valheim-chat

[paper roost]

i thought that as well, until me and my friend tried to build something more complicated 😄

[plush umbra]

Its still fun to fight a raid even if it poses no threat to your base imo

[paper marsh]

I’m doing more but not max raids. They’re fun but can get annoying

[boreal meadow]

raids forces me to take the time to make a defended base, i could just turn em off yeah but i like the basebuilding mechanics and the challenge of making my base look good and functional

[paper roost]

we had like 10 raids before we were able to finish the build

[boreal meadow]

i currently just have a house on a hill 😄

[plush umbra]

I made a campfire, bed, and workbench at my mining site now I get raided there 😂

I’m terrified of the inevitable troll raid on very hard

Probably going to rush the elder as soon as I can

The fact that they run faster than your sprint changes the feel of them so much

[paper marsh]

I really wanna make an Ashlands base with a 2 star hardmode ice dvergr defending it. Mate would do mad damage

[near inlet]

I do the thing where I cultivate the top of them to get the different stone texture

[plush umbra]

It’s the shape that’s ugliest tbh

It is easy enough to hide them though

[night aspen]

Do i need to bring that key from the second boss to the swamp dungeons or something?

[paper roost]

yes

[merry pebble]

you need it in inventory to open the crypts

[deep wasp]

Have some Body space on a Server im German and English speaking

[night aspen]

do i need one key for every crypt?

[paper roost]

no

[paper marsh]

No, reusable

[night aspen]

nice

[merry pebble]

you only need the one you get, its reusable

[paper marsh]

Don’t forget to bring your poison resist

[plush umbra]

If you’re looking for a place to play or looking for new people #1024264966712340510

[deep wasp]

That was my First try thx

[plush umbra]

There’s plenty of servers that’ll be happy to have you there tbh

[mystic falcon]

Daww

[plush umbra]

I see your post now it’s only been 3minutes

[near inlet]

god can you imagine lol

[paper marsh]

I think I might make a wall of my base dedicated to “close calls” I’ve had with death in the server. Will help me remember how easily I could lose my world

[night aspen]

bring my what? xD

[merry pebble]

do you know how to make mead?

[plush umbra]

You’ll really really need it

[night aspen]

yeah, ive atleast that barrel

[merry pebble]

then you will need to make a mead base in a cauldron 😄

[night aspen]

i am german, if there is something i can do then its brewing mead 😄

[merry pebble]

materials needed: ||10 honey||, ||5 thistle||, ||1 neck tail|| and|| 10 coal||

[merry pebble]

cheers to that 😄 i am from czechia so i know a thing or two also 😄

[paper marsh]

I’m from Earth, do I qualify for being a mead maker?

[merry pebble]

i don´t see why not 😄

[plush umbra]

They just make moonshine in my part

I’ve had to explain what mead is to people since there’s a lot of people who have never heard of it

[night aspen]

Yes you are, just without the extra bonus of brewing skill. 😂

[plush umbra]

Only a couple places here that have mead so when I’m like “yeah Lowe mill is cool they’ve got over 200 artists and a pub with mead” people are like what’s mead

[paper marsh]

What if I’m also from Denmark

[night aspen]

extra mastery of being drunk

[night aspen]

isn't that pretty close to all those vikings anyway? brew your mead dude! 😄

[paper marsh]

It is those Vikings!

But I’ve been away from Denmark for 8 years so my brewing skill@may have deteriorated

[languid root]

It's easier to name places not qualified enough about brewing stuff;)

[night aspen]

No excuse xD

[plush umbra]

Hold a horn it’ll come back to you

[languid root]

It's so romantic..

[paper marsh]

My dad did use to brew beer in our house maybe some of that knowledge rubbed off

[plush umbra]

farming feels like an unlimited food glitch in this game

everything just tripples

[languid root]

That's what farming really is. A bit exaggerated

[plush umbra]

props to the devs for not restricting it ig

[paper marsh]

Or doubles

[light moat]

Life is simply an unlimited food glitch

[fresh jasper]

I managed to sail a boat some what far away from the shore today

Then it got stuck on a rock and me and my friend had to break it

It was not a good place to crash because it was black forest and a troll approached us (we died)

[urban stream]

Dang. I missed brewing talk 😭

[paper marsh]

Think there’s a lot of people in the world who would disagree 😔

[paper marsh]

Too drunk to check discord I bet

[urban stream]

Not yet 😉

I was at work. At a brewery. I'm a full time brewer lol

[paper marsh]

Brewing mead?

[smoky quarry]

Dp you make beer with love?

[night aspen]

how many antidot mead is recommended for each crypta?

[odd helm]

Each lasts for 10 minutes

[paper marsh]

1 or 2. I usually use like just over 1

[odd helm]

it's not an antidote, you should drink it beforehand to get the full effect

[smoky quarry]

more like a vaccine

[night aspen]

ah i see, thought they re like life potions

[frozen void]

If you drink it after bring poisoned, it wont have any effect

[night aspen]

kk

[maiden minnow]

Can lox attack in sea?

[fresh jasper]

Every enemy can

[languid root]

Idk i love this randomness of questions here))

Never know what to expect

[vocal rivet]

How is that particularly random?

[urban stream]

Beer only

[paper marsh]

all enemies can, but if it's deep they can't reach you. Except if they're ranged (lox are not)

[languid root]

Lox can, but serpents don't even think about it for sure.

[urban stream]

I do! I love my job

[light moat]

Did you just react with a fax machine? That is absolutely incredible 😂 very creative sir!

[languid root]

It's random from my point of view

[fresh jasper]

Do I remember wrong or did the deathsquito trophy have a really low drop chance?

[frozen void]

Some trophies had 1% dropchance

I think it mightve been one

[paper marsh]

What is cultist trophy at rn, 5%?

[frozen void]

Yeah it was 1%

[fresh jasper]

Yeah I remember that I didn't get one until some patch and now I get at least one every playtrough

[frozen void]

10%

[paper marsh]

ah much better than I expected. Fenris helmet not so far out of reach

[fresh jasper]

From what I know no trophy has a dropchance smaller than 10%

[frozen void]

You shoul get like2-3 trophies before you hsve enough fur to max the set

Statistically

[fresh jasper]

Last time I was in the mountains I had to clear 8 caves just to get the trophy...

[smoky quarry]

If i may, whats the name of the beer?

[frozen void]

Diring testing i did about 100 caves. For like 30 or so of them i counted all the fur and trophies. 1 cave should drop around 20 fur and i think like on average a trophy every 3 caves

[bright rock]

I was once again reminded of how dangerous spawners can be, damn thing spawned a 2 star draurg on top of the one star archers

[paper marsh]

fact

I always try to be careful not to kill regular enemies spawned from spawners out of fear of the spawner spitting out starred ones. When you come in there and there's just a group of stars chilling it's scary tho

[urban stream]

I work for a very small place and I'm the only full time employee besides owners. Don't want to doxx myself

[twin cedar]

Anyone hosting a pvp rp crossplatform server
Cant find shit in the lfg section

[rapid bison]

Can try the steam forums, I suppose.

[rapid bison]

Try searching the #1024264966712340510 while having the crossplay tag up and using pvp in your search.
Or role play if that interests you more.

[odd helm]

Or create a post of your own if you can't find what you're looking for

[twin cedar]

90% of the posts are made by some guy called lucasf88 or something

And he just refuses to respond to anyone sadly lol

[tardy coral]

Do fallen trees (logs) despawn?

[odd helm]

They shouldn't

[tardy coral]

Aight

[regal spoke]

^

[rapid bison]

You'll wish they do if one lands on your house though, heh.

[frigid gust]

Welcome to the server, newbie! 😛

[vocal rivet]

I don't see a single post by that name.

[twin cedar]

Really? Im looking at one rn?

[regal spoke]

I feel similar about lfg. Narrowing search with filters helps a little. Found a server with a good community after trying at least ten. Pvp may make the search that much harder. Idk

[plush umbra]

Idk I scrolled through a few dozen and didn’t see any by him maybe it’s your filter

[twin cedar]

Probably

[boreal meadow]

am i able to spawnrpoof areas that are not within claimed area (workbench radius)

such as placing fires or torches around for example, without it being claimed by a workbench

[plush umbra]

Campfires also work

[rapid bison]

Beds too

[vocal rivet]

Many items perform spawn protection, including all those you've listed.

Everything on here: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[frigid gust]

Campfires are good for areas that enemies might wander near because they don't draw enemy aggro, and don't need to be fueled to work. Most other player base structures attract enemy ire instantly.

[boreal meadow]

Perfect. Thanks

[plush umbra]

I’m feeling ire-ily

Irate doesn’t have the same feel

[vocal rivet]

At least it's a real word.

[frigid gust]

Ire-ish? 🍀

[plush umbra]

Why does ire have to be a noun not an adverb

[regal spoke]

Up for a bit of argy bargy Germ?

[plush umbra]

We can make ireily a real word

[plush umbra]

That sounds like a trash barge with a lot of aggression

[regal spoke]

Lol

Gass will do that

[plush umbra]

I didn’t know that was a real saying till I just googled it 😂

I couldn’t imagine hearing someone seriously be like “can yall knock the argy bargy off”

Idk how you use it to be fair

[vocal rivet]

Clearly.

[plush umbra]

Let me just leave the server so Derek can stop getting so irritated over nothing

[vocal rivet]

Huh? I'm not irritated at all.

[hollow wing]

nice 2 star troll killed my lox

[bright rock]

Certainly not impossible to do

But still a surprise

[exotic cradle]

What's with you and 2star trolls

[hollow wing]

i never killed it so it just kept healing up and returning

hardly a surprise. Troll had 80% of hp, Lox 100%, lox was destroyed and Troll still had like 40%

[bright rock]

Lox has a slash attack and a blunt attack while trolls has all blunt, i thought the lox would have the upper hand

Since theyre both resistant to blunt

[hollow wing]

brought him over to a tar pit, those blobs took care of him nicely

[jade vessel]

gg I was the 2star troll:)

[frigid gust]

That's why you ping the troll with an arrow to the dome, and give the lox a shot or two of stagger-boosted damage

[plush umbra]

I’d play a mod where you can split into teams of mobs and players

[jade vessel]

dude ur videos are so comfy 😄

[plush umbra]

Like left 4 dead style vs mode

[exotic cradle]

Aw thank you! That's what I'm aiming for 😄

[plush umbra]

Gonna get directed to another channel before I know it

[lunar sapphire]

#valheim-chat

[obtuse cloud]

balanced game 🫠

[plush umbra]

Not the channel I expected

[lunar sapphire]

[latent wraith]

But perhaps the channel you deserved.

[plush umbra]

I figured someone would of swooped in with the mod discussion channel right after I said the vs thing

[hollow wing]

time to go into deep plains territory to find the barley

i think its barley that im looking for. or something.

[lunar sapphire]

Take what's rightfully yours!

[hollow wing]

i assume thats gonna unlock a bunch of things

[latent wraith]

A bunch of barley is going to unlock things.

[obtuse cloud]

the barley thing is most realistic thing from valheim, you need a shitton of these to actually craft goods

just like real world

[hollow wing]

the frostner just blows the fulings out of the world

fog rolls as in just as i reacher the village

[paper marsh]

I never noticed how greydward nests whisper. That's cool

[exotic cradle]

free asmr in the woods

[plush umbra]

that whisper can be faintly heard from surprisingly far away too

i tend to hear nests long before i find them

[exotic cradle]

the nest whisperer

[plush umbra]

I don’t play with my sound loud enough I just end up seeing the glow and smokiness?

[hollow wing]

about 5 fulings and a berserker chasing me. berserker im just not gonna face head on cause ive never fought him

[plush umbra]

if there's line of sight, then that is indeed easier 😅

(by "far" i mean "seemingly render distance" far)

[plush umbra]

They hit very very hard

[hollow wing]

they do. so bow seems most effective.

when i kill these bastards in the village they dont respawn i assume, ive seen a troll wipe out a village and they havent respawned

[plush umbra]

They’re one time spawns

[grave bone]

They don't respawn but random fulings may spawn in the village

[frigid gust]

A blackmetal atgeir spin will stagger a non-starred berserker on normal difficulty, I believe. It's manageable 😉

[plush umbra]

I was fighting one in a tunnel slowly but surely with melee since it couldn’t reach me if I rolled back into the narrower part. Guess who chipped away the ceiling and one shot me with part of that swing combo

[hollow wing]

its only when they start ganging up you they are a threat. cause they seem to come from different directions they run in circles like idiots randomly

[obtuse cloud]

hello winter, remember me?

[drowsy magnet]

New number Who dis

[plush umbra]

should i be concerned

[cyan herald]

[grave bone]

https://tenor.com/view/metalhead-head-bang-calling-friend-flat-eric-phone-gif-16168413

[paper roost]

its not most effective, but its most safe 🙂

i got the cultist trophy finaly

[jade vessel]

“Pspspsps” - the forest

[heady parcel]

Met my first starred berserker tonight, was scary. I dragged him back to the forest and let greys distract him while I peppered him with arrows. No way in hell I go toe-to-toe with that monster 😂

[jade vessel]

No go toe toe, go ankle to ankle

[drowsy magnet]

They're actually pretty easy to handle. When they do their triple attack combo, if you step back a bit they end up swinging wildly, hitting nothing lol

[heady parcel]

I am however world champion at mistiming dodge rolls and suchlike, best for me to not let them get anywhere near me!

[plush umbra]

ello

[rapid bison]

Box the first boss, bare handed. Good way to get used to dodging.

More of a death wish without food buffs and armor, though.

[paper roost]

quite acurate description 🙂

[plush umbra]

☠️ 👌

[rapid bison]

I never appreciated that rested buff more when limiting myself to 25 health against that deer God

[kind pendant]

I remember back then where I thought the first boss was a bit hard to beat so I geared up well. It was incredibly easy XD.

[rapid bison]

If bosses could get star levels. Well on very hard mode, Eikthyr hits like a troll.
That means the trolls hit like... two trolls I reckon.

[kind pendant]

Question, how much of a big difference do modes make?

[hollow wing]

time to retrieve items from plains.

[slate glacier]

ah fun. good ol' deathsquitos...
there are folks that will help you retrieve items if need be, but i question if i should even mention their name round here

[hollow wing]

i was almost done killing the berserker with arrows

[kind pendant]

Those squitos are sooo annoying

[hollow wing]

then i went in for a quick one with the frostner... then dead, 100 hp reduced to 0

[hollow wing]

with a weapon i dont think so, as long as you can hear them timing it is pretty easy with a sword or a mace

[slate glacier]

with timing and any weapon, yeah easily manageable.

[kind pendant]

Oh alright

I was just doing it wrong I guess lol

[hollow wing]

better to practice when you have proper armor though and health lol

[kind pendant]

Also, is it just me or are the fulings weirdly strong..?

[slate glacier]

yes absolutely. (that wasnt the case on my first kill.)

[rapid bison]

On very hard, enemies have their stats roughly set to two star level.
And run faster. Other modes can be more benign.

[kind pendant]

Wow

[hollow wing]

they are when you have iron/bronze armor. lvl 2 wolf armor and then not so much.

[kind pendant]

Oh aight thanks for the info and tips!

[obtuse cloud]

guys i have a question, do you also say a lot "that took a lot of time"?

[kind pendant]

And honestly, off the top of my head I don’t quite remember, but is there hardcore mode? Or is it just hard mode

[plush umbra]

Hardcore is the highest death penalty setting

[regal spoke]

Especially when building

[plush umbra]

For difficulty it goes hard then very hard

[frozen void]

more often "this is gonna take a long time" because getting from point 1 to point 2 might require 15 steps lol

[gritty kayak]

or I'm out of <insert item needed to complete recipe>

[plush umbra]

Especially when you don’t know what the steps are yet

I basically ignored thistle and threw it out of my inventory all the time in the Black Forest phase just to kick myself when I realized how much I needed later on for a lil example

[regal spoke]

Mushrooms is often under rated as well

[obtuse cloud]

the same with berries

or dantelion lol

[slate glacier]

dandelions are scattered everywhere though, I usually find them too close to my base and throw em. they respawn before I ever need them.

[regal spoke]

Always interesting to see what different communities prioritize.

[slate glacier]

I do find mapping "foraging routes" to be useful early game though. (or later if I ever need to come back for mushrooms)

[regal spoke]

I'm this way as well

[slate glacier]

its less of routes as they are waypoints, as I'll never get to the point where proper route mapping/optimization is useful unless I'm doing hardcore set seed attempts.

i should do that.

[regal spoke]

Not sure I'll ever take on the no map challenge

[slate glacier]

once im done ashlands prep run (i don't have a main world thanks to file corruption), I'll probably do a modified hardcore run.

[regal spoke]

Mods or adjusting certain sliders?

[frozen void]

"im gonna go here, but for that i need this, but for that i need these two things, and for that i need-"

[slate glacier]

slider/bool adjustments for now.

[slate glacier]

ah yes... that pain.

eh, for mountains i need iron gear and "non-toxic antifreeze", a crap ton of stone...
to get, i need fine wood for a chair, an outpost near the swamps... bleeeck.

[gritty kayak]

yeup - tonight is beer and logging. need regular wood. <cleans axe and preps inventory and storage cart>

[slate glacier]

Aw i should get into writing combat improvement mods for this game! I already have some familiarity with unity, so I'd assume it should be manageable.

[slate glacier]

yeah, i too have a wood grind to do tonight.

[austere horizon]

does anyone know if theres a way to stop incoming tide coming through walls?

on a multiplayer world where they decided to build on a smallish island and i dont have anywhere to build so trying to build underwater;-;

[gritty kayak]

no. as i understand it the water level is set worldwide and unalterable

you can get more stone and raise the level of the land with a hoe

not sure if that is feasible for you .

[slate glacier]

to my understanding that'd require a complete rework of how water works unfortunately 😦

[austere horizon]

ohh thats a good idea

ohh ;-; aw i understand in that case!

we also cant make any sand pathing or anything else yet also?

sorry i've only just gotten back into the game ;-;

[gritty kayak]

yes with the hoe there is a "pathen" feature which creates a "walk path"

a cultivator will "restore" the look of sand for the beach if you use the plant grass feature

[frigid gust]

You can also make stone path in range of a stonecutter

[gritty kayak]

thats after you alter the landscape up or down with your hoe.
referring to my earlier comment of adjusting the level

[austere horizon]

ohhh

tysmmm 😄 sorry about the questions

[plush umbra]

You don’t need to be sorry for asking questions that’s for sure

Corewood might help out building up above the wave level as well if you aren’t too far progression wise

[tardy coral]

I feel an urge to build a road connecting the nearby black forests to my house so that I can cart with ease

Some roman type shit

[plush umbra]

Anytime I use a cart I keep my hoe out and just flatten as I go

Sure it’s slower than just sprinting but I like having the path when I go back home already flattened

[tardy coral]

I'm trynna build a lil village/base of operations with individual buildings

I already have a house and a storage building, I plan on building a workshop soon, and then a small port

[regal spoke]

Hope ya post pictures

[tardy coral]

Remind me tomorrow, just closed the game

But you might be able to find a screenshot of the house on #screenshots

[regal spoke]

Alright I'll give a look

[tardy coral]

@regal spoke #screenshots message

It's slightly different outside and somewhat furnished now

[regal spoke]

I've yet to harness my inner interior decorator.

[paper marsh]

It would be nutty if you did tho

[regal spoke]

Downright bonkers

[merry pebble]

Good early morning guys 😄

[paper marsh]

Good late evening my dear Asatru

[rain flare]

Do it

[gray nexus]

just do it

[chilly niche]

anyone have server?

[charred forge]

idk if this is the right channel but anyone got a good auto chicken farm that they know of? all the ones i know of have been patched lol

[plush umbra]

Evening, whats everyone up to?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-5lD3sNH_Y
you can use this to get an idea, and modify as you like

[plush umbra]

when you just got 30 iron back to your outpost and your game crashes and now you havent a drop of iron

[wise latch]

It's a feature

[worthy gate]

When ashlands ffs

[hollow pine]

first half 2024 ffs

[fair cairn]

do a tiny bit of research ffs

[silver shoal]

Guys, I need ETA on Ashlands pronto

[fair cairn]

eta in next 5 months

[silver shoal]

Unacceptable.

[exotic cradle]

Can't tell if people are trolling or genuinely asking anymore

[fair cairn]

ill just assume everyone is a moron that asks

[exotic cradle]

😮 not nice!

[fair cairn]

dont care!

[exotic cradle]

You should care, no need for insulting people ^^

[fair cairn]

i shouldnt care about people that have no abbility to read

[hollow pine]

• lacking politeness

[cyan herald]

what's going on in here? 🤔

[hollow pine]

typical "when ashlands" stuff

[odd marsh]

more time for me to finish building stuff, thats how i see it

[thick shard]

Hey how is everyone doing?

[odd marsh]

fine fine, just woke up. its 5:28pm

[thick shard]

Then evening mate

[uncut spruce]

is it better to just make some small shelter in the swamp to get iron? like man i filled up my longboat thinking 4 stacks would be good but everything that includes iron takes way more than I expected

[odd marsh]

yea, best thing for you to do would be is to make a tree house

and brought my smelters there

[uncut spruce]

thank you

[toxic rose]

Or crypt house)

[uncut spruce]

i was thinking that i could prob craft things straight in jungle, so how high level of forge do i need for it?

wondering if i gotta take bunch of bronze with me

[odd marsh]

i just usually look for a swamp thats close to the forest. or just bring a few copper and tin with me for the smithing table upgrades but rank 1 should be fine

after you got iron just make a longship. it has more inventory

[uncut spruce]

awesome

is there way how i can also get rid of wet debuff in swamps?

[exotic cradle]

No, it always rains in the swamps 😦

[paper roost]

if you need rest, just make a campfire in the entrance of the crypt

[grave bone]

On the positive side - there is no fog in the swamps

[paper roost]

btw hi all

[uncut spruce]

i was thinking if there's some potion to remove it or clothes that won't let rain soak through

[exotic cradle]

There isn't, no

[uncut spruce]

appreciate it ty

[paper roost]

i usually bring 6 copper and 2 bronze to the swamp, build "something" on the top of the crypt, craft everything there and than move on

[grave bone]

When i parry with a shield how is the armor calculated? (Parry bonus * shield armor) + regular armor or is it something else?

[odd marsh]

also be sure to bring a pocket portal, youll need it to repair some of your stuff. its faster that way if the crypt is a bit far

[gray nexus]

If you block, then first shield resistance is applied, then block armor is applied, then your other resistance is applied, then your armor is applied

as for parry

it's simply multiplies your block armor by the multiplier

[fair cairn]

bucklers suck if your bad at parrying
so... banded shields are the best option then cause a failed parry could still block decent amount of damage

[grave bone]

@gray nexus thanks!

[odd marsh]

pretty much, unless your one of those sekiro,shifu,dark souls, elden ring type of dudes

im not one of them btw

[gray nexus]

I prefer normal shields over buckler either way

[fair cairn]

was never really a fan of those types of games

[odd marsh]

dont like the timing stuff? i personally just love the sceneries xD

[fair cairn]

GTA was fun and survival games were fun
tank games were fun
plane games were fun
games like dark souls, not so much

[paper roost]

i ve done some testing last night, with mountain tier food, fenris leggins and chest(lvl3), drake helmet(lvl1) and fully upgraded iron buckler you can parry (barely) wolfs on very hard difficulty. without the helmet it didnt work

[fair cairn]

i would rather have fun than replay the same mission 30 times

[odd marsh]

the amount of stone i have while mining silver, is insane

any suggestions on what should i build with it? xD

[grave bone]

Towers!

[tepid pike]

Walls!

[odd marsh]

THE GREAT WALL OF VALEHIM!

[heady parcel]

I usually locate a hut at or near the beach, set up a portal there and use it as a field base while sacking the crypts in the area, when done I build the longship, load it with my spoils, dismantle the portal and leave.

[odd marsh]

like a true viking, pillage and leave xD

[heady parcel]

Haha yeah!

[paper roost]

yeah, thats also good option. i m more adict to be close the surtling spawners, couse i m lazy to do coal myself 😄

[odd marsh]

hmmm i wonder how much coal does the ||obliterator|| give

[exotic cradle]

Almost zero 🥲

[grave bone]

Depends on the items. I think a trophy = 1 coal, other stuff like stone = 0.1 coal

[odd marsh]

1:1 for trophies hmmm. readies axe, and goes to teh spawners

[grave bone]

Getting coal from kilns might be faster 🙂

[odd marsh]

yea pretty much, since im a bit of a psychopath not diagnosed ima just go dismember them xD

[opal prairie]

Howdy gjall.

[gray nexus]

I have been afking my greydwarf farm for stone, and I obliterate pretty much everything except stone and wood for now (even resin), safe to say I have enough coal that I wouldn't ever need more

hopefully

[opal prairie]

Who knows maybe Ashlands hits and coal is used of everything.

[gray nexus]

do what

[opal prairie]

Farm the greydwarfs while afk, using fires, wolves, skeletons, pufferfish, processed eitr?

[gray nexus]

i mean i doubt they'll completely remove surtlings right? idk I haven't been keeping up with ashlands news. They drop a lot of coal too

I use fire

Standing braziers

[opal prairie]

True. We'll see it when it gets here, see it when it gets he here.

[opal prairie]

Almost buried ones or all very close together? Running over the fire to collect or can you safely run around it to pick it all up?

[gray nexus]

I just run over it

With armor it doesn't matter, if you eat food atleast

I have had an unfortunate accident involving smoke and a 2 star brute though

😂

[hollow wing]

anything special i should do when building a base in plains?

[rain flare]

Do you know how to spawn protect an area?

You need to spawn protect your base cause those death 🦟 will mess you up if you don’t

[hollow wing]

i thought fire also prevents spawning

[rain flare]

They do

Fires, crafting stations, wards, etc.

Hence I asked if you know how to spawn protect a space 🔥

You need to do that in a fairly large area so the mobs don’t come knocking

[opal prairie]

Any player based structure does: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[rain flare]

The little buzzers will hit you at unexpected times and lox are horrible for structural integrity 😂

[tardy coral]

Is it faster to walk from one side of an island to another, or to sail around it?

[vocal rivet]

Depends on the size of the island, honestly.

[opal prairie]

Depends on the size and shape of the island.
If its a long thin island then it is faster to walk if you want to cross the thin side and faster to sail for the long side, if it is circular it might be quicker to sail but that depends on how big the island is and what boat you are using and a few more variables, triangle shape probably sailing.

[tardy coral]

Kinda big I think

[vocal rivet]

If you've got a mountain to traverse I think a boat would definitely be quicker

[tardy coral]

Gotcha

When do I get access to the stonecutter?

I need Iron, don't i?

[opal prairie]

Correct so swamp.

[tardy coral]

Damn

The swamp's on that other side of the island lol

[opal prairie]

If traversing the island is a regular thing, I would time it, sail from point a to point b and then run from point b to point a and see what was quicker.

[tardy coral]

I guess I'll explore the nearby Black Forests a lil more before setting sail

Or maybe I'll build a small port soon

[heady parcel]

I recently set sail to reach the nearest smouldering tomb from my base, I reached a forest beach, made a guess and turned to port. Hours and half a world later I had to turn around because Mistlands blocked my way, so I sailed all the way back and took the other route - and much later I realised that tomb was actually located on the landmass I had been trying to get around. It was bloody HUGE haha, probably the biggest island I've seen in the game so far. Still haven't mapped even a fourth of it. Seems to have all biomes except Ashlands...

[opal prairie]

Dang I'd love to see the seed.

[heady parcel]

I have intentionally not looked it up, it's just the random world that came with the server 😄

[opal prairie]

You can share though.

[heady parcel]

How do I figure out the seed?

[opal prairie]

Go to where you select the world you want to play in, you can view it there.

[heady parcel]

It's a dedicated server, it only shows the IP 😕

I should be able to upload the world file to the map generator, I'll figure it out after work 😄

[tardy coral]

Am I trippin or is my bronze spear breaking faster than the flint?

[vocal rivet]

Durability is the same.

[ember kraken]

Compare durability, forgot the exact numbers, but a level 4 flint spear might have higher dura than a level 1 bronze spear.

[vocal rivet]

Hm, I was comparing level 1s there.

[rain flare]

Sounds like my home island 🥰
Both merchants, mountains with frost caves, swamps, plains, Black Forest.

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, 250 for level 4 flint and 100 for level 1 bronze.

[rain flare]

Small hop across a pond to mistlands and a queen spawner with Ashland’s across the way 🥳

[tall kernel]

Hi! do we know around when valheim gonna get ashlands out?

[tardy coral]

Till april I think

[junior hazel]

didn’t they say like first half of 2024?

[heady parcel]

Yeah durability is a huge part of why upgrades are good 😄

[tardy coral]

Damn

[vocal rivet]

No-one has mentioned April.

[tardy coral]

I've read someone say it would release on the 1st quarter as well on the 1st half

[ember kraken]

Check the pins for official answer about when-ashlands

[tardy coral]

That's why I mentioned april

[heady parcel]

I'd not trust any source other than the official channels tbh

[vocal rivet]

For one, April is in the second quarter and the devs have NEVER said first quarter.

[azure yacht]

The only "someone" that would matter saying this is a dev.

Absolutely no one else

[tardy coral]

Until april

[vocal rivet]

Either way, that's misinformation.

[tardy coral]

Bruh chill, not that big of a deal 😩

[heady parcel]

Besides, I need time to get to (and through) mislands, so it can drop June 30th for all I care. Or Midsommar, that would be kinda fitting

[vocal rivet]

No, it's not. As you've just done yourself you can see how easy it can be for people to see something in the Discord and assume it's official.

[azure yacht]

It is, bc people believe it and if the update is not released before April then people go mad bc "they said it was gonna be April max", when it was not the case

[tardy coral]

💀

And then the planet explodes or sum

[smoky quarry]

whats this mambojambo?

[azure yacht]

It's also not a big deal that a dev votes for a suggestion in the suggestion channel but I've already seen like a dozens arguments about it

Don't be surprised

[heady parcel]

Dev vote = wotsit confirmed, rhaaaaaaa!!!1! or somesuch?

[smoky quarry]

i think patience is a very rare virtue these days, as in 1 in 1000

[tardy coral]

Real

[ember kraken]

"Patience? How long does that take!?"

[smoky quarry]

to much scrolling right/left/up/down makes Johnny a bad boi

[tardy coral]

Buckler worth upgrading?

[merry pebble]

Absolutely

[opal prairie]

Indubitably!

[ember kraken]

Generally yes, if you use it a lot, shields tend to be one of the overall better things to upgrade.

[tardy coral]

Aighty

[obtuse cloud]

Hello, I was thinking that after looting sunken crypts i should start mapping more of my map, my big island is not enough good for me 🫠

[gaunt sable]

I finally got to mistlands in my run with my buddy we started on new years, and now we have two full chests of salads and idk what to do with myself anymore

[opal prairie]

Go forth and multiply, euhm explore.

[paper roost]

get better stamina food 😄

[exotic cradle]

Not nearly enough salad

Salad IS the best stamina food

[opal prairie]

That can be a side dish to your omelette.

[paper roost]

its the cheap best stamina food

[exotic cradle]

Henceforth, best

[gaunt sable]

I haven't started making any chickens yet cuz I want to make an actual farm that isnt our "we got the cultivator make a spot" and I want a chicken coop next to the farm

[opal prairie]

I propose the plains for a big farm, you can grow 5 crops there, nice views, nice music and the enemies aren't that tough once you are able to make salads.
Do make sure to spawn proof the place, certainly near your chicken coop.

[gaunt sable]

I have fiddled with the idea, and just generally prefer having all the nonsense in one big area in our meadows base. We don't want to relocate for cosmetic purposes relating to yule trees and him being drunk, so it's just expanding around that lol

whenever I make a plains farm I like to combine it with mistlands just so I can have a mushroom spot because it looks neat if you find the right area.

Then have a portal by the meadows farm to the plains/mist farm

[opal prairie]

I see, so a big base in the meadows, a small base in the plains for flax and barley and another small base in the mistlands for the shrooms.
Same like me and my buddy did in our first playthrough.

[smoky quarry]

yea, i got the same strategy. Fort outposts with main base

[gaunt sable]

having a half plains half mistlands farm is neat because all the rabbits just get murdered by the local plains wildlife

[opal prairie]

Next play trough we will make a meadows base that is for chilling but will have everything that is available so you can craft and do stuff in relative peace.
Main base will be in plains, big farm, chicken tower, wolf pit and lox enclosure, with a few buildings dedicated to cooking, smithing, ...
Small fort base in the mistlands for the shrooms, preferably near a mine for the royal jelly.

The lox enclosure will have a portion of low wall so a few loxes can escape and be base defense.

[smoky quarry]

Like this place, can make a fort farm in fields with all crops incl mist. Also extra Dverg tower + marble: #screenshots message

[heady parcel]

Managed to extract the seed no: gLESUvIPG6 (Couldn't resist taking a peek, the island I was navigating isn't even the biggest one, there is one to the west that almost goes all the way from Far North to Ashlands, looks like a good nightmare to explore... Now to try and un-see the map!)

[near inlet]

not enough salads

[hollow pine]

sry to bring that up again but i want to clarify that it was mistakenly stated in the channel description of the general channel that ashlands will be released in Q1 24. we were confused and pointed it out and bc it was a mistake, Smiffe corrected it to first half 24. so pls be kind to ppl who are still confused by that unfortunately wrong but technically offical information and tell them it is a misinformation.

[vocal rivet]

'sry to bring that up again' - Then there was no need. I already pointed out it was misinformation.

[hollow pine]

i was refering to "see someting in the discord and assume it's official". it was kinda.

[opal prairie]

Nice find that.

[opal prairie]

Sweet, thanks!

[strange cobalt]

Hi,

1. do you think that full version should be available next summer?
2. Is there still expansion plan "ships and sea"? Or this is no longer planned?
   thanks

[vocal rivet]

Next summer? I would be surprised. And no, feel free to disregard anything from the 2021 roadmap that was removed in 2021. All we know for definite is Ashlands and Deep North are the remaining two biomes and there's PROBABLY an update to Oceans happening but no details as to how much that would include.

[heady parcel]

On my last server I found a narrow strip of mistlands that cut from a mountain to the sea, with black forest to the north and plains to the south. It was so small that no seekers or honkers were spawning, but there were roots and hares and soil enough for a shroom farm. Absolutely perfect spot!

[strange cobalt]

Thank you. Oceans was my favourite part, hope they improve it a bit.

[exotic cradle]

Yeah I have old (as in spiderwebs old) patches of Mistlands on my seed, they're perfect for chill farming

[dapper rain]

what do you call undead undead in a land of undead?

if that's what valheim is

[smoky quarry]

undies

[exotic cradle]

undeader

[bright rock]

Non-living dead

Actually, Non-living undead

[dapper rain]

reminds me of those things from beetlejuice

i cant remember if they had a specific name

[opal prairie]

Doesn't a negative and a negative make a positive? So undead + undead = dead?
Un being the negative part.

[heady parcel]

Not sure that particular mathematical law applies to living status, but maybe un-un-living and un-living 😄

[dapper rain]

if valheim were a souls-like, they would just get even more deathly/undead

which is sorta what they do

[bright rock]

Undead + Undead should actually still be Undead

Un cancels eachother and 2 dead is undead

[light moat]

Undead x undead = life

[dapper rain]

undead + undead = undefined

divide by zero

[opal prairie]

What have I started?

[night aspen]

is the antipoison mead a buff like food or is it seperated?

[odd helm]

Meads are separate from food

They have their own cooldown and you can have as many running at a time as you want

[dapper rain]

beer makes people fat though

[odd helm]

This is mead

[dapper rain]

oh

[odd helm]

Honey ferment instead of wheat

[vocal rivet]

Except for fire resistance.

[odd helm]

Which is a wine~

[opal prairie]

Still makes you fat and if you have too much after each other it makes you drunk and depending on what kind of drunk you are that might be a bad thing.

[odd helm]

It's a good thing vikings can't drink enough to get drunk

[thin fulcrum]

I like how Valheim encourages you to eat a balanced diet for your needs - if only I did that IRL.

Imagine if bread made you lethargic for a bit…

[light moat]

What stats would I get from coffee, gummy worms, and an orange?

[thin fulcrum]

New debuff - carb coma

[vocal rivet]

Not as much as Green Hell. Which separates carbs, fats and protein.

[dapper rain]

diabetes?

and maybe some vitamin C

[light moat]

A pro strat, surely

[night aspen]

#screenshots does that count as cheating?

[thin fulcrum]

You’ll need to steal insulin from the Dvergr

[exotic cradle]

milkshake, icecream? i already do that irl

[thin fulcrum]

#treatyoself

[heady parcel]

Of course not, if it works - it works!

[exotic cradle]

I'll get hate for this but I looove how the seeker aspic looks 👀

[opal prairie]

Try that hot cocoa I send you the abbreviated recipe for. ^^

[exotic cradle]

Wasn't that on the purged channel? 😦 I'm blind

[opal prairie]

I slid it into your dm's. If you want a more thorough recipe let me know.

[exotic cradle]

I see it now, was too distracted by all the choco talk

[toxic rose]

Why are there no 2 star mosquitoes in the game? It would be funny to suddenly see one from behind.

[exotic cradle]

Funny in a sadistic way

[heady parcel]

"funny"

[near inlet]

I want to eat yggdrasil porridge irl so bad

[toxic rose]

Find a wizard irl and ask to share.

[rain flare]

Why hate for stating the obvious 😂

[near inlet]

cos it's made of bug goo

[exotic cradle]

I think "aspic" in general is seen as gross

[near inlet]

I'd never heard of it till valheim actually!

[paper roost]

make a spinach soup with cream and than split dandelion flowers on the top 😄

[plush umbra]

For sure

Fish gelatin? Who why what

I haven’t even seen it with meats just the fish one alone I was like nah thanks

[light moat]

Fellas, Valheim has now dropped below 90% on Steam in the ‘recent’ category. 😦

||of course, I don’t think many take Steam reviews seriously, just an observation ||

[exotic cradle]

Nothing whinier than steam commenters honestly, reading the comments there makes me wanna punch things

[merry pebble]

why punch things? are those people not an option? 😄

[exotic cradle]

They'd kick my ass 100%

[mystic falcon]

Good morninggggg

[frigid gust]

Guess that means I should put my review in...

[frigid gust]

There are a couple cranky old guys like me here on the server, just go punch them and hide behind us 😛

[merry pebble]

tho i am not that old and only somewhat cranky i will join too 😄

[mystic falcon]

Dawww

[light moat]

Yeah, I should probably get around to it as well lol

[exotic cradle]

I put mine when I had 500 hours in

[thin fulcrum]

I just said “Amazing” in my review

[merry pebble]

i did "very good" XD

[exotic cradle]

Mine is very long 🥲

basically a love letter

[mystic falcon]

🥹

[unique onyx]

was reading through them and some of the complaints seem fair. others are like game too hard why? lol

[plush umbra]

What were the fair ones?

I’m not on my computer to look but I imagine it’s update when?!?!?

[unique onyx]

this one just says "i hate mosquitos"

people complaining about time between updates seems fair yeah

[light moat]

There was one guy that just said he felt burned out, that’s fair I would say. He probably could’ve elaborated a bit more, but eh

[azure yacht]

"Devs abandoned the game, don't buy it".

Not only is cringy af but also is misinformation

[light moat]

And yeah, I saw the mosquito one lol

[azure yacht]

I actually report those as such

[light moat]

Yeah there are some of those. They’re wild claims lol.

[woven idol]

RIP old valheim discord

[regal spoke]

Same server

[toxic rose]

Rip old channels

[regal spoke]

OK accurate

[light moat]

Like if you want to complain about the pace of development, that’s fine I suppose. But you can’t claim that the game is abandoned lol.

[regal spoke]

When things don't happen fast enough for the entitled devs clearly abandoned

[woven idol]

I watched the hack as it happened. It was nuts lol. And I couldn't leave the discord for the longest time either. It was glitched

[light moat]

8-bit graphics worse than 1984 nintendo games, how do people put up with this crap? ||someone’s Steam review||

^ like this one is just silly lol

[heady parcel]

Exactly this, a depressing majority of negative reviews are nothing but entitled rants if they are even legible in the first place. You simply can't use steam reviews as more than a general tendency - in which case Valheim's is great!

[regal spoke]

I used mobile to leave. I heard others on desktop had the struggle to leave

[woven idol]

I tried both and no luck on either

But after 20 mins or so I could

Changed all passwords lol

[plush umbra]

I was at work and missed practically all of it ayo

[regal spoke]

Look even 2fa can be circumvented.

But the skids doing this likely don't have the skills thank F

[frigid gust]

That's just kinda how reviews go in general, though. Someone with a negative experience is typically a lot more motivated to review than someone with a positive one. That applies to games, restaurants, towing companies, everything.

[toxic rose]

If you run suspicious exe files, ofc

[regal spoke]

There's more than getting phished

[woven idol]

I'd like to leave a one star Google review for government

[hollow wing]

these tar blobs can go straight to hell

[light moat]

Towing companies, very specific Pita 😂

[heady parcel]

Yeah, when there are negative reviews you just have to look at how the review is written and what seems to have pissed them off in the first place. Often times I find the thing they're whinging about is what has attracted me to the game..

[heady parcel]

I hate them with passion

[unique onyx]

"This game is pure torture. Enemies should never be able to chain-stagger you, making you die no matter what. I honestly think I deserve double the money back that I WASTED in order to get this still-in-development-for-years BS game." i'm confused why isn't this one positive

[frigid gust]

Tar blobs are great! You get them to fight the Fulings and then just clean up afterwards. They're also super predictable, pretty easy to avoid until you get like 4 or 5 of them aggroed against you

[toxic rose]

Just be accurate and you never die

[frigid gust]

Translation: "I haven't figured out that food is an actual mechanic in this game and not just to avoid starvation, and am suffering becuase I'm fighting Draugr while just eating cooked deer meat and berries"

[woven idol]

A lot of the bad reviews for Snowrunner are exactly this lol "this game is so slow! My truck keeps getting stuck in the mud! 😡😡" That's the game bud

[hollow wing]

if they dont kill you first which if they hit you you are dead lol

[unique onyx]

haha

"incredibly hard for literally no reason. I used cheat and equipped best armor and weapon, still some biomes i would not survive if i did not activethe "GOD" mode"

[crimson wyvern]

Get better tbh

[unique onyx]

i feel like some of these arent' really reviews and it's more just people upset they got stuck

[crimson wyvern]

Wizard with flame staff is broken

Like actually nothing can touch you

[hollow wing]

so if i am building a base in plains, wont lox destroy it lol?

[crimson wyvern]

Nah lox are passive unless you attack them or get too cloae

[frigid gust]

I think that's again a case of not getting the food mechanics. That's the most common problem I see when people think it's too hard in #valheim-help , then you start asking questions and find out that they haven't even made a cauldron or a cultivator and are dying to wolves instantly

[crimson wyvern]

My plains bases are usually just a trench with some spike walls and a portal

[frigid gust]

Plains are my favorite place to build, I usually try to take over a decent size island, ideally with a stone spire or three on it and build up at the top of it. It's just such a chill biome with great views.

[frigid gust]

Lox are like most enemies, if they can't see it they won't care. Walls keep them from seeing things, or you can dig a moat or raise some earth walls to keep them at bay. The hard part is they like playing Jenga, and will pile up on top of each other to climb over obstacles.

[heady parcel]

I like to take over a fuling tower, clear their stuff out and then make a palisade around a big enough area to farm what I need. I never build enough to trigger invasions, because I don't want to spend any time on defences...

[tardy coral]

Is it okay for waves to submerge my port from time to time?

[unique onyx]

yeah, helps clean out some of the various litter and dust

[tardy coral]

Nice

[heady parcel]

Whenever I've cleared a tar pit I always bury a work bench there so no more of those buggers will spawn

[gray nexus]

There's a tarpit like around 70-80m away from my base wall, I snipe the blobs whenever they spawn coz it's fun

[frigid gust]

I usually just put 2-3 campfires around the perimeter and then I don't have to worry about burying them. Especially on larger pits.

[kind pendant]

Guys, really quick question, do tamed wolves starve to death if left unfed?

[frigid gust]

Nothing in the game can starve to death

[heady parcel]

It's a bit funny that the biome with the most annoying terrain - and mists on top of that - is also the biome that has the most uninterrupted landmass. At least in all worlds I have played, there are some big islands with impressively large bits of mistlands on them.

[kind pendant]

Thank you

[heady parcel]

They just get grumpy and stop breeding

[frigid gust]

Food can also heal them, so it can be useful 😉 Just like it is for you.

[heady parcel]

Looking at my old world, I see Ashlands also has some truly big islands, and the only other biome that mixes in there is mountains. Depending on how dangerous it turns out to be, exploring these islands will be interesting!

[light moat]

@gray nexus how’s your build coming along? I’ve been watching a lot of videos for inspiration, and I think I’m getting my creativity back haha I’ll have to show you my build when I get the chance.

[gray nexus]

honestly, it hasn't really gone anywhere for now

Just that one house I made, but now we're working on the main house

[light moat]

Nice, progress is progress 👍

[gray nexus]

yeah

I had been worrying about the stairs for the wall

tried a few things, didn't like, so decided to go with something simple

[frigid gust]

The Ashlands will change according to the developer talks... it will all be one big island, and likely no mountains there when it is released. It will actually terraform in-place in any existing worlds, just FYI 😉

[heady parcel]

Ah right, well that sounds even more of a challenge if you can't move around by sea... I'm avoiding to get too much info on it, I like to be surprised and die a lot in the beginning

[chilly dust]

No new seed required to get the most from Ashlands?

[frigid gust]

Not as long as you don't explore it, like with the previous updates

[chilly dust]

Perfect thanks

[heady parcel]

In fact, that means I'll just have a thorough look at the placeholder lands and not worry too much about what comes 😄

[frigid gust]

Well, it will still ruin the landmass if you explore it. It will terraform, but new content won't be generated if you've already "baked" it into your world by exploring it.

[heady parcel]

I'll just claim one island, to see how it looks

[frigid gust]

I would personally guess that the furthest east or west areas will be least important. Also beware that anything you build there will almost certainly be destroyed with the terraforming. Any non-Ashlands areas nearby should be safe for building, but the area itself is a no-go for long lasting building. Best thing to get there now are the fish 😉

[formal kraken]

So far I've gotten through Mistlands and Ashlands without any accidents on the dedicated server. Sadly found a 60m x 60m Frozen North near the west edge of the world.

[heady parcel]

Would at most put up a temp portal

[prisma relic]

ive been deliberately avoiding exploring the far edges of the world so that i dont make a new world to render ashlands

[flat ridge]

too bad the updates dont just add another ring to the world so we dont have to make a new seed

[heady parcel]

I'm still playing on the world I started on at launch

[prisma relic]

wtf

[frigid gust]

Do you make backups? I'd consider doing that @heady parcel just in case you want to roll back because the content is unusable

[heady parcel]

Only probed the Far North a tiny bit, otherwise not touched the coming biomes

[heady parcel]

Nah, if the world ends then it ends, I'll start over

I do make backups of the server once in a while though, ppl putting days of work on their castles would have words with me otherwise...

But my personal worlds, naah

But that old original launch world, maybe I should. That seed can't be built in todays game I think

[plush umbra]

Is there any possibly that I can main a hammer in this game?

[prisma relic]

in my previous world i was mindlessly sailing full speed when i got "DEEP NORTH" on my screen and saw the world border ahead, i never hit the brakes and turned around so fast

[plush umbra]

Besides the beginner hammer

[strange minnow]

Has the server fully recovered since the hackers

[heady parcel]

Frostner is a hammer isn't it?

[plush umbra]

Like a great hammer

[prisma relic]

isnt frostner considered mace class

[rain flare]

it is

[heady parcel]

So is the sledge/stagbreaker

[plush umbra]

Like the stagbreaker yes

[rain flare]

it's basically anything that causes blunt damage

[plush umbra]

Sledge? Oh man bet

[frigid gust]

Frostner is a mace, but it does primarily frost damage. So it uses your mace skills, but the boosts apply to all damage that it does.

[rain flare]

except fireball
fireball is an exception ❤️‍🔥

[heady parcel]

They're pretty useless in regular combat I think, but have their use for crowd control or cheezing nests in crypts

[plush umbra]

How do I get sledge?

[unique onyx]

you can clear the game with any weapon, but certain bosses and bigger enemies will take awhile

[frigid gust]

||Demolisher for ticks and in the infested mines is S-tier strat||

[plush umbra]

Is that true with regen?

[heady parcel]

Iron, and a certain very rare trophy, and some stuff from the trader

[plush umbra]

I just wanna demolish enemies with a big hammer

[formal kraken]

make sure you always have the stamina to back up those words.

[unique onyx]

yeah if you have enough time you could do it. it's harder you have to hit it a lot more frequently but it's possible in normal difficulty

[plush umbra]

Ymir flesh?

[paper marsh]

There’s the stag breaker and then there’s a swamp and mistlands version of that type of weapon (sledge for swamp, requires buying flesh from haldor)

[plush umbra]

Oh bet I need to kill elder then recently started a new character

[paper marsh]

What rare trophy does it require? Elite draugr or something?

[heady parcel]

Yes

[paper marsh]

Not too bad a trophy to get your hands on

[unique onyx]

i'm having trouble progressing with certain things in hard mode. like i have a 2handed mace playthrough that's stuck in plains

[paper roost]

speed is your biggest friend there

[frigid gust]

Lox resist blunt... the game isn't really balanced around that kind of challenge mode 😉 I wish you luck, but it's not like it should be unexpected.

[paper roost]

2h weapons are too slow on animation for enemies there

[unique onyx]

yeah i already beat it on hard with weapons i like more but i wanted to try making characters that like certain weapons or whatever lol

[paper roost]

ah, i see. than if 2h weapon, than cr. battleaxe

[plush umbra]

HAMMER!!!

[unique onyx]

this one can only use 2 handed maces and bows so it's been kinda rough, krom was really good though yeah

[paper marsh]

Ah I’m doing the opposite run of hobbit. Playing a character who loves knives and axes and light armor, dodging around slicing up their opponent

I’ve put a permadeath rule for myself tho which makes it very scary

[hybrid mica]

Hello, why doesn't the xbox gamepass pc version have achievements

[paper marsh]

No versions have achievements yet

[plush umbra]

Because the achievement is the game

[merry pebble]

because game is still in early access

[paper marsh]

Game still developing so achievements aren’t in yet

[paper roost]

well, than i can just wish you good luck there 😄

[unique onyx]

i don't think he's gonna make it i have like 10 deaths breaking into the plains lol

unless i find a rock and bow maybe

[paper roost]

i m also masochist, testing parry on each mob on very hard difficulty, so you not alone 😄

[frigid gust]

Well, there's no rule that achievements can't be in Early Access games, but the Valheim devs have decided they don't want to put them in until 1.0

[uncut spruce]

Man swamps are so hard, i cant get comfort bonus cuz mobs keep spawning around me and destroy everything

Also when is good time to go to mountain areas? Is it harder than swamps?

[merry pebble]

make portal home and get it there

[merry pebble]

after you defeat 3rd boss, or at least have fully upgraded swamp tier gear

[tardy coral]

Ok so, I'm building a small port on the shore and noticed the wood was turning greenish and getting damaged, was it because of a storm?

[uncut spruce]

Ill try, ty

[uncut spruce]

No, wood gets damaged without roof above it

[uncut spruce]

Tyvm

[merry pebble]

it gets damaged by water (rain, storm, ocean) but it will stop at 50% of health, it will look green tho 😄

[paper marsh]

If you’re new mountains is useless until you beat swamp boss

I’d recommend carrying a pocket portal so you can get comfort at base

[uncut spruce]

I appreciate it

I got my ass whooped without the comfort bonus, tier two draugirs killed me twice already

I thought parrying is the way but that eats my stamina fast

[paper marsh]

Parrying is the way I’d say. That or bow

Just gotta make sure you have some decent food in your belly (at least 1 stamina food) and you’re not wasting all your stamina running around so you’re empty when you enter combat. And always have rested buff up, you’re dead without it

Also if you don’t already have it, get poison resist potions

[spare quest]

300 days and i still dont know how to parry

my shield can only block not parry

[patent wren]

Would you like to maintain your streak or have it explained lmao

[spare quest]

like, when you use a shield, it blocks it

ive never had a "parry" it was always a "block"

[shrewd vault]

you need to time it correctly to parry

can't just hold it up

[spare quest]

i just get hit when i try to time it

[patent wren]

Worth noting that if you're using a tower shield you can't parry

[spare quest]

nope

one handed, still dont know how to parry, i either get hit or block

[patent wren]

Figuring out the timing is tricky 🤷 I bet there's a YouTube tutorial on various enemies and the parry timing tho.

[spare quest]

how do i even know if i made it correctly

how is it any different than blocking

[patent wren]

It'll play a sound effect and it will (usually) stagger the enemy

[shadow epoch]

allegedly they stagger and stuff which gives you an extra opportunity to hit them

[spare quest]

allegedly lmao

[merry pebble]

it will make an visual effect and sound effect, enemies will also most likely lean back and wave hands

[patent wren]

There's some number crunch that determines if it's actually staggered based on the damage they do and your shield's stats, but if the enemy and shield are from the same Age then you should be able to parry them

[copper lynx]

After learning how to parry, I find it really hard to use the tower shield.
So much dopamine

[paper marsh]

It makes a super satisfying sound, opponent gets stunned flailing their arms around, and when you follow up by hitting them your hits do 3x damage and make satisfying sounds as well

Timing takes a bit to figure out but once you get it it feels a lot more natural

[patent wren]

^ staggering an enemy is most useful for the 3x damage buff, though if you're in a scramble the brief stun can give you time to get away from an enemy as well

[copper lynx]

Works on ranged enemy attacks too

[paper marsh]

You usually have to start blocking while they’re halfway through their swing, right before it hits you. If you start blocking before they start swinging or at the start of their swing it’s usually too early

[spare quest]

i think you cant parry someone if your shield is too weak?

[patent wren]

which is extremely good and funny

[paper marsh]

Parrying also typically gives you 2x-3x block armor, making the hit do very little damage

[merry pebble]

not 3 times, that depends on shield, iron buckler has 2,5 parry bonus and banded shield has 1,5 parry bonus for example

[paper marsh]

I thought wood or bronze was 3x

[paper marsh]

Yea depends on your actual armor, your max hp, and especially the strength (block armor) of your shield

[patent wren]

bronze buckler is 2.5x according to our friend the wiki

[merry pebble]

bucklers have 2,5 and round shields have 1,5 , always

[copper lynx]

It is a bit amusing, but I'm glad they kept it xD

[paper marsh]

Good to know. I hate parry bonus on round shields

[light moat]

I think they actually removed it at one point, then added it back in because it was cool lol

[paper marsh]

I wish knives had enough block armor for parrying with them to be viable for me

[plush umbra]

On normal they’re fine

I know you’re not on normal tho

[merry pebble]

i have a good news for you once you get to mistlands 😄

[paper marsh]

I doubt it

Bc I have a feeling the news is skoll and hati but I don’t think their block is good enough either

[plush umbra]

On very hard there’s just a lot of things that aren’t worth parrying

Well practical

[merry pebble]

while normal knives have the parry block armor of 8-12 the skoll and hati have 94-144 😉 @paper marsh

[ember kraken]

Is there anything worth parrying on very hard at all? With the damage scaling, I can't imagine you'd be able to parry even same biome normal enemies ?

[fresh jasper]

Yeah and you can't block most enemies either

[paper marsh]

It’s pretty rough unless you train your block skill super high early on

Definitely need to max out the level on your shield in each biome

[paper marsh]

Hmm that is higher than I remembered. Still 6x modifier or less?

[merry pebble]

4x parry bonus

[plush umbra]

It’s worth it parry the normal mobs in my experience so far but only if you’re really good since one mistake is a good chunk of health

Even lil guys like greydwarfs will hit you for a huge chunk if you mess up

[paper marsh]

Aw I read it wrong I got excited for a sec. I thought you said they had a 100 block armor which sounded bonkers to me. But that’s after the 4x modifier

Yea I think I might use skoll and hati but feel like I still need to carry a shield for stronger enemies

[merry pebble]

oh sure, i wouldn´t try to take seeker soldier with that for example 😄

[plush umbra]

I’m just robin hooding it like a pansy

[paper marsh]

Honestly with root chest blocking regular/starred seekers might not be so bad. It is on hard mode but I feel like pierce resist can bridge that gap.
Soldiers a lot of blunt damage tho right?

[merry pebble]

yeah, 100 blunt, but depends on attack, also can do 100 slash or 120 blunt

[paper marsh]

Wait rly

The soldiers do less damage than the seekers

I think seekers attacks are all 100-120 pierce except for the flying one which is prob 100-120 blunt

[merry pebble]

seekers do 90 pierce, 120 pierce and 100 blunt, again depends on attack

[paper marsh]

Ah

[merry pebble]

soldiers have 1500 health and seekers have 200 tho 😄

[paper marsh]

Hmm so soldiers are mostly just beefy hp boys. I knew they weren’t too high damage but I thought it was more. Still tho not having resist to it makes it a lot worse

[merry pebble]

yeah, soldiers have a bit more dmg but MUCH more hp 😄

2 star soldier 4500 hp and 2 star seeker "only" 600

[frigid gust]

Poke 'em in the butt!

[paper marsh]

I wonder whether I should run eikthyr or bonemass in mistlands. I guess bonemass for mines eikthyr for above ground

I am the type to run double hp so traversal without eikthyr might get annoying

[frigid gust]

That's actually the best use for Frostner/Mistwalker in the Mistlands. Slow the Soldiers so you can hop behind them and tear them down from their weak point. They're just damage sponges otherwise.

[paper marsh]

or an ice arrow

still I'm partial to parrying them with a crossbow and shooting their butt

I need to use crossbow more. Those sneak attacks could be deadly with high skill level

[frigid gust]

Sure. But then you have to swap weapons if you use a bow, and the freeze time is based on the amount of damage you do IIRC, so...

[regal spoke]

I only run eik power. Stam is everything. Proper gear and good food does the rest imho

[paper marsh]

based on damage? huh, good to know

bonemass feels a bit like a cheatcode in some biomes imo. Especially when people are buddying up and keeping the buff active 24/7

[frozen void]

I rarely remember to use my power

[regal spoke]

Bonemass power is tempting but eh

[frigid gust]

I prefer to use bonemass for when I get in trouble. Tasty meads are like a 10s eikthyr

[lusty crescent]

I did that
Until I learned about bonemass
I did my first 2 worlds without bonemass and damn plains and mistlands really sucked

[paper marsh]

I need to start using tasty meads

Are tasty meads still pretty effective if you only run 1 stam food? or do you really need that double stam to get good use out of it

[regal spoke]

Not healing though. Shudders

[frigid gust]

They double your stamina recovery rate at the cost of 50% of your healing rate. But it just healing rate, and only for 10s. So if 10s of having near instant stamina recovery is enough, they're worth it.

[paper marsh]

is that a yes?

I'd assume the answer is yes

[frigid gust]

I think so, but YMMV.

[regal spoke]

What armor do you run in mist

[frigid gust]

If you can manage with an HHS build in general, tasty mead just makes it that much better to get out of spots where your stamina is what's limiting you

[paper marsh]

Also just to clarify something, when you take a health/stam potion and it shows you the timer for cooldown on using "medium health potion", that applies to all health potions right? You don't get a different timer for small, medium, large?

[frigid gust]

I'm not sure... I haven't tested it. I thought it was per potion, not per class, but I could be wrong.

[paper marsh]

I would assume healthwide timer and stamina wide timer, but the wording on it suggests otherwise i'd say. Never tried it out

[frigid gust]

Fenris in general, switching to carapace if I need to go through a mine. But you've gotta be confident in your combat like that 😉 A root chest can help against ticks and seekers if you're still worried, but in that case you definitely want to bring with fire resist potions for the gjall.

[merry pebble]

resistance meads have 10 minute cooldown, healing,stamina and eitr all have 2 minutes cooldown exept the lingering stamina, that one has 5 minutes cooldown

[paper marsh]

root chest is must for me in mistlands, but I like the fenrir set otherwise. In hardmode prob gonna go for carapace helm tho

[regal spoke]

I do run the go to hybrid build. Feels good. But your not wrong about combat confidence/intelligence.

Also, thanks for the correction on tasty mead and healing

[oblique crest]

heya im decently new to valheim and i was wondiring if i could get someone to olay with?

[paper marsh]

you could try and see in #1024264966712340510

[oblique crest]

ok thank you

[regal spoke]

The filters are your friend

[oblique crest]

idk how to work he lfg:?

[paper marsh]

you can make a post asking for people to join you, or you can click onto other peoples posts and ask in there if you can join

People want different things in servers, so they often state in their post what they're looking for. Like Hardcore very hard difficulty serious run, normal default run just having fun, etc.

[oblique crest]

ah ok ok

[regal spoke]

The filters narrow down on what we want

[oblique crest]

i keep dying to those tiny tree goblins:(

[merry pebble]

greydwarfs?

[paper marsh]

if you can hunt down some deer you can make armor. A shield is good too

Possibly a bow if you don't want to get too close

[oblique crest]

there smal they throw thangs at me:(

[paper marsh]

if there's a big group of 6+ of them you might wanna run until you get even better gear or get used to the combat

[oblique crest]

i beat the first boss and now every time i go to the second place im supposed to go there every where

[paper marsh]

yea they're like that. You gotta learn how to fight them

[oblique crest]

how...

[paper marsh]

Make sure you have 3 foods in your belly at all times too. I'd recommend two foods with the red fork icon (typically meat) as they give you a lot of health

[oblique crest]

im not used to this type of game im more or less a overwatch/val player but those games started to bore me

[paper marsh]

Maybe use a bow. You can also use a shield and melee weapon, blocking when they hit you and hitting in between blocks

[oblique crest]

ohhhhk

[paper marsh]

You can also lower the difficulty in the main menu (World modifiers)

[oblique crest]

nobody is responding to my thang:(

[paper marsh]

This is exxtremely important though. ALWAYS eat 3 foods, something a lot of newcomers ignore

[light moat]

So in these games, planning and prep is everything. Get good gear (food, weapons, armor) and push forward.

[paper marsh]

Takes a while. Maybe not so many wanting to play with a newbie either idk

Playing solo on your first playthrough is pretty fun imo tho, figuring things out yourself instead of having someone rush you through it

[oblique crest]

wait when i go to the second island will i have to make a whole new house?

[frigid gust]

Food, weapons, armor... IN THAT ORDER. Food is critical. Cauldron, cultivator... make the tools to make better food as your priority with every advancement.

[paper marsh]

You unlock portals early on, so you can travel instantly between anywhere you set one up

[oblique crest]

PORTALS???

[fresh jasper]

Portals.

[paper marsh]

You need to get bronze first though, which is something you can get in the black forest (tree goblin territory)

[paper marsh]

portals

[frigid gust]

Eventually. Gotta earn 'em 😉 And they take some rare and valuable resources to start, but they get more accessible as you progress.

[fresh jasper]

Or find a shipwreck and break it.

[merry pebble]

you really don´t...

[fresh jasper]

OR roll trees to oaks or birches and break them that way

[paper marsh]

if you're a newbie you kinda do. Dying to greydwarves is not "finesse a troll into chopping trees for you" energy. And that's okay, experience comes with time

Oh yea I guess you can also roll them around although that's very slow. I'm just trying to recommend intended gameplay loop for newbies

[regal spoke]

The taller stone structures in the black forest will often have barrels and stools for finewood too

[merry pebble]

well i get that but nothing in the game makes you to get bronze before you go for burial chambers 😄 but you are right that newbie may want to get better gear before going there

[paper marsh]

well not so much getting bronze to do burial chambers, but getting bronze to get finewood

You can't get bronze before burial chambers unless you brave the swamp or I think maybe the mistlands

[merry pebble]

oh yeah thats true

[frigid gust]

Kill some skellies, upgrade your club and leather armor and you can handle a burial chamber.

[paper marsh]

For new players it's tough to do, but I gotta say troll armor is so easy to get and so strong

Perfect armor to skip a bunch of strenous copper and iron mining

[frigid gust]

I worry about troll armor only after I get an atgeir. They take too long to kite with spears or arrows.

[bright rock]

I still skip iron armor having troll armor on hand

I kill troll as soon as I get a fully upgraded wooden shield or bronze shield lol

[frigid gust]

I like root armor, I'll upgrade to that ASAP. But you can parry an abomination with a bronze buckler and take it down with an axe.

[light moat]

This is my first time using root armor, and it is indeed pretty cool.

[bright rock]

Root armor is versatile if you’re not going into mountain caves or fighting torch fulings

[light moat]

I’m still planning on crafting/maxing the iron set though. It just looks too good.

[spare quest]

looks kinda goofy imo

[merry pebble]

imo if you are not going for the archery bonus then you are good crafting only the harnesk

[rugged pulsar]

gjalls, is valheim server back?

[light moat]

I’m striving to craft all armors, and hopefully utilize them to some extent, just to see what they’re capable of.

[plush umbra]

No

[vocal rivet]

It never went anywhere.

[merry pebble]

no, nobody is here 😄 (just joking, yes it is 😄 )

[rugged pulsar]

thanks god

those "new" valheim servers were bit quirky

[vocal rivet]

You actually clicked the link?

[rugged pulsar]

clicked the thing, but didnt download it

[light moat]

Welcome back 🤝

[rugged pulsar]

game that weights 30mb is tetris

[hybrid mica]

is it possible to parry the 1 star berserker?

[latent wraith]

Yes.

You just need enough max hp and stamina and a good enough shield.

[hybrid mica]

black metal shield and 150 hp not enough

[latent wraith]

150hp is hardly a lot.

I don't recall what you'd need to do it.

[hybrid mica]

even the tower shield is not working

[latent wraith]

You can't parry with a tower shield.

[frigid gust]

Tower shields can't parry. And I don't think you can parry his tantrum attack if that's what you're trying, too.

[regal spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/gi-joe-knowing-is-half-the-battle-the-more-you-know-learning-gif-10071841

[paper marsh]

is it upgraded?

[hybrid mica]

level 3

[hollow wing]

ive seen the light and have started using sausages

[paper marsh]

hmm sounds like a pretty good spot to be in for parrying his regular swing attack, but could up hp a little

[plush umbra]

I swear

You make me want to cry

[paper marsh]

So good food. Amazing for swamp, amazing as a dispensable food for all other biomes

[hybrid mica]

what do you guys recommend for food

[plush umbra]

Pretty sure he’s past the swamp

[hollow wing]

ive just started using them in plains

[wise latch]

Did they get rid of glowing letters

[plush umbra]

Depends heavily on what biome you’re in

[hybrid mica]

and should focus on hp or stamina

[plush umbra]

I cri many many time when I think about you

[paper marsh]

up to preference but either 2 hp 1 stam, or 2 stam 1 hp

[plush umbra]

Depends how comfortable you are I normally do 2 stamina 1 hp but for bosses I swap

On very hard I’ll do 3hp sometimes

[merry pebble]

i use 2 hp and one stamina but other people might use 2 stam and 1 hp food, really depends on your playstyle

[paper marsh]

3hp in like a swamp crypt with a campfire at the entrance is cool for very hard

[hollow wing]

plains has been very fun. mountains was... awful

[paper marsh]

I like Mountains and Plains, but Mistlands is my fave

[regal spoke]

Check this list out #valheim-chat message

Very useful. Especially the spreadsheet

[paper marsh]

up until mountains it's a bit slow

[plush umbra]

I’m not fond of the skeeters

[gritty kayak]

what can you make right now?

[hollow wing]

i am hoping ashlands will be similar to plains but it seems like it'll be mainly a place you pass and never visit again. but maybe not, i read that devs are looking to do non linear progression. something like that anyway

[paper marsh]

I'll prob setup a base in ashlands

[bright rock]

I think it’d be a cool change if we can do Ashland as soon as we finish with mountain

[plush umbra]

To be fair you can go meadows to mountains

Then straight to Ashlands would be funny

[hollow wing]

i guess so but i think new biomes probably are gonna end up different. they seem to be talking about the new biome cycle getting boring, well they did in that dev video about ashlands.

[rugged pulsar]

game's aleardy too long for me

[odd marsh]

cool didnt know ||gnomes had water outposts||

[rugged pulsar]

after beating yagluth im done and i dont go to mistlands

[odd marsh]

its a pretty cool place

[fresh jasper]

It has lots of bugs

[rugged pulsar]

ive been here several times just to check whats in there

and its my most disliked biome, too boring for me

best part of the game is meadows-swamp for me

[frozen void]

Cant believe the devs didn't fix that

[gritty kayak]

budumtish

[bright rock]

The early game takes most time and it does feel best around that

[fresh jasper]

My favorite biome is mistlands because there's lots of things to do

[rugged pulsar]

i got through mountains with maxed gear in 10 in game days, offtopic but

[fresh jasper]

• flying balloon war horn thingy funi

[rugged pulsar]

whasupgjall

[hollow wing]

why do i feel bad killing lox?

[light moat]

I’d say the Black Forest is my favorite. The enemies are neat (imo) and I really like the step into bronze.

[fresh jasper]

Because they are not aggressive, just afraid and defending themselves.

[bright rock]

But you don’t feel bad killing wolf? That’s a problem

[rugged pulsar]

black forest's goat

[gritty kayak]

because all you see when you hover over their name tag is "frightened" and they are huggable

wolves can be jerks... especially in groups.

[latent wraith]

Wolves can also be jerky.

[rugged pulsar]

my favourite biome is swamp, in the first playthrough even with bronze gear maxed you feel like youre too weak

[frozen void]

I like to skewer them

[gritty kayak]

🤦

[rugged pulsar]

also the dark scenery gets me

[hollow wing]

to me it's all about what the biome offers. mountain offers nothing

[boreal meadow]

I went in with level 3 bronze mace I felt decent, but abomination scary

[latent wraith]

Mountains is the best biome. So pretty!

[fresh jasper]

Mountain is just a chill part of the game

[light moat]

Swamps are super cool, yeah. I especially like how the draugr make it almost feel like a horror movie. I’m hoping the Ashlands will give a similar feeling.

[rugged pulsar]

Le Abominatione 🇫🇷 🥐

[frozen void]

Its the coolest||so far||

[rugged pulsar]

biome's are goats for lategame bases

especially those close to mistlands, plains etc.

[hollow wing]

i dont even want to imagine what a raid from fulings etc looks like. i read they send berserkers etc

[fresh jasper]

Yup, shamans too

[light moat]

Does anyone play with raids turned off? 👀

[fresh jasper]

But only one at a time

[latent wraith]

Nothing a few lox can't handle with ease (and a few causalties).

[rugged pulsar]

once they raided my base, they acted like brits destroying everything they see

[latent wraith]

4 lox > 1 funling raid.

[rugged pulsar]

i made a little slaughterhouse for loxes

[paper marsh]

Did you just say that biomes are good places to build bases?

Where would you build a base if not in a biome!?!?

[rugged pulsar]

got 4 stacks of meat, pure profit

[paper marsh]

or ah it was specifically referring to Mountains

[hollow wing]

i am thinking of taming several lox so they can be around the base.

[fresh jasper]

I've never breeded loxes to get pelts and meat, I've just hunted them from the wild

[rugged pulsar]

my mistake, i mean mountains

[fresh jasper]

You would build in the main menu ofc!

[rugged pulsar]

yea, its still black forest 😭

[frozen void]

Clearly youve not seen the builds going over the edge of the world

[plush umbra]

If you keep them instead regular walls theyre really good at busting out

[latent wraith]

Biomes are just forms of environment so I'd build in the middle of the ocean, outside the environment.

[hollow wing]

thats the confusing part for me. i thought you'd be able to make a lox sit etc

[frozen void]

Free range lox is the best

[rugged pulsar]

[biome_ashlands] is the best biome for base building

[fresh jasper]

I prefer Deep North

[plush umbra]

did the translation string break again?

[paper marsh]

I have not

[rugged pulsar]

the thing is that its somewhere outside the map making it imposible to build anything

[paper marsh]

Does the edge of the world not have a biome?

[fresh jasper]

I remember seeing three leviathans on the world's edge almost half over it

[paper marsh]

Ashlands is inside the map

[rugged pulsar]

"edge of the world" it is called, it has those mythical creatures called "edgers of the worlds"

[plush umbra]

the edge of the world is ocean, and if you go far beyond it, you reach "ashlands", no matter from where you depart

[frozen void]

The wasteland below the waterfalls is ashlands yeah
