valheim-chat

[vocal vale]

Yeah or shield

[west pulsar]

Well i have a tier 4 carapace buckler

I dont remember my skill levels though

[paper marsh]

shield upgraded higher, more regular armor (carapce armor maybe), higher block skill, there's a lot of factors

[west pulsar]

Right isnt it based on a ratio of sorts

Like its based on x damage vs y armor and not just armor %

[paper marsh]

yea it's a bit complicated

[west pulsar]

I wouldn't know because im not into that stats like that but isnt it something like 30% damage taken if the armor and damage are the same

That's just my observation

[worthy anchor]

@floral ibex

[paper marsh]

1 point of armor blocks 1 damage. But if you have enough armor to block more than 50% of the mobs damage, the remaining armor after having blocked 50% becomes less effective

[west pulsar]

Ok so if lets say for simplicity sake a boar does 50 damage and i have 50 armor 25 will be instantly blocked and the rest is like what 0.8 per 1 damage?

[paper marsh]

pretty much like that, at least from my understanding. I think it's less than 0.8 though

*"If your armor stat is LESS THAN HALF of the incoming damage, your armor stat is directly used as damage reduction. 1 armor = -1 damage taken.

At armor being 1/2 OR MORE of the incoming damage the formula is this:

Damage / (Armor x 4) = percent damage taken."*

From reddit

[drowsy sorrel]

just upgraded my block a bit with a copper knife, a 1 star grey dwarf is only being parried for ~22 and blocked for ~18, and it does more than 22 if it hits me with no shield

taking bleed through no matter what

[paper marsh]

So in this example, 25/(50x4) = 12.5%

12.5% x 25 damage = 3.125 damage taken

Armor is wack

[west pulsar]

Oh no but that makes sense

Thank you🩷

[paper marsh]

😄

[strange arrow]

correct assessment

[west pulsar]

Its wack but i agree with the method

Does armor on block count?

I know thats a stupid question but i gotta ask if its calculated the same

[strange arrow]

kirriloid has a bunch of calculators for all that iirc

[west pulsar]

The math is simple i just gotta know what the math is

[vagrant bobcat]

for general fighting in ashlands, is fracturing an upgrade to embers?

[strange arrow]

general consensus: not

[paper marsh]

yea. Block armor is the exact same as regular armor, just only applying when you block/parry.

Not entirely sure if it adds regular armor and block armor together and then calculates damage, or if it calculates damage with block armor, and then afterwards calculates the remaining damage with regular armor

[vagrant bobcat]

guess im not alone then lol. seems like the only practical use might be getting swarmed by vultures

[west pulsar]

Thank you

[paper marsh]

It technically has a bit more blunt and a lot more fire damage, but it requires hitting all the projectiles and doesn't do an AoE like embers so generally it's meh. At least in Ashlands where fire damage isn't great. Saw someone do stats on it earlier

[vagrant bobcat]

is frost generally better then?

[paper marsh]

#valheim-public-test message

[molten coral]

anyone got a server rushing for ashlands?

[paper marsh]

Frost staff is pretty good in Ashlands. Honestly though I would just try out different weapons and see what floats your boat

Personally I'd say Ember staff for groups and ice staff for single targets is a solid setup

It's actually crazy fracturing staff is over double the fire damage of embers. Would probably wreck Moder

[austere wren]

Does anyone happen to know if Valheim runs better on Intel or AMD (if there’s an appreciable difference)?

[west pulsar]

Its good in general tbh

[strange arrow]

hadn't read that one but i'm still unconvinced it's "better"

[west pulsar]

Slow is so strong

[paper marsh]

fracturing is just so unreliable compared to embers

I've always really loved frost staff. Despite embers gigachadding mistlands even more than ice does

[west pulsar]

Embers is fun

I can embrace my inner anger issues!

Thats and protection is super good

[paper marsh]

No matter what magic you're using, it's generally gonna be pretty OP

[west pulsar]

True

Love hard carrying people with it

[bitter juniper]

Man I would love if they added a smaller world size for solo play

[vocal rivet]

The game is already optimised for solo play.

[bitter juniper]

I get you are a diehard fan but come on

The world is massive for solo

[vocal rivet]

Huh? It's literally a single player game.

[paper marsh]

I could see a smaller world size being interesting. I'd say maybe not necessarily for solo play, but just for going through the game faster if you don't like travelling far and wide to find/get to bosses and such

[strange arrow]

they gave us sliders to cut back on artificial length, and also to add it if we want

[bitter juniper]

@paper marsh Sure it was fun the first time but on new playthroughs the sailing gets really tedious imo especially before you get Moders power

There is nothing worst then the wind also being right in your face and moving like a snail

[strange arrow]

that's why there's less forced sailing in the later biomes

[paper marsh]

I feel that. I've recently been trying to do some accelerated playthroughs too

[vagrant bobcat]

Yes there is... it's the wind being right in your face while a serpent is chasing you...

[strange arrow]

imagine if they gave us a flametal smelter that only worked in meadows, and didn't give us the stone portals

[bitter juniper]

@vagrant bobcat Bruh that happened to me with the new serpents when I was heading to the Ashlands. Thought my boat was gonna sinking and was about to rage quit

[vocal rivet]

Time to break out the Moder power.

[paper marsh]

or being overencumbered while trying to pull a 8000kg cart through a boiling ocean

[west pulsar]

I find it like mediation

[vagrant bobcat]

Man, gotta say though I'm not really feeling the new biome... it feels like 80% fighting, and 20% exploring... and with the 80% fighting monster drops fill my inventory by the time i get like 100 feet from my portal

[west pulsar]

I have no life anyways so vibing on a boat is chill

[vocal rivet]

V is your friend.

[west pulsar]

Tbh the dark forest felt like that at first

[vagrant bobcat]

What does V do again? That's my sit button lol

[west pulsar]

Nothing nothing nothing 19 greydrawfs

[vocal rivet]

Turns off auto-pickup.

[paper marsh]

Ashlands just feel like medium difficulty fighting everywhere, including fortresses. I wish there was a more concentrated challenge somewhere, like in previous biomes

[west pulsar]

I like auto pick-up

[paper marsh]

on the other hand, the gear and mob variety feels great

[vocal rivet]

That's fine, but if you're having trouble with an overloaded inventory it can be really useful.

[vagrant bobcat]

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm assuming the cultivator can't place grass in the ashlands?

[west pulsar]

Ah i just get angry trying to pickup stuff with a joystick

Id rather eat drywall

[vocal rivet]

No, it always places the default 'grass' texture for that biome.

[west pulsar]

I have a question

[vagrant bobcat]

go onnnnn

[west pulsar]

Is the eitr armor viable or is the ac important on the carapace gear and magic is just a backup

[ornate sigil]

If the ashlands grass can catch fire, it could pose a issue if to close to a lava lake...

[vagrant bobcat]

magic is definitely viable

[west pulsar]

Like its 70 vs 118 or so

[west pulsar]

Even in mistlands? Noted

[vagrant bobcat]

It's all that I'm currently using in Ashlands.

I wouldn't really suggest it as a back up, since you need to sacrifice at LEAST one Health or Stam food for an Etire food

[west pulsar]

Tbh im fine with less stam

Two health one eitr usually gives stam anyways

[strange arrow]

depends what build you want, if you prefer fighting the mobs in melee then armor is the way along with bubble from from yr eitrweave wearers who should stay back

[paper marsh]

magic is the strongest strategy in Mistlands and Ashlands. Safe, good damage, crowd control. You could mix it with a stamina or health food and do a bit of melee if you wanted tho

Also don't necessarily need all eitr robes for mage style. Some fenris or ||askvin || armor for mroe mobility can be really good too (or a mix of fenris eitr)

[crystal harbor]

did they change the way grass renders in the game? dont remember it loading so much in while you run in more detail. or maybe they just made close grass way upgraded?

[west pulsar]

I was thinking a tank setup use the shield and wear my best armor

[crimson wyvern]

Super real

[fleet ingot]

HEy guys, i cant go to the ashlands until the weekend because i am waiting on my friend. Can someone please tell me what items(pre-ashlands) i can farm that are valuable in ashlands, while I wait? Feel free to DM me or reply to this message.

[paper marsh]

with that build I would definitely not wear any mage armor

[vagrant bobcat]

The draw distance on grass has never been great. might just be misremembering it

[crimson wyvern]

If you're a bubble guppy and hit a parry it blocks no matter what

[west pulsar]

Yea i noticed i don't mind tho

[strange arrow]

shield is only useful if yr gonna be parrying, there's no real useful "tank" mode, as the tower shields make movement and killing anything misreable

[crystal harbor]

yeah maybe just mis remembering. its distracting me haha since i last played like 6ish months ago. thanks

[west pulsar]

Hmm ok so is the bubble worthless then?

[vagrant bobcat]

I felt the same way when I picked the game back up, so I feel you lol

[strange arrow]

no, bubble is great

i meant actual shields xD

[vagrant bobcat]

definitely valuable for a pure mage build.

I do two etir food, one stam, and keep bubble up at all times

[west pulsar]

Oh i use a buckler

[strange arrow]

you want every advantage you can if yr taking mobs on

[west pulsar]

Yea my shield has uh 455 absorption

[brazen rune]

anyone know if smoke puffs can be grown?

[west pulsar]

I only need to refresh every now and then

[west pulsar]

I play solo so i try to not die no matter what

So hp hp Hp yknow how it is

[strange arrow]

parry boss

[west pulsar]

Skeletons kinda suck in mistlands because of the terrain i find

[vagrant bobcat]

I would certainly try running a mage build at least once. I avoided on my original playthrough when mistlands first came out, but now I picked the game back up a couple months ago and just loving it.

[strange arrow]

that's everywhere xD

[west pulsar]

I have maxed eitr armor

I just can't tell which is better

[ornate sigil]

I think they are only harvestable, not farmable. They are like mushrooms. Haven't tried though.

[strange arrow]

they are really good at one thing, shooting hares

[west pulsar]

Yesnt? I find its good in meadows plains mountains

[west pulsar]

YES ABSOLUTELY I SUCK THO

[strange arrow]

xD

[vagrant bobcat]

if you can actually get a ranger... lol I get melee skellies about 80% of the time

[west pulsar]

I just wanna use one staff because my slots get way too full

Maybe two tops

[strange arrow]

i need to do a bit of testing to see how they hold up in Ashlands

[west pulsar]

Oh that reminds me

Can i mix and match damage resistance armor like root fen or silver? Like two pieces of good ac and one resistance or am i better to use potions

Like if i wanted to use a root helm for poison is that viable?

[strange arrow]

yes, all the seperate resistances from seperate armor pieces work independently

[west pulsar]

Yea i know it works im wondering if its effective

Like will it reduce damage more then raw ac

[strange arrow]

situationally it can be very effective

[west pulsar]

Oh ok because i was thinking i could make a set-up for everyone biome

[strange arrow]

like root harnesk gets a long shelf life coz of it's pierce res

[west pulsar]

Is it that good? How much does it stop

[strange arrow]

i don't use it myself, don't remember the numbers either xD i just know folk swear by it

it makes squitoes and spear fulings trivial

[west pulsar]

Damn guess i can google it lol instead of being lazy also are the mini bosses hard? Like the smoldering tomb was easy are the others like that? Or is it gonna scale like crazy

Like on a scale of eikthyr to yagluth how hard

[strange arrow]

relative to the biomes they inhabit, i'd say

[west pulsar]

Im assuming howling caves is mountain?

Sealed tower is what plains?

Oh ok

[turbid pollen]

I use it all the time, it turns 30 Pierce damage to 5~6

[west pulsar]

Damn so like a weak potion thats permanent

[turbid pollen]

Armour also contributes to that so it depends.

[west pulsar]

That was my question because root armor ac sucks

[smoky quarry]

max hp, heavy armor & shield on. Uber

[turbid pollen]

Right now I use it with Padded Greaves and Helmet along with a Lox Cape so my total armour is 79. All of them are max guality by the way, except the cape.

[west pulsar]

Ah i use maxed out carapace or eitr atm with a feather cape

Its 118 armor + 90 block armor + 455 shield absorption

Root armor has 14 at max

[strange arrow]

yeh you wouldn't use the full set after swamp, even in swamp i don't like it much xD

[west pulsar]

Not full set but just one piece

Like a helmet or chest im wondering if lowering my ac is viable

[turbid pollen]

It can be, you just have to compensate with health foods.

[strange arrow]

how often are you fighting with yr bubble down? i can't imagine it's much

[west pulsar]

I'm scared all the time so like never? Id rather have low hp than no shield

Its pretty tanky and the lower hp i am the less hp its using to make it

[strange arrow]

so armor is secondary to all that

[west pulsar]

Ok so is eitr armor the play then?

[strange arrow]

if you can be safe enough with the shield, yeh

[west pulsar]

Bet

[strange arrow]

the re-casting time reduction will really help as well in that style

[west pulsar]

Thank you

You're very very helpful

[vagrant bobcat]

jesus... dunno how i survived this... Loud noises just draw more...

Just fought 2 morgen, 2 asksvin, 3 archers, 1 warrior, 1 one star warrior, and 4 twitchers.... with a group of vultures joining the fight (twice) and lived to tell the tale.

[livid kayak]

Have the lines of the chunks (or how do you call them in Valheim) certainly become more visible or wtf? All my graphics settings are the same, ultra and high, but I've never seen this so strong before (yes there are mods, but I can't imagine any of them having an effect like this... #screenshots message

[west pulsar]

Also is running all three healing potions viable?

Just spam heals and shields?

Sorry im asking a lot of questions

Does armor affect absorption or does it just take the exact amount of damage

[next plinth]

What’s the asksvin skull used for?

[opal vessel]

Quick question, is there an expected release date for the Xbox version of the Ashlands update?

[mossy river]

Known issue. Unknown when it will be fixed

[west pulsar]

Not that i know of Microsoft is being Microsoft so

[livid kayak]

Ah thx. Not me going insane 😄

[ornate sigil]

Seems ashlands made some major changes and made those lines more visible. Several posts above yours is the same thing: #screenshots message

[livid kayak]

I really thought is was me, so I didn't look further :vv:

[ornate sigil]

I know you can make a statue with it for decoration. Not sure about anything.

[livid kayak]

It affects the PB way of painting terrain anyway.

[blissful stream]

lava does way too much damage. especially for having barely visible chunks everywhere on ground that looks safe

[ornate sigil]

The chunk load issue makes me wonder if you can grass/pave over the lines with the hoe

[livid kayak]

Yes.

[ornate sigil]

That also begs the question of if you did a force update to the terrain, if that would get rid of the lines en bulk.

[livid kayak]

Painting with PB gives some weird lines that are not paintable at all. (not on the same spots as the lines, just random, triangles and other figures too)

So weird, but nothing to lose sleep over.

[opal vessel]

Unfort 😭

[livid kayak]

So I'm trying to figure out how to hide the HUD again. Shift+this, Alt+that... I seriously just tried ALT+F4. That is a new low.

But srsl I forgot...

[strange arrow]

no worries, if yr gonna be mainly shielded, not taking much damage and relying on skelettes with bubbles to occupy while you snipe there's really not much concern unless you get unexpectedly bombarded by new mobs, so in that rare scenario, backup pots might be an advantage, but in an already tiny inventory you gotta consider what's most impotant to be carrying, popping bonemass power might be the alternative to all that, saving those slots for loot

[livid kayak]

CTRL+F3 ffs

[vagrant bobcat]

are smoke bombs good for anything ?

[ornate sigil]

Besides making a colorful mess on a driveway, in game I assume they are a non fire-based AOE thay may or may not also break line of sight. But that is a guess only.

[dim charm]

is there anywhere updated with what mats are needed for new armor?

[slow flicker]

Ok new favorite weapon found: Thundering berserker axe

[rain flare]

Yes!
A man after my own heart! 🥳

[west pulsar]

Speaking of which

[rain flare]

Those things are beasts!!! ⚡️ 🪓 ⚡️

[west pulsar]

Does bonemass and root armor stack?

[rain flare]

Probably not

They only give you resistant to pierce

You’d need an upgrade item that is very resistant to improve the bonus

[slow flicker]

Just made them and went to test em on some charred warriors and holy fing Thor!

[west pulsar]

Aw man

[slow flicker]

I like the primal nidhogg sword too but nothing and I mean nothing is more satisfying then something and hearing that crackle of lightening go off

[west pulsar]

Also i don't understand why yagluth gives lightning resistance what even does lightning damage in this game

Like am i stupid or something or does no enemy do this type of damage

[slow flicker]

I think the fallen valkeyries doe and the final boss might

Ashlands boss rather

[west pulsar]

Oh i just wish it gave poison resistance

Lightning feels kinda useless

But hey its not as useless as the elder so

[strange arrow]

there's that

[west pulsar]

Fire and frost has its use all though rare

I still prefer bonemass but whatever lol

[fervent trellis]

Our group started over and we just beat the Queen we are heading to Ashlands in a day or so

Can't wait to storm the beaches of Normandy

[velvet panther]

is there a way to remove lava pools yet?

[oblique fern]

Do Lox still have an allotted amount of space they need to reproduce? The ||ashkin|| reproduce like crazy so I wasn't sure if this has been changed.

[slow flicker]

nope, gotta make the bilebombs to get across em

[west pulsar]

Are bilebombs good?

Ive never used bombs because of space

[oblique fern]

He means ||basalt bombs|| not bile bombs

[strange arrow]

likewise but yes, they are good

insanely good in mines

there's also|| flametal pillar pieces|| once you have some so you don't need to use the bombs all the time

[mortal raptor]

Is ||AshLands || the|| last biome|| to get added?

[blissful stream]

i really don't like how ||ore sinks||

[strange arrow]

no, Deep North is the last we're told

[west pulsar]

Guys

Is cooked misthare supreme good?

[strange arrow]

yes

[west pulsar]

Whats its stats i dont wanna make it if its trash

[strange roost]

Any recommendations for us valheim server provider?

[strange arrow]

off the top i think it's 90hp

[strange arrow]

#dedicated-server 👍

[west pulsar]

WHAT

Im MISSING OUT

Im still using serpent meat and fish wraps

Its 85 WHOA

[strange arrow]

serpent is good for a long stretch, probably wanna get some better food on tho

[west pulsar]

What do you recommend 😭

[strange arrow]

mushroom omelette, misthare supreme + other, maybe serpent stew

[west pulsar]

I use seeker aspic

[strange arrow]

ye you need eitr i forget

aspic as yr 3rd then

[west pulsar]

Also im too stupid to figure out the eggs

So i haven't used it

[strange arrow]

just gotta have a warm room and fire that they can't walk on when they hatch basically

[west pulsar]

Babysplain please. Like put them in a cage? Near a fire

Will i need a roof?

[strange arrow]

you'll want a roof, any sized room really, though with breeding limits if you want significant amounts it's better to use height to seperate breeding hens and eggs

[brazen rune]

just checking do asksvins actually eat the proustite powder? i just put a shitload near a dude and he refused to eat, even while unaggroed

[west pulsar]

Thank you

[strange arrow]

np, lots of youtube tutorials to make a quick breeder out there

[brazen rune]

to add more context i have tamed one before, but with smoke puffs so ik its not my taming methods

[strange arrow]

i wouldn't have thought they ate the powder

[west pulsar]

Do i need more than 118 stamina tho?

[strange arrow]

situational, if i were you i'd forgo the health for more eitr food

[slow flicker]

random question: Would you consider smoke puffs to be ashland mushrooms or vegetables?

[strange arrow]

but for me i like to get in there with Mistwalker, so i make sure i have the health and stam to cope

[west pulsar]

Right im only using the shield atm

I use a sword and buckler otherwise

[strange arrow]

yr not using ember?

[west pulsar]

Currently? No should i be?

[strange arrow]

yes lol, with mage armor, bubbled and staying back blasting while yr skele's take the attention is optimal

exception mines, where you might find bile bombs or an aoe hammer more help along with that

[west pulsar]

Ok so skeletons and fireballs ok

Is yggdrasil porridge good?

[strange arrow]

very, my recommendation for a 2nd eitr food

[west pulsar]

Ok so misthare porridge and seeker

[strange arrow]

or omelette if you wanna be full glass cannon but still have more movement

[west pulsar]

Can i use a salad instead

[strange arrow]

it's cheaper on stats, but also on method

defo an option

[west pulsar]

Like an omelet is 85 stam

A salad is 80

Is the extra 5 really worth?

[strange arrow]

i think it is, but i do all the things needed for the mats anyway, if you don't already do all that, and you have the mats for lots of salads, go salad

[west pulsar]

Yea im kinda slow and never made a single farm

[hearty niche]

I've used computers for 35 years - Windows specifically for 28+ - and have done that in the last year.

[west pulsar]

Oh so you're like old enough to be my dad

[hearty niche]

Possibly, yeah. I'm 41.

[west pulsar]

Then definitely

[hearty niche]

Smoke puffs are a fungus

[livid kayak]

Same in using age and I can say this is the first time I am aware I specifically tried this...

[merry pebble]

Ctrl+F2 or F3 iirc 🙂

[strange arrow]

f3

[livid kayak]

Aaaand same in body using age 😄

[livid kayak]

I got it a bit later when I got the insight to search for it in this discord :vv:

[hearty niche]

Wait can the smoke puffs be planted? I didn't thnk they could be.

[livid kayak]

If you are old enough to have kids I could be their grandmother 😢

[livid kayak]

Wrong person replying to? 😄

[hearty niche]

yea and I'm on my phone and can't be arsed to fix it, sorry hahaha

[livid kayak]

NP just checking you weren't misunderstanding my using age 😄

[tepid prawn]

cannot remove them

[velvet panther]

thanks man

[tepid prawn]

||you can build on top of them if high enough, flametal pillars and beams can be built in there to create a foundation thing sort of but very expensive||

[velvet panther]

good to know, i appreciate the info

im mostly a builder anyway so cost is a non issue

[supple violet]

My character stopped picking up items automatically, how do I fix it?

[fair charm]

Press V

[supple violet]

thx ❤️

[bitter juniper]

I really just can't see how people are enjoying ashlands, since when is Valheim a horde based game?

[brazen rune]

i do feel that somewhat, but im enjoying the general style of the game and trying to ignore the combat issues lmao

the game feels balanced for multiple people, like 3+ people, playing together at some points past mistlands

[bitter juniper]

I honestly like the game less with every update the devs seem to love making the game obnoxious and tedious at every turn

[warm sandal]

since plains "The horde is attacking"

[bitter juniper]

I hate it because the game at its core is amazing

[brazen rune]

fulings and especially beserkers are very easy to run from, you cannot outrun a pack of asksvins

also the spawners that the charred come from seem to have no limit to how many can be near

which is one of the issues that i feel that if fixed, would greatly make the game feel less punishing to those of who are fewer in number

[fair charm]

Running ashlands on your own is hard as hell
running ashlands in a group of 3 is pretty chill

[brazen rune]

sounds about right

[fair charm]

The worst part is how short all of the parry windows appear to be and how large the knockback is
Parry enemy
Sprint towards enemy because you each got knocked back 3m
Parry window is over and enemy is winding up another attack
Repeat

A good thing though is that you can just use ranged weaponry to kill the spawner and then run away and wait for the mobs to despawn

[bitter juniper]

@brazen rune It honestly feels like the devs only think about playing in groups

[clear comet]

I think after plains

things just, way harder

[brazen rune]

i dont have an issue with parry windows

[bitter juniper]

My experience with Ashlands has been land spent 30 minutes fighting enemies non stop finally get a base set up stopped playing. Logged in 3 times after got tired after fighting non stop for 20 min went to do something else

[brazen rune]

would be nice if parrys were actually possible against some of the stronger enemies, like mostly starred enemies

which i know is based on gear strength, max hp, etc

[west pulsar]

I mean i am but ALSO hell no

[fair charm]

Against the soldiers?

[nocturne wolf]

Parry windows aren’t the hard part, it’s deciding if parrying is the right choice or not, considering stamina costs and stagger

[brazen rune]

true

[fair charm]

I find that if I'm parrying the soldier there's about a 50/50 chance we bounce off each other like rubber balls

[brazen rune]

eh with the soldiers specifically their attack timings are so weird i usually kinda miss the parry, getting better tho

[nocturne wolf]

If I parry them, I try to parry twice. Once for the fast attack, and again for the slow attack. If you want to roll, it’s best to roll backwards so you aren’t hit by the slow attack if they do one.

[fair charm]

Soldiers have 4 different attack animations, two are feints and they'll act like they're attacking only to attack with a slight delay
None of them are actually double attacks

[bitter juniper]

@clear comet I wouldn't say the Mistlands was crazy hard just obnoxious to explore the first because you can't see anything and everything is a jagged mountain. Starting with the Queen and now with Ashlands it feels like the devs are designing solely around group play and making the solo experience much worse.

[brazen rune]

the issue is not that the game gets linearly harder, enemies just seem to hit exponentially harder from mistlands onward, especially starred enemies and lots of enemies are problematic

biggest issue i remember is that even with level 2 or 3 carapace armor, decent gear and all that, i still couldnt parry a two star seeker

or sometimes i could with a buckler, but it would nearly stagger me in one shot

[west pulsar]

That makes sense tho

Its 2 stars like a mini boss

[brazen rune]

eh not really a fan of enemies that have literally no counterplay but run away

[west pulsar]

Dodge?

[charred gale]

Just deal with it 😁

[west pulsar]

Its not parry or die

[charred gale]

It's dodge hit dodge die

[bitter juniper]

@brazen rune Yeah with the mistlands the devs have made the difficuly focused around enemies outscaling their biomes upgrades

[blissful stream]

anyone know where i can find weapon stats once i've ||given them their elemental upgrade?||

[west pulsar]

This

[brazen rune]

imo, dodging is not made to be 100% viable due to the massive amount of stamina it requires

[charred gale]

or perchance dodge hit dodge too early die

[nocturne wolf]

Mace secondary pushes lord reto very far, I easily killed him without taking any damage

[west pulsar]

Learn enemy patterns

[charred gale]

this

[west pulsar]

Sounds like you just wanna stat cheese what is effectively a mini boss

[livid kayak]

IKR!

[west pulsar]

No like im 18 KIDS would be CRAZY rn

[livid kayak]

Well, to me kids sounds crazy at any age so 😄

But at 18 would be extra crazy yes.

[west pulsar]

Amen

[charred gale]

for ashlands ||the big lizard boys have two leap attacks, one goes considerably farther and then a bite attack||

[brazen rune]

no, i would just like to have maxed gear from a biome be able to effectively fight enemies from said biome

[fair charm]

This reminds me to dig a hole

[livid kayak]

I've not set foot in the ashlands yet but I'm curious to see what my facetank method will get me except lots and lots of death and misery 😄

[west pulsar]

You can but just saying i cant parry cheese them to death is eh? Not a great point its a rare two star two stars act as a mini boss of sorts

[charred gale]

i mean even fulings are a pain even in maxxed out padded

[west pulsar]

Yea you need to dodge around and be the underdog

Thats literally the point

[livid kayak]

what?

[west pulsar]

In groups yes alone no

[brazen rune]

parrys arent designed to be cheese, they're designed to be harder to pull off and rewarding once theyre landed, and it aint that fun when you're instantly stunned by a parry when gear wise, you shouldnt be an underdog

[livid kayak]

In group everything is a b*tch

[charred gale]

yep

[livid kayak]

But I run in Abby armour in the plains untill I want to take on Yag.

[brazen rune]

i am fine with a biome being tough when you first get there even, but if you have the armor from that biome, you should be strong enough to deal with most of the stuff from said biome

[west pulsar]

Parrying isnt hard tho? Its super generous and basically grants free damage and stun on repeat its a bit op

[charred gale]

i went through mistlands in maxed out fenris armor

[livid kayak]

Also I never use a shield 🤦

[west pulsar]

I would find it dull if two stars werent hard to beat also you get magic in mistlands

I think magic works around this issue a bit

[charred gale]

oh and @brazen rune some shields have way more knockback than others so if that annoys you you can try another

[livid kayak]

That's some devotion though.

[charred gale]

atgeir and that is all you need

[livid kayak]

Ah yes.

[charred gale]

dodge hit dodge hit dodge hit

[brazen rune]

i dont have an issue with parry knocking stuff back, i just have an issue with two stars instantly staggering a maxed out gear set+shield

[livid kayak]

But my axe...

[charred gale]

its risky but rewarding

[west pulsar]

Yea... because its a two star again its not supposed to be easy to just party hit parry hit tough enemies are supposed to be tougher than you its why skill curve exists

[charred gale]

2 star seeker soldier just one taps

[west pulsar]

Dodging is a thing magic is thing arrows are a thing i treat two stars like a boss

[livid kayak]

I can't dodge if my life was depending on it :vv: And it has been several times. I forget to use it. Same as a shield and parrying. I can do it... But since I don't remember it to use it half of the time, I just run around and facetank things with an axe. Or a sword. Or Frostner. But mostly the axe.

[charred gale]

pop a bubble and run around with the fire staff

[west pulsar]

Exactly

[charred gale]

tanking works if you have enough health 😁

[west pulsar]

Fair enough but theres a magic shield and if you struggle with dodging skeletons can help or you can run backwards and shoot it

[livid kayak]

And that's why I only eat health food 😄

[west pulsar]

Its tedious ill give you that

But idk if i agree with it being bad per say

[charred gale]

and i mean the fire is devastating

[livid kayak]

The more steps I have to execute, the more likely I will die because I forget something. I am not a Dark Souls dancer, I'm a full frontal LEROYYYY JENKINS facetank berserker ^^ It's how I discovered how easy Abby is to kill.

[fair charm]

The magic shield is bait in my opinion

[west pulsar]

Oh absolutely i feel that really i feel its a team game im playing solo

It feels way more balanced in a group

[charred gale]

Who's Abby? 😭

[livid kayak]

Yesss. when entering the mistlands I definitely felt the need for backup or group activities! So I can only imagine that becoming louder.

[livid kayak]

The best mob + armour. Abomination.

[fair charm]

At base blood magic the staff of protection gives you 200 health which is enough for *checks notes*
One attack

[west pulsar]

SKELETONS!! my best Friends!

[charred gale]

Ah I see

[west pulsar]

I have no friends so i just use skeletons and Shields

[livid kayak]

Awww

[west pulsar]

Also i use all three healing potions

In my hotbar because if im getting hammered or i see im about to be popping one or even two at once can save me

[livid kayak]

Ok, I saw someone talk about this earlier... you are telling me we can use more than 1 healing potion? How long has that been that way?

[nocturne wolf]

One attack that would otherwise kill you
And the health goes up to 700 with high blood magic

[west pulsar]

Uh well basically each type has a different cooldown

Like a minor is on a different cooldown from a major and medium

[charred gale]

Okay but the PAIN of dying at the literal other side of the Ashlands and having to go like a mile through ashlands naked

[west pulsar]

I have an emote for this that I can't use😭

[fair charm]

If your argument for blood magic shield is good is "You can spend 50 hours straight grinding to get a shield that will tank 2 hits"

[charred gale]

i wish i could get rid of skill drain on my world ☹️

[nocturne wolf]

You can reduce it to 1%

[west pulsar]

Nah even at level one

[livid kayak]

Well FML for never realising that... And not even trying...

[charred gale]

oh really

[nocturne wolf]

With world modifiers, yes

[livid kayak]

I thought it was healing and stam and other potion cooldown.

[west pulsar]

I'll test it rn just to double check

[charred gale]

And I can apply them to pre-existing saves?

[west pulsar]

I don't wanna feed misinformation lol

[livid kayak]

I used to have a phrase here... I need to dust it off I think.

There is a mod for that 😂

[blissful stream]

i really don't like the ||whole sinking ore thing||. nothing feels worse than watching that much progress sink below the magma lmao

[west pulsar]

You can turn it down

[charred gale]

Can I do that on pre-existing saves

[gentle depot]

Hey, i'm looking to buy valheim on steam and i want to play it with my friend who's on an Xbox series S and the game says 'game preview', will i be able to play with him crossplatform?

[west pulsar]

Yes it won't be OFF but it lessens the amount you lose skills and it makes it so when you die back to back you won't lose more

[charred gale]

I think there is crossplay

[gentle depot]

yeah, that's what the assumption im under but the game is the game preview so im not too sure

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, but ashlands isn’t out on Xbox yet (it will be in a few days) but if your friend joins the beta he will be able to play with you

[gentle depot]

Okay sweet thank you, and the fact its game preview is fine right?

[nocturne wolf]

Game preview is just what Microsoft calls early access

[gentle depot]

ah okay

[fair charm]

Just walked past a morgen spawn point and two morgen came out

[gentle depot]

thank you

[west pulsar]

Yes when booting up your world go into world modifiers look for death plenty

[charred gale]

thanks man I'll check

[west pulsar]

It won't turn it off

It'll just lessen it

[nocturne wolf]

See which one can slap the other to death first

[west pulsar]

You can also enable teleport anything and raid rates

I wish it could be off off but I'll settle for less ig

[idle marlin]

When I save the game does that save not appear in the manage saves place? Can I not go back to that save?

[hard gale]

do I need to make a new world for ashlands?

[west pulsar]

Uh no? From what i understand progression is permanent

[nocturne wolf]

Someone in general just said ashlands is out on Xbox. If they are right, your friend won’t need to join the beta now.

[west pulsar]

Only if you've generated a large amount of ashlands

[hard gale]

cool cool

[west pulsar]

If not its fine

[gentle depot]

oh sweet, uh how exactly do they not join the beta though

[nocturne wolf]

Just by not joining the beta. (Beta ISNT game preview, it’s joined through the Xbox insider hub)

[charred gale]

Old ashlands just straight up turned into ocean

No more Surtling Core farming 😔

[fair charm]

Just make a contained seat in a tree above a swamp surtling spawner you dug down to water

Free infinite cores and coal

[west pulsar]

I have too many

Why would i farm them the swamp ALREADY gave me a ton

[charred gale]

i have like two chests full

[nocturne wolf]

Now Smiffe (a developer) just said it isn’t on Xbox yet…

[gentle depot]

oh..

wait even if they're on the beta they can join me still right

[nocturne wolf]

#news message

Great timing, just as I let you know it isn’t out

[gentle depot]

oh wow

so basically its fully released on xbox now too..?

[nimble flicker]

i agree. after the plains the game takes a massive shift.

[nocturne wolf]

It should be, and if it isn’t right now you won’t be waiting very long

[slow flicker]

Anyone know what mats are needed for the the ash fang bow?

[west pulsar]

Yea maybe im slow but i haven't got an update yet

[charred gale]

[west pulsar]

Nah i got it

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[fair charm]

Cursed raid, a gjall and a morgen

Coming soon to a meadows biome near you

[glossy spruce]

is there any way to generate Ashlands in our old wold before the update or do we need to create a fresh one?

[fair charm]

What?

As in you need to regenerate an ashlands which you've previously generated?

[glossy spruce]

i've read before that you cannot access ashlands with its new updates, meaning mobs,etc if you don't generate a fresh world after the update

[fair charm]

That's not correct

[shell atlas]

Xbox is out? Finally

[opal prairie]

If you have explored ashlands it won't get filled in and will stay old ashlands forever, though if there are still unexplored parts down south there might be ahslands there.

[fair charm]

Pretty sure the world upgrade mod will let you force regenerate the ashlands if you've been there before

[finite lodge]

is there a way to fly in this game

[tawny night]

Praise the Sun!! Xbox Update is Confirmed out 🙌🔥

[opal prairie]

Yes, devcommands has you covered.

[west pulsar]

Yes but it is cheating

[hasty beacon]

lunch yourself with a catapult xD

[opal prairie]

I wouldn't call it cheating per se.
Certainly not if you play solo, it is using a feature that is in the game for testing purposes.
It isn't exactly playing the game like it should be played but not exactly cheating in my book.
You don't harm anyone with it except maybe yourself and if you play with multiple people on a server they might not like it.
Since it isn't a pvp game but solo game with co-op posibilities and you aren't playing against each other can it really be called cheating?

I don't use it though.

[fleet ingot]

HEy guys, i cant go to the ashlands until the weekend because i am waiting on my friend. Can someone please tell me what items(pre-ashlands) i can farm that are valuable in ashlands, while I wait?

[opal prairie]

Food, meads, the items for the new boat, weapons you are comfortable in using, stone to fortify your beach head and set up camp, bombs, ...

[fleet ingot]

i need to know what items exactly

[fair charm]

Blackstone
Iron
Fine Wood
Yggdrasil wood

[hasty beacon]

prepare a good amount of food and potions for sure
depending on your prefered weapons, getting the staffs (especially frost staff) or something like a frostner or a mistwalker with a good shield should do the job too
additionally you can farm some coal to smelt the new ore and some linen, eitr to craft the new equipement once you optained the new materials

[fleet ingot]

Ive already prepped consumables

[thorny raft]

Quick Question, Is It Possible For An Xbox Player To Join A Steam Dedicated Server?

I Would Assume So Since Crossplay Is A Thing, But I Was Told They Can't By My Friend And I Just Wanna Confirm

[opal prairie]

You can if both are the same version, so yesterday it was impossible but today it should work again.

[thorny raft]

Specifically With A Steam Dedicated Server, Right?

[west pulsar]

I love love love how the coolest looking weapon despite being low tier is viable

[opal prairie]

I believe so if the server has been configured for crossplay.

[thorny raft]

This Is What My Friend Wrote To Me: "in order to join the server you would have to go ON STEAM and go the the STEAM SERVER LIST and join. Xbox does not have access to that menu"

So Idk

[long ibex]

Is ashlands worth starting again?

[thorny raft]

Any Clue About That? lol

[fair cairn]

well for how much it costs to upgrade i would hope it atleast beats some plains weapons

also, what kinda enemies are in ashlands
like
undead type i assume?

[opal prairie]

Maybe you'd better ask the question in #dedicated-server .

[median cave]

Is "Heat Resistance" the same thing as Fire Resistance, or is the former an Ashlands-specific thing?

[idle storm]

The items to upgrade your Mistland gear to level 4

[hasty beacon]

for that you need to go to the ashlands

[idle storm]

no, you need to go to the Ashlands to make the forge upgrade. But you can pre-farm all the mats since you can see what it takes to upgrade stuff to level 4 even without it.

and they're all Mistland mats

[hasty beacon]

ohh yes i misunderstood you, my bad

[idle storm]

So basically refined eitr, carapace, metal and such

eitr is really the big one though if you're interested in the mage playstyle, you'll easily need a few hundred to make and upgrade everything

They've been doing better with that for me since the last patch. They still run into lava to die if they're aggroed to a mob that's on lava, but otherwise they're pretty good at avoiding it now.
Though i'm also sticking to 1-2 skellies max since summoning all 4 isn't really worth it when they die so fast in Ashlands imo.

[balmy seal]

The unequal distances between the sacrificial stones is really irking me 😭

[livid kayak]

It might comfort you that this problem does not exist when you start a new seed.

Totally not the reason I wanted a new seed or anything.

[balmy seal]

Oh, how lovely

[livid kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/skeptical-futurama-fry-hmmm-i-got-my-eyes-on-you-gif-17101711

It was meant to be comforting!

[balmy seal]

Oh my response was quite sincere 🙂

[livid kayak]

Wasn't sure 😄

Maybe that made it worse somehow :vv:

[rain flare]

Trollstav is super buggy right now
It soft caps the number of mobs you can summon at 2 but if you are quick you can summon 3-4 trolls with a lvl 1 stav

PTB testers agree with this comment 🤣

Wow.
Has this person played the update yet…

Although I must comment that the staff of the wild is pretty amazing for me 🥳

[brave shard]

anyone else experiencing a bunch of lag with the new update?

[west pulsar]

Can someone explain to me what a trollstav is

Dm me if it counts as a spoiler

[idle storm]

||new magic weapon in ashlands that summons burning troll skeletons that are hostile to everything (including the player)||

[west pulsar]

WHAT

I NEED THIS can i get it before i beat the queen

Or am i doomed

[opal prairie]

Yes but it won't be easy.

[burnt glen]

Beating queen and then getting it is easier lol

[west pulsar]

DEAL

[west pulsar]

If i could find her...

[idle storm]

you need some loot from Ashlands but as long as you can get there without the queen drop (not impossible) you can

[west pulsar]

Ah so its just extremely difficult

[idle storm]

kinda but not really?

[opal prairie]

||Longboat or karve as far as you can and make sure you can get on a jagged rock to either repair the boat, build a new boat or rock hop.||

[idle storm]

||you just need to reach the Ashlands spires before your boat breaks, after that you can just jump from spire to spire||

[west pulsar]

Thank you

[fair charm]

If you die on lava, which is incredibly easy because the lava can spit rocks from under you, it is almost impossible to retrieve your gear because the basalt bombs don't raise up your grave

And there's nothing you can do to mitigate the knockback

[burnt glen]

I’ve found that if you throw the bomb slightly to the side of the grave, you can retrieve it.

[fair charm]

Yeah, but the lava will spit fireballs up through the basalt bomb rock which knock you off into the lava

Which then instantly kills you

[burnt glen]

Oh I see, have never had that happen.

[fair charm]

I've had it happen 5 times in quick succession

[idle storm]

lava bombs are blocked from spawning by player base iirc. They're definitely blocked by shield generators.

[fair charm]

I was going out into the lava to attempt to retrieve a spear, now that I know that basalt bombs can't raise items out of the lava I'm just going to accept that anything that goes in there is lost forever

[mossy river]

The hoe can raise lava like other terrain. Get the missing item up while standing on a basalt platform made to the side.

[fair charm]

Nah, it was the terrible ashlands tier spear anyway

Not worth all of the effort it would take to retrieve it

[native juniper]

mistwalker is better than all

[fair charm]

I think maybe the mace might be on par or slightly better?

But overall yeah there's no point in anything other than the mistwalker because slow + spirit burn against most enemies + they're not resistant to slash

[charred gale]

does the last pbt version vary at all from the version that was just released

[supple jasper]

so how much has it changed from the public test branch? looks like there haven't been any more balancing/spawn rate changes at all

[tepid prawn]

14 copper nodes in a tiny black forest blimey!

[fair charm]

mined with troll?

[mossy river]

There are changes but nobody really knows. They didn't make patch notes for .14 to .15. The only change I'm aware of is soft tissue now being found in putrid holes

[tepid prawn]

nah new play through i started a few days ago

I did mine some with the meteor from troll on my ashlands save though, was sooooo fun

[rain flare]

INCOMING

🔥🔥

[serene talon]

wow the animated trailer is amazing

[fair charm]

Can you break the middle pillar of the flametal ore?

[mossy river]

No

[fair charm]

Heavy

[fair charm]

Yeah this was not ready for release

[azure yacht]

I'm sure that is something that would've never changed no matter what...

[fair charm]

Put it back in the oven, can't stand on flametal only float over it, just had the whole pillar disappear whils I was trying to get off the floating bug

[azure yacht]

There's no reason to mine the central pillar

[frosty cove]

Will I need to create a new world for it to have Ashlands? My current save was created about a year ago but I never did much on it. I killed the 3rd boss and now in the mountains, map hasn't been explored much either

[paper marsh]

No need for a new save, you can continue going!

New content always generates on current worlds as long as you haven't explored the area where it generates. So as long as you weren't at the bottom of the map exploring the Ashlands placeholder before the update, you'll have the new Ashlands

Same goes for Deep North once that comes out, so try not to explore the tippy top of the map

[frosty cove]

Awesome, haven't explored any of those areas yet and will keep that in mind, thank you!

[frail roost]

They did try to fix that particular bug but it seems quite persistant

[fair charm]

Just seems wild that you'd go out of your way to make the flametal hard to get to and complicated to mine if you've got a persistent bug where it will be impossible to mine and/or just vanish into thin air

[main geyser]

idk if its just me but i realised that everytime i mine something now, be it iron or copper or tin it doesnt appear at the surface it always bugs into the ground and then "spawns" on top of the surface like 5 seconds after

[azure yacht]

This feels like they easily predicted that that bug would occur and still made pillars behave the way they are right now...

It was unexpected, and they do try to fix it, they definitely would not want it considering how game-breaking it is

[mighty nacelle]

quick question are there any plans for valheim to come to mac or ps?

[proven hill]

Man i haven't played the game in years and it looks amazing, did they change the graphics/lighting?

[fair charm]

I mean, I find it difficult to believe they're unaware of the bug if it's been reported before and they've not been able to fix it

[paper marsh]

They're very aware. I think one of the patchnotes even attempted to fix it? Although it didn't do a thorough job it seems

[azure yacht]

Because they're probably still figuring out how.

One thing is knowing a bug exists (which is the easiest part), and another is to actually fix it, and even more, fix it forever

[fair charm]

I mean, they had another month and a half they could have left it in PTB, I would work under the assumption that if something is full release it shouldn't have a game breaking bug which removes the primary method of obtaining the primary resource in the game

Considering that this happens on zero other surfaces throughout the game that I've found I'm assuming it's related to how they're doing the sinking mechanic for the towers

[frail roost]

It can happen on actual leviathans as well I think? It's basically a reskinned leviathan

[fair charm]

Oh so it's been in the game for years then?

[frail roost]

No I think it came about during the PTB

Oh rip no I just saw a post on Reddit from 3 years ago about sliding off of Ocean Krakens 😅😅

[fair charm]

Ah I see

So basically they went into it knowing that this would be an issue

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-they-called-me-a-madman-infinity-war-madman-gif-13990981

(literally no one did but I'll still say it)

[frail roost]

Something about the edges makes sliding more likely, but the flammetal pillars have less horizontal surface area so you're far more likely to land on an edge

[paper marsh]

I'm guessing the issue is that unlike leviathans, you're standing on the ore deposit itself which gets weird when it's designed to be moveable unlike other metal deposits

[azure yacht]

PTB should have NOT released so soon

[paper marsh]

Yea I expected another 3-5 weeks

[fair charm]

As I said, back in the oven it should have gone

[frail roost]

Yeah I was gonna say Jon is preaching to the choir here a bit, all of us talking were PTB testers who wanted this to bake more too

[fair charm]

Ah I see

[frail roost]

I think the pressures of a May game release were a bit too much. May is always a big month for games and a decision was probably made to move forward regardless

[fair charm]

I mean, could have kicked the can down the road by axing the sinking mechanic for ashlands and pushing it to deep north

That would give you at least another year to not fix the bug

[azure yacht]

I understand the decision of pillar sinking bc of queen's power.

Doesn't mean I hate it less tho

[frail roost]

I get the design decision, making something in the lava that can sink seems pretty cool. Reusing the Leviathan seems like a poor choice tho

[fair charm]

I wonder if there will be a mod "flametal pillars don't sink"

or if that's something beyond modding

[ornate sigil]

I have come to spread the good word: #news message

Xbox should now be up and running.

[azure yacht]

If there were more ways to avoid the instant death I would hate it even less.

But there aren't

[azure yacht]

Doesn't sound hard, and I'd be surprised if it isn't done by next week

[rain flare]

Leviathans, trollstav and forts needed work - they came out a bit raw in my opinion 😂

[fair charm]

The fort is nice

[frail roost]

Only 1 design tho

[fair charm]

I can kill the dudes and then have an unbreachable fortress in the ashlands

[rain flare]

The fort is a square box.

[azure yacht]

Tamed asksvin are unreliable as they aggro away.

Flametal set doesn't do anything against lava

Basalt bombs don't seem reliable

[rain flare]

It’s a square BOX! 🤣

[serene talon]

its secretly the experiment with schrödingers cat, and we are the cat

[ornate sigil]

Forts feel small by my definition of fort. Great for solo but tiny for 3+ people to raid all at once.

[azure yacht]

Also, the crafting amount from smoke bombs and basalt should be switched.

You definitely would need more basalt than smoke.

I don't even know what smoke bombs can be used for

[frail roost]

Putting out fires apparently

Pretty niche tho

[azure yacht]

Huh, maybe to avoid fire spreading in wood pieces?

That seems ok-ish

[paper marsh]

I tried throwing a smokebomb at a burning catapult, did nothing

[rain flare]

Better plan:
Don’t.
Build.
WITH WOOD!!! 😂

[frail roost]

Basically. I was told there's no way to put out fires without them, but someone else said they used a frost staff to put out a fire so now idk

[paper marsh]

I imagine it can put out ground fires though

[fair charm]

Ashwood doesn't burn

[frail roost]

Strange seeing as how it is literally burning down around you before you harvest it

[fair charm]

:tinfoil:

[frail roost]

I still think the burning trees are a big part of the crazy high natural instance count

[fair charm]

The trees, the random projectiles from the lava, the insane particles all over the place

[frail roost]

8k instances in a zone without building a single thing is wild to me

[fair charm]

Kind of wild how poorly the game runs considering you can see the polygons

[azure yacht]

Cinder rain makes it turn into coal so they do definitely burn.

Or... More like it's damaged by fire, but doesn't actually catch fire

[fair charm]

Interesting, I've had some ashwood up for ages and it's still fine, by cinder rain do you mean the stuff from the lava?

or is there an environmental effect at play here?

[paper marsh]

lil' meteors fall from the sky sometimes

[fair charm]

I think I just dip whenever that weather event starts and don't come back until it's done, my GPU doesn't want to deal with that

[frail roost]

Mist, Cinder rain, they ain't doing themselves any favors with all these particle effects xD

[opal prairie]

It is also still in early access.

[fair charm]

I mean, it's in early access but mistlands and ashlands are the least performant biomes, at least on my PC

[paper marsh]

The boss causes a lot of particle effects

[fair charm]

Mate, my flametal pillars are all disappearing, I'm not even close to the boss

[smoky quarry]

...now someone needs to build a bridge to Ashlands

[civic stirrup]

Why can't I find the dodge option for mouse and keyboard?

[fair charm]

Block and spacebar

While holding a direction key

[civic stirrup]

Yeah I found it online but idk why its not in the keys menu

[icy sail]

is it possbile that silver vein I found had onle 1 piece of silver scrap? 😦

[fair charm]

It's very unlikely

Did you expose the whole vein before breaking?

[icy sail]

my wishbone stop singing after I dig one vein which gave me 1 piece

not rly

[civic stirrup]

Don't think so, usually there are like a hundred. did you dig the whole thing out?

[smoky quarry]

there`s more the other way

[fair charm]

Oh yeah dig around to find the rest of it, wishbone stops once you've broken one piece

[icy sail]

oh cool ! will dig around thank u

[smoky quarry]

make lots of noise

[icy sail]

but its hardcore mode and its night time so time to wait until morning 😄

[fair charm]

Generally recommended to dig around it to expose the whole thing before breaking it

[smoky quarry]

i say do it at night only with honey food

[fair charm]

😨

[icy sail]

Im scared of werewolves

[smoky quarry]

they don`t like silver

[civic stirrup]

I dig under it then go from there, easier that way

Also most of my ashlands castle got goofed by the update
One tower yet stands however, defiant to the end

(that section was built into a rock and the rock stuck around even when the terrain didn't)

I also have a section of floating old stlye mistlands now XD
(the one with all the webs)

[paper marsh]

Quite the world

[icy sail]

one just came to me so they like silver

[civic stirrup]

I've been in it for most of the time I've been playing since like two months after release

I think I'm at almost 1700 days?

[paper marsh]

They like vikings

[civic stirrup]

They just wanna give you a hug

[dim egret]

Do i have to remake my world to play on the new ashlands update?

[merry pebble]

nope 😄 it should update without problems if you didnt explore ashlands much

[dim egret]

Kk, well im new and we just found the swamp place lol

[civic stirrup]

It seems to update it even if you have explored

[merry pebble]

yeah, but content generation in ashlands might be janky 🙂

[paper marsh]

the edges update at least, not sure about the center of ashlands

[small torrent]

just tamed my first boar (im 160 hours deep)

[opal prairie]

Talking about werewolves.
What do you call a careful wolf? ||Aware wolf.||

[fair charm]

I'm having trouble locating my tamed wolf. ||Where wolf?||

[gentle hawk]

Reminds me of my very first woof I tamed, and he somehow appeared outside my base during raid when I was afk.
Came back to no woof. sobs

[wicked snow]

in the mistlands, is there a way to incerease the effect of the wisp? I still barely see anything

[fair charm]

No

You will see nothing and you will like it

[gentle hawk]

If you're willing to mod, only way

[opal prairie]

When it is standing in plain sight and you find it again. ||There wolf.||

[fair charm]

Oh, it's trying to sell me something now. ||A ware wolf||

[opal prairie]

Its looking at you intently. ||a stare wolf.||

[fair charm]

Perhaps ||A glare wolf||

[paper marsh]

What do you get when you cross a female horse and a wolf? ||A Mare Wolf||

[opal prairie]

Sadly I can't lycan subscribe to these jokes.

[digital heron]

Are all the new weapons available in the lead-up to entering Ashlands...or are they only available after entering Ashlands?

[opal prairie]

After, you need some items from the ashlands.

[paper marsh]

When you're a group of wolves and someones asks who you are. ||We'reWolves!||

[opal prairie]

What do you call a physically disabled werewolf? ||A Lycan’t.||

[civic stirrup]

If you are building a base in the mist lands look for the areas that arn't foggy, they arn't common but they do exist

[paper marsh]

The wisplight no. If it's somewhere you traverse often you can put down wisp torches though, and as Carnafex says there's some areas of mistlands where there's just no mist

The biome is mainly designed for you to listen for enemies and such though, you don't necessarily need to see more than what's right in front of you

I don't find the wisplight too useful and often just start progressing on mistlands before killing yag

[civic stirrup]

Wait really? the fog is so absurd idk how you could travel without the wisp light XD

[paper marsh]

You can see enough to see if there's a cliff in front of you or not. And most the important locations have wisp torches built in so they're easy to spot

Going high for a nice vantage point above the mist helps too

Mobs aren't much a problem because they have a lot of sound cues. Worst case you could also bring them to a mistless area to fight

Still it is nice having a wisplight just not required

[smoky quarry]

i surround the area in wisp torches

its nice to SEE

[paper marsh]

Boss fight is super nice to have wisp torches for

[slender rover]

Anyone know how long the timer is on fiddlehead and smoke puff respawning? I picked some several in game days ago and no sign of regrowth

[strange arrow]

i'd guess the same as berries? 4hr/8game days

[maiden owl]

does anyone know a mod to send mats from your inventory to crates in base without opening one a one?

[strange arrow]

"enshrouded" mod xD

[lunar sapphire]

That's a question for the #mods-discussion channel

[blazing oxide]

Tiny question for you guys. I got the ashlands update on xbox just now, but i had a world i made yesterday, and only explored the starting island. Does that mean the funny lava biome got updated down south?

[drowsy sorrel]

is there a mechanic where you cant parry if the attack will kill you?

does kill*

[orchid quail]

So I have a question related to graphics. I have RTX 3070, with 32 ram and i7 12700k. What would be the best performance/enjoyable settings you would use? Right now, the game is running smoothly. However, I have my first world running since the beginning of time, when making walls with terrain was a bit easier. When Im in the town I built, fps drops to 50/60, while exploring, it never goes down 130+. Should I create a new seed, as the world is a bit old or should I tune the graphics for better perfomance? Again, this only happens in the city I have built (which has at least 10000 objects xD)

[paper marsh]

Yes. If an enemy does too much damage your parry will fail and you take the full damage

Higher block armor (better shield) and also having a higher MAX hp (eat a lot of good hp foods, it doesn't matter what your current health is just your max health) will make the parries succeed more

A parry can fail even if the hit doesn't kill you too. It's just if there's too much damage for your shield and max hp, the parry just gets cancelled

[smoky quarry]

got to beef up

[blazing oxide]

You complaning about 50 fps? Im suffering with 20 over here.

[bitter juniper]

I've noticed stuttering since the update seems like it needed some more time before being released

[blazing oxide]

I had 20 before the update... IT GOT WORSE?!

[smoky quarry]

lower light sources

[paper marsh]

My laptop does pretty well on fairly low graphics and I thin 15 active light sources

[smoky quarry]

i get 60 with 6800xt but lights on High only, rest max

[tranquil pasture]

Does anyone has the codes to enable the modifiers on a dedicated server? Thanks

[opal prairie]

I believe that if you have the shield from staff of protection every parry works, no?

[agile thunder]

Tis a shame the game engine URP doesn’t support DLSS

That would be nice to have

[blazing oxide]

Im on console. We dont have that kind of technology. Guess ill suffer.

[paper marsh]

yup. Can parry a 2 star berserker fuling with your fists

[drowsy sorrel]

thank you

[grand wolf]

Morning everyone

[paper marsh]

Goodmorning

[tiny tiger]

Smoke doesn’t affect windmills right?

[paper marsh]

I doubt it would do anything regarding windmills

[blazing oxide]

Anyone?

[merry pebble]

you got lots of reactions saying yes on your message 😄 but yes it should update without issues i believe

[blazing oxide]

I dont see the reactions. I have an older version of discrod because i hate the new ui, but thanks mate. Cheers

[merry pebble]

[orchid quail]

Thanks! I'll try the active point lights and active poit light shadows on high instead of inf. Everything else is active, right? Distant shadow, bloom, etc. Only motion blur and dof off

[granite dawn]

Has anyone else been wondering what this new rock/stone is supposed to be based on from the Ashlands?
Like Grausten doesn't come up in any translation, so I am going out on a limb that it's an original name.
My guess is it's similar to Granite or Greisen
But I am not too sure.

[paper marsh]

I've wondered but put absolutely zero effort in finding out

[dreamy kiln]

gråsten - granite

[granite dawn]

Ahhh
thank you very much
my hunch was correct

[dreamy kiln]

🙌

[granite dawn]

mystery solved
back to smashing charred

[verbal sky]

Man started a new map and character for ashlands and I've been trying to get to the ashlands as fast as I could. Killing Yagluth last night in troll hide armor aside from a root harnesk and a lvl 1 frostner was an endeavor and then I died twice in the same infested mine and just had to log off for the night. Victim of my own hubris but god damn lol.

[paper marsh]

hmm, depending on the definition of smash that could be considered ||necrophilia||

[paper marsh]

oofie

[verbal sky]

going to have to take the time to break some mistlands iron sources and make some padded armor I think because the bug soldier in that mine was just giving me the business

[languid vessel]

anyone find any new building items added in the ashlands update?

that are not ashlands specific

[verbal sky]

Did they add any other than the p- ooh I can buy chicken eggs now- piles of straw?

I guess there's the stack of bones and black marble too

[paper marsh]

Other than the alchemy table upgrade, shield generator, and I think straw piles (not sure what those take to make), I have not

[verbal sky]

Still wish they'd add piles of the various ingots for decorative purposes

and let me put dragon tears on item stands

[gentle hawk]

You need straws for straw piles, obviously

[paper marsh]

plastic or paper straws?

[languid vessel]

if its plastic, let us build em on Laviathans

[gentle hawk]

Paper to save turdles

[verbal sky]

And now I wonder if they'll ever add sea turtles, I thought I'd heard at one point the ocean biome was gonna be one they expanded as well.

[merry pebble]

heh, i just found a chamber with 8 surtling cores in one room 😄 quite pleased with that

[languid vessel]

its been suggested alot.
i want them to add one more biome before the ocean update so it can act as a symbolic Yggdrasil (9 biomes connected by the sea, 9 worlds connected by the tree)

[verbal sky]

Only biome left is the northern cold biome right?

[languid vessel]

and the ocean

[gentle hawk]

And then some crazy underground biome, with diamonds

[paper marsh]

Yea Deep North is the only real biome getting a bunch of content. And then there's likely gonna be a bit of ocean stuff but if so it is very likely nothing on the scale of ashlands or mistlands

[verbal sky]

I hope ashlands spurred new purchases enough to continue to make updating valheim be worthwhile for them

[plush umbra]

Why deep north not yet released 😠

[verbal sky]

I know they made an absolute killing with initial launch but no idea what the sustained sales have been like

[languid vessel]

took em nearly two years to make ashlands methinks, i think we will get deep north in 2027

[gentle hawk]

I mean, thank Valhalla they made Ashlands after so much time xD take it easy with North

[paper marsh]

Because it is not ready yet. Although if you're really hungry for Deep North you can actually go there already!

[plush umbra]

should have been a soft joke since ashlands had been released lmao

[livid kayak]

Wait what, are people already complaining about Deep North?

[strange arrow]

teasing*

[austere onyx]

Probably would never happen but I would like if they added a way to create those draugr spawners so I can add them around my base and they could clear pesky mobs

[verbal sky]

not in a serious manner I don't believe

[livid kayak]

Okay 😄 I was like wtf for a moment there.

[verbal sky]

We were just discussing the next biome they'll do, north or perhaps ocean

[gentle hawk]

Yea, Deep North doesn't have aurora or northern lights or whatever you call them. I'm so angy, literally shaking rn

[strange arrow]

or perhaps both at the same time

[languid vessel]

✨ aurora borealis ✨

[verbal sky]

I mean any update to the ocean should just be a few monster models and crafting recipes, terrain asset wise there isn't much to be done lol

[vagrant bobcat]

tbh, its a small team, and if I were them... once deep north launches and the game is "done", the player base would start to fall off.

I would personally do another Hearth and Home style update between Ashlands and Deep North

[plush umbra]

Deep north is absolute proof the earth is flat

[livid kayak]

It was the perfect place to hide the interior from my Tardis ánd add a quest to The Doctor that she needed help getting the heating fixed 😄

[merry pebble]

total of 14 cores from this chamber 😄 really nice compared to previous one that had 2 XD

[verbal sky]

jesus that's a nice chamber

[strange arrow]

jammy

[plush umbra]

14 from a chamber? jeez

[verbal sky]

The infested mine I was hitting last night when I died I'm beginning to worry there is only 1 black core in it lol

[plush umbra]

all I got was 14 skeletons

[livid kayak]

I put in 16! But also Sunken Crypts that had no doors at all 😂

[gentle hawk]

Lucky you, my chambers have 2 star archers that oneshot my assland

[verbal sky]

If that got me piles of metal ingots and let me put just about every item that has a model on an item stand such as dragon tears, all flavors of cores, serpent scales, etc then I'd be very pleased with that

[merry pebble]

it was quite big one too, i did encounter only 2 1starred skely tho 🙂 game is going easy on me for once

[strange arrow]

a final finesse for everything building and item related would be nice to see

[verbal sky]

in my new world I started I found a 2 star boar very early on and tamed it, now I just need to tame a 2 star draugr and I'll have a little sasusage factory.

[vagrant bobcat]

That would definitely be really cool. I would like to see more materials/variety of chairs, benches, tables... Potted plants, and other wall decorations

[livid kayak]

There is a mod for that 😛 Both the draugr and the deco.

[gentle hawk]

Sosigs are bis when you get em

[vagrant bobcat]

Especially if they add flowers for potted plants (now that we have vases in ashlands), wouldn't mind seeing craftable dyes using flowers for armors and capes as well.

[verbal sky]

Need to see if I can find and tame a 2 star wolf, wish I'd turned the difficulty of this map up so starred monsters were more common (if that is indeed a setting)

[livid kayak]

Run around at night.

[strange arrow]

i think it is

clearing all spawns every night should bestow the desired result

[verbal sky]

yea that's usually how I do it, it's just time

[livid kayak]

The ARK way: if it is too low level, kill it so it can respawn in a better form!

[verbal sky]

ah ARK, I certainly didn't lose obscene amounts of time from my life to that game

certainly not

[livid kayak]

I took the sideway to Conan, otherwise I would have absolutely done the same.

[verbal sky]

I played a bit of Dangly Bits The Game but it was in the very very beginning and I quickly got annoyed with it

[livid kayak]

It's a game that really relies on the modding community, vanilla can be... underwhelming.

It's a shame they don't realise that or at least act more upon it.

[frigid gust]

Bethesda didn't make it, did they? 😛

[verbal sky]

ARK on the other hand, I had a full year I rode the ole unemployment train while bouncing at a bar for cash and all I did was ARK when I wasn't working the bar or involved in bar related activities

[livid kayak]

I would say worse... but hmmm...

[livid kayak]

I'm on disability, every game that gets my attention will rake in those hours :vv:

[verbal sky]

just got on my remote desktop to check my steam ark hours

6,740.4 pretty much all of 2017 lol

[livid kayak]

500 hours for me, but 3000 in Conan and I'm not counting the hours I spent modding in the devkit 😄

[verbal sky]

lol 45 hours in conan exiles

[paper marsh]

damn my games I at most have played like 700 hours

[livid kayak]

That record stood for many years. Until someone gifted me Valheim for my birthday.

And tbf, when I first played it, I never expected it to take the lead by 1000s of hours.

[verbal sky]

eh like I said I spent a year on unemployment and I was determined to ride that shit till the wheels fell off because I got fired under petty circumstances. Never had a boss cry while firing me before but drama gonna drama

[livid kayak]

I hated it 😂

[verbal sky]

only got the job bouncing at a campus bar in Denver in the last few months but those like 8 months prior to that? Full no lifed it

Wait you hated valheim at first? Really?

[livid kayak]

Yeah, didn't enjoy it, it was not the survival experience I expected and I actually ragequit over building the first time I played.|| I am currently the most downloaded person on Valheimians...||

[verbal sky]

That's funny

[livid kayak]

I think so too 😄

[verbal sky]

when valheim first came out I had just moved what is now my ex in with me but back then she played it along with me and we both just loved the meadows music so much we'd log into the game and play the sound over the speaker system so the room was just the meadows music at like all times for weeks on end

[livid kayak]

But without mods, I would have enjoyed a nice summer with a community and never looked back I think. BuildShare and PlanBuild are what got me REALLY HOOKED. 4500 hours hooked.

[verbal sky]

a community you play with can definitely make or break a game, it's why I have such fond memories of early WoW

[paper marsh]

I first played valheim bc a couple of my friends were playing and they were encouraging me to come join. I had seen a bit of valheim footage and didn't really think it was my game, but my brother owned it and I gameshare with him so I decided to try and join them. After playing for 30 minutes my brother started to play something which kicked me off the game, but I had gotten hooked so went and bought it 😄

[verbal sky]

I just like building stuff and then making it look lived in

[livid kayak]

Oh what helped raking those hours is creating custom content for my own server.

[verbal sky]

I too have my own server but these days I'm alone on it 99% of the time

and I certainly don't make any mods for it lol

[half dragon]

I build stuff, but it often doesn't look like anybody actually lives there.. one day I'll get back to decorating my base. one day...

[livid kayak]

I love to build but I csn't be arsed with decorating if it's just for me. But give me some players to entertain and I know no stopping... It's why I started modding Conan, I tried Valheim before but that was way out of my league back then. But same shit: having a server and wanting to add more to entertain other people. And then there is stuff you want but doesn't exist. And then there is a devkit...

I'm pretty sure I will reopen Unity now I'm more confident in this stuff. Not sure how well that will end, But hey, trying doesn't hurt.

[verbal sky]

yea that's how it usually was for me, building looks cool but the interior is sterile

the one day I put down a table with a bunch of item stands on it and put food items on the stands and put chairs down a various angles on slightly askew rugs and thought it was nice how it actually looked like someone lived there now and had magical food that never rotted lol

[serene talon]

i build stuff and then mostly give up before going back and decorating everything

[verbal sky]

lol

[serene talon]

not this time tho

[verbal sky]

yea that's usually what happens, there's more of an incentive to decorate if you don't play alone

[livid kayak]

I now build for other people, that is my motivvation 😄 Either my players or Valheimians.

[tepid fossil]

ngl they made the Ashland experience like when me and my friend approach Black Forrest the first time
It's hard but i like it actually

[serene talon]

often i also just go build something small different to refresh the mind in the middle of something

[verbal sky]

You know the big heavy wooden walls with metal reinforcement that surround the dverger camps in the mistlands? The ones that if you break them they drop wood and copper scrap? Can you build those yourself in the base game?

[livid kayak]

Oh, i realise now I can recreate one of my mods for Conan! It's called clutter and offers a variety of decor already put together. For admins who don't have time or player who don't want to spend time 😄

[serene talon]

sadly not -_-

[verbal sky]

dammit

[livid kayak]

Aaaaaand there is a mod for that 😄

[serene talon]

you can build dvergr stakewalls but they are not the same

you could spawn them in i suppose

[hollow solar]

if I switch off the Xbox insider version to the official will it mess up my game

[livid kayak]

I am currently exploring a mod that adds all vanilla prefabs to the hammer. I fucking love it.

[serene talon]

i will need to get that mod oneday

[livid kayak]

Also, the pieces are vanilla friendly so someone without the mod can still see the stuff.

[serene talon]

i heard about that

[livid kayak]

I uploaded 2 builds today using it.

I love it, haven't had this much fun building in like a year or so.

[ornate sigil]

Minimaly, you will need to download the "live" version of ashlands. If it acts like steam PTB, there shouldn't* be much/many issues.

[serene talon]

for me it would have made more sense for the all-new-wood set to be the dvergr one, doesnt make sense to build something burnt, new pieces looks amazing tho

[ornate sigil]

<@&816961911522197514> At last the #1202313396356128808 Ashlands update is also rolling out for Xbox and Microsoft Store! We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience with this delay, but we hope you’re looking forward to playing it now! :Hugin:

"Live" ashlands should be available for Xbox now.

[odd helm]

You are so lucky that role pings are disabled to people

[serene talon]

you mean there shouldn't be many issues right?

[opaque summit]

I think my one bit of wish fulfillmen for this game would be them removing stamina constraints when building, it’s so annoying sometimes

[livid kayak]

YASSSS

My standard QOL admin mode has not been updated yet and it is so frustrating.

[serene talon]

i just eat the best stamina food

[livid kayak]

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR STAMINA REGAIN

[serene talon]

right

[livid kayak]

Doing that, but still. Especially when you work on the terrain.

[opaque summit]

Early game lol

[serene talon]

they could just add that to hammer mode

[opaque summit]

The best I got is meat, and my point still stands, you shouldn’t lose stamina while building

[verbal sky]

Don't think I've ever been building and had to stop for stamina unless in no resource cost mode

assuming that mode even uses stamina

[main geyser]

did the cart get changed? i swear its easier now to drive it around with a lot of weight in it

[opaque summit]

It does

[livid kayak]

When you remove stuff and something sounds like breaking, but it isn't the piece you were aiming at...

[serene talon]

one of the best thing of ashlands is gotta be another class of enemies joining the night wars

[livid kayak]

Unfortunately it does.

[verbal sky]

lol I know that feeling well when trying to removes stairs I used to access a spot

[opaque summit]

It wouldn’t really surprise me if they rework how food works eventually

[livid kayak]

Also fun: placing a piece that doesn't end up where you expected it, you hear it being placed, but you never figure out where it went.

[smoky quarry]

why rework the food? it makes sense

[livid kayak]

Oh wow, now I remember the blue monday I played before the H&H update. And the outrage when it changed 😄

[verbal sky]

Was already reworked once, only thing I wish would change is I wish the degredation of the effect of food was lighter for say the first 80% of the time then REALLY sped up towards the end

[fallen zephyr]

'How does it feel'?

[livid kayak]

I hadn't died once upon that point. Oh boy, that changed very quickly,

[smoky quarry]

i wish they added bukeperry pie

[livid kayak]

Old.

[serene talon]

w h y

[verbal sky]

https://tenor.com/view/gravity-falls-gnome-barf-vomit-rainbow-gif-5077915

oh it didn't post the gif, sad

[serene talon]

i can visually imagine it by reading the name lol

[smoky quarry]

bukeperry pie gives you wings

[fallen zephyr]

I think the word you're looking for is 'timeless'. 😛

[serene talon]

technically no flying mount so yeah

[livid kayak]

I keep telling myself that every birthday, doesn't change much 😛

[verbal sky]

the colors that come out from bukeberry

one of the colors is concerningly redish lol

[livid kayak]

I can also recall memories of fighting Yag with Grimmcore at our side.

Everyone died that day. Except me. And that still stands with me for Yag 😄

[verbal sky]

Yag was wiping the floor with me last night, or I guess more specifically the skeeters were on my run back to my corpse more that yag himself was

[serene talon]

i hate yag

[verbal sky]

Guy regened a solid 40% of his health bar from me dying and failing to get back and reengage in time

[serene talon]

i hate him on a personal level because designwise he's nice

[verbal sky]

How do you guys typically fight him? I was fighting him last night in melee with a lvl 1 frostner, wasn't great.

[livid kayak]

Love him 😄 It's the one fight where I am capable of the dance and win the fight. But I admit, the first time was hard, the second time was infuriating. After that it just became easy.

[serene talon]

i just always take fenris armor and frostner, easy

[verbal sky]

lol

[merry sun]

Yagluth rock says "Im powerful than you, fear me!" Combined with the game's difficulty increasing exponentially from it

[verbal sky]

I was in trollhide and root harness last night with the lvl 1 frostner, it was bad

[livid kayak]

Always melee, Frostner or the silver sword, attack as much as close as possible as I can, dance around a pillar, repeat, Doesn take me more than 10 min usually solo.

[verbal sky]

Haven't seen a single frost cave on this map, haven't looked hard either though

[ornate sigil]

Correct.

[merry sun]

I just got stomped wearing fenris, when i switched to full linen set turned into a mid fight

[livid kayak]

That sounds bad. But it isn't as bad as the group of players who ignored all the silver and frost arrows I made the days before and kept trying to shoot him with any other arrow. For an hour. At least.

[verbal sky]

lol I mean at least they were at range making bad decisions instead of in his face making bad decisions

[livid kayak]

That was the infuriating fight. I have YT shorts about my reactions to this. Is wasn't pretty :vv:

[livid kayak]

They still kept dying by the dozens.

[verbal sky]

I've never fought the queen before so I'm sure that'll be an experience

[serene talon]

oh it will be believe me

[paper marsh]

Have fun with her!

[half dragon]

be me
have maxed frostner
make extensive preparations to fight yagulth
Think of a weapon to use for the fight... discard atgeir because it sucked against moder but at least it worked...
Forgor about maxed frostner and take black metal axe instead
Whack it for half an hour and finally win...

[paper marsh]

She doesn't bite... that much

[serene talon]

yeah

[paper marsh]

Think I started out with himmin afl against queen

[livid kayak]

I used my black metal axe the first time too because it was my only leveled weapon. What can i say, I am an axe girl...

[verbal sky]

I haven't used an atgeir since the very first time I played

[hushed cave]

anyone have an efficient base design that completely fits inside a ward?

[paper marsh]

I've barely used atgeirs either. Used them a bit when I started but never since because the secondary attack on them is so boring to use

[merry sun]

Melee= Hardest fight ingame
Cheese= Boring fight

[verbal sky]

the other people I was playing with one was using a sword and one was using an axe and I wanted to keep up the variation so I used the atgeir

[merry sun]

Mistlands ward?

[paper marsh]

eh 2nd hardest I'd say. Otherwise completely agree

[half dragon]

wym, nothing more satisfying than 2 tapping 5 enemies in plains

[verbal sky]

Weapon I've used the most is daggers

[hushed cave]

ward that prevents other people from accessing your stuff

[verbal sky]

Abyssal Razor is stupid strong all the way up to plains and you can get it so early

[paper marsh]

nah not satisfying. Enemies just die like flies and never get a chance to get anywhere near you. No fun of combat in that

Get abyssal razor in Meadows age

Use it until skoll and hati 😎

[merry sun]

Sadly no, but you can just make many of them and place strategically around your base

[paper marsh]

prob does pretty bad in mistlands though lol

[half dragon]

well that would be because you didn't use it enough. You'd notice that it's not nearly as free win as some people seem to believe. You time your spin wrong and you'll get spears into your face or one of the goblins use that time you're flexing after a swing to whack you in the face

[verbal sky]

abyss razor? probably, usually I upgrade to a silver knife eventually but yea the abyss razor is just a god tier weapon

[serene talon]

probably a round design

[merry sun]

When you get 20+ Sneaky skill even you if are standing the enemies ignore you 😂

[paper marsh]

I've tried using atgeir in all the biomes. I agree it's not a free win against ranged enemies, but against melee enemies I don't think I found any (non-brute) enemies that I can't consistently keep at range with the stagger and knockback from atgeir until they're dead. Just timing the spins right and eating the right food

[small torrent]

does hilder generate in old worlds now???

[half dragon]

also spears in general make using atgeir significantly more challenging due to it being a slower weapon

[serene talon]

in unexplored areas yeah, she always could?

[small torrent]

idk its just that when hilderscame out I didnt think I could get her to swan on that old world

[paper marsh]

indeed

[half dragon]

as for mistlands... yea Atgeir is good for clearing mines, but those dvergr? uhh... no. Getting blasted by 100% ranged enemies is not a good time

[paper marsh]

himmin afl shreds. I bet it destroys ashlands mobs too, especially with the high number of them

Dvergr you really just gotta get up close to the most dangerous ones and kill them before they can react to you attacking

Dvergr aren't much of an issue though because you choose when to make them hostile

[half dragon]

except you're not really given a choice since they are gate keeping your progress..

[paper marsh]

I've come to really like spears and knives (and ||dual axes||) due to their fast attack speed and low stamina cost

Sadly pierce damage isn't the best

[serene talon]

2 star fire mages

[half dragon]

and sadly no new knife

[paper marsh]

blood knife backstabs would have been... interesting
