Hallo

#

i just joined this group

pliant hatch
#

Well, for me it's pretty easy, actually.

I divide my time in the game to do various things.
Like spending time at wood cutting, while my plants grow. When having enough wood, smelt ores while making coal at the same time; interrupt that by harvesting my plants and plant the seedlings, make some food and go mining for metals. Before going back to my base and do other things.

I'm at day 420+ and I've just spend my first 5-6 days in Mistlands.
Meaning somewhere around day 400 I killed Yagluth.
A lot of players have defeated the Queen by then.

round lichen
#

Are we still talking about Yag? Bro is definitely tough but all it takes is full silver and frostner

pliant hatch
#

Nah, we moved from Yag to the more general aspect of Valheim.

half dragon
#

definitely not... add in some fire protection so you don't burn to death trading your health to do some damage

round lichen
#

Queen fight I did fully mage with fire, protection, and undead staff. So fkn fun. Didn’t die either!

warm sandal
#

wait did you try to kill yag with arrows?

random cave
#

anyway. that's just my opinions, even as a no lifer, as a casual player, things are way too hard and take way too long to achieve in this game. I'm no game journalist, I promise, lol. I'm certain the game won't simply change because of my opinion alone, but maybe more people have run into the same issues, and at some point it'll be enough to consider tweaking the game for us casuals to be able to properly enjoy as well. the base game is a shame, would be a shame if people got turned off by these things and gave up on it early.

warm sandal
#

small wonder it took you so long he is resistant to pierce

vocal rivet
#

ONLY? That's about twice as long as it should take.

half dragon
#

40 minutes with arrows isn't even bad. took 30 minutes in melee... but I think that's on me. I completely forgor about frostner and just went to smack it with black metal axe 😂

vocal rivet
#

I think 20-30m is about par for most of the bosses in the game if prepared properly.

half dragon
#

for me most bosses took 10-15 minutes with proper weapon

random cave
pliant hatch
#

And if it matters, I fought Yag twice in my current game.
First time I used 20 two star wolves and a bunch of Lox to kill him and nearly died once despite him being 50% health when going in.

2nd fight I had to flee a few times and barely made it out with 1HP left. So I took a pot, waited until I was healed up and went back in again to bash him with Frostner.
Both fights took me about 40 minutes in total, while the very first time I fought him, it took me 45-60 minutes.
So the fight is doable, but you need to learn how to deal with it. And that's something that takes time.

azure yacht
#

Increase the resource slider to 3x

vocal rivet
#

They're already doing that.

random cave
#

this, however, goes way past any survival I've played before lol

azure yacht
#

There are even hidden commands that you can use to tweak the difficulty further

Like ||SkillGainRate, NoWorkbench, SkillLoss (can't recall the proper name for this one), etc||

#

I assume that for the last one, you could set it to zero and ||disable skill loss completely||

half dragon
#

my biggest problem with yag was that you'll have to spend more time runinng around dodging than actually fighting back. Which is frankly quite annoying

random cave
#

man I was smart to craft 3 stacks of frost arrows, I only have 50 left lol. anyway, gonna grab a bite, running around in circles for so long made me hungry. thanks for the chat , see ya guys around!

pliant hatch
#

If you're able to use the fingers to get behind him, you can wack him with Frostner 3-4 times before he turns around.
After a 5th whack you need to move out of the way; but with Bonemass power it's pretty much doable.

#

The irony - or sadism of the devs? - of fighting Yag is that the best power to fight Yag is the one Yag gives you.

half dragon
#

and weapons suitable for killing it are in the next biome

pliant hatch
#

Frostner is a very decent weapon to deal with Yag, given it's frost, blunt and spirit damage.
After all, Yag is a skeleton and undead.

azure yacht
half dragon
#

but it's still a melee weapon, which by default makes it not too great of an option. Would rather fight it from range so can actually keep hitting it right after dodging a few attackss

pliant hatch
azure yacht
#

90% of yag's dmg is elemental

The little blunt he deals can be ignored from armor alone

half dragon
#

lightning damage from direct hits would be the biggest threat. but even with fire resist standing in that AoE fire is not good for health.

vocal vale
#

Elder power op for yag

pliant hatch
#

Hence why I said that the best power to fight Yag is Yag's power.

half dragon
#

does it stack with resist?

vocal vale
half dragon
#

could if it's different kind of damage mitigation

pliant hatch
#

From wiki about Yag's power:

Provides resistance to fire, frost and lightning. Resistance effects reduce damage taken by 50% - 75%, depending on the amount of armor. Maximum reduction is reached when the armor value is at least half of the incoming raw damage.

And which kinds of damage does Yagluth?

vocal vale
#

Is that really stacking then if it’s not the same thing

long tree
#

If you do not mind running into the mistlands and sticking to the valleys so you have a little bit of sight, then the easiest way to get Yag is to find 5 black cores and make a staff.

#

Especially in hard combat, it is good to try and jump ahead.

azure yacht
azure yacht
pliant hatch
#

I used that power plus fire pots and HP pots for backup and did the fight faster as I used to do in my last playthrough.
So it may not be the ideal power, it's still useful.

I also said that Eikthyr power may actually be better, considering all the running that needs to be done.

#

The only thing that's absolutely certain is that both Elder and Moder power are useless when fighting Yagluth.

half dragon
long tree
#

True, but Yag is very difficult on hard combat. If you take off the harnesk to keep from being weak to fire, then a stupid deathsquito is still going to fly in no matter how many crafting tables you put down. 😦

plush umbra
#

eikthyr seemed to be more impactful for me too

long tree
#

I would love to see a friendly fire option. That would be extremely helpful for solo players. Not as nice for multi.

pliant hatch
#

I had Fenris leggings and tunic to protect me in that fight.
And a padded helmet for the extra armor.

You're on the main vanilla branch which doesn't have the new Ashlands content yet.
To help test the new biome additions and have access to the new biome you can join the public test branch.

If you don't have access to the ptb, head to ⁠Channels & Roles and select "I want to be a public tester"

Okay, please tell me that I'm not the only one to put the wooden walls face outside, so the horizontal beams face inside. I saw some YT vids and everyone build them the other way around..... ._.

What have people been saying about Ashlands? Is it fun? Most people really like it? I am one of the people who really did not like Mistlands so I have not played much Valheim since Mistlands released.

New to Valheim, getting hard carried by friends, but wanna be more useful to them. What can I do kek. Can't even hunt deers or boars on my own because my ability to spot them in the wild sucks so hard and I occasionally waste arrows when I take my shot.

Also suck at combat, probably because I'm reacting like I would with dynamic combat patterns but the mobs in the game has an attakc pattern. But kinda wanna cheese if I can

ornate sigil
vocal vale
#

For cheese bow and atgeir are op

ornate sigil
#

Or practice your combat*

shrewd kernel
#

I really do wanna be the dps lmaoooo

#

but yeah I think it pays to be useful in everything

vocal vale
#

Bows are a ton of dps once you have higher bow skill

#

Atgeir is good cheese because it stuns

#

Staggers whatever

Frost hammer (frostneir?) Is also a great weapon for mid game due to the slow effect.

I’m currently upgrading my buildings in my base to prepare for ashlands, and I know there’s a ||new boat being added. I’m making a dock and I need to know the dimensions of the new boat for the dock to look and function how I want it to.

Don’t know if it’s a good idea to block with staffs in the near future lmao

merry pebble
tiny tiger
#

Does the first portal you set up act as the return portal if you have 3 portals with the same tag?

merry pebble
#

if you have 3 portals with the same tag then only 2 of them will be connected

#

one will be unoperational untill you make 4th portal with the same name

tiny tiger
#

So 1,2 3,4 link together 5,6 and so on?

lunar sapphire
#

1 and 2 will link, 3 and 4 will link

merry pebble
#

yep, but its better to have just different names, because when some of the portals get destroyed and they have all same name they will start connecting with any other portal

lunar sapphire
#

If using non named portals - but you can shuffle around named portal order easily

tiny tiger
#

So rn in the game there’s no way to have a portal as like a hub portal

#

Where you can place a portal anywhere that goes to it if it already has a connection

merry pebble
#

you can have 1 portal that you rename when you want to go somewhere

tiny tiger
#

I guess

lost sentinel
#

i usually put signs with all my portal tags if i want just 1 to use at all times

merry pebble
#

but the most common strategy i see is making a portal hub somewhere, if you want to have only 1 portal in your base then make it link to portal hub where you have lots of portals to go anywhere you want 😄

tiny tiger
#

I guess when I think about it having two portals at base would work so I have the portal to the hub and the portal that acts as an available portal to teleport to when exploring far away, then when you are finished you can add a new portal in the hub and at the place and remove the connecting portal

Have you guys tried playing the immersive difficulty?

why cant use dead raiser? i have 100 eitr

do you have 100 eitr?

plush umbra
#

yep

fair charm
#

You don't have 100 eitr

plush umbra
#

pink number 100

fair charm
#

If you've got exactly 100 eitr from food then you have 99.9999999999etc eitr and the game rounds it up for display but not for use

plush umbra
#

then how

fair charm
#

Make seeker aspic

#

Seeker aspic and stuffed mushroom

#

Yggdrasil porrige too expensive for what it is

plush umbra
#

ok

fair charm
#

I'm personally not a huge fan of the design choice that food decays instantly but can't be reapplied until halfway through the duration but it's how the devs want it

#

Admittedly it's not something you'd run into weird hard limitations like this except for in the one specific use case of eitr use

That's my main problem, I can't kill the hares if I can see them

plush umbra
#

you can try and chase them into water

fair charm
#

Yeah but it's still annoying, I also didn't want to use magic, I just want to use bow and sword

nocturne wolf
#

Clear an area with wisp torches or find an area with no mist for hunting

fair charm
#

Yes, it's still anooying

nocturne wolf
#

How? Without mist it's similar to hunting deer?

fair charm
#

I mean, I had an area that used to spawn heaps of misthare, popped down a bunch of torches, and now they spawn a lot less frequently

nocturne wolf
#

Wisp torches dont affect spawns, that's just rng

fair charm
#

Also if you miss, which is possible because the hare hitbox is smaller than the model, then the rabbit will sprint off and you've got to chase the damn thing down

plush umbra
#

easier to leave it some other mobs hunting them

surely that's already been requested, there's even a mod for it (aware that channel exists)

fair cairn
pliant hatch
#

Oh it may have been suggested. But I dunno if it's been thought through they way you just did.

There's a big difference between stating: "We need an option to craft in bulk" in the suggestions post and and stating we need that option, including adding how it could be implemented.
Think of it like baking a cake; when you read : "Mix ingredients and bake it in an oven" is a lot more difficult as when reading the entire recipe and how to bake that cake.
Goes for programming and implementing as well.

# shrewd kernel Parry as in block, right?

Parry is when you wait until their attack is just about to hit you and then you block, it will stagger them and make them take 2.5x damage, if you're good at it then it makes the game extremely easy especially with your teammates around to keep hitting it while you parry

Even if that last save was made manually.

@narrow oriole have your friend try waiting for a minute or 2 AFTER closing the game since the game (by default) cloud saves on exit.

ornate sigil
half dragon
#

I don't think magic is meant for raiding mines... or at least not elemental magic. Never died even once raiding multiple mines with melee, but now didn't get all that far in and already died. For sure would need a lot more levels to make the mana cost more manageable

pliant hatch
#

Why not use the Ooze bombs or - if you have them - the Bile bombs to clear out most area's before using magic to deal with those left behind?
I found those items pretty useful, although those seeker soldiers are still a pain in the butt. And in other places too.

half dragon
#

or I could just go back to melee and cut cost and do it faster that way...

ornate sigil
#

also, regarding the queen, I have stumbled on her arena 2/3 times before finding a boss finder stone...that might just be my RNG luck though.

#

much like how my friend almost always has headwinds when sailing and I have tailwinds 70+% of the time

pliant hatch
#

I checked the seed with the Valheim Map generator, but it seems the PTB already moved the locations of the Queen to other spots due to Ashlands terrain changes.
Which makes that site a bit useless right now.

it does warn that things are in flux due to PTB and may not be up-to-date till things (updates) slow down

pliant hatch

Thing is, I started this playthrough before joining the PTB.
And going back to my back up save would also throw me back 2 bosses.
So I guess it's just keepin searching and hoping I would get that vegvisir at some point.

Maybe ask in a PTB channel?

pliant hatch

Perhaps instead of starting with "Ancient", start by typing "Bark" and see what shows up as a hint after that.
Not all items have an ingame ID similar to what the item name in-game is.

#

And FYI, I'm using the PTB and spawning Ancient bark using the right ID works for me.

That's not true. And that goes for that statement of @snow trellis as well.
But as mentioned before, this is the channel about Valheim game issues, not issues about how other people behave in their servers.
That should either be discussed in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202174832729661470 as mentioned by Derek already or perhaps in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 where you can actually talk about that server.

As for written help:

Make sure you got fully upgrade leather amor and a maximum upgraded club to fight the skellies.
A torch works too, but a bit slower.

For Trolls, use a bow with fire arrows and attack them in sneak mode if you don't want to fight them toe-to-toe.

If you do want to melee them, use a spear. And make sure you're always able to roll away.

# abstract wind i started this game yesterday and im addicted

In that case, it's a very good idea to take things slow.
Learn the basics, craft all the possible weapons and upgrade them as far as you can.
Collect everything you can collect, because eventually everything you can collect has a purpose.

Read the wiki if you want to know more, as there's quite some useful information over there. As well as on the Steam Forum and Reddit.

No, not really.

But with the drop from that boss you may consider to create a tool.
Find yourself a nice spot near the coast - and not to far from the spawn point - and mine out a trench around your house and a bit extra land for future expansions.

You would be pretty safe with that.

That depends at how you're doing.
It's normal to struggle in the first area / biome when you're new.
Over time you'll get to understand the basics and the next start that area will be a lot easier for you.

That won't probably the last time, but you will respawn.
Try to get your items back and try again.
Also, watch out for that big crow as he's giving you hints. Keep an eye at your inventory as everything you pick up can be used at some point.

I advise by starting to pick up wood and stones, so you can craft a weapon and a hammer.
Pick up the berries and mushrooms you see, because you can eat them.
Try to find a broken house - without beehive - and repair the walls and roof so you got a place to live in.
Make sure you got a campfire in there and the equipment to cook meat.
After that, start to look to upgrade to better weapons and armor.

I'm sure you'll manage.

When you have created your roof, leave one part open.
Put the 2m beams at the corners, connect those and put the triangular roof piece on that.
Should be sufficient enough to let the smoke out.

If you are refering to smoke from a fire, then you are asking about a chimney. most people will leave one corner of the roof open and build a open box (chimney) that lets the smoke out above the roof.

It depends at your gear.
With maxed out leather outfit, a maxed out wooden shield and a maxed out club plus having full health due to food it's easy.
With the ragged tunic, lvl 1 shield and club and eating cooked deer, boar and neck meat or honey it'll be a lot harder.

whats the best way to get coasl

ebon cargo
#

Yo

pliant hatch
#

By using a charcoal kiln. Which requires surtling cores.

But there's a trick you can use.

As soon as you have five surtling cores, build the Kiln and create a wooden chest full of charcoal.
Then demolish the kiln and use the same surtling cores to create a smelter.
Since you got the coal in a chest nearby, smelting ores is a piece of cake.

vocal vale
#

That’s usually a waste of time if you’re not playing with some kind of self imposed challenges or bad seed rng

#

Better off just searching for more crypts than swapping crafting stations

#

I had a playthrough where I only had 7 cores for like 50 hours and the swapping is horrible long term

abstract wind
#

wait what materials do i need for to craft the smelter

vocal vale
#

Guess it doesn’t hurt while learning the game though

abstract wind
#

i finally got five cores

vocal vale
pliant hatch
#

It may be a waste of time for someone who's got 100's of hours in this game.
But for a new player who's not fond of entering burial chambers as everything it's his / her first, swapping cores until (s)he does have better gear to get more is a valid alternative.

vocal vale

You have the recipe unlocked

abstract wind
#

i dont see it

oh wait its in the hammer im stupid

pliant hatch
#

If you only have 5 cores, make the kiln first.

abstract wind
#

i do ok thasnk you

#

can i get bronze with it ?

pliant hatch
#

No.

To create bronze you need to have copper and tin ingots.
And a forge.

abstract wind
#

i do have copper and tin

pliant hatch
#

Ores or have you smelted them into bars?

abstract wind
#

ores

pliant hatch
#

How many?

abstract wind
#

whats a forge

#

15 copper 14 tin both ores

pliant hatch
#

Build the Kiln and make 40-50 coal.

abstract wind
#

k

#

then wha\t should i do get five more cores ?

pliant hatch
#

After that, make the smelter and smelt all your copper and all your tin.
When you get bars, you will get new recipes, one of them is to build a forge.
At that one you can create bronze with 2 copper / 1 tin bar (ingot).

abstract wind
#

oh ok thank you for a forge do you need smelting cores btw ?

pliant hatch
#

Getting 5 more cores is a good idea; because you will need them.
You will need a lot more of them in the future for other things as well, so if you get more than 10, keep picking them up.

paper marsh
#

You can break the kiln down once you have coal, and make it into a smelter. But I highly recommend getting more cores though, you're eventually gonna be wanting multiple kilns and smelters at the same time

abstract wind
#

oh wait good idea

#

but im gonna need a forge anyway so it dosent matter

#

im gonna getg a finewood bow before going back to nlack forestg

#

by the way how do you get bench level 4

pliant hatch
#

And another tip, when you see only rock while mining a copper node, it's not the end of that node.
There's a lot of copper hidden under it.

One thing you may do is mining out around it first, so you know how large it actually is. And then mine the entire copper node.
You should end up with about 90 copper ore from one copper node.

abstract wind
#

node ?

#

oh ok

paper marsh
#

When you mine copper, dig below where you mined it. There's moer copper underground

pliant hatch
#

Node = vein.
Just how you want to name it.

For the lvl 4 workbench you need bronze.

steel copper
#

takes a while to expose a whole copper deposit but worth it

#

if you get lucky you can collapse when it's floating

paper marsh
#

up to the player if they like doing it or not. I often find enough copper veins nearby and don't need that much bronze so if I dig down it's mostly because I feel like it, not because it's more efficient

abstract wind
#

ok and how much copper and tin for oqnne bronze

I would definitely not invest in bronze armor unless you really want it.
troll armor has basically the same armor rating and is way lighter
but you have to hunt down trolls

how much bronzed for one bronze ax

steel copper
#

8 bronze

oak wigeon
#

8 i think

abstract wind
steel copper
#

sword or axe and buckler and you're golden

abstract wind
#

how much coal will i need for like ten 30 ores

steel copper
#

it's always nice to own some bronze armor because it looks shiny though 🙂

abstract wind
#

yeah

steel copper
abstract wind
#

ok

steel copper
#

10 ore 20 coal

abstract wind
#

also is it fine to use flint axe on dwarfs ?

steel copper
#

or dagger sure

#

spears too are good for greydwarfs

abstract wind
#

ok

#

is the swamp a big jump from the black forest ?

oak wigeon
#

Yes

steel copper
#

daggers are OP in Valhiem because of speed, so flint dagger is a good choice

oak wigeon
#

Black forest is basically tutorial and swamp is first real level imo

steel copper
abstract wind
steel copper
#

yea, the swamp can be scary first time. Def make potions

brittle geyser
#

watch for turnups, pretty rare, you'll need them

abstract wind
#

is tehre a boss at the black forest

brittle geyser
#

yes, elder

abstract wind
#

wait how do you craft forger

steel copper
brittle geyser
#

meadows boss drops antlers which you use to make a pick, use the pick to mnie copper and tin in the black forest

abstract wind
#

i know im trying to make bronze rightnowe

oak wigeon
#

Are knives actually OP? I'm in swamp rn and using a mace and bow, but I keep hearing people talk about how good knives are

#

Especially the draugr's knife or whatever it's called

brittle geyser
#

I only use Atgier, need forge for that, before getting one, I only use axe and bow 🙂

steel copper
#

and as you level up you can stun more so enemies can't even hit you

paper marsh
#

Atgeir and bow are brokenly good, I have them banned on my current server

steel copper
#

because the 3rd strike does more dmg the dagger spam is just so good

paper marsh
#

I love dagger

steel copper
#

you ban bows? xD

oak wigeon
fresh sierra
#

yes

steel copper
abstract wind
#

wait how much copper for a forger

steel copper
oak wigeon
#

I see. I might switch to knives or ategir then. First I'm going to make the Draugr's Fang though

abstract wind
#

bruh i might have to go to the black forest before i can make my fine bow

steel copper
#

you need core and fine wood for fine bow

abstract wind
#

will my tin despawn if i go far its cooking right now

steel copper
#

and you can get both without a bronze axe

abstract wind
#

how

steel copper
abstract wind
#

i thought you needed one

paper marsh
steel copper
# abstract wind how

in the dark forest near the coast you will often see ship wreckage
That has a TON of fine wood

abstract wind
#

dont you need a bronze axe to get fine wood and core

steel copper
#

not core wood

#

One ship wreckage gave me 60 fine wood

oak wigeon
paper marsh
# abstract wind i thought you needed one

You can get corewood with a stone or flint axe, finewood is usually gotten with a bronze axe and I recommend getting it like that. There are ways to circumvent it though (getting trolls to destroy finewood trees, knocking other trees into finewood trees, finding certain items made of finewood around the map, etc.)

steel copper
oak wigeon
#

Damn

paper marsh
steel copper
#

just boats sticking out of the ground
I guess they are easy to miss

#

and they have treasure chests too

oak wigeon
steel copper
#

another way to get fine wood is greydwarf towers, they often have barrels full of it and the chair is made from fine wood
But its not much

Nvm, figured it out

abstract wind
#

in a raid do the mobs destroy your stuff

paper marsh
#

Yes

#

But they'll focus on you over your stuff, if you're in view

#

Also anything destroyed drops its materials, so you can rebuild

abstract wind
#

if i die do i lose my loot

#

wait my inventory just went to 450

#

btw what should be the first thing i do when i get bronez

pliant hatch
# abstract wind if i die do i lose my loot

That depends at your game settings.
There are settings where you loose all and there are settings where you keep everything.

As for your inventory, the moment you die you get a briefly added 50% carrying capacity to make sure you're able to carry everything you had on you.

Later you will get an item to increase that carrying capacity with a semi-permanent 50% for as long as you have it equipped.

A lot of players go for the bronze axe to get finewood and 80 bronze nails after that.
Both to get a new boat.

ims o confused cause when i break birch trees it dosernt give me any fine wood

vocal vale
abstract wind
#

i have a bronze axew and the birch trees dont give me finewood

vocal vale
abstract wind
#

birch

shell ledge
vocal vale
abstract wind
#

it gives birch seeds

vocal vale
#

Oh I guess it is a chance but giving 0 everytime sounds ridiculous

pliant hatch
#

The white ones give fine wood and normal wood.
Just like the pine trees give core wood and normal wood.

shell ledge
#

Sometimes

abstract wind
#

wait u have to break the log lmao

vocal vale
#

How do you manage to make a bronze axe without cutting logs 😂

abstract wind
#

uhh we dont talk about it

#

i only broke like the thin trees for wood

vocal vale
#

Omg that makes so much sense

#

I’m surprised that doesn’t happen more often now tbh

ornate sigil
#

yikes, thats a lot of fisty-cuffs

#

minecraft level

vocal vale
#

I mean you’d still just pick up branches for the first axe

#

If not it’s like 10 punches to make the axe

abstract wind
#

ohhh thats why i couldnt get any core woodtoo

vocal vale
#

I love you

dusky flame
#

i lag when world save is this normal?

vocal vale

Isn’t that majority of games? But yes

#

wait so how do you get bench level 4

pliant hatch
#

With bronze.

#

Check your crafting menu of your hammer.
There are things with a star behind a crafting bench (workbench, cauldron, forge).
Check which piece with a star you are missing and build that near the workbench that's before it in the "list".

#

were trolls and golems always chill with eachother? They aren't fighting in the ptb

paper marsh
#

Yea. Golems are Forest faction so they chillin' with greydwarves and trolls and such

#

I know that, but sometimes I momentarily forget and then get reminded when I bring a troll to help me take down a Golem and only end up making things worse 😭

brittle geyser
#

You can trap golems in a hole 🙂

paper marsh
#

That's my preferred way of dealing with them tbh. They don't drop anything good and stopping them from spawning saves you the annoyance in the future

#

That and my spears and knives don't do a lot of damage against them 😅

brittle geyser
#

takes about 100 arrows

#

well maybe 50

paper marsh

damn frost arrows gotta be rough against a frost immune foe

mystic gale
#

just got a hosting service server for ashlands, hope it drops soonish. Gotta say this is pretty premium if you have around 5-10 friends playing. Now nobody has to bother with the server.

#

It like adds to the immersion that its hosted 24/7 and you dont have to wait for any1 to start playing

half dragon
#

Well doesn't work in mistlands since enemies have too much HP for that... but up until that point it did

#

situationally staff of embers can do more damage due to the AoE too. Like yesterday when I entered a mine and got instantly swarmed because there were no blocked doorways, all open

fair cairn
sacred walrus
#

whats the easiest way to get ticks off yourself??

merry pebble
half dragon
#

help. the ember staff is taking over. it's telling me to fire a few fire balls at my own roof for the fun of it

coarse heart
#

i hate the tree can i burn them?

half dragon
#

are you talking about burning down a forest or the tree boss?

half dragon
# merry pebble Roll

rolling for sure... died for the first time to them because was trying to parry but misssed the timing multiple times

coarse heart
#

can i make a farm?

fair charm
#

Yes but you need to find growable items, of which there is one in every biome except for meadows and make a cultivator which needs a forge and some wood, bronze etc

last cairn
#

If we start a valheim world now, can we update our world to the Ashlands update later ?

fair charm
#

Yes

last cairn
#

okay ty

half dragon
#

I have no idea why I bother gathering all this copper scrap, but I feel richer than I've ever been... going to need multiple boat trips for this.

Could be any day, up until end of next month.

where is the PTB chat?

fellas how well equipped should i be to fight the elder

#

im currently fully bronze with level 2 armor top to bottom, and bronze weapons except the bow

merry sun
low jungle
#

You can fight the elder in troll armor with a Finewood bow/fire arrows

fresh jasper
#

Level 3 troll armor has the same armor points as level 2 bronze armor.

#

That's why I never make bronze armor

If you can land a parry against them you will see the damage gets stupidly high

half dragon
#

Has anybody figured out a strat for moving around that iron and copper scrap in mistland?

craggy mason
half dragon
#

having items that weight thousands isn't exactly an easy task when there's small mountain ranges everywhere

#

kinda have to gem them away from inland to a coast so you can get it to a boat

craggy mason
#

ah yeah

#

well, there is no easy way to work around that sadly

#

your best bet is farming your iron and copper elsewhere than that biome

half dragon
#

there's no better location for copper tho. black forest is absolute ass compared to mistland for getting copper

craggy mason
half dragon
#

my multiple full boatloads of scrap metal would disagree...

craggy mason
#

Black forests are common and it's not hard to find copper nodes close to the shore for convenient transport, a single node contains plenty of copper ore

#

You can kinda cheese your way around transporting materials using a secondary save but it's kind of cheating

half dragon
#

I've got more copper from a single mistland biome than all rest of the game combined spending days mining it

craggy mason
#

Fill your inventory with ores - go to secondary save and put all the ore in a chest or on the ground - go back to main world, parkour out of mistlands - go back to the secondary world and grab the items

#

You can basically use a second save as a "pocket dimension" to store your stuff

#

It's the old school way to circumvent the portal restriction but it's cheating imo

half dragon
#

have you dismantled dvergr stuctures before? You get damn lot of copper scrap from destroying a single one of them

#

something like 3-5 stacks each

#

at very least taking down those coastal structures is 100% worth it

steel copper
half dragon
#

the problem with black forest is that you're not getting anything else of value while doing it

#

except stone, but that's it. you get a crap ton of black marble while also getting a shit load of copper

fallen zephyr
steel copper
fallen zephyr
#

I bet your world looks less like an open-cut mine as well. 😛

half dragon
#

and a single black forest doesn't really have all that much copper. Mistland has multiple sources that add up to way too much.

fallen zephyr
steel copper
half dragon
#

I checked through a large black forest and couldn't even find 10 in all of that massive area

steel copper
#

bad luck

half dragon
#

same story in every other forest I've checked

#

you just got lucky with that one

steel copper
#

Nah, my entire seed is like that. Maybe you're not seeing them xD

half dragon
#

also iron from those bridge structures

#

not nearly as much but it's something

fallen zephyr
#

All cored with the Cage Wall pieces

half dragon
#

just wish that these mistland strutures were a bit less buggy. They seem to be able to float for a very long time unless you destroy specific parts of it that seem to be holding it together with hopes and dreams

#

easy to take down black marble towers with help of staff of embers tho, just blast those pesky wooden support beams and it will come down

thorny matrix
#

Has someone created version 0.218.14 of the server?

half dragon
#

don't quite remembeer how many of those I needed but no less than 100 recommended

nocturne wolf
#

You don't need that many if you're using a melee weapon when you can

merry sun
#

Elder is a ranged boss he only got 1 melee attack, you can just 2 attacks and dodge

fluid cove
#

what food should i eat beforehand

#

i have access to honey and carrot rn

merry sun

Carrot soup Deer Stew and Queen's jam are the best in black forest

nocturne wolf

half dragon
#

ngl, for that boss 2 different cooked meat and a stamina food would be sufficient if don't have better food readily available

merry sun

When you get the art of cooking and taming animals your gameplay will be pretty easy

i only recently stocked up on that blueberry raspberry jam or something

getting that upgrade station to the cauldron will ease the task

#

Valheim Early progression is satisfactory

#

Im recently finishing the game for the 4th time

fluid cove
#

its very relaxing tbh

#

cant believe this game"s been sitting in my library for 2 years without me ever playing it

fallen zephyr
fluid cove
#

and stormy weather sailing is very cinematic

half dragon
#

early game progression for sure feels relaxing, but without really noticing each biome feels much less relaxing and a bit more opressive in 1 way or another. The gloomy swamp and really damn dangerous enemies there (for current progression), then comes mountains with challenge of getting around there while also dealing with flying pests, then to plains where you get more flying pests... but atmosphere feels relaxing again.

and then there's mistland... feels kind of relaxing, the kind of relaxing you're sleeping and somebody about to slit your throat any moment

#

the natural barries there make it so you encounter less enemies tho, but mist covering your vision and making it hard to tell if enemies are nearby can be annoying
