[nocturne wolf]

The already generated land will change?

[exotic cradle]

It will ALL break, it's been said multiple times, nothing will remain from current Ashlands.

[azure yacht]

New gen will probably force the terrain changes

[vocal rivet]

The terrain will, yes.

[azure yacht]

So even loaded border ashlands risk being removed and replaced by ocean

Inner ashlands must be safer, but at that point you're generating too much of the biome so good luck trying to get the new content

[pliant hatch]

Possibly, yes.

I've seen the same happening when Mistland was added.

Even had a map where the spawn moved to a complete other location compared to when I started playing that map.

[exotic cradle]

Nothing will be "safe" though, it's all gonna be replaced

It won't be like Mistlands whatsoever

[gleaming salmon]

how can i find haldor?

[vocal rivet]

Black forest.

[nocturne wolf]

Explore black forests until a bag appears on the map

[gleaming salmon]

already went thru 3 black forests in my starter island...

[frozen void]

yeah

there's no guarantee he's close to spawn

[final lily]

Haldor is usually a bit further out

[frozen void]

you can often find him near elder, but that's also no guarantee

[paper marsh]

he usually won't be too close to spawn. Go further out

[vocal rivet]

He only appears after 1500m

[paper marsh]

I'd say the best way is sailing around, and if you see black forest, go for a run through it. If you get just somewhat near him he'll show up on the map

[gleaming salmon]

i already beat elder and went thru the black forest in that island

thanks guys

[vocal rivet]

Try another island further out.

[frozen void]

then he's just gonna be further. I've seen maps where all 10 possible locations are near edge of the world, but that's very unlucky

[final lily]

I'd recommend sailing a circle around spawn (from approx. 1500m) and stopping at every black forest that you see. It might take an hour or two, but you'll find him

[pliant hatch]

But he doesn't have to be on your island. With his amount of spawnpoints he can be a lot further out. Even in a piece of Black Forest close to the edge of the map.

[gleaming salmon]

and can anyone tell me what's the best way to beat the swamp biome? i see there is potion to resist poison

is it hard to make? cause i got destroyed when i got there

[paper marsh]

Swamp is pretty rough yea. Poison resist potion helps a ton, and so does being careful. Always be rested, because stamina drains quick in Swamp. Just be careful of your stamina

[frozen void]

honey, thistle, coal and neck tail

[final lily]

I think moving slowly/purposefully and conserving stamina is really important for Swamp. Definitely don't go out at night, and consider making yourself Root Armor for the chest piece to keep you safe from Draugr Archers

[frozen void]

but you'll def need poison resistance

[gleaming salmon]

i see i'm going to be stuck there for a while

[paper marsh]

Making a bronze shield and learning how to parry is very powerful

Bows are strong too

[nocturne wolf]

Always be rested and bring poison and health meads.

Leave the biome at/before night

[gleaming salmon]

the spirit came after me in the ocean and broke my boat ahah

[final lily]

haha, yeah that's happened to the best of us 😂

[paper marsh]

They pretty much only spawn at night

[gleaming salmon]

i see the game as alot of content

this game with the friend group is alot of enjoying

[pliant hatch]

Don't move into the Swamp right away.
Scout along the outside first, so you know how to enter it, take enemies out as in this biome they're not only on land, but also hidden under the surface of the water.

[gleaming salmon]

ye, tomorrow i'm going to explore better

cause i jumped right away in there and fought with 10 mobs

[pliant hatch]

Glad you do.

Especially considering we just had someone being angry something (s)he wanted wasn't part of the game mechanics.

I do hope you keep enjoying it with your friends, as co-op is one of the best ways to enjoy games like these.

[uncut bough]

Guys, should i tame boar in iron age?

[nocturne wolf]

There’s no reason not to

[uncut bough]

I have a bottle neck in boar meat to convert all the abundance of carrot and neck tail into good food

And all i lack is boar meat

[exotic cradle]

Taming has no limits, you do you

[paper marsh]

If you need boar meat then yea. I usually never run low on boar meat bc I see them everywhere while in meadows

[uncut bough]

And also i am close to fighting bonemass so i am afraid that if i get boar meat farm going and then i get to mountain, i wouldnt be using the boar farm anymore

So it would be a massive waste of time

[vocal rivet]

You'll need to feed your wolves something.

[exotic cradle]

Sausages will always be a good option

[nocturne wolf]

You’d have a ton more friends though

[uncut bough]

Yea sausages is infinitely better than minced meat sauce, but i am using what is available to me firet

And i am having too many carrots and neck tail,so i convert them to minced meat sauce first

And it is at least still useful while exploring swamp and all

[nocturne wolf]

Save the carrots to feed boars if you have that many

[pliant hatch]

Personally I think having a farm to support your wolves will be a good idea.
When you have the feeling you have too much boar meat; simply stop feeding them and they won't breed either.

Even when you don't "use" them, they may give a more "life" feeling to your base. Just make sure you're having them in a pen using decent protection against bats; otherwise you'll have to tame new ones again.

[uncut bough]

I am also wondering how do i get to tame wolf if mountain biome is like kilometers away

[final lily]

Honestly, an easy source of scrap leather can be worthwhile for like, the whole game

[uncut bough]

So i have to build new base near mountain just to be worth it?

[paper marsh]

huh? It's not used for much and has so many sources

[uncut bough]

I dont think wolf can swim

Maybe i can harpoon it and drag it to my house idk

[paper marsh]

wolf can swim

[final lily]

Fenris Armor uses it. Ooze Bombs use it. I find myself scrounging for it even in mistlands

[pliant hatch]

No need to build a full scale base, unless you want to process the silver there.
And boar meat can be transported through portals, so that's making things easier as well.

[uncut bough]

No but i mean how do i get my wolf to my main base

[paper marsh]

weird. I usually end up with stacks of it from boars, crypts, and frost caves. And i usually make fenris too

[uncut bough]

The only way is sea, since they dont take portal

[final lily]

Are you playing no-portals? If you have portals on, its easy to just move back and forth between the two farms. Otherwise, simply tell your tamed wolves to follow you (once tame) off the mountain, back to your boar farm

[pliant hatch]

As soon as it's tamed it will follow you.

If you need to sail, biggest problem is to get it on the boat and having it stay there.

[final lily]

yeaaaah, i generally just toss it and regret doing so later 😂

[uncut bough]

I have portal but i want the wolves to walk around my main house, so if i need to fend off raids or anything i can employ its help

Also certainly better to have it roam swamp for me instead

[final lily]

mmm, that'll require bringing a breeding pair back with you via boat or marathon-sprint. It's a pain, but worthwhile in the end imho

[pliant hatch]

We need creature cages in this game.
Which can be loaded aboard longships only.

Would make life a lot easier.

[paper marsh]

ah so thats why heh

[pliant hatch]

But I'm sure soner or later someone comes up with a mod doing that..... 😄

[paper marsh]

I toss it often too but still end up with too much

[final lily]

Do you throw like, 30-50 ooze bombs per infested mine like me though? 😉

[uncut bough]

I need to know how to build house minimally with max comfort level

I build a big log house with hearth but comfort level is 5

[final lily]

make sure to add furniture, banners, carpets, hottub, dragon-bed, etc.

[uncut bough]

While Niels built a primitive wood house from scratch to only place a teleporter to Hildir but with Comfort level 7!

[final lily]

also, note that there is a radius for all the comfort-providing items. If your longhouse is too big, they might not overlap

[paper marsh]

nah never use ooze bombs they feel cheesy. If I did I'd prob have just enough scraps

[uncut bough]

“Niels built this in a meadow! With an inventory of WOOD!”

[timid ore]

Distance matters, too. Just like your bed being too far away from a heat source, same applies for comfort

[uncut bough]

It is not a long house, just a 2 story house

A big pain in the arse to deal when building 2nd floor, if stone floor it collapse, if wooden floor it is so flimsy the roof collapse

[final lily]

oh yeah, total cheese, make no mistake. I'm a "cowardly hardcore player" though, so I avoid confrontation and end up overly relying on those sweet, sweet little bombs

[final lily]

my friend, let me introduce you to the Iron Support Beam 🙂

[paper marsh]

hehe I'm a "Make life pain for myself" player

[final lily]

haha xD

[paper marsh]

I play with the worst settings and challenges 😭

[uncut bough]

I thought ooze bomb was good, until i throw it toward draugur and blob, then it does nothig

I am just so devastated

Maybe i will use it to throw at fulings and Lox instead, so at least i can get the use out of the remaining 5 bomb

[paper marsh]

Yea I'd imagine them to be immune to poison

[final lily]

oh yeah - most things in the swamp are immune to Poison. The Ooze Bombs really start to shine once you're in the mountains, plains, and mistlands, however

[paper marsh]

It's very strong in mountain caves

[uncut bough]

Gotta roleplay grenadier to since it is bomb

[final lily]

sooooo 💪 in frost cave! +1 SoftSnail

honestly great against wolves too

[uncut bough]

Softsnail sounds like a type of food that i can just slurp down like mussels or sth

Like soft shell crab, soft shell crawfish

[final lily]

delicious!

The bombs are particularly good in dungeons, as they don't deal damage to doors/barriers, but will hurt anything standing behind the door/barrier. You can usually clear a full room before ever opening it up. So very, very clutch in the mistlands, imho. I find Bilebombs to be incredible in The Queen fight, too

[paper marsh]

I didn't even choose this name 😔

[uncut bough]

Grabbing a puke bomb

[pliant hatch]

grmbl. Got nearly killed by a wraith and an abomination at the same spot I got killed yesterday.
Glad I had my food up and enough health and stamina potions to make it out. Even managed to kill that Wraith (with the help of a Greydwarf brute)

[paper marsh]

I wish bukeberry puke did damage to enemies

[uncut bough]

On throw: lure zombies into the bomb- wait wrong game

Yea imma test the bombs tmr when i fight some Lox or fulings

Or fulings brute, idk, gotta test to know it

[final lily]

I don't think they'll help much against Lox, but you'll get good value against Fulings for sure

[hollow crag]

Wdym ooze bombs are crazy good

[uncut bough]

Probably wrong usage of bomb, i will retest it tmr

[hollow crag]

They are like the perfect thing to use in dungeons, 1 ooze bombs takes out all the uvs

[final lily]

not against poison immunity though, as we discussed 😉

[hollow crag]

They are like insanely valuable in frost cave

[hollow crag]

Well duh, this is saying like frost arrows are bad cuz it bad against wraiths

[pliant hatch]

Going to be fun, 53 fire arrows and a bow at 32% durability to fight an abomination.....

[final lily]

haha, just that we already hashed this out over the past five minutes - in great detail

[paper marsh]

I love spears in frost caves. One shots wolfy bois even on Very Hard

Ulvs

[final lily]

Snail you are so brave...

I just throw ooze bomb and run my cowardly butt back to the entrance

[hollow crag]

I usually just use frost arrows

They give the slow effect even if it's not one shot

[final lily]

you guys are all underestimating the value of running away...

can't kill me if you can't catch me!

[hollow crag]

I rather kill them

[paper marsh]

Yea arrows are OP in like 99% of scenarios

I banned bows and atgeir and bombs in this run

[hollow crag]

How are you fighting drakes and gjall?

[final lily]

voilence is seldom the answer. We're all in this purgatory because we died in the course of committing greavous violence. Has the afterlife taught you nothing?

[hollow crag]

Oh wait there's the cross bow

[final lily]

spear vs gjall = OP 😉

[hollow crag]

Hmm throw spear into water:

[final lily]

nono, get underneath them first and throw it straight up into their belly

NOT that i'm condoning violence here. In theory, however...

[hollow crag]

Sometimes they fly on top of the waters

[final lily]

hide behind a rock and they'll come looking for you

[hollow crag]

Anyways gjall is the worst

[odd helm]

Do what I do and sic them against an unsuspecting dvergr group

[final lily]

agreeeeeeed. So very unfriendly

[hollow crag]

I hate to fight it even with arrows

[uncut bough]

Gjall is half-life combine dropship

[final lily]

funny that's actually my preferred strat as well. Two birds with one stone, and NO violence!

[odd helm]

Not from us, anyway~

[final lily]

we cannot control the actions of others, unfortunately...

[hollow crag]

I remember trying this on one of my runs and it didn't work cuz the gjall just runs away whenever I get close to the outpost

[final lily]

Yuuki try saying mean things about the Gjall before committing to the pull. It'll piss it off enough that It should continue the chase

all joking aside - the trick is really just to be slow and patient when you run away. If you bait it into thinking that it has a chance to kill you, it should commit

[hollow crag]

I see

[light moat]

Just did my first sealed tower, super interesting place! Lots of fun.

[hollow crag]

Too bad we can't build inside it

[light moat]

I didn’t even try lol. Probably to prevent cheesing the tower.

[hollow crag]

I like how we can get chickens from it easily before the 5th boss

[light moat]

That was my main reason for doing it- and for the experience of course.

The amount of iron that I got was surprising and welcoming!

[hollow crag]

I remember doing sealed towers, we had 3 people in total, I was wearing fernis set they had like iron armour and we cheese it anyway by spamming bonemass ability

[light moat]

Yeah, Bonemass power is pretty powerful lol

[hollow crag]

The boss fight was fun tho, one person parry and we go in

[light moat]

I was shocked when the shaman was basically phase two.

Two unique trophies though, good stuff!

[hollow crag]

Yep

[light moat]

Ashlands spoiler kinda || I wonder if the fortresses will function similar to the towers, like an overworked dungeon.||

[hollow crag]

Maybe

Also it be nice to get more summoning magic

And new tameables

[uncut bough]

Man lox meat is so good to have in swamp tier

[light moat]

Oooh that reminds me. It would be really. It would be really cool if we could make those straw piles that covered the traps in the sealed tower. Maybe out of barley.

[uncut bough]

I hunted 7 of em, and i almost crap myself whenever i do that

Very exillirating experience

[light moat]

Sounds like you’re making great progress!

[final lily]

I like to bring a stonecutter with me in the planes. I'll place a few stone walls and just hop back and forth over them as I kite Lox.

they are big dum-dums

[pliant hatch]

I'm starting to wonder if this game just hates players.

Took me 2 hours to find turnip seeds. Eventually found 2 plants, so was quite happy with 6 seeds.
Need to flee from a wraith and abomination, returned at daytime and ran into a 3rd turnip flower 10 meters or so in the swamp.....

[final lily]

oh yeah, 100%

[uncut bough]

This game wants player to suffer

[paper marsh]

Spear

Might get a crossbow and magic still bc they’re fun

[light moat]

What are all the limitations/modifiers in your playthrough again?

[paper marsh]

Uhh pretty much I have two runs going rn. On all runs I’ve been banning bow, atgeir, bombs, and just a general ban for overly cheesing (like earth walls to protect base, hitting an enemy repeatedly from somewhere they can’t hit me, etc.)

And then I have a multiplayer run rn with Very Hard Hardcore Max Raids 0.5 Resources No Map No Portals

And a solo run that’s very hard, increased raids, permadeath

[final lily]

oooooh, Snail plays hero-mode hardcore? how far in are you?

[paper marsh]

Both runs are like right around killing Moder

Only been playing the multiplayer one lately tho. My first time doing no map and no portals it feels so different

[final lily]

but soooooo good

[light moat]

That’s Germs server, yeah?

[paper marsh]

Pretty good indeed

I’ve never had skills this high, and I haven’t even beat Moder. No map no portals prolong things a lot and hardcore mode stops me from dying.

Got run and spears at around 90

[final lily]

yessir - it feels like the way the game was intended to be played, imho

I can't go back to normal...

[light moat]

That does sound like a lot of fun honestly

[regal spoke]

Have you not tried no-map no-portal?

[light moat]

Not yet, want to get a regular playthrough in, I’ve beaten the game before- but not since mistlands was added.

Definitely want to try it though.

[regal spoke]

Heck yea. I'd suggest doing the run on normal. Max pain on sliders is another level of spice

[light moat]

Yeah I’d probably leave the difficulty slider to standard, I’m not a huge fan of simple difficulty sliders generally.

No portal seems especially interesting

[regal spoke]

Gotta "carry the job" from one phase to the other 😉

[paper marsh]

I'd say Valheim is generally a game about prep, but with decent skill you can skip most the prepwork

With no map (and especially, no portals) you have to do so much prep work or it's gonna be BAD. Prepare for everything once you set out on a journey

Funny thing too with No Map No Portals is that if you get lost and die - it's kinda like hardcore because you're not finding that tombstone again

[paper marsh]

what weapons do you like to run? Another fun "modifier" could be using weapons out of your norm

[final lily]

I think its crazy that Hildir allows herself to get robbed not once but thrice, whereas Haldor is a total G

[paper marsh]

she's a careless gal

[final lily]

gonna have to get her some pepper spray, or... wait for it... some 'mace' 😂

the puns are real!

[hollow crag]

You should try drawing your own map on paper

It be so cool to do it like it would be in real life

[paper marsh]

I have been. It's very useful and fun

Granted my abilities are about the level of a 3rd grader

[final lily]

i like the cartography table 'no-map' mod when i play immersive

such that interacting with cart table will show a no-live-info-map

[hollow crag]

When you beat the game in no map compare your map to the actual map

[paper marsh]

definitely will be fun to turn the map for the world on one day when in the future when we're done with this world

I won't be doing extreme mapping tho, just mapping the areas near where I live and paths to important areas

[pure atlas]

where the feathers is at

[final lily]

birds

[paper marsh]

Gotta chop down trees for a few feathers or hunt a bunch of birds for a bunch of feathers

[rain flare]

Plains is a good place to work with the birds

Zap them with wooden arrows 🥰

[light moat]

Pretty much anything except atgeirs lol but clubs are probably my favorite.

[hollow crag]

Anyone ever seen ruined wood buildings underwater?

[rain flare]

Yup

Mostly in the swamp.

[hollow crag]

I just saw one of them

[hollow crag]

Am building an archery training camp in bone mass place, am going to farm my archery skill the heck out of bonemass

Would 1k wood arrows with fine wood bow level 4 kill it?

[marble mantle]

if your gonna try and kill it with arrows id stock some hundred or two frost arrows and have a backup plan for the chance he spawns in your archery post

[lunar sapphire]

archery training, incentive on keeping bonemass alive 😛

[hollow crag]

Yea I intend to keep him alive till I get level 100, but I also have frost arrows

[marble mantle]

yeah only if you intend on killing him with arrows if you can do it melee id just fire every shot you got i doubt he will die

bastard eats arrows for breakfast

[hollow crag]

Also on this run I got super lucky and found a mistland outpost with only 1 npc in it, it was like a small island and I got cooking station level 3 so I can get wolf skewers before bonemass

And I found this outpost on my way to bonemass

[marble mantle]

having used bow and arrow strats on bonemass in very hard about 400-500 frost arrows barely did the job

[hollow crag]

It's the first time I found mistland actually close

[marble mantle]

shouldnt be hard to train up that skill fo sho

[hollow crag]

Like without having to sail 30 mins

[hollow crag]

Are you in coop?

[fair cairn]

that seems too high though
iv enver sued that many frost arrows on bonemass before

[hollow crag]

I saw someone used like 84 frost arrows in solo and killed it

[fair cairn]

oh yea bosses scale with players

[marble mantle]

was a solo run with finewood bow partially out of lazyness, mind you very hard diff

[fair cairn]

that also makes sense

[hollow crag]

I played very hard before and I didn't realise mobs hp increase?

[marble mantle]

player damage decreases iirc

[fair cairn]

they do and you damage decreases

[hollow crag]

I see

[fair cairn]

they get higher damage, you get lower damage and i think they have more HP? but im not 100% sure on that

[marble mantle]

I very well could have been shooting him slow allowing regen not 100% sure was a few months back

[turbid parrot]

yo, whats this game about it looks super cool

[hollow crag]

I was playing very hard in coop we were still in the black Forrest and I was easily killing stuffs with the club like normal difficulty so

[marble mantle]

its not a problem until enemies are semi threatening, man the swamp was a nightmare i remember getting one shot by a slime because the poison was so fuckin long lasting

[marble mantle]

Vikings doin viking things, building system is pretty fun, good survival aspects actual reason to farm resources. Bosses are neat not to bad

[near furnace]

2 star draugr archers still haunt my dreams

[turbid parrot]

how about the exsploing aspect? and is their an like ending or semi ending kind like the ender dragon in mc

[hollow crag]

Also I for some reason want to go to the mistland and when I was landing I got killed by gjall so me and one other coop mate went into our main and fought gjall in max difficulty it was tuff

[marble mantle]

it aint fuckin funny to still losing more than half your hp to enemies when your gear is a biome ahead

[marble mantle]

i quit after bonemass, was a bit to much for me

[hollow crag]

Ngl mountain for me in any difficulty is easier than swamp

[marble mantle]

Very solid, but the sailing sections can take a long time so get used to seeing blue while fighting against the wind. other than that the exploration is pretty fun esspecially coop

[turbid parrot]

how does coop work?

[marble mantle]

current run i built a base in the mountains before making iron gear, mountains pretty tame. Hell i didnt even bother upgrading i killed moder immediatly after bonemass lmao.

[hollow crag]

Everything thing in the mountains has like less hp than everything in the swamp too wolfs, drakes, uvs are super low on hp

[marble mantle]

Same as any other open world survival game. You can progress individually or you can progress together.

[marble mantle]

I still hate how everything that counters the swamp is obtained in the mountains

[hollow crag]

Ngl I like that make it harder

And more rewarding when you got it

[marble mantle]

just strange to me to have silver tier weapons do spirit damage which is meaningless against nearly everything but undead, undead that really only spawned in the swamp

[hollow crag]

The 5th boss ig

[fair cairn]

many people still go back to the swamp after for iron for building projects

[marble mantle]

yeah which i mean fair enough, that and plains tier heavy armor.

[fair cairn]

arent the bugs immune to spirit? i guess the only usefull weapons in mistlands from mountains is frostner and many draugr fang?

[marble mantle]

frostner slow is so good that i dont think i would replace it

[fair cairn]

oh that also needs iron huh

[hollow crag]

Mistland is the 6th

I meant ygaluth or whatever how to spell it

[fair cairn]

whoops
forgot about the entire meadows biome

[fair cairn]

yagluth
close enough?
never fought him

[marble mantle]

in fairness you could naked fist fight eikthyr and win pretty comfortably

[hollow crag]

Fist fight takes forever

[subtle wyvern]

Hi all, is there a way to find public serv recently created?

[marble mantle]

Didnt mean to spoil nothin but yeah iron is the one resource that seems to never be in high enough quantity

[hollow crag]

I did naked fight him in coop mode with the club tho, it was in like max difficulty coop run too, right after I lost my stuff in mistland due to gjall 💀

[fair cairn]

well not a spoiler i just forgot that armor needs iron
(ive only once gotten to plains and that was before mistlands)

[hollow crag]

Somehow everytime when things start going well in that coop world everyone wants to quit tho

[marble mantle]

wanna talk about taking forever, i did moder in iron gear with iron weapons and a finewood bow earlier today and that fight lasted almost 40 minutes

[hollow crag]

And we didn't continue that world

[marble mantle]

things sped up quite a bit when i realized poison arrows where more effective than fire despite his weakness

[hollow crag]

Maybe get some needle arrows as well

[fair cairn]

we barely started in the mountains and my freind is now kinda just too busy and so i might just be playing the world alone from that point on

[hollow crag]

Yea

[fair cairn]

moder is a she
just a heads up

[marble mantle]

eh i aint gonna argue a viking dragons gender still was a pain but nowhere near as bad as farming silver gear just to throw it out the moment i got flax going

[fair cairn]

well no arguments
just Moder means mother in a swedish or something
idk
plus runes around tell me that moder is a she cause the male drakes work for a bigger stronger female drake

[marble mantle]

its just habit for me to attach he him pronouns to video game characters altho im well aware in this case just habit that wont kick

esp animals / creatures not so much humans

[near furnace]

Moder means mum / mommy in swedish yes

alot of things have swedish names ingame

[fair cairn]

the animals in this game are all slimes in different forms xd

[merry pebble]

You can look in #1024264966712340510 😄

[marble mantle]

Nah the wolves i name after my friends then send to die in boss fights have more meaning

[fair cairn]

they are still slimes for the simple fact that they reproduce by making tiny copies of themselfs

[marble mantle]

You sir got a strange definition of slimes

[fair cairn]

you may need 2 but each of them get "pregnant" and pop out tiny 100% identical coppies

[marble mantle]

there must be some difference considering some of them have star ratings which changes up there bodies n such

im not sure if a 0 star and 2 star can make a 1 star tho

[fair cairn]

thats the thing!
a 1 star and a 2 star have a 50/50 if its a 1 star or 2 star!
that just cements what im saying more!

[marble mantle]

Valid

[obsidian locust]

Hello! Is it realistic that only 1 seeker soldier trophy gives after 100-200 battles? His chance to roll is unrealistically low.

Maybe you have a hint as to where it would be better to give? * or ** star soldiers give better?

[marble mantle]

wiki states its a 5% drop chance from normal seeker soldiers just hella unlucky

[nocturne wolf]

Stars dont affect trophy chance

[merry pebble]

Depends on a creature i believe.

[nocturne wolf]

Which creatures?

Or do you mean that different creatures have different drop chances

[fair cairn]

different creatures have different drop chances yes

[nocturne wolf]

I know, I thought Asatru meant some creatures have a drop chance affected by stars.

[merry pebble]

Indeed i meant that but i was wrong 😄

[potent adder]

why are the default keys now different from before? the middle button becomes blocking, while the right button becomes special attk.

is this intentional or just a bug?

[merry pebble]

I have seen a few people saying that they have it that way but i still have it RMB block and MMB secondary attack, and i have it like that for 3 years 🤔

[halcyon thistle]

my friend is moving to japan on early april, we are playing on a new world... he's not gonna be able to play for a while since he can't take his pc with him

if Ashlands drops before then we could play it for a bit on PTB, if not, I'll show him everything on a call or something

should be cool anyway

[near furnace]

it doesn't? 🤔

middle mouse is special attack

[forest hinge]

this happened to me as well when i reinstalled windows and had to install the game again

[near furnace]

validate game files

remove old mods

[forest hinge]

validating might have worked i just changed them, i dont use any mods tho

[near furnace]

tho if you had valheim looong time ago. and you still get this issue. there might be a old issue lingering. but I can explain how to deal with that one if it's the case

ever used mods?

[forest hinge]

never

[tepid prawn]

😍 no mod crew represent 🙂 gives you less problems

I'm on my 8th unmodded playthrough ^^

[forest hinge]

yeah i just love based valheim

i dont even know what playthrough im on, lost track

[hollow crag]

Omg my wooden arrows are almost doing just a little dmg over bone mass

[halcyon thistle]

there's wooden and then fire and flint (1st biome)
then bronze (2nd biome)
then iron (3rd biome, where bonemass is at)

you have at least 4 options better than what you're using right now

not that higher pierce is gonna do anything against it

[uncut bough]

Boy i love how me trying to sail the world but then accidentally ended up in plains

[potent adder]

it didn't happen to me, but several of my friends newly buying the game had this problem, and they were less likely to use mods

[halcyon thistle]

if you experiment on him a bit you can see that blunt damage is the only damage that you can deal at that point that he's not resistant to

[hollow crag]

Dont worry i prepared like 800 arrows

Actually I had 1.2k

[near furnace]

well. ask them to click "reset controls" in the settings menu

[forest hinge]

thats something i also didnt do, oops

that pfp just keeps reminding me of the starcraft cat meme

[uncut bough]

Whoever made root armor, totally goated devs. Thanks to this accidental visit to plains doesnt end up in mosquito sucking my muscle and fat dry anymore

From the menace of plains into 10 dmg per hit, just incredible

[hollow crag]

After like 300 wood arrows bonemass hp is like 70% now

[hollow crag]

Yea root armour pretty good

[merry pebble]

He Is very resistant to pierce iirc, so it makes sense that the weakest arrows don't do much 😄

[hollow crag]

Yea I know which is why I am surprised that I can even actually deal dmg to it

[merry pebble]

You certainly can 😄 but you will be there for quite some time

[hollow crag]

I am in this watch tower I built that he doesn't even Angro on me

[hollow crag]

Well my goal is my archery skill training which is why I choose bonemass for my target

[merry pebble]

In that case Its quite nice practice target 😃

[hollow crag]

Killing him with wood arrows and saving my frost arrows would just be a bonus

[hollow crag]

Bonemass actually runs out of hp before all my arrows are gone

Am going to wait for it to regen a little and use my last 100 wood arrow

[toxic rose]

How many bows you spent?)

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[hollow crag]

Well i just used one fine wood bow but i made 1.2k arrows the wooden one for it

[toxic rose]

And never repairs during battle?

[hollow crag]

I do i have a work bench next to me

I built an watch tower close to bonemass summon, and he doesnt get angro on me

So i can repair and teleport back to base whenever

I actually never tried this before i thought bonemass will destroy all my stairs and what not, but it seemed to be compelety chill in fact it did not move a singe spot during the entire fight

[toxic rose]

Stay on skull also chill.

[merry pebble]

can poison you tho 😄

[toxic rose]

Only if you do melee attacks, otherwise just build few meters up

[merry pebble]

if you are just on the skull which you implied he can still poison you even when you only shoot arrows, but yeah you can build a bit up

[hollow crag]

I also thought maybe at night wraiths will attack me but so far its super chill

[final lily]

trying building stone over top a skeleton spawner in the swamp/mountains. Put a few walls around for safety and chill inside. The skeletons will spawn in the floor and not move, allowing you to stand right in their face and just spam left-click (don't actually draw the bow). I can take a hardcore character from 0 to 100 bow skill in less than 2-hours doing this 😉

[hollow crag]

Even though this archery training been going super well, my bow skill is still so low, i was 22 when i started, and after 1.2k+ arrows its only level 48

[final lily]

it takes 6k arrows to hit 100 doing this, so get chopping that wood 😂:

actually firing thhem off is super fast though

[hollow crag]

damn

[toxic rose]

And... One death and you have level 95...)

[final lily]

whaaat? no no no, one death and you're back to zero. Trainers are for hardcore

that's the whole reason I set them up, to be honest.. I probably wouldn't bother on a normal playthrough

[hollow crag]

Yea i am going to chop trees while i wait for bonemass hp to go back up

[final lily]

I think you need to draw your bow with bonemass though. This slows you down soooo much

with thhe method I described, you can spam shots out like "pew pew pew" and level-up at an alarmingly fast rate

if you're in melee range of the target, and the target can't hit you back, you can just machine-gun fire those arrows

[toxic rose]

Greydwarf spawner looks like better for this

[final lily]

i think skeleton spawner is best tbh

as the skeletons will clip into the stone, revealing half their bodies (as a target) but not be able to move or attack

[hollow crag]

Greydwarf spawner would give you tons of wood and stone in the process tho

[plain bane]

Does storage usage contribute to FPS drop? I've noticed fps dipping further and further down at my warehouse over time, but I've not done much here aside from store more items.

[unborn acorn]

Where do I find swamps?

[opal prairie]

Keep on sailing, if you really want to find a swamp you can also look up your seed map.

[toxic rose]

If you very lucky then on starting island. Otherwise sail until to find

[plain bane]

"A certain distance away from spawn." Just keep making bigger and bigger circles away from your home island in a boat and you'll bump into one eventually.

They're almost always on a coast so you have that.

[hollow crag]

Just explore your starter island, its 50/50 chance tbh

But swamp is pretty easy to find if you sail, but if there's one that you can walk into and dont need sailing it be very coniventent to just transport stuff

[latent wraith]

Swamps start 2000 metres from the centre of the world, which is about 1/5 of the distance to the edge.

[faint pond]

We died because we drunk

[uncut bough]

true viking gameplay

[rain flare]

I found a swamp, mountain with fish lake, and plains biome on my starter island 🥰

You can get really lucky sometimes

[uncut bough]

the seed, hand it over

[safe flower]

Yea I’ve had mistlands on starter before

[hollow crag]

Fish lake is super rare i heard

Thats crazy

[uncut bough]

is wraith any dangerous with root armor lvl 3 and iron mace and banded shield?

swamp is usually so dark that sometimes i ended up overstaying until night time and then i happen to find myself in the middle of a swamp so i just drink potion and dash home

[plush umbra]

whats that?

[toxic rose]

Wraith isn't dangerous even if you naked. Because any your attack knock back him enough for dodging attack.

[uncut bough]

oh ok, i shouldnt be too scared of wraith then

[hollow crag]

one of them is pretty weak

[uncut bough]

i heard people drummed up the danger of wraith that somehow even me being able to take on Fulings still scared of wraith

[hollow crag]

but if you get like a swarm of wraiths its really annoying

[uncut bough]

just annoying and not straight up impossible to fight right

[toxic rose]

Enemy team play always evil.

[hollow crag]

Its immune to frost and very resistant to piercing

[uncut bough]

hell nah i only have fire arrow

[hollow crag]

Fire arrows is pretty decent on it

I remember fighting it with frost and needle arrows back then, and was like why wasnt it taking damage

[lyric olive]

I really hate the scaling of this game. Its the first thing I actively dislike. I go through a biome, mine everything all this work for an extra 6 damage on a weapon? Are you kidding me

To make the upgrade meaningful I have to max the weapon as well

[vocal rivet]

You never need to max anything in this game. All bosses are scaled to be do-able in level 1 gear of that tier.

[lyric olive]

I know but I like it because it makes it significantly easier

[vocal rivet]

That's a choice though. Offset that with the resource requirements.

[lyric olive]

Or they could just make the scaling higher

[vocal rivet]

Well, that's what the world modifiers are for.

Stick it onto x2 and you'll be fine.

[lyric olive]

Nah I want to play vanilla but it's just my opinion

[vocal rivet]

That's still vanilla.

[azure yacht]

It never ceases to amaze me how people decide to do something and then complain about said decisions...

Like, it's on you... It's 100% on you.

[lyric olive]

They could just make the upgrades or base weapon changes better. I mean 6 damage is extremely low for going from one class to the next

[azure yacht]

Then don't upgrade if you dislike it

[lyric olive]

Even the crystal battle axe scaling is not that good

[vocal rivet]

It's absolutely fine for most people. So for people it's not fine, they've introduced the world modifiers.

As Rianu says, you have the ability to make life easier for yourself (and there's no shame in that, not everyone enjoys the grind).

[lyric olive]

Think you're missing the point.

[brittle mist]

Hiii all

[vocal rivet]

No, I think you have that backwards. You're literally asking for solutions that already exist.

[lyric olive]

No I'm not, I'm asking for changes to the game.

So it's more worth it to upgrade.

[odd helm]

Simmer down y'all

[brittle mist]

I am stuck between shield nd spear vs shield and knife/bare fists

[vocal rivet]

We're not even arguing, it's all chill.

[toxic rose]

So, you want when you in stone age you deal zero damage to troll. In bronze age as it right now and in iron age one shot him?

[brittle mist]

Which one is better

[merry pebble]

depends on what you like 😄

[lyric olive]

No I'm talking about silver, that's what I'm on, and it's incredibly terrible. What is even worth making with this?

[azure yacht]

For what? It's your choice to upgrade them...

You shouldn't feel force to do them because the upgrades give +20 dmg per level

[brittle mist]

Spear does insta kill to necks when parried.😅

[merry pebble]

well lots of things do that tbh 😄

[lyric olive]

How about 10 instead of 6, anything thats not 6

[azure yacht]

They're like skills, a nice-to-have, not the most absolutely essential thing you should raise bc otherwise you're hardlocked

[vocal rivet]

Most of the higher tier capes, The draugr fang. Frostner. Many things.

[brittle mist]

Ok thanks..i will keep spear combl md try bow one

[lyric olive]

I haven't seen frostner yet but yes the bow is on our list to get with silver

[toxic rose]

Silver weapon have only one problem, spirit damage. For enemies which immune, it's look like small damage increase, for other it's stronger than black metal weapons

[merry pebble]

you need stuff from trader for frostner

[vocal rivet]

Honetly, I haven't done the maths, but I think silver is the least required ore in the game, so it's not a problem it's trickier to mine.

[azure yacht]

For others that would still be too low and ask for a raise again, same way as you are.

So they should increase it again? And when someone asks again they should increase it again? It wouldn't do anything on the long term...

[lyric olive]

I got a full long boat of silver ore

[vocal rivet]

Then you should be fine.

[brittle mist]

Which is ur fav weapin in stone age??

[lyric olive]

We found 4 deposits near each other twice, got quite lucky

[toxic rose]

No, just because you could mine ~90 in 5 minutes it's look like this.

[lyric olive]

You're good at complaining, more than me

[vocal rivet]

I don't recall Rianu complaining about anything in the game for a while, to be honest.

[azure yacht]

What complaint?

[lyric olive]

You're making assumptions based on nothing.

[vocal rivet]

I don't think assuming that some people prefer the grind and some don't is unreasonable. Or that some people want OP weapons and others don't.

[lyric olive]

If they changed the damage values they'd have to change all the scaling throughout the game. They're not going to do it, it's too much work

[brittle mist]

How do i get a boat? How to unlock it?

[azure yacht]

I'm making assumptions based on what I've seen plenty of times across multiple game fan bases.

There will always be those that don't find it enough

[vocal rivet]

Isn't that what you're asking for though?

[merry pebble]

for the first thing you can sail on you need wood, resin and leather scraps

[lyric olive]

I'm not asking, I said I hate the scaling not I expect them to change it. I wanted cyberpunk to be more than just about Johnny but it never was.

[merry pebble]

... #valheim-chat message

[lyric olive]

I like everything about valheim so far except weapon scaling, it's not exactly a big dislike

[azure yacht]

That sounds like "asking", if you ask me

[brittle mist]

I have the raft but the second boat...i didnt find any recipee

[vocal rivet]

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume a certain amount of refining of balance across the board will happen closer to 1.0

[toxic rose]

Touch bronze nails

[merry pebble]

you need bronze nails for that

[brittle mist]

Owh okay thanks

[azure yacht]

You have solutions, use them. Either increase resource drops or simply don't upgrade gear, it's one of the most optional things to do anyway

[opal prairie]

I like the scaling, the weapons for the biome you get them in means the enemies will still be challenging but not overtly so.
You can do the next biome with the weapons from the previous biome but the mobs go down easier with the weapons you get in the current biome you are in.
changing the scaling to higher numbers would trivialize the monsters in the current biome.

[vocal rivet]

I want an 'ALSO THIS' reaction.

[merry pebble]

oh that would be good, i may put it in suggestions 😄

[vocal rivet]

I would, but, y'know.

[merry pebble]

yeah 😄

[vocal rivet]

From what I've heard from my sources, i've not missed much.

[merry pebble]

indeed you havent, i have recently started looking in there and now i get why you said that its hapier life not being able to see them 😄

[opal prairie]

I would like that you could upgrade weapons from previous biomes with materials from the next biome.
For example you really like the frostner and want to keep using it trough plains, mistlands and ashlands you can upgrade the frostner with blackmetal, refined eitr and so on.
The same cost as a new weapon from said biome would be though, so it isn't cheaper than the new weapons.

[light moat]

Just hatched my first couple eggs, the chickens are very cozy and really add a lot of life to base building!

Really liking a lot of the content they’ve added since release, lots of great stuff.

[exotic cradle]

Yesssh I have mine just waddling around freely

[light moat]

That’s so cool! I’ll get there someday lol. I almost feel bad that I’ll be butchering them eventually 😅

[river pebble]

hello

[light moat]

I think the issue with that is that it takes away from encouraging players to try out and use different weapons.

[uncut bough]

first time imma go fight boneass

it has 2 sunken crypt in that location as well so maybe i will mine it first and load onto ship before fighting

[light moat]

Good luck! Don’t forget your poison resist meads!

[uncut bough]

oh wait oh shi i forgot to craft poison resist potion

[lusty crescent]

I consider frostner more like a weapon derivative than a main weapon type, like spears(where you can a direct upgrade). Frostner is like a unique weapon and it would be cool to have it viable until endgame

[uncut bough]

i used to have 18 of them but then i brought it all to my friend's server

[lusty crescent]

Bonemass?😭

[uncut bough]

yes

[lusty crescent]

Very easy with two people

Make sure you got a buddy

[uncut bough]

i am going solo

[lusty crescent]

It's joever

Stay to his back if you can

His attacks are easy to roll through

[opal prairie]

Yes and no, I'd try different weapons just to see what it does and maybe I like it more than the weapon I've been using, if not I'd at least have a weapon to fall back on and that I know the mechanics of since I've been using it for a while.
I see people getting stuck on a weapon though and not change it even if another weapon would be "better".

[lusty crescent]

Like krom
Sorry but I'm never giving that up

Maybe they'll add something in deep north to boost old biome weapons to make them viable, but only certain special ones, not the ones that get direct upgrades(like iron---blackmetal)

[light moat]

That would be interesting, at least for the ‘unique’ weapons like you mentioned. Little off topic, but there’s a feature in a game called Starbound where you can upgrade legendary weapons you find throughout the game and upgrade them to end-game tier. Kinda neat!

However, I also understand letting a weapon phase out, there comes a time when it’s time to hang up trusty Frostner and dabble around with some others. Frostner is my absolute favorite weapon though haha.

[opal prairie]

Maybe not have them on par with the current biome's weapons but at least a viable alternative, close to them but not as good.

[teal python]

Or make upgrading them more expensive than making the current biome’s stuff

[half dragon]

or make it so you have to upgrade them with new biome materials to make them as good

[teal python]

Indeed

[vocal rivet]

I will never understand the attachment to old, outdated gear when each new biome provides new unique and more powerful gear.

[lusty crescent]

Rule of cool my friend
A very powerful law

[near furnace]

I mean people can use there deer hide cape the entire game

[light moat]

Root armor + deer hide cape looks pretty good, that was my setup for the swamp

[vocal rivet]

Didn't mean to suggest they couldn't or shouldn't.

[uncut bough]

it feels good to recycle old armor and weapons to Obliterator and get blessed by Thor himself

especially the 300 beech seeds, no one need that

[mint wind]

im looking for a group to play with ..does anyone have a spot for a beginner? 😄

[lusty crescent]

It also looks pretty cool

[lusty crescent]

#1024264966712340510

That's the general place to ask or look for one

[mint wind]

i already reacted to some.. i just wanna let you know

[lusty crescent]

I see

[mint wind]

maybe there are not looking in there idk:D

[light moat]

I love all my beech seeds, I’d never obliterate them lol

[lusty crescent]

Maybe
But those most interested In a buddy would look there

[solid knoll]

Having trouble catching fish, we sat out in the ocean for a while here and there but only caught one fish. We used regular bait and mossy bait. What do we do do

[fair cairn]

have more stamina

also
regular bait is mostly used in meadows and blackforest for perch and pike

[opal prairie]

You can see the fish swimming around, sail a bit and look for school or groupings of fish, check near the shore.
Make sure you have eaten the best stamina foods you can get your hands on.
If you are fishing by boot once you hooked a fish you can sail closer and reel in.
From shore you can run backwards and get the fish towed on land and reel in like that or go and pick it up.

[solid knoll]

The issue we are having is no bites, we find the big schools of ocean fish but they aren’t biting. How does stamina affect this?

[fair cairn]

stamina to reel them in

[opal prairie]

Are you in the meadows when trying to fish?

[solid knoll]

Deep ocean

[fair cairn]

what fish are you trying to catch?
only pike and perch bite on plain old/normal bait

[toxic rose]

Which bait you used?

[opal prairie]

Go back to the meadows. Regular bait is for meadow fish.

[solid knoll]

Mossy bait, tried to catch the big red and blue fish, puffer fish in the ocean on a boat

[fair cairn]

i think mossy is only for troll fish. isnt it?

[opal prairie]

Mossy bait is for black forest fish, found around the shore of black forest biome.

[solid knoll]

How do we acquire other kinds of bait?

[fair cairn]

male them from trophies

[opal prairie]

Trophies and regular bait in the cauldron.

[solid knoll]

Do I have to upgrade cauldron?

[fair cairn]

swamp abom has a trophy used for bait

[opal prairie]

You'll unlock the recipes when you get the trophies.

[solid knoll]

Okay I think this helped, thanks

[fair cairn]

mountain has 2 different baits iirc

[toxic rose]

Serpent trophy sends greetings from the seabed...

[teal python]

If you aren’t concerned about the hat, do we need to bother with catching all the types of fish?

[uncut bough]

no

[toxic rose]

No, just for fun. You need only mistland fish for unique dish

[uncut bough]

well maybe for self satisfaction then sure, but that applies to anything in the game. If you like it, you do it

otherwise, it has 2 purpose, cooking with fish, or hat

[faint pond]

Valheim 7 Hours

[rapid bison]

Did you get around to punching that deer God to death yet?

[faint pond]

No

[rapid bison]

It's pretty satisfying to do once, but really tedious.

[faint pond]

We equipping us

Ok

[toxic rose]

In my first game I was overprepared for him. I didn't know that he very weak and almost can't do anything.

[rapid bison]

Yeah, a troll is able to knock him down.

Or the troll would if they weren't passive to all bosses. Imagine that infighting.

[rapid bison]

You could... try fighting Eikthyr again with very hard mode. It's like he has three times the health and can hit like a truck.

If you're just using Meadows gear, any weapon not upgraded would likely break before the fight is over.

[toxic rose]

Yes, hardmode change fight to uncomfortable

[rain flare]

They are rare - you get like 2-3 in world.

You know what is even more bonkers?
I got the same thing in my very next world 😂
Even worse, Yagluth spawned on my spawn island 🤣

[strange owl]

Morning ya'll

[rain flare]

Meowning

[strange owl]

Finally reached mistlands yesterday. Very interesting, and intimidating biome. Have a lot to discover and learn. First run-in with a Gjall was downright terrifying. Anyone have any tips for those floating nightmares?

[rain flare]

Shoot their tummy

Drink fire resistance

[frigid gust]

Arrows. ALL THE ARROWS. Some fire resist mead helps, too.

[fair cairn]

they resist physical damage as well right?

[frigid gust]

Nope, only the Seekers. They do get slowed by frost, so frost arrows can be clutch.

[rain flare]

And above all else, try and gain the high ground.
Those bastards spawn babies.
Nasty-clinging-blood-sucking babies! 😂

[rain flare]

Soft spot on tummy takes extra damage

[rain flare]

The babies can’t climb very well, so get in a big pillar and shoot that gjall

[faint nebula]

if there's a dvergr outpost near-by, pull it to that.

[strange owl]

These are all sick tips, I really appreciate it! Going to clear out some more of his surrounding mist with torches then try and tackle this dude. Hella fun exploring this biome so far

[frigid gust]

If you haven't also noticed, Seekers resist all physical damage, so ooze bombs, elemental arrows and the Frostner are about the best weapons you can use until you can build Mistlands gear

[frigid gust]

Theory: Gjall are just Jotunn brains that escaped the black marble 😛

[rain flare]

Counter theory:
Gjall are the elder ticks who consumed entire jotun brains and ascended (literally) 😂

[latent wraith]

Gjall are seagulls who ate too many surtlings.

[uncut bough]

gjall are HL-2 advisor that got lost in the wrong universe

[rich ice]

Also, the Gjall's back makes an excellent platform for standing on and chopping while they're distracted by dvergr or unlucky friends.

[opal prairie]

Ride that blimp.

[faint nebula]

they shake you off and spit on you.

[opal prairie]

Gjall rodeo!

[paper marsh]

All the spears!

[proper turret]

i havnt played valheim in a lot of time, is there still the problem with the fps decreasing with the more buildings are created?

[plush umbra]

that tends to happen when you make a computer keep track of more things.

[light moat]

It’s much better than what it used to be is my understanding. I consider myself a builder, and I’ve personally never had issues with FPS and building.

[frigid gust]

People who have the worst problems with that kind of FPS drop typically have slower CPUs or memory. Valheim is much more limited by processing and memory bandwith than most games, it is often the bottleneck whereas many other games are more constrained by the GPU.

[light moat]

Pita the nerd wise

[regal spoke]

@plush umbra what's the record for crypts in a swamp

[light moat]

I think Larsi found one with like 120 or so?

[frigid gust]

I get paid pretty well to be a nerd 😉

[languid root]

It is still much more fps compared with when you don't play at all

[regal spoke]

Wowww. OK nevermind. I'm on a multi-player server. We found a swamp with 17 crypt. Thought that was pretty good.

[light moat]

That’s still pretty impressive in my books lol

[plush umbra]

before the mistlands update, iirc, 93 or 98.
depends on your definition of "one swamp" though, there are were points at which it got so thin that no land was above the surface of the water, but it still counted as swamp on the map.

[proper turret]

yea but still i just wanderd if it was worth it to build a big base

[plush umbra]

oh what? i didn't hear of that, when was that?

[proper turret]

or not

[languid root]

I have never encountered any problems with fps drop personally, but i play mostly xbox x

[proper turret]

ok grazie

[light moat]

#valheim-chat message maybe I didn’t remembered right 😅 so I guess like 80ish?

[regal spoke]

Nearly 100 crypts in one swamp is wild.

[plush umbra]

(ugh, discord, please just let me view that message)

[languid root]

It actually sounds unbelievable

[plush umbra]

ah yea i think that was the record before i found these two almost identical seeds.

[light moat]

Ahh, nice!

[plush umbra]

they probably have fewer crypts if generated on modern versions, since the total per world was lowered from 400 to 175 (to go with the fact that much less land is now covered by swamps as their outer limited was reduced from 7500 to 6000 meters from the center.)

[light moat]

Oh, swamp generation was changed? I did not know that.

[frigid gust]

Man, I'm happy when I just get more than 5 in a swamp. I find it's much more important that the iron be near where I want it to be than just have a ton of crypts. If there's no good base location around that, there's not much draw IMO.

[plush umbra]

yea with the mistlands update, they ate up a lotta land that mistlands could've used better.
most points of interest also had their totals reduced, but grave1 (that small collection of indestructible rocks, 3 spawners and sometimes a chest in the middle) didn't, that's why it now clutters almost every swamp you find.

unless that's been fixed, i didn't keep track of the report i wrote 😅

[regal spoke]

The challenges involved is that much more playing no-map no-portal

[light moat]

Wow, that makes a lot of sense, I was wondering why I was coming across so many spawners lol

[frigid gust]

I think the only way I'd play no-map, no-portal is fully nomadic, all ship based. I don't have to the patience or time for that 😉

[fair cairn]

no wonder im finding so many of them now, litterally had two of them with in spawning distance of eachother if one stood in the middle

[regal spoke]

I've done so much solo time in game. I now look for community to do some of the crazy challenges. But no map and portal limits the field a lot.

[plush umbra]

i havent played valheim inmonths

is it worth reinstalling

[latent wraith]

If you like it it is, if you don't like it it isn't.

[languid root]

I play exclusively only nm np, and there are lots of us actually

[plush umbra]

i did like it but im asking with the new updates

lemme change the question how do yall honestly like the game so far

[light moat]

If you got the Valheim itch, sure, but the new update is coming out pretty soon, so you might want to wait for that.

[regal spoke]

It does seem like there's plenty nomads. But not many looking to make a community go at the play style

[latent wraith]

It's one of my favourite games.

[plush umbra]

o shit what does it include and when

[light moat]

Absolutely, Valheim is my 2nd favorite survival game.

[plush umbra]

enshrouded looks good

[light moat]

Ashlands biome, some time in the first half of this year 🙂

[plush umbra]

ASHLANDS BIOME ISNT OUUUT? nooo

not worth reinstalling rn then

[plush umbra]

so basically till july

cant believe this game is in early access though

[light moat]

Somewhere in the window between now and June basically.

[plush umbra]

cant wait ngl

[regal spoke]

If Valheim is second. What's first

[plush umbra]

i see that the game has gotten a lot of updates since i last played it

[light moat]

Yeah it’s kinda nuts. Valheim is more polished that a lot of recent AAA games lol

[frigid gust]

There have been lots of teasers lately, so I'd be personally surprised if it was all the way at the end of June, but it's not impossible

[plush umbra]

SO TRUE

[light moat]

My first love is, and will always be… ||Terraria ❤️||

[languid root]

Usually they gather in small groups or play alone yea. But there's almost any time a spare survivalist to play with, cuz it kinda turns into the way of life for us.

[plush umbra]

im looking at ashlands teasers and damn

the blood sky is amazing

the enemies im excited for

[regal spoke]

It is a way of life. Completely changed the game for me. I'm playing on a normal play through with a group. But I'm still keeping track of direction, making paths, and compass.

[light moat]

Check out the channels are roles section in this discord and get yourself the public tester role 😁 lots of teasers and spoilers in the public test channel.

[plush umbra]

when im not lazy i might as well

done

[languid root]

I also play just normal difficulty most of the time, it's all about direction tracking and getting better at it all the time. Using a map feels so weird that it just spoils everything.

[light moat]

Making roads around the entire island(s) sounds like so much fun. I really like the idea of a connected world like that.

Like a main or popular road being made of stone, and little side roads that lead to something less used or something is made of dirt road- that sounds amazing.

[regal spoke]

Indeed. I'm looking to navigate better by way of the tree. But choosing when to cross gaps of water seems pivotal as well. Going out at night or into a storm is a good way to get lost

[light moat]

Do you plant trees that serve as markers? Like a beech tree forest in a Black Forest biome?

[languid root]

Good discipline is crucial yea

[regal spoke]

So far my group experience is from Germs server. Dirt paths with a good amount of signs is the way. Stone paths would eat a lot of resources. But I can see use in them for key routes

[light moat]

Haven’t seen germ much recently, does he play on the server a lot?

[regal spoke]

Oak trees render before any other tree. Orr so I'm told

[light moat]

I’ve heard that about pine trees as well.

[languid root]

I don't make paths, most of tge time you need 1 reference point every 150 m, paths are very time consuming

[regal spoke]

I had to bow out of his server. To much for me. Great group. But the pain wasn't rewarding for me.

[uncut bough]

is there a way to adjsut game brightness?

it is so hard to traverse swamp in nighttime, and it is not like it is easy to notice it will go dark either. In other biome i can just say "Oh it is going dark i should get home", but nah here it is always dark

from barely visible to "you can't even see 1m in front of u"

[regal spoke]

That's kinda how paths were handled. A lot of free nav. Then paths for key things that need linking. However Germ spent 12hrs making a very long path that hopped multiple continents. That was spawn to Elder. Took almost an hour to navigate on foot and raft certain hops

[uncut bough]

which leave me at the mercy of Wraith, which hits like a brick

[languid root]

Germ likes pain, it's not surprising for a man who even makes photos of himself with a shot in the shoulder

[uncut bough]

so i often caught off guard by the sky turning dark , not helped by the fact Swamp is 24/7 dark, and then when it just gone dark everything is pitch black, i cant even make out if in front of me is shallow water or deep enough that i have to swim and the leeches will start sucking my blood

[frigid gust]

If you refresh your rested bonus in the morning when sleeping, Valheim has a 21 minute daytime so you can usually gauge off that pretty easily.

[light moat]

You can usually use your rested buff to help keep track of the time. You can use a hoe to level out shallow water as well.

Swamps are always wet and muggy, they aren’t easy to traverse.

[cobalt canyon]

Yeah I always spend about 20 minutes around a Bonemass altar making the ground usable

*course if you can fight him near a surtling flame instead....

[drowsy magnet]

have you tried increasing the brightness on your monitor? works wonders 👀

[uncut bough]

max already

[drowsy magnet]

you could also try installing gamma mod

[mellow dagger]

Dunno, for me I feel like a first explorer, creating points of interest, pins, etc. Amazing game :3

[languid root]

You are the first explorer

[rain flare]

Swamp is just straight horrible

Nothing in all of valheim’s going to change that

[cobalt canyon]

Unfortunately the most interesting things seem to be "oh Draugur village" and "Where's a base that I can walk to every working biome?"

[languid root]

It is there for you to appreciate not swamp

[vocal rivet]

Swamp is fine if you keep your stamina topped up.

[rain flare]

You are wet 24/7, surrounded by death
And don’t even start me on how dark and horrible it is at night

[light moat]

To be fair, that’s exactly what I kinda imagine when I think of a swamp haha

[cobalt canyon]

Usually cold and wet at the same time

No fancy frost protection cloak at that stage

[rain flare]

Hate it 😂

“The Bee’s are VERY unhappy”

Ooooooh Derek has fancy flowers in his name 👀👀👀

[tawny wasp]

I've never had unhappy bees.

[paper marsh]

Scarlet flowers

[vocal rivet]

I don't know when it happened, I didn't ask.

[cobalt canyon]

I feel like first time going into the swamp on very hard combat is just "grab the turnip seeds and get out"

[vocal rivet]

It's certainly a priority.

[cobalt canyon]

Or do it before you kill elder

[rain flare]

Grab the goods - see’s a wraith - FLY YOU FOOLS!!! 😂

[cobalt canyon]

Although....if you have a 2 star troll with you...

Shoot who wins? 2 star troll or abomination?

[light moat]

My moneys on the troll lol

If I had to guess

[cobalt canyon]

#screenshots message

[light moat]

Huh, I just realized plains doesn’t have a bow.

[cobalt canyon]

I had this happen at one point - I think the leech helped

[light moat]

Stupid leech interfering with an honorable duel

[cobalt canyon]

I just realized - abominations don't get stars do they?

[light moat]

Nope, I think only a handful of monsters do

[rain flare]

Very strange how some biomes just don’t have stuff

like mountains and an Atgir

[cobalt canyon]

Yes but mountains have punchy claws

[light moat]

I believe the intention is to have gaps in progression to encourage having different playstyles, but even with that being said there are exceptions. Well, one exception I guess.

[cobalt canyon]

Clubs

[light moat]

Hmm, I suppose mistlands actually doesn’t have a club? So maybe there are no exceptions 🙂

But yeah, clubs are everywhere haha

[odd helm]

It has a 2h hammer

Which uses the clubs skill, so arguably counts

[light moat]

Ah, I did not realize that! maybe I should quit fooling around building a pretty base and actually progress to the mistlands

Ah, then yes, a club or two every stage of progression.

[frigid gust]

Just leave extra space in your crafting area for the new Mistlands crafting stations 😉

[teal flax]

Hello. I copied a world from a local save to a dedicated server using the steam dedicated server tool. I do not know how to change my server password. I am hosting the server on my PC.

[light moat]

I’m so close honestly, Yagluth is next on the to-do list. Well, right after I build my watchtower-wolf farm combo 😅

[paper marsh]

I’d say most do

[light moat]

Yeah maybe ‘handful’ was the wrong word lol

[cobalt canyon]

Lox
Fuling shamans
Drakes
Abominations
Gjalls?

Serpents

[rain flare]

Stone golems

[cobalt canyon]

Fenrings

[flint mirage]

Hello guys I have a question what is a Community Server?

[rain flare]

Hildir cultist raid

Has stared fenrings

[light moat]

Wraiths

[frigid gust]

Community just means it's listed publicly in the server list, I believe. All servers still require a password.

[frigid gust]

Gjalls can be starred at night

[cobalt canyon]

Do they spawn stared ticks?

[final lily]

I don't think Gjall can drop starred ticks. Pretty sure those have to spawn on their own accord

[frigid gust]

Starred ticks spawn in the mines and at night (or possibly by the Jotunn skeletons?)

[regal spoke]

Heh how many 2* ticks does it take to drop a lox. Asking for a friend

[oblique mist]

with sword 30sec ( black metal

[languid root]

Lox meat is 4hp/tick (but a simple one), so you can count;)

[regal spoke]

Heh fair enough

[light moat]

Really not trying to start a heated debate, but I’m genuinely curious (been reading some Valheim reviews) why do so many people find the UI to be bad? What is it about it that people find unappealing?

[fair cairn]

do the reviews say nothing aobut why?

if they cant give a reason their opinion is invalid

[brittle mist]

I almost made my base ..need to put def walls and barricades on other side too..

I will share the pics in screenahot section😁

[light moat]

I saw one that complained about the hot bar not being the lower center of the screen, which is an odd complaint to me. Another complaint was that it was too simple? No great reason, in my opinion.

[fair cairn]

too simple? doesnt that jsut make it easy to follow?
and the other one
terraria has its hot bar top left

[light moat]

Maybe the comparison was to Minecraft or Ark? I agree, I like the simplicity of it.

[strange arrow]

in some games you can move the hotbars around and arrange the UI how you like

players used to that might find it odd that Valheim doesn't let us do that

[azure yacht]

People also shouldn't expect that every single game in existence must be accommodated to what they want (unless is due to accessibility reasons)

Most of those complaints are "me, myself and I specifically find this very little, insignificant thing annoying and that alone makes it a fact that is terrible design and literally everyone (the vast majority of the fan base) agrees with me".

Fortunately, they're easy to ignore (despite being the vast majority ||wheeze||)

[light moat]

The vocal minority i think might be accurate 😂

[glossy spruce]

I’m in big need of ashlands news, I’ve been hyping myself about the game lately, especially when I saw we get new build pieces

[paper marsh]

But news might spoil the fun

[latent arch]

I havent played this game in so long, ive missed so much ffs.

[final lily]

omg meeee toooooo #me2

[light moat]

Gotta leave some surprises in there 😉

[livid leaf]

I don't like it, so its bad

🧠

[light moat]

This game must be bad, because I don’t enjoy it. Y’all stop having fun!!

[lusty crescent]

!!!

[brittle mist]

Is there any way to share the pics i took if my small base?😁i made an archer tower and a dock also..using raft to travel

[merry pebble]

post them into #screenshots 😄

[azure yacht]

This but smoother

[hollow crag]

I don't mean the ice pond the small one but an entire whole ass big lake in ice cave I never seen it

[light moat]

I had a frost cave with a giant frozen lane waaay below, and it had two golems in it. It was pretty cool, had a fishing pole too.

[night aspen]

Is there anything special about taming wolfes? seems like my one star wolf doesn't want to eat that raw boar meat

[light moat]

So starred wolves are a little different, they only eat/tame at night. So what you can do is basically wait by your wolf, and when night time comes around again, taming progress will go up. A wolf that has begun the taming process won’t despawn.

[kind plover]

night spawns are weird, ive had them despawn during taming while I left my base

[prime moth]

nothing like firing up 9 cookers with iron scraps after a long swamp journey

[strange arrow]

precisely why having the debate and scrutiny are important, but also if the majority finds things fun are they really all wrong for doing so? xD

[night aspen]

Will they disappear? he is gone, lol

[lone remnant]

Hey guys, I just came back to valheim for the first time after stopping playing shortly after release in 2021. I only ever got up to just before fighting moder back then and I'm almost back at the point now after starting fresh a couple weeks ago. Any thing I should know about whats changed with the mountains? I'm still prepping to even go near one.

[night aspen]

i just did some gardening at close field

[strange arrow]

frost caves were added but otherwise pretty much the same, night is dangerous as with any biome

[lone remnant]

ah nice, I saw something about those and I just assumed I never came across one on my original playthrough, didnt know they were new

looking forward to hitting one now

[dusk coral]

On Jirock the Viking's YouTube channel, he presented a freind's design for a blocking trainer. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdFNr6PJHykI I took the concept in a different direction. I set up the skelatin archery section but put it a cross from a greydwarf spawner. The end result is the greydwarfs are spawning into a narrow channel with distance between them and the archers. The archers are shielded by a waist high stair and distance to be safe from greydwarf stones. The archers do not take damage and only the barriers wear out. I have a crude design that needs more work. The concept is working wonderfully. No fires to deal with or puffer fish to collect, etc.
Has anyone tried anything similar?

[hollow crag]

Yeh those are very rare someone went through 100 frost caves to find them I think

[final lily]

I've found 2x throughout my time in the game. Have probably done less than 50 caves in total. Interestingly, my very first cave ever had one!

[light moat]

Sorry man 😦 maybe go for a 2 star wolf next time?

[uncut bough]

accidentally aggroing all 3 Loxes was such a heart pumping experience

i was shooting at one, and for some reason that one and the other one in the pack started aggroing me, and the next arrow i shot, the previous lox dodged it and hit the 3rd one

so i now have 3 stampeding creature wanting me dead

[frigid gust]

That's why I often use the Hunter's Bow instead of the Draugr Fang, it makes less noise so you usually only attract one at a time, and an atgeir spin will help manage them a bit when they're all cranky

[uncut bough]

i am using huntsman bow :/

[dark slate]

i haven't been active in over 15 months - when are they going to finish ashlands and subsequently the frozen north?

[regal spoke]

Doesnt the bolt from a huntsman bow have a 4m aggro radius

[dark slate]

has there been any official date?

[regal spoke]

this half of 2024

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands should be out in a few months, but we know nothing about deep north

[nocturne wolf]

In this time they have released an update with a new merchant and minibosses

[narrow mountain]

Minibosses were a breath of fresh air

[dark slate]

i saw that, looks neat.

[kind pendant]

Hey guys, got a quick question

I’m in my solo world, and one of my friends joined along the start of plains and going towards the end of plain, and I don’t know if it’s really considered solo anymore, he helped me with some stuff, nothing crazy, and we just had fun mostly since he was around. So is it still considered solo-ish..?

[languid root]

Nope, man. This is so co-op now

[vocal rivet]

Mostly solo with a coop option.

[rare glade]

Obbaa BRasil!!

[kind pendant]

The bosses were all me, my progression and armor, so not like my friend brought me a ton a of black metal linen and stuff needed for the plains

[languid root]

I mean what kind of a moral dilemma is this?

[paper marsh]

Does it matter if it’s solo or coop? As long as you guys had fun!

[kind pendant]

Very true! Just my first time getting this far, i don’t really want help in this world, I want to discover and get stuff on my own before doing co-op, i want that fun and challenge going solo

I also snuck into the mistlands, not too far and a 1 star soldier seeker chased me to my base

[paper marsh]

I'd say what you've achieved has been pretty solo, especially if he didn't give you a bunch of resources or help kill bosses

[light moat]

Trying to decide if tonight is the night I fight Yagluth. I have some preparations to do, but not much.

Need to fight Moder too

[paper marsh]

Why fight him when you can Invite him to a tea party and befriend him!

[paper marsh]

Have you already killed her on this world?

[light moat]

Yep, just need her head to mount above my bed now 😂

[paper marsh]

Poor Moder

Gal literally just be a single mother trying to take care of her children and here comes an evil Viking slaughtering her children, sacrificing her eggs, and leaving the survivors as orphans

[light moat]

I go to HER mountain, kill HER babies, sacrifice HER eggs… and yet she’s the monster.

She never should’ve pissed off Odin I guess 😅

[paper marsh]

Girl has mad damage tho

Im not really scared of the attacks of any of the bosses other than Moder and Yag

[uncut bough]

i keep reminding myself that i dont need anymore deer meat or neck tail...and i somehow keep finding myself with more of it

it is so abundant that now Deer Stew/ Minced Meat Sauce is now officially "Low-tier" food in my chest

cuz i just cant make enough Deer Stew or Minced Meat sauce to get rid of 100 Neck tails and 130 deer meat

[paper marsh]

Yea and it’s not used later in the game either (yet). Except tails for poison resist

[uncut bough]

honestly i am thinking of Obliterator, but then i think that maybe i will find use of it

maybe i can tame wolf with the neck tail or deer meat, and feed them with more of that

also Cooked food just have horrible stacking ratio

like Raw Deer meat is 20 stacks each, neck tail is 50 stacks

but god forbid, for any cooked dish it is 10, which is very space inefficient

[paper marsh]

Intentionally so yea

Makes sense too

Some food does get out of 20 tho

[uncut bough]

mm at this point imma go to random server and offer food service for free

or maybe actually i want wood in return, not totally free

i spent time cooking so i can't be giving it away like candy

[light moat]

Almost managed to lure a one star boat through the plains, until a curious lox decided to crush his hopes, dreams, and bones. RIP Boar…

[uncut bough]

good Lox

it is sooo much easier hunting Lox with 2 people, when i do it alone it involves a lot of running and maneuvering, with my friend then it goes down in like 15 seconds

usually with no harm, except once my friend got hit once and lose 99 health or sth, barely alive

[paper marsh]

I like to tame them

With a good weapon and shield doing a parry on them and bringing them down is great fun too

Lox Lover has entered chat

[uncut bough]

Lox lover when Lox Eradicator walks in to the bar

[kind pendant]

I tamed two loxes, one of them is rideable so I’ll be taking that into the beautiful yet dangerous mistlands. It’d probably die quick either ways lol

[kind pendant]

😂

[velvet harbor]

any tips for raiding fuling camps?

[uncut bough]

snipe then with arrow, use an elevated position like a rock so they cant reach u

or maybe just shape the battlefield around u first, build a makeshift shooting post, snipe them from there

all road leads to arrow, or use Bile Bomb

be grenadier

[kind pendant]

I’m not good friends with him at all. I’ll send all my loxes at him to deal with him. If he can’t eradicate them in time lol

[kind pendant]

Also have bonemass ready

[uncut bough]

oh u must be talking to me then, i am having good time shooting lox

i hunt them alone, fighting 2-3 lox at the same time, i bring my friend, hunted 10 lox in 1 in game day and ran out of 100 stacks of arrow

[kind pendant]

Well that’s alright, if it’s for the rescources. Once you start killin em for fun, Nuh uh

[uncut bough]

oh of course i kill them for the resource, but i had fun doing it

otherwise, why would i do it, it is just meat and fur, nothing much

[kind pendant]

Fair enough lol. I kill them for rescources too.. sadly.

[slate glacier]

bow xp. (deer or moder better tho)

[kind pendant]

Yeah that lox pie is pricey with the meat

[uncut bough]

i had to kill them lox to get the meat, and the fur i craft a mat that increases my Comfy to 10

so, it was good fun

[kind pendant]

The rugs are nice and comfy, especially that cape, has that better look with padded armor

[uncut bough]

maybe when i get enough meat and fur i will hunt em for fun

honestly it felt like caveman hunting mammuth all over again

[kind pendant]

Also I checked some mistland gears and items and the hassle to get them is insane 😂 you need to do 5-ish things to get a black forge

[kind pendant]

Hunting mammoths viking version

And loxes are good for bow skill. I’ll leave sad having to kill it for that

[lilac breach]

Anyone else having issues loading game on xbox? I keep getting the "the person who bought this needs to sign in" message. I'm 100% logged into my profile, and have restarted my console, and have logged out and back into my profile. Not sure what to do.

[kind pendant]

I play on console and haven’t had a problem yet.. sorry but I have no info on that : /

[lilac breach]

Nvm it's working now. Xbox so finicky sometimes 🤣🤣🤣

[paper marsh]

But also bows boring

[kind pendant]

Very true, often has weird problems I’ve experienced minor problems that were just completely random.

[uncut bough]

devs after the playerbase complaining other biomes are too easy: Have it your way then
introduces mistland

[paper marsh]

Is mistlands that bad?

I’d say Swamp is a bigger threat but mb that’s just me

[uncut bough]

no i havent even reached plains but i heard enough people complain that it is bad

[kind pendant]

The mistlands is such an insane jump of difficulty 😂 stuff you gotta do to get into the mistlands and then getting mistlands-tier

[uncut bough]

Swamp is just, gimmicky, it gives you debuff, and then nothing else

[kind pendant]

Plains aren’t all that bad if you’re ready

[uncut bough]

monster are a bit scarier, more threatening, mining iron requires going into the dungeon and all

but otherwise it is just black forest but with tougher monster, and always wet debuff

[rigid copper]

I prefer the swamps now

Specially compared to the ||infested mines||

[kind pendant]

I once had cold, wet effect in a swamp with weaker armor. So it was night (obv) a wraith came, a draugr with an axe and another one with a bow. So with my stamina being stupid, i was being shot at, being chased by a wraith and a draugr with an axe. I died

[paper marsh]

I tend to struggle more in swamp than in mistlands but I’m also an experienced player. Mistlands does introduce a new mechanic and awards being aware which is why a lot of ppl struggle with it

[kind pendant]

I haven’t gone to one or in one yet, idk how to prepare for one when entering one

[rigid copper]

… potions

[uncut bough]

the more annoying thing is that in swamp it is 24/7 dark, so you have no way to know if it is almost bedtime when u wander there for too long

[rigid copper]

Lots of health potions. Wide swinging weapons the more reach per swing the better

[kind pendant]

I encountered a 1 star seeker soldier today 😁😁😁 first seeker soldier and luckily i didn’t die lol

[rigid copper]

The worst part is the ||ticks||

[kind pendant]

Exactly. Eventually i know when to leave, when it becomes especially dark & the music changes

[rigid copper]

Specially 1-2 stared

[kind pendant]

I haven’t seen one yet

[uncut bough]

also when that rested debuff is gone, you are cooked, slow af stamina regen, and if u r trapped in the middle of swamp while it is night time, where you can barely see 5m before ur eyes if it is water or solid ground

or like if that water is shallow enough to cross thru or is it deep enough that makes you swim and the leeches gonna suck your blood dry

[kind pendant]

The rested buff not being there is so harsh

[paper marsh]

Seeker soldiers seem silly to me. They have about the same damage as a Seeker

Whereas a troll has like 6x the damage of a greydwarf

[uncut bough]

seeker sniper when

[rigid copper]

Passive health drain that scales with the rarity of the creature. ||They drain HP 2 two star ones will drain 200 hp in 4 seconds||

[kind pendant]

Oh gosh 😭

[paper marsh]

||Ticks|| are basically harmless imo

[kind pendant]

Mine was a starred one soooo it was a different story

[paper marsh]

Well same damage as a starred seeker

But yea seekers and seeker soldiers can be scary. Soldiers have so much hp too

[rigid copper]

Get swarmed by multiple stared ones and get back to me on that

[paper marsh]

I have been. It’s just they die in 1 hit and with a wide hitting weapon you can take out many in that 1 hit. And if they attach to you you can just roll to get them off

[kind pendant]

Same as those gjalls

Problem with soldiers is that they’re resistant to all attacks (blunt slash and peirce

[paper marsh]

I think what makes mistlands feel safe to me is that there’s not a lot of ranged danger. ||Only ranged things are Gjall which are rare and I don’t get snuck up on by, and dvergr who I have to start the fight with||

[paper marsh]

So are seekers

One thing tho is that I think soldiers have more non-pierce attacks? So root chest is less effective

[kind pendant]

I like dvergrs, they’re chill not planning on attacking them

[rigid copper]

I found they are weak to frost and poison

[kind pendant]

Unless necessary

[kind pendant]

The thing is, i personally think seeker soldiers are stronger than gjalls in a way

And you can critically hit a gjall

[halcyon blade]

You can with a soldier as well, it's just harder because their rear end is the weak spot.

[kind pendant]

Also sorry for no spoilers (I know you guys know all this but for others that don’t) I don’t know how to put a spoiler

[halcyon blade]

|| around text if I recall

[kind pendant]

Well yeah like you said, it’s harder probably will turn around by then

||lets try||

It worked, thank you!

If the mistlands are this difficult, will the ashlands be more difficult?

[halcyon blade]

I would still rather take on a soldier than a gjall. Having to use ranged attacks only can be annoying, the fire damage can melt your health if you choose not to take up an inventory slot for fire resistance, the ticks they spawn divide your attention, and because of the fire damage it pretty much prevents you from wearing the root harnesk to help deal with the ticks. Fights with gjall have overall been miserable and can go south really fast.

[kind pendant]

Very true, both are bad to meet anyways lol

[forest hinge]

lox lover, id like to imagine lox lover would be a insult some drunk Dvergr would throw around in a bar

[paper marsh]

God I hope so. Think so

[kind pendant]

In a way a challenge would be great, but if it’s very difficult then I don’t know

[pliant hatch]

May be slightly easier, as we already got a fire resistance potion.

[kind pendant]

Do you guys think the new armor coming with Ashland’s, will it be 6 armor higher than carapace?

[hollow crag]

I actually got wolf raid in the mountains I am wearing level 3 bronze armour, but luckily there was one of those underground structure in the mountain with stairs and a lot of the wolf gets stuck at the stairs and also bonemass ability is too op

[halcyon blade]

Not even sure how you survive a wolf raid without either bonemass power, or a location the wolves can't reach you at and using ooze bombs. All it takes is a few hits to stun lock you and you're finished, and with their high attack rate and multiple coming in from random directions it's very easy for them to take you down.

[kind pendant]

I’ve gotten that wolf raid at the worst times

[frozen void]

if you have a narrow path you can stand your ground

sledge is good if not

[kind pendant]

I haven’t crafted a sledge or a stag hammer my entire run

[frozen void]

the best time to get that raid though is while raiding a fuling village

[kind pendant]

If we are to be that lucky

[pliant hatch]

Like at night time in the plains, just when you're planning to extermina do some hostile negotiations with Fullings?

[kind pendant]

Also these little stupid fulings are still so powerful with 93 armor. Easy to kill but your health says otherwise (sometimes)

[pliant hatch]

Best time to get the "Hunted" raid is when you're sailing at the ocean. 😄

[frozen void]

nah that's a waste

[kind pendant]

Wellll while on a mountain with low stamina, mining, unprepared on uneven land for me to land a proper ultimate atgeir attack

[paper marsh]

Can always lower the difficulty if it’s rough (if you’re not already on Very Easy)

[pliant hatch]

Not when you're in your Karve, wearing your troll armor because you need to recover your body.

[frozen void]

while mining is tbf a good time to get raided, cause then you can have the terrain on your side

[kind pendant]

Nope just doing a normal run no touches to the difficulty seetings

Died like 5-6 times in 180 days, first 2 were in tombs with incredibly bad armor and items

[uncut bough]

after ashlands i want to see drylands

where the only creature to be found is Camel, snake and enlarged vultures from the sky

nothing to be farmed there except for treasures, and just treasures

After ashlands we get the Deep North.

So expect Polar Bears, Penguins and seals. The latter will give your club a meaning again.......

Nah it’s when you’re surrounded by lox, a fuling villages worth of angry goblins, and a couple tar pits. Huge three-way fight

[kind pendant]

Or just a desert 🤷‍♂️

[paper marsh]

4 way if you join in

[uncut bough]

exactly, it is just desert

[kind pendant]

I’m looking forward to those polar bears. They’re probably gonna be pretty big, decently fast, a lot of damage (like a wolf) and a lot of hp

[uncut bough]

hence, drylands, dry-lands

[kind pendant]

If they’ll add them ofc

[latent wraith]

There won't be more biomes than the ones already in the game. No deserts or jungle or anything such.
I wouldn't expect any "normal" animals in the deep north either.

[paper marsh]

Im just hoping that the difficulty of biomes gets based on new mechanics and attacks that are harder to predict

[kind pendant]

Maybe one or two normal animals atleast

[paper marsh]

Like mistlands mechanics were a great way to challenge players. Same for swamp

[pliant hatch]

With an R-rating comment that'll be called a "gang bang" 😄

[kind pendant]

Kinda sad that they’re probably not going to add anything after deep north

[paper marsh]

It’s beautiful. And very lucrative

[paper marsh]

They’ll prob keep doing updates just prob not huge biomes

[kind pendant]

Oughta be a big boss fight, great gameplay and a very unique mechanic before they stop with em biomes that finally leads you to valhalla to rest

[pliant hatch]

Unless they start to consider to do DLC's after all.
But we can only hope.

[pliant hatch]

One thing that comes to mind are Jotun.

[kind pendant]

Probably will be for the deep north (obv)

But I’m talking about a final biome (depends, they add as much they’d like) where everything just finally starts going smooth

You go to valhalla and etc.

Where would be the best place to build a main base I haven't built a base for this run, and have been using ruins buildings as base, am heading into mountains age, am considering building one big base to accommodate all the different crafting station

Imo meadows is best early on, but then I upgrade to Plains right after or before killing Moder
