

We killed at least 2 cultists in each cave and one had 6

[frozen void]

Man, you were playing in alpha version?

[ember kraken]

Trophy is a 10% drop chance. But as normal, Random is random, and average is no guarantee.

[heady parcel]

I have cleared about 10 caves on this world and gotten 4 of them, so I'd wager the drop rate should be about 10-20%

[near inlet]

oop you're right i just found it and it was 2020

[rain flare]

I know, but..........
DAMN 🤣

[near inlet]

got it confused with another game i was playing in 2019

[frozen void]

Early access came out on this day in 2021

[near inlet]

im trying to find the subreddit post

[frozen void]

Youve been on this discord since 17th February 2021 lol

[near inlet]

redidt says 2y ago

oh god, 2021 was 2 years ago

[frozen void]

3 years

[near inlet]

THREE

[heady parcel]

This current world I am playing in seems to be rich in the rare things - tetra ponds, silver, rare trophies. I get attacked by serpents every single damn time I sail too far from shore at night. I mean literally, I can't cross a channel with like a 10 meter wide bit of ocean without a serpent coming for me

[near inlet]

i think im losing my mind

[heady parcel]

I have stew enough for a year ahead

[plush umbra]

If you're struggling I'd google seeds with large mountain biomes near spawn, then jump into the world with longship materials/portal materials/ build a small portal house at spawn then just clear the mountain biomes

[near inlet]

oh god remember when you could raise ground for only 1 stone by clicking on the edge of the ground you were raising instead of down at the bototm

those were the days

[frozen void]

Valheim early access turned 3 years today lol

[near inlet]

yeah i did not play alpha or beta i played when it dropped on steam

[heady parcel]

Hahahah I watched a video about that and like, ffs you LIAR!!!

[rare birch]

holy crap I just caught a 2 star wolf in a pit in the mountians. Advice to tame it?

[near inlet]

all of the videos about how to modify the terrain are 2 years old and have that now-incorrect information in them 😬

[near inlet]

throw it some meat quickly before the daytime so it doesn't despawn

[heady parcel]

Yep, if a video gives any kind of advice I check its date immediately!

[near inlet]

worse, remember when there was no way to delete items

i think my only gripe in my steam review of the game was about that lol

[heady parcel]

And keep it angry, I think it needs to be aggroed at dawnbreak or it will despawn, even if it has started taming. Or am I wrong?

[hot fern]

there's always been a way to delete items, though

[near inlet]

i think once taming starts its despawn flags are removed

[hot fern]

you could just drop them in a trash hole away from workbenches, eventually those items will all get unloaded.

[heady parcel]

Awesome, thanks

Will make lox taming a bit less nasty

[near inlet]

our trash hole was throwing items off the side of the boat mid-ocean whenever we went sailling

[fickle parcel]

Plus there are trash mods that are nice

[hot fern]

what?...

[fickle parcel]

Yeah it’s sick

[frozen void]

Throw meat into it. Tame another wolf at the same time and breed until you have at least 4, cover with multi lsyer roof so drakes cant one shot them

[hot fern]

that seems like a busted trash hole.

[near inlet]

pollutionheim

[hot fern]

hold on

[rare birch]

It's taming. I had to portal to get some meat for it

[hot fern]

i need clarification. You say that.. your trash hole.. was throwing items... off the side of the boat, mid-ocean

Where is your trash hole located? Inside of your boat?

[near inlet]

the trash hole was the entire ocean

[heady parcel]

I did actually mine a channel from a huge tar pit all the way down to the ocean, then I saw what happened and felt a little bad

[fickle parcel]

Did my mans discover the valheim worm hole of trash?

[hot fern]

...i see

[near inlet]

whenever we went sailing somewhere, when we first set off we'd fill our inventories with crap, throw it off on the way there, and then ofc on the way back we'd all be full up on metal and loot and such

[fickle parcel]

Nice going, BP.

[hot fern]

but, again, items in the ocean would just despawn eventually 🙂

that's like the perfect strategy, no hole needed.

[near inlet]

probably, but idk if sailing over the same route multiple times would keep them from doing so. Idk how far down the bottom of the ocean is in valheim lol

[hot fern]

no, it doesn't

the only thing that stops despawns are player buildings, like workbenches, torches, campfires, etc

the player's presence themselves doesn't do it

as far as i understand, at least

[hollow wing]

what is the best arrow/bow combination for one shotting these god forsaken drakes?

[merry pebble]

well if you are in mountains i think you should make draugrs fang and obsidian arrows 😄

[frozen void]

I use draugr fang and wood arrows. Sneak attacks usually oneshots

Two shots if alerted

[hollow wing]

jeez louis, 707 silver to max out the armor?

[merry pebble]

should be 166

[frozen void]

To max everything created by silver

[fickle parcel]

just need a sword kinda

[hollow wing]

ah ok

thought it was armor so didntm ake sense, i know it was around 140 for iron

and do people just farm wolves for meat in mountains?

[heady parcel]

Can't speak for others, I just kill the ones who try to kill me, and that keeps my coffers full of meat..

[hollow pine]

i do

[frozen void]

i generally get enough passively by just being in the mountains, if not i cull some of the tamed

[heady parcel]

I never even felt the need to tame any

[frozen void]

they are good defense at home

[heady parcel]

And, I'd feel weird about keeping wolves for food anyway

[hollow wing]

so i gotta get 400 silver for maxed out armor for me and my friend i guess

[hollow wing]

i wouldnt. best meat

im thinking my best recourse if i get hunted again is to trap the pack in a hole

[heady parcel]

No qualms about cooking wolves I kill in the field, but I have this irrational distate for trying to "farm" them

[hollow wing]

i dont even have a boar farm. wanted to do that but never did

[heady parcel]

I tried to lure wolves into one of the pits left my silver mining, but all that got me was one very angry golem and some confused wolves

When you guys capture wolves, do you do that in the mountains or kite them down to the forest?

[hollow wing]

i think people probably keep them in the forest, because i dont know how you would survive stone golem drake attacks etc

[formal kraken]

either whichever is easier to build. BF will have less issues with new spawns

[tacit tide]

I play on passive

I find constantly being attacked way too stressful

[frozen void]

I dont move them until i have at least 4

[hollow wing]

what is the best weapon against these stone pricks?

[rare birch]

Ok 2 star wolf made it through the night and the next day. Totally covert the pit with a roof. Threw in like 10 boar meat. I am in a cabin next door. Will wolves attack the cabin. They seem to when I was capturing the 2 star

[rare birch]

dig a pit and trap them

[frozen void]

Iron mace

[hot fern]

i just wanna kill this tar pit and GET THIS TAR, GIVE IT TO ME BLOBS!

[azure yacht]

Iron mace.

Or use an iron pickaxe on top of them (but only works on the spiked golems)

[hollow wing]

yeah i use iron mace pickaxe seems to risky

[azure yacht]

But satisfying

[frozen void]

If you perfectly parry them you can stunock them to death

[heady parcel]

Pickaxe could never be a recommended weapon. That's for someone who's learned their patterns and can survive botching it up now and then...

[frozen void]

A sneak special attack with iron mace does half its health, but then you have spot it and sneak up on it

[frigid gust]

Golems are fun. Dodge roll with the iron mace directly at them when they attack, then do the secondary/uppercut attack, and it will stun them and they crumble quickly

[azure yacht]

That's bc you've never killed one without it being able to hit you at all

[hollow wing]

so when the wishbone picks i usually dig if its pinging fast, i am not sure what the ping means if its weak, do i dig down or keep moving forward?

[heady parcel]

Which brings me back to my statement - it is recommended only for the ones with the necessary skills to pull it off - for anyone else it means death.

[merry pebble]

go search around for place where it pings faster 😄

[azure yacht]

Fear of success

[late moss]

Are there any further developments?

[frozen void]

If its a grave, itll keep pinging even if you find the buried skeleton, but wont happen again if you come back

[frigid gust]

Weak means you're nearby and walking in the general direction of the vein. Just slowly turn and search until it's fast.

[merry pebble]

to what?

[late moss]

to the game

[azure yacht]

On infrastructure

[merry pebble]

well ashlands should be up in the first half of this year 😄

[vocal rivet]

Ack, patchnotes is empty of course. This is going to get frustrating.

[formal kraken]

Soon™️

[late moss]

thank you

[merry pebble]

better than what we had before they announced this 😄

[formal kraken]

Dude I would tell them to delay if it meant more polish.

[merry pebble]

i can fully understand that

[formal kraken]

I'm in no hurry. Just discovered hens and balistae. Was so engrossed in magic I missed it all. The base is getting tetris'd with more stuff.

[azure yacht]

That means there aren't new updates so it still works to answer those kind of questions

[regal spoke]

I stand with you on that.

[vocal rivet]

Well, no, there COULD have been updates since people last visited so there would have been something useful there.

[heady parcel]

Always. Good shit is better than unfinished crap, without doubt.

[regal spoke]

Valheim and it's community are second to none. I'll be here either way

[hollow wing]

what is the chance of me killing this shitty mob named drake by jumpin gwith a mace?

[regal spoke]

Gotta record that

[heady parcel]

Time it right and you have a story to tell!

[merry pebble]

slim... tho i would LOVE to see it 😄

[hollow wing]

and why do they keep spawning? is the egg the spawner or what?

[regal spoke]

Seems so

[heady parcel]

Yeah, the egg site is like a spawn ground

Usually 1-3 around any egg spot

[vocal rivet]

Nests are one time spawns.

[heady parcel]

The eggs are of course to get the attention of their Moder

[regal spoke]

Idk that don't seem accurate Derek. The nest may be but, I've seen them be in proximity after multiple clears. Built a recent rock camp near one.

[vocal rivet]

Yes, I'm positive. Nests aren't the only way of drakes spawning.

[hollow wing]

transporting ore in mountains seems the most annoying thing

[vocal rivet]

You guys are aware the game has physical spawners, one time spawners (like the nests and boarstones etc) and zone spawners (these ones never stop)

[hollow pine]

i try to build a base at the bottom of the Mountains and just throw the ore from a good point above it 😅

[merry pebble]

the nests are just like troll caves one time spawners, but they have higher spawn chance than trolls outside the troll caves

[regal spoke]

So the repeated drake spawns at a nest are...potentially coincidental to a zone spawn? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding

[vocal rivet]

Correct, those will be zone spawns.

[regal spoke]

Cool

I stand enlightened and stocked with glands

[hollow wing]

i mean i keepgetting attacked by drakes, and then i gotta carry silver ore back and forth to the chest

[fervent rampart]

is there like a valheim plus menu? very new to modding and I want to see the features / how I can work with the mod

[rare birch]

I put a workbench next to 2 Drakes nest and it seemed to really cut down on them spawning. Maybe my imagination

[merry pebble]

i think this should go to #mods-discussion or #mods-issues 😄

[regal spoke]

Are you mining higher on the mountain and lugging ore to boat

[hollow pine]

i see i see... yip, thats annoying

[regal spoke]

I like to employ portals and carts or bring forge and smelters around to each node?

[lapis depot]

Cart yeet off the side ftw

[rare birch]

The 2 star wolf is tamed. I have a bunch of regular wolves not far away. Gonna bring a few so I can start breading and get more 2 stars. This is the most excited I have been in weeks lol.

[hollow wing]

Have chests and store silver there

[regal spoke]

Congrats. Nice work.

If I'm not mistaken only two 2* will guarantee 2* cubs? Someone correct me if I'm wrong

[heady parcel]

Yeah, but sooner or later you'll get a 2* cub and you can off all the others. It's a nasty game...

[regal spoke]

Indeed

[rare birch]

Thanks. I was really just getting ready to look for one and this one showed up before I was really ready. Some how I managed to trap it though

[regal spoke]

Stone or raised earth pens?

[heady parcel]

I never bothered to tame wolves because I don't really have a use for it. I have my base in meadows so I don't need them for defence, wolves hunt me regularly so I don't need to breed them for food...

[rare birch]

I dug a deep pit. Then added spike wall for extra safety

[rare birch]

The wolves by my meadow base(close to BF) are a huge source of eyes, resin, stone. Stuff is laying every where each day

[regal spoke]

2* wolves will be the way as you progress and raids/nights provide more dangers

[glass parrot]

What’s the best weapon in the game?

[merry pebble]

depends for what

[hot fern]

wonder when the VCs will come back 😄

[glass parrot]

For against any enemy or at least most

[shrewd gate]

Club is pretty decent as around the time damage types actually start mattering, the clubs at that tier are excellent. IE around swamp time blunt force will get you through them, silver you get frostner which is frankly great all the way through.

[merry pebble]

clubs and swords i would say @glass parrot

[shrewd gate]

However I like the atgeir as the special attack is excellent for handling large hordes of enemies.

[glass parrot]

Alright is the atgeir harder to use than clubs and swords?

[shrewd gate]

Yes as it uses more stamina, and it's not as good at blocking as a shield+weapon.

On the other hand once you master the trick of using the special attack, it's pretty overpowered.

[merry pebble]

are you a new player?

[glass parrot]

Yeah first playthrough

[shrewd gate]

Special attack hits everyone in a circle and staggers them. The trick is to not immediately spam it again for that staggered bonus, but instead just pace yourself with your attacks to keep them at bay forever.

[merry pebble]

then i would really suggest to start with club/sword/axe+round shield, i would say thats kinda the optimal stuff for new players 😄

[shrewd gate]

Agreed.

[jovial summit]

3rd boss is a pain

[glass parrot]

Alright

[merry pebble]

yeah, i had problem with him on first playthrough too 😄

[shrewd gate]

Regardless of what item you're maining, bonemass pretty much requires you make a mace.

[merry pebble]

its the best weapon for him 😄

[jovial summit]

thanks! (if anyone would like to help i would GREATLY appreciate it) 😉

[plush umbra]

Imma use arrows

[merry pebble]

ooooof, gonna take long 😄 unles you use frost and even then

[shrewd gate]

That would have to be the most painful way I can imagine to do it.

Short of fists or full-pacifism.

[plush umbra]

I’ve only done it arrows besides one time I did melee

But that was a few updates ago apparently it’s a lot harder to use bows

I only did the melee on this version with friends and he died like instantly so idk what he’ll be like solo

I’m excited to fight him on very hard though and for that I don’t care how long arrows take I’m hiding

[regal spoke]

It's challenging solo at normal and above

[shrewd gate]

Bring lots, then.

[merry pebble]

don´t take longer than hour 😄

[shrewd gate]

It is important to note that enemy health scales with number of players online. Not sure if damage does too.

[plush umbra]

What happens after an hour?

[shrewd gate]

Nighttime

[plush umbra]

Pfft I’ll be in the trees and wraiths are pansies

[vocal rivet]

Night time happens twice in a hour.

[plush umbra]

But then again I haven’t fought a wraith on very hard hmmm

[merry pebble]

enemies regen 100% of health per hour (at least on normal 😄 )

[shrewd gate]

"wraiths are pansies" says the dude hiding in a tree with his arrows.

[plush umbra]

Doesn’t help I’m also on hardcore so I’m an extra pansy

[plush umbra]

I’m trying not to lose all of my gear anymore bear with me 😭 I’m not good at the game

[regal spoke]

But knowing the fight is a big difference too. When to parry and dodge roll makes the difference

[plush umbra]

Wraiths can be pansies while I’m also a pansy

[regal spoke]

Wait until a fresh day and kick it off

[plush umbra]

The real question is will I find bonemass first on my tileman run or my max slider run

Either way I’ll be a pansy in the trees more than likely

[regal spoke]

Just get on the skull if you're cheesing lol

[merry pebble]

anyway i am going to bed, good night an good luck yall 😄

[regal spoke]

Sleep well o7

[plush umbra]

I guess I could practice him on a normal world before attempting on very hard but eeehhhhh

[azure yacht]

It does

[regal spoke]

I was of the understanding that, scaling was player proximity. Not simply online

[hot fern]

^

[shrewd gate]

I don't know for certain on that score. I know that boss drops tend to scale based on who's online.

[vocal rivet]

Within 100m.

[hot fern]

true, like the wishbones i think?

but that doesn't have anything to do with the monsters power.

[shrewd gate]

Good to know. I'm honestly jonesing to start a new vanilla playthrough, but I also prefer joining a valheim community with a new dedicated server. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a likely candidate in the servers-and-lfg thread.

[hot fern]

You may want to look into starting up a server yourself and listing it in there for others! It's not too hard at all.

[shrewd gate]

While I have hosted a dedicated server before, I've determined my laptop is not really capable of handling it consistently.

[hot fern]

true

[regal spoke]

Had an idea for a nomad run as a group. Only utility building no home base.

[hot fern]

If you have computer parts for a PC around, even though it may be old, it could likely be turned into a server to run a valheim dedicated, just a heads up

It doesn't cost too many resources, and it doesn't need something like a 4080 to run

it runs headless 🙂

[shrewd gate]

Unfortunately I don't really have the spare cash nor computer parts for that.

[hot fern]

You may want to check out some of the well-known communities out there, in case they fit your needs. There is Comfy Valheim, Jotunnheim

They run some bigger servers and have a lot organized, not sure if they're listed here, especially with the recent debacle that screwed with the Discord

(they might just not have reposted yet or something)

[plush umbra]

That would be really cool tbh. I can see 5 people with carts traveling together

[shrewd gate]

jotunheim looks pretty good, kevver, thanks for the heads up.

[plush umbra]

War of wolves has been a really nice community to me

They’ve got different groups at different progressions though and do things like spawn iron piles so the map doesn’t run out which is nice but not everyone’s cup of tea

[prisma python]

So far, I leveled up my Knife skills to 10 just by butchering animals.

[regal spoke]

Seems there is, a good amount of great community servers out there

[olive relic]

I think it works this way but I wanted to check in to make sure. Killing a boss is what can add the additional event when you kill it. Not the action of setting the trophy at the original spawn point, right?

[vocal rivet]

Once you've killed the boss.

[olive relic]

Copy, thank you!

[vocal rivet]

Mounting the trophy gives you access to the Forsaken Power.

[regal spoke]

The trigger lies in the declaration upon slaying I'd imagine?

[olive relic]

That's what I thought. That killing a boss adds that event to the random roll table that happens every 45-ish minutes.

[regal spoke]

Raid events right

[olive relic]

correct

[tardy coral]

By butchering you mean killing them?

Do I get more resources for using a knife or something

[prisma python]

The butchering knife is designed to kill tamed animals and cannot hurt enemies.

[tardy coral]

Oh I see

[white falcon]

Can you attack as a lox while riding a lox

[dawn quail]

The one thing I don’t understand is how come, you never have any stamina to attack. Like you can only attack twice doing the combo and then you’re out of stamina for good like it’s crazy

[frigid gust]

You need different food. Higher level weapons use more stamina, you need to upgrade your meals as well as your gear

[tepid pike]

And make sure you always have 3 foods eaten

[scenic nexus]

Will mods be able to revive #builds channels ?

[frigid gust]

No. Just stop directing them and they'll attack on their own.

[shrewd gate]

While I agree with the follow-ups on the importance of good food and managing your stamina, it is a little goofy that this viking warrior who was considered the cream of the crop in Valhalla can run for maybe 10 seconds before getting winded, and will drown if trying to swim across anything larger than a puddle.

[tacit tide]

so, I may need to move my base closer to better swamp land, is it easier just to farm new mats in a new location or to keep going back and forth to get the stuff from my old base?

[shrewd gate]

Well if you're only in bronze age than it would be easier to farm new materials, I would just concentrate on bringing ore.

[tacit tide]

Iron*

[frozen void]

Most of the stuff can be teleported

[shrewd gate]

Sorry, metals*. If you're already in the iron age it sounds like more trouble than it's worth, honestly.

[frozen void]

And thr longship can fit 18 stacks in the hull

[tacit tide]

not sure if I have the long ship or not

[glass parrot]

I’m trying to build beams below where my roof is going to be but it keeps getting destroyed whenever I place

[frozen void]

Longship needs iron and a wood type from swamp

Personally i always make a central base then teleport and sail sruff back home

One swamp isnt gonna be anywhere close to enough iron

[shrewd gate]

If you're trying to attach to the underside and then quickly build down to the ground, that can be difficult. Better to build up from the ground below.

[glass parrot]

I’m supposed to build up?

[shrewd gate]

Basically a building piece's structural integrity is based on how many building pieces separate it from the ground. You can see how stable the building piece is with the hammer equipped; blue is attached to the ground, then it goes from bright green to red. Past red the building is too far from the ground and breaks.

So if you've built, say walls and then roof pieces to the point where they're red, and you're trying to add support to the roof pieces, placing beams attached to said roof pieces will break since they're so far from the ground. You'll want to start from the ground and then build up until they intersect with the roof piece you're trying to reinforce.

Log poles made from core wood (a type of wood you get from pine trees in the black forest biomes) are great for structural supports since they're the largest, meaning less build pieces to get from the ground to where you're supporting.

[glass parrot]

Oh okay thank you

[fiery monolith]

wait so would log beams be as effective as the iron supported beams when building higher up ?

[hidden wing]

yes, and use iron to reinforce

[frozen void]

No. Iron loses stability slower than anything else

Iron can go 50 meters from the ground

[tacit tide]

only took forever, but I am off!

out in the deep blue

OH MY GOD, I AM AN IDIOT

I forgot my bees...

[weak cypress]

Nothing's better than a tree, though. Well, except maybe a tree on dirt wall

[tacit tide]

can we build makeshift docks?

[tepid pike]

you can build most anything you want 🙂

Issues with modded games should go in #mods-issues, the main channels are strictly for vanilla Valheim.

I miss the seeds channel 🫤

[odd helm]

It's under construction atm, no worries~

[sweet seal]

what was the new update

[rain flare]

Yeeeeeeeah I know
Don’t want to if can help it 🙈

Just wish we had more cultist raids so we can kill them 🔥

[plush umbra]

I feel the pain, just discovered those festering skeletons from tombs only show up in raids after killing the fifth*? boss and I'm not grinding out tombs for a head lol

[faint nebula]

their trophy makes a great light source

[plush umbra]

Does anyone know the space a windmill needs around it to be "unobstructed" for example a 10x10 meter square?

[regal spoke]

perhaps just no trees or large rocks. ive placed them up against stone walls and been fine

[plush umbra]

Okay cool, I've got them in what feels to be an open area but the wind is just not blowing I suppose

[regal spoke]

put ||barley|| in it

[plush umbra]

Oh I did haha, I am in the process of moving bases from one world to another and just shoved my windmills on my island meadows base

tragically I'm gonna have to wait while each of them grinds out a full stack of barley at like (and I'm not joking here), 1 per minute

[regal spoke]

they take a bit for sure.

[plush umbra]

I hear plains has the most wind so once I get there/ a portal set up they'll be back to full speed. My last base was in the meadows and was processing barley at a rate of like 4-8 per minute it feels like, so I am surprised how slow it's going, but they are barely catching any wind compared to my last base. I'm not sure if it's simply the location of like "shallows" around the maedows or being surrounded by all sides on water, or simply a bad day but I have yet to see them performe this poorly, thanks for the response though.

[fiery monolith]

whats the highest comfort level

[plush umbra]

16 before holiday items, 18 after I think? The wiki has a page on it

[fiery monolith]

okay so 14 is considerabley good then, right ?

[regal spoke]

21min rest buff?

[fiery monolith]

i accidentally broke me yuletide tree and didnt get the blueprint

yeah 21 minutes btw

[plush umbra]

Yes. 2 for being sheltered near a fire, 1 for a rug, 2 for a round table/log heavy table, 1 for a banner, 2 for a hearth (fire), 3 for a throne, 2 for a dragon bed, 2 for a hot tub, 1 for an armor stand, 1 for a may pole, and 1 for a yule tree.

[regal spoke]

no print for yule just seasonal unlock

[fiery monolith]

i think i broke it after the seasonal thing so i didnt get it as a recipie

[regal spoke]

yea. can be done in debug

[fiery monolith]

okay i see

do they have stuff for other holidays besides halloween and christmas ?

[regal spoke]

im not sure honestly

[dense fractal]

does anyone wanna play valheim]

no kids tho

[vale plinth]

How far in the world are you?

Hello I'm a Xbox player looking for anyone with modded gear they are willing to give/dupe for/trade me. Feel free to dm me

[quartz plank]

Ashland, haven't out yet.

[ionic owl]

Hey looking to play with a few people if I can please.

[lunar sapphire]

The #1024264966712340510 channel has servers you can look through and decide to join 😛

[gray nexus]

Summer, you can build maypoles

[half ice]

how do i get to check the version of my map again?

[spice drift]

Hey

[tacit tide]

even though I am playing on easy, it's still complicated to build a new base, lots of work

is tehre a way to switch wood used to build a house?

[odd marsh]

damn the snow biome is bright when its snowing

[plush umbra]

Try turning off bloom if you have it on!

[odd marsh]

well that helped, ima just leave it on xD i want the full immersion with the snow blindness LMAO

[plush umbra]

Can you show a screenshot?

[odd marsh]

it stopped didnt get a chance to screenshot it

looked like a snow blizzard

or maybe it was

[merry pebble]

Mornin Gjall 😄

[odd marsh]

mornin!

gotta love trasnporting ores by boat

[merry pebble]

it is very calming indeed 😄 (until you run into snek XD)

[odd marsh]

I pray that Odin sends forth a favorable wind

[half dragon]

just stay close to coast and no snek

and if have to cross the ocean, try make it as brief as possible

[odd marsh]

i just avoid night time and travel by day xD

[half dragon]

think it's about time I return back to Valheim, but have to wonder how soon next big update would be

I'd prefer starting fresh when a big one hits

[odd marsh]

same, my current run had 3 elder altars all of them are almost at the end of thr map 💀

[half dragon]

that's just pain...

can't help but checking out seeds before selecting one and actually playing, mostly because I want to make sure there is a location I would like for building the main base.

Requirements for that would be along the lines of no multiple biomes visible from base

and that it's in plains

[odd marsh]

plains seems to be the best, can plant crops too, unlike the mountain biome love the scenery but seeds dont seem to grow

[half dragon]

yea. And blizzards in mountains... not sure if they are still a problem like they were some year or 2 ago, causing massive drop in performance

[odd marsh]

imagine making a mainbase in mistlands 💀 . the blizzard just happened looks pretty and bright doesnt seem to cause my potato laptop some issues they mightve fixed it already

[half dragon]

the only thing about plains that is frustrating are the skeeters. I had built a really nice and well protected base I ensured was protected from enemies spawning within my camp... but that doesn't stop those flying assholes from finding their way in and randomly skewer my ass

[merry pebble]

spawnproofing time it is then 😄

[half dragon]

btw, how does everyone like doing portal network? I usually just find a small island in the middle of ocean, then widen it and build the portal hub on top of it. no way for enemies to bother me there

[merry pebble]

i just make portals leaning on walls of my house 😄

[half dragon]

I originally built a portal tower with multiple floors but I eventually ran out of space... so I got that portal hub idea from that

[odd marsh]

A portal room connected to the storage room thats what i do im too lazy to walk around just to place random mats

[merry pebble]

i also made them on my house just for convinience 😄

[half dragon]

I'd do that too, but I usually end up with quite many portals connected to different locations

[odd marsh]

in my main world i just have 1 portal to my main base and just rewrite the portal name to the other portals

[merry pebble]

the most i ever really needed was 12 portals i think

[half dragon]

I'm just too lazy to memorize them lol

or write down...

[odd marsh]

make taht 3 other 2 for emergencies xD

i just name it in the map, its pretty useful if youre lazy 😂

[frozen void]

Portal hub under elder altar

[half dragon]

I still do keep a few portals in the main base that do not go to the hub, such as portal for adventuring. I always setup a portal if I land my ship somewhere so I can return quickly if I die

[odd marsh]

same i do that aswell just to make sure i survive 💀

[half dragon]

nothing more frustrating than doing a long voyage of shame to retrieve your gear 😂

[odd marsh]

if only it wasnt like almost at the edge of the map

[frozen void]

All of them?

[half dragon]

one time I didn't even have a second ship ready... so had to grind materials for 2nd ship to go and rescue the first ship and my gear

[odd marsh]

all 3 are almost at the edge of the map

[frozen void]

Anyway, i usually just make a portal house in base, then have a few essential portals in resting house

[merry pebble]

there should be 4 iirc

[frozen void]

Yeah but vegvisirs show the closest one always

[merry pebble]

could you maybe share the seed?

[half dragon]

but I've learned from my mistakes... these days I always have 2nd backup gear set ready to retrive my stuff. Died a few times in a bad spot where the enemies just refused to stop camping my gear and they were numerous and strong.

so eventually decided that I'd better just have gear ready to fight my way to my gear

[frozen void]

I remember one of my biggest woopsies ive had was fighting moder

[merry pebble]

did you fall of the edge? 😄

[frozen void]

She chased me a bit, then landed next to the hut with my portal

Then ice beamed the portal lol

[half dragon]

☠️

[frozen void]

I managed to kill her tho

[half dragon]

would have been hilarious if also died after portal got destroyed

[odd marsh]

dunno where the last one is. bet its almost at the edge aswell, seed is azx9rTWVdz

[merry pebble]

oh, i see it, closest one is around 5200 meters from spawn 🥲

[gray nexus]

that is one unlucky seed lol

[merry pebble]

it has some interesting ocean generation 😄 there are not any BIG oceans really, looks almos like really big rivers 😄 i like it

[odd marsh]

welp gotta love the challenge, but the plains made me feel paranoid, me who only had bronze gear

[gray nexus]

Also that island to the left of spawn

that is huuugggeee

[merry pebble]

but lets not talk about it too much so we dont spoil 😄

[gray nexus]

yeah

[frozen void]

Island shapes arent randomly generated

[odd marsh]

👀 to the left i see im, making a u turn and going to the other side of the world

[merry pebble]

i never really looked into world generation, sorry if i said some nonsense XD

[frozen void]

Nah its fine lol. I just meant that your seed cuts out a circle out of a premade map, then slaps a biome map and a river map over it, then randomizes spawns

[merry pebble]

oooooh, good to know thanks 😄

[tacit tide]

so it seems that going to the swamp where I summoned bonemass keeps Bonemass around, I may have to go to another island to avoid it

or maybe run in, get to a cave to mine some iron, and run out

[odd marsh]

accidentally summoned it huh xD

[half dragon]

would prefer a mix or rivers and larger oceans

would make the world look a bit more diverse

would be nice if there were some options for world generation, like larger biomes + larger bodies of water

[odd marsh]

love it when my longship surfs a bigass storm wave lol

[tardy coral]

Yo I just found a greydwarf in the meadows, is that normal?

[frozen void]

These bots were made for walking~

Also if youve killed eikthyr theyll spawn in meadows at night

[tardy coral]

Oh ok

[cyan herald]

*boots

😉

[frozen void]

You and me, the typo bros

[heady parcel]

I love sailing in storms, it's so well made it is almost silly. The sound, the spray, boat getting tossed this way and that, absolutely love it! Until a damn serpent sees a chance for payback. Bloody fell off the ship once while trying to shoot a serpent in full storm...

[nova verge]

I have an idea, how to add in hard mode that after u got killed, humanise mob could wear your armour and weapon, so u should killed him to get it back

[cyan herald]

[heady parcel]

Is it possible to summon a boss again if it is already active? I vaguely remember someone telling they spawned Moder, got their arses whooped, and when they came back she was gone. So they spawned her again and started fighting - and the first one showed up and joined the fray. So that mountain ended up having two angry Moders patrolling it... I dunno if it is even possible still?

[old echo]

hi

[tardy coral]

How do I unlock carts?

[heady parcel]

Bronze nails

[tardy coral]

Zamn

[old echo]

10 bronze nails, 20 wood

[frozen void]

Bosses dont despawn, though they might wander a bit

But you can resummon at different locations or after killing

[tardy coral]

Would it be a good idea to build a house under an oak tree?

[heady parcel]

But not at the same altar (while still alive) I take it? So that anectdote was either false or a bug?

[old echo]

depends, are you using it as a feature?

[tardy coral]

Feature?

[old echo]

like what benefit are you getting from building it under a tree

[tardy coral]

Aesthetics

[old echo]

is it going to be supporting your structure

[old echo]

or this

[heady parcel]

Trees work as foundations, so it is a good way to build tall. But a troll raid could easily spell utter doom

[old echo]

i mean you can

but yeah that tree gets felled by something and your house gets flattened

[tardy coral]

Like 100% flattened? 😭

[old echo]

probably not 100%

[heady parcel]

Anything depending on the tree for support will fall

[tardy coral]

It won't depend on the tree

[heady parcel]

Then all that will happen is the log causing some damage, that is minor

[old echo]

depends how the tree falls

[frozen void]

I think you can summon two at the same time

[tardy coral]

I can't decide where to build my base

I'm next to a nice pond, but the sorrounding area is kinda lame

[heady parcel]

I am tempted to do that on my world then, just for fun. Get two moders spawned and leave, next time someone climbs that mountain they're in for a surprise...
