valheim-chat

[maiden fog]

At least we know that ashlands is close :)

I think this month we will know at least WHEN

[vocal rivet]

Or the next, or maybe even in June.

As long as needed to iron out most of the bugs, and certainly all of the game-breaking ones.

[maiden fog]

This GETTING READY article is too suspicious, i think we're close

[vapid wyvern]

30.6.2024

[vocal rivet]

Can we not make baseless predictions?

[maiden fog]

Why not? :)

I want to believe :D

[vocal rivet]

Becuase people see them, assume they're real and then cause a scene when it turns out not to be true.

[maiden fog]

Oh, that definately takes place. Sorry :) But i want to believe!

[vocal rivet]

Oh, of course, I fully appreciate that. We'd all prefer it sooner than later. But until we get a date (assuming we even get one) there's no point guessing.

[maiden fog]

That's fun, we're seriously discussing DATE, not even actual release :D

That's hard to believe, but i want to believe...

Anyway, i hope dev's polish everything and give us another gem, i'm tired of explaining my friends that it's not easy to polish everything before giving it to ~30k people

[azure yacht]

We've seen more than a few people coming here and talking about "I heard the update will be released on X day", which makes it easy to believe that the misinformation spreading does happen.

[velvet gull]

I heard the updated will be released on April 26, 2024 at 2 PM EST

[half dragon]

now I just need to guess how many black metal chests to dedicate to each resource... was thinking of 3 for regular wood but then I remembered that's very unlikely to be enough 😂

[lunar sapphire]

I hope we get a date, considering Mistlands randomly dropped one evening during December

think it was the ptb version too

[azure yacht]

I'd rather be pleasantly surprised with a "gameplay trailer in X hours" and then die of impatience by the time it comes

And then ptb is released alongside it.

Just like mistlands

[tough nacelle]

My hubby was just on a business vacation... (I was not happy and there was a lot of cursing)
But when he got back I sat him on his chair and said "les GO!".

[half dragon]

12 black metal chests for normal wood... surely that's enough?

[lunar sapphire]

How dare he go on an all work expense paid trip!

[tough nacelle]

He should have known! -shakes fist- 😆

[lunar sapphire]

💰

[maiden fog]

Let's idle talk. We're on idle anyway. I think 27e15 will be enough

[tough nacelle]

But it was great to have Mistlands. Can't wait to get Ashlands too.

[half dragon]

I like it how they've also made changes to earlier parts of the game since I started

such as adding more light armor, some new weapons... and some stuff I forgor

oh and food duh

also more parry shields

[maiden fog]

Huh. BTW. Who else waiting for update, just to not get tired of Valheim before it comes?
I can play only one walkthrough of full game like .. once in year\ half year sometimes. Then i got tired and can't force myself to play even if i WANT to play valheim...
So if i finish one walkthrough now, then i will play propably next year.. that's why i waiting this update so much lol

[half dragon]

I started about 2 weeks ago in preparation for this update. By the time the update comes out I only might be ready for it

[maiden fog]

did you know that new world is better?

[ornate sentinel]

It's why I'm currently binging on Helldivers 2, then switched to Stardew. Waiting on that new Valheim update as well!

[half dragon]

doesn't make much of a difference as long as you do not explore ashlands

[maiden fog]

oh waaaait, after update we can keep characters right? And just create new world

[half dragon]

you can keep both if you do not explore ashlands

[maiden fog]

But what about mods? I can't play without them... i'm not sure that they will not ask for new world :c

[half dragon]

but creating a new world wouldn't be completely bad idea either. you could get all the resources ready and start building new stuff there

[maiden fog]

But at least idea of preparing, then just take all what i need and move to new world looks nice

[half dragon]

at least I would like to just jump into Ashlands when it comes out

I've had a long break so Mistlands is new content to me as well. Would be 10/10 to experience both back to back

[snow raptor]

Any mods you guys recommend. Im gonna try modded for the first time.

[frigid gust]

#mods-discussion is probably the best place to ask that

[narrow mountain]

ASHLANDS!!!! SOOON!!!! can't wait!

[hasty shale]

Excuse me, guys. I have a question. I play on xbox. My brother plays on PC and hasn't had any problems. yesterday, when we wanted to play together, we didn’t succeed because we had different versions. my brother has 0.217.38, and I have 0.217.39. I didn't find any information on the Internet. please tell me what does this mean?

[half dragon]

it means that xbox got an update that PC doesn't have yet, or you haven't updated your game yet

which means you cannot play together until you're both on same version of the game...

yea, 0.217.38 seems to be the latest one for PC

[hasty shale]

Oh, got it. Is there any information when the update will be released on PC?

[half dragon]

should be soon if it's the version that's in the beta branch right now?

[odd helm]

In this specific case, Xbox has a slightly mismatched number because of an update that they specifically needed. However, both .38 and .39 should have the same network version, which means they should play together in multiplayer.

PTB is .46

[half dragon]

Well... whatever the issue is, it should be temporary unless something is broken in the files or issue with mods if either of you use any

[hasty shale]

however, I checked with other servers on version 217.38, and I was never able to connect(

[odd helm]

In this case, you're the Xbox player trying to join a Steam-hosted game? Make sure that the host has crossplay enabled for you to be able to join.

[maiden fog]

it's time to check your files integrity and try to disable ur firewall(don't forget to enable it afterwards)

[odd helm]

If you're still having issues then, it could either be mods used by the host or simply playfab having some kind of issue - there's been a bunch of that going on lately it seems.

[maiden fog]

Also, logs. Inspect them. I don't know if it's possible, but clean beplnex version maybe be able to connect to vanilla? If so, you can se what happening at the moment of connection

[hasty shale]

yes, that's right. cross-play is enabled, everything always worked

[odd helm]

Do not install Bepinex just for diagnosis, it can cause issues on its own

Your log file will have anything you need

[hasty shale]

ok, thank you all very much for your help! I'll try the suggested options. If you don't help me, I'll just wait

[odd helm]

Unfortunately it could be any number of network or playfab issues. If you still have problems connecting today, try searching in #valheim-help for similar issues in the past or asking again.

[uncut bough]

oh my god i hate mistlands so much ;-;

i had better times dwelling in infested mines rather than walk outside and then hear fireball getting spammed in my direction

although Gjall looks really cool

looks like an oversized butt that detached from the ancient creatures because they refused to die

[azure yacht]

"I'm trying to fly around.

But I'm dummy thicc

And the clap of my ass cheeks keep alerting the viking"

[uncut bough]

that gjall ussy is dummy thicc

inapropriate jokes might stop here if mods don't allow it

[maiden fog]

Why so many peoples use flowers in their names?

[uncut bough]

infected with flowers

[vocal rivet]

It's Spring.

[uncut bough]

it is a type of incurable flu, bestowed upon by Sniffler

[vocal rivet]

Well, it's Spring for half the world anyway.

[uncut bough]

you are telling me that the other half of the world is Winter/ Summer/ Autumn?

[maiden fog]

Spring? We had snow yesterday

[vocal rivet]

Yes, snow can happen in Spring.

[azure yacht]

Cult of the Blooming Flower

[maiden fog]

Flowers infection seems more real

[vocal rivet]

Autumn, yes.

I sincerely hope that ISN'T actually news to you.

[uncut bough]

it is infection, and you should run because once you are infected, you are basically dead

no that is olds to me

[vocal rivet]

Good good, I was getting worried.

[maiden fog]

Looks like i have resist, it named "you can't change name on this server"

[hidden brook]

how did everyone get silver without spawning golems... 3 in one run is crazy

[maiden fog]

How did everyone get silver without golems? They are literally pickaxe 2.0

[hidden brook]

they cannot destroy silver

[uncut bough]

use iron pickaxe, aint that hard

[hidden brook]

on what

i am so confused 😂

[maiden fog]

Wait what? I played VH too long ago to remember sorry, joke screwed :c

[hidden brook]

yeah i mean i was mining a silver deposit and had 3 golems spawn in a row

killed one, another, killed, another, ran away

[maiden fog]

just mine em too

imagine that they are silver

[hidden brook]

its not that easy 😭

although i wish it was

[vocal rivet]

It really is, just press the use button whilst holding a pickaxe.

[half dragon]

the longer you stay in same area the safer it becomes because more and more enemies spawn out of reach when you kill stuff

specifically in mountains and other biomes with abundant obstacles like rivers

[hidden brook]

ah alr thanks

[half dragon]

Btw has the bug been fixed where parts of your building could collapse when you walk into the area it is in, due to loading the building only partially?

[uncut bough]

man damn it my game crashed while i am sailing

[hidden brook]

do birds land at the same rate if its raining compared to thunderstorms?

[uncut bough]

i better be not spawned off my boat or the boat despawns when i log back in

[uncut bough]

if it is dark, yea

raining turns the sky dark as well, so it makes bird spawns more too

[hidden brook]

ok good ty 🙏

oh yeah i dropped 2 already

[uncut bough]

how to get free feathers in Valheim
Step 1: go to setting
Step 2: Select "Free feathers"

[hidden brook]

it worked ty

[uncut bough]

man i am not sure i will ever need any other bolts rather than bone bolts

there are just so many bone fragments to not dump it all on bolts, and it is VERY abundant

[warped wing]

so it seems we wont have to make new world once ashlands arrives. as long as you havent already explored ashlands - it will be ok?

[uncut bough]

killing skellies, collecting skelly remains, the skelly structure in tar pit

[uncut bough]

yes, you won't have to make new world

[warped wing]

characters that were made before ashlands - they wont work - but im fine with that. adds to the adventure 🙂

i already have running at 70 😂

[vocal rivet]

Of course they will.

Why wouldn't they?

[half dragon]

was able to restore a legacy character from 2 years ago just fine

[warped wing]

oh wow 😮

that's super interesting

also unrelated... does anyone know how to get rid of dandelions spawning in your house? 😅

[hidden brook]

"no you cant but you can use stone foundations to cover it" - i forgot

[vocal rivet]

You could always cultivate the ground.

[hidden gorge]

cultivating the ground doesn't prevent dandelions last I checked

[grave wagon]

I get dandelions in my farm so I'm not sure that works, unless I have a speck that isn't cultivated.

[vocal rivet]

Hm, there was definitely something you could, maybe it wasn't that then.

[grave wagon]

I remember people tried to pathen it but that doesn't work either.

[hidden gorge]

constructions covering it might be the only way?

although I do remember one stick I could never get rid of in my stone basement

[vocal rivet]

forcedelete Pickable_Dandelion would work if you have devcommands available.

[warped wing]

yeah i heard of that one too

[uncut bough]

Consider it a perk, food for chicken, recipe for some mead, or obliterator fuel

[strange gust]

So Is Ashlands Update Just around the corner ?

[uncut bough]

If you consider around the corner of a circle, yea

[merry pebble]

it will come out somewhere in next three months

[uncut bough]

Fighting serpent with arbalest is slightly harder than i thought

[paper marsh]

yea it can be problematic how low it shoots

[dry eagle]

wait the PTB is out rn?

[paper marsh]

for ashlands, no

[dry eagle]

oh damn

[vocal rivet]

There's a PTB patch to be tested though, it's just not Ashlands.

[uncut bough]

DAMN IT my game crashed while sailing and it spawned me at HOME

i better not lose the dang boat cuz i put my anglerfish there and a lot of metal ores

[frigid gust]

Was it a server, or were you playing locally?

[uncut bough]

locally

[frigid gust]

It probably rolled everything back to the last time you saved successfully, so up to half an hour 😕

[uncut bough]

i think the boat is actually gone

[uncut bough]

it still has the spoils i got before sailing

nooooooo my boat, now i cant even find it

[frigid gust]

It's likely somewhere along the path where you were sailing it last.

[uncut bough]

man scratch that i am leaving the game, for the first time i am using fly command to try to locate the boat but no dice

[paper marsh]

can always spawn it in

[pure ermine]

Are ballistas still bugged and shooting players?

[uncut bough]

no bug, a feature, and yes

[paper marsh]

It's not a bug, but yes

[latent wraith]

Working as intended, yes.

[paper marsh]

To fix the "bug", interact with them while holding a trophy

[uncut bough]

point is i have a lot of items in the boat, like metal ores and all the anglerfish

[paper marsh]

Ye that's why I say to spawn it in if it was valuable to you

[uncut bough]

i cant spawn back what i don't know

[paper marsh]

ah

[uncut bough]

THERE IS NO WAY TO SPAWN ANGLERFISH

i am losing my mind

[vocal rivet]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[uncut bough]

i got anglerfish quality 1,3,4 yesterday with a pufferfish, game crashed while sailing, return to find that item is lost

it was a hard struggle catching level 4 anglerfish too, i can't afford to lose it

[merry pebble]

you should be able to do "spawn fish9 1 4" command i think, if you really want to

that should give you 1 lvl4 angler fish i believe

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, that'd do it.

[uncut bough]

i only not just want to, i actually need it, a personal achievement it was

[plush umbra]

The bigger achievement would be doing it again

[uncut bough]

it took me long time to locate anglerfish, let alone a level 4

it can't be done easily , it drains stamina like crazy

[vocal rivet]

In any case, we have a solution now.

[half dragon]

Found a curse spot with 4 damn pits right next to each other... well that sounds like a not me problem and a future me problem

think that'll be a nice spot for collecting tar regularly with a fire staff

[frigid gust]

Sounds like a tar farm to me...

[half dragon]

just need to somehow survive that amount of tar slimes first... don't think I want to deal with that until I get a ember staff

[paper marsh]

could always bow cheese them

[frigid gust]

Bow off to the side, pull a couple towards you at a time, then put campfires around their pit after you've cleared them so they don't respawn. Easy peasy.

[magic trout]

Soooo was playing earlier and I couldn't kill a deer 🤦🏻‍♀️ closer inspection the deer was tamed 🤷🏻‍♀️ no clue what happened long story short the tamed deer is dead after using the butchers knife 😂 oh this was Xbox as well so no mods lol

[frigid gust]

Playing locally, or on a server?

[merry pebble]

was it on sever with pc users?

[vocal rivet]

You can't tame deer.

[magic trout]

I know this hence the shock 😂

[dense steppe]

[magic trout]

My private server

[magic trout]

Yes but there are no pc player on there right now

[frigid gust]

If a PC player could connect, it's possible they spawned it with a client-side mod. Valheim has very little protection against things like that.

[uncut bough]

accidentally pressed crouch while on the longboat, and then saw the eye icon

i was so spooked so i looked behind, saw a serpent with the yellow icon, so i shot it once with arrow and got the crit dmg, reducing it to half health

[fading wing]

When ashlands eventually comes out, do you need to start a brand new server to have it rolled in the world?

[magic trout]

Nope it's a whitelisted server with no pc players on it yet as my friends hasn't been able to play yet

[magic trout]

There was an update with this information in #news

[uncut bough]

and the wind changed into head wind....fantastic

[magic trout]

I try to clip it but I was so confused by the time I thought to it was to late

[dense steppe]

this is Odin's miracle

[fading wing]

Ok so i read this in the one blog... you haven’t explored the Ashlands, you should get the new content, but we always recommend that you start a new world for the best possible experience

[merry pebble]

yep

[fading wing]

So, in my world, we still havent even gotten to plains, still fairly new to this game so alot of world isnt explored, so it should have ashlands get added into it?

[uncut bough]

wooo and the rain just turned from medium rain to thunderstorm, cool, now i am stuck in headwind while having the chance to see more serpent

[dense steppe]

Perhaps mommy pig walked with daddy deer and didn’t say anything to daddy pig, as a result of which a deer-pig was born

[merry pebble]

they are already there, but they should update just fine in that case 😄

[fading wing]

Oh whaat really

[frigid gust]

Yeah, you should be perfectly fine. Just don't head down south too far in your world and you will get the new content. Stay mostly east and west in your exploration 😉

[fading wing]

Ok sweet, cuz i don't wanna roll a new world lol

[merry pebble]

yep, tho they are just barren wasteland at the moment

[uncut bough]

I FREAKING CALLED IT

another serpent

[fading wing]

Is there somewhere i can share of screenshot of my map to see if i havent gone too far south. I did explore down south a bit but i think its still on the main starting island, i found hildir down south than stopped going further

[dense steppe]

Ashlands are already on any map, but they are in the form of blanks and without mobs and plants

[uncut bough]

probably spawned from the thunderstorm, and the last one spawned from light rain

[frigid gust]

#screenshots is the place for it

[fading wing]

Alrighty

[uncut bough]

and the wind still blows against me, why is the game like this

[dense steppe]

#screenshots message the red part of the map is ashlands

[half dragon]

pray to smiffe for tailwind, Smiffe has tail, and tailwind has word tail in it, so it has to make sense

has worked 3 times for me

[fading wing]

Ooo thanks, thats handy to see

Is north mistlands?

[half dragon]

nope

mislands is all over the place like plains, just a bit further away from starting island, usually

[dense steppe]

no, the north is another location in the preparation, the Far North, don’t go there either

[fading wing]

Gotcha

[vocal rivet]

Literally just pre-rolled RNG.

[hidden gorge]

yet somehow it still knows to always blow in your face

[half dragon]

The game knows ahead of time where you're going, the only explanation

Even before you know which way you're planning to go

[hidden gorge]

theres a website that you can put in the day your on and it'll tell you which way its blowing when

very helpful, forget the name of it off the top of my head tho

[fading wing]

Got a link for this?

Or anyone lol

[hidden gorge]

https://jerekuusela.github.io/valheim-weather/

[dense steppe]

but this is useless information

[hidden gorge]

there was another one that was better

[vocal rivet]

http://valheim.kirilloid.ru/weather#1

[neat fractal]

just use moder's power

[vocal rivet]

How is it useless?

[uncut bough]

most likely because you don't really plan around wind while sailing

[hidden gorge]

that's it

[uncut bough]

since wind changes every 5 mins or sth

[vocal rivet]

You really should be.

[uncut bough]

not factual time of how often wind change, just imo

[neat fractal]

i thought everyone did that

[vocal rivet]

Or learn to tack at the very least.

[dense steppe]

there is such a word, it means something that there is no need to use and that does not provide any benefit

[hidden gorge]

oceans are kinda small for tacking though (and it's quite slow, but yeah -- better than nothing)

[vocal rivet]

Well, it certainly provides a benefit.

[dense steppe]

just change tacks and maneuver between wind currents and you can sail anywhere, regardless of wind direction

[vocal rivet]

Or stick it into first gear and row, no wind required.

[blissful schooner]

i forgor how annoying bonemass is

hands down my least liked boss

[vocal rivet]

Just stand on his altar and pelt him with arrows until cooked.

[frigid matrix]

Hi, still no date for Ashlands right?

[fallen zephyr]

Moder for me, by a lot. If Moder is not being annoying, they're being buggy. It's a pain.

[dense steppe]

it is much faster to zigzag the distance, changing tacks, than to row with an oar

[vocal rivet]

The date is still first half of 2024.

[fallen zephyr]

Ashlands is an incel.

[frigid matrix]

👍🏻

[vocal rivet]

Please, no.

[blissful schooner]

sounds tedious

[fallen zephyr]

I don't manufacture the news, I just report it. 😛

[blissful schooner]

i literally had to craft a mace just because my iron atgeir or abyssal razor are just not viable now matter how hard i try to cope

[neat fractal]

well yeah, thats kind of how weaknesses and resistances work

[vocal rivet]

And that word (and those people) have nothing to do with Valheim and no place here.

[fallen zephyr]

I've killed the Mistlands boss, and I still equip an axe over my Mistweaver if I encounter an Abomination in the swamp.

[fallen zephyr]

Ok fair. Maybe just be clearer with your objection in the first instance.

[blissful schooner]

and thats why he is annoying

speaking of, an abommination did indeed join the fight fml

[neat fractal]

you know bosses arent supposed to be easy right? it wouldnt be a challenge if you could use whatever you wanted

[hidden gorge]

vs bonemass even a wooden club would be better

[paper marsh]

a lvl 3-4 club is doable too if you don't want to pour metals into making a mace

[blissful schooner]

When did I say he is supposed to be easy

[fallen zephyr]

Jesus! Imagine Valheim as (at its core) a survival game, with souls-like bosses.

[blissful schooner]

I just stated that he is annoying thats literally all i said

I can say that without starting a discussion on balance

[neat fractal]

at least you're not forced to fight them

[vocal rivet]

You can't win the game without doing so, so you kinda are.

[neat fractal]

can you really win in valheim?

[vocal rivet]

Well, not yet, it's not finished. But yes, there'll be an endgame.

[hidden gorge]

when the game is finished, yes, that's the plan

[neat fractal]

its not like the game is done once you kill everything

[vocal rivet]

It will be.

[warped wing]

do i need to kill bonemass first before mining silver?

[hidden gorge]

technically no

[vocal rivet]

But it'll make it a lot easier.

[paper marsh]

If its your first time playing I would highly recommend it

[hidden brook]

mountain dungeons potentially the most useless and easiest thing in the game?

[blissful schooner]

abommination down, back to bonemass who spared no minions while i was kiting him

[frigid gust]

...they're how you get Fenris armor, one of the best armor sets in the game. Plus claws to make cool standing braziers.

[light moat]

I guess they’re the least necessary as far as POIs/dungeons go? But they’re one of my favorite things in the game.

[hidden brook]

im talking like fights sorry

and the loot from the enemies not the dungeon itself so mb shouldve clarified 😂

[fallen zephyr]

Not when you realise you can destroy the doors in a frost cave for iron bars.

[hidden brook]

i have never turned around quicker

[vocal rivet]

The loot is definitely from the dungeon itself.

[fallen zephyr]

Did you get light-headed?

[frigid gust]

Ehh... when you're in mountain-tier gear they're fairly tough. Even more so if you go in with iron armor or even more risky, root.

[hidden brook]

theyre so easy in iron

[fallen zephyr]

#valheim-chat is spicy tonight! 😄

[hidden brook]

idk what that means but sure 🔥

[light moat]

It’s daylight 😁

[empty bison]

branded shield is ,,iron shield,, right? Best one from iron

[fallen zephyr]

It's been a while since I've seen varied opinions being expressed so freely for a while.

[half dragon]

I did that and got nothing... never attempted that again 😂

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/whatchu-talkin-about-willis-arnold-jackson-diffrent-strokes-what-are-you-trying-to-say-willis-what-is-that-willis-gif-26301765

It's not even lunchtime...

[hidden brook]

its 5pm

[blissful schooner]

ok nvm bonemass is piss easy and annoying, i dont fight him more than i have to so i just realized all i need to do is bait out his swing attack and i get to punish him for free

[hidden brook]

i have been awake since 8pm

[fallen zephyr]

Hey! Hey, hey, guys! I've got this radical idea! I call it TIMEZONES! Huh? Huh?

[hidden brook]

or get a metric fuck load of arrows, jump ontop the skull, and kill him

[blissful schooner]

usually fight him in multiplayer so never really strategized

[hidden brook]

what are those

[half dragon]

It's evenening duh, what else time it could be?

[fallen zephyr]

They're what NASA wants to put on the moon.

[hidden brook]

exactly

[frigid gust]

That's good if you want to boost your bow skill. Frost arrows are the only ones that'll reasonably kill him. Otherwise, hit him with a blunt object if you don't have an hour to waste.

[blissful schooner]

bruh 20 seconds of poison got me from 60to0 with mead

[fallen zephyr]

Can we talk about skill level? And, how levelling them is inherently inequitable?

[ornate sentinel]

We need arrows with punching mits at the end of them.

[fallen zephyr]

Are you a Warner Bros cartoon character?

[hidden brook]

normal iq human words?
(or even below average)

[sand bramble]

skill levels feel like a stat counter after a certain point. I like looking at it

[wraith sun]

skill also helps you deal more min and max damage with your specialized weapon

[fallen zephyr]

It's not my fault anyone reading my comment is on the wrong side of the normal distribution curve.

[hidden brook]

wha?

[sand bramble]

Helps with foresting. BAM tree down. Satisfying

[vocal rivet]

Or, y'know, not a native English speaker. Come on, do better.

[sand bramble]

precision strike

[blissful schooner]

got bonemass, fenris armor my beloved im coming

[hidden brook]

i know im a dumbass man you dont have to rub it in 😂

[placid rapids]

Greetings valheim fans, I gotta say this game is great

[heady vector]

yes

[blissful schooner]

getoutahere no way

[fallen zephyr]

I would refer them to the advice I gave you... be clearer in the first instance. If someone says to me, "My English is not great". I'll make every effort to be understood.

[vocal rivet]

Why should they have to? It's a safe assumption to work under until you know them better.

[heady vector]

perhaps a conversation for #general

[fallen zephyr]

You want me to assume members of an English-speaking Discord server don't speak English until proven otherwise? Confused Nathan Fillion GIF.

[vocal rivet]

That's not what I said, but effectively yes.

[frigid gust]

Let's just not be jerks, and assume positive intent. Very rarely are people coming here just trying to be jerks, give people the benefit of the doubt.

[hidden brook]

fenris armor sucks

[blissful schooner]

ban him

[frigid gust]

Ok, those there are fighting words... 😛

[hidden brook]

armor : 10 come on

[blissful schooner]

he is the one that comes here to be a jerk

[frigid gust]

Don't need armor if you can't get hit 😉

[hidden brook]

fists +15 who tfs gonna use that and moevement speed +3 thats gonna help so much 😂

[blissful schooner]

you equip clothes for the armor....?

[vocal rivet]

The movement speed is a huge increase if you have the full set.

[hidden brook]

okay you caught me there 😭

[fallen zephyr]

I've never tried a fist weapon build. Has anyone tried it and have some feedback?

[hidden brook]

i didnt realise it goes under armor 😂

[frigid gust]

Don't forget... that movement speed is relative to the -5% of basically any other piece you'd use instead. So you end up with an effective +8% movement compared to other armor, per piece.

[placid rapids]

guys what do i do after i got iron?

[plush umbra]

Kill the slime

[toxic rose]

Go to mountain

[frigid gust]

First step is to smelt it, and make some iron nails 😉 Then figure out what you want from there.

[warped wing]

spoken english all my life, and i still had no idea what he was saying 😂

[placid rapids]

well i got it smelted

[vocal rivet]

Well there we go.

[blissful schooner]

Thats it you won the game, iron nails are the final objective in game

[azure yacht]

climbs up a mistlands spire
Sees a dvergr camp being besieged by a gjall and unknown enemies that I didn't notice at the time
Sees they killed gjall and then noticed they're still struggling with the unknown enemies
Decides to fly down to help. Paratrooper style/looking cool af (angel of salvation)
Realizes that the unknown enemies are two 1-star seekers

:)

Angel of salvations needs to be saved

[blissful schooner]

i forgot how wolves work too, stunlocked to death instant

[placid rapids]

ah nice!

[blissful schooner]

atgeir impaling any wolves rushing my way, love it

[fallen zephyr]

We've just gone through Easter. Did you find a good use for those iron nails...?

[frigid gust]

Just let the seekers finish the job, they shouldn't be too bad to mop up afterwards 😉

[azure yacht]

They actually finished it the second I touched ground lol

[vocal rivet]

Yikes. You ARE spicy today.

[azure yacht]

I just ran around the camp sodding their attacks and then retreated to the nearby plains to "demand" the help from patrolling fulings

[blissful schooner]

didnt get the joke until this, but then again my family

celebrated easter by just making a shit ton of food and thats it this year

[vocal rivet]

I mean, joke is a stretch, but that's Moose for you.

[azure yacht]

Tho they really didn't help that much. In total they landed like two hits between both seekers, although one of them did kill a seeker which was nice

[frigid gust]

What kinda armor and weapons are you using? You in Mistlands tier yet? Ooze bombs really help.

[azure yacht]

Padded helmet, root harnesk and padded greaves.

But I didn't have much help with the food I ate so even with all that defense they would've still one shot me

I could've used the ooze bombs but I always try to save them

||which is just an excuse to say that I forgot I had them||

[fallen zephyr]

I'm bouncing around a bunch of things, trying to find where I can fit in here with an undercurrent of 'consciousness raising'. I won't be perfect, but I'll try.

[blissful schooner]

does silver spawn in higher up places, cause my short ass mountain does not have any it seems

[latent wraith]

110 or 120 metres minimum iirc.

[azure yacht]

Also, I noticed that that armor combo makes piercing attacks super manageable. And I'm playing on very hard.

Seeing a deathsquito hitting me with the same dmg as if it was normal difficulty is hilarious

[frigid gust]

Yes. Just slightly higher than obsidian, so if you see obsidian and drakes, you should be at the right altitude.

[blissful schooner]

i see

[warped wing]

so... is maypole just a decoration?

[vocal rivet]

It provides an extra point of comfort.

[hidden brook]

does treasure chest do anythin

[frigid gust]

Nope. Looks cool, though.

[toxic rose]

But if you don't see any building then probably mountain is very small for silver.
Or obsidian also don't spawn on small mountains, I don't remember.

[fallen zephyr]

It's pretty; if that's important.

[hidden brook]

alr thanks

[vocal rivet]

It's a good way of using up excess coins.

[fallen zephyr]

You know you're over-prepared for Ashlands when you're buying a stack of eggs from Haldor.

[uncut bough]

Serpent stew is still one of the best food in mistlands

And yea aside from having the misfortune to bump into serpent and have to fight for ur life, or actively hunting for it, it is not that easy to get now that i think of it

Also the wind, it is always rigged against u

[vocal rivet]

It's not, it's RNG.

[fallen zephyr]

Rigged? Hah! (Terrible boating joke)

[uncut bough]

Yes i know, but i still want to spread misinformation

[vocal rivet]

Why would you do that?

[blissful schooner]

its rigged

[fallen zephyr]

Is @uncut bough Donald Trump?

[toxic rose]

Moder + team of 4 vikings = victory over the wind

[opal river]

Anyone able to donate a fuling totem?

[fallen zephyr]

Sorry, I sold all of mine on Etsy as nightlights.

[toxic rose]

Just steal some from their villages

[latent wraith]

Just spawn it in if you don't want to search for it, faster than having someone else spawn one in for you. :p

[uncut bough]

Because it is a joke

I dont think saying something outrageous that everyone can tell that it is a load of bull, is still taken seriously

[uncut bough]

Duplicating myself rn

[opal river]

how do i spawn it?

[latent wraith]

#valheim-help message details how the console works.

[vocal rivet]

This Discord has countless instances of that definitely not being correct.

We STILL have people who think mobs can smell the player.

[latent wraith]

This includes Smiffe, which makes me uncertain whether the established fact of smell not being a thing is true or not.

[vocal rivet]

It's definitely not. They can see you and hear you and that's all the senses they have. And not all even have those two.

[fallen zephyr]

If we're talking about hardcore gamers, I find that entirely feasible. I think it's fortunate that Fulings and Seekers are not able to attend a convention.

[vocal rivet]

I... headdesk

[latent wraith]

Go to bed, Moose, you've not made any sort of sense in several hours.

[fallen zephyr]

It's not me, it's my audience. You Americans don't have the same sense of humour as the British/Australian/New Zealanders.

[plush umbra]

Those don’t even have the same humor amongst themselves

[latent wraith]

Calling me an American doesn't make me think you make any more sense, tbh.

[vocal rivet]

Who are you calling American?

[fallen zephyr]

That's not what I said. None of the three listed have the same sense of humour as the Americans.

[plush umbra]

It’s more of a Venn diagram of overlapping humor than it is black and white

[uncut bough]

Smiffle grab the popcorn

[plush umbra]

This discord definitely leans non-American though

[vocal rivet]

Are there ANY talking right now?

[uncut bough]

Men’t

[fallen zephyr]

Sorry, I didn't mean you. I presume you're actually a sentient life form from the closest 'Goldilocks' planet to Earth and are attempting to assimilate. 😛

[plush umbra]

Can an Australian translate for me?

[latent wraith]

Well, Americans are a small portion of the world's population, would be odd if they were in majority here.

[vocal rivet]

The fuck is that supposed to mean? I think Peg was right.

[plush umbra]

Besides that I think valheim is just too not American. There’s no guns and you actually have to work for your accomplishments

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, now I'm leaving. Happy Thursday, y'all.

[uncut bough]

Combatting stereotypes with more stereotypes

[vocal rivet]

So.. Valheim then?

[uncut bough]

This should go well

[copper lotus]

but you can find oil type substance in the desert and kill the locals for it

[vocal rivet]

OK, time for ModMail.

[latent wraith]

I think I own more guns than most Americans I know (2, hunting weapons, three if you count an air rifle, 4 if you count a water pistol).
I also think we've moved a bit away from Valheim related chat. :p

[uncut bough]

Mods, use Frostner and wack everyone in this chat

[half dragon]

There's just some things that majority of Americans do not preceive to be cool in the same way as other parts of the world... I herd that Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone had to be renamed to Sorcerer's Stone in USA because philosophers are lame nerds (not exactly, but you got the idea 😂 )

[fallen zephyr]

*whack. KTHXBAI!

[uncut bough]

Harry Pot and Philosopher Stoner

[vocal rivet]

You tried...

[eternal swan]

hi, is there a way to clear all the saves from the cloud fast^^??

[half dragon]

uhh... might be possible to wipe your Valheim cloud in steam? But haven't tried

[sand bramble]

H-hold up, wind direction doesn't affect how deer detect you? I've snuck up on deer to their faces with this tip. If it's not true damn that's a heck of a play and I'd like to be corrected 😳

[uncut bough]

Sometimes spotting system is horrible

You can be breathing down a mob’s neck and they would still chill, but other time you can be distant from the mob and they got the feeling u creepin on em

[sand bramble]

🥹 well HECK.

[half dragon]

nope. As far as I know that's USA only thing

[odd helm]

Y'all

Channel topic

Please

[dense steppe]

[ember panther]

It was philosphers stone in Canada 🍁

[chrome locust]

Where will the final biome be located when it eventually comes out? (just so we know and don’t explore that area in advance)

[half dragon]

the North, the opposite of Ashlands in south

[frozen void]

Its already in game

[half dragon]

At least the placeholder is

any easy way to relocate lox calf? Would harpoon work?

[frigid gust]

Harpoon works, but they take a decent amount of damage IIRC. Box it in and wait for it to mature, then use a saddle?

[half dragon]

there's supposed to be no team damage tho?

at least according to wiki need to use that knife to kill them

or do not calf count?

[hidden brook]

obsidian only for arrows or what?

[frigid gust]

You just need to enable friendly fire and you can use the harpoon

[half dragon]

oh so it doesn't attach to them without friendly fire?

[frigid gust]

There's a workbench upgrade, and frost and poison arrows too.

[hidden brook]

ah ok thanks

found my first chest in the mountains guys guess what sort of super rare mountain loot it had

2 pearls 1 ruby.

[frigid gust]

Doh. No onion seeds? That's the primary reason to look in those chests

[hidden brook]

i found a castleeee

i love how u can sprint up basically vertical walls lmao

[half dragon]

it's a bit pain in the ass that breeding them in a natural looking pen is far from effective due to the 4 limit...

kinda have to shove them into multiple small pens if you want more than just 2 to breed

unless could somehow move the little ones out of way

[hidden brook]

bruh no onion in a castle

5 frost arrows woo hoo

[fair cairn]

found my onion in a chest that was litterally on justa few floors

[hidden brook]

3rd chest still nothin

[wide zodiac]

Are earthen defense walls mandatory? They just look so ugly and tacky but at the same time I do still want my shit to not get destroyed

[hidden brook]

onion seeds legooo

what do those circular buildings do in the mountains

[dense steppe]

you can build a shelter in them

[hidden brook]

oh cool thanks

i just wanted to make a shelter why did a golem haveto spawn 😭

[dense steppe]

if you break a few stones in the floor, you can go deeper a couple more floors

[hidden brook]

you got a base layout for it? idk what to do for it

[dense steppe]

dig a small ditch around

[hidden brook]

inside i should mention?

[dense steppe]

you make a roof, make a chimney in the center, a staircase around it from bottom to top, a bed, a portal, a workbench, a couple of chests for silver

[ember panther]

Curious if boxing a baby lox in a box that the lox could not fit in when grown would the lox destroy the box?

[hidden brook]

thank u

[ocean brook]

What gameplay mods do people use these days since Valheim+ is outdated?

[solemn matrix]

It wouldn't break no, unless it was in combat or got unstuck in some way. (I assume)

I don't think lox will agro unless you are in their "bubble"

[half dragon]

there are other options, I prefer using both raising and lowering the ground. And 3rd option is digging moats

enemies cannot get over it as long as the moat is steep

[dense steppe]

cover them with stones

there is an earthen wall at the base, but it is not visible #screenshots message

[chrome locust]

ok ty bro

[slender dagger]

how do you know it will be the final biome

also what issues could i face if i dont create a new world but havent even been close to ashlands?

[half dragon]

There should be no issues with older worlds as long as you do not explore close to Ashlands

[slender dagger]

ah okay thanks

[half dragon]

apparently even are near Ashlands will be changed... turning into an ocean to make sure you cannot just walk there

[slender dagger]

well im only at mountains rn so that probably wont be a problem

(not like ive explored like 6 mountains with no boss runes or boss or anything)

[frigid gust]

Deep North is the "final" biome, but they haven't said what they're going to do with the Ocean, as it was originally slated to be the 9th biome.

[slender dagger]

ah okay, what i understood was that they wanted it to be special and their thought was that deep north wasnt what they had in mind, probably got it wrong tho

[half dragon]

the ocean is probably only going to remain a side biome that is not strictly requires for progression

but with more stuff so you'd want to go there and get stuff even if it's not necessary

[slender dagger]

when deep north come sout, will the game get out of beta?

[frigid gust]

Ehh... or something will unlock once you defeat the Deep North. I think they're still pretty certain they want 9 overall bosses/biomes.

[slender dagger]

how many is there after ashlands release?

[frigid gust]

No. Deep North is after Ashlands, then whatever they decide next, and then a cleanup pass to kind of make sure everything is balanced, etc., then 1.0

[slender dagger]

nono like how many biomes

[frigid gust]

There are 9 biomes now. Not sure what they'll do with the Oceans, though.

There won't be any new biomes or areas added as far as what I've heard the plans are, just fixes or changes to how they might behave

[regal spoke]

Derek the armor wiki looks like it's missing pieces

[vocal rivet]

Anything in particular?

[regal spoke]

Looks like carapace chest, wolf chest and legs, root chest and helmet

[round lichen]

do i need padded or is fully upgraded silver ok for mistlands

[paper marsh]

Depends on your skill

If you get a root harnesk (swamp light armor chestpiece) I'd say you're okay with silver helmet and pants

[round lichen]

is there a lot of pierce in mist?

[paper marsh]

The root chestpiece halves damage from a lot of mistlands enemies yea. Two most common enemies there do pierce

Probably bring a fire resist mead though to override the fire weakness, bc there's a lil bit of fire damage too that could kill you

Little known tip: Drinking a fire resist gives you 50% fire resist

But having fire weakness from root, and then drinking a fire resist, you STILL get 50% fire resist just as if you weren't wearing flammable wood on your chest

[unkempt osprey]

hey i am confused by the press releases mentioning ashlands in PTB....is this already out ? or coming to PTB? i cant get mine to update

[latent wraith]

No, they're talking about when Ashlands comes to the PTB.

[paper marsh]

Not out

[unkempt osprey]

i thought it was coming. some of the wording threw me off because they used lines like " when fully released " which made me think PTB was out

[round lichen]

also, i made a cartography table and when my friend recorded his findings, the whole map was exposed... is this a glitch?

[unkempt osprey]

not if his map is uncovered fully

[ember panther]

Your friend used some cheat to reveal everything

[unkempt osprey]

so do we have an ETA on the ashlands PTB?

[round lichen]

aw man. what an L

[unkempt osprey]

id start a new map tbt

[paper marsh]

only that it'll be here in less than 3 months

[thorny raft]

Is patch notes blank for anyone else btw?

[paper marsh]

Yea don't think they've posted any since server got hacked

[thorny raft]

F

[round lichen]

any idea when the major update drops?

[paper marsh]

in less than 3 months. Further guesses prob don't have too much basis

[serene talon]

most exact answer is when its done

[median pivot]

tried going to mountains

i tried ' n '

[paper marsh]

Tried going to mountains

Got traumatized

Will now retire to a peaceful meadows life

[round lichen]

clubs are my fav weapons

[paper marsh]

blunt damage and stagger is quite nice

My favorite weapon is knives tho

[ember panther]

Same. Always run with a knife

[round lichen]

im at porcipine and black metal shield with full silver

preparing for yag rn

[paper marsh]

pretty nice setup 👌

Sadly mountain club is better for yag and mistlands than porcupine

[ember panther]

Yag is so chaotic

[median pivot]

LITERALLY

[empty bison]

can be lizards bugged? I killed 8 of them and I have zero tails

[paper marsh]

Just bad rng likely

[median pivot]

lost all my stuff and my boat 😦

[empty bison]

its not 100%?

[median pivot]

so much running

[paper marsh]

70%

[paper marsh]

Make a new boat, sail back there, reconquer!

And get used to just placing portals in the first place so you can get back easy

[empty bison]

ahh ty, I thought I just forgot someetimes loot it, thats why I have lower than killed 😄

[median pivot]

i suppose

[ember panther]

Your stuff might still be there, I think tombstones float?

[paper marsh]

I'd assume they died in the mountain, but just "lost" their boat because its across an ocean and they don't have a means to get to it

[median pivot]

no ik where the boat it, its just far cause i had to sail to find a mountain

ill get there eventually

[ember panther]

Mountains has killed me more times than any other biome. I proceed with extreme caution there but still, wolf panic fall damage is a heck of a way to go

[wide zodiac]

should i upgrade my huntsman bow to lvl 4 or wait to craft the draugr fang bow

[ember panther]

Eh sup to you. Draugr fang is cool n has a DoT so if you plan on making one I wouldn't bother upgrading your Huntsman any further

[paper marsh]

depends on if you like a bit better damage (draugr) or much better stealth (huntsman)

I prefer the huntsman bow

[wide zodiac]

draugr fang or crossbow? whats better

[paper marsh]

They have different uses, but draugr fang tends to be a lot better

[wide zodiac]

oh wait nvm i cant craft that yet im still in swamp

[paper marsh]

Crossbow is good for sneak attacks and real long range engagements

[paper marsh]

yea crossbow unlocks in mistlands

[paper marsh]

whats your goto for dealing with wolves?

[wide zodiac]

why does huntsman have better stealth than draugr? the wiki says backstab for both is x3

[paper marsh]

huntsman alerts enemies in 4 meter range from where arrow hits, draugr alerts them in 8m range

So if you see a group of 5 enemies and shoot them with draugr fang, you'll prob kill the one with a sneak attack but then they'll all come running at you. Use a huntsman bow, and you'll prob still kill the one, but only 0 or 1 or 2 will get alerted by it and come running at you

[wide zodiac]

ohh i see didnt know that was a thing

[paper marsh]

its not explained at all in game so its hard to know. Huntsman is the only one with less loud arrows

[ember panther]

Hopefully shoot them before they get to me. I can parry regular wolves at least

[paper marsh]

Yea I usually shoot them with a bow or spear too. I pretty much never parry them. If I miss I just try again

My first run I'd deal with every wolf with a battleaxe, it was very satisfying

[round lichen]

weakness to the bugs?

[paper marsh]

they resist all physical damage, normal to elemental damage. Frost arrows or Frostner does well. But other than that just use whatever weapon you like

The bigger ones have weakpoints where you can do extra damage

[regal spoke]

I think the page I found isn't associated with the fandom wiki. Valheim-wiki. Sorry for that friend.

[paper marsh]

Ticks are weak to pierce tho

[ember panther]

I'm gonna keep using Huntsman this playthrough because of that feature. It's helped so much with picking off packs of wolves and fulings

I need a fenring trophy but mountains at nighttime is so freaking dangerous. I'll just hang out near a frost cave to escape to if too many wolves show up

[regal spoke]

Trying to get to the weak spot during stagger windows is the challenge

[paper marsh]

I love jumping on top of them

Sometimes I also just go for the weakspot without stagger tho

[regal spoke]

Dodge roll stabby stab?

[paper marsh]

nah the buggers turn fast and are pretty big. Dodge rolls don't tend to do it. Often gotta wait for them to start slamming the ground for a few sec, and hit them while they do that

Difficult to melee though because the damage from their slams extends to their back, so gotta throw spears

but parrying them is solid too if I have a ||magic ||shield to assist

[regal spoke]

I've not been in the mist in a while. But slowing with frost helps

[paper marsh]

I've started to really like using frost and parries to slow targets down (and make themvulnerable) to attacks from ||ballistas||

[hidden brook]

wolf meat used for anything but food?

[half dragon]

meat is meat

There isn't really any other use for meat in this game... except turning it into coal if you do not need that food

[frigid gust]

You can tame wolves with some meats, but wolf meat is not among them

[half dragon]

guess just have to make a boar farm so you can farm wolves

[paper marsh]

feed boar to wolves, wolf to Lox, Lox to Chicken?

would be funny

[vocal rivet]

No worries. Don't think that one has been updated in a while.

[hidden brook]

soup...

[half dragon]

thats... still food

[hidden brook]

oh ok so i just forgot exactly what i asked

i meant like for anything but cooking it 😂 like can i use it for soups or anything

[half dragon]

oh lol

you can also make jerky out of it, pretty convenient food. Honey + 1 wolf meat = 2 jerky

[paper marsh]

just used for kebab skewers and wolf jerky

[hidden brook]

also do teleports not work underground?

[paper marsh]

they do work

[merry pebble]

they should

[hidden brook]

ive setup the teleport in the ditch base in the moutnains

i renamed one at base directly to Mountain and it doesnt work..

[paper marsh]

Just throw the silver or whatever metal you got out of your inventory

[half dragon]

are you carrying metal? you sure you didn't forget to change the name to correct one?

[merry pebble]

check if the name is correct and you dont carry metal

[paper marsh]

oh might have mis named it, pretty common.

Capitalization matters too

[hidden brook]

ok it connected to another one

[frigid gust]

Portals are case-sensitive with their naming

[hidden brook]

aha case sensitive ok but i couldve spelt mountain wrong too lmao

i just wanna get home man

[pure blaze]

are maypoles in the game? I've never seen one in my maps

[wide zodiac]

can you destroy the fire geysers that are in the swamps?

[frigid gust]

They are, but they are very rare and not on every map.

[paper marsh]

I remember once having a issue with connecting to a portal my friend setup and I clarified 20x with him that it was named "Moder" with a capital M

Turned out to be named "Modor"

[frigid gust]

Nope! But if you dig down below water level you have a nice coal and core farm

[paper marsh]

In the summer you can build maypoles yourself!

[frigid gust]

When the season comes, you can build Maypoles though. I think it starts in July? The wiki has the info. Just checked, you can build them during the month of June.

[ember panther]

So finally decided to enable portals on my no map world just to allow friends to join up with wherever I am or vice versa.

[paper marsh]

Portals are nice. I miss them

[slender dagger]

Lmao

[round lichen]

Can I safely boat a cart filled with goods back to my base?

[plush umbra]

Safely no but yes you can

It’s best to do with a friend holding it otherwise I recommend trying to wedge it against the mast

If you run into a storm get to shore asap before your cart is the oceans

[round lichen]

that would be awful

i might make two trips in that case

[neat fractal]

if you have a friend it might also be good to have them overencumbered for the ride home, although i cant remember if that still lets them hold onto the mast or sit

[round lichen]

LOL. half the boat is sinking

[ember panther]

I saw a video of someone "walking" a cart across the ocean

[serene talon]

yeah thats possible

[neat fractal]

can i ride on top of a sea serpent like you can ride on top of a deathsquito

[languid vessel]

I slept and the Viking's dream was about Yggdrasil. Half of it was green and covered in leaves and the other half was red with flame.

Why is half of Yggdrasil on fire, and followup, is Odin the final boss?

[nocturne wolf]

Right now, the queen is the final boss. At 1.0 release, the boss of the deep north will be the final boss
Yggdrasil is only on fire because it’s a dream.

[paper marsh]

It does float tho so the loot inside is not lost

[round lichen]

what if ibroke the carton the ship

[paper marsh]

I believe so yea but it’s a lot more difficult because of how it moves and gets washed over by waves

[languid vessel]

That seems very matterafact
Did the devs also happen to tell you the planes release date for the ashlands?

[nocturne wolf]

Ashlands will probably release first half of this year

[paper marsh]

It drops the boxes from the cart. Think it’s another valid way of doing it but I think the boxes fall off more easily

Tbh I’ve never done either

[hearty niche]

My biggest hope for Ashlands? Another animation from the Brikk folks. They have been really fun so far.

[serene talon]

yeah hopefully queen in the animation this time

[near furnace]

🤔

[hearty niche]

The last one was truly epic.

[near furnace]

Glad you liked it 😄

[hearty niche]

The one with Moder was really cool, too. I like how the main character goes across land and sea in it, like it really captured the massive journey scale of the game.

[odd helm]

Oh you just reminded me

One of my suggestions was lost on the hack to make boss trophies un-portable

So that you had to do the whole journey back to the stones for your powers

[vocal rivet]

Ooh, that's nasty.

But I do like it.

[serene talon]

i genuinly would like just a animation of every boss fight

[odd helm]

It'd be a world modifier between default and no portals

Imma repost it in #suggestions, brb

[vocal rivet]

Consider this a vote for it 👍 It's the best I can do.

[serene talon]

would add that bit

[empty bison]

do you all keep troll armor till mountains or go for root one? root basic has lower armor than my troll upgraded and abominations takes ages to kill tbh 😄

[odd helm]

Root is amazing

Bows set bonus, chest piece pierce res, helmet poison res

Once you learn how to fight aboms hunting them is very fun, I enjoy it

[nocturne wolf]

I keep troll armor unless I get very lucky with abominations, I don’t grind for it.

[odd helm]

I make a T2 battleaxe specifically to hunt for aboms every playthrough~

[empty bison]

I dont have problem with dying, but them having ton of hp. Fire arrows taking them down very slowly :D. Or should I lure them in that fire stream

[odd helm]

Any abom that you find close to a surtling geyser is a free kill

On default settings and decent axe levels, a T2 battleaxe will reliably parry its swing attack, and depending on how brave you are you can sometimes do enough damage to stagger them again afterwards.

[nocturne wolf]

They’re very easy to roll from and parry, so you can use an axe or sword if you have one.

You can even roll through them

[empty bison]

I have only mace and bow. Kinda resource scare, because I play with friend that joins only for 1 hour per day and use all mats 😄

[odd helm]

You definitely want something that slices for them

They resist blunt and pierce

Even a lumber axe and a buckler should work

[nocturne wolf]

split the important stuff like metal so this isn’t a problem

[empty bison]

I have iron buckler and could use bronze axe

[odd helm]

That should do it

[empty bison]

wdym split? This wasnt problem until iron age. He played a little, so had troll armor and some iron things, but now I caught up to him, started to farm woods, trolls and iron for upgrades and just found out he used all iron, wood and troll hides for his upgrades 😄

[empty bison]

alright, will try, I didnt try engage it in combat (Melee)

[odd helm]

Just remember to eat good food~

[paper marsh]

just gotta communicate well. I feel the pain tho

[empty bison]

yeah, I am cooking HHS now best from black forest. Its annoying to farm tails, but its alright

[nocturne wolf]

You can use half of the resources and they can use half of the resources so you both progress at the same pace, or you could both only use what each of you find.

[odd helm]

I'd suggest upgrading to swamp tier foods ASAP, but black forest HHS is probably good enough?

[empty bison]

Its little hard, he is playing with his brother wow, and then having little time to valheim, so when he joins, we wants to do some combat or building and using my mats. But I dont want to go really solo because of this 😄

[empty bison]

I explored whole my swamp where I build portal and didnt find single turnip. Or I dont need turnip to have some swamp food? I have ton of inside things from mobs, but still no recipe

[odd helm]

You do need turnips, yes

[crude yacht]

Turnips are the key.

[empty bison]

ah yeah, there no single turnip in my swamp unluckily, but ton of crypts tho

[odd helm]

Honestly I'd dedicate an entire expedition just to find it, it'll unlock so much for you

It's a yellow flower

[nocturne wolf]

Dont worry too much, I often find turnips after I have everything else I need for the boss

Make sure you find some before the boss, though. They are very important

[crude yacht]

The good thing is if you fine 1 turnip seed, you are set for life.

[empty bison]

yeah, will try that, I tried to explain him how to progress, but he insist that he want full upgraded bronze armor and full upgraded stell spear 😄

[odd helm]

Oof, that must've been a slog and a half~

[empty bison]

I googled it and searched, but no luck and lighting shining on every bush is not helping

[crude yacht]

Sounds like you need to hide the iron...make a secret hidey hole and horde it all.

[uncut bough]

Man why do i have to get copper in mistland

[empty bison]

yeah, sometimes I think about going solo, but its not that much fun, especially fighting and sailing

[uncut bough]

Everything mine-able might drop copper scrap

[frigid gust]

Because a lot of the Mistlands build pieces use copper, so it's nice to have it accessible

[uncut bough]

They could have introduced copper bolt or bronze bolt for arbalest and it would have been gucci

[paper marsh]

You don't have to, I think most if not all the copper based mistlands things are cosmetic/decorational

[tacit panther]

When the abomination does that guttural thing, is it laughing or just being intimidating?

[odd helm]

I'd be very concerned if an undead tree is capable of laughing

[frigid gust]

I have so much more blackmetal than I do copper or bronze, even with Mistlands sources...

[paper roost]

hi guys

@paper marsh i remember we were talking about claws and someone said its bad for parry. its a lie. i know it wont help you on VH, but on normal difficulty you can parry with it anything without star, including lox, golem or soldier. i tried 2* seeker and it was a fail, but the timing on them is not my strongest 😄

[warped wing]

the seed i'm playing singleplayer on currently - i'm actually having lots of fun 😎 i think ive only been playing this seed for 3 days and already ive already looted my first crypt 🙂 and bonemass summoning altar i found right next to the first crypt i found. haven't died yet either 😆

[wide zodiac]

do i need to be near my animal and crop farms for them to grow just like in minecraft? or can they be hundreds of miles away and still grow

[nocturne wolf]

You need to be near animals, not crops

[paper roost]

once they deliver you can leave and they grow alone

[wide zodiac]

because i was thinking of putting my pig pen far away from my base so that they stop getting killed during raids

draugrs came and wiped out every single pig i had

[warped wing]

LOL same happened to me yesterday 😂

[nocturne wolf]

This is why I put my boars inside a building (and why you should, too)

[pliant hatch]

One word:

Bats.

At least, for me.

[warped wing]

working on this right now 🙂 gonna make a nice stone barn 😉

[light moat]

But my free range boars 🥲

[warped wing]

are bats in vanilla? haven't seen a single one

[paper roost]

you will

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, in frost caves

[warped wing]

oh sheit

[pliant hatch]

Depends if you haven't been in frost caves or not.

[warped wing]

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-this-is-where-the-fun-begins-star-wars-lets-begin-gif-17501807

i posted gif but not showing?

[nocturne wolf]

We don’t have gif permissions

[warped wing]

oh shivers D :

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/allenxandria-theres-no-fun-to-be-had-here-gif-23231859

[serene talon]

[paper marsh]

I said they were bad at parrying 😅
That was in reference to VH tho. I’d imagine they do fine on normal, although I’m a bit surprised their parry holds up in mistlands

[paper roost]

so was i. i might do some deeper testing on hard, but dont have much time recently. still, its strongest part isnt the parry, its just add

[paper marsh]

Just kinda sad we don’t get new versions of it

Hopefully in Ashlands, although I doubt it

[wide zodiac]

does standing still or sitting down regen more stam?

[paper roost]

yeah, its really fun to play with

[azure yacht]

Nope

[paper marsh]

Same

But rested increases stamina regen a lot, and resting skyrockets it

[fringe storm]

hay guys
any news about when we will get the ashland update?

[odd helm]

First half of this year is the only official timeline

It has not changed

Pretty much, ye

[uncut bough]

right around the corner, but it is the corner of a circle

[pliant hatch]

I thought it was Willy and the Poor Boys who were playing right around the corner.

🤔

[paper marsh]

Do you guys think a melee only run would be viable? Kinda wanna try it

I think there are people who have done fist only so should be fine

[hot fern]

Yes, it is without a doubt viable. Done it.

you can use line of sight obstruction to get drakes and gjalls to fly close to you.

[paper marsh]

Ye that’s what I’m thinking

Very Hard melee only no atgeir sounds fun to me

Might set my block skill to like 70 on spawn tho

I’d still have to get better at dodge rolling tho. Prob wouldn’t make it hardcore

[ornate sentinel]

I hardly ever worked on my blocking skill, it's a bad habit I need to work out of. Perhaps I need to focus on that next time I jump into the game.

[frozen void]

blocking skill is also so slow to level

[ornate sentinel]

Does it level faster when you parry with the buckler, or just block it all with a tower shield?

[frozen void]

you get double for parrying, but it also takes more stamina

[crimson elbow]

guys where i can see wheen ashland go to publich test?

[ornate sentinel]

Steam library page.

Or the news channel, maybe, I guess.

[light moat]

If you look in the Channels and Roles section, you can get the public-tester role so you can get notified, as well as test the beta of course.

[gusty elk]

im excited for its drop in 2 weeks

[barren crane]

yo i got banned out of suggestions 😔

god forbid a brother want some dvergr beard nunchucks

[loud valve]

Crafting from dvegr exclusive drops would be cool

[worthy gazelle]

so me and my buddy killed the Queen a little while ago
but we only recently started getting attacked by small groups of seekers without any raid title or warning
is that like a thing that happens after a certain point? Cuz I just got wrecked by a seeker while tending to my farm in the Meadows and it was very rude

[azure yacht]

Yes

[azure yacht]

Don't

[azure yacht]

It's not surprising why honestly

[halcyon blade]

I'm sure they just forgot to include the 💡 before the suggestion and confused the instant removal as being banned. I've seen some pretty bad suggestions and the worst those get are a ton of thumbs down (a far cry from being banned from the channel).

[wide zodiac]

How rare are serpents? Ive been trying to hunt one for several days ingame now and still no luck even though im looking for them during storms and at night

[loud valve]

Stop looking for them and you'll find them

[worthy gazelle]

Do you happen to know if that lovely trait is tied to the world, or to the player who may have helped kill her?

[frigid gust]

After defeating every boss except Moder, new nighttime spawns are added to almost all biomes

[worthy gazelle]

a group of seekers came after us in the middle of the damn ocean while we were shipping our biggest haul of metal yet
we ran aground to properly finish them off and save our metal, but it was rough

[frigid gust]

If it was nighttime they probably spawned on a nearby small island or something

[worthy gazelle]

now that you mention it, it was always at night so that checks out
guess there will be no more chill night smelting sessions 8(

[hidden brook]

am i able to dig out a tiny side of the circular mountain building to fit workbench?

or will it all collapse?

[ember panther]

You can dig into stone

[hidden brook]

so not the stone walls?

[ember panther]

Not sure the setup but stone touching ground will definitely stay and if it's between other stone blocks it should hold

Test it out!

[hidden brook]

oh lord ive got to test it out

this thing gonna collapse onto me 😭

oh how can i make a trapdoor? like a door that opens up down/up, possible or no?

[frigid gust]

Not possible, but you can leave a hole in the floor and cleverly place rugs so it hides it

[hidden brook]

not very smart for the mountains id assume lmao

[loud valve]

I've built a cave under a stone node in the mountains

Even dug through it and put stairs for my cart

[tulip patrol]

this was my first mountain and plains base. I built underneath a rock and lived in a cave

[safe flower]

It the PTB out now for us to try?

[vocal rivet]

There's often a patch in PTB as there is now.

[hidden brook]

how would i put a roof on those circular snow shelters

i did it and it looks amazing

[plush umbra]

Pics?

[hidden brook]

its simple asf but damn does it look good

[hidden brook]

#screenshots

it might not look good on pics but damn it does ingame

doing the inside rn 🙂

what u think?

[paper marsh]

Ashlands is not in the PTB right now if that’s what you’re asking

[hidden brook]

how tf did a draugr get to the mountain

[paper marsh]

Probably spawned there

They have a one time spawn in some of the stone structures

Also few will experience this but getting raided by draugr in the mountains right when your rested runs out SUCKS. You now have baddies chasing you, lack rested, AND YOURE WET because the raid brings rain

[hidden brook]

i currently have a totally floating silver vein and it wont fall...

[paper marsh]

Have you hit the silver with your pickaxe since making it float?

[hidden brook]

yup aloooot

im just digging it out atp

[buoyant lake]

Man that announcement really threw me for a loop

[hidden brook]

unlesss theres a clipping hitbox but literally 0 stone is touching

oh ok theres some stone very close to it

i did it

clipping stone hitbox

thanks

alright big time money

[tulip patrol]

Draugr can spawn in the ruins on the mountains, they often have draugr spawners in them

[hidden brook]

ahhh ok thans

[wide zodiac]

If i stand still in the ocean with my boat will a serpent eventually spawn?

[tulip patrol]

Hunting Serpents can be desirable for their drops, but finding one quickly is not intuitive.

• Serpents only spawn at night or during heavy rain (with or without thunderstorm). Light rain is not sufficient.
  -- Serpents that spawned from the night will despawn on morning. However, if the area is only visited during the night then they will remain there.
  -- Serpents that spawned from the rain will not despawn during the day and can be later found even during calm weather.
  -- When it is both night and heavy rain, there is no way to tell if the Serpent despawns on morning.
• Each zone has a chance to spawn a Serpent when a player sails through it. The chance is 5% when it is night time or raining, or 10% chance if it is both. A zone only attempts spawning every 1000 seconds so backtracking will not trigger more spawn attempts.
  -- Sailing to non-cardinal directions (north-west, north-east, south-west and south-east) can trigger more spawn attempts due to how zones are in a grid.
• Not all Serpents will spawn close enough to spot the player.
  -- Up to half of the Serpents will spawn close enough to see the player and will attack on their own.
  -- Some of the Serpents will spawn outside of player vision (render distance) and will always be missed.
  -- The rest can be spotted by a player scanning the boat's rear 180 degrees. Sailing at full-mast (as opposed to half-mast) may cause the player to miss spotting some spawns, but ultimately encounter more Serpents due to triggering more spawn attempts.
• With optimal searching, players should be able to find at least one Serpent per full night of sailing more often than 0.

from the wiki about serpent spawns

[wide zodiac]

while i was reading this a serpent finally showed up lmao thanks for the luck

i killed it in deep water though and i didnt know the scales dont float rip

[hidden brook]

i was lied to

who said that fenris armor goes under regular armor a couple days ago

like

like layers

i wasted so much wolf pelt on this

wow i run faster awesome 😭

unless i misunderstood. yes

im sorry but a 6%+ move speed is so useless

also what else can i use fenris stuff on other than these clothes

"you equip clothes for the armor....?" when i said the fenris armor:10 sucked

what does that mean could you possibly decipher this 😭

[sage dock]

I have to raise one issue. I have more spawns during the day than night

[unique arrow]

uh, when will ashlands be out in ptb?

[rain flare]

Not sure - the current ptb is still fixing other issues

[atomic hatch]

Hello

[round lichen]

is 17 stacks of iron enough

[sage dock]

For?

[round lichen]

valhiem

[sage dock]

And i take it you mean 17 out of 20 or 17 blocks of 20?

[atomic hatch]

You can never have enough iron

[round lichen]

black metal doesn't do much

chests are nice but porcuipine is my main rn

[sage dock]

Seconded on that

[round lichen]

when?

[sage dock]

The cooking upgrades and the armour you'll need to survive says you need black metal

[round lichen]

ive stockpiled quite a lot

[near furnace]

Black metal armor?

Or shield? 🤔

[sage dock]

Both

At least until he makes a mistlands run

[round lichen]

no such thing as black metal armor

im pre yagluth my setup is maxxed silver with porquipine and black metal shield

[sage dock]

And padded armour?

[round lichen]

i dont think i'll need it

[sage dock]

You'll need blackmetal to get it

[round lichen]

padded is iron actually... strange imo

[sage dock]

And yeah you arent gonna survive yagluth without it

In fact im surprised you survived modor

[round lichen]

moder ezzzz

i crafted maxxed out wolf fang spear and went to town

[hidden brook]

iron buckler or silver shield

[latent gorge]

Any plans dev going to release recolor shield in future?

[toxic rose]

You could beat Yagluth even without any armor, but it'll be much harder than you want

[tulip patrol]

So most likely what you had it had Spawned during a thunderstorm. Those Serpents dont despawn at daytime like their nightime spawns do

[toxic rose]

(ofc without bugs)

[sage dock]

Nope. Calm waters and open sky

[tulip patrol]

but it spawned during a thunderstorm out of your view and when you went back through in clear waters it was still their in the area

[sage dock]

The sailing across grids might have done it though

[fair cairn]

serpents stay untill killed when they spawn during a thunderstorm

[merry pebble]

You don't need to get blackmetal to get padded armor

[rain flare]

spawn proofing the mistlands is doing my head in

[merry pebble]

I mean you can try xD (Razgriz)

[rain flare]

literally an INSIGNIFICANT hole in my proofing network and here come the gjall 🤣

[dense steppe]

Ride the gjall Like a Worm on the Arrakis

[turbid pollen]

Do you guys think having a 3 meter vertical space with the second floor right above me is fine?

[dense steppe]

4 meters It's going to be better

[tulip patrol]

before i commit, will the eitr orbs aggro the dvergr if i use them to break their wards or am i gucci to throw some orbs on it.

orbs are easier to haul out here than bringing a cart

[near furnace]

I don't think they will be angry no 🤔

[rain flare]

Only reason I bring carts is if I don't want to destroy the area
eitr can be a bit...
destructive

[tulip patrol]

well in the towers that house the wards being made of black marble. destroying the environment isnt an issue since ya know the eitr cant damage marble

[serene talon]

yeah that works i tried it before and it didnt agro them

[turbid pollen]

Thank you, I made my build a bit higher and it turned out great! I'm glad I redid the build as I was already pretty much finished on the roofing.

[dense rapids]

Idea: person 1 pulls a cart. Person 2 stands on that cart, and harpoons person 3. Person 3 is pulling a cart, etc etc. Would that work? How long train could you make 🤔😄

[near furnace]

it probably works 😄

[rain flare]

I'm mostly talking about the decoration like the stairs or chairs

or if you are working with a digsite instead - those wooden palisades don't last when you drop eitr next to them

[tulip patrol]

good point

[uncut bough]

what the hell is "they were bro's man"

is this related to the Zilch and Thug i just killed in sealed tower

[vocal rivet]

Yep, it's their raid.

[rain flare]

It is indeed

miserable raid 🤣
Had that one a few times in my mountain base

[uncut bough]

uh yea that was easy, i saw the wolf army just demolished the boss, and they had harder time with the 1 star fulings

lost 3 2 star wolves against the 1 star fulings, but the black metal drop was all worth it

[half dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/sacrifice-evil-bosses-shrek-lord-farquaad-some-of-you-may-die-gif-16648565

[empty bison]

yeah, maybe it will be better. I like playing duo, but getting tired of farming for 2, especially if he just jonk it 😄

[tulip patrol]

They were Bros man, why'd u kill the bros

I GOT ONE!!!! A SEEKER SOLDIER HEAD! FINALLLYYY

[tall reef]

when update?

[vocal rivet]

First half of this year.

[tulip patrol]

i hope they give us an animated releaste trailer for the ashlands like the mistlands one

[azure yacht]

Torches don't disappear after durability runs out, right?

And can't be repaired

[odd helm]

I'm pretty sure they dissappear

But they can't be repaired

[tulip patrol]

no idea, idt i ever use the torches

[pliant hatch]

If you mean the ones you can hold, they disappear and can't be repaired,.

[azure yacht]

Don't think I've ever held a torch for so long.

By disappearing I assume it means it gets completely removed from inventory?

[fair cairn]

the handheld ones yes

[paper marsh]

Yup

[azure yacht]

The times I used a torch I always threw them away bc I thought they were gonna stay in my inventory but unable to repair them lol

[civic rampart]

My last build had me go nuts with sconces (sp?)

[azure yacht]

(yes I was meaning the hand ones)

[fair cairn]

i usually just throw them in the obliterator before they break so get something out of it

[half dragon]

torch is surprisingly good early game weapon, if you expect it to be complete trash, that is

[latent wraith]

Bis weapon in black forest crypts. tbh.

Does two kinds of damage the deadites don't like, doubles as light source and can be made on the spot when you need a new one.

[tulip patrol]

if you need an early game weapon just pick up 6 sticks and make a club

[nocturne wolf]

Or get some stone too and make a stone axe

[half dragon]

or pick up free torches from buildings littered everywhere

[azure yacht]

At that moment I'm no longer using torches so throwing them away was the only option to free inventory space before that tier

[azure yacht]

Greydwarves are weak to fire after all

[nocturne wolf]

But they run away from it, so hitting them with a torch isn't always easy

[warped wing]

when i went to the crypts - i was so glad i had ate boar jerky instead of just honey - because that extra twenty health made all the difference when that draugr elite started swinging at me O_O would have never made it out alive otherwise

[paper marsh]

Whenever I load into a new VH world I always panic for a sec when boars and greydwarves start running up to me and I have no food, shield or weapon, but then I remember that I spawn with a torch 😎

[half dragon]

people looking at torch: "wait, you're a weapon?" Always has been

[azure yacht]

They run from torches? Maybe greylings and boars but I've had greydwarves still attacking with a torch held

[half dragon]

they seem to panic when they're on fire

[nocturne wolf]

I think they do, at least. I haven't used a torch near them in a while. Maybe it's just the annoying running around they always do.

[half dragon]

if you're not in a hurry to kill them it's no issue, they'll eventually come back to you for a 2nd whack

[paper marsh]

Greylings and boars def run away. Greydwarves run away from campfires but not sure if they run from torch

Actually yes I think I remember using torch to hold hordes of greydwarves at bay

[nocturne wolf]

The only problem I have with the running is how unpredictable it makes them

[azure yacht]

I do remember that brutes and shamans don't care about torches

[half dragon]

Do walls, pillars, beams ect. also have a spawn proofing radius?

[runic iron]

anyone have a idea when ashlands is coming out

[warped wing]

you mean ashlands

[runic iron]

yeaa

[pliant hatch]

Mistlands has been released about a year ago.
Ashlands will be released within the next 3 months.

[runic iron]

oh sadge

thought it was in a couplee weeks

[pliant hatch]

They said "first half of 2024".
We got 3 months of that done, so we got 3 months to go.

[prime fjord]

Are there lore behind these huge remains in mistlands?

[warped wing]

should i make iron pickaxe? 🤔

[prime fjord]

Yes

[half dragon]

iron pickaxe is the best one you'll have for a long while

for next 2 biomes no new pickaxe

Just got an idea what to do... a before and after for this main base I'm building. Mostly because I'm changing the landscape masssively

turned a tiny island into a good sized harbor area raised 5 meters high to avoid high waves... changed the area connecting it to the rest of the island to make it look more natural while also expanding the island a little bit to make it slightly wider

[slender dagger]

that sounds really cool

also id like to make a round house, what should i build for the walls?

[warped wing]

first roundhouse i made was from wood

dunno if i have any photos

[slender dagger]

well id like to make it so you can see out from the windows kinda

[half dragon]

There are ways to make windows

[slender dagger]

or just a house with some parts that has like a half circle with some stuff

[slender dagger]

how?

[half dragon]

Wood shutter, but it requires 2 bronze nails. The next option would be a crystal window

[slender dagger]

i mean i do have cystals, what do i need for it?

[slender dagger]

well i have bronze so thats not the issue, but how does it look?

[half dragon]

sec, I can show both

[slender dagger]

alr

[half dragon]

Hmm... just got some new ideas for that glass since you mentioned it

going to be expensive though

[paper marsh]

No

[vocal rivet]

Just this lot: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[paper marsh]

might be, we don't know. We just know that at the latest it'll be 3 months

[ember panther]

Vegs that point to the same boss location will say "already added" if it's a new location it will say "added to map". I don't got a map tho so I just let the veg point me in the direction and hope I go there. Since I found a moder one I'm off to find her since that will give me more build options. Finding bonemass on the way would be nice tho

[half dragon]

can enemies spawn on wet ground where you cannot place a workbench?
