Plains and mountain?

[unique onyx]

it seems to be based mostly off of what bench you're making things from more than what biome you see items in

[odd helm]

I believe it's at mountains where you get the last upgrade for workbench, I think the forge maxes out at swamps or mountains. So it's after that that you get to upgrade stuff fully as soon as you make it.

[burnt star]

Got it

[odd helm]

Until you get to Mistlands and get new crafting stations, of course~

[burnt star]

So Mountain and Mistlands you can fully upgrade the gear you get before moving to the next biome.

But Meadows, Black Forest, Swamp, and Mistlands(currently) you cannot.

And all the biomes where you cannot have new crafting stations introduced, which actually makes it seem more likely that we'll need some sort of ashlands resource for the next crafting station upgrade.

[unique onyx]

hard to say till it's done, if you look at forge upgrades most of those are available pretty quickly after unlocking the forge itself

[burnt star]

We'll just have to wait and see. We got the 2nd crafting station upgrades for the black forge and galdr table kinda out of the blue, maybe we'll get another before ashlands release

My tribe is putting together all the resources we need to fully upgrade mistlands gear to lvl 4 as soon as we have the stations

[odd helm]

I feel like we got those upgrades after a long time of people complaining about their tiers~

[unique onyx]

no idea i started playing when plains was already out lol

[sour fjord]

eugh... just saw the inside of a troll's face and it was horrifying. scarier than anything else i've seen in this game by far

[crude yacht]

Yeah, they really need to fix the camera clipping into objects. Either make the object transparent, or don't allow the camera to clip into it.

[timid moon]

i just walked into plains without realising and had a mini heart attack 😭 havent even fought the elder yet

[crude yacht]

Did you survive?

[timid moon]

yeah but it was night time and like a billion fulings 😭 i found shelter in a stone tower in the black forest kjdsjkjsdksj

[crude yacht]

Any one you walk away from...a win.

[sour fjord]

hell, if it's one you sprint away from, a bigger win, because you've learned something along the way

[timid moon]

i wonder if i can sneak in and grab some cloudberries

mind you i just died from a leech

[crude yacht]

Build a bed and run naked...

[timid moon]

intelligent

[crude yacht]

Depending on your death penalties, you can probably keep your armor and a weapon.

[sour fjord]

take absolutely nothing except a small amount of stamina food like other berries, with a nearby bed, and eikthyr's power
should give you enough speed and stamina to outrun/dodge everything

[timid moon]

NSAAHHH I FORGOT ABOUT THE MOZZIES

PLUS THERES A FULING VILLAGE

RUNNING AWAY KJSKSJD

...

mosquito got me

[crude yacht]

heh heh...welcome to Valheim. 😋

The mosquitoes require pinpoint accuracy...because they hit HARD.

[timid moon]

time for the run of shame

[timid moon]

i have maxed out troll armor, had about 120ish health, it one shot me

[crude yacht]

Gotta use the shield.

Also...pierce resistance...but yeah, troll armor is a bit squishy.

[sour fjord]

yeah, troll armour's best defense agains mozzies is not being seen, after that you gotta bolt or you're ice'd

[crude yacht]

Helps to provide it some fodder...like greydwarfs, boars or deer.

[wide zodiac]

i got 60 armor + root chest piece and they barely do any damage to me now

[crude yacht]

Yeah, when you have the chest armor and a shield they become trivial.

[sour fjord]

why root chest?

[crude yacht]

Root Harnesk has pierce resistance.

You'll get it in the swamp.

[sour fjord]

ooooooooooo yeah. No, I have it, I just forgot. I fight mozzies by timing the parry or dodging tbh. my mindset in combat is to fight like i've got 1hp at all times, and hope I never actually do

[crude yacht]

This is probably a good policy. THe best way to not take damage...don't get hit.

[timid moon]

oh my god i got my stuff back but im literally shaking

[crude yacht]

Congratulations on getting your stuff back. Please remember, it's just a game.

I think the biggest learning curve for my friends was to learn to not spam attack everything. Sooo many deaths because they ran out of stamina and just stood there being beaten to death.

Use the shield...use it!

[timid moon]

ive got a really bad anxiety disorder so i get nervous over dumb stuff 😭

had to log out and touch grass to calm down LOL

[crude yacht]

I get it...my heart gets thumping sometimes...most notably during boss fights in Dark Souls like games. Sometimes I too need to take a break to calm myself back down.

Reminding myself it's just a game helps me...I didn't mean any offense with it.

[timid moon]

nono its okay haha

i thought id take a shortcut through the swamp to get home, my first thought was i hope theres no abomination... sure enough, its the first enemy i encounter

looove this game

[crude yacht]

Dying is part of the game. It's not the end, just a setback.

I was really scared of abominations the first few times through the swamps. After you learn how they move, they become easier to handle.

[timid moon]

i think i might be the worst valheim player in existence

[tepid pike]

i had the biggest troll phobia for the longest time and know all about the anxiety and pounding heart LOL

[timid moon]

800 hours and i can barely fight a troll with success

[timid moon]

ive learnt that trees and rocks are ur best friend with trolls 😭 i also like to taunt them to smash copper for me

[crude yacht]

Yeah, abominations are kind of like trolls. Easy to predict what they are gonna do after you know what they do.

[tepid pike]

2k hours and they don't scare me any more 🤣

[hasty heart]

welcome to australia

[sour fjord]

trolls are only scary when i can't deal with them quickly or run away. the longer a fight goes on, the more danger you're in, even if you're winning the whole time

[half dragon]

spear + shield is very effective strat against trolls

if not feeling confident you can also throw the spear from safe distance and pick it up again

[crude yacht]

How is that?

[sour fjord]

'cause stuff is super sneaky, rested bonus runs out eventually, night comes eventually, your health and stamina drop slightly as your food is "digested". starting off a fight fresh and smacking everything away is very different to facing your 20th enemy in a row, no longer rested with your food low enough that you're not getting your best stats but still high enough that you can't refresh it, and the sun just set.

[crude yacht]

Cold...wet...out of stamina...

[unreal veldt]

I lured a troll into the plains once and a berserker dealt with him quickly

[sharp halo]

real men live inland so its so hot and dry the blood suckers cant live

[crude yacht]

Troll vs Abomination...it's really not as close as you think...

[unreal veldt]

That fight always looks like a Godzilla vs Kong Battle

[sour fjord]

exactly. until you know how to kill any enemy when you're at the worst state you can be, you gotta figure out quickly when the best time to run is, 'cause you're gonna need to eventually

[crude yacht]

I feel like normal trolls become more a nuisance after a while. But I've learned not to underestimate the trunk carrying trolls. It's been a painful reminder a few times.

Eventually you will get gear that makes them trivial.

[sharp halo]

when i see them i think "free copper"

[crude yacht]

I think, "which set of trees was I gonna cut down?"

[sharp halo]

i dont farm copper unless i can use a troll ( i havnt seen a troll in 30 days)

[unreal veldt]

Yes its always handy to have a Troll Slave

Heres your reward Troll for mining that copper :

[crude yacht]

It always annoys me when they get stuck in the broken parts of the copper node and then it takes FOREVER to have him hit enough times to break it all up. So much faster and efficient with the pickaxe, imo.

[half dragon]

the funny thing is, with a bronze pickaxe you mine copper faster than a troll...

[unreal veldt]

Well if you want to skip The Antler pickaxe a troll can mine it for you

[crude yacht]

Yes, very true.

[sharp halo]

so lazy tho

[crude yacht]

Which is lazy?

[sharp halo]

im too lazy to mine it myself

[unreal veldt]

I managed to skip The First Bow and managed to get enough finewood to craft a finewood bow

[sharp halo]

niceeeeee winewood

[unreal veldt]

I use to be afraid of the swamp

[crude yacht]

But...I don't want to sit around waiting all day for the troll to break it up. I mean, you have to wrangle the troll to the right place to mine the copper...the pickaxe is definitely more efficient.

[sharp halo]

i have no fear (ive died like 50 times)

[crude yacht]

Death is just part of playing the game.

[sharp halo]

nah

death is a skill issue

[crude yacht]

I would argue that death is a knowledge issue. Once you know what you are doing, it becomes easier to not die.

[unreal veldt]

It took me 3 Hours to get my stuff from my tombstone in the swamp cause i was playing with 2 Friends and they arent a fan of portals cause they think portals take the challenge away

[sharp halo]

when devcommands

[crude yacht]

devcommands are cheating...

[sharp halo]

omg no way

[unreal veldt]

Portals are cheating too

[sour fjord]

i don't think it's an issue of any kind, it's part of playing the game, as you said. it's a natural and intended part of the process, the loop. dying is how you learn what doesn't work, it's the only way you learn what doesn't work

[crude yacht]

lol...I never die...I just invoke godmode...

[sharp halo]

fr

[crude yacht]

"it's not cheating"

[sharp halo]

10000%

[sour fjord]

only if you've set yourself that challenge. portals make an immense world a lot more manageable for people without the time or friends or patience for spending 3 real life hours just to get stuff back

[sharp halo]

not using portals just makes the game a chore to play

[unreal veldt]

I use devcommands only in emergencies in my singleplayer worlds

[sharp halo]

fr

[crude yacht]

I agree. They are for convenience of people who don't want to spend the time or the challenge. And that's fine. But no risk makes for a very boring game, in my opinion. ANd portals mitigate a lot of risk.

devcommands is cheating...

[unreal veldt]

Like when my boat is at another island and i forgot to set up a shelter (spawnpoint)

[sharp halo]

fr may as wall play prema death and no map

[crude yacht]

When I don't feel like looking for more iron...just spawn more iron.

[sharp halo]

flying around in godmode isnt cheating bro

[crude yacht]

When I don't feel like defeating the boss, I just spawn the boss item.

[sharp halo]

legit

[half dragon]

he's just a "that's cheating! troll" according to him world swapping to bring wood from another world is cheating

[sharp halo]

admiral is having a stroke rn

[sharp halo]

LMAOOOOOOOO

[crude yacht]

Uh...I do play no map/no portal/permadeath.

[sharp halo]

same but wiht god mode and flying, its not cheating after all

[unreal veldt]

When i am 1 wood short and I need to build that last part of my wall at my base i just turn on FreeBuild

[sharp halo]

exactly!! but do it with the full build

[crude yacht]

Though, I would really love a mode where when you die, your corpse is left behind with all it's stuff, so your new character has a chance to retrieve it all.

[sharp halo]

mod perhaps

[crude yacht]

If you guys joined a world where they said devcommands were cheating, would you still join that world?

[unreal veldt]

Imagine a setting where when you die your stuff on your corpse gets deleted permanently

[sharp halo]

no, its not cheating

its only cheating if you use portals

[crude yacht]

What if they said you can't use devcommands? Would you honor that arrangement?

[half dragon]

ngl, the devcommands are really damn good. If you're having a bad time and get screwed over, you can go back to enjoying the game.

[sharp halo]

exactly, like why farm whne you cna just spawn any item in

[half dragon]

my chara save files all got corrupted, was able to fix that with commands

[crude yacht]

True...why play the game when you can just press a button and win the game?

[half dragon]

backups and all

[sharp halo]

💯

[unreal veldt]

I played with mods alot on Valheim

[crude yacht]

I think overall the theme is, do what makes you happy? 🙃

[sharp halo]

after the first day of playin the game i started using mode

[sharp halo]

no, only do what makes others happy, its the best way to live!

[unreal veldt]

there is a mod that can save you time by a Single Break of a Copper deposit

[sharp halo]

vein miner

[unreal veldt]

Yep

[sharp halo]

i think its a bit too strong but i use a better mining type mod

[unreal veldt]

Very handy

[sharp halo]

jsut makes it less time consuming as i only have like 1 hour to play a day

[crude yacht]

Have you tried increasing the drop rate to 3x?

[sharp halo]

1.5x

only for ores tho

[crude yacht]

But then you only need to mine a little bit of the node and you'll have all the copper you need.

[sour fjord]

yeah this. I've used them before, but it's only to get myself out of otherwise impossible situations that would take hours on end of gameplay to save me from. i'm willing to fight, and even to die, because i've prepared for that, but when the game has jank issues that cost you hours of gameplay to fix or undo or get back to, that F5 menu's coming out

[unreal veldt]

I also add in as much Modded building content as i can cause i love being Artistic

[half dragon]

I kinda prefer building with the limitations that are imposed

[unreal veldt]

Have you guys tried Krumpacs Version of Valheim

[crude yacht]

My personal take is to embrace the jank...learn to avoid the jank...that's part of the game. I'm perfectly fine with people doing whatever they want in their own games, but I prefer the challenge and the grind...high risk makes pulling off a heist more rewarding, in my opinion.

[half dragon]

every time there's something I would like to make, but there's no convenient piece to fit exactly 1:1, it makes me try things and come up with creative solutions

[crude yacht]

Pocket portals really reduces the sense of accomplishment.

[unreal veldt]

Krumpac turned Valheim into something else insanely different

[crude yacht]

What does Krumpacs version have?

[unreal veldt]

You want a link to his server his server will explain that

[crude yacht]

There's nothing more exciting than being stuck in the middle of nowhere without any food, no arrows, no meads, and trying to survive the night with 25 health. Gets the blood pumping.

Convince mce to want the link?

Even just a small synopsis?

[unreal veldt]

He added more enemies, Redecorated all Biomes, added a Neck Dungeon

[sour fjord]

i totally would, too, but i haven't the time or patience any more. i did all that on my first run, i sailed literally halfway across the world at least a few times to get my gear back, so having proved to myself I can do it, i'm good on doing it another 50 times lol

[crude yacht]

So maybe if there was a way to earn the easy trip back? So there is some risk? I'd be okay with that. But having the supplies in your pack to instantly phone home seems to make the game a bit cheese. I'd love it if you had to do certain things first before it let you build a portal. Kind of like a reward for succeeding,.

[crude yacht]

Interesting, did he rebuild the entire progression tree? Or is it more or less the same?

[unreal veldt]

he rebuilt that too

More challenging

I told Krumpac that Irongate should hire him cause he knows his ins and outs of the game pretty well cause he pulled off something unique

[sour fjord]

locking portal-building out of each biome until you'd "made the area safe" by killing X number of enemies would be an interesting feature. fortunately, i usually put my portal in the meadows or BF just outside the border of the swamp/plains/mountains that I'm dealing with at that time, so it wouldn't change much for me

[unreal veldt]

Im also a supporter of his patreon and that includes exclusive ingame benefits

[crude yacht]

I see a youtube video about the Krumpac Reforged...is that it?

[unreal veldt]

Yep

[crude yacht]

Exclusive in game benefits?

So is it not a mod? Do you have to join a dedicated server?

[unreal veldt]

No its a mod

[crude yacht]

Yeah, locking out biomes to portals would only be a partial solution.

I guess the guy doing the video was beta-previewing it at the time it was being developed.

Maybe before it was released to the general public?

[unreal veldt]

Ya

[crude yacht]

But paying the developer unlocks some special stuff?

[unreal veldt]

Yes and i guess gives you early beta access to the next content before it gets released to the public

[crude yacht]

Strange.

"whatever you think you know about Valheim, just throw it out the window" 🤣

I'll check it out. Still working on the vanilla game, but I'm intrigued.

[sharp halo]

i know trees give wood c:

[crude yacht]

WRONG! Not in KGrumpac's Reforged!

[sharp halo]

😤

[unreal veldt]

Supporting krumpac also helps him pay for 3d models cause 3d models aint free on the internet

[merry pebble]

tho that is a mod...

[unreal veldt]

Irongate does Encourage Modding

[sharp halo]

devs not supporting modding are silly

[crude yacht]

Donating to the Patreon isn't really getting "paid" for it. If it's completely optional. BUT the registration part seems kind of funky. Is that just for early access or to run the mod?

[sharp halo]

for EA

[crude yacht]

Yeah, so running the latest released version on Thunderstore is free?

[sharp halo]

i lot of large mods do this

[sleek panther]

Hello, uh me and my friends were creating some stuff in the Ashlands (only reason cuz it looks cool) are there going to be any future uptades

[sleek panther]

in the Ashlands?

[crude yacht]

Yes, though I don't know if the Ashlands update will clobber what you've built. probably a good question for a moderator.

[unreal veldt]

for registration part he only needs your Steam Number ID which is always on your steam profile link

[peak ore]

If anyone knows, please let me know. Does BepInEx have a negative effect on Valheim?
I'm having trouble starting up when I open it for the first time in a while.
If there is a suitable channel for this topic, please let me know.

[sleek panther]

Weve built a trophy room

[unreal veldt]

#mods-issues

[sleek panther]

Like it has all of the bosses with two signs (There names and like a funny quote while we were fighting them)

[crude yacht]

I'd imagine if you don't have any mods installed, probably very little effect.

[sharp halo]

make sure its upto date valheim JUST got a new update

ig no mods are updated yet

[crude yacht]

Try reading through this link: #news message

[unreal veldt]

it usually takes up to 2 days for modders to update

[crude yacht]

They might have information on what will be affected with the update.

[sharp halo]

lazy mfs, smh

[sleek panther]

For Eikthyr (There isnt any) for Bonemass its Ik how to cheeze it, for moder its in another language but ill translate it do Kill all, for queen its why are there two for yagluths it my friend yelling where are you cuz i kept dying and for the elder its why is he jizzing on us

[crude yacht]

WHAT!? 2 DAYS! WHY ARE WE PAYING THEM FOR...oh wait...nevermind.

[unreal veldt]

They touch grass ya know

[sharp halo]

cap

[sharp halo]

tf am i reading

[unreal veldt]

Sounds like uba juuba to me

[crude yacht]

We once had a guy who played WoW with us flat out drunk. That post reminds of him.

[sharp halo]

lmao

[unreal veldt]

Imagine playing valheim drunk

[sharp halo]

its hard

trying to parry doesnt work

[merry pebble]

oh it does 😄

[unreal veldt]

Get good

[sharp halo]

💯

[crude yacht]

Yeah, everything becomes impossible...except sailing. For some reason sailing becomes really easy.

[half dragon]

just don't get hit, ez

[sharp halo]

fr, just use godmode???

[crude yacht]

It's easy to not die, when you can't die.

[sleek panther]

lmfao funny quotes while we were defeating

[crude yacht]

AHHH! I take it all back. Congrats!

[unreal veldt]

you know whats sad about my 2 Friends Dedicated server we are on day 1500 something and found all bonemass locations and we have not fought bonemass yet

[sharp halo]

w

[crude yacht]

Waiting for a rainy day?

[sharp halo]

it rains 90% of the year

[unreal veldt]

we been just stockpiling Iron

[crude yacht]

Can you ever have too much iron?

[sharp halo]

jsut spawn it in???????

[peak ore]

thank you guys your kindness!

[merry pebble]

where is the fun in that?

[unreal veldt]

my friends want to do everything legitimately

[sharp halo]

flying around in godmode is so fun hwat u mean

[crude yacht]

If you don't like gathering iron, but enjoy hoarding it...

[unreal veldt]

I have maxed out Iron Gear

[sharp halo]

yeah being sarcastic

[unreal veldt]

In that dedicated server

I even got my own longship

[sharp halo]

hot

[unreal veldt]

Recently

[sharp halo]

ive only got a short ship :c

[unreal veldt]

all 3 of us got our own Longships

[crude yacht]

Micro-ship....for me.

[sharp halo]

damn bro

[unreal veldt]

We share A base

[sharp halo]

share your long boat with me

[crude yacht]

What are the mats for a longship?

How many iron bars does it take?

[sharp halo]

some wood and other items

more than 1

[unreal veldt]

Ancient wood, Iron Nails uh

leather

[crude yacht]

Is it 80 iron nails? I think it's 10 nails per bar.

[sharp halo]

its def more than 1 nail per iron

[unreal veldt]

Iron nails x100
Deer hide x10
Fine wood x40
Ancient bark x40

[crude yacht]

so 10 iron bars...that's not so bad.

[sharp halo]

see i was right

[crude yacht]

How much storage is there?

[sharp halo]

😎

[sharp halo]

not enough tbh

[unreal veldt]

i think 4 rows 8 Collumns

[sharp halo]

yeah

[crude yacht]

Who needs storage when you have devcommands?

[sharp halo]

who needs any items or gear when devcommands

[unreal veldt]

I remember when my friends and i found the first Plains…. It was a bad experience im sure you guys know the rest

[sharp halo]

yeah same, it was fun tho

[crude yacht]

I think we've all experience that experience. 😉

[sharp halo]

the rest is using godmode right?

[serene talon]

deathsquitooossss

[unreal veldt]

Deathsquitos yes

[crude yacht]

Or the wolves in the mountains...

[serene talon]

wolves i hate the most

they stagger you once and its over

[crude yacht]

We just fought our first stone golems...hilarity ensued.

[unreal veldt]

I figured out a Cheesy method to explore the Mountain biome early… place a network of Camp fires

[crude yacht]

I was actually on my way back up the mountain slope when I saw my friend sail through the air overhead of me...he chose his place to make a stand poorly.

[serene talon]

in my new playthroughs i just skip bonemass because he triggers so many raids to be active

[sharp halo]

he does???

REAL men jsut disable raids

[crude yacht]

why disable raids when devcommands?

[unreal veldt]

I know how to defeat Bonemass easily… Those Flaming Gysers

[serene talon]

he activates 6 raids

and only one is possible to get rid of

[sharp halo]

💯 '

[crude yacht]

Which boss unleashes the raids that destroy your base?

[serene talon]

elder probably those trolls can be destructive

[unreal veldt]

Drakes are destructive

[serene talon]

why play the game when devcommands

[crude yacht]

Trolls and boars don't mix.

[unreal veldt]

the drakes killed my boars

[serene talon]

bats are nightmare for livestock

and if you build in mistlands those gjall raids gonna be destructive too

[crude yacht]

We are probably ready for bonemass, but we've been exploring the plains and mountains hoping for some upgrades...but so far bupkiss.

[serene talon]

yeah boss drops are useful in the next biome kinda

[unreal veldt]

I was building a shelter in the mistlands when the mistlands was in Beta Build and a Seeker jumped into my shelter and killed me

[serene talon]

seekers are the worst

[crude yacht]

I was getting ready to sleep for the night after surviving with 1 HP and accidentally stepped into my fireplace...sigh

Fireplaces...the worst home enemy.

[serene talon]

i like them because for them i need to build vents

and i like building vents and chimneys

[crude yacht]

Have you ever died to smoke inhalation?

[serene talon]

no

[unreal veldt]

i learned next time if i want to set up a spawn point Ill build it in a black forest biome neighbouring the mistlands

[serene talon]

yeah neighbouring biomes are often the best way to get into a new biome

[crude yacht]

Bases in neighboring biomes?

[serene talon]

like a black forest next to a new biome is a good place for a portal

[unreal veldt]

you should try Building a base in the swamp… no balls

[crude yacht]

I've been playing in a no map/no portal world and I finally found a swamp with a few crypts in them. I'm just worried that I'm so lost I'll never find my way back to the starting circle again.

[serene talon]

nah only thing i ever built in swamp was a tower

i called it irongart and everyone mined iron there

[crude yacht]

I usually only make a small outpost on the border. I was worried about wraiths, but they can't get through the wooden stake fences, hilariously.

[unreal veldt]

Everyone hates the Swamp but nobody talks about hating the Mountains

[serene talon]

well mountains is a one time visit

like you kill the boss and mostly dont need to go back there that often

[crude yacht]

Swamps are fine. It's the wet/cold/no stamina part that sucks...and when you get stuck in that tiny gap next to the crypt and can't get out.

[sharp halo]

when debug mode

[crude yacht]

Is it typical to only make bases in forest and meadows or is it as you get further away from the center, these biomes becomes less and less available?

[serene talon]

meadows stop generating somewhere around the distance mistlands start i think

[unreal veldt]

And the plains should have had its own dungeons

[serene talon]

but black forests generate everywhere

[serene talon]

it has the villages

[crude yacht]

Booo on black forest generating everywhere.

[serene talon]

its a nice place to test new weapons in

[unreal veldt]

When mistlands came out the old Speedrunner maps got nerfed

[crude yacht]

What's the fastest speedrun? (without devcommands)

[sharp halo]

longer than 1 min

[sharp halo]

why the edit lmaoo

[serene talon]

around 8 hours i think

thats the tyr winner time at least

[crude yacht]

Yeah, I guess the end was when you downed the last boss? Or all bosses?

[unreal veldt]

There was a map i really liked which is very well known it had the first 3 bosses on the starter continent and Moder and Yagluth were on the islands across from the Starter

And that got nerfed

The Spawnpoint and Bosses got shifted

[crude yacht]

They changed the spawn points to always be further away?

And was it a team of players or just solo?

[sharp halo]

any enjoyers?

[unreal veldt]

Can never have enough honey

[crude yacht]

I guess the winning strat is to just go for the high end equipment asap...which is probably easy if you know what you are doing.

[serene talon]

no its actually just cheese every boss

[unreal veldt]

before the mistlands update the spawn point was right infront of a tiny Black forest biome and a Troll spawned on the other side of the black forest + there was a troll cave on that end which is very helpful to obtain troll armor early

Now the spawnpoint is further away from where it use to be

the seed i am talking about is HHcLC5acQt

[sharp halo]

real men use the seed "devcommands"

[serene talon]

real men use the seed "absville"

[sharp halo]

REAL MEN touch grass

[unreal veldt]

yes

[merry pebble]

too bad thats too long for a seed...

[crude yacht]

real mean eat honey?

[sharp halo]

even more real men eat raw honey

[crude yacht]

Real men eat sausages?

me fr

[unreal veldt]

I know how to Kill Golems… Jump on their backs and whack them with Pickaxe

[sharp halo]

bruh fr???

[merry pebble]

or just parry+mace

[sleek panther]

I mean

[unreal veldt]

My method is more fun

[sleek panther]

He is right

[merry pebble]

oh i am not saying it isnt fun 😄

[unreal veldt]

Its like riding a buffalo

[sleek panther]

But i dont think

[unreal veldt]

Yeehaah

[sleek panther]

The golem stays alive

When im fighting it (I use magic)

[crude yacht]

Just kick him off the side of the mountain.

[unreal veldt]

When i unlock magic i normally use the skeleton summoning and Make them fight those damn annoying greydwarfs

[sharp halo]

cant wait untill i cna do this

[merry pebble]

greydwarfs go away with little persuasion with fire staff 😉

[unreal veldt]

I probably Genocided 100,000 Greydwarfs by now maybe more

I keep running into them every 10 to 15 seconds

Also im so happy i can turn off Hugin

[sharp halo]

i wish i could keep him in the hot tub

[unreal veldt]

I wanted to cook that bird

[sharp halo]

i bet he is tasty

[serene talon]

i wanted to use his feathers for arrows

[unreal veldt]

Odin would not like it but Fuck odin

😄

[sleek panther]

Thats it?

[unreal veldt]

Maybe around 6 million

[sleek panther]

Me and my friend had a battle with 3000

Thou we didnt spawn all of them at once

[sharp halo]

damn big man here flexing his lack of grass touching

[sleek panther]

Real

[unreal veldt]

I tried spawning in 10000 greydwarfs once and my game crashed

[half dragon]

surprised?

[sharp halo]

yes

[unreal veldt]

Heres how to kill Eikthyr Elder Bonemass, Moder and Yagluth without even having to fight them

tamed Wolves are effective on every boss except for bonemass the Alternative is tamed Lox’s

[latent gorge]

how long (in minutes) will the wolf be tamed?

[sharp halo]

more than 3

[unreal veldt]

Devcommands

[latent gorge]

??

[sharp halo]

fr

[unreal veldt]

i use the tame command

[tepid pike]

30 minutes i believe

[latent gorge]

where is the fun using command

[unreal veldt]

well i use tame command only in test worlds

[sharp halo]

only fun when in debugmode

[merry pebble]

30 minutes, same for all the tamable animals

[latent gorge]

Okie

[merry pebble]

but you have to be in their vicinity or the taming timer will pause

[serene talon]

thats not a amount of time if i remember correctly

[latent gorge]

Ah yes, that I know, just that I haven't tame wolf before

At first I thougt each animal has different taming time

I'm progressing my game slowly, hope I can catch up to Ashlands when it release

[sharp halo]

you got PLENTY of time

[merry pebble]

well at most a bit over 70 days i believe 😄

78 days if my math is correct (+thats is the latest date)

[sharp halo]

its not

[half dragon]

need more tar again. so easy to burn through hundreds of them

[sharp halo]

yeah it sucks

[merry pebble]

then tell me the correct number 😄

[sharp halo]

more than 10 days

[merry pebble]

as far as i know 78 is more than 10

[sharp halo]

so im right 🤠

[merry pebble]

and so am i 😄

[sharp halo]

maybe 😤

[merry pebble]

then i dont understand your first remark...

[sharp halo]

my first remark was "its not"

pretty easy to understand

[merry pebble]

yes? to me saying "78 days if my math is correct" which it is correct, that is what i dont understand 😄

[sharp halo]

its not

[merry pebble]

then say what is incorrect about it 😄

[sharp halo]

please keep unrelated chat to #general

i forgot how funny doing this can be

[merry pebble]

says someone who was talking about mods in here for half an hour? 😄

[sharp halo]

valheim mods are valheim related 😳

[half dragon]

and there's own channel for valheim mods

[merry pebble]

but there is a channel for them 😄 #mods-discussion

[sharp halo]

fr 💯

[sleek panther]

Just cheeze them

For bonemass just camp on his spawner above

For moder do a underground bownfire trap

For yagluth dig a pit

his belly shows and like cover it up with floors and shoot it

[merry pebble]

why cheeze them? they are not that hard 😄

[sleek panther]

They arent if you have mistland gear

[merry pebble]

no, i meant in apropriate gear from every coresponding biome...

[sleek panther]

Yeh have fun killing the Moder

[merry pebble]

i did 😄

mutiple times... and its often quite fun

i get to see all the ways she gets bugged XD

[fallen zephyr]

Hey all. 🙂
Is there a particular reason that anyone is aware of for bread stacking in 20s?

[merry pebble]

you dont want to put 20 loafs of bread into your pocket? 👀

[fallen zephyr]

Not really no. I'm happy with 10, I'll use the 5 weight somewhere else

[merry pebble]

well its easy enough to split the stack 😄 i am on the other hand sometimes glad i dont have to refill it for a long time

[neon quest]

Anyone have a breakdown of all the metals needed for a bases tech?

[merry pebble]

not really? i have usually just one main base 😄

[neon quest]

Like, Imma pack up a ship, sail all across the map, make a new base and want fully upgraded workingbench, forge etc, and I wanna bring all the un-portal-able materials with me so I dont need to start hitting copper again, what do I need to bring?

[merry pebble]

look at wiki at crafting stations, they have a list of all the upgrades and stuff needed for them 😄

[neon quest]

I like starting new bases, especially afte||r bonemass||, when you unlock ||stone, and iron chests|| my options for building are completely changed, I wanna start fresh without tearing down my first wooden base

[neon quest]

yeah sure, I can look at my build menu and add it myself, was just curious if that had already been doen or if there are resources for this that might otherwise be useful

[merry pebble]

🤷‍♂️ not really sure sorry

but if you are gonna make a list it will be easier with wiki i believe, since you can see all the stuff needed for all upgrades at once

[zealous salmon]

can we hope for Ashlands by May/June? it's starting to be a long time 🥺

[merry pebble]

we sure can 😄 those are the last two month of the first half of the year after all 😄

[safe flower]

Maybe they are bluffing us and what’s really happening is both Ashlands and the north area is getting released

[zealous salmon]

I hope 😇 , Ashland + Elden Ring dlc duo would make a good start to summer

[sharp halo]

once i had black metal i left my first world and moved to a new map

[nocturne wolf]

Why would you leave a world?

[lunar sapphire]

I'll just remind you about our mini-modding rule as well

[sand dagger]

Good morning, consult, do crossbows have to be configured with the trophies so that they don't shoot at you?

[pliant hatch]

Crossbows don't need trophies.

Ballistas do, however.

Or you can keep them unloaded with a chest with some bolts nearby.

[sand dagger]

In Spanish I think of it as a crossbow xD, I was wondering why every time I go out they hit me hahaha

[pliant hatch]

Translation can be troublesome sometimes. 🙂

Anyway, using trophies or keeping them unloaded are two options.

You may also consider to put them enclosed with walls and use the wooden shutters in front of them to keep them from firing at you.

Hmmm, I think I just died my most stupid death ever.

Was planning to craft some frost-mead. Did only have basic health and forgot my kiln which is below my campfire / cauldron was making coal.
So got smoked to death. 😨

[sand dagger]

F

[oak walrus]

so is the new update coming in under 2 months or has it been delayed?

[pliant hatch]

All we know is "first half of 2024", which means we got 78 days to find out whether it's delayed or not.

[oak walrus]

👍

[pliant hatch]

Best thing you can do is keeping an eye out for the news at https://valheim.com/#about or at the Steam community page.
The moment the PTB for Ashlands drops, it may take 1-2 months at most for it to be released for everyone.
That's the best guess I can give you.

[fair cairn]

first half of 2024

[magic trout]

Am not sure where I posted about my recent experience with a tamed deer on Xbox which doesn't have any pc player on to of tamed the deer well for those that didn't believe me it's happened again

This time I took a picture 😂😂

[half dragon]

Getting bonked by a tree is a classic, but I think my stupidest death has to be me moving backwards working on upper section of my building... hadn't eaten to refresh food boosts so lost those meager 25 hp to fall damage

[nocturne wolf]

My first death was from the first tree I chopped

[half dragon]

the trees fight back. Fierce warriors I tell you

[nocturne wolf]

Beech log is the first boss

[whole cairn]

When will ashlands come?

[pliant hatch]

we got 78 days to find out.

[whole cairn]

Ok I m going on a 78 days nap then

[half dragon]

just don't sleep in the snow and wake up in the future

[pliant hatch]

I think counting the right number of drops is a better idea.....

[paper marsh]

Hope it wasn’t hardcore 🤭

[half dragon]

wish crafting stations had longer range for level up decorations. I had a perfect place to put that butcher table, but it was just half a meter out of range, and there's nowhere else where it would fit... guess I'll just bury it under the floor ffs.

this isn't the only time I've had a problem with this. The other time was when I was making a workshop for crafting, there again ran into the problem of too short range

[pliant hatch]

Fortunately not.
But the skill set-back starts to hurt even at 40-ish level.

[pliant hatch]

No opportunity to go up?
I'm quite often placing a 1x1m wooden floor tile on which I place the smaller upgrades to save room.

[half dragon]

it's not problem with room, there's plenty of it. Just nowhere where it would look good or make sense

[nova socket]

is there a way to check the amount of deaths I had in the playthrough?

[half dragon]

the only spot where it would look good and make sense to put it there, it's just barely out of reach

at very least you could count markers if you haven't removed them

[pliant hatch]

And what about moving the cauldron a bit?

[half dragon]

won't work

[nova socket]

welp
removed them of course haha

[half dragon]

who doesn't... I don't really want to be reminded constantly of my oopsies

"hey on this day 15 you died like an idiot to that troll because you dodged too early!"

[half dragon]

posted to #screenshots why moving the cauldron isn't an option

[nova socket]

honestly
would be fun

[half dragon]

hmm... oh I know. It would be great if there was a log for major events, such as deaths, first boss kills and stuff that shows which day it happened... and for deaths also the cause of death

[pliant hatch]

I see the problem.

I also noticed that I overlooked something, meaning I have to redo my kitchen as well. 😄

[half dragon]

I'm honestly surprised my kichen hasn't turned out to look complete garbage with all this open space, it's right above a cellar for mead so it makes sense to put it right here and not ideal for building anything tall above it

[pliant hatch]

The mistake I made was putting my storage chests in the corner next to the cauldron.
Makes using them while "cooking" a lot easier, but it also blocked the locations of the butcher table and mortal and pestle.
So I removed them.

[half dragon]

unfortunate

think 8 ovens going to be an overkill?

[pliant hatch]

I dunno.

Are you planning to start a Valheim bakery?

[unique onyx]

depends how much food you want to cook at once, i find 2 is about right

[pliant hatch]

Just got a shot of my current setup: #screenshots message

[azure yacht]

/stats in the in-game chat

[half dragon]

I'll probably be cooking stuff in larger batches so I do not have to cook as often

[nova socket]

oh lol
didn't know that, thanks

[shadow remnant]

Does anyone bring a cart to the mountains for carrying silver? I ended up dying and losing the cart just to go down the mountain.

[frigid gust]

All the time. I usually kinda let gravity take the cart down and go catch up later, though

[half dragon]

also if the cart breaks, pushing those boxes down the mountain is also viable option

can craft it again once you're down the slope

[charred otter]

How do I dodge abom's leg stomp attack? running away doesn't help it has really high reach

[unique onyx]

dodge roll to the side of his body he's not using to stomp with

[charred otter]

So left? and how do I time it

[fair cairn]

i usually parry or simply block them

[near furnace]

1-2 months?
from PTB to release on the early access client?

[near furnace]

no delays

[obtuse cloud]

having no delays in today's game market is a miracle to be fair

[oak walrus]

Great!

[buoyant lake]

Mistlands PTB was out for like 2 weeks right?

Sounds like Ashlands is even more polished.

[uncut bough]

Are there any other types of missiles for ballissta or it is just either wood-pilled or blackmetal-pilled?

[pliant hatch]

I think there's bone too

[tulip patrol]

I just bring Forge materials and smelters with me to my mountain and smelt and craft everything up in my Mountain F.O.B.

[uncut bough]

Why cant i find that from artisan table?

It is either spring, wood missile, or blackmetal missile

[tulip patrol]

There is just wooden and Black metal missile

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps because it's created at another table?
Like the workbench?

[uncut bough]

Missile for ballista

[pliant hatch]

Just checked the wiki.
Two types of missiles.
I was mistaking the missiles and the bolts.

[uncut bough]

There are so many mats and they can’t give them the same treatment as arrow/bolt

Maybe bronze missile, iron missile, caparace missile

[paper marsh]

Dodge roll also gives you invincibility for a moment (i frames). So you can dodge directly into the abomination or directly into the attack and not take damage. Just gotta learn to time it

Also I feel like running away may help if you're wearing light armor. Not gonna be too consistent tho

[charred otter]

Is there an easy monster to practice dodge rolls on?

Cuz trying it on a troll or abom doesn't go to well when they deal so much dmg

[pliant hatch]

Greylings perhaps?

Meadow creatures in general may be a good choice as well.

Later switch to Greydwarves and slowly make the monsters harder.

[burnt glen]

Try dodge rolling and parrying on greydwarves. Then you can move up to skeletons, and after that you should get used to the pattern of learning attacks and knowing when to parry/dodge roll.

[buoyant lake]

But eventually you gotta learn on the big mobs cuz attack timings are not all the same

[charred otter]

Parrying on "small" mobs (greydwarfs, dragur, skeletons etc) I am already good at (if there is just 1 of them), my problem is with different kinds of attacks from larger monsters

[charred otter]

Yea exactly that's my issue

[burnt glen]

Well you can run away from almost any attack in the game, so you could bait them to use the attacks and run away to see how it works. You could also make a tower shield and put that up to protect yourself if you're just trying to observe.

[half dragon]

but doesn't give proper feedback if you blocked too early

you can't parry with a tower shield

[burnt glen]

Yeah, I'm suggesting it for the purpose of watching how the enemies move.

[half dragon]

you don't need to be hit for that...

[burnt glen]

Well they want to see their attacks to be able to parry them, and as I mentioned, you can run from them but sometimes you could get hit.

[half dragon]

not an issue if got abundant iron, but if not, might be worth it to take a bit bigger risk instead. Just have to make sure you have proper food and don't die in 1 hit

[azure yacht]

Haven't played in my first world in over two years, returning feels kinda nostalgic

[charred otter]

Never realyl liked tower shields

[azure yacht]

And I'm glad I left my character with a good variety of mistlands gear, I thought it was gonna be underprepared when ashlands is released

[burnt glen]

I'd go with what Spugelo said. Be prepared and take the risk, you'll learn.

[azure yacht]

Pretty much I only need to kill queen and move on

[half dragon]

wish there was a bit more use for tower shields and in general just blocking. for the most part feels like a backup plan if accidentally parried too early or new to the game.

[charred otter]

Dying is really punishing tho, so I'd rather play it safe

[burnt glen]

What armor and food are you using?

[half dragon]

just make sure you don't die in 1 hit, if you do get hit back away and wait for hp

[charred otter]

Swamp tier (maxed iron/root)

[half dragon]

alternatively you can find an abomination and bring it to a crypt, go on top of it and you can safely observe it when it will constantly try and hit you, but never actually succeed

[charred otter]

Yea I cheesed one once that way

[burnt glen]

You can bring one over a Surtling fire geyser and continuously block its hits until it burns to death.

[nocturne wolf]

Parrying will make it burn faster

[charred otter]

Yeye, I can cheese him but I don't really need the items rn, mostly wanted to learn how to dodge roll

[half dragon]

parry and dodge timing is the same

[burnt glen]

He does take forever to attack, I've definitely had moments where my dodge roll was finished by the time it connected and the mf took a chunk of my health away.

[half dragon]

the attack timing of abominations seems like the hardest to me, at least for normal enemies

[storm pecan]

There no LFG?

[burnt glen]

#1024264966712340510

[nocturne wolf]

#1024264966712340510

[half dragon]

large size and the fact that you have to be very close to hit it properly and the great difference in attack timings

[charred otter]

I just want to make sure I don't skill issue before I try bonemass/mountains

Also I just found muddy iron scraps randomly in the swamp (not a crypt) is that a thing

[half dragon]

yup

juat not a good source of iron scrap, but if you do happen to find some might as well

[charred otter]

Do crops require access to sunlight or something or can I make a nice greenhouse building for them?

[burnt star]

Important Question

How close can we get to the ashlands biome without making it so the new biome won't spawn on that world?

We want to build a base near the ashlands in anticipation of the new biome release but we worry about getting to close

The entire reason we set up this world was to have a place to be able to go straight into ashlands content from on day 1

[nocturne wolf]

If anything is above a crop it won’t grow.

[merry pebble]

make it a good bit from the border of some other biome with ashlands (on the other biome side)

[half dragon]

although, might be worth trying if there are some materials that do not stop the growing

[charred otter]

Ah rip, so it's kinda hard to decorate, I guess surrounding it with a wall is still possible

[nocturne wolf]

Enemies will destroy crops they see, so making a wall is a good idea

[charred otter]

It's in a spawn proofed area so it's safe

[burnt star]

Is it like, that as soon as you can SEE the ashlands that makes it so the ashlands won't spawn upon the update?

[charred otter]

Unless the walls get broken which happened like once lol

[nocturne wolf]

Just the area you load, not the whole biome

[pliant hatch]

If you got enough iron, you may check if an iron grate floor is working. But to avoid all your crops being destroyed, I'd advise to do a small area only.

[pliant hatch]

Don't forget that the entire Ashlands biome will become seperate islands, instead of having a land connection like they have now.

It would be a better idea if you move your base a bit back to avoid it being erased if the area becomes water instead.

[burnt star]

Did not know that!

[rough lodge]

👋

[slender dagger]

which power for mistlands?

[burnt glen]

Eikythr

[slender dagger]

alr

[burnt star]

But as long as we never come within render range of the ashlands or a continent with ashlands on it currently.... the new ashlands WILL spawn on our world, right?

[slender dagger]

yes it should

[pliant hatch]

Yup.
And even if you did get into render distance, there are mods to change that.
But if you want to be sure, check the map on the Valheim World Generator.
Just keep everything but the spawn turned off and you're able to find a good spot for a base.

[rough lodge]

Hello, looking for someone to duo with

[nocturne wolf]

Bonemass if it’s your first time there

[burnt star]

Everything but the spawn turned off?

[slender dagger]

ah okay thanks, which mob should i use it for?

[nocturne wolf]

Any with stars, or large groups.

[slender dagger]

alr

also which weapon? frostner, porcupine or blackmetal atgeir?

[pliant hatch]

You can use that website to find locations of bosses, crypts, caves, vesigvirs, traders and a lot more items.
Unless you want to spoil your fun, use the default option, which is to have the starting spawn turned on and everything else being turned off.

[burnt star]

Gotcha, and that'll show just the starting spawn and the map of the land/sea/biomes?

[pliant hatch]

It'll show the map in a similar way as the ingame map does. But it has the option to turn on the biomes.

[slender dagger]

.

[burnt star]

Porcupine looks so cool but sadly it's just awful

Probably the least useful weapon made in the game tbh

[slender dagger]

2 starred hare!

[burnt star]

It's no the best at anything it does, so there is always a better option for whatever opponent you're facing

[slender dagger]

ah okay, which should i use?

[pliant hatch]

Depends at your playstyle. Any weapon may be good if you know how to use it. And out of the three you mentioned, they all have their pro's and con's.

Frostner does blunt, frost and spirit damage; which will slow the monsters down;
Porcupine does the combination of blunt and pierce;
Atgeir has the advantage of being good at crowd control; while doing slash (?) damage.

If you don't know which one to use, equip either Frostner and Atgeir or Porcupine and Atgeir and check which one works best for you.

[slender dagger]

alr thanks

[shadow heath]

Frostner and Atgeir dominate in infested mines

[pliant hatch]

And another thing,

It may be a good idea to bring a load of Oozebombs with you. You may need those as well.

[burnt star]

Just get and upgrade Mistwalker for the mistlands it's incredible

[slender dagger]

ah okay thaks

i fought my first seekers and gjall, def glad i broguth fire res

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers have physical damage resistance so frostner does more damage than blackmetal weapons

[slender dagger]

alr, which mobs in mistlands deals pierce?

[nocturne wolf]

Ticks only deal pierce and most seeker attacks are pierce

[slender dagger]

ah okay, found the atgeir nice to deal with ticks

[dreamy kiln]

its a fine weapon, aye

[sudden plume]

anyone have an idea for ahsl;ands release?

[exotic cradle]

[sudden plume]

is it already on testing server?

[exotic cradle]

Not yet

[pliant hatch]

Some time within the next 78 days.

[sudden plume]

okay thanks haha

[slender dagger]

what bad things happen at night in mistlands?

[exotic cradle]

🪲

[dreamy kiln]

ideas i have but that are just wild guesses 😄

[uncut bough]

Flying creature, but starred

Doesnt happen too often but when it does, it is practically time to run

[slender dagger]

oh ok, and does seeker soldiers only spawn at night or?

[uncut bough]

Nope, they spawn at day also, even starred

[slender dagger]

ah okay

[uncut bough]

1 star soldier gonna destroy an entire dvergr settlement if they dont have a starred mage

[slender dagger]

damn

[uncut bough]

So if you want them alive, then you should help them also

[slender dagger]

found one

no stars

died with help froma dvergr rouge

[dreamy kiln]

💪

[uncut bough]

How did the devs come up with the design of gjall? Did they draw inspiration from any other creatures?

[azure yacht]

🍑

[uncut bough]

I harpooned a gjall and drag it too near a settlement that it keeps shaking the bum- i mean body and actually destroyed the tower

[uncut bough]

Real answer right here

[tame yarrow]

valheim is the sailing simulator I never knew I needed.

[half dragon]

Even their weakness is the ultimate ninja technique

[rain flare]

Gjall are massive ticks mate

Just blow them up to grotesque proportions and have them spit burning bile from all the blood of the giants they have been drinking

And voila, what’s up gjall?!?

[uncut bough]

no they are just peach detached from Jotun

[empty bison]

I am using plant all for planting nice trees and bushes, but dont want to make game too easy, but just got into plains and having flax and barley there and its plantable. Its in vanilla game or is this from mode?

[pliant hatch]

Flax and barley can only be planted in plains in vanilla version

[empty bison]

ah okey, thanks. Then its mod, because I can plant them in meadows

[wide zodiac]

do serpent trophies float

[exotic cradle]

Nope

[dense steppe]

[half dragon]

step 1: Add enemy that is in the water
step 2: Don't make all of the loot float
step 3:
step 4: Don't elaborate

[crude yacht]

suhprise! Gotta think it through on how to get that trophy...use your noodle.

[paper marsh]

they should add a third enemy like that 😄

[half dragon]

nah, I have better idea. Make flying enemies that drop items that are lighter weight than air so they won't fall down

[paper marsh]

oooh I like that

[lusty crescent]

Real

[paper marsh]

Would give more incentive to smacking them out of the air with melee weapons. I love doing that with drakes

[half dragon]

For sure would be an interesting challenge to get that loot

could harpoon them closer to you and then melee them, maybe?

[vestal dagger]

I need some help IS BepinEx a thing i need to start valheim

[paper marsh]

Think that's just for if you want to use mods

Which if you DO want to use mods, probably ask in #mods-issues or #mods-discussion bc most ppl here don't play with mods

[half dragon]

A lot of people do, but not the chat to talk about them. But majority of mod users only use some minor QoL mods ect.

[crude yacht]

Anti-gravity loot? I like it!

Make it float up slowly and out of reach, so you have to pick it up asap or else you lose it forever.

[barren widget]

Isnt ashlands like "very close" now?

[merry pebble]

its constantly getting closer 😄 we just dont know exactly when it will be here (only info is still first half 2024, so in next 78 days :D)

[paper marsh]

I'd say so

[barren widget]

I dont remember where, but I read somewhere that it wiuld be only 2-3 weeks after the bug fix patch

[merry pebble]

probably reddit? but no info like that was given by devs

[barren widget]

Not reddit

It was some news article looking

[merry pebble]

it was just a guess, usually rumors like that come from there 😄

[azure yacht]

Assume everything that does not come from the devs themselves is speculation, therefore pretty much misinformation

[barren widget]

Gotcha

[undone lily]

So what’s all new in valhiem ?

[nocturne wolf]

There was a patch a few days ago #valheim-patchnotes

[undone lily]

Fair enough lol

Nice is there more biomes. Now

[merry pebble]

well depending on how long you didnt play it could be quite the question XD

[worthy turtle]

how do u guys stay motivated thru the ore farming😭

[dire remnant]

Diggy diggy hole. You are a dwarf, and you are digging a hole.

[rare salmon]

I keep telling myself I want to beat the first boss lol

[nocturne wolf]

There’s no ore before the first boss

[crude yacht]

Get a better pickaxe.

[rare salmon]

I know is a joke

[unique onyx]

which type of ore .. if it's copper don't dig it out all the way just take the stuff from the surface

[rare salmon]

I keep looking but where? Please help

[nocturne wolf]

Think of how far you’ll be launching greylings with the new mace

[crude yacht]

Also, there is a technique with mining ore nodes. Gotta find the weak spots.

[nocturne wolf]

There are no weak spots?

[rare salmon]

Final boss is an ore

[crude yacht]

Tame a wolf. bring it to kill all the dwarves while you mine the copper node.

[merry pebble]

wastefull...

[unique onyx]

time is money friend

[crude yacht]

Usually copper is plentiful enough that you can find another node without having to dig it out. BUt digging out is always an option, just takes more time.

[merry pebble]

nah, i know its there, i will get it, my head will not allow otherwise 😄

[crude yacht]

Sometimes you gotta just let your OCD rule, ya know?

[undone lily]

Haha it’s been like 6 or so months the mistlands weren’t a thing yet. It was vary un developed

[merry pebble]

oh, then nothing really "major" 😄 the ashlands will be here soon tho 😄

[paper marsh]

Mistlands is out now, and soon (within a few months) we’ll have Ashland’s

[merry pebble]

wait, mistlands were out more than year ago...

[undone lily]

Okay cool I just bought a dedicated server 10 man so I was just curious :p

[undone lily]

Like when I played the mist lands had nothing in it really like they said to. Not build there

[merry pebble]

then it was more than year and a 4 months ago 😄

[undone lily]

Ya it’s been over a year

Haha 02 of 2023 lol

Wow time flys lol

[merry pebble]

mistlands were here in december 2022

[undone lily]

Ya but you weren’t supposed to build there cause of issues of the map or somthjng

As I recall

Or there was nothing to do there yet

[merry pebble]

that would have to be before the release of them i believe

not too sure tho

[undone lily]

Watched a video damn mistlands looks awesome and magic what !

I wanna shoot magic

[merry pebble]

go for it 😄

[undone lily]

Haha I have my own server so soon I’ll be trying to fill it up lol

[unique onyx]

sounds like that weird time period after they removed the trees but before they added the full biome .. side note bring back mistlands trees somewhere yay

[uncut bough]

wait do ballissta ammo disappear over time?

[pliant hatch]

Not that I'm aware of.

But with the ballistas firing at everything that moves, it's likely it has fired multiple bolts at something that came too close to your base.

[uncut bough]

yea that is what i am confused at, i haven't seen any drops around the base

[pliant hatch]

They're pretty slow with firing. Therefore it's very likely they missed more as they hit.

[uncut bough]

i dont get it, where did it even shoot at

[pliant hatch]

night spawn that came too close.

[uncut bough]

it is too high to shoot hare, i saw hare running around and not shot

[odd helm]

Anything that moves, unless you've set it with a trophy

[pliant hatch]

Did you equip it with a trophy?

[uncut bough]

no, not before, cuz i like the versatility of it being in theory able to shoot hare, seeker and seeker soldier

otherwise i would have the situation where the ballista just fails me

[pliant hatch]

If you want it to shoot at hares, it explains why you don't have any missiles left.
Hares are too fast for a ballista to shoot at.
I've seen how two of my ballistae in another seed shot at a swimming Greydwarf multiple times and missed most of those; before it eventually got hit when it was swimming in the same direction as the ballista was firing.

Seekers and Soldiers could be slow enough, though.

[uncut bough]

Perhaps i have been too harsh on spears

They still suck but they dont suck that bad, it makes fighting seeker soldier slightly easier, and fighting gjall more exciting

[sour fjord]

why do spears suck? they've been my favourite for forever

[uncut bough]

Inconsistent attack and also other weapons are just better

The stabbing motion just means that you cant even use it to destroy body pile in swamp, because the spear attack cant reach that far down

The spear attack just doesnt use all of its length

[sour fjord]

I've never noticed any inconsistencies with its attack, at least not in ways that don't affect all weapons

[uncut bough]

And also other weapons are either better or function the same

Atgeir uses all of its length and it shows, and also the busted beyblade attack

Sword is just bread and butter of combat, basically a standard of weapons

Knives are…. Actually yea even worse than spears

[odd helm]

Nah knives are great

[sour fjord]

so they suck because "they're bad and other stuff is better"

[uncut bough]

That’s a load of barnacles

[odd helm]

Quick animations with low commitment, allows you to dodge pretty quickly if need be and take opportunity attacks

[crude yacht]

Spears are kind of nice, having both a melee and ranged attack. Plus having to retrieve them is a nice added challenge.

[uncut bough]

No, they are bad because for its pierce attack function, atgeir do better and atgeir is stupidly busted

[odd helm]

And a decent parry bonus multiplier

[uncut bough]

Use atgeir for pierce dmg, sword for slash and mace for blunt

[odd helm]

Honestly, just use what you like. Not including some specific resistances, every weapon is viable

[sour fjord]

atgeir has no shield, no ranged attack. not liking something doesn't make it bad, just makes it not your playstyle lol

[sour fjord]

p.s. try throwing them at drakes if you really wanna pump up that challenge

[uncut bough]

No ranged attack isnt that much of a downside when there is a weapon just dedicated to do just that and is good at it

[crude yacht]

Spear lesson 1: are you facing a shoreline? Spear lesson 2: are you facing down a mountain slope...

[uncut bough]

Spear lesson 3: did you throw it somewhere you can’t find again?

[sour fjord]

that's the same joke, yes

[uncut bough]

No that is not, i threw a spear once toward a troll, and then the thick forest just hides the spear away

Never managed to find that wolf fang spear or whatever that was

[crude yacht]

Putting thought into where you are tossing it is part of the challenge. I can understand how people find it too hard to figure out.

[sour fjord]

it's a bit like shooting or throwing weapons IRL. just be aware of what's behind your target, so if you miss, you know what you're likely to hit instead

[kind pendant]

Man I love building so much, but I never seem to be able to build a nice aesthetic but useful building, in a good spot either

[undone lily]

On my sever there is a option I can set were raids happen not on boss kills but character progression you think that’s a good thing

[crude yacht]

It just means if someone new joins the server, they won't get raided by something well above their gear level. But if you adventure together, you can still trigger the high level raids.

[undone lily]

Ah okay ya I got a dedicated server that so far it’s just me and a friend and I plan on getting more people just curious if that a hood feature

[crude yacht]

Basically if people are off doing their own thing, player based raids is good, if you are always playing together, it probably doesn't matter.

[undone lily]

Ah okay thanks 🙂

[crude yacht]

You can switch it back and forth at will. So try it and if you don't like it, you can turn it back off.

[undone lily]

Hahah thanks 🙂

You helped me huge

[sour fjord]

silver ore, or ores in general, don't collapse if unsupported, do they?

[crude yacht]

I recall mining out a copper node until several bits of it were free floating. I can't recall if it busted on its own, or if it just degraded down but still required a tap to break it. I know it didn't sink down like rocks or trees and bushes do.

If it broke on its own, it took a long while for it to happen.

[hearty niche]

Y'all have to see this landscape I discovered. This is unreal.

Man I love this game.

There;'s this insane tall stone pillar in the middle of the mistlands with this single tree on top, next to it is this huge mountain

If I don't build some cool wizard tower on this thing I'm a failure

[crude yacht]

Be sure to post the before and after pics in the build channel!

[hearty niche]

Mistlands always feels like Rivendell on a bad acid trip

[sour fjord]

i asked because i wanted to see if i could cheese this ore out, but i think i just had huge parts of one collapse for me... this makes me happy

yeah okay, it happened again: if they're unsupported, you can totally collapse them out and save some time

[dusky basalt]

Is there a way to disable raids? Moved into a island base specifically so im not attacked

[crude yacht]

The raid slider in the world modifiers section let's you completely disable them for the world/server.

[dusky basalt]

Ah ok, thanks

[sharp halo]

is there a mod that disables random ass spawns when in a bossfight? im trying to fight the boss not random ass enemys

[dusky basalt]

Which boss?

[crude yacht]

Maybe try the mods discussion channel? Someone there might know.

[sharp halo]

i dont have a mods issue

[sharp halo]

vagluth

[dusky basalt]

#mods-discussion

[crude yacht]

It's under the misc section.

[sharp halo]

never scrolled down that far bruh

[bleak pewter]

When is the Ashlands update supposed to come?

[vocal rivet]

Stilll by the end of the first half of this year.

[bleak pewter]

Wait no sorry, at summer?

[crude yacht]

Before July 1st, 2024.

[vocal rivet]

No, the first half of the year, by June 30th.

[bleak pewter]

Ahhhhh so during summer, thanks for the information

[sour fjord]

Any time between now and then yeah lol

[crude yacht]

I'll say that is the goal...

[bleak pewter]

I've been trying to get my friend @drifting socket oh hello you're also here, to get him to play the game with him but if he's saying the Ashlands update will wipe pre-existing maps then there's no point playing rn

[vocal rivet]

No, it won't wipe anything.

All that will change is the terrain around Ashlands. Also, any Ashlands you've explored won't receive the updates.

[sour fjord]

Absolutely. It is game development, it takes however long it takes, and we do want a quality product.
@bleak pewter just avoid exploring ashlands in your current game and you'll be fine when the update drops eventually.

that is to say, avoid the deep south side of the map entirely

[crude yacht]

I think Ashlands will clobber things built in the Ashlands specific regions, but otherwise everything else should be safe...again,that is the plan.

[vocal rivet]

That is exctly what will happen, yes.

[hearty niche]

I'm not sure that Gjall bile bags are being subject to resource modifiers?

Wait do they drop 2/3 of a bile bag so it gets rounded up normally?

So then on 3x it would be 2

[paper marsh]

I would assume they change based on the modifiers

[hearty niche]

Me too but on 3x they drop fewer than I'd think they;'d drop

[hearty niche]

as in 2.

[sour fjord]

how come Ulvs, Cultists, and Fenrings all take spirit damage but Geirrhafa doesn't? Frosty or not my good dude is still a werewolf. Is this to avoid frostner being good for too many bosses lol?

[wide zodiac]

how many mins does it take for surtlings to respawn at geysers?

[fallen zephyr]

Not sure, but are you asking for farming purposes?

[wide zodiac]

yup

[fallen zephyr]

Have you dug outthe dirt around the geyser, so it's all underwater?

[wide zodiac]

yup all 5 of them

[fallen zephyr]

Ok, i was just going to suggest going away for a bit, but you're on it 🙂

[wide zodiac]

right now im just running in a loop and waiting for them to spawn so i can collect

[fallen zephyr]

Maybe on the wiki?

[sour fjord]

find a nearby guck-tree, the un-choppable ones, and build a treehouse in it. wait up there in (relative, wraiths at night) safety

unless you're actively using that time to do other stuff nearby, which is fair

[solid patio]

Haven't played in over a year and trying to install mods, is BepInEx not updated?

[odd helm]

#mods-issues for that, main channels are strictly vanilla

[void warren]

Hi. I‘m looking for an interesting world seed. A seed having not too much of plains and Mistlands

[odd helm]

#1202740443352137838 would be a good place to start

[void warren]

Thank you

[idle storm]

5 minutes iirc

[unreal veldt]

Im a Greydwarf Genocide Enjoyer

[jade plume]

Yo same

(They deserve it)

[unreal veldt]

Kill all their cousins

They bug us constantly when we are building

I even trapped one in my base building a Box around it

[jade plume]

I've actually had an annoying build issue and a grey dwarf coming up and hitting me and running away actually made me so mad

[unreal veldt]

Greylings

[jade plume]

They're rhe worst for it

[jade plume]

LMAOOO respectable and deserved

[unreal veldt]

I know how to trap a troll and you need alot of Obsidion

Build obsidion walls to box the troll in

[serene talon]

sadly obsidian is just a fragile volcanic glass in this realm, but its sharp so works for arrows i guess

[nocturne wolf]

Obsidian walls don’t exist

[pliant hatch]

Unless it's from a mod.

But when it's the black material we get from reaching Mistlands, it's Black Marble, not obsidian.

[hearty crater]

hey im in vc and was wondering if anyone wanted to get on and help me defeat moder for the first time, im a bit stuck hes already spawned

[tulip patrol]

Ill hop on and help out

[turbid pollen]

Hit and runner smh, I suppose I should also trap mine in an iron cage although I know that they can spawn more than once.

[sand meteor]

Random question but do you guys think valheim will be the new Minecraft

[grizzled wing]

No

[uncut bough]

Valheim may be replicating the experience for which Minecraft is known for
||/j||

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim is nothing like minecraft

[sand meteor]

Never said it was

[nocturne wolf]

what do you mean by the new minecraft, then?

[sand meteor]

The popularity and how mainstream it is

But more I think about it. Minecraft is too good

And easy for kids. Valheim is hard

[nocturne wolf]

I think minecraft is harder

[turbid pollen]

Mineraft is hard?

[merry pebble]

i would say minecraft is easier 😄 tho i like valheim way more

[nocturne wolf]

Thats what I just said, yes

[lunar sapphire]

Vanilla Minecraft? me asking that but also not wanting an answer cos this isn't the channel for it

[sand meteor]

Why does everyone have flowers in their name . You guys a gang?

[turbid pollen]

Minecraft never even gave me the thrill I got when I first played valheim, I mean, I still have less than 100 hours in Valheim and only played Minecraft when I was a kid, most of the time in Creative mode 😅

[lunar sapphire]

yeah, a pretty weird Spring season gang

I chose not to join it

[dreamy kiln]

no flowers for me

[merry pebble]

i mean... kinda? certain space cat recruited us 😄

[turbid pollen]

Do you guys think it's possible to optimize the way the game renders graphics? Especially the instances part.

[dreamy kiln]

for me minecraft is a creative game with survival aspects and valheim is a survival game with creative aspects 🙂

[turbid pollen]

May I ask in what way does Valheim get its creative aspects? Apart from building, that is obvious.

[dreamy kiln]

well u can be creative with building etc but u dont need to

[dusk cypress]

it's a beautiful open sandbox where you can mould the surrounding to your whims

[latent wraith]

It has building pieces and you can build pretty much whatever you want -

[pliant hatch]

You can kill the bosses in various ways and be very creative about how you do it......

[dreamy kiln]

thats a nice example

[odd marsh]

U can even snap lock building pieces

[turbid pollen]

That is really helpful, yes.

[dusk cypress]

i saw some guy kill ||yaggy|| with a bunch of wolves

[dreamy kiln]

the wolf pack

[merry pebble]

yeah, you can make absolutely massive army of wolfs, loxes or both 😄

[turbid pollen]

Lox could probably do too. I killed my first Lox the day before yesterday, goddamn they are tanky.

[merry pebble]

they sure are XD

[dreamy kiln]

dont appear in front of them 😄

[merry pebble]

but also nearly blind 😛

[turbid pollen]

I had to run to the nearest swamp and climbed a tree while shooting arrows at it, it eventually tried to run away but I chased it.

[dreamy kiln]

must be the hair 😄

[turbid pollen]

Not only that, a one star torch goblin nearly killed me with its 10.5+ damage per tick wtf

[dreamy kiln]

one shall not mess with star goblins 😄

[merry pebble]

its that they are chonky 😄 how could they see to the sides or behind + the hair ofc

[turbid pollen]

Dude, the Shaman's are no joke, those fireballs hurt! They hurt more than the Growths.

[fair cairn]

they are actually kinda prey animals so shouldnt they have good vision?

[dreamy kiln]

i try to pin them down from afar... 2 arrows and they drop flat 😄

[merry pebble]

they dont have much hp tho, normal stared fulings are worse imo 😄

[turbid pollen]

I did take them out first when I stumbled upon a camp, though in the next few in-game days, I aggro'd one without arrows as I ran out.

The berserker's are quite easy when you know how to parry.

I can't wait to progress even further. As of now I'm still pre-Moder.

And I'm taking a break from the game after playing for 90+ hours whenever I got the chance. I guess I got a little burnt out as I'm just watching Netflix xD

[dusk cypress]

yea valheim is a good game to have videos on your second monitor

[merry pebble]

that happens 😄 you will come back when you feel like it

[turbid pollen]

I love building though the instances limits how much I can build without going below 30 FPS, I'd love to show you my base if there is a channel that allows me to post images.

[merry pebble]

#screenshots or #building-screenshots 😄

[turbid pollen]

I can't wait to reach my goal of a powerful gaming PC in the next 5 months. It'll be a gift for myself on my birthday 😄

[turbid pollen]

Oh, thanks!

[dreamy kiln]

dont forget to get fast ram

i saw some discussions that it will help for valheim

especially Clock Latency

CPU/RAM (not amount but speed of RAM) > GPU in valheim, at least for me

[turbid pollen]

Of course, my budget is going to be almost 3000+

I'm either getting a 4090, 4080 or 4080 super, or a 7900 XTX. I'm not sure if I need a powerful CPU though, either i9 or i7 or maybe even a 7800X3D. I'm getting 32GB RAM and for storage I might go for 1-2TB. My monitor has to be 120hz 4k or 1440p.

I hope this will be enough for me to play larger titles such as Helldivers 2, Squad, and especially Valheim.

With Valheim, I'm hoping to get the full experience with its graphics and also finally being able to build larger structures without the constant stuttering when around your base.

Speaking of Valheim's graphics, does it support Raytracing?

[dreamy kiln]

cant answer about raytracing...

and ofc it always depends what rig you had before... but ive seen people changing from like 3070 to 4070 and wondering why for example valheim didnt increase in fps like they hoped for... since gpu isnt the bottleneck

[turbid pollen]

Anyway, here is my survival base #building-screenshots message

There is one more which is my starter home but that is from a tutorial I followed. This base is built by myself with the storage getting inspired from "Build an end-game storage house".

[dreamy kiln]

that looks fine to me... defintely should bother your new computer...

[turbid pollen]

GPU shouldn't be, it has to be either the RAM or CPU due to the way the game renders its graphics, especially instances.

[dreamy kiln]

usually up to 15000 instances should be ok... i get issues around 20k

to conclude the topic id would rather invest more into cpu and ram/mainboard than gpu since its easier to upgrade a gpu than the rest in my opinion... at least for valheim

[turbid pollen]

I'll get an i9 then, might aswell go all in with the rig I'm planning. Also great for future-proof.

[charred otter]

Found an iron gate inside a crypt, is it something special?

[dreamy kiln]

dont think so, can happen

[charred otter]

Is there something special there like a miniboss or whatever

[dreamy kiln]

no key is needed right?

[charred otter]

Or is it just a standard room?

[charred otter]

Not sure bcz I have the key on me, but it doesn't seem like it needs one

[dreamy kiln]

id say standard... but there are mini bosses on the map

[timid moon]

whats the best way to take out an abomination?

[pliant hatch]

Either with a weapon doing slash damage (like an axe) or using fire arrows.

Arrows will be pretty slow, though.

If you got a black forest nearby - and there's a troll in it - lead it in there to get some "help" / distraction.

[charred otter]

Cheesing it (if u r fine with that)

[timid moon]

cheesing it???

wth is cheesing

[charred otter]

Using certain mechanics to make it so you can attack it without the mob (abom in this case) being able to attack you back

[dense steppe]

[fair cairn]

why no option for higher

[charred otter]

What stuff requires iron for after-swamp things?

[dreamy kiln]

bad question 😄

[fair cairn]

some padded armor and i think other stuff

[dreamy kiln]

a lot still...

[drifting socket]

ahhh so we didnt explore any ashlands should be fine

[fair cairn]

yea... other stuff includes everything i dont know about lol

[fallen zephyr]

200+ is your largest category?! Pfft.

[bleak pewter]

Especially if we start anew

Existing character but new world

[fair cairn]

yea i have 500 hours and thats a lot but for here im on the lower end lol

[dreamy kiln]

i was once leading in hours 😄 since im playing since alpha... but now my 3000h are just mediocre 😄

[charred otter]

How much iron should I get, raiding my third crypt now, I think the first one had almost a chest of iron, second one had around 3 stacks

[azure yacht]

I thought polls were forbidden...

[fair cairn]

the only game where i have more than 2k hours is Warthunder with 5.1 k

[fallen zephyr]

We could find out if we asked everyone..

[fair cairn]

you will need more than three crypts for enough iron

[dreamy kiln]

i reached 1000h valheim 11 month before EA release 😅

[fair cairn]

well the mod aint doing anything about the poll so idk lol

[latent wraith]

That's cheating. :p

[dreamy kiln]

agree 😄

[fair cairn]

i wanna know how much hours the number 1 leading player with hours has in valheim

[dreamy kiln]

id say 5-6000+

and i guess thats even too low

[charred otter]

I already got most iron for swamp things from raiding 3 crypts (maxed armor other than cp, maxed mace, high lvl huntsman bow, maxed shield, almost maxed pick etc) so I am mostly concerned for how much Iron I'd need for things that are unlocked after swamp

[fair cairn]

idd guess more cause i have 5k in warthunder and thats not a game one can play for long

[dreamy kiln]

defintely keep a stock of 200-300 iron bars post swamp

[fallen zephyr]

Hrs also isn't a great indicator - Leaving yourself logged in overnight is doable.

[fair cairn]

are you playing on any resource modifiers?

[charred otter]

2x ye

[fair cairn]

yea 300 should be enough unless your a big stone builder than probably not

[charred otter]

Heard from a friend that 1x is super grindy and I don't have much time to play so ye (thinking about how much 1x would be and it seems so painful to grind resources)
