slender dagger
#

it shows ur total penalty

charred otter
#

So ye it doesn't matter if I switch from root helm to iron

slender dagger
#

nope

#

but i suggest doing the iron helm+harnesk+iron leggings and upgrading a bit

grizzled wing
#

Check if the root helm has a weakness to fire

slender dagger
#

it doesnt but fire doesnt matter in swamp

#

or im pretty sure it doesnt

grizzled wing
#

He's talking about mountains

charred otter
slender dagger
charred otter
#

I am talking about both

slender dagger
#

bonemass build

grizzled wing
pliant hatch
#

Only enemy doing fire damage in swamp are the Surtlings.
And the best way to deal with them is to lure them into the water.

slender dagger
#

yeah or just hit them

#

really not that big of a deal to fight them, i just dig down in their spawn area so they wont bother me no more

neat fractal
#

should i do a run where i use a pickaxe as my main weapon

slender dagger
#

lmao that would be funny

charred otter
slender dagger
#

a run only being allowed one quality of each weapon type could be funny too

slender dagger
#

but switch back to root harnesk 100% when going in plains

charred otter
#

Is it worth going for full light armor or more parts than just leggings?

slender dagger
#

well many use it for traveling and exploring

neat fractal
#

if you're good at parrying and kiting then yeah

slender dagger
#

so prob yes

grizzled wing
#

For mountain

charred otter
#

So I should get a pretty upgraded iron helm cuz I will be using it for a while

neat fractal
#

you should max all your gear anyway

slender dagger
#

yeah probably

neat fractal
#

but if you only have time for one then i'd go for the helm

charred otter
neat fractal
#

a lot

charred otter
#

I have like 240-ish

grizzled wing
slender dagger
#

i want every armour set fully maxed at some pont

neat fractal
#

you're gonna need a lot of iron down the line so you definitely need more

slender dagger
#

yeah

charred otter
#

At some point ye but not when u r low on resources kinda

slender dagger
#

i only have like 12 left

neat fractal
#

at least the crypts are easy

slender dagger
#

which blackmetal weapon is best for fulings?

neat fractal
#

i like the atgier (is that how you spell it?)

slender dagger
#

yes i just made it

neat fractal
#

the knife is good at dealing with deathsquito's too

#

with good timing you can hit them before they hit you

steel copper
#

same with swords

slender dagger
pliant hatch
#

Given the low amount of HP a deathsquito has, even a lvl 1 club is a good weapon to deal with them.

slender dagger
#

yeah

empty bison
#

so how to deal with 2star draug archer in temple? 😄 I was mining, got sniped from behind and now he is lurking around my corpse. Even wit shield up, he chunks 80% of my hp and stagger me

charred otter
#

What do I use iron sledge for?

neat fractal
#

cheesing fights

kind pendant
latent wraith
#

Strafe out of the path of the arrow.

neat fractal
#

is there any reason why the swamp doesnt have a cape

empty bison
latent wraith
#

Not every biome has every thing.

empty bison
#

okey, sneak worked somehow

kind pendant
empty bison
neat fractal
#

what shield do you have currently

empty bison
#

iron shield

neat fractal
#

buckler?

empty bison
#

yes

neat fractal
#

i think you might be able to parry it

#

might be too weak though

empty bison
#

I think it had scuffed hitbox, I was getting same hp chunked with shield up and with shield down

#

and if it shooted it left corner and I was standing in right, I still got hit

neat fractal
#

well you shouldnt really be blocking with a buckler anyway, its block value is low compared to the banded shield

empty bison
#

yeah, but still, I shouldnt receive same hp down with shield up and without 😄

digital flower
#

when will Ashlands come? is there a date specified or is it still first half of 2024?

pliant hatch
#

Still 1st half of 2024

ornate sentinel
charred otter
#

What do I do with 90 iron, thinking maybe 50 on pickaxe to max lvl + 25 for leggings max lvl

#

I have max lvl mace, buckler and iron helm

half dragon
#

Upgrading pickaxe does give it nice boost to damage it does to rock/ore. If you plan to get both anyway I'd get pickaxe first since it speeds up you getting the leggings too. If you're not having trouble staying alive

charred otter
#

(after it finishes to smelt), I am asking in case I should get something else instead

half dragon
#

ohh missed that

#

probably an axe, not necessary but would help you if you plan to hunt abomination for the light armor set

charred otter
half dragon
#

abomination is not resistant to slash damage. It resists blunt and laughts at pierce

#

but if you do not mind spending longer time killing it fire arrows are an option too, the longer route but works perfectly fine

uncut bough
#

is Ashlands PTB here yet?

#

well i am long away from ever conquering the queens but i still want to ask

half dragon
#

also there is no silver axe, so next axe would be in plains

charred otter
half dragon
#

that will work

charred otter
#

Also potentially reinforced chests

uncut bough
#

parry and sword is sstill best way to deal with aboms

half dragon
#

don't think you need to spend on axe or anything else you already plan to get imo

#

unlikely to make a difference. axe stunlocks it for easy kill, if sword does the same no difference... except you'll have a tool and a weapon in 1

#

Although, I for sure like that sword's 2nd move more than mace's

azure yacht
#

Need confirmation on something: Higher difficulties increase dmg from enemies, but does it increase each enemy base dmg by the according percentages or it's only taking into account the dmg done to the player?

#

Reason behind question is because there is a DamageTaken command but also an EnemyDamage command.

Which one is used for higher difficulties?

charred otter
half dragon
#

I use it for 1 shotting those corpse piles

charred otter
#

oh smart

half dragon
#

also gives a nice big number if something spawns in your way and you get that sneak damage bonus

charred otter
#

Are reinforced chests worth it

#

Or is it better to just have more small chests

#

I anyways use mods to make storage easier so it's not like more slots will change much in terms of ease of use

half dragon
#

I personally like black metal chests. Not optimal but you can shove a crap ton of stuff into a single chest which makes sorting a bit more simple to me

charred otter
#

Fair, then ig wasting iron on those is not worth it

half dragon
#

expensive and would not recommend that to use on many chests like I'm doing

#

iron isn't really that much worth either unless you have a lot extra iron

#

would make sorting more convenient and looks better but that's it

eternal swan
#

hello, i am in trouble, the cloud kept all my delete character and i cannot make anymore, is ther a way to clear that bloody cloud fast????

half dragon
#

you can delete them if you expand the charater file and delete all of the backups

charred otter
light moat
#

I just really hate the green shine on blackmetal chests lol

charred otter
#

So I can either use 50 iron to max a pickaxe, maybe craft an iron sword just as a secondary weapon or something

#

Actually I can also upgrade the bow or make an iron sledge

half dragon
#

upgrading bow can never go wrong

light moat
#

To be fair, spug is making a massive storage, so the amount of iron it would take for all those chests is probably more than the average player ever sees 😂 ||lots of love!||

charred otter
#

I have 62 iron, so I can go 30 for bow and then 20 for pickaxe, won't get it maxed but that should be high enough

light moat
#

And yeah, hunstman bow is solid. I used it even in mistlands.

charred otter
#

Actually wait found some more iron in a chest, might have enough for both

#

Also have an iron chestplate but I don't think I will be using it bcz of the movement

light moat
#

Iron is so insanely useful, never hurts to have a few hundred laying around lol

half dragon
#

yup, that is one the main reasons why I'm going for black metal chests instead. More comfy to farm

#

I also finished planning the layout for it, it will have 4 rows of shelves, 1 for each long wall and 2 in the middle, that leaves me enough space to bring in a cart for moving stuff around

light moat
#

Any recent pictures?

#

Wow, fancy! A cart for a warehouse, that’s pretty sick!

half dragon
#

makes far more easy to move stuff around, don't have to deal with that weight limit whenever I'm moving around a lot of stuff

light moat
#

It would be neat if it was on track of sorts, maybe with wooden beams or something. That’s overkill though haha

half dragon
#

sec, I'll take a screenshot in a moment

charred otter
#

Also are the special side weapons actually being used, I didn't really use the stagbreaker and the sledgehammer seems similar

#

It just too heavy and clunky for me, I would rather have a faster weapon

light moat
#

The large sledges are good in certain situations for crowd control

#

But yeah, having them as a primary weapon might not be ideal.

neat fractal
#

the hammers just feel too cheesy to use, i think it would be better if it had an actual combo like other weapons and the aoe attack was a special attack

light moat
#

Cheesy? Like they’re too strong? I agree though, I’d really like if the aoe slam was its secondary attack, and its standard attack was like a 2-hit combo or something.

#

Remove the cleave from swords, give cleave to 2-handed weapons.

neat fractal
charred otter
half dragon
#

Posted in #screenshots , only 1 shelf is 100% done, the one for all types of wood

#

still got more chests that are not visible in the screenshot, for metals and stuff

light moat
#

Ah, fair enough, I haven’t used them too much.

Would I recommend carrying it- hmm honestly not really, but they’re super useful in dungeons, so if you’re spelunking a lot I’m sure it would be a boon. Especially in crypts or infested mines.

half dragon
#

for a good crowd control weapon I couldn't recommend Atgeir enough

#

I was very skeptical about it at first, but haven't stopped using it ever since I first tried it

light moat
#

I’ve actually never used the atgeir lol but I only hear great things about it.

half dragon
#

oh it's a lot of fun to have such long reach and 360 spin to hit literally everything around you

#

the stagger and knockback on that spin is also great

light moat
#

Haha so I’ve heard, yeah it’s crazy to watch people stagger two trolls at a time with them

half dragon
#

stamina use is the main issue with it though, like any other heavy weapon

neat fractal
#

i always have 2 stacks of stamina mead with me when i use an atgeir

light moat
#

Just made the mistalnds 2 handed hammer, excited to try it out. The greatsword feels really good too.

half dragon
#

I've somehow managed to go without any, I still need to build a mead cellar and a kitchen above it for making and storing all my food

neat fractal
#

dark souls vibes from the krom

azure yacht
#

Krom should be illegal.

It's like atgeir, but slashier

neat fractal
#

pretty sure it can hit for 1k

light moat
#

Dang really?? Haven’t used it on combat yet (made it then got off for the night)

azure yacht
#

Although I do dislike the multi hit penalty that I still don't know why it has it and that the secondary animation could be better.

Dmg is perfect, but animation... Could use refinement

half dragon
#

I guess that's a 1v1 version of Atgeir?

azure yacht
#

Pretty much yes

#

The basic attack does look and feel good

neat fractal
#

literally 0 crowd control

#

you're basically obligated to take a secondary weapon

azure yacht
#

I read complaints about basic attack being too similar to one-handed swords but I mean, it's still a sword, nothing weird with having similar (not exactly same) attack animations.

I do grant the secondary attack animation "issue"

azure yacht
half dragon
#

is it a stab or overhead?

light moat
#

Oh? Krom has multi hit penalty? Do one handed swords have multi hit penalty?

azure yacht
half dragon
#

that's... disappointing

azure yacht
half dragon
#

you've got a 2 handed sword, obviously you'd want to do a good old overhead smash right?

azure yacht
#

That was my suggestion a short while after starting to use it

neat fractal
azure yacht
#

Downward slash with massive dmg and knockback.

Atgeir for crowd control/aoe

Krom for massive single target dmg

half dragon
#

at least Atgeir isn't being used like a poking stick the normal spear is 😂

azure yacht
#

Stagger, basic attack, done

light moat
#

Might be a goober and try using Jotun Bane for combat lol

neat fractal
#

pretty sure it was made for combat

light moat
#

I think axes generally just underperform comparatively.

#

But maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised

half dragon
#

also so glad that my fence height upgrade to 8 meters finally solved my circus lox problem. Them being on top of each is only barely too much to get over it. Like 0.25m too high. Low enough to give hope, but high enough to also crush it

light moat
#

Nice! I still haven’t tamed any lox yet, not sure I even want to lol.

azure yacht
half dragon
#

they're really good escape artists...

#

It took less than 5 minutes for a lox to escape my pen after I built it and got them in

#

I upgraded my fence to 4 meters, happened again as soon as I looked away

light moat
half dragon
#

kinda wish that was a mehcanic, hit a tree once and then go for the next tree while the previous one is rotting to death

odd helm
#

I'd expect to not get a lot of workable wood out of a rotting tree

maiden granite
#

Anyone tech expert here?

odd helm
#

Ancient bark, maybe

odd helm
azure yacht
#

Or just to make trees suffer for all those unfair deaths

odd helm
#

Imagine if you could use staff of embers to set trees on fire

#

And you get coal out of it

maiden granite

Instant coal

I've been noticing that magic seems to be some of the very few skills that do encourage the player having high skills (aka it's actually worth grinding) due to eitr being limited and also regens much slower

#

(why magic has to be so relevant ffs)

light moat
#

Yeah, I’ve been leveling my magic by raiding fuling villages and crypts. It’s pretty noticeable.

azure yacht
#

Skeletts receive triple DMG at max level, 2% per level.

And they hit hard on their own.

neat fractal
#

have you guys tried using the flame staff as a mortar

light moat
#

Need to craft the skelly boi summon, seems super useful.

neat fractal
#

its actually really good for decoration too

half dragon
#

My plan for my warrior chara is to grab one of those shield staffs and that's it. Hoping that is enough regen if you're not constantly using it

#

if it works the way I think it does, it will make parrying really great

light moat
#

I want to craft a few staves just to display around my Eitr workshop… sometimes I hate my decorative instinct.

half dragon
#

lets blame the devs for making items and decorations look too good!

neat fractal
#

what a wonderful problem to have

light moat
#

I’ve already made numerous iron weapons purely for display 😅

half dragon
#

in very few games I truly care about making stuff look good, practical is usually good enough

#

but here we got so many options, good options

light moat
#

Comfort mechanic and upgrading work stations was super clever, makes me feel rewarded for decorating.

Dyrnwyn looks crazy cool. So when I first stayed playing Valheim, I heard you could rarely find it in dungeons… lol I didn’t know any better, so I definitely searched a bit for it 😂

Does Brenna use Dyrnwyn now? Like is it the same model?

neat fractal

not sure what you're talking about

light moat

i know that but whats brenna

pliant hatch

She's a mini boss from Hildir's Quests.

i hope it gets buffed if we can

im pretty sure its weaker than a silver sword

mint bluff
#

me one other guy were standing at the queen spawning area and the queen randomly spawned outside, without any of us having the sealbreaker, is that normal?

pliant hatch
#

Yes and no.

Yes, because it happens to more players,
No, because it's a bug.

paper marsh
mint bluff
pliant hatch
#

I have no idea about that. But the one you summon inside - using seeker soldiers trophies - will certainly drop the place holder.

paper marsh
#

man 2x resources makes the game quick

vocal rivet
#

Yeah, it's dangerous frankly. We just started our pre-Ashlands run last night and it's bad enough everyone 'agreed' to skip the iron grind completely but we're also on 2x resources. And it's a 24/7 server. At this rate we'll be done before Ashlands already launches. I told them to take their time 😕

mint bluff
#

put it on 1.5 then

paper marsh
#

yea my main world is 0.5 resources no map no portals so that one will for sure take a while. But trying to speedrun-ish a melee only run now so trying out 2x resources

#

also legit cannot believe stone axe not oneshotting deer/boars on a sneak attacks 😭

half dragon
#

lmao

#

why not spear? It's a long ranged melee attack

paper marsh
#

haven't found any flint yet. and throwing a spear is quite ranged

half dragon
#

I know, just joking. but the weapon itself is a melee weapon

paper marsh
#

yea I might use spears, they're not bad

#

but will prob favor knives and maybe try out maces too

charred otter
#

Is there a way to rebind F5 to a different key?

empty bison
paper marsh
#

yea going from 0.5 to 2x is night and day hehe

grizzled wing
#

I think 1.5 is fine personally. It's a little too strong with bees/honey/crops but mob loot and ores feel actually rewarding

empty bison
#

iron is definitely more managable. As you said, crops and honey feels like too quick to gather

#

Its pitty its not as I though, like 50% chance for 2nd ressource with that 1,5. Would make perfect pace for me

grizzled wing
#

All 1.5x solves is everything that isn't base management. Which i think speaks to any current underlying issues with "grind" and progression

slow leaf
#

Once I smash the dvergr's ward with a cart, am I free to hit their crates with weapons or will they still aggro me?

#

I've never done it the 'peaceful' way before

pliant hatch
#

I think you need to hit that chest with the cart too for the peaceful approach.

foggy glacier
#

Once the ward is down they won't aggro you.

#

other thing you can do is knock them off with puffer-fish first.

slow leaf
#

Nah my girlfriend doesn't want to kill them

#

So we took the ward down but not sure if we're free to smash the crates

foggy glacier
#

The cart is a great idea that I'm going to use though. I hadn't thought of a way to get the first one down.

#

Once I've got some refined Eitr, I just use that to destroy the ward.

slow leaf
#

That's a good way too, we just landed in the Mistlands so no eitr yet

fallen zephyr
slow leaf
#

Nah, not really

fallen zephyr
warped wing
#

turns out the karve and longboat ladders only go one way 😔

fallen zephyr
#

I guess they're technically escalators.

sharp basin
#

Huh, you can do it with a cart? I always just lured a bug soldier to the smaller dvergr camps, instant loot

slow leaf
#

You can use a cart or refined eitr as he said. Our goal was to protect the dvergr and not kill them, so luring a seeker would be no good either.

#

I've never done it this way, I've usually just killed them, so not sure what's 'allowed' and what's not

azure yacht
#

They're assholes anyway. Not worth feeling that much pity for them

slow leaf
#

I think it's more fun to keep them alive. And they make for good defense when you make them roommates

grizzled wing
#

Dvergr are cool, i only kill em if i want to. I break the ward with a cart for their shit

azure yacht
#

Only if it's not the mages.

Those are terrible roommates

slow leaf
#

The mages are ok as long as they don't get aggro'd inside

azure yacht
#

Which is pretty much guaranteed to happen the second they're aggroed. And they'll 100% try to attack while inside and then try to go outside. In that specific order

foggy glacier
#

Yeah. A mage stuck inside a building is more destructive than a lox

azure yacht
#

And people want them to inhabit their bases...

Such innocence

foggy glacier
#

first thing I do once I've destroyed a ward is break the outside steps and push everyone off.

unique onyx
#

chat this morning is funny .. i love my dwarf friends that i also steal from and evict lol

fallen zephyr
#

I love the Dvergr. They're great for kiting mobs to their towers so they can kill stuff for you. Whether I then wipe them out kinda depends on how badly the Gjall or a starred soldier decimated them.

fallen zephyr
azure yacht
#

I'm glad they're not openly hostile

strange arrow
#

if they could be directed, you could just post a line of them outside yr walls

half dragon
#

is there actual use for bombs? looking at them can't say I'm impressed with either of them

strange arrow
#

mines

#

particularly at doors you can see/sense mobs behind

#

otherwise i never use them

foggy glacier
#

I like using them to kite cultists out of the temples

#

into areas where I can shoot at them safely

half dragon
#

hmm... don't think I'd have use for that much. I'll probably still use that tactic on my planned rogue character though

foggy glacier
#

also egg nests with the ticks.

#

lob a stink bomb into a nest and everything's dead at once.

#

you can also use them to kill stuff on the other side of walls/grates when you're clearing infested mines.

#

they don't usually break the hanging resin stuff but kill the ticks & seekers behind.

#

Come to think of it, I use them a ton in the mines.

strange arrow
#

yeh pretty edge case use other than that, large groups they can help, like fuling villages, but then just lead them to a tar pit usually

#

for me dvergers if they could be tamed, shouldn't just be mobile ballistas anyway, if they are going to be friendly i want them doing things i can't do already

#

maybe they would go and chop wood or mine

halcyon blade
#

That immediately contradicts what you just said.

strange arrow
#

i mean stuff i can do already with other tames

#

wolves and lox already fulfill that function, and we have ballistas

half dragon
#

hmm... just got an idea for bile bombs. Wonder if would be possible to create a death trap for growth? like, make a 4 radius area the only place where they can spawn, then yeet a bile bomb in the center to kill them all

strange arrow
#

i've seen ppl tap off the spawners, surround them with wood panels and the growth spawns onto a 1m beam and just sits there

#

then you can simply walk up and swing at them

half dragon
#

suppose that's what I'll do with that 1 location with 4 damn growth spawners next to each other

#

will be pain in the ass to kill them all for first time though...

white mural
#

i saw some hooded figure, that disappeared when i got close

#

that's the bossman Odin

#

his shade pops up from time to time to check in on us

halcyon blade

He checks in to make sure we don't become the next forsaken.

strange arrow
#

he can't be interacted with and if you shoot an arrow at him it goes right through, get too close or wait long enough and he poofs away

#

after you defeat Moder ||look to the sky during storms and you might catch his son flying around||

pliant hatch

Axe works better against Abominations

half dragon
#

hmm... I think the current pattern with farmed plants is going to continue. That you have to grow them in the newest biome and you cannot grow the old stuff there, so you need a base in both old and new biomes. One of the reasons I chose plains as my main base biome since I can farm vast majority of plants here... and it looks great here

charred otter
#

I am kinda scared to go melee on them, what's the crypt strat?

#

Some1 said something about jumping off it so I assume standing there means they can't attack u?

half dragon
#

pick the first room you clear well, listen for slimes and spawners, avoid those for first room to clear

#

you're going to need some extra room to fall back to in case things go south

charred otter
half dragon
#

oh like that. you can go stand on a crypt and they can't do shit to you, but you can keep hitting them

#

they won't even run away

charred otter
#

On the ceiling of one or just the little bit off the ground?

half dragon
#

the highest point, not those small bits at corners but the highest flat area on top of the crypt

foggy glacier
#

the lowest spot at the back they can hit you. If you stand on the highest or next-to-highest spot they won't hit.

The hitbox for their attacks and the area where they can initiate an attack isn't the same. In case of abomination they seem to be able to attack you when you're above their hitbox for those attacks, but able to hit you further away with that stab attack than the area triggering an attack

For the dwarf eyes, I usually maintain 2-3 stacks and toss the rest.

they allow you to speed up a lot of things, such as foraging. I've made portals to foraging paths for rasp berries, mushrooms, blueberries, daisies and thistles

Without portals, they really don't have much use in the early game. 😦

half dragon

also a running course for geysers, connected 11 of them with 3 sets of portals, 1 set for getting from end to start, and 1 connecting back to my base

for total of 5... 10 portals

just for 1 single project

charred otter
half dragon
#

portals to both traders, that's 2 more... another 2 later when I'll create a portal hub. portal to mountains, portal to a tree farm, portal to the boss stones, portal for adventures...

later will add a portal to mistlands

charred otter

I haven't gotten to mountain food yet, but I've tossed away more stacks of greydwarf eyes that I'd imagine I'll ever use in a lifetime...and I'm constantly getting more. I'm not worried about running out.

charred otter
#

I guess I'll wiki it even, don't really care to get spoiled about foo

half dragon
#

I had to make portal to a grey dwarf spawner to meet demand for my portals lol

pliant hatch
#

I think unless you do a "no portal run" having about 8-9 (x2) portals may be a minimum.
Take one for Eder, one for Moder, one for Bonemass, one for Plains / Yagluth and one for the Queen, two for both traders and in case you have a portal hub, one to spawn and one leading to the hub.

#

I’m redoing yagluth, way more prepared now (I hope)

charred otter
half dragon
#

making a portal for collecting rasp berries, blue berries and other foraged goods is also something I recommend

charred otter
#

So if I have 500 that means 150 for that food +5 portals

pliant hatch
#

I got a portal near the spawn.
And enough raspberry bushes nearby to get 30-40 berries from it.

half dragon
#

I first marked in the map location of foraged stuff, then later made an optimal path between them so I can remove markers, then finally added portal to the start and to the end of the run

pliant hatch
#

And with the blueberries marked at my map, getting them isn't that hard either.

crude yacht
#

Still not worried...if it was 10x per for 1 food, maybe...but 3x per is still low enough of to what I end up tossing every night for a full stack of food.

charred otter
half dragon
#

1 path for rasp berries and daisies, 1 for mushrooms only, 1 for blue berries and thistles

charred otter
#

It's technically in a black forest a bit further from the actual swamp cuz I don't want to risk losing it

half dragon
#

portals speed up that process a lot since you can just run in an optimal path away from starting portal, then setup another portal for teleporting you out of there when you're done collecting

crude yacht
#

1 portal to the bathroom...1 portal to the kitchen...1 portal to the couch in the TV room...

half dragon
#

not necessary but it does save a bit time

So 2 stacks of 50 (100 total) is good for 5 sets of portals.

# brittle geyser then portals e1 e2 e3 n1 n2 n3... with the portal icon

We cluster the portals into a specific area like a "portal hub"...from their we make multiple portals out to various destinations. At the moment we only have 2 clusters active (I call them the Central Cluster and the Eastern Cluster). The destinations of the portals go to all our bases, so on the map I mark the portal circles with the portal icon, but all the bases are marked with either the home or the campfire and the name of the portal. I think it will become messy because eventually if we have a lot of clusters, we may need to make a portal cluster that connects all the portal clusters. Then you spend a lot of time running through portals to get everywhere.

pliant hatch
# crude yacht I really wish you could select markers to be shared on the cartography table and...

There's an easy way to avoid that.
Have all but one player remove their markers from their own map.
The one player that doesn't remove his / her markers, removes all the double ones from his / her map.
After that, (s)he uploads the map to the table again and the other players read the table again to update their map.

When exploring in a group, make agreements about who marks what on his / her map.
That way, you only get the information of one player to be added; making the map a lot easier to deal with.

crude yacht

I think "easy" is an understatement there.

Does the table also take over icons that are crossed out? Does it transfer the crossing out status as well?

big hub for big win

Not sure if it uses the crossed out function, but even then all of you can simply do that on your own map the moment a location is "dealt with".

alternative to that would be finding a tiny island in the ocean and expand/raise it to become your hub if you prefer a view of the sky above you

It can easily fit 5 at all sides, making 20 portals.
Add one home portal in the center and you got 21 locations to go to.
May even create some rows of portals and that way you get even more opportunities.

Is there any advantage to that vs...making your own 22x22m portal room?

Another advantage of that area, the fire you use to summon the boss also works down.
So add workbench, a rug, a chair and you got a comfort 5 area; which can be useful if you will encounter monsters at your destination.

# white mural cause it feels like its slow for wolves

They aren't the fastest or strongest. Flesh rippers are best used as mobility weapons for periodic fights while moving and exploring, when you have more than one enemy it becomes more useful to use a different weapon. That said... couple levels of skill in punching and they can be decent

white mural
#

so even with fenris set its not an optimal weapon

dim adder

slashing damage just aint an optimal damage type to begin with. it's the jack of all trades damage type imo

frigid gust

It's great for mobility since there's no speed reduction like there is with shields and all other weapons except knives.

white mural
#

so i should just use an armour with good defense and a fang spear or something

#

when fighting moder, as well as a good bow with arrows

paper marsh
# white mural so even with fenris set its not an optimal weapon

I think it’s the highest dps weapon for Moder (at that stage) and doesn’t give a movement penalty, and works excellent with dodge rolling because it only has a 2 hit combo which takes advantage of small attack windows

But it’s the only fist weapon in the game so your skill for it is prob gonna be fairly bad and even if you grind the skill it won’t be used later (unless Ashlands and DN add some)

For Moder my go to tends to be fang spear or rippers

fenris hood or drake helmet. whats better?

odd helm
#

Depends

#

Drake helmet has the high armor rating without the movement penalty of the rest of the set

#

Fenris hood allows you to complete the set and gets you the bonus unarmed skill for the fenris claws, plus fire res and another 3% movespeed bonus

#

Assuming you're using fenris on the rest of your armor

is 10 armor a lot?

Stuck in my SP Very Hard game. Just entering the Mistlands I found a dwarf camp. Nearby ribs were ripe for mining (yat mortar and pestle) but apparently the ribs were in the scope of their ward and they were none to pleased about the disturbance. I was able to kill a few but they got me. Bastards shot me in the back.

Like... 6 attempts later I still don't have my stuff back. Fortunately I made a mist-cave with a portal Nearby but presently I have no strategies for recovering my gear.

Heh. Planting in a grid doesn't require a mod.

half dragon

almost quit the game before I found that mod

I think this might be an obvious question but when leveling elemental dmg, it only increases dmg from elemental staves right?

Not the elemental dmg from other weapons (like lightning from himmin)

rain flare

#

yea you can but it's absolute waste of time and pain in the ass to accomplish what a grid can do that every other building part of the game uses

rain flare
#

But yes, it is harder than with a mod

#

I also find that most people who complain about the tedium of farming are planting far more than they could ever need.

half dragon
#

you need basically 150 barley plants if you do not want to be harvesting it all constantly

#

way too many recipes need it

merry pebble
#

Thats quite easy to plant by hand 😄

vocal rivet
#

Barley and flax are even easier to plant than the earlier crops. They don't have a seed version and can be mass harvested.

opal prairie
#

I plant a bunch and then only harvest once I almost run out of food that requires said crop.
That is about once a week I still find it tedious.

I like to make farms that you can plant 200-400 barley or flax easily, i quite enjoy farming but i enjoy it more when i didn't do it in a while 😄

I don't mind farming especially with 1.5 resource drop rate

and getting those lines right even more pain in the ass... grid mod fixes both

There's a simple solution to that one.

They are stunted. I may be wrong but once you harvest the good plants the stunted ones have room and just poof are good to harvest

I would love it if you could upgrade the cultivator and plant in neat little rows like 10 seeds a pop or patches of 9 seeds a pop.

or just instal a mod and don't worry about it...

vocal rivet

Because it's not reallly necessary?

opal prairie
vocal rivet
#

Not going to lie, if I could use mods I'd be tempted. That and the mod that allows you to farm more things.

#

But we've started the new server with x2 resource modifier and the difference is huge.

opal prairie
#

If I ever use mods it will be small QoL things mostly, easier planting, farming, cooking and crafting on the top of the list.
Queuing up 5 batches of arrows or making a bunch of salads back to back without having to click once between each and so on.

fence properly placed in a line gives you spacing reference to plant with, not too wasteful on spacing gaps.

latent wraith
#

I like that it's possible to make mistakes and learn from them rather than the game being dumbed down so people can't make mistakes.

#

Also, having to pay a tiny amount of attention means farming is something you do, rather than just mindless button clicking where you can't fail.

#

It's quite easy to make a grid you can aim from so you can easily put things properly spaced, but it's something you have to actively do, and I approve of that.

half dragon
#

if they added a grid it could be 100% optional. The game clearly supports the idea that people enjoy playing the game differently by giving use extensive options in the world settings to customize the world settings to tailor the game experience to your liking.

#

if you don't want your walls to be placed perfectly you can already hold shit and not just mindlessly click and build everything perfectly without a chance of failing as you put it

#

But I think we can agree that forcing everyone to deal with no snapping BS because some don't mind it would be unreasonable

spawners are reset after saving world and quitting? I destroyed swamp spawners and everytime I go there after quitting there, they are there again 😄

half dragon

probably, but they also have quite short timer between spawns

around 5 minutes seems like to me

empty bison
#

like new piles? because mobs are spawning out of that like crazy 😄

half dragon
#

oh wait you were talking about those, brain started filling in details to make sense of things lol

#

corpse piles shouldn't be coming back as far as I know

#

thought you were talking about geysers that spawn surtlings

empty bison
#

ah no haha, I mean corpse things. I swear I killed them already and they are here again around

half dragon
#

That has to be some kind of bug or the world isn't saving properly. Try building sometimes after destroying a spawner and then save/reload, and see if whatever you built is still there? a crafting bench alone should be enough to test

empty bison
#

I can try later, I put marker on both spawners now, after destroying them

half dragon
#

if those spawners are still there and whatever you built is also there, then it's just some kind of weird bug with those spawners

#

No mods?
Playing online or solo?

jaunty grotto

Playing with the Monstrum pack and all the variety of opponents is very refressing!

You can try. It was relatively popular/experimental pre H&H. The pvp in this game is below basic. Can't prevent combat logging. Can't balance against sword animation cancels. Mathematically, it can be attempted to try and balance damage vs armor. The lack of animation nuances and the properties of weapons themselves, IMO (1k+ hrs of Valheim pvp + server management), leads to non negotiable choices.

It's fun, if you find it fun. I think because of the grindy nature of the game, on an emotional level, engaging in pvp in this game can be exciting as there is an element of risk and loss. But, since IG doesn't have an interest in developing pvp elements and pvp requiring mods along with multiplayer being a little janky, it's not really worth pursuing pvp in this game. Up to you.

vocal rivet

There isn't any PvP as this isn't a PvP game.

Just trying to avoid misconceptions about the game. It's unfair to complain about a feature that doesn't even exist.

untold panther

#

There's friendly fire (optional) and that's it. This is not PvP by any normal definition.

untold panther
#

"Friendly fire" is open to a player's interpretation.

#

If they want to define it as PvP, why not?

vocal rivet
#

Because they'll be disappointed?

#

And then somehow it becomes IG's problem.

untold panther
#

Ofc. But, that's their personal journey in the game. Whether they want to complain about it or not is just an indication of how reasonable they are.

vocal rivet
#

Well true, I just believe it's easier to head it off at the pass as it were right from the start.

untold panther
#

It's not really IG's problem if they complain.

vocal rivet
#

It's not, of course, but you tell THEM that.

untold panther

It's the complainer's problem. 😂

They're a minority anyway. It's not like PvP oriented players complain here often.

You've been here since November according to your account.

And I've seen countless complaints about the quality of PvP in Valheim.

A ratio of PvP complaints versus everything else? Well that's going to be unfair. I never said it was the most complained about thing.

#

That would be the speed of development and lack of build pieces.

I think it's a fair comparison. But, you always have to be right. You win.

I could build an annex to this place #memes-and-clips message , it's pretty unassailable due to being built on raised terrain over the water, I'm not sure how tall I can get away with building for say a storage tower here.

untold panther
# vocal rivet And I haven't 'won' anything.

During lockdown, I played so much Valheim PvP on modded servers. The nature of a game is to have fun. Whether or not a game was originally intended to be PvE does not matter. What matters is how the player interprets the game, and how the player wishes to play the game. To say, "this isn't a PvP game," is too one dimensional, and it does not take into account of the modding scene.

There are so many variations of Valheim with mods with so many flavors and nuances. You cannot deny a player who wishes to play a PvP variation of this game by saying "this isn't a PvP game."

Imagine the game actually giving you the tools to grief and sabotage other players' work.

And you really can't complain so much considering that that is actually how the game is meant to be

untold panther

PvP is inherently toxic by its nature.

There is a silent agreement among PvP players. We do not care if we get griefed or sabotaged. It's the nature of PvP. We enjoy it.

Even ensuring builds aren't damaged by a pvp player wouldn't fly because you could brick someone in and they'd be trapped.

untold panther

It would be considered toxic if it's not mutually consenting.

half dragon
vocal rivet
untold panther
#

IE. Player 1 only wants to play PvE on a PvE server. Player 2 decides to grief.

That is toxic.

azure yacht
# untold panther But, if it's on a server dedicated to PvP, is it toxic?

I understand if it's an optional mode.

But the thing is, imagine PvP being another focus for the devs, wouldn't that mean they would have to balance some things in order for PvP to work properly?

Imagine them nerfing atgeir bc the PvP minority complained that it was too op...

Now THAT would make me riot

However "red zones" could offer a place in the world where people could enter and muller one another, provided there aren't mandatory items within them, I wouldn't want to be the one doing the balancing for it.

I do hate it when a game ruins fun weapons for everyone because a smaller portion of the community has problem with it, like a lot of the weapons in TF2 got ruined for casual players the moment they added competitive mode

You can have an opinion on something without partaking in it? I'm not a city planner but I'm allowed to vote/have opinions on where a powerplant or sewage plant is built--even if i never have to see it. It might be biased, but you can still bring useful arguments to the table even if you don't necessarily belong to the affected population.
