[uncut bough]

well it brings all other plethora of raids but other than bats i aint scared

wel maybe a bit cuz i got pig farm

[dense rapids]

Shouldn't the waves go in the same direction as the wind?

[strange arrow]

hate the guts.... until you eat them....

[ember panther]

Man i forgot how cool the wolf armor is. Probably my favorite set

[dense rapids]

Very cool with a wolf head on your shoulder

[ember panther]

I just made the cape n helmet so far, while using fenris top n bottom. Mountains is such a good biome

[dense rapids]

Is it a bug that in the model of the karve you see before you build it, the hatch is open? (and a closed hatch can be seen underneath)

[uncut bough]

I hate sailing, partly because the big freak off sail just blocks my entire forward vision when it is on tailwind

[half dragon]

sweet sweet sussausage

[uncut bough]

Sure i dont usually need to see that far but it is still annoying

[desert tangle]

question does anyone know the length in meters is a wooden wall? trying to figure out how far away is 4 meters

[uncut bough]

Also draugur fang is insane, i know it is an overpowered weapon and i take it with pride that i use overpowered weapn

[uncut bough]

4 meters

[dense rapids]

they say the size in the name

[uncut bough]

Wait no 2 meters

I misremember the stone 2x2 floor for 4x4

And today i realize i can “sneak attack” a serpent

It puts the serpent to half health before it even started howling

With the help of draugur fang, even the most mediocre arrow like flinthead makes serpent into oversized sushi

And now with the introduction of obsidian arrow, now i can just spam ironhead arrow that i found in crypts since otherwise i might never be using it

[strange arrow]

all the wood beams come in lengths of metres, 1, 2 and 4m, using those you can measure accurately anywhere

[uncut bough]

I think he asks of wooden wall which i don’t remember having the measurement on it

But mostly it is 2x2 cuz it snaps on 2x2 floor

[strange arrow]

ye they are the same as the 2m beam

[uncut bough]

So it is 2x2

[pliant hatch]

Wooden walls come in 1m and 2m.
If it's palisade walls, they are 2m wide as well

[desert tangle]

im blind where does it say this

[uncut bough]

I dont remember it does but it is 2x2

[dense rapids]

Does anyone have any brilliant ideas to make it possible to swim further with a lox? I wanted to make a challenge to cross a narrow ocean with loxes, but they run out of stamina crazy fast when swimming. I didn't find any shallow stones I could build on top of to make a resting island in between..

[uncut bough]

Ur search is over, thou hath found the answer

[desert tangle]

ahh right wooden wall doesnt but log beam does show the length, ill just use this ty

[uncut bough]

Sail a longboat, harpoon it, sure u will drain stamina fast but at least it can move somewhere

And Lox doesn’t drown, i learnt that the hard way, but with my friend’s life on the line instead

[dense rapids]

wood wall 1x1 means 1x1 meter, and wood floor 2x2 is 2x2meter. But yeah it doesnt say size on all of them. The poles say "wood pole 1m"

[dense rapids]

then what happens?

[uncut bough]

Well if it is tamed, it should sit there and not move an inch, otherwise it attacks

[dense rapids]

and it will just never move again?

[uncut bough]

Well yea

Terrible idea but hey at least u can wait for stamina to restore and drag it again

[dense rapids]

so you could build a bridge out of loxes?

[uncut bough]

U could, yea

[dense rapids]

can a swimming lox climb onto another swimming lox.... (probably not)

[uncut bough]

I was sailing with my friend in the longboat, thanks to u, to the iron storage we got to load it on the ship and sail home

[strange arrow]

wouldn't raising the ground to make a land bridge be better over a short crossing?

[dense rapids]

it's actual ocean, so I can't get it far enough

[strange arrow]

if you did it either side the lox might even have enough stam to swim for a bit of it

[uncut bough]

On the way we hit a shallow water so our boat stuck, i asked my friends whether to shoot the lox from afar, he said yes, and then the lox rapidly approached us

[dense rapids]

I started on one side, but doen't think it looks like it would be enough

[strange arrow]

rats

[uncut bough]

We got the boat moving but it still chase, and my friend lagged so he fell out of the boat and got promptly ended by the lox

[strange arrow]

do you have the saddle? riding it onto a boat is the next easiest option

[uncut bough]

The serpent shall enjoy its meal

[dense rapids]

Yeah but I was hoping that I could make crossing the water on a lox part of my adventure quest

[uncut bough]

U could ask the lox to fly

It wont but doesn’t hurt to try

[dense rapids]

ooooh do the catapult trick with the lox

[strange arrow]

building out on either side with iron floor sections might buy you the distance, hard to know without seeing

[dense rapids]

Can you get far with iron wood if you go straight horizontal?

[strange arrow]

quite far

[light moat]

Yeah, it’s pretty insane

[pliant hatch]

I thought going out mining some boulders near my base was a good idea.
Turned out the 3 boulders I thought it were, were 5 instead as 3 of them were clipping.
Ended up with about 175 stone. I hope it's enough for my main house. 😄

[light moat]

Depends, are you building a stone house? 😅

[uncut bough]

Game: best i can do is 29 stone floor

[pliant hatch]

Basement and first floor.

[uncut bough]

The stone structure just guzzles stone

[pliant hatch]

But given the size, I need to build stone pilars as well.

[light moat]

Wait until you see black marble lol

[dense rapids]

cool, will give it a shot

[uncut bough]

Best i can do is 1/5 of the house

So there is not a bow in plains tier?

[dense rapids]

can confirm, when you want to build with stone, you need insane amounts

[fair cairn]

most ill do with stone atm is floors
and then
only if i builda new house starting with stone

[uncut bough]

No wonder draugr fang is so op, it had to carry the player to mistland

[pliant hatch]

Current size is 9 x 14 floor tiles.
And I'm thinking of adding a kitchen and trophy room side-wings to it as well.

[light moat]

Ooh, yeah you’ll need a lot more stone I’d wager

[dense rapids]

175 stone is seriously nothing, it's gone in a sneeze

[pliant hatch]

I know.
I also made a calculation error.

I got 35 piles of 50 stone.
So 1750, instead of 175.

[dense rapids]

ok that is at least 10 times as good

[pliant hatch]

And I still wonder if it's enough. 😄

[light moat]

OH, yeah that’s a decent amount LOL

[dense rapids]

You never have enough 😅 and if you do, send it my way

[light moat]

Should be enough for a cozy/modest house!

[fair cairn]

i got 4 iron chests of stone
used half of one just for a wall
this shits expensive for how little i built

[light moat]

How big of builds are y’all building 👀

[pliant hatch]

Ehm, Large? 😄

[dense rapids]

Humongous

[loud valve]

Continent-wide

[light moat]

My main base is maybe like 25m x 35m?

I like little cozy homes!

[pliant hatch]

Current size is 9 x 14 floor tiles.
And iirc, a stone floor tile is 2x2m.

So my main building is 18 x 28m

With a basement (stone floor), ground floor as stone floor, ground floor walls from stone and the rest is wood.
Stone pilars to support the ground floor, log beams (for now) to support the floors higher up.

[dense rapids]

#screenshots message

[pure blaze]

this tree of life hanging over my head all the time. Does it grow from some spot on the map that I can reach?

[uncut bough]

gotta say the minds of people in this server are incredible

while i still struggle to make a flat ground so my stone structure wont collapse cuz the ground is not flat to milimeters, people built an entire kingdom in their server

[dense rapids]

Do you want a spoiler or do you want to go find out?

[uncut bough]

i want a spoiler

i want a full guide

[dense rapids]

I meant @pure blaze

[pure blaze]

nah, I'm good then, thx

[uncut bough]

oops

honestly i was asking the same but ppl told me it wont lead me anywhere

[dense rapids]

I think it is a great trigger to get you to explore 😄 I remember I one day decided "Now i'm just going to sail towards that tree, can't be far!"

[loud valve]

It's easier to pickaxe the ground first then raise it to the level you like imo

[dense rapids]

You know the colors right? Blue means it is touching ground

[uncut bough]

yes, i am not that dumb, my point is the ground isn't flat and i am struggling with it

i keep regretting choosing an uneven grounds in meadows, which now i think of it, all the grounds in meadows are uneven

[loud valve]

I rarely find flat land

[uncut bough]

almost impossible rlly

[dense rapids]

What we did was choose one place, smack down a wooden floor tile, and then define that as the starting point of your building grid. Connect everything to that, and you know it's all built in a grid so it matches up. And you can use the wooden floor tiles or horizontal poles to check if the ground is level or not

(and then there came my buddy who made the castle, with all kinds of crazy shapes, so that one is not in the grid..)

[loud valve]

The wooden floors is still a good way to even ground

[regal spoke]

Corewood beams are a nice guiding edge to level ground.

A guaranteed flat spot is in the meadows ancient stone circles

[warm depot]

a spoiler? you never make it to valhalla

this is nor ur hell nor ur heaven, you are in eternal purgatory and Odin lied to you

[azure yacht]

Sigmar Odin lied

[pliant hatch]

You will never get the land 100% flat, no matter what you do.

[vocal rivet]

What?

[dense rapids]

about 44 meters it seems. 😂

[strange arrow]

i was gonna ballpark it at 50, but i wasn't sure

[dense rapids]

i do have a slight turn in it and stuff, so maybe its 50

[paper marsh]

whaaaaaaa crossbow can be loaded without stamina? interesting

[uncut bough]

what is bro on 🗣️ 🗣️

[dense rapids]

Whoooo 🎉 made it across the water on a lox!

with 36/240 stamina left

[vocal rivet]

No clue.

[desert tangle]

do we know whats coming with ashland in terms of new items? hoping for some early to mid game wearable light sources like lanterns on belt lamps on backpacks ;p

[vocal rivet]

Why would we get anything early game?

[oblique mist]

@desert tangle a new weapon

[desert tangle]

why not :P

[vocal rivet]

Because it's an Ashlands update?

[desert tangle]

ye

devs adds bunch of shit doesnt mean it has to be specified to ashland

[warm depot]

also what vikings were on

[vocal rivet]

Yes it does.

[warm depot]

fire

[regal spoke]

Ash to be sure

[warm depot]

Lava also

[vocal rivet]

Noone read the actual question then?

[nocturne wolf]

Many weapons and materials have already been shown

[regal spoke]

Nobody knows anymore than what we've seen in IG vids

[azure yacht]

#news

[azure yacht]

It literally does mean that

[lunar sapphire]

let's... just wait for the update instead of throwing in our 2 cents of what's going to be added

[azure yacht]

Smiffe literally said ashlands update is for ashlands

"we move forward, not backwards"

[regal spoke]

I was taking the mickey tbf. We know when we know

[dense rapids]

I am calling the crossing/water for "The Meow straight" now. ♥

[desert tangle]

other games says they gna release update but still adds alot of stuff to the game that arent specifically tied to the announced update

[strange arrow]

let there be lox a plenty 🙂

[heady parcel]

How other games work is hardly relevant. Looking at previous Valheim updates, when a biome gets its Big One, that update is all about that biome and the next level of progress.

They might still add smaller things in general and tweak older stuff, but that is more likely to come in smaller patches or something like the Hildir's Quest update.

[desert tangle]

ye would still be interesting if they added a few items for other stages of the game

[vocal rivet]

But, as has now been said several times, that's not happening.

[desert tangle]

oh wells maybe next update then

[regal spoke]

Likely

[vocal rivet]

We've had several passes in most biomes now so I don't think there'll be much more to come from earlier biomes.

[light moat]

Just want to make sure I’m not crazy… when using the stone oven, do y’all keep it topped off with wood to burn? Or do you just throw a single piece in when you want to cook some food?

[pliant hatch]

I just throw a single piece in.
Is more than enough for several stacks of food.

[light moat]

Ok great, that’s what I do- no need to put 10 pieces in there right? 😅

Unless you’re hosting a Viking BBQ or something lol

[pliant hatch]

Unless you want that rested bonus when cooking. But since my oven is going to be close to my hearth and cauldron anyway, no need to use the oven for that.

[uncut bough]

i kinda regret making big house now, i put the hearth in the middle and now i cant have my bed too far from it anymore

[desert tangle]

maybe mods then :D

[uncut bough]

so now it is not against the wall and it looks out of place as hell, and also the house is DARK

i tried plastering sconce everywhere, and also overhead blazer, it doesn't make the house look more lively

also it is so big the forge distance dont allow me to place sconce at a particular edge of the room

anyone here got ideas about house lighting?

[pliant hatch]

Did you progress into Mistland yet?

[uncut bough]

no, not yet

not in my main server that is, i am at mistland in another coop server

but of course i give all item i got in mistland to the owner for the progress

[frail wagon]

having no friends and wanting to play valhiem is truely sad

[uncut bough]

also i would have no use for that in the main server too so no point keeping

[pliant hatch]

You will get a good lighting object there.

Up to then, use torches or wall scones.

If you've found Hildir, you may be able to buy some items for both the heat and some lighting in your bedroom.

[uncut bough]

well i bought the standing brazer, and the wolves keep touching it and get burnt

and it still doesn't illuminate the room that much, not so different than sconce

[pliant hatch]

And what about the Hanging Brazier?

[uncut bough]

yea this big house just makes me feel more empty than fulfilling, and without proper lighting, i don't even wanna live there, it is chilling

it does help but not too much, the house is still pretty dark, there are corners that the brazier cant reach

i had built multiple braziers, but it doesnt help that much

[pliant hatch]

What kind of walls do you have?
And how many floors?

[hearty niche]

I go with big open windows for that reason. Anytime I can not build walls, I do that.

[uncut bough]

wood wall, 1 floor

[uncut bough]

maybe i should try using windows too, i got too many crystals

[hearty niche]

I don't use the actual glass windows, even. I should try that.

[pliant hatch]

If you replace the 2m wall pieces for "wood wall half" and put two shutters on top of that, you're able to get more light in, while also being able to protect against bats.
Can put two "cage wall 1x1" in that area as well, making it even easier to keep the shutters open.

Depending at the length of your house walls, try to get 3-4 of those spots and you'll notice you got a lot more light inside your house.

[uncut bough]

shutter?

[pliant hatch]

A wall piece you unlocked the moment you made bronze nails.

[uncut bough]

oh no more bronze stuff

[hearty niche]

Its next to the doors on the hammer's Building menu

[pliant hatch]

It's what you put in front of your windows and which you can open / close

[uncut bough]

time to whip out my pick axe and get to the nearby black forest for soem copper then

[hearty niche]

If I made one change to the crafting, it would be "2 copper +1 tin = 2 bronze" instead of 1 bronze like it is

[uncut bough]

if i made 1 change to crafting, it would be 1 copper + 2 tin = 1 bronze

[hearty niche]

Yeah that would be better than 2 copper, I think, tin seems easier to obtain

[uncut bough]

i just hate mining copper, it is so horrible, it is loud, it is time consuming, it attracts troll or greydwarf that would constantly pebble me

mining iron is easy, but you have to find a lot of crypts and they take time to sail and then to discover crypts

and there is a LOT of recipes call for iron

[paper marsh]

yea I skip through bronze stuff as fast as I can. Can't be bothered with copper

[pliant hatch]

Never really had a problem with mining copper.
I just mine a trench around it, with a small pathway entering the trench, then start mining it out from below.
Put some fires and workbenches at regular places and you can repair the pickaxe and as long as the vein hasn't any holes in it, are sheltered for the rested bonus as well.
And most Greydwarves and trolls don't even come near enough to bother me.
If they do, too bad for them. 😄

[paper marsh]

Mistlands copper is a bit better, especially cuz it gives iron too

[uncut bough]

they need black metal pick ax i think

i tried going ham with iron pickaxe but no dice, all is "too hard"

[lavish karma]

Black metal pick axe, need world tree wood to make it.

[pliant hatch]

OK, update;

I got 77 stone left of that batch of 1750 I had mined.
With what I had mined before, I think I've processed about 5K stone by now.

And I haven't even done the stone walls of my base. 😮

[paper marsh]

yup yup but blackmetal is super easy to get

[kind pendant]

Oh yeah blackmetal is incredibly easy to obtain, so easy I just throw out any extra

[blazing junco]

haven't checked in in a while, how's ashlands coming along?

[uncut bough]

it is coming at snail's pace

you could help accelerate the process by dragging the softsnail to finish line

[paper marsh]

pretty good, and should be out within a few months 😄

[buoyant lake]

By end of June for sure 😂

[paper marsh]

Nothing in life is sure

Except Snails

[kind pendant]

I’m still trying to beat yagluth, just gotta find the spawner, I bet if I stepped a foot in the ashlands when it cones out i’d be (literally) incinerated

[uncut bough]

devs pulls a petty play by updating the game at end of june and at 11:59 PM local time

maybe it is Sweden time so GMT+2 but idk i am basically guessing at this point

[paper marsh]

and release the public test branch at 11:58 PM

[uncut bough]

and finish cooking snail at 11:57PM

[buoyant lake]

I don’t think they will do that

I’ll eat my dog if they do

[uncut bough]

i'll eat my hot if the don't

[azure yacht]

It will be released on ||31/06||

[lyric olive]

Should I make a new house on the plains or take the black metal to my meadows base?

[vocal rivet]

Don't be ridiculous.

[uncut bough]

i am being ridiculous?

[vocal rivet]

You'll need SOMETHING in the plains for the plains crops, but it doesn't need to be your main base.

[vocal rivet]

Why would they wait until the last possible minute?

[uncut bough]

because it was a joke and not meant to be taken literally?

[vocal rivet]

You've been here long enough to know that doesn't fly.

[lyric olive]

Oh thanks. I'm wondering if it's worth having a base there or just a smaller grounds. Did you smelt in the plains?

[vocal rivet]

I've never bothered, but it's a personal preference. If you don't want to sail stuff back to base and you're using standard rules then it might be worth smelting there.

[lyric olive]

It's just annoying having to remake all the forge and workbench upgrades lol

[vocal rivet]

You'll need the new furnace anyway.

[lyric olive]

Yeah I made that at my meadows base

[uncut bough]

finding fire geyser in swamp solves all the problem with surtling core to make as many furnace as you want, and also coals

i find 6 fire geysers in a swamp and i made sure to spend everyday and collect everything, when i have an abundance of surtling core i just put it in fire and it makes firework

[charred crane]

I looking for cheap yet effective server hosting, best bang for my buck, anyone know a guy?

[sour thistle]

is there any seeds with like the mountain biome right next to water i want to build so my house is covered in snow but i dont want it up high that i cant build a port for the boats

[loud valve]

Mountains have a minimum height requirement

[regal spoke]

May use the map site to find what you're looking for. But rivers can pull mountains to lower elevation

[light moat]

Needed just one more black core to finish all the work stations… the next mine I find has 5- a new record for me lol

[desert tangle]

Does mead uses the same slots as food?

[uncut bough]

guh? No if you use mead you get seperate effect

food slots are seperate from potion, so you can eat 3 food and still chug potions like nothing

[jade fog]

I have a dedicated server, looking for some people to do a casual run through with me, preferably those who like building.
Difficulty is on normal with no build cost and portal anything.
I’m on xbox so no mods, but you can put them on on your end if you want.

[paper marsh]

you should probably put all that in the description for your servers and lfg post, so people know what the server is about

[tidal rain]

Can anyone suggest a good server host for valheim?

[halcyon thistle]

does lingering stamina potion just increase regen or does it allow you to regen stamina while using stamina too?

just read on wiki, regen is not interrupted by stamina consuming actions, cool

[sage dock]

There's plenty in #1024264966712340510 unless you plan on buying a server or having someone buy a server to run your own

[tidal rain]

I'm looking to buy a server.

[sage dock]

Probably have a word shell-like to a mod or admin asking that question then. From personal experience, having a solely dedicated LAN server setup means people can join at any time and time zone with little to no lag or server upheavel

Nothing hurts a server more than lag issues when you're trying to build the next Camelot or something with a community

[pure blaze]

does it make sense to take poison resistance mead and wear a root mask at the same time?

do they stack?

[fair cairn]

they do not
but the mead gives more resistance

[sage dock]

Also means you dont lose armour value. Fully upgraded iron outpaces root armour

[warm depot]

my biggest ever base was in plains and it was amazing, I built a giant forge, what a blast

I recommend endgame bases in plains

[sage dock]

Agreed

Or a base in mountains that adjoins onto plains

Get the best of both worlds

[sage tendon]

hello

@sage dock hru

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.
I won't be around from Sunday (31/03) till Monday (08/04), going to London.
So if you don't hear from me don't be alarmed.

[torpid mango]

Have a nice trip

[uncut bough]

blink twice if gjall abducts you to London

[opal prairie]

I'm going willingly with the misses and the kids.

[uncut bough]

no hidden blinkings?

[opal prairie]

Nothing to hide, nor a need to tuck my thumb into my palm and closing my fingers over it.

[low crypt]

easy way to get weapon skill exp, make a lox breeding pit then wack the lox with whatever weapon of that type will deal the least amount of damage to them when its getting full

already at sword level 60

was at like 30 something before

[half dragon]

finally got fenris set to surpass my root armor set, which was almost maxed out

I am speed

[opal prairie]

¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!

[half dragon]

ngl, feels very great to not be burdened by negative speed "bonus", and then even replace it with more speed

[light moat]

Safe travels

[vocal rivet]

We'll be nearly neighbours!

[opal prairie]

Howdidelydoo nearly neighbourino.

[lyric olive]

Heh that's my home city

Hope you have a good experience

[opal prairie]

Been there, had a good experience.
We are taking the kids to their very first "big city" in a non dutch speaking country.

[lyric olive]

Ah that sounds fun 😁

Yeah London is big but honestly as long as you've done research on where you're going you'll be fine

[opal prairie]

We start with the paddington bus tour, we'll be visiting the natural history museum, we'll hop into harrod's for lunch one day (probably sushi because they love it.)
That big toy store is also on the itinerary as is the M&M and lego store.

[lyric olive]

Sounds like you've got it all planned out which is great 🙂

[opal prairie]

We have it planned out, with a few musts and a few if we have time and the kids can handle it.
Coven garden and the street performers is also a thing we'll do.

[uncut bough]

fenris armor is so good to have

[latent wraith]

If you're going to London then the street market in Camden can be recommended.

[uncut bough]

idk if the fenris set is underrated or not but extra speed is all the difference it makes between life or death

[vapid jackal]

I flat out recommend not going to london

Stabbistahn

[uncut bough]

sometimes walking speed alone just skirts outside the range of a lot of bite attack from enemies, like Mosquito, Lox, Leeches

London expectation: Double decker bus with british ensign plattered and painted on the bus, man walking in suit wearing top hat, drinks tea and speak with stereotypical bri'ish accent

[lyric olive]

Depends how much money you have lol

I usually recommend Camden Town for people who are either wanting a romantic location or to spend a lot of money in the market.

[paper marsh]

It’s a pretty liked set, but might still be a bit underrated

[opal prairie]

True and we will certainly pay it a visit but probably will just be passing through ish.

[uncut bough]

maybe it was slept on even though it is better than heavy armor in mountain tier

having extra speed is no joke, often you can just dictate the fight, not the enemies, by either choosing to fight and using the speed as an advantage to kite it with bow, or run and they wont catch u

that is if you have sufficient stamina of course

seeker soldier spotted, i am getting outta dodge in this one, byee,

[paper marsh]

Depends on play style. I think general heavy armor is better for players with lower skill as they can tank hits, but fenris is better for more skilled players that know how to use movement speed effectively to dodge attacks or kite enemies

[lyric olive]

I'd stick to the more central areas and activities that your children will enjoy as much as yourself. We all know no child enjoys a huge market place lol

[uncut bough]

honestly the reduction in armor isn't that life and death so i prefer mobility

and having added speed on top of unimpeded speed is god tier power, you dont fight what you cant win, so you run

[opal prairie]

Hence the probably just pass through, so they can see how it differs from our market in our local town.

[lyric olive]

Fair enough, there's a nice river at the back you could go to.

[uncut bough]

heavy armor makes running difficult while i can use fenring armor or root armor and parkour between trees in swamp

no more sludging in the deep water where leeches live

[sinful estuary]

Did i just miss something or does speer combat feels akward af?

[uncut bough]

idk it has been awkward for me since i used it a month ago

it is sad, just don't use the spear

[opal prairie]

I find it awkward as well.

[lyric olive]

I wish it was cheaper to make cosmetic items. Idk why the devs made it so expensive, all it does is mean you have to grind to make your base look nice

[paper marsh]

Same. I don’t run full fenris tho, I usually like the armor or eitr regen on a helmet better than the fenris helmet (because helmets don’t reduce movement) and the root chest is just too powerful on my difficulty

[uncut bough]

use atgeir instead, better pierce damage for none of spear downside

i use fenring cuz iahvent reached mistland

[paper marsh]

Atgeir uses a lot of stamina tho and attacks slowly, which is what kills it for me

I use root chest for all of swamps plains and mistlands, and for Moder

[uncut bough]

it is long range, and comes with a guaranteed stun for 99% of mobs beyblade attack

so it is worthy of the trade, if you prefer less stam usage then use bow, #1 source of pierce dmg

nothing is as good as bow, i tell you that much

[paper marsh]

Yea the secondary attack on atgeir pretty much just breaks the game. That’s why I banned it from my run (same for bow)

[opal prairie]

My next playtrough will be knives and bows, with the occasional mace.

[paper marsh]

Knives are so much fun

Prob my favorite weapon

Although nothing beats the fun of running under a Gjall and bombarding it with spears to the belly

[opal prairie]

I see you and raise you with jumping on a Gjall and knifing it to dead.

[paper marsh]

Sounds fun, is the hit box good enough for that?

I’ve mainly done it with axes and pickaxes that attack downward. Still just sucks not being able to hit the crit point

[half dragon]

got a brilliant idea to start capturing a mountain top all to myself, a base and spawn proof the top so I can build something nice there eventually

[torpid mango]

Why won't you just use a bow?

[vocal rivet]

Some people like to make things difficult for themselves.

[frigid gust]

I believe the technical term is "masochists" 😛

[torpid mango]

I know but with spears? Damn I mean I would never and I defeated sigrun on second hardest difficulty

[regal spoke]

Spears are life

[light moat]

Think the queen is the last thing I need to do in the mistalnds, feeling pretty solid.

[frozen fable]

Started a new world for the first time in weeks. Really like the seed and hopefully Ashlands is still on schedule to drop before June

[paper marsh]

Bows are way too OP

[paper marsh]

I defeated her on hardest 😅

Took a few days tho

[torpid mango]

Congrats, I defeated gna on the hardest because my health is more important than sigrun😭

[torpid mango]

I guess but they are a part of this game

[charred otter]

I am missing 1 iron to craft everything I wanted, what do I delay until I get more?

Iron Chestplate, Iron Leggings, longship, huntsman bow, iron sword, iron buckler

[paper marsh]

Health is important

[torpid mango]

Spawn one iron 🗿🍷

[paper marsh]

Yea nothing wrong with them, I just like a challenge. I’ll say tho trolls were absolute menaces to me

[half dragon]

bows are balanced as long as you do not level up the skill too much, so best way to avoid bows being OP is to not use them at all 😂

[torpid mango]

I die so much that I only loose skills

[charred otter]

lol

[paper marsh]

Get root chest instead of iron chest. Problem solved (root chest is light armor of swamp, insanely powerful)

[charred otter]

Root > iron?

[paper marsh]

Losing skills feels so bad

[paper marsh]

Root chest piece >>>> Iron chest piece. Helmet and pants are up to preference tho

The root chest piece gives pierce damage resistance, which means a lot of powerful enemies in the game do only half damage to you

Root chest isn’t the best in mountain but might as well make it now because it shines everywhere else

[half dragon]

is there a single building material immune to frost?

[lunar ridge]

you mean, the biome effect?

[half dragon]

no, the damage type

almost everything is resistant to it, but haven't found anything immune to it

[lunar ridge]

i know black marble is,

[charred otter]

Oh, some1 crafted me a root helm and said that for the rest I want iron
So I will have helm + cp root and then only iron leggings?
Feels a bit glassy for me, as I skill issue alot rn (and also no iron chestplate means I will need to get the root cp with troll cp)

[torpid mango]

Is it that poweful tho? I used it once with my knife only challenge and it was 😭

[half dragon]

ahh... black marble is quite far away. I guess stone floor with 1500 hp is sufficient to take a beating from drakes for a long ass time

[lunar ridge]

that was me, specifically so that you don't have to deal with making meads or running out of them in the middle of nowhere like you did. But the root chest is better in terms of benefits gleamed from it

[charred otter]

(I know), what about survivability, that's my main issue rn

[lunar ridge]

the pierce resistance(any resistance, for that matter) is no joke, it typically reduced any amount of damage recieved by the type in question by 50% which more than makes up for the armor difference, provided you are taking piercing damage. And in the swamp, the archers do pierce.

[half dragon]

mixed armor is pretty damn strong... but I can't bring myself to wear clown suits. Fashion is number 1

[paper marsh]

Root helmet is nice for swamp@bc it gives poison resist so you don’t have to make mead, although mead isn’t that hard to get.

You should be okay with just iron leggings in swamp, but I’d recommend you get a better helmet once you’re hanging out in mountains a lot (get mountain metal helmet)

[lunar ridge]

I feel that

A really nice full swamp setup is root helm/chest, iron legs, iron banded, iron mace.

[charred otter]

My fashion rn is rook mask, troll cp/cape and iron leggings

[lunar ridge]

Can switch root helm to iron helm if you have plenty of meads

[paper marsh]

Can’t you get good style with mixed armor?

[opal prairie]

The helm is only needed in the swamps for the poison resist.
You can drop it after swamp.
Root harnesk is pierce protect and helps versus the monsters you can't run away from in plains.
It lacks in armor compared to other armors of the same tier but it makes up for half damage from pierce.
Just stay away from fire.

[lunar ridge]

Root harnesk is the goat for both plains and mistlands, tbh.

[charred otter]

I am missing 1 iron to craft 2 armor pieces, can only craft 1, if I want to make a longship, huntsman bow, sword, buckler

[half dragon]

not many that look good... barely acceptable but still bothers how that 1 piece of armor looks out of place

[lunar ridge]

go get more then

[paper marsh]

Literally all the most common/most dangerous enemies in swamp plains and mistlands just reduced to tickles 😎

[charred otter]

I need to find another swamp and I will prob die

[lunar ridge]

That is simply the risk of doing business in swamps lol

[charred otter]

I want to prepare as much as possible with the iron I got now

[lunar ridge]

I won't deny that you got fairly unlucky with how much iron you found in your first swamp, but that's just how it be.

[paper marsh]

I will say tho, eventually you’ll need a lot more iron. It’s used quite a lot in later biomes so stocking up now isn’t a bad thing

[charred otter]

Yea but I die extremely easy now in the swamp, I don't think I can solo it yet, so I need to gear up before I go get more iron

[frigid gust]

At least 100 iron for the Plains tier stuff, about that for the Mistlands as well depending on what you want to make, plus construction uses... iron is always imperative 😉

[lunar ridge]

Classic catch22

[half dragon]

don't you get iron from mistlands as well?

[paper marsh]

Swamp imo is the hardest biome in the game. I wish thee luck

[charred otter]

Oh ye, I totally forgot about upgrading the forge/bench with iron, should I save some for those instead of gear?

[frigid gust]

You can, but it can be more of a pain to haul in and out because it's difficult to wear the Meginjord. It's ok if you set up your crafting in the Mistlands, but the Swamps are easier to get large shipments out of.

[frigid gust]

110%. All the upgrades should be priority.

[lunar ridge]

Plains takes 160 iron for fully upgraded padded armor alone, so if it were me I wouldn't be comfortable leaving swamps without at least 600 iron(20 stacks)

[paper marsh]

You’ll for sure need the upgrades to centrally, but right now gear might be more important

I only make padded helmet usually

[frigid gust]

Honestly, that's one of the major reasons I almost never build the Iron armor set. It's too important to use elsewhere, and much easier to kill the abominations in the swamp.

[half dragon]

there isn't exactly a need to rush anyway. I think it's perfectly fine to take your time to progress through each biome

[lunar ridge]

I always make maxed padded, because it's the coolest armor in the game and I will always wear it as much as I can get away with

[charred otter]

Priority should be get more iron -> be able to survive swamp more easily -> make gear to help u do that
Upgrading rn is only important if there r anything new I will be able to make that will help me survive

[lunar ridge]

Did you forget about raids? Stonecutter to make stone walls is nice.

[charred otter]

Raids aren't really an issue for me (I think?) I just deal with them manually and sometimes die once or twice

[half dragon]

I used to also think so, but then I got my hands on fenris set. it looks damn cool

[lunar ridge]

Well yeah but I'm not running up to seekers in fenris, so.....

[half dragon]

just don't get hit, ez

[lunar ridge]

I mean, it's not a bad idea. the fire resist + speed is nice but if you do get hit, you get clapped.

[paper marsh]

On Normal you could tank 2-3 seeker hits in fenris

[half dragon]

It's nice that they added more light armor to the game... just unfortunate that currently light armor stops progressing at mountains

[paper marsh]

What do you mean?

[lunar ridge]

And if I know anything about this game, it's that all the preparation and planning in the world can only protect you so much from the hardest enemy in the game - RNGsus

[half dragon]

or is there some light armor in mistlands?

[frigid gust]

Eitr set, baby

[paper marsh]

Ye there is. Just skips plains

[half dragon]

oh, I thought that ther's none after mountains since there's none in plains, didn't want to google too much info about mistlands yet

[frigid gust]

It's funny that mixing the fenris set and root chest is one of the best ways to deal with the Mistlands, especially because there's so much vertical terrain that eats up stamina and speed helps a ton with that

I've honestly found that 90% of my general gameplay is in light armor of some kind, I only switch to the heavier armors in dungeons or for boss fights, depending

[lunar ridge]

I deal with Mistlands going very slowly, tank&spank style so it's just a difference in playstyle I guess

[half dragon]

so far been going 100% light armor, almost done with mountains

probably have to end that streak for pillaging fuling villages tho

[lunar ridge]

Also considering carapace armor is literally made from seekers, you'd think at least 1 part of the set would offer pierce resistance.

[frigid gust]

Hunter's bow, just pull them off in small groups 😉

[half dragon]

I'd rather not with rather pitiful bow skill lol. that's going to take forever

[frigid gust]

You don't need it for damage. It's just a small noise radius to get the attention of one or a few enemies at a time instead of the whole village.

[paper marsh]

Huntersbow best bow

[charred otter]

Hunterbow is huntsman or is that different?

[lunar ridge]

It's the goat for bows

Same, we all call it different

[paper marsh]

same. And it's a very good bow. Up to preference but I actually like it better than all other bows in the game

[frigid gust]

Same thing. Hard to remember the exact in-game name 😉 The swamp-tier bow.

[vocal rivet]

Always best to use the in-game name to avoid confusion.

[charred otter]

I also do that sometimes, just making sure it is the same and not some other bow

[lunar ridge]

You can still scale the damage from huntsman bow up with higher tier arrows, and the sound dampening effect is extremely helpful.

[half dragon]

feather bow, I'll call it that

[frigid gust]

I do quite like the Spinesnap any more, though. It's a lot of fun to use.

[lunar ridge]

my only gripe with the spinesnap is that it's very stamina taxing for the little bit of damage gain since you can't max upgrade it yet

[paper marsh]

Since I can't use bows I've been using ||crossbow|| a lot and it's a lot of fun. The sneak attacks from halfway across the map are perfect

[charred otter]

What's special about that bow?

[paper marsh]

It is less likely to alert enemies <-- Huntsman bow

[lunar ridge]

I think he's asking about spinesnap here

[paper marsh]

In that case, I'd say progress through the game and find out!

[lunar ridge]

Yeah, go do the game!

[frigid gust]

Spinesnap is just the top-tier currently 😉 If you fire just one arrow it's roughly equivalent in damage to the Draugr Fang, but if you fire more than one every 5 seconds the snap overtakes with damage.

[charred otter]

Was asking about huntsman, no idea what's that lol

[lunar ridge]

We said it already though, twice

[paper marsh]

All bows alert enemies in a 8 meter radius from where the arrow lands. Huntsman only alerts in a 4 meter radius, meaning you can sneak attack groups of enemies without alerting too many of them. Allowing you to do more sneak attacks and deal with smaller groups of enemies at a time. Becomes especially helpful in the plains

[lunar ridge]

dis one

[charred otter]

Yeye, I understood ur msg, didn't understand the "sound dampening effect" tofu said

[lunar ridge]

Lol.

[arctic garnet]

Been playing Enshrouded with some friends. The parry window is extremely small there compared to here. Now I get what people mean when they say parrying here is really easy, which it kinda is.

[paper marsh]

Parrying is hard for me but it has nothing to do with the parry window 😅

[lunar ridge]

Coming from Dark Souls games I often messed up my parries in Valheim because I wasn't expecting the window to be so wide, and if you do it too early it doesn't go off at all

Fixed that issue but it took some getting used to

[paper marsh]

My problem is the mobs doing too much damage for my lil viking fella to be able to parry 😭

A certain... lategame item... helps with that tho. No longer fear 2 star fuling brutes

[lunar ridge]

That's what you get for going Hard Mode

[charred otter]

Aight, got 99 iron total (triggers it's not 100)
20 per iron armor
10 for longship
20 for bow
20 for sword
10 for buckler
20 for axe + 20 for pickaxe
+the stations
Which one of these do I go for?
I think bow sword buckler and ship, and then iron leggings?

[lunar ridge]

Would recommend not building the buckler, instead build banded, it's stronger for normal blocking and takes less iron

[regal spoke]

Does banded have 2.5 parry multiplier though

[charred otter]

Even tho I lose the parry?
Nutty: it has 1.5

[lunar ridge]

you dont lose parry. you can still parry, you just don't get the block modifier

Also if you parry even with the banded you will completely nullify the damage from mobs anyway, unless you're dealing with a starred draugr elite

[paper marsh]

Banded still parries well, just slightly slightly less good. If you always parry I'd say go for buckler, but if you miss them sometimes banded is nice

[paper marsh]

Definitely get workstation stuff, but wait with it. Don't get the axe, it's useless (bronze works basically just as well, iron doesn't unlock any new wood)

I'd say get just 1 iron armor but up to you

[uncut bough]

get the black metal axe, otherwise skip axes, get bronze ax

[charred otter]

I try to always parry, sometimes I obviously miss tho, not sure how much I miss

[uncut bough]

bronze ax carries you through till mistlands, then u have better ax to get

[paper marsh]

Both are good choices, I don't think it matters much tbh

[regal spoke]

The parry window brought up earlier is pretty big. I've been able to correct an early block with a follow up and get the parry.

[uncut bough]

it is funny, i toggled more raids and all i have been seeing is the annoying bats and more annoying bats

[charred otter]

If I go for banded I can then get 2 iron armor (at least until I get the rooted cp)

[uncut bough]

where are the fulings, i need their metal

[lunar ridge]

I usually build blackmetal axe regardless because it feels weird using bronze still at that stage, + there's an abundance of black metal via greenboi meadow spawns

[paper marsh]

lvl 4 blackmetal axe demolishes trees 😈

edit: sorry not sorry Elder 🤭

[uncut bough]

that is why i say when he gets to plain he makes black metal axe, i dont see a problem with what i said

[lunar ridge]

I don't see where I said there was

[uncut bough]

since he would 100% need the axe in mistland, others are useless

[regal spoke]

Iron helm, root chest, troll legs, iron buckler. Not having any trouble in swamp

[paper marsh]

Tofu is saying blackmetal axe is useful in plains too, just for general wood gathering. In ADDITION to unlocking mistlands wood

[uncut bough]

ah i misunderstood then, i was referring the same, make black metal axe in plains since he would need it in mistland, but otherwise there isn't rush

[regal spoke]

I agree to skipping iron axe. Iron pick though

[uncut bough]

he might prefer using metals to make best chests in game

[charred otter]

Rn it's just what I get first, I will get pickaxe/tool stations later once I can survive swamp

[pure blaze]

why don't stone golems and trolls fight each other like trolls and abominations do? They belong to differen bioms, should be hostile to each other

[uncut bough]

i just hate stone golems with a passion

[paper marsh]

They're the same faction. Mobs in same biomes are generally same faction, but not always

[lunar ridge]

If Iron were slightly less annoying to get it'd be a different story, but the way swamps are, sometimes you get lucky sometimes you're cursed so you really gotta ration your iron

[paper marsh]

Greydwarves, trolls, golems, etc. are forest faction

[charred otter]

That gave me an idea, is it viable to lure a troll to swamp so he fights the aboms for u? lol

[uncut bough]

it gives no good drop, it is resistance to anything but pickaxe damage, and it is generally a hassle to deal with

[pure blaze]

oh, ok

[regal spoke]

Stone golem basically used to be mountain troll

[paper marsh]

Similarly, skeletons and greydwarves both spawn in Black Forest. But Skeletons are undead, greydwarves are forest. They'll fight

[uncut bough]

like at least troll and abom gives stuff so you make good armor out of

[lunar ridge]

I like the crystals it drops, also the golem trophy is a very nice item stand occupier

[uncut bough]

golem is just laughably annoying

[lunar ridge]

Also the golem trophy is really rare

[paper marsh]

I feel the pain tho, despite having this knowledge I sometimes still try and drag a troll over to a golem to even out the fight, only to realize I made it much worse 😭

[lunar ridge]

On average I end up having to kill like 25 golems just to get 1 trophy, it's bad

[light moat]

Kinda forgot golems have trophies lol

[paper marsh]

I hate fighting golems, never got a golem trophy

Probably hate them because they're annoying, got meh drops, and I don't tend to use blunt weapons

I wonder if I should try using my lvl 4 BM pick on them

[uncut bough]

just parry it and get on with life as soon as possible

[light moat]

I’m really surprised Crystal isn’t used for some sort of galdr table upgrade.

[lunar ridge]

It'd definitely do more damage, but it's also just a dickpull having to land hits with the pick on them

[uncut bough]

i just hate how annoyingly tanky it is, and how it gives nothing but mostly useless crystals and useless rocks

[paper marsh]

I tend to throw them in a pit so they don't respawn and I have to deal with them again

[uncut bough]

like i know stones are fine but if i am in mountain, i am NOT there to gather stone

[toxic rose]

And you could just walk (even not run) from them

[jovial cliff]

Sup y’all I’m new here, did I hear right Valheim finally getting the Ashland update!?

[paper marsh]

I found a Golem on my current run who is standing at the edge of a rock cliff. Dunno if he spawned there or walked out there and tried to hit something, effectively sealing off his path back, but he's just stuck there now. Good farm for... endgame weapon skill

[lunar ridge]

more crystal for my crystal battleaxe Even if I don't end up using it, it's a nice wall-hanger

[paper marsh]

By the first half of this year it will! So within like 3 months it'll come out yea

[light moat]

It’s the next update planned, yep! Coming out sometime in the first half of this year.

[toxic rose]

Anybody know what was on gdc?

[charred otter]

just slightly slightly less good
How "slightly" is that 100% base difference?
Maybe I don't make an iron sword as it's not that much better than my lvl 3 bronze

[paper marsh]

I love crystal battleaxe but I ended up having to donate it to a friend because the movement speed almost got me killed on 3 seperate occassions after an hour of using it

[jovial cliff]

I can’t wait so my friend can finally stop playing warframe and get back with meon our adventures

[paper marsh]

yea you don't need iron sword if you have lvl 3 bronze. One thing that might throw a wrench in your plans tho is that the boss for swamp can be kinda tough if you don't have a mace. Just a tip!

[lunar ridge]

I will often run Fenris = Baxe for that nice balance-out movespeed, keeping it 11% instead of 20%

[paper marsh]

ooh sounds fun. Speeding around slicing people up

[lunar ridge]

Also just the black + glowy crystal is aethetically pleasing

[uncut bough]

the best forger out there has finally sucessfully breeded Baxe, Battle and Axe, similar to Lox

[lunar ridge]

It's a holdover from my Runescape playing days, sorry

[paper marsh]

you guys see...|| the ashlands axe||? Can't wait to get my hands on that

[lunar ridge]

||Axe(s)?||

[paper marsh]

I need to get my axe skill up more

[lunar ridge]

Hopefully they tune it differently than the jotun bane

[paper marsh]

I just feel like I run the risk of getting killed anytime I use a melee weapon that's not spear or knife

[charred otter]

I will obviously get more iron, it's just for now until I do, but maybe I do go for iron mace now so it's leveled up for the boss

Considering either iron chestplate + leggings (until I get root cp) + a buckler and keep bronze sword OR, go for banded and then go for either mace or sword, choices r hard

[paper marsh]

choices are hard. Just gotta make one and stick to it

Also be sure to bring health and stamina potions when going to swamp, they can really save your life out there

[lunar ridge]

especially stamina pots....

[charred otter]

How does the cooldown work on those?

[paper marsh]

I believe there's a 2 minute cooldown. So after you drink a health potion, its 2 minutes before you can drink another health potion. After you drink a stamina potion, it's 2 minutes before you can drink another stamina potion

[nocturne wolf]

You can't drink the same type (all healing/all stamina) of meads

So drinking a minor healing mead would apply a cooldown to medium healing meads

[charred otter]

oh alr, so ye no point in crafting both medium and small healing

[lunar ridge]

Also super niche, but you can technically use tasty meads and stamina meads together

[charred otter]

Oh yep I made some of those

[frigid gust]

Tasty mead is like Eikthyr in a bottle. It's super handy.

[nocturne wolf]

You get better stamina regen meads in mistlands. Tasty meads are best used for tankards with friends after killing a boss

[lunar ridge]

Or when large-scale building

Definitely not OSHA approved though

[frigid gust]

Tasty meads are super useful for running away from enemies, or when you keep running low on stamina when battling a boss. I used almost a stack of them against Yagluth, let me get in a lot more hits when I otherwise wouldn't be able to

[light moat]

“Alright guys, we’ll be extending the top of watchtower, make sure you bring your alcohol”

[lunar ridge]

The true viking way

Funnily enough, I actually died making that Watchtower because I ran out of stamina mid-jump and fell the whole way down

[charred otter]

Wait huh, why is lvl 3 bronze the same as lvl 3 iron, I can just grind some bronze instead and upgrade it, and then maybe upgrade huntsman bow

[paper marsh]

The true viking way is doing melee only in mountains. Smacking a dragon feels so godamn satisfying (don't think any other feeling in Valheim comes close)

[light moat]

How about plunging onto a serpent to finish it off melee?

[lunar ridge]

I love bringing a blackmetal tower shield to Yag fights, and just tanking meteors to the gob for 10 straight minutes

[paper marsh]

hmmm, fair. I am quite partial to the secondary attack knife on a dying serpent

[frigid gust]

I tell you what, the snap-point cycling has almost eliminated my deaths while building. No more need to balance on a janky corewood pole, I can place a floor piece where I want it for either scaffolding or just in general, I don't have to get to a weird position to get it to auto-snap.

[light moat]

Snap point cycling is a huge boon for sure

[lunar ridge]

Hard to explain why I died without showing a picture of the watchtower I was building

[paper marsh]

the snapping was such a huge improvement. And I say that while only putting together shitty lil shack builds throughout my runs before the update. Now I'm finally trying to create a nice looking house

[lunar ridge]

It was also just a 100% greed move on my part so it was entirely avoidable

I fucked around and found out

[frigid gust]

Then there's the feather cape, and now I just make people watching me stream uncomfortable when I just jump off the porch of my plains-spire to get to the ground level faster 😛

[lunar ridge]

In my sky castle I built I had a feathercape escape hatch for that reason

[frigid gust]

I really need to do a console world one of these days and make a proper floating castle, spawn some floating rocks in.

[lunar ridge]

Yeah it was a massive challenge though, mostly of engineering

[charred otter]

Btw tofu do I put the longship in the iron area or in the main base

[lunar ridge]

well, if you're going to be sailing back with iron anyway, I would construct the ship where your iron is

saves 1 full boat ride

[charred otter]

I won't, all of it will be used

[lunar ridge]

you'll still want the metals from the forge you made to make it right?

If you don't care about the metals used for the forge, feel free to abandom and make the ship at your main base

[charred otter]

Wdym?

[lunar ridge]

You made a forge to craft iron bars into useable iron items, yes?

[hearty niche]

It's about time to change out the "You Feel Cold" m mug with "The Bees Are Happy".

[charred otter]

Ye what u made, also a troll just smashed one of the walls in my base, fuck (raid)

[hearty niche]

I guess it is officially spring

[half dragon]

My country can't make up it's mind. There have been 4 chances for snow to melt away, but it just keeps coming back

[lunar ridge]

Okay so the decision making process goes like this:

Do you want to keep the copper spent on forge? ---> Yes ---> Build boat near forge, break forge, put forge in boat, sail boat.

Do you not care about the copper spent on forge? --- > No ---> Okay, build boat at main base.

I cannot make it any clearer than that

[charred otter]

Yea honestly I don't really care about that, I will anyways need to grind some more bronze at the main base, and ig the swamp there has no more crypts so finding one with direct access to the main base is a good idea
Also how do I prevent the longship from being broken due to mobs

[lunar ridge]

Either completely protect it with builds, which is a giant undertaking in which I would not recommend, or just break the boat down to the materials used with your weapon and store them in a box.

[half dragon]

either keep the ship away from location where mobs can get close to it, or keep the mobs away

[heady parcel]

Mobs only attack it if they are active - which means if you (or other players) are in its vicinity. If you are away doing other things, the boat will be safe. If you are nearby, you should be able to defend it. Either that or just break it down into parts and stash it in a chest.

[lunar ridge]

build boat again when you need to use it

[charred otter]

Do raids (troll tier) disable sprinting or smthing cuz I am very slowed even when sprinting, or maybe thats the iron armor?

[lunar ridge]

Yes, iron armor gives a movespeed penalty of +5 per chest + legs, so +10% total for both pieces.

helmet does not impose movespeed penalty.

[frigid gust]

That's one of the downsides of heavy armor, you slow down. When in combat (and just in general) you need to get used to not sprinting everywhere, it just means you use all your stamina moving and have none left for combat.

[charred otter]

I feel way more than 10% slower

[grave wagon]

You can mix and match things as much as you like as long as they aren't the same faction as mentioned. I recently harpooned a serpent and dragged it right to a troll so he could smash it for me quickly.

[heady parcel]

Using a tower shield?

[lunar ridge]

well, it's 10% from the armor + whatever weapons.

[heady parcel]

Or Stagbreaker? That one slows you down even more

[charred otter]

Bronze buckler, probably 20% total

[lunar ridge]

Yes, it compounds so you're probably experiencing 20% movespeed reduction

[nocturne wolf]

The buckler's stats will show your total movespeed next to the bucklers movespeed reduction

[charred otter]

I feel like I am not even sprinting, the speed feels like normal walking

[lunar ridge]

That's also part of the reason we like recommending the root harnesk, it's -2% instead of 5%

[heady parcel]

If you don't know, pressing R will put weapon + shield on your back and remove movement penalty from those. Good for running when you're not fighting

[nocturne wolf]

It will slow you for a short amount of time, so be careful when you do this

[charred otter]

Rn I have 2 trolls on me and on 30% health

[lunar ridge]

then put all your shit away and book it lol

[grave wagon]

To add to this, if you switch to your hammer there's no animation for the switch and you get rid of the movement penalty of your items instantly so you can get away from danger if you're being chased/attacked

[heady parcel]

Even knowing this, I keep using R, triggering the animation. Either I'm just thick and dull-witted, or I just subconsciously consider the hammer workaround a "cheese" and won't do it for that reason. I think it's just that R is in my instincts from so many other games..

[lunar ridge]

"If the game lets me cheese, it's parmesan time." - Me, 2024

But if it's not a practiced response then you're unlikely to actually do it when it matters most

[heady parcel]

Oh joy, clever me. Set out on a long Mistlands trek to move my expedition portal. Only after running into a starred gjall do I realise I forgot the damn fire resist meads...

[lunar ridge]

Always a classic.

[charred otter]

I feel like I wasted 40 iron on that heavy armor

[heady parcel]

I just got back to 100 in Run skill after last death 😂

[lunar ridge]

Such is the way of lesson learning

But, now you know if you ever do another playthrough, you probably won't want to make iron armor

Praise our lord and savior, root set

[charred otter]

Were u that slow when u played with me? did u switch armor when we were running in the swamp?

[paper marsh]

I forgot how fun it is to fight Gjall. I mean they're a menace if I'm stuck behind a rock and a hard place and they bombard me from above, but if I just lure them to an unmisty flat piece of land it's so fun to run under them and erase their underbelly with spears

[heady parcel]

Heavy Armour for Life! Can't be running around in some kinky leathers when mobs want to bonk me! Tank style here...

[lunar ridge]

I was that slow, yes. The difference is I'm practiced in unequipping my weapons when not in use, and I make sure to skill my run skill as early as I can

Cardio, cardio, cardio

[paper marsh]

I usually go Troll (maybe bronze helmet) --> Root chest (maybe iron helmet, keep troll pants)

But first run having higher armor is for sure nice. Can never overprepare, you often save time overpreparing vs underpreparing and getting in a bad situation

[lunar ridge]

We share the same braincell

[heady parcel]

100 run skill does help in that regard

[charred otter]

My run skill is 33 rn (jump 20)

[paper marsh]

100 run is awesome

[heady parcel]

Well now it's 95, but thoon..

[frigid gust]

Worst thing that might happen with overpreparing is you have a few more things to toss in the obliterator at the end of the day 😉

[lunar ridge]

I try pretty hard to get my run skill to around 50 before swamp

The monsters near my base have learned to fear the sound of eikthyr active.....

[paper marsh]

Look at the silver lining, at least it's not hardcore death penalty

[charred otter]

Damn that seems grindy, but ig I will get some bronze to get my bronze buckler to iron-lvl so hopefully it gets there

[paper marsh]

Fast movement speed and low stamina drain is so nice to have for Moder and Yag boss fights

[ember panther]

I like putting my old armor sets on stands for decoration, but yeah was surprised how little I actually used iron armor. The helmet lasted the longest but now its been replaced by the drake helm

[lunar ridge]

It's really not that bad, if you start from day 1 you'll be there naturally by like, 45 run skill. I just like seeing the number 50.

[charred otter]

My issue with heavy armor is I never learned to fight trolls using melee, so they just hit me twice and my health is gone

[paper marsh]

Personally I don't like heavy armor. I love being able to actually move. Only heavy armor I tend to wear is helmet, because it doesn't make you slower

[ember panther]

Parry side sweeping attacks and dodgeroll the overheads

[frigid gust]

May I introduce you to the gospel of the atgeir?

[charred otter]

I have been trying to sprint basically always, maybe I just don't walk enough lol

[lunar ridge]

I basically never even move during yag fights, tbh. Just stand in 1 spot with blackmetal tower shield and silver sword lol

[paper marsh]

I tend to activate Eikthyr and go for an exploratory run whenever it's off cooldown. Good way to get run skill

[charred otter]

Out of my budget, missing iron

[frigid gust]

Bronze atgeir is more than enough for trolls 😉 But I'd highly recommend at least building the Blackmetal one after you deal with the Mountains

[paper marsh]

sounds like fun, I don't trust it on this difficulty tho 😅

Plus I've pretty much sworn off tower shields

[heady parcel]

True! But I'd never subject myself to that level of masochism. I know it's a popular thing around here, but gods I could never endure that...

[charred otter]

Wdym by overheads, and I should prob learn how to dodgeroll, never really used it

[lunar ridge]

if you see troll about to slam the ground, dont try to parry or even block it

[paper marsh]

dodgerolls are very nice. Basically same timing as parrying. You get invincibility frames when dodging

[lunar ridge]

Just leave the immediate area

[charred otter]

I can't really do that with heavy armor

[lunar ridge]

It's 100% possible just gotta react

Also keep in mind, your dodgeroll speed doesn't change with armor speed penalty

[ember panther]

The overhead smash with unarmed troll and overhead hammer with log troll are very heavy hits. Won't be able to parry for a while

[paper marsh]

with troll being faster than you the tip is to wait for them to start attacking you, then run. Always conserve stamina so you can run out of their attack once they stop to perform an attack. Takes a bit to get used to but very reliable

[frigid gust]

That's why you use the atgeir and just stun them before they can smash 😛

[charred otter]

Oh getting invic frames is nice, I thought it was just a movement thing

[heady parcel]

BLUE SMASH!!! <bonk>

[nocturne wolf]

The only thing I've found that rolling can't protect you from is a rolling log.

[lunar ridge]

atgeir ~abusers~ users be like:

[paper marsh]

yup yup. Most people just dodge roll directly into enemies (meaning, they don't really move) because they become invincible for like first half of the roll. So then they're right there to start attacking again

[heady parcel]

I kinda enjoy punishing the troll race by disdainfully parrying and poking them with something sharp, once I'm big and bad enough

[ember panther]

Parry into special knife attack is so satisfying

[paper marsh]

Lategame I like to throw my spear at them to take out 2/5 of their hp and stagger them, then run in and do 3 more hits to finish them off

[arctic garnet]

Spin 2 win is goofy, but not as fun or satisfying as the DWONG of a parry.

[nocturne wolf]

Spinning is way more fun

[charred otter]

I have stamina, it's just that iron armor means I can't outrun them

[lunar ridge]

a fun interaction, not with parry, but with a towershield block is that it sends the enemy back aways, so then you knife secondary to catch them

[paper marsh]

Ever do that while jumping through the air?

Jumping at an enemy, parrying their projectile midair, then activating secondary knife attack and landing on them just hits different

[nocturne wolf]

With iron armor, why do you need to outrun them?

[charred otter]

To dodge attacks

[frigid gust]

It's just the best way to get your troll armor set at the start, IMO. Once you have the initial bronze atgeir you can go into the troll caves almost with impunity (as long as they aren't starred) and get the hide much more easily.

[arctic garnet]

Atgeir eats trolls for breakfast

[paper marsh]

Also @charred otter very important tip: Prioritize food as much as you can. Food is generally seen as more important than gear. Always get the food upgrades from a biome as fast as you can and try to make as much food you can to stay alive. I personally recommend using 2 hp foods (red fork) and 1 stamina food (yellow fork)

[lunar ridge]

Haha bronze buckler go bong

[nocturne wolf]

Polearms can do this too

[charred otter]

Oh cool thing that they r color coded, never noticed that
rn I have minced meat, carrot stew and deer stew

[lunar ridge]

An adendum: Max health is part of the block stagger calculation so if you are running triple HP food and block, you take significantly less stagger

[paper marsh]

Pretty good, try to find turnips in the swamp if you can. They're hard to find but they look the same as carrot seeds, just yellow.

They will help you make awesome food

[charred otter]

Anywhere or in the middle-ish?

[lunar ridge]

you will have more luck looking for it where the biome merges with others since the turnip seeds dont spawn underwater

[paper marsh]

Anywhere in swamp. Just keep an eye out, they're easy to miss and rarer than carrot seeds

[arctic garnet]

I still wish upgrading two-handed weapons increased their block armor for higher level parrying, since they need to do both.

[ember panther]

Flying knife attacks are my favorite ☺️ haven't done that exactly but sounds cool af

[paper marsh]

It's awesome

[frigid gust]

They will typically be on the tiny hilly areas in my experience, they have to be above the water level. If you see the bushes and such, those are possible places you can find turnips

[lunar ridge]

My goldilocks zone is looking around the raised area where swamp meets black forest

a good amount higher probability to find them

You also can get spooked by carrot seeds though

[nocturne wolf]

I usually find my first turnips after I have all the items I need for bonemass

[lunar ridge]

The only thought in my head when I first enter swamp is "WHERE TURNIP?"

[paper marsh]

Anyone here tend to permanently skip any bosses?

[nocturne wolf]

I've never tried it

[ember panther]

I was very lucky to find turnips in my first swamp... Didn't have crypts but totally worth

[lunar ridge]

yeah, I skip the queen

[ember panther]

Permanently? No. Why would you?

[paper marsh]

I sometimes temporarily skip a boss like bonemass or yag but this is my first run committing to just straight up not killing bonemass

[paper marsh]

Skipping bonemass because wolf raid would be the death of me, especially during Moder fight. Also his power is boring and silver is easy enough to find (and you don’t need much of it).

Also it’s no map and although I’ve found 8 vegvisirs for him I’m too lazy to go find him

[frigid gust]

If Bonemass' power wasn't so useful I'd consider it

For those of us that aren't gigachad combat geniuses, Bonemass really helps 😛

[paper marsh]

Bc I have max raid rate I think I’d on average get a wolf raid about every 20 minutes I’m in mountain/plains

[lunar ridge]

Sounds like a lot of free pelts to me

But I don't run Hard Mode

[paper marsh]

Not very free. They’d mess me up and make me lose everything 😭

[fair cairn]

....get gud?

[ember panther]

I guess that makes sense. Can you still get wolf raids after defeating moder tho?

[paper marsh]

Wolf raid in plains can be pretty fun tho

[lunar ridge]

Yeah you still get them after Moder

[paper marsh]

Yes Senpai, for you I will

[fair cairn]

i think thats one of the raids that dont get disabled

[paper marsh]

Yea they stay forever after bonemass death. Same as troll surtling and bat stay forever once activated

[lunar ridge]

And skeleton surprise

[fair cairn]

i also think the blob raids persist

[ember panther]

I love surtlings so I'm not sure I wanna add any more raids either

[lunar ridge]

But think, for every extra raid you add, you're less likely to get bats

[paper marsh]

Bats aren’t terrible for me. Give me a bit of block skill and they’re less deadly than other raids when getting them out in the open away from home

[ember panther]

Don't have bats yet either. Making me consider skipping boneymass now too

[nocturne wolf]

The first bat raid is the worst, because they kill your boars. But then you want more because it's your new source of leather.

[lunar ridge]

They're free, just incredibly annoying

[paper marsh]

I do have bats tho bc it’s player based events on my run

[lunar ridge]

Me minding my own damn business cooking in my cauldron when bats fly through my window

[frigid gust]

I don't mind bats, what I do dislike is that my chickens keep seeming to die randomly any more, and I can't figure out how. Might be just a load order thing, but every now and then I find a pile of feathers and chicken meat in my pen. It's fully sealed and has a hanging brazier with no way for the smoke to get down to the floor level where they are, so I'm just baffled at this point.

[lunar ridge]

Do you stay up during the night?

Are the accessible by greydwarf shamans?

[ember panther]

Yeah likely shaman poison cutting through

[lunar ridge]

I've lost more than a few chickens to shaman poison before starting to put them in the heart of my bases

[paper marsh]

Could it be Odin going and grabbing a midnight snack?

Also I've recently started to notice interactions with hugin/munin. I'm not sure yet but I feel like I've seen deathsquitoes target them, and they (seem) to trigger cleave penalty as well?

Might have just been weird scenarios tho, but I like the idea of them influencing the world

Especially since I often take care not to talk to them because I like them pointing out hidden dungeons, mines, skulls, etc.

[ember panther]

What does munin even do?

[lunar ridge]

Honest to god sounds like late-onset paranoia caused by playing on Hard Mode

[paper marsh]

Jokes on you I play Very Hard. Next explanation

[lunar ridge]

Oh, my bad, you right

[frigid gust]

Tells you things that Hugin doesn't

[regal spoke]

@paper marsh how's no-map mistlands working out

[fallen zephyr]

Munin be ravin'! He loves his EDM.

[ember panther]

I don't trust him. Those red eyes are sus

Finally boss maybe

[regal spoke]

You think Munin is a junglist?

[paper marsh]

great so far. been getting lost surprisingly little (well, I get a tad lost everytime I go in, but I get my bearings quickly. Building a couple way markers on top of the spires that go way above the mist is super helpful. Can always get my bearings by climbing a spire

Still need to beat yag and get some wisps tho. I often have to drag more dangerous enemies to more flat and mistless areas to fight them properly

[fallen zephyr]

I feel like Munin might be more hardstyle... 😛

[fallen zephyr]

How do you use way markers without a map?

[paper marsh]

two wood poles and one of those triangular wooden build pieces to use as an arrow, bulit on top of a mistlands spire. Great way to point you towards home

[fallen zephyr]

Ahhh, ok. That's cool. Also highly dependent on draw distance.

[regal spoke]

Way points above the mist is a smart idea. You're a mad lad running in there without wisp.

[paper marsh]

It's not too bad. Got most the mistlands gear I need now too

Especially nice that some parts of mistlands doesn't have mist

I got lucky getting 7 cores from the 2 mines I found

seekers aren't too scary. Think a 1 star seeker tends to do a bit less damage to me than a 0 star lil green boi with a stick

[fallen zephyr]

I frikkin' hate wisps. Could they have been coded with less of the ADHD maybe? I don't understand why we didn't just get an enhanced version of the Dverger circlet for Mistlands.

[paper marsh]

rude. The ADHD looks really cool when they're swirling around the Yag stone thingies, letting the mist bob back and forth around them

[fallen zephyr]

Why do I care that a Mistlands tool is useful in the Plains?

[ember panther]

Ugh mistlands sounds scary. I've been pathing and building along everywhere I go. Currently got a staircase running both directions around a mountain. Guess it's good practice for mistlands

[paper marsh]

I meant them swirling around the things build from torn spirits, in the mistlands

[frigid gust]

I think the biggest thing I'd like with the Mistlands is some sort of accessibilty upgrade. I use the sounds of the Mists a ton to know when I'm in danger, but not everyone has good hearing or even good speakers/headphones.

[paper marsh]

I need to get to building a path through this mistlands. Would just be nice to see while I do it (I'm gonna spam wisp torches so hard when I get them)

I realized just recently, do Gjall not glow unless they're aware/aggroed on something?

[frigid gust]

If you have any yggdrasil wood at all you can already make them... they don't even require a workbench. Just wisps and yggdrasil wood.

[paper marsh]

Don't have wisps. Still need to do Yag (despite the fact that I found his spawn way before finding Moder 😜 )

[fallen zephyr]

Which requires a Wisp Fountain...

[frigid gust]

But still getting cores... gotcha. Silly.

[paper marsh]

Silly is what we do 😎

Why else would one parry fuling brutes with ones fists

[regal spoke]

Knowing you enough, I would guess for the challenge

[paper marsh]

mist ||magic ||shield actually unlocks so much melee potential. Being able to parry enemies lets me just absolutely delete them with a spear or knife

[fallen zephyr]

Worst. Conceal. Ever. 😛

[paper marsh]

I think it's concealing enough. Doesn't seem like much of a spoiler that Mistlands has a shield, all other biomes do

[frigid gust]

Are you talking about the ||blood magic bubble shield||? Or just the regular shield/buckler?

[vague elk]

how come seekers spawn in my meadows world when i never visited mistlands

every night ticks / seekers

[paper marsh]

first one. Regular shield isn't nearly enough for a lot of these enemies

[paper marsh]

They start spawning at night once you kill Yagluth

You'll also start getting seeker raids at that point

[vague elk]

but i only killled eithyr 😄

[fallen zephyr]

That's the nature of the residents of Klendathu. Are you doing your part?!

[paper marsh]

Anyone else play on the server?

[vague elk]

ye

[frigid gust]

So wait... does that increase your defense and ability to parry with a shield?

[dense steppe]

Someone killed the queen 😼

[paper marsh]

my bad it's actually queen

[paper marsh]

Then that's why. World progresses as a whole, not individually for each player

[frigid gust]

Nighttime spawns are world-state linked, they aren't affected by player-based raids unfortunately

[paper marsh]

It can be rough joining a world where people are far ahead

[lunar ridge]

Yeah. Getting rocked by seekers in the meadows when you're new is 100% not a fun time

[strange arrow]

also some of us surely have folk sleeping and can't have sound blaring out

[vague elk]

😦

[dense steppe]

I killed the queen, but I didn't hang the trophy on a rock, so I don't get bugs at night 😸

[fallen zephyr]

Black Forest at night is rough when you've killed The Queen. You get fulings, seekers, and ticks. And frequently at the same time.

[vague elk]

but server has player based raids

[fair cairn]

solution, headphones = privacy, better gaming

[lunar ridge]

I was under the impression that it happens regardless of if you've hung the trophy?

[fair cairn]

player based raids wont stop natural spawns

[paper marsh]

Yea only affects actual raids

sadly

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, that seems like a cop-out. Hanging the trophy should have no relevance.

[dense steppe]

No, I haven't met any bugs, only goblins 😺

[vague elk]

it despawns the monsters that i havent reached

[fair cairn]

you wont get raiding by seekers, just cant go out at night

[paper marsh]

whats wrong with bugs at night? You should be powerful enough for them

[strange arrow]

i don't want an indented head thanks

[dense steppe]

They'll ruin my crop of yummy treats 😾

[fair cairn]

except thats just your skin and not your actual skull

[paper marsh]

no, it prevents you from getting raided by monsters you haven't reached. But seekers spawning in meadows isn't a raid, its just something that happens at night after someone kills mistlands boss

[fallen zephyr]

I put a mosquito net around my bed, but it didn't help!

[strange arrow]

also they make me pour with sweat

[lunar ridge]

That isn't actually your skull, it's just a flesh indent. It goes away after a bit of not wearing headphones.

[fair cairn]

also, you should go see a doctor if your skull starts denting

[fallen zephyr]

Starts denting?! Is that some kind of negative pressure situation?

[fair cairn]

speakers for games is pretty bad experience

[fair cairn]

quite possibly

[lunar ridge]

Depending on the speakers you roll with, it can be a very bad sound mix and honestly ruin some encounters

[fair cairn]

also, headsets are just great for using your mic

absolutely despise hearing someones game through their mic cause they use speakers

[fallen zephyr]

I speak more frequently with my wife over Discord than I do in real life. Speakers suck; headphones rule!

[lunar ridge]

speaking of headphones I should go find my glue, the old glue on the pads is finally deteriorating

[strange arrow]

A:didn't say it was, B: still don't like it anyway

[dense steppe]

With headphones on, you can't hear what's going on around you 😼

[fair cairn]

skill issue

[strange arrow]

oh yeh me too, have a friend with a situation like that

[paper marsh]

nah it's a good thing. Keeps out distractions

[lunar ridge]

A: Was heavily implied B: That's fine

[strange arrow]

nah i just saw yt videos

the internet is a resource ya know

[lunar ridge]

Tyler 1 head dent?

[fair cairn]

good point, though also not great cause A: if your playing games with some.... kinky scenese you wanna hear whats happening around you as well
B: you wanna hear if someone breaks in

[strange arrow]

even in daytime hours still gotta listen out for the door and stuff

[lunar ridge]

I'm more likely to have a bear trying to break in than a human, and frankly if i can't hear a bear breaking into my home that's a certified skill issue and I deserve it

[dense steppe]

Or listen to what's going on in the sky 😸

[lunar ridge]

Ukraine?

[dense steppe]

😹

@lunar ridge Glass wounds don't heal well, I'll tell you, it's better to hear what flies or falls in advance 😹

[strange arrow]

it's a treat for me if i can whack the sounds up for gaming

[lunar ridge]

Glass wounds are up there in the rankings for injuries I like to avoid

I know fiberglass isn't actually glass, but that's another really annoying one

[paper marsh]

I didn’t know how deep glass shards could go until I stepped on one and ended up needing my foot to be put to sleep while they cut a lil hole in it to get the shard out

Still tho prefer it over stepping on a rusty nail which just came right out

[frigid gust]

Some surgeons actually prefer obsidian (glass) blades for scalpels for certain surgeries because they're so much sharper and harder than steel can be.

[latent wraith]

Stepped on a nail when I was a kid. Do not recommend.

[dense steppe]

And imagine that a whole pile of glass flies like a shotgun shot 😸

[paper marsh]

Ill say I don’t like the idea of getting glass in my eyes. But this is prob a topic for another channel

[frigid gust]

I stepped on one with one foot, and stepped on another with my other foot as I went to pull the first foot up. Not a great time 😛 Fortunately they weren't deep and all the way in, the shoes stopped most of it.

[strange arrow]

mine was attached to a board so i had to walk all the way home with a board attached to my foot 😅

[dense steppe]

🙀

[latent wraith]

Mine was at home and my dad was right next to me when it happened, that was probably a good thing.

[lunar ridge]

Sharper, absolutely, and it''s technically harder but because of the hardness it's also more brittle, I don't know if I'd trust an obsidian scalpel

i know you're not swinging it around like a knife so there's no actual danger of it shattering inside you, but still...

[strange arrow]

i landed on the damn thing jumping out of a tree

[frigid gust]

You shouldn't be prying much with a scalpel, just cutting 😉 Feel free to look them up. I'd think that the surgeons that use them are well aware of that property.

[dense steppe]

I think they cut the thinnest vessels with it, so as not to dishevel the walls, and then it was easier to sew them together 😼

[latent wraith]

That probably hurt more thna just stepping on it. Mine was on a plank on the ground and I was just walking or running.

[strange arrow]

the only other detail i remember is that it didn't bleed much when it was removed

[latent wraith]

I dno't think mine did either and it didn't hit anything other than flesh on its way through my foot. Was lucky.

[lunar ridge]

Can obsidian scalpels even be sterilized?

[frigid gust]

Now that all said... this is veering very quickly away from #valheim-chat territory and into #general topic land 😛

[latent wraith]

All channels are general channel.

[dense steppe]

Well, yes, in boiling water 😼

[latent wraith]

I honestly thought we were in general based on the topic...

[dense steppe]

Me too 🙀

[lunar ridge]

I don't think boiling water has been used in modern medicine for sterilization for a very long time

[strange arrow]

bbb but, nails exist in Valheim

[dense steppe]

You asked the way, I suggested the solution 😸

[lunar ridge]

It's mostly UV or Autoclaving but I wonder if it adversely affects the material in some way

Obviously big brained scientists have a way or they wouldn't be using them but I'm curious now

[dense steppe]

I think it's all been tested thousands of times 😼👍

[lunar ridge]

No dice, millions of times or sued for malpractice!

[zenith star]

do wolves have x ray vision

how does it know theres a threat behind 4 different walls if its not moving

[lunar ridge]

They have ears

[zenith star]

theres no sound

i might just move the wolf out of the entire area

i think the biome itself is the issue

[rustic schooner]

wolf UAV

[lunar ridge]

Are you referring to wolf taming?

[zenith star]

yeah

im unable to tame the wolf because its aggro is infinite

and never ends

[strange arrow]

is it a hunted raid wolf?

[lunar ridge]

Once the wolf is aggro'd to you, you do need to be quite a distance away for it to de-aggro and start the taming process

[zenith star]

i will try that

[lunar ridge]

it will keep aggroing to you when you come near it, so you will have to do the process a few times, each time giving it more food until it's actually tamed

[zenith star]

i might let it out and move it to a different spot then leave

[lunar ridge]

Yeah if you're trying to tame a wolf too close to your main base, it's going to be a very long process

Technically you'd be able to de-aggro it by walking very far away, and then return via sneaking. So long as the wolf isn't aware of your presence the taming continues

But it's just better to have it being tamed far enough away that it's still loaded in, but outside of aggro range

[strange arrow]

don't bother trying to tame a raid wolf in any case, and if it's a starred wolf they will despawn if you leave the area during day if they haven't started eating yet

[zenith star]

im playing modded btw but its worth noting you did actually solve the issue it was too close to my bears

it was aggroing to the bears behind the wall and they kept getting allerted to it so they kept trying to get it

[lunar ridge]

bears?

boars?

[zenith star]

bears

from a mod lol

[lunar ridge]

Ah...

[fair cairn]

first time ive heard someone say they deserved to be mauled by a bear

[zenith star]

lol

[lunar ridge]

Well if he's barrelled through my front door or my front window and I haven't heard anything, that's on me

[dense steppe]

Bears are very quiet when they want to, but they have a strong musky smell 😼

A few beer cans on a wire will solve the issue with the bear and scare it away with noise 😸

[half dragon]

Here, a word of power. It instills fear in those who hear it. Repeat after me and channel power into your voice.

PER - KE -LE

(Note: Even bears run away in fear)

[loud valve]

Just tell the bears you have to go to work so they can't hang around

[hot fern]

Defining "close" could be helpful. Most of the time I tame wolves, I put a cabin up like 20-30 meters away, their taming process still moves along.

[uncut bough]

i am contemplating sending all the 2 star wolves outside of the house and act as a first line of defense

there are so many in the house and the cubs howl is actually getting on my nerves

there are like 14 of em rn, including all cubs

[fair cairn]

except that well, i cant smell

[fair cairn]

where is your base? if its in the Meadows your wolffs can very easily multiply like sewege slimes

[zenith star]

i dislike golems

for some reason they always priortize structures

[dense steppe]

First the bear eats the sick, the law of nature 😹

[fair cairn]

not even sick xd

[sly osprey]

Can you counter block a Stone golem

[zenith star]

yes

[sly osprey]

Nah I calll cap

[zenith star]

you can parry one as far as im aware

[sly osprey]

You can the one with the spike

Ice Golem not Stone Golem

[fair cairn]

counter block? you can parry and block them

[frigid gust]

With high enough block skill, HP and armor, yes. I find it's easier to dodge-roll toward them to avoid all damage, then uppercut them with the iron mace to stun them.

[merry pebble]

you can, but it depends on your gear and health

You can parry pretty much any attack in the game I believe, if the stats are there

[sly osprey]

I think the mechanics of this game are thought out pretty well.||

[fair cairn]

i barely every dodge roll cause off my deaths trying them with trolls

[sly osprey]

SAO vibez

I didn`t think about the stats thank you for the advice

[zenith star]

ive had 4 wolves ive tried to tame die to golems

[light moat]

Watching someone on YouTube (Embr) play through mistalnds, and she’s finding so many black cores 🥲 I’m a little jealous

[frigid gust]

I think you need to just Git Gud(tm) 😛

[zenith star]

coz the wolves agro on them as soon as they spawn and im unable to kill them before they kill the wolf

[half dragon]

Tuber/streamer luck

[fair cairn]

no ill stick with parry and running away

[dense steppe]

I also find a lot 😼

[half dragon]

somebody must be watching you live 💀

[frigid gust]

Srsly though, I dodge roll everything. Parrying gets you killed with difficult enough enemies, especially with using a magic or light armor build where stamina is king, whereas dodge rolling will(temporarily) make you immune to any attack

[half dragon]

even if the damage doesn't kill, getting staggered due to a parry will make sure you do. It's a bit funny you get staggered more for parrying than getting a direct hit of same damage

[ember panther]

I hate how punishing that is. Would rather have the shield get flung out of my inventory and remove the stagger aspect

[half dragon]

at that point failing to parry would be failing successfully

[ember panther]

Well on a perfect timed parry, even if it's too strong, you could at least get one save. Then you know you cant parry and may aswell dodge

[desert tangle]

i was scared of fighting trolls but wow they are so weak against fire, only took a good 20 fire arrows to kill :D

[regal spoke]

Use the right shield for the biome in question

[fair cairn]

they are weak to pierce too

[frigid gust]

If you get really adventurous and brave, a copper knife or an atgeir can also dismantle trolls 😉

[frail wagon]

god getting bronze is SO annoying

[fair cairn]

it very much is yes

[frail wagon]

just gotta beat eldar so i can make it to iron

[frigid gust]

You need the bronze to get the iron 😉 But I usually find that maybe two copper nodes is all you really need if you're being efficient with the use. Maybe 3.

[fair cairn]

you dont really need bronze armor, troll armour only has a 2 point difference

[frail wagon]

man i wish i didnt find this out AFTER I MADE BRONZE ARMOR

[fair cairn]

well... now you know

[vocal rivet]

Bronze armour is fine. It's just for a different style of play.

[fair cairn]

well the armor is fine i think the biggest problem is the bronze needed for it isnt lol

[frigid gust]

6 total across the full set (assuming same level capes). It's about a 15% armor increase for the bronze at full upgrade, even more at base level (percentage-wise), which can be pretty significant.

[regal spoke]

1 node if you're being super optimal

[frigid gust]

You know that the copper nodes go well below the ground, right? A lot of people miss that on their first go at it

[loud valve]

I didn't realize this until I was mining for silver

[desert tangle]

yea i saw the sneak attack damage was insane, now that i have copper and tin, im thinking of sailing to try and find leviantin for the chintin

[fair cairn]

the razor blade is iron level and can easily stun lock a troll

[desert tangle]

is that another weapon or u talking about this https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Abyssal_razor

[uncut bough]

meadows near a shoreline, so many necks and deers, also at the border of a black forest, so trolls often find its way to my base

[loud valve]

Have your wolfs feed on necks and deer

[fair cairn]

yea that, i keep forgetting its name

[fair cairn]

just elave some wolfs inside and throw the rest out, they will destroy everything around your base that lives

[uncut bough]

i am afraid i will lose counts of them, so any of them happens to die i wouldnt even notice

[loud valve]

you could make a really big fence

[uncut bough]

but these 2 star wolves are so good, 1 of them can easily kill a troll

hopefully it can defend itself when bat raids\

[frail wagon]

thank our lord THE CART

[uncut bough]

cart is better in theory than in practice

it takes some preps to make cart usable

[pure blaze]

do many people use tower shields? It seems that missing out on the parry mechanics is not worth it even with higher blocking armor numbers

[regal spoke]

The dps opening from parry is to good to bother with towers

[frail wagon]

stag breaker my beloved

[ember panther]

I really want to capture some 2* wolves but I'm terrified of them... Need to build a fool proof trap

[frigid gust]

You only need one 2* wolf, you can breed more once you get one. Dig a deep escape-proof pit, a wooden bridge partially over it, and get good aim with the hammer to destroy the connecting piece behind the wolf when it chases you onto it 😛 Practice with regular wolves.

If you've got a silver shield you can often parry them, and I've parried them at the edge of the pits and then sparta-kicked the in by not having a weapon equipped

[light moat]

This strategy has always made me think of some sort of Wile E Coyote trap 😂

[odd helm]

[lunar ridge]

you can also just harpoon them and drag them over the pit

[uncut bough]

once u got bonemass power, you have no fear

[lunar ridge]

Is fun

[uncut bough]

obviously it still hurts to get bit by a 2 star but u will only take roughly 10-15 damages

[lunar ridge]

There's a lot of shenanigans you can get up to with harpoon magic

[uncut bough]

that is how i conquer 1 star wolves, and now 2 star wolves

[wintry panther]

i wonder if they will ever add mounts to the game

[uncut bough]

they did add lox saddle

[wintry panther]

lox?

[uncut bough]

lox

[wintry panther]

im pretty new I had to google it

[light moat]

Mounts ||there’s one mount in the game, it’s in the plains||

[lunar ridge]

stompy bois

[uncut bough]

lox

[wintry panther]

Hopefully they add more

[uncut bough]

they can add flying lox

[wintry panther]

lmao

[frail wagon]

seeker mount when

[uncut bough]

queens mount when

[wintry panther]

so Appa pretty much

[uncut bough]

yes

[lunar ridge]

technically any monster is a mount if you're brave enough. Bats..... Drakes...... Gjalls...

[frail wagon]

let me mount elkthyr bro 🙏🏻

[frigid gust]

Smiffe has said that they're never going to consider flying mounts 😉 You've got a feather cape, make it work that way 😛

[uncut bough]

lemme mount Yagluth bro

[wintry panther]

Fair enough ngl
