valheim-chat

[plush umbra]

Well it happened 7 days ago idk if I’d say it’s been back for a week

[fervent mulch]

it came back the day it happened i think if not right after

[olive spruce]

val heim

[ivory seal]

oh hey server is back

[gray nexus]

[lost sentinel]

why the fuck did i glitch through the floor in the queen fight and now im falling for eternity

[strange arrow]

O.o, you may have found the Queen's escape route for when she manages to get out

[plush umbra]

technically not eternity. dungeons are just waaaay up in the sky.
unequipping the feather cape would help you get down faster....just not safely. wouldn't recommend doing that if you have less than 100 max hp.

[merry pebble]

Mornin Gjall 😄

[paper marsh]

is it difficult to put it back on in time?

[rain flare]

Not really not

It’s a LOOOOONG way up.

[gray nexus]

how much farther up are they, compared to yggdrasil 🤔

[plush umbra]

i think the dungeon interior is about 5000 meters above the dungeon entrance.
the lowest part of yggdrasil's branch that's still above valheim is iirc around Y 1000, no idea how high the highest is, but definitely below the dungeon interiors still.

[plush umbra]

Outside of multiplayer, are there any situations you all use tower shields?

[paper marsh]

Only now trying out the hildr dungeons. 1 star ghosts feel weird but i luv it

[paper marsh]

Nope (I mean they're good if you wanna farm block skill somewhere but otherwise meh)

[plush umbra]

Damn I do love being a walking wall of armor

At least we have the GS and Atgeir

[toxic rose]

What about ping?

[paper marsh]

idk. I've only ever played with a couple friends and never had ping be an issue with them

Just truly trying out the flesh rippers now and tbh they're not that bad. I always just looked at their stats and was like "meh" but they got some unique properties and I kinda like them. Only sad thing is the block seems quite suckish

[plush umbra]

I need to try them as well but I'm too preoccupied reworking my base

[paper marsh]

I just found out that they have a 2 hit combo unlike basically every other weapon that has a 3 hit combo

so every other hit you get 3x the regular damage

[plush umbra]

Second hit does more dmg I assume? very nice

[paper marsh]

On a parry tho they get 40 something block armor tho, compared to my silver shield that gets 120ish :/

Seems like they're meant for that high speed evasive backstabbing gameplay tho, not tanking hits to the ~~face ~~ shield

[plush umbra]

Ah yeah I wondered if you had 100 block how well they'd carry into end game but that's unfortunate

Does parrying increase block armor at all or does it just run off of the base block armor stat?

[paper marsh]

Everything has a "block armor" stat. So whenever you block, it basically just means your armor to tank that hit is your regular armor (from helmet, chest, pants, cape) + the block armor of the shield or weapon you are using. If you parry, the block armor on the shield/weapon gets multiplied by a certain number. For shields parrying typically multiplies block armor by 3, on flesh rippers it multiplies by 6

But flesh rippers have so low starting block armor that even though it gets increased to SIX TIMES its usual value, it's still barely anything

[rain flare]

Always

[rain flare]

You have 3 stat sets to keep in mind for shields:
Block force - knockback
Block armor - damage reduction
Parry - block force multiplier

Tower shields excess at having high base block armor (no parry required) and high block force - nice for crowds

Buckler shields rely on parrying to be useful, as their block armor is pitiful, and have no block force to speak of.
However, their parry bonus is magnificent, and makes their block armor better than the respective tower shield of the same tier.
BUT, if you don’t parry properly, you are going to take large chunks of damage

Hence I like tower shields 🛡

[wise latch]

Does stamina play a role in if you sucessfully parry or get hit

[rain flare]

Yup

[rain flare]

You need enough stamina to block the hit

The more block skill you have the less stamina you need to block

[paper roost]

they are not based to use for block/parry, but if you have fist skills high enough, you can stagger any no star creature in the game with the kick

[wise latch]

Right on I figured, I use a bow nearly all the time but recently my buddy has been getting messed up and wasn't sure why he was getting hit when it should have been a parry

Are flesh rippers the only fist weapons?

[paper roost]

unfortunatelly yes

i wish there was mist variation, but it is as it is 🙂

[rain flare]

For now 🙃

[wise latch]

Soon™️

[rain flare]

You will normally hear a PING sound of metal on metal when you parry.
If you parry without enough stamina then you should hear a PANG sort of sound - it’s distinctly off putting and tell you that you have made a mistake 😂

As if the massive drop of your health isn’t enough of an indicator 🙈

[hoary rapids]

Hey, so yall think the northern biome will be the last one before full release?

[bright rock]

I’d like to imagine it to be released in December 2026

[azure yacht]

We don't think, we know. That's not speculation

[hoary rapids]

Omg its viking keanu!

But ye, theyre taking their sweeeeeeeeeeet time... v1.0 in 2030 i guess

[vague bolt]

when vc?

[azure yacht]

2026* max

2025 if realistic

[hoary rapids]

ye next year seems realistic

snowy biome for a snowy 2025 xmas

[humble scarab]

anyone else keep getting kicked from the server after some time because you don't really write in chat? I mean I guess that's why I keep getting kicked 😅

[cyan herald]

from ingame server or from discord? 😄

[humble scarab]

From discord

[cyan herald]

um

we did have a hacker incident a few days ago that kicked 1000's of people due to inactivity

they activated a command called "prune inactive members"

[humble scarab]

oh i see, but it's not the first time

[cyan herald]

but they set it to "people who haven't written in 24 hours" and then just click the button alot of time

[humble scarab]

ahhh

[cyan herald]

but that was only on the 29/1

so you shouldn't been kicked more than once 🤔

[humble scarab]

Ty for answering ^^ Idk, it happend a while back too or I might be thinking of another server but I'm pretty sure it was this one

[cyan herald]

This discord server don't kick people for inactivity

[humble scarab]

Okay that's good to know at least ^^ Then it probably was another server

[cyan herald]

could be 🤔

you can always send us a email if you have problems with the discord server and we can investigate

but as far as I can see. you only joined 2 times

[humble scarab]

Ahh, then it was somewhere else

[frozen void]

Would be poor business practice

[cyan herald]

yes

I don't aprove of poor buisness pratice 😄

[humble scarab]

yea i was thinking that too but i thought maybe mods would kick people or something xD

[cyan herald]

not unless they break rules 😄

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/acascuse-me-aubrey-anna-camp-pitch-perfect-excuse-me-gif-17474977

❤️

But yes, as Smiffe says - following the rules = unlimited join time

[frozen void]

Sometimes mods can be subjective in their approach

[summer hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/ba-dum-tsss-drum-band-gif-7320811

[tardy coral]

Are there a lot of spears in Valheim?

[paper roost]

yes

[azure yacht]

Five

[tardy coral]

Nice

[frozen void]

However many you decide to make

[half dragon]

the PANG of shame.

I used to to be a warrior like you... now I wield Atgeir.

The reach, the sweeps... what is there to not love?

[rain flare]

Basically one per biome

Flint, bronze, iron, wolf fang and carapace

Only missing the plains biome.

[near inlet]

I've always been the melee rube of my group and now I'm mad bc why didn't anybody tell me the staff of frost was the most fun weapon in the game

[azure yacht]

Probably bc fun is subjective and not everyone will tell you the exact same thing about whether something is fun or not

🤓

[near inlet]

pewpewpewpewpewpew :D

at what blood and/or elemental magic level do yall think it's viable to do E/H/S food instead of E/E/S

although I guess you would never really need to bc at higher blood magic levels your bubble gets more powerful too so who needs a health pool

E/S/S might be nice for mobility tho

[drowsy magnet]

Need at least one H

[formal kraken]

Still go EHS even at 60+. 7 points of bubble per level iirc and an H food with a high hp/tick goes a long way to spamming bubbles.

I only use bubbles and fireballs. The other staves aren't worth the materials invested.

[near inlet]

that is true, I didn't even think about the hp/tick

[hollow wing]

Is the Frostner good for plains?

[hollow pine]

i would say yes. but if its the best choice idk

[near inlet]

it's pretty good everywhere

[plush umbra]

as long as a mountain biome is spawning wolf packs at night, any of those wolves can be starred, correct? the biome doesn't have to be a certain size or distance from center or anything?

[hollow pine]

afaik thats correct

[plush umbra]

alright, just trying to make sure i'm not wasting time camping for a 2-star night after night. finally bagged a 1-star that i'm taming now.

[hollow pine]

at least i encountered a starred wolf near spawn

or should i say i ended up as their food? 😅

[regal spoke]

Researching this further. It seems any mountain has potential for a 2* wolf to appear.

[plush umbra]

perfect, thank you.

gonna hoof it back to base with this 1-star dogboy, let him start getting freaky with the rest of the pack and come back with fingers crossed for a 2-star today

we need cats. my cat is side-eyeing me over all these howls.

[regal spoke]

Jealousy activated lol

[steel copper]

Now that we have the amazing game modifiers have people stopped spawn farming? 😛

[plush umbra]

Nope

[smoky quarry]

need mousepad in stock on merch shop plzz

[trail wave]

gg

finally i got my acc back

toke 5 days lmao

[fair cairn]

congrats?

[strong smelt]

This. It was fun to see the various seeds ppl posted and discussed. Please resurrect the seeds channel 🙏

[hollow pine]

afaik they are working on it 😊

[urban stream]

I second a mousepad

[regal spoke]

If you screen shot the seed you can technically post in #screenshots

[frozen void]

New and improved seeds channel

[formal kraken]

Funny joke.

[frozen void]

[plush umbra]

Local ISP decided to choke mid-tame. ✌️😐🔫

[regal spoke]

So we will call it "The seed bank"?

[plush umbra]

the seed feed

[fallen zephyr]

A personal question, if I may. You have a BSc and an SSc. In which area is your PhD?

[plush umbra]

space trucking

[formal kraken]

Oh man I was going to say something stupid like, "Social Work" but that works too.

[plush umbra]

intergalactic logistics are no joke, try hauling a trailer full of livestock through the zorbon nebula without the proper paperwork, see how far that gets you

[formal kraken]

Zorbon you say?

nod nod

[fallen zephyr]

Holy shit, I hope we never get to the point where we're transporting livestock intergalactically! It's cruel enough across a single body of water.

[formal kraken]

Valheim logistics should interest you then. Getting iron across the ocean is about as difficult.

[plush umbra]

lox taming has entered the chat

[formal kraken]

moving lox across water

[near inlet]

moving any tamed animal across water

[fallen zephyr]

Are you equally intrigued by the physics behind portals and their inability to transport metallics?

[plush umbra]

sounds like a nightmare. i'm currently thinking about how to get wolves to the top of plains-pillar base, which is bad enough

[near inlet]

they REALLY don't like stairs

good luck

[formal kraken]

I just sailed wolves down to my wife's new base. I hate it. At least they can swim lol.

[regal spoke]

Use 26° roofs as a ramp rather than stairs

[fallen zephyr]

I don't like stairs either, my knee cartilage is pretty much non-existent. What's your point?

[regal spoke]

The thatch is easier on their feet lol

Ergonomics ftw

[formal kraken]

Most things behave weird on stairs. It's like back in the day we put stairs facing out around our base to confuse the enemy pathing.

[regal spoke]

I still do that

[formal kraken]

I stopped when it didn't stop a troll lol. Tactics updated that day.

[fallen zephyr]

If only we had stone roofs.

[regal spoke]

Create a single entry point headed off by a set of stairs to block mobs

Create a cattle guard out of spaced beams. We can sprint across. Mobs go goofy

[regal spoke]

Stone stairs are 26° and look pretty decent as a roof

[fallen zephyr]

I've used them on the underside as a reinforcement, but not as a roof themselves.

[plush umbra]

alright wolf is still in the taming pen 🙏 praise eris

[regal spoke]

Let's gooo

[tacit tide]

I finally got the mats to make portals

[hollow wing]

iron atgeir seems a thousnad times more effective than iron mace for killing trolls

[smoky quarry]

trolls are blunt resistant tough skin mf

[frigid gust]

It is. Because trolls are weak to piercing but resist blunt.

[bright rock]

Lmao who use blunt against troll

[smoky quarry]

thats why one troll gives 100 skin pelts

an arrow or spear to trolls head keeps the trolls ... away

[paper marsh]

deathless hardmode run ended by friggin Moder 😭

She used to be such a pushover on normal

[trail wave]

someone know if the discord support can restore my deleted groups?

the hackr that was on my acc deleted 2 server groups that i created

[slate glacier]

any info on what happened to stab roll? it used to be about 90% consistent about a year ago, and now its ~10% consistent

[drowsy magnet]

Sir, this is a Wendy's

I mean #valheim-chat

[wicked snow]

any word on ashlands?

[plush umbra]

First half 2024

[wicked snow]

hey this is the first half of 2024

[drowsy magnet]

True

[light moat]

Almost here 👀

[wicked snow]

was it confirmed? I didnt see any news

[drowsy magnet]

So anywhere between Jan to june

[plush umbra]

It’s part of general channel description but before the hack there was a bot that said it constantly

[frozen void]

#general channel description

[regal spoke]

Is it not also confirmed in Iron Gates recent walk n talk on yt?

[vocal rivet]

We had this last night, and no, apparently it isn't.

[frigid gust]

Bots got hosed in the hack, but yes, it is officially slated for first half 2024. But that means it could be anywhere between tomorrow and the end of June

[odd marsh]

still excited

[frigid gust]

For sure. I'm just setting expectations 😉

[hollow wing]

if i have a far away farm will the farm actually grow or no? ive had this turnip that hasnt turned to seed and its probably been 2-3 weeks ingame days

like a portal near to farm but im not there unless i want to harvest

[odd marsh]

yes

[hollow wing]

so why hasnt it turned to seed still lol

[odd marsh]

think youll have to wait for a few seconds, thats what happened to mine

[frigid gust]

It takes ~3 in-game days. Are you sure you didn't plant a turnip seed and you're just staring at the top of a turnip?

[full rune]

Why do trolls randomly disappear from troll caves? I marked one on the map and went back inside only to see that the troll is gone

[plush umbra]

I don’t think they’re suppose to do that

[hollow wing]

its turnip alright

[odd marsh]

now replant them and enjoy an infinite resource of turnips

[frigid gust]

Sometimes troll caves are just empty... they don't disappear as far as I know, though. Did you look in the cave before marking it?

[full rune]

Yea I did, I specifically marked that one so I could go back and kill it

[odd marsh]

mustve been hungry and defied the laws of the game

[paper marsh]

hmm resting effect actually sounds really powerful for boss fights

[odd marsh]

very

[formal kraken]

I always keep a fire nearby to sit at before the boss.

[paper marsh]

That would be rested effect

For resting effect you'd have to stay by the fire and prob have it indoors

[plush umbra]

It’s really powerful the entire game

Oh resting

[paper marsh]

+200% health regen +300% stamina regen +300% eitr regen sounds kinda nice ngl

[odd marsh]

oh yea, its pretty broken

[plush umbra]

Just build a big house over the altars lol

Well you can’t have resting with enemies nearby

[formal kraken]

Oh you mean the actual status effects of active comfort. yeah those are nuts. You can get them easily with a hearth in a box.

[paper marsh]

I'm prob gonna make some mini houses around the boss fights on this hard mode deathless run. Can't have Moder killing me again

[plush umbra]

Are you deleting the world on death?

[paper marsh]

what do you need for resting? Just the hearth or do you also need to be sheltered?

[plush umbra]

And no enemies

[formal kraken]

Sheltered.

[odd marsh]

sheltered

[plush umbra]

sitting next to a fire is enough

[formal kraken]

I have a comfort tower where I can rain fireballs down on raiders from.

[plush umbra]

First time I’ve heard a permadeath run not called a permadeath run 😂

[gritty kayak]

yup a campfire is all you need with no enemies near by. you get 8 mins of rested from a comfort level of 1

oh and it has to be burning. no smoking out or rain

[paper marsh]

tbh I see people saying hardcore and permadeath interchangeably a lot and in valheim hardcore isn't permadeath 😭

[plush umbra]

and you have to sit if you're not sheltered

[light moat]

I think they’re talking about the resting buff, not the rested buff, they’re different

[odd marsh]

yea pretty different

[paper marsh]

yea discussion has been focused around actual resting buff

[gritty kayak]

makes for a neat night when away from home and all you hear is the crackling of the fire on a clear night. super immersive honestly... the sound in this game is done really well.

[formal kraken]

Yeah can be rested for X minutes, or you can be in the process of obtaining a rested bonus and have massive RESTING bonuses instead. Rather fun but hard to utilize.

[formal kraken]

Never considered first building a structure around Moder before spawning her. Can she get out? Oh boy that sounds fun.

[plush umbra]

That’s why people will make sure you don’t call hardcore permadeath

[paper marsh]

I think the +300% stamina is the main thing. Dodging into a house to refill your stamina bar. I guess the tasty mead is a similar effect tho never really used those

[plush umbra]

I mean it’s just an argument of semantics

Hardcore is definitely permadeath just not world wipe but its semantics so

[formal kraken]

Plus you usually are fighting her wet so this level of dedicated cheese might be worth it.

[plush umbra]

You wouldn’t be able to do a world wipe setting for multiplayer anyway unless they had an option to ban anyone from the server that dies

[formal kraken]

Honestly resetting skills to 0 is enough.

[paper marsh]

Why are you fighting Moder wet?

[formal kraken]

Does Moder not make you wet?

[paper marsh]

If you get hit by any of her attacks you get frozen for a bit but idea is generally to not get hit

[plush umbra]

Imo it’s the gear loss that’s the real tragedy skills aren’t that important

[plush umbra]

Couldn’t of phrased it better myself

[formal kraken]

Always. Tragedy is the point here.

[paper marsh]

Also I don't think it's too cheesy just a lil' buff. Very vulnerable to attacks by her. I'm def not gonna build a whole building around her, just some little shacks for recuperating

I'm trying to cut out constant bow cheese / atgeir cheese / break enemy pathfinding cheese from the run tho

[plush umbra]

It won’t work anyway since you can’t get resting while enemies are nearby

[odd marsh]

be far enough perhaps?

[paper marsh]

Eh doesn't seem like that big of an enemy range to me. Just get a bit of distance and then you can get 5 sec of stamina regen in a shack

bosses are slow af or high up in the sky

[formal kraken]

It's not about far, it's about agro. I think if you can dig a deep enough bunker to hide in and drop agro for a second, you might get it back. I've had enemies walking around outside and be resting.

[paper marsh]

hmm interesting

[brittle geyser]

I built a trench all the way around the moder spawn 🙂

[formal kraken]

but then again it could work like beds and just detect enemies.

[paper marsh]

maybe I should just learn to use tasty meads and use the resting as a total retreat get my health back get back into the fight

[formal kraken]

I only use resting for raids and spamming magic/arrows defensively. Earthen walls and moats deny a lot of agro so I never really notice if resting disappears or not. I'll have to test it when I play in a bit.

[brittle geyser]

But it didn't let me get rested, just good cover.

[paper marsh]

I hate earthen walls and moats

[near inlet]

I absolutely notice when rested is gone

it is very noticeable imo lol

[paper marsh]

Rested is a must have at all times. we've been talking about resting tho (very different sorta similar)

[formal kraken]

Digging in this game is like my zen activity. I'll hop into a new server and dig out every Elder I can find and build a network of portal'd mole homes.

[brittle geyser]

I tried many other survival, it's just not the same. There's something fun about gathering in Valheim.

[odd marsh]

its pretty peaceful, the sound of chopping wood, the CLINK CLANK of ores. its just unique.

watch them trees fall like domino

[formal kraken]

As stated above, the soundscapes are impressive and immersive.

[frozen void]

The sound of a stone thrown by a greydwarf hitting your character

[formal kraken]

hitting your ward through the stone wall

[odd marsh]

and then i unsheath my blade and began to hunt them down one by one.

[formal kraken]

the sounds of my wolves getting crits in the night....

[odd marsh]

nah, imagine seeing the black figures in the mountain at night.

[brittle geyser]

I like how you really want rested, but you're not going to die of starvation if you don't have it.

[formal kraken]

You're already dead. Food's a luxury now.

[brittle geyser]

lol

[odd marsh]

boosts morale xD

[formal kraken]

I'd imagine after 500 years of eternal life without eating anything, a Honey Glazed Chicken would cure any depression.

[odd marsh]

a pizza wouldve made me feel high

[vague bolt]

when vc?

[vocal rivet]

When ready.

[odd marsh]

felt like i made my home a bit too big

[little stream]

so many hot tips here on how to be ambiguous about projects and development - going to try them on my wife, see how long my marriage lasts lets gooooo

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

[odd marsh]

[little stream]

scrolling the 150+ messages and answers to when Ashlands, when VC, when 'X', etc

its golden stuff don't get me wrong

[vocal rivet]

The answer to Ashlands is the first half of the year. When VC is when Smiffe gets to it, it's NOT a priority.

[plush umbra]

“Why didn’t you take out the trash? It’s in early access” idk how well that would work

[vocal rivet]

I don't see how this is ambigious. There just isn't an answer right now.

[light moat]

“The dishes will be done when they’re done”

[little stream]

"The back deck will be ready when ready..."

[plush umbra]

Vague is probably the more accurate term than ambiguous

[little stream]

more golden stuff - debating synonyms

[vocal rivet]

Do you have a point or are you just straight up trolling?

[little stream]

thank you Discord for this daily enlightenment

[vocal rivet]

I'm also confused as to what us, as non-devs, are exactly supposed to say.

[little stream]

i'm data mining and getting caught up on postings

[little stream]

#valheim-chat message
Doesn't seem like confusion to me, boss

[near inlet]

people are so entitled lmao. you pay to buy the game in its current state. if its current state isn't one you're happy with then either refund or don't buy. if you want development to move faster, make your own game

[formal kraken]

Just you wait, I'll demand they delay it longer for more polish.

Maybe take a vacation as a team

[odd marsh]

would love them to take their time and perfect it.

[formal kraken]

That's how you know you've played Valheim: infinite patience.

[wise glacier]

anyone else hoping for a 2h fire axe in ashlands? also a buff to 2h axes

[near inlet]

I want another 1h mace

we didn't get one with mistlands and something needs to knock Frostner off its pedestal

[wise glacier]

well there was a 1h mace in silver age and black metal age

2h axe hasnt been seen since silver age

[formal kraken]

Why oh why crystal axe do you chop less than Jotan?

[languid root]

I guees ashlands would be still another good place to take your frostner with you..

[odd marsh]

i should progress more, xD im stuck in silver age trying to make my home LMAO

[near inlet]

the problem is the category of 2h slash weapon is shared by greatswords and axes now. they probably didn't give one with mistlands bc of Krom

[wise glacier]

true, i like 2h sword aswell, but nothing beats 2h axe for me

[near inlet]

they need more ways to differentiate axes and swords

[odd marsh]

2h axe looks cool. gotta love the secondary attack too

hmmmm aoe perhaps?

[wise glacier]

imo, they secondary attack of atgeir should have been given to 2h axes instead

[odd marsh]

hmmm i think its based on the poleaxe technique, correct me if im wrong but i think it looks good. but a pierce weapon spinning... wouldnt that make it slash xD

[latent wraith]

You poke very fast while spinning.

[wise glacier]

xD

[formal kraken]

You spin so fast you pierce the firmament, displacing the fabric of spacetime within the bodily cavities of your victims.

[weary sentinel]

Is there a way to build a bridge with a slope that is cart friendly? Using stairs, they bump and damage.

[odd marsh]

dont think so, my cart still damages my stone stairs xD

[latent wraith]

Use very many free-placed stone tiles/stairs.

There was a video of someone making a good one, lemme find it.

[formal kraken]

Sloped bridge? I'd just hoe the land to be flatter and build a gap bridge across so that enemies can't pathfind over it but you can still take your cart.

[latent wraith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdYQ41mD5HY - I think this one is cart-friendly, if it isn't just add more stone blocks to have smaller steps.

SmittySurvival is one of my favourite Valheim building channels. He's got some great stuff.

[formal kraken]

People still watch Youtube even after they've been caught damaging hardware over adblock?

[oak aspen]

So, the dead horse of the issue of the penalty for dying has been beaten into a messy stain on the floor, but have the devs ever weighed in? If so, I'd appreciate a link - I'd like to know their thinking before I mod it away.

[latent wraith]

Have you tried the world modifiers that reduces it/practically removes it?

[weary sentinel]

thanks!

[latent wraith]

That's a fairly small bridge but the principle works for bigger ones as well, just make it bigger.

[tardy coral]

Any spear users here?

[latent wraith]

I use spears until I get my first bow. :p

[tardy coral]

Damn

I've been digging spears quite a lot

[latent wraith]

The guy who won the speed run challenge last autumn used spears almost exclusively.

[tardy coral]

They hit fast and you can throw them

[grave bone]

Yep, spears are the best ... most of the time 🙂

[tardy coral]

Would it be a good idea to carry two spears?

[odd marsh]

used it from early to midgame its pretty good

[grave bone]

Never tried it. I just go and take my spear back if I throw it

[azure yacht]

Pretty based tbh

[odd marsh]

a reserve is good xD

[tardy coral]

I think I might benefit from using two spears when hunting deer or fighting raids

That way I can kill both deer without one of them running

[odd marsh]

i wonder, i have a stone main base, should i go for the late game crafting stuff or would it still look good if i just use the ordinary wooden roofs?

[jovial elk]

could always go for the stone roof, a bit flat but the castle roof is always cool

[odd marsh]

hmmm dont think thatll work now since its a bit too big xD

[jovial elk]

on top of that you could place a 1m high wood floor off a stone floor for a more classic look

[odd marsh]

oooohh ima try taht

[jovial elk]

wish i had an example but its something i only thought of a day or two ago

[pliant hatch]

You can use the 26° roof pieces, use some floor boards at the top to flatten it for a moment and use 26° roof pieces again for the other side.
Makes it quite easy to use the same setup to build the roof; except you need to extent the top roof over the floor boards to prevent them from showing decay.
Early game you can use the thatch roof, later you may use the shingle roof, which actually gives a slight impression of being "stone".

[gray nexus]

has anyone else used personal chests for base defense, I recently came up with this idea, am gonna try out someday 🤔 Ballista and the chest sound like a good idea, might try using devcommands later

[regal spoke]

Do what friend?

[neat bramble]

Can the ashland biome spawn with all the stuff if i have visited that area before or will it forever be flat?

[jovial elk]

forever flat so long as youve generated it im afraid

[latent wraith]

Generated areas stay generated.

[tardy coral]

Let's say I don't get to the Ashlands before the update releases

When I get there will it generate the new content?

[gray nexus]

personal chests are like super durable and are targeted by mob, im thinking something like a distraction for mobs

[latent wraith]

If you haven't been somewhere it's not generated yet. Only where a player has been near is generated, areas players haven't been to aren't made yet and can get new stuff that's added to the world.

[tardy coral]

Gotcha

[regal spoke]

I see. Use the chests as bait

[tardy coral]

How good is the flint knife?

[gray nexus]

yeah, they're so durable they'll outlast multiple raids prolly, you can just repair occasionally, could prolly be a solution to the harbor protection problem maybe

lemme try this out, I did try to check if mobs prioritized boats over the chest or something, but they didn't. That's all I tried out the other day.

[tardy coral]

Are Kilns worth building? Or should I keep sacrificing Necks?

[regal spoke]

Can the be submerged in earth. Leaving just enough exposed to be a target. But still leave the mobs struggling to make contact

[frozen void]

Random mob spawns will show up, and terrain might change, but otherwise it wont change, likely

[gray nexus]

Maybe, but tbh it doesn't matter, I say personal chest coz according to wiki it has like 10k hp and is resistant to most things, I doubt any mobs can really take them out quickly enough

unless they changed something

[odd marsh]

hmmm, whys the 1x1 stone block expensive xD

[vague bolt]

when are there going to be voice chats!!??!?!?!1

[drowsy magnet]

Yes you're gonna need a lot of coal. Later in the game you can set up coal farms (in swamps)

[latent wraith]

lack of quntity discount.

[tardy coral]

Aighty

[gray nexus]

Setup greydwarf farm, afk and burn trash in obliterator. Ez coal.

[tardy coral]

What is obliterator

[gray nexus]

A build for trash disposal basically

[tardy coral]

Nice

[odd marsh]

a trashcan

[gray nexus]

Electric Trashcan

[gritty kayak]

makes a great art deco item in your house.

[paper roost]

one of the best starting weapons

[tardy coral]

How does it compare with the spear?

[rain flare]

Knives are good but need actual game skill

Their secondary is very good but easy to miss entirely, so you need to practice

[paper roost]

knife is cheaper, takes a bit longer to kill deers

[gray nexus]

also i recently learned if you pull the lever but keep the storage open until the lightning sound, it cancels
could be useful if you put something useful inside by mistake

[rain flare]

Spears are almost as fast but have less range

Unless you throw said spear which can be a complete miss - leaving you unarmed

[tardy coral]

Define actual game skill

[rain flare]

Kilns are 100% worth the effort

[urban stream]

Porque no los dos?

[paper roost]

with knife you can kill group of deers better than with spears

[rain flare]

Timing your attacks, spacing yourself and being aware of your surroundings

[tardy coral]

Fair enough

[rain flare]

You are literally leaping into the air and landing on your enemy with a knife secondary attack

It’s very easy to completely miss what you are trying to hit if you don’t practice

[formal kraken]

Spears have a hidden mechanic when you miss with them: hitting the ground with the spear is one of the loudest things you can do in the game. Think the agro range of the mining pick. I issue challenges to enemies with my spear at my feet before I fight. Keeps them agro'd to me instead of my tames.

[tardy coral]

Aighty

[rain flare]

Smart

[tardy coral]

I noticed that as well

[jovial elk]

as far as i am concerned, so long as you enjoy using a weapon and become more than okay at using it (barring undead specifically) you can use whatever

[paper roost]

if you sneaking with knife and execute leap, you still sneaking basicly, so nearby enemies wont run away

[jovial elk]

hell

i am currently not running any ranged options right now, so i take ooze bombs for the drakes in the mountains

[gritty kayak]

spears are brutal and very touchy when on any incline. That messes me up all the time

[formal kraken]

Parry with the shield then throw into their face in melee range for double thrown spear damage and an instant pick-up. But I usually bring a mace and a woodcutting axe as backups in case I fight something with pierce resists.

[jovial elk]

its an effective 2 shot if you let it melt them the full duration

[latent wraith]

All weapons are good, some weapon types are better or worse against certain enemies.

I recommend testing at least a few different weapons to see which ones you prefer using.

[formal kraken]

Everything I use I use because I like its special attack.

I wish I liked the fleshrippers

[jovial elk]

always a gamble of resources if you are solo to be fair, but yea try everything you are interested in and have fun, thats what a game is for
"keep it simple stupid"? is the phrase i believe

bro they are so cool, but not having any prerequisites besides bare knuckles makes them nearly useless

[latent wraith]

I don't really consider "a gamble of resources" to be much of an issue in a single player game where time doesn't affect anything.

[regal spoke]

Looking at the creature wiki and analyzing weak, resist, immune. It's quick to find out how frost and fire are effective against a majority of mobs. While slash, pierce, and blunt are near equally resisted across the board. So knowing your target is critical.

[formal kraken]

I have a pair fully upgraded but I keep them boxed now. I wish the fist weapons had a different special than the bare fists. Kick is nice, but not that nice. I was hoping for a leap or something ferocious.

[paper roost]

those stats are relative

[regal spoke]

Relative to making a proper weapon decision for a biome or mob in question yes

[jovial elk]

also fandom is the worst possible wiki site available, can we agree there?

[latent wraith]

I haven't tried all the alternatives so I don't know. :|

[jovial elk]

there arent any anymore because fandom muscled them out

[latent wraith]

Don't recall if I've tried any non-costummade ones.

Old wowwiki was good.

[jovial elk]

right? shame they dropped

[paper roost]

more important than type of weapon is know how to use it

[formal kraken]

Anything free becomes a sellable commodity to enable the removal of said free competition. A world designed by and for scammers and snake-oil salesmen.

[somber wing]

are there still people looking for others to play with in this game?

[plush umbra]

Always

[obtuse cloud]

Yesterday at night I finally finished discovering my spawn island, with exception to 3 mountains (I'm in bronze age)

[formal kraken]

Congrats :) how many biomes do you have? Different boss alters?

[coral hollow]

Guys! Where is the best place to place early game portals? (My first one)

[frozen void]

In your pocket

[azure yacht]

Your main base

[coral hollow]

To where? 🙂

[formal kraken]

Hmmmm the first goes in your base, but I'm assuming you're talking about the second. Depends usually. Sometimes I place my first one near the second boss, but other times I place it at an NPC. Just depends on what you find and prioritize. I just suggest you build a box around it.

[coral hollow]

Black forest? Yeah second!! Thanks, reading what u wrote

[frozen void]

I meant what i said. Bring it with you drop stuff back home quickly

[azure yacht]

Wherever you need to go to frequently.

[gritty kayak]

Here is what I do - have a "roaming portal". This is one portal at my base and one in my pocket. No name. The second one is at the stones for easy power swaps

[odd marsh]

a pocket portal

[smoky quarry]

my boat always carries portal parts

[gritty kayak]

After that - one at my first mining area for copper. And then.. when I visit a new continent, I pop one down in case I die.... makes for easier body recovery

[obtuse cloud]

All the biomes except mistlands, 2 elders, 1 eikthyr, I'm sure that I don't have bonemass and yagluth, not sure about moder

[formal kraken]

Sucks when you desync your inventory after picking up your pocket portal (omg always save). Luckily my single player world is stocked.

[frozen void]

Portals everywhere!

[smoky quarry]

I do portals like the StarGate universe does, 1 portal to all + 1 Er

[odd marsh]

i p[lace a portal in every island i reach to xD just incase

[coral hollow]

Omg, pocket portal, genious thanks!

[formal kraken]

Two Elders you say? If I were on your server I'd rush Eikthyr and diggydiggy portal-linked bases.

[frozen void]

You can easily farm cores, wood, etc, to make more portals

[obtuse cloud]

On my whole map I have 3 elders, but 2 of them are on spawn island, also I have haldor and hildir on my spawn island

[formal kraken]

Ok that's a nice seed. Sadly I've been playing dedicated for so long I forgot what nice seeds felt like lol

[odd marsh]

and i have 3 elders, all of them almost at the edge of the map south, west, and east

[frigid gust]

Current world gen should guarantee 4 Elder altars: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Forsaken_altars

[formal kraken]

it does

[lusty crescent]

Why did it un-embed itself

[frigid gust]

It didn't, I did it. It was just a big splash image interrupting the conversation 😉

[lusty crescent]

I see

[frozen void]

I wish i could un embed on mobile

[formal kraken]

dude mobile is so trash after that update that moved everything around.

[lusty crescent]

It's not too disruptive

[lusty crescent]

Real
Esp this new one that forces you to pick a certain file to embed

[odd marsh]

furnitures that increase comfort?

[latent wraith]

frustrated noises
I have marked a burial chamber on my map but I cannot find the entrance... Considering cutting down all the trees to improve visibility.

[lusty crescent]

I shouldn't have to go through a maze to find and send the thing I just downloaded

[frozen void]

Full list on comfort wiki page

[obtuse cloud]

I can send my map in clips, cuz I made a vid

[formal kraken]

there's also #screenshots

[obtuse cloud]

I have too much pins

[odd marsh]

guess im making a bathtub in valheim

[frigid gust]

I hate when that happens... it's usually some hill with a ton of trees right in front of it. I just tend to try to circle the pin when I do that to myself.

[latent wraith]

I ran around the hill for several minutes trying to find it. :p

[paper marsh]

If you resist talkin to hugin he'll show you the entrance ;)

[formal kraken]

falls in "Found it!"

[latent wraith]

A good while too late for that. :p

[light moat]

Just a friendly reminder you can right click on an icon on your map (not your pinned one, an icon on the right where you select one) to turn off that pin on your map 🙂

[paper marsh]

didnt know that. cool!

[frozen void]

I saw a stone building just inside the black forest with a vegvisir, market it so i could show it to my wife. Turns out the vegvisir was a barrel

[latent wraith]

Currently killing greydwarves with falling trees. It is very satisfying.

[light moat]

Super useful, I turn off all my raspberry dots all the time haha

[obtuse cloud]

i read that wrong sorry

[odd marsh]

huh didnt know we could turn those off

[frozen void]

Yeah you can temp hide all pins of one or all types

[frozen fable]

@latent wraith a tree may be blocking the entrance or a rock could be in the way. I have seen those kind of entrances

[frozen void]

Nice starting island @obtuse cloud

[obtuse cloud]

Spent too much time on discovering it

[latent wraith]

I've seen plenty of blocked entrances - the frustration is because I've been outside it and marked it and now I can't find it agian. :p

I did find it inside some bushes.

[obtuse cloud]

Now I can finally kill elder and then I will start grinding iron cuz I have 8 crypts, should be enough to kill bonemass

[paper marsh]

8 crypts is great

[frozen void]

Burial grounds can be super stealthy

[paper marsh]

just make sure not to waste iron because you have excess. Save it for later biomes

[obtuse cloud]

I'm not gonna make iron armor, cuz for me it's not necessary

[odd marsh]

not till i start deforestation

[paper marsh]

Same (well I often make iron helmet on hard mode but that’s it)

[obtuse cloud]

I'm playing on normal and I think I'll stick with it, I'm not a dedicated gamer who wants to spend 2k hours on this game 😂

[latent wraith]

The most stealthy entrance I've found was inside a copper vein with lots trees and bushes on the mound so it wasn't easy to see.

[paper marsh]

Good, preserve your sanity

Mine is diminishing

[obtuse cloud]

Especially when I tend to cheat a lot when Im dying and can't get my stuff back 😅

[paper marsh]

I'm trying to do this run without dying and cheesing (and haven't tried cheating in the game) but it's been rough

[lusty crescent]

Sometimes lol

[obtuse cloud]

For now in this run I only log outed sometimes when I was 30min away from my base and was on verge of my death

[hallow canyon]

We have numbered portals so we can always get back to our base, plus a dial-out portal with signs listing all the portals we have left all over the world.

[obtuse cloud]

Also I have in this game 440h and never thought about pocket portal lmao

[hallow canyon]

Our numbered portals are a variation on the pocket portal

Except they allow us to do more portals while traveling and then clean up later

[odd marsh]

iv become lazy and tried to use my brain, thats when i tried to make a pocket portal

[paper marsh]

whaaaaaaaa

[obtuse cloud]

Needless to say, this playthrough is my most portal playthrough, bronze age and already 14 different places with portals

[odd marsh]

thats alotta portals xD

[obtuse cloud]

Sorry

9 portals in my portal base, so 18 portals

Still a lot lmao

[odd marsh]

xD and i have like 5 xD 1 for each biome

[obtuse cloud]

Do you have big island like me 😅

[odd marsh]

god damn how big is it?

[obtuse cloud]

Check #memes-and-clips

[odd marsh]

daym thats big

[obtuse cloud]

In my portal base I have:
Spawn altar
1st base
2nd base
farm
Haldor
Hildir
1st mini base
2nd mini base

[odd marsh]

i should try making a portal hub, kinda annoying how i have to rename it xD

[gritty kayak]

can do a hybrid hub. Have your most popular portals permanently paired, with a dial portal for all those portals all around the world.
Edit: punctuation.

[odd marsh]

i see guess ill do taht and gatekeep myself from progressing anyfurther xD

[urban stream]

Just make sure you write them down 😆

[gritty kayak]

Thats kinda my gameplay style as I have only a couple of hours a night to give to Valheim. I have a roaming portal and when I find something interesting I plop a "dial into" portal. I name it like "portal - 'swamp1'" on the map and move on. That way I can come back to it later if I want

I always end my gaming session with my roaming portal in my pocket and me at home base relaxing.

[hallow canyon]

Yep, that's how we do it.

[hallow canyon]

Signs by the dial up portal are great for that.

[urban stream]

True

[rare birch]

Finally got a 2 star cub to pop out. I will be spending a lot of time breeding and transporting wolves the next few days. #screenshots

[plush umbra]

I was reading on the wiki that comfort items must be within 10 meters of the player, does this include vertical? Could I build a hot tub below my bedroom and still get the benefit?

[fresh jasper]

Yes, it includes vertical

[gritty kayak]

Yes - I have my hottub below my bed in a lower floor. I think the area of effect is spherical

[frigid gust]

It's a sphere for all items, yes. Remember with the hot tub that it must be lit in order to function, and it produces smoke, so it can be a bit of a trick to place it where it doesn't smoke itself or you out but still provides the comfort. You get bigger comfort bonuses in the overlap of the spheres of various comfort-providing objects.

[frozen void]

Yeah its a sphere, not a pillar of influence

[gritty kayak]

A little trick to the hottub. I build it against a wall with the oven poking out of my structure so the smoke is vented outside. I then replace the wall and "phase" it through the oven. Tub inside... smoke outside.

[plush umbra]

Thanks

And yeah I usually use sloped items/roofs to help direct the smoke if I can't build an opening directly above it

[tardy coral]

Is the stagbreaker worth it?

[plush umbra]

I don't think you need it, but it's fun against skeletons in the crypts in the Black Forest

it can also hit enemies through walls which is nice

[tardy coral]

I've heard it's good with dealing with buried treasures

[rare birch]

Comes in handy in swamp crypts killing stuff behind closed doors. Also can use to kill leeches from the shore

[plush umbra]

Oh yeah there is some trick to finding buried treasure with it, you could in theory use it to skip to the silver age but you'd need to look up a guide/ask around

[tardy coral]

Nah, I wouldn't want to miss out of the silver age

[gritty kayak]

I personally found it fun for a bit in the crypts early game due to the fact the skellis loved overwhelming you. It also looks pretty cool hanging on your wall. And its relatively cheap to make.

[plush umbra]

Oh no I mean you could use it to skip all the previous ages and go straight to silver is what some people do, but I personally wouldn't do that because I find exploring/completing each biome fun

[tardy coral]

Even worse :v

[civic halo]

Question - is there any verifiable triggers that set off 'Invasion' events? I had a lot of 'Eikthyr Wakes the Forest' before killing him, then 'The Forest Moves' a lot, and then nothing, for a LONG TIME.

Recently though, I just bumped my Forge to level 7 (currently JUST entered the Iron Age), and all of a sudden I got a full scale Troll invasion. I have never had this before, and additionally, my main homestead is in Meadows, with no adjacent Black Forest for quite a ways.

Is this normal? Due to the Forge upgrade? Or part of entering Iron Age?

[frozen void]

Killing bosses is the main trigger for events

[boreal meadow]

Troll invasion is if any troll has been killed in your world + the elder has died

[civic halo]

Dang OK, I wiped the Elder roughly 20+ hrs of gameplay ago

[frozen void]

Each 46 minutes you have a 20% chance to trigger a raid, but almodt all raids require you to be in what the game considrrs a base

[civic halo]

OK, that all makes sense. Damn, I was ABSOLUTELY NOT expecting that (I don't reddit/google anything), so it was interesting

[plush umbra]

I think I craft one of everything because I like to collect stuff, but you can probably get away with only crafting pickaxes, axes, 1h maces, 1h shields, bows, and maybe an atgeir for AOE's or just high single target stabbing, but yeah, craft stagbreaker if you think it looks cool/fun to use and for that matter craft anything that looks interesting. If you're trying to play "efficiently" I'd say you could skip most 2h weapons.

[tardy coral]

Aighty

[civic halo]

I currently feel like the Iron Age is a little slow? Maybe that's because the accessibility of Iron is so rare/difficult? I also feel like it's more about expansion and exploration rather than accumulation? Just a feeling though. With that full scale troll invasion behind me, and half my home annihilated, I have the itch to renovate, which is also probably half the reason for that kind of thing

[frigid gust]

Stagbreaker(sledges) and ooze bombs are great in general because you can use them to hit through barriers like doors and walls.

[plush umbra]

I'm surprised you feel iron is slow, I had an easy time clearing out dungeons and bringing my loot back, especially once I got the root helmet, Part of it is if you're not using portals with the allowance for carry metal through and building one close to crypts in the swamp, you probably want to build a longboat and carry back piles of iron that way then mass smelt it

Took me maybe 1-2 days to max all my iron gear and have a stack or two left over

[civic halo]

^^^ I think I need to build a longboat, still relying on my karve to tootle around

My difficulty is in FINDING the damned crypts 😦

[boreal meadow]

the longboat has a massive inventory, its gonna speed up the game for you

[civic halo]

Only found 2 in about 6 different biomes

[plush umbra]

you'd think it'd be a waste of good iron but the longboat is so good

the increased sailing speed, the massive storage/health, the easier ability to fight sea sepents and make serpent stew, ect ect

Also you might want to find a trader and get the strength belt if you don't already own it

[civic halo]

Interesting... I was in the middle of establishing a large agrarian section of my homestead as well, so moving around a ton of wood at once to new areas to setup camp is nice

[civic halo]

Game changer

[crimson wyvern]

Longboat is essential for anything past black forest tier

[frozen void]

You just need a lot of iron

When you think you might have enough, you need like 4x more

[merry pebble]

you need lot of iron the entire game in general 😄

[crimson wyvern]

I have a full magic kit and still no trader 💀💀💀💀💀

[civic halo]

NOoooooooooo

[merry pebble]

how...

[civic halo]

That is BRUTAL

[crimson wyvern]

He's hiding

Tbh haven't killed yagluth yet either. Me and the boys found him after one of us had a whole carapice kit

[civic halo]

I have played the entire thing solo thus far, anyone else in that boat?

[boreal meadow]

my main playthrough is solo, all the way up to fighting bonemass

[plush umbra]

I imagine there’s a lot of solo players who don’t even bother with the discord

[crimson wyvern]

Idk how I'd manage to stay alive

[plush umbra]

It is made as a solo game afterall

[civic halo]

That is very, very good to know

[plush umbra]

They added co-op from popular demand but it’s always been intended to be a soloable game

[plush umbra]

You might want to check on that website that shows your map/various items like trader locations lol, otherwise just keep mapping out black forest locals

[crimson wyvern]

We don't wanna cheese it. We've come so far already

[plush umbra]

I have a seperate character for multiplayer, but 99% of my time is solo

[merry pebble]

i played both, solo and multiplayer but majority of my gameplay is solo, and it is more enjoyable that way imo 😄

[civic halo]

I just got parts to build another computer for my kids, looking forward to doing a new world with them. I'm playing on PC/Deck back and forth, so I am excited to get them into it

[plush umbra]

I like how I’ve got trader on my starting island on one of my runs 😎

[frozen void]

Ive played through the enture game solo, but also in a group. Over a yhird of my 1.5k hours is solo

[gloomy dock]

i didnt notice this server got fixed

[paper marsh]

I’m surprised they bothered with Xbox

[crimson wyvern]

Isn't Xbox basically windows

[plush umbra]

I think I saw something saying they regretted that one but I could be mistaken

[paper marsh]

No

[plush umbra]

Yes

[odd helm]

Still takes some effort to port, but it's not as bad as other consoles or Mac iirc

[crimson wyvern]

[paper marsh]

'twas for WE1C's statement

[plush umbra]

That Xbox is windows?

[frozen void]

Porting was outsourced anyway

[paper marsh]

ye

[plush umbra]

It is

[latent wraith]

To a company based in the same town iirc, which may have helped.

[plush umbra]

Microsoft based their Xbox off their windows

It’s just a modified version in a user friendly box

[dense rapids]

Am I crazy or does the 1 meter horizontal wood beam not touch both of its snapping points?

[paper marsh]

Well depends what you mean by Xbox that's kinda broad in that context. Generally Xbox is a physical console whereas Windows is a software

[plush umbra]

And the software instead the Xbox is windows

You don’t get Xbox with other Mac or Linux software so it’s kind of implied at that point

[paper marsh]

I don't know how well the xbox software and windows software relates nowadays but when I used xbox it looked nothing like windows 😔 . Although it may be similar coding under the hood

[plush umbra]

It’s very similar under the hood since it’s entirely based off of it but yeah the front end looks a lot different

[paper marsh]

I would hate if my pc used a xbox software layout

[plush umbra]

Cough windows 11

Do boat graves always have a treasure in the middle?

not always

[frozen void]

Certainly not after youve emptied them

[dense rapids]

No building related channels yet?

[merry pebble]

nope

[glass parrot]

What non teleportable materials should I bring to the mistlands?

[merry pebble]

i don´t think you really need any, you can get what you need there pretty much

[dense rapids]

If you want to make ballistas then you need metal for those

[frozen void]

If youre setting up full camp, tin and silver for cooking

[dense rapids]

I think thats the only thing I brought there

[frozen void]

You can get iron and bronze

Youll need blackmetal too, but if theres plains nearby...

Copper for some forge upgraded i guess

Or does copper drop? I think it does

[paper marsh]

if you wanna make a base there, everything. But if you just want to make a little resource outpost I think you'd be good with just bringing some black metal (or bringing some iron and then collecting raw black metal from nearby plains and smelting it) . Been a while since I toured the mistlands tho

[frigid gust]

Copper can drop from the shields and swords in the Mistlands, and I think also some from the Dvergr outpost fixtures and such

[merry pebble]

there are copper scraps there iirc

[paper marsh]

I think what I used to do was just collect iron in mistlands, then collect blackmetal from a nearby plains, and smelt it all there. Didn't bring any metals

[dense rapids]

Sometimes its great to have a bad memory. Just found half a cart full of stone that I forgot about 😄

[glass parrot]

How much black metal will I probably need?

[marble zealot]

Hello, we want to start a Valheim server if you are interested you can join

[frigid gust]

Alzheimers means you can plan your own surprise birthday party? 😛

[frozen void]

#1024264966712340510

[plush umbra]

hello

[paper marsh]

not too much. But prob bring a stack or two if you wanna be safe (I think one stack should be plenty unless you really wanna mass produce)

[glass parrot]

Alright

[frozen void]

A few stacks at least

It has a few important uses

[dense rapids]

Hi there!

[paper marsh]

you probably need to clarify what we've been asking tho bc the answer largely varies. Are you wanting to smelt a few resources in mistlands, or set up an entire base?

My answer is based on just smelting a bit there in a small outpost. Not setting up a bunch of workstations and all that

[dense rapids]

That fits better in #1024264966712340510

[glass parrot]

Small outpost just to be able to access non teleportable stuff and other resources

[frigid gust]

You need 10 blackmetal per sap extractor I believe, not sure there's not much else that needs it explicitly other than pots and pans for cooking upgrades

[paper marsh]

thing about mistlands materials that are used to make gear is that you need metal to collect the important resources there so you NEED to bring metal to mistlands (blackmetal), but once you collect mistlands resources those resources easily go through a portal back to your home. And for getting resource collection setup you'll be rich with just 30 blackmetal

[paper marsh]

I was thinking 10 too but wiki says 5 and I'm inclined to believe it. Blackmetal isn't used for anything else for resource collection in mistlands so everything else is just setup at home base outside mistlands

[frigid gust]

I might be misremembering as well 😛 I could have sworn it was 10, but it's been a minute since I've had to build one

[dense rapids]

sap extractor = 10 ygdrasil, 5 black metal, 1 extractor

[frozen void]

That specific wording is wrong. Its used for mining lol

[woven kettle]

I have a 57 inch ultra wide, is it possible to modify the UI via assets to bring the HUD to the middle of my screen?

[dense rapids]

Day 1680. The castle wall around our huge castle base (that we started on one year ago) is finally completed including Machicolations!

[paper marsh]

?

Blackmetal is used for resource collection (specifically mining)?

[frozen void]

That its not used for anything else for rrsource collection

[paper marsh]

ah I was reading the wrong of my messages but anyways seems right to me in context of what we were talking about. Blackmetal isn't used for anything else than the beforementioned sap mining for resource collection in mistlands. Not used for anything but the sap mining

was a confusing sentence tho

[frigid gust]

You need it to make the BM axe and pick, but you don't have to make those specifically in the Mistlands

[cyan herald]

Xbox reached out

[plush umbra]

Had to get a piece of the best Viking game around

[dense rapids]

I need the emote /slap so I can say "This bad boy isn't going anywhere" because my stone wall keeps falling down even though I'm adding more and more wood iron poles

[crimson wyvern]

Black metal is so free

Stacks on stacks of it in my base compared to other metals

[frigid gust]

Blackmetal is my main projectile resource once I hit the Mistlands, and even then I don't use it fast enough.

[dense rapids]

Yeah we are drowning in it. We have 3 standard chests full of them, and more in the smelter..

[crimson wyvern]

I like it

Plains to mjstlands progression is probably my favorite in the game

[paper marsh]

sameeee

[crimson wyvern]

It's a lot less dependent on finding and beating the boss before moving on to the next

[frigid gust]

I'm glad we can make Blackmetal chests and the various ammo with it, because after you make all the weapons it's largely useless

[paper marsh]

Plains and mistlands is a bunch of fun. BF and Swamp are a bit of a drag. Mountain is decent

[crimson wyvern]

Fs

It feels awful when the boss item is basically required to progress in the game

[drowsy magnet]

So PlayStation never reached out? Or are they not interested in early access?

[paper marsh]

Yea plains and mountain bosses can be hell to find sometimes

[cyan herald]

not AFAIK

and if my memory serves me right. playstation doesn't have a Early Access posiblity 🤔

but I'm not a PS owners so don't know for sure

[drowsy magnet]

Heresy!

I think they only want fleshed out titles

[dense rapids]

They're missing out...

[cyan herald]

probably 😄

but I'm not a programmer. so I can't even fathom how hard it is to port something to Playstation

[dense rapids]

At least they are missing out on Valheim 😎😍

[cyan herald]

my personal experience with ported titles from PS to PC is... not good 🥲

[frigid gust]

That's because so many titles for consoles are programmed to the specific hardware, and the devs often take a lazy approach and just adjust performance to the parameters of the hardware. Very similar to old games that locked the gameplay loop to the CPU speed, so when they got used on a newer computer they ran too fast to be playable.

[cyan herald]

yeah for sure :/
usually it's the controls which translates horrible to KBM :/

[frigid gust]

Hell, Bethesda famously had their physics engine tied to their framerate, so you would get really weird behavior on PCs that could crank out 100+ FPS in games that were developed and tested at 30-60FPS 😛

[dense rapids]

How did they think that would be a good idea..

[crimson wyvern]

Same with geometry dash

[frigid gust]

Because they capped the framerate to 30FPS for consoles, and figured that'd work for PCs too. It's actually useful if the framerate drops, because then the physics doesn't "get ahead" of what you can see, it just keeps running.

[cyan herald]

^ same for Xbox

I was explained why

and it's a very long explanation 😄

[gritty kayak]

and remember 11/11/11 was a different era of hardware so in short term thinking, tying physics to fps wasn't too wild at the time... until it became wild 😄

[frigid gust]

Back in my day we had the "Turbo" button on our PCs, which actually didn't make them faster but it slowed down the CPU clock so that old DOS games that were tied to the CPU speed would be playable 👴 They were built for a 286, and never thought that a 386 of 486 would be so much faster, or even come in different speed grades.

[gritty kayak]

or the math coprocesser that came about too ... no one understood how fast computers would evolve.

[drowsy magnet]

What are dos games 🤓

Haha I feel so young not knowing that

[regal spoke]

Oregon trail anyone

[cyan herald]

yeah.. I remember my 75Mhz processor went all the way to 90Mhz! 😮

[gritty kayak]

lol relics of a bygone era. Gamers had to setup an autoexec.bat to ensure system memory was properly setup before running the game let alone a soundcard or other peripherals. 😄

[plush umbra]

Duck only soup

[frigid gust]

DOS = Disk Operating System. It was one of the very early commonly available operating systems, and was the underpinning of Windows 3.1, 95, and even 98.

[light moat]

You have died of pneumonia.

[regal spoke]

Againnnnn!?

[plush umbra]

Dysentery got me so many times

[frigid gust]

Lemme tweak my config.sys and emm386 values so I can get enough highmem to enable my soundblaster, man...

[ember kraken]

Damn, critical hit right in the nostalgia. Tempting me to pull out some of my old laptops with DOS again just to play around.

[heady parcel]

Correct, they are apparently also obnoxious about certifying updates, making hotfixes and other hurried updates very awkward to push.

[cyan herald]

I'd expect that tho

[formal kraken]

insert disk 7 intensifies

[frigid gust]

Disk 26 of 32 is corrupt...

[hollow wing]

building i have t o say is probably my most fun thing to do in this game. ive just gotten to plains, the flies are pretty weak (when i hear them coming up on me i just slap them). Tar blobs are pretty annoying

[tardy coral]

Why am I seeing the same glowing particless that come from dropped items come from inside a rock?

[plush umbra]

First time I’ve seen someone actually using stealth #self-promotion message

Also the monkey cam was a great idea

[cinder vault]

What was this 38.1kb patch?

[vocal rivet]

There hasn't been a patch. It would be in #news and #valheim-patchnotes if there had.

[cinder vault]

doubt I can post links in here but it is in screenshots

[uncut spruce]

yo boys is there way how do i get my carrot farm reproductive?

[cinder vault]

#screenshots message

[uncut spruce]

or do i just have to always go into black forest for new seeds? no seed bearing phase for carrots?

[cyan herald]

it's just Steam doing random stuff

[tepid pike]

just plant carrots to get seeds, and before long you'll have more carrots than you know what to do with 😄

[uncut spruce]

i just collected 30 carrots and got no seeds out of them, did i do something wrong?

[hollow pine]

plant the carrot. not the seed

[uncut spruce]

oh

[tepid pike]

it's one of the options on your cultivator

[uncut spruce]

oh i see now what the hell, that's completely new for me

this is my first time getting into bronze age, ty guys

[vernal karma]

im not sure, but i think IRL that uncollected carrots automatically turn into seed carrots?

if left unpicked it continues the development afaik

[vocal rivet]

In real life? Vegetables usually have their seeds in the flower.

[spare marlin]

humming ommmmmmmmm

[frigid gust]

Have grown carrots, can confirm. Them turning to seeds eventually is not good game mechanics though 😉

[vocal rivet]

Well, that's me taught.

[paper roost]

true true, i would never have any vegetables in the game if that aply as in RL 😄

[frigid gust]

The part we eat of carrots are the roots. You can actually replant the carrot tops sometimes and regrow them.

[languid root]

Doesn't VEgetables stand for very easily getables?

[vocal rivet]

No.

[languid root]

Some day i will catch you on not knowing obvious stuff;)

[spare marlin]

Meat is my vegetables.

[vocal rivet]

OK? I was literally wrong about the carrots so it's not THAT unusual.

[languid root]

I mean more obvious stuff..

[frigid gust]

Vegetables don't actually mean anything scientifically, it's just a culinary classification

[paper roost]

it wasnt totally wrong, they make flowers on top of the carrots

[tardy coral]

Is a smelter worth building without a kiln/coal source?

[languid root]

If you have enough of coal

[tardy coral]

I don't have any

[vocal rivet]

You can always make coal by buring food if you really have to.

[buoyant lake]

Sacrilege

[tardy coral]

I'm growing tired of charring neck tails 💀

[vocal rivet]

If you're really short of resources, you can make a kiln first, burn a few stacks of charcoal and then dismantle it again to make a smelter.

[tardy coral]

Oooh great idea

[hidden wing]

🤔

Pretty sure you need to burn the stacks of wood to make charcoal, not burn stacks of charcoal. but to each their own I suppose

[languid root]

Ofc you burn wood into charcoal, but you also burn charcoal from wood

[spare marlin]

you 'burn' the charcoal to smelter whatever ore you have got, so yes 😉

[hidden wing]

🤔 NO

[spare marlin]

whatever.... 😅

[hidden wing]

You burn wood to make charcoal, you then use charcoal as fuel for the other things xD

[spare marlin]

that's what I said^^

[tardy coral]

Y'all trippin

Everyone knows you burn metal to make charcoal

[languid root]

What words exactly are we juggling here?

[regal spoke]

Salad

[spare marlin]

takes some charcoal to the grill, puts some meat on it and invites everyone to a healthy meal

[tardy coral]

You can also char some coal to get charcoal

It's common sense guys

[spare marlin]

and if you roast the meat long enough, you get charcoal again^^

[hidden wing]

Common sense isn't so common nowdays.. sorry not sorry

[spare marlin]

now I'm hungry.... 👀

[vague dove]

Just blow the trash up in the oblivator ( sp) presto magic COAL!

[plush umbra]

Common sense is just assuming people have had the same experiences anyway

[hidden wing]

Hence " Common Sense isn't very Common" Experiences have nothing to do with common sense...

[vague dove]

^

[plush umbra]

You can’t have sense without experience

[vague dove]

lmao

[languid root]

But you can simulate this experience without getting it actually

[spare marlin]

like some mon before germ?^^

[plush umbra]

“Common sense is often based on a combination of personal experiences, observations, cultural norms, and societal expectations. It encompasses practical knowledge and judgments about everyday situations that are generally accepted as sensible or reasonable within a particular context or culture.

While some aspects of common sense may be innate or instinctual, much of it is learned and developed through lived experiences and interactions with the world. People draw upon their past experiences, both successes and failures, to inform their decisions and actions in new situations”

[spare marlin]

still love your beard, btw 😉

[plush umbra]

I mean more complex than just experiences of course but it’s heavily apart of it

[tardy coral]

Oh ma gad

[plush umbra]

Thanks I grew it myself

[tardy coral]

Metallurgy turned into a philosphical debate

[vague dove]

oh good gawd, now we quoting the dictionary

[plush umbra]

Still love your plumage

[spare marlin]

thx it just happened to appear on me^^

[hidden wing]

Must be related to the other one in this discord...

[plush umbra]

Maybe it’s maybelline

[vague dove]

Maybe its generic

[tardy coral]

Are ancient seeds for summoning the Black Forest boss?

[plush umbra]

Yes

[hidden wing]

Yes

[tardy coral]

What's he called?

[hidden wing]

Other than that useless xD

[plush umbra]

The elder

[tardy coral]

Oooooh nice

[plush umbra]

He has some really cool attack animations. He’s why I bought the game in the first place

I saw a clip of his fight and was like okay I need to die by that

[tardy coral]

I suppose he's the big-ass tree sentinel, is fire effective against him?

[plush umbra]

Fire arrows are effective

[languid root]

Some elder made you buy it?

[plush umbra]

THE elder made me by

DR Elder to be exact put some respect on his name

[languid root]

Oh sorry THE elder. Granma?

[plush umbra]

Papap

[hidden wing]

LOL ^^

Granma Epic

[tardy coral]

Did the Elder also make the scrolls?

[plush umbra]

I did catch her with a quill

[hidden wing]

🤡

[fading fractal]

heyyy fellow xbox players im looking for new players to the game or old to play with me and my two friends on our new world

[plush umbra]

Try #1024264966712340510

[fading fractal]

thank youuuu

[spare marlin]

if they did, it explains, why he's blind XD

[plush umbra]

I really liked my last time fighting him since I stood eye level with him

[languid root]

I actually think it was his first time when he saw who he was fighting then

I don't think he can look down, he has got no neck, and his eye muscles if exist must be soo stiff

[tardy coral]

Is corewood from oak trees?

[frozen void]

from pines

[tardy coral]

Can I cut pines with a flint axe?

[frozen void]

yes

[tardy coral]

Oh perfect

[frozen void]

oak and birch needs metal axe and drops fine wood

[tardy coral]

Gotcha

Fir = Pine right?

Guess not

[spare marlin]

Fir is not Pine

[tardy coral]

Where do I find it

[spare marlin]

dark wood afaik

[tardy coral]

Black Forest?

[frozen void]

fir and pine are in black forest

fir are wide and not that tall

pine are thin and very tall

[tardy coral]

Oooh yeah

[languid root]

Are you playing just by imagining the game in your head?

[tardy coral]

What do you mean?

A troll just appeared fml

[languid root]

Idk just got this feeling. Like old school text quests

[tardy coral]

I died lol

The troll dug a mf copper deposit

[plush umbra]

That’s how people cheese skipping eikthyr since you can just get a troll to mine your first bronze pickaxe

[tardy coral]

Lol

I'm praying he fucking despawns

He did

He didn't.

[regal spoke]

Text based rpg's is it

[languid root]

Imagine you come back and he's finishing mining your deposit. That would be cool

[twilit onyx]

They get rid of voice chats?

[tardy coral]

I'm dead

Yeah, fuck pines

[vocal rivet]

Pretty much everything went with the hack, but they're working on bringing them back.

[twilit onyx]

Ahhh okay

[regal spoke]

Let the troll break the pines for you. Dodge roll into the attack

[tardy coral]

He has greydwarf goons

[languid root]

Let him not to kill you first

[regal spoke]

Decent time between attack to focus trash

[tardy coral]

Can I solo with flint spear and wooden round shield?

[regal spoke]

Yep

[tardy coral]

Can I parry?

[languid root]

A troll?

[tardy coral]

Yeah 💀

[regal spoke]

Everything but the big ground slam

[languid root]

Nope

It depends on your food as well

Health amount

[regal spoke]

Dodge roll is just safest route

[languid root]

Then you need stamina. Plenty of stamina to dodge roll

[tardy coral]

He disappeared

Found him 😭

[languid root]

Safest route is a bow

[tardy coral]

Do I engage?

I will

[regal spoke]

Good deal

[languid root]

I would strictly not recommend

[tardy coral]

Troll engaged

[regal spoke]

Watch the animations. Practice timing. Post a bed nearby for quicker re-engagement

[languid root]

Judging by the amount of deaths in the last couple mins

[tardy coral]

Guess what

[languid root]

I win

[tardy coral]

Indeed

Fucking greydwarfs keep distracting me, specially the shamans

[regal spoke]

Night time?

[tardy coral]

Ye

[languid root]

And the terrain. You forgot to blame the terrain

[regal spoke]

Shamans have to be prioritized for sure

[tardy coral]

Terrain was fine tbh

[languid root]

Nice, i was worrying about the terrain

[regal spoke]

Fighting on a hill is definitely tricky

[tardy coral]

This mf camping my loot

#screenshots

[regal spoke]

Heh

[languid root]

Try not to go there during night time first

Nothing good happens after 23:00

[tardy coral]

Fucking shaman again 😭

[uncut spruce]

so i just killed second boss, how do i get to swamps? is it always next to a black forest?

[regal spoke]

No

[tardy coral]

Fuck around, and you'll find out

[regal spoke]

Often times sailing is necessary

[uncut spruce]

ah, i hate sailing, very unreliable way of transport since wind affects it so much

[languid root]

Wind doesn't affect swimming, but it's even less reliable

[tardy coral]

At leasts dodging is easier than Elden Ring

[regal spoke]

Dang. Sorry. Sailing is a big part of Valheim

[uncut spruce]

yeah, i wish swimming skill would affect its speed instead of stamina drain only

[uncut spruce]

the game is pretty nice, i love the challenge of it so its something ill just deal with

[languid root]

Sailing is fun as soon as you master it enough

[uncut spruce]

oh yeah but rolls are pretty pointless imo

mostly running or walking away is just more reliable

[regal spoke]

Rolls have I frames and are a huge asset in combat

[languid root]

Dodge rolls are fun as soon as you master them enough

[uncut spruce]

do they ignore damage the moment you're in rolling animation?

[languid root]

Yes

[tardy coral]

He dead

Bozo troll can''t beat the fucking spear chad

[uncut spruce]

cause i just fought elder and i was pretty much invicible cuz before his stomp hit the ground i just ran away from the aoe damage

oh thats nice, i thought it works like in other games

[languid root]

Not the entire animation though

Some frames, that's why you need to master it

[languid root]

First troll?

[tardy coral]

Yessir

[regal spoke]

Congrats. Worth the deaths. Only gets easier

[tardy coral]

It's much easier without shamans

Trolls are just slightly harder than shamans imo

[uncut spruce]

you mean greyling shamans?

[tardy coral]

Yeah

A couple of spear throws and pokes and he's down

[languid root]

On the absolute scale of hardness there are some creatures inbetween for sure

[tardy coral]

What can I do with deer trophies??

I got 21

[languid root]

Hang them everywhere

And contemplate

You don't need them post eikthyr. Only for decorations

[uncut spruce]

so when it comes to sailing, how do you guys deal with change of wind? im going from kinda fast to extremely slow in just few minutes due to wind direction change

[regal spoke]

Draw sail back

[languid root]

I guess you can make a stagbreaker though

[uncut spruce]

you mean letting it go from 3 arrows up to none?

[regal spoke]

3 to 1

[uncut spruce]

thank you

[languid root]

Watch the animation icon as you sail

1 is paddling

[regal spoke]

You're welcome

[uncut spruce]

oh yeah i had no idea that's what made me quit the game when i played it first time, im glad i gave it a second chance

[regal spoke]

Drawing back to 1 before the wind is fully against helps maintain a little speed transitioning into paddle

[uncut spruce]

plenty of things that are just not explained

[gaunt sable]

I have a question I'm not sure if anyone will be able to answer lol

[uncut spruce]

thats good to know for future, ty

[gaunt sable]

I learned that you can't level any weapon skills off of birds when you shoot them because they aren't considered an enemy or something along those lines.

My question is, when fighting the elder, if you hit the "roots" he spawns, do those count towards your weapon skill or not

[regal spoke]

My pleasure. I like to set sail at break of day. Buy me the most time of daylight possible. Ocean at night is sketch

[plush umbra]

Is your plan to farm bow lvl on elder?

[gaunt sable]

I'm farming the elder because I want keys for some build ideas and the glow looks neat

and wondering if I'm wasting my time hitting the roots

[languid root]

I think roots count

[regal spoke]

You can check your skill stats of the weapon in question. To see if progress is being made.

[gaunt sable]

It's just a pain to check my stats while fighting him and figured I could save myself some time if anyone happened to know the answer lol

[paper roost]

the damage on the roots aply to skill points, but you wasting your time hitting them 😄

[tardy coral]

Stagbreaker hella weak

[languid root]

Yeah, the elder itself counts for sure

Better focus on him

[regal spoke]

Stag is blunt Ekho. Best to use on things weak to it.

[tardy coral]

Nvm it started dealing damage

[languid root]

Not so fast with assumptions

[paper roost]

i make it only as a tool, not a weapon 😄

[tardy coral]

I killed a mf ghost

[languid root]

Stagbreaker is good for burial chambers

[tardy coral]

I noticed

[gaunt sable]

Stagbreaker is good for aesthetic
