tried to check channels and don't really see anything that would be spoiler free
well except lfg... doubt anybody would be posting anything spoiler there
that is the plan
if i have any questions i'll ask
But I'll make sure to avoid spoilers when i can
sure try to do so 😄 i can say that the first playthrough was probably the most enjoyable for me 😄
i love the fact you can dig under the eldar platform and just chill there
boss help requests for sure
Forgor those are a thing. So far been able to beat every boss without dying due to preparations and careful fighting
The only time I’ve ever died to a boss is when I used magic against the queen, in my second playthrough
Man the etir refiner or whatever that is needs 5 more black core
I am not in the mood to go into more creepy mines
Impressive. I’m surprised that’s the thing that finally got you tho
Then break down your black forge
The eitr regen isnt enough even with the armor when all the shields break in one hit from thousands of pickaxe/chop damage and the skeletts die so fast.
Maybe I should’ve used more of the fire staff, but I didnt know I was making a bad weapon choice until it was too late
are 1 star and 2 star boars super rare or something? ive seen dozens of 1 star deers but not a single 1 star boar so far yet
you just need to be far enough from centre of the world or get lucky with runestone spawns
oh so no 1 star boars can spawn in the center island?
They can if it’s big enough. 800m is the minimum distance I think
Yea they don’t spawn with stars near center of world (prob not on starting island). But if you venture away from there they’ll spawn with stars
Exception is that a group of them have a one time spawn near some of those red rune stones, and those groups can have stars
2-star and 1-star boars start at the same distance
I've seen 2* boar on spawn island. Definitely rare
can i transport a boar on a karve or is it too small
you can... but best to do it after you tame it 😄
also how do you get a tamed boar to follow you? is it like minecraft where if you have a carrot in your hand it will start following?
harpoon or push it
you can make coridor with fences and push it through there
In valheim you can’t hold most items.
The 2* boar on Germs server. Did that come from a runestone
think so yea, can't remember tho
It was a good run from spawn
best to move them before taming. Bc they'll follow (chase) you
It was just up the coast from Eik. But yeah a good distance from spawn
even if theyre on a different island?
then you'd have to get them on a ship, but its risky business transporting them. And at that point yea prob best to have them tamed, but you'd prob need a harpoon
i had expected the ancient sword to drop more iron and copper scrap
instead there are just 8 iron and 8 copper scrap
also i just popped an ancient skull....by just hitting the soft tissue
harpoon not really neceseary but it will certainly make it easier 😄
so both marble and soft tissue just get washed into the water below
better get some height so you can dive down and get it
copper/iron mining in mistlands is pretty decent imo
also is it common that a rib cage spawns without a skull nearby?
cuz i have only mined 1 skull, but there are 2 rib cages and 2 sword
Seems the way sometimes. I've found skulls and ribs separate
man i am starting to hate arbalest, it is just not good in general. It can be used as a guaranteed 100% surprise attack weapon that get you the surprise attack damage, but other than that it is just so bad
yeah, not that uncommon
it is clunky, the reload either makes you vulnerable for a while or you dont reload at all
and also the reload animation is LONGER than the reload bar of the arbalest
so after the bar is filled up you still need to wait 1-2 seconds for the bolt to be cocked and locked in place before firing
It’s good for hare hunting
yup
i am just beginning to regret it now
Then don't use it. I find it works best when revisiting biomes
i crafted like 300 bone bolt just in anticipation of using it forever and ever, but now i am just washed with regret
Arbalest tends to be a bit of a disappointment after bow spoils you. In my bowless run I've been enjoying it tho
it takes a while to level
The low level could be a factor as well. I enjoyed using it, but i probably won't make it again this playthrough
no i am just not going to use it aside from maybe hunting, but bow do that better
like when you switch to crossbow it still needs to reload first oh my gawd
i am just slowly fed up of the arbalest
I do like that arbalest reload doesn't halt eitr regen. Pretty sure drawing the bow cancels eitr regen
Yeah the slow movespeed and load up every time you bring it out is kind annoying
It's fun to bring on boat adventures tho
It’s great for launching greylings to the edge of the world
guys does the real game start at the swamp?
If you mean where enemies can actually kill you, yes.
I’d say Black Forest, but to each their own.
I mean, only Meadows is considered the tutorial biome, but the difficulty curve to swamp is defnitely higher.
There’s a big difficulty spike entering the swamp though, I think most would agree on that.
Always be rested in swamp, leave before night and never let your stamina get too low
Hey sorry to bother you guys! I'm sure all of you guys know how in the Meadows biome, the grass can obscure the mushrooms on the floor. I'm working on a college assignment and I decided to reference Valheim. Would this problem be considered a Minor/Cosmetic (they don't affect gameplay, just annoying or bothersome) problem or an Intermediate (one that causes frustration but is an easy workaround for the player) problem?
I’d say option 1, minor cosmetic thing
Same, it's such a small issue.
definetly 1
some players just drag the foilage slider to 0 to remove the grass
just like people do in war thunder
That's what I was thinking, but I was overthinking it thinking that players might miss out on extra mushrooms overtime which might've caused frustration, but 1 makes sense
Thanks guys!
Wow, the Eitr set looks really badass! Was not expecting it to look so good.
and every time you see mushrooms you can just drop a pin at their location so you dont have to look for them again 😄
Wood cutting days be like ⛈️
Is it weird that I’m struggling on Yggdrasil wood more so than cores and eitr? And I’ve even been specifically targeting trees when I head to mistlands
May also be because I’m playing .5 resources and cores and tissue have better drop rates on here than wood
Gotta be rng
climb up on mountains
you can better see where the trees are that way
I did have pretty good core luck, I'll say that
Ashlands is on test now, correct?
no
Oh woops
only 1 issue with that, the Mistlands has... mist
Yea, I've been using height to scout the place. Mistlands around my base is barren of trees now. Just gotta go further and get more
Might make it a bit easier if I had a wisplight but trees are usually easy enough to see
well there are plenty of peaks that dont have mist, and the trees like to poke out of it quite often 😄
Ballistas and staves and stairs take so much ygg 😩
You might literally be the only person in the world who struggles to get wood over cores haha
likely lol
I will say I did have one 3 hour session of getting lost in the mist, where I chose not to carry yggdrassil because my weight was getting tight and I had no inventory spots, which probably also led to my deficiency
tried drawing something any guesses as to what this is? :P https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1085160078878986282/1224178745204670464/mystery.jpg
I don't think anyone is going to click that.
its safe
Zelda?
cuddling with a lizard/dino?
um I just haven't gotten around to drawing the fur, but it does kinda look like a lizard without it
Lox
if it's supposed to be a lox it needs a wider face and fur yeh
They are widebois, but that particular perspective makes it difficult to portray
how long does "the ground is shaking" last?

couple minutes or so
all raids last 2 mins roughly
It's the shortest raid
There is a reason I stick to inanimate objects when I do draw, I cannot draw living creatures to save my life it's the wonky perspective.
cool
Mm, some are longer... Smell from the swamp is longer than avg. And trolls is shorter
If you leave the red area, the event will pause.
6 is good going
My general strat for the troll raid specifically is to gather their attentions, run in circles until the raid end, and then kill them. They will infinitely spawn provided you can kill so many in 2 minutes
But they won't spawn more than 3 at a time, if I remember correctly.
2 is the maximum spawn.
is there a cd on the next spawn or is it immediate after 1 dies?
46 minutes is the minimum time between raids
The event will try and spawn a new Troll up to the limit every 20 seconds.
20 seconds, thanks, i had 15 in mind
nvm read the question wrong lol
so yr only limited by how long the raid lasts and that 20 second respawn timer
Do those respawn times pause when you go outside the raid area?
Yknow, I'm not 100% sure, I'd imagine so though.
hmm I'd imagine the opposite, but I have no reason to believe so
Given that the raid timer pauses, why wouldn't the spawn timer as well? But yeah, don't know for definite.
Pre sure the raids spawn a set certain number of mobs within the radius. If you kill one, another spawns to take it's place. Happens almost instantly. Saw a draugrs / skeleton army all spawn in once a raid started on the mountain
how instantly depends on the mob
No, as I said there's a set interval.
Is the queen the last boss?
For now
currently
When the new biome is added, will there be a way to add it to existing worlds or do you have to make a new world?
It's already there technically.
It'll be added automatically :)
Just don't go and explore all of the current ashlands, because then it won't update
Oh nice, even on the dedicated server I run? It'll just convert some of the ashlands into the new one?
Have to restart the server or something I'd guess?
It's like watching your pot when it's cooking. if you look at it, nothing will happen. You have to ignore it, let it cook in the background. Only then will it appear.
it will be a patch update, just like Mistlands
ye. Updates always automatically update the parts of the world that haven't been explored on the map. So any ashlands you havent explored will udpate
Keep in mind, the generating distance is quite large so if you're intent on exploring the ashlands on the world you currently use, make sure to give it a wide berth.
ok ty guys
ye best practice is to just stay well away from it, since we don't know how much the connecting landmasses that are there currently will change, we only know that they won't connect anymore so building near the border is pointless
(and may end up with yr build being in the Ocean and falling to bits due to lack of support)
depends how close you are to the raid count check 😉
Does anyone have a server I could join? I am just starting the game
#1024264966712340510 you can browse posts or create one yrself 👍
So not what you said.
Dude you don't have to be so matter of fact 🙄 I said almost instantly, which is what many will experience. I read what you said about 20s. It just isn't that important
I just disagree that 20s is any way instant.
And that's just the troll raid. Other raids have even longer counters.
Fair enough
ashlands spoilers
Ashlands spoiler is that the boss is yagluth's legs
||I wonder what the alternative armor's effects will be, cause the light is suppose to take over the fenris set and the mage will late over, the mage set. But what Im wondering is if the new armor will have new set bonuses or will just have better stats for whatever their roll is supposed to be. Like id the light just makes you go 20% faster instead of 15%||
that would be fire
It would make no sense.
🤭
what wouldnt?
Armour that's constantly on fire so it gives wet resist
The Ashlands boss being related to the boss from two biomes prior.
???
It's a joke
I highly doubt new light armor will just copy the effect of a prior light armor and boost it a little. I expect it to be a unique effect
you mean yagluth with legs?
Not yag with legs, just his legs
also current fenris set gives you +9% movespeed
||I do like the thought of atleast the mage and light sets had differences. wheer you could run mistlands mage or fenris and it still be a somewhat viable different playstyle||
I thought it was 15?
all the light armors so far have different effects. Troll gives sneak, root gives poison/pierce resist and archery skill, fenris gives speed, fire resist, and fist skill, and mage gives eitr regen
Excited to see what Ashlands brings
3% per piece x 3 pieces = 9%
You could argue it gives more compared to wearing heavy armor tho. If you're wearing full heavy armor you're at -10% movespeed, so at that point +9% is really 19% better
oh shit youre right, damn, well its still very fast
yup. With 100 run skill you also get another +25%, so you can go superspeed with high run skill and fenris armor
I'm prob gonna try a fenris armor mage build for Ashlands
wait is this true?
You're conflating it with the unarmed skill bonus it gives
It's 25% faster than base, there's no additional reward for hitting 100 running
no I just checked, it does
(I checked google)
What numbers did it give and how did it give them?
I think Hodge is just clarifying that going from 99 to 100 doesn't give a huge buff
It's just slowly increasing speed as you up run skill, to a max of 25%
So total movespeed with 100 run and full fenris would be 25+9 = 34%
its on the valheim wiki
This
these are the statsCharacters run at 13.5km/h no matter the run skill level
At 0 skill you sprint 24km/h
At 100 skill you sprint 30km/h
ooooohhhhhhh
That's 25%.
Max run speed is 9.4m/s
0.1m/s slower than a longship with tailwind
Inb4 someone mentions the longship can go faster, yes i know
ye, wasnt thr fenris buff giving you movement speed? its every peace adding 3% ?
yes, the speed is for each piece, the fire protection is for full set
my cart can go even faster
Has anyone built a proper canal to make a shortcut?
well damn. luckily realized early on that there is a limit to how much ground you can remove.
Late but better than too late.
Also the limitations varies from place to place.
In mountains it is quite high up.
Are there any certain dangerous monsters in mistland that spawns at night?
I am in a mine and i have overstayed the daytime so now i am hesitant of running to the black forest biome
It's based on the terraformed terrain height. 8m up/down
Nothing in particular but more seekers and occasional starred soldiers.
It's pretty much same but with stars
Damn i am staying in this mine till daytime
Always carry a portal and 10 wood leaving a unconnected portal at home
Place that down at the entrance of the infested mine.
That means i have to carry extra 10 wood for the workbench
Man the arbalest doesn’t have good depression angle
Even if i point the cursor to the floor, it still shoots almost horizontally, as if it is fixed to that position already
They are just giving me all the reasons to hate arbalest man
10 extra wood is hardly a problem. it's not going to burden you when you leave it with the portal
Cult of the Spring Bloom
Why can't I add flowers 😦
You get blessed by sniffler, he gives it to u
I mean smiffe, but it is basically same name
Well i didn’t wanna get infected with flower petals but he just gave it to me anyways so now i am infected
the hell happened to me chara? restoring backup isn't fixing it
Run for ur life
Smiffe I'd like to join the cult.
any coastal area makes it easier to spot them when they land at very least
Somehow the game managed to corrupt my chara and ALL of the backups
I was able to restore an older chara I deleted recently tho... fuck it I'll skip part of the plains shenanigans then and just use my old gear
Ask him nicer
I think u should beg him, i think u should be down on ur knees /j
I thought mistland has a lot of iron scraps but nah each sword gives 7-8 iron
Otherwise it is all Black Marble
@near furnace sorry for the ping but I am standing on my knees atm
My English isn't great so I can't write a poem about your greatness
Can I have more flowers
Looks like you got your wish anyway! 🌸

that's only for people who started with flowers 🤔
spring club founders priveledge
Two times zero is still zero
Oh wait
Oops
Huh, this is weird.
The msg I replied to doesn't show the flowers but they are showing in the replied msg
And they do appear here now
Just got spare 5 bronze from farming it. Should I upgrade mace/axe or shield? 🙂
made sure you check you're not missing out any crafting table upgrades?
I have all upgrades (at least which I had recipe for) 😄
4th bench, and some nails and bucket for forge
Black forest is the top and plains at second
honestly just wait until night time, bird spawns everywhere, to hunt
Same happened to me actually
Did yall know discord is adding ads this week?
hopfully not to our server 🤔
or it's a april fools thing
@drowsy magnet we don't add jokes inside the game
||just so you know it||
ooh okay but did I get you
god no
I know every single thing about valheim
haha!
so if you gonna "joke". you better bring something really beliveable
I'm moving to Sweden
Hello, was a little hesitant when I first bought Valheim on March 10th. I played it for the first time in March 22nd and have been enjoying it since. I have a total of 25.1 hours as of sending this message, I really love the building part of the game.
I also spent several hours trying to find the Merchant 
As is tradition on first playthrough 😄
Welcome 👋
Mobs have a sense of smell
Exhibit A - Trolls sniffing their hand
I think I saw a copy of Half-Life 3 somewhere in the dark forest...
100% real, no joke
Haldor must have been playing it while waiting for customers 
I am convinced deer do
nope
I'm convinced those grey dwarves do. They're totally just randomly 100% of the time walking towards my general direction even when not making noise 😂
each day goes by and i am still not done trashing arbalest
it is so bad, its elevation angle is so bad, much more restricted than the bow
Arbalest is immunised against all dangers
like pitching the arbalest a bit up and it still wont shoot up like a bow, it just shoots horizontally, same as pitching down
bow can shoot up at like 80 degree up and still works
Doesn't shoot like a bow because it's not a replacement for the bow. It's for people who don't use bows
it is not bow but i am just saying that it is much more restrictive than a bow
and i don't see any immediate upside other than a guaranteed surprise first hit for huge crit dmg
which also takes time to switch to the arbalest, for the arbalest to load a bow, wait for the loading animation to complete, fire
The upside is ranged damage without hours of skill investment. Spinesnap is better than the arbalest if you're already using bows. The arbalest is not for bow users. Just like how atgiers aren't spear upgrades, they're for people who aren't using spears but want pierce damage at melee range
The bolt loading also doesn't really matter since you use the arbalest from extreme range. You can get 3/4 shots off on anything before it gets close to you
Thank you~
i would argue that the ranged damage upside is also wonky, as i said the elevation angle is horible, either you have to aim dead ahead to actually hit because any other slight deviation of elevation angle just makes it shoot straight ahead anyways
You have to aim straight at something to hit it? Is that your complaint?
I really can't comprehend the train of thought of seeing a huge crossbow, which is entirely different both mechanically and aesthetically from a bow and then think it might work as a bow...
A crossbow that works somewhat like a crossbow? Madness.
yea, i complain because it is suppose to shoot wherever i point my crosshair instead of still being confined to the position of the weapon
I think I get your concern here but it’s very exaggerated. Arbalest shoots up and down just fine, it just doesn’t go straight to the crosshair but instead a little off. Just something to get used to
so again i will say, if i point the mouse upward, maybe even just a bit, it should still shoot upward, not the same as where the arbalest is located
That's an issue with the character and how the crosshair works, not the arbalest
The arbalest goes straight at the crosshair if it's far enough away 😉 you just have to figure out the slight difference in between because it fires from below your head height where the crosshair is. It is not great for anything up close. Treat it like a sniper and you'll have much more success.
I believe the discrepancy here is that the bolt originates from the tip of the arbalest, and bows originate from way closer to your body. This difference makes them both work differently in relation to the crosshair, which is a mechanically difficult thing to account for in a third person perspective.
But like others have said, it's already pretty dead-on at sufficient range, and at closer ranges there's a consistent deviation that you can account for with practice. Treat it as a challenge to overcome rather than a bug.
One benefit is that you can shoot straight down into an enemy slightly beyond a wall you're standing on as cover, since the bolt originates a bit further out from you~
@odd helmThe crossbow has a flat firing trajectory 
to hit a crossbow at close range, you need to shoot at the center of mass of the object and the bolt will hit the target 
Does Hildir's quest mini boss respawn back?
No. They come back in their raids
alright thanks!
when release date?
I hadn't seen a single leviathan yet... but then I found 2 of them literally touching each other. Like really close
soon 
The Question is:
When soon?
First half of this year 🙂
I don't know 
read the rules, it says that we don’t have to know anything 
anyone hosting
damn i knew i should read conditions before i confirm it
always read the fine print, especially if it's written in what appears to be blood 
i thought it was ketchup 😟
yes, it's ketchup 
Since many people here have made the case that arbalest is not bad, i will try using it to clear a fulings village
@uncut boughjust put a support behind you so that the recoil doesn’t throw you out of a comfortable shooting position 
knock out the shamans from afar, then kill the ones with darts, and then everyone else 
is it possible to make server wide messages on a dedicated server without using /s every time?
Omg new valheim patch dropped? Patch 0.217.45
-Increased wolves' movement speed by 100%.
-Gjalls now shoot 5 fireballs at the player.
-Skeletons respawn 10 seconds after being destroyed.
-Hardcore death penalty now uninstalls the game instead of losing all skills and equipment.
Under normal circumstances, this would be report-worthy
- Easy mode sends messages to all your Steam friends calling you a poor excuse for a viking
For sure not bad, just not amazing when compared to versatility and dps of bow
ok i think it is decent
Yeah. Arbalest is great for high damage sneak shots to start a fight, maybe a couple shots, but you generally don't want to "main" it like many people do a bow
It's also much better against flying enemies like gjalls (you know, arguably the most dangerous mistlands enemy)
Ok buddy
It's not terrible advice to make sure it's clear it's a joke and not real 😉 Too many people come in here all pissy because they misunderstood something or assumed something that wasn't true
i think with hyper exaggerated figures its plain obvious its a joke, people who take it seriously and get pedantic shouldn't be on the internet in the first place
Now if I could just get a huntsmanarbalest my life would be complete
That's just the fire staff. If you miss, nothing notices 😛
But I want it to be silent when I hit
Also fire staff doesn’t get sneak attack damage
A quarter of the server wouldn't be here.
Or more than half of the people that recently join
could ballistas be good for hare farming if u set them to hares only?
Prob not, their aim sucks against small targets
Better bet would be setting up the wooden spikes all around the place to have them run into. Pretty effective
tru spikes are pretty good
Bear traps as well
I just hate how expensive bear traps are
she is hot on ur tails 🗣️ 🗣️
i own an arbalest for home defense
brenna trophy is better as a light source than surtling trophy
Not as good as a trusty ole’ sconce 🤌
Dvergr circlet is nice because you can put it on wall mounts or on armor stands, get different light directions. I have one hidden that's lighting up a corner of my base that's otherwise gloomy.
you scared the shit out of me, than saw the last line and that its you who posted it and all was clear, good one 😄
Ngl 100% faster wolves would be interesting. 20% doesn’t feel like much of a change to me
One of the fastest, most dangerous enemies in the game at the time you encounter them, and you want them faster?
Sure, it would make them harder to fight… but imagine having them on your side lol
he is still drunk from the easter 😄
What? You're telling me that Nigerian prince himself didn't take time to send me email asking me to give him money so he can give me money?
Ъ
c
whats the mod that lets you farm like a 5x5 slot at a time
Can someone help please? We have a dedicated server running. How do we change the difficulty (world modifiers) without starting all over?
That's a good question for #dedicated-server , but you generally add some command-line options to the startup, or you can download the world and change the settings locally and re-upload it to your server.
Found a random 2 star boar, wasn't specifically looking for one. Now it's secured with walls of terrain for one day I start a boar farm
Day 468 and the boar still waits
I'll probably make a farm a bit sooner than that, sausages are just so easy food to mass produce. Think sausage will continue being a base food for me even in mistlands
Sausage is a little weak for mistlands imo, unless you're running root harnesk but even then
in safety of base
True, I'd use seeker meat over it though
I still use them depending on what I am doing in the mistlands. If I a farming or Just exploring. As long has you can run away(bring stamina mead). I save the stronger foods for mines and dvergr outpost. Also they come in handy if you are at your home base just doing normal stuff
holy shit is this normal? 3 krakens in same spot
leviathans... or whatever they're called
no that rare i would say but not that common either, quite a nice find imo 😄
and yeah leviathans 😉
wait there's probably more than just 3 😂
I had already marked 2 in the map earlier, looks like it's 4 or 5
i once found 5
They just don't have much use. You mine those and you should be set for the rest of the game
don't have room for their stuff though, full haul of iron coming through
even had to leave most of my food and gear to make enough room for all of it... ship is full and personal inventory as well
praying to smiffe for tailwind works again, this is 3rd time already
May the sky be clear and sands warm
Just mark them on map and come back later
Valheim is for me is just “yeah, I could fight the boss, but there’s a lot of new build pieces, too busy building stuff”
Valheim for me is "Gotta beat the next boss so I can get access to even more build pieces" 😛
And with the dungeon bug in the latest PTB it's "fart around and build stuff because you'll ruin your dungeons otherwise"
It’s such a nice feeling coming across your first base and all the memories come back. “This is where a neck almost killed me and my honor would’ve been compromised”
guys, I think I am addictedd to valheim. I havee flu, feeling like a cr*p and aftter 1 hour of sleeping with meds, I am sstill launching game, instead of goinng to rest again 😄
welcome to the club 😄
I somehow persuade myself that resting in bed is same as resting in chair with game 😄
I do the same!
I need to load some more of my old worlds. Biggest thing I really need to do is get better about leaving map tables in the bases near the center stones, and actually updating them with explored area so I can come back with another character.
That’s smart, never thought about that. I just recently this year overcame a battle within myself- I used to always just make new maps and characters (in any game) and finally told myself I need to finish what I start lol
Why do you need to come back with other characters?
I make new characters for clean playthroughs that end up becoming more of my "main", and I have a lot more worlds than I do characters.
i also do that XD
yeah, I hope it will not backfire, I need to be readyd for work at wednesday haha 😄
I don't see it as bad playing games when you're sick. Unless you're sick with a fatal illness that will claim you in a few days, you don't really need to stay in bed all day
As long as you're not foregoing sleep you would otherwise get 😉 If you'd be awake in bed, may as well play a game. If you need sleep, sleep.
What works for me in case of just a regular old fever is taking a 2 hour nap and wake up feeling much better.
I usually do try to just play video games or something to distract, but usually feeling like shit don't really feel like doing anything after a little while 😂
yeah, I feel already pain in every bone from sleeping haha. I feel like playing is helping me feel better, but if I quit game, I feel like crap again 😄
so I guess 24 hours valheim time
Already found a vegvisir for yagluth... At this rate I have a feeling I'll probably find his altar before bonemass or Moder
Wonder if fenris gear would be sufficient for the fire resist
root armor or iron armor. Which one do you guys go for?
Fenris is fine for the fire resist as long as you don't tank too many hits 😉
Roots. Only iron helm is ok
heh I found him before Bmass and Moder on my world too
Root. Iron is very expensive, and it's used for so, so many other things that I find it's much more efficient to use it for tools and weapons instead of armor.
personally? I tend to go troll legs, root chest, iron helmet
the set bonus isnt that good for root?
It's good.. +15 bow skill is definitely nice but it isn't really necessary, depends on your playstyle. If you can get more armor / movespeed, it's better for melee imo
its pretty good, but I can't be bothered to hunt down enough abominations to make and upgrade root set
Also haven't been using bows lately
its 1 abominations per swamp biome right? if i read the wiki correctly
It'll respawn again after a while
Nope. Abominations can respawn in valid swamp areas, so you just go back and forth. They're like trolls in the forest.
1 per zone (64x64m) at the time (or is it active zones? 3x3 zones if so). "A biome" is not a relevant area measurement as they come in all sizes and shapes.
Simply put - if there's an abomination alive another one won't spawn very close to it.
bruh the egg is in the fire
To add to your point, +15 skill in the late game are just bad because once you hit 100 there isn't a 115 your still at 100.
its too cold
True, but +15 skill around 50-80 feels like a massive boost
ya, that being said I love the root armor
Draw speed go brrr
I just hope we don't see any +15 skill gear in Ashlands.
creature limit is for all loaded zones (5x5)
i just learned this yesterday after failing at my anglerfish pond
Unless it's crossbows or magic, since that unlocks in the mistlands anyway
what does 64x64 look like on the map
16 big stone blocks
16 core wood poles
i love how effectively seekers are just living tanks
Well, a standard foor piece is 2x2... but because of the creature limits, you get better results going back and forth and murdering everything and hoping one of the spawns is an abomination 😉
About the same as 64x64 metres in real life, our characters are human sized. :p
as a short person I do not agree to this
tbh abominations seem to spawn when you dont want them
+15 just seems boring and if you ever level your skills you will wish it was something else.
i know its first april, but this joke is bad even for that
It's a very nice bonus for the level you'll generally be at at that level, tbh.
I just recently got 100 on bow
If they made it so 115 was possible even with diminishing returns It would be ok.
still boring though
I do think it would be cool if skills could go above 100 with armor, but good god bow skill needs to be nerfed like hell before that happens
eh 100 kinda already broken, at the my lvl I just fight melee with bow as well
for bow atleast
I mean, I've played over 600hrs and never hit 100 skill on anything
not even run?
Same, I’m pretty close, but not quite 100
I had run at 100 since forever ngl
Run is my first skill to 100, 90% of the time
Getting to 100 in anything isn't "intended" as you won't get there with normal play in a "standard" play through and there's no real point in getting to it.
Yea I got 640 hours and only just recently got one skill to 100 and another to lvl 99
I think for people who stick to one world / character for a while its a bit easier tho. Probably more likely to happen once there's more content (Ashlands and DN)
I’ve never trained a skill, but my run skill is still high 80s.
Yes, but I played Runescape. There are times I will stop all progression just to grind a skill, because I'm sick in the head.
Yeh but that's on you and not something the game should cater to. :p
Nope. Highest I've ever got was 90. I'm pretty careless sometimes so I die semi often
Pretty sure it's a genuine mental illness at this point
I trained bow ngl and it was worth it but otherwise training other skills is just too slow to be worth it
hardcore mode has helped me train my skills high, along with other settings extending the gameplay time in one world (aka, the grindiness)
only gripe i have is they dont have a ghost mode when you die
With bow skill 70 (or something near that) you can fully charge a shot in one dodgeroll
I’ll probably get around to training some skills after I beat the queen, ||gotta get my axe skill up for those double axes in Ashlands||
I trained block skill but got so bored doing it
enemies shouldnt be able to see you when retrieving items in my opinion
especially when they sit on your stuff
But then making the player drop items on death wouldn't do much unless it's in mountains
That's why you get corpse run. It's like eikthyr on steroids
that seems silly to me. Whats the point in not dying if you can just retrieve your gear for free?
yeah but if a rogue deathsquito popped out of a plains you have gone by it can be an issue
Roll into it
they tend to linger around your items and they arent very forgiving lol
Gotta have backup gear, or at least a plan in place for dying
It's all part of the challenge.. You get like what, 5mins of no skill drain? I'll zerg rush that tombstone til I get it.
Never go too far from a portal (unless you just sailed)
a rogue deathsquito that popped out of a plains isn't going to be sitting on your body
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail
the plains ing eneral all around is bad to die in
so bring backup gear to fight them, or run in, grab your gear, run out. Either skill or preparation make corpse runs doable
what happens if you lose the backup gear
Falling off a mountain is the worst way to die Imo
You can always just lower the death penalty so you keep your main gear tho
Use another set of backup gear
Or lower difficulty, if you're frustrated that you keep dying
i dont
Turn on "passive enemies"
Don't die in the middle of a lava field
Ez mode retrieval
if im dying continually in a area i will just use devcommands i dont really enjoy wasting my time
if the game wont let me retrieve my gear
plains is one of the easier biomes to die in, imo
i give it quite a few attempts normally before then tho thats only in bad cases
If you don't want to waste time you're also able to spawn in mistlands gear and resources so you're stronger and don't need to go mine anything
Is lava death confirmed unretrievable?
Can you change the settings and change them back after you recover your stuff? I've never done it but did wonder about upping the difficulty but didn't want to start a new game and/or break the one I'm currently playing.
those assassin skeeters man
like dying in the middle of a fuling camp
I love ooze bomb so much
which is pretty funny when it happened
Yes, you can change them whenever you want
If you died smack-dab in the middle of a fuling camp, you fked up pretty hard even being there
Plains were more difficult back in the day before root harnesk
Actually overpowered weapon in the game not by a long shot
nah i could handle them
clearly 
its that there were a lot of shamans that i didnt notice
So then... you couldn't handle them
Just don’t do it again
not great idea to be in the middle of a camp. Even if you're fighting most of them in melee at the same time, still better to move away from the camp to ensure you can get your stuff back if you die
fair
i do find it rubbish when enemies camp your items tho
idk i just dont find it fun i guess
Just lure them away
i used to play ark a lot so probably just ptsd from that lol
Too many surprises you're inviting upon yourself when you're running into the middle of a camp, unless you've thoroughly scouted the area but even if you have, mistakes happen, ups get fucked, and then you're trying to grab your gear surrounded by annoying enemies for no reason lol
tbh i dont find fulings that bothersome more than not its the random deathsquito mid combat
I get a lot of success just doing a driveby and grabbing my stuff, then running out. It's just one click to grab the tombstone, and mobs can't keep up with you when you're sprinting (other than deathsquitos or such)
I would classify deathsquitos as annoying enemies 
its almost like they copy and pasted mosquitos from irl and amplified everything bad about them
when you get ambushed by a deathsquito and when you start fighting it a 2nd deathsquito ambushes you out of nowhere 😂
Deathsquitos are anonying but with ok armor and root chest they barely tickle you
deathsquitos still remained one of the most annoying things to fight, right next to bat
"what if we made mosquitos, but like they're really annoying, strong and everywhere you don't want them to be"
"brilliant"
"what if we call them... DEATH squittos?"
"brilliant"
Other day I got ambushed by 3 squitos, a 2 star fuling, and a 0 star fuling all at the same time on very hard hardcore. Almost didn't make it out of there bc they came outta nowhere in a surprise attack
after all bats is just discounted deathsquito, which still means it is as annoying as deathsquito
at least on normal they're not dangerous... just annoying nibbling your toes. Still can't ignore them tho
inb4 they decide to add wasps to the game
Root Harnesk the goat(23)
or bees are angy, appease of perish
that would be terrifying
imagine having a massive bee farm and all of them go angy
The finaly boss of the entire game is 100% going to be a giant Bee
its going to be every annoying enemy merged into one
Donkey Kong vibes
draugr archer riding deathsquito
first phase: you fight the swarm, 2nd phase, you fight the queen, 3rd phase you fight both
Final boss summons all other bosses in the game to aid it
Or if the final boss summons other vikings from beyond the realms to fight you
final boss summons you to fight yourself
Gotta name it "No, you"
Wasn't a hard fight in Elden Ring... the AI was stupid AF and kept using the most useless spells I had instead of the combat spells 😂
We aren't going to see games with smart enough AI to make a fight like that probably for quite some time
Dins fire says hi
chickens like killing themselves apparently
couldnt wait to immediatly jump in fire on birth lol
yep yep, gotta make the place child safe
yup
their self preservation instinct is as weak as human babies, stupid creatures need to be kept safe from themselves 😂
I kinda want to fight yag so I can get eggs... But i really don't want to enable what's up gjall
Snag some from a sealed tower maybe?
its weaker
they actively want to die on birth thats impressive intuition
considering they are gonna die anyways so they just off themselves immediatly
Haldor tweet is hilarious, I wonder what percentage of players actually ever find Haldor and what the average time to encounter him is for a first-time playthrough
I think that event only happens in mistlands, you got a mistlands base?
Some historical stats on the waiting for customers game mechanic definitely needed 🤣
my plan is to kill it in another world and bring the eggs to main world
I like this, you can clip through and get some withouth having to fight the duo
how long do you think till we get the deep north
Haldor update comes first
my bets 2026
I'd say maybe 1.5-3 years. Who knows tho
is the deep north meant to be where the final boss is gonna be or i assume they have a plan for an actual final boss
DN will have final boss
We don't know.
coz i always assumed ashlands and dn were about equal
DN will have a boss but we don't know if it's going to be the final one or if the final one will be something else.
I thought they confirmed that DN would be the end of the game or last boss or so. May be wrong tho
so you complete both then you gain a item to open where the final boss is or some thing like that
9 bosses was said to be the intention early on but whether that's still the case is unknown (possibly also by the devs).
It's been said that after dn, they might touch up oceans with new stuff, then probably one more update after and that's it
like getting half a key from ashlands then half a key from dn then you combine them but meh its hard to tell what route they may go
That's not based on anything said by the devs, just random speculation and what some people have suggested could be a good idea.
i feel the devs could listen to people
Ah so it does. That's a relief. Seekers won't raid meadow or mountain either. Good to know
They raid deep north though...
I’ve personally never read anything that suggested a final “boss” but they tend to post updates about biomes and every biome tends to have a boss at the end.. so I guess yeah they’d be the final one unless they do something that I’ve never seen discussed and unlock a new ultimate boss after bringing the trophy to the altar
Deep Noeth is going to exciting. Very far away though lol but it’s fun to think about.
They do
pretty consistently, they do
wasnt saying they dont
Oh boy
if they expect people to go from Ashlands to Deep North they really need to think of something to make traveling that distance fun
The last I can recall seeing about bosses other than the obvious one boss per progression biome is dvoid saying it "remains to be seen" whether the ocean will have a boss, but that's more than two years ago.
people are probably gonna have portals to go back to the middle again but still
On the back of fire-breathing dragon of course! ||kidding||
bet the ashlands boss is a fire giant
It's not exactly too late to make DN the same tier as ashlands and you can choose whether you go to either biome in order to progress to the end
IG has been fantastic in offering clear communication and listening to ideas, though they make no bones about whether they think an idea is good or bad 
I saw that @merry pebble 😂
Very hopefully not
boss stone drawing resembles fire yeah
Same
feels too predictable to me
Good thing the teased boss stone made it seem like it's not a giant
im only gouessing from the surtlings
I'm guessing Asatru's post wasn't meant for here. :p
yeah sorry, i tried typing in one game and was on other monitor aparently 😅
Show me the stone
Surtlings might get totally wiped from ashlands
and what i know about norse mythology theres only one fire giant normally but valheim can twist that coz its a made up realm
But it did fit into the convo quite nicely. :p
you mean like a frost dragon? or a big deer? 
Which only spawn in a non-surtling-friendly biome
ashlands clearly is meant to resemble muspelheim somewhat atleast thats what i get from it
I hope it's another dragon
It was teased at the end of the latest walk and talk 😉
and deep north niflheim
Ffs you guys made me reply to the wrong msg...
other monitors? 👀
Ah, I didn’t watch, only listened
skill issue
Zoinks! I don’t even recall them taking about it
Surtling-free monitors
Last walk&talk vid
for shame!
salad takes 3 onions, 3 jotun puff and 3 cloudberries?
man i imagine the salad will be so pungent it will melt the face of anyone eating it
It appeared half of the stone from the front
3 whole raw onions, that is crazy
Seems very monstrous and certainly not humanoid
Might want to keep stuff like that spoilered.
onion gud
Probably a fire jellyfish and you fight its tentacles
Not everyone watched the videos, some people like to be shown stuff in-game as they explore it.
sounds like surtr to me or atleast a i guess new fire giant they made
one for each salad, which is pretty reasonable
just dont kiss anyone after eating such salad and you ll be fine 🙂
surtr himself is literally the only fire giant in mythology normally so making one for valheim would be nice
He's also explicitly dead in valheim lore
yeah
I like to think onion soup/salad gives you an edge in combat whilst fighting, you can just breathe on them for poison damage...
The fact you see surtlings is further proof
if i had to guess its either what remains of surtr or its a new fire giant
it's just gonna be a surtlet, a portal that summons big hordes of surtlings
lol
Surtlings are the remains of surtr
well more like scattered, but yeah efectively dead 😄
Also, aren't the bosses in Valheim canonically enemies Odin defeated and banished to the realm? Or am I misremembering?
So already there
so what would happen if the remains of surtr tried to re merge
Yes
thats what i guess the boss might be
they probably would fail
So, even though it would be a bit on-the-nose, it's still technically possible for us to fight Surtr as the ashlands boss from a lore perspective?
What would happen is me telling you to manage your own expectations
I see a surtr-like enemy as a mini boss. But not the boss
Could be a cat but cats are usually more coherent.
and a fair bit more violent
And more fluffy.
lol giant lava golem
Huh I didn't realize the boss stone teaser. They only show like 1/3 of it but it looks to be on fire maybe? Like a lava blob elemental... Bonemass 2 fiery boogaloo
I believe he's trying to communicate but I'm not sure what
Is anyone here fluent in toddler? I've no children so I'm not practiced enough
ok so lookinga t the boss stone im just gonna say
not fluent but I can usually understand/get points across
That's zoomer speak
I really hope it's not fire bonemass
thats a head with pointy ears at the side and fire on the head
was it in the last walk and talk?
Yea ep 3
tho if you look part of the fire on the head looks like curled horns
so part of the fire is horns most likely
gonna go rewatch it since i didnt notice it the first time XD
has no face tho
I kinda wanted a humanoid boss that's around the same size as the character, and it would've been lore-accurate considering the main enemies but that boss stone pretty much shattered that hope
It's around the 11:30 mark. Very briefly shown as they scroll by the other boss stones
its deifnietly a head tho
But that would be an indirect nerf to bows, can't have that 
a big head too imagine its literally just a giant floating flaming head
Other bosses are full bodied on the stone
Not yag. I actually just checked bc I had that same doubt
or a giant flaming ball that tries to roll you over
Yag is just a head? Come to think of it... What else is there to it
1/3 of his remaining body is the head
Hmm then maybe it is just a head....of a fire cat
in person hes literally just straight up a bisected torso
Really trying to repress the inappropriate remarks
Also, not everyone would've expected to get kicked around and burned by a half skeleton. Putting it in the boss stone might have been a spoiler
bet its a giant flaming skeleton
If yag had the full body, he would be the closest to a humanoid giant
if yag had his full body he would be unbeatable
Has the attacks of elder and his own magic
i always assumed he was probably muscular like the berserkers
you just cant tell coz its all bone now
He would 100% fold us if he were whole, and not undead
I bet he was a big fat goblin king
lol
Yagluth just sounds like a fatty
Nah, his body was the size of a normal fuling, just with an overgrown head.
Full body yag
Chibi yag
i only talk about knock off seeker soldiers
i got catapulted once by one
lol
Mistlands has a lot of uneven terrain so just try to have it knock you into a cliff face or small hill to reduce knock back
i mean it could be head,there seems to be outline going downwards basically into the ground that could be neck 🤔
i swear the devs need to develop Stinger MANPADS to counteract Gjall or sth
i want them all to explode, gone, turn into, uh orange mist
i would have written pink mist but i remember gjall dont have red blood
The eggs will go everywhere and the world will be full of ticks
Did ya watch the walk n talk? Any guesses what it could be?
yes
well the "flamey" bits could actually be some sort of fiery appendages (that is if that would be full body on the stone)
it locks on enemy air units and just shoot until they die
Why not lock onto anything?
because it is anti air ,not anti everything
Hmm perhaps a LAVAithan sea monster
So you want a weapon that only does anything to a very small amount of enemies in the game?
yes, i am that petty
Mass seagulls slaughter
it can also be used to fight against Moder or Drake but they are easy enough
Yea would work against im guessing like 7 types of enemies once Ashland comes out. Not a lot but enough to commit slaughter of several species
it is hard that i have to fight 2 mini-tank units in Mistlands, one is fat airborne creature, the other is tanky buggy creature
Holy cow. I just found my biggest Fuling camp. 3 Shamans, 1 Beserker, like 20 regular and 1 star. Took a while to clear it out and it got dicey a few times. They just kept coming
thats not so bad 😄
When you roll up on a camp with a 2 star and 1 star berserker it sure takes a while
when you roll up on a camp with your bugahtti, it sure takes a while
2* berserkers take forever... Thankfully they aren't too hard to kite
Once you get the mistlands shieldy shield shield they get a lot easier because you can just parry and then eradicate them
I have only seen 1 one star beserker. They are kinda slow. Still it was a big camp lol. I had just died from some growths a ways off. I hate those things
Make people spend more money on a game?
you can say every chests you find in game is a form of free lootboxes, you dont know what is inside and the loots varies
sometimes you hit jackpot and hit a crypt with truckload of chest with iron scraps, sometimes you get the short end of the stick and get..... Ancient bark
Basically yea, but I do have to remind that it's those corpos that chose that word on purpose specifically because it sounds harmless
another such attempt was "surprise mehcanics"
Well I didn't expect to have to pay for that.
N̶o̶b̶o̶d̶y̶ e̶x̶p̶e̶c̶t̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ S̶p̶a̶n̶ish i̶n̶q̶u̶i̶s̶i̶t̶i̶o̶n̶
bro its so bizarre that the getting hit sound actually sounds like it fits
the weird tape rip sound, its pretty visceral and alarming so it works
thwack
like no goofy "oof" or "ouch" or something equally unfitting? xD
l0l its just weird like not a gore sound at all that i would find in any other game, im just practicing sound design and i thought of how cool a sound it is
Makes sense
We're warriors, not some game journalists on picnic
Feel like a Viking irl would get slashed and be like hmm, alright
Tis but a scratch
on some "thanks i couldnt reach that"
yoo that logo def had more to it isnt roger rabbit sposed to be back there w a carrot
or the pig from looney toons
Do you mean Bugs Bunny?
are they not the same? Who framed Roger Rabbit?
maybe i need to watch that one again its been a while
top one is bugs bunny. bottom one is Roger Rabbit 🙂
i appreciate it
I had the scariest trip in the mistlands as my first trip few days ago, goooooosh, phew. Almost lost all my gear, but managed to recover, although lost all boats. Never go there again until I will need to :D (god, gjalls are scary with the ticks)
i havent even made it past swamp homie
one is warner bros, the other is disney 😉
It's definitely not meant to be easy but it's good you're still enjoying it.
LMAO i had to get help bc i was stuck on the first boss but now im chillin fr
sounds spooky
I'm too :D I just thought advice about there being an alternative source of iron in the mistlands is true until it wasn't because it requires black metal and I'm doing bossless thing as my first run :3 But! I managed to clear out the outpost which for whatever reason immideately invited insects (or allowed them to go past the mist freely? I swear it was a peaceful area before I started scrapping that dwarf tower - and I didn't touched the light thingies!)
VERY
i am still struggling with not getting jumped every time i step foot into the swamp, just recently got iron back to my base after a literal hour and a half and i was so excited cause i can make a longboat
I will now soon proceed to farm a chest full of stinkbombs to raid the mountains :D
you got this
I wasn't able to mine iron from the swamps because it's either too deep as it seems (stag shows 0s but I fall into the water trying to deeg to that 0s) or there isn't anything at all
Or buried stones
Honestly, the scrap piles outside of crypts really aren't worth the hassle.
So after flattening whole bonemass island I thought "Naaaah, screw this" and now decided to go search ice dungeons I heard about (but knowing that wolves are scary, I will now stack inhuman amout of bombs to commit warcrimes against mountain's nature)
Eh, I hope farming doors in the ice dungeons will be enough when I will find them (never yet saw anytning like that in the game, so yeah)
At least for metal pickaxe
Its good for smaller swamps if you cant be assed chasing crypts. So just mine what you get and keep on keeping on. Smaller swamps = less spawns = less hassles
crypts are great for mining iron though. In few hours filled a longboat with it
Assuming there's enough crypts in that swamp. So far gone to the same swamp twice and filled a longboat both times... there's probably enough for 1 more trip
why dont lox fight the fulings :/
seriously... I was being chased by a horde of them, and ran to the lox for help... they just joined in the chase against me
It would have been better for me to run towards greydwarfs.
I still will remain pure from killing bosses! At least for now until the quenn :D
Both being in the same faction, you gotta tame them first
Actually nice, but I actually yet to discover a secret iron pile. The smaller the swamp area the easier to find the secret iron, right?
You are running around with the wishbone equipped, yes?
I'm running around with a stagbreaker and hoe check, bossless, first run :D
XD well itd be much quicker with the wishbone, if you had it. It pings same as for silver in the mountains. Otherwise yeah you're stuck with crypts until you've 86'd bonemass
I first flatten it until it's basically all lightly submerged underwater and then start methodically smacking the ground in search of 0s
Or doing that XD
I decided not to use crypt stool cheese too :D
Yeah, I like to suffer
Basically I want to test how far can I go without killing any bosses
Your commitment to self torture is impressive
pretty much stopped at mountains then since you need the moders dropps
if not for Moder I think I'd enjoy a bossless run. I just don't like how much stuff she locks out
which i dont mind
I mean, I basically thought "this game really just tells me to kill those beings AND obviously comfortably gives things after it to casually proceed to the next area, wanting me to comply? Don't think so! :D"
Pretty new to the game and I’m loving alll of it so far. I’ve unlocked stone masonry and iron tools, I’m seeing in the #building-screenshots channel people with like braided wooden trim on their builds. When/how do I unlock that?
What's the end game of a bossless run? 🤔
I actually managed to easily find the solution to the plains (except growth), but now I'm stuck in that weird situation where I have a ton of black metal scrap, loxes meat, berries, barley and literally almost none of iron (it only dropped from oozers)
Plains. If you're in swamp right now, you still need to go through mountains before going to Plains progression
And the game is actually easy so far if you run altgeir and bow combo with the exception of insects in the mist (too tanky, maneuverable and gjalls...)
Plus it's really satisfying to play as sniper
I still cant find swamps, I found mountains on both sides of my islands, but cant find swamps at all. I guess it will be somewhere far in the sea
Just keep swimming
what world seed?
https://valheim-map.world
use this to find what you need
ctJnzzJJ6r, not sure if I should write it here :D, that website is not loading for me
Or just keep sailing
according to the map, you have meadows, dark forest, mountains, and swamp on the spawn island
thanks! it seems like I need to start use portals, its so far away
Not just that but even bonemass
easy map
I didnt expect to be that big from 700mb game lol
the save files take up more space than the base game lol
I dont get it at all, how is that even possible. Its because is working partially ,,online,, with servers or?
Magicks
The map is calculated based on the seed
which part?
I mean the ssize of the game and size of the world. Is that geneerating thing if youre only nearby?
small size of game (700+ mb) and that big world
Also keep in mind Minecraft, one of the largest if not the largest potential world in any game ever, is also only 1 gb.
I didnt play minecraft, so I have no clue haha
the save files save the current state of the world (except hostile mob position), the seed is case sensitive so there's trillions of combinations, and the graphics are low-poly
The assets are all reused, so there's just lines of code for how to determine things within the set boundaries.
low poly graphics helps a lot
I see. should I set password to server now, when I posted it here?
low-poly being the key in this particular situation.
^
Other games have ‘infinite’ procedurally generated worlds that would be the same size. The only limit is how far out you can go before the worldgen breaks/the game crashes
it doesn't work like that, so no, don't worry
The save files are what you've changed to the world only irrc
yeah, a lot like minecraft in that regard
ok, thanks 🙂
And the low-res textures
it's basically one big math equation, and the solution is the world you get
Minecraft has a 'finite' world size, but that world size is so big it would, iirc, take you 20 years to cross it irl time
The seed for my no map / portal playthrough has been great. Aside from finding bonemass / moder. I've been lucky to have lots of found lots of frost caves, turnips, both haldor and hildir all relatively close to the altar
i wish i used the map on my first run. I didn't and died to a death skeeto from sailing too close to plains
so i just made a new char
tbh, it's more enjoyable this way. Not knowing what is coming is like 40% of the enjoyment, for me
I was gonna do no map no portals, but mistlands
But everyone is different, everyone enjoys the game in different ways and especially now with the introduction to world modifiers we've seen an influx of players with a wildly differentiating array of preference.
Yea the wonder and surprises are really fun. Don't know if I'd go back. Though I'm considering enabling a single portal to altar... Haven't decided yet
my second world
#screenshots message
Have you heard about our lord and savior, roads?
i have so much on the starter island
I have nothing on the starter island. Too far away from mistlands, plains, and ashlands
If it’s small enough to turn into a fortress, it’s too far away from other biomes to be a good location.
Unless you don’t mind spending almost your entire playthrough turning a large island into a single fortress
When does a fortress need to be small?
time, s o m u c h t i m e
When you deign it to be so
When build cost is on
Hmmm it's worth keeping it small for own convenience. Personally I don't like to put too much space between different workbenches and refiners so when I come back tk my base I can quickly refine ores and make stuff
You are the authority in your playthrough. Do you wish for an expansive fortress? it shall be so.
Do you wish for a diminutive fortress? it shall be so.
The world is your oyster, and you have sole governance over any and all decisions; you are law.
Play how you want to play. Everything can be adjusted
that makes no sense to me. Why do you need a small island to make a fortress?
Big fortress is cool too and allows for more aesthetics
And single-digit fps if you go too far 
Yes that too xD
But generally whatever You prefer. I like compact base some ppl like big crazy builds and all of this is perfectly fine
I like having a base within reasonable sailing distance of as many unique biomes as possible. A small starter island wouldn’t be close enough to these biomes because it is in the centre of the world.
You don't need to build Fort Drum
ah I c. Yea I just generally hate making bases on starter island because its usually just easier to go sailing and explore for a good base location near swamp and mountain, later on plains mistlands and ashlands
I’m less of a fortress player and more of a cozy home with a farmhouse player. I spawn-proof a rather large area, and I currently have my main house (includes forge and workbench), farmhouse, Dvergr/Eitr workshop, exterior portal hub, and hopefully soon a watchtower. All of it will be enclosed in a wall… eventually lol. Need to build a dock as well.
I got pathways all over the place. If I get really far from the altar and a friend wants to join me though, I'd like to have an easier way to meet up rather than spending the first 30mins just trying to find eachother
A lso try to avoid big fortress cause I play solo and if I go too big with the base it just feels so empty
I like having all my stuff nearby for efficiency so I cram as much stuff into a room as I can while still bein able to walk through it
I don’t spawnproof too far because I like fighting bands of fulings or seekers when they raid me
Ballistas make short work of berserkers
average egg collecting experience: "Hen loves you"
What is the eitr refiner doing shooting something out, damaging my stonewall and windmill nearby
Yep, it fires off dangerous projectiles while it’s refining, as does the finished product. Black marble and iron cages are immune to this damage, so you can put a refinery in a structure made of those materials to keep it safe.
#building-screenshots message here’s my example, my refinery here does no damage to the structure.
I keep my eitr refinery and my extra chickens in the same room
When yr own equipment destroys the base:
What kind of weapons to make from black forge i wonder
There are so many yet the resources are always limited
ALL of them 🤌
Soft tissue is really the only limiter imo
And they're pretty easy to extract, just a bit annoying to traverse mistlands to find them
So much carapace lol
That means everyting minus spear and knives then
I will upgrade arbalest to max, craft hundreds of bone bolt and free roam the plains
I want all the black metal to make best chest in game
Also it doesnt hurt stockpiling more black metals i guess
Seeker meat is worse
Arbalest is cool, but it's not great for players who like to stay mobile imo
Wish we could feed seeker meat to hens lol
Arbalest is strong when using it to reconquer plains and below biomes, but in mistlands… not so much
Because the terrains are so weird and the vision is limited even with the wisplight, its superior long range hitscan is just thrown out of the window
Feed seeker meat for all your tames! Give them a taste for it to actively hunt seekers. For more carapace and meat...
Wish we could feed softsnail to hens lol
Trying to collect eggs when hen is sitting on it: hen loves u
softsnail?
Till your computer crashes
please dont feed other users to animals XD
lol

Curious, what weapons do y’all use in a 1v1 (no Dwarven aid) against a Gjall? I use the huntsman’s bow, but I’m wondering if it’s a little dated at this point. I tried using my staff of embers, but I didn’t seem super efficient.
you dont have draugrs fang and spinesnap?
Any female players looking to join a vanilla play through?
you can ask in #1024264966712340510 😄
I have already posted there but we are very out numbered 20 men to 2 women 😅 would be nice to have a few more women join
Nope, I don’t like how Draugr Fang glows 😅 was thinking of making the spinesap soon though.
well it glows too, but red 😄
Arbalest opener into bow spam, worth noting if you're stealthy and hit the weakpoint you can one shot the gjall with arbalest
Haha yeah, but I think I just can’t ignore the damage difference anymore lol I’ll give it a try!
well you are using bow from 3 biomes lower XD
Usually not a fan of crossbows, but it’s worth a shot! Just goofing around at this point anyways.
The huntsman’s bow just looks so good!
oh thats for sure 😄
Might try the ice staff!
Def give em them a shot, got a clip of me one shotting a gjall, it's far too satisfying to ignore
Ice staff probably won't be very good, the spray is to your disadvantage and can't take advantage of the weak point
you might actually equip the troll set for the extra sneak if you are confident in your skills XD
Nope, not quite that confident LOL
On a side note, even though it doesn’t seem like a super OP weapon or anything, I want to try out the Jotun Bane.
oh sure 😄 its a nice axe
Do staffs have secondary attacks?
nope
I see
i am not crazy, but why when i put 20 sap and 20 soft tissue, it only uses 19 sap?
did i actually put 19 soft tissue and get that much?
it uses 19,9 or something like that, try to put another soft tissue in and the 1 sap that still shows will be gone almost immediately
Did you know? The glow from the draugr fang actually counts as a light source, and thus makes it easier for enemies to see you

Realism? In my videogame!? 
does blocking damage from heavy hitting enemies give you more xp?
No. Xp from everything is just based on how much you do it, not how well.
As mack says, block gives xp per attack blocked (but it does give more for a parry, I think 50% more)
So blocking damage from a neck will give the same amount of xp from blocking a trolls swing?
guys, important question: spinesnap or draugr fang
Spinesnap, although technically the right answer is Huntsman
Also, I got clowned 🤡
i spent a good amount of time opening those boxes too 💀
what's the parry button?
you just block right before attack lands
Halidor's Hope looks lit. Can't wait for it's release
you may feel like its going forever tho 😄
is that a new merchant?
I might need to grab another pc so I can play a Haldor playthrough on two worlds at once for twice the profits
Better: Play haldor in one and his client in another in the same world
You're a bloody genius
invents trading
i would say get a ship so you can get way more iron with it 😄
i'm using 2 worlds, one for the iron and one to smith so I don't have to run through the swamp 80 times
just enable metal through portals at that point XD
