valheim-chat

[slender dagger]

alr ill be making that then

after yag ofc (hopefully tn)

[frigid gust]

Frostner is great against yag, too 😉

So, bit of a spoiler, seekers resist all physical damage is why the recommendations are what they are.

[slender dagger]

all i need for yag is frostner and health + stamina potions (already have barley wine)

[solid crown]

My first approach to the mistlands is usually to find a long plains/ mistlands border. If you feel overwhelmed you can run back into the plains and hopefully get some help from the other mobs

[slender dagger]

yeah good idea, didnt work for the 5v1 fuling beserker vs abomination fight (it died before i could see health bar of it)

[frigid gust]

Plus the skeeters are good at hunting wabbits 😛

[slender dagger]

skeeters?

[solid crown]

Oh yeah. You’ll be able to find a bunch of free rabbit meat this way. Deathsquitos = skeeters

[slender dagger]

oh seekers

[azure yacht]

Deathsquitos

[solid crown]

No only other biome mobs will attack hares

I love the way the mist distorts the sounds of all the different mobs. The fuling laughs sound absolutely demented

[rare birch]

Ticks, Seeker, Seeker brood, Dvergr rogue

[slender dagger]

does deathsquitos/fulings attack me while fighting yag?

[pliant hatch]

Yes, they can do that.
Tar growth can do that as well.

[slender dagger]

does fulings respawn in villages?

[frigid gust]

Fun thing about bosses is that there are no enemies that will attack them, even from other biomes. Only your tamed creatures will.

[slender dagger]

ah ok

[pliant hatch]

Hence preparation rule #1:

Clear the area around a boss spawn to avoid outside drawn monsters to join it.

And no, fullings from villages don't respawn once you cleared a village.

However......

It's possible you will find fullings there during the night as they are the "night spawn" and wander into a village.

[plush umbra]

saw the patch oh 0.4GB and was so so excited! Dammit aha

[azure yacht]

Ashlands will be in PTB first as it has been explicitly stated multiple times, it won't go directly to the live branch

[plush umbra]

Not everyone keeps that up to date, I barely know anything about the update on purpose, so, please tone down the attitude aha! Nice to see so many peeps excited though!

[exotic cradle]

For the record don't think Rianu was giving attitude at all >_>

[plush umbra]

I'm aware of this,

[azure yacht]

She just likes having an excuse to use the sticker

[unreal musk]

That means they have time till the end of next month

[exotic cradle]

I felt summoned

[plush umbra]

text is always difficult to get true meaning of messages,

[pliant hatch]

1st half is up to June 30th. So we got 80 days all in all.

[fallen zephyr]

I don't understand this message.

[exotic cradle]

Read slowly and outloud, Moose

[plush umbra]

The irony

[fallen zephyr]

I know, right?

[exotic cradle]

You'll learn my ways someday ❤️

[uncut bough]

If I build a ward in the dvergr tower, does dvergr attack also destroy it when they fight enemies?

[azure yacht]

Mages' attacks can and probably will due to AoE

Dvergr are terrible roommates

[fallen zephyr]

I feel like it's my ways that were not understood.

[half dragon]

I don't think I've herd often enough when the update is coming, I might forget soon

[odd helm]

#general channel descriptions, pin here

Or Samy's emotes

That works too~

[exotic cradle]

I'm taking over the bot role

[fallen zephyr]

Just wait until the day after tomorrow. I'm pretty sure there will be an update on when the next update will be then.

[tulip patrol]

when update? /s

[half dragon]

Could be first half of 2024, but that could be a conspiracy to distract us and release it first 6 months of this year instead.

[pliant hatch]

Might as well change your name into Samacensored if you decide to take over that role.

[fallen zephyr]

I don't want to belittle your knowledge, but I've heard that it'll be some time before the next solstice.

[exotic cradle]

Pls don't let HIM see this

[half dragon]

Becoming a bot is a great way to prepare for the swarm

[odd helm]

He's not the only one who can change nicks, ya know~

[exotic cradle]

Yes but you're nice and lovely 🌸💕

[pliant hatch]

Solved it. 😉

[odd helm]

Wouldn't change without consent first, so no worries~

[summer hinge]

Jokes on you, message logs exist XD

Me omw to change Sam's nickname

[exotic cradle]

Leave this alone hyperchan!

[summer hinge]

Ohhh fine. Ruining my fun

[fallen zephyr]

This conversation is giving me serious IRC vibes.

[exotic cradle]

Then who's gonna wake you up in the morning

[summer hinge]

Not my morning VC buddy!

[frigid gust]

Sorry, domestic squabbles belong in #general , not here 😛

[summer hinge]

Oops

Well, id better get back to work anyway

[buoyant lake]

Every time i get pinged i think it is a release announcement and i get sad when it isn't

[fallen zephyr]

What about international squabbles?

[frigid gust]

We don't have a #UN channel, so everyone just gets banned

[half dragon]

I've been pinged about 100 times in discord for another game, at this point I'm just expecting that the ping won't be anything important, so no more disappointments 😂

[ornate sentinel]

The amount of disappointment I have in myself right now...

I had two two-star boars. And when I tried to build a rudimentary farm, they both got out.

One of them got killed by necks. The other one was a pain in the ass to wrangle back.

Now I know that there are two-star boars out there, and I can replace the one I lost so I can start breeding, but god damn me for that amateur mistake of not having enough building materials on hand.

[fallen zephyr]

Don't feel bad. You'll outgrow boar meat in a matter of played hours.

[ornate sentinel]

But for a day 9 start, it would have been so good

[pliant hatch]

If you got a 2 star, no need to tame a second.
Tame a common one, let them breed and kill off all the common off-spring the moment they've become adults; thus only keeping the 2 stars boarS.
May take a bit longer to get it going, but it's less frustrating as looking for another 2* boar is.

Works with wolves too, iirc.

[ornate sentinel]

Ah, that is good to know! But I do know where that 2-star is located, so the temptation to aggro him and bring him back to my farm is ever increasing, haha!

It would possibly beat slaughtering the common off-spring until my 2-star eugenics can begin.

But I will have to confirm that when I get back home from work.

[pliant hatch]

Also a tip:

When building that farm, make sure it got a roof and all sides closed.
I dunno how far you've progressed and if this is your first playthrough or not; but you will run into an event that might kill all your boars if you haven't made sure they're in a fully enclosed area.

You could also set up a 2nd breeding pair in a safe pen outside your base to make sure you got some backup in case your farm gets wiped out.

[slender dagger]

oh yeah also is the event gone after killing the certain boss (i know which event but just curious?)

[azure yacht]

Nope

[slender dagger]

alr

[half dragon]

This Inn thingy is coming along nicely... just so much more work to do and need and keep designing it as I build it 😂

[slender dagger]

oh yeah also i see that u like the atgeir, and ive been wondering, isnt it really good against ticks?

[half dragon]

Haven't tried yet. I returned to the game few weeks ago when I noticed Ashlands is getting close. Started a fresh save and all, just preparing this for it. Had about 2 year break so haven't really seen Mistlands for myself yet

[slender dagger]

ah okay nice

[half dragon]

if they are anything like deathsquitos when it comes to being challenging to hit (without blocking/parrying) then it's probably a good weapon for them

[pliant hatch]

That explains the frantic new base building. 🙂

Nothing feels better as starting a new game and build that new base in a favorite biome.

[slender dagger]

well i mean when squitos only deals 5 dmg per hit it isnt really a problem

[half dragon]

30 if you're wearing Fenris set

I raid villages in this gear, just like being able to move faster 😂

with Atgeir, screw bows

[slender dagger]

fenris+root harnesk=single digit dmg

[wide zodiac]

should i use frostner or iron mace against yagluth

[pliant hatch]

Frostner

[merry pebble]

between those two 100% frostner

[half dragon]

I've already got some ideas for upgrading this Inn once we get the update, such as that new wooden floor

[fair cairn]

guess i should also start playing again but its sad cause the world was for me and my freind but he kinda got too busy and now well, i kinda need to play along or i guess restart but idd rather not

[slender dagger]

do i use a shield for yag or does it not matter?

[half dragon]

you could skip to Mistlands and make own stuff in own world, just bring metals you need to get started and your own gear

[merry pebble]

i usually get the blackmetal shield, yes

[half dragon]

Another full inventory of stone, another little bit of progress

[slender dagger]

can you block it?

[merry pebble]

yep you can, i usually parry just to be sure i can block him

[slender dagger]

alr

alr so am i missing anything? i have full padded set, frostner, shield, stamina+health+fire prot, and food, do i need anything else for yag?

[merry pebble]

that should be plenty 😄

[odd helm]

Which foods are you running?

[slender dagger]

bread, lox meat and serpent stew

[merry pebble]

i would make lox pie maybe

[slender dagger]

oh well thats what i meant

got plenty of food, should have abt 175 stamina and 200 hp

am i ready to fight yag?

[merry pebble]

you should have a good chance 😄

[slender dagger]

alr ill try then

[odd helm]

That should be pretty close to BiS for HHS, yeah

[slender dagger]

whats that mean

[odd helm]

Should be good to go~

[slender dagger]

moving my portal away first so it doesnt get destroyed

[odd helm]

Best in slot for a health-health-stamina diet

[slender dagger]

ah

its funny how i can see 4 biomes at the altar, plains, mountains, black forest and swamp

[merry pebble]

only better thing you can get in plains is blood pudding instead of bread but that will only give you +2 health and +5 stamina 😄

[odd helm]

Blood pudding would be better than bread for 5 extra stamina, but I think you're good~

[slender dagger]

true

getting rid of loxes and growths first

[odd helm]

If there's any tar pools very close to the boss altar, try to drain it and place workbenches around the center to prevent any more growth spawns

[slender dagger]

alr

[odd helm]

You don't want one to gank you in the middle of a boss fight~

[slender dagger]

ill just place some workbenches

in haldors caravan if u want to watch me get shit on

[half dragon]

feels like there's never enough tar

drained 9 pits and still need more... much more.

[slender dagger]

is it possible to go backand get new rested buff in yag fight?

#screenshots

[odd helm]

Yes

But remember that the boss will also recover HP while you're not around

[slender dagger]

well too late haha

[odd helm]

Oh I see

[slender dagger]

pretty much 10 min boss fight, my fire res just ran out

[odd helm]

Nice kill~

[slender dagger]

actually pretty fun lol, only the meteors were dangerous when i went to the wrong side of the pillar, got me onetap lol

and he kept shooting his laser beam the opposite way lmao

[shrewd jetty]

Hi guys!

I need something like V+ for fine tuning

Should I install V+ or there is a better mode?

I see that V+ was not updated for 2 years on github.

[heady parcel]

Just got two serpents at once, that's not very common, no?

[frigid gust]

The group in #mods-discussion probably knows better, the main channels are for the base unmodified game

I personally recommend no mods 😉

[ember panther]

I've never taken on two at the same time

[shrewd jetty]

Ok thanks bro 🙂

[vocal rivet]

The world modifiers kinda negate the need for most of what V+ offered.

[heady parcel]

Valheim needs no mods, unless what you are really after is a crpg in this style, in which case I'd love to see the end result. My absolute dream would be a crpg "building kit" like NWN in the Valheim engine. Sweet baby

[slender dagger]

could anyone explain why theres fulings in the black forest biome im in, its close to haldor and have explored the full island with no plains. And there has not been any raid

[vocal rivet]

What bosses have you killed?

[slender dagger]

all but queen

[odd helm]

They just killed Yagluth

Yep, now fulings can spawn at night in most biomes

[slender dagger]

ohh okay

thanks

[frigid gust]

For future reference, defeating every boss except Moder adds some of the mobs from that biome to the nighttime worldwide spawns (across most biomes, exceptions apply, no guarantee expressed or implied except in Niflheim)

[heady parcel]

Three serptent attacks in five minutes, two of them at the same time. I'm a serpent whisperer...

[slender dagger]

if i kill queen will seekers spawn?

[heady parcel]

Yes

[frigid gust]

and a few other things... you get some fun turf wars going on at night

[half dragon]

one of the reasons I do not think I'll kill any of the bosses past moder in this world and go get the boss kills and stuff in another world. Not fan of enemies littering everywhere

[heady parcel]

I was a bit disappointed when the individual boss progress thing didn't include the night spawns

I have stone age newbies on my servers getting whacked by fulings at night...

[frigid gust]

I love post-Yag base building. Blackmetal delivery service every night.

[half dragon]

my base is already in plains

[frigid gust]

But what about your second base? And your forward operating base? And your sap mining base? And your mistlands farm base?

[slender dagger]

will 2 starred wolfs be able to clean them up?

[merry pebble]

"We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast base?"

[half dragon]

the time I'd be spending in thosse would be the time I spend building it while skipping nights. Then occasionally visit just to collect the goodies

[frigid gust]

They will help, but wolves start getting pretty outclassed by seekers and fulings, especially since seekers resist physical damage

[slender dagger]

will they be able to do it if theres enough?

[frigid gust]

Sure, but you will likely run into a net-negative situation unless you spend a lot of daytime breeding them and making sure to sleep at night so they survive to adulthood

[slender dagger]

ah, what about loxes?

[frigid gust]

They're quite a bit tougher, but they still take neutral damage from Seekers and Fulings and will not survive super long. A mix of tames can work well, but it's a numbers game. You won't be able to leave just 2-3 out at night and count them as safe. You probably need 10x that.

[heady parcel]

It is oddly satisfying to watch lower creatures piss off lox and suffer the consequences

[light moat]

I feel like in most cases, the lox bully the smaller guys 😭

[frigid gust]

Smaller guys = your base structures

[heady parcel]

Aye, it doesn't take much to piss them off

[light moat]

No, you don’t have to go and stomp those boar to death, they’re minding their own business!

Although anything attacking a greyling or neck is always funny lol

[frigid gust]

Wolves in the meadows are nice like that, I have one world where I keep finding random tamed wolves kilometers from my base, they seem to have wandered and bred while I was out gathering berries and such.

[heady parcel]

Necks have this wonderfully moronic aggressiveness

They just go berserk regardless of what they face

Never tamed a wolf. Never got the opportunity really, and didn't actively look for it

I just wish Mistlands could be permanently unveiled after you beat the Queen. It's such an awesome looking biome but you only ever get to see small patches of it

[frigid gust]

Just gotta explore more. I've got a cool location in #building-screenshots you can see where there's a lot of clear mist, and it not going away makes those areas so much more valuable. Also, with being able to see things from a distance it kinda defeats the whole "mist" part of the Mistlands... it doesn't stop being cold in the mountains or rainy in the swamps after you defeat those bosses.

[heady parcel]

Honestly, it would suffice (post spanking Queen ofc) if it would be misty as Plains is mornings and evenings. The impenetrable smoke bubbles in Mistlands is pretty meh in my eyes

[light moat]

I actually find other biomes to be a lot prettier than mistalnds. Not saying Mistlands isn’t beautiful, but imo it’s trumped by the plains and Black Forest. I will say, the shape/landscape of the mistlands is super cool. Just my opinion though.

Theoretically, if you had an incredibly large mistlands base- say like a castle. Would you have mist inside of it?
Edit: fixed fat finger spelling

[vocal rivet]

Mistlands...

[frigid gust]

Place wisp torches around and they clear the mist

[heady parcel]

Mistlands terrain is a nightmare to navigate before you get the feather cloak, but I love how it looks in the un-misty parts. But dangit, being able to fly would be necessary to build a main base there haha

[light moat]

Right, what I mean I guess is would large rooms that are sheltered generate mist inside of it? (Setting aside mist torches I mean)

[frigid gust]

I just have an elevator portal 😛 And know where to climb. But I don't mind the mistlands without a feather cape, the biggest thing to do is just be methodical and manage your stamina closely.

[light moat]

Are carrots/turnips/onions plantable in the mistlands?

[frigid gust]

If they were previously in a misty area, yes. It works similar to fog in the rest of the world, except you can manage it with the torches.

You need a farm across at least two biomes at minimum to grow all currently available foods. Plains grows everything except Mistlands mushrooms, and the Mistlands only grows the mushrooms.

[light moat]

For some reason I forgot that regular fog appears in your home lol

[dreamy kiln]

you are not the only one 😄

[low crypt]

do enemies killed by dvergr drop loot?

[dreamy kiln]

yes sir

[low crypt]

oh the loot just sunk

my bad

[plush umbra]

where can i find a shared world save of peoples built worlds?

[dreamy kiln]

free loot and u let it sink? 😮

[heady parcel]

Do Dvergr Lanterns have the same status as torches? As base items I mean?

[desert flower]

here you go: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Player_base

looks like no

[heady parcel]

Thanks, so the answer is no 🙂

[light moat]

Huh, good to note

[heady parcel]

I wonder if black metal will have any use in Ashlands, I have so much of it smelted by now, I just cba picking it up from fulings anymore. Feels like such a tremendous waste 😛

[light moat]

I hope not 😅

[nocturne harbor]

||Flamental Ore|| though...

[desert flower]

only time will tell... I bet it'll use some--Mistlands recipes use every metal at some point

pretty sure...

[light moat]

I think you’re right 🤔

[desert flower]

but with black metal, you get SOOOO much storage space

[heady parcel]

Yeah. I'm a little annoyed there are no black metal arrows. Even though the needle arrows are there, the blackmetal is a commodity that just keeps coming delivered to your doorstep, while you have to actively hunt for the squitos once you're past plains...

[desert flower]

that's true, there are black metal bolts though

[light moat]

But that shiny green metallic look 😅

[heady parcel]

I don't use ballistae though, feels pointless when it's easier to just run out and kill stuff

[desert flower]

for the arbalest too

[heady parcel]

I need to build a couple of ballistae to test them tho

[frigid gust]

They're best against big and slow enemies, so I tend to use ballista for things like gjall and lox, set them with trophies so I can still safely go do what you're saying

[desert flower]

Players should have trophies so I can target my friends

where's my valheim dogtags? this game needs a CoD rework /s

[heady parcel]

My main base is in meadows, so I guess I could program them for trolls and it would reduce repairs needed to my auxillary defences 😄

Nothing else ever gets to cause any damage

Might change with the Hildir raids, haven't turned in the chest from the plains tower yet

Hildir was on the exact opposite end of the map from the tower...

[frigid gust]

Man, the Plains and Mistlands and Mountains are all so pretty though... I love building there

[heady parcel]

I have smaller bases there, but I love having the main place where I don't have to be so paranoid

Plus I love the green, parkish environment in meadows 🙂

[halcyon blade]

There are 3 of each dungeon, surely at least one of the other 2 was closer.

[light moat]

What about Black Forest? 😭

[nocturne wolf]

I would love to build a base in black forest but my friends don’t want to

[heady parcel]

The one I opted for was close to the queen, the others pretty far out still and not near anything else of note

[light moat]

I have a really nice base in the Black Forest that incorporates a troll cave as a forge, I love it a lot

[heady parcel]

I built a secondary base there, founded on an abandoned tower sitting in a slope near the coast, bordering on mistlands. Awesome location, and so easy to defend.

[light moat]

I really want to build an abbey that incorporates a burial chamber, I think that would turn out nice.

[heady parcel]

Love that idea! Mind if I steal it? Having a haunted crypt in my basement would be awesome!

[light moat]

Absolutely, go for it! Just tag me if you post any screenshots so I can steal your ideas 😉

[frigid gust]

Yeah, the Black Forest can be great but I just haven't found a nice coastline that I like with it. The trees are pretty to wander through, but I don't like sleeping there for some reason.

It also seems to be stormier there than in most biomes, but that might just be my perception

[light moat]

My base also features a pretty nice lake, so I built a little fishing gazebo that turned out pretty nice. Oak trees look really nice in the BF as well.

[heady parcel]

I'd build around this place, to have a port in the same complex.. #screenshots message

[frigid gust]

I need to do that at my Meadows base, I've got a perfect natural pond right by it that I can easily expand and make into a nice fishing pond

[heady parcel]

It's a minimal black forest patch at a plains coastline, there's literally nothing else than that crypt

[light moat]

Dang lucky find! That is awesome! Makes me want to keep exploring my world for fun anomalies like that

[heady parcel]

Bugger, I just realised I haven't marked that place on my map. Noooooooo...

[elfin snow]

Is there even an ETA on the next update? Been over a year since mistlands...

[heady parcel]

1st half this year

So, June at the latest

[grizzled wing]

Mods really need to put a giant popup in place that tells new joins that ashlands is coming soon

[vocal rivet]

We have it pretty much everywhere possible and people still don't read it.

[odd helm]

You mean like the pin on this channel and the channel description in #general?

[grizzled wing]

People don't read those, i mean a whole ass popup they have to clear before getting access to the server

[vocal rivet]

Like the popup half of every website now has that asks you about cookies that people will just blindly click through to get to the server?

[heady parcel]

Those same people that don't read the stickies will click to hide that popup without reading it too, you just can't get to some folks

[grizzled wing]

More intrusive.

[odd helm]

Unfortunately discord doesn't have that as a feature

[dreamy kiln]

even then people would ask 😄

[grizzled wing]

Common discordia L

[heady parcel]

It's just human nature. I work with maintaining a huge IT system with a lot of users, whenever there's a major update that changes stuff you'll have a certain percentage of users going "why weren't we told?!?" although you've just spent weeks spreading info in every conceivable channel at the company's disposal.

[frigid gust]

"What did the error dialog say?" "What error dialog? I just clicked ok..."

[uncut bough]

I have set up 6 ballistas for the sole purpose of anti-gjall in a dvergr tower, with dvergr inhabitant if course

But i dont have any seeker soldier trophies so idk if they would find their way in and destroy the tower

Their attack deal huge pickaxe dmg to surrounding black marble floor titles so, something to fesr

[frigid gust]

Spikes 😛

[heady parcel]

Dunno what is more destructive to those towers, the seekers or the dvergr mages...

[uncut bough]

I set up 2 balissta at 2nd floor, i hope it has enough elevation angle to look down instead of letting enemy pass harmlessly

It costs so much to make mechanical spring, soft tissue is so hard to find, which makes refined eitr even harder to produce

Hoe about making gjall drops soft tissue upon death?

[frigid gust]

Just gotta murder lots of dwarves, or explore more. There are quite a few skulls out there if you're thorough.

[nocturne wolf]

If it could take any soft tissue you could just make a friend jump into the refiner. It has to be jotun braincells.

[frigid gust]

Is that why dwarves drop it, because they're descended from the Jotunn?

[nocturne wolf]

They’re probably carrying it as an emergency snack

[frigid gust]

"The Poetic Edda describes how the dwarves were made from the blood of Ymir, the first jötunn."

[nimble scarab]

when did the development for the game started? 2016?

[nocturne wolf]

I think 2018 but can’t remember where I heard that so I’m not sure…

[frigid gust]

Development started before that, but the first publicly availalbe releases were 2018-ish I believe

[latent wraith]

The first Fejd videos on dvoid's youtube channel are from 2017, but the game shown there clearly has been in development for some time.

[kind pendant]

Finally found ONE black core

What I’m thinking of doing is just breaking black forge and eitr refinery bsck and forth so I can craft and and get the rescource, meanwhile I find more black cores

[loud valve]

You'll need to keep doing mines for seal fragments anyways

[nocturne wolf]

And the vegvisir unless you get lucky and find it early

[loud valve]

I found the altar while looking for a mine

[halcyon blade]

I had that happen in a multiplayer run. The mistlands I explored had a citadel in it, but I thought it was a mine at first and left it for later (it was across the water and would have been a pain to get to at the time). Was definitely surprised later on when I actually went to check it out.

[near furnace]

late 2017 early 2018 solo dev

[kind pendant]

Just found the vegisvir in my first one 😂

So I don’t have to deal with that luckily!

Mistlands definitely by far one of my favorite biome in the game

[paper marsh]

It is my favorite biome. I suspect Ashlands may change that though

[edgy hollow]

still no ashlands

[light moat]

I don’t know if my favorite is plains or Black Forest. If the Black Forest could grow the mistlands crops, I think it would be my favorite.

[merry pebble]

Ashlands will come out in first half of 2024
there will be public test beta

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/peach-and-goma-gif-91896677444773413

[merry pebble]

nice and tidy now 😄

[edgy hollow]

lmfao

you guys are extremely weird

[merry pebble]

thank you 😊

[nocturne wolf]

Just leave then

[edgy hollow]

im here for news

[near furnace]

now you be nice to the new people

[edgy hollow]

thats it

[ornate sentinel]

What did I miss?

[merry pebble]

nothing much 😄

[frigid gust]

Me in a tutu

[wide zodiac]

do crops lag up your base?

[turbid pollen]

Damn, can't believe even an RTX 4090 isn't able to get constant 100+ FPS on max graphics settings.

Can only imagine if you're around your base 😄

[grand spindle]

my laptop runs it fine on max graphics

[turbid pollen]

Specs?

[grand spindle]

cpu i9-12900H

oops hold on i got the rest lol

[turbid pollen]

I think the processor helps a ton with the game especially with the instances; probably.

[grand spindle]

rtx 3060 ti ram 32gb

[turbid pollen]

Pretty good specs though, how much is your laptop in USD?

[grand spindle]

i acually got it like ono sale for black friday for like 700 but it was around i think 1400 i can look it up rn

[turbid pollen]

I'm saving up for a 2500+ PC build and hoping I can finally run Valheim smoothly to fully enjoy the experience and scenery.

[grand spindle]

https://www.amazon.com/HP-OMEN-i9-12900H-Keyboard-Thunderbolt/dp/B0CHMSBVHP

[turbid pollen]

For now I get 50+ FPS with high-medium settings and 20-35 around my base.

[crude yacht]

Just out of curiosity...at what FPS do you stop enjoying the full experience and scenery?

[turbid pollen]

Bruh, imagine playing at 15+ FPS?

[wide zodiac]

65

[grand spindle]

yeah probably processor could help aswell as a m.2

whats ur ram

[turbid pollen]

Ryzen 7 5700U

[grand spindle]

no ram is memory

[turbid pollen]

Oh, sorry. It's 8GB

[grand spindle]

like how man gb, u sent me ur cpu

[turbid pollen]

lmao I don't know why I did.

[grand spindle]

ah i see

thats ur problem, u said u had a 4090 gpu?

[turbid pollen]

I wish lol

GTX 1650 in a laptop, I doubt it's as powerful as the full graphics card though. It has always been a problem with laptops because of the space.

[grand spindle]

ah i see i could help u build a pc for that price man its actually a hobby of mine haha

[turbid pollen]

Thanks for the offer but I'd like to experience building my own PC for the first time xD
... in a few months or a year...

[grand spindle]

yeah i ment like sending u part ideas

[turbid pollen]

I already have an idea of the parts I want.

[grand spindle]

ah i see

[turbid pollen]

I'm still debating on which one to choose though: 4080, 4090 or 7900XTX.

[grand spindle]

we should move to general chat haha becoming off topic here dont want to get in trouble

[turbid pollen]

FOR VALHEIM!!!

[grand spindle]

fair ahhah, but ether one will do man 4 series is really good man

[light moat]

Tonight was a lot more successful, managed to get another 2-star boar back to base!

[wide zodiac]

mines keep exploding on the boat lol

[crude yacht]

Do you think they will ever make 3 or 4 star mobs?

[sand bramble]

I am invested in the boar subscription and enjoy the updates

[raven heron]

i get consistent 100+fps on max settings with a 3070

[light moat]

It was quite the journey. Searched all last night with no luck. Today, booted up my game, and literally the first boar I saw was a 2! Lured it back, taming it now, so now I’ll have the rest of the evening to expand my base 🙂

[light moat]

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible. It might not be likely, and it could be very far away, but I think it’s possible.

[halcyon blade]

Technically you can with commands, but there aren't extra stars and there aren't extra visual differences. The health, damage, and item drops of the enemy go up accordingly though.

[crude yacht]

5 star mobs can be like the bosses from Shadow of the Collosus.

[kind pendant]

I don’t know why, but one of my friends have the same exact xbox as me, and their game runs so much smoother than mine does even though I have way less game than them (and less fps than them ofc)

[maiden granite]

Probably their graphics settings are lowered for better fps.
Otherwise your xbox is faulty

[crude yacht]

You got a lemon

[kind pendant]

Hmph, maybe graphics can be the case! Maybe vegetation dop etc.

I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, but whenever I want to build a big nice aesthetic base, i’m motivated. But when I look at someone elses build i’m just so demotivated when I see it

[crude yacht]

Why?

Envious? Feelings of inadequacy?

Steal their idea...improve on it.

[grizzled wing]

You've already gotten the dopamine hit from a nice building

[crude yacht]

Do you see other people's builds as inspiration for your own?

Can you still die from falling in debugmode?

[wide zodiac]

comparison is the thief of joy

[kind pendant]

Kind of

[kind pendant]

Very true 😞

[ornate sentinel]

Which is why I named my new second boar "Dissapoint" after they failed to be a second 2-star boar. He will not be long for this world, once the proper heir is raised.

[kind pendant]

Sometimes!

[crude yacht]

The building I'm most proud of was a shrine for the sun and moon that had a viewing window for the path of the sun and moon through the sky.

It was ugly as heck...but was a fun distraction.

[sour fjord]

i see other builds, some of them palacial, and i'm in awe, and stuff like that would be cool to have... in a decently populated server. given i'm always on my own, I don't need all that. I got my comfort house, food house, crafting house, boar house, and crop plant, and they're decent looking, I like 'em. It's like seeing amazing 5-bedroom houses in gorgeous places IRL. Nice to look at, impossible for me to get, and they'd be wasted anyway.

[ember panther]

Is it even possible to run away from Moder or will she just chase you forever?

[sour fjord]

no idea. i kept trying to think of a joke about parents but couldn't land one even half decent.

[maiden granite]

What does "debugmode" do?

I mean we can use the console commands if we use "devcommands"

[sour fjord]

wiki says more but i think it lets you do a few devcommands stuff, just a lot easier

[maiden granite]

which ones to be exact?

[sour fjord]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console#Debug_mode

[jovial fossil]

To combat build satisfaction fatigue I tend to just ..as they say... Pick up the hammer and start building something. Not having a plan can actually be the inspiration to be more creative and spawn ideas as you go. This is where I can get lost for hours and I love existing in that place 🙂

[spring lava]

how do enemy spawns work is it a certain distance away from player builds?

[frigid gust]

Spawns happen like 40-80m from the player themselves, and there are player base items (see the wiki) like campfires, workbenches, portals, etc. that prevent spawns within 20m of themselves, so you can spawn-proof your base by properly covering an area with their overlapping radiuses

[spring lava]

hell yeah

[hearty niche]

Starred boars have more/larger tusks and are larger in size.

And have slightly different coloring

Different enough I can usually recognize at a distance

[halcyon blade]

That's the normal star amounts, I was talking about spawning them with higher levels than normal using commands.

[hearty niche]

ahhh makes sense

I'm still stuck on my very hard mode. EArlier I thought up bringing ooze bombs to take out the dverger. Last few times the bastards 1-shotted me

I have a portal right next to the ever-growing graveyard that I'm creating in this dverger mining camp

and fortunately I mined into the rock so its a decent cave

I need to get a screenshot, there's like... 8 Meitbual graves. Maybe more.

Each sent to rescue the previous

lol make that 9

Son of a #$%@# and I think he broke the portla

[tepid prawn]

I also tend to build with my terrain instead of planning out beforehand, I do make some plans but I adapt where things go and heights etc all on where I am building

[turbid pollen]

Why does get exposed whenever I'm close to the roof?

-_-

[sweet bay]

too close? Is it really roof or is it floor tiles on top?

[near sky]

I just got the "They were bros, man" raid 😱 😭 Devs how could you

[heady parcel]

I usually start with just a basic shack to get started, then once I'm comfortable I start exploring to find that "perfect spot" that I usually find dozens of, leading to it being impossible to choose. In the end I just ended up tearing down my first little cabin and built a castle at the first site... Then I build smaller FoV:s in some of the other locations, not because I need them but because it's fun.

[undone steeple]

whens the ashlands update gonna come out? i was thinking of playing valheim again, and make anew world, but if thge update needs a new world i gotta wait ?

[dense steppe]

The old world is also suitable for updating if the southern lands have not been explored

[olive sedge]

items got increased stack sizes right?

maybe im just tripping or something like wtf

[dense steppe]

some got an increase

[olive sedge]

is stone at 50 or 75?

[near sky]

fitty

[olive sedge]

what was it before?

[near sky]

fitty

[dense steppe]

How do I know, come and have a look

[olive sedge]

i was playing earlier and i noticed increased sizes, and now my game doesnt have the increased size. just normal

[latent gorge]

Hmmm

[olive sedge]

im on the new 0.217.46 and i could've sworn there was new stack sizes

like wood at 75 same with stone. and sausage being at 30 vs 20

[fair cairn]

you certain its not a mod that stopped working?

though it actually might be increased to that, ahvent played recently

[olive sedge]

🤦‍♂️

Modify maximum item stack size by percent. yeah it was Valheim plus

[undone steeple]

yet they still recommend a serperate new world right?

[heady parcel]

I did something I thought I'd never do - I made a magic staff (and the armour) to try it out. It's not something I'll be using a lot, but burning nightspawned fulings with it was pretty fun... When it comes to foods, is there a general consensus on how to balance it, two eitr foods and one health? Or stamina? I tried with stamina and felt extremely squishy, fulings hit hard so a serious glass cannon warning on that setup..

[dense steppe]

but don't ban the old one

@heady parceluse a force field and skeleton guards, two food for magic, one for stamina to run away

[heady parcel]

I've only made the embers staff so far. The blood staves drain health when casting, right? Can you kill yourself doing that or will it just fail if you are too low?

[dense steppe]

it won't kill you

@heady parcel#screenshots message and health quickly grows back

@heady parcelbefore summoning 4 skelettrons and putting up a shield, I had 101 health, after that it became 36, and is growing quickly

[near furnace]

I thought Valheim+ was abandoned mod 🤔

[olive sedge]

it still works so 🤷‍♂️

[latent gorge]

Should I go for bronze mace or atgeir?

[exotic cradle]

Depends on playstyle, do you wanna 1h or 2h? If you go for mace you'd probably need a shield too

[dense steppe]

I would advise not to waste time on bronze, an ax and a sword will suffice

[latent gorge]

I’ve already got bronze sword and shield to max level already. So you mean my main focus is to rush Bronze Age Asap?

[dense steppe]

as soon as you get iron weapons, you will only need bronze to decorate the walls with it

This is what that cat tells you, that he pumped all the bronze equipment to the maximum level, all

[exotic cradle]

Don't rush anything ^-^ Mace is for blunt damage, good against skeletons but okay against everything else. But if you already have a maxed out sword, I don't think you'd need another bronze weapon. Make sure you have other stuff first, all upgrades, cultivator, etc.

[latent gorge]

🤣👍🏻

Yeah I’m enjoying every moment of the game. Putting lots of effort on base building 😁

[latent gorge]

Oh yeah! Saving Bronze for deco is big! I might need tons of em

[dense steppe]

bronze shields, and weapons look great on walls and furniture

[latent gorge]

Thanks Mr or Ms cat 🐱

[dense steppe]

Mister cat, of course, the problem with English is that the word cat is not divided by gender

[quasi stratus]

Ashland is open, right?

[fair cairn]

if by open you mean in ptb, no

[sour fjord]

ashlan is kil

[latent gorge]

Yup.. but Mister cat sounds more polite 😁

[exotic cradle]

[quasi stratus]

Ok tks

[sour fjord]

do you have to type that out every time or have you got it set up to like a macro or something by now

[exotic cradle]

What do you think ^^

[sour fjord]

i reckon it's the latter. you've also got some impressive patience, i've only seen two people ask that question so far today and I've already got a headache

[exotic cradle]

I'm the ashlands batman, i sense the signal in the sky

[sour fjord]

you're doing Odin's work, that's for sure

[dense steppe]

[timid moon]

does anyone know what the rock thing means when it says beware the "horned one"?

i assume eikthyr but shes like harmless?

[sour fjord]

it's Eikthyr, yeah. From a gameplay standpoint, yes, but to someone who got dropped naked from the field of battle into a brand new unforgiving world, alone, a large moose with antlers like a bushel of spears shooting lightning at you would be somewhat terrifying

[timid moon]

large moose LOL

[half dragon]

never laugh at moose. Those are deadlier than bears

partly because people don't take them seriously

[near furnace]

a bear can't flip a car with it's weight. a moose can 👀

[dense steppe]

A moose can't poop in a car's hatch, a bear can

[half dragon]

must be very fancy toilet

bear does not question where it came from

[heady parcel]

Still would have loved if the deer were swapped for moose in the Black Forest. Bigger, badder and cooler in all ways 😄

[dense steppe]

The most dangerous in the forest is the wild boar, they are very aggressive, due to the fact that they are too shy, and their defensive reaction to attack

More than once I had to climb trees or go into the water when I met wild boars in the forest, they do not like guests

[sour fjord]

so a moose can bear the weight of a car but a bear can't moose the weight of a car

[plush umbra]

R.I.P. old valhiem discord

[half dragon]

From ashes Valheim discord rises!

[sour fjord]

ASHES?

WHEN??? (/jk)

[dense steppe]

@exotic cradle

[exotic cradle]

[exotic cradle]

It's literally the same discord

[plush umbra]

Wait seriously?

[exotic cradle]

Yup

[half dragon]

although, basically everything got nuked and they had to set everything up again

[exotic cradle]

It was back in control within hours and kinda back the next day, just most of the channels got deleted and had to start over, hence the week-long delay

But some of the channels are still here, you can see the dates (like valheim-help)

[plush umbra]

Okay

[thin sonnet]

Yea it didnt change to another discord lmao

[plush umbra]

I thought it did

[exotic cradle]

Nope, all same, all good ^-^

[plush umbra]

They must've had help to get rid of the raid person. Such as discord employee

[exotic cradle]

Discord did fck all sadly, afaik ^-^

[plush umbra]

I've never played in a random valhiem server

[thin sonnet]

Yea me neither. It has mostly just been solo runs for me

[plush umbra]

In my 350 hours of valhiem. Thinking about it

Shield still valid on hardest difficulty

Bow makes it easy

[thin sonnet]

Lol i dont think imma touch on higher difficulties ever haha

Unless if its terraria. That's all fine for me to go high difficulty

[plush umbra]

I played terraria for 500 hours but I never beat it. People left and solo got boring

[near furnace]

we solved it all by ourselves

[plush umbra]

Nice

[exotic cradle]

they had the best cat for the job

[noble bison]

ive been playing with 10 fps yet the game is still enjoyable and i managed to beat game multiple times solo and with different challenges (troll armors only and bronze sword)

i still dont get it why the game needs really good specs to just run at 30 i have i5 9th gen with bad gpu gt 630 but i expected still to run at 30 fps and here i am playing on 10fps

devs should focus on improving perfomance

[half dragon]

performance used to way, way worse

[vocal rivet]

The last patch massively improved performance, and most updates come with some optimisations.

[half dragon]

on this very same laptop that is now 2 years older, the game runs better than 2 years ago

[noble bison]

i can barely notice that xd

[half dragon]

the game had massive performance issues in black forest, now there isn't most of the time

[noble bison]

yup..

[noble bison]

mountains when its snowing 💀

[vocal rivet]

Oh, the Mountains used to be a slideshow.

[half dragon]

that used to be absolute hell on my poor laptop 😂

[noble bison]

xd for me its still doing that

[vocal rivet]

Time to update your PC perhaps then.

[noble bison]

used to stay in cave until it stops snowing 😭

[noble bison]

i do have money but sadly i gotta spend it on something more important than buying new gpu

[vocal rivet]

Valheim is more CPU intensive than GPU so you could focus on that.

The new render scaling options should help too.

[half dragon]

been using steam deck for resource hungry games. Been working out for me and doubles as hand held (I use it primarily like a PC plugged in to screen, mouse, keyboard and all)

the downside being that it mostly focuses of making games run on it and a lot of things that are not games simply do not work

really hoping that windows would get proper competition for non gaming use as well

[clever torrent]

Saw this tweet about Ashlands: ||https://twitter.com/Valheimgame/status/1778744623248122115||

And I came up with a version of Ring of Fire to go with it. Spoilered just in case:
||I had wooden walls by a fire
I was out, out, out
And the walls caught fire
And it ruined my house
The Ashlands fire
The Ashlands fire||

[foggy glacier]

Well done.

[half dragon]

Really like those red carpets. They are a great addition to the game. Unfortunately can't change the color

[fair cairn]

still the same server

nvm

[vocal rivet]

Keep up!

[fair cairn]

a whole hour late 😦

[rapid pivot]

when are we getting ashlands? (I see a lot of updates regarding it)

[exotic cradle]

[rapid pivot]

I have seen that 7 months ago. So I assume nothing got clarified yet.

[merry pebble]

yep

no further info other than "its right round the corner" 😄

[rich ice]

Finally got to try the latest patch last night. Loving the fast load times and increased framerates. 👍

[halcyon blade]

And if they ask again later, say "No, not that corner, the other corner over there!"

[half dragon]

1 corner per day, could be any corner now... well add 30 days for the test, but any day past about 30

[vocal rivet]

Since they announced it, the corner has always been first half of this year, can't imagine that'll change.

[rapid pivot]

does valheim has DLSS and if not, do they plan to implement it?

[fallen zephyr]

Anyone that cuts something in half with the intent of including corners is a monster.

[vocal rivet]

But that's not remotely what I or they meant.

[fallen zephyr]

😇

[placid rapids]

So uhh when is the update going to be released?

[nocturne wolf]

First half of this year

[chilly dune]

How many Black cores do you guys get from your average Infested mine?

[nocturne wolf]

I usually find 0-3?

[chilly dune]

ah oke not so numerous as the normal cores in black forest

[nocturne wolf]

They can be but I never have any luck in this game

[grizzled wing]

You can get really lucky with up to 5, but it's quite inconsistent

[nocturne wolf]

I think I've seen more than 5 before

but it's been a while since I was in mistlands

[rare birch]

Just did a corpse run deep in mistlands. Devgrs mages had killed me. Those guys knew as soon as I got near from pretty far away. Luckily I drug 3 seekers to them and that allowed me to get my stuff back while they were busy

[ember panther]

Welp, after dying to a one-shot from a lox bite and losing all my stuff AGAIM I think I'm done with hard mode. I just wanna enjoy the game

[nocturne harbor]

Carrying a tower shield is handy for that.

[uncut bough]

You let them bite u?

I shoot them from another postal code away and keep firing while backing away

[ember panther]

Was trying to lure them to a tar pit

[uncut bough]

Only when i get blackmetal shield and sword did i start fighting it close range

I have only been bitten twice, all by fighting it close range

[fallen zephyr]

Correct. Black cores are less frequent than Surtling cores.

[uncut bough]

Cuz if i decide to fight it with bow, they are never gonna catch me

[ember panther]

Yeah first time I've been bitten by one this playthrough.. Dunno what the number was but I had over 150 hp

[charred lake]

2 same points to Moder in the same Frost cave.

[fallen zephyr]

Did you expect them to give you different Moder locations?

[frigid gust]

They resist slashing damage, you know... blackmetal atgeir goes brrrr

[frigid gust]

All vegevisirs point to the boss altar that is nearest to their location. They will never point to any others.

[fallen zephyr]

Waaaaiiiit... are you telling me the special attack of the Atgeir also counts as piercing damage?

That circular attack that is great for harvesting barley and flax is a piercing attack?!

[frigid gust]

Ayup. Check the wiki if you want. It staggers lox like no business. I usually do a hunter's bow to get the attention of just one, and when it gets close I switch to the atgeir. Can take down a herd in like, 3 minutes or less.

[chrome orbit]

What do you guys think the strongest weapons will be in Ashlands? In my opinion, the Mistwalker and Staff of frost will be very effective, due to the frost damage and the fact that both are higher damage/Mistlands-tier items

[frigid gust]

Smiffe has confirmed that the Ashlands won't be an "all fire, all the time" affair, and that multiple weapons are going to be feasible

[fallen zephyr]

I'm going to have to assume something was lost in the translation from Old Nordic to modern English, because otherwise this would break my brain.

[chrome orbit]

I know they say that; but I suspect that fire will still end up being a weak damage type there. If it isn't, I do have a Staff of embers built

[fallen zephyr]

@frigid gust You don't find a broadly sweeping attack being classified as 'piercing' over 'slashing' counter intuitive?

[chrome orbit]

I agree this is kind of weird. I do like having multiple damage types, though

[frigid gust]

Wolves do slashing damage with their bites. The secondary attack of swords does slashing as well. It's just how it goes 😉

[chrome orbit]

Which weapons do you guys think will be best in the Ashlands?

[fallen zephyr]

All of this screams of the fallacy of tradition. I clearly need to head back to the wiki, but I hate it.

[frigid gust]

I think it's more that a specific weapon does a consistent type of damage regardless of how it's used.

[chrome orbit]

Would you prefer if different attacks produced different damage types, instead of the damage type being inherited from the weapon?

[fallen zephyr]

I'd prefer that damage types were inherently consistent with the physics of their attack animations.

[frigid gust]

💡

[unique onyx]

well like with a blade you can slash and pierce depending on how you use it and how it's made ... i dunno if a bite would ever be a slash but hey lol

[chrome orbit]

I'm curious how people are preparing. I've actually been prepping by building and fully upgrading every single Mistlands-tier item, which has taken....quite a while 😬

[frigid gust]

that's how I'm doing it 😉 I haven't made a Krom or the Skol and Hati yet, but they've been low priority

[light moat]

Same, think all I need is the staff of frost? Not really interested in the skol/hati or atgeir (forgot the name)

[chrome orbit]

Yeah, so sounds like you'd want the atgeir secondary to be slash, AKA inherited from the attack type.

Then the 1h sword secondary would be piercing, actually

[fallen zephyr]

My mian base is in the meadows, but I've definitely spent time putting a high-end base at the border of Ashlands.

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, that sounds consistent.

[frigid gust]

the Himmnafl is the tits. Lightning damage is unresisted by anything, and it does a ton of stagger. Even a single thrust will stagger a seeker at my current skill levels with it (~40 or so)

[fallen zephyr]

Tits damage is blunt, yes?

[unique onyx]

could be piece depending on the armor and how they weild them

[chrome orbit]

It's really nice, just a little expensive stam-wise to use. Also the SFX are pretty satisfying

[latent wraith]

Tits have sharp beaks and talons so I'd guess piercing.

[chrome orbit]

idk what kind of tits ya'll are encountering

[fallen zephyr]

Let's not get into ornithology.

[frigid gust]

The more you use it the less stamina it takes 😉

And this is why not everyone has gif permissions... 😛

[chrome orbit]

True. I just have one Himminafl upgrade left - it's pretty expensive. Looking forward to upgrading the Black Forge and Galdr Table - I have mats to cap upgrades on a bunch of items

[fallen zephyr]

That comment is the best way to make people click on the GIF link.

[chrome orbit]

Yeah I'm at work, no thanks XD

[frigid gust]

I weighed that before saying anything 😛 It's SFW, but...

[fallen zephyr]

Get back to work! Do you think you're getting paid to spend time on Discord?

[vocal rivet]

I currently am.

[frigid gust]

I'm at work too! But I work from home so there ain't nobody to complain looking over my shoulder at my personal machine 😛

[chrome orbit]

Haha I'm actually waiting on a teammate to merge my last pull request. And hey, it's Friday 😉

[frigid gust]

Sorry, you didn't use the correct variable naming conventions. Denied.

[chrome orbit]

D:

[odd helm]

Yeah nah, not having that

[unique onyx]

lol

someone skips chat context to delete messages

[fallen zephyr]

Would you prefer the chicken? Our sincerest apologies.

[fallen zephyr]

I suppose if you're going to get pulled, it'll happen on a Friday.

...Hey gang, How about that Karve?! It's so maneuverable!

[chrome orbit]

it is! I would use it over the longship if it had the same storage and speed

[frigid gust]

Longboat is plenty maneuverable, just gotta learn where it pivots 😉

[chrome orbit]

IMO, black cores are too rare in the Mistlands. I actually had to scour two huge Mistlands just to get enough for my current run. What do you guys think?

[unique onyx]

did you try plugging your map into the viewer to see if you just missed a bunch of dungeons?

[crude pendant]

ello anyone have a good food combination for farming some juicy copper xD? im already at mistlands but i need enormous amount of copper now

[fallen zephyr]

Pro tip: Drive vehicles in GTA 5 before you try and pilot Longboats in Valheim.

[chrome orbit]

I did - I didn't miss any

[nocturne wolf]

At least you got a ton of resources killing things

[unique onyx]

try another mistlands then sounds like a bad spot

[frigid gust]

You need the dvergr key pieces anyway, I think they're just about right. You can swap between different structures from the cores if you need to, until you have enough for them all at the same time

[chrome orbit]

It was huge...I think I did about 10 Mistlands dungeons before I had enough black cores to build everything

I've seen people with the same experience on Reddit, but maybe I just got unlucky, too. I know the dungeon size was recently adjusted, maybe that helps

[chrome orbit]

I ended up with a huge excess of those

[unique onyx]

oh i dunno except building i haven't played in months haha

[chrome orbit]

True, I have PLENTY of carapaces, seeker meat, and even mandibles

[frigid gust]

You didn't go through those dungeons in the PTB release at all, did you?

[fallen zephyr]

Sounds to me that you expect life to be fair. It's not, accept it.

[chrome orbit]

No, I only play unmodded and on fully released patches

[frigid gust]

And of course you're aware of the "hidden" doors and opened those

[fallen zephyr]

You mean the hidden doors with unmistakably glowing runes on them? 😛

[unique onyx]

that and the wooden ones you break through i imagine

[frigid gust]

Yeah, sounds like you just didn't sacrifice enough chickens to RNGesus

[half dragon]

does give the "silent alarm activated!!!!" vibes

[fallen zephyr]

Bring it. I'd rather deal with seekers & ticks on the flat of the entry corridor than mess with circular stair-wells and stamina-draining doorway-blockers.

[frigid gust]

That's what the Demolisher and ooze bombs are for

Or fireballs...

[limber vale]

goodness playing on my very first world and im disgusted with how much stone i wasted to make a "tower"

[fallen zephyr]

💡 Put a 'Helm's Deep' style horn at the entrance of every Infested Mine that just draws all the dungeon enemies to the horn.

[fallen zephyr]

You wasted it?

[limber vale]

in a way yes its a gross hollow tower supported by trees

[fallen zephyr]

Success teaches us nothing. We learn from failure.

[hardy wagon]

ashlands soon? :d

[frigid gust]

I believe this is your cue @exotic cradle

[frigid gust]

There will be a PTB period for Ashlands, so if you're really champing at the bit and don't mind possible bugs, you can go to id:customize and add yourself as a public tester so you can get notified when that hits

[buoyant lake]

No more bugs, that was mistlands

[charred lake]

Actually no, but why not? I kill she already

[frigid gust]

Speaking of which, I have counted 4 on the character select screen. I don't think there are any others 😛

[fallen zephyr]

It's proximity-based. There's maybe 5-6 locations for each of the bosses across the entire map and the vesvigirs alwys point to the closest one.

[frigid gust]

Each boss has a different set number of altars. I think the Queen is 6, Elder is 4, Eikthyr is 3, etc.

[chrome orbit]

I'm not gonna lie - I'm tempted to jump into the Ashlands via the PTB. It would also be helping Iron Gate squash bugs & glitches. But, it's probably best to wait.

[buoyant lake]

Given how much polishing they’ve done my guess is it’ll be mostly balance

So it’ll either be too hard or too easy for the community like mistlands was 😂. I loved first release mistlands. Insta death was hilarious

[frigid gust]

I think they learned from that and will have it more dialed in 😉

[buoyant lake]

I think they added difficulty settings and shouldn’t give af if people say it’s too hard

[fallen zephyr]

Hilarity is not quite as much the attraction when the mechanical impact of death is to have you hard-earned Fishing skill drop from 80 to 76; that's a hard grind back.

[frigid gust]

Sure. But in general it shouldn't be a huge jump, it should be a progression from the Mistlands.

[chrome orbit]

Based on the discussions they released with the devs, it'll be the hardest biome yet

[light moat]

I didn’t experience mistlands before the tweaking, but I do know that high damage doesn’t equal difficulty. Or at least, not good difficulty.

[exotic cradle]

[fallen zephyr]

I get the impression that Mistlands varied in difficulty dependant on players' play style. If you were stamina-reliant, Mistlands was brutal, for example.

[light moat]

Wish I could’ve experienced it before the balancing, just so I could’ve formed my own opinion- would’ve been fun!

[frigid gust]

Well, if you don't manage it sanely it still is. I think that's a lot of people's issues with it, they run everywhere instead of walking.

[light moat]

Yeah, I appreciate that part of the mistlands- I like when difficulty is more about the player paying attention and getting punished for lack of preparation for example.

[frigid gust]

Honestly, after spending a fair bit of time in the mist-cleared area by my new base, I have a new appreciation for the mist. The Mistlands just aren't that dangerous without it.

[fallen zephyr]

I don't care what the balancing was, I hate Mistlands. Every other biome introduced a reasonable number of challenges. Then, all of a sudden, I can't see, the terrain makes attacking anything a chore (both through stamina and the lack of vertical hit-boxes), and the majority of your enemies can navigate the terrain better that you. Seeker hit range is inexplicably longer than player hit range. Gjall can see you in the mist before you can see them. There's more, but rant over.

[frigid gust]

Gjall can't see you if you don't have your wisplight enabled 😛

[strange arrow]

almost like it was designed to be difficult

[fallen zephyr]

It's artifically difficult. It's clearly a biome designed to slow player progress while the devs work on the next stage.

[strange arrow]

for me it's a brave move to cover a brand new place you spent ages working on in a mist you can't see it in, i hated it on Faxanadu, it's not much better in this game xD but at least it has purpose

[frigid gust]

Huh. I haven't really found it that difficult. I mean, it's harder than the Plains for sure, but it's nowhere near insurmountable, at least on normal difficulty for a mid-40s oldster 😛

[light moat]

I think it’s difficult, but I don’t find it to be artificial. You just have to very cautious and think about every move you make.

[strange arrow]

some of it is defo artificial

but it can be forgiven because it's intended

[fallen zephyr]

I'm not saying it's insurmountable. I have several bases in The Mistlands, and all I'm really doing in leui of the Ashlands release is exploring Mistlands. My point is that, as a game, the previous biomes established a difficulty curve, and an expectation; then Mistlands flipped players the middle finger.

[light moat]

The starred enemies do some crazy damage!

[unique onyx]

they mentioned ashlands would be harder, i think it's intended if it works out that way

[light moat]

I hope Ashlands enemies are difficult in a sense of advanced movesets and maybe even some defensive options.

[frigid gust]

Lots of people feel the same way about the Swamps. I honestly don't think it's anything absurd. I like that even after "conquering" it I still have a feeling of fear there at night.

I'm just anticipating that the Mistlands will feel like the Plains does now after entering and establishing a foothold in the Ashlands

[lusty crescent]

I would love some cool movesets

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, for sure! Make us negotiate new enemy mechanics, new magic spells, etc. Just don't be so lazy as to make the biome hard because I've used most of my stamina traversing some crystalline nightmare just in time to encounter a seeker soldier.

[frigid gust]

Yeah... that's the stamina management piece. Plus magic turns that on it's head, there's no stamina used to fire the spells so it becomes a completely different playstyle.

[kind pendant]

I like how enemies attacks are different, obviously what makes it unique and not boring, and I’m hoping the ashlands will have a lot to introduce

And I hope we can get eitr without having to eat so much foods

[frigid gust]

I tell you what, the Mistlands really captured the feeling of a Palmetto bug coming right at you 😛

[kind pendant]

Mistlands are honestly perfect. As a pretty experienced gamer, it is definitely hard, but not difficult or impossible

[strange arrow]

well not quite perfect, some wastage in the POI's but that's small pickings

[kind pendant]

But it’s also beautiful, very unique from biomes, such as the boss biome (ofc) the new mines “dungeons” and how you have to get some items to progress

[fallen zephyr]

What's the difference between hard and difficult?

[kind pendant]

And dvergr outposts vary in looks too

[buoyant lake]

I mean I feel like mistlands was a massive leap in difficulty from plains

[kind pendant]

Difficult would be hrd to progress with problems along the way, hard is manageable with a few problems.

[kind pendant]

Definitely was

[buoyant lake]

I expect Ashlands to be a similar leap in ways we don’t anticipate

[strange arrow]

indeed

[frigid gust]

I like that it feels like the gameplay I had to figure out to manage the Mistlands is applicable to the rest of the game, and has made all the other biomes almost easy mode.

[buoyant lake]

We haven’t had a biome where the terrain itself is actively trying to kill you on top of the mobs

[strange arrow]

for me Swamp gets a 5/10 difficulty leap, and Mistlands like 8/10

[kind pendant]

I feel like a small step in difficulty at this level would be bad & boring, so Ashland’s will 100% be a big leap in difficulty too.

[frigid gust]

Sealed Tower is the closest we have so far

[strange arrow]

if Ashlands hits 9/10 it's perfect

[buoyant lake]

Makes me feel like the deep north will just have a random lightning bolt that insta kills you for no reason lmao

[frigid gust]

"Thor was bored"

[kind pendant]

Now that you mention it, it’s very much possible 😂

[buoyant lake]

Listen, if you have a character who has great skill levels that you love. Don’t bring it to Ashlands.

[fair cairn]

thor thought it would be fun

[kind pendant]

I feel like deep north will maybe have a stronger frost effect, so maybe we’ll need frost resistance twice as much maybe. Unlikely now that I say it, but think about it

[buoyant lake]

My guess is it’ll have a frost effect you can’t do anything about

[unique onyx]

we'll need to bring lox to survive at night and they'll smell worse on the inside

[strange arrow]

viking turned snowdrift

[chrome orbit]

I'm ngl - after playing through it myself and seeing many reactions on Reddit, it does seem like the Mistlands was overtuned. I wonder if nerfing its difficulty would increase the overall health of the game

[kind pendant]

I’m thinking polar bears will come to deep north, then we’ll need their hide to make new armor, or something like that with another enemy

[buoyant lake]

The only place you can survive in deep north will be a train you have to jump on that circles the biome

[frigid gust]

It was already nerfed 😛

[lusty crescent]

I would like some polar bears

[chrome orbit]

For one, I think the feather cape should be craftable much sooner

[lusty crescent]

Or like just huge bears

[kind pendant]

Absolutely. As of the fact that polar bears are so powerful and all, and big in real life too, i feel like it would make sense for them to have 1.5k hp-2k hp

[lusty crescent]

Like elden ring rune bear type shi

[kind pendant]

With 200 slash damage 😛

[lusty crescent]

I just want harder enemies

[frigid gust]

Naah. Feather cape makes the Mistlands traversal trivial. I ran a couple loads of blackmetal like 2km in a day with it, in just fenris with a root chest, HSS food. I think it's really balanced amazingly well all things considered.

[fallen zephyr]

I don't think you guys realise how far above the mean of the normal curve of Valheim players you are. Apart from the occasional obvious question from new players that needs a simple redirection, the vast majority of the Discord server are all (at the very least) beyond the first standard deviation above the mean. It's pretty reasonable to presume at least 67% of players are less skilled than everyone in this channel.

[kind pendant]

Actually the fact that deep north is the last biome, polar bear would have a base hp of 2k-2.5k

[lusty crescent]

B-b-b-buh big bear😭

You're probably right tho

Bro the middle finger? It's over.

[frigid gust]

That's why it's billed as a brutal survival game, and there are now difficulty sliders 😉

[buoyant lake]

I think there’s people who like to build and don’t learn the mechanics, and people who like adventure and the mechanics.

And a smaller group like me who do both

[strange arrow]

i always advocate strongly for the casual player

[kind pendant]

Idk how people do hardcore no map no portal 0.5x rescource at the hardest mode. i can’t even.

[buoyant lake]

The casual player has been given difficulty levels to make their life easier. And even I play on 3x now because I have a life

[frigid gust]

I can see it, but I don't have that kinda gaming time...

[kind pendant]

If a boar can one shot me in the beginning I’m kinda good.

[lusty crescent]

No map would be too much for me
No portals just too time consuming
But i see why they do it

[kind pendant]

Same, the grind needed for it is absurd

[buoyant lake]

I like no map a lot

[kind pendant]

Absolutely, I can’t imagine how I can do no portal and no map

[buoyant lake]

It just takes time

[lusty crescent]

Ig you could draw your own but unless you're like a valheim fanatic idk about that

[buoyant lake]

And a piece of paper to draw your map on haha

[crude pendant]

a question the ore deposits didnt collabsed when i digged all around it and under it did they change it or no??

[lusty crescent]

Which ore

[fallen zephyr]

Anyhoo. I tried. Night all! Have a great weekend.

[strange arrow]

no change

[lusty crescent]

Audios(adios)

[buoyant lake]

It’s actually not that hard. You use the workbench as a compass and you get a massive sheet of paper on a table behind your computer desk then a little ship toy to place on the paper to mark your position and you draw the landmasses you see as you sail by against the position of the compass

[lusty crescent]

That involves real world effort

[buoyant lake]

You’d be surprised how easily you navigate once you have a rough idea what things look like

[crude pendant]

ty

[strange arrow]

the hitboxes are large, anything connected to an underground piece needs mining out more (since it's classed as receiving support)

(you can't check this as they are invisible unfortunately)

(both the hitboxes and the underground pieces past the dig limit)

best practice is to take out the lowest hanging pieces when you've got that far, it will pop eventually

[plush umbra]

is this game worth buying

[nocturne harbor]

Depends who's buying.

[half dragon]

There are very discord servers for games that wouldn't just straight up say "yes" and not elaborate

[fair cairn]

no bears will be added iirc thats what the devs said

[chrome orbit]

Don't want to overhype it for you, but IMO Valheim is one of the best games ever made

[vocal rivet]

That's pretty hype.

[half dragon]

Tends to be already full of people that like the game, but would you like the game? If you like building, if you enjoy adventuring and you enjoy combat that doesn't hold your hand, very likely yes

[chrome orbit]

It's best with friends, I recommend starting off with a 2-4 person crew

[half dragon]

It's not dark souls kind of hard, but still more challenging than most games these days

[frigid gust]

If you like building, solid combat, and preparation leading to success, yes. It's very much a game that rewards preparation and planning and harshly punishes going in half-cocked.

[vocal rivet]

Eh, disagree.

[chrome orbit]

To each his own. I play both solo and with friends. My friends lost interest when we ran out of new content - they'll be back for Ashlands

[half dragon]

meanwhile a friend of mine hasn't touched it yet becuase he's afraid of early access

there's people out there that refuse to buy early access games no matter what

[chrome orbit]

D: it'll be a while for him, then. Isn't Iron Gate's plan to be early access until the Deep North is released?

[half dragon]

yup... the game is already well worth the price, was even 2 years ago

same happened with DRG. I played it early on, noticed it's really damn good, recommended it to that same friend and... never played it. Now years later it came out of early access and wonders why I didn't recommend it earlier 💀

[vocal rivet]

Nothing wrong with that. A large number do eventually amount to nothing.

[vocal rivet]

Until the game is finished, yes.

[unique onyx]

some do it by design too after charging for expansions and stuff

[half dragon]

there's massive difference between a promising game and a game that is already good

seen only 1 or 2 games that completely ruined a good game in early access

[vocal rivet]

The survival genre is rife with it.

[empty elk]

Nice addition with the fire spreading IG! How will vikings deal with putting out fires though?

[half dragon]

buldings on fire?

[empty elk]

which ones?

[strange arrow]

not on my watch 😇

[half dragon]

was asking if it's building on fire when you mentioned fire spreading

[vocal rivet]

Yes.

[empty elk]

yes, definetly not seagulls on fire!

[half dragon]

could have been just a forest

[empty elk]

that would also be cool but I don't see them doing that

[strange arrow]

maybe that's what happens if you leave a fire in forest now too

[empty elk]

i just need a picture of a viking handling a fire hose

[unique onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/power-viking-brawler-bit-playas-fire-shooting-gif-21922468

[strange arrow]

but it was a building we got shown

[unique onyx]

imagine that was water

[empty elk]

too much pixels, can't handle that, sorry

[half dragon]

if buildings start being at risk of burning down because of a misplaced campfire or something like that, or other similar accidents, this discord will become quite massive salt mine

[empty elk]

well. the logic until now is "valheim is a game meant to be played with friends" everytime server chars or anti cheat is talked about, so...

[unique onyx]

the building screenshot channel will definately need to be renamed

[strange arrow]

"charred remains exhibit"

[empty elk]

everytime a raven lands on a building, Odin is baiting you

[strange arrow]

"the Ash pile"

[sour fjord]

imo valheim is a game that's best* on its own AND/OR* played with friends - having people along for the ride definitely makes certain things easier, and a good crew is always fun to play with, but doing it all on your own has its own merits, rewards, and boons. only got to worry about one person for sneaking, only got to worry about one set of equipment, you always get to pick where you wanna go, what you wanna do etc.

[half dragon]

it would be hilarious if you manage to protect your base from your enemies, but not from yourself

currently probably the worst thing you can do to your own building is delete that 1 piece supporting large portion of your building without thinking

or multiple of them since there is that nice 1 second delay to start that chain reaction

[chrome orbit]

Do you guys think the wood burning feature will be triggerable outside of the Ashlands?

[empty elk]

good point, probably not considering their wording "In the Ashlands...."

[half dragon]

OHHHH, ohhh... HAHA. I think I know what will happen to some people

[drowsy magnet]

https://twitter.com/Valheimgame/status/1778748480057688249

Only in the Ashlands per default! But if you should desire some more chaos, there'll be a setting for that 🔥

[chrome orbit]

I wonder how we'll protect the workbench, then? Or will the workbench be non-flammable?

[half dragon]

you know how most people who's up to date on that update would move their stuff from Ashlands if for some reason have made a base there? Well... a lot of people don't bother to keep up with the news. Imagine when somebody logs in to their Ashlands base that was made before that change

[empty elk]

current builds on ashlands will most likely be destroyed on loading ashlands update

[half dragon]

the burning will ensure there's nothing left if it somehow survives

[chrome orbit]

I thought that explored Ashlands would remain the same, only unexplored Ashlands would be populated with the actual biome

I guess wooden builds will just burn down, potentially

[empty elk]

biome distribution of ashlands will change, that includes height and stuff. my guess is builds will be mostly destroyed or even yeeted from existance

[chrome orbit]

lol RIP

[half dragon]

even stuff near the edge of ashlands since it will be completely disconnected from rest of the map, no more ashlands land bridge from a safer biome

I wonder if our ships survive landing there...

[chrome orbit]

Damn, good point. Or what about portals? They're wooden, too!

[strange arrow]

portal not mounted on stone/marble? 🔥

[chrome orbit]

Imagine landing and being disconnected from everything you've built and gathered thus far in the game

[half dragon]

Maybe, can't wait to see what challenges await in ashlands

[drowsy magnet]

I'm looking forward to seeing my base catch fire because lightning hit my roof, if thats how it work

[ornate sentinel]

Can you imagine a seed where you have a contiguous line from north to south, connecting both the far north and the ashlands, and then you have to get to the stone age before everything you can build is put to flames?

[chrome orbit]

lol, like a world-scale fuse

[half dragon]

ashlands update will make it so that can never happen

since ashlands will be surrounded by an ocean 100% of the time, no land bridges

[strange arrow]

make it so

[ornate sentinel]

But what if we changed the settings 🤔

[half dragon]

there's currently no world settings for generation?

I'd like to see some world generation settings implemented after north update

[ornate sentinel]

I know, but the mental image of it all still inspires me to dream.

[strange arrow]

engage

[half dragon]

no ocean for example, would offer own kind of challenge. transporting stuff by the ocean is far more convenient than cart

as long as the wind wills it...

[strange arrow]

Ocean life:

[ornate sentinel]

But what if you attached a sail to the cart and then -

[strange arrow]

where would all the serpents go

[ornate sentinel]

Hear me out...

[strange arrow]

and what would populate the Ocean bed? i can't see the devs custom making a workable biome out of it

[ornate sentinel]

Dune Worms, but Valheim

[half dragon]

desert instead of ocean

[strange arrow]

Atlantis was down there all along

[ornate sentinel]

Also, I just discovered today just how much more difficult the very hard mode is for combat.

[strange arrow]

if the devs were to give that option they'd be obligated to fill it like all the other biomes

otherwise top complaint would be: why is the desert biome empty?

[half dragon]

why is desert a desert?

[strange arrow]

pointless to have a completely empty area

[half dragon]

that's basically what an ocean is already

[strange arrow]

Ocean hasn't been fully completed yet, and already has levi's, serpents, and soon bonemaw serpents also

and fish

[heady parcel]

For Hel's sake I did it again. Sailed all the way to hildir and realised I forgot to bring gold only upon arrival

[pliant hatch]

I hope you're not doing a "no portal" run either.....

[heady parcel]

On this world, yes...

[sand bramble]

time to make another base lol

[pliant hatch]

Guess that means you need to do a "Rod Steward". 😄

[heady parcel]

I do love sailing in Valheim, really, so I don't mind much normally, but ffs I had plans tonight haha

[sand bramble]

go back a world save!

[heady parcel]

Ah well, could drop off the fuling's chest so it wasn't for naught

[pliant hatch]

Ah, but you forgot the hidden game setting #1:

If the player has plans, let the Sadistic Number Generator mess those up and have him / her doing something else.

[heady parcel]

I think I'll just keep sailing into the grey areas and see what I find

[pliant hatch]

That's how I explored the BF near Haldor and the Swamp with Bonemass spawn I encountered the past two days.
My plan was to set up a small portal base near those two locations and extract iron.

Turned out I was fighting a 2** troll, boar and neck, a whole load of 1* skeletons and draugrs archers and regular fighters, multiple Draugr Elite, some ghosts, a wraith, two abominations, countless skeletons, leeches and blobs.
And up to now I only got ONE iron scrap which dropped from an Oozer.......

But the exploration was fun though.
And I do have the "luck" of being able to use portals. 🙂

[heady parcel]

Now, a bit of feedback to our venerable dev team - Hildir could have been a much more rewarding thing if, in addition to the peasant clothes, she'd do recolouring or even cosmetic rashaping of your gear. For example - I love the look of the iron set while the carapace armor looks pretty meh to me, I'd love to just make my carapace look like an iron set. Or turn that ugly blackmetal sword into a sweet silver blade, etc etc. It's been said before so I won't be pestering the suggestions channel with it again. Just sayin'

[buoyant lake]

I don’t think changing the color of things is in their vision. They want the game to look mostly cohesive-so they’d have to limit the colors a lot to keep the game not feeling like palworld

[heady parcel]

Yeah, I was thinking available colours would be what you can already find in the game, to not break the spell kinda

[sand bramble]

grungy colors.

[heady parcel]

I might actually use the troll set if I could dye it grey or brown. I actually like the look of the leather set, but you never ever wear that except a few wee hours when you're a newb

[half dragon]

something wrong with looking like a smurf?

[pliant hatch]

Guess that depends at the kind of smurf you look after.
I s'pose @exotic cradle doesn't want to look like Papa Smurf, just like I won't like to look like Smurfette......

[low crypt]

hey whats a good way to hunt for drakes so you can get freeze glands?

[exotic cradle]

..what

[latent wraith]

Shoot arrows at them.

[low crypt]

i mean i know that, is there a good way to find them other than just exploring the mountains tho

[pliant hatch]

This:

Spugelo - Atgeir gang — vandaag om 21:29
something wrong with looking like a smurf?

[exotic cradle]

But why tag me D:?

[pliant hatch]

Because I doubt you like it to look like Papa Smurf.

[exotic cradle]

..what it

[wide zodiac]

I just killed moder for the first time and i think he was the easiest boss to beat lol. He just stood and stared at me while i bonked him with my iron mace

[fair cairn]

moder be a she, FYI

[merry pebble]

yeah, she is quite often bugged 😄

[light moat]

Well done I suppose! A win is a win!

[ember panther]

I tried running away from her cause my bow broke and she chased me all the way to meadows and got all glitchy. So I finished her with an iron axe

[dusky basalt]

Just had a facepalm moment. While you cant teleport metals, are there problems with getting an inventory full of iron then logging out and going from your iron mining world to your main one which brings you back to where you last were(your base)?

[merry pebble]

the classic strategy called world hoping, before the hildir update that brought world modifiers it was quite popular way to transport metals without using a boat

[light moat]

Yeah, it was a pretty popular work-around before modifiers.

[spiral mica]

Sorry have question is stone buildings are last ones you can unlock or there is something more without dlc

[merry pebble]

there will be more 😄 just progress further

[pliant hatch]

There is a new material in Mistlands and we'll get more in Ashlands.

[spiral mica]

@pliant hatch @merry pebble thank you..

[plush solar]

Dw there’s no dlc you need to buy

I think the only “dlc” is the soundtrack on steam

[sour fjord]

I just noticed your name, and I gotta ask how

[merry pebble]

jump 😄 and punch

[fair cairn]

the only DLC rtn is the closed beta one that the closed beta participants got

[sour fjord]

in the mountains? gonna have to have "dream on" playing in the background

[spiral mica]

Welp i just checked it was something Odin cape related not sure so I was just wondering

[crude yacht]

what DLC did the closed beta participants get?

[pliant hatch]

More likely Jump by VanHalen or Jump by the Pointer Sisters....

[fair cairn]

what Deimis said

[regal spoke]

Jump around - House of Pain

[sour fjord]

nah, i'd been falling off lol. can't count the number of times i've lost my spear throwing it at drakes

[fair cairn]

thats very..... unsmart

[pliant hatch]

Get that cape from Mistlands and you'll put "One day I'll fly away" on repeat. 😄

[sour fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-birthday-gif-27707596

[fair cairn]

throwing your spear at flying enemies is a pretty good way of losing a spear

[sour fjord]

you'd think i'd have learned after the first dozen times

[pliant hatch]

And in case you miss-jump: Gloria Gainor's "I will survive".

[fair cairn]

especially on a mountain

[wide zodiac]

is the porcupine club a good weapon?

[fair cairn]

idd guess its not bad cause its a mace and maces are generally not bad

[wide zodiac]

is frostner better then?

[light moat]

Mmm not really 😅 Frostner is better imo

[fair cairn]

yea, frostner just OP

unless its against a golem, then its just very long to kill one

[pliant hatch]

Porcupine is a good combination of blunt and pierce damage; but Frostner will outclass it, simply because of the combination of frost and spirit damage.

[dusky basalt]

I saw on the wiki that the sea serpent only spawns in night or rain with x2 chance in both. Yet I mostly see them in the middle of the day. Is the wiki wrong?

[fair cairn]

also, i misspelled unnecessarily so badly that discord didnt even know what word it was but knew it was spelled wrong

[fair cairn]

serpents stay after a storm spawned them

[pliant hatch]

Nope.

The ones spawning at nights disappear, the ones spawning in a storm will remain at daytime.

[chrome orbit]

I almost prefer Frostner over the Mistwalker because of the knockback. It really helps you avoid taking damage

[unique fossil]

anyone wanna chat up in meadows glade?

im just building rn

[hoary rapids]

hey everyone

[shadow heath]

minding your own business on a mountain is the best way to attract them

[dire remnant]

man i'd love a steam points shop for some cool profile backgrounds

[shadow heath]

maybe once the devs officially release Valheim they’ll add themed profile customizations (and achievements🤞)

[frigid gust]

That's the plan. They don't want to add them until 1.0, that way everyone starts on an even level (and they have some stats about what people do most/least in the game, too)

[uncut bough]

man i wish they add more soft tissue sources

i am running around mistland like headless chicken because i jsut cant get enough soft tissue

[shadow heath]

same

[uncut bough]

i think as of now i only got 46 soft tissues

all of it i turned to eitr and made weapons with it, and i still need more

[azure yacht]

Giving more sources of something doesn't necessarily mean you'll find it faster

Iron has multiple sources and still remains a tedious metal to get

[shadow heath]

once you find a chain of 12-15 crypts you’ll be set

[azure yacht]

Same as copper, and even more the main source of copper is highly abundant, even small bf could have at least several

[frigid gust]

I'm actually off to find more iron as we speak...

[unique onyx]

just depends where you land, once you find a chain of 12-15 skulls you'll be set, lol

[azure yacht]

A single skull should give you 50-60 soft tissue

Two or three more should get you all eitr gear + most if not all upgrades.

It's another story if you use it for building (like ballistas) tho

[uncut bough]

sure but maybe increase the frequency of soft tissue, like maybe more skulls in an area, instead of increasing the maximum cap then

i am in bargain phase of 5 stages of emotion, yknow, any improvement that influences soft tissue drop rate is fine by me

[timid moon]

im probably going to look real stupid for this but i gotta ask

are there krakens in the game or is it a mod ?

[uncut bough]

no kraken, only sea serpent

....so far

[timid moon]

i was looking at images of leviathans and saw it and it looked so cool 😭

[uncut bough]

well there is leviathan, only that it is passive creatures

[azure yacht]

If I were to choose a way to "fix" that issue, it would be by making each node drop at least one soft tissue.

Sometimes you mine one or two and get none.

Honestly all node-based resources should be like that...

Especially iron

Morning

[tulip patrol]

the biggest mistlands grind is going around scouring the mist for for untouched skulls to get enough flesh to get like 6-7+ ,more stacks of tissue so you can upgrade mistlands gear once that 4th upgrade station finally drops. needing 24 for the level 4 staves will not be fun. to find enough skulls for that

[foggy glacier]

very true. I love hearing that poof when the raven pops into existence in the mist.

[paper marsh]

Get a bit extra for potential Ashlands recipes 😄

I feel like ||lvl 4 staff of protect and fire staff aren’t worth it much tho||

[spiral compass]

ooze bomb > fuling village

[burnt star]

Will we get lvl 4 mistlands items by ashalnds release?

[odd helm]

More than likely, yes

We just got new crafting stations in the Mistlands, getting more upgrades for them in the next biome is pretty expected

[burnt star]

In the next biome? Every biome up until now we've been able to upgrade all gear from that biome to lvl 4 without resources from the biome after.

Are you saying we'll need ashlands resources to upgrade the galdr table and black forge to it's final level?

Thanks for responding btw, please don't mistake my surprise for rudeness ❤️

[shy marlin]

You need to go to the swamp or another higher biome to get quality 4 bronze gear sooo

[burnt star]

Wait really?

[shy marlin]

Yep

[burnt star]

I've been in mistlands so long I haven't played black forest in ages lol

[shy marlin]

There's only 2 bronze age forge upgrades and in order to get quality 4 bronze weapons you need a third forge upgrade

[burnt star]

Well!

[shy marlin]

Which usually comes from chains or the stonecutter, as they are the cheapest option, but they are both swamp tier progression upgrades

[burnt star]

Fair enough!

4/5 of the first 5 biomes can fully upgrade their gear in biome then.

Or am I wrong about that too?

[shy marlin]

I mean, can't fully upgrade troll armor and root armor in the biome you originally obtain them in, same goes for capes but ye

Capes are kinda a write off tho cause they're only 1 armor per upgrade

[burnt star]

Fair

[shy marlin]

But ye the big one is just bronze tools not being able to be fully upgraded in the age you get them originally, as it's the best comparison to the mistlands items

[burnt star]

So all of black forest gear, some of the swamp gear

[unique onyx]

you can't upgrade all the meadows stuff to full right away either

[burnt star]

Huh

Well

I was SUPER wrong about that lol

Now I'm curious if any of the biome's gear can be fully upgraded before the subsequent biome.

Plains yes at least.
