valheim-chat

[sharp raptor]

Perfect parry is key with soldiers so you can get behind them and wail on the thorax

[knotty schooner]

Youre a genius oml

[frigid gust]

Frostner and ice arrows help slow it down, too. And bonemass power.

[tepid prawn]

I like Mistwalker for soldiers

[frigid gust]

Sure. But before you get that or the fireball or ice staves...

[tepid prawn]

The first soldiers I killed I found a safe rock as they can't fly and killed them with A LOT of wooden arrows xD /hide

[sinful tundra]

yea he is

[idle marlin]

If I make a world with the public test build of ashlands will it be usable once the full release is out?

[brave snow]

i think If valheim developed faster it would be better.

[vocal rivet]

@brave snow It would be worse, because it would be buggy and rushed.

[urban fulcrum]

i guess it'd depend on what's getting cut back for faster speeds

but if they had a bigger team and they could manage it, that'd be the "healthiest" way to speed up heim

but like also, a little too late for that now lmao

[gilded pier]

Will a world not on the PTB work with the release of Ashlands?

[urban fulcrum]

Valheim will not regenerate explored Ashlands

if you avoid the Ashlands, it will not generate, you'll be safe

the boss stone will be smushed in kinda awkwardly tho

[hollow crag]

Fighting those sucks, they are so tanky, i always just fire away tons of my arrows on them, but there were one instance where i killed it with the spear in the infested mine beacuse i was down stair in the dungeon where the solider cant get through the stairs and i killed it by throwing my spear up and down through a small gap

[gilded pier]

Will it be like this if totally unexplored?

[urban fulcrum]

I mean the boss stone at spawn, not the one to find/summon him

it still works completely fine

[hollow crag]

Wait really..?

[gilded pier]

Ah, I see

[urban fulcrum]

Like, the one you hang the head on yeah

it just gets jammed in with the others

[hollow crag]

Thats sad cuz there's no way to avoid that

[urban fulcrum]

deep north is gonna be even worse, or if you have a pre mistlands world

[hollow crag]

f

i have a mistland world

[urban fulcrum]

it's not super obstructive, and it'll still work just fine, it's more just an ocd issue

[hollow crag]

Yea i cant take it if it looks too weird

[urban fulcrum]

well good news, you only have to go back once, unless you wanna change powers

[hollow crag]

true

[urban fulcrum]

but yeah, ashlands is cool, i'm curious on what'll pop up next

since they do a biome update, then a not biome update, etc

[knotty schooner]

is there a quick way to get black marble..

[tepid prawn]

Put on favourite music or something, beverage of your choice and grab the best pickaxe you can, otherwise there is devcommands. You can also teleport it which makes that grind much easier if you play with portals

[knotty schooner]

i have found sm stuff today

wtf is a dvergr rogue 😭

[empty sleet]

anyone know how close i can get to the ashlands before its conisidered "discovered"? trying to build a prep base for ashlands but dont wanna get too close and mess it up for the update

[half flower]

hi folks, I yesterday had a strange situation: I destroyed a ship and the things within storage disappeared without creating any storage containers. I never had this before. Even it was on ptr, my question is: does anybody know this problem? There was a graward beside the ship in this moment, but can this have any effects? I'm little bit confused ...

[vestal rampart]

From what I recall for Mistlands, I think the general distance is 500m, which is about how much you reveal on the map's fog of war (on a boat). I could be wrong, though...

[pliant radish]

LOL

I got the "They were bros, man" raid in the middle of my main base

but at the time I just so happened to have ||3 shielded skeletons so I just spammed fireball from a distance and they all died||

no harm done except a full broken walls

[oblique ember]

why cant flint axe break birch tree?

[half flower]

because it is designed so - get better axe later in game

[oblique ember]

how can i get better axe?

[half flower]

go on, detect metals and learn to smelter

[oblique ember]

i need to defeat second boss to unlock metal

[inner depot]

no you dont

you need to beat the first boss to make a tool to mine metal

then you need to explore the second area to find metal

[plush umbra]

Dude a stone golem interupting a fight with moder is the worst thing in this game and they wont stop spawning back

[inner depot]

place campfires around to block nearby spawns

they block spawns in the same radius as a crafting table

[oblique ember]

Can i mine metal in meadows?

[inner depot]

there is no metal in the meadows

[oblique ember]

What about black forest?

[inner depot]

there are 2 seperate metals in the black forest

[undone gulch]

black forest yes. You need the antler pickaxe (or better) to get either tin or copper.

[oblique ember]

is copper better than flint?

[undone gulch]

yes

[inner depot]

idk how many tools you can make from copper but bronze is made out of copper and tin and that is better than flint

[oblique ember]

Is there any specific areas to find copper in black forest or is it randomized?

[inner depot]

it just shows up, look at the ground and the tooltip will say copper deposit
tin spawns near water inside the black forest

copper deposit are huge rocks while tin deposits are small-ish silvery hunks of metal

[oblique ember]

Oh so i can find copper near water?

[inner depot]

tin near water

you need both copper and tin, thats how you make bronze

[oblique ember]

ty

[quaint pilot]

yo, anyone doing a new playthrough not on PTB???

[unkempt tendon]

you should ask in #valheim-public-test

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[indigo lintel]

Wallie, he(?)'s specifically asking for someone not on PTB. Anyways there's #1024264966712340510 .

[fair cairn]

should ask in #1024264966712340510 and check for none PTB players there

[jaunty rivet]

any idea on ashlands full release? spoiler dodging is getting hard everyones posting youtube videos/shorts of "things a wish i knew before ashlands"

[opal prairie]

Between now and 30 June 23:59:59, they have to iron out the bugs, make it stable and tweak it here and there.

[jaunty rivet]

dang T^T

[warm sandal]

i feel you have not been looking on youtube since the PTB came out 😄

[high tide]

if i originally played through xbox gamepass on pc and now tryna get the game on steam, can i transfer save data or nah?

[sweet bay]

considering the frequency of PTB updates, I'd say mid-May

[safe phoenix]

Is my Ashlands almost ready? 🙂

[loud valve]

No

[plush umbra]

i always bing mine to work haha

[exotic cradle]

[limpid zephyr]

my wifi restarts sometimes when i play valheim idk why (only happens when playing in a server)

[craggy tangle]

The ashlands have been in testing for about a week now and only 2 patches were needed to fix a few issues... other than that seems like testing is going real smooth. I think ashlands will be out pretty soon.

[vocal rivet]

There are still bugs to be fixed though.

[craggy tangle]

of course. I dont think it will take that long to get things ironed out. iron gate is working hard to give us a great game.

id almost be willing to bet that by the end of the first week of may ashlands will be out or around 90% ready to go.

[pliant hatch]

@warm sandal Update about the results of raiding that piece of plains near Hildir:
4 villages, 2 towers and one of those small staircases with a chest on top:
276 Black Metal; 410 barley; about 200 flax; 70-ish needle; 900-1200 gold (didn't even count that anymore); 25 Fulling, 3 Fulling shaman, 3 tar growth and 2 Deathsquito trophies; 70 deer hide (from destroyed buildings and tanning racks); 12 Lox pelt; 1 surtling core and 1 ancient bark from a destroyed bonfire; 3 coal (think from a shaman fireball); 200 wood; 37 lox meat.

I think I got enough resources from that biome to last for a while.
All I need now is more tar.
And I hate those growths.

[foggy glacier]

Nice haul.

[pliant hatch]

Thx.

Yeah, looking at it, I think there's even not much need to plant barley and flax to get everything you need.
And to think my first raid of another patch near that portal was giving me enough to craft and upgrade a BM shield and sword.
This is more than enough to last a while. Even after changing some of my chests to BM chests.

[torpid mango]

Opening when?

[craggy lantern]

Hello, when I enter F5 and then devcommands in the game, an error message appears. Is this no longer possible?

[pliant hatch]

It's still possible.
You can read all about it here:
https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Developer_console

[pliant hatch]

Opening what?

[torpid mango]

Chests

[pliant hatch]

You mean in the building menu?

[torpid mango]

Yeah

You know what? Have a great day

[pliant hatch]

iirc the moment you smelt your first piece of black metal scrap into black metal.

[livid wing]

I'm so confused lol.

[torpid mango]

I'm a confusing man in a confusing world

[azure yacht]

Bugs aren't the only thing that needs work.

So yeah, still a hopefully long way to go

[pliant hatch]

You're not the only one, believe me.

I got the feeling I need to work at my telepathic skills.
I mean, how could I otherwise have understood the question right away?

[torpid mango]

Idk don't ask me

[pliant hatch]

Mate, you pinged me multiple times, asking questions that can't be understood unless some mindreading is going on and the moment I was trying to answer that question it's a "You know what? Have a great day" as reply.

I dunno if that's normal where you're from, but it's quite impolite where I live.

If you like to have a question answered, start by writing the question down in the kind of English everyone understands.
And stop pinging people each and every time you want to reply to them; because that's bloody annoying as well.

[torpid mango]

I'm sorry then if I offended you in some way

[warm sandal]

Wow! you are by chance a bookkeeper? Impressive haul that is! And i am with you on "I hate those growth"

[pliant hatch]

Not a book keeper.
But I had separated the hauls from all those 4 villages, so it was kinda easy to check what I got.
I might be doing the same thing when clearing the plains near Yagluth. Not sure about it, however.

But in general I have been enjoying the plains a lot more now as I've done in my previous playthroughts. If it wasn't for those %$#%#$%@#$# 🤬 growths.

Fortunately Frostner is one of the right tools to deal with them. But even then.....

[livid wing]

Totally get that. I always find it fun to keep tabs on things.. games I play a lot I end up creating excel/numbers workbooks for to nerd out a bit extra about.

[warm sandal]

I am so looking forward to the plains... my favorite biome they are... except that bloody growth that is 😄 they should get lost in the mist and never be seen if you ask me 😄

[pliant hatch]

Sometimes I wish we could simply set them on fire. 🤔

[warm sandal]

I will not be able to play much with "jumpy Ilva" today - gonna be streaming on twitch later as I do every tuesday 😄 but first need to get me a decent rested buff with chatter and coffee

[opal prairie]

maybe with the new world modifier we can ^^

[livid wing]

I had my first run in with Growths yesterday, totally agree... they were really scary. I am a bit ambivalent to them though, as later in the session I got caught by a fuling party in the night, and I was fending them off on top of a rock. Halfway through the battle a Growth entered the battle and started fighting them for me, gave me enough time to swing the battle around

[pliant hatch]

Would be nice if we could destroy a tar pit that way.

I'm certainly going back to plains when I got the mistland fire staff and see what happens on a growth if I use that.

I also just realize I put an accidental Ashland spoiler in my "hauling report". 🫢

[warm sandal]

i did not realize that spoiler 😄 so all is good 😄

[hidden gorge]

well have I got news for you... (and you don't even have to wait for the ashlands)

[warm sandal]

oh and for sure getting lox meat is much much easier with a fire staff ask me how I know 😄

brb gotta restart my pc after finishing work

[hidden gorge]

its kinda crazy how good the firestaff is -- it's like the frostner of magic / ranged weapons

[pliant hatch]

Well, hauling Black Metal with a cart is a lot easier as walking back and forth with a smaller stack too.
What I did was simply putting all BM in a chest until the entire village was cleared, then collected the wood, build a workbench, build the cart and transferred everything with it.
Meant I only had to bring the bronze nails with me.

[warm sandal]

clever!

[pliant hatch]

pfff, being hunted event in the Plains.

Decided to do a "run Forrest, run!".

[urban fulcrum]

FWIW, you can roll when tarred

[urban fulcrum]

A hunted event in the plains was the closest I ever got to those pet wolf swarms

[pliant hatch]

I took out about 20 of them.
But boy, does that suck up the stamina.

[warm sandal]

yeah it does... and you are at odins mercy if your stamina runs out ...

[pliant hatch]

Nah, I had stamina pots and bonemass power.
And health pots.
Took me only one of each to survive.

[warm sandal]

i usually try to run near loxen to help fight off the onslaught if I can find any 😄

[pliant hatch]

I kinda lured them towards a few Fullings and a 'squito. Worked well although the Fullings were pretty fast overwhelmed.

Right, time to do the Exxon Valdez in reprise. 😄

[warm sandal]

debating if i should just rest for a bit or go kill some more wolves... have 3 silver veins cleared and each gave over 90 silver - so i am good with that for the time being...now need lots of wolfpelts and more obsidian, and would not mind some more crystal, have only 1 Window with glass as of now 😄

[pliant hatch]

Not dealt with Moder yet?

[warm sandal]

LOL in a root armor without a draugrfang? no sir... have to smelter all that silver first and get me decent weaponry and armor 😄 pickaxing silver goes faster then smeltering it 😄

unless you are willing to build a bazillion smelters and kilns (which i am not) 😄

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually using only one kiln / smelter and blastfurnace.
Drop wood in the kiln, use the coal from previous production to fuel the smelter, drop the remaining 5 in a chest. Add metal and smelt the stuff.
Once I got both smelter and blast furnace, I fill one and put the rest in the other one until I can use that too.
I've been smelting lots of tin / copper / iron while I was working at my tiny bit of Black Metal as well.

[warm sandal]

just how I am doing it ..fill everything up in the morning, and in the evening gives 20 bars a day and I can go and kill more stuff and haul more loot meanwhile 😄

[pliant hatch]

Fill in the evening, sleep, pick up and restock the two devices, do a lot of things during the day and in the evening it's rince and repeat.

[warm sandal]

jupp you get an amazing lot of smelting done if you stick to the routine --- also the farming 😄

[pliant hatch]

Farming is dito for me.
Plant, go do something else, harvest, plant 1/3rd of my harvest for seeds, do something else, harvest, plant seeds.
Works like a charm.

And as long as you work like that, the game won't be a grind.

[warm sandal]

i never found valheim to be especially grindy... it is about efficiency for me... it is not difficult to do a bit in the morning and evening and go wandering and hunting and looting all day... I dislike the usual fetch-quests in rpg much more... they are far more grindy to me than valheim ever was

[pliant hatch]

Or those escort quests where you spend 95% of your health potions to keep the one you escort alive. 🤦‍♂️

[warm sandal]

ugh yeah... so annoying if that npc tends to wander into any danger without waiting for you to clear the way first

[pliant hatch]

Aye.
Good thing the only things to escort in Valheim are Boars, Wolves and Loxes.
And the only things to fetch are your own materials.

[warm sandal]

i also never understood why some folks call valheim grindy and then go play games with enthusiasm where your only objective is to kill as much as you can to get as much money as you can t othen spend all that money to buy bigger weapons and go kill again - rinse and repeat... I mean... to each his/her/its own, but isn't that the essence of grind?

[pliant hatch]

I'm with you on that.
I've seen players complain on Valheim being too grindy and then spend 12+ hours in Elder Scrolls Online to clear the same dungeon over and over again to get that one specific item.

[warm sandal]

at least i had to clear 20 different dungeon to get that one cultist trohpy i needed 😛

[lyric field]

tbf, grinding for something tht makes you feel strong > grinding for something to make a home look dope to some people

[warm sandal]

everybody is entitled to his/her/its own way of having fun... I don't blame anyone... i just don't understand 😄 and I get a little miffed if someone playing such a game tells me that my favorite game is superlame and I should go play something decent 😄

[urban fulcrum]

Yeah a lot of the complaints that valheim is too grindy comes from builders

[pliant hatch]

Most complaints about Valheim being grindy I've seen are about harvesting copper and farming.

[warm sandal]

most of the complainers I know have given up on valheim after having pickaxed half a copper deposit 😄 they missed all the fun ... their own fault 😄

[pliant hatch]

Well, if you mine it from the top.......

[lyric field]

harvesting copper is aids

to be fair

[foggy glacier]

lol, I see it as harvesting stone. Copper is a by-product.

[warm sandal]

i always mine it from the top i can not be bothered digging it out... there are so many deposits around just take what is up top kill more dwarfs have more eyes and go to the next one 😄

[lyric field]

this xD

[pliant hatch]

First time I mined a copper node, I was like: "This can't be it, can it?"
So I kept mining and was like: "Oh, there's more hidden under the stone. Kinda like LiF:YO."

And frankly speaking, that game did have some serious grinding; as one ingredient was used for every high ql item.

Hah!
Made a new music connection to Valheim.

When going for tar and mining the trench to the tarpit: "Drain you" by Nirvana.

[warm sandal]

that's a good one... have not heard that in ages need go search on spotify and play it myself 😄

[inner depot]

That part of the game is honestly pretty rough

[pliant hatch]

169 tar from two pits and the growths I destroyed.
Not a bad haul, I think.

[plush umbra]

this playthrough I thought of connecting different parts of my house (farm, storage, bed) to my portal hub and so far it has paid off a lot in reduced travel time

[pliant hatch]

I've done farming in another game where you had to tend the field at least once every game day to get a good harvest.
In that same game, mining a copper vein could yield from 1 - if someone mined it before - to 10K of copper ore.
And if you had bad luck, that vein was only a 20ql vein, meaning it was pretty useless.

In another game you had to either remove the top of the soil before you could plant again, or use manure to fertilize it.

Looking at that, what happens in Valheim is pretty easy.

[pulsar peak]

Guys, any idea when Ashlands getting on stable branch ? thanks

[pliant hatch]

Somewhere between tomorrow and June 30th, 23:59:59.
Depends at the amount of bugs that are found and how quickly the devs can deal with them.
Mistland bugs not taken into account.

[plush umbra]

the atmosphere in this game really is amazing and i think the low res textures actually add to it by leaving some details for the brain to fill in

[hidden gorge]

"the essence of grind" to me obviously requires some sort of repetition -- but all games have repetition; "game loops" (ideally interconnecting ones) make up the core of the "game play". What makes grind grindy IMO is how interesting it is for the player to traverse those game loops. This can be subjective, but generally there should be some sort of novelty or challenge while performing a task -- the lack of which will contribute to tedium as it is not interesting and therefore "grindy".

Mining copper is a perfect example within valheim as it takes a very long time to fully harvest a single node. After your first bit of copper the novelty wears off quickly, and there's very little inherent challenge -- the danger from graydwarves can keep things interesting for a bit perhaps, but the constant waves also lose their novelty and challenge quicker than it takes to mine sufficient quantities of material -- which in turn makes it feel grindy to many people, especially those returning for multiple gameplays, as graydwarves just aren't a very challenging threat, and copper isn't challenging to mine -- the novelty is gone, so what's left to make it interesting?

[warm sandal]

sometimes I need to stop and just look at the beautiful llandscape...soooo pretty!

[warm sandal]

getting a chest full of greydwarf eyes and the occasional blue helper that comes by and helps you mine faster and get the wood you need on top 😄

[pliant hatch]

Always fun to be chased by a serpent when you don't have your harpoon with you.

[warm sandal]

but I understand fully that valheim is not for everyone... i just don't understand those complaining and then go play something subjectively even more grindy to my eyes 😄

[pliant hatch]

For me, each and every coppervein is a challenge to make it explode.

[warm sandal]

so satisfying 😄

[plush umbra]

i love the game but its only playable for me with drop rate mods for ores and stone/wood

[marble delta]

there a favored server host these days? Nitrado has really gone downhill, and GPortal doesn't host anywhere near me....

[warm sandal]

i am a dedicated vanilla gamer 😄 and I do not care if I have to go back 20 times to get a chest ful of iron because every dungeon is a little different in what you find and what enemies are there ... keeps me on my toes ... but as I said ... not everybody has the same preferences and so it is good there is mods and options to make it work for all who want to play 😄

[plush umbra]

theres fun to be found in that too, i agree. i used to play the game like that and enjoy, nowadays i no longer have the time to mine so many trees and rocks anymore

[pliant hatch]

Well, that's what the modifiers are for.
And I understand people want to use them, as getting some resources may take a long time before you have enough.

[warm sandal]

the only modifier I do use is "portal all the metal stuff" because I do not enjoy traveling the same way all the time to get stuff to base. I'd rather use that time to see more of the map and find new continents 😄

[unique onyx]

The games really not that grindy until you try to build in stone supported by iron wood, then I feel like it’s time for free build or 3x lol

[warm sandal]

like we said earlier... people who enjoy building a lot are more likely to find it grindy 😄 you are proof of concept now 😄 he he he

[pliant hatch]

Why do you think I stack the items I loot from a village in a chest in that village and come back with a cart later?
That way I can portal in loot everything, then transport the items to the portal and pick it up by boat later.
Means only one sailing trip to be done, instead of many.

[warm sandal]

I usually have my boat parked with a portal in explorer mode out there somewhere...and between mining sessions go sailing for a bit to switch things up and portal home all the stuff ... since i started to do that i see double of the map uncovered 😄 pleases me no end

[pliant hatch]

I've been doing that when looking for a swamp.
Will do that again when going to look for Yag.
Most likely just dock at the coast somewhere - mark my boat on the map! - and explore the entire continent.
And eventually having a central spot to pick up all the loot I gathered; although having a pocket portal for a while may be a good idea too.

[warm sandal]

i can not go out without my pocket portal... i have one "boat" portal usually on the shore with my boat and marked on the map so I can get the boat quickly if I need and my pp that goes everywhere with me 😄

[pliant hatch]

Previously I just checked for the most suitable boss location at Valheim maps and did the area around him / her.
So going out and exploring the continents like I'm doing now is a big step up for me.

Which is also kinda odd, because in other games ( coughSacred and Sacred 2 cough ) I loved exploring the entire map.

[warm sandal]

he he he ... i find it so satisfying to go see all the sights and valheim for sure has very pretty locations (so many that I always have a hard time deciding where I want to have a "forever home" ) 😄

[pliant hatch]

I think I was too focussed at getting the bosses killed instead of looking at the environment the game has as well.
I'm enjoying it a lot more now; but that has taken 7-8 characters - including one for MP that most likely will never end - before I began enjoying the game to the fullest.

[warm sandal]

for a time i was kinda in a speedrunner mode too... but taking it slower and enjoying the journey more is better in my opinion 😄

[plush umbra]

does backstab remove stealth status?

[pliant hatch]

Hmmm. "Dilemma".
Use my Lox pelt for a new cape or stick to the wolf one.
Still running in Fenris, so I think when it comes to "dress code" both will fit.

[unkempt tendon]

lox cape is just 🫶

[maiden granite]

Yes, since hitting once reveals your location and you get detected by the target.

[plush umbra]

I see, so that won't work with a group of enemies

[maiden granite]

It'll work if you are able to backstab one at a time and lure it away from the hoard

It works for loxes but doesn't works for fulings

[severe needle]

is it smart to only eat eitr food

[frigid gust]

It's high risk, high reward. You don't have much health or stamina so you can get rocked pretty hard if you get hit, but you'll have plenty of firepower

[fleet ingot]

does anyone else have Chests full of food, potions, and metals in preparation of ashlands?

[severe needle]

yea me

[frigid gust]

Copper and iron will again be useful 😉

[fleet ingot]

5 black metal chests full of stuff here

[empty sleet]

anyone know how close i can get to the ashlands before its conisidered "discovered"? trying to build a prep base for ashlands but dont wanna get too close and mess it up for the update

[severe needle]

I love cooking in valheim

[fleet ingot]

dont do that! land close to ashlands will sink into the ocean

[fleet ingot]

If you build a base make sure it is a decent distance away and not next to it

[frigid gust]

It has a pretty big buffer around the actual island area after the update, so you can get fairly close, but the whole area will largely just replace where the current area is, even the stuff that sinks

[severe needle]

oh my main mistlands is connected to ashlands

[frigid gust]

It won't be after the update 😉 Just stay away from the border and you should be fine.

[fleet ingot]

well if you have base there you better move your stuff before the update or it will sink into the ocean.

[severe needle]

bye bye beloved mistlands

do we have info about when the update will drop

[fleet ingot]

No, they are digging through bugs now should be within 2 weeks or so.

[severe needle]

Im so hyped

[frigid gust]

The stuff currently in the Mistlands will likely stay there, but the Ashlands extents will change. The current Ashlands stuff will sink into the sea and create a new border.

[severe needle]

someone else got a pixel block named ||queen drop after killing the queen||

[nocturne wolf]

That's a placeholder item that will be replaced by something new with the ashlands update

[frigid gust]

Yup. That has been there since the Mistlands release. It will be replaced when the game updates.

[severe needle]

thats what it is thanks

Ive got the feeling that ||seeker|| got nerfed

[frigid gust]

Not that I've seen. I don't think there were any changes to existing enemies or items.

Seekers were already nerfed at the release of Mistlands 😛

[bleak flax]

Does popping shields level blood magic?

[severe needle]

I think so

[frigid gust]

The wiki has all the gory details: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_magic_(Skill)

[hidden gorge]

I wish it was like blocking so every hit absorbed would grant xp, in addition to casting/popping

[tepid forge]

Any Xbox players wanna play valheim im looking for friends long term to play with

[frigid gust]

Best place for grouping up is #1024264966712340510

[solemn stone]

Whats the next biome they will be working on?

[severe needle]

i think Deep north

[solid portal]

Deep north

[severe needle]

are they planning on adding stuff to the previous biomes

[frigid gust]

From what I understand the current plan is to look forward and not back, and just keep working on new content and biomes, and after that's done then they'll look back at a rebalancing and reworking of anything from earlier biomes and such. So in the short-to-medium term, no, no major additions or changes to existing content.

[pliant hatch]

And that's something that shouldn't be posted here, but in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128 instead.

[maiden granite]

I hope those are not in the radius of the danger zone.

[maiden granite]

probably first complete all the biomes, release the game (currently in early access)
and then think about bringing new stuffs to previous biomes and makes changes like buffs and nerfs

[wintry geyser]

Is it smart to put 1.5x resource rate for a server? Last time ( a year ago ) we didn't have these options so asking for guidance.

Would it kinda balance out if I had combat on hard lets say.

[hidden gorge]

it is neither smart nor dumb. the only thing to balance out is your preferences, which noone here can tell you what the preferences of you or your players are

[maiden granite]

for me the best is to use the normal/default settings that you get without the world modifier tweaking.
For servers asking the server players would be better.

make a voting system and most votes will be selected to be used in the modifier

[wintry geyser]

I agree. I just don't know how much more resources is x1.5. I like to play on default aswell. Except the combat, that we want higher.

Some are new players, first timers. Don't want to ruin the game for them.

[vocal rivet]

50% more.

[maiden granite]

1.5x is like you'll get 15 wood from half log of a beech tree whereas you would've got 10 in normal

[wintry geyser]

for everything I assume?

[maiden granite]

This settings doesn't effects all loot tables, it only applies to certain resource drop values

[errant gulch]

can you build big stone buildings or will they just collapse

[maiden granite]

You can do that, but to make taller sky scrappers you'll need iron reinforcement inside the stone walls to make them stronger and avoid collapsing

[errant gulch]

how far can i get

[wintry geyser]

Cheers mate, then I will run default settings for the most part. If people want a change later on then I can tweak it a little.

[maiden granite]

I forgot but you can check youtube or other platforms via google, you'll find plenty of tutorials

[proper solstice]

Hello! Haven't been able to find the info so asking here. Will the PBT world's I work on now be available when Ashlands is released?

[frigid gust]

As long as you haven't explored the existing Ashlands area in your world, yes, it will roll forward.

[maiden granite]

They will work perfectly fine unless the devs have some surprises like "Nah, this was just a distraction, the actual ashlands is this(totally something new)"
This is just an example

[proper solstice]

Ah so if we are exploring it now, that world will break? We made copies for the sever and characters and was debating continuing our builds with the new materials and how hard we can go or if it will all be wiped

[maiden granite]

They'll be fine as long as current Update is valid and isn't therefore removed in the near future.

[frigid gust]

Everything in the current Ashlands area will be wiped, and any landmasses that are newly generated will be devoid of new content where you have previously explored

[proper solstice]

Okay, thank y'all.

[gleaming musk]

Current as in PTB or "vanilla"?

[maiden granite]

You are mixing stuff mate, PTB and stable are to compare as for vanilla goes with modded comparison

[frigid gust]

As in vanilla/mainline current release. If you go down to the Ashlands in the current release and build something, with the update terrain generation will likely break anything you build. Furthermore, those areas will also be devoid of new content as they will count as explored, so not only will you lose all buildings and such, but you will also lose out on POIs that are sparse and critical.

[gleaming musk]

I meant stable, thats why i used the " cause I didnt remember exact term

[maiden granite]

oh

[fleet ingot]

if you google "valheim ashlands map" the 3rd picture on google images is of the NEW ashlands map generation. @severe needle

It shows how anything close to the old ashlands will sink into the sea

[snow trellis]

why do cooked eggs suck

[half dragon]

because it's a very low effort food

to make good food you need multiple ingredients

[snow trellis]

then why is cooked chicken meat so much better

[ember panther]

More egg recipes would be nice... Like an omelette or something

[bleak flax]

You mean like the existing omelette recipe?

[rigid inlet]

do u need root chestplace for ashlands?

[merry pebble]

no

[ember panther]

Oh yea, totally forgot about the mushroom omelette

It's okay I guess.

[hidden gorge]

they're missing out on important ingredients, like bacon

[ember panther]

Mm yea bacon n eggs would look nice.

I use cooked egg just as a display food

[arctic salmon]

So I hate to ask but is there like any sort of ETA for when ashlands comes out of the test branch? My buddy doesn't wanna play till it is and I'm itching to regardless

[pliant hatch]

Can be anytime between tomorrow and June 30th, 23:59:59.

It all depends at the amount of bugs the testers find and how long it'll take the dev's to deal with them

[arctic salmon]

Where'd you pull June 30th from?

End of spring or something?

[pliant hatch]

Nope.
Smiffe has said "first half of 2024", which ends at June 30th.
He also said there will be no delays. So that day is the last possible day it can be released.

[arctic salmon]

Well if its only that logic then I'd assume with the way they've been going probably more like mid May

[warm sandal]

i do lilke the lox cape better with the Fenris armor 😄

and am glad to be back to typing after talking for nearly 4h now 😄

[pliant hatch]

I can imagine. Was hard for me sometimes to not type all kinds of advise and something.
Problem if the one watches is playing the game as well.

You did well though.

[warm sandal]

Thanks a lot... Freydis is still a newbee to the 10th world... so much to do and setup and getting done... 😄 but you can type all the advice you want, and we can discuss me talking you typing what would be better 😄

My playstyle is a little haphazard I think... but I usually do not die to to much 😄 he he he

even at 1700h in the game, there is much to be learned from fellow Valheimians 😄

[pliant hatch]

I dunno if "better" is the right word.

You got a different play style as I have, that's for sure.
And I like to keep it like that, as I may learn from your play style.

[warm sandal]

you right...different is the better word here... I do things often in a more.. shall we say "don't care to much about it - we'll get there eventually" 😄

[hidden gorge]

I like to use "cavalier" for describing my playstyle 😛

[warm sandal]

hm... i can not picture anything that would qualify as "cavalier" .. can you elaborate a bit more?

[hidden gorge]

specifically definition 2:
adjective
Carefree and nonchalant; jaunty.

[pliant hatch]

I'm usually very organized when I do things.

I plan my house right from the start and only build what's needed until I get stone.
Same with the fields, the boar pen, the wolves and so on.

But the moment I'm out to gather resources - even that's planned - I'm also the one killing everything in sight, only to discover too soon I'm out of inventory space.

And thus as a result, I've spending your entire stream by replacing my reinforced chests for black metal ones.
But with that done and everything stocked where I want it to be, I got plenty of time to do other things.

[warm sandal]

Well that poor gal Freydis has the same indecision as me has... it took me 3 Episodes to decide where to build a First base in wood ... lol usually i do not wait that long... but that world I have there ist a little shall we say void of fantastic building spots on the starter Island

LOL so the stream kept you entertained a bit whilst you were sorting through heaps of stuff to make it all neat and tide...glad to hear that

[pliant hatch]

I did that "well organized".
Crafted a cart, moved everything in a cart, demolished the chest, build the new one, moved everything back.
Works like a charm. 😄

[unreal thunder]

[rotund dust]

Starting a Perma - Very Hard server yet again, I want to complete this before Ashlands - Yet struggling ha - Any tips? XD

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t played very hard so I can’t give much other than use jump attacks if you aren’t already, since that should work well on all difficulties.

[frigid gust]

Try... uhh... not dying? 😛 I got nothin', I barely feel competent on normal.

[rotund dust]

Yeah sometimes its simple things like jumping off my building without food and dying (Thats how last one died after spending 11 hours gathering wood/building) 😂

[frigid gust]

Srsly though, the only advice I've seen people have with that kind of setup is to just ignore any kind of shield or parrying and get good at rolling out of attacks and stamina management

[rotund dust]

Can beat most things with my fists, by rolling/attacking, sometimes a lack of concentration for a moment can end everything 😂

[frigid gust]

Sounds about right for that kind of world 😉 Good luck!

[umbral tapir]

Hey everyone! concerning the beta mode of ashlands. Is there recipes for the player to make ? (such as work bench, armour, weapons and so on)

[nocturne wolf]

Talk about public test in the right channels so nobody here gets spoilers

[white owl]

just came back to the game today after a few months, does shift clicking to take and place items from chests not work anymore?

[vocal rivet]

Of course. It's a new biome. But yes, in the PTB channel please.

[nocturne wolf]

You’ll need to go to the channels and roles page at the top of the channels list to unlock the testing channels

[echo coyote]

why does my game say unable to sync when I try to play

[vapid jay]

steam jsut went down

[echo coyote]

bet js realized that

[dusky creek]

Hey! I haven't played in a while and want to be able to play the new update around when it comes out. How long (in hours probably?) do we think it takes to take down the mistlands boss?

I'm pretty confident in my ability to fight and prepare so it probably wouldn't be too much running back to my grave

[tulip geyser]

Are there gonna be sieges? If so i can't wait to return to the game! Trailer looks amazing

[vapid jay]

solo? from scratch? with the best preparation you will still need a day or two of grind id think to beat the queen IMO and thats if youre sharp as a tack 20-30 hours of prep is my guess

[vocal rivet]

I don't think the boss will take 30 hours...

[vapid jay]

from scratch playthrough to queen defeat solo?

[snow trellis]

can stone ovens still work even if surrounded by smoke?

[dusky creek]

Yep!

[dusky creek]

so let's say 40 or so hours total because I'm not that great. Does that seem reasonable

[vapid jay]

if you have tenacity and dont cheat id be shocked to see a faster run through. but im not great gamer too but it took me and my buds about that long to really get established within the mistlands comfortably

[dusky creek]

Noted. Hopefully I reach that gamer godhood you speak of. Thanks!

[vapid jay]

np best of luck 🙂

[icy jay]

Any word if they are going back and polishing early game?

[loud valve]

If you know what tool upgrades and resources you can skip, I'm sure it can be done faster

[nocturne wolf]

Nothing on that right now, but what do you think needs polishing?

[vocal rivet]

I'd imagine so closer to launch.

[green shard]

is it only me that noticed that deer cape instead of flaying around as you run and jump its weirdly stuck to your back?

[snow trellis]

they ever plan on making an update that makes the game less laggy

[vocal rivet]

They can't do much for other people's machines.

[snow trellis]

well i can manage about 220 fps

but with my base (its not even that big yet) being at 12k instances, its dropping to about 30-40

and yeah i think they CAN do much for other people's machines

[nocturne wolf]

If your base doesn’t reduce the amount of digits in your fps it isn’t big enough

[snow trellis]

yeah but i've barely even started and its going to be unplayable before i even get half way done

[visual tapir]

ngl

the difference between mistlands and all hte other biomes is crazy

is that after the game started popping off or sum

[odd helm]

It is the start of endgame

[visual tapir]

i mean the biome itself

[odd helm]

if you look at it from afar

[plain crescent]

voice chat

[hidden gorge]

what is the crazy difference?

[plain crescent]

cant hear anyone

[visual tapir]

much more added

[hidden gorge]

all the biomes are pretty unique in their own way

[visual tapir]

feels alot more polished

might just be a cooler biome overall but i feel like it looks better too

mobs are alot less simple

[plain crescent]

When i join voice chat. i can not hear anyone! SOS SOS

[hidden gorge]

you need the graydwarf role

not an SOS

[plain crescent]

OK, removed my own m essage for a nswer

[odd helm]

Greydwarf role is no longer a thing

[plain crescent]

SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS SOS

[merry pebble]

the greydwarf role is no longer needed for that, and the bot is not functioning anymore

[odd helm]

Stop that

[merry pebble]

and bye bye to you...

[loud thicket]

aggressive

lol

[hidden gorge]

I take issue with that; I'm quite an intelligent duck

[thin sonnet]

I'll send an SOS to the world

[outer oxide]

Any guesses as to when Ashlands will reach full release?

[azure yacht]

No

[slim imp]

guesses? always yes, people can guess all they want. Know based on accurate info? No

mistlands release from PTB was measured in weeks, I don't remember how long anymore, 1, 2?

[vocal rivet]

It was 2. But this is not Mistlands.

[hidden gorge]

it's the ashlands, it can't just cook -- it has to burn and turn to ash before its ready. that might take a bit of time, noone knows

[inner depot]

My personal suspicion is like 1 month from now

Its an entirely uneducated guess and i dont really care when it comes out

But thats what i am currently learning towards

[snow trellis]

does cpu matter for this game

[pliant void]

Hey what's up ppl!? Looking for homies that play this game

[ruby pike]

a little... Valheim is a mediocre cpu usage & kind of intense on graphics unless you turn the settings down

My dedicated server doesn't even use 3% of the CPU with 20 players online.

[snow trellis]

oh, its eating my cpu and doing almost nothing to my gpu

and a friend said that its single threaded

[ruby pike]

That's weird... I have an old crappy i5 and CPU is around 60%

[pastel bay]

is international?

[snow trellis]

its using 40% cpu and 30% gpu, but my frames are barely hitting 40

[hushed bay]

its the opposite for me, my cpu is 20% and my gpu is 100%

still 80 frames tho

[ruby pike]

Right, ya. I dont know why @snow trellis is having CPU issues.

I checked Task Manager and CPU from Valheim is using 40%

🤷‍♂️

[hushed bay]

although my cpu is probably fine bc i have a pretty good one

everything on my computer is relatively new except for my gpu, which is a 1050 ti

[snow trellis]

im only at 12000 instances, my base is literally 3 buildings and some chickens and wolves

it was ok at first, the more i built, the lower the fps got, but only a bit

but once i hit around 60, more building just started dropping it until now its like 33

[grim topaz]

Curious, if I set up a community server with a password, can my friend and I play on it together or separately?

Or is that only achievable with a dedicated server?

[frigid gust]

That's only with a dedicated server. Community just means it can be seen in the list.

[tight yacht]

is ashlands released?

[grim topaz]

Ahhh. That sucks. Thanks for the response tho.

[frigid gust]

No. It's only in beta, we're still finding bugs in it. You're welcome to help if you want, but there are some known issues so if you just want to play the game it is better to wait.

[tight yacht]

thanks homie
im super excited for it, gave this game a break for like a year but i rememberedhow much of a gem it was

[barren fox]

Setting up a dedicated server is pretty easy and doesn't use a lot of resources, it just requires the computer to be on all the time

[grim topaz]

They are usually a paid service, no?

[vivid gust]

yo if i start a ashlands beta server will there be any issues when the update is realesed? sorry if this has been asked alot lul

[vocal rivet]

Not for one you set up yourself.

[vocal rivet]

https://www.valheimgame.com/support/getting-ready-for-the-ashlands/

[vivid gust]

Oh sick thats a bunch!

[grim topaz]

I apparently need to do some research…

[pure ore]

I'm having fun now.

[odd helm]

No spoilers outside PTB channels, folks

[upbeat mortar]

hello

[unique pumice]

when is the ashlands planned to be released officially?

like not the testing one

[frigid gust]

Once it gets done with testing and the discovered bugs and issues are fixed. Only hard promise is by June 30

[feral niche]

Its releasing April 31st

Why isn't there a fuling troll face emoji? I feel like that would be so fitting

[frigid gust]

What's a Fuling troll?

[feral niche]

...

No, like a fuling, but its face is the troll face

[upbeat mortar]

is this a good game to find a party for co-op and vc?

[frigid gust]

It can be. We've got the #1024264966712340510 channel, as well as lots of vc channels you can use

[tame mirage]

How do y'all pronounce ||dvergr||? (mistlands)

[feral niche]

https://youtu.be/eehjBGZ5FwA

[upbeat mortar]

ok, thanks!

[inner loom]

is ashlands actually out or nah?

[halcyon thistle]

out for testing, yes

[inner loom]

so is it safe to say it wont be long till the actual release?

[halcyon thistle]

not safe around here, because we don't like spreading rumors and speculating estimate times quickly turns into "official release date" in the wrong hands

but I wouldn't wait for the actual release, just play it now 😄

[inner loom]

nah

[halcyon thistle]

very polished, I haven't found anything major while playing

plus you can give feedback on how you like the stuff while they are open to changing it

[eternal cosmos]

If the next update is for the deep north then my suggestion is, polar Bears that can be ridin

[rain flare]

I’d say there is one major troll problem, but that should be fixable fairly easy

[half dragon]

a lot of problems are harder to fix than it looks. Otherwise a lot of games wouldn't have "simple fix" bugs just lying around for months or years while "harder to fix" bugs get fixed

[rain flare]

The infamous spagetti code - change this here and it breaks 10 other things elsewhere

So how do we fix or mitigate this thing without breaking the other 10 that are working right now?

[jovial kernel]

The Bees are happy

[broken heron]

The bees need more open space

[half dragon]

Instructions unclear, a forest burned down

[broken heron]

The bees are sleeping

will we ever get achievements on the xbox preview version of valheim? just wondering cause I like to see how much time played etc

[shrewd compass]

hi, whether raspberries etc. are being regrown in the same places from the bushes ?

[half dragon]

yes, berries regrow in that very same bush as long as you or something else doesn't destroy it

It does take a while though

[shrewd compass]

ok thx bro

mushrooms too?

[broken heron]

yea they respawn at the same place 4 hours after they are picked

[shrewd compass]

Thank you very much

[broken heron]

no problem

[half dragon]

how are you suppossed to hit yagulth without being guaranteed to get damaged in return???? First need to dodge barrage of different skills... good it's finally not trying to kill me. But it's sitting in that god damn fire it created earlier!

[warm sandal]

barley wine get drunk on barley wine... 😄

[half dragon]

that doesn't really help... even with the wine losing more health than getting back from food, even with rested bonus.

even using medium health mead every time I get a chance.

not taking many hits, but that passsive fire on the ground keeps screwing me over

(after using the skill)

[warm sandal]

what food are you on and what armor do you use?

[half dragon]

maxed padded, lox pie, fish wrap and bread

[warm sandal]

I usually use the fenris as yagluth does more fire damage and lightning damage the real physical (he does that to but to a lesser degree)

[half dragon]

forcing you to stand in the fire just to get a few hits back is just not a good design...

[warm sandal]

the extre fire proof on the fenris does help me personally a great deal

[half dragon]

not even Dark souls/elden ring is that diabolic

[warm sandal]

i never have trouble get yagluth down... moder is my nemesis though 😄 so what I found is every boss needs a different strategy..

[half dragon]

problem isn't getting it down, but wasting masssive amount of time running around not getting any hits in

[warm sandal]

oh so you just complaining that you are not getting him down fast 😄 that is a different case then...go on complaining no advice needed then 😄

[half dragon]

bruh. and you complain about people being toxic?

[warm sandal]

lol that was meant as a joke hence the smiles... me gonna be here and listen to your complaints any day 😄

i just 20 min ago paid a 5% fee for not managing my stamina as I should 😦 damn wolves 😄

[half dragon]

my buildings demand the 5% occasionally for forgetting to refresh that food buff

they're getting built literally with blood and sweat

[warm sandal]

me is the forgetful player too... gotta be reminded to USE the bonemass buff 😄 and falling off heights I have done my fair share too...

back to the mountains need that wolf armor to get the fenris not wanting to enter frostcaves being flamable as I am now

[severe needle]

Can you breed wolves

[half dragon]

grinded that fenris set in root armor since couldn't bother to make another set of armor. somehow didn't die in the process of grinding fenris set

too many close calls tho

[warm sandal]

yes you can breed wolves 😄 they are fun

much more fun than swine me thinks

[severe needle]

what food do they need

[half dragon]

meat, except not wolf meat

probably has to be raw too, but haven't tried cooked

[warm sandal]

blerg... golem fight an it starts to snow like mad... not gonna do that 😦

[gray fractal]

Hello, do you know where the post is located where Irongate announces the 1.0 after the Ashlands? I can't find it.

[warm sandal]

there will be no 1.0 after the ashlands...as there is still deep north to be developed at least that is what I know... never heard or read differently.

[meager fossil]

Hello brothers and sisters 🔥

[gray fractal]

I've seen on several news websites and Reddit posts that Irongate wanted to release the 1.0 after the Ashlands, but I haven't seen anything from Irongate itself, so I was asking the question here to find out if it was just rumors or not.

[warm sandal]

I follow the news irongate releases all the time and never read anything about 1.0 after ashlands... so i guess it is just rumors

[meager fossil]

I doubt it. Pretty sure 1.0 will mark the release of the last biome

[half dragon]

but to be fair, every update after Ashlands is after Ashlands 😂

For all we know Deep north could be the 1.0 update, or it could be an update after it

But either way, a bit too soon to start speculating when Ashlands isn't even entirely out of the gate just yet

[candid cloak]

hey guys, i have a question. i want to start a new journey and thinking of starting now. would you think its a good idea to progress abit, or might i miss some new stuff from the update.

[half dragon]

very doubtful they're going to add anything significant to older biomes in an update for the new biome. But to get a certain answer to that will have to ask in PTB channel

[warm sandal]

as far as is known if you do stay clear of the ashlands you will not have trouble... the new content will be there once the update is released... just do not explore any ashlands territory ... it is what I am right now doing ... playing up to the mistlands and hope the update comes before I am ready to defeat the queen 😄

[candid cloak]

where can i find the PTB channel?

[candid cloak]

many thanks for the answer. i might do the same then

[half dragon]

there's link to that in pins

don't click... obvious scam

[candid cloak]

yeah thought so too 😄

[half dragon]

can never really trust links on discord, especially when it comes out of nowhere randomly

[warm sandal]

wheee my wolf pelt situatione is no good... but with nasty weather in the mountains for two days straight i will go sailing meanwhile and hope for the best 😄

[candid cloak]

thanks, got it

[cold venture]

is Ashlands still very bugy or almost done

[half dragon]

herd there's not many bugs atm

[warm sandal]

Okay need to make life easier for myself..will bring iron maze AND frostner to the mountains... frostner ist no good against the golem and they keep popping up like mushrooms in fall

[half dragon]

Golem sees a mace: PANIC!
The mace is frostner: Relax
The player pulls out the other mace: PANIC!

[warm sandal]

LOL... i mean you can get rid of them with frostner it just takes 2x the time which gives the wolves and draks a fair chance to get a go at me 😄

[foggy glacier]

I don’t even bother with Frostner hardly at all any more. I’ll go straight from iron mace to porcupine once I get Moder

[warm sandal]

i am quite weak still with this character and can use the slowing effect 😄 so frostner 😄

[foggy glacier]

Can’t argue with the slow. I love frost arrows

[jovial kernel]

Would anymore be willing to give me access to the Cape and hood of Odin?
I m working on a Valheim Museum and these are the only 2 things I can’t get

[lunar sapphire]

To display would be the only thing you can do with it. Should be able to spawn it in with commands.
You just wouldn't be able to wear the pieces

[jovial kernel]

(I doubt spawning it in via cheats would work)

[jovial kernel]

Ah that’s perfect. Thanks. Exactly what I need 🙂

[maiden badge]

Hello, anyone know if the old boar/wolf and chicken breeders from Mistlands still work in the Ashlands PTB?

[craggy mason]

valheim should have a little feeder thing for when you raise animals

[safe flower]

Can’t see why not

[craggy mason]

I don't like dropping food on the ground, picking it up by accident later and having to redrop it

[maiden badge]

Specifically this breeder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF0XH7mMRhk&t=142s

[pliant hatch]

That's something you better ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 or perhaps in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/831071697817305128 as it's about both mods and the Ashlands PTB.

[maiden badge]

Well i wouldnt say its about mods, seeing as the breeders are built and work in vanilla. I was asking in here, because i dont have access to the PTB channel, as im trying to avoid spoilers.
I was just planning the layout of my base and was wondering if i could use the same breeder as i did pre Ashlands

[pliant hatch]

It's likely they work, but I won't give the guarantee it does.

[merry pebble]

you can gain access by going to id:customize and selecting "i want to be a public tester" role 🙂

[supple jasper]

the lag is real in medium bases

waht am I looking for here? CPU upgrade, right? I'm on a 3700X

[vocal rivet]

Only in baae of 10-12k instances or more.

[supple jasper]

I'm looking at a 2 floor house with crafting stations up to ashlands + crops and a wall around it

feels like constant frame drops

[warm sandal]

found a vegvizr to a moder location ... but by far not up to that task...will go take a look though if it is a good place to fight that beast 😄

[warm current]

hey guys, where can I buy chicken eggs?

I looked at the sack icon shop didnt have them

[warm sandal]

you need to defeat yagluth first and then he will have eggs

[warm current]

ahh

[warm sandal]

but you should stock up on money...they are very expensive 😄

[warm current]

do they breed or is it cash for every single?

[half dragon]

they do breed, but gotta get 2

[warm sandal]

you need two to start breeding them

[frigid gust]

You can also get like 5 eggs "free" in the lowest level of a Sealed Tower...

[merry pebble]

there are 2 in each tower i believe 🙂

[warm sandal]

yeah... if you up to the task to fight your way through 😄

[smoky quarry]

*how hard can it be? *

[crude trellis]

famous last words

[warm sandal]

well... you will manage with plainslevel gear and skills and then suffer the consequences 😄

I don't want to spoiler so I will say no more if not specifically asked 😄

[frigid gust]

I'm pretty sure I got more... but I could be mistaken

[warm sandal]

or let me put it under a Spoiler tag || You will get a new raid from the moment you defeat the miniboss there ||

[merry pebble]

so far everyone i did had 2 iirc 🤔 will go check

[azure yacht]

Mini boss dungeons are meant to be explored with gear that's one tier above the biome you encounter the dungeon at

[hidden gorge]

heresy!

[silver fulcrum]

I'm wondering whether to start a server on public test or not. My friends and I want to make a new world for Ashlands but we don't know if there is any "pre-biome" content such as new furniture that we would miss on a regular client before update hits

[azure yacht]

99% of the update is for the biome only so not worth it that's literally the only or main reason to do it

[merry pebble]

just checked all three sealed towers in one world and all had 2

[frigid gust]

Hrmph. Wonder if that's a recent change. I could have sworn I had more.

[half dragon]

I went through a good amount of plains fully and haven't seen one of those towers yet. Oh well

[merry pebble]

idk either, i just always found 2 😄 (but its true i didnt go to hildirs dungeons untill prety late after the update so could be changed down the line 🙂 )

[foggy glacier]

You need to find Hildir and look at her map table. They'll pop up on your map after that.

[warm sandal]

//not flameable anymore ... now we can go see about those cultists 😄

[rustic plume]

Guys, Lox's only appear as 0 stars right?

[broken heron]

yea

ive summoned a 2star one with dev commands they are scary

[rustic plume]

Lmao xD

Was asking just for taming one, thought 2 star would be a better idea but if there isn't, well...

[broken heron]

yea it would be awesome

always got myself a 1 star wolf, was never lucky enough to survive and tame a 2 star

[pearl willow]

Holes with trap floors make it easier.

[broken heron]

I usually just dug a hole but getting them to that hole was tough without dying

[shrewd compass]

whether iron is reborn in the crypts?

[foggy glacier]

sadly no. just explore more swamp

[trim flame]

so my current world would be upated just fine?

[ebon mica]

any way i can unaggro the dwarves?🤣 feckers are going at me like i stole their stuff

[azure yacht]

As long as you don't go near ashlands before the update yes

[lunar sandal]

I see the steam banner changed - is Ashlands live?

[azure yacht]

No

[supple crane]

But... ya DID steal their stuff! Can't help it they hold a grudge....

Bet'cha nebber thought they would get all bent out of shape over a bit of resin.

[vocal rivet]

You good?

[frigid gust]

The only way to unaggro them is to kill them, unfortunately. But it's just that one group.

[frigid gust]

I think he was responding to the same person I did

[supple crane]

Yeah... I was trying to figure out the reply @ bit

@vocal rivet Got it

[merry pebble]

you can just hover over message you want to reply to and on the right you have little arrow that says "reply" 😉

[supple crane]

Ahh... that works, too

[junior gull]

is it normal to have to raid 12 fuling caps to get 22 flax?

[frigid gust]

Yup. You only need one, you can grow it in the plains like any crop.

[junior gull]

no i mean, it took me 12 camps to find any flax at all

[errant magnet]

quick question. will I have to start a new world when the update comes out ? i havent explored a lot of my curent world yet

[frigid gust]

Yeah, it can be rare. I've had similar luck with barley on some playthroughs.

[frigid gust]

As long as you have not gone down to the Ashlands, you should be fine. Stay away from the deep north as well to prolong your world's life.

[errant magnet]

well I wouldnt mind to start a new but my girlfriend would stop playing probably because i barely managed to get her into the game 😄

[half dragon]

as long as the north and south are unexplored there should be no problems

and even if small area of them is explored, rest of the biome still works fine... but probably not going to connect nicely to rest of the biome

[hidden gorge]

it's happened to me before as well. sometimes you just get really unlucky

[cursive bane]

Any tips to collect all the tar
Without destroying the landscape ? ( Or at least let the location look natural and not obliterate)

[hidden gorge]

you just need to dig a channel into the side to let it seep out

[frigid gust]

You can build the land back up afterwards, but just dig a single channel.

[lone sparrow]

Hey all o/ I'm totally new and was curious if anyone had a link to a good beginners building guide?? Or should I just YouTube it and check a bunch.

[cursive bane]

But the liquide tar continue there

[hidden gorge]

?

[cursive bane]

When you raise up the terrain, the tar raise too

[hidden gorge]

a channel is when you dig down -- you dig down and let it drain out

[cursive bane]

YouTube have a lots of it 👍

[cursive bane]

I Know but after i drain out , i want let the terrain all flat without ugly channel

[frigid gust]

Then you're in for a lot of digging 😉 tar is a blight on the landscape anyway. I think you can use the "grassen" function of the cultivator to clean some of it up though

[cursive bane]

I Will figure it out 👍Ty.

[lone sparrow]

So are public servers alot more fun than running on a solo world??

[vocal rivet]

There are no public servers.

[lone sparrow]

Sorry I think I should have said Community

[azure yacht]

That's like asking which one is the best videogame/music genre/film/way of playing something...

Completely subjective, everyone will tell you different opinions. Just try it yourself and see

[vocal rivet]

Oh, then it depends on who you end up with. Some people have a great time, others end up in a completely toxic server. It's really recommended to play with people you know.

[lone sparrow]

Thanks for the advice. It's appreciated

[uncut bough]

man it feels sad not being able to play valheim till Ashlands drops in official server

[vocal rivet]

Why can't you?

[uncut bough]

the only character of mine is now banished to vacation in Hellheim, so you say it takes when Ashlands drops officially to make him return

so i am now out of the game, for a while. And i don't feel like spawning a new character in a new world grinding from nuthin

[broken heron]

yea im waiting till official release too

hopefully its soon and bug free

[ebon mica]

going through 3 whole mistlands biomes just to find nothing is a real pain

[broken heron]

find nothing meaning no infested mines,

?

[ebon mica]

yeah

[broken heron]

i see, i just ended up using the valheim seed website to find the best mistlands and id just go to it for convenience. I didnt do it on my first playthrough but I do now just to save the annoyance

[smoky quarry]

whats a the best mistlands

theres no best mistlands cause flying doom flea

[marsh ocean]

i know this question has probably been asked time and time again but, if i have my current world that is not on the test branch could i still use that world when the ashlands update hits

[broken heron]

yea the mistlands is hell id just go to the biggest one with the most infested mines and skulls

[vocal rivet]

Absolutely, as long as you've not explored much of Ashlands.

[marsh ocean]

@vocal rivet I have not explored it at all since i am still on the normal patch. Good to know, thank you!

[plush umbra]

question for smoke, whats the minimum gap for smoke to escape, is 1m height enough?

[scenic flicker]

Pretty sure 1m is good enough. don't know the exact specs tho

[smoky quarry]

really depends on how easy it is to escape

[peak sequoia]

ASHLANDS WHEN?

[scenic flicker]

seems like smoke isn't as big as a problem as it used to be 👍

[smoky quarry]

smoke is good for you, has vitaminz

[plush umbra]

like this enough? #screenshots message

[scenic flicker]

oh yeah thats way plenty

[plush umbra]

cool, thanks

[fierce trout]

Hey ppl, is it normal to receive a swamp invasion in plains? There are no swamp next to them. It was freaky dangerous xD

[frigid gust]

Like, the actual raid event? There's a "Foul smell from the swamp" raid that can happen almost anywhere once you get it unlocked.

[fierce trout]

Yeah, exactly.

Thank you, I suppose that you only can receive raids from the same biome

[frigid gust]

Nope. Each raid does have specific biomes it can occur in so you won't get a "You are being hunted" outside the plains or mountains, but most of them can occur across many biomes. The foul smell one can happen in any biome other than the Mountains, Mistlands or Ashlands for example.

The wiki has detailed info if you care 🙂

[fierce trout]

Perfect, I will take a look

thank you very much!

[bleak flax]

Is there a way to permanently remove an area of mist via dev commands?

[molten cave]

with commands i doubt it with mods yes

[frigid gust]

I think it's something like forcedelete 50 Mistarea where 50 is the radius, but it can have some significant performance impacts with overuse and there's no way reasonably to undo it aside from restoring from a backup, so be careful using it.

[bleak flax]

Thanks, I'm sure the actual command will pre populate in the cmd window now that I know what to look for. I only need a small area clear so I plan on moving the world save from my server to local, make the change, then put it back on the server

[lyric cairn]

Anyone know when is the oficial launch ?

[azure yacht]

Nope

[merry pebble]

when devs are happy with the state of ptb version 🙂

[drifting spear]

I got a 2 star Boar farm running. I have never had so much meat

its been slow, but im up to 5 boars now. lots of culling. Jerky and sausages for the win

[plush umbra]

wait you can change snap points? i would have loved to know that before spending 100 hours on this house

[vocal vale]

I wonder if there’s a hugin hint about it

[ember panther]

Yeah I only realized 400hrs in. But I think it was an update at some point

[vocal vale]

Hearth and home update, March 2013

[ember panther]

Makes building soooo much better

[merry pebble]

the snap points were part of hildir update i believe

[vocal vale]

Call the update by a different name and you get an emoji but not me pfft

Oh wait they’re different. I thought they came together

[merry pebble]

yeah 😅

[vocal vale]

You’ll have that on those big jobs

[urban fulcrum]

holy fuck moder is a monster

[frigid gust]

I die so much less with snap points, scaffolding is so much less necessary and easy to build when it actually is, too

[urban fulcrum]

She does 172 per ice shard, and is camping my corpse

this is going to be an issue, i think

[merry pebble]

just dont get hit 😄

[smoky quarry]

a buildings dimensions are only as good as its scaffolding

[urban fulcrum]

she's a sniper

[merry pebble]

i wouldnt say so, more like a shotgun bunch of projectiles and hope some will hit 😄

[urban fulcrum]

this is gonna come off as strange, but hear me out

[pliant hatch]

See. That's why I dig out a small trench around her altar feet and use that as shelter before engaging her with a bow and a ton of fire arrows.
I won't die, got a minor rested bonus from the fires I've put up over there and even if something else decides to join the fight, am still going to win.

[urban fulcrum]

Moder, is the antithesis of Valheim bosses, or even Valheim combat as a whole

To keep it short, she doesn't get easier with prep, not really, there's not a lot you can do to change up the fight, and she highlights the flaws with Valheim's melee combat due to, yknow, weird hitbox and also mountains

the best heim boss in that regard is bonemass, if you're wondering

1. Clear weakness that changes how much you can commit
2. Bringing poison resist/flattening the area isn't REQUIRED, but it makes the fight so so much nicer

but even all the other bosses play into the prep part of heim

oh also she has super good regen but w/e

[frigid gust]

Man, here I am just upgrading my bow and shooting her, using rocks for cover and running up and hitting her when she lands...

[urban fulcrum]

but also, this is like, my 7th moder kill

so maybe that's most of my issues

[warm sandal]

well... when i try to go toe-to-toe with moder I die I am just not able to read her patterns and I killed her like 10 times already... she is my nemesis 😄 all the others is hard but doable... Moder is simply not

[urban fulcrum]

also her minions suck

[warm sandal]

those can be suppressed by spawncontrol

cant have a golem show up to the party can we?

come to think of it ... never had one show up

technically they are not her minion they are of the meadows

[urban fulcrum]

literally figghting one right now

[frigid gust]

Yeah, having a wolf or two or some drakes roll up on you when you're fighting is a pain. It's hard to spawn protect a large enough area to keep them all away.

[supple crane]

Golems give me dain bramage.

[urban fulcrum]

I kill golems her minions since they have a big hearing range

[warm sandal]

wouldn't they attack her like they attack drakes?

[urban fulcrum]

nope, they avoid her, and she's immune

i hope that's part of one of their side updates, where they redraw the ally system a little more

[frigid gust]

Bosses are on ALL enemy teams. No mob will attack any boss. They only attack other mobs from other biome groups (golem is forest, if you're curious)

[warm sandal]

i put fires every where 😄 londistance illumination 😄

[warm sandal]

oh right forest not meadows... trolls and golems are best buddies

[urban fulcrum]

literally invert it, make it so bosses can hurt any enemy except their specific summons maybe

maybe not intentionally, right

but if moder spews ice, and it hits a wolf, the wolf should be no longer

actually, same with hills too. If I cant hit them, they cant hit me

then voila

[supple crane]

I agree with that, provided the attack friendly icon is active like for players.

[warm sandal]

i am scared... gonna enter a frostcave with this caracter for the first time...

[urban fulcrum]

i think i know the issue, right

so pre HnH moder was kinda whatever. She had normal boss stats, but the issue is

even she struggles on mountain terrain

[ebon mica]

The bats should latch onto you like ticks do and insta kill you tbh

[urban fulcrum]

so they cranked her stats and that was that

[supple crane]

I hadn't fought Moder in forever. Oh yikes.

[urban fulcrum]

except sometimes, she becomes sentient, or has good geometry

i unironically in full wolf armor got hit a 172 by an ice spike

[warm sandal]

good thing those ulvs are such sleepy heads 😄

[supple crane]

In my last fight (forever ago) with Moder, I had a nice convenient rock to work against those spikes.

One of those glowing writing ones.

[warm sandal]

rocks don't last the get blasted asunder... i usually raise a ridge to have relieable cover... but even so...the ice breath goes trhourgh terrain sometimes and THAT is not fair

[urban fulcrum]

i think most of the issue is the terrain, and the regen for me

[supple crane]

Yeah, terrain is difficult in the mountains. And the game doesn't seem to recognize the lay of the land properly.

My rock had the glowing red writing on it. It ended up being indestructible. Yay!

[urban fulcrum]

which is so weird because moder is moder, but the queen unironically

can be hit through a wall, and you never fight her???

[warm sandal]

you can hit moder through a wall too..but she will come around while your are swinging and then your stamina will be depleted hard to dodge with no stamina ...

[urban fulcrum]

no but I mean, if you get the Mistlands sledge, or two, max upgrade it, you will not fight the queen.

You can literally sit in the entrance, hit her through the walls for 20 mins, kill all the summons the same way

and only leave to bait her back. you can literally never get hit

[pliant hatch]

Same goes for her altar.
Reason why I dig out a trench around the foundation of it and build a few fires there.

[warm sandal]

ans you can stand on a wooden plattform on the skull and pound bonemasses head and never fight a single blob if you lucky he won't hit you and the poison mead will help you don't die 😄

[supple crane]

I haven't fought her since devs added the altar. That's a neat idea.

[pliant hatch]

You can't dig out much, but the "normal" mining damage you do to terrain is enough for you to move around that pillar.
And with the top of the altar giving you a partial coverage it's enough to do the fight.
I've been doing that after a melee fight ended in me getting killed so often, I ended up with my major kills being dropped close to 10 instead of the 40-50 they used to be before.
And realized that the world doesn't need a dead hero, but a living one.
So I changed my approach to figuring out how I would be able to survive the battle, while the bosses won't.
Which also means - and some may call me a coward for that - that I'm avoiding going toe to toe with any boss if I'm able to use a bow or the (altered) terrain to fight it.
So far, I haven't died to any boss.
Unfortunately that approach doesn't always work with the other monsters, though.

[supple crane]

I do like anagromydal_ does but with a caveat. I build up in an ancient tree and use ice arrows cuz I'm too chickens__t to take Bonemass head on.

So yeah, playing smart is... well... smart?

[pliant hatch]

She got that idea when I told her I used a nearby crypt as a safe spot and kept hitting him on the head with my Iron mace until he decided to give up / in.

[warm sandal]

I will melee some and others not... i don'tcare much for being poisoned repeatedly by bonemass and blobs and shot at while i try to dodge his attacks 😄 I will melee yagluth anyday - best way i found to kill him 😄 but moder i refrain to running around avoiding to be hit with the spikes and shooting at her when she sits 😄 takes a LOOOOOONG time but with far distance illumination and lots of poison and fire arrows i manage to not die 😄

[supple crane]

I'm a bit of a hardcore. I die only once. Haven't got to Moder but a couple of times in my playthroughs.

Danged wolves usually get me by then.

[warm sandal]

when Thorin told me that i went and build a plattform mysself no need to rely on a convenient spot to be near by ... we can build one 😄

[supple crane]

😆

[warm sandal]

I got halfway through that cave without a sledge... Ilva needs to go back to the swamp to find that damn draugr trophy 😄 i wand a sledge

[supple crane]

Nice chatting with you folks. Gonna take wife out to dinner. (anniversary!)

[warm sandal]

but for now i will bid you all a good night and go sleep because alarm is 5 am ... night night all

[pliant hatch]

Gratz and enjoy.

[limber vale]

I found a back up of my very first world im so excited!

[foggy glacier]

Finally found a Yagluth vegevisir in my current playthrough. of course he's way down near the bottom of the map. Definitely sailing in from the north.

[vocal rivet]

Well done, most people never find one.

[foggy glacier]

it was a single arch hidden in a stand of birch. I almost didn't, except for the lone fuling I heard guarding it

[sharp rose]

Same with me, but I can top you with the spot - it's an island with just the palm of the altar... rip me.

[foggy glacier]

ooh damn. gonna bring the ground level up or go find another one?

[sharp rose]

Was looking for him last 20 hours. Can't bother about another location. 😄

[grim topaz]

Can I use my PC as a dedicated server for Valhiem and play at the same time? I have a pretty decent system

[foggy glacier]

I haven't actually found him yet. Just found the glowing stone.

[safe flower]

Yes but you’ll mast have to leave it on 24/7

[grim topaz]

Leave my computer on? Its on 24/7 anyway

[paper marsh]

As long as your computer is on running valheim with the server up it should be good yea

[safe flower]

No you just need the dedicated server part running

[crude swan]

Is there a channel to talk about the Ashlands update?

[nocturne wolf]

Go to channels and roles at the top of the channel list to enable the public test channels

[merry pebble]

#valheim-public-test if you dont have access you can go to id:customize and pick up the "i want to be a public tester" role 😄

[crude swan]

I mean like things that I'm hoping for because I don't think I can play the Ashland update testing on xbox

So like just discussing about it

[nocturne wolf]

Why can’t you?

[crude swan]

Idk, is it possible??

[merry pebble]

i believe you can, and the #valheim-public-test should have a guide how i think

[nocturne wolf]

Valheim public test is on Xbox, you need to open the Xbox insider hub and do some stuff from there. I haven’t played valheim on Xbox for a while now though.

[odd helm]

Yep, that channel has pinned instructions on enabling PTB on Xbox through Insider Hub

[crude swan]

Ok cool

Thank you

[rigid inlet]

i see people are using root hernesk on ashlands is it rly worth?

[dusty fog]

public tests last for two weeks for mistlands. What you think guys gonna be this time? 😄

[merry pebble]

we have no idea really, it will be out after devs are happy with the ptb version 😄 no later than june 30th 23:59:59 tho

[dusty fog]

just as I thought 😄 but hope dies last! thx!

I didn't specifically follow the state of the game during public tests, what does it look like?

[merry pebble]

still few bugs here and there 😄 , i will not go into details, since we should not talk about ptb stuff in normal channels, but if you want those you can look into #valheim-public-test 😉

i can say that i enjoy it very much thats for sure 😄

[brazen shore]

Any word on when ||A||||s||||h||||l||||a||||n||||d||||s|| coming out?

[vocal rivet]

There's no need to spoiler tag that.

[tepid prawn]

I did some variation of that in my "very scared" first playthrough, frost arrows for Bonemass, earth pillars for Moder, a 2 star wolf army for Yagluth

[merry pebble]

look about 3 messages above yours 😄

[tepid prawn]

When its ready (no one knows, it will be on or before June 30th though, anyone that has a date is just guessing)

[dusty frost]

anyone know if the old boar farm design still works

can they still eat through walls and such

[merry pebble]

i believe so, yes

[tepid prawn]

not sure but my wolf tower from my first world doesnt work anymore

[dusty frost]

using the tower design

[placid idol]

cant wait for achievements, so i can hunt

[wanton panther]

are they gonna start working on deep north after ashlands?

or some other update in between that

[verbal radish]

Heh i wish they let us hire those blue dwarves as worker . So many stuffs to farm ...plus playing as single can be quite a bit lonely even though i have animal companion but have to work around the derpy A.I

[loud valve]

Send them to die and then loot their corpses

[azure yacht]

They're not there to work for you, they're on their own business

[azure yacht]

We don't know

[placid idol]

deep north is next

[halcyon blade]

It's the next biome progression-wise, but whether they will start work on deep north next or something else is up in the air at this time.

[placid idol]

its self explanatory

[wanton panther]

soo what happens after that

valheim 2

[placid idol]

for all we know thats it

[azure yacht]

It isn't

[placid idol]

I dont think there needs to be a sequel

[placid idol]

how so

[azure yacht]

That it's unclear whether they will work on DN right away or not so stating it as if it was confirmed is not correct

[vocal rivet]

It's almost certainly not true that they'll continue straight on with Deep North.

[placid idol]

fine, the leading speculation is next is deep north. despite nothing saying there are any other biomes before DN

[halcyon blade]

You seem to not understand what has been said here...

Hildirs request is a good example of what we're talking about.

[placid idol]

well we are talking about biomes you talking about work generally

[halcyon blade]

We are not talking about biomes. Read the original question since you seemed to miss that detail.

[placid idol]

the dude asked whether deep north is next in developement after ashlands. making the topic about biomes

what question are you talking about

[halcyon blade]

They specifically asked if they are going to start working on deep north after ashlands, and the answer to that is that we don't know (they could start working on a side update next instead). And then their message immediately after that clarifies that: "or some other update in between that". You're the only one not on the same page here.

Very clearly different from "what is the next biome after ashlands".

[placid idol]

in terms of biomes Deep north is correct which is their question, whether we get non biome updates is unclear

[halcyon blade]

That is not their question at all. You still don't understand and seems you aren't going to. I'm done wasting time on this.

[placid idol]

what biome is next doesnt matter, since we all know deep north is the remaining biome

the question was for clarity

[vocal rivet]

They didn't ASK when the next biome was though.

[placid idol]

"Is deep north next after ashlands"

Im not saying they are asking for a date

[hidden gorge]

that wasn't the question, and your quote is fabricated

[vocal rivet]

And no, it probably isn't.

[placid idol]

they added to it, but deep north is the next biome until said otherwise. But there probably will be updates in between the two biomes

[vocal rivet]

Of course there will be, that's our point.

[placid idol]

the question is "are they gonna start working on deep north after ashlands?"

[vocal rivet]

And the answer is NO.

[placid idol]

which was the original question then they added to it which is will there be additional updates between the two which is a yest

[placid idol]

In terms of biomes it is derek, relax

[vocal rivet]

No-one but you was talking about biomes.

[hidden gorge]

or some other update in between that

which implies they already know that it will be the next biome, but not sure if the devs would start work immediately on the next biome, or something else, like bugs/performance/content/other platforms, etc.

[placid idol]

holy moly dude

[placid idol]

Why do you deliberately avoid my point. I made it clear there will be updates between but deep north is the next biome to release.

[vocal rivet]

It's very hard to even find your point, the number of times you'e changed it.

[placid idol]

Where

[vocal rivet]

gestures to the last 20 minutes of nonsense

[placid idol]

ok so what did i say that demonstrated my point changing?

[hidden gorge]

in terms of biomes Deep north is correct which is their question

it was not their question

[merry pebble]

And nobody asked about what Is next biome in progression 🙂

[placid idol]

since there is a laundry list

[placid idol]

there first question was that

[vocal rivet]

No, they never mentioned biomes.

[placid idol]

before adding to it.

[placid idol]

what are ashlands and deep north?

[hidden gorge]

ok mr "master baiter" -- you've baited us, congrats

[placid idol]

You guys just like making things up

[vocal rivet]

That's rich coming from you. You're just making up entire converstions.

[placid idol]

I answered his question with thoroughly

[vocal rivet]

Well, now you've just given up on English. At this point it's best to just block and move on.

[placid idol]

You make mountains out of mole hills you blew up at a guy who dmed you a swamp tree in a plains biome.

What a child

[merry pebble]

No, Stranded answered thoroughly, you did not answer at all to what they asked.

[placid idol]

what are you talking about

I made it simple and clear, in terms of biomes it is next in terms of update releases there are updates before DN

[placid idol]

I made that point if that was the question and I added to my response

even in the releases it is the next biome. What are you even talking about here

Stranded answered the question and so did I. I made it clear to the most important interpretations to that question is answered.

[merry pebble]

Which again nobody asked about, and i have to use the last bit of your message, what are you even talking about here, since i can't make sense of your last few sentence a 😅

[placid idol]

What part are you having trouble picking up?

[hidden gorge]

dude, just check his bio -- he's obviously not arguing in good faith. derek is right, just block him and move on

[placid idol]

what, i actually am not arguing in bad faith

[merry pebble]

The parts where you don't seem to speak english for example 🙂

[placid idol]

What are some examples?

Seems to be a tad bit rude

[merry pebble]

I am incredibly sorry if it came of that way 🙂

[placid idol]

I got a little upset during this back and fourth but I genuinely didn't read the addition to the question just the original question. I blurred over it

So I made adjustments to my point which specified not only the next biome but aswell as updates between.

also the "master baiter" tag in my profile is a joke and them taking it seriously brings me a chuckle

[burnt wraith]

i hate sailing so fucking much

[tepid prawn]

I absolutely love sailing

[burnt wraith]

iuts pretty

but the wind is ALWAYS against me unless i have moder

it turns what should be a 10 min sail to a 40 minute one =_=

[last fog]

Wish we had the wind waker

[unreal pike]

I just wish wind wasn't a thing and had full power sailing at all times😭

Always be against the wind with a Longshot full of metals and then BOOM! serpent attacks....

[feral niche]

Just be a pro like me🙄 (i play on the literal easiest settings for every aspect because i like to build)

[nimble notch]

I saw the banner for this game change in my library 👀 New update?

[sweet comet]

@young birch 🦫

[verbal radish]

Yes , but actually no

[wary bay]

tbh, seems like both you guys wont bother listening to eachother

and derek has always been kinda rude since I met him

[solemn matrix]

How can you judge

[wary bay]

i had interactions with him

[feral niche]

Me watching the drama go down in the Valheim discord

[placid idol]

fr

[feral niche]

Can'r believe it all started from biome talk

[fair charm]

If I make a ballista, and put a trophy on it, do enemies that the ballista does not target attack the ballista?

[placid idol]

you would imagine it be about like idk a neck boss or somethin

[loud valve]

The amount of drama this sub generates is amazing

[feral niche]

I wonder if Hildir will get more quests with the Ashlands update or sometime after it. I think it would be neat

[placid idol]

I would imagine so

we have a mistlands that doesnt have a special dungeon so we may see something for that

[feral niche]

Idk maybe something like a mines that still has dvergr but they're hostile, perhaps started to worship seekers or something? Idk, i'm just pulling crap out of the air

[placid idol]

they still attack it

[fair charm]

Darn

Farewell rabbit ballista idea

[placid idol]

unlucky

[peak acorn]

has a release date for ashlands been released yet? i know its in public beta rn so i was just curious

[placid idol]

Keep in mind this is speculation but from what i saw with mistlands it was about 2-3 weeks

[urban fulcrum]

is there a console command to wipe fog?

[delicate marlin]

Fog or mistland mist? Either way you can use commands like env which is native to change your own environment. Then there are mods that add more commands for manipulations like that.

Try 'env clear' for example to get a nice clear view.

[urban fulcrum]

like, the mistlands mist

i wish to see the world outside of those little pockets

[delicate marlin]

The way I do it is with a mod called Server Devcommands. It has an option for 'no mistland mist with god mode' if I recall.

I'm not savvy on all the mods and I'm sure there's one specifically for that purpose if you browse thunderstore.

[urban fulcrum]

sadly, mods dont work on the beta, and if i unbeta, it breaks absolutely everything

[delicate marlin]

Most mods I've tried don't work on Ashlands yet but this one does for me.

Id like to know if the env clear command works, if anything it should clear it temporarily.

Can check it in a bit.😁

[fair charm]

I will say mistlands is an absolutely incredible move to make the best looking biome so far and then make it completely unable to be seen

[delicate marlin]

Well it's designed to add extra challenge to the advanced level biome and adds an eerie feeling to the whole thing. Definitely not a place I want to settle though, I prefer a nice view.

[urban fulcrum]

i wouldn't say challenge per se

i'd say the bulk of the challenge comes from bugs hitting 40 through bonemass

i dont wanna imagine a starred seeker

[fair charm]

Starred seekers are fine

[urban fulcrum]

usually wherever they spawn, they get stuck, like at the entrance of mines

[fair charm]

2 star tick now that's something really scary

[urban fulcrum]

or there's dwarves around to help

i do wish seekers had it slightly harder on the terrain though

[fair charm]

If the viking could attack like 1cm up and down from the vertical plane it would be nice
(this will never happen)

[urban fulcrum]

they should've made mistlands wayyyy flatter

[fair charm]

Nah, I don't mind the verticality I just mind that my viking will sit there mindlessly attacking the air/ground while no enemies have the same issue

[urban fulcrum]

yeah, but that's a valheim issue

infested mines are great i think

13 fps????

it's unironically so laggy the entire thign is unplayable lmao

[fair charm]

Is this with the fog delete mod?

[urban fulcrum]

no this is just base heim

Valheim is notoriously unfriendly to lesser machines

doubly so because seekers are made of more polygons than 60% of the game

[fair charm]

I didn't do too badly on a laptop 3060

[urban fulcrum]

3060 is an exceptionally good card

[fair charm]

Is it?

[urban fulcrum]

i'm running a 1650 for example

and a 1650 is still pretty decent

[fair charm]

I mean, laptop 3060 is second from the bottom and in mobile form factor

huh apparently the 3060 mobile is 60% more performant than a 1650

[plush umbra]

I've got a RTX 3060 in my laptop, and it's phenomenal

Anyone done any of the public testing for Ashlands yet? 🙂

[fair charm]

#valheim-chat message
Check out the enclosed instructions to find ashlands public testers

[urban fulcrum]

and that's a good(ish) card, my cpu HATES heim

[fair charm]

I spent so long chasing playability in heavily modded minecraft everything else has been fine

[tame mirage]

What advice do you guys have for ||hunting hares||? (mistlands)

[fervent trellis]

Are there any plans to add horses to Valheim? Ancient DNA reveals ambling horses, comfortable to ride over rough roads, first appeared in medieval England, and were spread worldwide by Vikings. Described, for riders, as being akin to sitting in a comfy chair, ambling gaits are particularly suited to lengthy rides over rough roads.

[fervent trellis]

Bow with normal arrows

[warm sandal]

a knife will do if they come towards you as it is quick

[pure lantern]

any info on when ashlands goes live?

[inner depot]

you could probably search for this and find one of the other times that someone has answered this question

[pure lantern]

or you could just answer if you know or not if you don't

sorry for occupying the chat with my 3 lines

[oblique ember]

Where can i find copper? i cant find it in black forest

[delicate marlin]

Look for large boulders embedded in the ground, they shimmer slightly and say what they are when you hover the pointer on them.

[oblique ember]

Can i make better armor with copper?

[delicate marlin]

Yes and it looks nice too.

[oblique ember]

in black forest?

[delicate marlin]

Also weapons and tools. But you'll need tin as well to make bronze.

[delicate marlin]

Usually underfoot in black forest.

[oblique ember]

I can't even go in black forest... everytime i go the monsters killing me because i have leather armor only

How am i supposed to get copper in black forest if i immediately die there 😭

[delicate marlin]

Upgrade your leathers, cook up some meats, craft flint arrows and destroy the first boss because you need it's drop to harvest the ores anyways.

[oblique ember]

I killed the first boss

[delicate marlin]

Then I suggest you upgrade your gears, make the flint arrows, maybe have a backup set and plenty of food. Then be careful and tactical because you don't know what you'll run into. You will have to fight to the death in some cases, you can't outrun everything.

[oblique ember]

ty

[plush umbra]

Theres no info, not critizing you but asking is kind of pointless, If you're on this server you're gonna get a ping in news/valheim patchnotes when a new patch goes live. I'd say don't bother waiting and just try it out. None of the bugs seem major I highly doubt they'll add any more content between now and offical release (thought more content is always welcome), seems like it's fun and in a playable state and my save/game hasn't broken yet.

[plush umbra]

Build a fire/workbench next to the copper deposit, mine some bring it back, get some tin from near the shores, then craft whatever materials you need (I believe bronze/bronze nails) to make a cart, use that to transport ore faster. Maxing out your gear will be a good start, if you do melee, try to make a shield and work on parrying enemies then hitting them, you'll quickly overwhelm and kill them with parries, even trolls.

Also craft a cauldron (tin bars) and use it to make better food so that you'll have more health/be able to tank more damage.

[warm sandal]

having the right food for every biome goes a long long way to surviving... it is not just a nice to have if you want to stop dieing all the time 😄

so see to upgade your cooking gear best you can to have enough health and stamina for the mobs you have to face. (also armor is important but big armor does not much if you are running around with 25hp all the time)

[indigo lintel]

Also, you CAN outrun anything in black forest. Always have three foods eaten, some of them leaning for stamina. For outrunning, you need to learn to manage your stamina; run only if needed, and/or when the stamina bar is full. The goal is to minimize the gaps in regeneration (there is a gap after using any stamina, to when it starts to refill).

EDIT: Panicking, holding shift down and jumping around, trying to take a few desperate stabs at the enemy while at it, is a sure recipe for dying.

Also, when you only have weak armor, I'd advice to search the outskirts of the black forest only. That way, when you die (and you will 😁!), your corpse runs will be easier, and the safe area near.

[supple echo]

Do we have a general guess as to when Ashlands will fully release?

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

Between now and 30 June23:59:59.

[supple echo]

Is that based off of previous release times?

[fleet ingot]

Today is the day we go live guys, I can feel it!

Believe it! believe it! believe it!

[warm sandal]

did you gaze in the crystal ball???

[fleet ingot]

i can feel it in my butthole!

[warm sandal]

bummer, my actuall character is only mountains level... long way to go to reach ashlands with Ilva Ingadottir i am afraid ... thought I still had a bit more time tongue-in-cheek

[fleet ingot]

You must be building entire kingdoms then

Small city states on every island huh?

[plush umbra]

Also be careful when using the cart try not to weight it down with more than 60 ore at a time it is effected by the weight stored in it I believe, if a troll attacks just leave it there and run/fight the troll then come back for it

[wet vapor]

🤨

[warm sandal]

not exactly ... but i just started that world 2 weeks ago and with working fulltime you know i need to earn a living i can not dedicate 12h a day to it 😄

[plush umbra]

have option to play the update
Choose not to play the update
???
Profit

My guess is June 1st for the official release but its already available so why not just play the update

It's not like playing a beta unfinished game full of bugs in early access it's fully functional

[fleet ingot]

Working is over rated! especially with this ridiculous inflation. had to leave my job 2 months ago because i moved state. Holding off as long as possible before i return

[warm sandal]

a pity i have to pay rent and all the bills and then me and hubby want to eat... sigh would prefer to play all day long, but nope... well... i will reach the ashlands when I reach the ashlands 😄 It will not go away once it drops so no hurries there 😄

[fleet ingot]

I do too.

[fleet ingot]

lets move in together and burn through our savings for the sake of gaming

[warm sandal]

LOL nope.. me is on a saving spree - need money for retirement 😄 sorry to disappoint
