valheim-chat

[hollow crag]

Yea I think I stick with my current Copium base until I unlock tar

[kind pendant]

I did a main mountain base and did a plains now

[pliant hatch]

Depends a bit what you like to build.

I prefer an island which is turned into a plateau, and whenever possible a BF island so I got access to tin - and sometimes copper.
Plains, Mountains and Mistland will only have an outpost to deal with the items I get from there.

Others build a big base in each biome or close to borders of multiple biomes to have access at all of them at once.

[kind pendant]

I luckily settled in a plains that’s surrounded by a swamp mountains, mistlands and blackforest

[paper marsh]

I like the idea of mountains bases but bringing metals to them is just brutal

[hollow crag]

Yea I will put in effort into actually building a base when I have tar

[paper marsh]

Island bases are cool but I feel like losing out on raids can get a bit boring for me personally, and you likely won’t be next to a lot of valuable resources

[vocal rivet]

Smiffe has said the only updates after 1.0 will be bug fixes.

[paper marsh]

Cool

[pliant hatch]

It is possible to mine a path in the mountain sides, but it's a lot of work and you still need to bring a lot there.
And I doubt cart will always be useful.
No restrictions on portals help, but that'll take away part of the game's fun.

[paper marsh]

So I guess that means achievements at 1.0? Pretty sure I heard smiffe say achievements after 1.0 release but if there’s nothing afterwards that prob just means on release

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, I'd imagine so.

[hollow crag]

They might put in more quests in the game at one point

[halcyon blade]

No restrictions on portals is fine as long as you're using it for moving between bases, or later game where it turns into a huge waste of time and inconvenience (like when you're getting more copper and/or iron for building purposes). For initial mining efforts simply avoid using portals to move metals around. I personally plan on doing that. Would be nice to have a late game item you can equip instead though that would allow for it, that way it doesn't interfere with early game efforts and also doesn't make it tiring and a major nuisance late game (especially when the travel distances start adding up a ton).

[paper marsh]

Well all people have different reasons for using the settings that they do. I wouldn’t generalize that everyone likes using no portal restrictions for moving base

[final lily]

I disagree. Moving bases should be a planned activity, and carried out with a longship. Simply allowing portals triviliazes the experience

[halcyon blade]

Travelling is already pretty trivial, portals just cut out wasting time that can be better spent elsewhere. Besides, I already do a lot of travelling anyway, I'm really not losing anything by skipping past a route I've taken many times before to get to various places the first time.

Although you are right, I should not have made it a general statement like that.

[ember panther]

my original world has portal everythin and now i'm playin a no portal / no map playthrough. diff reasons to enjoy both

[vagrant creek]

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

[hollow crag]

I just get silver in the mountains and then just put them in cart and they roll down the mountains lol

[paper marsh]

That’s the opposite of the goal lol 🤣

Throwing a cart down the mountain won’t help you get metals to the top of the mountain

[uncut bough]

what is this out of context Gettysburg Address?

[hollow crag]

Ig the best way to do that is just get the weight increase item, empty your inventory and then use corpse run I think then you can get up to 600 weight limit

Combine with the deer boss buff you have unlimited stamina

[plain bane]

I'm glad my main mountain base was built on a fish cave on an island far away from Moder; she made an absolute mess of her island before being skewered.

[uncut bough]

Man this game really doesn’t like 2 storey buildings

Either the roof crumbles or the stone craftables collapse when placed on wooden floor

[hollow crag]

Iron beams

[final lily]

Evil we've talked about this before, you and I. Like Yuuki said - Iron Beams! Or alternatively, stack wood on top of corewood on top of stone. That will easily let you get to like, 5 stories

[hollow crag]

Black marbles builds are also easier

[uncut bough]

I dont have iron beam

[hollow crag]

They don't collapse that easily

[final lily]

well, my friend - go get some extra Iron and you will!

[hollow crag]

This is why I don't focus on building early in game

[uncut bough]

I only just unlocked stone, and just stone. I have some corewood but corewood just dont seems to be able to properly prop up stone floor

[uncut bough]

I want the hearth, so i have to

[hollow crag]

Cuz it's materials draining and obtaining materials like iron early is more time consuming

[final lily]

nono, you cannot place stone on top of wood at all. You can, however, place iron on top of wood, and then place stone on top of that

[plain bane]

Stone can only be placed on terrain or other stone.

[final lily]

or Iron supports

[hollow crag]

You just need stone cutter for that

[final lily]

I think he is saying that he wants a hearth on the second floor

[hollow crag]

I see

[uncut bough]

Yes i want hearth on 2nd floor

So 1st floor is entrance and a storage room

And i cant place hearth at 1st floor because smoke cant escape, it will choke us all

[final lily]

I think its crazy that studios with waaaay more manpower and money than Iron Gate aren't able to replicate realistic building physics (or sailing for that matter) anywhere near as well as little-ol' Iron Gate Studios and their tiny team

I'm looking at you, Enshrouded!

[uncut bough]

Also it blocks a massive chunk of 1st floor. So i build it on 2nd floor near bed to raise that comfy level

Which i can just make an escape hole for smoke

[uncut bough]

That is a lot of shade throwing

[final lily]

Evil - I share blackmagic hack with you... If you don't want to waste iron to be able to put your Hearth on the second floor, just use a hoe to raise the ground as a "support" for your stone and then build around it

[final lily]

some might call it Shadethrowing... I call it an undying expression of love for IG studios 😂

[uncut bough]

I did manage to put hearth on 2nd floor

[hollow crag]

Or better yet build a small house outside with the hearth there

[uncut bough]

Just that the house looks a bit ugly with all the chunky stone pillar

They are short, and thick, making the house looks like mirror maze

[final lily]

yeah for sure. Sounds like you need an injection of Iron to meet your goals

[uncut bough]

Minus all the mirror and plus all the cramps

So now my comfy level is 10

16 minutes of rested buff is nice to have

[hollow crag]

You guys should check out my base that I am using rn at #screenshots

[final lily]

its ok, but you can do better. Don't forget things like Round Table for +2 comfort, Dragon Bed for +2, Hottub for +2 (once you have tar), Banners, etc etc

[hollow crag]

See the Copium that I am inhaling

[final lily]

masterpiece!

[hollow crag]

I legit just used a no roof stone ruins was my base, and the remains of the copper deposit

[lunar gyro]

Hey, I have a question: when we plant a tree, when we harvest it, it won't produce seeds so we can plant again? And we are forced to go pick up seeds to plant?

[hollow crag]

Yea tree planting isn't really worth it

[final lily]

It has a chance of dropping seeds. You'll find Birch Trees have the highest chance of this, therefore making them the closest thing to a "sustainable" tree farm that you can get

[final lily]

Blasphemy! I plant sooooo many trees on hardcore

[hollow crag]

I meant planting them is alright, but like if you want to that to be your main source of wood it's not really going to sustain

[final lily]

no no, of course not. However, Birch trees are actually almost sustainable. You just need an occassional injection of fresh chopping

[uncut bough]

Sadly i think i need to extend the house perimeter to be able to build a farm and/ or working stations, rn i still dont have smelter/ coal kiln at the new house and have to run back to the old house

[hollow crag]

Btw you know when you destroy cart it drops cargo isn't those just = free storage

[lunar gyro]

So there will be a seed drop rate, will it be similar to carrots?

[hollow crag]

Like infinite free storage with cargos

[final lily]

Stop by your nearest Sultring spawner in a swamp and collect another 20 cores or so. They come in quickly and easily from swamps

[hollow crag]

Idk how much durability it has and you can't repair them

[uncut bough]

Why do i need more cores?

[final lily]

Naa, carrots are fully sustainable. With trees, you only have a chance of dropping seeds, and that chance depends on the type of tree it is.

So again - with Birch trees, you can have a tree farm that is like... idk, mayb 80% sustainable

[uncut bough]

I have 60 of them after raiding a bunch of dungeons and i can just move all the mats that is used for those working stations to my house free of charge

The mats arent lost if i smash a charcoal kiln and bring it to my house and rebuild

[final lily]

correct

knock those bad boys down and move em'!

[hollow crag]

Ngl building aspect of this game is best to do them either in multiplayer or when you have access and control over plains resources

Cuz when you get to the plains the game slows down

[final lily]

really? I breeeeze through plains so fast

I don't really bother building a base until Mistlands tbh

[hollow crag]

Well you could, but it would usually be a good idea to slowly farm black metals and lox

Cuz the things you need to make with black metal before heading into mistland is a lot

And you probably would like to be as prepared as you can be for the yagaluth boss fight

You also need a lot of flax which is time consuming cuz you need to plant them

[uncut bough]

I hope the carrot dishes are still viable to bring to fight bonemass, i created too many deer stew and minced meat sauce for that

[hollow crag]

In those periods of time it's best for building

[hollow crag]

💀

[uncut bough]

Also too many carrot soup

I have like 150 carrots with 200 more that just ready for harvest #screenshots

[hollow crag]

Use like muckshake sausage and black soup

Or if you have serpent stew use that

[final lily]

In my last normal playthrough, I only bothered with enough black metal for a pickaxe and and axe, plus a bit extra for Sap Extractors, and only grew enough Linen for my Eitr Weave robes. The blackmetal comes in so fast from clearing villages - it took no time at all to get way more than I needed

[hollow crag]

Bonemass is one of the worst boss fight if you are going to do it either cheese it with a thousand arrows or be as prepared as you can be for it

[hollow crag]

A lot of the mistland weapons and black metals weapons requires a huge amount of black metal tho

To improve your food you also need some time to grow the barley flour which takes a extra step in processing it

Over all I think plains is just one of the biomes that I would like to slow down my progress

And make the best preparations for mistland due to how incredibly dangerous mistland can get

[final lily]

Adding to this comment - if you head up a mountain before Bonemass and grab some Frost Glands and Obsidian, you'll find Frost Arrows absolutely wreck Bonemass. Doesn't require very many of them, even. Probably the easiest 'non-cheese' way to do that particular encounter, imho

[uncut bough]

I can do that, but i want to get rid of carrot based dishes first

Clear out the storage, for new batch if food

[hollow crag]

Yeh I was going to do that but I kill it with 1.2k wood arrows in my archery training instead

[final lily]

Take the carrots into Bonemass fight. They're still ok!

[hollow crag]

Isn't there an building that can destroy items into coal

[final lily]

Oh! Speaking of archery training! I tested building my copyrighted archery trainer that we spoke about yesterday on a Greydwarf spawner, as you suggested. 100% does not work. The Dwarves do not clip into the stone like skeletons, for some reason

[paper marsh]

Carrots are also used later on

In mistlands

[hollow crag]

I see

Well am most likely just going to train with bonemass anyways since I actually built a pretty simple yet nice looking watch tower for it

#screenshots message

[final lily]

ok, just know its gonna take a lot longer, due to the need to actually draw your bow back in order to not just wiff the arrow and miss

[hollow crag]

Yeah I know but your methods also requires a lot more wood, which would take a lot of time as well

[final lily]

you went from 22 to 52 in 1.5 hours. Same time and you coulda hit 85 on the skeleton trainer

and my methods take the same amount of wood as yours, technically. Going from 22 to 52 requires the same amount of arrows, regardless of how you fire them. The difference is that 22 to 52 for me takes about 20 minutes, if even

[hollow crag]

Huh i see

Alright lemme go back and rebuild a new trainer than

[final lily]

yaasss, atta' way! ❤️
Remember - simply place the large stone wall pieces over and arround the skeleton spawner, creating a "foundation" over top of it, then put up a few walls and a roof to give you safety from wraiths while you're doing it. Stand right in the skeleton's face and just spam left-click as fast as possible

a single skeleton will take you from 0 to 20 skill, spending about 80 arrows in the process

[hollow crag]

Alright lemme test it out once I go back to home

[final lily]

let me know how it goes!

[hollow crag]

Alright

[light moat]

Chickens are probably the best thing that’s ever been added to the game. I could tend to the coop all day long.

I’ve made a horrible mistake. My farmhouse is too cozy, and I have no incentive to do anything else besides bake bread and pet chickens 🙃

[stable aurora]

Has anyone found a way to keep chickens bunching up in a specific corner? Makes egg picking a real pain.

[light moat]

I was actually just wondering that myself. My pen is more rounded, but they still really like the walls.

[stable aurora]

Must need their behavior tweaked

[strange arrow]

it's the general behaviour of all tames to do this

[light moat]

I think other tamed have a similar behavior, it’s kinda just the norm for games haha

[strange arrow]

they search their enclosures for an exit, and when they can't find one they stack in a corner, as if they think that corner is the likely exit point

[light moat]

To be fair, irl chickens are pretty stupid, so this behavior is not all that surprising lol

[strange arrow]

they are good at exploring their accessible areas and finding food

even if you build a big staircase, and place food at the top out of sight, they will find a way up to it

[light moat]

Chickens are just great. They make me happy.

[strange arrow]

funny to think they can move around a viking that can carry 450 kilos like passing a football around a pitch xD

wore my super smooth waxed boots to the henhouse today, hooweee we had us some fun

[frigid gust]

Only solution I've found is to put them in individual partitions so they have enough room to breed properly

[stable aurora]

I like the round faceted coop idea, at least you could shove them out of the way to get the eggs\

[strange arrow]

height is the real answer, if the eggs drop down to a collection area the chickens don't come anywhere near them, as long as it doesn't have a fire they won't hatch

it's a bit industrial but for me it beats being their pinball xD

[stable aurora]

I watch the youtube on the automated egg farm, I may have to resort to that

looks like snoopy's doghouse

[strange arrow]

i made a coop but kept it as open as possible without letting them just escape

[hollow crag]

Fr chickens = infinite feathers it's the perfect thing for any bow mains

[fallen zephyr]

I think that chickens tend to move as far away from fire as possible. Obviously, you need it to incubate eggs, but if you have an area they can wander around well away from a fire, you might find they move freely, rather than clumping.

Or, leave the eggs alone long enough to get hungry chickens again, then throw some food to move them out of the way.

[stable aurora]

I'm going to give that a shot, I always have a bonfire next to the coop so they cant get away from the Fire perk

I do the food trick right now, but there is a fine line between that and them hatching

[ember panther]

Before I made a safe fire my chickens committed Sudoku like moths to a flame

[fallen zephyr]

Worth a shot. I just destroyed my coop fire and the chickens immedaitely spread out.

[stable aurora]

Seems to be working, and the cold eggs won't hatch into dang chicks

I'll just have to see if they lay without fire

[fallen zephyr]

I can't find anything to suggest otherwise

[stable aurora]

They seem to be laying just fine. Thanks a ton for the input. I'll put the fire back when I need more meat

[fallen zephyr]

Maybe the answer is a laying coop and a hatching coop, then. Just drop the eggs in a different location when you need more chickens

[stable aurora]

I think so. Give me something else to work on and that's great

[limpid gate]

it's probably been asked a million times before but if I haven't yet discovered any ~~northern ~~ southern parts of my world (basically only discovered a bit around the centre) will the new ashlands terrain be applied correctly or is a new world absolutely necessary?

[exotic cradle]

Ashlands is south honey, and no you won't need a new world

Even if you've discovered it a bit it will still generate, no worries!

[limpid gate]

my bad, I meant south

[merry pebble]

and if you explored only a bit on the edge it really doesent matter since the ashlands generation will be changed and the coastline of them pushed a bit 😄

[fallen zephyr]

Why are there 4 health foods that last 30 mins, and only two stamina foods (one of which is probably the hardest food in the game to stockpile)?

[fallen zephyr]

It's not your bad... a polar hot zone makes no sense, whether it's north or south. 😛

Actually, it could on a flat world. Nvrmd. Don't @ me 😛

[exotic cradle]

@fallen zephyr

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[fallen zephyr]

You're in an antagonistic mood, aren't you 👺

[exotic cradle]

I can't help it, it's my default

[fair cairn]

if someone says dont @ me
the first thing ill think of is
to @ him

[merry pebble]

this is the way

[opal prairie]

Agreed!

[exotic cradle]

@fair cairn

[fair cairn]

yes? @exotic cradle

[exotic cradle]

Hai ^_^

[fair cairn]

hello

[exotic cradle]

ANyway PTB notes wooo

[hollow crag]

I saw a video online that talked about a vanilla command that print the crypt location is that real?

[halcyon blade]

There's a command that will ping the location on the map of what you searched for, or will add pins on the map if setting the second parameter to more than 1.

[toxic rose]

Yes, and even more, it's work in chat, not in console

But console cheat command works ofc better, because it could ping and add mark to map

[fallen zephyr]

Have you ever stopped to think that, most of the time, our Valheim character eats all three of their daily meals at the same time?

[hollow crag]

Whats the command?

[halcyon thistle]

they last an entire day so that's comprehensible

imagine eating breakfast lunch and dinner 6 in the morning

and not have to think about food the entire day

[fallen zephyr]

That was kinda my point...

[halcyon thistle]

yeah I meant to add that doing this would save us some time

[toxic rose]

In chat /printseeds , show nearest dungeons and distance to them.
In console
devcommands
find <name>

[hollow crag]

didnt work

Only print the world seed for me

Oh ig i wasnt close enough

[fair cairn]

almost ahve 5 ironchests of wood now!
I NEED MORE

[opal prairie]

MOAR!

[fair cairn]

oh shit i mispelled more

[opal prairie]

Don't worry bout it.
Its a common ailment.

[fair cairn]

its now 6 chests minus 1 stack from the sixth of wood

so its 7150 wood
should last me a bit

[languid root]

Just hardly enough to build 143 houses

[lusty crescent]

Wtf u doing

[fair cairn]

i deforested my starter island

[lusty crescent]

Imagine an industrial district right here😤😤

[exotic cradle]

okay now reforest it

OAK ONLY
do it

[fair cairn]

have.... 3 oak seeds

[exotic cradle]

skill issue

[regal spoke]

3 Oak seed turns to 20+ in a few rotations

[heady parcel]

Heh, found a dergr excavation camp teeming with one- and two star dvergr. Enter a one-star soldier and a gjall, and I could just pick the camp clean afterwards. I thought dvergr mages would kick those types to kingdom come, but I guess they don't have fire resist wine...

[fair cairn]

not sure how that works cause the dropp rate is not 100%

[exotic cradle]

But when they do drop they drop in multiples \o/

[mild thunder]

Anyone know if ENB or Raytracing mods have been added to Valheim?

[regal spoke]

Some trees drop no seeds. I've had some oaks drop more than 3

[mild thunder]

I'll see myself out

[exotic cradle]

#mods-discussion might help you better

[cursive igloo]

Hello everyone ! My friend and I are hesitating to start a new world, but we fear to be reset when the ashlands comes out ? any risks or is it safe to say that we will keep our progress ?

[opal prairie]

You will keep progress except for anything you build in ashlands and the ashland parts you have explored probably won't update when the patch goes live.

[cursive igloo]

Thanks for the clear answer !

[vivid kiln]

How do I get clothes in the game

[opal prairie]

At least that is the way with all off the previous updates and I expect the ashlands will be the same.

[opal prairie]

"Regular" clothes are from ||Hildir|| all the rest is made on the appropriate crafting table.

[vivid kiln]

What’s blacked out?

[fair cairn]

just someone to buy clothes from

[vivid kiln]

Ahh ok thanks!

[frigid gust]

Valheim is centered almost completely around crafting. Unless you are using mods, there is no loot that you can find. You gather materials, and then craft weapons and armor from them. There are a few exceptions where you can buy certain things from vendors, but they are not necessary for progress.

[vivid kiln]

Ok thanks, sorry I’m new

[frigid gust]

No problem! That's why we're here. Valheim has some mechanics in it that many other survival games don't, and you can't take assumptions from those other games into it. The other thing to know is that food is an actual mechanic, and better food makes you stronger and more capable. It's not just keeping you from starving, so you should definitely focus on developing what you can to make meals.

[vivid kiln]

Yea I’m coming from DayZ. Valheim is definitely very different

[rigid vault]

Hey guys. I’m new to this server and it’s my very first message.
I hope you could give me a hint - the scrolling wheel on my mouse is broken, and I was wondering if it’s possible to change the rotation in building to some other mouse buttons not the scrolling wheel. I was googling for hours, but couldn’t find the answer. Hope you guys can help with that ✌️✌️

[frigid gust]

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to remap that 😦

[rigid vault]

That hurts, haha. I found the temporary solution though, playing Valheim on my laptop, and using the touchpad for building only. But it sucks still. thank you for answering

[exotic cradle]

Don't forget you can use different snapping points now too, it might help you ^^

[rigid vault]

This doesn’t really help if you can not rotate the object

[frigid gust]

I've got an old mouse in my extra electronics box if you want... 🫠

[rigid vault]

You are too sweet, thank you!

[fair cairn]

i had the same problem a year ago
my mouse suddenly decided to work again in the meantime but i did have a second tiny bluetooth keyboard with a touchpad mouse and used that for 90% of the games that didnt have a scroll remapping option

[pale forge]

anyone know the progress and where i can download the 9byte open world RPG mod for valheim?

i couldnt find any sources ongoogle other then asmon coverin git

[vivid kiln]

Does anyone know if the actual Valheim game is any different than the “game preview “ that game pass offers?

[rigid vault]

Yea it seems to get back to life occasionally, so I think It might be back alive haha

[vocal rivet]

No, it's exactly the same game. It's in Early Access.

[vivid kiln]

Ok good, that’s what I have

[latent wraith]

Game preview is just another way of saying it's a game in development (like early access is Steam's term for it).

[rare birch]

Anyone play yet with the new patch(beta) from today

[vocal rivet]

I'm sure plenty, but best to keep talk in the PTB channel.

[frigid gust]

If you go to id:customize you can add yourself as a public tester and get access to that channel, as well as alerts when they are released, etc.

[rare birch]

Thanks!

[regal plover]

Can't get on my server

[fallen zephyr]

Have you asked for consent?

[kind pendant]

The fact that this is in game preview, imagine the graphics and gameplay once it’s fully done

[hearty niche]

*** There is 1 thing I know of in the world that you can find randomly.

||Fishing pole|| can be bought from the vendor or found in ||ice caves||

[frigid gust]

I've yet to find one after almost 1200 hours, so I refuse to believe that exists 😛

[vocal rivet]

Given that some worlds might have only 1 that's not surprising.

[frigid gust]

Graphics style is intentional... it might have some better lighting or some effects in earlier biomes eventually, but don't expect an HD overhaul or anything.

[hearty niche]

I'm curious if folks said similar things about Minecraft

[fair cairn]

back then graphics wasnt everything lol

[night aspen]

I cannot decide what food i should cook, just reached Plains. Any tips?

[fair cairn]

plains tier food?

[vocal rivet]

Still isn't.

[frigid gust]

I usually try to do two health focused and one stamina focused foods, so it depends on what you have. If you just reached the plains, wolf skewers, sausages and onion soup are a pretty decent mix.

[night aspen]

aye

[fair cairn]

for the minority it isnt
for the majoriy graphics is absolutely everything

[frigid gust]

If you're gathering plains materials, aim for farming lots of barley, and bread, lox pies and fish wraps are solid

[rare birch]

Depends on play style. Do you run from things a lot then go high stamina. Do you stand your ground and fight then high health. I also recommend the wearing the root harnesk

[night aspen]

onion soup is allready on my list, i still need to tame wolfes for meat, couse its kinda annoying to travel around in mountains and meet dragons/golems

[vocal rivet]

I'd love your sources on that one. The resurgance of indie games over AAA in the last year or two would suggest otherwise.

[frigid gust]

The graphics in Valheim are stellar. They're just stylized. I liken it to people saying that Van Gogh wasn't a good painter because Rembrandt was more realistic.

[night aspen]

at the moment i am mostly running around with Frostner and Shield/Bow

[fair cairn]

maybe thats becouse people have started waking up and seeing that graphics isnt what makesa game good

[uncut bough]

ah shiEt, here we go again, another discussion of "is graphic the dealbreaker"

[vocal rivet]

No, doesn't have to be.

[fair cairn]

i dont care about graphics personally
valheim looks beautifull as is

[latent wraith]

I'm not sure what could be added to the graphics, might be some light stuff the newer unity versions support that older ones didn't but I certainly don't feel anything's missing.
Gameplay is not likely to change much more, except for possible new mechanics being added. It's a game in development, but the already developed bits are pretty much finished except for any tweaking and re-balancing they might do.

And tweaks and balancing will probably be minor, I don't expect another hearth & home style overhaul.

[lusty crescent]

I've grown used to it (and liked)
Wish armor and cloth looked a bit better tho

[uncut bough]

for me graphic is just 1 component of what makes the game good and therefore developers can just adjust it accordingly, so not every great game have to have every ray-tracer modelling every single hair strand of a model

sure people have perference to a component of the game, whether it is graphic, gameplay, soundtrack,... but pinning a factor for being decisive or deal-breaking is shortsighted

[vocal rivet]

Right, so after first exclaiming 'ah shiEt, here we go again, another discussion of "is graphic the dealbreaker"' you've decided to continue one?

[uncut bough]

yes

[fair cairn]

indeed

[lusty crescent]

Bro just tryna discuss😭

[uncut bough]

i want to see the world burn, i wanna see more dramas

anyways, that out of the way, do i need to stack up guck?

[fair cairn]

for poison arrows yes

[uncut bough]

it feels a bit too useless in Swamp tier, like i think it is used to create.....green banner?

[vocal rivet]

Sure, but his first response was that he didn't LIKE discusing it.

[fair cairn]

i dont know how many other uses they have?

[uncut bough]

wut? it takes oozes and not guck

and also obsidian, which i am not gonna get in swamp

[fair cairn]

hmm? uh ive mixed them up then
shit

[rare birch]

Def the root harnesk will protect from deathsquitos. I'd also bring stamina pots. Those lox can be relentless. Took me a while to get comfortable tanking them. I usually run like hell lol

[light moat]

Guck is used for green lighting 🙂 ||oops||

[fair cairn]

lol

[vocal rivet]

You good?

[light moat]

LOL I’m on mobile and my fat thumb hit F instead of G

[fair cairn]

who decided that G and F and D should all be right next to eachother

[vocal rivet]

Hah, easily done.

The inventor of the typewriter.

[fair cairn]

was he petty? im sure he knew what he was doing with putting them next to eachother

[formal kraken]

get off that qwerty keyboard. It corrupts you with the dfg in proximity.

[vocal rivet]

No, it was better to place keys you don't use together near each other to avoid the mechanism clashing.

[light moat]

-I get reported and banned

[formal kraken]

b&

[fair cairn]

damn logic
i refuse!

[vocal rivet]

I mean, there's no need for us to have continued this with digital keyboards but history be history.

[formal kraken]

It was some psychology experiment from the early 20th century that said the keyboard should be this way

[vocal rivet]

No, I've just explained why it is how it is.

[fair cairn]

logic probably dictated that putting them the same way as the typewriter was probably so that people that used typewriters could have a easier time moving over to a computer?

[fallen zephyr]

Derek is not wrong. The keyboard key placement was primarily about avoiding jammed keys on a typewriter.

[fair cairn]

100% take that with a tablespoon of salt

[ebon osprey]

I have almost the same hours played and I have found three of those fishing rods. Of course in different maps

[formal kraken]

Remington, the gun manufacturer, had the layout studied before it was changed to avoid jamming. Perhaps truths can be exclusive.

[uncut bough]

i have a lot of cloud berries, is it possible for me to sneak to a herd of lox, throw the berry behind them, sneak away and watch they eat the berry?

[frigid gust]

That's how I do it. They're blind and deaf, so it's fairly easy to do

[uncut bough]

imma try taming one, so i can traverse swamp easier

wait actually i dont have lox saddle, so that plan is a bust

[formal kraken]

That's always the bottleneck. Gotta prioritize getting flax if you need the Lox to progress.

[uncut bough]

but if i tame them i can still lead them home right

[frigid gust]

Not really, they don't follow like wolves. Saddles are the only way to move them.

[uncut bough]

back to bow and arrow bois

[formal kraken]

Yeah it's rather annoying. Especially when you sprint up to them in a stressful situation and accidentally off their saddle instead of moving them to safety.

[rare birch]

Also be careful keeping them by your home. Their aoe damage while trying to kill enemies like deathsquitos ect can really mess up any structures. I had a tame lox kill like a dozen tamed wolves I had in a pen while it was trying to kill a deathsquito outside the pen

[light moat]

Ahh tamed lox can kill tamed wolves?

[frigid gust]

No. Tames are all on the same faction, and can't (won't) hurt each other.

[light moat]

Thank you, I was extremely worried for a minute there lol

[wicked snow]

What's with all the flowers, is it spring already?

[light moat]

Indeed 😁

[frigid gust]

Barreling into it. You can get them if you want 😉

[wicked snow]

Hell no, it's 6 degrees

[frigid gust]

Yeah, it's gonna snow here over the next couple days

[rare birch]

My bad must have not been a tamed lox but a tamed lox will mess up your buildings

[frigid gust]

Is that 6 in celsius, or freedom units?

[wicked snow]

I'm waiting for the ashlands release date so I can call some days off from work and snort Valheim like cocainum

[wicked snow]

the one that makes sense

[formal kraken]

So the one that dictates temperature based off the human body and it's reaction to it, not the water one right?

[frigid gust]

Ahh, the one badly normalized to iced salt water and body temperature. Got it 😉

[formal kraken]

[wicked snow]

aw man, the pothole outside in the street 2 and a half washing macines and 6 inches long

[vocal rivet]

You'll be waiting a while.

[frigid gust]

I knew you were lying and were really an American!

[plush umbra]

All house fans are American confirmed

[wicked snow]

figured, if it's not out yet then it's a long way off

[vocal rivet]

No, just saying we probably won't get a date.

[wicked snow]

worst case scenario 30th of June right?

[fallen zephyr]

Mine says it was made in China..?

[formal kraken]

They said "First half of 2024" so they have until June 31st, and they'll wait until June 31st if you keep asking.

[vocal rivet]

I'm not American.

[vocal rivet]

There's no June 31st.

[frigid gust]

Not with that attitude there isn't

[plush umbra]

You don’t like house confirmed

[vocal rivet]

No, I love House. And HE'S not American either.

[wicked snow]

I'm actually surprised Derek isn't American

[plush umbra]

American confirmed 🤷‍♀️

[vocal rivet]

How dare you.

[formal kraken]

American't

[plush umbra]

Honorary American in spirit, heart, and soul

[wicked snow]

and avatar

[fallen zephyr]

Hugh Laurie is British, and his accent in House is awful. If you've been convinced he's American, you should probably talk to your GP about removing built-up ear wax.

[vocal rivet]

Half the cast didn't realise it's that good.

[wicked snow]

I didn't really think about that but I still like the way he sounds

[vocal rivet]

And fuck me, imagine being American and talking about bad accents. We still haven't forgotten Dick van Dyke.

[wicked snow]

I'm really curious, where are you from non American Derek?

[fallen zephyr]

And more recently, Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr Strange.

[vocal rivet]

I'm British, obviously.

[wicked snow]

obviously? Where's the tea and buscuits, and crisps

and mate' and talking crap about the roayals

[vocal rivet]

Yep, that's just going on block for now.

That's better.

[old radish]

You blocked him?

[vocal rivet]

Mhm.

[fair cairn]

looks it

[wicked snow]

who in the what now?

[fallen zephyr]

Oh, there's the tea & biscuits. 😛

[vocal rivet]

Better for my mental health and my warnings count.

[wicked snow]

it's just a prank bro

[light moat]

Think today is the day I beat Yagluth. Just have a little more prep to do.

[vocal rivet]

You can do it, we believe in you!

[frigid gust]

Make sure to put your portal right beside the altar... 😛

[fallen zephyr]

Dude...

lol

[vocal rivet]

We built ours on top of one of the fingers. It... mostly worked.

[uncut bough]

make sure to put ur portal right on your roof

[light moat]

Got a portal set up a good bit away haha I’m really not all that worried- it’s more of actually getting it done instead of playing around with tar and chickens 😅

[uncut bough]

so whenever u come home u have a 50% chance of falling to ur demise and lose ur skill

[fallen zephyr]

If you choose the middle finger it always works.

[wicked snow]

so for the chicken thing to work, you have to make your crowned chickens that never get butchered and take the sacrifices into another room and let them hatch to their doom?

[frigid gust]

Did you see my screenshot from the other day? Yagluth really was giving me the middle finger #screenshots message

[fallen zephyr]

I did not, I'm afraid.

[light moat]

My process will just be to keep any 4 chickens alive at a time.

[frigid gust]

Eggs are so expensive I get super paranoid... I always keep at least 2 eggs at a secondary base that I almost never visit

But I keep 10 as breeders. I named them all androgynous names like Jesse and Pat 😛

[obtuse cloud]

just crafted fenris set, im gonna upgrade it to max, im gonna use it to discover land

[light moat]

Speaking of hens, @vocal rivet the wiki meantions chickens having 3 different colors with a 33% of each. But then below in the pictures, it shows 4 different chickens?

[fallen zephyr]

Tamed animal names are just begging for terrible pun names.

[light moat]

Yeah I’m super protective as well lol but I got my eggs from a sealed tower 😁

[vocal rivet]

Heh, oh, that's fun. I'll have a look, thanks.

[frigid gust]

On another world I have them named like, Hen Solo and Atilla the Hen

[fallen zephyr]

Precisely! Good names. 🙂

[uncut bough]

man the lore of Yagluth is so tragic

[light moat]

I almost want to have a second coop somewhere in my base, my only reason being I just love the chickens so much. Their noises are just 🤌

[uncut bough]

other bosses are like: these creatures are evil, kill them, but for Yagluth it is the entire lore of how he got decimated by Odin

[light moat]

Yagluth is seemingly the ruler of the Fulings, who are a pretty aggressive species, so I imagine Yagluth may have been pretty troublesome lol

[fallen zephyr]

The lore is tragic, but he presents as a giant, undead Fuling with paraplegia.

[uncut bough]

also just found some barley in plains

[frigid gust]

So many old gods were capricious and jealous. I figure it's just how it goes.

[fallen zephyr]

Barley is just opinion. Keep looking for the flax!

[fallen zephyr]

It's as if the people talking about them were just airing their own grievances...

[formal kraken]

Sumarian Gods felt that humanity was too loud so they killed as many of us as they could with a flood. Bonus points for being the origin of Noah's Ark fairy tale.

[fallen zephyr]

I was just going to say... it's a good job plagiarism wasn't a thing two millennia ago, or the Christians would be in real trouble.

[exotic cradle]

Yall really in the

[fallen zephyr]

I go where the conversation is 😛

[frigid gust]

I mean... we were talking about how Yagluth's story is sad, but putting it in perspective of other deities 😉

[vocal rivet]

It's more on topic than it was earlier.

[fallen zephyr]

The first time I killed Yagluth, it was the hardest thing I'd done in game. So, I'm kinda glad he didn't inexplicably revive himself three days later.

[frigid gust]

Hah. Yeah, he's a tough fight. I still need to fight the Queen solo though, I've done it with friends until this point.

[fallen zephyr]

I'm with you. I've downed The Queen with my wife, but I'm yet to get a vanity trophy.

I feel like a melee build is at a disadvantage for that battle.

[frigid gust]

Yeah. I've gone almost all melee in my builds so far, so I'm going to aim for more magic in this playthrough. Currently trying to find my first mine in the Mists in a mixed Fenris and Root set. Mined out two skulls worth of soft tissue so far at least 😉

[fallen zephyr]

I love the idea that a brain is preserved long enough for the skeleton to petrify.

[teal python]

Magic must be be an amazing preservative

[frigid gust]

Better than nitrites 😛

[fallen zephyr]

Maybe it's a mycorrhizal thing.

Does Norway have fungal root symbiotes?

Or, just Trolls and amazing death metal bands.

[frigid gust]

Fungi are pretty important to almost all crops and soil quality, so I'd be very surprised if they didn't

[fallen zephyr]

A quick literature search says you're right!

[teal python]

Apparently it had glowing mushrooms, so why not

[frigid gust]

My wife celebrates the ~5 times a year when she catches me not being right 😛

Two in a day and she lives on that high for a week 😉

[light moat]

You seem like the type who always wins at board games 😂

[fallen zephyr]

I can relate to your life, and I know that you and I both are wrong far more frequently than that, but we only get caught a handful of times.

[vocal rivet]

Only 5 times a year?

[frigid gust]

Hah. How'd you know... even Mario Party. I can't help that I just figure out how to use the rules to my advantage like a fish swims. But then I get fun new games like "how can I lose without it looking like I'm throwing the game to make them feel better..."

[fallen zephyr]

If @frigid gust was wrong four or six times a year that would also add to the number of times a year they they're wrong. 😛

[frigid gust]

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken

[fallen zephyr]

The competitor in me is toying with the idea of inviting you to a Tabletop Simulator session. The introvert in me objects to that idea.

[frigid gust]

The father of 6 that I am would have to politely decline because I have little enough free time as it is 😉

[fallen zephyr]

[Deleted] because text is the wrong medium for that conversation.

[uncut bough]

boy isn't it fun that the wind suddenly turned to headwind while sailing thru swamp

so now i am stuck with pedal while under constant raining

[vocal rivet]

I don't think pedalling will help.

[uncut bough]

then what will help me in reaching bonemass?

[vocal rivet]

Paddling.

Or just wait for better wind.

Hello

[bitter parrot]

yo

[kind pendant]

How’s everyone

Also I know this is a bit random, but is anyone down to play? I’ve done so much in my world I don’t know what to do right now 😪

[frigid gust]

Best place for grouping up is in #1024264966712340510

[kind pendant]

Got it, thank you : )

Just thought it would be better to play with someone that I’ve talked to, thought it could’ve been fun lol so my bad

[frigid gust]

No worries. Just makes it hard to run a busy server if we don't keep appropriate discussions in the right places.

I'm just here farting around while working, so I can't really take a break to play 😉

[kind pendant]

I understand, I try keeping some off-topic stuff in servers still a little bit on topic otherwise I can go to a different channel at that point lol

Time to find yagluth now, probably will find the altar before the vegisvir

[light moat]

I found a Yagluth vegvisir immediately upon entering the plains 😅 it was at a Stonehenge, and now I’ve converted it to a portal hub. The vegvisir is a nice touch lol.

[heady parcel]

Are later bows really worth the bother? Thinking of Spine Snap mostly, it has so much more stamina drain that I feel like the slight damage increase costs more than it is worth

[kind pendant]

Oooo lucky! I might have to boat around too since the plains I’m in is kinda small

[kind pendant]

If your skills are good, worth it, low skills then meh

[uncut bough]

i just found a smouldering tomb

is root lvl 3 gear good enough so i dont die when i enter?

[heady parcel]

Bow skill at 69

[kind pendant]

Haven’t been in one but ||brenna|| is kind of easy

[kind pendant]

Worth it then, charge up will be so fast barely any stamina wasted

[heady parcel]

Thanks!

[kind pendant]

Np! Also pretty sure more skill also = less stamina waste or just slower

[frigid gust]

The Spinesnap is barely better than the Draugr Fang for most enemies. It does a bit of extra spirit damage which almost everything is immune to, so it's not quite as useful. Now that it can get up to level 3 it is technically strictly better than the fang I believe, but...

[heady parcel]

I skipped the Fang this time, still rocking the Huntsman in Mistlands and it did start to feel a bit like shooting nerf darts

[kind pendant]

I’m pretty sure base level spinesnap deals 20 more peirce

[frigid gust]

Frost and poison arrows? That can help a lot.

[heady parcel]

Frost mostly

[uncut bough]

ow ow ow ow that boss has fire sword

[heady parcel]

But running low on frost glands 😛

[uncut bough]

my root armor is working against me now

[kind pendant]

Oh just realized you have root

Crap brenna will be tough be careful

[frigid gust]

Obsidian and needle are mostly a waste in the Mistlands since the Seekers resist phyiscal damage. Poison can be a good alternative, as well as ooze bombs and the Frostner of course

[heady parcel]

Ohyeah, 29 more base damage than Huntsman at lvl 3, worth it definitely, thanks for the advice folks

[frigid gust]

Should be able to upgrade it right away too, it only takes Eitr to initially build it

[uncut bough]

i destroyed it

[heady parcel]

Yeah I had a mountain of bone fragments stashed away 😄

[kind pendant]

Guys, the posts in the mistlands that have a wisp in the middle, when destroyed does it give a wisp?

[kind pendant]

Niceee

[uncut bough]

with some effort, i have to charge up heavy attack of mace, and dodge roll

keep doing that and the skeleton will kill itself with running into my attack, while i just dodge roll to avoid the AoE fire

[odd helm]

Don't think so, but I wouldn't destroy them personally, they have a longer range than your own wisp torches

[kind pendant]

Ty! Wanted to make a wisplight asap so I thought about it

[odd helm]

You're gonna have to kill yag for it first unfortunately~

[kind pendant]

Yeup. : /

And I still have to find yag….

Can anyone tell me how easy it is to kill yag or stuff to watch out for? His stats don’t seem crazy

[loud valve]

Run around the pillar and he runs around it too

[frigid gust]

He does a fair bit of damage. Fire resist potions are a must, good food, and a Frostner, Blackmetal or Silver swords are generally your best weapons. He resists piercing so arrows are not super useful, frost arrows if anything but you end up pretty vulnerable if you try to fight at range, especially solo.

[exotic cradle]

Why not try it first?

[kind pendant]

Thank god I have a frostner, swapped it off with a porcupine and I’ve been feeling like my frostner should make a return.

[frigid gust]

Frostner is one of the longest-relevant weapons in the game. It's also the level best pre-Mistlands weapon to bring into the Mists.

[kind pendant]

Oh wow, should I have porcupine and frostner on me at the same time-ish?

Because it’s a great weapons (ofc) and I really like using it, just don’t know what’s better or worse

[light moat]

I keep Frostner and a black metal sword on me, just for coverage. And the rare times my Frostner gets too damaged.

[kind pendant]

Mm alright, i also have my silver sword that I use, I don’t know which one is preferably better, blackmetal or silver

Because in a way their damage output is equal, but one deals a specific damage

[forest falcon]

craft both

[light moat]

Silver sword is crazy expensive imo, I often skip it lol

[frigid gust]

Almost everything is immune to spirit damage, so I basically never craft the silver sword. The black metal sword is pretty much a straight upgrade to it in 90% of situations, and basically equal otherwise.

[plush umbra]

compared to the battleaxe and silver knife (which were added long after the silver sword and thus probably balanced differently) the sword has some kinda overtuned stats, hence why it beats even frostner against ||yagluth||.
unsurprisingly the lack of vulnerability to spirit damage in post-mountain biomes does let it fall off.

[light moat]

Silver sword looks great on the wall too!

[heady parcel]

Also I tend to spend a lot of time in the swamp, on and off long after moving past it, and it shines in there

But now I have Mistwalker, so to the heck with pretty much everything else 🙂

[plush umbra]

the low stamina cost is also always a benefit to consider when it comes to frostner and the silver sword, maybe even in future biomes, who knows

[uncut bough]

I thought i would get rewarded handsomely for returning the bronze chest to hildir

But nah it just unlocks more options that i am not gonna touch

[formal kraken]

You're already dead. You need nothing. Bring more coins.

[uncut bough]

And it still costs money, why does it cost money if i did her a favor

She got the cake and ate it too, i am in agony

[formal kraken]

Worth it for the raids.

[heady parcel]

She's a merchant allright, shrewd one. Typical dorf!

[uncut bough]

Now i have to fight 1 star skelly

What a jolly experience to have, getting piss all for risking my neck

[kind pendant]

Oh wow, so blackmetal is the better option.

[fair cairn]

well blackmetal is the current biomes metal

[uncut bough]

At least defeating boss and unlocking haldor stuffs are progression binded and i have to do it regardless

[frigid gust]

In general, yes. The downside is it uses a bit more stamina than the silver sword, but I find that acceptable.

[kind pendant]

True, 20 more slash damage

[plush umbra]

it's also worse against ||yagluth|| than the silver sword, but in most other relevant cases, the black metal sword wins

[kind pendant]

So against yag, use silver or frostner?

[plush umbra]

whichever's most convenient

the silver sword is stronger, but it also heavily depends on your levels and preferences

and of course the black metal sword can also take on yagluth just fine

those are the top 3 weapons against him after all

melee that is

[kind pendant]

So, a lot of stuff are immune or resistant to spirit, right?

[plush umbra]

yea, generally only undead take spirit damage

and there's not much undead stuff after mountains

[kind pendant]

Oh, which aren’t really a problem anymore

True.. so blackmetal is the way to go, depends on you/me I guess, whatever someone wants to choose. In this case I’d preferably use blackmetal, and then silver in the yagluth fight

[light moat]

Weapons that have a lower base damage but scale more with skill exp 😂

Frostner supremacy 🤌

[clever jolt]

Porcupine looks too badass to not use

Also split pierce is useful

[heady parcel]

Ugh speaking of skills, I'm starting to regret that I skipped bronze and iron atgeir, starting on polearms late in the game turned out to be awkward

[uncut bough]

Wait now after defeating brenner the 1 star skeleton now joins the “random monster that will jump me” pool?

[heady parcel]

Still, the cattle prod...er...Himminafl...is awesome

[plush umbra]

it is funny how whenever there's an enemy threatening to give clubs a hard time, you have some unique club to deal with it anyway

[heady parcel]

Only for her raid

[light moat]

Yee, clubs are pretty powerful generally speaking.

[kind pendant]

I use porcupine I don’t know if I should be though

[plush umbra]

porcupine isn't strictly better than frostner, especially in the next biome, but it has its niche.
imo it shines best when fighting lox, since they resist blunt damage. it's also better than frostner against stone golems, though the iron mace is too.

[kind pendant]

They’re kind of on the same level?

[plush umbra]

if an enemy is neutral to almost all their damage types but immune to spirit (which is the case for a few very relevant enemies in plains and mistlands) then porcupine wins in pure damage, but it lacks the slowing effect and costs more stamina.

[kind pendant]

Just crafted blackmetal sword

[kind pendant]

That makes sense. Just use whichever comes more in handy in a situation

[light moat]

Oh, and Frostner is also available as a key chain 👀

[kind pendant]

I saw it! I really want to get it, not sure if it’s worth the money

[pliant hatch]

I was wondering, we had 3 biomes with a blood sucking parasite as monster (Swamp - Leech; Plains - Deathsquito; Mistlands - Tick).
How big would the odds be that we get another one in the Ashlands?

Perhaps something like Fireflea?

[jagged elk]

how to fix failed to connect?

[burnt mango]

Has someone the same problem as me that the game on Xbox updated to the public test version and because of that you can‘t join designated servers anymore? It’s not on the same version and thus it‘s not compatible. The server was rented on gportal and they say it’s a problem via the DEV‘s developer.

[raven heron]

why cant i rename the portal and instantly go through it anymore

like to rename both portals without having to make another pair

[plush umbra]

that was patched out a while ago, kind of a shame imo but i guess it makes a quick escape easier

[raven heron]

damn that sucks

[formal kraken]

steamdb.info and look up the depots for valheim

can't paste a screenshot here because reasons but whatever

[burnt mango]

I play on Xbox

[formal kraken]

you'll use the version you want for the dedicated server

Public test build id is 13711282

[burnt mango]

I don‘t want the public test version because I own the server in the older version. And I play on Xbox

[formal kraken]

All versions of the game's dedicated server can be found on steamdb.info. Search valheim then click depots. Use the build id you want.

[crimson wyvern]

You can get a buddy to rename the portal on the other side

[raven heron]

solo world :)

[formal kraken]

I just darth vader noooooo'd out loud

[pale forge]

anyone know the progress and where i can download the 9byte open world RPG mod for valheim?

[frigid gust]

Yeah, secondary portal is about the only way. I usually just use my temp portal when I need to do that.

[frigid gust]

#mods-discussion is where people might know that

[formal kraken]

I always have a portal named "jic"

[frigid gust]

I always have one completely blank as my exploring portal. I only name it when I'm going to leave it there permanently.

[formal kraken]

That works too. Solo enables that.

[fading briar]

hello

[vestal quartz]

taming boars is not working for m idk why

[light moat]

What seems to be the issue?

[vestal quartz]

mhhh idk

[light moat]

A lot of the times, the boar are often too scared to eat, either they are too close to fire, or they’re aggroed on a player.

[vestal quartz]

its still red mark on its head maybe itsa agrro but when im far there is yello hart

[crimson wyvern]

Yea you have to wait further away

[light moat]

If you’re seeing yellow hearts, that’s a good sign.

It’s a little silly, but in order to see the progress, you have to get close, which spooks them and halts the taming lol. As long as they have eligible food, you’re seeing yellow hearts, it should only be a matter of time 🙂

[vestal quartz]

oh okey i will try sneak them

[frigid gust]

I recommend using the Stakewalls instead of roundpole fences, if that's what you have. If the boars can see you they will get cranky.

[crimson wyvern]

And roof your pen for when you eventually get bat raids

[vestal quartz]

im still in the first island

[crimson wyvern]

They were so young...

Boogar, princess, and all of their children were murdered.

[frigid gust]

Looks like you've got it going by your screenshot in help. Some enemies can attack through fences, so you might want to make sure there's at least a 2m gap between your outer wall and inner wall where the boars are.

:/ how do people get the default password wrong... I specifically setup a server with the default name/password with the intent of getting random players. 5 minutes later I see in console: "03/12/2024 time: Peer id has wrong password"

[exotic cradle]

Risky idea

[frigid gust]

There's a default password? The game doesn't really tell you anything like that. Lots of players that just try to join servers without knowing you need a password or what the defaults might be.

[exotic cradle]

12345?

[slate glacier]

I should probably be running the anarchy server on a burner just incase a seriously bad actor comes along, but so far nobody in this community is as bad as the HSB/mc anarchy community.

but no, its the default name/pw as per the dedicated server tool that nobody seems to realize even exists.

[frigid gust]

We do, but most people set explicit passwords instead of using the default ones. The majority of people that know about the dedicated server will explicitly ignore all the defaults and set their own preferences.

[slate glacier]

most yes.

[frigid gust]

And the kind of people just blindly joining servers aren't really the kind to go learn about the details of a dedicated server. I would honestly say your best bet would be to post something in #1024264966712340510 and see what happens if you really want to just let a server open to anyone.

[slate glacier]

that I might do eventually.

[raven heron]

burial crypt respawn timer?

[frigid gust]

The only things that respawn in them are the yellow mushrooms, and I think that's about 3 days in-game

[rare birch]

Are petrified bones good for anything

[frigid gust]

In the Mistlands? Have you hit them with your blackmetal pickaxe?

[raven heron]

maybe i never explored the ones by my new base then

[plush umbra]

one of the 3 skeletons at the overworld entrance also respawns

[frigid gust]

Oh, good call. But nothing inside the chambers except the mushrooms.

[jagged elk]

@frigid gust It seems useless I tried everything, I allowed the game, went on behalf of the administrator and changed even the DNS server but everything doesn't work.

[frigid gust]

Well damn. I'm not sure what else it could be, it seems like your router or computer might be blocking you from the Playfab/Crossplay network. I wish I had any other answers, but it's kinda beyond the scope of what I can do for you. If Valheim is working for your friends the program itself doesn't seem to be the issue.

[jagged elk]

huh, i will try tomorrow again, if it doesnt work i will delete valheim

[frigid gust]

It's still a very fun solo game. The vast majority of my time in it is played solo, and it's designed to be single-player first, multiplayer as an option. But it's your call.

[exotic cradle]

..Bit of an overraction there

[pure condor]

Hi

I am experiencing issue currently, right click to build does not work for me, anyone experiencing similar issue?

[frigid gust]

Any chance you've remapped any controls? Consider resetting your controls just to be sure.

[pure condor]

i just installed the game again. Tried reseting and restarting the game. Also tried changing the setting from menu before entering the game

[frigid gust]

So, typically right-click will bring up the menu to change what you want to build, and left-click is how you build a specific piece. Is that not working?

[pure condor]

Yes, instead, now it's working middle click is building and right click is delete. I am used to be opposite 😦

[uncut bough]

wut da hell is "she's hot on ur tail"

[frigid gust]

Didn't you just beat Brenna earlier?

[frigid gust]

Weird... sounds definitely like there's some kind of remapping going on

[uncut bough]

actually yes

[pure condor]

not quite sure the option does not work any longer, could it be due to new patch?

[rare birch]

ran into a 1 star seeker soldier. First time. Did not end well for me

[crimson wyvern]

This happened to me too. Had to fix in controls.

[heady parcel]

I had one of those ambush the dvergr camp I was taking shelter in. He brought a gjall with him

The dvergr did soften him up a bit, but gods that was a display of destruction

[rare birch]

Lucky my death run went very smooth.

[crimson wyvern]

Awesome

Dvergers and gjalls both will die to my hands.

[pure condor]

any idea how? Because the option to make right click act as building control does not work for me

[crimson wyvern]

I just changed it in keybinds. Don't know how else.

[frigid gust]

Are you using any other key remapping software or anything?

[sturdy horizon]

Hey guys i am from asia i need a mate for multiplayer, 3 boss experience

[pure condor]

nope

[frigid gust]

Might check in #1024264966712340510 for that kind of thing

[pure condor]

okay I found it lmao

[frigid gust]

What was it?

[polar sleet]

Question. Do the Runestones that have an X amount of boars surrounding them respawn the boars over time?

[odd helm]

That was the link to the PTB patchnotes, which was posted in #public-test-patchnotes when it released.

For access to the PTB channels, grab the public tester role from the roles tab at the top of the channel list

[hollow scaffold]

o ok I am sry

[zenith star]

so im having a bit of trouble

minor but annoying im having fps drops and lag spikes sometimes

granted im using mods but my laptop shouldnt be struggling at all if you want the specs the laptop itself is a Cyborg 15 A12V and its fully updated

[frigid gust]

Mods throw lots of normal stuff out the window, so you might check in #mods-issues depending on what all you're using. In general you might want to turn down shadows and point lights, and possibly reduce the render scaling.

[pearl burrow]

anyone else having dedicated server issues? .bat file is overwritten. what do?

[gleaming salmon]

how many portals is it natural to have?

i already have 7/8 and i feel like it's to much

[latent wraith]

Somewhere between 0 and 500, probably,

[nocturne wolf]

The bat file should come with a reminder to back it up because this happens?
#dedicated-server

[latent wraith]

If you use portals - a portal to anywhere you might want to go regularly, or anywhere you might want to go occasionally thatis a bit out if the way from where you normally go.

[pearl burrow]

i have backup. the .bat file won't work. what changed

i was looking to seeing if there is a new change but there is no new .bat file

[nocturne wolf]

Verify the files in steam

[pearl burrow]

did that

[nocturne wolf]

What happens when running the bat file?

[pearl burrow]

just crash after 30 seconds

even the .pdf is gone

[nocturne wolf]

This hasn’t happened to me, I’m not sure what could be causing this.

[haughty tinsel]

Is there a limit to the number of wild boars you can domesticate? I have several, but they haven't been having offspring for a while now, and they all seem happy. I always make sure they have enough food.

[cobalt token]

I believe its 5 within 10 meters

[latent wraith]

No limit to the number of boars you can have, but theres a limit to when they will get pregnant. A boar cannot get a love point (and thus get pregnant) if there's 4 or more boars within 10 metres of it.

[pearl burrow]

do you have and updated .bat in your server folder?

just trying to pin-down what changed

[nocturne wolf]

It’s your server that changed, I don’t know what the problem is.

[pearl burrow]

no, it just crashes if i use my old .bat file

[nocturne wolf]

What are the differences between that one and the new file?

[pearl burrow]

there is no new file, fren. thats what i'm asking about.

even after validation

there simply is no new .bat file

[nocturne wolf]

Even if you re-install it?

[pearl burrow]

i guess i could try that. i reverted it and it works fine. we'll just have to roll without the update for now. kind of a bummer.

thanks for the respones though, fren.

[marble sable]

Are there any mods out there that just allow me to build a bit higher without it breaking?

[odd helm]

#mods-discussion would be the place for this question

[azure yacht]

TIL deathsquitos make a funnily easy job on gjalls

[frosty lagoon]

How do major updates work? Like if the ashlands update releases, do I need to start with a new world? Or can I still play with my current world as long as the ashlands areas are not explored/rendered?

[odd helm]

Latter is correct, more info in #faq

[cobalt token]

old world (if ashlands is unexplored) is fine. the Devs recommend creating a new world for best experience but not 100% needed

[frosty lagoon]

I see, thanks for this. FAQ says its not 100% sure though, I guess I'll just see when the ashlands update drop.

[uncut bough]

It is so annoying to see a huge patch of swamp but it contains no crypt

And in the other place there are 4

[uncut bough]

guys is iron axe even necessary ?

are there any trees that can only be cut with iron ax but not copper?

[azure yacht]

It is

[forest hinge]

it isnt really unless you just love axes

[marble sable]

thx

[balmy cove]

Hello Warriors! I'm new here!

: D

[lusty latch]

Looking to set up a server for friend group, what are some must have mods?

[hollow crag]

Nope

You need black metal axe for mistland tho

[empty blaze]

🍻

[uncut bough]

just raided my first fulings village, got some tar and flax

also a tar pit nearby that somehow all the blobs that inhabitated the place are all dead, while some black metal shard strewn around that place

them fulings or Lox since i did see lox trample around that place, must have fought the blob

Some tar is stuck on the thick tar liquid, how to remove that liquid?

Do i now activate minecraft logic and pour some water in, hoping it dilute the tar enough?

[loud valve]

You drain it by digging a new pit in lower elevation

[uncut bough]

Cant i just get some stone, use a hoe, elevate the tar, grab it?

[loud valve]

You can. Not sure if it works for the deeper parts of the tar pit

[uncut bough]

What do i use flax and barley for?

I have swamp tier stuff but after going exploration in plains i find it good fun to do some raidings

Of course i will return to natural progression and go to mountains

[dim mist]

Flax is used for linen thread witch you need for lots of plains tier stuff

and some mistlands stuff aswell

barley is just bread and stuff

[loud valve]

Pies

[lunar sapphire]

Multiple 3.141592654

[buoyant reef]

This has probably been suggested many times but I really wish the large copper and stone boulders in the Black Forest were like 2/3 of their current size so they would extend past the dig limit half the time instead of all the time.

[vocal rivet]

They don't? It's fairly rare.

[buoyant reef]

I've never found one that did't extend that far down. Ever. Except for maybe the ones that generated in the middle of a very steep hill

[clever jolt]

Cap 🧢

[halcyon blade]

It's very rare to get one that doesn't have at least some part extending past the dig limit. Although most of the time it's very negligible. If you've reached that point simply move on to a new copper deposit instead of worrying about the last little bit you can't reach.

[buoyant reef]

What bothers me about it is that I have to mine 2/3 of it to make it break from lack of support, and at that point I may as well have just mined the whole thing normally. It saves barely any time for most of those boulders

[strange arrow]

10% is 10%

over the course of 10+ veins mined it does make the difference between that one extra but for regular 2-3 veins it's not a great saving, but still worth it imo

love that pop

[buoyant reef]

Yeah. It's alright, I just think if the copper and stone boulders were even just slightly smaller it would be convenient and nice to have

33% Was probably a bit much. Even 5% or 10% smaller would make it just slightly nicer

[strange arrow]

think it's been suggested a bunch of times, nothing big seems to be being changed at all lately

i'd have liked to see a fix for skelette's wrecking the boat with their bows yet

[halcyon blade]

There isn't going to be a fix for something that's normal and intended behavior. If you leave your boat in a spot where enemies can reach it, or if you're sailing within range of ranged enemies, of course your boat is going to be attacked, damaged, and destroyed.

[strange arrow]

that's not the problem xD

the problem is the skelettes you summon only shoot the boat and not at all at the mobs attacking it xD

[halcyon blade]

Oh, you were talking about the dead raiser. Never used it before so I thought you were just talking about normal skeletons and calling them by an odd name.

[strange arrow]

their aimbot just needs a fix for when they are summoned on deck

[strange arrow]

excellent hare hunters but poor deckhands xD

[halcyon blade]

They want to make the captain go down with the ship.

[strange arrow]

fr

with magic being tough to get into it's not a commonly found problem, yet

imagining all the teams summoning their skelette's ready to head into Ashlands, only to find out they will break the boat

[torpid pike]

hello everyone

i just bought valheim, im about to try it for the first time.

[strange arrow]

good luck, and pick up everything around you you can first off, and listen to Hugin 🙂

[clever jolt]

good luck. take it slow, dont risk death

I started a new map last week for a game with me and my brother in law, and I have an exceptionally large starting island X_X its like 3x as big as the landmass as my first solo game

[devout anvil]

Howdy folks, I know this may be asked a lot but has there been any date set for the release of Ashlands?

[rain flare]

Welcome Viking!

[rain flare]

Still somewhere on the first half of the year

[fair cairn]

30% is still quite a bit lol

[mental ravine]

could someone help me recover my body on pc

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall!

[fair cairn]

hi

[toxic rose]

Grit your teeth and run naked to the corpse. If everything is too bad, then put on the things of the previous tier and take the most important thing from the corpse.
If all is bad then go to #1024264966712340510 and ask help.

[mental ravine]

its on the other side of the ocean super far away

[fair cairn]

in #1024264966712340510 is a group that recover bodies
i think body recovery squad

[fair cairn]

also, you should always carry a portal with you

[toxic rose]

Always put portals when arrive to new islands. Also should have enough resources for rescuing ship.

[opal prairie]

My tin of yous is empty and I won't be replacing it because I'm not eating any candy, biscuits, chips and such.
Trying to lose some weight and centimeters in the pants area so I'll fit into my wedding attire again.

[mental ravine]

i did i got overwhelemed when trying to even get a portal down

[toxic rose]

Which biome?

[mental ravine]

swamp

[toxic rose]

Portal on immortal tree or crypts the best safe places

[crude yacht]

Always carry a portal, unless you are playing with no portals. 😋

[mental ravine]

#valheim-chat message

[crude yacht]

I like to aggro a few trolls and lead them into the swamp as a distraction.

But also, don't go at night...things can get hectic in the swamp at night if you aren't well geared and supplied.

If things get really out of hand you can always ||turn enemies passive grab your stuff and then turn the option off after|| ...it is a little like cheating but otherwise you have to embrace the frustration or just grind a new set of items. Losing your gear is part of the Valheim experience. 😉

I just started a new no map, no portals world...built a small base near the starting circle and then promptly wandered off and got lost for two hours. Finally managed to find my way back...any tips for finding your way around without a map?

[opal prairie]

Leave breadcrumbs.
aka small markers that lead you home.
Make or find landsmarks.
Look at the sky and if you can see the world tree you can try navigating like that.

[odd marsh]

Ill start eating those breadcrumbs

[opal prairie]

Is Peevish a little bit peckish?

[odd marsh]

Ohhh very i am indeed

I just had lunch but idk maybe some eyescream will fix it

[jagged elk]

If I turn off the firewall, will it help me to remove the failed to connect error?

[spare grove]

Its safer that you dont turn it off if you dont really know what you are doing

[twin bear]

Does anybody know of any large EU communities with portals disabled?

[lyric olive]

Why would you want to do that

[twin bear]

I can't stand portals. Imo they don't fit in well with the game and I prefer exploration

[near furnace]

A true viking

[odd marsh]

Time to turnoff portals and carry metals by boat

[twin bear]

Yeah having to transport goods is more fun imo

[odd marsh]

Truueee

I want that butt clenching moments where i have to fight for my life to keep my boat safe

[opal prairie]

You train your glutes while sailing!

[neat tendon]

I wonder if there will be Northern lights in the Deep North 🤔

[uncut bough]

I just planted barley in meadows, and i regret it

My hard earned 2 barley

[timid ore]

I did the same thing at first 😂

[opal prairie]

Been there, done that won't do it again. Also did it with flax and other vegetables that don't grow in other biomes.

[uncut bough]

Luckily i did not plant the 8 flax i got

[uncut bough]

I think that up to onion it still grows in meadows right

Well i guess i will inhabit the fulings village i raided and plant the crop there

Do the fulings respawn here ?

Or once i wiped out the fulings village it is now mine to have and i can just set up shop here

[halcyon blade]

My first time planting flax/barley was really unfortunate because I did so in the meadows, but there was a plains biome right nearby.

[merry pebble]

i usually just make a big patch of farming land in plains since everything exept mistlands stuff grows there 😄

[uncut bough]

I am not ready to live in plains yet

[merry pebble]

you dont need to live there 😄 i just have a big rectangle of farmland and portal next to it

[opal prairie]

Correct meadows supports carrots, turnips and onions.
Plains support those and barley and flax.
Fuling villages won't respawn but fulings do spawn in the night and roam around, so you might encounter fulings there.
So base defense and spawn proofing is certainly needed in the plains.

[opal prairie]

Same here, with a portal to the mistlands farm once I've set it up.

[late coral]

I have been playing NoMap for a few weeks now. But with No Boss Portals, 2X enemy damage, 70% player damage... and Normal Deaths.

To Navigate around continents, use paths and Torches. Put 2 torches on either end of a zone where you can see, to act as signals for travel as well as to see the straightest path between 2 locations.

I also set 2 portals: #1 when I land on the continent, so I can find my boat and not have to sail if I lose #2, and #2 is my traveling portal which I keep with me, and for sleeping.

[lyric olive]

They definitely make it easier to return to a base when wondering.

[late coral]

The game world is too impossibly huge to not have Portals or fast travel. Plus they fit in with the magic in the game. Most adult players already have trouble with the excessive grind of the game. A few 20 minute sailing trips are fine. But to rehash those journeys again and again would just be tedious.

[regal spoke]

Always forwards never backwards. When playing no-map+no-portal, it make sense to play nomadic. Bring your progress forward.

[rain flare]

I love the portal system 🤩

Is so 100% Nordic mythology with those tree root like structures we’ve been using

[regal spoke]

I'm not keen on Norse mythology so I'll take your word for it

[odd helm]

With how central Yggdrasil is to everything, it makes sense

[opal prairie]

Kinda reminds me of the bifrost.

[uncut bough]

damn the boneass fight was harder than i thought

i basically had to cheese by standing on the offering skull and swing heavy attack of mace on its face

i can't go toe to toe against it since the attack is hard to parry, hits hard af, its minion started swarming me and compounding the rain effect slows the healing down by a lot

[opal prairie]

Yeah it is a big step up from eikthyr and elder.
After a few times you will learn when you can hit and when you need to get away, how to handle the adds and so on.

[uncut bough]

i defeated it in the most unsatisfying way ever, only thanks to cheesing and a lot of potion did i manage to fight it

but well i hope other bosses wont be as annoying as this one where there are so many disadvantages stacked against me

[terse spruce]

Valheim Ashland’s release date?

[light moat]

Sometime in the first half of this year, so within about 3 months. In case you haven’t heard, the first public test beta got released, so progress is being made 🙂

[opal prairie]

Uehm, I'm afraid you might not like the plains boss, ||there won't be any adds though, unless you forget to clear the surrounding first.||

[regal spoke]

Spicy meatballs for everyone ☄

I think boss area prep is often overlooked with the first few bosses. By 4,5,6 most would likely have it dialed.

See it rather often complained about with 2 & 3. Getting 3rd partied by adds and the chaos that ensues

[light moat]

I’ve always used close quarters against Bonemass. When he summons skeletons and blobs, they’re easily killed with a proper weapon. Honestly the combo poison resist mead and an iron mace, the boss is one of the easier ones.

[regal spoke]

I remember year one bonemass. Much easier now.

[opal prairie]

After the first time and once you are further into the game you can indeed handle it like that but the first time leaves many people floundering, I was one of the flounders.

[regal spoke]

Raises arm and lowers head. Also a fish out of water in first experience. Took my son and I hours to get bone down.

[hot fern]

if you're looking for more challenge, hard or veryhard mode are very nice. bonemass is no longer as simple as normal 🙂

[regal spoke]

Orrr just spawn multiple 😉

[light moat]

My first time, I used an iron sword 😵‍💫
Still got him though, just took awhile lol.

[regal spoke]

Heh relatable

[slate glacier]

I either use frost arrows or a combo of iron sword stab/stab-roll (mass itself) and atgier aoe (minions), usually works quite well.

yes, technically maces are higher singlehit dph, but I am a sword person until the mist.

give me a flail and I'll change my mind. maybe

[light moat]

Nice, sounds like a pretty good setup. Yeah I totally understand, sometimes I prefer using a weapon that is less effective just because it’s my weapon of choice. That’s why I used Frostner on Moder in my most recent playthrough lol.

[opal prairie]

Next playtrough is dagger, maces and bows till magic staves.

[slate glacier]

dagger/bow is fun. I use those a lot earlygame.

[light moat]

I really want to use axes at some point.

Just because axes look cool 😅

[slate glacier]

axes are probably doable, very cheap, avoids wasting time in bronze age.

[regal spoke]

I'd like to petition for thrown items not to be auto pickup by other players.

[opal prairie]

Splitting wood or splitting heads, it's all the same.

[slate glacier]

absolutely!

I love the downwards chop honestly.

[opal prairie]

So good to clear out stumps and for those pesky mobs that stand lower than you.

[light moat]

I told myself I was going to use the crystal battleaxe on this playthrough, but I ended up skipping it sadly.

[slate glacier]

might make the potentially stupid decision to use one on my hard run.

[regal spoke]

Axe is definitely viable into late game. Rof is the only challenge. Especially compared to other sh weapons

Trying to dps certain mobs with axe during optimal windows specifically

[naive vessel]

Hey guyyss, help, If the Ashlands update comes out, will I be able to play in my already created world? Or will I need to create a new world?

[merry pebble]

yes you will be, but if you explored some ashlands already you may not be able to get all the content it brings

[naive vessel]

Wooow, thankss, i wont explore there

[solid crown]

So the devs said the new Ashlands map gen after release will be smaller and not border any other biomes but the ocean, how will this effect current Ashlands maps that are currently bordering black forests?

Will the current Ashlands maps, if unexplored, be changed into ocean? Will the land mass remain the same but get populated with new Ashlands structures?

[exotic cradle]

It's gonna split up basically, about 100 meters from your current border. It's gonna separate and be its own thing, so you will need to go there again, and anything you have built will just be destroyed pretty much.

[merry pebble]

the coastline will be basically pushed back as i understand it

and stuff you have built there may/will be destroyed or altered in some way

[solid crown]

So say there was a Black Forest bordering the Ashlands, sometimes the border is kind of a straight line, you’re saying the Black Forest that was there will remain 100% as is but the Ashlands will be moved/ turned into ocean?

[merry pebble]

kinda? i don´t think we have much detailed info on it unfortunately

[solid crown]

My group is debating wether to start a seed now in hopes to be ready for Ashlands or wait until it’s officially released.

Sounds like if we want to be 100% sure there is no awkwardness with map generation, we should wait.

[merry pebble]

just dont explore near the ashlands and you will be fine 😄

[uncut bough]

So now I have defeated boneass, what kits do i need to start climbing mountain

[solid crown]

But that’s the thing, will it be fine? If the devs are intending for it to be its own island, we don’t want to potentially mess with that vision.

[merry pebble]

basically just the gear you used to defeat him and ffrost resistance mead

[opal prairie]

Me and my buddy are waiting to start a new world and will be doing a completely new run through after ashland hits.

[uncut bough]

Should i craft iron sledge

[torpid mango]

Anything new about ashlands?

[merry pebble]

no, still first half of this year

[uncut bough]

Only olds about ashlands

[torpid mango]

Alr

[merry pebble]

as long as you leave the ashlands alone you really should be fine 😄 but if you feel safer waiting you can for sure do that

[opal prairie]

Didn't they twitter something recently?

[uncut bough]

Didnt they Xeet something recently

[merry pebble]

spoilers ||the red vines?||

[opal prairie]

If you want, I didn't bother with it but if you like that kinds of weapon, go for it.

[uncut bough]

Is that one of the devs reacting to someone says blink twice if ashland march and he reacted just that?

[opal prairie]

Yeah that, that's new ashlands news, no?

[merry pebble]

should be 😄

[uncut bough]

Well i dont but i had too many dragur elite trophy

also now that i triggered the brenner maybe the iron sledge will help me fend of multiple skeletons at once

[grave wagon]

I don't think it's particularly useful in the mountains given the enemies you'll encounter there

[opal prairie]

It looks nice on a wall if nothing else.

[uncut bough]

at least i can keep the sledge and when the skeleton raids come, i can smash em to bits

[frozen scarab]

Bro pick up an iron sword, higher than level 2 if possible

Worst thing about the mountains are the wolves

They are very quick, so a quick weapon is a better choice

[uncut bough]

i got iron sword level 3, iron atgeir level 3, iron mace level 5

the banded shield level 2

[opal prairie]

I prefer bows for wolves, get to a safe plinking spot and dispose of them.

[frozen scarab]

Do you got a strong bow too?

[merry pebble]

mace is also good as it has the same speed as sword 😉

[uncut bough]

i got a weak bow, if that helps

just a feeble huntsman bow level 2, nothing to praise for

[merry pebble]

thats not too bad 😄

[uncut bough]

no, that is bad

it is not good because it is not the level 4 kill everything bow so it is bad

[frozen scarab]

Well, in mountains your bow will be your best friend

[frigid gust]

Other than drakes, I generally prefer the iron mace in the Mountains. It's effective against every enemy, especially the Golems.

[grave wagon]

The harpoon is my favorite against the golems. Just drag them down the mountain quick 😄

[frigid gust]

But then you don't get the crystals... roll into them, uppercut with the mace, and dismantle them. Takes no time.

[grave wagon]

That's true, I don't usually use the crystals much

[opal prairie]

If I'm mining in the mountains I'll make a small pit nearby to trap golems in.

[uncut bough]

wait why don't you get the crystal for killing golems ?

[opal prairie]

If you yeet golems of the mountain with the harpoon you don't get it, because they are still alive, just not on the mountain anymore.

[frigid gust]

You do. I'm saying if you just drag them off and DON'T kill them you don't get the crystal

Enemies also don't take fall damage, which makes me sad 😦

[opal prairie]

Yeah, if we get fall damage they should get it as well.
Maybe not for ticks, since most of the time they'd go splut after the gjall releases them.

[pure current]

Hi me and my friend has been in mistlands for a wile now, but I'm still using the frostner. Is it good to switch to mistwalker (i really like the ability to slow down enemies.)
My sword skill is 0 and my club is 22

[hollow wing]

the king benaetth the mountain

[hollow wing]

i like himminafl a lot, its a spear and it has a similar effect to frostner

[pure current]

Ok but I need a one handed too.

Frost vs mist

[odd helm]

Mistwalker is really nice

[pure current]

Does it also have the slow down ability

[odd helm]

Even at sword skill 0 it should deal more slash/frost damage than frostner's bludgeon/frost

Yeah

[rich ice]

I use Frostner and Mistwalker both. Mistwalker for running around in the Mistlands, Frostner in infested caverns to keep the enemies off me.

[pure current]

Thanks see yah. Going yo get a new sword

[hollow wing]

my most used weapon is mistlands is the fire staff, nothing really compares

[opal prairie]

Exactly, together with the dead raiser and the staff of protection.

[paper marsh]

Yea magic is just OP

You could prob go the whole game without getting hit if just using OP weapons like bow, atgeir, and magic

Damn is it fun to use magic tho

Like surfing on a gjall then gliding off it with feather cape while launching fireballs or ice shards back at the gjall, or at the enemies below

[thin fulcrum]

As OP as they are, I wish the magic weapons had secondary attacks or functions like the Dvergr have.

[merry pebble]

put it in suggestions 😄

[paper marsh]

It’s been suggested a lot before

It would be cool if they had some more functionality and also got nerfed like hell (or at least, if Ashlands made magic less useful with resistances or some such)

I’m also on the “nerf or rework atgeir secondary ability and half bow skill perks” gang tho

[mossy lance]

it would be cool if you could do magic a bit earlier in the game

[paper marsh]

Eh, I kinda like the big reward of getting it once you get through mistlands

[pure atlas]

Turnips 😭

[hollow wing]

yeah

[hearty niche]

I asked in #valheim-public-test cuz I'm not sure if it's always been here.

Very Hard combat difficulty. Greydwarves aggro'd on me in and pursued me on an epic cross-continent trek and wouldn't give up.

Is that new?

[hollow wing]

i really hope some sort of sorcerers are added to the black forest once you have defeated yagluth

[hearty niche]

There was a brute among them that did give up

[crude yacht]

Quick question: do your corpse markers ever despawn? (assuming you don't ever remove all of the loot on them?)

[plush umbra]

wasn't this server hacked

good to see it back

[vocal rivet]

Weeks ago, yeah.

[plush umbra]

how does one even recover it

[north umbra]

No, they stay until you delete them

[odd helm]

The server itself wasn't deleted, multiple channels had to be recreated and permissions/roles sorted.

[crude yacht]

Thanks, sorry, let me clarify. I meant more the physical ones in the game and not just the marks on your map. If I go out wandering and pickup a lot of precious cargo, and then die, do I have a limited time to get back to my corpse before all of it disappears or does it just stay in the game until someone loots it all?

[north umbra]

Same thing, they stay until all items are removed

[balmy cove]

Oh this server got raided? 😭

[crude yacht]

@north umbra Thanks!

No map, no portal...corpse markers make excellent waypoints. 🤣

[north umbra]

Could build a road network and put sign posts up lol

[merry pebble]

it was, but now its back and stronger than ever 😄

[balmy cove]

Well good. 😄

[terse spruce]

thanks

[uncut bough]

after discovering the swamp’s own bunsen burner, i now have the “i dont want to play with you anymore” moment with charcoal kiln

Why burn wood for coal when you can have unlimited coal glitch risk free

[worn crow]

whats poppin

[uncut bough]

Popcorn

[frigid gust]

I take it you dug down around it so it'd farm itself? 😉

[uncut bough]

No, i raised it up with hoe so when it falls down it touches water

[night aspen]

heading for first time Modar 🙂

[frigid gust]

Gotcha. It's generally easier to use the pick and just leave the whole thing a pool. You can't extinguish the spawner by digging it out.

[uncut bough]

Anyways now i have too many surtling core and coal

Which makes dungeon and charcoal kiln worthless

[hot fern]

time to setup the ultimate portal chain 🙂

[frigid gust]

Try putting a surtling core in your hotbar and using it on a campfire 😉

[uncut bough]

I will be compressing these 150 coals into obliterator, and thor will bless me with 15 super compressed coal

Deal of all time, im tellin ya

[frigid gust]

Seriously, before you obliterate your extra surtling cores make sure you see what they do on a fire. It's worthwhile.

[ornate sentinel]

Good lord, I had been in this server forever but always forgot to take care of that bloody Discord account duplication shenanigans 😅

Howdy, folks!

[hot fern]

welcome back \o/

[frigid gust]

Account duplication you say... how do we know you're REALLY who you say you are? 🤨

[fleet cliff]

what do you mean Discord account duplication shenanigans

[unreal barn]

How do I join the PTB chat?

[odd helm]

Tick 'I want to be a public tester' in the Channels & Roles tab at the top of the channel list.

[frigid gust]

You can actually link to id:customize same way you do any channel. Just learned that the other day.

[odd helm]

Couldn't find a way to do it in mobile~

[frigid gust]

Start typing with a # and put in the channel name and it should pop up some auto-complete Damn. Discord mobile is lame. Never mind.

[light moat]

Lol just tried it, discord mobile is lame

[odd helm]

Yeah, it works for every channel except channels & roles

They'll fix it at some point, hopefully

[ornate sentinel]

Apparently, there's a glitch with account creations at times where you can get your account duplicated, but one will have just your cell phone number and the other will have your email address.

Don't ask me how or why that happens 🤷

[fleet cliff]

oh

[loud valve]

Likely because you can create an account with just one or the other and the code is mistakenly treating them as separate when you create an account with both

[paper marsh]

Like the fuling shamans?

[hollow wing]

i think the lower biomes probably need to be a bit more dangerous, at least at night.

[vocal rivet]

That's why we have the raids.

[loud valve]

You can customize the world to your preferences

[frigid gust]

Or the Greydwarf shamans that already exist?

[chilly forge]

Play on hardcore world preset

[hollow wing]

raids are weak

[ember panther]

Nighttime filings roam the biomes don't they?

[chilly forge]

Yes, so do Seekers when you defeat the Queen

[vocal rivet]

I will never understand the desire to make earlier biomes relevant later on (especially when we have gameplay that already does that anyway).

[hollow wing]

i dont know the desire but the devs said something about non linear progression

now you take from that what you will
