valheim-chat

[half dragon]

So yea not great idea to advertise that

[toxic rose]

Could we consider steam refund as a demo version?

[lusty crescent]

Smart

[half dragon]

it basically, but doesn't work with all games 😂

[azure yacht]

This kind of games needs a lot more than just two hours to make up your mind about it

[regal spoke]

$20 is a steal at full price. I've got 1100 hours and would gladly pay $60.

Imagine coming to the devs discord asking for a cracked version.

[half dragon]

like games with good chara creators. can easily spend 2 hours just editing chara lol

[lusty crescent]

Bro is curious

[regal spoke]

Bro is stupid

[lusty crescent]

Nah

[regal spoke]

You part of the problem

[lusty crescent]

Okay maybe a lil

[lusty crescent]

😭

[azure yacht]

The question was probably more related to asking for help.

They never explicitly request for such a copy

[azure yacht]

Also, don't need to be blatantly rude to others to the point of explicitly insulting them

[lusty crescent]

He needed mod help on his cracked version lmao

[azure yacht]

Either way once a mod/helper finds this discussion there will be purge so eh.

Moving on

[regal spoke]

Bad things continue when good men refuse to make a stand. It's not rude it's honest.

[half dragon]

You're not standing for anybody... surely nobody asked you to be an ass for them

[lusty crescent]

Hit this man with a "true..."

[quartz plank]

dont mind my message getting deleted, just telling the game is great tbh

[regal spoke]

I'm being an ass for keeping it real? Aight

[half dragon]

An ass for throwing around insults for no reason...

[near furnace]

🤔

[lusty crescent]

As my mama said stupid is a strong word, no fixing that
😔

Double edit don't mind me

[regal spoke]

"Anyone playing a cracked version? Dm me" ;-smoky

That's not cool and y'all defending the behavior

[half dragon]

Nobody is. There's no need to attack anybody like it's a righteous crusade either

[lusty crescent]

What does that truly mean anyway
What makes a version of valheim cracked

[near furnace]

filled with non-pashion and probably will steal your logins to alot of websites and / or discord

[uncut bough]

it is just valheim but with crack

1 sniff and your stamina bar is never going to deplete

[half dragon]

In this day and age when buying the real version both safer and more convenient, not really that great idea to go for non paid route.

[plush umbra]

It was free

[uncut bough]

gjall looks so cool though, even though i hate it

fat floating object with monstrous groaning noises

[near furnace]

and also Steam allows you to try a game for 2 hours. and let you refund it within a 14 day period
The only ones at fault here, is game developers who make the tutorials for games longer than 2 hours.....

[plush umbra]

Valheims tutorial is totally longer than 2 hours 😉

[lusty crescent]

My identity
Or
Valheim gameplay

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/done-and-done-spongebob-finished-just-did-it-gif-10843280

[lusty crescent]

Nuh uh

[half dragon]

Being able to try any game is great, gives far more condifence to buy a game if you're unsure if you're going to like it

[toxic rose]

But is 2 hours enough for Valheim?

[near furnace]

I hope so 🤔

[half dragon]

I believe 2 hours give you the basic idea of what's the game is about. Getting further into the game just slowly unlocks more features and expands on existing stuff

but the core of the gameplay remains the same, more or less?

[lusty crescent]

Tutorial for valheim should just be your character dying on the battlefield
Boom combat, food, and bonds with your brothers(not actually in the game but it is what it is)

[frail raptor]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering how does someone tries pvp in this game? I have been playing for 200hr more or less now in my own server and I want to try to join another server with PVP enabled where I can experience that part of the game, but it seems it is impossible to find a server or even to join one without a password

[odd helm]

All servers have passwords enabled. Try searching for PvP in #1024264966712340510 and contact a server host.

[frail raptor]

There is no post with "pvp" on the lfg channel. it sends me to another channels

is this a thing in valheim? almost no pvp servers/community interested on it?

[frail raptor]

Thank you anywways for the advice!

[odd helm]

Are you using the general discord search function? Try adding in:servers-and-lfg to your search

[frail raptor]

Im going to try again but I think i was using just that one

[regal spoke]

Just searching pvp brings up plenty posts for me

[plush umbra]

Valheim PvP is almost non existent because the game wasn’t made for it

It’s actually really hard for anyone to die unless they decide to let you kill them

[summer hinge]

There's not a lot of pvp posts, but they're easily findable

[paper marsh]

going to the #1024264966712340510 and searching up pvp in the box gives me 25 results

[frail raptor]

Have devs talked about this already?

It would be a shame that potential part of the game is not expanded/developed

I feel like the game could easily "host" both "game modes". Like rust, V rising, or similar titles

[summer hinge]

They've already stated that PvP is not, and never will be, a focus

[paper marsh]

If you do want pvp expanded there's prob mods for it tho

[frail raptor]

Thing is that I dont usually like mods. Im and old guy and I rather prefer to play whatever the developers release

[summer hinge]

. but as for official support of PvP, odds are very slim that you'll get more than what we have now

[frail raptor]

Thank you all for the kinds responses

[summer hinge]

[frail raptor]

Hard to read that....I was so hyped out about the game could be somehow like V rising

with both pve and pvp communities and the game devs doing things for both "modes" of the game

[lunar sapphire]

I was given a key for V-rising. Found it extremely hard to get into. But as per the channel header states, best to continue this in the #general channel

[frail raptor]

Sorry if a brought the wrong conversation to the wrong channel

[azure yacht]

Expanded to a limit that definitely doesn't fit the game.

All I see from pvp-focused survival craft communities is griefing and toxicity.

I really can't comprehend how anyone would like to ruin valheim with such issues (I'll definitely not gonna call them features considering the consequences)

[frail raptor]

In the world of internet there is always going to be toxic people. The thing you need to to do is to provide tools to prevent those people to thrive.

There is a window for people that enjoy in a healthy way that part of games. The PVP. Also servers with weekly/monthly wipes would have sense, where people could come from time to time and play a wipe or two and then have a rest, but it would definitely bring more people to the game and more opportunities to enojy it in different ways.

Stupid toxic humans are going to be out there alwways. Capping the possibilities of the game to prevent them from joining is not something i would like

[azure yacht]

You're saying it yourself, toxic people will always be there trying to ruin the fun for others...

Then why trying to spend time and resources into giving them the means to do so?

They could use all of that into expanding the game to the goal it has had since always.

And I don't understand how having more people playing a game you can perfectly play solo or with a small group of people is a good justification. It's irrelevant

[ember panther]

I think a PvP world could be fun. Let toxic players play with other toxic players

[plush umbra]

Just ends up with people bringing in modded lvl 700 weapons

Or showing up in god mode

[frail raptor]

Because it is not "spending time and resources into giving toxic people means to be toxic". thats a straw man right there.

It is giving to the game another dimension to enjoy. If you dont want to experience it, you just stay in your own server, or in a full PVE server. No one is forced here. Im just saying that PVP could easily be fitted into Valheim and it could be lots of fun.

Having more people playing the game is good for people that actually like to play with others and meet new people. If you want to stay on your own, alone, thats fine, and there is room for that as well.

Also, more people could mean more money to spend on expansion and development

[azure yacht]

Even if I don't play those modes, the fact that they are still using time and resources into features that don't fit them is still affect me: They're not using them into features that could improve the game even more without changing its direction.

[azure yacht]

Yes, because the initial sales were too poor clearly...

There will always be people buying the game, PvP or not. They only have to do their thing and that's it

[frail raptor]

Another strawman right there. You clearly write like a fallacious person. Where did I imply that the initial sales were too poor so they need more money?

[lunar sapphire]

Woosh, subject change ❤️
Best the conversations moves on it seems

[azure yacht]

I didn't. My point there is that more money is the last thing they must need right now

[frail raptor]

So what? I was just sharing thoughts on positive consequences of having a bigger community on a game

What they need or dont need is not relevant to the point

[frail raptor]

Dont fit FOR YOU. Could improve the game even more FOR YOU, in the direction YOU like. Others may like the game improved and expanded to other directions

[lusty crescent]

I didn't even realise you hit me with it until just now😭

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/spit-take-laugh-lmao-gif-9271200

[near furnace]

a good damn game we can be proud of is the goal

[serene talon]

finally got 5 black cores

[paper marsh]

time to put all 5 of them in item stands in the base to look pretty

[prisma haven]

Can anyone recommend a tool a group can use in a no-map server to make our own map together?

[serene talon]

nuh uh they are going into a black forge

[paper marsh]

tbh I tried drawing my map in digital software, and ended up just defaulting to a handrawn map. Lot of fun tho!

[azure yacht]

Which is saving Private John Valheim

[paper marsh]

That said, I think something like "Scribble" will allow multiple people to draw on the same online sheet

[half dragon]

Very glad Valheim became a thing. I don't recall seeing another game that mixes building, fighting and adventuring quite the same way. Not the only game with good building mechanics, but game actively encourages you to build stuff. Practical stuff.
Not just building a house for the sake of building a house. You build a house because bed needs cover and your fire needs protection from wind and rain... and while at it might as well make it look good because why not?

A lot of stuff needs storing? Build a warehouse or a room for storage.
Need some cooking done? Make a proper kitchen. Want to mass produce mead? Maybe make a cellar for it. Stuff to craft? Maybe make a workshop. Ect.

[grave wagon]

No, but I'm interested. I think there are some mods where you can only view the map at the cartography table but I haven't done that yet. It might be the best solution for this sort of thing.

[half dragon]

It's not that you have to do any of that, but it looks both good and is more practical

[serene talon]

destroyed the dverger wards with carts

gonna build my base next to them now they gonna be my roommates

imagine socialising irl imma socialise with dverger

[light moat]

Agree 100%, I especially love the comfort mechanic and how work stations operate with the upgrades and all. Base building feels very organic and your base feels like it grows right along with you.

[half dragon]

Didn't think it was possible, but Atgeir skill has finally hit 50

[lusty crescent]

Paycheck is just a bonus

[half dragon]

Occasional building accidents and oopsies tend to make sure slow to level skills don't get that high 😂

[plush umbra]

So just all combat skills?

[uncut bough]

Welp a gjall just overran a dvergr keep

And i am responsible for it by dragging the gjall to my location

[serene talon]

naaaahhhhh

[ember panther]

Valheim is one of the only games I've sunk this many hours into and still feel like I'm far from finished. I keep discovering new ways to build or styles to use. This playthrough I've built up a couple huge bases over crypts or troll caves to have a safe space for hiding while I afk if I got people on

[exotic cradle]

Yeshhh this, I don't get people who take breaks when there's always too much to do for me >_<

[odd helm]

Hey, sometimes having too much to do is overwhelming in itself~

Breaks are healthy y'all

But enjoy the game as much as you can~

[exotic cradle]

breaks?!

[dense steppe]

you can do a lot of things without interruptions, but leave early

enjoying a break looks like this

[warped wing]

lol on my first legit playthrough i could not find haldor 😂 turns out all the haldor spawns on that seed were as far as mistlands 🤣

[half flax]

I try to have a plan, but get 🐿️ easily 😂

[exotic cradle]

You get chipmunky?

[half flax]

Squirrel…

[warped wing]

im on a much better seed now. the sacrifice stones next to ocean - and found really nice build spots and flat areas. i had to put some work in but im really happy with it 🙂

[faint crypt]

hii

[dense steppe]

but it's a chipmunk

[warped wing]

found the elder on the second day.

[half flax]

Basically set off with cart to fill with copper only to end up on hunting trip. Looks like. Squirrel to these old eyes

[dense steppe]

Hei

[faint crypt]

me play valheim

[half flax]

Stop picking on me, not enough coffee on this damp rainy morning. ☕😂

[faint crypt]

i wanna play with someone

[exotic cradle]

#1024264966712340510 ^_^

[faint crypt]

yipe

[half flax]

My son and I are on a good one as well for a “no portal” resource game. I don’t see how some play without using the seed tool on the web to see where things are located. Kudos to you all who just venture forth, I don’t have the time or patience.

[warped wing]

oh as a youth i spent my time picking mushrooms and climbing trees and hiking in the forest 😂 it's like free therapy for me

[half dragon]

I like using it for finding good spot to build a base

And that's basically the only thing I use it for since I'm picky about where I want to build

[dense steppe]

and after that, those who saw you jumping through the trees with mushrooms in your teeth did not need therapy?

[half flax]

I grew up in country as well, same. Just not much time to hame so tool helps to plan builds and we still have to find our way and the resources

Dang typos

[warped wing]

oh we did not jump through the trees like tarzan no 😂 we'd just climb back down. also we didnt eat raw we cooked mushrooms on a stick by campfire - or cut them up and fry them in a pan. Pine mushrooms 😋 but obviously Fly Agaric was a no go!

[dense steppe]

I know what you mean, I'm just kidding. And we tied a rope with or without a crossbar to a tree above the water, and swung on it while running and flew into the water from the cliff

[warped wing]

maybe all the bad luck in my life right now is a result of playing golf with fly agaric mushrooms for fun when i was little... i destroyed so many fairie's homes and they are pissed 😭

[ember panther]

Shoulda eaten em

[dense steppe]

you can't eat them, you can die

[warped wing]

lol no 😂 i know inuit tribes and reindeer ate them for their halocigenic properties but those are down right poisonous 😂

[frigid gust]

Of course you can eat them! Once.

[dense steppe]

I'm not a berserker, so I can't chew fly agarics and then chew my shield

[ember panther]

Ehh they're not as poisonous as people think. There are ways to prepare them and I've eaten one raw before n felt fine

Fun times

[halcyon thistle]

water is also poisonous, if you drink enough

[paper marsh]

Water has killed many a person

[plush umbra]

My grandma drank water and guess what? She’s dead

[paper marsh]

Undeniable proof

Sorry bout your grandma

[dense steppe]

[warped wing]

water way to go 😮

[dense steppe]

[halcyon thistle]

imagine ashlands introducing a way to drink water

[ember panther]

Gotta stay hydrated 💧

[dense steppe]

It’s enough to have an old plastic bag or a piece of tent with you to always have a couple of sips of clean water, wherever you are

[frigid gust]

Go all Dune-style in the Ashlands? 😛

[dense steppe]

In summer, water can be evaporated in a bag; in winter, you can melt it with your own heat in the bag

[halcyon thistle]

ah yes, condensed water... my favorite after condensed milk

[frigid gust]

Dehydrated water is an untapped market... let that sink in.

/dadjokeception

[dense steppe]

just add water and drink, it's brilliant

[paper marsh]

Wait why would you want to evaporate it? I prefer my water liquid to drink

Or wait condensate prob

[half dragon]

dry ice is great and all, but dry water is better

[ember panther]

I prefer my water wet

[dense steppe]

if the water is dirty, or there is no water at all, then we boil the dirty water and condense the steam and drink it; if there is no water, we bury the bag in the sun, placing the bottom point in a container and wait until the water collects

@paper marshin the evaporated water that has condensed from the steam, only radiation will remain, the rest will not get into it

[paper marsh]

I c

[lusty crescent]

Deep north
Melt blue ice for rejuvenating, cold water, fully replenishs stamina

They should hire me

[half dragon]

12 blast furnaces feels cozy

[formal kraken]

Waterskin. You can also bury it with water to make ice so long as the ground is hot enough and the night is cold enough. Rapid temperature change causes the water in the skin to freeze. It's how you make ice in a desert.

[mortal rampart]

Yeah you just need compressed hydrogen gas and compressed oxygen gas

mix them together and expose it to a flame

POW water

[frigid gust]

Propulsion and you can drink the exhaust. Brilliant!

[pure ermine]

Do workbenches block Gjall spawns?

[azure yacht]

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

[paper marsh]

Yes

[pure ermine]

It doesn't mention anything specifically to Gjall though. Just thought it might be different for them as they're flying.

[pure ermine]

tyvm

[feral parrot]

In order for bees to produce honey, do you have to be nearby like you do breeding boar?

[pure ermine]

no, they produce over time even when away from them

[azure yacht]

It's implicit. All mobs follow the exact same spawn rules.

[unique onyx]

bats and drakes?

[feral parrot]

Thx

[paper marsh]

I think they always spawn at ground level and then ascend, but spawn rules are pretty much same

[azure yacht]

Bats can only spawn inside frost caves outside of raids (although raids still have essentially the same rules).

Afaik bats already spawn the moment you enter a cave so even if you placed a fireplace they would still be there

[unique onyx]

yep but during their raids they'll still spawn in areas spawn blocked, so asking if gjall might spawn above that point seems valid

[paper marsh]

Do they spawn in spawn blocked areas? I thought they just spawned in the ocean which a lot of players don't spawn block

[dense comet]

👀 random question but i saw someone with blue mushrooms the only ones I’ve found are red and yellow sooo are these magical shrooms like a mod thing or somewhere i haven’t been yet?

[paper marsh]

you haven't seen them yet, but they're in the game

[tulip talon]

how many meads can i have at the same time? For example, a stamina and poision mead

[paper marsh]

You can carry as many as you want. You can drink all the different types of meads in the game at once to get their effects. Do note tho that (at least early game) only the resistance meads have lingering effects (poison mead lasts 10 minutes). The stamina and health meads just give you a near-instant regeneration of your health and stamina, and then go on a 2 minute cooldown before you can use another

[uncut bough]

You telling me meadstamina lingering doesn’t linger?

I am scammed, u hear? Scammed.

[odd helm]

lingering stamina mead does linger

5 minute buff of 25% regen

[paper marsh]

it does, but that's not an early game mead

[odd helm]

'Instant' meads take effect over 10 seconds

[uncut bough]

What is the recipe for lingering stamina mead anyways?

[odd helm]

Also, probably useful to know that you can't drink an instant stamina mead while a lingering one is active, or viceversa during the cooldown of the instant one

[paper marsh]

oh interesting I didn't know that. Tbh I need to start using lingering more tho

[light moat]

Good info, just made a batch of lingering stam mead and I haven’t gotten around to using it yet. That’s pretty huge.

[paper marsh]

tbh I've never prioritized stamina much

Prob because I play high difficulty where hp gets important, and because I like weapons with low stamina requirements

[nocturne wolf]

I never feel like I need stamina meads until it’s too late

[paper marsh]

a stamina mead can be mighty nice in a bad spot in the swamp or mountain

[ember panther]

I like tasty meads the best. Since there's no cooldown, makes for quick mining

[light moat]

Yeah, stamina potions are real for boss fights and if you get into a sticky situation- at least, that’s where I use them the most. I need to use tasty mead way more than I currently do lol

[hearty flume]

That feeling when you FINALLY find moder, and the mountain is covered all around in mistlands.. Screw that..

[ember panther]

Yikes... You may be able to force the biomes to fight at least 😅

[hearty flume]

I think I might look for another location thank you very much game

[near saddle]

Lol, happened to me too

[hearty flume]

It's bad xD and on top of that, we bumped into a serpent with mistlands all over, but escaped!

[near saddle]

Hopefully it'll be even more fun with the new ||bone serpents||

[paper marsh]

shhhhh

[paper marsh]

prob should spoiler

[serene talon]

spoilers are important

[hearty flume]

Oh noo

[near saddle]

Mb

[uncut bough]

damn lingering stamina look so expensive

[paper marsh]

huh, I think they're one of the cheapest things to make

I got farms for all 3 things right near my base (and somehow, I still haven't used one this run)

[regal spoke]

The tasty mead is actually really good. I think lingering in long fights is clutch too.

[crude yacht]

Random question: Is the in-game chat function world-wide? Or is it proximity based? If I join a world and talk in the channel will everyone in the world be able to see what I type or only if they are close to me? And if the 2nd, how close do you need to be?

[ember panther]

If you use /s to shout it will be worldwide. Otherwise talk is just local

[crude yacht]

Do you know what the limits of local are?

[ancient crown]

yo will valheim ever have playstation support?

[ember panther]

Not exactly... It's like within sight maybe?

[plush umbra]

I think it was said it depends on PlayStation. Xbox specifically reached out to valheim or it would be pc only

[hidden gorge]

playstation doesn't tend to play nice with others, so I doubt it

[vocal rivet]

Not that the whole XBox thing has been a huge success either, what with the issues with Playfab.

[frigid gust]

They might consider ports once they hit 1.0, the only reason it's on XBox is like Queen Germ said, because they were asked to do so and given some resources to make it happen. The thing with Early Access is there's a lot of programming still going on and big changes are harder the more targets you're trying to hit.

[vocal rivet]

The port developers were also picked because of their experience with XBox too (IIRC).

[placid vapor]

Is there a place to find people to play with on a new server?

[vocal rivet]

You can find servers at #1024264966712340510 and you might find someone to play with.

[placid vapor]

Thanks @vocal rivet

[sterile flame]

Favorite weapon class? For me it's polearms. Attacks with long range gives you a big advantage against most mobs, you can time your attacks to hit as they approach or swing to stagger and finish them off with powerful crits. You can still effectively parry with decent armor and high health, just don't parry starred late game mobs and you're golden. The special atttack is A-tier and will stagger most enemies and knock them back giving you breathing room and easily dealing with fast swarming enemies. I use a mace for fighting bonemass and yagluth and an atgeir for everything else.

[paper marsh]

For me prob knives. Just love the speed and agility of using them

Polearms are my least favorite weapon 🤣

[half dragon]

I herd somebody dissing the Atgeir

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/warlock-fireball-dungeons-and-dragons-dnd-bart-gif-22745924

[paper marsh]

ooh ooh me! It was me!

I doubt many would disagree with my reason for disliking it, even if it doesn't make them dislike it

[sterile flame]

Yeah the new magic is really cool. a shame we don't get it earlier in the game

[half dragon]

Doubt that is going to be too big of a deal when we get 2 more biomes to use it in

[vocal rivet]

I see you're a man of culture too.

[azure yacht]

And elemental magic earlier where many enemies (including bosses themselves) are weak to said dmg would just extremely trivialize the game

[frigid gust]

Magic is end-game tech. It makes sense compared to many other games, you don't get the BFG in the first room 😉

[half dragon]

if you have fireball and you don't cast it, you're doing something wrong

[sterile flame]

I agree it's OP right now and we'll get use it the next biomes. Still would be cool if you had access to a magic system and play a mage from early game

[past plaza]

taming a wulf: do they eat wulfmeat?

[paper marsh]

Ooh ooh me that’s me!

[paper marsh]

They’re not cannibals no 😔

[half dragon]

they do not... unfortunately they're not fans of cannibalism

[azure yacht]

Being unnecessarily OP and being cool seem to contradict each other...

[frigid gust]

Valheim very explicitly does not expect you to "class" your character. There is no single type of skill that you can use through the whole game against all enemies, and magic earlier would lead to that.

[azure yacht]

Magic should barely even be a thing in a viking warrior game in the first place

[paper marsh]

I do hope for more enemies with significant elemental resistances in Ashlands but not so sure that’s gonna happen

[half dragon]

sounds like synonyms to me

[frigid gust]

I'd almost guarantee that'll happen. But I'm guessing they won't have universal resistances, you won't be able to just use a single type of magic and call it good. Fireball goes fizzle

[half dragon]

but game does encourage you to focus on few weapon types instead of many. Using too many weapons will result in none of them being very effective

[frigid gust]

Or even better... wouldn't it be hilarious if a fireball powered up Ashlands enemies? 😉

[ember panther]

No ty. I'll take a 0 hit thx

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-sora-kh3-kh-gif-27223516

It charges the charred up and explode when killed

[ember panther]

Ashlands will probably give us even more magic. Probably a lightning element at least

[paper marsh]

I imagine most if not all will have some elemental resist, but I’m not so sure about having enough elemental resistances to make magic subpar against them. They’d have to resist fire, frost, and potentially poison or lightning if that’s added as magic weapons

[azure yacht]

They already teased ||lightning staff||

[frigid gust]

One of the info dumps said something about ||nature magic||. Gonna have to see where things go 🙂 It's gonna be fun.

[ember panther]

Spawn grey dwarf brutes

[mortal raven]

I started playing the game not too long ago, and already have enough stuff in my world for me to value it quite a bit! Will I need to create a new one when the Ashlands drop...?

[ember panther]

Nope, it'll update itself so long as you haven't explored it

[mortal raven]

And what if I have?

Like a lil bit when traveling

[steep girder]

It's OK to explore the world in general but if you go map out all of Ashlands and Deep north then they won't be generated once they're implemented, basically anything unmapped is eligible for upcoming changes and everything mapped will remain as it is

[plush umbra]

I love my atgeir. I love my atgeir. I love my atgeir.

gets to mountains content

where is my atgeir...

[paper marsh]

Iron atgeir works fine in mountain imo

[plush umbra]

oh absolutely

[paper marsh]

It’s OP anyways so you can prob use iron in plains and be fine

[plush umbra]

sword and board and atgeir everytime, i am the group tank

[mortal raven]

What if I use console commands to wipe out my map

[shy marlin]

You can use bronze atgeir on vh in the plains and still be fine

Far too powerful weapon

[paper marsh]

Yea

Almost as OP as bow

[plush umbra]

What’s the difference between that and starting a new world

Or are you going to wipe specific chunks?

[mortal raven]

Eh idk what I'm talking abt really

Does Valheim preload everything or just when you get to certain parts of the world?

[half dragon]

resetting the map, like what's visible in the map... doubt that does anything

as long as you've explored a location before it should remain explored

[paper marsh]

You’re able to reset the chunks themselves I THINK, which should help, but not sure how. There’s a command for resetting map but I don’t think that does anything but make your map foggy again

[mortal raven]

How do I know if I actually loaded it in if it shows up on the map but I haven't seen land from the ship

Did I or did I not load it in...

[mortal raven]

Probably

Is the chunk thing a vanilla feature or...?

[paper marsh]

Tbh, no clue about it. Just remember hearing a bit of talk

[mortal raven]

I could reset most of the map really, I'll check if that's possible later

Thanks for the tip

[paper marsh]

Did you explore all of Ashlands or just a bit?

[mortal raven]

Like um I have the outline on my map

Just a bit, ig it'll be just green land there?

[paper marsh]

If you’ve just sailed around it it should be fine. Maybe a bit that doesn’t update. But if most the Ashlands is undiscovered on the map you should be fine. I think I it only prevents updates on what is discovered on map or maybe a slightly bigger range but not much more

[mortal raven]

Tysm!

Yippee! There's a mod called Upgrade World that worked with Mistlands when they came out, should still work the same with Ashlands

[drifting gazelle]

What is the best melee weapon from mistland

[frigid gust]

Depends on your skills and what you're fighting

[paper marsh]

Up to preference. The fan favorites tend to be ||magic, and then mistwalker or himmin afl (sword and atgeir)||

[drifting gazelle]

Yea im thinking im gonna get mistwalker first

[pliant hatch]

Fyi,

As long as the name of the biome doesn't show up on your screen the first time you're near it with all those sound effects, it doesn't count as "explored".

[latent wraith]

Entering the biome (thus getting the "new biome" thing when you first enter it) is completely irrelevant. An area of 9x9 zones centered on the player's zone is generated, with a zone being 64x64 metres. The generated area is a bit bigger than the fog of war limit on the map.

[pliant hatch]

Thus, the moment you get notified that you enter a new biome, the biome is already generated.

Right?

[latent wraith]

And has been for a while.

[loud valve]

I thought that only shows up the first time you enter that type of biome

[latent wraith]

"A biome" is also not really a good term to use, as a zone can have several biomes and each biome area generally spans many zones.

[pliant hatch]

It does.

But afterwards it shows up on your minimap when you enter the biome.

[hidden brook]

i remember saving in my base right before closing the game and going to bed, i come back and im in the swamp dungeons?

the game pulled me back so far wtf

[uncut bough]

I have made myself 100 crunch fishwraps

Cuz i have all the barley flours and cooked fish that i need to get rid off

Looking back i should have made lox meat pie and blood pudding

Also mage cap is smaller than how it seems, i thought that it will be as big 2 lox pie but nah it was tiny

[crude yacht]

Strange question: When the new update is released, will it change anything prior to the new biome? Will it affect older biomes (give them updates or new content)? Or is it all focused on the new biome only?

[dense rapids]

As far as I've understood it's all about ashlands

So I wouldn't expect anything outside of that. The new buildpieces you can use in any biome ofcourse. I saw something about a vine you can plant that grows on houses 🤩

[vocal rivet]

Yes, it'll be exclusively Ashlands.

[steady veldt]

or will it...

[azure yacht]

Smiffe implied it

If there was something before ashlands, they probably would've teased it.

After all, if it's something from before then it's something that has been requested from a few to many times already. So it's something they could say

Like they did with the fishing changes in mistlands

[crude yacht]

So they have changed things in earlier biomes in the older updates? But usually they announce them?

[paper marsh]

In hildrs they changed previous biome stuff, but announced it all I believe

[dense rapids]

Ash, we'll see when the update lands..

[steady veldt]

We got an awesome trailer announcing the Mistlands going to PTB. Then an animated video for the live launch hopefully we get another round of these.

[cobalt token]

Been curious bout that too. If we were getting another trailer

[azure yacht]

Not counting the smaller patches: H&H did, but that one was explicitly an overall tweak/content update for the game. Hildir did as well, but again that was explicitly stated as an update that encompassed several biomes.

Neither of them were for specific biomes like ashlands and mistlands

So the only way we get content for several biomes is if they dedicate that update to that specifically

[tulip talon]

Which is better of silver sword and frostner and also why (i need to know)

[frigid gust]

If you have to choose just one, Frostner. Silver sword is better in a few circumstances, but the Frostner is much more broadly useful.

[tulip talon]

thanks

[steady veldt]

Frostner right now because it has more use cases. The silver sword is BIS for Yag beyond that not much. Silver sword may be a go to for starting Ashlands because of it's high spirit and cleave.

[tulip talon]

thanks also

[fair cairn]

frostner is just as good against yag

[frigid gust]

DPS wise it's not. Silver sword is S-tier, Frostner and Blackmetal sword are A-tier, if you just look at the numbers against Yag. But it is more than Good Enough(tm) and I would rather not have more weapons using silver than I need

[nocturne wolf]

Make sure you have another weapon with you when fighting Moder. She is immune to frost damage.

[paper marsh]

and spirit

fang spear or flesh rippers are superb

[tulip talon]

didnt know that, thank you

[nocturne wolf]

Fang spear is great to use if you already made a frostner because it’s so cheap

[frigid gust]

I used the iron mace for everything in the Mountains, including Moder. And the bow.

[paper marsh]

why no frostner?

[frigid gust]

I took that down the mountain into the Plains and the Mistlands 😉 Golems and Moder were big reasons to stick with the iron mace, everything else died quickly enough to it.

[nocturne wolf]

It has more knockback to launch wolves off cliffs

[paper marsh]

suppose so

all the frost cave mobs take spirit damage right (other than golems)?

[frigid gust]

Yup, I believe so. They also take extra poison damage.

[uncut bough]

do golems spawn in frost cavern?

[paper marsh]

very very rarely yes

[uncut bough]

i still hate that thing with a passion, along with Gjall or deathsquito

[paper marsh]

I haven't seen it before

[uncut bough]

it is always annoying to fight them

at least deathsquito let me make 2nd strongest pure damage arrow

and gjall is... maybe blood blot and the trophy

[frigid gust]

Golems have the best trophy, and you need the crystals for dvergr lanterns and windows. I love golems.

[paper marsh]

I usually find Golems annoying and just ignore them or put them in timeout. Deathsquitoes are easily killed with one hit so they're not much of an issue

Gjall can be pretty dangerous but just gotat get close to one and it dies quick

[uncut bough]

you dont need dvergr lantern if you just plunder it from their settlement

it is as easy as picking it up from a table and they don't bat an eye, same as picking up dvergr tankard

and you find plenty crystal in frost cave

[paper marsh]

if I could parry a golem or if I was using a mace I might fight them

[frigid gust]

You can parry them with a silver shield I believe, but they have a weird cooldown timer, I think it's different for each attack they have. I just dismantle them with a dodge-roll forward when they attack, secondary mace to stagger them and then hit them a bunch. Rinse, lather, repeat.

[uncut bough]

you can parry a golem, but as i said i think that it is simply not worth it to fight them, but letting them stick around the area that you later might return to isnt ideal either

[paper marsh]

yea they recover quick from some attacks. But on my difficulty the parrying is just a nono until you get later biome gear

[uncut bough]

they recover slower when they do a wide swing attack, maybe because the damage it deals is lower so it staggers them longer when parried

the smash attack though, yea they recover faster, and i remember it has another type of attack which might also let them recover faster but i forgot, i have long moved past mountains

[paper marsh]

Yeah they have a stab. I like the stab bc root chest protects against it

[uncut bough]

idk if i ever will use frost arrow anymore now needle arrow is so abundant

[paper marsh]

Frost arrow is pretty OP tho, best for mistlands in general and prob be pretty slick in Ashlands too

That said yeah they can be more annoying to make yea. I have a few stacks of needles in my chest at home

[empty bison]

so we smelted 43 iron so far with friend, what is first item to craft for both of us? 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

Iron nails

[frigid gust]

Iron nails. You're gonna need a bigger boat 🦈

[warm depot]

REAL

everything is secondary to BIG OL'BOAT

[empty bison]

I crafted few, but recipe for boat didnt appear yet, am I missing something? 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

After that you should make a mace and banded shield, along with other weapons if you want them

[warm depot]

atgeir superiority

[nocturne wolf]

Ancient bark, probably (swamp tree wood)

[nocturne wolf]

I always make this with a mace and shield for bonemass

[warm depot]

iron atgeir is a must have for mountain!!!

and its good to have some skill farmed on it for mountain plans and then maybe even mistlands if ur heart desires

but ye mace is a must bcs of bonemass weakness

also knifes, I finished the game so many times but for almsot every playthrough I went straight to the weapon+shield combo

[paper marsh]

Not a must have, just very good (although to be fair, it’s good in all biomes)

[warm depot]

I regret not experimenting a little more, only resently did I start making crazy combos

[hidden brook]

battle axe or mace

[warm depot]

besides mistlands, where its a crime to go with anything besides frostner before upgrading to midtlands tier gear

[warm depot]

mace all day way

[nocturne wolf]

Knife + tower shield is nice, and the only weapon I’d ever consider using a tower shield with.

[hidden brook]

thanks

[warm depot]

battle axe is kinda useless if you are not fighting an abomination

[hidden brook]

i thought abomination blocks slash?

[odd helm]

But they're great for abominations, so I like em

[odd helm]

They're trees, they're weak to slash

[hidden brook]

but the abomination TANKS my arrows

[odd helm]

That's piercing

[hidden brook]

it uses half of my bow hp just to get it down to half hp

[sterile flame]

Recently noticed 2 star seekers spawn in the small abanodoned mines. Also encountered them guarding the outside of infested mines. Never met one in the mines though

[hidden brook]

ohhh im Freaking stupid 🤦‍♂️

[odd helm]

https://tenor.com/view/pat-anime-anime-pat-pat-anime-gif-25530111

[warm depot]

there is a verg helpful video on youtube explaining every monster weakness!

[nocturne wolf]

They are neutral to slash

[warm depot]

or if you dont want it such in ur face scroll the wiki

[hidden brook]

ill be fiiiine

[hidden brook]

and positive to blunt?

[warm depot]

just dont go arrows into bonemass 😅

[hidden brook]

i already did him with af riend with arrows

[nocturne wolf]

0.5 blunt

[warm depot]

thats a crime sir

[hidden brook]

my arrows were not doing a single, SINGLE pixel of damage and it was fire arrows

[odd helm]

Resistant to blunt and very resistant to pierce, so you know, might as well be weak to slash.

You're strictly correct tho, of course.

[hidden brook]

if my friend werent have been there, i wouldve been deaaad

[warm depot]

burn their kin

[frigid gust]

Abominations die in seconds if you parry them while they're standing over a surtling spawner fire 😛

[odd helm]

They also die pretty quickly parried and then stun locked with a battleaxe~

[warm depot]

do you guys feel like mage is too op?

after I first tried mage I felt for the first time safe and cocky in mistlands

[odd helm]

Considering they're a new weapon in the current hardest biome, they won't feel op by the time ashlands comes out.

[warm depot]

compared to having upgraded plains gear in plains, having upgraded mistlands gear in mistlands is still extremely dangerous

[frigid gust]

I did that until a 2* tick surprised me and killed me in seconds. But seconding what Scarlet says... it's a bit OP. For now.

[warm depot]

ashlands is another discussion I was refferencing mistlands

[odd helm]

Currently, not over powered, just rightfully strong.

[warm depot]

but ashlands forget mage lmao, DUAL AXES

[odd helm]

No I'm not biased in the least

[nocturne wolf]

Not against the queen. My only death to a boss was in my second playthrough. I tried magic for the first time and even with all the armor my eitr wasn’t regenerating fast enough. The skeletons kept dying and the bubbles were breaking in one hit because they aren’t immune to chop and pickaxe damage. I didn’t have enough eitr to defend myself from the seekers with a fire staff.

[sterile flame]

well still you're sacrificing atleast one food slot and the eitr food isn't easily farmed and acquired

[primal cosmos]

there was a patch today is this PBT for ashlands?

[odd helm]

Negative cobra commander

[warm depot]

thats THE ONLY problem I have with the mage build

[odd helm]

Just bug fixes

[warm depot]

you are dependent on a specific food type for everything

[primal cosmos]

ok ty

[warm depot]

everytime I had the mage gear on I kept a frostner in my inventory for anything

[sterile flame]

Mage seems very circumstancial, you can't have eitr food 24/7. Melee and range is more reliable

well you can but it's a waste

You sacrifice health and mobility for damage so seems fair to me

[frigid gust]

I find that if you're good at stamina management the mage builds can be insane. It uses no stamina to use your spells, you almost always have stamina to run and jump and reposition if you're careful.

[distant sun]

Hey guys, I am thinking about creating a new world with ashlands update and my question is - wait for the update or create a new world now. And just pay attention to not go too south to uncover ashlands biome

[regal spoke]

Another example of Eik power could be good here

[frigid gust]

Create it now. Worlds should upgrade fine, just don't defeat the Queen so you get the full progression (hugin hints, etc.) experience

[sterile flame]

I haven't played around alot with mage outside of mistlands, but it's true it does simplify stamina managment

[pliant hatch]

You can do both. 🙂

But in general; as long as you don't visit any part of the Ashlands, you can create a new world now.

[distant sun]

thanks. The thing is I have world before mistlands and the regions are pretty small right now. So I dont want have same issue with ashlands

And ashlands are explored too so it is why I want create new world

[frigid gust]

Yeah, the world generation of the Mistlands and such has changed in recent-ish versions as well, so it would be a good idea in general. The Ashlands is a contained area and will be regenerated regardless, so you don't have to worry about that.

[distant sun]

thanks

[sterile flame]

I think an item or armor that gives a baseline eitr/ more eitr food will make mage more viable

as of now the best you could do is a hybrid mage

Would love to see a lightning whip spell just like the Brontide in Dragon's Dogma

Also more utility spells like levitaion

[uncut bough]

man i wish i can use ancient bark as fuel for charcoal kiln or the hearth

[serene talon]

i would also like a whip

[uncut bough]

otherwise they are sitting around being useless in my storage

[sterile flame]

Maybe Valheim isn't the game for those spells but now that they've introduced magic the possibilities are endless

[paper marsh]

its good its just not necessary. There's plenty of viable playstyles. This run I've got full mistlands gear but haven't touched atgeir or frostner

[frigid gust]

I actually like using the Frostner even with Mist-tier gear. Knockback is super useful.

[sterile flame]

Wondering what settings you play on. Do you lose all your gear on death?

[paper marsh]

yea, playing on these settings in my main world https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1207493650355986432

And then I've just added on a challenge of no bow, no atgeir, and a few other lil things

[sterile flame]

damn

yeah that's harcore alrighy

how many hours do you have

[paper marsh]

650

[nocturne wolf]

On the world (would be surprising but with those settings might be possible), or all time?

[paper marsh]

Must say tho some things are pretty tough on Very Hard without cheesing with a bow

[sterile flame]

in the game

[paper marsh]

all time

[nocturne wolf]

Mine is probably around there but because I played on gamepass until about half a year ago I don’t know exactly

[sterile flame]

Takes a certain kind of individual to play this way lol. How do you deal with the 2* seekers and enemies in general?

[paper marsh]

I do still resort to something similar to bow cheese (just using a spear instead) for some very strong enemies that just aren't possible to parry or would take years to dodge around and hit (and risk getting 1 shot). Still gotta run in and pick the spear(s) back up tho so it adds a bit of challenge

I gotta say tho people really underestimate spears for stuff like drakes and Gjall tho. Everyone acting like spears are the worst thing in mountains

[nocturne wolf]

Spears are great against drakes until you miss once and never see the spear again

[shy marlin]

Well spears are just kinda outclassed by the atgeir/bow so 🤷‍♂️

Great speedrun weapon though

[sterile flame]

Huh and here I was forgetting yo could throw spears lol

[paper marsh]

indeed. Just makes me sad I feel like a lot of weapons are labelled trash dumps if there is any other weapon in the game that generally does a bit better

[shy marlin]

I wouldn't use trash dumps but ye

[paper marsh]

Like Crossbow gets a ton of hate too as being useless, even though its pretty good. People just get used to how bows are used, and how bows have OP DPS up close and then write off everything else

[nocturne wolf]

Tower shields aren’t as bad as people say they are, if used right

[shy marlin]

and when is the best tower shield use case?

[sterile flame]

I only carry a crossbow. Much more fun to shoot

has an oumph

[paper marsh]

If you have trouble parrying, if you wanna save stamina, if you wanna block many repeated hits (multiple mobs, queen barf, yag meteors, etc.)

Scale shield also good for pierce mobs

[near furnace]

not sure everyone know this.
but shields in valheim have angles they can deflect. a tower-shield can block 180 degrees of incomming attacks

[shy marlin]

Why block when you can just stagger and gain infinite stamina with atgeir?

And gain complete control over the encounter

Yep you can stagger with atgeir special, wait and do nothing, and then atgeir special again and you are net positive for stamina

[crude yacht]

Do enemies take fall damage? It would make using the knock back of the towershields be more effective on cliffsides.

[paper marsh]

not much point. Which is why I personally don't run atgeir

I don't think that has anything to do with tower vs non-tower shields tho

[nocturne wolf]

Unfortunately no

[paper marsh]

Sadly not

[nocturne wolf]

But at least this stops some ridiculously easy cheesing opportunities

[shy marlin]

It does, why use the tower shield or any shield when you can be proactive rather than reactive (using shields)

[paper marsh]

but not using a shield isn't an argument for which shield is best

just an argument that shields can be useless if using the right weapon

Also some enemies you can't stagger, and some have ranged attacks, which is a good usecase for shields even if you run atgeir

[shy marlin]

I mean should you even consider what shield is best when there's a clearly better substitute?

Seems like worthless analysis to me 🤷‍♂️

[paper marsh]

I'd say so yea. Not a lot of people want to lock themselves in to only using one weapon throughout the entire game

[shy marlin]

not talking about peoples playstyles, talking about the objectively best strat

[crude yacht]

Is there a situation where atgiers put you at a disadvantage? Certain enemies that chew through an atgier attack?

[nocturne wolf]

Pierce resistance

[paper marsh]

ah, then yea in most cases shields aren't necessary and discussion of them not too important. Could still be important for those ranged/non-stagger encounters tho

[sage dock]

Are we seriously having the shield arguement again?

[sterile flame]

as rule of thumb don't count on staggering 1 and 2* monsters

[shy marlin]

I completely understand people wanting to play as a Tank with a tower shield playstyle because they like the roleplay and the playstyle though. Single player game do whatever they enjoy and I'll do what I enjoy type thing 👍

[crude yacht]

I just don't like it when you just use the same attack strategy from beginning to the end of the game. Makes for a very boring game. It's better if you have to use different strategies for different situations.

[paper marsh]

I like to use different playstyles on different runs to switch it up, and at least 2-3 types of main melee weapons on any one run, but I feel like I still end up limiting myself a lot because I keep feeling yucky playing overly OP or overly popular weapons. idk why

Still need to try out some more mace and sword, barely used them before

[shy marlin]

Give krom a shot

Can get some neuron activation with staggering/parrying with krom special for 700-800 damage

[paper marsh]

good idea. I do quite like battleaxes too, it's just so annoying the movement debuff it gives

[nocturne wolf]

I didnt like krom when I first used it, I might try it again now that I know how to jump attack.

It will make the slow attacks a bit easier to use, but there wont always be enough space for this in mistlands…

[paper marsh]

I'm good with using weapons just for their limited use cases. Can always bring 5 weapons to have one for every situation

[nocturne wolf]

My hotbar is always too full of items I’m not going to use for me to do this

[tulip talon]

when should i start having animals like boars in the game (im at the early mountain stage)

[shy marlin]

Taming animals is completely optional content, it's useful, but optional

[paper marsh]

really up to preference. My first couple runs I didn't tame any animals

[crude yacht]

I would think of taming boars when you get sick of hunting them in the wild. Bad typo...sorry.

[paper marsh]

I would say the most useful tames come later tho

[crude yacht]

I will usually tuck a few 2 star boars away in a couple locations, but usually I find enough in the wild for most needs.

[hidden brook]

whats the next step after defeating bonemass?

[paper marsh]

Go to Mountains, preferably a tall one

[hidden brook]

ive beeen sitting in base afk for hours idk what to o

[hidden brook]

and do what?

[paper marsh]

bring boss drop, experiment. Mine stuff. Get loot. Explore

[hidden brook]

boss drop?

what boss is in the mountains?

[paper marsh]

Bonemass boss drop. Wishbone

[hidden brook]

also how dangerous are the mountains except the wolves?

is it a swamp 2.0?

[uncut bough]

it is a black forest 0.5

[hidden brook]

so easier?

[shy walrus]

easier than swamp imo

[hidden brook]

thank god

[shy walrus]

swamp just has hordes of annoying mobs

[uncut bough]

arguably less thing to do, a bit of struggle when you get in, but once you got the cape to replace frost mead, u r gucci

[hidden brook]

and use fire arrows right? cause yknow..snow + fire?

[uncut bough]

not rlly, use best arrow you have, but fire would do

[hidden brook]

oh and since im solo how tf do i deal with the flying bastards and the stone enemise

[shy walrus]

i feel like fire arrows fall off

[hidden brook]

i saw 3 people barely get past him

[uncut bough]

use bow and arrow for flying enemy, stone golem just run

[shy walrus]

i always snuck into the plains to get needle arrows for mountain but that's a bit risky

[hidden brook]

should i not even try to kill golem?

[uncut bough]

you could but expect a hard time

[paper marsh]

Easier than swamp yea, but takes a bit of getting used to still. Lotta glass cannons

[pliant hatch]

If you're lost for your progression, just look at the order of the sacrificial stones at your world's main spawn point.
Each stone gives you an image of the next boss to fight, as well as some information about that boss and occasionally where to find it.

[shy walrus]

not unless u know its attacks

[hidden brook]

glass cannons???? 😭

[uncut bough]

no, Tank

it has all the firepower and the health

[hidden brook]

i thought we wer in the viking era

[uncut bough]

and the real nut kicker is that it is resistant to all form of dmg

[hidden brook]

sorry very stupid joke i regret saying

[uncut bough]

minus pickaxe but it is really hard to fight with pickaxe

so expect doing 0.5 damage of your weapon everytime

[hidden brook]

freak but whats the tank?

[shy walrus]

stone golem

[hidden brook]

ohhh

[uncut bough]

it is like troll but better in everyway

[serene talon]

only big danger could be freezing effect

[hidden brook]

fuck i barely can kill the troll with full iron with a bow 😭

[uncut bough]

it also deals pickaxe damage, so it technically "mines" resources for you if it hit stuff like obsidian

but other than that, it is just better troll, and worse loot to boot

[hidden brook]

i experienced that when the mountains blew wind.... im not proud of it but i had to cheat to get rid of them (i dropped all loot i got from them and despawned it 👍 )

[uncut bough]

you get some of the most useless items in the game killing stone golem, stone and crystal

[hidden brook]

lmao alr

[uncut bough]

stone is useless cuz if you go to mountain, i dont think u go up there for stone

[serene talon]

stone golems spawn like out of nowhere

[hidden brook]

like the abomination?

[uncut bough]

crystal is (mostly) useless because it can build some wall pieces with it or make a 2 handed axe, other than that it is bad

[uncut bough]

yes and it is still better abomination

[hidden brook]

what are the mountain enemies least resistant to?

[serene talon]

you can find lots crystals in the mountain dungeons too

[uncut bough]

drake is fire i think, wolf is none, stone golem is none

[hidden brook]

youve got to be freaking joking me i can barely kill him

[uncut bough]

wish i was kidding

[paper marsh]

tbh everything is good. Only one that kinda resists stuff is golem, who you'd like a BLUNT DAMAGE mace for

[serene talon]

very weak to pickaxe

[uncut bough]

forgot about that but honestly it is hard to fight with pickaxe

[paper marsh]

mace is great for golem. Pick is ok but meh

[hidden brook]

literally 0 birds and i need arrows ffs

[uncut bough]

the swing speed is slow, so you most likely hit the ground cuz it moves too, it is 2 handed so no shield, meaning if its attack hit then you get hurt big time

[uncut bough]

wait at night, bird spawns plenty

or just chop trees, trees give feathers ( sometimes)

[pliant hatch]

Just craft one or two stacks of wood arrows, wait for nightfall and shoot birds when they're on the ground.

[uncut bough]

no, use spears if you have some, or harpoon

it saves arrow, it saves resources

[paper marsh]

wooden arrows really aren't too expensive either

[hidden brook]

do you need many spears?

[uncut bough]

don't make spear if you don't plan to stick with it long term, use what you have, and no, if you throw spear you can get it back

as long as you remember the location of it that is

so flint spear works fine too if you don't have better spear, you use it mostly to throw at birds, not to combat, or at least i hope

[hidden brook]

what if the spear hits an enemy?

[pliant hatch]

8 wood = 20 wooden arrows.

If each arrow hits a bird and you get 3 feathers from a bird, that's 60 feathers.

Meaning you got plenty feathers for multiple stacks of any other kind of arrow.

[uncut bough]

~~ then you lose spear, the end~~ then it falls onto the ground for u to pick up

[hidden brook]

ahh ok ok

[uncut bough]

DONT MAKE SPEAR IF YOU DONT PLAN TO USE IT LONG TERM

[hidden brook]

how good is it? and is it pearce or slash?

pearce 🤦‍♂️

[uncut bough]

pierce, and for me it is horrible, for a lot of Spear enthusiast here, it is top tier

[hidden brook]

i spelt it wrong twice, i was going to make fun of my spelling the second time but i spelt it wrong again 🫡

[uncut bough]

idk, beat me, i still want to trash it

its attack is literally stab from overhead, which leads to funny moment in swamp where it cant even hit the body pile cuz the attack can't reach down enough

[hidden brook]

it is night i am awaiting birds

there are none and im in the middle of an open field

[paper marsh]

spear isn't much needed if you have a bow and don't intend to melee with spear

[uncut bough]

and its secondary attack, throw spear, deals 1.5x damage to enemy on hit, but it is mostly gimmick, you are better off using bow

[foggy glacier]

birds stay closer to water (seagulls do, anyway.) Go to the coast.

[hidden brook]

ok great theres a fog now

[uncut bough]

crouch and walk

[foggy glacier]

or wait for rain

[hidden brook]

i live like 7km away from the water 😭

[uncut bough]

no dont worry, it spawns almost everywhere at night

[hidden brook]

(sarcastic 7km)

[uncut bough]

no real shortage of feathers

[foggy glacier]

ugh. You can also find crows in BF

[hidden brook]

ah ok

[uncut bough]

just walk around meadows where there are not many trees, it will be easier to spot and hit bird

[hidden brook]

fat freaking fog now oh my god

im by the ocean i had a teleport i forgot about

still cant see anything

0 birds by the shore

[uncut bough]

ur update is making me nervous lmao, i could help you gather feathers

[hidden brook]

its making you nervous? 😭

[uncut bough]

sorta, i never had trouble finding birds

[hidden brook]

i never did until i needed them

i found one but i scared it on accident

[foggy glacier]

even during the day, they land eventually. Just track the ones flying around in an open meadow and eventually it'll land. You should have enough time to draw and shoot it.

[halcyon blade]

It's much easier at night or in stormy/rainy weather, they are much less prone to flying off at random and will stay grounded until you get too close.

[hidden brook]

ok ill remember that

[pliant hatch]

Easiest way to deal with arrows (imho) is to use wooden arrows for anything you can kill with one shot.
Which means deer, boar, neck, greylings, greydwarves - minus the brutes - for sure.
Skelletons and Draugr most likely; at worst they need two arrows.

Use the arrows you find in the burial chambers and sunken crypts in your next biome and only craft the ones you can get there.

That'll save you from gathering feathers over and over again a lot.

If it helps;

In the current last biome you get the ability to get so many feathers from an animal you can breed, you don't even know what to do with them.
So you need to "endure" this situation for another 3 biomes. 😉

[foggy glacier]

You can also find feathers in the stone chests inside the burial chambers in BF.

[uncut bough]

craft wood arrow to deal with 75% of enemies, use what you found for new biome

so uh dont go craft arrow out of metal, it is wasteful, flint arrow will carry you to mountains if you need that extra dmg

[foggy glacier]

Keep a bow and a stack of wood arrows in your inventory. shoot at any birds you see while gathering and exploring.

[uncut bough]

and once you get to mountain, obsidian allows you to craft arrow that basically replaces flintarrow, or elemental arrows ( excluding fire)

like poison, frost, i think there are just poison and frost

[wide zodiac]

wheres the best place to get a ton of stone?

[uncut bough]

anywhere

[foggy glacier]

Depends on your current biome. Black Forest i'd say copper mining

[uncut bough]

but you can find a big boulder and start using pickaxe on it

[foggy glacier]

Mountains it's silver mine and plains are those giant tall stones.

[uncut bough]

that is if you care exclusively to stone, or you can just dig the ground, it gives stones too

[foggy glacier]

Not much stone in swamp. pick another biome.

[wide zodiac]

if i mine the foundation of those giant stone pillars in the plains will it collapse?

[foggy glacier]

It will.

You can get probably 200-300 stone from those pillars in plains.

[halcyon blade]

If I recall it was around 7-8 stacks, so even more than that.

[plush umbra]

Low rate and kills fps

[foggy glacier]

True. Better even to just walk around meadows and smash boulders.

I've played a bit, so I hold on to every rock I get. I'm at 87 pickaxe skill and just got into plains.

[wide zodiac]

if i attempt to do that will every fuling in the vicinity come after me? it says on the wiki they have really good hearing

[uncut bough]

they might spawn but you wont be swarmed

[foggy glacier]

yeah, they do. You gotta clear the area first.

[uncut bough]

unless you are near a fulings base, then yea they WILL hear you, clear them out

[foggy glacier]

You can put down a few workbenches while you work to prevent random spawns.

[uncut bough]

you will attract deathsquito too but they will come for ur ass anyways so that is not sth to really play around

[wide zodiac]

welp im still in troll armor lol so i guess no stone for me for awhile

[foggy glacier]

what biome are you in?

[wide zodiac]

ive used up 2 wooden chests full of stone just for the stone stairs im building

[foggy glacier]

are you actively exploring plains?

[pliant hatch]

Not from the plains, perhaps.
But can still "harvest" every boulder you see in the meadows and along the meadows and BF coast.

[wide zodiac]

i was till those goblins speared me

[foggy glacier]

I'd say go back to mountain and get either silver armor or fenris set.

I prefer to dodge in combat, so I live in Fenris armor even into Mistlands.

I'll swap out for heavy armor if I hit a village or dungeon.

[uncut bough]

yea dont mess with plains before you find Root armor lol

[wide zodiac]

whats your main weapon?

[loud valve]

Can always farm greydwarfs for stone

[uncut bough]

you will die a thousand stings without root harnesk at least

[foggy glacier]

Club is so versatile until you get into Mistlands.

[foggy glacier]

I'm using the porcupine.

[wide zodiac]

fr. I had to ask for help yesterday just to get my items back

[uncut bough]

frostner is still very strong in mistlands

[uncut bough]

it happens

[foggy glacier]

It's so slow though.

[uncut bough]

knockback is good to not get swarmed by enemies

[foggy glacier]

Honestly, you don't necessarily need root armor in plains if you get a serpent scale shield.

With both root armor and the serpent shield, the 'squitos are nothing.

[uncut bough]

he just needs root armor, that alone makes him basically deathsquito repellant

[wide zodiac]

whats better serpent shield or iron buckler

[foggy glacier]

true, unless you're low hp. You're still risking getting staggered without the shield.

[uncut bough]

reduce pierce dmg by half is no joke

[deep badger]

Is this game getting ashlands anytime soon??

[uncut bough]

banded shield

[foggy glacier]

Timing the parry is tough with the buckler. I like the serpent shield for the pierce resist.

[uncut bough]

unless you are a devout parrying practicianer , then buckler all the way

[foggy glacier]

I prefer banded shield until I can get the blackmetal round shieidl.

[uncut bough]

and serpent shield is a tower shield, so it can't parry

remember that, so dont go parry with serpent shield

that is why i use banded shield, it do both very well,

[foggy glacier]

it does.

[wide zodiac]

why do you prefer the banded shield over the iron buckler?

[foggy glacier]

if you're taking multiple hits, you can't parry them all. the Banded shield gives you better block armor and force if you can't time the parry.

[uncut bough]

iron buckler is all about parrying, not blocking, so you might get staggered or take more dmg using buckler if you block with it

[foggy glacier]

I've honestly never bothered with a buckler.

[uncut bough]

and if you are, as i am, not TOO well versed in combat so i can't parry anything 100% of the time, then you will take damage, a LOT, that you might block with banded shield

[foggy glacier]

except to display on a wall.

[uncut bough]

banded shield let you have the flexibility of being able to block on demand, while also let you parry if needed

the only thing about banded shield is that the parry power is lower than buckler and the parry bonus is also lower, but that is all risk and rewards

and i choose medium risk and medium reward, it works well for me till now

And hey there might be parry purists out there that makes use of buckler everytime, but that is not for me

[foggy glacier]

Same

[oak river]

i dont like bucklers

[azure yacht]

Yes, between now and 01/07/24

[wide zodiac]

will i have to make a new world to get the new content?

[foggy glacier]

Not necessarily.

[oak river]

no

[foggy glacier]

If you've explored any ashlands, that probably won't update.

[azure yacht]

Nope

https://valheim.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands/

[foggy glacier]

but if you stay away from the south pole for now, you should be fine.

[plain bane]

If you have really good reflexes, bucklers are practically invincibility shields. Until you make a mistake.

Banded shield's got a bit of padding in case you botch that two star goblin swing, but imo it's more fun to roll the dice with the buckler and die in hilarious ways when you fail.

Also staggering enemies 4x your height is just hilarious

[paper marsh]

Even with perfect reflexes tho bucklers won't negate damage if you're not eating right or using the wrong buckler, against the wrong enemy

[plain bane]

Why wouldn't you be eating the best available food in combat anyway

Oops, meant to untick the ping.

Either way 90% of my time in Valheim is farming because serotonin

[paper marsh]

Some people hate farming food. And some people like stamina food

Buckler parries fail a lot for me, but that's probably besides the point because that's on Very Hard

[neat fractal]

can i parry a troll with a flint knife (urgent)

[plain bane]

Blegh. Farming is like one of the few peaceful moments in this game heh. Couldn't imagine not doin it

[plain bane]

Never tried. One way to find out!

[wanton sigil]

Most likely not

[neat fractal]

i guess its time to die like a viking

[plain bane]

I imagine with enough food you could probably stagger it at least but I'm guessing you're gonna take a good bit of damage

That being said, don't try to parry the crush attack.

[wanton sigil]

If you time it right you can dodge roll the trolls attacks, no need to attempt a parry

[paper marsh]

Most likely not unless you have 200+ hp

[neat fractal]

i know but then how will i get that sweet dopamine hit from the parry sound effect

[wanton sigil]

That is a good point

[paper marsh]

Gotta get a bronze shield and decent health food before you wanna go parrying trolls

[wanton sigil]

[neat fractal]

yeah so far ive been kiting it around and doing the secondary attack for decent chip damage, it just gets boring after a while

[paper marsh]

now sneak attacking it with secondary attack from your knife, that's the real strat

[neat fractal]

if i wanna play kiting simulator ill go play dst

[paper marsh]

Wrong person, same point

[uncut bough]

Just caught a quality 4 anglerfish from boat and i gotta say, even if the line was cast for 2 meters, it just drains stamina down the drains, it went from 175 ish to 10-20 stamina just trying to reel in the anglerfish quality 4 for just 2 meters

Actually maybe it was 3 meters but i swear it drains stamina so fast

[paper marsh]

Gets a ton easier with higher fishing skill, but yea high quality fishing needs good stamina food and stamina potions

[uncut bough]

Man with fishing being this absurd, fish in ashlands gonna be “hooked” to “lost catch “ after reeling the line for 5 milimeters

[paper marsh]

Hooks lvl 5 ashland fish

Turns out to be a fiery Kraken

[ember panther]

Found a tetra pool in a frost cave that is basically straight to the right of the entrance. After finding a frozen lake that didn't have any fish able pool at all

[rustic cairn]

need peeps to fight modor

[merry pebble]

Try making post in #1024264966712340510 😄

[rustic cairn]

sounds like you need to go punch drakes. come with me

[ocean brook]

Do people use a mod manager for this game or all manual?

[paper marsh]

Typically a mod manager I'd say

[merry pebble]

Well even if i wanted i am not currently home 😄

[rustic cairn]

it's hardcoreeee...

[ocean brook]

If I wanted to start a new modded world with a friend, all we have to do is make sure both of us have the same mods installed correct?

[paper marsh]

Usually yeah. Some mods I think you don't have to share if they're just affecting your own UI or something like that

[hidden brook]

do people really use 100% scale gui?

killed 4 necks 0 tails

[paper marsh]

Necks don't have tails confirmed

[hidden brook]

unnecessarily funny lmao

bonemass is the easiest boss yet lmao

where do i craft wolf armor?

i cant find it in the workbench or the forge

ah i need silver

[silk rivet]

Forge, if you can't find it you probably haven't handled all the needed ingredients yet.

[hidden brook]

ive got a sick drake trophy tho

having no arm rest and playing games is horrible

[paper marsh]

true

[paper marsh]

not bad, you actually need that for making the silver helmet

[hidden brook]

my arms hurt so much 😭

[hidden brook]

so i cant hang it up on the wall rn 😭

[paper marsh]

😭

[hidden brook]

how does the wishbone work

ive got it on rn and im in the mountain

im on the highest point

[nocturne wolf]

Equip it, explore mountains, and find a spot where it creates a sound/glows fastest. Then start mining.

[hidden brook]

silver is more likely to be on mountain peaks no?

[nocturne wolf]

Anywhere on mountains, usually flat areas

[hidden brook]

i nearly died bc the game completely disregarded me clicking 4 to take out my mace

[paper marsh]

Has to be pretty high up yea. So best find a mountain that looks real tall. If you're seeing ||stone golem|| mobs, you're high enough. If you reach obsidian, silver will be just a bit higher than where obsidian starts

[hidden brook]

ohhh ok

stone golems... 😭

and theres a blizzard. great

[dreamy kiln]

Keep the Spirit up😎

[hidden brook]

also should i completely run away from golems?

[paper marsh]

heh, spirit, while looking for silver, sick pun

[nocturne wolf]

Not if you have a mace

[hidden brook]

how do i fight them? ive got lvl 2 iron mace

[paper marsh]

up to you. With your mace they shouldn't be too bad

[dreamy kiln]

Or use the good old pickaxe

[paper marsh]

I have pretty much no idea if you're able to parry it, but I think if you roll through one of its attacks and then secondary attack you can stagger it

[hidden brook]

oh also how do i roll?

[paper marsh]

Pickaxe works too, although definitely worse than mace

[nocturne wolf]

Block+jump on keyboard, block+B on controller

[hidden brook]

omds i thought it was crouch + jump

[dreamy kiln]

And maybe use bonemass buff at first attempt

[paper marsh]

it's kind of a weird keybind. Most games are just ctrl or space

[dreamy kiln]

True

[hidden brook]

how far do i typically dig down to get to silver?

the signals strongest in this spot im digging down and its a whole lotta nothin

[lunar sapphire]

2-4 metres?

not very far

depends if hilly though

[hidden brook]

hilly...

[paper marsh]

5-7 hits with a pickaxe maybe. Just dig until you can't anymore to be sure tho

[hidden brook]

im 100% sure im at the right spot but im so deep

im defo 2 of my characters deep

[paper marsh]

possible its just too deep but think that would be quite rare

It doesn't always ping silver, sometimes it's other things. Should still be there tho

[hidden brook]

ive reachers the bottom bottom

[paper marsh]

Dig around to the sides more

Also good news: Silver should be fairly plentiful, you don't need huge reserves of it, and its pretty easy to mine out (you can mine the ground out under it and then give it a wack, it'll all collapse. Very satisfying)

[hidden brook]

ok turns out i was totally wrong and since its my first time using it, the sound was alot lower than its supposed to be

thats a stone golem fucks sake

im nowhere close it wtf

hes coming straight for me i didnt even see him once

[paper marsh]

silly golems

[hidden brook]

i cant seem to get close enough to hit them thooo

like i roll a hit, get close, animation is too long and i get hit when i try to roll away

[nocturne wolf]

Try a jump attack
Sprint + jump forwards and attack to keep your speed during an attack animation

[hidden brook]

??

jump attack??

oooh okk

i found it

[paper marsh]

Space bar. Left click

(Not any special secret move, just helps being able to move as you’re hitting)

[hidden brook]

also shouldnt i get on its head to kill it?

i was told its a good way of solo killing it

[nocturne wolf]

You will probably fall off, but you can try

[hidden brook]

BAD IDEA BAD IDEA

[nocturne wolf]

Have you got bonemass power?

[hidden brook]

yes i activated it literally rn

[paper marsh]

Good idea, fun idea, dangerous idea

[nocturne wolf]

Try parrying it, if you have a banded shield or iron buckler

[hidden brook]

you can parry his attack?

[paper marsh]

You can parry almost all mobs attacks if you have a decent shield / decent health food

[nocturne wolf]

You can parry all blockable attacks

[hidden brook]

oh easyyy

[paper marsh]

Exception being like blobs and stuff that have weird attacks

[hidden brook]

haha shouldve told me you can parry him earlier :)))

took half his hp in quarter of the time

[nocturne wolf]

Don’t assume you can’t parry an enemy unless it has stars in plains or mistlands

[hidden brook]

he dead ashell but its turning night uh oh

[paper marsh]

I probably shoulda been clearer. I had no idea if you could parry it with your current gear bc I don’t play much normal mode or fight golems, but yes they can totally be parried

[nocturne wolf]

Always try to leave mountains at night, strong enemies and starred wolves will spawn.

[paper marsh]

You… don’t wanna be in mountains at night

[hidden brook]

i had 2 wolves slow me down luckily its not pitch black yet

now its one of those flying bastards oh my god

nvm it was already night time i forgot i had the frost resistance

i saw the green im in the green 🙏

ive got 4 iron so i can use it to discover recipes im so up

silver*

[paper marsh]

I think that’s exactly enough for a food upgrade

[hidden brook]

what food?

[paper marsh]

Although most the food you’ll need to find mountain veggies for too

[hidden brook]

iron for food?

[paper marsh]

Make a butchers table for cauldron upgrade

[hidden brook]

oooh ok

[paper marsh]

Might just have to grab some eyescream ice cream to celebrate surviving your first real mountain trip

[hidden brook]

dude i wanted to get some core wood and not fight another fucking troll

give me a damn break

petition to remove the greylings

[pure blaze]

is black marble more durale than stone? according to wiki a 1x1 stone block is the same durability as 1x1 black marble (1500hp)

i guess bl.marble should be more durable, no?

[paper marsh]

Yea it’s confusing. Took me a look just now to figure out too

Same health, but black marble is resistant to physical damage. Stone isn’t

So pretty much marble can tank twice the hits

[hidden brook]

what can i use crystals for other than windows

[paper marsh]

A two handed axe

[warm depot]

two handed axe <<<<

[paper marsh]

And later on a pretty lantern

That’s about it

[hidden brook]

kk ty

[atomic hatch]

How is everyone

[warm depot]

I only uses them for glass next to my bathtub so I can have a nice bath next to the landscape inside, warming up :comfy_pepe:

no space in my house, i have a humble abode

[paper marsh]

Good, tired tho

Goodnight gang!

[atomic hatch]

Gn

I haven’t slept in 18 hours 💀

[hidden brook]

goodnight

[hidden brook]

woke up 8pm and im tired at 8 am

[atomic hatch]

But Tbf Tis a lovely morning and it’s mid tide

[hidden brook]

mid tide?

[atomic hatch]

Halfway between full and low

[hidden brook]

you live by the ocean or smt?

[atomic hatch]

Hence mid tide

[atomic hatch]

Yep right next to it

[hidden brook]

nice nice

[atomic hatch]

When it storms it’s crazy

[hidden brook]

not surprised at all lmao

[atomic hatch]

Because it nothing but ocean for a long way

Like across to America

So there is nothing stopping the tide from being harsh except the wind coming from the north

Which just makes it really cold💀

[hidden brook]

yeah the freezing weather is a big downside to living by the shore

[atomic hatch]

Yeah like it’s 9°c rn

But I also live close to a harbour so I get to see cool ships coming in and out

Military/cargo/cruise ect

[hidden brook]

sounds cool

[hidden brook]

whats the best SSH for mountains?

[hardy junco]

guys what is this patch they gave?

what did they change in this patch?

[toxic rose]

Add "food" suffix to not confuse people.
If look only raw values (ignore cost and mb even duration)
Before mountain visit: turnip stew, muckshake, serpent stew
After mountain visit: eyescream, onion soup, serpent stew

[odd aurora]

suh

[hidden brook]

Alright thanks, where do i find onions? I get in the mountains but where?

... where do chests spawn

Alr thank you

[sand meteor]

whats the first bronze weapon you guys make? for me its the mace, curious what others use

[hidden brook]

pretty sure i did pickaxe

[grizzled wing]

Axe technically, but I personally skip bronze weapons as I'm keeping swords for ashlands and I don't care for atgiers. Bronze is such a grind but basically opting out of the weapons makes it much shorter

[hidden brook]

personally i think they should put copper or tin in the meadows

one of them hence the or

i never knew how to repair.... until now

[grizzled wing]

I don't think that really solves the time issue

[hidden brook]

or another solution, bronze is a 1:1 of copper:tin except of 2:1 of copper:tin

[grizzled wing]

Maybe, but i think most people just waste too much bronze on weapons/upgrades they don't need

[hidden brook]

oh yeah i definitely did

spent too many hours overnight going for copper and tin

[nocturne wolf]

I never upgrade past level 3 on anything, it’s too expensive

[grizzled wing]

It's only worth if you know you're using it for 2 or more biomes

even better would be if you could pick them up and grill them

[hidden brook]

most useless creatures in the game lol

[fair cairn]

eat them untill you unlock foods that need that

[hidden brook]

really? im already past it basically

[serene talon]

you also need a mountains item for the bed

[hidden brook]

ooooh

oh i see now yeah thanks

[grizzled wing]

Oh yeah i forgot, i did mountains a little early so I already have the recipe

[serene talon]

i often forget that the second bed even exists

[hidden brook]

im so bored of the first one lmao

do i use more dura digging out the silver ore then dropping it or just mining it straight up?

these flying ice demons whatever the fuck they are are lifesavers from the stone golems

[serene talon]

they are called drakes

[hidden brook]

funny ass name but alr

another stone golem? i just killed one man

oh my god im in a silver ore ditch cus im digging it out and he was ontop of me and walked past

he heard me but now hes neutral and im scared

[serene talon]

stone golems appear out of thin air thats why i hate them

[hidden brook]

oh yeah same

frick stone golems

oh dude im totally safe in this ditch lmaoo he cant do anything

uhm ok i shouldnt have kept mining the ditch bc he fell down 😭

[lunar sapphire]

Classic

[hidden brook]

can a man not get some silver in peace???

i just shit myself omg

[lunar sapphire]

each cling, clang, cling of the pickaxe = free meat batman signal

[hidden brook]

i was mining i thought a golem leg fell down bit it was a tree

another fucking golem are you joking

[lunar sapphire]

You understand this server is PG13+ right?

[loud valve]

Wait till you get surprises in mistlands

[hidden brook]

uuuh

[lunar sapphire]

use of swear words (in this amount) are a no no

[hidden brook]

is freaking acceptable

[lunar sapphire]

If you feel the need to say it sure

but it's not that hard 😄

[hidden brook]

3 golems in a row is surely a need to say it

this has got to be a joke

3 stone golems in a row, 2 drakes, and now ive got 4 wolves on me at once

got to be having a laugh....

[scarlet token]

Yeah,mountains hold a lot of fun😂

[hidden brook]

yeaaaahhh... fun

[half dragon]

Hmm.. any good unlimited light sources?

[nocturne wolf]

Wisp torches and wards

[half dragon]

guess I'll wait for wisps to start lighting up my buildings

wards look way too bulky for my taste lol

[dense apex]

Sertling / Brenna trophy. But it is not as much light as I would like. Also the swamp key in item stand 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

They're expensive but some people put dverger circlets in item stands

[plush umbra]

At least gold is infinite on a world

[supple jasper]

I've come around to really liking the mistlands btw; they give you a lot of materials to allow you to catch up; the only real issue is the view distance with the wisp and I think the carapace set just sucks

I've barely felt an upgrade going from padded to carapace armor

[uncut bough]

ASHLANDS UPDATE IS RE- wait nvm it is just news

[vocal rivet]

As you will know, we already have a patch in PTB that at the very least will need clearing first.
