valheim-chat

[vocal rivet]

Well, from what you've been saying, it seems like YOUR desire.

[ember panther]

Yea its more like this 📈

[vocal rivet]

And the game can be played in pretty much any order you want theoretically. Yes, it's designed linearly but there's very little gatekeeping.

[hollow wing]

well sure but after 1.0 is hit this game probably end up dead as a result of that

[vocal rivet]

And?

Games aren't intended to be played forever.

[hollow wing]

i guess

[lusty crescent]

Games like minecraft can be tho

[vocal rivet]

This isn't that though.

[hollow wing]

well this is a game like minecraft. but not the same.

in minecraft i dont feel the need to kill the ender dragon, i just do whatever i need to do and build.

[loud valve]

You can customize the game in an almost infinite amount of ways. If you don't like something, mod it to what you like.

[hollow wing]

i dont really care, but after you defeat the queen this game gets boring just like that

[chilly forge]

Do it again, but on a hardcore world fresh

[loud valve]

If your only goal is to progress and kill bosses, what did you think would happen when you finish killing the last boss?

[lusty crescent]

Make a megabase
It's similar to mc in that way

[vocal rivet]

Then you stop playing? That's how games work?

[hollow wing]

but that is anyone's goal that is why the playerbase returns and dies back after every major update

[hollow wing]

i have done that

[loud valve]

Players play for different reasons. Major patches and campaigns bring influx of players in almost any game. Look at Monster Hunter World. They had a huge influx of players with no content update.

[chilly forge]

Pretty much, mod it or stop playing. Find other things to play.

Go outside in the real world

[hollow wing]

take it easy

[thin fulcrum]

It’s okay to get bored and try other things. Some developers even vocalize this because they know progress will be slow.

I exhausted my creative juices for now so I’m playing other things.

I wish I could be a gamer that beats something like Elden Ring 809 times but I’m not 🤷🏻‍♀️

[exotic cradle]

can't relate, never quit valheim

[loud valve]

You just need to be able to beat it 30s faster each time. Show your improvement.

[wheat vault]

when does ashland come out?

[vocal rivet]

First half of this year.

[wheat vault]

ty

then the wait aint even that long

[thin fulcrum]

Ashlands will release… soon™️

[exotic cradle]

just like a good bread, yall need to stop opening the oven door and let it bake to perfection

[languid root]

but in valheim it opens automatically as soon as you approach it 😕

[charred lake]

Valheim is full of surprises. I was looking for silver on the mountain - I opened up a hefty stone and a pile of earth - I dug up a corpse

[exotic cradle]

then stop approaching it

[lusty crescent]

Under the stairs 😔

[thin fulcrum]

Wow that is pretty rude, Randy was just sleeping. 🤣

[charred lake]

He was sleeping for too long

[torpid pike]

I tried valheim last night for the first time

Now im addicted

these indie companies always have me in a chokehold....

[exotic cradle]

Welcome to the dark side, we have 🌸

[lusty crescent]

One may say too much 🌸
Not enough 🌸

[languid root]

i'm sure it's not that serious..

[exotic cradle]

it's serious, and don't call me sure

[lunar sapphire]

you weren't called sure? am confusion

[languid root]

I mean they bought the game, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash into it.

[frigid gust]

I resemble that remark

[uncut bough]

a day can't go by without someone asks when ashlands

[ornate sentinel]

Ashlands? In our Valheim server?!

[uncut bough]

ashlands is now as elusive as valve's 3rd game for each IPs

[uncut bough]

no it is drylands

[ornate sentinel]

So it is Plain to see.

[vocal rivet]

It's not remotely that elusive. We've seen screenshots and videos of it.

[uncut bough]

i was joking

but i mean given everyone and their mother has asked ask least once "when ashlands" , it isnt that nonsensical to make that joke

[vocal rivet]

No, it's pretty nonsensical

[ember panther]

Ashlands when

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-patience-cat-cute-pets-gif-5544229

[merry pebble]

a bit later now that you ask

[ember panther]

https://tenor.com/view/noooooooooo-gif-22984243

Would it be worth exploring the unfinished Ashlands for those rocks? I got an old world with webbed out mistlands already. Just never made it that far south

[paper marsh]

More so Very Hard I’d say. Hardcore doesn’t add much difficulty

[torpid pike]

Whens Ashlands

[exotic cradle]

Guess

[rapid bison]

April 1st?

[vocal rivet]

it's not worth exploring any of Ashlands right now.

[latent wraith]

Unless you specifically want to save some pre-update Ashlands as a relic.

[light moat]

Did you do that? 😏

[latent wraith]

No but I'm considering doing it.

[copper orbit]

So, we'll be able to ||grow red vines in the Ashlands||. I hope this means we'll be able to ||grow green vines in the Meadows|| too. 🎉

[light moat]

Might want to put some spoilers around that 🙂

Oh hey, I watch your videos a lot!

[copper orbit]

good suggestion

[exotic cradle]

🤞

[near furnace]

haha ||you have to wait to try that yourself|| 😄

[copper orbit]

Sooooo excited to try!!!

[near furnace]

😄

[azure yacht]

"We move forwards, not backwards"

[light moat]

I remember this 😂

[azure yacht]

Pepperridge farm remembers

[strange arrow]

when i first saw it i thought the wood was burning xD

[dawn mirage]

If not I will add the functionality to them In PlantEverything

[uncut bough]

i maxed out my every iron weapons, do i need to grind more iron?

there are like 3 crypts i just found out and idk if i should explore

now there are 4

[light moat]

I’d say it’s worth it to keep a small stockpile of iron, maybe like 100-150?

[solid knoll]

How do you take off hud on Xbox

[paper marsh]

Yea I’d follow Doggmons advice. Iron has some good uses later on in the game too

[vocal rivet]

LB + Start, I think.

[flint knot]

I just wanted to share a little event with you: we were playing with my wife and we attacked a fuling camp, we were starting to get quite high level (for the plains) so we got a little overconfident and went too far into the camp...it was starting to get dark as well...in short, the whole village came out and chased us, several brutes, some shamans, at least fifteen fulings.
We split up trying to get away, I come across a herd of lox (three) and they give chase...I see the meadow next door but I also see fulings patrolling with their torches and a few mosquitoes, I decide to take refuge on a large rock instead...I thought I was safe at last when suddenly the "you're being hunted" event triggered... but the wolves and plains creatures are hostile to each other, starting the most anarchic scene ever seen in this game (I ended up dying because a lox somehow managed to climb onto my rock and eject me into the mix)
It was really incredible this game is so much fun, we absolutely love it.

[pliant hatch]

Hmmm. Training blocking on Eikthyr is fun. 😄

[uncut bough]

bruh the wishbones guided me to a...necklace

[vocal rivet]

Nice.

[lusty crescent]

Wish you could put it on

And enchant it like skyrim🔥

[lyric remnant]

spoiler for ashlands

||Some thing that ive been wondering about the new dungeons (castles) is if they will be habitable once we raid them, almost like a trophy to show off as a base. Im assuming it will also have a no build effect, but will the effect still be around once it has been fully raided?||

[halcyon thistle]

maybe, ||the no build could be an effect from a ward that once destroyed you can do whatever||

[lyric remnant]

it would be sweet if that was the case,|| but there are situations that it was just restricted with no ward, like the fuling tower and spawn area||

[lusty crescent]

That would be awesome

[uncut bough]

note to self: fire slinging mob exists in mountain

[light moat]

Finally beat Yagluth today. Gotta say, wisps are really cool!

[uncut bough]

man i cant rely on this root set anymore, now that i met "cultist"

anymore and i will burn to a crisp

[kind pelican]

Time to swap to mountain light armor

[light moat]

Awww is the wisplight a reference to the wisp in the bottle in Terraria? This little fella is so cool!

[vocal rivet]

No.

[light moat]

Ah, coincidence then I suppose 😅 they’re extremely similar.

[vocal rivet]

The wisp as a concept is thousands of years old.

[uncut bough]

Problem is i havent hunted enough wolf

I had only killed 3, and just found a silver vein

[light moat]

I just want to follow this little fella around forever

[uncut bough]

Goddamn is the silver heavy, and plentiful, but mostly heavy

[light moat]

Ah, makes sense

[vocal rivet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will-o'-the-wisp

[kind pelican]

Just keep going to those caves
Silver heavy armor is good too but I would make the silver bow first, butcher block, fang spear or silver club if you found trader

[light moat]

Well shoot, you really do learn something everyday. This, this I like.

[paper marsh]

Wear no chest piece or use iron or troll

Root is more of a detriment than a help in ice caves

[tacit bronze]

looking for a few players to kill 2 queens in one vault. lmk if youre down!

[lyric remnant]

When and is there anything in particular i should know before going in?

[tacit bronze]

my friend and I are facing them rn. not much just that my foolish friend accidentally spawned another queen.

[chilly forge]

My friend accidently cheesed Queen ai with Skeles in entrance, made me sad cause she just stood by the wall.

[tacit bronze]

valheim easy mode lol

[autumn granite]

Anyone got a spare blackmetal axe or magic staff items?

[tacit bronze]

tried it and it worked like a charm

[mystic gale]

Up to how many players does the difficulty scale up? If im going to kill a boss with like a group of 10 players is the boss going to be like a giga bullet sponge or super easy?

Is there a wiki article?

[teal flax]

hey all, does anybody use the "Valheim Cuisine" mod? Does it use vanilla-like textures? Looking for something seamless, going on a first playthrough and the lady wants more cooking options

[lunar sapphire]

That's a question for the #mods-discussion channel

[teal flax]

Thanks was looking for the mod channel

[lunar sapphire]

Any time 🤘

[teal flax]

is that the channel to discuss installing mods on a dedicated server? hosting off my server box at home.

[lunar sapphire]

The channel to discuss anything mod related, as Irongate don't officially support mods. If you have an issue with a mod then the #mods-issues channel is also the place

[teal flax]

Yeah I saw the bepinex loader and though "oh, this again" lol

[lunar sapphire]

Sounds like a fun game

[kind dove]

is public test for ashlands out ?

[merry pebble]

no

[teal flax]

does iron spawn in swamps like copper does?

[merry pebble]

well some is underground there, but most of it is in dungeons there 😄

[teal flax]

underground?

[merry pebble]

yeah, but it doesent pay off mining them so you should just focus on the crypts

[teal flax]

we just ran into a crypt and got our butts kicked, even wearing level 3/4 troll hide

[exotic cradle]

Stagbreaker it

[merry pebble]

i am pretty sure it was lvl3 since you cant make lvl 4 unless you have materials from mountains, but even then it should be enough

and what did kick your butt?

[teal flax]

we walked in, got poisoned, bunch of draugur were there, went outside, an archer was there. we both got out but from 140 to like, 20 or so it was very drama

[merry pebble]

hmm, poison mead, and maybe try to get them to start of the crypt, to the raised platform in front of entrance an kill them off there

[versed parcel]

Do we know anything about like

whether anything will be added outside of Ashlands content
like new items to previous biomes

[merry pebble]

nope

[versed parcel]

mmm

[jagged elk]

who fixed error ** failed to connect ** pls dm me

[limpid kindle]

Anybody else have there mouse pointer disappear in game ? what is this ! 😮

[near furnace]

not sure you should say out loud that you have a modified discord client 😉

[near furnace]

😄

man please have mercy ;-;

[vapid wyvern]

What happened to colored signs? They used to be perfectly visible.
Now some colours like orange or red are barely visible in the daylight and semi-visible in the night.
All colors also flicker when there's a thunderstorm outside.
https://i.imgur.com/zVR6R3w.png

[lusty crescent]

There were colored signs?

[vapid wyvern]

You can edit the text with HTML tags

For example, you can start writing a color code in a tag like this for red: <color=red> and then the text will be red

Or you can just use HEX color codes: <#ff000>

[rain flare]

You use coal to make the signs
Coloured signs make no sense

[ivory lynx]

anyone want to play tonight?

[exotic cradle]

It's now affected by SSAO, if you disable it it should be opaque again. It's not a perfect solution ofc, but it's something that got changed in Hildir's patch

[uncut bough]

I did not realize that the fire pit in frost cave has a chance of dropping copper when destroyed

After fighting my arse off i made sure to destroy everything out of pettiness, scorch earth the place, and then get a lot of fenris hair and Some copper for destroying some furnitures

[azure yacht]

Use other colors

[vapid wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-obvious-thank-you-superhero-super-hero-gif-9900289

[dense steppe]

and here comes the cavalry 😸

[near furnace]

I think we found this issue.
not that colored sign is a feature at all, but something that affects this, is becase something else we did.

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/aurora-novum-an-plagos-stoneworks-rathnir-gif-24231354

[vapid wyvern]

Helps a little bit, but then everything else looks like shit 😅

[dense steppe]

Horsemen of the Apocalypse 🙀

[exotic cradle]

I know! But if you need it for like a pic or something, it works ^^

[vapid wyvern]

Nah, making storage for daily use, thanks for the tip though

[vapid wyvern]

inb4 actual glowing colored signs with greydwarf eyes

[near furnace]

no ty 🥲

[vapid wyvern]

😢

[dense steppe]

😿

[vapid wyvern]

Surtling cores? 😬

[near furnace]

no no no

no colored sign by design 😄

[latent wraith]

Just use item stands and surtling cores to write really big glowing letters.

[dense steppe]

@latent wraithCan the core be mounted on a stand? 😺

[vapid wyvern]

Why stop there, let's use bonfires to make REALLY BIG GLOWING LETTERS

[exotic cradle]

No, but SURTLING trophies can

[lunar sapphire]

sultring?

[latent wraith]

I don't remember. Yeah, not apparently.
grumbles about everything oughing to be mountable.

[dense steppe]

burning heads 😼

[lunar sapphire]

I know it's Surtling 😛

[dense steppe]

some people speak english like engrish 😸

[exotic cradle]

And some people add cats to everything but you know 🤷‍♀️

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-launch-button-helmet-redbutton-gif-4812571

Launch into Caterdrive

[dense steppe]

Oh, I know one such extraordinary in every sense, comprehensively developed and simply soulful cat 😺

@exotic cradleI don’t make mistakes when writing just because I write through an automatic translator, I speak English, but I can’t write it without errors, the way of constructing sounds is too different from my native language 😹

[exotic cradle]

Yes but surtling isn't really a word

[languid root]

how do you know you don't make mistakes then?

[uncut bough]

holy cow the fulings pack a punch, i thought their tiny and primitive weapons wont be of serious issue

[dense steppe]

the main thing is to understand the meaning of what was said, and not how accurately someone wrote it 😸

[uncut bough]

also a Lox happens to spawn right in front of me while i try to escape plains toward Black forest, where it spawns just at the border of black forest. "Had to" hunt it in order to escape

[dense steppe]

didn't you have to wonder how such little kids survived in this cruel place? 😸

[uncut bough]

they got hard carried by beserker and shaman, that is all

[vocal rivet]

They're not children.

[clever torrent]

They're about as well-mannered as children, though. 😂

[dense steppe]

they are children of this world 😼

[vocal rivet]

Huh?

You know sentences don't need to end with a cat, right?

[dense steppe]

I won't argue with that 😸

[dense steppe]

I will definitely take this into account and use this knowledge responsibly 😼 👍

[rain flare]

But cat

[vocal rivet]

I have my doubts but at least I tried.

[rain flare]

Cat is cool

[rain flare]

Yeah no 😂

[dense steppe]

without cats this world would have died long ago 😸

[lunar sapphire]

Factually incorrect

Bees - without bees

especially valheim bees, such a useful resource

[dense steppe]

Without cats, mice would eat bees 😺

[lunar sapphire]

Valheim doesn't have mice

(paying attention to the channel we're chatting in)

[dense steppe]

because cats ate them 😸 in ancient times

[versed parcel]

true

[clever torrent]

It does when you play it with a mouse. 😜

[dense steppe]

it would be fun if there was a mouse at the base and ate the supplies 😺

[vocal rivet]

No it wouldn't.

[light moat]

Wondering if the huntsman bow will still be viable for mistalnds. Don’t have the draugr fang. Might just mean harder into melee.

[dense steppe]

make yourself a crossbow 😼

[rain flare]

Bows are shit in mistlands

Use the new one - spinesnap.

Anything else is dot only

The mistland bugs are too resistant to physical damage

So unless you have a hankering for killing dverger, leave the bow at home

[light moat]

Gotcha, yeah i plan on swapping to magic once I get it- thanks for the tip!

[rain flare]

Magic is the BEAST! 🤩🤩🤩

Regardless, you can’t kill stuff you can’t see 😂

The only problem is gjall
You need ranged for that

[latent wraith]

You can hear stuff though.

[rain flare]

But you can outrun them just as easily

[raw marsh]

in in mountains 😃

[latent wraith]

Wait... you?

[azure yacht]

Not exactly

Only some enemies make their presence obvious via sound

Most can sneak up on you

[torpid mango]

I play with a friend of mine who uses magic and... Yeah I always have a portal ready so he can comeback after getting hit by a fulling

[rain flare]

Evidently he is doing it wrong 😂😂😂

[azure yacht]

Using magic and getting killed by a fuling is skill issue.

Only one of the offensive staves is close-ranged

[torpid mango]

Regardless of that it deals a ton of damage

[rain flare]

Magic is amazing
You shouldn’t be killed by anything unless you are stupid

[azure yacht]

Dead raiser summons fight for you, shield actually protects you and fire balls are long-range

[rain flare]

Legit fireball is my panic button - see a tick throw fireballs at my feet 😂

[lunar sapphire]

I have a new fsacination during storms and night times now

Wisp collecting ⭐

[prime fjord]

how can i apply to be a playtester

[torpid mango]

My panic button is the destroyer (that hammer)

[lunar sapphire]

As in public tester?

react to the role at the bottom of the #rules-and-info channel 🤘

sorry, it's no longer there

I can assign you the role - ptb is the only testing role available so I'll assign that

[rain flare]

Speaking of, don’t think we say stuff like this without experience
I died like 4 times to the same ************ 2* tick that kept knackering me cause I was dumb enough to forget my magic shield 😭😭😭

[prime fjord]

Much appreciated!

[odd helm]

It's in the new Channels & Roles onboarding

[lunar sapphire]

that as well

[odd helm]

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

[prime fjord]

Copy

[torpid mango]

😭he just needs some practice

[lunar sapphire]

oh, thought you meant the mistlands ticks wanting to be a ptb

[torpid mango]

No way tick reference???!!!1!!

[rain flare]

You guys are silly 😂

[light moat]

Same! 100%! The wisps are so freaking cool! Did we both beat Yagluth last night within the past 24 hours?

[lunar sapphire]

We did! Myself for the first time, with help

[light moat]

Congrats! It’s been awhile since I fought him, he was a little tougher than I remember! But I got him 💪

[lunar sapphire]

For sure

[rain flare]

Noice man!

[lunar sapphire]

I only died due to a deathsquito chiming in and the meteor damage

I've been to mistlands legit on my last playthrough but hadn't killed bonemass or yagluth at that point

[light moat]

I had four growths join the fight, that was rough 😅

[lunar sapphire]

this time I've killed all bosses except queen

[rain flare]

I hate deathsquito’s 😂

[rain flare]

Dude…
That is so much worse than ruff 😅😅😅

[torpid mango]

When I was fighting yagluth I was mid at this game so I died +/- 20 times

[lunar sapphire]

Ouch

[torpid mango]

And even needed to add myself some potions. But going with a lvl 1 armor and sword wasn't a good idea too

[light moat]

I had to do some advance maneuvering with the finger towers, I was using Frostner which could reliably one-shot them with its secondary attack. Luckily I learned that even when you’re tarred, you can roll to move quicker. Thank Odin for stamina mead.

[half dragon]

Praise fat rolling!

[light moat]

Hopefully 🤞 I’ll be able to check out mistalnds this evening.

[torpid mango]

I hate mistlands. It's not because it's hard or something I hope ashlands are even harder but my computer can't keep up with the mist

[rain flare]

I wish I could watch

It’s the best biome in my opinion 🥰
The music, ambience, aesthetic

All so much WOW!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[plush umbra]

plains is better imo the mist can get annoying in the mistlands lol

[rain flare]

That’s the point 😂

But I love it’s magical feel 🥰
Nothing quite so magical as making a base above the mists - especially during a storm

[regal spoke]

Or finding little clearings in the mist

[plush umbra]

finding small mountains that just go up above the mist is pretty cool

[dense steppe]

or listen to the rustle of wings and the creaking of mandibles in the mist 😸

[rain flare]

Only sounds I hate are the gurgles of gjall 😭😭😭

ESPECIALLY next to my base 😓

[regal spoke]

Poor hare seem scared senseless by storms. But the storms Sildarflame mentioned. Chefs kiss

[dense steppe]

don't build a base near their spawn 😼

[rain flare]

I’ll share pics of my 3 main bases I made 🤩

[rain flare]

Spawn proofing INTENSIFIES INTENSIVELY!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

I also love taking over the dverger structures around the mistlands boss

So good for a base 🤩

[regal spoke]

I've yet to build a main base in the mist. But I still enjoy my repurposed mine building on an island chain.

[merry pebble]

spawn proofing in mistlands can be very chalenging 😄

[rain flare]

But worth it 🥰

[dense steppe]

you can build rooms right at the entrance to the queen's palace 😸

[lunar sapphire]

Beige/cream cushion over here, grey couch over there, bookshelf goes here and perfect!
I love the house I made!

[frigid gust]

There's a small wood wall if you look closely in the stairwell. Easy access even without a stonecutter.

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-made-creator-stolen-gif-20229431

[uncut bough]

I have decided that imma just do wolf hunting and silver mining before going into frost caves

The fire attack is just a no go, i am not dealing with that

[dense steppe]

make a potion of fire resistance 😼

[uncut bough]

barley has entered the chat

that's like saying "go to an even harder biome" to defeat this biome

[dense steppe]

ahhh, you haven't been to the plains yet, I just ran there naked when I started playing, grabbed everything I could and ran back 😹

[lusty crescent]

W

[uncut bough]

no i have been to plains, i got some barleys already but i am not willing to run that far into plains

i dont want to end up dead in the middle of nowhere and then having to run the gauntlet of Deathsquito again when i come baack to retrieve my corpse

[ember panther]

Frost caverns aren't even necessary to passing through the mountains. My original playthrough didn't have them. However, there are often a lot of places you can lure the cultists to and just shoot them with arrows. I did it in troll hide n a fine wood bow

[dense steppe]

so go there without any things, test your stamina, place a portal on the border of the plains, put your things at the base and run like the wind 😹

[ember panther]

Sneak is very good in caverns too

[dense steppe]

@uncut boughIf you have barley, why don't you plant it in a secluded place? 😼

[uncut bough]

such as?

[merry pebble]

some little plains island? 😄

[dense steppe]

a small peninsula, or fence a small piece of plains with an earthen wall, and no one will be able to spoil your harvest 😼

[half dragon]

I recommend moats. They're better than fence as permanent solution since fences can break occasionally.

[frigid gust]

If you've got a root harnesk you don't even need to worry about the skeeters

[half dragon]

but obviously... moats take a bit more time to make

A lot if you want it to look good

[dense steppe]

the earthen wall is indestructible 😼

[dense steppe]

#screenshots message

[half dragon]

oh that kind of "fence"

those work too, for sure

just more expensive than just digging the ground since that is basically free. I've had best results when doing a bit of both, to raise the ground around edges of my lands and digging outside of it to lower the ground.

Looks pretty decent and doesn't block the view

[autumn granite]

Would anyone be willing to help me get some spellcasting items? Ideally the skull and the staff of protection?

[odd helm]

Hiya, for direct ingame help like this you'll want to make a thread in #1024264966712340510

[regal spoke]

But is it square with the terrain mapping. For aesthetics ofc

[half dragon]

sec... it's easier to just doodle on paint to show what it rougly looks like

ahhh nvm we can't post pictures here lol

[dense steppe]

send screenshots to the section and post the link here 😼

#screenshots message

[half dragon]

problem is... I deleted the world that had that base just some time ago... because I tend to do that every time I restart a game after a long break

But I still remember what it looked like, roughly

[dense steppe]

I have a similar base, I’ll show you and you can tell whether it’s true or not 😸

[ember panther]

I built somethin similar, although not a moat, just dug at the outside of raised earth wall to make it more steep

[half dragon]

it's basically a half moat. Looks like a moat at the side of my base, but I went out of my way to make it look like a riberbank on the other side to make view from my base better

[dense steppe]

@half dragon#screenshots message

[half dragon]

Does look very similar to what I did. Mine just was less like a square... mostly to save time building it all lol

the moat itself looked like this (on the side facing inland):

||||\___...¨¨¨¨

[dense steppe]

I'll go in now and take more accurate screenshots 😼 👍

[languid root]

greydwarves seeing books for the first time

[half dragon]

Look I'm trying my best here 😂

Those lights look real nice. my sea side of the base was basically small harbor for my boats and a warehouse to store goods

[dense steppe]

#screenshots message

@half dragonI will raise the ground to the level of the walls, making the base level itself higher 😼

[half dragon]

Just noticed the map and oh damn how good location that is to build a secure base

It's looking great

[dense steppe]

#screenshots message built it in his spare time from traveling 😹

[regal spoke]

No-map question. Do we maintain the same direction we were pointed at while in the dungeon upon exit, regardless of dungeon type? Question based on reading our characters get turned differently in varying dungeons. I've found Elder multiple times. Just need to know my tracking will work moving forward

[strange arrow]

get out the build hammer and a wood beam when you hit a veg inside a dungeon to keep the orientation when you exit

[regal spoke]

I read somewhere that entering dungeons changes the direction we faced.

[rain flare]

So basically is the entrance of the dungeon facing the same way as the inside of the dungeon?

[rain flare]

This works

[regal spoke]

Right. See that's my confusion. Now I will say. Even if this is the case. It doesn't matter for bf dungeons. Click the veg, wait for camera adjust, align build piece. Maintain that direction on exit and have found Elder multiple times.

[heady parcel]

Would it be possible to make the pickaxe useable while swimming, I'm losing my mind dredging a canal

Or at least just not auto-shoulder the cursed thing

[regal spoke]

Just based on reading our direction is changed when entering dungeons. Lead me to assume, I need to adjust my alignment based on directional change. Doesn't seem to be the case.

[rain flare]

No no, north stays as north and south stays as south
You don’t have to do anything funny after exiting

[regal spoke]

Oh OK tyvm for the insight

[paper marsh]

Build pieces should always be accurate because no matter what way you're turned when entering a dungeon, your build piece won't turn as you enter/exit. I mean the dungeon is the same place in the world and the directions work the same, you're just high up in the sky

It's just disorienting if you as a player have to try and keep track of a direction after being turned around

[regal spoke]

For sake of conversation. This is what I'm referring to.
#screenshots message

Seems to be misinformation or misleading as I've not had it be relevant to tracking accurately. I followed it once and went 180 opposite of where I should have. Maintaining build piece direction on exit has been on point

Thanks again for input. This had my head frazzled for a bit

[regal spoke]

How's navigation been coming along in your server. I know your group is making great progress.

[uncut bough]

i overhunted and overstockpiled on cooked meat so much, that i can't get rid of all the deer stew and minced meat sauce

[lusty crescent]

Thor is hungry

[uncut bough]

so now i am legit bringing them to explore mountain, hopefully that will not bite me in the arse

[paper marsh]

pretty good. Going to mistlands soon so we'll see how that navigation goes. I'm hoping Germ is able to get on tonight and then we'll kill Moder together so I can get my 6 stacks of blackmetal smelted

[uncut bough]

never! i will never throw food away

[lusty crescent]

Thor is gonna be grateful

[uncut bough]

thor is grateful enough when i give him 500 beech seed

[regal spoke]

I've been placing compasses all over. I feel like these will be even more useful in the mist

[paper marsh]

good idea yea

[frigid gust]

Y'all talking nomap in the mists?

[uncut bough]

while sailing, i see some sort of tree or something branching from the sky

if i follow that i should reach mistland right?

[regal spoke]

Another thing I started doing. Make a compass outside of a dungeon with a veg. Then come out with my boss aligned piece. Snap it to the compass. Gives me a frame of reference. What direction I'm heading in relation to cardinal directions

[frigid gust]

Just go far enough east or west. Mistlands start very far from the world center, but there's quite a bit of them

[uncut bough]

i had a lot of uncooked lox meat and wolf meat, should i just cook them all?

[frigid gust]

No. You will still want lox pies starting in the mistlands. Even with most mistlands foods I still use lox pie/honey chicken/salad as my basic food since hares take a lot of work to kill

[uncut bough]

aren't spike stakes useful for killing critters like that?

like place it everywhere, eventually one will run into it and ded

[frigid gust]

For sure. But it still takes time and isn't high volume.

[regal spoke]

I've only acquired gray hair hunting hare

[rain flare]

Damn….
Good luck 😅

Compasses help but so do simple signs pointing in the right direction

[paper marsh]

I'm not tooo worried for mistlands. Did decide to set up a base right next to it. And I've already found a dvergr crate at very edge of mist

[rain flare]

Mobs don’t attack those and it’s a lot less effort

[frigid gust]

I've gotten ok at running them down and trapping them against a rock or something, I've killed quite a few with my frostner, but they still take enough work that I don't want to use them as primary food, mostly just dungeon prep stuff

[mellow dagger]

Oop, looks like I spoiled to myself that there are chicken and hares in the game :D (wow, I now want to play the game even more when I will get back home)

[rain flare]

Noice!

[rain flare]

Sorry bud
Unfortunately this discord is riddled with spoilers 😅

[mellow dagger]

Yeah, I know (now) :D

[rain flare]

Legit, I avoided this place like the plague until I beat the mistlands to avoid the stuff

Basically the only channel that is spoiler free is general

[frigid gust]

You can count on about 2 weeks or so of people respecting spoilers when new content is released, but it's hard when the stuff has been out for ~6 months or so at this point.

[mellow dagger]

I kinda should too, but I got a little bored/lonely by not speaking wigg people very often plus this place is safe to be in :3

[mellow dagger]

Yeah, I bought the game only 1 or half the month back. I love this

(Especially pieces of lore in stones and music in general in the dungeons and swamp)

(also plains/mountain is scary :D)

[frigid gust]

Hehehe... you haven't seen scary yet. BTW, ooze bombs make the frost caves much more manageable, if you're running into issues with them.

[mellow dagger]

I've yet to find one, but I think I will run into one in my quest for bossless playthrough (I basically thought "Game (and lore) wants me obviously to kill bosses to easily proceed forward? What about I will not? Looks like an interesting challenge for first legitimately exciting playthrough :D")

[brisk berry]

when updat?

[rain flare]

Not yet

[brisk berry]

a ock

[vocal rivet]

If you mean Ashlands, the answer is first half of this year.

[rain flare]

First half of year somewhere - but not yet

[mellow dagger]

And yes, I love to suffer because of self-imposed challenges :D (I avoided leveling myself in souls games at all costs)

[rain flare]

Me imagining poor wolf boys snozzle’s wringling up at that stench 😂

[pure plume]

Love this game. Just builded my first proper boat and went on to map the shores of initial continent. Didn't predict that plains will be part of it and died to mosquito xD

[frigid gust]

They all take extra damage from poison 😉 It just melts them.

[pure plume]

Bustard was on a small island far from the shore

[frigid gust]

The good news about skeeters is they're literal glass cannons. Even a crude bow can kill them, if you shoot them before they get to you

[mellow dagger]

MWAhahahah, FINALLY, I can (||cleanse this perdition... MYSELF!||) punish them for all the jumpscares and deaths they gave me!

[serene talon]

ah yes deathsquitos

[mellow dagger]

:D

[solemn brook]

What should I do to activate two keys on the keypad at the same time? except macro

Is there such a mode?

[frigid gust]

What are you trying to accomplish in the game that would require that?

[solemn brook]

For example, a key should allow me to attack and build at the same time.think like left click, I can both build and attack

[frigid gust]

Oh... yeah, no. That's not possible in the game.

[solemn brook]

If we take an example from different games, we can assign the jump key to both the Space and 'Z' keys at the same time

[mellow dagger]

I can't even share how exactly I felt when I was like whispering to myself "wtf are thooose...! :0" when I saw 3 or so lycans accidentally at night slowly wandering in the distance in the mountain I overloaded with campfires to kinda cheese and they gave zero f*cks about it all

[languid root]

I would actually suggest making small fast sundials instead (at first). cuz they are compasses already and they also tell time. Completely switching to sun/moon direction orientation (get used to 21 crucial sun and 9 moon positions) would improve your general orientation drastically. So that upon finding a boss veg later, it will be even easier to keep your required direction to it.

[mellow dagger]

I decided to kill one and when I couldn't, I ran off as fast as I could because boy I got lucky their jump-attack animation stuck in an uneven terrain and some of the campfires

Also, hell they're fast

[half dragon]

do color codes no longer work on map?

ahh nvm it never worked on PC

[fallen zephyr]

What does a compass mean on a flat Earth?

[vocal rivet]

Not even Earth.

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, that's the appropriate point of contention...

How about you engage with the spirit of the conversation, rather than the pedantry of it.

[frigid gust]

You can only color code the signs you can build last I checked

[half dragon]

apparently on xbox you can use color codes for map marker names, even emojis

[regal spoke]

I'll try this. Ty

[regal spoke]

Flat or round NESW is still relevant to direction.

[mossy lance]

means which way is the top of the map. Just like any compass in any video game

[half dragon]

Btw, is normal the difficulty that was the standard difficulty before these options became a thing?

[languid root]

it means you are screwed in the right direction probably..

[dense steppe]

make a sundial, at about noon the shadow will point south 😼

[languid root]

It won't

[fallen zephyr]

Agreed, but magnetic objects tend to have 'ends'. I'm actually genuinely curious... I don't think I've ever considered the magnetic field lines on a disc.

[vocal rivet]

You can get flat magnets, and they still work.

[fallen zephyr]

This is problematic for a compass: https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-db0af9f0e83ef90b1f36da78967cf941-lq

[regal spoke]

Magnetics works at the cellular level right. So the magnetic object doesn't affect the principal

[fallen zephyr]

Yes, but the N/S doesn't occur on the edges. It's a top/bottom alignment.

[vocal rivet]

You might be overthinking this.

[fallen zephyr]

Of course I am. I'm trying to create a conversation.

[mossy lance]

this is valheim-chat

[fallen zephyr]

Are the Leviathans magnetic?

[frigid gust]

The magnetic fields are just turned 90 degrees from what is shown in that picture. That's just one example of a disc magnet, the flux is not determined by the shape of the magnet itself.

[languid root]

it comes out a bit flat as well

[fallen zephyr]

Haw! Haw! 😛

[fallen zephyr]

Ooh, interesting. So, Valheim is a world that may have been a sphere (i.e. oblate spheroid) in the past, and it's been 'vertically' sliced to keep the magnetic poles on the edge of the disc. Nice.

[half dragon]

Glad to see that the game is running far more smoothly now despite of using higher settings

[fallen zephyr]

I get 270 frames per second on loading screens 😛

[frigid gust]

Yup! Most of the chat about the PTB should go in #valheim-public-test , you can go to id:customize to get access to that.

[regal spoke]

No energy dies only transforms

[fallen zephyr]

Energy has nothing to do with magnetism.

@frigid gust You must know something about this. You're a flat bread after all.

[frigid gust]

I've also got a minor in engineering 😛 But yes, energy does have some things to do with magnetism. Not directly, but eddy currents as magnetic things move through each other are translated energy, basically. It's fun to calculate, one of the primary uses of imaginary numbers in real-world engineering.

[fallen zephyr]

What's your major?

[frigid gust]

Math, emphasis on Computer Science, minored in general engineering.

[fallen zephyr]

Majored in mathematics, minored in applied mathematics. 😛

[latent wraith]

You didn't have to apply for the major?

[fallen zephyr]

So, how many "Build of the Month"s have you won?

(He says conflating engineering with architecture)

[light moat]

I’m going to try and get a few submissions for build of the month this year, my goal is at least 2.

2 submissions, obviously not ‘wins’

[frigid gust]

I haven't entered any, I don't use Xitter 😛 But I am much more of a functional over aesthetic builder, especially compared to a lot of them. I do a lot more work on the interiors than the exteriors.

[languid root]

Yea, you can't win botm by submission, despite how much i tried

[fallen zephyr]

Function over form. I feel you. 🙂

[fallen zephyr]

How do you propose the winner is determined?

[languid root]

Only split judge decision

[strange arrow]

they should let us enter/submit entries here as well imo somewhere, there could be a channel for it

[fallen zephyr]

I'm not adverse to that, but I feel like it would be spammed to hell.

[frigid gust]

Or at least maybe use stuff in #building-screenshots as candidates

[strange arrow]

if we are limited to 4 shots per entry it won't be

[plush umbra]

completely honest? i hate building, i gather the things my friend builds LOL

[frigid gust]

That's it. You're out of the club. /banhammer

[fallen zephyr]

How do you enforce that in Discord?

[plush umbra]

its just a pain in the ass with the roof and limits

[fallen zephyr]

Cats in glass houses don't throw stones 😛

[plush umbra]

genuinely thinking of gettings mods to get rid of limitations

[strange arrow]

entries that don't meet the specifications would be removed by the mods, as in other channels

[plush umbra]

dammmm ill throw all of them at you

[light moat]

Oh right, you need a Xitter to submit. Forgot about that lol

[frigid gust]

That's part of the fun 😉 Figuring out how to support the grand structures in ways that can't be easily seen. Trees, rocks, hidden iron wood pieces, all kinds of tricks to get around that stuff.

[plush umbra]

not for me i hate building ngl LOL in every game

[fallen zephyr]

Are you still progressing through the game? Have you got wood iron beams yet?

[frigid gust]

One of my favorite builds was fully pre-iron, I planted a pine tree in the middle of one of the Meadows tall stone rings and had a 3 story atrium-style house with a rooftop deck, the center was mostly open.

[plush umbra]

ilol i got mistlands

[fallen zephyr]

Makes decorating the Xmas tree simpler.

[fallen zephyr]

Oh, you're tha man! My bad.

[plush umbra]

nah YOU are the man

[solid knoll]

How do I face my fears and fight wraiths, I’ve watched a troll kill one yesterday and now I want more robes.

[fallen zephyr]

We can both be men. Manly men. Men in tights.

[plush umbra]

theres just one problem

[frigid gust]

Wonder if I still have that world... I should go poke through some of those.

[plush umbra]

im a lady lmao sorry my pfp throws everyone off

[frigid gust]

They hit hard but you can do it. Parry them with an iron buckler and then hit them with a sword or mace. Arrows are a good way to start combat and get some damage in before they get to you. Fire arrows especially.

[strange arrow]

rip theory but nice reference

[plush umbra]

i dont care if people reference to me as a man or woman but im a woman LMAO

[fallen zephyr]

Gender is a spectrum. We can find a middle ground.

[plush umbra]

we dress in skirts

[frigid gust]

The internet, where the men are men, the women are too, and the children are FBI agents. Gotta love old AOL lore 😛

[fallen zephyr]

I have some Scottish blood. I can do a kilt (oops).

[plush umbra]

i have so many questions but i don

[plush umbra]

perfect its decided

[fallen zephyr]

Just as long as it's not like a school-girl tartan mini we're good. 🙂

[copper lotus]

on the internet GIRL stands for Guy In Real Life

[plush umbra]

WTF NO THATS DISTURBING LOl

[fallen zephyr]

We have an accord.

[plush umbra]

ugh you reminded me of the shit i read in reddit confessions and i almost forgot

[strange arrow]

pleats to meet you

[fallen zephyr]

I'm sorry I was a catalyst for you reliving that.

[plush umbra]

all good i got the beta game on valheim but i told my friend we will play valheim together when ashland comes out so i refuuuuuuse

[frozen jewel]

Helo. Is ther a way to increas the chance of finding see serpents exept hunting them at nyght and during storms?

[strange arrow]

sailing, a lot

[fallen zephyr]

I don't think so, but I do know that serpents that spawn during a storm don't de-spawn (like those that spawn at night), so there is a chance you can encounter them post-storm during the day.

[strange arrow]

keeping moving as fast as you can moves you from chunk to chunk faster, and each chunk can spawn a serpent

[plush umbra]

yknow i love this game but im sea sick..

the ship fucks my head up

[frozen jewel]

ok ty for the info

[plush umbra]

now now what did i do?

[light moat]

If sailing makes you sick, I think it’s fair to say that Valheim might not be for you… there’s a LOT of sailing!

[plush umbra]

dw i got to the end of the game i persisted

[paper marsh]

gigachad

[plush umbra]

mistlands i mean last biome lol

[strange arrow]

Cat is skilled indeed

[plush umbra]

no i just had my friend sail LOL

at least im honest

[strange arrow]

i'm off to make tea

xD

[fallen zephyr]

I have a dedicated server. I've been playing on it for about 1,300 hrs. I'd love to have a few more vikings running around my world, but I want to ask - how do you guys feel about joining an established server? Would you try and avoid established advancements in order to discover them yourself? Or, would you just want to handle all the items that unlock the top-end stuff as soon as possible?

[plush umbra]

i dont mind joining them i like socialising... sometimes. as long as everyone is kind

thing is everyone makes groups and then leaves each other out even if i try so i get bored

[paper marsh]

Personally I don't like the idea of joining a server in progress. Everytime I play a new world I like to start from scratch, with everyone else starting from scratch too

If I did join a server like that tho I'd prob like to progress through everything myself. Maybe just getting a few materials from others since the nearby areas are probably pretty looted already

[plush umbra]

i also prefer new world and beginnings but depends

[regal spoke]

I will never understand joining a coop world to go off on one's own.

[pliant hatch]

Ever tried sailing while being zoomed out to the max?

[raven heron]

i really hope theres a new crossbow coming with ashlands :) by far my favorite weapon

[plush umbra]

ye

[plush umbra]

i want more magic

[raven heron]

havent tried magic yet

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, fair. I'm just interested in how people would feel about having to limit their interations if they joined an existing server and wanted to progres 'naturally'.

[plush umbra]

limit my ass ill work my butt off to catch up LOL

[pliant hatch]

And still getting sea sick? 😱

[plush umbra]

its pretty bad...

thats why i dont sail LOL

[fallen zephyr]

This is curious. I could tell you stories about my motion sickness, but I've never experienced it in Valheim.

[pliant hatch]

Being the one piloten the boat may actually be easier when zoomed out as when you're a passenger.

[plush umbra]

i experience it in any game, i.e even escape simulator motion sickness though

[fallen zephyr]

Do you have particularly immersive monitors?

[plush umbra]

nop just bad luck

[fallen zephyr]

You're like, "Oh, you wanna game for a while? Sure! Just let me take a couple of Kwells."

[plush umbra]

if you mean pills they didnt help i threw up on a real life ship while taking sea sickness pills they only work for me in a car

[fallen zephyr]

My motion sickness was different in cars and boats, too. It's an inner-ear-fluid thing that I can't really advise about. But a GP might be able to help.

[plush umbra]

naaa all good

[fallen zephyr]

Clearly not.

"Yeh, I'm down to play some Valheim! Let me just get my vomit bucket!"

[plush umbra]

LMAO nah its just the sea

and its not much at onceee

[fallen zephyr]

I feel for you. An adverse physiological reaction to a hobby you enjoy is just a kick in the nuts (even if you don't have them). If I felt sick playing Valheim, I'd be at my doctor all like, "Dude! This is my life! Find me a solution!"

[raven heron]

just found sealed tower before hildir

[cobalt token]

Whatcha gonna do?

[raven heron]

idk

maybe i should get quest first? dunno if it breaks if i dont

[copper lotus]

afaik the quest is to bring back the chest u get at the end not the kill or clear itself

[raven heron]

cool

[frigid gust]

Yeah, you won't break anything if you do it first. It's just not going to be easy if you're not at a level to take out Yagluth, they tend to be more or less equivalent in difficulty to the boss of the biome they're in

[versed jewel]

just wanna make you know that the game is on sale since today, do whatever you like with that info.

[vocal rivet]

They posted that 36 hours ago.

[versed jewel]

exactly :)

[vocal rivet]

So they've already got the game and a sale is of no use to them?

[versed jewel]

you are so dense the joke is that he bought the game a literally hours of it being on sale

[latent wraith]

I don't see why it's important to ping him and rub that info in his face, tbh.

[versed jewel]

who said it is important

[fair cairn]

you pinging him?

[lusty crescent]

That's a chaotic evil act

[versed jewel]

finally someone that gets it

[latent wraith]

We all got that at once, I believe.

[lusty crescent]

Yeah no reason to shame bro💀

[azure yacht]

That's still insulting someone for not understanding your attempt at a joke tho

[shrewd ice]

I was reading the patch notes and noticed they upgraded Unity., does that mean they did away with that insane per-install license? I thought no one was touching the new version of unity because of that.

[frigid gust]

Unity rolled that back months ago after the blowback, fired their CEO and all IIRC.

[shrewd ice]

Thank god

[azure yacht]

We need an internet explorer emoji

[raven heron]

lmao no way u get eggs from the tower thats crazy

[frigid gust]

Just check the floor you beat the bosses on very thoroughly

[raven heron]

yeah i did

could've saved 3000 gold lol

[frigid gust]

looks in his Blackmetal treasure chest and sees half of the slots filled with gold...

[night aspen]

Do dragon eggs respawn on its nests?

[merry pebble]

yes

[nocturne shadow]

i think so yeah

[strange arrow]

8 hour timer iirc

[merry pebble]

yep, 8 in-game hours (meaning you will have to be in game for 8 real life hours)

[night aspen]

xD

[frozen void]

sleeping cuts in to it

its really 16 days

[uncut bough]

wut da hell, you are being hunted?

[vocal rivet]

Ooh, free wolf pelt delivery.

[near furnace]

That's what Sally Struthers said

[night aspen]

Do i need to build Black metal scrap in different biomes for specific stuff?

Like if can just see some stuff in the smithing list, if its in plains or mistlands?

[frigid gust]

You need a little bit of black metal for some very critical things in the Mistlands, but you should be able to keep your main forge and crafting area anywhere.

[night aspen]

I just melted my first stack black metal, what should i craft first? I was thinking about the shield maybe

[somber pelican]

-> Weapon -> Shield (If you are good at parrying) -> Armor -> anything else

Swap the Shield and Armor based on your blocking competency

[uncut bough]

just killed a serpent that spawned in daytime

[somber pelican]

can happen sometimes, just very rarely

🫡

[merry pebble]

he did not spawn at daytime, they cant, he could be left there from storm tho

[uncut bough]

so i thought too

[merry pebble]

no it cant

[somber pelican]

I have seen them pop up mid day before 👀 but who knows - always the chance to be chillin off on the edge of render distance from the past after chillin at base for a while.

[latent wraith]

They can only spawn during storms or at night, but it's very easy to miss them if they spawn behind you and you move out of view range.

[nocturne wolf]

If they spawn in rain they wont despawn, unless they were spawned by the night during rain

[vocal rivet]

Storms can happen in the day...

[uncut bough]

damn it the ocean is stormy again

[exotic cradle]

I'm with the sceptics here

[merry pebble]

unfortunate wording, i am ashamed of myself master derek 😔

[vocal rivet]

You are forgiven.

[somber pelican]

caught in the technicality haha, I never said they didn't need a storm 🤭

[nocturne shadow]

guys maths hw or valheim

[uncut bough]

killed it again, the scale sunk

[somber pelican]

yeee, you need a grapple spear thingy to bring them to shore for the scales

I think the trophy sinks too, soooo... don't forget it when purposefully hunting them

[nocturne wolf]

Derek, why does your name have 🌺? I’ve only seen 🌸.

[exotic cradle]

All but the meat

[uncut bough]

i did try to drag it to shore but i shot it too weak, and then it ram into my boat and died

now i got 12 serpent meat and 9 scale

[somber pelican]

rip, unfortunate

[strange arrow]

Scarlet, Castle and Winter all have those ones

[exotic cradle]

If it's close to shore you can still get them

[somber pelican]

just need to build a high diving platform

[exotic cradle]

Much easier way

[nocturne shadow]

what stamina food would you use to harpoon it to shore

[somber pelican]

best you have access to? more the marrier

[vocal rivet]

You can only marry one person.

[strange arrow]

bread and turnip stew/eyescream if you have

[nocturne wolf]

Does this limit apply to stamina food though?

[somber pelican]

not true for all religions and places of the world though, kekw

[vocal rivet]

Well, no, but then I didn't say that.

[strange arrow]

dreaming of wedding bells Derek? xD

[near furnace]

says who? 👀

[uncut bough]

killed 3rd serpent

[somber pelican]

grats

[vocal rivet]

Those days are long gone.

[uncut bough]

all in a day's work, bonus point saw a pufferfish stranded on a Sea Tutel

so grabbed it while mining the chitin on tutel

[torpid mango]

Don't kill just one serpent. Remove the serpent population out of existence

[uncut bough]

yes

cooking 20 serpent meats..... it is gonna cost 4 minutes

[vocal rivet]

Not possible.

[uncut bough]

waw 1 pufferfish level 3 gives 9 raw fish

we are eating good in this one

[frigid gust]

That's a pretty rare fish... I like keeping the biggest ones of whatever I've caught on the wall as trophies. Pufferfish are also good "landmines" that will hurt dvergr without them getting mad at you 😛

[paper marsh]

not necessarily free 😭

[vocal rivet]

I've yet to have to hand over money for it.

[latent wraith]

Sometimes it comes with free money delivery as well.

[paper marsh]

To each their own. There are other riches in life than money tho

[hearty niche]

I was just reading a thread on reddit about men utilizing... professional services... and it was one of those funny "Wait... what?" moments when I read this.

Very Hard combat is so unforgiving.

I need to get better at roll-dodging

I roll-dodge all the time in Enshrouded and 3x now have tried to press Ctrl to roll-dodge and got hulk-smashed by trolls.

[lament plank]

Best combat tactic is a succesfull timed block, it stuns the monster and crazy dmg on him after 😉

[frigid gust]

You don't have enough armor to block most attacks in very hard. Dodge-rolling is pretty much the only technique since it negates all damage.

[gleaming salmon]

when should i fight swamp boss?

i'm tired of the swamp biome it's so annoying

[lament plank]

With the bronze mace (lvl1) and some poison and life potions the battle is easy

[gleaming salmon]

how many should i have?

i already have a silver sword

[lament plank]

Poison potions last 10 minutes so maybe 3 or 4

Life potions maybe a stack of 6

Swords dont do much dmg on the boss...didnt tried silver on though...

[vocal rivet]

Silver? So you've been to Mountains already? Should be a doddle then.

[frozen void]

soudns like you've spent more time in mountains than swamp lol

[gleaming salmon]

iron sword maybe

i got a sword with the things from the crypts

[frozen void]

that'd be iron, yeah

[gleaming salmon]

iron good for the boss?

[lament plank]

Its a iron one...so dont do much dmg on Bonemass

[frozen void]

boss takes reduced slash and very reduced pierce damage, but takes increased blunt damage

[lament plank]

Its bl7nt weapons to do lot of dmg on bonemass

[frozen void]

if you use sword you might have to repair it mid fight

[halcyon blade]

I generally like to skip past to the mountains, get silver, then make a frostner before fighting bonemass. But an iron mace is a really good option as well.

[nocturne wolf]

A mace would do 3 times the damage

[lament plank]

Without the wishbone, its very hard to find silver in mountains 😅😅

[gleaming salmon]

how do you fight against wolves?

they are really op.

[nocturne wolf]

Any hit with an iron weapon should stagger them

So just try to hit them before they hit you

If you are hunted a large group will spawn. Dont parry them all, your stamina will drain too quickly. That’s how I had my only death in mountains.

[halcyon blade]

That's pretty much it. And if that fails, run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to avoid the pack of wolves chasing you.

[pliant hatch]

If there's a frost cave nearby you can always retreat into that and wait for the event to end by itself.

[halcyon blade]

The hunted event is only after defeating bonemass, which they haven't done yet.

[nocturne wolf]

That doesnt mean it wont happen in future

[halcyon blade]

The discussion was about going to the mountains before defeating bonemass.

[gleaming salmon]

hunted event? what is that

i'm going to try to beat the bonemass with my group, we are 3

[nocturne wolf]

Wolves spawn every 2 seconds. Not as bad as it sounds if you dont panic like I did my first time.

[lament plank]

Or when I see a stone golem, I usually make a hole near him with a portal in it, when chased by wolves they rarely go down in the hole and they get killed by the golem 😜😜

[uncut bough]

never have i been so eager to kill serpent

last serpent i and my friend shot until it has like a few health more, which then it rammed into the back of my boat and died :/

lost the scales, and then when me and my friend mined chitin, the serpent appeared again, and then we just had to kill it without trying to drag it ashore

[sage dock]

serpent hunts are always fun

i recommend doing it a few times with someone, its easier trying to harpoon whilst someone else is steering

also newbies use the longship instead of karve

[paper marsh]

All 5 serpents I've killed this run I've just lured to land and stabbed to death

[pliant hatch]

It's even more easy when you lure them to the coast and harpoon the serpents from there.

[paper marsh]

depends on what the purpose of the sailing trip is

[sage dock]

it just lasts longer, so its more forgiving for newbies

[paper marsh]

it's also faster and has more capacity, making it more useful for long sails or hauling goods

[uncut bough]

just got ambushed by a bunch of wolves, this kind of raid has never happened to me

[sage dock]

trying to hunt with a karve and you arent confident you're gonna be getting your shit pushed in

[uncut bough]

the bonemass ability turned the ambush into a fun wolf meat + skin hunt

[pliant hatch]

I s'pose when you sail with a longship, encounter a serpent, you won't return to base to switch for the karve and go serpent-hunting.

You hunt the things with the ship you're currently using, not with the one that may be more suited for it or not.

[uncut bough]

it was so easy that i just stand there and take a 5 damage wolf bite

[paper marsh]

yea bonemass power is pretty busted

I don't like bonemass power

[sage dock]

as i said if you have done it before then yes. for a greenhorn hunter, longship is the only safe option. you can hunt multiple before your boat is in need of repair. a few good hits and a karve is toast

[paper marsh]

I don't see why a Karve is much better than a longship for serpent hunting

[sage dock]

just faster and more manoeuvrable really. only real benefit

[pliant hatch]

I killed the first serpent when using a Karve.
I've also killed a serpent using a longship.

But since I'm usually using a Karve over a longship, that doesn't mean I will return to my base just to switch ships.

I use the ship I'm currently sailing to fight a serpent .

And for reparing; 10 wood in your cargo hold is enough to build a workbench, repair the ship, demolish the workbench and continue hunting.
Doesn't have to be a new player for that either.
Just a smart one.

[paper marsh]

well, that's just wrong

The karve is more maneuverable (turns faster) and slower than the longship. Not faster

[sage dock]

eh ive seen karves get away from longships so. karve can be faster

[vocal rivet]

Well, yes, a stationary longship will be slower than a karve.

[uncut bough]

i like longship for serpent hunt, being able to dictate the fight is nice to have

[sage dock]

slow clap so insightful. hadn't considered that

[uncut bough]

want to slow down and lure the serpent? sure enough
want to tank hits while dragging it to shore? it can tank for days
want to just leave the fight ? this thing does it

[vocal rivet]

It was about as meaningful as your statement. The longship is faster than the karve, end of story.

[uncut bough]

and also its cargo bay is huge, i dont just hunt serpent and go home, i usually go to swamp and collect iron i mined in chest and then go home with that

so i can both store serpent meat and iron and go home at the same time with no sweat

[sage dock]

cool story. ill log it away

[vocal rivet]

Just correcting misinformation is all. No need for the attitude.

[sage dock]

its not misinformation. but you do you

[paper marsh]

Lag could make a Karve go faster comparetively to a longship

[vocal rivet]

The longship tops out at 9.75m/s, the karve at 7.0m/s

[frozen void]

longships can sail at 9.5 m/s, while karve can sail ad 7m/s.

[sage dock]

and how often are you max speeding against serpents? not often

[vocal rivet]

That's irrelevant?

[sage dock]

nope. its faster whilst hunting. never said it was faster overall

context

[uncut bough]

hold on, it is faster while hunting? how?

[vocal rivet]

It's not, don't worry.

[uncut bough]

do you mean "it does the hunting job faster" or "it sails faster while hunting"

cuz if it is the latter then it is ridiculous, like straight up cap

[exotic cradle]

He's flat out wrong but insisting VS actual code, don't worry about it ^^

[uncut bough]

wow bonemass ability is just so busted, i 1v1 a golem and dont even bother dodging

getcho goofy ass outta here with that 10 damage hit lmao

[paper marsh]

If you up the difficulty enemies start hurting quite a bit even through bonemass ability, but shy of that bonemass does feel like a bit of cheatcode lol

[ember panther]

Yea... I love Bonemass power. Still need to find the guy

[sage dock]

shrugs try it yourself. ive found the karve gets the job done faster overall. but still as the original discussion, longship for newbies

[ember panther]

I do prefer karves over longships. Unless you're transporting materials

[sage dock]

no arguement there. base moving or resettlement, longship for materials

[exotic cradle]

It's fine to prefer something, but to argue stats is different ^^

[paper marsh]

I pretty much just use karves until I get a longship, and hten pull karve out for some dicey sailing through mistlands

[rich ice]

I don't like how the decks of the longships are a perfect platform for seekers to land on and bite your face off.

[paper marsh]

that's fair. It's also a big target for a ||Gjall ||to hit

[ember panther]

Longship gets stuck on everything and I end up wasting time getting it unstuck

[sage dock]

you dont wanna be caught near plains with deathsquitos in a karve either

[vocal rivet]

OK, I'll bite. Why?

[sage dock]

wasnt talking to you

[uncut bough]

then you meant "you kill serpent faster with karve? "

[vocal rivet]

Ah, gotcha. Just want to talk to people that agree with you. Moving on then.

[uncut bough]

honestly if this is the case then it shouldn't even be a contest, whatever boat does the job

yo found some Onion seed

[vocal rivet]

Yay!

[sage dock]

once you know what you are doing, yes

[rich ice]

Pretty much. A buddy and I killed one with a raft. Granted, there was a lot of screaming and jumping in and out of the water, but it did get the job done.

[sage dock]

haha fair id have never agreed to do that, but you do you!

[uncut bough]

i mean "x boat kill the serpent faster" is a bit irrelevant because serpent dont walk on land, so as long as you know what you are doing, and you get yourself to the ocean with anything that floats, then u kill serpent

i and my friend shot the serpent 7 times each and killed it very easily

damn i love the frost mead function, i have to wait until the effects ticks down to the last seconds to be able to use new one

[sage dock]

whats the frost mead ingredients again?

[uncut bough]

NOOOOOO, NOOO I OVERCOOKED THE SERPENT MEAT

[sage dock]

i just took a dive in mountains and im gonna need one to get my shit back later

[uncut bough]

1 greydwarf eye, 5 thristle, 10 honig and uh

what is the other ingredient.....

[vocal rivet]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Frost_resistance_mead

[sage dock]

the drake drop

[uncut bough]

and 2 bloodbag

[sage dock]

frost gland

[uncut bough]

no, it is blood bag, you dont get drake drop when u get from swamp to mtn

[sage dock]

ah fair

frost gland is the arrows. my bad

[ember panther]

|Honig
Sprechen sie Deutsch?

[frozen void]

forgot about the greydwarf eye lol

honey, thistle and blood bag were the ones i remembered

[uncut bough]

nein i only spricht engrisk

my beautiful 5 pieces of serpent meat, overcooked after i went to repair some stuff

the wait was soo tedious tho, i bet the serpent meat takes a whole minute to cook

[paper marsh]

takes so long to cook, just can't help but take your eyes off it

[sage dock]

facepalm

[pliant hatch]

Could've been Dutch, Flemmish or South-African as wel. Even Dutch Antilles or Surinam.

[uncut bough]

omg the serpent meat, why is it SO long

[ember panther]

Thicc meat

[uncut bough]

i am losing MY mind

[exotic cradle]

Maybe you need to stop typing in discord and focus on your cooking >_>

[rich ice]

Or, just put your cook fire right next to a fishing hole. Shore lunch!

[sage dock]

you enterprising economist you

[oak slate]

digging under ores to insta destroy them doesnt work anymore?

[shy marlin]

Nah it does

The hitboxes are just larger then they appear, so mine out more than you think you have to

[oak slate]

ooh thanks

[pliant hatch]

Will most likely have to mine out more around the ore node to have it <poof>

[frozen void]

it can easily be 2 meters distance in any direction

[halcyon blade]

And it works much better for silver deposits because the hitboxes of the individual pieces are much smaller (meaning you don't have to dig out nearly as much to disconnect it from the ground support). For copper it's always been very finicky and not as useful/reliable of a method, often digging out large chunks of the deposit and large amounts of terrain before seeing results.

[oak slate]

yeah... this is looking like a minecraft quarry, and the copper deposit looks like the moon from zelda ocarina of time

it may be too close to the ground lol

[limber socket]

My Valhein crashes when trying to start a world, can anyone help me?

[ember panther]

Have you tried letting the program wait to respond?

[sage dock]

you on steam?

[uncut bough]

"you stirred the cauldron"

you are lying to me game, i didnt stir no cauldron

game tryna gaslight me

[pliant hatch]

plays Batman theme

You sure you didn't stir anything?

[vocal rivet]

That's a raid

[frozen void]

a group of bats is sometimes called a cauldron

[vocal rivet]

Y'know, whilst that makes sense I never made the connection. I just assumed it was some sort of bat/witch kinda connection.

[uncut bough]

i am suffering from success rn

i found 3 silver vein near each other in the mountain

it gonna take me a decade to mine all of this silver

[vocal rivet]

Well, half an hour at least.

[paper marsh]

Mine under the silver to disconnect it from the ground then pop it. Doesn't take too long (and actually works well, unlike copper)

[plain bane]

Just eyeball about 1 regular floor tile's distance from terrain in all directions, make sure no piece of natural boulders are inside or contacting the ore, and tap the ore with your pickaxe. The check for detonating happens as you mine the ore; removing terrain alone won't trigger it.

[oak slate]

OH, i didnt try mining it

[plain bane]

Ya made the same mistake heh

Tap it enough to break a piece and it should do the check; I'd start from wherever the ore is closest to terrain

[oak slate]

omg it worked

[oak slate]

thank you VERY much, i definitely dug too much, and was almost giving up already

[plain bane]

I had two overlapping silver veins that went off at the same time and almost went deaf

[rain flare]

Seriously???
That is so cool!

[light moat]

So I just had my first experience in the mistlands, so far I think it’s a really cool place! Feels extremely magical. The mist makes the biome feel giant for sure. I didn’t go too far (lost my rested bonus) but I found a bunch of hares and an infested mine. I took a peak into the mine, but I’m going to wait and come back later.

Hmm wondering if I have a fear of bugs though.

[uncut bough]

man defeating boneass with 2 people is way easier than i thought

me, having learnt from last time, climbed the skull's top and cheese the boss by swinging heavy attack to hit the bossy

[sage dock]

used to be so much easier when you could harpoon the ugly git

[uncut bough]

while my friend sniped it with the freezing arrow

so in the end it was uneventful

but now we have killed boneass, we have a choice to either visit the 6 crypts found in the area :( or go visit mountain biome

i somehow would never thought that finding crypts will act like a burden for us

[strange arrow]

pretty good going for a first trip

[light moat]

Got some food items too it seems, Jotun puffs and Magecaps. Came across a seeker soldier 1-star and lured it to the plains for a good ole’ 1v1.

[strange arrow]

just remember those only grow if you plant them in mistlands on the brown ground

really good return, 3 for every 1 planted

[light moat]

Thanks for the tip!

[uncut bough]

man i really could use some more inventory slots rn, why can't clothes and equipments have dedicated item slots

[frigid gust]

Pocket portal, or be more judicious about what you carry with for gear 😉

[uncut bough]

I want more wolf raids, gime that game

Less with the a foul smell from the swamp and you stirred the cauldron and more of those wolf raids

I want effortless meat and pelt, pls give

[paper marsh]

world modifiers --> max raid rate

[exotic hornet]

when is the new bioms set to be released

[uncut bough]

but i dont want other raids

i dont want the cauldron raid, the blob raid,

[latent gorge]

Anyway to block mobs from spawning near base?

I’m playing in a extremely hard difficulty and having trouble with the constant raid from mobs

[sage dock]

the idol is a good delaying tactic

stuff wont spawn inside its area either

[latent gorge]

Idol?

[halcyon blade]

The ward I would assume is what they meant.

[sage dock]

*ward. yes people seem to get confused that ward means idol and vice versa

[latent gorge]

Ward?

Yeah I forgot about the ward

[sage dock]

Its a requirement for open servers unless you want your shit stolen

But yeah its good for stopping spawn near your base

[halcyon blade]

In the context of preventing enemy spawns, a work bench also works and is a cheaper option.

[sage dock]

It does. Ward negates damage on your stuff though

[halcyon blade]

Only by other players, not enemies.

[sage dock]

does for enemies too.

reduces the damage at least so it takes longer

[halcyon blade]

The information for it only states that it protects against other players, it does not state that it protects against enemies. Would be best to run some tests to see for sure.

[latent gorge]

I read somewhere that workbenches works for blocking spawn too. But it looks stupid if the whole area is covered in workbenches

[sage dock]

players cant destroy your stuff with building but they can damage it over time. same principle applies to enemies

[frigid gust]

No set date, just before the end of June. There will be a beta, so you'll see the news, you can also add yourself to the roles to get notified if you want.

[frigid gust]

Campfires and torches do too. I like campfires because they don't have to be lit to work and enemies don't attack them like they do workbenches, plus you don't need a bench to build them

[fresh terrace]

I call him that too haha

[halcyon blade]

I'm curious what proof you have on the claim you're making. What kind of testing have you done to confirm your statements? What source of info are you using, and does that source provide any actual proof or results from testing? A lot of unofficial articles out there are laced with misinformation and lack any amount of fact checking, and are contradicted by more trustworthy and official sources of information.

[cold frost]

yo could someone do me a favor and help me test my dedicated server by joining cause one of my buddies wasnt able to but i missed his message and he hopped off

[sage dock]

have built several bases inside multiplayer servers. it was a really great way to stop enemies from wrecking stuff while we are elsewhere. have tried to use the hammer on parts of the buildings that was covered, as well as trying to open doors that are closed. it sets off the ward and says no access, or just blinks and plays the ward audio. it is possible to wear the blocks down by damaging them, but it takes a while. have tested it with ward off and ward on. it takes a troll longer to break stone wall with the ward on than off

[frigid gust]

That's only within range of a ward. Otherwise other players can do whatever.

[sage dock]

you are welcome to try it yourself if this is insufficent

[sage dock]

no arguement there

[frigid gust]

Wards don't prevent any damage at all, though. Even from enemies.

[sage dock]

exactly what i said before

just takes longer with a ward than without

[frigid gust]

It should be exactly the same

[sage dock]

should, but its not. again, have tried it

[halcyon blade]

Not exactly, because damage values can vary. What they mentioned isn't an actual valid test because of this randomness. You could have one instance where damage rolls on average were lower when the ward was active, which would give the illusion that a ward is reducing damage even though it isn't.

An actual valid test would be recording the damage done each hit with a large enough sample size both when a ward is active and when it isn't, then compare the average values between each test.

[sage dock]

go for your life then.

only speaking on what ive seen

makes life less stressful having trolls smashing in your walls

at least slower than normal

[rain flare]

I think we all asked this question the first time round 🙈😂

Hot tip:
Be VERY careful around corners down there

Have you met the children of gjall?

[paper marsh]

Can’t help you with blobs if you want wolves, but key to not getting cauldron is to not kill a bat 😄
(Too late now tho)

[sage dock]

agreed! you'll get blobs once you start kicking the swamp hives. which sucks

[paper marsh]

You’ll get rid of them at one point but will get other raids

[rain flare]

Wards work, it basically any base item like a crafting station prevents spawning around their area of influence

[paper marsh]

Or campfires or workbenches or torches or other stuff

[rain flare]

I prefer the crafting table as it’s reasonably cheap and I can see exactly how far the radius is at any point

[uncut bough]

i killed the bat like 4 days ago in game

ever since i never touched not even a bat

[rain flare]

Yeah you’re permanently batty

Same as troll raids - you don’t even have to kill the mob yourself for the raid to become a feature 😓

As long as one of said mob type has died previously, that raid is activated and part of the local pool of raids

[uncut bough]

should i attempt to stay the night in Mountains?

are there any particularly dangerous mob that spawns in mountains at night?

obviously i want to get good loot but it isnt a bad idea to sprint if i , for example, see a 2 star wolf at night

i dont even know if i would ever see starred wolf lol

[sage dock]

haha yeah pretty much it. stronger drakes and wolves. you get fenrings too. big werewolves

entirely depends on what level of mountain you're on though

[rain flare]

I don’t think drakes are stronger

But 2* wolves are no joke

And the lycans are very nasty - especially if you fight several different mobs at once

[rain flare]

If you have good gear and more importantly, an escape strategy, you should be fine

Just make sure you have said escape strategy in place or you are going to have a very hard time retrieving your gear

[sage dock]

exactly my problem. running around in daylight with frost mead hoping i dodge everything

[uncut bough]

man i was so conditioned to the root pierce resistance, now i march into plains with iron armor max level and still feel the sting of the mosquito

[paper marsh]

yea I wouldn't recommend other armor over root chest piece for plains

[uncut bough]

it isnt too severe, like 20 damage per hit but still

[halcyon blade]

You can really feel the difference, especially if a couple of them hit in quick succession out of nowhere.

[paper marsh]

No root chest in Very Hard would be quite the challenge

assuming you're not cheesing everything

[rain flare]

Nah you see, it’s not the deathsquito that I can see that worries me…

It’s the deathsquito that I can’t see while fighting a pair of loxen or a couple of fulings…

THAT scares me to pieces 😂

[halcyon blade]

Yeah, most of my deaths in the plains are because of that. Not the enemies chasing me down, but the random deathsquitos I run into during the chase, which I didn't notice or spot due to my attention being divided.

[hollow crag]

I swear there's something wrong with me and my world i just parked my krave right at my home base and a few days not logging on its gone

[paper marsh]

If I die in the plains this run it is most certainly not going to be to a death squito

[hollow crag]

I went through my chests and different portals and nothing of it traces

[paper marsh]

Not to discount the creatures, they're damn dangerous, but they do 35-40ish damage to me whereas a fuling with a big stick does 130ish, and that's if it doesn't have stars

[sage dock]

did you have it pulled up close to the bank?

and are you on a solo server or a multi?

[hollow crag]

Well i just park it close enough for me to get off

Yea solo server

Like wtf i am checking my map and i am sure my last sail was back to base getting my silver back

[sage dock]

hmm. well might have been destroyed and its despawned. but if you saved and left it should have stayed put

[hollow crag]

There's no way it got destroyed in black forrest

[sage dock]

ooooorrrrrr it jumped back to another auto save

and your boat was out at sea somewhere

[paper marsh]

^

[rain flare]

Say that to the troll / greydwarf who smacked it 😂

You’ll have to check your last location you left it

[sage dock]

what they said

[hollow crag]

I parked really close to my base i kill everything around it

[rain flare]

👆

It won’t despawn on it’s own, but if you check your last route you sailed it will be there somewhere

[sage dock]

If it wasnt yeeted by a storm or serpent that is

[rain flare]

If the tile isn’t active it will be fine

[hollow crag]

what does that mean

[rain flare]

Basically means the boat glitched

[hollow crag]

💀 that happens?

[sage dock]

Servers auto save periodically. Saving your location and progress

[rain flare]

Hence 👆

[sage dock]

If it cant load your most recent coz its corrupted, it jumps to the next one down the line

[rain flare]

But the question is are you playing on your own pc or a server?

[hollow crag]

my own pc

[sage dock]

But your character stays at last log out location

[rain flare]

Yeah then this shouldn’t be the issue

[hollow crag]

yea

Maybe it got yeet by the storm

[rain flare]

Possibly

[hollow crag]

It was snowing blizzard while i was mining silver for a few day

wahtever ig i will build the long boat its time for an upgrade anyways

[halcyon blade]

I've experienced the issue in single player (not on a server) when game crashes were involved, and random issues/errors can occur because of other reasons during the saving process that can result in the same issue. Also, considering they haven't been on since they parked their boat (and assuming they didn't leave the boat unattended for very long both before exiting the world and after rejoining), it couldn't be anything other than the position of the boat reverting to a previous location.

[sage dock]

unfortunate, but true

upside is you can find it back along your route if you move fast enough

[rain flare]

I sea

I have never had this kind of issue on single player, so this is news to me 👀

[sage dock]

its more common in multi ill grant you. but it does happen

[rain flare]

Technically the boat shouldn’t despawn or take unnecessary damage just from being moved back

The chunks are not loaded in until the player is present so the boat “should” be fine 🥰

[sage dock]

of course. i just mean if it takes damage from storms it usually just stops in place

[uncut bough]

wait do serpent spawn at night in waters that is marked as black forest

just killed 1 in ocean

[rain flare]

They spawn in ocean but if you are in the Black Forest they can still spawn

There is some overlap of biomes - had this myself when I went fishing in a karve the one day

Well, one night that I went fishing

[hasty heart]

im probably gonna die to a gjall while setting up my mistlands base

[uncut bough]

man i am cooked, i am trying to reach black forest in another place to check out the smoudering tomb and to defeat Elders once again, but the destination is sooo landlocked, i have been sailing for 2 days straight, repelling serpent and again

great, it is dark AND raining in ocean

[rain flare]

Probably
Kinda par for the course when doing mistlands

[hasty heart]

yeah since my gear is up to date its still mistlands gear

[rain flare]

Just have a backup base somewhere close by
