does someone know how to refine copper? cant find it in yt
you need one of those furnace things
once you get an item called a surtling core you'll get the recipe
do i get them in black forest?
yeah
damn
there is a pinned message where you can find all the info regarding that ... I am a mess with linking stuff here so please refere to the pinned messages π
better join the PTB than asking for the code
got it ty
I'm paused in the ||yagluth|| boss fight. tryna hind behind pillars but I'm still getting hit by his ||meteors||. is there a trick to it that I'm missing?
fully hugging the pillars btw
Get out of the area the meteors will drop in or stay in front of yag's face, it will block the meteors.
that helped ty
also it seems like i just wasnt sticking behind the right pillars. when I found the right one I never got hit by the meteors again
also I noticed you can dodge roll past the meteors, but it's not really viable because of how big the hitboxes of the meteors are. most of the time you're gonna get hit anyway
unless I'm just bad at the game that could be it too π
can we just release ashlands already. we have waited a lot longer then we should have. at this point i will not mind a few bugs i just want to play it on my worl
Join the ptb then.
The testing version is live atm
T minus official launch for Ashlands?! Within a week? Yes , please?!?!!!
i can play on my world with the ptb?
No we haven't, don't be silly. And no, there are still a couple of critical bugs that, at the very least, need fixing.
Of course, that's kinda the point of the test.
all this time i thought id have to start a new world. forget my first dumb comment. me sorrryyyyy
Just be aware that any worlds (or characters) you take into PTB won't be usable in the live version until the new update goes live.
also the ahsland parts which you might already discovered / generated in your current world will not get any content update
π
Yes, but make backups, it might do strange things to your world or character.
hi does anyone know what is the name of the fortune bone and megayord to create via console? ?
Do you mean Wishbone --> Wishbone and Megingjord --> BeltStrength?
You can search in here for them: https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Item_IDs
thx
The longer we wait for ashlands in PTB, the more polished it potentially gets 
But Ill admit, Im also eager π
But hey! Thats a testament for the devs ability to make us excited for more content!
and there are no ashlands?
Honestly, you are not going to be disappointed.
In the ptb, there are.
Yeah thankfully theres a mod for that. i had a buddy who just wanted to explore and i thought he ruined my world XD
Wonder if we get to find Santa in the deep north, eventually
around the northpole just before you drop of the rim of the world and die π
i guess not, as santa is not part of norse mythology?

what's the jotun bane's purpose? haven't found any mob it's good against
It's good for chopping trees
not even that
It's actually excellent for exactly that
It's pretty effective against fulings or anything else susceptible to poison damage but beryond that I don't think it has much combat usage
really? I've always found the mistwalker far superior against fulings
It does more damage than the Mistwalker.
Any guesses when is the ashlands update coming to full game?
Soonish.
it is anybodies guess, i guess, but i guess not later than last second of June π
i just checked, it took them like 2 weeks with mistlands, so hopefully next weekend ig
Every update is different.
Mistlands was and still is full of bugs so it is hard to take that as a ballpark.
some ppl call Mistlands the worst update, and the Ashlands the best... so well see
Mistlands is my favourite tbh I only wish you could upgrade the wisp light so it would keep up with you and extend the amount you could see
you could suggest that if it was not already π
I guess so
For the ashlands players whatβs the best weapon to enter the Ashlands with? Trying to prepare but not to look stuff up and avoid spoilers.
Helo. Wil the Valheim Fandom wiki wil be updated with the Ashlands tings after relis??
yes it should π
ok ty
swords are pretty good, but so are clubs and axes, really up to you which one you choose π
@royal geode In my case i only saw the walk and talk videos and the gameplay trailer and for me is AXE all the way
Are mountain caves necessary?
@weary turretonly if you want the Fenris armor
oh we already done with moder
then its ok
frenris armor + crystals for windows
me all in searching as many caves I can ...want windows and want fenris π
you can get crystals by killing stone golems as well btw
they drop quite a bunch, around 8 iirc
you can but you find heaps and heaps in the caves which makes it more convenient
cleared on cave half yesterday and got 15 just bei picking them up no fight involved
I should loot a cave, havent done so yet
just done with plains so I'm kinda late to it
be adviced to not go willienillie...the mobs in there are ough... and do not go in a root armor... you are flamable in that one
how many caves would you have to clear-ish for the full fenris set maxed?
depends usually I have to search at least 3 or 4 Mountains for caves to get all I want (and the wolfpelt to go with it it takes both the hair and the pelt)
fenris is not easy to accquire but sooooooo good
yeah the movement buff must be so nice!
also being fireresistant is a nice buff to have fighting yag π
i died all the time trying that in a padded armor, with the fenris no prob π
yeah I took fire resist meads with me for the fight but after taking one AoE attack I went down to 2 hp
I forgot to actually drink the mead XD
with the frenris and barley wine it is much easier to stand the firedammage he deals
ic
yeah getting behind pillars in time was difficult too with the movement speed nerf of the padded armor
just dont get hit by what ever drops from the sky (easy to avoid you are fast then) π
Yea that was actually tougher than I was expecting
I carry the fenris all through the plains and into the fringes of the mist... running quicker than bugs can fly is an advantage π only if I move deeper in i use the padded for the extra protection π
yea im prolly gonna go into the mistlands tomorrow
either that or loot some frost caves
good luck mate dont get sucked dry in there
And make you a few of those ooze bombs
oh yeah those were great against seekers right?
not only a few... i save ALL the ooze i find to make heaps of them π
they help a heap surviving the mines
Oh yeah
I usually dont pick them up tbf
didnt rly have a use before
so I dont think ive got more than 10 stored atm
i pity you... maybe go raid some swamp... also this is a survival.. i pick up everything and stash it away ... you never know π he he he
i used to make muckshake but i do not do that anymore... i save to ooze for bombs π
I kinda just went to the mountains to get some eyescream rather than muckshakes
I'll change up my ooze strategy then.
I think I'm just gonna go into the ashlands blind
not gonna watch any videos on how to prep and what to expect
yo, will ashlands require a new save file? or will it be compatiable with existing ones?
just gonna make a portal and die over and over xD
If you hadn't visited Ashelands yet, you should be fine
that is what i am doing ... i have given up looking at youtube to many spoilers right now π watching crunchyroll instead π
My friend has tried to get me into watching anime but honestly I don't wanna buy a whole subscription for something I might like
but who knows maybe I change my mind
i am not at all into anime... i watch crunchyroll because of me learning japanese (for 2 years now) and it is immersion . listening skills π
will watch netflix in japanese too (and italian for that matter - can always use more practise even if you are already fluent in a language)
Domo Origato
@warm sandal have you seen Shogun on disney+?
i do not have disney+ only netflix and amazon prime (i do not watch that much stsuff it would merrit more subscriptions π I am a gamer not a cineast π
that's fair. I highly recommend the series though. Maybe you can watch it at a friends house
i fear not... i am the friend with all the weird techstuff and subscription no one has ever heard of (netflix that is) π but it is okay... lots of stuff to watch for practise as is and i can always set valheim to italiano or nihongo π
more vocab to be picked up there too
Ooze bombs are a good idea I should prep some of those also
i went back to the swamp from exploring mountains ... i need to find that stupid elite draugr trophy still ...
try farming those stone ruin things
you'll find draugr spawners spawn elites quite often there
or crypts work too
need to find a fresh swamp first on the frist run through i shot all of them to be safer in my troll armor π right now I am going for crypts (can never have to much iron in that game anyways so that adds up)
@warm sandal the wishbone can help you find buried iron in the swamps as well after the crypts run out.
Hey Guys IU have a question, so we've been playing with some friends on a local server of ours, but we want to make t 24/7 vailable as it's normally available jsut when the "owner" of it is online. Is there any way we can turn it on a dedicated server?
rent a server
Host a dedicated server and leave whatever is running it turned on 24/7
It's my friend's account so he wouldnt be able to play I guess
I don't know how it works, that's why I'm asking
We were thinking on buying a dedi server service
If we're talking about a specific world you're playing in, it can be transferred to a rented server.
with all ur progress
When Ashlands is relaesed soon, do I have to make a new world for it? Or can I start a new world now and prepare for the patch, as long as I don't venture into the Ashlands biome? Anyone know?
Ur good
Using even older save file would be fine, as long as it's not too old and haven't explored south and north
there was something flying in the sky leaving lightning wherever it went. what was that
That was Thor
i figured
Darn, I should've used my name as a pun.
rewrites
That was Thor in his chariot.
I know, but I never ran out of crypts before I ran out of the need for iron π there is enough swamp on the map... i just sail on and find another swamp.
Was about to ask why 1 of the 2 eggs isn't hatching... and the universe answered before I sent the question. I noticed that the fire has been randomly going out due to smoke
he he he ... better to find out yourself you will never forget π
What happens with content from hacked discord channel? Have guys managed to restore everything?
They had to redo everything, well almost everything. So all the messages are permanently gone and stuff
the private channels remained so not all was lost π
huh. It's so pity. So huge community work was lost:( Wish attackers to lost more
The fan's save some of the good stuff β€οΈβπ₯
So I'll bite
Rabbit meat doesn't float, rabbit trophies don't float, and scale hide doesn't float
but smush all these things together, and rabbits can swim???
Nerdy explanation: Boyancy. Living things tend to breath and have air inside of them. That is why big chunky ships made of steel can float, but if you throw a steel bar into the water it's not going to float.
You'll stop floating if you release enough air, a simple thing to test but obviously better done in shallow waters
but meat should be kinda boyant
i once had stones floating on water, why was that
It was secretly a balloon paintrd like a stone
buoyancy / buoyant
not my fault english is weird about how things are spelled/written π
ofc. yeah not saying its easy
gnnnnnghhh stood next to evill bonepile all day and killed every draugr that spawn amongst them a goodly number of elite (every 4th i'd estimate) gained spear (57 -> 59) and block (22 -> 25) and no elite trophy
One day you'll get it
me gonna go there tomorrow and i swear i will stand by that bonepile everyday untill it comes up I WANT that sledge
finally started exploring mistlands, but didn't get too far into it before came across gjall and retreated to plains to fight it so I can actually see something
that tiny wisp is barely helping lol
fighting gjall in the mist is a pain... while you look for where it went the ticks get at you... grrr...
and god help you if you do not have stamina to roll or a sledge to kill them off (and the stamina to use it)
Throw some on water and check if it does
I think my new plan is to just slowly creep into the mistlands and find a base location... still not sure how to deal with gjalls and a base tho. probably just find a location I can spawn proof
When in doubt, spin it out
perfection
IF you ain't spinnin you aint winnin
I usually just make some portal shacks near roots and such instead of a full base to start with, at least until I start getting myself better kitted out. Farming and such is largely just a quick portal in and out, not a whole base.
spears 62 now still no trophy π¦ but a heckton of entrails π
what is the best resource multiplikator for 4 players
Depends a lot, but 2x is pretty solid if everyone still contributes to doing the various resource gathering.
first of all you need to go the the right channel and not talk about it here
What about 3x is it too much?
damn ygrasil wood is hardcore. Theu don't screw around. Normal trees atteempt to fight back by falling on you and bonk you, but these giga cheddars tried to kill me by taking me down with it... it started falling off a clip and it kind of hit me from below and make me start falling, but luckily managed to stop falling very early
Which channel is that? I see no channel that I could talk in that would be relevant
then you need to get the right role first there is a pinned message up above that can direct you .. and a post about not taking about PTB stuff in normal Channels
Experiment with it, see what feels right. I would suggest starting lower to begin with though.
sorry i am a mess with links hier... i am sure one of the others can provide those
#valheim-public-test if you dont have access go to id:customize and pick the "i want to be a public tester" role π
Thanks for the suggestion, i will try
I feel you... i am so relieved each time i finally scrape together enough to get that cape and be save from falling
Okay...another day another round of draugr bashing... when that trophy finally falls i might be spear level 100 π
on a sidenote i need a new box for the cores as two dug out surtling spawners are nearby
You've got an infinite source now... no need to save them all π Put some in your hotbar and use them on an outdoor campfire.
persistance to the win... i gave also the frostner a whirl to level that one a bit and the last two elite that came at me dropped one each...3 full days of draugr killing π but I got what I want
What it's PTB
And eating sausages for the rest of your game life.
oh? high ground in Mistlands doesn't have mist?
always keep some sausage in the boat
sausage is by far my go to food because in the mountains you find so much in the caves that i do not know what to do with it π
sausage & bread
after that adventure I got me a wooden box full of entrails and 6 spear and 2 club and 4 block levels gained π
PTB = Public Test Build. It's a beta test for people who want to help find bugs in the upcoming releases. Generally should be a player that's gone through the whole game as is at least once.
hi what server site do you recommend where I can upload my world
I need go check the wiki... want to find out if those nasty bug might be resistant to pierce would be a bummmer with my spear lvl that high π
boooo they are π¦
there are some areas where its less dense -- it's not uniformly distributed so sometimes you can find little pockets where its easier to see than normal. but yeah, generally on especially high peaks or areas near the ocean you can find bits with less mist
Oh well... will get enough training with the frostner in the mountains to bring those club levels up π
psst, they are also resistant to that π
but not to frost π and it will slow them down... so i can have another swing at them π steady wears them down too π
so i can have another swing at them
not with the knockback unfortunately :/
but frostner is still good
sure...just close up frorm the side and do it again..sure you can not have combi...but normally 3 -4 hits gets them too... if they don't get you π
yeah, the two starred ones are nasty
they indeed are
the jotun bane deals poison but no slowing down and with the slash it does (i think it i slash it is not a good option) ... so a weapon that has frost it is for me ... i need all the slowing down I can get to kill stuff - my reactions have been better 25 years ago you know π
you got magic yet? ||ember staff is like the frostner equivalent of magic weapons, and the ideal counter to everything. full stop.||
Nah no magic yet i am still mountain level with this character... i just was gleeful because i gained so many spear levels right now π but will not help a lot later in the Mist (in the plains though, the greenhides are not resistant to pierce π
and i fully agree to what you said about magic under the spoilertag... i will see that i get that fast as possible but between the player and the magic stands the bug π
heh. yeah I still can't get over the spear's melee behavior. it feels so bad
otherwise i think they're pretty good
So are we trying to get out of Valheim
It is my favorite melee weapon... that and the knife.. looking so forward to the mistland knifes
and into Valhalla?
To kill Odins enemies before then
I absolutely hate when you're looking for a new island to establish as a home base, and you think you find the perfect place... but it's too low in the water to put a workbench on, and you can't raise the ground because you need a workbench π
hah... now we can talk business in them frostcaves...got that sledge on level 3 you wait and see you cultists π
What if we are odins enemy and thats the twist
I am not forsaken, for Odin loves me!
Idk man i feel like im going to Helheim
oooooh i love that sledge...
So I found Yag's place.
And within close proximity there are 4 tarpits, one tower - which I already cleared - and one fulling village.
cries: "Whyyyyy?"
because you spent the bm on the chests and the game helps you collect more π and tar for nice roofs and more building too π
clear all and put workbenches/campfires around tar pits π then the arena is ready π
I saw something very tragic today. Growth actually won a fight against a single lox! The lox got stuck in the tar pool and kept getting pushed back in until it died
I'm going to drain one tarpit, so I got access to the altar from the sea.
After that I'll see if i'm able to turn the tower into a mini base to drain the rest of the tarpits.
And with the access from the sea to the altar, I'm also able to get that village cleared of those green blooded pointy ears Vulca.... Fullings
How complete is the ashlands? Iβm thinking of starting a new playthrough in the beta but Iβm not sure if itβs worth
The PTB is in its second week, to in regards of that it's 100% complete.
It isn't, however, 100% bug free.
So you can start the beta if you like and will most likely not even be in the Ashlands before it's released in public.
in which case there is't really much of a point in starting in beta if you're not going to Ashlands before it arrives to the main branch, other than taking extra risk of finding a rare bug that can ruin your saves. Not a high risk but still possible
Oh so the update will be coming to the main branch pretty soon than?
whoa after it took me so long to get the draugr trophy i found two cultist trophy in the second cave π
Got that snake trophy yet?
I do. π
let me correct that to 3 π
i got one snake trophy with ilva but still none for ashley...well no play no snake
I got two of those.
As well as the Cultist, the Ulv and a Golem.
Oh and of course, Brenna - which you should be able to deal with by now - and Geirrhaffa.
Not really
why not?
I am still not sure if i want to deal with the new raids those quests give... i mean yah the forest one is not to bad can handle a lot of skeletons and those...but geirrhaffa with his fenrig and cultist is another deal... if ever will do that one when i reach mistlevel gear ...
Portal placed, at least I got the ability to offload some items once in a while.
ye the fenrir raids can be tough
Man, I've gotten like 4 of the "They were bros" raids, and none from any of the other dungeons. It's getting to be absurd at this point π Raid types need a cooldown of some kind.
II have had ONLY the ground is shaking so far...not a single other one
I've had Brenna's raid once.
And it didn't bother me much, being on an island et all.
I get so annoyed by the βbrosβ raid. I havenβt even hit a tower yet this playthrough and itβs practically next to my plains base
I donβt even worry about trolls or skeletons any more. Once youβre in plains gear, they shouldnβt be a problem. Porcupine cuts through both of them like butter
is there a command to clip thru walls and floor?
do you play multiplayer with player based raids turned on? otherwise there should not be the bros raid if you didnt hit the tower yet
freefly, but only in vicinity of your character i believe
but i cant place object
yes
Nah, Iβve played before on a server where we beat them. Thatβs why Iβm avoiding the tower now
Which object are you trying to place where and what's above it?
i have found a way around it thanks
2nd tarpit down.
I got about 300 tar right now.
Should be a nice step towards those shingle roof pieces.
I did my japanese practise and will now go to bed. sleep well all of you and may your nets not be empty when you awake!
Playing valheim at work cause fuck my job
Found my first quality 5 fish. That thing is huuuge.
Ladies & Gentlemen, I have a question to ask.
Do Ghosts spawn outside the burial chambers?
Ghosts, no. There are somewhat similar Wraiths that do in the Swamps at night, though.
No announced dates, but likely not within a week. Quite a few known issues that are being worked through in the beta.
Well, I have interesting news and I am not sure how to make sense of it, because....
I have seen on outside...
wait, why can't I send pictures?
You can in #valheim-help or #screenshots
oh okay
@
Know what some of the issues are? Or know in what chat i can see them?
Read the top pin on this channel for instructions to unlock the PTB channels
Righteous, thank you
Anyone know why I can't join my friends server? It says I can't connect
They're on PC and I'm on xbox
Better place to ask that is in #valheim-help . I presume they are sending you a connection code they generate?
Yeah but that wasn't working for either me or my friend but we searched the server name and joined it
And it let him in
I just saved a queen bumble bee!
Saved?
Youβre probably the one who broke itβs nest. The bees are not happy.
Yo anyone know when ashlands is officially dropping?
When testing is finished. Thereβs no way to predict this but you can help it come sooner by joining the testing.
Lmao thanks for that. Just seeing if anyone knew how the progress was going
Should be a few weeks
Thanks
Sorry if this has been asked, but do we know the extent to which Ashlands will affect existing worlds? Like, if you have not explored near the edges of the world, will you still be good?
Yep.
East and west edges are fine as well. Just say away from the furthest reaches south until it's released, and north as well depending on how long you want to keep playing your world.
Oh right, yeah, north is gonna be Coldlands, right?
Eventually
Deep North, but yes
That is a better name
Canβt wait till ashlands comes out of public testing, shits gonna be lit
Literally π
does anyone know a way to make a smoke trap? Without turning fire off
or if brazier is still not destroyted when stepping on it?
Just make the trap tall and wide enough and it'll work, smoke dissipates after some time.
u got a pic?
Not really. You just need it to be 3-4m above the fire so that it can pile up and dissipate within that range. Experiment a bit with it if you need to.
How long would these issues you'd say be fixed?
I'm a developer, but not a Valheim developer, so my opinion is only very slightly more informed than a layman's. I would personally expect another beta update next week if not tomorrow, and I'd guess another one after that depending on if the fixes add new issues. After that we'll see, but it will hopefully be near complete at that point.
Hmm then maybe it'd be a 2-3 week wait time with 2 weeks for initial fixes and polishing then another 1 for contingency fixes. Thanks π§
Like I said, complete guesswork, and it could even be a little optimistic π But we'll see what happens.
Can anyone recommend any good QOL mods that work on the current (non-ashlands beta, just normal) version?
I've been trying to search through the mods but it's really hard to tell what works and what doesn't
What was the last date a mod needed to be updated for it to work on the current version?
I tend to stick to azumatt & smoothbrain for QOL mods, since they are usually updated very quickly and are high quality. Update date doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work anymore - its totally dependant on what the mod does and what IG's changed
thunderstore all the way.
Well when Ashlands drops live tomorrow your mods will be broken so you may want to wait.
Nexus works ok for other games, but for valheim its got lots of problems
oh is it coming out tomorrow
yeah i'll wait then
Also, if you're after content mods, I recommend checking out the modpacks by Jewelheim/Majestic. He's made one for epicloot (relicheim), jewelcrafting (jewelheim), and a vanilla-ish pack that doesn't use any of the big ones.
Mods like QuickTapDodge shouldn't fuck up my save right
I think any mod is at your own risk
yeah i'll just wait then
and again azumatt & smoothbrain mods are all highquality and won't mess up your save
It is not, for the record.
oh lmao
Still some time away, bugs and balancing to be done.
Also, gentle reminder that the main channels should stick to the vanilla game, we have #mods-discussion and #mods-issues
No worries~
ποΈ
She barely got like 55 metal
(corrected after looking a the supply)
If your talking about PTB stuff thats a different channel.
ah okay
how long does it take before updates move from public test to the stable game?
how long does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
What will happen to the center spawn boss rocks when the update drops? I already have a world I'm working on in prep for ashlands.
They update a little wonkily compared to a fresh world but they are perfectly functional
With 'a bit wonkily' I mean that the new one looks a bit shoved in too close against another
Thats fine long as it works thanks
Cheers~
Arenβt the devβs going to fix it?
Or are we just stuck with wonky rocks?
It should be fixable, but not my place to say~
Considering it's still in ptb, there's plenty of time for changes to be made if need be. Even after the update goes live it's not set in stone and can still be fixed later if a fix is deemed necessary.
Probably a coincidence but they dropped the ptb on the same day of the month they did with mistlands ptb. And they released mistlands on the 6th so watch Ashlands drop this coming Monday on may 6th. Iβm calling it
Morgen gjall.
mornin
God Morgen
I would gladly pay 30 iron and 60 refined eitr per tool for mistlands (soon to be ashlands) tier pickaxe, hammer, cultivator
even if they have exactly the same durability as the base ones just so I have to go to less places to repair
In old world's probably yes. In new worlds they're spaced out accordingly
I really, really, really hope it's not the case...
Way too early
Can't see them fixing something that doesn't affect new worlds.
I will consult the fortune telling lox as to when ashlands is coming out
Fortune telling lox says "60 damage to buildings by walking into them" Make of that what you will
All the answers I'm getting are 42.
But I like my old world π
It has 0 effect on that world tho. Except aesthetically
Aesthetic changes matter to me π
anyone know when the official ash will release?
No one does but it should be before 30 June 23:59:59.
π π Hey all. Man, I can't remember who mentioned it the other day, but using Dvergr Circlets as a (edit: base/home) light source has changed my life!
God morgon
Anyone got anything on their agenda today? Are you prepping for Ashlands? Working towards not freezing in the Mountains? What's happening?
i did work from 7 till 13...now getting that important rested buff with a cuppa coffee and then will go back to the mountain and kill more cultists... me wanna fenris and I for sure do not feel like raiding caves after i killed moder...so being reasonable and do it before π
Frost caves are great for enabling stone buildings in mountains - destroy the doors for iron bars (not ore, bars) with which to build a stonecutter.
I never go to the mountain before i go to the swamp but i will destroy the doors none the less free iron is always helpful ... the sheer amount you need in this game can be baffling
No, it's not a sustainable practice. But if you need iron for a stonecutter and you have a mountain nearby, it's often easier to just destroy some doors than it is to mine a swamp or ship metal to your base.
being able to parry a wolf is just the best π
Encountering wolves early reminded me of trying to PvP WoW battegrounds against a stunn-locking rogue.
i never played WoW π
way to busy getting my time spent in valheim counter from 1700h to 1800h π
so awkward
what is awkward?
opinion: Valheim should be incl. in the Steam Farming Fest tab kek 
does tasty mead stack with lingering?
can I carry my public test worlds over to the release version?
Once Ashlands releases into live branch, yes
oki thx
wasnt it clearly stated that you cant bring them back?
The only difference between PTB and live branch is content and version number
And players that disproportionately value their own opinion π
The way that it works currently, saves are not backwards compatible - meaning, you can't load a save made in a later version from an earlier version. If you make a save in the PTB and then go back to live branch today and try to load it, it won't work.
But saves are forward compatible - meaning that any save made in an earlier version of the game should be able to be upgraded to a later version with no issues.
good to know, thank you
So, if you make a save in live, you can open it in the PTB branch and it'll upgrade with little/no issues - but you can't then bring it back to current live branch.
Once Ashlands releases into live, both branches will have version parity and it won't be a problem anymore.
Magenta-coloured name well-earned. Text is a horrible format for communication, but you do a great job with emphasis, precision, and relevance. Bravo, you!
I would love to have an island base but the Islands i found so far are either way to large or way to small... hard to encounter a just the right size island ... well I need go find another mountain now... all the caves emptied out and not many wolves left (the occasional one only)
i like peninsulas, easy to wall one side; kind of like old Constantinople
I'm sure you've got enough mountains with caves at your seed.
Just needs "a bit more" sailing. πΌ
absolutely agree about just a little bit more sailing π no trouble with that mountains can often be seen from afar... it is not like you need to find swamp that is not to be seen f rom afar only guessed at via thee shoreline π
'Way too small' at least is not the end of the world if you've discovered Wood Iron Beam. It's not inconceivable to build a decent sized base around a small island with that kind of support.
"'Way too small' at least is not the end of the world". Depends on who's telling you it.
true that, but i love it better if I could integrate a village like base into a forest without altering everything to make it work... just a preference of mine π
You only need to complete the seal. Everything else is gravy.
I don't want to put gravy anywhere... you know what? I'm already living dangerously with this conversation.
The 'danger' depends on who you're living with...
For those of you doing the public test branch, how severe are the bugs? Could I start a world now and not have it break?
Wondering if I should wait until stable or start one today
The world won't break (though backups are always recommended), but some things just plain old don't work right now so you'll have to bear that in mind.
Ah gotcha, anything not working in the early game before ashlands
If you meant you wanted to start a new world on live, then as long as you leave Ashlands (and Deep North) well alone you'll be fine.
Ah perfect, yeah by the time I get to ashlands it's probably going to be stable
Unless you're speedrunning, that would be my guess.
Yeah living with or even near that one is dangerous.
Y'all ever see something isn't quite right but you can't be bothered to fix it? My lox farm isn't tall enough π¦
You contain your lox? Once they're tame, I let them run free. They're great base defence.
They're also food so I made a breeding pen for pies
I feel like my friend is gonna yell at me if I let them roam free π€£
That being said, I could totally just throw a bunch of lox out in the raid field
I do both I make my walls 1 lox high so the second lox can get over it if they stand on each other, I made it big enough that 8 loxes fit in the pen, I haven't had it happen that all loxes escape, if they do I can just ride one back to the pent and breed them.
I built a breeding pen for them that actually kinda works, just gotta make it a bit taller so they'll keep going after 4 loxes
I pen mine up too
and there i was, thinking I could just make some armor with the 200 black metal I found. nope, back to the swamp it is
I suspect the 150 Fulings you killed would dispute the whole "found" idea.
What are they gonna do, unionize?
the oddness sometimes... i was running across land of my own starter continent to get to the mountain in the west... was near my first base structur i build in an abandoned village "The Burrow" when I encounterd a draugr...right in the middle of meadows???? whut????
LOL! Yes! That should be a world event - "The Fulings have unionised!", and it's like a Roman battleline just advancing on your base.
Brb learning how to mod the game
love the optimistic approach you have there...should only take a second or two π€£
5 minute in and out coding adventure I swear
Isn't bepinex a varient of C? I'm gonna have to learn that
I have some questions about mistland weapons. best place to ask?
Probably #valheim-help
i dont see why not ask here π what do you want to ask about?
I spotted a tar pit and a feling village next to each-other. I know what i must do. Time to get naked.
I have started a turf war between the slimes, lox, and felings
W.. whβ¦. Why..? Did you have to get naked for that?
I didn't want to risk my gear
I always make sure to burn their villages to the ground, so getting back at me would take a while
I just kinda ran in the middle of a feling vilage with reckless abandon and ran into the tar pit
*Fulings. But, yes, nice work! I was going to suggest kiting the Fulings into the tar pit. Nice work.
Fulings* I'm resisting the urge to call them goblins tbh
i think you can tell by their short noses
lots of people also call them that π but correct term is indeed Fulings
There's more flax down there I'm gonna risk another trip
I wish the lox would attack fulings too, would make raids a whole lot easier
I died π¦
tame some and they will π
Inter-biome enemies attack one another, but I'm not sure how to particularly focus efforts on a certain enemy. That might require a little research.
Loxen spawned on top of my dead body that's just rude
+1 for the correct use of the plural. π
Felings are just so satisfying to kill compared to a lot of valheim mobs
I think it has to do with the feling cackling
I feel like I'm squishing them with my frost hammer
Itβs definitely loxes
If Ox is Oxen, why would Lox be Loxes?
If you google the plural of lox itβs loxes
Iβm dying on that hill for no other reason than to argue
I'm gonan call them loxen because it's just a fun word
I might be wrong with Loxen, but if I Google 'plural of lox', the answer is 'lox'. I suspect you might be dead. (Like, the plural of sheep is sheep).
Google does also say the noun lox is uncountable but thatβs talking about irl lox anyway
smiffe calls them loxes for example π
The first thing says loxes for me
Of course itβs salmon though
I can't paste images. "Lox plural" was my search string.
Mine was βplural of loxβ
Pfft. The first thing your search term returns is "The noun lox is uncountable. The plural form of lox is also lox."
Nah thatβs second when I search it
Mine says both π€£ "lox or loxes"
Is it though? Like before there's even a URL link...
Loxes is before any links for me
Oh that's the salmon
Iβm ready to take up the position of Iβm right because I said so
lizard ox salmon?
Damn English. Whether you're right or not is more dependent on the word's etymology than any kind of logic.
Yep, because it's not just valuable artifacts we stole during the empire, it's entirely vocabularies.
Salmon is NOT a valuable artifact
it should be the plural for ox
Makes me inclined to give into loxen then but I have a hill to die on
I asked ChatGPT and it said "Lox" is the plural of "Lox" (just to throw one more opinion in there π )
Who is we, white man?
Put a wall around that hill and you can tame some loxen.
my gpt response is: In the context of "lizard-ox," the plural would be "loxen."
What part of experiencing the Lox in Valheim makes you think they're reptiles?
the scales on their skin maybe
The part where the devs say theyβre lizards
They also got lizard faces
Itβs the same with the hares
Why can't we tame the cute bunnies? D:
Good question
We, the British.
I imagine fencing in a hare would be pain
Just pick it up
Oh. I stand corrected then. I never saw lizards in them while playing.
I didnβt know till I heard it from smiffe tbh
Never looked at a lox that closely they usually donβt sit still and I donβt tame
You're in a Discord channel. The 'we' is intuitively members of the channel. π
The British colonized so much they just assume everyone else is also British now
Lol, we wish. We had to give most of it back after World War 2. And... we're going off-topic.
lol yeah
Oooohhh. Ok. Genetically, I'm 33% Irish, but culturally, I'm part of the British Empire's criminal displacement policy.
Y'all, please
Ok ok... I'm also 9% Scandinavian. Can we talk about how much more hygenic we are than the British?
Maybe in the general channel?
Thatβs kind of rude, man
the thing about english is that its quite mutable. lox being a made up thing, needs made up rules. the plural of lox is loxen and that's all I'll ever refer to them as.
But who decides on the made up rules is the question
Especially if the made up author is silent on the matter
You assume that the game devs decided on these names without consideration for etymology.
Thatβs probably a safe assumption for most of game dev
the people using the words do -- eg. if everyone decides that "decimate" means to completely obliterate rather than it's original meaning of "reduce by a 10th" well... the definition changes
If Iβm making up creatures I no longer care about the rules of languages thatβs for sure
Etymolgy is the easiest ways to name something π
Idk if itβs easier than just putting letters together
Roll some dice and pick a letter
OMG, @vocal vale , you're such a || as;dlkjhvfgnnasdlkjgf ||.
Iβm not about to READ so I can come up with a fantasy name. Iβll throw some vowels at some consonants and then pretend I know which is which
Thatβs an Ashlands spoiler ya know
Those creatures are suppose to be a secret
Porcupine or black sword?
any info on a more accurate date on ashlands release yet? or still, tbd?
frostner ||maybe porcupine over the sword -- but seriously, frostner stays surprisingly relevant for a long time especially if you upgrade it. although blackmetal is generally plentiful enough for you to make both pretty easily as well||
From what I've been able to find, TBD.
ty
Fixed.
I definitely want something else to counteract the weakness of the frost
Loxes are a pain >.>
Loxen*
Hey gang, just for the record - this is a frikkin' fun chat. I love the participation. π
There's some really good fantasy name generators online.
against loxen the blackmetal ategir is also something to consider. Not only is it good for dealing with them, but it also comes in clutch for the plains crops, and just mobs in general
That meadows music really is perfect, and timeless
Do what you need to do to hold out for Mistweaver. I will have children with that sword someday.
One of my favourite things about Valheim is the change in music. Even in a single biome, I can choose a base location among maybe three or four different soundtracks.
hi, does anyone know if draugr can take damage from slimebombs?
They do if you hit them directly. But not like 5 blunt would deal a lot to anything
Slimebomb? Do you mean Bile bomb, or Ooze bomb?
okay
The Dvergr aren't vulnerable to poison. They're immune to Spirit, but honestly, they're more valuable as allies than enemies.
draugr...
Sorry...
no problem, haha
Immune to poison. Club their frikkin' brains out!
yeah, I just did, I died a few times cuz I was messing around idk
So basically I was in this crypt and my food was running out of duration, then I just died xD I hadnt had a weapon so I thought I needed a weapon to kill the draugrs in the one room where I died. I couldnt get my stuff cuz they always killed me too fast, but then I tried out just waiting for a few seconds and then I was able to grab my stuff sneaky around the corner lol
Im depressed by the amount of skillpoints I lost, nothing new, but always terrifying xD
Skill loss on death never gets easier; imagine having 100 on everything and then you get chumped by some Seeker or something and everything is now 95.
such a pain in the butt, yeah xD
whee me is so forgetfull... put the portal stuff in the box near the mountain portal as not to forget to bring it to the mountain in the first place...then went into the cave and out of it again as i was running a bit low on HP... set of exploring a bit because enough HP to defeat wolves... and when i was halfway across the mountain it getting dark and really running out of food... i realized that my pocket portal is in the box on the other side... sheesh... I did not diex but killed more wolves on the way back and reached the portal with 80 HP left ... close call it was dark by that time ...
hahah
Channel pro tip: Paragraphs exist.
rumors -... hear say
whats the best tree for large amounts of wood?
do you just need normal wood?
yeah
Then I guess beeches
Is there another kind of tree (finewood/corewood) that produces more wood in total if you add up the different types?
but if I need wood I always farm trees like birch, oak and pines
because the other wood is pretty useful
you could plant a lot of oaks
I just need large amounts of coal
ahhhhhhhhhhhh
using a mod to turn special wood into normal
surtling farms
have you gotten into swamp already? because I recommend surtling farms
i might have to look into that, thanks for the idea
Got an obliterator?
If so fill that with all the junk you have too much of and you will get coal.
Go to the swamp and look for surtling spawners and make a farm out of it.
Ive always felt like the obliterator wasn't very good with that, maybe i dont know enough about how to get the most out of it
it is not great for resource efficiency
it's a garbage bin for bukeperries and excess trophies
The return is still atrocious though but you can farm a whole lot of crap really fast.
Got a greydwarf spawner farm and you can toss in all the resin, eyes, bukeperries, dandelions and trophies.
Even the stones can go in there.
Keep the wood though and make coal of it the regular way.
don't toss the resin -- it's fuel
don't toss eyes -- not only fuel, but critical food and portal ingredients
don't toss dandelions -- excellent chicken feed if you're not using it for health potions
don't toss bones -- late game fuel, crafting ingredient
You're getting rid of thrash you won't use and get something you will use.
It is as efficient as you should expect
Never get rid of thrash; Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax. They deserve your love.
The resin is only fuel if you use it as fuel and you get so much of it you can obliterate some.
Same with the eyes, if you have a few stacks you can obliterate the rest, you don't use em that much.
Dandelions are excellent chicken feed but again, you get so much that you can obliterate the rest once you have a few stacks.
once you pay off your car, mortgage, and student loans you can just use all your excess money to help out some nigerian princes
What if the Nigerian prince you're helping is trying to pay off his own mortgage/car/education? Are you buying into that?
My mother in law sent literally most of her money to some random guy online
For like 2-3 years
To fuel your fire would be a more apt comparison.
But you first need to have a few stacks of money so you will have enough to last you a while and an easy way to make more.
Sounds like you married 'genetically gullible'.
Iβm only in it for the money myself
Do we have an idea when Ashlands leaves the public test branch?
Legit! You definitely need a new car.
Dude I literally donβt have one right now youβre so right
I'm not sure I can help from here, but I hope that happens for you.
How are you gonna teach your son to drive without a car smh
Heβs old enough
Teaching the value of not owning a car would be great alternative
Hey there, is the Public Test Ashlands okay to play without any bugs and such ?
and do people know when is it going to be out officialy ?
Of course it has bugs, that's why it's in testing. Play at your own risk (with backups)
oh okay thanks
me and a friend just cant wait no longer
guess we will just backup the world and pray to Odin hahaha
We have one, I just donβt have my own
Thatβs not possible where Iβm from you just die
You have the company car
I suggest farming surtlings, they help with cores and coal
did they break the staff of protection? My bubble goes down SO fast now, even from skeletons and they do 0.1 dmg?
Not that I'm aware of. I presume you're talking about the current main release and not the beta version?
yea, current
I just upgraded my staff to level 3 and wanted to test it out and it keeps bursting after hardly any dmg
my blood magic is 33
dmg absorption 365
Yeah, I've never seen that. You're not running any mods, are you?
nope, 100% vanilla
The bubbles will take both pickaxe and chop damage where the character won't, so big stuff like trolls and abominations can break through them pretty quickly
this is why we need a bubble health bar π
Obviously, playing an unaltered game is considered playing it 'vanilla', but have you ever stopped to think about what it might look like to play a game 'neapolitan', or 'cookies-n-cream'?
When you really think about it, vanilla is the flavor of an orchid bean, an beautiful and exotic flower... how is that equated as plain? π
vanilla extract and vanilla bean are surprisingly different especially in unbaked foods like ice cream
Vanilla bean used in unbaked foods for centuries π
yeah, but see like... we've got cheap crappy vanilla ice cream here that is absolutely bland and boring, especially when compared to the expensive, gourmet stuff with real beans that is the epitome of what PitaBredMon just referenced
So, 'Vanilla' is also a spectrum? How interesting.
Learning to drive for the first on a 26ft box truck would probably make him one of the greatest drivers ever or have the shortest driving record
Fake vanilla extract vs real is a huge difference, too. Like fake banana flavor π They have their place, but they are different
But this is drifting from Valheim and is likely better for #general ....
I donβt care what anyone says the bananas from a bag of runts are the nastiest and sorriest excuse for βbananaβ flavored anything
I hear that's the flavor of bukeperries
or rather a combination of artificial banana, green apple, and grape
Fun fact: how we taste that artificial banana flavour (isoamyl acetate) is genetic. Some people hate it, and some don't.
I buy bags of the banana runts because I don't have that broken gene π Lavender tastes like soap to me, though. But I do like cilantro.
I can't eat anything with protein powder in it
I canβt eat anything without protein powder in it
I know cilantro as 'coriander', but you obviously know that there's a similar genetic effect there too. My wife and I both hate it, but we're by no means a consensus.
Here coriander is typically the spice from the seed of the cilantro plant, the leaves we use as ingredients in salsas and such and call it cilantro.
Cilantro and coriander seeds come from the same plant, but they are very different in flavor and cannot be used interchangeably.
yo guys,how can i install the ashlands update?
Not by interrupting our cilantro talk thatβs for sure
There's a pinned post that tells you how to join the beta channels, and the instructions are there
what channel?
Ah, interesting. I need to look into that. I don't know if we conflate it here, or whether we just don't get some part of the plant. Good info! Thanks. π
#valheim-public-test . You can add yourself to the public tester role in id:customize in order to get access to that, just like the pinned post I was directing you to says.
tysm
Any estimate date for Ashlands release yet
No. It's currently in testing, and there are a number of known issues. It depends on how long it takes to fix (and even decide how to fix) those as to when it releases.
Any non spoiler issues?
Not much that really affects earlier biomes, so no. Clipping on new pieces, enemy and environment behavior, resource rates, stuff like that are the major things.
hello guys, i want to play valheim with someone if anyine is interested
Oh I see. I won't test it, I just want to wait for its release
Best place to find other players is #1024264966712340510 , dedicated to that stuff
they are easy to parry and die in a few hits
wasnt able to
parry harder
Yeah, makes sence
Thats my allgame problem, just cant parry a thing without hands
deathsquito is easy somehow
Seekers resist all physical damage. They're not so tough when elemental damage comes into play though, like with frost arrows, ooze bombs and the Frostner (and other weapons you get after getting Mistlands resources going)
im pretty sure a lvl 3 black metal shield can parry a 1* Seeker. Its been a while since ive been in Plains gear tho so i might be misremembering
but also If youre having troubles against Seekers. Wear the Root harnesk. ITs pierce resistance will massively help in reducing the damage that Seekers do; and as long as you carry Fire WIne for the Gjalls fireballs and Dvergr Fire mages Or swap to your padded or carapace armor they cant really harm you either.
ok i got into spare world to practice
and fixed my mistakes with parrying
and now its easy as never before
how to give other player admin permission?
i thought i need to press and let it go when the attack comes in, but its enough to press and hold
have the devs ever let us know if we'll get 45Β° stairs that you can actually walk up normally?
Please do not ask the same question in multiple channels, it makes it harder for people to provide you help.
ok
White list them in the admin server thing
but where can i find such thing
I'm going back and forth on starting a new server to check out Mistlands and Ashlands. I reckon it does, but just to be sure: if we get out of public test, any worlds created therein can be transferred to main branch?
Depends on if you host or if you pay for a host
Oh look someone answered better in the other channel
Is there any ETA for Ashlands on live?
nope, it will be out after devs are happy with the ptb version, but it will be out no later than june 30th 23:59:59 π
so i've been thinking about new world new megabase for the next big release... it seems like the ideal place would be on the border of plains/mistlands?
plains can grow everything except mushrooms, which can be grown in mistlands
warring mobs can provide extra resources/protection from raids
mistlands provides nice elevated areas for scenic overlook
thoughts? agree/disagree?
such a place is where I think I will want to have the next base in my game ... for exactly the reasons you gave.
I think near ML coast too, so you can find a nice fishing hole.
Yeah I was kinda taking the coast for granted since with the exception of like a mountain base you'd always want water access
I'm so mad at myself RN. I forgot to hotkey my health mead, so of course Yag caught me with meteors and a laser beam one right after another.
it's okay though cuz right now I'm listening to the sweet sound of 'Cheep cheep.'
you can grow all the forest and mountains plants in the plains??
how did i not know that, thats so useful
Yep
hello! any good advice for a beginner? (~20h played)
Take your time and enjoy exploring
dont feel forced to progress
oh I'm exploring alright, I'm done with my "continent" and just crossed the ocean on a raft to kick some elder ass lol
burn that tree !
just got to the swamp π
it does however seem pretty small, idk if it's just bad luck or if I'm missing something
yeah you want a big swamp, may need to keep splorin
could always sail around a bunch of continents and look for the telltale dead trees and green ooze
unfortunate. might need to make a proper boat then lol
gonna run back to it and die for the 20th time trying to figure out if there's anything else in there..aaaand then pack for a long trip again
Bad luck happens a lot. Generally just means you gotta keep looking
thank god portals are a thing
thanks! elder dropped a key so I didn't know if I was supposed to find something in that small patch of land
man deer were so hard to get at the beginning, felt like they'd run away if I breathe their way, and now I just run past them before they even notice me
I'm assuming I should definitely not be in the mountains rn, correct?
ΠΠΎΠ³Π΄Π° Π²ΡΠΉΠ΄Π΅Ρ ΠΎΠ±Π½ΠΎΠ²Π°?
I'm sorry, but it's English only on this discord server.
not
Gratz on defeating the Elder.
The key in itself gives you a hint as where you should be next.
And "No", it's not the mountains. π
oh wow. I found a new biome..plains? and got 2shot by a gnome half my size
@miki not the plains, that even worse than the moutains
I was looking for a swamp π I think I saw some dead trees that way but I just needed to test the gnome and mosquito looking thing
but how's that worse than mountains lol
Yeah plains is definitely after mountains - and stay away from those mosquitos fr
well now I know lol. never thought mosquitos would be more dangerous than wolves
@miki do you know the order of bioms yet or do you just want to learn by yourself as you go?
Finding a swamp can be easier done from water by using a Karve.
Once you've spotted one, try to find a friendly (aka Meadows or Black Forest) biome and enter the swamp from there.
I don't know it, I'm just winging it. if it's something I really wanna know I look it up but not most things
karve? the bigger boat?
#1 killer on the planet irl
No, the one you can craft after you got the Bronze nails.
Which you should be able to if you have defeated The Elder
once you have a really good bow mosquitos are a little easier to take care of unless you miss then just parry and swing and they are less deadly. but thats once youve beat the mountains.
yeahhh I think it's that one
I'd check but I'm still running back to get my loot lol
well it's the bigger boat in my case cuz the only other one I have is a raft xd
it can out run the serpent
id highly recommended searching for a Kraken in the ocean and making a harpoon for the serpent. once you stick it drag it to shore and kill that mother f'er
its not deadly
No, we don't have Kraken in this game.
What we do have are LEVIATHAN's. Which are NOT Kraken
yeah leviathans thats it
couldnt remeber the name
@miki your gonna die in the ocean a lot with out this info
what's parry bonus guys?
does anyone know of any open servers for people to join and have fun
@dee depends on the server im playing lol
the additional block strength from successfully parrying (blocking during the short window just before getting hit) an enemy's attack
Which means?
@random cave Anyway, there is no "best way to play this game"; but there is a set out path you can follow.
Basically that one is Meadows -> Black Forest -> Swamp -> Mountains -> Plains -> Mistlands (for now).
If you're still learning the game, don't go too fast. Instead consolidate each biome until you feel you can control it's monsters without being killed all over.
Pick your favorite weapon and stick to it as much as possible, but be aware that some bosses may require / demand you to use another type of weapon instead.
Harvest as many resources there as possible to upgrade your weapons, armor and food before actually going to the next boss.
If you take your time, set up your base defenses and keep your weapons and armor at their top levels, you'll find that this can be a very enjoyable game. And once you know some of the "ins and outs" you will be able to skip a part of the process and do everything faster.
But if you rush it a bit too much and as a result die too often, you may actually start to dislike the game and wait to play it again for a long time.
Which would be a shame, as it's a great game. (otherwise so many won't be playing it, eh? π )
Less damage being taken or more stagger seconds for enemies?
both? (do enemies get staggered from regular blocks?)
No, but can you parry with tower shield?
no
ok, and is the carapace shield a tower type shield?
I never used any other than round shields and bucklers
no
it is a normal shield π able to parry
Carapace is another "round" shield in behavior, even though it's not actually round.
Thanks so much
Same to you
Somoene portuguese to play valheim?
You could check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 if there's a Portuguese player or group available.
I can play with english people too, i just wanna play hahah
I will see
Well, you can find lots of people who want to play with others in there.
So I hope you'll find someone. π
ty!
Can u plant raspberries or blueberries or nah
Nope
nuh uh
Ye can with mods π
Yeah, but we don't talk about them.
Well, not in this channel that is.
You can discuss them in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966
Ash around the corner? π
is there a dev command to remove the mist in mistlands?
The mist is friendly. Go in blindly, no worries
just started playing the game with a friend again bc of ashlands release soon
bronze age rn, mining attracts much less mobs than before i swear
Hello all! Will someone reply to me or ping me and inform me if my dedicated server will work properly on the PTB? Have not tried it yet
Users may experience different results for a number of reasons if it last longer than 3 hours contact your family physician.
yeah before when we were mining in the bronze age we got jumped by a troll every few mins i swear. the free troll hide was great though
love how infinitely based this server is for having voice chats. I don't ever use them but it's cool to just see it.
Can you run the Public test only off xbox, I downloaded inside hub, did they install and queen drop still show as placeholder
Youre jsut lucky then, i always get 3 of the buggers in each direction all throwing 6 damage rocks
I know it must have been asked before, but do ashlands bring something significant to previous biomes? Contemplating with the group if we should start the server already, no spoilers please π
as far as i know, not really.
earliest thing i think it changes is changing the placeholder queen drop into a non placeholder item
are abominations end swamps? or do they need fire? they're so tanky lol
Your question doesn't make sense
quick question.. the cape of odin is it only avail for closed beta players or is it avail to steam early access players?
i bought the game when it first launched in early access
let me rephrase then. are abominations harder than most mobs in swamps? because they're very tanky. or do they just need something like fire arrows to take damage, cuz they're made out of wood
slash damage and fire damage
It should be noted they only take normal damage from slash. It's just better compared to other physical damage types because blunt is resisted and pierce is highly resisted. Those resistances are also part of why it feels tanky, if you aren't using the right kind of weapon to fight them effectively.
Abominations are like the trolls of the swamps
Not a boss, not a miniboss either, just a particularly strong enemy
thank you! precisely the answer I needed
At least a couple of decent strategies exist to dispatch them without much trouble. The larger tanky enemies always seem like immovable objects until you learn the right tactics for each of them. Taking risks (like attempting to block/parry and melee them instead of spamming arrows from a distance) is also a great learning opportunity.
yeah I tried to close the distance, noticed I was barely tickling it but it was hitting like a truck, and backed off xd
if I put a 3rd portal down with the same name as the first 2, will it be linked to the 1st one, second, or neither?
it links to the next portal you place with the same name
ahh so 1 and 2 stay linked and 3 needs a nr 4 to link to
yeah
unfortunate. I need to move a portal I have really far away but the trip to moving it is quite dangerous
and if I die it's very far away
what biomes are you going to have to travel through?
plains and some swamps (I have ~25h into the game, only getting into swamp dungeons now) , the issue is the mobs from swamps that chase me to the end of the world , namely deathsquitos
thats tough
I'll just put another set of 2 portals down then remove the first 2 to get the mats, not worth the long walk there lol
yeah, tip for deathsquitos tho. When they fly in the straight line to perform their attack, you can shoot them, most bows should kill them
I could always just be careful to squash them as they run towards me but it's quite late and my reflexes rn aren't great lol
halberd does the trick just fine with the special attack
don't even have to aim
yeah that works as well (i love polearms)
do mobs / animals attack crops? I planted a whole field of carrots, 60 something, and only got 20
any word for when ashlands will leave public test
yes
it all makes sense now π
I would recommend just having a few stake walls around them, depending on where the base is you can notice and kill mobs attacking it.
question is, do the stake walls damage me as well?
the spike traps do, the verticle stake walls dont damage anything, they are mainly just used as fairly cheap and durable walls that dont get damaged in rain.
i use verticle stake walls for crops
ohhh I know the ones you're talking about. I put down some of the flimsier looking ones, I just have a small meadows base
I usually just set up a perimeter of stake walls around my bases/outposts, it takes quite a bit of wood tho.
yeah I don't have the patience for that lol.
I like to take this game slow
same
I fully intend on making a giant stone castle once i conquer the plains
if you cant get enough wood for the stake walls, generally just put them around crops and other fragile things
I usually despise building in game, until a wave of inspiration hits me and I spend the next 5h making my base good π
It helps having a second person though, 2 people chopping wood with bronze axes goes really fast
for building i first frame my houses with beams, makes stability less of an issue.
no issue at all if I don't get raided lol
If you are making a big house beams are a little more useful yeah
yeah, right now raids shouldnt be an issue, eventually your gonna want to invest in a perimiter wall
I love my little hut, as long as I have enough space for stations and storage, then I need to upgrade
helps against most mobs, not to mention walls completly stop blob raids
oh no I turned raids off. needless source of anxiety, got enough without them lol
oh ok, that makes sense then.
I'm here for a very relaxed experience, to have fun and pass some time
Im pretty much a hoarder so i need a lot of space for storage
yeah i understand
i have an entire building dedicated to chests
Valid
ok burial chamber time
I have like 16 chests i think but also only barely in the swamps yet
wish me luck
hah, got you. I got 18! π
Brb gonna go tear down my walls and remake my house entirely out of stacked chests
have fun
my friend almost died to the skeletons outside of the chamber, gonna wait for him to regen before i enter
u got it
there is unfortunately only 5 sunken crypts in the swamp that i have access to
π
I have about 96 in 3 storehouses, 20 in my normal house and another 15+ around the base
is there any way to upgrade your hp/stamina without consuming food?
kind of stupid that serpent meat stacks to weigh more than you could ever carry
i dont think so, closest thing is the eikthyr buff which reduces sprinting stamina
well that just makes me sad
food isnt that hard to get tho
anway a 1 star skeleton insta staggers me if i parry so thats fun
waiting outside the chamber to heal
i mean armor kind of increases the amount of hits you can take
well I guess choosing a direction and running for an hour paid off. I just found the location of the 3rd boss and I'm already 3/4 of the way there lol
but I mean, if you respawn on 25 health, there's not many hits u can take to begin with..no matter the armor lol
if you have 25 hp and youre wearing carapace, not much can hurt you in the meadows, black forest, or swamp
carapace? many things hurting me in swamp
mistlands armor
the only armor that helps with stamina , sort of, is the fenris armor set. you get +3% running speed with each of the three pieces.
FYI, fenris is mountain-tier armor. next biome after swamp
oh the wolf armor?
wolf armor (with silver & wolf hide) is heavy armor. fenris set is light armor, comparable to troll hide and root sets
The whole point of food is to increase your stats, there's no reason to have another source to increase them
If you're going to explore far from home, you shouldn't go at base stats in the first place
oh wonderful the 1 star skeleton was gaurding 3 cores and elder vegvisir
well that sucks then. I also don't know how to get that fenris armor then. will find out once I can run mountain!
if you want a hint on how to get it i can tell you
nope thanks
dodge, dont block. they do poison
that makes more sense, kinda forgot what they did bc i almost never see them
is it pure poison or poison+blunt?
both
ok
think of a mace dipped in poison
ty
so many neat mobs in valheim and most are limited to dungeons you'll prob never need to visit after a few times. ghosts, rancid remains (aside from skel suprise), everything in frost caves
is there a way to trash items? trying to throw stuff away but I just end up picking it back up cuz it doesn't despawn
wraiths are also pretty rare to stumble upon bc night in the swamps are hell
true
you can use the obliterator to destroy stuff.
also, if you drop it far away from base structures, it'll despawn eventually
I can actually craft that, just noticed. thank you!
i forget can you put coal in the obliterator?
you can put anything in. Why would you want to put coal in?
it won't make a diamond π
i was just curious bc if you use it enough you would get so much coal as a result
no, because it's at less than 1:1 ratio. eventually you'll run out of coal.
yeah ik its not 1:1 but still
totally valid concern , even though wood can't even catch fire - wiki says lightning strikes it. if I put it next to my house, is my house gonna get damaged by lightning? π
Yes.
you want to buy a perpetual motion machine from me?
oh wait really?
Keep at least a 10m radius of bare earth around it.
then I guess it wasn't a dumb question after all lol
it'll damage anything inside that radius, even you.
"the only problem of building a perpetual motion machine is hiding the battery"
(anything besides black marble)
it's not a lot of damage tho
true. still enough to get you in trouble eventually
I saw a video of some guy using it to slaughter his chickens.
man I should ask the dumb questions before I actually do dumb shit way more often
it's always better to learn from someone else's mistakes
u know what, that's solid advice .
goddammit the sun's coming up again. I need sleep.
perfectly summarizes my addiction to this game
late night ore transportation with the boys hits different
WOOO I did it
it's beautiful.
forgot food on the fire again. +2 coal. nice.
goodnight !
gn
wait since when did bees attack mobs that damage player built beehives i just watched them kill a neck thats actually so cool
What is a good biome for an endgame base?
I usually have a base in every biome, but i would go with plains
Ok thanks!
meadows are also good
question
if i tame a wolf can my friend command it or only i the tamer
taming a wolf rn in the process
i think your friend could as well, bc its considered part of the player faction once tamed but i could be wrong
cant gatekeep my animals rip
does the ward protect everything ive placed down or just an area around it
the area around it
just gonna have another minecraft dog sitting in my house again π
mayhaps
Anyway to remove perm tree in swamp blocking a crypt, the only crypt in a swamp i just found
forcedelete
its a devcommand
fun fact, queen bees are one of the rarest items in valheim
when is the release date of the ashlands officially ?
was smoke changed? I feel like it dissipates more quickly than it used to
can someone give me a fun seed at random?
I mean, I generally get a Queen Bee for every bee hive i find. so not sure if that constitutes as rare
No official release date as of now, ther are still quite a few things that need to be fixed on PTB before it drops. and since IronGate takes Weekends off, the next PTB patch is scheduled for monday I believe
Almost every other resource is renewable or you can find a lot more of it. Probably no more than 100 hives per world
i suppose, but when are you ever gonna need 100 hives for honey. thats 400 honey per harvest. I get like 15-20 hives for my runthroughs and that serves me well for all my honey needs
how hard is ashlands?
I find mistland hard but after a while, things got a little bit easier
Hard, but doable now after the aggro changes
ashlands are basically the same, but for more info we should take this to #valheim-public-test π
/\
oh playtest?
how do you get the role
yep, we should avoid discussing anything ashlands related outside of public test channels when its not on live branch yet π
βοΈ
yah apparentl
id:customize and select "i want to be a public tester"
Surely we can discuss things in the public release...?
yeah I'm not playing ashlands until public release
but I do want sneak peeks and stuff
well ashlands are not yet in in live branch, they are in ptb
yes, anything on the Live official release can be discussed here. but the Ashlands while one Public test Release should remain in #valheim-public-test
I meant the public-ly relead Ashlands trailer.
Gotcha
I have no Asklands info other than from the trailer
still will be most likely deleted π anything that spoilers ashlands, albeit it being shown in the trailer, will probably be https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202177337328934973/1232441444707340348
can someone answer my question #valheim-help
Didn't want to or mean to break any rules.
oh no worries π nothing broken
there isnt very many of them so i could see the argument that its one of the lowest quantity items
