valheim-chat

[paper marsh]

Might have to make sure I keep decent block skill too though

[merry sun]

Sadly no new daggers, imagine enchanted Lightning in any dagger

[paper marsh]

They added two. Explore the Ashlands!

[wide zenith]

BROTHEEEER
I love dual wielding too

[paper marsh]

bruh imagine enchanted blood backstabs

[wide zenith]

Damn i want this 😭

[serene talon]

first biome without daggers i guess

[wide zenith]

Oh, okay, Renato spook me for a second

[merry sun]

Lightning Berserkir Axes are very strong against morgens

[wide zenith]

Well Plains didn't had bow, so..

[serene talon]

mistlands sadly didnt have club

[wide zenith]

And Mountain didn't had axe

[merry sun]

???? Crystal Axe

[serene talon]

the crystal battleaxe

[wide zenith]

Yea, some biomes don't have some weapon

[wide zenith]

I mean regular axe, not the big one

[sleek panther]

How do you get the tamed animals to follow you btw

[merry sun]

Sadly Himmin Afl isnt that good now that many weapons got Lightning Enchantment

[merry pebble]

only wolfs will follow you unfortunately

[serene talon]

its still good in mistlands

[paper marsh]

Only weapon that's in all biomes I think is axe?

excluding Ocean ofc

[wide zenith]

Sword

[serene talon]

if you count two handed yeah

[paper marsh]

No sword in meadows

[merry sun]

Mistlands weapons are just better than non enchanted Ashlands weapons

[wide zenith]

Damn

[shy marlin]

Just not true 💀

[paper marsh]

I do wish we'd have gotten a sword skip in Ashlands though. Too common and powerful a weapon imo

[paper marsh]

I agree 1857.12%

[serene talon]

Im happy that we have club Again

[azure yacht]

No axe in mountains

[wide zenith]

I already said that 😭

[paper marsh]

crystal battleaxe

[serene talon]

if you dont count two handed that is

[azure yacht]

If you want to go technical...

[opal prairie]

Some animals like the wolf can be commanded to follow you just interact with them.
Lox and askvin need a saddle and you can ride them around.
Boar and chicken need to be pushed or pulled along with the harpoon.
For the chicken you could just get eggs and hatch them where you want chickens.

[paper marsh]

If you don't count two handed then I guess there's no axes in Mountains and Ashlands yea

[merry sun]

130+ raw Damage +10 Lightning + Lightning proc

[wide zenith]

I forgor what lightning do lol
Remind me

[serene talon]

the new axes are fine but the big two hand axes are not worth in my opinion

[paper marsh]

Don't feel it's too technical. Main use of a weapon category is to use that waepon for damage dealing. Having used axes in meadows/bf/swamp sets you up for nice damage on a battleaxe in Mountains

[shy marlin]

And himmin afl can literally still stagger anything in the Ashlands even on Very hard, you don’t bring atgeirs for damage, you bring them for control and stagger potential.

[serene talon]

damage

[wide zenith]

DoT?

[merry sun]

and stagger

[paper marsh]

It's not really about the damage numbers, it's about atgeirs being OP and even blackmetal atgeir woudl prob do well in Ashlands. Himmin Afl does amazing, especially because it also has lightning which is a powerful element

[paper marsh]

No just straight up damage. ||Lightning enchantment also has a chance for lightning to spark off the enemy and hit another nearby enemy ||

[wide zenith]

Riiight, that's why it was so god

[shy marlin]

Bronze atgeir cooks seekers that’s how strong the atgeir is

[wide zenith]

Kinda was waiting for Cars reference in spoiler xDDDD

[merry sun]

Not that well since many ashlands Enemies got resistance to pierce

[shy marlin]

Irrelevant

Atgeir special has a 6x stagger ratio, means you can stagger literally anything pretty much

[paper marsh]

Lightning damage ||summons Lightning McQueen to do hit and runs on your foes||

[wide zenith]

I laughed harder than i should

[azure yacht]

Increased stagger dmg from secondary and even higher stagger dmg due to lightning

[merry sun]

Eh, i dont knew about that, probably starting using Himmin Afl again

[azure yacht]

And the lightning is duration-based, meaning that the extra stagger can still trigger

[paper marsh]

Well lightning isn't a higher multiplier of stagger damage is it? Just same amount of stagger as physical damage?

Ah I see talking about the enchantment not himmin afl anymore

[merry sun]

So what Mistlands Gear i can level UP? I already did to Mistwalker and Spinesnap

[serene talon]

WHYY did they add a noise that the shield generator always makes even when its fully charged

[paper marsh]

Mistwalker and Himmin Afl do very well in Ashlands

All the magic items do too

[merry pebble]

all of it iirc

[shy marlin]

Arbalest

[paper marsh]

I really need to start doing more sneaking. It seems like a fun playstyle. And now that I'm not using bows I imagine it'll be even more fun going in with knives or demolishing with an arbalest

[merry sun]

My arbalest skill is like 5

[merry sun]

Sneaking skill also decrease your passive visibility

[drowsy sorrel]

looking through the wiki, it seems the best dagger can be made in plains? Is the wiki missing something or do you really get no new weapon for the last 2 areas?

[serene talon]

theres skoll and hati in mistlands

[azure yacht]

None in ashlands

[drowsy sorrel]

you done need mistlands for that tho?

oh nvm its for the crafting table

[azure yacht]

Needs earlier materials but crafted at black forge

[merry sun]

I mean, i dont crafted any daggers in my entire solo gameplay, dont miss it

[drowsy sorrel]

you know people can have a playstyle right?

[merry sun]

Ik, but isnt necessary

[drowsy sorrel]

...

so you dont understand what i meant

[merry sun]

probably the only one you really need the entire game are bows and swords

[drowsy sorrel]

quite dense

[wide zenith]

I play with daggers and bow, in current game

[merry sun]

this is kinda sad tbh, i like clubs very much

[drowsy sorrel]

same

[paper marsh]

Really? I didn't know that. Thought it only applied while sneaking

[drowsy sorrel]

are the magic staffs viable end game?

[merry sun]

daggers are just mini swords with a really good backstab and no speed debuff

[wide zenith]

Okay?

[paper marsh]

They're the best weapons end game

[merry sun]

Oh wow and how are they!

[mossy river]

Does tar affect Yagluth? A tar pit is actually eating into one of his pillars

[merry sun]

Staff of the wild and trollstav are gamebreaking

[azure yacht]

And they're literally found at endgame.

An endgame weapon not being viable at endgame seems contradictory

[tepid prawn]

You don’t need any specific weapon, you can use one or many

[paper marsh]

Good question. Water does, but dunno how he feels about tar when being resistant to fire and being a boss so idk how he feels about being slowed. If I remember right frost doesn't slow him

[merry sun]

I carry many weapons, but that one i really use is sword. Idk if its their consistance or im just a normie

[azure yacht]

Limiting yourself to specific weapons is a bad idea. The only reason you would do that if for some challenge run

[wide zenith]

If you play with 2-3 weapons - you have higher skill = higher dmg

[merry sun]

I got high levels on Swords mainly, Atgeirs and Clubs

[paper marsh]

I'm trying to use a lot of different weapons on my current run. So far in Swamp and got some good use out of knife/spear/mace/fists/axes

[azure yacht]

Resistances neglect the increased dmg a lot

[wide zenith]

Also high skill for bows very useful

[merry sun]

but id want to level UP axes to use B-axes

[drowsy sorrel]

but it doesnt seem that way to me? You can get all the required mats on intro to mistlands? Most of the weapons I consider "end game" in most games is post second to last boss

[merry sun]

Yea its quite op

[foggy glacier]

I usually stick to clubs until I hit plains, then I start leveling the others

[paper marsh]

Mistlands is currently the second last biome

Nevermind reread that statement and I get it

[wide zenith]

I usually give a zf about them and tank throu it

[azure yacht]

Game stages here are based on biomes

Mistlands and ashlands are endgame

[drowsy sorrel]

i get that, but like, you can basically have it for the entire 2 last biomes

[wide zenith]

2 whole biomes endgame rn

[drowsy sorrel]

you dont need to fight a single mob in mistlands, or the boss, for the required mats

[paper marsh]

Valheim does a pretty decent job of keeping early weapons viable later on, whether you like that or not

Frostner does great in Mistlands

Mistlands weapons destroy in Ashlands (a lot of them are actually better / just as good as the Ashlands weapons 💀 )

[azure yacht]

Bloodclots are dropped from ticks, and protection staff needs them

[drowsy sorrel]

if the devs want to lump them together thats fine i guess, im used to different biomes or worlds being distinctly harder, I.e. only the last biome is end game

[wide zenith]

Btw Miskwalker should be strong af in Ashlands

[merry pebble]

it is

[merry sun]

AND IT IS thats why i only crafted B-axes as weapons

[wide zenith]

Well when you go to Mistland from Plains it's kinda hard, and it will be harder when you go to Ashlands

[drowsy sorrel]

in that case its fine, I just was a little concerned that there are not many new weapons for some classes post plains

[drowsy sorrel]

i mean obv there will be a jump, but typically only the final zone is end game

[wide zenith]

Doesn't neglect the fact, that those 2 biomes are end game

[wide zenith]

People here talking about current stage of development

[merry sun]

Mistwalker, Demolisher, Skoll and Hati, Spinesnap, Arbalest, Jotun Banne, Staves

[drowsy sorrel]

is ash not completed?

[azure yacht]

Arguably...

[wide zenith]

We will get deep north after ash

[merry sun]

It is but the black forge upgrades will be made at Deep North

[drowsy sorrel]

ok, ignoring the changing definition of "end game" I was just talking about explicitly ash lands when asking for viable weapons

[merry sun]

all weapons in Ashlands are viable

[wide zenith]

No one ignoring it, that's just how it is
Not long time ago Plains were endgame, but overall they are midgame

[paper marsh]

Really? I feel like Mistlands and Ashlands gives a lot of unique options

[azure yacht]

arguably...

[merry sun]

Mistlands --> Ashlands --> Deep North
Endgame progression

[azure yacht]

Remember when fulings were the strongest mobs in the game? Fun times 😌

staggers and destroys a 2-star fuling

[wide zenith]

Remember crazy oneshots from squitos? 😭

[drowsy sorrel]

not for what i wanted (daggers) I didnt check every weapon ever, i just noticed the daggers end in plains and popped in to ask

(i know there is technically a mistlands dagger but point stands)

[azure yacht]

Now they devolved to mosquitos

[smoky quarry]

when you 1st find fields and mesmerized, you think the mosquito sound is background noise

[drowsy sorrel]

i meant ignore it for the sake of understanding what i meant. I dont care how you classify end game, i was using it to convey a point and clearly it was the wrong phrase

[paper marsh]

Yea I was bummed about no Ashlands dagger too. I don't think that that's Ashlands having less choices than Plains though, I think that's just Ashlands not having the one choice you want.

If you were a spear or bow player you'd probably think Plains was more limiting than Ashlands, for example

[wide zenith]

I thought at first they are some kinda passive mob, or will deal small damage, then was obliterated

[drowsy sorrel]

fair enough, i just kind of expected a standardized weapon progrssion for base weapons

[wide zenith]

I got your point and i forgor what what the question

[drowsy sorrel]

lol, dont mind

[wide zenith]

xDD
sry mate

[drowsy sorrel]

ty all tho, good to be reasured i wont feel totaly underpowered if i stick to only dagger, and that there are some cool new options

[smoky quarry]

i`ma open a bread & sausage stand

[paper marsh]

Yea devs are very much against that. Other than axes all the weapons tend to just be missing in 1 or more biomes, forcing you to diversify your playstyle

[drowsy sorrel]

😦

[paper marsh]

I have a feeling deep north will have all weapons since it's the last biome, but we'll see

[smoky quarry]

i wouldn`t go with a dagger in ashlands kek, aoe is the meta

[paper marsh]

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if some weapons like fists were still left out but still hoping for them

[wide zenith]

Gimme that crystal frostaxe Kratos carry around 😤

[wide zenith]

They are fine

[azure yacht]

thoughts go to the mad gal in the animated trailer killing charred with skoll and hati

[paper marsh]

absolute madladgal

[wide zenith]

Damn i want whole series

[serene talon]

lets not forget the battering ram pusher, it looks like he didnt even bring a weapon

[azure yacht]

Only one single pair of fist weapons in the entire current game feels very wrong...

I perfectly agree with the biome weapon gaps, but this one I cannot. Even just one more would've been acceptable

[wide zenith]

Still waiting for bronze knuckles

[serene talon]

dang that would be cool

[paper marsh]

I really like the fist playstyle of a 2 hit combo

[foggy glacier]

If you think about it, every set of heavy armour should improve fist damage

[wide zenith]

nah

[paper marsh]

nah

[azure yacht]

nah

[old kite]

was the drakkar speed increased?

[smoky quarry]

didn`t you get the 70hp boat engine upgrade yet?

[lunar ember]

happy birthday to all the norwegians !!

håper derre spiser masse is og har en fin dag!

[paper marsh]

Happy Constitution Day!

[rain flare]

Sent it to the wrong Sildarflame 😂
Don’t have it 😋

Ooooh no I see it was blocked under a dm request still 😂

LoL 😆

[opal prairie]

So you got it, sleep tight and don't let the morgen gjall get you. Would that be morgjall for short?

[serene talon]

i would rather call it the ABEND

[delicate oar]

whats the dedicated server update? whats fixxed

[serene talon]

Mjall i guess

lol wtf

i was doing freefly shots for my build and a skeleton walked through the open door and now stands next to me lol

[opal prairie]

Meaning?

[opal prairie]

Say hello to your new skinny friend.

[serene talon]

well Morgen is in german for morning, and Abend is for evening

so its kinda just wordplay

[opal prairie]

The abend gives Silderflame nightmares ^^

[serene talon]

i myself wonder how i managed to draw that without getting scared of it myself

[tired river]

are only my Boneserpents beach addicts? The Beaches feel like a ''do it your self'' bucher's store for unique fishy meats

[azure yacht]

Bonemaws just follow the exact same behaviour all hostile creatures follow.

You make sound, they approach source of sound

[paper marsh]

But bonemaws can spawn close to the coast and have high spawn rates

[high moat]

I have a lot of shoreline bonemaws too. At least it makes it easy to get their trophies.

[paper marsh]

I wish bonemaws were stronger. They drop like flies once you splash a bit of damage in their direction

[silk arrow]

Hi all! I already set up a server on my macos a while back with the lloesche/valheim-server docker server and successfully connected to it from valheim. I'm doing it again for a new server, and I can't get it to show up in-game. When I check https://geekstrom.de/valheim/check/ it shows it's up and visible. I don't remember if there's another step I have to take to get it to show up in game. I can also find it on steam when searching by the ip address.

[opal prairie]

#dedicated-server or #valheim-help would be the proper channel for that, I'm sorry I can't help you more than pointing you at the best place to get help with your problem

[turbid pollen]

Does anyone else prefer to portal metals or do you think it ruins the game? I played with that vanilla restriction for like 70+ hours? And then decided to allow myself to bring anything with me through the portal. I think the one thing that made me change the settings is because I wanted to build something far away but didn't have the materials such as iron for the stone cutter, etc.

[azure yacht]

Reach ashlands

[warm sandal]

I played for 1000 with no metal thru portals and 800 with portaling metals... I just decided that i do not have the time to spare as I am working fulltime, i'd rather use the time to explore more 😄 but really it is up to anybody to decide...you do you and do not let anybody tell you how you should play:D

[opal prairie]

Most of the time I don't portal metals and take a different route back to base with the metals so I explore more but sometimes I don't feel like it and will use the world hop trick.

[turbid pollen]

I know, I just found it so easy because before I had to haul iron to my boat but now I literally just slap a portal down right at the entrance of a crypt and then go through as soon as I'm done.

[warm sandal]

same do I and then go exploring more swamp and killing more mobs and gaining more skills 😄

[turbid pollen]

Just curious if I'm missing out on anything by doing this when the developers intended to do so.

[azure yacht]

Literally everything regarding that slider is irrelevant now considering the existence of stone portals.

Also, no one cares about how you play YOUR game, so idk what's the objective gained from asking whether it feels cheaty or not. It doesn't affect anyone else but yourself

[turbid pollen]

After I finish my first playthrough, I might try out an immersive one.

[warm sandal]

I do not think either way you miss out on anything... it is a matter of preferance... it might be fun going on a long boat trip with friends and chatting while sailing, it is boring to do it all alone... and it is time consuming too... so i changed it 😄 good we have that option and can decide for ourselves otherwise i do play vanilla, no mods no nuffin 😄 me like it that way 😄

[warm sandal]

how very brave of you... i get lost all the time WITH a map... i don't think i could make it without 😄 would never find my boat or home again 😄

[turbid pollen]

it is boring to do it all alone... and it is time consuming too...
I agree.

Especially since I have a job and don't have the time I used to have except for rest days of course.

[iron field]

hey for the ashlands weapons enchantment are you supposed to enchant first and then upgrade or does upgrade persist even after enchanting it?

[azure yacht]

Upgrades are lost when enchanting

Don't upgrade a weapon you want to enchant

[warm sandal]

let me tell you what I am doing right now: I am procrastinating defeating yag like nothing good. I have been to 5 different places to find plains with mistland borders and interesting landscape to build the next base and exploring entire continents that way ... and the only reason for doing it... i have to go and defeat the monster skellie next 😛

[turbid pollen]

Just think of the enchanted weapon as another type of weapon but its recipe requires the weapon you want to enchant.

[iron field]

ty all

[lucid quartz]

say, is it a common occurrence to encounter 2 different seeds with exact same islands, just moved a bit?

[turbid pollen]

Huh, that is barely possible, it has a very low chance.

[lunar sapphire]

Iirc island formations are recycled but usually with some distinct "random generation"

[lucid quartz]

so it's all just several layers of "noise" with random offsets

[long night]

Anyone knows how much years will it take for me to discover all of the map? 50? 80?

[frigid gust]

Kind of. Each world is part of a secton of a much larger (about 4x) "base" terrain setup, and then further transformations are applied to that cutout to place the different biomes and such, place bosses, etc.

[hearty quest]

was kinda disappointed with the forts

Wasn’t super hard and it’s just a square

[turbid pollen]

Ancient-Ingenuity-88 • 6mo ago

Nothing will compare to a fully loaded cart and karve seeing home render into view

Successful_Copy9373 • 6mo ago

I second that. Going on a adventure. Finding new islands and mining metals. Then coming back to your home base with victory music playing. That really enhances your gameplay experience.

I might go back to the restriction actually. Especially now that there is a type of portal that allows you to bring anything. Or is it too late? I'm like early-mid plains, I just need to search for fuling totems and I'll be fighting Yagluth.

[frigid gust]

The Mistlands is still a logistical puzzle without being able to teleport ores, specifically Blackmetal

[turbid pollen]

What about it?

[drowsy magnet]

yup, the forts are definitely not living up to the early concept art they showed us and I don't see them making any changes

[frigid gust]

Just in regards to your portal restriction comment, so you know what the tradeoffs are 😉

[drowsy magnet]

guess it up to us to build a better fortress in Ashlands, one that's not a square

[turbid pollen]

WithSilverStaind • 6mo ago

Having played both ways, I find that no metal through portals is great in multiplayer and ultimately boring/unnecessary in solo play for me. Having to sail more with friends to transport stuff home results in cool adventures together. Most of my sailing solo gets old quick unless I'm actively exploring a new area.

I wish I had friends to play with lol

[hearty quest]

I was rlly disappointed with the forts I was expecting like hallways and stuff but no

[turbid pollen]

I'll try playing with the restriction again and see if I like it. Anyway, I gotta take a bath and go straight to sleep now.

[leaden dock]

only played an hour in ashlands but so far it's amazing

[buoyant pagoda]

yeah, it is

Hola Ashlanders 😄

[pseudo yew]

Why valheim has 45k players whats new? We got some new stuff?

[buoyant pagoda]

just 45k?

and yes there is a lot of new stuff

[pseudo yew]

Whats new we got a new biome?

[buoyant pagoda]

Yea

[sterile summit]

Ashlands out, yes

[pseudo yew]

Like?

[buoyant pagoda]

new biome, new ship and many more

[pseudo yew]

Damn dawg
What an dedicated devs they are

[round lichen]

why'd they change how the map looks??

is there a way to change it back?

thanks for the update froop

[silk bough]

How’d it change?

[wicked snow]

Welp.... it seems the ashlands are tailor-made for the frostner, I mean half of the things are weak to blunt frost or spirit

[round lichen]

you dont notice it? plains are more green and everything is less textured

[silk bough]

??? I didn’t notice to much. Have you tried restarting your game or checking if your graphical settings are changed? I know sometimes I get a glitch where I start up the game and everything becomes very low textured and the lighting is messed up.

[round lichen]

no no the game is fine just the map is different. you dont see a change??

[silk bough]

I’ll have to check when I get back in but I didn’t notice anything to significant

[wicked snow]

Am I the only one who seems confused at the concept that the top weapon of ash is a fire sword?

[round lichen]

makes sense to me

[half dragon]

frostner is also a weapon from mountains

[wicked snow]

when you put it like that it makes more sense

[silk bough]

It’s a biome filled with lava and fire kinda makes sense that the weapon you get from it would be in fire. But maybe that’s just me

[round lichen]

oh also scrap piles in the dungeons dont require the inital hit to start breaking them anymore

[wicked snow]

I was wondering what's best for Ashlands as a weapon, it seems frostner is still good

[silk bough]

Nah reject weapons return to fists

[signal bloom]

is fire hazard setting supposed to be off by default?

[odd helm]

Yes

It's a optional setting that adds lots of difficulty to early game survival

[wicked snow]

is that what the shield thingie is for? to protect your base?

[odd helm]

Shield generator specifically blocks outside projectiles, be them environmental or from enemy attacks

[pliant hatch]

Meaning, when it's on, I have to add a new song to my Valheim playlist.
🎵 The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire 🎵

[odd helm]

Very useful in the Ashlands, obviously, but also adds some comfort defenses elsewhere

[signal bloom]

how does one turn on fire hazard in dedicated server then?

[round lichen]

ENTRAILS have a new look

[odd helm]

#dedicated-server probably has an answer for you

[signal bloom]

perhaps someone asked the other day but they got no answer 😦

in that channel

[half dragon]

sounds like it would make mistland base far more doable to fully protect it

[stark tartan]

Any cheap european hosting for dedics?

[paper marsh]

something like silver sword will prob be better in terms of damage for most scenarios, but the frost can be quite nice

[odd helm]

I would think Mistwalker has higher damage than the Frostner at this point, no?

[rain flare]

Frost is excellent

[paper marsh]

Think so yeah. Mistwalker is very good in Ashlands, arguably better than the ashlands swords

[rain flare]

Saved my butt too many times especially with the big lizards

[rain flare]

Frostner is great cause of slow and knockback

[paper marsh]

I haven't used frostner much before, but when I have the knockback always felt so annoying

[round lichen]

it fixed itself

[paper marsh]

tbh the best Ashlands weapon is friendly fire. Why bother killing the enemies, when you can just have a morg roll through them or a valkyrie burn them alive

[rain flare]

Friendly fire - ok my brain just shutdown for a second here 🤣

[next nest]

Hey everyone. Got a dilemma that I was hoping to get your help on.
Our friend group wants to start a new run for Ashlands, but for various reasons we cannot start from scratch.
Has anyone planned and tried out a method to run through the base game relatively quick so that Mistlands isn't locked behind many hours of playing?

[rain flare]

Meant to say crowd control

[silk bough]

Your map?

[round lichen]

yeah. mustve been a glitch

[turbid pollen]

Console xD

[paper marsh]

There's definitely ways to speed through. Could up resource rate and just go for each boss quickly.

Could also spawn in some items if you really just wanna skip to mistlands. Like could spawn all the materials you need from pre-mistlands, spawn materials to build a house, set skills to whatever you want them at, and then play from there

[rain flare]

Do you want to kill each boss separately?

Or just jump into mistlands?

[silk bough]

Dam not gonna say I told you so butttttt….

[turbid pollen]

I'm still mid-plains but should I start a new playthrough? First of all, I've been playing with no portal restrictions after the first 70+ hours (got 144 now) but now that there is a new update, should I?

[paper marsh]

I'd say keep going but up to you

New playthroughs are always fun though. I like to make new challenges for myself or use new world modifiers on each playthrough

[turbid pollen]

Yeah, I changed the portal setting mid-playthrough.

I did notice a lot of things such as just putting down portal at the entrance of a crypt rather than storing the ores in the boat and then going back for more.

[next nest]

So ideally (and this doesn't have to be set in stone), we'd like to keep the genie in the bottle so to speak, and avoid console. But, if there is literally no other way then we'll do it.
If we do end up going with console commands - I was thinking of doing something along the lines of planting chests full of copper/tin ore, and iron ore throughout the various regions. And then joining my friends with a fresh character on that map. That would, of course, mean that I don't get to explore the world with them "for the first time".

[paper marsh]

I recently started playing with a challenge where I can only build portals in bases/outposts, and I'm really enjoying it. Building a little functional outpost with some repair stations and storage and comfort when I brave a new biome is fun, and it stops me from just constantly plopping down a pocket portal which I find a bit boring

[paper marsh]

How about just 2-3x resource rate? Makes it very quick to mine metals and progress

Could even do no portal restriction too until mistlands

[turbid pollen]

And then lower it once you reach your goal?

[next nest]

can you turn that off when arriving at mistlands though?

[paper marsh]

Yes, you can change the world modifiers at any time

[next nest]

Just via console?

[paper marsh]

For a dedicated server I think changing them is slightly more complicated than solo, but it shouldn't be too hard

[turbid pollen]

So glad the devs put that in mind. Some games would allow you to change settings mid-playthrough but they'd just break the save or something.

[paper marsh]

Think you can do it through console, think there's another way too. Tbh I'd ask in #dedicated-server

[rain flare]

You can always do what I’m planning on doing with my friends someday

Build some basic tools and gear for each biome and keep it aside

Then as you beat each boss, bring your new toys over into your world

Crafting new gear is always the most expensive thing

[next nest]

Right that's a good idea.

[rain flare]

So you craft the lvl 1 item and if you’d like you can harvest extra goodies for new stuff

Also, it will save a HEL of allot of time with certain armor sets like fenris or root

[frigid gust]

I personally like setting the resource multiplier to 1.5x for solo play, it's a lot less of a grind but doesn't really feel like cheating levels of resources.

With a group and limited resources like fenris hair and such even 2x might be reasonable

[high temple]

So where can I find a co-op game for Valheim?

[frigid gust]

#1024264966712340510

Not that I know of, but you might check in #mods-discussion for that stuff. The main channels stick to the base game.

[tight yacht]

Damage gets split?

[maiden jewel]

Any suggestions for base location in Ashlands? I noticed that the shield goes down very fast at my current base which is next to a lava pit. Is there anything else that I should confider before investing the next ingame week for base building?
I don't want to tear it down just days later just because I failed to take into account something important lol

[frigid gust]

For most weapons except swords, damage gets split between all targets you hit. And that includes walls.

[rain flare]

Ocean stacks

[paper marsh]

Yea, when you attack multiple enemies at once (or even just if you hit a wall with your weapon) the damage gets split between everything you hit. So hitting a wall and a skeleton means you do half damage to the wall, half damage to the skeleton

A few weapons don't have this "cleave" penalty, and do full damage no matter how many enemies they hit (mainly swords, battle axes, atgeir secondary attack, and 2 handed hammers)

[shy marlin]

wait do the ashlands axes have cleave?

[rain flare]

No

Ashland axes are a jump attack like knives

[maiden jewel]

@rain flare sorry can you explain what you mean? english is not my first language

[half dragon]

I think hitting ground (that takes no damage) reducing damage to other things should be made illegal, it is just insane

[warm sandal]

i got a question...did something change to the drop of yagluth... it used to be 3 of the torn spirit

[rain flare]

100’s no worries ❤️

You know those spikes in the ocean around the Ashlands?
They make a great starter base

[half dragon]

for sure was... is it different now?

[rain flare]

No mobs attack you there - just the odd vulture

[warm sandal]

i only got 2 now ??? it might be a glitch and it is stuck under the pillar but before going there and hacking at it i wanna know

[rain flare]

Happened to me as well - boss drops just fallen out of sight

[maiden jewel]

@rain flare ohh i see. thats a good idea!

[half dragon]

Would be great to know since I plan to kill yag multiple times. I got idea to make a mage tower and add some wisp fountains outside of it as decoration

[rain flare]

Boss’s always drop the same amount of stuff

[half dragon]

I've filled 4 black metal chests with marble... surely it's enough?

[warm sandal]

well... he died right next to a pillar and it was hard enough to geht the second from where it has fallen, so the third might have dropped under the pillar... need to get the pickaxe and check 😦

[paper marsh]

never enough

[half dragon]

you're right. need to continue evicting dvergrs.

[paper marsh]

attaboy

[leaden dock]

how good is the atgeir?

[rain flare]

At least it’s not under that central bit 😭

[half dragon]

the amount of copper you get from bringing down their structures is really damn nice. Never thought I'd see a black metal chest full of copper, but at this rate will see it very soon

[warm sandal]

I am not even sure if it is underneath the pillar but i need check...you can live with only two no prob... but i want it all

[rain flare]

Very - you have extra reach on your attack, excellent crowd control

Reasonable upgrade costs

[leaden dock]

alright

[rain flare]

Would always recommend

[leaden dock]

so ditch mistwalker?

[azure yacht]

Don't dare

[leaden dock]

yes sir

[rain flare]

Embrace himmn afl

[leaden dock]

or ma'm

[azure yacht]

Mistwalker is recommended, even essential in ashlands

[rain flare]

Reject the mistwalker!!!

[azure yacht]

It's actually great overall

[rain flare]

Lightning damage is OP in Ashland’s

[leaden dock]

I have the lightning spear

[sleek slate]

I’m running the Big 2 handed from mistlands

[azure yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/bees-looking-at-cameron-knowing-he-is-the-bee-pokemon-gif-25278512

[ivory knot]

hello guys i just started my gportal server and i would need some help or assistance to setup some mods any one who could help me thanks in advance !

[sleek slate]

It’s a struggle hahahaa

[leaden dock]

epic embeded fail

[sleek slate]

No mods best mods

[rain flare]

Your gods have no power here 🤣

[paper marsh]

Atgeirs secondary attack is pretty OP

[leaden dock]

ill use mistwalker

[paper marsh]

Mistwalker is good for damage in general, Atgeir is good if you don't want to fight enemies but just constantly stunlock and knock them back

[leaden dock]

I like parrying :3

[unreal egret]

Was core wood removed ? None of the pine trees are giving any core wood

[plush umbra]

are there any good servers to join for a new player?

[paper marsh]

me too 😄

I hate atgeirs personally because they don't feel fun to me

[plush umbra]

i wanna get the game but i have no idea about what to do and dont wanna play solo

[paper marsh]

You're probably cutting fir trees instead of pine trees. Black Forest has both

[plush umbra]

Damn bats killed all my boar "crys silently in rage"

[leaden dock]

is carpace buckler the best for starting ashlands?

[unreal egret]

Thank you snail !

[paper marsh]

Yeah. And even once you get the Ashlands shield, a fully upgraded carapace buckler still parries better than a fully upgraded Ashlands shield, weirdly enough

Ashlands shield does better at blocking tho

[leaden dock]

ah alright

I was thinking of grinding out full flametal gear

try and build a tank

[paper marsh]

You can get real tanky with that armor and some good health food

[warm sandal]

ooooohhh.... they changed that...you can not destroy the plllars on yag altar anymore

bummer...so folks be careful where you kill yag... try to not be next to a pillar

had to dig a trench all around and under it untll i found the missing drop 😦

[rain flare]

They WHAT??? 👀
My dream of a yagluth disco ball can come true at last!!! 🥳

[warm sandal]

tried to hack down that pillar and the iron pickaxe does not damage it at all... so yeah... better protection then before 😄

[frigid gust]

Pillar... like the big fingers around the altar?

[warm sandal]

jupp

[frigid gust]

Did the meteors he fires still damage them?

[warm sandal]

nope... after the f ight they were pristine and not at all damaged 😄

[frigid gust]

Huh. Now I'm gonna have to go see what's up with that. That might even qualify as a bug.

[paper marsh]

All the other boss altars are unbreakable, wouldn't surprise me they made yags fingies like that

Well, ||Ashlands boss|| has a lot of breakability by his altar

[frigid gust]

Yeah, but the central area was already unbreakable. I always thought his taking down the fingers was part of the charm, leaving no place for you to hide eventually 😛 Nerfing Yagluth...

[maiden jewel]

Well, I discovered my first ||Putrid Hole|| and was greeted by a 2-star Morgen. Is that normal lol? 😄

[smoky quarry]

i hope you ran

[frigid gust]

Sounds like you got really... lucky...

[maiden jewel]

I turned around and ran. Im now just wondering if it's doable. Probably not? 🤔

[smoky quarry]

one hit, all it takes

don`t bother with the shield

[maiden jewel]

rip

[smoky quarry]

you could deploy 2 ballistae outside and lure him in range, with traps

[high moat]

Haha, I would x that putrid hole out and relabel it avoid.

[smoky quarry]

if inside, rip.

[paper marsh]

Can't place ballistas in a dungeon, and can't get morgen to leave dungeon

[smoky quarry]

down some ale and go at it, leeeroy

[paper marsh]

cover your sword with anti-undead oil

[flat zealot]

truly the witcher moment

[maiden jewel]

bonemass, 3 health foods and frostner. yolo

[paper marsh]

Frostner more like ||Blood Slayer (2 hand sword)||

[warm sandal]

goooosh the paddedd armor feels so slow after running around so long in fenris 😦 but for now... more protection against that beasties is in order

[craggy mason]

Anyone else's framerate suffer HEAVILY when staying near a fire for too long ?

[paper marsh]

If you're in plains a pretty good combo can be padded helmet, root chest, and fenris legs. Fenris makes you go fast, helmet gives you armor (without losing speed because its a helmet), and root chestpiece gives you resistance to deathsquitoes, spear fulings, and knife fulings. Pretty good loadout

[paper marsh]

don't think so no

[warm sandal]

I usually do fare pretty well in plains with all fenris 😄 but now it is mistlands and that is a whole different story 😄

[paper marsh]

Ah. Mistlands still feels pretty good in fenris + root for me, but it's not quite as stylish as all fenris

[warm sandal]

I love the root but i go for wolf armor to not be flammable when i go into mountain caves and i do many caves to get fenris fast as possible 😄

[frigid gust]

I do the same, but the root harnesk is super powerful in the Plains and even more so in the Mistlands 😉 Especially once you get some barley going and can remove the weakness.

[paper marsh]

I'm definitely gonna need some fenris armor for Yag fight because I'm playing without resistance meads

But heck, I'd use fenris armor anyways. Nyoooooom

[frigid gust]

https://tenor.com/view/spiderman-cant-touch-this-dodge-gif-5952296

[warm sandal]

i will switch back to fenris the moment i got accustomed to the bugs attack pattern, but for now... i get staggered if they hit me - can not have that until i am sure i can dodge and not get hit 😄

[paper marsh]

Maybe you need some better food in your tummy

[warm sandal]

that too ... have to collect some mistland stuff first though 😄 i have lox pie and fish wraps and bread... 😄 need mistland foodstuffsis than it will be easier... i just barely defeated yag... settle in mistlands and get comfy with it will be a while

i just saw a squito hitting a seeker twice and draw half his life ... 😄

[paper marsh]

I'm a bit of a food connoiseur I like to go grab some mistlands food before going and having a violent conversation with yag 😅

[smoky quarry]

Armor food & a big shield helps

[warm sandal]

I tried to do that... but then i could not find a spot where i could at least see the hares ...so went with the usual and yag is no prob to defeat... my favorite boss for ease of killing 😄 .. plains is by far my favorite biome 😄

[paper marsh]

I'm personally more a fan of the smaller shields

[smoky quarry]

I like the medium’s ability to do both ok

[paper marsh]

I think my favorite biome is Mistlands, but favorite bossfight is Moder

[mossy lance]

guys anyone knows a low pop (3-4) dedicated server that i can join and mind my own business ? 😅

[smoky quarry]

Mistlands is nice once you find the clear spots, it gets beautifully dangerous

Also it has dverg, that give || free lanterns ||. Cant beat that

[paper marsh]

Give lanterns, get brutally murdered and have your lanterns stolen, same thing

[smoky quarry]

i myself, emply the services of gjalls for such bloody jobs

[nimble scarab]

have you guys encountered any major bugs? I haven't tried the new Ashlands yet

[warm sandal]

I got luckyyyyyy... the point where i entered the mist (where i did not hear a gjall already spawned) had a skull and torso with armor and sword all neatly together and a goodly number of yggdrasil shoots around for yggdrasil wood. And the gjall that showed up like after i hit the first tree i managed to shoot death without it hitting me once... right outside on the plains are some lox to be tamed and good flat ground to build a base and best of all... there is not only rock but i can have a mistgarden in there 😄 perfect spot 😄 ... oh i forgot to mention the tangle of 5 different roots in the area too... PERFECT... never found a better spot in all my hours of playing 😄

[paper marsh]

Not much no. There is one bug that can potentially cause you ||to slide off solid ground into burning lava|| which is very unfortunate, but other than that I think Ashlands has no huge bugs.

[nimble scarab]

doesn't sound that game breaking, should be playable

[paper marsh]

yea it is perfectly playable. That bug also only happens in one specific spot where you have to spend effort to get to

[tight yacht]

Damn so swords and atgeirs are the primo crowd handlers

Which do you think is the better CC method between swords or atgeirs?

[paper marsh]

Probably atgeirs, because they're brokenly good not letting enemies ever get near you

[spice cradle]

2 handed hammer

[tight yacht]

Can you parry with an atgeir to get the parry bonus damage like you can with a sword + shield?

[paper marsh]

But swords are very nice too

Yea atgeirs parry pretty well, works same as a shield

[tight yacht]

So it would be a good idea to pick

1. Ranged option
2. Single target + shield
3. Multi target

As far as weapon focus goes

[strange arrow]

yes but for 2. i'd take both mace and sword

[paper roost]

hi guys

[ebon siren]

mountain and mistlands are my faves. swamp and plains least fav

[tiny tiger]

Yo so If I have resistant chest and legs to fire but feather cape does it neutralise the weakness? How does it work

resistant + resistant + very weak = normal damage or?

[rain flare]

Plains = best music

[paper roost]

resistances should overwrite the weakness

[tiny tiger]

Plains is my favourite just for the vibes tbh

It feels like Meadows 2.0

[strange arrow]

"my back yard"

[paper marsh]

I will say taking out fuling villages is very satisfying

[paper roost]

visually my favorite biom become ashland, not that much with the mobs 😄

[paper marsh]

I love having that horde of enemies come charging at me, and the fact that you can go in swords blazing or totally stealthy

[strange arrow]

"the garden biome"

[paper marsh]

I really want that type of experience with Ashlands fortresses 🙄

[tiny tiger]

I always like to pick off the enemies on the outskirts then go in

[strange arrow]

run in and survive, picking off everything without dying

[tiny tiger]

Rn I’m trying to decide on where I wanna position my plains base but it’s a struggle with all the options

[paper marsh]

I'm trying to learn how to do stealth killing with a knife better. Haven't done it a ton before but I'm learning

Seems like it's a pretty small alertness radius when you knife someone

[tiny tiger]

I imagine as you get your stealth skill up it’ll feel better

[paper marsh]

How much harder is it for enemies to see you at night? Is it really worth it going in at night for that sneak buff?

[tiny tiger]

I’ve not used knives or swords at all I think I’m just gonna minmax frostner and draugr

[fluid prism]

hey friends, 100+ hours here, friends and i wanna spin up a hosted server, and i've been poking around to see what hosting site works best. if anyone has had any good suggestions, i would appreciate if you DM me, i dont wanna encourage breaking the "no hosting advertisements" rule ❤️ PS: we're mostly US east based if that helps

[tiny tiger]

I saw somewhere it’s like 50% difference

[strange arrow]

some mobs have better sight than others

[paper roost]

its no radius, you can kill 3 lox without a sweat with sneak hits

[paper marsh]

interesting

[rain flare]

Night is better if I remember correctly

[strange arrow]

wolves will spot you a mile away, and lox will hardly notice you unless yr close enough for it to breathe on xD

[tiny tiger]

I wonder what the next update is gonna be? Do you think they’ll do something similar to previously with these in between updates between major biomes that fill the game out?

[rain flare]

Any ideas for our friend?

[tiny tiger]

Like I’m imagining a second armour set for plains

[vocal rivet]

Not happening.

[rain flare]

I don’t do servers so I won’t know 😭

[paper roost]

each weapon gives you different experience of the game

[tiny tiger]

My next run I’m gonna try swords and knives

I just like the frostner too much on my first playthrough

[burnt glen]

Knives are amazing

[paper marsh]

Yea less light is better, but I haven't experimented a lot with it so I wonder how influential it really is

[paper roost]

its a good call for beginners, advanced combat techniques are with different weapons

[tiny tiger]

The Silver sword seems pretty good I saw a someone solo yagluth with it in like 4-5 mins

[paper marsh]

I'm not a big frostner fan

[tiny tiger]

Too mainstream?

[burnt glen]

too cold

[tiny tiger]

I’d love the middle mouse attack to be like a AoE frost attack instead of the regular mace swing

[paper roost]

too simple- hit, knockback, hit, knockback, nothing you can learn from that

[paper marsh]

I am gonna use some more maces and swords this run because they are good, but yeah usually I opt more for knives and spears and such because they're faster attack speed allowing me to be quick and mobile. Swords and maces I feel lock me in place a bit too long or don't let me get 3 hit combo off

Also yea the rave around maces and swords also makes me like them a bit less

Think I also value mobility more because I'm used to playing on higher difficulty where it can be tough getting a parry off to have time for a full follow up mace/sword combo, and being hit once means death

[tiny tiger]

See I’m trying a middle ground with fenrir set and frostner I don’t want to sacrifice too much mobility

[paper marsh]

What I find annoying about frostner too is the high knockback

[paper roost]

same

[tiny tiger]

Agreed but it’s situational tbh

sometimes it handy other times it gets in the way

[paper marsh]

I like being able to parry someone and then quickly finish them off with a quick knife combo

But using iron mace in swamp right now and it is pretty convenient being able to kill skellies and blobs so fast

[tiny tiger]

God damn it’s the dead of night and not a single wraith in the swamp

[paper marsh]

Prob gonna try and use a silver sword when I get to mountain

[foggy glacier]

You gotta look waaay up in the air.

[tiny tiger]

They don’t appear above the trees right?

Usually I’ve had them come up to me when I didn’t want them to now I can’t find them when I’m seeking them out lol

[maiden jewel]

Took time but I did it 😄 2-star morgen in ||putrid hole|| is no more

took a screenshot but cant upload it here

[ember panther]

Oh God. Morgen can have stars? 😱

[cunning gazelle]

Is it just me or do enemies spawn ridiculously fast in Ashlands

[paper marsh]

A lot of people think so, but I think that's the theme of the biome

All out war with the hordes of Ashlands mobs

[quaint snow]

I only have a freezing problem in the living area in the game. help me

[paper marsh]

If you have a lot of torches / fires around or a very big base that can cause bad performance

[quaint snow]

There was no problem, I just created a water area with a trick and that was it.

Could water be the problem?

[paper marsh]

What trick?

[quaint snow]

waterliquid

[paper marsh]

spawning things other than just regular items in with devcommands can likely cause some freezing issues I think. It can be risky sometimes

I think you might be able to remove it again with "forecedelete" and looking at it, but I don't know much about it

[half dragon]

Step 1: Add a new biome very suitable for Atgeir
Step 2: Do not add a new Atgeir

[paper marsh]

Clearly you must now become a spear main

Spugelo - Spear gang

rolls off the tongue much better than Atgeir

[silver shoal]

Tbh spear is the weakest item in game

Maybe the new one is exception when enchanted

[half dragon]

Eh, it was already far from being weak, just not fun to use when it looks like you're just waving around a pointy stick

also is extremely cheap to make, which would be very useful if actually used one

really unfortunate that can't stack spears up to something like 5 so you could throw a few of them

[paper marsh]

I prefer spears to battleaxes and 2 handed maces

Although it really just depends on the situation and what traits you value. I don't think any weapon I can think of in the game is particularly bad

[tight yacht]

So in reality it's more like use every weapon except spears and daggers lol

Actually someone said the dude who got the best time used spears, are they actually good?

[half dragon]

it probably has a lot to do with low cost of the weapon

[spice cradle]

every mob is resistant to pierce, an atgeir would be pretty bad

[tight yacht]

What's the use case for sword vs atgeir

[half dragon]

that they're completely different and not really comparable

[tight yacht]

When to use an atgeir then

[half dragon]

sword is more of a 1v1 weapon while Atgeir is 1vMany

[frigid gust]

You can use a shield with a sword, and enemies that are weak to slash will be better handled by a sword.

[tight yacht]

Is there anything that competes with atgeir in crowds?

[little rapids]

This is random but some kind of flying mount for very late game would be bad ass

[tight yacht]

Swords don't have cleave reduction so would those be viable as an alternative

[half dragon]

battleaxe and 2 handed maces do make an attempt... but neither of them do it as great as Atgeir

[frigid gust]

There's the krom, which is a two-handed sword, works similarly to the atgeir in some instances

[tight yacht]

What makes an atgeir better than a sword for dealing with crowds?

[half dragon]

does krom not get reduced damage for multi hits?

That atgeir does 100% damage to every enemy no matter how many it hits

[frigid gust]

Nope. Krom is like all swords like that IIRC.

[tight yacht]

Sounds like I'd pretty much always want a bow, and I pick either a mace or sword depending on biome vulnerabilities, then take an atgeir for...crowds that a sword can't deal with?

[half dragon]

sword can deal with crowds... it's just much harder and you'll need to be really good at positioning, timing and parrying

[spice cradle]

if you use a mace, use the 2 handed hammer because they both scale with your club skill

[tight yacht]

2h hammer instead of an atgeir?

[spice cradle]

yeah

[tight yacht]

But I thought the whole point of the atgeir was for its reach, aoe, and lack of cleave damage reduction

[half dragon]

oh and massive stagger

[tight yacht]

Is the 2h hammer comparable to it in those categories?

[frigid gust]

Those are the same benefits for the 2H hammer, it's just slow to attack.

[half dragon]

meaning, much harder to use

[spice cradle]

the 2 handed hammer has greater aoe, more knockback and deals more damage but it’s slower

[half dragon]

it does slap hard when it hits tho

[spice cradle]

it can also attack through walls

[tight yacht]

I think I prefer faster attack

Movement is critical to staying alive

[frigid gust]

It's an intended mechanic. Even if you have reach the atgeir and such cannot attack through walls.

[half dragon]

the reach and acceptable attack speed, a bit slower than 1h weapons, but not really that much slower

[paper marsh]

It's intended that 2h hammers hit through walls?

[frigid gust]

Yup

[paper marsh]

feels odd

Also atgeir used to hit through walls too right?

[spice cradle]

the downside to the atgeir is that you can’t use a shield and you have to commit to it in order to scale its damage with your main weapons

[tight yacht]

Yeah I'm still debating sword vs atgeir

[half dragon]

when I started using Atgeir more, I noticed I started parrying less and less. Why parry when you can just stagger the enemy by hitting it once whenever you want to?

[paper marsh]

tbh though atgeirs have pretty decent block armor and parry modifier

[bleak pewter]

Xbox finally got valheim update or still have to use Xbox beta testing method?

[frigid gust]

Not that I remember

[tight yacht]

Sword gets the same no cleave damage reduction, so why use an atgeir over a sword and shield

And you can parry for extra damage

[half dragon]

sword has pathetic reach... it's not going to hit multiple enemies, unlesss you go for 2h version

[spice cradle]

sword doesn’t 360, can’t hit things behind you

[half dragon]

Atgeir is able to do 360 spin with massive reach

[spice cradle]

also low knockback and not the best at staggering

[paper marsh]

I think I remember people cheesing Queen with atgeir through wall at first

Also I remember firespark making a video on raising terrarin walls near a fuling village and then getting fuling to chase him over there. Then attacking them through the walls with the atgeir

[paper marsh]

It can easily hit multiple enemies even if it's not as good as an atgeir

[tight yacht]

Things behind you is a positioning issue, but I get what you mean

[merry sun]

btw is faster killing the Queen with melee weapons without cheesing (much harder too)

[spice cradle]

well if you’re surrounded how can you not have something behind you

[frigid gust]

The winner of the Trial of Tyr did a fair amount of damage like that IIRC

[paper marsh]

agreed

[merry sun]

i went to kill The Queen today with B-Axes and was sooo fast (even level 1 axes)

[half dragon]

Not easily at all. It does happen, but not often. Enemies do not usually just walk up to you in a straight line and get bunched up. Many of the group enemies just maintain some distance from each other most of the time I noticed

[merry sun]

??? My Mistwalker can easily hit 3 or 4 enemies

[half dragon]

in Ashland?

[paper marsh]

In my experience pretty much all melee enemies just walk up to you in a straight line

[merry sun]

yes?

[half dragon]

Well that's the only biome where it works like that...

[paper marsh]

And you can go stand by a ranged enemy and have a melee come over and hit them both

[half dragon]

and that's because there's crap ton of enemies

[merry sun]

but they need to be side-a-side

[paper marsh]

It can be pretty useful parrying even just 2 melee enemies then hitting them with a sword for double damage on both

[merry sun]

Probably today i will be on ashlands multiplayer and i need to say, that damage/blocking calculator is completely wrong

[paper marsh]

though in situations with a bunch of enemies right in my face I probably won't attack much, because me attacking is gonna also mean me getting hit

[merry sun]

Our Fullings have like 500 hp instead of 175, and does alot of damage

[verbal sky]

Finally got 5 black cores the other night after intense difficulty finding infested mines and decided I'm going to try to use Krom going into the ashlands

[paper marsh]

What does fuling hp have to do with blocking?

[half dragon]

black cores are pain to get. I've been clearing many mines and I've finally gone past 20...

[paper marsh]

eh maybe I just don't know which calculator it is

[merry sun]

Anyway they are very op and got high damage

[verbal sky]

hit em with a frost weapon and the tend to just kinda stand there not doing fuck all, fulings that is.

then again I tend to move into the plains as soon as I get iron so I can make a stone cutter and make my long term base so I'm used to fighting them with abyssal razor and bronze bucklers

[merry sun]

FR

[paper marsh]

tbh once I get a root chest plains doesn't seem so scary, even on higher difficulty

[frigid gust]

As long as you see the Fuling Shamans before they see you 😉

[verbal sky]

lol

[paper marsh]

They only spawn in villages so I'm sure I will. Bigger threat is club fulings

[verbal sky]

they'd be far more dangerous if they spawn in the night mobs or just outside of camps in general

[paper marsh]

little oneshot fellas

[verbal sky]

one thing that drives me nuts about the plains is when i fuck up and need to corpse run and I get back luck with the squito spawns

[merry sun]

Ngl id really think multiplayer with 4+ Players >> Very hard

being one shooted by Brenna with full Flametal set is kinda embarrasing

[paper marsh]

Well your multiplayer world doesn't sound vanilla with what you've been describing

[merry sun]

IT IS

[tight yacht]

What I meant by that was you shouldn't be letting things get behind you at all

[merry sun]

I got 2 clips of me being one shooted by mosquitos with full linen set + root chest

[tight yacht]

Do you guys keep your prior gear for any reason?

[paper marsh]

Like fulings should go from 175 hp to like 330 effective hp, not 500

And Brenna should have like 84 damage with 4 players, which means you're either running barely any food to be killed by brenna in flammetal, or somethings wrong

[merry sun]

Its Hard difficult btw

[paper marsh]

nostalgia, and backup gear for corpseruns

[mild cedar]

i display my gear on walls after im done using it

[frigid gust]

I like having a hall of armors on armor stands, and keep my most recent gear for corpse runs in an accessible chest.

[merry sun]

like heavy armor is useless in multiplayer, we already played in the same squad like 4 other times and always we got one shooted by random things that arent suposed to one shot us

[paper marsh]

Makes a bit more sense then. Still, I think mobs having +12% damage +90% health from multiplayer scaling is a lot easier than mobs having +100% damage +30% health from difficulty scaling

[frigid gust]

Sometimes I'll even make extra copies of like, root armor because it looks awesome

[paper marsh]

It's really more the Hard difficulty than the Multiplayer though

[merry sun]

Multiplayer scalling sounds scary rn

[paper marsh]

On Normal you shouldn't be getting oneshot much even with 6 people

[frigid gust]

Multiplayer scaling adds 4% damage per player within 100m, and 30%(?) health I believe

[paper marsh]

Multiplayer scaling gives +4% damage +30% hp to mobs, for each additional person. Caps at 5 players

[strange arrow]

30% effective health*

[merry sun]

Where are these from

[paper marsh]

wiki

[frigid gust]

Is it higher defense levels then?

[paper marsh]

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/World_Modifiers

[strange arrow]

their actual hp doesn't increase, it's the other stats like defense, that make it up to be effectively 30%

[paper marsh]

Sounds like it shows the damage marker to be the same with multiplayer scaling, but the boss is physically taking a bit less damage

[vocal vale]

How many times does it stack though

[paper marsh]

up to 5 players

which I'm not 100% sure if that means 5 total players or 5 additional players to the host. I'm assuming it's 5 total

[vocal vale]

I’d think 5 extra since you wouldn’t add 4% to a single player?

[uneven forge]

deepnorth when?

[paper marsh]

you would not add to a single player no. But still not sure

[paper marsh]

few years prob

[tight yacht]

How many weapon skills can you realistically grind up... are the skills even worth it or should you just have all the weapons anyways

I usually end up just shooting everything with a bow anyways since it's so satisfying to land shots

[paper marsh]

whatever floats your boat. High skill compared to low skill is a drastic difference, but since skill levels fast at low levels and slow at high levels it takes a lot of grinding a specific weapon to really make it stand out

Bows specifically benefit unrealistically much from bow skill

Most people use like maybe 2 melee weapons throughout their run I'd say. Gives some diversified damage options and gives you something else to rely on if a biome skips your main weapon. And on 2 weapons you can get decent skill

[tight yacht]

I'll probably just do mace and sword then

Shields and bows op

[paper marsh]

No

try and log out and back in

[coral drum]

ashlands on hard mod looks like he leaves Elden Ring in the dust

[mortal otter]

does someone know why some ticks are immortal?

[paper marsh]

Maybe campfires could help. Sounds unfortunate though

[river forge]

Is there any way of gaining eitr other than food?

[paper marsh]

Bombs maybe?

[mild cedar]

eitr weave set i think

[paper marsh]

No, but there's multiple ways of increasing eitr regen rate

[river forge]

so have to keep making food

[paper marsh]

yup

[mild cedar]

thats what eitr weave does i forgor

[river forge]

vexing

[paper marsh]

Yeah eitr weave makes you regenerate your eitr bar faster, but you need to eat eitr food to have the eitr bar in the first place

[mild cedar]

yeah

[dreamy kiln]

all having fun? 🙂

[mild cedar]

yeah, just started production of linen thread and am almost done taming a lox

[dreamy kiln]

sounds plains fun 😄

[mild cedar]

still need to look for yag tho

[dreamy kiln]

u restarted or a new player?

[mild cedar]

restarted for ashlands

[dreamy kiln]

did the same

full play thru

😅

[small torrent]

did they change how getting your house raided works??

[mild cedar]

i dont think so

[dreamy kiln]

why you think so?

[merry pebble]

i dont think so 🤔 at least on current playthrough i didnt notice any difference yet

[last tusk]

Why are we forced to wear a bird's nest on our heads with the ashen cape? Blocks the beard, blocks the eyes (mostly) and is just plain gray wall covering too much. Other capes doesnt even compare because ashen cape has such amazing armor value (which is a great thing) that its neccessary to wear it.

[small torrent]

i havent been attacked and im 20 days deep into a game, like at all

[merry pebble]

you are just lucky 😄

[dreamy kiln]

wait, let me send you 2 trolls 😄

[small torrent]

havent killed elder yet

no trolla for me ❌

[dreamy kiln]

i think trolls get unlocked when u start killing them

[ornate sigil]

Are you on player specific difficulty vs standard(bosses killed)? That might change things.

[small torrent]

nah im on all default settings

[dreamy kiln]

the true viking 🙂

[small torrent]

i read online it was after elder months and months ago#

[merry pebble]

you are pretty similar at progression to me it seems 😄 i also have day 20 something now since i started new world for ashlands (also didnt go for elder yet so no trolls but i already had forest is moving 🙂 )

[small torrent]

like probably a year ago tbh

[small torrent]

oh dude im in the exact same boat

[azure yacht]

Both

[small torrent]

just started a new world for the update aswell, and i cheated for a few buildingmaterials in my main world cuz i got lazy

so i wanted my pure unsalted playthrough

I just got the forest is moving, like right this very second

[merry pebble]

nah, no cheats for me 😄 thats what i have my cheating char and world for (mostly for testing tho)

[small torrent]

lmao nah my games good then

[obtuse parrot]

yooo

[merry pebble]

🤣

[small torrent]

complained too loud and someone heard

[slow flicker]

little over 10k in gold and nothing to spend it on lol

[obtuse parrot]

failed to connect, wheres the guide

[merry pebble]

rsmlord couldnt send trolls so he sent greydwarfs XD

[small torrent]

THEY KILLED ALL MY BOARS

THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HAVING BOARS

I DIDNT KNOW

[mild cedar]

get ready, bats will do that if they raid unless the boars are in a shelter.

wonderful lox is tamed

[small torrent]

Dude im actually so upset, they all had names from the big lez cast

im making graves

[dreamy kiln]

💪

latest in ashlands u will have to face me 😉

[merry pebble]

if you will give me certain hilt... then with plesure 😄

[dreamy kiln]

at your service 😄

[ornate sigil]

If you want to get fancy with the graves, you could sink into the ground one of the bumpy stones. I think they are 1x1x2.

[small torrent]

example?

[modern moon]

if i upgrade my weapons before using gems on them will the upgrades carry over? like is it a waste of mats to upgrade the base weapons

[ornate sigil]

I'll need to post something once I get home from work. Can I DM you so I remember to do so?

[maiden prism]

Is Ashlands out for Xbox yet?

[small torrent]

i gotchu

[shy marlin]

should be ye

[maiden prism]

Noiiiice

[dreamy kiln]

i think they go to tier1 but im not 100% sure.. maybe it got changed after beta

[dreamy kiln]

#news

[merry pebble]

yeah, the upgrades are disregarded and it makes enchanted weapon lvl1

[dreamy kiln]

thanks Asatru

[merry pebble]

crap, sorry, didnt notice you answered already xD

[dreamy kiln]

yeah but i wasnt sure 😄

[merry pebble]

tbh i also go by what was in ptb, but as i didnt see any patchnote that said it was changed i think it should still be the case 😅

[modern moon]

thanks i wont risk it then, do the elemental versions require more of the gems or anything to upgrade?

would kinda suck if it was like that but its the exact same mats to upgrade anyway

[merry pebble]

they should require gems to upgrade them, yes

[spare quest]

man i just found a nice shrine and a morgen just cannonballed into it, destroying 75% of it

i hate them already

[dreamy kiln]

🏐

[merry pebble]

i would say more of bowling ball? 🤔

[modern moon]

does rotten meat have a use?

[dreamy kiln]

🎳

[paper marsh]

Just as buke berry 2.0 I think

[merry pebble]

nuke berry?! 👀

[toxic eagle]

valheim keeps crashing when i make a new world what is happening

[paper marsh]

Kills all enemies and allies within 300m and leaves a large crater

[paper marsh]

#valheim-help message

[toxic eagle]

ok

[merry pebble]

including destroying your corpse and all the items you had XD

[ornate sigil]

"War, war never changes"

[steel copper]

Why does the ash cape have a weird face mask hiding my cool new helmet and beard 😐

[slow flicker]

yea im not fan of that design feature for the ashen cape

[ember panther]

Looks terrible with fenris too

[vocal rivet]

To protect you from the ash.

[half dragon]

Ash gud, for lung, me breath good

No me bren no damage

[vocal rivet]

Well, I'd say the opposite really.

[slender rover]

Yeah Morgen's are 100% toothy jackass

[slow flicker]

that would make sense if breathing in the ash without it did actually did anything but i ran around ashlands with my feather cape just the same as i do with the ashen cape so its more just an aesthetic

[vocal rivet]

I'm not debating whether it's a good reason or not, just answering the question.

[half dragon]

you know, they could make it so you'll regen stamina slower without it

[slender rover]

Fortunately Morgen's appear to do very little damage to the Drakkar, judging by how long TWO of them went at mine before I killed them and it was still 3/4 health

[carmine grotto]

ahh yes, ashlands, the update that makes deers drop arrows on death

just got 14 arrows out of nowhere after grabbing the drops of an deer

[vocal rivet]

I mean, it doesn't.

[spare quest]

you know if i fortify it wood and stone

it would give it a nice personality i feel like

[carmine grotto]

then how did i get 14 iron arrows when i had none

[spare quest]

"ruin turned functional" kinda vibe

[carmine grotto]

the deer dropped a bonestack but it transformed into the arrows?

i cant find it anywhere in my inventory

[old kite]

how do you get the askvin skeleton build piece

[paper marsh]

Destroy askvin skeletons you find in the ashlands. They'll randomly drop things like a head, pelvis, etc.

Once you have all the parts you can build the skelly

[old kite]

ok thank you

and is rotten meat used for it?

[paper marsh]

No, don't think it has much use

[half dragon]

what? No rotten meat pie? Preposterous! Rotten entrail sausage is great and all, but where's the pie?

[paper venture]

Someone have any tip to found new sea serpent in ash lands?

[carmine grotto]

wander around the ocean of the ashlands while its night time

i think its the same spawning system as the normal serpent

[paper venture]

Near beach or deep sea?

[carmine grotto]

deep ofc

serpents hates being near land

[paper marsh]

I dunno, think the ashland serpents can spawn pretty close to land

Their spawn rates are high too, so just keep checking the ocean

[slender rover]

I found the trouble with Bonemaw was NOT having them spawn in. They totally spawn among the spires

I fought off like 5 of them on my circuitous route to landfall

[paper marsh]

It took me like 20-30 sec to get to coast when I entered Ashlands water because I had a direct path. Still met a bonemaw tho

I wish they were stronger, they die so easily

[slender rover]

I definitely do not wish they were stronger, they tended to show up at the worst times

[paper marsh]

their damage seems good from what little I've interacted with them, but with a frost staff or something they just poof away in seconds

[uneven forge]

I think with there high spawn rate it’s perfect, if they where any stronger peoples first time sailing to Ashland’s would go something alone the lines of make new boat, sail fast into rock maze, hit rock and get stuck, bonemaw spawns, bonemaw kills ship before it gets killed

[slender rover]

I wouldn't say died in seconds, but the combat stats on my character are relatively low. Mistlands took it's toll, haha

[vagrant bobcat]

so has the community come to a general concensus as to which of the three weapon variants seems to work best for ashlands combat?

[paper marsh]

Like which of the three enchantments?

[vagrant bobcat]

yea

[paper marsh]

Lightning is generally best. It's just straight up extra damage that's very effective, especially on fast attacking weapons like axes.

Nature is useful too on fast attack speed because the immobilizing is powerful, but it requires a bit more strategy to take good use of and the poison damage is trash because charred are immune to it and it doesn't stack

Blood is a unique playstyle that I personally find very fun, but it's generally not too worth it. Pretty much gotta go 3 hp foods and get real low health for it to be good, and that's too much risk for the reward. Hope it gets buffed a lil

[merry sun]

#screenshots Going to ash with 4 players hardmode lets see in what this will end

[lone sapphire]

There's a pretty huge differemce in bubble health dependent on blood magic level. Mechanically the summoning staff levels it significantly faster though.

[vagrant bobcat]

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Do you know if there is like a cap on damage per health missing? Like does damage scale all the way down to 1 HP, or does it like reach its "max damage" at like 50% HP?

[paper marsh]

Have fun!

[paper marsh]

no cap. And importantly it's not based on %hp, but points of hp. So if you're running zero health foods it's pretty useless

[slender rover]

So is pretty much every new ashlands weapon or armor piece gated behind Flametal?

I happened to land on a small island with no fortresses or Flametal spires so I have a few of everything but askvin parts, Flametal, and gems

[paper marsh]

at max you're getting like about 60% damage from blood weapons, but it's real risky

[paper marsh]

I think the staves are just gated behind gems, but not sure

[vagrant bobcat]

Yea, seems pretty lack luster then. It might seem more reasonable id damage scalling was calculated from % instead of flat value, and cap it someonewhere reasonable like 25%, so you don't feel like you need to be at 1% health for it to be worth it

[nocturne wolf]

Try to explore islands in the centre, it’s more likely to be bigger.

[slender rover]

Oh, I can build a staff of fracturing now with what I have got

[paper marsh]

Personally I really like it how it is. But I wouldn't mind it being 0.3% or 0.4% damage per hp missing, instead of 0.2%

If it becomes percent based it's just gonna be used a ton by blood mages, and mages don't need to be buffed more

[slender rover]

Yeah I packed up pretty much my entire mini base and am about to set sail again.

Very unfortunate, I had a good defensible position just a few meters offshore

I kept a small portal there for fiddlehead and smoke puff runs though.

And apparently Morgen parts because those guys like to turn up to wreck your day like clockwork

[vagrant bobcat]

Am I missing something, or can the Galdr table only get to lv 4 while the Black Forge can get lv 5?

Been playing for a while and have only found the 3rd upgrade for the Galdr table

[nocturne wolf]

I think it only goes to level 4

[vagrant bobcat]

Damn, that's super lame then that we can't fully upgrade new mage gear

[brazen rune]

wouldnt be valhiem if you werent locked out of maxing your gear until the next expansion

[nocturne wolf]

Think of the current highest level as the max level, since in normal gameplay it is the max level.

[paper marsh]

game just isn't complete yet

In Deep North you'll prob be able to

[nocturne wolf]

And our deep north items will never have a next biome to reach max level in

[pliant hatch]

Maybe we don't have to.

After all, most of us are able to defeat the bosses with "inferior" weapons after all.

[paper venture]

Bonemaw's teeth floating in the water?

[tiny tiger]

I left my pc in sleepmode with valheim paused and I get back and the world has been completely wiped?

[nocturne wolf]

Load a backup

[tiny tiger]

the pc was off for some reason too my character didnt lose any progress

yeah i have a backup from yesterday just means ill have lost all my mistlands progress today :/

[nocturne wolf]

You might keep some progress if your character had important items

[tiny tiger]

using a backup doesnt restore the character right?

[nocturne wolf]

World and character backups are separate

[tiny tiger]

thank fuck

i only just managed to get the cultist trophy

[nocturne wolf]

You could use devcommands to get back anything you’ve lost

[tiny tiger]

Ok I’ve restored and Ive not lost much tbh so it’s bearable

Still got the galdr table at my mistlands base I only lost a food chest

[stable crest]

urgh i wish we could plant berry bushes and mushrooms

[smoky quarry]

berries & shrooms are notoriously difficult to grow

[stable crest]

i love valheim so much its just frustrating that theyre used for s many recipes and you cant specifically plant them

[smoky quarry]

certain blueberries wont grow in captivity even today

[stable crest]

maybe greenhouse option somehow lol

[smoky quarry]

berries & shrooms don`t grow in greenhouses

[azure yacht]

Those resources become irrelevant sooner than later anyway

[tiny tiger]

If you are playing with maps make sure to mark all the berries and mushrooms in your world

[smoky quarry]

aham troll skin

[left ermine]

First time visiting Ashlands, we didn't last more than 30 sec... It's gonna be a tough journey 🫠

[smoky quarry]

it burns

[left ermine]

Right in the feels !

[smoky quarry]

why can`t i just pour a few fire resist potions over my longship and drive it to Ashlands?

[pliant hatch]

You can try, but I fear the water will wash it away.

[ornate sigil]

because they made it a "heat" issue and not a "fire" issue

hence "heat resistance" on the armor set

[alpine sedge]

are there any tips for finding haldor

[slender rover]

Sail around black forest coastlines

Or if you have done a ton of that and still can't and are fed up, just use the worldviewer

[blissful stream]

i now have like 3 capes that i'm constantly rotating through lmao

[tiny tiger]

What capes? Since reaching mistlands I’m just using feather cape

[pliant hatch]

You may reconsider that once you get into the Ashlands.

[tiny tiger]

I mean I have fenrir set that counteracts the fire weakness

But I imagine 50 defence will be useless in Ashlands

[brazen rune]

I wouldnt advise using fenrir just for the fire resistance, funny enough very little lights you on fire in the ashlands except for the lava, which fenrir armor definitely wont save you from

[chilly zodiac]

quick questions what the best/strongest building material for the ashlands?

[paper marsh]

damn just made my first silver sword ever, this thing is EXPENSIVE

[paper marsh]

I think black marble

[brazen rune]

welcome to any metal armor/tools/weapons in valhiem

it only gets worse from here

[tiny tiger]

lvl 4 frostner 😭

[pliant hatch]

Wouldn't the Grausten be stronger than Black Marble?

After all, if we follow game logic, each building material of a higher biome was also stronger as that of the previous one.

[dapper token]

ikr, its super expensive to upgrade as well

[azure yacht]

160 silver total.

But totally worth it in ashlands, especially if you don't have mistwalker or frostner

[paper marsh]

Eh it's not everything though. I usually make a knife or flesh rippers or spear in mountain and they're super cheap

don't take any pesky iron either

[paper marsh]

Don't think so. At least from what I hear from people it's super low durability

[azure yacht]

Not for this one

Grausten just looks pretty

And it's not immune to elemental dmg, unlike black marble

[stable crest]

true but for early game its helpful

[pliant hatch]

Even late game they can be useful as "being at your base"-food.

[alpine sedge]

whats the worldviewer

[stable crest]

i do this all the time lol, and to feed the boars too

[paper marsh]

look up valheim worldviewer on google. Can input seed and it shows you the location of all the bosses, dungeons, etc. on your entire map

[mint dagger]

so anyone know if the buff from Moder stacks with the new cloak so that you can always have the wind run speed buff?

[paper marsh]

Yes I do know

And no sadly it does not stack :((((

Hope they change that though

At least it didn't stack in beta. Doubt it changed since then but could be worth a look

[mint dagger]

alr thanks

[coarse otter]

nah

barely anything in ashlands actually does fire damage

[paper marsh]

^

[coarse otter]

I'd swap for ||fader|| though

[alpine sedge]

how do i find the world seed 😭

[paper marsh]

Is it a solo server?

[alpine sedge]

no

well its just me and my friend

[paper marsh]

Is it his or your server?

[alpine sedge]

his

[coarse otter]

most servers hide the seed, specifically to prevent map viewer cheese

[paper marsh]

You'll have to ask him then. If it's one he's hosting just on his computer it should show when he select the world before entering it.

If it's a paid dedicated server I'm not entirely sure, but it should say somewhere

[coarse otter]

ruins the experience, just knowing where everything is

[alpine sedge]

i looked for 3 hours trying to find the summon area for the plains boss and i gave up because it was a waste of time

[alpine sedge]

its the opposite for me, i think my expirence is ruined by making me look for hours trying to find something that gives me 1.5x inventory space

[mint dagger]

also is there an Embla Robe for mages? i unlocked the hood and trousers but no robe

[alpine sedge]

thats why i like the things that you can find that tell you where the boss is

[brazen venture]

is it me, or after ashlands fps dropped ?

[pliant hatch]

Except those are occasionally harder to find as the boss they're s'posed to point to.

[paper marsh]

yea should be a full set

[mint dagger]

weird

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps you missed one ingredient?

The robe requires 4 materials, three of which you need to craft the hood and trousers. The 4th is a metal.
My guess is that's what's missing, so did you mine and refine anything of that in your current biome?

[mint dagger]

nope

[unreal veldt]

does anyone know the command to spawn in 2 star troll

[mint dagger]

its the metal then

[pliant hatch]

Spawn Foresttroll 2 1 (if not mistaken).
If that spawns two normal ones, switch the numbers and make it a 3 instead of a 2.

[paper marsh]

I'd guess it would be 1 3

[pliant hatch]

Also, without Forest.
Seems that only goes for the trophy.

So,

Spawn Troll 1 3

[unreal veldt]

thanks

[languid vessel]

Ran into a problem

Map table can be updated, but only one of my group (4 of us) can copy from it. Anyone know what might cause this and how to fix it?

[slender rover]

The map table often causes confusion.

All of you need to write to it first, and then try to read from it. Otherwise you can end up overwriting each other

[languid vessel]

You can do that now!?

[slender rover]

Always been able to....

[languid vessel]

Strange, that isnt the problem

Any time any of us update the map it just says "nothing new to copy", all expect one guy who can copy everything

[pliant hatch]

Does anyone of you actually have updates to the map?

[languid vessel]

Nvm fixed it, dont know how but we fixed it

[tiny tiger]

Gjall fights at the tops of cliffs with the feather cape is my peak mistlands experience so far

I even managed to jump on top of him to get some heavy swings in with the frostner

[paper marsh]

Nice!

I love fighting Gjall

[brazen rune]

out of curiousity, i heard from someone that there is a stack of flametal ore guarenteed in fortress chests, but i raided one earlier and there wasnt anything in there, was that just completely false info

[forest willow]

i always find in the chest or inside the small tower in center, sometime it can be on the ground if they smashed the chest during fighting and maybe rolled away towards wall or so

[azure yacht]

Chance, not guaranteed

[brazen rune]

ah aight

[plush umbra]

Anyone have a server I can join?

Actually nvm

[blissful stream]

sooooo much combat in ashlands

[modern moon]

do the berserkir axes deal chop damage to trees? if so more than jotun bane?

[paper marsh]

Yes and yes

Think it’s more at least. I know that they’re overall faster at cutting trees

[hearty quest]

Best armor

What’s the best armor

[glass parrot]

I think I just watched an enemy in the Ashlands slide on top of another to stab me through the chest

I’m confused

[vagrant bobcat]

man, i dont think i've ever taken as much fall damage as i have in Ashlands... wearing that feather cape as long as I did has like permanently altered my brain when it comes to jumping off stuff

[ember rivet]

but the new cape gives so much def

[vagrant bobcat]

i know, im wearing it and keep forgetting im not wearing the feather cape

so i just keep jumping off stuff then taking a bunch of damage lol

[ember rivet]

Ideally would be switching for these situations but yeah I get what you mean

I died while jumping/skipping a stair in the base

[vagrant bobcat]

same here lmao

[zenith relic]

Shouldd u explore the mountain biome before you kill bone mass ???

[glass parrot]

Up to you but that might be really difficult

[zenith relic]

Cause people are saying u need frost arrows to kill bone mass

[tepid pike]

you dont need frost arrows, but it would make it a little easier .. getting the mats will be difficult though

[zenith relic]

Soo i should just try club him to death ?

[tepid pike]

mace is one of the most effective weapons against him yes, as he's weak to blunt damage

[bitter juniper]

@zenith relic Who says that? Just use a Mace

[tepid pike]

i usually jump on the skull and cheese him with fire arrows lol .. but i'm lazy 😄

[dapper token]

id say so yea, get a decent shield and mace and either block or run from his attacks and then hit him, i recommend bringing stamina and health potions too

[zenith relic]

What level should i make my iron mace for it to be effective??

[fair charm]

I'm confused about how blocking works, took an attack from an enemy, hit for 81 through armour, no worries I'll block with my 80 block armour shield, took 82 damage through armour + block and died

[strange arrow]

it's calculated on block armor, hp and block skill

some attacks are designed to penetrate the shield and deliver damage, especially those from later biome toughies

[fair charm]

Wait enemies have block penetrating attacks?

[strange arrow]

(it's a bit unfair and kinda defeats the object of even carrying a shield at points but yeh)

they hit so hard that no block can withstand it

[foggy glacier]

it can also depend on whether your block failed. If you didn't have enough stamina to successfully block, the shield armor doesn't count.

[fair charm]

I had over 100 stamina

[strange arrow]

but by then yr also getting into magic and the bubble is great

[fair charm]

Went back and blocked the same enemy in the same gear and took 20 damage

[foggy glacier]

the other thing blocking is dependent on is your total hp.

[fair charm]

Total or remaining?

[foggy glacier]

you can block better and not get staggered when your hp is higher.

current hp, not total

[fair charm]

ah I see, only had 80 hp left but still got staggered on 220 health with 20 penetrating through my block

[strange arrow]

under 100hp is very dangerous territory for pulling off blocks

[fair charm]

Just annoys me that I take 1/11th of my health and am staggered, whereas I can hit an enemy for 70% of their hp in one go and they're not staggered

[strange arrow]

filling a mobs stagger bar is dependent on sustained dps not a big hit, unless it's a special like the atgeir spin

[fair charm]

Honestly, I've not gotten a single enemy in ashlands to stagger except with atgeir or parrying

[west pulsar]

It can be due to the stagger meter

[strange arrow]

sounds like it could use a look see if everything is working as it should be, but we might just not be able to output enough

[fair charm]

I mean if I can kill an enemy in one set of blows but not stagger it, it stands to reason that the stagger meter is probably too high

[mossy river]

Raw soft tissue has no use, right?

[strange arrow]

does seem off

[west pulsar]

Some enemies can't be blocked because of this tho and need to be dodged

[fair charm]

Gets processed but apart from that none that I know

[west pulsar]

In my experience its fine because it adds variety to my fighting style
