valheim-chat

[half dragon]

Taking sides is not political, that's just people being people.

[dense steppe]

holding your own opinion on something is not politics

[half dragon]

But I think I'll just go back to enjoying the game. Way too often end up wasting time on discussions that don't go anywhere

[exotic cradle]

Spicy drama is what some of us thrive on

[untold panther]

And this is not poltical?

"Sure, and along with a thousand other changes, that could form the basis for a PvP mode."

[half dragon]

No...

[vocal rivet]

No?

[merry pebble]

i dont see any poilitics....

[exotic cradle]

Oh honey let it go

[odd helm]

Settle down, y'all

[half dragon]

I'm going back to the game, see you guys

[untold panther]

Tbh, every time I revisit this discord it's political.

What is Valheim? Every one has their own opinions, and their can be so many variants of what "Valheim" can be. But, it's so clear that there are people in this discord that wants to shape Valheim to their own.

It's obvious when it happens.

Denying it is denying yourself.

[light moat]

Political means relating to government or country affairs, I don’t think there’s any of that going on currently 🙂

[vocal rivet]

What is Valheim is defined by IG, not us. And it's defined as a PvE solo/co-op game. End of story.

[untold panther]

Politics lives with everyday human interaction. It's not* just chained to government or country affairs.

[empty bison]

how do you all prepare for mountains? I feel like I can leave swamps now and fight bonemass, but not sure what I should have to be prepared for raid 😄

[untold panther]

Valheim is defined by the individual player ultimately. End of story.

[light moat]

Maybe the word you’re looking for is polarized? Like people having different opinions on things?

[vocal rivet]

God forbid we should all have different opinions.

[frigid gust]

Make sure you have some frost potions made, and just go slowly and methodically. Ranged weapons help a lot.

[vocal rivet]

I'd go stamina heavy on food, too.

[paper marsh]

I like ranged weapons for dealing with wolves and drakes. I personally like at least some light armor too to be mobile (troll armor, mountain light armor once I get to it) but going heavy with iron armor is a solid choice too

[azure yacht]

"there are people in this discord that wants to shape valheim to their own"

So... There are people that want the game to become what they want it to be...

Isn't that standard thinking for literally any game? Everyone would like their liked game to have the features that want. Only thing worth noting is whether those features fit what the devs also want

[empty bison]

I have troll armor fully upgraded (till lvl 4 workbench) and thinking about iron helmet. I have huntsman bow, iron mace and buckler. But I still have some leftover iron for more things. So far collecting mats for food and I am using HHS swamp food

[untold panther]

Hence, politics.

[empty bison]

• I have 12 frost potions so far and making medium healing as we speak

[merry pebble]

please... try to google this word you are so keen on using...

anyway my last messege on this topic...

[odd helm]

Folks, once again, settle down. Getting hung up on semantics does not make for a healthy discussion.

[untold panther]

That is so pedantic. I cannot use a word to describe a human behavior that is originally used to describe governance? If you have a better word to fit the gist I'm trying to say, please.

[rare birch]

I used troll until I could get wolf armor. Just take the time to learn how to get around in the Mountains. What is your main weapon

[paper marsh]

Sounds good

[empty bison]

I use mainly mace(iron one now), but I like to use bow sometimes to be safe (hitting leeches in swamp or killing enemies in swamp when there are 2 stars, so I can fight 2 stars enemies alone at melee)

and was thinking about iron atgeir for swarm of enemiess in mountains ( i heard wolves are good at it :D)

[exotic cradle]

At night yes ^^

Especially at night I mean!

[untold panther]

also, google "messege"

[frigid gust]

One of the easiest techniques for wolves is to get onto a rock where there's only one way they can get up, and handle them one at a time

[untold panther]

Ok, that's all from me. Have a wonderful day folks.

[rare birch]

Mace and bow should be fine. Also a good buckler shield

[fair cairn]

the problem with atgiers is they severely lack in the tiny slope fighting compartment

[paper marsh]

Yea gotta bring the wolves to somewhere flat

Or use a spear or bow for angled combat

[civic rampart]

I love the bow, though I still haven't explored the mistlands just yet.

[paper marsh]

bow is great in mistlands, especially with frost arrows

Bow is just a brokenly good weapon tho

[paper roost]

i would just stay with bow is broken 😄

hi guys

[paper marsh]

Hi!

[paper roost]

anybody used traps

[paper marsh]

beartraps?

[maiden granite]

There is only troll traps in vanilla game

[paper marsh]

A few times. Not a huge fan of the relatively high cost for an item that can only be used a few times tho. Also may or may not have killed myself with one

I really like ballistas tho

I reckon a trap paired with ballistas would do well though. Immobilizes enemy for 5 sec I think?

Prob use them in Ashlands

[paper roost]

i know about ballista, never tried traps

since most annoying enemies mostly fly, idk how good it can be

[maiden granite]

You can try traps before mistlands, just visit the nearest sealed tower

[paper marsh]

my main gripe with them is that you use 1 eitr, 3 iron, and 0.5 bronze that you'll never see again once it breaks. But they sound good for if you have some tough enemies, like on V hard max raids I think they could help me for an ashlands base

[light moat]

Oh dang, traps require Eitr?

[paper roost]

been there, no thx 😄

[paper roost]

all materials disappear?

[paper marsh]

yea. After I think 10 activations

[paper roost]

uhhh, kinda sucks

[paper marsh]

Been a while since I used them but 90% sure they don't drop anything. Not sure if you can repair them to stop them from wearing out their durability and breaking

If you can repair them maybe its not so bad, just gotta remember to maintain your base

[hearty niche]

You can't repair them? That seems kinda silly.

[desert flower]

losing 3 iron is the real tragedy, lol

[light moat]

Ahh, mechanical spring requires eitr, I see. Interesting. Forgot about that.

[paper roost]

it might work same way as the wooden def, but who would bother with running around the base to repair every other day?

i was more thinking about using them to catch rabbits, but not funny if you loose that much eventually

[light moat]

Maybe the mechanical spring could not require eitr to craft, and instead it requires a level 2 artisan table- which could require like 5 eitr for some sort of upgrade.

[paper marsh]

yea they just don't seem like an everyday base defense kinda thing, but more of something to setup for a particularly strong enemy or to have setup somewhere in your base so that if you do get overwhelmed by a raid enemy you can bring that one enemy to a trap/ballista death chamber

[light moat]

Alchemy upgrade for the artisan table requiring 5 eitr and some Crystal maybe?

[paper marsh]

Maybe

[paper roost]

sounds solid, yeah

[frigid gust]

You can repair the for sure. But they do drop materials. That said, I believe the corewood stakes do the same damage as the dvergr ones, and are made from fully renewable materials. They just have less HP.

[paper marsh]

are you referring to traps (beartraps) dropping materials, or core/dvergr stakes?

[frigid gust]

Stakes. The traps drop all materials IIRC.

But I may have to go test that.

[light moat]

Speaking of the artisan table, I somehow have an odd number of dragon tears and I have no idea how that happened lol.

[paper roost]

you missed some most likely 🙂

[light moat]

Yeah, must’ve not seen one after my second Moder fight, I had an even number after the first fight lol

[paper marsh]

I may have just missed my trap breaking and not checked on it until resources despawned the few times I used it. Does sound pretty nice if it drops all the resources tho

[light moat]

It’s still a little odd that the spring requires Eitr 🤔

[paper roost]

it is as it is and i dont think its gonna change

[frigid gust]

We probably aren't gonna get Manganese added to the game, which is the critical component making spring steel vs regular carbon steel, so Eitr is a reasonable general-purpose replacement 😉

[light moat]

Ahh see, I knew there was a reason lol fair enough!

[winged jacinth]

any predictions when ashlands comes out?

[frigid gust]

Sometime before the end of June is all we're guaranteed. We don't predict dates here, they tend to be taken as a promise out of context and just cause all kinds of issues.

[shy anvil]

Hi every one, i had a question about multi platform sistem. If my friend has valheim on xbox and i have it on steam, can we play together?

[half dragon]

Need to find 5 more bee queens, then there be 20 happy bee hives

[frigid gust]

Yup! You will just need to use Crossplay when you start your game, and send him the code.

[paper marsh]

20 x happy = extra happy

[ember panther]

I have an iron chest completely full of honey... Need to make more meads ig

[half dragon]

can never have too much mead, if you do you're not drinking enough

[shy anvil]

thank you so much

[ember panther]

I just found some barley so I'll be getting the fire resist soon

[civic rampart]

Oh man, I only have five hives, on the rooftop of home.

[frigid gust]

That's plenty, if you regularly collect from them.

[half dragon]

but happy bees be happy if there be more bees. Be happy

[frigid gust]

Sure 😉 But you shouldn't feel bad if you don't have more.

[paper marsh]

gotta maximize that happiness production line

[pliant hatch]

🤔

Ashland food: Softsnail drenched in honey sauce........

[paper marsh]

nah snails don't like the ashlands. We like moister climates that don't dry us out

[unique onyx]

this fan fiction is weird

[paper marsh]

only weird if you make it weird

[pliant hatch]

Well, with some people most likely having a "Pegi 18" mind......

But that's more a topic for DM's or general chat. Not here.

[frigid gust]

Scaly foot snails live on oceanic thermal vents...

[latent wraith]

The ocean is pretty moist, tbh.

[pliant hatch]

Yeah. I always see the "you are wet" message pop up on my screen the moment I accidentally jump of my Karve into the ocean.

[paper marsh]

yea heat isn't as big a factor as dryness

but I suppose if ashlands has some underwater thermal vents some snails would consider it. I'm not much for it tho

[pliant hatch]

We got 83 days before we're able to find out.

[ember panther]

Or less

[frigid gust]

83 or fewer 😉

[paper marsh]

imagine if Ashlands PTB and actual release of Ashlands happened on the same day 🤭

[pliant hatch]

Should we start playing "The Final Countdown" already, or better wait until there's 10 days left?

[half dragon]

I wonder if those mountain biome looking snow areas will be removed

like surely...

[frigid gust]

In the Ashlands? Yes, most certainly.

[pliant hatch]

Unless it's white ash...

[faint crypt]

i cant find cool servers

[paper marsh]

goes to the mountains to drag a golem over to fight an enemy who exclusively does elemental damage

[paper marsh]

another option would be to make one

actually one golem against 30 ice dvergr would be an interesting fight

[half dragon]

Where's the volcano and the ring?

[pliant hatch]

Last time I checked, Frodo (well actualy Smeagol) destroyed both.

[pliant hatch]

Hmmm. Got nice Bonemass options.

One if the location I already discovered with another character on the parallel map.
The other one is a new location with some plains nearby. Meaning that fight will most likely have some extra challenges.

Wondering which one to take.

[civic rampart]

Shame I can't raise the seabed in the ocean biome, I'd love to be able to build a portal hub way out there for the sake of it.

[fair cairn]

wellp, now that songs in my head

[pliant hatch]

It'll be a long countdown if that remains in your head for the upcoming 83 days.....

[fair cairn]

well, ill be replaying it on youtube till its not stuck anymore

[pliant hatch]

If you do, there's a "School of Rock" version in which some kids are covering it. And the keyboard player in that clip is awesome.

[rain flare]

I would be beyond shocked 😂

[azure yacht]

It seems like you can "sprint" in mid air.

It consumes stamina too. TIL I guess

That seems like an oversight

[paper marsh]

idk I assumed it was intentional

speeds you up same as sprinting too

Pretty useful without feather cape. Very useful with feather cape

[near furnace]

yup

it also consumes stamina if you activate a boss power while running if you keep holding down shift key

[proven marsh]

an eclipse in valheim would be so awesome

[spare fern]

Berserk collab

[lusty crescent]

ODINNNNNNNN

oh

wrong chat

[opal prairie]

<thumb_and_index_fraction_of_mm_apart.jpeg>

[strange arrow]

highly unlikely

that convo earlier... "waah no pvp"

[paper marsh]

highly unlikely indeed

[strange arrow]

i did battlegrounds and arena on WoW for years, and always thought the game didn't need it, and it bred toxicity in the playerbase, so without being a Valheim PvP expert i can safely say the game is fine without it

and they separated the pvp items from the pve game, so using items with resil stat in pve was less favourable than using the pve equivalent

the devs would need a whole new set of weapons and armor to achieve this, and in a game where pvp isn't a focus, also makes it highly unlikely

[azure yacht]

Everything that's implemented into solo can be used in MP.

But everything that's added for MP cannot be used in solo (like cartography table)

Siege engines is something that presumably seems important or even essential in solo.

But I can very perfectly see that it will be used in pvp-focused servers for sieging other player bases

I'm curious on how mod authors will expand on the idea.

Good thing that officially implemented content makes modding much easier as it can be used as framework

[ocean brook]

Does every mod work when playing co-op if the other person has the same setup installed?

[barren widget]

25 days

[frigid gust]

Best place to ask that is #mods-discussion

[frigid gust]

Cartography table is clutch in solo play for me. I can bring other characters into a world and get the map if I need. I think the only mechanic that really gives MP a significant advantage is the forsaken power sharing.

[paper marsh]

They could remove cartography table from the game and I'd take a longgg time to notice

[light moat]

It’s a great decoration at least!

[halcyon blade]

I don't even like using it in multiplayer because everyone's map pins overlap, and old ones you've removed just get copied over again from other players since they still had the copies saved. Decoration is the only use I consider it for (I only use 1 player for each world, so no functional need for it).

[nocturne wolf]

I like to use wards for decoration, but I don’t understand why anyone would want to use them for their intended purpose. Why make players break a door down if they could just open it instead?

[frigid gust]

You can add multiple people as allowed to the same ward. The biggest benefit is that it will alert you when things in your base are damaged by enemies.

[halcyon blade]

Yeah, the alert is nice, especially when the attacks themselves are out of ear shot.

[nocturne wolf]

I know. I have to do this because me and my friends have banned using wards to lock stuff. Some very bad things happened in our first world because of them.

[frigid gust]

I mean, it can also make a private base for multiplayer servers, you can have your shared and your personal areas and even if it's not a hard lock, it's like a bathroom door privacy lock 😛

[halcyon blade]

Yeah, I used them for locking chests in my personal base, since people were prone to taking stuff without asking or mentioning that they took something. Also used personal chests around a site where I was building something, so no one would take the materials I needed if I was off doing something else.

[unique onyx]

i imagine thieves complain about security systems too, just the way of the world lol

[azure yacht]

But that own-character map info sharing is very conditional, I could never use it unless I really wanted to. And the shared forsaken power mechanic (which I dislike) is more like just another MP advantage over solo, solo players can use the power too.

I meant features that are very exclusive to MP, that not even solo players can do no matter what.

Like multiplayer ship rowing. A solo player would never be able to use multiple rows at the same time, you'd exclusively need at least one more person

[frigid gust]

You can't have multiple forsaken powers simultaneously single player, but you can in multiplayer. But overall I do agree that there shouldn't be significant MP benefits overall like that.

[low crypt]

there was a funny bug

[azure yacht]

Wards are similar. Very little use in solo except alerting you of pieces being attacked (as if the sound and white numbers showing somewhere weren't an indicator)

I really wished they increase its spawn-prevention radius so it became actually useful. And it wouldn't break the MP features

[low crypt]

valheim had a price of 435 dollars for some reason

[nocturne wolf]

Seems worth it

[low crypt]

just send the link via discord

put a screenshot in memes

also built a wisp farm in the swamp

the platform is around 8x8 stone, does it need to be bigger?

[empty bison]

Okey, bonemass was kinda easy, got into mountains now and creatures here dont give me a break. I mine like 6 sec and golem or drake appear. How you all deal with that? 😄

[halcyon blade]

Kill and move on.

[paper marsh]

Kill and move on. I also like to dig pits and push golems into them because then they're harmless and wont respawn in the area (since theres still one alive)

[frigid gust]

Ya run 😛 The iron mace is about your best bet against the golems, an iron buckler should be able to parry it in normal settings. Bows for the drakes, dodge roll and avoid damage

[nocturne wolf]

Keep killing the enemies, all the nearby ones will be dead eventually.

[unique onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/dodge-dodgeball-duck-dip-tips-gif-16899633

[low crypt]

also this is just a me thing but i personally like to map out the biome of all silver deposits and frost caves before mining them

[frigid gust]

Golem hunting is actually one of my favorite pastimes, bombing around the mountains in Fenris armor and grabbing crystal

[low crypt]

do not use frostner against them btw, was kinda stupid of me in hindsight

and the lox pit level grinder is very efficent

[frigid gust]

Yeah... we all make that mistake. Once.

[low crypt]

have an auto lox breeder and once the pit is a bit full i turn on pvp and start wacking them

working on clubs now

[frigid gust]

Poor babies... I never specifically grind skills. Never found the need to.

[low crypt]

i wait until they are fully grown

also i need to empty it every now and then but i have been thinking of teleporting them all to yag

[frigid gust]

They are always fuzzy babies, even if they're big

[low crypt]

and watching them duke it out

[nocturne wolf]

They dont last long against yag

[low crypt]

still now i have way too much lox meat and feathers

good point as they are weak to fire

[nocturne wolf]

I once summoned a whole bunch to fight (10-20 maybe?) and see what would happen. They all died.

[low crypt]

i mean hide not feathers

i do also have a lot of feathers because of my chicken farm

[frigid gust]

Wolves are pretty good against Yag, though. They attack so fast that he can't really kill them quickly enough if you have a large enough pack.

[low crypt]

got them pre yag via a close tower

yep it says 435 dollars for some odd reason

very funny

my question is why yag isnt weak to blunt

he is a giant skeleton

i mean i guess he is the 5th boss

[rare birch]

Holy cow this infested mine is full of so many 2 star ticks and 1 star. I had 4 hanging off me at once.

[unique onyx]

big boned

[low crypt]

root harness

[nocturne wolf]

Maces would probably be too op at that point, because of frostner and bonemass.

[desert flower]

Just wait for the 2 star seekers...

[low crypt]

was gonna make a weed joke as blunt is a weed thing but i dont feel like it now

i have not used aetgirs at all tbh, i am a 2 handed club guy

[paper marsh]

I hate atgeirs

[nocturne wolf]

I never liked sledges that much, they seem to do low damage

[desert flower]

Atgiers are life

[paper marsh]

nah they're too good

[rare birch]

I believe I have encountered a couple. I hate ticks in real life even lol

[empty bison]

alright, managed to snipe some silver and wolves and frost resist cloak is mine. Should be easier now without brewing pots

[nocturne wolf]

Keep some mead in a chest so you can get your stuff easily if you die

[vivid walrus]

I have a stuck lox and I tried putting a saddleo n it, and the saddle just disappeared.... any way to get the saddle back? This is the second time it's happened.

Two different lox stuck

[crude yacht]

Sometimes things get bugged and out of whack. Have you tried logging out and logging back in to fix the Lox? If it is a dedicatd server, stopping and restarting it might fix it. Probably no way to get the saddle back, but you can try spawning a new one using devcommands or the materials to make a new one.

[vivid walrus]

😣 I don't really want to start using devcommands... if I start using them I won't stop. It's a dedicated server, so I guess I'll try restarting the server.

[crude yacht]

Yeah, sometimes there is a disconnect between the server and your client that causes an object get bugged. I've seen furnaces that accept ores and coal but don't register it. I've dumped an entire stack of coal into it that disappeared into the nether. If you see funky things happen, best to stop, try exiting and reopening, or restarting the server if you are on a dedicated.

Out of curiosity, does anyone here know if there is an official way to submit bugs and what logs/information is suggested/required?

[vocal rivet]

You can post in #steam-bugs-discussion or #xbox-bugs-discussion or officially at https://valheimbugs.featureupvote.com/ if you're sure it's a bug.

[north pecan]

i cant post that in valhiem chat ?

[near furnace]

sorry no. not when we have a dedicated channel for just that feature 😄

else you would have 100's of posts in this channel and having a conversation would be impossible

[vocal rivet]

Whelp.

[wide zodiac]

Will drinking a fire resist potion completely cancel out my root chest piece fire weakness ?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes

[light moat]

Yep!

[near furnace]

^

[wide zodiac]

Will i get more total fire resistance by not wearing a root chest piece at all? Or is it the same

[light moat]

It’s the same.

[lament dome]

TIL portals are ~23.5% edible

[nocturne wolf]

What’s wrong with the rest of it?

[lament dome]

I'll see myself out

[lyric olive]

Well I just finished ||Yagluth|| the boss, that one was the easiest of all of them so far.

[lament dome]

can't eat wood, can't eat Surtling Cores

[nocturne wolf]

You mean you don’t want to eat wood or surtling cores

[lament dome]

Also, I hate indulging in cannibalism anytime I eat sausages

[nocturne wolf]

Just think of the poor innocent boar that went into it

[near furnace]

how?
how you beat it so easily? 😮

most people don't like meteors to the face

[lyric olive]

Just sworded him really

Had the barley wine going and I stood behind the rock any time he threw them lol

[nocturne wolf]

Yagluth can kill all other bosses

[lunar sapphire]

Axed him a question

[lyric olive]

I defeated him in like 15 minutes. it was really easy

[lyric olive]

Yeah that makes sense

[nocturne wolf]

The queen cant get him to half health because of the pierce resistance

[lyric olive]

no spoilers thx

Well its great people spoil stuff randomly

[nocturne wolf]

I wasn’t expecting anyone to have a problem with it, it’s usually fine. Speaking in a public discord server usually isn’t a good idea if you don’t want to be spoiled for a game.

[lyric olive]

I'm going to block you now so its fine

When someone is spoiling parts of their sentence, you should probably take it as a big hint.

[lament dome]

What? She is literally named on the stone where you first spawn, how is saying her name a spoiler?

[nocturne wolf]

All I mentioned was that she does pierce damage, surely it’s not that bad?

[lament dome]

Yeah like... That's like saying "There are no guns in Lord of the Rings"

I am doing my first playthrough and she even has these big piercers on the ritual monolith, you just stated the obvious

[brazen shore]

!@#$% SPOILERS!!!1

[paper marsh]

Well, theoretically anyways

[nocturne wolf]

I’ve edited the game files and tested it

Yagluth is the only boss that can consistently kill a later boss, but moder probably could’ve killed the queen too if she stayed in air longer

[paper marsh]

Just don’t want people trying to drag yag over to Moder for him to kill her, only to realize that Yag actually can’t hurt any other bosses

[halcyon blade]

And then they team up and ruin your day.

[paper marsh]

Also no matter how many ppl hate her bugs Moder is still my favorite boss fight

[nocturne wolf]

It’s all good until you’re stuck under her head (my favourite too)

[paper marsh]

Being stuck under her head kinda sucks but it’s not too bad. You can still dodge roll all her attacks

Also with root chest her bites don’t even hurt that much on V hard (I swear wiki is wrong about her bites being slash, also makes no sense)

I think what I like about her is that she’s a challenge bc she has tons of damage, but her attacks are direct instead of just leaving an annoying fire or poison cloud that you have to tank or wait for, and all weapons are pretty viable against her. Even better that she encourages pierce and fist weapons which otherwise tends to be discouraged

[normal canopy]

i wonder how much content is.planned if the game is still in 0.2 version

[nocturne wolf]

A game doesnt need to reach 0.9 to get to 1.0

[paper marsh]

Ashlands, deep north, and some miscellaneous stuff I imagine

[normal canopy]

odin final boss

[nocturne wolf]

Deep north will probably have the final boss. Odin doesn’t want to fight us.

[normal canopy]

Too scared?

[nocturne wolf]

Odin’s too scared of my frostner

[uncut bough]

I was near a dvergr settlement, being a few meters away taking an abandoned excavation site with some brain crates, and when i come back to that settlement i saw a seeker soldier 1 star

I was about to run around the house to lure it to dvergr, and then i realize it aggros me and it is not being attacked by any dvergr

They are just dead, all gone, the house was taken apart by chunks, at least the soldier only has like a sliver of health left

[loud valve]

More sap extractors for you too

[low crypt]

i have bad news for you, the frostner will be absolutely useless in the deep north

[river mica]

Yo does anyone have a 100% vanilla server I could join?

[shy marlin]

#1024264966712340510 Check there

[dusky basalt]

How do I make a maypole? Willing to use cheats. Got a seed with a maypole in it and right clicked instead of left clicked and now I wanna kms

[shy marlin]

Type -console in properties in steam and then when you're in the game press f5 then type devcommands followed by debugmode, press b to enable no placement cost and you can open your hammer and place the maypole. 👍

Just be careful with cheats, it's a slippery slope and can ruin the survival experience

[vernal nimbus]

anyone want to play?

[frigid gust]

The maypole is unlocked for the month of June if you want to wait, it's a seasonal item

[frigid gust]

Group discussions are best in #1024264966712340510 , easier to get like-minded players together and keeps this chat cleaner 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

I never said anything about using my frostner in the deep north

[uncut bough]

What’s up Gjall

[latent gorge]

What is the difference between enemies in mountain and deep north?

Maybe deep north has mammoth 🦣?

[merry pebble]

deep north has no enemies currently...

[exotic cradle]

it does when I visit

[hardy junco]

how many patches are we gonna get before update because im just tierd from all these patches

every day that im openin steam i wish to see that update

[exotic cradle]

I mean, you don't have to open it every day, check here

[merry pebble]

after current ptb is live the next ptb should be ashlands

[fast wadi]

I believe i have seen somewhere that ashlands is ready, they are just finishing the last bugs and so on. There will be no big patch before ashlands - I do the same and check everywhere all the time

[hardy junco]

so how am suppose to play games then?

[hardy junco]

so is it possible that we get it in this month (april)

[exotic cradle]

Alright time to stop replying

Me as in

[fast wadi]

I would say yes.. Otherwise i dont understand why the have made those posts about "ashlands is coming, get ready" and so on

[merry pebble]

possible, but we have no idea if that will be the case, and before releasing ashlands to the main branch there will be ptb of it

[hardy junco]

and i should remind you guys this part they said first half of the year update will come and as i know first half of the year will end in april

[vocal rivet]

Lol. No.

[hardy junco]

wierd

then when is it?

[vocal rivet]

June 30th.

[fast wadi]

I guess that means in one of the first 6 months

[merry pebble]

as far as i know half of 12 months is 6 😄 so end of june concludes first half

[hardy junco]

6 months???????????????????????

[fast wadi]

.. Of the year. So 30th june

[hardy junco]

:\

[exotic cradle]

[fast wadi]

As the lastest*

[hardy junco]

damn my calculat was suck

[fast wadi]

Yes indeed 😄

[hardy junco]

yeah cause my calender is diffirent

[vocal rivet]

No calendar has an 8 month year.

[hardy junco]

no i mean my year is not based in Georgian Year

mine is solar year

thats why i thought it will be in april

thats the reason

[exotic cradle]

Alas! Not yet ^^

[vocal rivet]

The Gregorian calendar is also solar, incidentally.

[hardy junco]

no i mean look im persian

my calendar is solar

[uncut bough]

Deep north gonna be inhabited with seals

I dont think it is true but a man can dream

[hardy junco]

not like america or europian countries

[opal prairie]

Morning gjall.

[hardy junco]

got it?

[uncut bough]

gjall noise in distance

[vocal rivet]

I was never confused.

[hardy junco]

ok then

[opal prairie]

hides I forgot my boomstick at home.
It is a magic wand / club / sword / whatever my 9 year old decides what it is right this moment, my 9 year old made me.

[pure condor]

when ash?

[opal prairie]

30th of june at the latest.

[nocturne wolf]

The game already has ash, just nothing on the ash.

[pure condor]

explored that on my main save, gotta start new one tho

[nocturne wolf]

If you’ve only explored a small part the rest will still generate new stuff

[vernal nimbus]

anybody want to play with me?

[nocturne wolf]

People in #1024264966712340510 want to

[vernal nimbus]

thank you

[neat tendon]

I can sense it.. Ashlands testing feels really close... I have food and accumulated sick time! I'm ready for my 200+ hours in testing lol

[half dragon]

Every minute in Africa we're 60 seconds closer to the test

[vocal rivet]

Africa?

[nocturne wolf]

possibly a reference to this? https://youtu.be/7Zm1hPbmzPw?si=Ez_JoCeasogygtyI

[half dragon]

Yup, it's a meme

[vocal rivet]

Ah.

[rain flare]

Agreed

[rain flare]

Dangit just when I thought I found somebody else from the continent 😂

[opal prairie]

My brother in law is from Senegal.

[rain flare]

Really? How lovely! 🥰

Buuuut I haven’t met him so it doesn’t count here 😂

[opal prairie]

Yes, the godfather of Collin.
You won't ever meet him here, doesn't play computer games or any digital games really.

[rain flare]

Trying not to get too confused as to which Collin you are referring in this discord 😂

LoL

[opal prairie]

One of my my 9 year old kids ^^

[dense steppe]

From Africa?

[rain flare]

Yeeeeeeeees precious

[dense steppe]

I don't know anyone like that here

[half dragon]

stone is precious. It keeps constantly running out

ming just hit 69 from all this stone mining...

[uncut bough]

Damn almost every good mistlands weapons cost eitr, sparing the caparace spear

the devs need to make gjall saddle, lox riding isn't enough

[azure yacht]

No flying mounts

[dense rapids]

There is the bird at the intro, can't we have that as a mountable pet? 😄

[opal prairie]

A valkyrie as a pet, I would like to see you try.

[dense rapids]

Maybe it's more that you are the pet to the valkyrie, and they mount you?

[muted cairn]

Would be a honorable death, my ancestors smile at me, can you say the same?

[half dragon]

Bees are happy, they would smile

hmm... do workbenches prevent fish from spawning?

[fallen zephyr]

I believe so, yes.

[strange arrow]

yes

[half dragon]

well damn. that's going to be annoying for building a location for fishing

at least enemies don't spawn on top of your own structures... right?

[grizzled wing]

Correct

[strange arrow]

yeh they can only spawn on open ground/terrain

[opal prairie]

You can remove the workbench after you are done building.

[strange arrow]

or move them back so the radius marker isn't touching water

[half dragon]

still will be annoying since can't spawn protect too close to the fishing spot

[light moat]

Would things like torches and sconces prevent spawning as well then?

[half dragon]

but guess barely protecting coast should be fine?

[strange arrow]

yes

[half dragon]

that makes it even more annoying 😂

[light moat]

Could make an especially long dock, since enemies can’t spawn on playerbuilt structures. Yeah, it is unfortunate for sure

[opal prairie]

All this prevents spawning: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

[strange arrow]

dverger lamps are the way to go for illumination

[regal wedge]

i had a meeting at 9 today, but even so i still played valheim untill 4am

[fallen zephyr]

It'd be nice if they any kind of illumination radius, though.

[regal wedge]

i cant with this game, it's consuming me

[half dragon]

oh I just realized that I actually have access to that already. I just haven't built the forge yet

[strange arrow]

don't forget IRL tho xD

[half dragon]

oh nvm... can't make that forge

[strange arrow]

you have to increase the lodbias to get a true feeling, they are limited so as not to stress yr hardware

[regal wedge]

went to the ocean with my friends while singing sea shanties

[light moat]

I actually really like the dvergr lighting- it’s nice to have really dim lighting options 🙂

[regal wedge]

one of the best experiences in the game

[strange arrow]

yeh been there also, agree

[fallen zephyr]

That sounds like fun. I suggest avoiding singing "Genie In A Bottle" by Christina Aguilera with four other guys. It gets awkward.

[half dragon]

hmm... planning to make a tavern kind of building for preparing food/mead and storing it. But before I start building it kinda have to plan it out first a bit. Most buildings I can just start building and see what happens, but anything bigger and complex than a mud hut... time to plan it first

[regal wedge]

noted, thanks for the tip

[strange arrow]

of the classic Aguilera sea shanties collection

A priest, a pastor and a rabbi walk into a metal bar.

A priest, a pastor and a rabbit walk into a bar.
The priest says, "I'll have a Mai 'ai". The pastor says, "I'll have a 'equila". The rabbit says, "I think I'm a typo".

[light moat]

This one actually made me chuckle lol

[fallen zephyr]

I don't think it's the joke I originally heard. But, I tried to adapt 😛

[strange arrow]

very bunny

[hearty niche]

Sometimes Mountains feel like "the thing you have to do before you get to the plains" but then I end up in a big mountain biome wowed by the scenery and the scale. Some of the mountains are silly tall.

[light moat]

I really like mountain biomes, Frost Caves are one of my favorite parts of the game.

[charred otter]

Does butchered knife give any extra food when killing boars or is it fine to just enable friendly fire

[solid crown]

Same amount either way.

[charred otter]

Also how do I get starred boars

[light moat]

Same way as regular boars, it’s more about actually finding them.

[charred lake]

This feeling, you died and knew you should run a looong way, but just sitting near fire in your home

[light moat]

They can be found at those runestones, or a certain distance from spawn I believe.

[vocal rivet]

800m

[opal prairie]

You find starred boars 800+ meter away from spawn, you can find them closer but only at boar stones or abandoned villages and the chance on that is small.

[charred otter]

Ah I see, well guess I won't get any cuz I cba to move them back to my base

[light moat]

Yep, it can be a challenge to get a starred boar back to base- I’m currently working on it as well (just hoping one will spawn in my nearest meadow biome)

[charred otter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF0XH7mMRhk
Can some1 confirm if this design still works bcz it's from 2 years ago?

[charred otter]

I'd just use 0star ig, too lazy and I am fine with it not being as good

[opal prairie]

If your starting island is large enough you can run back to base with them chasing you.
Else you'll have to harpoon them and drag them with you.
Another possibility is setting up a remote boar farm and you get to it with a portal, plant some veggies around it so you get food for yourself and the boars at the same time, spent some time around the farm, just planting and harvesting the vegetables and the boars will multiply if you feed them the moment you get there.

[strange arrow]

it's annoying to waste good carrots on 0 stars

[light moat]

I have a 1-star boar farm at my old Black Forest base, but now I’m looking to get a 2-star boar for my plains base.

[strange arrow]

most likely nothing has changed, can't personally confirm best way is to test it out

[light moat]

In my own opinion, I always feel guilty giving any food to 0 star boars 😅
(Unless it’s to breed it with a starred boar of course)

[charred otter]

Don't want to spend all that time building just to see if it works, is there a different design that u know still works?

[strange arrow]

yes mine xD, but i can't give any examples rn either, just replaced pc and all my shots are on the main rig

[charred otter]

Are they really that bad, cuz I made a little pen with them and have like 16-ish and really don't want to try and get a starred one

[heady parcel]

Am I being lucky, or is seeker spawns near the coast of Mistlands regions rare? I see hares scuttling all over the little islands in the archipelagos, but in days of mapping I've only seen two seekers (and one Gjall).

Helps exploration tremendously

[charred otter]

"still works as of 3rd October 2023 :D" from 6 months ago, were there any updates in between

Cuz I bought the game 1 month ago

[strange arrow]

not to tame ai behaviour, no

[charred otter]

Aight so that should still work

[strange arrow]

all the taming and breeding rules are the same

[charred otter]

#screenshots I assume this is not far enough for boars to spawn, correct?

[strange arrow]

not starred ones

[light moat]

Ehhh depends on the person, I’m just picky. An important question to ask is why do you want a boar farm?

[strange arrow]

unless you get lucky and some one off's spawned at a runestone

[charred otter]

Meat for sausages and other foods + later on when I get to mountains to have food to tame wolves

[charred otter]

Runestone are the red stones with text?

[light moat]

The big ones, yeah

[strange arrow]

i'd place in the "nice to have but not essential" category

[charred otter]

Aight then imma just go with no star

[strange arrow]

yeh for example i prepare food for a medium sized group, so more industrial methods of farming are necessary, if it's a solo game not so much, but if you have time/inclination, they do pay off for the effort still

[charred otter]

Yea it's solo, I would like to have some co-op eventually, just don't have any friends that has the game

[light moat]

Gotta get starred wolves at least 👀

[charred otter]

Didn't even kill bonemass yet

[dense steppe]

I'm also stocking up on supplies for my friends who will return to the game after the update comes out

[muted cairn]

For solo just keep killing the stuff you come along on your pillaging trips

[dense steppe]

climb on the skull and hit with a hammer or shoot with a bow

[nocturne wolf]

A mace and banded shield work well for bonemass

[light moat]

No way, fight Bonemass face to face on even ground, it’s the Viking way!

[dense steppe]

a few antidotes, a healing potion and everything will be fine

[opal prairie]

Should still work but I prefer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NUzfQc77-s
Multi purpose breeder, can be used for wolves and boars, needs 4 boars or 3 wolves, this setup also makes it so that each boar has 2 boars next to it.

[dense steppe]

this path is paved with gravestones

[nocturne wolf]

He's not that bad.

[light moat]

Toughest boss is ||maybe Yagluth? ||🤔

[half dragon]

bonemass isn't even that bad. Very easy to predict

[strange arrow]

he used to be

Og boney was the badass

[half dragon]

I've yet to die to it even once

[dense steppe]

My most difficult fight was with the queen

[unkempt osprey]

When do we get the PTB

[strange arrow]

i smashed him 1st time with the double regen as well, but i was sweating a lot more xD

[dense steppe]

I destroyed him face to face

[unkempt osprey]

Swamp is hardest biome though hands down. Mistlands too easy

[half dragon]

the biome itself, but the boss aint that bad. Moder can be far more dangerous depending on terrain

[dense steppe]

swamps are as simple as the backyard of a house

[light moat]

I don’t know, mistlands was pretty tough for me lol. Not ridiculously tough or anything, just challenging. I imagine the next biome(s) will be even more difficult.

[charred otter]

Any reason to build that other than it being a multi-breader, cuz the other design is simpler

[unkempt osprey]

Sure when you have end game items swamp is easy. Have to look at it from progression pov.

[charred otter]

I can later build the design u sent me for wolves but for boars it seems like the other might be better

[nocturne wolf]

||To a player the queen could be stronger because of all the seekers she spawns but yagluth can kill all other bosses||

[unkempt osprey]

When you get to the swamp you're immediately over powered. It's the largest jump in the game. A lot of people die on the shoreline before they enter the first time

[strange arrow]

probably over-skilled by the time they reached Mistlands

[unkempt osprey]

Mistlands you jump over 90% of the enemies

[charred otter]

Happened to me

[strange arrow]

confirmed xD

[unkempt osprey]

I dare you to jump over a dragr with leather on see how that works out for ya

[light moat]

I feel like in mistalnds, enemies always deal a lot of damage, even in the biomes upgraded armor. Especially started enemies.

[nocturne wolf]

No different to jumping without leather?

[unkempt osprey]

I suppose that is true , death either way

I can run circles around everything in mistlands quite literally , no fun

[opal prairie]

Looks fancier, you can dress it up nicely, is normally a bit quicker in producing boars since it uses 4 boars and there are always 3 boars close together so quicker breeding.
You can do a mix of 2 wolves and 2 boars.

[light moat]

Probably should’ve going against Draugr in leather though

[half dragon]

how common 1 and 2 stars are in the swamp adds a lot to the difficulty (the abundance of spawners)

then add in oozers...

[unkempt osprey]

When you first get to the swamps a lot of people still rocking upgraded leather

That's how u gotta look at the biome difficultly

[charred otter]

Think I will go with the other design for boars and then later on with that design for wolves

[strange arrow]

compare going undergeared and skilled going into swamp and being over geared and skilled in Mistlands and wonder why one seems difficult and the other doesn't

[unkempt osprey]

You gotta look at the previous biome items and food and think about where you are in the game when you get there

[light moat]

But the previous biome is bronze and troll leather, yeah?

[half dragon]

maxed troll armor set and it's still dangerous AF

[unkempt osprey]

By the time you get to mtns , your food and items on par from the swamp with my enemies. You're just not over powered like you are when you get to the swamp in any other biome

I meant troll leather

[strange arrow]

rushing Swamp is a rookie mistake

[light moat]

I always use maxed bronze, maybe that’s why the swamp never gives me too much trouble. But yeah, I’d still put it at second hardest biome for me.

[strange arrow]

missing the turnips and the cauldron upgrade hampers a lot of players

[light moat]

Guess I always rush turnips too though, so maybe I’m biased.

[half dragon]

gotta enjoy those not so fresh sausages

[slender dagger]

whats the best strat for yagluth? and weapon/gear loadout (also which potions should i have)

[nocturne wolf]

Use a silver weapon

[slender dagger]

why

[light moat]

Keep an eye on his hands, they telegraph his attacks. Fire resist mead is basically a must-have.

[nocturne wolf]

he's undead, it does more damage to him than blackmetal because of spirit damage

[light moat]

Silver sword and Frostner are both great options

[slender dagger]

whats best silver sword or frostner

[strange arrow]

||sneak to Mistlands and get hare meat and mushroom farm and marble for the cauldron upgrade||

[slender dagger]

u sure thats a good idea

[light moat]

They’re pretty close, I say Frostner. But most others say silver sword.

[nocturne wolf]

You don't need to do that. I haven't and don't have too much trouble with the fight.

[slender dagger]

ah ok ill get frostner then, heard its good for mistlands or sum too

[strange arrow]

not needed for sure, but an option

[light moat]

You’ll get more use out of Frostner in other areas as well, it’s a solid weapon.

[slender dagger]

alright, which armour

[half dragon]

frostner is far more likely to have some levels to it for average player

[strange arrow]

padded

[slender dagger]

full padded?

[strange arrow]

ye

[nocturne wolf]

I've only done it with padded but if you aren't as cursed as I am with frost caves fenris could work well.

[slender dagger]

alr

i cant seem to find the vegvisir for him :(

[strange arrow]

with the barley wine the fire is less of an issue

[paper marsh]

Prob not if it’s your first play through. For repeat play through doing a bit of biome skipping is good tho

[slender dagger]

yeah im gonna make a bunch of stamina and healing potions too

[light moat]

Gotta have the staples- best food, HP and stam mead, rested buff

[slender dagger]

i did item skipping lol, skipped iron fully only made a lil stuff

also raided fuling villages before entering mountains

[paper marsh]

He’s generally the hardest boss to find. Vegvisirs can be found in Stonehenge structures or I think fuling stone towers but it’s not guaranteed. I think most people found his altar before the vegvisirs because it’s a bit altar

[slender dagger]

2x food or 2x stamina?

[nocturne wolf]

My friend tamed a lox before we defeated the elder in our first world

[slender dagger]

damn alr

[strange arrow]

serpent stew lox pie and whatever, bread maybe

[slender dagger]

nah what 😭

[paper marsh]

Not so much item skipping as biome skipping. Like getting silver before beating bonemass, or mistlands good before killing yag

[slender dagger]

i have 6 serpent stew and bunch of the rest

[nocturne wolf]

He died more doing that than I have in all my time playing valheim

[slender dagger]

lmao

how long did it take yall to find the boss?

[strange arrow]

if you aren't seeing any signs move to a different quadrant of the world

[nocturne wolf]

I usually find yagluth after I have maxed all my plains equipment, his vegvisirs are very rare

[strange arrow]

some areas seem to be dead spots with no vegs or altars

[slender dagger]

okay, ill do that since ive searched two biomes now without any signs

or well i found another part to this one so ill search that first

[fallen zephyr]

Good advice. Randomness produces clusters as often as it produces broad spreads.

[strange arrow]

yeh for some reason the vegs don't seem to spawn when there aren't any altars nearby

and you get silly ones like the swamp one you noted

[slender dagger]

well i mean the two plains ive explored is probably the furthest distance from each other on the map possible that ive discovered

[fallen zephyr]

I think, on my main play through, I found at least three, maybe four of the bosses without stones.

[slender dagger]

damn lol

i found moder by just running up a very steep mountain and she was just right infront of me

[fallen zephyr]

Just exploring

I don't proclaim it to be quick progress, but it was fun 🙂

[light moat]

I got lucky and stumbled upon yagluths vegvisir pretty quickly. It was at a Stonehenge, and I actually incorporated it into my base.

[paper marsh]

on my current world I got lucky too, found Yag before bonemass and Moder

[light moat]

Oh dang that’s definitely very lucky, nice

Curious, do y’all have multiple of the same work stations around your base that have upgrades for one reason or another? For example, my ‘main house’ has a fully upgraded workbench and forge, and my watchtower (maybe like 50m away, if even) also has an upgraded forge and workbench.

[fallen zephyr]

I have a central upgraded station, then just dotted stations to cover repairs as required.

[plush umbra]

Am having issues pushing vegisirs myself bc open world in swamp

[light moat]

My play is to have at least a few fully upgraded work stations, just to kinda mix things up and have a few different places where I can craft things.

[tribal wave]

Hello, what have you heard about the ashen lands?

[paper marsh]

nope just one of each with upgrades. I'll definitely make some in my outposts though]

[tawdry wyvern]

They are ashen, and they consist of land.

[paper marsh]

probably best not to say here, many people don't want spoilers

It will come out within the next 3 months though

[sour fjord]

i was thinking to myself about something last night and wanted to run it by people here because y'all would know better:
from what I can figure, you can get up to like, mountains with some very careful play and a bit of guesswork (and skipping some stuff) without beating any bosses. it'd be slow, but like, possible. any further than that and I'm lost though, because it's been a long time since i last played the game up to that point (currently at swampboss on my fresh playthrough)

[odd helm]

That's pretty much the current state of bossless runs, yeah. The Mountains to Plains transition requires Moder's tears in order to process most of the resources you'd get.

[frigid gust]

I have seen people get a fair amount of Mistlands gear without defeating a boss, too

[paper marsh]

Some people do still skip Moder and make it to mistlands, you can still make some mistlands weapons without blackmetal. It's just a good chunk of stuff you're locked out of

Likely locked out of most Ashlands stuff to

I feel like bossless + Moder runs could be pretty fun

[sour fjord]

i was thinking people probably already do it, runs without killing bosses

[slender dagger]

i found one of those big stone places in plains twice now and still no veg :(

but this plains i found seems pretty big

[charred otter]

Is there any use for boar trophies? can I even showcase them somewhere?

[frigid gust]

Yeah... the vegvisirs are pretty rare. They can even be in the smaller ones as well, just investigate any irregular structures in the Plains. Lots of times I'll find the Yagluth altar before finding the veg, though

[slender dagger]

you can hang them up with a item thingy, you can craft it with bronze nails if im correct

[frigid gust]

Do you have bronze nails and finewood yet? You can build mounts and hang them, but other than that no, not much use.

[slender dagger]

which places do i need to search for the veg

[charred otter]

Do I get like a comfort bonus or something

[frigid gust]

Not for those, no. You can build lots of other things with finewood that give you comfort, though.

[charred otter]

I kept all trophies in a chest and got 21 boards so I have 1 that doesn't stack

[light moat]

Nope, purely cosmetic. Later though, you can ||obliterate them to turn into coal||

[charred otter]

I guess I'll put that one on display and then start voiding them

[charred otter]

Oh ye I should get some copper to make that

[frigid gust]

All the copper! In like 4 more biomes you'll need more copper 😛

[slender dagger]

wait for iron then

i think about 1k would probs be a good amount

[charred otter]

I have iron

[slender dagger]

yeah but i sitll need iron in plains

like a bunch

[charred otter]

I was fine with like 350 iron and I know like 3 more crypts I could raid, would prob get around 350 with those

[slender dagger]

that would be enough i think, but still you need a bunch

[charred otter]

How does the obliterator work, I put items in it, do I just wait now?

[keen saddle]

When ashlands? 🙂

[fallen zephyr]

It's not "a bunch" but there are iron bars available in Frost Caves if they're close to your plains.

[keen saddle]

pull the handle

[light moat]

Sometime in the first half of this year, so we’re getting close 🙂

[fallen zephyr]

Wait... I just jumped back into chat. Is there someone asking for iron?

[charred otter]

Ah thx, is every item I put there becomes charcoal in a 1:1 ratio?

[frigid gust]

Trophies are 1:1, most other things are 20 or 50:1 I believe

If you have extra meat, it's more efficient to burn it to charcoal on a cooking rack

[charred otter]

I am low on meat

Also for coal I think I'll try the sturling thing in the swamp

[frigid gust]

Yeah, that's the most efficient way, or using kilns. The obliterator is just a good way to get rid of extra stuff just cluttering up chests and have a minor bonus afterwards.

[charred otter]

Yep, too many trophies, is there a list of which are actually useful (for stuff like stag or sledge)

[fallen zephyr]

Once you've progressed past neck/boar/deer meat, those are the most efficient means of coal production.

[frigid gust]

The wiki might have a list, but there are a number that are used for fishing baits, various other crafts and such. My general rule is to keep a stack of most trophies, any more than that is generally useless.

[charred otter]

Oh I have cooked boar meat that I dont need (cuz I used to cook everything)

[frigid gust]

Yeah, once it's cooked there's not much you can do but the obliterator unfortunately. Cooked deer meat can be made into stew at swamp/black forest level, but it's useless beyond that, too

[half dragon]

arguably obliterator is better if you have deep pockets, buying fishing bait and putting it into obliterator is pretty good way to get coal... but even better to grab free coal. What I've done is link 11 geysers together by marked paths and portals. Gets me very close to max weight or past it every time I run through that course which takes a bit less than 5 minutes to run though

[desert flower]

I like to keep garbage food/meat around for when I'm building/farming as cheap food.

or when i get really arrogant, for "really quick runs through the mistlands"

where I invariably regret my decision.

[half dragon]

honey is really damn good building/farming food. Basically 0 effort and gives 35 stamina

[desert flower]

yeah honey + sausages man

fuel for castle building

[half dragon]

I've done a crap ton of mininig recently... not to build a castle but to change the terrain for my large island base. Easily more than 10k spent on it so far

harbor took a massive bulk of it since I wanted it to be above the waves

[desert flower]

iron beam life?

davechappellegotanymoreofthat.jpg

[fallen zephyr]

As much as I hate it, Trump Tower is as much a building goal as a castle.

[half dragon]

no need for iron beams yet. it's just a medium size area raised above water (during high waves) paved with stone slabs, with wooden structures and my smelters on top of it, including 3 workshops for different purposes and a large warehouse to store everything I'm going to get next few years, assuming I do not start over

next up would be the tavern... just need to design it first. It's going to have a cellar and I need to know where to put that cellar first

it's going to have small temporary rooms, the purpose is having multiple beds in 1 location to allow multiple of my characters sleep in that same building

[pliant hatch]

tries to swallow the comment that cellars usually are found below a building

[half dragon]

that's where it will be, just need to design the ground floor rooms first so I know where to put that cellar in relation to everything else

starting with the cellar makes building everything else above it easier

[slender dagger]

ah okay thanks, where in frost caves?

[pliant hatch]

Just use the wooden log beams to outline the building; with the logs itself representing your stone walls.
That way, digging out the cellar will be a lot easier.

If you plan to put any crafting items in that cellar, use the dev commands or free build option to get an idea about how much room is going to be needed to build them; without actually building them.

I've been using that method myself in one of my games, and just got to the point that I've done most of the stone (ground) floor. So far it all looks good.

[half dragon]

I'd rather just design it completely in "creative mode" in another world, makes it so much easier to fix any issues I might encounter while building the 2nd floor

[fallen zephyr]

Destroying the wooden doors in the caves will give you iron bars (sometimes)

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually building things in my head while working at a floor.
So cellar and ground floor are done first; with only a rough idea about how the next floors are going to be.
Leaves some room to creativity or changes if / when needed.

Advantage to that,
I was planning a house which kinda looked like the ones we could build in Skyrim.

[half dragon]

I already know what I'm putting in in ground floor and 2nd floor, problem is there is no way for me to know ahead of time how much room each one of them is going to need. Saves a lot of time when don't have to wait so long to see that it's not going to work

[paper marsh]

Drops when destroying doors in frost caves

Oh my chat was behind

[half dragon]

and it might not turn out great and have to redo large parts of it

[pliant hatch]

In one game I forgot we got the blast-furnace; meaning I need to remove a wall and enlarge the cellar to make sure that one fits.
In the new one - same world, (seed) different character in different game - I discovered I forgot about that one in the other game, so I decided to fit it in.
And since I plan to build my kitchen above that specific area, I'm able to deal with the smoke from all those crafting stations in one go, as the exhaust of the smelter and blast furnace will end up in the hearth or oven.

[half dragon]

why put smelters underground tho?

[pliant hatch]

Like I said, I want to use the idea of the houses in Skyrim.

[paper marsh]

To compact the house

[fallen zephyr]

'Down' is a great facility for improving build efficiency. Use that as you will.

[half dragon]

so far haven't seen a single situation where I can't just put that smelter outside seperate from the house

[pliant hatch]

I'd like to have all crafting stations, minus the Mistland ones in one location.

Having them all in a cellar, makes life a lot easier, as it's also easy to get all resources close to the crafting stations.

[frigid gust]

Down? I only know how to build up...

[fallen zephyr]

You're a golden child. You keep building up. The world needs you.

[half dragon]

When you run out of up, the only way left you can go is down

[latent wraith]

Build from the ground up, a wiseviking once said.

[frigid gust]

Take the highest ground, and go up from there!

[latent wraith]

The only thing that's down is the enemy gate.

[light moat]

Just finished up my wolf themed watchtower for the most part, building with stone is a lot of fun

[unique onyx]

unless it's the roof then if you want to to be even all the way around you gotta build from the top down

[fallen zephyr]

Umm.. choosing down after you've already gone up suggests you're re-treading covered ground.

[half dragon]

The house does come down very nicely when you removed some ground underneath

[fallen zephyr]

Nope. You're not addressing the logistical inconsistency.

[half dragon]

There's none. Your comment just didn't make much sense how is it related to anything

If you go up a hill

and you're at the very top

Do you have to go backwards?
Can you still go up?

No and no

[paper marsh]

I get it

[frigid gust]

Local vs global minima and maxima 😛

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, no. Retracing steps doesn't innatedly turn a step from/to a minima or a maxima.

[maiden granite]

going for the queen

Should these skills be good enough for magic fight
elemental: 54
Blood: 46

[frigid gust]

Retracing, sure. But you said going down after going up, and there is no guarantee that simply losing altitude is retracing steps, nor that you were at anything other than a local maxima

[fallen zephyr]

Your numbers don't define you. Trust in your game plan; manage the adds. You got this.

[paper marsh]

Yes that’s very good

[shy marlin]

More than enough tbh

[paper marsh]

nah, in class and not interested

[shy marlin]

|| Staff of protection is just so broken idk what's fun about it ||

[unique fossil]

im in meadows glade with another guy

if yall want to join

[paper marsh]

I was thinking more ||skellies, but staff of protection|| feels necessary for me. I play V hard hardcore and it’s annoying having to play like you can’t get hit once and like you can’t parry most mobs

||I think at 100 blood magic my skellies would do 300 dmg per hit. That’s 900 (maybe 1200 once Ashlands comes out) damage each time all my skeletons hit an enemy ||

[shy marlin]

|| deadraiser is also incredibly unfun to use imo, due to how bad the skeleton AI is ||

|| But blood magic is still incredibly good, just unfun to use imo ||

|| Also speaking as a dude that's killed 10 queens on VH, it's not possible without blood magic, but it's not fun either ||

[ebon osprey]

no need for the "spoiler" cover, mistlads was released a year and a half ago

[half dragon]

||what's wrong with this?||

[shy marlin]

|| There's literally nothing wrong with typing in spoilered messages, especially when this channel can have new players in it ||

[half dragon]

[ebon osprey]

yeah, everyone can use something the wrong way

[fallen zephyr]

Spoiler: Everyone posting 'hidden' text are people in desperate need of validation.

[paper marsh]

[charred otter]

[paper marsh]

Fighting one of each boss at once sounds more fun

[paper marsh]

No, just pretty

[fallen zephyr]

It's great for birthdays and anniversaries.

[shy marlin]

2 yag is a fun one can confirm

[ebon osprey]

it doesn't matter. Do you use spoiler to cover something from black forest just for the 0.001 that haven't play it?

[frigid gust]

It can be a "shortcut" way of drinking multiple meads, but I find it to be more effort to figure that out than it's worth

[ebon osprey]

The spoiler mark was originally created to cover something that is from the valheim public test chat, to cover spoilers to the non ptb players, nothing more

[latent wraith]

I wasn't aware that the spoiler function on discord was created specifially for this server.

[frigid gust]

I mean... spoiler is generic across all of Discord and many, many, many messaging apps

[latent wraith]

That's some good foresight on discord's side. :p

[ebon osprey]

.

[lusty crescent]

Bro w valheim devs for creating it

They partnered with discord ig

[ebon osprey]

haha u doing toxic coments bro?

[lusty crescent]

No

[light moat]

Maybe this is a good time to move on 👀

[shy marlin]

[lusty crescent]

I can post polls?!

[ebon osprey]

yeah, better.

[light moat]

Gotta find me a nice little island and make one of those fancy island bases 🤔

[ebon osprey]

people can, you cant

[fallen zephyr]

But, boss... the planes! Watch out for tha planes!

[paper marsh]

No I think a good amount of players have played through Black Forest or experience it quickly after playing. Unlike mistlands which there’s a good amount of players who haven’t played yet

[lusty crescent]

I feel like I shouldn't be able to do that

Pretty cool tho

[ebon osprey]

same point, spoilers in that pov are subjective, but due to spoilers here being for ptb content, mistlands do not requiere spoilers. It is like saying yagluth is and undead as spoiler

[latent wraith]

Where did you get the idea that spoilers are exclusively for ptb content? there's own channels for the ptb stuff. And why is it such an enormous problem if people want to be corteous to new players?

[ebon osprey]

whatever, go on

[meager pecan]

Is somebody up to play some Valheim from the fresh start?

trying to make a party

[vocal rivet]

If spoiler tags were just for PTB content we'd never need them as PTB content should remain in those channels. I agree it's nice not to deliberately spoil people.

[wide zodiac]

is there any way to configure day time length? i just feel like it gets dark way too fast

[empty plank]

There is a mod for that

[charred otter]

How do I deal with the swamp firey ppl

[nocturne wolf]

They have very low health

[charred otter]

I know water kills them so do I just let them die, or do I try to fight

[empty plank]

https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/38

[nocturne wolf]

Just try fighting, they aren’t that strong.

[wide zodiac]

would you feel like thats borderline cheating or not at all

[charred otter]

Can I block their projectiles with a shield?

[nocturne wolf]

You can’t be rested for much longer so the day doesnt need to be longer

[empty plank]

I've completed the game (what's to offer obviously) with no mods. So adding mods thereafter is just way of life stuff. Have fun, enjoy the game.

[charred otter]

The question is, would u feel like it's cheating, if u think it's fine go for it

[half dragon]

Highly recommend first killing those "fire people" and then taking a pickaxe/hoe and put the area around that geyser under water, next time they spawn they die

[charred otter]

Ye that's my plan, need to kill them first tho

[half dragon]

they're pretty weak. they don't have much HP and their projectiles are pretty slow. you can just sprint and they will miss

[charred otter]

When they explode does it deal dmg, I can't tell

[charred otter]

I do have root armor (apart from iron legs) not the smartest choice

[paper marsh]

Think they do a tiny bit of blunt and a lot of fire damage. But if you're in swamp you're wet, and wet reduces fire damage A LOT

[wide zodiac]

its just kinda annoying when you're doing farming or building and it gets too dark

[charred otter]

But they don't deal much dmg

[paper marsh]

oh wait you mean when they die? No, it doesn't. Only when they shoot at you

[half dragon]

being wet probably negates root armor weakness

[paper marsh]

it does

[charred otter]

How deep do I need to mine, enough to see water (bcz water is weird it goes/up/down)

[paper marsh]

Better than fire resist tho, because wet gives both fire resist and it reduces the time you're on fire for significantly

[charred otter]

Oh alr, cuz I couldn't tell, I know other mobs explode but the effect looks different

[paper marsh]

Can't really tell you how deep to dig. Just make sure its covered by water most/all the time. Can be pretty shallow

[half dragon]

as long as they touch the water it's deep enough

[empty plank]

Looking for new Viking friends. Fresh start. Skoll. https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1227328104121503769

[charred otter]

Also do I mine the actual geyser aswell or just around it, can I accidentally destroy the geyser

[half dragon]

geyser cannot be destroyed, don't worry

[charred otter]

So just mine as much as I can, alr

What happens if I go on top of the geyser, do I get launched and die

[frigid gust]

It just repeatedly applies burning to you. It's very handy for abominations if you can trick them into walking over one, especially if you parry them while they're standing there

[paper marsh]

Very nice for abominations because mobs don't get wet from rain, just players. So swamp mobs will take chonkers damage from it unlike players

[charred otter]

Oh alr, for some reason the mobs stopped spawning once I cleared it, there were only 2

[paper marsh]

They only spawn every 5 minutes sadly

[charred otter]

Ah makes sense

[paper marsh]

and won't spawn if you put down a workbench/campfire/portal etc. nearby

[charred otter]

My swamp is kinda it's basically the best swamp I think, so many crypts + bonemass + this

Only thing is the geyser might be too close to bonemass

[paper marsh]

can always put down a campfire to stop surtlings from spawning

hell, maybe you could drag bonemass over to sit on top of the geyser?

ah nevermind he only takes 25% damage from fire. Prob won't do much

[charred otter]

I have no idea lol

I found a spawner and an abom spawned exactly in the middle and I think it got stuck between the stones

I am scared a wrath will spawn on me cuz it's 19:15 already

[frigid gust]

Then bug out and come back another day 😉 I often put a portal on top of a nearby crypt in the swamps

[charred otter]

Didn't bring portal mats unfortunately

It's 22:00, time to outrun some wraiths

#screenshots fuck, what do I do lol, will it continue chasing even if I am in a bf?

[paper marsh]

It'll give up eventually. Not based on biome borders though, eventually it will just get bored of chasing you if you run away from where it spawned

[charred otter]

Can I parry it

[merry pebble]

yes

but it attacks pretty fast, be carefull

[charred otter]

What's the cue for when I should shield

[merry pebble]

sound, basically right as you hear it you should parry

[charred otter]

omg it's still chasing me, it has such a far-player detection, it fought a greydwarf and still was able to track me even over like 50+ "blocks"

And now there is also an abom chasing me somehow even tho I am in a black forest

[pliant hatch]

You may try to lure both to any BF monster instead of trying to outrun them.
When you pass another biome's monster, they will often fight one another.
Which gives you the opportunity to either get out of the danger zone, or fight weakened monsters and defeat them more easily.

[charred otter]

When you pass another biome's monster, they will often fight one another.
Ye, him killing that greydwarf prob saved my life

Cuz it gave me some distance, but then he just continued chasing me, some abom joined him (probably some abom I lead to the BF cuz I tried to outrun him at some point)

[latent wraith]

Other biome mobs are great to use as shield/distraction. :>

[hexed grove]

my friend owns our world with all of our stuff but he wont play until yagluth gets nerfed

[charred otter]

So ye it was really chaotic, didn't expect an abom, but was able to cheese a diff abom while being in the swamp so I got the roots I needed

[ember panther]

Not gonna happen
Git gud

[merry pebble]

just lower the difficulty 😄

[charred otter]

Got harnesk to almost max + mats to max it once I get workbench lvl 5

[empty bison]

oof, these stone golems are pain the a** in mountains. Cant time parrying them right

[grizzled wing]

He sounds insufferable 🔥 🔥 💯

[merry pebble]

yeah, the one hand attack is quite a bit faster than the sweep or double hand smash 😄

[elfin atlas]

At what point should I try to enter the howling caverns is it challenging with silver gear?

[merry pebble]

of you never did them before they can be a bit challenging, but in silver gear you should not have much problems 😄
edit: you mean howling cavern or frost caves? i got confused maybe 😅

[latent wraith]

The miniboss dungeons are "hard dungeons for their biome". If you're anywhere ready to fight the biome boss you should be find in them.

[half dragon]

The usual Dark Souls experience: panic roll of eternity. The rolling starts when player feels threatened and ends when he gets hit

[empty bison]

yeah and sometimes you dont even stagger them, they attack in a row eveen with perfect block

[merry pebble]

they dont get staggered on the double hand smash and the sweep for long, but when you parry them on the single hand attack you should be able to get 4-5 hits with a mace

[uncut bough]

do seekers automatically take over an abandoned dvergr structure?

[merry pebble]

no

[uncut bough]

last time i saw a dvergr settlement getting destroyed by a soldier, like the tower and all still remains but every dvergr is dead, so i left the area

but now when i was chasing a tick and happen to come by that place, 1 seeker soldier and 2 seekers was there

and it started chasing me, i lured it to another settlement, they destroyed that settlement as well

[empty bison]

ah I see, tbh, Its kindy risk to engage them in melee, I screwed shield parry and got launched into stone wall that killed me on impact 😄

btw, what are you all crafting first from mountains ? I did cloak and now I am slowly collecting silver+ cave mats

[half dragon]

1. cloak
2. Fenris set + bow
3. Everything else from 1 big haul of silver

[empty bison]

alright ty. So I should go for cave exploring now for fernis set

[half dragon]

it's really good set to have even if you do not use it for combat. It gives you +9% movement speed bonus which is amazing for mountains and below biomes (exploration, foraging ect.)

[empty bison]

I was thinking of silver helmet, but I guess fire resist is strong, right

[paper marsh]

Butchers table first, then cloak, then fang spear. After that I'll get a drake helmet, shield, and maybe some flesh rippers

[merry pebble]

it is, especially in the caves, but i like wolf armor too 😄

[paper marsh]

I hate that silver is so easy to get but has so little use

[loud valve]

We need silver arrows and bolts

[merry pebble]

gess what 😄 there are arrows

[paper marsh]

There's silver arrows. Just no one makes them because they don't have much use

[half dragon]

wolf armor is good for the boss fight. but Fenris armor is good enough to fight moder. I know because I killed moder in fenris set

[paper marsh]

I far prefer fenris to wolf armor for Moder fight

[half dragon]

but obviously harder... highly recommend taking some better gear

[loud valve]

I guess they're so useless I forgot about them. Give them soul damage or something

[paper marsh]

Granted last time I fought her I did drake helmet, root chest, and fenris legs

[merry pebble]

they got spirit dmg...

[loud valve]

Welp, it can be stronger!

[paper marsh]

tbh I didn't really notice they existed until like 500 hours in to the game

[loud valve]

Or let me build a castle out of silver

[ember panther]

Spirit damage is pretty useless after swamps .. Might have some use in Ashlands

[paper marsh]

Spirit will prob be good for ashlands, but silver arrows are prob still gonna be kinda too low tier to be good enough compared to alternatievs

[half dragon]

maybe

[uncut bough]

270 jotun puffs, enough for 1 honey glazed chicken

[half dragon]

it does taste good tho

[paper marsh]

Moder is such a crazy damage hike from previous bosses

[charred otter]

I have a somewhat fine base rn but it's missing alot of stuff I'd like due to lack of space (like a bigger fire and using iron cooking station, having a larger storage section, etc etc) do I just build the new base near my current one in meadows or do I wait till I get to a diff biome?

[paper marsh]

A lot of people stick to one meadows base and just make it better. Personally I like to set up a bigger base once I get to Plains though

[half dragon]

I decided to not dodge 1 barrage of frost projectiles... I went straight from full HP to critical

[paper marsh]

ya thats her most damaging attack

[charred otter]

Plains has annoying mobs no?

[paper marsh]

That's why I ran root chest for my fight with her. with 230hp and root chest I can just barely tank her frost barrage

[half dragon]

not if you spawn protect your base and not have to deal with them

[paper marsh]

meh. Meadows does too. Not much of a problem if you have a wall around your base and spawn protect the immediate area

[charred otter]

How does spawn protection works

[shy marlin]

Why would you want to tank her frost barrage, just wasd

[half dragon]

my current plains base is still work in progress, a large island I'm planning to spawn protect 100%. Currently 80% done with that... will continue that later. Currently working on more buildings

[paper marsh]

well I didn't tank it, I dodged it every time. Was just preparing for every scenario, and the hp and pierce resist helped with her melee attacks too

[shy marlin]

Moder only has one attack that does pierce, and that attack has 30 pierce on it, harnesk against moder is not as valuable as you think it is

[half dragon]

Also 1 thing I'd highly recommend for moder if you want to be extra prepared: raise stone pillars to use them as cover

[paper marsh]

see the white circle around workbenches? Mobs can't spawn in that radius. Stuff like campfires and torches have the same range that they stop spawns, although it doesnt show the circle

Spam campfires around your base and mobs cant spawn there

[frigid gust]

Items built that count as "player base" (most commonly campfires, torches, workbenches, etc.) will prevent spawns in a 20m radius around them. Spawn prevention is building those items so that there are no spawn areas available that are not covered by those radii.

[paper marsh]

I'm not a fan of stone pillars for Moder, but I imagine they can be good if you have low movement speed

[half dragon]

or if you need to recover your health and don't want to risk dying

[frigid gust]

I only play at normal difficulty because I'm not a masochist, so I tend to find the rocks and such around here to be enough cover for the few times I need to recover or hide from attacks

[half dragon]

After getting hit by that barrage had to desperately run around trying not to get hit even once

[charred otter]

Campfires over workbenches? it seems more benefitial to be able to build stuff in that area

[shy marlin]

None of her melee attacks do pierce just an fyi

[frigid gust]

Workbenches are easier to see where they prevent spawns, campfires aren't attacked by enemies and still work even if they're not lit, so they tend to be my go-to.

[paper marsh]

can do either. Neat thing about campfires is that any mobs that do end up grazing nearby won't agro onto campfires and destroy them. They'll agro to workbenches

There's ways to prevent workbenches from being aggroed, but tbh its just more trouble

[paper marsh]

Do you know this for a fact?

[charred otter]

Ah I see, maybe I can do both

[shy marlin]

Yes lol check the wiki if you don't believe me

Or test it yourself if you don't believe the wiki

[paper marsh]

I've checked the wiki, but I think its wrong

[charred otter]

And would just walling everythong off with stakewall make it unbreakable

Or do mobs can go thru that

[paper marsh]

I still need to test, but when I fought her I swear her bite was doing like 60-70 damage to me when it should be doing 160-180. And her slash felt like it was doing that 160ish.

Also makes no sense to me that her bite is slash

[paper marsh]

like wall the workbenches off? or wall the base off?

[charred otter]

Both

[frigid gust]

Wolf bites are slash, so there's precedence

[paper marsh]

Not sure how persistent they will be but they'll probably end up breaking your walls yeah. Best thing is really to just put something to stop them from spawning, but that won't get destroyed if an enemy does get near. And then just put walls around your base itself to be safe

[charred otter]

So have some wall then spawn proof both the inside and a bit of the outside?

[paper marsh]

is it just a bite though? Always looks to me like they use their front legs to slash you too

[empty bison]

pickaxe bolts are not vanilla, right?

[frigid gust]

Wolves technically have claws, but they don't use them for attacking quite like a cat

[frigid gust]

lolno

[shy marlin]

Ye wolves irl use claws more for traction than anything

[empty bison]

is there some special recipe for obsidian arrows? I dont have them in bench crafting even tho I have 100+ obsidian in chests

[desert flower]

did you upgrade your workbench?

[charred otter]

#screenshots thinking to maybe actually move the base to somewhere else so it'll be easier with metal transfer

[empty bison]

I did, lvl 5 now

[charred otter]

Cuz I assume I'd need to bring over metals from mountains/plains back to base

[desert flower]

have you found wood yet?

[empty bison]

wood? you mean basic wood? 😄

[desert flower]

fr though, not sure... should be possible to make once you have the obsidian/lvl 3 workbench

[frigid gust]

You might just be overlooking it... they only require obsidian, regular wood and feathers. Additionally, poison arrows require ooze, and frost arrows require freeze glands.

[wide zodiac]

can i block a cultists fire attack with my shield?

[empty bison]

I dont have them at all there

[paper marsh]

I wanna say no but I'm not 100% sure

[empty bison]

oh wait, I have some mod for bow crafting, I think that could be it

[desert flower]

and your workbench says Lvl 3? (or higher), and it's workbench, not the forge?

[ember panther]

Are you looking at the workbench or the forge

[empty bison]

workbench, I have all arrows there, frost aswell, but not obsidian

[frigid gust]

If you're modding Valheim, this is not the channel for support, and nor is #valheim-help . It just confuses things, as you can see.

[ember panther]

I love me some obsidian arrows. Wish there was more to do with obsidian tho

[desert flower]

like a obsidian glass blade that 1 shots whitewalkers draugr

[charred otter]

How painful is it to transfer mountain/plains metals to the spawn area

If there is no ocean for ship

[desert flower]

depends how close it is to the mountain, you can put it all in a cart and push it off the side to get it down the mountain

[wide zodiac]

obsidian arrows would be so nice. there is an abundance of obsidian in the mountains too

[desert flower]

its very satisfying

[empty bison]

ah yeah, my apologies. I have it only installed to try how that looks, but it seems it transfered just obsidians arrows to another craftbench. Turned it off and I have them there now

[frigid gust]

You need obsidian for elemental arrows, too. I find frost arrows are top-tier for the Mistlands, the slowing really helps with the ||Gjall||

[fleet ingot]

is lagging still a thing when building mega structures in multiplayer?

[charred otter]

Decently far

[ember panther]

I'd build a base closer to source

[azure yacht]

I can confirm now that ballistas are very effective at handling gjalls as long as they don't lose targeting

[desert flower]

I'd say it's worth taking a boat around the island, tbh.

[charred otter]

The plains/mountains I have seen don't really have an easy connection by water

[azure yacht]

But considering gjalls are slow, that's difficult to happen.

A single ballista destroyed a gjall without barely suffering dmg

[desert flower]

are you playing with friends?

[charred otter]

solo

[desert flower]

Cart is the option then, I think. Stam food

I'd do it in trips, and get the eikthyr buff. If you had a friend you could have them carry all the metal and have them jumpin the cart and take it that way (with no weight burden)

[charred otter]

I am maybe considering just enabling metals

thru portals

[paper marsh]

||Ballistas|| are amazing for any slow targets tbh if they’re not Very Resistant to pierce

[desert flower]

Need Flamethrower for the ||Ticks||. Just on principle.

[ember panther]

Oh yeah portal metals is an easy work around too. Before that was an option I used to log into another world

[charred otter]

Yea, not sure if I want to allow it tho

It's my first playthrough and I did install some QoL mods but this feels kinda too much, but then again, I have extremely limited time rn and if I do decide to play I want to have fun, like I have resources on 2x bcz that's what a friend suggested me, and I couldn't imagine how painful having it on 1x would be

do fenris leggings and fenris hood movement speed stat bonus stack?

[ember panther]

Well, it's your call. You'll get more playtime and enjoyment playing the vanilla way but not everyone has the time to dump a tonne of hours into it. You'll run out of progress pretty quick tho

[paper marsh]

Yes. 3% with 1 piece, 6% for 2, 9% for 3

[desert flower]

AND other armors do the same -5% penalty, so in reality you're like 25% faster than your slow-poke armored friends.

Even with limited time these days, I still prefer to play with just 1x resources because I find the ‘slow roast’ Valheim experience most enjoyable for me. Of course, later down the line for additional playthroughs, that might change.

But honestly, the modifiers are there to tailor the experience to your liking, so whatever feels best 🙂

I just got all my ||15 cores from Mistlands|| and got my base to a good place and now my friends are talking about restarting again for ||Ashlands||. I might cry.

[exotic cradle]

Dump them, play solo, like a true viking

[desert flower]

but how am i supposed to show off all the super sweet tar i've farmed to put Carved Darkwood Dividers everywhere if i don't have friends to play with?

*19%

When you’re running Fenris set with flesh rippers / knives going at the speed of sound with +9%, and then there’s the one guy charging 3km behind you with heavy armor and a battle axe for -30%

😎

[desert flower]

+weapon or shield, but yeah 😄

[charred otter]

Yea exactly, for me I would rather experience the game so I don't mind modding and modifying it to make it more fun for me

Especially that I am solo and it's just a pain rather than a joy

If I were with like 1-3 extra friends and we could've collabed and worked on it together, I'd be way more inclined to have it on 1.5x or 1.0 resources and not have portal metals

[plush umbra]

Awe are over half way through the first half of 2024! Ashlands has got to be landing soon!

[paper marsh]

Ye, exciting times!

[desert flower]

[exotic cradle]

[proud oyster]

Love when people ask me when something will be done... "Somewhere between 10 minutes and never. Depends"

[azure yacht]

TIL skeletts don't despawn after you die.

Loyal beyond the (necromancer's) death

[light moat]

That’s what I say when my boss asks me when I’ll be done with my task.

[proud oyster]

It's a valid response 😄

[loud valve]

Sounds like the government

[proud oyster]

its just reality. Sometimes you try to do something and it can be easy or so difficult its not worth doing. Sometimes you don't know ahead of time which case it'll be 😛

[loud valve]

It's normal, but businesses will at least try to placate clients with vague promises. The government just tells you to hurry up and wait.
