[half dragon]

Meanwhile player ice magic: shoot pebbles

it's not even all that much better than fire staff for single target damage...

[unique mason]

whats everones take on what i should do with my iron. weapons and armor first?

[serene talon]

i always make the mace first

if in swamp

[half dragon]

I think the only reason ice staff isn't as balanced as you'd hope it to be because it's good against yagulth...

I mean queen lol!

But I do plan to grind some yagulth later, planning to add a lot of those wisp fountains outside of a wizard tower I'm planning to build

[verbal sky]

first 10 iron = boat

After that? Maybe a couple big chests and then the iron mace

[serene talon]

then redo it

[verbal sky]

only boss fight I ever bother redoing is moder

for those sweet sweet trophies

[river forge]

Is it just me or do mobs in mistlands etc hit really, really hard, even with highest protection stuff on

[frigid gust]

I often bring 6 copper with me to make a forge in the swamps, that way I can make the nails there and ship back a lot more iron on my first foray there.

[river forge]

Like really hard, they hit like trucks, how are you expected to fight such things

[plush umbra]

its fine if you can parry

[serene talon]

seekers

[frigid gust]

They do 😉 They're very strong. Wearing a root harnesk will help a lot against the seekers and ticks as it will cut their damage to less than half. The other part of course is food... make sure you're using top-tier Plains food on your first forays in.

[plush umbra]

only real problem can be 2 * seekers/soldiers

[serene talon]

i still hate seeker more

every single goddamn ight in every goddamn meadow and blackforest you just hear creatures beating up each other

[river forge]

Carapace armor sucks against them then

[azure yacht]

Chest yes, the other two no

[river forge]

Ashlands is worse?

[azure yacht]

As expected from a biome that is after yes

[river forge]

It's a bit silly sometimes

You can have the best food, armor and weapons and a mob just facerolls you

[serene talon]

i dont think so

[river forge]

What's balance

[serene talon]

there are just different dangers in higher numbers

[frigid gust]

Just drink a fire resist mead. It overrides the weakness of the armor.

[river forge]

Think I will just carry materials to make those bolt firing things and set them up where I want to fight

One for each mistlands enemy

[frigid gust]

On normal difficulty, the seekers become easy with a frostner or ice arrows. Ooze bombs help a lot with softening them up, too. Don't be afraid to run away to reposition if you're getting swarmed, either.

[unique mason]

thank you so much

[river forge]

Need a tactical nuke to throw around at stuff

Seeker soldiers laugh at your big bang

[azure yacht]

My god, there's a typo in munin's message.

Everyone, stop playing the update, your games will be literally destroyed!!1!

[civic stirrup]

Doomed

[azure yacht]

Also silver sword is weaker than mistwalker, which can be very well used alongside other ashlands weapons.

But mistwalker is just one tier lower

[serene talon]

genius idea: Remove silver

[azure yacht]

Surprisingly, the very last biome in the entire game will be difficult.

Shocking

[serene talon]

would be 9 with DN

[azure yacht]

Mistwalker has frost + spirit.

Frost alone makes it superior, spirit adds a bonus

[icy sail]

flux resets in gobilin camps or need find new one? : )

[frigid gust]

Ashlands is the penultimate biome. Not ultimate 😉

[vocal rivet]

Pretty sure Rianu is aware of that.

[rain flare]

One word:
Crowd control

[low vine]

Are greydwarf spawn farms still a thing? Or were they nerfed back some patches ago?

[azure yacht]

Yes

[rain flare]

Which happens to be 2 words 🤣

[azure yacht]

And yes

[frigid gust]

Oh right... shoulda read up further 😛 Don't mind me

[azure yacht]

As in, they're still a thing. They haven't minded those spawners at all

[blazing oxide]

Why does the game load slower than mc bedrock on console?

[low vine]

@azure yacht ty

[sacred owl]

It’s doesn’t 💀

[blazing oxide]

For me it does

5 minutes of staring at a spinning Mjölnir or whatever the load icon is

[sacred owl]

That’s rough

[half dragon]

tell your PC to git gud, always helpful advice

[serene talon]

it is mjolnir i think

[blazing oxide]

*console

[half dragon]

oh... guess have to tell Sony to git gud 😅

[blazing oxide]

Xbox

[fallen zephyr]

Are you on a 486DX-40? (Edit: Oh, Xbox. Not far short. :P)

[serene talon]

nah sony busy ruining helldivers

[blazing oxide]

On a what?

Even worse. Im on a last gen xbox

This bad boy is still going

It's been 6 minutes since i clicked play on the world. That loading icon is starting to creep me out

[fallen zephyr]

I'll take the "raw power" hit so I can see where I'm going with 450 encumbrance in Mistlands, ty.

[radiant fiber]

is there any real reason to use the fracturing staff now? like fire no good in ashlands lol

[blazing oxide]

The game loaded! Lets go!

[fallen zephyr]

Oh, in Ashlands? Then, Club. It's 'a crude, but useful weapon'.

[azure yacht]

Again: Frost

Spirit is effective vs the undead, frost is effective vs literally everything there.

Which also increases the dmg as well, what I said above only referred to the slow effect. So add 58 frost dmg to those 155.5 from mistwalker

[verbal sky]

oh dear, that feeling when you rage logged off last night and wake up and your portal to the island where all your gear is says "unconnected"

[azure yacht]

Oh, my bad then

[radiant fiber]

how do I despawn the roots from the staff of the wild

[azure yacht]

Also, it's not a bad thing that silver sword is so effective in ashlands.

It was pretty much only useful vs yag as you can't count earlier enemies.

Especially considering how expensive it is to craft and upgrade. Old gear remaining relevant in one way or another is positive

[heady flume]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/s/T9ei1aH0JS

[azure yacht]

Frost allows you to even get around asksvin and hit them while they try to turn around

[blazing oxide]

I dont know if its a spoiler, but what the Hel is a heavy build. Wanted to build a chest and noticed a new tab.

[frigid gust]

It's stone, marble, etc. Heavy build pieces. Just a way to split things into more categories.

[slender saddle]

Are the vineberries something you can put on your buildings?

[shy marlin]

Been gaming with the || new axes and himmin in the ashlands and it's legit absurd how strong it is, atgeir stagger into the insane damage and restagger in axes, eliminates anything in seconds ||

[paper marsh]

atgeir secondary attack just needs to be straight up reworked

[radiant fiber]

so much potential to be cool but lacking just a bit

[paper marsh]

and vultures

[fallen zephyr]

But... but... my barley!

[paper marsh]

get a big hammer or a fiery staff

it's not like people use a scythe in real life to harvest crops. No, they grab a big mallet and go beat the shit out of the crop field until it surrenders the crops

[fallen zephyr]

THEMS THA FLAX!

[paper marsh]

Or if they can't afford a mallet they'll rent a flamethrower from the local convenience store and burn the crops until they harvest themselves

interesting. I also didn't know Ashlands mobs were weak to spirit thought they were just normal. Might silver arrows be decent?

Come to think of it, would silver knife be an alright knife alternative considering there's no ashlands knife?

Idk, I feel like I always end up with too much silver. It's so fast to find and mine, and you don't use it for much

[pliant hatch]

You mean:
"You need a lot of it for a few items, but nothing after that."

[verbal sky]

dammit

I just ran into the single most dangerous sailing hazard there is

[high moat]

Disconnecting?

[verbal sky]

Jumping puffer fish when I was sailing without any food

[livid kayak]

Who needs Bonemass anywway 😂

[paper marsh]

tbh most runs I skip bonemass. His power is kinda boring and being raided by wolves in the mountains can potentially be dangerous

[paper marsh]

Ehh kinda depends what you wanna make with it

[livid kayak]

Same, I'm trained now in finding silver without a wishbone. I never liked that thing anyway, had more trouble finding the vein with than without. Stupid bleeping.

I think I've done him 5 times or something, in my 4.5k hours. Okay, maybe 10.

[paper marsh]

Bonemass just trivializes combat for a few minutes I feel. I like something like eikthyr more where it gives you more room to be mobile, so you have to use skill rather than just clicking left mouse button and not caring if you get hit

[livid kayak]

That's exactly how I fight Eik :vv:

[azure yacht]

Has wider attack range and stagger dmg as well

[livid kayak]

But tbf, I facetank everything.

[wise turret]

In the announcement, you showed how the animals stay on the new ship. This was not added in the game. Why? What kind of shoddy work is this update?

[paper marsh]

time to try the higher difficulties

[livid kayak]

But then I have to start thinking about the buttons I push and that never ends well for me.

I'm not good at battle dancing 😄 I don't dodge, I don't parry, I barely use a bow. I just axe things.

[azure yacht]

They did?

[livid kayak]

And one of use will stay standing.

[azure yacht]

I only saw a lox on a ship.

Doesn't really state anything...

[paper marsh]

haven't seen the pic but yea lox already go on ships

[azure yacht]

And you can

[wise turret]

What a deadline? they've been doing the update for a year. They do it terribly slowly and terribly carelessly.

[azure yacht]

And it must be easier considering the bigger size of the ship

[vocal rivet]

And it was.

[wise turret]

They don't. You still can't transport LOH, there is no slot for tying them to the ship by the bridle

[vocal rivet]

Did you report any of them during testing?

[azure yacht]

But they never stated that would be a possibility...

[vocal rivet]

You could always transport lox.

[thorn herald]

Has anyone else come across rotten meat in the putrid caves?

[azure yacht]

They just showed a lox on a ship.

You can do exactly that

[heady reef]

Hi people! 😄 please, we fucked up on ashlands beach ..... 😄 :D, lost 3x, just asking for help, get our stuff back :/ running on dedicated, if somebody intrested, i kiss your feet back 😄

[wise turret]

Yes, two years of early access and they couldn’t even do such a small thing as tying animals to the ship

[heady reef]

just asking for help,,,

[vocal rivet]

They could if they wanted to.

[azure yacht]

"small thing"

[pliant hatch]

Well. If you can do better, show us you full game within the next 6 years.

[shy marlin]

7 hrs of valheim is therapy

[wise turret]

They could if they wanted to make an interesting update with a new Hildir, but instead they just repainted the skeleton and the werewolf mage, but they don't wanted

[vocal rivet]

Yeah, it's their game.

[pliant hatch]

If you don't know the right way, you certainly don't know what the wrong way is.

[flat zealot]

As long as you haven't neglected other things during the day and had a great time I think you should be happy for having this much time to play

[paper marsh]

ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

They specialize in helping people :)

[heady reef]

thanks

[azure yacht]

Literally the only similarity between charred and skeletons is the fact that they're skeletons...

But everything else is completely different

With a clunky attack animation as well

[wise turret]

completely different skeleton dungeon? or completely different a werewolf cave?

[paper marsh]

I really love the brutes and askvins of Ashlands

[strange arrow]

the real skeletons were the ones we met in black forest, uhh, Ashlands, uhh summoned them ourselves

[vale stone]

Are there different strengths to the wind? I know that stormwind is stronger than "regular", but are there levels to the regular wind? I also know that the angle obviously matters, but assuming the angle is always the same...?

[paper marsh]

Haven't personally but I know a lot of people have

From what I understand their only purpose ||is to be used just like bukeberriess||

[azure yacht]

I have no idea.

I would grant the point if they meant the actually reskinned troll caves (putrid holes) and troll from trollstav (literally a troll but as a skeleton).

But the charred and early skeletons is like comparing greylings to greydwarf brutes or deathsquitos to seekers

Starting to feel like everyone has a different definition of what reskin is...

[strange arrow]

they are pretty similar

no-one with eyes can fail to notice that

[blazing oxide]

Marble? God damn, i really need to try getting past black forest for once

[frigid gust]

That's quite a ways past the black forest, but yes 😉 Lots to discover in the game. Play with the world modifiers if you need to so you can progress, the combat and such isn't everyone's cup of tea.

[azure yacht]

Yes, just like the summoned troll from trollstav

It has the exact same behaviour and animations.

But as a skeleton

True, it makes some sense.

But still bugs me slightly

[vale stone]

Lol haven't realized to use them as anemometers

[woven copper]

I think the dvergr rogues in Ashlands might need a couple tweaks. Just watched a couple of them, including a level 2 one, run directly into the lava and die in seconds because they were chasing after something lol.

[fallen zephyr]

Love makes you do stupid things 😛

[woven copper]

haha

[arctic hemlock]

Hi guys! Does anybody have a feeling that there is too much mobs on ashlands for square meter?

[paper marsh]

some people think it's too many some people don't. It's been debated a lot

The devs did change how many mobs there were (nerfed spawn rates) once, I wonder if they'll change it again or keep it at this.

Personally I think it's decent how it is

[woven copper]

Ashlands is meant to be endgame content after Mistlands, a lot of mobs on the map should be expected for endgame tbf.

[arctic hemlock]

liek for party of 3 guys it would be ok, for for solo... every time I battle my way to dungeon through to many of them

well imo mobs could be stronger to fit endgame difficulty. but they overwhelm you with count

[paper marsh]

det er lidt hårdt

It's the last biome currently though so it's meant to be a bit tougher than the rest

[fallen zephyr]

I'm about to reach out to Iron Gate and explain to them that, in physics terms, proximity among entities is increased when the ambient temperature is higher.

[paper marsh]

I do think it is a bit many mobs to be roaming the ashlands everywhere you go, but I don't feel like there's any real challenge anywhere else in the Ashlands so if they nerf the mob spawns they need to make the resource locations more of a challenge imo (hope they do)

[blazing oxide]

Turned the combat all the way down. I aint no dark souls enjoyer.

[mortal otter]

✨ 🍞 ✨

[azure yacht]

Only the Dvergr?

[fresh jasper]

Voltures boiling themselves in the water

[azure yacht]

Then it would feel like pretty much every other biome before...

The theme is around warfare and conflict, it makes sense that you're constantly fighting

[latent cradle]

Anyone who want to help me out in the Ashlands?

I am like constantly dying

[fallen zephyr]

If you're dying frequently, I'd recommend investing in cremation urns.

[paper marsh]

Or lowering difficulty

[latent cradle]

my stocks have increased an infintie amount already

[cunning pollen]

can i just please get some helpppp There's monument of torment (ashland update) right beside my base. How do I destroy it??

[paper marsh]

you hit it

Can even cheese it from afar with a staff of embers or crossbow or something I imagine

[cunning pollen]

i tried to slash it with silver sword and it does nothing ?? 😦

[azure yacht]

If it shows numbers, it's receiving dmg

[latent cradle]

Just attack it with a sword. Mistwalker does take about 5 hits

[cunning pollen]

aight, so i just beat it with mobs swarming on me i'll try tq:')

[fallen zephyr]

When do you plan on cashing out on an infinite return?

[smoky quarry]

Can tamed pets be harpoon dragged?

[fallen zephyr]

Are you Kristi Noem?

[pulsar echo]

Where to post feedback about Asksvins and mounts in general? Don't want it falling on deaf ears.

[buoyant lake]

The old sound of the shield generator was better

and this new sound hurts my ears

[vocal vale]

Is this a dog killing joke?

[fallen zephyr]

Killing dogs is no joke, but Kristi Noem is definitely a joke.

[buoyant lake]

no politics yall

especially not in valheim chat

much more important is my complaining about the new shield generator sound

[paper marsh]

much more important is me complaining about the flammetal shield and how it doesn't parry as well as carapace shield

[buoyant lake]

bro stop talking about it

[vocal vale]

I mean a mod is going to intervene real soon either for the topic or for mini moderation

[smoky quarry]

Thank you!

[fallen zephyr]

Yeh, but the mods are no worse than the rockers or the punks...

[cunning summit]

Hey y'all just wondering will picking up a piece of flametal ore unlock the recipes? I have some ingots and nothing happened when I picked it up 😛

[plush umbra]

they do it for free

[covert sage]

Quick question, best method for copy pasting buildings from an old save to a new save? 🤔

[plush umbra]

plan build works well

[ornate sigil]

Picking up ore should unlock ingots, ingots will unlock other things like weapons/armor/build pieces

[plush umbra]

its a mod

[cunning summit]

Would anyone be willing to let me jump in and pick up a piece of ore, pretty please? 🙂

[covert sage]

Thanks 🫶

[cunning summit]

Thank you!

[ornate sigil]

Try the server chat: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

Otherwise you could just devcommands the ore...

[plush umbra]

i'm not saying its a good thing

the type of person to become a janitor or hall monitor for free because of the kick they get out of it

[ornate sigil]

Might wana move this discussion to general chat since it isn't valheim specific.

[vocal vale]

Generalizing a group of people as all bad isn’t valheim related? I wouldn’t of guessed

I’m really surprised a mod hasn’t shown up, one of those weird lapses of observance today

[paper venture]

It's impossible to play Ashlands solo, it's very difficult, any tips? Is the mage build playing well?

the spawn mobs is insane, many mobs any time at any place

[near furnace]

🤔

[ornate sigil]

I might have overstepped by making the recommendation.

[near furnace]

not really no

[buoyant lake]

ty smifffffeeee

[near furnace]

I was more curious why Tristan once again derailed chats

[buoyant lake]

Back to me complaining that I miss the old shield generator sound

[vocal vale]

Was it more of a florpy sound or a dorpy sound

[odd helm]

I've found that upgraded eitr robes and ember + ice staves, balanced HSE diet, and an upgraded buckler w/ Mistwalker is a great loadout for first landfall

And that was before most of the spawn nerfs they've done since~

[buoyant lake]

Prior, it was quite florpy

now, however, quite dorpy.

[paper venture]

My first run was literally killing 2 mobs and running to the portal, hordes of 5 enemies right away

[paper marsh]

Mage build is definitely the easiest/strongest I'd say

Going hybrid with some magic and a melee weapon as Scarlet suggests is super nice too, I really like that playstyle but it's a tad more dangerous

[odd helm]

Honestly I've been trying fortress raiding on EEE diets and mostly magic weapons and been having a hard time of it

I'd say Balanced or HEE is pretty safe food for a mostly mage player

[paper marsh]

If you jump in to the fortress immediately it might be a bit tough since you can't stay at range in that confined space like you can everywhere else as a mage. Elsewise in Ashlands I find it's pretty good

It's just so fun playing hybrid though, and melee weapons do good damage

[odd helm]

The melee weapons look great, I need to get some~

My flametal so far has only gone into embla chest and shield upgrades

Plus Ripper

[paper marsh]

I'm not the hugest fan of the general Ashlands progression and combat encounters, but man the gear slaps. All the weapons and armor seem fairly unique and satisfying to use

[drowsy magnet]

whats the H?

[odd helm]

Health

So one HP food and two Eitr foods

[dire anchor]

Once you take out spawners its not too bad but ya i had some troubles too. Def gotta be skilled there. Lots of parry for melee and kiting for ranged.

[odd helm]

And you really need to learn to parry

Especially those warriors

The feints still mess me up

[dire anchor]

Yep parry is a must!

Gotta blow of that old dark souls dust and pull out the skills! Lol

[paper marsh]

I'm not great at timing against the feints, but I've still not missed a parry once against them.

I just parry like regular thinking it's a regular attack, and then when I see it's a feint I let go of the block and press it again and get the parry. Just a double block instead of single block

[plush umbra]

Could someone let me have their Eitr-weave Set and Staff of embers please

[odd helm]

You can spawn one in if you need one desperately

[unique mason]

can you use the bronze pickaxe for silver?

[odd helm]

Negative, you need to upgrade to iron

[paper marsh]

it's weird, you can use the antler pickaxe for mining iron, but you do need to upgrade to iron pickaxe for mining silver

[hearty niche]

I always attributed that to the fact that you're mining mud and not iron.

[vocal vale]

That’s a good take on it

[hearty niche]

We don't have a sluicebox but I kinda always imagined it that way

[paper marsh]

Yeah I can see the reasoning for it, but it can be a bit odd when you're coming in and learn that you don't need to get a better pickaxe when your current one can mine everything even 2 biomes later. But then the same rules don't apply for bronze pick

[formal dirge]

Hey! Is it ok to ask Ashlands questions here? Or should we use spoiler tags on anything Ashlands related if so?

[odd helm]

Spoiler policy has been lifted with the official release, no need to use spoiler tags

[paper marsh]

Really? Feel like it could be nice with spoilers at least for the lategame ashland stuff

[bleak pivot]

someone has one new good seed?

[pliant hatch]

Only for Mistland related stuff in case a new player sees it........

/s

[odd helm]

It's a courtesy that we'd like to encourage, yes, but we won't enforce it since it's a lot more nuanced

[hearty niche]

I'd be more interested in knowing what a bad seed looks like? "Good" varies from person to person, to me a good seed is one that forces a lot of boating and exploration

[formal dirge]

I'll put a spoiler tag anyway, just in case. It's || on either side for spoiler tag, yeah?

[odd helm]

Aye, that's right

[formal dirge]

Is there any benefit to upgrading the ||trollstav|| ? The stats look identical.

(except durability)

[bleak pivot]

hahaha boating and exploration its a good seed, but in the moment i need one new seed for speed run

[odd helm]

As a ||summon weapon|| I'd imagine the stats of the ||troll skeleton|| you create changes

Don't have any hard numbers tho

[hearty niche]

There are a few reddit posts and #1202740443352137838 has some good ones

[formal dirge]

Yeah if it's just durability it's totally not worth doing.

[hearty niche]

For that specific speedrun-focused goal I'd probably look for a blog post or similar discussing that because it's likely going to have more of the details/comparison you're interested in.

[vocal vale]

“Good” to me is how many crazy world generation occurrences happen. I want to see bizarre terrain that looks like the gods dragged their fingers through the earth

[minor prism]

deep north when

[vocal vale]

Soon ™️

[hearty niche]

I have close to 3K hours in this game and I'm still amazed by some of the landscapes I find. If the IG team did a deep dive on their procedural generation algorithm, difficulties they've faced and how they solved those difficulties... I feel like the larger gamedev community would really benefit from that.

[paper marsh]

few years prob

[hearty niche]

I'm an old guy that played early alphas of Quake and I remember the id Software response was always "2 weeks".

[minor prism]

nearly 3.5 years

[azure yacht]

I'd say 2026 max

[vocal vale]

It’ll be done by the end of 2025 just to spite you guys

[tiny geyser]

Im thinking of trying out the new update, does anyone wanna join me and expereince it together?

[hearty niche]

The world needs more spite-motivated releases.

[odd helm]

#1024264966712340510 would be the place to look for/ask

[minor prism]

ashlands was very short update ı think mislands was better

[bleak pivot]

i can going search in more blogs, thanks!!

[tiny geyser]

Thx

[vocal vale]

If you’re okay with playing on hard we started a server the other day and only have a few people

[minor prism]

im done with the update good luck

[tiny geyser]

Sure dont worry, what server is it

[paper marsh]

one of us 😈

[hearty niche]

... is there a channel dedicated to discussion of the fandom wiki?

[odd helm]

You brave souls that brave the Ashlands on hard

Ooh, and yes

[hearty niche]

I was playing on Very Hard, got to Ashlands, and had to turn it down to Normal.

[paper marsh]

I tried Ashlands on Vhard but it didn't feel good. Vhard in general doesn't feel good

Hard does feel good though

[hearty niche]

Yeah I think I might tune it back up to Hard now that I've learned some attack patterns

[odd helm]

Channels and Roles should have a 'wiki' role somewhere

Right under the PTB role toggle

[unique mason]

do you have to have frost resis mead to enter the mountains?

thank you

[ornate sigil]

Any armor or cape with frost resistance will work. That includes lox cape if you are willing to brave the plains before the mountains.

[dark oar]

I am having trouble finding flametal ores... My first ashland island is quite large, got lucky enough to get a boss altar right away, few putrid caves, few lava pools, but so far no fortress or signs of flametal...

also yeah, I agree that the spawn rate is pretty insane. Even the Mistland didnt throw that many enemies at you

[mossy river]

WIth campfires and patience you can get around mountains without frost mead. Whether that's worth it is another question.

But if you plop a campfire down when attacked by wolves, the bonus is that you can run in a circle around it the wolves will eventually burn themselves to death.

On my current playthrough I did this and got fenris armor before killing The Elder. I had multiple caves closer to my world spawn than The Elder's altar, so if you're a confident player it's not so crazy.

[merry sun]

Enchantments does reset the quality level of weapons?

[gentle hawk]

Try to cheese Lox cape, it's not that hard. You just need bunch of arrows and max distance you can make between you and the Lox.
Shoot bunch of arrows from max distance, they won't even move.
Gather pelts and gtfo from plains and make yourself a good frost res cape to explore mountains xD

[mossy river]

Correct

[mossy river]

Requires silver also. Not a trivial thing to acquire before you have an iron pick, though doable.

[lone wren]

Also doing this right now except I'm on very hard :D

[mossy river]

I'm only on normal preset, so frankly pretty easy.

[merry sun]

Siege machines are really needed to raid fortress?

[gentle hawk]

True, but much easier than cheesing wolves while frost dmgs you + can have trouble with golems and drakes

[mossy river]

No. You can jump over the wall and use a pick to go under the door of the tower in the middle.

[lone wren]

Max raid chance, highest difficulty, 3x resource rate cause solo. Hard death penalties, no boss portals and fire hazard is on :D

[mossy river]

The camfire stops the frost from damaging you in addition to killing the wolves. Carry 50 wood and you're good. Stone golems are slow and easy to avoid. Drakes are the only real problem, and even then, it's only scary if you're hit by drakes and wolves at the same time.

Compared to luring a troll up to a silver vein, I'll take campfires.

[lone wren]

Getting silver armor to fight elder, very fun.

[paper marsh]

I wish

[fallow robin]

🥴

[tiny tiger]

So am I able to get all the mistlands stuff without killing yagluth? Me and my friend have been exploring the edge we have a mix of mountain/plains tier and have managed to get a dvergr extractor

[river forge]

There are not enough expletives in existence to put into words how I feel about my corpse being in the middle of a camp full of dverger that I angered

[burnt glen]

Not all but most.

[tiny tiger]

As far as I’m aware the yagluth drop is just to be able to see in the mist?

[frigid gust]

Time to go find some bugs and lead them to the camp...

[merry pebble]

yep, the only "hard lock" on progression is Moder 🙂

[river forge]

I can't even get near it

[vocal vale]

You won’t be able to make mistwalker without yagluth

[tiny tiger]

Take a step back, prepare some rescuer gear

[burnt glen]

The Mistwalker sword, Wisplight and Wisp Torches.

[merry pebble]

anything involving wisps 🙂

[frigid gust]

Ooze bombs, frost arrows, you can snipe them somewhat in a hit and run manner

[tiny tiger]

Ah I see, so we could theoretically skip plains armor and go straight for carapace tho?

[river forge]

I might have to prepare

[sterile prism]

is everyone loving the update???

[river forge]

just did some 15 corpse runs, dead before nabbing the corpse or shortly after

[mossy river]

Bonemass is probably the least useful boss to kill. You can skip all silver gear if you want, and you only need to find one exposed silver vein for a butcher table and some other random stuff.

[shy marlin]

Yag is up there

[tiny tiger]

Sometimes you can’t just brute force it unfortunately I’ve died in mountain before to then have to gear up with swamp gear and died in swamp gearing up to get my mountain stuff

[mossy river]

And killing Bonemass enables drake raids if you haven't killed Moder, and drake raids might be my least favorite.

[frigid gust]

I've seen people build Carapace gear without having even beaten Eikthyr. But that's masochism levels of commitment to do that 😉

[shy marlin]

Doesn't that require moder tho

[tiny tiger]

Yeah screw plains tier armor it takes too much iron

It’s been a pain farming for fenrir armor I’ve killed easily over 50 cultists and no trophy

[river forge]

Game isn't balanced at all anyway

[mossy river]

And honestly, Queenie is now up there as a pointless boss kill. Sailing the drakkar sucks, I honestly might try to raft to ashlands and then feather cape the rest of the way, once I get to the spires.

[river forge]

I wouldn't sweat about tiers

[tiny tiger]

How come?

[frigid gust]

Hmm... you may be right. I think you do need it to get sap and the eitr refinery. But they have definitely done it without beating Yagluth.

[river forge]

You can max out carapace armor and a seeker soldier will still one shot you

[mossy river]

Which part of that isn't self explanatory? Have you tried sailing the drakkar through ashlands yet? They even reduced the spire density from what it was, but it still sucks.

[shy marlin]

Unless there's a new method i'm missing you can't get eitr without moder, but ye without yag is doable 100%

[tiny tiger]

I’ve only just reached plains tier

[sharp raptor]

Bonemass kill should mainly be for his power

[mossy river]

Fair

[modern moon]

is there any quick way to get iron in ashlands? forgot to bring some

[slender rover]

Artisan table is required for a bunch of stuff, you aren't getting far into gear for Mistlands or Ashlands without it

[tiny tiger]

I guess nearby mistlands and a sword statue..? Unless something there has it

[mossy river]

Putrid holes and pots in surface ruins. But you'll need luck.

[slender rover]

Sometimes the clay pots in ashlands drop iron

[modern moon]

thanks, ill keep an eye out and hope i get lucky

[mossy river]

The pots are on the upper levels of buildings with stairs. Make it easy on yourself and bring a stack of wood to make climbing up therer easier.

[verbal sky]

jesus fucking christ, just spent the last 4 hours getting back to my base, restablishing the portal connection, getting back to the infested mine, and then a single tick catches me at the wrong time and I can't get it off me and kill it in time and boom back to the starter island and my portal is unconnected yet again.

[jaunty scarab]

I used to be able to destroy the bottom of the large swords and armor in the Mistlands and everything else would just fall apart. Did they change how physics work with those structures?

[verbal sky]

complete reset to where I started

[tiny tiger]

There might be an invisible connection somewhere where the ‚blocks’ that make up builds are touching

[frigid gust]

Restart the game? If the portal was connected, it should be fixed with a reload of the world last I knew. I'm sure you also know that dodge rolling will knock a tick off.

[merry sun]

Ashland culinary is kinda easy, But what food is most worth eating regularly?

[verbal sky]

I do know, problem was the tick caught me with 30hp after getting hit by a seeker soldier from the stairs below me and I had no stamina so yea I was able to roll it off once but couldn't finish the job and it just latched right back on and I was doneso

[tiny tiger]

Do you have any major healing potions yet?

[verbal sky]

3 grave stones in that mine with all my shit in them on an island just outside the ashlands waters and here I am at the boss stones dick in hand and naked

I dunno about major ones but I have some just didn't have them on me because the goal was to get in and get out but clearly the goal was not reached... at least not with me getting out in the desired manner

[merry sun]

Major Healing saved me in many situations in ashlands

[paper marsh]

Agreed. For me the skippability is probably bonemass > Yag > Queen > Eik and then I wouldn’t ever permanently skip Elder or Moder

[tiny tiger]

I’m surprised by how easy they are to craft compared to the previous healing potions

Bruh skipping bonemass? The ability is busted tho

It has saved me many times

[mossy river]

Skipping Eik feels a little obtuse just because it's so close to spawn

[paper marsh]

Exactly, it makes things rly boring for me so I don’t use it much

[shy marlin]

If we're fine with a little chair ~tech~ elder is very skippable

[tiny tiger]

Chair key

[paper marsh]

Skippable, I just don’t like to

[mossy river]

Mistlands gives you plenty of iron, depending on your resourcefulness.

[shy marlin]

Sometimes you sit down and just end up in a crypt, wacky stuff

[tiny tiger]

I’d say it’s very beginner friendly, it’s allowed me to attempt the mountain golem and fuling berserkers with a little less fear of dying instantly especially when it’s your first time facing them and you have no frame of reference for the damage they deal

I find it synergises well with tasty mead and huge amounts of enemies

[blissful stream]

lava really needs to be a ramping damage and not an instagib

[uneven forge]

i think this is a simple, get better situation?

[blissful stream]

ew. a skill issue sammy

my issue isn't with falling in lava lakes shouldn't mean death. my issue that the random patches next to them on what should be safe ground do the same damage as if you were in the center of the thing

[uneven forge]

you seriosuly dont think the devs considered a ramping up damage...i mean they litteraly did it to the water system....but if you think jumping in lava is anything but instant death then like idk what to tell you

[blissful stream]

visually it's not consistent

[plush umbra]

I put lava on my burritos

[ornate sigil]

I do agree that the, very small barely notable lava pools that are far from the lakes, shouldn't exist or not be a instant death if you don't have full flametal armor.

That tiny orange-is patch that is less than an ankle deep over there in the middle of safe walkable terrain? Yep, death.

[modern moon]

if i hit 5 different enemies with a polearm spin attack, will i get 5 xp for the polearm skill from that single attack or just 1 xp?

[idle storm]

1xp, it's per successful attack, not per enemy hit

[chilly estuary]

HI !
Someone hepling with issues?
i'm having crashing when playing

[frigid gust]

#valheim-help is the best place to chat in depth about issues you're having

[uneven forge]

be careful, he gets mad when people point out the obvious i think

[vocal rivet]

You could all be less of a jerk about it.

[uneven forge]

sorry derek, im working on my anger issues

[hot flint]

Is there a lore reason for the character's eyes being always blue? just curious

[vocal vale]

Perhaps it’s because we’re odins chosen and his eyes are blue?

[hot flint]

Yeah i was guessing it had something to do with that

[dark oar]

Same feeling here. I died to a (barely visible) spot of lava when fighting skeletons. Also the whole "does nothing for a few seconds then instakill you" is quite frustrating. I'd rather have ramping damage over time. Downing a fire resistance potion doesn't seem to slow it down.

[ornate sigil]

Nothing that I have come across. But it would make for a convenient identifier for those who are no longer among the living(those carried to a new world by valkeries at Odin's will)...or the devs didn't want to make pupils...not sure which.😋

[ornate sigil]

The fire resistance is a different factor. Lava is "heat" resistance. With flametal armor, you get a couple seconds of the edge of the screen turning red before you catch fire (something similar in the boiling waters but takes longer).

[little slate]

can I change the world settings after I created the world?

[ornate sigil]

If you are referring to "world modifiers ", yes you should be able to.

[little slate]

yes, world modifiers

how do I do it?

[ornate sigil]

Before clicking to join into your world, there should be a button that says "modifiers " much like the start button.

It will have sliders and presets. Hammer mode, easy, normal, hard, hard-core if I remember right.

One slider affects drop rates, another difficult of combat, ect.

[little slate]

yes, but I already modified the world and I wonder if I can change it after

we picked hard difficulty with friends but we're too bad at the game

[ruby ember]

sooooo

[ornate sigil]

You should be able to still.

[ruby ember]

i just noticed something interestinggggg

the iron sledge does the same damage as my iron mace

and i want my iron and gold back

because i think its useless

[pliant hatch]

The host can change the settings every time you start the game and before entering the world if you play it at the host's PC.

If you have your own (dedicated) server it should be possible too, but I have no idea how.

[little slate]

Thank you very much for your help guys

[bright sonnet]

are ashlands night longer?

[ornate sigil]

It could have something to do with a difference in skill level. Your hammer skill may be at a different level than your mace/club. Only way to "rebate" materials spent on armor or weapons is to cheat. Devcommands or mods.

[formal dirge]

The ||trollstav trolls|| don't seem to level up your ||blood magic when they kill enemies||. That seems weird, do we think that's intentional?

Would it be too broken if they did?

[pliant hatch]

I doubt it, but it's likely it looks like that because the entire biome is more dark from the start.
Kinda like Swamp having a more dark feel due to less light as well.

[sacred owl]

Is there news on ashlands Xbox yet?

[ruby ember]

theres a separate skill for it?

[ornate sigil]

#news message

[sacred owl]

Oops sorry

[ruby ember]

i dont see a hammer skill here

just clubs

[ornate sigil]

I believe so. Check the 3 interlocked triangles on the in game menu.

[pliant hatch]

2-handed Hammers are using the same skill as maces (clubs).
But while the raw damage may feel like being the same, don't forget that a 2-handed hammer is doing lots of AoE damage as well.

[ornate sigil]

news to me

[ruby ember]

right, because tanking things works in this game, definitely (it doesnt, never has and never will)

ive spent like 5 straight hours trying to get good food and after all that, if i try to swing this thing at a draugr, i get 3-4 shot by him and his two pals

ill just kite and mace and save this thing for door and leech cheesing

[pliant hatch]

That's not because the damage output you do; that's because that weapon is using more stamina and is more slow in its use as mace is.

[ruby ember]

i know

therein you find the damage problem

like zero dps, and you swing once and you're dead because you take a month to swing

[pliant hatch]

What's your skill in clubs?

[ruby ember]

i might as well mail them the damn hammer

20

[pliant hatch]

And the level of your 2-handed hammer (whichever that one is)?

[tight yacht]

Stagbreaker?

[fair charm]

2 handed hammers are for memes and for finding underground ore veins

[tight yacht]

Memes I understand, but how are they used for finding ore?

I never bothered with them in any capacity since they are slow af

[fair charm]

if you hit the ground near an underground ore vein you'll get a "Too hard" message pop up

[tight yacht]

That's clever

[pliant hatch]

Just slam the ground with them.
When the "too hard" message pops up, there's likely ore over there.

Works in both the Swamp and the mountains

[tight yacht]

Thanks fellas, new strat

[vocal vale]

I thought they were changing that

[tight yacht]

What ore is underground in the swamp?

[vocal vale]

Iron

[tight yacht]

Iron comes in veins now?

[fair charm]

muddy scrap piles also spawn underground in the swamps
It's just rare

[vocal vale]

Not a lot and it’s just a pile

[tight yacht]

I always thought it was only found in dungeons

[vocal vale]

It’s just not worth acquiring besides in the dungeon

[tight yacht]

Is the mudpile a different model than the vein?

[mossy river]

Digging for muddy scrap piles in swamps is not worth your time except for maybe if you need two iron for a stone cutter or something

If you're clever you can spot muddy scrap piles outside of crypts sometimes. The best place to look is steep hillsides that border other biomes. I once found three along a plains swamp border with a steep hillside.

[tight yacht]

Too much work, rather pillage a crypt

[mossy river]

Crypts are also a good source of chains

[tight yacht]

The undead ain't gonna purge themselves

[bright sonnet]

The thing is the classic scary music you hear when the nights starts doesnt sound in the ashlands

So i dont know when it starts

[tight yacht]

This games ambience and environment is just so good

And they nailed the feeling of safety once you return to your home

(Assuming your home is safe)

[mossy river]

I showed valheim to a lot of people over the past couple weeks and they generally agree. But the one place it looks pretty bad is shadows indoors from fires.

[ornate sigil]

It can be hard to tell, until multiple star enemies try to jump you...

[pliant hatch]

Valheim rule #1: to survive, make sure your home is safe.

[bright sonnet]

yep lol. rn im searching for a 2 star askvin, i think is the same way with 2 star wolves, 1% chance of appear so yeaahhhh.

[pliant hatch]

But I admit, when picking an island to build a base, it's easy for me to say that. 😄

[tight yacht]

I'm only in meadows for my freshly-reset-for-ashlands run

[ornate sigil]

I do notice that it gets nearly to dark to see more than a couple meters ahead when night falls, but it is like black on black..difficult to tell the subtle difference in shade.

[tight yacht]

But I always find one of those tall stone rings near the ocean and wall it up for my first base

Then I put spikes all around it and convert each of the stones into a small archery platform with ladder access

So I have like a palisade wall and archery towers, and one gate in

Still plenty of room inside for bees, smithing/smelting, and a garden

So far that's never been breached

[frail roost]

Exposure to Spice obv

[fair charm]

Ashlands question: Will the pillar start sinking if I blow up an explosive rock at the base or is it only when it's gently caressed by a pickaxe?

[ruby ember]

max

[finite lodge]

is ashlands the final place that should be visited?

[fair charm]

Ashlands is the second to last biome, there is still the deep north, in the north of the map, which is unfinished

[pliant hatch]

In that case, think about what would happen if you swing a broom or a brush.
Both may hit just as hard, but with a broom you will be able to swing less often as with a brush, but you will also be able to hit more things / people with it at the same time.

[ruby ember]

mmm but my brush comes with a dustpan (buckler), and the broom just sorta moves shit around

[pliant hatch]

You won't be able to defend / block better with a 2 handed weapon compared to a one handed weapon and a shield.

[ruby ember]

so it suckssss

but i might e able to cheese bonemass from atop his skull thing

with the shovewave

[pliant hatch]

From what I've read - and a tiny bit of personal experience - the only thing I know is that a spear is useful up into swamp, but not even to kill bonemass; that an Atgeir is basically the OP weapon and that the Magic staffs are OP once you get into Mistland.
The 2 handed hammers are useful to find ores in swamp and mountains. And later to deal with the spawns in the queen fight - or even the queen herself if you can get her to glitch.

[sleek slate]

Oh man Ashlands is crazy scary

[ruby ember]

wait wdym find ores

[swift flare]

Question, are there pre-built worlds I can download and use in Valheim? I lost my save for my massively built up Mistlands world but am really eager to dive into Ashlands

[finite lodge]

ugh its been over a year since i played and i cant find my corpse xD

[pliant hatch]

It's been mentioned before.

Slam a 2-handed hammer at the ground and look for the "too hard" message pop up.
Mine there and you will find silver in the mountains or iron in underground mud piles in the swamp.

It's useful in the mountains, but since you can haul more iron from the crypts in the swamp, not of much use if you kill the bosses in the intended order.

If you consider skipping a few bosses, however, it's a very useful way to get some iron before facing Moder.

[pulsar osprey]

I have a question. I played on PTB for Ashlands, now that it is officially released. Do I need to revert my game back to play with my friends who didn't play for BETA?

[finite lodge]

moder is the mountain boss right? i think thats where my corpse is on one of these servers

[pliant hatch]

Moder is mountain boss, yes.

If you want to get your corpse from there, better make sure you have eaten well and drank a Frost resistance potion.

[finite lodge]

im just jumping from every server in my list to see if my gravestone will appear on the map

[upper vale]

Hey does anyone know how to make a doorway for a flame metal gate that doesn't look goofy

[tepid pike]

We made one with flametal posts that looked pretty nice

[upper vale]

So I take it you have to just build one that's not on the building grid

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps building "backwards" might do the trick?
And there's always the "[shift]"-option

[tepid pike]

Freeplaced with the shift key

[upper vale]

I don't see how building it "backwards" would fix the issue of the gates not fitting on the building grid dimensions wise

[upper vale]

Yeah I figured on console we don't press shift press the left bumper and right stick to toggle the building grid on or off

[pliant hatch]

Simple:

Place the gate first, build the poles next to it and start building the walls from that point on.
You can clip wall pieces into other pieces with or without using [shift]; so eventually it will fit the grid.

[buoyant lake]

Didn't the askvin armor give extra movement speed bonus before release?

Because I thought it did

[native plover]

whats the straw for?

[buoyant lake]

decoration

[upper vale]

Comfort level

[mild cedar]

hello valhiem chat

Im starting to work on my first large-scale build

[azure yacht]

Asksvin cape in tailwind

[mossy river]

It did not. When it rolled out, each piece of the armor had no bonus, and there was also no set bonus.

Throughout the whole process, it had no speed bonus or penalty

[mild cedar]

I just finish building the frame for the base why does it actually look good

[hazy seal]

Tbh the game looks wonderful but oh boy do I wish a "you can't see shit today" weather was far less frequent

[mild cedar]

wdym

[hazy seal]

Fog and mist stuff

[mild cedar]

I dont have it happen that often. I only have it occasionally in the meadows and oceans really

[hazy seal]

Like, make it track how many days have passed from one another, I'm so sick of constant fogs

Fog is the worst weather cuz it genuinely hinders you from even just enjoying the graphics

[pliant hatch]

Just wait until you get to Mistlands.
Compared to the fog you encounter now, it's like walking blind folded in a pitch dark room with furniture at spots you won't expect at all.

At that point you will long for the fog you have to deal with now.

[waxen citrus]

anyone know what you need to parry an abomination on hard difficulty?

[swift flare]

Bold request but would anyone be willing to download their pre-ashlands world and send it to me?

[snow hull]

Does anyone know if reverting a server to a save made before the update will cause any problems with the new ashlands areas loading?

My bad wrong channel

[mild cedar]

this base is testing the very limits of valhiems stability system but somehow its still holding up

[drowsy sorrel]

is there a way to uproot things you planted, i pushed the boundry of how close i could place them and some now wont grow because i made a small error, do i just need to wait till the others around it grow? or can i pick them back up somehow?

[foggy glacier]

if you're careful, you can use the secondary fists attack (kick) to destroy the ones you don't want.

[hazy seal]

I know how mistlands look, both fogs suck

[ruby ember]

i just defeated bonemass, but it felt so cheesy the way i did it that I just obliterated the wishbone and all the loot i got from it, im gonna do it again, but this time an earth wall around the entire thing so I don't get ganked by everything in the fucking swamp just for being honest

[drowsy sorrel]

but that doesnt refund them

[foggy glacier]

nothing does.

[drowsy sorrel]

😦

[fair charm]

No if you plant wrong them you've lost one item forever

But they're plantables so you can always farm more

[paper marsh]

Haven't used stagbreaker in a while. Does silver say "0" or "too hard" when hit?

[foggy glacier]

I think it's just "0" now.

[knotty gale]

if my friend owns the world, and i want to play without him, is there a way he can share the world with me so i can open and play without him on?

[fair charm]

Yes, if you're playing on steam he needs to

1. Go to Manage Saves
2. select the relevannt world file from the Worlds tab
3. Download the world using Move to Local
4. Navigate to AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim\worlds_local

[woven wagon]

Anyone having trouble with grown vines actually producing fruit?

[fair charm]

In that folder there will be a .db and a .fwl file, he can send those to you and you put them in the same location

[edgy estuary]

evening everyone lost my old world that i used to beat mistlands, but for some reason i still have my character. i was wondering if anyone would have some endgame crafting tables and repair benches i could use to repair my tools

[paper marsh]

it's "too hard"

[knotty gale]

does this save builds, progress and such?

[fair charm]

Yes, but it won't sync between files

[drowsy sorrel]

can your farm be like, tramppled or something? I just lost half the carrots i was growing

[knotty gale]

makes sense, thank you!

[fair charm]

So basically, if you make progress on the world, you will need to host the game next time

[fair charm]

Yes, valheim creatures hate growing things,

[tepid prawn]

mobs like to attack crops a lot

[drowsy sorrel]

dope

[fair charm]

Ye

[ruby ember]

round 2

[drowsy sorrel]

will greylings through rocks over fences to break them?

or can i just fence it in and leave it alone

[edgy estuary]

OMG thank you so much!!
just dm me server info

[knotty gale]

enemies dont agro your builds unless you are near it, so if you fence say a farm and leave the farms area they wont attack it

[drowsy sorrel]

ok

[paper marsh]

There's always a little risk with farms unless you build big walls with a lot of space from the plants, but a fence should be alright if in the meadows

If a greydwarf shaman comes by though bewarned: His poison goes through the fence and can destroy a lot of crops

[drowsy sorrel]

good to know

[median cave]

For the "Bleeding" weapons, when it says "Damage increased per health missing: 0.2%"... is that per point of health missing or percentage missing? e.g. if I'm at 100hp / 200 max, am I at +20% or +10%?

[tight yacht]

is there actually a way to sneak attack with bows or is it just a normal bow attack while undetected

[fair charm]

normal bow attack while undetected

[mild cedar]

finally finished my first megabuild

[ocean linden]

So I have talked to Hildir and went to the quest locations....there was nothing there?

[azure yacht]

Yes. 0.2% extra dmg per each point of hp missing

[tight yacht]

do you run faster with weapons sheathed?

[fair charm]

Yes

[mild cedar]

yep

[fair charm]

Press R to sheathe both of your weapons and R again to unsheathe them

[azure yacht]

Or unequipped in general

[mild cedar]

deathsquito jumpscare

[median cave]

Awesome, thanks for clarifying!

[ruby ember]

that was the single most exhausting experience ive ever had in this game.

||tried walling in the boss area, gave him WAY more than enough space to spawn in, but no, he just spawns on the other side, so now all my escape routes are cut off, which means I had to take a break in the middle of a boss fight to break down the walls, then I got ganked by like every creature in the swamp, even with poison resist potions he still kept killing me with it, i dont know how 0.5 pops up and i take 2 damage a tick still, but fine, ok, but why did an army of draugr show up? Oh! Another amazing tidbit, is the fact than everywhere around the arena, you go from flat dry land to immediately in a swimming state, and guess what was everywhere around me? Thats right, leeches. So while I was originally trying to build a wall around it so i can just fight the boss and the minions he spawns, I ended up with a 45 minute battle with the entire swamp, plus him, having to do like eight runbacks, and wasting all my stone on the wall, so no, from now on, I will in fact not be fighting bosses honestly, or at least not bonemass||

tldr: im mad and stoneless and it's boneman's fault.

[fair charm]

megamind.jpg
No stone?

[ruby ember]

wasted like a hundred iron on a hammer that is precisely -100% better than my mace, wasted like 800 stone on a earth wall that didn't work, and about 10 hours of potion and food making on gear retrieval on a boss i opted into fighting honestly after hving already cheesed him because i felt there was more fun to be had

[mild cedar]

i usually clear out the immediate area of enemies and wait for a new day before summoning a boss. Learnt the hard way with a nighttime fight against elder. 2 trolls on me and 6 graydwarves of various types.

[ruby ember]

i did that though

[fair charm]

As a side note, you can drop campfires and they'll prevent enemy spawns in a decent radius while enemies won't attack them unlike crafting benches

[ruby ember]

i promise you i did, but every time I turn around theres like 4 new draugr

[fair charm]

Also the fun to be had in fighting bonemass is from coming back when you're geared to hell and back and beating him senseless

Bonemass is a pretty big filter

[mild cedar]

i didnt have much issues with bonemass

[ruby ember]

i look forward to never fighting him again

i will actually just transfer my wish bone between saves if this is what awaits me every playthrough

[fair charm]

Honestly I went at him with the iron mace and shield and didn't experience too many problems

[ruby ember]

because jesus fucking christ i hated that shit

[mild cedar]

yeah thats what i did

[fair charm]

Yeah it wasn't a great experience but not the worst

[ruby ember]

me too, i have my gear maxxed out and all the potions and food I could get my hands on, and i still died like 8 times

[mild cedar]

iron sledge isnt really worth it, I just stocked up on serpent meat and stew, a muckshake, poison resist mead, and iron armor+mace and shield and didnt have many problems

[ruby ember]

i did the same thing

[mild cedar]

anyway now to try to tame a lox

[ruby ember]

i just feel burnt out

[tight yacht]

does the act of chopping trees cause greydwarves to appear

[ruby ember]

that amount of farming for this return on enjoyment kinda killed my momentum

[mild cedar]

greydwarves and other creatures react to noise, which is created quite a lot when chopping trees

[tight yacht]

i swear more spawn in

[mild cedar]

it feels like that

[ocean linden]

Anyone have any idea on how to do the Hildir requests?

[mild cedar]

lox spotted, im gonna try to isolate it from its herd and then harpoon it

[ruby ember]

i can clap bonemass if i dont get ganked by random level enemies

[mild cedar]

yeah. bonemass himself is easy, its just the swamp that makes him annoying

[olive cloak]

is there a new battleaxe in the ashlands? if there is dont tell me the name

[mild cedar]

lox has been put in the pit

now we just wait.

[old kite]

what is bonemaw meat used for

[ruby ember]

can you check something i send in screenshots rq

[tight yacht]

eikthyr = jump training

does axe skill make chopping trees better or is that specifically wood cutting

[raw escarp]

Is anyone else unable to sail into Ashlands? The boat just sinks to the bottom of the ocean and everyone dies.

[paper marsh]

20%, so really designed for triple or at least double hp food. Feel it could use a lil buff though

[ruby ember]

i think i read somewhere that you can only get there on a drakkar

[mild cedar]

Do you have the new ship

[smoky quarry]

[raw escarp]

Yes both times with the drakkar

It doesn't take damage. It just sinks to the bottom. Then everyone either makes it to spire or gets cooked.

Someone else also on steam posted this same issue a few hours ago. Not sure if it's everyone or tied to a mod somehow. I played the ptb on Xbox and didn't have any issues like this.

[mild cedar]

i personally havent been to the ashlands myself yet, so im not too familiar with the boiling waters mechanics. Ill see what i can find online.

[smoky quarry]

i`ma just build a bridge to it

[tight yacht]

is there a command to just grab one of something?

without splitting off one first

[weak cypress]

Honestly, just drop cloudberries on the ground and then go hide nearby. Tame the whole herd at once

[paper marsh]

Hmm yeah I played ptb on steam and didn't have an issue either. Haven't tried since full launch

Although I'd imagine there being a bigger fuzz if it was happening to everyone

Could likely be a mod issue

[raw escarp]

We use very limited mods. If it is many of the modded servers will have the same problem. We just beat the queen and after that this just feels really bad.

[smoky quarry]

with the fishes

[fossil oar]

whats the deal with world generation? my friend just got it cause its on sale and hes trying to make a world and its taking forever/not responding

[mild cedar]

what types of mods do you use.

[paper marsh]

Is it the same with a longship? I've found it possible getting to the coast in a longship (I had a pretty clear path). I'm guessing possibly with a repair midway or jumping on the rock spires you can make it even if your path isn't the best

[paper marsh]

Gotta let it load for a few minutes first time, even if it says it's not responding. Could take 5-10 min

[mild cedar]

hes using the drakkar.

[raw escarp]

It's a mess. The water is full of floating tombstones and sunken ships.

[smoky quarry]

clearly a bug or conflict.

[mild cedar]

what types of mods are you using

[smoky quarry]

Sea of Tombstones

[turbid pollen]

How do I get my cursor to display the x and y coordinates on the map?

[paper marsh]

yea but the drakkar isn't working

[raw escarp]

Anti cheat
Server side characters
Dungeon reset
World clock
Floating items
PlantEverything will be updated to: 1.17.2 AutomaticFuel will be updated to: 1.4.1 Groups will be updated to: 1.2.8 Build_Camera_Custom_Hammers_Edition will be updated to: 1.2.3 PlantEverything will be updated to: 1.17.1 World_Advancement_Progression will be updated to: 0.2.12 Venture_Location_Reset will be updated to: 0.9.0

[paper marsh]

I'd say probably with a mod. Don't think it's a vanilla function but could be wrong

[raw escarp]

Also boat explore radius and equipment slots

[mild cedar]

i would try disabling the mods one by one and using dev commands to test the drakkar near the ashlands.

[mild cedar]

Start with boat explore radius. Anything that relates to boats is likely the issue.

[bitter juniper]

Dude ashlands was not ready to be release it's performance is absolute dogshit

[raw escarp]

I was surprised they dropped it with all the changes they've been making. Didn't feel ready to me either.

[smoky quarry]

works fine. Mods are expected to bug out since they are outdated

[paper marsh]

Been fine for me outside of a little framerateyness during parts of boss fight

I do wish it had a little longer to cook before release tho

[mild cedar]

i cant say my imput. Havent visited yet

still have to kill yagluth and queen

[paper marsh]

skip them 😎

jk

[mild cedar]

I should try pulling some pirates of the carribean moves to sail there.

[bitter juniper]

@raw escarp @smoky quarry The Ashlands itself is a stutterfest

[raw escarp]

It wasn't juat the boat. First one player couldn't move and was just sliding around. Then the boat sank and then even those on spires eventually slipped off and sank to the bottom of the ocean. Like that section of the game was completely broken. No issues at all until we tried going into Ashlands.

[west pulsar]

Hoiiiiiii

[mild cedar]

only solution i see would be disabling mods

[oblique fern]

Any tips for decreasing lag in game?

[fair charm]

As in graphical lag?

Turn shadow quality to low
Turn SSAO off

[oblique fern]

Yeah just a lot of stuttering and mobs sliding mid fight

[fair charm]

Are you on multiplayer?

[oblique fern]

Yeah - dedicated server with me and a friend

[fair charm]

Play single player

I'm guessing this is in ashlands?

[oblique fern]

Yes.. lol

[fair charm]

Yeah, basically it means one of you has a bad computer

[oblique fern]

rough, cuz it aint me lol

[fair charm]

I mean, both people can be fine in single player, but as soon as you get together the game just gives up and dies

Could also be someone has a bad connection perhaps?

[oblique fern]

I was about to say, we're not far apart and there is a storm brewing in the area, could be the issue too

[fair charm]

If you get far enough apart the lag will resolve

[oblique fern]

Is there a general 'threshold' for entities that starts to lag? And is there a way to check entities in an area?

[fair charm]

I don't think it's entities I just think it's something in the ashlands

[oblique fern]

I just meant for areas with lots of entities. Been wanting to do a larger build soon but was unsure.

Our main base is massive atm and we get lag there but can decrease it when we harvest crops

[fair charm]

the more changes you make to the surrounding area, of any type, the more laggy it is

[unique mason]

i made the wolf chest peice does it give as much frost resist as the wolf cape?

[blissful stream]

ashlands are such a combat slog

[plush umbra]

yea, all frost resistance is 50%, and none of them stack. so mead + cape + chestpiece is the same as having only one of the three

[unique mason]

awesome thank you

[tight yacht]

do axe skills improve tree chopping in any way?

[fair charm]

No the woodcutting skill improves that

[plush umbra]

Fuck I am having no luck finding an ashlands castle

[chrome orbit]

woot, got a Morgen Trophy. That took longer than expected (I played quite a bit on the PTB)

[tight yacht]

does axe skill do anything to tangentially increase wood cutting ability like make your swing faster or take less stamina per swing?

[chrome orbit]

More damage per swing for sure

[tight yacht]

whats the difference in tree cutting ability between axe skills and woodcutting specifically

[fair charm]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Wood_cutting_(Skill)
Per this, cost to swing is governed by axe skill, damage per swing is from woodcutting

[tight yacht]

ah nice, so there is some benefit to leveling axes

[plush umbra]

how tf do i access the charred fortress

[tight yacht]

do you level axes by chopping wood, or is that only in combat

[odd helm]

Woodcutting skill for chopping wood, Axes skill for combat

[jagged marsh]

Has anyone had issues with lag in the ashlands? When the game saves it typically freezes for a second but this freeze effect is happening frequently in the Ashlands. Any suggestion to fix it?

[woven magnet]

Does anyone know how to craft frostner in ashlands update? Ymir's flesh are not in the trader

[tepid prawn]

should be in the trader if you killed the right boss to enable it (Elder has to be dead in that world to enable ymir flesh to be sold by Haldor)

[fair charm]

Multi or single player?

[woven magnet]

ohhh right.. thanks!!

[jagged marsh]

multiplayer, dedicated server

I haven't tested single player yet

[fair charm]

If it's multiplayer check if it happens with only one player in the ashlands

[jagged marsh]

It does

[fair charm]

Check task manager and see if one of your CPU cores or your GPU is at 100% utilisation

[jagged marsh]

I am using gportal for the dedicated server, so it's the server host lagging?

It only happens in the ashlands, the freeze effect is so bad, it freezes every 5-6 seconds and then it's fine for a bit

[fair charm]

Valheim server hosting is weird, most of it is handled by the client

[jagged marsh]

I don't have issues anywhere else, when ashlands released, only the ashlands are glitchy and laggy

So maybe it's just because the new update needs some tweaks?

[fair charm]

Could be, I'm hosting it on my own and on my machine it's not using much inn the way of resources

[jagged marsh]

the CPU for the gportal isn't either but then again, this was not an issue with gportal. They are pretty good and since I am in Az, I chose their nearest server in LA

So the MS connection is really good, we can have 4-5 players with little lag but solo in the ashlands is really bad right now haha I died four times because I was lagging every 5-6 seconds

[fair charm]

Check single player in the ashlands, it might be just because ashlands is a laggy mess

[jagged marsh]

Could be, I will do that. Thank you!

[chrome orbit]

How rare are Charred Fortresses? They seem extremely rare on my seed

[idle storm]

~20 fortresses per world

[ionic iron]

I think max 20 per world?

[idle storm]

So not that rare considering the small size of Ashlands

They're usually towards the center of the biome though, not near the shores.

look for pillars of green light in the sky

[tight yacht]

how are daggers as primary weapons
any good?

[crisp ruin]

situational

[tight yacht]

based on what

[crisp ruin]

counts as pierce dmg, so yeah... good way to start your attack, I normally switch to something else to finish a fight

[tight yacht]

does pierce damage get bonus sneak attack damage?

[crisp ruin]

anything does, i think. so the dmg can be amazing if your target is weak to pierce

[fossil salmon]

Made my return to Valheim. Played Mistlands. Died 8 times. Success! Only 8 times.

[crisp ruin]

8 times so far*

[tight yacht]

bow probably better imo

ill leave off daggers for now i think...actually sneaking into melee range is pretty tedious too

[crisp ruin]

yeah probably

[tight yacht]

at least compared to just shooting something at range

[crisp ruin]

might be more geared towards pvp. hard to say as I haven't been able to experiment with that yet

[tight yacht]

oh hell yeah finewood bow and finally some copper weapons

now i can actually kill things fast

[nocturne wolf]

They're still good weapons without backstabbing

[opal prairie]

Morgen gjall.

[opal prairie]

Exactly, I'm enjoying them for now, good for hit and runs tactics and the 2nd attack leap does cover some distance, quite easy to merk deers with and greydwarfs.

[nocturne wolf]

The fast attack animations make them great for jumping around things like trolls and lox while still dealing constant damage

[tight yacht]

good point about attack speed

not getting hit is the best defense

[opal prairie]

I cheesed the finewood bow in meadows.
Break a birch tree by cutting down another tree close by and bumping that log into the birch tree till it breaks.
Keep bumping logs on the stump and the birch log for finewood or bump the birch log into other trees.
Look for a pine tree close to the edge of the black forest or one that is on a hill that leads down to meadows and cut it down once it is down roll it into the meadows and cut it up in peace or try your luck and cut it down in the blackforest.
If greydwarfs show up, high tail it out of there or fight them if you feel comfortable doing so.
Kill some deer for their hides and voila finewood bow in meadows stage.

[tight yacht]

too much work, i can just power through eikthyr and get copper pretty quick

i know i can cheese them with knocking over trees

same with cheesing copper with trolls

[opal prairie]

It isn't actually that much work, just find a birch tree with some trees around and cut those trees down, good chance they will take the birch tree with them and break it without going trough the bumping hassle.

That is how I discovered I could get finewood before I had the appropriate axe.

Same with the copper and troll, was mining some copper, troll showed up, I dodge and the troll hit the copper and boom there was copper on the ground.

[void ferry]

does anyone here have public server cuz ppl in lfg doesnt asnwer at all

[pulsar mortar]

Magic feels pretty weak, tried doing protection bubble and Gjall destroyed it with one hit, so using it against queen will be unwise

[west pulsar]

I had the opposite experience

Magic felt overpowered

[pulsar mortar]

It's live 3 level but I need practice for it, still I will use bow, bombs and good old frostner

[opal prairie]

It is weak at the start but it goes up really high with some levels in blood magic, also if you use the deadraiser and apply the shield to the skeletons they last a tad longer and create a good distraction to let you get away, take a better position or rain destruction down on the ones attacking you and your skeletons.
Also 1 hit extra you can take is always nice, plus with that bubble every parry just works, no matter how high your health is.

Now the staff of embers is good right of the bat and makes life so much easier certainly if you have the eitr weave and use 2 eitr food and either a stamina food for glass cannoning or a health food for a tad more survivability.

[fair cairn]

i should really start playing again but its just so sad now that my freind cant join me anymore 😦

[flat zealot]

hey, I wanted to ask which portal settings ya'll use, I a little bit indecisive when it comes to this because the immersion is great when I can't travel with metals but things can get tedious from time to time

[rain flare]

It’s like all skill sets in the game.
Terrible unless you put the time and effort into improving it.

Do you remember how unbelievably slow you first were when you started? 🤣

I made a new character recently and the contrast is shocking!

[opal prairie]

I do "no metal porting" but if I'm really not in the mood to sail all the way I'll world hop and go about it that way.

[opal prairie]

Did you enjoy my dm?

[tight yacht]

swords or maces?

or polearms i guess but those seem worse with no shield

[west pulsar]

Maces id say

But it depends

[rain flare]

Ooooooooh noooooooo 🤣

Do I want to open it…? 👀👀👀

[rain flare]

I go for axes - less resource investment for a decently effective weapon and tool

[tight yacht]

but getting the resources is half the fun lol

[rain flare]

Mace is good since you fight so many mobs that take bonus blunt damage

[west pulsar]

Axes lack a heavy attack they're better as a back-up

[rain flare]

Swords are faster than maces and have higher amounts of damage potential

[west pulsar]

They're decent but are specialized

[rain flare]

Polearms are amazing

[west pulsar]

More enemies are weak to maces and they stagger better

[west pulsar]

Pros and cons right

[tight yacht]

whats amazing about polearms

[west pulsar]

Aoe range piercing damage fast

Great 2h option

[tight yacht]

when i used spears last it was annoying to try to hit things

[west pulsar]

What tier are you in

[tight yacht]

unless polearms are different than spears

copper currently, and i tried up to iron on my last run

[west pulsar]

They are spears are ehhhh

Polearms are great

They're different yes very spears id say are the worst 1 hand option

Polearms are two hands and can do large aoe heavies they're crowd control weapons

[opal prairie]

Yes. :shiftyeyes:

[tight yacht]

so how should i be doing my weapons, pick one type and stick with it or try to level like 2-3 variants? im assuming bows are always leveled, im referring more to melee options

[west pulsar]

So what i do

Is i run a mace or sword as a main and i use an axe and a polearm as backups I'm using a sword atm but maces are better for swamps

Depends what im fighting

[tight yacht]

so you level 1 primary 1h + shield option (either mace or sword) and the polearm as a backup

do you stick with sword or mace throughout a run or swap those too?

[west pulsar]

Yea swamps are weak to blunt and spirit damage ie skeletons wraths draugr etc

[tight yacht]

ill probably stick with maces and bow then

[west pulsar]

Maces are better there but against idk say a troll id use a polearm

[tight yacht]

is polearm actually worth it

[west pulsar]

Depends on your Playstyle

[tight yacht]

its significantly better over a mace + shield or bow?

[west pulsar]

No its about the same with different pros and cons

[opal prairie]

I'm currently doing knives and bows with mace as backup, since mace is king in swamps and against the swamp boss, frostner is also a mace and stays a good weapon well into mistlands.
Once I can go mage I'll have a staff of embers as main together with the other staves and knives as backup.
I also always have an axe with me for trees and can also serve as backup in a pinch.

[west pulsar]

Frostner isnt really swamp tho

Just use an iron or bronze mace

[opal prairie]

That is indeed mountain tier.

[west pulsar]

Like its good but a bit late for a first timer

GREAT weapon tho

[opal prairie]

True.

[west pulsar]

Holds up still

[tight yacht]

flint or fire arrows? or both

[serene talon]

huh since when do hearths have snapping points

[pulsar mortar]

Fire till obsidian and mosquito

[opal prairie]

Wood arrows for deer, birds and puny greylings and other weak things.
Fire arrows for the rest.
That is how I roll till I can get my hands on obsidian and frost arrows in the mountains and needle arrows in the plains.
Flint arrows do a bit more damage than fire but they are all pierce damage and are harder to get mats for than for the fire arrows.

[pulsar mortar]

Bug arrows for the queen might be interesting, going to try it this evening

[tight yacht]

arent the mats for all the arrows basically the same

at least the early ones are all 8 wood, 2 feathers, and either flint or resin

[opal prairie]

Yes, but resin gets brought to you, greylings and greydwarfs will annoy you non stop till you get tired by it and if you kill them they drop resin.
Cutting trees can also give you resin.
For flint you need to find water and run around picking flint up.

A bird drops 3 feathers, so shooting a bird with a fire arrow uses 2 feathers and only yields 1 and that is if you hit.
So shooting a bird with a wooden arrow gives you 3 feathers and missing isn't a big deal, just go cut some more wood.

[tight yacht]

oh damn i didnt realize wood arrows didnt take feathers

thats pretty good for only 5 less pierce damage

[opal prairie]

Yeah, in the beginning till I have a chicken farm I always carry around a stack with me and shoot most things with it and only switch to fire arrows for brutes, shamans and trolls if I feel like it.
Same in the swamp, I'll sneak around and plink everything with a bow and wooden arrows, most things get insta killed or seriously wounded because of the extra sneak damage.
If I get into a fight with multiple mobs or a stronger mob I'll change to fire arrows or flint since swamp mobs in water don't burn that well.
I have arrows in my quick bar to easily change the arrows I'm using.

[tight yacht]

archery seems so strong in this game

[pulsar mortar]

It's great, combine with crossbow as first attack and it can work wonders

[topaz furnace]

Hi guys! Just thinking about getting the game in Steam. How is the experience in the Steam Deck? Thanks a lot!

[crude tartan]

Does anyone know how to get the server to work ? I am not able to start a server and the game crashed every single time i am trying to boot it up

[pulsar mortar]

Check file integrity

[opal prairie]

It is till you come across mobs with pierce resistance.

[crude tartan]

Already did

[opal prairie]

#valheim-help Using mods?

[crude tartan]

nope literally just got it

[opal prairie]

Let's continue this in #valheim-help

[tiny tiger]

I am still yet to fish in this game and yet I have 5 fish in my possession lol

They just seem to spawn outside my base from time to time, trollfish and pikes

[opal prairie]

They jump out of the water or get washed ashore with a storm, quite normal behavior for valheim fish.

[tiny tiger]

Have you found any weird grid patterns in your plains biomes? Mine seem to be full of them

[fair charm]

Is yours a fresh world or a pre ashlands world? Because if it's a pre ashlands world seems to be something to do with the updated world

[tiny tiger]

I made it during the PTB

Or actually it might have been just before I updated to PTB

[native cliff]

sorry, is it just me or am I jumping much higher than before the update or am I imagining it?

[idle storm]

are you waering the feather cape? It grants a jump bonus now.

[native cliff]

oh, you're right

thx

[merry sun]

Recently started a new world to progress with friends untill ashlands, and i noticed how i miss the jump skill. I mean, in my main character i got 89 and in my new one only 41

[rain flare]

@tight yacht @west pulsar , all weapon types can be good, but they do have distinct play styles that you need to take into account.

Example:
Spears are a fast weapon, with VERY short reach on your attacks.

However: they are extremely cheap to make/upgrade, hit faster than anything other than knives, and have a beast of a throw attack which will absolutely murder mobs when you hit them with it.

Of course, you have to actually hit the little bastards 😂
People just don’t like the playstyle tbh, but the guy with the fastest record for beating Valheim in the Trials of Tyr challenge was using spears the whole way through

[merry sun]

Spears ingame are holded in the wrong way

[paper marsh]

Spears also level up faster than any other melee weapon, and the short reach means you’re not accidentally splitting your damage between an enemy and a wall when you’re in a dungeon or just nearby environmental objects

[rain flare]

That being said, you also have a hard time fighting on uneven terrain cause you only do damage to things in a tiny space in front of you 😂

Pro’s and Con’s as the bread man said 🥖

[serene wyvern]

anyone know if multiple players on the same server can legitimately get Dyrnwyn?

[rain flare]

No 😭

[paper marsh]

Yea it’s hard to hit things below you especially. In crypts spears just can’t hit body piles

Unless you throw it, in which case it does great on inclines and such

[merry sun]

I still preffer the 3 attack combo, and we got other better weapons to Pierce damage anyway since im not doing tryal of tyr

Atgeir early game is such an OP option in multiplayer

[tiny tiger]

Finally beat yagluth

So close to Ashlands now just one more boss

[pliant hatch]

Close?

The game just begins in Mistland.

[rain flare]

@serene talon WHAT HAS YOU DONE?!? 😭😭😭

That abomination in fan art is a crime against my sanity!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[frail roost]

Only one per server

[rain flare]

Now all we need is someone to mod that horror into the game with it’s own even 😂

[frail roost]

Also, there aren't enough gems for multiple people to own every variety of weapon

[tiny tiger]

Haha I’ve been getting that feeling every new biome ‘now the real challenge begins’

[turbid pollen]

Only a few can spawn?

[pulsar mortar]

Nah, "Ican'tseeshitlands" are totally different

[tiny tiger]

I’m scared I’m gonna get lost

I’m in immersive so I think my plan is just a shitload of wisp torches

[frail roost]

Each fortress only has a small handful of gems per fortress, and its entirely based on luck whether or not you get the gem you're hunting for. If you're playing with 3-4 people, competition for those gems will be fierce

[weary ridge]

Oh god good luck

[severe python]

hi I am looking for someone to start a duo adventure I am French

[weary ridge]

Try #1024264966712340510

[idle storm]

Also fortress chests can spawn flametal ore INSTEAD of gems, so you may have fortresses where you get none at all.

[paper marsh]

OP in general

[sleek panther]

How do you walk on lava on ash

[paper marsh]

I don't think it's an "instead". It's just that the chests can give gems and flammetal, but it's not guaranteed that it will have gems (not sure if flammetal is guaranteed either)

[paper marsh]

To cross lava you can saddle up on a tamed Askvin, or use basalt bombs

[opal prairie]

Either build over it with basalt bombs or train an askvin to ride on.

[tiny tiger]

It has to come to my knowledge that wisp torches do buttfuck nothing to clear the mist

[paper marsh]

lies

[sleek panther]

How do you tame the askvin

[paper marsh]

Same as you tame other animals. I believe you can use any of the ashlands veggies|| (vineberries, fiddleheads, smokepuffs)||

[fair charm]

They clear a 4m or so radius in the mist
Maybe a bit more
But they only work in the mistlands, regular fog is too strong for the wisp

[paper marsh]

Thing about wisp torches is you can spam them to clear a whole area of mist. Very useful for ||the boss fight|| as well

[frail roost]

This is a bit harder in Ashlands, however, since like other tamed animals you must remain nearby but out of sight to finish taming, and Ashlands will want to throw mobs at you constantly unless you cheese the spawners with campfires everywhere

[opal prairie]

Dig a hole, floor over it, lure askvin on top and break floor so askvin drops into the hole or make a sturdy enclosure, lure the askvin in.
Throw in ashland food stuff like ||smokeberries||.
Run out of aggro range and sneak closer so the askvin doesn't hear nor see you and sit tight and wait for it to get tamed.

[paper marsh]

yea I mean I'd assume people would just go find one and lure it back to their base and tame it there while they do stuff

I guess some people won't set up a base though

[opal prairie]

Why bring the askvin to the base if you can bring the base to the askvin?
That is what I did when I found a 2 star boar.

[paper marsh]

that's possible too

[frail roost]

I just generally built very barebones bases in Ashlands, since the stone portal allows you to build most everything safely in another biome

[paper marsh]

safety schmaefty

[serene talon]

good luck sleeping tonight...

[paper marsh]

Also I love the drawing shy ❤️

[opal prairie]

I'll probably do the same, raise ground for a small base that is just a portal, some chests to gather stuff in and have some food there as well and maybe a bed.

[paper marsh]

I want a pair of those night eye shades with that drawing printed on so i can see it as i go to bed

[opal prairie]

Did you enjoy the dm? Disaster girl smirk

[opal prairie]

Love the drawing and dmed it to sildarflame.

I would love to put ptsd under the drawing but the p and the s are already there ^^

[serene talon]

still dont know what LBSPD is supposed to mean

[near furnace]

Left Back Stop Play Distraction

[low bridge]

Are the constent waves of stuff from the ashlands normal

like im getting waves of all the mobs

[arctic hemlock]

Hi guys! my drakkar just went belly up. any suggestions?

[merry sun]

make another

[serene talon]

probably retake your boat driving lessons

[merry sun]

ye it is

[opal prairie]

How did it happen? Sailing, bopped something and it turned over?
Went trough a portal and came back to an overturned boat?
...

[sleek panther]

Doing that does it usually take alot of time

[arctic hemlock]

sailing through ashlads. ocean weaved me on spiky rock. First it was sailing on a side then totally turn over :c

[paper marsh]

Takes at least 30 min to tame once it starts taming

[sleek panther]

Damn

[wide zenith]

Can i make glowing signs rn?

'case even white i can't see shit

[merry sun]

Asksvin is the best tame you can have now

[paper marsh]

Agreed

[serene talon]

sadly no

[opal prairie]

Taming always requires 600 successful ticks (30 minutes). When taming is finished, a message is shown on the screen.
So if you can stay close and not spook the askvin it should be done in 30 minutes.

[paper marsh]

Not because Askvins are amazing, but because the other options are pretty mid imo.

And Askvins aren't bad

[merry sun]

Faster than Lox, Stronger than Wolves. And their drope are very useful

[paper marsh]

Can walk on lava

[opal prairie]

Did they turn off the formatting in signs?

[paper marsh]

They definitely did nerf some formatting on signs once upon a time

[wide zenith]

Just why lol

[paper marsh]

idk, performance or visual style I think

[serene talon]

you can still change color and stuff but they removed the glow if i remember correctly

[opal prairie]

If you can build nearby you can sometimes build a beam at the surface and then push from the other side till it flips back over, else try and get something under the boat where the mats are likely to drop and destroy the boat and hope you can grab all the materials before they sink.

[wide zenith]

Doesn't make any sense, due to formatting being kinda hidden thing

I still can't see shit at night also because default lamps not bright enough

[opal prairie]

No more dark storage areas where you can clearly see the signs.

Yea I think there was a lot of disapproval. I don't get it either

[merry sun]

I lost like 300 Iron nails bc of sinking

[wide zenith]

Jump into water if it's not too deep

[serene talon]

relatable

[fair cairn]

iron nails can be teleported cant they?

[wide zenith]

Yup

[merry sun]

and i losting 30-45 Flametals bc of lavaiathns sinking 😭

[wide zenith]

Lmao

[fair cairn]

are you playing with no portals?

[merry sun]

I Destroyed the boat but nails seems to sink faster than other resources

[paper marsh]

Can't lose what you never had 😎

[merry sun]

And everyone playing solo lose some Flametals bc of Lavaiathans

[arctic hemlock]

I posted my screenshot on #screenshots . Dont think there is buildable surface beneath it😭 . But anyway thanks for reply

[merry sun]

🗣️

[mossy river]

I should hire myself to people who can't find serpents

[serene talon]

not with speed

[wide zenith]

Btw asksvin cape good, but i died from falling 2 mins after

[merry sun]

I start minning from the top am i doing right?

[wide zenith]

At my own fucking base in BF

[merry sun]

lol

when in not in combat i just change to feathers

[paper marsh]

solo it's not too bad because there should be enough flammetal in Ashlands for you though. Multiplayer is where you need to make sure you're optimizing your gains

[wide zenith]

Yea i think about that, but what irritates me - inventory in game

[serene talon]

i always mine each segment from the side, never the one im standing on, starting from the top

[wide zenith]

I don't have free slots for all shit i wanna carry around

[merry sun]

Im using Queen's Forsaken Power everytine i went to flametal veins

Blackmetal pickaxe lvl 4 and Feathers cape

[paper marsh]

Same, oneshotting the veins feels good

[wide zenith]

optimizing = farming whole biome as madman

[merry sun]

btw only 32 minning skill

[paper marsh]

Ah prob not oneshotting then

[sleek panther]

Is there a way we can make it faster

[paper marsh]

With cheats (devcommands)

[sleek panther]

Which commands

[wide zenith]

tame

[paper marsh]

I am not sure. Think there's some to speed up time.

But also you could probably just spawn in a tamed askvin or something. Look it up

[opal prairie]

Can you build from what you are standing on towards it? If so you might be able to get behind it and push it towards what you are standing on and maybe turn it over like that, else jump on the boat and stand at the middle, chop down with an axe and hope you get all the mats.

[low bridge]

can you parry Charred Warrior

[wide zenith]

Yup

[sleek panther]

How do you ride it ive tamed it

[merry sun]

"tame" insta tame any tameable creatures arond you

[serene talon]

need a saddle

[wide zenith]

Make a saddle

[merry sun]

Asksvin Saddle

[low bridge]

how hard is it

[merry sun]

Ok that guy is receiving too much attention i will stop replying him

[wide zenith]

Actually pretty easy
You can spam RMB if you play with skoll and hati, dunno about shield

[low bridge]

ok thank you

[merry sun]

Kinda Easy, you will just need get in time, the Feint attack is kinda annoying in hordes

[wide zenith]

I still can't build base at Ashlands, 2 raids and it's just unstoppable fights

[merry sun]

Carapace Buckler still on top with 90 x 2,5 parry bonus

[sleek panther]

You cant attack while riding the asksvin right

[wide zenith]

Bucklers always will be on top
I just like playing with skoll and hati

[paper marsh]

Nope

[merry sun]

even lvl 3 flametal round Shield cant unthrone him

[paper marsh]

I lowered my difficulty to Hard and I'm hoping I can use more flesh rippers, skoll and hati, and ||berserker axes|| for parrying now. Love dual wielding.

[wide zenith]

Hm? lvl 3?
They didn't add new improvement for black forge?
