valheim-chat

[vale geode]

The seventh biome is the ashen lands, right?

[hot fern]

you just can't upgrade root without level 5 workbench

[vale geode]

what are the other two?

[bright rock]

And I personally consider iron armor set to be a trap

[hot fern]

again, helmet is always worth it

[distant citrus]

Iron is a trap? How so? I was thinking of getting Iron but skipping Bronze

[hot fern]

especially past bronze age.

[vocal rivet]

Deep North, and Ocean although that's only going to be an update rather than a full new biome.

[distant citrus]

But if Bronze is worth it and Iron ain't, should I go Bronze > Mountain?

[vocal rivet]

Weird take.

[hot fern]

who said that?

[bright rock]

Sometime you don’t get that much iron to work around

Iron stuff are really expensive

[hot fern]

to be honest man, it's all with your playstyle. to be real, if you're getting hit a lot in the game, full iron fully upgraded is the best route you can go. it's more experienced players that are more comfy with less, because they know the game.

full upgraded armor in any biome, i mean.

other than the root harnesk being stronger against some mobs because of the pierce resistance.

[vale geode]

Do you think there will be other worlds, will we be able to climb along the branch of the world tree to other worlds?

[hot fern]

plus, if you're a new player, getting armor means you will spend more time in that biome, effectively increasing your playtime. so if you aren't a rush, there's no need to skip.

[bright rock]

This is valheim, it’s not Yggdrasil

Ask the dev to make Yggdrasil and we might be able to climb the tree lmao

[faint nebula]

in the game lore, Odin needed somebody to give the creatures of Valheim a beatdown. Theres an expectation that the end-game might include valhalla but other worlds are unlikely.

[distant citrus]

Yeah I read that the Root armor is great for Plains because of the Death Squito's, as well as the +15 on Bows

[hot fern]

it's great for plains, spear fulings, seekers

it's even good for the swamp imo

kinda wish they would nerf it 🙂

[distant citrus]

Hahahaha, because it feels too good to pass on in terms of how it competes with other armors?

[bright rock]

Well the down side is that it has limited armor rating o3o

[distant citrus]

Mountain armor looks the best from what I've seen so far

[hot fern]

in my opinion, the root harnesk is extremely imbalanced

the armor number doesn't even matter that much, you literally remove like 50% of pierce damage, for a piece of gear you get in the third biome

which is so much more than armor is, the only reason not to use it is if you actually struggle melee or you don't have fire res pots

i find most of the danger i encounter in the game is due to ranged stuff sneak attacking me, the root harnesk pretty much removes that danger

bow draugers, 2* spear fulings, etc

2* skeletons, stuff like that

[bright rock]

It does make the ticks abit less dangerous in the mines gotta give it that, the starred ticks are the menace

[vocal rivet]

In the lore, Valheim is explicitly not connected to the other worlds, which is part of the reason we're even there.

[bright rock]

Well Odin cut it so his angry neighbor couldn’t bother him

[hot fern]

ah, that's right, i forgot: dverger rogues also

let me shut up though, ggs!

[distant citrus]

Is it easy to farm the resources for Root Armor?

[hot fern]

depends on your progression and skill, but it's not too bad. Each Abomination in the swamp drops 5 root, and you need 10 root to craft a single piece. then upgrades are 2 -> 4 -> 6 root

[frozen void]

you cant make highest one until you visit mountains anyway

[distant citrus]

Ahh I see, thanks for the insightful answers!

I've got one more unrelated question, how exactly does aggro work? Will I be attacked/my home, if I'm inside? Does it have to do with line of sight or will they just know I'm inside and attack the walls/stuff?

[faint nebula]

most mobs are sound-triggered. especially using a pick or axe

[frozen void]

if they hear you theyll break stuff to get to you, unless certain there's other things like workbenches, torches, etc then they might destroy those first

[distant citrus]

I see, so activating a workbench might trigger them too?

[bright rock]

I’m pretty sure there’s a graph for that

[hot fern]

One thing I love most about playing on a pretty active multiplayer server: When I come back on, all the raspberries and crops are ready 🙂

[frozen void]

its pinned in #building-tips if you want to know

[bright rock]

They take abit then suddenly pops together

[hot fern]

🙂

[uncut bough]

i used to dread skeletons so much because it hits like a truck, but with a decent leather armor and a...club, and shield, i can now take on Skellies

[bright rock]

It’s quite satisfying to see tbh

[uncut bough]

troll caves are still mad annoying to fight though, not much room to maneuver which leads to troll scoring easy hits

[bright rock]

Early game is always fun like that

[hot fern]

There are several things you can learn that will make those fights even easier, through time and playing 🙂

[bright rock]

I think you can parry troll with wooden shield if you eat enough food and have enough protection from armor

[uncut bough]

i had a friend who played with me, so i can still tell him to tank the Troll with the shield while i stay behind and shoot it with arrow

the boney shield saved him big time tho, i saw the troll swung at his direction like 7-9 times, while i slowly chip away its health before going in for the kill with the bronze ax

[hot fern]

nice

teamwork OP

[bright rock]

Had a friend swinging hammer and great axe behind me while I tower shield the entrance of a mine to not let whatever inside goes out, it was pretty effective albeit abit slow

[uncut bough]

it is really painful to grind bronze. First i got a smelter and a kilt, then the production of metal is tooo slow

[vocal rivet]

Sort of, yeah.

[uncut bough]

then i go create 1 more for both, then i dont have enough coal most of the time. Got me the coal, but then lack the ore. Mined ore, wait for another century before the next batch of metal is finished

it is hilarous how Copper is objectively harder to mine than Tin, but then it takes 2 goshdarn Copper and 1 Tin to make bronze

[hot fern]

People get multiple kilns and smelters to help with that a lot of the time, but that requires you venture into more Burial Chamber for now.

with 2/2, I feel the production isn't too bad at all, can do other things meanwhile like farm, make food, etc

[uncut bough]

just created the trolley to work with the transportation of ore, and i already hated it soo much

[cosmic oak]

How much time did everyone else spend trying to position the kiln so that the coal would fall in to the smelter 😂

[bright rock]

Burial chambers near center of the world aren’t that dangerous, I guess the main threat are the ghosts but you can dispatch those with bows if you do it correctly

[hot fern]

also, a nice trick is to consistently make coal even when you don't need it right now, that way when you do need it, you can just fuel pure smelters with all the coal you made

[uncut bough]

the area with copper are usually hilly and behind a lot of trees, so the cart with just scrape here and there and break apart

i crafted 2 carts for me and my pal to go mine Ores, mine broke when i almost there because there are so many goddamn tiny birch tree that still has hitboxes and still damage my cart

[hot fern]

bring an axe with you next time and actively carve out a clean path for you to walk, it helps a lot in the forest

[bright rock]

You can place down a crafting table and fix it in 3 seconds before continuing tho

[uncut bough]

and after we mined the entire mountain of Copper, it was dusk, so we tried going home, but then he unknowingly equipped shield and spear while roleplaying transporting mule

[hot fern]

your pal can also help clear, makes carting a breeze

[bright rock]

Axe and pickaxe are the two most important things I always bring

[uncut bough]

so he was moving at a snail pace and get defeated by slightly elevated cliff, and soon enough it was nighttime and suddenly a lot of the annoying mobs and Shaman started swarming us

[hot fern]

although half the time i just run through the forest and teleport back, i hate the forest hills for carts

[bright rock]

My bronze axe had so much abomination kills

[cosmic oak]

Make a path, even if you never use it again it's all building your skills

[uncut bough]

i even had to push the cart with him by running into the cart so he can climb the cliff

[hot fern]

what am i doing with my life, where i'm actually just searching for rocks in the black forest to mine stone

[uncut bough]

but then he gave up, so i took over the mule work instead, and since i was using only a bronze knife, and using the skill, i easily sprinted home with the entire haul

it was a good 55 copper ore

[bright rock]

1 deposit should have more than that

[uncut bough]

nope, 55

[bright rock]

You don’t dig down?

[uncut bough]

or maybe the other part of the ore might be behind more rocks in which case, idk

[bright rock]

All the way until you can’t go further

[uncut bough]

no i dont dig dowwn

[pliant hatch]

Usually a copper node has close to 100 ore in it.

[bright rock]

That

[cosmic oak]

Who else threw 15 hard won and smelted iron on to the deck of their ship which was in deep water

[uncut bough]

not me, i crafted cart and it broke down too fast

[bright rock]

Bet those were quite heavy

[hot fern]

done it before, never again

[pliant hatch]

Iron? No.
Yagluth trophy? Yes.
Meaning I had to fight the bugger again.

[frozen void]

boss trophies float, dont they?

[bright rock]

Realization

[pliant hatch]

Yeah. but they're gone anyway when you get back to your base and realize it's not in the cargo hold or your inventory.

[frozen void]

aaaah

[uncut bough]

easy fix, sail the water again and locate the tropie

they dont despawn, do they

[frozen void]

after 2 ingame days they do

[uncut bough]

aight

[hot fern]

look at the good side: at least you'll get more weapon skill points killing yag again

plus the battle music

[pliant hatch]

I dunno.
Had a portal nearby, so collected my set of arrows and battle food, took the portal and went straight to the altar, using the trophies I had put up at the main base as trophies.
Except this time my previous trick of using the platforms in the Fulling village didn't work and I nearly bought it.

[uncut bough]

i did not know that the 2nd boss is so far away, how am i ever reaching it

the elders, i think it is how it is called

[pliant hatch]

Eventually I was more grumpy about loosing the saccing trophies as to do that fight again.
Meant I had to search another island to get them back at my main base.

[bright rock]

“So far away” wait till you see the other bosses

It’s actually pretty rare to not have elder altar on your starting island tho

[uncut bough]

what is elder altar?

[pliant hatch]

The spot to kill the 2nd boss

If you have a large patch of Black Forest at your starting island, you can be quite certain The Elder will be there as well.

[uncut bough]

idk the black forest isn't where i was spawned, and i had to raid a lot of dungeons to find the loc for elder

[cosmic oak]

I'm surprised there's not more people taking Loxes with them to battle bosses

[uncut bough]

i had to find the something that marks the location of elder in the burial something

[pliant hatch]

Those dungeons are located in the Black Forest.
Where you spawn is the Meadows.

[hot fern]

loc for elder == elder altar, same thing

[uncut bough]

but the elder isn't in the forest, the marker showed it being somewhere super far away

[bright rock]

I actually forgot tamed pet attacks boss tbh lmao

[hot fern]

it's in a forest somewhere

[uncut bough]

like actually in a place in the map that isn't even discovered yet

[hot fern]

it's always in black forest, but there are many black forests in the world

you need to explore there to use that altar 🙂

the Haldor trader is also in the black forest, so you'll need to locate him eventually if you haven't by exploring more black forests

[pliant hatch]

If you have doubts, check your map seed here: https://valheim-map.world/

[bright rock]

I’d rather not spoil myself knowing the world map first hand

[uncut bough]

damn so i will be going there fr, it is so far away though

i dont have teleportation device

[hot fern]

Do you have a boat yet?

[uncut bough]

i have a cart

[hot fern]

You're going into one of the first major hurdles i feel of valheim, going across water

[bright rock]

Ocean!

[hot fern]

there are boats and rafts that you can build to do this (i don't recommend raft)

Check your hammer's Misc category, there's a "Karve" in there that can be built

[bright rock]

He’d need to have crafted bronze nail first I think

[uncut bough]

how am i gonna craft bronze nail

i did say it once and i will say it again, why is the cart sooo flimsy, like at least it shouldn't literally turn into rags after bumping into a few tiny twigs

[bright rock]

You’re overestimating Stone Age technology lmao

I saw how carts performed 3 years ago and didn’t like it so I never made one ever

[hot fern]

they are extremely useful in some cases, though. in the swamp they are super underrated, one of the best transports out there

(you can swim carts across water)

[bright rock]

Ngl I’ve got more things tailing me in swamp I really don’t want more things to worry about

[hot fern]

🙂

[bright rock]

The only transport I use is big boat

[hot fern]

yeah, but to get from the crypts to the big boat?

[bright rock]

I make multiple trips

[frozen void]

you can usually run it pretty easy too

[hot fern]

i suppose just running it and portaling works, that's what i've done a lot

[bright rock]

It helps with running level

Which you will ultimately need in mistland so that’s not missed out investment

[cosmic oak]

Valheim is pretty much grinding your way to an easier way and then finding a new grind 😉

[hot fern]

true!

[hot fern]

the hard/veryhard modifiers have made such a world of difference for me as well, a whole new challenge

[cosmic oak]

Tbh though leveling up my dead friends was the only one that really felt like a grind ( lvl 87 )

[uncut bough]

following some of the members' advice here, i started exploiting trolls to mine copper easier

not actually exploit, maybe just making the troll swing the log aggressively downward so the copper breaks

[frozen void]

died?

[uncut bough]

live, i got 110 health + leather lvl 3 suits

and also i dont get my way into harm's way, i dodge out of range when it does a slash, and move left or right when it does a downward swing

and also i wasn't that dumb, when i kite the troll i shot with it arrows so that if i am in a pinch, i can just shoot it one more time and it dies

[late coral]

Man, Hardcore mode enemy damage is no joke. No-star Skeletons still 1-shot you without upgraded Leather Armor.

[bright rock]

You’d be more worried about grey dwarves

[plush umbra]

Nah the skeletons do a lot more damage than greydwarves

[uncut bough]

fighting skelly in low-level gear is much much scarier than dwarves

[plush umbra]

In lvl 1 leather gear I think the greydwarves on very hard do like 18 damage but the skeletons do 50

[uncut bough]

the skelly is the bane of existence for new players, its attack hurts like hell, and it is tankier than just gray

[plush umbra]

It’s pretty much all of my gameplay the last few days running around in that armor fighting those

[uncut bough]

and also some skelly has shield, you aint fightin them

[plush umbra]

It’s only tankier if you don’t use club tbh

I don’t think the shields do anything so they

[frozen void]

nah they dont use their shield

[plush umbra]

The archers on very hard is what’s really terrifying. I haven’t been hit by a 2 star yet but I have a feeling it would probably one shot me if not leave me with 10hp

[bright rock]

I find wooden shield pretty useful before I have any troll armor pieces

[pliant hatch]

I've never seen the skellies using their shields. Doubt they even got the brains to use them.

[frozen void]

regular greydwarves and skellies have same hp, but skellies deal almost twice as much damage

[plush umbra]

I think it just feels tankier since I imagine most people are running slash weapons that early

[bright rock]

No one use the almighty club?

[pliant hatch]

I do.

First things I craft: hammer, club and flint axe.
After that it's gathering enough resources for a workbench, some walls, some roofs, crafting a bow and a stack of wooden arrows before terrorizing the Deer.
And their boss. 😄

[bright rock]

mmm, I feel like staying in meadow without killing deer boss early would be a great start in hardcore

Stock up all the food from constant raids

[plush umbra]

depends on what hardcore is to you

hard to stock up though since food goes by so fast

[bright rock]

That they do, but we can make them less of a problem while working towards a better and easier accessed source of food

[flat hinge]

I dont like draugr

Even with a shield and spear

[plush umbra]

honeslty the raids arent a problem till you kill elder anyway

the forest is moving is just free mats and skills

[bright rock]

Now I wonder how hard the mini bosses from Hildir quests will become in hardmode…

[plush umbra]

rough if on very hard

we're having more trouble with no map than veryhard with hardcore lol

trolls one shotting you is rough though

[gritty socket]

Will tames die due to starvation ❓

[pliant hatch]

nope

[plush umbra]

there isnt anything in the game that has real hunger

[bright rock]

Having to spend half a day to kite a troll is quite annoying indeed

[plush umbra]

you will heal them with food though

[plush umbra]

its only a dozen arrows with finewood bow

i was absolutely terrified of them but after the last few days of dealing with them theyre almost feeling easy

I still cry and pee myself a lil though

ive put about dozen hours just making paths through the blackforest the last two days and trolls are such pests

[bright rock]

Literally anyone when they first see troll in the older days

[cosmic oak]

If you free range breed Wolves there's a chance they can feed themselves (Deer), I also free range Boar and Hens, both for Wolf food and general havoc when enemies spawn 😁

[plush umbra]

ive had so much gear deleted by trolls now

and of course hes another troll to deal with smh

about to lose 45 bow skill to one hit

[cosmic oak]

Feasible to build Crafting Tables along the path? Or periodic raised earth Stonehenges

[plush umbra]

like as theyre chasing you?

[cosmic oak]

Almost any other time. Tables will prevent nearby spawn at least

[plush umbra]

theyre already spawned

the paths are just running into them

its been about 20 of them now

[cosmic oak]

Do the Stonehenges first and clear them, then the tables

[narrow mountain]

So I was messing around with dedicated server settings and even though I have modifier portal hard it still sets it to casual. At one point had no map too but we didn't like it. Thoughts?

[plush umbra]

that would be hundreds of tables at this rate

[plush umbra]

I had to upload my world with the modifiers to get them to stick

[narrow mountain]

So move file from cloud to local change teh dedicated server setting and then reupload to cloud?

[plush umbra]

oh I did it through a hosting service so idk

I just made the world local then uploaded it to the site

[echo mural]

Just came across this 2 star pig, but these greylings won't leave me alone. Followed me all the way back to base and tried to violate my other piggies. thankfully I managed to rescue this 2 star

[crimson wyvern]

Beat the game, still no trader.

[plush umbra]

cheat time!!!

[crimson wyvern]

RAHHHHHH!!!!

[normal badger]

Do all tree logs yield the same amount of wood?

[cosmic oak]

I remember it being tough and whatever you do stamina usually dooms you early on 😦 Sounds like a path too far. Close enough to the coast to ship it instead?

[plush umbra]

It’s a no map run the path is for navigation

Took over 12 hours to get it where it was suppose to go

Man losing 48 bow skill to being one shot by a wraith is rough

[cosmic oak]

Wow OK, I guess you don't have the stones to build a raised earth defence per Troll Cave along the path

[plush umbra]

It’s also .5 resource rate and idk who would even bother doing that over killing them

[cosmic oak]

I got the impression it was the Trolls doing all the killing 👀

[plush umbra]

Not in the long run. Now it’s wraiths one shotting me

Will take a good bit of time to get the bow skill back for easily killing trolls though

[light moat]

I can’t get over how awesome the frost caves are, very fun dungeons! The mountain biome is packed with content imo.

Normally not a fan of light armor, but the fenris set is just too cool.

[rain flare]

It really is dope! 🥳

Really wish I could settle in a frost cave 😭

Legit it’s the only thing other than dverger building pieces that legit makes me think of adding mods to this game 😂

[green remnant]

Anyone got an idea on when will be the new update dropping in valheim

[cosmic oak]

The result was Partially Successful. Managed two cliff jumps with the latest cape and cart attached. The cart survived two launches (suprisingly). If you load it up right on the edge and land somewhere you can launch again from, you're covering decent ground down a steep descent. Even when the cart breaks, you get cargo boxes that aren't hard to locate.

[formal kraken]

Get to paving some Roman roads and your carts do most of the work for you after. It'd be a lot easier if the cart could turn when tilted on one side so you could build better hot wheels sets, but whatever.

[cosmic oak]

Just testing a theory about getting Silver down from a mountain the most time efficient way when its a long way up and steep

[exotic cradle]

don't listen to a zandalari their architecture isn't meant for carts

[rain flare]

Longship 🤣

[faint arch]

Did they change the flying copper strat? So the copper just floats in the air and then you just hit it once and everything drops

[ionic iron]

Still works I think

[latent wraith]

Works like it's always done.

[craggy mason]

It's just that you really really need to clear as much terrain as you can

It might not look like it but sometimes the game still considers the node to be connected

Imo it works best with silver veins

[fair cairn]

it works like 90% of the time with copper nodes, though thats also probably becouse i look for well placed copper nodes that are already 40% exposed on a cliffside

[latent wraith]

90% might be a fair assessment since sometimes the copper nodes are too closed to the water level to properly dig underneath.

100% of the times you can actually get to dig under them properly it works.

[fair cairn]

also, most of the raids i get are at copper nodes
will probably also happen in the mountains with silver nodes

[glacial seal]

anyone play together ?

[fair cairn]

maybe look in #1024264966712340510 if your looking for a fren

[quiet birch]

Can who German

[fair cairn]

....what?

its a english only server

if your looking fora german speaker to play with you can look in #1024264966712340510 for german speaking players

[rustic compass]

Good morning, do wet mobs takes more damage from the lightning stick?

because i havent noticed any yellow numbies

[uncut bough]

Guys, is it worth it playing on public server? Are the risks of getting griefed worthy?

[strange arrow]

just don't take anything you wouldn't want to lose

and back everything up (beforehand)

that way yr protected

[uncut bough]

How to back everything up?

[strange arrow]

saving should do it, sleeping in bed triggers a save

[uncut bough]

But then what is the reward in playing public? Are there more loots or sum?

[strange arrow]

team play is fun, and a different challenge

[uncut bough]

Hmm i will consider it. My profile before i logged off have a few good stuff in there, like bronze armor and ax

And if i want to join public then i will use leather suit which is in my friend’s server which i cant access rn

[rustic compass]

how do I unlock tier 4 black forge?

[gentle ermine]

its not released yet

[rustic compass]

ahh aight

[rain flare]

Ashlands will probably include the 4th upgrade

[rustic compass]

is mistwalker better than frostner? Id hope so but I'd better ask because im low on refiner eitr

[rain flare]

In general swords do more damage than maces

[rustic compass]

sword it is then

[rain flare]

And mistwalker is no exception - it just depends on which skill tree you invested in

Not to mention that mistwalker has a small passive ability like a wisplight

Just smaller radius

The main problem with clubs is their secondary is likely to hit the ground and hen multi target penalties start kicking in

Swords don’t have that issue with their secondary and do hectic damage

[rustic compass]

everything but the sword haha

can giant skulls only be found in the dwarf excavation sites? or am I just unlucky

[rain flare]

You can find whole ass giants my man

Excavation sites are not the only source of giant skulls

My favourites are the ones with a giant skull, rib cage, and sword jammed together

Makes you wonder how they died and why they were fighting each other

[rustic compass]

guess im just unlucky then

[rain flare]

Unfortunately

[rustic compass]

I'll just go rob the dwarves its fine

[rain flare]

Mind the ticks if you find a giant skeleton though

They tend to spawn in quite a few if you find a giant skelly on it’s own

[rustic compass]

ive got an atgeir I do not care

[charred pewter]

how do I make my own ballista not shoot at me WITHOUT enforcing a single enemy type with a trophy?

[rain flare]

Ballista will either shoot everything, or only one type of mob.

There isn’t a workaround for that.

Best you can do is aim it away from your base since ballista have a 90* angle where they can target stuff

But otherwise you are getting shot at my man

[charred pewter]

what moron designed that?

[rain flare]

BUT, ballista are best used on big mobs

So aiming for gjall, trolls, etc isn’t that bad

[charred pewter]

like why would I want a weapon at my base that then kills ME when trying to enter that base??

[rain flare]

You and half the community would like to know 😂😂😂

It’s such an ass pain!
mostly because the bloody ballista just shot us in the butt

[charred pewter]

the wards does have a fire/foe mechanic, I do not see why we cannot use that exact same system for the ballista

[rustic compass]

everythings a foe to the ballista

[charred pewter]

obviously you cannot maintain one ballista for each and every enemy type, I just cannot see how the devs did not see that issue

[strange arrow]

oh they did

[gray nexus]

they did, exactly why they are that way. Not that I like or agree with it

[charred pewter]

IF they did, they would have changed it

[strange arrow]

they like to troll us players with half useful stuff or stuff that can backfire on us

[rain flare]

Troll trap ptsd intensifies

[cosmic oak]

Did you try sneaking past it

[gray nexus]

The best advice I can give you for ballista is keep them non-trophy and level up sneak skill

[rain flare]

Man sweating bricks while trying to stealth farm his crops

[charred pewter]

have not build the troll trap yet, so you say that magical weapon also cannot see friend or foe??

[rain flare]

Well if you are dumb enough to step on it like yours truly 🤣

[charred pewter]

tried after second attempt to get back to base, did not work, stamina bot good enough

food behind ballista ...

[cosmic oak]

I'm just making the perimeter of my base so big and high that I can afford to point them inwards. Still, they waste ammo missing Deathsquitoes

[rustic compass]

so wait you got soft locked out of your base by your own ballista?

[rain flare]

Oh no 😂🙈😂

[gray nexus]

Pointing ballistas inwards?

[charred pewter]

correct, currently trying to make them run out of ammo

[rustic compass]

ahahaha

[rain flare]

I swear this is Loki’s doing

He’s probably laughing his ass off at our expense

[cosmic oak]

Yep, preparing for the inevitable day when air raids come

[charred pewter]

did not expect the devs to be that stupid to build a turret that fires at its owner

[rain flare]

Blame Loki

[rustic compass]

well I have some bad news, its the ballistas base now, you gotta bring her a worthy sacrifice

[charred pewter]

I know the god, but is there also a dev called loki?

[strange arrow]

Loki involvement confirmed

[rain flare]

Nice fat juicy trolls 😂

[rain flare]

I’ll tell you a secret:
||The dev’s enjoy our suffering 🙈||

[rustic compass]

dig under your base like a reverse prison break

[gray nexus]

pointing it outwards should be fine no? they'll kill most stuff before they can approach in most cases

[heady parcel]

Never built a ballista for the reasons discussed here, but once I unlock them this time my plan is to shove a troll trophy into it when going outside the base and remove it when I get back. So when I know will spend some time inside and there is a risk of invasions, they will be ready..

[charred pewter]

well it is pointing outwards and killing the owner trying to get back in 😄

[naive plover]

I'm new here, is thier any server i can join with

[neat tendon]

Never used a ballista either, do they kill deathsquitos pretty well?

[gray nexus]

I have planned and built my base wall around the idea of having 80 ballistas on the walls lmao, no trophy ones

[rustic compass]

a comedy and a half

[rain flare]

Plenty of people there bud ❤️

[rain flare]

It should be on film

Would make an excellent Timelapse 😂

[uncut bough]

if i play in public games, is raiding a house and stealing its content frowned upon or am i free to do whatever i want?

[rain flare]

Loki worshipper right here

[charred pewter]

it seems there is a mod for that

[rain flare]

It’s ALWAYS FROWNED UPON you muppet 😂

[uncut bough]

well i mean obviously people will lay obstacles and traps that i wont bother getting thru but i am just asking

[cosmic oak]

I have a tar pit within the base to auto harvest, not covered by Crafting stations. Mobs spawn there which is what I want, but airborne could be a different story

[uncut bough]

so i can just build my house there and not get raided, know what im sayin?

[gray nexus]

the tar output from growths is so low that I didn't bother doing that xd

[uncut bough]

i don't do raid, i want to ask so i will apply that logic to myself and not expect to be raided

[rain flare]

But yes, you can do whatever - just don’t expect your neighbors to like you very much 😉

[heady parcel]

I'd say it is best to find out what policies are in place on that particular server

[uncut bough]

yea but i am askin for my own sake, i rather mine copper, live and let live

[cosmic oak]

Not at all, try a Greydwarf Shaman bug zapper

[strange arrow]

rule of multiplayer: nothing is safe, ever, no matter how much you try, so make sure anything you don't want to lose is saved beforehand

[rain flare]

Build a ward, hide your chests in a secret compartment, or just don’t play with naives you know what I’m saying?

[uncut bough]

maybe i don't but appreciate you

[ember kraken]

Basically, you ask the guy running the server what is allowed or not, before/when you're asking to join a server. Since there's no open public servers.

[rain flare]

It’s frowned upon, but that doesn’t mean some clown won’t do it 😞

[heady parcel]

But Valheim is mostly intended to be played co-operatively, with ppl you can trust. I've never and would never be interested in playing it on a pvp-ish competitive server

[uncut bough]

my building skill is terrible, i haven't know how to make secret rooms yet

ah dont worry in public server i dont bring my most valuable stuff, i mainly play with friend in another server where we share everything, so playing public server is more like a side hustle where i can mine copper and drop it in my server

[pliant hatch]

Tried to keep it unloaded with the bolts stored in a chest nearby?

[uncut bough]

i have a love hate relationship with the stamina system, mainly because just how often i am mining copper and 2 greys attacks me, then i would be at 0 stamina and try to swing melee at them

[strange arrow]

world hopping with friends

[uncut bough]

also stamina just make running away from troll a lil hard

[pliant hatch]

That's what the Eikthyr power and a balance of using the [shift] key are for.

[uncut bough]

1 friend ;), and also it is only me hopping world, he only plays at a specific time of the day

[strange arrow]

i'm not sure anyone is concerned about copper mining anyway

tin on the other hand....

[uncut bough]

but i want mining to take a lil less stamina :(, so i dont often end up ganged by greys, they are not dangerous, just super annoying when i got hit by a pebble 10 meter away and take chip dmg

[uncut bough]

wym? so far i find tin so easy to mine. Sure they are so easy that the rate of getting tin ore is much higher than copper

like tin ore, 4-5 swings and 4 ore. Copper ore, 7-8 swings for a chunk of copper to break and get 1-2 ore

[strange arrow]

on a public server local sources of tin tend to run out relatively quickly

[uncut bough]

ah, time to adapt and overcome then dons pirate hat

god send his most dedicated miner with low level gear with me who sole intention is to get ore one way or another

[pliant hatch]

If you're mining copper, start by mining around the node, place a campfire near the spot where you go down first; and two more at halfway points around it.
When that's done, start mining the node from bottom to top so you're quite safe.
Most of the times the Greydwarves miss you with their pebbles, but it gives you time to stop mining and regain stamina.

Also, place a workbench in that mined out area and a campfire near it, so you're able to get a rested bonus.

[strange arrow]

just wait till the tin police catch you 🙈

[uncut bough]

wym node? you sayin that there are more copper than just a giant protruding part of copper ore from the rock?

[pliant hatch]

Yup. It's a big flat ball of copper.

[uncut bough]

i am that tin police, i will extort tin taxes from every low level guy i might find

[pliant hatch]

You should be able to get 90-100 copper out of one node

[cosmic oak]

Did you try this? #screenshots message

[uncut bough]

try what?, i dont get it

[cosmic oak]

Getting lucky with your Pick swing 😉

[bright rock]

This is what I was implying just 9 hours ago

[strange arrow]

lel hope that works out for you

[uncut bough]

i am devastated, i have deleted 3 markings of copper from my map cuh i thought it ran dry

and the other 2 are just "conveniently" halfway across the continent through forests and elevations

[strange arrow]

what you can see will only net you around 1/3 of what you can get by fully excavating

[uncut bough]

damn it

well at least i got enough resources to make a boat

[cosmic oak]

Anyone know if there are cases where the F5 Stats are reset? Realised I have 2 Golem trophies and was hoping to see how many I had killed and noticed that the stats seem wrong in most cases (also there is no per mob kill stat?)

Pretty sure I've killed less than 12 Golems

[merry pebble]

and you got 2 trophys?! fml

[cosmic oak]

Yeah sorry about that

[strange arrow]

rng smiling on you

[cosmic oak]

Do you want a picture /runs

[merry pebble]

i killed more than 40 of them and got only 1 😭

[rustic compass]

what if Im the only person I can trust? :)

[cosmic oak]

I only recently found out they are rare

[rugged pulsar]

play alone, then

[bright rock]

Oh, I thought golems don’t have trophy for some reason

[gray nexus]

you're too lucky lol

Golem trophies are the best decor imo

[strange arrow]

just (usually) very rare

[bright rock]

I’ve killed so much golem but never got one

[cosmic oak]

Maybe sparing them is key

[bright rock]

My iron mace says otherwise

[merry pebble]

never, kill them all! XD

[uncut bough]

devs put monster in this game to be killed, so kill them all

[cosmic oak]

Meh sometimes I just let the Loxes do it

[uncut bough]

i used to think that the, uh, first boss ( i am not typing that name) is some kind of challenging boss so me and my friend made leather armor suits level 3 and while he focus on making shield and flint spear, i play with arrow, flaming arrow, flint arrow

and then the boss was so easy picking, even easier than troll :/

[merry pebble]

Eikthyr 😉

[wicked kestrel]

well it is the first boss after all

[bright rock]

Eksthir

[uncut bough]

yea i overestimated how hard it is, so when we came marching in it was easy pickings

[cosmic oak]

Bless you

[uncut bough]

blessed are the wicked by my hand

[rugged pulsar]

DAMN my first swamp contains bonemass spawn!!!

[pliant hatch]

How dare the dev's make the tutorial boss too easy!
Outragious! 😠

[rustic compass]

ngl the first few bosses werent hard

[strange arrow]

he's the "did you do anything to prepare?" boss, if the answer in any way is yes he's cake

[wicked kestrel]

The first boss should make any new player rage-quit in difficulty!1!1!!!

[faint nebula]

ive been wondering what the body count would be if you went through the whole game naked with just a club

[rustic compass]

time to go commit theft and murder on the dwarves!

[gray nexus]

body count naked u say

[bright rock]

I found a hosted infested mine yesterday, had 1 core on first floor and 4 cores in hidden room

[gray nexus]

I would keep dying anyways, that said I've had quite a few naked run for retrieving stuff, on a serious note

[cosmic oak]

Anyone else build a wooden fort over it and had to battle it out on the roof

[uncut bough]

nah i believing in giving the boss a fight, not farming simulator

but i am not saying i disagree with that kind of strategy, for me i just dont wanna farm the boss since it is easy enough

[cosmic oak]

Roof fight was more challenging tho 🤔

[wicked kestrel]

ive got his altar basically inside my current base

or at least part of it

[rustic compass]

omg I think I found the first skull

that im not stealing that is

[bright rock]

Watch out for the ticks, especially starred ones

[rustic compass]

himmin afl sent his regards to them

smth about the lightning striking your foes is so satisfying

[plush umbra]

I notice that I use trees to break down other trees that I can’t hit yet like birch trees, is this a normal thing to do? 🤣

[bright rock]

It’s a thing people usually do

You can get fine wood early that way and skip crude bow

[plush umbra]

I figured lol!

[rugged pulsar]

who uses crude bow?

[wicked kestrel]

bitch trees?

[bright rock]

🤨

[plush umbra]

Oh crap 😭

[rugged pulsar]

jajcarz

[bright rock]

The trees are sus

[rustic compass]

I did :(

[rugged pulsar]

😭

[wicked kestrel]

Crude bow is certainly a bow

[plush umbra]

I also did 😞

[gray nexus]

me

[rugged pulsar]

im cornered

[wicked kestrel]

Crude bow is pretty standard for you silly little guy

[rugged pulsar]

im taking down harder enemies with my dodge skills and flint knife

[pliant hatch]

I did.
Makes a great hunting tool with wooden arrows.
Or to defeat Eikthyr.

[gray nexus]

like it's bad for actual use but if you wanna train your bow skill... best thing out there

[cosmic oak]

I used to throw my arrows instead

[gray nexus]

I trained my bow skill from 58 to 91 by grabbing a crude bow and spamming arrows on bonemass from above, totally worth it

[rugged pulsar]

honest random seeker reaction to lvl 91 bow

[gray nexus]

i can 1 shot seekers with sneak and 3 shot without any but that's not the important part of the skill anyways

It's the attack speed, you can fully nock an arrow in less than a second

[wicked kestrel]

i hear a lot about these seekers but i reckon ill find out what they are whenever i get to the point they exist

[strange arrow]

xD

[latent wraith]

Don't worry, they will seek you out,

[wicked kestrel]

i dont think theyll seek me out in the black forest..

[gray nexus]

they will

only meadows are safe, stay in your grassy lands viking

[wicked kestrel]

I havent killed the elder yet so im not going to believe you

i choose ignorance

[rugged pulsar]

your journey begins warrior, your next biome will be your first nightmare

trust me pal

[strange arrow]

one does not simply seekers

[cosmic oak]

So the stamina requirement was low but the skill gain was the same as any bow. Nice one

[lunar sapphire]

"please do not the cat"

[gray nexus]

yep with crude bow, I ran out of stamina like after spamming 150 arrows or something

[wicked kestrel]

I look forwards to not die horribly

[gray nexus]

wait a few seconds keep going, crude bow can be repaired easily at work bench too

[bright rock]

Swamp is quite manageable in vanilla imo

Though newer players will be spooked abit

All that ambient sound makes people paranoid

[wicked kestrel]

anyways i did plan to do some exploring today, though I do also want a bit more copper

[gray nexus]

i think the swamps environment is what's more scary than the mobs

[bright rock]

True that

[wicked kestrel]

i want to map out the edges of my starting island

[strange arrow]

also night is very deadly

[wicked kestrel]

i dont like being out at night anyways

[gray nexus]

i never bother going anywhere in night

except plains to farm blackmetal when I need it ig

[wicked kestrel]

havent even been out in the black forest at night

[gray nexus]

i have in black forest at night for mining

[wicked kestrel]

though it's probably manageable now that most of my gear is as upgraded as it can be in the black forest

[gray nexus]

even gotten raided by ||fulings|| while mining

but I dig around the deposits so things usually can't get down

I have mined too much in this game ngl

Pickaxe lvl 91 smh

[cosmic oak]

82 here, I tend to get my stone from Greydwarves nowadays

[gray nexus]

same

most of my pickaxe level is due to copper and iron

I have explored like

40 crypts

[pliant hatch]

wonders if playing to get the bare essentials and nothing else is the right method
🤔

[gray nexus]

that's the beauty of it, there's no right or wrong method

[pliant hatch]

Except I would enter Mistland with much lower skills. Including fighting skills.

Although it was enough to defeat that damn roach.....

twice.

[gray nexus]

🤷‍♂️

[pliant hatch]

And it was by far the worst boss fight I've ever done in this game.

[strange arrow]

you could probably go there with 0 in all skills and still defeat her if you really wanted....

[rustic compass]

where does the mist boss Vegvisir spawn?

[pliant hatch]

Only a masochist would do that

[merry pebble]

in the infested mines

[rustic compass]

unlucky then I suppose yet again

[merry pebble]

not sure if there are other structures that it spawns in

[cosmic oak]

||Greydwarf spawncamping|| is what got my ||Blood Magic|| to 88

[pliant hatch]

The spawn will always activate the moment you read the rune stone near it as well.
So just read all runestones near structures and sooner or later one will either tell you it's the spawnpoint of that particular boss or point you to it.

[merry pebble]

rune stones will never tell you where the boss spawn location is, if you don´t mean rune stones that are part of the boss summoning location at which point its kinda useless since you are already there

[pliant hatch]

Like I said: read rune stones NEAR STRUCTURES

[merry pebble]

yes?

[pliant hatch]

You know, things like stair cases, rocks sticking out of the ground, in tombs, castle ruins, things like that.

Not those just standing in a forest,

Or at a meadows

[merry pebble]

you mean Veigvisirs, those are not runestones

you mean the rocks with circular symbol on them, that is a veigvisir, rune stone is the rock with text on it

[pliant hatch]

OMG. We got a purist here.

They're encarved with runes, right?
Which makes them a rune stone.
Vesigvir is just an old (scandinavian?) word for a device to point into a direction.
Just like the Dutch word "weg wijzer".

[merry pebble]

they are two different thing in the game, thats why i make the distinction, they are two different things with different purposes

one is called veigvisir and the other rune stone

[pliant hatch]

And how would you call the stones near the altar or the entrance to the Queen's lair?
Because that's certianly not pointing you into any direction.

[bright rock]

The rune stones gives you lore information, the vesigirs gives boss location

[frozen void]

Im not entirely sure what you mean by altar being activated by vegvisirs though

[merry pebble]

yes, why would they point you to direction of something you are standing in front of?

[languid root]

All vegvisirs are rune stones
Not all rune stones are vegvisirs

In game at least

[latent wraith]

The main point, I think, is clearness. Vegvisirs are specific stones that have a specific game play effect, whereas "runestones" is a broad term encompassing many different runestones. Saying "runestones show where the boss is" is like saying "beams can hold up a hearth" which is true for iron wood beams but not for wood beams. It's not wrong as such, just quite potentially misleading.

[pliant hatch]

So, how do you call those?

Encarved stones with a lot of lore?

[merry pebble]

rune stones 🙂 since they give you lore info (kinda)

[gray nexus]

Well, technically interacting with the altar's stones also marks the boss marker on your map similar to a vegvisir iirc sooo 🤷‍♂️ they're pretty much same

[pliant hatch]

Things is, I was pretty clear about it.

I said So just read all runestones near structures and sooner or later one will either tell you it's the spawnpoint of that particular boss or point you to it.

With that I meant both the vesigvirs and the rune stons telling about the lore of that particular boss.

But then someone wanted to make a seperation between those two, because (s)he can't read.

[pliant hatch]

And that's exactly what I said in different wording.

sighs

[gray nexus]

I was just replying to the immediate conversation, dunno what u said originally

[crystal sigil]

hey guys, ||are sea serpents still a thing|| ? i did not encounter one yet

[gray nexus]

what do you even mean by "spawn will activate" tho

[merry pebble]

yep

[pliant hatch]

Yes they are. Still spawn at night and during storms

[crystal sigil]

ooh, thank you

[languid root]

That was another great deep topic to keep us entertained for hours potentially

[crystal sigil]

Oooh that is why

[pliant hatch]

The moment you read the stone at the spawnpoint of that particular boss, the altar will be listed as the boss altar if you haven't found it yet.

If you find a vesigvir and read that one before having found the boss spawn, the boss will spawn at the nearest altar.

So both types of rune stones will activate the boss spawn; which why it's so convenient to do the first thing at the Yagluth altar, as this vesigvirs are pretty hard to find.

[wicked kestrel]

a pouch icon randomly showed up on my map while exploring, huh

i guess ill go to it

[gray nexus]

The runestones at boss altars are shaped like a vegvisir are they not? am I misremembering

[pliant hatch]

That's one of the traders.

[latent wraith]

The vegvisirs just show the location of the closest boss altar to them, they don't affect anything else than your map.

[wicked kestrel]

neat

[pliant hatch]

They might be, but offer a bit of lore too, iirc

[pliant hatch]

sigh

[gray nexus]

meh weird topic to argue about anyways

[wicked kestrel]

I made my way to the trader

[languid root]

man you're bravely fighting against the windmills. but it is time to give up

[wicked kestrel]

i dont have enough money on me to buy anything other than fishing bait...

[gray nexus]

drop a portal next to him if you brought materials

[wicked kestrel]

i didnt bring materials :)

[gray nexus]

always next time

[wicked kestrel]

this starting island is a lot larger than i expected

anyways i might as well make a little base next to this trader

[pliant hatch]

You know the location now anyway.
So next time when heading out that way, bring portal materials and set up a small house with a portal, fire and bed, making it easier to visit both the trader and gather BF resources.

[languid root]

portal mats is a must anytime you go out even for 5 min

[wicked kestrel]

yeah ill definitively bring portal mats next time i go here

i also found a large rock in the water with barnacles on it i think, earlier

[pliant hatch]

And since you checked his stock, keep in mind the 950 gold item is one of the most important one right now.

You can buy it after selling the gems to him as well, so better prepare for some burial chamber exploring.
Or troll-cave-diving.

The rock with barnacles is also a special spot. Mine the barnacles, but don't be afraid when things got a bit shaky.

[wicked kestrel]

I marked it on the map at least so i can come back to that rock

[gray nexus]

I would avoid adding fire

Just workbench and portal is better since doesn't count as raid-able

[pliant hatch]

With a fire it'll make a nice place to get a rested bonus, before venturing out for exploration and / or hunting again.
Can even put a bed there as spawn point.
And as I've learned over time, you can never have too few spawn points.

[verbal wedge]

Can I give my friend admin perms on Xbox yet?

[wicked kestrel]

oh so the barrier around a trader just makes monsters run away, tried to lead a troll to it

[pliant hatch]

yup.
There are wards around that place protecting the area.
Which makes it a decent safe zone for any player.

[wicked kestrel]

okay i just need a couple more finewood and then i can make a portal

then ill have to run all the way back home and set up a portal there as well

[frozen void]

Even if you can, all it would is allow your friend to do is kick/ban/unban etc

[verbal wedge]

I just wanna build with my friends

It'd be easier if they could fly

[frozen void]

You can enable no cost building in world modifiers, but not flying

[dense steppe]

you need to build with ladders, supports, fall a couple of times and die, but flying and building is too easy 😸

[gray nexus]

You'll open yourself to raids for no apparent reason. I don't see any merit in that.

[uncut bough]

is there a guide on how to build house? i am struggling with building a decent house

[bright rock]

Raids are just free material giving themselves to us

[fallen zephyr]

Foundations are pretty key. Building the 'skeleton' before putting all the panels in helps - pay attention to the colour coding.

[dense steppe]

use your imagination 😼

[gray nexus]

Just search on yt, you'll find thousands of vids

[uncut bough]

i suck at that, usually in minecraft the blocks are even, but here the grounds are slopey and all

not saying i was good at building house in minecraft, even i suck at that in minecraft

[dense steppe]

@uncut boughplant an oak tree, make radial branches from it from pine logs, put up supports, and build a house around the oak tree 😼

[fallen zephyr]

Leveling ground and 'snapping' will be your friend. But yeh, check out YT vids is good advice.

[dense steppe]

@uncut boughI planted a pine tree and built a tower around it up to the sky 😸 👍

[brazen shore]

Also, make sure every piece you think is touching ground is blue before building up.

[fallen zephyr]

What was the diameter of the tower? I'm curious what you can get away with with a tree for foundation.

[rustic compass]

in what order should I make the magic staffs?

[wicked kestrel]

lovely got a raid while building a spot for the portal at the trader

[dense steppe]

@fallen zephyrnice bar, spacious jacuzzi... What else do you need for happiness? 😸

[lethal walrus]

i just died to smoke while cooking carrot soup in a pot

[dense steppe]

yes, everything shines there 😼 👍

@fallen zephyrthe design is very light, only load-bearing external columns, stairs on the side and not in the center, there is a lot of space left 😼

[rustic compass]

also is jotuns bane an axe? because im a sucker for elemental damage but idk if I want an axe

[fallen zephyr]

Indeed! I do love my bar.

[dense steppe]

@fallen zephyr I plan to build the tower even higher, now it is at the level of the top of the pine tree, but from the top, like from the ground, you can build even higher 😼 👍

[fallen zephyr]

You're not the first and you won't be the last.

[dense steppe]

fire, then protective, then summon, then ice staffs 😼

[dense steppe]

one-handed ax with poison damage, nothing interesting 😾

[merry pebble]

better for choping wood but thats all 😄

not as durable as BM axe unfortunately

[dense steppe]

not worth the time and resources 😼

[cosmic oak]

Builds a little temporary hut at a location of interest for a portal. I might as well start a fire so I can rest here. Ah that's better. Gets raided Repeat enough times to learn the hard way what the rules are.

[merry pebble]

for now, yes, we will have to see if it will be good for ashlands 😄

[lethal walrus]

the swamp is killing me

keep dying to poison

[faint nebula]

my pet peeve is a blob in my boat.
brew anti-poison meads

[merry pebble]

do you have poison resistance mead?

[lethal walrus]

i havent unlocked anything new since the elder boss

[wicked kestrel]

poison resist mead can be made in the black forest tho

[merry pebble]

you should need coal, neck tail, thistle and honey for the mead base iirc

[cosmic oak]

So Valheim 🤣

[dense steppe]

if you are in great health, then you don’t need an antidote 😼

[faint nebula]

my last playthrough, I neglected to touch a neck tail. took me forever to figure out why I couldn't make the mead base 🥺

[wicked kestrel]

and that's why it's a good idea to always collect at least 1 of every item you find

[cosmic oak]

If it's a Golem trophy always get 2

[merry pebble]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Mead_base:_Poison_resistance there we go 😄

[wicked kestrel]

havent even seen a golem myself yet

[lethal walrus]

i wish we could have flat thatch roof

[cosmic oak]

You'll know it when you do

[wicked kestrel]

probably

[merry pebble]

and be ready you will not get the trophy easily XD

[wicked kestrel]

have those critters in the title screen always been there?

[lethal walrus]

working off grid is a nightmare

[cosmic oak]

Not if you embrace irregularity

[lethal walrus]

my roofs just cant be nice

[cosmic oak]

Just have to put with ones that direct snow and rain off the roof

[cosmic oak]

Uh oh

[wicked kestrel]

wdym uh oh?

[cosmic oak]

You probably don't want to meet one of them in a Dark Forest alley

[light moat]

That greydwarf that just… watches you

[wicked kestrel]

weirdest greydwarf ive ever seen if that's what it is, being all invertebrate and everything

[light moat]

Isn’t there a greydwarf hiding in there? At least there used to be lol I haven’t really been looking closely recently

[wicked kestrel]

what i saw were three ant things, two hiding behind the character

[cosmic oak]

Yeah that's no Greydwarf... Worse. Much worse 😩

[rustic compass]

hmm is mage armor worth making it? because it seems like a good way to get one shot in the mistlands

[wicked kestrel]

either way i cant wait to find one and die horribly 😊

[cosmic oak]

My approach was to level up the matching skills before swapping out my high AC gear

[wicked kestrel]

can i do anythign with ancient seeds in the black forest btw?

[rustic compass]

ah so that means no

[cosmic oak]

You will need some

[merry pebble]

save at least 3

[wicked kestrel]

I got three on me and one at home so that's perfect

[cosmic oak]

Better to chuck stuff in a pit in your base when you have too much of something to store it than discard and let it despawn, IMHO

[light moat]

The music in the frost caves is so good! Really hope we get a way to play different soundtracks at our base, there’s a lot of really great music.

[wicked kestrel]

got home and linked my portal to the trader one, had enough money to buy the expensive thing

[merry pebble]

you got the belt? 😄

[wicked kestrel]

yeah!

[merry pebble]

nice, enjoy more carry weight

[light moat]

Can you put meginjord (probably spelled wrong) on an armor stand?

[wicked kestrel]

i might. i want that fishing rod as well but i just barely dont have the money for it

[rustic compass]

I just have 2 obliterators i use as chests for stuff I dont need

if I end up needing them I can grab em if not I can pull the lever

[gray nexus]

I mean technically you can remove the workbench and keep 10 wood in a chest and build a fire instead, that could work too. I prefer the WB+Portal combo more tho. My rested buff lasts 24 mins so never need to get worried about being rested in between, just sleeping

[merry pebble]

on or two visits in burial chambers should fix that 😄

[wicked kestrel]

probably lol

i mean i only need like 15 more coins, and another 10 for the bait

[frozen token]

massive plains biome 😍

[wicked kestrel]

i still havent found any biomes other than meadows, black forest and mountain

[frozen token]

mountains 🥶

[fallen zephyr]

Take some bug spray to the plains.

[languid root]

ask some trolls to give their school breakfast money to you

[fallen zephyr]

School breakfast? I've heard of school lunches, but I'

I've never had breakfast at school

[languid root]

There's nothing crazy about it, you wake up go to school and then have your breakfast there - voila school breakfast

is there really no way of getting tamed boars back in once they escape?

Oh, boarding school. Yeh, fair enough

It’s a challenge for sure, sometimes you can push them? But yeah, it’s pretty difficult 😦

[normal badger]

I've got only 1 boar and a piglet left and not yet cultivating carrots

will it still mate with it's parent even if there's no food?

(my understanding is that once tamed they only accept carrots)

[light moat]

So they do require food to mate, but it’s not limited to carrots. You can use berries, red mushrooms (not yellow!) or pretty much any veggie.

[normal badger]

oh really?

[light moat]

I believe at one point they required carrots, but that is no longer the case

[normal badger]

awesome, thanks

must've been an outdated video

also what would i need to survive the mountains? (not freeze)

is leather/trollhide enough?

[faint nebula]

frost resist meads, though I've seen players stage camp fires as they explore and run from one to the next.
digging trenches to walk through helps avoid attacks

[light moat]

You’re likely going to want to start with frost mead, then the first thing I usually make is a wolf pelt cape!

[frozen void]

you can teleport in materials to make a smelter and a tier 3 workbench, so you can make the cape without leaving the mountains

ah, you even only need a level 2 workbench, even easier

[fallen zephyr]

You can teleport out of the mountains to your tier 3 workbench at home - even easier 😛

[frozen void]

how are you gonna teleport the silver?

i guess with modifiers

[fallen zephyr]

magic

... I'll be in the corner.

[light moat]

👆metal through teleporter user spotted!

Kidding, no hate, play how you want 😎

[wicked kestrel]

got another raid, just as my well rested buff disappeared :)

at least i got a greydwarf brute trophy from it, one of the trophies im missing from black forest

[glass parrot]

Is there anyway to get the queen back in the boss room cause she escaped it

[odd marsh]

shell now start roaming the world, terrorizing it with her newborns

like a colony of bees multiplying till it darkens the skies

[glass parrot]

Okay so I can’t get her back in there then?

[modest topaz]

restrictive teleports was a great design decision

[light moat]

Like restricting metals?

[regal spoke]

No map and no portals feels good.

[light moat]

I would definitely like to try that someday

Are you currently doing a playthrough with those modifiers enabled @regal spoke?

[regal spoke]

I found a great video that may be worth watching/saving.

Yea I'm playing in Germs server

[light moat]

Nice, what are some challenges about it besides the obvious?

[regal spoke]

Maintaining your bearing in stressful obfuscated scenarios

[light moat]

If you die, I imagine it’s extremely to difficult to find where you were in some cases?

[regal spoke]

Black forest is just as disorienting as the Mist in many ways

[light moat]

I imagine roads are much more important, or some sort of waypoints.

[regal spoke]

We are using paths and making identification. Absolutely

Signs are a huge tool.

[light moat]

I was just about to say, it would be really cool for large intersections to have directional signs. If only there was a sign type that was an arrow.

Very immersive I imagine.

[languid root]

Pro tip: use pro tips

[regal spoke]

I was just thinking yesterday an arrow piece would be convenient. It is immersive. Have to be ever conscious of the sun and last bearing point

[light moat]

I wish there were more simple objects to kinda mark your path. Stone cairns would be a good one. I wonder if it would be beneficial to leave stumps around?

[languid root]

Fallen trees are one of them in bf

[regal spoke]

Making unique totems is worth too

[faint nebula]

I like using stone piles on the sides of paths.. though it takes a lot of stone

[light moat]

That’s really neat. Yeah, I think a cairn that costs like 5 or 10 stone would be really beneficial.

[regal spoke]

Wish we could make rune stones. Like the stones we've found irl

[languid root]

Also you can always raise ground in an ugly column with like 16 stones, and it's also very good to navigate

[pliant hatch]

Why not use a Wooden log, add beams on it to form a cross, add the hooks to those crosses and use trophies to point direction?

Like boars for meadows, troll for black forest and so on?

[regal spoke]

Solid idea

[light moat]

This would probably be asking a lot, but it would be neat if you could leave markings on trees, say with raspberries (red) or blackberries (blue) etc. kinda like little simple drawings.

[light moat]

Very smart idea!

[uncut bough]

Idk why but the first raids ever happened to my house was a bunch of greylings, while i read on internet that it should be boar or neck

Which i would actually prefer because i need them skin scraps or meat

[light moat]

Me secretly hoping for a minor update after Ashlands that adds more decorative objects 👀

[uncut bough]

You can never have too much meat, that is certain

[hybrid mica]

is skoll and hati any good?

[normal badger]

What's the key to fast throw inventory?

[hybrid mica]

I can parry

[normal badger]

seen people in hardcore drop items with a click instead of dragging them out

[regal spoke]

Ctrl

[plain bane]

Aw did they "fix" the ability to make text float off signs?

[languid root]

skoll is much better than hati imo

[glass parrot]

Can you not use both at the same time?

[languid root]

Sorry, i admit, it was just a joke. You can only use them together. And yes, they are good together, but it depends on your style of play. I like it very much and would probably marry them if they were people.

[bright rock]

Skol and hati is definitely 2 hand 2 knifes

So you play it like a knife, rouge style

[tough yacht]

this happened to me too, got absolutely destroyed in the early game. I didn't get a boar raid until after killing the elder which was strange

[glass parrot]

Oh okay thanks for clarifying

[regal spoke]

Raids run on timers and require player base structures as part of the checks. If you're out away from base you won't see raids

[faint nebula]

I get the HUNTED raid often while roaming the plains.

[regal spoke]

Is the last boss you killed the swamp boss?

[latent wraith]

The Hunt is different from the other raids, that only requires that you are in plains or mountains.

[faint nebula]

no, yagluth

[regal spoke]

I didn't know that Pegster. Ty

[uncut bough]

Yea i got this one after day 24 or sth, and it came at the worst time ever

Sure i got my weapons and armor ready but i was busy crafting, i thought i was safe so i didnt eat food

Once the raid came i did eat food but the regen wasnt enough and the swarm of greys and the brute and the annoying shaman killed me three times

[regal spoke]

I've learned to kite the pack until the cue signals end of event. Then for Forest is Moving clear shamans first.

[bright rock]

Atleast you havent gotten the ground is shaking yet

[tough yacht]

funny you say that

my group are playing rn and we literally just dealt with that

our village walls did take some beatings, an onion farm was also lost

[bright rock]

Its not that hard to deal with, if at least one of the people you play with or you can parry considtently

[tough yacht]

we just lured them outside our village walls and fought them in the open

[bright rock]

Theres only ever 2 trolls exist on the field at the same time

The event also only trigger if a troll has died in that world

So if you never killed a troll you wont get that event

[regal spoke]

This is some of the stuff we have been incorporating

#screenshots message

[faint nebula]

its funny to see a wraith buzzing around my chicken hut.

[bright rock]

“MMMM CHICKENS, i havent had some in centuries!”

[regal spoke]

Chickens: im in danger

[bright rock]

Has starred variants of draurg elite been a thing forever or i just have terrible memory?

[latent wraith]

Yes.

[warped notch]

yo folks. I'm aware this is one of those things that we only know at the time, but any idea if we gonna have to create a new world for the update? I'm investing a ton of time on this one and wouldn't really want to have to restart everything (I know we can carry stuff on our characters, but yeah, a ton of buildings and terrain stuff)

[latent wraith]

New worlds haven't been needed for updates so far and nothing indicates that it will for Ashlands.

[bright rock]

Just make sure you dont wander too close towards the southern part of the map and you will be ready for the next update when it hits

[latent wraith]

Areas a player has been near will be generated and won't get new content (except mob spawns), but other than that there won't be any problem unless something unexpected happens

[warped notch]

Tnx. Knowing that, we can always use that mod to update only certain parts of the world. Guess htat should sort it, iof there's new ores spawning and so on.

[serene talon]

3 fish caught, about idk 7 or so left to go

[unique onyx]

anybody else notice monsters are sometimes disapearing? like i shot a troll and poof

[dawn quail]

Why can I not have a divinan the couch hildir has?

[distant citrus]

Which item of Haldor is worth it the most? I've got 1.1k coins and I'm wondering whether I should get something

[pliant hatch]

Personally, I think Belt, Dvergr Circlet, fishing rod (and bait), that flesh and after that the hat.

First two are very useful, third because you can get some special fish eventually. The Yule hat is just a nice item to wear when you're at your base.

[distant citrus]

Is the Belt something you wear instead of armor or is it an 'additional' slot like a trinket?

[pliant hatch]

you loose an inventory slot from wearing it.
But it also gives you an increased weight you can carry and given the amount, that makes it a very useful item to "transport" ore, stone and / or wood stacks.

[distant citrus]

Ah I see, so it's not something you could realistically wear at all times, but it's handy once you've cleared a place out and are hauling the loot back

Does the same go for the Dvergr Circlet?

[pliant hatch]

I think it's something most players wear at all times.

Dvergr Circlet is a tool that replaces your helmet, but in return gives you the option to ditch the torches.
In other words, a great tool for dungeon / crypt / cave exploration.

[distant citrus]

Ahh okay, so it is like an accessory rather than an armor piece that it would replace, whereas the circlet does replace your helmet but is fantastic in dark areas

Thank you very much for the insightful answers! That makes the Belt an easy first choice : )

Oh wow, I love that you actually see it equipped too

[brittle sedge]

What should I prioritize with silver?

[rocky spruce]

anyone know any new servers

[merry pebble]

look into #1024264966712340510 😄

[sour pebble]

So if I turn on the building mode setting via server sliders, can I turn it off later?

[brittle flower]

So if i were to wander to a remote ashland island it would generate empty but the rest of the ashlands wouldnt?

[cosmic oak]

I didn't like the AC hit you took wearing the Dvergr Circlet so I shelved it until recently (much later in the game) when I started using it for construction and now use it day and night when building

[latent wraith]

That is the expected outcome. No need to risk it though, with ashlands being close.

[brittle flower]

Im definitely going to generate a small part so when the update drops i can easily move without any obstacles and still be able to kill enemies

[distant citrus]

That's a good one, thank you, I'll keep that in mind!

Does anyone know how to deal with Abominations? They're like bosses in their own right, atm I've got Full Bronze lvl 2 Gear, lvl 1 Iron Buckler, Troll Cape lvl 3 and Bronze Mace/Sword/Axe lvl 2.

Should I just gear up a lot more before tackling them or is it more of a... deep breath skill issue?

[brittle sedge]

I use fire arrows and kite them

[tough yacht]

me and my friend made a lox fight it yesterday. the lox won by a landslide

[distant citrus]

I've tried that but even the fire arrows seem to tickle it

[distant citrus]

Oh damn, that's a Plains late game mob though, right? This Swamp seems to be surrounded by Black Forest and Ocean

[brittle sedge]

Takes a lot of arrows yeah lol

[tough yacht]

anyone know a good way to secure a boat dock? we have 3 longships and one has been destroyed. we have a wall going around our town and mobs rarely spawn inside and then damage stuff, we built the wall specifically to prevent this happening

[maiden seal]

dodge or parry abominations then go in with an axe or sword

[tough yacht]

yeah, we did it more for fun, if you aren't shooting it then we usually dodge roll and and do slash damage

[brittle sedge]

Are silver legs worth making?

[maiden seal]

you can parry aboms with a lvl 3 bronze shield or lvl 1 iron

yes silver is good for moder and youll use root harness for plains

[distant citrus]

Oh that's good to know, thank you!

I'm currently arrived in Swamp and I've gotten 2 stacks of Iron but I'm a bit confused as to what I should be doing in terms of progression. Does anyone happen to have like a bit of a general roadmap? I seem to be a little lost

[maiden seal]

make a bark spear or mace whichever you prefer

i mean you could do a lot

[tough yacht]

after smelting the iron you open up more crafting stuff, gear up with stronger stuff to take on the bonemass

[maiden seal]

if you make frost potions you can use the deer hammer to look for silver and collect wolf pelts

[tough yacht]

i personally hate the swamp and had a lot more fun after gearing up and moving onto mountains

[tough yacht]

does that still work? i thought it was patched

[maiden seal]

i did it yesterday

[tough yacht]

maybe im remembering wrong

[tough yacht]

oh huge

[maiden seal]

when it says too hard thats when you dig not 0 and you look high up

[cosmic oak]

I've recently realized that to me Valheim is a puzzle. There's a great deal of satisfaction from figuring it out and often more than one solution. Observe, adapt, test, repeat. Each to their own but I recommend it

[maiden seal]

once i beat moder using only bonfires that was the puzzle moment for me

[distant citrus]

Thanks all! I think what might also be holding me back a bit is that I haven't built a base yet at all, just a bunch of fortified outposts, so to speak.

Maybe I should look into that and start working on fermenting/mead/cooking as well

[maiden seal]

building is satisfying

[brittle sedge]

I’ve been doing that to gear up in silver today

Found two decent veins pretty close to one another

[maiden seal]

make sure you build walls surrounding and resin torches work the same as bonfires to keep spawns away so you can expand your workbench range with torches

[distant citrus]

Torches expand your workbench range??

[maiden seal]

no the safety range

i mean yes

if you get raided and the whole red circle is spawn proofed with torches youll have a way easier time than if you didnt do anything

[distant citrus]

Ahh fair, thank you, that's a nice one

Where do people tend to build their main base/settlement? Meadows?

[maiden seal]

swamp

or plains are the safest from raids late game

[tough yacht]

how would one go about transporting a lox

are they too big to go on a boat?

[maiden seal]

harpoon i dont think you can boat them theyll die

[distant citrus]

Plains is the safest? I thought that was dangerous due to the late game mobs and deathsquitos?

[tough yacht]

so if they can't go on a boat do you just drag them through water?

w the harpoon

[maiden seal]

people like the plains because you can farm everything there

i dont know if the harpoon takes stamina or if the lox can swim aacross the ocean but that would be funny if that was the only way to do it

[dense steppe]

push him off the platform, or saddle him and ride from the platform onto the drakkar 😼 👍

[tough yacht]

so he will go on a boat?

[distant citrus]

It would be cool if you could make a briding plateau between two longboats in order to haul large cargo

[dense steppe]

@tough yacht#screenshots message 😼

@tough yachtswim in the second position of the sail, otherwise your drakkar will fall apart, and do not swim near mobs and sea serpents, otherwise he will jump out of the drakkar 🙀

[tough yacht]

oh huge, do they take damage

[maiden seal]

if you drive too fast yes

[dense steppe]

no, nothing complicated, I drive it like this all the time, and there are wolves to boot 😸

[maiden seal]

when i took a wolf on a boat it died instantly what happened

[dense steppe]

you need to tell him to stay where he is and not follow you, then he won't die 😼

[tough yacht]

when you say second position do you mean like the half sail?

[maiden seal]

oh

[dense steppe]

-1, 0, 1, 2 and 3 - 😼

[old echo]

I like to have my main base in the meadows, near the open water and near the starting spawn so I can hang the trophies and be close-ish for ability changes if I want to. Then I want sail out and find other places to settle and connect them with portals

[tough yacht]

so yeah thats half sail for 2

[dense steppe]

• 😼

[old echo]

it can get hit by fish etc and for some reason the collision kills them instantly, so says the wiki anyway

[dense steppe]

this is not true if you are not sailing at full speed and in a longship 😼

[old echo]

ah fair enough im no expert, only just getting to the swamps lol

[distant citrus]

That's also a nice one! It seems like a more peaceful base to return to

[maiden seal]

dont hate the swamp til you tried it

i made a giant tower on top of a crypt and it was so nice

[dense steppe]

but I am a well-known explorer and traveler in the world of Valheim, a trampler of sea serpents and an excellent fisherman 😹

[ripe grove]

Yeah haha for some reason crypts are the safest place to build. I always put my portal on top of a crypt

[distant citrus]

Is the inability to teleport with ores/ingots simply kind of a time sink or is it more so done to really increase the immersion? Because it feels a bit iffy to have everything be able to teleport except for the main kind of resources

[brittle sedge]

Is frostner or iron mace better to take down bone mass with?

[dense steppe]

There are a lot of trees in the swamps, they are indestructible, why not build a base on them? 😼

[old echo]

I wasnt a fan of the swamp when I first arrived there on a group server im on

[maiden seal]

swam treehouses are so cool and you can cheese boneass too

frostner better bc bonemass is undead

[azure yacht]

If you're at mountains, it's somewhat pointless to craft the iron mace

[distant citrus]

The swamp does seem really cool with the treehouses and almost village-like constructions you could make as you connect them, but I'd also imagine it to be a bit awkward.

Correct me if I'm wrong but you wouldn't really be able to smelt on platforms, nor farm, right?

[ripe grove]

I think it's so boats gets some more action over portals

[maiden seal]

you can still smelt on the ground but yeah no farminng

[dense steppe]

@ripe groveon my friend's server they built a whole town in the trees above the swamps, with hanging bridges and everything 😸

[distant citrus]

That's fair, at the end of the day I'd just wind up creating more outposts/forges at the spot, rather than go back and forth

[old echo]

@distant citrus check screenshots for my family server home base. Its me, my wife and my son

[brittle sedge]

Cheesing mountains atm. Using the stag to find silver lol

[distant citrus]

That sounds lovely! Do you happen to have a link to that one or is it the most recent one?

[maiden seal]

GL curr

[distant citrus]

Do you just tp to farms then or something akin?

[tough yacht]

if you don't mind changing the core gameplay loop, portals can be changed in the world modifiers

[maiden seal]

yeah we had a 3 farms a meadow plains and mistland

[distant citrus]

I saw something come by that people cheese around it by server hopping, dumping it in a temporary chest, like a little dimensional pocket

[maiden seal]

good for servers that dont have the settings changed

[distant citrus]

I just saw it, that looks amazing, I love the village aesthetic, feels really peaceful/efficient

[distant citrus]

That's really nice then!

[maiden seal]

they should add another ocean mob like sailing is fun but what if it wasnt

ocean gjall

[distant citrus]

Doesn't the Swamp darkness get a bit glum though? It looks a little dreary, but that could also provide for a cool ambience on the other hand

[barren widget]

Has anyone else who has been fighting queen, seen her get out of the dungeon and out to mistland?

[maiden seal]

yes its always raining thats why getting out of the base feels better

the queen never leaves the dungeon but if you are in a dungeon close to her lair you can hear her through the walls

[barren widget]

Well

I have screenshot that says othervice, we just killed her OUTSIDE of the dungeon

[old echo]

was going for a more traditional viking village look

[maiden seal]

HAHA WHAT maybe you brought her to the door that makes no ssense how did she squeeze through there

[distant citrus]

Yeah, that's what I meant, a viking settlement, reminds me of the show Vikings a fair bit

[barren widget]

We killed her in our family server and everyone else went outside other than me

[azure yacht]

That further proves my point even if it's not by 100%.

Frostner will be an improvement over most weapons in general, especially from below that tier

[barren widget]

Ibä found her outside. Yall want the screenshot?

[old echo]

I'd be lying if there wasn't a little inspiration from the show

[maiden seal]

yeah bro post that in screenshot chat

[barren widget]

Lemme figure out how first

[maiden seal]

the craziest thing that happened to me in the mistlands was i opened a skull and it was hanging over a cliff and when i hit the first soft tissue the whole brain popped

[distant citrus]

Hahaha, fair enough though, they showcase it well. I like the details, like the roundpole fences around the Kilns too, makes it seem a bit more organised too without having it all packed away

[old echo]

@dense steppe trolls always be trolling, but I have a bow and fire arrows that put them in their place

I found an island with meadows, with black forest one side, plains the other side and swamp in front

[barren widget]

I had similiar situation too

I just fell out of the skull snd didnt get anymore soft tissue

[tough yacht]

is it safe to make docks in the swamp? since the mobs swim will they just break the boat

[crystal cradle]

its def risky

[frigid gust]

Leeches don't attack boats, but most of the other things there will

[tough yacht]

nuff said i'll find somewhere nearby

our other swamp camps are just outside the swamp biomes but i was being lazy this time

[frigid gust]

It's not super risky. No more so than in the Plains or anything.

[latent wraith]

If you like me find it hard to believe that leeches, unlike all other non-passive mobs, don't attack boats - I tested it properly a while back and they do indeed ignore boats (unless you are in it, then they will attack it to get to you). I can't imagine why they ignore it, but they do.

[cosmic oak]

#screenshots message

[barren widget]

Send it already

[languid root]

but what can a simple leech make to a boat? poison it? it's not a power lich
