then location is even more important

but might want to save the old base in some simplified form in case you ever get into trouble in the vicinity of it and need a safe place

[half dragon]

Location is very important, at least to me. That is why I spend so much time looking for potential locations to build my base in

[pure plume]

Yea I rushed too much with that part

Need to take it slower next time

[half dragon]

that is also why I do not put that much effort into bases I know I'm not going to use permanently. Just don't feel like making something good when I know I need to part with it anyway, makes it so much easier in many ways

just need them to be functional

but now I'm capturing really nice location in plains for my base. already established a strong foothold and a spot ready to start building everything I need

[hearty niche]

The snapping system changed everything for me. Things that used to take me 15 minutes because it was so fiddly take me literally 2 minutes now

Plus over time you build up design patterns for solving certain problems and you learn how to more effectively use the pieces

[half dragon]

mixing snapped and free placed pieces is a good way to improve your building game

[hearty niche]

Some of my early bases were very potato (I'm from Idaho so potato isn't always bad haha) and I wouldn't want to abandon them cuz they took so much work but having multiple bases works better I think

[half dragon]

it has solved many problems for me to make something look good that would not look great if it was 100% snapped in a grid

[hearty niche]

I find myself building a lot of temporary pieces to snap to but then I immediately erase them

[pure plume]

Snapping helps with replacing parts later

But You can disable snapping by holding shift with the building piece

[dense rapids]

I love the grid system. I'm fine with not having the most crazy builds, as long as I can follow the snapping grid.

[half dragon]

1 thing I usually do with free placing is placing the wooden floor a bit higher in relation to the wooden frames

then still make use of snapping to build the rest

[pure plume]

I mostly build my final concept from the start taking into account what I will replace later with different material

The height might change with better materials but base shape usually stays

And I like the simple longhouse concept based on original viking builds

[civic crypt]

are the Tamed Wolfs now going through the Portals?

[pure plume]

Iirc not without mods

[civic crypt]

ok

[lament ocean]

I need help

I am stuck on swamp

its island, and I cant get back

[pure plume]

No ship?

[half dragon]

where's the ship? did some angy draugr sink the yacht?

[lament ocean]

I am stranded

ship is in ruins, no food, and wraighs are fucking me up

[halcyon blade]

So am I

[half dragon]

so can still pick up the materials if it wasn't in deep waters

[lament ocean]

abomonation is near my stuff

[half dragon]

oh...

[paper marsh]

hope you brought a portal. pocket portal always wins

[dense rapids]

Classic..

[lament ocean]

I have it in my corpse I cant get

[hearty niche]

LOL I love how this story just keeps getting worse

[pure plume]

Sounds to me like my first encounter with swamps from the shore xD

[lament ocean]

I had 65 axe skill now its 54

[pure plume]

Thabkfully it wasn't island

[lament ocean]

I am literialy swamp dude

[paper marsh]

Is the corpse in the swamp with you? I'd lure the abom away and run in to grab your corpse, then get to safety and reqeuip everything and make portal

[half dragon]

next he'll tell us that his base is completely gone when he eventually dies 💀

[quartz plank]

So you did died?

[lament ocean]

I TRIED

[hearty niche]

Abominations always look dumb and slow from a distance but when you're running from one of the damned things they're surprisingly fast.

[lament ocean]

skeletons no scope me

[civic crypt]

when you all start a new savegame, that you build only one time the Mainbase or an second time on an other place?

[paper marsh]

Eikthyr power can help too

[regal spoke]

Stamina matters in the swamp

[hearty niche]

If I had better internet I'd offer to help you just cuz I feel bad about laughing but I'm on my phone

[half dragon]

ngl, ranged enemies are 150% assholes on corpse runs

[paper marsh]

I usually end up building a very very temporary shack to begin with, a decent base once I go for swamp and mountain, and then a permanent base after mountain

[civic crypt]

best way i think is the Console with the Commands, to come out there

[lament ocean]

fucking wraights just kill me out off my tree house

[pure plume]

Next will be that someone went to help and they are stranded together

[civic crypt]

ok

[hearty niche]

The classic "don't go in the barn" movie

[dense rapids]

I can come help you @lament ocean

[hearty niche]

Person 1 disappears into barn. Person 2 is sent to look for Person 1. Person 3 is sent to look for Person 2. etc.

[lament ocean]

I tried to yell and crie but skeletons just nohit me

[hearty niche]

Skeletons don't have any ears so they can't hear your cries

[civic crypt]

very possible ^^

[empty bison]

how bad idea is to start playing with some veteran? Me and my friend are playing together, killed first boos and his friend want to start with us fresh, but he has like 500+ hours in this game. Wouldnt that kill our experience with game?

[lament ocean]

please!

[dense rapids]

See DM

[dense rapids]

depends on if you agree on wether he can give you spoilers or not?

[paper marsh]

I started playing with a fairly experienced friend. It was a lot of fun and they tried not to give me too many hints on what to do, but I'd generally say that you should try to experience it without a lot of help first time

Kinda wish I played through it without help

[empty bison]

I mean I am playing with friend who has 30 hours in it and kinda speed rushed it to first boss, I was just chopping woodd, gathereing food and we already killed first boss in like 2 hours

[quartz plank]

If that veteran is using endgame armor, yeah, you missing out the experience of dying multiple times in swamp like Egils did

[civic crypt]

@softnail, you are using the webpage Word Generator aswell or not, for a nice map?

[paper marsh]

I am not

[regal spoke]

Full experience is irreplaceable

[empty bison]

I mean I dont want spoilers. But still, I am playing with friend and since start, he always tell me to rush to iron, that we need iron and need to find it ASAP 😄

[civic crypt]

ok, i found it nice to see the map, for to loke where to build the first base

[half dragon]

ah... when somebody tells you how to play, that already kinda ruininig the experience to some degree...

[civic crypt]

oh wich hight must be the blocking for the big trolls??

[paper marsh]

Just one wall piece high will block them from going past, but they'll easily destroy it and even if they don't, their swing hits through the wall.

So it is more about creating distance between your wall and your important stuff, than making it tall

[half dragon]

bronze is annoying to most people, but I think it's still something everyone should experience at least once

I can see why veteran would want to skip it no doubt... but still

[paper marsh]

I'm excited to go into Ashlands pretty blind

[civic crypt]

i mean it self for the char

[half dragon]

you could say that a lot of people still go into mistlands pretty blind
badum tsss

[paper marsh]

Like how you can block or parry a troll? I'd say probably a fully levelled bronze buckler and 2 black forest hp foods might do it. Not sure tho

[regal spoke]

Interested to see how generation will play out

[civic crypt]

ok

[paper marsh]

I need to find a path leading to Ashlands. I have no idea how far out it is from my base

[empty bison]

I enjoyed meadows a lot as new player, but man, I hate hunting deers. Otherwise its kinda chill, just collecting food and mats for upgrades.

[half dragon]

tried hunting them with spears?

takes some practise, but at least for me it's fun to hunt them with spear. When you've got good aim you can 1 shot them pretty easily (with spear throw), and even if you mess up you can chase them and attemp again

imo, better than bows early on because at low level takes longer to charge that bow

[paper marsh]

and bow is very inaccurate too

[half dragon]

that too

I also enjoyed hunting seaguls with spears

free feathers

[uncut bough]

the day i learned the harpoon arc to kill birds, instant feathers glitch

spears suck, nobody uses it, use harpoon, more practical

[civic crypt]

ok

[lunar sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-firestar-graystripe-moonkitti-war-criminals-gif-22186357

[paper marsh]

harpoon does significantly less damage than spears tho, and tethers you to opponent which is sometimes unwanted

[frozen void]

you can just attack to untether

[lunar sapphire]

I tend to block to untether

[pure plume]

Dragging serpent with harpoon to the shore is great

Wish we had more big ocean prey

[ember panther]

Everyone runs faster with a knife 😉 I'd just drive by those deer

[half dragon]

tentacle monster to drag ships under water?

[frozen void]

https://tenor.com/view/kid-knife-running-with-knives-gif-13862209

[uncut bough]

The whole point of harpoon is to snipe birds and hook creatures

[civic crypt]

gives octupus in the ocean??

[uncut bough]

As i said spear sucks, use atgeir instead

[half dragon]

spear is if you could release an arrow without much of a windup

[uncut bough]

Spear attack is just so weird, it is stabbing animation like someone playing with a knife, with a bit of angle differences you cant even hit enemy

[lunar sapphire]

As a fellow spear player for some time now, spears are great

this playthrough is swords tho

[uncut bough]

Liar, spear players dont exist

[frozen void]

@rustic cairn

[uncut bough]

They are atgeir players in denial

[ember panther]

Main benefit I see of spears is that they are cheap to make

[lunar sapphire]

Casually discredits my many hours playing with spears

[half dragon]

if 1 spear doesn't solve all your problems, make 4 spears

[paper marsh]

not really no. It's a use of it, but main use is to move mobs around

[half dragon]

if 4 spears don't fix all your problems, make 9

[uncut bough]

Hook creatures

[paper marsh]

spears are great if you don't wanna spend resources on arrows, or if the opponent is right above you so the spear just drops right down to you after throwing

Their primary attack is pretty slick too, although a lot of ppl dont like the hitbox or lack of a combo

[civic crypt]

i do this too with the big trolls and so with fire arrows

[rustic cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-there-hi-there-greetings-gif-9442662

[frozen void]

they shittalking spears

[rustic cairn]

Not my fault if players don't wanna utilize the best weapon in the game.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[paper marsh]

I think just Evildog is, everyone else seem to be spear enjoyers

[frail wagon]

so i forgot ashlands is probably gonna be out around may right?

[paper marsh]

dunno

It'll be out before july tho

[frail wagon]

i heared someone say the devs said its coming in the first half of the year

[half dragon]

which is before 2nd half of the year?

[paper marsh]

ye, it also says in the description in #general chat. Which is why I'm saying before July

[uncut bough]

Is it me or jotun puff are much harder to find than magenocap

[lunar sapphire]

Especially when everywhere you go there's a Gjall

[uncut bough]

Oh i found a small plot of farm land, guarded by 2 dvergr rogue ( now deceased) where there is no gjall or seeker

[hearty niche]

... yet.

[uncut bough]

I lead 2 lox toward those dvergrr and they got clapped

[paper marsh]

I wish you could shield dvergr

[uncut bough]

i wish money fall from the sky

[civic crypt]

that i wish too every day

[uncut bough]

is it safe to land a boat on mistland?

[hearty niche]

Sometimes? You probably wanna put up spawn protection pretty quickly.

[half dragon]

beware of what you wish for... There is a certain scene in a game where somebody wishes to become rich... he starts seeing money dropping from above and becomes happy. But in reality those were bolts holding the roof together

Btw would highly recommend always landing your ship nearby the new biome and not directly there and only land ship there when you're more comfortable with that biome

applies to swamps too. landing the ship may be safe to do, but once you go deeper in and eventually turn around, you might see some undead taking an offense to the presence of your ship

[dreamy kiln]

wise words from spugelo 🙌

[scenic flare]

anyone finding mistlands infected mines a bit unbalanced recently? started two seeds ahead of Ashlands, 1st I completed 3 sealbreakers before getting enough cores, 2nd is following a similar pattern so far…

[uncut bough]

there is Copper scraps??

[nocturne wolf]

Old giant weapons and armor drop copper and iron scraps

[uncut bough]

i got copper scraps after the gjall destroyed a dvergr settlement

[nocturne wolf]

Iron ore also exists, it’s obtained from fishing in swamps

[uncut bough]

dont they just give iron scraps, not ore?

do rogue enemies just destroy sap extractor when they bump into it?

[dreamy kiln]

yap scraps nore ore

[dreamy kiln]

good question, never saw it happen, maybe the soldier stomp can destroy it

[azure yacht]

RNG

[regal spoke]

Iron can be derived from a few unique spots out of the swamp

[nocturne wolf]

Fish give ore, mining gives scraps. Thats why iron ore is an incredibly rare item.

[light moat]

Huh, didn’t even know it existed!

[nocturne wolf]

I didnt either until someone mentioned it here

I’ve never even seen the fish that gives it

[rapid bison]

And I thought it's wolves that eat anything.

[civic crypt]

they eat only meat

[empty bison]

how do you solve base raid after killing first boss? I got raid and my base is surounded by 15-20 greydwarfs and two of them? are some elites with big stick :D. I instatly quit server, because I was getting demolished

[nocturne wolf]

Don’t kill eikthyr without the equipment good enough for a raid. Try not to let your stamina get too low. Rolling gives you invincibility for a very short time. Leave the strong enemies on low health so you can kill them when you need to instead of having them respawn over and over.

And be rested at all times

[quartz plank]

You sure you kill the first boss? Brutes doesn't come to raid, not until you kill the second boss; ||The Elder||. I think you need some catching up to do, mine some coppers/tins and upgrade better weapon. Make a moats/raise ground, or maybe place some campfires around the base to stop creatures spawning inside your base.

[dreamy kiln]

usually the upcoming boss sends raids..

[paper marsh]

Depends what you mean by enough cores. I’d say 5 is enough although not preferable

That said I just got 15 and I think I have 6 sealbreaker fragments. Do you need 9 fragments for a sealbreaker or less?

[nocturne wolf]

Greydwarf brutes spawn in raids after killing eikthyr (the forest is moving)

[paper marsh]

Granted I feel like I got pretty lucky with cores

[nocturne wolf]

I’m pretty sure it’s 9, but I havent made one in a while.

[paper marsh]

Yea after elder is draugr raids

[nocturne wolf]

And troll raids

[light moat]

Yep, 9 fragments are needed.

[quartz plank]

Ah I must be lucky then, I rarely get raids in early game. Probably because of traveling a lot.

I only get the silly necks and boars raid

[empty bison]

I killed first boss, started digging coppeer, smelting it and raid appeared and these mobs aree sttrong as hell. I have leather upgraded armor, bone shield, but basic blunt weapon. Not sure which is better at begining

[nocturne wolf]

If you are going to use tower shields, a knife works well with those. Maker a bronze buckler for other one-handed weapons.

[empty bison]

I just liked look of it haha. I will do, smelted first copper and can craft dagger only, so need still discover more recipes

[paper marsh]

I started playing with max raid rate recently and it really makes you pay attention to what raids trigger when lmao

Even skipped bonemass to not get wolf raid

[nocturne wolf]

You need tin from black forest beaches for more recipes

[empty bison]

ah, thats what I am missing, ty. Will check it. I play as duo with friend, so I quit serveer with raid and wait for him. Is there any tip how to block with ease? I feel like when I attack, I cant properly block and vice versa. monsters are kinda fast

[desert tangle]

from people with like over 3 playthroughs, was the trader more inland or at the coast when u find them?

[nocturne wolf]

I have a good tip for fast-attacking monsters:
By starting an attack while moving in the air (best done immediately after jumping), you can keep your velocity and land the attack while moving towards them at full speed, so they can’t attack first so easily.
Tower shields create a lot of space between you and your attacker, so blocking with one can easily be followed up with a well-timed heavy attack while the monster comes back to you.

You can practice the jump attacking with an axe next time you go woodcutting, it’s very powerful used right.

[empty bison]

I see, thankss, will definitely try it. I want to use small shields in the future, but I couldnt resist craft bone shield one heh

[nocturne wolf]

Normal shields are usually best, bucklers are too bad at blocking which is a problem if you’re low on stamina or fighting a group of enemies, and normal shields can still parry most things a buckler can.

There is no normal shield in black forest, probably to encourage players to try a specialised shield, so make the buckler instead.

[regal spoke]

Level 3 wood shield and decent food is good up to swamp if you can parry

[civic crypt]

i like the bone shield, is good to for begin

[heady parcel]

On four worlds so far I have found Haldor so near the beach I could park my boat in his ward's aura..

[nocturne wolf]

It is good throughout the whole biome, but if you want a shield that can parry, you should make the buckler soon.

[desert tangle]

when u found one inland, how far was it

[heady parcel]

The movement penalty of tower shields is over the top. Along with not being able to parry, the negatives vastly overweigh the pros. With a regular shield you get nearly as much block, can parry and only half the movement penalty.

[nocturne wolf]

I’d only choose to use a tower shield with a knife. I use a normal shield with all others.

[heady parcel]

Never did, he's always been on the beach

[austere flame]

idk when to fight bonemass. as in idk when to tell if im prepared enough to do so

[nocturne wolf]

You should get level 3 troll armor or better, turnips and swamp-tier food (including serpent meat), Iron mace and either a banded shield or iron tower shield at level 3 (not the buckler, it isn’t great against large wolf groups), an iron pickaxe and a longboat

[latent wraith]

When you can comfortably fight all the swamp mobs.

[austere flame]

alright so it seems im fairly good to go

[hasty citrus]

i love valheim but I will admit there are some issues like grindyness and difficulty (swamp) have the devs spoken about anything like that or are they focusing on new content?

[nocturne wolf]

World modifiers were released a few months ago, and can change resource multipliers and combat difficulty, along with some other options such as no maps/portals and raid rates.

[hasty citrus]

NO WAY

[heady parcel]

Yeah, Deer stew/black soup, sausage and turnip stew. Serpent stew if you have it, upgraded iron mace and a decent shield and you're good for Bonemass in nearly any armour at that point. Assuming you have meads.

[nocturne wolf]

Serpent meat + serpent stew will make you invincible

[hasty citrus]

are there any new QOL? like mounts to go around or balancing of weapons/armor?

[austere flame]

i have lvl 3 iron mace, buckler, root armor, and can make black soup, sausage, and turnip stew. what mead would i need?

[light moat]

If you’re into building, snap point cycling is a huge QOL change

[hasty citrus]

i havent played since oct 12 2023

[nocturne wolf]

Poison meads for bonemass and frost meads for the next biome

[hasty citrus]

what have I missed

[austere flame]

is root mask not going to be enough?

[nocturne wolf]

The discord server was hacked

[hasty citrus]

why wud anyone even do that?

[lunar sapphire]

Why you leading with that 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Mead is stronger but you will probably be fine

[austere flame]

ok ty for all of the advice everyone

[hasty citrus]

are the devs focusing on adding content? is there any statement about improving the general progression and start

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands should be updated in the first half of this year

[hasty citrus]

is the new stuff only late game?

[heady parcel]

General progression is in a really good place, I doubt they will mess with that at all at this point. For those who want it less grindy or harder there is the world modifyers. They take care of all that.

[paper marsh]

Yes. When Ashlands update hits, it should all be Ashlands content which is the last biome in the progression so far

[azure yacht]

Nah, they (as game developers) obviously don't want to develop the game which means it will stay as it is right now.

You imagine developers developing the game? So absurd

[hasty citrus]

is content gonna usually just continue along the line of progression rather than general

[desert tangle]

wait really? i thought he also spawns inland

[nocturne wolf]

It’s completely random

[hasty citrus]

i mispoke, i meant like adding content as in adding progression based content like biomes and ores only in late game areas rather than general things like animals, QOL, features

[paper marsh]

kinda depends. There's been some big updates like Mistlands, soon Ashlands, and in the future we will get Deep North which all just extend the end game.

But there's some quality of life or minor content updates too, like Hildrs Request was the last big-ish update, and it added content to meadows, black forest, mountains, and plains, and added other features

[heady parcel]

I have never seen him inland, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen tho..

[paper marsh]

It's completely random if Haldor is near the beach or more inland

I don't think I've ever personally seen him right on the coastline

[azure yacht]

Newer biomes will be focused on the new biome's content.

Little or nothing will be added in previous biomes

Mistlands has been the largest update so far and the only pre-mistlands thing it added was some fishing content

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve seen him almost underwater and very far inland

[hasty citrus]

damn

[azure yacht]

Hildir update did add content throughout more of the game because that one was not focused on one biome specifically but stated explicitly to be overall

[hasty citrus]

i think thats kinda better in some ways

[lunar sapphire]

I've completed 2 out of 3 Hildir quests and I still haven't used any of the rewards/purchasables 😛

[paper marsh]

I mainly wanna do the last hildr boss just so I can get the raid

[azure yacht]

And they haven't teased anything for ashlands update that involves earlier content so it's easy to assume it will be ashlands-only. Probably the only thing that might count as pre-ashlands is whatever queen drops but even that counts more as ashlands content than mistlands

[hasty citrus]

😭

[desert tangle]

is that from a mod?

[lunar sapphire]

no?

[lunar sapphire]

[paper marsh]

No. Hildr is a merchant in-game similar to Haldor, but she sends you to do some things

[heady parcel]

I did buy the fire pit, because I can't be arsed building proper fireplaces & chimneys at my small bases.

[desert tangle]

ahh i thought hildir was the crow bird guy

[lunar sapphire]

Only to find you can't teleport the iron piece?

[lunar sapphire]

That's Hugin 😄

[paper marsh]

Hugin = bird :)

[desert tangle]

im not that good at remembering names ;(

[heady parcel]

I run no portals anyway 😅

[wide zodiac]

What does launch valheim vulkan do

[lunar sapphire]

Another way to load Valheim and save resources/ease the computer processing power

helps certain pcs/laptops run the game

[wide zodiac]

does it reduce graphics or something?

[lunar sapphire]

From googling:

Vulkan targets high-performance real-time 3D-graphics applications, such as video games and interactive media, and highly parallelized computing. Vulkan is intended to offer higher performance and more efficient CPU and GPU usage compared to the older OpenGL and Direct3D 11 APIs.

[uncut bough]

bruh the timezone change just hit, now i am 1 hour eariler to daylight

[austere flame]

against bonemass, is it better to have 2 health 1 stamina or 2 stamina 1 health?

[uncut bough]

2 health 1 stam

you need more health than stamina to get up close and personal with the boneass and fight it

[austere flame]

true

[safe phoenix]

Any predictions for Ashlands release?

[vocal rivet]

Still first half of this year.

[safe phoenix]

i guess thats ... good enough ? 🙂

I think that dedicated servers will need to wipe for this Update?

[vocal rivet]

No, not really.

[safe phoenix]

oh NICE

[uncut bough]

I cant seems to find black core

[vocal rivet]

The only issue is if you've explored any Ashlands so far.

[vocal rivet]

Are you on live or PTB?

[uncut bough]

I found a recently captured dvergr safehouse so i am leisurely dismantling it for black marbles

[uncut bough]

Not ptb just normal gameplay

I am having problem finding it, that is all

[vocal rivet]

Then just unlucky I guess.

[uncut bough]

But yea i am harvesting black marbles but i cant seems to find black core

I want the new mistland weapons so bad

[austere flame]

just finished fighting bonemass. i felt it was much less difficult than it was made out to be. it wasnt really that stressful either. more enjoyable than the elder fight so i cant complain.||bonemass's attacks were very predictable. the slow swipe attack, which is easy to parry. and within the timeframe between 2 slow swipes, you are able to get 4-6 mace hits in, which do a decent amount of damage. as for its armpit rock attack, you just had to deal with the inconvenience swiftly: not an issue. the poison vomit is a non-issue with root mask or poison resistance mead. lastly, if you were low on health or stamina, you would just go hide around the skull on the other side where bonemass isn't. when bonemass looks for you, you just go around in a bit of a circle until you recover your health/stamina.||

[uncut bough]

Do i need to place item stand on table to be able to display food?

[merry pebble]

yep

[paper marsh]

yea, unless you want to just throw the food on the table and risk picking it up when you walk by / have particles coming off it

[empty bison]

Oh yeah, My base was raided by greydwarfs, with brute and shaman. Is it hard like this all the time? I barely survived after 10 minutes of fighting

[paper marsh]

Sometimes mobs raid your base, but its rare. It'll always be a tough raid like that though. You don't have to fight them, you can run them in circles for a couple minutes and the raid will end (but then you still gotta fight the enemies left over)

[wide zodiac]

what foods should i bring to the swamp while mining for iron and killing roots

[paper marsh]

Do you have turnips yet?

I'd go for the best food you have, be it black forest or swamp. I like going double hp, 1 stamina so I can tank some hits. But, if you're struggling with stamina (which is common in swamp) you might want to consider going double stamina.

[wide zodiac]

currently running honey, deer stew, and meat stew

[half flax]

I prioritize Stamina

[wide zodiac]

what should i replace to add turnip stew to my diet

[half flax]

Again, ask what you need. stamina or health. Look at regen rate and timer as well

[paper marsh]

If you have turnips, I'd make the spice rack and for sure use sausages. Then you can do either carrot soup or turnip soup (turnip is a bit better, but carrot is pretty good while cheap), and then I'd say either black soup or deer stew

sausages are basically a must

[half flax]

This is all good advice, and sausage is important.

I vary food based on tasks. If extensive copper mining, then Stamina. If dragging heavy cart, Stamina. If crypt running then a mix with a food that regens health faster

[paper marsh]

In crypts I like to run triple health, but thats also mainly because I'm playing Very Hard

Also if you're brave enough to take on a serpent, they're so good food. I always try to kill some serpents early game because their drop is literally mistlands tier food. At Iron age you can get up to 230 hp which is just perfect

[empty bison]

what do you guys craft as first from bronze? Just got some bars and I am kinda lost what to craft 😄

[odd helm]

nails

nails nails nails

then a cultivator and a fermenter

but always nails first

[lunar sapphire]

Pickaxe 😛

[odd helm]

nah, antler carries you to swamps~

[kind pelican]

bronze axe ofc
then karve
maybe a buckler

[odd helm]

bronze pick feels like a waste of resources, it's good for durability if you upgrade it but it takes enough bronze to upgrade that it doesn't feel worth it for me

oh, bronze axe is also a must

[empty bison]

bronze axe works on tree, right?

I am kinda lost if its weapon or gathering tool 😄

[kind pelican]

its both

[latent wraith]

I had pickaxe as 1st priority bronze item on my latest save (the one I've been streaming a bit). :p

[lunar sapphire]

[latent wraith]

It may or may not be relevant that I haven't killed Eikthyr.

[pure blaze]

does comfort from sitting log, chair, stool etc stack? Wiki doesn't mention stacking the way it does with banners or rugs

[paper marsh]

No

I'd really recommend Scarlets comfort sheet, lays it out well https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18CIv39YFMqIhB8horGHsp2OrTB4e5zcscHPotUR8MbU/

also in here: #valheim-chat message

[tulip patrol]

can level 3 black metal successfully parry a 2* Seeker or do they too much damage it wont parry successfully?

[vocal rivet]

Nothing stacks anymore. That's why it's not in the Wiki.

[ember panther]

Buckler? Ehh... Maybe with enough block skill you could block the regular attack. The double pincher stab is strong af tho

[pure blaze]

I mean the Wiki explicitly says that banners or rugs don't stuck. But says nothing on chairs, stools.

[tulip patrol]

Dont have the carapace buckler, but it looks like i can successfully parry their 200 Blunt attack but not their 240 Pierce attack

[vocal rivet]

Correct. Because they never have.

[tulip patrol]

Rugs used to stack, but that got chagned.

[strange arrow]

buckler has a higher parry bonus tho, makes sense to use it for parrying

[strange arrow]

a single chair is all you need to get the comfort point, more than 1 doesn't add anything, like rugs

but the throne does give more so i suspect that's why it's not included

[halcyon blade]

Not the case since the no stacking is mentioned for tables, which have a couple that give 2 comfort instead of 1. I doubt there's any actual reason it's inconsistent, just human error leaving that info out and no one making an edit to include it.

[vocal rivet]

What error?

[hidden nebula]

Is there a way to view only a certain type of pin? Ex. Hide all pins except campfire pins.

[lunar sapphire]

yep, on the pin legend (the list of different pins to choose from), let's say you have a bunch of pins marked by the dot. right click the dot on the side here and it'll hide all of the dot pins

and otherwise, if you want to only see dots, right click every pin type but the dot

[strange arrow]

you've got what i said wrapped around yr neck lol, tables state they don't stack like banners and rugs, i was talking about chairs not stacking with thrones, which are categorized separately

[maiden granite]

Use the magic barrier for guaranteed parry

[halcyon blade]

Where are they categorized separately? Chairs and thrones are grouped together from what I can see.

[maiden granite]

#self-promotion message

[plush umbra]

no, any chair (+2) + any throne (+3) is still just +3, they're all of the same category

they also don't stack with benches (+1)

[plush umbra]

the reason is because the tar tables are more expensive and bigger than the rest

could be an error that the black marble table only gives 1 comfort, but it is quite small and cheap for its biome

[strange arrow]

ah that's it, so you can put chairs but they don't override the throne comfort, thanks for clearing that up

still amounts to the same thing

[halcyon blade]

Was an actual test done in game to confirm that info? Because if it's true the chart on the wiki needs to be adjusted to make that clear.

[plush umbra]

does it? looks pretty correct to me

oh, unless we're going by different definitions of stack 😅
when the wiki says "they don't stack", it means that only the highest comfort item of this category will matter if they're all placed together, they don't combine their values

[halcyon blade]

They were saying that you can get +4 with a chair and throne, so I was asking if they did a test in game, or what their reasoning for that conclusion was (since it contradicts what the wiki shows). You also can't always trust the info on the wiki, it could easily be wrong, especially if no one fact checks it with actual tests.

I'm also on mobile, so can't do any testing myself at the moment.

[plush umbra]

oh i just misread, sorry

or misunderstood

comfort is thoroughly tested by several staff members including myself whenever new stuff is added, i'd be surprised if any of that was incorrect, but i'll hop on just to retest

[vocal rivet]

It's literally in the code. We don't guess in the Wiki.

[strange arrow]

i was probably remembering old rules for them

[tulip patrol]

• Chairs/thrones are classed as one; the thrones provide the most comfort but they dont stack. Just 1 throne/chair counts. | Thrones (3) Chairs (2) Benchs (1)

• Beds dont stacks; dragon bed has best comfort | dragon(2) Bed (1)

• Fires dont stack; Heart provides best | Hearth (2) All other fires (1)

• Banners count as 1; they dont stacks | All provide 1 comfort

• Tables count as 1; they dont stacks | Round and Heavy table (2) Table/Marble (1)

• Rugs count as 1; they dont stack | All rugs provide 1 comfort

• Hot Tub

• Armor Stand

• Maypole

• Seasonal yule Tree

[strange arrow]

#valheim-chat message this was the complaint

[plush umbra]

yea it's as it's listed on the wiki

the closest thing to an error i can see is that it mentions specifically the raven throne here instead of "any throne"

[tulip patrol]

Theres a reason why the Wiki is only a FANDOM wiki, FANDOM wiki's are normally pretty accurate if the moderators and editors are good at keeping upto date. But FANDOM wikis should never be taken with 100% sincerity

[vocal rivet]

We are, thanks.

[strange arrow]

so it's bcoz chairs and stools are irrelevant that they aren't specifically mentioned as stacking?

(irrelevant if you have thrones)

[vocal rivet]

It says that they don't stack

[strange arrow]

they were saying it's not stated like rugs and banners are

[halcyon blade]

They are mentioned as not stacking. Pretty sure someone edited the page mid-discussion (could have sworn it didn't mention it the first time I checked).

[plush umbra]

is there a change history visible anywhere for editors

[vocal rivet]

Yep.

[wide zodiac]

how many shop keepers can there be in the world?

[tulip patrol]

just 2. Hakdor and Hildir

Haldor*

[vocal rivet]

2, but each has 10 different potential locations.

[plush umbra]

they have 10 possible spawn locations each but only the first ones you go near ends up being their location

[strange arrow]

they stick to the first spot you find them

[wide zodiac]

does the black forest shop keeper only spawn near the black forest shore? or do i have to explore inland to find them

[plush umbra]

he can spawn anywhere in black forests, but the radius of world generation is so wide that sailing by black forest shores is usually enough

[strange arrow]

some maps you can wander into him on the starter island, other times his spawns are much more spread out, just keep following forest coastlines and he should pop eventually

[plush umbra]

he's visible on the map from the moment he spawns, even to players who weren't in the world when that happened

[tulip patrol]

Hildir too

[lunar sapphire]

In my case

[strange arrow]

yeh like you see there, he can be quite far inland but you'll still get the bag when yr close enough by boat

[lunar sapphire]

On that screenshot I walked inland from the far right to the shore and he appeared

[strange arrow]

anywhere north or west of there should have pinged it up if you were on water

[lunar sapphire]

I didn't notice until walking on the 2nd continent 😢

[plush umbra]

i've been lucky enough to almost always find my haldor while on my way to the elder, and right next to his altar

[strange arrow]

over 1000 days on my main world (though i did give up the search there for a while since i found him on another world sooner 😅 )

[vocal rivet]

RNG in a nutshell there, folks.

[strange arrow]

@ #screenshots 😅

before we even had feather capes 🥹

[normal vine]

y'all what are knives good for anyway

is it just for butchering

or is it the butcher knife that does the work

[plush umbra]

the butcher knife is the only knife with that purpose, and that is its only purpose.
all the other knives are combat weapons that are actually pretty good

[normal vine]

how so

[plush umbra]

early on in playthroughs, knives are my most-used weapon. and they only fall off (for me) in use later on because i just prefer atgeirs and clubs

they may have short reach but fast attack speed, decent damage and a low stamina cost

[normal vine]

mb

[plush umbra]

their backstab bonus of x6 makes them especially good at sneak attacks but they also work well in regular combat as long as the enemy doesn't resist both slash and pierce

[strange arrow]

if sneaking weren't so weird it'd be much better even

[normal vine]

are knives the only weapons that get that multiplier

[plush umbra]

yea they have the highest backstab multiplier in the game

(it used to be x10 before hearth & home even)

[normal vine]

it would be funny if they made it so the backstab multiplier is 50x like in skyrim

and gave that to bows

[strange arrow]

doubtful when bows and knives have already been subjected to nerfs coz "too OP" xD

sneaking could definitely do with a look at tho imo

after forest stage the use kinda drops off a cliff, and never recovers even tho knives are still good all the way to Mistlands

you just wouldn't want to be there in troll armor xD

we must enter by banging our shields and wailing and jumping around instead

"target" written in paint on our cloaks

[lament ocean]

shout out to @dense rapids for helping me and my friend to escape from swamp island hell! Now I need to get my old skills up.

[pure blaze]

in hundreds of hours of gameplay, I've just had my first crash (freeze) of the game. Does it normally happen to anyone?

[paper roost]

i dont see any proof of inland location 🙂

[rain flare]

Never had it happen to me unless I spent several long hours ingame

[strange arrow]

solo no mods?

[pure blaze]

yep

[strange arrow]

for me that usually means yr PC was trying to do something else at the time maybe, background updates and such possibly

[paper roost]

there was this discussion about haldor possible location before. i know wiki say that he can be anywhere in the BF, but i always found him near the shore and from all the videos i saw, it was also near the shore every time. you mentioned as you can see (guess it was referring to the picture from Winter) it can be inland. that picture doesnt show if its inland, or near the shore

[strange arrow]

no i was talking about Subjects picture, where you can see he is clearly surrounded by forest

[paper roost]

well, i take that one as near the shore, but ok, i got your point 🙂

[strange arrow]

yeh close enough that sailing past near the spot should reveal it

most of them will be like that, but there will be a few that are way inland, i have seen this

[paper roost]

my point is, if you play no map, if the location can be anywhere deep inland, would be almost impossible to find him. so the near shore location makes much bigger sense

[strange arrow]

also depends on the players approach, if most players are looking for him by boat, chances are they are gonna find him that way, as opposed to running through forests

and Haldors spawning pattern was set way before any thought of nomap modifiers lol

he can literally be any place, in any forest, within certain distances of world centre, with 10 possible spawns and sticking to the first one you find

there's no specific mechanic that makes him more likely to spawn near the coast

[loud valve]

I imagine on nomap, you just assume you never find haldor and if you do, it's a bonus

[strange arrow]

some seeds i saw in the past were real stinkers as well, all near edge of world locations or really difficult to reach before Mistlands etc

and the total opposite, walk South on one map through meadows into forest and bam xD

[strange arrow]

North, West, South, good chances, but if you go East...

[paper roost]

that south-west location is sus 😄

[lunar sapphire]

will post a close up of it in #screenshots

[paper roost]

ok, curious

[strange arrow]

damn that's remote xD

that area might be Ocean tho come Ashlands

[dense steppe]

the larger island to the north is better for a base 😸

[strange arrow]

the one with the circular lake looks interesting

[paper roost]

its always a matter of preferences 😉

[dense steppe]

because there are a lot of meadows to the north, there is room to set up a large base 😼

the bugs will come to you and shake your chimney, remember what I said 😹

[paper roost]

i remember my first world i took over some empty dwarf tower, never had any troubles with local fauna- no defenses at all, only events like skeletons and bats came to visit me there

[strange arrow]

~~i once spawned a seeker inside my castle and it demolished it's way down 2 floors before i managed to catch it 😅 🙈 ~~

[dense steppe]

@strange arrow#screenshots message That's why I'm concerned about the safety of my base 😹

[strange arrow]

if you spawnproof the land parts you should be okay

[paper roost]

paranoia is a strong feeling 😄

[dense steppe]

justified paranoia is the best feeling in the world 😹

let them try to come and crack this nut with their frail chitinous paws 😼

[half dragon]

The only time I've seen that happen is because of a mod. It made the game freeze on loading screen 100% of the time

[compact igloo]

hello Everyone. i rly love valheim, but i did all on valheim classic. i heard that there is some mod that add quest/monsters/a lot of thing. can someone help me to know how get all these stuf please 🙂 ?

[rain flare]

My guy why would you do such a thing??? 🤣

[uncut bough]

is there an edge of the map that i can sail to? what would it look like?

[strange arrow]

a big waterfall

[uncut bough]

can i fall down>?

[strange arrow]

yes

[uncut bough]

death?

[maiden granite]

Don't go there with your hard earned gears

[strange arrow]

yes

[uncut bough]

wut da hell

[paper roost]

thats why its called edge 😄

[half dragon]

imagine sailing close to the edge (without knowing it) and going to another tab/afk for a little while 😂

[maiden granite]

If you go there in god mode, you'll find that the world is infinite but only a certain portion of it is survivable.
Like earth in universe.

[near furnace]

the edge will even claim players in god mode

[maiden granite]

Waking up on your bed naked.

[maiden granite]

Well then probably my mods allowed me to stay alive.

[weary turret]

Does the way the bosses attack changes depending on the difficulty that you have, like they have certain skills or is it just the damage that changes

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/aha-ha-ha-ha-stayin-alive-robin-gibb-barry-gibb-maurice-gibb-bee-gees-gif-19538967

[near furnace]

no

[maiden granite]

I believe the difficulty increases mobs damage and Hotpoints

[near furnace]

almost.
Mob health and damage
player damage taken increases

[strange arrow]

yes they get more washing machines each time

[weary turret]

Oh dam thanks, really wish for new moves and skills for the bosses

[near furnace]

yeah...
with our very small team. that wouldn't really be do-able to do :/

[half dragon]

Thank you Smiffe for near 100% tailwind for my entire previous voyage. I was thinking about asking you for better luck and it worked

[near furnace]

we would have to make a completly diffrent gaming experience when players adjust the difficulty

[weary turret]

Thanks for the efforts ♥️ still fun

[near furnace]

not only bosses attack patterns and move-sets

[maiden granite]

Imagine a new game, which will be only playable after you have beaten the last boss of valheim!

[near furnace]

NewGame+ also called 😉

[half dragon]

You can already kind of do a newgame+, which is creating a 2nd character for the same world. Completely up to you to balance out that experience though

I'm planning to do that as soon as my plains base is done and start a 2nd character that is a hunter that will do all my fishing

Mostly because I want to avoid those death penalties on skills I do not use often enough to maintain high

[safe flower]

I think the difficulty slider is to much, the damage mobs do makes it almost impossible, like you can’t really block

Maybe 125% for next level then 150% for the hardest would seem reasonable

[half dragon]

game basically turns into darksouls, dodge and attack 😂

[strange arrow]

hurt me MOAR

[maiden granite]

2nd character seems a drawback to me, since playing on that will also keep you down from increasing your main character skills.

[half dragon]

well I'm not going to use skills I'd be using on that main character

such as, no mining/woodcutting (except for own gear), focus on fishing and weapon skills I do not use on main chara

the main chara will do all the mining and cutting

I think I'll go for knives and bows for that hunter

polearms on my main

[paper roost]

i disagree about that, think the balance is perfect, you can still parry even on very hard with proper food and gear

[half dragon]

you can't even parry on normal with best gear and good food if that draugr has 2 stars 😂

(for that biome)

and even 1 stars hurt significantly even when you parry

stopped using parry normal normal enemies after getting fucked over 4 times by parry not working

easier to just sprint to dodge attacks and do quick follow ups instead....

or just dodge

[merry pebble]

i am pretty sure you can

[half dragon]

you can't... 2 star is an instant stagger and death sentence if there's 2nd enemy

[merry pebble]

but you said you cannot parry a single 2 star enemy

[half dragon]

you can also parry a troll doing overhead, but is that a good idea?

[merry pebble]

yes

better than taking hit

[half dragon]

it's 1 hit kill unless you have food from swamp...

maybe if you've already got good bronze armor nobody wants to grind, maybe

[merry pebble]

not if you have bronze buckler and good food it isnt 😄

[half dragon]

also not really any better than taking a direct hit, probably worse since you'll just get staggered and game seems to treat it like you didn't even parry

if you take direct hit you'll probably not get staggered

and when dodge is a thing, terrible idea

[merry pebble]

well still the best option would be dodge roll, but i would still take parry instead of hit 😄

[paper roost]

from your previous posts and nick i understand you are atgeir lover, with that you at differently than when using a shield

[half dragon]

I used a shield

maxed out iron buckler and still got fucked over. swamp isn't too great for atgeir when only 1 enemy doesn't reduce the damage

[paper roost]

cant say, i dont use atgeirs at all, i prefer small fast weapons

[half dragon]

Atgeir is a lot of a fun when it works

you can hit many enemies at the same time and stagger most enemies with that

[paper roost]

on normal difficulty its too op, on higher might be good for sure, but i m just different kind of a player 🙂

[half dragon]

atgeir still has that long ass reach to help you poke things safely

you can dodge an attack by taking a few steps back and instantly stab twice to return the favor

[paper roost]

i can do the same with knife 😛

[maiden granite]

Just do a secondary attack with the abbysal razor
||Stealthily backstabbing||

[half dragon]

while still being at safe distance from that enemy and potentially other enemies

I hear that knife is good, but I'd take Atgeir any day if I have to fight multiple melee enemies at the same time

[merry pebble]

just checked, you can parry troll overhead swing with lvl1 troll armor, lvl3 bronze buckler, carrot soup, deer stew and boar jerky, and the stagger bar fills just over half @half dragon

[paper roost]

i love dancing with the enemies, light armor, moving around, leaping, or using claws

[half dragon]

did they change that then at some point? it used to be common knowledge that isn't a thing...

[maiden granite]

The most important factor, different people have different passion with weapons, some love this some love that.

[merry pebble]

i really dont think so

[half dragon]

I really think so...

[paper roost]

i dont think so, they didnt even fix the bugs, so why would they change some mechanics in other combat situations?

[half dragon]

they already reworked parrying, why would it be so strange that got changed in the process?

I had worse food before and parrying used to work better

[paper roost]

what do you mean by before?

[half dragon]

about 2 years ago when mistlands wasn't here yet

[paper roost]

ah, i started when mistland came out, so cant tell

[merry pebble]

and with the same stuff, just troll armor on lvl3 you can parry even 2 star draugr, the stagger bar will nearly fill up but with swamp gear it really should not be any problem

[half dragon]

you forget that not every hit does the same amount of damage, yes some times it does parry it, but when there is that chance to get staggered and shredded to death, no thanks

and your food isn't always at highest point either

it will be at lowest just before you can eat again

[merry pebble]

i said i used the same stuff from black forest, with that i was able to do it, your original comment was for swamp tier gear, that will not have any problem

[half dragon]

troll armor was what I wore. that's still something a lot of people have to wear there since iron or root armor doesn't spawn out of thin air, and root armor doesn't really improve armor by much, even lower until you get it to level 2

would help with those arrows tho... but nothing you can do if abominations just refuse to spawn

when you've got iron armor/root you're basically already done with the biome

but did have iron buckler since that is pretty cheap to max out

[paper roost]

i dont use iron armor, only helmet, yet i m able to parry abom with iron buckler. on VH they do more damage than 2* draugr on normal, so dont tell me its impossible 😄

[half dragon]

no problem with abominations, it's those damn 2 star draugr...

[paper roost]

did you real what i wrote? abom on very hard difficulty vs draugr on normal

[merry pebble]

troll armor lvl1, iron buckler lvl 3 just 2 health food: deer stew + minced meat sauce (no third food) and i am able to parry 2 star over and over...

[half dragon]

then VH isn't directly comparable to normal. That is just what happened multiple times and you're not going to gaslight me into believing otherwise

sounds like we're playing 2 different games...

[paper roost]

its not, they do double damage. aboms dont have stars, all the time we are talking about 2* draugr

[merry pebble]

we can hop into vc and i can show you if you want 😄

[paper roost]

yeah, would be easier than explain while he refuse to believe it 😄

[uncut bough]

Why is anglerfish so elusive

I was rowing the boat, saw an anglerfish, pulled out fishing rod and by the time i casted the line, it is gone

[half dragon]

even if it does happen in his game what proof is that if I do not know if he has mods? I've seen it happen to myself 4 damn times and no matter what I see happen to somebody else isn't just going to erase my own experience

[merry pebble]

they are magic 😄 (just joking, i dont really know)

[merry pebble]

no mods ever, hate them 😄

[half dragon]

but either way, you guys keep using parry, I will not. Don't think there is much point in continuing the conversation, doubt it will go anywhere...

except big dudes that are meant to be parried quite obviously

[paper roost]

yeah, thats reasonable

[half dragon]

the only mod I can't live without is that farming grid. I almost quit the game permanently when I got to plains and started farming stuff

I really do not understand why that isn't in the base game

[merry pebble]

unneceseary imo, you can achieve the same result if you try just a little 😄

[half dragon]

I tried a lot and still kept going wrong

there is 0 reason to make farming unnecessarily harder than it has to be

[paper roost]

i like the plant everything mode, but not couse of the farming, but you can plant small trees etc for decorations. still not using it, only saw it on the yt

[half dragon]

just have that shift click to place without grid

[merry pebble]

but its really not hard 😅 sure sometimes it can be a bit tedious but its really not bad

btw made this #screenshots message 😄

[half dragon]

it is bad... it takes much longer than it has to and it's really frustrating when randomly 1 of them go unhealthy because it happened be just a little bit too close

[merry pebble]

i mean, just default to giving them a bit more than the absolute minimum than what they need

[half dragon]

oh... if that is the size of farms you normally make that is more manageable. I prefer farming things in larger batches

[paper roost]

i cant bother with rows, i just stand in the middle and rotate with pushing the button 😄

[merry pebble]

nono, i was living in a refurbished vilage and i wanted to keep things looking as natural as i could, normally i have much bigger farms 😄

[half dragon]

then I have no idea how you can put up with no grid 😂

[merry pebble]

its really easy, just use A and D buttons for running and dont move your mouse

then just back of a bit and and get another line in

[half dragon]

I did that, but it's complete pain in the ass to try make the rows line up properly

usually it didn't line up perfectly with my fence and have to make a new extra row

[strange arrow]

can't keep the mouse still while you move forwards and backwards to plant?

[merry pebble]

i dont think i have any screenshots of my plains farm i could show atm unfortunatelly

[half dragon]

that's not the issue there

[strange arrow]

mine come out in perfect rows like that

[rain flare]

You have to be very patient

[paper roost]

nobody said you have to have perfect lines, its about yield

[rain flare]

They is difficult to catch

[half dragon]

I have to have perfect lines because I hate anything less than the best I can do

[strange arrow]

or anything less than the mod does for you...

[paper roost]

i like farming. i usually do it after some hard fights to chill

[half dragon]

I don't see you complaining about wooden floors snapping togehter

no different

I could spend an hour trying to make the perfect floor on free placement without snapping, or a minute with grid. Not that extreme with farming but I'd rather spend the time on something I enjoy more than be frustrated with plants not getting placed the way I wanted them to be

[strange arrow]

you don't have to walk across plants to get somewhere lol

i'm not gonna fall between floors in my build coz i didn't snap plants in a field, but i might if i didn't snap my floors xD

changing the way core mechanics work is cheating

[half dragon]

oh no, my plants are perfectly alligned as should be. I'm getting such an unfair advantage

[strange arrow]

if they "should be" then they "would be"

[half dragon]

Anyway, either I use that mod or I quit the game. Farming is way too annoying without it and makes the experience bad

Enough to sour the mood for rest of the game I enjoy

[strange arrow]

can't live without mods

[uncut bough]

farming is only mildly annoying when trying to eyeball the distance but otherwise it shouldn't be a make-or-break problem for the game

[half dragon]

can't live without 1 mod

don't change what I said

[strange arrow]

it's intended to be a learning process, of what will or won't work, if the player just circumvents that with a mod.....

[half dragon]

already achieved more of less what the mod does, but takes way too long and is way too annoying. How about focus on yourself rather than trying to be moral police for others?

[strange arrow]

all mods are cheating 😜

[half dragon]

you can believe whatever you want

[uncut bough]

i love how hideous monsters like seekers is described to drop "succulent meat" as if the devs really wanted us to think that bug-creatures like them is some good-eat

[strange arrow]

they take every opportunity to troll us xD

[half dragon]

you trying to say that this sausage made of rotten intestines isn't delicious?

[uncut bough]

at least i am pumping hare meat and lox meat out of the wazoo so i am just farming meat platter

it is annoying to hear hare sound and they just swim into the ocean

so even if i kill em, the loot will just sink

[merry pebble]

just wait till tomorrow, i can feel the trolling in the air already 😄

[half dragon]

He's still going on about it?

🤷‍♂️

[strange arrow]

deer with grenade launcher this year xD

[uncut bough]

i also hate how almost all significant mistland area is bordered with either plains or swamp

how do i even settle the boat without fighting for my life when i just got there

ok maybe swamp is now a cakewalk but the leeches will come out of nowhere and damage the boat

[half dragon]

I usually just deconstruct the boat, no need to keep it there

can always craft it again when need it

[uncut bough]

there isn't a deconstruct function as far as i know

[merry pebble]

just hit it until it breaks

[uncut bough]

right clicing the boat with happer does nothing, i have to just actually destroy it with weaposn

[half dragon]

Axe is an excellent tool for deconstructing anything wooden

takes longer but at least it works

can be a bit frustrating that can't deconstruct with hammer, but I'd imagine that is to prevent you from accidentally sinking all the nails to the bottom of the ocean

when you destroy it with a weapon you're usually hitting the mast which is where the items will drop and be instantly picked up

[uncut bough]

no when i destroy it i hit with wherever i can

[half dragon]

although... that doesn't apply to carts... 🤔

[uncut bough]

maybe carts dont have to worry about sinking

[half dragon]

not unless it's on a boat 😂

[merry pebble]

well its usualy best to hit the mast to instantly pick up the materials 😄

[uncut bough]

man where can i ever find black core

[merry pebble]

infested mines

[uncut bough]

cant find them

[strange arrow]

searching helps

[half dragon]

hmm... speaking of boats. would be interesting if they added a new type of boat in ashlands or something, something less reliant on wind

maybe with help of magic or something?

[strange arrow]

the floodgates opened when we got magic

now everyone will disappointed when we don't get magic flying boats

[merry pebble]

no flying for us 😄 quite a solid stance of the devs iirc

[uncut bough]

scratch that i want my magic flying Helicopter

[half dragon]

watch me reach the space without help of skyrim giants

[latent wraith]

I just want my tolroko flyer to work.

[exotic cradle]

And IIII just want a million dollars!

[civic crypt]

10% of that can you spend me pls

[rare birch]

Ok found my first lighthouse in the mistlands with Dvergr Mages. What should my strategy be

First I need my coffee and I am gonna smoke a bowl in honor of Easter

[warm yacht]

and i have no idea what a lighthouse is, i haven't done a playthrough since OG vanilla, just started up again recently

[rare birch]

Its a building in Mistlands with inhabitants

[dense steppe]

[maiden granite]

||Ramming the ward with a cart||

[late coral]

How can you be sure you yourself are even real?

Are the syllables inside your head correct when you say them out loud?

Are you sure you don't have horrible repressed memories?

[austere flame]

just started exploring mountains and im already in love with the environment.

[frigid gust]

If you're choosing violence, ooze bombs are super useful, as well as frost arrows. Especially if you can push them into water.

[tulip patrol]

A) ram the ward with a cart til it breaks and youll be able take their shit without them aggroing.

B) Ooze Bombs are effective tools

C) Lead Seekers to their tower and let them wittle down the Dvergr forces than you come in and clean up the rest

[rare birch]

I honestly have never used frost arrows. Yeah since this is my first meeting violence is in order to get what I need

[rare birch]

Good option. Sounds like a plan

[regal spoke]

o/

[regal spoke]

Great suggestions. Missed opportunity for a creative option. Using traps.

[austere flame]

is silver useful? im looking through everything i can make rn and it seems that only draugr fang is worth it

[tulip patrol]

Silver is the mountain ore, needed for wolf armor and silver weapons

[austere flame]

oh i didnt see wolf armor

is it a big upgrade from root?

[tulip patrol]

Root is the Swamps light armor, Wolf is the Mountains heavy armor. Also theres not much in the Mountains that do pierce damage that the Root armor is good against so yea, id say its big. If youre using the light armors tho, Id start getting into Frost Caves getting Fenrir hair for the Fenrir armor set. That has a movement buff

[austere flame]

ok i see, ty

[rare birch]

I kited a seeker into the dvrgr tower by the chest and its not attacking the 2 mages and they are not attacking it??

[paper marsh]

Usually they do attack each other. But sometimes they’re bad at seeing each other

[rare birch]

#screenshots

[inner falcon]

It works.

[uncut bough]

i wish devs can make more recipes with eggs

sunny side up is a waste of money and the mushroom eggs is hard to come by

mushroom eggs that uses a different kind of imaginary mushroom instead of the very real and harvestable mushroom

[half dragon]

Cake is a lie

[rare birch]

So I had to shove a mage into the seeker and they fought it out. The other mage I could not shove so used some ooze bombs on him. Also How do you get the lantern? Do I have to destroy the tower?

[light moat]

Should be able to pick it, if it’s just set down on a table or ledge.

Like a dandelion!

[rare birch]

Its hanging on a wall

[uncut bough]

then it is one hell of a wall-hanging dandelion

[azure yacht]

Frostner, draugr fang, wolf armor, silver sword, crystal battleaxe...

[austere flame]

whats battleaxe good against

[rare birch]

Well I got it to fall down but I just got cores and no lantern

[uncut bough]

man i HATE seeker soldier

its attack is long distance and fast, i barely can predict when to parry

[dense steppe]

while he hits, roll behind his back and hit him on the belly

[uncut bough]

oh man the gjall groans so loud

[azure yacht]

Against everything that isn't resistant to slash (which is most mobs). All enemies in mountains except golems and most in plains

[ember panther]

Found a frozen lake with a fishingrod and lore stone in a frost cave. Doesn't seem like I can fish it though... Or am I missing something?

[austere flame]

what if i just use frostner?

[rare birch]

Do you have bait?

[ember panther]

Yeah I just dont see any water. It's all frozen

[uncut bough]

man i should bring more bomb ooze to clear out the ticks from the seeker 2 stars

OW the 2 star seeker hits so hard

even bonemass power still let it take chunks off my health

[azure yacht]

Also works. Except against golems and possibly lox

[austere flame]

ok i got, thanks for the info

[crude goblet]

guys i want to start a new valheim game with my friend, but we don't want to lose progress if with the incoming update... do you think it will take long to come around?

[uncut bough]

are there tick spawner in mines or sth? how many ticks and 1 star ticks do i have to clear out

[rare birch]

Just bad luck. You gotta find one that is not frozen

[paper marsh]

It's weird I'm making a trophy wall and all the trophies I'm missing are the absolute easiest ones to get 😅

[uncut bough]

i am so sad, i lack just 1 more black core to make black forge

[paper marsh]

sadness

[uncut bough]

also some yggdrasil wood but that is easy enough to get

[maiden granite]

Uss brother!
Firstly I got 4 and was sad that I was unable to build anything at all.

[paper marsh]

I go through Yggdrassil wood too fast

[uncut bough]

well at least the next day when i return to the infested mine there might be 5th

also got 3 fragment something in that one mine

[maiden granite]

After I got 5 I was sad that I had to deconstruct and switch between refinery, forge and galdr

[paper marsh]

get 6 more!

[rare birch]

Been meaning to do this

Cleared my first two infested mines and got 0 black cores

[paper marsh]

I think what I'm missing is Boar, Deer, Neck, Greydwarf, Greydwarf Brute, leech, blob, fenring, Golem, and dvergr

and some boss/miniboss trophies but we'll get to that

[hallow canyon]

You shouldn't lose progress as long as you aren't building in the far south where Ashlands will be

[rare birch]

Just realized you can't teleport Dvergr extractor. Now I gotta run through a bunch of mistlands

[maiden granite]

Why teleport?
Just bring 5 black metal when you go look for mistlands and setup a sap extractor near there where you found it and leave a portal there.

[paper marsh]

sometimes I even just bring iron and then find a nearby plains to get blackmetal and smelt. More work but fun

[maiden granite]

Yeah but the pain is when there is no plains on the same island and then you gotta sail upwind and downwind.

🥲

[rare birch]

Too late I ran through the mist and BF and Plains lol. Ran into a seeker solider, and of course a Troll

[ember panther]

Didn't realize how good the harnesk was. Archers do nothing to me now

Gonna attempt the plains soon

[maiden granite]

Deathsquitos are the main reason why you'll need harnesk the most.

Stealthy 1 shot kill is their most annoying part

[nocturne wolf]

They should only one-shot kill if you can’t hear them and have bad armor/food (and maybe if you are in a high difficulty)

[paper marsh]

Even naked with swamp tier food (2 hp foods) you can tank them on normal

[half dragon]

with fenris set maxed you can survive with 0 food 1 hit... (normal)

[nocturne wolf]

If you can hear them you can easily block, hit them first or roll into them, if anyone is wondering why I mentioned that

[half dragon]

might still die occasionally due to randomness of damage

[paper marsh]

that doesnt sound right

[nocturne wolf]

I’m sure enemies don’t do random damage

[odd helm]

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't fly, yeah

[paper marsh]

They do 90 damage, maxed fenris set is 48? So thats 42 damage and you shuould have 25 hp withn o food?

[odd helm]

Do you mean full root, no food?

[half dragon]

ahh, I probably had that slime power on

[paper marsh]

They do damage in a range, similar to players. Sometimes an enemy might hit you for 13 damage, another time 14, etc.

that should do it

[half dragon]

Okay now I remember, I did have that slime power on

[broken surge]

I am finally going to give this game a chance, it's just the graphics are so bad

[half dragon]

it's an art choice...

[paper marsh]

Tbh I never pay attention to graphics

[nocturne wolf]

They aren't, and how does that stop you playing?

[half dragon]

And certainly looks better than most small studios would accomplish trying to go for realistic art style

Eh... guess some people are too used to AAA/AA only

[vocal rivet]

They're really not.

[brisk agate]

I also couldn’t start playing for a long time because of the graphics... but that was my mistake😁

This game has an incredible atmosphere, few games can boast of this

[rare birch]

I grabbed a wishbone and headed to a small swamp by the mistlands. No crypts but I found some scrap piles. Made and set up my first sap extractor. Next time I sail somewhere I am bringing iron and black metal bars in my boat

[paper marsh]

Probably would have been easier to mine the iron from mistlands

[rare birch]

Yeah but I did not think of that lol. In fact I already had some iron from there in a random chest lol. Still while looking I stocked up on swamp stuff and killed 2 abominations

I just need black cores now

[nocturne wolf]

If you havent already, make a mortar and pestle

[paper marsh]

The most valued mistlands resource

[rare birch]

So black cores are just in the infested mines right

[paper marsh]

Yup

[rare birch]

Already done and got all the good foods

[paper marsh]

Make sure to check for hidden rooms

[rare birch]

How are they hidden

[dense steppe]

In the wall, of course

[nocturne wolf]

You can smash glass boxes with items inside

[paper marsh]

Some walls you can interact (e) with. Which walls you’ll have to find out for yourself, there’s two types

[rare birch]

I saw gateways but no hidden doors. Are the doors marked?

[paper marsh]

What do you mean gateways?

[desert tangle]

anyone plays on gamepass (PC)? can you check if ur timeplayed also shows up "N/A"?

[paper marsh]

Basically one type of door has a blue glowing rune on it, the other has some kinda scratched faded texture down the middle. Press e to open them

[nocturne wolf]

I don't play on gamepass now, but I remember time played didn't save for valheim.

[desert tangle]

rip

wanted to see how much i no lifed this game lol

[nocturne wolf]

If you know when you usally sleep you can guess from the days in your world.

if you didn't know, you can sleep at noon to save as much time as possible for farming.

[rare birch]

old Devgr gate is the actual name I guess

[stiff ibex]

yo when should ashlands be out?

[merry pebble]

in next 3 months

[stiff ibex]

alr

Is iron gate really run by only 4 guys

[empty bison]

so I created boat for thee first time, went for some ore hunting and guess what happened when I was sailing away with loot and night was coming. Troll started to hurl stones and before I could set my boat to went away, he took me down along with my boat :D. So thats my troll first experience

[merry pebble]

they have 14(?) devs iirc

[azure yacht]

There are 13

[dense rapids]

How are they doing?

What is the best way to make video recordings of gameplay on pc?

[uncut bough]

man i slept on ooze bomb for too long, it is SUCH a good weapon to clear infested mines

[ember panther]

Kinda weird. Deaths Quito does like 15 damage with harnsek but i can't block it. Knife is good again tho

[uncut bough]

Ticks? gone, seeker brood? gone, seeker? well they don't immediately die but any low health enemy adjacent to it is gone

[paper marsh]

I use OBS

[uncut bough]

never knew grenadier is a relevant way to play game

[azure yacht]

Prioritize getting bile bombs

[ember panther]

Wheres the grenade skill tho

[uncut bough]

devs dont reward throwing grenade

[azure yacht]

At skill 100, the clouds are like nuclear blasts

[uncut bough]

i want to pitch the ideas of creating explosive spell to devs

only in the form of a throwable object, dare i say, like a....grenade?

[nocturne wolf]

or a bile bomb

[uncut bough]

i want explosion, not fart

[fervent raft]

hi how do u play this

[vocal rivet]

One for the suggestion channel.

[pure plume]

They should add Holy Hand Grenade

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-and-the-holy-grail-open-holy-hand-grenade-gif-16402008

[half flax]

This

[half dragon]

First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

[dense rapids]

Hi and welcome to Valheim! What kind of info would you like?

The game is great to play by just experiencing it yourself and learning by discovering things. There is a bird that will give you hints throughout the game, you can follow that advice to start with. If you want beginners advice you can get it, but be clear about if you don't want any spoilers.

[uncut bough]

i finally got the arbalest, and unlocked the level 2 black forge

but uh what is the upgrade for level 3 black forge?

[half flax]

Excellent, they will most likely just add the bunny….

[dense rapids]

That's just a 2 star hare

[half dragon]

There are hares, add a rare chance to spawn a 3 star one

and it shall be demonic

[empty bison]

so I crafted shield, axe, cauldron, boat and fermenter from bronze thing. Should I go for more thing or is this enough? My head will explode from farming bronze 😄

yeah and cultivator

[half dragon]

you'll need a mace if too if you wish to have a great time in the swamp

swamp has multiple enemies that do not like blunt damage, not 100% necessary but makes your life easier

[uncut bough]

is Arbalest considered a weapon to replace the good old bow, or it is just a side grade?

[half dragon]

there are 2 bows in that same tier

quite obvious which weapon they like 😂

[pure plume]

Arbalest is different then bow in handling

So wouldn't call that replacement

[half dragon]

pretty much as different as normal axe and battleaxe

[merry pebble]

did you make a spring already?

[uncut bough]

no

i did make the something upgrade that takes only copper, wood and marble

[half dragon]

I haven't got to mistlands yet, but when I took a look at the crossbow it looked like the perfect weapon for ambushing enemies with sneak multiplier

[merry pebble]

look into the artistan table then

[paper marsh]

Sounds good to me. Do want to build all upgrades for workbench and forge too tho, whether now or later. As mentioned mace is nice, for next biome but not required (club does well too, any other weapon does well just one enemy that takes a few more hits without a mace)

[uncut bough]

looking into it

only 2 options: wood missiles or blackmetal missiles

[merry pebble]

hmm, so you didnt refine any eitr then

[paper marsh]

Need to get Eitr first

[half dragon]

only problem with no mace would be very high risk of getting hit by something you do not want to hit you

[heady parcel]

I haven't built it yet, for that very reason. Seems great for ambushes, but then useless for the kind of run-dodge-shoot-run tactic I use with my bow the times I aggro something bigger than me

[half dragon]

you can use both, can't you? open a fight with it and then swap to bow

[heady parcel]

Already carry enough weapons with me to open a shop 😅

[half dragon]

haha, become the armory

[paper marsh]

Idk I never run mace. Only one mob that it kills faster and that mob feels kinda harmless anyways. For boss a mace feels required but otherwise it feels overrated to me

[half dragon]

far from harmless when you're new to the game

[uncut bough]

do the petrified bones work the same way like other mining resources where i can just pop it?

[heady parcel]

Although the times I've needed my frostner recently is exactly 0, so that one I might as well leave home to practice something else

[uncut bough]

also are they easier to pop or it is shrimply not worth popping?

[paper marsh]

True. Gotta catch on to the poison resist mead tip or it will be dangerous

[half dragon]

it was the number 1 cause of death for me on my first playthrough, on 2nd never died to it outside of getting ambushed by the bigger one lol

[uncut bough]

GJALLLLLL

it came out of nowhere while i am posing at the bones

OMG IT HURTS SO BAD

[heady parcel]

Watched a two-gjall tag team completely annihilate a large dvergr camp

[uncut bough]

the burn dmg took me to 22 health and i use heal potion just in time

[empty bison]

alright thanks. It seems that I could do mace aswell, find some tin in chest and copper is everywhere in blackforest, ty 🙂

[heady parcel]

Dvergr are not very clever when covered with ticks

[halcyon blade]

Yes, they will. But like copper deposits some pieces have large hitboxes.

[half dragon]

it's a bit disappointing it doesn't have as much use in later biomes as you'd hope. basically useless in mountains vs. other options, plains is... well not useless. Can be good but it's not designed to counter anything there. Can be good against groups... but it's a damn beast in swamp, the previous damn biome 😂

might get use in ashlands tho

[heady parcel]

Aye, its damage is poor and I've never needed its frost slow properties, and now that I have Mistwalker there is legit no reason to carry it. I just have it on me because...it is Frostner.

[half dragon]

well there is that boss you could grind for those blobs... but iron mace could do the same thing since the boss itself doesn't have anything good to drop...

kinda wish there was a reason to kill bosses multiple times

[heady parcel]

There's no club in Mistlands right, the latest club is still Porcupine?

[paper marsh]

Bruh it works great in plains and mistlands, which are above the biome it comes from. How many bronze weapons hold up well in mountains?

[paper marsh]

Technically there is but it’s 2 handed

[uncut bough]

i have concluded that arbalest is.... a little bit of meh

the constant having to load bow before using it just blows it out of the water

[paper marsh]

Compared to bow it is. Good for sneak attacks tho

[heady parcel]

2H-mace is a very fun but very situational weapon, the movement penalty makes it bloody scary to use against mobs that can actually hurt you...

[paper marsh]

I’ve pretty much never used them

[half dragon]

basically just a worse atgeir

[austere flame]

will wolves eat any raw meat?

[heady parcel]

I used Stagbreaker in the mtns to find silver, after seeing some youtube vid. And they are useful to cheese some mobs and spawners in crypts if you are poorly geared

[half dragon]

there's still some fun uses for it though, like hitting things through walls

[half dragon]

anything but wolf meat, they aint cannibals

[heady parcel]

Aye, ending the spawner before the mobs can even get to you is useful

[austere flame]

lol i was hoping wolf meat too

[uncut bough]

well i just popped a rib cage but some part of rib cage is near water so some marble sunk

[half dragon]

it would be very helpful lol

[uncut bough]

i am trying to find where they are cuz the sunken marbles wont render

[past plaza]

is there a possibility to participate in the "build of the month" challenge?

[uncut bough]

oh yea u can

[past plaza]

how 😉

[heady parcel]

Read the dev news posts, they tell how (don't remember myself)

[exotic cradle]

It's on Steam forums

[past plaza]

ah I got it, ty all

[uncut bough]

gyatt damn a rib cage generates around 250 black marbles

i dont need to destroy dvergr buildings anymore

[steep bison]

Butter?

[ember panther]

Man 2 nights spent lost in a massive plains is stressful... Almost died to the tar things. Forgot about those

[dense rapids]

oh yeah growth are hard

[serene talon]

if you run in circels around them their attacks have a bigger chance to miss

[merry pebble]

when you hear/see them shoot roll out of the way 😄 its quite easy way to deal with them

[heady parcel]

Sideways roll - charge & kill - next

[paper marsh]

Running out of the way is good too, no timing required

[heady parcel]

Aye, but then getting in to hit them can take a bit longer. But they have a generous recharge time between attacks, so it works

[dense rapids]

"You are bein hunted" => 22 wolf pelt and meat. I'm not sure I was the one being hunted there..

[raven vapor]

Hey everyone! I'm new here! And kinda to valheim also! Can anyone help me with the elder? This fight is just pure chaos

[frail wagon]

tbh ashlands BETTER add more modifyer's

[frail wagon]

Bronze armor+finewood bow+firearrows

[raven vapor]

my exact loadout lol

[frail wagon]

and some good food id reccomend something like jerky+meats

[raven vapor]

How does one make jerky?

[frail wagon]

you need the cauldron first

then its just 1 boar meat+1 honey

[frail wagon]

also its made it stacks of 2 so if you just get 5 honey and 5 meat you wont have to craft more for awhile

[raven vapor]

ooh nice

[frail wagon]

yeah cheap also its a mix food so you get stam and hp from it

[paper marsh]

can't help right now but with your loadout I'd recommend hiding behind the pillars when he shoots, and peaking out to shoot him when he doesnt. If he walks up to you or summons roots, run to another pillar

[frail wagon]

also CLEAR OUT THE AREA

make sure there is no skellys trolls or dwarfs nere your boss

[raven vapor]

Oh the elder is already doing that part for me lol

Oh in that sense yeah i already screwed up

[frail wagon]

but uh yeah the only advise i can give
hide behind the pillar's
use fire arrows
Clear out the area of enemy's
use Good food

[raven vapor]

Exact tactic I'm doing but that dude takes so little damage it's painful

[frail wagon]

also btw

a tactic you COULD try is getting the abyssle dagger and attacking him with that

[raven vapor]

I don't know how safe it would be to get up close and personal with the bigman

[frail wagon]

he only really stomps when your close and if you just roll away its fine

[paper marsh]

yeah game is all about patience and preparation

[frail wagon]

and the abys is iron grade so it will be quite effective

[frail wagon]

and on top of that it isnt really hard to get

[paper marsh]

pretty safe. Think he'll only try to stomp on you, but its a very slow attack and easy to roll out of

or even run out of

[frail wagon]

all you need is the abillity to look out for things an antler pick and a karve

[raven vapor]

I'll have to try to get home cus i set a spawn next to the boss zone so I'll have to run home

but I'll try to rearm

[frail wagon]

you could also try a more odd tactic

for example:Wolfs
Are VERY strong

[paper marsh]

or maybe just let new players stick to the intended progression on their first go

Can always lower difficulty is necessary, but learning how to overcome challenges is a lot of fun

[frail wagon]

granted using this tactic will kinda damper your skills

[raven vapor]

I've already beaten him once a while back btw! But i was on xbox one and had like 10 fps at most

[frail wagon]

again upgraded finewood bow+decent armor should cut it

[nocturne wolf]

If you stay in close range his melee attacks are incredibly easy to roll into

[frail wagon]

and if you dont wanna beat him the normal way you can always just tame wolf's or get gear above him

again you probably should just do it the normal way

[nocturne wolf]

Troll armor and a bronze weapon (+ a buckler or bone tower shield if it’s one-handed) with good food is all you need for an easy kill.

[frail wagon]

atigier or axe is ideal

also fun fact: you dont need to get a new axe until mist lands

[paper marsh]

pretty much any bronze weapon is great for Elder

[paper roost]

its not

[frail wagon]

bronze can cut down every kind of tree expect the one's in mistlands so dont waste your stuff getting new axes until plains

[paper marsh]

after Bronze? You get one in Swamp, Mountain, Plains, and Mistlands. Granted swamp and mountain axes are meh to get if you just get them for cutting wood

[paper roost]

hi guys btw

[frail wagon]

unless you wanna fight with axes and want the boost in power

[frail wagon]

yeah only upgrade you axes in every biome unless your using axe's for combat

[paper marsh]

ah I read "you dont get" instead of "you dont need to get"

[frail wagon]

if you just want an axe for wood cutting stick with bronze until you reach plains then upgrade to black metel because you need it for mist lands

[paper marsh]

I look forward to axes hopefully becoming meta in a few months

[frail wagon]

tbh i used a bronze axe as my weapon for awhile im in very early swamp stage rn and im using Abys dagger now

[flat stag]

Does anyone know if World Modifier values can be changed individually on a dedicated server? We want a mob to do more damage to us and we want to do more damage to it. Is it possible?

[solemn matrix]

I'm a Viking , my axe is my life 🪓

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll need a mace for bonemass, he’s resistant to all physical damage except blunt.

[paper marsh]

yea I rarely make any bronze weapon but axe. Bronze is a pain to get

[frail wagon]

making bronze makes me want to run at a troll with no food or armor

[nocturne wolf]

It’s possible with -modifier. Check the server manual.

[frail wagon]

yeah i know il make an iron mace when i have iron

[paper roost]

its not that you need, but its better to have for that fight

[flat stag]

Thanks. Sorry, but where is that server manual? You mean the website?

[paper marsh]

Sometimes if I'm feeling lazy for getting materials I'll either run at bonemass with a lvl 3-4 club, or just skip him

[nocturne wolf]

The pdf file in the same folder as the .bat used to start the server

[flat stag]

Ok, and it's possible to edit all of those values individually? Like damage taken vs damage given?

[frail wagon]

i cannot wait to be out of the bronze age because having to get 2 copper and 1 tin for every bronze is HORRIBLE

[nocturne wolf]

Damage taken and enemy health are part of the same world modifier, but other settings can be done individually

[nocturne wolf]

Bronze items use a small amount of bronze to make though.
(It might not seem it now, but you need a ton of iron to make anything)

[flat stag]

I am not sure I understand. If you look at Combat Settings. Let's say Hard. It says 85, 150, 120, 140.

[frail wagon]

i want the iron slede tbh because uh
BIG HAMMOR BIG HAMMOR BIG HAMMOR BIG HAMMOR

[flat stag]

is it possible to make it 150, 150, 120, 140?

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers <-- for reference

[paper marsh]

I don't know much about dedicated servers, but these are the difficulty settings:

Easy:
Player damage: 110%
Enemy damage: 75%
Enemy speed & size: 90%

Normal:
Player damage: 100%
Enemy damage: 100%
Enemy speed & size: 100%

Hard:
Player damage: 85%
Enemy damage: 150%
Enemy speed & size: 110%
Upgrade chance: 20%

Very hard:
Player damage: 70%
Enemy damage: 200%
Enemy speed & size: 120%
Upgrade chance: 40%

They can't be mixed and matched

[nocturne wolf]

You use the name of the difficulty, not the numbers, so no

[flat stag]

So, it's not possible to change those parameters individually?

We can only use presets like Normal or Hard?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[flat stag]

Oh well, thanks anyway

[supple rover]

Is there any public servers on xbox to play on?

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[supple rover]

Thanks

[half dragon]

you can change things individually, but there's no proper slider, just few options to choose from. Like, you can disable portals but change nothing else, or maybe you want more resources but keep the game at normal difficulty otherwise. Or maybe you want enemies to be stronger but change nothing else

can still select presets if you want to though

[raven vapor]

I did it! Treebeard is dead

[half dragon]

that boss is a test of patience for sure 😂

gotta take it slow and careful, lots of health to go through

[raven vapor]

I just had to take care of 2 trolls and a bunch greydwarves while dodging the roots but after that it wasn't all that hard

[paper marsh]

next boss has oceans of health

[raven vapor]

pls don't spoil anything

i wanna experience the game knowing nothing
