valheim-chat

[slender dagger]

ohh okay, thanks

[half dragon]

Ground that is very close to the water level

[slender dagger]

i was gonna ask how much of the map you explored, but forgot you didnt have map on lmao, is it without portals too?

[night smelt]

but you cant make a small item invade-safe with that spawn radius, can you?

[ember panther]

I'm confident I've explored the entire starting island. It's huge and had big bays or seas around it. Confused tf outta me when I sailed somewhere then explored my way back to the altar... Like 3 times 😂

[paper marsh]

I think so but not fully sure. I feel like I often see raid enemies popping up out of very shallow water

Flying enemies tend to have no problem spawning fully submerged in the ocean I think

[frigid gust]

I think flying enemies like bats and drakes can, but general enemies can't

[ember panther]

I was also playing with no portals until recently I just allowed them so my friends can meet up with me. That's their only purpose in this playthrough

[slender dagger]

Haha, its crazy how 420 days and you havent made it past bonemass yet, tho makes sense because its so difficult (not saying ur slow or anything just like in general yk)

[paper marsh]

as long as you have spawnproofing placed as near to the coast as you can it should be fine for everything but bats and drakes

[slender dagger]

lmao, i would hate it without portals if it was me too

[paper marsh]

I'm at 600-700 days and haven't beaten bonemass 😎

[slender dagger]

damn

[paper marsh]

Got full mistlands gear tho so who needs bonemass

[slender dagger]

bro what 😭 how you get iron then

[paper marsh]

You need to kill Elder for swamp key for easy iron

Bonemass is for locating silver, but I just dig randomly around a mountain to find some. You don't need much silver anyways

[slender dagger]

well i can spawn moder too, but i dont want to because the server is for me and my dad and brother, so im not gonna do it without them. But ive played like 95% of the time so i might solo it so i can go to plains

[paper marsh]

I've skipped bonemass and Yag, but prob gonna go back and kill Yag soon

[slender dagger]

True, 1 vein is enough for me as of for now.

[paper marsh]

Feel that, same reason I haven't killed yag yet

[slender dagger]

Nice, is it a solo server?

[paper marsh]

Nah with a few other people but I'm by far the most active

[slender dagger]

yeah, just found her spawn today after searching 4 mountains with no veg i just find a new mountain and the first thing i see is the spawn when i run up to the top lol

[slender dagger]

ah okay, yeah i might find like a community server or something to play on because i like to play with people and not just myself

[ember panther]

Yeah, I've been able to find silver without much effort though. So it's not a high priority at this time. I spend a lot of time building and pathing, making things more traversable and convenient. I always work through the nights too so that's a lot of playtime on this world 😅

[uncut bough]

with the abundance of copper in Mistland, i have decided to craft bronzehead arrow

needles arrow for mistland, bronze arrow for plains and below

[ember panther]

I got an abundance of obsidian so I've been using those

[slender dagger]

ah okay, haha that sounds nice! Id like to make things like that, but because it shouldnt be a problem to keep this server when ashlands come out ill be prioritizing to get some plains stuff before going too in-dept with building (even tho i really like building but ´havent really had much experience because ive just returned after about a year, furthest ive made in progression is killing moder.)

[uncut bough]

i craft frost arrow with obsidian

so they won't go to waste as well

[slender dagger]

Which to get plain stuff, ill need to kill moder (well i have most of the stuff from leading villages to tar pits, but i need the smelters and stuff).

also i found out how a pain in the ass the cultists are when u have harnesk on (wasnt able to use anything else because my dad was using my iron cp, so i died a couple of times😅

Can anyone recommend playing those community servers? Or are they mostly garbage

[paper marsh]

it's always tough finding a good server. Really gotta find a group of people you trust / vibe with, because there's basically no anti-grief protection

[slender dagger]

Is it worth giving a shot?

[paper marsh]

Dunno, up to you. I'd imagine it usually goes well if you're a friendly person trying to meet others to play with

I've only ever joined one server with randoms but it went well

[slender dagger]

well im gonna try to apply for a server in the #1024264966712340510 channel, found one im kinda interested in with no mods whatsoever

[warped wing]

@Lolly where you from? 😮 just because ping really affects parrying - that's how i died on my friends servers 😂

i'm an aussie myself

[slender dagger]

My bad, from denmark

[slender dagger]

nice ping lol

[paper marsh]

I'm from Denmark too 🇩🇰

[ornate sentinel]

Mhm, mhm, yes I concur.

[slender dagger]

lmao

[plush umbra]

You’re gonna get moderated

[paper marsh]

CalPal fully understands

[slender dagger]

oops

[burnt star]

Have the devs at any point said if we'll get the final crafting station upgrades for the Galdr table and Black Forge before Ashlands release or not?

[plush umbra]

It’ll be fine but they crack down on it being an English only server a lot

[round lichen]

how do i find brenna?

[desert flower]

I think they usually release it with the biome release?

[slender dagger]

Thanks man!

[slender dagger]

what is brenna

[dusk cypress]

Hi guys I'm ready for you to release Ashlands now. Go ahead

[ornate sentinel]

I'll do you one better - WHY is brenna?!

[round lichen]

the skeleton mini boss?

[slender dagger]

Thats... not how it works..?

[dusk cypress]

Prove it

[slender dagger]

ohh hildir?

[paper marsh]

no, but I'd highly doubt it. I don't think they plan on adding any content before Ashlands update

That said, I'd imagine Ashlands will give another upgrade to Galdr/Black Forge

[burnt star]

USUALLY they've released the full crafting station upgrades WITH the biome when it came out. But mistlands still doesn't have the final station upgrade.

We got lvl 2 originally and later we got lvl 3.

I'm just wondering if we'll get lvl 4 for mistlands before ashlands comes out.

[slender dagger]

It isnt fully ready for release, they will release it when they got it ready and as bug-free as possible

[burnt star]

Thanks!

[paper marsh]

Hildr is an NPC that sends you to take out minibosses. Brenna is the skelly miniboss

[slender dagger]

Ah, yeah havent seen hildir yet.

[dusk cypress]

I'm ready to play it now though

[round lichen]

i found hilda but cant find the skelly

[slender dagger]

Yes, but i dont think its ready to be released now though

[slender dagger]

well idk how it works

[round lichen]

fenris armor with lox cape goes crazy

[hidden gorge]

wait till you get the mistlands cape

[paper marsh]

if you interact with something in her camp it should show the location of all the minibosses on your map

[slender dagger]

fenris armor with root harnest goes crazy (fire and pierce protection)

[round lichen]

i walk over campfires and take no damage so if i right yagluth should i wear silver or fenris

[paper marsh]

doesn't work like that. You need all 3 pieces of fenris armor to get fire resist

But you can always drink a fire resist potion

[warped wing]

yeah her cartography table. its like got all these little pins in it

[round lichen]

nowayyy

ok ill try that

[burnt star]

Yes but remember that resistances don't stack.

So Root Harnesk/Fenris Armor will never be as good as higher biome armor with a fire resist potion and bonemass's power or yagluth and bonemass powers.

[paper marsh]

campfires are just wonky. No armor makes you fully immune to fire. I suggest fenris because it makes you faster to help outrun the meteors, but silver will make you tankier if you want that.

Fire resist you can get from either wearing all 3 fenris pieces, or from just drinking a fire resistance potion

[frigid gust]

Campfires do a low tick fire damage. Fire sources are not all the same, they can do different amounts of fire damage. Yagluth does rather more than a campfire 😉

[paper marsh]

Yagluth stronger than a campfire confirmed!?! 👀

[half dragon]

can you bait loxes with food into their pens? tamed ones

[frigid gust]

Yes. You can also build a saddle though, and that can often be much easier.

[half dragon]

but also more time consuming and expensive...

[frigid gust]

You can take the saddle back off... you only need one.

[paper marsh]

Quite cheap if you've already killed Moder imo

Haven't tried moving lox with food but I'd imagine it being kinda difficult

[half dragon]

15 black metal though? my warehouse is eating them like a gluttonous beast

but if 1 is all I need sure I guess

[paper marsh]

You'll have overflow in no time

[half dragon]

where does that overflow come from? I've already conquered the entire nearby area and I'm still starving for more

[frigid gust]

If you've killed Yagluth, just stay up late. Or if not, just stay up late in the Plains.

[paper marsh]

I use blackmetal for ||ballista bolts|| and such, but still have like 14-18 stacks in excess rn

[paper marsh]

raids can give a ton, or wiping out a village gives a couple stacks if its a big village

[half dragon]

all nearby villages already gone, will have to go much further out to get more

none of them were all that big tho

[paper marsh]

maybe you won't automatically get excess then

[frigid gust]

Yeah. Just hang out until nighttime in the Plains. There will be roaming groups of 3-5 fulings, it's really easy to farm blackmetal that way.

[paper marsh]

tbf my current base is in plains which lends to BM excess, but even when I setup in meadows I find that I get a lot

[half dragon]

doesn't really help when the base I'm building is being setup to be 100% safe and it's an island. Mostly so I don't have to build defenses all over the place

[paper marsh]

ah then yea. If you setup base far away from a lot of plains and effectively disable raids then plains resources can be a tough

[half dragon]

it is entirely in the plains, enemies just don't spawn here xD

[hearty niche]

I just ran into 2 1 star and a 2 star and had to make my first raft-of-shame trip in a long time.

[light moat]

I play with raids disabled, but I don’t find plains materials too hard to come across- I’ll hunt at night like Pita mentioned for black metals if I need it.

[half dragon]

does killing the boss make more of them spawn in plains, or does it remain the same?

[hearty niche]

I think it remains the same but you get more spawns in Meadows

I'm not sure if they have the same-sized raiding parties

[frigid gust]

I had to do that recently.. no raft though, I'm usually pretty good about having portals on any continent that I spend more than a few seconds on

[hearty niche]

Same! I got a lil too big for my britches securing the local area and it was only when I went to go through the portal that I realized I didn't have one hahaha

[uncut bough]

I have decided to put all the eggs into a “farmhouse” where i crowd 40 eggs at a time near a hearth

[half dragon]

I think I'll just have to sail further out to fix my blackmetal problem... drip feeding myself around 10 black metal a night is going to take a long while to complete my warehouse

[uncut bough]

And when they grow up, it is go-time with the butcher knife

[frigid gust]

We need a Homer "d'oh!" reaction here...

[hearty niche]

LOL that would be tame compared to my profane reaction.

[paper marsh]

next time setup base in plains 💪

My current base is in plains for easy plains resources, right next to mistlands so I can get resources from there, and only a short sail from Ashlands

[half dragon]

already in plains...

[slender dagger]

Well thats true, but the harnesk frees up the bonemass slot and also makes deadsquitos seem like flies

[burnt star]

Yeah my crew is scouting a souther mistlands location to use as our main base to attack the ashlands from.

[paper marsh]

because its spawnproofed or a small area or just unlucky?

[frigid gust]

All of the Hildir dungeons are like, terribly far away for me. There's a Sealed Tower right next to her, but I have to traverse through a fair bit of Mistlands to get to the Brenna dungeon. That's my current task, trying to figure out how to sail and haul that back to her without having to risk Gjall air attack or sailing too much through the mists.

[half dragon]

spawn proofed all the area near my base to prevent them from wandering here. Eventually will spawn proof the entire island though

[paper marsh]

well sounds like thats effectively why it's not benefitting your blackmetal supply to be in plains. Only sustainable source of it are from mob spawns

[half dragon]

but still, not enough of those fulings are spawning per night to justify doing that instead of sailing further away

[azure yacht]

I just parried Moder's land ice breath... With a fire staff...

I didn't even know that was possible

[frigid gust]

Build a bridge to the mainland? That's how I have it.

[frigid gust]

Well hell, now I have to go try that...

[half dragon]

even when spent all night in plains still only got around 10 black metal...

[azure yacht]

On very hard as well...

Really, idk how I did it, I actually thought I died.

And I only had like 90 hp

Seriously all odds were against me

[half dragon]

with 10 metal a night will take me almost 90 nights to complete my warehouse

[feral parrot]

Can a 2 star and zero star boar procreate and make a 2 star boar, and then can I take that 2 star piglet, kill the zero star and then mate the child with the OG 2 star and have unlimited 2 star piglets??

[frigid gust]

Yup! That's the easiest way to do it.

[latent wraith]

The piglet inherits the stars of the one giving birth to it.

[feral parrot]

So if the first procreation is a zero star, that 2 star isn’t the mother..

Meaning I’d need to find another 2 star?

[frigid gust]

Just keep breeding them until a 2* piglet pops out. Animals in Valheim are hermaphroditic... any of them can give birth.

[paper marsh]

damn, how much max health? (I'm assuming no ||magic ||shield)

[latent wraith]

No, there are no sexes, but they get pregnant and give birth individually (with other boars nearby needed for pregnancies to happen).

[feral parrot]

And can I put stacks of 50 or whatever max or do I need to split them up 1 at a time in the pin

[latent wraith]

They can eat from a stack

[feral parrot]

Okay. Cool

[half dragon]

just did some calculations and your excess wouldn't be enough to complete my warehouse, only a bit more than half of it 💀

[hearty niche]

Multiple stacks has caused weird issues for me, like they'd get confused about which stack to eat from and not eat from any

[feral parrot]

How do people tame deer?

[azure yacht]

That was my max HP LOL

I had seeker aspic, stuffed mushroom and muckshake. And no magic shield. I don't even have that staff

[latent wraith]

Mods.

[hearty niche]

With arrows.

[paper marsh]

new strategy: Don't kill yag. Remove base spawnproofing. Turn raid rate to max

Blackmetal will start rolling in

[azure yacht]

I was left with like 13-18 hp. That was all my plot armor depleted in one attack

[paper marsh]

very impressive. I did not expect that at all either

[frigid gust]

EES food meta 😛 But... muckshake? Not salad or bread even?

[half dragon]

hmm... I think I'll make completely separate mud hut or something as a base for fighting raids or something

don't want them near my actual main base lol

[feral parrot]

If I have a giant farm.. for as far as the eye can see basically in the meadows.. mobs won’t spawn on the other end and destroy my crap while I’m on the other end tending to my crops or whatever, will they?

[unkempt cypress]

Any speculation on when ashlands will drop on PTB?

[feral parrot]

I really don’t wanna make a fence or fortify it

[latent wraith]

By the end of June.

[unique onyx]

sometime between now and not now

[half dragon]

profound and insightful

[frigid gust]

Sometime after the current PTB is moved to the mainstream release branch, and not before.

We don't do date speculation here because people tend to take it as promises and out of context. It just makes things annoying.

[paper marsh]

If its outside of render distance no. But that sounds like a dangerous gambit, and you'd definitely have to spawnproof the area of the farm that is within render distance

[feral parrot]

Render? Like a mob seeing me?

[azure yacht]

There was one muckshake left so I got that one to free up that slot.

Besides, I prefer saving better stuff for actual necessity (like keeping on suicidally exploring mistlands without having killed yag yet)

[latent wraith]

Mobs can spawn anywhere except in range of a "player base" item (most fire sources, crafting stations, beds and a few other items - the wiki has a full list but contains spoilers) that prevents spawns in a 20m radius around them. Fences don't stop mobs from spawning inside them if the area isn't spawn proofed.

[frigid gust]

Ahh... that would explain the lack of salad. I eat a lot of those since they're so cheap 😛

[light moat]

You’ve definitely enlightened me on the power of salads lol

[paper marsh]

no, certain parts of the world won't load in if you're far away from them. If it is not loaded in, mobs won't spawn in them

Basically though I think what you wanna do is build both fences around your farm, and place some torches, campfires, or workbenches along it to stop mobs from spawning within the farm. Anything else will probably get your crops destroyed

[feral parrot]

Hmm okay. Well right now I’m just dealing with the occasional raid once an evening irl, and I just kite them away. I know it’ll get harder though

I just don’t wanna make an ugly moat/fence. Farms are suppose to be open and free 🙂

[half dragon]

love darkwood poles. Perfect for outdoor fence that doesn't become ugly and green in the rain

[feral parrot]

When can I get dark wood poles?

Cause I saw a video of those and they look sexy

[frigid gust]

Once you find tar, in the Plains

[strange arrow]

They are indeed

[feral parrot]

Man, I suck at the swamps.

This is my second go around with a play through, I got sad in the swamps and stepped away for a few months. Now I’m back with my bronze armor and loving it with a new found addiction

But the swamps are rough.

[light moat]

Animals should have grass under their feet and the sun over their heads! Keep boars out of stone boxes 😭

[half dragon]

one way to fix that is burying crafting benches. that also allows you to repair and craft anywhere in their range

[desert flower]

I don't think you can bury them any more, right? they break if burried

[half dragon]

you can. dig a hole, build a 2m wood pole that touches it, then bury it almost completely, use flatten tool to only barely bury it

it's a bit tricky but works

[desert flower]

ah; so if pole is above ground it doesn't break table attached to it?

[half dragon]

the pole isn't visible either

but it's what is keeping the crafting bench alive

[desert flower]

interesting, I'll give it a shot! I just have a bunch of unsightly craft benches around my island, lol

[hearty niche]

I have an idea I'm gonna try.

Place ward as Player 1. Create workbench as Player 2 outside scope of ward, upgrade it twice, see if my overlapping workbench area lets me destroy another players ward.

[strange arrow]

Leaving a small patch of terrain with anything attached should stop it breaking

[half dragon]

I'll post into screenshot of what it looks like when it's done properly

[strange arrow]

The reason why I love the new passive mobs and no raids sliders 😅

[hearty niche]

My rec for first-time swamp excursions is:

1. Stay out of the water where possible.
2. DO. NOT. STOP. Keep moving!
3. Keep your eyes peeled for yellow flowers while you're seeking crypts.

[desert flower]

.5) Poison Resist Mead

[latent wraith]

0: Don't rush in but be careful and pay a lot of attention to everything around you.

[half dragon]

constantly moving around will have you encounter more enemies though. Whenever I stayed in 1 spot for a bit longer I encountered less enemies

[latent wraith]

constantly moving if you're not being followed can easily be more deadly than stopping to have a look at what's around you.

[strange arrow]

7. build a longboat asap

[desert flower]

9. Invest in CRYPT-ocurrency

[frigid gust]

42. Kill 3-legged trees

[half dragon]

10. just don't die, ez (a joke, but do try to not die 😂 )

[frigid gust]

Safe portal outside the swamp, walk in if you can. Do not sail directly into the swamp

[half dragon]

those 3 spawner spots gotta be one of the most dangerous areas in the swamp. Either gotta avoid them completely or wipe them out with a proper plan of RUSH IN, smack as many of them as possible before they spawn more enemies

[frigid gust]

Arrows can take out the spawners from a distance, too, with some patience. That's often a good early way to deal with them.

[half dragon]

if they've already spawned enemies tho... guess gotta work on that archery skill

even with poor equipment can destroy 2 of the spawners before I have to start dealing with enemies, but that is because I've got experience dealing with them

[strange arrow]

Starred archers will ruin yr day anyway xD

[uncut bough]

root harnesk will save your day

also a staple in plains, it keeps deathsquito away

[half dragon]

on that note, I'd keep 2 portals. 1 outside of the swamp and 1 inside the swamp preferrably on top of a crypt. basically 100% safe spot to build them

the one outside as backup in case you die while relocating the portal

[pliant hatch]

Especially when you're able to climb up on one of those indestructable trees and snipe things from there.

[half dragon]

unless it's night and a random wraith ambushes you... happened to me once 😂

[paper marsh]

Worst part is when you're just working on a pretty bridge for your house and wraith comes out of nowhere and oneshots you

[latent wraith]

Should've gotten a permit for that bridge building.

[burnt star]

Bro how much stamina do you NEED for angler fish

[frigid gust]

All of it

Seriously though, for fishing I'll often try to go triple stamina just because some of those bastards are crazy annoying to reel in

And just plan on running if I see an enemy 😛

[paper marsh]

good amount. Best practice is triple stamina food of plains/mistlands variety, and possibly a stamina potion

High fishing skill helps a lot tho

[latent wraith]

You can also walk inland, pulling the fish with you towars the shore to lessen the distance you have to reel it.

[paper marsh]

and not throw the line too far out in the first place

[burnt star]

Fishing skill got it

[frigid gust]

Fun fact: if you have an enclosed pond you can catch a fish, throw it back, and catch it again and get XP for it each time.

[desert flower]

PitaBredMon playin' 5d chess over here with the fish

[paper marsh]

I find it kinda silly reeling fish only gives double the xp of reeling nothing

[frigid gust]

That reminds me, I need to dig out the pond near my meadows base to make a proper fish pond for all kinds of fish.

[half dragon]

wut?

How?!?

[frigid gust]

Reeling in nothing gives you XP

Reeling in a fish doubles it

[half dragon]

oh god...

[latent wraith]

Reeling in fish also gives you fish.

[feral parrot]

I think an iron pick axe and a long boat will be my iron makes

[desert flower]

allegedly. That's what the big fishma wants you to believe

[dark fog]

are there public server in valheim?

[frigid gust]

Nope. All servers are community run.

[latent wraith]

Yes and no, it's a single player/co-op game and most people play alone or with friends, but some want to play with strangers and advertise their servers in #1024264966712340510 .

[plush umbra]

That’s been an option?!?!?!?!? How come no one ever shares their fish ponds?

[desert flower]

I imagine because fishing is mostly underutilized by players 😅

[frigid gust]

I've seen a few in #screenshots , but you need to be very picky about location otherwise waves during storms will wash them out, they can jump out, etc. Some players ring the pond with roofs sloping in so that fish can't jump out, etc.

[plush umbra]

It is trash

[plush umbra]

Makes me want to make a giant lake

[half dragon]

also the other problem being can't make a pond on higher ground

[desert flower]

it isn't worth the time, I agree (outside of fish wraps)

[plush umbra]

Well pond with a house on stilts over this enrich

[latent wraith]

Unles you want fish or just want to fish as a relaxing activity, then it's nice.

[frigid gust]

Yeah. I just happen to have an absolutely perfect location for it right next to my base, but it's not common. Gotta find it in a bay, inland so waves aren't as high, you can dig it easily, etc.

[half dragon]

Wish they'd add a way to make our own ponds with a system similar to tar

[plush umbra]

Yeah but you know what would work out really well is those thin rivers you can almost jump across. Raise the ground on either end then lower it on the shores for a big ole pond

[strange arrow]

I really want to love fishing in Valheim

[plush umbra]

We need crsftable aquarium water

[desert flower]

Uses too much stam, imo. Also not enough reward.

feels more tedious than worthwhile

[half dragon]

also apparently loxes know how to climb on top of each other... one of these assholes just gave the other asshole boost and just walked out of the pen 💀

[light moat]

This is why I hate taking lox haha

[frigid gust]

They know how? It's like their favorite hobby

[plush umbra]

Cost opportunity is high with fish

[muted cairn]

Queen drop will be glassblowers pipe. You can make crystal bottles and store water in them. Helps survive Ashland's and build aquarium.

Not really but I like the idea 🙃

[half dragon]

I would make a joke about raising that fence but I don't want to quota that another asshole...

[strange arrow]

All the tames do the clown stacking thing it's just most prominent and annoying with lox

[paper marsh]

how about making a dry pond for the fishies

[half dragon]

excellent

[pliant hatch]

If you got a moat which is deep enough, why not use that as a "pond"?

[paper marsh]

put piranhas in the moat

[frigid gust]

Isn't that just pufferfish?

[latent wraith]

Pufferanhas.

[frigid gust]

The problem is that they don't swim right unless it's wide enough as well as deep enough

[pliant hatch]

A "standard" moat - 10m wide, 8m deep - is wide and deep enough to get them moving.

I did that at my plains base in an MP game I used to play.

[warped wing]

what are maypoles for?

[trail pelican]

adding comfort

[warped wing]

O_O oooh ok

[vocal rivet]

You asked.

[latent wraith]

Also decoration.

[warped wing]

no i mean i thought it had something to do with farming. but if they add comfort that's 1 more minute to rested timer 😂 amazing

or i thought it had no purpose beyond decoration. but they add COMFORT?!? MAYPOLES - HERE I COME 😂

[feral parrot]

How do yall record videos of your playtime? Like I wanna record a 30 second video of my base

[hidden brook]

i use NVidia for anything but its unreliable

[ember panther]

OBS is pretty good

[hidden brook]

if your drivers arent updated and you dont check them sometimes you just wont be able to use it

[pliant hatch]

Windows got a recording option as well

[hidden brook]

Let me clarify nvidia gefore experience

[feral parrot]

My PC is brand new and pretty legit.. windows 11 has an option then? I’ll have to look in to it

Also, thumbs up for nvidia stock investment 3 months ago 🤌👍

[hidden brook]

😂 you up?

[feral parrot]

Just a little lol

[hidden brook]

nice nice

[pliant hatch]

Windows key + [alt] + G brings up the entire option.
Windows key + [alt] + R starts and stops the recording.

[hidden brook]

oh game bar

oh lord i remember using that im glad i moved on 😂

[half dragon]

have tried it and it works okay

but... okay at best

[hidden brook]

is my moat a little too deep? #screenshots

[half dragon]

I'd only use it if can't bother to install anything else and don't need it for anything too important

[frigid gust]

Too deep for what? Only issue is if you can't get out of it if you fall in.

[hidden brook]

Too deep for anything i mean surely theres a limit to where youre just digging to dig lol

as in all mobs get trapped but deeper

[frigid gust]

8m is the max below or above the beginning ground level so too deep is only a matter of preference 😛

[hidden brook]

ahh okay thank you

[half dragon]

max depth is fine, mobs will not path find their way down there

[hidden brook]

how does a moat even work? cus if theres a bridge closed off surely they just break the doors to the bridge and go through?

[hearty niche]

The music in the Plains always reminds me of a really sad arrangement of "Home on the Range"

[paper marsh]

yes. Which is why you don't wanna have a bridge if you want the base to be fully safe

[hidden brook]

frick

[paper marsh]

Could always jump over the moat, or make a bridge but just have the bridge not fully connecting. If there's just a small gap between the bridge and the ground mobs cant pathfind onto it

[hidden brook]

i made the moat barely jump over-able

[hearty niche]

I'm not sure monsters can patfhind over core wood logs?

I think its possible to create a bridge you can traverse but monsters cannot

[hidden brook]

also iron buckler or silver shield?

[frigid gust]

They can, but I think they have problems if there's a 1m gap between them

[ember panther]

Silver shield 👌

[hidden brook]

can it parry all the dmg like the iron buckler?

[paper marsh]

silver shield 👌

[hidden brook]

or does it parry at all?

[paper marsh]

yea. It kinda sucks its only a 1.5x multiplier but it'll still be better than the iron shield because its a tier higher

[hidden brook]

alright thanks

please be no more than 10 iron 🤞

lets gooo

[ember panther]

You can also pick a style when building a silver shield

[rustic cairn]

no, I've build a city wall made only of fallen logs it works fine

[hidden brook]

yuuup i see that

thank you

[frigid gust]

You mean fallen logs and making a bridge out of it? We were talking about corewood construction, and if you do 1m gaps between each cross-member the enemies can't pathfind over it IIRC.

[rustic cairn]

use vertical shafts to push the logs around, you can place it inside a fallen log and it'll shove it until it's outside. repeat as oiften as needed, and use it as a fulcrum when you need to turn the log

[rustic cairn]

that's different then. I don't build anything on the floor

There is a better way to handle mobs for security if you like to build on flat ground, but let me count the distance between underground security posts

8 long corewood between tier 1 benches with a stone cap over them, in a diamond pattern

[wide zodiac]

should i do 2 health and 1 stam or 1 health and 2 stam food for bonemass?

[rustic cairn]

#screenshots message

[hearty niche]

Solo or fighting with friends?

[wide zodiac]

solo fight

[rustic cairn]

1 hp and 2 stam. but bring posion resist

[hearty niche]

I go health-heavy in solo battles planning on it taking a long time.

I've found I can more easily extract myself from the battle to rgain stamina than I can to regain health.

Walk away, chug Tasty Mead, go back in whereas you can only do that w/ health every 2 minutes.

but that could depend a lot on a person's play style

[rustic cairn]

stamina if you're skilled, health if not.

[wide zodiac]

oh i didnt know tasty mead had really good buffs

[hearty niche]

It helps for getting stamina back quickly and you can drink one every 10s instead of 2m.

[ember panther]

1 health 1 stamina 1 jerky. Perfectly balanced

[half dragon]

Surely 4 meters tall fence is tall enough to keep these acrobat loxes in the pen right?
... right?

[frigid gust]

4m? Like, a single corewood pole? Ehh.. as long as they don't get too feisty. I've seen them stack up three high.

[half dragon]

god damn these stupid lizards

[frigid gust]

The problem with Jerky is that it has vastly inferior total stats. It's fine for a resource-efficient base food, but it's generally a terrible idea for boss fights, etc.

[half dragon]

eh, was perfectly fine for moder. but wouldn't use in plains anymore

bread for example is quite easy and simple food for replacing jerky

well takes more effort since kinda have to upgrade your kitchen game first...

[plush umbra]

i'll have none of this jerky slander in here >:(

[half dragon]

yea! no need to be a jerk

[frigid gust]

If jerky wasn't so bad, it wouldn't need to be slandered 😛

starts a fight for no reason

[plush umbra]

the point is that it's vastly cheaper than anything else. cost-wise it's basically like leaving a food slot empty except you actually get some stats out of that empty slot.

[frigid gust]

Yeah. Like I said, an efficient base puttering food, but not really ideal for boss fights 😉

[plush umbra]

one ingredient farms itself (honey) and the other you drown in after spending 5 minutes in mountains (wolf meat)

[light moat]

I myself am I jerky lover 🤌

[plush umbra]

I can’t eat jerky but I love jerk chicken

[frigid gust]

Turkey or pork jerky? It's not quite the same, but it can be tasty if the issue is beef

[wide zodiac]

do too many torches cause a lot of fps lag?

[desert flower]

yes

I believe there's a slider setting for reducing light quality which can help, but not 100% sure.

[frigid gust]

You can reduce the point light sources, which is basically how many lights can produce light at a given time. But yes, additional light sources = more lag.

[paper marsh]

I think it also depends on the type of light source. Like regular torches have an animation that drains performance, but something like a dvergr circlet on an item stand, or a ||wisp || torch is static and provides less performance issues

[half dragon]

pretty sure only difference is that point lights create shadows = going to eat more resources. Setting point lights to 0 doesn't disable any of the light sources

They just don't create shadows

[wide zodiac]

so i just gotta turn off shadows to reduce lag in my base?

[frigid gust]

Play with all those sliders. The other thing with bases is that if you have too many instances it's just going to be slow, period.

[empty bison]

is there option/mode only for food drops to increase by like 0,5? (1,5). I am fine by all, but I hate farming animal parts/blueberries etc 1 by 1 for 2 people. Its taking so much time and by time I have some, I already ate half of them

[uncut bough]

unfortunately, no, you can increase the resource rate, which means you get more of everything, not JUST food

[paper marsh]

nope. Best option would be trying to find a mod for it or deciding to spawn in some once you've gone a trip to gather a bunch

[uncut bough]

so picking berry bush gives you 2 berries if resource rate is x2, but that means doing anything else gives you x2 rate, like getting wood, getting stone

[light moat]

Is your friend doing their part in farming and foraging? Might help ease the burden.

[uncut bough]

a true friend never do that, they afk in the house and let the time flows by

[frigid gust]

I find 1.5x to be pretty reasonable as a solo player, and is likely enough for a multiplayer context. It's a little OP with like, cores and such since it straight up doubles single drops, but otherwise it feels "right" without being too grindy.

[paper marsh]

nuh uh. True friends use their time proactively to use your resources and food to upgrade their own gear and go adventuring but not bring anything back

[half dragon]

at least surtling cores are overly abundant anyway as soon as you find a geyser

[frigid gust]

Yeah, more so with the black cores and such

[uncut bough]

the pain when my friend eats all the luxury food like Cooked Serpent meat + serpent stew just so he can visit swamp

while i was pinching pennies and eating deer stew, minced meat sauce and carrot soup

[desert flower]

Build a personal chest! and put all your food in it. Or, bury your chest in the floorboard of your house. That's what I do.

[paper marsh]

A good friend would provide their friend with good food to go to swamp so he/she can stay safe!

[uncut bough]

yes he did eat cooked serpent meat just like that, and i still weep

[paper marsh]

Also I eat cooked serpent + serpent stew + sausages in swamp sometimes

[uncut bough]

well, he was clueless, so i can still forgive him, it is game after all

[desert flower]

a second option is to talk to your friend, lol

[uncut bough]

point is, it is overkill

[frigid gust]

Pshaw! Talking is for losers, better to punish your good friends with no context when they don't even realize what they did!

[uncut bough]

he knows, he was a bit confused since he didn't play too often, but once i said so he is receptive

[paper marsh]

for most people yea

[uncut bough]

because i spend time dwelling wiki and search for food duration and heal and best food for each biome

[paper marsh]

I've been hit by 200 damage in .2 seconds in swamp before tho, sometimes its nice

[desert flower]

i still vote for hidden chest int he floorboards.

[frigid gust]

When I play with others we often have our own rooms, and just respect each other's spaces. But at the end of the day, you just need to talk and come to an accord, and if you can't you probably shouldn't be playing a co-op game with that kind of person.

[mortal raven]

how do I use the dvergr tankard?

well and the regular one

[paper marsh]

its mainly cosmetic. Just makes you drink the mead that's closest to the top left of your inventory

[frigid gust]

You can equip it like a weapon, and it will drink your meads automatically from your inventory

[mortal raven]

tysm

[frigid gust]

I find it best used as decoration instead of functional, though 😉

[paper marsh]

mead horns are cool but what if they were useful! #suggestions message

[mortal raven]

ill try smth out with it

[empty bison]

no, he builds houses etc, which I am not good at really haha

[empty bison]

I am thinking, maybe create new world with 2x resources and go gathering there for a while, then return to our origin

[paper marsh]

another good option

[frigid gust]

You can just change your existing world to 1.5x too. You can change it back and forth at any time, there are no penalties to changing those options.

[hearty niche]

What if the end goal is killing Odin and the whole reason he did this was because he thought we'd never be tough enough to escape?

Or giant Hugin.

[hidden brook]

the snow boss is yagluth right?

ah moder

well how do i prepare for him? ive got all wolf armor, iron mace.... okay i should get a silver one nvm

whats the next weapon above the iron mace?

[pliant hatch]

Frostner in the mountains, porcupine in the plains.

[hidden brook]

ah i see, how do i get ymir flesh?

[cunning monolith]

Haldor sells it.

[pliant hatch]

Buy it from Haldor

[hidden brook]

got it thank you

[pliant hatch]

Also, better get yourself a good bow.
Moder will take off into flight once in while, so you need to shoot at her.
Or wait until she's landed before facing her with melee again.

[hidden brook]

got it thank you

what else should i buy? thunder stone? should i fish? dverger cicrlet yule hat? (ive got megingjord)

1630 coins on me rn

[ember panther]

I'd say yes. Gold becomes kind of abundant and there's not much to spend on. Dverger circles are good light sources when placed on trophy stands. Thunderstone is useful for reducing the abundance of garbage you get

[hidden brook]

620 coins 😭

how much thunder stone for an obliterator?

[pliant hatch]

Dverger circlet may be useful for the ice caves and invested mines later.
Yule hat is just a "wanna have" item. Not very useful, but fun to have nevertheless

[ember panther]

Fishing is a pass time that is only sort of okay... I'd get it anyway cause I wanna catch every fish

[hidden brook]

what do they do in ice caves?

[ember panther]

Just 1 I believe?

[hidden brook]

yup just 1 i searched up

[ember panther]

But you may want extra for other bases so I'd get a few more

[pliant hatch]

They provide you with light.

So it's more useful as a torch

[hidden brook]

ah okay

whats frost on the frostner? and isnt the slash alot worse than blunt?

[pliant hatch]

Frost can be seen as ice-damage and will slow down enemies.
That weapon will be very useful in the next biome.

[hidden brook]

ah okay, so what should i do for this boss? freeze him and switch to mace?

[ember panther]

Last time I just used a bow the entire time

[hidden brook]

alright thanks

i need feathers maaaan

[ember panther]

Draugr fang will still apply poison to wood arrows. It's slower but adds up

[hidden brook]

alright also thank you

[pliant hatch]

I dug out a small shelter under the altar, added a fire and a workbench and attacked Moder with a bow and a lot of fire arrows.

Moder is imune to Frost, Spirt (two of Frostner's abilities) and stagger.
So a bow and fire arrows and a sword will be a better choice, I think

[hidden brook]

alright thanks, is blunt or slash better?

[ember panther]

It'd be the same. Moder has no resistances. Only immunities as thorin mentioned

[hidden brook]

alright gotcha, i guess ill stick with iron mace then?

[pliant hatch]

Just use your favorite melee weapon, as long as it isn't Frostner

[hidden brook]

woluld a club work?
joke

[uncut bough]

wym as long as not frostner

[pliant hatch]

As far as I'm concerned you can even use a torch for the melee fight.
But it may take a while before she's down.

[hidden brook]

lmao

what mad man discovered that?

[uncut bough]

it is theoretical, as in you can just go ham with fists, but of course unless u r masochist, you don't do that

[hidden brook]

theres alot of crazy people playing valheim like the dude who defeated the game as a pacifist

[uncut bough]

wolfpacks are crazy so that isn't too hard

[frigid gust]

What, just pockets full of pufferfish and refined eitr?

[latent wraith]

Breeding an army of wolves to be a killing machine hardly counts as pacifist, tbh.

[hidden brook]

i know but its just impressive, some spots you cant get wolves in and hestill passed

for bonemass he glitched inside a tree and set wooden spikes inside to kill him cause he "voluntarily" walks into the spikes lool

took him about an hour and a half so the dedication is crazy

[uncut bough]

but the boss still has to be killed

[hidden brook]

wolves...

it was 3 years ago and i think he updated it last year. he got to yagluth at that time i think those were all the bosses

[ember panther]

Impossible to do mistlands boss that way

[hidden brook]

no he did it i think

yup he did

[paper marsh]

Well mistlands boss didn’t exist back then so I assume he didn’t

[hidden brook]

he updated last year

[hidden brook]

here

id post a link but just search up " I Beat Mistlands as a Pacifist in Valheim "

[ember panther]

Ah he used dead raiser

[azure yacht]

Raiser's skeletons are at least plains-tier strong.

Tho they do still have the same weaknesses skeletons do so a club fuling kills them easily. But they do still have merit

Especially against soldiers as them targeting skeletons means you can hit their backs

[hidden brook]

dude was dedicated thoo

is obsidian used for anything other than arrows?

[frigid gust]

There's one workbench upgrade as well, but frost, poison and obsidian arrows are all very powerful in general.

[hidden brook]

alr thanks

[paper marsh]

Skeletons can get kinda busted on VH high Blood mag

300 damage per hit iirc, so 900 if each one takes a hit

[ember panther]

Obsidian could really use some more recipes... Hopefully we get some with Ashlands. Heck it would even make more sense to get obsidian from there

[hidden brook]

do pufferfish float in water after they die?

[hidden brook]

fr obsidian is basically useless, im glad theres so much but theres one use, arrows, and you can find obsidian everywhere

[ember panther]

Fish will come back to life if put in water

[hidden brook]

no i mean if they die do the parts float in water? do they sink?

[slender dagger]

@warped wing my headset ran out of battery

[hidden brook]

valheim in vr dude omds

[ember panther]

I dont believe you can kill them?? Like you mean when they are beached or in your inventory?

[uncut bough]

they dont die

[nocturne wolf]

Fish dont die

[hidden brook]

oh 🤦‍♂️

[uncut bough]

even if you hold them hostage in the chest for a full year straight, it still moves

fish in valheim is just shrimply built different

[serene talon]

it's as shrimple as that

[paper marsh]

Time to make a lava pond for my invincible fish

[ember panther]

Mm interested to see what'll happen when tossed in lava 😂

[hidden brook]

will my boat float away if i leave it by the shore?

[nocturne wolf]

Boats anchor/freeze when no players are nearby

[hidden brook]

okay thanks

[merry pebble]

also it will stop immediately when you jump off 😄

[hidden brook]

oh okay i was thinking it would float away with the waves

[nocturne wolf]

I always go full speed into an island and jump off right before it hits something

[pliant hatch]

The only time a boat would "drift away" is when a monster tries to destroy it and pushes it further off the coast.

[merry pebble]

same 😄

also, for now, its possible to stop the boat in place by opening the storage, tho that will change in the next patch 😄

[lean dock]

It's April, great movies and tv shows are coming out, this makes me feel like Ashlands is right around the corner

[nocturne wolf]

It could be, depending on how long around the corner means for you. It should be out in the first half of the year.

[merry pebble]

well they are less than a 3 months away 😄

[lean dock]

Im going with April

Quick, someone check if there are any planned holidays in Scandinavia this month

[azure yacht]

Something tells me that if they were to release the ptb, it would be on a Thursday or Friday.

That way many people could have the weekend available to test while they rest until Monday

[trim dust]

I’m like cursed when I play this game, basically whenever I start a new world I have to go at least 20-30km from spawn just to find a swamp biome, more like 40-50 to find one with an actual crypt

[paper marsh]

Isn't that just in multiplayer?

[merry pebble]

i think i managed to did it on singleplayer? might be my memory playing tricks tho, will go check.

[vocal rivet]

Yes, and it's fixed now anyway.

[paper marsh]

yea I'm not sure either

[merry pebble]

yeah, its not important in the slightest, but i will still check 😄

[regal spoke]

It's normal for boats to change position after parking? Had this happen a couple times. Intrigued at most

[merry pebble]

yep, only multiplayer it seems 😄

[merry pebble]

maybe mobs pushing it?

[buoyant reef]

I've noticed spears are really bad at doing basic things that every other weapon can do

Like spears can't hit spawners, they're too low I guess

[merry pebble]

it is certainly a weapon you have to learn how to play with 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Throwing allows them to hit low targets

[midnight olive]

spears attack crazy fast for their damage tho

[regal spoke]

I thought the same Asatru. Noticed this happened typically after relogging. Where the boat would be aligned differently

[buoyant reef]

It's really not helping that this Draugr spawner keeps spawning elites

Elites and archers

[nocturne wolf]

Make a mace when you can, you’ll need one for bonemass anyway.

[merry pebble]

well not really "need" but it will certainly make the fight easier 😄

[pliant hatch]

Draugr are quite vunerable to hits by an axe, as I've noticed.

[uncut bough]

i did not know that packing chicks too tight makes some of the chicken die

i threw 60 eggs into a room with fire and when i came back, already some feathers are on the floor

[nocturne wolf]

Free feathers

[uncut bough]

and after everything i got 57 meat, so 3 chicken died prematurely

[loud valve]

Sounds like a quick way to farm chicken meat

[uncut bough]

Chicken, is not hen, hen is already grown up and chicken is not, so chicken die prematurely dont give guaranteed meat

Also not guaranteed feather either

Because if they do i wouldnt have wanted for them to grow up, i just need for eggs to hatch and then it is swinging time with butcher knife

[hidden brook]

wait did the boats recently make the flag thingy automatic?

i remember you could rotate them manually?

[nocturne wolf]

What flag?

[hidden brook]

on the boats the sail

[uncut bough]

The mast

[hidden brook]

mast yeah i remember thjey could be rotated m,anually what happened?

[nocturne wolf]

I don’t know, I probably haven’t been playing long enough.

[hidden brook]

i mean maybe like 5 months thats it

[nocturne wolf]

Well I don’t remember it then… I’m sure sails always rotated automatically

[hidden brook]

hm it doesnt matter anyway its just a thing i remember

[wide zodiac]

do i need to make an iron pickaxe to mine silver ore?

[pliant hatch]

yes

[wide zodiac]

man getting more iron scrap is so painful

[hidden brook]

im on a small islandwhy did the ground shake

uhm how do i get back onto a boat

[plush umbra]

Do you play raft?

[hidden brook]

nope never played it

[wide zodiac]

theres a ladder on the side

[plush umbra]

Also the paddle can be used from the water

[hidden brook]

what was that tiny island what was that

why did it suddenly sink

[plush umbra]

Did you mine anything on it?

[pliant hatch]

That was a leviathan

[hidden brook]

yes some barnacles

[plush umbra]

It’s a big creature

[hidden brook]

what was i supposed to do?

[plush umbra]

There’s chance per barnacle or something that it sinks

[hidden brook]

ah

[plush umbra]

You just got some really nice material for a knife or for the only nice way to move tames

If you’re in swamp tier progression or below the knife is really nice

[hidden brook]

i only got 3

oh 12 chitin nvm i mined 3 barnacles but 12

[plush umbra]

That is bad luck my friend 🍀

[hidden brook]

im mountain level what can i use it for

[pliant hatch]

The "famous" harpoon

[plush umbra]

It’s 30 chitin for harpoon

The knife is 20 but you’re past its usefulness

[hidden brook]

also what was i suppoed to do with the leviathan if i had the supposed appropriate gear?

[plush umbra]

You do have the appropriate gear

[kind pendant]

I found yagluth! Completely out of context in this conversation but I’m absolutely hyped right now!

[plush umbra]

Well more than appropriate

[plush umbra]

Big win regardless

[hidden brook]

well how would i kill him?

[kind pendant]

It’s been a pain, the relief I’m enjoying right now is off the charts

[plush umbra]

You did the only thing you can with them. Mine

[hidden brook]

i thought u could kill them?

[plush umbra]

Nope

[hidden brook]

what are those leviathan scales people get? or what scales am i thinking of...

[kind pendant]

Serpent scales

[hidden brook]

ah okay those ones nvm

[plush umbra]

You can actually start a world, kill eikthyr, make an abyssal razor and just have an iron tier knife in the blackforest

Any pickaxe is all you need but faster ones give you more time

[hidden brook]

oh ok, well i saw an abyssal sword?

[kind pendant]

Don’t exist

[hidden brook]

i saw a recipe for it appear i swear 😭

[halcyon blade]

There is only the abyssal razor (the knife) and the abyssal harpoon.

[vocal rivet]

So it was clear they meant the razor.

[hidden brook]

yeah i saw razor and sword

[pliant hatch]

Are you using Mods?

[halcyon blade]

There is no abyssal sword in vanilla.

[plush umbra]

That would explain it for sure

[hidden brook]

naw i probably saw wrong

[plush umbra]

Also explains it

There’s a lot going on when you pick up your first chitin and those recipes flash by

[kind pendant]

Also people of experience or that just know yagluth, I have a question fir them

Is yagluth really all that hard? I’ve seen prepare for it like they’re going up against a “2 star” boss

[plush umbra]

We don’t have an answer for you though

[plush umbra]

Be prepared to play a lil running simulator and don’t forget fire resist

[kind pendant]

Of course, I’m going to make some the second I get to

But after checking some stats, he doesn’t seem to be too much of a problem, definitely will have a few loxes with me.

Or am I missing something

[pliant hatch]

You can find how to deal with him, his resistances and vulnerabilities at the Wiki.

But "a few Loxes" may not be enough.

[kind pendant]

I checked. Not sure, but isn’t chop against built items?

[hidden brook]

when do you get chickens???

[kind pendant]

After yagluth

[hidden brook]

alr thanks

[empty bison]

1,5 resources modifier is 50% chance for double?

[pliant hatch]

No, it means you get 1.5 times the resources. All resources that usually drop as a single item will be rounded up to double the drop.

i.e. a 2* draugr usually drops 2 entrails, but will drop 3 entrails with the 1.5 times modifier.
a 1* draugr usually drop 1 entrails, but will drop 2 entrails because the number (1.5) is rounded up.

[empty bison]

ah thanks. Thats pitty, I would welcome boost to my world, but not exactly ,,double,,

lot of materials are alright, just food is taking so much time

[uncut bough]

isn't there already a x2 resource rate though?

last time i checked there is even a x3

[near furnace]

correct ^

[uncut bough]

no lie detected

i am so losing my mind, the game is actively hiding Soft tissue away from me

i saw a place that looks like an excavation site, but it is infested with seekers so i don't think i will be there any time soon

[empty bison]

yeah, thats why I thhought that 1,5 would be 50% chance for second material, which would be cool when playing as duo and not having ton of time

[hidden brook]

what else is there to mine on a leviathan other than barnacles?

[tepid prawn]

You can also get them from Hildirs Quest sealed tower before killing Yagluth

[hidden brook]

aha okay thanks

there is no way i just departed from base, without eggs to moodor, i set the portal to the wrong name...

i meant modor

[uncut bough]

nothing, just barnacles

killing Yagluth dont give eggs, only unlocks option to buy eggs, from Haldor

1500 Valheim Money for 1 egg

[hidden brook]

i meant modor

[tepid prawn]

free eggs in Sealed Tower though

[paper marsh]

*Moder

Means mother

[hidden brook]

idk why im even going im unprepared with no arrows 😂

[paper marsh]

Arrows are quite nice, but you can melee combat too

[hidden brook]

petition to remove greylings

[tepid prawn]

train a wolf army, no more greylings near it

[uncut bough]

no, melee combat is so outdated, move to 100% arrow combat

[pliant hatch]

And loose that free sparring partner to skill your parrying and blocking?

[tepid prawn]

I prefer skellies especially the event for that

[uncut bough]

i wish the wolves just stay in 1 place, instead they keep running to Andromeda and then i never see them again, or maybe i see....what is left of them

i thought the wolves multiply fast when let outside cuz they hunt on their own, but instead they are so spread out that they don't even reproduce

while raids/ night time creature ( fulings) costs my wolves army dearly

[tepid prawn]

in one of my worlds I have 2 wolf towers for 2 stars, unlimited wolfs didnt even miss it if I lost 40

[paper marsh]

What’s the point of all those wolves?

[tepid prawn]

companionship? things to pet? they're beautiful? also fun to take 40 wolves to a fuling village

my first Yag kill was with 40ish wolves as well

[paper marsh]

Hmm I can understand the first 3 although it’s not what I lean towards.

Don’t they make fights boring tho? I’d imagine you don’t have to do much of the wolves just run around doing all the work

[hidden brook]

my carrots vanished

[tepid prawn]

They are relatively squishy even 2 stars but do a lot of damage, in Plains they die a lot and in Mistlands even more so if you take them there. The good thing is you can just take a smaller amount sometimes and still go out without wolves but I love to have them if I want to go on a RAMPAGE where I don't do the most damage and where they take apart a fuling village without me having to do anything to add variety if that makes sense

[hidden brook]

my carrots disappeared into thin air ☹️

[paper marsh]

I mean they prob got destroyed by mobs?

[hidden brook]

no in boxes

im such a dunce dude i left them at the mountan base 🤦‍♂️

[limber vale]

Howdy fellow Vikings

[hidden brook]

i underestimated the fenris armor

[lunar sapphire]

ooh, is my Viking mail here?

I do have some mail armour being worked on, but it's a little less Viking and more Crusader-y.

On V hard I use fenris a good amount, even in mistlands

[paper marsh]

Even bigger if you’re switching over from heavy armor which gives -10%

[hidden brook]

ohhh thats why im so fast

wait wolf armor has no -% speed

[paper marsh]

Full fenris with a knife vs full wolf with a battle axe. Try out that movement difference 😂

[paper marsh]

Yea it does. No helmets do tho

[hidden brook]

I forgot to put on my 6% fenris on im so much faster omg

[paper marsh]

Which is why people often opt for heavy armor helmets because they protect but don’t slow

Run skill affects speed too, up to 25%! High run all fenris go BRRRRR

[hidden brook]

yeah dont doubt

15% sounds alot slower than it is

[uncut bough]

how it feels wearing fenring armor: i am fast af boi

it is just good using speed as a weapon

[paper marsh]

I like knives because they don’t slow you down. Dual wield knives and you don’t need a shield either

[light moat]

Fenris armor is just so cool

I prefer heavier sets (cosmetically), but wow the fenris set looks so good!

[hidden brook]

does fenris contribute to attack speed?

if it makes u run faster it should make u attack faster it only makes sense

[paper marsh]

Nope

[light moat]

That might make it too OP

[paper marsh]

But it does make the flesh rippers hit harder

And it makes you move horizontally while falling, faster

Im sad movement speed doesn’t let you swim@faster

[hidden brook]

chest makes u attack faster, remove the speed effect, legs make you faster

why a thumbs down 😭 it only seems right

[paper marsh]

Fenris plenty good already

And I think if you balance it by only giving a small effect to movement and small effect to attack it wouldn’t be noticeable enough

[hidden brook]

truee but moving faster makes sense to make u attack faster

[cobalt token]

Fenris confirmed slaps

[hidden brook]

ah ok yeah makes sense but its good anyway true

[paper marsh]

Kinda yea

I just want the other fenris effects to be more useful

[hidden brook]

what are the other effects?

[paper marsh]

Fire resist and +15 to fist skill

Oh and frost resist

[digital turret]

Guys what is the new steam download... It's not the one, is it?

Was scheduled for Monday at 4:19am

[paper marsh]

Dunno about any scheduled ones but Ashlands isn’t out yet, PTB or fully

[rustic cairn]

Heyo soft when are you ready to jump in

[rustic cairn]

Fenris or the abomination chest piece. Both are god tier

[cobalt token]

💯, throw in serpent scale shield, pierce damage ain't nothing

[azure yacht]

Yes because running is literally the same as somehow becoming better at swinging weapons

Usain bolt must be the best swordmaster on earth

[rustic cairn]

you've never played on hardcore then

[cobalt token]

Oh no.... I haven't. Yet

[rustic cairn]

no amount of armor helps, only good resistances

and lots of skill and experience

[paper marsh]

Might be able to join in in about an hour. Travel over there

[rustic cairn]

I'm already here, need to sail a guy now before he goes to work

[paper marsh]

Even on Very Hard Pierce resistance shield with Pierce resistance chest piece makes seekers damage a piece of cake

[rustic cairn]

If you're around to sit on the boat hop on otherwise I'll be back for you

[paper marsh]

Ah can’t rn. With directions I might be able to sail myself

[rustic cairn]

I can ngive you a half finished map

about 30 minutes sail on decent weather

[azure yacht]

Deathsquitos hit me for around 30 dmg with padded helmet lvl 2, chest harnesk and padded greaves on very hard.

1/3 of their base dmg on the highest difficulty. If I didn't hate them I'd feel sad

[rustic cairn]

ah but I'm a mage and never take HP food, without pierce resist I'm instakilled. especially since I rarely eat more than a single meal to ration our supplies, those mosquito buggers just come out of nowhere sometimes. Typically I'm running around relatively safe areas with a single uncooked blue mushroom inn my belly

[hidden brook]

not in that way but it does makes ense

[white mural]

i found my first bits of fenris fur and such in a cave, sadly i think this bit of mountain won't find me another cave

[narrow umbra]

Makes no sense to me that killing a Fenris doesn't yield Fenris fur ... is it just me or is that odd?

[hidden brook]

there was a draugr IN a rock

and i nearly died after travelling for 30 minutes by boat

[narrow umbra]

Carry Port al materials in your boat

[hidden brook]

i have them on me but they were literally everywhere and one was INSIDE a rock

[narrow umbra]

Yeah mobs sometimes spawn inside rocks, trees, etc. Even commodities can spawn in odd places.

I've found Tin deposit inside a large rock on the river bank ...

[azure yacht]

Just you.

It's a fenring, not fenris

[hidden brook]

why my moder gotta be near the plains man

[narrow umbra]

Well that makes more sense now ...

[hidden brook]

can someone tell me if im ready for moder? #screenshots

[lusty latch]

Are ballistas supposed to shoot us?

[safe flower]

I’ve always wondered when your sailing on a boat with an other player, and you disconnect, will you log back on still on the boat? Or just dumped in the ocean?

I’ve often logged out while on a boat and logged back on still on it, but always wondered that surely there’s a bit of drift with weather while players are still online with the boat sitting on its own

[arctic garnet]

I'm kinda sad we haven't seen a new ship yet.

[safe flower]

Is there one with Ashlands? I thought there is

[uncut bough]

man it is raining hard in my world, raining in meadows, Black Forest, plains, mistlands

[white mural]

i mean, fenris is the big huge wolf about to eat the sun, so yeah, i guess there is a difference

[hidden brook]

why is moder so hard solo 😭

[uncut bough]

and the rain somehow spawns way more fulings in plains

[white mural]

also, should i get fenris set or wolf armour?

[gaunt galleon]

How many players have found any iron gate easter eggs? Things I've noticed along the way, how the music changes around points of interest, cryptic messages on the runestones, etc. The one that got me curious says something like you are standing on a graveyard of mighty civilization... Has anyone ever found anything cool by digging? Just curious how many other players have noticed or found cool stuff along the way...

[hidden brook]

fenris is so op for moder omg i just realised

nvm im struggling 😭

[vocal rivet]

Yes, unless you target them by placing a trophy in them.

[hidden brook]

we a 1/4 of the way down from moder 🙏

[uncut bough]

real easter egg: There is a build piece called Iron Gate in game, Iron Gate easter egg real 😱 😱

[hidden brook]

when the crystals of moder break after his air attack i keep thinking a golem is spawning lmao

i got moder lets goo

there is a serpent i am on a boat what do i do

land nearby but its swamp so risky

asks for a fight then dips bruh

oh it dieeed

i poisoned him and he died

soooo what do i do with serpent meat??? only thing i got

wait do scales sink?

[vocal rivet]

*her

[uncut bough]

Wait blob raid is not turned off when defeating boneass?

Just got a fowl smell from the swamp message and sure enough it was blob

[rustic cairn]

yes

[hidden brook]

thats awful to say the least

[uncut bough]

Best thing

[hidden brook]

but i wanted the scaes 🙁

[uncut bough]

Serpent meat let you cook from iron cooking station or sth, gives u cooked serpent meat

[hidden brook]

thats balls icl

[uncut bough]

You dont need the scales, the shield u get out of scales is not that good

Though it do have pierce rez for the sheidl

[hidden brook]

oh its just the shield it can make?

[uncut bough]

Yes

[rustic cairn]

its a very beautiful shield

[uncut bough]

Best thing is the meat and u got it, maybe its trophy too if u consider fishing

But idk if it sinks as well soooo

[hidden brook]

ok im glad i didnt get it then, it did sink

[uncut bough]

Yea u get banded shield, u r grucci

Scale shield is tower shield, so no parryin

Just pure block power

[rustic cairn]

I parry with my staff

[uncut bough]

As i said best part is the meat, highest health food up to plains, and some of the highest health food in mistland, maybe top 2-3 or sth

And that is already crazy good

[hidden brook]

alr thanks

why am i boating back to base when i can just setup a teleport

[paper marsh]

you're embracing the no-teleporting run even if you have teleporters

[hidden brook]

it takes sooo long

25 minutes man 1/3 of the way left ☹️

[paper marsh]

You will enjoy the power Moder gives you once you put her head on a hook

[hidden brook]

whats the power?

actually naw dpmt te;; ,e
idk what the frick happened there but dont tell me

[paper marsh]

yea I'm not gonna. Joy of discovery!

[hidden brook]

it wont let me see the powers

im hovering over her head

the power doesnt make sense to me lol

im sticking with bonemass

[kind pelican]

Bonemass is the goat
Maybe look at the stone instead
It provides favorable winds (tailwind) any direction you face for 5minutes

[paper marsh]

what does it say?

[hidden brook]

||Always tailwind to a boat|| which i understand but im still sticking to bonemass

[paper marsh]

bonemass is generally more useful. Moder is just for if you have a long sail and don't wanna get stuck in bad wind, like when you were sailing to find Moder. Can always switch it back when you get to your destination (just always have a portal where you switch powers)

Elder and Moder are very situational. Eikthyr and Bonemass are almost always useful

[round thicket]

Like it makes the wind always in your favor

[kind pelican]

I hope Ashlands will give us a reason to use yagluth power
Bonemass kind of outshadows it

[paper marsh]

Yea hopefully there's more lightning damage

[kind pelican]

I want polar bears in the deep north

Volibear thunder bear type beat

[hidden brook]

ah ok so ill just switch when im setting off

also is the artisan table an upgrade to a workbench or is it a workbench on its own?

[kind pelican]

The latter

[hidden brook]

what is a missile 😭

[kind pelican]

Hmmm I wonder

[hidden brook]

idfk is it a rocket?

[kind pelican]

Oh seriously? Yes consider it a big big arrow or cross bolt

[hidden brook]

ah alright thanks

[kind pelican]

Ya like rakeity

[hidden brook]

rakeity?

[kind pelican]

Idk I translated to Polish

[hidden brook]

oh rakiety 😂 no thats also rockets

[paper marsh]

gotta figure it out! takes a bit to figure out tho

I had fun watching my friend struggle to figure out how to use it, and getting so excited each time he thought he was onto something only to end up disappointed

[hidden brook]

pure evil

how long it take for those fire enemies to respawn?

[paper marsh]

surtlings? I think 5 minutes

[hidden brook]

that stinks

[paper marsh]

always spawns 3

[hidden brook]

is it a 100% drop chance of surtling?

i killed 3 and only got 2...

give us water guns to shoot at surtlings

[warped wing]

i lured a troll into the swamp and now he's duking it out with two wraiths 😂

[hidden brook]

good i hate them trolls

always chilling and them theres a troll, most of the time not even in the dark forest just on the edge

[paper marsh]

50% chance for surtling core

I'm surprised at how well a troll does against a small fuling camp

[warped wing]

troll won O_O Wraiths died

[paper marsh]

nice

[warped wing]

he also killed a blob. and some draugr. but draugr archer had the advantage 😂

i think leeches were there too

[wide zodiac]

How many pigs can you guys keep before you start noticing any lag?

[loud valve]

I can keep about 5 pigs before an accident kills them all

[echo mural]

does enabling depth of field boost your fps? feels like it

[hidden brook]

build the breeder pigs up into the air

[loud valve]

My pigs can't fly

[hidden brook]

ramp to the sky platform whatever

[wide zodiac]

im building a stone bunker for my piggies rn

[loud valve]

Pigs can't use stairs properly

[hidden brook]

roof ramp 26*

[wide zodiac]

im gonna make it 2 stone blocks thick

[hidden brook]

push them up

[patent pawn]

I threw a fang spear, and it ceased to exist...

any ideas for where it could've gone?

[loud valve]

Roofs are for coverage, not walking

The direction you threw it

[patent pawn]

i looked until i hit the ocean

[hidden brook]

are you eing sarcastic 😭

[loud valve]

It could be in the ocean

Spears float

[patent pawn]

i found it

several times further away than it should've been

It went over my 3 tall spike walls

stakewall*

[wide zodiac]

will flying enemies tear through thatch roofs?

im starting to think my 2 stone black thick stone bunker for my pigs is gonna be useless if the enemies can just attack from above

[frigid gust]

They can eventually, but raid enemies will target you ahead of your base, so just don't try to hide inside and your livestock should be fine

[warped wing]

so... what do i need to fight abominations? O_o (poison resistance mead obviously) but armour wise?

can they be parried?

OK... so i tried to block with my bronze buckler tier 3 - and i got pushed away - and survived with 23 Hp O_o

[round thicket]

Arrows? And like good skills.

[warped wing]

yeah probably fire arrows are best bet

[wide zodiac]

i just used my bow with fire arrows

[paper marsh]

Fire arrows are safe. Bringing it to a fire geyser and rolling through its attacks or parrying it is good to keep it in place while it burns alive

Once you put some decent health food in your stomach you might be able to parry it with a levelled bronze buckler, or at least with an iron one

[tulip patrol]

TIL, Seeker Soldiers have a swimming animation

[tulip patrol]

aboms dont actually have any poison attacks, the poison mead would just be to help against the Leechs and Blobs in the swamps while youre fighting the abominations. But in my experience, Axes work best against them since theyre trees and all.

[fallen zephyr]

Howzit vikings?

[fallen zephyr]

I wonder if that was a late-stage consideration for the devs? Because, skeletons and draugr just 'benthic-sprint' their way at you.

[tulip patrol]

no idea, i just dont normally encounter them next to water and was slightly amsued and terrified that they have a swimming animation

[fallen zephyr]

I actually discovered a fun way to manage soldiers recently. If you can get them up on a spire (read: raised rock, it doesn't have to be too high) in the mistlands and induce their smashing attack, they'll tend to just dig themselves into a hole in the rock and you can ditpatch them with leisure.

I don't normally do that, but it made the two-star soldier I found the other day a lot easier.

[tulip patrol]

Im at the point where i no longer fear the Mistlands, the only things ive yet to encounter are Starred Gjalls. mainly because i dont tend to spend alot of the time in their at night, but if i can take starred soldiers i can take starred gjalls

[cerulean osprey]

2 A-bombs 2 wraiths and an ooze all within a short space

on hard mode

[fallen zephyr]

Black Forest is almost worse than Mistlands at night after defeating The Queen.

[cerulean osprey]

we have no iron gear still in copper gear

[tulip patrol]

whats the ideal way to chicken farm.

figured id get crackin on that while is i procrastinate fighting the Queen

[fallen zephyr]

You're deliberately going into swamps at night not having geared anything available there?

[tulip patrol]

tbf you need to go into the swamps to get swamp gear

[cerulean osprey]

lol it was daytime when we went in

[fallen zephyr]

I was speaking with another person the other day about this... it seems that having separate hatching and laying coops seems to be pretty productive... unless you want to just build one of those battery-hen setups.

[cerulean osprey]

and was going back to boat and portal

[nocturne wolf]

Make sure you leave before night and are always rested

[fallen zephyr]

Not before it was night long enough for two wraiths apparently 😛

[tulip patrol]

do i need to be in the area like breeding boars and wolves for the eggs to hatch or can i leave them and go do other things while they hatch

[fallen zephyr]

Yep. Spawning distance. I think it's something like 60m?

I've also noticed that sleeping doesn't seem to provide a benefit. Like - when I sleep having filled a furnace, the load is complete on awakening. With chickens, they just seem to pause laying when I go to sleep. I don't know whether that's intentional, an oversight, a bug, or just me having some kind of confirmation bias.

[tulip patrol]

that i figured since sleeping doesnt speed up taming

[fallen zephyr]

Oh interesting... that might be the link. Good tip

[safe flower]

64m you must be within, just stay in hide mode so you don’t agro, so sleeping doesn’t speed it up, just have to be semi afk for 30 mins(the time to tame uninterrupted)

All taming, and breeding you have to be there within a certain distance, 64m for taming, but not sure for breeding

[fallen zephyr]

I imagine you have to be within 4-8 inches for breeding 😛

[loud valve]

Depends on the male

[rugged yoke]

search new server

[fallen zephyr]

What am I looking for?

[fallen zephyr]

What am I looking for? 😛

[fair cairn]

wouldnt swords be better with a faster atack speed

[half dragon]

parry > block usually

[half dragon]

probably, but from what I've seen swords are not very popular choice among more experienced players

even if axe is worse, it's not by much. You will need an axe anyway so might as well use it as a weapon instead if you want slash damage

[fallen zephyr]

I run with the Mistweaver generally, but I still switch to a Blackmetal Axe for abominations. It's still easier with an axe.

I parry the first attack (edit: also running shield), and they remain stun-locked with the axe.

[loud valve]

Axe is better because you always need to chop wood

[half dragon]

Chop first, axe questions later

[silk rivet]

I usually build my chicken coop as part of a new base, so I tend to hang around while they hatch. You can definitely leave once the chicks are there, they'll grow up even without you being close.
If you want the hens to lay eggs, you need to be around again. I usually feed mine a stack of food before doing some base improvement, or a big smelting session. With my breeder setup a stack of 50 dandelion results in a bit over 200 eggs, which will cover my omelette needs for a while.

[fair cairn]

dont they also eat seeds?
not that it matters i guess dandilions are pretty easy to find

[merry pebble]

yep they do

[tulip patrol]

50 dandelion results in a bit over 200 eggs

[merry pebble]

and if you farm them on bigger scale its good to grov some crops just for the seeds

[tulip patrol]

Jesus christ thats insane

[half dragon]

growing any seed crops usually results in some excess seeds, usually

or at very least it's easy to yoink a part of the harvest for them

[fallen zephyr]

Hell yeh! Plant seeds, store half of the products, and plant the remainder for more seeds. Then you can balance your input/output from there.

[silk rivet]

Seeds, barley or dandelion all work. I just happen to have stacks of dandelion kicking about, due to a horde of tame wolves hunting around my meadows base, and me going to clean up their mess every so often.

[nimble coyote]

I been out of the loop for quite some time. Has there been any thoughts on runic inscriptions as some kind of loose magic system. I’m reading the Futhark: A handbook of rune magic, by Edred Thorsson. There’s an extensive detail of inscribing runes on various objects to bestow them power , like a wand for example. With these inscriptions there are formulas made up of these runes in different patterns. These patterns are imbued with different intentions for different results. I’d think it would be interesting for different buffs on weapons or armor or buildings for that matter. Even different runes show up in patterns in buildings of the time. Just a random thought.

[fallen zephyr]

Dandelions are my chook feed. I'm not wasting plantable seeds on those feathered dumbarses.

[half dragon]

hmm... I did some calculations and seems like there's no difference between barley and seed plants for the amount of food you get for hens.

[nimble coyote]

To build on that. There’s extensive writing on also striking a pose that’s associated with each rune in attempt to evoke different energies.

[fallen zephyr]

No, i don't think the food itself influences laying rates. There's just 'hungry' hens, and 'happy' hens.

[half dragon]

barley gives 2 per harvest and we have to assume you have to replant that other one, so you get 1 per barley per harvest.

lets say you have a carrot, you'll get 3 seeds. Now you'll have to replant 1 of them and you can use 2 of the seeds... but now to get more seeds you'll have to wait for that 1 carrot to regrow again and then replant it as seed plant to get seeds, so 2 harvests for 2 seeds (to feed)

and with barley it's the same, 2 harvests for 2 barley (to feed) per plant

[fallen zephyr]

I'm not going to check that math, but I will say - if you're feeding your hens anything but dandelions, you're wasting resources.

[half dragon]

and if you collect dangelions to feed them you're wasting time

easier to just grow barley

[fallen zephyr]

Dandelions are part of your travels. Pick them up as you go.

I maintain four hens, and I can grab three dandelions inside my home base.

[half dragon]

besides, dandelions have far better use, such as healing mead

[fallen zephyr]

I can get (I think) 12 dandelions just collecting drops from dead enemies after sleeping a night, around my base.

[fallen zephyr]

Why are you contradicting me, then?

[half dragon]

because you're using them to feed hens?

when there's far better use for them available

barley barely takes any effort since you can easily harvest it with atgeir

[crude yacht]

Both strategies are valid. Different resources for different situations. If you have access to dandies, use them. If you have a lot of excess seeds, use them. Just depends on what you have available and how fast you need to feed the chickens.

[merry pebble]

¨there is also better use for barley tho 😉

[half dragon]

but barley is very easy to upscale to meet both demands

[merry pebble]

but yeah, its much easier to farm, however i dont see a problem with using dandelions when you have them

[half dragon]

if there's excess of them sure, but I sure don't

[crude yacht]

Now let's talk about how superior the strategy of taming boars versus killing wild boars is...

[fallen zephyr]

Ah ok, I see. I'll concede that dandelions might be better used elsewhere while progressing but, for me, they are definitely the best hen food having killed The Queen. I probably shouldn't be advising people that are still progressing.

[half dragon]

and even if I had I'd rather just store them and use them later

ah, more changes from killing bosses

[fallen zephyr]

Kill 'em All! And, play the same-titled Metallica album while you do it. 😛 Seriously though, in my experience, taming boars is worthwhile, but it's short-lived. I outgrew boar meat real quick, and boar skins are forever useful, but also really easy to obtain when boars become a trivial combat.

[half dragon]

you can still farm boars to feed them to wolves if you still eat skewers

unfortunately wolves have not seen the light and learned the benefits of cannibalism

(for the player)

[fallen zephyr]

(I say this from the perspective of having my main base in the meadows - when your nightime encounters become more powerful, you can easily wake to a lot of deer, neck, and boar drops.)

[half dragon]

oh wait... I'm farming loxes for meat, but it feels wasteful to give such big chunky piece of meat for them 😂

look at the size of it, and the taste 🤤

well 2 star boars are probably more effective for getting highest amount of meat per animal? probably... if I remember right they grow faster than loxes

I'm still also kind of hoping we would see a new tameable animal in later updates that could be fed boar meat

[fallen zephyr]

I'm not convinced the effort to find starred tameable animals is a nett gain over just farming them at their base level.

[half dragon]

they're quite easy to find when you go to meadows further away from the spawn point... also the world I use for mass cutting wood and mining stone instantly gave me a 2 star boar... no use for it so it's still there. In my main world found 2x of those 2 star boars near... Hilde Hilda whatever she's called. It's next to plains

[crude yacht]

I've never really ran into a situation where I'm really in need of large quantities of boar meat or leather scrap that taming and breeding boars would provide. I've left more boar meat and scraps behind than I've ever needed.

[half dragon]

not if you stop beaing in meadows

[fallen zephyr]

I don't really understand why anyone would want to try and base themselves outside of the meadows, given the facility for portals.

[half dragon]

plains look better and close to everything relevant in later parts of the game for sailing

[crude yacht]

I haven't gotten that far in my no portal/no map world yet. Still trying to sus out a crypt for iron...so maybe I'll feel the crunch later.

[fallen zephyr]

I have portals.

[half dragon]

last I checked metals do not go through portals, unless enabled

[crude yacht]

The solution...bring your base to the metal. 😉

[half dragon]

mistlands right nearby, I am in plains, swamps nearby, mountains nearby... but to be fair meadows is also close enough to swamps and mountains, usually

[fallen zephyr]

No, fair. That was a slow period for me. But when I got to Mistlands, it's really not that hard to obtain copper and iron to establish yourself. Also, the products of metals usually go through portals.

[crude yacht]

Right? It's just metal bars and ores that dont?

[merry pebble]

also few other things (from hildir and from mistlands for example)

[fallen zephyr]

And those spikes (I forget the name) that you stab into roots to get sap in Mistlands.

[half dragon]

I prefer just filling my longship with metal and bring it home. at least to me that is less effort than taking the very same voyage to bring metal to new location so you can make things required to craft stuff

well... guess could always carry around that stuff in case you need it. but I'd always forget doing that lol

[crude yacht]

I guess it just depends on how far the trip is, and how many trips your need to make. If it is more than 2 and is a very long distance, establishing a new outpost may be more efficient.

Yeah, I've been thinking of what would constitute a outpost establishment checklist.

[fallen zephyr]

For sure! I do this a lot. To qualify, I've kiled The Queen and I'm basically spending my time exploring. I've found it relatively simple to establish myself anywhere and bring a bunch of Surtling Cores through a portal to give me the ingots that I need.

[crude yacht]

I always forget a stack of flint.

[half dragon]

it least it can be brought through the portal even on normal settings... if you have portals enabled

Seen fairly good amount of Geralts here, me? I love portals

[crude yacht]

In my no portal/no map/ hardcore death penalty game, I died in the middle of a gigantic black forest area. Woke up completely naked and with no flint to make a level 2 worstation, so couldn't use any of the deer hide to make armor. Took me 3 days to locate some flint...3 days of running around naked. Ah...good times.

[half dragon]

💀

[crude yacht]

Made a full set of deer armor, accidentally stepped in my campfire, died again losing it all. Ah...good times.

[half dragon]

So far no lox escape attempts... but if I see another one escape after raising my fence from 2 to 4 meters, I swear to god I'll install spikes to keep them in

btw surely I'm not the only one who made a 2nd world for exploting resources? Don't like it how it looks like after I've gone through an area stripping it clean for resources so might as well do that in a world I do not care about (wood and stone only)

[crude yacht]

Eh...I feel like that is cheating. I'd actually prefer of we could somehow isolate the world files from outside influence like what you are describing. Only resources available come from the world itself.

[half dragon]

doesn't really make a difference when you can just make portals to transport it all. I'm spending more time swapping between worlds than I'd spend hopping through portals just to preserve beauty of the world

so I'm cheating to spend more time?

[crude yacht]

If you are bringing in resources from another world, yes, I would consider that cheating. But if you are okay with it, who am I to tell anyone how to play the game?

[half dragon]

you're calling it cheating to use a feature of the game...

and it gives me no benefit either...

[crude yacht]

Might as well just spawn in the resources...same thing in my opinion.

[half dragon]

okay dude

[latent gorge]

What is the optimum fps?

[fallen zephyr]

Over 9000!

[crude yacht]

Whatever you can stomach?

[half dragon]

whatever you your PC can handle without taking a hit in performance, but don't think more than 60 does much 😂

[latent gorge]

Cool, I’m currently handling with 130+ fps

[half dragon]

yea, that's perfectly fine

[latent gorge]

Thanks.

[fallen zephyr]

Hnnngggg. 🫠

[crude yacht]

In contrast, I'm usually seeing around 40 on my potato PC.

[fallen zephyr]

I get 230 fps on the loading screen 😛
